[silver hornet]

the buttpad and the grip cost 60k together

[earnest sigil]

hey if i start a craft on the workbench and then turn off the generator to save fuel is the craft going to finish?

[twilit lily]

Cuz you ain't doing Tarkov Shooter

[unreal horizon]

and 29 less then a sv

[twilit lily]

That stuff unlocks through that

[bold kernel]

yes

[twilit lily]

Ergo hasn't saved me sniping yet

[silver hornet]

I'm on Tarkov Shooter 8 bud, that doesn't unlock the buttpad or the grip.

[twilit lily]

Yes it does

What level is your Jaeger

[silver hornet]

No it doesn't, it unlocks the Archangel stock

level 4

[twilit lily]

You're high as hell

The buttpad and grip are Tarkov shooter 3 and 4

I know this for fucking certain

[silver hornet]

🥱

[unreal horizon]

buddy. it's a 1 time reward

[twilit lily]

No, I buy both of them from him for cheap

[unreal horizon]

Cinci knows his shit

[cosmic tinsel]

wiki agrees w tman

[cosmic tinsel]

lets wressle u guys

[silver hornet]

Well clearly something's wrong lmao considering I don't have either of those

[silver hornet]

or weapon presets are just broken

yeah, weapon presets is broken

regardless

SV-98 is still way better than the Mosin

[twilit lily]

Ok, good. I was actually concerned they did a stealth change on me

[crisp nest]

yup

[twilit lily]

Also, I'm.not gonna get 8 done at all, lol

Fuck that Noise

[silver hornet]

ugh it's terrible

[twilit lily]

I'm just doing it cuz it gets Jaeger up

Surprisingly killing Scavs at night is super easy

As long as they don't have a damn flashlight

One of those MFs got my with a flashlight and blacked both my legs while doing it

Fuck 12 gauge man

[bold kernel]

any tips for bullet lead?

lets say someone is sprinting sideways on to me and i have a mosin

[cosmic tinsel]

practice practice practice

its all feel

depends what angle they're running at, depends how far away they are, depends what bullet you're using

[unreal horizon]

mosin ammo is pretty quick

[cosmic tinsel]

^

tracers will give you a better feel, too

[unreal horizon]

maybe aim at like their arm so they run into it, if you overlead, it still hits

its more of an art then a science, just got to feel it out

[twilit lily]

I've always had issues with scavs never staying still

[bold kernel]

problem is i cant tell if im overleading or too little but yeah practice is obv the answer

[unreal horizon]

well I mean it is a science but you get what I mean

[twilit lily]

Or they stay still in areas they can't be seen from

So using a basic Mosin with the 3.5 isn't the most intuitive

Seriously, snatched one up for super cheap on the board with silencer installed already

Which is weird, I don't think I've ever seen a Mosin with silencer in raid before

[cosmic tinsel]

maybe shturman guards

[twilit lily]

Unless they found all the parts and made a package deal for it, which is even weirder

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah

[twilit lily]

It was one of the custom fits to fit a PBS

But had a 3.5?

[cosmic tinsel]

weird

this is the shturman special but its not that

[twilit lily]

Hmm, maybe he did just combine them to sell

[unreal horizon]

i'm hoarding parts to sell the most pimped saiga-9 you've ever seen

[twilit lily]

I bought it for 35k and it all came together. All I had to add was recoil pad and grip

[unreal horizon]

imo recoil pad and grip isn't worth buying for 4 ergo

[twilit lily]

They're super cheap when you can buy direct for Jaeger

And since I saved on the silencer coming with it, why not

[unreal horizon]

fair enough

[cosmic tinsel]

its not worth the time to me either ha

but hey if you're havin fun do it

[ivory ether]

so sv98 over mosin then?

[silver hornet]

yes

[ivory ether]

cool

i thought the sv98 was the expensive top tier gun

[twilit lily]

I'd probably move over to SV-98 as well eventually

[ivory ether]

idk

[unreal horizon]

probably thinking of the svds

[silver hornet]

it's cheaper than the Mosin on the flea market

[ivory ether]

yeah i think

[twilit lily]

But I prefer topping off on top instead of putting in another mag

It's a feel thing

[unreal horizon]

sv's go for about 30k. mosins were going for like 25k this morning but that's really unusual

[twilit lily]

I'd also say SV-98s also are showing up as Scav drops so they're not that rare to find as well

That reminds me, I only find out yesterday that the SVD can spawn on a player scav

Cuz my friend got it twice in a row

[ivory ether]

yeah 41k for the mosin i just bought so its nice to save like 10k

[twilit lily]

That run was kinda funny as well

[unreal horizon]

sv's nice because you have more mounting options for sights with less work

[twilit lily]

I spawned in with a VSS with scope, he had an SVD with no scope

So I gave him my scope, and I played vanguard

[unreal horizon]

can put a valday or a vudu right on the base gun

[ivory ether]

are those expensive

[twilit lily]

Went really well, killed 2 raiders that ran up on us, he sniper 2 more. Good loot run

Valday 1x6 is about 50kish

General rule, IRL and in Tarkov

[unreal horizon]

about 50k each

[ivory ether]

oo

[twilit lily]

Good scopes are always more expensive than the gun itself

[ivory ether]

so what is a scope that is a little cheaper than that, just looking to kill some scavs

11 to go lul

[twilit lily]

There's the Burris. Need 30mm rings to attach it to

1 to 4 zoom, but since it's cheap it has issues. Like the reticle

[unreal horizon]

the pilad on 25mm rings is a cheap option

[twilit lily]

But no zoom out option, so if you need close you need a side mount

[ivory ether]

hm, i think ill just take the pilad and a pistol

[twilit lily]

It does have a better sight picture imo

[ivory ether]

or something

[twilit lily]

If the Pilad could zoom out, it would be my goto

[ivory ether]

ah

[unreal horizon]

ive heard variable or smooth zooming is in the works, that would be sweet

[ivory ether]

so sv98 pilad sight and a glock17?

