uneven sail

worldly vault
#

robust light
#

#

and evacs are easy because they are always the same for both scav and pmc

uneven sail

deep idol
#

how much do you get from selling bit coin to thps

robust light
#

deep idol
#

Ok

sand wolf
#

what would be the best mosin ammo (7.62x54R) to kill killa?

robust light
#

SNB for sur

sand wolf
#

are you sure? i thought 7n1 was better than snb

robust light
#

7n1 does more damage but less penetration

#

your probally gonna wanna headshot him and 7n1 wont go through the faceshield

sand wolf
#

say i do want to kill him with snb where would i aim?

robust light
#

snb will go through all his armor

#

but headshot would be best because i dont think youll manage to hit him enough in the body before he rushes you down

sand wolf
#

how many headshots in the faceshield do ya think it would be?

robust light
#

with snb one shot should kill him

sand wolf
#

alright, thanks for the info

robust light
#

no prob

uneven sail
#

nice !

#

you can get alot of gear running to extarct with scav and even sometime a labs key card !

void quartz
#

I can get gunsmith 3 to turn in why ?

robust light
#

i dont know actually

#

try a actual flashlight incase they changed it?

void quartz
#

I did

#

Does the mp5 have to be found in raid ?

robust light
#

luckily no

void quartz
#

Here is a better look maybe i got somthing wrong ?

robust light
#

i honestly do not know, it all looks right?

void quartz
#

I followed every guide on google and youtube..

robust light
#

try restarting the game?

void quartz
#

doing so now

robust light
#

like guides aside, it litterally meets all the requirments

void quartz
#

mother fuck dude restarting the game worked..

#

Holy hell...

robust light
#

hahaha ez pz

#

classic, have you tried turning it off and back onm

void quartz
#

i legit built this gun twice now XD

#

thanks so much brother !

robust light
#

no prob lol

hard arch
#

what's a good timeline to go into woods and getting my quest done for supply plans

#

i feel like a lot of people rush mill for the boss

robust light
#

what do you mean timeline?

hard arch
#

so i know at spawn a good amount of people head to mill to kill the boss

#

so i'm thinking like waiting till about 30 min left on clock to get in and get my stuff done for quest?

robust light
#

that should work, the cabin is on the outskirt of the mill so you could probally run in and get out easily enough even if people are nearby

hard arch
#

ye, last time i got the doc but got sniped on the way out but i did it a bit earlier in the map

#

so i figured i would wait till a bit later

robust light
#

probally not a bad idea, like you said alot of people rush mill to see if stickyman is there and if not dip

hard arch
#

gotcha

Do you lose maps if you die?

burnt grail
#

Veritas guitar pick you need for collector for kappa. If youre going for kappa keep it, if not sell.

#

Did they change the water filter unit so the water filter only gets used if its purifying water or did i level up a skilll or something for that?

ancient falcon
#

do scav teammates get different extracts?

bold kernel
#

yea

#

not all the time tho

hard arch
#

usually they have different, but often close by extracts

#

and every so often they can have the same ones

#

or have one extract in common with one being different

crude orbit
#

how 2 get a docs case

bold kernel
#

lf a experienced player to teach me or a noobie like me we can learn together

hard arch
#

@bold kernel i'm down to suck together if you want

bold kernel
#

ok

random estuary
#

hey does anyone know where scavs spawn in the beginning of customs?

bold kernel
#

many places

#

u should ussually loot until u are like dorms or gas station and look at the map or sum

crude orbit
random estuary
#

i have 4/5 and now i cant find any

bold kernel
#

@hard arch add me

crude orbit
#

it took me until level 12 to do that one b/c i hate customs lmfao

bold kernel
#

i am too

#

is it the 5 scav kills

random estuary
#

yea

crude orbit
#

i just killed rooftop scavs

bold kernel
#

im so bad so its hard for me lol

crude orbit

eager pulsar
#

I gotta kill 25 scavs on customs with the damn AKS-74U

#

bold kernel
#

jeez

crude orbit
#

oh yeah

random estuary
#

crude orbit
#

novel shore

novel shore
bold kernel

random estuary
bold kernel

random estuary
#

i dont have weapons and i cant afford any though

crude orbit
#

i wanna buy it but i'd need someone to show me where its at and how tf to profit from it cause im broke asf

