beginners-assistance

[drifting jolt]

yes

[bold kernel]

thx

[pure talon]

tarkov has problem with directional sound in general, i don't think it's related to particular headset

[drifting jolt]

it's vertical sound, not directional sound that's the issue

[chrome nova]

that is why you do not want to play 5 man squad with ppl you just met - it is chaos

[drifting jolt]

^

*met

[chrome nova]

yes, sry

[bold kernel]

did u ever play rainbow?

[reef prairie]

if you dont have a problem with them, use them. i had better luck with no headset or razors

[bold kernel]

the sound in rainbow six siege is shit

and dont know where is he

below me behind me next to me

i just dont know

[reef prairie]

thats most of the games honestly

theres only a handful of fps with really good sound

[bold kernel]

it have like nice sounds but i just dont know from where is he coming

[drifting jolt]

@bold kernel if you hear shots/grenades, lightly shake your mouse left to right, it'll help you pinpoint the sound more effectively

[reef prairie]

in tarkov its more about map knowledge and the different sounds of the different surfaces

[bold kernel]

thats a good idea

thanks

[drifting jolt]

😉

[pure talon]

it's physics problem you can't represent 3d space with stereo sound. you can, with good sound code solve 2d representation but to add verticality you have use some clever sound design tricks

[chrome nova]

better even look left and right with middle mouse

[bold kernel]

yea but the sens in this mode is shit

[drifting jolt]

^ i agree with that

[reef prairie]

yeah

[drifting jolt]

it's useful when running, but when youre sitting still i feel like a new born baby who cant control its neck

[bold kernel]

xd

yea

[chrome nova]

yeah, they really lacking sens settings for different modes and scopes

[reef prairie]

sens in general is a problem, some scopes are harder to use than others because of the sens

[bold kernel]

yea well if ur big tryhard u can try bind some thing on ur gaming mouse

[reef prairie]

you dont have to be a tryhard

[drifting jolt]

i rebound nearly every single key int he game

[bold kernel]

i have 4 buttons i can bind

[drifting jolt]

tarkov's default keys fucking suck

[bold kernel]

yea

[pure talon]

haha, that's a funny one since it's a perfect example of how BSG devs had completely no clue how to implement FOV and they reinvented the wheel in a worst way possible.

[reef prairie]

if youre left hand is shit like mine, you wanna have as much as possible on your mouse

[bold kernel]

the shortcuts and things like that

[prisma fjord]

@bold kernel tact sports are best for rain outside

[bold kernel]

yea i knew it

[prisma fjord]

I don't know which one is best for rain inside

they all operate differently inside and outside

[bold kernel]

well does the destription says something about he headphones

[chrome nova]

i love Sordins more bassy sound

[prisma fjord]

somewhat yeah

[bold kernel]

my inglish suc

[reef prairie]

see, its just preference, i hate the bassy sound

[chrome nova]

yeah )

[reef prairie]

try them all and use what feels best

[prisma fjord]

Actually Tact sports are some of my overall favorite, because the sound tends to be louder than the other ones

[reef prairie]

some even use only the gssh

[bold kernel]

yea but my ears start to bleed

bcs i put my headphones volume little more up

so i can hear the rats hiding

[reef prairie]

most of the rats that are hiding have bad aim anyway

or bad weapons/ammo

[bold kernel]

well there is something about it

[chrome nova]

and then there is rain. No, RAIN. Which make all this headfones unusable )

[reef prairie]

rain is great

[bold kernel]

i rushed in a house on factory and killed him with makarov

thats one of my best kills ever

cuz i never actually manage to kill anyone

[reef prairie]

it gets better

[bold kernel]

yea

you can run more

gotta go sped

[reef prairie]

just dont avoid pvp all the time

[bold kernel]

well...

im scared of pvp

[reef prairie]

its part of the game, you have to know how to defend yourself

[bold kernel]

yea you are right

but even when iam defensive i just die

iam in house so i have alot of cover

boom

[reef prairie]

take a pistol and rush tech spawns on interchange, youll lose the fear for pvp

[bold kernel]

one shoted me

interchange

no

please no

[chrome nova]

also you will loose the FIR status on your GPUs ))

[bold kernel]

i saw full geared 3 chads

im scared of every map

cuz of my memories

the only map iam not scared of is customs

[drifting jolt]

interchange is life

[reef prairie]

interchange is money

[bold kernel]

in interchange i saw alot of chads

[pure talon]

hows that suppose to help?

[bold kernel]

in reverse i they one shoted me every time

[reef prairie]

theres a lot of chads on customs too since the expansion

[reef prairie]

you get into fights, you lose the fear of dying

helped me a lot in the beginning

[bold kernel]

hm

i sold every pistol

they seem kinda useless to me

but whem it will help me to survive

why not!

