[torn ledge]

If you gotta kill Scavs, BT is absolutely fine.

[errant estuary]

Scav is fine then

[reef prairie]

5.45 in general is pretty bad now. BT doesnt perform well and BS is overpriced

[errant estuary]

any ammo is fine against scav imo, just headshot

[torn ledge]

BT is cheap enough to warrant its use over any other ammo in a 5.45 platform. Scavs can wear class 3/4 armour and headshots aren't always viable. Might as well ensure you can penetrate their defences easily.

Plus it at least gives you a fighting chance against a player.

[reef prairie]

looks like people are strength levelling now. technical manual went from 3k to 13k

[bronze void]

when i did punisher 3 a couple weeks ago i modded every ak a lot and i would get it back from insurance almost every time and it helpled with pvp

[summer tartan]

As a level 6, what is the best way to get ex? just try to stash run and exfil or farm scav kills i just need flee lol

[unreal horizon]

farming scavs and players in factory is the fastest way but that might not be ideal for a new player

[small cairn]

quests is probably the easiest

while looking around for scavs

[unreal horizon]

start working on your quests, you should have at least 3 rn

[summer tartan]

I have the secon prapor quest which is find a convoy and i have therapists saleway kits

[unreal horizon]

you'll have one called introduction from mechanic as well

[summer tartan]

I actually have pretty okay loot for a level 6 because i have high level friends who have helped me so i can come in kinda geared

[bold kernel]

i just cleaned my keyboard and my back hurt afff dudeee

[unreal horizon]

oof

[bold kernel]

but my gaming chair is better then massage so im ok i guess

are the servers down again?

oh shit the raid ended when i was joining

[unreal horizon]

yikes

nikita's like "you weren't supposed to do that!"

[bold kernel]

:)

how does the scav work anyway do i like posses a scav or do i just spawn

[dire eagle]

you spawn as one

[bold kernel]

:/

[twilit anchor]

Whats good ammo that isn't like 2k for 5.56x45

[bold kernel]

well m855 is like not bad

[compact shore]

eww

[bold kernel]

it cant penetrate lvl 6 armor

but its cheap

[reef prairie]

it cant penetrate lvl 4

[compact shore]

i mean it can... it will take a couple of mags

[bold kernel]

yea

[reef prairie]

a stock m4 is not worth the ammo

[compact shore]

it will blunt dmg it down

[bold kernel]

i would go with m855a1 for every raid

or m856a1

[compact shore]

shit is still expensive

[bold kernel]

yea

[compact shore]

856a1 are tracers... so beware with that

[bold kernel]

but when you find chad that have 4 full mags of m995

thats like

😗 👌

[dreamy meteor]

how big fee will be if i sell thicc item case on flea

[bold kernel]

well i mean you can sell it for 1000 rubels

eh eh

[summer tartan]

How much is good ammo for an FAL? i thinks its 762 by 51

[bold kernel]

m61 or m62 or m80

the best is m61

then m62

then m80

choice is your

[silver hornet]

M993, M61, then M80. Don't bother using M62.

[bold kernel]

why not

oh right

tracer

[silver hornet]

Nah because it's just M80 WITH a tracer.

[unreal horizon]

it's literally the same bullet but double the price

3 more pen ain't doing shit

[golden loom]

get m855a1 from skier or peacekeeper right after they reset

[golden loom]

depends on the price you put it up for but it should be somewhere around 3-4 mil

[limber notch]

at what time is it dawn?

[golden loom]

at like 6am or so

its bright enough to see

[limber notch]

so starting at 5:30 will be too dark?

[golden loom]

if its currently 5:30 on the timer by the time you load in you should be fine

[limber notch]

I assume time passes at same rate while in raid

[golden loom]

yeah

so it will also get brighter

[limber notch]

ok thanks, so in 3 min it will be 6am

[golden loom]

yeah so you have time to get too where you want to go in darkness hopefully

be a little sneakier

[limber notch]

Ok thanks, I just want a quiet raid for 5 min of dehydration

[golden loom]

ah you are doing that

[limber notch]

yes

got my propital and pks

[golden loom]

theres one spot on woods where you can go into a rock formation by ruaf

theres a little hole in the rock wall

i just sat down there

also bring a condensed milk or mayo aswell

[limber notch]

alright will try it out, thanks

[golden loom]

itl get you down really fast

[limber notch]

6 painkillers should bring it to 0

the pack of 4

[golden loom]

that does work aswell

and its probably cheaper

[limber notch]

yeah

[small cairn]

What quest gave me -0,0000001? xd

[craggy sapphire]

lol

[bold kernel]

scav with labs keycard lets GOO

[craggy sapphire]

wtf

[elfin trail]

Bitcoin farm? Also waiting patiently to start my passive income :D

[craggy sapphire]

I have 13 gpu's rn

[golden loom]

bruh wtf

and you just now getting bitcoin farm?

[craggy sapphire]

What about it?

[golden loom]

how did you have 13 gpus before you got it

[craggy sapphire]

You know who i am

[golden loom]

after you get one or two you should have thought about getting it

also no i dont really

[craggy sapphire]

I am the proffesional hatchet runner

[golden loom]

that makes a little more sense

was it a trader level problem?

[craggy sapphire]

Ye

Jaeger

[golden loom]

ah

[craggy sapphire]

But my traders are looking stable now

[golden loom]

you ever considered doing more tasks?

the high level traders are very good

[craggy sapphire]

I only need to level up

And i am trying to do friends from the west

[golden loom]

oh yeah that one was brutal for me cause im not that good at pvp

[craggy sapphire]

Okay

SO i am trying to do rat runs on factory bc i am poor rn

And this happened

[golden loom]

how tf does one do rat runs on factory?

