[sinful hedge]

i got level 14 endurance or something

my skills are pathetic

i was watching some dude running with shotgun shells overweight in resort on shoreline

[cunning kite]

na shotgunshells way more cost effectiuve

[sinful hedge]

he said it was cheaper with shells

[celest sage]

Which scav case is best

For money

[cunning kite]

buckshot is by far the most cost effective way to do it

[celest sage]

Do you think scav case is worth it

It’s like 4m

[cunning kite]

yea because gambling is fun

[celest sage]

Yeah the sas drive thing seems so incredibly dumb

You’re wasting millions and 2 SLOTS IN CONTAINER

[cunning kite]

just use buckshot idk why you would bother with anyrthing else

[celest sage]

When you could just take some buckshot in backpack

[cunning kite]

effort
go to jeager
buy
cntrl click to inventory

[celest sage]

Dude 2 slots in container is so much

Enough for overweight

If you have extra you use next run

[cunning kite]

ill check but usually its only like a one hundred ish

[celest sage]

Why not

[cunning kite]

one slot of buck shot adds a few kg, so you only need a few slots

[celest sage]

Either:

• give up probably 1-3m
• lose 2-4 slots in container, could be literally everything in your container

Or

• almost no money lost
• hit discard on buckshot occasionally

[magic aspen]

anyone wanna run some with me? kinda new

[cunning kite]

personally i just run empty fuel tanks

do you not extract

bro i got like a 40% sr im aware

but 15k is nothing

i aint putting 2 slots of my secure into sas drives tho

maybe if ur container is empty ig, but i dont wanna get rid of stuff to fit sas drives, when i coould just take 10k worth of buck, or some empty fuel tanks

but then i got empty container and im naked, i could just put some buck and play normally

why not just play game normally when waiting

you do you i guess, but you can walk and chew gum

[minor otter]

what in gods name...

[unreal horizon]

an aristocrats weapon

[minor otter]

i kinda wanna use it

like no other primary just that

see what happens

[unreal horizon]

wym that is a primary

a true weapon

[minor otter]

is there a way to take your shirt off so i can assert dominance while running around with this thing?

that fake mustache i found will go perfectly with this

[unkempt grove]

vac where did u make that pm or killed some guy who had it O.o

[bold kernel]

looking for sherpa who can guide me and teach me. im new 6 days. want to be better at pvp and looting.

[civic breach]

This is gonna seem like a super noob question, but does anyone know how much/if I should sell a skeletonized ar-15 grip I found? When I put it up for sale, there are no others available?

[lunar girder]

ar-15s arent meta rn so i wouldnt imagine a fortune but i honestly dont know

[civic breach]

right? like I was looking online and it said they have gone for 200k??? but that doesn't seem right

who knows, saving it for now at least. Thanks!

[cunning kite]

its worth a lot because it is necesary for a gunsmith quest

Anyone down to help me learn eft. Ive watched a good amount of vids. im lvl 4

[buoyant shale]

that moment when Skier legit just steals my hard earned US dollars

[cunning kite]

just wait for spa tour 6

[dire matrix]

just wait for mentor

[cunning kite]

u dont have to do mentor

[dire matrix]

if your a mashochist that wants to use bolt actions for like 900 years

im not getting to sniper level 8 by myself

[cunning kite]

dvl is fun tho

[dire matrix]

it is

[unborn hazel]

is there a work around for this xp screen bug?

[dire matrix]

but its way faster to get to sniper 5, turn in mentor and sbih

and get to 9 for psycho sniper

[civic breach]

Cheers! Thx

[heady ivy]

guys my stash isnt big enough help

[pure marsh]

Let me see. Pull it out

[heady ivy]

yes sir

is there a way to take a picture of it all in one screenshot or nah

[pure marsh]

Can you livestream? I can look at it and PM you

[heady ivy]

yeah sure

[pure marsh]

What I think

[heady ivy]

which channel

[vivid kite]

I just installed a new ssd and now i cant get the eft website to load?? Any suggestions?

[minor otter]

incognito, restart, clear cookies, reinstall browser

[vivid kite]

incognito?

[red summit]

Anyone looking to help a new player out??

[cursive kiln]

we dont do that here

jk dm

[torn matrix]

are shotguns even worht taking anymore?

shreads some scavs but

[craggy narwhal]

Is it even possible to enjoy this game solo if you aren't playing right after a wipe?

All I run into are fucking tanks, I have zero chance to kill anyone even if I see them first. I've been playing all day and haven't made any progress... Maybe 250xp a raid before I get smoked.

[stable vector]

Yeah game is tough on beginning

try to party

just another disconnect and lost all my stuff ... noice !

[craggy narwhal]

It is straight up not fun, at all. They need to implement a penalty for standing still for more than 60sec. When I do manage to survive for more than 5 min I just die to human trash camping exfils

[pure marsh]

I've been loving it playing as a solo. I got to lvl 24 this morning

[stable vector]

yeah, campers are a thing ... they just want a easy time

[pure marsh]

And my Bitcoin farm is in progress

[craggy narwhal]

I'm level 8, good for fucking you

[pure marsh]

Geez, I answered your question. Solo is fun and you can make great progress. You just have to make it over the hump

[craggy narwhal]

All I have access to is scav weapons and level 1 vendor weapons like a shotgun or adar.

[torn matrix]

scav rat runs

[craggy narwhal]

The hump gets steeper the farther out from wipe you get. Why don't they at least matchmake people by level?

[torn matrix]

and tehn get roubles for better weapons and ammo

im 14. exclusively solo. AMMO MAKES THE FIGHT

[craggy narwhal]

I ONLY HAVE ACCESS TO LEVEL 1 VENDORS THEY SELL MARSHMELLOWS EVEN IF I HAVE 100,000,000 BUCKS

[pure marsh]

Then work on positioning and your map knowledge

[torn matrix]

yeah

play one or two maps

dont play them all

[craggy narwhal]

I only play customs

[torn matrix]

factory is a deathzone

customs is great.

get an sks

farm skavs and doink pmcs that sit still

use the cover

[craggy narwhal]

I die to chads 80% of my raids even when I'm trying to stay on outskirts and kill scavs in old gas

[torn matrix]

old gas is a deathzone my dude

thats a chad extract

[craggy narwhal]

I die to chars trying to farm scavs in far corner. I die to chads trying to farm scavs in big red, I die to chads trying to farm scavs in sniper roadblock,..

where do I go to farm scavs with an sks or and adar with lvl 2 armor where I wont get absolutely fucked by any pmc that walks by me my dude?

[stable vector]

what means CHAD ?

[torn matrix]

geared higher level players

[stable vector]

thanks

[dire matrix]

but chads will push around the map and go towards gunshots, rats can be kitted out and still sit in a corner

its more of a playstyle thing

[craggy narwhal]

Both of which fuck the new guy.

Why doesnt offline exp count? Its rage inducing.

[stable vector]

playstyle is about your bank

[dire matrix]

because offline is for testing and stuff. it would be kinda op if you could level in offline

[stable vector]

if you can gear and don't care about money ... then why do you care ?

[vital goblet]

can i do stirrup by killing a teamate 3 times?