[drifting jolt]

you use them for fun/the memes... but you will need to kill 3 PMCs witha pistol as a quest

[bold kernel]

bruuuh

but scavs suck ass

[reef prairie]

every pistol can kill the most geared player (if they dont have a faceshield)

[bold kernel]

you just need to move

and they dont have chance

i was right next to scav with black leg

and was walking around him

[reef prairie]

wait until you get onetapped from 50m by a shotgun scav

[bold kernel]

he just missed every shot

[bold kernel]

uhhh

[reef prairie]

shotgun scavs are op

[bold kernel]

i suck ass with shotgun

i could have killed a player

if i had rifle

but no no

shotgun!

[reef prairie]

youll need to kill players and scavs with a shotgun for some quests eventually

[bold kernel]

-.-

damnit

Shotguns are all about the ammo

[drifting jolt]

shotguns are my favorite guns in the game

[bold kernel]

With the missions AP slugs will do well

[bold kernel]

I used to only use the MP-153

Dark times

Shotguns are underrated

[drifting jolt]

153 is my favorite shotgun

[reef prairie]

i got most of my gear early wipe with a mp-153 and magnum buckshot on factory

[drifting jolt]

https://streamable.com/oqae71

[bold kernel]

WTF

It’s probably a slug

Shotguns can be snipers

[drifting jolt]

ap20 slugs for the win baby

[bold kernel]

Ap20 slugs literally make it a sniper

[drifting jolt]

yup

[bold kernel]

See they aren’t all bad

It’s all about the ammo

[drifting jolt]

slugs are accurate as fuck

[bold kernel]

the m855a1 is op huh

so thats why i got kill with it

Yeah it’s good but way too expensive in my opinion

[drifting jolt]

it's not 'the best' round in the caliber, but still very good

[bold kernel]

There aren’t many times m856a1 won’t do the job I use that usually

[drifting jolt]

m993 is best, but that shit is WAYYY too expensive

[reef prairie]

m995

[drifting jolt]

^ yeah that my bad

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel it’s a good idea to use the ammo chart and look at the ammo types

[reef prairie]

m993 is 7.62x51

[drifting jolt]

i linked him the chart @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

yea mote got me

the chart looks amazing

[drifting jolt]

@bold kernel as you level traders, the ammo they sell becomes better and cheaper

[reef prairie]

^

levelling traders is key

[drifting jolt]

i have to share this shot i made the other day, one of my best shots this wipe https://streamable.com/1183j2

[bold kernel]

well i tried to lvl mechanic

[drifting jolt]

if not my best shot

[bold kernel]

but going to wood to get the note from jaeger

its not worth it

[drifting jolt]

all questing is worth it for the most part

[bold kernel]

It unlocks Jaeger

Dude you have to go woods it sucks but

Gotta do it in the end

I sub machine gun ram woods till I understood it

[drifting jolt]

if you think woods sucks now, it used to be half the size

[bold kernel]

If I happened to run into someone then they can’t do much

[drifting jolt]

and was shit

[bold kernel]

dude how did u know he was there?

[drifting jolt]

you can see him run by on the right before i turn

[bold kernel]

bruuh what?

i dont see him

[drifting jolt]

fullscreen it

[bold kernel]

ohh

now i see

uhh you can make clips in tarkov?

or u use xbox game bar

[drifting jolt]

i use gamebar, and upload to streamable.com

[jolly dawn]

so much for that factory delivery...some fucking chad sitting in the container outside the stairs to the quest box with BT

[reef prairie]

gamebar, gpu software or obs, theres a few options for recording

[bold kernel]

what ammo does the black mag for ak use?

the basic one

[reef prairie]

which ak?

[drifting jolt]

depends... double click the mag, read the top

it tells you

[reef prairie]

you can link search the mag

[bold kernel]

ak 74 47

and the 101

ok thx

[reef prairie]

you only have to be careful with 7.62 and .366, and 300 blackout and 5.56

they share the same mags

[drifting jolt]

@bold kernel even with shitty scav slugs, you can still shotgun one tap https://streamable.com/y0nljs

[bold kernel]

yea that happend to me

i got 2 mags with the bad ammo type

i was nailed

i take 3 mags one in the gun 2 in the vest

is it enough ?

[reef prairie]

depends on what youre going for

enough if you wanna avoid pvp

[drifting jolt]

usually, if you take in an extra stack of bullets in your secure container

[bold kernel]

ok

[bold kernel]

not enough huh?

frick

[reef prairie]

youll learn from experience

[drifting jolt]

3 mags is enough

not to fight a 2+ man squad

[reef prairie]

how much you need, it also depends on the weapon/caliber you use

[drifting jolt]

but 1 on 1, 3 mags is plenty

[bold kernel]

yea i learned it the hard way

[drifting jolt]

i wouldnt go in with more than 3 mags, maybe 4 if you have a bit of extra money lying around

[bold kernel]

they cornered me

[drifting jolt]

even if you had 6 mags, a 3 man is gonna slaughter you, so youre gonna die with all that anyways

[bold kernel]

yea

is it worth to save a mag

or save some scrap

[drifting jolt]

@bold kernel at your level, save mags for guns you like, but otherwise no

[bold kernel]

ok

Wink are you over level 10?

