[hushed kernel]

learning the game as a solo?

[dawn geyser]

WHen you get flashed by a Ks23 flasher

Then you're sitting there

[haughty tulip]

I learned the game as solo

[dawn geyser]

"did I kill him"

and you look down and his body is smoldering next to you

[haughty tulip]

I hear them die while flashed

[hushed kernel]

teach me your ways 😄

[sharp ridge]

im useless in this game

[azure scroll]

What else is not easy, I'm a deaf player lol deaf & solo

[dawn geyser]

The best way to learn this game is solo

[haughty tulip]

What lvl are you

[hushed kernel]

4

[cosmic tinsel]

my heart goes out for you

[hushed kernel]

and a half, but yea

[haughty tulip]

In december I was trash

Now I go pvp in factory

And wipe it

[sharp ridge]

good for you

[azure scroll]

it's rough but i've been getting better. clearing rooms & all that

[haughty tulip]

I went from BT 40 durability korund to new defender and altyn

Gotta grind and every time you feel frustrated it's alright

But keep tryin and watching vids

[sharp ridge]

good for you x2

[haughty tulip]

And asking questions

AS you go you'll transition from rat to brad to chad

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly impressive as heck

[cosmic tinsel]

BRAD

[hushed kernel]

yeah thats what I have been doing, but didn't find any youtuber that help me understand it well 😄

[haughty tulip]

BRAD

[cosmic tinsel]

love it

[haughty tulip]

I watch lvndmark for pvp

[cosmic tinsel]

lvndmark is a machine

[haughty tulip]

I see him play and I analyze what he does

Then put it to practice

Yes

[dawn geyser]

You guys should check out ROBN too

[haughty tulip]

Rice gamer

[dawn geyser]

Battle parkour aggression

xD

[haughty tulip]

I don't see pestily because his style doesn't fit me

[dawn geyser]

Man gets in places where I never even knew hitboxes existed

[haughty tulip]

I see him to watch how he rotates

He takes some routes that are brilliant

[hushed kernel]

well I have been watching shroud raid highlights it does help but yea still need to get the basics and stuff

[haughty tulip]

Nah

Don't watch shorund

[chrome nova]

ROBN really fun and kind guy, love him

[haughty tulip]

shroud

Shroud is aim

[sharp ridge]

s i g h

[dawn geyser]

Robn so wholesome

[haughty tulip]

Lvandmark is tactical

focuk

anyway

lets go

[hushed kernel]

well yea but also movement and map knowlege and all that stuff

[haughty tulip]

We are doing your tasks

Eh

Is there a duo channel open

2man #11

[hushed kernel]

at least from what I saw I like his playstile and how he handles fight more

[haughty tulip]

Letsgo

We are gonna get tasks done

[random ridge]

i dont watch insane pvpers cause i try mimick what they do and embarrass myself

dylhero tho

he is a weapon

[sharp ridge]

great dead in 1 minute

fucking great

im worthless on this game

[dawn geyser]

You're going to die in the first 15 levels

It's inevitable

[fresh kettle]

Any1 EU wanna pick me up for some raids? i've got my own gear, dont need donos

[dawn geyser]

Until you learn spawns

Until you learn the map

You will die

It doesn't matter if you have good aim or not @sharp ridge

[median kraken]

I will say even now as a mid 40s gamer i get killed instantly from nowhere every now and then

[dawn geyser]

This game isn't battlefield, it isn't call of duty

and frankly that's one of the magical things about this game lol

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah you watched me get slapped like 5 times today turt

but some day things go right

you body a 4 man squad

[bleak lily]

@cosmic tinsel so looking at those calibres its 5.45, 5.56, 7.62x51 7.62x54R and 9x39 only worthwhile right?

[random ridge]

other than backpack

am i missing anything

[dawn geyser]

Would wear a better class 5 but looks good

[random ridge]

ill put on my trooper

whats wrong with korund?

[dawn geyser]

Korund is budget class 5

Drops dura fast

[random ridge]

ohh right

so i got a 54 dura trooper that better?

[dawn geyser]

Trooper is class 4

even worse

If you're going to run the altyn bring a better class 5

[random ridge]

in my head it was class 5

ok ill bring alytn

korund**

i have a slick but not using it on my first raid of the day

proper raid

not running in factory with a ks raid

[normal cloud]

killa armor maybe?

[cosmic tinsel]

that korund is fine

its not meaningfully weaker yet per battlebuddy

[dawn geyser]

Thing is he's bringing an altyn

[cosmic tinsel]

2.5% pen chance from bt vs 1.2 fresh

[dawn geyser]

eh its ok

[cosmic tinsel]

oh

[sharp ridge]

i have no confidence in this game

[dawn geyser]

Did you read what I just typed Turtl

[cosmic tinsel]

aint nothin to it but to do it

[random ridge]

this game was a living hell for me at first

[sharp ridge]

im too anxious

[random ridge]

i put in a decent amount of money in a game and just quit after a week

picked up again this wipe and its really fun

just keep playing

[sharp ridge]

all my friends are busy doing pvp quests

[random ridge]

when you start making plays and money it gets 10 times better

[normal cloud]

what i would do is just go into customs or factory and just get used to a gun

it helps a lot to know your gun for me at least

[sharp ridge]

cant do that when you die 1 min into the match by a chad

[median kraken]

I've gotten 800 hours this wipe and i went from complete bot to factory wiper in pvp skill

[normal cloud]

thats why i suggested customs too. learn where scavs spawn and hunt them

[cosmic tinsel]

for players that arent running meta chad builds, yeah. most rounds have a place in the game but if you're trying to risk little and gain lots, those rounds punch meaningfully above their prices*

[normal cloud]

5.45x39 BT is really good for the price

[dawn geyser]

If you're just going to muddle in sadness and not listen to us then there's no point in us replying

[bold kernel]

I have 500k what should I buy

[cosmic tinsel]

what do you want to do lol

[dawn geyser]

As I said before.
Until you learn spawns
Until you learn the map
You will die

[sharp ridge]

i am gonna do this one more time

[verbal island]

dont need to remind me

[sharp ridge]

and i swear if i spawn by big red

[cosmic tinsel]

if you're tilted take a break too honestly

[sharp ridge]

im gonna flip

[dawn geyser]

Why are you running customs? Quests?

