[vivid ember]

2 or 3

its been locked

i only found like one or two aks per and some attatchments. Of course idk their value but i heard it sells for 400k

Am i just unlucky?

[dry belfry]

I net 50k each time I go in, at the bare minimum

And that key is unlimited use

[vivid ember]

huh

[unreal horizon]

that's payed back in 8 uses. It's not great but it's not awful

[dry belfry]

If you're new and don't have a ton of money, that's a good key to keep.

[vivid ember]

I probably just don't know the values of the attachment's, alright I'll keep.

[winter fractal]

I’ve gone quite a few times and haven’t ever seen anything worth much either. That’s why I say sell

[vivid ember]

Plus it'll be nice if I go in with a pistol

alr ty

[dry belfry]

Some of the other keys are expensive but it's chance based for like intelligence spawns or something, this one is easy money.

[random hare]

Can anyone carry me and help me get money sherpa's do not seem to respond

[vivid ember]

Alright, I'll keep it.

ty

[dry belfry]

Probably because you just want to get carried for money?

[winter fractal]

Some resort keys are pretty expensive/valuable but they can definitely be worth it

[unreal horizon]

not many people will do carries

[vivid ember]

Yeah I heard resort is the most expensive key-wise.

[winter fractal]

Resort is definitely a madhouse but if you have some good keys, have a little luck and come out alive, you can walk about with about a million+

[random hare]

@dry belfry lol I ask if they can teach me loot runs not only money quests too

[unreal horizon]

everyone hates resort until they find a ledx

then you realize maybe it isnt that bad

[winter fractal]

Wise words

[dry belfry]

Can confirm. I hate resort and have never found a LEDx

[winter fractal]

I need to at least try and get a few hours of sleep. Have a great day/night everyone. Good luck in your raids

[dry belfry]

Cheers

[unreal horizon]

cya 👋

[tight ember]

is there some button combination where you can sort your items nice and tidy?

like making your inventory look nice and clear

[unreal horizon]

bottom of the sorting menu, it doesnt work well though

[tight ember]

I propably should have asked this when not on a mission. well I try when I get back

[crisp nest]

tape room is scam

i found 1 propital and 1 cheese

[unreal horizon]

lmao

[crisp nest]

because i was too blind and couldnt find the washroom

for more stims

altyn gives me pain

someone i know has gotten 3 ledx 2 gpus

in one run

back when gpus were expensive

[simple flower]

LF someone to help me get scav kills on woods

[tight ember]

is there good way to yeet yourself out of 3 story dorms balcony at customs. I know 1 good landing spot where there is drying rack but is there other one where you might not break your legs?

[narrow gull]

you can land on the fence with barbed wire

[cloud kestrel]

maybe try jumping on the stairs to the entrance to 2nd floor?

[unreal horizon]

out to the right you can drop then back up into the 2nd floor window

[rough scarab]

damn i got some thermite in a scav raid

[tight ember]

alright ill try those ones

[lament sundial]

Yeah we're very specifically against carrying 🙂

[crystal rain]

what do I do with all these parts?!?!

[lament sundial]

Google them and discover their usefulness 🙂

[crystal rain]

good idea

[lament sundial]

Something not easily google'd though is "do I save this", try to keep track of what items you find pretty commonly, so when it comes to actually needing them you can either acquire them immediately and reliably. Or you saved them. 🙂

It's hard to list out everything the save rule applies too, but all the items you have there are very common

[narrow gull]

sell batteries, pliers, construction tape, rechargable batteries

[crystal rain]

tape for hideout

[narrow gull]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/images/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png/revision/latest?cb=20201030135610
use this to see what stuff you need to save up

[plain shale]

@crystal rain 1 rechargeble battery can be traded for 1 ADAR on Skier

[crystal rain]

nope

[narrow gull]

they removed that barter a while ago

[plain shale]

@narrow gull damn

🙂

[crystal rain]

i would have like 5 adars and sell them all

[narrow gull]

actually, you do need some rec batteries

[plain shale]

You can`t get much more out of a stock ADAR on Mechanic tho

[crystal rain]

oh

[rough scarab]

rec batteries are needed for quest

[flat bone]

I need some assistant with getting out of reserve

[plain shale]

@rough scarab 3 of them. But better sace for that after you have a scav junk box.

[narrow gull]

are you in raid?

[flat bone]

yeah

but i was kinda joking im kind of stuck in a wall

and i legit cant get out at all

https://gyazo.com/f63697712a82526422623cea51a5857f

i closed a door and it glitche dme into a wall

[narrow gull]

kekw

try to close the game through task manager and rejoin?

[flat bone]

there is a guy like right next to me

[plain shale]

@flat bone alt+f4 and rejoin.

[unreal horizon]

hehe watchu doing back there?

certainly not camping i'd hope

[flat bone]

i closed the door behind me

and it pushed me into a wall

was on my way to extract

[crisp nest]

rejoin

alt f4 and rejoin

[rough scarab]

Brooo

My pc just crashed mid raid

I’m just trynna do tarkov shooter

[river heath]

If you weren't in a fight then your guy should be fine.

