[jolly oasis]

I picked up a Weapon Safe Key at customs. Should I keep this? Discard? Take it back to the map?

[river flame]

Anyone know what direction I could go to get to it

WTF THE GAME CRASHED

[drifting jolt]

Dont worry, you werent anywhere near the convoy

[pure talon]

i love this community even more than i love this game

equally broken, but a bit funnier

[drifting jolt]

I love how people think we can just point them in the right direction on a map that is just full of trees lol

[pulsar eagle]

I fking loaded in and killing someone in the extract

they were loaded, but I couldn't loot anything

I wasn't even camping, I just got disconnected

[fast rivet]

https://tarkov-market.com/item/key_with_tape

[mighty shoal]

wait nah never seen it go for that price

[ancient falcon]

should you use binaural sound?

or is it broken?

in factory I was on the stairs looting and I only hear the guy's footstep just as he's in my view. Nothing before that at all

[placid wren]

Heyya, just bought the game yesterday, watched a guide video to have some idea what to do in this game. Guy said to use maps online to navigate and learn the maps. Now I have the customs map open but how the hell can I navigate myself, like I don't know where I Am on the map and such. Any pointers I can use?

[feral parcel]

Is this the USEC camp for prapor task?

[languid flare]

No, one sec @feral parcel

You had an old map

Top left, underneath Scav Bunker

[bold kernel]

yes thats the poo poo big bong chicken nugget lilo camp

[feral parcel]

The buildings and the environment around you

[languid flare]

Load into an Offline raid and go slowly thorugh the map, comparing buildings to marker on the map.

[feral parcel]

thanks, can you mark the camp in the new map?

[bold kernel]

ting tong lalalaal ahahahha bing boshna lol la ting mwa me mc chikcne boot gay saok

[bold kernel]

no you just cahon g sasdjksdk adsd hsa

[languid flare]

Like I said, underneath Scav Bunker top left, the 2 beige rectangles between the grey rocks.
To the east of it on the curvy road is the convoy btw

Drawing skills 11/10

[feral parcel]

great, thank you so much!

[bold kernel]

_ _

[fast rivet]

i mean, finding landmarks with your eyeholes and then looking on the map to see what corresponds with what you can see around you is a skill people have used for centuries..... certain people just mustn't have these skills i guess

[bold kernel]

[languid flare]

@feral parcel Watch out for signs with a 💀
Those are mines field past it

heloo?

[languid flare]

@bold kernel Stop spamming

[bold kernel]

_ _

can you see this mesage???

_ _

[ancient falcon]

you usually spawn on the opposite side of the extract you have to use or in the middle if you have extracts on both sides available

[bold kernel]

can anyone one see this????

[fast rivet]

jesus syrup shut the fuck up

[languid flare]

We can see you posting just spacebar, just stop spamming

[feral parcel]

How do i report someone in this server?

[bold kernel]

_ _

I Think my disc_ _

cord

[languid flare]

By making a Screenshot and sending a message to Mod mail or knowing a mod

[bold kernel]

is bugged

[feral parcel]

👍

[feral parcel]

👍

[ancient falcon]

anyone experienced a massive freeze and stutter you throw a nade?

I had one randomly in a gunfight

[languid flare]

Game generally has quite a few stutters/freezes due to its engine, but usually mostly cause of your hardware.

[errant estuary]

Does metabolism increase when I drink/eat outside of a raid?

[languid flare]

no

@errant estuary

[errant estuary]

Ah ok, thanks

[languid flare]

Only inraid and only if you actually are missing some energy/water

[bold kernel]

hi, how i drop a item ?

[languid flare]

Rightclick 'discard' or pressing the delete button while hovering over it @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

thanks

[languid flare]

Be careful not to delete something actually expensive by accident, as its completly gone when done in stash 🙂

[bold kernel]

;-;

rightclick is to drop on the floor

ok

thnks

[languid flare]

In stash: Delete
In raid: Drop

[bold kernel]

😯

ok

[languid flare]

Be careful around water.
You cant swim. Neither can your items

[bold kernel]

water is the problem auhsdsa

how i fix this ? 😭

i can split the in 12x ?

[barren sapphire]

is there some kind of up2date fps guide? had to reinstall and now the game runs horribly again

[scarlet forum]

how can i tell if shoreline pier boat extract is up or not? im next to the boats but cant extract

[languid flare]

@scarlet forum

30min ago 😛

[scarlet forum]

ty

im hiding there so i didnt want to search

i refuse to believe that im crouching in a house the whole time, dont move my mouse an inch, so i dont make any noise, and a guy comes and just one taps me

[granite bronze]

What gun would people recommend for factory? only lvl 5 so preferably one that can be bought from vendors.

[north cradle]

@granite bronze mk-18 with magnum ap is good

[drifting jolt]

there is no recommended guns.. it's all what you enjoy

but shotguns are a good choice for smaller areas

[north cradle]

@drifting jolt there is actually

@drifting jolt wanna see you play with a pm pistol against mk-18

[drifting jolt]

It's what you want to play with AND what ammo you can afford/have

if he's only level 5

[north cradle]

its cheap

[tender ridge]

how do you get a mk18 at level 5

[drifting jolt]

find it

on a body or in a cache

[tender ridge]

so you can't reliably run one

[north cradle]

@tender ridge its easy just prapor level 5 or skiers 21 mission

[tender ridge]

at... level 5?

[north cradle]

yea

its easy done in like 3 days

[drifting jolt]

For skilled players they can get to level 10 in just a few hours

[tender ridge]

I feel like you'd have leveled up a bit past 5 by then

[drifting jolt]

I got to level 10 in about 6 or 7 hours of gameplay, but this is only my 2nd wipe

[north cradle]

just get the cheap ap ammo for mk 18

[tender ridge]

mk 18 is sold by jaeger at ll4, according to the wiki

[north cradle]

nah

its old

new whipe new rules

[gaunt finch]

Is this a good budget adar setup?

