[reef prairie]

sp-6

[bold kernel]

oki

[reef prairie]

has 46 pen

if youre on a budget you could even run sp-5

that is really cheap, something like 200 rubles a round

[bold kernel]

think ama mix em

one sp6 every 2 sp5 something like that

[acoustic heron]

m855a1 isnt cheap...

[bold kernel]

cheaper than m995 lol

[acoustic heron]

true

[reef prairie]

isnt that pretty tedious?

if you only run 20 rounders, better get sp-6

[bold kernel]

it is but I really don't have anything to do lol

I got this val of the flea for 230k which I think is a steal because
VAL - 100k
30 round - 50k
shift - 100k
moe stock - pretty expensive
TOZ SP29M Mount - I can't even buy it
eotech - 200 bucks or so

[reef prairie]

its not that bad if you can buy from trader

[acoustic heron]

isnt it like peacekeeper level 3

[bold kernel]

yea pk LL3

[acoustic heron]

i just got around to doing his first task

[reef prairie]

idk

oh

[acoustic heron]

ive been sitting on it for a while

[bold kernel]

I am just now doing his second task ( marking the t90s )

[acoustic heron]

every time i go shoreline i just end up bum rushing resort

his second task is marking cars on customs

[cosmic tinsel]

sp5 in a vss is dirt cheap

and pretty good

[acoustic heron]

LAV's

[bold kernel]

biggest issue is the mags lol

[reef prairie]

i wouldnt pay high prices for something like the shift, not worth it

[bold kernel]

30 rounders are 50k

[cosmic tinsel]

i just run 20rounders

[acoustic heron]

true 30 round mags on vals are stupid

not as bad as mp7 40 round mags

those sell for 100k unless you got mechanic level 4

[reef prairie]

theres a good barter, but i dpnt know which traderlevel

yeah, its stupid

the shift is what, 80k?

[acoustic heron]

yeah

[reef prairie]

its under 20 from trader

[bold kernel]

90k rn

[acoustic heron]

i love kiba with a passion

once made over a million even with splitting loot 50/50 with my friend

not even the reap-ir ak in there

found it once but got exit camped

[bold kernel]

how much this all would've costed me

[reef prairie]

especially early to mid wipe you can make a lot of money with mags and attachments

find a fir mp9, the mag is worth more than the gun

[acoustic heron]

yeah this wipe is weird, attachments and ammo are selling for a ton while keys are super cheap

i bought key with tape for 70k already made my money back about 10 times over

[reef prairie]

that key was stupid expensive early wipe

then i found one and it was down to 70k already

[bold kernel]

oof I have that key but am too scared to go to the resort

[acoustic heron]

i only go to resort with my friend cause when i go alone there is always a 4 man lurking

[cosmic tinsel]

the good-ish new is that tape key is just barely inside the front door

on the first floor

[acoustic heron]

yeah if you get rock passage spawn you get it first every time

brb

[bold kernel]

game lagging big time

got disconnected before I even loaded in 👍

[reef prairie]

happens a lot

usually you can reconnect before the raid even starts

[prime cedar]

when you get to level 10 should you be doing more quests or going for money

[crude rain]

How do people get the Walker headset?

where can you find them at

[bold kernel]

wtf I spawned in as a scav and I don't think there's anyone here

repair shop unlooted
caches unlooted
building next to repair shop ( with the technical crate ) unlooted
Not a single bullet fired

[crude rain]

i feel that but in labs

[timid pewter]

yo whats a good *shotgun for just rushing and dying in factory bruh

[bold kernel]

ks23

[crude rain]

did they get rid of green labs card?

^yea ks23 kind of op just aim for the legs with the sharpnel 10

[eager yarrow]

loading into labs and the matching was 7 minutes which is long as hell so i decided to back out and now im sitting here on the leaving game screen

Can I close my game and reopen it?

nvm it finally backed me out after 15 minutes

[random ridge]

ive made easily 1 mil from people doing punisher on factory this weekend

just running ks23

killed a few hexgrid people which I find mad who runs that on factory

[barren trellis]

my god shoreline is such a trash map

[dusk field]

trying to learn labs

[random ridge]

really?

ive never ever played shoreline

that and interchange are two maps I need to learn for quests but just havent

[barren trellis]

its garbage. u never see anybody on it

[sage vapor]

lfg 5 man factory doing delivery from past

[random ridge]

are you going health resort?

[barren trellis]

"kill 3 people over 100m away" only find people in resort at like 25m max haha.

everywhere out in the forest. never see anybody.

[random ridge]

ohh right I see so shooter born in heaven

[barren trellis]

such a garbage map

[random ridge]

maybe look up a spot for shooter born in heaven

[prisma jacinth]

@sage vapor I'm on that quest as well. EU though...

[random ridge]

have some youtube on your second monitor or something and just chill there for the raid

btw

for chemicals part 4

should I go prapor therapist or skier

or does that depend on my loyaltyt

[night goblet]

alright had the game a few weeks now understand some basics looking to dive in, im from the UK

[random ridge]

bollocks

i forgot customs office key again

thats 800k im not getting anyway

[night goblet]

800k sheesh

[random ridge]

yup mechanic bitcoin task

just gonna go for marked room and check if someone opened it if my exfil is crossroads

[keen sorrel]

Hello!

[strong jolt]

What is the point of the head plate for the caiman? They're both lvl 4 armor I think

[pseudo spire]

I'm newer to the game and have a question about bitcoin in Tarkov.. Is it worth it to hang onto or do most people sell them to dealers? I have 4x and I'm not sure the best option

[strong jolt]

just sell

unless you expect the irl price of bitcoin to go up

sell to therapist though

[stoic ravine]

i just got one shot in the thorax with lvl 4 Armour in dorms why does this game hate me i have no gear now

[hardy marsh]

Tarkov is about pain and suffering it is about persevering and being able to cope with loss you must always be ready to lose it all

[strong jolt]

it's also about having a bitcoin farm

so you don't run out of money

[knotty topaz]

does something have to be on the body to be picked up by insurance or can it be hidden by a teammate and still be picked up by insurance?

