this is also true
foggy stratus
Damn ur flee market rep is low
plain sigil
Real meme is going in with a full gearset, good guns and ammo and immediately getting sniped out 40 seconds in
just happened to me
trail hollow
It's low because I just got the game like 2 weeks ago
foggy stratus
Communism what gear
trail hollow
And I'm level 13
trail hollow
So I just got access to Flea Market like 2 days ago
foggy stratus
Also what kinda armor and helm
plain sigil
Level 4 armor from the eod and a pimped out mpx i took from some dude on customs. It was reserve. Helm was a level 4 with visor also, don't remember what it was called.
lament portal
i check every item on flea and refresh a few times and meanwhile check if it's for a quest/barter/craft also
plain sigil
Still learning armor names and stuff
foggy stratus
If it was a lvl 4 helmet chances are the visor was 3
So if he headeyesd you ur dead
vital zephyr
dangggg
foggy stratus
True is it not lol
barren dome
this setup quest fucking blows
plain sigil
I didn't even see where he shot me, I was so fucking angry I alt tabbed and closed the game lol
trail hollow
Ok what type of shotgun ammo?
plain sigil
Dark green
trail hollow
Alright
foggy stratus
Tc2001 maybe?
trail hollow
I sell all the shotgun ammo anyways because Im not a shotgun dude and It's no use to me keeping
trail hollow
Anyways gtg nice talking to you guys
plain sigil
No, not that. That can't run a visor can it?
lament portal
to the scav i just head/naped with 366 fmj, my bad
plain sigil
It was an LZsh
foggy stratus
Can’t stand those personally
The visor doesn’t help u at all
If it’s the eye cover one atleast
plain sigil
I yoinked it off some dude on factory night time so I used it because it was the best armor I had
foggy stratus
Not bad
With helmets u want as much coverage as possible
Don’t sacrifice ear coverage for a headset
Not worth it
Sure you can hear better but it won’t matter if he taps u
plain sigil
I shouldn't really get credit for the kill tbh he was balls deep in a fight with someone else and I shot him in the back
Thats fair. I don't use headsets often
foggy stratus
Lmao how it goes sometimes
Personally I either do Zsh helmets or BNTI which are a lot more expensive but hella good
plain sigil
I'm still only like level 7, i don't have access to flea market yet. Only had the game like 2 days
foggy stratus
Ah gotcha gotcha
lapis mauve
for me headsets are better than helmets, if i can hear you first i can kill you without you ever seeing me
foggy stratus
I’ve survived way too many cracked visors to not use them
lapis mauve
unless you wear altyn that will happen
plain sigil
I feel like i get head eyesd by every scav i ever see almost immediately. battlestate needs to dial it back lmao
lapis mauve
i swap between lvl 3 visor and slaap
foggy stratus
Shotgun scavs always black my legs out from 100 meter shotguns it’s brain dead
lapis mauve
if you see them first you are fine. if they see you first get to cover and don't repeek the same angle
vital zephyr
also why is there so many damn quest on snoreline
lament portal
now you're doing it
plain sigil
Shoreline isn't bad when the ttvs leave the mosins and svds in their stash lol
vital zephyr
everytime i go to the embassy i just get straight sniped lmao
vital zephyr
i gotta go there for one of therapist quest 😦
foggy stratus
Which one
vital zephyr
its the body one
foggy stratus
Uuhhh which body one...
lapis mauve
wait for the last 10 min and go in. most people will be gone
vital zephyr
um lemme remember
foggy stratus
I’ve done all of them but can’t remember which one ur talking about
vital zephyr
i think its colleagues
vital zephyr
yeah
foggy stratus
Lmao
foggy stratus
Night time
lament portal
how does the Scav aggro work when you're a player scav who killed an AI scav?
lament portal
so if they didn't come for me in like a minute they're not coming?
lapis mauve
the body at resort is outside
foggy stratus
They shouldn’t but don’t put ur guard down
plain sigil
@lament portal They immediately attempt to steal your kneecaps basically
vital zephyr
i just fail to leave whenever i get to embassy
foggy stratus
Limitz best advice is, try and get a tunnel spawn on night time hatchet run the beach and just haul ass to mine field after the objective
From there it’s ezpz
foggy stratus
Yeah it’s always the best bet for questing
plain sigil
Is hatchet running the bigger maps viable? I feel like you'd get murdered even more frequently
foggy stratus
No just take ur time
plain sigil
I hatchet run factory pretty often tho
foggy stratus
I’ve done maybe 75% of my questing hatchet based purely to save money
vital zephyr
yeah its usually pretty easy to hide from a team of 5 fully kitted all with killa helms and visors so hatchet running isnt that bad
foggy stratus
It tests ur sanity for sure but you’ll get it done with a bit of rng scav spawn luck
plain sigil
I'm gonna have to do it more frequently on customs and reserve then. My shekel count is getting low
foggy stratus
Hell even the 3 gunpowder hiding on night time factory closet I did hatchet with a beta container
