[mellow matrix]

Guys

So i somehow managed to get myself into a financial pizdec

3k roubles left

xD

What guns should i get

[wary valley]

do scav runs

[mellow matrix]

I will

[minor island]

just use a beretta and good bullets, 4 mags in ur pockets.

[mellow matrix]

But what guns should i use ? Yesterday i had a nicelt modded supressed M4 on Woods and my AIM was on a guys head

For like 3 shots

He was not moving and did not Die somehow

M855a1

[minor island]

ones you wont miss cause that's just online gaming

[barren oasis]

nake run. toz only

[minor island]

no rigs just stick a medkit in ur pouch

[mellow matrix]

Ok will try

Should i run reserve like this with a rig instead of backpack ?

So i can exit at manhole

[minor island]

it's just something to get good at. going in naked with barely anything to defend yourself with

[bold kernel]

Hello, My friend and i just bought the game. The launcher isn't opening up for my friend and we cant play the game.

[balmy isle]

is there a set way to be more efficient with bank space on a standard account?

[hot tree]

Use all the stuff and sell stuff you dont need is the only way

Or was for me

[balmy isle]

so no point in hoarding vests/bullets n meds?

[light jolt]

DUDE

I GOT A 2ND TAIGA MACHETE LOL

[hot tree]

Bullets you can buy from traders I would sell

And some vests space are bigger than the rig

Like the rig uses 8 slots while you can store 12 slots in

[balmy isle]

yea i see with the profit of slots

[tribal rampart]

does the wipe take the money aswell?

[plain shale]

@tribal rampart only thing that`s left is your total game hours.

Everything else resets.

[tribal rampart]

[marsh ravine]

Hey, guys. Have bought EFT a few weeks back to play with a friend. He doesnt play anymore and not interested in helping me out. Is there any chance anybody is willing to show me the ropes?

Or explain how beginners assistance works please?

[vast sandal]

Hey, im not the best at the game or anything, but i also got it recently and got help from a friend, and if you want i could "teach" you what ive already leart

[boreal bane]

if the gun has a higher accuracy or MOA is it better than a lower MOA

[atomic knoll]

Is the easiest way to clear skier's kill 3 PMC with pistol quest on factory?

[hot tree]

Probably if you use a good pistol and ammo

[atomic knoll]

well glock 18c, spray and pray rofl

[cedar gust]

i have a question about a task, i have to kill 5 scavs on woods without body armor that doesnt include a helmet right? i can use a helmet?

[bold kernel]

Just so you guys know I shot somebody with no Armour no helmet and a pistol four times with this thing and I still died

[pure mist]

i don't think so

[pure mist]

shit gun shit ammo

if you hit all limb you can't kill him

or he healed

[plain shale]

@cedar gust You can even use armored tactical rig, like 6B3TM and it still counts as "no armor", so just no body armor.

[cosmic tinsel]

the wiki disagrees with this fwiw "When killing the Scavs you can't be wearing any armor vests or armored chest rigs (helmets are allowed)."

[pure mist]

i was wrong you can use helmet

[cosmic tinsel]

high five, e

[pure mist]

high five

[cosmic tinsel]

the move that i've heard of is bringing a large enough backpack to hold your armor and taking your armor off to shoot a scav, and then re-equipping

[pure mist]

people just ditch in on the ground, kill the scav then pick it back up

[cosmic tinsel]

alternatively i just did it naked with a shotgun and a pocket fulla shells

[pure mist]

i did it with a mosin lmao

was a dumb move

[cosmic tinsel]

i like it

[pure mist]

i got killed once doing it cuz i was so shit

got killed by a shotgun scav

lmao

[hot tree]

Do you have to do it in one go?

Just wondering

[plain shale]

@pure mist so it got fixed 🙂

[pure mist]

no

i did it in 2 raids cuz i was so shit at the game

[cosmic tinsel]

its also hard for new players to really juice the scavs in a raid i think. with time you'll develop rotations to keep finding scav spawns (on woods its just going location to location in a big loop)

its something I struggled with early, at least. i'd show up, see nothing, and leave

[pure mist]

i know most of the spawns now, before i was just wondering around

[hot tree]

I saw 1 scav in my 30 minute something raid

[pure mist]

woods?

[cosmic tinsel]

make sure to keep hitting the same spots

[hot tree]

Yea was helping my friends with jeager quest

Got lost few times

[cosmic tinsel]

they keep spawning over the course of the raid

[hot tree]

Or went in a loop xd

[pure mist]

woods actually really easy to navigate, big ass sniper rock,

[pure mist]

killed 15 scavs on woods once

find them really easily

[cosmic tinsel]

heck yeah. I think i did peacekeeping mission in one go this wipe on most maps

[pure mist]

damn i never do that quest

[cosmic tinsel]

im mostly a quest guy

[bold kernel]

I made alot of money on factory by running around with a knife

[pure mist]

i'm getting kappa next wipe, i prob won't do quests that's now kappa required

[bold kernel]

And looting that safe

[hot tree]

Idk if thats alot of money

[pure mist]

that's very insufficient way to make money

[bold kernel]

It made me 300k

[pure mist]

go customs, at least 600k a run if you know where to go

[bold kernel]

And I got myself some guns

[pure mist]

you can't consistently

[cosmic tinsel]

play the game however you like to have fun, grub, but i'd love to suggest you take a look at stash/cache running customs, shoreline, or IC with an SKS

[hot tree]

Everytime or how much raids

[bold kernel]

Not everytime what the hell lol

[cosmic tinsel]

300k is great for only a knife, but that'd be a weak stash run

[bold kernel]

I'm new so I need the money

[cosmic tinsel]

yah!

[bold kernel]

At least I think I do

[cosmic tinsel]

dude do you to make money. there are ways that I think you'll find are more profitable and more consistent

[pure mist]

most of my stash runs is at least 600k

[cosmic tinsel]

but if you're having fun, keep it rollin my mans

[bold kernel]

I suck at every map

[cosmic tinsel]

the secret ingredient is practice 😄

[bold kernel]

So I just put it in my alpha container

[pure mist]

you risk almost nothing going in with a sks and ps ammo

[bold kernel]

And then just go look for the extract

[pure mist]

also the only way

[bold kernel]

But you risk actually nothing if you go in with a knife

[pure mist]

you going to get killed by a scav and lose all your loot

[unreal horizon]

hatchet running is respectfully, not bussin. It wont really teach you anything about the game

[pure mist]

i would at least bring a pistol

[bold kernel]

I mean I got some of factory learned

[unreal horizon]

always bring something

[small cairn]

Except maaaybe loot routes

[bold kernel]

Iike I recognize the outside of gate 3

That's about it though

[cosmic tinsel]

it takes time 🙂

[bold kernel]

