[tight ember]

I accidently killed my random teammate who I played labs with. now I feel bad

[slow night]

does labs not consume the keycard atm? i just ran it but i still have the card, unless i somehow had 2 and didn’t notice

[placid tree]

Anyone can do it currently, you don't need a keycard

[slow night]

oh sweet lol

[pure marsh]

And I just bought 6 cards yesterday 😓

[crisp nest]

[somber rain]

then i avoided gunshots from a pmc

[barren oasis]

[bold kernel]

[barren oasis]

Bussin means rlly good

[somber rain]

[pure marsh]

Nothing but KS23S

[barren oasis]

oh hes new new to this game nvm

[somber rain]

are raiders just the AI scavs?

[barren oasis]

yes, but with better gear sets and are more aggro

[dry belfry]

They are scavs on roids

[somber rain]

damn

where can they be found

[dry belfry]

Reserve rn by the boatload

[barren oasis]

They’re just scavs on PCP

[dry belfry]

Scavs on acid

[bright raptor]

[placid tree]

I'm hella confused right now, just spawned into factory as a scav and literally was just me, a shit ton of scavs were walking about and a lot of dead pmcs lmao

[plush moth]

Should i have anti aliasing off and shaprness to 3 or should i have anti aliasing to taa high and shapness to 0.9?

[bold kernel]

Can someone guide me to D2 FAST 10 minutes in raid

[dry belfry]

Yeah, stream somewhere

[trail schooner]

I been wanting to learn labs so it's a good opportunity to learn it but I keep dying every raid almost, what gear should I be using as like geared or budget

[stiff nebula]

just downloaded the game, any other newbs tryna learn together? 420 friendly af

[rough scarab]

like 80k

[vague gull]

i sold 95k each 🤓

[trail schooner]

I found a 16 stack of those

[swift osprey]

what scope

can I use on this gun?

[unreal horizon]

almost anything can go on that rail

[dry belfry]

Are you 69 friendly too?

[swift osprey]

how can i know if it is compatible?

[trail schooner]

Any tips

[swift osprey]

bcs i have this and i cannot use it

[slow night]

what’s the scope with 1x and 6x and it’s a red circle on 1x and a cross hair on 6x

[stiff nebula]

depends how far

[trail schooner]

Vudu

[swift osprey]

[slow night]

thanks

[copper depot]

double click it, and there's a ui bit that shows what's compatible

[rough scarab]

you need the scope rings

[solid comet]

vudu

[swift osprey]

OMG thanks

im so so dump

[copper depot]

no worries 🙂

[vague sparrow]

hey i just got a few things out of raid but im not sure who to sell it too as im not high enough level for market yet, can someone let me know who to sell each item too ?

[rough scarab]

keep sugar till you get market

[vague sparrow]

oki

[rough scarab]

gun mods and ammo sell to mechanic

[crisp nest]

oml fucking gluhar

we wipe the lobby

and damn gluhar

kills my teammate

rip to like 500k i had to leave behind

kobe'd him in the head from weapon testing to the balcony at hangar

with an f1

[vague sparrow]

@rough scarab who should i sell all the drinks too ?

[rough scarab]

therapist

[vague sparrow]

ok thanks

[rough scarab]

or use them

[wild osprey]

idk if that's still how people do it but before market i used to use the TSM rule. everything i won't need i would sell in order Therapist -> Skier -> Mechanic

[crisp nest]

m before s

and depending on if u have jaeger or not

[wary valley]

what are the spawns for expensive shit on the resort?

[crisp nest]

red card ledx blue card

tape room

[wary valley]

like room number

[crisp nest]

search up a yt video

[quaint sky]

What's everyone's go to budget weapon for factory? I'm trying to get better at pvp without breaking the bank

[hot tree]

i used my sks

for some factory but may be a bad choice if you need to reload

[rough scarab]

ppsh with a drum mag

just click and hold

[crisp nest]

play labs

its free

rn

[rough scarab]

damn fr

[crisp nest]

very hard but eh if you're new you can take small wins

me and my friend always die cuz we go greedy

but then we tried going for weapon testing

and met gluhar

just dont be greedy

go on labs, kill raiders, pop off with their guns, or just take the profit and leave

[quaint sky]

oh, free as in it doesn't take a keycard rn?

