#

as i pressed it and nothing happened

olive turret
#

no but sometimes its weird if you pressed f after moving

#

i just stand near it when the prompt comes up i press f a few times

sonic lake
#

sometimes it only takes a perfect stack of 7000

#

idk

#

make sure it wasn't used for insurance

#

lol

worldly citrus
#

i killed 2 dudes and had good loot but 7 min on the clock, i took like 3 min and the boat wasn't there, rip.. had 9k roubles

olive turret
worldly citrus
#

yes

olive turret
#

thats weird then i used the extract earlier and it was fine might have been bugged for you

worldly citrus
#

it said i need 7k roubles, like i didn't have them or something.. maybe it just prompted that i need to transfer that's it, not sure how it works

sonic lake
#

sometimes it only takes a perfect stack of 7000

olive turret
#

does it? i havent had a problem and i keep a weird amount of roubles on me

sonic lake
#

I have it sometimes

olive turret
#

it might just be that i havent encountered that bug

sonic lake
#

I gotta go to inventory and separate out 7k lmao

worldly citrus
#

my first time, maybe i did it wrong or something, probably was moving around too..

olive turret
#

just try it in offline mode to learn it or see if its bugged for you you wont lose the roubles or any gear

tawny pulsar
#

i only have one spot in my alpha container and want something that can let me run if i have broken legs. does that exist? I know a CMS is 2 slots and can repair limbs but i dont have the room

sonic lake
#

painkillers

#

they let you run on broke legs

#

that was the old way, keep vaseline, ibuprofen, golderstar

tawny pulsar
#

so the cheap analgin painkillers work.

sonic lake
#

yea

tawny pulsar
#

whats better about vaseline, ibuprofen and goldenstar

fathom narwhal
#

duration if i am correct

#

and also some other stats

tawny pulsar
#

can i take painkillers twice in a row if i didnt make it to extract fast enough?

fathom narwhal
#

yea

#

just remember that painkillers cost 7 hydration

tawny pulsar
#

thats fine. im trying to do therapist scav box trade in. So im going to be on factory anyway.

fathom narwhal
#

a

#

good luck my friend

tawny pulsar
#

thanks itll take a lot of time it sounds like

sonic lake
#

dont take twice in a row

#

you'll only be wasting a use

fathom narwhal
#

o yea

sonic lake
#

take it again once you run out

fathom narwhal
#

it doesnt increase the duration

#

just reset the duration

crimson wadi
#

Just got a shooting range built does firing weapons at it waste any ammo?

sonic lake
#

nop

crimson wadi
#

That's grand thanks

u have to stand still @olive turret

@bold kernel Might have tagged the wrong person i told him he had to not move tho too

#

Take me by the hand, take me to the land, that you understand

lapis tangle
#

Honestly, given my usual track record with iron sights on any and all guns

#

I'm pretty proud of that shot. Only took three rounds to floor him.

#

Correction, took one, damn, others missed?

strong jolt
#

Is there any night vision that doesn't go in the helmet slot? Wanna do this stupid Setup quest at night and I have to wear a ushanka

bold kernel
#

Guys ! Nvidia uses freestyle , What should i use for the same feautures for Radeon ?

#

and is it legal

wraith sigil
#

@strong jolt You can either use the NSPU-M dovetail NV scope that kinda sucks or the Vulcan(i think that's the name) NV scope if ya don't want a NVG that goes in the helmet slot

#

Both have a considerable amount of zoom

strong jolt
#

yeah I was looking into the vulcan, what base do I need? trying to put it on this 153

lapis tangle
#

@wraith sigil How far do you think that shot was?

wraith sigil
#

Around 100m~

#

@strong jolt You need the armasight universal base

#

Also i'm not sure about the vulcan but every single sight that isn't in the collimator category that i have put on 153s are terrible

#

Since your face sits further away from the gun compared to other rifles you won't see much

strong jolt
#

is it possible it just can't go on a 153? I'm trying to fit it on here just to see if it's feasible

#

I have the universal base

#

but what does htat go onto

wraith sigil
#

just a sec i'm not too sure either, only used that scope once tbh

#

Now that i see it, i don't think it goes onto the 153 SPRM mount

strong jolt
#

seem,s like it only takes the SPRM

#

yeah it looks like it probably doesn't fit

#

oh well

#

GFDI. Cliff extract campers are poison.

wintry cloak
#

anyone wanna play? pretty new to the game

cyan tinsel
#

did anyone just meet a friendly bear pmc on reserve? i was a hatchet boi

naive atlas
#

Which hatchets are not friendly

cyan tinsel
#

i met a pistol usec on reserve and he opened doors for me and we killed some scavs. i eventually died and i wanted to find him lol

mighty patrol
#

you got pretty lucky, most people just kos

cyan tinsel
#

i know :[

naive atlas
#

Especially hatchlings

cyan tinsel
#

i give my friends stuff when they don't kos. i usually hand over a paracord or sugar or something.

naive atlas
#

They ruin reserve tbh

#

Just run to all the loot and die

#

Rinse and repeat

mighty patrol
#

as if thats the only issue

#

halve of them just sniping for 30 mins

cyan tinsel
#

i just like to go scav hunting

mighty patrol
#

scav hunting?

cyan tinsel
#

idk i just cruise around in the open and shoot at scavs/raiders

#

i don't bother running loot spots

naive atlas
#

With your hatchet ?

cyan tinsel
#

it's the challenge

#

i get kind of bored of just taking gear in and plinking unarmored scavs

mighty patrol
#

he shoots with a hatchet

naive atlas
#

Ahh the 0 to hero reason

cyan tinsel
#

it's entertaining. i don't bother taking any keys for marked room or anything. i just like the gunfights lol

mighty patrol
#

I dont know much about reserve looting spots anyway

#

usually try to loot a building if im close or look for some raiders before getting sniped from 5 directions

cyan tinsel
#

i do the same thing on interchange. grab whatever shitty gun, no armor and run laps around the mall until i kill some scavs

exotic portal
#

Please help, i dont know where to get started on how to get good or get loot

#

all i know is factory

naive atlas
#

Follow the quests

mighty patrol
#

why do people even start factory

rough comet
#

who was the guy that showed me a loot route in interchange?

