Watch pestilys tutorials and raid videos for new players they're super helpful

#

YOU ARE ACTUALLY JOKING WITH ME!?!?!?!'

tough gull
#

that still leaves a lot with 440 total

mellow matrix
#

and even more if it was a raider

craggy sapphire
#

It was a cheeky baster hiding in a corner

bold kernel
#

ive been doing checking for 3 days now

#

can someone help

vague forge
#

if i am looking for a 4 man to go into Factory for a quest should i go to beginners assistance or down to factory lfg?

hey guys, quick question. I was wondering if there was some type of armor bug? I got one shot in the stomach in my last pmc raid and my AVS(protects stomach) came back on insurance showing it had taken no damage. jw wtf thats about

pure mist
cosmic tinsel
#

could be a fragment

pure mist
#

he said it was a buck shot from a player scav

bold kernel
#

im just confused how the armor took no damage. I see posts from years ago describing an armor bug where armor didnt render or respond when loading into a raid. Its my first wipe so jw if this is actually an issue still

cosmic tinsel
#

when was this raid

#

im feeling like maybe you wore 2 avs rigs?

#

at the end of the day, you're right

#

if you get shot in the stomach, the armor should have taken damage

#

if there isnt a mistake around the circumstances, then its a bug, likely in your favor

#

and I haven't had that experience

bold kernel
#

yesterday, it was on reserve by sewer manhole, we killed eachother he shot once and i emptied 762 bp on him, i died like 3 seconds after he shot me

#

no chance to heal, just slumped

cosmic tinsel
#

oh weird

#

very weird

delicate dagger
#

is bp or bt any good

#

545 39

bold kernel
#

yeah, i guess just keep an eye out for this bug guys.

#

any eu wanna do runs I'm only level 5 tho

#

@cosmic tinsel what happens when you wear 2 avs rigs? edit: i wasnt wearing 2 just curious

cosmic tinsel
#

so you cant wear two simultaneously

#

but the thing that makes the most sense to me is that you did two raids with AVS rigs

bold kernel
#

oh so literally that

cosmic tinsel
#

died twice

#

got headshot with one while it was clean

#

and conflated it with the one you got stomached with

bold kernel
#

the points were at 39.4 if that helps?

cosmic tinsel
#

yeah, thats good data

#

supports your point for sure. i'd blame some combination of bug and desync first

#

certainly the other possibility is out there but its so rare as to not overly concern yourself with it

#

your understanding of game mechanics is correct

#

honestly this is a great illustration of "getting tarkoved", ha

bold kernel
#

true it probably doesnt happen to many

#

ive had so many already lmao

cosmic tinsel
#

i get tarkoved constantly, just not in the way you're describing ha

#

i ragequit for a week after clipping me shooting a gun 3 times directly at a player and being told i had 0 shots fire in the postgame summary

#

games buggy, but worth the bugs mostly

bold kernel
#

i have more armors comeback damaged to be fair

strong barn
#

I push a guy and Im jumping over a wall on customs fighting him on his side but i die relatively quickly.

friends goes to find my body,Im back on the ORIGINAL side of the fence dead while the enemy is on his side LOL @evo#6969

This is me gettign tarkoved. I have no idea how to explain that haha

bold kernel
#

ive had headshots not work, desync where i die behind cover, disconnect with good connection. lmao i love this game

flat snow
#

quick question guys, watching pestily's ultimate settings guides he said if im using an AMD processor to have "use physical cores" box unticked can anyone shed some light on this

rose rock
#

Mine's a classic: shoot scav in head, he stands there for a sec, after that sec it goes "oh yeah i got a bullet" and THEN dies