[crisp nest]

yes

[quaint sky]

woah

crazy

[crisp nest]

shits fun

[quaint sky]

thanks for the tip

[crisp nest]

all the players who dont play pvp as much are so annoying

they push when they hear u heal

[alpine knot]

any help im level 2

[crisp nest]

but then my animation cancel wont work

so i end up dying

lol

[fresh sapphire]

because of the reserve event and me being pushed by killa for the last 10 raids i am now broke any good making money ideas

[rough scarab]

stash runs

[fresh sapphire]

word

[swift rampart]

Im some what new and would like to start playing in a squad how do i go upon doing that?

[hot tree]

just told you in beginner chat

[slow night]

rough day, thought i was done watching my money but today has brought me back 0 lmao

[crisp nest]

died on labs?

labs is so fun rn excluding gluhar

gluhar is harder than the whole lobby

[idle niche]

any one trying to help me with labs?

[swift rampart]

Im down i like playing in squads.

[swift osprey]

Are we sure that if the wipe comes in I dont lose my Edge of Darkness pack icludes?

(money items, stash size etc)

[swift rampart]

Im new and i like to communicate strategically.

[idle niche]

im in labs 2

[crisp nest]

u dont

u just restart back to what eod starts with

[merry dust]

any of you got a good map of labs?

[crisp nest]

i dont use a map tbh

i just watched some vids

played a bit

the maps make no sense

because its 3 floors

what i remember is

red and violet and green on 2nd floor

blue and black on main floor

underground is just the tech level with raiders

blue black green side is the medical block

On labs, is sa-58 or 308 mdr better?

assuming meta ofc

[merry dust]

my random ass mp133

[crisp nest]

1 lobby of labs today i had was

a level 8, level 13, a mp153 ap20 rat

and a guy running 366 ap in a vepr ak

[low meadow]

my game is stuck when i launch it never lets me in the game

and it gives me a error = backend error: unknown error

[flat peak]

damn bro im so ready for wipe, ive lost all my money to labrats

[merry dust]

he knows what hes doing

most meta setup of all time

[serene root]

Hey guys, went into a scav match and its stuck at synchro other players 95% for 8 minutes....we went in as a duo....no back button to back out

What do we do? force close?

nvm it just shit itself and crashed

[pure marsh]

Nice

[marsh latch]

Usually if that happens @serene root give it about 5 minutes after that alt-f4 and come back in it will probably still take a minute but it usually works after that

[pure marsh]

@marsh latch there's only room for one of us round here

[marsh latch]

I dont want to have to get banned go back to your hidy hole if there can only be 1 i see logically it can only be me

[pure marsh]

Are you a whiskey or civilian side?

[marsh latch]

I wish I was i nice bourbon

I'm a civ funny enough I do have a valid TCCC tho but I was originally training as a SaR EMT never completed it though due to my own incompetence and some health stuff

@pure marsh

But I've had this name since like 2010

[pure marsh]

Ah. I've been in since 2016. Line medic shit lmaoooo

[merry dust]

DID I JUST GET FUCKING DROP SHOTTED BY A SCAV?

[runic eagle]

Is someone willing to play with me? I'm a big noowb, and can't play solo 😛 he assistance chat is always full. And there is always 1 or 2 afk in that chat..

[marsh latch]

Ye they do that homie

Otto join a random assistance channel they will be happy to play

[merry dust]

https://medal.tv/clips/55930203/d13371Rt2Vh7

[runic eagle]

always full..

For some reason they are always full, and there is always people muted in there so i can't get a spot..

[marsh latch]

Yeah. I wouldn't really call that a drop shot he more just went prone and shot you

[crisp nest]

raider ai is like that

today i loaded in at the stairs

went down

and 1 min in there was 3 raiders

they all proned

so we wasted a mag of m995 each

cuz we didnt know whether they died or not

[barren oasis]

made

[unreal horizon]

when you go prone some people's brains get fried and they dont know what to do

[crisp nest]

rip 300k

[barren oasis]

no pk lvl 4 wack

[crisp nest]

nope and out of stock in 5 min

[swift rampart]

@runic eagle im new well somewhat level 6 i think game is awesome but scary and a bit biring bymyself wanna group up?

[unreal horizon]

I was 3 mins late to restock, sold out

[merry dust]

im level 5 bro

ive decently learned customs and im tryna do labs rn

labs is easy

enemies are not

[swift rampart]

Iv only ever played on shoreline.. I got into it for the "open world survival" but got damn this game is scary.

But i dont mind playing other maps

[merry dust]

it really is

the jumpscares are horrendous

[swift rampart]

Right? Lmao. Ur walking one sec doing yah thing and than RATATATAT!

