ok thx for the help

#

i cant even find jaegers camp

#

xd

nimble gale
#

ya im still completely lost when it comes to ammo

#

ya i used the map and pics

#

its not easy to find at first

ember pendant
#

Normally higher pen ammo is better than higher flesh damage.

bold kernel
#

oh shit hole in the fence is a brutal extract

ember pendant
#

As a general rule of thumb atleast. If you check out the ballistics wiki page it even has a chart letting you know how what armors it pens and how many thorax shots it'll take to kill.

craggy sapphire
#

Anyone willing to do a stash run on woods geareed?

final rapids
#

Imagine having gear

nimble gale
#

i have money not gear

final rapids
#

Aks naked backpack>

nimble gale
#

i do a scav run to make money to do a pmc run to die

#

and rinse and repeat

final rapids
#

A mosin sells for a lot right

unreal horizon
#

not really

ember pendant
#

Not as much as it use to when it was required for tasks. Since they changed it to boltys instead of mosin it dropped the price. Still like a 30-50k gun normally.

bold kernel
#

pestily makes it seem so ez xD

ember pendant
#

That's what 5 years in a game does 😄

#

Also he has a beast of a PC.

nimble gale
#

ya them streamers make it look easy and im over here getting head eyes with out even knowing where i got hit from

bold kernel
#

haha

#

first game

#

here we go haha

halcyon willow
#

go get em!

nimble gale
#

if you want to learn woods later i can help

#

i know it ok ish but im in no way good

final rapids
#

Is this thing rare

bold kernel
#

YES

#

no*

final rapids
#

Got 25 uses so it must sell for a lot

bold kernel
#

it is

#

but its not "rare"

#

they're tons of the flea market

final rapids
#

Eh oof

bold kernel
#

but its one of the better keys.

halcyon willow
#

its about 60k I believe currently

unreal horizon
#

that the bunker one or a crappy one?

craggy sapphire
#

Keep it ngl

halcyon willow
#

@cosmic tinsel will definitely know the answer

#

he sort of lives where that key leads

bold kernel
#

60K tf u on Fin

#

isn't that the 200k key?

halcyon willow
#

is that no the RB BK key?

cosmic tinsel
bold kernel
#

no no

craggy sapphire
#

NO

bold kernel
#

he has RB-PKPM

#

its 200k

unreal horizon
#

its either 60k or 800k idk if its bunker or not

ember pendant
#

That's basement marked room key

craggy sapphire
#

Oh

bold kernel
final rapids
#

Does that mean run home

cosmic tinsel
#

its terrible

halcyon willow
unreal horizon
#

hehe

bold kernel
#

is that the reserve mark room

ember pendant
#

its the underground one, yea.

bold kernel
#

ah

ember pendant
#

Added with the tunnel update.

#

VO / BK are the ones uptop

final rapids
#

So its good?

nimble gale
#

200k is 200k right

ember pendant
#

Meh, it's like any other marked room key IMO

#

yea, 200k is 200k xD

cosmic tinsel
#

pkpm is a good key to fir but its the worst key i've ever bought

#

its not a normal marked room

#

its a glorified gun spawn

#

never found anything nicer than a hunter in there

ember pendant
#

I've found lions in there.

craggy sapphire
#

MEevo

#

Wanna do a woods run?

bold kernel
#

bruh the No backpack equipped extracts are too much brutal like imagine you just kill a pmc loot him get great loot and suddenly nah fuck the loot drop the backpack and extract

ember pendant
#

I've seen people pull keytools. I just assumed it shared a loot pool with the rest of them.

ember pendant
bold kernel
#

welp

#

im pretty sure axel is winning this

cosmic tinsel
bold kernel
#

you say that

cosmic tinsel
#

no container chance

bold kernel
#

1 run and thats triple the key amount

halcyon willow
#

that's pretty lame for a marked

cosmic tinsel
#

i mean look you make money with the key

ember pendant
#

Ah, thats lame 😦

halcyon willow
#

i kinda see why you go the toilet

ember pendant
#

Wonder why its 4x the price of VO/BK then.

cosmic tinsel
#

but you're better off just farming the raiders, and then doing vo or BK

#

gotta be supply

ember pendant
#

Yea, must be.

cosmic tinsel
#

i hit vo and bk every time and i routinely skip pkpm even when im doing d-2

ember pendant
#

I could see that.

craggy sapphire
#

Wait

#

I can'¨t buy the santa hat anymore?