[cosmic tinsel]

you're gonna make bad decisions from frustration

[dawn geyser]

^

[verbal island]

i hate that side also its not near anywhere where you get loot first

[cosmic tinsel]

crack house

[normal cloud]

i like spawning big red. and i dont know why its just fun for me

[cosmic tinsel]

the spawn by land bridge is also one of the two closest spawns to dorms

[random ridge]

crackhouse is by big red?

oh wait nvm

[verbal island]

wehn you get the spawn al the way near crossroad its already looted

[random ridge]

you still have to cross

or am i being stupid

[verbal island]

im here to ask if jahger holodilnik trader is still cheaper than off the flea?

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah of course you have to cross

[bleak lily]

@cosmic tinsel yeah I'm currently working on my "Econo-Meta" DT MDR 5.56 looks pretty good

[normal cloud]

no youre right

[random ridge]

oh right

[cosmic tinsel]

the only close spawn to crack house is the one near warehouse 4 afaik

[random ridge]

first chad raid of the day

me scared

[cosmic tinsel]

and they usually get caught up looting fortress

i've never been beat to crack house when i spawn near landbridge

[verbal island]

me either thats my 3rd favorit spawn

[normal cloud]

if you spawn by the railroad and landbridge near big red you can look into big red and see people coming from the other door

[cosmic tinsel]

thats a great move. when im lazy i mostly run mdrs or vsses. cheap, easy to mod, effective at everything except the sweatiest fights

[normal cloud]

and coming from trailer park

[verbal island]

first is power tower thing near the train track and doorms best dorms rush second near junk bride good dorms rush also and crack house

[normal cloud]

what should i be crafting in workbench lvl 2? atm im just crafting AP 6.3. to use later

[cosmic tinsel]

red gunpowder is usually the most valuable if you have that. green gunpowders good too

[random widget]

so how effective is 5.45 BP ammo vs reshala & his minions? 🤔

[north vigil]

How does one get better at PVP?

[random widget]

well ok maybe I'm just shit :D

[cosmic tinsel]

effective until its not... if they all have kirasa and kivers, you're fine

[normal cloud]

by grabbing a gun that you are comfortable with and go customs. works in my experience

[random widget]

I think he had an altyn, and whatever armor

until he killed me that is

[cosmic tinsel]

the altyns are what makes it rough

[random ridge]

im actually offended

[north vigil]

The only good PVP i had ever was today head eying two chads

[normal cloud]

my friend did a marked room and he got nothing. 2nd to last use too

[royal bloom]

howdy quick question best .366 ammo is?

[normal cloud]

.366 a[

ap

[royal bloom]

ty ❤️

[cosmic tinsel]

.366 AP slaps

[sharp ridge]

alright 1 more customs run before i sleep

[bleak lily]

@cosmic tinsel but what about the accuracy ?

[cosmic tinsel]

not a huge diff

[royal bloom]

got myself another sniper down to try it once again 😄

[cosmic tinsel]

25% more MoA

[random widget]

damnit and I had the best chance ever to finish the punisher quest, loaded into customs with all the other players being hatchlings, not a single shot fired except mine for 10 minutes

[cosmic tinsel]

pretty similar ballistic behavior out to like, 150 meters

try shootin it thru a molot in the hideout

its not GREAT but its fine

[normal cloud]

wtf 40 round mp7 mags are 100k? i get its a meta gun but what

[cosmic tinsel]

thats what meta means honestly

see also 556 drums, the prices of m61, ap sx, and 995

[normal cloud]

i already saw that

[cosmic tinsel]

you can run 30 rnd fmj and thats fine

[normal cloud]

ik

[sharp ridge]

omfg i spawn at big red

AGAIN

[normal cloud]

welcome to tarkov

[royal bloom]

I got a labs keycard as a scav and died with it near extraction I'm scared to look at the price of it ( I've hear they're hella expensive) cause I might start crying was it worth alot or usefull? 😄

[normal cloud]

400k

ish

yea 400k on flea rn

[royal bloom]

😟 🔫

[cosmic tinsel]

thats tarkov for ya

[normal cloud]

i feel you

[cosmic tinsel]

i accidentally listed something with an extra 0 and paid 1.5 mil in market fees this wipe if it makes you feel any better

[royal bloom]

well I made someone's day better by dying so in a way it's a good thing I guess

[normal cloud]

dw i died with 5 gpus already

[cosmic tinsel]

completely unforced error

[craggy sapphire]

Lolö

lol

Hatcheted a rpk guy

[royal bloom]

😄 oh my wow okay

thanks

[craggy sapphire]

And got a gpu and a tetriz from it

[royal bloom]

I also accidentaly bought an item that was worth 300k instead of 30k

[normal cloud]

only got 2 FIR and i handed both into mechanic

[royal bloom]

well it's a good way to learn tbh

[sharp ridge]

now i remember why i dont want to play alone

idont know where to go

[royal bloom]

what map you on?