[merry dust]

and rarely you hear them

like if youre really close then maybe youll hear a slight russian phrase other than that you instantly get shot at

[frail quarry]

is shgitjng ranger how far your gun can shoot

[crisp nest]

no

kinda

[swift rampart]

Fr.. Anyone wanna make a group? Ama play in about 15 minutes

Downloading game rn

[inland hinge]

what's the best mid range weapon?

[crisp nest]

thats not a question u can answer

its like: what is the best dessert

[inland hinge]

ight

[crisp nest]

meaning: its preference

[slow night]

meaning ice cream is the best dessert. and the best mid ranged weapon is the ppsh

[pure mist]

True, semi auto rifles would but my choice tho

[pure mist]

Ur joking right?

[fading arch]

ppsh best gun in the game no cap

[crisp nest]

gl40

[compact igloo]

anyone wanna help me learn customs im lvl 11 i have my own kit i decent but not good

[inner bramble]

Im level 25 and im trash i have no money and not good kits at all

[proven saddle]

ppsh is named that way because it makes you go ppsh when you kill sombody that had it

[merry dust]

is bpz fmj good

[merry dust]

im a level 5 and i know customs quite decently

i can help you out

[rough scarab]

where tf am i

theres a bridge to my left

[merry dust]

YOOOO KPOP FAN IS BACK

[rough scarab]

thanks

[dawn geyser]

No problem.

[rough scarab]

idk whats happening im scared though

[merry dust]

where is the hanger in this?

[rough scarab]

i killed two raiders there is like 5 more across the bridge

[dawn geyser]

Doesn't show lower portion.

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

[pure mist]

Sky bridge

[pure marsh]

That arrow is storage hangar

Oh. I just learned how to read

[rough scarab]

i managed to survive

[pure marsh]

Nice bro. Labs is probably the easiest map to extract from

[pure mist]

so many extract lol

[pure marsh]

Like obviously you have to live but you can literally go to any side of the map and leave

[pure mist]

7 extracts i think

5 at least if hangar and parking isn't open

[pure marsh]

None of them require a key or anything

Just press a button and chill for 30 seconds

[pure mist]

pretty much

just gotta know how to fight raiders lol

[vernal fiber]

and the hardest to survive in

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rough scarab]

i legit didnt leave the bridge part of the map

[vernal fiber]

then how you going to get out XD

[rough scarab]

i killed like 3 raiders and took some of there gear then ran to hangar

[vernal fiber]

ah

safest is sewer but nobody goes there cos its dirty

also raiders are free money

[rough scarab]

might do another

it was kinda fun although i almost got shit on by the raiders

I legit peak the bridge and there was like 6 of them

3 pushed me though

[jolly lily]

for the observe boss meeting task whats the best way to do it cause i wan that +1 lvl to charisma

[unreal horizon]

I think you just have to survive a reserve raid

[jolly lily]

idk ive gotten conflcitng vids when i watched on youtube some say 7k and survive other kill one boss and other say look at a boss and survive

also would killing the bosses on reserve count for the hunts man tasks where i have to kill them

[unreal horizon]

probably

counted to stylish one

[rough scarab]

damn igolnik is pretty underwhelming

[unreal horizon]

it's good wym?

3 shot chest

[rough scarab]

coulda sworn i killed the raider but he was still alive

maybe i armed him

[unreal horizon]

you wont 1 tap raiders

if you want to use BS

[rough scarab]

was hitting chest

[pure marsh]

That high ricochet chance is a bitch as well

5.45 is just too balanced

[rough scarab]

should I run an rfb on labs

[pure marsh]

Sure. I mean just think of labs as factory+

Especially since it's free

[rough scarab]

yea wasnt sure since its semi

[unreal horizon]

note that m61 is stupid expensive w/o peacekeeper

[rough scarab]

i have 3 stacks

[unreal horizon]

like 4k a shot

perfect

[pure marsh]

You could just run a hunter to save money

[rough scarab]

gonna run a mag of m61 in gun, mag of m80 in rig, maybe 2 of m61 in container

[rough scarab]

i have a rfb from a duo i killed a few days ago

[pure marsh]

Ahhhhh

Word

[unreal horizon]

lol they died bc they ran rfb

[rough scarab]

with m80

[strong aspen]

Just lost a 600k loadout by a scav that one-tapped me at Power Station with buckshot

Tarkov giveth

[vernal fiber]

just use an sr25 or m1a

better value

last time I checked

[dreamy turtle]

Hunter is way cheaper

[vernal fiber]

but if you die many times more is it worth it

thats the argument for investing that 10 or 20k more for a better survival chance

