[agile oracle]

lol we talkin tarkov, its good

[deep gyro]

oh def Lmao

[agile oracle]

So is armor class 5 and 6 fiction or is it based on the russian GOST system?

[reef spoke]

I've tested 9x39 against hog skulls, works very nicely.

5 and 6 are GOST

[deep gyro]

^

[reef spoke]

Diffrent method to rate the same stuff

[agile oracle]

and which GOST rating is equivalent to NIJ IV?

[reef spoke]

5 and 6 make IV

[agile oracle]

ah I see

[reef spoke]

IV and IV special threat

[agile oracle]

Is III+ an actual rating or just what AR500 calls their strong shit that isnt quite IV?

[reef spoke]

the reason GOST has more selection is because their mfg processes have smaller margins of success. ( not saying they can't make good shit, but they are more specfic to cover their ass)

[crisp nest]

in tarkov they use their own system

[reef spoke]

III+ is typically a marketing thing, III Special threat is a real thing

[crisp nest]

it is a mix of gost what ever the new version is and the american ratings

to try to put them on the same scale

[reef spoke]

III+ is " We are confident its better than 3, but we ain't gonna call it 4 "

[agile oracle]

One reason I picked up the III+ is the coating they put on it
resealable rubber crap that catches the splatter of a blocked round

[reef spoke]

Spall coating is not a great thing.

its literally bed liner

[agile oracle]

it would suck if your vest worked but then the splatter blinded you

[reef spoke]

imo don't buy steel

and you're fine

[agile oracle]

ceramic instead? or soft armor?

[reef spoke]

HWDP or cerms

HWDP has come ALONG way in the last 10 years

[agile oracle]

whats HDWP stand for?

[reef spoke]

Uhhh Hight density something plastics?

[agile oracle]

nice

[reef spoke]

I forget exactly tbh

UHMWPE is another one

[agile oracle]

is that what that safelife indestructible vest is made of?

[reef spoke]

no idea

[agile oracle]

you know the one Im thinkin about?

[reef spoke]

nope

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsjOV7tcGRI&t=110s

[agile oracle]

the one that kentucky ballistics shot everything he had at it (no 50BMG or AP rounds) and didnt go thru

but he chewed it up with hundreds of rounds and it just ate em all

[reef spoke]

this is a .338 Lapua impact, dude lived.

[agile oracle]

ooh

that stuff is only rated 3 but stops 338?

[reef spoke]

no idea on that plate

[agile oracle]

bet it is lighter than steel too

[reef spoke]

but it was a poly plate

very much

[agile oracle]

my dad likes his plate carrier but is unhappy with the weight

maybe get him some plastic

[reef spoke]

i need a new carrier, ive got hesco III spec threats

[agile oracle]

they make plastic shit up to level 4?

[reef spoke]

yee

[agile oracle]

damn

whats the cost?

[reef spoke]

spendy

check to see that the carrier has enough room, they thick plates

[agile oracle]

good idea

I wish there was a brick and mortar armor store

indoor shooting range, buy and test lmao

"See for yourself!"

[reef spoke]

@agile oracle $341.54 per plate is what i found

[agile oracle]

oooh that hurts

link it to me anyway tho

im still interested

[reef spoke]

$990.36 for " dat gud shit"

[agile oracle]

the most expensive gear is what you dont have
because that costs your life

[reef spoke]

per plate

[agile oracle]

what site are you on?

[crystal rain]

whats better bt or ps

[somber portal]

BT

[compact token]

BT

[crystal rain]

ok

[dry belfry]

Both 5.45?

[crystal rain]

39

[agile oracle]

oh my crap
5 freakin pounds man!

[dry belfry]

Because I'll die on the hill that 7.62 PS is better than 5.45 BT

[reef spoke]

^

same

[agile oracle]

thats nothin

[somber portal]

good point

[crystal rain]

wait so

bt?

[compact token]

but recoil

[reef spoke]

bt for 545

[crystal rain]

alr

[somber portal]

7.62 PS>5.45 BT>5.45 PS

[dry belfry]

5.45 PS can just go ahead and fuck off

[compact token]

idk 7.62 doesn't really work in full auto

[reef spoke]

meh is okay entry level ammo

[somber portal]

Hard disagree 🙂

[unreal horizon]

ever used a 103?

[compact token]

got a build? I put a fair amount of attachments on my attempts and the recoil is still nuts

idk haven't tried it in a while though

I can use the MP7 now

[compact token]

thanks

[somber portal]

Have you tried it since the AK buff?

[pure mist]

yea i think that's meta

[compact token]

what

[pure mist]

rk 1 for a little more ergo?

[pure mist]

wrong response

[compact token]

oh ok

[unreal horizon]

you could

[somber portal]

that's meta, but I think the CMRD or B30+B-33 dust cover look much sexier

[unreal horizon]

i was just going for recoil but its prob only +1 with rk1

[somber portal]

Also note--66 ergo with the RK-2

[reef spoke]

bam, 5000 hours MS paint

[somber portal]

S-tier

[compact token]

4.6x30 is crazy value

[lyric cairn]

am i supposed to have a thermal on scav????

