damn

glacial cedar
#

I killed a guy that had full mp7 apsx

#

t5 armor

cobalt vector
#

jesus

#

nice

#

dude pistols shoot behind me i swear i cant kill shit with one

glacial cedar
#

and then I wanted to fight the other 1 guy that I heard

#

without knowing his teammate was in a dark ass rooom opposite of texhno

#

didnt press a key

#

for prob like 5 mins

#

then I just thought there was one so ofcourse im going to push

#

and died

true scaffold
#

anyone new looking to play Eu

glacial cedar
#

also

#

they have to correspond

#

the 2 times

#

so that after one goes to morning

#

the other goes to night

cobalt vector
#

how do u increase ur scav karma

#

asking for a friend

glacial cedar
#

just dont kill any scavs

cobalt vector
#

it goes up passively?

atomic knoll
#

Nope

cobalt vector
#

oh

atomic knoll
#

Easiest way tbh is to use PMC vehicle extract

#

About 5 times per map

cobalt vector
#

wait, that on its own does it?

glacial cedar
#

I woudlnt know because mines is -0.71

atomic knoll
#

Yeah but it's a 1 time thing

glacial cedar
#

theres no point

#

I doubt

steel grove
#

mines -3 lmao

glacial cedar
#

any good gear

#

people dont pick up from insurance

cobalt vector
atomic knoll
#

U gotta kill PMCs or rogue scavs to level it

glacial cedar
#

just kill everything you see

cobalt vector
#

damn, thats rough

#

nah

glacial cedar
#

survival of the fittest

cobalt vector
#

before the update yeah sure

atomic knoll
#

Rogue scavs are defined by scavs which killed a non hostile scav

glacial cedar
#

mf

#

ive never seen anyone brag

#

about getting anything good from unclaimed insurance

atomic knoll
#

Have u seen labs?

#

U do realize everything on labs is uninsured?

glacial cedar
#

scavs dont even go into labs

#

you cant insure anything in labs

#

because you wont get it back from prapor

#

Unless I missread patch notes

#

nothing says that with this scav karma

#

people with good scav karma

#

get not picked up labs loot

atomic knoll
#
#

Insured Item Purchasing: Players can buy uninsured items from Fence (max level only, indicated by a crown icon similar to other trader levels) when they are lost in raid by PMCs

rare kraken
#

dont you need almost 300 pmc kills as a scav now

#

nerfed the fuck out of rep

signal gyro
#

If I'm already yellow weight going in I might aswell not bother right? Seeing as any more weight will just cripple me?

atomic knoll
#

Yup

signal gyro
#

Just save this kit til my pmc been the gym

atomic knoll
#

Not realistic to hit max rep

#

For average players

#

I'm still stuck at 1.44

#

And I worked my ass off for that

glacial cedar
#

in the video

#

all hes getting is garbage

#

sks,pistols

#

measuring tape

#

m2 rig

#

but its like the same price

#

almost

#

as it is on the market

#

kinda not worth it

cobalt vector
#

i mean im -0.09 and spawned with a bitcoin

#

so i could imagine if u have higher scav karma only better stuff

glacial cedar
#

all it says

#

is maxes out

#

at no pistols

#

guns with sights

atomic knoll
#

I like it as it kinda removes the need for pistol run tbh

glacial cedar
#

t4 armor

atomic knoll
#

Just scav in will do

#

With 0 risk to boot

glacial cedar
#

meh

#

pistol running interchange

#

works for me

atomic knoll
#

Feel free to ignore the system

#

It's not for everyone

#

U can always go in every hour for a killing spree if u wish

cobalt vector
#

thats what annoys me the pros of positve scav karma arent enough for people to not rdm on other player scavs

glacial cedar
#

exactly

cobalt vector
#

so the people that care about it are the ones missing out

steel grove
#

imo they are, but i wasnt aware of that until i got to like -1.5

#

and i kinda gave up on recovering from that

rare kraken
#

well 1.5 my scav is down to 13 1/2m

glacial cedar
#

I dont really use my scav runs at all

#

i just have so much

#

insured gear

rare kraken
#

95% of the scavs I meet dont shoot me

glacial cedar
#

from prapor

rare kraken
#

rest bait you

glacial cedar
#

that i constantly have undepriced paca armor with a backpack and a mask with apistol ready to go at all times

cobalt vector
#

i dead ass only scav for the chance of a good item spawn

glacial cedar
#

i buy an sj6 stim

#

and then almost always no matter the spawn

#

get atleast 1/3 of the good stores on interchange

#

and running caches on customs at night time 99% of the time has no contact with any other players

gusty vigil
ruby crescent
#

what is the best way to find gas analyzers besides interchange? I ran interchange for 6 hours straight, going to oli, then the 2 tech stores on first floor and not a single one

