Like it wasn't even the head

Should I just go ahead and sell my Korund armor or repair it? it's max durablity is at 42.9

why wont the game let me sell my roler

i can sell other stuf

but not it

[shut oracle]

Use it, default on korund is 45 i believe

[buoyant shale]

wth man how is fuel out of stock the moment its up again

are u kidding me lmao

i meant from Jaeger

[shut oracle]

Fuel has big shortages at the moment mate so expect it to go quickly and then cost a lot on flea.

[violet otter]

When i killed reshala and his guards i got like 4 kiver helmets and i just watched lvndmark kill them and he got altyns and gen4s

[spring talon]

Yo Wtf

I was attaching a part and my character did something like inserting a bullet

he did it like 3 times

and when someone came i could not shoot

[bold kernel]

It’s not found in raid

lfg duo, need help hitting mark room 3 more times, im level 13 i prefer a more experience player.

what is the best unmodded weapon? for like smg/ar?

[shut oracle]

Vector, you don't really even need to touch it

[bold kernel]

ah yeah i thought so is there any on the ar side?

[shut oracle]

Not really, most I can think of is the VAL which only requires minimal modding. I may be forgetting a gun though.

[flint mason]

hey anyone wanna help me get a better grip on the game im kinda new

[bold kernel]

alright i might try val out ty

[dire rock]

you can ask questions here if you have them or if you are looking for someone to go on raids with just ask either in LFG or here. however a lot of people dont like playing with newer guys so id recommend trying to get a friend to play with if you can

[flint mason]

yea i have came to notice the eft community is not the nicest to new guys ... but the issue is when the player base fails to help or teach new player the player base will stop growing @dire rock

[shut oracle]

That's why we heavily emphasise a sherpa system as a community because it gives newer players a reliable place to go for help.

Some players are 100% willing to help though, if you wanna run in a bit lmk just finishing up some work rn.

[flint mason]

@shut oracle so u just put in a sherpa rqst and wait ... and wait.... and never here anything back until midnight when im asleep with my wife so then u have to waitt and wait again and again

[drifting jolt]

We're pretty nice... there are some douches but usually we answer all questions...

[shut oracle]

Yea most people are here to help, answer questions and play.

[flint mason]

thats fine you dont have to unless you want to @shut oracle

[shut oracle]

I believe you talk to the Sherpa and find a time in which you can both play together.

Sherpa recruitment has been on the rise recently though so thats positive news.

[flint mason]

im really interested in these different types of ammos anyone got a simple way to explain them

[drifting jolt]

@flint mason what are your overall questions?

gotcha one sec

boom --> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Pp8tKScb0jB66cOCJSAlNn-iKERMXd9FVkSmSq83qn8/edit

[shut oracle]

https://eft.monster/

[flint mason]

yeahad the game for the past 3 wipes and have played a totalof 7 hours .....

[drifting jolt]

^ that's more a graph, mine is a #s chart

if you want a graph click skulls, if you want numbers click mine

[dreamy meteor]

why prices for reserve keys are soo low? 2 days ago those keys are soo expensive

[drifting jolt]

just the market

[shut oracle]

They aren't too rare and all unlimited use.

[drifting jolt]

yup, still dont like that chart lol

[sage rivet]

can any1 explain why reserve scav has such high q times?

[drifting jolt]

theyre raiders, not scavs

[flint mason]

skulz and mote thanks i like skullz chart alot

[drifting jolt]

either way lol, it's preference

[shut oracle]

No problem mate

Figured I would give a choice, if you like number and number go for motes but if you like pictures go for mine xD

[drifting jolt]

i soak in information better just looking at raw numbners

i cant fucking type lol

[shut oracle]

xD

[bleak jay]

Anyone want to help/participate in the guide task? EU

[chilly plume]

just died to a grenade launcher on customs lmao

[chilly kettle]

rip

[wispy iron]

anyone fancy helping a new player somewhat know the shoreline and custom map. UK 23 MIC

[drifting jolt]

shoreline is boring... just offline run it, and you'll see all the major shit... fucking easy map, just a lot of PvP at resort

[south oak]

is there a better way to store guns/ammo/parts cause I bought the standard edition and I'm running out of space in my stash

[wispy iron]

feel like running with someone whom has experience to help guide me through things would be beneficial

[drifting jolt]

take mags off and pistol grip on rifles to make them smaller

[wispy iron]

struggle to get out of riads alive 😢

raids*

[drifting jolt]

or use your phone

[wispy iron]

what are the best weapons to use where your low level

tried the sks but the iron sights are absolute jobbies

[drifting jolt]

one of the best options for a noob

[wispy iron]

its just the sight failry new to pc gaming and feel like a gun with a sight might be super beneficial

[green stirrup]

why are tetriz selling for 100k more than bitcoin is worth from therapist?

[wispy iron]

what maps are good for abit of practise on both looting PvE and PvP

[eternal creek]

hey im still new but I saw a lot of people saying customs

[green stirrup]

customs for a more real experience but woods by far if youre looking for as little pvp as possible

[wispy iron]

Which parts of customs should i avoid die alot in there hahaha

[green stirrup]

yeah but if youre careful around the factory area you can get around there safely more times than not

[bold kernel]

Roads and edge of map is main paths of travel. Sound is jank but if your sprinting your heard for like miles... same with moving through trees and bushes

That said chads rarely slow or fast walk around trees so if you path well and keep cover handy you can hear ppl in advance and ambush or reposition.

[graceful flax]

For Prapors, Ice cream cones task can you craft the mags?

[south oak]

for the prapor quest do I have to extract with the pocket watch thing or no

[graceful flax]

yes

[ashen spindle]

[final geode]

grz mate

[dim zinc]

I just found my first Tetriz should i sell it on the Flea for 700k or trade for a bitcoin?

