#

oh you make far more than that lol

craggy sapphire
#

But bc if the tetriz nerf

#

I am poor af

limber notch
#

same

vernal fiber
#

and GPU is still massive money

limber notch
#

but I still never naked run

#

I run scav, get money, go in geared, die, repeat

vernal fiber
#

how well do you know the maps?

limber notch
#

pretty well

vernal fiber
#

enough to function, competently, mastered?

limber notch
#

competently

#

can run all without maps

vernal fiber
#

is this your first wipe?

limber notch
#

yes

vernal fiber
#

yeah, its a bit of a learning curve

limber notch
#

100hrs in rn

vernal fiber
#

but once you get going you'll get way higher sr

limber notch
#

31% sr 😒

vernal fiber
#

lol, I have 38% but for a very different reason

#

I just take fights I really shouldn't

limber notch
#

I made the mistake of running factory naked with glock for about 20 raids

vernal fiber
#

ah

limber notch
#

money and gear sink

vernal fiber
#

pistolling as a viable strategy for kills is something a lot of players are misinformed about

#

pistols are not good

#

you need to be able to thoroughly outplay or out aim people with a pistol to kill them

limber notch
#

I got m4 and vector but not worth the time and money

#

could have bought and modded both with what I lost

#

Rn every one I come across throws nades non stop

median edge
#

T4 ceramic is so useless

#

ceramic armors tank 3 bullets lol

limber notch
#

So I spent 150k (half my money) on f-1 nades

wet sentinel
#

the best budget armor

vernal fiber
limber notch
#

I used to run interchange for money (running the back - storage area) but I might go to another map

median edge
vernal fiber
vernal fiber
#

its a well known fact

#

6b3tm is the best value

median edge
limber notch
slow linden
limber notch
#

Idm

#

Safe would be bunkers/tunnels I assume

wet sentinel
#

it's the best armor for cost efficiency, should be known, I just spend money on korunds because I want level 5

limber notch
#

risky - black bishop?

vernal fiber
#

buy AACPC's instead

slow linden
#

Safe(ish) is my route, cages in bunker hermetic/knight buildings

vernal fiber
#

far better value

wet sentinel
#

yes but they also make my pmc look cool

vernal fiber
#

lmao

slow linden
#

Gambling - D-2, Marked Rooms and Dropdown

vernal fiber
limber notch
wet sentinel
#

nah I gotta look like a blackwater merc

slow linden
median edge
#

yea i need to start running reserver

vernal fiber
slow linden
#

What in the hell is that m4

median edge
#

are there any quests on reserve?

slow linden
#

Bunker Part 1 and 2

vernal fiber
median edge
#

that's it?

slow linden
#

Regulated Materials

wet sentinel
#

it's an 18" barrel for sniping

median edge

Shooter Born in Heaven

vernal fiber
median edge
#

i got all of them

#

vernal fiber
#

the only ones you need, are Eraser part 1, and Reserv

#

(for kappa)

slow linden
median edge
#

;)

vernal fiber
#

hm

median edge
#

btw red rebel is only 2m at max πŸ˜„

#

If you buy it from jaegr

vernal fiber
#

barter trade yes

slow linden
#

Yea

vernal fiber
#

anymore breaking news?

#

/j

slow linden
#

Tetriz’s have plunged in profit

#

Who would’ve thunk

vernal fiber
#

good, at least with a GPU you're more incentivised to get out

#

and actually risk dying

limber notch
#

tobi what do you mean by cages under knight?

