[merry dust]

lost like 600k? today so im pretty sad atm

[copper depot]

damnn 😦

[hot tree]

Rip

[copper depot]

i lost like 500k yesterday

but then on a scav run with like 5 minutes left i found an unlooted pmc with so much shit

[merry dust]

time to grind scavs in an attempt for money

[hot tree]

In gear or when healing st the dead screen

[copper depot]

and my extract was so close

it felt so stupid how easily i got that loot after dying so much before lol

[merry dust]

i only find loot AFTER my inven is full of loot

so i spend another 2 mins doing tetris and weighing pros and cons

such a time waste

[copper depot]

LOL

im bad with that too

i always just leave with less money than i could have taken out cuz i get scared

[merry dust]

i aint no pussy

i rush fortress with a knife every time

and die almost 76.94% of the time

[red folio]

whats your vitality lvl at

[merry dust]

the once or twice i do live i get like 7 roubles profit

[merry dust]

level 1

[red folio]

pmc level?

[merry dust]

i think

my scav runs have been unlucky af

dying with like 300k worth of stuff since people are rats

anything to survive ig

[median flicker]

i rate bsg wipes game

[wild osprey]

is farming part 1 the easiest to do with a 5 man=

[small cairn]

you just have to sneak up to weather station and resort, usually people leave resort after the first 10-15 min

[wild osprey]

wait did i get it wrong, i though farming part 1 was the quest where u fix red lights in factory?

[small cairn]

oh right

Im thinkin of signal

[small cairn]

Then yes, a 5 man stack defo makes it easier, although Killa will quickly make that dangerous again

[median flicker]

is there new event

[dry belfry]

Hold on, I'll ask. I'm sort of a big deal around here being the World Champ and all

Any new events?

[unreal horizon]

[dry belfry]

I wish they kept Reserve like this all the time

[proven saddle]

while its fun and all

the bosses make every other map redundant

[pure marsh]

With a 33% chance to spawn anyways bosses don't affect their base maps as much as I wish they did

[weak bough]

i just got 2 keycards and a gp coin

what do i do with gp coins?

so now i have 6 key cards 4 found in raid

[merry dust]

sell or keep like every other thing in this game

[weak bough]

nice

[merry dust]

yw btw for the amazing advice

[weak bough]

?

[merry dust]

^

[weak bough]

aah

[grizzled isle]

why cant i sell stuff

nvm im a dumbass

[candid compass]

you don`t havee money for Fee

[mortal pendant]

do all the bosses show up in reserve offline?

wanna practice shooting them 😄

[dry belfry]

Yes

[lethal pond]

@mortal pendant yes

[mortal pendant]

hot

[sand herald]

i've had this question for a while, how am i supposed to use the fact that i can hear pmcs and they can hear me to my advantage? Except from knowing where they are, of course

[dry belfry]

You have to hear them first

So play slower, and thus quieter

And you'll be able to get the jump

[sand herald]

everytime i play slower, i end up getting rushed thus i die

[mortal pendant]

it's a balancing act for me... too quiet and I hear people less often, too loud and every sound scares the shit outta me

[dry belfry]

Then you're playing slow in the wrong places

[unreal horizon]

play slower and walk passively, but if you dont push in a fight you'll probably die

[sand herald]

i know i should be playing slow in outside places

[sand herald]

yeah i have noticed that, everytime i go dorms and i go frmo the side im basically trapped cause in order to access the rest of dorms i need to jump which is loud enough

and when someone else pushes me i die

[mortal pendant]

outside for me is rush rush rush

being outside is too many different ways to get shot

[sand herald]

i believe i win most of the outside fights

but anything that's inside, i suck

[unreal horizon]

practice point firing

peaking from left is important too because your gun peaks before your chest

[mortal pendant]

I STILL have a hard time inside actually seeing people

I went into dorms, peeked twice, saw no one at all

then hard peeked

3 seconds later head eyes

turns out the guy was just sitting hard peeking the entire time and I never saw him

[unreal horizon]

do you have postfx set up?

[mortal pendant]

indoor lighting really bothers me still... outside I have zero issues

yep

even with postfx it's still so hard for me to see people inside

[unreal horizon]

I just play on 80 brightness everywhere, inside is normally fine

[mortal pendant]

I'm at 30, but I've tried even with 100 and it didn't really seem to matter much for me

[wild wind]

I’ve been thinking about buying this game for a long time and decided I’ll do it today.

Anything I should take note about to make my experience the best one possible for a beginner?

