[umbral falcon]

[ebon summit]

@inner furnace Checkout #pvp-lfg if you are looking for someone to play with and what map are you lost on?

[steel verge]

@ebon summit is there any chance you could come into a raid with me and just like, gimme 1 soap and 1 toothpaste pls? LOL, sorry for ping

wait holy shit that's expensive

[velvet blade]

does this mean I'll find raiders everywhere in all maps? 😦

[unreal horizon]

correct

[velvet blade]

DUDE

[unreal horizon]

all scavs are now raiders

[velvet blade]

I JUST LOADED INTO WOODS WITH PP19

I'M FUCKED

[unreal horizon]

that's fine just headshot

[ebon summit]

Sry cant raiding on world of warcraft atm if you still need them later and i can afford them i can help you out

[velvet blade]

pp19 has ass muzzle velo

it's hard to headshot from far

[quaint flicker]

you just have to believe

[unreal horizon]

yeah idk why you'd bring an smg to woods

[steel verge]

ahh, thank thank, i could just give you the rubles for them in the raid when you drop them if you wanted?

[unreal horizon]

unless you're rushing shturman

[ebon summit]

how much are they anyway?

[inner furnace]

@ebon summit I am lost on customs I need someone to help me learn the map and teach me some other basic things...

[ebon summit]

ah tahts all good

[velvet blade]

so I'll find raiders in normal scav locations? or they're scattered randomly?

[steel verge]

soap is 48k, toothpaste is 37k

[ebon summit]

i will be on in like 3 hours ping or message me then and i can assist you

[steel verge]

ah alright, thanks! :D

[unreal horizon]

all scavs are now raiders, i'd have to assume they spawn in the exact same spots

[ebon summit]

I can help you out in a bit after i help plasy if you would like

[inner furnace]

oh ok

sur e

[ebon summit]

Yep and when scavs would respawn its raiders player scavs still have normal stuff

[velvet blade]

can raiders see me through bushes like shturman?

[ebon summit]

yes

all ai will work the same some just have more aimbotty

[unreal horizon]

sani when he smokes you through 8 trees from 500 meters away with his vss

[ebon summit]

that sounds about right

[velvet blade]

where exactly do I need to stash the food in zb 16?

[unreal horizon]

lol pick it back up

it's in the broken wooden crate in the corner, hold F on it

[ebon summit]

^^

WRONG MRE THO

caps

it needs to be the iskar one

[unreal horizon]

🦀 hehe

[velvet blade]

😦

me sad

but the water bottle still counts as subtask? or I need to survive and extract for it to count?

[ebon summit]

nope once u place it you are good

[velvet blade]

would you say passing to the other side under sawmill is a safe option? xd

or do I have to go all the way around it

[ebon summit]

depends if shturman is there

[velvet blade]

or go die and enter another raid for the zb 14 part

[ebon summit]

if he is go around

if hes not u should be fine

[unreal horizon]

the lake is usually safe

[ebon summit]

just be carefull

[velvet blade]

well personally I think raiders are equally dangerous for me lmao

[unreal horizon]

it's exposed but I don't think i've died by the lake

[rough scarab]

yea only time ive died there is if someone is farming sawmill

[velvet blade]

what about sniper scavs, there's any difference now? or same accuracy/weapons?

[ebon summit]

they dont spawn

its raiders now

[velvet blade]

oh so only mid/close range now?

[ebon summit]

sniper scavs have like svds m700s and are semi decient

and yeh

raiders will still rail you tho if they see you so just avoide them if u can

[velvet blade]

well I just got shot at from nowhere, gotta love woods

[rough scarab]

sniper scavs usually miss their first shot or two

ive never insta died from a sniper scav

unless its the out of bounds sniper scavs, those never miss

[cosmic sorrel]

anybody else having unusually long scav wait times?

[crimson heart]

watch-out for this guy joins beginner assistance voice channels and kills ppl

[velvet blade]

I had a 30 min scav queue time yesterday

[fringe lantern]

ello anyone wanna play and show me the ropes?

i die every 10 seconmds

[ebon summit]

@crimson heart Make a report and he will be banned from lfg

[rough scarab]

iif you recorded it you can report him and get him banned

[unreal horizon]

[velvet blade]

the average player wealth now is like 10m or something

[prisma gazelle]

why can you still die from hydration in extract, its so dumb, i have a second left and im out fine but no i die

[velvet blade]

because of fence event

[wise whale]

is 100k $ still a thing

[silk torrent]

I keep trying to purchase a copy of the game im checking forums and sending support tickets but i cant seem to find a solution. For the last two days i keep getting a transaction cancelled message

[fringe lantern]

[velvet blade]

I believe yes, someone told me it's until wipe

[fringe lantern]

[wise whale]

[ebon summit]

For a newbie its not bad but not good

[fringe lantern]

[ebon summit]

thats alot of kits tho

[fringe lantern]

idk how to pay rubles cus the people want other shit and i dont have flea yet

[ebon summit]

wym?

[fringe lantern]

like the base traders

[ebon summit]

yeh what about them?

