if you can(have)
use second screen and open the map on it to get a better understanding

starting with interchange since you can kinda follow the boundaries for exits

or a tablet or print it ect.

id love to tag along with someone for a run who knows what theyy are doing

The same is for customs as well more outdoors. I feel it is too easy to get lost in interchange when your new

to be fair, there are campers everywhere
no point avoid a map cause of potentioal campers
fiery rover
a rundown:
kindred ice
I feel like reserve is one of the easier scav maps honestly
prisma slate
in online will scavs and scav boss actually funnel to you like this or did they just do this cause impossible mode lol
fiery rover
customs - best map for pmc early
interchange - best map for scav early
reserve - also good for scav early
kindred ice
Reserve can be great as you can kill the raiders
dawn vapor
Did you have tag and curse up?
kindred ice
And the extracts on reserve are pretty easy for scavs
fiery rover
stay away from other maps like shoreline or factory as long as you don#t make it out of raids

I have a 105, 103, and 110

103 i am not sure tbh but 105 and 110 definitly

still learning though so its cool

I got standard as well :)

standart is fine

i just got the game running really really nice on my new hardware too

Now I got 4 scav junk boxes hhahaaa

I feel like for new people reserve and trying to pick off the raiders is fairly profitable
It's what I did

any tips?

civic acorn
you need to learn the map
naive atlas
run around while spamming f1 taunts
civic acorn
not everyone has a second monitor
solemn pike
@mighty pulsar I feel like saying this is at least a little bit redundant. But the Mosin isn't really a noob friendly gun.
What I did, and this helped a lot, was I watched a couple youtube videos and came to the conclusion that since 80% of the top tier youtubers use the M4, maybe its not the best gun but its definitely the most versatile.
mighty pulsar
i hate the mosin, i dont want to play it... but i have to for jaeger quests so i can get him to lvl 3..
valid pier
What should I sell/ buy from skier to get the 1.1m? I cant find anything to sell to him
solemn pike
Another thing. There is no best gun. I think currently you have between 4-7 viable guns.
mighty pulsar
m4 is expensive af tho, and ammo is even more expensive
bold kernel
reserve or customs?
solemn pike
Mechanic gets your wholesale guns you cant chop down anymore.
bold kernel
ive earned from $ from reserves
solemn pike
Reserve is an end game map. You should only do Reserve when you are competent at the game and confident in your gear.
valid pier
@solemn pike what type of gun parts? like sights and grips and stuff?
solemn pike
Customs is how a lot of people learn to PVP.
yeah.
Sell Skier every gun part Mechanic cant buy.
bold kernel
but cumstons i always run out of time
solemn pike
I think for Tarkov, you start at Customs then when you get better you go to either Interchange or Woods, then when you get better you finally go to Labs or Reserve.
bold kernel
more like mentor lol
solemn pike
I can do 950k Interchange runs fairly easily.
bold kernel
but interchange is harder to get out of
solemn pike
no its not,lmao.
bold kernel
cuz campers
solemn pike
not at all.
valid pier
never ran interchange tbh went straight to reserve and im doing ok
solemn pike
youre asking me for my advice and this is what im giving you. If you dont want it dont ask.
29 now.
solemn pike
no its not. Im hot garbage at the game. Im just doing better lately.
solemn pike
Reserve is not a map for people at level 3 lmao.
bold kernel
i ran just a pistol and rig as pmc
put important stuff in alpha
and went on the sewer truck thing
mighty pulsar
how much money do i have to invest in keys to effectively run reserve?
bold kernel
found 3mcb's and 1 gp
solemn pike
I mean, you can farm the raiders. Thats not the worst idea.
My arsenal was pretty depleted last week, I found 3 kitted out M4s on dead raiders in one raid.
bold kernel
wow
solemn pike
150k each on average.
solemn pike
Here look, this advice might not be applicable to micro, but F4TE might hopefully be able to use it.
I wrote up this wall of text yesterday.
If you kill Killa, the helmet is worth like 95k fully repaired. The armor is worth about 200k fully repaired. The grenades are worth about 35-40k depending on some luck, he also generally spawns with a blue labs card which is worth 140k. The RPK he has is worth 55k..... Not a mathematician but this is adding up to a lot already.
But heres the thing.
The ammo in his mags are worth 1000 roubles each.
The mags themselves are 15k each to level 2 mechanic.
