[deep sundial]

[frosty compass]

[slow sleet]

I can helpbu out, just not for a bit, at a buddies placee

[wide solar]

what is the barrels name

[frosty compass]

😏

[frosty compass]

homespun threaded barrel

[wide solar]

thanks

[deep sundial]

i need to take the 220 for quemicals part 1, and give it to skier

[slow sleet]

Yea np

Ez

[deep sundial]

i can pay you a bit more of the price of the key on flea

and the same with the tarcone one

[slow sleet]

Iight

[deep sundial]

oh, you are na

im EU

[frosty compass]

if you literally just want them dropping, I can drop them for you

[slow sleet]

Thats fine,

[frosty compass]

or he can lol

[slow sleet]

James can hekp u kitterly faster then i can lol

[deep sundial]

yeah, thats what i wanted

[deep sundial]

maybe i should have expressed myself a bit better😅

[celest wasp]

Anyone have dorm 220 key

[balmy atlas]

Is the sa 58 bel anygood?

[woeful rampart]

what is durability burn, and does a negative value of it make the weapon last longer or shorter?

[bold kernel]

i got a labs card but i won’t be in labs for a very very long time

is it worth keeping or just selling

[woeful rampart]

imo yes

64k is pretty nice

[merry berry]

If I have a non fir labs cards u think I should sell it or try using it

I'm not very good at pvp and bt is probably my best ammo

[maiden perch]

How much money do you have? how risky are you? how patient

Ive known some labs players that hide untill the last 10 minutues and then loot all the left overs, they come in just with a pistol

Just know 2 extracts in offline before you do that.

[merry berry]

I just upgraded stash so im at like 200k rn

I know the ones that raiders come from

The one in the garage and the one in the back with shelves

[woeful rampart]

wait can you run Labs in offline without an access key?

[merry berry]

Is waiting till the end and looting the leftovers a profitable strategy?

Ik I'm not expecting too much but would it be better than just selling to thera

[maiden perch]

I think so, I have never done it, it has risk though

If you have the time and patience try it out, if it doesnt work then you know for the future.

[merry berry]

Oh yeah I see that labs has a lotta hackers so idk

[maiden perch]

I do not have the patience.

that's a risk too but

if you have just a pistol and they ESP you, they may not care

(who knows)

[merry berry]

I guess I'll try it out

Can't flea the card anyway

[bold kernel]

i also picked up reshalas 101 is that worth keeping? i’m pretty bad at pvp so it might be better to sell

[merry berry]

Can raiders tank 7mm to the face

Do u have any good 556 ammo to use?

If not then just sell it

[bold kernel]

i have m855

not sure if that’s decent

[merry berry]

I don't think that's very good

But check the wiki to make sure

[bold kernel]

ok

[warm shadow]

shut up fam

[hazy goblet]

Yo does someone who is over lvl 20 wanna help me out with something really quick

[steel cape]

what`?

[bold kernel]

idk man seems like you tryna trade

trading is big bad

[rare kraken]

wym. for gear or hideout items

[steel cape]

they should just make it possible to trade in lobby/, dont see the problem, removing trading from an RPG is ultra dumb

trading commodities is an important pillar to support any civilization

and doesnt negatively impact gameplay in any way

so from the bottom of my heart

fuck that rule

[spare merlin]

wait till voip comes, trading will def happen between scavs

[eager pulsar]

it already does

[spare merlin]

a bit random but yes

[eager pulsar]

im always paranoid the other scav is gonna get annoyed if I dont have anything as good as they dropped lol

[steel cape]

i randomly dropped a scope for a scav and he dropped me a stack of 50k roubles back

:D

[sleek knot]

I have a zeroed out korund is it worth the 50k to make it go to 40 durability

[steel cape]

repair and insurance sucks

embrace the hobo life man

[sleek knot]

so i should just sell it to ragman i guess

[warm shadow]

eyo

can I get a good bartter

for

freemans crowbar?

[wide solar]

bruh i hate other player scavs they kill me everytime

but atleast they get bad karma

[warm shadow]

I just got clapped by a scav as a scav

[steel cape]

sounds like u have a mutually felt relationship then

[warm shadow]

so annoying

I wish I had one of those secure cases streamers have can't do shit without keys

[spare merlin]

a scav saved me from bleeding out once, gave him a gold chain i spawned with as reward

all the best to the cool dudes out there

earlier today gave a guy an acog as well

[hearty juniper]

I just got tarkov and i need help starting out I don't know shit about this game

[wide solar]

all the scavs i spawn with are dickheads

[quartz axle]

I’m trying to do gunsmith part one

Anyone know what’s wrong with it?

[wide solar]

ergonomics

lower it

[spare merlin]

kac grip should fix that right?

[quartz axle]

Doesn’t it say above 47?

[wide solar]

i thought it says below 47

[quartz axle]

No

[spare merlin]

This gun should have more than 47 ergonomics, a laser designator, an extended mag, and less than 950 recoil sum. And compact, too, not more than 4 slots

more than

[quartz axle]

I believe it is

[spare merlin]

thats the text

[wide solar]

idk then

[steel cape]

its too long?

[spare merlin]

yeah its the barrel i think

[wide solar]

can someone help me do the introduction quest i keep dying to land mines

[spare merlin]

dont go past the signs man

[steel cape]

lol

[carmine creek]

whats a good way to get money spent on skier ll2 tot ll3 without losing much?

[frosty compass]

sell him anything you get

like, instead of going to therapist or mechanic for highest money, do him first

[wide solar]

anybody know what this place is?

[rare kraken]

Woods near outskirts

[unkempt gulch]

at the big lake

[bold kernel]

idk if you got the task done yet but maybe replace the flashlight with the Ncstar laser from skier lvl1.

Anyone low level NA wanna get some quests done

[subtle reef]

im new to the game but im down to play

[bold kernel]

You na or eu

[subtle reef]

na

[bold kernel]

Dm me your name to add you

[steel cape]

thats the boat extract on woods

[wide solar]

again i died to a land minee

im done with woods

[frosty compass]

you're obviously not following a map, you're gonna die like that

[rare kraken]

all the edges with mines have signs

the only spot with mines inside the map is next to usec camp near convoy

[frosty compass]

mines are just the equivalent of a wall

[wide solar]

i was on a road and there were no sighns

[frosty compass]

anyway, use the mapgenie map

and try to get your bearings

[rare kraken]

40 feet apart usually

[frosty compass]

if you use your brain you can problem solve more

[wide solar]

i am using mapgenie but it doesnt say where the mines are

[frosty compass]

it does

the red around the edge

[rare kraken]

it does...

