How do I turn in salewa kits for this task?
I turned in one a few days ago but can't remember how I did it, I have 2 in my stash
dire matrix
they need to have the little tick in the bottom left that says found in raid
gloomy hamlet
ah ok these don't, that must be why
plucky thorn
you have to find them in a raid and survive with them
it's to stop people from buying them from the market and using those for the quest
gloomy hamlet
I see, I did find them on a raid but they don't have the tick
dire matrix
items only get the found in raid tick if they spawn in raid or are crafted in the hideout

You might have run through or if you put them in your secure container and then died it will remove the status, as well as bringing them back into raid

Glock18C and Stechkin are both automatic pistols

five seven with ss190, you can get it from peacekeeper 3 i think
probably the easiest/best pistol setup
but it's not automatic no.

some ppl troll with rapid fire glock with those huge mags, i think they're in the ballpark of 40-50 rounders
but it's more of a meme u needa be crazy close
paper prawn
50 rounders
its scary when your in a room with it
if he hits you drop
fucking rich people
sour heron
okay awesome sauce. thank you
paper prawn
the 50 round mags cost a fucking ton
gritty orbit
fucking rich people
Yea it's pricey since the only way to make it really effective is by using APs or 7n's, but it's really really uncommon, died to it once in the last 120 hours
paper prawn
no i just got murderd by a rich guy
sour heron
are you seeing these glock attacks in close quarters like interchange, spa resort, etc?
gritty orbit
no i just got murderd by a rich guy
ok
lol
but you do realize that it's a pretty bad build overall, like real "rich guy" loadouts are 100x more threatening than a glock
any meta HK/M4/ Vector/RSASS/M1A does way more work than a glock can , that build is more of a trolly thing
(generally speaking)
paper prawn
oh yeah no im talking bout a hk guy

ok ok yea gotcha

make sure you have the excess money to build something like that, as great as it looks and performs bolt actions are just worse than DMRs. but yes that does look smexy
paper prawn
htf is tihs 200k

because that's what it costs
if you dont want it to be so expensive then look at what parts you could replace

oh shit no that looks right i thought it was 290k

what is the cheapset grip?
cunning kestrel
Depends what you want in terms of performance
dire rock
oh shit no that looks right i thought it was 290k
just saying 200k for an adar like that just isnt worth it, build what you want but id look into replacing some parts on that if your going for a budget build
paper prawn
yeah i know
cunning kestrel
The thing with Adars, is that you're better off going for a cheap setup, as you don't realistically need recoil stats like on an M4, go for cheap parts, and you'll get way more return out of your early games
paper prawn
haha id spend less on a m4 tf
dire rock
k idk why the slides so dumb but 50 rounders are expensive bc of vectors and the pk-06 is always around 50-60k

@sour heron Why wouldn't you replace that with an m4 lower?
so you have full auto too?

maiden sand
it's 20k tho...?
cosmic tinsel
7/8 shots hit. would think would be better than 0.68 accuracy
idk how the game got to .68, but the hits doesnt mean shots hit, it means shots hit + fragments
which is absolutely counterintuitive
sour heron
ohhhh that makes sense
sour heron
<@!643428045385891872> Why wouldn't you replace that with an m4 lower?
what is the part number?
sour heron
you gotta uncheck operational only when you search m4
okay
maiden sand
the lower part of it, aka the part that makes m4
but
it's better to buy from mechanic
sour heron
true.. I have not leveled a single trader haha
maiden sand
Ah, well, it is fairly cheep in general
maiden sand
There's a very good video on the M4dar, or aka the adar conversion, which I would recommend
paper prawn
i got out
maiden sand
Watch the first 7 minutes
that's all that matters
you can also just slot it in a normal Adar and make it an M4, so on single fire you still have an adar, but you have fullauto when needed
which is extremely important in this game!!!
Also I'd recommend you level traders, because being able to buy the higher level ammo will significantly increase your fighting potential thus giving you a foundation to increase your skills with it too
sour heron
okay great. Yeah I am a big YT'er. putting in my history.
maiden sand
Also upgrading the work bench will help you be able to craft much better ammo in large amounts for often cheaper, where you can either turn a profit or use them for yourself!!
sour heron
def. I like my new shooting range. only wish the other targets were available.l