[mortal pendant]

@wild wind don't give up before reaching level 10

[dry belfry]

It won't be a good experience for a while. Just be okay with that

[mortal pendant]

the game is completely different after you hit level 10 and get access to flea market

[dry belfry]

You will suck for hours and hours and hours and then one day you'll just suck less

[unreal horizon]

play customs in offline mode to learn the map, then quest. watch lots of guides. don't go factory, reserve, or labs rn, there are events and you'll get fucked

[carmine gust]

Be sneaky. Everyone has crazy kits now and you will only win fights if you get a lucky head shot now

[wild wind]

I love permadeath games so sucking doesnt matter for me.

[dry belfry]

Then welcome aboard to narcissists anonymous

[mortal pendant]

I don't mind permadeath stuff too much, but I hope to God the next patch has gear presets

[wild wind]

Permadeath brings the challenge i want games to give

[dry belfry]

I get that

[mortal pendant]

to be fair, it's only permadeath for that match, and you don't lose XP, and after a while you'll be overflowing with gear

but yea, it's probably your type of game

[sand herald]

point firing = hip firing? or is it peak shoot very quickly

[dry belfry]

Yes, hip

[sand herald]

i know how to hip fire but not for too long range

not headshot hip though

[unreal horizon]

practice with a laser

eventually move to an ir light

[sand herald]

i ran offlines with ir light

tbh i didnt know the use of ir lights until two weeks ago

[uneven pond]

whats exactly is an ir light?

[sand herald]

it's like a very faint red light that people can barely see

it's used to improve the accuracy of your hipfire

because as known, using tactical devices improves that

[uneven pond]

I see

[unreal horizon]

functionally it's a laser but you can barely see it

[uneven pond]

other players can see my laser tho

right?

[bitter crag]

yup

[sand herald]

the ir laser?

it's like super hard

but flashlights and normal lasers, yeah

[uneven pond]

flashlights I've noticed

[sand herald]

you can also notice lasers on the walls if a PMC has them

but ir lights are practically impossible, as the user can only barely see it when facing a wall lol

[uneven pond]

scavs and raiders can't have them?

like lasers and stuff

[sand herald]

no scavs have ir lights

but they can have flashlights and i think lasers as well

classic example, scav with mp 153 sprut x400

raiders are most likely to have it

[pure marsh]

I'd suggest just using flashlights, they're bright as hell and in CQC they're pretty helpful against higher pen ammo since it "covers" from the waist up

[uneven pond]

CQC?

[dry belfry]

Carry Quarters Charlie

[uneven pond]

no clue what that is but sounds cool

[dry belfry]

Agreed

[sand herald]

Close Quarters Combat

[uneven pond]

ah

[sand herald]

aka combat in dorms, resort

[uneven pond]

ye ye

if I go into an offline raid, do I still have to bring my own guns?

[unreal horizon]

yeah but you wont lose them

[uneven pond]

alright

'cause I only got like 3 rn

[unreal horizon]

you won't gain or lose anything, when you leave/die nothing happens

[uneven pond]

so I should bring all my cheese and such?

[sand herald]

you can bring whatever you want in offline raids

you wont be losing it

[unreal horizon]

if you want to practice shooting stuff yeah, bring a bunch of ammo and meds and have fun

[pure marsh]

That's what I suggested to him in the other chat

[dry belfry]

Better ask again in a different chat

[pure marsh]

Huge brain time

[dry belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-throw-away-brain-spongebob-gif-8612783

[pure marsh]

Anytime I queue for any map

[cinder hound]

how is there like 20 people in one call in beginners assistance?

not just me right?

[pure marsh]

Mods can pull people in/out of VCs

[cinder hound]

i know

but

like 10 people in 1 chat?

[wispy needle]

What is scav karma?

[cinder hound]

How do u even

[pure marsh]

I also don't see the 10

[cinder hound]

oh okok

so its just me

[pure marsh]

No one knows really yet. Soon™

[wispy needle]

[cinder hound]

fixed

[vapid pagoda]

Was the “big news” supposed to be today or what

[pure marsh]

Wdym?

[vague sparrow]

all the beginners assistances are full lmao, does anyone wanna show me like a lootrun on customs ? im kinda new to the game

[dry belfry]

Not a lot of people will probably be willing to show you a loot run, but you can google that and find it pretty easy

Tarkov Customs Loot Run 2021 or something to that effect

[vague sparrow]

ok thx

[grizzled isle]

i just fucking exterminated some guy with Quakemaker round, he had Talyn or smth, the tachanka lookin headgear, armor class 5 vest and a fucking DOOM level Saiga 12 shotgun, i emptied 2 mags in him

with M9A3

i killed some guy as scav with AKS-74

the backbag was his

the shotgun and M4 were also his

[dry belfry]

Nice kill, congrats

[vivid grove]

how to go into offline raids?