[sharp ridge]

customs

big red side

[royal bloom]

I could help ya out

[sharp ridge]

storage lots

[normal cloud]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Customs_Interactive_Map

[cosmic tinsel]

the route i showed you works both directions

[random ridge]

@sharp ridge honestly customs is literally just a straight road with 3 different sections

[cosmic tinsel]

and is safe both ways

[random ridge]

learn off the 3 sections on right side

[sharp ridge]

last time i got head eyes by a chad-man

[cosmic tinsel]

that happens sometimes

[random ridge]

and then theres like what 4 landmarks on the left side of the map

[cosmic tinsel]

part of the game

[random ridge]

left as in top when you're looking at a png of the map

[royal bloom]

I do have a really good map of customs if you want

that's how I learned it

[random ridge]

just had the most profitable raid of my LIFE

[tulip junco]

need help getting to lvl 10

[normal cloud]

@tulip junco t a s k s

[tulip junco]

I need help with t a s k s

[normal cloud]

what tasks do you have

[sharp ridge]

im gonna have a heart attack ingame im so stressed rn

[tulip junco]

killing scavs and a few others im lvl 6 as ofnow

i keep getting shwacked

[normal cloud]

what map?

[cosmic tinsel]

This is normal too lol

[tulip junco]

woods

[normal cloud]

i hate woods

[tulip junco]

need to learnextracts

[random ridge]

easy way to remember

is if you spawn on one side of the map

theres more then likely an extract on the other side

thats how it is for customs and woods anyway

i cant speak for every map

[normal cloud]

use a map. not much other advice i can give if you dont have a compass

[normal cloud]

IC too

havent played any other maps xd

[cosmic tinsel]

true for basically all maps but im pretty mad tthat the scav bunker spawn has the outskirts extract

[random ridge]

yup, like I dont play interchange at all as im still learning it but I load in as a scav and always extract without referencing a map

[craggy sapphire]

What do you think bout my clip?

[random ridge]

cause I know I just have to travel to the other side

[thorny thicket]

is it worth buying gpus for your btc farm?

[normal cloud]

i just go into IC rush tech stores and die with the gpuu

ez game

xd

[craggy sapphire]

I don't think o

so

[sharp ridge]

i wish i had someone to talk too ingame

[craggy sapphire]

Bc it is pretty easy to find gpu's

[woven raft]

Someone wanna roll with me? Just getting back into the game

Lvl 2

[craggy sapphire]

But you earn your money back in like two days'

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah each one takes like 3 days to earn back

[royal bloom]

People ask me what I do for a living.

I collect shotguns

[random ridge]

look in lfg may be people willing to play

[potent rain]

tbh if you're a child and low lvl ppl might not want to join u lol

[sharp ridge]

oh my god i got head eyes by a scav

[normal cloud]

welcome to tarkov

[random ridge]

yup

[sharp ridge]

im gonna go bankrupt at this stage

[random ridge]

im not a child but certainly got games as a low level last wipe tho

like legit 2 days in to game

turtl you will more than likely have to reset your account in your first week of playing

i dont speak for everyone but definitley most people I know who play tarkov

[cosmic tinsel]

ehhh run pistol kits and scav

[normal cloud]

if you are running low on money just scav run

[cosmic tinsel]

and then hit stashes

[bleak lily]

@random ridge I'm pretty bad at this game, but I just Scav like a mofo

[random ridge]

yeh fair I just had to do it cause I had literally no idea what to do

I couldnt even extract as a scav

[cosmic tinsel]

a decent stash run is like 300k

[random ridge]

let alone kill an ok pmc with a pistolk

[cosmic tinsel]

and this late in wipe they're mostly uncontested

[random ridge]

i also convinced my friend to buy when I was also shit and he was down to like 20k in our first night playing

no contest to my ks23 however

[sharp ridge]

started with 800k today

im at 490k rn

[normal cloud]

hitting PCs on interchange usually nets me like 500k+

on the route you can usually find water filters too

[random ridge]

if it makes you feel better I lost 800k yesterday

I have since made back

[cosmic tinsel]

ups and downs are normal

[bleak lily]

@sharp ridge I went from 3m to 6m ..... but i'm almost Scav only today 😄

[sharp ridge]

you guys actually know how to survive though

[cosmic tinsel]

we had to learn it tho turtl

[bleak lily]

@sharp ridge RUN FORREST RUN! is my motto

[random ridge]

first instinct on a scav run is to get rid of that shit

[normal cloud]

was about to say that xd

[sharp ridge]

BT didnt do shit against scav man

[random ridge]

BT is great budget ammo

[cosmic tinsel]

im gonna be real w you thats user error

[normal cloud]

BT will melt almost every scav

[cosmic tinsel]

bt is 2 or 3 to the chest to kill

or 1 to the head

(for scavs)

[glad robin]

I need some one to play with any body down? Customs is the only map I know

[slow tangle]

Should i sell or use the 50 round glock mags from quest?

[random ridge]

this is a scav run

i see why people like ic

[reef prairie]

can you put keycards in a keytool?

[normal cloud]

no

[fast wigeon]

RESERVE I SEE

[reef prairie]

damn, thanks

[fast wigeon]

my bad for the caps

who wants to do some questing

[cosmic tinsel]

id sell honestly

they work great in vectors but unless you know you want to use (and can afford to use) vectors

[normal cloud]

the big stick mags work just fine

and they are infinitely cheaper

just got a nice scav run (valday on the SV-98)

spawned in with everything

[cunning dragon]

you gonna just run to extract with that or risk it for the biscuit?

[normal cloud]

i ran to extract

[cunning dragon]

nice!

[random ridge]

not bad at all

first interchange scav of the day

[normal cloud]

good enough money for 5 minutes of my time xd

[random ridge]

got that fir moutache too for collector

[normal cloud]

what key is that?

