[mossy ravine]

have you just been staring at your stash for 43 hours

[wide solar]

idk 30 of those hours are me dying every run

[somber rain]

LETS FUCKIBNGT GOOO BOIS

I KILLED MY FIRST PMNC

AND EXTRACTED

IM SO FUCKING HAPPY

[unreal horizon]

noice!

[somber rain]

and he was a level 48

[dry belfry]

Watching him grow up right before our eyes

[somber rain]

yall have honestly helped me in this

[quiet shore]

to be honest i always run factory

[somber rain]

yeah i just ran factory

[quiet shore]

for easy extraction

[somber rain]

the funny thing is

i spawn in and hear him running

[quiet shore]

ik

[somber rain]

and i crouch and wait

[quiet shore]

its th ebest feeling

[somber rain]

i see his barrel poking on the left side of my screen

and i look at him

and he looks at me

[quiet shore]

ik spawns are kinda ass ngl

[somber rain]

and i blast him in the forehead with a shotgun

[hollow minnow]

Its factory

[unreal horizon]

They grow up so fast

[hollow minnow]

Spawns are meant to be shit

[naive depot]

he got his first hit

[hollow minnow]

Mike

[naive depot]

now he's gotta chase the gear dragon

[hollow minnow]

Whyd they take your OP

[unreal horizon]

Blu gone

[hollow minnow]

[somber rain]

how do i get fuel

for generator

[hollow minnow]

Go to oli

Or trade from Jaeger

[wide solar]

factory and interchange are my fav maps

so easy to extarct

[somber rain]

im not gonna go through the trouble of getting the stuff for the fuel from jaeger

thats impossible

[somber rain]

what is this gear dragon, that you so speak of

[naive depot]

the feeling of finding sick gear on a kill and needing to find better and better gear to get that rush

[somber rain]

huh

[wide solar]

i found a dead guy with a meta m4 but i got extract camped

[little walrus]

thats tragic bro

[somber rain]

lmao just got blown up by a mine

feels good

[wide solar]

holy shit i just wiped a 2 man on factory

yess i got 3k xp

wait it was a 3 man

[covert venture]

oon shoreline i spawned in next to a big rock any idea where i am

[wide solar]

there are alot of big rocks

[vapid pagoda]

Take me back to when I got a 5 man on Customs and then hit a barbed wire and died 😖

[somber rain]

fuck this game

fuck the people that play it

i spawn in on factory

get killed in 22 seconds

spawn in again

[wide solar]

just get good

[somber rain]

spawn at the same dog shit location in the hallway and die to a grenade because someone spawns 15m to my left

[little walrus]

Don’t u love 10 min ques

[wide solar]

change region

[somber rain]

changing my region will change my spawn locations, huh?

[wide solar]

no im talking to the other guy

[static jay]

What's a safe map to scav? And also what am I supposed to do with scav? It feels like there's hardly anything worthwhile left in the raid by the time you're in

Do you just pick up small knick knacks and sell what you can?

[spiral mulch]

Pretty much, also consider that PMC's leave quite a lot of stuff behind, especially in the less traversed areas

[wide solar]

HOLY SHIT I JUST FOUND A 220K KEY

[static jay]

Gotta start learning what the less traversed areas are then lol

[spiral mulch]

That's fair, start with a map that you're familiar with?

[static jay]

I've only really played customs and interchange.

only level 5 rn I think

[spiral mulch]

Personally, I do either Woods or Customs. Usually night for Customs, as less PScavs tend to go that time

[static jay]

Gotcha

[spiral mulch]

Yeah, however it is a chore and a skill to do night raids with only a flashlight

Whether you're a PMC or Scav

[wide solar]

how do i store more keys in my alpha container

[pale echo]

is there any chat for lfg group

[static jay]

#pvp-lfg

?

[vapid pagoda]

Get a docs case

[wide solar]

how

and how much does it cost

[vapid pagoda]

Looted from marked room 😉

[spiral mulch]

Using a keytool or docs case

However, Keytools only store keys

[vapid pagoda]

Idk how much docs is on Flea but you can’t afford the keytool

[wide solar]

i have 2mil is that enough

[spiral mulch]

That is enough, but I'd personally advise using the docs case instead

You'll be able to store keys, as well as money, GP coins, diaries, SSD's, Flash Drive, etc

[wide solar]

oh wow

but how much slots does it take

and since im level 5 how do i get it

[spiral mulch]

Indeed, or a SICC Case has a different array of items you can put in it (including keys), so it depends on what you want and how you want to store stuff

Oh...

That may be complicated

You'll have to either find it somewhere, or level up to level 10 to get access to Flea Market

The latter is difficult, thus it is recommended that you do quests as much as possible

[wide solar]

damn

[spiral mulch]

It's an easy way to gain a ton of Exp

[somber rain]

lets go bois

i hit level `10

i have flea

tf do i do now

[spiral mulch]

What do you usually store in your case? If it's keys and money, you may want to consider picking up a docs case

[wide solar]

bru how you hit lvl 10

[somber rain]

case?

[wide solar]

how much playtime do you have

[somber rain]

38h

[wide solar]

bruh im doing something wrong

im lvl 5 and 50 hours playtime

[dry belfry]

That also includes menu time

btw

So, you definitely still suck, just not as much as you originally thought

[spiral mulch]

Oh shit, TIL that I can stash away entire Intel Folders into Docs Cases

But yes, it's a good way of holding keys and being able to collect things you run into during your raid that fits in that category

Also FYI, if you haven't gotten your hideout going, there should be a point where you can build the Intelligence Center for just a single Folder with Intelligence. Considering it increases quest payouts, as well as decreases Scav cooldown, it may be ideal to get it

[wide solar]

please help me im stuck in factory and i dont know where gate 3 is

pls

[spiral mulch]

Will you be able to stream?

I can hop into a duos voice channel and try to help you out of factory

[wide solar]

its fine now i found it

i watched a tutorial

[spiral mulch]

Nice!

Also, may want to keep this in handy:
https://mapgenie.io/tarkov

[somber rain]

can i not add offers in the flea?

[spiral mulch]

Nice, you found a can of squash!

