You can do a horribly overpriced barter for a beta container
Gives two more slots than the alpha
ITS HARD customs kills me while doing quests
I did last wipe lol. Even those two extra made my life good
yo real talk
I am a wannabe customs sherpa

intresting
you wanna sherpa me then bro?
i have a question so when will the christmas tree be gone
I know customs but i get fucked
What quest
by scavs in an inconvenient spot or players
bad rep and hidden water but i have both keys
What's the good map to learn first? Customs? My buddy back in the day told me to run factory all the time and I feel like I got fucked over a lot
customs
And are akin to those who run reserve first thing
That's what I thought
Yeah he wasn't the best teacher which is probably the reason I fell out of it
interchange
I usually play factory whenever i get tired of getting dumpstered on customs LUL
only when I need to be im not a chad but not a complete rat but i get scared when I hear gunshots
not yet i dont think
Im not clueless on customs though I know the map lmao
Yeha facts bro
haha
Pick a customs channel and lemme go to the bathroom. I'll pop in after
yeah i still jump when i get sniped from outta nowhere
Actually can we do it later this afternoon im in class bro
im at work, but would love to join you guys some time
Same
the more the merrier I guess? lmao
Ill add u guys and make a gc
At least I ain't the only one that browses tarkov discord at work
I'm in a boring ass meeting so any distraction at this point lol

Nah but if any of y'all ever @ me and want to see the rat side of customs/help on quests, I don't mind going thick and being the distraction/help. 
so r u down?
I thought you were working 
Yeah, for sure. Just hmu
I found a tetriz should I sell it at the flea market or to mechanic for bitcoin
taxes
Taxes will cut on your earnings
I have a red keycard I cant sell
where do I sell the bitcoin
its 0.2 bitcoin
So I got delivery from the past, should I try to solo into factory or try my best to get a 5 squad ?
oh wow imagine if you had a full one!1
Yah
people that 5 squad into factory don't even get keys from jackets as karmic justice
I would 5 man so I don’t have to go to customs again
Get a 5 man. Do the quest. Run around the place for exploration exp or wait for 10 mins. You should be good.
If I put e.g. laser on rail in raid do both items get FiR?
is there a full one? or you saying hypothetically
i was being a dumb
ah i see
if i need to gear out my PMC, which dealers sell a good gun/armor/backpack...not sure what i should be buying if my PMC has died so many times i dont have that free starting gear
what should i sell for peacekeeper to get his lvl up
bro these scavs headshotting you with a shotgun 20+ metres away is getting ridiculous
tarkov market prices
have u been shot from across the map by a sniper scav on customs yet?
their bullets curve through my helmets
@torpid zinc diaries, ssd, intel stuff usually is cheaper in ruble and sells for good $
@gaunt mason Do scav runs until you feel better about what you have lost so far. Sell what you don't want and keep the rest for your PMC loadouts. It's great way to get back to a positive place.
im not sure what to do with my new years gift gear
might just sell it off
i know i aint gonna profit from it
aight thanks!
@icy swan I can also just wipe my account each week, right?
that's what i did, even as a seasoned player. i'd rather have more budget efficient kits than one fk off gun
I read every 3 weeks
yeah its basically makin a new character - you can do it thru the bsg website
new starter kit, new name, new chance to pick bear/usec
So you volunteer to lose all progress and go back to starting fresh?
correct
It is real..but damn..no risk it...no biscuit.
i keep reminding them that tarkov is chock fulla loot, you'll get a turn
but lets say i am not broke, which is a good backpack to get and from which dealer
?
True, I just did scav runs until my inv was full of rigs, bags and guns and just forked over the 40k for the helmet and armour
scav bp/day pack are a good place to start if you're sub level 20 and have a little bit of cash
The more you level up the dealers, selling and buy stuff to and from them, the more they will have to offer you.
just want to know what a cheap and good gun/backpack/chest to roll with
sling or scav bp. maybe sling to start if you're brand new. get some comfort figuring out where loot it and how to extract
@cosmic tinsel thanks Evo, thats the answer i needed
(honestly almost ever scav has a backpack you could take too)
Also in doing so you upgrade your charisma, making pricea cheaper
I tend to stash the day packs and scav backs till I have about 12 of them..before I dip into them and use those for my PMC.
i'd go in without a bag and focus on surviving first, then
anyway, i am doing a run to maybe do the two intro quests if anyone wants to roll with me
@icy swan what are day packs?
backpacks
black scav bps, available as world spawns but not from lvl 1 ragman iirc
day packs are larger black backpacks. Same size as the Scav packs.