#

:(

ember pendant
#

I mainly check that area for intel and loose tech loot near the switch.

cosmic tinsel
ember pendant
#

If someone has one that is FIR from christmas, sure you could Killa.

craggy sapphire
#

Okay

cosmic tinsel
#

got like 3 beards 3 hats ha

ember pendant
#

It's just getting more expensive and rarer as time goes on.

bold kernel
#

big man general sam has a collection

craggy sapphire
#

Oh

bold kernel
#

hes keeping them until the end of time

craggy sapphire
#

It looks sic

#

sick

bold kernel
#

i mean i still dont get why someone wants it

#

it might

#

but what benefit is a white ass beard

cosmic tinsel
#

humor

ember pendant
#

Memes

bold kernel
#

where is better loot in labs or in reserve

cosmic tinsel
#

at a certain point money doesnt matter and you might as well do the things thats funny

cosmic tinsel
ember pendant
#

Why would someone want a jackolatern helmet that gives no head protection and shoots light out of it. Memes is the only reason.

bold kernel
#

wanna know the funniest thing to do on tarkov

#

donate your bank balance to me

cosmic tinsel
bold kernel
#

okey thank

smoky wing
#

@ember pendant its spoopy

ember pendant
#

lol, Have you tried doing that with 5-7 flashlights?

#

Then using a thermal behind it?

cosmic tinsel
#

yep lol

#

no thats filthy

ember pendant
#

I can find screenshots, but It's crazy OP

#

They can't see shit and you have perfect vision.

craggy sapphire
#

Missing anything?

#

Btw i am dora i just changed name for some reason

bold kernel
#

oh ok

#

i remember u

nimble gale
#

that looks like a real player set up to me

bold kernel
#

that looks like a player run that i will never reach

#

thats disgusting @ember pendant

#

thats nearly on par with extract camping

#

poor souls

nimble gale
#

i hit lvl 10 i could probably afford 2 or three of those setups

ember pendant
#

lol

cosmic tinsel
bold kernel
#

wait

bold kernel
#

maybe i know what i do wrong

nimble gale
#

i dont care as long as someone comes down with me

craggy sapphire
#

Wha

nimble gale
#

im tired of just getting 1 tapped and not knowing from where

craggy sapphire
#

I thought the ump was okay

#

IT only has a bad fire rate

cosmic tinsel
#

It's bouncy and slow

ember pendant
cosmic tinsel
#

Worst of both worlds

nimble gale
#

shadowplay?

bold kernel
#

-+-3

craggy sapphire
#

IT literally has no recoil

ember pendant
#

Its a nvidia program that you can press a button and get the last x amount of time recorded.

craggy sapphire
#

Or

#

I mean

halcyon willow
#

its a capture software that passively saves the last >20 mins of your gameplay if you press a keybind @nimble gale

ember pendant
#

So you don't have to record the entire game, Just the last few minutes. it saves space.

nimble gale
#

ah ok

#

ill look into it

bold kernel
ember pendant
#

I think amd has a one called ReLive or something along that lines. That'll get you in the right place if you use an AMD card.

final rapids
#

Hey i survived with da key

nimble gale
#

i need to figure out better settings to play the game

#

im running like 45fps

#

and i have a 5700xt

bold kernel
#

what ram u have?

nimble gale
#

and a 155hz monitor

#

16gb

bold kernel
#

wtf

#

i have 8gb

halcyon willow
#

cpu?

