probably just validate files and stuff

you can craft 8.5 in your workbench

[pure talon]

oh, you're talking shotguns, I was about to ask for an advice on a build

I need sth rather inexpensive to shoot buckshot at scavs

definitely don't want to break a bank on sniper saiga

[bold kernel]

8.5 mm buckshot lul

you can craft it for really cheap

and it 1 taps to the head

if you hit 1 pellet

[pure talon]

I'm not asking about ammo but the gun.

[bold kernel]

o

[lapis mauve]

stock saiga with a cobra is like 30k, but bring a triton so you can have lots of 5 rounders

[bold kernel]

saigas are nice

that or an mp-133 with a 6 rounder tube

25 ish k idk

[lapis mauve]

153

[pure talon]

I have access to lvl3 and can spend up to 100k on a build.

[bold kernel]

oh

do you hvae 3 jaeger?

[pure talon]

lvl1, I never trade with him :/

I can buy off flea market tho

not an issue

[bold kernel]

if you have flea, you can again make a good saiga, or you can mod out a mp-153 with an 8 rounder tube

id take the 153 just to save invin spacce

[pure talon]

I don't need meta build, but I actually never played with shotguns in this game so I don't know the difference and what to look for.

[bold kernel]

saigas the best shotgun but you have 5 rounder mags for it

[lapis mauve]

should be able to make this (i use this but with a better muzzle and a drum)

[pure talon]

long barrel, silencer, 8 rounder and a stock

[bold kernel]

yea

[pure talon]

nice!

[lapis mauve]

about 55k

[bold kernel]

you can use the 10 rounders for the saiga if you have an alpha rig

[pure talon]

I have TV x)

[lapis mauve]

tv-110 too

[bold kernel]

oo

[raven gazelle]

looking for someone who can help me with the guide quest im struggling with it on my own

[lapis mauve]

technically aacpc but it only holds 2

[queen kiln]

Is reserve the only good map for money?

or is there others that are like equal essentially

[bold kernel]

interchange is

@raven gazelle go to the lfg or sum

[lapis mauve]

guide can be hard

[bold kernel]

im only helping my friend with the guide

lots of time to do it all

[raven gazelle]

@bold kernel im looking for assistance tho

[bold kernel]

beginers assistance here

your prolly lv 40

[lapis mauve]

don't die

[bold kernel]

^

[lapis mauve]

be a rat, hide and sneak around

[bold kernel]

i dont really wanan spend like 1.5 hours helping a stranger out

id personaly start with labs to get the hard stuff done

then its a breeze

[raven gazelle]

@lapis mauve didnt help

[lapis mauve]

and labs is a lottery of getting killed by a hacker

[pure talon]

cmon, what's so hard about the guide?

[bold kernel]

you have to survive every map in a row

[lapis mauve]

labs

[queen kiln]

you have to survive like 8 maps bro

[bold kernel]

if you die once you restart

[mighty frost]

I killed Rashala and his guards for the first time

[pure talon]

interchange, shoreline and woods you can just hug the wall all run around the map to the extract

[bold kernel]

i did it on my first try after i got the good labs run

[lapis mauve]

last wipe i did it in 1 try but i think i got lucky

[bold kernel]

you shoulda took all their mags instead of the guns @mighty frost, they are filled with bt

[mighty frost]

I used most of it

[pure talon]

you may need help on factory or reserve but even customs you can run around and avoid players

[bold kernel]

i think bt prices crashed though so idk if it would be as profitable

[mighty frost]

I killed 3 PMCs

I was caniablizing the mags

[bold kernel]

👏

[pure talon]

actually the wisest play would be to leave the guns and just strip attachments

[mighty frost]

best raid this wipe by far

well

ill do that next time

[bright apex]

lmao fuck me

[mighty frost]

I was kinda just hyped after killing all his guards and 3 pmcs

so i just crammed it all in my bag and ran

[lapis mauve]

usually i do that, stick a gun on my back and take the mods/helmets/maybe a rig

[pure talon]

sure mate, that's definitely a milestone!

[bright apex]

i'm so bad at this game 😛

[lapis mauve]

my buddy always takes guns

[raven gazelle]

@mighty frost if ur under lvl 10 then take the guns cos its hard to get good weapons

[bright apex]

somehow hit the button for my hatchet and couldnt get my gun back out lmao

[mighty frost]

I'm 24

[raven gazelle]

nvm then

[pure talon]

just saying, if you have four guns lying around and you can't decide which one to pick you can probably strip attachments from all of them and make the most profit

[mighty frost]

First wipe though

Okay I'

I'll do that next time

[bright apex]

but in good news i realized just now that i can die and my scav kills still count. i thought i had to escape for them to count

[pure talon]

(I never take shotguns from dead scavs but I always collect their flashlights for instance)

[mighty frost]

Yeah

The sprut

Fits 3 flashlights

[pure talon]

🙂

[mighty frost]

One of the guards had a Gen 4

But it was shredded

@pure talon Should I strip the attachments and sell them on fleat?

flea*

[pure talon]

if you don't want to run these guns then definitely

[mighty frost]

Yeah

[pure talon]

I was actually doing rat runs on customs and taking those weapons from rashala and his boys for my pmc

I was sporting very similar build

but if that's not your cup of tea and you have access to flea then yeah

also it's good to first check with mechanic if the price on flea is actually higher

sometimes mechanic will buy for 5k, while flea is 6k (minus tax) and it's (imho) not worth it so I sell directly to vendor

[mighty frost]

Yeah

Sometimes people sell under the vendor price

[pure talon]

sometimes it's like mechanics gives 14k and when you check on flea there are people selling it for 10k - I always insta buy then as many as I can and instantly sell them to vendor

[mighty frost]

So I'll buy them and sell them to the vendor

[pure talon]

shaving few more thousands on ttop

[mighty frost]

Because vendor buys them for more than I paid

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pure talon]

but there are parts that are either popular (like rk-1 grip) or/and part of meta builds that costs 5k at vendor but goes on flea for 40k... or even 100k if they are part of quest for instance

[mighty frost]

Yeah thats what I do

Sell gunsmith stuff for really high prices

[pure talon]

I bought yesterday sth for 100k from flea market because I needed it for mechanics quest, but if I would have access to the vendor it would only cost me ~10k

[mighty frost]

Yeah thats what I do

Free market capitalism 😎

[pure talon]

Exactly.

[bright apex]

lmao 2 deaths in and my stash is looking a lot lighter already

[rigid fiber]

Hey guys, I could use some help, I have a more than capable system for tarkov and my game runs at 60-80 FPS average but I constantly get massive frame drops. I have tried every optimisation/stability tip I can find and have even re installed the game onto my SSD but I still get the drops. Any advice?