Sling, T-Bag, the EOSS, Army bag, blue dufflebag and the blue skiing backpacks are the ones I use at first until I can save enough of the larger ones.
Also as a tip. You can put bags or backpacks into other bags or backpacks of the same or larger size. You can stack them so they only take up the first bag or backpack spot in your stash.
👍
I followed the most recent gunsmith part 2 guide (Piranha's), and i meet all the requirements, except im 1 short on ergo, anyone know whats up?
can you post a screenshot of the inspect view
Right?
Is shorline a good starting map
customs
looks like it requires a different stock now, ty
Customs is..since most of your beginning quests will be there.
what key do u need for the truck for the bronze pocket watch?
machinery key
where do i get that
Or if you need help..I can buy it and give it to you in game.
or we can just unlock the door for you
Indeed.
lol
It helps to do the quest, to learn customs and such, but help is also good.
i know customs pretty well
is there like a quick move keybind to move stuff instead of dragging
ok
So how do you shoot the gun?
shift
Left mouse button.
are servers down
to shoot.
i just got disconnected because of connection but i have 30 ping rn
Not sure..
there is no "left mouse button" on my etch a sketch
im so new...does anyone wanna do a raid thing with me?
The launcher usually has the scrolling red banner that indicates issues are happening. There is nothing on my launcher atm.
Do you have a quick keyboard?
Babodias
Just the numpad and arrows?
Or are you in here trolling the help?
is there gamechat?
Are they using this discord?
umm i actually dont know...how would i ask or finout
Well can you talk to the group your with in any manner?
i just got level 2 workbench and level 2 shitter what are the most profitable recipies
i think he may be in a group with a bunch of AI's
its on the "loading loot" screen
Unless you guys are on the same discord chat channel..your not talking.
ok
It's ok Scottie. I'm happy to help.
Unfortunately that does happen a lot to new players. Used and abused for their loot they load in with.
When you scav spawn in with other player scavs you don't start -right- next to eachother. You start in the same general area.
anoyone wanna play EU im really new
ok yea im in and dont see anyone
no problem
Also Scottie it's a good idea to try and get a look at what the other players look like, weapons and outfits, to determine who is part of your group after you load into the raid.
so i had a good scav raid but i couldnt get the key :/
Did you extract?
ya
just killed someone!
4 kills to
Nice Scottie!
bluu. You cannot do quests for your PMC with your Scav. The key will not be there.
The key will only be there as your PMC
For quests that need Found In Raid items however, you can use your Scav to get them that way and turn them in.
Hello all semi new player struggling heavy to do anything and have all but lost all my starting gear. trying to do customs scav kills looking for some pointers
just find another shotgun with the laser sight and yoink it from there
how many scavs are on woods?
went into an offline raid just to see and killed 15 and there was still loads around
they spawn somewhat continuously
i haven't done offline raids but i've heard they have a much higher scav spawn rate than online raids
Anyone know where I can get this AKS-74/AKS-74U PT Lock
I need it for gunsmith part 2
quest
thats the scav boss of customs, @short hare 🙂
When the season resets do we get a complete wipe of all our progress etc?
yes
Anyone know where I can get this AKS-74/AKS-74U PT Lock
I need it for gunsmith part 2
quest
damn i just died
Yes.
his guys are tough, but they're NPCs. Hold angles, be careful, shoot agressively, or avoid altogether
And doesnt the season reset in 4 days or something soon?
then I got jumped by everyone
any experienced player down to guide me for a bit? I'm new to eft but i have good game sense and good at fps
it just reset, you have probably 8 months or so
No we just wiped like 2 weeks ago.
is it more profitable to strip down the new year gun and sell individual parts or just the sell the thing in it's whole
@cosmic tinsel slick thank you
generally strip down, if you're putting on flea. doesnt matter if you're selling to traders
@short hare those are scavs not players and theyre very easy to kill and have a lot of counterplay
sound
^^
where do i go if i wanna run a raid with someone
just dont run face first into them all like an idiot
I died in 1 bullet
btw I only saw 1 I didn't know there's something like this in the fucking game
youre just bad ¯_(ツ)_/¯
that happens sometimes. this is a difficult game
Verto, you suck your dad's eggs
thats tough
verto you came to the beginner channel to tell people they're beginners?
guys what does the 1.75 (very bad) mean? does it mean that mechanic gets 1.75 rep - or + ????