prisma trellis
can some one teach me
vital zephyr
oh i just took an alt and a mpx with 6.3 for that quest
foggy stratus
Lol
Communism the secret to hatchet runs, slow and planned movement
Plan out ur route and know ur options
If shit goes wrong know how to evade and reroute
plain sigil
@prisma trellis jump in one the beginner's assistance voice channels, they're always down to help out
plain sigil
@foggy stratus I'm still working on map knowledge but I know customs well enough to probably be able to do it
@prisma trellis 2 is open. It's got 4 out of 5
foggy stratus
If ur just starting out the only maps u need to know are factory and customs
foggy stratus
Reserve is a waste of time atm, labs aswell
lament portal
fuckyea got out with my flash drive
plain sigil
I've heard reserve is good to know too though because it has an assload of loot no?
vital zephyr
HEY
foggy stratus
Nah
foggy stratus
He’s low level tho limitz
foggy stratus
Until u get late game it’s not necessary to know
vital zephyr
this is very true
foggy stratus
I’m talking purely quest based
prisma trellis
im new
foggy stratus
Interchange is hella useful to know
prisma trellis
just got it4
vital zephyr
yeah it takes time to learn interchange tho
foggy stratus
Interchange is probably the most stressful map to hatchet run
vital zephyr
theres so many different routings and flanks
especially if killa sees you
that man will chase you
across the map
foggy stratus
I’ve probably almost shit myself half a dozen times on interchange hatchet runs
plain sigil
Ahhhh, yeah, i need to work on those. I'm only on the second quest for therapist and prapor and the first on the others
foggy stratus
Hiding in clothing stores etc etc
vital zephyr
theyre not that bad, they just involve surviving
vital zephyr
ive been trying to get my shooter born in heaven im only level 25 but its been a bit diff
thats fine if youre just starting
foggy stratus
Lmao I’m lvl 39 rn but haven’t played in maybe a month and a half
plain sigil
I've watched enough aquafps to feel like shooter born in heaven is gonna suck balls terribly
prisma trellis
think u gusy could teach me
vital zephyr
it depends
foggy stratus
It fucken blows communism
vital zephyr
spawning has a lot to do with shooter born in heaven
foggy stratus
I’ve given up on quests purely because I won’t get kappa due to it
vital zephyr
i got interchange down so quickly cause i got power spawn
plain sigil
Hey man, that quadripalegic dude did it, you probably can too
vital zephyr
if anything xc just ask a sherpa for help
foggy stratus
Xc do offline raids to learn the maps
vital zephyr
that too
prisma trellis
yea
foggy stratus
U can even set bot difficulty in those
plain sigil
@prisma trellis best advice i can give you is to run offline a few times and practice on aim. I did it a lot on customs because im not normally a m&k player
foggy stratus
Best chance for getting better with gun mechanics is fighting scav boss on customs
It’s easy enough but still a bit challenging for newer players
plain sigil
I've only had a pc for a week, and running customs offline improved my aim TREMENDOUSLY
foggy stratus
What I’ve figured out from tarkov is, unlike any other game with ads etc most of the time it’s not the best option in tarkov
Long range sure
But in buildings u can usually get away with hip firing
plain sigil
I'm still working on hipfire. It's different than any other game i've played. Your movement can change where the rounds go, inuries etc etc so the learning curve is taking some getting used to. especially since i played console my whole life until a week ago
foggy stratus
Takes time
Best advice for that
Lasers
Can’t remember the name off the top of my head but the tan square box laser attachment that has 4 different modes
foggy stratus
It has a faint red circle option u can enable that gives u the laser accuracy addition but doesn’t actually show a laser
It might be
The LS321
That’s the one I’m thinking of
Holosun LS321 Tactical device
plain sigil
I'm almost there. I may just grind out to 10 tonight, I've got about a metric fuck ton of sugar to sell
foggy stratus
How much
plain sigil
9 or 10 i think
plain sigil
Ahhh, is that why it sells so high on flea?
foggy stratus
Moonshine production yeah
vital zephyr
yes
plain sigil
Thanks for the heads up, i was planning on selling all of them
foggy stratus
It’ll take u a while till u get there but if u save all of them from now on, you won’t run out for a while by the time u get there
Can’t stress upgrading hideout enough
Crafting of better ammo, scav case, moonshine etc are all HUGE benefits in progression
plain sigil
I've been working on it on and off. Whenever I have the spare cash I'll upgrade one or two things
languid flare
I dunno if crafting Moonshine is.
Buying it is probably cheaper/same price
plain sigil
Which has not been often
languid flare
SO about 20-16%, fair
foggy stratus
Ye depending on time of day
languid flare
But how long in comparison what you need to build first?
foggy stratus
Ye same
plain sigil
Saaaaaame east coast gang

