[haughty tulip]

Wasn't shoreline?

[cosmic tinsel]

shoreline has more

[haughty tulip]

I can't remember who was talking about it

[cosmic tinsel]

customs is on the map that has the quests

[haughty tulip]

Shoreline is safeish

[crystal rain]

shoreline is the last map I would learn

[cosmic tinsel]

and also people dont usually hit stashes there

[naive depot]

interchange also has a ton of weapon crates and stuff to open

it's stash+other loot on there

[haughty tulip]

Yeah

[unreal horizon]

IC and shoreline caches will both fill your bag, imo inter is better because theyre all in a circle and you can hit a ton in a row

[haughty tulip]

Most people hit resort and call it a day

[naive depot]

did you know interchange has 40 computers?

[haughty tulip]

ohhh

[unreal horizon]

i knew it had at least 3

[cosmic tinsel]

i was getting absolutely flattened hitting computers at IC

[haughty tulip]

A good path beats amount

[broken moth]

I need to do a mission on shoreline. check out to satellite dishes. I know where they are, but all those open field look daunting..

two

[cosmic tinsel]

avoid the open fields, and follow ridges/treelines

[haughty tulip]

If you give it around 5 mins when you start it's mostly safe

[naive depot]

83 weapon boxes 💀

[cosmic tinsel]

shorelines been super dead lately

[broken moth]

ok, ill give it try.

[haughty tulip]

Except for rock passage area, resort obviously, power station is somewhat dangerous

[naive depot]

i love it when new players hit me back up "yo i've been using your route and i'm making sick money now"

[haughty tulip]

And tunnel extract is camped decently

[cosmic tinsel]

😄

[broken moth]

I need to go to resort on the roof 🙂

[cosmic tinsel]

pier too

[cosmic tinsel]

its actually reasonably safe

[haughty tulip]

Yeah but for his quest he ain't going there

Wait

Satellite dishes?

Isn't one on the top of resort

[unreal horizon]

beware of campers at rock passage and tunnel, otherwise the map is quiet

[broken moth]

yeah.. rooftop of the west wing. and the radio mast

[haughty tulip]

Well that one is easy

Just naked run

Over and over until you make it

Yiu can take something then ditch it when you know you are safe from scavs

[broken moth]

Over and over 🙂 aah shiiit

[haughty tulip]

Well bro

I don't know anyone who hasn't had to try their quest over and over

At some point

[broken moth]

Yeah I've been lucky quest wise I guess.

[unreal horizon]

they're only getting harder 🤷

[haughty tulip]

Pretty much

[broken moth]

Yeah I need some friends to play with.

[haughty tulip]

I would focus on learning maps and improving survival and pvp

Then questing as soon as wipe starts

It gets easier I believe

[naive depot]

map knowledge is #1

[haughty tulip]

Yes

[naive depot]

gear, guns, ammo, none of that matters

[haughty tulip]

Well...

Ammo tho

[cosmic tinsel]

if you know the maps, the rest follows

[naive depot]

@haughty tulip put a day one player in a full meta kit and you naked on IC

[broken moth]

ammo a little yes .

[haughty tulip]

[naive depot]

see who fares better

[haughty tulip]

God that's obvious but

buuuut

[naive depot]

if you're new map knowledge will help you out the most since you can't really get good stuff

[haughty tulip]

What if

What if they have decent aim?

[cosmic tinsel]

ammo matters in a firefight of course

[haughty tulip]

What if somehow they killed a full chad

[cosmic tinsel]

but if you know where to go, where people are unlikely to be

[naive depot]

then they will make way more noise than they realize and get killed in the offices 😉

[haughty tulip]

Using rat tactics

[modern oyster]

i just wanna get some sick ass loot ong

[haughty tulip]

Ah

Well usually that ends in you being killed by someone sniping

or extract camping

[cosmic tinsel]

loot comes from game knowledge! there are richer maps (IC, resort)

[naive depot]

it's like ok cool i killed a guy...where are people gonna be coming from to get me while i'm looting

[cosmic tinsel]

but your best bet is getting out there and figuring out rotations and routes that work for you

[haughty tulip]

reserve is decent to get nice loot

and there;s no need to fight

but you need the map knowledge

or you are dead 11/10

[naive depot]

spawn idea side, go to goshan warehouse then through oli then extract emercom
spawn emercom side go through oli, goshan warehouse and extract at railway

easy loot easy extract*

[broken moth]

I saw a lot of snipers on reserve lately.

[naive depot]

*emercom checkpoint results may vary

[naive depot]

routes can be daunting on IC at first especially once you start hitting stores inside the mall

especially if you're new and want to try to hit techno and rasmussen that gets so rough at times

has anyone ever made a map that shows some basic routes people can use?

[urban nova]

Is lab keycard 1 time or unlimited access?

[cosmic tinsel]

no maps, but theres a billion video walkthrus, including pestilys pc guide

[naive depot]

1 time use except for the colored ones

[cosmic tinsel]

white cards one use, colored cards multiple use

[urban nova]

Damn, thats mad expensice then

[naive depot]

level 4 therapist will sell them for 207k

[cosmic tinsel]

yep, lab is not really something you do to make money

[naive depot]

key card with blue maraking is one use too inside the raid

[cosmic tinsel]

tru

[naive depot]

i wouldn't worry about trying to play labs for a while

[urban nova]

Haha then its better to sell

[cosmic tinsel]

100%

[urban nova]

Yeah

[naive depot]

you'll get clapped in 30 seconds more than likely

[cosmic tinsel]

its where i go to liquidate my money

[urban nova]

Hahaha

[naive depot]

some of those spawns are so close together

[cosmic tinsel]

a guy i was showing labs to and I ran into a player that had killed two players within the first 60 seconds of the raid, last night*

absolutely cramped

[urban nova]

Yeah man pvp is hard as hell against pmcs

Somehow they always headshot😂

[cosmic tinsel]

aggression and map knowledge will get you far, but that really only is developed with practice

headshots are important in this game

as is pointfiring

[naive depot]

i remember trying to build up the courage to start pushing people

it's scary as hell at first but with a lot of people you push them first it's gonna scare them

[cosmic tinsel]

i had luck just spamming factory with pp-19 vityaz and shotguns

trying to understand how to aim head at all times

[hot spear]

So guys, just got the game and my ninja way is to become the most rattiest shotgun toting rat in the south. Any general tips?

