knotty skiff
#

they'll keep chucking grenades, and keep coming

hot coyote
#

yeah i should do that

#

its good practice

knotty skiff
#

u can keep trying until you stop jumping or panicking when theres a grenade

#

and also learn to speed up certain actions

#

like loading mags while the heal animation is up

#

unload the gun and reload the gun using left and right clicks while youre healing

#

min maxing time spent, u can figure out that while youre being in constant stress and being pushed by scavs that throw nades, master that, you'll be in good shape @hot coyote

hot coyote
#

aight aight

#

ill try that

Does anyone wanna help out a broke level 4 player?

and my game is stuck on windowed mode now xd

bold kernel
#

what an expensive and under powered kit lol

hot coyote
#

bro im shit at the game

#

help me out instead of telling me my kit sucks xd

bold kernel
#

hope you can make a recording of using it. I suck with bolt action and pistol rounds

west bison
#

lol

#

if your shit at the game dont bring out kits like that

#

its not that good and cost alot

#

you can just use a budget gun thats good

hot coyote
#

i was gonna do what Bun told me, practice against scavs

west bison
#

hunter with m80

#

mosin

#

cheap ak

#

etc

hot coyote
#

i know

bold kernel
#

I figured you were confident in it.

hot coyote
#

im just gonna use this to fuck around against scavs on a offline raid

west bison
#

oh

hot coyote
#

fuck no dude i aint gonna run it with a class4 helmet and class 3 gear with 9mil rounds

slim kiln
#

Do I lose my stuff if I die in offline mode?

hot coyote
#

nope

slim kiln
#

ah ok

bold kernel
#

only advice I have is mpx/mp5 pistol rounds drop Short of minimum spawn distance... just under 100 range... got me killed couple times... the 700 is fine a sniper... Bolt action is biggest draw back for me... needs m61 for headshots on good helms though. SNB is so common though... flies tiny bit further. so tend to snipe with it.

#

but if your new. nothing wrong with running what you have.

hot coyote
#

aight

#

i just need to fix this windowed screen problem now xd

bold kernel
#

settings and possibly launcher settings. tech support would know more

hot coyote
#

i made it windowed and now its so big i cant reach setttings

#

launcher aint got the setting no more

west bison
#

hows windowed to big?

#

isnt the point of windowed, ya know. to make it a small window

hot coyote
#

well yeah but the game in the small window becomes bigger

bold kernel
#

default resultion sometimes push important borders off edge

hot coyote
#

and in tarkov the settings button is on the bottom right and my taskbar is in front of that

#

exactly

bold kernel
#

back to mpx/700 combo. mpx is a tad bit on shorter range and goin off scope 700 will be hard long to maybe cqc hip fire.... your mid range will be difficult... even with a bravo scope. I would bring one or the other... ditch insured gun if I can if caught out numbered or out gunned.

hot coyote
#

yeah i honestly didnt really think about the kit xd

west bison
#

just bring a backup five seven for cqc

#

cause five sevn

bold kernel
#

looking at mp9-n I think it was... might be a flea market cheap~ pistol round short range meta gun... good to maybe class4+... mainly it's fire rate sells it... dunno it's spray size yet. preping test runs.

hot coyote
#

i guess this would be a better option

#

just put the bravo on the ak so its mid/close range

#

and then have the M700 for longrange

bold kernel
#

Should work. maybe to preserve money take the suppresor from 700 back if it's just to switch with on the run. might be compaitible with a nice m1a or something all round for ya. Usually stick to a single primary... extra slot for loot.

eternal scarab
#

anyone eu and wants to play realy need help xD

hot coyote
#

yeah true that

#

im def not gonna run with any of this on my own, since im not confident enough ill make it out

#

whats with this game and spawning me late into games

#

I spawn minutes late into interchange and I stand no chance against the people inside already

warm ravine

Im loading in fast, it just spawns me into game that have already started

hot coyote
#

well if he was doing scav runs it would make sense

Hello, I'm looking for someone to introduce me to reserve. I'd like to learn and play the map more often. I'm lvl 35, Red Rebell available, kinda 0 Reserve experience. Interchange is my home PepeHands. I'm 25 would be nice to have someone a bit "older" around this age as well.

Is Mr. Holodilnick thermobag worth to keep? Cuz I found it in Marked Room on Customs and I don't know if I should sell it or keep it.

