Arguing necessity of something that is a subset of that which is not necessary is unbeneficial

[glad atlas]

1. Scavs mostly have more colorful things, training jackets etc. They also behave like bots often
2. No, if you see someone killing a scav, kill him
3. Check youtube videos for builds and save them as a preset (check if the current patch is in the title, stuff has changed a lot). For Ammo, check https://www.eft.monster
4. You can ignore that. Its mostly for weapon nerds, you dont need it yet. Youtube Videos help you a lot there.

Cant open the Saiga

if you need someone to teach you a little bit, check out the sherpahub

[grim oak]

I'm new too, never had trouble discerning pmc from scav

Scav wear colorful clothes, shout in Russian as soon as they see you, often stand around like a bot, yeah. They also don't run alot

Also they don't shoot like a pmc

[bold kernel]

they also do there little scanning tihng

[serene reef]

i think the best thing about night raids

is that no player scavs spawn most of the time

visibility goes both ways

and its mostly people who want to loot or quest

[bold kernel]

the looting and questing part leads to fights tho 👍

[serene reef]

yeah, but not to 1v1v1v1v1s

nobody chases shots really

as long as you're aware of surroundings

[bold kernel]

should i buy black

or go for red first

[green oak]

very new to the game anyone willing to help me understad all this?

[median spire]

blac

[obsidian breach]

Could some1 help me and show me what i should sell? My inv is full atm and i dont know if i should use it or sell it

[bold kernel]

ive decided on red

[tranquil shore]

How much is red rn?

[bold kernel]

35

[tranquil shore]

Damn

That's kinda cheap tbh

[bold kernel]

it is

even 50 would be cheap

[tranquil shore]

I'm so close to lvl 20. Then im just gonna grind money for keycards lol

[lusty oak]

Hello, im looking for help with some quests...

[glossy harness]

who here goes by the name smegma_sniffer

the dude that was DC in oli that i just capped with a toz

[lusty oak]

ouch

[uncut escarp]

why the fuck are so many spawn points right next to each other?

you've got this big fucking map in shoreline, there's no reason for me to even see another player in the first 10 seconds

[bold kernel]

yeah man

lets uninstall

[keen mason]

should i sell slim diary

is it useful?

[bold kernel]

u can make intel with it

but das it

[keen mason]

sooo ?

i should or shouldnt

[bold kernel]

up to u

i sell em

[keen mason]

i guess im going too

[bold kernel]

fence for the roubles and pk for the dollares

[keen mason]

i know

is ppsh a good gun btw?

[bold kernel]

no

but a fun one

[paper gull]

New player no flea market, what would you advice I sell? Stash already full

[keen mason]

yeah i want the flea market

but im only lvl 5 😄

[bold kernel]

it was lvl 10 last wipe

😎

[keen mason]

i know

[bold kernel]

upping it was a good change

tho

[keen mason]

yeah thats true

[serene reef]

i can advise you to screenshot instead. nobody knows what you have :v

[woven copper]

What's the limit on getting a sherpa help, how NEW do you gotta be? xd

[paper gull]

Didnt want to sc as i thought id clog the chat, and stuff is in back packs and rigs

[serene reef]

the ak isnt normally 3x5. it's just that big of a mag. you can unload the mag and take away the pistol grip. that way the gun becomes 1x5

some guns you can fold with middle mouse click

stack the daypacks

This is what i am doing not really that worth but i'll take it. 2 big Tushonkas go for 30BT ammo to prapor

and having the good ammo is the difference between life and death

[paper gull]

What do you mean by stacking backpacks?

[serene reef]

you can put the daypack inside anohter daypack

[bold kernel]

that makes abs no sense

[serene reef]

it doesn't ?

enlighten me :)

[paper gull]

My day packs are full actually lol, so thats not a solution

[bold kernel]

the grid in it is as big as the bp isnt it

[serene reef]

Yeah but that way you don't clog it xD

better to have lose loot than loot in a daypack imo

as well as some rigs are bigger inside then outside

[bold kernel]

that way u dont have all kinds of shit in your stash

u can even sort the items inside

and then if u have a bigger bp put the daypack in it

[olive turret]

solo labs = free bp

[serene reef]

you can have an organized stash without lose backpacks

[bold kernel]

tru

did a couple of loot runs

for red

worldstar

[olive turret]

i dont have any cards

[bold kernel]

banked 7 mil

[olive turret]

did you barter your thicc for one?

[bold kernel]

for green

[olive turret]

did you just buy red?

[bold kernel]

no ill buy it soon

[olive turret]

oh wait

nvm

i see you did loot runs for red

[bold kernel]

i have all except for red and black

but black has a barter

[olive turret]

have you found odolby yet?

[bold kernel]

nop

[olive turret]

its the only stim that wont spawn

[bold kernel]

every stim except for odo

[olive turret]

for me

yep

even on sanititties he doesnt

[tranquil shore]

I have one?

Found it on a scav

I killed

Player scav

[bold kernel]

needs to be FIR

[tranquil shore]

It is

What do i need it for?

[bold kernel]

a late game quest

[old quest]

can i ask for troubleshooting help in this chat?

[tranquil shore]

#community-support

Is probably the right place

[old quest]

thanks

[bold kernel]

Does anyone wanna play and progress together

[gentle sable]

Yeah hit me up. - leloupblanc89

[serene reef]

tfw

very smol/short shotgun with a very big mag 👀

[south oak]

when do player scavs normally spawn on customs

[robust robin]

You see them most at 25-10 mins

But there are sometimes spawns earlier

[quartz tiger]

anyone have the key for secure folder 0031

[light lance]

Sorry guys I might paste a block of text again 😅

[hard mirage]

guys which one is better?

[old quest]

is tarkov supposed to have crackle in the audio at the main menu

[tranquil shore]

Imo it's left.

[hot tree]

what do you mean

[old quest]

i can hear an audio crackle but its relativily quiet is that normal

[serene reef]

i'd say dont expect them earlier than 35min left

[hot tree]

i dont think so

[serene reef]

at 25 it becomes their place really

[hot tree]

maybe its your headset or something thats doing it

[serene reef]

and at 10 they are everywhere

all headphones are equal

[old quest]

its only when tarkov is running

[serene reef]

just some are less equal then others

👍

[hot tree]

weird

[old quest]

and only when they are plugged into my scarlett solo

[light lance]

Thank you @hollow minnow @glad atlas and @olive turret for helping me! appreciate your answers, I would like to get back on some details, if you or other people feel like filling in the gaps that would be cool (I got blocked because my text was too big, so I guess I will do one question at a time and wait for answers! sorry about that)

"determining the difference between pmc's can be pretty simple because generally pmc's will be aggro if you are playing as a player scav while the new scav karma update most of the time player scavs are generally friendly towards you"
Might be true in theory, but what help can you give me in practice? what do you mean by aggro, we are not really talking about AI but real players, here, so behavior is erratic! and how about groups? sometimes they come at 2, I get ready in a corner, they get in, I shoot at them all scared and all, but obviously they kill me and during my death animation I realize they wear SCAV clothes... So I just killed a bunch of player scavs... I become the bad guy 😦 Is it nothing but experience then? to play more?