[hardy marsh]

Yes^

It can be hidden

[stoic ravine]

preserving my ass i had to sell everything that was my last kit i always die to some fucking chad roaming customs

[strong jolt]

@knotty topaz you can hide it

[keen sorrel]

It can be hidden as well

[knotty topaz]

Ah ok thanks that helps a lot

[stoic ravine]

EU-can i please from anyone get some help i had to sell all my gear to have some money and i died with my last kit to some fucking chad im lvl 7 with 100 or so hours and i still suck ass and always die

[random ridge]

does higher strenght mean you dont become overweight when you have a decent haul

cuase christ im just gonna start packing mules if I have to keep hiding in bushes every 2 minutes to get stamina back

[cosmic tinsel]

ye

[cosmic tinsel]

pro gamer strat is proning out and crawling

you'll regen stam while crawling

and can keep movin

[random ridge]

hahaha smart

i dont think proning across junk bridge is a good idea doe lol

[cosmic tinsel]

that just means you timed it wrong

timing your sprints is important

you can prone thru bushes on the way

sprint across

[craggy sapphire]

Hui

[cosmic tinsel]

hopefully make it up and across the other wise (works both ways)

[craggy sapphire]

hi

[cosmic tinsel]

and then back to earthwormin

[craggy sapphire]

What happeneed to mr blank

?

nvm

Does anyone wanna go do a geared dorms run?

But how do you get a side grip on your gun?

[hardy marsh]

Like a side fore grip you mean?

[cosmic tinsel]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Zenit_RK-1_Foregrip_on_B-25U_mount

[craggy sapphire]

Oh

[stoic ravine]

EU-can i please from anyone get some help i had to sell all my gear to have some money and i died with my last kit to some fucking chad im lvl 7 with 100 or so hours and i still suck ass and always die

[craggy sapphire]

Thanks

[random ridge]

finally

i have finished farming part 4

gotten 2 pmc kills

gotten ok loot

and extracted

its been a long time

[craggy sapphire]

How will i get my ergo higher?

[hardy marsh]

Try changing pistol grip

[random ridge]

if it doesnt need to be silenced you can take that off for loads extra

but silenced guns tend to have lower ergo

maybe a different stock too

[cosmic tinsel]

try right clicking the gun and going to "edit preset"

it'll let you play with all the different parts

[craggy sapphire]

Okay

[cosmic tinsel]

and you can mix and match and see what works best for you

[random ridge]

oh no

[cosmic tinsel]

its doable. just takes time 😄

[random ridge]

if he thinks im handing him 3 graphics cards

he can think again

[cosmic tinsel]

so that quest gates two quests that are both pretty cheap

and both pay 3 bitcoins

[craggy sapphire]

Is it the holosun that like shines a big circle

?

[random ridge]

ohhh i see

thank you

[cosmic tinsel]

the more expensive one pays 3 bitcoins, 1 gfx card, 1 reap-ir

[cosmic tinsel]

i dont understand the question

[craggy sapphire]

Like a big red circle

[cosmic tinsel]

theres a few holosun devices i think. the only one i know off the top of my head is the red dot sight with a green laser attached

[random ridge]

im liking the UMP

with .45 HS

[cosmic tinsel]

ahhh yes, that one does the IR spotlight (red circle)

but there are a few devices that do it

[craggy sapphire]

I really like it

[cosmic tinsel]

im glad you like it! I would note that that gun is generally considered pretty low tier. if you ever feel like you're not getting the results you want out of it you may want to try something like the pp-19 vityaz, which also has low rate of fire, but less recoil and better ammo options. none of this is to say dont use ump - just there are other options in the same archetype 😄

i think the ump is rad, but its sort of a "silly" kit for me

[random ridge]

yeah I see exactly what you mean

[craggy sapphire]

I am dumb

[random ridge]

if I was up against an altyn pmc from like 30 meters im fucked

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah

[random ridge]

but I think its quite good for pushing places like dorms

[cosmic tinsel]

there arent great penning options for 45

except for the expensive AP

[craggy sapphire]

Doesn't make a red little circle oof

[cosmic tinsel]

and then also the ump kicks harder than i think it should given the low rate of fire

[random ridge]

I have this pp which is quite tasty

but I dont know what map to run it on

not a huge fan of expensive smgs on customs

[cosmic tinsel]

"Holosun LS321 is a multi-laser tactical device with green laser in the visible light spectrum, IR laser and IR searchlight."

real?

[craggy sapphire]

real?

[cosmic tinsel]

like its crazy that it doesnt circle bc the description says it does

but i completely believe that the description could be wrong, given that this is tarkov

[shadow star]

how do I actually start the game

[random ridge]

i yoinked this ak on my raid

you think its worth a run

[cosmic tinsel]

thats a lot of PP, but you can do a lot with a barely modded PP too

[shadow star]

im spamming enter like always

[craggy sapphire]

Doesn't make one tho

[hardy marsh]

Whiney your best bet might be to just craft em

[agile forge]

Where are you checking it?

