Will be FiR if you survive the raid with it anywhere in your inventory and it was generated in that raid
Won't be FiR if you die during the raid with it in your SC, pick it up off of a player that brought it in, bring an item into raid (which removes FiR status), or get the run-through status

lapis mauve
#

they did change the run through/survived thing. if you get 600 xp or stay in raid for 10 min or more you survive. currently its based on xp only

who wants a docs case full of bitcoins

it's because of the update

how should i behave after the wipe? took me like 10 game hours to get to level 9 before the wipe, so i have no idea on how to behave as i pretty much suck, like i tried spending all my money on a gen4 and helmet and died in the first gunfight so i'm scared for the upcoming wipe

placid igloo
#

@plush fossil Dont worry, everyone will have no gear. Everyone will be at the no gear level. You will be even with all other players

plush fossil
#

@placid igloo only problem is that i still suck at the game lol, any advice on how to play the early stages?

bronze latch
#

I plan on scav running

placid igloo
#

Always use your scav

#

I have no really good tips because tarkov is too complex

#

Hit your shots and learn the maps

#

The longer you play the better you get

#

3000~ hours and 2 and a half wipes under my belt and there are still way better players with me

paper flame
#

I've learned that unless I can tap them in the face, my chances of survival are low against PMCs

#

So, I've been getting better at headshots as a result 🥴

#

Dropped a dude with a scav adar and whatever shitty ammo it had because I got lucky and blew his nose off.

weary fern
#

Any ammo always one taps a face with no visor

#

Although some shotgun buckshot pellets deal less than 35 damage individually

paper flame
#

I figured if I was ever gonna do a shotgun, slugs would be the best bet

naive lion
#

what are the weight limits?

#

when do you become encumbered

#

and when do you become over-encumbered

I haven't played in some time so I don't know the exact numbers

Is binaural audio steam audio? Should I enable it?

sharp jasper
#

Yes

#

It's the first Module of Steam Audio, so I would heavily recommend using it, if only to be a lab rat

toxic herald
#

What is steam audio

sharp jasper
#

Essentially, at this point, the first step to Surround Sound

Right now, I'm 99% certain that EFT uses Stereo, hence why finding out the direction of gunfire, etc, is nearly impossible half the time

i always try to check the right two and see if i can squeeze in the Left weapon case but thats usually a hot zone.

@bright mirage where on the site?

At smokestack, You need to go up the stairs, one is on the second floor(left side), the other is on the top floor (right side

nothing is there

just my game

it is there for me

i even redeemed it

when did u get the game?

you will only get the new years gifts if you started playing before this year

What does that consist of Mako?

sand siren
#

Ah yes. New clean slate, same old Tarkov, 4 raids 4 deaths 0 k/d

bold kernel
#

some guns a case n such

desert hull
#

@sand siren It definitely plays differently early wipe

manic topaz
#

should i be trying to do tasks or wait a little bit

desert hull
#

I would do tasks early

sand siren
#

My one-on-one gunplay with players definitely needs improvement, I was hoping that since everyone isn't running around with expensive gear and ammo I might be able to even the score a bit but so far that's not the case. I can run around and kill scavs all day in offline mode but players just give me a ton of trouble

desert hull
#

but you might want to just do some loot runs first to get real gear

manic topaz
#

@sand siren try changing the difficulty on scavs in offline to it should help

ancient falcon
#

lol i finish 3 bears one by one and think oh that must be all of them. then pops up a 4th one

#

while im healing

#

right click cancels animation right?

#

not so realistic to pack up meds while getting shot. you drop that shit

manic topaz
#

did u win the encounter

steep hearth
#

I've seen people play some sort of offline mode with scavs. How does one do that?

ancient falcon
#

no he was shooting me for 5 seconds while I was putting the needles back in the case

#

and weaving

#

when selecting pmc mode, just check offline mode

#

in one of the next pages

#

Thanks, buddy.

mint eagle
#

are scav runs working? Im stuck on matching :/

robust notch
#

Can anyone help a shitty nub

copper zenith
#

@mint eagle I just completed a scav run. That run alone taught me a bit. I was unaware that people can just stack backpacks inside each other. I found a bag full of loot stuffed inside another bag, inside another bag. So I put my bag in that bag and took the new one out with me. Confusing, but interesting.