[random ridge]

RB-RLSA

its either 10k or 200k

no inbetween

[normal cloud]

sounds like every reserve key

[random ridge]

are propane tanks expensive enough?

[craggy sapphire]

But the pb obz or something

It stays at 2 mil if it wants to

[normal cloud]

50k+ i believe @random ridge

[cunning dragon]

I think you can trade them for something... can't remember what

[normal cloud]

nvm its only 30k

[normal cloud]

i am certified Dumb'

[random ridge]

dissapointing

[craggy sapphire]

Why is there so much delay?

[sharp ridge]

wooo i did a scav run at interchange at night

[craggy sapphire]

What do you think about this?

[slow tangle]

What's a good budget ammo for the MPX?

[normal cloud]

PST GZH

[craggy sapphire]

lol

[slender vapor]

Anyone having a bug where they hit 00 and can’t deploy, and they can’t load in after?

[normal cloud]

aiming for the head it can be great

[bleak lily]

@slow tangle PST GZH is the minimum to use for 9mm really

[cunning dragon]

hatchet running?

[craggy sapphire]

Ik

[normal cloud]

especially if they dont have visors

[sharp ridge]

PST is bad against armor

[craggy sapphire]

Bc i am staying at 2 mil if i want to

I can't do anything else

I won't even have enough money to heal myself

[normal cloud]

rush BTC farm

[craggy sapphire]

I am trying

But i need jaeger and skier lvl 2

And thrn i will get it in no time

[potent rain]

cant get my hands on intel folders

not a fan of reserve

[craggy sapphire]

Just need help with their quests

[normal cloud]

crack house

[potent rain]

on the shelf upstairs right

[normal cloud]

which tasks are you stuck on?

[cosmic tinsel]

shelves and floor

[craggy sapphire]

All of jaegers tasks and skiers tasks

Fucking impossible

[normal cloud]

the first jaeger task i didnt have done until lvl 20

[craggy sapphire]

Impossible

I am lvl 22

[normal cloud]

F

try to loot ration supply crates

[craggy sapphire]

Imma go to sleep and fix that tommorow

Gn

[zinc cliff]

Hey Guys. I found one of those fancy FLIR sights but it isn't in raid. what are my options with it?

use or sell for nothing?

[normal cloud]

save it until you have a task to use thermals

[zinc cliff]

oh good idea!

[normal cloud]

i think that exists

[zinc cliff]

i wasn't sure if you could barter

[cosmic tinsel]

no, its just reap-ir

sell the flir

[random ridge]

i peed a little

[normal cloud]

oh ok

[zinc cliff]

thanks guys

[cosmic tinsel]

you got it

its a good payday

[normal cloud]

sell / use when you want to do SBIH or something

[zinc cliff]

yeah. maybe hold for a minute. i saw it was like 600k on market but like 80k to traders

[sharp ridge]

so interchange at night is worth it

[normal cloud]

i would use it for sbih if it is only 80k to traders

[zinc cliff]

okay thanks zombot!

[normal cloud]

@sharp ridge interchange is always worth it

got 3 tetriz in one run earlier

[sharp ridge]

do ai scavs have their flashlights on

[normal cloud]

ai scavs can have flashlights on yes

[sharp ridge]

ok good

almost had an heart attack in the underground parking lot

[normal cloud]

you can usually tell if its an AI if you hear them walk/run then suddenly stop for a second

[sharp ridge]

just saw a flashlight running towards me

[normal cloud]

scary stuff

never know if thats a buckshot scav if all you see is the flashlight

[nimble lance]

dose anyone wanna havew a good time at like 11

trying woods

[random ridge]

492k profit on a scav run on interchange, not bad

[sharp ridge]

how the fu-

[nimble lance]

nice bro

[random ridge]

luck

just learning the map and got lucky

[nimble lance]

wish i was like that

[random ridge]

spotted someone looting and killed him found a massacre

[normal cloud]

interchange will always make money

[sharp ridge]

go oli then take all stashes towards railway

[normal cloud]

thats a good way. depending on your level you can also find huge money stuff there

[sharp ridge]

im still scared of getting headshotted

[normal cloud]

dont be

[random ridge]

dont be

[normal cloud]

you have to learn some how

[random ridge]

cause that will translate in your gameplay

[normal cloud]

i used to hard rat a month ago

[cosmic tinsel]

scavs, pistol runs, hatchet runs

the more time you spend in tarkov the more comfortable you'll be

[normal cloud]

IMO hatchet runs arent worth it

buy a grach and an extra mag

flashlight if you want

you can easily defend against scavs that way

[cosmic tinsel]

i nave never done a hatchet run, but its hard to argue against 0 risk

and turtle is very scared of losing everything i think

[haughty tulip]

Both have good points

[reef prairie]

problem with hatchets runs are youre not very likely to extract

[haughty tulip]

I'd say if you are new get a pistol for the extra xp from scavs

If you are comfortable with the game do the hachet

At the end of the day it's up to each player

[normal cloud]

grach at LVL 1 prapor costs 13k, 70 rubles a bullet at mechanic 1

worth imo

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah i dont think it matters to much one way or the other

[reef prairie]

even a pm can kill every pmc that has no faceshield

and a pm is like 6k

[normal cloud]

^

[cosmic tinsel]

dude you guys are preaching to the choir

i agree

[haughty tulip]

Anyone NA wanting to go get raiders I need someone to share the loot

[cosmic tinsel]

but if the goal is 0 risk

its possible to 0 risk

[haughty tulip]

New players ofc

[reef prairie]

scavs are the 0 risk option

[haughty tulip]

But scavs gives 0 progress towards pmc

You have to do both

That's the best way

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah but scavs dont get gpus or tetrizes

[haughty tulip]

what?