[craggy sapphire]

Idk

But

With a ks23

Anything is possible

[golden loom]

ah ks-23 rat run

[craggy sapphire]

Yeah

[golden loom]

if you wanna make more from your rat runs just go interchange

i just run to pharmacy as nobody checks it and i can usually get some money off of it and just some general med stuff

like i find saline solutions almost every time

and there is a chance for a ledx

but i got lucky and also got the emercom key so i go there after

and found a gpu 2 raids in a row

also i gotta say i think there are set presets for what spawns in the fixed spawns

cause there was also the lightbulb in the same place next to it and the pharmacy loot was pretty similar

[craggy sapphire]

Okay

wtf

I got disconnected dude

[golden loom]

F

[cosmic tinsel]

this angle right here is pretty filthy with the ks-23

i'll leave that door open when i come in so i can shoot under that if someone approaches from that angle

and i'll look under that when im approaching from hallway

[craggy sapphire]

I usually do that

But i heard that guy coming already when i got in there

[bold kernel]

YI YI

[near chasm]

Can I get some help with a team?

[limber notch]

Should I sell fp 100? (I dont have vents yet)

[bold kernel]

IM GIVING AWAY INTELLIGENCE TO A BEGINNER GUESS A NUMBER 1-10 EVERYONE GETS ONE TRY TO GUESS AFTER THAT ITS OVER FOR THAT PERSON

[craggy sapphire]

7

[limber notch]

4

[bold kernel]

BOTH WRONG

[sage lance]

3

[limber notch]

btw no need for caps

Should I sell fp 100? (I dont have vents yet)

[bold kernel]

also 10 mins

yea

[limber notch]

thanks

[bold kernel]

it was caps lock also not a big deal

i pressed caps in game forgot it was on

in 10 mins the "giveaway" is over

[craggy sapphire]

I am gonna have fuel in my generator 24/7

[summer tartan]

how much is the tank round and the plague mask worth in flee?? i have both those things but im not lvl 10 yet

[bold kernel]

TANK ROUND 200K

[craggy sapphire]

Plague is like 60k i think

[bold kernel]

oops

plague is 60

[craggy sapphire]

Yeah

[summer tartan]

dope im saving a lot of stuff so i can make money once i hit 10

[bold kernel]

nice dont oer haul shit tho

over

[summer tartan]

im mostly keeping the expensive stuff

[bold kernel]

ok good

if you want to hit level 10 fast go factory

[golden loom]

if you want to hit lvl 10 fast and dont wanna pvp just do a lot of quests

[limber notch]

should I keep or sell water filters? i have 4

[cosmic tinsel]

you can also try and find a corner in factory or and wait for it to get quiet and then butcher scavs in tunnel

[limber notch]

been thinking of saving for superwater but idk

[cosmic tinsel]

ehhh

i dont know if they're gonna go much higher

so if you sell and rebuy you're basically just getting more inventory space and only paying the market fee for it

honestly water filters are so expensive that theres not even a ton of profit in em

[limber notch]

alright thanks

[bold kernel]

guys GUYS You wont believe it

i killed pmc and then extracted

OMFG

[unreal horizon]

Good shit

[craggy sapphire]

I have 300k

[bold kernel]

he was lvl26

[craggy sapphire]

Cool

[bold kernel]

vector + ak74

[craggy sapphire]

Nice

[unreal horizon]

I hear a grenade launcher gamer in my reserve game and I'm terrified

[bold kernel]

:/

[craggy sapphire]

200k

[bold kernel]

uhh

what happend

[craggy sapphire]

I bought the btc farm

[bold kernel]

his name was sitdowncamper but he was camping

[craggy sapphire]

And intel center

And the food station lvl 3

And all of those

[bold kernel]

what an arshole

[craggy sapphire]

I am so bad

[bold kernel]

i went to kill scavs but i found gold

[craggy sapphire]

After upgrading everything i need in the hideout :(

[unreal horizon]

lmao hatchet man

[craggy sapphire]

lol

[cosmic tinsel]

are you actively pushing btc farm

[bold kernel]

can i kill 12 scavs in one raid?

[cosmic tinsel]

absolutely

i did 17 in one raid yesterday, just walkin around lookin for pvp

[bold kernel]

oh really

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah

[bold kernel]

oh wow

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly the trick is just stayin around later

dont force fights

[bold kernel]

well i was looking for scavs and found player

[cosmic tinsel]

hahaha i only found one 😦

i describe my scav hunting strategy as "floating" - i dont want to get anchored anywhere or push into something that feels wrong

i approach areas that i know have scavs, i look for signs of scavs or pmcs. if its just scavs, i go for the kills, otherwise i get outta there and look somewhere else

[bold kernel]

you know what? i think iam starting to get hang of this game

[cosmic tinsel]

nice!

it takes a feel

[tired crane]

[cosmic tinsel]

theres no safe science but you definitely understand what makes the game work for you more often than not

[bold kernel]

helll yea survival rate is now 27

[tired crane]

wait whaat

[tired crane]

👋

[bold kernel]

oh god

[slow linden]

POV: You hatchet run inter

[craggy sapphire]

Ik i am

But

I still have no money

[bold kernel]

look at this cute hatchling 🥺

nothing against you btw everyone have his own play style

[slow linden]

this

this is the solution

@craggy sapphire

[bold kernel]

uhhhh

3 rounds?

heh even i have more inches on my pp

[chrome atlas]

i want to buy a large quantity of snacks to eat while playing tarkov what is the scientifically best tarkov snack

[bold kernel]

uhhh

lunch box

[placid talon]

damn

the heavy packs

[bold kernel]

uhhhh

[placid talon]

lmfao

i spent all cash atm on rr para cord and keys

[bold kernel]

you have the funny number

[placid talon]

?

oh ffs

😄

[bold kernel]

:D

oke i go play now

[signal girder]

nah, you spent it on unnecessary SAS's, lol

[placid talon]

i loose 10k a sas later on if i sell

so its not that big of a dent compared to the levelling

[signal girder]

If you don't die and lose them, yeah

[slow linden]

they're in his docs

[placid talon]

they go into container

[calm prism]

wait do SAS things boost your level rate?

[hard breach]

strength training

[calm prism]

oh

cool

[fallen cargo]

they weig 0.8kilo so they overweight you

[cosmic tinsel]

also commonly done w/ shotgun shells

which are cheaper, and can be thrown out piecemeal, but require more work

[fallen cargo]

not cheaper in the long run

[cosmic tinsel]

agreed

[slow tangle]

can scavs breach doors or was that a player scav?

[slow linden]

player scav

[slow tangle]

Also had a scav tank 4 ap-20 rounds, is that possible?