[twilit lily]

That should be a pretty basic set

Just remember the most important thing

Do not let off the trigger when you shoot

[ivory ether]

oh alright

[twilit lily]

Continuing to hold with let your guy still look down sight before he Chambers the next round. Helps to make sure you actually got him

Let go, he Chambers

So if you just tap he shoots and goes instantly to chamber the next one

So you could straight up miss if you downed him or not

[ivory ether]

alright gothca

should i bother bringing any armor/helms

[shrewd estuary]

is the pp-19-01 good or shit

[twilit lily]

I've spent 5 minutes trying to confirm a kill since I messed up one, and only realized he got around me and had to pistol him

[ivory ether]

oof

[twilit lily]

The PP-19-01 is good enough for what it is. Lower tier SMG with good part selection. Issue it's limited to 30 rounds at Max

[shrewd estuary]

what ammo is good with it

[twilit lily]

PST GZH is a basic standard but this late in wipe you're gonna need stuff like AP 6.3 to be fully viable

And even then, since it doesn't have drum mags you have to be a bit more careful with your spray and pray

[crisp nest]

it shoots slow

[twilit lily]

That too

It's not a vector, so it's auto shit to most

Don't bring to Factory, you will die

[crisp nest]

well even if u fully mod pp19 its not anything crazy

[ivory ether]

im a factory addict and i keep bringing in my 153's and flechettes then losing it

fuck

[twilit lily]

And not anything crazy isn't entirely bad

I'm not gonna suck the meta's dick in this game, I play around it

Tired of Vectors and HK416s

Gets boring after 3 rounds

[crisp nest]

i mean usually players with hk are able to aim

its harder to get max traders if you arent good

[twilit lily]

There's a reason I use an MP9, it's more fun

[crisp nest]

vector though is just skier 3, supressor, drums, pk-06

[twilit lily]

It's almost like it doesn't fit where it is in the shops

I'd argue the vectors should be a helluva lot harder to get

[unreal horizon]

oh I 100% agree but it's not high on bsg's priority list, which is fair

[crisp nest]

make them jam

[twilit lily]

There's a lot of things not high on their list. I should know

[crisp nest]

they are more complex than other guns

[twilit lily]

Idk if Vectors were that prone to jamming

[crisp nest]

pretty sure they jam more easily than other guns

[dire rock]

they are also very well made, meaning they are deadly accurate and dont jam, real warfare isnt balanced

[hollow swift]

any tips for getting pmc kills on shoreline

[twilit lily]

Cuz I've seen just vids of people mag dumping quickly through 50rders

[barren oasis]

vector scrubs ew

[twilit lily]

But this game also isn't realistic. Look at most of the shit in this game

[barren oasis]

ash 12 only

n fal ofc

[unreal horizon]

ash-12 gaming

[crisp nest]

true

also @barren oasis monkey man is back

[twilit lily]

We have people jumping like it's COD in Factory, there isn't any real here

[crisp nest]

🐒

[barren oasis]

ofc there isnt n its fun doing parkour in factory

[dire rock]

it is founded on realism, realistic ballistics, armor etc yes there are a lot of arcade elements that keep it a shooter and not a simulator but i dont think its fair to say its too far from reality

the gear and tactics are grounded in realism

[barren oasis]

ehh the game is a 50/50 on the realism aspect but its still enjoyable

[dire rock]

like i said more so on the gear and tactics,

[barren oasis]

yeh

[twilit lily]

It abandoned being found in reality when the main winning strats was to rush in like it's CoD, take a quick death or kill and move on. With as much money as there is in the economy, they have the funds to restock and go in again

[open jay]

are items crafted in hideout counted as fir?

[twilit lily]

Yes

[open jay]

so fuel is a good thing to create then right?

sells for 150k but the items to make it is like 20 k

[twilit lily]

NO

[dire rock]

yeah a lot of people do stuff like that which is why i learned how to counter that playstyle and spoilker alert it doesnt work against people like me that know positioning and stealth

[twilit lily]

Do not make fuel, most of the shit is never worth it

[open jay]

but it sells for

150k ?

[twilit lily]

Fuel sells for 400kish if it's the big

[barren oasis]

only if jeager is out of stock

[open jay]

blue fuel sells for

150k

needs crickent and zibbo

[barren oasis]

if hes in stock then around the 200~ mark

[dire rock]

when people have nothing to lose yes they will meme strat, rush etc and since the flea market keeps us all rich as shit people will never have anything to lose after the first 2 months

[open jay]

isnt that worth

[twilit lily]

Ok, and most don't get that usually

Idk the part costs and average price for that

[unreal horizon]

10 of each

[open jay]

@unreal horizon ah. makes sense lmfao ty

[unreal horizon]

lol np

[barren oasis]

i only play like tht cus its fun n i enjoy it

[twilit lily]

Yeah, 10 each. I forgot the exact. That's like more around 200kish in parts

[barren oasis]

n its fun making ppl upset

[twilit lily]

It's nice to do if you found a surplus of the lighters and never sold em, sure

[crisp nest]

hes usually in stock(jaeger)

[twilit lily]

Sure he is, but ever one I've ever got sells in 10 seconds anyway

[barren oasis]

just collect them over time n it should add up in no time

[dire rock]

of course, thats why we play games lol, some people just have goldfish level attention spans and have to sprint around everywhere and dont like playing slow

[hollow swift]

whats the best buckshot

[twilit lily]

8.5

[dire rock]

8.5 magnum

[twilit lily]

Theoretically all are about the same in damage, but 8.5 does the most per BB

[unreal horizon]

swagnum fuck easily 2 shots legs, it's super fun to use

[twilit lily]

6.5 has the most BBs so more head eyes chance but that's not a gamble I'm willing to play

[barren oasis]

my favorite strat is just dropping a smoke n bull rushing with a FAL

[hollow swift]

what the nbest way to get kills on shoreline

[twilit lily]

When you drop 2 PMCs cuz head eyes, you really start loving shotguns

Scav or player

[unreal horizon]

resort, that's where everyone's going

[barren oasis]

go on sniper rock

[twilit lily]

If it's Scav, go to power plant, gas station, the island

Your extracts also have a good chance of spawning some as well later in the raid, like Road to Customs

[hollow swift]

punisher pt 4

[unreal horizon]

better yet, wait for another dumbass to go up on sniper rock

[barren oasis]

hey it wroks

[twilit lily]

Ok, so PMCs. That's gonna be a bit tougher, but they've said their info

[crisp nest]

for 400k really?