[pure talon]

have you tried to enable "ram cleaner" option?

this game suffers from terrible memory leaks

@lapis mauve

[bright apex]

sigh... this run i killed 2 bears and 1 usec but no scavs and then i got killed -_-

scav kill quests are the worst

[bold kernel]

They pretty easy to me

[lunar brook]

Is there a way to refill fuel tanks? If not its weird that Fence sells me an empty one

[pure talon]

empty one is good for crafting ammo case

and 3 ammo cases makes a scav box

[tawdry oriole]

anyone wanna help me get a docs case?

[pure talon]

sure

@tawdry oriole

[tawdry oriole]

i wanna make a bit more case before i buy it lol

[pure talon]

you're welcome

[tawdry oriole]

thanks,

[lapis mauve]

eh, railed handguard and foregrip isn't worth the price if you are going for budget imo. if you have mechanic 4 this muzzle device is worth it. even on flea it might be better than handguard+foregrip for the price

yeah, gk-02+handguard+rk-0 is 19k for -18% recoil. monster claw is 22k (on flea, 9k from mechanic) for -24% recoil

[tiny stirrup]

what does style in the sherpa request mean?

[lapis mauve]

i think its the way you like to play, slow, aggressive, snipey, etc. but i've not looked at it so idk

[tiny stirrup]

do you guys usually get sherpa's through this discord or through the actual website?

[lapis mauve]

i think you get them on the website or maybe sherpa hub discord

[bright apex]

well i've got 5 active quests now instead of 2

so at least i can take a break from woods 😛

[bold kernel]

Hello! I have just picked up Escape From Tarkov, and was wondering if anyone had some generic tips. I have been playing for a few hours grinding Woods, going down one path every time, and I just feel like there is more to the game than that, but I just don't know how to get there. Any tips, even the most obvious ones would be very helpful!
Also if this is the wrong chat I apologize, I wasn't certain whether this would be in Beginners-Chat or Beginners-Assistance.

Don't die

[stone moss]

Survive and aim for the head

[tropic gyro]

Use your scav runs as much as you can, you can practise that way.

[open garden]

Ok so im starting to go broke. Does anyone mind telling me/showing me what their money run raids look like?

[dry anvil]

@open garden not dying in reserve

[idle halo]

Don't use anything in inventory, do scav runs, and if you do the pmc go low low gear

[bold kernel]

Buy a shit ton of keys don't die use budget guns such as 74m and hunter

[unique oasis]

who should i turn chemical part 4 into to...

[lapis mauve]

skier if you use zsh helmet, otherwise therapist gives a medcase

[bold kernel]

how do I get screws for workbench easily

[potent tusk]

The quest Setup is such cancer

WeAr A UsHanKa

[long creek]

BT 5.45 Rounds for this (I'm lvl 7)

Can I use better, yes or nah

[dire rock]

what do you mean?

[bold kernel]

how do you guys understand the map spawn location and know where you're at?

[unique oasis]

just getting familiar with surroundings and knowing where youre gunna come up on a landmark

[hot zenith]

spawn locations are opposite to your extract location

[bold kernel]

ah

[hot zenith]

the extract that's always open

[unique oasis]

that too its always opposite

[bold kernel]

Yeah

I appreciate it

[unique oasis]

run offline too

with a map up

and just run around

[bold kernel]

yeah Im not really new, it's just the map memorization

I suck at it

especially customs lol

[rough hare]

customs is one of the easiest to remember in my opinion(only one easier for me is factory)

[unreal imp]

All of the maps are pretty simple to remember somewhat well

[rough hare]

@bold kernel have you seen the pestily map guides

[bold kernel]

personally I like shoreline

No I have not

[urban galleon]

Just installing the game.. anyone want to do a walkthrough with me once done?

[bold kernel]

What exactly do you need?

[urban galleon]

Just basic knowledge as to what to look for when looting, what to stay clear of..

[bold kernel]

I'll try it out @rough hare

ah

[strong barn]

@urban galleon I recommend you start watching youtube videos

[urban galleon]

alright

[strong barn]

Knowledge is power in this game; aiming is like 20% of the game

[urban galleon]

yeah, I got the aim. just lack the knowledge of this game lol

[strong barn]

The shooting mechanics of this game do not include bloom or 'artifical recoil' so to speak

Big difference from PUBG; COD; Fortnite etc

[bold kernel]

yes

[urban galleon]

I've played DayZ

[bold kernel]

pure aim and spray

[urban galleon]

but not Arma

[strong barn]

Tarkovs system is also different that DayZ

[bold kernel]

Arma has a different spray than tarkov

[urban galleon]

I can imagine

[strong barn]

In DayZ the bullet comes out of your character; not the gun
In tarkov your Character is an Avatar with skills and stats (think World of Warcraft) that make him unique based on how you play the game overtime
The shooting recoil is controlled by your PMC so you don't have to 'pull down' on the mouse

He will compensate for you; it takes a bit of getting used too

[urban galleon]

ah alright. good to know, thank you. I'm gonna try watching a few youtube videos

[bold kernel]

what channel would i have the best luck in finding someone to play with? im lvl 6

#pvp-lfg

@bold kernel

thanks

[desert hull]

@strong barn CoD doesn't have "bloom" or "artifical recoil" either though?

[bold kernel]

dosent it

ok i have 800k

and i need a 150k load out

[uncut pelican]

ok i have 1.7 mil

and i need a 200k loudout

[somber hound]

How do i know the difference between scavs and real ppl

[bold kernel]

meta rpk

wdym @somber hound

like player scavs or player players

[somber hound]

just non npc

[desert hull]

@bold kernel no

[bold kernel]

they run around alot

[desert hull]

@somber hound between PMCs and Scavs

[bold kernel]

they tend to have better gear

[desert hull]

or between player scavs and AI scavs

[bold kernel]

look at their pathing when they are moving around

[somber hound]

Between real players and npcs

[bold kernel]

npc's tend to stop and look around a lot and stand around one area

[somber hound]

perfect thanks

[desert hull]

thats not what was asked, read the prompt @somber hound

[bold kernel]

if a person is running to a contested area then they prolly a pmc

[desert hull]

Between PMCs and Scavs

or between Player scavs and AI Scavs

[bold kernel]

pmc scavs

&

[keen kelp]

hye could someone help me out with some early quests

[velvet mason]

NPC dont have a pouch slot so after u kill a scav u can always tell if it was a player if there IS a pouch slot pmc or scav player this will help you reference @somber hound

and ai scavs are usually in the same areas

also u will begin to hear the voice lines differences

[bold kernel]

@velvet mason thank you thats very helpful

Hey could anyone help me out - do I need to do Mentor (turn 50k euro to peacekeeper) for kappa?

