OPACHKI
anyone wanna duo with me? im not super new but im new enough to where i only know 2 maps.
are you on na
Can marked room in dorms drop weapon cases after the nerf?
No, the Weapon Case does not spawn anywhere in raid at this moment.
there is a bunch of other cases you can get
In marked room?
I have a bunch of the other cases, but I was wondering if you can get anything good from marked room in dorms
yup in marked room
Villager, the only cases that will spawn in marked room are the ones that will spawn anywhere else.
not 100 cause its random like my friend got a ammo case
Holondicks spawn there which is nice, but you won’t see ICases
you can get money case ammo case lunchbox and docs case and sicc case and keytool
i forgot what else
its random but yeah if u get there fast enough why not
Because my last two I got an es lamp, mp5, dmr, then bt and ppsh and p90
Which are ok
Marked can spawn:
Holodilnik, Ammo, Mag, Meds, Grenade, Doc, Keytool, Wallet
rip to the wcase and siccs
I said meds, yes
Not meds i mean the case
Yes, so do I
I just wrote all the cases
anyone know why they took sicc and wcase out of the pool
@cunning kite Cause too expensive

Was just snatched by cheaters and used for RMT
marked rooms just dont feel exciting anymore : /
now the best u can get is keytool which is only like 500

'Only'
Half a mill is good
yeah, and u just put it in ur secure so theres no excitemnt
Anything more breaks economy
the economy is already broken as hell
Imo
And what did you do with Sicc? Not put it into the container? XD
true, but wcase u had to get out with, plus the other cases dropped a lot in price
But it makes cheaters not rush marked anymore
So
Less cheaters there and more in labs

You actually can get stuff again xD
But generally, there are less cheater at least.
Well, you dont see em, cause they wont engage you.
They look what in the room with their cheats, and if something good is in, they snatch it up and leave
^
If u played earlier in wipe
There was shit ton of cheaters
Rushing marked
Dorms and all over reserve
didnt play for like the first month this wipe so maybe
this wipe is just so much worse than last one and im hoping its a one time thing
The more popular a game gets, the more cheater it will have. Thats normal, sadly.
Issue here is: They still gotta fix the game against intrusions.
wasnt talking about cheaters specifically but yea
pvp is really unrewarding
Cuz for
yeah game play is good it self just cheaters are ignorant
So the other issue is rmt
fir changes make it pointless rn
you cant profit off killing for gear unless its raiders really now
Yesterday I got one tapped three times within 15 seconds of spawn
if i didnt wanna pvp i wouldnt play a shooter lmao
I have no issue with PvP not being 'as rewarding'.
I'll just use their stuff and loot the place in peace
lol pvp is what i want lol
the fact that it isnt rewarding to fight anymore
other than getting a spare kit thats probably ass anyways xD
The only good rounds I have are ones where I don't see anyone
I mean... its rewarding to win the fight?
THats all I need.
I have my BTC farm, so money is meh anyway
money isnt an issue for me but pvp really isnt that profitable
If money isnt an issue, why do you care if its profitable or not?
lol relying on bit coin isnt helpful i have max bit farm pvp is the issue not money its not rewarding to kill someone now because the loot cannot be sold to flea market xD
because if i wasnt making 4-5 mil a day spamming scavs during class moneym ight be an issue
because its super rewarding xD
last wipe killing someone was actually decently profitable
Well, your opinion.
Cant make everyone happy
now u just grab some attachments and if they have armored rig put it in backpack
it isn my opinion xD thanks for stating the obvious chief
i dont see why they cant make gear people bring in FIR, if i find it in a raid it should be fir
exactly^
Because it isnt from that raid.
Its from outside of it
i found it in the raid
they brought it in just like the loot thats generated in the server..
scavs spawn with fir gear
Also, FiR would lose all meaning.
Just bring it back into the raid and its FiR again?
Makes the whole change useless
when the raid starts its should be found in raid
just make it not apply to barter items
Why not though? By your logic its from the raid though, right?
u dont want it to be exploitable lmao
No, Iam happy with the current state as it is.
games already being exploited the games hit a curve its dogshit rn xD
or make it only become fir when the person dies, so they cant give something fir themselves
they dont care about the community xD
Iam having fun plenty
Only when they die? go in naked, be killed, oh look. FiR
if u die u dont have it anymore lmfao
Yeah, but the other guy, repeat it again and you have it now.
im not even sure what ur tryna say
Iam saying that if there is a way to regain FiR in ANY way, people will exploit the hell out of it, day 1
but who cares if a few people find a way to make a quest easier or something if it makes pvp worthwhile again
Because it wont be just a few people.
if done right the only way to do it would be queing at same time as ur friend and hoping
Thats easily done. Lol
Did it with some people on Factory for someones Quest
Chose a server thats played on less, night time, with as many people as possible.
