I'm not goign to be running any snipers anytime soon lol
Especially since quests you really don't need one lol
Friend got head eyed by snb Mosin while wearing alytun
Fucking ammo costs more than the gun
i swear 90% of deaths are either m855a1 or m61
To be fair that's not abnormal
hate the meta rn
I run mdr most the and time and m855a1 shreddsssss
i dont like running meta
So good and a cheaper gun does the job too
@sick delta ezpz
i always go for off meta stuff that still works
run and gun only
more of a sniper boy myself
Finding a gun that works for you is the most important part
sniping works really well in a group
Especially on reserve
Have 1 guy running sniper on dome
And your whole team gets lots of knowledge
A good team with good communication on reserve is a loot fest
shit i play it solo and its a loot fest
only played this raid, not that good yet
Marked room is so cheap it's absurd
this is the same val like 2 raids ago
Literally made my money back in 1 run
This is my first wipe but I got the general idea
Haven't touched shoreline or factory yet
Sheesh
if u have questions
factory is mindless fun, shoreline is chill loot runs and some resort pvp if youre into it
only times i went there i was in a noob 4 man with little to no comm
thats not fun
not at all
"is that you"
you dont even know
🐭 ratJAM we loot ratJAM we scoot 🐭
Ibuprofen or goldenstar?
depends
golden star
gold star 200k rn
for me at least
Goldstar if u didn't buy it
its expensive af but damn its good
i use 9 and then craft with it
it last longer
but bring a lunch box
once u start using other stims
like etg
your energy goes fast
U guys think Kiba outlet key is worth?
yep
i get out with around 1 mil every time
get some stashes on the way out and youre golden
interchange is like the wild west right now id avoid it if ur new
with bitcoin so high
alot of chads
get a hunter with m61 and youre dropping chads left and right
Bitcoib 81k rn?
800 you mean
Wat
I need help completing some tasks
can anyonne help me
Was that an oopsie
eu?
bitcoin is like just under 800k rn
its 810k mate
to the rapist
nah
How do u guys sell bitcoin?
to the rapist
the rapist
Oh then i got 810k
im sure you just didnt see a digit
what tasks kali
Hello
Hi
I just started anyone want to help?
Like fresh?
Like fresh fresh lol
prepare yourself
Like 10mins playtime
youre entering a gangbang with no lube
This game is a shitshot at the beginning
game feels a lot like dragging your balls through broken galss
glass
in a good way
I have lol its kinda hard to even run past door lol
Well first of all watch some videos on Customs
I died in 16 seconds on first spawn
Try to find a group to play with and show you the ropes, it'll help immensely.
Your gonna want to learn that map first
offline raids are your friend rn
That being said try to work a little bit on playing solo in case your group mates die or you just have to play solo for a session. Play your scav when you can so you can learn the maps whilst making profit.
Go into offline customs raid and go explore the ma0
The wiki is your friend for maps and quest guides.
If your up for a challenge enable scavs which are basically AI
lol
Hahaha
I'm sure that are plenty of beginner tarkov guides that can help you out
way i improved my aim was playing customs with scavs on "as-online" diff and horde mode
me with 200h its still shitshot
It's a lot to take in so don't be too hard
Oi nice
I'm 100+ hours deep and managed to hit 17 mil
Already died
Don't rush things man
00.00.16
Learn first play later
you played factory i bet
holy shit what map was that
reserve or factory
Factory prov
Custom
landmines
welcome to Tarkov
lol
lol
wait
big red spawn i guess
My heart goes out to you.
Bad spawn I guess
yikes
or gas spawn
big red lmao
🐭 ratJAM we loot ratJAM we scoot 🐭
tf?
Keep doing offline raids on customs. U can't lose anything and you will learn the map and pvp better
pvp cant be learned that easily
lmao when i started i was so happy i managed to kill one scav
Lol
pvp is a whole nother beast especially this wipe

get a map up on your phone or second monitor
@toxic isle go offline and learn exits first man pull up a map on ur phone
I'm sure there are better videos but this one seems to explain it simpler terms
How you do offline?
geeks has a pretty good one although a bit outdated
click the offline box
<.<
Must of missed it lol
Until you get to a screen where it says offline raid
Enable that and tweak settings if u want
set scavs to horde mode
Oh gosh
horde mode and impossible yes
.>
your pc might blow up but its good practice
Lol
i remember when i started playing and id die by scavs
I kinda think thats already happening
i still die by scavs they are op
Beo can we get more beginners assistance chats
hiding in a bush just head eyes-ing you
Lol
Well hopefully I last longer than 10secs this time
mp-153 + AP-20 is a killer
tbh just sell them to mecanic
try going in offline with something you would use in a normal one
I got the 145 dollar version of tarcov lol
yeah you can get a nice little sks with ps ammo
^
pretty good that
So it gave alot of random stuff
sks god starting weapon
That gold one?