[chrome ibex]

According to the wiki yes

[lime willow]

For those bright light spots on walls, its hard to see your 1x sight red dots, is there a fix for this or a different sight I could use?

[vale wave]

Hey I've been connecting to a raid for 18 minutes now, restarted the game a few times but it always gets stuck at awaiting session start. I want to at the very least reconnect so I don't go awol but I can't get in 😦

Any ideas?

[tiny stag]

Hi all, I need to kill an hour at work, any good tarkov written guides besides the handbook by AngryCentrifuge (I've read it and it was great) to read?

im low level

[tiny stag]

Surpsied AngryCentrifuge isn't in the discord

[lime willow]

Low levels are kinda out of luck regarding sights

For the Survivalist Path: Junkie, I'm using morphine and it's not counting the kills after like 30 seconds after using it

is it bugged or is it the morphine

[charred spindle]

anyone wanna play im new and could use some tips

[opaque garnet]

Goddamn, I don't understand why I'm so bad at this game.

[lime willow]

its either shooting, or choosing when to shoot

i have problems with the latter, and i get engaged while my brain cogs are turning

[bold kernel]

@hot zenith use propitol

lasts for way longer

[opaque garnet]

Nah, I'm really bad with tactics and similar, I think. Like knowing where to go, where to be looking, what routes PMCs will be taking. Also having a tough time with hearing in general but also with direction (left, right, up, down)

I'm an ok shot, but with crap guns and ammo I probably shouldn't be shooting at all, except for scavs I guess.

[remote zealot]

would it be worth grinding cheapo runs to get to level 10 for flea market?

[hot zenith]

do quests, play normally

[remote zealot]

alright, thanks

[tiny stag]

hey guys, I'm lvl 31. what are the best gun barters i should be using?

this time ima rush it with big dick energy

[still quartz]

guys , is eu servers really shitty lately

i have been having bad ping andd disconnects every 2 minutes

[silent temple]

I've had a lot of desync and a couple DCs, nothing as frequent as you though

[prisma stirrup]

Never had disconnects in the past few weeks on eu and never hsd bad ping in a while

[tiny stag]

@silent temple what are your favourite barters to use?

[languid flare]

@tiny stag In short: look at Mech's and Prapors barter and see if they are good for you. 😛

[silent temple]

I don't do many barters tbh.. The grenade ones are good

[tiny stag]

Ooh kk will do changeling. Ty both

[silent temple]

People like the recbatt -> adar barter from skier

[languid flare]

Well, thats just an easy money maker

14 k -> 22/23k

[proper apex]

can you buy dogtags on flea?

[languid flare]

Not currently, no

[bold kernel]

Really?

I swear I've seen them there last wipe

[languid flare]

Really really

'Last wipe'
Uhm... thats been 2 months

[bold kernel]

Yeah

[languid flare]

Including flea changes

[bold kernel]

Alright, thanks.

[proper apex]

can I turn in quest items one at a time?

ex. skier's first quest I need to hand him 4 shotguns and 4 bodyarmor

[languid flare]

Doesnt need to be all 4 together

[proper apex]

I can't turn in this 6b2 armor to skier

does it have to be a specific kind of armor?

[languid flare]

Needs to be 3m

[west bison]

yes

the white ones

yea 3ms

[languid flare]

Like the Quest tells you
'The shitty white ones'

[west bison]

and the shotguns need to be toz

[proper apex]

What are the “shitty white ones”?

[west bison]

the 3m armor

[languid flare]

We literally said what it is >.<

[proper apex]

I thought you meant an armor worth 3m

[bold kernel]

Yeah bro

Level 7

Full body energy shield

[languid flare]

http://puu.sh/G81Du/d526cc229f.jpg

Yeah, sure. Armor worth 3million
4 times 😛

[bold kernel]

3m is cheap this wipe

[languid flare]

Just this late
Start it was 100k+

[bold kernel]

Last wipe I remember it costing a shitton

Yeah

[proper apex]

Do you need to pay money to put an item up for sale on flea?

[west bison]

yes

[toxic herald]

Its just a little fee

Depends on what and how many you are selling

[languid flare]

and for how much

[proper apex]

is it possible to do mechanic's first quest with all the traders being LL1?

[silent temple]

If you find everything in raid, yeah

[bold kernel]

^

I'm struggling hard with the choke but I have a buddy who found one in raid

[silent temple]

I frequently see the alternate one, the GK-02, whether it is found with the adapter or not i can't remember

[bold kernel]

Seriously? Man.

[silent temple]

I can drop you the attachments you need in raid if you want?

[bold kernel]

No I'll get it from my buddy next raid

Ty

[dapper briar]

how much does flea market charge when you sell things?

[novel sundial]

too much

[languid flare]

@dapper briar This much:
http://puu.sh/G82Kj/5b6cf4ea90.jpg

Have fun

[dapper briar]

the fuck

thank you anyway

[languid flare]

Its not as simple as '10%' like it is for Insurance
It depends on what it is, how long, for how much you put it on, what its base price and average price is....

[dapper briar]

i mean

fair enough

but im retarted when it comes to math

[languid flare]

I mean, I dont dont get the details either, but I know the basic fact off: If you make something too expensive, it will cost more fee

[native vessel]

Boys

Does anyone know an alteernative build for the m4 so I don't have to put a REAP-IR on the m4 for the last gunsmith part

[vernal anchor]

You mean the one that specially asks for a thermal scope

[native vessel]

yes

[tiny stag]

hey guys I keep getting stuck on "synchronizing with other players 100%" today, anyone know of any fixes? I just alt f4 out but idk how to prevent

[native vessel]

But I have the other thermal in my inventory too I have a REAP-IR too I just kinda want to cheapskate it

should I just toss on a RS-32 @vernal anchor

[vernal anchor]

Well flir is -5 ergo so maybe if the build is close enough to 67 then it may work

Dunno if flir can be used though

Reap is -4 ergo with the mount

[native vessel]

currently I'm 3 ergo off and 30 recoil over

[pearl carbon]

hi im new just literally got the game need some help i know some of the basic

[native vessel]

@vernal anchor I had the wrong Upper reciever

[wanton tendon]

anyone need some peeps to play with? have some experienced players willing to help.

[vernal anchor]

Yeah that Mur-15 has great stats

[wanton tendon]

any 18+ NA new players need help? message me.