#

like im level 17, im still stuck on the therapist gas analyzer quest bc i cant find one. what else do I do lmao

sly saddle
dire eagle
#

Search every filing cabinet you find, and you'll have GAs in no time

sly saddle
ruby crescent
#

i mean ive been playing every day for the past few weeks and have found 1, i have no luck at all

#

i ran interchange for 6 hours straight yesterday, like idk if my luck is that bad or what

sly saddle
bold kernel
#

Anyone want a buddy to play with? I completed the first few missions so id be happy to help with those, if youre further than that id be happy to help anyways! DM me!

sly saddle
#

imo everytime your scav opens up run it to reserve and go straight to D2, loot all the filing cabinets

gusty vigil
#

why do ppl scav on reserve i legit get no loot from tehre

#

there*

gusty vigil
fallow terrace
#

also good for weapon mods

gusty vigil
#

what if there isnt any raiders

fallow terrace
#

and quite a lot of meds and food in the bunkers

gusty vigil
#

oh

fallow terrace
#

specially if you have the keys

cursive raven

gleaming heart

slate shadow
#

isn't there a bunch of campers down there

gleaming heart
#

at the end yes

slate shadow
#

i've been in the bunker once and it felt like a horror movie

gleaming heart
#

in the rooms by offices its not so one sided

slate shadow
#

someone was down there with us

gleaming heart
#

a decent scav can earn some nice loot down there if you get the drop on them

slate shadow
#

that's a nice thing to consider

#

they really camp in the bunker for that long?

gleaming heart
glacial cedar
#

bakeezy is really one of the best if not the best player currently in tarkov

#

that is also entertaining to watch

gleaming heart
slate shadow
#

lmao what fuckin goobers

#

absolute no life gameplay

gleaming heart
#

they leave maybe at 5-10 minutes left if they dont kill someone

#

ive been camped as late as 1:30 mins left

Rig I believe is top left across till bottom right

cosmic blaze
#

what do the question marks mean guys? does it mean i hit someone and didnt kill them?

errant yacht
cosmic blaze
#

ahhhh

#

didnt know i killed him lol

#

i shot, ducked, peeked back up and he was gone 🤣

vapid badger
#

is it just a general rule that as a scav you just fucking shoot anyone because every time i go in as one another scav kills me

cosmic blaze
#

i've had the opposite experience so far

#

pretty much every other pcav has been friendly

vapid badger
#

ive probably had 3 or 4 succseful scav runs just through filling my pockets quick and b lining for exfil

#

rest have been killed by plaayer scavs

cosmic tinsel
vapid badger
#

i did loot a millitary helmet and a decxent backpack off dead guys so he probs thought i was pmc

#

just annoying

cosmic tinsel
#

i accidentally killed a scav yesterday

#

thought he was pmc because there was another pmc right next to him killin scavs

#

confusion happens

#

i immediately died to the pmc after 👍

supple prawn
#

i gave the first multiple choice quest to therapist on accident, so should i give chemical part 4 to skier so i can unlock him fully?

cosmic tinsel
#

the multiple choice quests are really based on your personal goals

#

unlocking traders is good

#

and a worthy goal

supple prawn
#

can i still get both to level 4?

cosmic tinsel
#

yes

#

no matter what you do in multiple choice you can get all traders LL4

supple prawn
#

oh i see

#

i think ill give it to skier because generally therapist is easier for me

cosmic tinsel
#

completely reasonable

supple prawn
#

i say that as ive never gone to shoreline and suck at reserve

cosmic tinsel
#

i think i did skier both times

#

but theres no "right" answer

supple prawn
#

ok! thanks ^^

#

how do i record a clip in tarkov?

unreal horizon
#

A lot of people use the nvidia shadowplay thingy

carmine creek
unreal horizon
#

If you're on AMD you could use something like medal tv or obs

tepid garnet
carmine creek
tepid garnet
#

Its just so good.