Worked every single time.
so because it could be used to cheese the easiest quests in the game it just shouldnt be done?
It can be used to make any and all FiR meaningless.
In the end, they most likely wont change it back anyway.
they shouldnt change it back, just how it applies to gear gotten from pvp
or drastically increase dogtag prices to traders if u kill them
theres a lot of ways to make pvp worthwhile, even if it wont be as profitable as last wipe
Its worthwile for me cause I didnt die xD
if ur goal is to make money though just avoiding pmcs is a much better way, last wipe i got most of money from killing people and selling thier gear
I just do my tasks.
I dont search or avoid PvP specifically.
my point is for people who play the multiplayer fps game to shoot people, it whould at least be somewhat viable
you do you man
I mean, you play it to make money from PvP, not for the PvP itself it seems.
If I kill someone, Iam happy I survived.
You just wanna make money off of it xD
but if i'm doing my cache runs and you decide to head my direction, you're a dead man
u need money to buy gear for pvp though, now killing people is just fun and to make it easy to open the same rooms, got to the same spots, and then leaving
Best part is, if they didnt have to change it from last to this wipe, you wouldnt even complain, cause you wouldnt know better.
And I never really had money issues this wipe.
Once or twice, then I just ran more budget than usual. All good.
I dont need 2 million kits, even now that I got money, thats actually boring to me
money never has been an issue, but its just dumb how ill make as much money killing people resort all night as i do just doing scav runs in the background of class
You always did make heaps of money as Scav
Even last wipe.
So, thats a moot point imo.
Especially since there is less risk to lose stuff
my point is that both used to be profitable, know only one is actually gonna bring in good money consistently
Well, kinda gotta blame cheaters for that too.
or i could blame the trader prices for items being dirt and bsg not doing anything to increase the value of pvping people, the fir changes were meant to counter hatchlings far more than they were meant to counter cheaters
Not... really. At least not only.
And making the trader prices up, would not solve the issue.
It would make everything just way more expensive to buy from flea too.
i meant how much traders buy items for, especially ammo
Still, flea would change too because of that. Going up in price as well.
it literally wouldnt but whatever dude
People put stuff on flea to make money, if they get a similar price at traders, they will make it more expensive on flea, or else they wont sell it on flea in the first place.
it dosent even have to be similar though, just not dirt
shrugs
I mean, personally, I do agree with ammo prices, but thats either way not the biggest part of the loot.
poor lad doesn;t understand finance very well, does he derpy

explain to me how raising the price mechanic buys 995 for from 200 to like 800 would have a large effect on its price on the flea
people would go, hold up, why am i selling it on flea for 1000 when i clould be selling it for 1400
???????????
hence, fucking everyone over more than they already are
if mechanic buys a round for 800 that sells on the flea for 1.6k people wont sell it thier
but you realise that 995 is an incredibly rare round to find in raid, so most of the time you get it, youre getting it from killing other people and it isnt fir anyway
(You can craft it)
^
its an expensive craft, if ur not finidng parts of the craft elsewhere its barely even profitable
Yes, 200k
I typoed, okay?
get them for free if you stop being a chad for 3 seconds 
so if someone spends 200k to make it, and they can sell it on the flea for 40k profit or sell to mechanic for -80k u think theyre gonna sell it to traders?
No, but if you raise trader prices, so will flea ones, cause they dont wanna sell it to traders STILL
if they still dont wanna sell it to traders it wouldnt impact the flea price
it would only increase the value of non fir ammo, so mostly ammo gained from pvp
players carry ammo a lot of the time
I barely ever take ammo, cause most just have the same budget ammo xD
if u increase price traders pay for ammo, while still keeping it decently below the fkea price, the value of ammo from kills would go up signifgantly without affecting flea price
if ur only finding budget ammo ur goin to the wrong spots lol
Well, I dont seek out PvP
I just find what comes to me wherever I go.
shrugs
Never seen M995 in the field yet, I think
it just seems wierd to me that u would then argue about how trader ammo buy prices are fine
ammo boxes give me an entire stack, i then sell that on flea and make mad bank
actually using the ammo, what heresy is that???

theres like 3 good ammos u can get from boxes
arugably theres none
alright man enjoy ur hella cash from selling 545 bt i guess
yeah dude that 60 bs ammo u got from scouring the whole map
alright man, ill take my ledx and gpus and think about how much money im losing 🤷♂️
ledx
gpu
"reee why 995 so expensive"
man ur the one saying its price on the flea going up would be bad, im saying its to cheap lmao
guys can some1 drop me money i spent my 300k on 'cheese as my friend said' by accident
well done lad
I have lots of cheese no guns
Just don't use 995 lol 855a1 is cheap af
dont worry man i dont, but its still crazy how a 1.6k round sells to traders for 200 isntead of like 800 or something
flea is just cancer for prices
It's artificially inflated on flea
^
this might be a dumb question, but are there any good “beginner” maps?
u realise the traders sell it for 1.7k right?