12

[drifting jolt]

alternate between selling stuff on flea and to traders, cause you need to level them

he's 12

[bold kernel]

If you’re twelve and low on money I’d recommend finding some rat routes

Low gear to reserve or interchange

well i have 3 million

With a cheap gun but good ammo

[reef prairie]

the wiki also has a chart with items youll need for quests

so if you wanna lvl the traders, save them

[bold kernel]

is 3 million alot?

[drifting jolt]

at your level yes

[bold kernel]

Wait three million is the amount you have right

mmh and what if i add 5k dollars ?

Not just the overall cost of your stash

am i richer now?

[drifting jolt]

each dollar is worth 126 roubles

[bold kernel]

Go to your character, then overall, then one of the stats is the cost of everything you own

It counts dollars into it

That’s how you tell how rich you actually are

[reef prairie]

not really

it doesnt represent the real value of the items

[bold kernel]

you know the guy

[modest pagoda]

ash 12 only needs 2 mags monkaS

[bold kernel]

that will give u the last quest i think

Fence?

[reef prairie]

fence

[drifting jolt]

there's no other accurate gauge

[bold kernel]

For kappa

fence yea right

is it worth to sell him stuff?

He’s not usually worth buying from but sometimes he’ll spit out insane deals

yea i used him like flea market

[reef prairie]

true

[bold kernel]

i was waiting

[reef prairie]

dont sell anything to him

[bold kernel]

and when i saw something a bought it

[drifting jolt]

88.4 mil stash value... im close to 100! w00tz

[reef prairie]

apart from broken armor

[bold kernel]

I wouldn’t sell anything to him unless it’s just taking up space and you can’t sell to anyone else

If you have broken armour

Yeah broken armour is the only thing to sell to fence really

[drifting jolt]

you only sell low durability armors/helmets to fence, nothing else

[bold kernel]

ok

well

[drifting jolt]

he pays the worst and charges the most

[bold kernel]

Everything else can be sold to others for more

[drifting jolt]

never buy anything from him either

[bold kernel]

Unless he randomly sells 20 M995 for like 300 roubles each

[bold kernel]

well i dont want dollars so i sold it to fence

He can do insane deals out of no where

[bold kernel]

Peacekeeper does dollars

[drifting jolt]

you will need dollars in the near future

for quests

[reef prairie]

you can also find attachments you need for gunsmith

[drifting jolt]

^

[reef prairie]

that are very expensive at the flea

[bold kernel]

yea i saw people in videos ignore some attachment

and i was like wtf dudee there is a scope right thereee take itt

and he just ran away

i dont get it : (

[reef prairie]

some of the attachments that are really expensive at the flea are pretty cheap once you have the trader lvl

and if youre not planning on using it and the trader doesnt pay much, some attachments are not worth taking

[bold kernel]

well i have a lot of attachment

but i dont want to lose it

it seems rare

Gear fear is bad

yea : (

[reef prairie]

youll lose some, youll get some

the circle of life in tarkov

you have to lose stuff and die a bunch to get better

[bold kernel]

I used to hold onto guns out of sentimental value lmao

nah for me its like create a cool weapon go scav run return home play as pmc with my new cool gun die right from beggining be sad

[reef prairie]

i still have the ak from the new years gift

[reef prairie]

take cheap weapons. a sks with ps ammo is pretty good for beginners

and nobody loots them

[bold kernel]

yea and u know like u can insure something

or something like that

[reef prairie]

always insure

[bold kernel]

always?!

[reef prairie]

yeah

[bold kernel]

i seems like money waste

to me

[drifting jolt]

no

[reef prairie]

at least your gun and armor

[drifting jolt]

not a waste

never a waste

[reef prairie]

if your tight on money

[drifting jolt]

@bold kernel most higher level PMCs wont ever take your shit, if they do it's only gonna be the gun attachments, not the gun itself

[bold kernel]

ohh

I have 8 million and I never run a kit with armour :/

I have too much gear gear

[reef prairie]

some even leave it because youre low level

[bold kernel]

Gear fear

yea i know

iam huge mr krabs

[reef prairie]

theres people with 200mil+ that are almost only run hatchet

[drifting jolt]

BORING

[bold kernel]

that would be me

[reef prairie]

nothing wrong with hoarding, but you miss out on a lot of fun

[upper iron]

Imagine

[bold kernel]

if i ever get better at this game : (

[upper iron]

Hoarding is a mental illness

[bold kernel]

hoarding....?

[drifting jolt]

keep a lot of shit

keeping*

[bold kernel]

oh yea thats me

so iam hoarding gear fear mr krabs

NICE!