novel shore
crude orbit
bold kernel
#

novel shore
#

yea its cheap but still, dont bother

bold kernel
#

i have one of those

crude orbit
#

my point is is that i have 600k and the key costs 599,999 lmao

#

it'd literally run me ddry

bold kernel
#

if i could sell it i would ๐Ÿ™‚

novel shore
#

and you wont survive a single raid cuz you dont have money for gear and you will be just a loot delivery guy to someone

bold kernel
#

im lvl 3 tho

crude orbit
#

is it found in raid?

bold kernel
#

yes

crude orbit
#

ah good, keep it to sell

bold kernel
#

i found

#

oops

#

nvm

crude orbit
#

is factory key worth keeping on hand? i cba with exit campers and i wanna go to the other exits

novel shore
#

if you play customs/factory then very much yes, it doesnt sell for much but is suuper useful

crude orbit
#

I had an rb-kprl key i found on a scav but i sold it for a mil, still second guessing me selling it because i probably could have used it for decent stuff considering its sale price

charred cloud
#

i have about 5mil in reserve keys i have not used yet. but i figured, i will eventually and then it will rake in the big bucks. so im keeping them in stash

then what about being cursed?

#

also i have a question how do i make more money with 4k roubles at level 8

random estuary
upper iron
novel shore
random estuary
#

looks like i have to learn interchange

upper iron
#

All you need to know is how to go underground and how to extract and that's it

#

:D

novel shore
#

well it really depends, i scav only on reserve and i can easly get even around mil a raid

random estuary
#

actually i know the checkpoint extract and hole in the wall

next onyx
#

Or use the OLI area of the map loot that up, extract, takes only a few minutes.

upper iron
next onyx
#

The Oli area of the map the green side, has a lot of mechanical parts in it.

upper iron
novel shore
next onyx
#

If you look a map up online it should be clearly labeled, it's pretty large

random estuary
#

well does anyone want to teach me interchange though?

#

yea i knew what you meant after you said it

#

especially that 1 mil run

upper iron
novel shore
#

lol cases and shore keys

random estuary
#

imagine not naming yourself in windows files

#

but fr though what's that run you do as a scav

novel shore
random estuary
#

bro?

novel shore
random estuary
#

I'm level 8

upper iron
#

Hard to see you making 1 mil a run with that stash but ye

random estuary
#

and idk raider spawns in interchange

upper iron
novel shore
upper iron
#

Reserve and Labs have raiders

novel shore
random estuary
#

why don't you show us you doing it?

man having no money sucks

upper iron
#

Thanks for the tips I guess :D

novel shore
#

lol yea like that

#

if you kill glukhar and his goons you get 1,5 mil EZ

#

(but doing that is super not ez lol)

upper iron
#

I do that regularly

#

):

novel shore
#

I still havent killed him a single time, started running reserve just this wipe

upper iron
#

I don't think people saying that 1mil a raid is very realistic as scav on reserve

random estuary
#

yep u do it just by killing raiders right?

upper iron
#

You either have to hit every jackpot for loot or honestly check EVERY single option out

crude orbit
random estuary
#

idk shoreline

crude orbit
#

best map

novel shore
random estuary
#

I have a weather safe key fob r shoreline

upper iron
random estuary
#

but I just don't know the map

upper iron
#

Sometimes it's reversed based on spawn and in a different order but I hit those and making 1 mil a raid without ratting around isn't as easy as it sounds :D

upper iron
novel shore
novel shore
#

tbh you could just buy a thicc item case or drop some money on shoreline keys, get ledx for quests and make some more money that way untill you hit that lvl 35

upper iron
#

I don't need one atm

novel shore
#

yea but you will need it for that thicc quest for (and if you dont have you also want one for the med station lvl3 )

buoyant anvil
#

so who wants to join up with total noob here, guess the dcs I had yesterday were due to super heavy load on our home network thanks to netflix

#

anyone wanna go interchange or customs to get me some loot?

delicate pasture
#

anyone want to help me start out? just restarted my account

vapid junco
#

LF someone who would hard carry me and show me reserve like if it was they're baby i got some keys but dunno where they go or how to extract

ornate zealot
#

Is anyone else not gaining skill exp?

