I spawned at Crane on Shoreline and have been waiting in a bush
35 minutes left and no scavs

drifting jolt
#

it's based on how many remain in an area

#

and is seemingly random as far as when they'll spawn

bold kernel
#

Hopefully I find some at gas station

drifting jolt
#

crane is only a max of 2 anyways

#

go to radar station

#

2-4 spawn there after raid has started

bold kernel
#

gas is dead too

#

wtf

trim aspen
#

When I was looting the customs new gas station as scav, the AI scav started shooting at me. Is looting stuff around them brands me a traitor? Or might something else happened back then?

can pmc's go through factory gate?

#

Last time I tried it didn't let me it said I needed a xcav

bold kernel
#

i saw some videos where they pickup cases from the ground can i grab some cases too ?

#

like weapon cases

#

in marked rooms and special loot places yeah

drifting jolt
#

and it's not guaranteed anything will even be in the room

bold kernel
#

oh

drifting jolt
#

and they're in high trafficked areas

bold kernel
#

oh its you again

#

hey thanks for help

drifting jolt
#

im always around 🙂

#

and no problem

bold kernel
#

you helped me alot

drifting jolt
#

hows it going for you?

bold kernel
#

i got my first chad kill :D

drifting jolt
#

fantastic!

#

feels good doesnt it?

bold kernel
#

it feels great

#

i used almost whole medkit

#

that feels good too

drifting jolt
#

as you get better, you'll use a lot more meds then you currently use

#

bc you'll be fighting more often

bold kernel
drifting jolt
#

i take in a minimum of 2 IFAKs every raid

bold kernel
#

well i grab the yellow medkit + car medkit

bold kernel
#

oh

drifting jolt
#

@bold kernel so close, yet so far lol

bold kernel
#

i had the red thing

#

esmarch

#

or something like that

drifting jolt
#

@bold kernel you generally want to always take a hemostat, and at least 1 IFAK/salewa... you dont want to cure heavy bleeds with your heals, bc it eats up a bunch of the HP... to fix a heavy bleed with an IFAK costs 210 hp

bold kernel
#

wait whaat

drifting jolt
#

and that does not include the HP you need to heal with... so if your arm is hurt 30, and it has a heavy bleed, then that's 240 HP just to heal and cure the heavy bleed

#

with an IFAK

bold kernel
#

thats alot

drifting jolt
#

exactly

#

so get hemostats from therapist, or flea, or craft

#

can cure 3 heavy bleeds

#

or take 2 or 3 esmarchs

bold kernel
#

well iam not in combat alot

#

so one esmarch is good for me

drifting jolt
#

true, but as you get better you will be getting into more combat

bold kernel
#

yea..

drifting jolt
#

better to take TOO much than not enough

bold kernel
#

yea that true

#

i got beta pouch

#

so happy :D

drifting jolt
#

that helps a lot

#

if you dont take keys, i suggest putting a propitol stim in your beta when you know youre going to high traffic areas

#

it's pain killer AND gives you health regeneration

#

also, all stims only take 2 seconds to use

#

so if you get shot up a lot, and are bleeding, you use the propitol

#

and even if youre bleeding while you run away, your health is regenerating

#

so it gives you time to retreat til you can heal yourself back up

bold kernel
#

yea also

#

what should i sell to prapor

#

and skier

drifting jolt
#

@bold kernel shit ammo to prapor, and basic gun mods to skier

#

skier also buys some wearables, like sunglasses and hats i believe

bold kernel
#

oh ok

#

is ps ammo shit?

drifting jolt
#

762?

bold kernel
#

ye

drifting jolt
#

i mean... it's not terrible, but it's definitely not great

#

762x39 is only like 6 different bullets... BP is best, then PS

bold kernel
#

yea i use bt bs bp

drifting jolt
#

for lower levels PS will work, but BP is better

#

if it's the 545, then PS is shit

bold kernel
#

oh

drifting jolt
#

did i link you the bullet guide?