[native vessel]

@vernal anchor Why is this not good enough

[vernal anchor]

Guess you need the reap

[native vessel]

yeah

[vernal anchor]

Good to know for sure though

[native vessel]

to be fair, I got the reap back

with the M4 reward

But two REAP's are better than one

[wise stream]

when im looking for em, i cant find hdd's, but when im looking elsewhere for other things, boom

[silent temple]

So either way you can't find them 😛

[proper apex]

why is fence selling expensive weapons tf

how does fence work? his shit is so over priced

[native vessel]

@proper apex dont buy from fence and dont sell to him

[proper apex]

is he useless?

selling prices are low for me and his prices are high as fuck

[native vessel]

No, he gives you the Collector Quest once you complete all missions, but from selling / buying wise he is pretty useless

[proper apex]

but he was selling western weapons 5 min ago that I'm probably not supposed to be seeing at lvl 7

[native vessel]

The only reason you should be selling to him is when your armor is 0 durability and is not cost efficent to repair

[proper apex]

oh ok

[silent temple]

Oof just found a 7.62x51 DT MDR full of m61.. So glad weapon crates got buffed this wipe

[wise stream]

almost lvl 10, getting there

[rough hare]

@wise stream why do you want hdd's?

[wise stream]

To finish gunsmith pt 1

[warm ravine]

shotguns in this game are so fucking shit

[silent temple]

just do it alongside another quest

Get near the extract, dehydrate and wait

[potent tusk]

I fucking hate the setup quesdt

and of course everyone I run into has 500 round mags, never run out of ammo

[bold kernel]

dude anytime i bring in two mags its not enough i bring in 5 i only need 1

[rough hare]

just bring extra loose bullets in your container

[pure talon]

this

[tiny plaza]

me and a buddy bought the game yday and running interchange runs. what weapons should we be bringing? So far we just take a scav vest and an ak47u, v basic but should we buy a better one to begin with?

[pure talon]

just two spare mags and repack them after a fight

[gloomy knoll]

sks and ps ammo is great

[pure talon]

personally, when i'm broke i color code my mags, i have one spare with good ammo and one backup with less expensive one and i try to rotate between my main and my 1st spare and using 2nd spare in long fights

but that's a way to cheese out 40k a run, not really worth it if you have any money in pocket

[mossy linden]

Anyone looking to join a duo of noobs pm me need an extra battle buddy here we are good communicators

[bold kernel]

@mossy linden you still down

[mossy linden]

absolutely add me up on discord as friend @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

New account questing, anyone wanna join?

[ember ember]

i need help me played tarkov once

[compact hedge]

Question: for metabolism leveling, Do you get full exp for drink/eating even at full stomach in the raid? What about 99/100?

[simple echo]

@compact hedge yes, but there is a cap to what you gain in one raid

[silent temple]

I've heard differently

[quartz pendant]

I've never needed more than 3 mags

1 in gun two as backup

Usually 30 each

[silent temple]

I've heard it only gives you xp if you actually restore hydration/energy

[simple echo]

@silent temple you will always restore energy/hydration, may only be 1hp but if it's more than a few seconds between "meals" your energy/water will have dipped below max

[cloud rover]

I'm finally going to get EFT, and I will most likely use Amazon pay to get it, I'll probably get one of those giftcards, then from the site, what do i have to do?

Type in my email and that's it?

[glass crow]

Anyone want to assist me? I'm 100% new, From NA.

[slow vale]

@glass crow im down but im also fairly new

[rough hare]

is it worth buying a ledx for the hideout if I only have 2.1 mil?

[thick wing]

looking for someone to hang with. I am new and want to chill and hang out while learning a thing or two

[dense current]

I’m down @thick wing I’m really new as well and just as new at pc gaming too, just recently moved from console and haven’t had too much time to really get to learn everything so HMU if you want to squad up, I also don’t have a mic for the pc till Sunday..

[opal gust]

just killed 2 geared guys with a pistol in factory

very happy

one was level 46

[shy fable]

Do I need the skull for a quest?

[silent temple]

Feelsgood

Skull ring?

[shy fable]

yes

[silent temple]

I think so

[shy fable]

aight does it need FIR tag?

[silent temple]

Apparently its only barters and hideout, so sell it

[shy fable]

aight thanks

[mild wharf]

haha I have no idea what I'm doing

[royal horizon]

When you do scav run do you get xp for main character

[spice otter]

No, u do not.

[royal horizon]

ok

[languid flare]

You get XP for your Scav, which doesnt do anything (except skill xp)

[stone moss]

Kinda depends on what you have available and what you want to do, Juste.

[shadow mauve]

ur scav has his own lvls

[stone moss]

I make most of my money with a mosin or hunter and no armor camping somewhere so...

[shadow mauve]

pmc does not gain anything at all

[wise stream]

do i need this for a quest or something or can i just sell it to vendors?

or even keep for flea, if it fetches anything?

[hot zenith]

kappa quest

[queen kiln]

It's 15k on Flea rn @wise stream

[hot zenith]

must be fir

[smoky river]

what's the best scav case option to make money? moonshine seems to be pretty inconsistent

[proven citrus]

what does this icon mean?

[stone moss]

You got rekt

Forum mod I think

[proven citrus]

yeah fucking obviously, but what does the icon mean

[stone moss]

lol

[proven citrus]

aight

[opal gust]

best 556 round before level 10?

[stone moss]

m995

No matter your level, that still the best one =\

[opal gust]

where do you get it?

[stone moss]

Before then it is kinda a crap shoot at this point in wipe

craft and high level trade with PC. off dead people

you can run m855 or w/e but gotta shoot head/face

prob

Because it only goes through class 3

[opal gust]

m855 is prob just to dick around with some spare adars i got from scavs and barters

[proven citrus]

m855 or m856 are good choices too

[opal gust]

speaking of that, why are recbatts so cheap

[proven citrus]

anything lower than that isnt going to help much

[opal gust]

13k for an ar15?

[shy fable]

is the MCB needed for a quest?

[proven citrus]

@opal gust no idea, but i dont complain - cheap gun, throw in a lower receiver and youve got a full auto m4 for 30k

[opal gust]

oh shit can you get auto lowers before level 10?

[spice otter]

Nope, unless you buy them from fence if he has them in stock. Or if you find an M4.

[opal gust]

lets get this bread

[spice otter]

U goin customs?

[opal gust]

cant decide, i was thinking maybe reserve cause i know it better

gonna take a break from playing only factory

woods i think would be fun, i dont have a rr yet so reserve chad runs are hard

[spice otter]

No, listen here. Reserve has a new PMC extract called D-2

You hit a switch underground and head over to the extract that's located in the server rack room in the original tunnels.

[opal gust]

alright, ill try that one, just got a key to the weapons room in black pawn as well

[spice otter]

Also buy RB-VO, its the other marked key and its perrrtyy cheap

[opal gust]

I have the RB-TB is that good

[wise stream]

Time for me to start collecting .366 weapons

[plush spire]

does exp from scav go to your level?