[rough scarab]

There was some guy near by but I was in some bushes

Don’t think he’s gonna find me cause he killed a scav and I heard him run off

[river heath]

If he hasn't found you you'll know since you can't load back in if you die.

[unkempt pagoda]

anyone have some good budget builds without traders they could send me?

[rough scarab]

We loading back in

No idea why my pc powered off

[crisp nest]

unmodded guns

[river heath]

I think I have one. Is a 7.62 AK OK?

[bronze laurel]

did you see that m4 build i sent you a pic of earlier btw?

[river heath]

btw how cheap we going here.

[unkempt pagoda]

yeah i did

[rough scarab]

If I disconnected while moving does my player keep moving?

[river heath]

no.

[bronze laurel]

no he stops

[rough scarab]

Ok

Cause I was crab walking

[river heath]

I feel like the AR platform is garbage for guys on budgets. Am I wrong?

[narrow gull]

kinda

[unkempt pagoda]

i mean the rpk is quite cheap but i dont know what to put on it to make it better

[river heath]

At least late wipe it is, since high tier ammo is expensive for what it offers.

[unreal horizon]

correct

[bronze laurel]

mdr disagrees

well unless you take ammo into account yea

[river heath]

I always take ammo into account.

[narrow gull]

you can run 856a1 :/

[river heath]

I figured out that 5.45 AKs are nice but 7.62 AKs are better since BP is sorta cheap at ~1K per round and not inflated a lot on the flea.

[bronze laurel]

svds is in a way a decent budget gun. long range capability, semi auto and snb is cheap

[river heath]

Oh yeah SNB is like BT on the flea lmao almost as cheap

[bronze laurel]

yea but you can 2 tap any thorax which is great

might be abit biased there tho, i take an svds over m1a any day. just like the gun

[river heath]

Yeah but the SVDS has ridiculous recoil when you need to shoot fast. It's still better than the M1A if you have a budget though since SNB can cheese class 6 and isn't 2k per round. Also no need to mod it out the wazoo for recoil or anything.

[pastel trail]

Rpk is my favorite budget gun, base with a sight is good enough, and making it meta is only like 60k more with traders

[river heath]

hmmm is it? how much do RPKs go for?

[pastel trail]

Only like 70k

Unless they changed something since I’ve ran my main

[river heath]

ugh my concept of budget is warped lmao

my budget crap cost like 50k max

[pastel trail]

Eh budget is different for everyone I figure less than 100k for a gun is fairly budget

Especially this wipe when money is so abundant

[river heath]

Gotta consider running the other parts of the kit too, plus insurance.

[bold kernel]

Most my guns cost 20k

😔

[vague flower]

anyone willing to help with quests?

[river heath]

I could also use some help xd

[pastel trail]

Idk I just think the fact that the rpk is so easily upgraded to meta makes it a good choice too

[bronze laurel]

i've had alot of fun with stock AKs with only a sight and rubber buttpad. acctually managed to be kinda effective with them also

[river heath]

But the 74N is the meta 5.45 AK for a reason.

Not that that matters on a budget lmao

[pastel trail]

I honestly disagree with that assessment rpk gets better stats for cheeper

[river heath]

That was my point.

[pastel trail]

47 vert recoil on rpk at meta versus the 54 vert recoil of a meta 74n

[river heath]

What?

[pastel trail]

Yea

It’s just a better gun

[river heath]

No you can do less

You can get 43 on the 74N

[woeful sleet]

If anyone has a private discord server with eu players willing to help me out pls inv me to the server

[river heath]

ofc, you give up all ergo but thats a separate story.

[unreal horizon]

this post was made by AR Skill recoil reduction

[bold kernel]

what does set of tools do?

[compact token]

when someone clears an angle with a flashlight do I just turn mine on and hope I win the totally random spray contest?

[narrow gull]

this post was made by killa gang

[bronze laurel]

what do you need help with?

[river heath]

There's some upgrades that need tool sets.

Also a quest.

[pastel trail]

Eh I must have found a worse for the 74n build but 3 recoil is minor when you compare costs

[crisp nest]

you prefire them

[river heath]

Yeah true lol

If you want some ergp meta 74N was like 47 o 53 or something.

[woeful sleet]

@bronze laureli need help with a lot of things but mostly map knowledge. i also wanna play with someone

[bronze laurel]

sure, i can do a run or two with you

direct call

?

[woeful sleet]

sure

[vague flower]

anyone able to help with quests?

[river heath]

Also for flashlight guys shoot a bit above them to hit their head.

Man, flashlight scavs suck at night. Blind you with our without NVGs since they have predators.

Ah yes, a meta 74N with concessions for ergo has like 48 vert recoil.

How did you get an RPK to 47 recoil?

[unreal horizon]

longer barrel

[river heath]

I'm doing that.

