[chrome raptor]

i got 10 tetriz

[cosmic tinsel]

its effectively removed from the game

[chrome raptor]

they like 100k on flea rn

[vocal parcel]

just flea them

unless you wanna waste your time

[chrome raptor]

only 2 found in raid

[strong barn]

to therapist you get 75k with no tax

[cosmic tinsel]

^

[strong barn]

im just therapisting my tetriz now

[cosmic tinsel]

i keep tellin people to vendor tetriz and to still be happy about em

[chrome raptor]

ima keep some just in case

[strong barn]

its still like

more than mili filter

[strong barn]

this but no one ever happy ;(

[cosmic tinsel]

yep. i wont start it again but yep AF

[chrome raptor]

is there any reserve map with loot spawns?

like aesa and stuff

[vocal parcel]

whats the normal overall stash value for a lvl 18

Where should I be around

[pine needle]

at least 10m

[cosmic tinsel]

mostly youtube loot route videos

[strong barn]

if i had to stick a number on it; cause everyones different
Idk like 1m-5m @vocal parcel

[vocal parcel]

aight. I got 8.5mil rn

[strong barn]

well within range

[vocal parcel]

yeah ik

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, i wouldnt worry too much about specifics

[signal girder]

loading up reserve. where is the good shit?

[strong barn]

^ meevo is smart man listen to him

[cosmic tinsel]

as long as you're able to sustain the kind of kits your running

[signal girder]

i dont usually do reserve

[chrome raptor]

black pawn

[cosmic tinsel]

you have the right amount of cash

[strong barn]

I lurk often and meevo is on point

[chrome raptor]

and king

[signal girder]

k ty

[pine needle]

and raider looot nice

[cosmic tinsel]

thx king

[strong barn]

love u dad

[vocal parcel]

Im running a tv rig and a ulach with a rfb and an attack 2 most runs lol. I havent died yet luckily

its too heavy for me tho. I can barely carry any loot

[chrome raptor]

rfb trash

dont use

[golden loom]

so i was moving something and its doing the flasing thing but thats the only item that is doing it

usually it stops after a second but its still going

[cosmic tinsel]

thats pretty solid, and you should run what you love. I will note that I don't think ulach is worth the money much (i run ratnik), and that the RFB is short for "really fucking bad", but it does shoot good bullets

[eternal heath]

why does peacekeeper like to torture me with shoreline

[pine needle]

restart came

[chrome raptor]

shoreline best

[eternal heath]

ew no

[cosmic tinsel]

the RFB specifically has just a lot of recoil and terrible mounts. I prefer the vepr hunter or FAL

[unborn compass]

fr shoreline is hard

[signal girder]

lol, sv98 with valday in a tower. time to be a rat

[eternal heath]

the quests are ez

i havent died

but i hate shoreline

like why shoreline out of all maps

[pine needle]

@signal girder on reserve?

[signal girder]

yeah as a scav

[golden loom]

whats your problem with shoreline?

[cosmic tinsel]

its ok to prefer different maps. im a shoreline main because i like the ability to play the terrain and choose your own action level

[eternal heath]

the fact that its shoreline

[pine needle]

your gonna get doomed i always scope those out

[signal girder]

actually

[vocal parcel]

Im running m80/m61 most times. Ive gotten the m61 from other players and it wasnt fir

[pine needle]

dont pick obvious spots to snipe

[golden loom]

i mean resort can be a little scary at times

[signal girder]

I'm basically new to reserve. Would anyone be willing to guide me?

[eternal heath]

yeah

[rough hollow]

my experience with shoreline is that you are rarely choosing your action level, you tend to just get sniped

[golden loom]

but it does have great loot even outside the resort still

[pine needle]

ill run it with u but im no pro

[signal girder]

then again, my upload is shit for streaming

[chrome raptor]

not for me

shoreline so good

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah dude - absolutely run what you like to run. if the RFB is working for you, keep it rolling. I just wanted to let you know that there may be options that shoot the same ammo that are less recoily

[chrome raptor]

just bring good gear

and good spawn

and ez ledx

[cosmic tinsel]

ez ledx in resort just kill the chads 4head

[vocal parcel]

yeah ik. I could run the m1a or something, but I'm gonna just run this kit until I die with it

[cosmic tinsel]

perfect. I also love the TV rig you got, but it is heavy as heck

[chrome raptor]

if u get good spawn u have like 30s to loot before pvp

[golden loom]

idk what yall are on

[vocal parcel]

yeah lol, I'm strength 4 so I can barely hold a second gun

[golden loom]

cause there have been multiple times i have had resort all alone

like 0 shots anywhere

[signal girder]

Ok, I guess I'm just gonna have to learn reserve dry dog

[chrome raptor]

same

[golden loom]

during the daytime aswell

[cosmic tinsel]

it can go either way, pie. ive done a TON of resort lately, and i really enjoy it

[pine needle]

@signal girder ill play reserve if you want

[signal girder]

hole in the fence needs no backpack, right?

[strong barn]

like reverse psychology
everyone assumes a big fight will happen in the resort so everyone leaves it alone so your by yourself LOL

[pine needle]

ya

[signal girder]

Nah im on it right now. I just need someone to tell me wtf to do

[golden loom]

yeah its really nice when it happens cause the loot there is insane

[pine needle]

steam then?

[golden loom]

so many ledx gpu and keycard spawns

[cosmic tinsel]

poke around. figure out where marked rooms are, where drop down is, where the server rooms in king are

[signal girder]

I'll try. My upload tends to be shit

LFG reserve 15, I'll be in there

[strong barn]

ILOVEYOU CALLED IT KING

I REEEEEE WHEN PEOPLE CALL IT QUEEN

[cosmic tinsel]

lol queen is on the hill

[eternal heath]

queen is dome right?

[cosmic tinsel]

she big dome

love dome from my queen

[vocal parcel]

yeah

[strong barn]

PRAPORS MISSION SAYS SOO I LOVE YOU DAD

[cosmic tinsel]

i didnt know that lol

[rough hollow]

king is the hq building on the ground

[strong barn]

No. it isnt. Lol

[rough hollow]

like, it straight up is

[eternal heath]

can someone tell me what the weird red flashlight thingy is for on tactical devices?

[strong barn]

Prapors bunker mission teaches you tis.