[fringe lantern]

they ask for stuff i dont have

[velvet blade]

only peacekeeper requires dollars

[ebon summit]

^^^

[fringe lantern]

i see

[velvet blade]

at your level

[ebon summit]

you are doing barters

once you level them more they will sell more stuff for rubbles and dollars

[fringe lantern]

i see

how do i level them up

do they have missions

[ebon summit]

yep they will level 2 for all traders will just be money spent with them and level tho

click the trader then top left will show what you need to level them up

level 3 and 4 you will need to do quests to gain rep with them

[fringe lantern]

i see

this game is wack

love it

[open lotus]

how can i buy a pack of ammo if i dont have enough space in stash my stash is empty too

[merry dust]

inflation

[ebon summit]

make space

[open lotus]

my stash is empty

[prisma gazelle]

you shouldnt be able to die from dehydration in extract its so dumb

[open lotus]

its 40k m995

[fringe lantern]

what do i use cloth and a fuel tank for

i have no more guns why tf cant i just buy some with rubles

[ebon summit]

you got max stash size? they are prob selling alot that they needed cases to store it

[crisp nest]

^

[ebon summit]

if they had a full stash of it then ammo boxes full also you wont be able to buy it since the game cant put stuff in containers

[crisp nest]

its advertising

u cant buy it

[wise whale]

im 15 min in matching on reserve wtf

[open lotus]

should i do pk tasks to level 3 so i can buy ammo?

[floral swift]

did it wipe today ?

[ebon summit]

because its the main map everyone likes to scav plus its 100k money

no

[floral swift]

u shure?

[ebon summit]

yes its deffo worth but it will prob wipe soon so might not get much use from it

[half delta]

is the scav-pmc extract event end ?

[ebon summit]

yes i was on like a hour ago its not wiped

[ebon summit]

not that i know it should still be on

[half delta]

[ebon summit]

[open lotus]

i got killed like 8 times before doing it once

[fringe lantern]

[ebon summit]

@fringe lantern

You had bad ammo and they had high strength

[haughty tulip]

To all new players out there

[floral swift]

how can i play with people ? i have no frinds

[dire rock]

can always ask around this discord for a group, just be careful who you play with

[unborn ingot]

how do i get a mag for this

[heady furnace]

what is the usage for scissors, screwdrivers, etc?

[dire rock]

linked search it

[floral swift]

be caerful ?

[dire rock]

most are pretty useless, just sell em

[dawn hollow]

when is the wipe?

[bold kernel]

wutup everybody

[heady furnace]

thanks

[dire rock]

some people are just really toxic, the usual with any game at this point

[dire rock]

sometime next week is the current prediction

[dawn hollow]

alright

[steel verge]

hey, is ther any chance someone could give me a disposable syring and pile of medS? i need it for the medstation but i dont have flea market ;-;

i can pay back with rubles if needed too

[unborn ingot]

i cant find a mag

[dire rock]

i doubt anyone's gonna want to trade right now everyones having fun before the wipe

[steel verge]

ahh mayn, i just wanted it so i can get xp for lvl 10

[bold kernel]

are there folk here who are willing to help noobs?

[steel verge]

need it for the salewa kit

[bold kernel]

I am day 2 and literally getting my shit pushed in - I think that's the regular experience but I'm hoping to have fun in the game eventually

[dire rock]

maybe that mag isnt on the market ash is a meme gun so its possible people spam bought it

[unreal horizon]

I can in like 20 shoot me a DM so I get the noti and don't forget

[steel verge]

ah, thanks man :D

[dire rock]

well the game is going to wipe next week so until then just walk around and learn the maps is my recommendation

and yeah everyone gets their shit kicked in their first month

@unborn ingot

[bold kernel]

first month eh

[crisp nest]

i got every limb blacked

[bold kernel]

this game feels more like a fighting game than it does a tac shooter lol

[crisp nest]

he hit me with half a drum of 7n in the limbs

[dire rock]

how so?

[bold kernel]

you get your shit kicked in for a very long time before you can enjoy the game

[small cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/quby-chan-confused-huh-what-what-is-it-gif-17010842

[dire rock]

well thats just a steep learning curve, a few games have those, league for example

[small cairn]

What does that have to do with a fighting game and tac shooter?

[dire rock]

yeah i feel that

i got 100 rounds of WarMge to my legs yesterday

[crisp nest]

oh my god

why

[dire rock]

some people like their fancy glocc

[crisp nest]

we had a 5 man glock tourney on factory once

any glock, no armor

[quartz bay]

all i have is a Kalashnikov aks74u and very little knowledge of the maps. is there anyone willing to help me through?

[dire rock]

the best way to learn early is just play the game the best you can and if/when you die learn why and how to prevent it

[bold kernel]

I can

if you still need them

[steel verge]

thatd be perfect

could i get a hemostat too pls?

[bold kernel]

do not hab

[steel verge]

a h, can you nbuy them on flea market?

[bold kernel]

i dont have the flea mrket either lol

[copper depot]

anyone got tips for fighting raiders?

[steel verge]

ohhh, i gotcha

do you want me to give the rubles then?

[bold kernel]

no

[crisp nest]

pk restock in 2 mins btw

[bold kernel]

what is ur ign

[steel verge]

Plasy

[bold kernel]

what map u want to go to

[dire rock]

their just scavs with better gear, so id recommend going for longer range headshots or just rush them

[steel verge]

i dont mind, i can just stick it in my alpha container and go die or smthing LOL

[dire rock]

give them as little chance as possible to shoot at you

[wise whale]

when you extract with a scav do u get 100k?

[bold kernel]

k go factory day time

[ebon summit]

yep

[wise whale]

if u are a player?

