[cosmic tinsel]

i dont... have it

just edit presetted it together

[golden loom]

also just check wiki

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Gunsmith_-_Part_3#Shopping_List

[reef prairie]

honestly, i wouldnt even bother wearing a helmet. or just use the ssh68

[bold kernel]

legit 0 quests

[golden loom]

you need to spend money

the first levels for peacekeeper dont need any rep

and get friend from the west done if you can

its a skier quest and it unlocks the peacekeeper questline

[deft nacelle]

been working on quests ye, not far on them but got the first prapor and the first mechanic one done, and im level 7

[golden loom]

and it gives a fuck ton of usd to level him up with

[cosmic tinsel]

this is on wiki

[deft nacelle]

i have the mechanical key to get the pocket watch, but i always die on customs

[random widget]

then I try interchange it all falls apart, bleugh

[golden loom]

its a 100% spawn rate in one of the jackets in dorms i think

just wait around for a while before going there tho

cause otherwise you will run into a lot of chads that will easily kill you

[deft nacelle]

someone else told me to get it from the truck so thats what ive been trying to do

[random widget]

the key or the pocket watch?

[deft nacelle]

watch

[golden loom]

the key

[deft nacelle]

i already have the key

[golden loom]

oh

[deft nacelle]

been keeping it in my container thing

[random widget]

ye smart move

have you tried doing a night raid?

[golden loom]

you can still probably just chill around before going to get watch

[deft nacelle]

machinery key, right? and no, im not able to see

[golden loom]

yeah machinery key

also night isnt too bad

[haughty tulip]

Btw thanks

[golden loom]

and you never run into many other pmc

[random widget]

it depends on your monitor and settings

[haughty tulip]

Night raid best raid

[golden loom]

but problem is then you can run into cultists

cause they in that area

[deft nacelle]

in dark areas on reserve i can never see, so i figured night was the same. and dont they only have knifes?

[golden loom]

they also have guns

at first they try to sneak up on you and knife you

[reef prairie]

good guns

[void thunder]

they shoot after you kill one

[golden loom]

but if you shoot at them or something then they will start shooting back

[void thunder]

or if you anger the cultist leader

[cosmic tinsel]

this is for customs?

[deft nacelle]

damn

[golden loom]

but it wont always be all of them

[reef prairie]

but they are usually not near the truck

[golden loom]

one will always try to sneak up on you

[deft nacelle]

idk if i wanna try night then lol, lowkey sounds spooky

[cosmic tinsel]

cultists are only around fortress, and they spawn like 20% of the time

ive been hunting them

[random widget]

I've done so many night customs, this is the first I've heard of that lol

[cosmic tinsel]

as long as you dont go near fortress you good

[golden loom]

if you know customs well and know which areas to avoid then you should be fine

[slow tangle]

What do i do with cpus?

[deft nacelle]

all i know about customs is crossroads and dorms

[tawdry lily]

Yeah

[cosmic tinsel]

as long as you dont between crack house and old gas you're good

[bold kernel]

now for part 4

[golden loom]

personally i would just run along the main road and you pass the truck you need to get

[random widget]

required for quests, upgrades for hideout, and good money on flea

[cosmic tinsel]

and even then... it's unlikely

[golden loom]

and nobody usually goes there

[slow tangle]

I've got 2, should i just save them then?

[golden loom]

yeah

save them

[deft nacelle]

i might try it out, im babysitting rn and i feel like shes gonna start acting up as soon as i start a game

might just take a pistol and go for it

[golden loom]

thats one way to do it

[reef prairie]

you cant just shoot the baby

[deft nacelle]

lmaooo

[bold kernel]

i found this key called cottage back entrance key and i dont know if i should sell it or keep it

[deft nacelle]

shes 6 but tends to be annoying

[golden loom]

keep it

you need it for a quest

and also theres 2 safes in there

one is locked

but with the other cottage thats 4 safes in very close proximity

you can make big money off of it

but if you dont run shoreline then its not worth

[random widget]

was it on top of some blue water barrels in shoreline ? 🤔

[bold kernel]

no i found it on a dead pmc

[random widget]

:o

[deft nacelle]

well, wish me luck. going into a 1:43 customs lol

[reef prairie]

you could also sell it now and buy it when you need it

its not that expensive

[random widget]

crank up that brightness and contrast lol

[bold kernel]

i think its going for 400k

[golden loom]

its 340k

[bold kernel]

yea

[strong jolt]

good interchange run?

[deft nacelle]

got it as high as i can lmao

[reef prairie]

thats not expensive

[deft nacelle]

nice

[cosmic tinsel]

its required for a quest

[keen sorrel]

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

[golden loom]

the quest isnt kappa now that i think about it

[cosmic tinsel]

this is just interchange run.jpg

[random widget]

oh nice it dropped, was over 570k earlier today

time to buy it I guess, haven't had any luck on the spawn

[strong jolt]

well not really because I don't have 15 shrap10 in my kappa

[cosmic tinsel]

casuals run shrap 10

[strong jolt]

indeed

[cosmic tinsel]

sophisticated gents run 25

[reef prairie]

chads run ap20

[cosmic tinsel]

but also interchange is a busted map that needs loot rework lol

[reef prairie]

you even get to aim

[bold kernel]

chads don't run ap20

they run mag buck or flachette

[strong jolt]

yeah it's really bad atm. a ton of fighting all at once and then nothing

[golden loom]

yeah all the loot is in one spot

[bold kernel]

idiot wanna be snipers run ap20

[golden loom]

texho and techlight and ultra med all in the same corner

then just down the hall is rasmussen or however you spell it

[strong jolt]

and ras right around the corner

yeah

[reef prairie]

and lots of pcs

[golden loom]

need to spread that shit out

[cosmic tinsel]

and even thenyou can sprint at german

[strong jolt]