#

I thought this was normal and skills just level up super slow, but crafting's been stuck at lv3 for 2 days, with all stations running around the clock, except when I sleep

#

I'm lv30 with over 240 raids, but skills are all really low compared to others

upper iron
#

You rat too much for your physical skills

ornate zealot
#

except I don't...

#

crafting shouldn't be level 3 in 2 weeks of running things either lol

upper iron
#

But what about your other skills

ornate zealot
#

my stats aren't super god awful

somber barn
ornate zealot
#

at an avg raid time of 7:22, tehre's no way I rat lol

upper iron
#

They ruin the game tbh

upper iron
#

You die fast I guess? Lol

ornate zealot
#

lol yeah, it was like 40s until I started doing jaeger and prapor's quests

upper iron
#

I can only tell you that strength and endurance level up by moving/being heavy D:

violet oxide
#

is anyone willing to teach me me interchange on reserve loot spawns, i am lvl 17 and got the game a month ago

#

au

somber barn
ornate zealot
#

@upper iron could you show me some phys stats + KM traveled?

#

I have 480 km traveled

upper iron
#

I am going to check if mine are higher :D but I only do a specific run on reserve and a bit of labs so mine might not be above yours even

ornate zealot
#

although I guess my endurance is moving up not awfully

eternal heath
#

does anyone know what handguard fits on the 406mm ar15 barrel?

somber barn
ornate zealot
#

but other slills just don't move

upper iron
tranquil peak
#

Hey, is it worth to sell the RM-MP21 key?

ornate zealot
#

I'm with meat on this one, it does suit the game setting, though I find it too boring lol

somber barn
upper iron
#

Where is k/m travelled

ornate zealot
#

overall -> looting

upper iron
#

Playing reserve only it's hard to find people 50% of the time ):

ornate zealot
#

better than mine LOL

#

but how'd you rack up 951 hours lol

#

is that afk

somber barn
#

damn

upper iron
#

No I played about 500 hours 2 wipes ago and that was it

somber barn
#

you got longer life then what ingame raids go to

upper iron
#

I played 30 hours of last wipe

somber barn
#

you stay after the fact

upper iron
#

and I played about 150? 200 hours this wipe =D

#

But I do spend a lot of time afk so I'd say 100 hours are afk hours :X

ornate zealot
#

oh ok makes sense

upper iron
ornate zealot
#

yeah idk how it gave you 55min average lol

vapid junco
upper iron
#

Idk how it works that avg out =D Reserve isn't even close to being 55 mins so

#

and last raid I got clapped about 5 mins in fighting gluhar and the boys that seemed to be cracked out

silver hornet
#

the time average makes no sense

median edge
#

are there any promocodes i want to upgrade to edge of the darkness edition

upper iron
#

Yes because sometimes it'll say like 1 min 30 seconds and other times it'll say like 1 hour lol

silver hornet
#

your best bet is to wait for February 23rd

ornate zealot
#

what's feb 23?

median edge
upper iron
#

Probably a sale

silver hornet
#

Defender of the Fatherland Day, they did a sale on that day last year.

ornate zealot
#

How patriarchal

silver hornet
#

I think it's the day the Russian Civil War ended

median edge
silver hornet
#

they usually never go above 20-25% for individual purchases

median edge
#

i kinda want to upgrade now

ornate zealot
#

struggling with inventory space and sweaty grinds for epsilon are the most fun part of first wipe though D:

median edge
#

but it costs me 100$ since 22% vat in my country

silver hornet
#

afaik promocodes don't exist outside of gifted copies of the game that the devs occasionally hand out for events.