#

are they here

graceful blaze
#

@mighty patrol because in game it says the difficulty is a breeze

#

With not actually game knowledge that sounds fun

cyan tinsel
#

it also lists customs as normal, lol

mild trail
#

just wondering if anyone could show me a loot run in interchange kind of new and would like to learn the map

winter cargo
#

does Tushonka have a different name in the fleamarket?

graceful blaze
#

Not sure

olive turret
#

@winter cargo its either Tushonka or Can of beef stew there are two different cans one small and flat and one thats longer like a normal can

winter cargo
#

aight thanks

next seal
#

anyone know where's the new spawn points for Killa?

#

it seems that he doesn't spawn in mantis/generic/viking anymore

fickle kettle
#

@mighty patrol pretty sure because they see the difficulty of the map

olive turret
#

I killed him for a quest a few hours ago and he spawns near mantis or hangs out near kiba

#

Spawn rate can be iffy I went 10+ raids without seeing him then 4+ in a row

What is a sherpa?

olive turret
#

they guide new players in various ways

#

there are also give aways for people under level 30

toxic oar
#

sherpa is sheep herder. guide us sheep and show us the way

#

or they just protect us as we do stupid stuff

tepid fossil
#

That’s a good way of explaining how sherpa’s work

exotic jungle
#

hey guys

#

is it really safer to extract from interchange later than earlier?

#

or is it just me

toxic oar
#

here is an easier to understand chart on bullets

sonic lake
#

or use !ammo

#

!ammo

jovial starBOT
sonic lake
#

that ez ammo chart is just flat out wrong rn

toxic oar
#

oh nvm then

#

i dont like using the one on eft

#

hard to understand

sonic lake
#

the NFAM one is up to date

#

just not the "EZ AMMO CHART"

#

also that nfam link is dead

#

lmao

toxic oar
#

damn

bold kernel
#

@exotic jungle considering more ppl are dead by the end of a raid... yes

sonic lake
#

too much traffic killed it

bold kernel
#

There are a number of links and backup links on ballistics pinned

sonic lake
#

yees but wiki always up

exotic jungle
#

isn't it also that people tend to do quick money runs? so everybody extracts between 8-15mn after the beginning?

bold kernel
#

wiki is a mess for me. chart links are cleaner atm

#

@exotic jungle Well if people want to get out alive with something asap... more player scavs spawn over time... putting your loot at risk...

sonic lake
bold kernel
#

but if I am comfy sniping... I can happily wait for the dead to pile

#

and yea wiki don't load that way for me lately

magic urchin
#

What’s a good round for 5.45x39

sonic lake
#

@ orbb and muha mrt dont like your wiki

bold kernel
#

not gonna bother troubleshooting it

sonic lake
#

BS and igolnik best

magic urchin
#

I have a box of igolnik

exotic jungle
#

I didn't see it that way, I thought it would be safer to wait it out bcs of the higher chance of getting killed @ extract

#

thank you

tepid fossil
#

BS if you want to destroy their armor and be a popoohead about and not pick it up or igolnik if you want to overpen and take it

magic urchin
#

How much for bs igolnik is like 1k a bullet

sonic lake
#

900 for BS

bold kernel
#

Well since others could be rushing exteact early you might meet ppl anyway... more so if you snipe killa on me I might wait for you at exit for revenge... it can go alot of ways

exotic jungle
#

Tbh I find spawns

#

way harder than extracts on interchange as long as I wait it out

magic urchin
#

Wtf is superwater

bold kernel
#

@magic urchin If your picky about price you might need a different bullet... armour pen isn't great to cheap out on against players

exotic jungle
#

to avoid snipers I try to extract going through lengthy paths (like running to emercom through the hole in the wall on the east of the map, then the trees while scouting)

#

but I think that's just another way to extract later

bold kernel
#

I just keep strong cover and good stamina... if a fight happens then improvise

exotic jungle
#

it didn't really change my kill rate, although now I see PMCs running away 😄

#

there is no fight, one shot snipers man

#

they suddenly disappear @30-27mn mark let's say

bold kernel
#

well snipers are another game... if ur caught out... u didnt spot em... if you know they are there. try another exit

exotic jungle
#

ty

bold kernel
#

I tend to minimize my losses and max profits anyway I can anyway... death is just inconvient

#

I kill a guy. I switch kits. insirance returns gear for almost frer

exotic jungle
#

does insurance work when you survive?

#

nice tip

bold kernel
#

It works for anything left in raid unlooted and valid for insurance?

#

so guns and armour mainly

#

and secure anything that profits... switch spare meds out for high value loot... dry fuel... fuel conditioner... stuff that will pay for anything I switch out

#

I have been running interchange with pm and rushing to check for killa. made 3mil in stash past two days

exotic jungle
#

how do you get to 10, 20, 30... mils? just running interchange for hours?

bold kernel
#

minimize losses... pick up easy loot stashes... or money farm

exotic jungle
#

I'm doing that too atm, but i'm "only" @3-4M

bold kernel
#

intel on reserve is nice money

tame umbra
#

if any newer players or people still learning wanna play some raids lmk and i can help out

bold kernel
#

oh you mean 10mil at a time? idk bout that... weight system kinda knee capped all the thicc case looting scheems

exotic jungle
#

oh you mean 10mil at a time

nah not at a time

bold kernel
#

Then what I said still applies... maybe a little playing the flea market or collecting bitcoins in hideout speed it.up

exotic jungle
#

I just wanted to know if guys who I cross with 800k ru loadouts on interchange made fortune on this map

bold kernel
#

youtube has other more active money farms

exotic jungle
#

or if there's another magic trick that makes you win even more, like the folders run on reserve you were talking about

bold kernel
#

idk about a fortune.... farming killa.might pay a bit... but some ppl just get better luck n game.performance

exotic jungle
#

ok so if I understand well, after grinding idea/oli, next level = interchange boss + pvp-ing on second floor + labs

bold kernel
#

I say my main trick is just minimizing my losses... my pm runs lately are like 20k a run and still return ~100-200k a run if I extract with someones kit n random loot

exotic jungle
#

and getting better to extract with more modded vss

#

ok I see

#

I've been targeting oli

#

I got a feeling that nobody goes there

bold kernel
#

oli has alot of scavs amd combat... maybe secure gas cans cuz I can turn them into mag boxes for 300k... but fully expect to die

exotic jungle
#

so where do you go?