I hate the map but I wanna fill up my bitcoin farm lol

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah

i spent a week doin interchange

and i was just seething at how profitable it was

[golden loom]

luckily pharmacy and emercom are on the other side of the map

[strong jolt]

and idea

[golden loom]

i can usually sneak in there and back out without seeing a single pmc

[reef prairie]

its stupid how easy you make money on interchange

[cosmic tinsel]

idea right next to powerstation tho

u get that powerstation spawn

[reef prairie]

more so if you have high endurance

[golden loom]

yeah powerstation is also really good

and sometimes unlooted

[deft nacelle]

i have no idea where i spawned 😄

[cosmic tinsel]

you've got like 6 graphics/tetriz spawns in the first 90 seconds of the raid

[strong jolt]

and then not a sound lol

except maybe you find the last roaming chad late in the raid

[reef prairie]

and if you miss that you can loot pcs, cpu 100k, cirduit board 40k

[random widget]

oh so gpu's are just laying randomly about in the mall? I thought they were random spawns in pcs only 🤔 maybe I've been going at this the wrong way

[reef prairie]

no they have static spawns

[strong jolt]

no in fact I haven't found a gpu in a pc all wipe

[random ridge]

How frowned upon would it be if I exfil camped smugglers in customs

For shooter born in heaven

[cosmic tinsel]

ive NEVER found a gpu in a pc, across 4 wipes

[strong jolt]

just do SBIH off spawn

[cosmic tinsel]

ive seen it happen, but ive only found em in world spawns

[strong jolt]

there are a couple good spawns for it on big red side

[random ridge]

Yeah train and that shack

[deft nacelle]

fml, im by gas station

[reef prairie]

i had a gpu in a stash once, but never in pcs

[random ridge]

Where I was planning on doing it

[deft nacelle]

this is gonna be the one time reshala spawns here

[cosmic tinsel]

just dont tell anyone lol

[random ridge]

Yup stash is where I found my only gpu

[random ridge]

Hahaha ok I WONT do it then 😉

[cosmic tinsel]

i proned out in the construction area and looked at fortress and dorms

and then i left a bait bag near the railroad tracks towards gas station

[reef prairie]

i even found one in marked 😆

[tardy iris]

need help with jaeger quest (we can call in private call) msg me(na)

[cosmic tinsel]

i got 2 kills on bait bag and one guy running to crack house from fortress

[deft nacelle]

"go dwon main road" they siad

"youll be fine" they siad

[golden loom]

were you not fine?

[cosmic tinsel]

survival not ensured

[deft nacelle]

im currently hiding from grenades barrages

[cosmic tinsel]

lol

[golden loom]

are you by gas station

[deft nacelle]

ye

[golden loom]

ah

[deft nacelle]

in between it and bus

[golden loom]

reshala is probably there

him and his boys usually nade spam

[deft nacelle]

i just heard someone die :3

im legit just proned in a big bush with a pistol

[haughty tulip]

Survival trough any road you take isn't guaranteed

Survival of those who peak me are 100% guaranteed to meet a their screen with (head,eyes)

Imagine this dude looted and left and I go pick the scraps only for him to come back and get head eyes

[tulip junco]

Need some help with extracting on woods

[deft nacelle]

im scared 🙂

[haughty tulip]

[golden loom]

wait wtf

the entire first page of grenade cases are all for euros

and like half of the second page

[haughty tulip]

sheep mentality

one guy sees someone placing the price in euros and does the same

then another 2 guys watch 2 in euros then do the same

now everyone posts in euro seeing that no one is doing it in roubles

Happened the same with shrouds mask

[random ridge]

yeh many people wont nkow how to price it in roubles either

so its just left at that

[haughty tulip]

well

the avg is in roubles

[random ridge]

avg is usually off tho innit

[reef prairie]

you can convert euros to dollars with those

[random ridge]

or from what ive noticed

[haughty tulip]

eh

The avg is a decent guide

[tardy iris]

need help with jaeger quest (we can call in private call) msg me(na)

[haughty tulip]

not 100% accurate but decent

[smoky timber]

if i spend all my money on bitcoin mining does it already come with a gpu or nah

[random ridge]

nope

[haughty tulip]

no

[random ridge]

need to add the gpus

[smoky timber]

k

[haughty tulip]

i wish

[random ridge]

but i think its profitable?

[haughty tulip]

Yes

Even 1 gpu is

[tardy iris]

you fuck up like 1.6 mill per gpu

[smoky timber]

yes

[random ridge]

isnt that like 1 btc per day

[haughty tulip]

It's worth it

[smoky timber]

well

[haughty tulip]

Yes

[smoky timber]

i waent to customs marked

[haughty tulip]

Exactly 1 bitcoin per day

[smoky timber]

got gpu and medcase

sold both

so i have a lot of money

[haughty tulip]

There's a couple tech spawns in customs

That can give you gpu

[deft nacelle]

i just got sniped in pitch black

[smoky timber]

where

[deft nacelle]

fuck this game

[smoky timber]

once i got a gpu in a stash

[haughty tulip]

Usec building

[tardy iris]

anyone know woods?

