@elder zodiac

yo

[daring aspen]

What level of intel center do I need to craft flash drives?

[pure mist]

they can have that lol

[versed vigil]

Ah well, I swear IDK how someone can say the STM is good

[karmic oasis]

Can cultists spawn mid raid, but not just when the clock hits 2200? EG: If we go in at 3 am and there are no cultists at the start, can they spawn later?

[versed vigil]

it's like an oversized glock

[pure mist]

stm is never good

lol

[versed vigil]

some people defend it to the death

[pure mist]

lol there shouldn't be an argument

stm is bad

end of story

[crisp nest]

meme

[strong barn]

Yes

they can also despawn mid raid if you start the raid during the time they appear and it extends out past the 'end timer' or 5am i think

[silent hollow]

what does this mean?

[versed vigil]

speaking of cultists, where cna they spawn? any place? Just specific areas?

[pure mist]

which map?

[strong barn]

Shoreline and woods have the highest spawn rate of 32% i think
customs is 20% @versed vigil

[pure mist]

for ex on customs they like to hang around fortress and crack house area

[strong barn]

In customs they spawn around the fortress; all the way out to elbow/crackhouse and mechanics garage; out to the railway towards old gas station and anywhere in between

[pure mist]

on woods: near marked circles

[strong barn]

SHoreline they hang out at Spine near cottages; and the area north of the swamp in the forest too near that player spawn out as far as the house you have to mark for peacekeeper above the church---its basically a massive radius around the church in the swamp

[pure mist]

shoreline is mainly the swamp i'd say

[versed vigil]

shoreline

[strong barn]

ill circle it one sec

[pure mist]

so yeah

spine and swamp

[versed vigil]

thanks guys

[crude citrus]

put the bags inside of eachother

i have like 20 berkuts i keep reusing stacked like that

[strong barn]

@versed vigil

@versed vigil

Im not circling customs cause its kinda easier to understand

gl hunting

[marsh heron]

can you just join any beginners help vc?

[eager flume]

Can someone help me fix the control panels for farming pt 1

[lament gust]

have you got the toolboxs?

[eager flume]

Yea

[lament gust]

i can't go personally, but if nobody joins you, you can just pistol run one at a time with the toolbox in your container

i wouldn't do both at once

[crisp nest]

^

i did both but i was in a duo geared up

[hybrid crescent]

whats the best way to do the 3 pistol kills?

[bold kernel]

anyone have spare Trailer park portable cabin key for skier golden swag task i dont have flea market

[signal gyro]

I just ran hatchet with the tollkit in my container, dying doesnt affect it at all so you either do it or just get to try again

[eager flume]

Ight thanks Ill do that

[bold kernel]

should i sabotage therapist and give supply plans to skier?

[silent hollow]

and should I start using my m4s or just buy sks like pestilly gear guide says

[crude citrus]

sks is better out of the box

meta m4 is great but expensive

[silent hollow]

ok thanks

i stacked all my bags…what should i use in a raid?

pestilly level 1 gear guide stuff?

[unreal horizon]

headset+sks is fine to start

[silent hollow]

and should i sell all mp5s and random weapons? still have a ton of stuff in my inventory

[radiant rain]

unless you have a supply of M856A1, M855A1, or M995, you're way better off using 7.62x39 AK's/SKS or 5.45x39 AK's if you have BP/BT/BS/Igolnik

[silent hollow]

so what do i do with my m4s

[radiant rain]

picking USEC is a slight worse start due to how bad M855 ammo is compared to 7.62x39 PS

[radiant rain]

sell them and finance your raids, or keep them if you have the space for a day where you have some of the mentioned ammo

[silent hollow]

i’m going to just use them uninsured and if i die it’s fine…

[lament gust]

m855 is good right at wipe day but falls off fast

[digital hazel]

could someone help me with the customs bunkhouse key?

ive been searching for quite a bit and still have yet to find it

[radiant rain]

don't forget that the gun is for the most part irrelevant, the ammo is important. you wouldn't run 5.45 AK with the worst ammo, so why the M4

[silent hollow]

just to use them and get better weapons in raids…i need space so if i die it doesn’t matter

unless you think it’s better to sell for 35k each and buy sks or ak

[radiant rain]

you would be bringing a Ferrari with a 20 horsepower engine to a race event

[silent hollow]

ok lmao

so i’m going to sell

[radiant rain]

you can also keep some of the attachments and slap those on your other guns that you're using

[silent hollow]

ok

what gear should i buy to raid with?

weapons armor headset

[radiant rain]

quick tip, if you remove the magazine and pistol grip, most if not all guns turn from a 2x4 into a 1x4, saving up half the space

[radiant rain]

what level are you?

