final wedge
last wipe was nice hit lvl 5 got flea get a val and go spam labs
ez money ez kills
fast lintel
wait so everything you grind for goes completely?
like even the stash size upgrades etc
when it wipes
final wedge
yes
fast lintel
cool
final wedge
tbh if u like the game
buy eod
stash size sucks
im lvl 7 cant sell shit and my stash is capped and im eod
its a joke
i have 3 rows of found in raid graphicscards
fast lintel
yeah but u can still get it eventually with standard
final wedge
ye but with the lvl 10 to unlock fleamarket it just sucks
u cant mod before lvl 10 cant get better guns
its insane
final wedge
dunno im at it for 3 days
but im not full grind
i usually run reserve try and get some no keys zero to hero runs
wich obviously often results in death and no xp xd
bold kernel
@stone moss sorry mid raid and eu
final wedge
but i guess i can do the the prapor quest on customs
for the therapist one u need a dorms key i dont have so that sucks
fast lintel
this is my stash managment rn keeping all the guns and stuff at the top
backpacks are all stacked at the bottom
final wedge
fast lintel
Do you only get a scav countdown if you died?
fast lintel
i extracted but i have my scav available to use again
no way its been 20 mins already
fast lintel
holy shit its been 20 mins already
wait countdown starts when ur ingame?
i thought 20 mins starts once u go back in to the menu
final wedge
no its not ur scav time ticks once ur in the raid
languid flare
..no.
final wedge
... yes
languid flare
100% not.
I have it upgraded so my timer is lower, but when I get out of scav, its still counting down.
From the timer it should be. (like 14 min or so)
Just checked, its 13min with Intelligence lvl 3, so yes.
Cant tell me it counts in raid when I see timers of 11-12min right when extracting as Scav

@final wedge I've been in scavs longer than 20mins and came out with a 13min+ timer still, so it does wait til you extract

@drifting jolt
Since you like interchange
Can you take me to interchange
And make sur ei dont get whooped
opaque garnet
Love wasting 30+ minutes trying to sneak and get some objectives only to die to some chad. Really stupid that you have to hatchling so much just to get objectives done
No matter how much or how good my gear is there's always a bigger fish, so to speak.
tall zenith
if anyone could help me out thatd be gr8 lol. lost all my guns and trying to do a scav run without dying
languid flare
@opaque garnet I havent had to hatchling this whole wipe and did all my Quests I wanted to do just fine.
Fair, I did it all in a duo (or rarely more), but nothing stops you from doing the same.
opaque garnet
I have no friends who play this, all they want to play is warzone
tall zenith
same lol
languid flare
Then look for someone in here, use LFG
I didnt know my duo before this either 😛
tall zenith
feel like nobody wanna que with a low level but will try. much appreciated
languid flare
it will be hard.
But if you wont try, noone will see it 🙂
lusty current
Can i cancel healing?
lusty current
I just watched a scav shoot me as i was sitting there doing surgery on myself
😦
So stressful didnt know wich button i clicked about everything lol
languid flare
left click should do it, if not then 2 (main gun shortcut) should
raw zenith
@lusty current i feel for you dude!
i collected just about the best loot ive ever got this morning then accidentally fell through a crack in the building and broke both my legs! managed to limp 90% of the way to extract and got one shotted by a scav!
vernal iris
When I get to a door I see a few options in the drop down menu like open, breach, move in. How do I select one of those rather than just the top option?
sturdy timber
Anyone know what's the best way to do bunker pt2?
raw zenith
@vernal iris use the mouse wheel
vernal iris
Does that work on a scav bc I was trying but nothing happened
drifting jolt
@fiery latch sorry but I had fallen asleep
raw zenith
@vernal iris im sure it does, sometimes the options are greyed out though and you cant select them
vernal iris
Kk ty!
opaque garnet
I learned something amazing today. If you get to an extraction and you need more time to extract than whats left you can still extract! Got to emercom on inter with less than 5 seconds left. needed 8 to get out. once the timer hit 0 it just went blank and the last few seconds of extract counted down and i got out lol phew!
unreal imp
Its just a timer bug, the time it shows you is not your pmcs actual raid time, when that hits to 0 its over
ember pendant
Ifs really iffy. I've had it let me extract a full minute after the time ran out.
languid flare
^
Timer is wrong by ROUGHLY 10 seconds* to a minute*
Though that also depends on your connection, server quality and if you reconnected or not.
generally: Dont bet on it.
vernal iris
Damn first time I ever got to an extraction point and needed rubles, then found a bunch of loot near it and some roubles then bam! Fun tho
Didn’t realize extraction had loot/payment requirements
bold kernel
The car extracts need rubles, others dont
vernal iris
Ah yes it was the car thanks. If you can’t tell just started playing and read the beginner pdf guide so lot to learn
fiery latch
Im on lvndmarks stream watching him doing the punisher torunament and hes saying action sx is the best ammo for the mp7
I thought it was the ap sx
Just need help clarifying which one is better ?

