[fickle mauve]

i call it the boomerang

[signal girder]

It's the fraud cannon, but missing the moe stock

[bold kernel]

best gun in tarkov

[fickle mauve]

moe stock? the actual grip thing?

[shell sable]

[fickle mauve]

even without it, it always comes back, hence the term boomerang

[shell sable]

did my shotgun task, never fucking again am i touching that shit

[fickle mauve]

i hate them

i prefer sniping

[shell sable]

FUCK THAT

[signal girder]

Yeah, you need an adaptor. the thing takes up 2x8 cells so no one takes it and you always get it back lol

[shell sable]

and fuck shotguns

[bold kernel]

nah its a fun gun to use

[fickle mauve]

i think in the 20 or so boomerangs ive made (due to earlier PK tasks) only 1 has ever gone missing

[bold kernel]

especially if you spawn in as a scav

and have superformace or magnum

[fickle mauve]

i dont like shottys as a scav, thanks to hollowpoint slugs

and not realising that was a thing

i thought slug was armor pen only so i shot someone in the head 6 times with slugs...

how wrong i was

[bold kernel]

If any of you need help or something dm me

I got nothing better to do

[fickle mauve]

btw, am i correct in assuming excess damage bleeds into connected parts only, for example a leg shot wont damage the thorax until the stomach is black?

[bold kernel]

if you're bleeding from the arm

[bold kernel]

wtf?

once the arm is blacked

it'll do damage to everything else

[fickle mauve]

if you're bored you can join me in dorms

[bold kernel]

or even if the arm isn't blacked

[bold kernel]

quests can be hard to duo cause what if they get kills

[fickle mauve]

i dont mean bleed as in bleed, overflow perhaps might be a better term

[signal girder]

Consider it

[fickle mauve]

damage transfer?

[bold kernel]

bleeds will damage everything to my knowledge

if you bleed in general you bleed everywhere

yeah where did you get that false info?

[bold kernel]

no one is ever going to take that lmaooo

maybe the silencer

insurance time

[fickle mauve]

im deploying, so give me 5 mins to die and ill try to clarify my question better

[bold kernel]

or you can google it

[fickle mauve]

i dont know how to phrase the question, thats the issue

[bold kernel]

then ask in vc

you're just confusing people

[signal girder]

Yeah, thing's a monster lmao. Doesn't fit in an attack 2. 16 cells leggo

[fickle mauve]

its alright, i confused myself

[bold kernel]

mp-153 is versitle its just my opinion

i only ran it for a month or two

i was down bad

[obtuse notch]

use ap20 in that thing

it will shread kids

[signal girder]

Yeah I either use ap20, magnum or flechette depending on what I'm doing

[bold kernel]

i got a 67 metre headshot with the slugs

not quite 100 but i was proud with it

just one tapped, its literally a sniper

[signal girder]

Which scope? I tend to put on the cobra with a shade for the ergo, but haven't tried too many with magnification

[obtuse notch]

try the 50 bmg slugs

[fickle mauve]

ok dead, let me try and rephrase

[bold kernel]

rip

[bold kernel]

ironsights

it was the start of a reserve raid so i knew where i was meant to be looking

and he was rushing the place where you can jump up the sign to get to the drop down room

so i timed it, it was awhile back thought

i've never tried actual magnification on it

[fickle mauve]

ok, so a leg has 65 health right? magnum buckshot does 400 assuming all pellets land, does the first shot cause the remaining 335 damage to spread to other limbs, or only after its been blacked?

[obtuse notch]

ye

[signal girder]

Yeah it can go to the torso or head i think

One of the two at least

[fickle mauve]

which part, the first shot or after black limb?

[signal girder]

after black limb

hence 2-tap on legs

[fickle mauve]

so you will never kill on the first essentially

[bold kernel]

you can

with shrapnel 10

in a KS

[fickle mauve]

i have to use a mp series

[bold kernel]

yeah then the only one taps you can do is with AP slugs

[signal girder]

why does everyone on here have a hard on for the KS23? lmao

[bold kernel]

i dont like it

im just recognising that it works

i've used it three times doesn't really work out for me

[signal girder]

ok lol

[bold kernel]

but it's a meme cause it can destroy sweaty people who put a lot of money into armour

[fickle mauve]

ive only ever used the ks twice, one time i looted it and 1 tapped someones chest with a slug

though i do hate shotguns, so thats probably why

[pine needle]

where do i buy this part i need for my gun?

[cosmic tinsel]

jaeger lvl 3 or flea

its kind of a hot item so you might be SoL on flea

[fickle mauve]

when you spawn in and there are 5 scavs at ice cream at game start :S

[lavish swift]

I could use some help with gunsmiht part 7

gunsmith*

[fickle mauve]

head eyes while behind someone, dont you love desync

i think i give up with tarkov today, have fun all

[bold kernel]

imo three bad raids in a row then take a brea k

break

[signal girder]

Goodnight sweet prince

[bold kernel]

or change up the way you're playing

[fickle mauve]

3? buddy thats my 8th today

[signal girder]

sick of shotgun bullshit i suppose

[bold kernel]

oh god

[signal girder]

takes a little getting used to

[fickle mauve]

some bad luck, some bad calls, some desync, and a whole lot of shotgun bullshit, welcome to tarkov i guess xD

[bold kernel]

its kinda my rule i just do 3 then break or change up

try to chill on shoreline for a raid or something

[fickle mauve]

i may do that later/tomorrow

[signal girder]

With what part?

[fickle mauve]

im getting fed up of altyns and and m4s

[signal girder]

why did it need to be a shotgun btw?

