polar harness
#

yeah but for beginners m80 works just fine

smoky wing
#

Arguable

proven saddle
#

against scavs

#

maybe

lusty matrix
#

I used a vepr once. Never saw it again when I died

crisp nest
#

depends the map imo

smoky wing
#

I would say m80 was great few wipes ago

proven saddle
#

well yeah youre not gonna bring a hunter on factory

crisp nest
#

like you can kinda know what armor you're going against

smoky wing
#

@proven saddle why not lol, i do

sharp ridge
#

i am not going to factory f that

crisp nest
#

yeah i like it on factory

polar harness
#

i never use expensive ammo on snipers cuz i'm trash so i either hit a headshot or die so m80 works for me lol

smoky wing
#

Its the most compact 7.62 u can get

proven saddle
#

oo hunter gamer i like it

crisp nest
#

with a red dot on hunter its nice

smoky wing
#

U just put 10 round mag

proven saddle
#

i use elcan scopes

crisp nest
#

factory, cobra sight, 10 rounder with m80 or m61

smoky wing
#

And dovtail scope

crisp nest
#

i use m80 cuz i have a lot

trim aspen
#

Why is Golden (Star) Balm expensive?

proven saddle
#

one of the best painkillers

smoky wing
#

@trim aspen longest painkilling effect in the game

crisp nest
proven saddle
#

and you can craft with it

polar harness
#

cuz that's the flea for ya

smoky wing
#

Goldenstar gives u 350s

trim aspen
#

Thanks

polar harness
#

like sugar is damn expensive too just because of the moonshine

smoky wing
#

Its also the only painkiller in the game that takes energy hit instead of water

proven saddle
#

inflation is a real thing kids

polar harness
#

and i have 3 sugars that are not found in raid what a waste

proven saddle
#

craft with them

smoky wing
#

And food is much easier to come by in raid

#

Compared to good drinks

polar harness
#

yeah i still don't have the thing for moonshines still gotta wait 12 hours

proven saddle
#

i always have an aquamari on me

#

its just 20k

smoky wing
#

Yeah but still

polar harness
#

you guys buy food?

smoky wing
#

Goldenstar also crafts propitals

crisp nest
#

^^

sharp ridge
#

According to the bullet spreadsheet M80 is preddy good

smoky wing
#

Its pretty meh right now

crisp nest
#

m61 is better

proven saddle
#

not against slicks and airframes

smoky wing
#

Nah airframe is not an issue

proven saddle
#

and 80% of the players you run into have em

#

so

sharp ridge
#

excuse me do i look like i am a chad and shit

crisp nest
#

helnets dont really do much

smoky wing
#

The thing is

#

M80 is not a 1 shot kill to altyn

#

Or any level 5 helmet

proven saddle
#

got saved by a damn ulach once so

smoky wing
#

M80 also gets tanked by level 5 armour

proven saddle
#

i mean

crisp nest
#

well i use vepr cuz of it's fire rate

crisp nest
#

the class doesnt matter too much

smoky wing
#

Its not the class

proven saddle
#

im not sure how ricochet works

smoky wing
#

Its the protection area

polar harness
#

it does if you meet a dude with pistol ammo

#

xD

crisp nest
smoky wing
#

Like it or not ulach is the best level 4 helmet without a faceshield

crisp nest
#

it is

proven saddle
#

do you still take damage?

smoky wing
#

Yes, blunt

crisp nest
#

yeah i think 1 blunt usually

proven saddle
#

cause it left me with 1hp to the head

smoky wing
#

Depends on the round

polar harness
#

and you can't see anything for a fraction of a sec

proven saddle
#

saved me big time

smoky wing
#

@proven saddle then the round penetrated

#

But didn't kill you

polar harness
#

yeah

proven saddle
#

well then

proven saddle
#

m80 sucks

smoky wing
#

You probably got tapped by mp7

crisp nest
#

@gritty idol u down now?

proven saddle
#

he had an sr with m80

polar harness
#

i have a question when you survive with 0 hp in you thorax does that mean that it hit 0 because of a bleeding or what?