[dreamy turtle]

It’s not 10-20k more

Sr is ~90k rn

[pure marsh]

Hunter is definitely budget

[vernal fiber]

budget isnt always better

[vernal fiber]

thus why I said last time I checked, all Im saying is check the prices check how good the guns are, cheaper isnt always the smarter option

also that was just in general

[pure marsh]

It's the ammo that carries that whole thing. Hunter with M61 kills anything

[vernal fiber]

which is why a far better gun with the same ammo for a reasonable amount is going to increase your survival chance

I cant count the number of times hunter has failed me with its recoil

[pure marsh]

No, skill increases your survival chance. Not gear

[vernal fiber]

not at all true

[pure marsh]

Knowledge in general

[vernal fiber]

skill is helpful

and often the decider

with similar gear levels

but with the worst gear in the world you will still lose to the better gear most of the time

[pure marsh]

I can literally one tap you with a hunter or a KS23 while I'm naked

[vernal fiber]

I get what you're saying but it isnt always true

[vernal fiber]

a) not the worst gear

b) not if you have equal skill and they play it just as well as they could

see how effective you are outside of 20m with a ks or a hunter vs an mdr

[pure marsh]

Nothing is always true. Literally pst GZH can penetrate an Altyn and get a lucky headshot

[vernal fiber]

of course, but relying on luck instead of investing more for a better survival chance is just nonsensical

Im not saying that skill isnt important

just that gear can counter balance heavily

[crisp nest]

how is a ks23/vepr not the worst gear

[vernal fiber]

I cant count the number of times Ive played it better than the opponent and still died because they tanked more bullets than me

[vernal fiber]

far worse ammo and guns exist

[crisp nest]

then they are more skilled at making money

[vernal fiber]

ks23 and hunter are "meta" for budget

[crisp nest]

still a skill issue

[pure marsh]

Gear doesn't make you good. Skill and knowledge does. Give any newbie here a slick, Altyn, and a meta M4 and they will die faster than any experienced player

[merry dust]

man this is quite the heated arguement

[vernal fiber]

not really skill but it is my point that gear is a factor

and shouldnt be ignored

[vernal fiber]

doesnt mean they might not kill an experienced player who has ammo with 1 pen value in a semi auto pistol from 50m

[crisp nest]

then why dont we include luck too

[vernal fiber]

its just the mindset of only skill mattering is my issue

[merry dust]

Thats why I keep my altyn hk vector hgrid stuff sitting in my inventory

[vernal fiber]

gear is a massive decider

as is luck

[crisp nest]

less so than skill

[vernal fiber]

of course

[pure marsh]

but with the worst gear in the world you will still lose to the better gear most of the time

Literally go play labs right now and wear your best kit and I'll clap you while I'm naked

[vernal fiber]

but it still shouldnt be discounted

[vernal fiber]

a) you dont know how good anyone is lol, and as I said luck exists

and again

you wont.

win that most of the time

[crisp nest]

labs easy

[pure marsh]

No. I'm that confident against your argument

[vernal fiber]

with incredibly inferior gear

[vernal fiber]

personal skill doesnt make the conclusion

just saying

your example isnt true for everyone

[unreal horizon]

ks23 will win every time if you have 1/4 of a brain

[crisp nest]

no not really no armor and hexgrid = same thing

[vernal fiber]

most people are mediocre at best at the game

[crisp nest]

armor doesnt matter on labs

[vernal fiber]

with an average sr and kd

[vernal fiber]

tell that to m855a1 and all the other common ammos which are tanked

might not be the best value

but its still true that it will save you many times over

[crisp nest]

855a1 still killing you idk what u mean

[merry dust]

is this guy gonna act like some god chad player now

[unreal horizon]

it's raider proteection

[vernal fiber]

nope

Im just pointing out that a lot of the player base doesnt play for personal improvement

[pure marsh]

I don't even understand your argument at this point, you've literally said everything is bad and everything has a factor

[vernal fiber]

my argument is just that you shouldnt take one factor as the be all to end all

you say skill is much more important than gear to the point where it transcends it

Id disagree

[merry dust]

it does.

[crisp nest]

its by far the most important thing

[pure marsh]

Have you seen bakeazy? Or landmark?

[crisp nest]

bakeezy will destroy me with just a shrimp and sp13

[fading arch]

dont suppose anyone can point me in the direction of a good page showing which ammo types to use

[vernal fiber]

yes, and they still die a lot?