#

Even tho i made sure the server im in is THE closest

cosmic tinsel
flat snow
#

alright, he does seem like a reliable guy

cosmic tinsel
#

hes been around forever

#

very solid

flat snow
#

guy sounds like a chad ngl

cosmic tinsel
#

veritas and vox_e are the primary data youtubers

bold kernel
#

@flat snow hes great

cosmic tinsel
#

but i trust anything pest says

flat snow
#

got recommended him and now im just addicted

#

wish i got into the game earlier than i did

#

anyways, thanks boys

bold kernel
#

whats the shotgun called that everyone puts a supressor on and its a sniper

wispy needle
#

Mp-153 i think

cosmic tinsel
#

no sniper shotgun

#

saiga, mp153, and mp133 can be suppressed

#

you can put sniper optics on the saiga

bold kernel
#

@flat snow I feel that, tarkov is one giant textbook

wispy needle
#

Ppl put suppressor for quest

bold kernel
#

whats the supressor called

cosmic tinsel
#

theres the silencerco and the hexagon 12-k

uneven crest
#

salvo?

cosmic tinsel
#

yeahhh thats the one

bold kernel
#

can you put a foregrip on it?

tired matrix
#

can anyone teach me the ropes

uneven crest
#

I used salvo and mp153 and AP20 for setup and silent caliber. Very effective at medium ranges.

bold kernel
#

sonorous can you foregrip it?

cosmic tinsel
#

you can foregrip any shotgun

uneven crest
#

On the 153? No. But you can put a buffer tube and a gl shock stock for increased ergo.

bold kernel
#

you can or can't?

cosmic tinsel
#

does the 153 not take the custom polymer handguard?

#

i know the 133 does

bold kernel
#

its for pump action i think

uneven crest
#

I don't know honestly. I don't know why you would need a forward grip on a shotty.

cosmic tinsel
#

that do make a sense

#

agreed lol

#

not sure i've ever tried with the 153

uneven crest
#

But I don't think the 153 can have a foregrip.

cosmic tinsel
#

lemme go check

#

yeah, you're spot on

bold kernel
#

fuck

cosmic tinsel
#

my b

#

jexuu what are you looking for

bold kernel
#

i bought everything, go to buy the mount for the scope

#

fucker is 300k

#

time to unlock jaeger rq

cosmic tinsel
#

sprm mount unlock is important

uneven crest
bold kernel
#

idk, ima just run around with a shotgun lmao

wispy needle
#

I hate trying to find jaeger

bold kernel
#

i find him

#

its extracting

cold yarrow
#

Any new players looking for a partner to run quests and level with. Preferably someone with my age mindset 30+

bold kernel
#

i hate extracting on woods, woods is cancer

#

its just littered with people hiding.

cosmic tinsel
#

if you want a meme shotgun

bold kernel
#

yes

#

that looks great

wispy needle
#

I found his note but cant extract

uneven crest
#

Woods is easy. Just walk and avoid the saw mill. Pass from one side of the map to the other behind sniper rock.

cosmic tinsel
wispy needle
#

?

cosmic tinsel
#

what do you mean by cant extract, i guess

bold kernel
#

i go on woods, everyone says "just avoid the looting areas"

#

woods can suck but it can be profitable, unless someone catches standing still or has a thermal you should be good to escape most engagements

cosmic tinsel
bold kernel
#

i was just walking across a single path in the middle of no where, a dude sat in a bush un prones, shotguns me to the fac.

cosmic tinsel
#

yeah

wispy needle
#

I die before i can get to one

cosmic tinsel
#

theres always randomness in this game

cosmic tinsel
wispy needle
#

I hide in bushes with a toz, very fun 👍

cosmic tinsel
#

it'll happen eventually

wispy needle
#

For like the first 5 raids on woods i was using the old map

flat snow
bold kernel
#

thats the oddest way someones explained a game to me

#

but it makes sense lmao

tarkov shooterpt 1 need help with keep on getting merked right off the bat

cosmic tinsel
spring ingot
#

@cosmic tinsel have been but they keep getting me

cosmic tinsel
#

not too much beyond that other than... trying to not get got

#

change maps, maybe?