[silent hollow]

2

but i reset my account once when i lost all guns

so i have more experience than lvl 2

745,000 rubles

[crisp nest]

uh you dont get 762 ps as a bear either

[radiant rain]

Prapor level 1

[crisp nest]

yeah and thats available to both factions

how is usec a worse start now that cobra sight is bad

[radiant rain]

buy whatever armor you can afford from ragman, and try to bring out some scav armor back home.

you're fine using a VPO-136 from skier, it's 32k and gives you some options for modding as prapor and mechanic sell parts for it. you can also use an sks fromprapor which is 10k cheaper but has little to no modding options

[radiant rain]

the ak's BEAR start with can be modded before the very first raid, while the M4's USEC get leave you little to no options, unless you sell your provided guns to buy the guns BEAR get

[crisp nest]

both of them can add sights at level 1

nothing else

[radiant rain]

flashlights, front grip on ak's too

[silent hollow]

and a sling bag?

[radiant rain]

if that's the only thing you can get, sure

but they take up more space than they provide, so they are space-wise not efficient

[silent hollow]

should i sell mp5 too

[crisp nest]

true, but you can sell most of the starting items anyways

[bold kernel]

need help finishing a task need help quick on factory

[lament gust]

Skier sells a m4 handguard that can attach a 2 inch rail from mechanic and a flashlight at lvl 1

[crisp nest]

usec is way better because of voicelines

[radiant rain]

opinion

[silent hollow]

i’m buying the vpo and some attachments and then i’ll insure it

[lament gust]

How are you going to tell someone to ceasefire as a bear

[bold kernel]

speak russian

[lament gust]

depends on your servers then i guess

[radiant rain]

you're fine using something like this, flashlights are far more useful than lasers since you can blind (at least a little bit, even on day time) people in close ranges, and they give you the same spray reducing effect like lasers when point firing

[radiant rain]

tell em, i encounter a lot of russians so the argument of "more people understand english" isn't that valid since a lot of players know the bear voiceline for "don't shoot"

[silent hollow]

what ammo for vpo?

[radiant rain]

7.62x39 PS is absolutely fine, you can get it from prapor

[silent hollow]

and what attachments?

[radiant rain]

@silent hollow

[lament gust]

i don't mean more people understand english, it's just I'm NA so more newer players don't understand the bear voicelines

[silent hollow]

oh thanks

[radiant rain]

that's probably true

maybe being familiar with more than just one language is an advantage afterall

[lament gust]

i almost never encounter bears in NA anyways, and they usually don't do voicelines because they expect me not to understand

knowing russian would help knowing what scav bosses are doing because of their lines

[radiant rain]

funny, because some boss voices have been replaced with regular scav voices because...well...they're fucked lmfao

[solid maple]

can someone help me with the bunker part 1

[silent hollow]

how do i know where to get all the attachments for vpo

[lament gust]

ak parts are usually from skier or prapor

[radiant rain]

handguard from prapor
flashlight, rk-6 front grip and ring mount from skier

[crisp nest]

and you aren't stating an opinion?

[radiant rain]

no

[lament gust]

what guns/ammo does bear start with anyways?

[half bane]

looking for someone to play with

[crisp nest]

60 bp 545

120 ps 545

2 ak74m

same pst as usec

but pp19 not mp5

[humble wing]

Is this really good stuff cause i just murdered a man https://streamable.com/iq1eyg

Is it worth much

[silent hollow]

@radiant rain i don’t have euros to get flashlight

[crisp nest]

quite damn good

[radiant rain]

they sure don't get ammo for their M4 that can compete with 5.45 BP

[crisp nest]

not the best but very good

[radiant rain]

you can buy € from skier

[crisp nest]

at skier 2

not at level 1

[humble wing]

whats the best part the gun or armor?