[smoky timber]

on customs

[haughty tulip]

And storage

[smoky timber]

usec building

k

[haughty tulip]

I don't know woods

You know the green room

[random ridge]

how do people push up their listings

no entiendo

[tardy iris]

same i need help with it

[smoky timber]

green room?

[haughty tulip]

It spawns on the ground on the desk with the 2 PC

Yeah

You know usec building right

[smoky timber]

like uh biog red?

[haughty tulip]

No

[smoky timber]

i will look it up

[haughty tulip]

That's the opposite side

[royal bloom]

Is there a thing as Ghillie suit in tarkov? 😄

[haughty tulip]

No

[smoky timber]

they should add that

[royal bloom]

:((

[smoky timber]

wait

not scav house

[haughty tulip]

You know it by repair shop?

Maybe?

I call it usec because of the key

[smoky timber]

i just go around and loot all the stashes becas i memorized all of them

really easy

[reef prairie]

you mean upstairs in usec right?

[haughty tulip]

Yeah

[smoky timber]

and sometimes tier 5 armor

[haughty tulip]

Where the green screen room is

[smoky timber]

OOOHHHH

ok

i got it

[haughty tulip]

And storage is the other one

[smoky timber]

i remember that building

yes

[haughty tulip]

I can't explain you where

[reef prairie]

ive never been up there

[haughty tulip]

I got 2 gpu from there

[reef prairie]

i should check it i guess

[haughty tulip]

yep

people overlook it so bad

because when you mention gpu you usually think reserve

[smoky timber]

so there are gpus there?

[reef prairie]

because the rooms upstairs are new

[haughty tulip]

yep

[smoky timber]

green and storage

[reef prairie]

and the usec stash has no loot most of the time

[haughty tulip]

Yet the key is so expensive

lol

It's mostly for weapons

[smoky timber]

whats the key called

[random ridge]

time for shooter born in heaven baby

[haughty tulip]

Usec storage key?

idk the exact name

[hardy marsh]

im back everyone

[haughty tulip]

I have it

[reef prairie]

im used to avoid that building because there was nothing in there before the expansion

[smoky timber]

yep ok dont wanna put 400k on that

[haughty tulip]

you dont even need to loot it

just go check for hpu

[smoky timber]

i might just use the rest of my marked key

what is the percentage of gpu being there

i will look it up

chance*

[reef prairie]

pretty low probably

i found one, and im almost on the fourth key

[smoky timber]

ive only found 2 in my career

[reef prairie]

dont forget to loot the jackets in dorms btw

[haughty tulip]

yeah

as low as the rest

[reef prairie]

especially those downstairs, i got lots of good keys from them

[smoky timber]

wait storage gas station?

nah

thats meds

[haughty tulip]

you get good keys from any jacket ngl

[arctic hatch]

is there anyone can teach me shoreline well ? and able to play most of the times

[haughty tulip]

Jackets are a good thing to loot whenever

[random ridge]

yeh jackets are just like a cs case

can get anything

no set value

[reef prairie]

in theory yeah, but some seem to be better than others

[keen sorrel]

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

[random ridge]

the ones in woods shacks

[deft nacelle]

how do i not die

[random ridge]

in sawmill

ive found plenty of ok keys there

like 50k ish

[deft nacelle]

like legit, im getting sniped while inside buildings sometimes

[random ridge]

not unreal obviously but worth looting

[reef prairie]

i found multiple factory and checkpoint in dorms, and an ultra med

[random ridge]

ultra med is seriously expensive isnt it?

i also dont understand why checkpoint is expensive

the loots pretty meh

[reef prairie]

yeah, at the time it was basically barter only

or trade

like the green it was so expensive that the fees would be way to high

checkpoint sells the therapist for 61k

it used to be way more

[random ridge]

i legit just got the worst spawn for shooter born in heaven next to crack house bruh

or near

[grizzled mountain]

does anyone know how to get a fps boost in like customs and stuff

[reef prairie]

i dont know any secrets, its like every game, turn everything mid to low/off

[grizzled mountain]

aight

[reef prairie]

its cpu-heavy, so close any program you dont need

can cause fps-drops

[grand skiff]

best way to train vitality? been upgrading my hideout lately and need like 7 points for level 3

[reef prairie]

taking damage

[cosmic tinsel]

if thats the hurting yourself one... stand in a fire

and then heal

[reef prairie]

and you get a level from a quest

barbwire is less risky

[tardy iris]

can anyone pls help me with wood

[grand skiff]

any good spot for doing it with barbwire?

[reef prairie]

or just keep a light bleed (if youre safe of course)

[grand skiff]

that would work?

[reef prairie]

yes

[grand skiff]

oh nice

[reef prairie]

everything that deals damage

[cosmic tinsel]

tons of barbwire in customs

[random ridge]

time to possibly 100m headshot some poor pmc

[reef prairie]

good choice

the sv98 i mean

[random ridge]

i bought in a kit aswell as a mosin last raid and got fucked

[reef prairie]

not the face

[random ridge]

hoping spawn rng is nice to me and i can get to a spot

im tryna get on that shack on bridge

[grizzled mountain]

any tips on how to play right

[random ridge]

no universal tips tbh

all i can say is dont pick a fight every time you see a pmc

sometimes you better just let them off

[grizzled mountain]

ok

[random ridge]

and sometimes running is better than winning a fight lol

[grizzled mountain]

ok

[random ridge]

are you completely new?