[twilit lily]

Yes

[crisp nest]

damn what times do u play at

[twilit lily]

Any I find I raid I sell for 400k

[crisp nest]

i always see em at 200k lol

any way to power level endurance?

[twilit lily]

US? around 8am to 12pm if it's an off day

[rough comet]

@crisp nest get air filter and sj6

[tardy socket]

Anyone want to play with a new guy, low lvl?

[celest sage]

Go into raid, run out the first stam bar, die

Repeat with air filter on

Should get elite in around a day

[violet gulch]

can i play with an actual squad

[crisp nest]

the load time though

[violet gulch]

idk how to get new weapons as well with attachments

[celest sage]

That’s most of the time is loading

[crisp nest]

also how long does 1 filter last?

[celest sage]

Like 30 hours or smth

Maybe it was 16?

[crisp nest]

including out of raid?

[celest sage]

Not sure

[crisp nest]

and can i turn it off or nah

[celest sage]

No

It stays on while power is on

So ig you sort of can

But anyway for endurance I’d just play the game normally

Strength is when you want to power grind because it’s really hard to play while training strength

[crisp nest]

yup was just thinking id get endurance then just grind strength while studying

@celest sage how many bars of stam do i use when i train strength each raid?

[celest sage]

If you don’t want to wait for the load times and manage it and stuff, you can just not move for 5 minutes and it’ll reset

[celest sage]

You should get elite endurance before you start on strength

[crisp nest]

oh im fine i was thinking of studying/doing hw as it loads, xD

[crisp nest]

yup im just preparing the knowledge in advance i guess 😄

[lusty matrix]

Can anyone point me to where i am right now

[barren oasis]

MFS DONT RESPECT THE WIGGLE

[lusty matrix]

i only got 10 minutes left and im lost

the map im using doesnt mark anything in color like this orange truck idk where i am pls help

[half garnet]

For chemical pt 4, who should i pick

skier prapor or therapist

[radiant sable]

If u go past the fences and directly to the right u should be at zb-14

[crisp nest]

near outskirts/ checkpoint

[lusty matrix]

okay im right here, which direction

[unreal horizon]

south

assuming you're looking for outskirts

[lusty matrix]

i wanna find the zb first

[tired mauve]

zb014?

[lusty matrix]

yes that one..

[tired mauve]

your right near it

[lusty matrix]

that isnt a direction

[tired mauve]

follow the wall can hardily miss it

[unreal horizon]

follow the wall south to the large pile of rocks

[lusty matrix]

i found a large pile of rocks

i see no green shit so i cant find the zb, i need to give jaeger his door dash

[ebon oar]

search around

without the flare the entrance can be hard to find

[barren oasis]

woods is the one map i cant help ppl navigate

like ik the map but like

[ebon oar]

i hate woods but i have to run it for quests

[celest sage]

Same, it’s so hard

I mean I can make my way around but it’s annoying

[crisp nest]

its along the wall near a hole with rocks

[bold kernel]

Doing a dcav run on customs hopefully I make it in

Out*

[lusty matrix]

???

[crisp nest]

check the other wide

[unreal horizon]

leave you have 3 mins

[lusty matrix]

other side?

[crisp nest]

the wall has 2 sides

[barren oasis]

bro is so lost lmaooo

[tired mauve]

get tight against the wall and walk down it if you cant see it jump through the gap in the wall and walk back

its close to the wall

[crisp nest]

^^

also hes fucked anyways he might as well finish the mission

[bold kernel]

Well this was fun to read. Hope you make it though haha. 👀

[tired mauve]

its on the sawmill side of the wall

not the outside of the map side

i think at least been ages since i done that quest

[crisp nest]

you're correct dw

if he checks both sides he got it

[lusty matrix]

i dropped off jaegers bullshit snacks and ditched all my stuff

[bold kernel]

Fuck I killed a really geared player and I lose connection to server

[crisp nest]

you can reconnect just pray u aint dead

[bold kernel]

I hope I'm not

Reconnecting now

[lusty matrix]

at least i got half an objective done, why tf did it go night when i chose a day time it was 14:38 when i started the damn raid

[crisp nest]

you mightve misclicked

[tired mauve]

lol

doubt

[crisp nest]

like slightly off the checkmark

so it still was on 238

[tired mauve]

you got that time machine off jaeger

[unreal horizon]

isn't 1 irl minute 7 ingame minutes? or something like that

[crisp nest]

it is

19 is when dusk starts, 2230 is full night time

then like 330 for when it gets lighter?

[bold kernel]

It said game completed or aborted

[tired mauve]

rip gear my friend

[bold kernel]

I was on a scav but I was looting someone with a full scavBP and he had a key

[earnest sigil]

will this sell?

[crisp nest]

yes but do you run IC

sell it for a slight bit less

[bold kernel]

I need go just go in and die to get rid of my toxin and heal

[pure mist]

i remember that key was a lot cheapers a week ago

[celest sage]

Yeah people realized it’s a good key

[lusty matrix]

thanks for the help friends.

and totally not making fun of me instead.

[celest sage]

Why the salt

[lusty matrix]

?