[reef prairie]

just invest once in some stuff and allow yourself to lose it

buy a bunch of sks, they are only around 15k

[bold kernel]

ok

but what about close range

what if they just rush me with a ak

im dead

well

[reef prairie]

you point fire

in the head

sure, chances are low, but you can still drop almost anybody

[bold kernel]

i like how you dont even have to aim and ur aim is really accurate

[drifting jolt]

yup

[bold kernel]

screw you call of duty

but i cant really aim cuz the recoil is too huge

my gun just flies to the sky and the to the ground

[reef prairie]

aks have really bad recoil without attachments

[bold kernel]

yeaa..

well i use aks alot

cuz i play csgo alot

and i just think

they are op :/

is hk416 op?

[upper iron]

But they aren't so there you go

[reef prairie]

no weapon is op per se, its all about ammo and attachments

[drifting jolt]

it's not the gun itself, it's the stats you get with attachments...

anything over 70 vertical recoil is kinda shit

[bold kernel]

uh...

[drifting jolt]

50-69 pretty good, 40-50 great, lower than 40 fantastic

[bold kernel]

69 i want the funny number recoil

[drifting jolt]

lol

[bold kernel]

i know it will help me fight

so the lower the better?

[drifting jolt]

lower vertical reciol the better, the higher the ergonomics the better

low recoil, high ergo

[bold kernel]

what is ergo about

[reef prairie]

ads speed

[drifting jolt]

@bold kernel https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Performance_modifiers

[reef prairie]

and ads time

[bold kernel]

ohhhh

[drifting jolt]

aim down sight volume

and how fast it drains your stamina

[reef prairie]

right, that too

[bold kernel]

thanks guys! ❤️

[reef prairie]

but its mainly about the ads speed

[bold kernel]

you helped me alot

[reef prairie]

any time

sometimes you can also find people here that can help you with quests

[bold kernel]

i was watching tutorials the whole year just to learn the game

i everything i had to do

was just ask nice people for help

[reef prairie]

i only play solo and dont even have a mic, so i can only help with information

the first weeks or even months i looked constantly in the wiki

[bold kernel]

yea just dont play with me anyway cuz i would be just a waste of loot and ammo :/

[reef prairie]

searched ever item i didnt knew, because it tells you if you need it for a quest, barter trades and even crafts

[drifting jolt]

any time buddy

[bold kernel]

: )

[drifting jolt]

it's rewarding when you start learning and are able to kill PMCs more often

it's a rush 🙂

[reef prairie]

i still remember the first geared guy i killed

scav with a sks in three story dorms

[bold kernel]

KEKW

i killed my first scav on factory

you know the huge container

[reef prairie]

i mean i was a scav, and the player was a real chad

[bold kernel]

where u can hide

[reef prairie]

got lucky and hit him in the head

you just need luck once, and your hooked

you gonna want to have more fights

[bold kernel]

once i saw a player lying one the ground

i shot my whole magazine in him

he just didnt want to die!

all headshot

[reef prairie]

trust me, we all had to go through stuff like that

[bold kernel]

yea you're right

[reef prairie]

for most people the first wipe is pure learning

[bold kernel]

for me its pure sufering

[reef prairie]

well, that too

[bold kernel]

but i still enjoy the game

iam so happy when i kill a player by luck !!

i feel i have so much power

[reef prairie]

once you start to climb that mountain called learning curve, it gets better pretty quick

[bold kernel]

and then i get sniped

[reef prairie]

happens to everyone

[bold kernel]

well welyn started recording this game and i was like wow that is rlly cool

[reef prairie]

i just got pretty geared into interchange, got sniped after 18 seconds

[bold kernel]

and then i bought it year later and iam like now its time to kill some chads

and then i die every time

: (

[reef prairie]

im pretty sure it was the same when he started

[bold kernel]

well when u watch his first vid

im not sure

[reef prairie]

i dont know who he is, but everyone has to suffer in the beginning

[bold kernel]

well he is a utuber

[reef prairie]

unless youre already really really good at other fps and can outaim most other players

but thats rare

[bold kernel]

well i play csgo and i think iam pretty good at that game

so i wanted to play tarkov

oh boy

that wasnt the best idea

[reef prairie]

tarkov was only my third shooter, im only playing on pc for like 3 years

[bold kernel]

3years?

[reef prairie]

and i managed to learn tarkov

[bold kernel]

wow

i see i suc ass

[reef prairie]

im sure i was way worse when i started

my aim is still bad

[bold kernel]

it cant be that bad

[reef prairie]

but once you learn the maps you can make money and avoid other players

and use the money to go in with some gear for pvp

pestily has videos with "easy" money runs for almost every map

[bold kernel]

pestily?