[craggy sapphire]

In the hideout

[agile forge]

I’ve noticed that the faint red spotlight doesn’t show up in the hideout, but it does show up in raid

[random ridge]

only took me lav 3 but this is finally done

[cosmic tinsel]

thats an important quest, i'd keep pushing the prapor quest line, especially if you dont have EoD

[hardy marsh]

The punishers hurt

[random ridge]

nah I got eod

[hardy marsh]

Fair warning

[craggy sapphire]

Imma do a offline one then

[random ridge]

I just got fuckin hooked and bought it

[hardy marsh]

Same whiney

[random ridge]

anyone else find it satisfying af watching there hideout get cleaner

or am i just a freak

[hardy marsh]

It’s not just you

[cosmic tinsel]

ls321 does infra, just checked

[agile forge]

Keep cycling. I don’t think the green laser shows the red spotlight at the same time

[craggy sapphire]

Nope

[craggy sapphire]

Can't see

[cosmic tinsel]

exactly

green light is on, but theres no laser

the red circle is basically invisible, the reason you want it is that it tightens your point fire without making it obvious to people that you're aiming at them

[craggy sapphire]

Oh

But i feel like it is easier to hipfire when i have that little red thing

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, it controls it

and its more visible in certain scenarios

its almost completely invisible in the hideout

but theres two little lights

[craggy sapphire]

Wha'

[cosmic tinsel]

the one on the right indicates that the ir searchlight is on

[craggy sapphire]

Okay

[random ridge]

guys i think i have "escaped from tarkov" like the title suggests

[raven widget]

is there something im missing?

[hardy marsh]

Yes you did

Rgk try restarting your game

[cosmic tinsel]

Put the slick on if youre in raid ffa

Ffs

[sterile vessel]

interchange

[random ridge]

nah that was after extract

factory

[cosmic tinsel]

Oh thank God lol

[random ridge]

i would say that I perfectly taked down all 3 of those guys

that was a lie

they were all fighting in one room and I hear a boom

all 3 of them dead

i get the loot

[hardy marsh]

Right place at the right time

[random ridge]

yup

was just tryna get postman pat done

[hardy marsh]

Anyone have any idea how long this wipe is going to be?

[random ridge]

i think its predicted may will be wipe

[hardy marsh]

I heard that it will be a while until next wipe

[fast oriole]

can quests bug out? i got the secure case from customs like 5 times but it still ist check marked

[hardy marsh]

Did you die?

[thick slate]

lfg lvl 12

[hardy marsh]

And what quest are you on @fast oriole

[fast oriole]

no i extraced few times

@hardy marsh delivery from the past

[hardy marsh]

You have to go drop that off in factory

[fast oriole]

how? i cant see the items anywhere

[hardy marsh]

You grab it from customs than take it to factory in the metal shack next to gate 3

It’s not in your normal inventory

[fast oriole]

@hardy marsh do i need space in my alpha container?

[hardy marsh]

No

It will be in your quest items inventory

You can find that when you click on quests in your menu

[fast oriole]

nothing in there ;/

[hardy marsh]

Did you die in your last raid?

[fast oriole]

yes

but i got the items few raids back

[hardy marsh]

You have to collect it again

[elfin trail]

You have to put it in the special offraid quest items stash

[hardy marsh]

You drop it when you die

[elfin trail]

If you don't do the drop off immediately

[fast oriole]

ah

ok

[random ridge]

are vent upgrades worth it

[hardy marsh]

All upgrades are worth it I’d say

And plus you need it for other upgrades

[random ridge]

cool

doing nutrition 3 and if i make some more ps tonight ill go for vents

cause i think thats what I need next to progress

[hardy marsh]

Yeah it probably is

[echo iris]

I havent run a raid yet this wipe anybody I can tag along with?

[craggy sapphire]

Nice

Just got a gpu and survived the raid .D

[hardy marsh]

Nice man

Save it for the quest I’d say

Unless you need money now

[craggy sapphire]

I really need money

For my hideout and other stuff

[hardy marsh]

Than selling might be your best bet

[craggy sapphire]

I already did

For 1.7 mil

[viral prawn]

Anyone looking for advice?

[craggy sapphire]

Is this everything i need for a dorms run?

[hardy marsh]

Seems good enough

[craggy sapphire]

I need someone to do it with

[hardy marsh]

I would if I was him

Home*

But I won’t be for a while

[craggy sapphire]

Okay

[wild widget]

Hey i legit just got the game yesterday what would be the best way to start?

[bold kernel]

@craggy sapphire I would bring an Esmarch

[craggy sapphire]

An esmerch

wtf

I got a hemostat

[bold kernel]

Ah, gotcha

[craggy sapphire]

lol

[haughty tulip]

Get a sherpa

[wild widget]

sherpa?

[haughty tulip]

Someone to guide you in game

Like

[wild widget]

also form the dealers?

OH

Ok

[haughty tulip]

We provide info here

Anything game related

[wild widget]

Ahh got ya

[haughty tulip]

But the best way to learn the game is getting someone to go in with you

And explain you stuff as you play

[wild widget]

well how would i find a sherpa

[craggy sapphire]

Should i got all out and buy a tk 800 and a face shield?

[haughty tulip]

What's the command for the sherpa hub

[random ridge]

i personally just played solo

[haughty tulip]

lel

Same

[random ridge]

i found when i played with players i learnt fuck all

[haughty tulip]

But I don't want him to quit first week

[random ridge]

i did that

then came back this wipe

[wild widget]

Nah i wont

[random ridge]

my net worth was 80k

[ancient falcon]

this games lighting needs some work. I saw some guy inside interchange mall proned in front of me but at the time I thought it was a piece of rubbish or debris because of how dark and muddy it was...

[haughty tulip]

Yeah you will

The game has such a learning curve

You'll shoot people and wonder why isn't he dead

[wild widget]

Well im kinda used to losing good shit bc i have no idea whats going on

[haughty tulip]

But anyway

There's the sherpa hub

it's on #sherpa-info

Any question about the game we can help here

But a sherpa is on that discord

[wild widget]

ok tyty

[haughty tulip]

Np dde

I just got my juicy raid

[craggy sapphire]

Turtle milk

Or dovah

[hardy marsh]

Yo

[haughty tulip]

Some player scav killed 2/3 raiders in reserve and I killed him

[craggy sapphire]

Should i buy a tk 800 and a face shield instead?