I made 280k just selling his ammo.
I doubled my roubles, from 5.2m to 10.4m in the last 24hrs by farming the main concourse on Interchange. When I get Killa, I used to think oh just sell the mags with the ammo still in them. Igolnik is almost as good as M995 for value. Damn I feel so dumb now.
mighty pulsar
blue labs card is over 5 mil, what are you on about lmao
bold kernel
im not confident into killing killa or any boss
Labs access he means
just started yesterday
solemn pike
I meant the generic base labs card.
He also spawns the red labs card which averages 25m.
flat cipher
killing killa is not a reliable way of money
mighty pulsar
idk man your wall of text is literally saying nothing
"take out the ammo and sell it" yea well thx for the advice lmao
bold kernel
this is begginers help
solemn pike
you dont gotta be a dick dude.
solemn pike
I didnt realize he uses Igolnik rounds until 2 days ago.
mighty pulsar
didnt mean to be a dick, but that simply doesnt help at all^^
flat cipher
yeah its note helpful at all
bold kernel
ive never dropped into interchange how the fuck im i killing killa with an aks or pm?
flat cipher
ignore killa
mighty pulsar
use better guns?^^
flat cipher
learn loot routes on maps like interchange and reserve
solemn pike
Im not gonna lie. Killa used to scare me. He doesn't anymore.
cerulean cape
killa is one of easier scav bosses, but, hes not for a new player. just do tech runs if you want money on IC
mighty pulsar
im looking for ways to improve my survival rate, i die too often..
bold kernel
i just drop reserve with pm and rig and search duffel bags which get me money
flat cipher
killa is easy cause he gets stun locked if you shoot him too quickly
so he just kinda groans and turns around
solemn pike
You need a gun with high RPM to take him down 100%. I use the 74N.
deft kelp
anybody else having issues with the tarkov market site being down?
flat cipher
if you know how to kill him it's a breeze
solemn pike
.......He can, and often does, one tap you regardless of what armor youre wearing.
flat cipher
not if he gets stun locked
cerulean cape
ive got multiple kills w/ m9 when just pistol running, hes not hard, hes just not something that new players should do for money
solemn pike
If he sees you first he tends to kill you.
cerulean cape
if new players want money, they shouldnt be farming killa
they should be doing tech runs
deft kelp
Honestly IC is just a shitty map for new players
Shitty map in general
Lots of funky shadows and blind corners
solemn pike
Another thing that's been working pretty well for me is hitting The National, then going to Brutal,then Mantis, then the phone stores, then TTS and focusing on the jacket pockets.
solemn pike
I can get out in under 11m using that strategy.
deft kelp
It's just not a good map imo
solemn pike
Its my favorite map in the game.
deft kelp
I mean that's a personal preference thing then
solemn pike
No its not.
deft kelp
I avoid IC like the plague but I enjoy spamming reserve
solemn pike
I wanna learn Reserve. Its been a ton of fun every time ive done it.
deft kelp
If I don't like it and you do it's clearly personal preference lmao
solemn pike
It really feels like an end game map.
mighty pulsar
@deft kelp which keys do u have for reserve? which ones do i need?
deft kelp
@mighty pulsar I found mine, reserve keys tend to be 750k_
or more
but it depends
I have white king basement key
where you can find tank batts etc
and a key for white bishop i believe
mighty pulsar
have 17 mil rn, will probably blow at least 10 mil of it for bitcoin farm in the next few days tho
deft kelp
The thing with reserve is getting out is hard
unless you have a red rebel
so if you dont have a RR id get one before playing reserve
Ive actually started moving towards shoreline & customs more because of that
and just scavving reserve
but look up a key map
what id do is get all keys for one building
or marked room keys etc
so you can just do one building each time and not be running between for your rooms

dawn vapor
If you want to see nades rain if glucar spawn underground go there

@surreal karma bosses/raiders and bodyguards have aimbot with nades
pretty much
sometimes they suicide with their own nade though.
but they can throw a nade spot-on from far away.
scenic valley
Can I wear AVS or armored rigs at cliff descent
stone surge
yup
if you plan to do it, i would personally go for tv-110
rather than avs
repairs better and cheaper.
scenic valley
Yeah was just wondering if i would have to ditch the AVS just died to a scav from desync with like 500k of stuff

died to killa's silent grenades twice
if only there was some kind of audio queue for when a grenade is thrown at you.

