[worldly python]

I find more BT than BP

[merry dust]

[merry dust]

I ATE SOME BRO

[unreal horizon]

yumby mayo

[hollow sparrow]

[unreal horizon]

they do not

progress saves

[hollow sparrow]

thank christ

[merry dust]

i do need it

[hollow sparrow]

it would be a major bitch to keep losing iskras every run

[worldly python]

I need to get 2 or 3 more t plugs

and then it's mine

[bold kernel]

@merry dust get your ass into reserve LFG nighttime

lucky that im doing loot runs rn

[elder saddle]

[worldly python]

Food is ezpz to get rn

Time to finish these Jaeger quests

[elder saddle]

[worldly python]

My mans just wants kill XP in exchange

[merry dust]

inven space is fucked

[bold kernel]

aight

[pulsar compass]

how long does it take to get to lvl 20?

[bold kernel]

like 2 days

maybe 1

[dawn geyser]

Lol it depends on how experienced you are

[unreal horizon]

if you're new, probably a week or so, depends on your playstyle and how much you play

[dawn geyser]

I would say ~1 week for a first wiper

[worldly python]

If you're grinding quests and doing heavy pvp

it can take a day

[elder saddle]

i have almost filled my scav box

oh no

[merry dust]

kpop fan you hold a special place in my heart ngl

[merry dust]

mines been filled

[worldly python]

anyone else getting INSANE packet loss?

[dawn geyser]

Grab a second one!

[fallow spade]

you cant

limited to 1 per person

[unreal horizon]

personally no, heard some servers are shitting out though

[dawn geyser]

When it's off cooldown silly!

[bold kernel]

Kpop

one of the only music genre i dont tolerate

[dawn geyser]

You can get one per person per trader reset.

[unreal horizon]

kpoop

[bold kernel]

facts

[fallow spade]

oh

[worldly python]

L

[unreal horizon]

if you like it cool, defo not for me though

[bold kernel]

enjoying my time lvling my sniper skill

[merry dust]

stop shitting on kpop fan man

[olive turret]

is the rig filled with lps?

[bold kernel]

nah i got like 150 snb on me

im loot running

[steel cape]

do scavs get "blinded" by flashlights at night?

[bold kernel]

while lvling sniper

[merry dust]

it dazes em for a sec or two

i think

[worldly python]

not really

[dawn geyser]

Doesn't effect them

[worldly python]

if they agro to you, youll get shot either way

[leaden falcon]

What ammo should i use and sell?

[dawn geyser]

What level are you?

[leaden falcon]

4

[silver beacon]

i didnt even get lvl 10 last wipe 😅

[dawn geyser]

7mm bksht / 7.5mm, .366 fmj, HP 5.45

Everything else use since you're lower level

If you intend on using shotguns just keep the 7mm bkshot

[leaden falcon]

ok so sell the ones you mentioned

[dawn geyser]

You have no access to anything

[sharp garden]

I forget doesd anyone know if you get negative rep from killing raiders?

/scav bodyguards

[bold kernel]

u dont

they fixed it

[dawn geyser]

Bodygaurds, yes - Raiders, no

[olive turret]

make sure it isnt a boss guard cause that = -rep

[silver beacon]

i needa give therapist 2 salewas and i put them in my pouch does that get rid of found in raid status?

[dawn geyser]

If you die, it loses the FIR status

If you keep it in your butthole, survive extraction - It will keep the FIR status

[sharp garden]

I'm sure it would be if it is the boss spawn on the middle of customs

[olive turret]

if you die or get a run through or the salewa was brought in by a pmc

[silver beacon]

lmao well i got pushed my a 3 man after killing a random lvl 3 for em so ye i did die

[sharp garden]

with the mounted guns

[olive turret]

yeah raiders dont spawn on customs

raiders are only on labs and reserve

[silver beacon]

do u lose fence rep for killing scavs as a scav then bcs i had that happen i think

[full garden]

how do you gain scav karma

[dawn geyser]

-.05 for Players scavs that have not been marked

[silver beacon]

marked?

[dawn geyser]

Killing marked player scavs, PMCs, extracting with a friendly PMC, extracting as a PMC through paid exits

[full garden]

how much do you get from doing those

[dawn geyser]

Marked meaning players that have killed friendly bot/playerscavs

[silver beacon]

kk thx

[dawn geyser]

Don't know the exact numbers.

[full garden]

ok

[dawn geyser]

+0.1 for Marked player scavs

[unreal horizon]

and .01 for a PMC, makes no sense tbh

[silver beacon]

oh ye whats the easiest map to learn i keep running out of time looking for extracts

[dawn geyser]

Not .01 for a marked player scav

0.1

[unreal horizon]

PMC rather, mb

[dawn geyser]

Ah yeah

Not at all

[unreal horizon]

which seems super low to me but whatever

[dawn geyser]

I feel like it should actually be like .15 for a pmc

lmao

[unreal horizon]

yeah 100%

It's kinda cool having the kill confirmation though

no more "did i hit that?" it just pops up

though none of the PMCs i killed today as a scav counted

[fallow spade]

shoreline

[tight ember]

how can I change reticle. I picked gun and it has different one than usually

[fallow spade]

i think it’s the easiest to learn

[unreal horizon]

can't on that one

[dawn geyser]

That one only has one.