[ebon summit]

[steel verge]

[wise whale]

[bold kernel]

[crisp nest]

[lethal flame]

far from rare

[crisp nest]

med spawns are hard to get to when ur new though

[lethal flame]

100% true

[steel verge]

ohh right, where can i get one then?

i literally need it just to make a salewa kit lmfao

i cant find anywhere that tells you where to find one either :')

[lethal flame]

do u need it for a task?

[steel verge]

yea, i need it to craft a salewa

[crisp nest]

salewa craft

[steel verge]

its for the first therapist quest

[royal belfry]

Is the fog still around

[bold kernel]

no

[royal belfry]

also youll wanna look in medical supply crates and med boxes @steel verge ,the military camp on woods has a good chunk of them along with ration supply crates for delicious beef stews

[steel verge]

yeee, i need the different food things for the jaeger quest too

[royal belfry]

yeah youll usually find them in ration supply crates

that quest is also the worst

[umbral falcon]

whats this worth on flea?

[crisp nest]

its not found in raid is it

[umbral falcon]

yes it is

[sullen gorge]

what server do you play i have keys for medrooms on interchange so i could possibly help

[crisp nest]

1m? 1.5m?

just use it lol

[umbral falcon]

im using plated tac rig

[steel verge]

i got the salewa now :D

[ivory ether]

can raiders spawn with these?

[crisp nest]

from what i know, no

[ivory ether]

oh

[unreal horizon]

never seen it

[ivory ether]

the body didnt have a dogtag so i just assumed it was a raider

[sullen gorge]

nice. if you end up needing help getting anything let me know, im just eating some food before i jump on to play labs and interchange

[ivory ether]

and no dogtag on the guy who i killed near the body

[crisp nest]

[ivory ether]

o

[earnest nest]

[velvet blade]

how to make vector shoot slower XD

the mag empties in an instant bruh

[wide umbra]

if anyone needs help, shoot me a dm

[ivory ether]

more mags

:)

[velvet blade]

bulletproof

[velvet blade]

is this enough?

[ivory ether]

what ammo

[velvet blade]

pst gzh

[ivory ether]

hm, i would run ap 6.3 or 7n31

[rigid fern]

run quakemaker

[velvet blade]

I heard quakemaker is bad :c

[rigid fern]

gt

[ivory ether]

since everyone is running expensive as hell loadouts rn

[rigid fern]

idk leg meta people

vector is fun for that

no leg armor

[ivory ether]

im running this rn

[rigid fern]

nvm yeah AP

[ivory ether]

but dont mind the helm,i just got it from another guy

[velvet blade]

which type of AP exactly?

[ivory ether]

vector, ulach, trooper, ap 6.3

[rigid fern]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/831291050306961431/857066533520277524/tenor.gif

this was me with m1a on a poor poor p scav

[ivory ether]

drum mags also work if you want some more ammo in your mags

i think the reload is a bit slower though

[ivory ether]

maybe like 4 or 5 extra mags if you think youre gonna be in a lot of fighting

[velvet blade]

there's only 24 AP 6.3 bullets on flea market xD

[ivory ether]

with ap or 7n31

[bright matrix]

Guys, could someone pretty please put up on flee market some T-5000 magazines ? I splurged on the rifle but im a noob without skier rep and I can't get additional magazines :((

[ivory ether]

idk 5 mags of 7n31 might be a little much

[velvet blade]

I swear people with level 4 traders are so fucking sugar daddied around

WHAT ARE THESE PRICES

[ivory ether]

its cause of the event

[velvet blade]

no I mean nearly all good stuff are SO CHEAP from L4 traders

[ivory ether]

oh true

im almost level 4 all traders lol, just need a few more levels

[quartz bay]

is there a way to rank to 10 quickly? im at lvl5

[ivory ether]

quests

[velvet blade]

quests, quests, quests, quests,

[quartz bay]

oof

[ivory ether]

factory also works depending on how good you are at pvp, i just ran it the last few levels to 10

kill a few scavs and gtfo lol

[gentle drum]

people stop going for the 100k usd? xd

[velvet blade]

that's no longer viable xD

[quartz bay]

yeah if i could remeber the maps lol

[ivory ether]

yeah me and a friend went to reserve as pmc and no one was there

idk

[velvet blade]

sometimes people just die enroute

[gentle drum]

well... i tried to go in as scav but...

[velvet blade]

happened with me a couple times, raiders have aimbot

[ivory ether]

ah yeah thats true, it usually works without events and stuff

[gentle drum]

thats why

[ivory ether]

just run a pistol or hatcet run pmc to reserve, dont have to spend too much

[velvet blade]

^ take a UN armor with you

I was at scav lands once with 2 other pmcs, when a scav arrived, and just as we were extracting, 1 second before, the scav shot one of the pmcs in the head

imagine waiting 20 minutes to just die

[quartz bay]

thats my inv

[crisp nest]

but theres raiders now its even better for exp

[velvet blade]

man I still find myself hearing sounds but still not being able to identify its direction 😦

[ivory ether]

so does the raider event also affect offline mode?