Traders still don't pay enough for ammo though
Customs and interchange
Stat away from factory unless you enjoy dying
@limber glen customs is important cause a lot of early quests are there
i’m not like brand brand new
but the map is actually pretty shit if ur new
i’m almost lvl 20, but this is my first wipe
learn reserve, ull make hella money, and its a pretty fun map
There isn't really any easy maps if you don't know them.
^^^
@cunning kite PK sells it for 1264R (12$)
i always just get lost in interchange
every other map i can gauge pretty well where i am
he sells it for 14$ @languid flare
and buying anything from a trader is obviously inflated from it's actual price
That makes it still only 1508
so is the flea the one with cancer inflated prices or traders ive lost track of shotguns point
traders, and then flea some extra
also 14 dollars is 1727 but ok
Why does the dollar price only increase when Iam not checking it, lol
cause earlier shotguns said the flea prices are cancer an now hes saying the traders are inflated
also i literally just loaded the game and checked, 14$ is 1727
I mean... yeah? Both are true
smfh
Like i said, dollars increase when I dont check. Was 122 the whole time
so how tf do u accuratly gauge somethings price if both are inflated
imagine owning a store, getting the product for 1000 and selling it for 1000
how to business, 101, brought to you by 1312
w h a t
i literally dont even know how to respond that message broke my brain congrats
Move on from a stupid conversation, either way 995 just isn't worth it.
^
my original point is that now that items from killing people cant be sold on the flea, trader prices should increase somewhat to compensate as long as it dosent get to close to market price, 995 was just an example of how low traders buy the ammo for
or just make it so u can flea those items, or make dogtags worth a lot more, just something to make pvp somewhat rewarding
but honestly its my bad for getting baited into arguing with someone who cache runs this far into the wipe lmao
yeah sorry we play this game how we want to
apology accepted 👍
<.<
Havent done a single loot/money/cache run this wipe 😛
Again, no one cares. How everyone plays is up to them.
So I was doing stirrup for skier with apb with pbm ammo and on my first raid I get 2/3 kills and the next 6 I play too aggressive because I get impatient with the quest and die (got about 3 easy chances for kills after) any advice?
Run a cheaper pistol and just keep rushing people
Cheaper?
If you have peacekeepers 2 i suggest using mp5
Do you know how to level the traders
Yeah I’m standard edition so I need to do some quests
Should focus on levelling the traders. Use scav gear
Most early quests are killing scavs and doing stuff
Night time raids with a flashlight can help avoid pvp
If that's your thing
Focus on using one weapon if possible that way you'll get better at controlling it.
I'm pre sure you can get mp5 as barter trade as well for 8 of those knives at peacekeeper 1
flashlight at night is a little 
Night time with a torch has been my favourite way to play lately
Just adds a bit of spice
how to find team mates
?
Anyone wanna play i got game today im noob
u wann team up?
Can anyone help me get key for Checking Prapor Task out of Customs? On USA servers but got no mic
What can be found in marked rooms
@bold kernel random weapons, some are expensive 50k+
keychain is worth 500k
some cases like holodilnik, ammo case, etc
good bullets
@bold kernel
Marked can spawn:
Guns: Pretty much anything
Bullets: Same here, pretty much anything
some barter stuff, like horses, chainlet and golden chains
Cases: Holodilnik, Ammo, Mag, Meds, Grenade, Doc, Keytool, Wallet
Thank youuuu
Miiight have missed something, but thats it mostly.
inside the cases stuff can also spawn like food, mags, ammo and keycards/keys in their respective case
anyone wanna play with a noob and maybe teach me a thing or two? EU server
Well, yes. But that is technically not a marked room spawn @worldly oasis
Still correct though
fair enough
it can't spawn GLs, about the only exception
Unpopular opinion: Just another gun
XD
GLs cant spawn anywhere if i remeber correctly
Currently they are turned off again, I think, but that switches back and forth
anybody down to run some customs or something with me im levell 11 i suck ass and i dont wanna die alone lol
@errant root what server
im on NA east
Is your mic good
i hope so
Customs?
yeah its the map ive been playing lately, starting to get to know it decently
idc tho ill play anywhere, just looking for a partner
Add me I'll help you for a whike

level up skier to level 2
Like it says, getting skier to level up.
So when you go to his trader window, you see the level, rep and money traded for it
If you are lvl 10, might be worth looking at flea for it
at lvl 10, whats the best way to make money?
Uhh... going to Interchange and loot stuff.
theres only that on flea
quests can be noice
Ah, well..
but sell most on flea market
Eh, only late Quests really give good money
what level i can start upgrading my pouch?