[wide solar]

i know its pretty bad

[dry belfry]

You should be able to add 3 right now

[spiral mulch]

I noticed that cause they're worth like 17k+ roubles, and I've been looking for them in raid forever

Plus need them to craft the canned meat for general wares, since I keep getting capped anytime I try to get it in raid

[midnight lichen]

does anyone know what kind of hand rail a vepr KM/VPC-136 ak needs to attach a klesch flashlight and or tbl?

[wide solar]

you want the squash?

[spiral mulch]

Nah, no worries

[wide solar]

idk what i can do with it

[spiral mulch]

Hmm, what do you want for it though?

[wide solar]

maybe a gun

[spiral mulch]

What kind of gun?

[wide solar]

idk a good one

[spiral mulch]

Hmm, let me see what I have that would be a fair price for the two cans

[wide solar]

kk

how do i even trade the loot

[spiral mulch]

Shit, I just realized can't trade through friends list. Would have to do it in raid, and probably not the best idea tbh

[wide solar]

ok

is this unlimited?

[spiral mulch]

Peacekeeper sells that at Loyalty Level II

Nvm

It's LL1 actually

[supple prawn]

is an RFB with M80 considered a decent investment for kinda cheap? usually im around about a million roubles but idk what a good investment is for majority level 2-3 traders. Im thinking that having a good kit will help me survive longer even though im pretty bad at times

[spiral mulch]

But it's worth like 2500 Roubles, approximately from him

[dry belfry]

Anything M80 is a great value

[spiral mulch]

Keep in mind, those stop heavy bleeding

[wide solar]

only once?

[dry belfry]

Though, if you start winning fights and making money, switch to M1As or SR-25s

[spiral mulch]

Yes, and they do it faster than the Esmarches do

[wide solar]

alr

i also noticed im getting the same extracts everytime

is it a part of the game?

[supple prawn]

is there a decent automatic gun i can use? single fire is good and all but its a bit easier to hit shots with auto. I definitely use a lot of RFBs though. Only reason im not atm is because im running into dorms for the safes to get some flash drives.

[wide solar]

mp5

[supple prawn]

true!

[dry belfry]

Don't use an mp5 lol

[wide solar]

its pretty good

[supple prawn]

i actually do kinda decent with an ump ngl

but that was probably just luck lol

[dry belfry]

At this point of the wipe, especially in dorms, you'll need to run a high pen ammo like M855a1/Mpp5 or M61 or M62 or BP

So really, what automatic gun you want to use depends on how much money you want to spend and what traders you have access to

[wide solar]

look at the beam

[supple prawn]

my tactical sense is also kinda off despite knowing a decent idea of hot and cold zones on customs

[grave valve]

hipfiring and spraying someones face with ap 6.3 is real ez in dorms

[supple prawn]

and i should probably not be bringing grizzlies in my beta case 😅 i got screwed by not having a CMS earlier

[dry belfry]

Definitely not

[grave valve]

yea thats a no go

[supple prawn]

i think it might do me some good to run in a group with a more experienced player just to see what i need to work on and stuff

plus my laptop is choking on tarkov recently for some reason so stutters are pretty bad

[grave valve]

dont left peek, or slow lean/crouch peek

[dry belfry]

Running with a Sherpa would be a good experience for sure

[supple prawn]

ill see what i can do :)

[dry belfry]

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[wide solar]

how much is the factory key exit on flea market?

[grave valve]

60k

[wide solar]

and rb-ksm?

[grave valve]

idk prolly around the same

[supple prawn]

im pretty sure a pp 19 isnt good for dorms. should i invest more into a better gun or go for the cheap in case i die? i have almost every trader at level 2 with prapor, therapist and i think ragman at level 3.

[grave valve]

pp-19 is trash

its only got like a 650 rpm

go with an mp5/mpx

[wide solar]

mp5 is rlly good

but i cant mod it cuz im lvl 5

[supple prawn]

the ump is easier to get in terms of barter trade tho 😅

slow rpm tho

[grave valve]

yea like 600 rpm lol

[supple prawn]

ill try mp5 then

what ammo?

[grave valve]

ap 6.3 if u can afford it

[supple prawn]

ill see

[grave valve]

shreds visors, but pst gzh which is the next best doesnt do so good, quite a big pen difference

but its cheap af

[supple prawn]

ap is a bit out of my price range. 100k per run means id be out of money quick

[grave valve]

maybe just your first mag or 2 then, and the rest pst gzh

[supple prawn]

gotcha

[barren oasis]

Honestly leg meta

[grave valve]

what is it on flea? like 1k per bullet?

[supple prawn]

ya about

like 1.2 if i remember

[grave valve]

yea you could do magnum in a mp153

[barren oasis]

get a glock c full of rip

[grave valve]

no dont do that lol

[supple prawn]

why not quake maker in that case xD

[grave valve]

@wide solar ksm is 40k

[covert venture]

can someone help me

i am stuck in woods and i dont no how where to extract

ihave good weapons

nvm i died

[wide solar]

rip

[covert venture]

i was at car and someone was camping

[wide solar]

i dont play woods cuz of land mines

[covert venture]

:{

[static jay]

I'm level 6 right now. I have scavenged an mp5. Will I be able to use it well enough right now with what's available to me? Or should I wait until I have better ammo available??

[wide solar]

anything i need to add?

[grave valve]

i pretty much only play factory, customs and labs

[static jay]

Armor

[grave valve]

idk woods almost at all since the expansion

heavy bleed

get esmarch or something

[wide solar]

the ifak heals heavy bleeds

[static jay]

oh wait u have an armor rig lol

[wide solar]

yeah its lvl 4

[static jay]

it does?

[grave valve]

yea but it take almost the whole ifak to do it

[static jay]

o

[wide solar]

oh dam

[grave valve]

look at the hp cost to heal it when you inspect the ifak

[wide solar]

ok i got 2 esmarchs

[grave valve]

there ya go

[wide solar]

is that a good kit for factory

[grave valve]

what are going to factory for?