[dire matrix]

shooting dudes is fun. and i can make the money number go higher

[stable vector]

just pros like quattro push agressive with bankroll less than 1 mil LOL

everyone else gears up but bankroll are high like 50 and million up

[craggy narwhal]

So is the only way to get into this game really to just group with higher players who can carry? or grind for weeks dying over and over and over and over to bullshit?

[vital goblet]

no just play it yourself

you dont have to fight anyone

[stable vector]

quests and learn maps

[craggy narwhal]

I would LOVE to do the quests. WOULD LOVE TO.

[stable vector]

night time is better for quests

[craggy narwhal]

But I cant extract with a 133, or get the key to dorms for water, or survive in any map longer than 10min unless im crawling on my stomach

[stable vector]

forget about dorms bro

just go there at night, do quest and leave

[craggy narwhal]

You need dorms for a quest. bro

[vital goblet]

then find a team or run it solo?!?!

[stable vector]

def team

[craggy narwhal]

I need the key to get into the room for the quest

[vital goblet]

get the key get the room naked and die

[stable vector]

usually dorms are hotspot for geared ppl cuz of loot

[craggy narwhal]

Cant get fleamarket to buy it becasue I cant level up because firing a shot at scavs to farm xp gets me killed

[vital goblet]

just hatchet it

[pure marsh]

Join a LFG chat and ask people for help, the key is cheap anyways

[vital goblet]

if youi die to scavs often thats on you

[craggy narwhal]

LEVEL EIGHT

fleamarket is 10+

[proper fox]

You can get the shotguns from jaeger if you have him

If not do the woods quest

[stable vector]

once you hit 10 is easierr

[vital goblet]

nah they are only found in raid now

[craggy narwhal]

shotgun is FIR

because fuck new people

[vital goblet]

what?

[proper fox]

Since when

[vital goblet]

every has to do the same quest

[proper fox]

This patch i bought them

[vital goblet]

what does that have to do with new people

[proper fox]

Or wipe

[craggy narwhal]

everyone doing the quest on day one is on equal gear footing

me trying to get into the game I'm 3+ armor levels behind and I cant penetrate ANYONE

[vital goblet]

filtairne i started half way through last wipe

and did fine

[proper fox]

Everyone has there own pace though

[vital goblet]

that was my first time

[dire matrix]

aim for legs or face

[pure marsh]

I started 30 days ago lol

[craggy narwhal]

I do. Ive been trying to use shotguns for leg meta, but I'm wearing paper armor

I die before I can kill.

[vital goblet]

@craggy narwhal lvl 3 armor is fine

[dire matrix]

dont stand still when shooting

[proper fox]

I started at the beginning of wipe and im level 29. Where you have other people who started at the same time at level 15 and 50

[strong barn]

On the contrary it would be rage inducing if it DID count
as those of who could play against ACTUAL humans and succeed would be superceded by Offline children (who have good gear because they play by themselves on map full of AI)

[vital goblet]

to kill scavs and do quest

@craggy narwhal it sounds like u go for pvp when u dont have to fight anyone

[pure marsh]

Armor doesn't carry you, knowledge does

[craggy narwhal]

I DONT

[dire matrix]

try to constantly reposition and don't re-peek the same angle

[craggy narwhal]

these people literally hunt me down when I'm trying to kill scavs

[vital goblet]

@craggy narwhal just go scav and youll be fine

[craggy narwhal]

I RUN from people when I can.

[strong barn]

Learn to adapt

[pure marsh]

4 shots of 9x19 RIP will kill anyone, regardless of armor

[craggy narwhal]

scav doesnt level my pmc

[dire matrix]

because you are most likely using an unsupressed weapon and people are coming to you for pmc kills

[strong barn]

lol endurance skill is 5
'run'; you run from nothing

[craggy narwhal]

SURE WISH I HAD THE ABILITY TO BUY A CAN

[vital goblet]

yea but it gets you better money for better gear on pmc to kill scavs and get xp

[dire matrix]

you cant sit in one spot for long periods of time before people come to check it out

[pure marsh]

Shoot and move

[strong barn]

jaegar resets and boom buy one? you get jaegar as early as level 5 now this wipe

[craggy narwhal]

usually getting mowed down on my way there

[torn matrix]

howww dude

PS doesnt go through a zsh

wtf

762ps

[pure marsh]

Ricochet?

[torn matrix]

i have no idea

[proper fox]

It really is just knowledge of the game and skill at the game. Sure its gonna be somewhat harder to start in the middle of a wipe, but you can still do well

[torn matrix]

the guy was in one corner then disappeared

[dire matrix]

the bright green one or the olive one

very different outcome depending on which one

[proper fox]

I feel like i could reset my account and do decent since I consider myself decent at the game

[pure marsh]

How far have you made it? Why reset?

[proper fox]

I was saying it in response of people saying it's impossible to play this game when you don't start at the beginning of a wipe when plenty of people do it

[pure marsh]

Ohhhhhhhh my b homie

[ancient falcon]

anyone have trouble figuring out if a footstep is above or same level as you. E.g. outside mantis facing the hole in the ground. I'm looting a guy and I hear a footstep. It sounds like its in front of me so I'm looking towards the store infront of kiba and the escalator. But after I died, in the clip he was above me. I was wearing sordins.

[proper fox]

I think the sound is always weird hieghtwise. Don't think there is a good solution

[ancient falcon]

and especially with all the different headphones, helmets it's confusing

you have to stick with one and get used to it pretty much. Even then I've been using sordins for the longest and in the moment I had no idea he was above me.

[pure marsh]

I'd check out Veritas video on headphones. He does a really amazing comparison

You can see which works best for you

[halcyon patio]

anyone ever seen this?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/763109647661137942/809989773959626772/unknown.png

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/763109647661137942/809997778213666856/unknown.png

it rerolled my game after i died

i died to a thermal and sat in the death screen hearing everything for 20 minutes

restarted and this happened

[ancient falcon]

I have ages ago and I went with sordin

[chilly plume]

@halcyon patio damn that sucks

[inner sapphire]

Anyone willing to play with a noobie

[chilly plume]

thas 4 bitcoins gone total?@halcyon patio

[halcyon patio]

yep

[ancient falcon]

@halcyon patio you kept your stuff?

[halcyon patio]

4 bitcoins from one run

kept all my shit

like the raid never happened

[ancient falcon]

lmao

[halcyon patio]

thats why the person who killed me couldnt find my body

[chilly plume]

that sucks ass, thas over 2 mil gone

[halcyon patio]

cus it was FUCKING NONEXISTENT

[wicked flame]

if anyone can help me run shorline i have all keys

[ancient falcon]

will a handgrenade drop if you just pull it out and pull the pin?

I just died to the most bullshit thing

killed a scav, he just started the animation but I killed him instantly then as I went past him I died to a nade which made no sound

[elfin portal]

anyone wanna guide me to the factory swoing room floor 2 shop 3

I dont know factory at all and just need to do it for task

[buoyant shale]

Is there a table that summaries #of gpus vs time per bitcoin? I found one online but i think its outdated

or at least i wanna know how much time it takes 25/50 gpus to generate 1 bitcoin

[gaunt gyro]

10 hours for 25 and 6 hours 40 for 50 gpus @buoyant shale

[buoyant shale]

ty

[heavy maple]

hi there any idea why the bandage is locked even tho i completed the quest.