sell anything you wouldnt use to mechanic
what gold
buy a normal sks from prapo and 7.62 PS ammo
If you can screenshot it would be easier to help you
Finding a keycard on a scav is so satisfying
guns only dictate how the damage is dealt
facts
Well that's dumb lol
what is
I had like 4mins to get to extraction point
Well I did
i have on interchange
i might be wrong
Spawning with 40 mins on reserve scav be like
And you spawn in with an ak with 3 30 round mags. That's the scav dream right there
lol im used to it
if i hear wood or metal or tile glass whatever i basically know where u are at this point
Anyone want to walk me through customs lol
server?
na/eu/other
Do u live is us?
ur gonna die with or without me
Or somewhere in europr
cant help then sorry
Np
think of customs like this
Unfortunately I can't get on as of right now
he doesnt have a compass yet lol
lol
Lol
dony need compass for anything but woods
Fuck the west side tho. Has barely any loot and boring af
you dont need it after you learn the maps
if you spawn east you stay east
but while you learn it helps a lot
East I where you get your juice but your extract will always be on opposite side of map
Yeah but where are they lol
thought you meant for looting
Watch videos man
I haven't lasted long enough to get out
It's the easiest way to learn the game
customs loot sucks
I watched atleast 3 hours of videos and tips and stuff before I hopped in
zb extract is in the factory area in a bunker
zb11 and 12 are ont he far side
cross roads in down the road from big red tin
man explaining a map to someone who doesnt know the areas is hard
I dont think he knows what any of us are saying
It's like giving a 6 year old street address and expecting them to know where it is
i kinda used new gas as a landmark when i started
I use the main street
just wonderd around till i found it and then knew where to go
just go take ur ass whoopin
whats good budget armor to buy in the flea market
youll either learn or quit
what level @vital cloud
10
i meant the armor
oh
the armor rig
wat you mean
im using level 4 head and body armor
lvl 10 chainlink fence armour
if ur buyign armor to pvp u need tier 5 min
i use the tv rig rn but the 6b43 might be better for a level 10
tier 4 vrs scavs is fine
prob doesnt have prapor lvl 4 at level 10
lol
yea
when im level 10 i dont use armor
just focus on leveling ur hideout and venders
i just kinda used kirasa and a bucket for scavs and hoped i dont get tapped in the chest with some meta bullet
Korund overrated
yeah I usually just run soup bowl helmet and an armoured rig for scavs
2 or 3 bullets and your armor is gone
doesnt korund break from having pebbles thrown at it?
Basically
nah gen 4 isnt worth the extra 1000 dpi i need to set my mouse to
facts
Gen 4 if your broke af like me
lool 50 hps to 80
not even close
and slick barter is WAY cheaper
howe u think i got thick cases full
didnt know there was a barter
Durability isn't as important as it appears to be. At certain percentages, the armour will behave like it's a tier lower and lower pen bullets will start to penetrate the armour
yooo mans got twitch rivals armband
So a 40 durability slick will perform like a tier 3 armour and a 40 durability hexgrid will perform like a tier 5 armour
there ya go
hexgrid better even tho i didnt know that stuff
hex has 50
i think its % based
Slick barter is around I'd say 400k? I'm not sure on the dot
unless you're trying to tank more low pen bullets (e.g. from a vector), then the hexgrid will overall perform better for the price
not actually the amount of durability it has
130k for each trooper
I see
300k
I guess you can potentially get it down to like 300k
total
Slick and hex both good
hex is good but if u repair it 3x or more its a tier 5 armor
ez pz
M61 will penetrate slick or hex 93 percent of time
Never thought of that
new meta
m61 is scary shit man
i use fal alot
50 rounders of m61 full auto at anyone i see on labs
2.5k a pop for m61
i have boxes full of m61 and 995 lol
Basically, different armour materials will take different amounts of damage from bullets, so durability becomes much more complex. In this case, the slick (armour steel) takes around 1.5x the amount of durability damage than the hexgrid (UHMWPE)
Detailed guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltlm5s601tk&t=90s
Depends on ammo so it's kinda like a dice roll
tl;dr slick is very slightly better, but waaaay less cost efficient
9mm pst gzh to the face even more oof
or:
- vs worse ammo types, slick is better.