[drifting jolt]

the scope isnt that great

but it'll work

the scope isnt terrible, it's just not great... but fora budget gun it'll work

[gaunt finch]

okay
so im assuming open areas like shoreline is nice yeah?

and the red dot for close engagements

[drifting jolt]

yeah, you want mainly medium+ range engagements with that

[gaunt finch]

What about character gear?

Should I get better earpiece/helmet/body armor?

[stiff spoke]

FOR ANYONE getting annoyed with the damn OUT OF ORDER voice channels!
USE CTRL + K and search ANY voice channel in your server lists WITH the ! PREFIX
so for EXAMPLE: !2 Man 3

[tender ridge]

gssh sounds kinda weird imo

I almost prefer not using a headset at all over it

[drifting jolt]

gssh are not great, any other headset would be better

[gaunt finch]

cheapest i can find for noobie 😛

[drifting jolt]

they sound weird to me too

[tender ridge]

it sounds crunchy

[gaunt finch]

they dont sound weird to me
probably cause i haven't used anything else

[drifting jolt]

I almost prefer it with no headset vs gssh

[gaunt finch]

it does sound crispy though

[drifting jolt]

just wear run around in your hideout

and take your GSSHs off and run around more

that's how you can test them

[tender ridge]

you start with two razers and a taccom or whatever, though, don't you?

[gaunt finch]

sold everything

i sold everything i didnt feel comfortable using

so expensive stuff out the window

[mortal dagger]

is 10mins queue time normal?

[gaunt finch]

Also just testing it out
comtac vs gssh doesnt sound too different

[tender ridge]

try walking through a bush

[drifting jolt]

what map? some times there can be a longer wait time randomly, you could back out and just try again

it'll most likely find a game faster

[mortal dagger]

custom sea server ok i'll do that

[drifting jolt]

I dont know how busy those servers typically are... Could be a lack of overall players issue? but just try again and see if that helps first

[gaunt finch]

Wait wait wait
what about armor
press 3 + 2 bleach barter is good enough?

or can I get smth better?

[drifting jolt]

press 3 is fine...

be less worried about your kits

and more worried about being successful in gun fights

a decent kit isnt going to save if you have little experience in gun fights

[gaunt finch]

I c :/

just dont feel like bringing out a p decked out weapon (for my standards) with some low-end gear

[drifting jolt]

Experience is worth more than good kits

I like going in undergeared all the time and killing something for better shit to wear

but that's just me

[tender ridge]

I realized that I'll never realistically win a fight against a player, and scavs are easy to kill so I've just been running into customs with a pm and hoping I find a backpack

[drifting jolt]

Why will you never win?

[tender ridge]

I still die a lot, but at least it's cheap

[drifting jolt]

how long have you played for?

[tender ridge]

like
five hours or something

hm
maybe 10?

not a lot, anyways

[drifting jolt]

lol, well that's barely enough time to learn anything... youll kill PMCs soon enough

[tender ridge]

I've killed a pmc
once

with a lucky headshot from my handgun

I looted all his stuff and proceeded to die thirty seconds later to another PMC because I ran into a grenade

[gaunt finch]

Okay, got some sordins
sordins are good right
doesnt make my running and walking sounds loud

[tender ridge]

isn't the point to make running and walking sounds loud?

[drifting jolt]

@gaunt finch Remember, the gun doesnt do any damage, it's the bullet... so even if you take a nice gun in, if youre not using decent bullets then youre not going to be as successful

[gaunt finch]

Oh
what some good ammo for adar then?
m855 is what i got rn

[drifting jolt]

@gaunt finch Sordins are great, very bassy so you can hear foodsteps from a ways out

[frozen sundial]

@gaunt finch and for earpieces its basically preference

[drifting jolt]

@gaunt finch https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Pp8tKScb0jB66cOCJSAlNn-iKERMXd9FVkSmSq83qn8/edit

[frozen sundial]

try every earpiece out and see what u like best

[gaunt finch]

I tried out sordins vs comtacs vs gssh
gssh make me paranoid 24/7
comtacs is less worse
sordins is nice

[frozen sundial]

i like gssh but hate it when i walk past bushes makes my ear bleed

[drifting jolt]

gssh suck... comtacs are better than tactical sports, but razorz and sordins are best imo

It also depends on your IRLs headset's EQ

[frozen sundial]

i run sordins when interchange gssh when labs or customs

[gaunt finch]

@drifting jolt
m855 is fine right
m855a1 is too expensive for me rn

dont wanna be spending 30+k for 1 mag

[frozen sundial]

@gaunt finch as long as ur hitting headshots m855 should be fine

[tender ridge]

isn't anything fine as long as you're hitting headshots

[gaunt finch]

I'm trash at the game

im like lvl 13 rn lol

i'm too scared to engage a guy from far away since im not sure if i can penetrate their armor half the time or be confident enough to hit the shot

i hide when i hear people running esp when near my loot route

besides, shouldnt i not be engaging people from close range with adar?

[frozen sundial]

Not really some ammo wont pierce helmet unless u head eyes/jaws

[proud stream]

the ammo you use is way more important then the gun you use

[barren sapphire]

as a scav, do i also have to wait 10 minutes to not get runthrough?

[bold kernel]

M855 pens fine up to class 4 though

[barren sapphire]

or can i leave immediately?