[bold kernel]

what task are you trying to do anyway?

[dark root]

which map is best to farm meds

[wide solar]

introduction

[subtle reef]

would anyone be willing to play with me im new to the game and keep getting shit on

[rare kraken]

Electron a lot of people get shit on 90% of their games

[subtle reef]

Yeah but im getting shit on and dont know what to do

[bold kernel]

wanna hop in a call and i can show you around woods

[frosty compass]

if you don't know what tarkov is at all, you should probs watch some yt videos and streams first

[hollow jewel]

When In doubt hide in a bush

[wide solar]

sure

[frosty compass]

cause you'll be asking people to spend hours explaining the whole game at that point

[wide solar]

dont have a mic tho so its gonna be a struggle

[bold kernel]

ah ok

[wide solar]

so how do we get in the same game?

lobby*

[bold kernel]

join lfg woods 2 real quick

[wide solar]

what is lfg?

[bold kernel]

looking for group

[wide solar]

alr should i get some guns and armor?

[bold kernel]

yea

[wide solar]

ok

[granite prawn]

@wide solar get in here bro

[wide solar]

pm

[topaz umbra]

best ammo from lvl 1 traders?

[plucky ravine]

christ

[frosty compass]

which gun?

[warm shadow]

what durability does the gun need to be

for gunsmith part 1

[cosmic tinsel]

60

mayb 61

[topaz umbra]

5.45 39

[slender fjord]

anyone willing to show me around am new to the game

[topaz umbra]

im bad at headshots to, take me like 10 body shots to kill scav lol

[frosty compass]

which gun

[cosmic tinsel]

is PP available LL 1

[frosty compass]

oh

[topaz umbra]

ak 105

[ornate zealot]

you really do have to headshot at those levels

take it slow

[cosmic tinsel]

agree

[ornate zealot]

scavs won't kill you unless you're really slow

and if there's objects in the way

move cover to cover and push up in their face

scavs' biggest weakness is they're slow

you can push right into them and faceshot entire teams of raiders before they react

[dark root]

anybody here wanna go help me find prapor convoy on woods?

[signal cloud]

yo can i get help with the pocket watch quest \

[opal dome]

Yo if I log into my account on a different computer can I download tarkov on that computer? Or is it stuck on the one I bought

[hollow jewel]

You can log on a different computer

[opal dome]

Word ty brotha

[hazy goblet]

Can anyone get me 3 pack of nails I know it sounds like a trade but I really don’t think anyone would scam me of like 30k roubles in nails

[crisp nest]

what nero said

unless its way far away

like a country away

[fast vector]

Hey guys, im in need of space and have alot of ammo, where is the best place to get Thermite and Gpowder so i can get the ammo box from mechanic? any help is appreciated 🙂

[steel cape]

does reloading mosin still grant sniper level experience?

[pure marsh]

Yes

It's like 80 rounds I think before diminishing returns

[steel cape]

per raid?

[pure marsh]

No, it's like 80 rounds, wait 5 minutes, then 80, etc.

[potent crater]

is there an easy way to find iskra packs?

[knotty moat]

7.62 PS

all day

[hollow jewel]

Craft them

[potent crater]

but then what about sqaush and the other ingredients

i know i can buy the crackers from therapist but idk about tushonka and sqaush

[azure mulch]

there are 6 ration supply crates on reserve plus loose spawns, scavving that map is easy

[potent crater]

do you know what buildings they are in?

[azure mulch]

3 in black pawn 2 out front (on the truck near a medical one) and one in d2

[potent crater]

ok

[hollow jewel]

If you are standard edition then most of that starting ammo isn't worth the space it occupies. Imo you should sell the majority and just keep what you're using. But to answer your question, toolboxes and technical crates. Also, pistol cases hold ammo, you may be able to get one of those easier.

[crisp nest]

getting the flea is easier

and cheaper

[azure mulch]

black pawn basement specifically, and you can go straight up into the kitchen for loose food

[bold kernel]

scav on interchange and go to goshan, ive filled a scav bp full of food from there

[potent crater]

idk interchange too well i can only really get out and i dont know where to go and didnt pestily make a video on that?

[azure mulch]

goshan shelves are good too yea but i think more for small tushonka for general wares

[elfin pendant]

what is the difference between eotech xps3-0 and eotech 553? on the wiki the reticles look the same

[bold kernel]

they spawn squash tushonka and all the canned meats, you probably would have to get the crackers somewhere else

[potent crater]

you can buy crackers off therapist for 14k each

[vague gull]

i killed shturman and got the RR, good raid?

also got a keycard and SSK

[bold kernel]

the 553 has one central dot while the xps3-0 has 2 dots 1 moa apart

[crisp nest]

thats the 3-2

[elfin pendant]

no the xps3-0 only has 1 dot

[crisp nest]

^

[crisp nest]

but, @elfin pendant i answered u it in #beginners-chat

[bold kernel]

oh mixed em up then

[elfin pendant]

just saw thanks

[pure marsh]

Give please

[topaz grail]

question, when I do random looking for group and someone invites me, i get into a server that has 300 ping? I set all my servers manually.

[cosmic tinsel]

theres a 100% spawn on IC, if you need it still

[crisp nest]

u dont do random lfg because you get teamkilled is the 1st answer

also the host determines servers

[fast vector]

No i have EOD but i have alot of ammo and meds taking up most of my stash, where can i get a pistol case from

[cosmic tinsel]

i'm SHOCKED the issue is lag and not TKs XD

[hollow jewel]

The rapist ll2 barter

[rare kraken]

Good spot to find bronze lions?

[crisp nest]

labs?

[amber pike]

Ive been trying for 3 days to collect mp-133 shotguns on customs for the debut quest but I can never find scavs with shotguns. is there a better location on the map to look for them?