[reef prairie]

dont be afraid to hide if you hear someone

[grizzled mountain]

a few days new

[random ridge]

ok

learn customs

for a first map

[grizzled mountain]

aight

[random ridge]

its an easy learn and a lot of quests

not an easy map tho

imo

[grizzled mountain]

oh yeah also does every extract have an exit sign

[random ridge]

no

[reef prairie]

dont crouch around, and remember, when youre sitting in a bush every movement is audible

[random ridge]

oh yeah thats a mistake I made

[reef prairie]

had so many low lvls doing that

[grizzled mountain]

lol

[random ridge]

i used to crouch around everyyywhere

[bold kernel]

pov: 3 stack of pmcs running towards dorms

[random ridge]

i saw a level 40 crouching around in factory lol

[grizzled mountain]

lmao

[random ridge]

but ye dont just crouch around every building

say if im pushing dorms i run in and chill in a room for a second and soundwhore

then clear

[reef prairie]

i didnt even mean crouching

[random ridge]

slow walking

[cosmic tinsel]

if you need me im gonna be crouchin around factory

[reef prairie]

i mean prone and moving

whats it called?

[bold kernel]

watch out for boss scav too

[cosmic tinsel]

crawling?

[random ridge]

my first ever raid I slow walked across factory with the best out of my starting stash

[reef prairie]

right, doh

[tulip junco]

Can i get help with a few quest ? I don't know my extracts

[grizzled mountain]

how do you know if somebodys a scav or pmc

[reef prairie]

i didnt even walk at full speed the first raids

i was paranoid everyone could hear me

[valid scarab]

i just assume everything is pmc but they jnormally have a vest thingy

[bold kernel]

tags or clothing

[valid scarab]

idk either im just guessing as i kiled a scav and it had scav vest

[reef prairie]

and gear

but theres always a player scav in pmc gear, or a pmc that looks like a scav

[grizzled mountain]

ok

[bold kernel]

yea

rats

[reef prairie]

assume everythings hostile

even as scav

[grizzled mountain]

i already do that cuz welyn

[bold kernel]

scav is pmc with aimbot

[valid scarab]

wewyn

[reef prairie]

after a while you can tell when its ai the way they move

[grizzled mountain]

cuz im pretty sure the human players just stand still while shooting unless they accurate as hell

[reef prairie]

no they usually strafe

[haughty tulip]

No they might lock on you

[bold kernel]

some scavs prone

[haughty tulip]

You never underestimate scav

[grizzled mountain]

yes

[haughty tulip]

As a scav you'll know which one is player tho

That one you have to shoot

[bold kernel]

ive had one do a 180 headtap me:(

[reef prairie]

shotgun scavs are more danger than any pmc

[grizzled mountain]

anyways thx guys imma go play some tarkov

[haughty tulip]

Just gotta remember if that player wasn't marked the ai is gonna aim for that as s

[random ridge]

what do you reckon guys

150 to the road?

[bold kernel]

200

[random ridge]

thanks

[bold kernel]

175 to the road

[random ridge]

my fuckin bipod wont work

[dawn geyser]

It's not functional

[bold kernel]

if you need 100 youll be fine

hit the head 😉

[random ridge]

i was wondering more about the paging

[dawn geyser]

Yeah I was thinking that too

You're probably fine at 100 if it can fine tune there

[tardy iris]

can anyone help me with jeager quest

[dawn geyser]

I think it goes at interv's of 25 right

[bold kernel]

[random ridge]

200 sounds right from that spot

[bold kernel]

physical help or mental

[reef prairie]

[tardy iris]

physical help

[random ridge]

[haughty tulip]

smh if you are bringing M995 bring me more than 1 mag

[bold kernel]

you know to find the plane and is hut

oki

[random ridge]

how do people play sniper

[bold kernel]

[haughty tulip]

You equip a gun with a scope

[tardy iris]

if we spawn where i know

[haughty tulip]

Long range scope

[bold kernel]

lmao

[haughty tulip]

Then camp some place

[bold kernel]

aim on head then shoot

[reef prairie]

is that still the 1p59?

[bold kernel]

ok

[haughty tulip]

That's aboutit

[bold kernel]

Na?

[tardy iris]

yup

[random ridge]

ye ik i mean its boring lol

[haughty tulip]

yep

[bold kernel]

2 man squad #4?

[haughty tulip]

welcome to sniping

[tardy iris]

ok

[haughty tulip]

camp and shoot from far

And remember to rotate

[tardy iris]

some join

[random ridge]

someone will probably hit stashes soon

[haughty tulip]

Because you don't want to get pushed

[random ridge]

so i should be good

[tardy iris]

ok

i joined

[haughty tulip]

oh damn

This armor just saved my life

I didn't notice how many m995 it took for me

MVP

I have to thank the guy who wore an altyn in factory

[foggy magnet]

could anyone help me out with this quest "pharmacist" i keep dying when i go to dorms to get the briefcase

[haughty tulip]

wait until everyone leave

then go in

or go after you get the best spawn

[keen sorrel]

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

[foggy magnet]

should i do hatchet or no?

[haughty tulip]

Take a pistol

You don't want to die to scavs

And make sure you bring patience

[foggy magnet]

ok what pistol do you think is the best for cheap runs? i normally use PM but i die a lot

[haughty tulip]

Any really

[random widget]

any cheap pistol that you can shoot a scav with? 🤔

[haughty tulip]

I'd bring one that has decent accuracy tho

[foggy magnet]

pm sometime doesn't one shot at the scavs unless the moa is just that bad

[haughty tulip]

it is that bad yep

[reef prairie]

why use a pistol if you can bring a sks

[foggy magnet]

is glock better?