bold kernel
#

yea

#

@bold kernel what level are you

#

12

drifting jolt
#

@bold kernel if your ammo doesnt reliably penetrate level 4 armor, then it's not great

bold kernel
#

Ah

drifting jolt
#

@bold kernel but remember, you can still use shit ammo if youre good at headshots

#

but helmets will still eat shit ammo

bold kernel
#

yea like who uses rip ammo

drifting jolt
#

so yeah that's actually great ammo

bold kernel
#

wait what?

drifting jolt
#

BUT... you have to aim for legs... you'll see people say 'leg meta'

bold kernel
#

it doesnt have penetration

drifting jolt
#

that's what they mean

bold kernel
#

well my idea was

drifting jolt
#

it actually has a super high flesh damage, and can break limbs faster than other ammos

bold kernel
#

that i would load 3 armor penetration ammo and 1 rip bullet

drifting jolt
#

me personally, I dont like leg meta, bc the legs arent always an option to shoot at

unkempt yoke
#

anything wrong with this for gunsmith part 14

drifting jolt
#

but if you look at their stats, when you double click...

#

20%+ to cause heavy heavy bleeding, and 30%+ to cause light bleeds

bold kernel
#

wow

drifting jolt
#

so they can shred players, since you dont have leg armor

#

but, you obviously have to shoot at the legs

#

otherwise, they just bounce off armor

bold kernel
#

well its kinda stupid you shot him in the legs but he shot you twice in the head boom you are dead

drifting jolt
drifting jolt
#

and they also do a ton more flesh damage

unkempt yoke
#

i did every thing the wiki said but i can't turn it in

bold kernel
#

watch tutorial

#

maybe it will make a diffrence

drifting jolt
#
bold kernel
#

yea exactly

#

i did every gunsmith thanks to this guide

#

i mean every gunsmith

#

part 1 , 2 and 3

drifting jolt
#

@bold kernel so yeah, some people like leg meta bullets, but they're not my style, cause I always aim for head, so using bullets that make me have to aim for legs is kinda weird

bold kernel
#

yea

#

it is weird

#

but if they dont have armor

drifting jolt
#

but they are effective

bold kernel
#

so hatchling

drifting jolt
#

oh they'll rip hatchlings to shreds

bold kernel
#

they dont have a chance

#

xd

#

yea

drifting jolt
#

you can leg meta **killa or another boss too

#

but still... makes me aim low, when i usually aim high

bold kernel
#

yea its kinda weird

#

like i always aim for the head

drifting jolt
#

cause when you black out a limb, the damage gets transferred to other places of the body

#

and since they do high flesh damage, after the legs are blacked, that damage gets spread to the rest of their body

#

so 2 RIP rounds will black a leg and transfer damage all over

#

but even still, not my style

bold kernel
#

i remember

#

i was doing the quest for the skier

#

where you have to find the document

#

in customs

#

me and my friends were running towards the exit

#

we were almost there

#

and then a fucking player scav one shoted both of us

#

when we were full geared

#

it made me sooo sad :(

drifting jolt
#

made him happy though lol

bold kernel
#

yea -.-

drifting jolt
#

@bold kernel have you messed much with shotguns?

bold kernel
#

no no NO

drifting jolt
#

D:

#

@bold kernel do you go for headshots most times?

unkempt yoke
#

k the stealth grey looked like a black one

drifting jolt
#

@unkempt yoke at least you figured it out

bold kernel
#

yea thats why i killed the chad

#

a few round to the head

drifting jolt
#

@bold kernel get a 153, put the extended 8 round tube on it, and put ap20 slugs in it

bold kernel
#

boom chad dead

drifting jolt
#

my 153 gun skill is higher than any other gun in the game

#

i run shotguns too much lol

bold kernel
#

well i have bad memories for shotguns

drifting jolt
#

this game is the only FPS to get shotguns right

bold kernel
#

ever tried xm1014 in csgo?