#

This game is overwhelming as all hell! Fun, though.

dire epoch
#

As a complete noob. What should I be doing in my first few plays in game?

neon vigil
#

get to know the map

#

where to look for scavs <npcs> and where to watch out for players. take all the fights you can to learn the combat and die a lot.

dire epoch
#

Should I use all the guns I have or hold onto them and just use pistols? Also, can you complete quest objectives as a scav?

neon vigil
#

some. if you need to find an item in raid, then yes, like the gas analiser or shotguns for preper

#

and use all guns, see what suits you most

#

at least thats what i did lst wipe when i started and what i do now

dire epoch
#

Makes sense. Guess I'm just kinda scared to get stuck with just pistols for PMC until I can get a scav run through lol

#

Makes sense to YOLO it all and learn tho

neon vigil
#

I am currently on my last gun and 14k roubles. if i lose it now, I will be forced to scav and wait

#

part of the learning process

dire epoch
#

Are kill quests like the scav kills one only for PMCs. Do they not count on scav?

neon vigil
#

I am honestly not sure. probably pmc only

dire epoch
#

Kk

#

Thanks :D

silver hornet
#

They're PMC only.

#

The only quests you can do as a scav are getting items to hand in for quests.

gloomy heart
#

im sat at the crossroads extract but not extracting?

#

and i have it

devout remnant
#

that extract is kinda weird move around it

gloomy heart
#

ah yes ty

#

i had a labs keycard on scav then wasnt letting me extract xD

devout remnant
#

oh shit nice

gloomy heart
#

i should wait to sell on flea market yh?

devout remnant
#

i mean

#

probably yeah

#

you could go for cheeky labs run but

#

meh

gloomy heart
#

i get way to nervous xD

You go in labs like pestily with a pp19 and kill 4 raiders and get out

Do i need to heal fractures or can i just wait?

desert hull

@marble blade in game or after a raid?

@paper flame that also means usually you're in someone's sights

@desert hull after raid

it will heal eventually

Does dying in raid with found in raid items maintain their status or in order to leave with found in raid items you must have 1k xp?

gentle stratus
#

no it doesn't maintain their status. You must survive with the items to make them FIR

silver hornet

One of my friends said otherwise

unkempt solar
#

im not finding this new audo setting

ooh its called binuarl

Which prapor quest do I do? Shootout picnic or delivery from the past?

desert hull

@static lance you need to do both but shootout is easier

How come i did not get XP when i did a scav run then extracted?

static lance
#

@bold kernel You get scav xp, it doesn't go to your pmc.

bold kernel
#

Oh ok

paper flame
#

Tfw you have to leave an 1800/1800 Grizzly pack in the Jaegar stash because the scav you spawned in on didn't have a backpack

ok so how the fuck these players always shoot me in back?

#

i call bs

silver hornet
#

what

#

why is people shooting you in the back "bs" @marble blade

marble blade

because i outsmart one guy and next you know there is someone else conviniently camping 20 minutes on bushes

#

not shooting one round entire time i take to go around the area

finally home and patched. pretty new to tarkov and brand new to discord. just wanted to say hello

Trading 24-23 use rb-bk for a 24-23 use rb-vo key.

#

@unborn lark 10m wait time is average atm AFAIK

unborn lark
#

thats fine, i got my switch and civ 6 riding shotgun

strong barn
#

@unborn lark We could Smash while we wait for lobbies lol

unborn lark
#

im the one switch owner without smash lol

strong barn
#

It's okay Im the one switch owner without Animal Crossing 🤮

unborn lark
#

haha, got that for my daughter and found myself kind of enjoying it

dire epoch
#

My wife has like 600+ hours in the new Animal Crossing lol

unborn lark
#

im ashamed so i got tarkov immediately to raise my testosterone levels back

strong barn
#

absolutely feel the estrogen if I played Animal Crossing

unborn lark
#

my goal was to get my daughter into gaming tho and it worked!