[river heath]

Oops I forgot a muzzle device lol

[unreal horizon]

old screenshot, just put a MOE stock on this

[river heath]

Don't you mean an HK E1?

[unreal horizon]

aren't they both -33?

[river heath]

No the E1 does the most.

[unreal horizon]

carbine has better ergo

carbine and rubber buttpad

[uneven sail]

Why are these wipes like half a year long I’m so bored literally nothing left to do

[river heath]

Oh a rubber buttpad.

[unreal horizon]

bruh

[river heath]

nvm then

[uneven sail]

People literally resetting accounts cause there is nothing to do

[unreal horizon]

nothing wrong with the length it's because bitcoin accelerated it

[river heath]

Still garbage ergo though.

[unreal horizon]

yeah whatever

it's got a 60 rounder idc

[river heath]

y not just use the 95 rounder and mow people down while wasting money

[blissful cedar]

someone pls help me learn this game

[unreal horizon]

I dont like reloading that thing

but yeah

[bold kernel]

whats with my backpack?????

[crisp nest]

search it

[river heath]

F

[crisp nest]

lmao

[unreal horizon]

press the button that says "search"

[bold kernel]

wow

[unreal horizon]

you canceled it

[bold kernel]

i was confused because its in my stash

lmao

thanks

[crisp nest]

it cant be unexamined in stash

[river heath]

Probs a bug; report it first.

[crisp nest]

also that backpack sign means its not in stash

[bold kernel]

oh yeah it was on my back cause i thought it would solve the problem

[crisp nest]

if it was in your stash itd be auto searched already

[river heath]

Is it viable to take 2 pistols if I got a pistol quest to finish?

[small cairn]

[crisp nest]

why though

[small cairn]

1 gun and lose mags?

or are you just that rich

to bring 2 guns

[river heath]

wat

pistols are cheap

[crisp nest]

ammo

[unreal horizon]

bring extra mags, 2 pistols is the dumbest thing i've ever heard

[small cairn]

Only next to 2 melees

[river heath]

Yeah but 9x18pm is cheap

[small cairn]

why would u bring 2 pm pistols

[crisp nest]

use ss190

[river heath]

no no no

[crisp nest]

if u have pk3

[river heath]

I have 1 PM

[unreal horizon]

I bring my taiga for drip but RR in container

[river heath]

its a PB tho not a PM

So its useful

[crisp nest]

ill kill u when u switching them in ur bag lol

[crisp nest]

why not use ks, flash, then pistol kill

[unreal horizon]

I take my sicc and shit out of case, I'd never risk the taiga

[river heath]

ks?

Ph

no too expensive

[blissful cedar]

i need someone to teach me :(

[unreal horizon]

45k?

[crisp nest]

40k

[river heath]

[crisp nest]

u were asking how to make meta rpk

[river heath]

[crisp nest]

[crisp nest]

[crude stump]

[crisp nest]

[river heath]

thats worth considering

[unreal horizon]

run any pistol most guys in factory dont wear FS

[river heath]

didnt die in 1 shot since i use trooper armor and a class 4 helmet

yeah i noticed that too bad i failed against this guy with gpnvgs since i aimed at his thorax lol

[crisp nest]

altyn gang

[river heath]

night gang

[crisp nest]

🤮

[river heath]

lmao u think its garbage but night is always amazing for me since 90% of tasks dont require pvp

i tried night factory once just cuz i knew ppl didnt use face shields but that didnt help my aim

[crisp nest]

on factory?

[river heath]

no any other map lmao

[crisp nest]

i go night but night factory is dog

night shoreline sux too imo

[river heath]

idk ig it is. i did it once without dying but that raid i was out in 5min

killed 1 scav and did 1 task

[tight ember]

anybody know what exit this is? im trying shoreline for the first time

[crisp nest]

looks like factory gate but thats on woods

[unreal horizon]

road to customs

top right

[tight ember]

alright

[unreal horizon]

nikita did you dirty with that gun

how r u supposed to aim lol

[crisp nest]

take off the rail

[unreal horizon]

its a handguard not a rail

[crisp nest]

oh

i thought it was like the ak scav spawn

with da rail

[unreal horizon]

saiga bc look at the muzzle brake

[crisp nest]

ik

[unreal horizon]

ah

[tight ember]

can you swim in this game?

if I jump in the water

[crisp nest]

no

[river heath]

nope

[tight ember]

alright

[crisp nest]

u cant go in the water

[river heath]

u can dump gear there tho

for fraud

[tight ember]

I tried to jump anyways didnt work

[rough bridge]

hey guys is there someone i can play with, that can explain this game, just got it

[river heath]

Explain what exactly

the basic premise?