[reef spoke]

5.7 and 4.6 REALLLY over preform vs their IRL counter parts

[compact token]

666643 for $4/rnd at 950rpm is quite good

[reef spoke]

Yeah that happens

[unreal horizon]

rare but yes

[compact token]

idk about 4.6 but 5.7 is a pretty scary round irl too

it's got a lot of penetration power for a pistol

[lyric cairn]

never seen before

[reef spoke]

Not reallly, even the----- Fair. "for a pistol" but its no where near tarkov

[compact token]

well yeah

[reef spoke]

I am getting a hold of a 4.6 rifle to do some testing along side 5.7 and my 9x39 against plates sooner or later

[crisp nest]

i refuse to run sks so im not running 762 ps xD

[reef spoke]

"not all "AP" ammo is the same AP"

etc etc

[dry belfry]

Pls stop editing

lol

[midnight estuary]

[reef spoke]

edits OP , please nerf

[compact token]

slowmode for edits

[dry belfry]

Pls don't slowmode this channel

I hate the other channel because of slowmode

[reef spoke]

enable slow mode? Got it, will do.

[hallow arrow]

Every time I play on the server with the lowest ping (24) I get shit on by players I see come into my screen as I'm falling over dead. On the other hand, every time I play on farther servers like (64) ping I do very well. Why is this? Is it just circumstantial or is it a ping issue?

[reef spoke]

@neat grove Do the thing ❤️

[dry belfry]

Pls

Don't

Ban Tower for pinging mods

[reef spoke]

I ping friend not mod

[placid horizon]

[agile oracle]

@reef spoke I had to get off before I spent money on that website

[reef spoke]

Basically any retrieve quest on customs should be done at night

[placid horizon]

[crisp nest]

gluhar?

or lab

[compact token]

idk if it was gluhar but it was reserve

underground

I thought their presence meant someone had hit d2 so I went down there and it was off

[crisp nest]

maybe gluhar lol

[compact token]

where did my red rebel go

[crisp nest]

any keycard/ash12/m1a

[compact token]

why is my scabbard empty

[crisp nest]

👀

uh oh

go d2 then

[compact token]

I'm out

already did

but wtf

its not like I dropped it on accident

did the game just decide I need to lose 2m

[dreamy turtle]

lul

[compact token]

its not lootable and I have a hard time believing I accidentally threw it out to grab a scav knife or some shit

ok well that situation has been resolved by spending a lot of money

whatever not like I was using that 1.6m for anything important

[unreal horizon]

holy shit thats nice

so perfect

stop playing that number is too good

[compact token]

I wish I could just ditch the paracord and go D2 every time but some spawns are just begging for a tower exfil

p90 vs mp7?

[crisp nest]

mp7

p90 make monkey neuron light up

RUSH B CYKA BLYAT

[dreamy turtle]

p90 sux

[keen sluice]

both make my wallets hurt

can anyone help me with shoreline quests? dont play that map and i got a shit load

[crystal rain]

it shreds though

[viral isle]

how do I get a sherpa to help me?

[dreamy turtle]

does it tho

[mild crater]

you just do

[coarse dagger]

slide into their dms

[unreal horizon]

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[unreal horizon]

submit a ticket there

[viral isle]

ok

idk what my goals would be?

[unreal horizon]

up to you, most people like to focus on questing

play how you want, if you're not having fun either stop questing, or start questing

[viral isle]

Im trying to complete the first quest but I always die before I find a scav

but that means that I just suck hard

[unreal horizon]

thats the scav kills and shotguns right?

[viral isle]

I got the scav kills with help from someone else but I can't get any shotguns

except for one that I found with random luck

[compact token]

oh my god I repaired the tv-110 twice and it's still at 81.2

[unreal horizon]

if you're character is above lvl 2, accept 2 quests from mechanic to unlock jaeger, then you can buy the shotguns

[unreal horizon]

thats why I love it

[viral isle]

im level 5 but I don't have any other quests but the first one

[compact token]

its only armor steel too

[unreal horizon]

you need to accept the 1st one to see the 2nd one 🙂

just hidden

[compact token]

I wish the a18 was poly like the aacpc

[viral isle]

I don't get it

[unreal horizon]

1 sec lemme check the wiki

[crisp nest]

i despise tv because of double damage scavs

[unreal horizon]

i dont think it got changed

[crisp nest]

i can basically get 1 hit by 762 ps

[compact token]

what do you run

I use tactec a lot too

didn't even notice

thanks condors

[viral isle]

all I got is hand over 2 mp 133 shotguns and I need 1 more

[unreal horizon]

you get the task from mechanic

you should have 1 or 2 from therapist too

[viral isle]

I don't

[unreal horizon]

that's odd

[viral isle]

wait now I doo

do

[unreal horizon]

are you looking in the "tasks" menu or the traders task bar?

go to the individual traders and view tasks

[viral isle]

traders and then tasks

but for a while tasks had nothing in any of them but prapor's first quest

[unreal horizon]

can you screenshot what you see when you press "mechanic" then "tasks"?

[viral isle]

I see them now

[cosmic tinsel]

🍿

[viral isle]

just not earlier

[unreal horizon]

oh so its all good?

[viral isle]

yeah

[unreal horizon]

perfect

[viral isle]

ah man all the quests involve found in raid and i've never survived a single raid as a pmc

[unreal horizon]

I recommend learning the maps in offline mode

particularly customs

following someone doesnt really teach you much

[viral isle]

I somewhat know customs but I can't survive

[unreal horizon]

focus on just playing slow and being aware of your surroundings

try to listen out for people before you enter buildings and stuff like that

[viral isle]

I don't make it that far in raids though. I sneak around for 8 minutes and then die to a duo at the 9 minute mark. Sorry if im whiny

[unreal horizon]

if you're struggling killing stuff you can go offline in factory and crank the # of bots to high

[viral isle]

oh god looking at the mechanics quest and im just not cut out for this man

[unreal horizon]

usually there are 2 situations, if you're getting into fights and getting a lot of hits but dying, buy better ammo. If you're dying to people you dont see, usually map knowledge and awarness

[viral isle]

I get one shot into a dude and im dropped

[unreal horizon]

what guns are you using?

usually before lvl 10 I recommend an SKS with 762x39 PS rounds

to be honest you'll have to aim for headshots, most people will have good armor and you dont have access to great bullets yet

[viral isle]

I've used the sks, mp 133, berreta, vepr, mosin, tt, and some ak's and i've just never had the chance to shoot anything but one round out of all of them

[naive depot]

practice factory offline and get comfortable with a gun

[viral isle]

does that actually work?