[haughty tulip]

tk 800?

why I never remember the names

[hardy marsh]

How much money you have atm?

[craggy sapphire]

Tc 800*

Atm?

I have 3mil

[hardy marsh]

Yeah it’s a pretty decent helmet

[spark marsh]

Face shields kinda doo doo atm since everyone has a shit ton of money IMO. Everyone running high pen rounds

[hardy marsh]

True^

[craggy sapphire]

Or i can bring my slick and my exfil helmet :D

[spark marsh]

You do have a ton of money, so roll with whatever you feel like. Personally, id spend the roubles on good amr instead of a fs

[craggy sapphire]

Amr?

[spark marsh]

Armor

[craggy sapphire]

I got a korund

[haughty tulip]

Run whatever

[spark marsh]

Yea then ur gucci

[haughty tulip]

Outaim your enemy

With shitty ammo

[spark marsh]

No need to out aim if they don't know you are there

[haughty tulip]

I went in with BT killed a dude with M995

[spark marsh]

[haughty tulip]

Well

https://tenor.com/view/youre-right-breaking-bad-walter-white-gif-5292336

[random ridge]

m995 is shit isnt it

or am i getting confused

[craggy sapphire]

I killed a fully geared slick gun on dorms with bt ammo

[haughty tulip]

Isn't that one the best 5.45

[craggy sapphire]

And he's slick was like 3 hp

[haughty tulip]

Or was it M993

Anyway it's up there

[spark marsh]

M995 is the highest pen round

[random ridge]

no they usually end with a1 i think

ohh right

[haughty tulip]

No

That's the decent one

It's M855A1

Also instead of buying a TC 800

Just go reserve

[spark marsh]

M855a1 and m856a1 are the decent ( tho i avoid tracer ) and m855 is the base ammo via PK

[haughty tulip]

And find one

Holy BP

[hardy marsh]

Any tips for shooter born in heaven?

[haughty tulip]

Uhm

Camp?

[atomic horizon]

Can anyone help me do a quest?

[spark marsh]

Which map

[hardy marsh]

Any

[haughty tulip]

I suggest you find a vid on youtube for spots to snipe from

That's what I'd do if I cared to do that task

[random ridge]

mannn nearly killed some guy who killed reshala at gas station

he tanked 8 buckshots

[haughty tulip]

go in sherpa hub bro

[random ridge]

buckshots are shit ik before i get told lol i was scav

[atomic horizon]

Where?

[spark marsh]

For customs, I like aiming towards quest OBJs. Golden zippo and extrortionest

[craggy sapphire]

Peacekeeper is so good in a high level

[craggy sapphire]

I can't do any quests for him

[spark marsh]

You unlock PK quests by doing skiiers quests first

[random widget]

gotta hit those squishy parts

[spark marsh]

U need to do friend from the west

[atomic horizon]

Where is sherpa hub

[spark marsh]

#sherpa-info

[random ridge]

lol first he was crouching behind a car so could only headshot

then in gas station so couldnt hit his legs

that man is lucky

[random widget]

also got a fat repair bill lol

[haughty tulip]

Sherpa hub discord you can find it in #sherpa-info

Oh someone replied

Oh well

[random ridge]

is rpk decent?

[haughty tulip]

That doens't do anything except make you feel safer

[craggy sapphire]

lol

[haughty tulip]

Maybe stop scav rounds

[hardy marsh]

Rpk is insane

[spark marsh]

Every gun is usable. Its all in the ammo

[haughty tulip]

Yeah but your shotgun won't do much against the vector

[spark marsh]

Star rounds say otherwise

[haughty tulip]

30k per round

[spark marsh]

Cant hit me if you have been blinded by the light of 1000 suns

[haughty tulip]

for 20 seconds

40 if you dont have glasses

[random widget]

skier is the best choice to deliver this to or ?

[spark marsh]

Or just go the poor mans way and strap a bunch of flashlights on

Always skiier

[hardy marsh]

20 seconds and your dead

[random ridge]

im in the same predicament

[haughty tulip]

I got you fam

[spark marsh]

His rep is harder to get

[hardy marsh]

I did therapist just cause I already had super high rep for skier

[haughty tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/yugioh-anime-omg-wtf-cant-unsee-gif-5159766

[reef prairie]

doesnt really matter, whatever rep you need

[spark marsh]

high beams activate

[random ridge]

whats lvel 4 skiers required rep?

[haughty tulip]

Can't get shoot if enemy doesnt see you

[craggy sapphire]

60 i think

[haughty tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/think-about-it-use-your-brain-use-the-brain-think-brain-gif-7914082

[random ridge]

gonna hand it to therapist then

[haughty tulip]

Skier gives more money

[spark marsh]

0.75

[random ridge]

ye but its negligible amount

[hardy marsh]

You can sell the med case for more tho

[craggy sapphire]

I am so scared to go in

Bci am going to get fucked

[haughty tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/just-do-it-shia-la-beouf-do-it-gif-4531935

[craggy sapphire]

I literally lost my gearfear a long time ago

But this helmet

[haughty tulip]

You go in to get fucked until you become the one to fuck everyone else

[craggy sapphire]

Is 300k

[haughty tulip]

[haughty tulip]

ag

[random ridge]

are gpus nearly garunteed spawn

[haughty tulip]

[random ridge]

in interchange

[craggy sapphire]

Nope

[haughty tulip]

You need guns?

Reserve.