slow linden
#

More like having a small seizure as you go β€œah fuck I gotta go man!!” to your teammate

slow linden
limber notch
#

Oh ok

vernal fiber
#

gpu dont do it for me anymore :/

limber notch
#

thanks

slow linden
slow linden
#

Reserve is a keyed up map

limber notch
#

yeah, I have a couple but not many

slow linden
#

Mk

#

Show me

limber notch
#

RB-VO is good, RB-ORB 2 and KORL are meh

limber notch

hey guys i just got the game and on the launcher when i click patch detected update, it updates and then immediately coems up with another patch update right after and keeps doing it

shrewd hatch
craggy sapphire
#

lol

stray hazel
#

can someone hlep me get into the game? πŸ™‚

vernal fiber
#

step 1: get a refund, step 2: dont

#

/j

stray hazel
#

πŸ˜„

#

no seriously can someone help me? i played a few times, but i dont really know what to do

umbral spire
#

i reinstalled the launcher and it worked now but idk if this is most recent patch

umbral spire
#

ok thanks

orchid surge
#

WHy can some people search 2 things at a time?

vernal fiber
#

levelled by searching containers

rigid ivy
#

I've got a handful of hours in the game now, I keep running a Korund even though I'm told it's bad. What's a decent value alternative to a Korund armor?

vernal fiber
#

60/60, best material, tier 5, low movement penalties, no need to buy a good rig <-- 2x2 slot

#

all for about 200k from barter

#

korunds arent worth buying, only use them if you get them

rigid ivy
#

I was about to cry about it being 400k, might as well get a hexgrid at that price

#

I'll look into the barter, thanks

vernal fiber
#

^ barter trade at t4, about 200k, 3 cordura, 3 rip, 1 whiskey

#

but prices fluctuate

#

so if you can get them low, its even better

vernal fiber
rigid ivy
#

the CPC is less than 200k atm with barters, nice one, thanks

#

The korund destroys easily as well, I guess that' won't be such a big problem with this

vernal fiber
#

^ I tell this to everyone (prob shouldnt itll go up in price D:) but it is purely the best value armour in the game

vernal fiber
#

otherwise, bad effective durability, (even gzhel beats it lol), and large movement penalties

icy trout
#

Anyone able to help a man open marked room a few times?

rigid ivy
#

Korund "lives" with 40+ durability for roughly 3 raids then it's out yeah, but I mean, it's still only 100k plus insurance etc

vernal fiber
#

^ but the thing is you have to buy a rig, good rigs are about 40-50k, at that point just get an AACPC, far better for only a bit more

rigid ivy
#

true

vernal fiber
#

aacpc used to be 150k as well, was truly the fucking best then, but they added whiskey to barter :/

bold kernel
#

anyone know what I'm doing wrong? First timer here...

vernal fiber
#

no clue

#

google it

rigid ivy
#

vodka has gone up in price too, otherwise it would have been worth it to craft the whiskey in the hideout as well

vernal fiber
#

yup, its needed for quite a few trades

#

for example thicc items

rigid ivy
#

it's nice anyhows. And it'll bring total body weight down too I guess

azure dragon
#

actually yea since when did vodka get so expensive?

rigid ivy
#

from 15kg to roughly half

#

I sold vodka last night at 15-20k I think, they're 35k+ now

azure dragon
#

I'll check, was about to get on right now anyway

rigid ivy
#

I also sold green lithium batts at 250k the night of the barter so IDK

azure dragon
#

I sold a green batt for 100k

#

yesterday

rigid ivy
#

They're 120k or so now yeah

azure dragon
#

yea

serene moon
#

I'm a new level 2 looking for someone to run through customs with me and help me not die. (:

azure dragon
#

I was like "waaait why are these so expensive now?"

#

turns out they're needed for the bitcoin barter

#

since like what, a day or two ago?

#

what are these used for again?

vernal fiber
#

thicc, aacpc

#

some others but I dont know them all

azure dragon
#

ah

vernal fiber
#

bravo, m4, the skanda

azure dragon
#

not sure what half of those are

#

bravo is an assault scope I think

vernal fiber
#

bravo is a scope, m4 is a modded m4, skanda is a t4 armoured rig

azure dragon
#

ah rig

vernal fiber
#

its not that great

azure dragon
#

aacpc is the helmet right?