[rough hollow]

that's the piece painted on it

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah it is

[rough hollow]

if you know anything about chess

[strong barn]

Do prapors bunker mish, queen is dome

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah hes not saying dome

hes saying that king is king

[rough hollow]

yeah, queen is dome

[strong barn]

oh my b

[strong barn]

Im a turd dont mind me

🙃

[celest sage]

Wdym

[cosmic tinsel]

hes talkin about the IR spotlight

in theory its a bright infrared light that would be visible to NVGs but barely visible to the naked eye

[vocal parcel]

FUCK STAR ROUNDS

I just got double flashed

[strong barn]

kekW

[vocal parcel]

And it lasted 30 seconds

to a guy wearing full killa and factory

[cosmic tinsel]

the nvg functionality isnt implemented yet, so all it actually does is reduce your pointfire deviation with minimal visible giveaway

[vocal parcel]

242 absorbed using 8.5 mm

kill me

[strong barn]

you love to see it

[golden loom]

isnt the durability of killa armor only like 133 or something?

[vocal parcel]

there were two people

I might of hit one and then the other

but I couldnt see so....

[golden loom]

oh

[cosmic tinsel]

im honestly having a hard time parsing this. full dura is 60 i think

[golden loom]

material

makes it more durable than it actually says

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah

i dont know the destructability modifiers

[golden loom]

thats why hex and slicks are basically the same

[celest sage]

Wait so the intention would be to blind people with nvg?

[cosmic tinsel]

no, it would be an NVG flashlight thats invisible to people without NVGs, just like their irl use

[unreal horizon]

from my interpretation it functions the same as a flashlight but works with nvg's

[cosmic tinsel]

yes, but the functionality doesnt work in this game

[golden loom]

do you have any ideas of when it will be in the game

[cosmic tinsel]

no

[golden loom]

damn

[unreal horizon]

I think they're designed for really far distances so idk how they plan to implement it

[wintry crypt]

can somone who knows the game hop in a call with me i have some questions

[cosmic tinsel]

eh, not necessarily. you ever use like a nest camera?

(not my house)

imagine tarkov flashlight bright, but only visible thru NVGs

[eternal heath]

i want irl nvg's, not for any practical purpose just to look cool when i go get a midnight snack

[cosmic tinsel]

i cant hop in call but you can write me unlimited questions either here or thru dm

[vocal parcel]

isnt there a ir flashlight?

[unreal horizon]

yes, but not in function

[cosmic tinsel]

thats what we're talkin about, yeah, but it doesnt work

[vocal parcel]

oh

[cosmic tinsel]

the bright light on the device indicates that the device is on, but there is no visible laser or flashlight coming out of it bc its on ir spotlight mode

in function it should look about equivalent to having a flashlight turned on

[earnest seal]

best ammo for sks runs?

[unreal horizon]

BP*, if you can't afford use PS

[earnest seal]

lol I was about to ask about bp

thanks

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, BP is actual end game ammo

you can keep like, 15 in your pocket and leave the rest in your secure container

[slow tangle]

You could load the first mag with bp and the rest with ps

[cosmic tinsel]

PS is super strong early game but falls off hard

[earnest seal]

I just reached level 10 and bought some but then I looked in my ammo case and I had like 200

bp

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, they give you a ton of it early

its like 900rub/round

[slow tangle]

You also get a ton from the christmas gift

[earnest seal]

1200+

[craggy sapphire]

Hi

I got my btc farm soon'

[signal girder]

finally, lol

[craggy sapphire]

I am upgrading my nutrition unit rn

[golden loom]

if you have punisher part 5 done you can get it for 939 from prapor ll3

[bold kernel]

yo

[slow linden]

you're actually makin money

yooo

[bold kernel]

whats good ma

[golden loom]

ngl bitcoin farm is slightly broken rn

it hasnt gotten below 700k in a while per bitcoin

[bold kernel]

the quest in dorm where you have to find the hidden water do i have to extract after i was there

[golden loom]

and one per day pays for all my kits that day plus some

[signal girder]

tbh, hold your bitcoins til the 26th when Intel reveals their GPU line

[golden loom]

you dont have to extract that raid i believe

[bold kernel]

mmmh

good

[golden loom]

but you have to just extract one

[earnest seal]

I smell an oncoming market crisis

[golden loom]

oncoming?

[earnest seal]

well thats just free money

[golden loom]

its been going on

[signal girder]

Not like it ain't happened before, lmao

[golden loom]

ever since bitcoin starting rising again

gpus are like 1.6mil or some shit rn

[signal girder]

in 2018, btc went from 20k USD to 8.5k USD

[bold kernel]

what key do i need for the dorm water

[cosmic tinsel]

oof the price went up. it can be bought from prapor or crafted cheaper

[silver hornet]

206

[bold kernel]

thx

is this ak good enough for dorms?

[unreal horizon]

what's in it?

[bold kernel]

bp

[earnest seal]

lmao I am just going in with a base sks and bp

but it looks solid

[bold kernel]

thanks

[unreal horizon]

put a buttpad on the stock, like 1k from base prapor

[cosmic tinsel]

can you buy the rubber but

mikes got it

[unreal horizon]

other than that looking good

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly i'd consider using the magpul afg instead of the stubby too

to get some more of that sweet sweet recoil reduction bc that gun is pretty bouncy

[bold kernel]

ok thanks guys

[chrome raptor]

whats vert

[cosmic tinsel]

84 as is

75 after suggested mods

[bold kernel]

ok i got better stock

[cosmic tinsel]

that is better

you're still basically gonna wanna tap fire past 5 meters

[bold kernel]

yea :/

but what would i expect

its a short barrel rifle

[unreal horizon]

well if nothing else 2 story dorms should be less busy

people will be rushing marked so hopefully you can sneak in and out

[bold kernel]

yea.. ill probably wait somewhere and loot

maybe in big red

cuz i have the key for it

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah its not a bad gun by any means

just like, B tier

plus it looks cool

[bold kernel]

:)

[signal girder]

is san 107 good?

[cosmic tinsel]

idk, whats behind it?

formatting important lol

[signal girder]

oh office 107 east wing

prob decent

no?