Yea

[small cairn]

u also learn how bad scavs actually are when u run in circles around them with your hatchet xd

[bold kernel]

I got some money by running into the scav ai with shotguns

For some reason they only look up

And can't shoot me

[unreal horizon]

you can barrel stuff them pretty effectively lol

[pure mist]

get over gear fear you'll learn this game a lot quicker and better

[bold kernel]

Hi me and a friend are looking for some help

I just want to try and learn some of the extracts before I go with guns

[unreal horizon]

learn the exits in offline mode, then always bring a gun

[bold kernel]

Do I get to keep my guns if I die

[unreal horizon]

never know what might happen, you can kill anyone without a face shield with a pistol

[pure mist]

yes

[bold kernel]

Oh then I'll do that

[unreal horizon]

no you lose everything except knife, compass, armband, and shit in your container

[bold kernel]

What

[pure mist]

he meant offline

[unreal horizon]

oh mb

offline you keep everything, but you also cant gain anything, its as if the run never happened

[bold kernel]

I cant wait till I'm actually good at the game

[unreal horizon]

but, you can run around stress free in offline and just learn

[bold kernel]

So can I learn most of customs in a few hours if I just sat in offline?

[unreal horizon]

for sure

[bold kernel]

Alright ill start doing that

[pure mist]

i ran 1 offline and i just started playing with map genie

[unreal horizon]

you wont learn player tendencies, but you'll learn points of interest, exits, all that stuff

and yeah make sure you pull up a map

[bold kernel]

I don't like the maps

They aren't for ke

[pure mist]

hard to learn without

[bold kernel]

I'd rather just look at my surroundings and find out where I am

[pure mist]

the stash locations, quest locations.... you can't live without a good map

[bold kernel]

But I do try to use maps sometimes

I lost alot of good loot because I was trying to figure out where I was

On the ma0

And i was looking at the map at the same timd

[pure mist]

if you don't use the map you won't know where to get out

youll lose the loot anyways

[unreal horizon]

learn it well in offline, and you wont need to use the map anymore

[bold kernel]

How do you people without a second monitor use a map?

I have one

[unreal horizon]

I just alt tab

[bold kernel]

But like my game crashes when I tab out

[pure mist]

i do have one but alt tab works fine too

[pure mist]

refresh rate and res

make sure they're the same

[unreal horizon]

i've heard borderless > fullscreen if you're alt tabbing a lot

[bold kernel]

I have a second Monitor as well

So I'm fine

I just wanted to know how it works like that

Does it get annoying mike?

[unreal horizon]

I mean I know all the maps now so I dont need it

[bold kernel]

O wow

[unreal horizon]

not a big deal though, if you're lost just find a bush/corner and crouch

[pure mist]

im pretty decent at playing i still haven't learn reserve lmao

[bold kernel]

I was running around woods with a knife to

[pure mist]

mostly because i'm too lazy and there aren't a lot of quest on reserve

[pure mist]

why not bring a pistol

[bold kernel]

Was hoping to find some dead bodys

And find that camp

[pure mist]

low chance

[bold kernel]

For my quest

[pure mist]

there are quite some loot at the usec camps

i'd bring a pistol and a backpack

[bold kernel]

I don't like how expensive it is for one sling though

Like 14k for a sling

That is alot

[unreal horizon]

i'd always bring a backpack you never know what you might find

[bold kernel]

Yea

[pure mist]

i bring a 120k/200k on flea blackjack

you'll always find a lot of loot

[bold kernel]

Flea blackjack?

[pure mist]

blackjack is 200k on flea

[bold kernel]

What is that

[pure mist]

42 slots backpack

[bold kernel]

can somoene help us?

O

Will I have to pay to heal my character ever

[pure mist]

just bring a scav bp you'll be fine

[unreal horizon]

i'd rather use a pilgrim for 40k, or just get a couch for 100k

[bold kernel]

It's been 0 for a while

[pure mist]

couch kinda too big blackjack hits my sweet spot with the barter

[unreal horizon]

fair enough

[pure mist]

only thing wrong with pilgrim is, other people see it to easily

[unreal horizon]

gotta be careful with the couch, drop it when you fight because it peaks before you

[pure mist]

true that lmao

[cosmic tinsel]

couch and pilgrim have real gameplay liabilities

[unreal horizon]

my argument to that is that when I can see the blue, i'd see a player without a backpack

[bold kernel]

What's the best time you can spawn with as a scav

[cosmic tinsel]

i've definitely spotted nerds in bushes because they had pilgrims on

[pure mist]

day time

[bold kernel]

Also can I ever get more than 10 minutes in my scav runs

[pure mist]

big, bright, makes you look like an idiot when you use it

lol

[pure mist]

chance

[honest brook]

Try reserve I almost always get ~40

[bold kernel]

I always get 10 minutes

[pure mist]

10 mins more than enough if you know where to loot

down to running map, know where the loot spots, watch videos

[bold kernel]

Any maps I should avoid

[pure mist]

labs

[bold kernel]

Y?

[cosmic tinsel]

costs ~300k roubles to get in

[honest brook]

looting anything other than players or raiders as scav
Nah

[pure mist]

unless you love getting destroy by mega chads and pay 300k entrance fee

[bold kernel]

Saw it on welyns video I think

[cosmic tinsel]

its all sweaty gamers

[bold kernel]

Why though

Crazy loot?

[pure mist]

i just go in there to farm raiders

[unreal horizon]

not anymore

[pure mist]

ok loot, you can farm raiders and pvp

[bold kernel]

Oh

[cosmic tinsel]

its effectively a high stakes PVP casino

its possible to come out with a ton of gear, but i mostly lose money there (and have fun)

[unreal horizon]

and like gambling, you do a lot of losing

[pure mist]

if you do make it out alive you mostly get over 800k i get over 1 mil a lot by farming raiders

[bold kernel]

Whattt

[pure mist]

that's where that couch is good for

[honest brook]

Hatchet run labs

[pure mist]

lmao

[bold kernel]

I tried to kill some tachanka helmet guy with a knife

[cosmic tinsel]

you can do similar numbers in reserve

[pure mist]

but, don't go labs til ur really good, or ur too rich want to lose something

[bold kernel]

He took like 15 stabs

[unreal horizon]

we were practically hatchet running yesterday lmao

[cosmic tinsel]

hatchet woulda been better than PMs

[unreal horizon]

probably

one of those scavs had a visor so I hit it 4 times and nothing

[pure mist]

ks 23

[honest brook]

Wait can you offline mode labs?