jovial starBOT
fiery latch
I already saw
teal wave
Okay so, for the Gunsmith Part 2 quest - I need to make the AK-74U but whenever I attach any part to it, it seems to loose the "Acquired in raid for quest" tag
fiery latch
So then ap sx is better
teal wave
Does that mean I need to find ALL pieces in a raid?
ember pendant
AP SX is a better pen round if you are going to chest / head
action sx will be the leg beta ammo
bold kernel
@teal wave u don't need FIR status for gunsmith guns
ember pendant
No, none of the parts need to be found in raid for gunsmith p2
or any of the gunsmith quest
teal wave
And yet it looses the tag
ember pendant
doesn't have to have the FIR tag.
teal wave
So I assume the items can't be brought from the flea market huh
ember pendant
but yea, it'd lose the tag if all the items aren't FIR on it
No, you can buy all the parts from the flea assuming they are there.
bold kernel
@teal wave what part of u don't need FIR status for gunsmith do u not understand
teal wave
Weird, then why can't I turn it in
fiery latch
Probably wrong attachments
You follow a guide ?
Maybe you need a certain mag
Maybe theres a bullet inside and its heavier than requested
bold kernel
Lmao that's a thing?
bold kernel
No sorry sir I can't take that gun it has heavy bullets
fiery latch
Yeah
ember pendant
6 or fewer cells (Note: You must fold the stock before turning in the gun)
fiery latch
Took me a bit to figure it out

Damn ps ammo is shit
But it’s the only ammo I can buy
Hit an unarmoured guy 2 times in the chest just to get shot 4 times with a pistol and die

Almennt so ur going for what then. Duos. 5 man with the bois.😂
fiery latch
Just making sure the mp-153 is a 12 guage right
fiery latch
Right then
mellow ingot
Idc honestly just cant take the paranoia of being solo lol
@lusty eagle you get better over time but it's still hella scary hearing 2 or 3 people running
But it’s the only ammo I can buy
@ebon sage BP isn't much cheaper through traders its 745 from prapor I think and 820ish on flea, it's in my opinion the only good ammo that drops quickly for a cheap lrice
Im on lvndmarks stream watching him doing the punisher torunament and hes saying action sx is the best ammo for the mp7
@fiery latch action sx is a hollow point dealing really good flesh damage ap sx is a armor piercing bullet dealing alot of damage to people wearing armor, you most likely misheard

contact me if you can do it

I never know
Whats that little sound thing
That I can adjust with my scroll wheel
dry anvil
movement speed
in otherwords fast=loud slow=quiet
tap caps lock to immediately jump from top speed to a crawl
mellow ingot
You can also adjust your standing height with c + scroll wheel I think
Can't remember the bibd
drifting jolt
@fiery latch scrolling your scrolling wheel will change your movement speed, and holding ctrl, or maybe crouch, and scrolling will change your crouch height
only time changing your height helps is when you're bush camping and a leaf or 2 is in your eyes

the material is good

so if its fucked id switch it out
mellow ingot
Yea the issue is its so heavy its not really worth wearing
lapis mauve
its all price vs what you get. the cheaper lvl 5 armors are worse than the more expensive ones. up to you to decide if its worth almost double the price for what you get
urban narwhal
is there a way to pay to heal after you next the screen that gives you the option?
urban narwhal
just did thx
drifting jolt
@urban narwhal just use the meds as if you were in raid, they work in your stash too just the same
but most people just pay every time
unless you have a bunch of excess meds
lapis mauve
how much is the after raid thing?
i'm pretty sure since they added it the price of grizzlies tanked and its cheaper to use those

