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
sometimes it only takes a perfect stack of 7000
idk
make sure it wasn't used for insurance
lol
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
did the prompt in the middle pop up for you?
yes
thats weird then i used the extract earlier and it was fine might have been bugged for you
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
sometimes it only takes a perfect stack of 7000
does it? i havent had a problem and i keep a weird amount of roubles on me
I have it sometimes
it might just be that i havent encountered that bug
I gotta go to inventory and separate out 7k lmao
my first time, maybe i did it wrong or something, probably was moving around too..
just try it in offline mode to learn it or see if its bugged for you you wont lose the roubles or any gear
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
painkillers
they let you run on broke legs
that was the old way, keep vaseline, ibuprofen, golderstar
so the cheap analgin painkillers work.
yea
whats better about vaseline, ibuprofen and goldenstar
can i take painkillers twice in a row if i didnt make it to extract fast enough?
thats fine. im trying to do therapist scav box trade in. So im going to be on factory anyway.
thanks itll take a lot of time it sounds like
o yea
take it again once you run out
Just got a shooting range built does firing weapons at it waste any ammo?
nop
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
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?
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
Guys ! Nvidia uses freestyle , What should i use for the same feautures for Radeon ?
and is it legal
@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
yeah I was looking into the vulcan, what base do I need? trying to put it on this 153
@wraith sigil How far do you think that shot was?
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
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
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
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.
anyone wanna play? pretty new to the game
did anyone just meet a friendly bear pmc on reserve? i was a hatchet boi
Which hatchets are not friendly
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
you got pretty lucky, most people just kos
i know :[
Especially hatchlings
i give my friends stuff when they don't kos. i usually hand over a paracord or sugar or something.
i just like to go scav hunting
scav hunting?
idk i just cruise around in the open and shoot at scavs/raiders
i don't bother running loot spots
With your hatchet ?
it's the challenge
i get kind of bored of just taking gear in and plinking unarmored scavs
Ahh the 0 to hero reason
it's entertaining. i don't bother taking any keys for marked room or anything. i just like the gunfights lol
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
i do the same thing on interchange. grab whatever shitty gun, no armor and run laps around the mall until i kill some scavs
Please help, i dont know where to get started on how to get good or get loot
all i know is factory
Follow the quests
why do people even start factory
@mighty patrol because in game it says the difficulty is a breeze
With not actually game knowledge that sounds fun
it also lists customs as normal, lol
just wondering if anyone could show me a loot run in interchange kind of new and would like to learn the map
does Tushonka have a different name in the fleamarket?
Not sure
@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
aight thanks
anyone know where's the new spawn points for Killa?
it seems that he doesn't spawn in mantis/generic/viking anymore
@mighty patrol pretty sure because they see the difficulty of the map
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
So how does the actual sherpa thing here work? New to server
is there any group for new players
@tropic warren you can try the sherpa hub
where is it

Why is the RB-KSM key so expensive when it seems literally dogsh*t?
Anyone able to help a new player out dm me please will be on soon
@sharp parcel KSM opens one of the doors in the medical building on reserve and has a common ledx spawn
San 222 has a keycard spawn, two i thinl
nice man
any new players want to team up and learn together?
Anybody willing to help out with Mechanic quest - introduction to unlock Jaeger?
I would if i was home, ive been escorting people in that missiom all week
anyone down to run a few
Thanks, I appreciate the thought. Any tips for the woods map?
Just keep moving, never stay in one spot for too long. And get your bearing asap, study a detailed map. Learn the spawns/extracts. AND STAY AWAY FROM LUMBERMIL DURING QUESTS! @shell narwhal
@cold crest Thanks, I'll try some offline raids to get use to the map.
Make sure you add scavs so u know where they spawn
any man i been doing customs and interchange alot
can anyone help me do the jaeger quest?
would anyone be willing to help a rookie? Looking to get better overall by learning the game and customization of weapons
yea man what ammo you using?