upper iron
#

Tarkov is a good game, but not worth that full price imo =D

lean whale
#

can anyone tell me what is the use of golden skull ?

silver hornet
#

you need it for a hideout upgrade

ornate zealot
#

scav case @lean whale

silver hornet
#

it's also used for a couple of barter trades

tardy sun
#

is having all traders at or very close to level 2, at level 17 good progress?

upper iron
#

Man I need to start doing Jaeger quests now ):

ornate zealot
#

say bye bye to kda and SR for a while :)

lean whale
#

I have 2 and im lvl10 so should i sell them or keep them

ornate zealot
#

well you actually use shotguns so maybe you'll fair better lol

upper iron
#

I only use the KS for shotguns :D

#

Wait

ornate zealot
#

I'm still stuck on the 12 gauge headshot quest

#

spawn in the middle of shoreline woods, holding a shotgun, wearing UN TAR armour, while using no meds

#

or some stupid shit

upper iron
#

Haven't even finished his first ones =] woods is a boring map for me

ornate zealot
#

I have no idea how to play reserve so you got that going lol

#

all the other maps I'm fine wiht

median edge
#

it's 100 eur to upgrade to EOD for me

upper iron

Reserve took me quite a while to get to grips to

thin sundial
#

Altyn kekW

ornate zealot
#

I always sell the defenders to vendor

#

they basically pay same as market price

thin sundial
#

damn im jealous

upper iron
#

I bought it for 90k so I will use it

#

90k for a c5 even if it weighs 13.5kg is nothing. I will use it for my fun run on Reserve with KS :D

thin sundial
#

welp off to do an interchange quest which ill definitely die doing, wish me luck

upper iron

Enjoy

ornate zealot

hope you find lots of tetris

My best run so far has been a Tetriz + AESA when it was 1.8mil =D

I need some screws for hemostatic for the salewas for the Doctor and 2 MP133โ€™s for Prepor

real birch
#

Okay people, how did y'all manage to save for 3.5 mil rubles for stash upgrade?

#

I can't bring myself to save that much cause other hideout options + gear

eager sigil
#

Itโ€™s not worth it to be honest

#

Just stack backpacks and put stuff in every container, think about what stuff you gotta keep and what can go

tawdry pollen
#

I wish i was kidding

real birch
#

I wanna buy EOD, what should I know? In raid atm

tawdry pollen
#

i made 120 dollars in 2 days off doordash

#

lmao

#

it gives you a 3x3 secure container

#

max stash size

#

trader rep

#

and additional shit at beginning of wipe

normal gorge
#

@real birch biggest stash, some extra gear and Gamma container which is 3x3. Also your name is highlighted golden with a crown next to it

tawdry pollen
#

but if you wanna make money in tarkov just go to interchange and loot tech rooms

#

or make friends with some good players and run labs with them

#

if you can't do that just bring a backpack and a shotgun and loot stashes

eager sigil
#

Anyone down for a scav run?

i felt like i was right there but couldn't see it

#

oh makes sense because it's underground lmao

grim oak
#

I can't find any scavs on customs

#

I found more PMC's

#

Than scavs.

#

Pretty sure my 2 scav kills on customs are lower than my PMC kills on customs rn

fickle wraith
#

theres pretty much no scavs on the red building side of customs

#

so cross over to ruaf roadblock and go near construction and the new part of customs and there youll find scavs

what the point of joining as a group when they just shoot you on spawn...are there no in game comms? if not..that sucks hard and i feel its ยฃ40 down the shitter.

thin sundial
#

play in the discord LFG

#

yes tarkovs lfg is just people looking to spawnkill you, that how you survive in mother russia

can someone with peacekeeper lvl 2 pm me

bold kernel
raven gazelle
#

so get friends

bold kernel
#

the real solution is to find people you can trust eventually through discord, and dont join random game invites pretty much ever

#

yeah, find trustworthy people

raven gazelle
#

thats why i said play with friends

bold kernel
#

they dont have to be your best man at your wedding, just enough so they dont shoot you in the back