Does anyone else's messenger in Tarkov CONSTANTLY glitch out and double notifications? Or you'll log in and it will be like (18) and there's nothing at all?
foggy stratus
Idk Florida isn’t that bad in terms of actual shithole
It’s more of the lack of common sense
Nobody has it
plain sigil
Louisiana is the biggest shit hole in the country and nobody will ever convince me otherwise
plain sigil
Fuck Lousiana
plain sigil
fuck ft polk in particular
vital zephyr
you could ever step foot in
foggy stratus
Bro I got my license last December and i can drive better then 50 year olds here
It’s fucken unbelievable
lament portal
no i'm the biggest shitfhole
foggy stratus
Lmfao

Just run them off the road. Shitty drivers deserve it
foggy stratus
If only
vital zephyr
sadly
foggy stratus
My car costs more then half these peoples homes
foggy stratus
No lmao it was more of a figure of speech
plain sigil
Well thats not hard when their homes $8k trailers lmao
vital zephyr
i got into a car accident two weeks ago talking about driving
fking person ran a light 😦
foggy stratus
People down here are either middle class white or low income homes living in 90 year old small houses
foggy stratus
More factual then racist
plain sigil
You don't know what they identify as. They could be trans african american
foggy stratus
Oh my bad the Hispanic down the road classified as black African American white by nature with Apache helicopter as their sex
plain sigil
I sexually identify as a toaster oven
plain sigil
Wow that's sexist. You're canceled
foggy stratus
Got me
lament portal
Sex depends on the anatomy. Gender depends on the society or culture.
Male and female are sex categories. Masculine and feminine are gender categories. hth
foggy stratus
U see that’s where I draw the nobody cares card
We in a tarkov discord nobody cares about specifics especially when it’s in meme fashion
lament portal
i mean it seems like you do a little you've exchanged like 5 messages back and forth hah
no worries i'm not here to argue
plain sigil
I personally feel we put too much emphasis on that shit. There's bigger shit to worry about than whether or not you feel like a different gender tbh
like how im gonna make the money back i just lost getting FUCKING SPAWN KILLED
lament portal
big fax
foggy stratus
Pmc runs are a gamble
U can go in with 700k worth of gear and get tapped out in seconds
plain sigil
I know, I'll get over it eventually. It was my first big loss so I'm going through the stages of grief
lament portal
i didn't lose that shit. did i? i FUCKING lost that shit. i LOST it. i lost it. ok let's go again
foggy stratus
Losing good shit first couple times sucks, but once u start winning gun fights because of it u put a benefit of running with it over dying with it and just buying it back from the flee market, once u have it unlocked that is
plain sigil
Oh i know i have it. I played hunt showdown for a while so i thought i'd be more ready. I was not. I have way more fun in tarkov though. Like @lament portal said, I always wanna go again pretty quick
foggy stratus
Yeah that’s why I just sell everything and buy shit off flee market. I save 4-7 mill in my stash for overflow loses then just buy kits and sell profits
Good raid, dump sell go again. Die? Buy a kit fast and go in
Very rarely am I in my stash sorting shit out and organizing
opaque garnet
cmv: there's no point in running anything decent because you'll just get killed by dudes with million dollar kits. might as well just hatchling every single raid
lament portal
ehhh
i watched a clip of a dude killing lvndmark with a really nice grenade toss because he was listening close today or yesterday
foggy stratus
Lvndmark is a different breed of player. He’s the worst nightmare scenario as I call it
The full gear lvl 70 chad that pushes the hallway on u rather then 99% of the player base that won’t
Or Val gamers
opaque garnet
There's a bunch of tasks that I can't do simply because going to where I need to go results in death. Can't fight my way in, can't sneak my way in, and can't move if i'm hiding lol
lament portal
i still want someone to explain how jittery and perfect the post match movement mapping on pestily games is uhhh legit
foggy stratus
Resort do night time, interchange night time woods extreme luck and night time dorms wait for maybe 20ish minutes then try and go fast as fuck
opaque garnet
exactly my point, but I'm never going to level up if i can't do tasks and a bunch of my hideout upgrades are gated by LL
foggy stratus
Just hatchet run and don’t give up
I’m tellin ya it takes a few try’s but once u do it it’s hella good feeling
lament portal
Not to be discouraging, but that's mostly by design, but yes, follow the advice they are giving
you don't have to have kappa to have fun either
opaque garnet
Hell, I'd like to do the first upgrade on my stash. I still have alpha
lament portal
i saved up the money for level 2 stash before i hit 10 just doing scav runs
lament portal
i get that you're frustrated. but understand i'm not trying to be rude