[dreamy turtle]

meta gun doesnt do anything if you cant hit them

[pure marsh]

!ballistics

[merry dust]

just use the wiki my friend

[vernal fiber]

have you watched the streams

they are great

incredible players

but they still lose out on luck

on gear

and on skill even

[merry dust]

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

[dreamy turtle]

that doesnt make skill not the primary factor of winning fights

[pure marsh]

Right but they can use shit gear or best in slot and wipe a lobby

[vernal fiber]

credit the average player with being able to point a gun, they might not beam you but they can kill you

[fading arch]

thanks all

[pure marsh]

Because they have the knowledge to do so

[vernal fiber]

can =/= will

but that knowledge doesnt always make a difference

there are just sometimes situations you cant play any better

because the game fucks you

or the gear fucks you

or the luck fucks you

[dreamy turtle]

obviously

[merry dust]

as if we didnt know

[vernal fiber]

so how is skill so transcendent?

[dreamy turtle]

but that doesnt justify spending 10x the amount on a kit

to improve your chances by a bit

[vernal fiber]

of course not and thats not what Im saying Im just arguing for a reasonable amount of money to increase SR

[merry dust]

you can slap an sks and like an MB2 and dominate

[copper depot]

omfg i didn't press complete on my quest to unlock jaeger

[merry dust]

you still can

[copper depot]

literally finished it last week

yeah i just realized

[vernal fiber]

yup all these guns are great for budget and Id agree

[merry dust]

it doesnt go anywhere i think

[copper depot]

i was wondering when jaeger was gonna unlock lmao

[vernal fiber]

the only point is you will still lose fights to players with better gear and equal or even worse skill

simply because you need more shots, or they need less

[dreamy turtle]

no one is arguing against you

[vernal fiber]

dirtbag is trying to XD

[dreamy turtle]

on that gear is relevant

but skill is a lot more relevant than gear

how do you dispute that

[pure marsh]

I'm saying knowledge>gear

[vernal fiber]

Im not

[merry dust]

^

[vernal fiber]

I agree, its just the mindset I see a lot of people carrying

[pure marsh]

You silly salmon

[vernal fiber]

that skill is transcendent

it isnt

it makes a massive difference

and is often the determiner

[unreal horizon]

No shit

[dreamy turtle]

ok so no one disagrees with you

[vernal fiber]

but it wont make you win everything

haha dirt has on that exact point

[merry dust]

just let him keep going

we can wait

[vernal fiber]

^

you even disagreed yourself

lol

[merry dust]

im not willing to get in this

[vernal fiber]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[merry dust]

if you havent noticed im a beginner a level 5 to be exact

[vernal fiber]

fair enough

everyone starts somewhere

[dreamy turtle]

thunder beasts are 190k omegalul

time to exclusively use the sdn

[vernal fiber]

yikes

[unreal horizon]

eco is so scuffed

[vernal fiber]

you dont say

[dreamy turtle]

slickers are 18k

lul

[unreal horizon]

Shit

[alpine knot]

im lvl 2 any help?

[dreamy turtle]

fuck vita juice is also 18k

[unreal horizon]

That's like 2 shots of 995

[dreamy turtle]

i cant even barter for slickers

i stocked up on a bunch of 995 when it was 2200 haha

[crisp nest]

i stocked up on 10 hexs at 300k lol

[dreamy turtle]

mp7s are 120

why

stop it

[merry dust]

reshala is easy to kill right?

planning to try him

[dreamy turtle]

yes comparatively

to other bosses

[unreal horizon]

I don't even think it's pre wipe it's just fucking annoying

[merry dust]

if i go scav you think i can?

[dreamy turtle]

probs

i think scaving reserve is just free af rn

you can find people who died to /kill bosses

[unreal horizon]

Thing is by the time you scav in he's prob dead

[merry dust]

yep

[merry dust]

dont know the map so i cant do much

[dreamy turtle]

you can rat around pawns/train/knight near the end and find bodies everywhere

people dont have enough room to take everything

[frank vault]

anyone got a good reserve map?