[bold kernel]

it's for a quest

[fickle mauve]

the quest demands it

[bold kernel]

no helmet either

[signal girder]

which quest I mean

[fickle mauve]

called Setup

[signal girder]

Oh lol

[lavish swift]

part 7, i cant get the stock attached

[fickle mauve]

kill 15 PMCs wearing a scav vest, ushanku hat (flappy hat) and using a MP series shotgun

so no helmet protection, using a gun that cant pen decent armor due to ammo, and a play style im not used to (i prefer sniping, or atleast enough range you can reposition)

[reef prairie]

setup can be a pain

[signal girder]

Show screen

[reef prairie]

but f helmets, they are useless

cowboy hat or door kicker is all you need

btw. ap-20 has decent pen, at least against lvl 4

got onetapped yesterday through a fresh m1

[fickle mauve]

the issue being, i think im cursed. with ap20 i get people with gen 5 or higher armor, and when using magnum i get those with 3/4

[reef prairie]

magnum hasnt enough range for customs imo

[fickle mauve]

atleast i got 1 kill in that raid pre desync, so a small victory

[reef prairie]

ap-20 and a bit of range works better

[fickle mauve]

13 more to go!

[signal girder]

Have you tried flechette yet?

[bold kernel]

why can't I find the rys-t on the flea

[reef prairie]

can you even find a rys faceshield in raid?

[placid talon]

im very sad

i got 2 graphics cards

but not found in raid

[bold kernel]

even if no one is selling it it should be there with the ragman L4 offer

[signal girder]

You can use them

[bold kernel]

nvm I had barters off

it's there

no one sells it smh

altyn it is

[reef prairie]

thats what i was about to write

stupid filters

[craggy sapphire]

You are sad cuz you found 2 gpu's that are not found in raid?

[bold kernel]

I think he put them up his ass and died

[bold kernel]

what level are you

[craggy sapphire]

22

[bold kernel]

;-;

[craggy sapphire]

But i have no money

[pine needle]

same dora

[bold kernel]

I am 25 and poor as shit with an empty stash

[craggy sapphire]

BC OF FUCKING BTC BARTER IS BROKEN

I have 600k

[pine needle]

people hunt me down before i can even enter interchange

[craggy sapphire]

Holy fuck

[bold kernel]

slowly doing scav runs until I can afford a pogchamp kit lol

then die

and repeat

[craggy sapphire]

lol

[pine needle]

reserve scav kill raiders

[bold kernel]

nah

[pine needle]

most likley your gonan get head eyes or sniped but

[bold kernel]

I kinda want to do interchange pc runs

but am so bad at pvp

another pistoling would probably kill me

[rugged yacht]

Nikita was on some drugs to think about limiting BTC

actually needs mental help

[sly cape]

can some one help me do task scout?

[bold kernel]

is that the factory one?

[sly cape]

yes

[bold kernel]

honestly go into a 5 man vc and ask if they would help you fill up a lobby

[fleet whale]

New York and EU servers/ will help new players out, any LVL, DM me

[signal girder]

You can just go in naked and sprint to the exits. Don't even need factory key

[bold kernel]

yeah you just need to touch the doors

[sly cape]

thing is i dont know the exits

[bold kernel]

factory is simple asf to learn

[fleet whale]

look at a map thewn

[sly cape]

big brain

[bold kernel]

go into offline mode, if you don't learn it in 20 mins you're doing something wrong lol

[sly cape]

ok thanks

[craggy sapphire]

One factory run

Was in there for 1 min

Oh

Wait

The korund ir broken

oof

[bold kernel]

ya killed a scav

[sonic island]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[bold kernel]

I am still salty about killing 3 out of the 4 other people in factory last raid and dying to AI while sending a screenshot with the loot ;-;

;-; old me is dumbass

[craggy sapphire]

oos

oof

[tropic vapor]

best place to kill scavs on woods? need 15 and 40+M for tarkov shooter

[signal girder]

I'd recommend the north east town. Close to 3k roubles extraction and they run out in the open like idiots

[reef prairie]

tarkov shooter 1?

[tropic vapor]

yeah

[reef prairie]

i do that on shoreline

[tropic vapor]

I have kills on scav on woods anyway

[cosmic tinsel]

i sorta float around from spawn to spawn. scav house, scav bunker, sunken town, non-sunken town, emercom checkpoint, and back

[reef prairie]

easier to find scavs than woods imo

[tropic vapor]

figured i might as well spam them

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah you're right kork

if you end up needing more for w/e reason, shorelines p good

[tropic vapor]

lost my first 3 mosins getting domed at scav house

[cosmic tinsel]

but if you can get double credit thats the way to do it imo

[tropic vapor]

(by players not scavs lol

[signal girder]

Are you buying the mosins?

[cosmic tinsel]

do not spend more than like, 90 seconds at scav house

and also consider using the molot 366 with AP rounds

[tropic vapor]

yeah

[reef prairie]

sv-98 is superior

[signal girder]

Not many players go to the north side of the map and there are plenty of scav spawns on that side

[reef prairie]

and probably cheaper

[signal girder]

And yeah, what NetLeiwand said

[reef prairie]

the vpo can be a bit of a pain for longer ranges because of the accuracy

[tropic vapor]

ill have to test that out after i burn through these mosins

[cosmic tinsel]

its not the accuracy, its the muzzle velocity

[signal girder]

Not if you use shitty geksa or eko rounds 😄

[cosmic tinsel]

-25 accuracy isnt a big deal it just looks scary

2 moa instead of 1.5 moa

yeah, you cant do 300 meter shots consistently but you dont have the muzzle velocity for that anyway

100-150 are completely fine

[tropic vapor]

welp off i go wish me luck

[cosmic tinsel]

go gettem kork

[signal girder]

North east town. easy af

[tropic vapor]

the one by bridge or UN

[signal girder]

bridge

[tropic vapor]

kk

[signal girder]

bring 3k roubles

[tropic vapor]

ill see if i spawn close to it

(too late for the 3k rubles lol)

actually i might have it in docs

[signal girder]

ah well, running to either UN roadblock or RUAF is pretty safe if you stick to the edge of the map

[cosmic tinsel]

northern un or outskirts is fine too

[tropic vapor]

welp loading in ill let you guys know how it goes

[signal girder]