[urban nova]

Haha yeha will have to practice on factory

[unreal horizon]

oh yeah?

rush prap 3

[naive depot]

magnum buckshot, AP-20 or shrap 10

[unreal horizon]

ks 23 gaming

[hot spear]

Hell yeah brother

[modern oyster]

so how do you know if a sight or mag is compatible with ur gun before buying it?

[naive depot]

magnum buckshot hit the legs, AP-20 can one shot to the chest through level 4 armor, shrap 10 kills anyone to the legs in one shot

[cosmic tinsel]

i've been recommending flech over ap-20 this late in wipe

[hot spear]

Doing it now >:D

[cosmic tinsel]

and shrap25 over shrap 10

[hot spear]

I'll wiki those rounds

[naive depot]

do you have the flea market?

[modern oyster]

do you have to be a certain lvl?

[naive depot]

level 10 and do a linked search on the gun by right clicking it and clicking linked search

otherwise your best best is to check the mag and your gun and ensure the ammo calibers and gun type match, i can help you out if you need some help right now

[unreal horizon]

thats smart person shit, but not rat shit

true rats use 10

[cosmic tinsel]

i've been clippin ranged shrap25 kills 😄

[hot spear]

Whats the difference between 10 and 25?

[unreal horizon]

meter range

[crystal rain]

theres shrap25?

[naive depot]

yeah

[naive depot]

hey i forgot to tell you something

[unreal horizon]

the argument why 25 is better, is because they both kill in 6 pellets anyway, shrap10 just overdoes it

[vale violet]

remove the ks23

[cosmic tinsel]

25 has longer range but slightly less damage. the difference in damage doesnt affect the pellet to kill breakpoint

[naive depot]

star rounds are a flashbang round that blind people

🙊

[hot spear]

What? lol

[naive depot]

i said what i said

😤

[red folio]

shrap25 has less of a spread

ah, he beat me to it

[hot spear]

Hold on, let me read that again... but slowly... Flashbang.. ROUNDS?

[naive depot]

YES!!!

[hot spear]

Wtf

lol

[naive depot]

you know someone's there, round the corner flash bang them

[hot spear]

So, load one flash round, and the rest shells lol

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

[modern oyster]

im only lvl 2 and have an smg so ill find the mags and ammo for it

[hot spear]

That's cracked

[naive depot]

or hit them in the head with your melee for ultimate BM

[unreal horizon]

the argument why 25 is better, is because they both kill in 6 pellets anyway, shrap10 just overdoes it

[naive depot]

which smg?

[cosmic tinsel]

one shot, one kill, leg deleted

[hot spear]

I'm only level 8 lol, all my traders are level one, no idea how to level the traders.
Do you just spend money on them and level up?

[hot spear]

Jesus, RIP.

[cosmic tinsel]

they require money spent, player level, and quest progression

[unreal horizon]

quests

[red folio]

questing lvls traders

[naive depot]

there's a money requirement you reach by buying and selling to them, player level and rep from doing tasks

[hot spear]

Ah gotcha, thanks dudes 🙂

[naive depot]

protip: buying dollars from peacekeeper counts towards the total

you'll need dollars anyways

[hot spear]

I'll try and do the quests

Oh, sweet

[cosmic tinsel]

Protip on this tip: buying slim diaries and selling em to PK gets you more dollars as long as they're less than 35k each

[modern oyster]

this all i got

[naive depot]

whoah

[hot spear]

I really need to get used to the Leg meta with the shotguns. My R6 Siege mindset is to constantly aim for the head, but I have no equip and people walk around in 40k terminator armor and laugh and chew on my buckshot like it's dip.

Then spit on me with their 600 rpm death guns

[naive depot]

only 600 rpm?

[cosmic tinsel]

I made the same swap. It's the hardest part of leg meta.

[naive depot]

mp9 is 1100 rpm 👀

[hot spear]

LOL

[cosmic tinsel]

On an ump, maybe

[naive depot]

kedr is 900 rpm 👀

[naive depot]

you see those 9x19-pp19 mags

those+pst gzh

[rose rock]

Glock 18 is stupud fast

[modern oyster]

whats that

[naive depot]

you can get the mags from prapor and the pst gzh from prapor level 2, mechanic level 1 and peacekeeper level 1

[hot spear]

Dudes I swear, I was ratting on factory yesterday and this dude walked up to me in what looked to be space marine armor

I was terrified.

[naive depot]

you have the mags and ammo you need for your gun in your inventory though

[cosmic tinsel]

Heavy trooper mask is modeled on stormtrooper/mandalorian helmets

[modern oyster]

yea im boutta do an offline raid real quick

[hot spear]

Ah, that's what it was, dude looked like a clone trooper but with like 6 flashlights on his gun.

My retinas were permanently damaged.

[naive depot]

i love flashlights

[cosmic tinsel]

Flashlights are nuts

[hot spear]

Is there any tarkov eye insurance that covers permanent injury to IRL eyes.

[naive depot]

unfortunately not

[hot spear]

Lol

[naive depot]

your best choice is to return the favor to another player

[red folio]

always

[hot spear]

So, who would be the best sherpa to teach me how to be more of a rat then master splinter?

[ember pendant]

Put in a sherpa request for rat master.

They like calling it crabbing over there though.

[unreal horizon]

when did crabbing start

[naive depot]

when cal was working on max covert

[hot spear]

Lol sounds good.

[unreal horizon]

I swear people only started saying that like a week or 2 ago

[naive depot]

😛

[ember pendant]

When cal started leveling it lol.

He started leveling it like 1 month ago.

[naive depot]

i know he did it hard but it only took a month to level?

[ember pendant]

I mean a month of grinding.

Obviously he had leveled it passively before it was a goal.

Silent ads is killer.

[unreal horizon]

crab across shoreline

thats brutal

[past pasture]

im looking for company if you wanna play and do some tasks message me

[ember pendant]

He did it near saferoom on ic.

[red folio]

My covert is only at lvl 8. takes so long

[past pasture]

level 54 and still level 1 covert

[hot spear]

How do you develop covert? Crouch until you develop permanent camptocormia?

[red folio]

been thinking about just loading up with a bunch of food and creeping around woods

[naive depot]

i'm at level 8 covert

[ember pendant]

Walk below 25% move speed.