[chrome raptor]

yes

[cosmic tinsel]

if its got a ledx or keycard spawn

if it doesnt probably disposable

[chrome raptor]

has ledx and graphics card spawn

but rare

[signal girder]

k, ima take this and my labs weapons testing key outta here

decent find, but not what i was looking for

[chrome raptor]

if u looting east get tape key and 222

and 306

and 314

and 310

and 328

[bold kernel]

should i use bp or bt

[unreal horizon]

bt's a little better

[bold kernel]

ok

[unreal horizon]

you'll be fighting close range so the tracers aren't a big deal

[signal girder]

nah, just found those 2 keys and figured i may as well peace out if they're worth a lot

[bold kernel]

well it can penetrate lvl6 armor

and thats the thing that matter

[unreal horizon]

wait what

i dont think so

[bold kernel]

it can...?

[unreal horizon]

it has 37 pen

[bold kernel]

uhhh

oh

right

[cosmic tinsel]

the description of bt against class 6

go face against things that look kitted

[bold kernel]

well at least

[bold kernel]

i have a little chance

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah!

[unreal horizon]

technically it can pen class 6 but it doesn't have good odds

[cosmic tinsel]

bt is good value ammo

great value ammo

[bold kernel]

yea why is bt cheaper than bp

[unreal horizon]

It also actually has beneficial recoil

[cosmic tinsel]

it is constantly found in raid in 120ct boxes

and people arent using it as much this late in the wipe

[bold kernel]

ok i think iam ready

[cosmic tinsel]

emotionally steel yourself for dying anyway 😄

and then do your best

[bold kernel]

yea i will die

[craggy sapphire]

Should i go kitted

[cosmic tinsel]

no

you get poor every time

[craggy sapphire]

I will get btc in two days tho

No

But i have gear that i can use

[unreal horizon]

play it slow and do you best to just get to water room. it'll save and you can extract at a later time

[bold kernel]

its like 75% i will die 15% i will survive 10% i wont even show up in the dorms

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah! but do your best and play smart and safe

[cosmic tinsel]

i feel like you're just gonna go kitted anyway

[unreal horizon]

you have the spare 1.5 mil to set it up?

[bold kernel]

HELL YE

LETS DO THIS

[craggy sapphire]

WHa

[unreal horizon]

good luck gamer

[cosmic tinsel]

i think doras getting a single btc

[craggy sapphire]

no

[cosmic tinsel]

oh, look at you

[bold kernel]

thanks

[unreal horizon]

ok just wanted to make sure you had that

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah once you hit btc you're straight chillin

[craggy sapphire]

I just need the intel folders

[unreal horizon]

full send if you want

[cosmic tinsel]

have you considered rushing crack house in customs

[craggy sapphire]

I am upgrading my nutrition unit rn

Yes

[cosmic tinsel]

i feel like its almost as broken as tetriz

[craggy sapphire]

Only found one

[cosmic tinsel]

i find one like, 75% of the time, and 2 like, 20% of the time

[earnest seal]

can I put a sight on sa-58?

[unreal horizon]

could either check crack house or sprint around reserve, intel is everywhere there

[craggy sapphire]

DId that for straight three hours yesterday

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, you need to replace the dust cover tho and thats moderately expensive

[cosmic tinsel]

classic

[craggy sapphire]

lol

[cosmic tinsel]

dora and dovah are my two strange tarkov children that i love very much

[craggy sapphire]

llo

lol

I need to go

now

I ahve practice

Bye

[unreal horizon]

cya later

[cosmic tinsel]

"should i do a chadded raid?" sure "ok i have to go to practice bye"

i feel like im on crazy pills

[unreal horizon]

this channel be like that sometimes

[cosmic tinsel]

great channel

[unreal horizon]

crazy pill central

[drifting kernel]

can anyone get me the annihilator muzzle device ?

[lavish forge]

yea sure

you gotta give me 10 labs keycard thos

[drifting kernel]

aww jeez

[woven flower]

In every game I join, I get matched against high-level players with meta guns and I keep dying on spawn. What do I do?

[drifting kernel]

keep playing

there is nothing you can do

[woven flower]

Sure, thanks for helping.

[drifting kernel]

no problem

[limber notch]

1. Dont play 2. Play smarter

[signal girder]

Have you looked for a sherpa?

[limber notch]

python, do syringes heal more if u inject them in ur mouth?

[drifting kernel]

yeah its like a cumshot

[limber notch]

stimshot*

[drifting kernel]

^^^

[limber notch]

Ok ill give it a try

I assume the 15 hp is insta healed, the one that usually slow heals

[drifting kernel]

yupp

dont spill any though

[limber notch]

Bet

[drifting kernel]

you got mechanic lvl 3 by any chance?

[woven flower]

Well, I had a friend that was kind of experienced but I don't hear much about him these days, so I should probably do that.

[limber notch]

I wish 😢

[woven flower]

How can I find a sherpa?

[limber notch]

I dont even have lvl 2

[drifting kernel]

aww

[limber notch]

im like 26k xp away

[drifting kernel]

i need lvl 3 for a gunsmith part

[violet cloud]

Would anyone be willing to do some raids on reserve with me and teach me how to farm the raiders?

[limber notch]

same, part on flea is like 100k vs mech lvl 2 for 1.7k

[dire rock]

hes right in some aspects, there is no matchmaking your just put in lobbies with whoever, so my best advice try and stay hidden, dont take every fight. especially as a solo your greatest strength is your mobility and sneaky

[drifting kernel]

my problem is there is that the part isnt even on flea

[limber notch]

Yeah sucks, im gonna grind tasks, should help if u do that too, for xp

[bold kernel]

@cosmic tinsel yo

[cosmic tinsel]

yo

[bold kernel]

2.5 mil, Jaeger L2

[cosmic tinsel]

LETS FREAKIN GOOOO

[bold kernel]

time to get that water collector

guys you wont believe it !!!

i didnt even go pmc run

beacuse im scared af

[cosmic tinsel]

hahahaha

you gotta get out there

you'll probably die

but sometimes, you dont

[unreal horizon]

try to remember that you'll lose your gear anyway whether its in 10 minutes from now or tomorrow

you won't be able to keep anything forever

[bold kernel]

Should I suck it up and just get this rn @cosmic tinsel

Medstation L3

[bold kernel]

yea but i that ak survived 3 raids :(

[cosmic tinsel]

i dont remember what it gates, but probably

[bold kernel]

i dont want to lose it

[cosmic tinsel]

does it gate intel?