i'm trying to explain
foggy stratus
What kinda quests have u going to resort before u can even upgrade ur stash
opaque garnet
100+ raids and I'm level 17, sr <27%
i need another 600k rouble
for stash
and i need mechanic ll2 for a ton of upgrades
lament portal
scav runs are free money if you're not doing those enough
opaque garnet
stash is full atm
foggy stratus
Lvl 39 and I’m 75% through my quests but yea gimme attitude for trying to help my bad my bad
lament portal
sell some shit, stack some shit, discard some trash if needed.
make enough room for a scav run worth of shit to sell on flea
foggy stratus
Almost like it works smoothbrain
opaque garnet
fuck off cunt
lament portal
yeah, no it wasn't. you're just being a salty dickhole
foggy stratus
Mans polished out here
foggy stratus
Mans literally polished his brain
plain sigil
You ain't gotta be a cunt about it tbh my guy. We get it, your parents don't love you
opaque garnet
yea, and?
foggy stratus
It’s fine guys he won’t get anywhere and give up
lament portal
no we were trying to be helpful but you just want someone to give you some magic button
opaque garnet
Don't worry, ill kill myself soon enough
lament portal
good god
opaque garnet
well maybe not soon enough for these guys lol
lament portal
speaking of blocked
foggy stratus
Clearly baiting for a report lmao
plain sigil
I have him blocked anyway, don't care to argue with him
foggy stratus
Hell give up on the game soon enough
People with that little self control die once then uninstall
lament portal
imagine buying intentionally one of the most frustrating games ever and then complaining that it's frustrating
foggy stratus
Then asking for help and saying THE HELP is wrong
lament portal
lol
foggy stratus
Almost like I’ve got over 100 hrs at this point lvl 39 and a 45% survival with over 400 raids
Wow Yeah my bad bro keep going
lament portal
i'm absolute trash but i would never act like that
foggy stratus
Anyone with common sense and a will to improve wouldn’t
He’s looking for a end all be all solution to him being shit and it’s just not possible
lament portal
he wanted like "oh yeah hit the P button and everyone dies"
foggy stratus
Games designed to piss u off and when u come back piss u off some more lmao
Tbf night time raids require fair amount of map knowledge but still
lament portal
that wasn't the only advice given
foggy stratus
Tbh tho if u learn the map in night time u get very comfortable in daytime fast as fuck
I learned all the maps in night time and I’d say I picked them up twice as fast because of it
Purely because of audio cues for certain spots and just knowing where to move for least amount of noise
lament portal
meanwhile i'm mid-raid over here hiding in a bush to tab out and give advice
foggy stratus
Lmfao
plain sigil
@lament portal you wanna run a few with me when you're done?
lament portal
sure
plain sigil
coolsies. i find this game to be twice as fun with team mates tbh
M855 is super good isn't it? Just found some
lament portal
855 is decentish i believe lemme check
plain sigil
Ammo chart says it's good starter ammo. Just needed to know whether to keep or sell it
lament portal
gotta make a bit of room quick
plain sigil
Right on, I'm doing a quick hatchet run and I;ll be ready
lament portal
sounds good
plain sigil
Got shot immediately even though I wiggled at him lmao
lament portal
hah ok one sec running to the restroom
languid flare
@lament portal 855 is good vs Scavs, but very bad vs anything PMC
855a1 is the base ammo one
855 is, if you are below lvl 10, for sure the best you can get atm tho.
lime willow
not 856a1 absolute baseline huh
lime willow
i think i need to check prices again, cuz im drawing too much from 545 BS being pretty much identical to igolnik
languid flare
Igolnik is 'slightly' better, but not worth it if its more.
But thats 545 😛
lime willow
mhmm, I've just been playing with 545 all this time cuz AK74s are ezpz to get, and punisher
languid flare
Like, BS actually 'only' has 51 pen
lime willow
igolnik is "what is armor" of the 545 caliber lol
eh, i'll get to play with 556 soon
languid flare
Iam right now.
Its fast and low recoil
But Iam not familiar with gun mods yet, so its somewhat random, lol
main crest
killed a pmc that was jumping in the middle of customs land bridge, then killed his buddy that was trying to loot his dead body, good for level 12
drifting jolt
@main crest why do you have so many food and med items outside of the cases? if the cases are full sell the extra shit... you dont need all that
same with bullets...
drifting jolt
still though, you got 9 bottles of water you dont need lol
main crest
i just got them from quest
drifting jolt
your stash gives me anxiety
main crest
its just unorganized
drifting jolt
that's why lol
main crest
ok well i dont have much cases
drifting jolt
If your food case is full, you'll never need any more food items than what's in the case.
Pretty much same with meds
drifting jolt
You're talking in beginner's assistance...