[hot spear]

Thanks!

[naive depot]

level 40 pmc

[red folio]

yeah. 35 here lol

[ember pendant]

Mines around 12 @ 40.

[red folio]

make a creep squad

[ember pendant]

Lend and Cal did that.

[past pasture]

so nobody? :c

[ember pendant]

Granted 2-3 of us were running around the mall and they just listened for secret.

Try #pvp-lfg

Also how do people not have the PMC role?

[past pasture]

ik but im looking specifically for beginners

[past pasture]

i dont know

[haughty tulip]

I'm guessing a random mod gives it to you when they see you

[red folio]

then say that in LFG m8

[ember pendant]

#pvp-lfg
"Looking for beginners to play with for starter tasks"

[red folio]

or in beginners chat. not assistance

[past pasture]

do that to 200k people? i dont think so

[cosmic tinsel]

someone had the issue the other day and they left and rejoined the server

[ember pendant]

@naive depot What's the dealo with white names?

[cosmic tinsel]

and then were granted the role

[haughty tulip]

Well my role came by randomly

I got operator today

[cosmic tinsel]

and what do i gotta do to get blue 😉

[haughty tulip]

But I did not do anything

[past pasture]

i wont do that since its cool that i dont have it lol

[red folio]

not be an ass and help others

[haughty tulip]

Maybe yes

Gotta share love

Tarkov is enough for hatred and scav on scav violance

[ember pendant]

Teal is a shade of blue 😄

[red folio]

hopefully that ends in 12.11

[haughty tulip]

But imagine

Imagine how scary it would be

As pmc

To have and face a scav army

[hot spear]

Guys, real talk, how do I get this game to stop scaring the shit out of me when I get shot at

I keep busting my knees on my pc desk

[unreal horizon]

i see it as a win, scavs charge you and you get more loot

[naive depot]

people that somehow don't have roles applied

[haughty tulip]

You just get used to it eventually

[naive depot]

i have no idea lmao

[hot spear]

Is it just something you get used to?

lol

[unreal horizon]

when you get shot at enough you stop caring

[haughty tulip]

I still get shared when I missfire my own gun

[naive depot]

yes

[haughty tulip]

Scared*

[naive depot]

knowing the map you're on will help a ton with that

[red folio]

I dunno man. try playing with no volume?

[haughty tulip]

Idk

[naive depot]

"here's my cover, my flanks and my escape routes let's fight"

[haughty tulip]

I know the maps

[naive depot]

play more solo

[haughty tulip]

The game still scares the crap out of em

me

[naive depot]

you'll get used to it eventually

[haughty tulip]

I solo

[hot spear]

Lol, so I guess best bet is just to solo queue until you condition yourself lol

[haughty tulip]

Am I a scared boy?

[bold kernel]

Everytime I get shot at it's a jumpscare

[hot spear]

Dude I am

I have no shame

[haughty tulip]

Dude same

[hot spear]

This game terrifies me

[naive depot]

even if i simply have someone in the call with me it makes me way more relaxed

[ember pendant]

That and learn sounds. Having teammates drowns out a lot of sound cues until you learn to pick them out.

[haughty tulip]

I do not want to die

Yeah as a team you do relax more

I agree

[naive depot]

pay attention to that last one

teammates drown out so many essential noises

[haughty tulip]

But as a team you also don't hear anyone creeping on toy

you*

Or it's harder

[naive depot]

until you get used to it

[modern oyster]

what buttonm is to see extractions again?

[naive depot]

double tap O

[haughty tulip]

Guess I haven't died enough as a team to do so

[naive depot]

another problem is what you hear isn't what your teammates always hear

[ember pendant]

Most people can't pick out ADS / creep walking with a team that is communicating because they don't understand the very subtle sound.

At least when they are new that is.

[naive depot]

people will say "yo we got big gunshots over here" and i didn't hear a single noise

[haughty tulip]

Well I think the problem is when you are with friends you talk

[red folio]

the way I got used to playing this game is treating it like a russian fps darksouls. you will die. so why be afraid

[haughty tulip]

Then you miss some noise you might have heard in total silence

[naive depot]

you have to learn how to put your teammate's noises in the background

and listen for that extra couple steps on the other side of the wall

[ember pendant]

Having teammates is great though for baiting fights.

[haughty tulip]

Oh yeah

[naive depot]

or baiting your teammates

sorry peavy

[haughty tulip]

I baited someone with a survkit

[hot spear]

Just like a true rat

[haughty tulip]

He pushed and my friend shot him in the back

[hot spear]

Left my 2 friends to die just so I can exfil and get the roubles

[haughty tulip]

OP strat

[ember pendant]

I prefer solo play, but teammates really do add some additional spice. Greater chance of them trading down, flanking, or dropping your gear.

[naive depot]

one time peavy got killed on the other side of hole in the wall in oli garage, someone was on top of a container

[haughty tulip]

Bro that ain't ok

I always avenge my friends

[naive depot]

i flanked wall the way around to the back side of the garage and creep walked for like 3 minutes

[haughty tulip]

Or try

[bold kernel]

Bleh

[hot spear]

lol

[naive depot]

popped the dude with some ap20 and he never heard me coming

[cosmic tinsel]

anything more than duos turns into chaos unless you're real disciplined

[naive depot]

keep the player distracted while your boy comes up behind him to bring the pain

[haughty tulip]

Yeah

[tight ember]

do the scav bosses attack normal scav players?

[naive depot]

yep

[red folio]

yes

[haughty tulip]

That's why when you are on a fight against 1 or 2 guys you never stay in the same spot

[ember pendant]

5 mans are hella fun when all 5 people know the map and game well.

You just run over maps but it gets sorta faceroll.

[naive depot]

if one person in the group says they don't know all the callouts prepare for a great time

[haughty tulip]

ahahahhahahah

Ye

[hot spear]

Keep your boy distracted so he can get snuck up on and get killed, then you kill the guy that killed your boy and get 2 free dog tags

[naive depot]

"i got killed from over there" "which store?" "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh to the left of me"

[hot spear]

almost a free ak-74u there

[red folio]

"there he is! I see a guy"

[ember pendant]

Or on wood. "Next to the tree"

[naive depot]

sometimes i have just dreadful callouts

[red folio]

the classic "is that you?"

[naive depot]

bro he's to the left of the big rock how do you not know which one i mean?!