[strong barn]

tfw when riot helmet stops your PM pistol

[bold kernel]

Heard there was some helmet that made you deaf or something like that

[pure mist]

yes

you still need 1 keycard tho

[honest brook]

Ahhh

[pure mist]

but you won't lose it when you go in (offline)

[cosmic tinsel]

we did a lot of ks-23 and flechette lol

[brisk rain]

@honest brook its a good way to try out guns

[unreal horizon]

santa is the fireteam leader so he gets a cool gun

[strong barn]

theres a few
killa helmet; altyn; ronin helmet and a few others negatively affect your hearing

[honest brook]

Shit imma have to try it

[unreal horizon]

I gotta run that green look more often its rad

[pure mist]

with some of the helmet you can hardly hear gunshots lmao

[cosmic tinsel]

its a good look

[unreal horizon]

aren't really and greener pants tho

the default ones just dont match at all

[bold kernel]

That is a large backpack

Jesus

[unreal horizon]

lol perfect for someone to put all our gear into after we get rolled

[bold kernel]

Some guy shot some gun at me and it made me blind

What was it

[honest brook]

I do appreciate when people bring their own knapsack to put their shit in

[small cairn]

ks-23 "star" rounds

[honest brook]

Star shell shotgun round

[bold kernel]

Are they cheap

[unreal horizon]

iirc that was the raid where we were too scared to shoot eachother so we never shot at all

[bold kernel]

I want them

[small cairn]

if u have the vendor level, yes if u don't, then no

[honest brook]

Cheapish

[bold kernel]

They made me blind for like 20 seconds

[small cairn]

Its only like 2k a bullet, but u can only buy 2 each restock

[jolly isle]

Or there's the flea for like 30k

[pure mist]

it hit you right on your face

[honest brook]

Ye, and a little goes a long way with them

[unreal horizon]

soon we use this

[cosmic tinsel]

o no

[magic umbra]

oh my

[bold kernel]

How rich are you

[unreal horizon]

I am not rich

just a moron with money

[pure mist]

most people are 10 mil +

[bold kernel]

I have 300k

To my name

[unreal horizon]

im at 8 mil because I like to make poor choices and die

[bold kernel]

Why can't I have 8 mil

I would have the best gun

[unreal horizon]

and like lol why money run I dont need anything

[pure mist]

cuz you keep hatchet run and can't make big money

[honest brook]

Based

[unreal horizon]

I can buy whatever I want so who tf cares

[small cairn]

aw yiz

[bold kernel]

It's fun but I'll stop doing it

[cosmic tinsel]

play in the way that is the most fun for you, but keep in mind that most of us have more fun doing non-hatchet stuff 😄

[pure mist]

just learn the stashes on a map, woods, and interchange, or customs, you'll get money in no time, bring a pistol that's enough to kill scavs

[honest brook]

Honestly hatchet running GPU on interchange then scaving reserve for raiders has been my "how to not be bored while making money" thing for awhile

[pure mist]

gpu aren't that worth it anymore, you gotta get outta there alive too

[honest brook]

But at some point you switch the hatchet for ks-23 shrap 10

[pure mist]

@pure marsh

[honest brook]

110k if you die, 350 if you live

[bold kernel]

What pistol should I buy

And what body Armour

[cosmic tinsel]

im a grach guy

[pure mist]

why not get a stable income on customs or something, guarantee 600k if you survive

[pure mist]

i'm a sr1mp guy

sometime pl-15

[cosmic tinsel]

sr1mp just hard for lowbies

[pure mist]

expensive?

[cosmic tinsel]

prapor 3

[pure mist]

ah

[honest brook]

How you gonna pull 600k on a customs run reliably

[cosmic tinsel]

stash run

[pure mist]

stashes + looting

real easy

[honest brook]

You're options are caches, marked and Intel spawn

[pure mist]

i go crack-fortress-old gas-usec-all the stashes near any of those locations

[honest brook]

Caches are random might as well run a better map

[pure mist]

you can pull some serious money without caches on customs

[honest brook]

Like interchange for cache runs, higher per meter cache count

[frosty hill]

Does anyone know the spawn percentages of items or is that a secret only nikita knows? o_o

[pure mist]

there are not buildings to loot near the caches

[pure marsh]

Ah yes. Keep talking

[pure mist]

customs it combines

[cosmic tinsel]

secret that only nikita knows

[pure mist]

show him your collection

[small cairn]

We only know stuff from datamines, but no actual confirmed %

something like that

AFAIK BSG doesn't even confirm whether or not stuff spawns where the wiki says it spawns

[honest brook]

But you would get more caches in the first place. Like customs is a comfort map, but it's super spawn dependant

[pure mist]

anyone who is good at customs, 600k is the bare minimum if you survive

[cosmic tinsel]

i agree with E, but also there are plenty of profitable maps

including interchange and reserve of course

[pure mist]

i believe def more profitable just hitting stashed around interchange

[honest brook]

It's not a question of good or not, you just don't get marked room if you don't spawn there, same with crack

[unreal horizon]

dorms is sorta for player loot rather than marked

[pure mist]

if you don't go into the mall interchange nowhere near as profitable

[honest brook]

Hence my first statement, hatchet run gpu

[cosmic tinsel]

that only works if you spawn closest

otherwise you get nothin but a therapist bill

[pure mist]

lmao

[honest brook]

Nah there are plenty of GPU spawns, but it does help to spawn close yeah

[cosmic tinsel]

i mean any good loot runner has the gpu spawn locations on his route

[pure mist]

btw, people black out hatchetling's legs and spam nades at them

[cosmic tinsel]

there are two players that have first dibs and then everyone else gets scraps

[pure mist]

i ain't letting a hatchetling off a easy death lmao

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly the real reason i recommend stash runs/low impact loot runs is that its 1) consistent, 2) low risk 3) consistent with general tarkov gameplay and 4) builds map awareness

[pure mist]

4. doesn't apply to interchange stashes

[cosmic tinsel]

so i dont disagree at all that IC/rez have more loot, but its also much more challenging for new players to get to

tru tru

but hatchet running doesnt do 1-3, either

[pure mist]

my point

[cosmic tinsel]

people can and should always play the game in the way thats most fun for em

[honest brook]

True

[cosmic tinsel]

but solving for cash/hour isn't always best for lowbies

[pure mist]

you learn a lot of customs by hitting the stashes and looting fortress and other places

good profit +learning map

[cosmic tinsel]

completely agree

honestly even shoreline and IC you're learning the larger frame of the map, and then can fill in the missing pieces as you gain confidence/do quests

i dunno where the stashes are in woods, but presumably its the same

[pure mist]

agree with shoreline, interchange stashes all outside of the mall tho

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, but it'll teach you exfils

show you safe paths to exfils

[pure mist]

true

[cosmic tinsel]

the mall is the hard part, completely agree, but theres still learning

[unreal horizon]

it'll teach you there are no safe paths to exfilss

just zigzag and hope you dont get smoked

[cosmic tinsel]

risk mitigating paths to exfil

😄

[pure mist]

lmfao

[unreal horizon]

hoping > actually checking and being careful

train and saferoom are fine because there are a handful of spots to check but emercom is so open I just pray

emercom needs more cars and shit for cover imo

[cosmic tinsel]

emercom is rough

[pure mist]

i don't even run interchange anymore

[small cairn]

Usually having a gamer chair puts that risk down to 0

[unreal horizon]

interesting

[small cairn]

Having the high ground standing on clouds usually helps too

[balmy isle]

is it possible that reshala can nade his own team?