[slow linden]

uh

what armor

[keen sorrel]

Yo guys, gonna do some hatchet fights on factory soon for prizes (thermals, slicks etc.) - If you have any other ideas for prizes would be awesome, let me know if you wanna join!

[cosmic tinsel]

scavs absolutely breach doors, and breach doors more frequently than player scavs do - this is especially true of certain doors, especially the ones in factory office

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly you probably hit arm arm stomach or similar

ap-20 sails thru everything a scav would wear

and its got enough damage to drop one shot (2 shots max if class 4 armor manages to catch)

[bold kernel]

fuck me did they turn the gpu spawns down

6 times being the first in texho and no gpu for my farm ;-;

[signal girder]

I hope they did

then again, it could make gpu prices even worse, so idk

[cosmic tinsel]

man i almost never found gpus in texho. only german and rasmussen. you also have probably ran 10x more interchange than me tho, so i think you probably understand better than me

[slow linden]

called it

I knew this day would come

[bold kernel]

I tried Rasmussen twice and still no luck

[bold kernel]

tehxo is the only place I found em lol

[slow linden]

back to ratting for them AESA's, Intel, Absorbers and Fuel

[bold kernel]

a

[slow linden]

b

[cosmic tinsel]

i'm shocked intel isnt a bigger thing tbh. one of the most consistent high value items i see

plus i can feed it to my scav case so i dont feel like i need to rat to exfil

[slow linden]

I rat for consistent money, not gamble for GPU's

unlike most of my peers

[cosmic tinsel]

100%

[slow linden]

as GeneralSam dictates

those cages under bunker hermetic are gold mines

[ornate steppe]

I’m a factory one trick

How do I stop this

[slow linden]

you're a what

[signal girder]

by running out of money

[ornate steppe]

I only play factory

[signal girder]

like Dora did with interchange

[slow linden]

become a rat

[ornate steppe]

Because on every other map I get shot from some random bush

Yeah I am a rat

[cosmic tinsel]

you just gotta grind it out honestly

[ornate steppe]

And I kill chads on factory

[slow linden]

rat on reserve

join me brudda

and get exfil camped

by me

[signal girder]

It's because you can't be bothered learning maps, so you just play factory as it requires the least amount of map learning

[sly girder]

Lookin for some assistance gettin better at the game

[ornate steppe]

[bold kernel]

I don't think hatchling runs are worth it :(
wasting my time and running my kd into the ground

[signal girder]

which is actually a legit way of playing

[slow linden]

not anymore

JOIN ME ON RESERVE BRUDDA

[cosmic tinsel]

your kd is meaningless but your time is important

[bold kernel]

yeah I've wasted 2 hours today

[cosmic tinsel]

i play budget and am constantly mindful of what my goals are

[signal girder]

You're right. We should all be putting more effort into our studies, careers and families instead of playing Tarkov

[cosmic tinsel]

when im poor, its get objectives done, find some amount of loot, and survive

[slow linden]

listen

[cosmic tinsel]

when i'm wealthy its usually "try and find a messy fire fight and get weird"

[slow linden]

if you think tarkov is more important than other stuff

just think

whats better

school or getting kicked in the nuts

[signal girder]

usually both happen in tandem

[slow linden]

eh, sometimes

btw

I was in a vc with someone

and he opened a can of coke

it sounded like a bullet whizzing past me in tarkov

I hit the deck asap

[signal girder]

lmfao

[slow linden]

this game has ruined me

[quartz bay]

anyone want to runs woods i have to do the jager quest

[signal girder]

state server

[rugged yacht]

hatchet running is war crime

[unreal horizon]

^

[bold kernel]

i need help from 2 guys, I need 2 people to get in my game and let me kill them

[quartz bay]

lol

[signal girder]

Unless you're trying to queue-sync, it won't count

[bold kernel]

oh

how do I get this monee

[signal girder]

people in your prearranged group won't count for kills

[rugged yacht]

Boosting is for garbage gamers

dont boost

[signal girder]

Looks like 1hr of stash runs

[rugged yacht]

you can get it in 2 interchang eruns

[signal girder]

assuming you dont die^

[bold kernel]

lmao you're saying in 1hr of stash runs I can get 2.5 mil

[rugged yacht]

if you hatchet run you will be there for almost 2 hours trying to make it out with a gpu

if you go with a sks and armor you can prob get it done 1st raid

[signal girder]

Yep, I get 1.5 - 3mil, usually around 2-ish

[bold kernel]

how

which map

[signal girder]

My personal favourite route is woods north/north-east

[rugged yacht]

nterchangus

[bold kernel]

ok so you bring a big boi backpack right

[bold kernel]

take a knife, go to interchange, go to the "OLI glass door" brake it with knife, run inside go up the stairs, to the right go to tech shop, take gpu, if no gpu run forward for 20 meters, go to RASMUSSEN tech shop, take GPU, extract, repeat

[signal girder]

If you're not a scav, yeah. Big backpack, some gun that can kill scavs and 3k roubles for the car on the bridge

[slow linden]

come with me on reserve

[signal girder]

but the numbers i gave were for scav runs

[bold kernel]

also WTF happened with tetrises

[bold kernel]

lmao shush I tried to get a gpu for 2h

[bold kernel]

ohhh you go in as a scav

[rugged yacht]

you probually died with like 14 gpu's

[bold kernel]

k

I had like 3 tetrises and they are worth less than a raw potato

[rugged yacht]

Hatchet running isnt good ive been telling people that

[bold kernel]

I found 0

[rugged yacht]

If you hatchet run your going to stay poor its not going to change anything

[bold kernel]

and I wasted my time

[signal girder]

Lol, have you met Dora in here?

that woulda been funny asf

[slow linden]

im telling you man

reserve with KS

[bold kernel]

I refuse to ks

I will never go that low

[rugged yacht]

Hatchet running literally makes people dislike you, you get bullied, and you stay stuck at 1.2m for the whole wipe

You make more money on labs than you do from hatchet running

[signal girder]

If only Dora were reading this^

[storm plover]

Prelim 12.10 patch notes came out. Wipe soon?

[rugged yacht]

why?