[proud stream]

no

scavs always count as survived

[frozen sundial]

As long as the map time is past 10 mins

[barren sapphire]

cause I spawned with a GasAn and wanna leave ASAP

[bold kernel]

Yeah just leave

[proud stream]

yea but its rare to spawn in so early

[frozen sundial]

Happens alot depends on the map tho

[proud stream]

and on maps like interchange it almost never happens

and that is the map i recommend for scav runs

[barren dirge]

hey guys
i have a question
are there extracts possible in spots that are not shown when i press "O+O" ?

[frozen sundial]

No

U cant extract if its not in the list

[knotty creek]

good morning yall

[proud stream]

good noon to you xD

[knotty creek]

the grind continues

[frozen sundial]

For example spawning in trailer park in customs Trailer park and crossroads wont be available

[barren dirge]

cause i was on woods
one extract needed money
one needed a scav player wth me (lol wtf is that)
so the third one was the only one possible?

[jagged fulcrum]

anyone for scav runs?

[proud stream]

customs extracts are easy

always the opposite site from where you spawn

[knotty creek]

well yes. if you spawned on one side there is always at least one permanently open spawn on the opposite side.

[bold kernel]

Which is also what makes customs so annoying, since you have to pass chokepoints that often contain other players.

[knotty creek]

you increase your spawns with bringing cash in or with keys

[frozen sundial]

U need to know timings

[proud stream]

that is why i dont like that all the early quests are on it

pretty bad for beginners

[bold kernel]

@proud stream Yeah the early quests are a hassle :(

[proud stream]

you have to avoid all the rashala spawns if you want to avoid fights

[drifting jolt]

Reshala but yes 🙂

[proud stream]

sry german took over xD

[frozen sundial]

I need to hunt reshala for blackrig task

[proud stream]

i killed him a few times now with my mate

the pmcs that come after that are the annoying part

[short hare]

I really don't get why if I shot someone 10 bullets with an ak he doesn't die

[proud stream]

good armor probably

what ammo did you use

[short hare]

BT

[bold kernel]

Also remember that you only die if your head/torso hp reaches 0

[short hare]

feels like I can't kill anyone in this game

[proud stream]

the head can reach 0 and you still live

[short hare]

no one dies

[bold kernel]

It's quite difficult to kill people, but you get the hang of it eventually

[proud stream]

headshots kill most of the time

[short hare]

if I take fights I lose

[proud stream]

but you need the ammo to be able to penetrate his armor

[bold kernel]

ngl in the beginning - fight mostly scavs to get used to it

[short hare]

I did kill scavs

[bold kernel]

BT is a good ammo type so unless they had really high tier armor it should pen

[short hare]

let me show u the gif 1 sec

[proud stream]

yea bt is in the middle

not sure if it pens tier 4

[bold kernel]

If the ballistics chart on the wiki is up to date it should pen most often

[proud stream]

yea that guy was pretty low after the fight

[bold kernel]

Ye, you probably hit legs/arms for a bit of that

The damage from leg/arm hits spread out once the limb reaches 0 hp

[proud stream]

but isnt it only 1/7 of the damage?

per body part

[bold kernel]

Yeah was about to say that it spreads out over the whole body so it's not all of the damage on torso/head

[short hare]

I just can't seem to do anything as a pmc

[bold kernel]

But legshots/armshots is a legit tactic if you have high flesh damage (RIP, Pst gzh etc)

[proud stream]

yea vector with rip

one mag and he is dead

[short hare]

https://gph.is/g/4MKgMYr

[bold kernel]

Zero - how many runs have you got so far?

[proud stream]

lul

he was wearing good stuff

[short hare]

Idk I usually don't play pmc and just wait for my scav

[gloomy glade]

ive been running night runs with my PMC

seems a lot more quiet

[tender ridge]

yeah, but you're also blind

[bold kernel]

Night runs are a lot quieter for sure

[gloomy glade]

nah if you get your bearings its easy to traverse

[proud stream]

night run with a shotgun that has a flashlight

time to blind those nvg users

[gloomy glade]

not great visibility but easy for poppiing scavs

[short hare]

i played like 7 pmc runs

i think something like that

[bold kernel]

I'm not an expert or anything but those numbers look normal

[gaunt finch]

Is this loadout good enough for some regular casual runs in shoreline
just going through loot routes, shooting players if I see em (and confident enough)

[bold kernel]

It's difficult to get high survival numbers and high kill numbers

[short hare]

i win most of my scav runs cuz I don't fight anyone who isn't a scav

[proud stream]

i would rather not use the scope but thats my taste

[gaunt finch]

y tho

for long range/close quarters

[maiden sand]

please, please for the love of all that is holy someone teach me how to kill three pmcs with only a pistol on factory I physically can't I'm crying

[gaunt finch]

cheapest i can find

[proud stream]

it is to chunky for the range the adar is good at

[gaunt finch]

play like cod
thats how i did mine

[tender ridge]

just do that as pmc?

[maiden sand]

@gaunt finch What gun did you use?

[gaunt finch]

tt + fmj ammo

[maiden sand]

thank you

where did u buy fmj

does one sell it or from flea?

[gaunt finch]

i bought everything from prapor

[maiden sand]

thank u

[frozen sundial]

Just use glock with ap 6.3

[short hare]

I can't, everytime another pmc comes and kills me , or I get into 1v2 or 1v3

[maiden sand]

hrm I think I can play it like cod

but god it is impossible

[gaunt finch]

just run around
just 8k for the gun

[frozen sundial]

Hard yes impossibe no

[bold kernel]

That quest is the wooorst. But yeah I went with cheap gun and pst gzh and just went over and over.

[solar imp]

One thing I do before I play is do a practice round on Factory with just a pistol, offline, high scavs. practice my aiming. Maybe that may help?