bold kernel
#

and 75fps

ember pendant
#

Yea, you should be getting a lot better than 45 fps on that rig.

nimble gale
#

3600amd ryzen

final rapids
#

Wtf

nimble gale
#

i know

strong barn
#

in your nvidia control panel you can tell tarkov to not use Vsync
but if you enable vsync in the game it unlocks your frame rate; worked for me and loads of streamers recommend it

final rapids
#

Ive got a 2060 super this thing runs up

nimble gale
#

not sure what is going one

half grotto
#

Note to self; Never join random parties

nimble gale
#

on not one

smoky wing
#

@half grotto cuz they will tk your ass

final rapids
half grotto
#

Got killed by monke teammate

ember pendant
#

I thought vsync capped it at 60. Not the other way around.

smoky wing
#

Yup

half grotto
#

What a scum

smoky wing
#

@ember pendant it does

#

But u can unlock it

final rapids
#

One day ill get max armor and just destroy all the tks

smoky wing
#

In doc settings

#

To make it 144hz

ember pendant
#

Ah, well reeeeee. Good to know.

smoky wing
#

Vsync is 60

#

Cuz tarkov by defaukt

#

Is on 60 hz

#

U need to change it manually thru nvidia program

#

And doc editing

nimble gale
#

i have an amd gpu

smoky wing
#

Then idk but i can vet amd can do that too

#

@half grotto what is ur level mate

nimble gale
#

ill google it

ember pendant
#

I'm sure catalyst has a similar feature.

nimble gale
#

haha

smoky wing
#

And who tked you and why

final rapids
#

Are wires good

ember pendant
#

They are used for crafts and tasks.

craggy sapphire
#

Like this then?

ember pendant
#

I mean, it's better than the ump, Killa.

#

Same shit different day though.

#

I avoid .45 myself, but I think that'll be the best use of your .45 AP

craggy sapphire
#

Okay

#

What map?

ember pendant
#

That's a you question. Probably not woods though.

unreal horizon
#

should've thought of that before you made a kit

craggy sapphire
#

lol

#

TRue

#

But i realised that the vector would not be good for woods

ember pendant
#

It can be, just need to path correctly and pray the few open angels don't have snipers on the other side of the map.

craggy sapphire
#

I was thinking of doing reserve?

unreal horizon
#

good plan

jolly yarrow
#

Any good MP5 Budget Builds?

craggy sapphire
#

Watch youtube

jolly yarrow
#

Ight

bold kernel
#

I've just thought

#

dorms is gonna get so fucking messy after this.

#

not only you gonna have chads, your gonna have lower levels probably sitting in rooms with shotguns

#

life sounds great

ember pendant
#

Dorms life.

#

They are hectic IRL too 😄

viral prawn
#

the amount of GPU's i find

#

IS TOO DAMN HIGH!!!!!!!!

bold kernel
#

where

#

Techlight?

viral prawn
#

why does everyone keep saying techlight? jesus christ any open tech spawn they will spawn in

bold kernel
#

because techlight likes to spawn 2-3 at a time.

craggy sapphire
#

I havn't seen anybody talking bout the motor prices latley?

ember pendant
#

They can do that in all the other ones too.

viral prawn
unreal horizon
bold kernel
#

Where do you go Claw?

craggy sapphire
#

wdThey are worth around 70k

viral prawn
#

Where i go is 100% dictated by my spawn

ember pendant
#

I've seen 3 spawn in TTS as well

viral prawn
#

I've seen a double in emercom, and a double in germain too

ember pendant
#

2 is the most I've seen in emecrom myself.

bold kernel
#

i struggle to navigate Interchange

viral prawn
#

Emercom medical supply

bold kernel
#

its like the only map i don't understand

#

too many floors

viral prawn
#

2?