#

439k on the lowest end

languid flare
#

If you wanna store stuff like Superwater/Moonshine... whatever. Food stuff, then it is worth having one (I bartered mine with JΓ€ger)
But if you have nothing like that, sell it for good money

loud tartan
#

Ok

rough hare
#

is there anything in the hideout not worth upgrading?

languid flare
#

I guess you could go without Shooting Range and instead go offline to test guns quickly

#

The rest has a use one or another way

Can I do the RR trade threw the flea market or it is required to have jaegaer lvl 3 ?

stone moss
#

If a player is offering a barter or selling it, you can do it that way

rough hare
#

what map you reckon I should play?

arctic kraken
#

Ok nice because I got a lot of the loot for but as a lvl 6 with few quest jager lvl 3 feels far

bold kernel
#

I cant put red dot on my ak even tho I added a rail

delicate wren

i think that optic needs a mount to attach it onto a picatinny

bold kernel

whats it called do you know ?

delicate wren

do you have flea?

if you do, you can right click the red dot, and linked search for it

How often would modded pump shotguns (MP-133, M870 currently iirc) get returned through insurance? How about with no mods?

gentle stratus
#

I don't pick them up

lucid swallow
#

Can any sherpa move me please?

desert python
#

I'm a fan of pump shotguns IRL, so I'm thinking of trying them. I know there are much better guns out there for Tarkov, of course.

I was thinking. M4 or Ak today. Always AK. AK superiority.

Shotguns are pretty meh.

wise stream
#

AP-20 builds are nasty tho

bold kernel
#

what happens with insurance if you get a lot of items the next day will it fill your inventory and you lose some ?

gentle stratus
#

can confirm ap20s slap

bold kernel
#

@bold kernel are you saying what happens to insrance you don't have room for? It has a timer until it's gone. Up to you to make space or leave it.

#

can I sell it from

#

where I pick them up

#

ive never gotten an item back yet

#

My biggest issue with ak is the fire rate. So many raids with drum mags with good bullets and either rapid fire or lucky head shots end me faster. while I'm still ratatata through my first rounds on sudden encounters. Like a good rpm or strong enough bullet to three tap

#

@bold kernel I don't understand. Sell them in raid when you pick them up? No not atm.

#

insurance takes more then a day to return mostly.

#

because ive insured things today will they just fill my inventory tomorrow ?

#

and depending how you die. Ppl will keep your stuff if it's good.

#

or do I have to collect them from a place

#

it was just sks's

#

in dorms so I guess people wont take it

#

Oh. A new window opens with available insurance returns from prapor

#

dorms pretty popular area... unless you got common loot. good place to lose stuff.

#

check messages from prapor for when he returns your items

#

ah okay makes sense tyty

desert compass
#

Which items should I always insure?

bold kernel

I guess ones that people wont loot

cause you will get them back

what should I be doing with hideout

I'd say the place that heals you and recovers your energy

other than that nothing else for early game

Getting the crafting places is good as well for found in raid items apparently

@ashen yoke Let me know what you need and I can probably bring them into a raid for you.

#

@young path According to Tarkov Market, around 40k

young path

okay thanks

torn ledge

@bold kernel What do you need?

ashen yoke

@torn ledge I need the Tapco grip for the aku and the pt lock

#

also for aku

bold kernel
#

just someone to go into cutoms with but im tired of tarkov right now so u can just add me if interested

opaque garnet
#

Even when I try to play safe I get fucked. If I even get shot at I run away because I can't kill anything with the garbage ammo I can get. But still get one or 2 shotted with armor. Game seems impossible some times, like no matter how much time I spend playing I'll never be good enough.

ashen yoke
#

once you pass lvl 10 @opaque garnet you can use flea market

#

that helped me alot

opaque garnet
#

Yea, I'm trying to get to 10 but only getting a ~100 xp a raid (tasks? lol) means it takes a lot of dying.

torn ledge
#

@opaque garnet PS ammo for 7.62 is viable in early game

#

You won't penetrate the best armour, but it's enough to put down most people.

opaque garnet
#

sure doesn't seem like it, hit a dude twice once in the face and he just shrugged it off and put one bullet into me and i died

torn ledge
#

You'll need more than that.

#

A few shots should put most people down.

opaque garnet
#

kinda ridic that a bullet to the face doesn't equal death

torn ledge
#

Depends on what armour he was wearing etc. If he had a face shield, it's possible the bullet was stopped.