spring ingot

@cosmic tinsel you down to help me

cosmic tinsel
#

bout to go furniture shoppin w the wife

#

sry fam

spring ingot
#

@cosmic tinsel have been keep gettin merked and ight bro

cosmic tinsel
#

no i get it

#

but that means you gotta work on your positioning

#

and map rotations

#

if you keep dyin, keep tryin new things

#

try faster, try slower, try different areas

spring ingot
#

bro i swear i try ive gone through 10 at least loadouts trying

cosmic tinsel
#

thats good

#

dedication is important

#

and it stinks when you have a skid, i've been there

spring ingot
#

yea but im losing more money than the payout

cosmic tinsel
#

if it helps, that how questing works for me

#

i pretty much make money to afford questing

spring ingot
#

i do too but then it just is repeativite

uneven crest
#

What map are you trying to run, Pipe?

spring ingot
#

ive done woods shoreline and reserve

uneven crest
#

I'd use the VPO bolt action with FMJ and go to shoreline.

#

Lol, Don't do reserve

cosmic tinsel
#

i did it with an alpha container full of AP

#

for them one taps

#

but fmj do be cheaper

uneven crest
#

Yeah but you don't need AP for HS kills on scavs

spring ingot
#

ive been using 7n1 and a mosin

cosmic tinsel
#

yeah, they dont need to be HS kills tho

#

for pt 1

#

just 40m irons

uneven crest
#

Right, just easier and cheaper using FMJ going for heads

cosmic tinsel
#

cheaper yes easier no

#

but i completely agree your way works

spring ingot
#

i honestly dont know what 40m looks like in game if we were at a range i could tell ya right off the bat without any help

slow sleet
cosmic tinsel
#

you'll get a feel

#

its really not too far

spring ingot
#

lol idk what that would be lol'

cosmic tinsel
#

just give yourself some space

spring ingot
#

at the range its easy game mode not to easy

slow sleet
#

Its rough at first but you qill make profit,

#

Lemme see if my other new guy is onlin rq

#

Pipe u na?

wary valley
spring ingot
#

yea

wary valley
#

then i lived

#

then died again

#

now its looking better

cause i don't die shitton of times in a roll

#

if its rough rn keep going

slow sleet

What level are you pipe

slow sleet
#

Damn, prob be to hard to remold you

wary valley
#

just got done cutting these goddamn bambo trees

wispy needle
#

If i was in exfill for 4seconds but the raid ends in 2 would i go MIA

wary valley
#

really?

wary valley
#

in the twitch rivals video with aqua fps

cosmic tinsel
#

it feels TERRIBLE

wary valley
#

one of the dudes exfilled like 9 with 7 seconds left

cosmic tinsel
#

he got lucky

#

ive definitely seen the timer go to 0 on exfil and then got MIA

wary valley
#

ive had it extract me before timer ran out

cosmic tinsel
#

weiiiiird

wary valley
#

it was like 1 second left on scav run

wispy needle
#

Its a glitch thats prety common

cosmic tinsel
#

luckier man than I

wary valley
#

a lv 48 died prone in a bush with no helmet and this armor and weapon

#

in interchange

#

like would he be a rat?

cosmic tinsel
#

but camper is a subset of rat, yeah

wary valley
#

i mean i was with a trio right

#

and one of my guys got jumped and killed

#

and this guy was shooting another dude

#

while i was walking right next to him

#

i mean im not the guy to judge since i died to a knife in the head on live twitch

lime fulcrum
#

what you show there is called the "rat rig" so yea it was a rat

bold kernel
#

pov: you are good at the game but the game says no

#

one guy btw

#

did that homie switch armors or some shit

#

how does one man do 1464 damage across a helmet or a chest.

no idea

#

Is a bitcoin farm worth running with a small ammount of GCs?

uneven crest
#

As long as your Bitcoin farm is producing more money than it is consuming fuel, it's worth it. With the change in time to produce a coin, I don't know how many GPUs you need to overcome fuel costs. I think it's still just one unless Bitcoin prices fall even more.