[celest sage]

We gave you the answer to your question

I’m assuming this is an online raid?

[barren oasis]

bro said thaks wym salt lmaoo

[lusty matrix]

yes, and i said thanks???

tf you on about

[celest sage]

“and totally not making fun of me instead.”

Totally there implies sarcasm

[barren oasis]

cus he thought he was going to get made fun of wym bro

yu reading too deep into this

[lusty matrix]

You, specifically, were laughing at me not knowing where i was.

[crisp nest]

wtf

[barren oasis]

yeehh

[lusty matrix]

everyone else was aight.

[celest sage]

Huh when

[radiant sable]

Rip

[naive depot]

?!?!?!?!? WHY IS IT SO MUCH

[bold kernel]

I did find it funny because I've been in that situation like you. But I didn't mean it in a bad way.

[crisp nest]

is there a sniper scav spawn here

[barren oasis]

cus i was in ur spot before lol @lusty matrix

but i can run woods with yu n show yu around

[celest sage]

Yeah woods sucks

[crisp nest]

i was doing naked pistol run for my docs case for bad rep

[naive depot]

bro i swear i paid like 20k for that fucking key earlier in the wipe

[unreal horizon]

not often but I have seen it, yes

[crisp nest]

ah yes 5.45 ps i hate customs when i dont go dorms/crackhouse now

[naive depot]

what good could people have possibly realized about this key

aside from a room to attempt to run away from a nade in

[pure mist]

i paid 50k for it

[unreal horizon]

Pestily probably said "pharmacy key" once and boom price goes up

[pure mist]

idk why now it's so much more expensive

[celest sage]

It has optha spawns

And good med spawns

[naive depot]

good?

that's news to me

[pure mist]

i went in there more than 6 time so far nothing

[naive depot]

i've had this key for three wipes and i've gotten a golden star once

[celest sage]

I usually get on average like 50-100k when I go there, sometimes more

[naive depot]

i got a optha yesterday and i assumed it was just obscene luck

[celest sage]

I don’t go there a crazy amount but it’s nice to hit up

[naive depot]

this key is worth nowhere near 400k

it's not that great even for a pvp angle

[bold kernel]

7 mins and still not loaded in

Loaded and got some pliers before my toxin killed me

[unreal horizon]

are you not paying post raid to take it off?

[bold kernel]

No I just did I just hadn't played since I got the affect

I got a tarcola atleast from it lol

How do you put helmet visor down and up

[neon willow]

press N to toggle visor or nightvision

[bold kernel]

Thanks

[neon willow]

Fuxking exfil camper

[lilac kindle]

who wanna join me on my journy of learning inter change

[violet gulch]

@lilac kindle ill join

[bold kernel]

I'm actually trigger by me dying there I had over 100k worth of stuff

[crisp nest]

100k to flea or vendor

100k isnt that much

[bold kernel]

Idk I think it might have been more I had a couple back packs and a key

[crisp nest]

just go woods and find 2 packs of sugar and you get 130k already

or more idk the price rn

if u are scav that is

[violet gulch]

anyone new here learning the game ?

looking for someone to help me

trying to get loot in game

[bold kernel]

I was on a scav and had a bunch of stuff that dirty camper is probably happy

i need someone to play with

[errant jasper]

yola im down

[crystal stirrup]

Can someone help me do the Bunker part 1?

[unreal horizon]

you don't need to do that quest btw

but if you need xp it's easy, just extract D2

[cosmic tinsel]

It's really just chance on whether the bunker is full of chads

[unreal horizon]

I'd advise going really early or really late

Usually when I go bunker, it's midway through when I'm not quite full

[severe river]

Does the 10% damage reduction effect of different drugs stack? So can you have 20% damage reduction?

[sudden coral]

boys im going into labs for the first time ever

any tips

[potent axle]

dont go

or get a gaming chair

both help

[sudden coral]

lol

im going

[potent axle]

good luck

[naive jacinth]

is san 332

key

worth anything

[bold kernel]

Are car keys worth anything

[ebon oar]

no to the car key

[naive jacinth]

my scav spawned with san 332 key

[bold kernel]

Ight not gonna worry if I die with it then

[ebon oar]

usually keys with purple backgrounds are good but the car keys are trash

[naive jacinth]

oh the san 332 has purple background

i guess ill go straight to extract

[ebon oar]

it's about 50k

nothing crazy

[naive jacinth]

is magnum buckshot good

[crisp nest]

yes

[ebon oar]

yeah

it's what you should be using if you want flesh damage

[naive jacinth]

is mustache good

[crisp nest]

kappa item

[past mantle]

anyone wanna play?

[naive jacinth]

idk what kappa is

agjhhggh my inventory is so full

idk what to do

[bold kernel]

Died with my pmc only went with a pistol and small bag but was worth

[naive jacinth]

help me

how do i organize stash

[bold kernel]

Move stuff around and use r to rotate it

[crisp nest]

why did u take the silver badge

[bold kernel]

To sell it

[crisp nest]

im pretty sure the only use is for kappa and u need it be FIR

[bold kernel]

Only took to sell to trader for 37k

[split pivot]

looking for someone who doesn't mind helping with tasks would appreciate it trying to level up just msg me

[ebon oar]

sugar isn't worth anything if you can't sell on flea

[crisp nest]

^

not like ur getting moonshine anytime soon

[ebon oar]

in fact a shit ton of items are that way

[crisp nest]

sugar has barters but they are shitty

[bold kernel]

I'll just hold onto it till I'm level up more

[ebon oar]

you'll be holding onto it for a very very very long time

just sell it for what little you can to therapist it's not the end of the world

and try your best to always come into a raid with enough inventory space to hold stuff

with alpha container, no keys and at your level, trying to make profit from stuffing crap into your secure container is going to be slow

[open jay]

do you guys think suppressors are worth the stat decreases on an ak74?

[unreal horizon]

what's the recoil looking like?