#

Ground floor and the second one?

bold kernel
#

its hard because i learn off maps

ember pendant
#

It's just a mall. Bring your girlfriend. I'm sure she knows how to shop 😛

bold kernel
#

xd

#

naw she aint going for the expensive shit

viral prawn
#

well i am

bold kernel
#

gucci shoes aren't gonna do much in a world crisis

viral prawn
#

HERE I GO AGAIN

bold kernel
#

xd

#

not long now until i get my sexy marked room key

#

93% on it 😏

ember pendant
#

IC isn't that bad if you ignore the parking garage IMO. Learn it in phases. Outside. 3 big stores(idea, oli, goshen). Then move to bottom floor of the inner mall, then go upstairs. Learn parking garage last.

final rapids
#

Do i sell my car battery or keep it

#

Do i need it

ember pendant
#

You'll need multiple for tasks and hideout.

final rapids
#

So ill just keep it then?

bold kernel
#

should i keep this kind of stuff?

ember pendant
#

They are sorta a pain to find and bring out because they are so heavy.

#

Use the wiki boys. It has all the info. Just type the item name.

bold kernel
#

does anyone wanne play?

arctic hatch
#

guys whats the easy way to done the punisher 5 ?
rly ? using paca ?

rustic parcel
#

anyone down to help a fella out? just bought the game 30 mins ago and i literally dont know how to survive or get good

ember pendant
#

But yes, you'll need the gauge at least for early end hideout stuff. The rest is kinda meh and can be rebought or is needed for higher level stuff.

bold kernel
#

stepujący franek 28 i can play

rustic parcel
bold kernel
#

i also just got the game tho

rustic parcel
#

and know only the basics lol

bold kernel
#

same

rustic parcel
#

youre not gonna kill me as soon as we spawn and take my loot right? lol

bold kernel
#

no

#

rustic parcel
#

bold kernel

#

lmao

rustic parcel
bold kernel
#

happened to me to xD

rustic parcel
#

and we can play

bold kernel
#

ok

#

ill wait

ember pendant
#

Learn the maps and scav often. Outside of that just learn a little everytime. This game has a lot to learn so just focus on the basics for now.

craggy sapphire
#

No

#

Fuck dude

ember pendant
#

You lose your vector?

viral prawn
#

Fucking hell, that was a 3man

#

I fucking thought it was a 2 man

#

Last dude just Ks-23's me in back of skull

#

as i'm dick down in the loot

#

fucking thundercunt

unreal horizon
#

hit em with the rat attack

craggy sapphire
#

Okay

strong aspen
#

Does this game have gear/loot based matchmaking? I literally never run into any geared players unless Im in a squad with chads

craggy sapphire
#

I got out with some solid loot

craggy sapphire
#

Finally using my rr for its purpose

strong aspen
#

I ran with some level 50s the other day and every kill we got the player had some juicy loot

#

but when I play alone its just mosins and hunters

craggy sapphire
#

lol

strong aspen
#

I've never been killed with a meta M4 even

ember pendant
#

Odds are you are dying to the juiced players solo.

craggy sapphire
#

Play labs then

strong aspen
#

Lmao fuck labs

#

This is my first wipe and im only lvl 16

#

not doing that shit ever

ember pendant
#

Eh labs normally has people running budget stuff or they are all out.

#

Either way not worth 500k. Barely worth 200k when you can buy it from therapist.

strong aspen
#

I kinda suck at PvP so thats what im most scared of

viral prawn
unreal horizon
#

labs isnt the place for a new guy to learn pvp

strong aspen
#

100% aware of that

ember pendant
#

Find a budget gun and send it over and over on factory or your favorite map.

viral prawn
strong aspen
#

I try to avoid fights because I know I'll probably die, so depending on what I have I choose fight or flight

craggy sapphire
#

Time to go dorms for some pvp and loot

ember pendant
#

The best players at this game are the ones that just send it over and and over If they die, they don't care, they just kit up quickly and get back into action.