maiden sand
both
cosmic tinsel
ha, they're both strong as heck
maiden sand
honestly
the combination of M61 and the Hunter without any mods just a simple scope makes one of the cheapest yet most effective things I've used
And the one taps feel so, so good
I love cheep weapons with easy modding because it helps me as a new player get used to how to use that weapon, type of weapon, and quickly be able to learn over and over again because of their cheep prices!!
Aka ap20, M61, Snb
cosmic tinsel
all great rounds. dont sleep on m80 either
maiden sand
Haha, I've just been crafting loads of M61 lately
so I've been finding ways to use it
Bp sks is also so fun
with a 35 round mag and my years of minecraft it's basically full auto

sour heron
Don't full auto though, it'll suck =D
@maiden sand what say you?
ewwww I do like the rapid-single fire....
feels good both ways.. I could get used to single or auto
maiden sand
@sour heron I say you should always leave a gun on full auto, till you need single fire
Think of it like this
ionic rapids
should I sell my money case that I found? I don't really need all that space for money
im level 15
maiden sand
If you're running around a corner, and then suddenly there's a pmc, do you think it'll be easier to hold down left click then aim it towards their head, or flick up to his head, and tap fire
Because in that situation, you do not have time to turn on single fire, you are in a moment of combat, and in that moment you need to react
however
south gate
Anyone wanna help me get better? Got this game 2 days ago
ionic rapids
xqcl
maiden sand
when you see someone at range, you have time to meditate, you have time to decide, in this situation switching to single fire does not compromise your safety
white pond
If you're running around a corner, and then suddenly there's a pmc, do you think...
hipfire if he is in close range
maiden sand
but my point still stands, single fire does have it's advantages, especially if you're not good at tapfiring and bursting
maiden sand
so, remember their strengths, and remember to always keep your gun on full auto unless you need it
make it a habit to check your mag and fire mode status after you fight
sour heron
👍
maiden sand
things like that will help you never have a situation where you turn a corner, and you hold down left click, and one bullet comes out into the chest of a guy with a paca and then you do to him killing you with a sniper at close range
in that situation with full auto you will win that fight no mater your skill 85% of the time
at least that's my opinion!

I hipfired at a scav that surprised me with the AK-74m at about 7m away and I pretty much hit everything except the scav after a whole clip 😂
maiden sand
@ionic rapids I'd keep it because there will be a point where you need to buy one, but if you don't mind liquidating it for cash influx then sell it
@cunning dragon P sure that one's one you lol
ionic rapids
<@!200428747931779073> I'd keep it because there will be a point where you need ...
but if I can sell it for the same price I can buy it for later why would I not just sell it?
maiden sand
Ahh my friend, you have forgotten the idea of a player driven economy
cunning dragon
<@!194785541093457920> P sure that one's one you lol
probably also shitty ammo I bet every limb had one bullet at least in it
maiden sand
And the core concepts of buying and selling, prices will change a lot over time, whether things get cheaper or more expensive is up to you, and massive brain people, and the team behind tarkov, to decide
So, say they halved the amount of cases found, that would effectively double their value
ionic rapids
well im getting mixed responses
maiden sand
but also over time more people will buy them so they become cheaper, more supply less demand
so, it will probably be around the same price if not less, but you don't know!
I'd recommend keeping it because it's just useful
but that's only what I would do

youll learn and associate the landmarks with quest/loot locations and its relation to the extracts as you play

and m80 would be effective against the class 4

BUT if you want m61 use m61
maiden sand
@cosmic tinsel True, but, the other guy I killed was in gen 5, so that M61 is what saved me
He was the one rocking the svds too