[wide solar]

to get xp

[grave valve]

i dont advise that unless ur gonna rat til the pmc's are gone and then farm scavs

[supple prawn]

i think you'd be better off doing quests but dont take my advice im not a sherpa

[wide solar]

no i push anything i hear

[grave valve]

even then, no faceshield with all those shotguns lol

[wide solar]

ok ill do interchange

[grave valve]

theres a shitload of ppl runnin ks23's on factory rn

[wide solar]

ill just walk around interchange and look for staashes

[grave valve]

ur still not lvl 10 yet right?

[static jay]

pulling up on factory now with a saiga I found

[grave valve]

best xp low lvl is just pistol running quests, avoiding pvp

[static jay]

are buckshot not worth using all that much? Every player I came across with a shotgun uses slugs

[wide solar]

scavs carry slugs cuz idk

[grave valve]

prolly a lot of ppl needing to run slugs for quests

[static jay]

Oh

[grave valve]

only good slug ap20, if it has to pen anything ap20's gonna be the only one that can

its cheap enough this late into the wipe too

[wide solar]

hmm

[grave valve]

1 taps lvl 4 armor

to the thorax

[wide solar]

some dude told me flechette are the best

[grave valve]

flechette dont pen, they shred the armor durability, so similar to buckshot it does a lot of blunt dmg at first

[supple prawn]

funny how slugs have lower penn for the cheaper ones. I'd assume a massive bullet would have pretty good penetration but idk how slug rounds work so i wouldnt know lol

[grave valve]

but flechette is good as far as shotty rounds go

[wide solar]

welp i cant buy any of the good armors cuz i dont have any dealer lvled up

[supple prawn]

do quests for sure

that's one piece of advice im pretty confident about. Questing is best early on unless ur dry on money in which case scav runs can help

[grave valve]

go to the wiki and start doing what quests you need to unlock peacekeeper and jaeger

lvl 4 traders op

[supple prawn]

yes dont be like me and wait till ur in the 20s of levels to unlock jaegar lmao

[wide solar]

bro i cant navigate the big maps

idk how i can do it

[supple prawn]

woods is mega scary cause of the lack of noticeable landmarks

[grave valve]

go in offline and practice

[supple prawn]

scav running helps a little too in my experience. it helps you learn a little bit of the map like in woods you get the edges a bit better

[wide solar]

im scared of landmines

[supple prawn]

everyone learns different tho so find the best method for u :> anyways imma be quiet im not the sherpa

[grave valve]

theres signs for the landmines lol

and careful when you spawn too

cuz the game can and will spawn you facing the minefield on the west edge of the map lol

[wide solar]

that happened to me

[grave valve]

welcome to tarkov xD

[supple prawn]

this is a silly semi-rhetorical question but at the moment is reserve worth learning if i know interchange?

[grave valve]

loot everywhere

even without keys

should learn all the maps honestly

even if you hate em lol, i dont like most of em i only play factory/labs/customs outside of questing

[supple prawn]

yo i didnt die to a random scav on factory :p im proud of myself now

anyways

[grave valve]

that buckshot will surprise you sometimes lol

[supple prawn]

i did a scav run and got a kill with a vss

lucky headshot for sure

[grave valve]

i like spawning with a vss early wipe and killing any pmc's still left lol, sp5 early wipe is pog

i cant wait for factory expansion, i hope it breathes some life back into factory liek the old days

chad warzone for the first 2 mins lol

[dark dagger]

good job

[rose rock]

i honestly hope it keeps the pvp area, but also one where i can fuck around without getting doinked in speedrun

[dark dagger]

i hope it keeps the pvp, but also making it worthwhile to run for loot. i also wanna get kuvaldas armor and helmet xD

[grave valve]

im curious if the saiga is gonna be the only gun he spawns with, and if he will spawn with btc's/keycards like other bosses

[rose rock]

hey i just wanna stop speedrunning factory

also think its worth selling as is? got another three and gotta clear weapon space

[dark dagger]

naa keep it

MP7’s are pretty powerful

[grave valve]

do you have access to trader apsx?

[rose rock]

which one is that again?

[grave valve]

ap sx is the best ammo for it

then fmj sx

[rose rock]

the trader

xd

[dark dagger]

13 less penetration, but 8 more flesh damage

[rose rock]

aito dope, thx

[dark dagger]

np

[supple prawn]

i see why ap 6.3 is powerful now

scav wouldnt have dropped in 3 shots otherwise

[rose rock]

think im gonna ditch the silencers off of the mp7s since im going indoors

[grave valve]

ap 6.3 deletes visors as long as its not an altyn

[rose rock]

^

that and its good enough for farming raiders

out of all the time i did, only 1 had a slick and i had headshot him by recoil

[grave valve]

the silencers help with recoil on the mp7

[rose rock]

49 to 43

will see if i notice much

[grave valve]

its the initial jump where youll notice it

[dark dagger]

when the pewpew is needed

[grave valve]

i got an ammo box and half full of ap 6.3 and a wep case full of mpx/mp5/vectors lol

[rose rock]

there is some, but kick goes to head faster then centers back at the same rate-ish

[grave valve]

i never build up mad money but i always got crazy amounts of gear

[rose rock]

thats from my 4 runs in the shooting range, in the field i got no idea xd

[wide solar]

dayum

[rose rock]

top ones are basically throphies i got from other players

except the two m4s

[grave valve]

3

[wide solar]

factory scav run

[rose rock]

nice :D

[grave valve]

lvndaFilter

lvndmafilter* lol

[wide solar]

i think some dude disconnected in gate 3 and i got his loot

idk how i will fit all this in my stash

[rose rock]

with enough tetris

[grave valve]

vendor all of it except the filter and paracord

[static tapir]

lol whats gate 3

[grave valve]

gate 3 is an extract on factory

[static tapir]

oh

[dark dagger]

when i kill someone i usually run their gear so I dont lose mine xd

[rose rock]

yeah i usually bring stuff i dont mind losing but is competent enough to kill

[grave valve]

i use my scav early wipe to make money to fund my kits whether its a budget kit or chad loadout

[rose rock]

the mp5sd/vepr 7.62x39, the sorts

[grave valve]

so i can use the guns/armor i want or that im used to

[rose rock]

also how easy is it to do shooter born in heaven in early wipe compared to late wipe?