Well, Gamma, if you got IRL money. (EoD edition)
Beta at lvl 10 from Peacekeeper, but 'eh' in worth.
Epsilon by doing the Punisher Questline from Prapor (Part 6 is with lvl 21)
And Kappa by doing basically nearly all Quests in the Game (Collector Quest from Fence is the final)
@turbid pawn
Stash upgrade past lvl 2 is not worth much anyway
Is there a way for me to deposit in game roubles to buy stuff?
because I have a wad of it sitting in my stash and the money I got from buying the game and its not letting me buy from parpor
prapor*
can someone help me fast? im mid raid i got no idea how to get out of here
reserve
im in beginners assisstance voice
guys, when the game will wipe?
End of year/start of next most likely. Maybe later
i kinda know factory, customs and woods
Learn ze maps, take ur time and have fun
if you do it at night it's a little easier if you just rush the spot... either camp for 15 minutes or rush it, when you get to factory
wich one is better, reserve or interchange?
reserve
theres any map for it?
@turbid pawn Interchange is safer, especially if you like killing scavs
^
100%
i only see geared people on ic
Just avoid them.
Not much different to Reserve
There's geared people on every map...
More alternatives on IC tho, imo
you're more likely to die to raiders/gluhar on reserve than you are to die to geared players
Don't suppose anyone wants to have a raid or two with me, getting my head kicked in every raid
in a few hours i can do some with you
Wow, I randomly killed Shtuman.
Thought he was a player hiding in a corner like that.
I've been playing this game for 2 days and have already learned of the legendary Shturman
does an armored rig count as body armor for the jaeger quest to kill scavs on woods without body armor?
I think so
Only thing allowed is helmet
According to the wiki, but what I did when I did that quest was run armor but just drop it when I ran into a scav
@frozen jewel wanna play a raid or two dm me
what can i get for a clock and a rolex
Like barter or price?
Check the wiki
click on them required search, filter by barters
im going to be running around interchange if any one needs to go their
Quick question. I use Corsair Void Pro headphones but the audio doesn't seem to be very directional. Kinda just comes from everywhere. Anyone else experienced this?
Need a hand with Some tasks im lvl 6 need 10 flee maret anyone intrested in helping
i will
@summer osprey... No... I didn't lol my bad. Thanks for the answer though.
@forest acorn if you have any sort of surround sound 'on' in windows anywhere, turn that off
and turn bianural sound on
So turn off corsair's surround mode? Or just windows settings?
try just windows first
and if that doesnt help
then disable corsair's surround as well
Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm so new I'm still learning pretty much everything.
kinda dumb question but do you loose your xp after you die in a raid or do you get less or do you get the same amount?
You get more surviving a raid
But you still get xp when you die as a PMC
Scav xp doesn't transfer to ur PMC
at all
surviving gives you 300xp extra
need a hand with delivery from the past quest if anyone wants to help
yo
What gives the most exp?
killing
Ooohhh,welp that’s why I’m stuck
questing..
killing A LOT gives you a bunch of exp
but even if you're just killing scavs a headshot is an extra 150 exp
raiders and boss scav gives the most exp and quests yes
anyone need help with quests?
any german who want to play with newcomer?
thats racist only asking germans
.... i can eng to the prob is noone have the time to talke in detail with me
🤔
the only german i now is the sturme ther liebe
you know i can understand nearly everything in eng but talking i is a little bit hard because how should i learn to talk better in eng when no one is going in an konversation with me
but whatever ^^
striking up conversation is more common than you think, but you do you
He's saying his english isnt the best, and he'd prefer to communicate in german
fellas whats the best way to get fuel...?
Not really a beginner but thought this might be a good place to ask a question
what's a good way to kill PMC's with pistols? need to get my skier loyalty up
@silk quartz factory in the rafters... dress dark, cover your face... hide up there witha silent pistol.. get up there and camp quickly
For guns, take a 5/7 with SS190, a SR1MP with SP13, or a Glock 18 with Pst Gzh and aim for the legs.
how the hell do people get on that roof in customs....?
Which roof?
@dense tundra Interchange, in Oli, or on Reserve
the one with the three warehouses?
i think so ya
@dense tundra pretty sure those are sniper scavs you're seeing
So yeah, probably sniper scav.
the left of the 3 warehouse buildings can spawn a scav atop
i saw them up there so i tried parkouring up there and got pissed bc i couldnt find a way to my kill
oooooo
customs can spawn 3 different sniper scavs
5
there.. on the eastern cliff rocks and on top of one of the 2 giant smoke stack together things
where are the other 2?