[reef prairie]

its like 15k

[haughty tulip]

because he wants to do the task and leave

oh well

yeah

[reef prairie]

even cheaper than most pistols

[haughty tulip]

well no

there's 5k pistols

[reef prairie]

i mean pistols that are usable

[haughty tulip]

ah well

[reef prairie]

9mm, shrimp, 5-7

[cosmic tinsel]

pistols get looted more than skses too

because pistol slot is free

[haughty tulip]

eh

some times

[reef prairie]

and ps ammo is better than any pistol ammo you can/want afford

[hardy marsh]

i mean cheap pistols are pretty worth it to just kill a scav and take its loot

[haughty tulip]

yes

[reef prairie]

why make it harder for just a couple thousand?

[haughty tulip]

and close enough they get the job done

that too

[hardy marsh]

im going in pistol on interchange rn just to kill scavs

[reef prairie]

i run a lot of pistols, but they need some attachments and good ammo

[obsidian jungle]

yo

is this worth anything

[reef prairie]

you can buy 7.62 ps from lvl1 prapor

[obsidian jungle]

object 21 keycard?

21ws

[reef prairie]

yes

[obsidian jungle]

how much?

[hardy marsh]

900k i think

[reef prairie]

its the container at the parking lot

1 mil it hink

[obsidian jungle]

HOLY WTF

[dawn geyser]

https://tarkov-market.com/item/object_21ws_keycard

[reef prairie]

on interchange

[foggy magnet]

why is so expensive? what dooes you get form it?

[reef prairie]

lots of good attachments

[hardy marsh]

just weapon attachments but it can be worth it

[reef prairie]

trooper armor

vases

[foggy magnet]

trooper armour is only like 100k

[haughty tulip]

not worth it tho

[reef prairie]

the attachments are worth it

[foggy magnet]

for 15 uses you can get many troopers

[reef prairie]

some are crazy expensive because people need it and cant buy it from traders

and it spawns "high end" attachments

[random ridge]

i have come to the conclusion sniping is most definitley not for me

time to extract

[foggy magnet]

even if you get only 8 or 10 troopers out of the 15 runs it makes money back

[hardy marsh]

youll make your money back for sure

[foggy magnet]

that's just the armour too

[reef prairie]

what scope are you using?

[random ridge]

cheap jaeger one lemme check

[reef prairie]

i usually dont even take the trooper

[random ridge]

pilad 4x32

[reef prairie]

takes too much space

[reef prairie]

no wonder, thats really bad. invest into a tac 30

[random ridge]

i didnt mind the scope

i got every kill

the problem is they were all scavs lol

i just dont have the patience to wait

[steep hound]

if anyone wants a rivals armaband i posted it up for a thicc case barter

[foggy magnet]

why would you trade thicc case for a cosmetic

bruv

some people

[reef prairie]

and beginners assistance is the best place to post it

[steep hound]

why would u trade green keycard for a cosmetic

[random widget]

I'm sure the first thing I would do as a new player is trade for some useless wristband 🤔

[reef prairie]

i give you 2 gpus

[grizzled mountain]

Anyone know how to wipe their stuff and start over

[haughty tulip]

at some point you are just that filthy rich

[reef prairie]

login to the eft website, theres a button in youre profile

[haughty tulip]

where you trade useful items for stuff to look good

[cosmic tinsel]

this bad boy cost me 10 gpus

[golden loom]

i still dont understand that tho

[hardy marsh]

yeah i never understood that^

[haughty tulip]

ahahaha

nice

[reef prairie]

what else would you do with all the money?

[golden loom]

i didnt understand buying clothing at the start of the wipe

[haughty tulip]

yep

[golden loom]

like 1 mil for some pants

[haughty tulip]

when you get to max bitcoin farm

[cosmic tinsel]

im not even tarkov rich

[haughty tulip]

you'll understand

[cosmic tinsel]

but im 50/50 btc

[golden loom]

but now that i got 47 mil im like ah nice and cheap

[reef prairie]

yours?

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

[haughty tulip]

man

[reef prairie]

i thought youre rich

[haughty tulip]

the best way to get guns

[cosmic tinsel]

ive unlocked all the clothing i can from ragman except for tracksuit

[haughty tulip]

is reserve by far

[cosmic tinsel]

just goin for 100% completion at this point

[haughty tulip]

I don't even bother I just go in to take people stuff

Then use their stuff to get someone else stuff

[golden loom]

speaking of the tracksuit

we need to get like half the server all to dress up as killa at the same time

and just every interchange lobby

is filled with killa

[cosmic tinsel]

do you understand how miserable that would make interchange

[haughty tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/why-huh-but-why-gif-13199396

[cosmic tinsel]

half of the playerbase farming killa

[golden loom]

it would be fun while it lasts tho

[cosmic tinsel]

hunter nakeds are already all over interchange

[golden loom]

fair point

[cosmic tinsel]

and what % of players are farming killa? 1% tops?

😄

[random ridge]

not one pmc couldve crossed land bridge

[reef prairie]

mp7 nakeds are way more annoying

[random ridge]

bruh

[golden loom]

bro the 40 seconds left on my scav case is the longest god damn 45 seconds of my life

also not really

the mp7 is more expensive

especially the ammo if you dont have mechanic lvl 4

[reef prairie]

yeah

[golden loom]

ap rounds are like 3k a round and fmj is 2k a round

[reef prairie]

price is not the point

ap sx is only 1k

270 per reset i think, thats not bad

[tawdry lily]

I really can’t be bothered farming killa again

Too much of a hassle

[golden loom]

yeah but anybody under level 40 gotta buy it for way more

[reef prairie]

those nakeds are usually higher lvl

[golden loom]

damn its 2k a round now

earlier today it was like 3k a round

[reef prairie]

if you alternate platforms, you can easily get by with what you get from traders

[haughty tulip]

As time goes the amount increases so price decreases

[golden loom]

wait wdym alternate platforms?