[wise stream]

No

[plush spire]

ok

[wise stream]

Scabs have their own skills and such

[plush spire]

thanks

[wise stream]

Scav* stupid phone

[vale wave]

Can you put a foregrip on the VS-24?

[rough hare]

is m80 good?

[vale wave]

Yea

Just not against slicks

[shy fable]

wtf is happening

is anyone encountering the single fire bug

[vale wave]

Yea, have been for the past 3 months

[rough hare]

all of the ammo I got from that scav raid I posted (fal mags) was full of m80) so I thought I'd check

[vale wave]

it happens when you have multiple ammo types

[shy fable]

I died to a fucking scav because of this bug

I had rpk with 60 mag BS ammo

I kept firing and fired one single bullet

[vale wave]

I died like 3 times before I gave up and started using single fire guns only

vepyr hunter ❤️

[shy fable]

Nice

it happened to me twice this days

sometimes you hit left click

and there is a delay

[hot zenith]

it happens when you double click like

you tap and then hold down to full auto

it's replicable in the firing range

[arctic kraken]

what's the deal with the pickaxe why I can't be picked up like knifes ?

[spice otter]

What, you found the ice pick?

[glacial fiber]

@arctic kraken Bro the RR ?

[arctic kraken]

yes the alpinism thing

PMC I killed had it but it was grey and I wasn't able to take

[spice otter]

Ohhh.

You can't loot melee weapons from the scabbard off of PMCs.

[glacial fiber]

Yeah you cannot

[arctic kraken]

Ok thanks

Can a scav bot have the RR ?

[lapis mauve]

the boss on woods can

either on him or in his box that you unlock with his key

unless you are playing woods for fun though i'd just do the barter with jaeger later

[arctic kraken]

Woods is a place I haven't been to

[hot zenith]

is there any way to make the 6b43 quest cheaper

[lapis mauve]

what do you mean? like a cheaper way to buy them?

[hot zenith]

yeah

it's like a 800k investment

[lapis mauve]

naw, only way is go back in time to the start of the wipe when they were 200k or less

some quests are expensive

technically you could farm reshala/glukhar but i think that armor doesn't spawn on their guards that often

[hot zenith]

why are they cheaper earlier lol

shouldn't be the other way around?

[shadow mauve]

nobody had 800k to buy them erly wipe

same reason graphics cards were 80k

and i bought all 50 in first 3 days 🙂

[opal gust]

tarkov crashed due to "unknown error" and forced me to click exit game

[bold kernel]

mine did to

[spice otter]

It does that on a regular basis, its a broken game lol. Still love it

[opal gust]

just escaped reserve d2 with 1 energy and 4 water, 2 minutes left after disconnecting and getting lost in the bunker

my heart is thumping through my chest

[spice otter]

Ayyy, that's awesome

[opal gust]

ive had bad experiances in that bunker so i typically avoided it

pistolling meets 2 altyn p90 boys

[spice otter]

That's where I always hit, free loot if raiders are already ded, I just pick up leftovers.

[opal gust]

2 gutted raiders

they had nothing left

but that rush of the screen vignetting and the clock running out while trying to find the exit is crazy

[delicate wren]

thats where you truly find your highest heart rate

[bold kernel]

Discord

[wicked minnow]

Cute cat

[clever depot]

What's the best ak to mod for mid budget

[lethal seal]

if you want a cheap option go with the ak74m i believe. you can attach a pso or dovetail sight right to it

ive had a ton of luck with a simple ak74m with a pso and some bp rounds

[rough hare]

on a scale of 1-10, how kitted is this mpx, I got it and the Sa-58 next to it from pmc's and want to know how good they truly are

[vale wave]

Hey, when I try to move items from my scav to my inventory it just flashes, is all this juice gone?

[rough hare]

I have no clue sorry, that has never happened to me

[vale wave]

fuck, got some really good shit

[rough hare]

maybe somebody else will know?

[open lotus]

does smugglers boat close after someone else uses it

[rough hare]

yep

[river dove]

@rough hare 22 ver recoil?

NANI?

[rough hare]

I assume thats good

[river dove]

YES

[rough hare]

noice

[celest dagger]

The mpx always has no recoil

[river dove]

m4s have like 40 when you kit it out

yeah

[celest dagger]

22 is overkill at this point

[rough hare]

can I run the other gun by you guys?

got them from a duo

[celest dagger]

You can get more by adding rk2

Sure

[river dove]

not bad

[celest dagger]

Quite literally meta

Rk-2 would be better i think but only by 1-2 recoil points

[river dove]

still that mpx was using pst yuck

i can see why you killed them

m80 and pst

[rough hare]

nah, I oneshot both as they charged me xD

[celest dagger]

And add a riser to the sa58

Ive killed 3 mans with pst granted they had no facemasks but ap6.3 is basically the same thing

[rough hare]

this is the image of me getting it (it was a scav run too)

[celest dagger]

Original gun was?

[river dove]

lucky son of a bitch

[rough hare]

vepr hunter

[celest dagger]

I have a better scav run than that

Its from last wipe though

[rough hare]

for someone who started properly this wipe, its good for me

the fal mags are full of m80 though? is that good?

[vale wave]

Imagine being able to keep all your shit after a scav run. I honestly feel bad because I killed a ton of people for their shit and now no one gets it

[river dove]

m80 can pen up to 4

[celest dagger]

M80 pens level 4 and does
80 damage

[rough hare]

is there another ammo I should load it up with

[celest dagger]

@vale wave what do you mean

[river dove]

m61 and m62 are the icing of the cake

[celest dagger]

@rough hare if you have peacekeeper leveled up buy m62s they are 4$ a piece

[river dove]

but they are like 1k per boolt

on flea

[vale wave]

The game glitched out for me and wouldn't let me transfer anything after the raid

[celest dagger]

That doesnt happen that often though

[rough hare]

my rankings

[celest dagger]

you tryna flex on me i have max traders

But still buy m62s m61s are expensive as fuk

The only problem with them is they cant pen level 6 while m61s can

[rough hare]

no, not flexing, I am a beginner lul, just wondering what my best options are to buy

[celest dagger]

Both can 1 tap almost all helmets and face shields except vulkan and the killa mask

[rough hare]

even altyn?