dire epoch
#

Ah it's not that bad. It's nice and relaxing if you're in the mood for that sorta thing

unborn lark
#

now ive got a co-conspirator to help bug my wife for us to spend more $$ on gaming stuff

#

gotta get the 5 year old to bed before i can play though. off to do just that see you in game

zealous knot
#

is clorine worth looting/keeping? how bout survL lighter and bug spray? im assuming dfuel and nacl still worth a lot of money

dire epoch
#

What is "Run Through" status?

zealous knot
#

you didnt get enough experience via looting/killing/surviving so you get a exp penalty. and doesnt count as a completed run on stats. certain quests need a complete run. not a big deal on last patch...not sure about this one

nocturne bough
#

does the praper shotgun have to be found in raid?

shadow edge
#

Is anyone else not able to retrieve their new years gift from last wipe?

thick harness
#

I didnt get mine yet

zealous knot
#

it will say find in raid on quest if it cant be bought off flea

#

its under profile on tarkov website. then claim holiday gift

shadow edge
#

Yea I know, it's not there anymore

#

I claimed it last patch

zealous knot
#

mine was all the way on the bottom. it was a picture of a p90 and an item box or something. didnt look like a clickable thing

shadow edge
#

I only see my EOD pre-order bonus

#

Might have to go for a good ol' support ticket

zealous knot
#

trizip doesnt have speed penalty anymore?

strong barn
#

ITS WEIGHT RELATED NOW

#

sry caps lock

gentle stratus
#

I have a found in raid g phone x. I love it

desert hull
#

@zealous knot that system was scrapped, its based on your weight

#

higher weight makes your sprint take longer to activate and slows stam recovery

zealous knot
#

ok ok i see

vital mortar
#

Too much weight will make you slower, way too much weight will drain your stamina by walking, and only recover when you stand still

hearty stratus
#

anyone want to group up and help a new player out?

vale wave
#

is the 12x70 Led Slug a decent ammo

#

Or should I take buckshot

dire rock
#

Buckshot spreads and does moderate damage with pellets and slugs are semi-accurate high damage with one projectile

#

Since neither can penetrate much I recommend buckshot and go for headshots

vale wave
#

thx

dire epoch
#

as a new player should I be buying paca armor and ssh helmets or saving my money?

vital mortar
#

paca and ssh will save your life from them pistol runners, and the lower tiers ammo many are using

gentle stratus
#

Yo was anyone just a mosling on reserves. Because if you were friendly to a random bear near scav lands. you saved me and my team mate near sewer manhole.

simple frost
#

So, how much would a grizzly FAK cost at the Flea Market?

vital mortar
#

grizzly around 35k

simple frost
#

Thanks.

vital mortar
#

Not worth much anymore with post healing

strong barn
#

All of you using post raid healing are losing out on a lot of Health points to your Health Skill but don't listen to me; keep using the post raid heal 🤷

desert hull
#

@strong barn way less expensive though

#

and you dont get XP from healing in stash anyway

#

think you need to at least be in hideout?

strong barn
#

Arguable the difference really

#

If its more expensive; that extra money can be thought about going directly into your heal stat

desert hull
#

I don't think the stats that important early wipe

#

later on maybe

strong barn

Hello everyone, I read online that in the past if you had a gamma container you could gift it to a friend by dropping it in raid and then refresh your account so that both of you could have a gamma. Is this still possible? and if it is what is BSG stance on this? can you get banned for doing this or they simply don't care?

bold kernel
#

Yuh I took out a squad of two guys with one

shadow willow
#

Essentially I would like to gift a gamma to a friend if I can but I won't do it if I can get in trouble for it

bold kernel
#

And Micosil if you abuse the system like that for sure you getting banned

#

So I probably wouldn't

shadow willow
#

Sounds good @bold kernel that answers my question I won't do it then. Its just that it depends on the game sometimes there are minor things that the devs don't care about but other times they are outspoken about it.
Just as an example in POE trading between leagues is not really disallowed anywhere but they dev are pretty clear that that is a banable offence

half jackal
#

@bold kernel @shadow willow not bannable, just frowned upon by community iirc, anyway they removed the ability to drop secure containers so its no longer possible

shadow willow
#

Fair enough if you can't drop it then I guess it is a moot point xD and I guess the dev's made their position clear by not letting you drop it.
Thanks for the info @half jackal @bold kernel

bold kernel
#

No problem man hope you and your friend enjoy the game

shadow willow
#

likewise 🙂

abusing the system typically isn't a bam

using 3rd party software to abuse the system is def a ban

Not really a specifically beginner question, but my game (and computer) both just crashed simultaneously pretty hard, and now the launcher is telling me the game isnt installed. I just found this, which seems to indicate otherwise, but i cant physically find the game on my HDD or SSDs. Is there ANY way for me to find the game or do I have to reinstall it.