[cosmic tinsel]

(MOSTLY)

[haughty tulip]

6 tetriz as a scav last sunday

One raid it was double tetriz

[cosmic tinsel]

and scavs dont have a secure container

[cosmic tinsel]

super lucky

[haughty tulip]

I did the same saturday

[reef prairie]

gpus are not really worth much early on

[haughty tulip]

Not as many

But I got

[reef prairie]

of course tetriz are

[haughty tulip]

Yep

[haughty tulip]

Also raider loot

[normal cloud]

bitcoin at 770k atm

[haughty tulip]

Why would you massacre my boy like that tho

[reef prairie]

that hurts

[cosmic tinsel]

sure

[haughty tulip]

It does

[cosmic tinsel]

but it could be done

[haughty tulip]

So no new player for reserve night time to get some good stuff

https://tenor.com/view/ight-imma-head-out-spongebob-imma-head-out-ima-head-out-gif-14902967

[normal cloud]

go post in #pvp-lfg

[cosmic tinsel]

all im sayin is hatchlings are viable im not sure why this is controversial

[haughty tulip]

Trying to help new players tho

[reef prairie]

and thats like 15 raids worth of pistols

[haughty tulip]

It shouldn't be controversial

That's up to the player itself

[reef prairie]

where you have a chance to kill a geared pmc

[haughty tulip]

So it's personal opinion

[cosmic tinsel]

pistol runs are great too

i agree

and so are scav raids

they all work

[reef prairie]

depends on what youre after i guess

[haughty tulip]

Hatchet runs as pmc are good depends on the map

[cunning dragon]

Scav raids imo are what they intended hatchet runs to be... So I think they will still make some changes to hatchlings

[cosmic tinsel]

thats what i said dude at the very beginning

[haughty tulip]

To contest high value loot against fully geared players

[reef prairie]

if you need fir quest items a hatchet run doesnt do anything

[cosmic tinsel]

who said fir

[haughty tulip]

Whereas you are not

I think I used that word correctly

[cosmic tinsel]

yer doin great dovah

[haughty tulip]

I am unsure but I feel high class

[reef prairie]

i mean hatchet running as a newer player

[cunning dragon]

Perhaps different lobbies will have a gearscore minimum

[reef prairie]

nvm, everyone should play like they want

[haughty tulip]

I would recommend pistol instead

[cosmic tinsel]

i would LOVE that

[haughty tulip]

But I can only stick to recommendations

[cosmic tinsel]

or a bell curve of gear score

[reef prairie]

hatchet, extract camping, chad, moneyhoarder, all valid strats

[haughty tulip]

At the end is up to the players

Indeed

All valid

Regardless of how frustrating one can be

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

i just knew turtl was scared of 0 rub balance

[normal cloud]

i hate getting extract camped (i hate emercom so much) but its part of the game

[cosmic tinsel]

and its impossible to do that while hatcheting, even tho i would recommend extreme budget

thats legit all im sayin and i agree w you

[reef prairie]

extract camping really isnt that bad

[cunning dragon]

Yeah it just comes down to the individual. Some people masterbate. Some people masterbate in their neighbours yard at 2am. All valid.

[reef prairie]

i had like maybe 20 extract campers this wipe

[cosmic tinsel]

i'm less than that but i dont do much interchange

[random ridge]

you think 40m

[elfin trail]

Anyone up for assisting on Factory for farming pt 1?

EU

[haughty tulip]

yeah

[random ridge]

gas station / road

[cosmic tinsel]

probs yeah

[reef prairie]

i got more camped at crossroads than on inter

[cunning dragon]

What would be cool is the longer you stay in the one spot the higher your chances to do a loud sneeze would be. Moving 10m would reset it.

[next charm]

cheaper alternative to sp13?

[cosmic tinsel]

No

[next charm]

;__;

[reef prairie]

only sp13 is worth it

[cosmic tinsel]

I think sp10 is next best but if you can't get sp13 from trader id say no

[next charm]

what trader will sell it

not paying 2k per bullet on flea

[cosmic tinsel]

Probably prapor check wiki

[next charm]

kk

[reef prairie]

prapor

[next charm]

level?

[reef prairie]

4...

[next charm]

are you fucking kidding me

so sp-10 then

[reef prairie]

[next charm]

nah ill just buy sp-10

bigger scam than eod

[thorny thicket]

ive been the first one to techlight so many times and 0 gpu's

[normal cloud]

[next charm]

[next charm]

ballin

[upper iron]

Just can't understand hatchet running

[random ridge]

6 more meters 😦

[upper iron]

Brainlet way to play, at least take a pistol

[next charm]

you worry about your bag ill worry about mine

[haughty tulip]

Yep

[normal cloud]

agreed

[reef prairie]

techstores are highly inconsistent regarding loot

[next charm]

no they're nnot just be lucky :)

[reef prairie]

one raid nothing but wires and caps, the next one multiple tetriz and gpus

[upper iron]

Tarkov lets all the weak mental people play the game the exact way they are irl

[next charm]

what level is ur search

yy no1 cares

[cunning dragon]

I think mostly gear fear

[next charm]

abt ur shitty opinion

[normal cloud]

i usually get MAXIMUM 1 gpu / tetriz and earlier today i got 3 tetriz after looting 2 tech stores

[reef prairie]

i had the most luck yesterday with 3 tetriz and 3 gpus

[next charm]

ez money

[reef prairie]

yeah, 1 max is normal

[alpine light]

Anyone know how much 6b43 6a is worth on flea. Just domed some guy with a smg taken from a scav and got it. I'm level 5 lmao

[reef prairie]

keep it

[normal cloud]

538k

FIR\

[reef prairie]

youll need it for a quest

[upper iron]

yy tarkov gamer

[sharp ridge]

tarkov is a horror game

change my mind

[languid beacon]

i got a question

[normal cloud]

why should i change your mind when your mind is already correct

[next charm]

^

[haughty tulip]

It's not fir obviously

[languid beacon]

why ehen i wait for the black barter trade for mechanic

[alpine light]

I feel really bad cos I'm sure my ammo was 9mm and I head eyes him and he had a sick sniper as well.