[open jay]

let me take a look

63 recoil 55 erg

[unreal horizon]

it's not awful

personally i'd use a compensator but if you can handle it, use it

[crisp nest]

use the budget compensator like dtk or whatever

from skier 2

[bold kernel]

Do tasks give xp

[small cairn]

Main source of exp, when trying to lvl up to 40, to get max traders

[open jay]

do different suppressors suppress my gun my different amounts?

[bold kernel]

I should probably start doing tasks then lol

[unreal horizon]

it's even more important pre lvl 10, you want to rush flea asap

[crisp nest]

yes

[desert bloom]

id recommend it if ur below lv 10 so u can get flea and make money really easily

[bold kernel]

what even are headsets

[open jay]

@crisp nest so some will make my gun quieter than others basically?

[bold kernel]

when everybody crabs around anyways

Where can I get 2 mp-133 shotguns

jäger

[naive depot]

jaeger level 1 or off of scavs

[naive depot]

yes

or have higher/lower recoil/ergo

[open jay]

gotcha gotcha

[crisp nest]

yes

[bold kernel]

Can I do tasks on scavs

[crisp nest]

no

[naive depot]

no but you can pick up task items

[crisp nest]

u find items like flashdrives tho

[bold kernel]

Ight

[chrome wedge]

hi there everyone

[bold kernel]

I hope I don't die with this san.104 key

I died

Dumb question how do I know when a map is gonna be day or night

[errant jasper]

check the time

when you try and load it

[bold kernel]

What is like the time zone system they use

[foggy drum]

How do you find the extraction points? I can never find them and just end up losing everything.

[radiant sable]

U can find the cycle on google

[crisp nest]

a map

[foggy drum]

how do i get one of those

[small cairn]

Google

[foggy drum]

ight

whats the best beginner map to play on

i have 0 clue what im doing

[small cairn]

One of the better maps to learn first is probably customs

Extracts are opposite site where you spawn and there is a lot of quests there too

[naive wave]

I want to buy EFT but im not 100% sure and My friends dont want to buy it so I will prob play solo, do u guys recommend it still?

[unborn cloak]

I forgot what the laser with that has the red circle is called, anyone mind refreshing my mind\

[unborn cloak]

solo is fun up to a certain point. you can always find people to play with here but its going to be a tough game to learn solo

[small cairn]

Try and get into the maps/ammo type and try to learn prices of different items, if these things seem off setting, then probably don't buy it

[unborn cloak]

Funner with friends

[small cairn]

Most things are

[naive wave]

ok thx guys

[small cairn]

also if you are prone to ragequit/tilt, then this might not also be the game for you @naive wave

[naive wave]

Ye I guessed so

[unborn cloak]

@small cairn

I forgot what the laser with that has the red circle is called, mind refreshing my mind.

[small cairn]

[unborn cloak]

kek

get pinged

[small cairn]

a infrared?

or wdym

[unborn cloak]

ye

[small cairn]

The one that has a "laser", but no actual laser

[crisp nest]

its the holosun one

ls321 i think

[unborn cloak]

isnt holosun green laser

[crisp nest]

the ls321

has IR

[ember pendant]

A lot of them have IR options.

[unreal horizon]

dbal supremacy

[unborn cloak]

appreciate it

[ember pendant]

Dbal is the king for sure.

Best flashlight in the game and it has a IR beam.

[naive depot]

x400 too bright

[crisp nest]

i thought only dbal and ls have it

i like the ls though

[naive depot]

he said best flashlight in the game is the dbal

x400 would be best if they'd lower the brightness just a smidge

can't see my red dot with it 😂

[visual garden]

everyone knows the best flashlight is the Zarya

[unreal horizon]

you raise a solid point

[green portal]

oh hm I will try those, they light up an area for a while?

[visual garden]

they make it bright as day for about a millisecond

[green portal]

I thought it was just for a moment

wait so they aren't lights?

like they don't light up for a while?

[crisp nest]

hes trolling

lol

[unborn cloak]

its a flashbang

[green portal]

oh ok. man why I'm new to this :/

[foggy drum]

Can someone give me an idea of the medical system i have no clue how to heal myself, or stop coughing.

[crisp nest]

yeah this is the joke lol @green portal

[green portal]

is there a flashlight you can throw that will stay on?

[crisp nest]

guns have their lights on

[visual garden]

Im sorry, i didn't mean to confuse you. It was meant to be a joke

[crisp nest]

when dropped

[green portal]

oh ok cool

that seems like a good strat

bring a gun or pick up another with a light to throw down

like a pistol

[crisp nest]

lmao

[bold kernel]

What do you do with dogtags

[fading violet]

[bold kernel]

Ight

[graceful atlas]

[bold kernel]

I spawned as a scav with 2 keys then died almost immediately

[humble kernel]

Hello, anyone up for a run?

[graceful atlas]

yeah

[humble kernel]

whats your nick. (Im a noob)

[naive jacinth]

my stash is filled with mags

[stoic jay]

can someone help me extract woods

[pearl osprey]

Anyone around that could help me kill reshala and find golden TT

[bold kernel]

2 shotguns shots to a guy and I dont die

And he *

[unreal horizon]

Where did you hit them?

Shotguns don't pen so you gotta aim legs

[bold kernel]

Yea did aim at the legs lol

[unreal horizon]

What ammo?