@sharp parcel if you're using bp then stop you should use bt at the minimum
!ammo
bp has 4 more flesh dam but bt has more pen and armor demage
Igolnik > BS > BT > BP > PP > PS > FMJ/T > US > PRS >SP/HP
@sharp parcel
Always reference this chart
200k? Yikes prices are inflated
@sharp parcel i have an ak that is 120k 65 ergo and 55 recoil
This is the true best budget gear
nahhh
@bold kernel Lets see it
ok
@sharp parcel I run something close to that when im broke should do ya well enough
Oof get rid of the RR and get a hatched
Don’t hatchet at all
Zero to hero runs are fun
my stash zero , i start as zero , i die as zero 
Wood handle hatchets allday. I’ve doomed a few chads in my day. Get up in their grill and just start swinging😂
@bold kernel that's actually pretty nice
@bold kernel try changing to a pt-3 stock see how that works for you
Anybody wanna help me out? Just got the game. No idea where to start
Watch video guides first do offline raids to learn the maps and scav runs
And if you’re having trouble you can always ask for a sherpa

What is a sherpa?
they guide new players in various ways
there are also give aways for people under level 30
sherpa is sheep herder. guide us sheep and show us the way
or they just protect us as we do stupid stuff
That’s a good way of explaining how sherpa’s work
hey guys
is it really safer to extract from interchange later than earlier?
or is it just me
that ez ammo chart is just flat out wrong rn
the NFAM one is up to date
just not the "EZ AMMO CHART"
also that nfam link is dead
lmao
damn
@exotic jungle considering more ppl are dead by the end of a raid... yes
too much traffic killed it
There are a number of links and backup links on ballistics pinned
yees but wiki always up
isn't it also that people tend to do quick money runs? so everybody extracts between 8-15mn after the beginning?
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...
looks clean to me idk. if wiki is messy complain to orbb kekw
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
What’s a good round for 5.45x39
@ orbb and muha mrt dont like your wiki
not gonna bother troubleshooting it
I have a box of igolnik
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
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
How much for bs igolnik is like 1k a bullet
900 for BS
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
Tbh I find spawns
way harder than extracts on interchange as long as I wait it out
Wtf is superwater
@magic urchin If your picky about price you might need a different bullet... armour pen isn't great to cheap out on against players
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
I just keep strong cover and good stamina... if a fight happens then improvise
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
well snipers are another game... if ur caught out... u didnt spot em... if you know they are there. try another exit
ty
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
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
how do you get to 10, 20, 30... mils? just running interchange for hours?
minimize losses... pick up easy loot stashes... or money farm
I'm doing that too atm, but i'm "only" @3-4M
intel on reserve is nice money
if any newer players or people still learning wanna play some raids lmk and i can help out
oh you mean 10mil at a time? idk bout that... weight system kinda knee capped all the thicc case looting scheems
oh you mean 10mil at a time
nah not at a time
Then what I said still applies... maybe a little playing the flea market or collecting bitcoins in hideout speed it.up
I just wanted to know if guys who I cross with 800k ru loadouts on interchange made fortune on this map
youtube has other more active money farms
or if there's another magic trick that makes you win even more, like the folders run on reserve you were talking about
idk about a fortune.... farming killa.might pay a bit... but some ppl just get better luck n game.performance
ok so if I understand well, after grinding idea/oli, next level = interchange boss + pvp-ing on second floor + labs
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
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
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
so where do you go?
scav boss likes to spawn there oli i think
i like doing shoreline runs sometimes if you want a leisure run
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...
water filters 2 slots, some weird rubberbands 1 slot, gas bottle 4 slots... all of them @40k a slot
i need to start small again, im broke from being stupid
Oli is good loot. Just expect.combar aswell...
couple early spawns there... late game U sometimes go through there
and so you think it's better to fight the scav boss?
i feel you need to be mid/big boi it do a good inter run
Nah
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
Only thing that matters is the spawn
I play with friends we do quests, so I'm funding for HK416s, mods, armors, keys etc etc
You can try runnin with some sherpas. I tend to pass over loot just to get at my task.