[velvet blade]

yes

[ivory ether]

like, if i wanted to go to customs with pve on

o

[velvet blade]

I just died to a raider in offline, because Pst. gzh is fucking trash

[ivory ether]

thats fun

lol

[velvet blade]

the full 33 round mag into his chest and he took like no damage

lol

[crisp nest]

he alsoo has higher hp

[ruby blade]

I tried a shotgun 😭

Raider don’t die lol

[velvet blade]

you definitely need good ammo in the shotgun tho

[crisp nest]

dont fight them with a shotgun

[ruby blade]

I’m lvl 3 😂

But what’s good ammo

[crisp nest]

ap20

[velvet blade]

that's not good ammo

that's the best ammo lmfao

[ruby blade]

So I probably can’t get it

[crisp nest]

???

u cannot compare buckshot to slugs

[ivory ether]

8.5 and flechette is also good

[crisp nest]

and 6.5

but not against raiders

[ivory ether]

wait so did they fix the scavs that shoot randomly in offline

[crisp nest]

only 8.5 headshots would work

or ap20

[ruby blade]

No mute lol

[velvet blade]

no I still hear random shots

[ivory ether]

ah ok

[velvet blade]

I mean I used to, before raiders event

[crisp nest]

well bosses fight other scavs btw

[ruby blade]

I feel like I loaded into a online raid because of it

[ivory ether]

dang

[quartz bay]

so im playing with a pmc on factory. and im bringing bp rounds will that be good enough cause thats all i have rn.

[crisp nest]

if thats all u have why are u asking if its good enough

[quartz bay]

for 5.45x39

[crisp nest]

u dont have other ammo

[quartz bay]

well i have t but im asking

[ruby blade]

They can buy more?

[crisp nest]

[wise whale]

[crisp nest]

mp5

[ruby blade]

Didn’t know they weren’t

But nice help

[ivory ether]

oh ive just been buying m9's and selling em to mechanic

[wise whale]

capped at 5 a day tho 😦

[crisp nest]

not mp5k

mp5

[wise whale]

kkk

[bright matrix]

Guys, can you put thermals on m700 ?

[crisp nest]

m9 also works but takes more clicks

[crisp nest]

yes

[bright matrix]

Umm can you assist please ?

[ivory ether]

woah i just realised tarkov has water physics when you shoot the water lol

[bright matrix]

I got the UNV-DLOC, but i cant mount it 😦

[ivory ether]

thats cool

[bright matrix]

Can't put it on MOD X top rail

[crisp nest]

maybe it doesnt mount on the top of that handguard

/rail

[bright matrix]

reeeee~

Thank you

[crisp nest]

im not sure

i remember pestily had a thermal m700 i think

yes u can

idk how though

[bright matrix]

Oh no, i can~! I had to get this bad boi

[crisp nest]

ah

[ivory ether]

ok so i saw this guy on reserve who unchambered the bullet in his pistol and caught it

how

that looked cool af

[velvet blade]

what's the most affordable/available grip? most good ones are rare or wiped early

(which is still good xD)

[crisp nest]

i think ctrl t

[crisp nest]

afg but its in dollars so it gets bought out

[unreal horizon]

Se-5 is great value

[crisp nest]

its 100+ k on flea rn

[mellow matrix]

giiib wiiipe

[oak fox]

what should I get from peacekeeper lvl 2 in order for the best conversion

[mellow matrix]

idk i just get m4's, mdr's and attachements

[oak fox]

ok, I thought it was like a helmet or something

[mellow matrix]

its really easy to make money rn so dont worry about having the best conversion too much

like, decent 5.56 and 308 supressors cost millions rn

raiders everywhere

and they are a goldmine,

strip their guns and sell the parts

[quartz bay]

im about to go in with nothing...

[crisp nest]

mp5

[velvet blade]

^ incorrect

<insert tongue out emoji here>

[royal belfry]

oh i think i found the raiders on other maps thats pretty wild

[velvet blade]

They're in all maps

read prapor's message

they pushed scavs away and they're roaming around now

[royal belfry]

spawn close to black bishop "oh cool i heard theres stuff there"

get smoked by killa dumping like 30 bullets of 5.45 bp into him

i wanna learn reserve because i hear its really good but

that seems really hard rn with all the scav bosses

[crisp nest]

?

the other guns u arent getting

u wont be getting an m700

they get bought out instantly

[royal jasper]

So im trying to kill raiders but every kit i bring in i die with because of them so im trying to find a budget build i can make to tap raiders with any ideas?

[crisp nest]

any good ammo

and also if u cant kill them then dont try

[velvet blade]

an easy strategy is to grab their attention then camp a spot and let them come to you instead

[royal jasper]

@velvet blade ight ill try that

[open hemlock]

you tryna kill some raiders?

[royal jasper]

yep yet i dont have gear to do so and im currently poor

[velvet blade]

if you have bad ammo, try as hard as possible as you can to aim for head, don't be dumb like me and fire 30 pst gzh into a raider's armor (then die)

[crisp nest]

but if you do do this dont peek them

once they have aggro on you and you peek them you're done

[royal jasper]

ofc im bringing a gamma full of f1s

[velvet blade]

how do people throw a nade blindly to their left?

[crisp nest]

?

[royal jasper]

no idea

[velvet blade]

the alt + s motion

[crisp nest]

do u have a clip

oh i get it

[velvet blade]

I saw Veritas do that motion but with a grenade, he threw a grenade around a corner without even peeking it

[quartz bay]

can i have some one na escort me to an extract on this scav?

[velvet blade]

which map? do I have to be from NA?

[livid hemlock]

any tips on how to get better at pvp

[quartz bay]

im wanting to go to customs

and i think so

[velvet blade]

oh I thought you're in a raid and want some assistance extracting

[quartz bay]

dont you have to be on the same server to play together?

