because someone told me to sell my m4

hidden mortar
Really? M4 is a good gun
hidden mortar
Well I'm going for a cig then I'll be scavving. Either of you two want to join?
That's called gear fear
lapis mauve
yes
lapis mauve
although if you are low level is might be better to sell expensive stuff and buy budget stuff instead
vital mortar
Ye gear fear is bad, will make you not take proper stuff out, and when you do, you are so anxious that you make major mistakes
but it will go away after some time
hidden mortar
RC is right... The best way to get over it is to either use it and lose it, or sell it
Otherwise it just takes up space in your stash
@magic pumice I'll be doing a raid with AWP shortly if you want to join
magic pumice
im down
vital mortar
everyone gets over gear fear differently, seen people who has played for 2-3 months and still afraid of taking a simple thing like a unmodded ak
hidden mortar
I know someone who will only take out adars with no attachments
Because they're so low cost that if he dies he loses nothing
magic pumice
adars?
vital mortar
Adar-15
hidden mortar
It's a gun
magic pumice
ah ok
hidden mortar
Single fire, uses decent ammo
magic pumice
makes sense
vital mortar
can be modded to a beast
hidden mortar
At that point though you're better off taking an M4 though Lord
Pick a map chaos and AWP. As long as it isn't woods I'll take you through a run

How soon should a fng start to build the hideout?
vital mortar
Are you asking when you should start building the hideout? if yes. Start doing it if you feel like you want something from there
as higher tier will take hours to days to finish

Dude hardcore parkour

is there any vendor one should prioritize leveling up/spending money with? i favor the mp5 stuff
so is peacekeeper good to keep spending money at, or just do prapor first?
undone blade
If you are looking for the most cash, sell to Therapist first. Whatever she doesn't buy, sell to Skier, then to Mechanic. You can sell to Peacekeeper instead of Mechanic if you need US Dollars for stuff.
If you are selling weapons, right click and select Disassemble, then sell the pieces to Skier first, then Mechanic to get more cash from it. Pieces can sell better than the whole weapon to the traders.
And if you want free MP5s, make sure to collect the brown handle knives, usually on Scavs. You can trade 8 of those for an MP5 from Peacekeeper
regal plover
final glade
is there a tier list of sorts for guns?
flat cipher
doesnt really work like that in this game
Most guns are good, it all boils down the the ammo used
undone blade
Just depends on your style of play as to what works best for you
jovial starBOT
final glade
i have this graph thing for ammo, i guess i just don't know what guns i should keep and w hat i shouldnt
so far im mostly loving m4 m1a and sks
regal plover
Good guns. Most people stop using the SKS once they start getting access to the 5.56 auto and the bigger 7.62 bullet guns
final glade
mostly because those are the guns my friends helped me build lol, i'm definitely having trouble learning the gun building systems
regal plover
True. Fuck the Toz.
hearty crane
I kinda need general fighting help, maybe other help too. I know some things but still want to learn more things.
final glade
i kinda wanna stop using the sks because bp is so much more expensive than m80, but m1 is also more expensive than sks to get similar results lol
flat cipher
Use a cheap FAL
final glade
could try that yeah
flat cipher
has that full auto option
final glade
i have an sks that i can make for like 130kish and i have an m1a that i make for ike 300k lol
the m1a is much better but to get similar stats to sks it's just so expensive haha
flat cipher
dont bother with the sks, use a vepr km instead
it can be modded like a meta ak, so it has a lot of room
but uses the same ammo, is also single fire, but can get up to 50rd mags
also the vepr km is 16k on its own
olive turret
vepr with bp is pretty deadly ngl
raw vault
scary
olive turret
545 is nice and its what ive been mostly using but i havent really touched 762 and i've been enjoying 762 and its helping with my aim since vepr km is single fire
sonic lake
my aim is so good when I use the vepr
and then I use any auto gun and I forget all of it
olive turret
^^^
sonic lake
I can no longer hit headshots and resort to spraying lmao
olive turret
i use vepr and i tap heads for days then i use an auto gun and its like my hand is a magnet towards shooting arms and legs
sonic lake
fr tho I be hitting flicks and long range headshots with just a pk06 on an ultimak, then I use a built AKM with a scope and I can't hit shit
bold kernel
Me with any other gun besides the SKS/Vepr
sonic lake
I love the veprs, 215, 136, 209, even the hunter but just a little less than the others
bold kernel
Do veprs count towards assault rifle exp?
sonic lake
yes
bold kernel
Because if so I'd love to not have my PMC looking at the ceiling when using full auto AKs
bold kernel
Yeah
Got that flea market finally~ so modding is not impossible outside of finding stuff in raid
sonic lake
unless youre rolling in cash, you should really still be using 136s, AKMS, hunters, mosins and shit
bold kernel
Well at one point I was around 2mil (been primarily focused on making money) but I'm struggling with the game's gunplay
white forge
Whats the raid time for customs?
sonic lake
yeah youre still in vepr territory
bold kernel
I've lost... about 800k after upgrading my hideout to level 2 stuff, buying loadouts and dying, etc.
sonic lake
idk why people focus so much on hideout
bold kernel
I've gotten some use out of it not gonna lie. It also gives me something to work towards
bold kernel
I'm also lucky that flea market access isn't level 15
lament marlin
Brand spanking new to the game. I’m talking I have had this game for like 3 days. I love it! But like most people at first, I suck royally
olive turret
its my first wipe and i focused on hideout a lot it gave me a goal but at the same time it kinda made me waste money rather than invest in loadouts to get me better at pvp ngl fully upgraded hideout now is really nice
sonic lake
goal shoudl really be to get good and do quests
olive turret
quests was also a goal but i used it mostly for kappa and to learn the mechanics
7-8 more for kappa now
sonic lake
I only spent money on hideout when I could and was bored with everything else and when I had like a surplus of money
like ive played patches without hideout I dont need it now lmao
and the half "useful" stuff is more of a gamble or seemingly futile investment
olive turret
i dont need it but its nice logging in and getting half a mill to a mill at the start of my session
olive turret
its not really worth it going into a raid to find weapon parts its more efficient to level up for flea and buy the parts