strong aspen
#

I still have a pretty big case of gear fear

strong aspen
viral prawn
viral prawn
craggy sapphire
#

lol

strong aspen
#

Well Im dogshit and broke lmao

viral prawn
#

Watch me make money while being literal dogwater

ember pendant
#

You don't have to be rich to send it. I mean you could bring a ks-23 and just push.

craggy sapphire
#

If you wanna get rich

viral prawn
#

you don't need money to make money

ember pendant
#

Hunter if you are on IC witha 6b3tm.

craggy sapphire
#

Buy these keys

unreal horizon
#

not all of them

#

get the 2 cheap ones then upgrade later

craggy sapphire
#

That is what i did

strong aspen
#

yesterday I kitted myself up with my best guns and gear and ran Shoreline

ember pendant
#

The best way to get rich is avoid combat and survive.

craggy sapphire
#

Bought two of em today

#

Real money makers

strong aspen
#

I even brung 2 primary weapons with me, which I never do

ember pendant
#

PVP provides very little profit. Just new gearsets for the future.

strong aspen
#

then I died to a guy's first shot

#

Got into a gunfight and his literal first bullet head eyes'd me

ember pendant
#

The best profit you'll get in PVP is ammo IMO.

strong aspen
#

Literally sent my gear fear back into a spiral

final rapids
#

High risk high reqard pvping middle late game gives you their loot

craggy sapphire
#

Uhh

#

Lets go

ember pendant
#

Sure, if you have the skills to get there first, but if you are low level you wont be at the choke first.

craggy sapphire
#

My kd is getting higher

ember pendant
#

Either way surviving nets more money than dying always.

#

Hatchet running being the exception with luck.

craggy sapphire
#

Really want to go labs

final rapids
#

On the long run yep

craggy sapphire
#

But idk if i wanna buy a labs key card

halcyon willow
#

the time next to dealers names on the dealer screen, is that the restock timer?

strong aspen
ember pendant
#

Yes, Fin.

halcyon willow
ember pendant
#

Based on the sound at least.

unreal horizon
strong aspen
#

Why was the muzzle flash right next to me

ember pendant
#

I don't think you ever really check the angle.

strong aspen
#

Thats whats so confusing

ember pendant
#

He was in the doorway right behind you

halcyon willow
#

yeah on the left as you clear the corner you never checked it

strong aspen
#

Oh

ember pendant
#

You heard him ads around 19 seconds.

strong aspen
#

????

bold kernel
#

as a EU player is it possible to get US drops

strong aspen
#

How many hours of experience do you have my guy lmao

ember pendant
#

You probably can't make it out over your running, but it's there

#

Almost 6k hours.

strong aspen
#

To tell the difference between gear clanking and ADS sound

#

I thought that was just my character's walking sound or something

ember pendant
#

Yea, it's hard to notice, but over time you'll learn things like that.

strong aspen
#

Even after watching the clip like 15 times I still cant tell the difference

ember pendant
#

A good set of headphones does a lot too.

#

A DAC Amp for example helps a lot for condensing audio. You could use a program like voicemeter banana as a software alternative, but it requires quite a bit of setup to get it to be effective.

strong aspen
#

Can a Mosin with 7n37 shoot through a ULACH

ember pendant
#

Yea.

#

Provided it doesn't ricochet. That's dependent on impact angle.

strong aspen
craggy sapphire
#

You didin't hit him

strong aspen
#

Blood came out of his head

halcyon willow
#

Indeed, you missed both shots

#

no shot

strong aspen
#

and the post-raid screen said I had a hit count of 1

halcyon willow
#

I would say

#

if anything

#

the second hit

strong aspen
#

those were the only 2 shots I fired

#

the whole raid

halcyon willow
#

looks to me like you hit him center mass as you die

ember pendant
#

I don't see blood on the wall. 2nd shot hit him in the left arm.