One on the warehouse by construction, one on the smoke stack, one on the warehouse, one at the checkpoint, and one on the cliffs behind checkpoint.
i dont think the one at the checkpoint is considered a sniper is it?
it is
oh yes the one one warehouse by construction forgot him.. and alright then i guess
They can have "sniper scav" guns
scoped mosins, SV98s, etc
plus that one also has NVGs, sniper scavs and boss/boss AI are the only AI that can have NVGs
afaik at least
best way to up money spent w/ peacekeeper? Is there anything on flea that will generally sell at cost to him?
buy his m9a3 pistol and sell it back to him
@drifting jolt @silver hornet thanks for the info
apparently, i got all my PMC pistol kills while pistol running for other quests...
i even made a glock 18c loadout for RIP rounds, and it just didnt work in factory
(FSR, i also took a pretty modded out S-58 for some reason, burning an additional 150k to 175k per run)
i never use rip rounds... too unreliable for me
I'm still learning about the different rounds and what they are meant for. Spent 20 mins trying to figure out why a type of round wouldn't load into my AK74 but then I noticed that the gunbis chambered for ttk rounds I think. (probably wrong)
Just unlock the fleamarket 4head
@forest acorn if you inspect a weapon, it'll tell you what caliber it's in.
For the damage and penetration of each round, you can check the wiki page
!ammo
Yea, I figured that out after a bit. Last night was my first time starting the game up but I managed to survive 3 PMC raids and 2 Scav raids.
not bad for someone new
what do you guys think
0/10 not minimum recoil MPX
I avoided fights to start with because I figured the goal is to survive, not run into gunfights. But I did take 3 dog tags in all lol
depends on budget
what does power utility key open
I've 140k only
@dense tundra a room outside of power station on interchange but its really bad\
bad?
yes
not good loot?
do I get parts cheaper when I level up traders?
which key is it again?
yes
you can also buy ammo really cheaply from leveled up traders
power utility next to the shopping mall
even AP bullets?
yes
thank you
I have some dorm keys, but every time I tried to go there it was really shady so I kinda ducked out lol
damn lol
@bold kernel best MP7 bullet. 751 from Mechanic, more than double that from the flea.
What about shotgun AP
AP-20 slugs?
Yes
Amazing
Lol I have "the death of the chairman" and I was pleasantly surprised when I actually got to use it on Customs lol
lfg factory dm me NA
how do you guys like to start on building your hideouts
You can do it right away but you will be a homeless man with 100k roubles
Should i start running ok gear? i have like 1.4 mil and im still running mosins with paca armour
its completely up to u
if u wanna run good gear then do it
id recommend it, it is fun but i have 130mil and sometimes its fun to run with bad gear so its really up to u
ok thanks
Is it fair to not be able to do the pistol kill stirrup quest because everyone has really good gear at this point in time
I don’t feel like doing it on any other map than factory but everyone just absorbs my bullets
dont know what u mean by is it fair but id recommend go to either factory and find other pistolings or go to a map like interchange or shoreline and look for hatchlings there
Yeah I only run into chads on factory Sadge
so then use my 2nd option
Other than onetime I hit a guy 10 times and he’s still not dead xD
@pliant topaz which one is the stirrup quest
3 PMC kills with handguns
Can anyone geared help me with this factory quest real quick
The first time I went to factory I got eaten up by a ppsh guy with a gen 4 high mobility and an Altyn
All I had was a mp153 with 7mm buck lmao
Is it a good idea to empty all your mag cases before trying to craft a scav junk box?
in case it decides to take the full one?
actually nvm i just realized you can open containers in the craft selection screen
what is good ammo for mp5? im new so i dont have access to a lot of stuff
is ps0 gzh good
58 flesh damage
You can drop people with that
Hit some caches, I found ap6.3 and rip today
Peacekeeper is huge early on
Yo could i have some assistance?
@unborn hill of what type?
@drifting jolt just need some walkthroughs on finding extract points
my main problem is not being able to find them
@unborn hill Could do Offline raids with a map from the wiki at the side to find them.
How do you do offline raids?
After choosing a map (with your PMC) you come to this page when pressing next:
http://puu.sh/Gw74o/8d27ffee22.jpg
In offline you gain nothing, but also lose nothing
100%
No problem :)

make sure ur using good ammo
Personally, I dont shoot unless I can kill in the first shot
And a low recoil gun
low recoil does make things easier, but things like the ash 12 hit like a truck but have mad recoil
Yea
It's just how you position your self eith specific guns
You ain't gonna want to take a long or mid range fight with ash 12 really but with a hk or something long range is always good
can anyone talk through to me in DM's for just general help on the game
i get killed every gunfight
and i just dont know how to win/stay alive
start by setting a goal 😄
Goal of getting head eyes every raid
@mint wedge Avoid all fights you cant win... Always try to reposition... dont peek from the same angle twice if you can help it... Retreat a fair amount and hide in a good spot to ambush your pursuer...