m80 is rated 5 out of 6 for class 5
its a great bullet
but m61 is indeed greater

I find using the best ammo to always be the wises course of action imo

yes
it's often a very easy way to implement open world

@bold kernel Hello, this is what we call a, "Go watch Pestily" situation, the way to solve it with very little effort is go watch Pestily
Aka I'll help you more if you'd like when I'm out of raid
but it's really all about landmarks
maiden sand
And trust me it gets very easy with time
unreal horizon
pestily on youtube has wonderful map guides. super in depth if you need to learn quick
cosmic tinsel
the shrap 10 slaps. go leg. its a one shot if you get all pellets, and it absolutely ruins their hp if you dont get them first shot
bold kernel
Will do, and sounds good, shoot me with a DM whenever you are out.
unreal horizon
if you can put his vid on a second monitor and run where he runs, even better
mossy ravine
dude he had no armor so i shot his chest. how does 400 damage not kill a naked guy
maiden sand
@bold kernel Honestly, go watch his videos on the specific map you want to learn about, make sure they're the latest, and try to remember the landmarks, look for them, compare them to a map, aka big railroads or roads or mountains or groups of houses in a specific way, and then locate your extract from there by reading the map!
maiden sand

there aint a gps, a map on a phone is your only map
I understand that, I use maps from google, but problem is that I rarely understand where I am at on the map to start with
maiden sand
Navigating maps isn't hard, it simply takes time and practice

look for structures.
wispy glade
You trying to look for quests or just general map knowledge?
cosmic tinsel
customs has one main road, and one river. finding either of those is the best way to get oriented when you're new i think
nimble willow
do a ton of offline mode
Well, with offline is that you don't progress at the game at all. I want to do quests (now need to get to the meds) and having hard time navigating to warehouse 4 basement
unreal horizon
i mean you do need to know the maps to accomplish anything
sour heron
@nimble willow you only need 5 minutes in offline mode.. just use it on occasion
no need to finish the whole raid.
maiden sand
I never used offline mode for much, scav runs are funner to learn maps when I was starting out
nimble willow
I did play offline Customs I guess for like 2 hours, didn't help much, it's not only 1 spawn point to start off
cosmic tinsel
i did scav and pistoling raids to learn
sour heron
yes, I use my Scav runs for my weaker map(s)
sage lance
you just gotta power through it
just keep running around and dying
or just go offline
nimble willow
Game is already difficult for a new players with so many things to learn, my biggest issue is knowing where to go in order to reach my goal / loot location
wispy glade
na or eu
nimble willow
Eu
cosmic tinsel
so you basically start in one of the red areas on customs
and have to work across the map
if you start left side, you need to get right, and vice versa
cosmic tinsel
why do you need to go warehouse 4?
nimble willow
But with random spawn locations, I have no ideas where I start in the map
For the meds in basement
For the taskl
task
sage lance
warehouse 4 is big red right?
ashen spindle
anyone know any good map apps?
cosmic tinsel
no, its next to shortcut
sage lance
ah yeah im an idiot
cosmic tinsel
But with random spawn locations, I have no ideas where I start in the map
you want to find the gas station
sour heron
mmmm juicy loot in office
cosmic tinsel
and then get across from the gas station
and then use my marked up red sections to understand where youcould be starting from
you cant be ANYWHERE, if that helps
follow the edges, look for the main roads and fences
there are two gas stations. the new one is in the middle, the old one is south middle
nimble willow
The map I use shows all spawn points, but I have to look at the map and ingame for like 3-4 min to even understand where the hell I started
cosmic tinsel
yep. that was me when i started too
wispy glade
what quest is it
maiden sand
if I don't recognize the spawn instinctively
cosmic tinsel
It's the salewa quest
wispy glade
oh
nimble willow
yea, you learn after time, that's how it goes, but problem is you have to afk sit for 5 min trying to figure out, gps would help so much
cosmic tinsel
Is what he's trying to do. It's not the only way but I guess he's got a guide telling him to do that and that's fine
nimble willow
And that is talking about only 1 map customs which is already one of the smallest ones
wispy glade
i was confused already, dont know a quest in wh 4

just run in a direction till you see something that's destinct
unreal horizon
oh shit just got rb-kprl on scav
nimble willow
You'll get there. Take it slow
Just by playing the game and the maps people learn eventually, that's how it goes, main problem is that for me it's frustrating trying to reach a goal for a quest and having almost no clue where to go
unreal horizon
is it the 1st therapist quest or what?
nimble willow
Yea
unreal horizon
you can get the salewas from a host of places, not just WH4.
maiden sand
isn't woods better for that?
nimble willow