[opal hill]

you get better at recognising them but at a distance there isnt much you can do

[light lance]

Hey! you clicked! 😉 thanks

[bold kernel]

336tkm ammo op

[light lance]

Distance, ok, what when they are making noise outside your building and start getting in? is it like, with experience you can say it is PMC or player scav doing that noise?

[bold kernel]

jesus christ what is this

t he game isnt that complex dood

just play the game

[devout rock]

Lmao

[bold kernel]

u obv havent played enough if u cant determine if the enemy is a scav or not

[opal hill]

most of the time in russian theya re scavs but can be a bear - the scavs tend to shout more though and their comms are more aggressive because they can only f1

[light lance]

Sorry, I dont mean to bother, i just love talking and thinking about games I love :/

[bold kernel]

scavs look like colorful russians

[light lance]

I mean a player scav, right?

[bold kernel]

and pmcs dont

they look exactly the same

they just act diff

[opal hill]

why be a douche about it? he wants some assistance, he is in the beginner channel - what more do you want

[bold kernel]

what i meant to say is

that that is a thing that u learn by simply playing

there is no learning behind it

[light lance]

Well that is a better answer then, thanks 🙂

[bold kernel]

i couldnt do it at first either

[light lance]

Ok got it

[bold kernel]

if u wanna see what a pmc looks like

go to ragman

click on services

and check what kinda clothing u can have

[light lance]

No, I know the looks, my question was clear

[bold kernel]

theres also raiders tho

they look a tiny bit different

[light lance]

Ok ill skip to next question then, @bold kernel if this bothers you no need answering 😉

[bold kernel]

raiders also speak english

so dont let that fool you

not all of them but some

[light lance]

ok

[worn lodge]

< learn russian

[light lance]

"there is guides online on reddit which can be primarily useful, there is also youtubers like pestily who are great and helpful content creators for new players"
Sadly I looked a lot about guys like Pestily, but I am sorry to say, he speaks kind of esoteric, not to noobs, but to people who already have some knowledge of the game. I love the man, but his work is not for me (yet). This is not very popularizing/pedagogic job for total newcomers. What guides do you mean on reddit I would be happy to know? I only found Rainlyte"s one, and although it was GREAT, as I said it did not go into deep explanation of everything (like, how weapons are made and understanding basics of addons. I have no idea what "muzzle" is for instance). Any guide?

[scarlet dawn]

alright so i started playing like last week, could i screenshare my stash to someone and get some help deciding what to sell to traders and what to keep for future quests. this inventory tetris is hell

[devout rock]

Buy u a junk box

[opal hill]

honestly the best way is to find a friend and play with them - someone who knows a bit about the game

[bold kernel]

your question is what a muzzle is ?

[steel verge]

can someone give me a 50 round mp5 drum mag? need one for gunsmith 3 but dont have levelled up traders, i can pay in items or rubles

[light lance]

Got ya, I fear a lot of my questions could be answered like that! thanks

[opal hill]

if you want tome help today i am free in 2 hours time

[light lance]

Errm... no? dont bother mate that s alright

[devout rock]

Watch pirhana guides on extracts or quest he will be ur sherpa

[scarlet dawn]

@devout rock alright but im about a million short of a junk box :D\

[light lance]

That s super sweet of you but I go to bed in 1 hour, appreciate it though

[light lance]

Pirhana got it!

[bold kernel]

Youre digging to deep into this simply playing is gonna do you wonders

and if u still have questions just ask

[opal hill]

i disagree - you will get frustrated - we all needed someone toi help early doors - if you say you didnt you are lying

[bold kernel]

the only guides i got were map guides!

[light lance]

That s your opinion man but eh, everyone has their own way of learning you know? I played 100 hours already and I love talking, thinking and understanding the things I love, like video games. So, yeah.

If it bothers you as I said just ignore me man 🙂

[bold kernel]

w/e

[opal hill]

im happy to help - if you want to add me you can

[light lance]

And I just did! thanks mate.

Erm... I had a few more questions, can I? 😅

[scarlet dawn]

another question from me. if im doing a scav run do ai scavs always do the tilt side to side thing because i usually do that to indicate im a person

[bold kernel]

AI scavs do that too

not always

[scarlet dawn]

lol fun

[bold kernel]

but pretty frequent

[bold kernel]

ask whatever tf u want this chat is made for that

[scarlet dawn]

ive been seeing it more as ive learned i shouldnt kill scavs on my scav runs because i dont want bad fence reputation (?)

[bold kernel]

only pscavs that are tagged will not ruin your rep

but give u rep

also extracting at the pmc + scav extracts work too i think

coop extracts

[light lance]

Ok, next:

"The difference between most ak's is that generally the letter stands for something"
That, I kind of understood by skimming through reddit questions, but I have yet to find a simple, exhaustive guide explaining that? Do you know one?

[bold kernel]

S means

[scarlet dawn]

ok yeah but how am i supposed to know if a player scav is tagged, especially if they start shooting first then i blast them and still lose fence rep

[bold kernel]

that the stock is foldable

the different numbers mean diff caliber and barrel lengths i believe

ak-101 102 etc

akm is the base model chambered in 7.62

and ak-74 is the base model chambered in 5.45

u stand for short and compact

so the ak-74u would be a short and compact 5.45

ak-74

m stand for modernised

so the ak-74m is a modern version of the ak-74

B is suppressed

theres a AK-74UB

so a short and suppressed ak

[scarlet dawn]

if you put the parts on yourself will it change the name? or does it need the right name and then like an additional suppressor attachment like with ak-74ub

[bold kernel]

im not sure about that

[scarlet dawn]

gotcha, but if im picking up something with B in the name i can expect it to come with a suppressor

[bold kernel]

for the aks yes

[scarlet dawn]

yeee

[bold kernel]

but i think the only one with b that u can buy is ak-74UB

same with m4a1-s in CSGO

[scarlet dawn]

i assume different naming scheme for different guns

[bold kernel]

yep

[scarlet dawn]

question about gun durability. so like scav guns usually come pretty fucked up at like 60 max durability or less right. like how bad does that affect accuracy

[bold kernel]

its doesnt

[scarlet dawn]

it doesnt?