[final geode]

@gritty lance where did u get the tank battery?

[gritty lance]

[lusty ridge]

[ancient oar]

how can i attach a sight to mp-133 for mechanic? ive got pretty much everything required other than i cant attach the sight

[steel narwhal]

you don't need a sight for gunsmith 1?

[vagrant kite]

Does the skill increase from skills like sniper or assault rifles apply to any weapons besides the ones they specifically apply to?

[steel narwhal]

if you're talking about laser pointer just use the plastic forgrip for hard drive barter from mechanic

[ancient oar]

tryna figure out what’s wrong with this

[opal moth]

bruh this is insane the servers have been straight poop for the past 5 days

make sure no ammo is in it

[ancient oar]

yep there’s none still not working tho

[opal moth]

did u use a yt vid on it

[livid river]

anybody in Na that wants to help me out in customes trying to learn the game all over again

[ancient oar]

nah

well sorta

but not 100%

[opal moth]

oo

[grim spruce]

yo, lookin for someone to help me with reserve (and/or help getting the red rebel)

[opal moth]

where do u find red rebles

[grim spruce]

sherman or barder

afaik

[unreal horizon]

schturman can drop

[opal moth]

oh alr thx

[barren trellis]

what is that?

[wind gulch]

shturman, barter and weapon box

[gritty lance]

? the beta container dawg

[wind gulch]

shturman's box also

[opal moth]

oh ok

[wind gulch]

it's nothing crazy you can barter for it for 1m8

[wind gulch]

thats more than 950 recoil

always read the requirements carefully when you do gunsmith tasks

dont just follow a guide and then "ugh i'm stuck this doesnt work help"

[steel narwhal]

@ancient oar you need a choke on it

also you can put a cheaper grip

the pk ll 1 grip, with a flat +9 ergo is enough

You can use the GK-02, you already have the adapter. They're quite common on scavs so you might already have it

[deft shuttle]

LF help to do Signal Pt 1 (Shoreline) and/or Bunker Pt 1 (Reserve). Don't know those maps yet.

[steel narwhal]

Or the remington tactical choke 12ga from skier 2

[worldly kelp]

should i keep or sell this key since there is none on the flea market

[south oak]

what's the safest way to do the checking quest?

go in there with no gear

and just rush the truck?

[plucky ginkgo]

ya

[ancient oar]

10mil on flea

thats how much you could potentially get for it

[worldly kelp]

bruh

[wind gulch]

you sell for 10 mil but you gonna get about half of that lol

[ancient oar]

i would say sell, the room can be profitable but if you want faster profit then might as well sell it

ledxs can spawn

oh yeah can someone sell a GK-02 muzzle break to fence rq

[lusty glacier]

whats that

[worldly kelp]

I think im just gonna keep it

for le meme

[alpine helm]

I would trade it for something on the flea if you arent gonna use it

[worldly kelp]

i dont know what its for yet

but ill find out

well i know what it is for

just not where to use it

[alpine helm]

its for the medical stash on interchange

[worldly kelp]

aight noice

ive run interchange like 4 times

thatll be fun

[placid tree]

Same here honestly haha

[bold kernel]

lf duo or trio, i need help running reserve mark rooms and also killing raiders if possible hmu. im 9 days new.

[cloud escarp]

can someone help me learn how to play?

i just started yesterday

[placid tree]

I mean I haven't played in about a year and just started playing again lmao

[cloud escarp]

ah

ok

[smoky wing]

@worldly kelp definitely sell

10m is kinda a misleading price

Because this key is often as high as 16MLN

Unless u run interchange over and over(like me) this key wont pay itself back

Cuz u need on avarage between 20 to 40 successful ultra runs (open and extract) for this key to return the investment

U will get much more money by sell it, and buying a set of keys for shoreline

Selling*

And u still will be left with around 5mln of cash

[wind gulch]

it costs him 4m3 to sell the key on flea at 10m

[smoky wing]

Anwser is easy

Dont sell it for 10M

This key is so rare and fee is so high that rarely people sell it for cash

Its 6m one day, 15MLN the other

Because on avarage there are 1 or 2 listings of this key on flea (for roubles)

I personally paid 7M for it

But i wouldnt pay 15 unless u live and breathe interchange

[weak orbit]

Anybody wanna play with a noob? I'm level 6 and struggling

[wind gulch]

use your power and disconnect the enemies's keyboards

ez

[smoky wing]

@weak orbit what are you struggling with

[weak orbit]

lol glad you get the reference but it also shows your age

[wind gulch]

[weak orbit]

@smoky wing not getting clapped

[smoky wing]

I wont play with u right now since i just got home, but if u want me to anwser any question regarding anything shoot

[torpid wind]

If you need/want help on customs dm me. i have a 2 man on there rn

[bold kernel]

lf duo or trio, i need help running reserve mark rooms and also killing raiders if possible hmu. im 9 days new.

[wispy iron]

anyone want to run duos uk

[ancient oar]

sure

[weak orbit]

@smoky wing Where do you shoot someone who's in full level 5 armor/helmet/visor, if you're only rocking a AK-74 with PS rounds? Spray chest/neck/face and hope for the best?

