Yeah if you drop stuff you get it back

crisp nest
#

u still do

vivid ember
#

yay

crisp nest
#

i know this for a fact

vivid ember
#

I heard that if you go MIA you don't.

crisp nest
#

ive done it because i picked night raid by accident

crisp nest
vivid ember
#

Ah I see, ty ty

crisp nest
#

if u drop it u get it back

carmine gust
#

if you have it on and go MIA you do not get it.

vivid ember
#

Yeah no I hid it in a nice bush.

carmine gust
#

Perfect

vivid ember
#

I've done that twice this weekend I felt terrible but also very happy

unreal horizon
#

once you learn how to make money and have a bit of a buffer, you just have to full send into fights to get experience

#

the way to chad out in this game is to not give a fuck

crisp nest
#

i hid my m4 in a bush but foorgot to insure the expensive ass silencer

unreal horizon
#

dont care about your gear or dying, just care about winning the fight

thorny phoenix
lean flame
#

so, in meantime before flea and chadness arrives, how does one acquire things for quests and hideout while being a GIGANTIC pussy?

thorny phoenix
#

if youre in a fight and you think "oh no, what if i lose? my gear was expensive, i spent like 20 minutes modding this gun" then youll lose

unreal horizon
lean flame
#

gotcha

thorny phoenix
#

but if you fight like "come here you small fucker ill remove you from this map" then youll win

unreal horizon
#

Fear is the biggest enemy in this game, if you play aggressively you will win like 5x more fights

crisp nest
#

^ because of shite servers

lean flame
crisp nest
#

we love desync

wary valley
#

i hate that whenever im scavin the locked room is closed

thorny phoenix
wary valley
#

but when im not scaving its always open or people are there

thorny phoenix
#

oh hi mattackai whats up

unreal horizon
#

also when you do have to fight, drop your backpack if possible to rotate faster

wary valley
#

hey

vivid ember
#

There's a hotkey for that, right?

carmine gust
#

double z

vivid ember
#

ty

thorny phoenix
#

bind "dismiss" key to smoething like U

#

so you can drop stuff quick when looting

thorny phoenix
#

to make room for more important stuff

wary valley
#

fuck this door

unreal horizon
lean flame
#

so fuck prapor then?

unreal horizon
#

yup

vapid oracle
#

also how do you get more compasses?

carmine gust
#

nades to prapor

lean flame
unreal horizon
#

you'll level prapor naturally through insurance

lean flame
#

time to make some money

unreal horizon
#

dont need to buy/sell

lean flame
#

and lose it

vivid ember
#

i sold all my shit to prapor at the start rip

lean flame
#

should I sell near everything in my stash?

unreal horizon
# lean flame time to make some money

here's my guide for new player money making. in the launcher select 1 server with one of the longer queue times (less players) and hit the caches around the edge of interchange, you shouldnt see anyone and after about 10 mins you'll be out with a full backpack https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/interchange

#

selecting a dead server is optional, but nice if you dont want to be disturbed

vivid ember
#

damn inter has so much loot

crisp nest
#

longer queue is more players?

#

im pretty sure

unreal horizon
#

no its counter intuitive

vivid ember
#

What's the difference between a ground/barrel cache?

unreal horizon
#

you'd think it's like a "longer line to get in" but not really

crisp nest
#

its opposite like every game

lean flame
#

and should I just vomit most/all my stash into the traders then?

unreal horizon
vivid ember
#

ah

#

I thought they had different loot.

unreal horizon
#

I dont think so

#

not 100% sure tbh

lean flame
#

who do I sell bullets to?

unreal horizon
#

mechanic

#

but keep them if they're good

#

this chart is good to know

#

!wiki ballistics

broken quailBOT
unreal horizon
#

you dont need to know every bullet, just the top 2/3 for each caliber

lean flame
#

should I dismantle weapons before selling or sell the whole thing?

arctic crown
#

by top he means high pen

lean flame
arctic crown
#

doesn't matter to traders on flea some parts might be worth more than the gun

unreal horizon
#

yeah generally flesh dmg isnt a deal breaker, excluding shotguns and some smgs

arctic crown
#

also there is the star round - dont sell that to traders

#

only flea or keep for easier quests

unreal horizon
wary valley
#

time to select dead servers and go to dorms unstop 47 times

unreal horizon
#

not really how that works but good luck

slender cave
#

https://tarkov-tools.com/ this is a great one stop place for everything you could want to know outside of tasks in tarkov from maps to ammo to prices and more .. def worth checking out

wary valley
unreal horizon
#

the server will have the min amount, but it'll be less budy

lean flame
#

how do I select a server with low pop?

unreal horizon
#

in the launcher you can manually select, typically longer queue is less busy

arctic crown
#

but that doesn't mean you will be alone on the map

unreal horizon
#

^ it will have the min amount so if a map is 6-10 it'll have 6

#

but still its nice

lean flame
#

I know, just want less people while I'm running around customs and interchange

#

Well, I'm now comfortably back over what money I started with

#

this feels nice

unreal horizon
#

nice

#

if you focus on surviving that number should always be going up

#

remember the best way to make money is to not lose your kit

about Shturm

bold kernel

literally, i went in just now, got an AESA, Lapua with the expensive rounds and a SVDS

grizzled isle

if you manage to kill him before anyone sees you, do the bodyguards immediately come at you or?