#

If he had a helmet, the round can ricochet.

#

Head shots are generally not the way to go unless you have a high-pen round like 7.62x54r

opaque garnet
#

Doesn't matter anyways, even if they stood there and just let me shoot I couldn't kill them. I run away, but most of the time they follow or just kill me before I can do anything

#

Impossible to get tasks done

torn ledge
#

It's rarely better to run away; you show your back, making yourself an easy target.

opaque garnet
#

Well then im fucked

torn ledge
#

Firing back puts people under pressure, making their aim worse etc.

opaque garnet
#

can't kill, can';t run, cant loot, cant do tasks

torn ledge
#

You need to practice more, mate.

#

We all gotta start somewhere!

#

You'll get the hang of it, I promise./

opaque garnet
#

yea, go into raid, run,m die, repeat = getting better?

#

80 hours later and I'm still in the exact same spot

#

I mean, I don't expect to be god but I'd like to not be the worst player ever

torn ledge
#

Get into Raid, recognise how loud certain sounds are, start to distinguish different gun sounds, hear footsteps and get the drop on someone, put them down first, get gear, find more people, kill one or two, killed by the third.

#

2-4k experience.

opaque garnet
#

Only in my dreams lol

torn ledge
#

Sometimes you'll get out with loads of loot, sometimes you'll get out with almost nothing, often you'll die.

#

Stick with it. Learn the maps, learn the weapons and ammo.

#

Try Interchange, for example.

#

Some of the high traffic areas in the middle of the mall are a bit nuts, but going to somewhere like IDEA or Oli can get you decent loot and you might only encounter a player or two, at most.

ashen yoke
#

@torn ledge you wanna do that now? I can bring you 10k roubles to trade

torn ledge
#

But you'll fight some Scavs, which will get you used to fighting.

@opaque garnet have you looked into finding a sherpa to help?

what are good rounds to have

#

Im using 9mm rn lmao

shot this dude 5 times for 125 his armor absorbed 175 l

ashen yoke
#

RIP

torn ledge
#

Sad times πŸ˜„

#

I assume you stashed the goods?

#

@bold kernel Each caliber has a variety of ammo types; some are better at penetration, some are better at dealing damage to flesh. If you're using 9mm, the '6.3 AP' is best for penetration, but won't go very far. 'RIP' ammo on the other hand does massive flesh damage, so you can shoot people in the arms/legs no matter how much armour they have.

ashen yoke
#

yeah i did ^_^

what's a good budget stock for ak's? I have been using the zhukov as it's amazing but kind of pricey

#

and the RK-1 foregrip but that's a little high in price too

spice otter

RK-0 is great, I honestly just use a polymer stock with a recoil pad.

I have a really nice build for 74-U's

I'm level 6 and this has been working fabulously for me

shy cradle
#

God damn that foregrip is fucking ugly, def looks like a good build tho lul

#

If it works it work

scenic kestrel
#

it's just the best foregrip I currently have

#

I'm using pretty expensive ammo too though

#

7N39

shy cradle
#

Isnt that the best ammo type for 545?

scenic kestrel
#

as far as I know yes

#

just to fill that 60 mag it was like almost 80k

#

worth, though

#

can kill glukhar pretty easily and his bois

#

I just started this game a few weeks ago and can only play maybe 3-4 times a week which is why I'm so low level

shy cradle
#

I just started playing 2 days ago lul

rotund jasper
#

Im a noob at this game anyone wanna teach me

scenic kestrel
#

play a lot of factory when you first start

#

that's what I did

#

will get you accustomed to the combat quickly and has a good risk/reward

#

I run my pmc on customs/factory/(sometimes) reserve, and run my scav and interchange and shoreline

#

I would do reserve more but it scares the fuck out of me, all those juicers

shy cradle
#

factory or interchangfe are both good maps to start on

lapis mauve
#

lol factory

#

maybe if you already know the layout and spots people go and have good aim and don't mind dying a lot for little loot

shy cradle
#

interchange is big schmoney if you know where to look

#

Even if you only get a few thousand roubles from cash registers it's better then nothing

long creek
#

Do naked runs to rush into the red room on interchange. Might be lucky enough to get a tetriz

shy cradle
#

Isnt a tetriz really only useful if you sell it on the flea market?

knotty skiff
#

...no

#

u can just trade it in for a bitcoin normally

#

no reason to put it up unless youre trying to get flea market rep

shy cradle
#

ik you can get a mp7 with bitcoin but what other use does a btc have?

its accuracy, basically how big the spread of your bullets will be

native vessel

@abstract lotus Depends on your playstyle and what you're trying to do

#

Is it quests? Just lootin and scootin? Do you want to raze hell and shoot and be shot?