[bold kernel]

Didnt*

[unreal horizon]

Ah

[bold kernel]

Got the 5 scav kills I needed though

[small cairn]

[stoic jay]

I need help woods cause im shit at the game

[bold kernel]

I'm also shit at the game

[unreal horizon]

Pull up a map and run around in offline, you'll learn it

[bold kernel]

I'm doing one more scav run for the day then gonna grind more destiny

[stoic jay]

im ina raid

i need halp

lmao

welp

[cosmic tinsel]

welcome to the tarkov school of learning lol

[stoic jay]

how do i learn if i dont get taught?

fgyfbevnfwf

[cosmic tinsel]

ok lesson one: "im ina raid, i need halp" is not actionable data for us

lesson two: 90% of what i have learned about tarkov is a direct result of being killed and considering why i was killed

[unreal horizon]

start by making a plan for your raids, something simple like "get this quest done" or "get some gear"

if you're going in without a plan it's just a jacket looting sim

[fading violet]

also 90% people blame their death on desyncs, bugs and cheaters everytime they die

[stoic jay]

lmao

[stoic jay]

halp

[cosmic tinsel]

i did lol

[pearl osprey]

Hey, im level 18 only been playing 11 days now, looking for chill runs for money & xp or help with tasks. EU

[unreal horizon]

i'm NA so we can't play, but it seems you're progressing really fast, congrats!

[pearl osprey]

Thanks, come from playing siege and Valorant (so not to bad with shooters) to EFT every day, feels much more rewarding and like I always have something to do.

[naive kiln]

[cosmic tinsel]

boy u really showin your whole ass huh

XD

[crisp nest]

[unreal horizon]

[cosmic tinsel]

im seein hardly any in labs

[crisp nest]

thank you 🤣

[crisp nest]

NA

canadian

[cosmic tinsel]

OHHHH

[crisp nest]

so we use the U

[cosmic tinsel]

that makes a sense

[crisp nest]

in coloured and stuff

[unreal horizon]

hell yeah

[crisp nest]

lol

i got killed by a guy not being a true canadian

his name was canadiansnowman but he killed me 😦

[cosmic tinsel]

did he say soory

[crisp nest]

but fr in canada if someone bumps you, you say sorry

[unreal horizon]

pretty much yeah

[crisp nest]

and u always let people go in front of u

[fading violet]

what is up with everyone fantasizing about how nice Canadians are when there are plenty of assholes there too

[crisp nest]

there are

but the typical canadian person is very nice

like me 🍁

[fading violet]

like I have been to Canada I and I have not noticed that much of a difference

[crisp nest]

did you go to quebec

[cosmic tinsel]

i like each one of you but this is not the place for this convo lol

[unreal horizon]

lol that checks out

[crisp nest]

🤣

[fading violet]

I went to Toronto

[small cairn]

[crisp nest]

makes sense

[cosmic tinsel]

gettem eksdee

[small cairn]

[crisp nest]

from what ive seen literally all the hate crimes are in toronto

[cosmic tinsel]

y'all im beggin ya

[crisp nest]

ok fine ill stop but pls dont go to quebec

[fading violet]

yeah I have ran into a few assholes when I am in toronto, now when people say Canadians are nice I'm always like 🤔

[small cairn]

Meevo is 1 step away from

[cosmic tinsel]

[unreal horizon]

50 damage to the dome

ded

[cosmic tinsel]

only cost me a thicc items case

[unreal horizon]

worth

i mean it's objectively NOT worth but it's sick

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, i got up to 50m and was like this is stupid time to spend

[fading violet]

it's pretty much identical to the M2 while costing 10 times more

[small cairn]

Only thing meevo is killing is his pocket (and me )

[crisp nest]

rich mf

[cosmic tinsel]

you're NOT gonna be happy about my purple armband

[crisp nest]

shhhh

[fading violet]

I got a rival armband from scav case a month ago and I sold it way too cheap

Now everytime someone mention that thing I am sad

[crisp nest]

i used to eat sugar

when i was new

the whole pack

when i was missing 1 energy

[fading violet]

how many times have you died to dehydration

[crisp nest]

never

i died immediately afterwards to mines usually

woods as a beginner...

[pearl osprey]

Looking for help doing 2 interchange tasks explore 5 stores and kill 30 scavs.

[sand locust]

looking for help

[unreal horizon]

anything in particular?

[sand locust]

man honestly just like how to start and everything, like ive played for a decent bit trying to get better but i feel like theres something im missing

like engaging in combat, what loot to take and what not, etc

[crisp nest]

u learn that

from playing

[unreal horizon]

what lvl are you if you don't mind me asking?

[sand locust]

6 lmao but i really just started playing in like late feb- march since this wipe ive played before but i didnt really have the patience but now i actually want to learn

[unreal horizon]

fair enough. For now try to focus on questing, it's a good source of xp and will get you to lvl 10 and the flea market faster

once you unlock the flea you can kinda do whatever you want as you'll have a lot more cash to work with

[sand locust]

alright, i guess that does make sense cause ive really only been going into games hoping i get lucky but ya know, tarkov

[unreal horizon]

in terms of loot, if you can keep things with a value of at least 13k per slot, you're laughing. Anything over 10k slot is fine though

you'll learn these once you unlock the flea and start selling stuff

[unreal horizon]

it's really important to go into raid with a plan, be it completing a quest or making a bit of money. If you stray from that plan fine, but at least you're raiding for a purpose

[sand locust]

thats the ting too i really dont know the value of things either i just got learning to do ive never made it to 10 cause i just give up. but i actaully want to know how to at least be decent. im going to go into some raids and try to complete the quests to get some xp and money. im just going to try to avoid combat

[unreal horizon]

that's perfect!