[elfin ravine]

You may need to survive a raid on customs to finish it

[heavy maple]

Thanks i did die on my 15th kill, ill give it another shot!

[elfin ravine]

Some quest you just have to survive once while having the challenge if not that maybe relog in and see it that helps when turning it in.

[buoyant shale]

its just bandages honestly if i were u i would just collect rewards

they are very cheap and they are everywhere

[heavy maple]

will do. im nearly lvl 10 finally. i play a little everyday. then i can start building my stash

one advantage is im kinda learning customs alot...i like the map

[novel ridge]

it says rewards recieved, try restarting

it's also a therapist lvl 2 trade so if you only have lvl 1 therapist, that'll also do it

[ancient star]

should i just selll my bitcoin or wait

[novel ridge]

why would you wait

[ancient star]

cuz it could hit a mill

[novel ridge]

i mean maybe

based on their math, it should be 2.4m rn. According to them its price and then lowered by 30%

[ancient falcon]

I peaked for a second the quickly side stepped fully in the a cover and the guy was still spraying but I still die....

[nocturne moat]

anyone wanna help me with challenges on customs im new

[karmic crescent]

what lvl

[nocturne moat]

lvl 4

[bold kernel]

I NEED to find a pilgrim

[alpine crow]

LF aussies to duo with for quests

[willow swallow]

hey i got a beta container

what do i do with the alpha

i cant sell it

[main dagger]

just did my 1st extract in scav successfully 🙂

[willow swallow]

what map

[icy swan]

Its a great feeling.

[main dagger]

Reserve

[willow swallow]

that map is hard asf

[main dagger]

i just got some good looking shit and went out

im tryna learn on scav before i go in geared with my pmc

[willow swallow]

reserve is a ballsy pick to start out on

[idle vortex]

Yo, got a question. On the BP depot task from prapor I died after placing the last marker and it says "Survive and leave the area" but I already died
What do I need to do?

[willow swallow]

i learned reserve fourth

[willow swallow]

extract. doesnt matter which raid

[main dagger]

should i keep learning or switch maps?

[idle vortex]

oh, so I can go to factory and extract? or does it has to be customs?

[willow swallow]

customs

[idle vortex]

Aight ty 🙂

[icy swan]

Customs is great to learn. Lots of early quests are on it.

[willow swallow]

up to you. I dont like reserve cause you get fucked by dudes in lvl 5 armour. I like customs as a learning experience

[nocturne moat]

im lvl 4 and have nothing just doing scav runs if anyone wants to join

[willow swallow]

where did my bullets go

[dire matrix]

1st shot hit the door frame, 2nd shot got eaten by the helmet, 3rd and 4th were arm shots

[willow swallow]

damb

guess ill go kms

[dire matrix]

try to switch to single fire of you're gonna tap

its too easy to fire multiple shots tapping in full auto

[willow swallow]

will do

i think i was a bit panicked cause that was the third one

[dire matrix]

it comes with practice

[willow swallow]

i shoulda just reloaded my good pistol instead of using that ak

context i guess

[dire matrix]

yeah, i never use a scavs gun unless i have literally no ammo left

[prisma fjord]

@willow swallow you should put a healing item in your rig or pocket so you can hotkey it

even if you are trying to conserve money, putting a piece of cheese in there is only 4k and having it hotkeyed is really helpful

I bring a minimum of 2 full salewa and Ifaik every raid

sometimes thats not even enough lol

if you have a 2x2 open in a rig like a blackrock you can even bring a Grizzly

[steel kestrel]

how can yall tell where your shots land so easy

[idle vortex]

Yo does anyone know which parts I need for the gunsmith pt 3?

[surreal ice]

I don't want to seem like i'm complaining, but how often do you guys get laggy servers?

Just got kicked out of the game 3 times and couldnt open any doors or containers

I don't get kicked out too often, but I do notice that I lag when i open containers or my inventory

[steel kestrel]

there has been server issues since yesterday, apparently they arent all fixed but the ones that are up are still running bad

[surreal ice]

hmm that's tough.

thanks

[willow swallow]

Tarkov wiki got me through all my gunsmiths

Its a cheatsheet for all the missions tbh

[weak bough]

the best rig for tactical raids

[edgy sorrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeWq93Vo0f8&feature=youtu.be

[elfin portal]

is there any way toi report team killers in this server

its @nimble fable

[calm folio]

nah dont think so

[calm folio]

they plan on adding a karma system tho

[elfin portal]

ok cool

[calm folio]

idk how it will function tho

[harsh wind]

thats in game this server doesnt do to kindly to team killers.

in game is different but this server is to find people to play with officially. There could be recourse espeacially because of the general player feeling agaisnt them.

[supple topaz]

is it a good idea to play solo? and jsut have a map up

ive pretty much only done it 1 time on a scav

[harsh wind]

best way to learn the maps is offline

[harsh wind]

go into the raids with a map up on your phone or on a second screen and then go find each extract. Learn one map at a time and then when you feel more comfortable go in with scavs on an offlinee raid. Then after a while go in normally.

[supple topaz]

well im level 12 and ive done costoms mainly i know where some stuff is its just that ill need teh map sometimes

[raven nest]

i used to do that you're usually fine cause while you're looking at the map you can wait and listen for people

just go prone or hide somewhere inside

where do scavs in woods spawn on my last 10 raids i've only found like 4

[supple topaz]

so i just got alot of insurance back lots of backpacks and i put the backpacks from my insurance into my stash and backpack septioned them and put some items in there then it gave me a back end error and deleted those backpacks and everything inside is this a know bug or should i report it also a pair of headphones that i put in that backpack is still in insurance and i cant take it out its just flashing

[uncut coyote]

I need help referring to my fps being low but the usage for my gpu,cpu,ram and vram are low.. doesnt make any sense??

[bold kernel]

im learning reserve what keys should i get to max my loot efficiency

[raven nest]

are you on laptop or desktop

[maiden sand]

I have a question! Who should I hand chemical part 4 to?

Parpar, skier, or therapist?

[cloud violet]

what is the best 9mm ammo?

[raven nest]

i would also like to know that ^^

[naive atlas]

Skier

It unlocks a helmet

[raven nest]

do you get locked out of any quest depending on choices?

or is it just the helmet

[naive atlas]

If you dont choose it you cant unlock the helmet

I've never used the helmet before though so it's not a huge loss

[raven nest]

oh i looked it up it's level 4 protection and level 3 optional visor

but therapist gives a medcase

[gilded sable]

anybody got a spark plug to trade?

[maiden sand]

@gilded sable r u new?

[gilded sable]

yes

[maiden sand]

I can give u one

[gilded sable]

alright

[waxen helm]

arguably med case is the best choice here for value

[open lotus]

if your weight is yellow does that slow you down?

[bold kernel]

@calm oracle what is your in game?

in tarkov

[steel kestrel]

So, I had 4 exits available on woods. Once required a key I didn't have, one needed a friendly scav, one I needed to pay 3k, and the fourth which I was trying for was surrounded by mines. I barely walk past the sign and get 2 mines and shots fired. Bruh wtf. It seemed like I was just doomed to not get out with my best run at level 5. Fpr the one I have to pay, do I have to have the money in thw raid on my character or does it come from my account?