[bold kernel]

the only thing that used to happen last wipe was gun jams at about 25%

which was really rare

and fucked up

for a gun

i never had one that low

but they added the gun jam feature this wipe and the scuffed guns this wipe

so a jam can always happen

[scarlet dawn]

i was looking it up and saw that the spread patterns got larger the lower the durability got but the person only tested it at really low durability

[bold kernel]

the lower the dura the higher the chance

and traders wont buy fucked up guns

but u can strip them and sell the parts to skier and the base gun to fence

[bold kernel]

could be but i never felt anything like that

cuz i never had guns that bad

i usually stay away from broken guns

[scarlet dawn]

alright i looked that up too and saw gun parts sell more at skier but ive been seeing it sell more at mechanic

im usually using scav guns lol

[bold kernel]

what i did at the start of the wipe

was that i bought sks with ps ammo from prapor

[scarlet dawn]

but i think i havent even been playing long enough to lower durability that much even if i was using the same gun all the time

[bold kernel]

the ammo is dirt cheap and the gun is only like 15k roubles

with an internal mag

so u dont have to buy mags

[scarlet dawn]

yeah my friend told me i should just buy sks and use that a bunch and learn the game with that

[bold kernel]

it is semi tho

[scarlet dawn]

so i have like 3 sks in inventory and like 2 more i think in insurance but stash is full and dont wanna grab it

[bold kernel]

i still use my sks for loot runs

which im doing rn cuz im farming roubles for keycards

[scarlet dawn]

sks is nice i like it. do you use the 20 internal mag or the default?

[bold kernel]

the default mag

[scarlet dawn]

the 20 is nice but i only have like 300k roubles and dont want to be spending a lot buying more sks and more 20 mag when i die so much

[bold kernel]

scav alot

[scarlet dawn]

i need that lucky scav junkbox lmao

[bold kernel]

always scav when u can

[scarlet dawn]

i know but my stash is full and i dont know what i should sell and what i should keep

maybe i just spend some more irl money and get that bigger stash 🤪

[bold kernel]

eod is def super broken and useful if u have the money to spend and u know that youre gonna play alot

i have 1.2k ish hours now and im still on standard enjoying my time

never really had stash problems

[scarlet dawn]

aight ill probably stick standard then and just git gud

[ashen basin]

[ashen basin]

Hey. I love your profile gif. It feels like a time long ago that I used to call home.

[bold kernel]

thanks much appreciated

[cold shell]

so how many scav boxes are too many ? i'm almost lv 19 and i got 6 full boxes dunno if i should get a 7th

[ashen basin]

SOO UHH YOU DONT NEED MORE THAN TWO.

[tribal quest]

well anything thats not found in raid you can cosider checking if you need it or selling

[bold kernel]

i dont have a single box

[ashen basin]

just fill up one w quest items and when the second one is filled sell all of the second one

its the fastest way to make money

youre just wasting space

jeez

[bold kernel]

i never had problems with space

on standard

[olive turret]

i thought it affected moa

[cold shell]

its 99% found in raid, but seems like i should get rid of some stuff, first real wipe and still learning what i need for quest/barters etc

[bold kernel]

idfk dood

[tribal quest]

Yea there is some resources for that

either you can check out the wiki with the picture

or there is 2 pages that I can recommend (dunno if it counts as advertising but I could link them here)

[cold shell]

or just dm them to me

[mellow flame]

car key and yotota key are trash keys right?

[cold shell]

i always check wiki if its needed for a quest and the flea market site on how much its worth, but i always hesitate to npc the items cuz some things will go up

[tribal quest]

the early hideout stuff with stay down once its down usually

lightbulbs for example are at like 9k and I dont thik those go up more

[cold shell]

ye especially cuz most people won't need bulbs anymore once they are at lv 20

[tribal quest]

oh and nvm, one of the guides is now outdated

Yea

they were 14-20k a week ago

but if you are 20 already its a little rare

https://tarkovtracker.io/

so this is what I use

for the current things

has a page called "needed items" that shows you anything you need

not including barters but it covers most

and you can also track quest progress and do things like show what you need to do on any given map you go to

[cold shell]

oh thats handy

thanks

[tribal quest]

np

[sharp parcel]

What map gives most XP other than Labs? Friend asked me idk what to tell him. Reserve can give a lot but honestly there are so many player Scavs it is often hard to survive until Raiders spawn.

[olive turret]

if good at fighting factory is pretty good

[scarlet dawn]

alright you motherfucker with the 6 scav boxes, please donate one to the rubble poor like me

[tribal quest]

"I have been scrounging stashes for toiletpaper, just gimme a break"

I do think people who start out and are completely new could have issues with the flea and meds but so far everyone seems to have managed

[scarlet dawn]

issues with flea as in i cant even access it until im basically fairly good at the game 😭

[tribal quest]

Yea It does take a while

I recommend just focusing on the quests and quest items

and learning what sells to traders well

[cold shell]

if u donate me xp so i get lv 20 its all yours

[tribal quest]

[scarlet dawn]

when you do stuff like heal does that give character exp or just that skill exp?

[cold shell]

oh no this guy wanna hurt me

[tribal quest]

Both

[scarlet dawn]

epic

[tribal quest]

They even changed it recently so you also get metabolism skill when you eat in the stash

[scarlet dawn]

ok @cold shell we both melee eachother a ton and then heal then melee some more then heal repeat extract

[tribal quest]

so you dont have to take food in

[scarlet dawn]

like when else are you gonna be able to powerlevel your melee skill

[tribal quest]

It is a strat

[scarlet dawn]

does metabolism skill still go up if my energy and hydration are full and i eat? or should i just sell extra food? idk what foods i should sell or keep for trades

[tribal quest]

No when its full you dont gain

[scarlet dawn]

thank you

good info

[tribal quest]

food I generally handle as such: Sugar I keep for making moonshine later, quest food I keep, other I keep a stockpile and sell off any more than 2-3

[scarlet dawn]

alright I have this Kiver FS face shield. should i just sell it to ragman?

[tribal quest]

If you have Ragman 2 you can also get the helmet

even if only level 3 you could have a more tanky one

since no/ less head, eyes

[scarlet dawn]

alright i started this wipe been playing for a week. pmc level 6 and all traders level 1

and fence at -0.52 rep 😭

[tribal quest]

killing too many firendly scavs eh?

[scarlet dawn]

i see a trade for the kiver-m helmet but i dont think ive seen a single chainlet in all of my raids

sorry i get a little jumpy

[cold shell]

i really love this scav karma change, its so much easier for new people to learn the map/get money early on

[scarlet dawn]

i see something i shoot it

[cold shell]

idk unless im stacked with like 300k+ value i just risk loosing it

[scarlet dawn]

ive been better tho i learned in my last 5 scav raids that ai scavs do the tilt thing

[cold shell]

just do voice line and wiggle, if they do it too just keep going, if not just try to run and get shot f irst

ye was freaking me out in the beginning xd

[scarlet dawn]

do ai scavs voiceline back most of the time if i do it?