[unreal horizon]

I guess

[cosmic tinsel]

absolutely

[exotic coral]

I'm trying to do the kill reshala quest for jaegar, any tips for fighting him?

[pure mist]

hes dumb just spray him

try to not fight him at dorms

new gas and fortress a lot easier

[unreal horizon]

I find dorms the easiest lol

just meatgrinder them in the stairs

[pure mist]

sometimes

[exotic coral]

He can spawn old gas?

[pure mist]

mb

[unreal horizon]

depends if he's dumb or not

[pure mist]

new gas

[unreal horizon]

dont think so

[exotic coral]

Oh ok thanks

[unreal horizon]

new gas, fortress, and dorms

new gas roams over to scav checkpoint sometimes

[exotic coral]

Is it 50/50 if he spawns?

[pure mist]

33%

or 32

might be 34

[exotic coral]

oof

[pure mist]

38 actually

mb

[unreal horizon]

wiki has exact % but its in the 30s

[pure mist]

hes really easy to kill btw

i can kill him wearing a rat rig and bt ammo

real easy

[exotic coral]

I've encountered his minions a bunch at dorms doing the room quests, does he spawn and roam about dorms or does he stay in a hallway or something?

[idle tartan]

I love getting instakilled by grenade spam

[pure mist]

vog 25 baby

[idle tartan]

they're f1 spammers

[pure mist]

how do you get nade by f-1?

should be able to run away

[exotic coral]

Before I knew about reshala I thought a hacker was there with the spam lol

[idle tartan]

I didn't run

[ripe birch]

Need someone with skier loyalty 2 for a quest

[idle tartan]

running I'd just get auto spammed instead

I waited in a bush 15 minutes, thought it was finally safe to move

[pure mist]

gunsmith?

[idle tartan]

instantly ran into someone, hid from them, they grenade spammed my position, got lucky

[pure mist]

wait in a bush for 15 minutes won't work

[idle tartan]

yeah it's got to be 30 lmao

[pure mist]

idk how u wait for 15 minutes in a bush

must be boring asf

[idle tartan]

It is boring

but it was that or death

since I had guys all around me

[unreal horizon]

u wont get better sitting in a bush 🤷

[pure mist]

true that

[idle tartan]

you won't get better talking shit lmao

[unreal horizon]

how is that talking shit

im telling you that avoiding pvp wont help you improve at tarkvo

grow up

[pure mist]

facts

[plain shale]

true

[zinc wraith]

I am debating on just running factory on my scav over and over until I can get a kill a raid

[idle tartan]

mate you fucking grow up, or you do is act like a fucking cunt

[pure mist]

need a kill so bad?

[unreal horizon]

❤️

[onyx belfry]

If you sit in a bush waiting for people you are retarted

[zinc wraith]

No I just need to get better lol

[pure mist]

run offline with loads of raiders on labs?

[zinc wraith]

I don't have labs

Like a keycard

[pure mist]

buy a keycard run offline

[plain shale]

Or just ask some people to take you to PvP runs with you.

[idle tartan]

good luck finding anyone nice here

[zinc wraith]

Yeah

I got kicked from a pretty decent help server last night so now I'm alone again

[plain shale]

@zinc wraith what level are you ingame rn?

[zinc wraith]

6

[onyx belfry]

There is nice people here

[unreal horizon]

you seem to be the only one here with a problem

[zinc wraith]

I have only really played for like the past two weeks

But I don't have a whole lot a time mostly just in the afternoons and at night

[pure mist]

play lots and lots, i started 3 month ago now ig i'm better than average player

[zinc wraith]

I have like 24 hours total

[pure mist]

this game's learning curve is steep

[zinc wraith]

I never get a lot of pvp and since i used to always play with other people during my pmc raids I was really carried

[pure mist]

i grew from carrying, learn from the better

[zinc wraith]

Is there a channel where you can find discord servers for help or anything

I'm not sure about this since everything always becomes a five man

[cosmic tinsel]

theres smaller channels

[zinc wraith]

oh ok

[idle tartan]

Yeah those are the best

[zinc wraith]

There is a ton of vcs

[idle tartan]

Find an empty duo and post an lfg advert

[onyx belfry]

Anyone need help on interchange

[idle tartan]

this hurts lmao 318 damage

[marsh ravine]

Anybody care to possibly give me a run down on customs? Doing a task at the moment

[plain shale]

@zinc wraith you just state on #pvp-lfg your region and that you need 1 person to help you with X task or gameplay style or whatever, and wait. You can go either on duo channel or direct comm.

[zinc wraith]

Ok, thanks

Do people actually like kill you and then leave the vc or is that just a super rare occurrence

I heard some people talking about it

[unreal horizon]

rare

[cosmic tinsel]

feels super rare.

[onyx belfry]

Lmai

That actually happens

[cosmic tinsel]

you should always run screen record

also make sure your discord overlay is running in tarkov

[plain shale]

@zinc wraith if you join randoms in game loby 95% will kill you, from this server? No. Never had an issue with intentional team kill on this or any other server in discord.

[pure mist]

my advice still, try to not play with randoms

[zinc wraith]

Yeah randoms in the game is not a good idea

[pure mist]

find a few people you play with regularly

[zinc wraith]

I had a few people but the server owner kicked me so now I have to find new people

[onyx belfry]

I'm looking for more regulars to play with if interested

[plain shale]

@zinc wraith huh? Don`t you have them as friends on Discord?

[zinc wraith]

I friended one of the guys but I didn't get to with any of the others

[pure marsh]

I'm regular but I'm just vibin these days. What's your goals?

[dry belfry]

Regular idiot more like

[terse stag]

What ammo should I use with a mosin

[dry belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/ba-dum-tsss-drum-band-gif-7320811

[pure marsh]

I'll leg you dawg

[cosmic tinsel]

snb is good and cheap

[dry belfry]

I'll stand behind some bullet proof glass

[cosmic tinsel]

if you somehow can afford a mosin but not snb, lps gzh is fine

[frosty hill]

7N1 is also pretty good

[pure marsh]

I know how to shoot through those 🤷

[dry belfry]

So does PAPA

[quasi zodiac]

i prefer 7N1

[cosmic tinsel]

7n1 is 50% more than SNB for less pen

[dry belfry]

inb4 someone says they prefer 7n37

[cosmic tinsel]

it does one tap unarmored targets

which is neat if you're blasting hatchlings a lot

but i don't think its really got a place in the meta RN

[pure marsh]

You mean Puma

[dry belfry]

RIP

It was Puma

[plain shale]

@cosmic tinsel 7N1 onetaps up to lvl 4 armor, and have a small chance to onetap lvl 5. So, best all around ammo.