#

It's free money even if Bitcoin isn't selling for 900k anymore.

still mortar
#

not really free money for someone new like me the prices just to start building the farm are preety high

heavy laurel
#

yeah the whole 2 mil a day just from the coinfarm thingy was pretty ridicilous

uneven crest
#

I can't think of any reason not to build one if you have GPUs laying around.

heavy laurel
#

it also just runs passively whilst ur crafting other stuff in ur hideout

lethal flame
#

why can't i hold more then 3 graphics cards

uneven crest
#

They aren't that expensive to build. Just go run a few raids and farm stashes and you should have plenty of money for the parts.

#

cosmic tinsel

The workaround in raid is to throw your backpack or rig on the ground, shove all graphics cards into container, and pick up again

wary valley
#

dude

#

the blue magazine for mp133 sucks balls like sheesh

compact token
#

like who is rmting with pilgrim stacks

cosmic tinsel
#

I think that's just to discourage the unlimited loot theoretical

#

Bags like blackjack and beta that are bigger on the inside than the outside

#

Pilgrim isn't the problem but it could be part of a preposterous raider backpack stack

compact token
#

aren't all >1.0 SE bps compartmentalized?

cosmic tinsel
#

I don't know what SE BPS is but beta and pilgrim store more than the space they take

#

Not pilgrim, blackjack

#

Raid might too

#

Beta is 5x5 and stores 5x6

compact token
#

seems like the weight system would keep that in check

still mortar
#

Weight system is bad

cosmic tinsel
#

Nah, people have been throwing backpacks in corners for ages

compact token
#

not even a little related but how do I find scavs on customs

still mortar
#

the only real side effect is that u waddle and make more noise

compact token
#

do they just take a few minutes to spawn

still mortar
#

and people just throw backpacks when they hear shit

i think the weight system is the best its ever been at the momemt

Hello everyone! Need some help and hope someone knows how to fix this issue. Keep getting stuck and google and tried about 15 different fixes none of which worked. Any help would be awesome I want to play!!

#

how fast will 6.3 vector pen an altyn

unreal horizon
#

Not fast enough tbh

ivory ether
#

oh ok

unreal horizon
#

It won't have any good chance to pen until the visor is under 15/50

jolly token
#

Should a beginner mainly focus on doing scav raids at first?

uneven crest
#

You should focus on learning the maps. The spawns and the exits.

jolly token
#

Ok

uneven crest
#

Mainly shoreline, woods, customs, interchange and factory. That's where most of the quests are.

jolly token
#

Ok thank you

ionic lava
uneven crest
#

You can use your scav to learn them, duck, but the scav exits and spawns are not the same as the PMC ones.

fleet timber
# ionic lava what is the issue

Need some help and hope someone knows how to fix this issue. Keep getting stuck and google and tried about 15 different fixes none of which worked. Any help would be awesome I want to play!!

uneven crest
#

But map knowledge is a huge part of this game.

jolly token
#

Ok, i keep dying in PMC and thought that since scav was basically risk free at first, might as well do that til i have good weapons and kit.

uneven crest
fleet timber
#

not doing anything but staying stuck on that screen

ionic lava

it is exactly what it is doing

vapid oracle

Heya I was wondering which are the best places to go for customs? cause I always find tons of action wherever I go with people much more geared then I am

fleet timber
vivid ember
#

It won't load into the game?

fleet timber
#

stuck and will not bring up any options

unreal horizon
#

Well fuck did you try restarting?

fleet timber
#

no menu

#

i did about 15 "fixes" online and none worked

#

even reinstalled

uneven crest
#

Verify game files? Reinstall?

unreal horizon
#

This happened to me last night, just task manager the game and relaunch

fleet timber
#

yep

unreal horizon
#

Takes 15 seconds

fleet timber
vivid ember
#

turn it off and on again

ionic lava
#

have you checked the integrity of your files from the launcher?