[languid beacon]

its goes out of stock

[sharp ridge]

i have played horror games but this game takes the cake

[languid beacon]

as soon as it comes ouit

[haughty tulip]

dont feel ad

bad

feel awesome for killing a chad with pst gzh

[next charm]

pst gzh on top

[alpine light]

Man got domed

[normal cloud]

because people want it too

[haughty tulip]

also you can't sell it since it's not FIR

Every item that a PMC brings to a raid stops being FIR

[languid beacon]

@normal cloud nah like i cant see it even go in stock

[reef prairie]

try getting an intel from peacekeeper... the good barters are gone instantly

[alpine light]

FIR?

[haughty tulip]

Found in raid

[normal cloud]

it goes in stock faster on the flea market compared to trader view

[alpine light]

Ahh

[normal cloud]

for some reason

[languid beacon]

and should i keep refreshing or just stay on the tradde

[alpine light]

So stuff I get from pmcs I can't sell?

[haughty tulip]

You can sell to traders

For a low profit

Instead of a huge profit

[alpine light]

Ahhh I see.

[haughty tulip]

If it was fir

For example

[normal cloud]

@languid beacon i would wait for 5 minutes until restock then pull up the barter on the flea market and spam refresh

[haughty tulip]

60 rounds of 5.45 BS ammo could go for 100k in flea

But mechanic will give you 7k

[alpine light]

I see

[languid beacon]

@zombbot

thank you

[normal cloud]

np

[reef prairie]

you should keep the armor if you have the space

is it damaged?

[haughty tulip]

With 9mm pst?

[alpine light]

Ngl I'd probs sell the sniper to traders if its above like 200k cos I wouldn't trust my self bringing it to raid

[haughty tulip]

He definetly shot. Him in the face

[alpine light]

Ye it's like 1 away from 100%

[normal cloud]

you can kill anyone with PST GZH with a well placed shot

[haughty tulip]

In the face

[reef prairie]

who says the armor was fresh and the pmc not shot before?

[haughty tulip]

Hmm

[alpine light]

More like a well placed spray n pray

[haughty tulip]

I would say otherwise but

I've been to factory

[normal cloud]

well sometimes you need that second shot

[haughty tulip]

What's the durability on it

[alpine light]

I started my spray at hip and ended at his head

[haughty tulip]

Oh

[alpine light]

1 away from full

[haughty tulip]

Lmao

[reef prairie]

youll need two of those armors for a quest later on, one with 50-100% and one with 0-50%

[normal cloud]

what gun?

[haughty tulip]

He's got an almost fresh tier 6

It's tier 6?

[alpine light]

Yes

[haughty tulip]

What armor are we talking about again?

[reef prairie]

the big one

[alpine light]

6b43

Big boi

[haughty tulip]

Ah yes

2m armor

[alpine light]

Barely made it to extract cos I was overweight lmao

[haughty tulip]

Or 500k in flea

Oh wow it's 500k

[reef prairie]

ive never seen anybody wearing that

[haughty tulip]

The barter is a phased array

[reef prairie]

except reshalas boys

[haughty tulip]

same

Too heavy

[normal cloud]

the highest tier armor ive ever seen on someone was a korund lmao

[haughty tulip]

Gun and armor already overweight

[normal cloud]

probably because i die before seeing them

[haughty tulip]

lol

[alpine light]

So should I keep then

[haughty tulip]

Honestly

how much ragman offers

[reef prairie]

^^

[normal cloud]

keep them

you need for a task later i think

[haughty tulip]

so he go with pst gzh into a raid

oh

he's got ways to go

[normal cloud]

very true

[reef prairie]

its not damaged enough, so he would have to use it anyway

[haughty tulip]

It's not FIR anyway

And it has to be right?

[reef prairie]

because youll get a fresh one from a quest

doesnt have to be fir

[haughty tulip]

Ohhh

Odd

From every item that needs to be FIr that one isnt

[alpine light]

I only went in with shit gun cos I was trying to do scav quests without losing much if I die

[reef prairie]

i bought mine from fence

[haughty tulip]

Well bro

Now you are a chad

[alpine light]

Mega chad

[haughty tulip]

Thats what happens when you kill a chad with basic ammo

big chnguns chad

Yeah no dont take it

You'll be overweight just by looking at the armor

[reef prairie]

and thats the best argument why you take any weapon over hatchet

[haughty tulip]

Bro

[reef prairie]

youll get lucky and become a chad

[haughty tulip]

We already went trough this

[alpine light]

Can't wait to see the same end when I try and use it

[haughty tulip]

Up to the player

[reef prairie]

i know, i know

[haughty tulip]

How much will ragman give you tho

[reef prairie]

just joking

[haughty tulip]

Smh

I'm too hungry for jokes

[alpine light]

Pc is off can't check

[haughty tulip]

make me a sandwich

And we;ll joke

[alpine light]

Thx for help gn gamers

[haughty tulip]

Gn bro

[reef prairie]

do i look like your mom?

[haughty tulip]

nice kill

No

Sorry mom

oh god

day time scav

Jesus take the wheel

[sharp ridge]

why did i join mid wipe lol

[elfin trail]

Sooo, anyone up for running me through Factory for Farming pt 1 and delivery from the past?