[ember pendant]

Man them adding where you can look at your teammates before you queue got rid of that "is that you?" for me.

[naive depot]

sometimes i don't get a close enough look or i forget

[ember pendant]

Greatest QoL update so far since I started

[naive depot]

or maybe i'm alt tabbed and distracted as hell

😅

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah it helps but also in the time it takes to identify you might be dead

[naive depot]

"is that you?" "is that you?" bang bang bang

[cosmic tinsel]

one of the guys i took to labs got clapped by a raider at point blank assuming it was me 😦

[naive depot]

"bro stop shooting it's me!" "i'm not shooting"

[red folio]

thats why the easiest way to identfy in a fight is to say "lay down"

[ember pendant]

"is that you" is substituted better with " Are you running /ads / reload / pk near (callout)"

[naive depot]

i do that but people still be slow as hell to respond sometimes

[cosmic tinsel]

i also provide updates about where i am if im meaningfully changing position. in this case i'd announced that I was opening garage, and the other guy was no where near garage

[naive depot]

the other day i asked if someone was construction twice they said yes i said i'm coming in and they still killed me

[cosmic tinsel]

which would have been his clue for weapons free

oh no 😦

[naive depot]

i even said construction next to burger

they said they were afk before this on the phone 🤔

[ember pendant]

That's why I'll never be a sherpa. I'm not understanding of people doing things like that.

[cosmic tinsel]

"you mind if i take your gun?"

[red folio]

2 days ago I played with a newer guy, said "I'm running back towards you now" he then proceeded to shoot my legs out

[modern oyster]

idk what to do

[ember pendant]

If I die I feel like my loot is up for grabs. Sure i'd prefer for them to drop it, BUT I'd lost the gear solo 99% of the time.

[modern oyster]

i dont know any extracts

[hot spear]

LOL...

[naive depot]

shoot, loot, scoot

[half quarry]

i accidentally shot my teammate in the top of the head from dorms cause we all had bad callouts

[haughty tulip]

offline gaming

[naive depot]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/images/2/27/2021_Customs_by_PaulRIISK.png/revision/latest?cb=20210202221431

[red folio]

go right

[cosmic tinsel]

i agree, but i always hide my buddy's stuff

[haughty tulip]

There's no shame in offline gaming

[hot spear]

So far I have yet to have a FF incident with my squad, we give updates on our every move.

[ember pendant]

Same, I always drop loot before I loot kills too.

[naive depot]

i can't count how many times i've killed peavy

[half quarry]

lol

[ember pendant]

Get their stuff away from bodies before I loot up my shit and scram.

[red folio]

SRTY is around bus station east of dorms

[cosmic tinsel]

i've nailed ecksdee probably 4 times

[naive depot]

i heal up and repack mags before thinking about loot

cuz i'm waiting for the next players to come third party me

[cosmic tinsel]

i always provide a meta kit to apologize ha

[red folio]

sorry west*

[naive depot]

when i friendly fire someone it makes me feel so terrible

[ember pendant]

Healing is for the scared.

[naive depot]

and then my motivation for the run is just lost

[ember pendant]

Propitol / etg-c will do it passively

[cosmic tinsel]

100%

[naive depot]

and i'm like "ok let's reset this raid is done" on the inside

[cosmic tinsel]

feels worse to TK than to get TKed

[naive depot]

like straight up i'll have no focus and concentration afterwards

dont' even wanna be playing the game anymore when i accidentally TK a teammate

[cosmic tinsel]

its the reason i'm most afraid to sherpa

[ember pendant]

100%, Unless they are just oblivious.

[cosmic tinsel]

i thought I nuked my teammate doing delivery from the past

[ember pendant]

I don't feel bad for killing a distracted or idiotic teammate.

[cosmic tinsel]

turns out i killed the guy that killed him

i wanted to throw up for a second ha

[naive depot]

accidentally TK in a firefight "bro can you drop my gear"

these days unless i'm swearing a slick and an HK i'm just like "don't get yourself killed over it if you have to leave it leave it"

or "use it to survive if you have to"

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

[naive depot]

"four grenades in pockets propital 3 mags in rig go get 'em"

[ember pendant]

Oh beagle, I killed klean yesterday.

[naive depot]

splendid

[ember pendant]

Didn't know his name until today.

Selling that tag though :D. Fuck klean.

[red folio]

lol

[naive depot]

i did a pscav with a guy yesterday who died 60 seconds in to a PMC duo and i wiped them both with a PPSH

my hand is still not healed up enough to be playing tarkov 😅

[cosmic tinsel]

klean taught me the blindfire with flashlight move, hes ok to me 😄

fix yoself!

[naive depot]

gotta wait for it to heal up

do you want to see the incision?

😳

[cosmic tinsel]

i'm an absolute wuss

[red folio]

hit me with it

[cosmic tinsel]

so i will pass, but i want you to feel better

[naive depot]

aight sec

[ember pendant]

Oh yea, hows that doing since you removed the BB?

[cosmic tinsel]

BULLET WOUND?

or air rifle

[naive depot]

i haven't needed pain meds

it's just doing its thing

[ember pendant]

Good shit.

[naive depot]

my left arm is still screwed up

but the bb is out

[naive depot]

co2 bb pistol from 2004

[ember pendant]

MRI inc soon

[red folio]

you'll be fine. I've seen guys that get shot up do fine after a few months

[cosmic tinsel]

oh fair

[naive depot]

sent 😉

[red folio]

oh yeah, it looks like it's healing nicely beagle

[naive depot]

ya that was 3 days after when i took the bandage off

i want to play tarkov so badly!

[red folio]

use a controller like a real man

[ember pendant]

Dear Modmail,

One of your mods is sending me links to join his onlyhands. Please correct this because it's not cool

Love, Peavy.

[naive depot]

rb on my 360 controller doesn't work or i would

[red folio]

oof

[naive depot]

also i can't hold a 360 pad due to the placement of the incision

it's directly underneath my ring finger

[cosmic tinsel]

XD

[naive depot]

otherwise i would

[red folio]

uhhhh, ice it? hahaha

[naive depot]

i already use an analog stick to play tarkov

[cosmic tinsel]

really?

xpadder?