#

Frame right before you shot.

unreal horizon
#

I play/paused like a frame by frame, I think 1st shot deflected

strong aspen
#

Oh that makes sense

#

1st might've ricocheted

#

2nd hit his arm

bold kernel
#

HOW MUCH IS PARACORD

unreal horizon
#

nvm you were leading a little too far

bold kernel
#

fastttt

unreal horizon
#

ill tell u 1 sec

bold kernel
#

welp i just found 3

unreal horizon
#

yeah still 80k\

craggy sapphire
#

Idk how addicted i am in this game

strong aspen
#

Same

craggy sapphire
#

But the other day i dreamt of getting a red card xd

strong aspen
#

Oh

#

I dont even know what that is

#

whats a Red card

broken fox
#

Dose anyone know labs? cause I found a key card and I dont know anything

#

@strong aspen a reusable labs card that unlocks certain doors

unreal horizon
#

what color?

broken fox
#

mine is white

craggy sapphire
#

Oh

#

It just gives u access to labs

#

Red is worth 100m

#

White is around 500k

#

Red is insanly rare

#

And gives you insane loot

#

Like golden stars all of the time almost and barter items for such as kappa

rough comet
#

can i get an admin in 4 to kick unknownking3 he is a sleeper

vagrant current
#

i stopped playing 2 months ago, should i start new character or go on with this one? Current character's level 5 and all i got is 200k roubles

rough comet
#

start new

#

depending on your version

craggy sapphire
#

Okay

#

Anyone willing to do labs?

vagrant current
#

yeah got stuck therapist's shortage quest couldn't find salewa's anywhere on customs and ran out of money. Thanks.

unreal horizon
#

you can craft them if u waant

craggy sapphire
#

lol

shy pendant
#

i got lucky i think

craggy sapphire
#

HOly fuck

shy pendant
#

started off with just a mosin and a helm

craggy sapphire
#

IT is not going to go up

shy pendant
#

Hmmmmm

Sell it for like 2.3 mil

shy pendant

i sold it for 2425000

bold kernel
#

Are 9x19 Quake Makers any good?

unreal horizon
#

not really

#

they do decent flesh dmg but RIP is better

#

they're leg meta only, no pen

shy coral
#

pog marked key

final rapids
#

Is it the expensive one

bold kernel
#

my pockets hurt

unreal horizon
#

noice

bold kernel
#

now time to die with it

#

is it worth running this in a vector?

quaint flicker
#

if you can hit chest upwards ye

bold kernel
#

has it got recoil xd?

quaint flicker
#

but it might be a bit overkill

final rapids
#

1911 or PM

bold kernel
#

i could go saiga 9

final rapids
#

pistol

quaint flicker
#

i mean some cant handle even the lightest upkick so who knows

bold kernel
#

fair enough

unreal horizon
bold kernel
#

i might just go to the saiga 9 i have in my stash

final rapids
bold kernel
#

it works in them mags

plush quest
#

oh

#

pm

quaint flicker
# final rapids ?

for me it would be none of them but if for something like PMC pisstol kills then for me 1911

#

PM is alot cheaper than 1911 tho keep that in mind

plush quest
#

if hes asking what pistol is better he dosent have access to .45 ap

bold kernel
#

who is

quaint flicker
#

yeah depending on if he has AP for 45 or not 9x18 wont work against armor even with the best pen ammo

unreal horizon
#

spam eyes with ABP lol

quaint flicker
#

i mean 45 FMJ could still work (with some struggle) against armor but both arent well suited

bold kernel
#

is a sight that far forward bad/

quaint flicker
quaint flicker
bold kernel
#

okay

quaint flicker
#

the question is if it works for you

bold kernel
#

i dont know

#

whats the difference

#

will it just be closer to my eye?

