whats the best way to get peacekeeper to lvl 2 i only have 1k spent but i need 11k
should i just buy the dollars?
velvet blade
@tawny quartz buy the beige pistol then sell it back to him
will require about 30 pistol buys and sells
you'll lose money in this process tho it's not 100% money back

unreal horizon
I can give some quick tips for pvp
these more apply to close quarters like dorms/resort, but the ideas work anywhere
generally you want to be pushing with your grenades to gain space, and holding angles at head level
try to peak from the left as much as possible, you show less of your body
somber rain
alright
reef prairie
pretty much, i also need tips on just general game sense
its like most other shooters. try to listen which and how many weapons are shooting near you, dont move too slow
unreal horizon
like because your gun's on the right, it peaks a bit before your body
its ok to play sneaky, but you need to know when to stop sneaking and play aggressively
reef prairie
also, try to get a feel for the timing of the maps. where are the spawns, how long does it take until pmcs are at the "hot" areas
unreal horizon
you prob know this but use mapgenie to learn spawns, its pretty good
it will at least give you a reference of where people will be, and where those people will go
somber rain
alright, thanks for the tips

best way to learn pvp is to go out and get in fights

somber rain
are you level 10 yet or no?

np you have 2 methods
firstly is an SKS with 762.39 mm PS bullets, it pens class 3 helmets, so you'll kill most PMCs with a headshot
mighty gust
gtx 1050ti, amd athlon 860k, 16 gb of 2133 ram, loading off a 5400 WD blue with my windows on an ssd
unreal horizon
2nd is leg meta. basically legs have a 1x dmg multiplier, so if you do 440 dmg to the legs, the pmc will die
for this, you're looking for bullets with high flesh dmg, rather than pen, and ideally a fast rate of fire
somber rain
so, i also have no idea how the bullets or gun modifications work

also, would a suppressed ak-105 be good in a factory run
damn im asking too many questions
winter plume
@somber rain 1. Yes that can happen. Flashlights are a good counter in PvP. 2. It happens to the best of us. We lose everything and come back from nothing. Scav runs would be your best bet. Run those and get cheap gear and use that. 3. AK-105 is alright. It really depends on what you like but need to remember everyone is running meta gear this late in the wipe. Its a bit rough to start but the best bet is to jump someone versus head to head at the moment.
reef prairie
apart from rpk and aksu theres not that much of a difference between the 5.45 aks
unreal horizon
this is your ammo selection from lvl 1 prap, sks with ps is strong, and so is a mosin with lps gzh
unfortunately you dont have a ton of options
reef prairie
mosin can be a bit tough for a beginner
gray notch
Also, buckshot is a very cheap and viable option
Getting something like magnum buck or flechettes would be nice but as a beginner a scav shotgun or saiga with 7mm can do the trick
reef prairie
you need jaeger first tho
gray notch
level 1 prapor sells it
reef prairie
the ammo, but not the gun

even then, most scavs carry shotguns and unlocking jaeger is probably one of the first tasks youll do

I know it took many deaths to learn reserve too but reserve didn't cost 200k every time

I mean learning labs is like last priority

labs is cool

well then it is gonna cost you 200k every time

i dont think i want to do a pmc anymore
i need to do the task for prapor but i always get spawncamped
unreal horizon
the only way to progress is playing pmc
gray notch
learning the spawns is a big learning curve but incredibly helpfull
somber rain
so, if i go into customs and spawn near the hot location, im fucked?
like last time?
gray notch
no

If you know the spawns you can act accordingly, not really any super bullshit spawns on customs

somber rain
also, is getting spawn camped normal?
unreal horizon
I got 2 intels 20 seconds into the raid
gray notch
Ye pushing spawns is common
somber rain
damn
gray notch
if people dont know spawns and were u are going to come from its almost free kills
lime willow
most raids, you can expect being shot at 20 seconds into raid
somber rain
and the only good guns i have are two mp5s, an m4a1, and a mosin
and i dont even know if the mosin is good
lime willow
unless you move away from where spawns are, which is an entirely different learning curve
crisp nest
~~crackhouse~~
theres 1 next to the crackhouse stairs
i was afk
came back
then i was like mmm free intel
but my intel luck is like 1 per 5 runs
sucks
somber rain
what does intel do
gray notch
big bucks
lime willow
intel folder is a mid-late game "currency"
crisp nest
wiki it
somber rain
oh, i have an intel folder in my stash
gray notch
its used for intel centre and scav case
somber rain
what do i do with it
gray notch
keep it for intel centre
lime willow
keep it till when you can use it really
somber rain
what is intel centre
lime willow
its needed to build stuff
gray notch
hideout module
lime willow
gives extra quest money and lowers scav cooldown
somber rain
ok
gray notch
lower flea fee aswell
lime willow
at lv2 and lv3, you can make stuff at it
somber rain
even your hideout
lime willow
everyone restart to day 0
gray notch
Its a fresh start for everybody

that's the irony
only people who don't have it have any use for it

somber rain
because they're so beefed up on loot?