Oh wait you mean scav bridge or 3k rouble bridge? cos i mean the 3k rouble one

[tropic vapor]

lol blew off my legs

yep

dead AF

hit another landmine

i dont like that spawn

[unborn compass]

it be like that sometimes

[reef prairie]

how? theres only one place to avoid

apart from the edge of course

[unborn compass]

gotta find the two big mountains so you know where the land mines are

[tropic vapor]

i was at the edge

[unborn compass]

East

[tropic vapor]

was trying to run inward of the signs but it curve inward a bit

and double boom

[reef prairie]

at least you get your stuff back

[unborn compass]

true but F to the ammo

and wont it be broken

[tropic vapor]

its w/e im going in with lpz

and im only bringing the 5 in the mozin the rest is in prison pocket

[reef prairie]

arent landmines like grenades, they dont damage armor

[unborn compass]

oh cool . i didnt know

just assumed the armor would get destroyed lol

[tropic vapor]

round 2 lol

[signal girder]

3k roubles

[tropic vapor]

and i do have the roubles this time

[signal girder]

don't tell me you forgot

ok good lol

[tropic vapor]

lol

[signal girder]

I forget all the time

[tropic vapor]

i really should just keep a stack in my docs case of like 50k

[rough hollow]

hey, is someone available to look at my stream and help me out of woods?

[signal girder]

ye

woods is my jam

[rough hollow]

what channel?

[signal girder]

uhh

[cosmic tinsel]

the issue is that sometimes vendors will spend outta your docs case. its absolutely infuriating

[unborn compass]

double help

[rough hollow]

@signal girder lfg woods 4?

[unborn compass]

ohhh thats why my docs case always has no money in it lol

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

i regularly top off my sicc case

[unborn compass]

thats dumb

how can i get a sicc case?

[cosmic tinsel]

and you cant drag a whole 500k stack into your inventory

so you split stacks

[reef prairie]

the game rolls a dice where it takes the money from everytime you spend some

[cosmic tinsel]

$$$$

[reef prairie]

barter

[unborn compass]

i have 15 mill

[cosmic tinsel]

its like 2mil of barter i think

[unborn compass]

oh fr? bouta get one rn

[cosmic tinsel]

they're questionably better than docs cases

lots of players never get one

[reef prairie]

15 of each tape, 15 nails and 12 paracord i think?

[cosmic tinsel]

but they look sexy so

[unborn compass]

true

[unborn compass]

from what trader ?

[chrome nova]

use sicc only for Shoreline and Interchange because there is no intel spawns

[reef prairie]

docs case is better, can hold more stuff

jaeger

[unborn compass]

i prob dont have the trader high enough level

oh jager yikes lol

[reef prairie]

its lvl 3

[cosmic tinsel]

different, but if you're doin intel runs i will concede its strictly better. i mostly just float around lookin for fights so i end up collecting mostly dog tags

(and occasionally GP and skull rings)

[unborn compass]

ok i gotta get him lvl 3 ive been procrastinating his weird quests

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly if you just focus on his quests

they dont take too long

the issue w jaeger is you cant play mostly normally like a lot of quests

[unborn compass]

yeah i got him to lvl 2 yesterday because i wanted btc farm

[reef prairie]

the really shitty quests are after you get him to lvl 4

[chrome nova]

biggest rep he gives for Defib quest

[cosmic tinsel]

im tryin to think of any beyond the last tarkov shooter quest

[chrome nova]

but all other traders give negative rep to him )

[earnest torrent]

can someone help me and a friend through labs in trying to complete the guid e

[reef prairie]

tarkov shooter 8 is the worst of all quest right now

[tropic vapor]

i still need a damn can of delicous beef stew (tall) to finish jaeger

[chrome nova]

3 pmc at one Woods raid - IS A NIGHTMARE

[cosmic tinsel]

100%. i got lucky and pulled it off my second raid. i was afraid it would take me forever

[unborn compass]

go to woods again

woods has so much food

[chrome nova]

did it for 2 weeks

[cosmic tinsel]

the emercom and usec camps are full of food

[tropic vapor]

wheres emervom

cause usec is the prapor one right

[cosmic tinsel]

right by the big lake. north center if my directions are right?

[reef prairie]

emercom is the fob near sawmill?

[cosmic tinsel]

buncha tents

it reads as a humanitarian camp rather than fob to me, but yeah

[reef prairie]

theres nothing humanitarian in/about tarkov

[unborn compass]

i did it yesterday first try ran all the way up north and then went down to scav house , then went to the lumber place and finaly that weird new town

[cosmic tinsel]

lol

[unborn compass]

and it was night time i had no thermal lol

[chrome nova]

killed 3 pmc in one raid with bolt action?

[unborn compass]

ohhhh my b i thought you ment the 3 scav in one raid f that quest

[chrome nova]

then you do not know the real pain

[reef prairie]

[unborn compass]

yeah i heard that one sucks

and that people can only find 2 people

[chrome nova]

i was killing 2 of them like 7 times

but not 3

[rough hollow]

completed my woods quest AND somehow made it out with someone's nice gear that I killed

[reef prairie]

it used to be not that hard, but since the expansion....

[unborn compass]

yeah thats what everyone tells me

[tropic vapor]

spawned ruaf so much runniong to do

[reef prairie]

i wouldnt be surprised if they change it

[chrome nova]

yeaj, now people scatter over the wast map

[unborn compass]

damn nice

[signal girder]

Save that SVD for a rainy day

[rough hollow]

yeah, something like that

[chrome nova]

All quests will get rework thats for sure

[signal girder]

wait, what scope does that svd have on it?

[chrome nova]

valday

[reef prairie]

valday

[signal girder]

ah k

can't tell from these views yet

[reef prairie]

good optic, weird sensitivity

[signal girder]

Personally prefer valday over vudu

[reef prairie]

i prefer tac30 over vudu

but is see why people like the valday, big fov

[rough hollow]

on another note, I just realized a key I have is going for nearly a mil on flea

why is rb-gn so valuable

[signal girder]

any key for reserve tends to be good

phat loots

[rough hollow]

oh, alright

[reef prairie]

is it just me or does the captcha on the flea pop up way more than it used to?