[crisp nest]

no

random

just buy

[rare kraken]

do a lot of beginners get lab access cards then run labs successfully :V

[crisp nest]

thats not what u asked

and the answer is in fact, yes

labs is low pop rn just has some cheaters

[cosmic tinsel]

the best non-labs answer is safes

[rare kraken]

thank you meevo

[cosmic tinsel]

but labs is a very good spot

if its something you vibe with

[crisp nest]

or....

the flea market

[spare merlin]

does need to be in good conditions though

[crisp nest]

yeah

[spare merlin]

so fence wont be good most of the time

[crisp nest]

jaeger?

get jaeger if u are level 2

[spare merlin]

play scav, find a scav that has it or spawn with it

then get some bad karma lol

[crisp nest]

unless its for living high is a crime and then you aint saying you a beginner then

[obtuse shuttle]

Are there any under rated cash runs for fairly new players. Starting to run low on cash trying to grind out those quests

[hot tree]

With lvl 2 he means do introduction quest

To unlock jeager

[crisp nest]

you gotta find one that works for u

[obtuse shuttle]

also, any suggestions for budget high power weapons, i quite like DMR's, but i feel like i suck with the SKS at this point

[cosmic tinsel]

underrated probably means unknown. stash runs. reserve runs. interchange tech or PC runs

[cosmic tinsel]

shotgun?

big ole cloud of headshot

[obtuse shuttle]

i tried interchange like 5 times, i absolutely hate it, i suck at it. might run it with a shotgun with flashlight

[cosmic tinsel]

the best thing you can do is not die

and fill your bags with loot worth 10k/slot

[spare merlin]

vepr maybe? :s

[obtuse shuttle]

yeah my last 3 deaths were to shotguns just getting absolutely sprayed at like 30m... feels shit but might start running them

[cosmic tinsel]

100%, wasnt sure if it was trader-able

[obtuse shuttle]

i'm down to like 100k

[rare kraken]

scavs?

[cosmic tinsel]

also you really need m80 for the vepr

[crisp nest]

vepr hunter

shotguns

[obtuse shuttle]

last one was 2 players just spraying me with shotguns from like 30m, before that was just players with slugs

[full elk]

Try doing a hatchet run on customs and just hit the hidden caches @obtuse shuttle

Or shoreline same thing

[crisp nest]

why would u hatchet run

[obtuse shuttle]

i had a fkn car bat, motor, 2 hoses

[cosmic tinsel]

you'll risk being tagged and cursed

if you hatchet

[obtuse shuttle]

then dies :(

tagged and cursed?

[crisp nest]

just bring garbage gun

[full elk]

Means scavs very aggro

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, if you dont go in with enough gear, scavs fuckin divebomb you

[spare merlin]

had this for god knows how many raids now

[obtuse shuttle]

oh yeah i remember hearing about that

[cosmic tinsel]

beautiful

[full elk]

I don’t think it’s a big deal if you’re doing a cache run

And know scav areas

But yeah bring a bad gun big backpack and hit caches

[obtuse shuttle]

is there a decent shotgun build for level 1 traders?

[full elk]

Stock MP133 is fine

[rare kraken]

stash runs on interchage are outside, and most are not near any scavs

[full elk]

Stash runs are pretty easy on all 3 maps

[obtuse shuttle]

is the MP113 trader?

oh nvm just found it on jager

[full elk]

Yes Jaeger I believe

[obtuse shuttle]

what ammo do you think? Express?

or i could go with one of the Poleva slugs but i don't think that'll do much without a clean headshot/leg meta

[full elk]

Just take the normal 7mm

I’d use that until you can get magnum buckshot

[obtuse shuttle]

7.5 is a bit cheaper, is there much of a difference?

[crisp nest]

rip the revamped valday

sadge

[full elk]

I’m not sure how much the difference is

I only use 7mm or magnum though

[obtuse shuttle]

7.5 has higher velocity but apparently has +35 durability burn

i'll just take like 20 7mm for now

[crisp nest]

7.5 is for the toz

bruh

[full elk]

Lol

[crisp nest]

20g is toz

[obtuse shuttle]

oh yeah

[full elk]

I thought that sounded weird

[obtuse shuttle]

oops

couldn't figure out the difference i was just staring at them going "hmmmm"

[full elk]

Take mp133, some 7mm, a scav backpack and hit stashes on customs/shoreline/interchange whichever you’re most comfortable on

[obtuse shuttle]

time to go run around customs for 15 mins

[full elk]

Another thing I did when I struggled early was just chill for like 10-15 minutes then start going. Let the Chad’s do their thing for a bit

Take the markers out

Unless you’re doing a quest

[obtuse shuttle]

i have the marking oil trucks quest

got 2 left

[full elk]

Got ya

[obtuse shuttle]

at gas station and uh

the bronze pocket watch one

[crisp nest]

i just did that one, theres a bug watch out

[full elk]

Those are going to be easier if you hit those late in the raid once the chads extract

[crisp nest]

if u do something that cancels the animation while u place it, u cant place it

[obtuse shuttle]

i was doing that one, got a nice 2 scav kills then got sniped from up on the hill by slugs :')

at gas

[crisp nest]

i was about to do all 4 in 1 raid but i alt-t at old gas while placing

and i couldnt do it anymore

[obtuse shuttle]

oh that's unlucky

[full elk]

I’d take a route along the woods at the top of the map and hit those stashes then rotate to gas and skeleton for the quest

[obtuse shuttle]

yeah think i will do

[full elk]

Or bottom of the map + old gas

[obtuse shuttle]

what's skeleton? the big construction site buildings?