[unreal horizon]

dovetail version is green, rail version is red

[tight ember]

oooh

[silver beacon]

shore line ight the map ik best rn is customs so yikes

[steel cape]

do like me and hold open map of where u are on second monitor, with escape routes marked, it helps A LOT

[fallow spade]

i recommend not running customs if you are new because it’s very easy to die there

[steel cape]

unless u are a bad map reader then gud luk

[unreal horizon]

customs is a brutal map with a lot of chokepoints, but at the end of the day you need to get your quests done 🤷

[fallow spade]

i died so many times trying to do skiers first quest at customs because i thought knife runs would just be fine

[dawn geyser]

xD

[bold kernel]

i need a fookin ledx

i want my thicc

[sharp pilot]

Should I keep W216 key for shoreline?

[bold kernel]

yes

[sharp pilot]

What is even in it

[bold kernel]

quest

and a ledx spawn

• general meds stims and food

[sharp pilot]

ight thanks

[bold kernel]

weapons boxes

and a m4 spawn

[subtle mantle]

just domed some kid on woods, he was a lvl 38 and he had an M700 sniper with some cool looking stuff, is this good?

[uncut escarp]

yo flea market kinda bumping

i went from 600k to 2million in a few hours

[errant timber]

anyone wanna help ya boy out lol im bout to play my first game and dont wanna lose my gear

[bold kernel]

the game doesnt let me sell stuff

tf

[dawn geyser]

What are you trying to sell?

[dawn geyser]

Interesting

try and restart your game

[bold kernel]

ok , ty I will

[fallow spade]

is your inventory full?

happened to me recently

[slate trench]

Is there any full head protection trader level 1 helmets? I know there's the kiver but not see if there is one you can buy or not

[foggy stratus]

just use these:

ur not gunna get anything decent till u level ragman

[slate trench]

Getting 1 tapped more to the face than the top of the head.

[olive laurel]

I haven’t seen a flash drive in days! I’m lvl 28 and still need one for skier 😂😂

[fallow spade]

there isn’t really anything you can do about it

[olive laurel]

Hit 100s of safes stashes computers campsites

[slate trench]

Ah ok, I figured just wasn't sure if there was something I was overlooking.

[mellow jasper]

im new will anyone helkp me

[bold kernel]

damn im dumb , u are right

[foggy stratus]

gotta be more specific m8

[mellow jasper]

the first quests in the game

[foggy stratus]

which one lmao

be specific

[mellow jasper]

i need 1 salewa and some mp133 shotguns

[fallow spade]

just discard somethign with low value

or put it on your person

[foggy stratus]

for the mp133 shotguns, just kill and loot scavs. for salewa's theres a ton of medical spawns all around customs. highly suggest looking at videos of where theyre located and just running customs till u find one

takes a few but, they arent that rare

[fallow spade]

also you can check your scavs to see if they have one

[foggy stratus]

that too

[steel cape]

whats this?

[dreamy pecan]

What tasks to you recommend that are good?

[fallow spade]

keep it

[fallow spade]

all of them

[dreamy pecan]

Ok

[fallow spade]

it’s needed for a hideout upgrade

[foggy stratus]

eh

[fallow spade]

i just forgot which one

[foggy stratus]

scav case isnt really that big

[fallow spade]

oh yeha it’s that

[crisp nest]

its for scav case yeah

[foggy stratus]

what lvl are u john

[dreamy pecan]

Is doing hidden cache runs good I do them and get some alright stuff

[foggy stratus]

yeah

jaeger stashes are solid

[dreamy pecan]

How do you get those ?

[foggy stratus]

ive pulled slicks, class 5 rigs etc

[dreamy pecan]

Where are this

[foggy stratus]

jaeger stashes?

[dreamy pecan]

Yeah

[foggy stratus]

theyre all around customs, interchange, woods and shoreline. tons of info guides and maps with them marked

[celest sage]

Jaeger stash = cache = stash

[dreamy pecan]

Oh

Ok

[crisp nest]

i get brain hurt when ppl call it other than caches lol

[foggy stratus]

theyre jaeger stashes...

[dreamy pecan]

Can you get anything out of them

[foggy stratus]

theyre literally called jaeger stashes in the games text...

[celest sage]

Where does it say that, this is like the third time I’ve heard them be called that

As you’re looting them?

[crisp nest]

when youre looting it says (buried) barrel cache

[celest sage]

Bruh

[crisp nest]

depending if its covered or not

[solid drift]

Quick question, which map would be best for someone just starting out, or does it matter much?

[dreamy pecan]

Hmm

[foggy stratus]

depends what ur trying to learn

[dreamy pecan]

You should learn one map

First

[celest sage]

Customs will have early tasks

[dreamy pecan]

Yes

[celest sage]

I’d go for customs

[solid drift]

Ight I’ll try that out then, thx

[dreamy pecan]

Look up mapgenie

And it has all the maps

And the loot spots @solid drift

[fallow spade]

it doesn’t have reserve and i don’t think it finished new factory

[crisp nest]

reserve is paid

[fallow spade]

it has the other though

oh

[crisp nest]

but the wiki map is the best reserve map

!wiki reserve

[broken quail]

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

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Reserve

Reserve is a location in Escape from Tarkov.