[bold kernel]

yeah, need it for intel L2

[cosmic tinsel]

gear fear is real, but you either use it or sell it

not using it doesnt mean you get any more value out of it

[bold kernel]

yea i'll use it

[unreal horizon]

then it's done it's job and payed itself back, right? It has accomplished it's use

[bold kernel]

yea but i got memories for it

i dont want to lose my partner

[cosmic tinsel]

memories stay

thats why i love tarkov

[bold kernel]

yea memories

[cosmic tinsel]

every map is LITTERED in memories for me

[unreal horizon]

fr

[bold kernel]

when will new map come out?

[cosmic tinsel]

dunno

not announced

[bold kernel]

I am going to get this intel center by sunday

[cosmic tinsel]

i mean, we know its lighthouse first, andt hen streets second

[unreal horizon]

not public, next wipe maybe? and that wipe being in the summer would fit a pattern

[bold kernel]

ok i will sell the gear from scav i will go on to the quest

[unreal horizon]

I'm excited to see what lighthouse will be like

[cosmic tinsel]

so streets moved from being absolutely this year

[bold kernel]

new map?

[cosmic tinsel]

to being hopefully this year

[unreal horizon]

i'd presume it's a smaller map given the description so who knows?

[cosmic tinsel]

with an "intermediate" map being released sooner (lighthouse)

lighthouse sometime this year feels pretty reasonable, but bsg moves slow

[bold kernel]

any teasers?

[cosmic tinsel]

streets yes

[bold kernel]

for lighthouse

gib teaser

plis

[cosmic tinsel]

nothing for lighthouse, but i'd guess you can probably refer to the last episode of their raid video series

[bold kernel]

also is the terminal gonna be an airport 👀

that would be sick

[cosmic tinsel]

theres a lot of tarkov locations in the raid series that look pretty accurate

[fading violet]

Isnt terminal going to be the checkpoint area at the end of raid series

[unreal horizon]

maybe

[bold kernel]

ooooh could be it

[unreal horizon]

or at least somewhat like it

[cosmic tinsel]

i think that checkpoint is south side of shoreline

and that you enter that and get to lighthouse

but i could be wrong as heck

[bold kernel]

so from what I understand bsg wants to have all the maps linked together in the end

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

[bold kernel]

that would.. kinda suck?

[reef prairie]

i would be surprised if that actually happens

[bold kernel]

imagine the amount of optimization to have a map that big

[cosmic tinsel]

i think the maps would still be the maps

[fading violet]

I really doubt its going to work though, imagine if you want to run Interchange and you have to go through streets, customs and factory to get to it

[cosmic tinsel]

you'd just load screen between areas

[bold kernel]

exactly

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, i dunno. the vision that bsg describes is meaningfully different from the game now

traders would live in the world and you'd have to visit them

[bold kernel]

oh that makes a bit more sense.. especially with something like Road to Customs

[bold kernel]

wtf no

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah lol

we'll see

[fading violet]

Like I dont want to spend 2 hours in a raid and die to a scav head eyes me with a buckshot from a map away

[bold kernel]

^^^^

[cosmic tinsel]

im with you

[reef prairie]

its probably more like consecutive raids, not really one big map

[calm prism]

yea

[unreal horizon]

go dome with a 20x scope and shoot people on shoreline xd

[reef prairie]

[bold kernel]

still.. visiting traders would suck big time

[cosmic tinsel]

maybe. my point is mostly, "release tarkov" as described is very different from the current game, and im not sure how much they're realistically gonna be able to adapt the game to reach that vision

[calm prism]

thats what they said it would be like, its a risk of going into another raid for more reward but you could also die and lose the stuff from your last raid

[bold kernel]

yo wtf nice they made the btc limit higher?

[cosmic tinsel]

no lol

hideout management

[bold kernel]

aaaaaaaah

[reef prairie]

kinda useless if youre on once day

[cosmic tinsel]

max hideout management adds 2 bitcoin slots, fuel slots, water and air filter slots

[bold kernel]

damn son

[cosmic tinsel]

you look like a frickin nerd tho

😄

[bold kernel]

should i keep nuts

[unreal horizon]

probably

[cosmic tinsel]

if you think you can sell it for more than you buy it, go nuts

[bold kernel]

i mean those in game

[cosmic tinsel]

oh yes

they valuable

[reef prairie]

hideout management is op. who doesnt want to have fuel for 488 hours in the generator

[bronze salmon]

are you able to get more inventory eventually?

[unreal horizon]

yes

either by upgrading stash in hideout, or upgrading your game version

[bronze salmon]

so i should just upgrade my hideout

[bronze ice]

@opal gorge @bold kernel Still need that quest?

[unreal horizon]

yeah it costs 3.5 mil and needs some other modules but you'll get there

[fading violet]

You can upgrade the stash to level 3 pretty easily

Level 4 stash upgrade is like 20 mil

[celest sage]

There’s no point tho it’s a loss

Cheaper just to buy items cases right

[fading violet]

Yeah I believe so

[bold kernel]

yea ofcourse

[summer orchid]

hey so I just got the game and am loading up for the first time is there anything i should know to help me get started

[vivid yoke]

run customs

also look at all the traders and take their quests

[unreal horizon]

Know that you're going to get shit on and thats ok

every death will teach you something and you'll die a lot

[summer orchid]

what happens if i run out of my gear

[bold kernel]

dont hide and camp

[cosmic tinsel]

do scav raids and pistol raids as pmc

scavs are free kits

[bold kernel]

prapor will give you free gear

[cosmic tinsel]

and pistols are almost free

[cosmic tinsel]

not after the initial, right?

[bold kernel]

i think when you are low on money he gives you free gear

but im not sure

[unreal horizon]

he does but it's bad habit to rely on that, I believe its just for your first few days

[bold kernel]

yea its shit gear

[unreal horizon]

or maybe once per day until you hit a levell?