im on 1070 ti
gpu is only at 70% as well
last time I checked it was 95
when it was fine
faint matrix
1080ti, i9 OC, m.2 and liquid cooled, i hardly hit 80% on gpu with everything maxed
1070ti shouldnt take a hit but, should still be good
rotund sand
I'm on 1080ti, I don't think I'm getting 90 FPS myself lol
regal plover
What resolutions do you play in?
rotund sand
2K for me
faint matrix
2560x1080 on ultrawide at 200hz
rotund sand
I'm at 144Hz, anything more is kind of a marketing bait
and people who say otherwise are just tricking themselves
faint matrix
well response time as well plays a big factor, if you can get higher hz and a lower ms then why wouldnt you
regal plover
144hz 2k seems to be the sweet spot. I have 60 Hz 4k and at that high resolution many games I play struggle to stay at 60 fps with my 1070
rotund sand
well, if you have a 4ms monitor, its pretty good
and if you buy one on the current market, it'll be 4 or less most probably
faint matrix
mine is 4ms :)
but, if i couldnt of gotten it for the price i paid, i wouldn't of paid full price
or paid for it / gotten it
rotund sand
anything less than 4 is also kind of a marketing tool
but anyways, for Tarkov, the actual issue is stutters
and even if I'm getting 80 FPS steady
it doesn't matter once I get a 2 second stutter
regal plover
After a point stutters aren't an issue that can be solved by user hardware
It's on BSGs end
rotund sand
yeah
faint matrix
running on a m.2 i get stutter lol
rotund sand
which makes the issue worse for us
anyone can get them
I forgot whose settings I copied, maybe mine are not optimal
need a recheck
regal plover
I need a new motherboard, cpu, and ram for my next upgrade. Expensive.
rotund sand
I'd love to get one, but its not really needed for gaming, nor anything else

i agree, but im in a spot where i can so i want to lol
plus you can run them stupidly OC with water cooling

well if you always run good ammo, I'd say you have enough money

LF someone who is highly experienced in eft to help me and generally show me the ropes of these maps and what not so i feel more comfortable running my tasks solo once i have a greater grasp on the maps and spawns and high traffic areas, i don't want someone to run the tasks with me and hold my hand and i tried it before and i felt babied i would preferably like to have someone to duo team up with for a while on several maps so i can learn them at a pace that isn't too slow or too full on but also allowing me to learn and get in on the fight also preferably OC/Australian Server. cheers

So what
fiery rover
Money is Not a goal
nocturne heart
so hideout is v hard to upgrade because a lot of quests i cant complete
to get skills etc
karmic garden
Massive agree with @fiery rover, having fun is the goal
fiery rover
Then Do the quest
This is a huge problem people tend to just Look how to make money without actually playing the game
tardy pond
Could always buy a red rebel for cliff descent on reserve and woods @nocturne heart
karmic garden
So many people in this game just seem to want to hoard money and gear and never actually play the game

This is my rat friends @karmic garden

no no dont get me wrong, i play the game super casually, working full time, i cant put tons of hours into the game

@rotund sand just being real π

Just saying
nocturne heart
most of the time i log in for an hour do like 2 scav runs and try to do a PMC quest but fail mostly at PMC quest
fiery rover
Then Do more pmc runs
rotund sand
quests are difficult
nocturne heart
i dont have enough map knowledge and i feel like if i do a full geared run and dont even know how to get around most maps then its kinda a waste you know
rotund sand
not everyone is a natural
nocturne heart
like scavs i do to learn maps most of the time
flat cipher
money dont do you good if you cant use it
fiery rover
Well learn the naps in offline mode
Scav does Not Really learn you the map like pmc runs
Because scavs are Not aggro and Extracts are different
shrewd steeple
i mean thats honestly not really true but ok
you still get oriented on the maps as scav lol
shrewd steeple
yeah
nocturne heart
tried reserve for the first time last week, done like 10 scav runs and know roughly where i am and where to go but still v difficult
fiery rover
Well Reserve is Not a Starter map
nocturne heart
with help of a map ofc

i mean ideally and i know a good player wouldnt want to pair up with a casual bot, but someone to teach me would b v good but its so rare to see that in lfg
rotund sand
people pair up with me here, as well, just gotta find some benevolent guy with lots of time to waste
nocturne heart
i feel like offline makes u too confident and you dont know the spots people can camp/hide in and you go running like a bot into areas which are high value
pros and cons
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
fiery rover
Thats Part of the learning process
nocturne heart
@rotund sand you tryna pair up 
shrewd steeple
wait until some low level new player asks to group in LFG and do runs with them
fiery rover
First you gotta learn your Extracts and scav spawns and then you can learn the rest
rotund sand
sometimes I do
I think I have 100% death ratio in customs when someone tried to help me with quests there though
shrewd steeple
feelsbatman
fiery rover
That sounds like a challenge @rotund sand
rotund sand
rofl, well, an indirect one, possibly
"no one can extract him in customs, can you do it? up for the task?"