[unreal horizon]

nope

[strong barn]

If it doesnt 1 tap the tier 5 armor--that armor is seriously damaged so much so that another 7n1 will zero them out with a high probability of penning

[cosmic tinsel]

not since the pmc health buff AFAIK

[unreal horizon]

a chance at 1 tapping lvl 5 < guarenteed 2 tap on 6

[unreal horizon]

this is also true

[quasi zodiac]

when loading a magazine, the first rounds you put in shoot last right?

[cosmic tinsel]

yes

366AP is the new 7n1

[pure marsh]

He's a hoe

[cosmic tinsel]

7n1 performance per vox_e

[unreal horizon]

yikes

[strong barn]

I prefer 7n1 in the mosin due to

• damaging tier 5s to low durability with 1 bullet
• instagibbing thoraxs with tier 4 armor or under
• same story with tier 5 for tier 6 except the chance on the second round that hits penning and killing him being a lower probability

I prefer to damage their armor instead of penning and doing 50 damage to their chest that they can heal; they cant fix their armor midraid leaving them more vulnerable to death after 1 round of 7n1 then SNB
inturn my teammates will have an easier time killing them if they heal because their armor durability is so low after 1 round of 7n1; with SNB their armor durability will be higher after a single round

my thoughts on it

[somber portal]

SNB is 2 for all of those, 88% of the time

[strong barn]

I use the mosin exclusively

[plain shale]

@cosmic tinsel they have 45 AP with 86 dmg. That`s a guaranteed 1 tap on lvl 4 armor, and 10% chance to 1 tap lvl 5.

[strong barn]

and usually play with teammates

[cosmic tinsel]

you're not factoring damage reduction through armor

i showed you field testing

[strong barn]

headshots are fine with 7n1; an altyn is almost ruined if it absords one round

making my teammates jobs easier- same story with their body armor

I realize with SNB I might have gotten the kill

[plain shale]

@cosmic tinsel there is no reduction when you pierce.

[strong barn]

but lets be honest i dont hit every headshot

[somber portal]

There is a reduction when you pierce

[strong barn]

so I prefer the missed headshot to equate to extra armor damage

[strong barn]

There is reduction when you pierce.

[cosmic tinsel]

snb fucks up armor as well

[strong barn]

Not as much as 7N1 if 7N1 is absorbed

SNB will always pen body armor leading to less overall damage to the armor

[cosmic tinsel]

sure, but enough to reduce the efficacy

[unreal horizon]

how is this relevant

[strong barn]

when a round is absorbed the armor uses more of its duability; effectively making it useless to a teammate @unreal horizon

one 7n1 round will make all armor vulnerable to lower pen rounds; aiding my teammates getting the kill
SNB might do the same but they can heal the damage from SNB and retain their armors durabiltiy

[unreal horizon]

snb will pen anything anyway, the dura isnt important to you

[cosmic tinsel]

^

[somber portal]

They're very comparable as far as armor damage anyway

[pure marsh]

My argument against that mindset is instead of one tapping the Chad, you have to get another good shot on target and by that time his homie has already found you

[strong barn]

This is why I run with my teammates; if I hit their head with 7n1 and they live---their helmet or body armor probably cant take another one of them or much more from any of my teammates

[plain shale]

@@cosmic tinsel

[somber portal]

penning =/= 1 tapping

[cosmic tinsel]

completely agree. it will not do 86 dmg

[unreal horizon]

no one is arguing that 45 pen doesnt pen class 4

[pure marsh]

We're arguing the penetration to flesh damage ratio

[strong barn]

except it is--that is what you're failing to see my friend

[pure marsh]

I think. Idk I just like debating

[strong barn]

if you believe armor durability is not important you got something else to worry about dude

[loud summit]

where do u get this from

[pure marsh]

Battle buddy app

[loud summit]

ty ty

[cosmic tinsel]

whats the difference in durability damage

[strong barn]

significant- the equation is on the wiki

[plain shale]

@loud summit Battle Buddy on android.

[loud summit]

also where do i look for group

[cosmic tinsel]

"A penetrating round does a little bit less durability damage to armor than a round that does not penetrate. It varies, but is usually around 10-15% less."

[cosmic tinsel]

#pvp-lfg

[strong barn]

10-15% also happens to be the amount meldonin buffs you in damage resistence--this is significant by anyones standards

[plain shale]

@somber portal so it`s gonna do only 73?

[pure marsh]

I'd rather use high pen ammo for sniping, not only because of the faster velocity but those beautiful one taps

[somber portal]

SNB is, 7N1 is only doing 61

Oh, I forgot to update the bottom one

[strong barn]

Im not a headshot god so Ill give myself more of a chance on the second round with 7n1--this is how I look at it

[cosmic tinsel]

obviously you've thought about what you care about and i'm not going to convince you, but a marginal amount of armor damage is never going to be more important than 2 taps to me

[somber portal]

SNB does more damage to armor 🙂

[radiant perch]

For the spend 5 minutes in a state of dehydration do i need to extract after or can i just lay on the ground dehydrated for 5 mins?

[strong barn]

Very interesting; I still find better overall results with 7n1 in my mosin but its anecdotal in my case

[cosmic tinsel]

i believe you need to extract after - i'd confirm with the wiki. bring water

[somber portal]

You need to survive and extract

[cosmic tinsel]

also bring propital to stave off dehydration damage

[unreal horizon]

you need to extract, but not in the same raid. just bring water tho

[cosmic tinsel]

full disclosure, I was a 7n1 guy before the thorax HP buff

[strong barn]

I use the mosin exclusively; I dont normally get a 2nd chance to hit them before they hide and heal
If i was using an SVD then id be on your side with the SNB because of the firerate being there

[radiant perch]

so i can just take the stuff i need mayo water propital in container run to extraxt without anything if i get there dehydrate wait 5 mins drink water extract?

[unreal horizon]

why not sv98? just curious

[somber portal]

If it helps, SNB has a .3% higher chance to onetap class 4 chest than 7N1 😉

[strong barn]

I think we are agreeing on two different things; for TTK to be minimal SVD + SNB are the choice provided you hit the rounds
However I use the mosin ONLY; I find more use in 7n1 as most enemies hide and heal before I hit them a second time

I believe this is the main difference between our approaches. do you think so?