[naive depot]

yep, nope

azeron gamepad

couldn't wasd on a keyboard anymore and found it

[ember pendant]

To save the google search

[cosmic tinsel]

interesting

[naive depot]

but the handrest raises up at the top where my incision is

so i can't quite play comfortably with it

[red folio]

looks like some spiderman high tech web slinger

[naive depot]

if you don't have hand issues or don't play fortnite i wouldn't say get it

but i have been very satisfied with it

[ember pendant]

TBC comes out tomorrow. What about for that?

[bold kernel]

Been a while old friend

[naive depot]

i think it would work decently but i'm too used to keyboard for wow

wouldn't wanna accidentally hit vanish or something you feel me?

[ember pendant]

Hard to vanish on a prot warrior...

[naive depot]

😅 just an example wouldn't wanna accidentally hit shield wall!

[ember pendant]

Ah, that edit. Yea, SW would suck to pop early.

[naive depot]

super long CD in tbc too...

like 30 minutes right?

[ember pendant]

I thought it was 15 mins, but I never warriored.

[naive depot]

good luck friend

[ember pendant]

classic was 30 mins

[cosmic tinsel]

labs tour guides is my new favorite thing

[bold kernel]

Yes I will need in, havent actually been in labs this wipe lol

[cosmic tinsel]

gotta get all the rich players hooked

[naive depot]

i'm hooked but not rich

[ember pendant]

labs is fun occassionally, but it's like factory for me. All the good PVP is in the first 2-5 minutes.

[cosmic tinsel]

i wont be for long

ive been playing labs exclusively, went up 8mil, then lost 6 mil of it

[ember pendant]

The rest of the map is just raider farming and checking loot spawns.

[cosmic tinsel]

i try to just spawn raiders in either garage and then leave

try and make enough to offset a bit of my costs

but i gave away a full keycard set because i realized i didnt actually want to loot

and i'd rather have eksdees squad of lowbies getting loot they're excited about

[ember pendant]

That's the thing. Looting labs is really boring. Feels really consistent outside of colored KC finds.

[bold kernel]

I dont know labs that well thats why I avoid it

[cosmic tinsel]

if you're tryin to shoot dudes i can shoot some dudes with you later

i die 8 times outta 10 but its still a good time

[bold kernel]

I wanna learn labs well for next wipe

[cosmic tinsel]

my best advice is doin the keycard/exfil rotation

it'll get you a feel for the connectors

and also those tend to be where most of the combat happens

[haughty tulip]

one hour for the real gaming to start

ingame hour

[cosmic tinsel]

also - running between the two elevators in the technical level taught me most of what i needed to know

[haughty tulip]

I watch streamers

And altho I have not entered one raid in labs

[modern oyster]

why cant i wear this body armour?

[haughty tulip]

It's enough to learn where and what to do what

[bold kernel]

iTS A RIG

[haughty tulip]

It's armored rig

[bold kernel]

Woah mb caps

[haughty tulip]

Goes in rig slot

[maiden perch]

It’s a vest srty

[haughty tulip]

I see you sneaking

[modern oyster]

oh lmao

[maiden perch]

Remove your rig counts as armor thou

[haughty tulip]

[maiden perch]

All good dude 🧨 reach out for more questions

[bold kernel]

Yeah im at garage and scared lmao

[cosmic tinsel]

your money is spent, time to get weird 😄

[red folio]

has anyone found out if theres a VIT exploit on the mines on woods?

I hear those going off every raid I'm on that map lol

[naive depot]

VIT?

[red folio]

vitality

[cosmic tinsel]

vitality grinding

[naive depot]

oh

[haughty tulip]

That;s just the amount of players who dont know the map

[cosmic tinsel]

i'm not sure it would make sense compared to standing on a fire/near barbed wire

[haughty tulip]

Walking into the mines

[cosmic tinsel]

given how loud those mines are

[bold kernel]

I can't wait to kill a fat player and actually extract with their loot because most of the time after I kill them I die

[haughty tulip]

Barbed wire 10/10

[haughty tulip]

Scav reserve

[red folio]

but does it lvl anything when you blow yourself up?

[haughty tulip]

That's how I've gotten fat loot

Without trying or fighting some times

[ember pendant]

Casual murder is the fun way to loot

[haughty tulip]

casual murder

Just go reserve pmc and hope to spawn on marked room

[ivory field]

I'll have you know that I actually know the map

[haughty tulip]

Everyone merges there

[ivory field]

I just get lost very often cause its allllll TREEEEEES

[naive depot]

oh yeah? name every tree

[haughty tulip]

And you get to loot your kills and other people kills

[red folio]

the trees move. I swear

[haughty tulip]

what

Where are you that are trees

That's woods my guy

[ember pendant]

Tree 1, Tree 2, Tree 3, etc.

[haughty tulip]

[naive depot]

bro i can't tell if he's at tree 35 or 39

[haughty tulip]

ahahahhaa

[ember pendant]

Get good.

[haughty tulip]

Nice callout

[ivory field]

Normally tree 57

[red folio]

git gud*

[haughty tulip]

It's the same as "That rock"

[ivory field]

by unmarked land mines

[haughty tulip]

The rock over there

Or on top of the rock callout

[ivory field]

Sometimes the rock too

[ember pendant]

"baited and outsmarted"

[bold kernel]

Well tree 39 has that gash on the top right of its third branch

[naive depot]

oh you like woods? what's shturman's last name

[ember pendant]

That is his last name

Kojaniy is his first name.

[naive depot]

so you're saying Kojaniy is his first name

[haughty tulip]

There are trees with name imo

[naive depot]

damn you beat me to it

[haughty tulip]

Like the tree you can get on behind dome

The one people use for extract camping

[naive depot]

only callout i need on woods is i don't play woods

[red folio]

and the giving tree near old gas

[haughty tulip]

Yes

[ivory field]

ahh giving tree

got a ks23 there today

[haughty tulip]

same

[naive depot]

ngl i've been doing more long range than short range so i am sorta considering starting to play woods

[ember pendant]

Start with SL mayne

[naive depot]

man

[ember pendant]

Good hybrid of the mall and woods

[naive depot]

what am i gonna do snipe people at resort?

[ivory field]

Customs is best map fight me

[haughty tulip]

Until thermal man m61 you in the head

From 400m away

[ember pendant]

I mean I'd figure you'd take a RSASS, M1A, or something similar.