@patent scarab mechanic is best to repair, it doesnt really change much
what does the 1.75 mean then?
real talk though... scav ai is really wild now. i've had one triple take a pole. not even leaning, but side stepping how a player would
repair quality - all repairs reduce the max hp of item being repaired, but spending more for the repair means that theres less of an impact
all that changes is how many points of durability you lose on repair
it's awesome to be able to see them get more wise as the game grows 🙂
ohh okay thanks guys 🙂
only thing I do in this game is play scav runs cuz I don't got any weapons and armor for normal runs
i've had the same experience. they're really unpredictable now sometimes
but I play like 20 scav runs and I only escape once
that's a good move for now. play safe, look to loot and only kill npcs, and figure out the areas that are most dangerous for you
Problem is I keep running into people who aren't playing solo
that'll be super common.
just play how you would play if you were a pmc
hard to do anything when I only have a pistol and no armor lol
as a solo player, you'll spit on anyone that relies on others.
super common. try to avoid and not engage/catch their attention
@short hare go to #pvp-lfg and look for someone to teach you; games a lot easier if someone teaches you what to loot and how to extract
I know how to extract
if you hear more than one set of footsteps, its not your party, hide in a bush and let them move through
watch some pestily he gives alot of amazing tips
Can you do tasks as a scav?
nope
Okay<3
anyone having problems with gunsmith part 2?
mostly no, but you can find found in raid items that you'll need for tasks
with the mp5?
Correct
aks
Oo okay :o Makes sense tbf
i think i sold mine xD
Found in Raid items can be acquired using your Scav.
but have all the mods on another
brooo gunsmith part 3 is impossible i cant get the mp5sd silencer LOL
unload the mag if its filled, the ammo in the mag will make it weigh too much for task
you can do it without mp5sd, using a traditional 9mm silencer
The threaded nut is a pain.
yikes
wich one?
send me a ss please
i really want to finish that stupid task
that all i need???
thats the one i used, ya
look for different foregrips/pistol grips that provide more bonus to ergo than what you have on now
what do i need more??
got the 60mag
xD
you're gonna have to do a whole rebuild to make it look like that pic and im queuing for raid here
really
yeah
mp5sd needs to come off
shit
okay
grab one of your pistols, and just try and make it through raid without dying
I thought gunsmith pt2 was just build the mp5sd and add a couple things, lol
@patent scarab you need the barrel
I only got 1 pistol and it's like 20k
it is, but it can be done without the mp5sd parts
so it's practically locked behind peacekeeper level 2
wich one what do you mean?
forreal? you can silence it without?
it worked xD
because that doesn't sound right
ya threaded lug and traditional 9mm silencer. i posted a screenie above and it's what i did
got all this shit, how can i finish gunsmitch part 3 now?
copy the screenshot i sent
okay
you're so far down the mp5sd path you may just wanna do that too
you're close either way
@short hare You also have a TT
huh. were you always able to put it on the normal barrel?
yea
i feel like I would've seen these attachments before... wtf
at least since two wipes ago i used to run it
mp5sd is gorgeous but a pain to build
ah I didn't see it
just a big sigh. means i waited on the quest for nothing lol
nbd. the return on value of the gunsmith quests goes up as the wipe goes on
fewer people rushing the few key parts on flea
im sitting on part 5 because the nightforce mounting bracket is locked behind jaeger 3 or 4
not worth blowin half a million roubles when the mount comes up
I found one my second raid this wipe.
you lucky gun
where can i find these shotguns
on dead scavs
or buy from jaeger
he is locked
jaeger doesnt unlock until after introduction
dead scavs then
and this is the same weapon right?
correct
doesnt work
yea but gunsmith takes a while
threaded lug
threaded lug indeed.
wich one?