#

that thing is so op

#

i clutched 1v5 with that

drifting jolt
#

lol, i do like that gun, but i preferred the pump 🙂

#

i like a challenge

bold kernel
#

yea me too

drifting jolt
#

that's why i go for headshots, cause too much cs source lol

bold kernel
#

i was buying the sawed off

drifting jolt
bold kernel
#

wtf how

drifting jolt
#

center mass buckshot bro

#

wrecks less armored players/scavs

bold kernel
#

yo train just honked in reserve

#

when do i go

drifting jolt
#

1st was AI, 2nd and 3rd were player scavs

drifting jolt
bold kernel
#

oh

drifting jolt
#

7

bold kernel
#

1 minute ok

#

7minutes?

drifting jolt
#

#

bold kernel
#

drifting jolt
#

@bold kernel this one was with shit scav slugs... but was a headshot

bold kernel
#

i bugged on that map and couldnt escape i was so sad

#

bold kernel
#

well one guy helped me alot

#

very nice guy

chrome atlas
#

drifting jolt
bold kernel
#

modest pagoda
bold kernel
#

drifting jolt
#

bold kernel
#

drifting jolt
#

drifting jolt
#

bold kernel
#

KEKW republic

drifting jolt
#

oof, maybe if we both chose england servers

bold kernel
#

england

#

bri'ish?

drifting jolt
#

yeah, i can play on england servers

bold kernel
#

idk if i can

drifting jolt
#

im not, i just am in a clan with a bunch of brits

bold kernel
#

drifting jolt
#

oddly, i can generally play on german servers too for some reason

#

my ping is usually decent on german servers in games i play

bold kernel
#

well in hunt showdown

drifting jolt

bold kernel
#

drifting jolt

bold kernel
#

xd just kidding

drifting jolt
#

bold kernel
#

i havee 56 ping in london

drifting jolt
bold kernel
#

thats all your clips?

ornate steppe
#

whenever I play scav I always get shot by other player scavs should I just shoot all scavs on sight?

drifting jolt
undone yew
drifting jolt
#

player scavs dont give a fuck

bold kernel
drifting jolt
#

nah... shoot all the moving things... always lol

bold kernel
#

or i dont shoot weird moving scavs

drifting jolt
#

unless they wiggle first

bold kernel
#

yea scav saved his live

drifting jolt
#

@bold kernel i clip using xbox gamebar, then upload the clip

bold kernel
#

cuz he wiggled

undone yew
#

i prefer not to shoot regular scavs so i can creep up on raiders more easily without regular scav shouting at me

drifting jolt
#

cause raiders kill AI scavs too

undone yew
bold kernel
#

wait raider is different then scav?

undone yew
#

Its a seperate facteion

drifting jolt
#

raiders are bigger badder scavs

undone yew
#

raiders are just upgraded scavs

bold kernel
#

oooo spoookyy

drifting jolt
#

'smarter' technically

#

and will see you from farther away

undone yew
#

and laser you with any gun

bold kernel
#

will they shoot me?

drifting jolt
#

^

calm prism
#

Yea, they 180 no scope you if you shoot one

drifting jolt
#

watch this dumb raider flash his buddy

ornate steppe
#

how do I tell the difference

undone yew
#

raiders are basically sort of similar to scav boss guards

drifting jolt
#

@ornate steppe the gear, and they typically wear the tan or black baseball caps

#

unless they have a helmet

#

but they wear military clothing too

undone yew
drifting jolt
#

not shitty scav clothes

bold kernel
#

heeey

undone yew
#

and they move in groups of 3 to 4 usually

drifting jolt
#

^

bold kernel
#

dont talk about scavs like that

drifting jolt
#

lol

bold kernel
#

they have a nice drip

drifting jolt
#

i exclusively scav on Reserve, for the sole reason of farming the raiders

calm prism
#

Yea scavs got drip

#

Yea me too

#

But sometimes interchange

undone yew
#

raiders have got mad drip

calm prism
#

Insane drip bro

small cairn
#

Lol just did someone dirty, he was on top of white horse and I was at the bottom of dome, he got one tapped by a random ironsight FIR weapon 7290_SataniaLaugh