[bold kernel]

my bro got 3 packages in one day

[heavy laurel]

he must be broke AF

[bold kernel]

yea

[cosmic tinsel]

oh interesting

[heavy laurel]

maybe we wouldnt be so broke if prapor didnt scam for all our ammo on each insurance

[bold kernel]

what are my chances of survival in dorms @cosmic tinsel @unreal horizon

i still havent been there :/

[heavy laurel]

that depends, you rushing there or going in there late in the raid

[unreal horizon]

i'd either bind meds or put them into your beta

but looking good

[heavy laurel]

Dorms ist oftentimes very quiet at the 20-15 min left mark i found

[bronze salmon]

how do you turn on a flashlight like on ur gun?

[unreal horizon]

T

[bold kernel]

t

[unreal horizon]

controll + T toggles lasers and shit

[bronze salmon]

jeez thank you i was so confused and its pitch black rn

[bold kernel]

dont go night without night vision btw

[heavy laurel]

why not? it aint that dark and night raids are great for doing quests

[bronze salmon]

i had no choice it was either 03 or 0 17

[unreal horizon]

wink if you're feeling scared about it you could try running it in offline to learn where to go

[bold kernel]

yea but a guy have night vision sees you across the map and u r dead

[heavy laurel]

i did like half my quests on night raids, w/o nightvision

[unreal horizon]

to be fair this far into wipe most night raids will have people with nvg's

[bold kernel]

i died to it twice

[unreal horizon]

that strat is fine for early but less effective now

[bold kernel]

am no pussy me go there now me leave rich

[heavy laurel]

well i can only speak from personal expierence ofcr, but i found n9ightraids to a bit quiter and havent run into alot of nvgs

[bold kernel]

:)

[bold kernel]

btw i was in offline mode alot

[heavy laurel]

i can jump into dorms with you if u want

[bold kernel]

its ok

iam low lvl

[heavy laurel]

i got the keys for the safes there too

[unreal horizon]

good plan

[bold kernel]

yea but u would lose gear

[bold kernel]

thank

[heavy laurel]

its ok lol

i have 4 mil banked and my bitcoin farm is building, im not gonan go broke by dying in dorms ^^

[summer orchid]

should i pick bear or USEC

[bold kernel]

usec have m4 and stuff like that bear have ak

[polar current]

If someone has a pm pistol on their scav I will give you a bitcoin if you give it to me.

[summer orchid]

what is better do you think

[slow linden]

depends

[polar current]

USEC

[bold kernel]

m4 have lower recoil

[slow linden]

USEC

[golden loom]

you that desperate to get the punisher quest done?

[polar current]

You can scream at the enemies in English

[amber axle]

usec just ballin

[heavy laurel]

Usec has english voicelines, other then that it really doesnt matter

[golden loom]

the only reason you would choose bear is for the different clothing

[polar current]

Yup. I made 10 million roubles today and no fucking PM pistol.

[bronze ice]

@summer orchid Bear

[heavy laurel]

AKs are abit cheaper to mod early then m4s but the starting gear doesnt make a huge diffrence eithger way

[bold kernel]

yea i made mistake i took bear bcs he has darker clothing

but you can just buy clothing

[summer orchid]

i picked usec

[heavy laurel]

Bear aint no mistake mate, i been bear every wipe ^^

[golden loom]

the clothing between them still has their differences aswell

[polar current]

USEC gang

[bronze ice]

Bear is just an easier start, no real difference later on

other than endgame (fashion)

[cosmic tinsel]

you willingly opted out of the "nice work, bitch" voice line?

😄

[summer orchid]

I am SOOOO confused

[bold kernel]

братья родина

[slow linden]

congrats, you've made the biggest mistake of your life

[summer orchid]

how?

[bold kernel]

by buying this game

[slow linden]

this game is like repeatedly getting kicked in the nuts

[unreal horizon]

best usec line is "MARVELOUS!"

[summer orchid]

should i take out my m4 my first run

[cosmic tinsel]

"YER GOOOOOD"

[slow linden]

this game is alcoholism without alcoholics anonymous

[slow linden]

do an offline raid first

[cosmic tinsel]

id say no

[bold kernel]

yea grab only pistol

[heavy laurel]

go on with the pistols first couple raids to get ur feet wet

[summer orchid]

if I do offline raid can i still lose my stuff

[slow linden]

no

[golden loom]

offline raids are great

[polar current]

no but you dont gain anything either its just for practice

[golden loom]

you can bring in your chad kit onto labs with no fear of loosing it

[summer orchid]

how do I go into an offline one?

[heavy laurel]

oh offfline mode works ion labs? do you not loose the card?

[summer orchid]

which one is offline mode

[heavy laurel]

its on the screen after this one

[cosmic tinsel]

pmc, then the next screen will prompt for offline

[cosmic tinsel]

you do not lose the card

[heavy laurel]

oh i didnt knwo that

need to learn the layxout of that map at some point

[summer orchid]

what should i pick

[slow linden]

factory or customs

[unreal current]

customs

[summer orchid]

how do i know if its online or offline

[unreal current]

hit next

[heavy laurel]

you guys are devils, trying to send newbs into factory

ah well its offline ^^

[unreal current]

^

[cosmic tinsel]

i missed that. dont go factory

go customs or whatever

[unreal current]

just customs

[cosmic tinsel]

factory offline is fine for gunplay

[unreal current]

customs is the place for new players

[summer orchid]

it just put me in a game i think

where is offline mode

[heavy laurel]

oh no

[unreal current]

you hit ready not next

we told you to hit next

[summer orchid]

i left in time

[unreal current]

k

[autumn musk]

is a marked room key good i got it from a scav run????

[unreal current]

ye

[unreal horizon]

yes

about 500k but you can make a ton more milking it

[unreal current]

^

this, keep it

[autumn musk]

ok how

[unborn compass]

ive benn trying to get to room 321 on resort for like an hour now

its so hard

[cosmic tinsel]

you need a buddy?

[golden loom]

its only 360k rn

[heavy laurel]

go there late in the raid, 15 mins left all the chads will have left resort

[cosmic tinsel]

im not good but im a warm body

[unreal horizon]

opens marked room on the top floor of 3 story dorms

[summer orchid]

if u die in this game do you get kicked out? is it like a last man standing

[unreal horizon]

more reason to keep ig

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

[autumn musk]

ohhhh

what can i find from it

[heavy laurel]

just about any item in the game with few exceptions

[unborn compass]

haha thanks for the offer but ive already atl f4d

to much death has happened already

[golden loom]

wait what do you need in 321

[unreal horizon]

rare and valuable loose loot

[golden loom]

isnt it just the safe there?