#

@tiny stag Reserve has good loot, decent fights, but lots of rats + red rebel is kinda needed

#

But I'd say it's a good map to do

tiny stag
#

what is red rebel @native vessel ?

native vessel
#

@tiny stag It's a melee weapon that is required with the paracord for certain extracts

#

one on woods and one on reserve

tiny stag
#

ohhh for the cliff descent?

native vessel

Yes

and on woods

I'm very new to the game watched alot of begginer guides to get a general idea of stuff my one main question is though what do u focus on when just starting the game besides trying to survive raids

neat echo

@uncut magnet I would just focus on learning maps / map knowledge while doing quests. Ultimately quests help you level, get rep, and get higher traders to buy more stuff, etc

hey guys how do you find scavs on interchange? need to do the decontamination service quest (30 scav kills while wearing respirator and shit body armour)

all mango needs is mango, not cheese, did u not fucking read his name? /s

tiny stag
#

4 interchange runs now and I've only killed 1 scav 😦

ocean fable
#

Mango, hit the spawn next to you and then hide, not all scavs spawn at the start

#

for example if you spawn near the traintracks where all the jaeger stashes are you can check the roadblock thingy for scavs kill them and then go back in hide in one of the bushes for 15-20 minutes

#

when you emerge most players will have left, there will usually be a bunch of player scavs instead and most of the scavs will have respawned by then

tiny stag
#

@ocean fable thanks heaps! and from there where do you recommend is best going to? I heard that you can get waves of scavs at the kiba store

ocean fable
#

it depends where I spawn but at the start you usually find scavs at the before mentioned roadblock thing, front of idea, front of oli and sometimes in the garages under the mall

#

once a little time has passed I recommend hitting powerstation and goshan

does anyone know if theres anything decent to craft for profit in the hideout?

fervent kraken
#

level up your workbench @dusky shell

#

then u can craft bp ammo with one green gunpowder and 120 7.62 bp sells for about 900 roubles per so u make about 100k every time

dusky shell
#

aight thanks alot!

#

and the other stations? like kitchen and lavatory?

fervent kraken
#

there is others like making vpx's in intel center but there expensive to start with and ithink you need lvl 2

#

not really now tbh mags cases used to be good but they are so cheap rn

ocean fable
#

@dusky shell profitable crafts in the workbench, Green Gunpowder (if you can buy m67 from peacekeeper), BP Bullets and Igolnik bullets. Intelligence center you will get most profit from either crafting graphics cards or Folder with Intelligence. Producing superwater and Lucky Scav Moonshine can be profitable too. I recommend you make your sugar yourself using alyonka its cheaper

#

also the blue lab stims can be profitable depending on how much they go for atm and on the current prices of the mats

#

You can run your generator for free using expeditionary fuel tanks 24/7

#

basically what you do is buy at least 2 of them, once they are empty you can use them along with some other mats to craft a magbox in your lavatory. allowing you to sell it and make all money back from spending on the fuel

#

it doesnt make much profit itself but allows you to run your generator 24/7 with no losses and even slight profit

#

wich makes all your other crafts more profitable

dusky shell
#

thanks alot for those amazing answers! much appreciated

@bold kernel scav runs on factory is best bet for the shotgun (if you dont have flea market, they dont need to be FIR). Plus if you can find some fuel, best is to get hideout with generator and med station lvl 1, and craft the salewas there

im stuck on that fucking hand tremor quest from jaeger

any tip on how to do it quickly?

languid flare
#

@vale stream 'Easiest' way is to get either
A: Your arm with a fracture, popping a painkiller, waiting 40 sec (even after joining a new raid) and then going for headshots
or
B: get dehydrated, pop a Propital (probably a few over the course of the quest) and then do headshots

Both Fractures and Dehydration cause Tremor

Alternatively, pop some drugs or alcohol, but that is a short duration with long delay, so... not so effective, imo

going to do the fracture thing

Arguably, Shoreline has the most spawns for very rare/expensive items, but the majority of these spawns are behind locked doors.