[crisp nest]

both are good but 45 isnt that insane tbh

if it had 45 ap thats a good gun

45 rip too

[humble wing]

it has 45 amp

ap

[radiant rain]

okay since you got some decent amount of money, you can buy the ring mount from mechanic and the flashlight from peacekeeper for $ (i should've mentioned that earlier)

[crisp nest]

his armor is good but its the heavy full body version

which is subpar to the high mobility version

[silent hollow]

but none of the attachments work on the vpo136

[crisp nest]

overall its very good

[humble wing]

is the nightvision good

[crisp nest]

yes

the best

200k nv

[slow night]

40k euros down toward solar power, my budget chad kit has been treating me well

[humble wing]

damnnn

[radiant rain]

get the AK-100 series handguard from prapor, that one has slots for the ring mount that holds the flashlight, and for the rk-6 front grip

[lament gust]

you need to attach the better handguard first for the attachments to show as compatible with the gun

[humble wing]

i have no clue how he didnt even look at me to shoot

he should have heard me

[radiant rain]

@silent hollow this handguard is what you need

[crisp nest]

he was busy looting marked room idk maybe he was thinking u were a scav

[humble wing]

possibly

[crisp nest]

he must be sad dying because luger cci is kinda uh

shit ammo

[humble wing]

ik

i was just running it cause i had it on hand

and its better than pst

[silent hollow]

but where do i put it

it says the slot is not empty

[crisp nest]

take off the current handguard lol

[radiant rain]

show screenshot?

like ErV1S said, you need to remove parts you want to replace. (double click the gun and remove the parts you want to replace)

[silent hollow]

lmao thanks

[crisp nest]

vpo goes crazy i was killing people on customs yesterday with it

i was running bastion cover and deltapoint bcause thats my favorite sight rn

[late ermine]

could someone help me get some tasks done

[silent hollow]

also what rig?

cheapest one

[radiant rain]

honestly, whatever you can afford. level 3 armor at best since that's the best you can get from ragman right now. try to bring some level 4 armor from scavs/loot out of your raids..

[radiant rain]

if you're around tomorrow, i'll help you with your missions. i'm saying tomorrow since i'm gonna hit the bed soon (21:00 rn for me). i'm way more active on the Sherpa HUB, if you're in there be sure to ping me

[silent hollow]

is this good? Got two of everything and ill insure it

[crisp nest]

dont bring armor

bring a headset

**dont buy armor

run c4 from scavs

[radiant rain]

yeah that's alright,you can also buy headsets from prapor

[silent hollow]

so no helmet either?

[radiant rain]

he...he doesn't have it.

[slow night]

is killing a scav with a headshot and looting him enough xp to not get a run through, i know run throughs don’t do much atm but i still don’t want to get any. i usually stay for 2kills at least but sometimes i die then have to go again to finish a quest or something

[radiant rain]

bring armor and helmet.

[crisp nest]

i said dont buy armor

not dont bring

[radiant rain]

insure it. if you find better armor, hide yours and wear theirs. your armor should return with insurance.

[radiant rain]

he literally has no other armor, don't tell people to go into a raid without armor

[crisp nest]

u think paca does something

[radiant rain]

it helps against buckshot, to an extent

[digital garden]

i mean paca has saved my life

[radiant rain]

it's called scav protection for a reason, and some armor is better than none

[crisp nest]

a beginner isnt going to be profiting in their raids if they run more than half their budget on armor

[crisp nest]

not even a bag

[radiant rain]

it's gonna return nonetheless and the paca negates the chance of them getting one tapped to the chest by a buckshot scav. one less thing to worry about.

[crisp nest]

you cant expect a new player to kill people for a berkut like pestily does, hes biased

[radiant rain]

stop jumping to extremes

[silent hollow]

i’m going without paca and with helmet

[radiant rain]

you shouldn't do that

[crisp nest]

do the opposite

helmet never gonna save u

1/50 raids maybe

[silent hollow]

so with paca without helmet

or no armor

[radiant rain]

always bring armor and always bring a helmet @silent hollow
also get yourself a backpack from ragman

[radiant rain]

bro, stop doing the opposite

[crisp nest]

you literally said that m4 has no modding options when it does

"bear is better as ak can be modded level 1"

so can m4

and you get english voicelines

[radiant rain]

i said little to no modding options, don't twist my words

[crisp nest]

same modding as ak

why is ak having so many options then?

[radiant rain]

try putting on a flashlight on an M4 before your first raid, see how that goes

[crisp nest]

skier has the tiny 2 slot handguard

the urx?

[crisp nest]

try putting one on an ak without asking someone, as a new player

[hard crest]

Hey, I need some help with some quests I'm soft locked at. Need the keys for healthcare privacy and/or disease history and can't buy them because I'm level 16. Is anyone who has those willing to help?