[reef prairie]

hes one of the biggest tarkov streamer/youtuber

[bold kernel]

k gimme sec

i will search for him

[reef prairie]

he even has a play through where he does every quest from the beginning

[drifting jolt]

@bold kernel that's the video I linked you earlier on interchange, that was pestily

[bold kernel]

oh

[reef prairie]

hes maybe not the best skill-wise, but he got a lot of knowledge and is happy to share it

[bold kernel]

i was pretty sure i knew him

buuut

[reef prairie]

take a look at his raid series. he records every raid on a fresh account, shows how he does all the quests and money runs

[bold kernel]

wait what

[reef prairie]

and even he struggles in the beginning

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZJoJ7H5Zfoud_RcYICMYYiqwRvwauW15

its a lot to watch, but theres almost every bit of information you need to know in there

[bold kernel]

ok thanks

is it worth to buy different edition of tarkov?

when i already got the normal

[reef prairie]

youll get different opinions on that

if the money doesnt hurt you, got for it

but i wouldnt buy any of the "mid-tier" editions, either standard or eod

[bold kernel]

whyt edition u got?

[reef prairie]

eod

[bold kernel]

soooo

[reef prairie]

but dont tell anyone

[bold kernel]

u have bigger inv?

[reef prairie]

yes, lvl 4 stash from the start

[bold kernel]

:0

[reef prairie]

and 3x3 container plus some trader rep

[bold kernel]

:000

[reef prairie]

not a big deal if youre decent at the game, but a good headstart if youre struggling

[bold kernel]

what are the € for nobody wants em

[reef prairie]

some ammo and guns

and you need them for the hideout and a quest

and the items case

[bold kernel]

jaeger is german right?

[reef prairie]

the name, yes

but his real name is Kharitonov Ivan Egorovich, so hes probably not german

[bold kernel]

:/

I love the vector so much

vector is in the game?

yeh both the 9x19 and 45 acp

[reef prairie]

yeah, .45 and 9mm

[bold kernel]

:0

[reef prairie]

9mm is a bit op

[bold kernel]

it's a fucking laser

[reef prairie]

almost no recoil

[bold kernel]

.

[reef prairie]

im pretty sure it will get nerfed

just like the vss/val last wipe

[bold kernel]

yeah am just enjoying it while it's fun

cant wait to get my hands on that

[reef prairie]

mp7 is fun too

but you need good ammo for them

[bold kernel]

Skier L2 for the .45
Flea market for 9x19

45 is more op right?

[reef prairie]

vector with anything below ap6.3 is not worth it imo

[bold kernel]

nah

[reef prairie]

no, only has 25 round mags

[bold kernel]

harder to control because of higher rounds per minute and it's mags are small

[reef prairie]

9mm vector with ap or 7n31 is the easiest weapon to use

[bold kernel]

yep

[haughty tulip]

25 vertical recoil

broken

[reef prairie]

its almost boring after a while

[bold kernel]

ap 6.3 for the "budget" option
7n31 for slapps

[haughty tulip]

you can't fight with AP 6.3 against 5.56 without tactics tho

face to face bigger caliber wins

gotta slap them in the head

https://tenor.com/view/slap-gif-4810169

[reef prairie]

but youll need much more money to make 5.56 equally good

[haughty tulip]

I won against a 25 recoil vector with BT

[reef prairie]

and the ammo on the flea is just way too overpriced

[haughty tulip]

Face to face no cover

Both lvl 5 armor and atyn

[reef prairie]

you can win with every weapon

weapons dont win fights, the player does

but they increase your chance

[haughty tulip]

No this fight was no cover 5m from eachother

Literally it was whoever bullet was better

Ths time at least

Mine had more pen than his

So his hp died first

BT has 7 more pen than AP 6.3

I was a walking thorax/head

[reef prairie]

you get those fights sure, but more often than not its whoever sees the other player first/shoots first

[haughty tulip]

Oh yeah

But that's what you need to consider

Vector is good but does't mean anything against good armor

Gotta be smart

[reef prairie]

true

and good armor doesnt mean anything if you hit the head

[haughty tulip]

Ohhhh yeah

And with 25 recoil that ain't hard

[reef prairie]

and a faceshield doesnt mean anything if you have good ammo

[haughty tulip]

Surely AP is enough to pen the best ones right

[reef prairie]

theres many variables in a fight

[haughty tulip]

And with that rate of fire

[reef prairie]

a good player with a pistol can drop a bad player with a vector easy

[haughty tulip]

Well regardless I'm about to spend 10m on solar power

oh yeah

I mean at the end of the day

The best weapon is (head,eyes)

[reef prairie]

i did that two days ago, spent 16mil on it....