Arms are broken
I gave some guy a shower of spp the other day to the arm and he walked away

man when i kill a guy with such gun i genuinly dont know what to do with this
@drifting jolt i vendored the val and vss yesterday, idk do i vendor this too xD
wanton grove
playing solo with 25% surv rate
idk man
just feels like throwing the gun to the trash
mellow ingot
Yea save it till you get better but they are not worth the vendor
wanton grove
i wont really have inventory space then
mellow ingot
If you unload the mag and take pistol grip off it makes it a 1x7 or how ever long the gun is
wanton grove
damn. Why didnt i think about it.. ;D
mellow ingot
It's really up to you what to do with it but just a suggestion
But that's a. Good way to store alot of guns
lapis mauve
take off the suppressor (with adaptor), mag, and sights so you can use that stuff and sell the rest of the gun. you can't hang on to stuff you won't use soon with small stash sizes. keep mods that are useful and use them on guns you can afford
real osprey
Yo can someone help
sage plover
I can try. With my limited knowledge.
drifting jolt
@wanton grove it's not super top tier but it's nice
id play with that one
remember you can always do an offline raid to play with it, bc you wont lose any bullets or anytyhing
take in a fuck ton of ammo and go to factory or interchange, and turn scav count the highest, and set it to tagged and cursed
then run through the bots for fun
turn them to easy for a rambo affect lol
wanton grove
if i jump
lapis mauve
if you have a pc that can handle it do horde mode with scav war ( i can only run it on factory i think)
wanton grove
from the highest floor
in dorms
do i die
?
got rashala and like 3 pmcs and i think someones camping for me to go out xD
drifting jolt
dont do that...
if youre on 3rd floor
go out the door and to the left corner and look down, drop down on the fence
sage plover
That sounds like some shit TBH.
drifting jolt
That's how everyone does it when they need to get out
you drop 1 less floor cause you drop onto the top of the fence
there still a chance you can fracture a leg depending on how much you weigh, but it's less than falling another 8 or 10 feet
wanton grove
got out from the dorms extract
but i paniced
didnt know what do drop
where to drop the insured items
i went with etc
but that's my first boss kill regardless ;D
is the golden gun from rashala worth keeping?
drifting jolt
it's a quest item to get it down the line
lapis mauve
if you aren't overweight you shouldn't die jumping from 3rd floor but you will black your legs and take a lot of damage. better to jump on the fence or stairs
wanton grove
Yeah i just tried to exit normally
and there was noone
probably floor below me someone
or jus tscavs
sage plover
Hunter vs the Mosin, which is a better rifle?
wanton grove
oh the 1g phone is worth 20k... hoped its worth more
sage plover
I just picked it up with BPZ FMJs loaded from a PMC, they any good?
lapis mauve
hunter is way better. the ammo is similar but hunter is semi auto. bpz fmj is pretty bad, its similar to 762 ps though
so not really that bad, but just get pk to lvl 2 and use m80
sage prairie
whats more common blue or violet key card?
gentle stratus
repair broken ones.
lapis mauve
^ you can save ones with cracks and trade them for a new one
opaque garnet
Any tips for how to play in a group (duos and up)? I've grouped up a handful of times and all I could do was watch my teammates and try to keep up. I couldn't do anything like keep a lookout for scavs/pmcs, look for/grab loot, etc. And when they spot an enemy and call it out I never seem to be able to spot them myself. And I would still die lots (to be fair my teammates died too but not as much as me.)
fiery latch
i feel like they should have some fuel producer in your hideout or something
opaque garnet
There is a crafting recipe for fuel. In the lavatory I believe.
wanton grove
@opaque garnet i feel like you cannot avoid learning the game solo
if you just trail behind your better teammates then there's no way you are going to actually learn some stuff
opaque garnet
No I totally believe that myself. I don't really want to group up but everyone else does and I have enough trouble against other solos let alone duos+
sage plover
When you go solo, do you only get people also going solo? And vice versa?
wanton grove
@opaque garnet just identify your mistakes and correct
if you miss - practice aim or play other guns
opaque garnet
Nah its always a mix shotty
cyan walrus
@opaque garnet are you flanking and looking for different angles in fights?
Or just all of the same team shooting from the same angle
opaque garnet
I'm trying not to fight at all. Sneaking and hiding. I get killed usually pretty quickly, never seem to have time to disengage, heal, shoot back, et
etc*
wanton grove
do you play multiple maps?
focus on one first
learn where you can move fast where you should be cautious
just by trial and error
opaque garnet
Yea I've got some maps I play way more than others. lol I only scav inter, can't stop myself
wanton grove
and for me the most important thing as PMC is having a plan for each spawn
if you know potential nearby PMC spawns or you know your spawn is the closest to some important position (like dorms on customs)
then you can just rush the enemy or the location
and get out without combat
opaque garnet
I can do that with customs but it doesn't matter when some chad group all with level 6 helm and armor come near me. And for the tasks I'm working on that's literally impossible
wanton grove
i mean you just cant win some fights
but still i feel like playing solo gives you a better feel for danger on the map
the probabilities of fights, what flanks to watch out for
some map specific tricks
strong barn
solo is more about position and repositioning then a hard push on a team; that is usually how I die 🤣
you can sometimes convince the team you are more than one person if you move around to different positions effectively
even then you just cant win
wanton grove
like there is this wall next to crack house and ruaf roadblock. Recently when i went from ruaf roadblock side to the crack house a solo guy just peeked over the wall and insta killed me. I used that same trick today and got 2 geared guys with modded m4s
so its just about these positioning tricks and how you engage the enemy
tropic depot
Ay I'm a little confused about mounts on guns and putting sights on them, Is there like mounts that only work for certain guns? Basically what I'm asking is how I can put a sight on any of my guns, just ping me if you have the answer.
wanton grove
do you have flea marked unlocked @tropic depot?
tropic depot
Yes
wanton grove
for example if you mod AK
you need to change the gas cover
you can do linked search on the weapon and find a gas cover with a mount
just look up TweaK youtube channel and there are some good builds for budget weps
tropic depot
Aight thanks