[unborn compass]

thats where the pig is

i think

[golden loom]

pig is 2nd floor

321 has the safe

[summer orchid]

why does my game look like this its so grainy

[unborn compass]

oh lol well i never got into the building anways

but thanks

i gotta re read the wiki

[heavy laurel]

the way i do resort when i dont want to fight chads is go there with like 15-20 mins left, noone there most of the time and usually still a couple ledx/gpu rooms unopened

[golden loom]

wait it is 321

[unreal horizon]

@autumn musk it's this door with the wierd drawings if you're interested

[cosmic tinsel]

i just pulled a keytool, worth 800k last raid

[unreal current]

thats the weather

[vocal parcel]

1 shrap shell

[vocal parcel]

I survived this raid

[cosmic tinsel]

ks-23 gang

[golden loom]

ah im stupid the safe room is west 321 the pig is east 321

[unreal horizon]

you can change postfx in your settings, if you want i can send you mine to try

[cosmic tinsel]

uncheck "noise" at the bottom

[unreal horizon]

oh the grainy is just sorta a look

[unreal current]

^this also

[summer orchid]

can i play this game on max settings with a 3070

[unborn compass]

yeah i deadid 8 times and i got to the room but got vectored

i need to re think my plan haha

[cosmic tinsel]

look at my specs - im running a 2080

[heavy laurel]

Should be able to @summer orchid

[unreal horizon]

lol I reckon you can

[unborn compass]

most likely

[heavy laurel]

i got a 2070 and i run on maxed

[unreal current]

prob

[cosmic tinsel]

you can start there and then dial it up as you can afford it

[golden loom]

i would go with the old sit in a bush at the corner of the map until the last 15 minutes

[summer orchid]

is there a way to show fps?

[cosmic tinsel]

press tilde, and then type fps 1

[unborn compass]

I have 2070 super and i get really good frames on close to max settings

[cosmic tinsel]

type fps 0 to turn it back off

[golden loom]

cries in 1060

[unborn compass]

3g or 6g

[golden loom]

i really need to upgrade my gpu

its the 6gb one

[bold kernel]

my scav is a true chad

[golden loom]

so its not shit

[cosmic tinsel]

imagine if you could buy gfx cards :/

[latent plank]

anyone wanna help me in 2 Man squad

[unborn compass]

ye i had 3g it wasnt fun

[golden loom]

i can usually run the game at pretty good settings at 40-50 fps

[bold kernel]

he doesnt need stock just a big mag and a gun

[heavy laurel]

with what papa josh

[golden loom]

not the 165 my monitor can support sadly

[summer orchid]

i want my game to look the best it can, should I change anything

it looks kind of weird

[heavy laurel]

disable z-blur

[unborn compass]

maybe change post fx

[cosmic tinsel]

i disable everything along the bottom

[heavy laurel]

resampling: 1x off

[cosmic tinsel]

heres my postfx, @summer orchid

[heavy laurel]

sharpness to 0.5 to 1

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah that sharpness is goofy lol

[unborn compass]

meevo imma try your out if its bad im suing

[cosmic tinsel]

i will give you your money back if you dont like it

😉

its pretty bright but not stupid bright

[unreal horizon]

crank up that colorfulness ya goof

[cosmic tinsel]

also obligatory "colors are determined by gpu first, then game, then monitor"

[unborn compass]

yeah i have my " colorfulness " higher in the nvidia settings

[cosmic tinsel]

is this what you want

is this good for you

[golden loom]

can we all appreciate the fact that gpus in tarkov are $23.5k

[unborn compass]

hahhaaha

[summer orchid]

is 120 fps the best u can get in this game

[summer orchid]

how do u make it that colorful

[cosmic tinsel]

i dont know it looks terrible

[unborn compass]

economy goes crazy

[cosmic tinsel]

i used my postfx settings to get more color

[unreal current]

yeah why would you want that

[unreal horizon]

yeah no unlimited unfortunately

[golden loom]

i mean they arent too far off of the irl prices rn lmao

[cosmic tinsel]

are you... running 1080p? you're not gonna hit 120 in 1440 or better

[summer orchid]

im 1080p

[cosmic tinsel]

oh ok

[summer orchid]

but my fps is capped at 120

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah

[unborn compass]

haha fr silicon shortage bouta make gpus 23k

[cosmic tinsel]

thats the cap

[golden loom]

wait is it always 120 fps cap or can you change that

[unreal horizon]

I must say i'm not disappointed

[golden loom]

cause i got a 165 hz monitor

[unreal horizon]

you're hard capped 120

[golden loom]

damn

[unborn compass]

its capped by the game

[cosmic tinsel]

its always 120. i've got a 165 as well and im not hitting anything higher than 100 at 1440p

[unborn compass]

idk why 120 but its not that serious

[cosmic tinsel]

thanks! i wanted vivid but realistic

[golden loom]

well either way still gonna fucking make a bot to snipe a 3090

[summer orchid]

am i just trying to kill people? whats my goal

[unborn compass]

loading offline lets see how it looks

[cosmic tinsel]

goals are whatever you wanna do. theres a ton of quests, thats what i chase

[unreal current]

L O O T

G E T T H E L O O T

[cosmic tinsel]

lots of people go for max loot, max K/D, or max survival rate

[unreal horizon]

this is the point in the afternoon when meevo links pestily's yt

[unborn compass]

get money , click heads , do challenges , upgrade hideout

[cosmic tinsel]

his youtube video today is so accurate to how i feel mike

[unreal current]

L O O T O R D I E

[cosmic tinsel]

fk bitcoin and fk physical skills

[unreal current]

O R B O T H

[unreal horizon]

needless to say, he knows his shit

[summer orchid]

as a beginner, what do you guys think i should do right now im in offline

[unborn compass]

oh yeah this looks sick @cosmic tinsel

[cosmic tinsel]

only when i agree with him jk

[cosmic tinsel]

learn the map!