[rough bridge]

well the aim of the game etc, its kinda confusing

[river heath]

I can do that even tho im sorta new

[barren oasis]

ight time to tell the lore of the game

[river heath]

lol

[rough bridge]

@river heath that would be great

[river heath]

lemme get ready then we can do a call in like 5min

basically just outta bed xd

[rough bridge]

lol, ok sounds great

[river heath]

ok im ready to explain hehehe

[rough bridge]

alright

[bronze laurel]

omg, i took this new guy onto a customs scav run. We got collateraled by a shotgun. Welcome to tarkov lmao

[unreal horizon]

never seen that one before

can't even be mad

[bronze laurel]

no it was amazing

• it was one hell of a jumpscare

[unreal horizon]

clearly a master of geometry

[crisp nest]

he calculated the angular geometry of the spherical obloid

[bronze laurel]

not sure if shotgun. but legendary scav for sure

[vivid ember]

Would trying to quest, (particularly the bronze pocket watch quest) be safer to do at night?

[crisp nest]

yes

[radiant sable]

Less players, u can try it

[vivid ember]

alright will do

[pure frost]

will M80 still go through class 5 and 6 well?

[bronze laurel]

after some shots yes

[crisp nest]

3 shots

to slick

[pure frost]

okay

so 1 more compared to m61

[unreal horizon]

3 shots to pen a slick, m61 is 2 shots to kill

[pure frost]

so like 5 to kill

[crisp nest]

what

[small cairn]

m61 straight up ignores the armor

m80 has to destroy it first

[pure frost]

so if its 3 to brake it , would it not be like 2 more to kill

[unreal horizon]

approx

it's not a fine science, there's a chance that the 2nd and 3rd shot might pen for example

[small cairn]

Check dms

[unreal aspen]

The vitamin task suck crap

I cannot complete id i killed like 10 scavs on factory and could not find a resperator

[crystal rain]

which chest piece can even go with this

[small cairn]

it is a "chest piece" itself

so no need

[bronze laurel]

that is a chest piece

[unreal aspen]

Is it good

[crystal rain]

oh damn I didnt know

i thought it was just a normal rig

thanks

[small cairn]

its decent I suppose, but not good in any way

[rough scarab]

its ceramic so not that good after 1 use

[unreal aspen]

U should repair the chest piece

[bronze laurel]

you see how it has durability? that indicates it has armor

[rough scarab]

dont repair it tbh

[unreal horizon]

???

[crystal rain]

Im not

not spending 50K for a terrible repair

[rough scarab]

so your gonna use an 11/50 armor

[unreal aspen]

Haha

[crystal rain]

Im going into an offline raid

[rough scarab]

oh ok

[unreal horizon]

96% pen chance lmao

[crystal rain]

fr?

[unreal aspen]

Your goona get 1 tapped by a shotgun scav haha

with that armor

[unreal horizon]

Idk I made that up, probably above 80

[rough scarab]

you would probably get one tapped by a shotgun scav anyways

[crystal rain]

seems legit

[rough scarab]

deadly

[crystal rain]

ill be fine I hold the power of a jedi

[languid abyss]

yes, i tend to do location intensive quests at night. just make sure to turn your postfx on, brightness up and you will see more.

[untold ruin]

does anyone know how to fix some stuff with sptarkov

[unreal aspen]

Wear that because scavs alwayssss head eyes u

[languid abyss]

probably wrong discord

[untold ruin]

whats the right one then lol

[languid abyss]

[untold ruin]

thanks

[languid abyss]

[crystal rain]

hopefully they do

What have I done

[unreal aspen]

Therew is no discord for that game

[rough scarab]

[untold ruin]

shit

[rough scarab]

take off the holo

[languid abyss]

theres like aki and jet style. there are discords you just have to find them

[crystal rain]

lol

[untold ruin]

i have aki

[unreal aspen]

Prob like a off brand server with 100 people

[crystal rain]

[unreal horizon]

wiki has a bunch

[unreal aspen]

???

[crystal rain]

A map for woods

the map woods

[unreal aspen]

Is it good

[crystal rain]

Im trying to learn it

Im asking if there is a good one

[unreal aspen]

oh like online map?

[crystal rain]

wha

yes?

eah

yeah

[ember pendant]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/woods

[crystal rain]

Appreciate it

Also why dont you have a profile picture

[unreal aspen]

Just mess with the filters because the map is so crowded

[crystal rain]

Yep

[languid abyss]

it will also help if you have a decent size screen you can have that on at the same time. tablet / second monitor

[crystal rain]

i have a second monitor

also does this map have landmine locations? Cause my legs are currently feeling like swiss cheese

[vivid ember]

Are you guaranteed to get insured loot back if it hasn't been looted?

[languid abyss]

yeah if it hasnt been looted.

[unreal horizon]

yes, but not if you go MIA

[vivid ember]

oh sweet

[unreal horizon]

so assuming you die inside the raid timer and no one takes it, guarentee

[vivid ember]

sounds good, thought it was like 50%

[unreal horizon]

nah 100%, for some reason prapor has no problem navigating a minefield

[crystal rain]

???

[vivid ember]

prapors methods are forbidden knowledge

[crystal rain]

How do I get this information

[unreal horizon]

he's just built different ig

[crystal rain]

cause like

[winter plume]

He got a whole team out there searching for your gear. Dudes the Russian mob forsure.