[velvet blade]

yes

[quartz bay]

yeah im not in eu im on na

i really want this gun this scav has and i need a pmc buddy to help me to the extract.

[crisp nest]

u cant queue pmc with scav

[quartz bay]

no im saying i wish i could be so lucky to have a pmc come to scav lands in reserves if im so lucky

[crisp nest]

oh

[quartz bay]

anyone lfg rn on factory? ive decided to go there.

[meager inlet]

do you only die if your head gets to zero? or is it head and thorax?

[royal jasper]

I think its head and thorax

[meager inlet]

so if I am not getting headshots and got thorax in the first few shots on raiders/players should I continue shooting thorax?

[royal jasper]

of course head shots are the most efficient but if most of your shots hit thorax and hes hurt then yeah id try to finish him by the thorax

or really even the legs

[sour latch]

always try to aim head or thorax, but even arm shots will kill if you hit them enough times, because the damage will transfer to other parts of the body once that part has no health

hence the "leg meta", because legs cannot have armor and if you use a high flesh damage round you can kill just as quickly as a round with high penetration if you hit the legs effectively

[royal jasper]

^ yep

[sullen gorge]

anyone fancy showing me around ether reserve or shoreline, i haven't played much of ether map

[unreal imp]

If you wait pray to god they dont powerslide on you

[crisp nest]

thats killa

[grim reef]

someone scav into reserve on washington DC servers for free gear, I have been sitting here for 25 minutes and no scav is coming to extract

[marble trellis]

can someone take me to customs to get scav kills i keep going but i always die

[velvet blade]

never happened with me, scavs do that though

[unreal imp]

I got powerslided on labs by a raider

they do that very rarely

[sullen gorge]

or they cod style dropshot you

[quartz bay]

how do you get euros?

[rough scarab]

buy off skier

[soft kestrel]

mp5 from peacekeeper to mechanic

[rough scarab]

or find them in raid

[quartz bay]

i need to more of those stupid knives..

[velvet blade]

a PMAG D-60 magazine just disappeared from my stash... wtf?

[rough scarab]

what knives

and for what

[quartz bay]

the mp5 from pk

[rough scarab]

nikita is deleting items individually before wipe

just do a scav raid

probably gonna spawn with one then get a bunch off scav bodies

[quartz bay]

if i can get an extract.

[rough scarab]

i mean its not hard on a scav raid

just be cautious

[dark arrow]

yo we were just in the same raid together

we were both at scav lands

we both died to shturman lol

[velvet blade]

do night goggles emit a light when turned on?

I see a faint light cast on leaves and such when I'm in a bush

[crisp nest]

i think so but idk

[velvet blade]

does shooting while moving work at all in tarkov?

[small cairn]

I would say so

Pretty common to see someone side stepping and hip firing

[bold kernel]

Does this happen to anyone else

[small cairn]

Close game and requeue

[bold kernel]

k

[small cairn]

I have had it once or twice before, where it just queued for 15-20 min

and i just backed out

[bold kernel]

ok

[crisp nest]

whats the meta ak handguard

[unreal horizon]

stats, troy combo. style, keymod

[velvet blade]

is this my nose? 😦 can it get shot? lmao

[unreal horizon]

no

[pure mist]

it's not model, it's hit boxes

[unreal horizon]

armor protects what it says it protects

[pure mist]

yes and it doesn't matter what it look like

it might look like it doesn't cover certain part, but if it says it does, it does

[crisp nest]

hex is tiny

but it covers thorax

[velvet blade]

why do some people have two lasers on?

[umbral falcon]

best 5.56x45?

[bold kernel]

Does MP5 give you the same amount of roubles then a M9 when converting them?

[unreal horizon]

gun or ammo? regardless HK and 995

[umbral falcon]

gun

i mean ammo

[unreal horizon]

make sure you use the gangsta CQR HK rather than the cringe crux HK

[umbral falcon]

this one

[pearl jewel]

yo im like lvl 3 or 4 how should i get to lvl 10 easily to unlock flea

[unreal horizon]

dafuq is that lol

[bold kernel]

Quests give you the most XP

Fxncy

[umbral falcon]

i just bought, currently trying to mod

416a5

[unreal horizon]

I use this, if you can't buy an sdn, better off with a loud m4

[velvet blade]

I think I'm a bit confused, do you call someone a "chad" if they have good gear, or if they're skilled/have god aim?

[unreal horizon]

attitude

not skill

[pure marsh]

It's the playstyle overall. Chads are the guys that shift+w and go towards gunfire

[unreal horizon]

just a playstyle, gear and skill aren't relevant

[umbral falcon]

what foregrip do you use

[unreal horizon]

cqr

[umbral falcon]

what handgaurd?

[unreal horizon]

.

keymod

[velvet blade]

so in this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jU_2mISUpQ at 8:50 he's just being sarcastic?

[unreal horizon]

probably joking because they sucked

[pure marsh]

"Chad" and "Rat" are just general terms that have been overused. IMO Tarkov is a survival game, not a competitive shooter so camping and playing slow should be the norm

However I'm just one person and I don't care how other people play

Except for hatchet running. Fuk that

[unreal horizon]

^ fuck hatchet runners, don't kill them break their legs

[ancient cobalt]

is there any way that anyone can help me learn to survive raids

[pure marsh]

I know what you're actually asking for but just shoot them before they shoot you

[velvet blade]

earpiece > armor xD

[unreal horizon]

Obviously lol

[bold kernel]

hi

i am waiting for wipe

[unreal horizon]

Coolio

[pure marsh]

Me too

[slow night]

took out a 3 man on factory but i didnt get to loot much because i thought i heard killa and i was outta ammo

[pure marsh]

You running BS or ignolnik?