I saw on on flea market recently for 150k O.O
hi there, who wants to team up with me? I'm low level, but exfil at least half the time
I need a sherpa to help me and friend to do a raid plz SEND HELP
is selling to flea market better than dealers
complicated answer. 1) you probably dont have flea unlocked yet. 2) you'll frequently get better prices on flea 3) you need to trade with traders to increase their rank and unlock new items from them
for most things but you won't be leveling up your money spent with traders
okay thx
this one???
also are prices on flea market for weapons cheaper or about the same?
does it linked search to aac illusion suppressor? @patent scarab
is anyone interested in playing with this poor PMC
varies
rotor 43 or somethins
ive been trying to get back from jaegers camp alive with that first quest, usually make it there, but still haven't made it out 😦
um like what's the cheapest weapon that I can buy from flea market
pm, but SKS is a great budget weapon after that
yeah it's 23k from prapor
well I only got 366k and I'm losing money quickly lol
i know i know. do scav runs to generate cash and find guns
once you get reliable exit paths and learn to avoid bad fights you'll do a lot better with generating cash
Hey guys! is there an updated list of which ammo type you should keep and which you should sell?
people will be arguing about the best tarkov ammo types after i'm dead
thank you guys it worked 🙂
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics i'd sell anything that doesnt penetrate the armor class you want to kill
thanks meevo!
yep, except for whats in your secure container
im going into a night woods raid
i'm glad! these missions are designed to teach you about weapon modding so it's a pain but it makes it easier the next time
🙂
im pissing myself cuz the fucking cultist gonna come up and rape me D:
LUL
fairly confident they just stab and/or shoot
unless they've implemented new ai behavior
how do you open your compass?
U
honestly if you just prone in a bush for 5 min, get a glass of water, come back and go to jaeger, probably all the other people doing that mission will have left by then
theres 0 meaningful loot around his shack, and everyone goes in with baby gear so it's not worth camping
i keep getting sniped otw to extract
its a bad feeling. move slow towards exfil, listen for gunshots that indicate the existence of a sniper well ahead of the time you get there, keep your eyes peeled, and be willing to change exfils if you need to
On what map
I've been trying to clear my inventory for a long time and I need some serious help. No idea what to sell.
As a new player, this game has given me some of the best adrenaline I never had, but recently I’ve been dying after deploying by people who knows spawn locations, I have yet extracted cuz idk where they are 😂 lose all my stuff but always fun to come back
I'm a new player, I played with some guys yesterday and had a blast, now I don't know what to sell.
its suboptimal but selling most of it isn't a bad way to start
Can I share my screen and have someone look it over for like 3 minutes? I'm really tired of playing tetris and I think I'm hording at this point.
you're not the first person to make that observation - spawns could definitely use a rework
Please and thank you 🙏
Hi I am a average player with a considerable amount of knowledge on this game but I am looking for someone to help or to teach my friend who just bought the game DM for info
sounds like you're qualified to help or teach him 😄
Okay thankyou
Accept the first 2 tasks from Prapor and Therapist.
play with map on second screen
Identify the guns, mags and ammo from the traders at least. Middle mouse is fast ID
Okay thankyou very much
when you get a gun in raid you cannot use it till you ID it and you cannot reload it till out ID the mag
which is not done when you ID the gun for some reason.
damn got sniped from no where on the way out
On customs?
so i have to press middle mouse button on guns before i can use them??
Only if they are grayted out
you only have to do it once for any of that type and then it is ID forever (till wipe)
What should i pick Bear or USEC?
doesnt matter really
usec starts with more expensive gear but bear gear is more adaptable
I need an admin
NICE
how do you engage in a fight when people don't know you are there? Like do you crouch walk as slow as possible to an angle to shoot them or do just run until you can shoot them? Asking about cqc fights
THANKSSSS @proper fox @hot tree
Anyone in here can give me some assistance?
yes
I feel like a lot of that is situation based. For example what gun you are using, how gears are you? Same goes with the one you want to kill
If im chasing a fully geared player with a pistol or a mosin, im gonna creep to get the headshot
If im geared with a full auto gun i might run in to catch him off gaurd
if i see a fat dude and i just have a pistol ima stay invisible
with fat i mean big armor and full helmet protection
yeah suuuuure
is there a way to tell what killed me? i heard shot from my right but there is no accessible area to my right...
scav sniper
zzzz
Death screen will say who and where they hit you. If it's a Russian name it's usually a scav
or no name usually means invisible scav snipers killed you
Thanks for the tips
@next geyser what kind of assistance?
guys if i have a lot of items and no stash space how do i know what to sell and what to keep and what to trade with dealers?
erm, things not needed for quests, what do you have a lot of?