does anyone know decent bullets for the ak74n?
bold kernel
BS
raw vault
thanks
i killed someone and took their ak and the mags had this bullet called like 7N39
olive turret
nice
bold kernel
They're pricier, but not as expensive as 7n39 igolnik. if you're on a tight budget though BT is okay i guess, just don't expect to kill thicc bois with it
7n39 > bs > bt
bold kernel
if you want cheap ammo, kit out an AKM and get BP ammo, dirt cheap
has ~49 pen i think too
olive turret
idk igolnik always seems overkill bs is pretty nice
bold kernel
BS will kill people in L5 crap iirc. You'll still kill L6 players too, just not as fast
Any under level 10s need a helping hand?

igolnik is pretty cool tho it shred this slick in a few shots

Which things specifically in hideout
olive turret
vendors sell bs but only if you have lvl 4 prapor
bold kernel
i think there's a stash object in hideout you can upgrade
prisma stirrup
Okay thx

dont ask me how, i have EOD
olive turret
i dont know any of the stash upgrades because of eod
raw vault
thats like over 3 mil worth isnt it?

anyways can anyone tell me like the exact name of bs ammo then lmao because i dont have any
olive turret
its literally it's caliber followed by bs
bold kernel
just search 5.45x39 and look for BS in the list
olive turret
its like 545 39 not sure how its formatted
raw vault
right thanks

you can also linked search a mag for its ammo

usually link people this one when they ask me

wtf is that 4.6 lmao
also outdated, and doesn't explain the little things such as why SNB is a better bet for SVDS.

@sonic lake k what’s wrong with 7n1 in an SVD?
reef spoke
I mean I don't have issues with it. Just gotta know your limits
spice pecan
@dire rock there isn't anything wrong with 7N1
reef spoke
Bp 9x39 is great if you actually use the vss as a DMR
silver hornet
@dire rock there's nothing wrong with using 7N1 in an SVD, but you can use SNB in it's place
dire rock
Snb doesnt one shot to the thorax
spice pecan
@dire rock you would be trading pen (7N1 pens up to tier 4), while SNB and 7N37 both pen Tier 6.
silver hornet
The philosophy is that you would always want to use 7N1 in a Mosin because the Mosin is a slow rifle
And you want to make that first shot count
dire rock
unless your sniping snails getting 2 thorax shots usually isnt probable
silver hornet
But in the SVD, a semi-auto rifle with a 10/20 round magazine, you can get away with using SNB

What keys?
hexed sky
2 cabin, one checkpoint, one rb-smp
spice pecan
Now if you had said you had keys, understandable. I usually have https://tarkov-market.com/ up on the side to check prices to see if it is worth dipping or staying in
That checkpoint key is worth a fair bit
hexed sky
on the flea market you mean?
spice pecan
You should be able to sell that one to Therapist for the same price
should be around 180k last I checked

nice, i'm a broke boi so anything helps
silver hornet
RB-SMP is worth around 100k I think
hexed sky
to therapist checkpoint is 184k and rb-smp is worth 375

when you're scrub trash are you better off selling these keys for buying kits than trying to use these?