[random ridge]

time to hit marked room and call it a day

[reef prairie]

i buy all the good ammo every chance i get (m61, ss190, 855a1, 7n31, ap sx) and use different guns. if i run out of 9mm i switch to 5.45 for example

[golden loom]

ah

[reef prairie]

that way i rarely have to buy from flea

always trying to keep a stock of everything, makes it way cheaper

[cosmic tinsel]

^

[haughty tulip]

I don't remember buying from flea

ammo

Just go get a couple kills on factory

Or kill raiders in reserve

I just got 240 bullets of m855a1

[grizzled mountain]

lmao i reset my progress

[reef prairie]

sure, easy beginner things

just wipe labs bro

[golden loom]

i got a massive stock of 855a1, 995, and m61 but i dont use any of it

[haughty tulip]

Yeah

Just wipe labs

ez ammo

But getting loot from reserve is easy

You can get loads of BT and BS

Plus raiders are dead a lot of time or dead pmcs full of loot

[reef prairie]

you can make good money on any map if you know it

[haughty tulip]

Well yeah

But not as fast as you could do reserve

[reef prairie]

but yeah, reserve has vast amounts of loot

[haughty tulip]

Because interchange is hard inside the mall

Customs got meh loot

Shoreline stashes

[reef prairie]

not if you go round the back

on inter

stashes on customs

[haughty tulip]

Yeah

I used to run that

[golden loom]

marked room on customs do exist

[haughty tulip]

You get 300-500k most of the time

Also pvp

on dorms

[random ridge]

fun raid

[haughty tulip]

If you get lucky you can get to marked room loot and leave

[golden loom]

also nobody goes to the idea side

[haughty tulip]

Bro

[reef prairie]

if i wanna make easy money i go customs at night, run the stashes

[golden loom]

so go pharmacy then emercom

[haughty tulip]

Analyze what you do so you don't get shoot the same way

Besides

[golden loom]

theres a good chance to get gpu and ledx in emercom

[haughty tulip]

What best teacher than head,eyes

[reef prairie]

youre through in like 10 minutes and low risk

[random ridge]

hahaha exaclty

i found a new spawn roatation i didnt know existed

[haughty tulip]

In reserve

Just yesterday

In like 10 scav runs

I got 6 tetriz

1 array

Loads of raider loot

[random ridge]

this is an awful callout but you know the hole in the wall in customs by unitar checkpoint

[haughty tulip]

Ezpz

[random ridge]

that leads in to construction

[haughty tulip]

yes

thats a good callout tho

[golden loom]

where do you guys find all the raiders on reserve

[haughty tulip]

bro

K buildings

[random ridge]

yeh i spawned by land bridge so pushed that and didnt realize I could find pmcs on the other side straight away

[reef prairie]

where the unknwn key spawns

[random ridge]

found 2 altyn fellas lol

now i know

[haughty tulip]

huh

[golden loom]

i never find raiders its pain

[reef prairie]

yeah, some are pretty quick

happened to me too

[haughty tulip]

where did you crossed

trough the brdige?

[random ridge]

land bridge

[haughty tulip]

that's the middle bridge?

[reef prairie]

no

[random ridge]

i belive so

[haughty tulip]

Not the bridge bridge

[random ridge]

nevermind no

not bridge bridge

land bridge

[haughty tulip]

The middle one from the 3 bridges

[random ridge]

like

grass bridge

[haughty tulip]

yeah

[golden loom]

theres 2 land bridges the main one and junk bridge

[random ridge]

right side

[reef prairie]

middle one is small land bridge

[random ridge]

oh right big land bridge

[reef prairie]

big land, small land, bridge and junk bridge

[haughty tulip]

Yeah there's a chance people cross small land bridge as you cross big land

Since there's a spawn on the 4 corners around that area

[reef prairie]

i hate that spawn at big landbridge

[random ridge]

by the trains?

[golden loom]

all the spawns on the customs side suck other than the one by junk bridge

[reef prairie]

i always have someone spawn on the other side of the wall

[random ridge]

yeah i was going for dorms too

i hate crossing just takes time

[golden loom]

you are almost always guaranteed to get in a fight

[reef prairie]

inside big red is the worst

[haughty tulip]

I mean

I barely got in any fights

When I spawned on storage side

[random ridge]

I rarely even get in to fights

but if you're playing for dorms its annoying

[haughty tulip]

Because well I know the map damn too well

I spammed that map for like 25 levels

lmao

[random ridge]

im doing the exact same

im level 23 and only knwo factory customs and woods

im scavving reserve now

interchange scares me

[haughty tulip]

I'm scaving reserve and pmc on factory

[golden loom]

learn shoreline offline

[haughty tulip]

to get my pvp going

[reef prairie]

customs is the map i play most since the beginning

[haughty tulip]

so far I'm on a 3 streak with 6 kills on factory

[random ridge]

yeah my shoreline questline is kinda coming up

[golden loom]

a lot of the quests are on shoreline

[random ridge]

i probably should

[reef prairie]

its just fun

[random ridge]

factory is by far my favorite map

has made me millions with little risk

[golden loom]

as someone who isnt good at pvp i dont like factory

[haughty tulip]

well idk if millions

[cosmic tinsel]

whiney got addicted to shrap 25

[reef prairie]

factory with a shotgun gave me all my kits early wipe

[random ridge]

millions is a stretch

[cosmic tinsel]

or was that dovah

[haughty tulip]

But I take people stuff and use it for other raids

[random ridge]

maybe like 1.5 mil total this wipe

[haughty tulip]

I haven't ran ks yet

[random ridge]

I use shrap 10 atleast 10 raids a day in factory

[cosmic tinsel]

hahahaha

[haughty tulip]

I am running the altyn and the ak i took from someone

I am actually out of space for guns

[reef prairie]

im a simple man, i run the mp153 with buckshot

[haughty tulip]

Bro

run the 155

The 153 is not as accurate

over longer distance

[reef prairie]

who needs accurate if you can spam 8 shots?