smoky wing
#

@polar harness yes

crisp nest
#

bleed yes

smoky wing
#

And only bleeding

polar harness
#

cuz the other time i survived with 0 in my head and thorax and i was chocked

crisp nest
#

yeah u can

proven saddle
#

died to barbed wire once because of that lol

smoky wing
#

Yup

wise harness
#

sum1 go to labs with me ?

strong talon
#

how do you calculate damage?

smoky wing
#

Any further damage to thorax or head will kill you

#

@strong talon take the damage of the round and the penetration

proven saddle
polar harness
#

and you can't even restor your thorax

strong talon
#

I mean just straight flesh damage when you hit an unarmoured body part

proven saddle
#

yep

polar harness
#

google it

smoky wing
#

Round upon penetrating gets damage reduced by 0 to 20%

proven saddle
#

i just learn how many bullets it takes to kill someone with each time of armor

strong talon
#

I tried but the wiki doesn't seem to explain flesh damage anywhere unless someone can link me

smoky wing
#

Depends on the level or armour and penetration

#

quick example

strong talon
#

and a blog post I found seems to be outdated according to what someone was telling me

#

yeah victx im trying to calculate damage to legs :P

smoky wing
#

Let say u have 40 damage 55 pen round

#

Oh legs

proven saddle
#

damage to legs is literally just flesh damage

smoky wing
#

Then just straight flesh damage

strong talon
#

yeah the armour damage is explained on the wiki but it doesnt explain flesh damage fully

smoky wing
#

Here how it works

#

Any damage to blacked out limb

#

Distributes the damage across all other "healthy parts"

proven saddle
#

when limbs are blacked the damage spreads to every other body part

strong talon
#

and there's a multiplier right?

smoky wing
#

Leg has 1x multiplier
Stomach 1.5
And arm 0.75

strong talon
#

ahhhh that is interesting

proven saddle
#

basically aim for the nuts with quakemaker and theyre dead

strong talon
#

so you can just calculate it with 440/round damage?

proven saddle
#

or rip rounds

smoky wing
#

@strong talon usually yes

toxic isle
#

Anyone want to join me NA

strong talon
#

yeah im trying to help my friend get stirrup 🤣 hes taking a glock with the big mag and quakemakers 🤣

smoky wing
#

Lol just go reserve

#

Go to RB BK room

#

And kill hatchet runners

#

Or interchange

proven saddle
#

i just did it on factory with a friend with star rounds

smoky wing
#

Quest done in 2 or 3 raids max

#

U can also pistol run with 7n39

#

And tap heads

proven saddle
#

also reserve hatchlings are rare now form what ive seen

#

since tetriz nerf

smoky wing
#

Might be

#

But interchange still doing strong

proven saddle
#

oh yeah

#

thats how i got my nade kills lol

#

shoot the legs and yeet a nade

#

ez

strong talon
#

yooo it's 0.3 seconds to kill with quakemakers in a glock 18C assuming perfect accuracy

proven saddle
#

yeah its crazy

#

try rip rounds too

#

83 damage or something like that

strong talon
#

quarter of a second to kill with perfectly accuracy

#

according to wiki 9x19 rip is 102 damage :| thats not fair

proven saddle
#

ok well nvm

#

even better then

#

but you gotta go for legs

prime iris
#

does crafting more stuff at once in the hideout use more fuel or is it just on uses it, off doesnt?

proven saddle
#

same fuel usage

prime iris
#

thanks

proven saddle
#

craft as much as you want

inland pelican
#

been trying to get jaegers camp and return letter to mechanic....always get killed before extract.

proven saddle
#

camp in a bush

#

and avoid high traffic areas

#

if you get shot at break line of sight

#

you should be fine

strong talon
#

yeah I hold off on crafting until I can do something at each station to save the fuel

proven saddle
#

you can craft without the power on

small cairn
#

@prime iris Btw if you don't have bitcoin farm, then you can start crafting something and then turn off power

proven saddle
#

just takes a long ass time

strong talon
#

really alex???? I never knew that

proven saddle
#

ye

polar harness
#

the bitcoin farm is rigged the time doesn't work as it should

strong talon
#

damn thats awesome I am definitely gonna start doing that, I only ever make salewas when i find hemos thats pretty much it lol

proven saddle
strong talon
#

ohhh so its a cheat 🤣

proven saddle
#

its not

#

itll take like 10 hours for a salewa

#

but it works

#

but i mean if you have the btc farm theres no point in ever turning the power off

small cairn
#

does it even work without the generator think

proven saddle
#

the farm, no

#

crafting yes

jagged salmon
#

can anyone help me complete the find hidden water in dorms task for therapist?