[haughty tulip]

how

[reef prairie]

i admit that hurt a bit

[haughty tulip]

It's a total of 13m

No

Wait

It's because I have 10k euros already

nvm yeah

[reef prairie]

i only had like 3 cables, everything else i bought

[haughty tulip]

I got 2 arrays

one from reserve and one from scav case

and I started selling stuff in euros

Because I wanted an items case

Guess it's going into my solar panel instead

[reef prairie]

worth it if your lvl 2 farm is full imo

mine just finished, 59 hours on a fuel can

[haughty tulip]

I have plenty

I had like +20m

Yesterday I made 5m

In like 6 scav raids

6-8

something like that

[reef prairie]

just need some luck in a couple raids and youre rich

[haughty tulip]

I literally played 10 scav raids yesterday

thats about it

between pmcs ofc

Full of loot

[reef prairie]

i got out of interchange with 3 tetriz and 3 gpus the other day

[haughty tulip]

8/10

ohhh

nice

I got a double tetriz yesterday in reserve

And so much raider loot

[reef prairie]

i dont like reserve

[haughty tulip]

I do

It's fun

[reef prairie]

i didnt even do the bunker quest yet

[haughty tulip]

lol

It took me a while to want to do it

[reef prairie]

its a pretty early quest i think!?

[haughty tulip]

Yep

And only way to survive it is being a rat

And not rushing all those places

Or you end up finding everyone

[reef prairie]

bunker in general is pretty hot i heard

[haughty tulip]

Always

There's a spawn that goes there early

[reef prairie]

im not going for kappa, so whatever

[haughty tulip]

There's at least 3 spawns that can end up in D2

Same

I just need enough for traders lvl 4

that's it

[reef prairie]

im happy once i get lvl 40 and the traders

[haughty tulip]

Ah yeah

Streamers trying to go for kappa are so unhappy

Me?

I

[reef prairie]

i only do some quests if they are fun and i feel like it

[bold kernel]

is the only way to lose gear fear.. losing gear?

[haughty tulip]

I enjoy the game

Well

First you need to learn how to get tons of gear

So you can always afford to lose gear

Then you lose the fear

[reef prairie]

i know id probably quit for a while if i have to try the guide one more time

[bold kernel]

which?

[reef prairie]

the guide, a quest

where you have to survive every map

[bold kernel]

fuck that

[bold kernel]

can you die in between or does it have to be survival after survival

[reef prairie]

you get it after the wet job questline, which can be a pain too

it fails if you die

[bold kernel]

wtf

[modest pagoda]

its not that hard

[bold kernel]

hell na

[modest pagoda]

if you run directly to extract

[reef prairie]

i have the luck to always run into geared squads

[modest pagoda]

nice

[bold kernel]

^

same

[reef prairie]

tried it like 7 or 8 times last wipe

not worth the hassle for just a bigger container

[bold kernel]

I once got 8 fucking nades at my feet in 10 seconds from a squad while just tryna get to extract on customs

[reef prairie]

the usual tarkov experience

[bold kernel]

indeed

[reef prairie]

i had a shooting squad with vectors waiting for me at crossroads a few days ago

[slow linden]

Yea

That’s customs

[reef prairie]

thats tarkov

[slow linden]

Full of juiced up chads

[reef prairie]

juiced up chads arent that bad, juiced up bushcampers are

[bold kernel]

time to lose the gear fear ( or get shrap 10'd )

[slow linden]

Yea hi

That’s me

The guy with the shrapnel 10

[bold kernel]

crinj

[slow linden]

🐀

[forest rivet]

hey, whats the best ammo to use as a low level player?

[reef prairie]

thats what you do with ks23 players

[bold kernel]

strip every single thing off them

[reef prairie]

7.62 ps or 5.45 bt

[slow linden]

No, don’t do it!

[forest rivet]

thank you, i seem to be losing gun fights even when i shoot people in the back...

[woeful matrix]

anyone here able to help me unlock jager please

[forest rivet]

like i'm getting 700+ armour damage but dying aha

[reef prairie]

youll need trader lvls for better ammo, its rough when you start mid-wipe

or you know how to make lots of money and pay a small fortune on the flea

[forest rivet]

oh okay, thanks!

[reef prairie]

focus on quests, most of the earlier ones can be done even if you avoid players

[forest rivet]

will do, i've just been playing factory tbf and seem to be losing a fair few fights

[reef prairie]

factory isnt easy, most of the time its either geared people with altyns or nakeds trying to do quests

learn customs, lots of early quests there

[wild estuary]

just got the game looking for someone to play and learn with lmk

[slow linden]

Or..

[forest rivet]

oh okay i was just joining as it said about it being "normal" difficulty so assumed that should be my starting point

[slow linden]

You could become a rat @forest rivet

[reef prairie]

forget the difficulty, its not accurate at all

[bold kernel]

should i bring food to raid?