Only thing that matters is the spawn
I'm often getting wrecked on spawn even by being careful
there's a dynamic behind it
start of every raid starts with spawn clearing... it'a better.... but still prevails... gotta be careful
your spawn can determine what loot you get, if you get insta-capped at raid start etc
sometimes I wonder if it's not better to wait out on some fkd up spawns
anyway... gtg. keep workin at it. Profits can always been earned in the lessons we learn upon death
that aint a bad call sometimes
gg
wait it out, and catch the person checking your spawn or something
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
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.
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
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
early or late spawn?
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.
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
can someone plz give me tips on what i should do when im just starting the game
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
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
Screen refresh rate is the big one, if I recall correctly
ahh okay
I think the flir has a slower refresh rate
So it looks laggy
But the flir has variable zoom
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
I am color blind so I can’t use the FLIR 😦 it’s all grey to me.
ahh shit 😐
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
yeah definitely for the best i'd say
Learning how important what ammo I was using was the biggest difference I noticed.
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
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
BS is best ammo
Then I bought BS and I noticed a huge improvement
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
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.
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.
bp can't be used in the vss is what i meant
there is 7N12 BP
or so it hought
7N12 BP for 9x39
BP for 5.45
BP for 7.62x39
oh i didn't notice that
he almost killed my slick, but he couldn't land shots on me after and he perished by the hand of my BS ammo
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
yeah im not saying use BP on a VSS, I personally never used it and SP5 worked fine for me in the lab.
yeah i use sp5 and then sp6 and spp if i find some in raid
I just keep in mind how it works to kill people.
i mostly use vss/sks/m1a/m4
stream of hits that zero the armor, then 2 or so hits to kill the thorax
i'm starting to veer away from the sks/vss though
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.
i think m4s have more room for error
can i hear the armored train comming infrom inside the bunker?
thats true
like the basement
thats why im trying to go a bit away from the vss
but they're also more expensive
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?
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.
pls answer my question im kinda in the raid
thx so musch
the VSS is very good at range, you just have to learn it.
Unless tarkov does a funny and the audio doesn't work
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
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
i just brought the gear my friends suggested me
tell your friends altyns aren't that great for labs kekw
but it was pretty infuriating for a naked guy to 1 tap me when i put like 800k into my loadout lol
cheaters have spiked a bit recently in the lab. could've been it.
Five seven baybee
sounds like chetr
i didnt hear the auto fire but my friends told me that it was auto haha
98% of the time, if you can see multiple bullet holes in your face, but died instantly its cheater.
cause i died to the first shot so i didnt hera anything aftyer that basically
yeah altyns aren't the best lab helmets
where would you use an altyn if not labs?
factory lul
why i mean? i legitimately don't know what makes it good or bad in either situation lol
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.
oh i didnt know that
since their targeting system shoots whatever they see first.
body peek = they shoot your arms or some shit
Sidestep round corners for raiders
head peeking a raider is asking to get domed
didn't know that, interesting
yes yes
this is an example of the loadout i use 99% of the tiem btw, with usualy a vss or sks or m1a
not bad, armor dura is like too low though lmao
yeah it is, i usually go in with it at 38
if you have ragman 2, stick to the 6b3tm.
insuring the balaclava is a power move
the 47k one?
even with maxed traders I still use it religiously.
i pay around 48k for a 38 durability uley anyways
tank a round of 7m1 impossible, scavs can already tank them
40k*
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
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
well with stomach shots you gotta hit like 5 shots to kill
well maybe it wasnt chest, but it was upper body
? thats dumb, i would die if i was shot in the intestines
i would die pretty damn immidiately in fact
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
gaia, you can walk around with no legs if you lube up in this game kekw
i usually aim just below the neck
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
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
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
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
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
man idk how you new players use mosins
i honestly love them, most shots to torso kill in one, and it can get some good ammo
and if you upgrade them correctly, you get a good as sniper
that and its low fire rate encourages a more cautious playstyle, relocating after shots and making sure they count
or just have insane aim
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
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
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
7n37 or SNB
SNB
why I look at the ammo chart and see 7n has more pen
not 0doubting just need to understand
they do the same shit. SNB is 300 roubles, 7n37 is 1000+ roubles.