unreal horizon
digital sentinel
#

i need to find 3 salewa kits and i have one but i can't turn it in it's used 225/400

fleet timber
digital sentinel
#

is that the problem

unreal horizon
#

Just open task manager and close the game

ionic lava
#

how much ram do you have? i had this problem when i only had 8gb

uneven crest
fleet timber
#

32gb

#

still not working

#

and the funny thing I tried to create a ticket and it timed out on me every time

#

so no reporting it apparently

bold kernel
#

@fleet timber Did you check your games file integrity?

fleet timber
#

YES

bold kernel
#

hmm

ionic lava
#

its sounds like an issue on your end not thiers so a ticket wouldnt help

bold kernel
#

usually when that happens to me i just restart my PC and check integrity

#

and it fixes

restarting your pc does wonders

Holy fuck dude this is beginners assist8nit tech support, we are doing our best to help you

no one here is obligated to help you we're doing what we can

Question, how do I change zeroing distance with an optic? It says the key is Pg Up but it doesn't do anything when pressed. Is it a combination of keys?

unreal horizon
#

you need to be pressing pg up/down while your scoped in

ionic lava
#

page up and page down

vivid ember
#

Yeah, I do that. Is it only certain optics?

unreal horizon
#

what optic are you using? the vast majority can zero

vivid ember
#

Many of the sniper optics, can't tell you the names because I don't have them anymore.

unreal horizon
#

ah fair enough

vivid ember
#

I'll rebind it somewhere and see if it works, I guess.

unreal horizon
#

maybe take a look through keybinds, maybe it got changed w/o you knowing?

vivid ember
#

Will do.

ionic lava
#

thats possible

unreal horizon
#

sometimes binds just change, not sure why

#

a few weeks back after a patch all of mine got scrambled, maybe that happened on a smaller scale

#

final suggestion, confirm these are on "press" aand not something else

vivid ember
#

mhm

hot tree
#

what is scope elevation

vivid ember
#

Does it work on the PSO 1M2?

unreal horizon
#

yes

vivid ember
#

ok

#

The number at the bottom right is zeroing, right?

unreal horizon
unreal horizon
hot tree
#

whats the bind name when you want to look from a different scope or something

#

like you have 3 scope attached

vivid ember
#

Doesn't seem to be working. I'll try rebinding it to my numpad and see if that helps.

unreal horizon
#

ctrl + right click by default iirc

#

could be wrong i've had mine rebound for a very long time

vivid ember
#

Alright rebinding it to numpad seems to work, not sure why it doesn't work with my arrow keys.

unreal horizon
#

thats really weird

#

ig as long as it works now thats alright 🤷

vivid ember
#

Yeah, ty.

pure frost
#

So I just got my air filter so I’m gonna level my strength , should I go in raid over weight or just under then pick up and item to get overweight

unreal horizon
#

I'd start overweight

#

maybe just a backpack of shotgun shells, then swap them out once you find loot?

pure frost
#

Do you not get a fat decrease in % when you go in overweight

unreal horizon
#

the only way to lvl strength is to be overweight

#

well ok not only you can throw grenades and stuff

pure frost
#

Yeah ik but I mean when I tried before I got my air filter if I’d go in over weight I’d have like -4% but if I went in normal weight I had +128%

vivid ember
#

Toolboxes give tplugs, cord, circuit boards, etc, or are at least the best way to get them FIR, right?

pure frost
#

So would going just under then picking something not be better ?

unreal horizon
#

ig so

compact token
#

i got 2 red powder in caches while doing big sale do I exfil or just send it

vivid ember
#

ok. I heard interchange is best for toolboxes and what not. This true or is it just a preference of people?

unreal horizon
#

it probably is

crisp nest
#

if you have other good stuff just exfil

vivid ember
#

Yeah, it has lot's of hardware store's. K i'll check it out ty

unreal horizon
#

at least, the most in the smallest proximity so you can loot a bunch

compact token
#

I only brought a pistol but it's really not that much loot

#

also I put a GP coin in my SICC so this raid is already a profit

crisp nest
#

eh like 200k

they dont need to be FIR btw

yeah ik

unreal horizon
#

you can buy them for it

compact token
#

idk why

#

does saferoom still light up green on the list if power is on?

unreal horizon
#

shouldnt

vapid oracle
#

is there any way I can mimize losing cash? cause I'm having difficulty making anyy

unreal horizon
#

that usually means powers hit unless you walked past and checked

unreal horizon
vapid oracle
#

should I just focus on getting the scav out?