[rose rock]

Snipe people at highway/pier

[naive depot]

on shoreline i wouldn't be using those

[haughty tulip]

That sounds like extract camping with extra steps

[red folio]

extract camping from far away*

[haughty tulip]

Considering usually that's where people do their mischief

Yes

Wait no

[rose rock]

I mean isnt that the point? Killing at hot spots?

[haughty tulip]

Not extract camping

[naive depot]

shoreline sounds so stressful

[rose rock]

It aint dw

[ember pendant]

Snipe from tunnel to CCP fence for that 1 KM shot bro.

[haughty tulip]

"Free loot delivered to you"

[red folio]

lol peavy

[haughty tulip]

That's just nice people helping you

[naive depot]

i just gotta learn how to get into resort safely then navigate the resort player spawns aaaaaaa

[haughty tulip]

Good luck

The part of "Safely"

[rose rock]

Tarkov prime delivery
Shipping cost: your ammo

[haughty tulip]

It's a bit tricky

[ember pendant]

Just memorize the room numbers. It doesn't take long.

[haughty tulip]

Unless good spawn

[red folio]

I once tried sniping in Tarkov, only to get two guys, then go loot them to get sniped

[modern oyster]

whats this armour thing for?

[ember pendant]

Closer to the middle, smaller the number.

[ivory field]

Side armor for a helmet

[haughty tulip]

Well yes

That's how you outplay snipers

[ivory field]

good money on flea

[naive depot]

fast mt, lzsh, tk fast mt

[haughty tulip]

That's why you cover the spots from where you get sniped from

Or you become to most patient man ever

Patience was what got me out with fat loot that night time reserve raid

[red folio]

naturally, but you cant cover when you have your head down ass up deep in a backpack lol

[haughty tulip]

I got around 4-5 bodies with loot

And killed 2

And somehow made it out without another fight

[ember pendant]

Empty backpack, speed loot, depot loot to save spot, rinse , repeat.

[haughty tulip]

Also no extract camper in D2 at night

[bold kernel]

Ah, So yes you can shoot through managment office

[haughty tulip]

9/10

[bold kernel]

K good to know now

[vivid ember]

for the ice cream cone quest where i must turn in 3 60 round ak mags do they spawn on zb-014 woods?

[red folio]

even most nonpen windows and such still have stray rounds go through

I dont trust it

[ember pendant]

Non-pen windows: Black room on labs, kiba.

[red folio]

I've gotten killed through kiba glass

[haughty tulip]

There are exceptions

[ember pendant]

Recently without them barrel stuffing?

[bold kernel]

You can shoot through kiba

[haughty tulip]

Wait

That's illegal

[bold kernel]

if youre barrel is long enough and press up on glass

[ember pendant]

Yea, but barrel stuffing is a bannable offense 🙂

[bold kernel]

your barrel will go through and you can shoot inside

[haughty tulip]

that's a bug

[red folio]

nice. I didnt know that

[haughty tulip]

not the same

Or a glitch

[red folio]

3-4 years playing this game and I didnt know that lmao

[ember pendant]

Yea, that's the only way you are shooting through kiba or blackroom.

[bold kernel]

I was taunting a guy and it happened to me

😄

[haughty tulip]

lol

[ember pendant]

Clip it and ship it to BSG next time for the juicy bans

[haughty tulip]

Idk if they can ban you for that

[red folio]

you can get banned for a bug/ glitch?

[ember pendant]

I know multiple people that have been.

[haughty tulip]

Hmmm

Then maybe

[red folio]

huh. raiders need to be banned then for phasing through walls and doors

[ember pendant]

I mean, yea you can get banned for glitching.

[haughty tulip]

Well guys

OT

It's the real gaming hours

[thorny phoenix]

you can craft them in hideout

i just crafted them, didint look for them on woods

[ember pendant]

It's like the dudes that fell through the world to speed level str/endurance two wipes ago.

[haughty tulip]

Yes

[thorny phoenix]

that was a thing?

[red folio]

yes

[ember pendant]

Yup. 5-6 raids you could get 1-51 str.

[thorny phoenix]

tell me more

[haughty tulip]

Crafting the items for quest is way easier than going to a raid

[thorny phoenix]

im interested

[ember pendant]

It isn't something you can recreate now with the leveling system since there are DRs.

[vivid ember]

where

[haughty tulip]

Also, who brings a sniper and uses a tan helmet

smh

[red folio]

ahhh.
good ol days, when you could take in raid empty gas cans to fill them

[haughty tulip]

Dead giveaway

You should be able to do it still

[red folio]

the toilet

[haughty tulip]

Random possibility that the gas station has gas in it

[vivid ember]

ok

lvl 2 toilet?

[red folio]

good luck friend

[vivid ember]

lol i need that luck

im at like 2k rubles

[haughty tulip]

scav

[red folio]

run scavs and loot everything

[haughty tulip]

Not everything

Learn what you should be looting first

[red folio]

everything. become the scav

[haughty tulip]

Then fill whatever space you have with anything

Maximize your scav tho

Oh

My time has come

Time for shitshow part 2

[ember pendant]

If you are 2k broke, just extracting with the gearset is a big bonus.

A backpack full of stuff isn't really all that needed. Just something to throw on your PMC and learn the game on him before your scav is back up.

Focusing on loot is a lot of new players downfalls IMO.

[red folio]

that's why I said to loot everything. dont look at it. just grab it

if he's at 2k. anything is money

[ember pendant]

I was more referring to what Dovah said with "Maximize your scav"

[red folio]

ahh

[vivid ember]

what should i bring to an inter stash run? a decent kit or just a big backpack

[ember pendant]

Learning the map (extracts, spawns, etc) and the mechanics of the game is the most important part when you are new if I were teaching you the game.

Rifle (sks+ps) or better, and a decent size bag.

[red folio]

dont take a backpack. grab one off a scav. big rig

[vivid ember]

big rig gotchu

[red folio]

then exit hole in fence

[vivid ember]

gun or pistol

[ember pendant]

Ideally you don't fight scavs on a IC stash run though.

[unreal horizon]

caches are somewhat out of the way of scavs, I'd do a BP, rig, and pistol/sks

[ember pendant]

Excluding scav camp.

[vivid ember]

im too poor for an sks a pistol will do

scav bp or whatever bp

[red folio]

use what you're comfortable with. ammo is what really makes a difference, not really the weapon

[vivid ember]

no no i mean

[red folio]

as long as you can land shots. doesnt matter

[ember pendant]

Bigger bp = bigger profit.