[maiden sand]

parpar doesn't sell fmj for the tt

[frozen sundial]

just run it till u finish it

[gaunt finch]

just checked

its fmj43

sorry

[frozen sundial]

Use glock from mechanic 1 @maiden sand coz it vot 17 bullets more bullets to spam

[upbeat elk]

Not having luck in lfg, so ill try here, sorry.

lf EU duo/trio to do some early game missions. Lvl 8, new player with tons of other fps experience

[maiden sand]

vot?

[frozen sundial]

Got*

[gaunt finch]

@maiden sand you only need 8 bullets with TT
most of the time you use it close quarters anyway
you either die or you dont

[maiden sand]

yea but that's a lot of money n I'm poor

where do I buy the fmj tho

[gaunt finch]

fmj43 + tt mag + tt all at prapor

[short hare]

wtf lmao

[maiden sand]

ooooh

I see it

[short hare]

do people really do that ??

[maiden sand]

thank uuu

[frozen sundial]

Camping?

[gaunt finch]

Should I run a tri zip or just reg scav backpack

[rain steeple]

Imagine getting getting salty over someone camping in a game that promotes slow and toughtful gameplay

[frozen sundial]

depends on whats ur plan in raid

[gaunt finch]

just do safe loot route in shoreline
adar just to defend myself

[proud stream]

scav backpack

[short hare]

I wasn't even camping like I spawned in and heard him coming like I camped for what 5 seconds?

[solar imp]

In Tarkov? No... lol

[frozen sundial]

@gaunt finch scav backpack

[gaunt finch]

cool

[frozen sundial]

Trizip not cost efficient for a stash run

[solar imp]

I found if you stop moving you get accused of camping.

[gaunt finch]

lol
I dont even do stash runs

I just hit up village and areas near it

[short hare]

funny thing he is that I didn't even kill him

[gaunt finch]

only stashes I know there are the ones by a dumpster and one at construction

[drifting jolt]

cache runs are best for $

specifically on interchange

[proud stream]

yea but everyone does them now

[frozen sundial]

If u hear movement first thing u do is stop idk what that guy is on about lmao

[proud stream]

just salty he died

[frozen sundial]

Yes i hope wveryone i queue with in interchange go stash

[solar imp]

He didnt die though

[proud stream]

so you can run tech?

[short hare]

he killed me and still did that lol

[proud stream]

lol

[frozen sundial]

I hunt killa

[short hare]

some people are losers

[proud stream]

that poor man

[frozen sundial]

14/100

[proud stream]

constantly gets killed by players

[frozen sundial]

Vector with ap

Brrrttt

[proud stream]

i guess i am the one that comes after you killed him xD

[frozen sundial]

Idk about the loot

Idc*

[proud stream]

i know

[frozen sundial]

Just need that killa kills

[proud stream]

so many just dont loot him

because they only want the kill

[frozen sundial]

I only loot pockets sometimes armor

[proud stream]

yea pockets for that juicy THICC case

so stupid that it can spawn in there

[frozen sundial]

Dont mind the salt lmao

[frozen sundial]

Can spawn but cant be looted lmao

That bug from landmark funny asf

[proud stream]

yea landmark was funny

laughed my ass of

[frozen sundial]

Killa was just crouched

No wonder he has a thicc case

[proud stream]

i would be pissed

that is almost torture

[maiden sand]

hrmph

I managed to kill a scav

but not pmc

I sad sad

[frozen sundial]

Bro lmao

run n gun faxtory

[maiden sand]

yea I tried!

but I jsut run into scavs

[frozen sundial]

U got this

[maiden sand]

not pmcs

they all hide

hrmph

[proud stream]

most players are dead before i can kill them

[maiden sand]

^^^

yea

[frozen sundial]

there are harder missions than that so dont lose hope lmao

[maiden sand]

there were three dead pmcs

I just killed a scav and left

[proud stream]

cause they get headshoted by shotgun scavs

[frozen sundial]

Kill 12 pmc headshot 100m

[maiden sand]

I-

cries

[proud stream]

still have to do that

[frozen sundial]

Kill 15 pmc while wearing scav vest ushanka and using a shotgun

[proud stream]

100 times killa

[frozen sundial]

Kill 10 pmc with shotgun

Silenced

[proud stream]

ok that on is not so bad i think

shotguns right now are kinda broken

[frozen sundial]

Doable but pain in the ass since shotgun supressor is 70-100k

[proud stream]

true

[frozen sundial]

So if u die every 1 kill ull spent atleast 1m on gear lmao

[proud stream]

yea i am doing marked room runs right now

and man

i cry every time i die

ap 6.3 is expensive, even more so when the gun goes brrrrrt

[frozen sundial]

U dont have peacekeeper 3?

[proud stream]

almost

not in the mood for quests cause i always run into killa gear players

you dont see shit with that helmet

[hushed holly]

HEY

Woops caps

someones body just dissapeared after i killed them

was looting and it just poofed out of existence

is that a bug or a cheat?

[proud stream]

its a known bug

happend to me too

[hushed holly]

Awh man

was probably my best kill and loot ever

:(

Thats sad

[proud stream]

lmao ahhahahah

yea vector is a nice gun

[frozen sundial]

100k gun

Shredder

[proud stream]

i am using the mp5 right now

[frozen sundial]

I use that before i got good money

[proud stream]

yea mine is 79k

[frozen sundial]

mp5? @proud stream

[proud stream]

fully modded

[frozen sundial]

Mp5 is good as it is no sights etc

Just need a 30 round mag

[proud stream]

i counted in my mags

[frozen sundial]

Its iron sights r the best

[proud stream]

yea i still dont like iron sights

[gaunt finch]

Is a KAC silencer even good on an adar

I know it makes it quiet but
doesnt it have huge drop on ergo

and wouldnt quiet make you get sought out by higher geared players (might be overthinking)

[proud stream]

every silencer has a drop in ergo

[onyx rose]

What does ergo do on guns?