[smoky wing]

@weak orbit u dont rock PS in the first place

[ancient oar]

leg

[smoky wing]

^ no

[weak orbit]

i can't get anything better at the moment i think

[smoky wing]

@weak orbit get SKS/AKM with PS ammo

In tarkov
7.62 PS is okay while 5.45 PS is garbage

Will show you an example

Ak 74 PS ammo

akm/sks PS ammo

Level 3 faceshield is the most common faceshield u will encounter in tarkov especially on highly geared players

And while akm ps has no issue going thru it, ak 74 ps will struggle and require usually a second or third shot

[weak orbit]

i should switch over to AKM? derp

[smoky wing]

If u dont have access to good rounds? Yes

Ak 74m is awful anyway, for this gun to be top tier it requires tons of mods

Only then this gun becomes amazing

If u are running ak 74m stock u get nothing but weak round and huge recoil

And while AKM also has a huge recoil on its own, u can tap people with it just fine

[weak orbit]

that makes no sense to me ballistically, i own both these guns IRL....

well at least i can switch over most of the part kits to an AKM from my 74

[smoky wing]

^ because this game has "realistic balistics" aka moa and bullet drop

But penetration or armour in this game makes no sense

[weak orbit]

Oh Prapor sells 7.62 PS, so i can get that

[smoky wing]

So u have to ditch all the IRL experience

Yup cheap too

For example slick irl is just a steel platercarrier

Yet in this game slick can tank 338 lapua magnum

[weak orbit]

wait, all the AKM variants they're selling in the traders, i'm pretty sure they're all single fire

[smoky wing]

Also golden rule when it comes to ammo.
U either go with penetration rounds or flesh damage rounds

@weak orbit get SKS

Prapor sell it for 20k

Semi auto, no need for mags

[weak orbit]

but i wanna be one of the big boys and full auto....

[smoky wing]

For full auto you need mods

[weak orbit]

for semi-auto i managed to get a FAL off a guy, .308 HAS to have some good ammo

[smoky wing]

^ it has both terrible ammo

And best rounds in the game

There are 2 types of bullets

Penetration rounds and flesh damage

[worldly kelp]

I dont even have that kind of money

[smoky wing]

If u go with penetration (which u should 90% of the time)

U go for thorax or head

Flesh damage rounds, u go for legs

[worldly kelp]

Thats a good point

[slow bone]

can keys that have already been used sell on the flea? e.g. marked keys with 1 use left or some shit?

[smoky wing]

@slow bone no

[slow bone]

aight, good

[worldly kelp]

I jusr did an offline raid and got a ledx

[weak orbit]

I have only a half a stack of M61 ammo for the FAL nvm

[worldly kelp]

On the first try with the key

[smoky wing]

^ dont get used to it

I have 80 ultra med opened

Got only 18 or 19 ledx

[worldly kelp]

Sheesh

I dont know interchange for shit

Or any of the other maps

Im way to noob for the ky lmao

[smoky wing]

Ultra should be treated as a desert not a main course

[worldly kelp]

Aight

[smoky wing]

So if u run to tech spawns which are next to ultra

U can loot ultra as well

[weak orbit]

i can only run woods and shoreline Axealth dont feel bad.

[smoky wing]

But never go to interchange with sole intention of opening ultra

Because tech spawns or OLI are actually more money lol

Also keep in mind that if u take the key with u to any raid

You wont be able to sell it on flea anymore

(Excluding offline raids)

[worldly kelp]

Ye iknow

[smoky wing]

Also, ultra needs power to be turned on

[worldly kelp]

Ye i got that

From a video

[smoky wing]

So u wont even get to open it

[worldly kelp]

I really dont know

[smoky wing]

In some raids

[worldly kelp]

What to do

But i cant sell it yet bcuz the fea

I think imma just do what u said

And think of it

As a desert

[smoky wing]

Just wait. Collect money

Then wait for a good time window to put it up

List it for 13 or so Milions

[worldly kelp]

Im trash at that

[smoky wing]

Should be purchased in 20 minutes

[worldly kelp]

Noice

Highest ammount of money i had is 1.6 mill

[smoky wing]

U can also do a nice trick to avoid fee

List ultra key as a barter for , for example 18 tetriz

U can turn 18 tetriz into bitcoins and sell them to traders

And u will dodge a huge chunk of fee

[worldly kelp]

Bigbrain

[chilly plume]

ye do that

[smoky wing]

Disadvantage of this method tho is that most people does not rly have a collection of tetriz in stash

[chilly plume]

good idea

[smoky wing]

So u might wait much much longer

[worldly kelp]

but on the onther hand

[smoky wing]

Or not even sell the key at all

[chilly plume]

might wait longer but still i think someone wil lget it

[worldly kelp]

Or rather what should i do

With the key

Money*

[chilly plume]

or maybe

just use the key

[smoky wing]

Buy better keys

U can get top 10 best keys for shoreline

For like 4 or 5 M

[chilly plume]

just use they key to get money to sell the key lol

[crisp hedge]

Anyone can help me with some early wipe task, level 8, just trying to get to 10

[chilly plume]

ultra is interchange key

[smoky wing]

@chilly plume u cant sell the key

If u bring it with you lol

[latent ocean]

Guys mind i ask, will this mask stop me from being marked by scavs?

[chilly plume]

forgot lmao

mans trying to be as ratty as possible without being tagged and cursed

[latent ocean]

I want not to be tagged lol

man aint got money

[worldly kelp]

Aight

Tyvm for your help dude

[smoky wing]

And trust me

U will get x10 the loot from those keys

[worldly kelp]

Aight

[smoky wing]

@worldly kelp also google red keycard

[chilly plume]

its surprising how often people sell 6B13 armor FULL DURA for less than the price of a paca

[smoky wing]

There are certain rooms on shoreline resort

That can spawn red keycard

[chilly plume]

just sit on flea for like 1 min and easily get a class 4 armor for super cheap

[smoky wing]

Which is the most expensive item in the game

[bold kernel]

Hey so basically I got too excited after getting the flea market and wasted the 2.6 million rubles I had saved up on a few kits which I proceeded to lose

All I have rn is a backpack with some gear in it and 90k rubles what do I do? Do I risk losing everything in the backpack? Sell it?