so just find a favourite one
and keep using it until you can get something better i guess

@tropic depot in hideout you can unlock the workbench which allows you to see what mounts can be put on and sights, keep in mind it only shows examined items
It also allows you to save presets so you can just straight up buy the gun
mellow ingot
Yea
You can get it quite early it's really helpful if you don't know what you are foing
fiery latch
I find the edit preset sorta useful but annoying at the same time because some of the parts cant be bought unless you have the right trader level
But its pretty useful other than that, good to see different modss

sharp bane
Why keep a stash instead of selling everything
dire rock
personal preference
better to have a gun then to buy it
but you could just sell everything you get and buy everything you need
only issue would be if you run out of money then you have nothing to use
fiery latch
If I find a cool modded gun off a body, I keep it, preset it and remake it if I like it. I will run it a couple of times the get rid if it
Selling things are like 50% of what you buy them for so if you dont really need money
Its best to just use them
sharp bane
Ok and ammo and nade extras add up over time?
fiery latch
Yep
I just keep em
They sell for like 1/3 of the price you can buy them
Just use them, you never know when you will actually need them so its best to bring 2 at all times if you are broke
I usually bring 6-8
Because I like to nade spam randomly

dire rock
nades have their use but honestly people use them way to much, as someone who has had 100k in nades thrown at them. just learn how to shoot
fiery latch
I use them to flush out corner campers, switch position as sorta cover fire or when I am not sure if a player is in a certain place like a bush or around the corner
Better to waste 10-15k than die and lose 500k worth of gear
opaque garnet
A grenade is a great way to tell people to leave you alone. Like a rattlesnakes tail rattle.
dire rock
@fiery latch thats fine, im talking about players who will see people then just spam G like their life depends on it
also grenades tend to attract people because people think you have some decent gear on you if your throwing nades

i did like 1k raids solo before i got the hang of the game
opaque garnet
200+ raids and I'm feeling more confident. Not good or anything but I do ok...when i survive to extract. Flea Market once you hit 10 changes the game a bit. And getting higher loyalty with the dealers opens up quite a few things in the way of guns/mods/ammo/etc. Just be prepared to die...a lot. (I'm at a 31% survival rate, that means 7/10 raids I die)