#

I'm really skeeved out that reinstalling the game will reset my progress because the launcher made me login again.

twin apex
#

Your progress is tied to your account

#

The account is on their servers not on your computer, so dont worry you wont lose progress :)

#

As for finding the game, I'd say the best bet is to use a tool like windirstat to see what takes up space on ur drive and maybe you'll find ur tarkov installation

@stone yarrow could be wrong because I haven't run the numbers in a while, but what therapist charges you vs what it costs to heal with a salewa kit, you get a tremendous discount.

#

My game takes forever to exit matches etc, Tarkov is installed in my SSD, why this happens and how to fix it?
@brazen owl Not gonna lie, right now the servers are kind of shit again. I don't know if you were here back in November/December but there was a recurring meme that got posted pretty regularly with "Tarkov hours of operation" and it gave the game 24 hours a day every day M-F and then TOTALLY closed on Saturday and Sunday. For most of January and mid February, myself and most other people couldn't play on the weekends for at least 4 hours each day, and this was before coronavirus and the stay at home orders. It feels like the servers are under tremendous strain right now....cant particularly say why because it felt like they fixed this back in March.

#

based off your specs its not your PC, unless you have one of the worst SSDs on the market.

#

Regardless, my PC is a good deal better than yours and it still takes wayyyyyyyyyyyy too long to queue and get in raids.

#

another thing ive noticed too, regardless of if you go scav or PMC, if you go with more than 2 right now the spawns are almost totally random. Eg, I spawn at Emercon checkpoint (one of the Interchange exfils) and my boy spawns in at Idea (which is the entire length of the map apart.)

brazen owl
#

But my issue is not waiting to get in matches, its after finishing one or clicking "back" while on matching, it takes forever to load menu again

solemn pike
#

Overall,right now in my experience the game is really funky in most aspects. If you read what I just posted, the game totally crashed on me and now its saying its not installed even.

#

As for finding the game, I'd say the best bet is to use a tool like windirstat to see what takes up space on ur drive and maybe you'll find ur tarkov installation
@twin apex Cant find it in file explorer, im probably boned, buy why is the game showing up here

So my friend got me tarkov as a gift, and I've been enjoying it as much as I can, but I feel like it's a bit too much for me.

It happens for everyone in the beginning, it just take patience and experience

muted juniper
#

or just watch some gameplay or tutorials so you get an idea of what to do

solemn pike
#

@tawny grotto word okay. I was struggling pretty bad with this game for 6 months, and then I figured out a bunch of stuff and now im a million times better than before.

Number 1 thing im gonna tell you. In most FPS games there is a best gun that dominates the meta. Cuz of the bullets system, its not like that with this game. All the guns are basically equal in lethality with the right bullets. I used to think that you buy the best armor you can afford and skimp out on bullets. Its actually the opposite.

muted juniper
#

rule 1 of tarkov

#

dont use cheap ammo

craggy bough
#

i have some questions about hideout

solemn pike
#

was using PS rounds for close to 5 months,and that was well after the wipe. Right now you can get away with PS ammo cuz hardly anyone has good armor.

muted juniper
#

ok

vital mortar
#

Shoot off your question

muted juniper
#

ps ammo for what caliber?