[cosmic tinsel]

you can do that. you can also extract on a later raid. I usually dehydrate at the beginning, try and extract, and if i fail extract on next

[plain shale]

@somber portal SNB can`t onetap because it does 75dmg...

[cosmic tinsel]

fragment

[radiant perch]

ah so it doesnt matter if i die?

[cosmic tinsel]

nope

[radiant perch]

interesting

[plain shale]

@cosmic tinsel 8% fragment chance?

[vivid ember]

what app/website did you use for that?

[somber portal]

(it also has a significantly higher chance to one tap class 5-6 than 7N1)

[plain shale]

@vivid ember Battle Buddy app for android phones.

[radiant perch]

thx mate

[vivid ember]

tysm

[cosmic tinsel]

if your underlying conditions are true, that makes sense. I absolutely detest bolt actions, so i'm not going to argue with your experience, just the numbers as i see em.

[strong barn]

I may just simp for 7n1 @cosmic tinsel
dont hate me

Number dont lie

[cosmic tinsel]

dude i have a real old soft spot for the round

[strong barn]

cant argue them

more damage relating to armor and flesh from SNB overall so

I will be 7n1 simp and Im ok with it <3

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah - im completely fine with that ofc

[strong barn]

🤣

[cosmic tinsel]

just wanted to not push lowbies to a more expensive ammo

[unreal horizon]

why use mosin though? iirc sv98 is cheaper and better stats. unless you have trigger delay ptsd which is understandable

[strong barn]

@somber portal thank you for your input too and @unreal horizon dropping info too and @cosmic tinsel because he's coolguy.jpg

[somber portal]

toploading XP is handy

[strong barn]

I have a soft spot for it since I played dayz for so many years

[unreal horizon]

nice

tbh i'd use a mosin because the PU scope looks sick

[strong barn]

SV98 looks like its being doing crossfit its whole life; it can cross fuck off
Mosin is sleek; elegant; stood the test of time
and you cant beat good old wood in your hands knowwhatimean @unreal horizon

[pure marsh]

That's what I keep saying. SV-98 is getting fat hated on

[strong barn]

absolutely
I just roasted the shit out of it

[pure mist]

dvlllllllll

[strong barn]

also the PTSD is an underlining cause I choose to not address 🙃

[unreal horizon]

dvl master race

[pure marsh]

Orsis gang

[unreal horizon]

i'll try it ig, this actually looks kinda rad

[plain shale]

But guys, do you all agree that the cheapest way to 1 tap chads in the head is SV-98 with SNB rounds?

[unreal horizon]

I mean you can 1 tap with any gun, but if you're referencing class 6 pen, yeah probably

[plain shale]

@unreal horizon i`m referring to ANY head armor. Including Maska fs

[unreal horizon]

probably then

cant think of anything cheaper

unless you're going for a different type of 1 taps

[pure marsh]

Yes. Share the love

I've never died to a fellow KS user

[unreal horizon]

note that shrap25 is better, this is just about price

[cosmic tinsel]

i have new data that changes my stance on this

spray patterns look pretty similar

[small cairn]

👀

[pure marsh]

Oh yes. My testing

[cosmic tinsel]

yes

[dim orbit]

any EU sherpas available to help me with tasks?

[unreal horizon]

I mean I was using shrap10 yesterday in labs with eksdee, and I 100% wouldve dropped a guy with shrap25

[cosmic tinsel]

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[small cairn]

Only thing dropping is meevo to raiders

[unreal horizon]

I had the sickest ragdoll to a raider nade

[pure marsh]

I'm convinced the spray patterns are exactly the same and that it's luck based

[cosmic tinsel]

i have similar experiences but i cant bear it out in any sort of documentable testing

lemme go do a 30 yard test

[unreal horizon]

this is my super scuffed 30 second test

[cosmic tinsel]

oh baby a live one

[unreal horizon]

thats shooting from the desk btw, just walked up for better view

[cosmic tinsel]

i'll run 4/4 in customs, sec

[somber portal]

I think that's 20ish m, from the desk

[small cairn]

@unreal horizon what we do know tho, is 2 ks-23 with tanker helmets beat giga chad server wiper

[unreal horizon]

Yes

That is in fact true

[pure marsh]

KS23 is an art form

[small cairn]

I wish I had the clip

[pure marsh]

Poetry in motion

[small cairn]

But as the complete monke I am

I run directly towards enemy (freezer/stair area) and I just go into kitchen and start healing

He peaks, sees mike and drops mike. I peak and put him out his misery after Mike did alot of dmg xd

[unreal horizon]

With shrap25 I think I killed that guy but who knows

A lot of shot like that you think you hit but looking back you're just off

[pure marsh]

I played with a dude on reserves and he literally shot between a guys legs with the blam cannon

While the dude was walking down stairs

[unreal horizon]

I've done that countless times it feels bad

[cosmic tinsel]

25/10 - looking similar

standing on the green patch of grass right in front of me, for range

[unreal horizon]

Far left made a smiley face lmao

[cosmic tinsel]

it knows what its about

[vivid ember]

yes

[unreal horizon]

From specific ranges you can probably just aim between legs and it'll bloom out and hit both

[cosmic tinsel]

it might be marginally tighter, but its not a big enough deal that im gonna argue about it - i'll just run shrap 25 regardless

because it makes me FEEL good

[pure marsh]

I always aim at the dick so I can get stomach and both legs

[unreal horizon]

I like to make people mad tho, and people who get shrap10'd are usually much more angry

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, run your fav. the breakpoints are similar, the cones are similar

[unreal horizon]

I've never heard people complain about getting shrap25'd 🤷

[pure marsh]

I had some old salt messages from people after I clapped them. I should have screenshot them 😓

[unreal horizon]

I have a lot of msgs with some serious gamer words

People are weird

[cosmic tinsel]

pls make an album some day

[small cairn]

People never add me

Either I'm not doing toxic enough stuff

Or people see "eksdee" and just assume Im autistic

[pure marsh]

I only try to add people after good fights for the props

[unreal horizon]

When my name used to be "rat_exit_camper" I got a lot of msgs lmfao

[pure marsh]

I'm always like, "You fucked me up bro, that was close"

And I always get a positive response back

[unreal horizon]

It's either "nice spot" or gamer words

[small cairn]

Mine just dont care

Even the one that naded himself

Was just like "yeah man gg, I just didnt grt the angle"

[pure marsh]

"Nice nade"

[bold kernel]

the only words i hear in relation to nades are when my teammates are screaming BAD NADE BAD NADE

after they bounce it off the door way they were trying to throw it through and it inevitably ends up at our feet

[pure marsh]

If they ever make it to where I can kick a grenade back, I'll be happy as hell

[lucid marten]

Hi, im new to Tarkov. Actually it takes ages to get to level 10 for the fleamarket. Any fast ways to level? Thanks

[vivid ember]

quests

[cosmic tinsel]

do quests, kill things, loot things, survive raids 😄

try and avoid pvp as much as you can

[vivid ember]

become a rat

[lucid marten]

hmm

the thing to survive is really hard 😛

[cosmic tinsel]

it is, but it gives you 50% more xp!