honestly you'll find ways to manage your loot so that you end up positive even on PMC
crisp nest

somber rain
got three minutes left on my scav cooldown
somber rain
also, judging by what i've been reading and the info i've been gaining from you guys, i can assume that tarkov is an extremely detailed game?
cosmic tinsel
oh yeah
compact token
oh okay that war I heard at black was actually at green
I count 3 bodies from here
gray notch
map knowlegde (90%), muscle memory, feel for gunplay, and general knowledge all adds up @somber rain
crisp nest
this'll take a while for me to start getting good
ehh doesnt take that long
same as most games
500 hours and you wont be a beginner anymore
somber rain
im sorry, did you say 500 hours?
somber rain
yeaah, im done
gray notch
500 is when u have most general knowledge i would say, feel for guns and muscle memory comes at like 1000
somber rain
im just gonna play a scav
gray notch
for me at least
unreal horizon
i agree w/ those numbers
crisp nest
500 is when u have most general knowledge i would say, feel for guns and muscle ...

The last wipe occurred on Dec 24, 2020. The date of the next wipe is unknown.
gray notch
its when there has been significant changes
somber rain
oh damn, i joined tarkov late then
somber rain
that explains why everything is so hard
anyways, im going to try another pmc on customs

should i run an m4a1, an mp5, or a SA-58 on this next pmc?
as long as it kills scavs
avoid pmcs
cosmic tinsel
should i run an m4a1, an mp5, or a SA-58 on this next pmc?
honestly you're new, it wont matter much. run cheap stuff and go nuts
somber rain
would an aks-74u with dogshit rounds in it be considered cheap?
cosmic tinsel
if you're running anything thats not BT, BS, or igolnik, you wont kill anything XD
somber rain
ok
cosmic tinsel
but headshots are headshots

pretty sure I basically broke even on that run oof

ok, i bought to cobra shade and the cobra sight
compact token
there was that dude who vendored his stash to buy labs cards and ran only labs
gray notch
The current state of labs the the failed abortion of tarkov
compact token
nah
labs is visually thematic as hell and excellent from a design perspective
the exfils are abundant and not 500km from their power switches
the loot rooms are central and contested
somber rain
what does the cobra shade do exactly?
gray notch
too bad all the players w keying tier 4 armor hk gamres
small cairn
what does the cobra shade do exactly?
Gives you free ergo essentially
somber rain
huh
unreal horizon
the exfils are abundant and not 500km from their power switches
i prefer maps with 2 exfils, for not camping of course

i prefer maps with 2 exfils, for not camping of course

should i put it on my cobra sight?

gear isnt money tho @crisp nest

but i use money to play labs
so if i can get gear
i dont lose money in labs
the loose loot pays off the card
rough scarab
should i put it on my cobra sight?
it gives like +1 ergo so doesnt hurt
compact token
it gives like +1 ergo so doesnt hurt
it's +3 and the cobra is -2, so it basically converts the cobra to +1 instead
cosmic tinsel
i play labs, so i can kill chads, so i can loot stims, so i can do more labs

is this a good M4A1 loadout?

you need a headset
compact token

unreal horizon
and a facecover
somber rain
what does that do?
compact token
lets you hear people
somber rain
that would be very helpful
compact token
also dampens sharp noises like gunshots and grenades so you can turn your volume up more without deafening yourself
unreal horizon
headset > armor
somber rain
so i put on a headset and a face covr
bold kernel
headset for sure is the most help
if you're not running anything that m32 headset should be a priority at the very least gsshes
somber rain
alright
so i put on a razor headset and a respirator face cover, what else could be helpful
bold kernel
why a respirator
somber rain
i was told that putting on a face cover was good, and that was the only one i had
soo
bold kernel
yeah balaclava is for sure a contender
compact token
is there any better feeling than spawning on a map and knowing where you are for the first time
somber rain
i have acquired and put on the balaclava
bold kernel
Nice
somber rain
is there any other useful gear?
bold kernel
Gun, armor helmet with high ricochet chance sone kind of face cover rig if youre not using an armored rig
somber rain
what does the rig do?
bold kernel
Carries magazines
unreal horizon
little bit of room for loot
bold kernel
Items too so it can act as a storage case for small items
somber rain
also, how many mags should i carry?
bold kernel
Subjective
somber rain
im just going to kill scavs as pmc in customs
bold kernel
I carry over 100 shots unless its something like an sks then i just carry a stack of ammo in my pocket
somber rain
ok

If its just scavs aim head and conserve ammo

there were literally 0 items in green
i'm very glad I traded my thicc case for this

i know its not necessarily good, but is it good for what i can do at this point?

I was excited to see it locked but then it was also empty
cosmic tinsel
i know its not necessarily good, but is it good for what i can do at this point?
you're gonna want 1-2 esmarch tourniquets, a splint, and 1-3 bandages
there are all in one healing items that make life easier when you progress
honestly maybe just one of each
but you really dont want to bleed out
maybe a painkiller in the alpha?