[slow linden]

he hatchet runs

[signal girder]

The dude hatchet ran and got tons of non-FIR tetriz's, then lost his mind when the btc barter nerf hit and was stuck at 60k stash value

was so fucking funny

[rugged yacht]

oh the same person who spent 600k on PKPM and has their stash value entirely composed of 2 redcards he found?

[slow linden]

no

[signal girder]

no

[rugged yacht]

someone in here was trying to say that PKPM is a good key because they found 2 red cards in it

[signal girder]

I kept telling him not to hatchet run interchange. He didn't listen and paid the price lmao

[rugged yacht]

thats like saying "gambling is good because i wont 200$

[slow linden]

I literally only hatchet run for quests

[rugged yacht]

^

[signal girder]

I at least bring a pistol

[rugged yacht]

People who hatchet run are also gear fear garrys

and have 6 slicks but never use them

its my first wipe and i pvp more than some of these level 60's

actually cringe

[slow linden]

unless its a kill ___ quest

I just hatchet run

[signal girder]

idk about that, Dora blew all of his hatchet running profits on chad gear and immediately lost it all

[rugged yacht]

exactly

[slow linden]

yea

[rugged yacht]

because he hatchet runs

and has no practice with real guns

[signal girder]

yep lol

[rugged yacht]

literally running an sksk

[slow linden]

I had a friend who spent 600k (the money he had) on one chad kit

died to a level 5 in factory

[rugged yacht]

will help u get more knowledge

I lose gera all the time

but it doesnt matter cause i survive most of my raids

[slow linden]

mfw when rat rig and KS-23

[rugged yacht]

If you kill everyone at the start you have all the loot to yourself

IMO learning player spawns is more important than loot spawns

[slow linden]

nonono!

ratting is supreme

[signal girder]

Imo, learning hot spots is the most important

[rugged yacht]

Ratting will have u slick altyn with a sa58 hiding in a corner having vietnam flashbacks

[signal girder]

not necessarily gear, just places where other players aggregate

[rugged yacht]

Ratting and hatchet running both cause gear fear

[slow linden]

wdym bro

[rugged yacht]

then those same people

[ornate steppe]

where do I buy AP 6.3?

[slow linden]

peacekeeper level 3

[rugged yacht]

say "I dont have gear fear i take out good gear all the time!" then hide in corners

[rugged yacht]

pk level 3

AP 6.3 pretty bad tho

[ornate steppe]

why is this used for a fucking starter gun then

[slow linden]

ammo is everything

[ornate steppe]

what other ammo can i use for the pp-19?

[signal girder]

Peacekeeper LL3. The wiki is your friend

[rugged yacht]

GT

just headshot people

[jovial bison]

is that normal? 😄

[rugged yacht]

your SMG wont kill people through a visor any ways

[edgy idol]

@edgy idol protip, go sit in d2 and bonk anyone coming to extract to get yourself some quick and easy gear

dont even need to be that good at the game 😎

[radiant edge]

Not fun for the other person.

[hard breach]

fun for the whole lobby

[radiant edge]

😐

[hard breach]

just get yourself some decent ammo and sit in a dank corner

attatchments shouldnt matter if you are shooting from prone

no recoil anyways

[radiant edge]

If he's new, I doubt he can get decent ammo.

[hard breach]

mhm

9mm leg meta?

[radiant edge]

What 9mm?

Pst gzh in a pistol ain't doing shit.

[hard breach]

pp19 lad

[radiant edge]

Does he have flea?

[hard breach]

idk

pp91 even

ive knocked kids wearing slicks and altyns with that

[radiant edge]

Which pisses them off.

[slow linden]

ik

[bold kernel]

Which way is the old sawmill

[slow linden]

the KS-23 is even better

[hard breach]

ks23 is god tier

[radiant edge]

Definitely for legs.

[hard breach]

shits stupid cause you dont even have to hit them with the whole shot

2 or 3 pellets enough to do the job

[signal girder]

Straight in front of you

[bold kernel]

ight

[signal girder]

idk why you'd wanna go there though

Unless you're schturman farming

[slow linden]

dude

I try to go stuman hunting for fun

[edgy idol]

@hard breach Lol wth is d2

[slow linden]

literally 30 secs into the raid he's dead

[signal girder]

Do you have your compass on you?

[bold kernel]

uh yeah that's not the way to the old sawmill that's the way to THE sawmill

am talking about this

[hard breach]

@edgy idol bunker under reserve

[edgy idol]

Okay, thanks. 😆

[hard breach]

free loot

[signal girder]

That's the UN roadblock area. Turn left

[bold kernel]

am a scav

[hard breach]

chad idiots dont check the corners cause they cant see out of their altyns

[signal girder]

Personally never referred to that as the old sawmill, but it seems like the sun is currently West for you (PM). Just walk in the opposite direction of the sun

If you want me to guide a stash run over a stream, I'd be happy to

[bold kernel]

yeah that would be nice cause this ( what I got from selling the loot ) does not look like 2 mil

[cosmic tinsel]

Sawmill is the callout I've always heard

Not sure if that means I'm agreeing or disagreeing lol

[slow linden]

alright fellas now we get to the important questions

is cheese a loaf of milk

[bold kernel]

no

[cosmic tinsel]

Can we keep it tarkov, generally

[slow linden]

alright fair

[bold kernel]

@signal girder k nvm have to do something rn

[ornate steppe]

why does scav reserve take so long

[slow linden]

everyone tries to scav on reserve

so it gets bogged down

[amber epoch]

Raider loot

[ornate steppe]

so its good to do scav on reserve?

[slow linden]

yes

[amber epoch]

Yes

[ornate steppe]

👍

i will do that instead of playing factory all day as scav

[amber epoch]

Yeah no don’t play factory

I mean

If you want to do a quick raid in between shit

Sure scav factory

But if you want to learn the game and get some money

Factory ain’t it

[ornate steppe]

i mean i get out with good shit every time like aks

and some keys

[cosmic tinsel]

factory is fun but its not super transferrable to "tarkov" except for cqb training

[amber epoch]

^^

[ornate steppe]

well every time I go on customs which is the other map I know I just get shit on by players in insane armor like I hit this guy 7 times once in the head and he didnt die :/

[cosmic tinsel]

you make your own fun in tarkov, and if thats all you want outta tarkov thats fine

but unlimited amounts of factory will never help you learn customs

[signal girder]

I'm tryna learn reserve. can someone tell me where the fat loot is in LFG reserve 15?