[vivid ember]

how much figting will i expect on a inter stache run?

cause im poor as FUCK

[ember pendant]

1-2 people may do it with you max.

[vivid ember]

max

[ember pendant]

Typically its 0-1 other people though.

[vivid ember]

ill bring a pistol and hope for the best

[ember pendant]

It's late wipe, most IC players are heading into the mall.

[red folio]

may the tarkovian gods bless you

[vivid ember]

tysm

[faint plume]

anyone trying to do some raids with a lvl 3??

[crystal rain]

how many pmcs spawn interchange day

[ember pendant]

10-14

[ember pendant]

May help if you put your region, pref map, and goals.

[chrome needle]

anyone know what the best option for the scav case is?

[red folio]

when every you choose a map it will tell you how many pmcs can spawn with you on the right hand side

[crystal rain]

flea

[ember pendant]

Depends on what you are looking for. Kappa items, moonshine. Profit 85k

[crystal rain]

alr

[faint plume]

Usa, customs is the only one i know so far and im just trying to get some loot

[urban yew]

im trying to farm raiders on reserve, can i get some help preferably a pretty experience player

[chrome needle]

the hideout one

[chrome needle]

i'll try out 85k :D

ty!

[ember pendant]

Assuming you boys don't get bites for help here you can always check out #pvp-lfg , sherpa hub (info in #sherpa-info ) , or joining a beginners assistance channel / 5 man for the map you are looking for.

[haughty tulip]

upgrades people upgrades

Why run svd when you can run someone's m4

[ember pendant]

SVD two shots a lot more consistently with 54R and it has a better MOA.

[vivid ember]

should i wait after spawn until everyone goes into the IC mall on a stash run or just start running around the border looting?

[ember pendant]

Just hit the boarder and start zooming.

[vivid ember]

ok

i hope i wont find anyone cause i aint bringing no armour

[ember pendant]

Not a lot of people push spawns on IC now that summit quit playing the game.

[vivid ember]

do caches spawn food or should i bring a bit

[ember pendant]

They do.

[vivid ember]

ok i hope i get somne

tysm

[haughty tulip]

I mean

Thats all nice but

What about the amount of bullets shot

Plus short range accuracy

[ember pendant]

There are also static food spawns around the outside of the map too. Like in the parking lot next to 21 SR, purple suitcases, small weapon crates.

[vivid ember]

ty

would i have more luck at night?

[haughty tulip]

What are you trying to find

[vivid ember]

cache run

[ember pendant]

Yes and no. Harder to find the stashes without landmarks, but they glow in the moonlight.

[vivid ember]

im incredibly broke

k ill go day i need to save the rubles

tysm

[covert galleon]

oh wait something i started wondering

does gear of scavs differ day and night

[ember pendant]

They typically have more flashlights at night.

[crisp nest]

@ember pendant what is this operator role

[ember pendant]

AI scavs at least. I don't think it hasn't any bearing on your pscav.

[crisp nest]

new role?

[red folio]

yes, for people that are not assholes and help others

[ember pendant]

Honestly I have 0 clue.

I just had it given to me lol

[crisp nest]

nice

[naive depot]

"not assholes" sorry peavy

[red folio]

lmao

[naive depot]

removing operator role

😛

[crisp nest]

L

[ember pendant]

I'm 100% an asshole, so that's fair.

[red folio]

you know what I meant

[ember pendant]

GL bud, I already reported you for the onlyhands link you sent.

Straight to GTB himself.

[naive depot]

😳

[red folio]

oh boy

[haughty tulip]

FUCK

Damn that d2 camper

ahahaha

I got in between 2 the camper and 3 dudes that pushed me

I killed all but one

My moment of glory

[bold kernel]

Can we add more Beginners Assistance voice chats?

[haughty tulip]

You can also have someone here vc with you

[bold kernel]

Who's good with making money? I dont know any money runs

[haughty tulip]

Hmmm

That's a bit more personalized depdning on players

I run reserve for example

I go for raiders

[bold kernel]

as a scav?

[haughty tulip]

And time to time I find free gear everywhere

Pmc and scav

[bold kernel]

Is that the mall map?

[haughty tulip]

That's interchange

[bold kernel]

0h

[haughty tulip]

That's also a good place to make money

But pvp is invitable

inevitable

Same as reserve

I just got in between a camper and 3 dudes who wanted to extract

But some times I get out easy

Interchange stash runs give money safeish

Mall is probable you find other player scavs or pmcs

And as a scav nothing ensures you find good loot

[compact token]

I was running from one guy and fell right into this firing squad

[covert galleon]

i just play woods as a pmc to make money

[haughty tulip]

Now that's plain unlucky

I never go day time

I only night time scav

[covert galleon]

for somereason scav bunker is mostly empty

eveneyones going to sawmill or the 2 other camps on woods

and i usually get like 100k stuff per raid

[haughty tulip]

If you are not making 300k per scav

You probably need to better your looting

100k for 20 minutes of playing is not good when you can do more

[covert galleon]

backbag limitations are a real thing

[haughty tulip]

Get a better bag

[covert galleon]

also im playing with a friend

so we split

[haughty tulip]

Unless you are doing IC then you can't do much about it

Considering that stash runs as a scav there you barely find other scavs

In customs I always get a decent size bp

Because I kill another scav for it

Or find a body with it

The more you risk the more loot you get as well

Don't be afraid of doing rat tactics on your scav

You can kill a fully kitted pmc easy enough if the opportunity arises

That IF you haven't looted anything/there's no much loot

[reef prairie]

customs is great for scavs. always spawns pretty late, so most of the pmcs already left

[crisp nest]

im not kidding but they literally cant

they reached the voice channel limit

of the server

at least thats what a mod told me last month

[crisp nest]

as pmc?

on woods you should be making at least 500k

by going scav bunker/ the camp near it, and village and old saw mill

[bold kernel]

me after shooting someone 10 times with s shot gun and nothing happens

[ember pendant]

Shoot them 10 times in the leg and I bet that changes.

[crisp nest]

because its a shotgun

[ember pendant]

Low pen bullets suck versus armor.