#

tip: be careful of anyone who mentions they need pmc kills

raven gazelle
#

but if u go as a group then pmc kills dont count

bold kernel
#

they'll lure you to the spots and kill you just for your tags

#

@analog crag Why are you grouping with randoms who you do not trust in a game where you are nothing more than a lootbox with legs to people who aren't your friends

#

devil's advocate, none of my real friends play this game, way too hardcore

#

so yeah, its tough finding people

#

and the current system needs work imo

#

Solo is genuinely easier

#

Less confusion, more freedom

#

for some tasks yeah

#

but eventually there's a wall for solo

#

Just embrace your inner vietcong

#

There is no tactic too scummy

#

where you'll invest 10x resources and time for something that can be done very easily with a group

#

i guess that's just the design though ๐Ÿคท

raven gazelle
#

cos last wipe i got kappa almost completely solo

bold kernel
#

huge increase in difficulty on interchange and reserves

#

yeah im not saying its impossible

raven gazelle
#

ah ok

bold kernel
#

but for newer players its rough

#

like myself, this is my first wipe, evel 28 ~250 hours

#

fun game btw

#

Yeah nah

#

Reserves, budget shotgun, target the legs

#

Be a rat

#

Hide near trainyard/bunkers

#

If you hear fighting, let them go for a bit then swoop in and be a vulture

#

Pop them while they loot or heal or just ambush

#

Legs are unarmored

#

interchange is tougher for me than reserve right now

#

Doesn't even matter if you die occasionally, one good run well more than pays for your kit

#

interchange is just group ater group after group

#

feels like im the only solo on the map

#

Tbh I refuse to do interchange unless I am absolutely required to

#

I hate that map

#

lol

#

yea

#

When it first got added the performance on it was so awful on my machine I'd load in 20 minutes late

#

it took me like 8 raids to finish big sale

#

was just going in pistol towards the end

#

are gpus really this rare ?

#

ive never seen one ever in raid

#

You need to search certain areas

#

If you search them, they're somewhat uncommon

#

If not, you will never find them

#

yeah, they're on like interchange tech stores and high tier rooms

#

Reserve has a few spots with really solid high tier computer stuff

#

do u pref interchange or tech room

#

Fuck interchange with a pole

#

Reserve is where the homies go

#

should i run reserve w/o backpack and cheese tech room for my 3 gpus ?

#

for the quest

#

is that quest even worth doing right now

#

seems like a waste with gpus being so expsneive and noones bitcoin farm is maxed out yet

#

dont i need it for quest progression

#

If you want to get quests done

#

Then yes

#

Just naked run the room and shove GPUs up your ass

#

and im kinda broke

#

If you want to also potentially dab on some people, bring a budget shotgun

#

Even a 133 with some buck can seriously get you loot

#

my 133 runs are kinda cursed

#

Most people do not have faceshields and buck to the face will still flatten your head like nothing

#

i only run into squads lmao

#

Failing that, legs

#

Grab some nades tbh

#

They're cheap and good to train Str with anyway

#

yeah i love running nades

#

I was mad as hell yesterday at the speed of progression

#

tech room is in the building infront of the heli right ?

#

But now I have fully embraced the life of fuck it, I will budget run reserve and just dab on kids

#

Yeah

#

Up the ramp thing

#

In the room

#

Past the sandbags

#

First door on right

#

Jump out rightmost window, go in floor below

#

Slurp

#

i lost a run with a money case trooper armor gen4 altyn decked rpk decked ak to rain

#

yesterday

#

๐Ÿ˜Ž

#

lost altyn + tier 6 armor to a scav 2 days ago

#

not found in raid so its whatever but that did not feel good

#

buckshot or magnum buck

#

magnum buck right

#

i dont know i hit next so quick

#

haha

#

i do know play scav though

#

Eh

#

Buck is enough

#

Even one pellet is enough to [head, eyes] someone

#

And it'll still delete legs if you hit them solid

#

just a-20

#

ap-20

#

why not

tame kayak
#

yo anyone wanna help me with bunker pt 2

bold kernel
#

what i'd do is top load a few rounds of ap-20

#

as in case

#

ap 20 is a slug no?