[full elk]

Both good stash runs

[obtuse shuttle]

by bronze pocket watch one

[full elk]

Yeah in the very middle

Yep

I call them both skeleton but I think skeleton is mainly the bigger one

[obtuse shuttle]

yeah thought so

yeah i think i remember that from when i used to play before

[full elk]

Idk what you call the one closer to the river

[obtuse shuttle]

after my scav, gonna try go up to the top side of the map and move slowly to gas

hope there's no scav boss trying to make me play headers with a grenade

[crisp nest]

reshala is literally nadeking from csgo if yall know him

[full elk]

Just take it slow and use your ears for the new gas quest part

[spare merlin]

whats wrong with it :0

[crisp nest]

mf just kobe's me over random cover

[spare merlin]

works fine for me

[obtuse shuttle]

man, i hate scav players xD

[full elk]

It’ll probably be clear after you hit stashes

[obtuse shuttle]

friendly wiggle

gets shot in the head 5 seconds later

[crisp nest]

just not as good as b4

[spare merlin]

mhmm fair enough

1/10 scavs is an asshole for me, rest is all fun and trades

[full elk]

I’m loving scavs this patch

[obtuse shuttle]

I'm getting really shitty scavs recently

player scavs

[full elk]

When there’s like 5 of you in a circle just trading items

Fun stuff

[obsidian sphinx]

this probably isnt possible, but is there anyway i can make the vpo 215 non mag fed, as in can i just slam bullets into it

[obtuse shuttle]

don't think it has a side load does it?

[obsidian sphinx]

no but you know just in case i asked

well idak

[spare merlin]

4 of us just pointlessly kicking a door just now on reserve lol * BANG BANG BANG BANG *

[full elk]

Lol

[obtuse shuttle]

If you can find an internal mag for it, you can, otherwise nah

[obsidian sphinx]

i wonder

[full elk]

I would think you can top load it if you run with no mag

Like an AK

[spare merlin]

if you take only ammo and no mag you breach load right?

[proud gyro]

some got the oli logistics key so i can complete database pt.2?

[obsidian sphinx]

yeah but then youd only be able to put 1 bullet in at a time

[full elk]

That’s my understanding, at least on all ak platforms

[obtuse shuttle]

wouldn't it have like a 1 capacity tho

[full elk]

Yes

Lol

[cerulean apex]

@proud gyro i can help u if u want

[proud gyro]

please

[full elk]

But you just asked if you could

[crisp nest]

yeah but u have 1 bullet

no mag size

[obtuse shuttle]

anyway

[spare merlin]

well he wanted to slam bullets into it lol

[obtuse shuttle]

deploying so back soon

[full elk]

That’s what I’m sayin haha

[obsidian sphinx]

damn i c

[crisp nest]

u can do it though

[full elk]

Someone made a video recently taking AK rifles in with no mags just a stack of bullets and top loading after each shot lol

Looks like a kinda fun troll raid

[obsidian sphinx]

the pain

i tried a knife only raid earlier todsy

[full elk]

Hey teaches you to hit your shots lol

[obsidian sphinx]

today

stumbled across a eod pmc

[crisp nest]

bakeezy has a 1v1 for channel points where u 1v1 him with 1 in the chamber tt or is it pm

[obsidian sphinx]

dude stood there, did half a wiggle then started shooting

[jade plaza]

Any tips on getting kills while having a tremor?

[spare merlin]

reminds me, spotted a guy all the way down the length of the K buildings.. too far to tell what he was, wiggled at him and he wiggles back
as i come closer i notice its a pmc, we do some AD'ing with wiggles inbetween and finally come together. guess he wanted to extract together
i give him a bottle of vodka or something cant remember what, he gives me a HK 416 as i pick it up his buddy comes around the corner and keeps his sights trained on me. switched to knife and we went straight for extract, cool moment

fence only gave me the tan 1911 for it though :(

[obtuse shuttle]

man

i died

scavs can shoot through TREES

x-x

well leaves

Xray shit

got a tank and a few kills atleast

[full elk]

Anyone can shoot through trees

[obtuse shuttle]

yeah i worded that poorly

i just mean that leaves don't exist for them

they were completely invisible to me, killed 2 by shooting through the leaves/bushes that were in the way but got jumped by the last one :p

got one of my markers anyway

i'm just gonna be a shotgun goon from now on, that was nice

[full elk]

Shotguns and SKS are the way to go at the start

7.62 PS is such good ammo for how cheap it is

[obtuse shuttle]

going in again with an MBSS and MP133

[obsidian sphinx]

crouch, if youre using full auto focused guns youre kinda, frikked

[obtuse shuttle]

just found 20 AP /20 slugs, any way i can unload my gun and put those in in raid?

using MP113

nvm ded

[cosmic tinsel]

ctrl+R empties the chamber

you can spam it on any gun (with a closed bolt? maybe not PPSh?) but it usually makes the most sense sense with shotguns

[obtuse shuttle]

gotcha

i was pressing alt R x-x

[cosmic tinsel]

go to factory. apply vaseline/propital. jump off metal stairs, one flight, to break a leg. wait for tremor debuff to appear. go nuts. if you die or exfil, do not repair the limb.

[cosmic tinsel]

de-mags your gun 😄

[obtuse shuttle]

is alyonka worth much anymore?

[crisp nest]

use

tarkov-market

[obtuse shuttle]

gotcha

ah only 17

[full elk]

This is smart, ty

I’m also on that quest

[cosmic tinsel]

you got it 😄

the trick is figuring out exactly the right height to fracture but not black

which varies with equip load and strength/health, i think

[crisp nest]

go into labs just to go jump down server

[cosmic tinsel]

LOL

[cosmic tinsel]

you're not wrong

[abstract thicket]

would anyone be down to help me unlock the shooting range

i need to go to customs and get the leatherman multitool but every time i try and get it i just get shot in the back

[crisp nest]

u can buy multitool?

mech ll1

[full elk]

^

[full elk]

I would guess just the metal hallway down would work

That’s my first thought

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, i usually do the metal stairs right outside of forklift

halfway up to rafters

and send it

[full elk]

Oh I was thinking the hallway coming out of office

That would probably black though

Idk what that’s called I know there’s a name for it

The loud bridge hallway

[crisp nest]

everytime i dont have alu i break my leg there

both of em

[obtuse shuttle]

Holy shit i'm so mad

finally

finally get a good raid

and lose connection to server

fkn internet went off

for like 15 seconds

[full elk]

Ouch

[crisp nest]

1 time early wipe we went geared and we got dc while getting sniped

😔

[full elk]

@obtuse shuttle are you NA? I can play some with you here in a bit if you want

[wide solar]

is bp better than ps?