[slow tangle]

is it better to run the ks-23 over the mp-153?

[cosmic tinsel]

depends on how you wanna play

153 has longer tube options, is semi auto, and has a variety of interesting shells

ks-23 one shots legs

[shut kayak]

I have no fuckin clue what im doing

[ornate steppe]

I’ve been waiting for 10 min scav reserve :/

[cosmic tinsel]

pretty common - everyone wants to scav reserve

[amber epoch]

@ornate steppe be prepared to wait another 10 mins

It takes a while

[cosmic tinsel]

thats pretty normal in the early tarkov experience. we typically suggest either watching pestilys intro/raid series, offline modeing the maps to learn them, and/or scaving/pistol only runs as a pmc

[shut kayak]

I lost all my shit and I got the game about an hour ago lol I have a marksman rifle with 1 clip, no body armor or nothin I have not got a clue wtf I should be doin

[cosmic tinsel]

just takes time and practice to develop an understanding and feel for the game

we typically recommend NOT bringing all your gear into raid to start 😄

[shut kayak]

That's usually a good tip, but I didn't realise I had most of it on me I had loads of shit on me and I didn't realise, yikes.

[cosmic tinsel]

SKS and pistols are good starter weapons

[shut kayak]

Now I have no clue what to do to get weapons back.

[cosmic tinsel]

SKS in particular doesnt even need a magazine, you can bring a handful of bullets into raid and then top load it

[shut kayak]

That's literally my inv.

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, pretty common experience

the vepr hunter you have is fine, m80 is gonna be the ammo you'd prefer to use right now, but if you only have the tpz/bpz stuff that's... a bullet

probably wont go thru any player body armor

will kill a head though

[shut kayak]

Laments terms?

[cosmic tinsel]

the gun is a vepr hunter

m80 is a kind of bullet

so are tpz/bpz

[shut kayak]

yeah

yep

[cosmic tinsel]

m80 is good bullet

you may not have it

[cosmic tinsel]

because im a pedant i'd note this is "lay man's"

and right now you just need to get out there and experiencing (dying)

prapor is a vendor, he has a quest you should take

[shut kayak]

been through blood sweat and tears already

ill have a look

[cosmic tinsel]

and he also sells the SKS rifle

and PS ammo in 7.62x39

(please note - there is a ps ammo in 5.45 as well)

if you lose that gun, you can grab an SKS that will be similar, and bring like, 30 rounds in your pocket

[shut kayak]

I don't have body armour or backpacks, going into a raid is a suicide mission

[cosmic tinsel]

the body armor you had was meaningless to players

but you can buy more at ragman

and honestly, at your current skill level every raid could be described as a suicide mission

your goal should be figuring out the map, and what kills you

[unreal horizon]

eh that's not entirely true, most players will pen any armor so you're just going for scav protection

[shut kayak]

hm

so

whats the plan of action for me now?

[fallen cargo]

willing to help a new player whit the game poke me if intrested you must be age 18+

[cosmic tinsel]

one of the three things i recommended to start 😉

watch youtube, play offline, or do extreme budget kits

your goal is learning

[fallen cargo]

or do duos whit a better player and learn 1 run from him and afthere * times doing it try it your self solo

[cosmic tinsel]

that works too, but it can be hard finding players and also learning how to learn is important

i know you're volunteering, but we have 5 people that need help for every one of you

[fallen cargo]

i learn peeps and in my understanding doing ofline runs only learns yoiu the map but it dosnt learn you mapflow map kilspots loot spots time tabels

[fading violet]

So when is the 12.10 patch going live?

[fallen cargo]

beter is to just run games even as a naked it wil learn you more then doing ofline

[shut kayak]

extreme budget kits isnt an option since this hunter is my only weapon left

[unreal horizon]

you can buy them?

[cosmic tinsel]

you have 400k roubles!

[unreal horizon]

assuming you're not out of money in which case you should scav

[cosmic tinsel]

i mean i think we agree that its important to learn both maps and mapfeel. as long as they're getting those two things done in one way or another its good

[shut kayak]

yeah i do, but trying to buy is also a nuisance

[cosmic tinsel]

its another thing to learn, yeah

but i told you what to look for

[cosmic tinsel]

(hint: SKS and 7.62 PS ammo)

[unreal horizon]

check the fill items box at the bottom

then the deal button that will pop up at the top

[shut kayak]

thankyou

[rugged yacht]

use gl40

[unreal horizon]

make sure you're running those headphones

[rugged yacht]

no aiming needed

no movement needed either

no need to hide either

cause anything you look at and click dies

[unreal horizon]

incredible advice

[fallen cargo]

@cosmic tinsel yea but if you do it ofline lest say 10houres to learn customs map you stil wil need the same time in game to learn basick map flow (first5-10min ) of the game so wy not get a handgun(15k headset 12k and scave vest and have a cheap loud out and do it all online)

[cosmic tinsel]

to reiterate: the SKS is top loading - you can shove bullets into the top of the gun and you dont need to reload with magazines

[rugged yacht]

Killa GONE
Reshala GONE
Gluhar GONE

[cosmic tinsel]

please try to be helpful

[rugged yacht]

@cosmic tinsel GONE

@rugged yacht GONE

[unreal horizon]

thank's for the valuable input

[slow tangle]

What's a good scope for a bolt action?

[unreal horizon]

which one?