[floral sluice]

Mid wipe is arguably a better time to do start honestly

All the low level hideout upgrades, quest locations are much more manageable, getting kills more valuable and deaths less so. It's free real estate

[slow tangle]

Now would be considered mid wipe?

[dawn geyser]

Yes

Mid-Late

[indigo mesa]

how long till wipe?

didnt it just wipe?

[dawn geyser]

Tomorrow.

[cinder abyss]

no one knows when next wipe is

[indigo mesa]

ye

[reef prairie]

everyone knows its thursday

[dawn geyser]

Mhm

If it's not this thursday it's next thursday

And if it's not next thursday it's the thursday after that

And if it's not that thursday it's the thursday after that

[indigo mesa]

ok

[reef prairie]

but it was and is thursday

its just a running gag, nobodys knows when. could middle of the year, could be end of the year

[dawn geyser]

Basically don't ask when wipe is

[reef prairie]

the answer youll get is always either thursday or soon

[cunning dragon]

I think wipes are always something around 7 months apart?

[dire spire]

no

around 6

atleast 5 months

[dawn geyser]

I mean Tanchyon's not wrong, 7 months wouldn't be out of the ordinary

But generally yeah it's around 6 months

[cosmic tinsel]

They're gonna keep doin holidays just to make our families hate us

"tarkov should simulate everything, even your wife's resentment"

[marble vector]

hye i need help learning in customs

[bleak lily]

@marble vector try offline mode

then Scav it to hell

[haughty tulip]

Bro

Gotta appreciate some player scavs

They die so I can get that sweet loot

Arrived soon as the alarm went off I thought I was going to fight raider and player scavs

No sir only 2 raiders free of charge

[bleak lily]

which map?

reserve?

[random ridge]

what map did you guys do jaegers bullshit dehydration task on

[frigid frost]

woods

just drink mayo, hide in a bush for 5 min, leave

[random ridge]

probably a good idea

[wind gulch]

anymap that you can sit and hide

[frigid frost]

you need the stimulant too

[random ridge]

yeah thats the plan was trying customs

[frigid frost]

so you dont die

[random ridge]

oh shit which stim?

[wind gulch]

propital

[frigid frost]

just take the mayo, then when you start taking damage

pop propital

wait 5 min

then leave

[kindred shell]

with the prapor convoy task if i die do i have to find the usec camp and convoy again?

[random ridge]

yup

took me 3 raids lol

[kindred shell]

FUCK

i have no legs and im running out of stam

[frigid frost]

you only need to find one of them again

[random ridge]

crawl for a bit lol

[frigid frost]

if you die

[kindred shell]

i have to go to outskirts

[vagrant tide]

kinda new anyone mind helping me out still learning ?👉 😕 👈

[random ridge]

crawl very right side

[zinc fiber]

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

[random ridge]

turn left at landmines

[kindred shell]

and i dont have the stam for it

[random ridge]

and you're good

[kindred shell]

so i guess i die

[brave mauve]

looking for friends to play in group

[west bane]

the game is in download but if ur willing to carry im down

carry and show me the ropes i guess is what im saying

[brave mauve]

@west bane I'm new too haha, been playing for 5 days now

[west bane]

any tips from a starter to a starter?

[brave mauve]

@west bane learn one map at a time, customs is very easy to learn. also doing scav runs helps

[bleak lily]

@west bane get a map open on a second screen, focus on learning 1 map first, Scav until you are comfortable, offline mode can help you learn a map

[west bane]

i found someone that is willing to help me learn, but i dont have a second monitor should I just pull it up on my phone?

[bleak lily]

I'm pretty comfortable now with Customs, no idea where the good loot is, I just find it on players

[sharp ridge]

Do not go to high populated areas if you are new

[bleak lily]

@west bane depends how big your phone is! I use a spare laptop or ipad

[west bane]

i have a spare monitor but nothing to plug into it to turn it on

so i only got the one

[brave mauve]

Phone works fine

i use mine all the time

[cosmic tinsel]

the loot is pretty distributed. crack house, dorms, and fortress are probably the highest rub/sqft

[west bane]

i just dont wanna get in and get completely shit on

which is inevitable

[cosmic tinsel]

completely inevitable. maybe just bring pistols and/or do scav runs

i think a big issue for a lot of beginners is they go "ok cool M4 i'll take this out and see what happens"

and then starting inventory gone

with no context of the available loot in maps

i vividly remember dying to a scav in the woods at night on my first raid

[bleak lily]

step 1, sell everything in your inventory, step 2 scav to refill it ;-P

[sharp ridge]

i had some friends that boosted me with some gear

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly that probably WOULD foster a healthier understanding of how to progress in the game 😄

[sharp ridge]

especially some heavily modded weapons i refused to use at the beginning lol

[bleak lily]

@cosmic tinsel it sounds dumb, but its pretty much what I did.

[sharp ridge]

Flea market is a life saver

[bleak lily]

I would play games on my phone waiting out the Scav timer and then run again

having Flea Market at level 10 is such a pain for a newbie

[sharp ridge]

i remember going pistolling on customs

Hid down in a bush and had three chads walk right past me

[bleak lily]

this is my first wipe and it was awful unti l flea market

[sharp ridge]

i was paralyzed with fear that time lol

[west bane]

i did watch a video saying only bring a pistol or run it in offline and get a feel for the drops and where the extractions are

[cosmic tinsel]

i think thats really really sound advice that almost nobody has the patience to do

(myself included)

[reef prairie]

did they change the offline mode or is it still only one spawn?