[foggy stratus]

just do offline raids and run around for a few. the maps arent that hard to understand once u do that

[dreamy pecan]

I found customs the easiest to learn

[foggy stratus]

customs is extremely linear

[dreamy pecan]

Yep

[fallow spade]

i found shoreline and interchange the easiest

[foggy stratus]

interchange? tf

[dreamy pecan]

lol

[foggy stratus]

crackhead

[crisp nest]

ic = cringe map

[dreamy pecan]

Isn’t interchange very good for loot

[crisp nest]

rat land

[foggy stratus]

its one of the best

[crisp nest]

yeah the best

[foggy stratus]

it promotes the most insecure plays tho

[dreamy pecan]

I was going a cache run then got beamed by some level 27 player

[foggy stratus]

sit in corner wait for guy to pass by shoot legs out ez win

[dreamy pecan]

Lol

[fallow spade]

ez

[foggy stratus]

ur whats wrong with tarkov

[fallow spade]

i do all my scavs on interchange

i don’t do that

i just said ez

[foggy stratus]

joking

[crisp nest]

thats what i mean abt ic

lol

[fallow spade]

it happenes to me and my friend a lot so we have to refrag each other

[solid maple]

this some good armor?

[foggy stratus]

not really

[dreamy pecan]

I found some nice scav players on reserve and they just dropped me some stuff

[foggy stratus]

you wont get 1 tapped by shit ammo if thats what ur asking @solid maple

[dreamy pecan]

What did you all pick Usec or bear

[solid maple]

ok

[fallow spade]

usec

[foggy stratus]

usec this wipe

[dreamy pecan]

Same

[crisp nest]

usec but i like bear better

[dreamy pecan]

I chose bear last wipe

[crisp nest]

usec has voicelines though

[foggy stratus]

both have voice lines

[solid maple]

usec>

[dreamy pecan]

I like the m4a1

[subtle mantle]

whats the difference?

[fallow spade]

bear you can’t understand

[solid maple]

english and russian

[elder saddle]

man i think i found one of the worst sights in the game and its an iron sights

[subtle mantle]

ah ok

[foggy stratus]

voice lines, starting guns etc

[crisp nest]

well i mean understandable ones

and i get

"nice work bitch"

"silence, no sound"

[dreamy pecan]

Should I upgrade my game to the 2nd best edition

[foggy stratus]

Bears start with 5.45 AK's while Usecs start with M4s and an MDR

[elder saddle]

my characters thumb is on the top of the gun literally covering the iron sight

[foggy stratus]

if ur gunna upgrade, just go straight to EOD

[crisp nest]

i have it but i wouldnt say its worth it

[elder saddle]

im shooting blind

[crisp nest]

unless u cant drop 100$ at once

[foggy stratus]

EOD is worth every penny if ur in love with the game

[solid maple]

at least the 3rd one

[dreamy pecan]

Fuck I should’ve bought it when it was on sale

[pliant topaz]

is this allowed? (only changed nvidia display panel settings)

[dreamy pecan]

Wtf

How

[foggy stratus]

um

[subtle mantle]

how??

[foggy stratus]

what the fuck

[crisp nest]

i didnt have 100$ to drop at once so i got that one and ill get eod later

[bold kernel]

that def isnt allowed buddy

[foggy stratus]

tell me how

[dreamy pecan]

How

[foggy stratus]

i want perma night vision

[pliant topaz]

nvidia settings

[solid maple]

ive seen a lot of people do it

[foggy stratus]

the game filters?

[subtle mantle]

how??

[dreamy pecan]

It looks fucking op

[crisp nest]

nvidia game filters dont work with eft

[pliant topaz]

nah nvidia display settings

[celest sage]

Wtf which settings did you change

[solid maple]

i think its allowed because if it wasnt it wouldnt work with tarkov

[foggy stratus]

wtlf

[pliant topaz]

contrast and gamma

[bold kernel]

u prolly cant see anything in doors

[celest sage]

Gamma?

[celest sage]

There’s no way for them to make it not work

[dreamy pecan]

What did u change it to

[celest sage]

It’s a gpu setting

[crisp nest]

as i said, game filter doesnt work

its his monitor display

[dreamy pecan]

@pliant topaz what gamma and contrast did I change it do

[crisp nest]

it works with anything

[unreal horizon]

of course

[solid maple]

if it was his monitor we couldnt see it in a screenshot

[celest sage]

Postfx?

[crisp nest]

???? what

[celest sage]

No it’s his gpu that’s how we can see it too

[crisp nest]

ah ok

yeah

[pliant topaz]

I took a picture of a monitor so you can see the difference because a screenshot wouldn't show it

[celest sage]

Oh ok

[dreamy pecan]

That shit looks op for killing geared people

[pliant topaz]

it might just be my monitor

[lime echo]

where do i lfg?

nvm found it xD

[foggy stratus]

not if they have NVG's

[dreamy pecan]

Yes

That’s what I was gonna say

[crisp nest]

wait until u see a flashlight

retinas gone

[dreamy pecan]

XD

See if you upgrade your tarkov do you get extra roubles or no

[foggy stratus]

no

[dreamy pecan]

?

