Lighting in the cage area is weird

[south oak]

why are wendy exfils

worth so much

if they're only armor class 3

[compact token]

Yeah it think when both people have lights on shotguns do better

[south oak]

but then something like vulkan which is armor class 6 is only like 80k roubles

[compact token]

But he had an 855a1 m4 so it's not like my torso was going to soak up a lot of shots

[crisp nest]

please try to think why

realize vulkan covers ears

and will still get 1 tap by m61

when exfil has high ricochet

[dry belfry]

Yeah, can't do much about that.

[compact token]

Ratnik is the only helmet worth using

[south oak]

but the vulkan has saved me

from scavs

and low levels

more than a wendy exfil has

[compact token]

Most hitboxes covered by high ricochet chance at the lowest price

[south oak]

idk I'm just a noob

[crisp nest]

if they know you are there, yes

[bronze spoke]

good players dont need armor vs low levels and scavs

[crisp nest]

low level cant pen exfil or vulkan i dont get how vulkan saves u more

[bronze spoke]

I usually get killed before I get a shot off or even before I even see them

[crisp nest]

unless u buy vulkan faceshield

also you run exfil with faceshield

or you run coyote

[south oak]

I got gangbanged by like 4 player scavs on interchange when I had slick and exfil

pretty sure I would've survived if I had a vulkan

that's why I asked cause I don't feel like putting another 300k into the helm 😂

[crisp nest]

because

you can have headset

and not be deaf

[bold kernel]

can someone help me with extractions and help me get loot and not die

what maps

any

what lvl are you for starters

2

ah ok

i think

well you should be trying to learn customs first

or under 5

since thats where all ur starter quests are

ok

theres a good map for customs hol up

[cinder hound]

Hi

[bold kernel]

anyone want to play tho

this

[cinder hound]

I reccomend reserve

[bold kernel]

and teach me

ok thanks for the map

run offline and just learn the big points of interest

and scav spawns

reserve is rly good for loot too

[cinder hound]

Offline might seem boring

[bold kernel]

well its important tho

[cinder hound]

But if u dont know how to extract

[bold kernel]

and better than dying and losing stuff all the time

[cinder hound]

Even if u kill 10 pmcs

U lose all the loot

[dry belfry]

You can learn extracts on Offline too.

It's a very good suggestion

[crude river]

you have same detail/style maps for others?

[bold kernel]

nah this is the only one i have for customs in this style

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov

you can check out this tho

it has a bunch of good maps

[bronze spoke]

Every map except reserve

[crude river]

Word, thanks

[bronze spoke]

I use mapgenie when trying a new map

[bold kernel]

yeye

i just google a reserve map or somethin

i dont really need a map for reserve anymore tho for the most part

[compact token]

I might switch to IC from reserve

kinda tired of my map being cut in half by snipers

and only one half has exfils

[tough gull]

[bold kernel]

want to play anyone

[craggy sapphire]

..... I was fully kitted and i killed five chads and died to a player scav. I had a face shield on

MY new fave gun is the mdr

IT is insane

[unreal horizon]

yeah 308 mdr best gun

[craggy sapphire]

Yeah

[compact token]

I flipped d2 and the game spawned 4 regular scavs

I feel so scammed

[keen sluice]

still worth it to buy bitcoin farm?

[craggy sapphire]

Yes

[unreal horizon]

yeah

[craggy sapphire]

100%

I got 12 dogtags in two raids

[barren pollen]

So I have a lot of connectivity issues (booted from raids), anyone have some possible solutions?

[bronze spoke]

change your selection of servers to only connect you to closer ones

[barren pollen]

Yea, so i'm based out of Denmark, i tried choosing, servers like Sweden and Germany, but i'm still getting kicked😅

[bronze spoke]

gonna have to try improve your internet connection somehow then

[barren pollen]

i know I've tried literally anything known to man

[cosmic tinsel]

are you hardwired to your router

[unique marsh]

my brain is attached to my router yes

[barren pollen]

no I use Wifi

[cosmic tinsel]

so thats one weakness

how close are you to your router

[unique marsh]

10 km

[barren pollen]

pretty far, but its a new problem for me

[small cairn]

[cosmic tinsel]

have you run a packet loss test

[barren pollen]

no

[cosmic tinsel]

man i must be an alien

3 ideas beyond the scope of what is known to man

[barren pollen]

hahahahaha

[cosmic tinsel]

try a packet loss test online

[barren pollen]

okay i'll try that

[cosmic tinsel]

have you done "fps 2" in game

that provides additional data

the loss% and RTT are the important ones

i think those are both included in fps1, but if anything goes red it should give you a warning as well

[barren pollen]

how do I do that

[cosmic tinsel]

tilde

"fps 2" lowercase matters

fps 0 to turn it off

[barren pollen]

how do I open the console?