[toxic violet]

@obtuse shuttle where you able to join back

[minor lily]

[wide solar]

alright

[sick flint]

can somebody help me out with how to do gunsmith part 1? im lvl 10 and i dont have and teir 2 traders

[minor lily]

or throw away the insured gear and keep the bag with loot found in raid

[obtuse shuttle]

i think ISP just pushed an update

it came back on just now

gonna relaunch the game

hope i can get back in

[ember schooner]

Why is - On 98% of these quests, you can "Stack" the completion, I.e not need to do it in one raid....

And then some you have to do all in one raid, which it dooesn't tell you about...

[toxic violet]

wish you luck man

[obtuse shuttle]

i'm EU unfortunately, are we able to play cross server or no? I don't mind trying some NA if the desync isn't too bad

[crisp nest]

you could look at the wiki

it should tell u

[obtuse shuttle]

probably "story" reasons

[obtuse shuttle]

PMC died

[full elk]

We can, as long as neither of us go above 170 ping or we’d get kicked

[ivory bloom]

im not exactly a begginner but was wondering if anyone could help me on like 2 quests, halfway thru lvl 19 and just want to hit 20 tonight

[obtuse shuttle]

for fuck sake

[obtuse shuttle]

im usualyl 120-150 on NA, should be good

[ember schooner]

Wiki says you can do both those quests at the same time, due to being at the same place, and that you don't have to do it in one trip...

Yet clearly you do for the first

[obtuse shuttle]

well, im down to like 50k

:')

[full elk]

I’ll be on in like 30 mins if you wanna run some raids

[crisp nest]

idk i guess the wikis wrong

[obtuse shuttle]

sure, just ping when you're on, my ign is SpaceCowboy50 if you want to add

[full elk]

Gotcha

[full elk]

Can join me and Spacey if he’s cool with it

[ivory bloom]

im fine with whatever yall wanna do

[full elk]

It won’t be 30 I’ll be on in like 10 min @obtuse shuttle

[ivory bloom]

ill run some scav and stuff

[obtuse shuttle]

no worries

[ivory bloom]

just @ me when yall r ready

[obtuse shuttle]

man, i'm so annoying, i keep losing scav karma because i get jumpy after getting shot at by un friendly scavs :')

so annoyed*

can't type either apparently xd

[ivory bloom]

dude same

[obtuse shuttle]

also, i lost scav karma for killing someone who killed my scavvy friend :(

[ivory bloom]

like whenever im running around as a scav and i hear foot steps i get so paranoid

[obtuse shuttle]

sane lol

[ivory bloom]

and yea scav karma is minus -0.05 now, it was -0.02

[ember schooner]

Nah, Not as a scav unless you spawn with sommut decent

[obtuse shuttle]

worth though, just aquired ratcola

[ivory bloom]

noice

[obtuse shuttle]

How's the M870?

with 7mm buck

[sick flint]

does anybody know whats the best build for a vpo 209 if i dont have any t2 traders yet

[ivory bloom]

i like the M870, but 7mm is horrific

[obtuse shuttle]

i could run it with some t1 jager ammo :')

[ivory bloom]

use the magnum buckshot or my personal favorite "grizzly slugs" or "flettche" (cant spell)

[obtuse shuttle]

are grizzly slugs any good?

[ivory bloom]

i like em

there pretty solid

u wanna run some?

[obtuse shuttle]

I've only got express or griz

or 7mm, just t1 jager stuff

sure, can do

i'll get like 20, since it's a 4 rounder

[sick flint]

does anybody know whats the best build for a vpo 209 if i dont have any t2 traders yet

[ivory bloom]

ap-m ammo for it

with a scope and go woods

[crisp nest]

7mm is better tbh

[sick flint]

what kind of scope

does anybody know whats the best build for a vpo 209 if i dont have any t2 traders yet

[crisp nest]

nothing

itts trash without ap-m

[wide solar]

dayum i saw the stats on the ap-m and its goated

[rough scarab]

"7.62x54 ps one shots thorax"

dude got lucky as fuck

i went in with my pocket mosin ready to complete shooter 3 and got ks23'd cause it didnt 1 tap

[crisp nest]

it doesnt 1 tap thorax

only on c3 and under

c4 is a 50/50

[slow night]

i’m going to night raids, i’ve been getting fukt for days in all my lobbies out of nowhere

[rough scarab]

again

please nikita

[crisp nest]

use snb please

[rough scarab]

i bought 40 ps rounds im about to finish them

[copper depot]

do barters have to be done with FiR items?

[rough scarab]

no

[crisp nest]

on flea, yes

[rough scarab]

oh right

[grizzled lark]

can i play with some one that is good it is my first time playing

[loud crest]

[vivid fern]

is this a good key?

[hollow jewel]

you need it for a quest so yeah

also a keycard spawn in there

[elfin elm]

2 duffle bags, loose loot

[grizzled lark]

can i play with some one i am new

[elfin elm]

besides the quest

no great

[elfin elm]

how new, and which server?

[grizzled lark]

just got the game and na server a

[elfin elm]

cool, cool

I can help a little

have you played at all yet?

[grizzled lark]

in one right now

[subtle wing]

what am I missing? I get agressive I die, I hold a corner I die before I even see the dude. The one time I got the drop on him he tanked 13 rounds and killed me feels like solo play is a little more brutal than last wipe

[elfin elm]

probably positioning and ammo, couldn't say

tarkov's got a lot of variables

[subtle wing]

maybe just seems like whatever position Im in Im dead

wishing I did have access to the higher end ammo

[elfin elm]

it's usually not one big mistake

[grizzled lark]

@elfin elm want to call

[elfin elm]

but a bunch of little ones

dms

death by a thousand cuts you know?

[subtle wing]

yeah just frustrating haha trying to nail down how to improve and you're stone walled by in game cash haha

[crisp nest]

scav

[subtle wing]

havent survived one of them either

[elfin elm]

scav and cache run

interchange is your money map

[grizzled lark]

idk how to get out of woods

[elfin elm]

you still in your match?