[cold shell]

not sure but best to check if they are AI is if u do the follow command

[scarlet dawn]

so lame that i gotta take a bullet first if its a pscav

theres a follow command

and the ai scav will follow you

[cold shell]

some times

but they always react to it

[scarlet dawn]

i see

[cold shell]

they do thumbs up/down mostly or mumble something

iirc the chance of them following you is tied to your scav karma

and its really handy if you got one following you, chance is high that aggro pscavs will shot them first instead of you so they are free kills for you

[scarlet dawn]

oooooo thats very nice

when i first started i usually used scav runs as a way to kill a scav and get a nice backpack and rig for a pmc run

[cold shell]

but be careful in rooms like in dorms, i already had one trapping me inside the room by crouching directly in the doorway not moving at all xd

[scarlet dawn]

now im seeing its better to get other loot and just murk some pmcs

lol yea ive seen some reddit clips of dorms blocks

IMPORTANT QUESTION

if i leave the insurance screen, is the loot just gone

or does it actually mean "You will be able to return to this later"

because it feels like a typo and should say you will not be able to

[tribal quest]

it does

Insurance stays for a day or two

and you can dip in and out as much as you need

[scarlet dawn]

oh thank fuck

ive always been sweating about insurance

[tribal quest]

Also regarding scav karma : If you kill an "innocent" scav - be it player or AI, you will loose rep

killing PMCs is fine and even gives back karma

the issue is: if you have negative karma you have severe penalties

more scav cooldown

more costs on money exctracts

worse scav gear

[cold shell]

but you only get +karma from pmc's if they were hostile against other scavs before in this round right ?

[tribal quest]

Also: if you kill a scav that either killed other scavs or damaged you

you also gain karma

[scarlet dawn]

oh holy shit that is terrible. i tried looking it up earlier and i never got a quick concise list like that

[tribal quest]

that I am not 100% on. I think you might get a smidge either way

but the system was changed inbetween

[scarlet dawn]

will AI scavs ever harm you if youre also scav?

[tribal quest]

no

well not by default

if you shoot them yes

if they are raiders / bosses when you get too close

[scarlet dawn]

yeah dont you get cursed if you get low enough rep

oh i see

[tribal quest]

Oh I think you might

the low rep thing I have not experienced

[scarlet dawn]

lol i was definitely thinking about going up and chilling with bosses

[tribal quest]

I have heard scavs might even get evil from spawn in if rep is too low

but I havent personally confirmed that

[scarlet dawn]

either way the goal is to not have low fence rep

[cold shell]

ye i think i saw that in the video of this guy getting -18 scav karma, he just gets attacked by every scav like hes a pmc

[scarlet dawn]

because its just better that wayt

alright. so whats the easiest way to gain fence rep? is it the pmc scav coop extracts

[cold shell]

car extracts imo

[scarlet dawn]

oh rlly

[cold shell]

ye its the most 'consistent' way i think, considering finding hostile scavs or friendly pmc's to extract can take a while

[tribal quest]

Any coop or car extract

they give diminishing returns tho

[scarlet dawn]

gotcha gotcha

[cold shell]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8y6ipIZMH0

[scarlet dawn]

yeah i think i read somewhere that it gives less after you get to a certain level

[cold shell]

was uploaded yesterday, so should be up to date

[scarlet dawn]

will watch l8r thank u

[unborn flicker]

Crazy just how much effort you need to hit max rep

[scarlet dawn]

lol not even gonna worry about it

i probably wont event complete 50% of the quests this wipe

[unborn flicker]

It is worth to not tank your scav rep

Cause mistakes will cost you 0.05

Lost 0.15 so far due entirely to mistakes

[tribal quest]

Yea that was the video I looked at too

Also yes: It is one thing to not do quests but I can definitely recommedn not getting a lot of bad karma

[scarlet dawn]

im new mistakes happen ive gotten better at not shooting everything that moves on sight. But if its a juicy scav run and im trying to get out i will probably go back to shooting all moving objects

[grand basin]

Is there any particular reason not to shoot any unidentified you see?

[tribal quest]

the reasons outlined above

but those apply to scavs only really

[scarlet dawn]

whiskey i should just sell to therapist right

[tribal quest]

Yea

Although iirc jaeger also buys it well

and its harder to level him

[scarlet dawn]

well first i need to unlock jaeger 😭

[tribal quest]

Therapist buys all kinds of purple stuff and misc items for a good amount

Oh what level you at?

[scarlet dawn]

6 🙂

[tribal quest]

Already got the quest?

[scarlet dawn]

i can sort of do customs

yes

[tribal quest]

Ah just woods being woods then

[scarlet dawn]

ive done woods like 4 times

[tribal quest]

Yea

[scarlet dawn]

and just cant figure out where the hell i am

and when i eventually do

[tribal quest]

the map is harsh if you weren there before

[scarlet dawn]

i get blasted

[tribal quest]

I recommend taking in some cash and trying to RNG a right side spawn

then you can go jaeger and money extract

saves you running

[scarlet dawn]

i see

[tribal quest]

basically this

any of these spawns allow you to get there quick

[cold shell]

got killed on woods twice by world mechanics

first i found landmines, secondly i found the sniper scav which just two tapped me on the north river

[robust robin]

I cant even tell where i spawn on woods

I completed introduction out of pure luck

[tribal quest]

Woods is all about orientating on things you see besides trees

but its definitely the hardest

[scarlet dawn]

my friends have told me the way to learn tarkov maps in general is offline raids

[rustic obsidian]

is flea changed to lvl 20?

[tribal quest]

yes

[rustic obsidian]

ty

[tribal quest]

well its the most risk free

if you also wanna get some cash you can also go scav the maps

woods is very chill for that

[robust robin]

When i did it i camped in a bush and someone ran past me and i domed them

Then i realised i was next to marked circle

[grand basin]

Anyone else have issues with load times?

[modern skiff]

can someone tell me how to do this bad rep evidence without dying

tired doing it like 10 times and i die :.)

[tribal quest]

the first or second part?

[modern skiff]

first

[tribal quest]

oh wait

[modern skiff]

next to skeleton

[tribal quest]

bad rep is not the one with factory

[modern skiff]

nope

[tribal quest]

well that one is usually chill

[modern skiff]

:.DDDD

[tribal quest]

you can try waiting 10 mins so the PMCs rotate through

just loot some more safe areas / stashes

then eventually go

or you can go at night

[grand basin]

Or you could put https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXeHwhLPKz8 on and go hunting.

Vepor worth using? Even as a cheap bullet-slinger in lieu of better?

[lusty oak]

does anyone (EU) wanna help me do quests?

[tribal quest]

Depends on the caliber

762 yes, vepr hunter YES, .366 maybe with ap

Bullets are the damage in the game after all

[inner mountain]

Is there a way to refill fuel cans or should I just get rid of them

[fresh saffron]

Should I use a sj labs when strength training ?

[tribal quest]

YOu can make them into containers in the lavatory from level 2 on

Or 3, not 100%

[grand basin]

Do I look ready to operate? I feel ready to crawl through my neighbor's yard and scare their kids.

[lost olive]

Hello is there a channel where i can ask for help from good players to help me extract for certian quests ?