#

or getting kills on pmc

#

or fellow scavs

compact token
#

fellow scavs and loot

#

pmcs will usually run your shit

unreal horizon
#

scavs are a free loot run with 0 risk

#

take that as you will

#

if you have a backpack/rig, you can go hit caches and stuff

hot tree
#

my heart beats faster when i get something nice as a scav i cant save ;d

unreal horizon
#

its stressful

i agree

hideout upgrades time then

unreal horizon
naive depot
#

especially when you aren't used to the map(s) you are playing scav runs are an awesome way to learn maps and get some playtime in without risking burning through your whole stash and you can make some decent money with with them!

hot tree
#

@compact token i dont have enough levels to upgrade it sadly

vapid oracle
#

I'll try playing just scav runs then and taking breaks in between them I guess?

compact token
#

questing time, then. I know it sucks

hot tree
#

yea i want to do that one quest to give grapics card but i sold them for money :c

vapid oracle
#

later on is there any way to get a constant flow of income?

unreal horizon
#

honestly, surviving

compact token
# unreal horizon

Yeah, I thought its loot was unlikely to pay back the key so it was more of an "i'm already hitting red" sort of thing

unreal horizon
#

the better you get at surviving raids, your money will always go up

#

ah yeah its def not worth buying but I figure if I found it for free, why not

compact token
vapid oracle
#

on customs which is the places to avoid?

unreal horizon
#

dorms, fortress, crackhouse

dorms and new gas

any good spots for newer peeps I should go for?

shoreline cache runs are great and very safe

just circle any areas for me cause I'm dum

generally be careful around here

oki thanks

I've been using that other map

#

@unreal horizon so where SHOULD i go?

crisp nest

🤷‍♂️

did OPK-7 get changed from a green -_- sight to this new circle one?

crisp nest

dovetail and non-dovetail

ohh well this red circle one is far nicer

okp btw PrapKEK

i dont like my sight swaying

it annoys me

can you do that?

ALT

its a toggle not a hold

unreal horizon

oh my

bold kernel
#

oh my god

#

all this time

#

fml

crisp nest
#

it drains stamina faster does it not

compact token
#

the duration and recovery are pretty arcane stats that I can't seem to find an indicator for so just use it sparingly

crisp nest
#

i hate using it in labs because of the drain

compact token
lime mason
#

can anyone play with me and show me the ropes ive got a basic grip but im still very confused

crisp nest
#

my hk is pretty draining on arm stamina already

unreal horizon
bold kernel
#

dont people spend hours throwing grenades for dat shit

compact token
crisp nest
bold kernel
#

ohh

crisp nest
#

and no u sprint 1 bar and grenade urself

#

then keep queuing again

compact token
#

the skills system is clearly not designed for wipes

unreal horizon
#

eh I dissagree

compact token
compact token
#

and maybe health

unreal horizon
#

thats the point, you need to grind them. A person who plays the game more often will naturally have an advantage against someone who doesnt

#

imo of course

compact token
#

sure but the elite perk system really backloads the benefits

crisp nest
#

healrth u can just sit in barb wire

compact token
#

so someone with 25 in a skill isn't nearly half as strong as someone with 50

#

hell 49 even

unreal horizon
#

I dont have a problem with that tbh

compact token
#

idk it just feels like a lot of skills level at a speed that assumes training it is all you are doing all the time

#

even when training it in normal play is rare like surgery

#

or mag drills

#

or cov mov, which I will not stop banging on about

unreal horizon
#

again, I think you should be rewarded for grinding the shit out of your skills

compact token
#

yeah but the diminishing returns system encourages suicide

#

the most efficient skill training strat spends most of its time in queue

bold kernel
#

question, when wipe happens what should i do first

compact token
#

panic

bold kernel
#

like what do i focus on

compact token
#

just kidding

unreal horizon
#

quest

compact token
#

do quests

bold kernel
#

hideout

#

and then skills?