Pic:

[chilly plume]

jesus christ dude

[wind gulch]

whew got silver badge and bearoil at the same raid

[bold kernel]

I had 2.6 mil :(

[chilly plume]

get better money skills @bold kernel

[smoky wing]

@chilly plume because we are currently at the stage of wipe where level 4 armours are close to useless

[bold kernel]

Ik

[slow bone]

is it worth getting the oli logistics department key from the flea? i feel that almost 400k is quite a steep price for just 1 quest

[chilly plume]

on customs it aint useless

[smoky wing]

Unless u running a high durability level 4 vest

It wont stop much

[chilly plume]

yeah i get that but on customs its not filled with geared chads so

alot of mid tier players with class 3 - 4 stuff so it works fine

[smoky wing]

And 6b13 is basically level 4 for first hit

Then it goes to level 3 or even 2

[chilly plume]

still better than a paca lol

[worldly kelp]

Tysm dude really appreciate the help cuz I had no clue what to do

[smoky wing]

Ofc its better

@worldly kelp no worries. Good luck on your raids

[maiden dawn]

hahahahahahahaha You sir screwed up. Why did you feel the need to blow 2.6 mil on 2 kits hahahahahaa

[worldly kelp]

Ty u2

[smoky wing]

^ also

If u are running budget interchange

[bold kernel]

I got too excited haha, made this one then got myself some armor vests and nvgs to do money runs at night on customs

Guess how that went

[smoky wing]

Get a shotgun

Example

https://streamable.com/syzd1c

If they dont have a faceshield its super easy to kill geared players

[slow bone]

what ammo is that?

[smoky wing]

Magnum buckshot

[slow bone]

so how does flechettes stack up to magnum?

i hear some people in favour of magnum and vice versa

[smoky wing]

Flech is close to garbage

[slow bone]

seems 50/50

[smoky wing]

Thing about flech is damage

[bold kernel]

I can confirm from my experience of 2 raids using flechettes that it's hot garbage

[smoky wing]

Buckshot deals 50 damage per pellet

So 1 random pellet hitting the eye or jaws will instakill a player

Meanwhile flech deals 25

So u need 2 pellets to hit head in order to kill

Also magnum is versatile while flech is not

Magnum can be used for both headshots and leg meta

[maiden dawn]

Ahh well, at least you learned something

[bold kernel]

Which map is the best for budget money runs?

[smoky wing]

Flech u kinda need to get headshots

[maiden dawn]

Interchange

[smoky wing]

@bold kernel interchange for sure

Want a nice trick?

[bold kernel]

Sure

[smoky wing]

Buy mp133 or mp153

And put the 8 round mag extension on it

[maiden dawn]

Left front offices in Idea have graphics cards and tetriz's

[smoky wing]

The gun is so long, that even if u die nobody picks it uo

Because you cant fit it in most backpacks

I went with 30 naked shotgun runs on interchange

I died 15 times

[bold kernel]

Lmao I've had trouble getting the long mp133's in my stash how can it be 7 slots long

[smoky wing]

Got 13 shotguns back in insurance

Insurance is around 6k roubles

So u basically on avarage pay 7 to 8k for a replacement shotgun

Also magnum buckshot is almost free if u have jager level 2

[bold kernel]

^ I don't

[smoky wing]

He sell them for 50 roubles per shell

[bold kernel]

Flea price?

[maiden dawn]

Love having a full stash and then 8 insurance jobs come in

[smoky wing]

@bold kernel 300 i belive

[bold kernel]

Bruh

[smoky wing]

If u run on super budget and u dont have jager

Get normal buckshot

[bold kernel]

So from what I understand never ever buy ammo on the flea because it's expensive as fuck? M856A1 do be like 1300 rubles PER BULLET

[smoky wing]

Its 40 roubles per piece and u can buy it from prapor and jager level 1

[vagrant kite]

I need some help from people to cheese a quest on factory it's really a pain in the ass.

[smoky wing]

@bold kernel depends

Ammo will almost always be more expensive on flea

M855a1 costs 5.60 usd from peacekeeper

[bold kernel]

@vagrant kite delivery from the past?

[smoky wing]

Which is 700

While flea market is 1500

[vagrant kite]

@bold kernel secure perimeter sadly

[smoky wing]

The thing about ammo is

[bold kernel]

Bruh

[smoky wing]

Some usually nest rounds

Best*

Are only avaible in raid

So u are kinda forced to buy them or look for em

That's why AP lapua is so damn expensive

[limpid wren]

can someone help me with some stuff to sell

[bold kernel]

Mhm k

Another thing: for the interchange money run is it just rushing all the OLI / IDEA offices and searching all the PCs or tryna get all the ground caches?

[smoky wing]

Being 40k per 1 bullet

@bold kernel depends

There are multiple strats

[bold kernel]

What's like the safest most reliable one

[smoky wing]

Usually its "quick , high risk high reward"

Or "longer, less risk less reward"

If u are first into tech stores

U can earn ton of money

Gpu is 1.2 MLN

Tetriz close to 700k

[bold kernel]

Lol once I went in as scav with like 11 mins left

Decided to check Tech light just to search for some bulbs or something and found a tetriz
How does a tetriz stay in techlight till the last 10 mins??

[smoky wing]

Easy to explain

People go there first

Miss it by accident

Then nobody goes in tech stores thinking they are looted

[bold kernel]

So luck

[smoky wing]

I killed a player scav 5 min before extraction

With gpu in his backpack

Pestily has a nice guide on "safe" interchange money making

https://youtu.be/phoBn7rnwHc

[wild grotto]

is there any1 i can run with im kinda new lv 11 hmu im from uk 25yrs old

[smoky wing]

He focuses on PCS and other less "hot" tech spawns

[worn hound]

Okay so doing Gunsmith 1 and have everything except for the plastic pump handle... any ideas where i can buy it?