You play oc Servers?

Just Not now havent had breakfast

gonna bring one nade with me just in case, then

To kill yoirself at the Extract or why XD

yeah its work time for me, technically, for several more hours
yeah that was the joke xD
well I ran around in customs offline enough to know where to go more or less
just need to get lucky and not run into anyone

one part I dislike is not being able to plan prior to spawn

not sure if killas guards are as good as the other guards in other maps but they are good for bots

doesn't he have an automatic weapon though or is that RNG

RPK is best weapon he can spawn in because high ammo count

Can i use any gun that has AKM in its name for Punisher part 1?

yeah thats why I thought that scav wasn't Killa, because he said he got one tapped p:
edgy phoenix
Can i use any gun that has AKM in its name for Punisher part 1?
rotund sand
according to wiki, yes: Enter the map Shoreline and search for and kill 15 Scavs whom can be found throughout the map while using an AKM series gun (AKM, AKMN, AKMS, AKMSN).

The vepr akm does Not count

what should i wear then
i have a bunch of lvl 2 armor lol i should save that for skiier quest

About Killa not going to idea, if he is hunting some player he can stray away from his patrol route very far
fiery rover
but why bring a helm if oyu don't have a armor
crimson trench
4+ good durability is quite expensive
fiery rover
na
fiery rover
6b5tm is ok or what its called (the armored rig
crimson trench
on armour
fiery rover
50k or so
rotund sand
only taking that ifak? need more meds 
fiery rover
painkillers at least
crimson trench
My teammate has all meds.
rotund sand
ah, then, yeah
fiery rover
if you can't afford armor don't bring a helm
crimson trench
CMS painkillers everything
fiery rover
helm <<<<<<< armor
rotund sand
yeah that helmet is expensive for the money you have at hand, I'd say
fiery rover
if you only have 120k i suggest going with a paca they are like 20k or so
armor should have 80-90% of its max dura
night trench
ive found armor even if just level 2 is specially useful against buckshots
rotund sand
armor can save you from scavs
fiery rover
scavs use high flesh low pen ammunition on their weapons so lvl 2 is enough against scavs but weak against players in general
crimson trench
Or should I buy armored rig?
night trench
Yeah I once survived like 8 shotgun blasts to the chest with level 2 armor
fiery rover
also if you strugle with money: sell the mk3
bring a scav vest
bring less mags and put spare ammunition in your pouch
rotund sand
I still only take one spare mag and die without ever refilling xD
night trench
Ive never had an engagement br longer than 2 mags
rotund sand
one day I want to run out of ammo during a raid
stone moss
If you go broke you can always reset if you are new.
fiery rover
thats also an option
fiery rover
ok
crimson trench
The medic
stone moss
Ah gotcha
rotund sand
lel
fiery rover
if you really have problems sustaining your money and didn't struggle to get to lvl 7 than i suggest a reset of your account lvl 7 can be done easily
stone moss
That or go hit interchange or reserve for loot.
west tree
How do you reset your account?
stone moss
And make it back.
crimson trench
I don't want to reset
fiery rover
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i78kqZUIdPX2nw-Yg9z-60labhxh_psZecXZOWhpBkU/edit?usp=sharing <- might help a newer player if he is into reading stuff
rotund sand
let me translate it as a noob: if you didn't finish more than 1 or 2 quests yet, reset it
stone moss
Log I to the website.
fiery rover
well he loses his skills as well so i can understand not wanting to do a reset
west tree
Well I have unlocked Jaeger so Im not going to reset.
fiery rover
well you but not him at lvl 7
west tree
I know.
stone moss
Is that why all the news are falling over themselves for a vss?
rotund sand
gotta admit, if I unlocked Jaeger, I'd not want to reset, either
crimson trench
If I do good run with scav I can get 100-200k
stone moss
Is that why all the newbs are falling over themselves for a vss?
fiery rover
what why? what is your reason or thought reason
rotund sand
maybe your guide?
fiery rover
na
crimson trench
Suggestion how to do mechanics quest for cheapest price.
fiery rover
i actually only inclued vss into the guide because so many people recommen dit^^
night trench
VSS is default ammo is armor piercing no?
fiery rover
i myself would not recommend a vss, but for many people its the go to weapon and they get aggrevated
crimson trench