[lament gust]

never bring a helmet if you're not bringing body armor

[radiant rain]

AR-15 Magpul MOE, good luck getting M-Lok mounts for that.

[lament gust]

you're good now though in the picture

[crisp nest]

barter a usb

[lament gust]

mechanic barter

[radiant rain]

where's your usb before your first raid

[silent hollow]

should I do without armor and helemt?

[lament gust]

do a scav or use mp5

[radiant rain]

if you want to play smart, take a helmet and armor.

[crisp nest]

you think a new player is gonna be using a flashlight properly to blind and not give away their location

[radiant rain]

the discussion was literally about modding guns before the first raid

[lament gust]

nah bring what you have on now

[silent hollow]

ok thanks a lot

to all

[radiant rain]

you seriously expect players to keep usb's to barter them for m-lok mounts

[lament gust]

you're gun doesn't need to be fully kitted first raid

[crisp nest]

and you recommend a brand new player who already probably scavs a lot if he has 800k by level 2

[crisp nest]

to run expensive kits

[radiant rain]

doesn't have to be but it sure as hell is an advantage

[slow night]

voice lines are too fun to pick bear in a region where everyone speaks english. picking bear or usec based on starting gear doesn’t make much sense in the long run

[lament gust]

not much of one at lvl 1 traders

[radiant rain]

flashlight >>> no flashlight

[crisp nest]

and as a level 1 player

[crisp nest]

factor in cost

[lament gust]

it's mostly about the weapon and ammo at first

[silent hollow]

so have I just wasted my money on this gear

[lament gust]

no you're good

[crisp nest]

no but unless you lose to shotgun scavs dont run armor unless you are good with money

[lament gust]

just be sure to use the flashlight you have

[crisp nest]

if you have to scav often, you're doing it wrong

[slow night]

i think until your max hideout (if your going for it) you should scav run off cool down. i go factory every raid and just sprint to extract, most scav kits are 50-100k and it only takes 5mins to queue get out and sell everything

[gentle ingot]

anyone help organize stash

[hard crest]

Hey, I need some help with some quests I'm soft locked at. Need the keys for healthcare privacy and/or disease history and can't buy them because I'm level 16. Is anyone who has those willing to help?

[silent hollow]

ok thanks

[crisp nest]

🤡 this guy is saying we have bad advice in sherpa hub lol

[radiant rain]

absolutely

"don't bring armor"
"don't bring flashlight"

[crisp nest]

yes

[lament gust]

don't bring paca

[crisp nest]

tell a guy to run 200k kit when hes new

[lament gust]

waste of money

[radiant rain]

what 200k kit

[crisp nest]

i wonder how he gets that money

[radiant rain]

stop jumping to extremes

[crisp nest]

(scavving)

[crisp nest]

sure 125k-150k

if you want a bag or not

[radiant rain]

no wonder this place has such a horrible reputation, you go ahead and keep telling new players to not bring in gear into their raids, i pity them.

[crisp nest]

keep crying to your friends in other servers then

idm at all

[lament gust]

Paca isn't going to stop anything from players

[crisp nest]

most people are happy with my advice and it works well

[radiant rain]

same, that's why i became a helpful member in sherpa hub.

whereas you...well, good luck with your raids my friend

[crisp nest]

and i had that equivalent here until i had to argue with people like you

[radiant rain]

uhuh

[slow night]

a new player doesn’t need to go bear for the sole purpose of having a flashlight on their first raid. giving any new player the advice to pick bear for that reason is silly, most players will want to use voice lines at some point in the wipe and be understood. it almost feels like your trolling

[crisp nest]

english voicelines are a reason

[lament gust]

i see why you told him to bring the vpo snd it's attachments, but paying 50k or whatever it is for a paca isn't a good deal

[crisp nest]

otherwise everything else is opinion

you can be biased if you want

[astral plume]

i just died, doesnt say by who

[crisp nest]

out of bounds

did u get 2 tapped

[astral plume]

i was doing car extract on woods

[lament gust]

and a helmet without decent body armor isn't smart either

[lament gust]

if you walk too far past the car you die

[crisp nest]

he keeps complaining idk what his problem is

[astral plume]

ok thanks

[crisp nest]

i dont think sending screenshots is allowed(rules) but what a personality

speaks from bias

cannot back up claims

then goes to talk in an echo chamber

and i forgot the best part he is superior as he has the helpful member role

😎

[unreal horizon]

hes a weirdo move on

lmao

[lament gust]

also I'd probably run a sks instead of vpo for first raid but whatever

[reef spoke]

Hmm.