What level are you?
5
Helpful info.
Sell those drum mags, they're shit. Make sure they're empty and sell them to mechanic
i just got slapped on the bridge on customs by a scav on the mounted lmg 😮 😮 wheres the report button when you really need it
I would stack all backpacks
stacking or not I still have the same space
What can I do when im running marked room on customs with dorms vex to not get a run through?
too*
also Ai-2 doesnt need to be in the container.
@polar current Minimum exp requirement met or min time in raid is the only way to avoid run through
how do I find min time in raid
i think its like 15 minutes
TY
And honestly id sell most mods for guns, its just hard to keep mods you arent currently using until you get the flea market where you can search for them. Keep scopes and silencers though
@proper fox unless they are either good for me or expensive on the flea i sell them to PK for a few extra dollars
Minimum time is 10 minutes i think
Im so bad with pk. I need to buy and sell more from him
I just need more money to get his level up
same
is anyone able to teach reserve to a couple people like call outs and stuff lol
can someone with skier lvl 2 buy me an AKS-74 PT lock for 3.7k rubles pretty please :)
How hard is it to get the traders leveled up?
just questing, spending money, and getting xp... takes time but its not "hard"
ok
guys is there on customs some ais with snipers or so every time i towards some kind of train i instantly get shot
yes
not even by svacs or pmcs
there's 5 potential sniper scavs on customs
there are scav snipers on roofs in customs
there is instadeath snipers on maps with no fences, like woods
does anyone want to help a newer player im trying to do tasks to get to level 10 im on NA server
Also going out of bounds you get shot
what is the best map to learn
oh you could out of bounds in the new area in customs
yeah, dont follow those train trakcs
wdym?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/667017659933655050/795950547710378014/dwk672exu6961.png i walked in the bottom part left to gas thats where that shitty thing is right?
the part that reads death yes
yikes
ya
lost so much rn because of that
i mean, it'll come back in insurance lol
same, three good runs I have died.
nobody else can go out there either
so igoniere that erea
easy fix 😉
how can i rotate some items in stash?
press R while holding them with left click
Anybody in NA wanna help with some of the early Customs quests im lvl 9 trying to hit lvl 10
look at all those guns, zero!
should pullt he foregrip and supressor off the red gun and sale it
gambit im caught in inventory hell but i'd be happy to cruise around
sweet
how do i mod this cheaply and what bullets do i use?
How can i ez to get the SICC?
not
@cosmic tinsel whats your ign
find the items and barter with jaeger
omg
You can also take off magazines and pistol grips from weapons and they become smaller :)
meevottv
but jaeger mission so hard for me 0.0
wouldnt bother modding, use standard buckshot, aim for face
@cosmic tinsel i sent you a friends request
can i not put suppressor on it?
lol most of them are bad
@cosmic tinsel wanna jump to customs 12?
is paracord any good
whos doing runs
I dont think it's worth a lot
paracord is good along with the Red Raider pick.
Paracord can be used for certain, and convenient, extracts on certain maps.
oh
You do need the Red Raider pick along with the paracord though. So you can either hold onto it until you can get red raider or sell it now.
ok just sell it to the traders?
If you don't have flea market..or you can wait till you hit levl 10
i have a lot of keys too
Red Rebel :p
Red Rebel..thanks.
the red raider a new tarkov boss ecks de
lol
A good name.
I should just sell BTC right?
lol.
No good trades or something.
It some good trades but if you sell it on the Flea Market..it's worth more.
u cant buy on flea
You cant even sell it there
unsellable
Has the kill pmcs with a pistol task beeen removed?
No, it is still there.
Anyone know the fastest way to level up metabolism
from what i know eat and drink in raid 🙂
eating...