[waxen helm]

you need it in raid

[steel kestrel]

Welp. I was just doomed

Fml

[raven nest]

mines usually have signs around them so look out for those

[steel kestrel]

I did see the signs, but it was my only option. I thought the road would be a safer route as I might be able to see them, but there was two in front of me that I didn't see at all so

[waxen helm]

you wanted to extract on outskirts?

[steel kestrel]

I'm really erked. A great player kill who had lvl 5 armor and helmet and bunch of other stuff I could really use and get fucked by exits I couldn't reach or utilize

Woods

[waxen helm]

why bother walking out that far

you are pretty safe going to outskirts

a lot of rocks

and the extraction zone is huge

[raven nest]

yeah if you see a car that's it

[steel kestrel]

I'm trying to get jagers task done. I had been to all corners of the map trying every exit I had available, until the last one which I walked 2 steps into the mine field and got 2 mines

[raven nest]

you have mines near that but they're only on the edge of the map

are you using a map to get an idea of where you're going?

[steel kestrel]

Yea

Thats the only reason I knew where I was going

I'm only now lvl5

[raven nest]

you will die plenty of times to stuff like that

the learning curve is pretty steep

and people will literally kill you just for giggles

regardless of how low geared you are

[steel kestrel]

I've found that out already

I just hate how fucked the game made me by exits I couldn't use

[waxen helm]

[raven nest]

yeah i just go for outskirts whenever i can just stay away from the mines lool

[rain zodiac]

okay i just redownloaded the game havent played in over a year, anyone down to help me out?

[timid surge]

is there a timelimit for the power on interchange? like does it switch off after x ammount of time or will it run, until someone switches it off again?

[waxen helm]

no

[timid surge]

thanks

[sour heron]

what do you mean by help you out? you mean you have a question? or you want a carry?

[rain zodiac]

kinda need a buddy to run me through so i dont go solo and get tarkoved

[sour heron]

a carry

got it

good luck!

[rain zodiac]

yup

they used to be common, im not asking for a hard carry just someone to help me out while i get used to the game and learn the maps

[sour heron]

I put my maps in my 2nd monitor. I loot everything.
Solo!
http://www.eftmkg.com/shoreline-full.html#5/-14046.000/21068.000

Shoreline is more chill - less pvp. try it... you might like it

[rain zodiac]

i dont have a second monitor, plus i lowkey dont wanna play solo

[sour heron]

gross

I would never play with a player like you lol

Players that want carry's gross me out.

[noble fog]

Is it worth crafting 7N31 to sell in flea? ^^

[sour heron]

I think yes

[rain zodiac]

or i just dont wanna play solo cause i find it boring

[steel kestrel]

Solo can be boring

[median junco]

solo is when tarkov turns from survival shooter to survival horror

[waxen helm]

i pref solo more than squad

[raven nest]

solo is anything but boring

[tawny canyon]

Why are the LEDX soo popular? What does that item do? Is it something you mount on your gun?

[waxen helm]

no you dont mount it on your gun

[ancient falcon]

why is my screen black?

wtf..

I just spawned in

and I hear someone running near me

.............

[torpid snow]

its expensive/popular because its needed for barters and hideout upgrades. I think you still need it found in raid for a quest as well, but i may be remembering wrong

also its rare as fuck

can someone help me out with a qeust, what is the best position to stand for the qeust ( a shooter born in heaven )

like what is the best budget build for this qeust and where to stay in what area of the maps

[blazing heron]

is scav case worth it i would spend around 2,5 mil i just need to find old firesteel and silver badge?

[smoky wing]

^ its casino

sometimes i get nothing from it

but last time i got 6mln roubles key

[charred cloud]

7k is worth it on average but everything else is just casino

[smoky wing]

300k or bust

[charred cloud]

sad thing on 7k you dont get the really exciting things just useful stuff and mostly more than you put in

[turbid raven]

Can anyone assist me in "opertaion aquarius"? Im lvl 12 but I dont know costums well and I dont wanna go solo in dorms

[cerulean merlin]

good ammo for the VPO ?

anybody know some

[turbid raven]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jjWcIue0_PCsbLQAiL5VrIulPK8SzM5jjiCMx9zUuvE/htmlview?usp=drivesdk I recomend using this for info about ammo

[cerulean merlin]

ah thanks

[smoky wing]

AP and only AP

rest is garbage

[agile vigil]

does this mean like endurance and strength ?

[solid steppe]

is there any decent way to do the golden swag quest?

or low level players should just quit the game

[agile vigil]

just don't rush it and don't pick fights

if you have the spawn for doorms you can rush it and and get out asap

[solid steppe]

and then you pray

to spawn next to trailer

i guess

[agile vigil]

not rlly

you will go anyway on the other side of the map

for extraction

[solid steppe]

well depends on where you spawn

but sure

just a fckn stupid quest

[eager ermine]

whats the best beginner gear?

[agile vigil]

there are a lot of stupid quests in this game

that make 0 sense

[solid steppe]

idk

making people hand in graphics cards as a quest

[agile vigil]

yeah

[solid steppe]

just seems so idiotic to me

some1 should be fired for that

[agile vigil]

i have that quest

but when i have it i sell it for 1 mil

i can't give up on that xD

[solid steppe]

obv

how do they expect people to spend 5M on a quest

[agile vigil]

well, i think you will get one gpu back

or 2

after a few quests

[solid steppe]

just so tilted

lost the zippo 4 times

maybe the game is not for me

[agile vigil]

are you going in naked ?xD

[solid steppe]

went cat 4

doesnt matter

spawned next to the green room

killed a scav that spotted me

some1 1 shot me from idk where with igolink

and i went to dorms like 7 times already

same shit there

people fully geared with vectors in squads of 3

tbh i think my issue is playing alone

[agile vigil]

yeah..

[solid steppe]

solo is a nightmare

funniest part, all of the peacekeeper quests are blocked behind this skier ones

i should git gud

[agile vigil]

ik, im a lone wolf, played squad only a few times, and is rlly struggling as a solo player

[agile vigil]

xD

[bold kernel]

learn the ways of the rat and you should live quite consistently

[solid steppe]

hatchet runs time i guess

POG

[agile vigil]

yeah, buttt

is boring

i like to fight

[bold kernel]

you can fight after you have the cash to afford fighting

and its always fun to just ambush people

[agile vigil]

i think i have enough xD

[bold kernel]

nice

[agile vigil]

but all these money or a part of it

goes in the hideout

still, people didn't answer to my question 😦

[agile vigil]

.

[halcyon blaze]

Hey first wipe playing and was just curious about factory games, why is it sometimes ill queue into a game where it feels like theres no players and just AI scavs? did a couple games where there were just 12 ai scavs running at me was kinda monkaS

not playing offline ofc

[agile vigil]

i believe on that map can be only 6 players

per raid

and after 5-10 mins the scav players come in

[halcyon blaze]

AI scavs though

[solid steppe]

5-6 players

on factory

its said to be 5 during day and 6 during night raids

[halcyon blaze]

ive had 9 scav kills in the other game though...