vernal fiber
#

aacpc is a t5 armoured rig

#

best value :3

azure dragon
#

I was thinking of the Striker ACHHC

serene moon
#

I'm a new level 2 looking for someone to run through customs with me and help me not die. (:

azure dragon
#

ah

#

the beginning is really rough yea

#

customs isn't a very beginner friendly map but it's a kinda good learning environment after you got the basics down

serene moon
#

I was told to do it for the beginner missions.

azure dragon
#

yea

rigid ivy
#

I'd rather tip you to try out some offline raids to figure out how the map works

azure dragon
#

which one are you on?

serene moon
#

The first two.

azure dragon
#

also that might be a good idea actually

#

customs doesn't have that difficult of a map layout

#

and you'll have to go there for a lot of your early quests

serene moon
#

How does offline mode work?

azure dragon
#

I always have map genie open on the side while I play

serene moon
#

Do I not keep loot?

azure dragon
#

no, but you also don't lose anything

rigid ivy
#

Nothing happens in offline. You can bring your most expensive stuff, food, ammo etc. If you die you just reset

azure dragon
#

the game treats it as if you were never in the raid at all

rigid ivy
#

Also, no loot gets out, no skillups no nothing. But the map knowledge is invaluable

azure dragon
#

knowing extract points and how to get there is one of the most important parts of this game

serene moon
#

I'll try it out and run around map a bit, thank you.

azure dragon
#

look up map genie in a browser aswell

rigid ivy
#

I hope they implement multiplayer offline raids to show people the basics and stuff

azure dragon
#

it helps a lot

azure dragon
rigid ivy
azure dragon
#

but they plan to get rid of offline mode when the game gets out of early access I believe

#

so probably won't change much to it

rigid ivy
#

Exactly - I'm 350 raids in now, 450 hours ingame (So I spend a lot of time hyping myself up for raids) - And I've BARELY learned all the maps now.

azure dragon
#

I still have some map learning to do

#

and need to build up more confidence and combat experience

#

would say I've been doing pretty alright for getting into the game though

rigid ivy
#

yeah same here. I was a regular chad on Customs doing my silent caliber runs, owning up dorms, 5+ kills each game etc etc.
But I can't get myself to go Interchange for tasks, I fear and hate that map to the bone

azure dragon
#

I know the outside of interchange perfectly now, it's where I do my scav runs to get money

#

trying to slowly learn the inside more

#

still gotta learn reserve and especially shoreline

rigid ivy
#

I know the map, I just fear the clusterfuck around Killa/Rasmussen area where I have to go :<

azure dragon
#

customs I know the layout pretty well of now but I gotta just run it more

rigid ivy
#

Reserve bunkers is rough to learn for me πŸ˜„

azure dragon
#

factory is easy to learn the rough layout of as long as you can stay alive for longer than 5 seconds, easier said than done though

#

woods is easy to figure out your spawns in but getting around through all of the trees takes a bit of time

rigid ivy
#

the game tries to ease you into factory though, and it's just a pvp-fest too.
It's the most fun atm though since people come in without gear for the most part

azure dragon
#

labs I'll just not be touching until I'm pretty confident in my pvp

vernal fiber
#

labs is fun πŸ˜„

#

but you need cards or free reign to farm raiders to make most of your money back

rigid ivy
#

I'm looking forward to playing labs. But I feel it's a big fat money sink

azure dragon
vernal fiber
azure dragon
vernal fiber
#

most of the stuff you find isnt worth much non-fir

azure dragon
#

you die, you lose all of your shit

#

you live

vernal fiber
#

^

azure dragon
#

you get to take everyone elses

#

and people bring big guns

vernal fiber
#

you can get a ton of player loot, and a load of valuable backpack stuff

#

just not as much container shoveable stuff

azure dragon
#

there's also the raiders

#

and just the general pretty intimidating atmosphere

#

game is just kinda intimidating in general

#

I keep getting startled

rigid ivy
#

that's what makes it beautiful though

azure dragon
#

yea it's fun

#

kinda wish my friend wanted to play together more often though

vernal fiber
#

:/

#

what level are you mog?