[subtle wing]

yeah might swap up the maps my PMCs and scavs run see if that can help

[elfin elm]

private call dude

[grizzled lark]

@elfin elm ya idk how to get out

[elfin elm]

calling you atm

[dawn pagoda]

should I do tasks, I'm level 21 and I have no desire or energy to do them

[hollow jewel]

yes

[dawn pagoda]

i dont know i feel like you have to do a plethora of tasks in order to level up

[slow night]

or kill shit

headshots for days

[hollow jewel]

you need to do tasks for trader rep

[dawn pagoda]

yes i know

[steel cape]

are people buying thicc cases yet?

[buoyant crane]

yes...

[crisp nest]

yeah

mostly barter

tho

im gonna start playing again and go for 2 thiccs and keycards then labssssss

[west sage]

can anyone run me through teh bunker part 2 its fucking killing me

[steel cape]

why is the mosin almost twice as expensive as sv.98

dafuk is going on

not twice, but

[crisp nest]

ppl like the mosin

[steel cape]

35k vs 56k

thats stupid

[crisp nest]

they also might think sv98 has trigger delay still

[buoyant crane]

it aint cause ppl like the mosin

its cause the mosin got artifically hit with a nerf

[hollow jewel]

it is stupid but keep it between use because i like selling them at 55k

[steel cape]

tryin to figure out what kind of ammo to run with sv98

BS seems cray

[buoyant crane]

do you have flea

[hollow jewel]

pretty much any of them

[steel cape]

yes

[buoyant crane]

do you have cash

[steel cape]

yes

[crisp nest]

snb snb and snb

[buoyant crane]

then BT or SNB

[steel cape]

why would i need flea for that

[buoyant crane]

whichever is cheaper

because you're not going to find the ammo

you can find SNB but none of the rest really

[steel cape]

prapor sells it..

[buoyant crane]

and SNB is still rare contrary to what some ppl try to say

yeah if you have him leveled

[crisp nest]

snb is common af

[buoyant crane]

cool if you do

[crisp nest]

just go woods

[buoyant crane]

"just go woods"

I'd rather castrate myself most days

[hollow jewel]

PS, SNB, BT, BS are all going to perform mostly the same

[unreal horizon]

snb is very common on reserve too

[crisp nest]

yes

[buoyant crane]

it isnt

I play reserve as my main map

you can say its common, I can say its obvious you dont play the map anymore

[crisp nest]

skill issue?

[buoyant crane]

played it last wipe or early this wipe before the nerf

bet

[steel cape]

prapor selling Bt , snb etc.. i have him loyalty 4 so

[buoyant crane]

after the nerf its not common

[crisp nest]

i literally found so much on woods

5 raids and i have 3 stacks

[buoyant crane]

ok then why are you in #beginners-assistance asking for advice on ammo

sus

[crisp nest]

prapor 4 is only level 30 something

[steel cape]

because like u guys pointing out, the mosin ammo is almost similar in performance

its hard to tell

[buoyant crane]

what

"mosin ammo"?

[crisp nest]

just use snb

[buoyant crane]

the SV-98 and the Mosin fire the same bullet

[hollow jewel]

if you have prapor at 4 get PS, its the only one that can 1-tap the thorax sometimes

[torn matrix]

reserve is pretty packed all the time. however, when do pmcs leave?

[buoyant crane]

and yeah 7.62x54r PS is still high pen

[torn matrix]

asap? 10/15?

[buoyant crane]

and can one shot quite a bit

[crisp nest]

wow i must make the point that mosin and sv shoot the same ammo as if he didnt know that

[buoyant crane]

he literally said "mosin bullet"

saying they shoot different bullets

[crisp nest]

he said, what mosin ammo can i use in sv98, therfore obviously referring to 762x54r

[buoyant crane]

he said the mosin bullet has almost the same pen

are you dense

just trolling?

[light vector]

hey, is there any good enough youtubers that did some sorts of 'lets play' on tarkov until they reach some level. Like starting recording on wipe day and stops at level 10 so we can see how long he took, what he got and learn about the way he plays.

[crisp nest]

the mosin bulletS

read?

Hello friends! I am using do saying that the ammos for the 7.62x54R is very not stronk? I am later join wipe and need way to kill "giga chad"? anybady thinking that maybe this ammos need 1 tapping all classer 6? Becoz I am newer game and not very stronker and I just want be gooderest player and winning ez. Any helping me?

[crisp nest]

pestily

[crisp nest]

but last wipe

[buoyant crane]

"mosin ammo" is "almost similar in performance"

[crisp nest]

im not even gonna argue if you cant read

damn

[crisp fern]

PESTILY

[light vector]

did he do sum like this ?

[buoyant crane]

my guy you're trolling

be gone

[crisp nest]

yh

[crisp fern]

raid series

[crisp nest]

raid series

[light vector]

is it a playlist

[crisp fern]

plenty more

[crisp nest]

hardcore series

[light vector]

okay

[crisp nest]

yeah

[light vector]

thank you guys

[crisp nest]

1 for each wipe

last 3 wipes

[light vector]

💋

[crisp nest]

[candid timber]

can someone help me get jaeger unlocked?

[hollow jewel]

trying to imitate pestily's play style isnt going to get you very far tho

may as well be landmark while youre at it

[light vector]

just to see what he keeps and how far he goes on missions

[crisp nest]

he kinda plays "ratty"/passive

most ppl don't enjoy that

he also thinks new player can naked sks andkill ppl for gear

"no need for a bag"

he kinda biased too

he get nikita to add barters so he can finish kappa hardcore

[light vector]

got it

we're season 4 right ?