[cosmic tinsel]

i think going naked with an sks is pretty viable too

[bleak lily]

@west bane if you wanna stream your run I can walk you through some of what I've learned if its Customs

[reef prairie]

because that can screw you

[west bane]

yeah when the game downloads i might do that

[bleak lily]

offline mode has multiple spawns, at leats on Labs

[west bane]

looking for any help i can get ATM

[bleak lily]

@west bane go to 2 Man Squad 19, I think my Scav is ready to rock and roll

[west bane]

i was hoping someone would play with me and kinda guide me around

[bleak lily]

I'm EU

[sharp ridge]

Btw when you are ready do some scav runs at interchange at night

[west bane]

where that

[sharp ridge]

Not alot of PMCs and lots of hisden stashes

Just dont go to the tech stores, mkay.

first time i scaved on interchange i refused to go through the metal detectors because i was afraid they would go off

[haughty tulip]

ahahahaha

nice

[sharp ridge]

I mean power is on in some stores

[haughty tulip]

Only thing that goes off is the place with a bunch of weapons

Damn alarm

[slow tangle]

What's a cheap sight for the mp5?

[haughty tulip]

Any sight

[smoky wing]

@slow tangle cobra

[haughty tulip]

EPK?

[smoky wing]

Cant get cheaper than that

[sharp ridge]

Stuff

[haughty tulip]

Get a decent/comfortable one

[smoky wing]

Its like 8k+ 2k for shade

[haughty tulip]

dont get the shade

[sharp ridge]

anyones scav spawn with a mini mosin once

[haughty tulip]

with shade you mean eye cup

?

[sharp ridge]

it was so smol i love it

[smoky wing]

Why not? Makes no difference

No

Shade is a special item on cobra

Changes nothing but gives u ergo i belive

[haughty tulip]

i beleive it has the same idea of eye cup

[smoky wing]

No

Its on the oposite side

Does not fuck up your sight like eye cups

[haughty tulip]

oh

ahahah

Almost got shot in the head

Arrived as soon as someone spawned raiders

I'm gonna go say hi

Gotta chill in a bush

[sharp ridge]

When in doubt

Cry in a bush

[haughty tulip]

bush wookie

https://tenor.com/view/birthday-celebration-dance-wookie-chewbacca-gif-16415834

I ain't crying

But I'm not going to start fighting raiders first

I can't

[bold kernel]

lvl 51 with kappa if your new and want to make actual money dm me

[haughty tulip]

What does kappa has to do with helping

And what's actual money

[cosmic tinsel]

🍿

[sharp ridge]

If you dont have 1 mil euro and dollars

Are you really rich

[haughty tulip]

I think whoever is trying to spawn raiders doesn't know how it works

Can you spawn raiders even tho there's already raiders?

damn green tracer

[azure scroll]

I keep freaking dying trying to find that damn bronze watch

[haughty tulip]

NA?

You know where it is right

[azure scroll]

yeah it's the truck in construction and yeah NA

[haughty tulip]

Give me a sec

[azure scroll]

okay can you DM me?

[haughty tulip]

I was making sure something

My scav is in 6 mins

So we got time to go get your task

No duo vc

[azure scroll]

that's the thing lol Idk if you remember me saying earlier but I dont hear very well at all so

[novel ridge]

quick and cheap reshala hunting kit?

[haughty tulip]

pp-19

lvl 4 armor

and good tactics

or any 5.45 with by

BT

[wispy glade]

anything, reshala ai is dumb

[haughty tulip]

Yeah but he;s askig for cheap

pp19 got a good rate of fire

[placid obsidian]

@novel ridge reshala is more about positioning than weapon, they typically dont have good armor or helmets so anything that pens lvl 3+ will do.

[haughty tulip]

wdym they can get an altyn

[placid obsidian]

then shoot their legs

[haughty tulip]

Yeah

[novel ridge]

i literally jsut killed him as a scav, i just was wondering what's a decent run to dorms and pray he's there kinda kit

[haughty tulip]

That's why I told him pp19

I've killed gluhart as a scav

[placid obsidian]

pp19 is good but ammo for pp19 is expensive.

[haughty tulip]

The problem ain't the boss it's the guards

Wdym ammo is expensive

What are you planning to run

7n1

[placid obsidian]

ap6 and 7n1 are both expensive as shit

[haughty tulip]

Why would you use that for him tho

[haughty tulip]

wdym you dont hear well

as in auditory problems?

[placid obsidian]

you're saying to use the pp19 with pst gzh?

[smoky wing]

@haughty tulip cuz his guards can pack some real good shit

[haughty tulip]

No

[bold kernel]

LETS GO GAME BAUGHT

[haughty tulip]

smh

[smoky wing]

U get a guard witg altyn and level 4 armour

[haughty tulip]

Quakemaker

[bold kernel]

IT TARKOV TIME MUTHAFUCKAS

[haughty tulip]

Leg their ass

[azure scroll]

I'm deaf, yeah. I do have a hearing aid but it doesn't do well with electronic sounds such as wearing headphones

[haughty tulip]

And headshot reshala

[placid obsidian]

[smoky wing]

Leg meta guards?

[haughty tulip]

[haughty tulip]

Their legs>

[smoky wing]

No? But u need to down their entire HP

To kill them

Also bosses/guards cant get fractures

[cosmic tinsel]

its hard

[haughty tulip]

Take an ak with bt

[placid obsidian]

@haughty tulip chill out dude lmao, getting mad because people play different than you. not the way to approach questions in a chat for beginners.

[haughty tulip]

Problem solved

What

Why am I mad

[smoky wing]

Bt will work okay

[haughty tulip]

[smoky wing]

Ap 20 also does the job

[haughty tulip]

It's gonna be a bit harsh to shot them

[inland cliff]

Can someone help me learn interchange?

[haughty tulip]

But gets the job done

If they are in dorms

They are easy to kill

[smoky wing]

Yeah 2 nades and they are all ded

[haughty tulip]

But really, what made you think I was mad