okay thanks
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
for me that also helps, its slow speed helps me build the habit of scanning with my eyes and not my narrow scope
ooooh funny you say that
its a really good teacher, as all its traits have the capacity to teach imo
most people scan by ADSing, then free looking outside of the scope.
idk if im explaining that right
using middle mouse while ADSed
yeah like ADSing into the ground then freelooking towards the horizon.
perhaps, but i like it my way, i can deal with the consequences, does it give them an advantage at all?
its the same as ADSing with irons and scanning idk
lets you see bit further and clearer with bigger FOV
i am
thats the spirit
well if you dont know what you need its pretty hard to give help lmao
tips
Atleast
fighting
what to and not to pick up
what gun is suitable for what gear
stuff like that
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
ive noticed that but i feel armor too
well, with good ammo you ignore armor completely
the gun is essentially useless as far as damage goes exo, all that m atters as far as pure damage numbers is ammo
have you survived a raid as a pmc yet exo?
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
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
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?
nah just in general haha
whats a good ammo type for a tx-15?
ive been playing for a few weeks but it's still a pretty confusing game
what type of ammo does it use exo?
m855 is in it currently
okay
dont use 5.56 at that low level
556x45
m855 is shooting peas
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
ok
exo i'm gonna link you a chart that helps me ALOT with ammo
imo I wouldn't use even 55a1 in a semi gun.
armore suggestions?
i use uleys
uleys?
I suggest not using 5.56 until you have enough wealth.
its a rig that counts as armor as well
ok
lemme link you something exo one sc
are you playing atm chase?
i am yeah but i'm quite new so if you need help i'm probably not the persont o ask haha
chase can you send me your sks and m1a builds
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
oh ok
😬 SDN6
SDN6 kinda expensive
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
whats a cheap decent helm
6b47?
theyre actually fairly decent
oh
oh
I mean why do you have the SDN6 on it?
like specifically that silencer?
yea
umm i don't remember why i chose that but it's probably just a silencer that had identified?
lmao ok
i remember there were a few options
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
kk let me check that out
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
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.
yeah i'm thinking of doing that as well
those are my reasons, not really ammo.
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
BP was super cheap a while ago lol
yeah i think its like 900 now or something
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.
my main problem is to get similar stats the m1a has to spend so much more
stats aren't the same for all guns
meta kekw
nah, wave suppressor is better than SDN6
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
yeah.
it can snipe cross map, and have the same recoil as an SMG
yeah i was thinking that too, not that it was the best but just how good it is in alot of situations
and kills In 2 shots
i've also heard that the val is the best gun in the game haha
best CQB gun, probably.
cqb?
close quarters
well thats what makes it really good
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
yeah the mosin is nuts man
oh you died?
Yeah
😦
airframe and a slick
yeah i've never been extract camped before either
if you have good aim and like the mosin you can honestly just use that gun all the time lmao
maybe not the best idea xD
already doing
I love it
it almost feels like rng whether you live or not
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
You can shoot through some walls and shit
if you're trying to learn the overall game i don't think factory is the best bet honestly haha
Factory is a horrible map to learn on.
Good for aim practice, BAD for actually learning the game.
I teach people on interchange. Good loot, variable skill raids possible. So I can teach easy raid and they can grow from there.
wanna teach me lol
Customs is useful to learn early because of early tasks.
Can't tonight, already 3:30am, so not on long. Feel free to send me a Sherpa request through the EFT website though.
ok
Or go to Sherpa Hub and find me there. I spend most of my time there.
alright
!sherpahub
anyone able to teach as of now?