[crisp nest]

yeah

oh he has 4th wipe alr

nice

[steel cape]

ready for some tarkov shooter bullshit i guess

this is like 3 or 4 different quests in one loadout

the supressor cost almost twice as much as the rifle

what a bullshit

scope too

[merry berry]

Pso doesn't fit in it right

[cosmic tinsel]

suppressor optional for all but one quest

[dreamy turtle]

why do you need the hat

[steel cape]

protects my head from the rain

[hollow jewel]

duh

[dreamy turtle]

i see

[rough scarab]

I need to grind sniper skill for tarkov shooter

I’m only at level 1

[unreal horizon]

this may be controversial but Panama > new bucket hat

[dreamy turtle]

helmet > hat

i just triggered half the playerbase

[steel cape]

helmets dont even work

fuck it

[tulip whale]

I just wear whatever i have laying around in my stash or whatever looks cool with the outfit

[junior sun]

they dont work when everyone is slinging around m61 or bp

[steel cape]

they dont work cause head eyes yeet lords are everywhere

and scavs onetapping level 5 armor in thorax etc

cause why the fuck not

shitgame

[dreamy turtle]

literally not possible

[steel cape]

literally happened

[tulip whale]

Eh, most people dont have particuarly good ammo but most helmets are pretty low class and often leave some hitboxes exposed which is why they often arent effective

[cold yarrow]

probably got collateraled from arm or soemthing

[daring escarp]

hey any lv 20 here? need a small favor

[steel cape]

sektant onetap my thorax in level 5 armor

literally impossible to do anything

unreactable/unanswerable situation

[dreamy turtle]

definitely not one tap

[steel cape]

dog shit ai

[cold yarrow]

its just that your face is like 2/3 of your head's hit box

[dreamy turtle]

was prob a burst

[steel cape]

it was one blap and i died

[cold yarrow]

if it was one tap to you

it was desync

[tulip whale]

Depends on the round

[merry berry]

Why don't they say how many times u were hit

That should be a stat

[steel cape]

cultists and bosses ruin the quality of the game

[slow night]

just did a rat run on interchange and a duo rat squad spawned like mad fucking close to me, i killed them both but none of us had meds then i bled out. fun little meme run tho

[cold yarrow]

when do i get my survivor class identified

[tulip whale]

When you die you cna use the therapist heal to see how many rounds i took to kill you, but yeah it would be nice to see how many times you where hit in total accross a raid

[slow night]

whats that?

[marsh heron]

can some one hlep me with some quest? Id really appreciate it.

[tulip whale]

Its after you get enough experience, not sure quite how much you need but its a decent amount

[merry berry]

Doesn't it only say the type of ammo u got hit by

[cold yarrow]

its in your character info, based off what type of exp you accumulate you get identified as a certain type of player

[tulip whale]

Nah it tells you how many of that type of ammo hit you

[hollow jewel]

hard disagree on that one. raiders are a great part of the game

[merry berry]

Hm maybe I didn't pay enough attention

[steel cape]

raiders are not cultists and bosses

they dont have the same ape shit lazy AI that offers u no chance

[cold yarrow]

i got one tapped by raider on the Machinegun

they kinda OP when they on the machinegun

[hollow jewel]

well ok sure technically but they are just as dangerous

[steel cape]

hell no

[slow night]

pretty sure they literally are bosses in the game tho, like if u check ur boss kills

[dreamy turtle]

no

they arent

[dreamy turtle]

this is kinda true tho

[merry berry]

Wait do raiders and bosses have different ai?

[cold yarrow]

i think they got same, when i spawn in as a scav they move in a group

kinda like having hive minds

[unreal horizon]

^

[merry berry]

I know they're both aggro

[unreal horizon]

raider kills = boss kills so

[slow night]

thought so, thanks

[merry berry]

But idk if ones more aggro than the other

[dreamy turtle]

wat

since when

[hollow jewel]

their combat ai seems the same to me and the raiders often have better gear than the bosses

[unreal horizon]

at least last wipe

[hollow jewel]

there are other differences tho, like sanitar healing friendlies

[cold yarrow]

wtf

which map is he

i need to go there

[slow night]

shoreline

[cold yarrow]

in case i get shot up and have no meds as a scav i will go find him

[hollow jewel]

no he heals his friendlies

[cold yarrow]

aw

[hollow jewel]

although maybe with enough scav karma...

[slow night]

i dont think thats how it works, i dont even think he heals his guards arent they all just med stacked up the ass

[hollow jewel]

maybe

his patch notes said he heals friendlies

never seen it tho

[slow night]

thats kinda funny lol

[dreamy turtle]

maybe he drops them ifaks or something

[bold kernel]

any lower level people wanna run a few raids and do quests?

[hollow jewel]

looks like youre right, this is from the his patch notes "Sometimes he is loyal to the Scavs and can leave a couple of first-aid kits or other medical supplies for his own group members on location"

[sour wave]

does anyone wanna run some raid im lvl 5 pretty new just want to learn more and pick up tips

[vivid fern]

bro seems like rat style is meta

[junior sun]

is level 25 after 100 raids good progress at all?

seems like a dumb question idk

[turbid lichen]

What to do with Dog Tags?

[celest wasp]

Anyone have dorm 220 key

[potent crater]

what is ic?

[cosmic tinsel]

interchange

[potent crater]

ok i think i will try crafting them or just looking on reserve because i dont know ic too much

[steel cape]

lols, im liking the sv-98

[buoyant crane]

nice shot

[steel cape]

i barely had to lead, the velocity and trajectory is very high

[crisp nest]

barter or sell

[steel cape]

minimal dropoff

[cosmic tinsel]

got a 400m kill this morning with one

was rad

[steel cape]

;o

[crisp nest]

my best is 150 or was it 250m with an ak74m

[hollow jewel]

there are various barters for them but they require a ton of tags. I usually just sell them myself but be sure to keep 14 usec and 7 bear for quests

[steel cape]

my record distance on any game is arma 3 :P with 2.8km

not exactly the same but pretty funn shit

its like 3 seconds after u fire before the bullet connects, lol

[balmy atlas]

what is a good early game pistol

[steel cape]

glock

[balmy atlas]

and is the five seven any good?

[steel cape]

its good but personally i think pistols are useless

[pure mist]

Not tons

[balmy atlas]

well i need pmc kills with them

[pure mist]

You get a lot frankly

[balmy atlas]

so cant avoid em

[cosmic tinsel]

five-seven is best but costs like 3x as much as the 9x19

[steel cape]

they jump around like panicked donkey if u rapid fire and u cant hit shit even if it looks clean on ur end, fucking hate pistols

[hollow jewel]

5.7 is good with the good ammo, Imo the best early game pistol is the PM tho. use it jsut long enough to headshot a scav and take his weapon

[calm wraith]

@balmy atlas 5-7 is the best pistol in game.