Is setting the scav difficulty to "as online" a decent way to practice fire fights or should I be setting them to impossible?
simple perch
Anyone have any suggestions for affordable but decent saiga 9 ammo?
sand granite
@simple perch what level traders do you have?
sand granite
9x19 pst is the best you can buy of traders at that point
Ap6.3 is Peacekeeper lvl 3 iirc so if you want better than pst you'll be looking at flea
languid flare
Also Saiga 9 is a really bad gun
Its basically just a large pistol, with none of its upsides
simple perch
I've found it to be a good semi thats affordable, any suggestions to replace it?
I'm at about 1 mil so I need to go hard econ for a small while

Vepr KM/SKS
simple perch
I like the SKS, I just wish it was way more modifiable
languid flare
OP-SKS is, normal SKS isnt
Its mostly for the ammo
No use in using a Saiga 9, if all you can get is shit 9x19
sand granite
When you level up the traders I think mechanic offers the different stock that fits more attachments
simple perch
Fair enough, sks is it is
languid flare
As long as you dont have good ammo (and armor) you should choose your guns by avaiable ammo (this case: 7.62x39) and not by gun

how do i consistently make money at a low level? i find myself always on 200 k roubles and its not the greatest thing
spice trellis
I guess the most consistent you can get is look up some reserve or interchange route on youtube and shove as much value up your ass as you can before you die
spring pelican
Save money, sell everything, be a trash collector
spice trellis
You can also try AFKing in a bush for 20-30 minutes and then start playing. You'll only have one or two player scavs to share the map with best case
It worked great a few patches ago but now I dont know

Whenever I go broke, I run interchange for about 30 minutes and make 2-3m off of just random shit nobody picks up

I stopped at 4, no need for more, but could get more is what I'm saying

Are you basically have million of wires and screwdrivers, so you making

spring pelican
I got 4 scav junkboxes
I'll do interchange runs until they all full, and sell it all
spring pelican
I hunt rats, its fun

Profesionals has standarts:
- change your gear to enemies one at 1st opportunity
- wait in most bs spots
- have a way out from every situation @spring pelican
spice trellis
I hate how literally all advice on how to make money is "just know the map the spawns the game the timing and which route to take" like if I knew all that I wouldn't be asking for advice would I
spring pelican
Meh,
Okay
Go offline mode
Make your own route
Not every money run is gonna go your way
spice trellis
Amen
spice trellis
Try 80% of them
spice trellis
U just gotta head eyes baby
spring pelican
Normally I'm on to help those who need money runs, but it just doesnt work with 2 people lmao
barren berry
@spice trellis how to gain money without losing gear
- change your gear to enemies one ASAP (and hide your own)
- if u get engaged by anyone - fall back and try to fight back (or just run away (99% saving ass from problems))
- dont be a hero, last thing you want to do is to rush without anylis of location (sounds and other things)
- be a active rat
Rat gang
spice trellis
Im literally doing shoreline cache runs and dying following the northern edge of the map
Keep butting heads with a player scav or a PMC
Lose every fight, the noob manifesto
spring pelican
Shoreline is kinda infested with cheaters atm
barren berry
evacuate your ass from every fight if possible
spring pelican
Everytime I get into game, I'm 1 tapped instantly in 3 seconds
spice trellis
Meeting someone while on the edge of the map is painful, its usually very hard to gtfo
But at rock passage its easy, thats about it
spring pelican
So I dont run shoreline
barren berry
But at rock passage its easy, thats about it
@spice trellis exclude this part of map from your route
I mean
Esge of map
Edge
barren berry
spice trellis
I would have to cross on the dam then
barren berry
I mean safer than
spice trellis
Theres a crossing if you run past spa, so its either passing spa or passing rock passage
barren berry
Thats why im running interchange
Perfect rat palace
many ways out
perfect sound location
spring pelican
Interchange is a rat's paradise
If you need money, and you're a rat
Interchange is for you
barren berry
Interchange is a rat's paradise