Like

Good guns

With decent to good ammo

Just got around 100 rounds of BP from an sks from a raider

[craggy sapphire]

3 60 rounders filled with bt

[reef prairie]

get a muzzle device

[craggy sapphire]

Wich one?

[reef prairie]

the best you can afford

some have a lot if recoil reduction

pws cqb maybe

i dont know which lvl trader that is

[limpid drift]

Does anyone have any info on money runs? This is my first wipe =/

[outer bronze]

what should i do with my green keycard

[spark marsh]

How broke are you/how brave are you

[fallow stream]

customs hidden stash runs are good for beginsersdrs

[cerulean apex]

thats acctually a fair question lmao

[reef prairie]

[cerulean apex]

interchange tech runs are $$$$

[limpid drift]

Got about 400k, maybe not brave but stupid?

[craggy sapphire]

I would run forest if i would be getting stashes

Woods*

[hardy marsh]

All about personal preference

[haughty tulip]

that muzzle is good and cheap

[craggy sapphire]

Or i would run interchange

[cerulean apex]

interchange run direct for tech stores. go in with just hatchet

[spark marsh]

I personally like interchange going the back of Oli for my money runs.

[craggy sapphire]

I usually do that when i run out of money

[reef prairie]

thats 5.56 tho

[haughty tulip]

oh

[spark marsh]

Don't hatchet run, bring soemthing to bonk scavs

[haughty tulip]

which ak is that

[hardy marsh]

I’d also recommend keys for interchange especially Kona when you get a chance

[craggy sapphire]

For example just when i spent all of my money on a stash upgrade wich will be done today

[cerulean apex]

m-2 sword... all the sweapon i need lol

[craggy sapphire]

I have 1k

[fallow stream]

ok

[haughty tulip]

ah

[craggy sapphire]

Now i have 2.6mil

[limpid drift]

My last three interchange runs, I died before I got into the building 😦

[fallow stream]

just live then

[craggy sapphire]

oof

lol

[cerulean apex]

run hard n fast dont stop

[viral prawn]

Anyone need help?

[fallow stream]

buy sj6 from flea amrkeat

[cerulean apex]

if ur endurance isnt 20+ u need a sj6 to reach mall

[spark marsh]

The interchange start can be rough due to close spawns. If you know where to aim you can kill ppl in the first 30 seconds

You could just stay outside the mall and do the stashes, but thats smol pp moves imo.

[winged pilot]

Is it worth turning water filters into purified water?

what can i do with the purified water

[limpid drift]

[fallow stream]

*everyone is only bartering

[limpid drift]

Thanks for the info all, I will give it another go 🙂

[outer bronze]

everyone is doing barter trades

[reef prairie]

you can sell it, but the fees are very high

[cerulean apex]

ohh is that why people barter it...

[bold kernel]

[ocean trellis]

can anyone help me survive a mission XD

[viral prawn]

This G-Zhel has 18.7 armor left, is it even worth anything? i feel like this will stop A single bullet before it breaks

[craggy sapphire]

nope

[spark marsh]

If its under half its normal dura, its not worth keeping imo

[craggy sapphire]

Is the zhuk the best armor in the game?

[hardy marsh]

No

[spark marsh]

S l i c k

[hardy marsh]

Slick

[craggy sapphire]

Okay

[reef prairie]

or hex

[agile forge]

Zhuk is the worst lvl 6 armor

[craggy sapphire]

Okay

xd

[outer bronze]

what should i barter my green key card for

[reef prairie]

take a look what others trade for

[upper sinew]

i just did a scav run i got an ak w t ammo i shot a full mag of t into a raider and like 10 headshots and it dident die
someone once told me t was bad ammo and boy was he right

[haughty tulip]

That ain't no raider

Where was that

[upper sinew]

reserve

[haughty tulip]

Ah yes

That was scav boss

A guard

[hardy marsh]

I did 681 body damage to kills last night with t ammo and he didn’t die

Killa*

[haughty tulip]

Killa op

Well here I go again

[hardy marsh]

Yeah I had a labs card on that scab

[haughty tulip]

Hoping for another 1m scav run

[upper sinew]

im still so mad im sorry but that motherfucker should be dead

[hardy marsh]

Man fucking auto correct

[haughty tulip]

He maybe had a helmet

[upper sinew]

then i get 1 tapped

[haughty tulip]

The good helmet

Guards can spawn with a helmet that's like the altyn but black

[upper sinew]

it was a fast mt type of helmet

[haughty tulip]

Did he had a visor

[upper sinew]

probably

what map did you do to get 1mil? @haughty tulip

i usually get like 300-600k

[random widget]

can rock passage open up later in the map, or if it's not open it's not gonna open ?

[agile forge]

It can open later

[hardy marsh]

Yeah it can open later

[random widget]

hm to turn back or push for tunnel

some of these scavs man, they are crazy

[hardy marsh]

How much time is left in raid?

[random widget]

oh 37 minutes

[hardy marsh]

You can probably wait

[random widget]

oh it's quite the walk to rock passage too you see, I'm in for a journey no matter what direction lol

[agile forge]

Are you a scav?

[random ridge]

if you're not a scav this will always remind you to bring cms lol

[random widget]

b-but I just started bringing splints

can't splint this :D

[agile forge]

Do you have painkillers?

[random widget]

I uh, forgot to restock

[agile forge]

Do you have good loot?

[random widget]

nah, just my gear I guess

did take down a pmc actually but nothing to write home about

[hardy marsh]

We are your home and you are writing to us

[agile forge]

If you insured your gear, you could just toss it and try to get yourself killed

[reef prairie]

limping to the extract is the tarkov walk of shame, we've all been there

[random widget]

I'll toss my stuff and try to extract

can you run on blackened legs with painkillers?