- vs better ammo types, hexgrid is better
slick is 300k with more life time if u can live in raids
hex is 450k
with less lifetime if u live in raids
yeah but considering how everyone has a bagillion roubles rn youre more likely to come against m855a1 and m61
close to the same protection
Shizukesa
DORA!
the durability doesn't directly translate to how many bullets it can tank. You need to take into account the material
:D
thats how gzhels get shreded in 2 bullets
bruh thats literally worth more than my entire stash
😦
No red = no impressed
Oh
Nice keys thp
geegee
We can do runs together
LABS!
isnt labs just a hacker fest rn?
Whoops my gun accidentally shot u in the head right after u opened the door
Depends
still best map
going labs u just know if u get aimbotted it is what it is
nothing u can do
sick map
yo anyone know what happend to the d batteries a couple days ago?
sold one for 80k
i \dont pick them up
i know theyre worthless now but
nothing is worthless when youre broke
roubles are roubles fuk it
im not THAT broke
a couple days ago there were literally no d batteries on the market and i sold one for 80k
i thought there was some new barter/craft
no idea
i have a friend that keeps me up to date on that shit but she hasnt been on today
anyone needs help on EU?
any tips for learning maps like woods?
offline mode
I have no where to put my stuff
lots of hidden stashes and stuff
dora sell it
What
ur stuff
But it is all worth keeping
lol
if youre eu i can helo
help
bruh
nah im na
all good
guns arnt really worth keeping
they are cheap
armor is worth the space and ammo
then crafting goods
and quest items
hideout items
sell everything else
i cant wait for the moment i can say guns are cheap
So i should sell guns
I won't sell my meta m4's tho
Can i use this in a m4?
nope
oof
I don't even have a single magbox
oh
that case alone is about 50 mil
i mean like in roubles 100mil
hey anyone know some good budget weapons for lower levels?
sks
sks
sks with ps ammo
7.62 ps that is
well yea but not that budget, ig
go akm with 762 bp
or ak103 i think is the meta for that weapon
ak103 is about 40k tho
he said not that budget
oh
im dumb
yeah ak103 with about 100k in mods should get you a sick ak
depends on your vendors but
i meant i'd be willing to pay more, as much as I like sks its a bit of a boring gun
what level are your venders
ammo is so much $$ if u cant get from venders or craft it
thats the main issue
atm im only level 12 so im more limited to lvl 1 traders, but i do have peacekeeper to lvl 2 and i have 12k usd
honestly at lvl 12 i wouldnt worry that much about mods
or mpx
last time i played i threw a lot of money into upgrades and such and i only have like 300k rubles
i like smgs, are mp5-sd's viable in this game by chance?
this would run you about 80k total
put the sight on the front rail not the far rail
on the bright side if i saw u had that id hide it for you lol
at least thats what i would do
yep
i like the other sites
honestly holden
i think i got this ak back at least 10 times
so worth for loot runs
i have a mosin with a tri-rail on it, it had a vudu but vudu seems so be really bad on it, should i put another sight on it?
tri rail is bad for zoomies
no?
use kochetov mount with rail on it
vudu/valday is perfect
if you have money for a vudu you have money for something better than a mosin
lol
the vudu came with the mosin
he is multiplying
zsdfgbhdfg
wtf

Prapor
prapor
agent prapor
IS going to watch you while you sleep
dont use scopes on the tri rail or whatever its called
i'll keep the vudu
use patriot rail
i wanna try the weaver on the mosin
Fuck
iron sight mosin or red dot
👏
change what raill the vudu is on though
Holy crap this game is hard lol
atm, i have a sr1mp, a 5-7, a mosin w/ bramit and weaver, a hunter, 2 op-sks, an ak-105, a 590a1, and assorted 9mm pistols
do you have flea?
ye
I really want to do a run
its not
With my as val
105 is 5.45
105 is 5.45, i have a bunch of scattered BS ammo i'll use with it
oh
do you have presets unlocked
i got it earlier today
what is that?
ak with bs or igoldick is decent gun i had a fun raid with oen today
oh also the sr1mp i have has a quad tactical mount but none of the sights i tried work well with it
ye
use that to mod its so much faster
sell pistols
shr1mp is good
i like pistols
right click the mosin and hit edit preset
i am an avid head shooter
nice
then send a screenshot of the mods
shrimp and 57 are worth keeping but the others arent that good
glock is ok now with 7n added
i like the other pistols w/ flashlights for night-time solo quest runs
@chrome needle can you right click the mosin and goto edit preset
yea
when im not trying to run into players and at least need help from scavs
i am
sight is trash
yea
oh boy the blurry dot
i like it
lol
it's the T sight
yikes
?!