Hmm

Man I'm watching Anton in the tournament on factory NA servers right now
This chad he fights just empties his entire mag missing at point blank
and his teammate sprays right into him and kills his own teammate
If these were the kind of people I ran into then I might win a fight
livid spoke
lmfao
barren berry
@spice trellis have kedr and shoot in leg
This will cause massive head blur
And they will be unable to shoot properly
spice trellis
hmmm
barren berry
Also
If it is a really good helmet
Altyn/vulcan
Shoot some bullets into the helmet itself, it will cause nausea, blur and deafing
spice trellis
I'll make sure to only shoot the head when they have good helmets though, not otherwise LOL :p
barren berry
I'll make sure to only shoot the head when they have good helmets though, not otherwise LOL :p
@spice trellis after this you can kill em normally since they will be unable to even see you, unless they a advanced player
advance players will orientate on color since it will be only thing that you can actually recognize in this chaos
spice trellis
what is killing someone normally? I want head clicking to be my normal
barren berry
Just watch some clips from altyn/vulcan perspective, when they getting 'bonked'
what is killing someone normally? I want head clicking to be my normal
@spice trellis get normal ammo, and click head, thorax

I always aim for shields put some bullet holes in it so they can't see

But you do have to remember we are all human

Yeah i know, but that man was playing like a idiot
Even with the stress, i would of never seen someone do that who was semi competent in pvp
He did do some pushes, but he went to wide which allowed me to get him instantly

Ak if you don't want to spend too much money

i mean i have this fully moded m4a1 lying around

Mod it out so the recoil is controllable. If it is 545 it will be WAY cheaper.

yeah but ragman trooper vests?

not worth the ~80k that it goes for on flea.

is secure container beta worth it?
blazing heron
any tips on how to survive a raid if there are fully kited players level 50 that have human aimbot and ypu have low gear
desert hull
you adjust your playstyle
everyone started this game with that problem and we all overcame it
you have to play differently when low level than when high level
namely, make less noise, go to less crowded areas, and take more time to do things
also spend money on better ammo over better mods or armor
woven cipher
blazing heron
rn im using the best ammo for sks
wanton grove
head, face, eyes most importantly

i know head eyes very well

I wouldnt use 7.62x54r much anymore unless in a SVD @woven cipher

i am a fresh player too, and i found success by going ak74n/m - mod it to be below 70 vertical recoil and just do your thing

But I don’t think you need to kill Scavs for epsilon
You don’t need to do shootout picnic
I don’t think
But I mean you can for the exp or whatever