Doesn't make sense. Youtube vids for everything.
grand plinth
Doesn't make sense. Youtube vids for everything.
he's saying learn by doing
sour heron
you do Pestily yet? he breaks down every trader's quest lines.
unreal horizon
yeah this game is near impossible without outside resources
grand plinth
wiki is my best friend
haughty tulip
Same
sour heron
you gotta be an all-in multi-tasker to play this game well. that is my oppinion.
maiden sand
Yea the wiki is my god
haughty tulip
Wiki is God
nimble willow
I tried to watch some, but the fundamental of the game is navigating through the map, even if someone says where is the best spot to find item for quest, how are you supposed to get to that spot when you have 0 clue where you are and how to navigate?
sour heron
wiki's, tools, maps, discord, this channel rocks. You just gotta do it man and stop complaining lol
haughty tulip
Die til' you learn
grand plinth
The best way to learn is by playing
sour heron
The best way to learn is by playing
naw... i disagree
sour heron
somethings you need facts!
grand plinth
go in, die, maybe learn smth, then go again
unreal horizon
^ hell yeah
grand plinth
thats how i got good at this game
haughty tulip
Are you good tho?
grand plinth
idk
haughty tulip
How do we know we chads
grand plinth
it depends
nimble willow
I really like the concept of the game, looting and getting out, progession, etc. lots of game mechanics to learn, but the basic of the basics going somewhere where you need (tasks) is like pretty much impossible at the start of the game, because of lacking navigation for beginners
haughty tulip
Do we get a chad DM us and inviting us to the secret chad discord?
grand plinth
so thats why i say i chad
haughty tulip
Where's the chad initiation tho
grand plinth
true
sour heron
I really like the concept of the game, looting and getting out, progession, etc....
why so worried about tasks? I am level 13.. for me I enjoyed Hideout upgrades. Explore. Relax. Have fun.
I have tons of Tasks to do still.. it happens.
haughty tulip
I don't even do tasks anymore
cosmic tinsel
I really like the concept of the game, looting and getting out, progession, etc....
This game is rough and obtuse. You're not wrong
unreal horizon
it's a learning cliff. watch youtube vids or play with experienced players. remember to have fun too
cosmic tinsel
It was worth the pain to me
maiden sand
^
grand plinth
i quit tasks every wipe when i get tier 4 traders
im just not interested in them past that
haughty tulip
Once Jaeger told me to go shoot a scav in the right ass cheek while blindfolded and after I found FIR vodka and a Ushanka hat
I stopped doing tasks man
haughty tulip
I don't have everything but
grand plinth
playing mid paced is the way
haughty tulip
I still just do fun stuff
grand plinth
i like running about with funny guns and doing funny things
and its hillarious because guns and armour dont matter only caliber
haughty tulip
I don't want no kappa
grand plinth
so sumtimes i get big loot
haughty tulip
Real men use Alpha/Gamma
nimble willow
Well, for me personally that's where the fun goes off the cliff, having no idea how to navigate without GPS (at least some kind of item at certain level in order to have basic goal for it), once having it, playing different maps you would have a clue where you are and which direction to go for looting / taks
grand plinth
Well, for me personally that's where the fun goes off the cliff, having no idea ...
its just memorization bro
maiden sand
u w u

Be lost until you are not lost anymore

At the beginning played Factory mainly (because of small map and easier to memorize), now moved on to Customs and know only few spawn locations, for other have no clue where I am at and where to go
grand plinth
to me this is funny
grand plinth
its goes brrr
nimble willow
I am already drinking, but doesn't help 😄
grand plinth
drinking gets my friends killed
grand plinth
same with smoking
maiden sand
love those 4 by 7 guns
haughty tulip
Drinking allows me to not worry about that bullet that went to close too my head
grand plinth
i went out super chad and 1 scav went crazy and headshot both me and my friend
and thats how i lost 2 hks and a slick