Interchange is a good map for making some cash. Much lower risk, too.

@primal flicker Stash locations help me early on a bit... can usually find a couple purple loot items to secure... otherwise deadicate time to 'loot runs'... youtube has plenty

scav runs on interchage is actually good

it also helps you get oriented with the map

hatchet stashing is also good

how many graphics cards should I have in my farmer before leaving fuel on?

light badger

kairon i think you earn money with only 1 gpu, more gpus more money ofc though

rough hare

but you need to use up fuel to have it active, so I was wondering how many i need for it not to be a money sink

light badger
#

as i said, 1 gpu should be sufficient to make money, you wont make a lot but you wont lose any

rough hare
#

1 gpu takes 20 hours for one bitcoin though, and in 20 hours I think more than 115k(?)(bitcoin price) of fuel is used

#

idk tho, maybe your right

no, metal fueltank is 25 h of fuel and costs 90k

There are a couple flags involved to keep ai scav friendly. usually you have to be hit first. and second I imagine there is a certain range or zone you have to be inside of to trigger the ai hostility.

I think it's random and if a scav is near you to get aggro

safe badger
#

@wild musk Custom is only for quests and maybe the marked room. There's not much loot on custom. Right now I would recommend get familiar with reserve and do some knife run

#

You can also go shoreline and find the hidden stash

#

Check the youtube video about hidden stash

#

Once you get more money buy keys for reserve

languid flare
#

If he wants to do quests that is not very helpful for him

wild musk
#

i've heard that Reserve is a place for high levels

safe badger
#

no it's not

#

avoid some area

#

you die a couple times you know where is the hot zone and avoid them

#

It takes time to learn

wild musk
#

of course

safe badger
#

If this was the start of the wipe I would recommend shoreline

#

If you wanna do quest sure custom is fine

#

But I am talking about making money and get good gear

He wants help to shoot better and get better.

This is how you make money.
...

safe badger
#

you want carry a pistol and shoot better>

wild musk
#

thats my main goal

safe badger
#

?

#

you need good gun and ammo

languid flare

I havent done a real money run this wipe and got proper guns and ammo.

You dont need money for that, but doing Quests for level and Reputation

safe badger
#

whatever

#

you can play the way you want

#

Exactly. Not saying thats wrong.
And while you did give him information, it was not what he asked for :P

safe badger
#

he was asking shoot better

#

i was telling him make money and good gear

#

so he doesn't have to headshot everytime

#

that's my point

#

I don't think being Shroud is something i can teach

#

like a aimbot

languid flare
#

He wants to get better at shooting, not headshot everytime.. even tho that would be nice.

He basically wants to know how to get better at PvP. The practical part

as a brand new player i find it impossible to learn customs and what i should be trying to loot first. should i be doing offline raids to start until i kmow the loot spawns?

slim maple
#

customs and factory are kind of killzones

desert compass
#

Interchange is better imo

knotty skiff
#

@agile epoch learn multiple paths through extracts and different locations first

desert compass
#

for newbies

slim maple
#

interchange is better for me

knotty skiff
#

No, he needs customs for quests

agile epoch
#

interchange is so scary

slim maple
#

there's a bunch of stashes near railway exit

#

you get a bunch of stuff from there

desert compass
#

Interchage is just good to go or onetap from heaven

slim maple
#

so if you're too afraid to go in just stay outside and find loot

agile epoch
#

theres all the crates in the warehouse by old gas station that i go to

#

but that seems too dangerous?

knotty skiff
#

@agile epoch learn things like, where do I go to find scavs, where do I go when I hear shooting in front of me, where’s a hole in the fence I can go through

#

Warehouses are useless for quests, except big red barn

agile epoch
#

fence holes were weird but im getting them down now

knotty skiff
#

Not worth worrying about for a very long time unless you’re wanting to search every little weapon box and tool box

agile epoch
#

so focus on quests not getting gear first?