how do i not die to geared eod's in the first 2 minutes of a raid?

Learn to take it slow, also learn what spawns you get and where the other people are spawning as that can help you decide where to move to
languid flare
EoD or not does not matter :)
Iam standard and also geared
lapis mauve
you can be standard with a stock ak and no armor, but if you have good ammo and know the spawns you can kill people before they leave spawns

and too heavy

@foggy lagoon just had my first extraction yeah 😛 just doing runs with pistol currently, trying to kill 1 or 2 scavs, if i get a backpack i scavenge a bit... made it to my first extraction right now 🙂

Make your shmoners with your scav
Find some bags and weapons
Then go pmc with what you've found
waxen cairn
when using nightvision and pain killer the screen becomes very grainy, any thing i can do to get around that?
waxen cairn
indeed, but is there something in the setting to reduce that?
cloud rover
I don't think there is
languid flare
Get a better NVG I guess?
waxen cairn
this doesnt happen with the better ones?
languid flare
Dunno, but I know the better ones have better quality
celest condor
The over sharpened effect to the painkillers is intentional and meant as a debuff for when you are under the effects of a painkiller. SO no, not really any good way to remove that effect.
languid flare
And yet the over sharpening actually helps me see things in certain situations...
xD
hollow shard
Oh shot i just realized this is where i can get some help in tarkov?
broken frost
thats what I was hoping lol
languid flare
Mostly questions answered, but yeah
hollow shard
Can someone que with me at somepoint? I cant kill anyone and i'm out of guns...
languid flare
Using Scavs to get money/Guns is advised 🙂
languid flare
If you are out of anything, really.
broken frost
I've had the game like 4 days and im on lvl10 and got a few million rubles
all I did was watch a video saying "pick a map, learn a loot route, do that, repeat"
languid flare
You are doing very well
languid flare
You took your name literally 😛
broken frost
reccomend you do the same @hollow shard
I did haha
im named this so that a particular german alliance would always target me first in eve online, the ethos kinda stuck 😄
languid flare
Fair enough.
broken frost
but yeah scav runs are sooooo important for new players
especially on a map that has the uhhh blue barrel things that spawn a chance for any item from any loot table
languid flare
Even later they can be very good still.
Caches 🙂
broken frost
oooh fair enough
languid flare
IC, Customs, Woods and Shoreline has em
fiery latch
For the next loyalty on peacekeeper, do I have to spend 11k or do I have to sell 11k worth of items
sharp heath
either
languid flare
Sell/buy a total of
sharp heath
it counts both
fiery latch
Oh tanks
sharp heath
best way is to find something they buy for about the same price it sells on flea market
fiery latch
So could I just buy dollars using roubles ?
languid flare
Yes
sharp heath
yea
languid flare
Considering how you will need Dollars in the future, its not even a bad thing
sharp heath
not at all. i use a few thousand dollars at least every day
broken frost
I sell everything that doesnt go on the auction house to peacekeeper
I want the LL2 stuff
@languid flare customs has them too? I've only ever died in 5 mins on that map never found a cache 😄
Im basically sticking to interchange now I know a good route
languid flare
Yeah, has em too.
I dont know all of them either tho
IC is my money route too, cause Reserve doesnt run well for me xD
broken frost
never tried it
and my friends said "dont try labs, avoid factory til you can afford to buy & insure good armor & surgery kit for every run"
because I get in gunfights a lot 😄
languid flare
Factory is pure PvP
Barely any loot
And labs is either sweaty fortress or cheater heaven
broken frost
aight, avoiding those lol
sharp heath
factory is a great map to learn the game
languid flare
You gotta go Factory soon for a few Quests tho.
sharp heath