toxic oar
#

scav boss likes to spawn there oli i think

#

i like doing shoreline runs sometimes if you want a leisure run

bold kernel
#

My task has just been killa and cloth shops... if money... reserve for intel I feel can be better... tech shops for interchange can get graphics card. another big combat area

#

research your loot and go for it...

exotic jungle
#

water filters 2 slots, some weird rubberbands 1 slot, gas bottle 4 slots... all of them @40k a slot

toxic oar
#

i need to start small again, im broke from being stupid

bold kernel
#

Oli is good loot. Just expect.combar aswell...

#

couple early spawns there... late game U sometimes go through there

exotic jungle
#

and so you think it's better to fight the scav boss?

toxic oar
#

i feel you need to be mid/big boi it do a good inter run

cloud quarry
#

Nah

bold kernel
#

I'm saying scav boss is my. TASK... I am 40 mil up. I don't need money. It just builds with cheap kits can careful play

cloud quarry
#

Only thing that matters is the spawn

exotic jungle
#

I play with friends we do quests, so I'm funding for HK416s, mods, armors, keys etc etc

bold kernel
#

You can try runnin with some sherpas. I tend to pass over loot just to get at my task.

exotic jungle
#

Only thing that matters is the spawn

I'm often getting wrecked on spawn even by being careful

#

there's a dynamic behind it

bold kernel
#

start of every raid starts with spawn clearing... it'a better.... but still prevails... gotta be careful

sonic lake
#

your spawn can determine what loot you get, if you get insta-capped at raid start etc

exotic jungle
#

sometimes I wonder if it's not better to wait out on some fkd up spawns

bold kernel
#

anyway... gtg. keep workin at it. Profits can always been earned in the lessons we learn upon death

sonic lake
#

that aint a bad call sometimes

exotic jungle
#

gg

sonic lake
#

wait it out, and catch the person checking your spawn or something

exotic jungle
#

i feel you need to be mid/big boi it do a good inter run

@toxic oar you can go to interchange as long as you know how to fight back scavs and mid range

sonic lake
#

I know theres a shoreline spawn I always catch people with their pants down on. In the swamp theres a spawn next to a house. People usually check the house, and while they do that you can post up right outside the door and shoot them as they come out.

exotic jungle
#

you can go with a klin if you want

#

I've read someone doing that too spyder IDK where

#

I think it's something known

#

I've only ran shoreline 3-4 times idk what to think about it

sonic lake
#

I dont know callouts but whenever I spawn near that house spawn I always post up outside of it. Have killed many thiccs due to it.

#

because of all the trees and shit they usually dont know where they're getting shot from

exotic jungle
#

early or late spawn?

sonic lake
#

?

#

on time spawns?

exotic jungle
#

yes

#

there are 2 waves of spawn I think for PMCs

sonic lake
#

nah. players should all spawn in at the same time.

#

Should, unless someone has issues, then the server tries to delay raid start for everyone, but if it takes too long to resolve then server is like oh well you spawn late.

cloud quarry
#

I once killed a guy right when he spawned and he was a lv 1 so i just threw my gear on his body as a sacrifice

still agate
#

can someone plz give me tips on what i should do when im just starting the game

vagrant pasture
#

run scavs as often as possible, its a way to not lose anything while learning, shorline is pretty calm to run PMC if you avoid the big resort in the center, aside from that, learn by experience and try not to die, im still a newbie myself though, keep asking around, plenty willing to help

final glade
#

can someone help me undersstand the difference between the flir and reaper?

#

they seem mostly the same to me besides a huge price gap haha

cyan tinsel
#

Screen refresh rate is the big one, if I recall correctly

final glade
#

ahh okay

cyan tinsel
#

I think the flir has a slower refresh rate

#

So it looks laggy

#

But the flir has variable zoom

final glade
#

gotcha gotcha

#

im fairly new and have a hard time on pmc raids but i have a decent amount of money so thinking of getting a thermal to help me with some quests

cyan tinsel
#

I am color blind so I can’t use the FLIR 😦 it’s all grey to me.

final glade
#

ahh shit 😐

cyan tinsel
#

I avoid using any equipment

#

I’m not experienced by any means but I try to avoid relying on gear

#

I try to get good with lesser gear

final glade
#

yeah definitely for the best i'd say

sonic lake
#

reap ir nice

#

is black or white

cyan tinsel
#

Learning how important what ammo I was using was the biggest difference I noticed.

final glade
#

i just have trouble spotting people, or knowing like what pace to go or what i guess

#

yeah i'm mostly good on ammo now, i use good stuff, not the best but good

cyan tinsel
#

Shot ammo will make or break how your engagements go

#

I was always upset dying to chads when I was shooting BT out of my AKs

sonic lake
#

BS is best ammo

cyan tinsel
#

Then I bought BS and I noticed a huge improvement

final glade
#

yeah i got a little bit annoyed earlier when i pumped some guy with my vss but he mostly tanked it

#

he had more damage absorbed than not haha

#

he probably had a slick or something

sonic lake
#

the problem with vss is, when not using BP, you really need a constant stream of hits to kill anyone with class 5 or higher.

final glade
#

bp?