[unreal yew]

anyone able to help out on reserve new to the map

[crude pulsar]

qq can you identify if the one who killed you is a player scav if it has report button beside the ign?

[dire eagle]

Nope

[bold kernel]

best use for jack daniels whisky?

found 2

no flea yet

[grand basin]

Drink the entire bottle and run at someone with a tomahawk.

[unreal lion]

sell to therapist

[bold kernel]

Escape From Depression

[crude pulsar]

so no way of knowing aside from odd movement?

[unreal lion]

flea selling price is the same as therapists

[ashen basin]

HOW THE FUCK DO I TELL A PMC FROM A SCAV FROM FAR AWAY

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS NEW SYSTEM AGGGHHH

[bold kernel]

look for the stockless VPO

[dire eagle]

I mean, its usually pretty obvious when someone is a player scav. AI's are fairly static and behaves fairly predictably. In terms of knowing the difference, I kinda comes with experience

[ashen basin]

-1.30 fence karma

FUCK

[unreal lion]

LOL

ive been successful with screaming at sb and if they dont answer by laughing like a maniac or insulting me in russian then i shoot

[ashen basin]

yea but i always get shot at

from a far

[dire eagle]

I never shoot anyone until I know 100% that they are either a rogue scav (they've shot at me or killed someone else) or 100% a pmc

[ashen basin]

then they miss

then i shoot back

BAM

-.05 karma

fuck you BSG

[unreal lion]

i feel that

[ashen basin]

this shit sucks

cant safely scav anywhere but factory

[crude pulsar]

problem is I got shot at the back because I tried to shoot someone. But that is just because someone threw a grenade at us and I shot the first one that ran at us that from a room. Now Im not sure if I aggro the ai scavs or not

[unreal lion]

they should add a proximity trigger on the rogue scav thing

[tribal quest]

#pvp-lfg

could try there

[ashen basin]

or the sherpa hub

[tribal quest]

or that

[ashen basin]

im gonna go angrily eat my lunch

ill be back later ;c

[dire eagle]

AI scavs who were nearby when you kill another scav will be aggro, but only if you lost rep for the kill

[tribal quest]

I just see my scav as a super chill run now

mostly friendly and idgaf

but the PMC runs went well so I didnt need the money

[crude pulsar]

will it not shoot if you just graze another player scav?

[dire eagle]

Hitting and not killing another player scav don't make the AI aggro I believe. You have to kill and lose rep for the AI to become aggressive against you (or have significant negative rep to begin with)

[sullen gorge]

did the loot on shoreline get nerfed or something, i got all the high tier keys and in about 40 strait runs iv found 2 ledx and 1 tetriz and a load of goldenstar but for the most part all the loot has been hot garbage

[upper iron]

Guys, if you need help with interchange, feel free to @barren berry the giga rat

[tribal quest]

[strong barn]

inb4 bsg thinks they can make an algorithm that can predict human 'intent' which at its core is nuanced and unpredictable because humans are impulsive and irrational
change my mind 😙

[copper depot]

should i have auto ram cleaning on or off?

[upper iron]

How much ram

[copper depot]

i have 16

sometimes ill check tho and it's like 90+% usage lol

[scarlet dawn]

when building stuff in hideout are the components located if i have them hidden away in some rig inside a backpack or do i have to have it at top level of my stash?

[dire eagle]

They can be in your storage compartments

[sullen gorge]

off, auto ram cleaner is only intended for 8 gb. to clear a ram buildup i suggest restarting the game every 2 hours

[copper depot]

ok i see 🙂 ty

do shadows and textures use more cpu when set to low?

[upper iron]

they use less obviously, that's why it's set it low

[sullen gorge]

that im unsure of but usually lower settings increase your frame rate. the stutters are mostly ram related

any shoreline mains on?

[tribal quest]

I do shoreline quite a bit but not resort specifically

[upper iron]

Shoreline is pepega map

D:

Reserve is the place to be

got damn

[sullen gorge]

ahh i had a question regarding the loot in resort. i only started playing the map this wipe because ive heard its good for making money but after buying all the high tier keys ive found mostly trash.

[sullen gorge]

reserve is pretty good but sometimes you get killed right off of spawn

[upper iron]

There are only 2 spawn points that happen

and both of them are next to eachother lul

Reserve got nerfed for shit like intel and so on too 🤷

Although, my first marked room gave me a mag case :D

Idk about resort, I assume that rarer loot is harder to find on all maps now, which is cool

[sullen gorge]

one of my mates got a wallet with the object 21 keycard and a keytool in the same room

[upper iron]

Yup

I remember my first wipe getting like 11 weapon cases out of 25 uses

omegalul

I've never seen shoreline as a massive money maker without dropping fat $$ on keys, it's highly contested loot

[sullen gorge]

nice. im still learning the map so by the time i get to marked its always hit. ive had good luck with dorms marked tho

[copper depot]

sorry let me rephrase it hahaa, i heard that medium to high shadows and textures actually use more gpu, but if u set it to low, it would use more cpu

my cpu isn't great so i'd prefer more workload on my gpu

[upper iron]

There are 3 marked rooms on reserve

Bunkers near train station, black pawn and bunker

Bunker is trash

[upper iron]

Well if you turn graphics down, specially intensive ones like shadows, it'll make the cpu work harder but like.... not by enough if you know what i mean :D

[copper depot]

oh i see, true, unless u had a terrible cpu or something i guess?

[upper iron]

No just in general

[sullen gorge]

to me it just feels like if you don't get a good spawn then you may as well just do a run through and try again if you are hunting for good loot as everything is gone withuin the first couple minutes of the match

[upper iron]

That's not true, if you learn reserve, you can get some fat loot no matter where you are

I'll come out with 200k minimum a run

and good runs close to a mil I guess :D

that's without any rooms too

[sullen gorge]

i mean you can make 200-300k on most maps as long as you aim for items thet sell for 15-20k per slot.

[upper iron]

Yeah if you aim to loot

I pick that up on reserve just running around

There is so much loose loot that people don't take, spawn doesn't really mean much

[sullen gorge]

idealy though id want to hit some good loot then get out in under 10 minutes if im going for money runs

[upper iron]

Well then do what Cherry did lmao

Dude bought all 4 keys for underground reserve

The hermetic bunker undergroun

and would take in a raid backpack, 4 MPPV rigs

and just fill it w/ all the item he got

1mil+ runs xD

takes 10 mins

[tribal quest]

Yea

the reserve bunker keys are gold

20ish big boxes

[sullen gorge]

hmm il need to look into that

[upper iron]

But to make that a better run, you need to have a red rebel

which are like 3mil atm

[sullen gorge]

i mainly play interchange and am still learning reserve right now

[upper iron]

Ew interchange

Played enough of that map for a few days

[sullen gorge]

i just have a big love for fighting in buildings

[bold kernel]

Hello, does anyone mind that I play with him, I'm new to the game, EU

[tribal quest]

well with people activating hermetic a lot anf D2 I dont see to much of a reason

or even scav extract

as they are more friendly now

[sullen gorge]

any suggestions on keys to pick up or get rid of for reserve

[bold kernel]

what do I sell? I need inv space

[limber crystal]

psp1/2 and ps81/82 are great for the cages underground

tons of lootables + food

[tribal quest]

yea

these

[sullen gorge]

nice ill grab them up

[tribal quest]

one or two are pricy

but worth it

[limber crystal]

yea i think 1mil gets you all 4, i love those keys though

i love to run AVS no backpack as well on reserve then you can always take the manhole if you get in trouble

[barren berry]

atleast im not running sks and bank robber

[limber crystal]

you can always have a backpack in case and just plan to drop it if you need to vanish

[jovial quest]

Is this a good bullet?