I wonder if they changed the code of conduct requirements for helpfuls since I left.

Pretty sure "being an asshat" can get you kicked.

[crisp nest]

i like vpo because sks queues shots when you cancel reload

sometimes

and the 30 rounders because i forget 20 rnders for sks xD

[kind sparrow]

Use Hunter SMH

[unreal horizon]

yeah from lvl 1?

[crisp nest]

i need jaeger 3 smh

sadge

i should grind but i cant do anyquests without certain items

[digital garden]

i have about 1.5 mil rubles and my stash is getting filled up really fast, should i buy the lucky scav junkbox?

[crisp nest]

if you can run like 3 kits after getting it, yeah

make sure u dont go broke

[digital garden]

yeah, i have guns rigs and backpacks

thx

[late ermine]

could someone help me get some tasks done

[silent hollow]

Is this a good raid from what i started with

[crisp nest]

its decent

when ur new its good

[slow night]

any raid you survive is a good raid

[silent hollow]

ok

[kind sparrow]

It's a start, extra guns to play around with and what not

[silent hollow]

should I sell my mp5s or no

[kind sparrow]

no

good starter weapons imo

[crisp nest]

^^

def

[humble wing]

which one is better?

[spice glade]

Would someone be willing to sell/trade me a keytool? Don't have access to flea market yet

I'll even just take one as a mark up from one anyone buys off the flea market

[humble wing]

i would but its more than 280k

[bold kernel]

hi guys

Is that a player with a scav name or what?

[hollow thorn]

Just a scav

[bold kernel]

Then why is there report button?

[hollow thorn]

Player scav likely

[bold kernel]

Did this came with the new update? Because this is first day that i see this

That means we can now identify if being killed by player scavs?

[hollow thorn]

I’ve never looked too close so I’m not sure

It could just be a cheeky player with a scav name

[bold kernel]

I had this two runs in a row also i read that you can't have spaces in your name. anyway thank you for responding

[naive prairie]

yo does anybody have dorm 206 or the tarcone directors key i cant do either quests becasue i cant find the damn keys

[arctic atlas]

the tarcone one isnt that hard to find from my experience

[royal belfry]

wait the vector got pushed to ll4 too?

[crude citrus]

Always fun to loose a kit to shitty netcode

Didnt even get to spawn in

[bold kernel]

Anyone on that can help a brand newbie for a sec?

I'm trying to buy something and I have the money for it but it will not let me.

[vapid badger]

drag roubles across or tick fill

[bold kernel]

I attempt to tick but it will not allow me to. And I cannot drag them.

Nevermind I needed to drop them on the square itself. Thank you so much. :)

[serene reef]

As long as you tick fill, you won't have to bother it will auto fill

[crisp nest]

fill

but also dont buy that

worse than not having a helmet

[serene reef]

Yeah, some helmets wont allow you to wear headphones AND will muffle sounds

[royal belfry]

there is nothing scarier than seeing like 4 laser dots suddenly appear from the floor below you

[bold kernel]

I didn't buy the helmet, the picture was just an example of my problem. I do appreciate that knowledge however.

[crystal oracle]

Tell me about it :O

[royal belfry]

holy shit im finally done with jaeger

fuck u not touching tarkov shooter

just gotta wait out generator and then start water collector and im good to go

i feel so freed

[wicked veldt]

yesterday it was only 20 minutes and now 40. why?

[serene reef]

Negative scav karma

So you know the traders rep?

[wicked veldt]

yeah

[serene reef]

Look at your reputation with fence

That's scav karma

[wicked veldt]

decreasing takes so long tho

[serene reef]

It affects a lot ofof things

[wicked veldt]

i am so down bad so i need to loot from scavs

[serene reef]

Including what your scav spawns with

Price of vehicle extracts

[wicked veldt]

damn

[rich dome]

Wow

[serene reef]

Wait time on scav case later game

[rich dome]

How does scav rep decrease

[serene reef]

If you're not going positive you at least want near 00

[serene reef]

Killing other scavs

Ai scav -'02

Player scav -.05

Boss even up to -0.5

Guard like 0.2

Raiders on contrary are free game

[wicked veldt]

so how do you get +

[serene reef]

You gain karma for killing bad scavs

First few vehicle extracts

Coop extracts

But 2.26 is REALLY bad xD

Good luck

[wicked veldt]

thx

[serene reef]

I'd advise looking for a guide on yt?