[unreal horizon]

Wiki

[dreamy turtle]

wiki is prob best

[unreal horizon]

It has a ton

[crisp nest]

wiki

[dreamy turtle]

the one i use is for shooter born in heaven so i know sniper ranges

[unreal horizon]

That's the only way to get better

[compact token]

PSA to all you new labs runners: the yellow keycard is terrible. do not buy it for 250k please

[cunning escarp]

i mean i'd love for someone to teach me

XD

labs is hard and i die every time

[modern swallow]

Yeah I did sell 3 yellow keycards earlier for 600k each. it was the lowest price for a short time, too

[jolly lily]

whats a reall good map to help learn labs

with less clutter

[compact token]

IC and reserve bunkers

but right now just send it into labs

[unreal horizon]

Wiki

Or mapgenie

[compact token]

oh you mean map of labs

not map to practice for labs

that makes more sense

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

I would probably have quit tarkov if I had started before mapgenie was done

[unreal horizon]

tbh I'm shocked some people try to learn without a map

[modern swallow]

ive always learned everything without maps honestly. if yuo play solo you just kill everything on sight anyway :^) eventually you learn the spots where people hide

[unreal horizon]

But like you need to know where to exit

[modern swallow]

i just wandered around until I found one - at some point I realized for most maps you can just hug the boundaries of each map until you hit one

[unreal horizon]

That's so weird

Lol

[modern swallow]

obviously it's much better if you start with someone who knows and can show you around haha

[unreal horizon]

You learn more playing solo with a map than following somebody around tho

Imo

[modern swallow]

true, but I feel that with a map you get to skip some details sometimes

[crisp nest]

lmfao

STEALTH

[rough scarab]

im assuming most people who start tarkov theres a map or something

[crisp nest]

been thru better days

[vivid ember]

why does everyone use the pk-06

is it personal preference or objectively better in some way?

[unreal horizon]

super small profile

[vivid ember]

ill stick with my kobra

[unreal horizon]

and no ergo penalty

[vivid ember]

+3 ergo for a fifth of the price

[crisp nest]

not +3

its +1

[vivid ember]

isnt it 3

or does the kobra -2

[crisp nest]

its -2

shade +3

[vivid ember]

ah

[unreal horizon]

from what i've heard the pk06 is dogshit irl so it's ironic it's meta

[vivid ember]

well still 1

yeah ive heard

[crisp nest]

i use pk06 because it looks good

and i can put it on the picatinny riser

[unreal horizon]

riser gang

no sway

[compact igloo]

anyone wannna teach me some good cache routes

[unreal horizon]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/interchange toggle off everything except caches

[lusty ice]

yo question

how the fuck do i extract

ive been running around the edge of the map but cant find anything

and theres 4min left

[simple frigate]

What's a "riser"?

[crisp nest]

raises the sight

[simple frigate]

As in using higher mounts?

[crisp nest]

yes

[simple frigate]

Got it

[nocturne swift]

Double press to key O and it will show your extraction locations.

[lusty ice]

oh

[nocturne swift]

Then you can find those locations from a map

[digital sable]

Best thing you can do for yourself long term is go on an offline raid a few times and practice navigating the map to each extract

[lusty ice]

damn

i was like 10 feet away

[compact token]

this star round wasn't even aimed in my direction and still lost me the fight

[lusty ice]

rip to the random ak that i found off a scav

[alpine knot]

anyone wanna help me in labs im lvl 2

[dreamy turtle]

i would not try labs yet

[alpine knot]

lol what should i do then

[unreal horizon]

asked

[merry dust]

labs at level 2😈

this guy has his priorities straight all the way

[old mulch]

Its because of the free event

[nocturne swift]

Customs.

[old mulch]

No?

[merry dust]

yeah customs

[old mulch]

This is a great oppurtunity to go labs

Itll introduce him to better people

[merry dust]

bro a level 2, labs.

[old mulch]

Take advantage of it

While its free

[merry dust]

people who will absolutely destroy him, unless he finds some god persons loot and takes it and manages to kill a few

and he also needs to know the map

[old mulch]

He will learn how to fight people

And how to position himself

[unreal horizon]

sending a lvl 2 to labs is honestly idiotic, try customs and focus on questing

[old mulch]

Labs is amazing for that

Questing is important

But not when wipe is impending

[rough scarab]

Better to learn them now than when everyone is trying to get them done

[unreal horizon]

^

[old mulch]

Or he could learn to fight people now

[unreal horizon]

he doesnt even have flea access just listen to yourself

skill > gear, but he has neither rn

[old mulch]

And?