Learning this game is so difficult like i'm level 18 but i feel like i cheated via easy quests and the flea market
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
but if you enjoy what you're doing with labs and factory then obviously go for it
its annoying
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
theres loot everywhere in itnerchange of course, but most people sprint to the techlight area just kill eachother
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
yeah
annoying as balls
thats why i like reserve alot
it has to be like 40+ mins
reserve i get sniped from random ass places
or one tapped
that's true as well
i've killed him twice, once alone and then once with a friend
Im fairly certain i just found some good sellable stuff
i died trying to grab tetriz 😦
wires ram and cpu
good?
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
ok
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
dorm 118 key good?
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
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
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?
when you died did you review the part where it says how much of your damage dealt was absorbed by armor?
can somebody help me get started on the game
level 5, 6 probably can tank that much, along with arm and tummy hits
good armor damage tho
but uh slick is verrrry unbalanced lmao
It only starts letting m80 through at 30 or 40 dura iirc
damn i knew it was good but i didnt know it was that busted xd
whats the best way to complete the second phase of "blast from the past" task?
repairing it basically costs nothing too
Yeah M80 would take about 15 or so rounds to pen a slick, which is a much better round than 7.62x39mm PS lol.
my dumbass wore it into the raid at level 8 and died with it because i couldnt check fleamarket price lol
15k to repair a zerod slick and it only takes off a point or two away from max durability
there are external sites that you can use to check prices when in raid
orly i did not know that
whats price for a busted slick?
just bookmarked that shit ty
last I was on you can get a once repaired slick for 110-120k
lowest price is 190k rn for a clapped one
lmaoooo it was even cheaper when it was new how lmao
i agree on gut but i am noob so i dont really know
level up and join big boys
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
when is previously
got an 18 kill run today
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
@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?
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
can anyone help me out im a new player and im not entirely sure what im doing
plz dm me if you can help
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
@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 🙂
I found an actually full can on the 15th page of the flea market, and someone bought it as I did of course :(((((((
guess im buying an expensive one lol
what's the best way to get overweight in the game
besides eating too many slickers bars
wearing a backpack with a back pack inside with a backpack inside with a back pack inside with a backpack inside with a back pack inside with a backpack inside with a back pack inside with a backpack inside with a back pack inside with a backpack inside with a back pack inside with a backpack inside
should do the trick
@bold kernel you either have the wiki on mobile view or some kind of shitty adblock. Dont blame the wiki for errors on your side and then say "CBA to troubleshoot"
Can someone join beginners assistance 1 chat to give me some tips
yo guys, if i were to uprgade from standard to eod, i wouldn't lose all my shit in the stash?
no, you get everything from the upgrade in the mail
But i think you lose the alpha container
anyone wanna play together? since i just bought the game and im looking for someone to help me xD
7.62x51 m80 VS armor. 'm not sure where you're seeing 15 @bold kernel
5 before reliable pen of the armor.
Half the time I'm just happy to survive, nice going 🙂
Same here, but finding a gun in the mix is 💯
My best (only good) scav run I face-tapped a sweaty through his lack of faceshield after he had wiped out all the players in interchange, got a nice m1a and like 5 mosins
Do any level 1 traders sell 7.62x51
@reef spoke could you link that spreadsheet? looks really interesting if it can calculate pen % for different ammo/armor
I'd love to know what are my chances with PS
@final meadow its the 2nd page of nofoodaftermidnights stuff
thanks
ye
wich equiptmen could I use to farm in Reserve?
the red flash light that you can put on ur gun why is it so hard to see
@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.
@sacred vapor the red flashlight your reffering to is it the IR?
urm is it a red flashlight
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
Ah ok
it's not used to illuminate an area
i dont know if my sight on my guns ar bugged but when i spray i see like 4 scopes inside of my scope
because you've not taken certain parts off that you maybe should have
what gun is it?
val
yeh, like sorta clips in and out
never seen that... have you tried messing with your graphic settings?
ill send a pic?
looks like some kinda FOV bug
@sacred vapor Can you do me a favor?
yea
change from boarderless to something else and repeat the test
ok
Cus i've got the same settings but don't see that sorta stuff
still does it
hmm odd
could if be my fov or headbobbing?
what fov do u play?