[unreal horizon]

absolutely

[naive depot]

then practice you extracts offline to get a good feel for them

[viral isle]

im fighting braindead scavs and players run around and bhop

[unreal horizon]

set the # of bots to high, set the difficulty to low. You're not trying to prove anything, you're just learning how to shoot things

[viral isle]

then extracts offline are in a safe environment without any players in them that I would need to worry about?

[naive depot]

think about your route, A B and C. what's the safest way there? always go in with a plan

[naive depot]

yep

empty of no scavs or total scav bloodbath

[viral isle]

wouldn't that make things worse because im not thinking about players

[naive depot]

you gotta learn the map somehow

[viral isle]

sorry if im being whinny

[unreal horizon]

baby steps

[naive depot]

you're good

[unreal horizon]

focus on 1 thing at a time

this game isnt easy, but anyone can be good at it. you dont need crazy aim, just knowledge

[viral isle]

i've been trying to play and learn this game for about two or three wipes and im just always getting stomped

[crystal rain]

fr, my aim is complete dogshit but I can kill people cause I play it smart

unless I go for headshots

[viral isle]

im trying my hardest and I feel like im getting punished for being new

[crystal rain]

my headshots are deadly

[unreal horizon]

HE DONT MISS

[crystal rain]

he dont miss dog

[naive depot]

it's tough when you are new but map knowledge is king

map knowledge will be your key to survival

[viral isle]

yeah. As a scav i've gone past some fights by walking around the area but only to get sniped later on customs

[unreal horizon]

getting sniped is basically the sign you need to improve map knowledge

[naive depot]

remember those angles and places you got killed at for next time

[viral isle]

but I got shot in the back how do I know where he killed me

[unreal horizon]

there's only so many places people can be, usually

[crystal rain]

check everywhere

[unreal horizon]

for the most part people dont sit in random bushes

[crystal rain]

if youre running or walking someone just look all around your fov

and check corners

[viral isle]

this is tarkov i've died to those people

[unreal horizon]

play it like a survival game, not like a normal shooter

[viral isle]

Why would I not play tarkov like a normal shooter

[unreal horizon]

because it isnt a normal shooter

[viral isle]

shit I worded my answer wrong

fuck it I think I should just give up on tarkov. Im constantly fucked in every fight. I have no confidence and im just a moron who knows nothing

[unreal horizon]

ok

[viral isle]

sorry for bothering you guys

[naive depot]

you're not bothering us

[hard cosmos]

got game 5 days ago have 32 hours how stop play

[unreal horizon]

cant

u stuck now

[hard cosmos]

do i spend another 95 dollars

[celest sun]

looking for help with learning reserve

[unreal horizon]

if you really like the game, hell yeah

[hard cosmos]

ill wait till wipe

[unreal horizon]

and like obv if you have the money for it

[jolly lily]

is their any stim that increase health so i dont get one shot through paca for punishesr part 5

[round ridge]

wait till jun12/14 there might be a sale since they usually do sales on russian holidays

[desert bloom]

nah

theres just stims that heal u

i think

[jolly lily]

ima try p22 -10% dmg

[desert bloom]

yeah that works

[jolly lily]

last 2 mins

[desert bloom]

id just do factory if u need player kills cause its a hit or miss with chads or rats with shit gear

[jolly lily]

yeah im doing in fact but get one tappes by everything even fmj rounds

[desert bloom]

yeah

[jolly lily]

paca stops nothing

[vapid oracle]

what are some good flea market armors

[desert bloom]

i mean idk paca is just shit lol i would say interchange cause u might find hatchet runners but it sucks

[vapid oracle]

especially protective rigs

[desert bloom]

whats ur price limit

[unreal horizon]

play faster you shouldnt be relying on armor to save you anyway

[vapid oracle]

I'm at 1 mil

but there is one rig

all the youtubers talk about

I forget what it's called

[desert bloom]

i mean just get the one from ragman lv 2 i forget the name

[unreal horizon]

6b3tm from ragman 2 is good, if you can get tv110's under 110k thats good

[vapid oracle]

I'm lvl 13 rn

[desert bloom]

yeah the 6b3tm

thats the one

[jolly lily]

fact faster tbh i think also found one hacthet runner with m2 sword in fact who helped me on my quest

[desert bloom]

the aacpc is a really good armourd rig its 400-500k tho but its lv 5

[unreal horizon]

NEVER buy a cpc from flea

please

[desert bloom]

why do u say that just out of curiosity?

[unreal horizon]

because i'd just buy a hex/slick for 500k

[crystal rain]

why

[unreal horizon]

cpc barter is fine but dont buy thats a waste of money

[desert bloom]

true they are lv 6

[dreamy turtle]

you get cheap ones off fence

[vapid oracle]

wartechs are 90k

currently

damn

[dreamy turtle]

~120k for a 0/60 one

you repair it for like 50k

[unreal horizon]

cpc is great dont get me wrong, but id never spend 500k on it

[vapid oracle]

which earlier helms can hold a visor?