#

(the furthur back it is)

quaint flicker
#

like a benefit of mounting one that far at the front is that the casing of the optic is smaller and maybe blocking less

#

yeah i think so its more or less a preference thing

bold kernel
#

okay

quaint flicker
#

a downside(?) is that you cant put an offset mount (angled sight) on it

#

just test it out in an offline raid or in your hideout (if you have the shooting range)

plush quest
#

you wouldnt need a canted sight with a cobra sight though

bold kernel
#

oh shit

#

the american one has Aqua FPS

quaint flicker
#

yeah its just a "downside" that came to mind

bold kernel
#

LOL

#

he probably can't afford more than one gear set.

#

he's great at losing gear, he wont last 10 minutes.

They just give x amount to make an interesting tournament. It'd be boring if they were on their mains going full geared every raid or hatchet running on level 1s.

true

also do you mean like twitch drops Jexuu?

and theres another benefit to mounting optics at the front: your reticle is smaller which some prefer since then it doesnt hide things

If you are just looking for company.

i do recomend doing as many scav raids as possible to learn ropes

but also remember theres offline raid mode

if you just want to know how guns work and what loot spawn where

#

scavs can still spawn for target practice

cerulean spruce

Is it possible to have more than 50 ergo with a tactical device on an SKS ;__;

Let me go mod one, one sec.

Limax if its a gun you found on the ground

if you don't know what bullet your using, chances are thats why its not penetrating armor

final rapids

Dont rely on it

If it was a scav gun

#

Dont rely on it

sterile junco

yeah it was a scav run

final rapids

Against armor that shit is like throwing pebbles

Yeah just run away with scav equipment

Which is better

#

crowbar or axe

final rapids

Nonpoint picking fights youll get your ass kciked

You dont get it back

a fucking helmetless scav just took two rip rounds to the face

ember pendant
#

It takes 24-36 hours for it to come back AND it has to be left unlooted.

sterile junco
#

ill give it more time then thanks

ember pendant
#

You also need to insure it. Some people forget to do that per raid. It'll come back as a message from prapor or therapist in the bottom right.

final rapids
#

Also dont insure everything

#

Scav guns just use them as water toys

ember pendant
#

They'll say something like: "My boys scanned the area and didn't find anything. Maybe next time."

#

Assuming it was looted.

cerulean spruce
#

So something with better material for armor will last longer in raid rather than something made out of something bad?

Which keys do I prioritize for customs

prioritize learning how to screenshot first maybe

Nah

ember pendant
# cerulean spruce So something with better material for armor will last longer in raid rather than...

Uh that's a pretty lengthy answer. I recommend reading about it on this wiki and asking questions afterwards:
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

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

#

Destructibility and Durability are two different things that math is needed to calculate. If you review that you'll get a general overview.

#

Lol Eden. You savage.

fading violet
#

short answer, repairs: UHWPE > Armor Steel > Titan > Combined > Ceramic > Glass

how durable it is when it gets hit: Titan > UHWPE > armor steel > Combiend > Ceramic > Glass

ember pendant
#

True, I just normally see a followup asked after that type of question.

plucky minnow

is 9x19 mm RIP good if i only shoot legs?

bold kernel

yeah

ember pendant

Unarmored parts of the body, yup.

unreal horizon

correct

strong barn

4 rounds - 5 rounds in the same leg/arm and they are dead
@plucky minnow

unreal horizon

don't legs have a better multiplier?

plucky minnow
#

appreciated

strong barn
#

nah its like 70% of the damage

#

once a limb is blacked

fading violet
#

leg is 100%, arms is 60%, stomach is 150%

there ya go

i've been shot after running past a wall 3 times today yet the game says my ping is perfectly fine

#

tf is this, its annoying now

#

i'll be past a wall and still die

fading violet
#

desync maybe

ember pendant
#

AKA server side lag.

fading violet
#

you ran past a wall but on someone else's screen you are still out in the open

bold kernel
#

its pissing me off

cerulean spruce
#

Effective durability is the durability in game aswell? @ember pendant

#

I still don't exactly get that

#

so something with 180 will last longer than 100 effective durability?