[celest dagger]

yes

[rough hare]

I have 19 rounds of m61 in my case

[knotty skiff]

M80’s are good enough unless you’re pvp’ing

[hardy wyvern]

i got full killa armor and I'm level 5 found in raid what should i do with it

[celest dagger]

Id sell them and buy m62s unless you are fighting slicks and 6b43s

[rough hare]

I still need to get the 0% 6b :p

[celest dagger]

@hardy wyvern sell it on flea 300k a piece prolly more on flea

Er full i mean

[vale wave]

beginner, level 34, choose one lol

[hardy wyvern]

how do i get the flea

[bold kernel]

bro its so weird how skilled and lucky some people are in this game

[celest dagger]

@rough hare i had a friend shoot me with a pm a ton becore extracting

[knotty skiff]

Why is luck skill and rng weird?

[celest dagger]

@bold kernel some people just hit nasty shots

[rough hare]

🙋‍♂️

[celest dagger]

@hardy wyvern get to level 10

[hardy wyvern]

oh ok thank you

[bold kernel]

@celest dagger exactly its like i try to have some game sense and i listen and out of nowhere someone hits me with the gawk gawk

[rough hare]

all I can do is close combat fights lmao, long range am pretty bad

[bold kernel]

shotguns are my specialty rn

[rough hare]

the gawk gawk 😉

[celest dagger]

It just happens to some people more than others, ive had nasty shots and ive had nasty shots hit on me

[vale wave]

all I know is vepyr hunter

[celest dagger]

Skill and reaction time plays a role though

[bold kernel]

i seriously need to learn more about this game

considering i started this wipe about 2 weeks ago i dont think im doing too bad rn

this is my first time playing as well btw

[vale wave]

Point fire, m80, pso for range, the gun is the shit

and no one takes it

[celest dagger]

Because it sucks cqb

Its a mid to long range weapon

[vale wave]

I make it work

even in resort

[celest dagger]

You will get ass blasted by m4s and mp7s

[rough hare]

I got medstation level 3 , just gotta wait now xD

[celest dagger]

Since it has no mods ergo sucks

[bold kernel]

ravioli can i dm you something?

[celest dagger]

Sure

[vale wave]

not often, I run resort a ton and go vepyr 75% of the time, still a positive PMC kdr

[celest dagger]

This wipe im much closer to max hideout than last

Resort just sucks in general

[vale wave]

It depends, good pvp sometimes

[celest dagger]

Good loot but too many pmcs

[vale wave]

long sightlines so its good for me with a vepyr

[celest dagger]

Thats exactly why i hate that mao#p

[rough hare]

,ok so do I keep the tan airframe or sell to raggedy man

[celest dagger]

I play to run resort and get sniped half the time tryna go there

@rough hare if you wanna go in with the sa58 then id replace the facemask and keep it

[vale wave]

yea, you really can't take a mp7 to that map because if you don't get one of the decent spawns you are gonna get shit on from people with range

[rough hare]

I killed 2 slicks with an mpx in resort once

[celest dagger]

Mpx is good for facetapping but penning armor isnt where its at

[rough hare]

I found it was decent for spraying legs too 😛

[celest dagger]

Not as good as it was because people somehow 1 tap you before you can kill their legs

[rough hare]

I guess the players I was against were particularly bad then 😄

[ancient rose]

uh

is there a glitch where you randomly start losing health and in like 3 ticks youre dead?

cause I was laying down in a corner and all the sudden I lost all my health and died

or was that the work of a cheater

[shut pelican]

bpz fmj good or trash?

[pure talon]

whats the best way to exchange dollars and euros back to rubbles?

[celest dagger]

Trash @shut pelican

Buy a ton of 1 item and sell it to a trader for roubles, you lose some but still @pure talon

[pure talon]

That's a very generic answer, was looking for sth more specific.

[whole egret]

Is there any easy way to get a gamma box?

[leaden ivy]

buy EOD

@whole egret

[whole egret]

hahah true

should've said

without buying EOD

[rough hare]

no xD, EOD is the only way

[lament portal]

Just looking for someone to play with and try to survive some raids and get some xp

early questing also

[sage prism]

so uh theres 8 scavs outside factory cellar door, what do???

[stone moss]

gir gud

[daring terrace]

Tap 8 heads gg ez

[slate ledge]

tru

[tiny stag]

hey guys

I am doing the nostalgia quest for jaeger

the guide says room 303 is unlocked but when I try to go in it only gives me the option to breach which doesn't work

have they changed the quest?

oh wait nvm, west wing not east

[merry falcon]

anyone wanna play almost lvl 10 got customs and factory down like the back of my hand need some team

[lapis mauve]

bpz fmj good or trash?
@shut pelican its better than 762 ps but m80 is better and pk lvl 2 is easy to get

[coral sail]

Anyone have tips of the 8 scavs with a mosin from 40 meters no scope? anyone know if i can put a red-dot or reflex sight on and it still count, or just open sights?

[lapis mauve]

just irons. 40m isn't far and mosin irons are decent. just play normal and i think you will get it

[coral sail]

awesome. Thank you for the info. Dont use mosin much, guess thatll have to change

[lapis mauve]

if you do all 8 tarkov shooter quests you will use the mosin a ton

the distance between 2 and 3 story dorms is around 40m

depending on what window you shoot from

bus stop area in front of dorms is about 50m long

[coral sail]

haha yeah. i plan do do all the missions this wipe. last wipe i didnt do any really. thank you for that, thats a really good way to decipher the distances.

[lapis mauve]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs this site has a rangefinder tool

[coral sail]

no way

[lapis mauve]

you can turn the loot locations off to use it easier

[coral sail]

Thats so sick. Life saver right there

[lapis mauve]

yeah, i used it a lot for the 100m headshots

[tiny stag]

how do you get empty fuel tanks out of the generator

[coral sail]

Ive been using old maps and just trying to gauge my own distance on them.

[lapis mauve]

open the drop down menu and select an empty square

[coral sail]

i type to slow haha

[lapis mauve]

the one that says none

[coral sail]

Speaking of hideout stuff. Where's the easiest place to get LEDX besides flee.

[short holly]

i think health resort?

but a locked room?

not very helpful sorry

[wise stream]

interchange locked medical room has a pretty high spawn i was told

but the key is like 1.5mil or some shit

[short holly]

yeah ultra medical

[coral sail]

im not sure which health resort room either.

[wise stream]

ye, wish i could sell my key

[short holly]

did you keister it out?

[wise stream]

I accidentally brought it into a raid

[bold kernel]

Helping new people with quests, dm. Asia only.

[coral sail]

might try to get into ultra med. LEDX is 1.7mil and key for ultra is 1.2mil. almost same price

[short holly]

you could just camp it and wait for some sucker to open it for you ;D

[coral sail]

Damn.. I keep doing that with all my FIR keys too. Lost a lot of money that way>

im not he type for camping... to intents for me

[short holly]

fair enough

what level are you ginge?