[proud stream]

turning speed

[onyx rose]

Ahh so like weight?

[proud stream]

yea kinda

[onyx rose]

Ahh okay okay, ty

[proud stream]

and you get stuck on walls more easy

[gaunt finch]

wait
doesnt ergo also help with recoil

[frozen sundial]

Lomger hold breath faster ads

[maiden sand]

hehehe I killed one scav with meh pistol and everytime I do I make like 50-100k if I sell the gunparts right

I am happy

[proud stream]

yea i forgot that

[frozen sundial]

Gj bro ez asf @maiden sand

[onyx rose]

Ahh okay

[maiden sand]

now I just have to murder actual people

[proud stream]

do you dissemble the gun completely

[maiden sand]

me is v tempted to be a v bad bad person in factory to do this

ofc!

and sell each part

[proud stream]

there is no point in doing that

[maiden sand]

especially the valuable ones

[proud stream]

they changed that

[maiden sand]

yea there is on the flea???

bro I made like an extra 30k

[proud stream]

ahh

[maiden sand]

by selling stalk and scope

wtf

[proud stream]

i thought you mean mechanic

mb

for flea it makes sense

[maiden sand]

ofc silly

ALSO

sad pog I died

once again I buy dinky pistol

stupid shotgun scav

[proud stream]

shotgun scav = aim god

100% headshot rate

[maiden sand]

I swear

smh

[proud stream]

i am more scared of scavs sometime

[maiden sand]

I should have aimed a lil higher

I'd have tapped him

but I got spooked cuz he ran around me

[upbeat elk]

Anyone knows how often Tarkov goes on sale?

[proud stream]

not sure, its always on sale around new years

but i already got eod so i dont really keep track

it will probably go on sale starting next wipe

[maiden sand]

SDIUFGHESRGIFLUV

THAT'S SO STUPID

I WAS MURDERING A PMC

AND A SCAV TEAMED UP WITH HIM AGAINST ME

BRO

I'M POUTING

STUPID SCAV HRMPH

[proud stream]

uff

i feel that in my bones

[maiden sand]

why didn't the scav shoot him not meiulsfrdehgfrgt

I-

[proud stream]

they only focus one person at a time

so he probably saw you first

[maiden sand]

I have to play it more patiently

wait for them to fight then attack

[proud stream]

yea 3rd party is easier

or at least most of the time

you could also toggle your inner pestily and just kill everyone

[maiden sand]

ah

but I am infact

very bad at this game

[proud stream]

i am too

got no aim

[frosty pollen]

Yo

[gloomy glade]

can i do the quest to find Jaeger with my scav?

[proud stream]

no

quest are all on pmc

[maiden sand]

aderiugfhvslerfgd

I HATE THIS QUEST

[proud stream]

try doing another one for a change of pace

and come back later

helps

[gaunt finch]

still doing factory quest?

[frosty pollen]

I just found green lab card in shturman, but there is any of them on flea market expect 3 barter offer. And fee is so high, what should I do with this card? Keep it?

[maiden sand]

I haven't even gotten one kill

but yes I am

[proud stream]

keep it

no point in selling it. it creates more money if you use it later

[frosty pollen]

Okay, thanks

[maiden sand]

@frosty pollen a few people are trading cases for that card too

[proud stream]

only ever sell a labs card if you have it already or you know you will never do labs

[short hare]

what's a good armor that I can buy from dealers?

paca armor?

[frosty pollen]

I have like 250hours and never been on labs maybe it's time to change it

[proud stream]

paca is good for protection against scavs

not so for players

[gaunt finch]

1,2mil is a nice number to sit on as a lvl 13 right?

I got 5000 dollars i wanna convert

whats the best way to convert 5000 dollars to rubles without losing much money

[short hare]

oh

which armor is good then

[proud stream]

put everything into your hideout

[short hare]

cuz I don't have flea market

[barren sapphire]

if youre new, dont worry about armor

[proud stream]

it is still good under lvl 10

[barren sapphire]

youll die anyways, a good armor wont save you

[gaunt finch]

eh..
i already spent a lot of money on water converter 1

then lavatory 2 to do ice cream cones

[maiden sand]

@gaunt finch level 13 dang lets go

[short hare]

ok lol

[proud stream]

i always push my hideout as far as i can

[short hare]

I got money to buy armor tho

[maiden sand]

do u wanna do quests together?

[short hare]

about 4 mil

[proud stream]

dont waste it

[agile forge]

If you have lav 2, then you can craft mag cases and scav junkboxes for profit

[barren sapphire]

grind your way to level 10 and spend that money on flea market upgrades @short hare

[proud stream]

you will need a shit ton of money later

[gaunt finch]

internet is bad at this time @maiden sand
just admiring my gear and pmc
looks good as hell
just hate losing it sometimes to packet loss

[gaunt finch]

whats the profit % vs other sources in lav 2

[proud stream]

yea losing to internet sucks

[barren sapphire]

sorry i mean hideout upgrades

[proud stream]

hideout costs more so keep it

[agile forge]

Mag cases are like 50k profit right now, junk boxes are ~400-500k

[barren sapphire]

is healing from pockets/rig actually faster, than healing from bagpack? except for the fact that you have to go into inventory and click on it, compared to hotkeying it. Is the actual animation faster?

[agile forge]

No

[rain steeple]

the animation is not faster, no

[barren sapphire]

allright

[short hare]

I run something like this

is this decent?