only got a kill so far and it was by accident xd

[grave valve]

i only quest to help me get lvl 4 traders and lvl up, after that i stop completely lol

so i cant say from experience

[rose rock]

aite fairs

[grave valve]

i dont have the time to go for kappa so trying sbih is pointless for me

[rose rock]

yeah i took it as a chance to try a new playstyle

i call it the photosynthesis

[wide solar]

my playstyle is rushing anything i hear or see

[grave valve]

thats pretty much what i do too

[wide solar]

it works 90% of the time

[rose rock]

yeah i did that too, but the photosytheis is great, people literally run to me and i tap them

[wide solar]

they just dont expect it

[rose rock]

just laying down and not moving is amazing

[wide solar]

i tried that once and a gang of scavs pulled up

[rose rock]

yeah the place i stay no scav goes near me

its jsut players running around

[wide solar]

btw should i sell all my stuff in stash except the guns i like

cuz ive got no space

[grave valve]

sell whatever you dont need for quests or gear you want to keep

[wide solar]

what do i need for quests

i havent done any quests btw

[grave valve]

wiki's got all those answers

oh you should

[dark dagger]

My collection

[wide solar]

juicy

[dark dagger]

its why i never have money

90% of this game for me is just building guns and seeing how they feel

[wide solar]

same im just saving my money for the flee market

then im going crazy with the kits

[dark dagger]

my favorite rig

[dark dagger]

nice

i cropped what didnt need to be shown xD. @grave valve you like synthwave at all?

[dark dagger]

a respectable stash

[grave valve]

stash is full of kits lol i cant lose enough shjit fast enough lol

[wide solar]

2 monitors?

[dark dagger]

yeah my almost month and a half of experience have taught me I can lose everything easily

[grave valve]

2 yea, print screen was capturing both, too lazy to do anything bout it

[dark dagger]

ive only been gaming on PC for about 4 months xD so my response time is wonky cuz ive been playing console for the last 8 years

[grave valve]

i played console forever but i also played m/kb off and on too over the years but like 10 years ago i switched full time to pc gaming

[dark dagger]

nice, yeah i havent gotten then hang fully yet of moving my hands, just my thumbs xD

an point fingers

Eyyy my loot crate is coming on the 22nd

[wide solar]

bruh how can i use my adar without a gas block

cuz i cant see through my reflex sight

[grave valve]

mk 12 gas block

[wide solar]

is the pk-06 sight good?

[grave valve]

i only run the pk06

you'll notice in my screen shots how many there are lol

in game its dope, irl its trash

[wide solar]

damn

but i cant buy it from dealers

[grave valve]

pk06 isnt from traders

find in raid only

[wide solar]

alr

[supple prawn]

i switched to mainly pc this year. Its tough with having limited control over games but i manage. (dm for details if ya like)

[undone yew]

Pk-06 is overpriced imo much better options for cheaper

It's definitely good,just expensive

[grave valve]

tarkovs a hard one to start on, but the good thing about that is when you go to play most other shooters its gonna seem ez in comparison as far as controls go

[supple prawn]

ahh that isnt the reason

[wide solar]

i thought tarkov was gonna be like rust but nope

[grave valve]

nothing is like tarkov

[supple prawn]

tarkov is tho

[grave valve]

big true

[supple prawn]

i got out with a flash drive :p

[grave valve]

those precious little shits

everyone gets stuck on em at some point in their career of wipes lol

[wide solar]

wait i sold my flash drive for 40k or something like that

[supple prawn]

ono

[grave valve]

need find in raid flash drives

lol

quests

[supple prawn]

flash drives are rare and u need them for 2 quests

[wide solar]

its the blue thing?

[grave valve]

go to the wiki my dude

[supple prawn]

no they look like usb flash drives

silver

[wide solar]

ohh

[grave valve]

silver metal flash drives

[wide solar]

i got the blue ones

never seen a silver one

[supple prawn]

only reason im running close range rn. I could be running bolt actions for the other jaegar quest

and thats cause they’re rare!

[grave valve]

i haaaaate jaegers quests

[wide solar]

i dont think i will even get jaeger

[grave valve]

i do enough for lvl 4 for perfect mediator quest to get the free thicc wep case

if it wasnt for that reward i wouldnt even get him to lvl 4

[wide solar]

btw can i get jaeger without quests

[grave valve]

no

cuz to get hi myou need to do multiple quests lol

if you dont do quests ur gonna have a bad time, or an expensive time anyway

traders make life so much easier and save you a lot on flea prices

[turbid pilot]

Plus it’s a good habit to get into considering they’ll be a lot more important as the game approaches launch

[grave valve]

^

[wide solar]

btw i heard extract camping makes big gains

should i try it

[grave valve]

lol doesnt really work well agaisnt the ppl that are prepared or rdy, i kill many exfil campers hoping to rat me

idk when i was last killed by one

[little basin]

don't do it, extract campers are such a low lifeform

[turbid pilot]

Extract camping totally works

But it’s boring so you’re gonna have a lot of downtime

[little basin]

It works but it's just not right

[turbid pilot]

If you’re exclusively looking to roll random chance on loot from people extracting after ages of downtime feel free to try

[little basin]

also you learn nothing by doing it

[grave valve]

^

that too

[wide solar]

ok i wont

[turbid pilot]

You learn the exact place to put your crosshair

The headshot someone from 480m away

With a 45x scope zeroed to 500

[little basin]

ok that kind of extract camping is actually skillful, not many players that can hit a 500m headshot, that comes down to pin point zero-ing

and pre scouting ranges etc

[turbid pilot]

Yep. I absolutely adore sniping like, outskirts from sniper mountain on woods

[grave valve]

i woudlnt really consider that extract camping tho either

when either person is 100's of meters from it lol

[little basin]

I love sniping with a mosin with iron sights, got customs 1st born in heaven kill like that in foggy weather

[turbid pilot]

It’s a shame that RNG weather basically decides if you’re allowed to shoot people or not

[little basin]

that was 30% skill and 70% luck

[turbid pilot]

I had a similar encounter this wipe. Got my first customs SBIH with an aks at like 250m

I was doing the 25 scav kills and got absurdly lucky 😂

[little basin]

nice xd

[wide solar]

i found something called kek is it worth it?

and its purple

[little basin]

best scoped shot was from customs big red to medical/crack den, you could shoot as far as big daddy or that big middle building

[little basin]

decent barter item

[supple prawn]

10k on the flea. Its good ya

i havent looked up the barters tho

[turbid pilot]

Worth a decent amount now. Worth an entire stash full of Bitcoin at the start of a wipe

It’s really useful for a number of high value crafts including ice cream cones crafting which is a major progress wall for a lot of people early

Selling them is a great way to make cash early.