[silent reef]

need one to help me with a quest

if anyone can

[fresh saffron]

If I want to start building meta m4s for cheap what traders do i need level 4 ?

[mystic cobalt]

is there anyone that can help me all the beginners assistance rooms are full

[carmine sierra]

anybody else game keep erroring out?

"server back end error"

[winged cliff]

@fresh saffron u need to get mechanic and peacekeeper

Atleast those are the main 2

[radiant garden]

my mouse is stuck in the middle of my screen during raids

any suggestions

[pure marsh]

Have you tried messing with your aspect ratio, screen settings or anything else of the sort?

[glad flint]

@radiant garden bug. Restart game i think

[remote kettle]

it stops you getting annihilated by buckshot

[small lantern]

how do you request assistance do i just join a room?

[glad flint]

@small lantern ye. There is also sherpa hub where you can request a sherpa

[merry lynx]

Can I get a hand with learning woods today is my first day

[vapid oracle]

why the fuck are melee weapons so weak

[glad flint]

They got nerfed to the dirt to reduce hatchet running lol

And then if you hatchet run you get tagged and cursed too

[bold kernel]

Is there a quick way I can get better at PvP?

Like the map and gear

[merry lynx]

Jump on factory for pvp skill and pick a map to play and learn for the rest

[bold kernel]

I already know customs quite good but I'm so bad at finding and killing players

[merry lynx]

Um find high traffic areas

[glad flint]

Go to hot spots

[bold kernel]

NAA fuck dorms

[glad flint]

Dorms... gas station... fort... construction..

[bold kernel]

Scary

I will try

But will most probably die

What's the gear I should use?

[glad flint]

Well there's turbo Chad's there

[merry lynx]

Level 4 armor and mid range guns

[bold kernel]

I've got 6 mil which I can spend

[glad flint]

What level are you

[bold kernel]

14

[glad flint]

So you're trying to run before you can walk I see. 😋

[bold kernel]

What does that mean?

[glad flint]

It means, you wanna get good at pvp. Just play they game, do quests. You'll naturally get better and enter unique conflict

[bold kernel]

I'm gonna take it slow next wipe

[glad flint]

Running into Hotspot isn't a great way and can demoralize you unless you know what you're doing you know?

[bold kernel]

Tskrov always demolirizes me

That's why I get fed up after a few matches of dying. But.... I want to stop that and enjoy the game

[glad flint]

Rushing head first into dorms or whatever is extremely hard to survive even by veterans

[bold kernel]

Dorms is a no go zone for me

I usually just hit the stashes

[glad flint]

Then do that. Take it slow and kill people you run into

Ez

[bold kernel]

What if the peope that I run into have lvl 6 hmet with 7n31 vector and ton of grenades?

[glad flint]

Well dorms is like that

And I kill people often and I don't run crazy gear

[bold kernel]

I keep on forgetting that you don't have to take every fight

[glad flint]

Took out 2 thermal boys last weekend with the ash 12.

Yeah

Play to your strengths

[bold kernel]

You make it sound so easy lol

I really want the satisfaction of killing a thick pmc

[tulip whale]

It really is once you get the hang of it, just need to get the basics down and with the right attitude you will get a lot better relatively quickly

[bold kernel]

And to never quit

Keep on trying

[glad flint]

Oliver. Play to your strengths. Don't do stuff you don't like doing. I HATE playing aggressive. I am always playing defensive and it works well

And find a partner to play with. That helps

[bold kernel]

Ok

I'm probably more like a defensive opportunist lol. If I see a guy in a fight I will probably kill the winner who has been weakened

I want to play mostly solo since the last guy I played with kinda carried me and I felt like I wasn't learning anything

When I have the time and get home firm school can I watch you play ?. So I can see how you move around the map and in fights?

What does that swirly emoji mean?

[glad flint]

@bold kernel I often play in sherpahub on the weekends with my other sherpa friend

We do walk ins and help people

As well as stream

[bold kernel]

I have time tommrow to watch I think

I can play with other people as long as they don't get angry all the time and bring in the best gear ever

I don't understand but how do people have an entire stash full if containers and gear?

[tulip whale]

By not dying as much and slowly ammasing gear

The more you live raids the more stuff will slowly build up over time, people end up with "better" stashes the better they get at the game usually

I wouldn't really worry about peoples stashes though it doesn't matter all that much

[glad flint]

I'm talking Saturday.

Or sunday

Maybe both

[alpine anvil]

I got 1mil and i have flea but not sure what kits i should get

[tulip whale]

With 1 mil and considering you just got flea I wouldn't worry about trying to buy nice kits, run whatever you have and can afford to die with

[alpine anvil]

i got like no guns though only an sks with a bunch of attachments

[glad flint]

Looks pog

[alpine anvil]

what bullets should i use for it

[tulip whale]

! Ballistics

sigh

[alpine anvil]

!ballistics

what

thought that was a command...