aaaah my bad
its 15 scavs at shoreline
but still thsi quest is from lvl 17
im lvl 15
good to know
desert hull
@upbeat peak you def gotta kill scavs for epsilon
you just dont need to do shootout picnic
upbeat peak
Ok well that’s what I meant
My bad
Kill Scavs I meant on woods
Since we were on topic of woods
desert hull
you literally gotta kill scavs on woods
for epsilon
"Kill 10 scavs with 12g shotguns on woods"
lofty niche
im lvl 20, but im really shit at this game's combat, looking for assistance
DM me if you can play
fiery latch
im lvl 20, but im really shit at this game's combat, looking for assistance
@lofty niche Try to get low recoil, high ergo, make sure you use right ammo to the certain types of armour. Pay attention to sound cues and stay ready during high pvp zones
Make sure you check every corner and bring 3-4 nades if running solo, can be helpful
lofty niche
@fiery latch point being im looking for a person to go with me
i have extremely high gear fear
im deathly afraid of solo with gear
fiery latch
Look, I probably wouldnt be able to help but gear fear is something that everyone gets once first starting out, its like going on a roller coster for the first time
lofty niche
so far every time i've gone in geared as a PMC, i died
desert hull
you didnt list server btw
fiery latch
Once you go over and over again
You get used to it
And eventually you learn to just say fuck it
Good way of getting rid of loot fear is scav in
lofty niche
i do nothing but scav on solo
desert hull
I'd play with you but you didn't @ me right above your og message 🤔
fiery latch
Scaving solo helps you be dependant, think smarter and lose loot fear
Learn maps, certain paths, pvp flank points, choke points and spots you can sit in
Also when peeking people, unless you have to, never re peek the same angle
Just some points to keep in mind, sorry I wouldnt be able to help you in game
primal stone
should i care about hideout stuff as a beginner? the medstation looks like it'd be useful
fiery latch
If you have to money to yes
If you are relatively new, you dont trust your in game skills, dont go below 500k for hideout
At early stages it wont do much and its a good way to waste money
primal stone
ah, gotcha
fiery latch
Its a situation you do not want to put yourself in
As everything in this game is pretty expensive
primal stone
thing with me is that i can deal with scavs if i have to (they're AI after-all), i just get anxious that a pmc is always around the corner
primal stone
i'd prefer to avoid combat 100%, but apparently that's looked down upon
pvp combat anyway
fiery latch
yep
desert hull
@primal stone its just a different playstyle
but keep in mind you cant always avoid pvp, and avoiding it out of principle will mean you will always be fairly bad at it
primal stone
i've heard people whine about "rat-runners", so yeah
sage pasture
dw @primal stone im a scardey cat too
desert hull
so when it does happen, you're gonna die
fiery latch
Apparently nikita says he wants the game to be more of a loot and scoot less pvp game
So
There are rats
Anyone can be poor
worn silo
i've heard people whine about "rat-runners", so yeah
@primal stone rat is just a term for people who dont like to rush in and act like rambo
desert hull
anyone who actually, non-ironically complains about rats are just salty, bad players who think they're somehow better than others but will still complain when they die to somebody else and try to demean them to be worse
fiery latch
I dont even bring a knife
primal stone
i just try to stay away from getting myself in a bad situation whenever possible. no reason to potentially lose money over something that you get nothing out of in the end
desert hull
most people just talk about rats as a funny hahaha thing
worn silo
ye the only thing thats looked down upon is extract camping and even that is a valid playstyle
fiery latch
i just try to stay away from getting myself in a bad situation whenever possible. no reason to potentially lose money over something that you get nothing out of in the end
@primal stone See if you dont have the gear to take on a fight its nto worth it because people can go overkill on the gear they bring in
Better to just recognize what you can and cant win
And sometimes run away
Better to be safe than sorry
pallid timber
so im new and just starting to poke around with scav runs on customs, got out of a few raids but every PMC raid i get killed almost instantly. i just go in with a pistol, but would my survival chances and loot increase if i brought an ak in?
like into woods or customs or something?
primal stone
it's all about positioning i guess
desert hull
you're dying because you're only using a pistol
fiery latch

@pallid timber Woods is not an ideal place, I would recommend learning 1 map before taking in gear
primal stone
just pick off targets that are singled out if you're using a pistol
worn silo
i would actually stick with a pistol and kill scavs till lvl 10
desert hull
learn how to play around the SKS's faults
its both a powerful gun and one you need to play conservative with
pallid timber
ok well i just want to get what i can to get a mosin and an sks
primal stone
only problem i have with the sks, is it's sights are bleh
worn silo
dont get mosins overpriced garbage
desert hull
SKS sights are a'ight
primal stone
oh
fiery latch
Sks is a decent gun to run
pallid timber
hmm im still tryna figure out my playstyle, but like which map is best for profitable pistol runs
fiery latch
I one tapped some guy not wearing a helmet with just an sks, no armour, no rig, nothing. sks no extra bullets, one tapped someone for a juice kit
worn silo
hmm im still tryna figure out my playstyle, but like which map is best for profitable pistol runs
@pallid timber dont think profitable if youre under lvl 10
fiery latch
If you do
worn silo
think what map will give me the most exp with the least amount of resistance
worn silo
thats not a rat mindset?
worn silo
if youre under lvl 10 u shouldnt be looking for profit
u should be looking to get to lvl 10
primal stone
i remember doing customs a good bit back when i played a year or so ago
that was what, june 2019?
this game has changed a ton
pallid timber
@worn silo ok ,i get what yr saying
worn silo
when u get lvl 10 thats where the profit comes in
pallid timber
just learn the maps, get xp, and take what i can without getting killed
ah yes the flea market
worn silo
if u get something cool before hand like sugar or a keycard maybe a bitcoin or something keep it for flea
but if u get guns u sell them and invest in more loadouts
pallid timber
ohh ok i found sugar on a customs scav run
worn silo
ye sugars worth like 70k~
pallid timber
wtf
worn silo
because of moonshine
also i recommend getting jaeger or doing supplier quest as soon as possible
primal stone
depends on what kind of 'sugar' we're talking about
pallid timber
HIGH QUALITY BOLIVIAN SUGAR