[reef prairie]

i wouldnt

[slow linden]

Nah, eat in the stash

[forest rivet]

is that like running in naked and taking stuff off bodies aha

[reef prairie]

but eat/drink everything you find, lvls your metabolism

[bold kernel]

the difficulty of a map there is absolute bulsshit

[slow linden]

Running cheap kits and looting all the valuable items

And hide in corners and other various areas

And kill people who pass by

It’s brilliant I say

[reef prairie]

sks and a cheap armored vest, nobody will loot that if you die

[bold kernel]

I got out 🎉

[reef prairie]

dont forget to insure

[forest rivet]

i mean tbf thats how i die aha

[bold kernel]

always insure.

[slow linden]

Ok

That’s poggers

but also

It’s Tarkov

[reef prairie]

well, most of the higher lvl players know the common hiding spots

[slow linden]

Tarkov is like getting punched in the dick

Continuously

[reef prairie]

it isnt always good to go real slow

[forest rivet]

yeah all good, i'll give it a go

thanks

[reef prairie]

i can recommend pestilys raid series

[slow linden]

^

[reef prairie]

shows every raid and quest on a fresh account

and you see a very good player struggle, makes you feel better

talks about his strats, the routes he takes and why, stuff like that

[bold kernel]

this shit has to be inaccurate
I'm a customs rat and almost never play factory, a week ago it was 40 mins

[forest rivet]

oh okay, maybe have to give a watch then

[reef prairie]

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZJoJ7H5Zfoud_RcYICMYYiqwRvwauW15

[reef prairie]

it goes from 59 to 0, its scuffed

i have 57:17 for some reason

[bold kernel]

lmao

[reef prairie]

maybe its the average in-raid time between deaths, but even then thats way too high

[bold kernel]

way too low for me

yeah

weird asf

when my stomach is black and my leg too what is the chance that i will survive

[reef prairie]

maybe its 1 hour 8 minutes for you

[bold kernel]

shit true it was 58 minutes a few days ago

[reef prairie]

slim if you dont have painkillers

[bold kernel]

this is also scuffed

[reef prairie]

blacked stomach drains your hydration and energy

[bold kernel]

I died 2 raids ago

[reef prairie]

thats the highest you have

[bold kernel]

oh

[reef prairie]

theres another stat with current streak

[bold kernel]

makes sense

[reef prairie]

above the stash value

[bold kernel]

yeah you're right

as you can see I am a pro gamer

[reef prairie]

i gotta go do some work. good luck in your raids, see you girls later 👍

[bold kernel]

cya

[reef prairie]

not much better, for someone on the third wipe....

[bold kernel]

light years ahead doe

you land one in 2 shots

[bold kernel]

well i survived : D

@bold kernel turn this off 🙂

ngl

[bold kernel]

burh

am doing it for the fun

[balmy vault]

do the walking tank build or sumtin

[bold kernel]

I also feel kinda bad cause the first guy I killed had a pistol and was level 2 :(

[civic latch]

Do i lose the compass if i die?

[bold kernel]

no

I wanna dieeeeee

[bold kernel]

bad boy

but guess u didnt had a choice

yeah he was running straight towards me

:(

well people wasnt nice to me either

when i was lvl 3 in factory and i had great loot a exit camper killed me :(((

if he had only a knife I might've spared him but my monke brain lives by shoot first ask questions later

i hate exit campers

ngl

I tried extract camping once

yea me too

when I was level 16

ks23, d2
Hated it, boring as fuck

yea

i was camping a scav exit

silly me

[balmy vault]

when i do homework i extract camp its easy loot

[bold kernel]

heck you

no cool :(

uhhhh

fuuuck

phew

i though i got hacked

time to be a val gamer

[balmy vault]

use 30s

[upper iron]

Not with 20 rounders you aren't

[bold kernel]

50k each
also not taking advice from an extract camper smh

[upper iron]

Do the barter for 4 pliers for 1 30 rounder from Prapor, 20k each then

you can get 7? of them

[bold kernel]

I don't have that barter boie

[upper iron]

Pretty sure it's level 2 prapor

[bold kernel]

L3

[upper iron]

you're level 25

[upper iron]

Running 20 rounders and BP wtf

[bold kernel]

bp?

is tank helmet good?

[bold kernel]

no

[upper iron]

your ammo looks like it has a brown tip

[bold kernel]

it's sp6 dumbo

[upper iron]

[random ridge]

What do you guys think of tarkov going open world

[balmy vault]

shit idea

[random ridge]

Yeah I agree

It seems like it’s on the roadmap

[balmy vault]

you think extract camping is bad

you cannot play customs now cuz all the entracnes are camped by 5 man squads constantly

[random ridge]

I have not been extant camped once on customs

Extract

Only woods and factory

[balmy vault]

yeah

[random ridge]

And I main customs

[balmy vault]

when i goes open world

[random ridge]

Ohhh right

[balmy vault]

im just going to sit at the customs entracnes

and camp

all day

[raven gazelle]

sounds fun

enjoy doing that'

[random ridge]

I’m sure there will be an idea to prevent that

[bold kernel]