[unreal horizon]

Survival gives a 1.5x XP multiplier, so playing safe can help

[lucid marten]

usally guys just jump into to my face and blow me my head of

[unreal horizon]

Just need to learn when to bank what you have, and when to keep going and be risky

That just comes with time

[lucid marten]

heard of it. It takes a lot of time to learn the game

[cosmic tinsel]

absolute ton of time

[lucid marten]

any maps you suggest for beginners?

[hidden fox]

not woods

[unreal horizon]

I always suggest customs for questing, and another map you want for money, maybe interchange?

[cosmic tinsel]

you're not the first person to show up like "uh, this game is hard, right?", but we all survived and got comfortable!

[lucid marten]

yeah i actually played customs the most now.

[unreal horizon]

Perfect

[carmine gust]

Customs for tasks then interchange or reserve for money. Use the scavs for the money runs as much as you can

[lucid marten]

alright thanks a lot guys

[unreal horizon]

Reserve has a lot of high LVL players, I'd scav it, but be careful on PMC, it can be rough

[carmine gust]

This. Do not take a PMC to reserve.

extracts are much harder

[unreal horizon]

Reserve is great for scav runs due to raiders, you can grab valueble gear off them and just leave

Just the other day I yoinked 2 200k rigs that people just left there on the ground

[carmine gust]

Yeah I made 5 mill there over night

[lucid marten]

oh thats wild

[unreal horizon]

It's one of the best maps for money, imo the best but I think you can make money on any map but factory

[lucid marten]

the first time i went there some guy just throw like 10 grenades on me 😄

[carmine gust]

yeah lots of nades there. Raiders have tons.

[lucid marten]

so the ai on reserve are called raiders yeaj?

yeah*

[carmine gust]

Not all of them

[fringe fox]

i dont know if my question belongs here, but im still quite new. yesterday my game started to randomly crash in the loading screens and ive tried many things to fix it but nothing works... anyone know what the problem might be?

[pure marsh]

Reserves is love, reserves is life

[vivid ember]

reserve is scary

[lucid marten]

the whole game is scary

[unreal horizon]

Some are. Raiders are thicc scavs that spawn in controlled circumstances, like d-2 power being hit, the hermetic buzzer being hit, or the armored train arriving

[hidden fox]

nah bro, you go in as a scav, kill 1 or 2 other scavs, grab their shit and run to extract. Survival rate basically 99% and it's easy 120k - 250k each run

[lucid marten]

ah okay

[carmine gust]

You done the standard clear cache? That is pretty much the only thing I know to fix bugs.... Sorry it is not more

[fringe fox]

Everyone that I ask says that and it definetly doesnt work

[unreal horizon]

That's just not a lot of money tbh

[hidden fox]

he just started the game

[unreal horizon]

Anyone can run around and play "loot the dead raiders", it's easy money

[pure marsh]

They also spawn around map room from the get go

[carmine gust]

That is how you scav other maps. Reserve you get raider loot

[hidden fox]

I feel like factory is less risky 🤷‍♂️

[carmine gust]

It's a scav......

[hidden fox]

yeah but who cares how much loot you picked up if you still get killed at the end of the game

[pure marsh]

Factory is the most risky. It's tied with my fastest death in game on Labs

[hidden fox]

going in as a scav in factory and dying is like close to impossible

[pure marsh]

We're playing two totally different games lmao

[cosmic tinsel]

you've clearly never spawned in front of a player in factory lol

[hidden fox]

yeah, spawning in as a PMC is like a death sentence because all the spawns are like 2 inches apart but spawning in as a scav?

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, when you spawn as scav you can spawn in front of people

[hidden fox]

never had that happen

[cosmic tinsel]

here to tell you it stinks

[pure marsh]

How many raids you got?

[hidden fox]

as a scav? definitely more than a 100, not sure about the exact number

[pure marsh]

Luckiest dude in existence

[cosmic tinsel]

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/li3tgh/my_best_factory_speedrun/

ive had a few like this

[hidden fox]

have literally never experienced this

[dark arrow]

lmao i have done that to a player scav who killed a raider and was hiding in the bunker toilet

he was just sitting there i spawned infront of him and killed him

[eternal geode]

everytime i go into a raid the game crashes and this shows up

any suggestions on what to do

[pure marsh]

What's your specs

[unreal horizon]

definitely verify file integrity in the launcher

[eternal geode]

i know its good enough to run

cause ive done it mutiple times before

[eternal geode]

how do i do that

[unreal horizon]

theres a dropdown list beside "online" in the top right

even sbih?

[pure marsh]

You name it, 5 cans of peas

[unreal horizon]

we do guide yes yes

[pure mist]

guide

also the stylish one

lol

[hot tree]

woah stonks some guy was selling gas analyser for 10k while therapist buys them for 13k

[pure mist]

you see that a lot

sometimes is happens with antique axe

[cosmic tinsel]

i do guide for free

i'll pay peas to get people thru guide

ive done it 4-5 times this wipe

i've never said no to it

[pure mist]

the real sherpa

[onyx belfry]

upgrade my stash and traders

[hot tree]

upgrading stash kinda got expensive

for me

[carmine gust]

It only cost me 140 USD......

😦

[hot tree]

how much bonus rep stats do you get with EOD

[carmine gust]

Not sure. It is a lot but I am not resetting to check

[hot tree]

reset

jkjk

[carmine gust]

LOL. Guy on reddit says 0.2

[hot tree]

worth it

[carmine gust]

Honestly that may be even better than the stash.

[hot tree]

ikr 0.2 damn

better than my -0.2 jeager rep

[carmine gust]

Ow that is painful. At least his stuff is more situational. Not being able to get peacekeeper ammo would be worse. I don't even run M4/HK till I can buy 55a1

[hot tree]

if i would get Eod i would do it for the secure container and stash size probably and more stuff ofc

[carmine gust]

Secure is what got me for sure

[hot tree]

i bought the beta container from peacekeeper and it felt veri nice

being able to bring docs Cms and some meds in one go

xd

[carmine gust]

It is huge. Being able to dump my meds and get out something like an AESA is OP

[hot tree]

ikr

also i think you can get free nitro on epic games

ima try it out if i get nitro then it worked ;d

[carmine gust]

Hmmm

[hot tree]

if not i probably got scammed kappa

[carmine gust]

I don't see anything about nitro from buying EOD

[cosmic tinsel]

i don't think thats right

[hot tree]

idk if im allowed to send a epic games link here

[unreal horizon]

that can't possibly be true? try it tho lol i'm curious

[hot tree]

let me send you the link

[carmine gust]

I see 3 months free but that is for all new sign ups.