[proud stream]

you only save time by not having to click on it

get a second mag

otherwise reloading a mag with bullets is going to be annoying

[barren sapphire]

@short hare in my opinion the SKS is a better budget beginner weapon. It scales really well into the lategame and you dont need mags

[proud stream]

you dont reload with r if you dont have a extra mag

[gaunt finch]

dang not bad

[polar anvil]

or mosin

[short hare]

okay I got another mag

[short hare]

yeah but I got these weapons from my scav runs

[proud stream]

but yea sks is better

you save cost on the mag cause its internal

[barren sapphire]

id just dismantle and sell everything lol

[barren sapphire]

and still run sks

toooooo many weapons

[maiden sand]

holy heck bolts are so expensive

[barren sapphire]

sell that

dismantle and sell

[proud stream]

dont keep guns you wont use

dont dismantle if you sell to mechanic

[short hare]

really?

all of them?

[proud stream]

no point

[barren sapphire]

focus on one weapon to get good at, sell the rest

[gaunt finch]

i sell every gun I get other than some mosins/sniper like guns

rn I'm focusing on adar

[polar anvil]

save that 133 if u haven't dont the mechanic quest

[rain steeple]

You need like 27 bolts total for ur hideout, just get that many asap, then sell the surplus

[short hare]

even the vector?

[gaunt finch]

and I have a vector setup

when im srs

[proud stream]

you could keep the vector but right now its dead space

[barren sapphire]

having 1-2 backup weapons is fine, but you have waaaaaay too much space wasted in idle weapons

[gaunt finch]

2x2 is dead space?

[proud stream]

you cant buy the ammo you need to make it work

[short hare]

that's true

but I wanted to keep it till level 10

[proud stream]

if you dont use it yea

could have fit something else there

[barren sapphire]

all these weapons dont do anything for you when they just sit there. They just waste space. sell that shit

[gaunt finch]

like what
im poor as hell xd

[short hare]

[proud stream]

wait

[severe flame]

Don't sell the SA-58 and the VSS to mechanic, wait until you're lvl 10

[gaunt finch]

This is my backup setup
if all else fails and I somehow lose all my money

[proud stream]

dont sell the guns with attachments like laser pointers

[gaunt finch]

this is what I use

[barren sapphire]

@short hare unless youre selling to mechanic, id dismantle the weapons and sell the parts

[short hare]

why

[proud stream]

sights and laserpointers dont get counted by mechanic

[short hare]

oh

[severe flame]

What, they do lol

[proud stream]

i tried

and they didnt

[barren sapphire]

@short hare more money

[gaunt finch]

should i sell anything here

[proud stream]

he gave me the same money for the gun with the scope on and without

[drifting jolt]

tape measures, fuel conditioner, paper

[gaunt finch]

thats it?
i thuoght fcond can be used for smth

[drifting jolt]

almost everything has a barter, but not all of them are good

[agile forge]

Fcond is needed for quest I think

[severe flame]

It depends if he buys it or not

[proud stream]

he did buy it

but i dont know tarkov is wierd sometimes

[severe flame]

that is factually correct

[proud stream]

thats why i sell them apart

to make sure

[severe flame]

it doesn't work on this one

[drifting jolt]

not 4 of them though

[proud stream]

but completely taking apart the gun doesnt make sense anymore

[gaunt finch]

checked wiki
4 needed for some quest

[proud stream]

you sometimes get even less money out of it

[drifting jolt]

how for down the line? fcond isnt rare

[severe flame]

wot u doing mechmeme

[short hare]

how do i reload this weapon?

[drifting jolt]

manually

[proud stream]

he wants free gear

[severe flame]

Take the mosin std. from the gun

[proud stream]

take out the internal mag

[drifting jolt]

but you can drag the mag out of it and put bullets in the mag, and put hte mag back on the gun

[drifting jolt]

that's an sks not a mosin

[barren sapphire]

@short hare either manually in raid, or double klick it -> take out the magazine -> pull ammo into magazine -> magazine back into weapon

[short hare]

aight

[severe flame]

I'm blind lmaoo

same concept

[proud stream]

true

[short hare]

but is this single fire or no?

[proud stream]

single

[barren sapphire]

yeah

[short hare]

shieeet

[barren sapphire]

but its really really good

[proud stream]

dont run auto under lvl 10

[short hare]

if someone rushes me I'm dead

[drifting jolt]

well it shoots some of the better ammo for lower level players, but not really really good...

[languid flare]

The fact that it shows the same money is an update error
Mech pays more for guns with lasers etc, it just doesnt immediatly update

[gaunt finch]

auto with naked guns is bad right

[severe flame]

If anyone wants to learn interchange, hmu, bored and wouldn't mind

[languid flare]

If you go back to your inventory, change stuff and go back to trader it should change

[proud stream]

i went out of the selling menu when i did that

[gaunt finch]

you're at mercy of pmc recoil right

[severe flame]

Really depends on the items, he literally sometimes doesn't buy them but still takes the entire weapon

[languid flare]

Mech should buy all gun attachments, 100%

[proud stream]

doesnt he also pay less if the gun is unusable

[wraith agate]

Whats the best MAP to stack loot

and just sell

[severe flame]

Reserve and Interchange

[proud stream]

interchange

[wraith agate]

okok, ive never done reserve before lol

[short hare]

customs no?

[severe flame]

Customs sucks for loot

[languid flare]

Every map besides Factory, if you know where and how

[proud stream]

cause reserve has 20 minutes scav waiting time

[severe flame]

Only forced to get cucked in Customs because of the quests

[wraith agate]

interchange also good as a scav ?

[proud stream]

customs sucks

[severe flame]

Fuck yeah

[wraith agate]

alright noice

[severe flame]

A lot of people don't loot everything in interchange

[short hare]

shieet

[severe flame]

Easy dash in and get loot and skedaddle

[short hare]

then I gotta learn to play other maps than customs

lol

[wraith agate]

too much of a bish to go PMC interchange lel

[proud stream]

best for scav cause you dont have to wait for 20 minutes like reserve

[proud stream]

you can avoid players pretty easy

[severe flame]

Anyone want to learn interchange rn? kek

I'm bored

[wraith agate]

i've played it a couple of times before. But people hide like rats everywhere.