[tulip whale]

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

That will give you the stats of each and every ammo, I would recommend looking at stats and the cost of a round to decide what you should run

[alpine anvil]

is this good

i got ps ammo

[true bough]

no reason to take in a helmet when you don't have body armor

[alpine anvil]

was thinking of buying a paca

[true bough]

just put that helmet away and buy GSSH headphones and a balaclava instead

[tulip whale]

Your probably going to want a backpack too

[glad flint]

@alpine anvil you should always wear body armor

[alpine anvil]

should i have a paca

[sand gust]

decent against scavs

[tulip whale]

It will protect you from shotgun scavs, that's about it

But you always get it back from insurance so unlikely to loose it

[tough gull]

You can also shred broken PACAs into two Aramid and sell thwm for 22k each

(Lavatory craft)

or just buy PACAs and shred them new, still profitable

[remote kettle]

discord bot that checks the legitimacy of links

[grizzled isle]

what is that reddot as i cant add it on my Hunter

[glad flint]

Hes talking about the Iron sight with a rail on it.

[grizzled isle]

ye

[glad flint]

Its the Burris fast fire

You need an adapter to put it on

[minor garnet]

hmu if you need help

[arctic oyster]

Is the final target at the end of wall in the shooting range 100 meters from the boxes and interactable?

Ah, apologies. Wrong chat.

[coarse mango]

any new NA players need help or just wanna run some raids?

[velvet blade]

anyone down to helping me improve fighting and combat skills while I stream?

[royal monolith]

i recently downloaded the game i have a sort of good idea where all the extracts are on customs but i keep dying or running out of time cause i sometimes fail to find the exact location of some extracts or dont know the direction to go does anyone have any tips

[velvet blade]

@royal monolithgoogle "eft <extract name> location" and see the pictures

a tip: scav extracts usually (or maybe always) have big red gates

if you go as PMC, main extracts are ZB 11, cross roads and trailer park, they're always open

[royal monolith]

okay

[solar sapphire]

whens next wipe?

[slow sleet]

No idea

Prob september tbh

I pray to the gods of tarkov for the Big update

[solar sapphire]

question

with laser sights, when I ADS the laser is way above the sights at longer ranges, do I trust the laser or the sight?

[calm crescent]

Can someone help me im new, I just got the game today

[craggy sapphire]

I accidentally just bought a flir

[cinder hound]

sup

[calm crescent]

sup tails

[vapid oracle]

is the STM pt good?

cause I tried it and the recoil is like nothing

[somber portal]

It's fun, but not that good

[candid fractal]

is a silencer needed on an mp7?

I just got peacekeeper level 3

and i could run a non silenced build for like 60k

with fmj

[somber portal]

-10 recoil% isn't small, but you can get by without it.

[candid fractal]

or would running a p90 be better?

because the silencer on that is half price

but 5.7 does not hit as well as 4.6

so my logic was ammo > silencer

[thorny phoenix]

silencers are good cause youre not alerting 90% of the map that you just shot at something

they lower recoil (not as much as muzzle brakes tho), and your bullets are a little faster

[pure mist]

pistol calibre with low firing rate

[atomic orchid]

lfg lvl 8 customs reserves interchange

[slow sleet]

Stm9? Godly, amazing price to performace, best thing i used in this game

[bold kernel]

its a fun gun

but not the best one

its decent

[slow sleet]

Idk about u but my skill level makes the stm9 the best.

[tulip whale]

The STM 9 is just objectively worse than other options though

But its a lot of fun so meh

[slow sleet]

What u like to burn theough ammo?

Through

Im a semi auto kinda guy

Preserve money

Oh i posted mynold guns the mpx lol

[tulip whale]

Then why not use something that shoots M61, costs about the same as 7n and has wildly better performance

[slow sleet]

Ill get my stm9 up sometime

I us ap6.3

Use

[tulip whale]

Fair enough

[slow sleet]

I find th 7n shoots up with the stm9 on far range?

Ap is fine af tho for it.

Plus i buy my stm9s for about 30k stock

Shoots as fast as u can pull the trigger also

Also had someone do a test and theatricaly it can shoot like a full auto >.> why you would want that would be mind bogaling tho

[vapid oracle]

I use ak

cause I am basic

and smelly

also holy shit

I put on wartech armor for the first time

and jesus chrsit

I swear they block everything

[unreal horizon]

they do not

[vapid oracle]

it sure feels like it

@unreal horizon

I literally felt invincible with the wartech and AkN

[glad tundra]

just got my 1st real pc and getting my @$$ handed to me on here anyone want to join up help a brother out

[unreal horizon]

play just as carefully as normal

it'll save you from scavs but not players

[dry belfry]

tf is a wartech

[fleet rock]

tv rig

[dry belfry]

Woof

I like TV's, never pay for them though

[fleet rock]

yeah, im constantly broke so i rarely use tvs

[slow sleet]

Man sound like yall need a stm9 in your life

[dry belfry]

Baby poop armor, that's all you need

[fleet rock]

stm9 more like garbage

[dry belfry]

Trigger Warning

[slow sleet]

If u think thats garbage

[fleet rock]

shit gun

bad

[slow sleet]

Best go back to roblox

[fleet rock]

garbage even

[dry belfry]

What caliber is it

[slow sleet]

9x19

[fleet rock]

9mm

[unreal horizon]

its a pretty glock

[slow sleet]

Use ap6.3 with er

[fleet rock]

lmao

[dry belfry]

What's AP go for from traders?

[fleet rock]

cant

[unreal horizon]

like 4 dollars or some shit

5?