Perhaps you will findbe methods for coming back

Cause at -some they shoot on sight

[rich dome]

So I bought this game two days ago and everyone is recommending customs for beginners on reddit (what I have seen)

But isnt factory the easiest because of the extraction points

I just randomly walk into an extraction point everytime there with loot lol

That will not happen in customs

[serene reef]

Factory is really PVP focused

Customs isn't that good either

But most of your tasks are there

That's what you want to focus on early game

To acquire loot that will allow you to hold your own against other geared players

[royal belfry]

i already did em all

except 16

because i needed the exp to get to 30 lol

[pure mist]

just depends on what gun you use

[royal belfry]

ive really just been running akms with like 80 recoil and its ok but i wanna try something else

[pure mist]

vs combo

vs combo is mech 3 i think

[royal belfry]

i wanted to try mk47 and vector but lol bsg

[pure mist]

mk47 not worth

you can get recoil lower with 103

[royal belfry]

its skier 4 now

so i cant even get it

[plain ether]

you could try using flash rounds with the ks23 from prapor

[pure mist]

don't use mutant lol

50 rpm for worse ergo and almost double the price

not worth

[royal belfry]

yes

i know

i said it

[pure mist]

this is been my killer recently

[plain ether]

You get the tx-15 from skier lvl 3 don't u

[pure mist]

replace it with venom and vs combo

then it's all level 3 traders

black card barter to consider

and the access card barter is cheaper than therapist i think

[lusty glacier]

was 5.45 buffed?

[pure mist]

don't think so?

im not 100% sure

[lusty glacier]

AKs?

[pure mist]

don't think so

[tranquil shore]

5.45 aks was buffed recently

[sudden solstice]

how do I survive Factory

[astral root]

i killed a heavily geared player as a scav and got this ar, how good is it

[pure mist]

really good weapon

[sudden solstice]

I only need to put the Prapors documents in that office, but I always get fugged by someone within first 3 minutes

[pure mist]

not meta but it's good

[astral root]

thanks

[bold kernel]

is dorms 220 in 2 story or 3 story

[true mist]

i just bought it

where do i

download it

[bold kernel]

if i go labs in offline will my keycard dissapier?

[zinc adder]

no

[royal belfry]

vs combo is level 4 trader

[vapid badger]

idea cash register key worth keeping?

[normal plover]

yes

[dense hemlock]

download the bsg launcher

[vapid badger]

no

[royal belfry]

what got buffed?

[bold kernel]

gun uses pretty shit ammo ergo is ass and recoil idk bout that one chief

[astral root]

yeah ive been thinking about just selling it because i dont trust myself to take it into a raid

[royal belfry]

sell it ye

[dense hemlock]

dont have gear fear u wont get anywhere with it if u die u die it is what it is

[astral root]

i dont think i really need it rn cus im really early in to the game anyway

[dreamy turtle]

I lost 3 slicks and 2 altyns yesterday poggers

[royal belfry]

theres a difference between gear fear and theres no actual way to use it properly

[signal vessel]

I'm fairly new, this is my first wipe so my game knowledge is very low... but if anyone wants to show me the ropes or just wants someone to tag along as an extra gun/eyes/ears you can dm me

[royal belfry]

especially before you have access to the ammo for the gun

[torn dagger]

Early on it's much better to have money than max tier weapons

[astral root]

oh yeah that too

i dont have the ammo or mag for it

[frosty compass]

if you can't replace your max tier stuff, just sell it and invest in many good value kits

even if it's not FIR and you'll lose value

[dense hemlock]

i suppose u are right

[frosty compass]

just sell the overpriced t4 helmet or whatever imo

it won't change anything

ragman pays a lot for them

[royal belfry]

whats the budget ammo for 5.45?

bt or bp

[stable girder]

Who can help me with this shotgun.. or the parts i need at least.. im struggling :/

[royal belfry]

firstly turn in those manifests

but the easiest way to do it

is to get 2 elite pliers and a screwdriver

and trade them to mechanic

[bold kernel]

please how do i know i started offline mod

?

i dont know if its online or offline

on labs

[bold kernel]

[pure mist]

[merry dust]

the scav slayer

[pure mist]

that mount is worth a lot

mount for the forgrip

[sacred folio]

So can only 1 person in a raid get Jager or does the note respawn?