#

in the actual match

fading violet
#

effective durability is the dura * material multiplier

#

so yes higher is better

ember pendant
#

Yup, sometimes there are exceptions to this based on play style.

bold kernel
#

using PSO gzh, its bad ammo but where do i aim with it?

ember pendant
#

I personally opt for a Korund over a C4 armor assuming they are both full durability just because the 1-2 shots it blocks are more likely to win me a fight.

fading violet
#

head

bold kernel
#

so flesh damage?

fading violet
#

pso is not really a flesh round either

#

it's like 60 damage

ember pendant
#

All 9mm outside of RIP, QM, and Luger Id aim for the head.

bold kernel
#

what do you aim with luger?

fading violet
#

legs

ember pendant
#

Legs with all 3 of those

bold kernel
#

are green tracers better than PSO?

#

or is it just fancy PSO

#

xd

ember pendant
#

GT is a meme ammo tbh.

I can't thing of a situation you'd opt for that over PSO

Unless you like tracers I guess.

yeah it's 70% just looked it up

small cairn
#

or what

ember pendant
#

But it doesn't really batter for the discussion that was being had. It does less that the other areas so it should be opt'd to as a last resort when using flesh rounds.

cerulean spruce
#

No But I'll try for good ergo with that stock

small cairn
#

Fair enough, but depending on what you are doing iron sight sks does perfectly PB_pog

#

spend the spare money into good bullets instead

ember pendant

Clearly he's past that point when he's putting a canted on it 😄

yeah but Idk how I feel about bringing in an sks into a big boy fight

#

might aswell just go some spray weapon at that point pepeshrug

35...Idk man I honestly feel like if you go past 15 bullets missed you either fucked up or you are fighting the world

somber portal
#

Ratnik is the the cheapest helmet you can run NVGs on. 20k with the bleach barter

ember pendant
#

I mean there are cheaper options, but its the first gun I main'd

small cairn
#

in either situation I can only blame myself/accept the fact that I have brought in an sks to a 1v5

ember pendant
#

THe way he justified the it to me at the time is you are only bringing one mag and top loading it.

small cairn
#

Thats fair enough if u only bring 1 mag

ember pendant
#

So he said I may need it in a multilple enemy situation when I couldn't repack.

#

To be fair he also used 1 100 round mag and that was it for him in his gun.

small cairn
#

but I would still rather bring 1 mag with loose bullets

small cairn
#

u just load shit in

#

or well tahts what I do with 10-20 mags

#

idk about 35

ember pendant
#

Repack I'm referring to top-loading.

small cairn
#

imagine reloading 35 bullets in KEK

ember pendant
#

Still it's only 1 bullet at a time and takes a bit.

small cairn
#

I mean I usually just have 10 mag sks

#

5 in pocket

#

and 20-30 in pouch

ember pendant
#

Yea, that's one way of doing it. I wasn't geared feared so I followed the advice he gave, good or not.

small cairn
#

and as I said, if I encounter a million people then I just accept the fact that I ahve an sks and not a ak with bs

ember pendant
#

At the time I felt it gave me a better chance. Who really knows if it did or didn't.

small cairn
#

I mean it probably compensated for your bad aim at the start

sterile junco
#

i have no gear fear and now my gear is gone

small cairn
#

as you got better you probably felt it was the same as a base sks?

plucky minnow
#

i want to do the bp depot quest where you need to plant those thing on fuel tanks, the questions is if i die do i need to do it over again?

you can reload with SKS if you have two mags

or do u still feel like the mods change alot for u?

fading violet
#

you don't have to manually load a 35 rounder in raid

ember pendant
#

Yea, I know that now ofc. At the time I was new and just following advice.

#

Yea, at the time I felt it was a much better gun. I always had good aim though.

Tarkov isn't a realistic game. Its a game with a lot of realistic stuff, but realistic doesn't translate well for a game typically.