[cosmic tinsel]

tilde

[unreal horizon]

~

[barren pollen]

ahhh thx

do I need to do it in a raid?

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, i'd do a scav raid

and watch what those numbers do

[barren pollen]

okay

[cosmic tinsel]

you shouldnt dc if ping is below like, 170

and if your packet loss is at 0

if you're getting packet loss issues, you're gonna want to rule out wifi issues by running a cable to your pc

or trying on a computer that is connected to the router

[barren pollen]

okay ill try the things you mentioned

[cosmic tinsel]

heck yeah

also if you find out its a wifi issue, its possible to buy something called a "powerline adapter" (at least on US AC power) that let you run internet through power outlets

which is easier than dealing w punchin holes in your wall, and doesnt run the risk of upsetting parents/landlords

[barren pollen]

Here is the data

[unreal horizon]

that shouldn't be kicking you

no loss and average ping

[barren pollen]

Yea that what i dont understand

im trying to just stay in the raid and se if im kicked

[plain shale]

@barren pollen can you run LAN cable from the router to the PC just to test if you get kicked from raid?

[barren pollen]

no i only have one at my mothers house sry

[crisp nest]

my friend kept telling me tilde i was like wtf is that

then he sent a picture of the key

i call it squiggly

[cinder hound]

Tilda?

[barren pollen]

hahahah, didnt know either

[cinder hound]

Just tell them its the key under escape

🙃

[plain shale]

@barren pollen do you know how to use the command prompt in WIndows?

[barren pollen]

yea a bit

[cinder hound]

Go to bottom left search

Type cmd

Ez clap

How does one quit playing tarkov

[plain shale]

@barren pollen type the fallowing there and wait for a minute. Then show the result here.

ping 172.67.41.203 -t

[barren pollen]

okay

[plain shale]

Hit Ctrl+C to stop it and type "exit" to close the prompt

[barren pollen]

here

[plain shale]

Wait for a minute

until the whole screen fills up

[barren pollen]

it stopped itself

[plain shale]

ping 172.67.41.203 -t

-t is important

[barren pollen]

and i should just let it run?

[plain shale]

yes for about a minute, until the whole screen fills up

[barren pollen]

okay

[barren pollen]

and then

[plain shale]

Just show it then

[barren pollen]

okay

[plain shale]

Thats the main BSG server, that you use for inventory management and stuff

[plain shale]

@barren pollen darn, that ping e super for a wifi connection.

[barren pollen]

Denmark😂

Okay ill do a scav run and see if I get kicked

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah

it looks good

[barren pollen]

Just got kicked in a scav run with no packet loss

but really thx for all the help guys

[cosmic tinsel]

sounds like you got gremlins above our pay grade

[barren pollen]

hahahaha

its unfortunate cuz I really love the game

[heavy laurel]

God getting pistol kills is a pain when ur starting this late in the wipe

[cosmic tinsel]

never easy, but worse now

ive been toyin with the idea of resettin my acct

[heavy laurel]

its not that bad when ur doing it right at the start

[cosmic tinsel]

to see how bad it is

[heavy laurel]

pretty bad

[unreal horizon]

i've been thinking about it for a few weeks now

but I think i'm ok to ride it out this wipe

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah

real on the fence

[heavy laurel]

honestly most of the quests arent bad cause hardly anyone in quest areas anymore, but the bpistol kills one sucks ^^

[unreal horizon]

I just dont want to regret it

also I sorta want to keep farming xp for the black pants lol

[heavy laurel]

i been running factory with graches and its just not happening, fully geared guys with faceshields everytime ^^

[kindred slate]

how often does the server wipe?

[heavy laurel]

whenever lord nikita feels like it

[unreal horizon]

7-8 months

but its not announced

[harsh rain]

whenever our lord nikita decides to bless us with one

[kindred slate]

how long has it been since the last one

[unreal horizon]

5 months

[harsh rain]

last one was december

[kindred slate]

so we are supposedly getting close to one

[unreal horizon]

I think June but who knows

[heavy laurel]

well yeah, their pretty inconsistent,i think the wipe before this one ran alot longer then previous ones

[unreal horizon]

also this wipe was kinda shit because of bitcoin

[kindred slate]

hmmmmm strange

what are the best shotgun shells to use?