hes was ballin

somber wadi
Hey guys I'm struggling to make money during the day on shoreline, was told to try night, what do you think? Won't be going anywhere near hot areas.
smoky wing
Well
Do you need shoreline?
Because its not rly that good of a map
To make money
Especially if u are not going into hot areas
somber wadi
I don't need shoreline but its the map im most familiar with, the next being customs and after that its 0 on the rest.
dawn geyser
Reserve is pretty dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.
smoky wing
You can get 1mln+ per raid
If not more
What's rly meh about interchange
Is that you kinda need the good spawn
somber wadi
That's what I was seeing on some videos
somber wadi
Shoreline I can just go around looting hidden stashes
light cipher
I fell kinda dumb asking this, but at what point do you start looking at buying better ammo or better loadouts?
Do you guys set yourself a monetary goal to start running better sruff, or is it better to have vendors at x level?
Feel*
smoky wing
Sure let me ask you chance
Anwser*
So first question u have to ask yourself is
"Can i afford it"
There is no point in running 600k gear
When u have 1mln stash total
dawn geyser
My rule is can I buy this loadout 4 times
smoky wing
Same here but 10
Your goal should be to focus on BTC farm
So u can get passive income
For me right now, i get 2.5mln per day for nothing
Just being afk
That's how BTC is broken this raid
dawn geyser
wipe*
smoky wing
Yeah mistype
light cipher
So I'm level 11, I have about 5.5 mil. I usually just run pretty bare bones, sks or akm, ps rounds, maybe a paca and pens helm.

@light cipher aight are you EOD?
dawn geyser
So I'm level 11, I have about 5.5 mil. I usually just run pretty bare bones, sks...
Lol you're doing good for yourself!
smoky wing
Or not
light cipher
<@311212403847200768> aight are you EOD?
As of level 10, yes EoD. Decided to snag it on sale.
smoky wing
Good
So u have 4mln discount on BTC rush
So , get to level 20 by doing tasks
Setup a btc farm using your money
When u have at least level 1 with 1 gpu, u are set, aka you wont ever run out of money
About gear, try focusing more about AMMO than the weapon
light cipher
So, use my current money to upgrade hideout to get the BC farm going.
smoky wing
Aboid M4 and ak74m family for now
Because you need expensive bullets and mods to make them work
You can mod sks to make it a nice DMR/close range gun
light cipher
Yeah, I noticed the m55a1 and 955 I think is stupid expensive
light cipher
Nooooo....I'm such a cheapskate! It's like 1k a round on fle 😋
smoky wing
Just keep the surplus of ammo in your container, and take it out when u need it
light cipher
Flea
smoky wing
@light cipher yeah but its night and day difference
sly cape
any one want to help me make some money i only know customs and a little bit of inter change
smoky wing
Sks with BP can take on pretty much anyone
light cipher
It's just the sks sights. I know you can remove the rear, but just something about it.
Better to use the OP sks I assume?
smoky wing
And more than enough to kill most if not all meta helmets in one shot
Well i use op sks but modded
light cipher
Maybe I'm confused, there is cherry sks that I believe you can't mod, but the lighter looking one, if it has that side mount, you can mod?
Is that the op?
light cipher
That thing looks awesome
smoky wing
Sorry op version*
But still heavly modded
People like the OP sks version because of the dovtail
iron epoch
can someone help me do tasks im level 18 and this is my first wipe
smoky wing
Which makes mounting scope on them super easy
But thats about it, if u want bigger mags, more control , u need to swap the entire stock/body
Because the biggest downside of sks are the internal mags
Takes ages to reload them
light cipher
Alright, probably just time to start using better ammo first.
strange mica
LF duo shoreline. DM me
smoky wing
With different bodies, u can make sks "reloadable"
Aka u swap the entire 35 round magazine
Instead of loading it 1 by 1
light cipher
I'm assuming that comes with a heavy price tag?
smoky wing
Also friendly advice, if u are buying OP sks off flea market
Check if the dovtail mount is there
Some people take it out
Nah its below 100k
light cipher
Check if the dovtail mount is there
Yeah, saw that advice on a yt vid. Thanks though.