[bold kernel]

And the last thing: is there any place where I'd have a solid chance of finding dead chad bodies around the end of the game? Basically just hoping to yoink whatever hadn't been looted yet

[smoky wing]

@bold kernel yes

Next to brutal/Kiba

[bold kernel]

Where is that¿

[smoky wing]

People go there to kill killa

And usually die in the process

In the middle of the map

Right in fron of rassmussen

[shrewd arrow]

Is it possible to spawn into an empty labs server

[smoky wing]

No

[shrewd arrow]

It's like 2am where I am and uhh I've had two runs with basically no shots at all

[maiden dawn]

Yes

[maiden dawn]

Offline haha

[bold kernel]

Oh ok checked the map that's quite close to oli

[shrewd arrow]

and when it's 10 minutes left there's basically no bodies anywhere

[smoky wing]

Basically it shouldn't be possible

But could be a bug

[shrewd arrow]

twice in a row?

[smoky wing]

Usually game waits and waits

[weak orbit]

anybody wanna play? i'm brand new

[maiden dawn]

I did two runs in interchange last night by myself.. Straight after patch. It's possible dude

[smoky wing]

No shots? No extracts being powered up/open?

[regal mulch]

anyone have a quick chart of whats the good ammo vs shitty ammo?

[shrewd arrow]

parking was, all I found was two raider bodies on first floor and I rounded pretty much everywhere

[smoky wing]

@regal mulch tarkov wiki/balistics

@shrewd arrow so there were players

[bold kernel]

Thanks for the help @smoky wing ! I'll defo try out some money runs tommorow and if I grow some balls maybe even take that kit with me 👀 gn

[maiden dawn]

eft monster

[shrewd arrow]

well yeah most likely but running around for half an hour in an empty server?

[smoky wing]

Could be a 5 man group

[shrewd arrow]

after they extracted that is

but what are the odds they just don't open most of the big loot doors and extract with two raiders worth of loot

[smoky wing]

Depends

Sometimes people go labs not for moneh

But for quest

[shrewd arrow]

hmm, true

[smoky wing]

Like kill raiders or find certain items

[shrewd arrow]

still baffles me

[smoky wing]

They get it, they get out

[bold kernel]

Waait what's the difference between scavs and raiders? Same thing or..?

[smoky wing]

Same but different tbh

Raiders are scavs with much better equipment (usually) more hp, better AIM and they speak both russian and english

[bold kernel]

O ok

[smoky wing]

They do count towards scav kills

Tho

Raiders are only on 2 maps

Labs and reserve

@bold kernel i got a nice video gimme sec

[bold kernel]

Welp I don't play either of those 2 so :p

[smoky wing]

https://streamable.com/c9bec5

Example on reserve

Killing them with 10 round saiga 9 was a nightmare

They spawn with random weapons

Sometimes its shit

Sometimes its almost meta

Tons of grenades and meds

I feel like raiders are best place to farm nades

[bold kernel]

Ooo ok
So they are basically scavs but smarter and stronger but under something like glukhar

[smoky wing]

8 raider kills can give u up to 40 nades

@bold kernel nope

Raiders have no captain

They spawn together then spread out over time

On the certain part of the map

The "scavs" u are referring to are boss guards

Bodyguards *

[worldly kelp]

Reserve

[polar brook]

Newbies welcome, LFG (2-3 more slots open) DM for invite to private discord. OG player thats fine to lead and help anyone as long as they follow instruction

[smoky wing]

@worldly kelp yeah was lucky

[pure marsh]

I lagged out and this was my warm welcome back

[smoky wing]

That all of them spawned without helmey

[worldly kelp]

Noice

Reserve is abuses me

[smoky wing]

So i could actually kill them

With 8 pen round

[worldly kelp]

But also gives me godloot

Noiice

[smoky wing]

I do scav runs on reserve

[worldly kelp]

I love reserve

[smoky wing]

And kill raiders that way

[worldly kelp]

Yeah me2

Its ez money

But i rarely survive since

Im ass

But ye

[grim spruce]

omg, I need red rebel/solar power so bad

[delicate siren]

what does solar power get you?

[grim spruce]

50% fuel consumption reduction

[delicate siren]

!!!!

[grim spruce]

If yer willing to grind the 4 aesa's, 25k euros and max out peacekeeper

[maiden dawn]

haha unlucky dude

[urban bear]

looking for someone to teach me interchange ) (EU)

[timber delta]

yo could anyone add me and call me? im a complete beginner and i need serious help lol

[burnt grail]

Is there a cheaper option for a long/short range combo site than a hamr? I dont really know how to look.....

[spiral turtle]

hamr/bravo are similiar, you can try elcan it has ironsight on top
or just a pso and hipfire with a laser for short range

[austere temple]

Anyone able to help me quickly unlock jaeger in woods?

[maiden dawn]

Just go in and play. There are only two main extractions to learn. Interchange is easy,.

[maiden dawn]

It's easier to play solo than in a group

[mental herald]

Brand New To The Game, Looking for someone to show me the ropes.

[steel narwhal]

AND fuel is gone

barely 20 seconds

[bold kernel]

any noobs wanna play w me i just got the game

[drifting jolt]

hit up @mental herald

[bold kernel]

k

[lapis hill]

anybody down to play im really new and need help

[south oak]

anyone down to do scav reserve

I'm new af but level 6 and sorta know something

I just wanna kill a few raiders and extract

[lapis hill]

im lvl 6 also really new dont really know what im doing

[delicate siren]

what should i sell on the flea vs sell to traders
and what order/ who do i goto

[slow bone]

why is 7NI more popular than SNB ammo for the mosin, despite SNB having better pen?

i dont see why 6 damage makes the difference

[vast raven]

how the hell do i do stirrup lol

and also get flash drives

[raw slate]

I did stirrup on factory. Rushed the other spawn points and went for the head tap

[wind gulch]

enough to one shot thorax up to lv4 armor

[placid pivot]

yayyyy would you reccomend keeping or selling

[agile forge]

What’s the status of your hideout/bitcoin farm?