[reef prairie]

yes

but you lose health

[random widget]

omg found painkillers in a hidden stash, and I'm out!

my best armor and weapon in a bush though 😢

[fresh elk]

anyone tryna team up

[willow wave]

carrying too much items increase energy drain?

[random widget]

it at least affects stamina regeneration, if you carry enough you won't regen by walking

[haughty tulip]

I think if you get to the point of the red bar while sprinting that affects

I'm not 100% sure

Damn rats trying to kill me on top of hermetic

[willow wave]

cause when I played with a sherp this morning

I started blacking out

[haughty tulip]

Little do you know I am pro adar no sight

[willow wave]

and I noticed I was out of energy

and overumcumbered

[haughty tulip]

Ah

You might have forgotten to eat before raid

[autumn epoch]

Hello there! Im trying to get into this game. LF a Sherpa Senpai.

[haughty tulip]

Or stayed too long in raid

[willow wave]

was ful

and uh

it was only 30 minutes

[haughty tulip]

@autumn epoch #sherpa-info the link to the sherpa hub is there bro

[willow wave]

doe it was all good, started dying when I was near extract

[haughty tulip]

You ran out of it

You do run fast

Imagine this

At 20m without eating and drinking you probably got another 5m left

Also if you use painkillers of any kind it will take water/energy

[willow wave]

beside certain food/drink/meds

and stomach shots

what increase

water/energy drain

[haughty tulip]

Also blackedout stomach makes it drain faster

Eh

Metabolism?

Sorry it's health

Skill

The resting space lvl 3 increases energy by 10 at lvl 3

[haughty tulip]

That decreases the amount drained

Also damn son I'm getting good loot on reserve today

[random widget]

you lose extra hydration from being in firefights I believe, and using certain consumables

[haughty tulip]

they call me eagle eye

I found a little BP round on the floor

lol

[solar spoke]

Anyone wanna run Interchange or Customs? Need some help collecting cargo manifest.

[deft nacelle]

@solar spoke im down for customs, i need to get the pocket watch for prapor so if its on the way cool, if not at least im getting more practice

[solar spoke]

kool

[obsidian minnow]

best way to level peacekeeper in terms of funds? like best item to buy and sell back

not fussed about the flea market, i know it's quicker to just buy from the trader and sell back to him right

[craggy sapphire]

Oof

We died

But killed two guys in a trio

The last guy was really good

[reef prairie]

i dont know which item is best to buy from him, i purchased ssds on the fleamarket (for lets say 42k max) and sold them to pk for 317$ (which is just under 40k rubles)

[agile forge]

Couldn’t you just buy dollars?

[hoary crane]

help need 3 players for factory to finish a task

help

[reef prairie]

yeah, that didnt work for me for some reason

[hoary crane]

help

3 players

[pearl jay]

^

please help

[hoary crane]

we togther

[pearl jay]

im 500 xp off lvl 10

[obsidian minnow]

you can, but i wanted to put as little into dollars as i could

[agile forge]

But you were selling ssds for dollars

[obsidian minnow]

i only needed 9k dollar i think to put over the 25k threshold, so i ended up spending 300k on dollars, tehn bought and sold M4s back to him

[ionic bough]

anyone wanna jump into a game to teach me?

[obsidian minnow]

Not me @agile forge

[agile forge]

Oh oops

[stray stone]

hey guys

[keen sorrel]

If there's anyone that has any questions, needs help with the game let me know!

[stray stone]

me

i need to run customs

but i dont want to 5 man its too crazy

but ill do it if i have to

i always die solo though

[craggy sapphire]

Am * missing anything?*

[obsidian minnow]

just avoid the high traffic areas

[willow wave]

how does helmet/body armor durability work?

[stray stone]

sj6

[craggy sapphire]

Sj6?

[willow wave]

as in: how does the game decide how much point they lose

[obsidian minnow]

armour damage is a stat bullets have idk exactly how it works tho

[stray stone]

dora, sj6 is the injectin that make u run without getting tired longer

u donreally need it but its neat

[agile forge]

What’s in your butt?

[obsidian minnow]

neat but also 70k or somethinglol

[stray stone]

it makes u have tunnel vision after it wears off though

yeah its costly

[craggy sapphire]

A mule a vasaline and a cms

And my keys

[stray stone]

whats a mule?

[cosmic tinsel]

SSDs frequently convert at a better rate than buying dollars

[craggy sapphire]

Makes you carry more stuff

[stray stone]

oh

[craggy sapphire]

/get more strength

You mean that thing?

[cosmic tinsel]

super complicated honestly. veritas has mabe the best understanding and made this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KbFMHp4NOE

i use his app (battle buddy) to get a general feel of what armors doin against different rounds

[agile forge]

SJ6, not SJ1

[cosmic tinsel]

the blue boy

[glad flint]

i shot a dude 15 hit counts with 39 pen ammo out of a pistol. he was wearing an idea rig and steel pot helmet.

i died to m855

to a head shot lol

my friend killed him and he just happen to be a level 12 wearing slick

lol

[cosmic tinsel]

LOL

[craggy sapphire]

Does it fix that?

[cosmic tinsel]

those only last for 40 seconds

[ocean forge]

😩😩😩😩

[cosmic tinsel]

basically that says "after you use this, theres a 200 second delay, and then you have a tremor and tunnel vision for 40 seconds"

[willow wave]

anyway to repair armors to max or they are doomed to become worse and worse overtime?

[delicate siren]

Depending on the material it will have a worse or better repair cost and rate

Always doomed to be lower

[willow wave]

damn

[craggy sapphire]

I got legg mettad by literally the baddest ammo for the mp7

Last game

[willow wave]

does sell price makes up for the withering durability?

obviously I guess it lowers but

is it better of to be sold once it become terrible?