go into an offline raid, take in a bunch of ammo and just practice headshotting scavs
^
@mint wedge I really don't have much advice, you will eventually get a feel for the game. But, try to always aim for the head, you want to get the fight over with as fast as possible. Also, from what I've seen, it's better to just return fire when getting shot at, instead of running. If you try to run to cover, there's pretty much a 100% chance you're gonna die, because you'll either get headshot, or really low. If you don't get hit, you're probably gonna die anyways, since you most likely won't know where the enemy is. This only goes for if you're not next to cover though, if you're near cover, and you know where the enemy is, you could probably do well to take cover. If you don't know where the enemy is, I'd say you should try to aquire where they are, and if you are low, then go back into cover, but if you're not low, then try to kill them. Also, audio is extremely important. I can not stress enough how useful it is. Having audio can help you know where the enemy is, how close to you they are, and how far around the corner they are. If you have gear fear, you really need to get over it. Having good gear on you helps so much. You should also have a good grasp on your skill, and when you should take a fight or not. From my experience, it's best to wait until your enemy is more vulnerable. If they're near cover, it's probably best not to take the fight unless you're confident that you can take them down quickly.
Of course, I'm only level 11, and have maybe 30 hours on this game, I may just be talking out of my ass, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
oh jesus that was longer than i thought
i think survival is more important, so duck into cover first, you have an idea of where they have shot you assuming their first shot didn't kill you
then after preliminary first aid (painkillers), you want to circle around them if you're looking to fight back, or just run if they're not your target
always put terrain between you and your aggressor, you'll find them soon enough if you choose to circle back on them
always be on the move, leave the fight if it's going poorly or neutral for too long
Yeah, but from my experience I usually get gunned down when running for cover, unless I'm close to it. You probably have more experience than me though
if you're getting gunned down running for cover, then there's nothing you can do
if you're gonna try to acquire and try to shoot back, better make that return shot nutty as all hell
also, they've already spotted, ADS'ed, and pouring lead downrange
so unless by the will of Nikita that he wants you to survive, you're dead anyways
Yeah, true
I may just be talking out of my ass, so take what I say with a grain of salt
Guess I wasn't lying lol
I really don't have much advice, you will eventually get a feel for the game. But, try to always aim for the head, you want to get the fight over with as fast as possible. Also, from what I've seen, it's better to just return fire when getting shot at, instead of running. If you try to run to cover, there's pretty much a 100% chance you're gonna die, because you'll either get headshot, or really low. If you don't get hit, you're probably gonna die anyways, since you most likely won't know where the enemy is. This only goes for if you're not next to cover though, if you're near cover, and you know where the enemy is, you could probably do well to take cover. If you don't know where the enemy is, I'd say you should try to aquire where they are, and if you are low, then go back into cover, but if you're not low, then try to kill them. Also, audio is extremely important. I can not stress enough how useful it is. Having audio can help you know where the enemy is, how close to you they are, and how far around the corner they are. If you have gear fear, you really need to get over it. Having good gear on you helps so much. You should also have a good grasp on your skill, and when you should take a fight or not. From my experience, it's best to wait until your enemy is more vulnerable. If they're near cover, it's probably best not to take the fight unless you're confident that you can take them down quickly.

@upper gorge
"Audio is extremely important."
Yes.
FUCK you, Skier
who should you sell your gfx cards to that arent found in raid? therapist?
Keep them for your later Bitcoin Farm
But if you REALLY have to sell them, yes Therapist
i dont think ill get to a bitcoin farm since im such a low level
That’s for max bit coin farm but save them and get low tier bit coin farm
Thats why I said 'a total'.
And you got months of time. You will get one.
spoilers, we all started at a low level
howdy yall
i know this is probably a super annoying question but is there any resources yall would recommend checking out
@slender vapor thank you yo
@slender vapor any particular map you would recommend starting on?
Customs is easy to learn, good extracts, lots of scavs and is easy to escape from fights
Customs
Customs...
Is it better to use the SKS with PS ammo or Mosin with LPS for someone who’s below lvl10? I’m asking because I lost all my AKs
Sks with PS is better if you have a hard time hitting you shots but mosin is better if you can hit at least most of your shots
If your spamming with the sks then sights don’t really matter
if you're doing that you're already dead
Thanks for the info you guys!
From my experiences you can rush someone while spamming sks and it works most of the time also sks is cheaper
naw, not geared guys
that might work if they have like no gear
but anyone halfway competent will kill you
Anyone want help?
If your trying to fight people decked out in armor at close range your probably fucked unless you get a lucky shot
Didn’t they nerf the LPS recently?
I think so but it’s still a top tier ammo
Nice
@tiny pelican @rain stone they added the 5 extra HP to the chest, so theres a chance it will not one shot now
anyone need help?