calm prism

drifting jolt
#

they kept dicking around at dome, so i had to show them what's up lol

bold kernel
undone yew
#

my only SBIH map that i have left is woods and i hate that map

small cairn
#

yup

#

and it counted for SBiH too HyperWAH

drifting jolt
#

@undone yew woods is sexy af if you like sniping, but i love sniping sooo

#

DVL all day baby

undone yew
#

Its literally just bush

drifting jolt
#

quietest sniper in the game

undone yew
#

Yesterday i shot someone in the tin 3 times all ricochets

#

with snb

#

1 in 8 million chance

#

for that to happen

drifting jolt
#

@undone yew run 7n1... not SNB

undone yew
#

snb has higher pen for helmets

drifting jolt
#

7n1 one taps chests if it pens

undone yew
#

im going for sbih

#

not chest

drifting jolt
#

i got all mine with 7n1 lol

#

no sir ree lol

undone yew
#

i also ricochets off an altyn with m80 on reserve

drifting jolt
#

m80 is shit, m61

undone yew
#

m80 works

#

i still murder people

small cairn
drifting jolt
#

i refuse to cheap out on ammo

#

ill take a gun with shit stats before i take lesser ammos

undone yew
#

m80 is still 40+ pen

drifting jolt
#

but will bounce off an altyn...

#

m61 wont like 90%+ of the time

undone yew
#

how many altyns do i see though

#

not that many

drifting jolt
#

if youre sniping, you're not going to be shooting that many bullets very quickly

#

silly to handicap yourself with shittier rounds

undone yew
#

im not sniping with m80

#

tx-15dml with m855a1

drifting jolt
#

face palm we're going in circles now lolz

undone yew
#

i stopped using m80 after the altyn bounced off my bullet

#

on sbih

reef prairie
#

yeah

drifting jolt
#

but on rare occasion they seem to still spawn at daytime

#

but it's a really rare occurence

reef prairie
drifting jolt
#

just unlucky bro... dont know if it's a known bug or just something that happens

#

but it's a rarity

reef prairie
#

great, and im poisoned

#

at least i know where the silent hit with almost no damage came from PrapKEK

drifting jolt
#

@reef prairie yeah, just bad luck bruh... cause youre only the 3rd or 4th person to mention this that ive seen since cultists were introduced

idk

#

but splint isnt that much expensive

#

lmao ik but I need a tremor

quaint quarry
#

thats a fracture though

bold kernel
bold kernel
#

it appears like it

quaint quarry
#

From what that task says I would assume so

ornate steppe
#

should I sell a fuel tank?

#

or is it needed for something

quaint quarry
#

keep it for your hideout, its very useful

ornate steppe
#

ok ty

cunning juniper
#

you will have to buy a splint and heal the other fractures

#

also, once the tremor starts use a painkiller or something equivalent so you don't get the blurred vision

bold kernel
#

fuck 54 seconds is a long time on factory

#

what is good ammo for the ak74m?

solar mural
#

Does anybody have a medium priced setup preferably an m4 or ak74m (included rig, armor, helmet, and a decent bag) that will let me have at least a fighting chance. Was using the ak74m with igolnik but the price of that ammo isnt extremely sustainable for me right now

zinc fiber
ornate steppe
#

ye

#

are the PS rounds good?

zinc fiber
#

no

#

7n39, BS, BT

#

from best to good

signal girder
#

BT is only just acceptable

cunning juniper
#

i use bt cuz i'm poor

#

and i'm just running through quests

zinc fiber
#

BT still give you a fighting chance at least

cunning juniper
#

just gotta aim head

acoustic raven
#

Anyone dowm for a couple raids im lvl8

signal girder
cunning juniper
#

m856a1 is about 700/round right now and bt is about 300

fading violet
#

Load 10 rounds of BS/Igolnik and fill rest of the mag with BT is what I do

cunning juniper
#

m4 will def give you higher chance of survival though

solar mural
#

And what armor/helmet/rig is good valuev

small cairn
#

At what % durability is an armor still fine? Missing 10%? 20?