[unreal horizon]

8.5, flechette, or ap-20

[kindred slate]

like value for money, cos i dont wanna get ripped off

[kindred slate]

sweet

[unreal horizon]

8.5 2 shots legs with 60% accuracy, flechette shreds armor (4 hits for class 6), and ap-20 is a slug for headshots and body on low geared players

[heavy laurel]

yeah flechettes are real good bang for the buck once you unlock them from jäger

[unreal horizon]

iirc they're under 200 on the flea which is probably worth

then 70 or so from jaeger is just a steal

[heavy laurel]

ok i think im going to give up for the wipe, shouldnt have reset my account xD damn pistol kills quest

[unreal horizon]

lmao

just tap heads with 5-7

ss190 doesnt care about visors

[harsh rain]

m8 just finish the quest

[cinder hound]

Or

Use sr 1mp

Stronger than ss190

Cheaper 2

[heavy laurel]

eh, im probably going to end up using a ks23 with flashbang rounds

[cinder hound]

I taught a lvl 3 and that pistok kill took us 2 runs

Ez

[unreal horizon]

sr1mp is dope, but i feel betrayed by the name

this thing isnt automatic

[heavy laurel]

i suck with pistols tough, suck with pretty much everything that forces me use ironm sights

[cinder hound]

Who cared about automatic if u can headtap

Why are u using iron sights

Just hipfire with laser

🙃

[unreal horizon]

if you care that much put an rmr on a glock or something

[cinder hound]

Do u play csgo

Legit just hipfire lol

[unreal horizon]

just yee haw big iron time

[cinder hound]

Heres how i finished the pistol kill task

I bought 10 glocks

Loaded with 1 mag each ap 6.3

Run in with just glock, rush spawns in factory

Die put 1 more on go again

[unreal horizon]

easiest shit ever

[cinder hound]

Finished using only 2 glocks

LOL

Mechanic the rest

Easiest quest of my life

[unreal horizon]

counter offer, admire the 8 glocks

[cinder hound]

Counter counter offer

[unreal horizon]

bring them to cripple any hatchlings without wasting ammo lmfao

[cinder hound]

Go in beginners assistance

And give a noob 2 glocks each

[unreal horizon]

god I wish you could dual wield

[cinder hound]

Shit would legit be a shit show

LOL

[unreal horizon]

dual PMs with big drums

[cinder hound]

Imagine if u could throw your red rebel at people

Headshot red rebel kills

[unreal horizon]

I wish

[cinder hound]

If we could strangle people in this game

Imagine how many memes there would be

Jump from roof and strangle from behind

🤣

[unreal horizon]

I want dragging bodies

[cinder hound]

For real dude

We should be able to move bodies

[unreal horizon]

or just pushing people

[cinder hound]

Loot somewhere safe

[unreal horizon]

walking up behind someone and pushing them would be too good

[cinder hound]

Lol imagine if physics was a thing

Push someone down factory stairs

[unreal horizon]

inertia gaming

[cinder hound]

Altyn slick? No problem

Push

Imagine they put throwing stars in the game

Just do damage and cause bleeds

So many memes 🤣

[unreal horizon]

[bold kernel]

I think I’m done with this game. Haven’t had a chance to play much since Christmas wipe and come back and I can’t even get close to the truck to get the pocket watch.

[unreal horizon]

[heavy laurel]

[loud herald]

[fringe monolith]

anyone tryna run a few pmc raids in customs? I have to do some tasks but I also want to play with people who are in a similar situation..tried playing with the regualr lobbies here and i couldn't keep up

I do know the map well but not callouts, hotspots etc..i'm level 13

[pastel gale]

just started playing again have not played in a long time and basically know nothing except the basics anyone want to help me?

[lament sundial]

I’m boutta go to bed but if you’re on in like 6 hrs we can go

[south oak]

hodl bitcoin or sell?

[unreal horizon]

sell

[south oak]

ok mike wazowski

[unreal horizon]

for like the 30k you might get for waiting, probably not worth

and if I knew bitcoin would jump i'd buy it irl

[south oak]

why did it suddenly drop so much

[unreal horizon]

BSG hard nerfed it

because 800k+ bitcoins were admittedly pretty OP

[compact token]

at reasonable gfx levels they make like 50k a day now though

[unreal horizon]

wym?

[compact token]

fuel is ~150k/day and 3gfx makes ~198k/day

[unreal horizon]

I'm about to share the math for using blue fuel for profit, 1 sec

[compact token]

I did the math on fuels yesteday

blue is 8.5% cheaper

[unreal horizon]

rn with blue fuel craft and 10 gpus (i call this an average amount any player can get) is about 130k per 24 hours, which is pretty shit but its money

assuming you craft other stuff in your hideout, fuel is easy to pay for and all the money is free

[modern yacht]

Anyone fancy a blast

[somber portal]

not a bug 🙂 the lock wouldn't work with a pad on the back IRL

[compact token]

well who says it needs to be locked

[crisp nest]

[unreal horizon]

does this mean people used this exit? because I never set foot near scav camp this raid

[compact token]

if its green when you aren't standing in it its been used or is turned on

[unreal horizon]

never seen it green lmao

[rose rock]

It means someone made sure it open to use iirc

[unreal horizon]

I spawned on emercom side and never touched highway

guess some gamers teamed up

[wispy zealot]

whats the name of the attachment for canted sight?

the mount

[unreal horizon]

b-23 or b-33?

i think

[somber portal]

MPR45

[unreal horizon]

yikes not even close

I assumed it was the same as the rk-1 canted

[compact token]

thats the VSS tac mount

[bleak crypt]

where am i in customs?