[cosmic tinsel]

i find it seems to only appear when im doin high apm stuff

[reef prairie]

i just bought like 15 soaps and got it three times

[cosmic tinsel]

i've got it probably 2-3 times a day... since this wipe started

wow

not that bad

[reef prairie]

when i bought that stuff for btc farm 3 it came up all the time

had it yesterday and today more than since the start of wipe

[tropic vapor]

welp

just ran up on a level 31 wearing nothing but a scoped mosin

7n31 ammo better than lpz right?

[reef prairie]

well, its different

[tropic vapor]

*7n1

[reef prairie]

oh, yeah

lpz is budget, 7n1 top tier

[cosmic tinsel]

lpz is great for scav doinkin

[tropic vapor]

7n37 is top 7n1 is just higher FPS

than lpz

[cosmic tinsel]

7n1 also has chances to one tap thorax

but its rare and not worth banking on

[reef prairie]

7n1 in bolt action, snb in svd imo

[cosmic tinsel]

^

[unreal tide]

do you guys wanna see a insane clip?

[cosmic tinsel]

#videos

[bold kernel]

wtf I spawned in on shoreline to do the t-90 tank quest
went prone so I could figure out which way I needed to go
2 seconds later I get head, ears by a suppressed m4 from like 200 meters

[reef prairie]

probably thermal

[bold kernel]

maybe

[reef prairie]

or did you stay on spawn?

[bold kernel]

I just walked for like 6 seconds, saw a bridge with a railway over it so I went prone to figure out where I spawned

[cosmic tinsel]

i do test drive on shoreline - i'd believe you hit someone w a thermal

[cosmic tinsel]

that barter nerf hit ya? 😄

[craggy sapphire]

Please help me

Yeah

[cosmic tinsel]

ima be real w u

[craggy sapphire]

But WHY

WHY DID THEY DO THAT

[cosmic tinsel]

i sent my buddy a screenshot of 3 tetrizes in my kappa

[reef prairie]

tough shit

[bold kernel]

I think I spawned here

[cosmic tinsel]

and was complaining about how fucking broken interchange and tetriz barters were

[reef prairie]

because of that screenshot

[craggy sapphire]

Are thet going to fix it?

[chrome nova]

can send you a video with 3 GPU i found

[cosmic tinsel]

this is the fix, dora

interchange is a broken map

[craggy sapphire]

They

omfg

Dude

I am poor

[cosmic tinsel]

bitcoin is a broken commodity

[craggy sapphire]

I won't be able to earn money

[rough hollow]

what was the nerf?

[cosmic tinsel]

theres plenty of ways to earn money, they just overweighted the bitcoin components

[bold kernel]

so there are less hatchet runners like you 😏

[cosmic tinsel]

basically removed the tetriz barter

[craggy sapphire]

BUT I AM HJATCHET RUNNING CUZ I HAVE NO MONEY

[cosmic tinsel]

theres only a stock of like 100 per reset

[rough hollow]

oh, okay. what are tetriz for now, then?

[craggy sapphire]

Yeah

[bold kernel]

lmao you have 4 tetrizes

[cosmic tinsel]

time to learn stash running, like i did when i was your age

[craggy sapphire]

I have 4

[bold kernel]

you have money alr

[craggy sapphire]

But i got em after the neft

[bold kernel]

just not in rouble form

[craggy sapphire]

nerf

[cosmic tinsel]

sell em to mechanic? not all things have value in this game

[craggy sapphire]

lol

[bold kernel]

back in the day

[craggy sapphire]

Never

[signal girder]

Man, a green swedish lollipop's gotta pay his bills

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly when i started there werent stashes lol

[bold kernel]

stash running is the most fun

its like a lottery

especially since they were buffed

[cosmic tinsel]

they put stashes in and i was like omg theres free money everywhere this is 2 ez

[bold kernel]

nah stash running is boring as shite

found a GPU in one

disagree but aight

[cosmic tinsel]

imagine having differing opinions 😄

[craggy sapphire]

I am going to spam the trade after this gane

Game

[bold kernel]

nah i understand where they are coming from

[craggy sapphire]

I hope for money

[bold kernel]

impossible

just different playstyles

[signal girder]

did tetriz prices plummet since the nerf?

[cosmic tinsel]

i dont do stash running, but it was fun when i started

[bold kernel]

tbh I stash run a lot but yeah it's extremely boring

i used to so much

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, its only something i recommend to poor people

[bold kernel]

but i havent gone to customs in ages which is where i used to go

now i go reserve instead

[cosmic tinsel]

and then this wipe it was like "welp why do anything other than sprint at interchange"

and it was hard to argue with the numbers

honestly interchange still extremely strong

top tier w reserve and labs after nerf still

[bold kernel]

So many people are getting rich by running interchange but am just too scared to do it :/

[signal girder]

omg tetriz prices did tank, that's hilarious

[unborn compass]

remove btc next wipe im down for it

[craggy sapphire]

Omfg

NOO

[signal girder]

lmfao

[craggy sapphire]

omg dude

[cosmic tinsel]

people have suggested changing it from .2btc to like, .05btc

[craggy sapphire]

Then everything will be so cheap

Bc it will be so hard to earn moneyt

[cosmic tinsel]

they really really like having it pegged to real world currency

[craggy sapphire]

And the game will honestly get boring

Really fucking quick

[slow tangle]

What do you recommend to do scav runs on?