[cosmic tinsel]

absolutely, and thats how i learned. some people get scared of players tho, and they complain that they cant do quests or walk around because they get shot before they learn

thats why i leave that option on the table

[rugged yacht]

i just walked around l ike an idiot in online mode as if i did know the map

[slow tangle]

the mosin

[cosmic tinsel]

PSO for side mount, vudu for rail, PU for mosin

[unreal horizon]

there is only one option, luckily

easy to remember

PU will only go on a mosin sniper tho, not on the infantry version

[cosmic tinsel]

if you have an infantry sniper there are technically scope options but it will cost you more than just buying the sniper mosin

[fallen cargo]

@cosmic tinsel tis game isnt a game to learn solo fast it takes time eathere do like me play solo watsh videos and headstop tiol you make it or get som1 anny 1 to learn you 1 thin even if you get a random lvl 10 that just can run 1 map 1 way 30%of the time

[cosmic tinsel]

man i had a stroke reading this and we're both in the business of helpin players. im glad you're out there fighting the good fight along side me

[unreal horizon]

I have no idea what you just said. While this game is brutal to learn alone, that's the best way to learn it

[slow tangle]

that english tho

[fallen cargo]

in 1 year i playd over 2500houres the first 500 i suckt

[cosmic tinsel]

me too

i might still suck

[fallen cargo]

from 500/1500 i new what i was doing but stil

1500+ your good and can do what ever you want there is no substut for time in the game

[cosmic tinsel]

absolutely

we agree on so much my mans

[fallen cargo]

i never said we dint

[cosmic tinsel]

nice!

[cosmic tinsel]

you get squared away with your scope?

[slow tangle]

wdym?

[cosmic tinsel]

you were askin about a scope for a mosin riught

[slow tangle]

Oh yeah

[cosmic tinsel]

i was concerned bc i got sidetracked before i could bring up the kochetev->ring mount->scope sitch

its weirdly complicated for a pretty simple gun

[bold kernel]

I am playing eft, I was trying to play solo but a random guy (not from discord, from game menu) invited me

i hope he dont tk

[slow tangle]

Oh nevermind, tarkov shooter requires no scope

sad

[fallen cargo]

you wil died

[sage lance]

noooo, 90% you're gonna die

[unreal horizon]

he will

[bold kernel]

I did

[cosmic tinsel]

dont trust in game menu

[bold kernel]

i had nothing on me

[sage lance]

what'd you lose?

[bold kernel]

just a 16K gun

[unreal horizon]

let that be a lesson

[sage lance]

ah ok so not too bad

[bold kernel]

lost nothing

[fallen cargo]

my friend did it 1 time whit just a pistol joind a 4 man group and they kept him alive and playd proteckt the presedent

only time he dint get kild on sight

[cosmic tinsel]

factory has hilarious fight clubs

5 man group, everyone spawns in and immediately starts shooting each other

[bold kernel]

what if I look for group (in game menu) and when someone invites me I kill him??

?

[cosmic tinsel]

hes probably gonna do the same to you

[bold kernel]

I have fast load times

lets see

[cosmic tinsel]

doesnt matter

[unreal horizon]

lol what

[cosmic tinsel]

everyone starts at the same time

also like, dont be a dick?

[unreal horizon]

you all get the same countdown

[unreal horizon]

^

[sage lance]

you become the villan that bullies the new guy

[cosmic tinsel]

i was hoping to find all the other reasons not to, but thats the real reason

[shut kayak]

So anything I take on an Offline Mission, even if I die I wont lose?

[cosmic tinsel]

you cant lose or gain anything in offline

[shut kayak]

Sick

[cosmic tinsel]

you can learn the maps

[shut kayak]

Thanks man,

[ornate steppe]

Why not it’s escape from tarkov it’s a shoot on sight game

[cosmic tinsel]

and you can practice shooting scavs

[shut kayak]

Thanks man:))

[cosmic tinsel]

you got it

[bold kernel]

I just need 300xp to lvl 20

[cosmic tinsel]

factory

[bold kernel]

yes

I only play factory

well, mostly

factory and some customs

and interchange

Question. just started today and need someone to teach me basic controls. dm if u want to.

[slow tangle]

What's the cheapest bolt action?

[cosmic tinsel]

molot vpo 215 usually

it shoots 366tkm, but the ap rounds are good and cheap

[slow tangle]

oh yeah that one

i'll go get that

[cosmic tinsel]

i'd look at the keybindings in the settings menu for basic controls

[cosmic tinsel]

i love that one. it shoots a little slow, cant really use it out of 150 yards, but i love it

[viscid trellis]

can i play with anyone, i am lvl 4 and need some help

[bold kernel]

alright ill check that out, Thanks

[unreal horizon]

do that and head into an offline raid and just try to do things

see all the ways you can interact with your gun and your character

[shut kayak]

The exp counts tho right?

[fading violet]

nothing counts in offline

[shut kayak]

Yikes

[fading violet]

You dont get loot xp, anything

[bold kernel]

wdym yikes

[sage lance]

the guy probably did an offline run and expected to keep the loot and xp

[bold kernel]

Tarkov isn't an offline game lol

[craggy sapphire]

Hi

[bold kernel]

i want to learn a new map what map it should be?

the only map i know is customs

[unreal horizon]

i'd say reserve or interchange

[signal girder]

Hey, how's that farm comin along?

[winter plume]

Interchange outside caches. Easy money

[slow tangle]

The vpo is actually so fun, died to some random guy running into me thought, so sad

[craggy sapphire]

25 hours left

[cosmic tinsel]

completely agree. the suppressor is cheap, too

you're using 366 ap?

[slow tangle]

Yeah

[cosmic tinsel]

fantastic round

[slow tangle]

I think it's insane value for the money

Probably one of the best price to performance in game

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, it suffers for its platform. the 366 ak has a ton of recoil and no full auto

but the bullet itself is gret

i got one tapped by it early in the wipe and was like holupaminute

[fallen cargo]

willing to help new players whit the game you must be age 18+ poke me if intrested

[signal girder]

18+ oooh gettin spicy in here

he wants you to poke him

[craggy sapphire]

Doing a offline labs run

[signal girder]

offline labs is fun as hell

[craggy sapphire]

Ik

[ornate steppe]

when u pause in online does it pause the game

[craggy sapphire]

What question is that dude

[fallen cargo]

lol

[cosmic tinsel]

no

the only pause button is death

or laying in a quiet bush

while your wife asks you what you want for dinner

[signal girder]

hey everyone in the raaid, lemme pause the whole game real quick, i need to take a piss

[bold kernel]

yea bro i got you

[fair apex]

is it worth selling the Red Rebel at this point or keep it?

[bold kernel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIMpVunf5Co

time to take a pis

[sage lance]

bsg should pause every raid halfway through for a 10 min piss break

[tiny hound]

should i bring helmets at all?