#

AP-20 is great

#

If you have access to the flea

#

ap-20 is amazing

#

And some cash

#

im lvl 21

#

but im broke rn

#

i pvpd for like 15 lvls

#

i think its only like 800 rubles ea

#

iirc

#

Then yes by all means run Ap-20 if you've got decent accuracy

#

But if you just wanna meme on people and still get loot

#

Run some buck or the 7mm buck

#

id rather meme on people

#

for the fun

#

lmao

#

Or if you REALLY want to just mess with people

#

Get flechettes and test those out

#

i never ran those

#

flechettes to the leg ?

#

Only barely less AP than slugs, and they won't one-pellet to the head

#

no 1-shot is no go for me

#

But if two hit the head on anything class 3, dead

#

Well

#

It fires eight per shot

#

So

#

oh

#

ye

#

tru

#

Like

#

i get what you mean

#

making that gpu money

#

To the chest, it may well take two shots

#

FUCK

#

i forgot to put on my rig

#

what a disaster

#

But a solid whack to the head will rip that shit off up to potentially L4

#

rigs are for chads, embrace your inner rat and make do with 4 slots

#

i have docs on me

#

fml

#

if theres more than 1 gpu

#

im dropping docs

#

nvm i cant i have marked key in there

#

what a disaster

#

customs is getting boring wanted to play reserve for a while but the extracts are intimidating

#

do peacekeeper quests on shoreline

#

lol eazy

grim oak
#

Is crack a good place to go? I found a cms there once but nothing good other than that. I just went there for a Salewa but for that

#

Got that

#

It was unlooked about 20 mins into raid

#

Nobody was there and the scavs right over at construction new were still there

bold kernel
#

im not a big fan of it considering there's so much more loot and crack is kinda out of the way on most of my loot runs

#

but im sure there's a reason people go there

grim oak
#

So it's not hih traffic?

bold kernel
#

no, it is high traffic

bronze void
#

it depends

bold kernel
#

it's a high tier loot spot

#

but low chance of high tyier loot spawning

#

i think

bronze void
#

usually people rush it to loot specific items

bold kernel
#

any high tier spot is going to be a pvp spot at one point or another

grim oak
#

Eh I mean there is a cabinet

bold kernel
#

im so lost

#

i gilled a geared guy but i didnt know where to go next

#

killed

grim oak
#

But I'm perplexed that people didn't pick up the cms

#

If they rush it

bold kernel
#

Reserve is good shit. This was from yesterday

#

sometimes not much spawns

bronze void
#

i find in most of my raids that if it's not rushed at spawn it will usually stay clear because people assume the closest spawns have cleared them

bold kernel
#

high variance

#

I spawned in as a scav with like a 133

#

And came out with that

grim oak
#

@bold kernel you can use it for the first prapor quest

bold kernel
#

What?

#

i killed him like

grim oak
#

Mp-133

bold kernel
#

20 seconds into the raid

#

mf got quick peaked 3 times to the head

#

he even had a visor

#

I... could, yes? But I've already done that quest.

grim oak
#

Yeah just to mention

bold kernel
#

the sirens mean hermetic is open right ?

#

Yes

grim oak
#

Yes.

bold kernel
#

i couldnt see shit my visor was fucked

#

And also that the raiders are active, IIRC

#

cuz i shot him in the brain 3 times

#

lvl 47 geared out of the wazoo

#

he was mad

#

after that one

#

i feel like confidence is key in this game

lone sable
#

Hi, can someone explain, why after I upgraded from base version I didnยดt get a bigger alpha container? Do I only get one when getting the biggest version?