[golden loom]

i would recommend going into beginner info and joining the sherpa discord and one of them can probably join a call and help you much more than we can. also personally i would do quests whenever you can (especially gunsmith) and also get hideout stuff as if you can get to bitcoin farm it is really good rn. also you dont really need to focus on pvp rn but more so learning maps, item values, and how to survive

[cosmic tinsel]

walk around. the direction your looking is the direction of exfil

[unreal horizon]

I watched it I certainly agree with the running point and the jumping point

[cosmic tinsel]

try and get a feel for the shape of the map and where the exfil points are

[unreal horizon]

extra run speed is bullshit i'm calling it how it is

[cosmic tinsel]

i'm glad! i found someones reddit post and started there and then played with sliders for a while

[vocal parcel]

ending my life right now

[cosmic tinsel]

what kind of ammo were you using

[vocal parcel]

8.5 mm

buckshot

[manic horizon]

oof

gotta get legs or face with that

[cosmic tinsel]

so shotguns are tough - you gotta either go for unprotected face, or legs

they're not bad, but they require specific aiming and playstyle to enable

[golden loom]

i mean magnum buck will still fuck up most face shields

[vocal parcel]

The guy was right in my face and my barrel was too long so it wasnt shoved to the side

[golden loom]

also yeah thats the problem with long guns

[manic horizon]

sucks

[golden loom]

its happened to me too many times

[vocal parcel]

but 571 absorbed that so annyoing

[heavy laurel]

this is my post fx settings, pretty happy with it

[vocal parcel]

and the guy had the lvl 4 armored rig on im p sure

so like 40 durability?

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, anything 4 or better basically just EATS buckshot

[slow tangle]

What did i do with syringes?

[golden loom]

do you know what armored rig?

[dire rock]

depends on the armor

[cosmic tinsel]

mostly sell em

[dire rock]

sell or inject if you want their effect

[heavy laurel]

yeah rip if it was a ttv or smth similiar with like 80 dura

[golden loom]

cause if it was only one of the thorax ones then damn you really good at shooting thorax

but also if you had aimed slightly lower you could have fucked their stomach

[dire rock]

prob an M1 rig those are the most common lvl 4

[cosmic tinsel]

m1/ratrig/tv are the 3 i see

occasionally trooper but not much this late in wipe

[dire rock]

mhm

[manic horizon]

troopers are too expensive bc of the slick trade

[heavy laurel]

trooper is ym facorite level 4, cheap, high dura and repairs great

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, i'll wear a trooper if i find it but its not worth buying

rather grab a korund

[dire rock]

not cheap anymore lol

[manic horizon]

yep

[unreal horizon]

cheap isn't the word i'd use lol

[heavy laurel]

ah i havent really been buying much, started pretty late this wipe and im mostly using what i find

[cosmic tinsel]

that works

[viral prawn]

unless you use AP-20 Slugs or the KS-23

[golden loom]

once i unlocked the korund its the only thing i run

[dire rock]

its still a great armor, better than any other against stuff like ap 6.3 its just not cheap

[golden loom]

only 100k and lvl 5

plus repairs really well

[cosmic tinsel]

true for ap-20 and barricade

[golden loom]

and get it back a lot from insurance

[manic horizon]

it breaks too easy for me, i use TV-110 rig even tho its lower armour class, its same price tho

[cosmic tinsel]

for shrap i still go face/leg

[heavy laurel]

maybe its jsut me but i find alot more gear in weaponboyes and hidden stahses then last wipe

[viral prawn]

and Shrap10 if you want to leg meta

696 per shot, yes please

[cosmic tinsel]

time for my daily "shrap25 is better" lesson

😄

[viral prawn]

It's more accurate, but if your being a bush wookie the 10 is better

[golden loom]

isnt shrap 10 only good if you like right next to the person

[dire rock]

i dont use it but all my friends say shrap 10 is better

[cosmic tinsel]

6 pellets to kill from both shells to legs

[viral prawn]

it's a debatable tradeoff through cause both oneshot

[cosmic tinsel]

shrap 25 tighter cone

[viral prawn]

10 eats armor though

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, i'll give you bush wookie-ing

[unreal horizon]

from personal experience, shrap10 is more of a shrap30

[cosmic tinsel]

im looking for cqb one taps

[viral prawn]

i usually run AP-20 for that reason

i cant train myself to aim for legs

[cosmic tinsel]

and swapping from 10 to 25 made a huge difference

[viral prawn]

but a AP20 can go through an ATLYN pretty fast

like 2 shots, sometimes 1 even

[golden loom]

same

[heavy laurel]

i mostly use flechettes or ap20 yeah

[cosmic tinsel]

it took a while to train it but once i got it it was fine

[viral prawn]

Lega meta seems like the Paper to the rock that is tier5-6 armor

and Scissors is clearly like m61 or Lapua AP that just don't give a fuck

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly i'm running a ton of ks-23 because all i see is m61 slick chads

[heavy laurel]

oh god its time for database, hate that quest... im not comdotable on interchange to start with, dont make run all across the mall xD

[manic horizon]

good luck

[heavy laurel]

i always either get clapped in the middle of the mall or die outside trying to head for extract

well save for the times where the pmc that spawned next to me claps me on the way in

[golden loom]

never go to the middle of the mall

thats my rule

since there is killa plus all the killa farmers there

[heavy laurel]

yeah idk, i just cant warm up to interchange, i simply do not like it

[golden loom]

just go around the back of the stores and you might run into some scavs and lightly armored pmcs just going for barter items and stuff

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, i feel the same. basically dont go except for quests

[heavy laurel]

yeah same, only go there when ragmen needs more smoke up his ass to unlock next level

[hollow pelican]

need help doing some quest n killing some scavs been looking for hours someone give a brotha a hand lev 18

[heavy laurel]

it doesnt help that i get completely lost in the mall itself and the huge garage, and can only find my way with the compass and a map xD

[unreal horizon]

could go woods odds are you'll spawn near scav house or the medical camp

[hollow pelican]

i need kills on other maps n need to collect things on shoreline think its called

[heavy laurel]

i can show you the scav locations on shoreline

[hollow pelican]

dont need kills on that map my quest called chemical p2 kills i need interchange n customs

[unreal horizon]

if you can't find scavs on inter idk what to tell ya

[heavy laurel]

chemical 2 is on customs tough

[unreal horizon]

just go to oli or idea

could go dorms, guard tower, or old gas

[hollow pelican]

yeah i can find i know powerplant n main roads they spawn just not to sure on extractions but anyway was just asking someone help me out in game but thanks anyway

[unreal horizon]

yeah idk if many people are gonna want to run around and guide you to scavs

[bold kernel]

i did it!

i survived dorms

[unreal horizon]

good shit!