[compact token]

sniper roadblock

[unreal horizon]

far right side of the road

[bleak crypt]

thanks

[compact token]

oh yeah that's scav CP not sniper block

[unreal horizon]

[haughty tulip]

exfil ricochet huge scam

[unreal horizon]

where gamers

[small cairn]

[unreal horizon]

Im ready to load 15 mins to get crabbed on 🙂

[wispy needle]

is the TOZ-106 any good or just a meme?

[crisp nest]

bad

[wispy needle]

like how bad

[unreal horizon]

worst shotgun in game

[small cairn]

meme tier bad

[wispy needle]

yeah i know but is it good budget loadout or do i got back to 1 in the chamber aks?

[small cairn]

Literally just buy a sks and some ps ammo

[unreal horizon]

use sks with ps

lol

[small cairn]

that is your budget loadout

[somber portal]

Just run a 153 or SKS 😆

[small cairn]

what early game ammo is there for 153?

isn't magnum buck trader lvl 3?

or is that just me being

[unreal horizon]

correct

[small cairn]

googled it, it is jaeger 2

[unreal horizon]

wait what

[small cairn]

am just smoll brain

[somber portal]

it's not like 7mm won't fuck people up 😉

[unreal horizon]

dang

[small cairn]

Just makes it better

[unreal horizon]

well i'm off to camp in a bush or tree

[somber portal]

Of course, 320 damage isn't anything to sneeze at

[wispy needle]

UHHHH

i may have a problem

[unreal horizon]

restart game

[wispy needle]

an economic problem

[unreal horizon]

scav run

[somber portal]

Run your scav

[wispy needle]

i have been

[unreal horizon]

then you should be fine

[wispy needle]

i only have 2k roubles

[unreal horizon]

tbh if you're dying on scav there's something seriously wrong with your gameplay

[wispy needle]

what the fuck did i buy to become soooooooo poor

my scav is a mp 153, time to run factory 👍

[unreal horizon]

run a map like inter or shoreline and hit caches, remember you are poor, trying to make money

[wispy needle]

ok

[unreal horizon]

and focus on surviving

[somber portal]

survival is the best money maker in the game

[unreal horizon]

just dont lose your kit. come out with a single item and you made money

its a survival game, you dont need to fight everyone, or anyone for that matter. all the matters is getting out

[stone moss]

It is a survival game but it is also a PVP game. You should be trying to fight everyone because that is what nikita wants

[unreal horizon]

lol

[stone moss]

Kill them before they kill you and you survive

[dry belfry]

Can't tell if troll

[unreal horizon]

cant either

[stone moss]

What is trolling about what I posted? Almost nobody plays this game as a survival game. They play it as a very realistic mil-sim to get into fights with other people. People will literally go out of their way to hunt down another player unless they are going to sit in a corner to wait for some dude.

People have the good loot and if you kill them, you get their loot and your biggest threat is gone.

[unreal horizon]

"because that is what nikita wants" you'd know right

rofl

[wispy needle]

is a MULE good?

[unreal horizon]

situational, but yeah

[dry belfry]

People do not have the good loot

[wispy needle]

or pnv-10t

no like money wise

[dry belfry]

But also, by your logic people either W LMB or sit in a corner, which is stupid logic

[unreal horizon]

this game is open ended. If nikita wanted you to play a certain way, there'd be a tutorial urging you to play in that way

[dry belfry]

So I can understand why you'd be so foolish to believe that you're right

[unreal horizon]

You cant seriously be using "thats what nikita wants" as a point

[stone moss]

Mike, considering the changes that they have made to the game over the years, I would say he wants people to engage each other. They have pvp tournaments for crying out loud. Man, I bother laying down some facts and people just accuse me of being a troll. Unbelieveable.

[unreal horizon]

if you were supposed to kill everyone on sight, as you suggested, why is karma planned?

[dry belfry]

You haven't laid down any facts though, just opinions

[unreal horizon]

1head

fucking 1head mate

[dry belfry]

Why are FIR quests a thing if Nikita didn't want people to loot the map?

[unreal horizon]

[dry belfry]

[unreal horizon]

scav and pmc karma are planned, this invalidates your entire fucking point

[dry belfry]

[grim reef]

I got an HK with 37 vert recoil, is that good?

[unreal horizon]

yes

[dry belfry]

tfw you just obliterated some 1head

[unreal horizon]

its not best in slot but its very meta

[dry belfry]

Mans is lvl23 now, grinding hard

[grim reef]

Also hex with 35 hp worth using?

or should I vender?