[spiral turtle]

keep that shit

u got 11mil ur fine

[agile forge]

Definitely don’t just keep it. If you want a thicc case, sell that one on the flea, then buy one of the therapist barters. You’ll save a few mill

But depending on the current state of your bitcoin farm and how much you play, investing in your bitcoin farm could be more lucrative long term

[placid pivot]

well i play all day when i can but its my first wipe and just getting grips with game

i need to do jaeger tasks

to get my bitcoin farm @agile forge

[restive brook]

anyone want to run trios with me? we are to level 14's

[opal moth]

What trader gives you thicc boi

[restive brook]

therapist

[opal moth]

Thx

[restive brook]

nvm thats lucky scav box

[opal moth]

I

[shell sable]

What Server? and what you guys up to?

[opal moth]

Oh

[restive brook]

just completing tasks and looting

[shell sable]

EU/NA-W/NA-E?

[restive brook]

na-e

[round ridge]

anyone else have to wait a long time for confirmation email after buying the game?

[restive brook]

yea i had to call my bank to get the amount

[round ridge]

to ge tthe amount of what?

[bold kernel]

I am at 12 minutes into Reserve matchmaking, is this normal? Scav btw

[restive brook]

when you buy the game, they send like two different amounts to verify your card. with it being from russia they lock it out and you will have to call and get the amount they are trying to verify. once you get that just put it in and do it again

[round ridge]

Oh they temporarily take less than $2 to confirm your card right? is that what you mena?

[echo mica]

I usually reset after 10 min mark

[swift smelt]

what bullets does a fast mt tank?

[silver hornet]

it's a class 4 helmet so anything with less than 40 pen won't 100% penetrate it on the first hit

[swift smelt]

this thing?

[steel narwhal]

that's a class 3

so around 30 pen

[swift smelt]

bruhh

[steel narwhal]

Mostly stops pistol caliber, and even then 7N31 and Ap 6.3 will shred it

[swift smelt]

so whats the point of it

[steel narwhal]

It stops smole boolet

[swift smelt]

rich people also use this?

[steel narwhal]

For PVP you would see Exfil with faceshield if they still care about their hearing, at least it has high ricochet

[swift smelt]

exfil uses this faceshield?

[steel narwhal]

no, exfil uses their exclusive faceshield

Still class 3 tho

[delicate siren]

what should I do when i'm waiting for insurance/ my scav

[swift smelt]

so same thing

[opal moth]

How expensive is it to run these helmets

[steel narwhal]

If you really want to tank headshots people go with altyn and maska (with faceshield obviously)

[opal moth]

Can’t you not hear anything with Altyn though

[swift smelt]

yh i run altyn a lot of times but when i do, i never get hit in the head

[bold kernel]

Rate my strat: Hide on reserve until raiders spawn and someone else kills them and pickup the scraps lmao

[opal moth]

Smart strat lowkey

[steel narwhal]

I just go no helmet

[swift smelt]

on scav?

[bold kernel]

No lmao

Im using a scav loadout thoguh haha

[swift smelt]

bruhhh

[opal moth]

I know the helmets I use are useless hut going no helmet just feels weird

[bold kernel]

i am uh, bad. lots of deaths today

[swift smelt]

ah

[bold kernel]

isnt this a meme

[steel narwhal]

occasionally you get 360 no scoped by AI shotgun scavs but I feel like I save a lot more money compared to what helmets do for me

[opal moth]

Idk lol but I know people use no helmets

[silver hornet]

your hearing is impacted pretty heavily while wearing an Altyn but you can still hear shit

[opal moth]

Oh alright

[silver hornet]

decent trade-off

[opal moth]

True

[silver hornet]

not being able to hear anything but your head is covered in class 5 protection

[swift smelt]

i run altyn when i have a duo

[bold kernel]

so its not a good strat then lel

[opal moth]

Yeah id def feel safer running with another dude who has comtacs or somethjng

People do be sneaky sometimes

[steel narwhal]

I run tackek with FAST faceshield on factory

[opal moth]

Bruh you prob wipe the place every time

[steel narwhal]

I feel like it's decent price for face protection against being meme'd on by shotguns, I'm too cheap to invest in a altyn or some shit just to get leg meta'd by a ks-23

btw tac-kek and shattered mask does protect you against some shotgun shells

Even kolpak (not that you should use it, ever)

[opal moth]

Kolpak is such a good helmet

[swift smelt]

can you put a faceshield on this? and if yes which one

[steel narwhal]

link search it

only the black one can use faceshield iirc

[swift smelt]

so no face shield on this?

[steel narwhal]

no

[swift smelt]

bruh

[grim spruce]

ftw the helmet is called exfil and doesn't have a faceshield

[steel narwhal]

The TC800 and lzhs light helmet also take the FAST faceshield if you're into that,

And you have LSHZ as a budget full head protection

[swift smelt]

idk need peacekeeper lvl 4

is there a point to buy ones with 30-35 durrability? with a hole in them

[bitter crescent]

So I wiped 3 squads of 5 cultists looking for pestily mask and no luck

what else should I try

[meager folio]

anyone trying to help me

just started

[elfin gale]

@bitter crescent keep trying, I found 2 while casually looting lol

[wind wyvern]

anybody knows which map can I easily find antique teapots?