[sullen gorge]

that sounds fair i really dont mind blowing all my money on keys as it can be made back rather quickly

[brisk swan]

no

[jovial quest]

Ok

[tribal quest]

Yea its an invenstment

[merry dust]

not really

[tribal quest]

as an Addendum: Bullets go:

"best" for head/ upper body is at the bottom

[jovial quest]

Ok thanks

[silk minnow]

i dont see lend lease part 2 and just completed lend lease part 1

[tribal quest]

lvl 30 required

[silk minnow]

am lvl 40

[tribal quest]

hmm

[unreal lion]

crickents, zibbos, matches, slim diary, SAS and you got 6 wilston so you can sell 1 of them

is there any fking fix to dropping frames

my screen randomly freezes for 2 seconds at a time even though i have 60fps+

[limber crystal]

yea agreed, you won't leave with an empty inventory slot if you loot all 4 of those

[limber crystal]

used to happen to me, i did a fresh reinstall and it's been much smoother

[tribal quest]

probably not just an empty slot probably with a like 10k/slot item with all 4 too

[limber crystal]

hahah yea you right

[unreal lion]

i just recently reinstalled so idk

[limber crystal]

ahh yea idk then

i know there are some tutorials for settings that can help but i haven't looked up a current one in a long time

this can be used with a grain of salt but i loved it as an early reference before i knew items

[unreal lion]

everythings fine except for the freezes

[unreal lion]

i feel like its connected to nades exploding around the map

[limber crystal]

that's a thought, maybe turn down particle counts?

[unreal lion]

omg i remember this graph from like 2 years ago lmao

[limber crystal]

haha i keep it pinned in my disc, i love it for new people

it's not 100% accurate but it's a good quick ref

[unreal lion]

yea the fuel can in f tier lol

[tribal quest]

propane too

[tribal quest]

but thats hard to keep updated

[limber crystal]

yea later in wipe it's even worse imo haha

[tribal quest]

yee

it was weird even in the beginning

[limber crystal]

i like that little starter cheat sheet too

[tribal quest]

with flea and all

[limber crystal]

yea there are always outliers i feel like since they always balance

[tribal quest]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jjWcIue0_PCsbLQAiL5VrIulPK8SzM5jjiCMx9zUuvE/edit#gid=64053005

I can throw in the ammo guide too

[limber crystal]

yea i've got those pinned too i just didnt wanna spam a ton of stuff

[tribal quest]

same

[limber crystal]

😛

[unreal lion]

BRO i hate reserve

the map is full of geared ppl like pls im just trying to do bunker part 1

somehow even with a great spawn people always get there before me

[upper iron]

I only really find timmies there

but everyone fights

[limber crystal]

yea you gotta play reserve like a rat if you are solo, it's my favorite map though

[upper iron]

They aren't normally geared just not afraid of fighting you

[unreal lion]

ive been there 3 times every time someone with atleast lvl 3-4 shit has been expecting me

[upper iron]

xD do you want a guide

[unreal lion]

wdym

[upper iron]

exactly what it says

I can take you down there

[unreal lion]

a guide is ambigious

and no thank u im just gonna procrastinate it

until im willing to go down there geared or have flea

[upper iron]

ok then :D

[limber crystal]

i run pistol kits and just loot whore sometimes, you can make dumb money on reserve

[unreal lion]

maybe ill do that and avoid the bunker for the first 20 mins or so

[upper iron]

That's the worst time to go

[unreal lion]

when then 😭

[steel cape]

ay, is it worth doing safe-runs for money making? i found out i have keys for customs to open 7 safes in one run. is it worthwhile or not?

[upper iron]

All the rats and player scavs go there

:D

[unreal lion]

better than geared timmies i guess

[upper iron]

not on customs imo, I think 1/2 of the safes are in dorms

[wind birch]

Hey guys I’m struggling to get over 60-75 frames in tarkov. I have a ryzen 1700x, 1080 TI, 32GB of ram. Anyone know why my performance is low? Even at medium graphics settings and shadows and view distance down

[steel cape]

yes, but so what?

[upper iron]

Oh my bad

Not on customs imo, I think 1/2 of the safes are in DORMS

[steel cape]

i dont understand

[unreal lion]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vPy7QLOEaY this guide helped me a lot

[upper iron]

Dorms is one of the highly contested loot spots on customs

ain't worth to go

[limber crystal]

yea you will get some PVP, or reshala

haha

[unreal lion]

dorms is highly contested and populated by even a boss but if u have no problem with that go ahead

[steel cape]

oki

[unreal lion]

though if ur gonna go across the whole map id focus on more than only saves and by the time ur at ur extract you can go around dorms and still have a full inventory

[steel cape]

but more to the point i was wondering if the yield from safe runs are actually good money or not

[upper iron]

No :D

Safes can have like

[unreal lion]

some expensive stuff can spawn but very rarely

[upper iron]

900 roubles only in them lol :D

[rough scarab]

usually all you get is like 4k rouble and some barter items

[unreal lion]

usually ull get like 5k rouble

ya

[steel cape]

oki

[upper iron]

I hate to say it

But if you really need money just stash run

🤷

[steel cape]

so i guess safe runs is for when u need specific thing for trading / quest, not so much for money making

[unreal lion]

yeah

theyre op

[steel cape]

is that right?

[serene reef]

Dorms is good when you have keys. Especially marked.

[upper iron]

Yeah

[steel cape]

stash run means?

[unreal lion]

there are hidden stashes around most maps that can have every item in the game

[upper iron]

youtube a stash run video

[unreal lion]

there are maps online on where to find them

[serene reef]

Other than that even one small building line crackhouse is better imo

Fortress...? But I always die there xD

[upper iron]

Well all marked rooms are good except the one in the control room on reserve :p

[serene reef]

Whys that one bad

[upper iron]

I feel like, after hitting it more than 100 times, it yields way less loot than pawn or bunker

You get the lucky wallet w/ interchange keycards every now and then but meh

[bold kernel]

marked sucks

this wipe

highkey for me atleast

[wind birch]

I opened marked on customs last night and only thing in it was an AKM sticking through the floor. Trashhhh

[wise swan]

im having troubles finding a bt gas analyzer

[wind birch]

Everyone does. Bags, and filing cabinets on customs yield a lot.