they give u 2 nice budget run options

To be honest
I make money
By scav factory
Get better at pvp, kill other scavs
Try to loot as many guns as I can
Then leave and sell it all to traders
wanton grove
can you place scope on default sks?
pallid timber
when ive gone into factory i opened a spawn door and instantly died. thinking i need a sherpa
fiery latch
Make like 100k-200k depending on how many guns I get
wanton grove
with fd uas stock
pallid timber
with a pistol? whats yr kit look like?
fiery latch
Its what I do when i want a challenge, bored and not looking to lose expensive loot
raven gazelle
there is much betrter ways to make money than factory
fiery latch
There is
pallid timber
with a pistol kit?

But I do it because of pvp
primal stone
well, here's my first run after reinstalling tarkov. wish me luck
worn silo
why did u reinstall? also gl
primal stone
i saw some videos of it pop up in my reccomended feed on youtube, and i got interested i guess
primal stone
plus my internet has somewhat improved since june 2019, not a lot, but some
yeah, did some offline runs to learn it a bit
don't really know the new bits too well, but i can get around old customs
worn silo
theres some cool new parkour spots

well, my game just crashed upon entering my first raid
great start so far

@bold kernel look for fuel on customs in the repair shop fortress and power building also for intel in crackhouse or dorms marked key
worn silo
no problemo
if u want the big money do learn reserve or shoreline
or if youre into it do interchange
bold kernel
which one is safer? and can I do it with just a pistol/sks?

reserve is the safer choice if u know where to go

thanks alot

no problem id def invest in a dorms marked key

there's always PVP in there tho

Quick question i have 220k roubles im new to tarkov is it worth getting the level 1 upgrades for the hideout or is that something i should do later on?
stuck junco
@fast lintel Start working on your HO right away, if you need parts for it use your scav and run the rear of Interchange
fast lintel
Anything i should prioritize? in the hideout or should i unlock everything rn
i have 200k to spend but im low in loot rn
im new to the game aswell so im still learning maps etc
stuck junco
Just go all out, you will eventually hit a progression route as certain parts require certain skills, traders and other parts of the HO
fast lintel
is there a specific area the stuff i need spawns? in interchange like does all the stuff i need spawn on shelfs
also should i unlock everything in the hideout now or only certain things
stuck junco
Go nuts on the hideout, for interchange it'll be the rear, aka the loading areas. They spawn in the tool boxes and on the shelves
fast lintel
ok ty
ive spent most of my time on customs cause apparently thats where most of the early tasks are done
What other maps are worth learning right away
Customs, interchange....
stuck junco
reserve, it's great if you want weapon parts and mods to loot
stuck junco
Correct, oli is also good as fuel and hoses and things spawn on the shelves inside

@sinful stirrup also good luck getting a sherpa to help, youre best off just asking in this group!
raw zenith
I've asked several times in the 6 months I've been playing, never heard anything and every now and then you see people saying the same thing on here. Maybe I'm over reacting slightly but I've had more help from here so i wanted to let finger know that this is a really good group to get help from, and from my experience its more useful than the sherpas
stuck junco
Just remember, the Sherpas are real people with real lives, they can only assist you when they can. If you get lucky, it's all good, but otherwise that's what we are here for
They are BSG elected induviduals that know the game well enough to teahc others
raw zenith
yeah i did point out it was from my experience
spice otter
Yeah, I consider sherpas to be anyone that dedicates themselves to helping people out.
drifting jolt
Im not a sherpa, i just hang out in this chat and answer questions
occasionally go into raid with noobs
It's not always the best to learn a map from another player though until after youve played it a handful of times
leaden glade
Is there a point in lean peeking as it seems everyone i run against is playing the game like its CSGO just peeking without using lean.
spice otter
Mmm. Kind of yeah. The one problem with peeking is that it pretty much makes your head the only target.
It’s a small trade off, but it’s more so a knowledge of when to push and when to just hold a lean angle