#

as in when is it worth repairing

solar mural
#

Ive been using a trooper with a blackrock rig and a pilgrim bag

fading violet
#

Trooper is good tier 4 armor

cunning juniper
#

with my poor ass i just run the level 4 armors

fading violet
#

I wouldnt wear the pilgrim, it's way too big

ornate steppe
#

how do I turn in quest items

fading violet
#

Go to that task and turn it in and hit complete

cunning juniper
#

i run the 6b3tm armor because it's half the price of trooper

#

but also half the dura

fading violet
#

6b3t will only stop like 1-2 bullets

small cairn
cunning juniper
#

also depends what you're trying to do. when i'm questing i try to avoid pmcs and it's good enough so scavs don't 1 shot you with vepr

#

but iono i'm new so i don't think that's the right way to play

acoustic raven
azure shoal
#

is warmage a good ammo type?
I found it in a stash

cunning juniper
#

azure shoal
#

good toknow, I'll sell it

warmage is the best if no one is wearing armor lol

#

it has the worse armor pen of the 5.56

Lmfao, traded kills with this dude

I killed a decently fat two man

limber notch
#

So im thinking of building bitcoin farm as soon as I get lvl 20, would I be able to profit from leaving generator on permanently?

unreal horizon
#

yes

#

once you get jaeger 2 (which you need anyway) you get metal fuel for 150k (24 hours)

#

so very profitable

limber notch
#

Alright thanks

unreal horizon
#

np enjoy

cunning juniper
#

hmm so it's worth buying the parts for the bitcoin farm then damn? i'm 30 and havent even started my bitcoin

slow linden
unreal horizon
#

everyone should rush it imo

cunning juniper
#

it's so hard to get gpus though, die so much in interchange

unreal horizon
#

yes it takes some 50 days to pay off but it doesnt feel that way since you get consistent, free money every day

slow linden
#

I just don't get it cause I do mainly money runs

#

if I got a BTC farm I would basically stop playing

cunning juniper
#

i'm not good enough to do money runs damn lol.

bold kernel
#

what do you guys think

#

is it worth it ?

slow linden
#

lmao

cunning juniper
#

i just use the wiki

#

lol

bold kernel
#

yea my game starts to lag

#

when google is opened

#

so this is my sort of solution

cunning juniper
#

then def worth it

ornate steppe
#

from which trader do I buy the g18

cunning juniper
#

mechanic

#

cheaper on flee though

#

25k right now on flea but mechanic is 37k

wicked pagoda
#

anyone knows what is the best map to get nighttime kills ?

cunning juniper
#

scavs?

wicked pagoda
#

pmc kills nighttime task

cunning juniper
#

factory flashlight?

wicked pagoda
#

everyone says it is sooo bad and you will die like 200 times etc

#

not sure if it is true or not

cunning juniper
#

probably fastest

unreal horizon
#

it's a guarantee of seeing people

#

if you're feeling good taking fights go for factory

cunning juniper
#

not sure about nighttime but you get alot of raids where you spawn with other no gear people

wicked pagoda
#

is it better to go altyn tier 6 armor or like naked with shotgun or something ?

cunning juniper
#

def wouldn't do tier 6 armor if you aren't confident in getting kills

#

i actually did my 6 kill with pm pistol

pine needle
#

anyone else buy tier 6 armor and never use it cause you get scared of losing it

cunning juniper
#

i got a few free ks out of it

cunning juniper
pine needle
#

yea was dumb of me to buy it i just buy t4 and get t5 from raiders

cunning juniper
#

if you have alot of money then don't see reason not to but i'm sitting at around 5mill because of tasks and hideout