[slow night]

igolnik

[unreal horizon]

nice

buying off flea is a bitch though

[pure marsh]

I'm more of a BS kinda guy but nice 3k

[dire ruin]

Is there anyway someone can put me in beginners assistance VC

[slow night]

glad i got some more nightvision cuz that shits always sold out

[merry dust]

man I’m just tryna hit a stash and get out

I’m broke as fuck spare me slack

[unborn ingot]

best way to turn 500 USD into lots of rubles ?

[dry belfry]

Are the maps still foggy as shit

[unborn ingot]

no

[unreal horizon]

that's literally nothing

[unborn ingot]

suck my shit

[dry belfry]

The DN trade is probably the easiest conversion to roubles

[unreal horizon]

it's expensive but prob best return

[dry belfry]

No fee though compared to other methods

[slow night]

yeah i’m glad that shit don’t got a buy limit

[unborn ingot]

what dn 😳

DEEZ NUTS

[dry belfry]

ez

[unborn ingot]

17x now

[dry belfry]

Nah, I gotta say it for it to count

[pure marsh]

Yeah. Idiot

[dry belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/played-yourself-blenda-boo-played-you-played-yourself-congratulations-gif-13020707

[umbral falcon]

can i get a face shield for this?

[dry belfry]

nOPE

[umbral falcon]

damn

what helm would you recommend that i can wear a face shield and headphones

[umbral falcon]

or nvg

[ebon summit]

@umbral falcon TC800 2001 if u want something cheep

but it will prob cost alot since its end of wipe as people say

[umbral falcon]

okay

ty

[ebon summit]

or you can just buy a strap for nvgs

[umbral falcon]

oh okay

[languid sphinx]

Anyone wanna play? Need help extracting and getting loot.

[rough scarab]

damn I did labs offline and was getting my ass handed to me by raiders

13 kills though

[merry dust]

My highest was like 29 on customs

[rough scarab]

they kept blacking my arms

i checked and most were glukhar guards

I was like why do they keep spawning I didnt hit any buttons

[ebon summit]

2 packs can spawn randomly

but in offline they will just keep spawning

[merry dust]

yep infinitely

it’s annoying when you run out of ammo

[rough scarab]

yea I had to pick up one of their guns to keep fighting

my slick got zeroed too

[ruby blade]

try factory horde lol

not sure it labs is way harder never try

[rough scarab]

i usually only do high on factory

[rough scarab]

rn its kinda harder cause u have raiders and glukhar

but also raiders on every map means factory is raiders and killah

I kept dying to killah when I tried it on factory

dude would fucking zoom across the map as soon as I started killing them

[velvet mason]

if ur playing offline its really ez ai does same shit everytime ....

[ruby blade]

well

[velvet mason]

no worry of a player flanking u in the same fight

[ruby blade]

check videos

i offline and he ate em all

[rough scarab]

its easy till like 6 scavs come rushing at u and ur still healing from the last fight

[velvet mason]

use stims...

etg

[merry dust]

fuck slicks hgrids for life

[velvet mason]

bring a armor swap in your backpack

use nades to back them up for a sec

and doors

really its ez

[merry dust]

ooga booga

PLAY LIKE YOU PLAY IN A REAL GAME.

unless you’re fuckin around

so I bring like just a shitty class 4 or something

[velvet mason]

horde mode isnt like a "real game"

[merry dust]

not horde mode

but offline normally

[velvet mason]

..

[merry dust]

are you implying that offline is horde mode

fuck I’m an idiot

[velvet mason]

yes

the first thing u said that made sence

[merry dust]

there’s scav war for that so I thought you meant that

[rough scarab]

got it off a kill so ive been using it

[velvet mason]

slicks are cheaper than h grid tho

[merry dust]

fair enough, they’re going for like 2 mil last time I checked

[velvet mason]

if u do barter

[merry dust]

barter wise

with the current inflation hgrids are cheaper I think

didn’t check

[rough scarab]

both barters are pretty easy to do just by playing

[velvet mason]

i dont buy armro from flea so idk i have thicc cases full of slicks from craft and barter

[rough scarab]

except hex barter u cant put the stuff in ur container

[merry dust]

I don’t have any of my traders leveled up

all of them are level 1

[velvet mason]

u can craft the materials for slick except troopers

and they are 70-100k usually

so slick is abioutn 200k if u barter and craft

[merry dust]

I’m broke so that’s a lot for me

I’m currently sitting at 1.6~ mil

[rough scarab]

200k is like one scav raid

[merry dust]

I normally get 150

and I don’t have space in my stash

[rough scarab]

so make space

[velvet mason]

scav on reserve rn u can m ake 2mil without shooting a bullet

[merry dust]

I don’t wanna sell my hks and m4s

or hgrids

anything really

even my stm-9

[rough scarab]

whats the point of being broke and having m4s and hks

[velvet mason]

i sold 1 box of 995 i had FIR from crafting it for 15k each costs 14 mil to list

[merry dust]

making them look cool

[velvet mason]

made 50+ mil

[merry dust]

I got a fuckton of m855a1

[velvet mason]

its a joke rn

[merry dust]

If that’s what it is

I have 900 rounds of ap 6.3

around 300ish of m855a1

[rough scarab]