[coral sail]

just hit level 21

[short holly]

you got a keychain thing?

[coral sail]

i have a doc case

[wise stream]

cool i just got TRIPLE NADED on customs by like a 5man

love this game

[short holly]

ahh ok

[coral sail]

2 actually

[short holly]

i got a keychain and put it in my pouch thing and it was gamechanging

[wise stream]

like sure guys, triple nade the hatchling

[short holly]

@wise stream sounds like the boomer remover got BOOM removed 😄

[coral sail]

hah

hahaha

[wise stream]

tis not the time for jokes, although good one

[short holly]

.>

what'd you have on you?

[wise stream]

nothing but a pistol and i was trying to avoid engagements by going away from the hotspots (big red, dorms, etc.)

;-;

[opaque garnet]

Just had the stupidest death. What are you supposed to do if some asshole is camping in a corner? I just had the best raid I've ever had ruined by some dick in a bush

lol

but i lost a lot thanks to him

[misty nimbus]

thats tarkov

gotta keep on your toes closer i get to extract the more cautious i am

[opaque garnet]

But theres no way I could have known he was there, and no way to get by without him seeing me. Fuck me, I'm never going to get my tasks done

[misty nimbus]

there is no real hard counter to bush wookies aside maybe IR scopes

[opaque garnet]

Finally find stuff I need and I get killed. Been stuck at 7 for raids and raids now

This is why I say once you get behind youre fucked

No way I can compete with a level 44 ffsa

[misty nimbus]

it has hard more so now, a well aimed shot can take down anyone though

[opaque garnet]

Yea not if I can't see him.

Fuck me, ruined my whole night

[misty nimbus]

unless you get 1 tapped which will happen if you cannot see the person best thing to do is go evasive and find cover,

[opaque garnet]

He put 2 or 3 rounds into me before I could even react

[coral sail]

its not as good for getting loot but the past couple weeks ive been going in on the least populated maps at the time with only 2 servers selected and killing scavs at distance. Only loot when you feel and know its safe. the xp is all you really get but it levels you up fast

[misty nimbus]

if you know the direction put some shots in the direction while running just to try and make them back off and break sight

[opaque garnet]

He had no where to go, right against the outer wall of the map tucked in a little corner

Turned a corner and bang

I had 5 kills, a gun and two armors i needed for tasks

first time finding the armor too

scavs but stilll

[misty nimbus]

levels dont mean much in this game aside unlocking higher level merchants, it takes some time to get better at this game

[opaque garnet]

and now i lost my scoped mosin too

fuck me i guess

[misty nimbus]

even the best players get destroyed some days

[opaque garnet]

back to scaving

Yea but they have something to show for it

[coral sail]

if hes only lvl 7 then getting xp and getting to lvl 10 is gonna help a lot.

he can then buy things for tasks and raids

[misty nimbus]

starting out is hard, if you have 2 monitors i recoomend getting the maps pulled up on the second one, try and remeber how much things are selling for to maximize profits.

[coral sail]

+1 the second monitor with map changed the whole game for me

[opaque garnet]

like ginge says, I need to hit 10. So I was focusing on tasks on the map I know the best and doesn't usually have too many sweatys

I've got customs basically memorized

[misty nimbus]

just try not to let the game get the best of you, it is really rough starting out but it gets more fun the more time you put into it

[coral sail]

i did interchange as scav and player and mainly stayed around power station and caches

[misty nimbus]

woods was my starter map

but i have always been a sneaky style player

[coral sail]

right now its the least popular map

[opaque garnet]

Yea it seems like not too many people like woods

But I'm better in urban enviro then the great outdoors lol

[coral sail]

woods is high player lvl now. they farm shturman

[opaque garnet]

at least thats what i feel like lol

[coral sail]

woods also has a few caches too.

[misty nimbus]

the woodsy areas are the harder ones due to more places to camo, i have had guys walk right past me and i was just standing still beside a tree

[coral sail]

samne

[misty nimbus]

interchange cashe runs can be good money

and quick

[coral sail]

thats what i did mostly as a new player

found gas ans

good ammo

guns

[opaque garnet]

inter is a pretty awesome map, I want to get more accustomed to it

that and reserves not bad either

I've got a key for it

[misty nimbus]

depending on the guns ammo makes biggest impact, a stock gun with good ammo does the same damage as a pimped one,

[coral sail]

scav them. or spend an hour offline on them. youll learn them fast, with a map pulled up to refernce

[misty nimbus]

interchange garage is pretty good for loot once you get used to it, a lot of weapon crates and fun mods down there

[opaque garnet]

I've got a couple but i got the gear fear lol

[coral sail]

me too

[misty nimbus]

everyone goes through gear fear

[coral sail]

lvl 21 still got gear fear

[opaque garnet]

Got super duper lucky and killed a guy and took his sv98

[misty nimbus]

i still find it creeping up on me when i have a really epic match and i am loaded, overthinking can get ya killed

[coral sail]

i got an Icase full of "pimped" as vals from lvl 10. still just sitting there.

part of it is gear fear. part of it is the fact they're kind of gross.

[violet cloak]

Gear fear isnt the thing for me really. It's "Getting ripped off with a 1shot and wasting this gear on not even getting a fight" fear

[wise stream]

im just trying to get to lvl 10

[coral sail]

well yeah thats a better description. hahah

[violet cloak]

I dont mind losing the gear, if I actively lost it in a fight or something - but getting 1popped by a mosin from 100m away just feels like being robbed 😛

[wise stream]

only 10k exp left

[opaque garnet]

I keep thinking about asking for a sherpa or help or something for in raid.

[coral sail]

I'm sure there are people who would be willing to play with you and teach you some things. I've never played with anyone in this game so probably not a good teammate.

🤣

[opaque garnet]

Yea, I'm worried about getting someone killed or accidentally tk-ing

lol ill just keep struggling on my own

[coral sail]

I'm worried about me tk-ing too. for 2 wipes ive been solo.

i hear noise i shoot

Scav raids i feel like i could do it because i usually try to avoid scav on scav violence.

[opaque garnet]

holy shit, i just spawned as ascav, ive got the biggest rig iver seen and a friggin lab keycard

[coral sail]

There you go!

[bitter path]

groups are big fun

i usually lead a group around and grab all the loot and dip

and lead them on their quest runs

[coral sail]

i watch groups all the time. but never been in one.