proven saddle
#

cant come with you but i can give you some tips

jagged salmon
#

i'm probably going to die if no one goes with me lol

proven saddle
#

go at night

#

hide in a bush for 10-15 mins

#

and then go get it

jagged salmon
#

ok

proven saddle
#

bring food and water just in case

#

peas are pretty cheap rn

strong talon
#

I move so slowly dorms was empty by the time I got there

proven saddle
#

yep thats the way

cosmic tinsel
cosmic tinsel
small cairn
#

Isn't 1 airfilter like almost 400k? worrysweat

crisp nest
#

maybe 4

wind gulch
#

i've just checked, it is like class 5,5 lol

crisp nest
#

what no air filter 40k

wind gulch
#

good to run imo

cosmic tinsel
#

the one that you use in your hideout

crisp nest
#

o

cosmic tinsel
#

or nuclear

crisp nest
#

sorry i thought u meant the air filter like the green one

cosmic tinsel
#

whatever. big white

proven saddle
cosmic tinsel
#

thats the one

proven saddle
#

450k rn lmao

#

any tips on how many gpus i should get?

#

like sweet spot between price and farming time

cosmic tinsel
#

theres a yield curve on the wiki

proven saddle
#

ye but i meant like

cosmic tinsel
#

more is always more profitable

#

but it depends on how much longer you plan to play for this wipe

proven saddle
#

when does one extra gpu start not making sense financially

cosmic tinsel
#

and how many times a day/week you'll check the farm

proven saddle
#

well im def gonna get 50 at some point but thats not affordable rn

cosmic tinsel
#

yeah

#

1 is the fastest return

proven saddle
#

i pretty much play daily so

cosmic tinsel
#

50 is the most income

#

the sweet spot is really dependent on what you see in that chart

proven saddle
#

yeah but at that point you get your money back in like more than a month

mighty shoal
#

about 15 is good

#

you get about 2 a day

cosmic tinsel
#

absolutely

#

you can shoot for break points

#

going from 49 to 50 pays for itself in like 4 hours tho

#

compared to 2.4 days for the first

proven saddle
#

fair

#

ty

cosmic tinsel
#

its complicated math unfortunately

proven saddle
#

also is it worth crafting the gpus? from what i gather you can get em at about half the price but it takes 3 days

unreal horizon
#

considering fuel is 150k for 24 hours it's still worth it

#

like technically it's worth it, but isn't worth the time for me

proven saddle
#

i mean generators gonna be running anyway

unreal horizon
#

the margin is so slim i'd just do 1 more raid and buy it

reef prairie
#

what else are you crafting in the intel?

bold kernel
#

Hey...... I just joined the server and am looking for a hand. I recently got a gaming PC and really want to try Escape from Tarkov after seeing Stonemountain play it so how do I get the game?

proven saddle
#

right there

proven saddle
#

click on preorder

#

choose whichever one you like

bold kernel
#

Thank you all, I will take a look. (I seen the pre-order thing but that confused me because the game has been out for a while now has it not?

proven saddle
#

open beta

#

its technically not "out"

#

although it has been for like 4 years

bold kernel
#

Ok.... a bit like PUBG then when it first 'came out'.

proven saddle
#

yep

bold kernel
#

Forgive my ignorance but what are the stashes?..... I see the different options for buying the game all have different stashes.

proven saddle
#

like extra gear or other types of items

#

like a chest in minecraft

dawn geyser
#

Nono

#

Stashes are all over each map

proven saddle
#

hes buying the game mate

#

looking at the options

dawn geyser
#

Oh I see

#

Forgive me Best

proven saddle
#

🙂

dawn geyser
#

If you're considering getting the game, I would recommend you buy cheapest option first