#

and snej

azure dragon
#

I'm level 23 now

rigid ivy
#

I did a hatchet run on shoreline to do a task since I didnt know where I had to go, ended up getting M61'ed, 554'ed AND 556'ed to the thorax several times. Managed to extract with scraps from other kills too. It was a fun way to switch it up a little

#

I'm 44, reasonably close to Kappa - Biggest hurdle is going to be SBIH and Grenadier I think

vernal fiber
vernal fiber
#

did most of mine naturally

azure dragon
#

still just trying to learn a lot of the game but I'm getting there, kinda

rigid ivy
#

I'm just going to build a handfuld of AK101's and use my SVD's from Punisher and just fuckin' CAMP areas

vernal fiber
#

whats the moa on it

#

personally I think dmr's are better

#

as well as sv98 for cheapskate runs

rigid ivy
#

Decent I think. Muzzle velocity is nearly 1000m/s though

vernal fiber
#

ah

#

if you use 995 I can see that

rigid ivy
#

855A1 is alright too

#

you're not going for thorax kills anyhow

vernal fiber
#

referring to velocity

#

but fair

rigid ivy
#

it's 60m/s I think - I don't think it's going to be the defining factor πŸ˜„ At least not if you get used to 855

azure dragon
#

I think learning to snipe properly for shooter born in heaven and tarkov shooter will be difficult for me at first

random ridge
#

its actually painful when nobody puts on power in ic

rigid ivy
#

I don't know, a lot of this stuff is down to luck I feel.
I didnt have the task but I did a 4kill on woods with an SV98. An hour later I find out it's what people struggle the most with. Now I can't get it done if I "try" πŸ˜„

vernal fiber
tropic path
#

is there any safe places to snipe raiders on reserve?

rigid ivy
#

True - Remember we're talking 100-200meter shots mostly

#

safe place and reserve don't really go hand in hand πŸ˜›

tropic path
#

haha, i just know after i tag one or two ill get lasered πŸ˜’

rigid ivy
#

They'll shoot you with their assault rifles even at 100+meters

azure dragon
#

yea the raiders on reserve are scary

vernal fiber
azure dragon
#

okay yea scavs can be pretty scary

#

but reserve has an entirely different breed

random ridge
#

am I mistaken

#

or is there 2 tech spawns in idea

tropic path
#

i have a m700, but i think im just going to run away. wont be able to loot them

azure dragon
#

there's multiple tech stores, techlite is just the biggest one

#

I think

random ridge
#

i mean like yk the back rooms in idea

azure dragon
#

oh

random ridge
#

they're shelves that lead into computer labs

#

i swear there's two this one looks different

#

im still learning ic

azure dragon
#

I don't know anything about those

random ridge
#

oh right

#

pretty slept on spots tbh

#

i just lost orientation

rigid ivy
#

There's only IDEA office for heavy tech spawns afaik

random ridge
#

i got a gpu there yesterday and a tetriz a couple days ago

#

ive just completely lost orientation today

rigid ivy
#

there's a shelving area that leads straight into a computer lab, that's the idea office

random ridge
#

ohhh right

rigid ivy
#

it's like a little walled off section (with "open" roof) inside the idea warehouse

random ridge
#

found it

#

finally

azure dragon
#

I upgraded my stash yesterday and got left with practically no money, that was fun

#

oh and the scav raids weren't going well

#

of course that's the moment the game decides to give me no luck on scav raids

random ridge
#

i just got my btc farm

#

my money has actually been halfed

#

but soon it will be making me money

azure dragon
#

yea

#

lots of it

#

I wonder when the bitcoin farm actually becomes available

rigid ivy
#

yeah that's ROUGH! - I learned a "safe" way of making money with little to no pvp involved on woods