[slow sleet]

Traders no idea

[fleet rock]

1.2k on the flea

per bullet

[slow sleet]

Hell yeah 1.2 on flea

[fleet rock]

craft ap 6.3 if you gonna use it

[dry belfry]

If you can get it from a trader, fine, but paying 1.2k per round for those stats is kinda wild

[slow sleet]

Im stocked over 1000 bullets atm

[dry belfry]

I do like the gun though, tbh

[slow sleet]

Its a great gun for only 30k

[unreal horizon]

m80 having better stats for 2 dollars

[dry belfry]

Probably wouldn't choose to use it, but I get excited when I get the chance to use it

[dry belfry]

Boi don't get me started on M80

[slow sleet]

Mike

Dont make me put u in a lake bro

[dry belfry]

We're big M80 fans around here

[unreal horizon]

stfu

[slow sleet]

I got ALL the stats at home

[unreal horizon]

oh yeah

[fleet rock]

if you wanted a good pistol use the FN 5-7

[unreal horizon]

"good pistol"

[fleet rock]

deadass just a better gun

[slow sleet]

Mpx better then vector for price to performance

Then if u dont like full auto go stm9

[unreal horizon]

i dont think anyone's arguing against that

[slow sleet]

I got all the sexy stats at home

[fleet rock]

'if you dont like full auto'

[slow sleet]

Spent hours building a data sheet

I hate full auto

Waste of money

[fleet rock]

its 9x19

[dry belfry]

I also don't use full auto a lot

[slow sleet]

1.2kx33

[fleet rock]

what recoil are you dealing with that makes you hate full auto

[slow sleet]

1.2kx50r

[fleet rock]

and if money is your concern dont run ap 6.3

[dry belfry]

I can't use Mk-18 on full auto, recoil too high

[slow sleet]

Thats a shit ton of money for a mag lol

[fleet rock]

run BT rounds

[dry belfry]

Trigger Warning

BT is shit

[thorny phoenix]

i want to use mk 18 with ap rounds

[slow sleet]

If u cant run ap u might as well run shit all

[unreal horizon]

how many shots for 6.3 to kill a slick? because for 2200 m61 can do it in 2 shots

[slow sleet]

Slick idk i shoot heads

[dry belfry]

M80 just looks at a Slick and it breaks

You load into a raid with M80 chambered? All armor instantly 0's on the map

[fleet rock]

BT higher pen than BP

[thorny phoenix]

if your game sense is as shit as mine, ammo doesnt matter

[unreal horizon]

i wouldnt even call the stm an off meta gun

its just bad

[fleet rock]

garbage

[thorny phoenix]

is m80 enough for shturman

[unreal horizon]

9x19 (bad), single fire (bad)

[thorny phoenix]

id say it is even too much

[dry belfry]

I honestly don't even use bullets anymore. I just think my opponents to death

[fleet rock]

ap63 barely pens level 3

fuck you gonna do when i load in with a gen 4 and altyn?

cry

[unreal horizon]

even a multihit

and you're fucked

[fleet rock]

cry about it

matched by T45M rounds

[unreal horizon]

[slow sleet]

Feel bad for all the chads i killed with a m9a3 with ap rounds

Fucjin sucks dying to 9x19 with some serious helmats

[fleet rock]

[slow sleet]

Loaded with m4's hks and vectors

[unreal horizon]

wym he just shoots through the glass

[fleet rock]

cant pen altyn

[slow sleet]

If u cant kill people with 9x19, its you, not the round

[fleet rock]

[unreal horizon]

altyn disagrees

[slow sleet]

Tell that to people i have killed

[unreal horizon]

like idk what to tell you you're literally just incorrect

[slow sleet]

Go get a budy to wear an atlyn, shoot him in the head just a few times

[unreal horizon]

9x19 isnt a good round, even less so semi auto

[slow sleet]

Well thats you mike

[fleet rock]

getting on battle buddy rn

[unreal horizon]

yikes

[fleet rock]

[unreal horizon]

that is

[fleet rock]

good fucking luck

[unreal horizon]

sub optimal

[fleet rock]

magdump me i dare you

mag dump me in SEMI AUTO

get a real gun, get a real bullet

[unreal horizon]

yeah you could mag dump it, or you could 1 tap it with m61

[fleet rock]

ikr

[unreal horizon]

this guy

[slow sleet]

Guess yall suck idk what to tell you lol

Been playin this game for a few wipes now and ap is fine

[edgy tinsel]

What is the best 5.45x39 ammo?

[unreal horizon]

BS, igolnik is fine against players but not raiders

[unreal horizon]

compelling argument ig so

[fleet rock]

*uses ap 6.3 instead

[unreal horizon]

ig we're just bad 🤷

[slow sleet]

Yes i do

I didnt say that round is bad, i just wont use it.

No need for mw to use it

[fleet rock]

no you said we suck

because we said your gun is bad

[unreal horizon]

[fleet rock]

here is proof your gun is bad

[slow sleet]

If u cant kill with 9x19 and u need a stronger bullet ig u do

[fleet rock]

you one of those people that chooses to be blind?

because if you need your eyes open that you are trash?

[slow sleet]

No, i opened my eyes and saw reality.

[fleet rock]

ok socrates calm down

[slow sleet]

Everyone agrees with you, against me, think about who the aheep are lol

[unreal horizon]

using stm with 6.3 doesnt make you cool or good it just means you're ignoring all the info telling you its bad

[slow sleet]

Sheep

[fleet rock]

again can i stress the importance of this image

[slow sleet]

I have all the info i need to make the decision for stm9

[fleet rock]

and this one

the risk was calculated

but man you were bad at math

[slow sleet]

If a bullet does not pen what happens

[unreal horizon]

how much dura for 97.6%?