[crisp nest]

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[vivid ember]

prapor probably owns terragroup, usec, and bear ngl

[winter plume]

Lol I wouldn't doubt it.

[crisp nest]

terragroup owns usec

russia owns bear

[vivid ember]

he owns russia

[crisp nest]

so he owns terragroup and russia

[vivid ember]

prapor is putin

[crystal rain]

fence owns a group of bandits constantly robbing prapor

secretly

[vivid ember]

kill fence

[crisp nest]

i have 0.2 rep with fence

[vivid ember]

i will not do quests for fence now

prapor is love and life

[crisp nest]

[hearty mountain]

[river heath]

lol customs keys are mostly under 10k on the flea

no big loss

[unreal horizon]

[crisp nest]

i did that with 5 man camping gate 3

[unreal horizon]

camping factory is cringe

[crisp nest]

[unreal horizon]

I didnt feel like vendoring so I said fuck it i'll play factory until I die with it

[river heath]

i remember i killed a pair that i think was a sherpa and a noob

with a scav that had an sa58

[amber sage]

it do be like that sometimes

[river heath]

the recoil was horrible but i somehow managed to headshot the sherpa

[crisp nest]

i killed gluhar with ak74m with ps

[river heath]

wat

damn

[crisp nest]

then another guy chased me across the map

[river heath]

lmao

[crisp nest]

and i died because too heavy

[river heath]

sounds like pestily with swagger

[crisp nest]

he took half a map to his unarmored chest

but i had no armor his guards had zeroed armor

i had zeroed zhuk6

[river heath]

y didnt u drop it

zhuk6 is garbage once its broken

[rough scarab]

sa58 on a scav is so much recoil

[river heath]

yeah i was lucky i had 20rd mags

i died that raid tho :/

[unreal horizon]

it's more of a clubbing device

[river heath]

it works lol

[rough scarab]

yea with 20rnds it goes by fast

[vivid ember]

when i was lvl 3 i sprayed a pmc with a sa58 and got him somehow

only pmc kill i have

[river heath]

i almost didnt kill the low lvl guy since i had tpz sp

[rough scarab]

i remember fighting another scav with it and I ran out of ammo but we were both almost dead

[river heath]

worst .308 ammo

[rough scarab]

ended up knifing him

[river heath]

i ran out of ammo on one mag

[crisp nest]

i had nothing else

[river heath]

but

[crisp nest]

would rather extract with it

[river heath]

its broken

[crisp nest]

yeah

[river heath]

its worth nothing once its broken lol

legit

[crisp nest]

can use it

better than class 5

[river heath]

i bet fence would offer 10k for a broken zhuk6

also no it wouldnt be

[crisp nest]

why would i not use it

yes it would

[river heath]

not if u lose 1/2 the durability to repairs lmao

[crisp nest]

3/4 killa is better than class 4 by far

[river heath]

then a class 5 is better

[crisp nest]

3/4 zhuk will be better than class 5 by far

[river heath]

wait

killa armor is 6b13m dude

not zhuk6

lmao

[crisp nest]

yes

do u not get what im saying

pls read

[unreal horizon]

that sorta makes sense but probably not how it works

like I get what you mean

[crisp nest]

idk id check but i dont have battle buddy

dont have android

[river heath]

but wasnt the zhuk broken

[crisp nest]

yes

[river heath]

ceramic repairs to like 1/2 its original durability

unless u use mechanic

[crisp nest]

no it repairs to 80% with prapor

lmao

[river heath]

wat?

ceramic?

hmmmmmmmmmm

completely broken ceramic?

[crisp nest]

broken doesnt affect repair

lmfao

[unreal horizon]

^

[river heath]

oh w8 ur right lmao

[crisp nest]

ffs

[tight temple]

Hey guys, anyone new looking for a sherpa ? Im level 50 with Kappa more than willing to help anyone out.

[crisp nest]

try repairing gzhel it goes to like 50

its ceramic

zhuk would go to like 55-60 out of 75

[somber portal]

that's exactly how it works, for first shots 🙂
A 75% class 6 will resist shots at a much higher rate than a 100% class 5
M855A1 goes from <.5% against class 6 vs. >20% against a class 5. Just depends on the specific ammo

ngl they need to add more begginers assitance channels

[crisp nest]

they cant

theres no more vc slots in the server

WTF THEY ARE ADDING THE LABS MED TENTS TO FACTORY

IT LOOKS LIKE LABS AND IC IN HALF THE PICS

[somber portal]

#eft-chat-2 🙄

[crisp nest]

its gonna be so hard to do quests now

ur gonna run across 10 miles of pvp to get to circuit boards if u get a bad spawn

[unreal horizon]

It looks really good I'm excited

[naive depot]

where did you see this

[unreal horizon]

BSG Twitter

just now

[naive depot]

factory is fine the way it is now

[grim night]

#541725983544180769

[crisp nest]

i like factory a lot

very fun

esp. when i kill chads

but then its not fun

they always go in a duo

with their ratling friend

who hits me with ks

when im low

[hot tree]

oh boy i hope i wont have problems finding the way in new factory

let me see the new map

[crisp nest]

not released

only leaks

like pictures

[cinder hound]

wait

factory got released?