[rough scarab]

Ah yes, fighting everyone with the stock smg and rifle you get from purchasing while they have good weapons and armor

[unkempt lantern]

i am trying to buy the edge of darkness and it just does this

[old mulch]

If you have very shitty gear, you learn to rat

You have to set yourself up to have the advantage

When wipe comes, everyone will have shitty gear in the beggining

Its important to learn how to use it effectivly

And also

Its a game

[unkempt lantern]

could someone help me please

[old mulch]

Labs is more fun than customs

Running around marking shit for prapor

[old mulch]

w/ what

[unkempt lantern]

this

[frail quarry]

idk call yo bank

[old mulch]

Tarkovs slow

Just wait

[dreamy turtle]

[daring stone]

I can't even remember what a pmc is

[merry dust]

main character type thingy

[daring stone]

ah alright

Why does tarkov have so many problem outside of the gameplay lmao

[crisp nest]

because

bsg is small

the game is in beta

etc

[daring stone]

can't install game

sadge

[crisp nest]

search up the error code

[merry dust]

for a game in beta its fuckin amazing

[daring stone]

i checked their support section on their website and it wasn't on there

[crisp nest]

search it up

like google

check reddit and eft forums

[daring stone]

yeah im checking it rn

Seeing what it says

[vague gull]

[crisp nest]

[vague gull]

[daring stone]

Clearly I need to watch more videos on EFT

[crisp nest]

my marked room is always stock m1a and ak

lol

and 1 time i just got 5k of ammo

not even 5k

[daring stone]

5k ammo is pretty damn nice tho

[crisp nest]

um

[vague gull]

i got the gcard

from it

[crisp nest]

u know that 5k is the price of like 2 bandages...

good ammo is like 2k per round

[daring stone]

5k like 5 thousands rounds of ammo right

[crisp nest]

oh no

i meant price

[daring stone]

oh lmao

alrighty then, can't say the r word here

I may just have to factory reset my pc

you know what, im just gonna do that

its gonna suck

But I will deal with it

[sacred vapor]

[pure marsh]

[sacred vapor]

thanks boys

[atomic knoll]

Try not to sell the GPU. It's needed for a quest

Or u can craft one but u need intelligence lvl 2

[vague gull]

idc about quests rn

wipe is soon

[atomic knoll]

Fair enough

[golden hinge]

wipe isn't gauranteed, and it would be good practice to do tasks for next wipe

my first wipe i hit lvl 33-35 twice (reset once) to practice for the next wipe

[crisp nest]

😮 no special role in this server

only in sherpa hub 😔

[golden hinge]

there is, i just asked for it

i'll get it eventually

[crisp nest]

ah

[golden hinge]

btw i love how reserve is right now

glad so many people are getting interested in it cuz of the event lol

[merry dust]

yup

[pure marsh]

No blue for you oh damn, he's a green boi

[merry dust]

mind if someone tries to carry me in a run

[pure marsh]

Sorry bro. I'm not doing any more teaching runs until wipe. I've been spoiled by the goon squad

[rich night]

when is wipe?

[atomic knoll]

Who knows

[rich night]

oof that sucks

[compact token]

so can grenades just choose not to play the landing noise?

are there surfaces that "cushion" grenade impacts?

like did it land in one of the plants or some shit

[pure marsh]

It's a very common bug that's been fixed like 16 times

[dry belfry]

Wouldn't be surprised if it was tomorrow

[rich night]

or next month?

[dry belfry]

Doubtful

Last wipe they did three days of events

[rich night]

ooh

[dry belfry]

Today is the third day

[rich night]

goodie

[dry belfry]

Take that for what it's worth

[rich night]

thank you

[pure marsh]

Hey Mods, what's DN?

[rich night]

[dry belfry]

Lol

[atomic knoll]

[dry belfry]

[atomic knoll]

[dry belfry]

It's wiping my man

[atomic knoll]

[rich night]

[atomic knoll]

[rich night]

[agile hatch]

@frank dagger can i play

[compact token]

what am I supposed to do about this shit

[red folio]

shoot faster

[unreal horizon]

point fire if they're that close

granted I have 0 context of that fight

[red folio]

FASTER

[supple prawn]

me and a friend just died on the main road of customs towards the bridge. Is there a better way to go towards new gas?

without dorms

[red folio]

depends on what side you're already on

can go through the warehouses, or bite the bullet and go through the forest area

[atomic knoll]

I think forest area beside dorms is generally safer

Since people usually rush the expansion area

[supple prawn]

we were going towards new gas

so we just got unlucky then? we died to a dude in a bush next to the bus stop near the blue crate with the cache

we did walk through the woods just close to the road

[red folio]

prettymuch. that area in general is a choke point for the map

[atomic knoll]

The safer route is just go all the way back to checkpoint

And head in from there

By the zb-1011 extract

[red folio]

checkpoint? that's the other side friend

[atomic knoll]