#

it's also not SUPER profitable unless you get lucky

random ridge
#

this is the complete opposite of safe

#

but safe runs on customs

rigid ivy
#

But basically do a hidden stash run on woods, customs, interchange

random ridge
#

never had so many rollers in my life

azure dragon
#

I just go interchange with scav, make my way out of the store and either loot all of the stashes on my way to railway or loot the power station and go out through emmercom

rigid ivy
#

safe runs on customs or shoreline is decent too since you can stash high value stuff in your butt

azure dragon
#

the scav loot runs are actually one of my favourite things to do tbh

rigid ivy
#

you're not too attached to your gear that way πŸ™‚

#

I rarely run my scav now since I want to level my skills regardless. The bitcoin farm keeps you going on gear too

azure dragon
#

I'm normally not either, it's more just that you have to get a new loadout together if you die

#

and it's like a break from questing

rigid ivy
#

I'm trying to get a kill on Killa on interchange. It's a bum-rush fest of stupid proportions

#

and you need to run good ammo to stand a chance at least

azure dragon
#

I should go into the store on my PMC for some quests but I just like looting the outside as a scav much more

random ridge
#

any heavy loot spawns in oli

#

tech*

rigid ivy
#

No tech stuff except for the back-office area with A LOT of computers you can loot. But Oli is thicc on utility stuff like water filters and motors and other good stuff

random ridge
#

scavving interchange is some way to make money

azure dragon
#

I thought motors weren't very valuable

random ridge
#

they're like 40k

#

not great for a 4 slot but no harm in picking them up

rigid ivy
#

heavy though

random hare
#

How long does it take on average for a item to sell on the flea market?

rigid ivy
#

instant if you set the price low generally

#

unless it's weapon mods, those might take some time unless it's meta stuff

random hare
#

I sold an OFZ shell a Water Filter and an AK-74 at a medium price would those sell quick?

rigid ivy
#

Water Filters sell at 160-210k I think, shells are needed for various crafts too

#

I rarely make a profit on weapons compared to just vendoring

random hare
#

Oh I sold an water filter for 198k I guess I should lower

rigid ivy
#

depends on the market. Generally if you set your price to the lowest, it'll sell instantly more or less

random hare
#

I see thx alot!

brave mauve
#

taking my kills and walking away

random ridge
rigid ivy
#

I look at lowest price and just drop my price so I'll be top search. Usually you have so much stuff to sell that you can't wait several minutes for a sale

random hare
#

Oh and another question do items go away if you cancel

rigid ivy
#

No you just get reduced reputation with the flea market, lose your fee and the item will be returned to you within a few minutes

bold kernel
#

Ello

random hare
#

oh so I should get it back in a bit cause I can't find it anymore

rigid ivy
#

Ragman will send you a message with it πŸ™‚

random hare
#

Just found out thx

bold kernel
#

Yes, when you remove an offer it takes about 3 minutes for it to be back

#

Nice

#

I need some help with the first pk blueberry boi quest

#

Kill 10 scavs on Shoreline while wearing the untar uniform

#

Small problem

#

The armor is shite and it makes you incredibly easy to spot

small cairn
#

good thing you are killing scavs then squirtlederp

bold kernel
#

Lol true but it still is no good if I want to hide in a bush for a bit

rigid ivy
#

Scavs don't see colours. Their vision resembles the matrix code. They only see "Head, eyes!"

bold kernel
#

Also where can I find scavs

small cairn
#

Near the beach, both at gas/at the blue fence part

#

obviously also at resort

#

powerstation

#

and some roadblock near escape to customs

#

should be on the same road IIRC

#

I got like 7 or 8 in a single run

#

as a blue berry

random hare
#

Wait how come my max sails have went from 3 to 2?

rigid ivy
#

Red markings are regular spawns for scavs (Might have to wait a few minutes for them to spawn)

#

Blue markings are Sanitar spawns (Scav Boss)

rigid ivy
random hare
#

OOH true

#

im stupid lol

bold kernel
#

I need help, I was doing rat run with a knife, and a super geared guy comes to me and starts doing the wigle, so I follow him, he started fighting, he killed a guy, I gave him CMS and he let me loot his kill and take gun and we ended up extracting together, is there any way I can find his name to friend him?

rigid ivy
#

No chance, unless the guy he killed had a dogtag you took?