[wise swan]

what about woods?

[wind birch]

Uh I wouldn’t waste tome looking there. Shits too spread out.

[late wharf]

If you're confident there's 4 electronic stores you can scavenge on interchange for gas analyzers as well

that's how I got 2 of them

[wind birch]

Can still find in bags and cabinets but their so far away from each other and it’s just not efficient

[mortal silo]

how do i get help, i keep dying and losing my shit

[bold kernel]

anyone wanna run tasks and customs and stuff with me

[late wharf]

Sure, I could afford to lose more gear lmao

[bold kernel]

dm me @late wharf

also tell me about it

anyone from eu or uk wanna do some tasks

[quartz tiger]

anyone know the fastest way to do the stirrup pistol task

[south cloak]

if ur first up hole in floor is it worth checking anywhere other than brutal truck and generic for killa?

[solar flower]

how to know a scav from a pmc?

[steel cape]

any OP locations for gas analyzer? need 1..

been searchign for 3 days and counting

[pure mist]

interchange

and filing cabinets overall

@steel cape

[steel cape]

where on interchange?

[pure mist]

shelves in oli

[steel cape]

okay, thanks

i appreciate you

[bold kernel]

@steel cape also the tech shops on interchange

[steel cape]

oki

im not well known on interchange but i will try

[shrewd tree]

anyone know where to get the 50 round mag for the mp5

other than mechanic level 2

[pure mist]

raiders

@shrewd tree

[pure mist]

factory five seven

[lilac lodge]

how to stop loading sks?

[tribal quest]

left click

stops after the current bullet

[unreal lion]

right click cancels everything ur doing at the time too i think

like eating etc

[rotund frigate]

What’s a good map to run solo?

This is my first real wipe and I need help uh... living

Lmao

[lilac lodge]

@tribal quest@unreal lionthx

[tribal quest]

customs is a good one to get used to

you will need it for quests and it has a bit of everything

[rotund frigate]

Got it. Yeah it looks good but I’m worried I’m gonna get rolled by way more experienced people bc I don’t know any extracts

[tribal quest]

The extracts on there are largely easy

take a map on a second monitor or overlay

or do offline / scav runs at no cost

[steel cape]

awaiting sesssion start 9 minutes and counting :D

[tribal quest]

But yes: There will be death

that is not really avoidable

[rotund frigate]

Yep, and I’m good with dying. What I’m worried about is getting a bunch of loot and then running around the map for 3 hours trying to find the extract lmao

[tribal quest]

oh that wont really happen

right side extracts are 2 identical looking bunkers

left side are the 2 map corners

[rotund frigate]

Are the bunkers the ZB things next to dorms?

[tribal quest]

• some extra ones like the boat (if fire is on)

No they are all the way to the right

[unreal lion]

next to the silos

[tribal quest]

and for ZB-13 you need power and a key

yea

[rotund frigate]

The silos...

Lemme load into an offline lmao

[steel cape]

server big struggle or what?

13 minutes waiting

[tribal quest]

@rotund frigate

here

this should cover it

quick explanation on all exits

[rotund frigate]

Oh thanks that’s helpful

I just need to figure out where I am when I spawn

[tribal quest]

Yea just get used to it and you will find your way in no time

then you can branch to other maps after

get loot runs on customs and then explore :D

[rotund frigate]

What is the gas station labeled DP Fuel

Is that old or new?

[tribal quest]

new

[candid tundra]

does anyone know where this is on woods?

[tribal quest]

the one in the middle

@candid tundra thats USEC camp

mines all around one side

you are sitting right like that

[leaden falcon]

what trader level 1 shotgun ammo should i run?

[tribal quest]

I tend to run 7mm buck, dont like early slugs but mmv

[sturdy lotus]

Hey should i write a lfg beginner-support kinda raid request into this chat or the one dedicated for normal lfg raids?

[leaden falcon]

any good scopes to run on level 1 traders?

[unreal horizon]

PSO, cobra

[jolly lily]

how much do i sell this for theirs non on flea atm and the price check app didnt find a price for me ?

[quaint quarry]

quite literally useless

considering its for the reap-ir you'd think it was good, but nope. makes reap-ir horrible to use

pretty sure you need one for one of the gunsmith tasks though, so hang on to it

[dire eagle]

You can get like 15k-18k for it according to tarkov-market, so not that much

[jolly lily]

its lvl 3 jeager and im lvl 2 slould i just see if someone buys it for like 100k for the task then lol

[unreal lion]

15k is p good for 1x1

nobody will buy it for 100k lol

[dire eagle]

The flea tax would probably be insane for 100k, considering it goes for 200 (not thousand) to vendor

[jolly lily]

i cant even sell it for 18k i lose more then i get lol

ill just keep it

[slow ruin]

So I have this problem with interchange where if the power is on and I get anywhere near the gunstore my game will crash, and it's been reproduced multiple times, does anyone know of a fix to this besides just getting a new pc?

[upper iron]

It's because you're a kha'zix 1 trick

Reinstall tarkov. Do you have enough RAM?

[noble terrace]

what the hell

[slow ruin]

hahaha khazix aint the problem i promise, yea I reinstalled, i have 16 GB, with plenty of space freed, updated drivers too

[dire eagle]

Try "repairing" the game (should be an option in the launcher), could also try to re-install. Make sure you meet the minimum requirements. Oh, and you can report bugs in the launcher as well

[upper iron]

Shit game then

[slow ruin]

i think ive reported the bug when prompted to like 7 times as it is now?

ill try to repair\

[dire eagle]

2 other things I can suggest is to 1, lower your settings considerably to test if for w/e reason your pc shits itself for no reason and 2, check to see if you've updated your nvidia drivers lately, as if they are really old then that might be the issue, or if they are really new (and the problem is only recent), then that may also be a cause

[steel cape]

i have a huge problem with this gun. it is not shooting anywhere remotely close to where i am aiming. is it a problem with the scope? thats just how the gun is? or because of the low durability? it seems to generally shoot WAY above my crosshair

[rough scarab]

think its the durability

[slow ruin]

well yea i updated my driver, uhm I only ever crash near gun store when power is on, I've had multiple successful runs in interchange when power is off, even near gunstore. it's specifically when the power is on and im anywhere near a certain range from gunstore my game shits itself. anywhere else on the map i have not had the same issue

[rough scarab]

reddot might play an affect too, theres a bit of an error on most reddots so it doesnt always shoot exactly where the dot is

[dire eagle]

Its likely the scope, try to bring different scopes and go into offline mode to see if its consistent or not - also test iron sight

[midnight copper]

I have a dorm 118 key is that a good one and on what map can you use it?