[grizzled isle]

are there any headset which can use a strong visor or face shield with headsets

[hot tree]

Goto any map and enable offline

[unreal horizon]

Fast, airframe, wendy

[grizzled isle]

which is cheaper

[unreal horizon]

Lol

They're all stupid expensive and not worth it

[grizzled isle]

i see

[unreal horizon]

If price is a problem, don't use a helmet

[grizzled isle]

aight

[night citrus]

helmets dont do anything unless you have an altyn

sometimes exfils help

but realistically unless its an altyn/killa/reese its not goin to do a whole lot

[vivid grove]

is 5.56x45 mm 55 FMJ a decent round?

[cosmic magnet]

is the STM-9 any good or have a good build?

[night citrus]

no

no

both no's

[cosmic magnet]

dub

[night citrus]

STM-9 is kinda bad, use a pp19 or something

FMJ is good against flesh but the odds of hitting flesh with an M4

[cosmic magnet]

i just stick to my shrimpp pistol

[night citrus]

you want penetrating rounds

[vivid grove]

dont have an m4

[night citrus]

doesnt matter

FMJ rounds are only good against flesh

[vivid grove]

kk

[dark arrow]

it doesn't have any armour penetration

[night citrus]

youd want 56A1

or 55

[night citrus]

shrimp is a legit pistol. i love it

[cosmic magnet]

literally the most overpowered thing in the game in the right hands, im full on 007

[night citrus]

its how new players should be playing, lurking around going for 1 taps

its how you learn the game the best

[dry belfry]

I generally buy into this, but I've gotten ricochets TWICE this week which is wild

[night citrus]

went to labs yesterday and ate 3 m61 to the head and killed the kid

i was shook

[cosmic magnet]

gotta buy penis helmet for ricochet

cheap

[dry belfry]

Yea, it's like the scariest thing lol

[night citrus]

@cosmic magnet we're at the point now in the wipe where a helmet wont save much

unless its a specific 3 or 4

[dry belfry]

The barter for the ratnik is probably the way to go if you are anti-helmet

[cosmic magnet]

yea thats true

[dark arrow]

i generally dont wear helmets when going to do quests

[night citrus]

55a1 will 1 tap like 66% of the time through exfils?

i think thats the %

but like 12% for altyns and reece and all them

[cosmic magnet]

i always throw a helmet on just in case im havin shit aim on a scav

[night citrus]

993/995 will 1 tap

[proven saddle]

i just got one tapped by one of gluhars boys with 556a1

[night citrus]

yea

[proven saddle]

through exfil

like

bruh

[night citrus]

yea

[cosmic magnet]

yea i usually jsut get shit on by 55A1

at all times

[proven saddle]

56a1 not 55a1

[night citrus]

yeah

[dry belfry]

That's pretty much how 55a1 works lol

[night citrus]

i have a magbox full of 55A1 rn

[proven saddle]

its so shit when i use it but gluhar and the boys are on meth

[night citrus]

yeah 56a1 is dog shit

dont use it

rememebr guards have a lot better aim than you

lol

[cosmic magnet]

yea what 55A1 is so much better

[proven saddle]

stil

1 tap through exfil

[night citrus]

and they can see you coming from a lot farther than you

ive been running 995 and its insanely better

[cosmic magnet]

yea 995 is nuts

[proven saddle]

i mean it gives you an advantage for sure but better skills always wins

[night citrus]

yea

i have 700 raids and like almost 800 hours

[proven saddle]

ive been dropping boys with 545 igolnik left and right

[night citrus]

this my first wipe

yeah i been liking aks too

me and my buddy been running them a lot and theyre super good

[dark arrow]

i only have bs ammo

[night citrus]

great buff nikita

[proven saddle]

you can only craft or fir

[cosmic magnet]

yea this is my first wipe but i started so late and i get heavily shit on

[proven saddle]

or buy it on flea ofc

[dark arrow]

im not going to do questing this week

just pvp, i want to have fun

i have been going on labs a lot

[night citrus]

yeah i dont wana finish questing

im not too far from kappa

[proven saddle]

fuck quests

[night citrus]

but im just pvping now

nah

[proven saddle]

waste your money

[night citrus]

you gotta quest to 40 to be able to afford pvp lol

[proven saddle]

ive got 20 mil and nothing to spend it on

[dark arrow]

yeah i have 2000 roubles in my stash left

[proven saddle]

i just keep making more

[dark arrow]

and only a few guns

[proven saddle]

i would have thought with current prices losing money would be easier

[dark arrow]

but it helps me to lose the guns instead of losing them to a wipe

[proven saddle]

exactly

[night citrus]

nah i want the wipe to take everything

i play enough so i cant fucking wait for a new wipe

[dark arrow]

this is my first wipe and of course in the beginning it was horror

but i would say i've grown into an intermediate player

[proven saddle]

youre prob better than you think

[night citrus]

theres just a lot of assholes like me running around

[proven saddle]

being good doesnt mean having 100 mil roubles and prefireing every corner

[night citrus]

youre deff better than you think

i just had some boys whove been playing for all the wipes teach me shit

i had to catch up to them cause those mf are who im afraid of

the pace they have is insane

[dark arrow]

i guess so

[proven saddle]

playing fast doesnt mean theyre better

[dark arrow]

in any fps game i play, i have a incredibly aggressive playstyle lmao

[night citrus]

yeah they are

[proven saddle]

different playstyles for different people

[dark arrow]

and i had to adapt into how an aggressive playstyle works for this game

[night citrus]

theyre the types of landmark players

[dark arrow]

and im still learning

[night citrus]