[signal girder]

technically, it's profitable to buy tetriz's off the flea and spam buy the bitcoin when it's up

[unborn compass]

this my first wipe and im sorry but you should no be able to run up some stairs and get millions of dollars on dead servers

cmon now

[bold kernel]

not really aren't they 700k

[unborn compass]

sounds good if they do that to

[cosmic tinsel]

you got it backwards. everything is effectively free to me bc i have btc farm 50/50

[signal girder]

670k tetriz, 790k bitcoin

[cosmic tinsel]

no reason not to run chad builds every raid

[bold kernel]

damn

[signal girder]

120k profit not bad for a few clicks

[tropic vapor]

Welp

got 1 scav

[unborn compass]

exactly and passive income removes the whole point of the game right

[tropic vapor]

hitting shit with these iron sights is awful

[bold kernel]

except it requires you to have the money for a tetriz

[craggy sapphire]

Yeahh but if you do chad runs on labs it will be fun in my opinion

[cosmic tinsel]

if people were less rich, they'd wear less gear, and thered be more risk for bringing more gear

[unborn compass]

like if i get a btc every 16 hrs then i have free loadouts with less of the thrill of not wanting to die

[signal girder]

Personally, I like being able to play the game casually and still afford decent gear

[cosmic tinsel]

passive and risk free loot is only bad for tarkov

[unborn compass]

yeah i mean that makes sense aswell

[cosmic tinsel]

you could do that in prior wipes as well

[signal girder]

lol tru 😄

[unborn compass]

but i still agree with this

[cosmic tinsel]

marked rooms are still incredibly profitable

aesas 2 mil (also on my shit list)

bosses are fulla cash

theres tons of cash opportunities

the only difference is unlike hatchet running/btc farm, they all have risk

[craggy sapphire]

But the game is not fun anymore bc i can't make money wich makes it so that i can't do quests wich makes it so i can't get a btc farm up so i can be less stressed when i go in with gear

[rough hollow]

so do a few scav runs and make it out alive with some shit to sell

that basically all I do

[cosmic tinsel]

you can make money, you havent learned how, because the game taught you to run a degenerate strat

[bold kernel]

lol I was so broke once I sold my knife so I can't even call it hatchet running

[cosmic tinsel]

whens the last time you did a pc run

[craggy sapphire]

Bc when i started everybody told me to only do hatchet runs

[cosmic tinsel]

they were right, from a profit point of view, but that doesnt teach you to "play tarkov" imo

[signal girder]

man, 600k is fine to do early quests

[unborn compass]

if the only fun you get is basically flipping a coin to make heaps of money you gotta get off ic lol

[signal girder]

Agreed

[craggy sapphire]

Okay

[unborn compass]

how much are the loadouts you run how are you at 600k

[craggy sapphire]

You got a point

40k

[cosmic tinsel]

try other loot runs

if you love interchange, hit pcs there

[signal girder]

bruh lol

[cosmic tinsel]

cpus are still broken priced

[craggy sapphire]

THat is exactly what i do

[unborn compass]

40k because of the stim?

[signal girder]

15 runs worth of cash and you're worried

[cosmic tinsel]

as are cpu fans and circuitboards

[craggy sapphire]

Then i got to check the tech stores

And find gpu's

[cosmic tinsel]

you can still do all that

[craggy sapphire]

And then i get fucked over either by a chad or killa

[cosmic tinsel]

well

[bold kernel]

lol I have a friend who reset his account
got a violet and an ultra medical key from the tree of giving
After selling them he managed to blow through 10 million in a week and is now poor

[cosmic tinsel]

thats because the tech stores are high risk lol

and the offices are much lower risk

[craggy sapphire]

Ik that

[unborn compass]

can i upgrade my account or do i have to buy another one ? i kinda want more space next wipe

[bold kernel]

upgrade

[slow linden]

you can upgrade

[signal girder]

The tree of giving?

[bold kernel]

you can upgrade

[cosmic tinsel]

you can upgrade, its pro-rated

[bold kernel]

on customs behind old gas

[unborn compass]

lol yikes

[unborn compass]

hey tobi

[signal girder]

Why am I being made aware of this only now?

[slow linden]

hello there

[bold kernel]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

it can spawn any item in the game I think

[cosmic tinsel]

it can spawn anything, as i understand it

but it mostly spawns wooden foregrips

[bold kernel]

the giving tree can spawn gpus

[cosmic tinsel]

😄

[craggy sapphire]

Imma do rat runs on factory till i hit the jackpo

[signal girder]

knowing my luck, I'll go there and find a bunch of garbage

[cosmic tinsel]

its mostly garbage

every now and then its great

[bold kernel]

theres also a med bag by the giving treee

[unborn compass]

im bouta look this up ive never heard of the tree of giving and i play customs

[cosmic tinsel]

ive heard it called "giving tree" or "xmas tree"

[signal girder]

that actually helps me locate it easily. thanks

[slow linden]

the giving tree us funny

however

[bold kernel]

like someone said behind the old gas on the blue fence side

[cosmic tinsel]

theres a lone tree next to a medbag behind old gas, and if you look under the tree in the direction you walk from, you should see an item sitting there

[bold kernel]

yeah there's a tree and a medbag

[bold kernel]

I once had 2 items spawn

[signal girder]

omg, I walk by that all the time.... the thought of all the shit I may have missed

[cosmic tinsel]

i thought about writing 1-2 but then was like man if im wrong someones gonna correct me i'll play it safe

[bold kernel]

u porlly missed a shitty sks rear sight or some trash muzzle

[bold kernel]

lol

[slow linden]

^

[cosmic tinsel]

its garbage like, 95% of the time

[bold kernel]

yeah\

[cosmic tinsel]

its ok 4.9%

and its god tier .1%

[signal girder]

....So you're saying there's a chance?

Hatchling tree runs inc

[cosmic tinsel]

just like stashes, yeah

[signal girder]

lmao

[bold kernel]

meh for something that takes a second to check if you pass by it's worth it

[cosmic tinsel]

stashes can have almost anything in em as well afaik

[bold kernel]

theres also a hidden stash super close to it

[bold kernel]

yeah I found a redut-m in one

like the barrel stash by a fence nearby

[random sorrel]

https://gyazo.com/35a3666fbc64f87f065071fa3144ff31 guys what does this mean did i get hit by snb 2 times in the thorax and once in the right arm? from 2 bullets or 3?

[signal girder]

Best I get with stashes are bitcoins and zhuk-6's

[cosmic tinsel]

likely 3, 2 thorax 1 in right arm, but the 2 in thorax COULD be a fragment

[rough hollow]

bullet could have fragmented

[cosmic tinsel]

snbs a low fragment% round, but still could i think

[near chasm]

Heeelp.