[dry belfry]

No point in using armor that thicc tbh

[unreal horizon]

hex max is 50 so its not great, sell it or maybe use it on a cheaper loadout

[bleak sun]

toz > m4a1

[unreal horizon]

its hard to argue with that

toz simply outclasses the m4 in every metric 🤷

[rose rock]

it shoots more per shot

its a clear winner

🤷‍♂️

[unreal horizon]

other than ergo recoil and rpm but shhhhhhh

[wispy needle]

i am running mp-133 on inter, should i bring armor? and if so what kind

[rose rock]

dood why bother with rpm if you got Shots per Shot?

[unreal horizon]

technically it has a 240 rpm as it shoots 8 pellets per shot

[small cairn]

ofc its worth using, maybe not with your top tier gear, but something midtier- lower end of meta

[grim reef]

Well I killed someone and they had a 35 HP hex, I can't flea it and if I vender it will I get my money's worth or should I just use it

[dry belfry]

How much will vendor give

[grim reef]

89k

[unreal horizon]

100% keep

[dry belfry]

Sounds like a freakin good haul to me

That's almost two baby poop armors

[grim reef]

I also still have a 100% hex and a 100% slick I am saving

[dry belfry]

2 level 4 armors is 8

8 > 5

[unreal horizon]

i've been waiting in this fucking tree for 30 mins give me a chad pls

[dry belfry]

I was just about to load in

[unreal horizon]

I hear fighting at scav point

[dry belfry]

Stream

[grim reef]

Are F1 nades cheap on flea? or is it better to barter them

[dry belfry]

Historically the lowest theyve ever been

[unreal horizon]

theyre like 8k, I cant imagine a barter is cheaper

[unreal horizon]

also idk if you know this but F1s roll to the left, could be useful some time

[rough scarab]

It’s easy to find the barter stuff in raid

[grim reef]

I just throw them from behind cover on top of the enemey

I blew up a chad this way

[unreal horizon]

boom

[wispy needle]

any vendors by any chance sell an internal SKS mag?

[unreal horizon]

probably prapor or jaeger

[grim reef]

F1 to the Thorax

[wispy needle]

lvl 1

[unreal horizon]

i'd have to assume prapor does

[rose rock]

jaeger I

[wispy needle]

shit

[crisp nest]

barter is 20k

[unreal horizon]

assuming you're level 2 (which you dont even need to play a raid to get) you can go into woods rn and unlock jaeger

[wispy needle]

ahhh yes

and where does hunter live?

[unreal horizon]

search the quest "introduction" on the wiki, has a full guide

you can accept the quest from mechanic after accepting gunsmith 1

[wispy needle]

should i bring pew pew or hatchet

[rose rock]

pew pew, you gotta extract

[wispy needle]

ok

i got a sks 20 rnd mag, any armor i should bring

[rough scarab]

Paca or press

[rose rock]

^

just dont stick to open spots and you'll be good enough to go

[rough scarab]

It’s mostly scav protection so don’t expect them to save you from players if they’re running good ammo

[rose rock]

that and careful on mtn sniper

[rough scarab]

If you get ruaf spawn just go in a diagonal and you’ll find jaeger

[haughty tulip]

Imagine a lvl 42 that can't kill raiders

[small cairn]

Couldn't be me

[haughty tulip]

I feel that he has never played reserve ngl

I was waiting for a shot at him

But as soon as he turned power raiders spawnd

[rough scarab]

When I started playing tarkov I would hide from scavs cause I thought they were all raiders

[haughty tulip]

I hear a bit of shooting and a minute later total silence

I say ok might be a low lvl player right

And I get his tags

This serves as a reminder

That being timmy is not level based but a state of mind

I also find it odd that raiders go under king

They all went up the metal stairs

So be careful if you decide to run downthere

[scenic mesa]

can i get someone to help me with some quest?

[haughty tulip]

Sure

Ask away

[scenic mesa]

i need someone to help me with finding some stuff ingame, ik were to find it but i just want some backup and maybe a little more guidance cos i still dont rly know what im doing

[haughty tulip]

what stuff

You can ask whatever

I'm selling stuff rn so it'll take abit

[scenic mesa]

pile of meds, poroxide (to make the CALOK 9) and if i cant find those then the calok 9 is what i need to find so i can make selewas for that quest

also need to get scav kills on woods

[haughty tulip]

let me find what is calok9 real quick

Wait

You mean calok-b?

[scenic mesa]

oh and i need bolts and a leatherman for the workbench

[haughty tulip]

the hemostat?

[scenic mesa]

oh thats a b lmao

looked like a 9 mb

[haughty tulip]

Ok you can buy the leatherman from mechanic for 23.5k

it's called hemostat short

[scenic mesa]

at lvl1?