[sand locust]

i appreciate it man

[unreal horizon]

if you keep that up you'll be leveling quick in no time, just try to learn something every time you die as it'll help you in the future

also remember that it's a game and the quests can get really boring/tedious, so every so often its fun to go in with meme guns and just have a good time

[crisp nest]

why 13 specifically xd

[cosmic tinsel]

its a commonly accepted value breakpoint

[unreal horizon]

just a general rule a lot of content creators and such follow, generally accepted

[cosmic tinsel]

its reasonable to fill your bag with stuff above that point

[unreal horizon]

though it may be subject to change with bitcoin deflating

[crisp nest]

ive always heard 10 personally thats why i was wondering

[cosmic tinsel]

probs inflation

do what works for you

[honest matrix]

hey what's the best way for a completely new player to learn the game

[sand locust]

is there a specific map that is better to learn on? all i play is customs and reserve and sometimes woods

[unreal horizon]

probably just getting in there, doing raids on your pmc

[cosmic tinsel]

pestily new player tutorial playlist, pestily raid series, doing scav and budget pmc raids

[unreal horizon]

customs is kinda non-negotiable with the amount of early quests, but interchange and reserve are great money maps to learn

[honest matrix]

@cosmic tinsel thanks ive watched some of his vids but I didn't know he had a playlist

[cosmic tinsel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkpwFfAqV8Q&list=PLZJoJ7H5ZfosAtkZzjr7e4YyG6jTb530F

its thicc

just hit the ones you want

[honest matrix]

and should I rebind my check ammo keybind

[crisp nest]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--8HcUwSZ8I

this too

[crisp nest]

huh its alt t, pretty easy to hit

[honest matrix]

alt - t is wack, I'd rather do alt-r

[unreal horizon]

that's fair, just set whatever's comfortable

and make sure if it interferes with something, change the other thing

[crisp nest]

just dont accidentally reload then xd

[honest matrix]

hmm it's fine I guess

pestily said to change delete to u

[unreal horizon]

that's fair

[honest matrix]

so I should learn customs so I can do quests?

[unreal horizon]

yeah that's a great map to start with

[honest matrix]

i went on a raid yesterday and it got me like 2mil but I can't use flea

ok so the best way to learn is to watch pestilys vid and do an offline?

[unreal horizon]

customs is mostly new players questing, or chads going for pvp

generally most pvp occurs in these zones, try your best to avoid them if you're not looking to fight

[honest matrix]

lol that's confusing should I just use the wiki map?

[crisp nest]

good idea but when you delete something expensive youll cry

[unreal horizon]

I forgot to highlight gas station but be cautions there as well

[crisp nest]

its good to have in raid

to drop items quickly

[unreal horizon]

yeah just use whatever you're comfortable with. make sure it has the bottom area, thats a new expansion and some maps are outdated

[honest matrix]

I think the eft wiki has an interactive one I can use on my 2nd monitor

[unreal horizon]

that's perfect

[honest matrix]

ok thanks 🙂

[cerulean spruce]

Do you guys prefer Flir or Reapir on woods

[unreal horizon]

reapir

[cosmic tinsel]

flirs a lot harder to use

[unreal horizon]

this being said, I prefer reapir in general

I think the "black is hot" mode is sweet

[unborn cloak]

A scav just saved me from someone with an m1a

[unreal horizon]

What a champion

[unborn cloak]

i saw him drop

and I saw the scav

i shed a tear as I shot him in the noggin

[unreal horizon]

A real hero

[unborn cloak]

His sacrifice will not go in vain

I ended up extracting after killing 2 more people

[unreal horizon]

real heroes wear scav vests

[unborn cloak]

they jumped me with kedrs

and i killed one with that guys m1a

the scav led me to success

and for that I will remember him

[bold kernel]

Hell yea spawned in as a scav with a marked room key and hightailed it to exfill

[unreal horizon]

[unborn cloak]

Nice! which marked key?

[unborn cloak]

[bold kernel]

No just doing this before I eat dinner quick

[ebon oar]

ik you say you just want it to be quick and don't want to risk much

[unborn cloak]

Can't wait for next wipe, I'll actually know what to do early game and Ill get kappa quicker

[ebon oar]

but bringing even a weeny T-Bag and scav vest can net you way more shit

[bold kernel]

True I got it from the scav run lol

[ebon oar]

what about reserve rounds, or did you leave them behind

[south cloak]

Where do I get mags for SKS

[bold kernel]

I died didn't get anything good to be salty about

[hot quarry]

what stim helps you against thermals again ?

[bold kernel]

Got a rotary suppressor

[hot quarry]

cold blooded bah

[unborn cloak]

ive brought my kd up by .3 in 2 days

that is really good since ive got around 2k raids

I am proud

[unreal horizon]

[silk radish]

[bold kernel]

How do you open the map in game

[silk radish]

there isnt one

[opal lion]

Well damn this is hardcore.

[radiant sable]

Yes

[bold kernel]

Alright

[radiant sable]

It’s best to google maps when u start out and try ur best to navigate

[bold kernel]

Spawning in with a sniper as a scav this is gonna end badly

How do you change between zooms

[crisp nest]

alt right click

[cerulean spruce]

What map for the 40 yard bolt action no scope?

[cosmic tinsel]

shoreline or woods, probably

[frigid badger]

any map lol 40 yards aint shit

[bold kernel]

Not a bad scav run

[cerulean spruce]

On woods it's difficult for me to find scavs

[frigid badger]

windows+print screen is a screenshot

[neon willow]

tru lol

[ebon yew]

I found reserve good

[bold kernel]

I disabled my windows button on my laptop

[frigid badger]

oh

[cosmic tinsel]

winkey+shift+S is a better screenshot imo

[bold kernel]

How do you turn stuff in

[frigid badger]

go to the trader itsself and click on tabs menu

i mean tasks menu

[fathom tinsel]

its the worst when you into the wrong extract

[bold kernel]

I see it now thanks

[fervent smelt]

anyone want to teach me the game

[bold kernel]

Going in with this crappy hunting rifle

[cosmic tinsel]

as long as its not a bolty its a reasonably choice

[bold kernel]

It is

XD

Got it from scav run don't care if I lose it

[cosmic tinsel]

ha, good luck out there

[bold kernel]

Thanks

[pure mist]

this any good ?

[silver hornet]

Dunno why you'd bring in a sidearm if you have an M1A with a HAMR

[cerulean spruce]

LOL

I think the guy felt bad for me

[crisp nest]

damn

lucky guy

[pure mist]

idk i just like the sr1mp

[silver hornet]

fair enough

why no backpack?