Ok

Do u get more guns

On the best ediiin

Edition

[foggy stratus]

the starting package is better. not sure if u upgrade later on

[dreamy pecan]

I’m gonna upgrade next week

Or wait till sale

I want that chunky alpha container too

[foggy stratus]

u mean the gamma container?

[frank condor]

im trying to understand how to do pvp in this game, but even the scav AI will take 2 shots at you and then camp in a bush. they wont push you. and if you try to walk toward them you die. so its like impossible to find them and i just die every time

[crisp nest]

the only real increases are, early game fuel and hemostat for the quest, trader rep, stash, and container

[dreamy pecan]

Yeah

[unreal horizon]

don't take dumb fights

if you're at a disadvantage why are you fighting, just disengage

[frank condor]

i cant disengage most of the time without getting shot in the back

[foggy stratus]

then ur positioning is garbage

[unreal horizon]

then you're positioning poorly, try moving with gcover

[frank condor]

im usually looting so i dont have a chance to position myself at all anyways

[unreal horizon]

make sure you use a headset ingame

[foggy stratus]

ur awareness is lacking then lmao

[unreal horizon]

you'll hear people when they are near

[frank condor]

i am but i still cant hear anything

and i always check but never see anyone before

[crisp nest]

do u play other fps

[frank condor]

so i loot and then they just appear beside me

yeah i played fortnite and CoD but this is way different

[unreal horizon]

Focus on positioning then, you don't really learn it from those games

[crisp nest]

i mean those have radar/less sound needed

so you wont learn 3d hearing much

maybe try offline

[frank condor]

just 90 percent of my deaths right now are to someone i never see or hear

[crisp nest]

if ur dying to scavs definitely do some offline

[frank condor]

im getting really frustrated and the learning curve is killing me

[chrome dome]

if you can do offline labs with a pistol

[crisp nest]

still need keycard

[frank condor]

plus i have no gear so i have to use pms and other broken guns from my scavs

[carmine creek]

one 5min reserv run lul https://i.imgur.com/Jpt97dl.png

[bold kernel]

ppl are so fucking boring

i see a timmy trying to shot me

im trying to let him live and be friends with him

but he wants to die

[silver beacon]

dude i shot a guy 9 times with a mosin and he didnt die last wipe and so i stopped playing and im coming back this wipe lmao

like with site on his head at range so prolly body shots

[crisp nest]

u quit cuz of 1 death?

[shy remnant]

I stopped playing last wipe and came back this one. Only to die to a guy the scav boss in factory who wields a lvl 5 helmet, lvl 6 body armor and a sledge hammer. Good luck

[silver beacon]

well prior to that i couldnt find what i needed for workbench so like 10 deaths

[crisp nest]

i mean this wipe is level 20 flea market

[silver beacon]

and i was at 20k j rebuying sks

[crisp nest]

its not supposed to be easy

[foggy stratus]

dont bother with SKS's

[crisp nest]

just scav if u haveno money its like 200k from extract

[foggy stratus]

single fire rate guns are why ur dying

[crisp nest]

eh sks is decent but i like vepr km better

true if you arent skilled semi is bad

[foggy stratus]

just use akm's tf

[olive laurel]

Where does a brother find usb flash drive!?

[crisp nest]

wait those r from ll1?

[foggy stratus]

prapor lvl 1 i believe

[silver beacon]

my biggest reason for dieing by far is running outta time tbh

[tall temple]

filing cabinets most of where i find em

[crisp nest]

i havent played in a week but when i left off i was running one but i thought i couldnt get more

[crisp nest]

cabinets safes pcs

[foggy stratus]

lemme check rq

[crisp nest]

very rare imo

[weak oxide]

anyone can price check labs weapons testing area key? (is there a price check channel?)

[whole cairn]

can anyone help me learn woods

[silver beacon]

i remember one my best runs i got black leg and while walking to extract ran outta time

[foggy stratus]

1 sec

[foggy stratus]

80k

[weak oxide]

ugh

lol

[silver beacon]

well imma go into raid with my saiga 12 and see how this shit goes 😛

[foggy stratus]

@crisp nest

[crisp nest]

ah rip its a barter

i love the akm early game

[foggy stratus]

same

love it end game aswell

[feral star]

guys I need some help, how much does the ZSh-12-M Helmet you can unlock from skier with chemical p. 4 cost if you buy it from him at the reduced price?

[celest sage]

Not sure but keep in mind you can’t buy it until level 32

Ragman 3 iirc

So no point imo since by then you’re using better helmets

[weak oxide]

should I request quest help here or in lfg? I am doing shitty this wipe and can't seem to survive spawns lolol

[crisp nest]

i prefer the 545 aks later on but not i think mk47 is gonna b meta by far

[foggy stratus]

545s are aight

later on 545 fall off hard

[crisp nest]

i by far prefer 556 and sa58 to 5.45 though

[foggy stratus]

mid to late wipe they suck dick

[crisp nest]

yeah

[frank hill]

does someone have the bad rep key and would be willing to help me with the quest

[crisp nest]

mk47 kinda op though

ill b running it this wipe

[foggy stratus]

yeah the mutant is disgusting

been using it for a day or so now

[crisp nest]

36 recoil and 40 ergo with the lowest recoil build

otherwise with balanced build like 41 and 60

[foggy stratus]

even this is manageable

[ivory ether]

does the mayo have to be 100/100 for me to turn it in for kappa?