[round ridge]

Moonshine scav case

[round ridge]

Do safe runs on customs

[novel ridge]

can you use painkillers with jager pain quest

[drifting jolt]

it's a real crap shoot, dont know that they have a dedicated spawn, scav case, or randomness is your best bet

[drifting jolt]

which one was that?

be under the influence?

[novel ridge]

negative, be in pain and kill 3 scavs

[drifting jolt]

nah, dont believe so... but i dont quite remember, im sorry 😦

double check the wiki

[final hill]

Wanted to play one last raid for the night and of course

[drifting jolt]

reconnect...?

[final hill]

It wont let me

[opal moth]

So annoying it happens all the time

[final hill]

I click, it loads, then says "Game aborted"

[drifting jolt]

also you could try joining a group in #pvp-lfg and tag along and just ask they go near there for you

[inland cliff]

will someone guide me through shoreline extracs? If they have spare time.

[drifting jolt]

there's only 4...

tunnel or road to customs are always open

rock passage is open if the green phosphorus smoke is there, pier boat is shit

you have to run all the way to pier to see if it's open... there's no indicator

[inland cliff]

i know m8 its just my first wipe and second time playing reserve

shoreline*

[drifting jolt]

reserve or shoreline?

[inland cliff]

sorry

[drifting jolt]

im confused? you need help finding them or? just use a map...

[inland cliff]

[drifting jolt]

face palm

[inland cliff]

im just asking chill

[drifting jolt]

[fast barn]

whats the best way to level up to 10?

[drifting jolt]

questing, my friend

headshots also give more exp per kill than chest or other parts

[fast barn]

awesome ty

[drifting jolt]

@fast barn if youre not comfortable questing quite yet, you def dont have to, but it helps... if youre confident then go ahead and give er a go

[sullen cairn]

or farm scavs and loot things for xp

[drifting jolt]

well yeah, kills give exp for sure

[fast barn]

im level 8 and have played previous wipes i just am kinda tired of waiting for flea market

[drifting jolt]

you need 57k total exp for 10

youre so close...

[eternal idol]

any way of lvl peacekeeper faster? need him at lvl 2 at least to finish a tank but he buys things for so cheap

[maiden dawn]

Peacekeeper cheap? It's a different currency mate

[eternal idol]

i know

[red tartan]

[main dagger]

Where is the best place to complete this task?
https://very.sad-boys.club/qGAl7VwR

[frigid delta]

med house on customs near ruaf is an easy place usually

[steel narwhal]

Just buy dollars?

[dawn geyser]

Yes, what Roof Koreans said - You will end up spending a ton of dollars in the future for ammo as well

[frigid delta]

is it worth to complete gunsmith pt 16

seems very pricey

[dire matrix]

you get the reap-ir back

[cinder hound]

No

dont buy dollars

😮

@dawn geyser

wya

[steel narwhal]

[dawn geyser]

o-o

let me join

[dawn geyser]

I'm just watching youtube right now! Lol

[fallen ferry]

anyone wanna play wit a noob llmaooo

just got the game

[dawn geyser]

I got Kappa last night though

[cinder hound]

Kappa?

Wow poggers

@fallen ferry

try to join a beginner channel tbh

i know they are full

but just wait till someone leaves

they are most helpful out of all the other channels

I have had people straight up ask me

what lvl i am

[fallen ferry]

which one? does it matter?

i jjst wanna play and have fun tbh

[cinder hound]

and if i said anything below 30 they switch channels

[dawn geyser]

Just find someone that sounds nice 😉

[cinder hound]

ya just join any beginner channel

and try to find some nice people

also take whatever people tell u as "advice" with a grain of salt

[rustic estuary]

^

[cinder hound]

cuz theres no real right advice, and there are different advice for different playstiles

[dawn geyser]

Or you could run that advice through here and get multiple opinions =p

[cinder hound]

theres alot of people who straight up act like they know the game but dont know shit

^

that too

[rustic estuary]

^ That's what I thought you meant lol.

[cinder hound]

its both

cuz theres different advice u will get from different people

like legit i would tell u sell all ur guns until u hit lvl 10 if ur standard account

and straight up use sks and ps from prapor

but thats playstyle right

[dawn geyser]

eh pp-19 and mp5 is very worth keeping and using for low level

the ones they give you in the beginning

[cinder hound]

^ if u run out

[dawn geyser]

o

[cinder hound]

like

if they get a meta m4

and like half a mag left

i would sell that shit or hold on to it until im lvl 10

standard cant hold much so i would prolly sell

[fallen ferry]

yeah im trying to get level 10 rn

[cinder hound]

rip u joined the one channel playing league of legends right now

LOL

thats why i left

[fallen ferry]

sameee lmoa

there were playing leagues was mad funny

[cinder hound]

the thing i dont like about the channels below beginners is that

like if i join any

JOIN THAT ONE

@fallen ferry

goodluck

[fallen ferry]

thank youuuuu

[cinder hound]

as i was saying, if i join any of those channels, alot of the people play only that map

and they like play it super crazy like they already have everything mapped in their heads

[fallen ferry]

thats what i want so i cna learn tbh

cause i do wanna steram it but not mess it up

[cinder hound]

try to get proficent at one map at least

stream it and mess up

[dawn geyser]

Do noobs really leave if you don't say above 30?

[cinder hound]

thats part of the content

Yea

[fallen ferry]

i meann yeahh lmaooo

[dawn geyser]

[cinder hound]

i was playing on my 3rd

and they asked me to stream my game

[fallen ferry]

tails wanna run some! lmao

[cinder hound]

to see what lvl i am

im good ahaha im just chilling

[fallen ferry]

could use the carry

[cinder hound]

sorry

if u see me in the channels feel free to join, but i generally join the channels to watch noobies play and give advice

@dawn geyser they asked me what lvl i was and asked me to stream

and they saw i was like lvl 18

and straight up said ya no

and dipped

[dawn geyser]

lol interesting, did you say it was your other account?