#

you mean spp?

sonic lake
#

highest pen VSS ammo

#

even SPP

#

when I was using a slick an SPP VAL couldn't get a constant stream of hits on me and he barely damaged me

#

9x39 largely relies on dealing a large amount of armor damage, effectively zeroing armor, and then dealing flesh damage after that.

final glade
#

bp can't be used in the vss is what i meant

sonic lake
#

there is 7N12 BP

final glade
#

or so it hought

sonic lake
#

7N12 BP for 9x39
BP for 5.45
BP for 7.62x39

final glade
#

oh i didn't notice that

sonic lake
#

he almost killed my slick, but he couldn't land shots on me after and he perished by the hand of my BS ammo

final glade
#

yeah i'm not at the level where i can reliably like, make money from pmc raids yet

#

so i try not to use the super expensive stuff

#

don't think i'd be dropping 100k+ on ammo in a raid haha

sonic lake
#

yeah im not saying use BP on a VSS, I personally never used it and SP5 worked fine for me in the lab.

final glade
#

yeah i use sp5 and then sp6 and spp if i find some in raid

sonic lake
#

I just keep in mind how it works to kill people.

final glade
#

i mostly use vss/sks/m1a/m4

sonic lake
#

stream of hits that zero the armor, then 2 or so hits to kill the thorax

final glade
#

i'm starting to veer away from the sks/vss though

sonic lake
#

m4s are kinda just worse vss if you dont use 995. I mean I guess they have 60 rounders and thats cool, but you'll still kill cheaper and faster with a VSS.

final glade
#

i think m4s have more room for error

small orbit
#

can i hear the armored train comming infrom inside the bunker?

sonic lake
#

thats true

small orbit
#

like the basement

final glade
#

thats why im trying to go a bit away from the vss

sonic lake
#

but they're also more expensive

final glade
#

i've noticed i'll blow a clip on a guy with a vss and run out of ammo really fast if i'm not accurate

#

and they aren't great at range are they?

sonic lake
#

you'll see this as a trend, the higher level gear and stuff really just let you have a couple milliseconds more room for error.

#

with low level gear, theres really no room to make mistakes. but you get a bit of a cushion with better gear. not a huge one but its there.

small orbit
#

pls answer my question im kinda in the raid

sonic lake
#

yes damin

#

you can hear the horn

small orbit
#

thx so musch

sonic lake
#

the VSS is very good at range, you just have to learn it.

flat cipher
#

Unless tarkov does a funny and the audio doesn't work

final glade
#

gotcha

#

i feel like gear matters a lot if you're getting hit in the body but none of it really matters if someone just gets a headshot haha

#

i went into labs with my friends with an altyn and a slick and some guy with a pistol just turns a corner flicks to my head and all of that gear didn't matter at all haha

sonic lake
#

again, more room for error. with shittier ammo you need more shots to kill a fast mt helmet, but with better ammo you only need one.

With no helmet you can't protect your head from anything at all, any headshot kills, With helmet theres a little cushion that lets you survive lower class amo.

#

altyn is a terrible labs helmet imo

final glade
#

i just brought the gear my friends suggested me

sonic lake
#

tell your friends altyns aren't that great for labs kekw

final glade
#

but it was pretty infuriating for a naked guy to 1 tap me when i put like 800k into my loadout lol

sonic lake
#

cheaters have spiked a bit recently in the lab. could've been it.

flat cipher
#

Five seven baybee

final glade
#

it was an auto pistol apparently

#

it was just the first shot killed me haha

sonic lake
#

sounds like chetr

flat cipher
#

No auto pistol has enough power to pen an altyn

#

So yes, cheats

final glade
#

i didnt hear the auto fire but my friends told me that it was auto haha

sonic lake
#

98% of the time, if you can see multiple bullet holes in your face, but died instantly its cheater.

final glade
#

cause i died to the first shot so i didnt hera anything aftyer that basically

sonic lake
#

yeah altyns aren't the best lab helmets

final glade
#

where would you use an altyn if not labs?

sonic lake
#

factory lul

final glade
#

why i mean? i legitimately don't know what makes it good or bad in either situation lol

sonic lake
#

well in labs the only people you should be afraid of headshotting you are other players. And most players use the ammo that pens altyns in labs, or do so in a very few amount of rounds. So youre pretty much not getting as much protection as you'd like to think, while handicapping your hearing, which as a labs only player I think is really important on that map.

#

if you always full body peek raiders, there is virtually no chance they will headshot you.

final glade
#

oh i didnt know that

sonic lake
#

since their targeting system shoots whatever they see first.

#

body peek = they shoot your arms or some shit

flat cipher
#

Sidestep round corners for raiders

sonic lake
#

head peeking a raider is asking to get domed

final glade
#

didn't know that, interesting

sonic lake
#

yes yes

final glade
#

this is an example of the loadout i use 99% of the tiem btw, with usualy a vss or sks or m1a

sonic lake
#

not bad, armor dura is like too low though lmao

final glade
#

yeah it is, i usually go in with it at 38

sonic lake
#

if you have ragman 2, stick to the 6b3tm.

vagrant pasture
#

insuring the balaclava is a power move

final glade
#

the 47k one?

sonic lake
#

its insanely good for the price. it can tank a round of 7n1.