[haughty tulip]

Well you also need to actually hit the target

:lelw

[reef prairie]

i usually push office, so its mainly cqc

[random ridge]

wrong screenshot

[cosmic tinsel]

there is no 155?

[haughty tulip]

uh

[random ridge]

was just thinking what fuckin backpack does this guy have lol

its a targer

target

[haughty tulip]

my bad

I am confused because I'm hungry

[reef prairie]

you mean 133?

[haughty tulip]

it's the 133 and 153

fook

[cosmic tinsel]

ye

[haughty tulip]

well yeaah the 153 rocks

[cosmic tinsel]

and you gotta be nutty to run a pump

[haughty tulip]

the 133 sucks

I run shotgun

no scope as well

[random ridge]

is east wing 306 good

[reef prairie]

i only take a 8 round 133 mag and the choke

[haughty tulip]

My feed says (head,eye) a lot

[random ridge]

valuable i mean

[haughty tulip]

Because shotgun is my favorite

#MP153Gang rise up

[reef prairie]

you need it for a quest iirc

[random ridge]

what does iirc mean actually lol

have heard it alot

[reef prairie]

if i remember correctly

[haughty tulip]

FIR?

Found in raid?

wut

iirc?

[reef prairie]

yeah, 306 (or 308) is needed for two quests

[foggy heart]

Well guess Tarkov can b Toxic as well, joined some ppls group just to b gunned down as soon as I spawn with them. Oh joy killing a lvl 4 hope there prod

[reef prairie]

from discord or random in game?

[cosmic tinsel]

LFG in game is a scam

almost exclusively fight clubs

[random ridge]

in this discord or on tarkov

[cosmic tinsel]

"in game"

[random ridge]

oh rite

[reef prairie]

even if it wasnt, how would you communicate?

[random ridge]

exactly

you shouldnt be able to even join random games imo

only people on your friends list

[cosmic tinsel]

ehh i use it to join with you guys

but jumpin in w/o vc is a trap

[ocean wolf]

anyone need help

[foggy magnet]

@ocean wolf yes please

i would like some help on a customs quest if you're not busy

[glass stone]

you simply cannot play tarkov without comms

[cosmic tinsel]

omg he did the meme

[glass stone]

you'll either end up lost or getting team killed

[ocean wolf]

oki im off for the night muted's internet went out if anyone needs help msg me i can respond tmrw when i get up

[lime echo]

is this where i find a coach?

[cosmic tinsel]

you can ask here or at sherpahub

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[cosmic tinsel]

we got a few people that run raids regularly

and a lot of people that can answer questions

[rustic plank]

Is it worth buying dollars for peacekeeper level 2?

[random widget]

I hear rumors buying diaries on flea market and selling to him is a better tradeoff

guess you can use a calculator and find out the limit to break even

[slow tangle]

Can someone help with signal part 1?

[naive atlas]

@rustic plank yes

you will use the dollars anyway and saves the hassle of buying/selling

[rustic plank]

How many dollars do I need if I have 4.4K out of 11k

Do you know the math?

[cosmic tinsel]

subtract 4.4 from 11

[rustic plank]

Jesus Christ

I need 6600 dollars and it would cost 825000 rubles

[ocean wolf]

not bad

[rustic plank]

That seems off but it’s probably not lmfao

[ocean wolf]

good trade off tbh

the dollars are good to, to have

[cosmic tinsel]

so you can look into the conversion rates of buying straight dollars, or buying ssds/diaries and selling to PK

[ocean wolf]

i did slim diaries

[cosmic tinsel]

ssds and diaries have historically provided better value/rub than just buyin dollars

[rustic plank]

Diary goes for 230 dollars and costs 33-40k

[ocean wolf]

try slim diary

see what that is

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah whats 33k rub buy you

if its less than 230 dollars thats value

if not its not value

[rustic plank]

It would cost 957000 with regular diseases

[cosmic tinsel]

oof

[ocean wolf]

diseases?

pog lol

[rustic plank]

Diaries

[ocean wolf]

time to spread ebola

[rustic plank]

I’m on phone lmfao

[ocean wolf]

yea lol

check what SSD and Slim diary would cost

[rustic plank]

Slim is 816000 for level 2

[ocean wolf]

yea thats what i did, looks cheaper then buying reg dollars to

just barley

[rustic plank]

Ssd is cheapest

Ssd would be 798000

[ocean wolf]

nice

[strong sphinx]

I NEED HELP ASAP I GOT DISCONNECTED AND WHEN I RECONNECTED I CAN SEE THROUGH WALLS BUT CANT MOVE

[rustic plank]

If each ssd you buy sells for 38000

[strong sphinx]

SOMEONE HELP PLS

[rustic plank]

Join chit chat 1 2 or 3

They probably know

[ocean wolf]

what we supposed to do about that lol

[rustic plank]

Or they’ll just say you’re hacking

[dawn geyser]

Alt F4 your game and relog

[strong sphinx]

I got server disconnected

[ocean wolf]

1 sec lemme just hack the mainframe and fix your game pappay lol

[strong sphinx]

i did twice

I thiink im gonna fucking lose my shit

[dawn geyser]

Keep doing it

Nothing you can do other than that

[rustic plank]

But idk if the trade with peacekeeper would be worth it really

Cause I only have 940000

[ocean wolf]

then i would get some more and do it later

[rustic plank]

It would leave me with almost 200k about

[ocean wolf]

1 tetriz is 800k in interchange you should be good

[rustic plank]

But don’t you get epsilon with level 2?