[grave valve]

im glad they added a lot of craftable stuff to the hideout for the that early wipe quest stuff

[turbid pilot]

Agree

I’m excited for more hideout stuff personally. Gave the game way more depth in what you loot

[grave valve]

some ppl dislike it cuz it takes away from the hardcore aspect but i dont have time of day lol

[wide solar]

lol i just found lvl 5 armor in a stash

[supple prawn]

nice!

[grave valve]

hell yea, Ghzel im guessing? or korund

[cosmic magnet]

arent EOD owners gonna have a cooler looking hideout soon?

[turbid pilot]

Eventually one day yeah

[cosmic magnet]

like it shows over the maps or something

[wide solar]

ghzel

[turbid pilot]

The ghzel slaps

One of my favourite armours

[grave valve]

ghzel is good for like 1 bullet lol

[turbid pilot]

Yeah but that’s all you need baby

[grave valve]

id honestly rather run a kirasa or paca

lol

[turbid pilot]

We talking about the lvl 5 white armour right?

[grave valve]

its blue

light blue

[wide solar]

i dont think im gonna make it a 2 man is chasing me

[grave valve]

made of ceramic

stop typing and run lol

[little basin]

try to create an ambush

[wide solar]

im trying but they throwing nades at me

they look kitted af

one looks like he has killas helmet

but im hiding in some bushes rn

[little basin]

BLAST EM'

[turbid pilot]

I’m going insane @grave valve are we talking about the same armour?

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/images/5/5a/GZHELK-Image.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20180520205529

This thing?

[wide solar]

its that one

[grave valve]

wow why tf is it so white in that pic? lol

[turbid pilot]

It is white!

[grave valve]

no its not lol, its light blue

[turbid pilot]

That’s the in game inage 😂

That’s taken directly from the game files!

[little basin]

the aluminium untar?

[wide solar]

awww im dead

[little basin]

SHIT

[turbid pilot]

Rip tk

2021-2021

[wide solar]

bruh this man found me inside the bushes

[turbid pilot]

He heard you

[wide solar]

nah i wasnt moving

[grave valve]

3M is lvl 3 and white, Ghzel is lvl 5 and light blue

[turbid pilot]

Ghzel is definitely white

[wide solar]

it is white i saw it

[turbid pilot]

If they were chasing you they definitely heard you run into the bush so they were probably checking them is what I meant :3

[wide solar]

welp unlucky

[supple prawn]

if it makes u feel better tk i got sniped close to spawn cause i was looking the wrong way

[little basin]

actually who cares, ceramic sux ASS

breaks easily and repairs like poo

[grave valve]

yea anyway thats my point @little basin

[supple prawn]

dunno why i was looking towards big red when there were no angles to hold or anything

prolly was a chad

[little basin]

I hope they add tripping and falling into the game so you can fall and crack your ceramic plates xd

[grave valve]

ceramic loses mad durability when repaired and it breaks ez af

[little basin]

Get tarkov'd

[turbid pilot]

You repairing your ceramic?

[wide solar]

ceramic irl breaks easily aswell

[turbid pilot]

I just yeet it soon as I kill a guy

[wide solar]

not suprised

[turbid pilot]

And take their armour

[grave valve]

not the ceramic plates used for body armor

they can take a better beatingthan in game

[little basin]

50/50 irl it takes quite a few rounds

[supple prawn]

gotta love the spicy 30% survive rate

[grave valve]

armor underperforms in tarkov a lot compared to irl

[little basin]

@supple prawnwdym? mine is 57

[turbid pilot]

30% survival rate is above average

[grave valve]

lvl 4 armor plates can take multiple m61's usually without pen

[supple prawn]

we’re in #beginners-assistance ...

idk if u were expecting chad levels of gameplay from a dude who sucks

[little basin]

sorry, didn't mean to offend any1

[supple prawn]

even tho i have 180 hours 😭

[little basin]

ok yeah

I'm at 1170

[turbid pilot]

180 hours in tarkov is still super beginner

[supple prawn]

yurp

[grave valve]

stats dont matter honestly man, dont even pay attention to em

[turbid pilot]

You’ve basically done a single raid

[supple prawn]

no ive done 372 :0

[little basin]

actually true yeah

[turbid pilot]

False! The longest shot kill is the most important thing in the entire game

[little basin]

@turbid pilotok mr sniper

[turbid pilot]

I seek that coveted 1000m kill. One day I shall achieve it and proclaim myself tarkov world champion

Hopefully streets will be big enough to make it happen

[supple prawn]

whaaat you mean that me losing 24.67 liters of blood isn’t important!?!? :0

[little basin]

chill out Chris Kyle

lmao

[grave valve]

technically you can do it already

on shoreline

i think

[supple prawn]

anyways its 4 am guys i gotta head out have a nice night/day

[grave valve]

pestily did a vid a long time ago about trying to get the longest shot

[turbid pilot]

You can’t be ad spammed or magdumped from 300+ metes away you see. None of the chads with their meta M4s and pk-06s can hurt me when I’m 1 pixel large on their screen on top of a tree

[little basin]

true

[turbid pilot]

Yeah i know it’s possible on shoreline but you have to do some absolutely insane shenanigans to make it happen and I ain’t got any friends 😂

[little basin]

my longest shot is 263

[grave valve]

i can pop a guy fairly easily with a pk at 200

200+

[turbid pilot]

Hence the 300+ 😂

[grave valve]

sniper scavs have been great practice lol

you better hit that first shot lol

[turbid pilot]