get an mrs
almost anything is better than that tbh
whaa? i dont find it bad at all
oh boy thats a nightmare
this is good budget gun
yuck
meh, 'tis a free mosin anyway
should i hipfire people in this game if they are close - medium range i see alot of people doing it
mine seems much closer than that
whats the recoil on that
prob like 700
alot
lol
lol
its an ak lol
yeah im not expecting like 30 recoil but come on at least under 100
who can help me actually have fun in this game
yea its arouind 90
rpk is good
but its a single tapper
unless theyre in ur face
i dont find it bad at all TBH
@chrome needle sry but that sight sucks
you literally cant see heads if theyre more than 30m away
there is a reason its like 10k on flea
throw it in the trash
^
better than a cobra
no
mrs is like 18k and its soooo much better
cobras amazing
just dont put the cup on it
block vision
it literally gives ergo
yea it gives you ergo
i dont liek the cup on reapir either tho
u have it on front
yeah obv
?
it doesent block at all
its an amazing sight that gives you ergo
ill admit its a bit ugly but hey
i have 11650 USD to blow thru
the cobras isnt an eyecup tho
save it
its a shade
youll need 6k for a quest
i spent 60k dollar in last 2 days on 995 and m61
i will buy 30 mp5s
youll need it later
i hoard ammo that i never use
yo if you craft your ap ammo then hell yeah
no?
i destroyed a slick with it on interchange the other day
m4 fal mp7
anyone looking for help?
ah fal yes
338 best gun
bruh 70k a bullet
svd best price to performance
if youre not getting ap are you really using the mk18?
i fuck people up with fmj
i deleted all my fmj after i hit a dude 13 times and he didnt die
13 times
15 shots 13 hits
how
nope dont got it
i havnt tried the mk18 yet
i have like 40-50 round of lapua
the good one
give it to me
lol naw im use it at some point
will i lose the rivals arm band if i die with it
no
no
ok thank you
ok
i heard scavs can spawn with it
not armbands
i traded a ultra key for it when ultra was 8mil
had one spawn with a santa hat yesterday
true
I really want to do a labs run with someone but idk if anyone wants to do it with me xd
Perhaps
one mag costs around half a mil
id take u to labs if ur over 18
fuck that
oof
i bought lapua fmj every restock for a while
I don't have a mic tho
yikes
ran out of dollars
no one will play with you
how much pen does fmj have
:(
47
47
still good
ap has 79 lol
yes but ap is 60k
one tap any wallet mate
lol
every time i hear a mk18 i think to myself there goes 50k flying through the air
I can go get a mic but i don't really have one myself
u need a mic for this game bro
yes
especially labs
^
400k to enter just to get tked
nah hearing the game will just make you go "i thought he was behind me"
adding steam audio back soon
pog
yeee
lol once u learn where the wood sound is coming from ur good
good luck with that on woods or shoreline
mines just make it scarry
ive only stepped on a mine twice
just gotta learn the map
im done with woods quests
easy for me cause i didnt play woods last wipe
no reason to go back this wipe
theres some really good loot to be had
shturman
Okay
like 10m in a few hours
I can do a labs run myself later
stashes man
i honestly do not know how i made the money
i dont know them on woods
all i know is i didnt loot any stashes and i didnt get a rr
theres like 35 stashes on woods
i will only go labs once this wipe
insane loot
cause fuck that map
id learn them if someone would show me
once for the guide and never again
but im not walking around with a map
labs is my main map after i get kappa
so fun
need kappa to keep ammo for when i die
or its too $$$
u can go budget
with ks23 and shrap 10
one shots raider in legs close range
and pmc
go with cheap armor tier 4
decent zero to hero kit
no helmet
and buy the labs cards from the rapist on reset
200k
full run for 300k total
and u should make min 1 mil if u live so if u can manager to survive 1/3 youre profitable
why are the servers in this game so fucking shit
its not the servers
nah it is I have perfectly fine ping in every other game
oh boy here we go
good ol' net code topic
unity 2019
i actually payed 45 dollars for a unity game
😐
and?
the reason people are rich is because they manage their money good
spending 45$ on a unity game isnt a way too
yep
might as well deal with desync like everyone else
just peek everyone first and u win
idk I think they should fix their actual game before working on more maps
just my opinion
not the same people working on those 2 things
This hasn’t been fixed for 4 years
the map designers that are working on maps wouldnt work on backend server stuff otherwise
Jeez
nah its 2017
u shoulda seen it before
keep in mind theyre an indie company based in russia
this is fixed
not the easiest of situations to be in
Tried that
4 years ago you would have the same problems and also have 10fps on top of that
yup
Good idea this game is so fun but if the developers are going to take a massive steamy stinky shit on their game and not actually make it playable then idk
this game is the best when its going good
but its playable
they are trying to fix it
not like they've completely ignored it since the games release
was way worst before
they dont have bagillions in budget like AAA companies
why is the shadows in reserves just black?
i mean tarkov > anthem
underground is normal