#

Such an amazing software

carmine creek
#

yeah but its still a paid software where, obs and nvidia are free, obs had the replay buffer thingy you can set up to capture the last 5mins or similar, shadowplay has a built in "clip" system iirc that captures a minute or close to that when you get a kill (only tested it in pubg)

pure mist
#

it's all preference anyways

#

use whatever software you prefer

carmine creek
#

yes, and what works the best for your needs

supple prawn
#

whats the best craft for med level 2 right now? ive been doing defibrillators

stone oriole
#

Are there any lvl 1 traders that sell 5.45x45 NATO mags

supple prawn
#

check pk he’s the most likely one to have a nato mag but im not sure if he has those at level 1

covert gorge
#

Pretty sure pk

stone oriole
#

he doesnt have

shadow fiber
carmine creek
#

reconnect?

stone oriole
#

where would i get mags

shadow fiber
#

yeah but he wouldnt have just spawned he would have been standing right?

carmine creek
#

otherwise just loko through the traders like prapor, mechanic, peacekeeper

leaden skiff
#

Just getting started, anyone want to join me on customs?

carmine creek
#

the m855 and the m856 is something scavs with adars usually spawn with just so you know

sick flint
#

yea i looked at the stats of the m855 and it doesnt look too good

normal wagon
#

why isnt this working for gunsmith part 4

carmine creek
#

followed the wiki?

#

cause thats not exactly what you need now

normal wagon
#

all the stats are good for what he wants

#

49 ergo needed 48 or above

#

60 rounder

#

supressed

carmine creek
#

this is whatt worked for me

normal wagon
#

800 sighting range

#

4.7 kgs

#

i dont understand why mine isnt working

#

my recoil is all good too

carmine creek
#

pretty sure the wiki is oudated on gunsmith 4 and 14?

normal wagon
#

didnt follow the wiki

carmine creek
#

ah okey

normal wagon
#

was just going through parts in the gunsmith thing

#

yeah ill try your build fuck it

carmine creek
#

maybe you just need to change one thing

#

try using my foregrip and pistol grip @normal wagon

carmine creek

normal wagon

bold kernel
#

why i cant give proper m4a1 for punisher part 5 that he gave me as reward from punisher part 4?!

sand herald
#

you need an OMRG FDE

#

also i thought you needed an ACOG sight for that task?

#

your ergo is sub 51

#

you need the GLShock stock

torn matrix
#

is there an easy way to spend money on peacekeeper? i gotta spend 11k

stone shard
#

@torn matrix Convert your Rubles to USD

torn matrix
#

that coutns?

stone shard
#

As far as I'm aware, yes.

torn matrix
#

thats what i did last wipe. didnt know if there was a easier way

#

i convert. buy sights. selll to skier. lose minimal

shadow fiber
#

what scav case option can give red keycard

mystic hinge
#

will lobbies change depending on your level?

serene reef
#

as far as im aware there is no skill matchmaking in tarkov

#

aka it doesnt matter for the system if you're lvl 70 or 1

mystic hinge
#

ahhhhh

serene reef
#

but other maps are more/less worth for people to play

#

tasks over time move to different areas

#

so you will find way less chads on customs than on eg reserve

stone shard
#

,_, Reserves is a chad map

#

and it's scawy

serene reef
#

not even mentioning labs where everyone is geared and pro

stone shard
#

imagine having a labs keycard when you don't even have water

#

couldn't be me

mystic hinge
#

yeah i saw on yt how mfs run labs

#

can anyone help me witha couple runs?

dry belfry
#

Nothing easy about Reserve

#

AR scopes recommendations?

#

loving the holo xhs sights

#

#

Monstrum has come a long way for me with patch

#

Which MDR

next holly
#

just spawned next to 2 guys on custom
literally 20m apart
ran 5 feet and got killed
8 second raid

#

is this normal ?

shut forge
#

ya

serene reef
#

7.62x51

untold stratus
#

very normal

serene reef
#

never happened to me

next holly
#

damnn this is the first time and somebody told me people spawn far apart

dry belfry
#

Bring a big scope, Elcan or Valday.