W key

[proven saddle]

so theyre playing co

cod

cod but you have to heal

[night citrus]

yeah

thats what i do now

i just been running interchange w an rsass

[proven saddle]

ive tried and its nowhere near as fun for me

[night citrus]

ahh pvp is all i want lol

i hear shots and i run to them

[proven saddle]

same

but i dont W key

[night citrus]

its like apex legends

[proven saddle]

i play slow and tactical

[night citrus]

or just rush and be tactical too

dont get me wrong we deff die cause of it but its a more fun way to play imho

cant be afraid of tarkov

tarkov needs to be afraid of u

[proven saddle]

im not

[night citrus]

blue stim every raid bb

yo green stims being 180k isnt ok

[proven saddle]

im confident i kill a w key warrior 90% of the time

[night citrus]

youre lucky youre on EU

[proven saddle]

i get killed by players that play like me way more often

[night citrus]

yea thats why i stopped going customs

too slow pace of a map

[proven saddle]

slow??

woods is slow

[night citrus]

compared to interchange or labs yeah very slow

[proven saddle]

customs is the equivalent of taking crack and meth at the same time

[unreal horizon]

playing fast on IC is an easy way to get shit on lol

[night citrus]

i do not agree at all lol

nah i just run front and back hallways 2nd floor

[proven saddle]

i mean it slows down quick tbh

but the start is chaos

[night citrus]

then take 11sr

[cosmic magnet]

i just be runnin interchange alot nowadays, lots of action and easy loot

[night citrus]

i think customs is boring ngl

not a lot happens cause its only dorms and fortress

[grizzled isle]

what is this?

[proven saddle]

streamer

[night citrus]

those are community members/streamers

[proven saddle]

lots of action? ive been struggling to even get into a raid

[night citrus]

yeah

interchange has SLOWED down a lot with fights

[cosmic magnet]

really takes me about 2 minutes

[night citrus]

since gpu and btc nerf

[proven saddle]

ye

[cosmic magnet]

then a run a scav and fuck around with people

[night citrus]

legit no one juicy anymore

[proven saddle]

mine takes like 10 and then pulls me the fuck out

[night citrus]

damn that sucks

i load in quick

[cosmic magnet]

im on NAE most likely why

[proven saddle]

its not loading, its the matchmaking

[night citrus]

yeah

im NAE too spicy

so fast for all maps

[proven saddle]

hm

weird

[cosmic magnet]

yea i get into matches so fast

[night citrus]

only like 2 min max matching

ever

[cosmic magnet]

but when i quest i just switch location to st petersburg its dead af there

[night citrus]

ngl

i never thought of doing that

wouldve saved me so much time in shoreline

[cosmic magnet]

yea gotta switch to st peters, russia

[frail quarry]

i got server connection loss and i got a solid 4 bars of wifi and im not banned

wtf happenme

[proven saddle]

happens

just load back in

[night citrus]

not a lot people rn

[cosmic magnet]

yea your always able to load back in

[proven saddle]

ye exactly

interchange ded rn

[cosmic magnet]

yea its dead but its the onyl map i know hella well

everything else makes me feel so lost

[proven saddle]

its prob the easiest to navigate

[cosmic magnet]

thats what im sayin

[proven saddle]

except customs i guess

[proven saddle]

what backpack is that

[torpid knoll]

anyone wanna duo? havent played in months and a bit behind the curve looking to do whatever

[proven saddle]

attack2?

[proven saddle]

im down if youre EU

[torpid knoll]

na sorry buddy

[proven saddle]

ah

[cosmic magnet]

what maps you play

[night citrus]

attack2

[torpid knoll]

i know interchange customs reserve mostly a bit unfamiliar on maps like shoreline woods etc

[proven saddle]

looked weird in the pic idk

[night citrus]

fuckin died last raid in labs and lost my raid bp

took out a 3 squad but me and the last kid traded

i was upset

[proven saddle]

ive been stocking up on couch packs

everyone has em on labs

[night citrus]

ive used so many the past couple days

[cosmic magnet]

ah alright

[night citrus]

the wipe is deff coming soon

so im trying to BLOW it

[proven saddle]

yup

[torpid knoll]

yeah im jusy tryna warm up for next week mostly

[night citrus]

just go run factory and get used to pvp again then

youll be fine quick

[proven saddle]

youll be dead

[night citrus]

oh yeah

forgot

[proven saddle]

at the hands of killa

[night citrus]

killa in factory

LOL

so is killa in interchange, factory, and reserve rn?