[barren sapphire]

customs is horrible for new players as all players get funnelled into a few chokepoints. It sucks that most beginner quests are on customs

[short hare]

yeah I'm down after this match

[proud stream]

avoid the tech stores

and killa spawn

[wraith agate]

oh , maybe they were tech stores

[gaunt finch]

I like customs
i just dont like spawning in west side of map

[wraith agate]

i gotta check th emap

[severe flame]

Played interchange hundreds of times by now

[wraith agate]

brb

[severe flame]

You'll learn where the rats hide

[proud stream]

try to stay at oli or idea that works for me

[wraith agate]

and youre able to fully loot

in one of those ?

[gaunt finch]

interchange looks scary
tons of places to get shot from
and tons of player scavs im thinking

[proud stream]

yea

[severe flame]

Definitely

[proud stream]

hideout stuff

like sand on a beach

[severe flame]

I just did an OLI run and got 400k in 8 minutes

[wraith agate]

damn

[severe flame]

Rush to extraction, rinse and repeat

[wraith agate]

im going atm as my PMC since scav is down

imma go cry

brb 5 min max LOL

[proud stream]

i scav on interchange and make 200k most of the time or more

[severe flame]

^^^

[severe flame]

If you need help learning that map, I don't mind guiding ya lol

[proud stream]

same

[gaunt finch]

i scav on customs/shoreline and bring back around 500k

[severe flame]

you're a meme if you tell me you make more than 200k in customs

[wraith agate]

Wouldve loved

[proud stream]

it is the least i get

[wraith agate]

BUT im NA

[severe flame]

Oh fuck, ye

F

[gaunt finch]

but its true 😦
not my fault nobody in singapore checks the warehouse next to pc truck
nor the warehouse near zb-1011

[barren sapphire]

@severe flame the few times he survives kek

[severe flame]

Maybe as a chad, yeah

[proud stream]

he can still screen share

[severe flame]

@wraith agate yo, get into a vc and screenshare if you want, I can tell you where to go for fat stacks

[proud stream]

try it in EU

xD

[gaunt finch]

sorry
game kicks me too much

and even now
lately its been kicking me to stupid packet loss

[proud stream]

yea because of high ping lock

to stop people from abusing it

[gaunt finch]

had to switch to oce with vpn just so my ping is low enough to go to singapore

now im wondering if i should do that again

[nocturne lynx]

lvl 7 new to the game, if anyone wants to grp up and help out

[proud stream]

telling others your region helps

[gaunt finch]

my ping was like
insane before using vpn

[nocturne lynx]

ooh NAE

[gaunt finch]

now that im in sing server
40+ ping compared to constant 150+ ping and kicks

[proud stream]

NAE has a better ping for me then some other eu servers lol

[wraith agate]

lol

[nocturne lynx]

Haha

[wraith agate]

wtf

[proud stream]

NAW on the other hand is like 200+

[wraith agate]

Im trying to put the NA tag on my name

[gaunt finch]

Its fine if the only loot route I hit in shoreline is the village west side right?

Like two caches, jackets, bags

I make like 500k each time

[nocturne lynx]

yea how do i put my region ?

[proud stream]

[nocturne lynx]

trying to get to the flea market is a rough path let me tell you

[wraith agate]

I've only hit 2 consistent maps

[proud stream]

i dont do quests enough

[shell sable]

41

[wraith agate]

wuuuuuuuuut

[severe flame]

so how does living in tarkov feel?

[wraith agate]

lmao

[proud stream]

i mean isnt the wipe going for 16 days now

so 40 is doable if you played tarkov enough already

[shell sable]

Pretty good ngl

[wraith agate]

Played in Factory yesterday, blew up a level 30 fully geared with my scav. he added me to trash talk me. My proudest moement yet

[severe flame]

Escaped yet with Therapist or did you betray her for daddy Skier?

[proud stream]

i killed enough 30-40+ players so i know for a fact lvl says nothing

[shell sable]

Thats what the game is all about

[wraith agate]

haha yeah. Too bad player items are not FiR lol

[nocturne lynx]

Anyone wanna grp up?

[proud stream]

lvl just means the person knows how to quest

[wraith agate]

He had soooo much shit

[proud stream]

and has no live xD

[severe flame]

I have to kill 39 31-50 players for the prophecy to unfold

[shell sable]

I ran away with daddy peacekeeper

[wraith agate]

honeslty if i did quests i would be around 20-30

[severe flame]

42 is the answer to everything

[proud stream]

it is

[wraith agate]

But im too lazy and theyre all in costums

[proud stream]

42 is the way

[wraith agate]

And i do not know costums

[proud stream]

i know the map

[short hare]

lemme check mine

[proud stream]

but that doesnt help

[wraith agate]

lmao

[proud stream]

players are camping the quest spots right now

[short hare]

[severe flame]

My deaths? customs

[wraith agate]

oh wow

another reason not to do them lol

[severe flame]

Run naked in customs and do quests.

[proud stream]

yea

[severe flame]

That's how I achieved it lmao

[wraith agate]

not a bad idea actuallt

[proud stream]

marker quest are done naked

[severe flame]

GETTING THERE

[wraith agate]

i gotta just find stuff

[shell sable]

Custom is the bain of my existence

[severe flame]

Ultra medical storage key is pretty much exhaustingly expensive now

wtf

[wraith agate]

lol

[proud stream]

yea

[severe flame]

4 mill, week ago it was 900k.

[wraith agate]

I sold a random Resort Shoreline key for 200k last night

people are crazy

aight, brb i gotta shit real bad

[proud stream]

a lot of new players are stuck at delivery from the past

[severe flame]

@short hare You EU?