#

so t6 would be like half a mill

pine needle
#

i bought it because they day before they nerfed tetris i learned that i can hatchet run interhcange to get moeny but they changed it

cunning juniper
#

t4 and 5.45 bt ammo for now

pine needle
#

yea

#

scav runs op on reserve kill raiders or catch a chad lackin

cunning juniper
#

i've just been questing to try and hit 40 then i'll do those chad runs

quaint quarry
#

hatchet running caches on interchange lowkey useful

bronze ice
#

Personally, I'd recommend investing in gear according to your skill that day/overall

cunning juniper
#

why not just run backpack with sks shoreline for cache? i rarely run into people

bronze ice
#

It's rng based, just like everything else in tarkov

cunning juniper
#

i get like 300-400k per run on shoreline but the labor is intensive on selling

bronze ice
#

There is a chance a PMC that knows all spawns will spawn next to you

#

And will cut you off

fading violet
#

Stash runs are fine but they take too long and are kinda boring

#

I would rather just take a scav to shoreline and go check for dead pmcs in resort

cunning juniper
#

yeah i actually spawned in next to 2 chads one day and happened to run bp ammo killed both but died to desync on second pmc at spawn

bronze ice
#

Yeah, the server lag is ridiculous lately, it's as bad as it was 2-3 wipes ago

#

Server skipping entire bursts

cunning juniper
#

but what i've noticed on shoreline is most of the time everyoe is rushing resort

bronze ice
#

Yup

cunning juniper
#

shoreline is what ive ran the most so far and it has the least risk to reward

#

for cache

bronze ice
#

Shoreline was my main map, until the woods got expanded

cunning juniper
#

there have been runs where i died like 3-4 times in a row but my survival rate was >50% when i was just doing shoreline

#

i'm down to 45% now because i'm actually doing tasks

bold kernel
#

Alright, so what map should I run as a level 5?

cunning juniper
#

i ran mostly customs to 10 but i died a shit ton it's easiest map to learn but hard to survive

heavy laurel
#

yeah the spawns on customs are fucked

bold kernel
#

I know a bit of customs but I can never find land marks

cunning juniper
#

when you get back spawns just lay low for 5-10 minutes

heavy laurel
#

so many people always spawning right next to you ^^

bronze ice
#

@bold kernel Just do tasks, mainly prapor

cunning juniper
#

when i first started i used to stay at my spawn in customs till like 15 minute mark lol

signal girder
#

5mins should be more than enough

bold kernel
heavy laurel
#

i like to scav on customs, looting all the stashes... dont have to deal with the spawns as a scav ^^

#

and you easily get 8-9 stashes that noone ever loots this late in wipe

bronze ice
#

Yeah, scav runs are probably good when starting out

bold kernel
#

Scav on customs gives you like 10 mins to run across the map

cunning juniper
#

reserve scav is best imo

heavy laurel
#

yeah thats enough

#

10 min is enough to grab all the hidden stashes and get out

cunning juniper
#

almost any building has decent loot in reserve

bronze ice
#

@bold kernel You just need to learn the game at your own pace, either by figuring it out yourself or checking guides and then get to level 10 ASAP

cunning juniper
#

funny because reserve is my least played map

#

yeah i started back in february and never thought i'd learn the map but you have to just keep playing and learning the map. always have the map open

#

i can comfortably run all maps except reserve now

heavy laurel
#

yeah i never really played reserve, always get lost as all heck on there as a scav ^^ i can navigate just fine on any other map

cunning juniper
#

oh yeah and half of my played time is off-line

#

so that probably helped as well

heavy laurel
#

yeah offline is good to learn maps

cunning juniper
#

i'll use maps to locate caches and remember landmarks

#

not the strimmer lol

bronze ice
#

I'm unsure about offline this wipe

cunning juniper
#

maps and offline help you learn where the scavs are as well

bronze ice
#

I'd usually recommend it to new players, to learn how scav AI works, but now that their AI is changed, there probably isn't any point

cunning juniper
#

also helps you with aiming

bronze ice
#

You can just run scav runs/eco runs tho

cunning juniper
#

it's still good. this is my first wipe and it helped me get used to aiming and shooting and leading against scavs