[proven saddle]

yup

[night citrus]

damn killa wtf do you eat bro

[proven saddle]

i mean i assume hes still on IC

[night citrus]

hes movin around so fast

[proven saddle]

havent seen him

[latent tide]

the only map i know is customs

[cosmic magnet]

and soon new players wont be able to run factory to learn things cause there gonna expand it and add a boss

[night citrus]

i never thought factory is a newbie map

its a pvp map

[proven saddle]

factory is just bad for learning

[latent tide]

made it out 3 times in a row on it now

just got the game last night

[proven saddle]

customs too imo

[cosmic magnet]

i started on it cause its tiny and there were scavs for me to shoot at

then i went to interchange and labs and now im stuck there

[night citrus]

nah customs is totally a beginner map

it has a little bit of everything

and all quests start there

its the chads that make it difficult but thats tarkov

[latent tide]

customs easy to find exits as a noob

in my experience

[night citrus]

yea

[proven saddle]

all maps are easy in terms of exits

[night citrus]

lol

[proven saddle]

except labs and reserve

[night citrus]

maybe in EU

most NA has a lot of exfil campers and fights toward extracts

and also most maps arent as straight forward as customs

[cosmic magnet]

hate extract campers

[proven saddle]

hate the game not the player

[night citrus]

yea idgaf about it

if someone wants to try and do that shit ima try and get at least one o them

[latent tide]

Lol I thought one guy was extracting, so i let him go in ahead of me and didn't bother him (he didn't know i existed because i lay low)

he got exit camped 😦

[night citrus]

he was the bait

[proven saddle]

the old bait n switch

[latent tide]

i shot at the camper and he ran

if i would have had a rifle instead of some 9mm i could have dropped him but i just injured him

[night citrus]

shooting peas at him

[latent tide]

he got scared tho lol

i mean you can tell it's a pea shooter

no bullet cracks, wimpy ass gunshots

still, a bullet is a bullet i guess

all it takes is one pea to hit your face instead of helmet

[night citrus]

yeah

but ive had to stop using them cause of all the altyn and slicks people wear

even a vector with 7n isnt that great

[pure marsh]

Just go for leg meta these days. It's more consistent and cheap the trying to pen everything

[night citrus]

yeah no

ill pass on that

[latent tide]

lol leg meta

[night citrus]

i will NEVER use a ks23

how dare you even say that

its the rattiest puss method possible

pvp like a real man and eat some 995 to the chest

[latent tide]

How far along is the ballistics and everything in this game

[night citrus]

bullets matter more than the guns

you can have a dog shit gun with great ammo and succeed

[latent tide]

I come from arma where with mods we have coriolis effect and stuff

[night citrus]

yeah theres drop

and velocity

[pure marsh]

There's more than the KS23, 9x19 rip and QuakeMaker, 9x18, 8.5 buckshot, 45 RIParoni

[night citrus]

and all that

maps arent big enough for coriolis @latent tide

[night citrus]

yeah but if youre using an smg with those ammos youll die every time

[latent tide]

well yeah but im just saying that penetration, travel times, etc.

[night citrus]

ks23 is the only actual leg meta gun

[night citrus]

yes everything

bullets come from barel not sight

[latent tide]

im not sniping at 1000m lol

[pure marsh]

Not true at all. I have clips to show differently

[latent tide]

but everything that you would expect for these ranges is pretty much there

[night citrus]

if someone came at me with 9x18 or 45 rip theyll be chewed up

lol

[pure marsh]

All I do really is leg meta anymore. It's super easy and viable

[night citrus]

ks23 or ap20 get me every time

[unreal horizon]

you're not beating 45 rip, sorry

4 rounds at 1100 rpm is hard to contest

[night citrus]

Sure

[pure marsh]

45 rip will kill you almost instantly

[night citrus]

ive killed people who have blacked a single leg and arm of mine

i havent died to 45 rip or quakemaker

ever

only ks23

shrap10s and 25s

[pure marsh]

Because no one uses it despite how viable it is

Except for me I guess

[night citrus]

i dont get mad at tarkov but when i get 1 tapped by legs by ks23

i have to walk away from pc

[pure marsh]

This you?

[night citrus]

nah lol i sent a pic of my name above

that guys name first tho

lolol

[bold kernel]

I need someone or a squad to help me learn factory

[wild osprey]

hey whats the easiest way to spend money with peacekeeper?

i need to spend like 10k more $ to level him up

[unreal horizon]

easiest is buying dollars

[latent tide]

one tap to the legs?