[covert galleon]

ikd but for me a 100k per raid is a fortune enough im too bad at aiming to go anywhere near other players and i laready get the mbss backapck full after just a moment

[compact token]

what the hell
this guy brought a valday vector with 500 rounds of GT

[crisp nest]

troll

[crisp nest]

pretty budget tbh LOL

and epic

[compact token]

a locked door != a clear room

[small cairn]

[covert galleon]

like the games estimate of items i have worth is 5m and i have spent about 50 hours to get it so i get about 100k an hour but thats just because the friend i play with spends 40 minutes organizing inventory and 20 minutes on raid

and all the raids we actually have good stuff with us we are too afraid to use them because we might die

[compact token]

always use the backdoor of KPRL

[covert galleon]

and end up returning without any loot

[compact token]

no one seems to remember it exists

[crisp nest]

if u have a teammate whos competent dont be scared

[covert galleon]

well its the 2 of us who are both newish

we have 1 friend who is more experienced but that person is also the one who goes around with most expensive gear and loses it all the time

[compact token]

that checks out

dude in that clip was lvl40

[crisp nest]

im scared to run meta solo

[haughty tulip]

I thought we discussed this earlier tho

[crisp nest]

but i run it with friends all the time

because yk we have fun even if we die

[haughty tulip]

Being a timmy has nothing to do with lvl

[compact token]

do I just sell this dude's GT vector to mechanic

[reef prairie]

i got hatemail a couple times because im "a high level pussy with shit gear, not worth the ammo they put into me"

[compact token]

oh wait I can just fill it with 6.3 and take it into labs

[crisp nest]

use 7n31

if u have prap 4

[compact token]

100k/mag lul

[haughty tulip]

That's funny

[crisp nest]

no it like 60k

[haughty tulip]

Wow

[crisp nest]

huh

[haughty tulip]

Dont even dare to take ap 6.3

[crisp nest]

i thought it was 1200

[covert galleon]

like hell today i had 2 raids where i was running with a m4a1 with silencer and a scope
and for me that weapon alone was like 1 successful raids worth of stuff so im afraid to use it

[crisp nest]

if it was 1200 id def run onnly 7n

idk then

[haughty tulip]

Sell it

Either sell the guns or use them

[small cairn]

@cosmic tinsel I hid behind the doors in green and I ratted this guy

or crapped him

[crisp nest]

i mean if u have skier 4 m4 might have the cheapest good ammo

[compact token]

I sooo don't want to quest to 40 for 40rnd mp7 mags and ap sx

[haughty tulip]

If you sell them and take something cheaper that helps build confidence

Don't bother having gear you are not going to use

Waste of space

[crisp nest]

me and the experienced dude died on labs

[haughty tulip]

Get something you will use

[unreal horizon]

its all gonna be gone soon anyway 🤷

[crisp nest]

so the new guys all 3 camped the green doors

[small cairn]

🫂

[unreal horizon]

might as well use

[crisp nest]

so the enemy walked in

[small cairn]

Im gonna show u something ervis

xd

[haughty tulip]

Yep

[crisp nest]

he got sprayed by 3 dudes

[haughty tulip]

Lose them and get more

[haughty tulip]

That's how it goes

[small cairn]

You see this? xd

[reef prairie]

some people enjoy hoarding stuff, nothing wrong with that

[compact token]

are we still doing phrasing

[crisp nest]

then the server rolled back after they all got juiced

[haughty tulip]

Fat

THE

[crisp nest]

LOL

[haughty tulip]

Fat

Loot

[crisp nest]

wow

highest ive got is 85kg

[small cairn]

I even gave away some of my loot

[haughty tulip]

Lmao

[crisp nest]

twice but 1 time i died

[small cairn]

I gave away a meta m4, slick and some loose loot

kek

[unreal horizon]

"we are too afraid to use them because we might die" this is a problem though

[reef prairie]

thats true

[crisp nest]

yeah on labs i leave behind like 20kgs of nades from raiders LOL

[reef prairie]

im more like "why even use a slick if i run into m61/m995-squads anyway"

[compact token]

so AP is like 1/5 of the price and 0% of the efficacy on labs

[reef prairie]

but vendoring good stuff hurts

[crisp nest]

yeah

basically

its because 0 recoil

and the flinch

so its ehhh

[compact token]

I should probably just sell the vector and buy an entire MP7 kit with the money

[crisp nest]

but they will take 15 shots to slick i think

[compact token]

FMJ is waaaay more reliable

[crisp nest]

do u have 7n31 not FIR?

[reef prairie]

ap sx destroys

[crisp nest]

if i have 7n from ppl i kill i use it in labs

[compact token]

not 40 yet but very much looking forward to it at 1k/rnd

[haughty tulip]

I don't know any instance besisdes headshot or A LOT of bullets into someone to get a kill with ap 6.3

[compact token]

apparently

[crisp nest]

i think mp7 should have a price increase

[bold kernel]

ap 6.3 is trash your better off using 7n31

[crisp nest]

im fine with ap sx being very good, but 40k then supressor and sight and light is just really cheap

[haughty tulip]

7n31 iss the only thing you should be taking with 9x19

[crisp nest]

for a "meta gun"

[haughty tulip]

Unless you leg/stomach

[bold kernel]

the suppressor is 140k

[crisp nest]

barter

[reef prairie]

mp7a1 with ap sx is my go-to "fun-gun" that can actually kill pretty much anything

[compact token]

yeah good things are cheap at high levels with barters

thats kind of the point

[crisp nest]

no lvl 1 barter LOL

[compact token]

WHAT

[bold kernel]

but if you dont have the barter

[covert galleon]

also something funny that happened today
i was going on woods on the shore close to the border and suddenly i was shot by a player me and my friend wondered for 5 minutes where it came from until my friend found the players who shot me body and that person died to the scav at the border of the map ..... such a stupid thing

[compact token]

oh do you mean the assembled MP7 barter?

[reef prairie]

its 60k!?

[haughty tulip]

Cheaper impossible

[compact token]

that's like 140k for your primary

[haughty tulip]

working lcd is around 9-12k

Lens are what 10?

[crisp nest]

i think 20k

im 99% sure

[bold kernel]

that stuff droped then

[haughty tulip]

Then it went up

Because I sold it cheap af

[crisp nest]

but still much cheaper than the supressor seperately

[compact token]

it's 24

the whole barter is 140k

[crisp nest]