#

762 or 545?

solemn pike
#

after say like Tuesday of next week, youre gonna want ammo that penetrates up to class 3. There's already people at level 18, most of them are wearing good armor.

craggy bough
#

what good is electric motors? can you use them in hideout

#

or a graphics card

solemn pike
#

7.62 x 59

vital mortar
#

guessing 762

muted juniper
#

762 ps isnt that bad but 545 ps is trash

solemn pike
#

Really doesnt matter the caliber, PS ammo has almost zero penetration. Like I said before, they work for today. I doubt they work after tuesday.

silver hornet
#

545 PS ain't bad THIS early

muted juniper
#

both electric motors and graphics cards are very valuable

vital mortar
#

Electric motors are used for quite a few hideout upgrades. Graphic cards are for bitcoin farm

solemn pike
#

@craggy bough What level are you at right now?

craggy bough
#

so just sell them?

silver hornet
#

Electric motors are like 20-40k to Therapist

muted juniper
#

i think motors are used for some hideout stuff

craggy bough
#

3

muted juniper
#

but graphics cards are used for some later quests and later hideout upgrades

vital mortar
#

you need 9 motors in total for hideout

muted juniper
#

tbh if i were you id sell all of them

silver hornet
#

7.62 PS has no pen
lol

solemn pike
#

huh, I had an answer before but now im conflicted. I wouldve said sell both of them to therapist right now, but doing the quests helps you level up faster.

muted juniper
#

the quests that you need the gpus for are pretty late tho

solemn pike
#

Sure, but theres nothing to buy with money that's actually decent until your level 10 now.

muted juniper
#

the money is more important at this stage in the wipe

craggy bough
#

exactly

silver hornet
#

7.62x39 PS and a 20k SKS. Ez.

muted juniper
#

but i guess it depends how much money you already have

solemn pike
#

How do you figure? You get to level 10 and then suddenly,playing the game becomes viable.

#

Getting to level 10 should be everyone's goal right now above all else!

muted juniper
#

why

silver hornet
#

Flea market

craggy bough
#

i'm just gonna try to update my hideout

muted juniper
#

fair

craggy bough
#

get salawas farming i guess

silver hornet
#

Getting a working headset + not having shit internet is my goal right now, otherwise I'd be playing the fuck out of this game

#

I already got my Salewa quest done

muted juniper
#

but i think lvl 2 traders is more important since flea market got nerfed

#

i need 4 more salewas

#

and 1 more mp133

solemn pike
#

nerfed? whatta you mean

silver hornet
#

FIR changes.

muted juniper
#

you can only sell found in raid items

faint coral
#

where you guys trying to farm the salewas?

silver hornet
#

the hideout lmao

muted juniper
#

med stores on interchange

faint coral
#

i was doing customs but now im going to try reserve

muted juniper
#

or you can just craft them

#

if you have fuel

bold kernel
#

Who has skier level 2?

muted juniper
#

but i cant find any fuel so rip

silver hornet
#

Go to Reserve for fuel, fuel is EVERYWHERE there.

solemn pike
#

I actually hadn't really considered that. Right now im not doing loot runs im tryna do gear runs. But you kinda got a point.

muted juniper
#

reserv is spoopy

#

ic is spoopy too tho

solemn pike
#

Ill run Interchange with you? I know it like the back of my hand.

bold kernel
#

Looking for someone with skier level 2

silver hornet
#

I'd run Reserve with you but, refer to the aforementioned issues.

#

Why do you need Skier lvl 2?

strong jolt
#

@half plank FYI restarting fixed the rig bug thing

muted juniper
#

id be down to run ic or reserve

#

i know ic a little

#

ive never played on reserve tho

#

tbh reserve seems pretty simple

silver hornet
#

Kinda

#

It has a fuck ton of loot everywhere, but it has some whacky extractions + Scav boss and raiders

muted juniper
#

yea the extracts seem weird

silver hornet
#

Yeah, you pretty much need a RR and paracord for consistent safe extracts.

muted juniper
#

and even then you have to ditch your armor right?

#

or you could just not run a bp

silver hornet
#

Other than that, rat runs with big chest rigs to sewer manhole, the train (have fun waiting that long in a hotspot like trainyard), or hitting the bunker switch and tell everyone on the map where you're going.