[bold kernel]

yeah fun

[foggy stratus]

found in raid

thats it

[feral star]

@celest sage ok right didnt consider this, then i will go for the med case i guess

[bold kernel]

cant wait to do 900 raids for a single ledx

[west plover]

what conditions make a player cursed to scavs?

[ivory ether]

ah ok it is fir so i should be fine then ty

[foggy stratus]

gotta be lvl 71 tho this wipe

so good luck

shits aids

[celest sage]

Just figure out which of therapist and prapor give the most cash

[ivory ether]

yeah i saw that, i might just turn in the items and just pretend i got it

[celest sage]

That’s what I did

[ivory ether]

xD

[foggy stratus]

thats my plan

was hoping to beat my stats from last wipe but

no reason to rush now

so sad, arguably the best wipe start so far with new boss, factory expansion not being a bad update, flee to 20 and they ruin it with kappa change

[unreal horizon]

if people cry about it like the vector, it'll get changed

don't worry

[bold kernel]

the kappa change is good

[foggy stratus]

are u stupid?

[bold kernel]

wow no need to go rude

[foggy stratus]

name 1 game where putting the endgame item behind an xp wall works out

[bold kernel]

tarkov

[foggy stratus]

nah im sick of people defending the change

its stupid af

[bold kernel]

damn youre mad as hell

maybe play smth else for a bit

[unreal horizon]

skill issue ig

[crisp nest]

should def be like 60

not 71

[ivory ether]

eh yeah i kinda feel like 71 is a bit high, what was it last wipe?

[bold kernel]

nikita def didnt lock kappa behind lvl 71 without anything happening this wipe

[foggy stratus]

🤝

[crisp nest]

40

[ivory ether]

ah

thats a big jump then

[foggy stratus]

not even 40

[bold kernel]

most of you guys dont even hit lvl 60 either tho

[foggy stratus]

there wasnt an xp cap at all

[weak oxide]

anyone wanna teamup for pocketwatch?

[feral star]

@celest sage ok shit, I guess I never should have turned this quest in. I just went to -0.04 rep on both Prap and Skier and downgraded from LL2 to LL1 on them, I thought it was only -.03 rep but it really is -0.3 holy shit

[bold kernel]

even lvl 60 is pretty much a grind

[crisp nest]

true but ll4 traders

[foggy stratus]

i guess

but

still

reasonably speaking there was no on paper requirement

[bold kernel]

I really need help getting my game actually working, I bought the game earlier today but I can't get the activation email

if anyone could help I would be estatic

[celest sage]

I mean one of the requirements is to finish a task to get level 40 so

Anyway this 71 stuff has to be a placeholder or have some catch we don’t know about

BSG isn’t stupid enough to just remove the main goal of many players

[foggy stratus]

idk man

[unreal horizon]

yup

100%

[foggy stratus]

i can see if they lowered the requirement by a level each week even

but

[celest sage]

If someone was able to do 15 minute, 15k XP runs, working longer than a full time job

They would not complete level 71 in any wipe ever

[foggy stratus]

it would take 1400 20k xp raids to get kappa rn

u telling me thats reasonable?

not talkin to u btw nero

[celest sage]

Ye

[unreal horizon]

just wait and see what they have planned

[bold kernel]

thats like 1.8k labs raids

[silver beacon]

im fkn done hit count:16 fatal hits: 0 how does that make any fkn sense at all

[unreal horizon]

armor/bad ammo

[foggy stratus]

^

[silver beacon]

thought it was realistc

[celest sage]

How many kills did you get

[warped halo]

in real life you can get shot 20 times in the arm and keep working lol

[unreal horizon]

[[Ballistics]]

[broken quail]

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

[unreal horizon]

learn

[silver beacon]

1 on a scav

[warped halo]

whats not realistic is falling over after 1 shot

[bold kernel]

i ThOuGhT tHiS iS rEaLiStIc

[solid maple]

should i use bp gs for this?

[warped halo]

uh

what else do you have

[crisp nest]

[foggy stratus]

BT BS or Igolnik @solid maple

[crisp nest]

ish

[silver beacon]

[bold kernel]

this is fake deal with it tarkov isnt realistic

[crisp nest]

ik

[dreamy pecan]

Does anyone else think that level 20 flea market is annoying

Or just me

[foggy stratus]

nope

[bold kernel]

jsut u

[foggy stratus]

good change

[dreamy pecan]

Hmm

Actually

I’m already level 5 off of 2 raids

[crisp nest]

i dont like it because i dont have time to play recently, but its a very nice change

[solid maple]

is it better than bp gs

[crisp nest]

yes

[silver beacon]

have u seen 2.23 wounds even with armor ur gonna get knocked of ur feet

[celest sage]

Yes, just makes it harder for new players and standard users, for EOD barely anything has changed other than early game being jacket looting simulator

[foggy stratus]

BP, BT, BS then Igolnik from worst to greatest @solid maple

[celest sage]