knotty skiff
#

Yes

#

U can get gear using scavs

#

Learning map > quests > loot

#

In terms of going to a map to do things

agile epoch
#

ok any rec for who's quests tp do first? i was doing therapist but that seems slow for a first one

knotty skiff
#

At the start do every single one of them

fervent mica
#

You wanna do as many as possible in the beginning

knotty skiff
#

I... basically said that :<

#

All quests are good to do, some are harder u can ignore for a bit, but definitely not the starter tasks

agile epoch
#

ok ill keep praying for salewas lol

knotty skiff
#

First 10-20 quests u get are must do’s

#

I’ll help u on salewas later I’m busy and outside

#

Will u be on in 1-2 hours?

agile epoch
#

im not sure tbh but we'll see

knotty skiff
#

If u can, get someone to give u fuel

fervent mica
#

@agile epoch you can craft them, if you have fuel

knotty skiff
#

Then craft generator lvl 1 and med station lvl 1

fervent mica
#

they spawn pretty common in Oli

knotty skiff
#

Use the fuel to craft salewas

#

Dang it Bobby that’s my advice :<

#

/s but it’s good to see a Sherpa actually helping

agile epoch
#

whats the point of factory, just to quick extract as scavs or commit suicide as pmc?

#

thats the real killbox

knotty skiff
#

Factory for quests, and PvP

agile epoch
#

its like a TDM map its so hotzone

knotty skiff
#

Farming scavs is finally a thing for factory with a 5 man squad, but still has its risks

slim maple
#

it really does if you don't have a coordinated team

knotty skiff
#

It’s good for if u scav in, just want a quick gun and load out, get in, be careful, check your corners and leave

slim maple
#

last time I went in with a 5man we finished the run and I went to check office for stuff and got blasted by my teammate who didn't hear my callout

knotty skiff
#

No matter what squad u have unless you have a hive mind, a 5 man squad will still be hard to coordinate with especially on such a small map

slim maple
#

granted he was one of those noisy kids so he probably didn't bother to listen anyway

knotty skiff
#

There’s also the possibility of an early spawn for player scav, giving more chaos for the first minutes

agile epoch
#

i dont have an SSD so ive been spawn killed in factory

knotty skiff
#

I’ve once spawned in as a scav in factory at around 18 minute mark

agile epoch
#

i guess if you know the PMC spawns you can rush them

knotty skiff
#

Yes it’s easy for people to rush

#

Especially if you get in that back room

#

It’s stup- hey where’s the anti spam timer for this chat room?

agile epoch
#

ive done most of my playing on forest but that map has doodoo loot or at least it seems that way

knotty skiff
#

.

#

#

#

Mods! Put it back plz SadPotato

slim maple
#

not unless you kill sherman or whatever his name is

agile epoch
#

always get sniped too i just feel like there's no real starting place for a noob

knotty skiff
#

Sturman

#

Sherman.. close enough PepeLaugh

slim maple
#

I need to do my intro jaeger quest there but I keep getting sniped

#

so I halted that for a while

languid flare
#

Shturman. Close enough ;)

knotty skiff
#

@slim maple wait 2 minutes in a bush, players spawn really close to each other

#

It is possible to see the players if they walk 5 seconds toward u

latent kayak
#

did they lower the level requirement to get prapor lev 4?

languid flare
#

If its 33, then no

latent kayak
#

hmm i guess i'm blind i always had lev 4 prapor

knotty skiff
#

Yeah prapor lvl 4, along with therapist lvl 4, are each 33 and 32 respectively

latent kayak
#

ohhhh i just hit 33

knotty skiff
#

They’re not where you expect them to be in terms of lvl 4 unlocks, jaeger being an extreme outlier

latent kayak
#

yea

knotty skiff
#

Jaeger is 29 yeah?

languid flare
#

No.
He is dum and fat :(

knotty skiff
#

No you’re dum and fat :<

#

That’s not how you describe jaeger, the words you’re looking for is: dummy thicc

languid flare
#

Well. I know.
But i can at least admit it.

knotty skiff
#

I wish u can interact with wildlife in this game, like hunting, stalking, and gutting deer bear and other wildlife idk what’s in Russia

rough hare
#

hunting a bear with a toz

knotty skiff
#

Pretty sure it would only irritate it

#

Maybe lose an eye, but only make it more of a badass

languid flare
#

Russia has everything.
Deer, hog, wolf, bear.... you name it.

cunning arch
#

Whats the best way to kill PMC'S in shoreline

hot zenith
#

rush resort

#

it's either hatchlings or mid-tier loot bois

#

or complete chads

languid flare
#

So.. every kind

hot zenith
#

well, you either get some really easy kills

#

or completely waffle stomped

lament sundial
#

Oi Bun where is my $10 moon2A @knotty skiff

bitter crescent
#

I need to survive a raid in shoreline for 2 different quests

#

I swear last 10 raids I went in I died.