[rough scarab]

search it on the wiki

[dire eagle]

Its oddly specific, normally a reinstall or a repair would likely fix an issue like this, as it sounds like corrupted/missing files more than anything, but as you've already tried reinstalling...
I don't have much else to offer, you could try over at #community-support or perhaps see if the forums/reddit has an answer - unless someone else here knows better of course

[midnight copper]

ty I forgot that you can do that 🙂

[slow ruin]

only reason i came here is because https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/ksdqxx/game_crash_zone_in_interchange/ following the advice from this post didn't exactly help anything

[dire eagle]

And you have tried "Xenos"'s advice, that didn't work?

[slow ruin]

aye media feature pack added, crashed right after when checking anyways, also checked out reinstalling windows... no changes, still crashing

[dire eagle]

Yeah idk - this is an issue that is beyond me sadly

[thorn canopy]

@slow ruin ask #community-support they might know

[slow ruin]

aye

[slow ruin]

ty for your time regardless

[dire eagle]

Any time

[unreal lion]

https://gyazo.com/c384df78cf44ee9594cfcc865dc1b053

is there any way to mod this with traders lvl 1

cuz im not gonna wait for flea to sell it and selling to mechanic isnt worth it

[proven saddle]

did they remove the mp5sd upper from pk?

[dire eagle]

pk lvl 2 has it

[proven saddle]

im dumb

and blind

lol found it

[dire eagle]

I also struggled to find it yesterday, I for some reason wasn't looking for the red background on it

[proven saddle]

neither

lol

[dire eagle]

Nope, nato weapons (m4 for instance) aren't really moddable with lvl 1 traders - Best you can do is slap a different grip on it

And a sight/tactical device

That being said, its not a bad weapon stock. You can get some work done for sure with it

[mild crystal]

anyone for a quick shoreline run to mark ambulences and hit locked cottage

oops wrong place sorry

[bold kernel]

suew

oh

[light knot]

can sum1 check how much fast mt is on the market

[dire eagle]

tarkov-market is your friend when you don't have the flea

[light knot]

yeah but idk how accurate it is

[unreal lion]

yea thats what i found while going through the traders

[dire eagle]

Its pretty accurate

[unreal lion]

its good enough

[light knot]

generally i trust it but i just wanna make sure my main helm is how much tm says it is

ok cool ty

[green sundial]

my visor is 42/50 (the zsh-1-2m) , it has massive cracks but i cant repair it ..?

how do i fix my visor D:?

[dire eagle]

I mean, its not real-time accurate, but it gives you the general price of items within the last 24h

[light knot]

i need to know as well, i recenetly started running visor on my fast mt and i wanna know how to fix it when i take a bullet in the face

[olive turret]

can you repair with a different vendor?

[light knot]

oh ok swag i thought it was updated like weekly or sum

[green sundial]

all vendors say nothign to repair ._.

[olive turret]

oof

[unreal lion]

speaking of, as a general question, a year or 2 ago to get visors fully repaired you had to join an offline raid for it to apply before you could go into an actual raid, else itd have stayed cracked. is it still like this?

like the first raid you join with it newly repaired it would have still been cracked

[green sundial]

no idea XD

i guess il just buy a new one ._.

#1 weaver is bugged
#2 guns are zeroed for an ammo and range, it should be shooting high as its zeroed long range, and if u have fast ammo that too

[olive turret]

if you could repair it you'd hop into an offline raid and die with it or restart game to fix cracks

[dire eagle]

Being unable to fix cracks I'm fairly certain is a feature.
The point of not being able to repair durability might be that the repair would push the durability lower than it already is, therefore making the repair useless. This can often happen with Ceramic armors since they repair so poorly

[humble plaza]

Have to cooperate with Scav to use factory gate. Sure would be nice to let me know that on the O screen

[dire eagle]

This game teaches/tells you almost nothing - for better of for the worse

[humble plaza]

is that always the case with the factory gate as USEC or is it just a random add on

[dire eagle]

Interchange, Reserve and Woods have 1 specific extract that is only available with a scav + pmc

[humble plaza]

So I have to group up with a scav? How do i even do that?

[dire eagle]

Through the power of spamming voice lines ("Cease fire" as a PMC) and smacking the wall or ground with your melee, then hoping the player scav wants to be friendly

[light knot]

cant u also partner with ai scavs

saw pestilly do it with tagilla

[dire eagle]

AI scavs dont count for extracts

[tranquil shore]

As a scav

[light knot]

rip

[tranquil shore]

I think, right?

[light knot]

wat

sens no mak

u need 1 pmc and 1 scab

[tranquil shore]

Was it as a scav? That tagilla was friendly?

[light knot]

nop i dont think so

[dire eagle]

yes you can get scav bosses to follow you as a scav yourself IF you have decent/high fence rep

This doesn't count for extracting though. Still need to befriend a PMC (or player scav as PMC) through the power of voicelines, melee smacking and praying for no betrayal - to extract

[unreal lion]

well theres this barter

[dire eagle]

I'll just go and grab my imaginary altyn from my imaginary stash first

[light knot]

LMFAO

JUST MET A FRIENDLY PMC ON INTERCHANGE ON MY HATCHET

[steel cape]

ok but it was zerod to 50 meters only. i think i hate that weapon

[light knot]

AND WE RAN INTO KILLA XD

[crisp nest]

the sight is bugged

[merry dust]

I own an altyn no brim

[dire eagle]

[steel cape]

well fair enough. i hate the gun anyway :P

pointing and shooting that vepr hunter was like holding a feisty cat who doesnt want to be held

total ass

and it ended up getting me killed

again, like holding a cat

[unreal horizon]

hunter slaps

even with only m80

[brisk swan]

may anyone be a legend and lend me a dorms marked key for me so i can loot for a few times

[unreal lion]

ikr

m80 does 80 damage thru level 4 armor

i think

[storm shard]

it would probably be safer for the person with the marked key to come with you on the raid lol

[unreal lion]

idk why pestily put it in f tier

[unreal horizon]

sounds a bit high but maybe

all that matters is it 2 shots

[unreal horizon]

as a joke

[unreal lion]

https://gyazo.com/ac32edc9229df37461a64e7768801a9e

[unreal lion]

o

[unreal horizon]

[unreal lion]

[fathom orchid]

[abstract spoke]

[plucky ravine]

if my friend is EU and im US, which server does it load us into?

does it depend on whos party leader or?

[olive turret]

The host's server

[plucky ravine]

oh ok ok

[olive turret]

Have the host pick NA E servers that work for the eu person

[plucky ravine]

[grand basin]

Are 5~ minute load times to get into zone normal?

[unreal horizon]

yeah

[rose rock]

depends on the map and where you isntalled the game

but yeh it is normal

also to anyone with the flea unlocked, can anyone give the pricing of this

[versed meteor]

When i shoot and i hip fire first and i ads mid spray? never tested it

[steel cape]

1.0 rep with fence is the first new tier of scav loyalty right?

[mossy sleet]

[unreal horizon]

for the crown

[light knot]