crisp nest
#

the 762 mdr lots of people like the vudu

serene reef
#

but yeah you gotta be wary some places are like clustered with spawns

crisp nest
#

valday is kinda wack now

next holly
#

nikita wasnt saying he want less pvp ? this is literally 120% pvp i had 0 chance

dry belfry
#

Sadly, I haven't got flea yet to look at one

crisp nest
#

people know the spawns though

#

you probably accidentally ran towards another spawn

#

as they were pushing u

dry belfry
#

Spawns are better than they used to be, but people still know the spawns

next holly
#

these guys were 20m from me

#

i was still at my spawn lol

#

ran for 5 second

crisp nest
#

then you should learn the spawns

next holly
#

i know the spawns lol there is no spawns that close on the map

#

it doesnt show 2 spawns next to each other like that

cosmic tinsel
#

i mean you were 20m away from them after 5 seconds

#

theres gotta be a spawn

dry belfry
#

Where did you spawn exactly

#

$10 behind Big Red and he got killed through storage units

next holly
#

nope left of big red got killed from train

#

bridge side

crisp nest
#

you can get big red and die to trailer park

next holly
#

the guys were under the train

#

anybody got an updated map with the spawns ?

#

spawns on mapgenie are outdated

#

anyway 300 raids mainly custom this is the first time i fight in the first 4minutes

dry belfry
#

Lol

serene reef
#

idk how updated this is

#

but i use that

dry belfry
serene reef
#

:o

dry belfry
#

And thus I've determined this conversation is a joke

crisp nest
serene reef
next holly
#

well its true lol i always spawn next to big red and i nevvver fought there

#

only scavs

#

if i spawn custom side or dorms side i always have at least 4minutes before seeing anybody

#

im a rat tho so i stay next to my spawn lol

cosmic tinsel
#

big red spawns are factory jr

crisp nest
#

if u go dorms, u meet people in 2 mins

dry belfry
#

You stay in your spawns

#

But then you complain about dying near your spawns

#

It smells in here

#

💩

next holly
#

no i just asked if it was normal to fight in the first 5second on custom

#

since it never happened

#

u guys said yes

#

now i know

pure mist
#

?

#

what is that mean

cosmic tinsel
#

yes, its normal

#

we spend a lot of time advising people on ways to survive big red

next holly
pure mist
cosmic tinsel
#

the general move is move 10m from your spawn and hide

pure mist
#

doesn't happen a lot

cosmic tinsel
#

or just yolo it and cross the river as fast as you can

pure mist
#

but ive killed people around 5 second mark

next holly
#

man ive alllllllways ran big red W key and spend a looot of time there and never ever fought somebody beside scavs

pure mist
#

just check where people might go

is it good to have more ergonomic or

torn matrix
#

Altyn factory man.

cosmic tinsel
#

ergo: faster ADS, quieter ADS, less sway (i think), less arm stam drain, and USUALLY a shorter gun that doesnt get caught on doors as much. its good for cqb, mostly

#

shorter guns = better ergo. better ergo does not change gun size afaik

wooden kindle

how often does reshala spawn at each location? I've checked gas a ton this wipe and his sex dungeon a ton too and never see him. Is it evenly split between spawns or is dorms much more likely or something?

Loot all those disgustingly loud babies

bitter radish
#

I know its 30~ but i didn't know if he had more chance for one spawn over the other. like it calculates ~33% chance to spawn on the map, so then if he happens to spawn, I wasn't sure if maybe it was higher chance of dorms being the location, or something. Maybe based on there being like 3 different floors or 2 different buildings etc, it calculates seperately. or is it just evenly split between all locations?

flash drives are fairly rare loot its like getting upset you didn't get a lab keycard on your scav two scavs in a row.

#

patience and keep looting them safes sonny

novel patrol
#

And those filing cabinets....they upped the spawn rate in them I swear

cosmic tinsel
#

theres 7 safes on customs

novel patrol
#

I walked out of a raid with 6 of them

cosmic tinsel
#

they all require keys

#

shorelines got many 11, and 6 of em dont need keys

west plover
pure mist
#

flash drives aren't really that rare tho just loot safes and filing cabinets you'll get them eventually

cosmic tinsel
#

crafting works for the last 3 flash drives you need

#

but you're effectively gated for the first 2

pure mist
#

i had pretty bad luck finding those but they shouldn't be that much of a problem

royal blaze
cosmic tinsel
#

i gotchu. but for the record, i recommend shoreline for safes

glacial cedar
#

when you order happy meal

#

where is happy

celest dagger
#

In a tier list id go customs shoreline reserve if you are solely looking for safes

cosmic tinsel
#

customs and reserve both require keys for the majority of em

#

shoreline does not, and has more keys, and has them in less populated areas

#

we can prefer different things, but this is why shoreline is best imo

novel patrol
#

Reserve has tons of filing cabinets without keys needed

celest dagger

Shoreline is sniper paradise and so large that it takes forever to cross the map

i'm actually fairly experienced and have several thousand hours but am a 'beginner' when it comes to reserve, i've done like 3 raids on the map. HOW is it played, what are the tips and tricks, best way to learn, necessary things to start running it? Do I need to buy a red rebel 100% before doing that map?