#

I can play any other map with decent success and luck

#

but stupid shoreline I always die

spice otter
#

Damn that sucks, health care privacy and signal I'm guessing?

bitter crescent
#

somebody halp

#

spa tour part2, the cult part 1

#

I tried night 3 times and day idk how many times

spice otter
#

Damn, I hate those quests.

bitter crescent
#

I'm just excessively unlucky

#

Will a run through count as a success for that quest ?

languid flare
#

No

#

Needs to be 'Survived' status.
So either waiting 10min or getting enough XP

fossil saffron
#

@languid flare 450 xp is the limit

rough hare
#

is scav case worth grinding for (currently poor)

spice otter
#

Yes, def

languid flare
#

Eh, I would say 'I dont know'

#

If you get lucky: well, of course
But for me so far it has been mostly 'meh'

rough hare
#

its the only upgrade I haven't got

#

just curious if its better to waste all my money on svds for pun. 6 or on the case

ebon willow
#

any tips for shotgun kills on woods? why is that even a thing lol not on factory oh no in the middle of a woodland when scavs can oneshot you now

rough hare
#

scav house and lumber worked for me, depends on where you spawn and if you have any other woods quests though

ebon willow
#

Ive been running both, Ive killed 3 players and ive only killed 2 scavs

#

scavs are harder then players ffs

#

I cant get close

languid flare
#

Try slugs, preferred ap-20
Gives your shotgun range

ebon willow
#

Got them

#

still lacking that 20m-ish distance, just going to give up on woods XD

rough hare
#

I found that quest alright, took like 2 runs, I just avoided players completely

ebon willow
#

Yup I only killed the 3 i saw because it was easy and on route but damn those scavs got me every time

rough hare
#

definitely avoid the sniper scav, that cuck always headshots my ass

#

and if you hear shturman, unless your confident, don't bother going near lumber

jaunty forge
#

i am the succ

#

help me not be the succ

rough hare
#

I am level 37 but still very succ, wish i could help

jaunty forge
#

just having someone to play with man

#

if you know exits and stuff

rough hare
#

for some maps πŸ˜‚

jaunty forge
#

factory?

rough hare
#

definitely learn those before playing xD

jaunty forge
#

lol

rough hare
#

factory is one of the easiest to learn, but ruthless sometimes

jaunty forge
#

i played awhile ago and now im just getting back into things. I hear that you now need to kill people to sell loot?

#

is that true?

ocean fable
#

quite the opposite, you can vendor all loot however you can only sell things with the found in raid checkmark in the fleamarket. meaning in needs to have spawned in the very raid you enter. If a pmc brings gear into a raid and you kill him that gear will not be found in raid since he brought it in himself

#

even if he himself found it the previous raid

#

its supposed to prevent resellers, people buying things from the flea market and reselling them for a higher price causing most good items to be out of stock with the vendors most of the time... but luckily thats in the past

#

*reselling items from vendors on the flea market

jaunty forge
#

so i can still do a hatchet run and sell to venders? @ocean fable

rough hare
#

you can almost always sell to vendors

#

I think the only exception is when the item is too damaged

jaunty forge
#

thank you!

knotty skiff
#

thats not true

#

you can vendor broken stuff to fence

#

every item in the game has a value with the traders

#

meaning everything can be sold to traders

sleek pawn
#

Hello! My buddy just bought the game for me yesterday and I’m pretty excited even though I’ve been dying all day. I’d love for a Sherpa to run SCAVS with to build up my confidence. I also stream on twitch so if I could stream these raids that would be dope, if not it’s cool Sherpa

knotty skiff
#

fence buys...everything, but lower than other traders, exceptions being flash drives, and to an extent, SAS drives and other related items

#

@jaunty forge @rough hare

shut pelican
#

can your skills go down a lvl or am i trippin? thought i had lvl 2 attention but its at lvl 1 19/29

#

19/20*

bold kernel
#

Skills reduce with inactivity and being unused.