[heavy laurel]

👍

[bold kernel]

i didnt get pmc kill but

who cares

[heavy laurel]

did you go there a bit later in the raid?

[bold kernel]

10 minutes in raid

soo 30 minutes to extract

[heavy laurel]

ah usually still alot of activity there at that time

[bold kernel]

yea but i survived

and thats the only thing that matters

[unreal horizon]

^

[bold kernel]

but i feel like pussy

[slow tangle]

How come hex is cheaper than slick?

[bold kernel]

i want pmc kills

but im too scared

[open lotus]

less dura

good barter trade

[open lotus]

scared of what

[golden loom]

the hex basically has the same durability because of material tho

[bold kernel]

that they will one shot me

[golden loom]

also dont worry about being scared of pmcs

[open lotus]

im more scared of scavs than pmcs

[golden loom]

basically everybody is except the people who are good at pvp

[unreal horizon]

well that's nothing to fear as it's going to happen, a lot. but sometimes it wont and you'll win

every death will teach you something

[heavy laurel]

well,sometimes just sitting still and not taking the fight is the right play tough

[golden loom]

what about that time i got head eyes by a shotgun scav? that didnt teach me shit

[unreal horizon]

fair enough

[open lotus]

taught u to wear a faceshield

[heavy laurel]

it tought you to respect the 1tap scavs ^^

[unreal horizon]

buckshot go weeeeeee

[golden loom]

more of taught me shotgun scavs are the scariest beings in this game

scarier than people in altyns and fort armor with rpks full of igolnik

[bronze mist]

could anyone help me with acquaintance or sanitary standards pt.2?

[cunning bronze]

Anyone willing to help me get to level 10

[bold kernel]

new to pc in general. looking for people who want to play tarkov

[cosmic tinsel]

those are both just rng item drops, unfortunately

[bronze mist]

😦

[cosmic tinsel]

real stinko

[bold kernel]

my survival rate is not 26% yaaaaaaaay

[bronze mist]

yeah, only quest to go somewhere is bunker pt2 😂

[median shale]

what is yours then

[cosmic tinsel]

i'd suggest looking for food at the emercom camp in woods, and gasans... anywhere? maybe scaving into interchange and hitting tech stores

[bold kernel]

oh sorry

[cosmic tinsel]

only you can determine your appropriate SR

[bold kernel]

my survival rate is now 26% yaaaaaaaay

[cosmic tinsel]

woop woop

hopefully that bad boy keeps goin up a lil

[bold kernel]

yea

[cosmic tinsel]

but thats not a terrible place to be

[bold kernel]

me go now drink water

cuz i will have ton of water

[slow linden]

I'm at 45% for mostly solo first wipe

because rat go brrr

[cosmic tinsel]

heck yeah

ive torpedoed mine from 48 to 39 lol

[slow linden]

I've also acquired a large sum of ruble

lmao

quests

?

[cosmic tinsel]

no post kappa

i was like fuck it time to get weird

[slow linden]

ah

[cosmic tinsel]

goofy loadouts, dangerous areas, running at 308 reports

[slow linden]

yea

like

after I hit my daily quota for cash

my friends and I do goofy loadouts

[unreal horizon]

5 stack with ppsh, alternating bullets in drums, crash server

[cosmic tinsel]

i made a gun that crashed my own game 😦

this bad boy was rad but if i turned the flashlights on anywhere near an exfil it hard crashed me back to main menu

[unreal horizon]

I like to make a "red dot"

use as many lasers as you can with 30mm rings as an outline

[bold kernel]

WTF

beuty

[sharp ridge]

sir you are missing a stock

[bold kernel]

it will probably blind the man that is looking at you

permanetly

[cosmic tinsel]

no i like how the gun feels front heavy

[cosmic tinsel]

i am killing a man in this frame

[sharp ridge]

you cant just unleash blindness on the poor citizens of tarkov

[cosmic tinsel]

anyway

stuff like that is why its ok to have a lower SR

if you CANT SURVIVE thats bad

if you're not worried about surviving bc you're making your own fun, nbd

[bold kernel]

like you dont even have to shoot

it will cook him alive

[unreal horizon]

this is the red dot lmfao

[cosmic tinsel]

o bby

[bold kernel]

fuck

i just lost the thing to marl something

do i need 4 of them ?

or i just need 1 and it will duplicate

[cosmic tinsel]

im really struggling to process what you're asking here

what quest is this

[unreal horizon]

mark?

oh the tankers?

[bold kernel]

yea

the tankers

[unreal horizon]

you need 4 markers but check mail prapor gave you them

[bold kernel]

yea he gave

but i lost one

fuck

[cosmic tinsel]

its ok, you can buy more

they cost a little but not a lot

i suggest keeping them in your secure container

[unreal horizon]

you can buy them from prap but try to keep them in container, they're worth a bit more than some meds

also they dont need to be done in the same run so you can bring 2 if thats all you have extra space for

[bold kernel]

oooh

cool

i saw a video and it looks like that this quest is hard

like walking across the map

[cosmic tinsel]

my memory was the opposite

but similar

[unreal horizon]

oh i'll wiki it 1 sec

[cosmic tinsel]

dont give up if you see an orange tank

[bold kernel]

wha u mean

[cosmic tinsel]

play it slow and dont walk thru bullets

you either have to put the marker on the tractor truck, or on the fuel trailer

[final grove]

pretty sure they can go on the tank, this wipe at least

[cosmic tinsel]

and the other one doesnt work. theres some disagreement if you stick it on the orange or white part of the truck

[unreal horizon]

yeah that's correct

[frozen flax]

anyone here who wants to jump in a raid with me and teach me some basics? 😄

[unreal horizon]

lol just try the other if one doesn't work

[cosmic tinsel]

people show up and volunteer when they have availability, but it doesnt hurt to check in every now and then. theres also the sherpahub discord which is pretty dedicated to matching people like you with people that want to sherpa

!sherpahub