Yeah ive been just bringing in aquamari and mayo
eating raw mayo
should i sell lion or save it?
u need for kappa
what is the worth of a propane tank
and hideout
Why do i keep dying after spawning on woods under 30secs ? (as usec and scav)
I just started playing was trying to get jeager unlocked
Any idea how to know where i have spawned?
I have the map in front of me but cant u understand where i am😭
well i give up i cant get anyone to teach me the map only get teamkillers so i guess idk what to do anymore on this discord
are you level 10 @proud lion
whats the ammo for shotgun that flash's people?
idk am i gonna try even kappa this wipe
i can take a propane tank or a gun
never had it before
KS-23 "Star" rounds
thanks

Is a level 4 armour at half durability better than a full durability lvl 2?
lvl2 = 50 armour points / lvl4 = 21 ap
If I scav into factory for those 3m armors. Will those count towards the quest?
in the marking fuel tankers task , if i extract before the defend the mark timer ends does it count?
I doubt it
and can i mark one and leave and it counts? or must mark all of them and then leavE?
yes
keep - you need 4 for a therapist task
once they're marked you dont have to mark them again
aight thanks!
i just ran into two dead guys standing on the extract... What an L
sweet
is eft bugged for anyone?
not currently
define 'bugged'
cant buy from flea market, stash items dont move
i'd try a relog
ty
If I put an item for a task in my container and I survive, can I still use it? I heard that I can use it for my task as long as I survive regardless of if it’s in my container but I wanted to make sure
if it needs to be found in raid for the task than no
since if you die even items in your container will not have the FIR
Wait
If I survive with it in the container does it work
It seems contradictory sorry
does the task your trying to do need to be found in raid?
Yes
then you have to survive
if you die even with a item found in a raid in your container it won't keep the FIR status
you'll keep it though
my gun is currently stuck in a reloading state is there a fix
Ok so the container has nothing to do with it. Gotcha. Thank you!!
its hella wack I cant do anything
you could try laying in a bush, alt+f4ing, and reconnecting
@karmic night also if you were to have survived and you got a run through, it also wont count as found in raid
so make sure to either stay in raid for 10 minutes+ or get a couple xp
i have a thermal sight and i can sell it for 50,000 to a trader is it worth it
lmao no
it isnt that one
they're both worth a half mil minimum
ok
50k is the cost of like, any decent gun
they've been that cheap
maybe not at the end of last wipe but flirs used to be like 200k last time i played seriously
they were almost the same price as REAPIRs last wipe
daaaang
Last time they were 100k was during the 0.12 wipe
i dont remember wipe numbers but i definitely used a ton of flir wipe before last
yeah that's when they were cheap
makes sense
0.12.0 wipe is when they were cheap because they spawned everywhere, so thermals were dirt cheap
0.12.6 wipe is when thermals were removed from in-raid spawn pools and you could only sell items on the flea market if you found them in raid/got it as a quest reward/crafted them, so thermals were really expensive
dunno about this wipe
ahhh interesting
yeah i definitely found a flir in white knight last time i took it serious so thats consistent
I found three on the roof of white knight once lmao
I had an issue where I couldnt use an esmarch because "my hands were busy" and I lost a fucking red card because of it
also is anyone having an issue with Dorms v ex?
It doesnt work
@icy swan I know that
:|
I stand next to the car
timer hits 0 nothing happens
car doesnt leave
its a glitch
I have yet to try that extract today so I cannot tell you if it's just you or not.
Most new players don't know you have to pay to extract there.
Otherwise..yeah probably a glitch.
who done SBiH on woods already?
i haven't confirmed this myself, but the interchange 3000 rouble extract was bugged as well, and the fix was bringin 3001 roubles
so try bringing 7001
shit
SBiH?
will do
Could someone please help me out by buying me a skeletonized AR-15 Grip please for the quest?
shooter born in heaven
Much easier to understand.
sbih is mentioned so often it carries its own acronym
I'm sure all quests do to seasoned vets. I'm not an acronym kinda player. I like verbatum.