What's you FOV at
i play at 65, but I've seen that bug before and tried to repeat it, couldn't
same
does it act the same for other guns? sights?
ill try
Can you turn the lights on in the hideout yet?
That's so strange, can't find any info online about anyone having a similar issue????
can you upgrade multiple hideout buildings at the same time?
or do they block each other
no you can do severalk
no i couldnt find anything
NP dude
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
"Its only lost if game restarts i think. All ok as long the game keeps running. " - Phoenixsui
Have you tested this thoery?
I have noticed but haven't tested it. It's such a slow passive process I just take what it gives.
yes it may restart if you close the game o-o
yes i restarted my game cause i took a break
ak 101 any good? Picked up a suppressed one in a raid Since Im almost lvl 10 starting to think about guns I want to start using
^^good budget build
@subtle wing AK101 is 5.56 gun if you want to use that one you can get a good cheap viable barter for m4 from mechanic
what faceshield puts by exfil helmet higher than 85
Can multiple people in a group do the factory part of delivery from the past quest? Or does it need to be run separately per each quest.
Nah you can have a 5 man
one person place, 4 other players cover you
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
@serene gust Goes without saying but thanks for the input bud ;)
does the mechanic ever actually have a PP-19 in stock for the rolex trade?
^ lol, i've never managed to get one lo
Anyone that knows technical shizz down to help? Dm me
you got like 5 mins to buy that one after it restocks
Vale, what kind of technical shizz?
Is this the place to look for others players to play with that are at my level or dont mind playing with a lower ranking?Thanks
hey if anyone's down to play dm me im only lvl 3 but i semi know what im doing
#pvp-lfg @drowsy egret
unless u need special assistant, im sure some sherpa could explain some stuff
does anyone know if for the first jaeger quest u need to find all the stuff in raid or can u buy it?
@raven gazelle if you mean this , you can buy it.
ok thank u
does anyone know a good legit way to get rubles if so plz dm me
Anyone have a guide or can explain what the high traffic locations are in customs
You can watch pestily’s guide on customs
But there are only a couple of high traffic areas
- Dorms 2. Big red warehouse 3. Gas 4. Construction
HELLO? why does it cost so much
its really rare
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
wanna duo winchester?
I cant right now, i really need to get off of this quest that ive been on forever, so im looking for someone who really knows shoreline
ok
but i hope that helped a lil
thnx
what routes should i follow as a scav in reserve for decent loot
do you @ a sherpa or nah?
yo anyone wanna run reserve with me for money, im like lvl 12

@exotic portal eu or na?

what voice channel you wanna go?
go 2 man squad number 9
Decently experienced Tarkov player, just looking to help anyone who is new/wants a few tips
Spikes in ping? (top right number) shouldnt have a problem untill 200+
I could use some knowledge on what to keep/sell in my junkbox?
Hop in a chat?
yea
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
!sherpahub
@left vapor thanks! I'll definitely do that. wasn't sure what the best place to post was. Will check out sherpa hub now.
yup!
it's the same thing, accept rules, etc etc
and then you should be all set
if you need any help just @ me
Anyone willing to help a rookie? I’m eagerly trying to learn Tarkov
Same
whats this item?
im lvl 8 does that still count as beginners?
yes
what is a good pvp helm and chest to run, budget and non budget? I always seem to have an issue fighting people in armor class 4 and higher, i understand im still expected to get 1 tapped but sometimes when i buy like...an airframe with visor and chops i still get 1 tapped by even the simplest weapons (even by scav AI's!)
It's about ammo
I want to bring only 3k rub with me
How do i do it
How caan I divide the amount I need
Ctrl then drag to new space
thank you
@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
just in general
what handguard is combatable with the 18 inch m4 barrel?
@icy dust sorry, im not sure what ur response has to do with my question lol
but thank you for the input
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
Gun*
@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