[slow sleet]

Damage the armor

[fleet rock]

as we have shown

in the images above

you would need to sink many rounds into the altyn face shield to even think about penning it

[slow sleet]

If u cant understand the concept of damaging armor then u really need to do some homework

[fleet rock]

notice the durability slider

the helmet is very fucking broken

and still

[slow sleet]

He still talkin about pen lol

[fleet rock]

you cant do shit

[unreal horizon]

90% sure this guys trolling

scary 10% though

[fleet rock]

no look at the name

[slow sleet]

If pen is the only thing i look for then i would go with a stronger round, hell even bump to a 7n

But their is more factors for the reason i with ap

[unreal horizon]

what are you looking for, price/performance? if so use m80

[fleet rock]

if you dont want pen pick up rip rounds

why dont you use rip rounds?

[slow sleet]

Price to performance, stm9

[fleet rock]

use quakemaker then

[unreal horizon]

25k hunter, 2.5$ m80

sounds good to me

[brave bough]

Honestly Im not sure why I did this but I did .....

[slow sleet]

Rip rounds high damage, no pen at anything higher then what lvl1

Gotta have some pen chance

[fleet rock]

better than stm9

[unreal horizon]

[fleet rock]

so pen is important?

[arctic crown]

ap is a good round

[bold kernel]

very

[slow sleet]

Every stat is important

[unreal horizon]

be aware if you're not using AP in that, its not very strong

[slow sleet]

If u take pen and dmg is 0

[bold kernel]

if it has AP or B (BS BT) or a 7 in it it probs has high pen

[slow sleet]

Your shit outa luck

[unreal horizon]

also 366 isnt incredibly accurate at long range

[bold kernel]

7N93 and that sorta stuff

[brave bough]

Im good

[unreal horizon]

perfect

[candid panther]

can someone help me ? i am new

[unreal horizon]

ask good questions

[brave bough]

However modding this might not have been my smartest decision

[unreal horizon]

instead of asking "someone help" ask "how to i do ___"

[unreal horizon]

it'll be fiiiiiiine

[brave bough]

👁️ 👄 👁️ The no armor scav quest on woods cost me a lot not just my sanity

[fleet rock]

good

[arctic crown]

with that account, yes it was a bad idea but it will be a good learning expirience

:p

[thorny phoenix]

i got that done pretty quick with 18k mosin

jaeger is interesting, but annoying

[brave bough]

Ran into full geared players 7 times

[unreal horizon]

note the line continuing to the hyper-chad ps12b

[brave bough]

.-.

Sitting around in some bush

[unreal horizon]

ash-12 ping is the best sound in the game

[brave bough]

With an HK like dafuq

[thorny phoenix]

i havent ran into a single pmc in like 3 wood raids

[candid panther]

can someone help me ? i am new

[brave bough]

The one that got me out I had 4 pmc kills 👀

[unreal horizon]

instead of asking "someone help" ask "how to i do ___"

[thorny phoenix]

lmao hes here again

[unreal horizon]

idek

like help with what? what map? what quest?

we cant just "help"

[thorny phoenix]

(look at his messages)

[unreal horizon]

ik its fucking brutal

[thorny phoenix]

i never heard mk 18 in game before, but that sound is terrifying

[unreal horizon]

loud noises

[thorny phoenix]

a noise of you getting point n clicked in your thorax

never seen GL being used in game

[brave bough]

Heard a lapua once

30 seconds later I got one tapped

😂

[polar hawk]

👁️ 👄 👁️

[unreal horizon]

I see them more than you'd expect

hexgrid p90 bastion lvl 52 guy got popped by shturmans guard

[unreal horizon]

i have a wcase with a bunch i'm a collector now

[thorny phoenix]

[serene osprey]

Just got the game and was wondering if any NA players could help me little in customs, would appreciate it.

[compact zenith]

I haven't played shoreline for a while and have no idea where I'm at right now. Any help? I'm trying to find my way to jam the signals for a quest

No, I managed that in a previous raid

That place was easy to find

I know where I'm supposed to go, but I'm lost about where I'm at now

Oh

Oh yeah I do lol

I forgot

Yeah, I know where to go now lol

I probably never use that thing

[fleet rock]

PSA: STM9 is a bad gun and 9x19 is a bad bullet

goodnight everybody

[pure mist]

with vector is fine but stm9 single mode is trash

[fleet rock]

vector is fine i give you that

vector is very fine

[thorny phoenix]

6 hp grid smh

[unreal horizon]

kektor is stinky and if you use it you're stinky too

[fleet rock]

45 vector is also better

[thorny phoenix]

works as intended

[fleet rock]

i used the vector once after i exit camped somebody for it

was not bad tbh

[cosmic tinsel]

the argument is never that the vector is bad, just that its OP

[fleet rock]

yeah but ADAR is better

[unreal horizon]

i dont think its very fun

[vivid ember]

use sawed off mosin

[fleet rock]

ADAR is best gun in the game

[vivid ember]

be chad

[cosmic tinsel]

i used it last week and picked up a 5kill in crack house and mostly felt bad about it

[slow sleet]

Lol

Op lmfao

[cosmic tinsel]

i did accidentally kill a guy on the stairs tho

[vivid ember]

use stm-9

ignore recoil

[fleet rock]

ADAR is better STM-9

[unreal horizon]

yup

[vivid ember]

use adar

be cheap

[slow sleet]

Thats a man right their

[cosmic tinsel]

it did not feel good lol

[thorny phoenix]

poor guy got slapped by hunter's m61

[vivid ember]

use akm

big bullet

[compact zenith]

Damn, I've really overestimated the drop in this game
I downed like 3 people from 100 meters away on shoreline without lifting the crosshair above their head once lol
With an sks*

[vivid ember]

btw is there a way to fix the inconsistency with my reticle and where my bullet goes

i took some adar i built for a spin and by bullets are goin wherever they want

[unreal horizon]

762 russian does drop hard, but 100m isnt that far

[vivid ember]

i heard fov can mess it up but idk im inexperienced

[fleet rock]

sighting ranges in tarkov have been broken for a very long time

[vivid ember]

i have it at 50m constant

or however low it can go

[unreal horizon]

same

[vivid ember]

yeah

[thorny phoenix]

44.8 durability grid, is it same as c5 armor?