@spare pelican i played this game enough to know paca is shit and i dont die from scavs unles they tank 5shotsi n thorax
sonic lake
@dire rock 7n1 struggles against higher class armor, it takes up to 3 shots to down class 5 and 5 shots to down class 6. Due to how cheap slicks are a lot of people are running it. with SNB its always a 2 tap no matter what armor. Because its semi follow up shots are easier than in a mosin.
SVDs are by default zero'd for 7n1. SNB is the same velocity as 7n1 so it should have the same travel time and drop.
snb is also way cheaper

hexed sky
@hexed sky how many rubles are you at?
@spice pecan about 450k after selling the keys and such, haven’t done any base upgrades really
And almost level 5, flex
spice pecan
Noice my dude
raven gazelle
im actually so fed up of this game the amount if times ive dies because of this stupid freezing
dire rock
@sonic lake 200k armor aint cheap and i have yet to see someone running slick armor in any of my games so i prefer running a roundf that can one tap lvl 4 which is most common
sonic lake
200k for level 6 is dirt cheap
shit has virtually infinite uses, unlike the other class 6 armors
onyx wraith
You'd see the people running class 6 if you actually managed to ever kill them
sonic lake
the most common class 4 isn't even always a 1tap with 7n1
6b3tms can tank a shot of 7n1
You'd see the people running class 6 if you actually managed to ever kill them
also yeah lol
spice pecan
@sonic lake It's a difference in perspective. While we might not think 200k is all that much for some armor, to newer people that might be all the money they have
onyx wraith
Of course.
sonic lake
yeah, but any high class player, the ones you want to down, can afford it and do use it. its literally the best armor in game.
onyx wraith
But for class 6, no matter how you look at it, it's almost too cheap
sonic lake
why limit your killing ability? its better to be able to kill anyone efficiently in any situation than not.
spice pecan
It is pretty dope, ive used it a bunch here recently. does work as long as you arent getting hit in the stomach
sonic lake
thoraxing people from the front isn't even very reliable, as arms take a lot of shots.
onyx wraith
It works even better if you get shot in the stomach, cause that means your armor is untouched and you can just Surv kit your stomach
spice pecan
Leg meta is real
sonic lake
leg meta is done for when their legs are behind cover
spice pecan
fair point
sonic lake
leg meta is situational, and I personally would rather have the ability to down anyone in any situation
onyx wraith
Leg meta obviously best cause I saw Worrun kill Landmark with an MP9-N and RIP ammo while Landmark had the meta Juice Cannon /s
sonic lake
idk 2 shots of SNB even costs the same as one shot of 7n1 lmao
spice pecan
Fair enough, I had glossed over the part where they were talking about in an SVD
I usually run 7N37 in mine, but I dont Im not even positive if that is a guaranteed 2 tap
I just know it will pen any helmet, which is why I use it
sonic lake
7n37 is kinda pointless. same as snb
spice pecan
I think it is a hair less damage, higher pen chance on first shot
onyx wraith
SNB is easily the best for an SVDS
sonic lake
SNB is actually better for the SVDS since its ballistic performance is the same as 7n1 (same velocity) SVDS is zero'd for 7n1 sooooo your zeroing should be dead on with SNB.
iirc 7n37 is like 100ms slower than SNB thats huge lmao
spice pecan
Outside of about 400m I dont have too much of an issue zeroing and leading my shots
but just because im used to it
sonic lake
yee thats fair
7n37 is 1200roubles a round wtf lmao
its literally just a slower snb with way too high pen 😂
spice pecan
only a taaad bit over priced lol
sonic lake
just a little
spice pecan
Ive looted all the rounds ive used
sonic lake
only a small amount
spice pecan
Not an SVD type guy. But second story black knight spawns all kinds of good ammo
sonic lake
early wipe I paid no money for ammo lmao
id just run into reserve, get 400 rounds of BT and dip ready for next raid
supple nest
I have a question regarding a weapon I dropped in raid, I'm wondering wether I should sell it on the flea market once I'm lvl 10 or disasemble & sell to the traders. What would be the best option for a SV-98 ?
dire rock
its about 23k on flea rn so id say keep it till you get flea and throw an optic on it
supple nest
There's already a TAC 30 on it
dire rock
ight then use it as a sniper, but if you do want to sell it id say traders are your best bet since 23k isnt much
idk about a tac 30 though let me look that up
supple nest
Alright, thanks !
dire rock
20k
supple nest
So far running around with an sks does enough the job and I'm too crap at handling weapons at long range for the moment that I'd end up dying from it
dire rock
sks is fun
supple nest
I can go against lvl 4 armor with a chance to survive at least