#

You either take your armor off, or you wear an armored rig.

muted juniper
#

oh i didnt know rigs work

#

doesnt matter bc rr and paracord lol

silver hornet
#

yep

#

That's why everyone's farming Shturman rn

muted juniper
#

does he drop rr/paracord?

velvet bane
#

ye

silver hornet
#

He can occasionally spawn with an RR, and you could potentially find one in his box.

muted juniper
#

ok

solemn pike
#

It has a fuck ton of loot everywhere, but it has some whacky extractions + Scav boss and raiders
@silver hornet but if you are hurting for gear really badly like most people are, the raiders can make you very solid money and also gear you up until you get fleamarket.

silver hornet
#

yep that too

#

That's how people are already running around super kitted

solemn pike
#

so you made the raiders sound like a bad thing but theyre not. The only reason im tryna play Reserve right now is for the raiders.

#

I know theres much more loot but its too much of a bitch to get to it.

silver hornet
#

I wouldn't say I made them sound "bad", but if you're new and unfamiliar with raiders, it could be pretty spooky

solemn pike
#

Hide in the bunker nearest the traincar, there's a spot you cant be seen. Wait for the train to come in, blitz a raider grab his shit go inside and camp the train. youre out.

fallow anchor
#

Can anyone play rn? im new

solemn pike
#

but if you're new and unfamiliar with raiders, it could be pretty spooky
@silver hornet Sorry to be an asshole. Reserve is very clearly marketed as an endgame map. Even though I dont have gear, I think I have the knowledge to take them out.

silver hornet
#

ok then

solemn pike
#

@silver hornet ????

spring talon
#

semi new just want someone to help me get a budget gun that will do good

muted juniper
#

sks with 762 ps ammo

spring talon
#

ok

muted juniper
#

its not pretty

#

but it gets the job done

spring talon
#

what kinds of meds and gear should i bring?

muted juniper
#

im assuming you only have lvl 1 traders?

spring talon
#

yup

muted juniper
#

paca vest, ssh steel helmet

#

you dont really need a rig with the sks

spring talon
#

ok

muted juniper
#

and mbss bp ig

#

really could just use whatever bp you have

spring talon
#

ok

muted juniper
#

bandage, splint, painkillers, 2-3 ai-2s

spring talon
#

ok

#

thx

solemn pike
#

@spring talon I absolutely despise the front sight for the SKS, so heres an additional suggestion for you. You could roll a Hunter or an ADAR, both their front sights are a lot better...and you only have level 1 traders so its really difficult to replace that sight.

spring talon
#

ok

solemn pike
#

eventually youll probably go up to an M4 or 416. If you have mags for the ADAR it uses the same mags as both of them.

muted juniper
#

you can just remove the rear sight on the sks and its a lot easier to see

#

you cant buy a hunter or adar from lvl 1 traders

solemn pike
#

Absolute fact, but you do get them as scav pretty often.

spring talon
#

ok

solemn pike
#

and, this is an asspull but like 1/3rd of the scavs on Interchange have the ADAR.

muted juniper
#

yea if you get a better gun in the raid i would just use that

#

or from a scav run

solemn pike
#

I got....really weird scav spawn last night. Generally the gear I spawn in is 120k total,last night I got a DECKED out VSS.

desert hull
#

@muted juniper gun isnt accurate without the RS

muted juniper
#

it seems pretty good to me

desert hull
#

well you'd be wrong

muted juniper
#

some guns are, some arent

desert hull
#

you need both irons to have the bullet land where you're aiming

muted juniper
#

the aks and sks seem pretty accurate

desert hull
#

its especially apparant on AKs but its still there on any other ugn

#

no, go actually test this

#

the AK74u will not hit shit past 20m if you dont have both sights

#

its aiming up

muted juniper
#

i tested it with the sks yesterday

desert hull
#

then you tested poorly

#

guns need both irons to be accurate

muted juniper
#

my bullet would land right at the top of the front sight post

desert hull
#

because your character isnt looking through the sight correctly without both sights

muted juniper
#

yes i know how sights work

solemn pike
#

I never really liked the SKS. Maybe im wrong to criticize it but for the money you spend, id rather go up a little bit and get a Hunter or M1A.

#

like we all agreed an hour ago bullets are a lot more important than guns up to a certain point.