[crisp nest]

no the leaks of expansion

[cinder hound]

oh ok

[zinc tusk]

hi

[naive depot]

hey

[zinc tusk]

how y'all doin

[naive depot]

doing alright

[river heath]

i think i just got trolled

[unreal horizon]

yikes

[river heath]

by that guy saying he wanted to be a sherpa

almost went into reserve with them but they left lol

ok good my pmc isnt in raid

[zinc tusk]

is this the chat where i can get help ingame?

[naive depot]

yeah

[river heath]

yeah but its not support

[grim reef]

Forgot, what are the best mid 9x19 rounds? Ap?

[naive depot]

AP 6.3 yes

[zinc tusk]

i am not very good at this game playin it about 20 hours on my acc and I want to learn somethin

[naive depot]

you liking it?

[zinc tusk]

Ofc

[grim reef]

I hated the game for the first 15 hours

[naive depot]

it's tough but the sense of accomplishment with it is great

[grim reef]

Now I play all day

[zinc tusk]

at the first time i played it, it was fun

but I don't know these major tactis

how to get better and stuff

[naive depot]

a lot of it is map knowledge and experience

[grim reef]

I need to remember to use nades

[river heath]

same

[grim reef]

don;t they go straight thru armor

[winter plume]

Yeah its definitely not the easiest game at first. It takes a lot of reading, looting, dying to figure it out. You just get better over time. Check out some of pestilys guides on youtube

[river heath]

i could have naded this guy with nvgs since i had a ton of zaryas

[winter plume]

Ammo is everything as well

[river heath]

but i chose to try to flank

bad move

[crisp nest]

spam g and go rush them

[river heath]

was a 2 man squad

[unreal horizon]

zarya's are trash don't use them

[crisp nest]

use grenades to take space

dont use flashbangs

[grim reef]

My gear can't compete with the damn vector man

[crisp nest]

ive only ever gotten flashed once and i still won

[river heath]

no flash is useful at night

[grim reef]

Like I get forst hit but then his mag shreds my armor

[river heath]

since ppl use nvgs at night

but only at night

thats the only time i take flash grenades anyways

[crisp nest]

it does the same thing as day

lol

[scarlet monolith]

Flash ur teammates and spray

[river heath]

well its worse

cuz u take off nvgs

and its harder 2 c

[naive depot]

if you don't have the gear to take them head on you'll need to try to get a shot on their face from a sneaky angle

or run away if possible

[river heath]

yeah

dont do head on engagements if you can help it

[scarlet monolith]

Never have gear fear too

[unreal horizon]

the key to pvp in this game is learning to not give a fuck whatsoever

[river heath]

dont give a fuck about your gear

yeah

[unreal horizon]

play confidently and avoid playing scared. When you're scared you doubt yourself and doubt makes you make mistakes

[zinc tusk]

thanks guys

this is very helpfull

[river heath]

but if you get a gut feeling about something take it to heart

[wary valley]

Just dont look at ur money and if u die buy gear

[river heath]

ive gotten killed cuz i heard a grenade go off but decided to proceed anyways

or heard shots near me but wasnt careful

[grim reef]

When I fight or hear anything, my adrenalin rushs

[zinc tusk]

I dont even have adrenelin in this game

idk

[scarlet monolith]

I love fighting head on

I rush shots

[unreal horizon]

don't doubt yourself. If you think maybe you heard a footstep, you probably did

[wary valley]

Same

[river heath]

yeah

[zinc tusk]

its like kill or get killed

[scarlet monolith]

[zinc tusk]

you can have adrenalin in reallife xD

[wary valley]

Cause i literally lost my gear fear in every game when i started not caring about lp losses in league

[river heath]

gear fear only happens when you can actually lose gear...

dark souls doesnt give me gear fear

but i also cant lose any gear in that game

[unreal horizon]

you'll learn how easy it is to make money

then the kits are worthless

[winter plume]

Exactly.. and use the hell out of your scav haha. (I didn't till I was after level 10. Failure on my part)

[river heath]

no thats not the best idea

scav runs get boring if u keep doing em

[winter plume]

Well for money and cheap kits to start with

[river heath]

starting off sometimes u get better stuff than ur pmc has

like an sa58 on ur scav

or smth

[unreal horizon]

it literally is

[winter plume]

Exactly. Good way to learn some pvp also

[unreal horizon]

if you care about money, you scav every time it's off cooldown

[river heath]

i mean i care about money but doing woods is too ez

factory is too hard

customs usually doesnt offer much

as a scav that is

[unreal horizon]

customs is sort of a pvp map yeah

[river heath]

woods makes me complacent

as a scav

[wary valley]

Factory is a pvp map

[winter plume]

Yeah I usually just hit crackhouse and caches then see if I can find a dead body on customs but thats it