Yes

[celest sage]

Debatable but pretty much

[dreamy pecan]

Is this a good helmet I killed someone and got it

[crisp nest]

not really id sell it

[dreamy pecan]

Why

[crisp nest]

ear hitbox is kinda messed up so u need it

[celest sage]

Decent but id sell

[dreamy pecan]

I can’t get much better

[crisp nest]

helmets useless

[fallow spade]

what is the ammo i should be running for an m4 5.56x45

[crisp nest]

and

[dreamy pecan]

Nah

[crisp nest]

they def are

[dreamy pecan]

I’ve been saved by that helmet many times

[sharp garden]

t4+ helmets are nuts

[crisp nest]

tc800 has no ear coverage

= bad

[west plover]

what conditions make a hatchling "tagged and cursed" to bot scavs? As in, what specific minimal gear do you need to not have scavs come and find you? I'm trying to get scav kills, and I find it's easier to do a hatchet run where they come hunt me down... but I'd like to bring a rig or backpack. Just not sure if bringing one of those will prevent them from searching for me

[crisp nest]

pistol + rig/bag

[west plover]

so I can bring those and still get agro?

[crisp nest]

if u have less u are tagged

[crisp nest]

gun and a piece of gear

[west plover]

o ok

[silver beacon]

where are mp-133 shotguns most common?

[crisp nest]

buying from jaeger

lol

[fallow spade]

lmao

it doesn’t matter

[olive turret]

no place is more common than the other

its rng

[sharp garden]

scavs

[fallow spade]

just any scav

[west plover]

I just killed scavs for one personally but I doubt I have the parts for gunsmith

[silver beacon]

dont have him i need it for prapor first quest

[crisp nest]

get him and buy them

[olive turret]

you can do gunsmith with lvl 1 traders

just do the barter

[spark prawn]

Anyone down to help me with Delivery from the past in Factory

[west plover]

lol it just occurred to me as I said that that I probably could buy from traders... thanks for confirming

[silver beacon]

kind of on my first quest but yk

[crisp nest]

and

[olive turret]

elite plier barter is easiest to do iirc

just need to swap one or two parts around

[crisp nest]

u can do more than 1 quest??

[fallow spade]

if you want to find them just rush scav spawns as a pmc

[silver beacon]

i have one from prapor and one from therapist

[fallow spade]

and hope they have one

[crisp nest]

and check mechanic

[silver beacon]

i have

[crisp nest]

assuming u are level 2 or higher

[silver beacon]

o ur right i j lvld up mb

[foggy stratus]

any ideas on PM pistols for punisher 5. getting RNG'd on green crates atm

cant find one for my life

[unreal horizon]

scavs

grind scavs on factory

[crisp nest]

^^

[silver beacon]

can u do the mission for jaeger as scav

[crisp nest]

no

[silver beacon]

ight

[sharp garden]

factory is too chaddy for new players, go play shoreline and chill

[dreamy pecan]

Is customs good for killing scav task

[unreal horizon]

dafuq

everyone's on labs by now, factory should be fine

[olive turret]

well some quests require you to kill on specific maps but customs has a decent amount of scavs

[bold kernel]

literally nobody is on labs

[olive turret]

its a mix for me

[dreamy pecan]

Wait I need to kill scavs in customs

[olive turret]

sometimes its empty sometimes its really chaddy

[unreal horizon]

the 3 labs games i played were popping

[olive turret]

well theres your answer

[dreamy pecan]

XD

[foggy stratus]

scavs have preset spawn areas @dreamy pecan so just run a route to each spot and kill the ones that spawn

[dreamy pecan]

How is there a level 44 already 💀

[bold kernel]

there are lvl 51s alr

[olive turret]

cause this aint erryone's first rodeo

[foggy stratus]

yeah lmao

[dreamy pecan]

Fml

Some people

Lol

[olive turret]

after a wipe or two you can do quests quick since you get more knowledgeable and better at the game

[silver beacon]

wait so if i have a mp-153 and i take out 153 parts and replace them with mp-133 would it then be a mp-133 lmao

[dreamy pecan]

Ye

[olive turret]

the flea level 20 has slowed down progression in a god way

[olive turret]

as long as the base part is there yeah

[unreal horizon]

10/10 change

[silver beacon]

bet

[dreamy pecan]

I have 800k from selling shit to traders

[olive turret]

im still seeing bt bois, rat bois and occasional chad im loving how it is rn

not a bunch of juicers fighting over one tiny ledx that pays for half their kit

[dreamy pecan]

This random player scav gave me a flash drive on reserve

I was a scav too

[olive turret]

scav karma workin as intended

[dreamy pecan]

Yeah

Sometimes I want to kill the scav raiders

Some have decent guns

[olive turret]

[dreamy pecan]

I did once but the I got beamed

Yes

They have op stuff

Sort of

[pulsar compass]

They have pretty stacked weps

[dreamy pecan]

Yeah

But when I kill one about 5 come for me lol

[olive turret]

[pulsar compass]

Saw a rpk with a 50 or 60 round mag just now off a raider

[dreamy pecan]

Lol

[pulsar compass]

N like since when does reserves boss have so many minions

Thought i killed them all n went out to loot n got beamed

N dats like aftr killing 5-6 minions n the boss

[dreamy pecan]

How early do the scavs spawn in on customs

[final frigate]

Is there a scope for the VPO with level 1 traders ?