#

obviously a dude with a TT isn't generally gonna win against an M4, but once you get to actual SMG and rifle caliber MOST of it comes out in the wash.

granite hornet
#

Hi, I'm new to this game and I've been practing offline mode with ai enabled everything "as online". It's very discouraging currently because I still haven't made it to a simple extraction because every time I get in a scav fight, I have to basically fight until I'm dead, where I've killed 9 before

#

What am I doing wrong that the scavs constantly mob me?

tepid rock
#

is right now the wrong time to play tarkov? because i was excited for the wipe and people are just murdering me and my friends.

solemn pike
#

Are you going in without a weapon?

granite hornet
#

im going in with a pistol

shadow ridge
#

thats why

#

they target you if ur undergeared

bold kernel
#

Shame this game is so trash at times

tepid rock
#

@granite hornet get to cover, they will forget your location and lean to do headshots on scavs

desert hull
#

@tepid rock honestly just a git gud issue

bold kernel
#

Legit opened up on a dude sprayed him down with a Ak and he turns around and just sprays me with a pistol

#

Glad a pistol wins over AK in cqc

desert hull
#

@bold kernel has to do with aim and ammo

granite hornet
#

I dont understand, one of the youtube videos said to go in with pistol and minimum gear

bold kernel
#

I knkow

solemn pike
#

Consider the possibility of desync?

desert hull
#

pistol doesnt beat AK, he just beat you

bold kernel
#

But we literally were right in front of each other and the fact I lit him up

desert hull
#

you missed tho

granite hornet
#

@tepid rock I do do that, and yes pistol does beat ak

bold kernel
#

I didn't

desert hull
#

or you had shit ammo and he had armor

granite hornet
#

when you do what he said

bold kernel
#

Each round hit him

desert hull
#

doubt

granite hornet
#

its just i try to loot the scav i killed

muted juniper
#

i went into an offline raid to test the sks and my game just froze lol

bold kernel
#

Paca soaked up every shot

desert hull
#

ppl way overestimate their accuracy in this game

granite hornet
#

and it just chains into like 9 scav kills

bold kernel
#

Turbo shhh

desert hull
#

then stop using shitty AK ammo lol

granite hornet
#

where im bleeding out at the end

desert hull
#

thats on you

bold kernel
#

I grabbed it from a scav

solemn pike
#

I dont understand, one of the youtube videos said to go in with pistol and minimum gear
@granite hornet So you don't lose anything in offline mode. You should do offline raids with the same gear you plan to do real raids with.

bold kernel
#

Turbo I know I hit him and I am venting because I was doing just fine till pistol boy somehow beat me

desert hull
#

cause he could aim

#

and you had shit ammo

granite hornet
#

@solemn pike i plan to do raids with pistol

#

i did exactly the loadout i planned to go in with

bold kernel
#

Probably should have used my mosin you are right, but again the fact rate of fire wise

granite hornet
#

but the problem is the scavs

muted juniper
#

a pistol isnt gonna get you anywhere if you plan to kill anything

granite hornet
#

wont stop coming

bold kernel
#

Literally, but it's cool

granite hornet
#

i killed 9

#

scavs

desert hull
#

or aim better

#

you got to hit headshots if you're using shit ammo

granite hornet
#

how many do i have to kill then?

solemn pike
#

alright. Im gonna stop you right here. We are missing a ton of information. What map is it for one?

desert hull
#

or legmeta

granite hornet
#

because i do kill them

#

you guys arent listening

bold kernel
#

Turbo I'm venting and you want to act like you are the best guy at this game

granite hornet
#

customs

bold kernel
#

I haven't even seen you before so I'm sure you are new

granite hornet
#

i kill them

#

try to loot them

desert hull
#

im just saying its a fakevent

granite hornet
#

oh theres another

#

kill them

#

try to loot them

#

oh theres another

bold kernel
#

I know how the game goes, but I will vent

granite hornet
#

x10

#

every time

muted juniper
#

turbo let him vent

solemn pike
#

Why are you looting scavs in offline mode?

desert hull
bold kernel
#

And if you want to play the cool kid that's fine just know I will make fun of you

desert hull
#

yeah im new

solemn pike
#

you dont keep your shit.

bold kernel
#

Yea I will call you new