[vivid ember]

i bring my adar to the range, shoot at the far wall, and my bullet goes like a good inch (on my screen) below where im aiming

or im just bad

[unreal horizon]

prob a bit better

[compact zenith]

I didn't even know where I was going and extracted only because I accidentally came across the rock passage lol

[cosmic tinsel]

veritas made an app for ios and android called "battle buddy" that lets you check how armor impacts pen chance. theres also a google spreadsheet option but its a lot slower (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Nd_-auN4sEG3WViGXYevnMhOwjdSum5Yf_MwfCE1nxc/edit#gid=0)

[pure mist]

well the grid is 50 max

[fleet rock]

there it is

the battle buddy

[thorny phoenix]

oh i have it on my phone

[fleet rock]

best app ever made deadass

same

[thorny phoenix]

i just keep forgetting to use it cause im too used to alt tabbing

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

its fantastic

sort of once you use it a few times you'll get a feel for what fried armor means

[compact zenith]

Well, it only works when the green smokes are on, but this was honestly the first time I've ever seen it open as well

Probably because I went out so early on

[cosmic tinsel]

its a great exfil. dont think exfils turn off, despite what the HUD indicates, but i'm not sure i'd know the difference unless I saw one turn off in front of me

[compact zenith]

I think they get disabled once someone uses them

[unreal horizon]

i've camped it and never seen it turn off 🤷 take that as you will

[cosmic tinsel]

i've seen people exfil and then used the exfil after

[compact zenith]

Have you seen anyone go in

[unreal horizon]

it's not single use

[compact zenith]

Eh, maybe I'm wrong then

I haven't really camped extracts

[slow sleet]

I think when u load the map its either on or off the whole game

[cosmic tinsel]

at the end of the day the instances where it matter are basically edge cases

[unreal horizon]

this morning I extracted at pier boat

1st time ive seen it open all wipe

[cosmic tinsel]

i got a buddy thats the boat whisperer. every time we play shoreline together it works. it never works when i'm solo

took the boat probably 8 times with him while questing

[unreal horizon]

how can you tell its open? I saw some red glare effect at the edges of my screen when i moved it

figured that meant it was open

[cosmic tinsel]

you dont you have to walk down on the dock

it used to have a light

[unreal horizon]

I saw something but idk if it was exit related

from the main road there was red glare from the pier

[cosmic tinsel]

theres a chance they changed it since i tried, but I've never noticed anything

[unreal horizon]

i figure its related bc it was the first time i saw the glare, and 1sst time the exit was open

could be some other shenanigans though

[cosmic tinsel]

i'd guess unrelated shenanigans, but honestly I hope you're right

[thorny phoenix]

i pick up one item and im overweight smh

[unreal horizon]

I would like boat to always be open with a fee like car exit

[cosmic tinsel]

baby overweight is good, trains strength!

[thorny phoenix]

unless it drains your stamina while walking

[cosmic tinsel]

what'd you grab damn

sten?

[thorny phoenix]

im overweight like that every 2nd raid :/

[cosmic tinsel]

i dont remember being low level well enough to opine if that's normal. i know i dont have that issue with 36 strength

(labs excepted)

[thorny phoenix]

my 5 strength cries in a corner

[unreal horizon]

you'll hit max in no time then

[arctic crown]

dont wear that zabralo every raid :p

lel 9 strength at 41

[unreal horizon]

I grinded my last 2 str levels last night

[thorny phoenix]

hgrid is almost 7kg alone

[pure mist]

nope

[cosmic tinsel]

big ups

[unreal horizon]

I move rapidly

[pure mist]

it's about 6kg

[arctic crown]

Jesus what lvl are you

[unreal horizon]

if you want to make them bleed, you have to move with speed

[unreal horizon]

i've been grinding it though, its not natural

[cosmic tinsel]

im completely natty

and im 36 str for lvl 60

[thorny phoenix]

i said almost, its exactly 6.2

[arctic crown]

Gptta do something while waiting in D2? XD

[cosmic tinsel]

he is pedantic but correct

[unreal horizon]

i've been air filtered up grinding for a month or so

[cosmic tinsel]

armors heavy tho

[pliant stag]

this might be a dumb question but whats the case that streamers have in their gamma?

[cosmic tinsel]

docs case?

sicc case?

is it brown or black

[urban scarab]

what maps should i use for interchange? im super confused about where the stores are and the layout

[unreal horizon]

For anyone thinking about grinding to max, its NOT worth, but its pretty rad

[compact zenith]

[unreal horizon]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov I use this for everything

[cosmic tinsel]

people love mapgenie, I just use the wiki

[thorny phoenix]

[patent valley]

how can we tell if a player is a scav or pmc, is it just the uniform?

[compact zenith]

Scavs usually wear civilian clothes

[arctic crown]

[unreal horizon]

is it true loot spawns are reduced in dead lobbies?

I heard its kind of a way to stop poeple from abusing empty servers