[river heath]

since 99% of all contacts are ai scavs on woods

[bronze laurel]

go scav reserve or interchange. fun maps to scav imo and profitable

[amber sage]

also play to your limits, dont bring out your whole stash into raid

[winter plume]

^^ definitely agree

[crisp nest]

factory not really hard

reserve is definitely best scav map

[river heath]

i mean im sorta noob so maybe im biased

[crisp nest]

as a scav its not hard

as a pmc it may be hard if u dont know the spawns

but as pmc u just clear the 1-3 spawns near you

[wary valley]

Isn’t reserve that map with the landminea

[unique forge]

ok boys so i have neglected strength. should i train with shotgun shells or tank bat in epsilon

[river heath]

no woods has mines

[unreal horizon]

as well as woods and shoreline, yes

[river heath]

yeah

wait wat

[unreal horizon]

tank bat

[wary valley]

Oh ive never been to reserve

[river heath]

reserve has them?

wait

no

[dry belfry]

Yes

[river heath]

i have a better idea

[unreal horizon]

outside the map

[river heath]

not tank bat

use

ammo case with shotgun shells

[unreal horizon]

lol

[river heath]

7mm buck is most cost effective

[unreal horizon]

not how that works

[unique forge]

i've just been doing tank bat on pistol runs

but if i do chad runs i'll just use shotgun shells...that's what i've heard is best at least

[unreal horizon]

can't put cases in container my guy

[river heath]

wait what

i couldve swore i could before xd

nvm thne

yeah tank bat ig

well if u wanna be cheap do 7mm buckshot

[unreal horizon]

tank bat is likely cheaper if you plan on maxing

[river heath]

depends on how often u die

in the long run tho tank bat is cheaper cuz ppl die often enough

if u wanna die less then just do night raids on woods

almost no one there

take 3k rubles and go 4 the bridge every time

[wary valley]

Bruv night raids on wood

[river heath]

?

[wary valley]

I mean everyone going there is probably gonna have night equip right?

[river heath]

i dont think ive died to a pmc on night woods yet

just avoid common areas 4 pvp and ur fine

avoid usec camp and scav bunker thats it

[wary valley]

Ive never played night

[river heath]

ppl rarely use bridge on woods

4 some reason

ive camped there a whole game and never died once

near the bridge

[wary valley]

Cause im scared of cultists and main maps i go to is factory customs shoreline and interchange

[river heath]

ah cultists

do offline at night

turn on bosses

go to cultist spots

look how they move

then avoid them in a real raid

its ez 2 spot them once u know how cultists move around

[unreal horizon]

cultists have very specific locations, I wouldn't be worried

[river heath]

no theres reason to worry

if they spawn at the checkpoint then the ez way 2 outskirts and zb is gone

also if sturman spawns 2 then u cant go sawmill route either'

[wary valley]

They have guns right?

[rotund canopy]

Most people who only do a couple of night raids won't even see cultists

[river heath]

and mamke no noise

[rotund canopy]

they also have like a 20%

spawn chance

[river heath]

the abandoned village spawns them too

i just avoid the village

and look to c if thyere at the checkpoint

[rotund canopy]

They just spawn around the marked circles

to be fair if u are sniping they are not difficult either

[river heath]

no duh

but

u need at least 100m of distance or so

or they pursue

afaik

[crisp nest]

20% on customs

26% on other maps

[rotund canopy]

I dont think it even has to be 100 meters, also when ur shooting from prone from a distance they wont spot u often

[river heath]

really?

[wary valley]

I mean

[river heath]

u sure about the prone thing

[wary valley]

1/5 seems like a high chance especially if there are multiple spots

[rotund canopy]

prone helps against many scavs and bosses, they just seem to be less aggro when ur prone

[crisp nest]

ive never seen woods

[crisp nest]

bcuz u can get sniped

[river heath]

ive seen em 2 times

[crisp nest]

and ppl see you are using it in the list

[river heath]

also u can hide off 2 the side

on the bridge

[crisp nest]

yes

[river heath]

uk that right

[crisp nest]

ik

[river heath]

also

[crisp nest]

i hide in the phone booths

u still can get sniped

[river heath]

also u can hide behind the sign

if ur solo

[crisp nest]

yes

you can still be sniped

[river heath]

the sign is hard 2 snipe

[crisp nest]

no its not

[river heath]

unless u mean sniper scavs

[small cairn]

What is BIS foregrip for m4?

[crisp nest]

no u can snipe it from the right and from above

[small cairn]

RK-2?

[river heath]

excuse me

above?

wtf do u mean aove

above

[crisp nest]

sniper rock

[river heath]

oh

well no duh

[crisp nest]

from the truck too

[rotund canopy]

U can snipe what location from snipers rock?

[river heath]

but

u cant snipe at night

lmao

[crisp nest]

bridge im pretty sure @rotund canopy

[rotund canopy]

bridge extract?