#

yeap

final glade
#

gotcha gotcha

#

i'll start using those for sure

sonic lake
#

even with maxed traders I still use it religiously.

final glade
#

i pay around 48k for a 38 durability uley anyways

vagrant pasture
#

tank a round of 7m1 impossible, scavs can already tank them

final glade
#

40k*

sonic lake
#

if your arm doesn't tank the 7n1, your 6b3tm will kekw

#

scavs have crackhead powers.

vagrant pasture
#

its absurd, killed 3 scavs in woods during an unusually quiet game, got 7 hits, all to the torso

#

well stomach, if i can i aim there to prevent arms eating them

final glade
#

yeah i was watching my friend play last night and he was killing raiders, put 5-7 shots of m80 into the chest of one until it died, went to loot it and it was just a naked scav lmao

sonic lake
#

well with stomach shots you gotta hit like 5 shots to kill

final glade
#

well maybe it wasnt chest, but it was upper body

vagrant pasture
#

? thats dumb, i would die if i was shot in the intestines

#

i would die pretty damn immidiately in fact

final glade
#

i feel like i probably don't aim high enough and i get alot of stomach shots alot

#

that's probably a bit problem of mine

sonic lake
#

gaia, you can walk around with no legs if you lube up in this game kekw

vagrant pasture
#

i usually aim just below the neck

final glade
#

i usually aim for the center of the body which probably ends up being stomach

#

i forget alot of the time they differentiate bewtween stomach and chest

vagrant pasture
#

so sometimes recoil brings it to the head, it also gives me a margin for error that means most deviation will cause a torso or arm shot

sonic lake
#

honestly aiming stomach isn't a great idea, but isn't the worst, with how common slicks are. and maybe the recoil shoots up to chest kekw

final glade
#

think im gonna start using the m1a alot more, bp compared to m80 just seems too shitty now that i actually have a chart

#

its literally like 30 damage higher haha

vagrant pasture
#

that was a good game though, poor moisin player got bopped by someone and i stole his scoped suppresed moisin and added his 10 7n1 to my ammo

#

didnt even need to dip into my LPZ backup ammo

sonic lake
#

man idk how you new players use mosins

bold kernel
#

mosins are decent

#

anything is better then using a toz

vagrant pasture
#

i honestly love them, most shots to torso kill in one, and it can get some good ammo

bold kernel
#

and if you upgrade them correctly, you get a good as sniper

vagrant pasture
#

that and its low fire rate encourages a more cautious playstyle, relocating after shots and making sure they count

bold kernel
#

or just have insane aim

vagrant pasture
#

im good with it, and i love it, its just that i get so caught up in the act of sniping that i fail to relocate, get zeroed on and sniped

#

its something i need to work on, otherwise i could be king sniper noob

sonic lake
#

im fine with slow fire rate

#

the reloads and the shit ergo just oooof

#

one of my favorite guns to use is a plain vepr 136 with a pk 06

vagrant pasture
#

i like the reload, i just wish you could skill into catching the ejected round when topping off

#

and i dont know what ergo does exactly, mind explaining it

toxic sand
#

7n37 or SNB

sonic lake
#

SNB

toxic sand
#

why I look at the ammo chart and see 7n has more pen

#

not 0doubting just need to understand

sonic lake
#

they do the same shit. SNB is 300 roubles, 7n37 is 1000+ roubles.

toxic sand
#

okay thanks

sonic lake
#

they both pen class 6 and 2 hit body shot

#

in an SVD zeroing is also spot on with SNB

#

@vagrant pasture ergo determines how fast you ADS and how long you can ADS. both of those really tick me off about the mosin.

#

feels really sluggish and heavy to me

vagrant pasture
#

for me that also helps, its slow speed helps me build the habit of scanning with my eyes and not my narrow scope

sonic lake
#

ooooh funny you say that

vagrant pasture
#

its a really good teacher, as all its traits have the capacity to teach imo

sonic lake
#

most people scan by ADSing, then free looking outside of the scope.

#

idk if im explaining that right

vagrant pasture
#

using middle mouse while ADSed

sonic lake
#

yeah like ADSing into the ground then freelooking towards the horizon.

vagrant pasture
#

perhaps, but i like it my way, i can deal with the consequences, does it give them an advantage at all?

sonic lake
#

its the same as ADSing with irons and scanning idk

#

lets you see bit further and clearer with bigger FOV

solemn echo
#

Yo

#

im new to tarkov and this discord

sonic lake
#

welcome

#

hope youre ready to get your ass kicked

solemn echo
#

i am

sonic lake
#

thats the spirit

solemn echo
#

so im not really sure what i need

#

help with

#

i just am not good

sonic lake
#

its because youre new lmao

#

just play a bit more, watch some guides

solemn echo
#

I came here for help.........

#

already tried taht

sonic lake
#

well if you dont know what you need its pretty hard to give help lmao

solemn echo
#

tips

#

Atleast

#

fighting

#

what to and not to pick up

#

what gun is suitable for what gear

#

stuff like that

sonic lake
#

fights are based on ammo

#

its too late in the night and this game has too much info for me to blurt out rn lmao

#

reeeeeee

solemn echo
#

ive noticed that but i feel armor too

sonic lake
#

well, with good ammo you ignore armor completely

final glade
#

the gun is essentially useless as far as damage goes exo, all that m atters as far as pure damage numbers is ammo

pure sierra
#

have you survived a raid as a pmc yet exo?

final glade
#

if 2 different guns shoot the same ammo they will do the same damage

#

the gun all comes down to recoil management and what sights and stuff it can use

#

and ammo of course

solemn echo
#

Lefty once

#

i found some dude with a slick and the plague mask and airframe and shit

#

dead

#

ran

#

i have this tx-15 dml

#

modded pretty well

final glade
#

i have a question as well though, i've been trying to decide if i should use the sks or the m1a, my main problem is i have an sks that has really nice stats that is around 150k, but the m1a i use thats budgetish is around 200k, but sks uses way more expensive ammo, but the m1a i use over my "good" sks has waay worse stats

#

should i just try to go for the m1a since i mioght end up saving more on ammo in the long run tahn i would if i used an sks like 50k cheaper?

solemn echo
#

i hope your not asking me

#

lol

final glade
#

nah just in general haha

solemn echo
#

whats a good ammo type for a tx-15?

final glade
#

ive been playing for a few weeks but it's still a pretty confusing game

#

what type of ammo does it use exo?

solemn echo
#

m855 is in it currently

final glade
#

okay

sonic lake
#

dont use 5.56 at that low level

solemn echo
#

556x45

sonic lake
#

m855 is shooting peas

final glade
#

so a good cheapish ammo for that would be m855a1

#

m855 is complete shit thoug yeah

#

yhou essentially have to go for headshots if you're using m855

solemn echo
#

ok

final glade
#

exo i'm gonna link you a chart that helps me ALOT with ammo

sonic lake
#

imo I wouldn't use even 55a1 in a semi gun.