compact token
#

prapor's line mostly

unreal horizon
#

level 4 traders asap

bold kernel
#

what does prapor do for me?

compact token
#

his early quests are just the easiest

#

kind of a natural starting point

bold kernel
#

i need to learn interchange this wipe for next wipe so i can do quests easier tbh

compact token
#

I'm learning it right now

bold kernel
#

never played it

#

really should

compact token
#

its so cool

hot tree
#

i was playing it only once

bold kernel
#

i might just start using my scav on there to learn it to start

got pestilys streamer item from a scav there

oh hey I got therapist 4

now I can buy a grizzly for only 50k PrapKEK

unreal horizon

20k

crisp nest
#

i havent gotten much exp because labs been bad this week

compact token
#

It's tempting

unreal horizon
#

barter boi

crisp nest
#

25k barter

compact token
#

ik

#

hence the PrapKEK

compact token
hot tree
#

also should i heal myself in the healing screen or heal with a grizzly

compact token
#

grizzly

fresh canyon
#

i just opened a flee market by healing with medical stuff instead of paying to be healed.

compact token

especially once you get the barter

#

it gives you free xp

I just had my first successful scav run :0

docs v sicc for labs?

vapid oracle

any of this worth keeping or should I sell it all?

crisp nest

doc

vapid oracle

it's what I got from the scav run

compact token
crisp nest
#

sicc if u are insane pvper

#

yes for intel

#

and rare spawn

compact token
#

docs + tags case KEKW

unreal horizon
vapid oracle
#

why so?

hot tree
#

i like the adar shoots very nice

unreal horizon
#

because you cant buy good ammo in 556

compact token
#

good adar ammo is expensive

#

and unavailable to low lvls

vapid oracle
#

should I keep anything from the guns like scopes?

compact token
#

if you will use them

unreal horizon
#

keep the weaver if u want

compact zenith
#

Do the different marks on the pso scope mean a difference in drop at the distance of 100, 200, 300... etc meters?

compact token
#

thats the idea but dif ammos have dif velocities

#

so its worthless unless you memorize the reference points for your ammo

unreal horizon
unreal horizon
#

1 sec

vapid oracle
#

is this for a quest of some kind?

hot tree
unreal horizon
#

if someone is that big, they are 200 metres away

compact zenith
#

Oh, I always wondered what those lines meant

#

I thought they had something to do with wind and bullets going sideways irl

unreal horizon
#

based on the fact that a human is around 1.7 metres tall, thats accurate

hot tree
#

ohh thats very interesing to know

unreal horizon
#

its not perfect, but its close enough to be accurate 90% of the time

compact zenith
#

So the line with 2 above it means 200 meters away

#

Huh

#

Okay

unreal horizon
#

basically put the red bottom line on their feet, then align

compact zenith
#

That makes sense

unreal horizon
#

if they're bigger than 2 theres no point zeroing anyway

tired matrix
#

looking for someone to teach me tarkov NA

compact zenith
#

Yeah, the middle ground between the 2 and the usual zeroing is where I usually fail at hitting stuff

#

I always either go too low or too high with my estimation

#

I have my MIT in Battlefield bullet physics, though

unreal horizon
#

if i'm unsure, I zero for 100 and aim top of head, works more often than not

vapid oracle
#

also where do I get the plug for the generator?

compact token
#

its a real shame holding your breath doesn't show you exactly where the bullet is going like the sniper series to remove all challenge from sniping

unreal horizon
compact zenith
#

Yeah, I'm used to tracer like bullets in games too

compact token
#

OLI shelves too

vapid oracle
#

and the construction tape as well I assume?

unreal horizon
#

yes

compact token
#

yeah OLI has all the building stuff

#

so do filing cabinets

#

toolboxes have a more refined pool

unreal horizon
vapid oracle
#

woah that's super useful man!