[sage lance]

nothing could go wrong

[tiny hound]

level 15 682k roubles

[sage lance]

depends on helmet and map, on woods dont bother, customs and cqb maps maybe

visor is most important

[tiny hound]

how fucking nice i got a sugar and a paracord

paracord in a ground stash

and sugar in a dead stash

can't sell them on flea

cuz its not "found in raid"

what does this thing even mean

[cosmic tinsel]

if you want to use the cliff extract on reserve, keep it. otherwise, sell it

[fallen cargo]

found in raid means you got out of the raid whit the gear and dint died whit i

[small cairn]

Any tips on killing Killa?

[fallen cargo]

its to stop hatshlings runing for good gear died and sel it on the fleamarked

[cosmic tinsel]

found in raid is a status applied to all items in a map that were not carried in by a PMC. if you die with items in your secure container, those items lose found in raid status. if you get a "run through" on a raid, indicating that you left the raid before 7 minutes, or before you got 300xp, all items you extract with lose FiR status as well

[cosmic tinsel]

vepr hunter, m61, two tap face

[fallen cargo]

killing killa get a full auto (mp5 or m4....) then do a few ofline raid whit only scave bos on

then learn his spawn

[craggy sapphire]

I forgot to put my gun in full auto

[small cairn]

So you wouldn¨t say bringing eg a AK with BS/BP or 7n39 is better?

if I plan to also loot afterwards

[cosmic tinsel]

absolutely. if you're trying to just farm killa m61 is the move

[fallen cargo]

then at the start of evry gamer run like the wind to the spawn and hope you faster then the rest

[cosmic tinsel]

but what you're suggesting is valid, just more expensive

[small cairn]

btw

do sniper levels scale linearly?

Or does it require more exp as it gets higher?

[cosmic tinsel]

if memory serves, each progression is 10*[your current level]

im lvl 10 sniper, i need 100xp to get to 11

[fallen cargo]

if you wanne farm him 100times yea m61 if you are bit worse do a 50drum mag of 7n37 mp5 gun whit lazer and you kil him but more exspensif

[small cairn]

so I should wait till Im lvl 5-6

before I use mentor

is what you are saying

so I dont have to bother with psycho sniper

[cosmic tinsel]

1000%. mentor gives you 3 levels. SBiH gives you 1 level

[small cairn]

yeah that was the thought

I haven't unlocked m61 which is why Im kinda considering if I should do it yet or not

besides I just need it for jaeger

not the 100 killa kill thing

[fallen cargo]

then get m4 55a1

[cosmic tinsel]

oh if you dont have it unlocked absolutely do BS/igolnik/762BP

995

[small cairn]

I dont have a good m4 yet tho

[cosmic tinsel]

855a1 and 7n31 get sketchy against his class 5/6 stuff

[small cairn]

or wait

Is this any good

[cosmic tinsel]

no

thats the mechanic space trooper joint

[small cairn]

I got no m4 then

[cosmic tinsel]

its extremely valuable and extremely not great

556 MDR is reasonably priced and would work

[small cairn]

This is the ak that I have been using

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly a friggin great AK

[small cairn]

or plan to use rather

Stole it from someone I killed with an sks

and then I added a flashlight

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah i didnt realize you could get sub60 vert on an ak

[small cairn]

This is stats with mag in

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah that'd be good for the quest

[small cairn]

but it jumps al ittle in the stasrt

after that

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly killa is tough to get tho

[small cairn]

it is great for chest

[cosmic tinsel]

1. hes tough 2) chads are trying to do the 100 killa kills mission

[small cairn]

hmm

[cosmic tinsel]

3. hes right next to kiba, german, and rasmussen

[small cairn]

so maybe just postpone it?

and do it after I get m61

[cosmic tinsel]

just dont be wedded to your gear

lol

i went in naked with a PPSh and a drum mag

and leg meta'd him

[small cairn]

wedded?

[cosmic tinsel]

uhhh dont get too attached

because high death %

[small cairn]

oh wait

I got 37x m61

should I just attempt for killa with it?

some tier 3 gear for scavs+m61

[strong jolt]

not sure I have the full context but that AK is fine for going after killa

[ionic fossil]

ik this is stupid but im new just got the game today do you lose stuff in online raids

[strong jolt]

and meevo is right about him being contested. the way I did it was just rushing him immediately if I got a good spawn

he said online

[unreal horizon]

on fuck my bad

[strong jolt]

yes you lose stuff in online raids, not in offline raids

[ionic fossil]

i ment offline

[strong jolt]

lol

[unreal horizon]

if you die you lose everything

online you lose shit, offline you dont

lmao

[strong jolt]

glad we got that sorted

[trim aspen]

How to easily differ enemies and friends in coop mode?

[unreal horizon]

callout what you're doing

if you're pushing something say so

if you don't know you can ask them to jump, if they don't, shoot them

[small cairn]

Btw what should the vepr hunter have? Just a scope/something to make hitting headshots easier?

[unreal horizon]

i'd just go okp sight and a 10 rnd mag

[trim aspen]

Lmao my friend forgot my position in the woods, I saw someone and asked if that's him, he said he stopped right when the person stopped as well lmfao
I moved into that person's position and proned right next to him, only to get headshoted

[small cairn]

u dont think this is enough?

[unreal horizon]

i'd get a 10 round mag, more for players than killa, up to you

[cosmic tinsel]

10 rounder is best

[small cairn]

2x 5 isn't more safe?

[cosmic tinsel]

5 rounder will get you in trouble if you make any mistakes

i mean

[small cairn]

or is that too greedy

[unreal horizon]

if you're spending $$ on m61, get a 10rnd

[cosmic tinsel]

i'd bring 2x10

[small cairn]

[cosmic tinsel]

and potentially leave the 2nd 10 rounder in my alpha

dude you can SKS with BP too

theres options

[small cairn]

Ill try first with the vepr

since I have some bullets

[placid pivot]

is it possible to change your name?

[unreal horizon]

yup

[placid pivot]

where do i go

[limber notch]

Ik hatchet running and pistol running is frowned upon, but should I pistol run Big Sale task from ragman?