bold kernel
#

@grizzled isle think hes more likely to see you then them so unlikely

grizzled isle

but just

#

if

cosmic tinsel
#

i almost always have to deal with all 3 of them

grizzled isle
#

if you kill him before he sees

cosmic tinsel
#

killing him seems to agitate the guards

grizzled isle
#

thats what i was looking for

#

thanks

cosmic tinsel
#

even when im snipin em the guards run around for a bit when i kill them

bold kernel
#

but they dont know where you are?

cosmic tinsel
#

if im too far away they dont find me

i'm not familiar with the specifics of the AI

im talking killing him from sniper rock/mountain

i can one shot him, guards run around all spooky, never shoot at me

possible to kill Shturman from sniper rock?

cosmic tinsel

grizzled isle

?

unreal horizon
#

sniper rock isnt a very good position though

cosmic tinsel
#

like 2 of my 30 shturman kills are from that location

grizzled isle
#

where should we go to snipe to stay as far away as possible from Shturman but still have a good visual

unreal horizon
#

can try dickhead, he might agro though

compact token
#

my scav spawns have been on point lately

unreal horizon
#

and if he's on the lake side of the office, you cant see him

grizzled isle
#

yeah but i mean for the bodyguards

cosmic tinsel
grizzled isle
#

my friend is a good sniper, he can take out Shturman easily but thebodyguards

unreal horizon
#

like you just have to kill them idk what to tell you

#

it's 4 headshots then you're done ๐Ÿคท

grizzled isle
#

yes but like

cosmic tinsel
#

i know you want to be far away, but sniping at huge range is a little tricky because of the places they can go

#

and intermediate range they will fuck your tree

#

so within 20 meters is easily the most effective way to kill him in my experience

#

if you're interested in the far thing because its fun, please do so

#

i'm not trying to tell you how to enjoy the game ๐Ÿ˜„

vapid oracle
#

I went to new gas on cache

#

and got like exploded

#

what the hell

#

I've never seen that before

unreal horizon
#

most of my shtur kills have been with a vector pushing him

grizzled isle
#

if i get too close, he might see us, too far and we cant snipe, we get between, we kill him but the bodyguards bully us, what is the perfect place so the bodyguards have to get closer and not immediately shoot till we die

high effective durability, great repair cost and low repair penalty, 23 slots, 2x2, 3x1, it's got it all

cosmic tinsel
#

yep

compact token
#

doesn't block cliff desc

cosmic tinsel
#

it slaps. definitely not trying to hate on the aacpc

compact token
#

yeah they're both great

cosmic tinsel
#

it is a cool and fun armored rig

compact token
#

labs being the sweatfest it is probably invalidates armor pretty hard

#

but anyone running an SMG of 855a1 will be slowed down by it

#

except for AP SX

cosmic tinsel
#

yeah, it'll save your life sometimes

#

i usually run korund + rig bc its cheaper than aacpc

compact token
#

on the other hand it's easier to justify the extra 80k (90? whatever) in labs bc its a smaller portion of your investment with the keycard in the equation

cosmic tinsel
#

but if you're looking for cliff extract, or not worried about cash, its nbd

korund does make you 12% slower though

best t5 armor?

crisp nest

killa

korund is very affordable, CPC is effectively ragman 4 exclusive but provides one of the best rigs and one of the best c5 armors at the same time

crisp nest

dont buy killa though

how scary is reshala as a boss?

killa is pretty pricey but armors stomach (which may actually be a downside? idk ask pestily) and has lower penalties than korund

you dont want other pmcs showing up, people showing up behind you

because it is durable and you face shit ammo

I should really do the whole scav boss kill chain

crisp nest

and yeah thorax is good in the cases of using killa

it gives you the cards for fishing place too

ap 20 or flechette in dorms?

compact token

flech

cosmic tinsel
#

+1 for flech. mag buck is reasonable if you're goin legs too

dorms you're too likely to find someone in 5-6 that will invalidate your ap-20

dusk wraith
#

no worries, no rush

thorny phoenix
#

is it doable with vector and ap ammo?

compact token
#

flech can 4 shot to the torso and there's also an argument to be made for swagnum fuckshot leg meta or hitting one pellet on the head. dorms is probably one of the mos face-shield heavy areas in the game though

dorms or reshala?

reshala

reshala for sure, dorms... headshots only without 7n31

that might even be a little overkill for reshala

where do i get folder with intelligence for hideout

crackhouse yeah?

there are a ton of spawns across most maps

crackhouse is a huge spawn

reserve has a ton of spawns

you can also buy them

cosmic tinsel

but if its just for your hideout, you can buy off flea

or craft them

you can always find one and sell it later

the farm is better the earlier you get it

for many reasons

the reason i wasnt buying was bc i need 3 of them for the next level along with being acc level 20 for mechanic lvl 2

you probably will not get kappa (completing the quests) this wipe as a first time player. I'd spend this time getting used to the game, learning the early quests, figuring out your cheap early game gear, and learning the maps

ideally you can get some quests done on customs, if you'd like you can hit caches on interchange for money, all the chads rush inside so you're safe around the edges of the map

I'm 55% but it's completely playstyle dependent, I have friends who have 30% SRs who are also great at the game

headshots should be one shot kills on all scavs

SR doesnt really matter, its about what you can do with the raids you survive

I wouldn't worry if you're in the double digits for lvl1-10