[agile vigil]

well, is a small map and the scavs spawn constantly

[bold kernel]

hi i am looking for players that love to play tarkov, im 23 y old with a mic, im lvl 8 atm grinding some money and doing tasks, looking for some players to play with. hit me up

[celest sage]

He gives you back 5 bitcoins and a gpu iirc

[celest sage]

Yes but costs an air filter to run which lasts for 20 hours so around 400-500k per day cost

[quaint inlet]

omg these scavs are pain in my ....

I mean I am new. doing a custom raid. Saw like 5 PMC's, run away from them. My heart starting beating atleaast 100bpm. after I got away I got onetapped bij a scaw XD

So hard to learn the game :()

[agile vigil]

oh ok, thx

why these 2 don't go together ?XD

i tried to check what face shield i can use

and it shows me none

bcs it only works for the black one

ffs..

[upper iron]

[deft lintel]

sup guys, just got the RB-KPRL key on my scav run, what is the best way of selling it and about how much is it worth? could just find barteroffers for it

[crude orbit]

i sold mine for 1.1m

decent key

[shut oracle]

Yea about 1.3 my man if none is on the market.

[fickle mauve]

whats the best store on interchange to search for Propane? OLI?

[quaint inlet]

Where can I find easy selawa kits? Are there specific locations in customs?

[shut oracle]

Yea check the back shelves if oli dude that’s the best place to find them other than labs.

[shut oracle]

Best place is shoreline with some of the locked rooms or to a lesser extent reserves medblock. If you were really dangerous you could go labs but shoreline is your best bet.

[fickle mauve]

ty

you can also craft salewa in the hideout with med station 1

[shut oracle]

Fuel right now though is very expensive especially for newer players who may have no choice but to buy fuel off the flea.

[fickle mauve]

true, but you dont have to leave it on all the time, can still craft without power, just takes longer. those at higher levels have to keep fuel on non stop due to bitcoin farm

[blazing heron]

if you are on labs on eu servers and you got killed by this guy just report him cuz he is cheating he bhoped looked the other way and head eyesed me HE IS 100% cheating

[upper iron]

Level 1? =]

[quaint inlet]

@shut oracle I would like to go. But iam only lvl 4, I get wrecked even by a scav on customs.

[shut oracle]

It’s all good dude just keep trying to learn the maps. There are only a few medbags across customs and they will be your best bet for customs however I wouldn’t really recommend that map for selawa but it is possible from those med bags.

[quaint inlet]

thx

[misty kindle]

what’s the best way to upgrade ur alpha container?

[shut oracle]

Follow the punisher quest line for prapor and you will get the epsilon container which is a 2x8

[misty kindle]

what container do most people have

[crude orbit]

majority alpha, second would probably be gamma

then beta

epsilon, then kappa

[shut oracle]

Gamma container you have to pay for by getting the edge of darkness edition.

Epsilon is a great container and you can earn it in game and then by doing most quests in the game you can get kappa which is what i have got now which is a 3x4

[misty kindle]

how do you get the kappa one ??

i mean I can’t do any of it yet anyways in only like level 7

[shut oracle]

Search up a quest called collector on the wiki. It’s a task given by fence and you have to complete the majority of quests other than some multiple choice ones and just some other random ones. It’s like an end of the quest line reward basically.

[misty kindle]

ohh okay cool

Don’t really wanna but if I did how would you upgrade from standard to eod

[shut oracle]

Should be able to be done on the website under the preorder section.

[misty kindle]

ohh so you’d still be paying the full price right

[solid steppe]

idk, having in mind how much those gpus could mine, im still losing money

[shut oracle]

If your logged in should give you a discount to upgrade as it will remove the base game price from it.

[shut oracle]

If you want to keep your money as high as possible then stay completely away from quests as it will cost you a lot of money and items but if you want something to do, get xp, cheaper prices, higher level traders etc then do quests. There is no right way to go about this game and it’s completely opinion based.

[tardy marten]

hey can someone help me get kappa

[bold kernel]

https://streamable.com/9kxz6l

is it possible that hes playing legit

killed other guy with 2 shots

then stopped on the middle of the road when i came to peak him while crouch slow walking

and 2 tapped me too

hes level 13

[coarse plaza]

Is using moonshine pointless? I've lost money everytime and just get garbage

[shut oracle]

They can all be garbage depends on your luck

[upper iron]

I would assume he was cheating ye :)

No other reason for him to be sitting there waiting for you unless you shot at him before

He also 1 tapped you, but he is a shit cheater so =]

[bold kernel]

eh i had the 2 mil item on me

2.4 mil

FUCK bro

i had Phased array element

[sour heron]

I have a fuel problem ... need for my generator... level 9.2......

Fleamarket cannot come soon enough.......

porque?

wowza....

👀

[strong jolt]

holy moly money cases are so expensive

might as well just get another items case

[steel narwhal]

Is the FAST RAC headset any good?

[late needle]

no

[tawdry shard]

get use to not using them 😛

altyn for the win

[worn mortar]

Bro i can't afford the altyn

[hearty sonnet]

what is there to do with empty fuel canisters again? i remember someone telling me to keep them but i dont know why

[west ivy]

Yo guys I need attachment for weapon quest and can't buy it because I'm not level 30 yet can someone buy from mechanic and give it to me it's like 10k roubles only 😄

[dim vortex]

mp133 gunsmith part 1

what do i need

[strong barn]

You can sell emptys on the flea for over 150k

click the little X next to Operational Only in the flea when u have the can searched

and itll show you what people are selling empties for

[sour heron]

cannot move in Raid.. server timing out?

[strong barn]

press Alt

tends to fuck with shit

[sour heron]

k.. back to normal

[strong barn]

alt + w or alt + s

yea thats a weird bug when raid starts

[hearty sonnet]

well yea but why would people want to buy empty ones? i might as well keep them and do whatever it is they are doing if it is worth that much

[strong barn]

Can craft grenade cases out of the metal ones; the blue ones can be used to make mag boxers

[hearty sonnet]

is the grenade case worth it?

[strong barn]

I use my metal tanks to craft flechettes cause i dont want the cans in my inventory

and then i just blast flechettes like a lunatic on a suicide dorms run

[hearty sonnet]

i crafted it once but i didnt see myself profiting much

[strong barn]

not for profit

just for memes

[hearty sonnet]

no the grenade case

[strong barn]

grenade case for profit is not worth it atm due to the cans being 150k each

[hearty sonnet]

well i have them laying around

[strong barn]

it takes two cans to make one case and the case sells for 330k or so

Id rather sell the cans and lost 30k

[ancient falcon]

can someone please look at this and tell me what happened? https://youtu.be/udiTj77h9Pk

[strong barn]

then have a headache

[ancient falcon]

I follow him but idk how he runs under me

[hearty sonnet]

yea it takes a ton of other parts though, 5 bolts, 5 screw nuts, 1 wrench, 1 metal cutting

[ancient falcon]

In game I thought he was at gas station somewhere when I heard his footsteps

[strong barn]