[glad flint]

yep

the lower total durability, the more likely lower penetrating ammo can go through

for example, a level 5 will withstand a ash-12 shot with ap ammo

once

the second time it will go through

then if you repair it, it has a more likely chance to pen

because it takes away from the total durability

[random widget]

I got hit by 2 of these, I've never healed so much after a fight lol, had to staple myself together too

[tawdry lily]

I have 5 gpus which arent found in raid

i hate myself

[glad flint]

maybe survive

might help

[random widget]

can't you use those for bitcoin farm when you get that?

[tawdry lily]

already got bitcoin farm

[random widget]

then suck it up ^^

[tawdry lily]

Ah I'll just give them to someone

[craggy sapphire]

Got killed

Again

[tawdry lily]

F

[craggy sapphire]

Lost about 800k worth of gear

[random widget]

ouch

[craggy sapphire]

Guy one tapped me

I couldn't even see him

[willow wave]

Toolbox path for customs?

im in dire need of a spark plug

[open glade]

anyone wanna help me run some on customs?

[random widget]

try filing cabinets? that's where I had my luck on those at least

[cosmic tinsel]

your btc farm is full of non-fir cards?

[silver beacon]

Im boutta break my pc some fucker just throw 6 grenades at me every time i tansitioned cover with my broken ass legs 😩

like mf just threw more money in grenades at me than my kits costs

[random widget]

are they less effective? I'm about to unlock my bitcoin farm maybe over night, but I got 0 cards, so considering buying them on flea

[cosmic tinsel]

cruise thru factory, old gas, warehouse 17. lots of tool spawns all thru there in addition to some toolboxes

[haughty tulip]

Yes

Buy 1

Even 1 bitcoin a day is worth it

[random widget]

yeah it'll earn itself back in I assume

[cosmic tinsel]

same effectiveness. just you can pull fir cards outta the farm and replace em with non-fir

[haughty tulip]

Yes

What he said

If you find them tho

[cosmic tinsel]

so my farm is probably 50/50 fir non/fir

[haughty tulip]

That's a lot of money

How long per bitcoin

[cosmic tinsel]

and every time i die with a gfx card now i empty out the farm until i find a fir card, sell that one, and pocket the difference

[elfin trail]

What's the normal rate for Hgrids on flea?

Just found one and succesfully extracted 😄

[royal bloom]

Guys I really need some help with weapon moding

so I bought this weapon Orsis T-5000 and I cant put any scopes on it could anyone help me out?

[cosmic tinsel]

you can check tarkov-market for some historical averages, but otherwise you just gotta filter on item and pick you rspot

[cosmic tinsel]

need mounting rails

[reef prairie]

orsis scope mount

[royal bloom]

I have that

[reef prairie]

put that one

[royal bloom]

yet none of these fit

I did

[cosmic tinsel]

you need a scope mount for the rail

[reef prairie]

the first on needs a mount

[cosmic tinsel]

30mm scope mount

(or other sizes)

[reef prairie]

the second and third are sidemounted

for some aks, vss, svd ...

[royal bloom]

so what do I need to do to mount lets say the first scope?

[cosmic tinsel]

linked search that scope

it should give you ring mounts

that will hold that scope and mount on the rail

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly i dont love that scope - im a big vudu and burris FullField guy

weaver

weaver is the rail system that you have

[royal bloom]

oh my god

thank you so much

[cosmic tinsel]

dovetails mount on the side of the weapon and are common on russian weapon systems

but its possible to get rails on a lot of russian stuff anyway

[reef prairie]

is that the vpo-scope?

the one thats always on the vpo bolt action

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah its... not my favorite

lol

[reef prairie]

its horrible

the tac30 is pretty cheap and good

[cosmic tinsel]

tahts the fullfield right

[royal bloom]

okay

[cosmic tinsel]

if yes, completely agree

[reef prairie]

the one from the scav m700s

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, this one slaps

[reef prairie]

did all the sniper quest with that

[royal bloom]

yikers that costs like half my gun 😄

[deft nacelle]

whats the best ak ammo i can buy with level 1 traders and no flea?

[royal bloom]

can you use night vision AND use a sniper scope?

[reef prairie]

7.62 or 5.45?

[reef prairie]

yes

[deft nacelle]

762

[golden loom]

for 7.62 you can buy ps from prapor

[deft nacelle]

errr nvm, 545

assumed 762 bc thats what im used to an ak using

[royal bloom]

uhh what bullets do I buy?

[random widget]

you're basically shooting dried peas with that gun then as far as I know @deft nacelle , if it's 5.45 ps

[cosmic tinsel]

it looks like dogshit thru a number of scopes and im not sure if thats a graphics glitch or intentional

[deft nacelle]

i found an ak74n and didnt know what i should use on it

[reef prairie]

some are very bright through night vision

[cosmic tinsel]

shoots 308 - m61 is best, m62 is a tracer, m80 is ok

[golden loom]

well it does decent damage for 5.45 ps but it has basically no pen

only 25 which will only kill scavs at this point in the wipe

[cosmic tinsel]

@royal bloom you'll see m61 referred to interchangeably as .308, 7.62x51, and 7.62 NATO

[royal bloom]

gocha

[deft nacelle]

rip, i started like a month ago and have 25 hours

[royal bloom]

thanks

alot

[deft nacelle]

so im essentially screwed

[golden loom]

personally i would recommend saying .308 cause a lot of people will still get confused

[cosmic tinsel]

i completely agree

[golden loom]

and its probably the quickest one to say

[royal bloom]

I really really really love sniping so I thought I'd start getting into it 😄 got my first rifle but I dont think i can do it reggularly due to the high prices

[deft nacelle]

what about 545 t?