small cairn
#

If u were fast, then u could had waved to him and if he waved back it says "xx greeted you"

#

or that if u stole the dogtag

cunning pilot
#

Game is way too dark for me, does anyone have any clue how to make it look brighter specially on interchange?

rigid ivy
#

load into an offline raid on interchange, and you can fiddle around with the graphics and it'll visualize what you're doing

#

Under PostFX you get a visualize button where you can drag the sliders around

shy canyon
#

just got bitcoin farm up, have 5/10 GPUs

#

is it worth buying 2 at 1.8m market price?

umbral spire
#

Hey can someone help pls im new to the game, when i press Left ALT to hold breath it makes a click sound and my gun swivels as if i pressed something on my gun, when in settings it says Left ALT is to hold breath? so i don't understand haha

normal frost
#

where can i find a sherpa for a dude ik

normal frost
craggy sapphire
#

My man just got three moonshines in one saferooms dude

dire eagle
# shy canyon is it worth buying 2 at 1.8m market price?

Not really. It would only save you 101 minutes per bitcoin (22h 54min -> 21h 13min). You'd be better off spending the roubles on the crafting materials for gpus, and spending the rest on equipment, quests etc, or even fuel if you're completely out.

shy canyon
#

@dire eagle i see, then how does the price get so high? why do people buy them at 1.8m?

dire eagle
dire eagle
shy canyon
#

i see

dire eagle
#

So, if you are swimming in cash, and aren't struggling to get by, then by all means, boost your bitcoin farm, as it'll make your money back

shy canyon
#

nah i only have 4m

dire eagle
#

If you buy all the parts for a gpu, it 'only' costs ~930k. Less than that if you can get parts cheaper, and craft the vpx's and circuit boards.

#

The reason cards are marked up so high, is just their rarity + time/cost to craft, on top of the very high demand for bitcoin

shy canyon
#

Funny that it’s also like that irl, lol

dire eagle
#

hehe, mining is quite the curse

shy canyon
#

I was gonna replace my GPU but luckily I was able to fix my tech issues. Too bad we can’t craft them irl!

dire eagle
#

just tape some components together and pray

celest sage
#

Don’t forget that the pc won’t boot without a blood sacrifice

dire eagle
#

that explains the marked rooms

plush slate
#

any tips on doing stirrunp been stuck on it all night

dire eagle
#

I went to factory with cheap builds doing some other quests, eventually getting the kills for that one

#

Its not a quest you 'have' to focus on, as it doesn't lead to anything though

plush slate
#

thats what i been doing i just cant get my last 2 kills

dire eagle
#

Only thing I can think of to increase your odds of success, is to wait until you can buy SS190 ammo from Peacekeeper lvl3 and use the Fiveseven, or use the full auto glock with RIP ammo (legmeta), or perhaps 7N31 ammo.

#

And also going in fully geared in terms of armor. Obviously this is way more expensive, but might give you more success.
Personally, I'd just run pistol loadouts while doing some other tasks and complete Stirrup naturally.

plush slate
#

ok thanks ill just keep at it then

bold kernel
#

So I just got the game, died like 5 times in a row and lost everything, how do I play this game

bold kernel

#

just one scav ak

plush slate
#

is ur current scav up

bold kernel
#

ye

#

it just got up

plush slate
#

then run that

bold kernel

ive been doing customs

#

but extraction points are the hardest

plush slate

witch ones are you trying to go to

bold kernel

i just need to learn my extractions

but the issue is i do not know where it is because it shows up in question marks

plush slate
#

are you able to have a map on a second monitor or something

bold kernel
#

i have my phone next to me

plush slate
#

so i will send you a link to a website it has all of the maps with all of there extractions loot scav spawns and loot drops it works really well for me

dire eagle
#

im lvl 26 and still use maps to figure out where I am, though its just shorline and reserve at this point im not used to.

dire eagle
#

Doing scav runs is also a free way of getting "live training" on a map, while also gaining loot should you survive.