With my silenced DVL you won’t even know you’re being shot at

Plus it’ll be night time so I’ll be even harder to spot

[grave valve]

you'd have to catch me in a sightline that long to begin with, i dont play any interchungus or shoreline outside quests

[turbid pilot]

And I’ll throw turned on flashlights all over the place to confuse you

Maybe some smokes too

[little basin]

tbh longshots on are really good on reserve, woods and shoreline are more difficult imo

[grave valve]

bro if its night im packin a thermal

[turbid pilot]

Ahhh but you see, I have taken the new thermal reduction stim

So I am invisible to your thermal

[grave valve]

have you seen prices? lol

[little basin]

counter sniping dome snipers is my hobby

reserve

[turbid pilot]

I haven’t actually

I am memeing very hard

[grave valve]

i know lol

[turbid pilot]

Although I have done the toss flashlights everywhere tactic before

[grave valve]

that stim is maaaad rare rn

i havent seen one on the flea yet either

[turbid pilot]

Bring a backpack full of cheap pistols with flashlights on

Toss them all over the place in woods

Then go find an angle

People will inevitably be drawn to the gloriously illuminated area

Wondering why there’s a dozen flashlights on the ground

Then you drop en

[wide solar]

well what are the cheapest pistols

[little basin]

dude try this out, in a building at nighttime put a weapon with a flashlight on the ground facing stairs and just camp the stairs from another angle, people come up blasting the flashlight source

[turbid pilot]

^ fact

Works in dorms too

[little basin]

it's a glorious bamboozle

ye

[turbid pilot]

Works in interchange without it even being night

[little basin]

yup

[turbid pilot]

Just put it in mantis and stuff

[turbid pilot]

Good question

I genuinely do not remember

I know I used glocks

[little basin]

TT?

PM

[turbid pilot]

Because you can trade lightbulbs for a kitted glock

Sell the parts back

You need a pistol that can have a light on it

Probably the grach now I think about ig

[little basin]

w8

[wide solar]

what is good ammo for mosin

[little basin]

pm or tt 7k on average on flea rn

[little basin]

snb or 7n1

[wide solar]

im gonna scav hunt in customs

for my prapor quest

[little basin]

snb just has lvl 6 pen

7n1 can 1shot thorax when the enemy doesn't have bodyarmor

[turbid pilot]

LPS is fine for scav killin

[little basin]

yeah true

[wide solar]

alr

[turbid pilot]

7N1 is good for scav killing If you also wanna drop like mid tier players

[little basin]

yup

snb is just to be safe that you pen every shot you hit

[wide solar]

bruh lps pretty expensive

[little basin]

?

[wide solar]

50 bullets for 23k

[little basin]

it's not like you're going full auto with it

[turbid pilot]

Yeah 400 a bullet is about what you get for mosin ammo

[grave valve]

500 rubles a bullet for a bolt action is cheap lol

[little basin]

coughs in M993

[wide solar]

should i bring any armro

armor

[grave valve]

993 is just unnecessary lol, m61 plenty op enough

[turbid pilot]

Always bring armour

[little basin]

lol not a bolty but .338 AP is 100k a round rn xd

[turbid pilot]

Even if it’s just some cheap lvl 3 stuff like a press armour

You don’t wanna get a shotty in the chest from a random scav and Insta die

[little basin]

6B3TM armored rig

that's my go to for a cheap budget armor

[turbid pilot]

I personally hate the bib

[grave valve]

6B5-15 is a good alternate then

[turbid pilot]

I lije the Russian armours yeah

[grave valve]

cuz it includes everything you kill, not just pmc

raiders, scavs, bodyguards, bosses

[little basin]

yeah but

the kill count is still 858 with 445 raids

[turbid pilot]

Uhh… 858/185 is like 4.6

That’s perfectly accurate to your stats?

[bold kernel]

Hello everyone, I have a question please. What sight can I buy for the stock MP5

[grave valve]

it doesnt stop recording ur kd just cuz you left the raid

[little basin]

you need a top rail and then something

[little basin]

I'd personally just use the irons

[wide solar]

where do i find scavs in customs

[bold kernel]

Okay thank you

[hot tree]

goto mapgenie there is an option where it shows scav spawns

[grave valve]

scav tower at the far east side of the map, dorms, new and old gas, stronghold, ruaf roadblock

[hot tree]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs

[turbid pilot]

Big red courtyard /storage area by big red / ice cream store across the big bridge from big re…

The locations on that map. Much better way to do it lol

[wide solar]

lol i have never done customs

[hot tree]

press those 2

[wide solar]

alr

[hot tree]

it may take a while for the scavs to spawn but those spots usually have scavs

[wide solar]

this is pretty helpful ngl

are there more maps on this site

[grave valve]

it has em all

[wide solar]

reserve is only for pros

why is reserve so popular

[little basin]

it's like mini labs

[grave valve]

not for pros, its cuz theres loot everywhere

[turbid pilot]

It has all the loot

[grave valve]

whether you have keys or not its ez scav loot runs

[turbid pilot]

And raiders and scav boss

[little basin]

raiders and alot of good loot

[little basin]

+1

[turbid pilot]

Can’t wait for streets

Which has so much loot you literally can’t take it all

[grave valve]

im waaay mopre hyped for factory expansion than streets

factorys my home

[turbid pilot]

Yeah but streets is like, the soul of tarkov

It’s the map BSG envisioned from day one. Its going to be so cool

[grave valve]

ill believe theyll release streets AFTER ive loaded into the map lol

[turbid pilot]

I mean you can see the work they’re putting in. The latest teaser shows crazy upgrades to what we currently play

[wide solar]

what is this place called

[turbid pilot]

It’s pretty clear they’re going all out

That’s old gas station

[grave valve]

thats Old Gas

[turbid pilot]

Bottom of the map.