its relatively small few players and lots of action to get good reps in
languid flare
Eh, I really dislike it.
But to each their own.
I'd never recommend it to someone new.
I only go there with class 5 and Altyn now xD
sharp heath
idk. hunter and a headset will really get you working on those headshots for a low price
languid flare
That would imply me being able to hit said head
broken frost
that and the mosin I found on a player
sour halo
Is the headset from ragman the one always avalible good?
broken frost
it seems to make a giant ass difference for me
languid flare
@sour halo Better than none, but not the best
broken frost
no headset is a lot worse than (any headset) imo
you hear so much less with no headset
sour halo
Im new and was told using a headset is good
broken frost
it is
sour halo
Is the difference that big?
sharp heath
very good but that headset sucks
broken frost
but im new too so dont trust me 😄
sharp heath
huge difference
languid flare
It is significant enough, yes
sharp heath
crappy headset is better than no headset big time
broken frost
so no headset -> any headset = huge difference
but -that headset- = bad compared to (better headsets)
languid flare
No headset < gssh < all others (preference)
sharp heath
yea
sour halo
Thanks for the info guys
languid flare
Always happy to help
sour halo
Lol
sharp heath
;]
sour halo
Also I find that in fights the damaged or in pain effects make it harder to aim am I supposed to be popping painkillers preemptively
languid flare
Not... supposed.
But its a common tactic
broken frost
I mean
the painkiller oversharpening makes it easier to see at ranges
so I unironically pop them whenever I hear guns nearby incase the next shot is at me
but im a mad paranoid
languid flare
Also helps in fights as a broken limb wont make you suddenly 10x worse
(arms for aiming; legs for walking)
broken frost
I crawled all the way from idea to railway exfil with two broken legs today
the least fun, most scary 24 minutes of my life outside fighting with the ~$2000 a ship ships on eve
broken frost
I've not even seen either of those in-game yet lol
languid flare
Vaseline isnt too rare.
broken frost
must just be getting looted before I get anywhere lol
languid flare
Maybe ^^
cloud rover
Therapist buys vaseline for 5k
And on the flea it's 20k
nice
I got 2 paracords sitting in my stash
What do I do with them
wise stream
keep em till you have RR, or sell
vocal nest
can sell them on the flea if they're FIR, or keep them around either to use with a RR for some of the extracts, or use them in the barter trade for a sicc case
cloud rover
oh sicc case

theres a quest for fir paracord too i think

How can I improve my comms? I keep getting separated from my group no matter who I play with and am not confident on identifying team/enemy players.

can you do scav runs with other people?
@lone field yes u can
How can I improve my comms? I keep getting separated from my group no matter who I play with and am not confident on identifying team/enemy players.
@void falcon update what youre doing and ask what eachother is wearing before the raid also dont be afraid to ask where are people
also it is fine to be separated from your team as long as you know who they are

Just curious if its worth hopping in mid wipe like this. Is everyone fat as hell and unkillable? I played a bit at the beginning of the wipe but stopped. Just curious if its impossible to hop in in people's opinion
iron sable
It's deffinetly still fun and there isn't a ton of fat Bois I've ran into. I think I've seen a altyn 3 times in 200 raids and a slick twice and both times I killed them kek I don't run labs though

@tame karma i just start 3 days ago haven’t had too much trouble with chads just dying because I’m dumb

The moment you get shot and lets say you have a pistol ADSing, does your accuracy temporarily bounce negative as you're stuck or does it not matter?

how can one help you kill scavs?
that's kind of a solo/easier quest bud...
we cant help you shoot things...