[golden loom]

its bad

[reef prairie]

worse than ps

[cosmic tinsel]

pull up the ballistics chart and basically assume higher pen = better

[deft nacelle]

oh

[golden loom]

at your level i would recommend not using 5.45

[reef prairie]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[golden loom]

all the ammo you can buy is just shit

[cosmic tinsel]

try using the mosin, sv-98, or .366 molot

[reef prairie]

youre better off using 7.62 ps

[royal bloom]

Thought about going sniping at night but I need NVGs and I also don't know which map to go for

[royal bloom]

allright

[cosmic tinsel]

.366 shoots SLOW so you'll have to do a lot of accounting for drop

[golden loom]

however if you can find 2 of the tall tushonkas you can trade with prapor for 30 rounds of bt

[cosmic tinsel]

but its dirt cheap and the AP rounds hit hard

[reef prairie]

sniping at night isnt fun without thermal

[royal bloom]

thermal scope?

[golden loom]

yeah the .366 ap rounds do like 90 damage or something

[reef prairie]

yeah, can oneshot lvl4 to the chest

[golden loom]

and 42 pen so you should be able to kill a lot of people still with it

[reef prairie]

but its nothing for longer ranges

[royal bloom]

how much do thermal scopes cost and can I put one on my sniper? and what would be the best map to snipe I dont mind staying in the same spot for even an hour

[cosmic tinsel]

thermals are too much

[golden loom]

very expensive

[cosmic tinsel]

hes effectively telling you snipe durin the day, ya dingus

[golden loom]

like 500k atleast

[cosmic tinsel]

which i kind of agree with

but if you wanna try night time, try it!

[reef prairie]

sniping with thermal isnt easy either, so yeah, go for daytime

[random hare]

Im looking for someone who doesn't mind 1. Im 13 2. im lvl 2 and really bad and that can teach me im horrible at the game (EU Servers preferably)

[golden loom]

its like 700k for a flir and almost a mil for reap-ir

[royal bloom]

allright what would be the best map to do it on tho?

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly the map you know best maybe

i really like shoreline

playing around the pier

[reef prairie]

wow, a mil for reapir, insane

[golden loom]

yeah they all good for sniping except for interchange and factory

for obvious reasons

unless you sit outside and extract camp emercom but dont do that

[cosmic tinsel]

dont make me think about sbih on interchange again pls

[golden loom]

if you do i will come find you and execute you

[royal bloom]

okay gocha thanks alot

[cosmic tinsel]

i sat on the sandbags in food court and shot at the highway camp

[reef prairie]

always one sitting in one of the towers

[cosmic tinsel]

i always got burnt in those ha

[urban kite]

am i dumb or does shtruman spawn in another location now in woods

[deft nacelle]

on the upside, the mag thats in the ak i found has bp

[cosmic tinsel]

only the lumber mill afaik

[deft nacelle]

so should i keep it in and then fill 2 with prs in event of emergency?

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly if you cant run BT in 5.46

[urban kite]

okay so im not crazy cause im hearing someone using a svd but using it in three round bursts around the new area

[reef prairie]

and even bt isnt that good

[haughty tulip]

this helmet helps at all?

[cosmic tinsel]

you should sell it, and get an SKS or AKM vepr in 7.62 ps

[golden loom]

probably people trying to bait shturman hunters

[cosmic tinsel]

its second tier. i cant recommend igolnik/bs in good good faith imo

[deft nacelle]

people told me an sks with ps wouldnt be good

[urban kite]

almost pulled me in

i was convinced

[golden loom]

yeah that shit too expensive

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, and then they told you to run something you cant afford XD

[reef prairie]

way better than 5.45 bp or ps

[golden loom]

yea

sks with ps is actually pretty good

[cosmic tinsel]

like, yeah, in the scheme of things its at the bottom of the power spectrum

[golden loom]

you can easily kill scavs with it

[cosmic tinsel]

but in terms of lethality/rouble

[deft nacelle]

fair enough

[cosmic tinsel]

its pretty good

[golden loom]

and if you get the jump on a player and can headshot them then well

[deft nacelle]

i have an sks and an opsks

[golden loom]

they die

[cosmic tinsel]

heck yeah

[golden loom]

if you wanna put a sight on it use the op sks

[cosmic tinsel]

they're cheap, they come back in insurance, you dont even need to run a rig with em

[deft nacelle]

plus a scope for the op

ye

[golden loom]

usually when i need to conserve money i go with the normal sks

[reef prairie]

if you put a pso on you can even snipe with it

[golden loom]

its like 5k cheaper for the normal one

[deft nacelle]

i have a decent amount of money, 1.4 m

but no trader levels

[golden loom]

have you done any quests?

also what level are you

[bold kernel]

do any high levels want to ride along with me on reserve? tech room, underground, d2

[reef prairie]

its not bad to focus on quests early on

lots of xp and money

[golden loom]

yeah i hard focused quests

especially gunsmith

[bold kernel]

i can

t

find a fucking

mP5SD

[golden loom]

i only got 400k or so from the bitcoins back then

but now that they are 800k i would very highly recommend doing as much gunsmith as possible

also why you need mp5sd

you can buy everything to make one from peacekeeper

[haughty tulip]

No comments on the helmet?

[bold kernel]

because no one is selling the supressor

[reef prairie]

its not bad, but you cant hear anything and at this point the faceshield is useless

[cosmic tinsel]

why not use threaded lug and osprey?

[haughty tulip]

Ah that's what I wanted to hear

[cosmic tinsel]

this is for gunsmith, no?

[haughty tulip]

I know about the sound

[bold kernel]

that's not waht you need for the quest

is it?

[cosmic tinsel]

i mean thats what i did

[golden loom]

oh you need to get peacekeeper to level 2

[bold kernel]

can you show the set up?

[golden loom]

everything for mp5sd is at level 2