I am still new.

Kinda.

[craggy sapphire]

Died

[signal girder]

Deserving of a hatchling lol

[rough hollow]

rip

[craggy sapphire]

I am doing rat runs

[bold kernel]

hatchlings are bad

[random sorrel]

i still dont understand if it fragmented wouldnt it show once but just on every bodypart?

[slow linden]

map?

[random sorrel]

it shows it three times

[unborn compass]

where

[craggy sapphire]

Factory

[cosmic tinsel]

fragments are like crits, they doublehit a bodypart or adjacent body parts

[bold kernel]

I think you got hit in thorax, then your arm then your thorax again

[slow linden]

thats

thats your issue

[unborn compass]

the best map ever

[bold kernel]

....

[unborn compass]

lol

[bold kernel]

you can

[craggy sapphire]

BUT THAT IS MY LAST RESORT

[cosmic tinsel]

its not a loot map. its a great map but its not a loot map

[bold kernel]

you can't rat factory

[slow linden]

one word: reserve

[unborn compass]

true haha

[bold kernel]

yeah I go to factory once I get a good kit

[cosmic tinsel]

its basically just a casino to swap pmc gear

[signal girder]

and why haven't you sold all those graphics cards you got?

[rough hollow]

reserve is kinda hard to rat run, there are no normal exits on that map for pmc

[craggy sapphire]

...

[rough hollow]

you need to at least understand the map a bit

[slow linden]

red rebel go brrrr

[rough hollow]

lol

[craggy sapphire]

Are they fir?

[rough hollow]

maybe I need a red rebel

[unborn compass]

this guy , how many are found in raid haha

[bold kernel]

sell them to the rapist for 118k each lol

[slow linden]

don't bother unless you main reserve

[craggy sapphire]

I want to give two of em away to someone

[haughty tulip]

I have peaked

[unborn compass]

imagine

[unborn compass]

why keep em

[bold kernel]

.

[unborn compass]

use them on btc farm

[cosmic tinsel]

saw a new d-2 camp yesterday thats good to know

[slow linden]

thank you

[haughty tulip]

People knnow about it

[slow linden]

THANK YOU @cosmic tinsel

[craggy sapphire]

I will still have ten and idrk

idrc

[slow linden]

I SHALL USE IT

[cosmic tinsel]

i think it requires 2 people

[haughty tulip]

Why go pmc reserve when you can just kill gluhart and they boys as a scav

[bold kernel]

you aren't using them for btc farm cause you don't have it
You can't sell on flea
so sell to the rapist @craggy sapphire

[cosmic tinsel]

but i walked all the way up that steel stair before he legged me with 45RIP

[haughty tulip]

bro

wtf

[unborn compass]

map?

[haughty tulip]

I am

On edge

[bold kernel]

glucose

reserve

[cosmic tinsel]

i think you've got great mechanics and you need to appreciate that a lot of people dont have natural shooter skills like you

[craggy sapphire]

I am doing the one and only toz run on factory

Gluhar

[haughty tulip]

That's why you should go reserve scav

That's how I got to kill him

[cosmic tinsel]

you've found a high violence playstyle that works for you but a lot of people are stuggling to do things other than rat rn

[bold kernel]

*If you're good

[haughty tulip]

So many raider kills

[bold kernel]

at pvp

[haughty tulip]

No no

I am not aggresive

[cosmic tinsel]

this is technically pve, but it still requires being good

[haughty tulip]

I took my time

[bold kernel]

yea

[haughty tulip]

Yeah i know he's hard

[bold kernel]

I have died so many times to glucose

[signal girder]

Man, a single stash run will get you 700k+ in 12mins

[rough hollow]

they may be AIs, but their bullets still kill u

[haughty tulip]

Bro

But

I can't

I got so excited my tension is going down

[craggy sapphire]

Ik

[haughty tulip]

Send emergency food

Before I pass out

[signal girder]

This green lollipop

too stubborn

[unborn compass]

im just waiting for my intelligence center to finally upgrade so i can start my btc farm

[haughty tulip]

I have peaked as a Scav

Now I am the new Gluhart

[bold kernel]

where may one find raiders without hacving to turn on the alarm and run across the entire map?

[haughty tulip]

Labs

[slow linden]

d-2

[haughty tulip]

Yeah but isn't that by chance

I've gone there alot as a scav

And I barely see them

[slow linden]

it partly is

[bold kernel]

lol every time I go to d2 there's like 100 dead raiders

[slow linden]

and partly isn't

[cosmic tinsel]

the areas near the d-2 switch can have raiders

[haughty tulip]

Idk maybe i'm unucky

[cosmic tinsel]

raiders can spawn when train arrives, when hermetic door is open

[haughty tulip]

And that's why I haven't found them that often

[craggy sapphire]

WTF

[north gyro]

its good to go as a duo on reserve and have one turn on hermetic door power

[bold kernel]

ooh train arrival may be the most likely one to get as a scavvie boie

[craggy sapphire]

I RUN INTO A CHAD DUO IMMEDIATLY

[bold kernel]

ok

tarkov

[slow linden]

haha yup thats tarkov

[cosmic tinsel]

that's tarkov, baby

[craggy sapphire]

lol

[cosmic tinsel]

but sometimes you kill em

[slow linden]

mhm

[cosmic tinsel]

and you get SO MUCH GEAR YOU CAN BARELY WALK

and then the adrenaline hits

[craggy sapphire]

2 min

[signal girder]

Do a stash run before I tell Chup-a-chups that you're off duty

[slow linden]

btw

[cosmic tinsel]

maybe you escape, maybe you get shot in the back of the head and feel sad about losin a million in gear

[craggy sapphire]

I am going to do that when i get home

[haughty tulip]

Yeah I'm always going alone in case someone here is interested in learning reserve scav

[slow linden]

virgin money case < full wallets in couch back

[haughty tulip]

@north gyro

Then I duo

[cosmic tinsel]

what the heck are you taggin him for lol

[craggy sapphire]

Bc i have practice in like thirty min

[haughty tulip]

Because he replied to my msg but I forgot to do the same

[signal girder]

I would if I was on the other side of the planet

[haughty tulip]

Lol

I actually wont do another raid

I need to eat

[bold kernel]

lol for me the adrenaline comes from actually killing someone not the fear of loosing the loots

[north gyro]

reserve as a scav is the only way i play it. me and my buddy make all our money there when we play together

[bold kernel]

factory is poggers for adrenaline

[cosmic tinsel]

i get it both ways. nothin more tense than weighin 70kg at dorms with no v-ex

[craggy sapphire]

NOO

I MISSED IT

[slow linden]

?