[pure mist]

pretty much 1.4 mil + a raid is normal

[sly pond]

everyone can get it

[sacred folio]

ah okay thx

[bold kernel]

this is offline

shoud i try go online

?

with altyn?

and svds?

[pure mist]

prepare to die

[mild coyote]

i would sell those honestly and get cheaper gear to go online with

[pure mist]

cuz chances are you are not going to make it out alive

also real labs loot are way better

if you are going in, bring a raid backpack

pilgrim minimum

[mild coyote]

oh labs? yeah you will die haha

[bold kernel]

this? 😄

i know i will die

but ill try

[pure mist]

with ears

[bold kernel]

[mild coyote]

[silent hollow]

what do I do with everything? the ash-12 seems good..got it off a lvl 42

[bold kernel]

no

u just buy pistol

[mild coyote]

id just sell it so you can buy more cheaper gear and guns

[bold kernel]

when u want pistol

[knotty bough]

Is there anyone that can help me get better at the game plz dm

[pure mist]

all of them are pretty bad

but i'd say drawbridge

or gunslinger

@bold kernel this is what a decent labs raid looks like

pretty much if you survive you get at least 3/4 of these

[bold kernel]

[pure mist]

not a joke

seriously it's not a joke

just saying your sr on labs might not be high, but one good raid pays off the bad raids

[bold kernel]

ok ill wait for lvl 20

and then go labs

[pure mist]

do bunch of offline before then

[silent hollow]

thanks

[pure mist]

and watch some streamers

[silent hollow]

[silent hollow]

what about ash-12

[pure mist]

just vendor it

[silent hollow]

btw the 101 and ash are worth like 90 k each

whats that?

[pure mist]

ash kicks hard

[silent hollow]

but whats vendor

[sacred folio]

im in an offline raid give me a sec

[strong barn]

they did buff the ash 12 the other day--its recoil but its still kicking like a 20gauge shotgun

[plain ether]

[pure mist]

they did but i wont' use it when im new

[silent hollow]

[fathom ocean]

wtfffffffff

I needs 1 more kill on factory offices

[bold kernel]

what key do you need? please

for this

it is at dorms

[unreal horizon]

marked room

[bold kernel]

key?

[unreal horizon]

yeah

[fathom ocean]

Marked key

[unreal horizon]

314? marked key for dorms

[fathom ocean]

It spawns good shit but alot of people go there

[unreal horizon]

its a cherry on top after you win dorms pvp

[bold kernel]

i won today with my 2 friends had altyns from it but didnt have the key to open it

[fathom ocean]

yessirr

[bold kernel]

I hope this scav dies to cancer

teamkiller

[tired crane]

#stopscavonscavviolence

[bold kernel]

#speaking_fax

[golden helm]

Is killing scavs mostly just newer players?

[tired crane]

There is no real rhyme or reason behind it

[bold kernel]

i got killed from my own scav for like 1000 times

allways

on factory

and customs

[south lintel]

Sooo tired of being 1 tapped. It seems that ppl always get the drop on me and not the other way around.

[tired crane]

I remember I was chadding out in interchange as a PMC, I was just reloading a mag and i was suddenly voice lined at. Turned around and a player scav was just there wiggling

So I gave him one of my found in raid gpu for not trying to murder me immediately

[potent crater]

what was the price last wipe for a red card?

[silent hollow]

is someone likely to take an ak101

[novel patrol]

About 80 million, this wipe it's less since bitcoin hasn't inflated the market.

[novel patrol]

Depends if they want the AK101 😉

[marble whale]

Any tips for Customs? I've been on Chemical pt. 1 and Farming pt. 3 for a WEEK and for the life of me I can't exfil as my PMC. Constantly spawning all the way across the map is literally killing me. I've just resorted to naked runs hoping I get lucky.

[bold kernel]

IM first at dorms

with great gun

[novel patrol]

Don't just go in to do quest, loot the map as you go rather than run in just to sprint to your quest. Other players spawn across the map so you'll just run into them while they're looting or heading to their location.

[marble whale]

Like if I go south from big red to old gas I get lit from construction/fortress, I go north and circle around I get lit from dorms.

[marble whale]

I've literally sat in a bush for 30 minutes before and still got lit up in two minutes

Nothing I do works lately

Everyone can suddenly head/eyes me every time I load in as my PMC, but when I scav in no problem

[novel patrol]

Then you need to shoot at the people lighting you up 😉 but no really I get the feeling. It felt like that when I first started too. There are tons of routes across the main area for example using the road, the hill south of dorms, bus station room etc.