I'm looking for some help, lvl 3 trying to learn a bit. i keep getting smacked
@craggy plover @buoyant crypt I'm going to need some help, but not tonight. I have some things I need to do. Are you guys NA?
yes sir
im lev 6 need help im 19 mature and tryna learn this game
im lev 6 need help im 19 mature and tryna learn this game
@terse arch if you give me a few minutes I can help you bud.
I can talk a lot though, so I hope you like being overloaded with information. Lol
Should I buy red rebel for 6.25m or do they normally go for less?
I have 9.5m roubles at the moment
Think they sell for about 5.7 mil
Better to wait for better prices then?
Yeah, try to get it at 5.2
i got lucky and got one for 4.9
What's better for muzzle? Suppressors or Comps?
Depends on the gun, budget, ammo and play style
Where does one go if they want to run some games with people on this discord ?
can you silence a ds arms sa 58 and if so how
@distant obsidian you can do a linked search on the barrel, and see your options there. keep in mind that some muzzle brakes might be able to add a suppressor on top as well
thanks
Hey guys if I have an M4 would it be fine to cheapen out on the ammo with M855
If you’re doing an expensive build then go for good ammo
If otherwise, use cheap ammo
Yeah my M4 is a budget build
@distant obsidian do the barter trade from Jaeger for the RR, it's loads cheaper
m855 is about as good as 762 ps and 545 bp so its fine for low levels. just aim for heads because you will struggle on lvl 4+ armor (though with the high rof maybe 5+)
Not wrong.
But that depends on the M4, semi stock, yes.
Fully modded... kinda wasted to use M855 imo
Also, maybe consider topping your mags of with m856a1, it's 200 roubles more when you have the flee unlocked, but it will hold up against lvl 4
But you have to decide whether the money is worth it or not
Just had a crazy run where i fought 3 people and killed two. one was a lot higher lvled than me
how beginner do i have to be to get help
I been playing for a month and still come in here :p
yeah i havent been in here but im lvl 14 but still struggling
Im trying to get that sweet lvl 30 for all the hideout upgrades @_@
@bold kernel There is no 'level limit' to getting help. Anyone is welcome
Bruh, is strafing even worth trying to do in tarkov? i just got into a fire fight and he was strafing yet he landed like every bullet yet i missed heaps
Strafing will make you less accurate, of course.
If you know how to counter it, its not as bad
Yeah ik
Like move left right, stop and shoot
i got fucked on lul
Yeer
I mean hip fire tho
When u do that doesnt matter too much
Add a laser bing bang boom
Ez
lmfao
I just got capped when i was in dome on reserve by an ap 20 slug...
Didn't even see the gyuy
guy*
welcome to silenced shotguns :D
Pew
thunk
Setup is only annoying because of the required Ushanka
@fast rivet There is no easy way to change ammo type in a shotgun, right?
in a saiga, sure
Well, 153
others, not too sure, haven't tried
would be cool if there was ann animation to unload one completely by chucking it 4-8 times
NIKITA PLZ
Would work, yeah
Technically you can, but thats loud, cause you just fire them, lol
But yeah, asking cause I rather wanna use Buckshot in places like Dorms, but normal AP20 slugs for most other places
shrugs
hence why i mainly run siagas, AP20 for pmc's, shit buck for scavs
Well, Setup and Silent Caliber doesnt allow Saiga xD
oof
Literally only MP153/133
And even then, I kinda like the MP153
Saiga is not bad, no.
But it kinda... urges to just shoot lead, instead of aiming
ye, its pretty good
i'd like the others too but the pump is so damn long when you're in a hurry
Yeaaaaah, MP153 with silencer is so DAMN long
That killed me once in Dorms
@fast rivet Like... Look at this
Its like... as long as Iam tall!
http://puu.sh/GwgY7/615dee7e73.jpg
Or just... yknow, PMC taking more than one shell at the time into his hands
I 100% still wanna do my '(near) only shotgun wipe' next wipe
Maybe I'll get em to Mastery 😛
So I got a question, If I join someone's group If Im in RU region and the other person is in EU region does it connect me to the exact same server as his or the one Ive chosen?
you join the one you joined
Leader of the group choses servers.
no
Nope.
None of the Quests requiring a special thing to do, or to bring out a unique QUEST item, can be done as Scavs, ONLY PMC
anyone wanna come questin' with a fresh wipe? got a fair bit of stuff stashed up, still just on debut though lol, in EU.
as i new player, i find the ammo system very frustrating sometimes
@umbral quarry Whats the issue?
Can we help?
its just i literally have no way to get good ammo unless i loot it in a raid so its frustrating when most people have class 5 or better armor and i just cant do shit about it
like i have the chart so i know which ammo is good, i just cant get it yet
Well, yeah, the path from lvl 1-10 is hard.