[proper fox]

I mean if you use the keys its worth it in the long run

[short hare]

yep

[severe flame]

Good shit

[shell sable]

Feelsbadman

[severe flame]

Ready for interchange?

[short hare]

ye ye

[severe flame]

Really?

[proud stream]

my mate looted kiba key yesterday and thought it was worth 50k

[proper fox]

Like i bought the goshon cash register key awhile ago, was like 80k when i bought it, and 1 run i got my 80k back

[summer hinge]

someone to help me do the first tasks I am lvl 2

[severe flame]

2 Man Squad #13

[proper fox]

Since then ive made plenty more

[severe flame]

lmao, kiba 2 yes

[proud stream]

i got the marked key and got the worth back in 2 runs

[severe flame]

kiba 1 however..

[proud stream]

800k or something

he got out

but i told him not to sell it yet

[shell sable]

Found 3 keytools,1 money case in 4 custom raids

[proud stream]

got a med case and a dogtag case

[shell sable]

In a row

Feelsgoodman

[proud stream]

yea it does

but man running into 5 mans way to often at dorms right now

they dont even do marked room

they just camp it

[shell sable]

Still 36h until my bitcoin farm is lvl 3

Feelsbadman

[proud stream]

nice

[wraith agate]

aight, wish me luck yall. about to run naked in costums do quests lol

[proud stream]

i want to start running labs

but only hear bad stuff right now

[bronze void]

@wraith agate if you are goin naked go in the night, you have more chances of making it alive

[wraith agate]

wont see shit though

lol

i don't actuall yknow the map, so imma tab out every few secondes

[shell sable]

Labs is pretty good, and ez cash but theres people who play that map 24/7 like its factory and I get destroyed everytime. Wish i knew how to be a big brain on that map

[proud stream]

yea

and you cant learn the map using scavs

and 170k is still expensive

[bronze void]

@wraith agate there are less people going at night raids and if you up brightness you can see well enough

[proud stream]

not to mention that you dont get guns back

[wraith agate]

oh really

[wraith agate]

I will try right now actually thanks

[proud stream]

avoid dorms tho

[shell sable]

I know the map, but i dont know how to play it, when it first came out it wasnt locked behind a paywall so you could literally hatchet run it

[wraith agate]

100% planned that hahaha

[bronze void]

@wraith agate also download tarkov maps from app store on your phone so you can avoid alt tabing

[proud stream]

otherwise you run into people that got nv

[barren sapphire]

Wait what? Insurance doesnt work in night raids?

[wraith agate]

just gonna to 1 at a time

[proud stream]

labs

i was talking about labs

[barren sapphire]

ah

[wraith agate]

The extortionisst atm

[proud stream]

xD

i got 3 screens so no tabbing xD

feelsgoodman

[bronze void]

@wraith agate I have been trying to do this for 2 days, camped every time, wish you better luck

[proud stream]

yea EU is full of campers

[cinder hawk]

What's the best thing to buy and sell back to skier to level him up?

[wraith agate]

oh wow, not a good sign. ill see i guess lol

[stiff mortar]

can anybody help me with punisher part 1?, im not new but idk shoreline

[bold kernel]

I need help running woods to complete some missions, anyone wanna help?

[proud stream]

i really wish they would at region tags on this discord

if you want to get help running duos or stuff like that always tell the region

or put it in your name like i have

tarkov got some walls for ping abuse so you cant play with people on the other side of the world

i think it was 140ms

[upbeat elk]

lf EU duo/trio to do some early game missions (woods, customs). Lvl 8, new player with tons of other fps experience

[shell sable]

if i had under 60 ping on NA servers id play there everyday

[proud stream]

same

some of my mate i played with in the past are in NAW so i cant play with them anymore

[shell sable]

EU servers are garbage no matter the game

[proud stream]

yea because its a server for multiple countries

with completely different languages

[barren sapphire]

im jealous of americans who can just hop online in csgo and they always have a team full of english speakers

[shell sable]

Verry fun to join a 4 stack of russians or polish who doesnt understand English on csgo or valorant.

[proud stream]

most of the time they understand english

they just dont want to use it

[shell sable]

This

[barren sapphire]

here in EU you get drunk russians who can't speak english, french people who refuse to speak english, and germans who speak english like angry cavemen

[proud stream]

im german

and my english is fine xD

but yea

most germans have a wierd way of speaking english

[shell sable]

If this was reddit id give you gold

[upbeat elk]

If you stay at lower ranks in those games, then you mostly get those people. Ive really rarely came across people that dont know english.

[proud stream]

yea but tarkov doesnt have a rank system

so its going to be fun

voip coming soon xD

[upbeat elk]

A lot of times russians starting with "anyone russian here?" in their language, but after that its fine.

I mean, why would u even try matching with complete randoms in Tarkov 😄

[proud stream]

i get that some want to speak in a language they are comfortable with

[proud stream]

i did it often

cause most of my friends dont play tarkov

[shell sable]

How did that work out for you?

[proud stream]

mostly ok

i had some assholes

[upbeat elk]

In a game like tarkov where killing a friendly can gain you profit, i would never use the ingame matching system.

[proud stream]

i didnt use the ingame matching

but the discord

[shell sable]

Oh lol

[upbeat elk]

But thats a different thing.

[proud stream]

i would try the matching system

[shell sable]

Thought you ment the ingame thing

[upbeat elk]

You dont match up with complete randoms. You know that they understand english, their levels and so on.

[proud stream]

if ingame voice would be a thing

[upbeat elk]

I would never, lol. GL matching with all Polish team and then they backstab you.

[proud stream]

i dont think they have to be polish do backstab me but yea