@hearty sonnet yea that is way over the 30-50k differential I mentioned above

if its roughly 150k x 2 cans + ???? ingrediants = 330-350k grenade case
not worth

just sell the cans

or make shotgun ammo and meme around

[hearty sonnet]

yea even with the tanks it isnt worth it

[strong barn]

lets those other potato's lose their money; you be the smart one

[hearty sonnet]

also they are only selling for like 20k empty

and no one is buying them either

[strong barn]

that doesnt sound---correct but I will check myself before I commit to 'reee your wrong!'
one sec lol

[strong barn]

@hearty sonnet fuck me wtf

Ill make so many flechettes

for nothing

[hearty sonnet]

there isnt really a reason for them being over that price

[strong barn]

nope

[hearty sonnet]

even that price is a little absurd

[strong barn]

they were 150k like 2 days ag

I take a 48hr break to play pokemon and look at this shit

[hearty sonnet]

i wish that going into a raid still refilled them

that would be poggers

[strong barn]

I wish there wasnt a 2 month long test of 'fuel shortage' occuring

[hearty sonnet]

but not like as soon as you spawn it, you have to go to like a gas station or a gas truck or something

[hearty sonnet]

and as soon as i get btc farm XD

[strong barn]

@hearty sonnet yea nikita's a fucking troll confirmed 100%

[strong barn]

Yea im in that atm; love someone tapping Q and insta headeyes me around corners

i wish I was that good I hear echo as the desync laughs in my face

[hearty sonnet]

im thinking bout taking a break from questing

even just doing pvp quests and treating them as "fun" instead of quests makes me angry

just the word quests entering my head makes the game 10x less fun for me

cuz i feel like im obligated to do them

[strong barn]

I already am done the quests Im doing
Got my episilon and Im good; last wipe I had kappa but I ended up doing meme runs all the time and never really using it
Once you have kappa and max everything--you dont really need kappa; its a grass is greener on the other side type thing imo

[hearty sonnet]

all i see streamers using it for is like 1 extra mag and a propital or an etg

[strong barn]

Thats legit all its good for

and 50% of the time you dont get to use the Etg or Sj6; its just there in your ass

[bold kernel]

can anyone here help a new player make some money?

[hearty sonnet]

ill just keep those on me sure its like 60k more if i die but im gonna be losing money anyways

exactly

[strong barn]

Thats how I see it 🤷

end of the day; money is not hard to make and gear is easy to come by as the game is now
so why the fuck do I think I need a 12 slot container?
Legit when I had it I ended up putting like 9 grenades in my ass and 4 smoke grenades in my vest and just yeeting to dorms for the lulz

or trying to make freshspawn friends in interchange/reserve or scav player friends to extract with me

Idk I find a lot more is fun in this game then grinding for the Kappa; but I guess its not supposed to be fun so 🤷 oh well fuck it lmfao

[hearty sonnet]

my biggest question now that im out of the quest loop

what do i do now? XD

[strong barn]

murder murder kill kill
meme meme voiceline at nerds

I like to hatchet run with a handgun in my pistol slot
People think ur just a stupid freshy and you can ask for meds if they decide to not shoot me
thats when as their tabbed I whip out the shrimp and blast away
I may die like 15x until it works once; but Its worth it for me LOL

also cultist knife running factory

or hiding in night shoreline with a cultisit knife or something

gotta make your own fun now :O

try and make the 100m underground headshot in d2 🤣 Im still trying for it this wipe (personal omegalul goal)

[distant thicket]

could someone help m get some loot and quests done?

[bold kernel]

I also need help with that

[torpid zinc]

should i keep this?

[cinder hound]

no

17 mill ez

jk ya if ur hurting for space keep it

its the easiest thicc case ur gonna get

[shut oracle]

Depends whether you like to hoard money or gear.

[ancient star]

fuck i fucked up

i meant to put 2000 a round for igolnik

and i accidently put it up for 20000

i just lost a mill

on accident goddammit

[lusty glacier]

is it possible to get back vests full of items that i handed over to hideout crafting?

[echo lotus]

sorry to the lvl 1 usec with m4 and beretta that took one buckshot pellet to the face

[shut oracle]

Nope, once its gone its gone man :(

[lusty glacier]

ah

okay

[mellow saddle]

anybody want to run some customs, i need about 20,000 xp to hit lvl 20

NA

[strong barn]

hey man; last wipe I turned in a pilgrim for a ragman quest
and it had an Icase in the pilgrim; and a grenade case and 3 ammo boxes in the pilgrim
Poof
Gone
If it makes you feel better

[lusty glacier]

lol

i would never do that

[strong jolt]

we've all been there unfortunately

[barren trellis]

https://i.imgur.com/bU4fbFb.png

well that sucks...

[idle vortex]

Yo, can anyone with the peacekeeper LL2 buy a mp5sd silencer and sell it on the flea market? I can't seem to find one and not enough money spent

[inland cliff]

Can any body armor go with the TV-110

[severe flame]

Does Charisma even do anything?

[peak sapphire]

nothing except that level 10 is needed for a quest

[strong barn]

Remember FiR

[severe flame]

No, because it's a body armor itself.

[inland cliff]

thought so just making sure, thanks

[severe flame]

Ah.

Useful lmfao

[peak sapphire]

ikr

[barren trellis]

if somebody buys off merchant, it is not "found in raid" so can not be sold on market

[idle vortex]

Ik ik ik ik

[bronze plume]

hey anyone down to help me later on? I'm only at about 40k and need some help getting familiar with raids

if you can help just add me dm me

[graceful flax]

Whens the soonest you can get a docs case?

[untold solar]

I'm level 5 because I haven't done PMC much but I already have one

[nocturne ice]

How is reserve daytime vs nighttime to loot up because Ive went night but died everytime and day seems to have a little more luck but more populated

[split girder]

anybody know an easy way to find jaeger camp ive spent 3 days trying to find this shit in woods

[minor otter]

wtf i just got dced and had no option to reconnect

[gilded lake]

tarkoved

[minor otter]

https://i.redd.it/58iiphfq3z861.png

[untold solar]

I can give it a shot to help ya, I'm still learning the new part of woods but I can still give it a go if ya want

[minor otter]

it's near the airplane

[split girder]

all good managed to luck out and find it

thx anyways tho @untold solar & @minor otter

[minor otter]

np

[random mica]

Any lads wanna run Customs, interchange later, I'm level 9 just about to hit 10 and unleash the flea market

[untold solar]

I'll tag along, I haven't done pmc much because early wipe I would get tarkov'd

[odd helm]

I would join ya for sure Im only a level 3 though

[bold kernel]

for the oil tanker marking for the prapor task, what happens you lose one of them

[minor otter]

alr so i crafted a salewa for this quest https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Shortage and used a little of it

now i cant turn it in

[bold kernel]

it has to be found in a raid

[minor otter]

so is the wiki just wrong when it says it can have any hp left?

[minor otter]

Find in raid or craft in Hideout 3 Salewa kits
what?

[bold kernel]

oh

wiki wrong i think

i found my three in the raied

raid*

[untold solar]

It might get drowned out, but I said I'll tag along

[minor otter]

it had an orange marker on it that said it was a valid quest item

[bold kernel]

@minor otter you can't take something in raid that has "found in raid" status and then turn it in for a task that requires said item to be found in raid.

[random mica]

@untold solar I'm new to discord so add me and I'll play after tea time

[bold kernel]

Once you take something in raid that has the "found in raid" marker, it looses it.