solemn echo
#

armore suggestions?

final glade
#

i use uleys

solemn echo
#

uleys?

sonic lake
#

I suggest not using 5.56 until you have enough wealth.

final glade
#

its a rig that counts as armor as well

solemn echo
#

ok

final glade
#

lemme link you something exo one sc

solemn echo
#

are you playing atm chase?

final glade
#

i am yeah but i'm quite new so if you need help i'm probably not the persont o ask haha

sonic lake
#

chase can you send me your sks and m1a builds

solemn echo
#

i just want someone to play with

#

i have a max of 50 hts

#

hrs

final glade
#

yeah i can spyder, and i'm probably not going to que up again tonight exo, i'm just online i thought thats what you meant haha

#

thats my "cheap" m1a

solemn echo
#

oh ok

sonic lake
#

😬 SDN6

final glade
#

and thats my sks that i use, its around 150k

#

whats wrong with sdn6?

solemn echo
#

helmets?

#

good helmets

final glade
#

oh exo one sec that thing i was going to link

sonic lake
#

SDN6 kinda expensive

final glade
#

this is a very good list of ammo exo

#

like very very good

#

if you don't know what to use i'd refer to that, the bottom is the amount of damage and the left side is the armor piercing

#

oh i didn't know it was expensive

#

i'm still pretty confused when it comes to weapon building

solemn echo
#

whats a cheap decent helm

final glade
#

umm its the level 3 green helmet, one sec

#

ssh-68

solemn echo
#

6b47?

final glade
#

theyre actually fairly decent

solemn echo
#

oh

final glade
#

and pretty cheap as well

#

13k

solemn echo
#

oh

sonic lake
#

I mean why do you have the SDN6 on it?

final glade
#

like specifically that silencer?

sonic lake
#

yea

final glade
#

umm i don't remember why i chose that but it's probably just a silencer that had identified?

sonic lake
#

lmao ok

final glade
#

i remember there were a few options

sonic lake
#

well its not a terrible choice but if you want budget the ultra 5 is the cheapest suppressor

#

KAC PRS is pretty good ergo suppressor

final glade
#

kk let me check that out

sonic lake
#

for 10k cheaper

#

so im assuming youre using BP in the SKS and M80 in M1A?

final glade
#

yeah

#

i'mt hinking i should use the m1a in the long run because the ammo is so expensive

#

it's just the fact that my m1a has such shitty stats compared to my sks

#

and to get comparable stats i have to spend like 300k

#

i have a really nice m1a i built but i don't really use it yet

#

the bp ammo is so expensive i meant spyder

sonic lake
#

For me, id use M1A. The OPSKS doesn't perform very well at range, as it has reaaalllly bad accuracy. The OPSKS also really has a long reload.

final glade
#

yeah i'm thinking of doing that as well

sonic lake
#

those are my reasons, not really ammo.

final glade
#

right now i'm just thinking of what to do while i'm learning mostly

#

becuase i could just spend alot of money on my really nice m1as i built but i don't tihnk thats a good idea

sonic lake
#

BP was super cheap a while ago lol

final glade
#

yeah i think its like 900 now or something

sonic lake
#

yeah for me, anything an SKS can do the M1A does better.

#

I dont have issues spamming a near stock M1A in panic situations. The SKS is a really good semi spam gun though, ill give it that.

final glade
#

my main problem is to get similar stats the m1a has to spend so much more

sonic lake
#

stats aren't the same for all guns

final glade
#

i made this for instnace

#

just to make a good gun that i like

sonic lake
#

meta kekw

final glade
#

its very expensive though lol

#

it is?

sonic lake
#

nah, wave suppressor is better than SDN6

final glade
#

i mostly just searched for stuff that would make the best gun i could get haha

#

i've used it once and got out with it thankfully haha

#

i think i will start to use the m1a though yeah

sonic lake
#

M1A is a good gun

#

best gun in game imo

final glade
#

oh really?

#

why do you say that?

#

just the veratility?

sonic lake
#

yeah.

final glade
#

versatility*

#

gotcha gotcha

sonic lake
#

it can snipe cross map, and have the same recoil as an SMG

final glade
#

yeah i was thinking that too, not that it was the best but just how good it is in alot of situations

sonic lake
#

and kills In 2 shots

final glade
#

i've also heard that the val is the best gun in the game haha

sonic lake
#

best CQB gun, probably.

final glade
#

cqb?

sonic lake
#

close quarters

final glade
#

oooh gotcha

#

yeah i personally just am not a fun of the like super fast clip unload

sonic lake
#

well thats what makes it really good

final glade
#

i feel like if you make a mistake you're fucked haha

#

yeah i know

#

it shreds people so fast i just am at the point in tarkov where i hesitate alot

#

like i'm still kinda not super quick to pull the trigger or whatever and my aim suffers from the like non confidence i thgink lol

solemn echo
#

I just killed full geared bro with mosin

#

never gotten extract camped before

final glade
#

yeah the mosin is nuts man

solemn echo
#

got camped

#

like what

#

so

#

bs

final glade
#

oh you died?

solemn echo
#

Yeah

final glade
#

😦

solemn echo
#

airframe and a slick

final glade
#

yeah i've never been extract camped before either

solemn echo
#

first time

#

Now

#

im goin factory geared af

final glade
#

if you have good aim and like the mosin you can honestly just use that gun all the time lmao

solemn echo
#

with basically the rest of my money

#

but yeah fr

final glade
#

maybe not the best idea xD

solemn echo
#

already doing

final glade
#

lol gl

#

i hate factory

solemn echo
#

I love it

final glade
#

it almost feels like rng whether you live or not

solemn echo
#

and hate

#

meh

#

i always see one hella geared when im pmc

#

so

#

if i dont see one

#

and i die

#

to a shotgun

#

alt f4

#

lol

#

should be fun

#

ish

#

im done

#

lol

#

can you shoot through shit or what i was behind the wall

final glade
#

i'm not sure

#

factory is just crazy man

celest condor
#

You can shoot through some walls and shit

final glade
#

if you're trying to learn the overall game i don't think factory is the best bet honestly haha

celest condor
#

Factory is a horrible map to learn on.