I have like 400 855a1

[ebon summit]

i got like 5900

[rough scarab]

Yea 400 is barely anything

[merry dust]

I have like a shit ton of random ammo I got from scav runs

[rough scarab]

I take in like 200+ rounds whenever I take an m4

[merry dust]

too lazy to sort and sell

I’ll send a pic of the mess in a sec so you guys can help me out

[rough scarab]

Just sell them in the mag

[limber rover]

whats the best way to figure out extracts at customs

[ebon summit]

i take 3 60's then 2 stacks extra

[rough scarab]

No point I’m keeping if I won’t use

[velvet mason]

its probably tras if u got it from scavs

[limber rover]

and to find them after spawn

[merry dust]

Know your left and rights

[velvet mason]

bring up a map on phone

[limber rover]

i have the map

[ebon summit]

@limber rover well if you see a big red factory you are near big red if yuou see silos you are in the industrial area

[limber rover]

thing about lefts and rights is im stupid

[ebon summit]

if you wanna hop in a vc i can tell you where you are

[merry dust]

landmarks

[limber rover]

yeah

[velvet mason]

customs is a east west map if u spawn east u exit west

[ebon summit]

join 2man 14

[merry dust]

fortress crack house bus depo new gas old gas train yard

[limber rover]

been studying up on videos and im loading into a game now with no otherobjective than to extract

[merry dust]

all of those

[limber rover]

so lets see if i can unsmooth my brain

[haughty tulip]

100k usd event still gong right?

[merry dust]

I’ll help ya out if you need it

[merry dust]

[limber rover]

my vr headset which i was using dont work for now

[merry dust]

discriminating against the younger people? wow didn’t expect that

[merry dust]

that’s honestly impressive

[velvet mason]

i dont play with kids rn my head hurts

[merry dust]

fair enough

[limber rover]

its probably a loose cord or something but i dont want to break it further]

[merry dust]

Hope you feel better

[limber rover]

[merry dust]

[limber rover]

no idea

got it yesterday

[velvet mason]

lol

[merry dust]

so we’re NEW NEW

[limber rover]

probably shoulda said that earlier

[merry dust]

what level do you think I am?

[merry dust]

eh doesn’t matter

[velvet mason]

i honestly dont care

[merry dust]

once again fair enough

can’t argue with that logic

[velvet mason]

when u played the game as long as i have its measued in wipes not levels

[merry dust]

this my first wipe

[velvet mason]

i guessed that

[merry dust]

it’s why I chill in beginners

cause I am one

[haughty tulip]

ahaha

same

damn we are gettign shot

ahaha

imagine

[merry dust]

level 13

[merry dust]

[ruby blade]

[haughty tulip]

36

[ruby blade]

grenade hehe

[merry dust]

yup

not correcting

[velvet mason]

now im guessing youre under 16 yrs old

[merry dust]

more like sharing an opinion

[merry dust]

I’m not gonna disclose anything here

but you’re free to think what you like

[velvet mason]

since we were playing guessing games

[merry dust]

moving on

[ebon summit]

u wish

[velvet mason]

[ebon summit]

[rough scarab]

Are you running a stock hk

[merry dust]

[velvet mason]

nice dude i hope u kill 10 ppl with it

then die

[merry dust]

if I’m gonna die I might as well enjoy it

actually I’ll bring this m4 I found off a labs run

[rough scarab]

I survived more memeing labs then actually trying to pvp

[merry dust]

pvping labs is either fucking or getting fucked

[pure marsh]

Me too. It makes no fucking sense

Labs PvP is ezpz

[velvet mason]

just go naked to labs with ks23 shrap 10

ez

[merry dust]

how to be a bitch:

[limber rover]

ok got it work

[merry dust]

that stuff is cruel

[rough scarab]

I brought a decent m4 and died cause I thought I killed a dude but he ate all my bullets

[pure marsh]

What? KS23 is awesome

[merry dust]

it’s evil

[velvet mason]

lol

[merry dust]

vile even

[velvet mason]

ks23 is my budget gun...

[merry dust]

disgusting

[pure marsh]

It's my main weapon

[merry dust]

[velvet mason]

lol

[slow night]

chad

[merry dust]

I’m guessing you aim for legs?

[pure marsh]

Along with 45 RIParoni, QuakeMaker or a Kedr

[velvet mason]

havnt tried the .45 much

[pure marsh]

I don't miss either

[velvet mason]

people only have 1 head but they have 2 legs

[pure marsh]

I got a 3k with it on reserves with a UMP

[merry dust]

9x19 is more my type

[rough scarab]

I fucked some dudes legs with Luger then killed him with a nade lol

Free tv rig

[ebon summit]

L,,OKLLOOLOLOLOOL

take it to labs

[unreal horizon]

it's a beam

[velvet mason]

prapor only trader now wipe confirmed

[merry dust]

it’s been there and back surprisingly

[ebon summit]

lol

did it turn anyone into blood splats on the wall tho

[merry dust]

not a single one

bullets were fired yes

did they hit no

[ebon summit]

lol

gotta kill someone with it

[merry dust]

thats gonna be a hard challenge

id have to be in their face

or dead

[ebon summit]

u get a kill i will do something

[merry dust]

do what?