[craggy sapphire]

FUCJ

The btc restock

[slow linden]

oh dude

dont sweat it

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah thats... maybe gonna be life

[bold kernel]

oooof

[slow linden]

they get bought out in like

15 seconds

cause of bots

[cosmic tinsel]

doubt its bots honestly

[tropic vapor]

round 2

[cosmic tinsel]

fuel was goin like that too during the shortage

[unborn compass]

dora you gotta like sit their for hours untill you get it lol

[haughty tulip]

Yeah man that's where easy money is at I started not long ago and now that's the only place I scav

[tropic vapor]

that for whoever suggested the camp by bridge

[haughty tulip]

But today I peaked

[tropic vapor]

*thanks

[cosmic tinsel]

mess em up!

[haughty tulip]

Soloing scav boss and his guards by myself with random loot is hard af

[tropic vapor]

maybe ill creep up on another dude and dome him again lol

[haughty tulip]

I actually was in denial and I was telling myself this was some random raiders

[bold kernel]

wht did you have

[haughty tulip]

Because I killed 2 with saiga12g with buckshot

5 rounder too

What? What did I got from it?

[bold kernel]

no what did you spawn with

[haughty tulip]

Saiga with buckshot

[celest sage]

How bad is the Tetris thing barter rn?

[haughty tulip]

and just 2 mags

so 10 bullets total

And that's how I went

Really bad

[cosmic tinsel]

its basically gone

[unborn compass]

got sold out mucho fast

[haughty tulip]

I haven't traded any

Sell the tetriz on flea

[celest sage]

Worse than fuel?

[cosmic tinsel]

yes

[haughty tulip]

Yes

[celest sage]

I didn’t understand the issue with the fuel

I never didn’t get one

[unborn compass]

me neither because i joined at the end of it

[haughty tulip]

Because bitcoin is broken

[cosmic tinsel]

^

[signal girder]

Oh it worked, yay

[celest sage]

Would just set an alarm for the timer and then 5-10 seconds after the timer hits 0 I can buy

[haughty tulip]

damn zhuka is so bad to repair

110k

lol

[bold kernel]

Can I extract at rock passage from the other side of the river or do I have to pass over

[cosmic tinsel]

ceramic stinks to repair

[haughty tulip]

Yeah

[cosmic tinsel]

have to cross

[bold kernel]

hecc

[cosmic tinsel]

there are rocks across river in addition to the bridge

[haughty tulip]

It's still going for 400k tho

[celest sage]

There’s a bridge at the extract

[haughty tulip]

[celest sage]

Who uses that lmao

[bold kernel]

yeah ik it's just hella open
I passed and got out

[haughty tulip]

Someone does

[celest sage]

Just use korund

[bold kernel]

gzhelk better

[signal girder]

w r o n g

[cosmic tinsel]

korund lasts longer

i love my gzhels but they're single use for me

and korunds come back and can repair enough for 3-4 raids

[celest sage]

Korund way better

50k extra for an armor that breaks after 2 raids?

I’ll pass

[signal girder]

Korund is bigger, so people are less likely to steal it. Repairs way better. keeps high % total durability on repair, so keeps blocking after multiple repairs

[cosmic tinsel]

ehhh gzhels were like 110k on flea last time i checked

[celest sage]

150 rn

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah not worth it

[signal girder]

110k korund from prapor

[cosmic tinsel]

ceramic is better for one raid

[haughty tulip]

I'm not saying I'm going to use it

[cosmic tinsel]

but theres a reason i only run korund

yeah

[haughty tulip]

But I got it from raid

So

Might as well try and sell it

[signal girder]

I love how your mouse movements match your speech

[unborn compass]

youre a mad man for taking the cms at that spot haha

[celest sage]

Yes but that doesn’t make it better

[craggy sapphire]

I forgot you can't move while doing surgery

[celest sage]

When you left click you can move instantly

[cosmic tinsel]

not while applying leg splints, either

[celest sage]

Arm breaks are the best for those two jaeger tasks

The tremor and the pain

[signal girder]

spam left click to cancel cartridge reloads, meds, and several other things

[celest sage]

You can just click once

[signal girder]

yeah but when you're panicking, it sure as hell won't feel like it

[celest sage]

Most important thing in this game is to stay calm

[bold kernel]

ooof I thought I should just quickly try and get peacekeeper L3
Turns out I need to do the task where you dress up like a blueberry boi and kill a bunch of scavs ;-;

[signal girder]

comes with experience

[celest sage]

It’s not that bad

[signal girder]

I still have some blueberry quests

[bold kernel]

if you're not poor ;-;

lol

[signal girder]

Ye gods

[sand geyser]

can i get hellp extracting on reserve on screenshare

[near chasm]

I need help, hewp.

[signal girder]

with

[maiden perch]

are you PMC or Scav?

[rough hollow]

what's the best stuff to sell to peacekeeper to level him up?

[signal girder]

Either just buy the USD or sell him slim diaries

[rough hollow]

hmm, alright. I guess I need a lot of dollars then

[signal girder]

They'll be put to good use, I can assure you that lol

[haughty tulip]

I usually sold everything I brought from a scav raid

That he would accept

That's how I level him up

[rotund venture]

E

[haughty tulip]

Anyway buying $ is good since you use it a lot for modding

[signal girder]

^

[rough hollow]

it would probably also help if I completed his weapon modding quests.