Vss is good.
fiery rover
yes its good
fiery rover
but once 0.124 hits vss no more
crimson trench
I had it as scav and I have it till now.
rotund sand
but hey, I'm trash, I also dislike ADAR
fiery rover
because probably by the time most people hit lvl 15 they know their weapons they like and won't change it that much
rotund sand
which is loved by a lot of people
fiery rover
and before that its hard to get hands on a vss ^^
karmic garden
A recoil modded adar is great if you have fast CPS
But if you click slow then not so much
west tree
I like the FAL
stone moss
Just headshot the target.
crimson trench
AK74M is good when you are bad on money.
rotund sand
I don't want to use stock AKs due to recoil
crimson trench
This is what I use.
stone moss
Honestly... Best budget guns prob sks, vepr, pm, and kedr.
karmic garden
No butt pad @crimson trench?
crimson trench
karmic garden
@rotund sand they're such different guns though
fiery rover
put the cqb muzzle on it and the butt pad instead of the foregrib and b-10
stone moss
It's a good gun. I dumpster people in reserve with it. Lol
fiery rover
better recoil
karmic garden
I agree with @fiery rover
crimson trench
From snipers mosin or M700
karmic garden
Depends what you want to do with it
stone moss
Mosin is cheaper and still effective.
crimson trench
M700 with M61 is not bad and with silincer
fiery rover
depends
flat cipher
it has higher flesh, can one tap class 4 chest
fiery rover
if you go for headshots only long range go m61
fiery rover
and m80 is mostly 2shots to m4
fiery rover
sometimes yes
crimson trench
I see.
fiery rover
depends on the durability of the armor
flat cipher
crimson trench
I will probably sell all my M61s and buy M80
fiery rover
class 4 is not a guaranteed oneshot
karmic garden
Possible unpopular opinion: Use an SVD with SNB
fiery rover
most people seem to do it
crimson trench
Best ammo for VSS? I use SP-5s
west tree
How many slots does a Survival kit take up?
fiery rover
sp-5 is ok if you don't swim in money the "best" would be spp but it snot worth the money sp5 is good
karmic garden
@flat cipher some people got rather unhappy over an SVD recommendation last time. They were wrong.
crimson trench
So SP-5s thx-
fiery rover
yes because of the costs but in raw strength its better than sp6
karmic garden
I have a full ammo box of m995 I bought very early wipe. Wonder how long it'll take me to use up once I can play again
karmic garden
@fiery rover I have no need to
fiery rover
thats what i do, craft m995 then sell it and buy m855a1
karmic garden
I'd rather use it
fiery rover
i feel bad for the wasted money to shoot people with m995 π
karmic garden
I've been playing long enough that I can't bring myself to care about money
How much is AP SX nowadays?
karmic garden
It's my go to factory gun
crimson trench
I have skrill problems
fiery rover
?
crimson trench
Anybody can help
fiery rover
depends on the problem^^
karmic garden
As in money?
crimson trench
Well I want to add funds from my account but I cannot it says general error
karmic garden
What
crimson trench
I cannot add funds
rotund sand
are you trying to put roubles in your secure container?
fiery rover
what funds what do you fund?
karmic garden
Add funds to what
fiery rover
you mean skier?
fiery rover
so you wanna buy rouble with real money?
west tree
No.
fiery rover
sry i am confused^^
west tree
He wants to upgrade his EFT edition.
rotund sand
maybe #community-support has a person who is familiar with this system
fiery rover
then he is in the wrong section here^^
stone moss
Anyone else having issues with discord?
rotund sand
not currently
karmic garden
Yeah I can't see anything you're typing @stone moss
rotund sand
outages happen
fiery rover
had the happen to me the last 2 days in a row
rotund sand
last night I wasn't able to access while everyone else could
fiery rover
first time this week i can access this discord at this time π
night trench
sometimes I wish that eft showed the nickname of who killed you
but I guess it makes sense they dont since murder rates would grow up prolly
XD
karmic garden
It does tell you who killed you
fiery rover
first screen after a death
there is: "killername" killed you "your name"(part that was hit last like head, thorax ect.)
night trench
havent seen it
well
its time to see if they are streamers
to poop in their chat :P
night trench
I did once extract with worse loot and weapons than I had just for revenge
some guy camped me on the exit, they got killed by a scav
I grabbed everything the guy had and extracted