bold kernel
#

confidence matters, but trigger discipline is also important

#

cant go for a shot every time you see a pixel

You can go to the tarkov website and check

lone sable
#

mh ok, thanks

bold kernel
#

Don't

#

Genuinely

#

Do not buy EOD

#

Unless you have already played for multiple wipes

#

i didn't because it seems lioke cheating

#

i want the real experience

#

It's a huge expensive that does little beyond saving you some grind

#

i like that it gives future DLC

#

Do not spend your money until you are sure you actually enjoy the game enough to make it a worthwhile purchase to skip a grind you've already done

#

but yeah, if i get it will be next wipe

#

Future DLC is nice, yeah, that's the only reason I 'd really want to do it until I've gotten the content done

#

fuck me i dinged another guy in the head but another guy with a visor came

#

388 dmg absorbed my armor

winged pulsar
#

@bold kernel you should go learn the differences in ammos for example there are ones that pierce though armour more then there are ones that do higher flesh damage

bold kernel
#

i know ?

#

i wasnt saying that it was unvalid and that he shouldve died

#

he obv shouldnt

#

i just meant that i was unlucky

#

cuz he had a visor

#

while im running magnum buck

winged pulsar
#

chest shots

#

leg him then do him in the chest

bold kernel
#

wasnt possible

#

too close

#

nd no where to escape

winged pulsar
#

just dump in his chest then

bold kernel
#

i was dead after the first shot he was crouched on a staircase

#

chest shots really dont work there

winged pulsar
#

k

bold kernel
#

i was dead instantly after my first shot

#

i wouldve had to crouch and shoot him i saw him too late

winged pulsar
#

ahh tru

I just want the eod for the container and stash space honestly the regular edition is very limited. Especially without the cases and ammo boxes

winged pulsar

Hey probably a stupid question but is it possible for someone to survive 3 fal shots in the chest at close range? I was almost certain i hit them all, but the person in question didn't die, and i was wondering if i was doing something wrong in regards to accuracy

winged pulsar

ammo type

I need help, I don't know shoreline very well and I need to place markers on 3 tanks

Can someone help guide me and possibly play & have a good time afterwards? ๐Ÿ˜„

gilded umbra
bold kernel

@gilded umbra https://tarkov.ascheron.dev/

Different ammo has drastically difference performance, and different armor affects this heavily. Range, gun build and bullet velocity, bullet type, shot placement, accuracy, and server latency/desync all have a large impact.

winged pulsar
bold kernel
#

If you take ammo that's not got high pen and shoot it against an L6 vest, it's going to just bounce like rain. If you get something with amazing pen, it can onetap even L6.

winged pulsar
#

this whole game is based around ammo

bold kernel
#

It's kinda bullshit

winged pulsar
#

well some high ap will just go straight through and not do any flesh damage

#

7n1 will just go straight through

gilded umbra
#

I mean if in this game you can survive 3 shots of .308 winchester to the chest bc of ammo type its a bit different than my other tactical shooters

bold kernel
#

Yes

#

Massively

winged pulsar
#

depends his armour coulda just tanked it cause as a scav u get shitty ammo

bold kernel
#

You had a FAL, yes?

barren sapphire
#

can I buy the Gzhel for "Sew it good" part 2 on the flea market?

gilded umbra
#

yes

bold kernel
winged pulsar
#

@gilded umbra i half pack mags depending on weapon and mag size

barren berry
bold kernel
#

If it was Ultra Nosier? Then some wet tissue could stop the rounds

winged pulsar
#

first portion will be high ap and second high flesh

barren berry
bold kernel
#

If it was M993, it'd clap someone in a Hexgrid in like 2-4 shots

#

But someone in that same Hexgrid you could have empty 60 rounds of Ultra Nosier into their armor and they'd just laugh

#

tl;dr: Ammo matters way way way way more than just about anything else

winged pulsar

Thanks for the help

Currently a hair under 10 this wipe, got a bit of a late start, but I'd been doing mostly scavs so far to get back into the feel of it

@weary inlet using wiki is a must for this game

the argument against gen 4 full is you're wasting durability protecting your arms, leaving the armor less durability to protect thorax

theres always a chance you die to a scav headshot in the middle of a field, die in water, die in a bush and nobody finds it after the fight