[cinder hound]

even tho im lvl 38 and lvl 30 on my 2 others

[dawn geyser]

Feel free to just blurt questions here if you run across one - Tails & I will race to answer it

[cinder hound]

no they didnt give me a chance]

LUL

[dawn geyser]

That's not cool lol.

[rustic estuary]

? That's so silly

[cinder hound]

Like my lvl doesnt measure how good i am at the game

i was prolly better than them tbh

[fallen ferry]

ok sweet!! thank yall

[dawn geyser]

Good luck!

[cinder hound]

ya are the peopple in that channel p chill?

legit just let them know u just started and most peoplee are super nice

I just lost all of this cause my internet crashed

im on a hotspot rn

biggest scav raid i've ever had

i was mid transfering the loot

[dawn geyser]

Hotspot is not the way to go

That sucks man

[gritty lance]

no, my real internet went down cause of snow and shit im on a hotspot cause i was trying to get my loot☹️

[dawn geyser]

oh no ;_;

[gritty lance]

i killed 4 raiders with t45 ammo just to die to my internet lol, i had to be stopped ig

[cinder hound]

F

[gritty lance]

[knotty topaz]

is scav case worth building?

[dawn geyser]

Yes, also a good way to raise trader rep

Flea market rep*

[grim spruce]

how many graphics cards should I put into my BTC farm before diminishing returns?

[drifting jolt]

no diminioshing returns

just keeps taking time off'

[naive atlas]

there is diminishing returns

theres a graph somewhere

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/images/9/9c/BTC_time_to_graphics_card_chart.png/revision/latest?cb=20210110101813

[candid bough]

anyone have OLI Logistics key, I really need help with Ragman Database 2 quest

Looking for help on EU
Map: interchange
Goals: complete Ragman " Database 2 " quest

[drifting jolt]

diminishing returns would be if the graphics cards gave you less money as you put more in

if time keeps getting taken off the timer, that is not diminishing returns

It keeps returning quicker and quicker per card... You get less off the timer per card, but that's still not diminishing returns

[south oak]

can I spawn with red rebel ice pick as scav

I think my friend might be trolling me

he said he spawned with it

[naive atlas]

@drifting jolt less time taken off as the prev card is literally diminishing returns

if it was a linear relationship

the graph would be a straight line

like 1 hour off per gfx card

[drifting jolt]

but youre not losing anything...

youre only gaining

[naive atlas]

diminishing does not mean you are losing something

it means you get less as you put in more

[drifting jolt]

IRL yes... but in game... there's no point in which having more graphics cards will actually be a negative thing

would you rather have 45 or 50 cards farming?

you only get like an hour for the last 5

[naive atlas]

diminishing is not a negative thing though

i think you are confused

[dawn geyser]

Well it's about spending that extra 6 mil for +5 cards

[drifting jolt]

probably

[naive atlas]

its just the function of how it works

[drifting jolt]

maybe there's another term im looking for

[naive atlas]

its like getting skill exp ingame

it diminishes

theres a cap until you barely gain any

[drifting jolt]

yeah you right... im dumb

lol

Diminishing returns, BUT you still want 50 cards... lol

[naive atlas]

yep theres no point not getting 50 cards if you can do it until maybe near end wipe

[tawdry shard]

how often is it at 50 cards ?

[dawn geyser]

I would also consider how much you play the game

[naive atlas]

@tawdry shard ~ 6 hours

[tawdry shard]

wasnt it 6 hours at 10 last wipe ?

i was getting one every 6 hours but i did not have 50 cards in

[naive atlas]

i forgot what it was last wipe but the times did get increased

[tawdry shard]

yeah by a lot

[naive atlas]

probably due to btc prices going from 100k to 600k lol

[tawdry shard]

ye also fuel consumption is less

[regal mulch]

so i got the scope mounts for the weapon i use how can I tell if I can use a scope i buy off flea market for the rifle?

how can i tell before i buy it

[naive atlas]

you can right click the mount and do a linked search

[regal mulch]

ty

[zinc fiber]

if anyone needs a guide, quest help, or just want to learn the game cause you're new DM me, ill be glad to help!

[grizzled briar]

how much is this worth?

[dawn geyser]

You're talking about flea?

[grizzled briar]

yea

[dawn geyser]

[shell sable]

[dawn geyser]

[cinder hound]

[shell sable]

[dawn geyser]

I wonder how much FF happens in these channels

[shell sable]

[dawn geyser]

Friendly fire

[cinder hound]

im mad

I saw a graphics card on flea

guess what I did

[dawn geyser]

I saw a card on market for 126k, poor guy missed a 0

[cinder hound]

bought 8000 euros and its gone

[shell sable]

dont you have all of them yet

[dawn geyser]

I didn't get it in time though

[cinder hound]

now i cant use the euros

[dawn geyser]

It's icase time

[knotty topaz]

yo I need some help with a few collection quests, will you be on later?

[zinc fiber]

probably for another hour or so

[knotty topaz]

oh I cant then rip

does the sherpa server help with quests?

[bold kernel]

so if I have the standard edition of the game and buy eod do i get the stash size upgrade and the gamma container right away becuse someone told me u need to reset profile

[cinder hound]

yes

u dont need to reset

[shell sable]

@bold kernel instant

[cinder hound]

[zinc fiber]

they try to when they can

[dawn geyser]

I think reset was an old thing

[cinder hound]

[shell sable]

Reset was a old thing you had to do

[cinder hound]

very old

whoever told u that info

[knotty topaz]

[cinder hound]