rotund sand
did you get stuff from insurance
karmic garden
@rotund sand do you play on Russian severs
night trench
nah I was scav
karmic garden
Oh lol
night trench
they were using a modded AK with silencer and laser and whatnot so I assumed it was good gear for them
rotund sand
more player scavs than AI, but I think I get offed by player scavs the most
what did you drop to grab that
rotund sand
how was that a net loss for you
night trench
m700 sold for more than that ak
night trench
30k on flea I think
rotund sand
depends on what the silencer is, I guess
night trench
40k on flea frame and other mods
rotund sand
but if it had a grip or something
night trench
m700 was like 80-100k on flea when I checked
karmic garden
@night trench this is where it shows you (not my pic) https://i.imgur.com/pUz04Ap.jpg
rotund sand
you can get one around 30k-40k range, at least this was the price point 3-4 days ago
night trench
this was like 2 weeks ago
mightve been bad moment but I think cheapest was 60k but after 2-3 offers ut was 80k
and first three offers can never get
because always sold out
xD
stone moss
Popularity
rotund sand
but from scanning it the last week, M700 is generally at Mosin price or close
rotund sand
I'm the last person to talk about a sniper rifle's value
rotund sand
they both have expensive ammo available
rotund sand
I'd assume they both require you to not suck
based on my one raid experience with M700 p:
night trench
ive tried in offline and 1 succesful pmc raid
fiery rover
M700 is "easier" because of the higher ergonomic
mosin is for the tarkov shooters π
night trench
I bought the max zoom optic because it was cheap, bad decission
that thing zooms waaaay outside my render zone
fiery rover
xD
rotund sand
M700 + Burris is cheap and fine
night trench
its like you see a guy the size of the whole optic when he is 1km away
night trench
I think its 24x46 or something like that
night trench
I think mosin ammo while more expensive on flea is actually easier to get because scavs spawn with mosin more common
fiery rover
indeed
stone moss
Depends what you are doing. I use almost exclusively 7n1
night trench
yeah I remember shooting a guy that was on top of the rock above the shoreline bunker behind the admin building
stone moss
But smb is all over the place
night trench
I was in the drone
rotund sand
SNB is like BT on reserve, can find lots
night trench
the guy was like filling like 80% of the optic
solemn pike
Should I use the Mp7a1 or Mp7a2?
flat cipher
theyre the same
solemn pike
really?
flat cipher
ya
stone moss
More or less
fiery rover
the golden has (think the a2 version) lets you put a foregrip of your choice on it
besides that they are the same
solemn pike
hey Harry you think youre a lot smarter than me with this game! Do you agree with my assessment that the only especially viable guns in the game are the 416,M4, P90 and 74N?
fiery rover
no
cold brook
what are good bullets for akm?
fiery rover
BP
cold brook
cheaper ones
fiery rover
you don't have much choice with akms its either PS or BP
cold brook
ok
stone moss
BP or PS otherwise don't use it.
fiery rover
there is no BS for akm tough
cold brook
what attachment to get a sight on akm?
fiery rover
depends
tt-01 rearsight
or some can holster a cobra or b-13 mount
the akmn variants if i remember
cold brook
what attachment do i need to put a sight on it=
fiery rover
?
the TT01 rearsight weaver adapter
would be an example what you need for smaller sights
jade shadow
based or naw
flat cipher
@solemn pike p90 aint meta at all
fiery rover
or change the receiver aka dust cover
solemn pike
but people run p90 in labs hence its viable!
fiery rover
PDC, TWS and zenit b-33
flat cipher
just cause people run it doesnt mean its meta
jade shadow
p90 is fun
flat cipher
cause 5.7 sucks
solemn pike
I didnt say it was meta. I said its viable.
flat cipher
every gun is viable
fiery rover
more or less
but most people either use m4 or ak74 at least those are the ones i find
if they use a fullauto at all
solemn pike
I mean, okay, but if you have a TT and I have an M4, I have a decisive firepower advantage. Unless you see me first im gonna win 99.999% of the time, and im hot garbage at this game. I can just spray you.
night trench
do people use tracers in anything that isnt an LMG?
fiery rover
grizzly is fine but what do oyu wanna do is the question
flat cipher
ap20
fiery rover
just scav hunting grizzly i sok
jade shadow
ap20 is too expensive
stone moss
Everything is situational with firefights.