[haughty tulip]

yes

[scenic mesa]

oh ok lmao

[haughty tulip]

You can find botls in any bag, jacket, tool box in the game

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Jacket

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Toolbox

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Sport_bag

Image for reference '

I'll recommend going customs offline a lot for starters

You can also find a sherpa that can help you do quests

Woods is as random of a map as you can get

Besides big and probably the hardest to travel or learn

[scenic mesa]

yea i was playing with someone else and we had to go woods for the one prapor quest and that took us quite a bit lmao

[haughty tulip]

Yeah that is one huge map

[small cairn]

after you get compass it gets way easier to play on woods, IMO ofc

[scenic mesa]

yea i got the compass now

[haughty tulip]

But a sherpa will definitely be what you need to get started on quests

Yeah still hard af to travel

[grim reef]

Altyn worth keeping?

Found one after killing a player scav one

it is FIR so I can flea it

[rose rock]

if you dont mind the noise loss, sure

[grim reef]

Came with the face shield

[haughty tulip]

It's a good helmet

If you get used to pvp it comes in handy

If you don't plan on pvp or you are not yet good at pvp

Sell

[rose rock]

^

[haughty tulip]

So you have an idea, you need 7n31 on 9mm to pen that helmet

anything lower doesn't pen a full durability helmet

chances increase as it goes down tho

That helmet is the nemesis of bad ammo

[manic shard]

I am pretty new to tarkov so if anyone is willing to help that would be great. Thanks

[haughty tulip]

Ask away

That's what the chat is for

If you need ingame guide you have to find a sherpa

ingame as in playing with someone

[pure mist]

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[haughty tulip]

God damn making roubles is so much work

Selling stuff is annoying since it doesnt sell fast

So I didn;t know that even if you can't hear your own footprints someone with earpiece can

10/10 realistic

[dreamy turtle]

thats why you always wear a headset

[haughty tulip]

I can't be picky as a scav

Plus that shouldn't be a thing

[grim reef]

Going to dorms to get a quest done, should I use BS rounds or just use the 7n39?

[haughty tulip]

Which one you have more of

[grim reef]

Like 70 of each

[haughty tulip]

I mean

[grim reef]

I can just be either

buy

[haughty tulip]

You have money for it

[grim reef]

Yeah

Im sitting at 3 mill and can just do cache runs anyways

so fuck it

[haughty tulip]

Hmmm

[rough scarab]

Top load 10 7n39 and the rest bs

[haughty tulip]

Thin is

Well yeah

You can mix it

[rough scarab]

That’s what I do to save a bit on bs

I have a bunch of fir igolnik so I just top load it on my first two mags

[haughty tulip]

I just get loads of bs since I just play reserve

1200 rounds of bs by just not using 5.45 and playing reserve now and then

[grim reef]

You think 120 rounds will suffice a full raid?

[haughty tulip]

How much pvp are you planning on doing

[rough scarab]

As long as you land your shots

[grim reef]

Not activly looking for fights

[haughty tulip]

If I go dorms to pvp for example with 5.45

[rough scarab]

120 isn’t a lot

[haughty tulip]

Well

He's going to dorms

If he rushes there's a big chance he's forced to pvp

[rough scarab]

Yea

[haughty tulip]

If he waits he might just get in and out no problem

Like

Camp outside and let it play out

If you really want to get the quest done

[grim reef]

Then again wipe is coming so why gear fear

[rough scarab]

Pray for a good spawn and pop a hot rod

[haughty tulip]

That also

Damn

[rough scarab]

I did that to do golden swag lol

[haughty tulip]

That's a cheap sg9t

Sj6

my bad

But that;s good plan right there

[grim reef]

Im wearing a hex so might aswell use my altyn and charge in

[haughty tulip]

I'll call it budget sj6

If you are runnning a hex and altyn

you better take plenty of ammo

Also do not hold angles

Make sure you peek shoot

and back to cover

Holding angles in this game is the same as asking to get killed

No wait i got one better

It's like throwing your gun and running with your meele trying to kill someone

[grim reef]

Ill bring some nades to

Chuck em in rooms

[haughty tulip]

You will need them to push someone

[grim reef]

I feel like F1 is the only nade to actutally kill

[haughty tulip]

Hmmm

[grim reef]

I threw a vog at my feet and got scratched

[haughty tulip]

That's a good nade to make plays

The vog is for the kills

[grim reef]

Also

fir the tac, Do I run the laser plus the flashlight

or just laser

[haughty tulip]

Flashlight 10/10

Makes enemy have a harder time to see you

Hence he might not headshot you right away

[grim reef]

Alirght

[haughty tulip]

If you want cheap then just laser

[grim reef]

Going to load some mags, wish me luck'

[haughty tulip]

I know you'll get in there and make it out fat

Don't forget your marked room key

[grim reef]

?

What is that

[haughty tulip]

You are going dorms right

[grim reef]

quest key?

I have never really gone dorms yet

[haughty tulip]

I can't give you the name

[grim reef]

so I am not sure

[haughty tulip]

But there's a marked room key

25/25 uses

Big loot if you are lucky

See if you can find it before you go

[grim reef]

worth the 190k?

on flea?