yeah just try to stay at range since it gets overpowered by full auto at close

@magic urchin you can also over penetrate limbs (arm-chest-arm, left leg-right leg )

@lapis mauve I'm guessing recoil is the main thing that separates the 103 from the 104?
serene gust
Inspect them?
lapis mauve
yep, stock 104 has a little better ergo and 103 has a little better recoil
104 is shorter
103 you can mod to be better recoil and ergo

i'm modding a gun exactly like this site says but it's just not working

thats my gun

anyone got room for me??

see if you can pull out something not impacting required stats to reduce the weight
vital mortar
Silencerco Hybrid 46 silencer weights less than the one you're using
vital mortar
The key? buy it, that's what most of us did
final glade
i did the silencero thing touch, i think they mustbve changed the weight of those items or something
i tried everything
the silencero worked
vagrant cargo
@vital mortar no i mean how do I even get in here before the pistol guys and hatchlings and squads
vital mortar
Don't turn on the power as the room requires power. Wipe out everybody else, hatchlings will die early, if you can't wipe out people, make sure they can't turn on power
if you Spawn on Oli side and somebody turns on power, then rush in, no time to creep
vagrant cargo
@vital mortar yeah but wiping everyone out ain’t that ready
Easy
Especially when you got thicc squads
vital mortar
Depends, expect most to go for Ultra, they will wipe each other out and you can finish the rest, quite a lot of rats too. they will stay away same with hatchling. The remaining will be people going for Killa
vital mortar
If you're at ultra first and nobody else made it, find a spot to take out people approaching and where you can relocate quick
vagrant cargo
Ight then
I’ll try it
I’m not really confident in my killing abilities tho
Don’t think I’ll really be wiping squads
@vital mortar do you run for this room often ?
vital mortar
two week ago ye, now i just play labs
vagrant cargo
Yeah I would just die on labs

Hey guys, do you guys know what happen when there is a '' wipe '' ? Like, does everything get deleted ? What about reputation with traders ? What about our market rep ? And does the story quest change/reset ?

@strong jolt dehydration also gives tremor but it can lower health so be careful i chugged some condensed milks but you can get a friend to shoot your arm to fracture it and get tremors

if you stay dehydrated it'll stay

wraith beacon
is reserve good for a lvl 10
olive turret
if you dont have an rr and want to run reserve go sewer manhole extract and take a big rig you cant take a backpack there. Hermetic is kinda risky for new players but reserve has crazy good loot scavving and going pmc there gave me a good bit of roubles
@wraith beacon

@wraith beacon one of the best money map IMO. Earned my 100 mil almost exclusively from Reserve scav runs )))
but you need to know it very well and be really carefull... as always )

For some reason it takes the longest to load into that map
Up to 12 minutes

Its terribly optimized

reserve is the best way to make money in my opinion if you can get the boss or raiders its a really good map, not only that but plenty of other good drops like graphics cards, dry fuel etc

Money is not indicative of your status in-game; I've played just over 3 months which I would consider a beginner amount of time for a game as complex as this

I have a question regarding insurance. Say, I insure a backpack, then find loot and store it in backpack. if I then hide that backpack well enough, during the insurance return, will I receive the backpack with all of the loot in it, or just the backpack? Because sometimes I get backpacks returned with items in it, and it confuses me.
sharp cave
Just the backpack
small orbit
just the backpack
sharp cave
Unless you have insured items inside the backpack
nocturne lichen
Ohhh
sharp cave
Then you recieved those insured items back also inside the backpack
small orbit
they will stay in the backpack as well
nocturne lichen
Gotcha, thanks!!
small orbit
so like insured mags stay in ur backpack
nocturne lichen
What if I drop and item that was insured and pick it back up? Sometimes the symbol for the insurance has disappeared on that item.
An item*
small orbit
that might be a glitch then
items stay insured untill you get them back from insurance
so you can drop it 100 times and pick it up
it stays insured