[night citrus]

shrapnel 10s will 1 shot to the legs at 10m

[unreal horizon]

shrap10 and 25 are pretty interchangeable

[night citrus]

yea

they are

[latent tide]

i feel like the only thing that should instakill you when it hits your leg is a 12.7

[night citrus]

yeah i think its stupid you die from it

[latent tide]

is it like explosive shotgun shell?

[pure marsh]

It's pretty balanced imo

[night citrus]

shrapnel round

[unreal horizon]

idk about balanced, but it's no more broken than something like m61

[pure marsh]

I mean you have to hit the one part that's in cover most of the time

[unreal horizon]

fair

[night citrus]

but you lay in a bush till soemone runs by and their legs are infront of you

[unreal horizon]

create an environment where you'll win, that's fair play

[viscid tusk]

Hi I am new

[bold kernel]

im gonna d2 camp for the end of the wipe now

[unreal horizon]

based

[bold kernel]

bay zed

on NA ofc

might d2 camp erv1s

[dry belfry]

Fuck can I commission you to write my biography

[pure marsh]

High pen ammo is ez mode. Just hit the head or thorax

[bold kernel]

how much monkey can i make in an hour of d2 camping

money

why tf did i say monkey

[pure marsh]

2 monkey at least

[proven saddle]

anywhere between 0 and a couple mil

[unreal horizon]

idk but night rr is 📈 📈

[unkempt ingot]

is the labs weapon testing area key expensive?

[night citrus]

yea i dont run 995/993 all the time

55A1 or m61

[pure marsh]

Exactly

[proven saddle]

learning alongside a map is good

learning just from a map is terrible

[night citrus]

correct

you cant learn anything just by looking at these maps

need to use them hand in hand

[pure marsh]

is the 4.6x30mm subsonic worth taking if you have a suppressor on your MP7, or is the sound reduction not noticeable

[bronze ice]

Subsonic ammo doesn't have a different sound yet

[bold kernel]

really? that sucks

ok AP rounds it is

[bronze ice]

Wouldn't recommend the MP7 to a beginner though

[turbid dawn]

should i sell dog tags?

[night citrus]

yes

[turbid dawn]

[prisma pecan]

@copper torrent can you help me?

[bold kernel]

I m getting kicked like 10 times in a row how to fix

[red folio]

kicked how

[bold kernel]

Anyone has any money making routes that they would like to teach a beginner, cuz im in need of one

[pure mist]

sry can't help you my money routes include pvp

[bold kernel]

Im quite decent at pvp-ing but I'm not gonna bother you brother.

[pure mist]

i can just type it now if you want

[bold kernel]

If you have time to do it, then Heck yeah partner

[pure mist]

if you spawn big red side, crack-repairshop cache-fortress-cache near fortress-rail cache-old gas caches-power-fortress-extract or you can go loot usec side

[copper torrent]

lfg on costoms helping PLAYERS lvl 1 to 10 na dm me

[pure mist]

if you spawn zb11 side, usec and buildings near it, all the cache near it-power-fortress-cache along the way-crack-back to fortress-use power extract

there's good money and decent pvp by that route

[bold kernel]

I appreciate it brother but don't run customs that often, I mainly play woods, interchange

[pure mist]

woods is just caches lol

and 2 camps

[inland cliff]

am i gay if i suck so much at pvp that i run shoreline and woods to feel good about myself

[bold kernel]

I go there for Shturman

[pure mist]

i wish he spawns more

[bold kernel]

You get some players if you don't manage to kill him tho

[pure mist]

love killing him for money, hes a potato

[bold kernel]

Ikr😂

[pure mist]

i literally killed entire gang with a pistol

and didn't take single damage

creep walk for 1 minute and just head tap them all

lmao

[bold kernel]

You just need to avoid their LOS

And you'll be fine

[pure mist]

pretty much

they're really stupid lol

[bold kernel]

Lol

[pure mist]

hes good money since he got that key

[bold kernel]

Well does anyone have like a specific loot route for interchange?

[bold kernel]

Yep

[pure mist]

interchange is just basically ultra med, tech stores, safe room and 21sr

and kiba

i just hit those real quick and kill killa if he spawns

[bold kernel]

I mean most ppl make about 600k to 700k in a raid

I wanna learn customs but no one really wants to teach me and shit

They usually just think about lootin 😂

[pure mist]

too bad ur eu otherwise i can teach you

[red folio]

define teaching then

[bold kernel]

Wait

What part of NA are you from?

[pure mist]

east

[bold kernel]

Brother I don't even know the call outs

[pure mist]

right here on the coast brother

[bold kernel]

They don't even tell me that shit

[red folio]

google a map of customs.