#

You can always upgrade later on

proven saddle
#

true

dawn geyser
#

(Unless there's a discount right now)

bold kernel
#

and if I get one of the cheaper options just to try the game out and see how I find it can I purchase the stashes and whatever else I am loosing out on at a later date or is it now or never for that stuff?

dawn geyser
#

You can always upgrade later on

proven saddle
#

you can upgrade at any point

#

you just pay the difference

bold kernel

I don't think so not right now

proven saddle
dawn geyser
#

The game does go on sale pretty often though

proven saddle
#

its a bit expensive but

bold kernel
#

Well I think I am all set..... thanks for all your help and no doubt you will all be killing me in Tarkov soon 😂

dawn geyser
#

Not sure your level of knowledge on this game but, just an FYI you will have a bit of a harder time joining mid-wipe

#

Just be prepared to die =p

proven saddle
#

a lot

shell sable
dawn geyser
#

No.

proven saddle
#

you dont really make a lotta money off of killing players

dawn geyser
#

Just no.

proven saddle
#

also altyns and other faceshields exist

dawn geyser

I'm not going to waste time arguing with people like you

#

First line was referring to the levels

near plover
#

i dont go night

shell sable
dawn geyser
#

I'm done talking to you

#

You came off as a Grade A asshole

proven saddle
#

problem is you shoot like once every 0.5 seconds while you get lasered by an hk shooting 800rpm

cunning dragon
dawn geyser
#

Oh, also you should sell tags over level ~50ish

#

Just because sell value is much higher

proven saddle
#

each level is 360 roubles

dawn geyser
#

Remember when dog tags were like 50k each haha

proven saddle
#

oh boy

#

remember when btc used to be 100k?

dawn geyser
proven saddle
#

good times

dawn geyser
#

Remember when you could wear a tactec and gen4 at the same time haha

proven saddle
#

remember when seeing a gen4 was a big deal...

dawn geyser
#

haha Now you just leave it because it's stinky

proven saddle
#

you just turn into a big turtle

#

Why is buying a thicc weapons case cheaper on flea than bartering for it think , is it because people sell the one that they get from "perfect mediator"-quest?

bold kernel
#

idk the barter for it but it could also be that the items for the barter are used for diff things / barters that are more expensive

proven saddle
#

im guessing its because of the marked rooms

small cairn
#

but it can't be stored in backpack tho

bold kernel
#

how much are wcases on flea rn

small cairn
#

13,5 mil

bold kernel
#

the barter isnt more expensive

small cairn
#

it takes 20 btc

bold kernel
#

thats the shitty barter

#

the barter is 8 motors 15 wires 4 broken lcds and 1 aesa

small cairn
#

I forgot to mention it is thicc one

bold kernel
#

or 10 moonshine 10 vodka 5 slickers

small cairn
#

normal wcase is 8 mil something

bold kernel
#

that changes everything

#

its because the bitcoin bull wasnt calculated into the barter

#

prolly

#

i would keep it if u got one tho

small cairn
#

I was thinking of getting one more

bold kernel
#

if u need the space do it

#

but u can always just get icases for 2mil

#

thicc case barter is 21.5mil i think

celest sage
wind gulch
#

weapon case 1,8m? is this 2020

celest sage
#

Guess so

smoky wing
#

@celest sage maybe on your modded server

#

Wcase is 8.5m on flea right now

celest sage
#

Why would you buy from flea tho it’s a scam

#

Mechanic moment

smoky wing
#

Why would u buy it at all

#

Its bad

celest sage
#

It’s nice

smoky wing
#

And dunno which "barter" is 1.8mln anyway

#

U mean aesa?

celest sage
#

One of the hardest things for me to learn in this game is that cases aren’t for space saving they’re mostly for sorting when it’s not early game