[hot tree]

ah

i see

[timber osprey]

Can anyone go into reserve with me?

[strong mortar]

I need help selling my twitch rivals arm band

[bold kernel]

Anyone willing to help show me around either Interchange or Reserve?

[cosmic tinsel]

barters! do required search on the item, uncheck exclude bartering offers, and see what they're being listed for

alternatively, filter for item and exclude barters

you can either directly barter for something with your armband, or try and get someone else to give you what you want with it

if you decide to list, i'd look for things that have not been on the market too long - anything with red time left is likely not going to sell

[strong mortar]

I get that part of it, but I would guess someone would pay ~10m for it at least, and the only items I need that would be worth that are a pack of GPUs, thicc case so I can sell my FIR one, etc.

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

its why you may be better off just using yours as cash

to buy something that you like

[strong mortar]

there are 2 listed for a red key and 1 for a thicc case

[grim raven]

LF DUO For any map dont matter still in experienced any1 mind teaching me money runs etc im down bad atm

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly these probably wont happen

[strong mortar]

thats what I'm thinking

[cosmic tinsel]

you could get a green card

ultra med

7 santa hats

[unreal horizon]

join taiga gang

[cosmic tinsel]

or a graphics card

taigas more expensive than that, looks like

i honestly recommend green or ultra med

or just wear the darn thing and show off

[strong mortar]

I already have one 😆

so best idea is to wait and look at the barters people are offering I guess?

versus try to guess and list it myself?

[cosmic tinsel]

you're gonna lose market fee every time you list

so either do something you're real confident in

or use it as currency, as its a common barter currency

[median herald]

Anyone able to walk me through the bronze pocket watch on customs?

[pure marsh]

5 cans of peas brother

[median herald]

What does that mean

[pure marsh]

That's what I charge for questing

[median herald]

Idk where to get peas lol. Iv seen one can but I ate them

[valid junco]

its a joke

[pure marsh]

You ate my peas?
https://c.tenor.com/VIWxOdSDqasAAAAM/no-noo.gif

[median herald]

Yep, downed the whole can

[slow night]

😢

[pure marsh]

Real deal, I'll play with you if you're on later today

I'm basically done with the wipe so 🤷

[median herald]

I'll be on most of the day aside from a few times

[slow night]

you’re never really done with the wipe until your whole stash is full of peas

[pure marsh]

Working on it

[median herald]

Send a pic bro, no way your stash is full of peas

[pure marsh]

Just send me a PM so I can hit you up when I get off work Mr. Bird

[pure mist]

u got a fir one?

[pure marsh]

It's full of KS23s actually

[slow night]

not just peas, coolers of peas to maximize peas

[pure mist]

fir one is worth a green keycard btw

[median herald]

@pure marsh yeah just send me a dm and it will go straight to my phone

[strong mortar]

yeah FIR

[pure mist]

u got it from a scav case?

[strong mortar]

yessir for booze. happened twice this wipe, used one, and just got another today, so im trying to parlay it into 25 GPUs if at all possible

[pure mist]

i would do a keycard trade

[cosmic tinsel]

you're gonna have a hard time finding someone with 25 non-fir gpus

any time i find one in raid i prison pocket it and then sell an FiR one outta my farm

[strong mortar]

for the green yeah? I just dont run labs honestly its only my second wipe. still questing.

[slow night]

all mine are non fir and i have 13 now, interchange loves making me die

[pure mist]

it's my first wipe and im running labs lol

[median herald]

How often do they wipe the servers?

[pure mist]

non fir aren't worth much

[cosmic tinsel]

it took me 4 wipes to get into labs 😄

[cosmic tinsel]

like every 200 days i think

[pure mist]

average 239 days

[unreal horizon]

wen wip

[median herald]

Ok, how long ago was the last one approx.

[unreal horizon]

it was christmas

[median herald]

So we're about a third then

[slow night]

if you wanna run labs a bit later could i tag along? i’m trying to finish the samples task but i’ve died on all my solo labs runs

[unreal horizon]

tldr the eco this wipe got super messed up by bitcoin farming and people progressed super fast and have a ton of money, so people feel we're due for a wipe soon

[pure mist]

why do that quest?

[cosmic tinsel]

bc its fun as heck

[pure mist]

i collect all the stims i don't turn them in

[cosmic tinsel]

you get to quest AND do labs all the time

one of each stim is only worth like 180k

its like nothin to hear that sweet sweet quest complete noise

[unreal horizon]

I dont have the willpower to do samples, I use all the stims and run around like an idiot

[slow night]

idk i’ve already turned in 4/7 so i gots to see it through

[cosmic tinsel]

heck yeah

[strong mortar]

is being a lab rat a thing like could i just whore in a corner and run the green room and get out without a circ du soleil routine turning on exfils?

[cosmic tinsel]

yes

[unreal horizon]

green room will likely be hit. Avoiding pvp on labs? absolutely

[strong mortar]

thats my suspicion where i would have to rush labs and at that rate im in for at least 500k in gear and the card to do it, so no way i get my money out of the key

but if its the only real barter it might be worth a shot

[unreal horizon]

lab rats are more often known as 🦀

[slow night]

i’ve tried it twice afk in a corner but died both times, granted i don’t really know the map well so maybe i was in common corners or something but people seem to rat hunt

[cosmic tinsel]

you basically never do, labs is just fun and nutty and it feels so good to survive

[unreal horizon]

1 good gamer ruins the fun for everyone, lol

we were playing yesterday and this guy wiped the server

[cosmic tinsel]

9 kills

3 squads of 3

[slow night]

sheesh

[strong mortar]

I would honestly rather just drop trade GPUs. like a green key is 14 mil, 25GPUs are 8.75 mil, but i cant barter on the flea for that. so I would totally spend a couple hours running to trade for GPUs

[unreal horizon]

crazy dude

[pure marsh]

Labs is fun and pretty ezpz. The biggest downside is the entry fee

[slow night]

yeah idk if i should just naked my labs runs instead of bringing a fat kit since i’m just going for samples

[cosmic tinsel]

yer gonna have to find a pirate discord then, as that cant be discussed here 😄

[unreal horizon]

probably not? bring enough to keep you alive

bring good ammo and a class 4 rig, about all you need

[pure marsh]

Y'all remember 1.7-1.9 mil GPUs? Only time I played interchange

[slow night]

well since i’m 0/3 already it seems wasting a 600k kit probably isn’t worth when i can just buy 3 keys instead