bold kernel
#

That sounds like a good idea

#

practicing my aim with the bots

#

I hadn't thought of that

dire eagle
#

You can also adjust their difficulty. Turning on bosses allows you to fight the hardest AIs, as they can sometimes be very brutal (and learn where they spawn so you can avoid them)

bold kernel
#

how do I get into the modification menu

#

for a weapon

dire eagle
#

right click, edit preset

#

if you want to only get mods that you have in your stash, its right click -> modding, I believe. Though Edit Preset is ideal, as you can mod a weapon completely freely, then mass-buy the components from the flea

#

Though, only components that you have examined show up there. I've been "tricked" by that before, wondering why something didn't show up

I dont have the bonus

to access the modding menu

#

how do I get that

plush slate
#

you have to bulid the workshop in your hideout

bold kernel
#

should I invest in my hideout heavily before I buy any sort of gear

plush slate
#

invest when you see fit soemtimes its easier crafting items you need rather then trying to find them

dire eagle
#

the hideout is pretty crucial, but reaching lvl 10 is top priority if you aren't yet, as the Flea Market is a huge gain

@low rose but its 7 from start of raid i think

if you killed a guy and touched his body that's enough xp to get out right away

crisp nest

you need 200xp or 7 minutes

Ah I see. So it’s not that your char has to be in for 7 mins, it has to be more than 7 mins after the raid timer kicked off?

@low rose 99% sure

#

@mortal pendant I just tried it mate

#

I think it's just the sight being zeroed for 50 m and you trying to use it at 10m

mortal pendant

50m zero at that range should mean it goes low, not high

thats just isnt how it works

mortal pendant
balmy vault
#

zeroing is to correct for bullet drop

mortal pendant
#

yup

balmy vault
#

so why would it shoot lower then ur aiming

mortal pendant
#

because default zero is 50m, and you can't lower it

balmy vault
#

yea

#

its zeroed to hit perfectly at 50 m

#

u are shooting it at 10 m

#

so its going to be going hihg

#

high

mortal pendant
#

correct, so that means if you're at 5m like me, the shot should be lower, not higher

balmy vault
#

what?

mortal pendant
#

... when you're compensating for bullet drop you aim higher, right?

balmy vault
#

YES

#

so its aiming higher

#

not lower

mortal pendant
#

but the SHOT is going higher, not lower

#

for sure it's bugged brah

#

just tried with PK-06

#

perfect zero

bold kernel
#

hmm yeah I was wrong

balmy vault
#

pk06 has lower zero

bold kernel

pk06 is expensive ;-;

shot on left is 50m zero, shot(s) on right are 25m

junior pecan

then pull down your mouse while you shoot to counter balance

I'm telling you, weaver and xps3-0 the shots are way higher than just zeroing

#

I haven't tested others yet

im testing it now

higher shot is where I was aiming, second target

but with the 3rd one it's dead on

mortal pendant
#

just tried with DT MDR 5.56, tried with Eotech 553, XPS3-0, Weaver, and PK-06

#

all results are what I expected

#

super slightly below for first 3 because of 50m zero, PK-06 basically dead on

#

will try with M4 and HK next

bold kernel
mortal pendant
#

no was testing in customs the same spot as with my MP5SD to not add additional variables

#

but I'll try in shooting range

bold kernel
#

weaver is dead on with the 3rd target

#

or not

#

maybe 1 cm below

#

m4 and 416 are exactly the same

#

MP5SD is bugged with those sights, nice...

that sucks, don't feel like running a 65k PK-06 for my goofing around gun

it do be like that

#

Always assume his buddy is there

#

Best tactic is to go trough a different area

#

They'll never find you

Ah well

Anyway always assume there's a camper in every building/place

#

Because it ain't a lie

#

Anyone knows where gluhart guards can go if you start shooting at them in black pawn

Another guard was there but he disappeared

Probably died, if you saw your ping hit 800 you would have seent he time running out

#

I'd be seriously worried if it took you 10 minutes to reconnect