[pure mist]

i find map genie the most helpful regarding learning

[bold kernel]

I think I can play with you on your servers homie, but if you don't want to then you don't really have to

[pure mist]

i'll be on later tonight or tomorrow est time that is

i'll dm you if i'm on

[bold kernel]

Aight brother

Appreciate it

[pure mist]

I haven't try to make money in a while now lol

just been trying to burn my money before wipe

[bold kernel]

Lol

[pure mist]

i still got 6 mil to burn

i was at 30 mil a little while ago

[bold kernel]

I feel that brother

I played for like a good 300hrs last wipe

But I ONLY played shorelines

[naive depot]

i have routes for every spawn

[bold kernel]

Sheesh

Mind helpin me out brother?

[naive depot]

maybe

[bold kernel]

I don't really enjoy playing shoreline brother cuz it's full of rats now days

And you don't really get to have pvp

[naive depot]

what part of eu are you in

[bold kernel]

Uk

I could play on any servers

[pure mist]

shoreline right now is too dead, ima start play shoreline again when the game wipes

[bold kernel]

Except Australia

[naive depot]

what level are you?

[bold kernel]

Its wayyy to ded

[bold kernel]

14

But I got my shit up

Just need to earn some decent money

well its not the best, but i think this would do

[inland cliff]

good kit

if you have ap

[bold kernel]

luger...

[inland cliff]

its worth to buy one mag of ap

[bold kernel]

im low on money brother

ik its worth it

but im gonna let meta ppl

ig

[inland cliff]

gl with that lol

i would still go for head

[pure mist]

you really need 7n to make that kit viable cuz any other 9mm ammo just gonna make the gun a pea shooter

[bold kernel]

F

[pure mist]

lugar is for leg meta

that point might as well use rip ammo

also you might want a hemo so you don't use your med kits that fast and hemo faster

[bold kernel]

oh yeah

[pure mist]

i'd always bring some nades

otherwise it looks good

[bold kernel]

kk

Id even know what im gonna be runin

im just waitin to find someone who i can play interchange with

[pure mist]

heard they gonna make day interchange brighter

that's when im gonna start running interchange again

[bold kernel]

well i got like 50 ap rounds

even though thats not enough

[pure mist]

just go for the head it should be fine

[bold kernel]

ig its a bit now

[pure mist]

that's good i think, i just run mp7, i highly recommend it when you get max traders

it's like the best gun for budget to hero

[bold kernel]

I like the mp9 better

because if the higher rate of fire that it has

[pure mist]

mp7 also 900

950 actually

i use the mp7 mainly cuz ap sx can pen level 5 reliably

[bold kernel]

fair enough

[pure mist]

but mp7 is really expensive without max traders

[hollow minnow]

Buying an mp7

[pure mist]

i use mp7 to shit on some high level chads on labs

it's 50k without suppressor 100k with suppressor

[bold kernel]

its that budget 😐

sheesh

[dire rock]

while i dont mean to talk bad about my favorite bullet hose, i cannot recommend the mp9 as a reliable gun for actual combat it is far too inaccurate and wastes ammo like its cheap, i love that brrt machine but be careful about when and how you use it

[pure mist]

it's not that cheap but it can shit on chads and don't lose too much if you die

[pure marsh]

QuakeMaker and legs brother at 1100 RPM

[pure mist]

i go rippppppp

[dire rock]

trust me ive been shredding legs with the mp9 since before quakemaker was a thing but its just not reliable its great for just fucking around and having some fun though

[pure marsh]

I beg to differ

[open hemlock]

idk, personally the only leg meta that works for me is ks-23

[bold kernel]

i dont really understand the point of the beginner assistance voice, you barely find any beginners in them, and most ppl who seat there, are just weird or they act weird, no offence to anyone btw

[open hemlock]

I just cant get others to work lol

[bold kernel]

Factory MP9, is just somethin different

[pure mist]

@pure marsh lmao

that's funny

[dire rock]

well i dont run factory, and if it works for you then go ahead

[pure marsh]

It's facts though. That's why I stay here and avoid the voice channels

[pure mist]

same

[pure marsh]

Well obviously it's playstyle dependent, while I might be able to pro out on leg meta, other people can't. That's okay and the point of Tarkov. There's something for everyone

[pure mist]

technically i'm still a "beginner"

but not really lmao

[bold kernel]

Sauce or Sus or S Ause huh

[hearty flare]

right im really struggling to play tarkov!! i play fps games alot and i would say im decent at some fps games. tarkov is a whole another level of hard. i always reinstall the game and think this time im gonna try and i always get some good gear on and just get killed 5 mins into the raid so i can never get quests done and im just stuck in low levels. can anyone help me please??