#

far as I can tell

knotty skiff
#

u cant lose skill points but your skills can drop a level, via stims, food items, and other bad passives

#

what..

bold kernel
#

double checking if I'm wrong but the memory skill does still exist last I checked. which was a skill that helped maintain skill gain and prevent decay...

void gale
#

It’s there but doesn’t have an effect on anything

#

It was patched out a while ago

knotty skiff
#

I assumed it was a place holder skill, yeah what turban said, like 'charisma' where the discounts and prices dont mean anything

#

it would be nice if memory was changed to, how many % extra can u learn skill points a raid, the soft cap being 3 or so skill points every raid unless you dont use it for 5 minutes

bold kernel
#

The only note on it is skill rollback being removed but the memory skill exists so I presume inactive skills slowly decay still.

#

Considering prices of vendors change to reflect market idk if even charisma is just a place holder or actually reduces prices...

knotty skiff
#

thats probably true, if anything it would decay a very miniscule amount, or its punishing for players who dont play alot

#

no, I guarantee you that it doesnt reduce prices

bold kernel
#

I'd like to see the testing done for it...

knotty skiff
#

@bold kernel whats your current charisma skill? we can compare trader prices

#

2 items per trader, easy test, as long as we dont have the same level we can test this easy

digital kernel
#

Anyone here that needs help with early quests or just general stuff regarding the game dm me I have a solid group of people and we are looking to take a newer player/s under our wings and teach them to fly.

knotty skiff
#

@digital kernel I'll help u after I confirm a few things, actually maybe you can help

#

can u tell me how much a paca costs from ragman lvl 1?

bold kernel
#

level 9... although it's numbers look... off

digital kernel
#

28k?

knotty skiff
#

could u tell me the exact numbers please?

digital kernel
#

28367?

knotty skiff
#

yeah, it doesnt seem to change

digital kernel
#

no it doesnt

knotty skiff
#

could u also tell me your 'charisma' lvl?

#

under skills

digital kernel
#

8

knotty skiff
#

if it isnt lvl 11, then yeah, it doesnt change

bold kernel
#

I have the same price... so charisma might still be place holder.

digital kernel
#

yeah it changes when you get higher but as far as I know the early cha does not do anything for you

knotty skiff
#

oh my bad, I thought u needed help Rn, whoops

bold kernel
#

Still leaves question of if memory is also a place holder...

digital kernel
#

No no I was offering help to those who need it

knotty skiff
#

I assumed you were low lvl so I thought u only had lvl 1 traders my bad XD

bold kernel
#

some skills are confirmed active... and who knows how much that'll change.

knotty skiff
#

yeah theres that, I cant do any testing with the memory skill, I could possibly check if it will lose any amount over night

digital kernel
#

I also believe the memory is currently a place holder as it doesnt do anything as of right now your skills dont go down.

knotty skiff
#

if it doesnt lose even 0.1 on, say, lvl 17 perception which is out of 100 points at this rate, then even IF it exists, it wouldnt matter, I'll probably test it with game running off for 8 hours of sleep and 8 hours on, with 8 hours of sleep

bold kernel
#

I assume it was at a rate of days possibly... some ppl I know rarely play..

lime willow
#

"Ran Through" is just an EXP penalty and all stuff gets marked Not-FIR, right?

digital kernel
#

yes for the most part

#

those are the biggest down sides for runthrough. and it is easily avoidable. Just wait for 10 mins once you are in and you wont get one. I understand that newer players get like a graphics card or intel and lose their mind but just relax and take it slow and just try to survive and you will get out with that pay day.

hallow hemlock
#

anyone else have the delivery from the past quest and want to do it with me so we can watch each others backs?

#

i have done this quest first day πŸ˜‚

hallow hemlock

#

let alone fight my way through factory and plant the damn thing

muted compass
#

is 55 fmj or m855 better

rough hare
#

I got it first try faded, just play it slow, or if you get the spawn next to the drop off you can run if you want

hallow hemlock
#

alr

rough hare
#

thats my advice, although I am certainly no sherpa

hallow hemlock
#

no joke i been trying that quest since ive started and ive been playing for well over a week now

#

i cant even extract out of customs without getting shot by a camper with a sniper rifle that i cant even see

rough hare
#

I don't know what to say, other than it happens to everyone

hallow hemlock
#

yeah

#

imma try and solo it and play slow

rough hare
#

by all means attempt to get someone to help you if you want, #pvp-lfg

hallow hemlock
#

well i already queued into the game

rough hare
#

oof

eternal umbra
#