#

sorry

novel patrol

fair, what would you recommend?

novel patrol
crisp nest
#

just drag down

#

and guns do have "spray patterns"

celest dagger
#

you dont need a red rebel for reserve, although its nice, my main tip for reserve is do your scav runs on it and look all over the place, shit spawns in every crack and crevice. Dont be scared to go down into the tunnels you just need to be careful

novel patrol
#

Every gun has some sort of recoil that you can counteract

crisp nest
#

they have different amounts of kick in the first burst

supple orbit
#

i just die and im not sure if its a skill thing or gear thing

crisp nest
#

hk has high first shot recoil

celest dagger
#

Ur right let me just pull down this ash 12

crisp nest

semi and drag down

novel patrol
crisp nest
#

kinda like sar in rust

#

imo

novel patrol
#

I mean bringing up ASH-12, one of the biggest recoil guns in the game as a comparison for a 100-150 vert recoil gun is a little wild

celest dagger
#

See thats the thing you are comparing it to rust

#

You cant control it like you control an ak

bitter radish
#

what do you MEAN learning a gun

#

this game is NOT rust or siege or something lol

celest dagger
#

Thats the point im trying to get across

supple orbit
#

just figuring it out i guess. i dont know what im talking about lol

crisp nest
#

i played rust for a week

#

its a good comparison

#

different guns have different kick

celest dagger
#

Ive played rust for 3000 hours its not

supple orbit
#

i enjoy rust

bitter radish
#

there are no recoil patterns there is like 'class of gun' learning kinda. LIke shotguns are more headshot based peaking, ars are more tapfire for long distance or spray, but like... Specifically learning a single gun doesn't make sense

crisp nest
#

not just the stat

#

the gun matters

supple orbit
#

how do i also not get spooked. i get afraid to open containers and shit because im afraid ill get domed

novel patrol
celest dagger
#

Sure you can counteract the recoil some but you cant control it completely unless you wanna look at the floor when you are done shooting

celest dagger
crisp nest
#

the recoil is so low in this game

celest dagger
#

Okay

crisp nest
#

you slowly drag for the first few shots

#

then stop

pure marsh
#

Yup

crisp nest
#

the recoil isnt continuous

pure marsh
#

CSGO recoil is funny asf

crisp nest

idk why you are exaggerating everything so much to try argueing

thats sad

#

you should try doing the rat way

#

using scav until you get a shootgun and then with the pmc raiding at night

bitter radish
#

for close quarters maps its hard to be sneaky, you should play more aggressive than normal. If you can avoid a fight, do it. But if you know you are going to fight them, play aggressive. Peakers advantages is big.

turn corners full send, just turn and aim and be mentally shooting already yknow

# light shore anyone have any tips for learning woods

Use the big giant sniper rock as reference. Also use the river/ponds as reference to know youre on the north side of the map. The power plant silos mean you're on the bottom right of the map. Scav House means you're bottom left.

Avoid lumber yard unless you love death and murder. Take it very slow. Stay OFF tall rocks. Do not peak from rocks unless you want to die. Great vantage point but also everyone and their mother scopes in on the top of every rock within a 400 yard radius every 5 seconds

Where can I find raiders to farm for the mags?

but actually raiders are on reserve and labs only afaik. Wait don't cultists sometimes drop good mags too?

labs best way to find mags

for getting 12ga shotgun headshots on scavs would you guys recommend buckshot or slugs like i don’t wanna accidentally body them with spread but i figure they are still more likely to die from a headshot with buck

bold kernel
#

i wouldnt say at any particular level, im level 41 rn and i dont even run it, the map is difficult

#

@slow night i used slugs for mine, but buckshots work too. is that the quest on shoreline? i found slugs were nicer cause i was generally fighting scavs at a range

slow night
#

yeah shoreline, i guess i’ll give slugs a go, i haven’t really used them much is the bullet drop rly bad or not so much

high mason
slow night
#

alright thanks

bold kernel

@slow night depends on the slugs, theyre all different. i used ap20s for mine and they have lil to no bullet drop, but theyre expensive rounds unless you have jaeger leveled up