[unreal horizon]

which vpo

[final frigate]

VPO-215

[unreal horizon]

[final frigate]

Where is that?

[lucid dawn]

jager 1

[silver beacon]

can u do jaeger task in offline

[unreal horizon]

you can practice them

[foggy stratus]

u can do any quest in offline, it just wont count

[unreal horizon]

progress wont save

[silver beacon]

shit

[unreal horizon]

quest items will be there though if you're practicing

[foggy stratus]

good way to practice for quests like killa etc

[silver beacon]

i j canceled que cuz i thought of that lol

[final frigate]

Thanks

[pulsar compass]

How long does it take to get to lvl 20 assuming i get abt 5-10 scav kills as a pmc each gamw

[dreamy pecan]

Then he beamed me

House

[pulsar compass]

Lmao 1 guy started shooting me on customs n i threw 2 random nades n got him

[worldly python]

Crackhouse pvp is weird

[dreamy pecan]

I could’ve been in any shower

[worldly python]

I have to say there is a potential you got cheesed on but also that people will prefire weird shit

[pulsar compass]

Well if i were him i wld check evryone of them tbh

[dreamy pecan]

Atleast I got his mate

[pulsar compass]

Maybe not prefire but like check them one by one

[bold kernel]

man im so fed up with this

[dreamy pecan]

No he straight up pre fired me

[worldly python]

what up goblin

[dreamy pecan]

Like he ran and knew exactly where i was

[worldly python]

I got 4 quests done in 1 woods run

[pulsar compass]

[pulsar compass]

Sadge

[bold kernel]

Lol ill be on customs and hear bullets hitting the concrete wall where my head is

[bold kernel]

[pulsar compass]

LOL

[dreamy pecan]

Damn

[waxen wedge]

why kill player scavs

[worldly python]

bc people are shitty

[dreamy pecan]

I’ve encountered a hacker on interchange he was straight up invisible

Like no joke

[pulsar compass]

I had a game just now on reserves whr i spawned n straight up died n im covered by bushes

[worldly python]

Really?

I mean

Invisible hasn't been a cheat feature that I've known about since Pre-BE

[bold kernel]

I can t make the diff between scavs and player scavs

No doubt there is a shit ton of cheaters in the game

[pulsar compass]

Invisibility dats a new one for me

[worldly python]

Ik "enhanced magic bullet" is a thing now

[waxen wedge]

if youre a scav, dont kill scavs

[worldly python]

where you can shoot thru walls

[pulsar compass]

Not if player scavs kill.me first

[bold kernel]

First few days in to last wipe 30k were banned

[proven saddle]

i would argue the opposite

[bold kernel]

I mean t player scavs and pmc

[proven saddle]

majority of them will kill you

[pulsar compass]

Bruh i gave dem a graphics card as a proof of friendship n got a shotgun to the face

[proven saddle]

yeah just kill em

theres no real penalty

[dreamy pecan]

How hard are graphics cards to get

[worldly python]

Saddest thing is that these cheats literally are >$200 USD (in btc) a month

[pulsar compass]

I just kill evrything i see now

[waxen wedge]

ive never been killed by a player scav as a scav this wipe. scav karma to hard

[worldly python]

Like people are paying more than an EOD acc costs for a cheat

[pulsar compass]

Holy shit actually?

[worldly python]

lmao yea and thats a basic cheat

[pulsar compass]

Like what walls n aim?

[proven saddle]

nobody really cares about karma. worst thing about it is 2hr scav cooldown boo hoo

[empty widget]

even just walls in this game would let you win so much lol

[west plover]

for quests or?

[empty widget]

half the tarkov fights are just shoot someone first

[worldly python]

A lot cost $90 a week, but the really advanced ones cost 300-500

[pulsar compass]

Lmao why buy walls when u can audio walls evryone

[worldly python]

yeah

[empty widget]

if you manage to do that 70% chance you're winning

[pulsar compass]

Literally can tell whr evryone is when their stomping arnd

[west plover]

if it's relatively early level, I might be able to assist in raid sometime

[empty widget]

i mean yeah but you can flank people way easier

or wait for them to peek

and prefire like crazy

[worldly python]

I need the unknown key for skiier quest and tarcone director key for prapor

If you need to aquarius I have that key

[west plover]

isn't unknown key on the dead scav? and I have the director office key

[empty widget]

the unknown key is on the body at customs in the bush

[pulsar compass]

Prefires is what gets me most of the time tho hear dem coming n wait for them to pop up den they start prefiring my ass n i die

[dreamy pecan]

Prefiring is insane skill or@luck

[empty widget]

the director key is pretty common but i think a lot of people in here have it for you

pre-fire all skill

[worldly python]

its always on the body?