[unreal horizon]

play slower it's not your average fps game

play it like a survival game, it is

[pure mist]

whenever im in dorms it's cod time

[hearty flare]

i do tend to play the game slow and try to survive but i just get headshot by some big pmc constantly

[unreal horizon]

learn the maps better

generally if you're dying to people you see, buy better ammo. If you're dying to people you don't see, review your map knowledge

[bold kernel]

😂

[hearty flare]

like for example i was just killed on the road where the gas station is on customs by someone i didnt see. i was taking it slow and was looting around for some salewa kits for my quest.

[unreal horizon]

you're in the open on the road, what would you expect?

gas station is also something of a POI

and just a bad chokepoint

[hearty flare]

@unreal horizon what would u say i need to do to improve my game then??

[unreal horizon]

play more idk

just takes hours

[open hemlock]

Dont hang around the big choke points, specially where scav boss spawns sometimes

[unreal horizon]

when you die think about what happened and how you'll avoid it next time

[pure marsh]

Shadow play will help

[bold kernel]

tarkov needs a fucking rank system

so that i can grind the shit out of this game

[plush tree]

lvl and get kappa

[pure marsh]

It does. It's called trader levels

[bold kernel]

had kappa before

[plush tree]

cool what's the point of a ranked system in this game

[bold kernel]

theyre gonna add it eventually

not in classic tarkov but theyll add it

Someone explain i had class 6 armor and helmet and i get 1 shot from player scav

wat

edshot

into the eyes

im quitting this game

i had face shield too

jaw moment

[unreal horizon]

there's a chance any bullet pens anything

[bold kernel]

shotgun from like 30 feet can pen anything?

[unreal horizon]

git gud

[pure marsh]

I could one shot you for sure. At most 2-4 shots

[bold kernel]

yes

get dicked on by player scav

1.2 million armor gone

[unreal horizon]

like idk what to tell you, you got fucked by tarkov

[bold kernel]

isnt it funny how i got banned 3 times from this chat

[pure mist]

what amour is that

[bold kernel]

who wouldve thought

dis game is bad

[unreal horizon]

ye

[pure marsh]

Agreed

[pure mist]

what faceshield? ps ammo can pen your airframe or team wendy

[pure marsh]

Vulkan w/ faceshield?

[pure mist]

idk why people wear the vulkan

just wear altyn or rys

[bold kernel]

rys

[pure mist]

idk what scav ammo can one shot level 5 faceshield

[unreal horizon]

I use altyn, rys has better penalties but fuck buying barter items

any

always a chance

just got bad rng

[bold kernel]

rat right here

[pure marsh]

What ammo got you?

[bold kernel]

idk

[pure mist]

...

[pure marsh]

How do you not know? That Pscav could have picked up some assholes gun with m61

[bold kernel]

i dont know wht amo was i his shotgun how would i

[pure marsh]

It shows in the health screen after raid

[bold kernel]

i didnt know dat

[pure mist]

there is no shotgun ammo that pen level 5 as far as I know

[pure mist]

"let the math do the talking"

[bold kernel]

ok well im just mad cuz thats the best raid ive ever had and some scav just walks up and take like 2 mil from me

[unreal horizon]

it'll happen again 🤷

[pure marsh]

And again

[bold kernel]

i have less than you start with and i have 2k roubles

see im rich

[pure mist]

idk why u wear such expensive amour and helmet when ur broke

[bold kernel]

cuz people said too and it worked i killed 2 geared people then i die too scav

i uninstall game

[pure mist]

that happen to me daily lmaooo

[bold kernel]

but first i become rat

ok

[pure marsh]

Welp. See ya when you come back

[grand apex]

lol

cuz you WILL come back

[bold kernel]

what a fuckinjg pussy

hes running a slick and a vector

but he camped in a room against my sks

[grand apex]

kill him?

[crystal geyser]

Yo huge question.. are my footsteps (walking or running) as loud to other players as they are to me? Lol I feel like a fkn dump truck going 100mph through a forest sometimes catching all the bushes an shit lol

[sly goblet]

Depends how far they are

[pure marsh]

The bushes yes but your footsteps not so much. It's depends on who's listening tbh

[crystal geyser]

@pure marsh thanks cus to me they sound loud af.

[pure mist]

true, i have my headphone wayyyyy up so i can hear shit from quite some distance

[pure marsh]

Like I can hear you in two story dorms while I'm in three story but I sound whore a lot

[open hemlock]

it make any sense to hide in a bathroom till raiders start spawning on you in labs?

[bold kernel]

no

[pure marsh]

I agree with no

[pure mist]

no

[bold kernel]

im about to just run ks on labs

pull out my old baby

[pure marsh]

Go push the buttons like the rest of us and get them feet wet

[modern swallow]

I killed an entire squad of ks yesterday

i hope that wasn't you xd

[bold kernel]

i killed an entire squad with ks

[pure marsh]

Same

[bold kernel]

then i got called a dirty cheater

[pure marsh]

Not same