#

thanks!

unreal horizon

especially good for learning spawns

compact token

mapgenie is so good i bought premium even though it doesn't do much

unreal horizon
#

^ I wanted the reserve map and they do a great job, i dont mind supporting it

compact token
#

I was expecting an exorbitant price too

#

10 dollars for life for reserve and the quest tools is not even top 10 worst financial decisions I have made

upper siren
#

hmmmm guys, wondering if i should get eft? what do you lot think (i need persuasion)

pure mist
#

learning is fun too in my opinion

upper siren
#

thats what kinda put me off ngl

heavy laurel
#

if the learning curve puts you off thats probably not going to change if you buy it

pure mist
#

the game starts to get fun for me around 200hrs mark

#

the time i kinda know what i'm doing

unreal horizon
#

its shit and the learning curve is shit and you'll die in a lot of bullshit ways

#

but youll love it

upper siren

ye im not bothered reallt about learning it its just how long does it take for the game to open up, i heard lvl ten is where it really kicks off with the flea(?) market

i got used to that one spawn kill on custom

like the game is really fucking hard but thats the point

upper siren

ye, i play arma 3 a bit so am used(ish) to mil sim

heavy laurel

tarkov isnt really that much of a mil sim tough(not at the momemt at least), people call it call of tarkov for a reason

when i bought this game i thought it cant be that hard i was wrong

bold kernel

should i just leave?

unreal horizon

yes

upper siren

oh dear...

unreal horizon

if you're matching for more than 5 mins alt f4, its bugged

noooo

it likely wont let you back out rn either, gotta literally close the game

its very much pvp

bots will wipe the floor with you if you're not extremely careful

lol i thought bots were shit

unreal horizon

they are once you learn how to deal with them

#

you'll get slaughtered by them at the start tho

bold kernel
#

it depends raiders are good scavs are just lucky sometimes and head shot you from 690 m

upper siren
#

ill get it and if i hate it ill refund

unreal horizon
#

note that there's no tutorial or any help, you have to ask questions and learn on your own

cosmic tinsel

pls note there is no refund option

crisp nest

unless u maybe used paypal

upper siren

oh ye its not on steam is it ugh

cosmic tinsel

yeah

theres chargebacks but like, fuckin dont ha

honestly if you're on the fence

#

watch more streams

and then consider waiting for either a sale or a wipe

cosmic tinsel
unreal horizon
cosmic tinsel
#

i recommended it mike, so he can have an idea of if he wants the game

crisp nest
#

aquafps is like the average tarkov player

cosmic tinsel
#

yeah, i was gonna say aquafps or pestily's raid series

#

are both much better representations of the the game. pestilys raid series shows the core game loop, aqua shows the experience of getting shrekt by chads

unreal horizon
#

also note that streamers have great knowledge of the game and maps, and if you try to mimic what they do you'll probably get smoked

upper siren
#

ill check 'em out cheers

cosmic tinsel
#

yeah!

#

i love tarkov. its my favorite game of all time

#

but i have 5 friends that bought the game and all but one of em bounced off

#

so i don't want to tell you HELL YEAH JUST DO IT

upper siren

i've kinda alredy decided imma get it but i will do more research anyway

unreal horizon

anyone still playing this game is hopelessly addicted/in love, so our opinions are a little swayed lol

I might nuke stash, but i wont reset acc

once you got unlimited loadouts the game kinda looses its appeal to me

is m61 good for killing raiders

or is there a better ammo

considering cost btw

I mean m61 is going to punch through the helmets

but there are better choices for torsos

unreal horizon

best for cost is anything that does over 40 dmg and has over 30 pen

if your sole purpose is to farm raiders, m80 is perfect for the job

hearty mountain

is the best way to kill interchange scavs is to find killa

crisp nest

no

unreal horizon

negative sir

hearty mountain

what do i do then

just find lil solo scavs?