[balmy atlas]

oh

[cosmic tinsel]

well, sr1mp is also best

but nobody uses the sr1mp bc it ugly

[crisp nest]

supressed with old pk06 was sexy

[hollow jewel]

and its called the shrimp

[calm wraith]

nah its an sr1mp

lol

[pure mist]

With ss190 I kept killing timmies on ic

It was funny

[hollow jewel]

shrimp. fite me

[crisp nest]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE1V8ScfCow

lol

[pure mist]

Shrimp good pistol

Tapped a lot of heads with it

[balmy atlas]

whats the best 5/7 ammo?

[crisp nest]

ss190

[balmy atlas]

no shit

good thing i have that

[hollow jewel]

ss190 will pen lv 4 armor

[balmy atlas]

sweet

[balmy atlas]

is the sformance ammo any good for shotguns?

[crisp nest]

no

hollowpoint slug

[balmy atlas]

whats a better alternative

[crisp nest]

it 2 shots legsbut it needs much more accuracy than 8.5 buckshot, which does the same

[hollow jewel]

yes if you are legging people

[steel cape]

hollowpoint ammo is a war crime

funfact

[crisp nest]

ap 20, 8.5

[balmy atlas]

cant get either : (

[crisp nest]

RIP be like

[crisp nest]

7mm then

[steel cape]

but im serious tho

[crisp nest]

headshot or 2-3 to the leg

[balmy atlas]

aight

[hard arch]

can you complete the cold blooded quests with pmcs you group with?

[steel cape]

military doesnt use hollowpoint ammo cause its fucking inhumane and causes catastrophic damage to soft tissue... meanwhile cops be like lol lets go with that

[dreamy turtle]

no

[hard arch]

rip

[crisp nest]

yeah i was about to say dont police use it

lol

[steel cape]

yea

[hard arch]

guess i'll try to get it done at factory

[steel cape]

the reason the military doesnt use it is cause as i said its inhumane and causes catastrophic damage. the cops use it because it shatters on impact which means there is less likelyhood of collateral damage caused by bullets passing through and hitting something in the background

this is some fucking morbid logic tho

[balmy atlas]

is the vector a weapon i should keep

[unborn acorn]

does anyone have the disease history keys

[balmy atlas]

i got one out of a cache

[dreamy turtle]

which one

[balmy atlas]

gen 2

[crisp nest]

45 or 9mm

[dreamy turtle]

9x19 has expensive ammo

[balmy atlas]

45

[dreamy turtle]

45 you can use when you get pk3

[balmy atlas]

damn

[dreamy turtle]

cause you unlock the good ammo for it

[crisp nest]

45 rip is big op too

[dreamy turtle]

oh yea that ammo kinda nice

idk when you get that

[balmy atlas]

also should i sell any barter items. I have 2 full scav junk boxes with barter items ive been hoarding

[dreamy turtle]

idk send a pic

[crisp nest]

wiki them to see if u need them

[dreamy turtle]

sell everything in red

[balmy atlas]

aight thank you

[dreamy turtle]

you can barter for a toolset and the shotgun off mechanic then sell the rest of your pliers/screwdrivers

[balmy atlas]

will do

[dreamy turtle]

sell to therapist and fabrics to ragman

[full elk]

You can sell some of the blue gunpowder too lol

[pure mist]

I like rip

But ap is good rn

[steel cape]

man

[pure mist]

Until people star running t5

[steel cape]

im really enjoying this sniper playstyle

makes the game COMPLETELY different

[wide solar]

why cant i put this on??

[cinder pasture]

in all fairness, 45 ap vector still tears through t5

[pure mist]

It can only be used with fast mt helmet

[wide solar]

oh

[dreamy turtle]

and the paper version

[pure mist]

Yes, but then 9mm will be better for pen

[balmy atlas]

are dogtag cases worth it?

[pure mist]

Yes

If you kill a lot

[cinder pasture]

You run into ttk cost vs reward tho- 9mil 6.3 and 7n31 are both hella expensive

[dreamy turtle]

honestly not rly since junkboxes are cheap af

junkboxes are like 800k rn

on flea

[balmy atlas]

well the dogtag box is half that

and takes one space to store 100 tags

[dreamy turtle]

i mean if you keep all your tags then sure

[balmy atlas]

aight

[dreamy turtle]

i just sell when my tag case is full

[cinder pasture]

no need to keep tags really- it's just an endgame trade and that's all

[wide solar]

bruh i bought for 1.1 mil

[dreamy turtle]

dw i bought for 1.7 mil on day 1

[pure mist]

Same I usually get 2

Sell one when both full

Keep one for barter

[slow night]

got a broken leg, time to queue factory until my survival rate is single digits while going for tremor headshots

[dreamy turtle]

basically me trying to kill killa

went from like 48% to 43

[pure mist]

Broken arm works better

Bring a mpx or something really low recoil

And spray heads

[slow night]

yea but i don’t have a broken arm :’(

[wide solar]

wtf i just lost my gun in offline mode

[dreamy turtle]

wat

[slow night]

i’m just going with five sevens

full naked

[wide solar]

its gone after i died

[dreamy turtle]

weird

[wide solar]

rip my only mpx

[pure mist]

For me I just ran other task until I get one

It will never go away without healing

[slow night]

yeah i have all the requirements for jager to level up except the quest points thing, and this is the easiest task i got atm so i just wanna bang it out

last wipe i got it randomly after pushing it off

[pure mist]

There are easier ones really

But this one have a bunch of following quest

Important to finish

[neat tinsel]

hey, im new and could use some help, anyone willing to hop into a game with me?

[slow night]

atm i have to either get 2 sniper levels, get a golden TT found in raid, or the headshot tremors

and my luck on customs has been abysmal, i have like 6 reshala kills and never got out of raid since i’ve had the quest except once when he didn’t spawn with the pistol

[tidal lantern]

3rd party reshala. I've got 2 golden TT from third partying

[opal aurora]

Is saiga-9 a good starter weapon?

[dreamy turtle]

not rly

[tidal lantern]

Get the pp-19 instead

[opal aurora]

Oh, do you know how much it costs to get without the flea market?

[rough scarab]

It’s good if you can tap heads

You can buy pp19 from prapor 1

[opal aurora]

Ah ok

[rough scarab]

Prapor 2 actually

[opal aurora]

Oh

[slow night]

wow lmao, got both on my second raid, made it out with a pimped svds too