well im ass cheeks

Well run customs til you know it like the back of your hand
do you use the mapgenie maps?
analog arrow
i have a map not sure where its from
drifting jolt
no no... here, use these maps https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs
tells you EVERYTHING about the map, and the maps are interactive
the in game maps are garbo, people just collect them for fun really
analog arrow
okay thanks but my maps a lil better. ill just keep dying from scavs
drifting jolt
Bro... Like I don't mind helping for quests, but scav kill quests are the quests that are literally built for solo play. I'm not gonna run you around the map so you can kill scavs. My apologies.
prime nova
how do i level metabolism

@prime nova eat and drink
whenever you cant carry extra looted food/drink, eat it instead of leaving it there
always eat first, then drink

@toxic herald Thanks, I kept shooting a guy a millisecond after he shot me and his aim was bad but he kept preventing me from headshotting because he shot me first. It was really annoying

Yeah, don't do that.

ooof yeah dont do that lol

i mean i was the first time but now i just will join some peeps in a discord
and then
they fucking all surrond me and pick me to death with the pickaxes lol
granite apex
ive done that before sad day losing some nice gear.
granite apex
the best thing to do is to stay in a group in this specific discord server. dont go to a private player owned one because in here the mod will get them in trouble for doing that
dry fractal
alrighty thats good
granite apex
@dry fractal if you want to team up im down for a team up. i can drop you a little bit of stuff for a raid if you want.
dry fractal
sounds good man
somber thunder
Are you NA?
dry fractal
yea
granite apex
im in no way a good player but ive been getting better slowly.
dry fractal
no ya i get that fair enough lol
somber thunder
I can come along for a couple if you want too

Theres barely any mods to it meaning youll only have to spend on gun, ammo and the magazine, optional optics too

snow osprey
hi i have some experience in the game but i am having a hard time jumping from mid game to closer to end. I don't know how to reliably get better sets of armor without breaking the bank. I keep dieing bc my level 4 just keeps getting immediately pend. I love running nice m4s but i cant win a gunfight if there first or second bullet kills me and mine don't to them. I am looking for any advice to help me get better amour to run without destroying my wallet
drifting jolt
@snow osprey Trying do a bit more sniping... try taking scavs/players out at range
and then looting the bodies later... get more familiar with routes people run... and then try to run around those, but not through them
im rich af, and take in minimal gear
im not even a great shot
it's all in how you loot, and loot all bodies when you're a scav
but be patient, dont kill and then immediately loot
glass cloud
Learn budget setups and good positions/spawns on maps
Also if you're running a nice m4, which in my book translates to a below 34 recoil m4, I would atleast run c5 armor with an ulach minimum
bold kernel
how to do actual damage
like i swear body armor is inpenetrable
well, other people's armor
not mine
prisma trellis
im very new but ik this after watching the game moere than playing got to daddy prapor and buy mosins
hi penetration rate
jolly sentinel