Oh sorry new gas

My bad I read old gas

For some strange reason

[red folio]

lol

[jolly lily]

who has the best guide to labs vid pettilys is 8 months old and i dont know if its to current

[atomic knoll]

Don't think labs has any changes

[compact token]

labs hasn't been updated at all

possibly backend loot spawn changes but thats impossible to confirm/deny

[supple prawn]

we were going to new gas

coming from the main bridge

[supple prawn]

should we go closer to the wall near dorms? in our case there were grenades at dorms.

i was also thinking going through the green fuel tank things near the L corner/corridor to fight scavs but not players

[atomic knoll]

Well still think forest behind dorms the safest

Since the players are busy engaging inside dorms

Most other players will be in the new construction area

[supple prawn]

so we should’ve ran from main bridge over to the sniper checkpoint (?) and along that wall while ignoring the dorms fighting?

[atomic knoll]

Try not to stick to the wall

And I won't use the main bridge

[supple prawn]

so go over the hill?

we came out around the junk bridge. I made the call to go over main bridge for more cover

[atomic knoll]

U still go that wall path where u see the vehicle extract

Just run past dorms there

[supple prawn]

which path? sorry you lost me a bit there 😅

[atomic knoll]

U know the vehicle extract?

[supple prawn]

yes!

[atomic knoll]

That path down

It has the most trees

[supple prawn]

im getting confused because you said not to stick to the wall

[atomic knoll]

Well I meant right past dorms

Once the forest expands

[supple prawn]

oki

[atomic knoll]

Stay away from the wall

Tho u can visit the small camp

[supple prawn]

go over the hill on bridge side or no?

[atomic knoll]

USB drives do spawn there

I tend not to go over the hill

[supple prawn]

im assuming not to run over the hill because it skylines me

[atomic knoll]

Yeah I run behind it

[supple prawn]

closer to the wall?

[atomic knoll]

That's the only path to vehicle extract

The front is quite near the main road

[supple prawn]

also how fast do we go past dorms? slow crouch, crouch, slow walk, walk?

[atomic knoll]

Just run

Better to get it over

[supple prawn]

the hill is a bit before the vehicle extract if i remember correctly

[atomic knoll]

Yeah

[supple prawn]

alright ill try that

[supple prawn]

would u say junk bridge is better?

the land bridge would be a bit far away if we were close to junk bridge in my opinion

[atomic knoll]

Your choice

[supple prawn]

i think in the situation i was in going main bridge was better because of the extra cover

even if it skylines more

[agile hatch]

lfg new players?

[lean tree]

I need to finish Jaeger base I would appreciate some help!

[agile hatch]

LFG

[dawn geyser]

#pvp-lfg

[paper prawn]

LABS IS FREE

[shell sundial]

there is usually end wipe thing where all scavs are raiders right? when does that comeout

[dawn geyser]

It changes every wipe.

[sand herald]

What Kwon said, but we get all bosses in reserve atm and labs free with gluhar in it

We also had killa in factory

[high tangle]

how does beginner assistance works in this game? i want to play this game for the first time and i heard that the are sherpas and they can help you

what do i have to do

[red folio]

#sherpa-info

you'll have better luck looking there

imo, just look at videos and play the game to gain experience. the sherpas are usually backed up on helping people

[copper depot]

how long do items stay in the insurance box for?

[merry dust]

?

your container?

[copper depot]

no no, when u get items back from insurance

[merry dust]

it should have a timer where it allows you to collect it

[copper depot]

my stash is so full ican't get them all back lol

[merry dust]

sell some stuff, shove it in backpacks, or just buy backpacks to fit it in

[copper depot]

oh:

Prapor is cheaper and returns your insured items after 24–36 hours. You have 4 days (96h) to collect the returned items.

no worries ill just let it sit in my mailbox until i have space haha

[merry dust]

good luck with that, i will now go do my hatchling run

[copper depot]

hatchling run?

[merry dust]

just a knife

and thats it

[copper depot]

ohhh i seeee

[merry dust]

backpack and a rig maybe

just fit shit and go

[copper depot]

good luck with that too

[merry dust]

no pvp

scavs are your greatest enemies

[copper depot]

that's how i normally play LOL

just rat the whole time

i mean i usually have a gun tho lol

[merry dust]

i do like a combo of stash run and hatchling

[copper depot]

oh yeah i do stash runs haha

[merry dust]

and scavs do have the potential to one shot

which just happened to me

1:26 alive lets goooo

best player NAE

[copper depot]

LOL

literally just now?

[merry dust]

yup

3 seconds ago

[copper depot]