Best ammo you can get is 545 BP by buying the AKS from prapor (30 rounds in mag for it)
or 762 PS for SKS / AKM
yeah im level 9 right now
Lvl 10 will makes things easier for sure
At the same time, giving out 'good' ammo from the start makes armor worthless overall
shrugs
Its hard to balance either way.
The balancing will come at a later point, when the game is being released
That too, I guess
We it's balanced if you play on wipe curve, outside of that not so much
I mean, thats the issue though a bit.
Cant start even a week late
Or you are fucked
But it shouldbe obvious that a person that didnt invest anything should not be able to get the same gear as someone who leveled, that would destroy the whole progression
Yes.
Like I said. Hard to balance either way.
No way is perfect
Not in an online game
You can only balance it from one point of view
But there are multiple, in my opinion you shouldnt be able to buy gear that isnt unlocked at your trader. It destroys the point if you ask me
But lets not start that discussion here, its wayyyy to big and not solvable without experimenting
Well, trader ammo is atm there to get it cheaper shrug
But yeah, its a semi pointless discussion. No way is the right way.
A quick Scav run on Factory was worth I guess
that M61 is worth
is there any sights from earlier traders that are good?
for ak so shorter range
anyone need help
@umbral quarry prapor lvl 1 PSO scope
have you unlocked Jager yet? I use the EKP-8-18 pretty often still (lvl 50+)
unless you mean just like a red dot
in which im dumb
other than that peacekeeper lvl 1 has the T-1 and the fast fire 3
twest
?
Where do I buy storage containers for my stash?
@brittle oak Most are from Therapist & Mechanic
Best is to check the wiki for the specific one you want.
Why is Sugar so expensive?
i think its like another form of currency @copper shale
Its to make Moonshine
I kept two sugars because I know from Karmakov that he kept them too.
Now I looked at the price and that's quite expensive for sugar with no real good barter trades or crafting
About 7%
Does gas for generator spawn on customs?
Ok guess I've just had terrible luck. Thanks
@foggy brook im level 9 and ive gotten 4 of the 60's and one 100
One has 60 'units' of fuel, the other 100
if u scav in
u only have 15 minutes left in raid generally
and killa and all the pmcs generally are off the map
and 50% of playerscavs are pretty friendly
if they wiggle at u
O I forgot about scavs
u know they just going in for loot and getting out
O ok
ya
Also Killa only is in the middle of the mall
Ok
Also Killa is almost always killed by the time you can scav in
^
people RUSH him
if killa is still alive
instead of trying to kill killa
run away
and look for bodies killa killed
EZ profit
And if he isn't he doesn't aggro as hard on scavs, he will still kill you but he will be less likely to chase you down
not looted

That's cute🥰
does offline mode have loot spawn differently every raid
cuz it isnt changing loot in this reserve offline
i wanna check loot spawns but it the same every time , anyone who knows could they msg me (kinda tryna learn reserve
money money money
Eyyy

Hello everyone
Hello bossman
could someone help me with finding flash drives for a quest
Customs in the computer van, in computers, on computers desks, plenty of computers on interchange @bold kernel
@drifting jolt i have found 10 gpus in interchange looking for flashdrives today 0 flashdrives though
@bold kernel for those quests where you have to get FIR items, you wont find too much help, bc you're basically asking for someone else to help you look for shit...
wellll its fucking depressing
well ive been stuck on some quests for weeks, month+
so the fact you cant find them in one day is not 'fucking depressing'
just so you know... wasnt trying to be a dick
some quests you'll take a long time to finish.. it just happens
you think finding flash drives is hard, wait til you get the collector quest lolz
@bold kernel just making sure, you never check inside computer towers for flash drives, you can only find them sticking out of the front
sometimes, they are loose loot drops, but only in a few locations
bruh nice try im notnew i just want help
didn't know, just keep checking computers then
yikes
i can go many raids without finding them, but every now and then i can find 4 in one IC raid
yeah ive heard that how it is sometimes they just dont spawn anywhere in a raid
you still on about the flash drives? lolz
he's freaking out because he cant find the ones he needs on the first day he's got the quest lol
Someone clearly wasn't around at the beginning of the wipe 👀
We all know how that was
But, to echo what others have said, Interchange has at least 40 computers spread around the map. Check the offices of the big 3 stores there
hey y'all
i just got the game and im having a hard time finding mp 133s
where can i get them ???
Hey guys
how can you tell a scav from a pmc 😮 ?
You can learn their spawns as well as generally they have a different kind of movement of than real players and shooting patterns
I probably could have said that better
it kinda is hard to tell at first glance, but scavs typically stand still for extended periods of time, walk a little bit and stop again
They also shout in Russian from time to time, and especially when they first detect you
they're a little smarter nowadays and can also check their magazines, sprint, and do a wiggle (usually seen if you're on a scav run)