[pure mist]

forgot, i usually bring a trizip

[silver hornet]

ah

[bold kernel]

What do you use motars for

[cosmic tinsel]

you dont

[bold kernel]

So just sell it?

[unreal vortex]

some hideout upgrades use motors no?

[crisp nest]

yes

[ivory ether]

should i bring just tier 3 armor to woods

im hunting scavs with the sv

[cosmic tinsel]

MOTORS?

mortars?

motars?

im having a stroke

[unreal vortex]

yeah I just assumed they meant motors haha

[cosmic tinsel]

ofz shell?

also used?

sorta

[unreal vortex]

if its the ofz shell they make m995 craft which is nice but sell it if you dont have that unlocked yet

[pure mist]

Isn’t it needs for a quest

[cosmic tinsel]

non-kappa but yes

also its craftable

[bold kernel]

Why Mr scav I don't want to use snipers anymoee

Gonna 360 no scope someone with it

[cosmic tinsel]

go nuts

[unreal vortex]

ya you need one for a quest I think too, just look at flea during peak hours to sell it tho imo, they go for a decent chunk of money

[bold kernel]

Yea like 65k

[cosmic tinsel]

im fuckin cryin

[ivory ether]

also whats a pistol i should bring to pair with sv98

[bold kernel]

I'm down to 90k rubles

[cosmic tinsel]

you mean motor, then?

[bold kernel]

Electric motor

[unreal vortex]

oh if youre at 90k rub then just sell anything that isnt a gun haha

and do stash runs

[cosmic tinsel]

yeaaaa ok you'll need em eventually for hideout but you can sell for now

[bold kernel]

Yea I got a bunch of stuff to see

Sell*

[unreal horizon]

it's tough because if you kept everything you had to keep, your stash would be full

[unreal vortex]

non kappa items just sell em you can always get them back

[drifting jolt]

Bring a shotgun instead

[bold kernel]

I got stuck on something and died to a scav

Sell my suppressors?

[unreal horizon]

if you won't use them

[drifting jolt]

Most gun parts aren't needed to be kept around.

[bold kernel]

Probably won't thats 50k there

[unreal horizon]

basically there's no point hanging on to thing you'll never use

[drifting jolt]

Just buy them when you need one

[ember pendant]

Dev, you hear of snipping tool?

It produces a lot better screenshots than your phone will mate

But yea, sell it if you wont use it.

[bold kernel]

What tool

[ember pendant]

Got windows? Hit the window key and type snipping

[bold kernel]

I disabled my windows key

[ember pendant]

Then hit new at the top and just crop out the portion you want to share.

then click the windows button lol

After that just ctrl + C (copy) and paste it where you want it.

[ivory ether]

holy shit, killed a player scav and he had a labs card on him

[drifting jolt]

Not super rare

[ivory ether]

yah, but isnt it like 450k

[ember pendant]

Still 400-500k

Great money for 1 item whatever way you look at it.

[bold kernel]

Back to 250k

[drifting jolt]

I gotta get off work so I can grind the last 3 kappa quests I have.

[ivory ether]

does no one use railway extract on interchange? i use it nearly every time i have the extract available and ive never seen a person there

[chilly plume]

hm i just realized theres a new menu soundtrack

cant find it anywhere online tho

[ivory ether]

a guy shot at me once when i was there, but it was from far away

[cosmic tinsel]

we all die in front of kiba

[ivory ether]

oh lul

[unreal horizon]

lol you extract?

we die like real men

I simply refuse to extract

[bold kernel]

Should I try and farm purple keycard

[drifting jolt]

Only 4 or 5 PMCs will get that extract per raid.

[ivory ether]

the chad dead in interchange and virgin extractor

so if i have the keycard, can i offline labs without losing it

[bold kernel]

Someone said yes before in chat

[ivory ether]

oh ok nice

[bold kernel]

Going into customs without my knife lol

[ivory ether]

sealing foam gone from 45k to 8k today

bruh

[bright raptor]

looking for help in customs

[ivory ether]

ap sx is the best ammo for mp7 right?

i have like 88 rounds that i might sell

[bold kernel]

With only *

[twilit lily]

ok, so i still have a broken arm

[bold kernel]

Splint

[twilit lily]

where should i go to do the tremor quest

i know how to fix it, lol

[cosmic tinsel]

factory imo

[twilit lily]

well factory sounds nice, but IDK if it will activate quickly enough to shoot someone

[cosmic tinsel]

yes

thats how i did it

just ground it out til i was done

wounded beast, right?

pain, not tremor

nvm, still should work

[ember pendant]

Yea, AP SX is the top tier ammo.

[ivory ether]

damn nice

[bright raptor]

anyone around willing to help a lvl 5 out getting some scav kills on customs and 2 shotguns pleeeeeeassse....

[ember pendant]

It has great pen, but sorta lack luster on the flesh damage.

Not a guaranteed 1 shot to a helmet.

[bold kernel]

That's was profitable going in and just getting a couple things

[swift rose]

so i have a map open on my phone for customs. I can't pin point any landmarks. So how am i even supposed to know what is what and learn the map?

[bold kernel]

Got a safe key, Val dust cover and Vaseline

[naive depot]

look at landmarks on the map

look at your map and see if what you see on screen matche

[unreal vortex]

Offline raid and find a landmark you recognize

[naive depot]

you learn the map by playing it

[unreal vortex]

like big red or new gas or something

[ivory ether]

are there scavs on labs

[unreal vortex]

Raiders on labs

[ivory ether]

so can i fight them on offline

[bold kernel]

The nuclear reactor is a good land mark for me

[swift rose]

i am doing an offline. I can't pinpoint any landmarks.....like the big smoke tubes like the one in a nuclear power plant....dont see that on the map

[unreal horizon]

bottom right of most maps

[bold kernel]

Yup