No guessing that way.
yeah everyone has preferences but sbih and fir are definitely things
guys, how should i get peacekeeper LL2? buy dollars from him for roubles? im lvl17 and i only ever spent 600 dollars at him
buying dollars is the best way imo
you'll need to pay dollars for friend from the west part 2 anyway
$6k
okay
i got 2.6 mill roubles right now, and it costs me 1.3mill to buy 10.5k dollars from him, so hopefully the leftover money will be enough for a while
👍
i found 2 graphics cards should I sell them or keep them
i'd say keep
for what
i think asking price will go up once bitcoin farms start coming online
needs help with marking ambulances shoreline
you'll need 3 fir for farming part 4
stop bein weird, just deal with 1 quest being an acronym lol
buy SSD on flea and sell it to PK
don't buy dollars from PK
he'll need 6k anyway for quest. not sure how flea to pk compares, but its either not worth it or its a way to print money and everyone should do it
...wut
i dont know how to make it more clear lol
if you're selling SSDs at a loss, its more efficient to buy dollars
It's literally just better value to sell him SSDs if you want dollars
...wat
so its... profit? better than 1:1?
yes?
what are you on about lol
wow, its profit
thanks for the tip fam im off to farm money
wonder how long that'll last
you can sell an SSD for 39k roubles worth of dollars to PK, so as long as you're getting SSDs for less than that its free money
bruh
is there something i can do to find new people to play with
they're currently low 30s on market
you legit aren't getting this are you
i just explained it i got it thanks 😄
i just didnt expect there to be a market arbitrage opportunity here
it's not arbitrage
cause dollars are useless
so you can't really do anything with them other than buy PK items
or the few other uses they have
yeah which can be farmed into valuable FiR items through hideout
and sold for roubles again
Man I have so many questions, friend just showed me this server and I’m a trash noob
stonks
go on @naive ferry
that's more limited by PK level than it is the price of dollars, but yeah
Trying to help my friends with the game. I am trying to find the simple ammo chart. If anyone has a link that would be great
hello beginners-assistance, are you better than beginners-chat?
yeah, i need lvl 3 pk to buy m67 for peacekeeper and profitable trades
clearly 😉
God bless y'all XD
What’s the best gun and ammo combo for the early game
Can you farm task items as a scav
Does hunger and thirst get worse, it seems to have little affect
What’s the fastest leveling technique for getting to 10
I’m so lost and garbage at this game but interested in improving
yes 😄 the toxic kids are focused on the other chat so we should be safe here
- sks with PS is solid.
Is sugar a good item to hold onto? i have some found in raid
the only thing you can do for quests on a scav is get FIR items
@cosmic tinsel not the full ammo chart. It’s literally an image with the best budget and best in slot
- you can't
- it gets worse once you get your stomach blacked out
- quests and nice raids with many kills
What’s the best gun and ammo combo for the early game: i like SKS + PS ammo
Can you farm task items as a scav: yes
Does hunger and thirst get worse, it seems to have little affect: at 0 it begins doing damage to you
What’s the fastest leveling technique for getting to 10: quests
hope that helps @naive ferry ^-^
oh sorry havent seen it
oh I didn't read that correctly- you can farm quest items but you can't complete tasks like "Farming" from Mechanic
is the rip ammo for shotguns a slug, and is it good?
Ok good Info thx
yes, and it is not worth the price
Chat, I've got a question: I've got a labs key. I know the extracts and studied the map + the hotspots. I'd like to know what to bring with me in the raid and how to get prepared.. I'll send you a pic of my stash so you can tell me if I need to bring more stuff
Also is there a way for me to find people to group up with for beginners?
ask in the two beginner chats
I wouldnt - you'd probably be better off using a regular slug, and selling the rip
is gunsmith on wiki updated?
I don’t seem to have access to that channel probably cuz I just joined
no, ive been using reddit
you can ask here too
I'd play but
can U send link to post?
I am not as good as you think
just search the name of the quest on the eft subreddit
kk
theres a whole grip of em
I prefer buckshot to slugs personally
if you're going solo and are pretty green, I'd lean on a youtube guide for people in your situation
wait... you have 28k rubles?
yes :(
LOL
imo just learn to play real maps instead of diverting your attention 🙂
but it's all up to you ofc
agreed - magnum buck and go for the face
Thank you for knowing labs isn't a real map.