[ebon summit]

idk lol

[merry dust]

fair enough

i gotta find the gun now

cuase i didnt set the preset

[ivory ether]

should i close my game before buying eod

[crisp nest]

if u get it midraid, u die but dont lose your kit

[ivory ether]

oh ok

[bold kernel]

yo i just started

i know some of the basics but i just wanna improve my general knowledge and gameplay

any1 down to help

[mighty knoll]

sure

[solar flower]

hi

what is bang and clear flash and clear and move in?

[crisp nest]

not added

the feature isnt added yet

[umbral falcon]

best comp for hk?

[unreal horizon]

sdn

good luck getting one tho

[umbral falcon]

lol they expensive?

[unreal horizon]

sell out instantly

[umbral falcon]

oh lol

can i make a buy order?

if not that would be a cool feature

like the steam market has

[unreal horizon]

lol

[umbral falcon]

good loadout except from weird hk?

[unreal horizon]

just bizarre

like make sure your loadouts are balanced

[umbral falcon]

what makes it unbalanced?

[unreal horizon]

the gun lol

[umbral falcon]

yeah

[unreal horizon]

also don't tneed pineapple juice and tushonka

[umbral falcon]

i get fatigue so fast tho

[unreal horizon]

pineapple juice has energy recovery

[pure mist]

The faceshield use the multi hit fast mt one

[crisp nest]

the tc800 is useless

[pure mist]

It’s decent helmet with the better faceshield

It’s like fast mt but without ears

[steel venture]

anyone willing to play with a new player just started 2 days ago

[crisp nest]

yeah

@pure mist but no ears is bad

theres the glitch

[bold kernel]

It's not a glitch it's just that the ear hitbox is basically the entire side of the face

[mighty palm]

I've played about 3 hours total and understand the basics, and would love to follow along with a group of decent players to see how they move, and to feed off of their scraps. Is #pvp-lfg the best for finding that? Do beginners go there as well?

[bold kernel]

Hopefully they fix that with the armor rework...

[crisp nest]

isnt there that bug where hitting the edges of the faceshield r still hitting ear too

something along those lines

[bold kernel]

Well yeah that's what I mean. Basically the face shield has no hitbox. No matter what u wear, ur hurtboxes look the same, for eyes ears nape etc

So wearing the tc with a face shield will protect top, nape, eyes and jaw hitbox, but not the ear hitbox.

And wearing an altyn u again have the same hitboxes, just better lvls of protection for all of them

[crisp nest]

altyn covers ears

[bold kernel]

Yes, but the hitbox is the same. That's all I mean

does anyone here have any tips on how to move to the objective and extracting without dying?

Go slow, make sure ur always in cover as you approach it and check common camping spots

I mean rly just check everything, that's something you have to get in the habit of

[supple prawn]

how do i bring up the emote/gesture menu thing? i tried doing a bunch of stuff with the mumble thing in the options and idk how to bring up the menu

[bold kernel]

You have to double tap the key for it, for me I double tap y

[supple prawn]

ooooh

i thought i had to hold it :0

[crisp nest]

dpuble y

f1 is mumble

double f1 is angry yells

[supple prawn]

now to sit in scav camp for like, 30 minutes

[bold kernel]

I think if ur finding urself dying a lot to people you don't expect, get some good in-game (and irl) headphones and turn it volume up a bit. It's amazing how much you're able to hear

[haughty tulip]

kids

never close a door when someone throws a nade inside

That guy did not have fun

[supple prawn]

the $100k is still a thing for pmc and scav extracting right?

[bold kernel]

Yes it's just harder now cause people are getting bored lol

[crisp nest]

yes

[supple prawn]

well at least i can hope

[haughty tulip]

yes

It takes a bit after you extract

so don't worry if you dont get it as soon as

[modest flame]

whats the fastest way to convert dolllars into roubles

[bold kernel]

Rmt

[umbral falcon]

ive been waiting at scav lands for like 20 mins

im starting to think everyone extracted im left all alone with the remaining bosses

[pure marsh]

I used M9A3s

[modest flame]

thanks

[pure mist]

M1a also works pretty good

But sometimes they’re out of stock

[bold kernel]

i see but i dont think my headset is the problem though

my headset is a hyperx cloud stinger

[haughty tulip]

Man if I go to lfg I feel I need to be a try hard

[pure mist]

In game headphones make a massive difference

[haughty tulip]

And I just want to have fun

[supple prawn]

wait do i need to do anything before getting the $100k?

am i dumb .3.

[haughty tulip]

Extract

[supple prawn]

i did

[haughty tulip]

With pmcs

?

[supple prawn]

oh

does it need to be as a scav XD

[unreal horizon]

do another raid, there's a short delay don't stress it

[supple prawn]

ah ok

[haughty tulip]

Can be either scav or pmc

[unreal horizon]

by the time ur out the money will be there

[supple prawn]

oki

[haughty tulip]

Currently reserve is one of the best maps to extract

[supple prawn]

good to know

[haughty tulip]

Just go in naked and head to the extract

Are you NAE?

[supple prawn]

idk reserve yet so im just doin some interchange

[royal belfry]

it takes a couple minutes for it to go through

[haughty tulip]

Yep

He just extracted solo tho

[supple prawn]

no i didnt

[haughty tulip]

He didn't do it with a pmc

Wut

[supple prawn]

i was at scav camp

[haughty tulip]

Did a pmc extracted with you?

[supple prawn]

i was the pmc :p

[haughty tulip]

Did a scav extracted with you

[supple prawn]

yes

[haughty tulip]

Then it should after a few mintues