Slightly right of be midline

[grave valve]

extract is in the basement of that building

if you have it

[wide solar]

welp i dont

bruh people are going crazy around me

im scared to move lol

[grave valve]

stronghold is the big building behind it, beyond both the fences

[little basin]

I just call it big daddy

[grave valve]

theres another exfil there in the basement if oyu have factory key

and the power is on

[wide solar]

i have it on me

[turbid pilot]

That’s a good key

[grave valve]

if you have ZB-13 and its green power is on

[turbid pilot]

Worth a bit

[wide solar]

hmm

first i need to find scavs

[little basin]

can't wait for tonight, then I'll do some raids

probs pull an all nighter

xd

[grave valve]

look at the top of the twin white silos, sniper scav spawns up theres

ez shot with a mosin

[wide solar]

bruh i just wasted my factory key

[little basin]

lol I shot both his legs with one shot for that dumb jaeger quest

poor boy got kneecapped

[grave valve]

factory key has 50 uses

[little basin]

I got an idea for countering exfil campers

[grave valve]

murder them

ez

ran into a 5 man camping medical elevator in the basement on labs but unlucky for them i happened to bring a GL lol

[little basin]

how about they add a mechanic that you can't be looted when you die when you're extracting.

[grave valve]

that was good times

literally only the 2nd time ive used it this wipe lol, first time i got DC'd lol

[wide solar]

nice i found a lvl 4 helmet

[turbid pilot]

It’s 9am for me and I haven’t slept lol

[little basin]

xd

[wide solar]

same here

[grave valve]

i just had my 4:20 so you know

[vapid pagoda]

Hey guys question

[grave valve]

am

[vapid pagoda]

What is the closest spawn to dorms

[grave valve]

for 3 story its the spawn at the boat exfil

[wide solar]

bruh i spawned in a fucking warzone

[vapid pagoda]

I dont know i spawned by the broken wall by camp

[grave valve]

sounds liek ur 2 story side

[vapid pagoda]

and ran to dorms went 2nd story was closed

I was 2 story side

I went opened the door and i already heard footsteps on third

at marked

How can he already be there?

[grave valve]

yea someone could beat you to 3 story

[vapid pagoda]

Thats nuts

[grave valve]

new spawns are kinda dumb

60 secs and marked can be looted

[little basin]

yup

[vapid pagoda]

Yeah cause i checked game clock and it was at 43m

or something like 43:45

[grave valve]

thats pleeeenty of time

[little basin]

also max endurance/strength is whack

[vapid pagoda]

Hm okay

[wide solar]

noice already 2 scav kills

mosin op

[grave valve]

max str needs the weightless equipment perk removed

[little basin]

I kinda miss the old max str skid skid yeet yeet 20m bunnyhops xd

[grave valve]

and move speed tuned down

[little basin]

funny to see someone yeet across a large gap

dudes were actually flying

[wide solar]

where tf am i

[little basin]

between big red and garages

[grave valve]

land bridges

[little basin]

ye

[wide solar]

is this where the boat guy is

[little basin]

no

[grave valve]

other side of the big bridge

[turbid pilot]

Max str and endurance is fine

Becuase it takes like 2k+ hours to get there and like .05% of players make it

[little basin]

now yeah, it used to be absolutely stoopid

[wide solar]

is
RUAF Roadblock

near

[turbid pilot]

Yes

You’re right under it

[grave valve]

yes its ahead and follow the road to the right

[little basin]

welcome to tarkov truck is RUAF

[grave valve]

err, behind not ahead

[turbid pilot]

Turn round from that screenshot and look up

That’s ruaf

[wide solar]

ohh

[woven flint]

it might not be open tho

[grave valve]

yea its not open 24/7 even if it is green

so sometimes you'll have to go to trailer park

most likely

[wide solar]

its open i can extract

[grave valve]

giggity

[wide solar]

also i found a commando rig

[grave valve]

good budget rig

azimut is nice as well, 2 more 1x2 slots

[wide solar]

and team wendy helmet thing

[grave valve]

tan or black

[wide solar]

brownish

[grave valve]

ok tan, yea that aint bad

[turbid pilot]

team Wendy helmet is a top tier helmet

[grave valve]

the tan doesnt take a faceshield, the black one does so its worth a bit more when fir

[wide solar]

i can add night vision tho

[grave valve]

i dont even use exfils anymore, its either nothing a tc 800 or an altyn lol

[wide solar]

dam if i had that lvl 5 vest i would be a tank

[grave valve]

nah still an ez kill

sry man lol

[wide solar]

lel

[vapid pagoda]

Is there a map with all the updated Spawns

[grave valve]

not that ive seen

[wide solar]

https://mapgenie.io/

[grave valve]

i havent dug for one yet tho either

pmc spawns? mapgenie may not be updated yet

[turbid pilot]

An ez kill to a kitte player maybe

But ive seen a ton of <20s running around recently

Rocking mid tier anmo that wouldn’t pen a T5

[grave valve]

could get one shot with a pm and shit tier ammo cuz no faceshield, 1 shot with a ks23, double tapped with m61

[wide solar]

still one shot between the eyes and im dead

[grave valve]

3 55a1 hits and ur dead

[turbid pilot]

True but lvl 15s ain’t using any of those things most likely

[grave valve]

at this point in the wipe everyone runs top tier ammo

everyone

[turbid pilot]

New players aren’t rocking that kinda gear.

No that’s my point

I have run into literally dozens of players

Who are probably new

[grave valve]

ive killed a lot of timmies with kits way beyond waht they have access to lol

[turbid pilot]

And are <20

[grave valve]

and are under lvl 10

[turbid pilot]

Using PS 7.62, gzh ammo in smgs

Hell I saw one dude using PP in his AK

[grave valve]

these are kits given to them by their high lvl friends so they got the good shit

[turbid pilot]

Yeah I’m just saying there are plenty of people running around not using meta gear

[grave valve]

mostly on factory btw

cuz i live there

like

24/7

[turbid pilot]

They’re just not the people running straight for hot spots or doing factory

Yeah you won’t see these guys there

[wide solar]

any good adar ammo

[turbid pilot]

These guys are the people looking power station 10 minutes into an interchange raid etc

855 is solid Adar armour for scav and low level player killing

856a1 is mid tier player

855a1 / m995 is high tier player killing

[grave valve]

i run 55a1/995/m61 for everything lol

[wide solar]

i guess im going with 855

[grave valve]

ill mag dump a scav with 2k a round m61, fuck it

[wide solar]

isnt there ammo that costs 500k each

[turbid pilot]

Tk almost certainly can’t afford that XD

Nah the most expensive ammo is found in raid 338 AP

Which is worth like 20k a bullet

Because it one shots the chest through lvl 6 armour

[little basin]

lol it was 100k a shot last I checked

[grave valve]

see me swing out of sky bridge by gate 3 onto the blue containers and mag dump my sa58 at you lol

[little basin]

actually even at 100k it's worth it

as long as you pop beefy boys

[turbid pilot]

It’s 100k now?