#

Ye

smoky wing
#

Its 3mln

#

Aesa alone is 1.8k

#

1.8m*

celest sage
#

Yeah and the rest is like 300k total

smoky wing
#

Ah yeah, thought its 15 motors

#

Still, 2 mln for a case like that? Would rather pay a little bit more for item cas

celest sage
#

Yeah I usually just buy em when I get aesa non fir

smoky wing
#

Makes sense, cuz aesa not fir is kinda useless when u maxed

#

Unless u rly want that tactical sword lol

celest sage

I want it very bad but haven’t done chumming

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Quests, both player-given and dynamically generated, are intended to be a large part of Escape from Tarkov.
There are currently 203 quests in Escape from Tarkov. Some require you to pick stuff up for certain traders, while others require you to kill other operators or mark vehicles and specific places.
Quests are the fastest way of gaining EXP. ...

so no supressor then?

barren spoke

I mean it's good but dont waste your money on it if you cant afford it

#

Buy a SV-98 load it up with SNB and snipe

rose rock

svds with 7n1 good too?

#

found it on ascav run, pennies werent wasted xd

silver hornet
#

I'd rather run an SVD with SNB tbh.

unreal horizon
barren spoke
#

But they're expensive asf

#

Running SV-98s's go for 40k

silver hornet
#

7N1 you might have a chance to one-tap some class 4 guy. But SNB will two-tap a chest regardless of armor.

barren spoke
#

It'll black it out and have your target running, if anything bring a side arm if you can afford it too

silver hornet
#

I'd always bring a sidearm while sniping imo

barren spoke
#

1911 and the Five Seven are good choices but expensive for ammo

silver hornet
#

Five-SeveN with SS190 is a good choice

barren spoke

That's a solid 70k if not more if I can remember

then yeh go with that if you can afford it

balmy vault

if ur running ap just dont and use a diffrent gun

barren spoke
#

AP on 9x19 is garbage unless the gun shoots 900+ rpm

#

And if you can hit your targets

#

Better of using 7n31 for results but its expensive

rose rock

from what i been running the ghz is good enough if the mpx is a lser beam like the mp5

and recoil goes for the head

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Pst gzh?

Or pso?

balmy vault

imo 0 point in running 9mm rn

ghz

balmy vault

if u can buy ap for a reasonable price u can use other ammos that are better

or just buy m80

vectors and other 9mm were better early wipe when noone had good armor and helmets wernt altyn every raid

now if u want a fast smg use mp7

Or just run AK's with ps and BP

M4's are more modable then AK's and are more expensive, ig the same can be said about the AK's but imo I think AK's are your best bet if you want affordability and damage but people think differently

Yeah fair, but if you pick bear it shouldnt be a problem

balmy vault

stock aks are worse then stock m4s

anyways

but with the ammount of rails built into m4s its easier to make them usable at level 10

no

Flea market items are way cheaper than on traders but you have to look carefully

Ammo one of the most important things to consider in this game. I'm not kidding when I say someone could tank 50 shots if you're using bad ammo. 🙂

It's not a bad ammo, not the best either though.

Have you seen the ballistics wiki by any chance?

silver hornet
# bold kernel is there any info out on the new ammo that is coming

5.56 SSA AP is a tungsten-carbide sabot round instead of a tungsten-core round like M995. Will probably have better penetration than M995.
5.56 MK 318 is an open-tipped hollowpoint, so probably similar stats to Warmage.
7.62x39 MAI AP I don't know too much about but I believe it's probably safe to assume that it's going to be better than 7.62x39 BP.

trim aspen
idle bluff
#

A handful of the scav bosses and raiders can survive a shot to the head if you're using a low-performance round, but it was likely desync on your end.

Np. I would expect MAI AP and SSA AP to be FIR only, just like M993, 7N37, etc.

is that SSA AP is just a round that some company in the US makes

Not even adopted or widely used

My first goal was to reach level 10 to open the flea market, I do it by finishing tasks, I level up quite fast that way.
My second goal was to upgrade my hideout stash, therefore I collect high-value fast-selling loots and sell them at flea market.
My third goal currently is to buy a keytool to get better loots from raids and to buy scav junk box so I can play more rather than managing my stash all-day-long.

So I'm trying to figure out how to level strength efficiently. I've been told the best way is to stick a military battery and go for a run. The thing i'm confused about is why in game it says my strength leveling is decreased (1%/2%)

Anyone have a fair explanation?

trim aspen

If you spam things to level up your skills, the game will reduce the efficiency for minutes, it will be back to normal again, I'll fetch the link