[bitter path]

try using lfg

map knowledge is key and telling your team where you are and knowing where they are prvents TK

[violet cloak]

Is LPZ GZH never found in raid now? I just spawned as a scav with mosin + ammo, and I looted more ammo along the way, 4 kills, extracted : everything is tagged as FIR except for the mosin ammo

I don't think I restacked any, or killed anyone with mosin ammo :S

[opaque garnet]

holy fuck i made it out

[tiny stag]

hey guys I just finished chemical p.3 and 3 quests opened up together (1 for skier, 1 for prapor and 1 for therapist). Can I submit them all or only 1 of them and if only 1, any you guys recommend?

[tiny stag]

you can only submit 1 of the 3 quests I read from the wiki, any in particular I should do?

[wintry glen]

do the skier one

his loyalty buyout is the most painful in terms of cost

you should be overrepped with therapist and prapor anyway

[coral sail]

thats a great haul Dude.

[bitter coral]

So as a noob, I just spent ~15 min on customs... ended up with 2 geared PMC kills. Ecstatic. Decked M4 and SVDS.... extracted with a few thousand xp. Did not get a run through status.... and everything in my inventory is marked as NOT Found in raid? Anyone know what could have caused that?

[tiny stag]

@wintry glen thank you very much

[wintry glen]

@bitter coral is what you brought out from their inventory?

[bitter coral]

yes

[wintry glen]

the same rules apply -- example would be if i bring in an SVD its not found in raid, if you kill me and extract, that SVD remains not found in raid

because I didnt find it in raid, i brought it in

[bitter coral]

ahhhhhh

Makes sense. Thanks

[wintry glen]

no problem man. happy to help

[bitter coral]

stinks. came out with ~320k in m885a1 ammo alone 😦

[wintry glen]

well dont be sad, you can use it!

[shut pelican]

good scav run man

[wintry glen]

ammo is the most important thing you can spend on

[coral sail]

i just got my last flash drive for quest on scav run and got gunned down at extract. thats tarkov though. on to the next one

[wintry glen]

more important than your armor, your guns etc

it directly determines your TTK

as a wise man once said -- you wear armor for noobs and scavs. by noobs he meant people that use like M855 over M855A1

thats why class 4+ is armor of choice, as it pretty much stops scavs from being relevant outside of facetaps, and noobs can't do much to you outside of facetaps

[bitter path]

if youre poor run lvl 2 armor as scav protection

lvl 4+ is what really starts protecting you from players

[coral sail]

ive been running akm with bp ammo. cheap but very effective ammo atm

[stone moss]

if you are poor don't even waste money on level 2 armor lol 30k for something that does nothing

[wintry glen]

AKM with BP is, actually, pretty meta rn

for a gun that doesn't look impressive and a round that isn't impressive on paper, it fucking melts people

[stone moss]

Has good flesh damage with decent pen

[coral sail]

on a 15 raid streak with it and no armor

[bitter path]

risky

[wintry glen]

armor is literally for scavs

[bitter path]

shotgun scavs will 1 tap you

[wintry glen]

go buy like a 6B if you're really that poor

[coral sail]

hella but didnt have money for good armor

[bitter path]

thats why lv 2 is good, prevents scavs from 1 tapping you if youre caught out

[wintry glen]

otherwise i highly recommed investing in an AVS (preferably) or an M1/M2

keep all round glasses and kolpak visors for m2 barter from ragman

and teapots/vases for zhuk barter, aramid/cordura for what was it, mod2 barter or something

[bitter path]

6b3tm is a good armor too at ragman ll2

corduras go for 40k+

[coral sail]

what lvl is that barter

for m2

[bitter path]

youre better off with neoprene masks and gasmasks for a tactec

[wintry glen]

i think 3

[coral sail]

damn. im alomst there

almost

[proper apex]

I swear to god

SEA servers are filled with bush campers

[tiny stag]

what do you guys like to put in your THICC items case? I just got one from the therapist quest as a reward but idk if worth keeping or selling since I already have a lucky scav case and an items case

I guess I could sell my scav and items case?

[chrome ibex]

I sold my thicc to progress the hideout

[hot zenith]

I threw all my armor and helmets in there

[chrome ibex]

Since for me the space is kinda pointless when the payout is too good at the time

[hot zenith]

and even then the thicc item case is full

[languid flare]

@tiny stag You can use the Thicc to near literally have it be your inventory
All boxes but Item case fit in it.
Also can use it as one you dont have
(Weapons... Food... Meds... etc)

Or as one said for Armor

[tiny stag]

is there much point to have a lucky scav, items case and THICC case tho? I wanna sell one but idk which one to sell. Will THICC eventually come down in price? I could sell it for now and get it later again

[bitter path]

keep em all

[tiny stag]

pretty happy now with my set up

[bitter path]

not half bad

whatchu got in the keytool and docs?

[stone moss]

That is a lot of item cases

[tiny stag]

oh and I have an item case below lol

keytool is random keys, docs is empty tho 😐

[bitter path]

i keep seeing people with a ton of ammo cases and its making me think i should just get 1 dedicated case for 7n12 bp and anotehr for iggy

[tiny stag]

I have a sicc case in my pouch tho, I use that for active keys

I just copied LVNDMARK's cases except he doesn't have a scav box or items case

[bitter path]

thicc case only gang

[tiny stag]

I might sell my thicc case for now to get my bitcoin farm up n running

then eventually buy one back again

[bitter path]

nah

not worth

[wise stream]

no case gang ;-;

[bitter path]

no use for btc rn

cant market it

[tiny stag]

what isn't worth? selling it or making btc farm?

[bitter path]

everyone is just whoring on mechanics weapon case btc barter

no need to rush the farm

[tiny stag]

oh

that sucks, that has been my goal for a while now

[bitter path]

i have 32 btc and nothing to do with it

im waiting for the weapon case barter but im too slow

dont really even need the case but i wanna get rid of the coin

[tiny stag]

oh and I need to get my health skill up to 8 so I can get the +2 health levels quest for the 10 health skill quest... any tips for increasing health skill?

[bitter path]

dont heal after the raid in the heal menu

do it from stash

[tiny stag]

oh yup thanks I have been doing that

with grizzlies

[bitter path]

thats about it

i guess play a little more aggressively so you get shot at more so you can heal?

[tiny stag]

ahh okayh thanks heaps! will do. I'll just ignore this skill/quest and get it passively

[bitter path]

yea itll just happen as long as youre playing

strength on the other hard is something you need to actively pursue

[tiny stag]

yeah I was going to fill an ammo case up and put that in my pouch and play raids

since cheaper than nades

[bitter path]

just do smoke grenades

and carry empty fuel cans

[languid flare]

"Nothing to do with BTC"
Idk, how about selling to Therapist, which is like nearly the same price as flea most of the time?

[wise stream]

DVL any good?

[languid flare]

Very silent, but apparently also has a trigger delay
Not a bad gun, but not 'sniper meta'.