I still haven't done the first one

[signal girder]

Mechanic gives those

[rough hollow]

oh, right

[unborn compass]

LVL 27 BABY LETS GO

[signal girder]

or you mean like, the ones where parts from peacekeeper are needed?

[rough hollow]

I really have no idea

[sand geyser]

PMC

[rough hollow]

someone mentioned modding and that's where my head went

[signal girder]

Peacekeeper's quests are easy tho, don't even worry about it

only annoying ones are the blueberry ones

[sand geyser]

PMC

[haughty tulip]

I don't like shoreline tho

[rough hollow]

still, probably not a bad idea to do mechanic's modding quest

[maiden perch]

Reserve is Difficult to extract on, on PMC, and can involve considerable combat, its sort of a 'labs light'

[signal girder]

It's basically buying EXP (which is worth it) until you get the ones that reward you with bitcoin

[maiden perch]

I recommend you go to the giant train building and wait for the train if its pre-22 min

[haughty tulip]

He's gonna get shot by scav army

[rotund venture]

nah do interchange

[maiden perch]

Im not sending him to D2

[haughty tulip]

Or extract camped at d2

yeah

[rough hollow]

honestly he might have an easier time trying alarm

[maiden perch]

hell got shot by extract campers\chats

[haughty tulip]

If he goes to hermetic

and waits

[rough hollow]

maybe someone else will activate it

yeah

[haughty tulip]

I guarantee somone will trigger alarm

[maiden perch]

Id just wait for train, and if soeone hits it run to it.

I doubt

not sure what reserve map you play lol

mine goes off once every 3 runs

[rough hollow]

the one where the alarm is always ringing

[haughty tulip]

I did that

[rough hollow]

I swear

[maiden perch]

lol

[haughty tulip]

I waited near bunker

[maiden perch]

This game is so awesome ❤️

[haughty tulip]

Someone pulled the alarm

[signal girder]

As a scav, someone pulled the alarm while i was near it.

Camped it like a dirty asshole and killed a pmc

[haughty tulip]

Do you know how to get to hermetic bunker

[rough hollow]

lol

[haughty tulip]

That place is also safe after some 10m

Not below but above

[sand geyser]

nvm im ded

[haughty tulip]

lol

[maiden perch]

LOL

[haughty tulip]

Yeah reserve is a party

[signal girder]

I woulda helped, but I'm no reserve expert

[sand geyser]

i had broken legs anyways

[maiden perch]

@sand geyser I would avoid reserve my man, or if your gonna run it check out several exits in offline mode.

[haughty tulip]

With metal heads

[maiden perch]

Oh you werent gonna live with broken legs

[haughty tulip]

Reserve as scav

[sand geyser]

i had a team

[haughty tulip]

Ahhhh

[maiden perch]

Oh

[signal girder]

Unlike SOME people who coulda helped @haughty tulip

[haughty tulip]

Where's the cms at

[maiden perch]

teams are nice....what happened to it?

[haughty tulip]

what

[sand geyser]

i didnt have splint not cms

[haughty tulip]

[signal girder]

lmao

[haughty tulip]

Didn't you take one

?

Or you ran out

[sand geyser]

i took 1

lol

[bold kernel]

whenever I load into reserve and reserve only I get massive stutters and frame drops help

[sand geyser]

but there were 5 raiders and a boss and multiple scavs and pmc

same

mhh perhaps

[tropic vapor]

... when you try and go kill scav but kill this guy instead

[rough hollow]

big rip

[signal girder]

Min settings. Close pornhub

[haughty tulip]

Should I sell the ash12

[bold kernel]

lmao

[signal girder]

So it was YOU who killed Osama

[haughty tulip]

papa made 2m roubles

I'm so proud of myself

I wish I had a bigger backpack

[tropic vapor]

speaking of that

i got a scav with a mosin

[bold kernel]

I don't think scaving reserve is worth it ;-;

[haughty tulip]

But...

[tropic vapor]

should i try reserve?

[haughty tulip]

I've been making millions

Mosin?

[rough hollow]

my first time scaving reserve I spawned in with intel

[haughty tulip]

You could kill a scav for a better weapon

If you plan to kill raiders

[rough hollow]

so I just left

[haughty tulip]

Bro

That's like

[bold kernel]

Just did 2 runs
Once I killed aa guy with my adar and proceeded to get sniped from dome
Second time I just died to a thicc man

[haughty tulip]

1/3 of what you can gget

I spawned with a labs keycard

I dropped the bag with the keycard on a bush and went on to farm raiders

[rough hollow]

yeah. I've spawned with a labs keycard on customs before

[bold kernel]

that's just rng

[rough hollow]

lol

[bold kernel]

I've spawned with labs cards like 3 or 4 times

[haughty tulip]

I am talking on how little I care for 300-400k

[rough hollow]

maybe I'll try fighting raiders next time on reserve

[haughty tulip]

When you can make more

[signal girder]

and survive less

[rough hollow]

I could make more, or I could get out with what I've got

[signal girder]

so effectively <1mil per run

[haughty tulip]

Well yeah

[bold kernel]

if you're a pvp god with incredible confidence

[haughty tulip]

Up to you

As a scav?

I mean

I slap people

That's how I get out every raid

Don't you think you are the only scav trying to get loot

[signal girder]

just kill people 4head

[stable sable]

I don't get how to find extraction points

[haughty tulip]

What map

[signal girder]

download map jpegs

[haughty tulip]

Also get a map

yeah

That

[stable sable]

But how do i know where i am on that map?

[haughty tulip]

Points of reference

Which map you need help with

?

[signal girder]

At the beginning, you kinda have to scope them out on offline mode if you don't have a sherpa

[haughty tulip]

Are you ingame or not

[stable sable]

I'm not ingame

[haughty tulip]

Ok

So what Shizu said is probably the best way

[stable sable]

But i could not reach them in time last few matches

[haughty tulip]

I'd add youtube vids on top of that

[tropic vapor]

tank batteries worth anything?

[haughty tulip]

Eh

[stable sable]

I played shoreline