[haughty tulip]

Yes

[unreal horizon]

Yeah that'll pay for itself in 1 or 2 uses

[haughty tulip]

Eh

could be 4-5

Could be 1st use

It will pay itself tho

That's for sure

[grim reef]

#21ws pays for it self in 2 uses

def recommend for interchnage

[haughty tulip]

Go check where's the room btw

[unreal horizon]

Mine payed for itself 5 times in the 1st use

[haughty tulip]

ahahhaha

nice

[grim reef]

Yeah I found NVG my first time

[haughty tulip]

mine was from a scav so it pay itself before I even used it

[bold kernel]

where to find fuel for my generator (which maps)

[haughty tulip]

hmm

[bold kernel]

thanks in advance

[grim reef]

Interchange

[haughty tulip]

Idk which ones got the most spawns

I guess

[grim reef]

But the mall is scary

[haughty tulip]

Watch a youtube vid?

[bold kernel]

so far found my first fuel in the woods

[haughty tulip]

Well that ain't the best spot to find it

[grim reef]

Just slave away at cache runs and sometimes you find it in a cache

[haughty tulip]

That's rare tho

I remember I used to do on my scav stash runs

on customs

And I probably got 2 from the hundreds of stashes

[unreal horizon]

Cache runs aren't good if you're looking for 1 item

[haughty tulip]

Yep

[unreal horizon]

The odds of finding any particular item in a stash are incredibly low

[haughty tulip]

Here i go night time reserve again

[bold kernel]

hmm yeah ive been doing stashes, kinda just played peaceful

[haughty tulip]

let's see what happens

[bold kernel]

on yours truly, customs

good luck

never played interchange so gonna do a run with nothing to see what its about

[rough scarab]

I’ve only scaved interchange

I wanna learn that and reserve before wipe

[toxic isle]

Anyone want to show me the ropes?

[cinder hound]

Join beginner assistance calls

😊

[toxic isle]

There's so many people though

[cinder hound]

Hopefully ur not swayed from the game cuz ur joining late wipe ahaha

Ye its usually like that

But some of them are helpful

[toxic isle]

Oh I legit cant even kill a scav without getting my head popped

[cinder hound]

Highly reccomend offline raid

[toxic isle]

For missions

[cinder hound]

Go to factory offline bot amount to high

[rough scarab]

Offline first

[cinder hound]

And average like 15 - 20 scav kills

As online difficulty

Then start playing again

U will notice a difference

If u are playing scared of scavs

[toxic isle]

I know where the scavs are lol players are just one hitting me lol

[cinder hound]

Ur going to die alot

[toxic isle]

Im not afraid of scavs

[cinder hound]

Ya like what im trying to explain to u is that

If u cant eliminate a scav in 5-10 seconds

[toxic isle]

In customs

[cinder hound]

Players roll up

[toxic isle]

They dont spawn until later

[cinder hound]

Cuz if u look at the pmc spawns right

Wherever u spawn, you have to cross the other side of the map to extract right

That means if u have a middle spawn

You have to keep moving

If u dont, you have to fight your side of pmc spawns and the opposite side pmc spawns

[toxic isle]

Yeah I have extractions and scav kills down I just die as soon as I go to where scavs should be lol

[unreal horizon]

thats a good lesson for all maps, not just factory. As safe as you feel sitting still, you'll meet less resistance if you keep moving

[cinder hound]

^^

I know what ur saying but im telling u

If ur playing slow with scavs

[unreal horizon]

its sort of counter intuitive, but just keep moving trust me

[cinder hound]

And taking a minute or 2 to kill one scav

Ur going to get rolled up by a pmc

And thats how u die

Then u either fight the pmc or dip

[sage heath]

whats the key for skier extortionist task?

[cinder hound]

Unknown key

[unreal horizon]

"unknown key" lmao

[toxic isle]

Hmm okay so get better ammo at level 3 lol

[cinder hound]

What gun are you using

[rough scarab]

Unknown key spawns by ruaf extract on customs

[unreal horizon]

an SKS with PS ammo will give you a chance against some helmets

[rough scarab]

In the dead body in the bush

[cinder hound]

If ur not using ak or sks below lvl 10

[toxic isle]

M4 1a or m1a or svds

[cinder hound]

Ur oding it wrong

[toxic isle]

Or m700

[cinder hound]

M4 ur not gonna "find good ammo"

M700 same

M1a same

[toxic isle]

Or op sks

[cinder hound]

Svd maybe u can find snb

[unreal horizon]

once you're lvl 10 (flea market & PK 2) I highly recommend m80, its like 2.5 dollars per shot and pens class 4, excellent budget ammo

[cinder hound]

But ur using all the wrong guns if u want to have strong ammo

Op sks till lvl10

Or u can go to reserve and find shit ton of bt everywherre

[toxic isle]

This

[cinder hound]