[proven saddle]

yes

[empty widget]

Kappa

[crisp nest]

you dont prefire by luck in tarkov

[empty widget]

yes

it is

[proven saddle]

unless someone took it

[worldly python]

I had it on a scav run but then got KOS

[crisp nest]

ammo is expensive

[empty widget]

oof

well it's every raid

[pulsar compass]

Well if ur playing legit prefiring works when its rlly fking obv whr they are

[empty widget]

it only sells for 1k

just peek and prefire

you'll probably win

like strafe walk and fire

lol

[worldly python]

I got 303 key and like every good dorm key minus the quest ones and the marked room key

thing is

[steel cape]

hmm, player scavs in factory are all going for negative rep

[worldly python]

[pulsar compass]

I killed a few lvl 30s today

[crisp nest]

[pulsar compass]

Its insanely fast considering how much exp is needed now imo

[bold kernel]

lol my mistake sorry

[crisp nest]

[pulsar compass]

Rip

Drugs for the grind

[empty widget]

[pulsar compass]

[slow night]

i still don’t think i have any dog tags over lvl 20, i’ll collect all the timmy tags tho

[empty widget]

[pulsar compass]

Most ppl are btwn 10-20 frm what ive seen so far

[worldly python]

I just need to grind to mechanic ll3

[crisp nest]

[worldly python]

then its pvp 24/7 time

[foggy stratus]

once u hit 20 it goes mad quick

[crisp nest]

im level 9 but i havent played in 6 days

[pulsar compass]

A few 20-30+ here n thr havnt seen any 40 n above yet

[slow night]

LOL

[olive turret]

boss and boss guards give you -rep but not raiders

[empty widget]

raiders are fine then

eat them legs

but like normal scavs arent worth killing imo

[crisp nest]

onepeg lost 18 rep from 3 kills

[olive turret]

i didnt get any - rep i killed 6 a few raids ago

might have been fixed or bugged if at max rep

[crisp nest]

obv a bug but i know a few people who keep losing 0.05 per raider kill

[pulsar compass]

U cant -rep when u got no rep

[olive turret]

i did get -0.06 due to ai scav aggro after raider kill

[pulsar compass]

I swear ive killed so many scavs my rep is 0 rn

[crisp nest]

u can go negative

lol

[pulsar compass]

LOL

Im fked thdn

[crisp nest]

onepeg's at -12 rn

unless he gained some

[empty widget]

i mean tbf

[pulsar compass]

Lmao how do u even gain scav rep

I hav no clue

I just got ptsd frm all the player scavs killing me so i dont try to team up anymore

[crisp nest]

got 6 rep in like 4 days then got -12 in 1 minute

speedrun

[pulsar compass]

Lmao i kill like 10 scavs per game or so

[tardy zodiac]

thats like maxed hated is -12

[worldly python]

just got kiba key from scav run, quite nice

[pulsar compass]

How much -rep is 1 scav kill?

[tardy zodiac]

wait nm lol

[slow night]

i think .05

[tardy zodiac]

its 0.2 pre scav kill

[worldly python]

0.02 per scav kill

[slow night]

i don’t think it’s that high unless it changed again, wasn’t it .01 before

[tardy zodiac]

yea

[worldly python]

and if u kill a traitor scav, its 0.01

so

you cannot cheese it

[pulsar compass]

Welp i -0.2 or so per scav run

[slow night]

it’s .1 i believe for killing a bad scav

[knotty topaz]

Why cant I hand in the postman pat letter to prapor?

[worldly python]

I tested it with my friend

[pulsar compass]

Depends on how many i can find

[worldly python]

0.01

[inner jewel]

i need help with bunker pt 2 on reserve pls

[bold kernel]

yeah its .01

[slow night]

oh that blows, how tf do people have 6 lmao. i’ve probably used car extract 5-10 times on all the maps and i’m only at 1.5

and it seems like i don’t get rep for car extracts anymore

or it’s very low

[white lagoon]

its diminishing returns

[bold kernel]

my fence rep is -.26

[worldly python]

Scav karma legit punishes people for not KOSing tbh

[bold kernel]

did they remove ledx out of tape key ?

i stg i get nothing today

[worldly python]

I don't KOS but

[knotty topaz]

lmfao

[bold kernel]

8 tape runs no ledx

20+ factory runs no tagilla

[worldly python]

Nikita wants u to chill

[zinc nacelle]

are gas analyzers rng or is there a place to find them. i Only need 1 more

[somber summit]

Is there a better way to get an ammo case than the barter option for idk which trader?

[worldly python]

Reserve cabinets. Just trust.

[bold kernel]

i was punished because i would see an AI scav with a mp133 or toz early on

or a 3m

or i would be like, "maybe this ai scav has a gas analyzer" and get greedy

[crisp nest]

0.1

[crisp nest]

buying it

[worldly python]

bad strat lmao

[bold kernel]

it worked tho

[worldly python]

Ez way to knock out that skier quest and jaeger/prapor quest is just go woods with a suppressed gun and shoot everything that moves

No loss of fence karma

[steel cape]

wow i just got oneshot in the head by scav with shotgun from 50 meters away, at night, less than a minute after battle started...

[knotty topaz]

get tarkoved

[worldly python]

First time?

[steel cape]

ya that was some bollocks

[slow night]

i’m just not using my scav anymore, i’ll keep the rep i have so my scav junk box timer stays low. walking around pretending your m1 is unbound is so fucking boring

[worldly python]

Moner is not boring

[sweet rock]

Is it better to be aggressive or more passive in Tarkov?