^ this is an example of a man who only plays for loot

[balmy vault]

yes

i do

i would sell my soul for btc level 4

[raven gazelle]

again sounds fun

[bold kernel]

I only play for the fun

[random ridge]

Yup same but it’s hard to have fun when you’re broke lol

[bold kernel]

if my hands aren't shaking from barely surviving firefights then am doin something wrong

[random ridge]

I had the same thing in customs recently except I died

[raven gazelle]

but its so easyyyyy to get money and then u can have fun

[random ridge]

Would’ve been nice if I survived lol

[random ridge]

Yeah but sometimes you can get unlucky as fuck

Or the opposite

Like I’ve had nights where I’ve died in every single raid

Then other nights I make a few million and get kills

[balmy vault]

u die every raid

break out the ks23

[random ridge]

That’s what I do

[balmy vault]

go inter

prone ontop of escalator

[random ridge]

If I die long into a raid I go ks23 factory

And take peoples kits

[balmy vault]

profit

[random ridge]

Im still learning inter

[random widget]

I unlocked my first bitcoin farm here a few days ago, and made my first coin, but my interest in actually logging in to the game almost vanished as soon as I made it. Cause what's the point if you get that much free money?

[bold kernel]

hehe I just killed a ks 23 rat last raid

Bitch fucked my armor up doe and left me on 68 hp with a heavy bleed

[raven gazelle]

im ngl i would hate to play with u haha

[balmy vault]

same ive been playing more and more valorant

[random ridge]

Aim for the legs

[bold kernel]

tell him that

[balmy vault]

solo only hate splitting loot

[random widget]

Is that the game where you can't aim down sights?

[balmy vault]

yea

[random ridge]

I personally don’t rat in any maps

Other than factory

[raven gazelle]

hahahahaahhaa theres another reason lmao

[bold kernel]

a few other reasons lmao

[random ridge]

You got to give the brokest guy some juice

[bold kernel]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[random ridge]

If I got money and I find something nice my friend gets it even tho he doesn’t play that much

Cause he’s got less than 300k

[bold kernel]

I trioed with some absolute thicc guys for a few raids on reserve
Guys dropped me a gpu, a virtex and 2 tank batteries + all the loot from their kills they were so nice ( I was like level 13 )

[random ridge]

Exactly means nothing to them nothing wrong with helping people out

[coral urchin]

To kill..

[random widget]

But then it's just a shooter 🤔

[coral urchin]

Tasks..

There’s a lot to do in the game tbh

[rugged yacht]

Once I got all collector items imma probuallh kappa

[craggy sapphire]

Did they fix the btc?

[rugged yacht]

No

What kinda drugs u gotta be on to make a change like the btc one

[craggy sapphire]

Wha?

I mean like with mechanic

I can’t trade tetrizes for btc anymore

[celest sage]

Now you can play the game

Anyway the bitcoin isn’t actually that op

It’s like what one meta kit

[celest sage]

Wait for restock

[random widget]

That's true I guess, maybe I should try actually going in with good ammo, and a decent armor and see what happens 🤔

[signal girder]

ngl, I'm actually laughing at how your hatchling runs have been fucked over lol

[celest sage]

If you haven’t before then you’ll die

[fickle mauve]

any advice for solo PMC hunting (with a shotgun) on customs? go towards gunfire or hunt strays?

[celest sage]

But you have to be prepared for that

[celest sage]

Dorm

[craggy sapphire]

Ah dude

I literally have 600k

[fickle mauve]

i keep running into altyns in dorms

[signal girder]

Magnum buckshot leg meta 2-tap

[bold kernel]

magnum buckshots can destroy anything

if you hit their stomach they're gonna have like 2 heavy bleeds and a black stomach

[fickle mauve]

so try leg meta in dorms?

[bold kernel]

if their armour doesn't cover stomachs

[fickle mauve]

my issue is that i tend to aim center mass

[signal girder]

It works. May need a bit of practice to get the hang of 2-tapping leg meta but you'll get it decently quick

[bold kernel]

then you're gonna want AP20 slugs

[signal girder]

Flechette should work, no?

[bold kernel]

but they won't do well against altyns

[fickle mauve]

im looking at the chart, flechette is 8x25 with 31 pen

magnum is 8x50 with 2 pen

[signal girder]

Yeah, should be a few shots centre mass with that

[bold kernel]

if i have have a hole in my faceshield will it last forever?

[signal girder]

that's why you don't have to leg meta with flechette

but honestly for the cost of ammo, I'd say it's worth learning leg meta for magnum

[fickle mauve]

i'll try it

[bold kernel]

repair it

[fickle mauve]

ill also give flechette a try at some point

[bold kernel]

keep in mind

each pellete have 31 pen

so it's different to slugs

[bold kernel]

okey thx

magnum won't go through any armour but it is devastating to the body

[signal girder]

btw, which shotgun are you using?

[fickle mauve]

MP153

[signal girder]

nice. good choice