[minor otter]

what the hell

why?

[bold kernel]

Just craft another one.. it takes 40 minutes.

[minor otter]

i dont have the hemostat bandages

[bold kernel]

Look for em near medical spawns.

[minor otter]

i've been cucked by the game

[bold kernel]

Under power building on customs, Intel house on customs, mantis on interchange, open medical store upstairs on interchange, and white bishop on reserve.

We've all made that mistake ourselves. How else do you think we know about the fir status ?

[mild gate]

how do you swap between a laser and flashlight on your gun

[minor otter]

T i think?

[bold kernel]

Are they two separate items @mild gate ?

[mild gate]

yes

[bold kernel]

I just remove the laser and run only a flashlight.

[mild gate]

but its not as tacticool 😡

[bold kernel]

There is a flashlight/laser in one.

Either way, you have to take off one or the other to use them independently.

[mild gate]

how do i switch on that one

[red flame]

I recommend the dbal tactical device.

[bold kernel]

Ctrl + t.

Dbal is to expensive imo.

[young trout]

anyone trying to money run scavs and pmc's?

[bold kernel]

#pvp-lfg

[red flame]

You can still ask here instead of throwing out an actual lfg

[young trout]

i know ducky im noot going straight into voice coms to ask

[red flame]

You don't have to go into voice

[bold kernel]

It's a text chat? 🤷‍♂️

[red flame]

It's the way to find people that probably aren't worth playing with

[bold kernel]

... thousands of people find others to play with using that channel everyday.

[young trout]

theres not a text one but ok

[red flame]

yeah, and those are thousands of casuals, lol

The fun peeps don't use it

[untold solar]

Click the #pvp-lfg in this message and it'll take you to the text channel

But at least there is one

[bold kernel]

There's also the sherpa discord.

[red flame]

Sherpa can be a waiting game, but they will devote their life to keeping you alive

[bold kernel]

There's a lfg in the sherpa discord...

[red flame]

You must be new to the discord

I ask you lurk and see how fast that shit moves

Lol

[bold kernel]

I've been here since March of last year.

[red flame]

Then don't be like that.

[rigid galleon]

would anyone like to do a run on custom with me so i can learn ? nearly out of all of my gear and money. Havent extracted once yet..:P

[cloud violet]

how do i get my weapons vertical in my stash?

[red flame]

R

[bold kernel]

Don't be like what? Directing people to the proper channels?

[red flame]

No, lol. You are playing dumb on top of being it, now

[bold kernel]

K.

[cloud violet]

Thx

[raw slate]

guys i got a shroud mask, do i sell it to ragman? or do i wait till i get lvl 10 to sell on the flea market

[bold kernel]

Completing most of the Gunsmith quests for a cool 3.5m felt good

[bold kernel]

ragman

its nearly the same price

or keep it because you need one found in raid for one of the last quests for a big container

[bold kernel]

its only 24k

[twilit kestrel]

How do i hand items in to complete tasks?

[novel ridge]

go to the task, next to the subtask there will be a "Turn In" button

[bold kernel]

did the bug fix come out ?

[twilit kestrel]

do the items need to be 100% durablity? Because its not letting me

[novel ridge]

they may need to be found in raid

put a screenshot of the task window for me

[twilit kestrel]

They are but there is no turn in option

[novel ridge]

then it isn't correct

[twilit kestrel]

I have armor and a shotgun with the found in raid check on them

[novel ridge]

show me the armor

the items

[twilit kestrel]

at the very bottom

[novel ridge]

wrong

[bold kernel]

its this one

[novel ridge]

it's 3m armor(white) and a toz shotgun

[novel ridge]

yeah it isn't just random shit

[twilit kestrel]

Oh

[novel ridge]

he says it in his description

[mild gate]

stack your bags bro

and dont botherr using paca

[bold kernel]

Just if it says Tarbank on it just pick it

[novel ridge]

nah use paca

[mild gate]

no its a waste of money

[novel ridge]

paca + sks is the ultimate cheap kit for not getting murdered by scavs

[mild gate]

pretty much all ammo can go through paca theres no point of buying it

[novel ridge]

yeah, player ammo

but not scav ammo

[mild gate]

eh

[novel ridge]

unless you're wearing c6 armor, player ammo will kill you anyways

[mild gate]

will save you like one bullet from a pistol

[novel ridge]

so just go for minimum scav protection and don't waste money

[mild gate]

if there using a shotgun or anything there dead

[novel ridge]

it tanks two shots from ps to the chest which is the highest most scavs run

yeah but that's not unique to paca, shotguns kill you by turning you into a torso

[mild gate]

it has more of like a 25% chance of tanking it

[twilit kestrel]

I didnt have any armor so i just bought that

[mild gate]

do you have flea?

[twilit kestrel]

Not yet

only lvl 5

[novel ridge]

so use paca

[mild gate]

wait hold on

no get the armored vest from ragfman

ragman*

[bold kernel]

best place to find flash drive?

[mild gate]

its not bad and serves as a rig too

[raw slate]

would anyone be free to watch me play and give me some tips?

[novel ridge]

computers, more computers, higher odds. They spawn on the front of them(like real flash drives)

[novel ridge]

sure

[bold kernel]

been looking for hours none in top or anything

[novel ridge]

yeah they're kinda rare

[tough rivet]

safes

[mild gate]

try cabinet files too

[raw slate]

what channel?

[novel ridge]

your choice

[bold kernel]

ill join voice

[raw slate]

they're all full

[viral bison]

PCs, Scavs or craft them in Intelligence Center Level 2

[mild gate]

also take the mag and grip off of the adar it saves a spot, and just put it back when youre ready to use it

[twilit kestrel]

Ok, i just finished a raid and pulled that off a guy

[runic spindle]

hey just bought the game yesterday. can i keep running scav raids to build up my stash before i start playing as PMC?

[untold solar]

You can, there's a 20 minute cooldown between each scav run

[hearty walrus]

this pops up when trying to open the game

How do i fix

[twilit kestrel]

My game fucking crash and I got killed and lost everything. Im really loving this game

[coarse plaza]

Why does this game run so bad? Low usage. Forums going back 5 years with the same issues.

[nocturne basin]

New player looking for mature people to play with!

[crimson patrol]

anyone new needing some help, ill be running task and learning maps, DM if interested

[random mica]

[cloud violet]

am i allowed to ask for an ingame item ?

[sour heron]

Patch?

[cloud violet]

@sour heron ?

It has been a good few weeks exploring the world of Tarkov. I am finding myself wanting to play some Warzone runs for straight up battles with semi-fair odds. lol

you ever feel that way?

[cloud violet]

id understand half the context so no

[blazing heron]

which keys should i put out

[cloud violet]

any1 got a spare MP-133 shotgun?

[bold kernel]

what's the best way to get the damaged for armor for sew it good part 3

[cosmic tinsel]

imo the best way is to put on insured armor, go to a map with a lot of water (woods, shoreline), have your friend shoot you with not super dangerous bullets until its low hp, and then throw the damaged armor into the water so that it cant be taken

[bold kernel]

would going into a five man factory and then extracting after work too @cosmic tinsel

[cosmic tinsel]

of course

just requires you pullin together a 5 man factory group

you could also just 6b43 and altyn into factory and chad your way around for a bit

[fickle mauve]

is propane considered fuel for loot spawns or is it classed as something else?