Did you just say aim magnum buck at the face
exactly, using slugs defeats the point
At that point just leave it at shoot their face and let them learn how thick is too thick
100%
buck is crazy good for headshots
its just a bigger hit area than bullets
and you dont need magnum for that but if you got lvl 2 jaeger you might as well have it in case you gotta go leg
7mm fucking sucks. And 8.5 has only worked against flesh for me.
so flechette being cheap is still the best choice.
flea market flechette is still cheap is what I mean
flechette good for tearing up armor mostly yea?
I don't have jaegar maxed. I wish
ammos are different, it's not like one is objectively better
It will do that and shred their flesh each time. And we're talking like
I've worn tier five and been two shot
against armor tho it wouldn't even dink
different ammos have different pen stats
Hence flechette being better. I think about if I'm fighting thickies.
and therefore different strengths and weaknesses
If it kills thick, it kills a stick.
ima be real i think this goes beyond beginners assistance
7mm even
they wont have 8.5
not really, pen ammo is usually much worse against unarmored dudes
what about 6.5
If much worse is enough to not kill I'd understand a desire to dispute
but it still one taps, and has the armor shredding the 8.5 doesn't. Just my preference since I don't like hitting legs.
we get it, you have views
james you have views too 😉
But there's a reason me and many others run flechette
you're not really discussing though, just on a monologue about your ammo choices
just like how you think knowing maps at 300 hours is anything
truuuu dat
if you aim chest use flechette, if you aim legs use magnum buck
damn you're cool
just good at what I do, thanks
the strength of buck is the 1 pellet headshot, so legs should be last resort
fuc ur cool
100% agreed
me over here having no clue whats being debated...
all i wanted to know is if the slugs i found were cool

if they're FiR to market
if they're FIR flea them
yeah i'd wait
ok
if you only got like 3 o them I'd just sell to mechanic
i just picked my first ump off a guy
also this is insurance from customs
im super hype 😄
Items in pouch even though I will survive will not have FiR?
if you survive raid they keep fir
if you runthrough or die they lose fir
Oh oke thanks
i have rip pistol bullets too, should i also sell those
Gotta get certain time i raid and a baseline XP gain not to be a run through.
I have jumped off a cliff before
i personally would. i think leg meta stuff is something that you've gotta be real ready for
isn't that more evidence that you didn't get looted in 1 raid
rather than proof nobody loots shit
i don't die much, lol.
fuck ur good
so idk. guess you can use that logic
but yeah, people pick clean stuff way worse than that, you just got lucky
rip my sks with no rearsight 😦
I guess. ;P maybe you are just dying in really bad spots, too?
Being a rat, I know where I fit.
Oh god, not another rat speech
is the total cost of all items in the stash current
like a fine cheese
erm, ye?
it's actively updated
i'm sure you're attempting a meme but i doubt anyone knows what that means
its a good metric but i wouldnt worry about how its calculated
yis
it's your rubles and the vendor price of everything in stash
damn
good 2 kno

that's a shit pun sorry bro
man i can never show my face here agin 
i think its my key collection
heck yeah! keep it growin
what a loss
can you tell me if i have any good ones
it all adds up
i think your best bet is to searchem on the wiki
post a screenshot of them
hang on to keycard for quest later
this should help some
I'd either trade the knives to peacekeeper or sell them
dont u need them for a quest
they're so easy to find
thats like a 1 raid thing while you're doin other stuff
not worth jamming up your inventory for 30 levels
you get minimum 1 knife per scav run
and probably like 4 if you tried
why wont bsg rework Delivery from the past?!?!!?! its so annoying going customs dying in factory and repeating 100 times over 😦
its not that hard
But esmarch treats deep bleeding
I’ve died a few times cuz I couldn’t treat heavy bleeding without the esmarch
The hard part of delivery from the past is customs imo
esmarch costs nothing
Factory is way easier than I used to think it would be
not when you lose 60% of the fights you get into and 75% of the games pop is thirsty for pvp 😦
Fair point
there's zero point wasting inv space on a 500 ruble item
True and I have standard edition so I’m always out of space
i go factory with a pistol and i survive like more than half of the time
if u want a shortcut just go 5 man factory
If only actually looting factory were as easy. It’s just scav bodies and some PMCs if you’re good
is there a trade chat or anything?
trading isn't promoted in server rules