i use pp91 and the cheapest 9x18 ammo i can find
bold kernel
9
errant wolf
Thats good
bold kernel
XD
i can't even do quests
i just got to this level through pure gameplay
XD
took me 55 hours i suck so much
errant wolf
Well do scav runs on factory and look for scavs that are using a shotgun
Or customs
Or once you hit level 10 buy them off the fleemarket
flint galleon
@bold kernel ammo matters more than the gun
errant wolf
Lord
bold kernel
too many chads in level 6 armor
flint galleon
depends on what round we'
errant wolf
Take my advice
flint galleon
re talking about
flint galleon
If you're running a pp91 then you're gonna have to play leg meta
bold kernel
what about headshots
errant wolf
Go in as a scav, scavs spawn in late and most pmc's are already gone
bold kernel
ok
prisma trellis
ya noh the game would be easir if single player counted
flint galleon
if they have any type of face shield then you still won't kill them @bold kernel
bold kernel
yeah i wish there was optional offline mode where you could get loot and stuff
flint galleon
that'd make the game way too easy
bold kernel
i'd rather fight scavs
errant wolf
I wouldn't talk about it here but sptarkov
prisma trellis
untill like level 10
bold kernel
sptarkov?
flint galleon
i'd suggest running an sks honestly
errant wolf
Or mosin
flint galleon
or that
bold kernel
ew i've tried sks
errant wolf
Mosin can pen level 6
flint galleon
PS ammo will pen level 3, and sometimes level 4
prisma trellis
yea
errant wolf
You're going to have to get used to iron sights a lot
prisma trellis
hes not wrong
flint galleon
the mosin will pen everything, but you need to tap someone twice to kill
bold kernel
hmmmm
prisma trellis
well head once
flint galleon
yup
errant wolf
Mosin is just good
flint galleon
check the wiki page for ballistics
bold kernel
k
flint galleon
9x18 is generally trash imo
errant wolf
Quakemaker any good btw?
errant wolf
Rip
flint galleon
trash unless leg meta imo
languid widget
errant wolf
Leg meta for any trash ammo
languid widget
ammo chart
flint galleon
both basically have no pen
why not just refer to wiki though https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics
errant wolf
Or watch pestily
languid widget
idk had that one open
flint galleon
i prefer vox_e for the ballistics
bold kernel
here comes another pestily fan jeeez
i always stop watching when he says let's crack straight into it
just cringe af
errant wolf
Teachers are cringe to
Defund teachers
Just because its cringe doesn't mean its not helpful
Knowing is better than ignorance
bold kernel
vox_e's vids are more helpful
basically pestily just rants about everything without editing or highlighting it
and the vid is usually 20~30 mins long
errant wolf
The raid series dude
bold kernel
when it doesnt have to
errant wolf
Its worth to watch him actually do the entire raid and pick up on gunfights and see if yoy can apply what he does in his fights on your own
bold kernel
there are better youtubers out there who does better at breaking down gunfire so no
some actual editing
errant wolf
Have you watched one of his videos all the way through?
bold kernel
yeah some
errant wolf
Were they stream highlights?
bold kernel
im not sure i dont watch his stream
bold kernel
what im saying is you only need to highlight the actual gunfire for like 3~5 mins or maybe a little bit more of some context
instead of running and gunning all the way through the end and that's not really helpful
some pauses to explain what was he processing
but no he did none of that
flint galleon
pestily doesn't push himself as a tutorial youtuber though
bold kernel
thats why you should never recommend a beginner to watch his vids for tutorial
there are better informative ones out there
thats what im saying
flint galleon
just because he's not a tutorial youtuber doesn't mean watching his videos won't help
it depends on what the beginner needs
if they just need someone to help them understand the flow of the game then pestily is fine
errant wolf
He made an entire new account and played from level one to level 38 so far
flint galleon
if they need a better understanding of how to fight then krashed is pretty good
bold kernel
you could save more time when you learn equivalent amount of information why would you watch his vids
it's cost effective
bold kernel
some people have actual life
errant wolf
Do you speedrun story driven games?
flint galleon
s like saying you could probably master the game through reading the entirety of the wiki
that would probably be the most cost effective way to be the best
drifting jolt
you dont learn much watching videos like that... a tip here or there, but you dont remember it if you're not in game applying what you've learned
bold kernel
^
drifting jolt
Learn how you wanna learn
some are visual learners
some need to do...
some need to read it
flint galleon
not everything has to be about "i want the best most efficient way to learn"
drifting jolt
As long as you're not broke... who gives af?
errant wolf
I'm a visual learner and I needed to learn what boobs were
bold kernel
short conclusion dont watch pestily's vids for tutorial
bruh this game too hard
thats all
drifting jolt
it's not too hard, you just have to play different
there's a bunch of people playing just like you
errant wolf
Be the rat
flint galleon
you can have an opinion, doesn't make it a fact though
bold kernel
i beat dark souls 3 and all the DLC content, but this game is way harder
errant wolf
You know how you beat dark souls?
tiny stag
what is the considered the next helmet upgrade from the penis helm?
drifting jolt
i dont like shroud but even he said you dont have to be a good shot in tarkov ot be a good tarkov player, you just gotta play smart
flint galleon
@tiny stag probably ulach?
errant wolf
By learning how the game works and using it to your advantage
tiny stag
ty ty
bold kernel
so the best way to play is to avoid conflict?
drifting jolt
dont engage every person you see... some times... not firing or retreating are your best options
errant wolf
Mostly
drifting jolt
yes @bold kernel
bold kernel
hm ok
drifting jolt
until you get more comfortable with the game
sneak around, play dirty... camp in bushes
flint galleon
it depends on what you're looking for @bold kernel
bold kernel
yeah i kind of play this like call of duty and bum rush everyone
drifting jolt
@bold kernel you need more trigtger time... once you get used to guns more, and the maps more
the game gets easier
bold kernel
ok
errant wolf
Learn to play slower
bold kernel
i will train
flint galleon
if all you're looking for are fun fights, don't let anyone stop you though
bold kernel
s like saying you could probably master the game through reading the entirety of the wiki
as everyone can edit the wiki i doubt it