[crisp nest]

thermals

[crisp nest]

yes

[rotund canopy]

nah u cant xd

[river heath]

yeah but thats only got

[crisp nest]

ah ok

[river heath]

250m distance

[rotund canopy]

and thermal blacks out 250

[river heath]

mhm

[crisp nest]

but i usually snipe bridge from the truck

[rotund canopy]

u cant even snipe sawmill with thermal from snipers rock

[river heath]

bridge is 2 far

4 thermals

u cant get sniped at night lmao

[crisp nest]

yes u can

everyone on woods runs thermals

[river heath]

its significantly harder then

[crisp nest]

if you go somewhere you can get shot

[river heath]

also

i dont run thermals

on woods at night

[rotund canopy]

Not really, and most thermal users move around constantly

[crisp nest]

yeah thats what i mean

[rotund canopy]

they dont camp cuz the distances are too long

[crisp nest]

you will get spotted because they move a lot

[river heath]

dude u make it sound like woods is the most dangerous map lmao

[crisp nest]

by snipe i mean you cant see it

[rotund canopy]

i find woods the most fun map in the game and have a ton of games on it

[river heath]

do u do woods a lot

[crisp nest]

would u rather take a fight or just die from no where

[crisp nest]

yes

[rotund canopy]

wouldnt say i see many thermals

[crisp nest]

i play on day tho

[river heath]

but what if

u try 2 avoid players

[rotund canopy]

ive played like 250 woods raids

[river heath]

then woods is safe

thats what i do

[crisp nest]

but then u dont get loot

[river heath]

false

scav bunker has loot

so does the convoy

[crisp nest]

i dont want to do village runs

[rotund canopy]

i look for pvp usually, just go to snipers rock and people will come to u or u will spot them if u want fights

[crisp nest]

2 crates

[river heath]

also cache runs

yeah but it can spawn cms kits

and stuff like that

[crisp nest]

which u can barter for 16k

[river heath]

hmm interesting

[rotund canopy]

better off going for usec camps or med camp if u want loot runs

[crisp nest]

^ or village

[river heath]

no duh...

[crisp nest]

or the camp near scav bunker and scav bridge

[river heath]

but if ur just doing strength training night woods is safest

[crisp nest]

no strength training the map doesnt matter

[river heath]

wat?

[crisp nest]

you want a fast queue time though

[river heath]

oh

tru dat

[crisp nest]

you sprint 1 bar of stamina then kill yourself

[river heath]

really?

hmmmm

[crisp nest]

if you have filter on

itll max str in a day

[river heath]

filter?

oh

wat

damn

how do u max endurance then

same strat?

[crisp nest]

no

u just play

lol

[river heath]

lol

[crisp nest]

you can grind it but its not worth

[river heath]

fair enough

will they ever buff mag drills

lvling mag drills takes 4ever

[crisp nest]

u can level it and recoil control

by loading into a match

spraying a few mags of a kedr

then continuing with ur raid as normal

[north plover]

can anyone join vc with me, i just started and i have no idea what to do

[river heath]

which chat

[north plover]

lfg reserve 12?

[unique marsh]

the med camp on woods slaps

[thorny phoenix]

can someone tell me in which part of the map i am on intercharge?

NO WAY I HAD FULL INVENTORY AND I GOT KICKED CAUSE I SENT A SCREENSHOT AND IT SLOWED MY INTERNET

im literally gonna cry

[rough scarab]

im guessing here

[languid abyss]

front right of oli

toward scav camp

[languid abyss]

railway to the 9-10 oclock from your position. emercom 2-3oclock. power station on the other side of mall where you're facing.

[thorny phoenix]

tysm

i didint know theres a reconnect feature

[hearty mountain]

if i lose the secure case for prapor in factory do i got to get it again in customs?

[unreal horizon]

yes

which is why I'd advise joining a 5 man group so no other pmc's spawn

[rough scarab]

yes you have to go back for it

just wait like 5 minutes

thats what i did

[hearty mountain]

wdym?

[rough scarab]

i spawned across the map and just camped in the tunnels underneath

then once the shooting stopped i ran to the drop off

[hearty mountain]

ah ok

should i do a night or a daytime factory?

[unreal horizon]

this isn't an option is you spawn around forklift

day

[rough scarab]

if you spawn near forklift simply survive

also isnt there a stairway to the tunnel by fork

[unreal horizon]

yeah, once you run past 2 other spawns

who will be pushing you as well

[thorny phoenix]

thanks to your help i extracted 2nd time in a row <3

you guys are amazing

[hearty mountain]

do i just crouch to plant it?

[rough scarab]

lay down

[crisp nest]

yes

[rough scarab]

theres a door next to the drop off so people might see you

[languid abyss]

not sure why i cant message you.

[worldly knoll]

I just hit level 15. Do you guys have any kit suggestions? preferably budget focused

[crisp nest]

rat rig

ratnik

[languid abyss]

toz > good slugs

[languid abyss]

toz + good slugs

[hearty mountain]

i died

dam bro

[languid abyss]