For real?

[grave valve]

i got one of them rdy to go with a few mags

[little basin]

last I checked

only offers were 100k+

[turbid pilot]

Hot damn

[grave valve]

blast my eardrums out killin someone

[turbid pilot]

I guess with more people getting acces to the gun

More people want the ammo

[little basin]

and the round being really lethal

yeah

[grave valve]

its a guaranteed one hit to the thorax, no matter what theyre wearing

[little basin]

yup

[grave valve]

the dust particle effects from the round impacts are beautiful

[turbid pilot]

And

[grave valve]

i must say

[turbid pilot]

With the 12.11 penetration overhaul

[grave valve]

i wonder if we

[turbid pilot]

I expect it’ll be a one shot no matter what they’re wearing… through concrete

[grave valve]

ll be able to shoot thru the off ice wall on the stairs

[turbid pilot]

Almost certainly

[grave valve]

office*

[wide solar]

any 50 bmg sniper rifles in tarkov?

[little basin]

no

[grave valve]

nope

only 50 is the ash12

[wide solar]

i saw there was 50 bmg shotgun ammo

[grave valve]

its absolute trash

never use it

ever

[wide solar]

it had good stats

[little basin]

if .338 goes through lvl 7 then I don't want to know what ap .50 would go through

[turbid pilot]

The way Nikita described it is that surfaces will be way more pennable and with factory getting the expansion I expect it will have the most love in regards to that

[turbid pilot]

Buildings

[little basin]

wallhackers wet dream

[turbid pilot]

I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised

[grave valve]

the mk18 is for when theres an intruder, in your neighbors house, behind a refridgerator.

[turbid pilot]

If a .50 could go through building walls with the pen update

The mounted guns are gonna be way scarier

[wide solar]

there is mounted guns wth

[grave valve]

and mounted auto grenade launchers xD

welcome to tarkov

[wide solar]

i cant imagine how tarkov will look like complete

[grave valve]

hear me pop that thing off and nuke dorms

[turbid pilot]

The mounted heavy machine guns with the penetration update is going to be so fun

[wide solar]

for hackers

[turbid pilot]

Not necessarily

[wide solar]

wallbanging us through buildings

[turbid pilot]

I will often have enemies run into cover

And id be able to shoot them if they weren’t behind an invincible wooden crate

[grave valve]

or nade them if it didnt land in a FUCKING INVINCIBLE CARDBOARD BOX

[turbid pilot]

Yep

Pen will fix that too

[grave valve]

and no that caps was not on accident

[turbid pilot]

It’ll be great

One of my friend best clips

Is them killing someone in 2 story dorms

By peaking, then shooting them in the head through one of the little cupboards

That are made of thin wood and can be shot through

It was a bolt action rifle kill

Clean one tap to the head with 0 vision

[grave valve]

i like scaring the timmies hiding in office on factory by combat voiclining, breaching the door and spraying them down lol

[wide solar]

i hope i dont lose my sexy adar

[turbid pilot]

I also hope this

[little basin]

I like using the ash-12 there, nothing scares the shit out of them more than a gun that sounds like absolute annihilation

[wide solar]

are grenade launchers op

[grave valve]

loud and proud baby

[wide solar]

cant you just plast anybody you see

blast

[little basin]

meh, kinda

[grave valve]

yeah, but theyre expensive to run continuously

[wide solar]

they must be op in labs

[little basin]

lmao I bought 20 mil worth of GLs just to delete them

[grave valve]

they are

[little basin]

I hate them and I was bored

[grave valve]

@little basin i also did this, last wipe tho

[wide solar]

couldve gave them to me

[little basin]

NO

[wide solar]

yes

[gray notch]

I bought a thicc weapons case of GL when they were 200k earlier this wipe

[little basin]

I'll bring you a sicc case some day or a full kit with meta hk, slick and wendy but no fucking GLs

[gray notch]

just sux you cant get that much ammo

[wide solar]

what is the meta rn

[turbid pilot]

GLs are in a weird spot

[grave valve]

i can give you both one of those kits rn if your on lol

[turbid pilot]

Becuase they’re undeniable strong

[wide solar]

bet?

[turbid pilot]

But ideally they need a squad to really work well

Or you need to be good aiming long range with them

[gray notch]

I mean they really dont have that much of a downside as a secondary

[grave valve]

theyre not hard to use

[gray notch]

You can get them for about 500k still

[turbid pilot]

The downside is they’re a secondary

[grave valve]

the barter is like 250-300k

[little basin]

except losing extra 500k when you die

[gray notch]

so?

[turbid pilot]

Which means if you have them out and get rushed close youre fucked, and if you don’t have them out they’re usually if you come across someone at the right range

[wide solar]

this sight looks soo nice wow

[little basin]

if you're not rich then it ain't worth

[grave valve]

pk06 is clean

[wide solar]

do i still get the scav kills for custom after i die

[gray notch]

did you kill them?

[wide solar]

i killed one

but im still alive

[grave valve]

yes you do

[turbid pilot]

Unless it’s an item you have to hand in

You retain all quest progress when you die

Except for some very rare and specific quests

[wide solar]

should i dip?

[grave valve]

yea, ur full

[wide solar]

alr

[bold kernel]

I'm really looking for a Tarkov teammate

[wide solar]

anybody know where the fuck this is

[grave valve]

ur at the scav tower, behind it

[hot tree]

becareful there are usually scavs nearby

[wide solar]

i think i killed them all

[grave valve]

what exfil are you looking for

[hot tree]

you are here if you are asking

[wide solar]

im kinda running out of pain killers