#

and pmcs

ornate steppe
#

what ammo should i use for the sks

cunning juniper
#

depends on how much money you have

#

bp is pretty expensive if you're new

signal girder
cunning juniper
#

i used ps until i was like 15-20ish

#

ps is easy to get because it's what scavs get

nimble sinew
#

can anyone help me with some scav raids on customs 🙂

unreal horizon
signal girder
cunning juniper
#

yeah bp is going for 1k+ right now so it's in the semi baller range

nimble sinew
#

@signal girder North America

bronze ice
#

PS 2/3 and BP 1/3 of the mag

cunning juniper
#

i need to remember to do that

bronze ice
#

7.62x39 isn't really a great caliber overall tho IMO

#

So I wouldn't recommend it after you hit level 10

unreal horizon
#

True but before lv 10 it's about the best you can do

bronze ice
#

Yup

elfin trail
#

Is there really that much a difference?

bronze ice
#

Yes

cunning juniper
#

yeah the pen is low

elfin trail
#

Lvl 27 right now, and I've not even taken a single M4 or HK in-game.
Been sticking to AK 5.45x39 or 7.62x39

bronze ice
#

Significantly more recoil, while taking a few more shots to down someone

elfin trail
#

Usually BS on the first and 7.62 on the other.

bronze ice
#

5.45 is eco meta IMO

cunning juniper
#

yeah i'm running mainly bt and it's been giving me a fighting chance but i'll start to run 1/3 mag bs/7n39 and rest bt

forest umbra
#

MP5 rip rounds are so good

elfin trail
#

Judging by this, I'd say the difference is really slim tbh.. And I'd say BP is better unless you're up against armor class 5. No?

bronze ice
#

BT is pretty terrible at this point in the wipe

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.

i cant afford that

9mm isn't viable for eco runs this wipe at all IMO

signal girder

#

that's what i mean i can use non cheap rounds but it just isn't sustainable

elfin trail
#

Allright, I'll try and swap out my found in raid AK mentality

#

Shift towards mid tier M4 builds, see how I like it

bronze ice
#

Eh, I don't really ever run 556, so it's not the only option 🙂

#

I run the "B tier" guns according to some people 👀

cunning juniper
#

you gotta weigh risk reward

#

if you are a god tier gamer then i'd just go all out on spending

bronze ice
#

Yep, that's one way to play 😉

cunning juniper
#

if you are average gamer like alot of us maybe chill on spending until you get better or used to the game

bronze ice
cunning juniper
#

yeah, i've gotten myself to start taking bt ammo to kill scavs now lol

slow tangle
#

is the zsh-1-2m helmet any good?

bronze ice
#

IMO - no, since you can't use headphones

cunning juniper
#

i hear helmets in general are garbage by some

#

this late in wipe

bronze ice
#

It's an old meme, but it checks out

cunning juniper
#

you are going to get one tap

unreal horizon
#

yeah you're just banking on ricochet chance

cunning juniper
#

yeah so i see some people run shatter masks

bronze ice
#

Yeah, noticed that too this week

unreal horizon
#

imo better than a helmet

bronze ice
#

I assume it's for the endgame

#

AKA fashion

cunning juniper
#

i still buy the ssh helmet and it's the one guaranteed item that i get back from insurance undamaged

#

lol

bronze ice
#

Helmets fall into the personal preference / no wrong way to play category IMO

shell sable
# bronze ice AKA fashion

yes and no, Shatter mask has a high ricochet chance and covers your entire face, ive tanked a m995 and AP SX to the face with it. like it wont help anything 9 out of 10 times but its only 27k sooo

bronze ice
#

Shatter can ricochet? 🥵

shell sable
#

yupp

cunning juniper
#

yeah

#

that's why people running them

shell sable
#

thats why a lot of people use it

#

it can also tank some shotgun shells

#

which is nice

bronze ice
#

I was starting to think ricochet is not implemented

Haven't had anyone survive a headshot with a helmet yet 😮

cosmic tinsel