#

Good for aim practice, BAD for actually learning the game.

solemn echo
#

ive done labs and got out 6 times

#

out of 10

#

or 11

celest condor
#

I teach people on interchange. Good loot, variable skill raids possible. So I can teach easy raid and they can grow from there.

solemn echo
#

wanna teach me lol

celest condor
#

Customs is useful to learn early because of early tasks.

solemn echo
#

i know customs

#

minus loot

#

i know map though

celest condor
#

Can't tonight, already 3:30am, so not on long. Feel free to send me a Sherpa request through the EFT website though.

solemn echo
#

ok

celest condor
#

Or go to Sherpa Hub and find me there. I spend most of my time there.

solemn echo
#

alright

celest condor
#

!sherpahub

jovial starBOT
solemn echo
#

anyone able to teach as of now?

exotic halo
#

Learning this game is so difficult like i'm level 18 but i feel like i cheated via easy quests and the flea market

solemn echo
#

same

#

im level 11

final glade
#

exo, you can play the game whatever way you want obviously, but i feel personally you should stick to like customs shoreline interchange early on probably

solemn echo
#

i play interchange

#

and i always get late ones

final glade
#

but if you enjoy what you're doing with labs and factory then obviously go for it

solemn echo
#

its annoying

final glade
#

i really, really, really, really love interchange as a map, but i hate that all the loot in condensed into one spot so everyone rushes to that spot usually

solemn echo
#

i want a chance at a play

#

thats why i do labs

#

for the chance of a good play

final glade
#

theres loot everywhere in itnerchange of course, but most people sprint to the techlight area just kill eachother

solemn echo
#

Rain is so damn loud

#

yeah

#

i try to camp with a shotty there

#

and some nades

final glade
#

i was in an interchange today at around 31 moinutes just sprinting around the map, there was literally nobody left on the map, it was crazy

solemn echo
#

Yeah

#

they check 2 spots and leave

final glade
#

yeah

solemn echo
#

annoying as balls

final glade
#

thats why i like reserve alot

solemn echo
#

it has to be like 40+ mins

#

reserve i get sniped from random ass places

#

or one tapped

final glade
#

that's true as well

solemn echo
#

or die to the boss

#

i actually really wanna fight him

#

for the experience

final glade
#

i've killed him twice, once alone and then once with a friend

solemn echo
#

Im fairly certain i just found some good sellable stuff

#

i died trying to grab tetriz 😦

#

wires ram and cpu

#

good?

final glade
#

umm

#

don't tihnk so

solemn echo
#

to sell

#

?

final glade
#

i mean its probably liek 15k each?

#

around there

solemn echo
#

oh

#

i have no money

final glade
#

definitely worth picking up i just don't think it's like a big find or anything

#

i usually try to pick up stuff thats around 15kish

#

not much lower

#

just out of laziness mostly

solemn echo
#

ok

final glade
#

also it sounds weird but i've been trying not to play with other people, i did oringially and i found out i started relying on them really heavily and kinda not learning how to survive a riad on my own

#

i noticed it when i was [playing with my friends and when they died i checked their bodies and they had all tghis crazy loot theyd just founda long the way and i realized i kinda just follow them around and pick up the scraps lol

solemn echo
#

dorm 118 key good?

celest condor
#

I don't keep any dorms keys beside the marker room.

#

My opinion though.

hexed sky
#

when you begin looting ingredients for items well above your current standing with traders or hideout upgrade levels, such as gas mask filters and the like, do you just vendor those or should you wait until level 10 to put them on the market?

#

or, should i stop stockpiling weapons and body armor and keep them

prisma stirrup
#

The very rare items i wait for flea

#

anyone wanna do a scav run with me im new lol

any new person want to tag along and learn shoreline? Im experienced and have all keys, also dont mind bringing a kit if you need one

final meadow
#

Is it possible for anyone to tank 9 bullets from sks to the chest? I was using 2nd best ammo - PS. Got a drop on a guy, shot him my full clip, then he turned around and killed me. Was he a cheater or is there some armor so unbalanced that it tanks 9 shots?

hexed sky
#

when you died did you review the part where it says how much of your damage dealt was absorbed by armor?

still agate
#

can somebody help me get started on the game

sonic lake
#

level 5, 6 probably can tank that much, along with arm and tummy hits

olive turret
#

lvl 5 or 6 armor or hit arms

#

ps has like 34-36 pen iirc

sonic lake
#

good armor damage tho

#

but uh slick is verrrry unbalanced lmao

#

It only starts letting m80 through at 30 or 40 dura iirc

mild junco
#

damn i knew it was good but i didnt know it was that busted xd

toxic oar
#

whats the best way to complete the second phase of "blast from the past" task?

sonic lake
#

repairing it basically costs nothing too

bold kernel
#

Yeah M80 would take about 15 or so rounds to pen a slick, which is a much better round than 7.62x39mm PS lol.

mild junco
#

my dumbass wore it into the raid at level 8 and died with it because i couldnt check fleamarket price lol

sonic lake
#

15k to repair a zerod slick and it only takes off a point or two away from max durability

olive turret
#

there are external sites that you can use to check prices when in raid

mild junco
#

orly i did not know that

sonic lake
#

whats price for a busted slick?

mild junco
#

just bookmarked that shit ty

sonic lake
#

last I was on you can get a once repaired slick for 110-120k

mild junco
#

lowest price is 190k rn for a clapped one

sonic lake
#

lmaoooo it was even cheaper when it was new how lmao

mild junco
#

less people could buy them so less demand maybe?