[unreal horizon]

of course

[placid pivot]

dont worry about what is Frowned upon

play the game however u want

[unreal horizon]

there's no problem hatchet/pistoling when you're questing

[placid pivot]

or when u need money thats what i do

if i dont have anything im not buying stuff

[limber notch]

Alright thanks, also quick question, if I visit a store and die, would I need to go back to it?

Or can I visit the others and extract

[slow linden]

iirc you only have to exfil once you find all the stores

if you die

its fine

[limber notch]

Thanks for your help guys

[turbid fog]

Okay so I’m very new at tarkov and pc in general and I want to enjoy the game but I die all the time and I’m not sure what to do

[craggy sapphire]

What laser is it that makes a red little ball?

[limber notch]

Use scav and learn customs 1st, thats what most ppl recommend and it does help you learn start to learn.

Also offline mode and online maps

[turbid fog]

Alright thank you. I’ve been running factory and getting killed within 8 second every time

[unreal horizon]

anything with an IR searchlight, just hit ctrl+T

[craggy sapphire]

k

[limber notch]

Factory isnt great for loot, its mainly for pvp. Customs is pretty intense sometimes but most beginner tasks are on the map

[turbid fog]

Alright thanks I’ll just practice there

[limber notch]

This is a pretty good map for customs

Learning the map and ectracts is a good way to start, and coming up with a loot route you feel comfortable with

[cosmic tinsel]

watch that southern middle part

you walk out the railroad tracks you die

we get questions about that like, once a day

[limber notch]

And dorms (upper middle)

Oh, yeah there are invisible snipers if you cross border where the skull is @turbid fog

[turbid fog]

Thank you should I just go in with the knife until my scav is done ?

[cosmic tinsel]

i'd suggest a pistol to let you kill a scav and take their clothes

[winter plume]

Yeah.. found that out on woods.. Saw some signs and was like oh whats this way. Boom headshot.

[cosmic tinsel]

assume their identity

raise their kids as your own

[turbid fog]

So if I have scav clothes on will other scavs shoot me?

[signal girder]

yes

if you're a pmc

[cosmic tinsel]

yeh

but its free rig/armor/gun

and its reasonable to take down a scav with a pistol

[merry flax]

But not if you're a scav?

[cosmic tinsel]

if you're a scav, you will only aggro other scavs if you kill a scav near them, or if they're a boss scav

boss scavs will give you a warning before shooting, unlike a pmc

[craggy sapphire]

Omg

That was so fun

I did a offline labs run

With a altyn and i just couldn't die

[icy bronze]

do any of you guys increase your gamma to be able to see people better at night without NVGs?

[sinful anchor]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/820496264747679744/824431369529983027/Screenshot_9.png

so who actually checks back here lmao

someone found slick m1a blackrock killa helmet mpx and m4

guess it was a scav hacker as there is no loot in that area

[cinder hound]

?

U dont think it could be insurance fraud

[cosmic tinsel]

i think he is mad that his insurance fraud attempted failed

i dont think "scav hacking" is really a thing

[cinder hound]

Tru

[craggy sapphire]

wtf

[formal robin]

lmao

[small cairn]

[formal robin]

I love finding loot like that 😄

[small cairn]

Nothing like stumbling onto loot in a random bush

[formal robin]

It's just like dropping loot ina bush I guess.

yeah hhaha

[cosmic tinsel]

i see bodies, i check corners nearby

[formal robin]

Found a trizip and motor / car battery at no bp extract aha

#beginners-chat 👀

[golden loom]

anyone know the chance for a korund to stop m61

cause i just fucking tanked a shot from somebody using it with very little damage to myself but my armor got fucked

[signal girder]

M61 pretty much ignores any armour

[sharp prairie]

M61 will 2 tap any armour in the game

[cosmic tinsel]

3.4% against full dura

[golden loom]

holy shit

i am one lucky motherfucker

[cosmic tinsel]

1.1% at 1 dura

yes you are

[grave cosmos]

I had a round of m61 get stopped by my 20 durability multi hit ballistic face shield lel

[cosmic tinsel]

1.6%

if you were curious

[golden loom]

me with everything else: shit luck

me in tarkov: gets a fucking ultra med key from 85k scav case, just so happens to remember the violet key spawn at checkpoint a random raid and finds it, has armor stop a bullet with 3.4% chance to get stopped

[craggy sapphire]

Just made the best gun ever

[bold kernel]

the mcx with 8 flashlights and -2 ergo is the best one ever

[lunar kiln]

if i sold a lucky scav junkboc for 1,474,000 roubles what is the tax?

[bold kernel]

you have one FIR?

[lunar kiln]

kinda im crafting

[bold kernel]

ah ok

weird, I checked tarkov market and the fee ain't there

[lunar kiln]

hmmm

[ivory ether]

wait do scav runs not give me player xp

[lunar kiln]

yes

no exp for pmc

[bold kernel]

no.

[ivory ether]

oh they have different xp trees then?

[lunar kiln]

welcome to the scav gang

no

scav have no exp

[bold kernel]

when you're a scav you have random levels etc
think of taking control of a random scavenger

and if you survive at the end you get to transfer the loot but nothing else

[ivory ether]

ah ok, i was wondering why i wasnt leveling up after a 1.7k exp run, gotcha

[humble galleon]

For the stirrup quest (Kill 3 PMCs with pistols for Skier), do you need to extract for the kill to count?

[bold kernel]

no

I did that quest a couple of weeks ago by waiting at the idea offices entrance for hatchlings to arrive but now it's only geared players there so you won't have much luck

[ivory ether]

also, whats a good map to start out with to just grind

[humble galleon]

i killed a usec in factory and i died after but it didn't count

[bold kernel]

customs

[ivory ether]

i mainly do customs at the moment but factory looks interesting

[bold kernel]

were you a scav

[bold kernel]

lmao factory is only for pvp

no loot and only a few ( 2-3 ) quests there

[humble galleon]

no i was a naked with a berreta

[haughty tulip]

You can do more than 2-3 tasks there

Like pistol kills, flashed pmc kills, etc

[bold kernel]

those are on any map
Am talking quests that require you to be on a map

so the repair quest
delivery from the past

etc

[haughty tulip]

They are "easier" to do there

Easier to some

[bold kernel]

rn am just tryna make cash

[haughty tulip]

Same

Those gpus ain't cheap