And then u can run aks

[unreal horizon]

generally if you cant buy ammo for a gun you find, you should just vendor it

[cinder hound]

Ya

Dont use that

[placid talon]

theres a simple way to make money

[cinder hound]

Sell it to mechanic

[placid talon]

use an sks bp rounds dovetail mount and pso scope

most broken gun

[cinder hound]

Thats my hard true advice

U sell that svd

[toxic isle]

Kk

[unreal horizon]

yes, with the excess of BP he'll have before lvl 10

[cinder hound]

U may find snb if u want

[placid talon]

@unreal horizondont worry

bp on me

[cinder hound]

But if u cant find snb

U better not be using this svd

Ur just gonna donate it to someone

[toxic isle]

So just use the sks

[cinder hound]

Yes

Sks only till lvl 10

U will thank me l8r

[placid talon]

sks bp rounds dovetail mount pso

[cinder hound]

Ps is good still

[placid talon]

no

[cinder hound]

He cant buy bp

[placid talon]

not when u want to drop big juicers

[cinder hound]

Are u trolling

He lvl3

[placid talon]

i will give him bp

[cinder hound]

Nani

[placid talon]

i will supply the man with bp

[cinder hound]

Sheeesh

[placid talon]

cause i am the sks god

[cinder hound]

Free bp

Give me too

🙃

[toxic isle]

Im na though lol

[placid talon]

i litterally discarded all my loot

and climbed back up due to sks

[cinder hound]

Sks is meta gun

🙃

[placid talon]

i mean

i am the sks man

[toxic isle]

Lol

[placid talon]

and my fellow sks teamates

make the big bucks

then when u get the gear sets run them

[crisp nest]

thats not how scav spawns work

they can spawn anytime

as the time goes on its more likely theyve already spawned

[toxic isle]

Oh

[crisp nest]

so ur kinda correct

they are there later usually

but ive had 4 scavs at woods village 2 minutes in

[unreal horizon]

the biggest weakness of sks man is his goggles you can see from 2 miles away

[grim reef]

I made it out fuckin fat

[unreal horizon]

lesgooo!

[unreal horizon]

sheesh

[crisp nest]

bro

how do you get case from marked

i only get shitty guns

im actually gonna make a chart of my drops lol

[grim reef]

I spawned hella far from Dorms so I killed the Chad that won dorms

[crisp nest]

oh

[grim reef]

Not real PVP

[crisp nest]

3rd party

[grim reef]

but hey

[haughty tulip]

HOLY FUCK

I am chad now

I usually don't share but

one sec

[haughty tulip]

bro that's what i'm talking about

[celest sage]

Chi

[haughty tulip]

I just got a reapir

[grim reef]

The hex saved me

[haughty tulip]

from 2 fully loaded chads

the hex did not save that guy th

Who needs meta when you have the op-sks

[crisp nest]

mf

i checked aesa spawns so much

and got 1 so far

[haughty tulip]

Hey tbh I've played reserve the last few weeks

This is the first time I've gotten 2

And I took it from their corpses

Bro last guy was camping on the bathroom

soon as he peaked I headshot him so badly

I probably need an exorcist to remove this demon out of my hand

[crisp nest]

rbbk bathroom?

[haughty tulip]

No his dead bodies

Last time I got one was in king

Before that it was in d2

This time idk because they had it on them

[crisp nest]

no the bathroom guy

[haughty tulip]

ohhh

no no i was underground

[crisp nest]

oh

[haughty tulip]

he was in the offices waiting for ne

[crisp nest]

theres that spot where u camp next to rb bk

[haughty tulip]

me

in the bathroom

[crisp nest]

and wait for an unlock sound

[haughty tulip]

I did not hear him

I saw him tho

And he wasn't expecting me to headshot him so godly

I got reported btw

No way he didn't

Imagine you are a guy with m4 and sr-25 and you don't push a dude with a fucking sks

[crisp nest]

i do the good ol' csgo strats

give em a report for good luck

if you think they're sus

[haughty tulip]

ahahahahaha

I was definitely sus

I can't even believe myself right now

[haughty tulip]

nice extra loadout oof

I wonder how fast can I lose my reap-ir

I'm just staring at my 2 beautiful thermals

I can cry

Of happiness for the first time

[crisp nest]

be an insurance fraud gamer

[haughty tulip]

I fraud my trooper and backpack plus nvg

I said fuck my stuff this is the good shit

And I took off

It's amazing I haven't seen d2 campers at night in my server

[river heath]

ppl at night r geared af; no rat really wants to deal with that shit

[haughty tulip]

Yeah

[river heath]

some pple run thermals so its not worth it

[grim reef]

Vector + Rip rounds + Leg shots?

[haughty tulip]

That;s how I get my good gear an

[river heath]

yeah basically

[haughty tulip]

Yeah bro

I just got 2

I was on pmc

[river heath]

d2 is the pvp area thats y

lol