[cosmic tinsel]

i dont know the answer for certain, but it seems to spawn primarily where tools spawn

there are some places where that overlaps (shelves in oli near offices, among others)

[fickle mauve]

also a 5 man factory is great, just make sure they are fine with you doing the quest andf get them to bring in a pistol or something, check HP and gear durability every few shots so you dont die

[cosmic tinsel]

but propane def spawns in the tool shelves behind goshan and i've never seen fuel there

[fickle mauve]

right at the back, the loading area part?

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, all thru there, all around oli

occasionally in goshan shelves

occasionally in construction areas in the mall, also factory buildings in customs, propanes not SUPER rare in my experience

it just likes to hide when you've got the quest 😄

[fickle mauve]

Aye it does

i know they can spawn in the big mechanical supply crates, anyone able to confirm if they spawn in small toolboxes?

[bold kernel]

Hey guys

Do I lose the compass if I die?

[fickle mauve]

no

its safe like your melee wep and arm band

[bold kernel]

Looking for exprience player who can guide me through this game and teach me how to get better. I want to improve in my pvp, looting and map skills. i also want to do quest hmu if you are intersting

[tawdry shard]

delete files and redownload

[kindred shell]

how do i get a compass

is it task related?

[agile forge]

One of the early tasks gives you one

[kindred shell]

thank you

[noble fog]

You can find one often in woods too, near to where Shturman is though

[cinder hawk]

why do i see people using m80 in guns like the MDR? isn't m61 better?

And I mean like geared people

[noble fog]

Because they can?

[cinder hawk]

I just soloed a 3 man where they all had thermals, altyns, and MDRs and they were running m80.

Well they're obviously picking m80 for some reason, but im not sure what the reason is

[noble fog]

Because they are being cheap KEKW

[cinder hawk]

its just really weird to wear altns and trijicon reap-ir and cheap out on ammo lol

[noble fog]

Good for you then x)

[cinder hawk]

I just want to know why 😢

they must know something I don't xD

[strong barn]

m80's are good enough to 1 tap most level 4 helmets
and good enough to dump into a tier 5 or 6 and kill the person behind it
m61 - m80 is a difference of like 2s~ kill time
If that matters to you--I guess spend the 1600+ a shot for m61
if it does not matter -- spend 600-800 rubles a shot for m80 and dump mags

Cant one tap an altyn with m80 (consistently)--but is twice the price per bullet worth that niche chance for an altyn wearing enemy? you decide

[cinder hawk]

Thank you! That's exactly the kind of info I needed to see 🙂

[strong barn]

I think 4-7 m80 rounds will zero or get a slick to the point where an m80 has a 90% chance to pen
m61 will go straight through it and kill the person in 1-3 rounds
this is the 2s~ kill time difference im talking about
then you consider how 'accurate' you actually are and if you will land those 2-3 shots every time in their chest etc etc

[cinder hawk]

I suppose m80 also one-taps to the chest on unarmored enemies which is worth noting. Makes scavs a little less annoying

[strong barn]

yes; m61 only does i think 67 flesh damage or 74 flesh damage but has 62 pen or something

So m61 will require two bullets to an unarmored targets chest to bring them down
if the target is wearing ANY armor; the m61 has a chance of 'fragmentation' and creating a 2nd projectile that 'fragments' and hits them twice--with one bullet = instakill

[bold kernel]

double toz?

lol

[strong barn]

because a player has 85 thorax health
m61 subtracts like 60 or 70 per shot; on average its a 2 shot to the chest with m61 on an unarmored target
its a 1 tap with m80 because it does like 87 flesh damage and has 42 pen @cinder hawk

[cinder hawk]

Makes sense

And those guys probably figured m80 was adequate because it was on woods and you very rarely run into anyone with good armor there. I'd say like 75% of people on woods are in class 4 or lower

[fickle mauve]

Forget the GPUs, i want that propane!

[strong barn]

This seems true; also sturhmans and his guards almost never have class 5 armor so its a good cheap way of killing him 🤷 (maybe his guards do but I think sturhman wears a tier 4)

[bold kernel]

lol

[cinder hawk]

I don't think Shturman wears any armor actually

just a lot of health

[strong jolt]

Tips for Reserve SBIH?

[bold kernel]

dome

[strong jolt]

fuck

[bold kernel]

and patience

[strong jolt]

knew you were gonna say that lol

[bold kernel]

yip

[strong jolt]

lame, oh well

[bold kernel]

highest spot

[strong jolt]

yeah

[bold kernel]

and free extract if u have rr and paracord

[strong jolt]

3 reserve sbih headshots is last thing for kappa so I guess my ass is camping

yeah I will grab a RR good point

been putting it off

[bold kernel]

i avg 800k+ a run now since i got rr

i can now run a backpack without shifting my route alot

it made my route even better

[strong jolt]

I usually just take D2

[bold kernel]

with almost no risk

[strong jolt]

safer than I expected

[bold kernel]

i got like 3 or 4 intel spawns more on my way + drawers and mil spawn

[strong jolt]

nice

[bold kernel]

oh and like 3 safes

• like i said i can carry a bag now

[strong jolt]

oh did you take manhole before?

[bold kernel]

if i loot ran yes

but even if i go geared for pvp now

i just didnt like d2

[strong jolt]

I like going for raiders anyway

which is why I don't mind d2

hop down there see if they spawn, then just head to d2

[bold kernel]

u can spawn em yuh

u know that right

[strong jolt]

indeed

[bold kernel]

but only if u really wanna farm raiders

gotta be lucky that they spawn down there after u get into raid

[strong jolt]

yeah they usually don't

[fickle mauve]

how likely am i to die during the ghezel plant for hot delivery?

[strong jolt]

but if I'm doing a pistol run for dropdown room or something, it's fun to try to bop them with a pistol and gear up from them

[strong jolt]

I didn't, but interchange kinda unpredictable

[bold kernel]

i run this on loot runs

[fickle mauve]

should i try and find a guard?

[strong jolt]

it would definitely make it safer, but I only play solo and it went ok

I didn't realize you needed 2 of everything though

and had to do it twice

[fickle mauve]

i did the headset and helmet plants, someone waited till i finished planting to kill me, so thank you random player scav

[strong jolt]

oh if all you have to do is the gzhels, that's way safer

interchange outside is pretty safe

but it's tarkov soooo it's never totally safe

[open lotus]

i got a vector for 45k should i use it

[upper iron]

800k a run and hides his $$$ from us

[bold kernel]

im on 3.3 mil rn

2.1 before last run

[cinder hawk]

@open lotus go for it man

[open lotus]

should i use a pk-06 on it?

[cinder hawk]

Vector is actually a nice semi-budget choice

[open lotus]

i have one non fir

[cinder hawk]

You can get them for under 100k and don't really need to do anything to them to make them good

yeah sure

[bold kernel]

u can put a vector together for under 200k

[strong jolt]

yeah

[bold kernel]

and its dumb broken

[strong jolt]

and if you use vector 45 the best ammo is pretty cheap

roughly 450 a round