#

idk

sonic lake
#

slick was hyped as fuck

#

idk but price is still too low for how good it is

mild junco
#

i agree on gut but i am noob so i dont really know

sonic lake
#

level up and join big boys

mild junco
#

im trying g. i stopped worrying about loot today and got 8 tags in 3 or 4 factory runs and im doin quests now. i feel like im learning and getting xp

sonic lake
#

when is previously

mild junco
#

got an 18 kill run today

sonic lake
#

sell it to raggy? he should be able to buy for the highest price

#

yea idk

#

make sure nothings in it ig

#

yeah idk

#

could be bsg screwing standard even a bit more

final meadow
#

@hexed sky It all happened yesterday evening so I don't really remember. I probably clicked through it as I didn't really realize you could see how much damage you did to a person or his armor. Could you please let me know, what should I pay attention to in the future?

hexed sky
#

there's a damage screen you have to click through as you review the battle stats, one of them is something like "damage dealt" and contains a section for damage you dealt that was absorbed by armor

#

i've shot at a dude with 7 of 9 shots hitting and only like 11 damage taken

#

i don't think 7.62x39 PS is meant to pierce too much body armor as i recall, instead opting for high impact damage to flesh

#

i use the SKS and PS as well, i've definitely fired many shots into a dude and it had no effect before he killed me as well

#

i started trying to aim for the legs and stomach

still agate
#

can anyone help me out im a new player and im not entirely sure what im doing

#

plz dm me if you can help

proper cove
#

Anyone know where I can find fuel? I'd rather not pay nearly all my roubles for a can of it that may or may not be empty

granite dock
#

@proper cove you can find on maps such as labs and reserve

also if you double click on picture of item in market you can see if it has fuel in it or not

#

or you could right click and inspect 🙂

the red flash light that you can put on ur gun why is it so hard to see

bold kernel
#

@humble cave Just because the site isn't loading for me doesn't mean I blamed the wiki. I can't be bothered to troubleshoot because just that. I have bigger priorities. I'm pretty sure I only brought up the fact that there is multiple sources available that are helpful guides to get started with and can be easily accessed.

serene gust
#

@sacred vapor the red flashlight your reffering to is it the IR?

sacred vapor
#

urm is it a red flashlight

serene gust
#

If so, it's not actually a flashlight, it's used like a laser, to tighten up pointfire spread

#

so, basically, with it turned on, other players struggle to see it, but your point fire will be more accurate

sacred vapor
#

Ah ok

serene gust
#

it's not used to illuminate an area

sacred vapor
#

i dont know if my sight on my guns ar bugged but when i spray i see like 4 scopes inside of my scope

serene gust
#

because you've not taken certain parts off that you maybe should have

#

what gun is it?

sacred vapor
#

val

serene gust
#

i don't get what you mean by 4 scopes inside of my scope

#

can you send a screenshot?

sacred vapor

yea

#

i cant really get a screenshot of it

and way i can send u a video

serene gust

i have a question
i put a water filter in water collector and it gave me a super water and there was 40 left on the water filter so it automatically started making another water but when the 40 hp was gone it just disappeared and when i put new filter the water started from 5 hours that it takes to make one
how does it work ? i was told for every filter you make 1.5 super water basically but i don't see how it works i am confused

I have noticed but haven't tested it. It's such a slow passive process I just take what it gives.

dont even need to cover you, if you take a 5 man, theres less enemies, so you can plod on do your thing while your team take out scavs, and last remaining PMc

So, ive already asked this a couple of times, but where can i find and kill pmcs on shoreline

#

its like a ghost town when i play the map, unless theres that rare chance that some player waited 35 minutes into the raid to snipe me from a mile out

#

@charred eagle im new too, i would recomend finding a map online for each map you plan to play, start on customs. its confusing at first but customs is like a rectangle. keep the map open, either printed out or on a 2nd screen like i did. if u ever get lost, look for a reference point and ur extracts like a road or something to tell you where you are and where you need to go

Hey everyone... I'm still very new, lvl 2 I believe. I've figured out a few basic things but I'm still struggling to make it through a round and I've lost a lot of my starting gear as a result. Have managed to escape once on a quick scav run and have a few kills to my name but I could really use someone to play with to help me get the hang of things. Has been really tough solo.

I'm NA east coast, 31, pretty laid back but I do enjoy games like this a lot and would like to learn more & progress. If there's anyone out there who would be willing to lend some guidance, I'd appreciate it!

#

@proven crag hey man, how you doing?

#

so, in this discord, you should probably be able to find help and players to play with

#

if you do, though, want some ~safety~ or someone that you can trust, you should probably join the sherpahub, since we tend to teach new players and etc

#

there's a bunch of veterans/new players there that will help you out

#

what is a good pvp helm and chest to run, budget and non budget?

#

@mellow lichen if you don't have the roubles to consistently buy them I'd just keep going for the green bucket helm and the lvl4 armored rig from rag

#

Eventually you'll start killing people with the expensive armors and helmets and won't have to pay for shit but maybe some repairs

@somber thunder i figured :/ im not the best at FPS shooters and some days it just feels like i dont understand this game at all and im lvl almost 30 now, im pretty decently in the tasks and such, but like then u find that 800 hour person who just pushes ur ****** in lol

Yea in lvl 25 rn and I reset my account at around 25 so I'm technically prolly somewhere between 30-40 but I still get worked pretty often and that's regardless of my gear

This game is less straight fun skill or gear and more learning and playing smarter

@somber thunder you would be lvl 30-31, but it really is. But you’re correct about running smart,I run light kits with friends all the time and come out successfully about half of the time (while friends have troubles without top tier gear).

idk, i just feel like i have bad luck, ive made so many shots that should kill people and dont (against t3/t4 armor and such), i just did woods 2 days ago with the t5 helm that looks like a welding mask (forget the name) and a t6 chest, scav murdered me with a shotgun.... i hit him 7 times with pvp ammo on my akm

guess i just suck, ill keep practicing lol