[strong sphinx]

this game is so fucking ass

[ocean wolf]

no, beta

beta container, epsilon is from punisher series quest from prapor

[rustic plank]

Beta is 2x3?

[ocean wolf]

yea

[rustic plank]

Ah would be nice

[ocean wolf]

epsilon is 2 x 4

yea im standard edition and that was the first thing i did

then i did stash upgrade

but keep in mind the beta container trade is expensive, like 1 - 2 mil i think

[random widget]

I was so busy trying to get my first gpu being crafted that I didn't notice I could craft flash drives to finally get that quest done :( I wonder how long this will take if I turn off fuel 🤔

[golden loom]

lemme just tell you next time game is on sale upgrade to eod

its 10/10

[ocean wolf]

ive been Standard for 5 wipes im fine

[golden loom]

just not having to upgrade the stash is a godsend

[ocean wolf]

yea

[cosmic tinsel]

i just swapped to eod for the season pass

[ocean wolf]

thats what was getting me meevo

[cosmic tinsel]

i was avoiding it bc i liked doing the upgrades, honestly

[ocean wolf]

i was thinking about the season pass

if it goes on a good sale i might but if its another 20% im good

[dawn geyser]

I think tarky eod is the most worth purchase for anyone in gaming these couple years

None of this battlepass crap that every single game is doing

[random widget]

well, yet

oh purchase some tarkov gems to upgrade your hideout instantly

man that insurance sure is taking it's sweet time, how about some tarkov gems?

predatory businesses can always be implemented

[bold kernel]

what is gem?

[cosmic tinsel]

its a joke

doesnt exist currently

[restive laurel]

what do u need to do this?

in hideout

[random widget]

upgrade workstation to 3 and get intelligence level 2

[cosmic tinsel]

monetization currently comes through upgrades, future DLCs, and related games (a tarkov TDM game)

[restive laurel]

thanks

[bold kernel]

aight, so im level 3. I understand loot and leave. anyone who can teach me the game for more than just that small amount?

[dawn geyser]

I highly advise just to watch a tarky 101 from pestily

There's just way too much to teach a FNG

[random widget]

then slide in an episode of his raid (2021) series between your runs while you sort loot or whatever

waiting for scav timer maybe ^^

[cosmic tinsel]

^this, plus theres a sherpahub discord (pinned, and i can link), that has people willing to spend some time to help. honestly this game requires so much game sense and map knowledge that the best thing you can do is start getting out there, seeing what goes wrong, and trying to make improvements

scaving and low gear kits are key when you're starting

lots of people run themselves outta inventory right off the bat

[bold kernel]

my inventory is almost full

lol

[cosmic tinsel]

thats a better start than most!

this server is super good at providing resources to players (teach a person to fish), and the more specific of a question you're able to bring to us, the better answers you'll get i think

[bold kernel]

ok, well anyone wanna teach me the pmc and scav exits on any map other than customs. Id be thankful. cause all I know is a few ways out on customs. but i need another map for better loot pools

[random widget]

I don't think there is a better teacher than yourself really there, throw up a map on your phone or something and look for keymarks. Maybe do some quest so you get your compass to make your bearings easier to find

[hardy marsh]

kodiak i would reccomend learning interchange and when you get a chance get keys for the map

[random widget]

Gonna start on the punisher aks74u quest tomorrow, does this look like it can handle the job, and maybe actually be a threat if a pmc wants to vector my ass?

[bold kernel]

what are the interchange keys, cause i have lots of keys'

[cosmic tinsel]

dont get keys at lvl 3

you'll want to watch an interchange loot guide - basically hitting all the tech stores in the mall looking for graphics cards and tetrizes (which look like small little game boy things)

[cosmic tinsel]

tetrizes are valuable because they can be traded to mechanic for bitcoins, which can then be sold to therapist for ~800k rub

[pine needle]

what can i use a graphics card i got a run through on

[cosmic tinsel]

bitcoin farm

if you dont have one yet, wait until you do have one, and throw it in

[ocean wolf]

https://clips.twitch.tv/FlaccidAwkwardPuppyBigBrother-HAsG2KAnq-31m92G

[bold kernel]

anyone have a good map oof interchange with exits marked?

[cosmic tinsel]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/

the wiki also has maps for every map

[ocean wolf]

na bruh mine better

XD

[cosmic tinsel]

the wiki should live on the second monitor

l m a o

emercom is so tiny

[bold kernel]

thank you, nest has given me a dragonscroll among parchment

[cosmic tinsel]

and you dont have hole in the fence marked!

[ocean wolf]

^

bruh it took me 30 seconds

na more like 2 minutes

lines are hard man

[cosmic tinsel]

this honestly gets funnier the longer i look at it

you completely skipped goshan