[marble whale]

Can't shoot when you get one tapped

[novel patrol]

Wearing armour, helmet etc.?

[marble whale]

Also is there a point to armor/helmet below rank 4? I feel like any helmet/armor I wear might as well be paper

[marble whale]

Level 3 head/level 4 armor

Still head/eyes

I got sick of donating gear so I just go in with a pistol and a prayer now

[cerulean apex]

i learned a very good tad bit of info that i cannot find anywhere on the wiki or google. soft skill cooldown is 16 minutes before u can train a skill again (strength endurance) but with the fp-100 filter in the cooldown is only 5 minutes

[marble whale]

Must've lost 3mil in gear over the past few days

[novel patrol]

Ricochet chance really, I don't personally run helmets until I find that last obdobby for EXFILs and face shields

[marble whale]

Exfils and Slicks are still a dream for me

[novel patrol]

You just got to find a route that works, or kill the people. Change your servers, try out different ones as I know some can be more...interesting

[twin dome]

get condors

saves lives

[marble whale]

I'VE SEEN lol

[marble whale]

I play on east coast mostly, which I've been told is light on hackers

Like rn I'm in a night raid on Customs just sitting in a bush waiting until it might be safe to move. Of course I do this and now I haven't heard a single gunshot yet

[novel patrol]

Try doing select servers, but really the only advice if you've tried every route is to just kill the people who are coming your way.

If I spawn big red for example, I'll loot garages and then head over the main bridge and decide a route if I want pvp, or dorms, or loot/quest etc.

[novel patrol]

Night time is usually less players, and also if you sit in a bush for too long it just means players on the opposite side of the map are coming to where you spawned

[glossy quarry]

if one upgrades to the edition under eod will it cost the difference between that edition and eod to upgrade to eod in the end

lots of words sorry

[novel patrol]

Yeah you only pay the difference

[novel patrol]

Some advice that map help.

So imagine where all the players could spawn and their route to get to extract if they go straight to their extract. Now expect players to be around there and be clearing those as you go

[bold kernel]

JUST shoted a guy that had no armor

with this pistol

and i needed to use

[glossy quarry]

Wicked cheers boss

[marble whale]

FINALLY! Apparently the trick was to chill in a bush for 15 minutes at night. I'm convinced the crow bar was good luck

[novel patrol]

Yeah it's never been known to be the greatest gun or ammo

[worthy topaz]

Is the "use only physical cores" setting for more lower end CPU's?

[silent hollow]

do i get anything for linking twitch?

[worthy topaz]

No i dont believe

[silent hollow]

ok thanks

[worthy topaz]

Actually i think your name is purple for others

When in the "prepare to escape" thing

[silent hollow]

ok

[marble whale]

Oh lord. I just unlocked Shooter Born. God help me.

[worthy topaz]

God save your soul

@marble whale Since your on SBIH I have a question, does your FPS drop when you zoom in with longer ranged scopes?

[signal gyro]

do armoured rigs count towards 'kill scavs without body armour' tasks

[novel patrol]

That is only for Emissaries, Sherpa's are green I believe.

[marble whale]

No, but I also have a really good PC

I've seen other people have FPS dips when they zoom in from long range

[worthy topaz]

Yeah i get 30 fps dips. It honestly sucks

[marble whale]

Holy... that much? Yeah that's gotta suck

[worthy topaz]

From 60-70 to 30

but ill try it again since i made some graphics improvements

[rich hare]

question I killed a pmc that was using an adar but he was firing it so fast that it was like an automatic but the adar is only single fire is there a possibility he was using a macro?

[marble whale]

Good luck. Yeah even with my M700 scoped in I'm still getting 70fps

[bold kernel]

i found mdr is it good?

[slow night]

i think i just saw an ai scav kill another ai scav, not sure if it was trying to shoot me tho

[mellow flame]

what time is a good time to go in for night run ?

[bold kernel]

mdr is really good when built right. is meh stock

[bold kernel]

depends what your wanting to do, questing is best when pitch black (00-4)

[mellow flame]

quest

[bold kernel]

questing is best to do pitch black

[slow night]

i wouldn’t start after 4:00 since it will get light mid raid. i usually go for 24:00

[bold kernel]

said that lmao, usually it registers as 00 instead of 24

just met biggest scav teammate

ever

i teamed with him whole game

and than killed boses guards

i killed them

because they attacked him

HE DIED LAST MOMENT

we did so well

HE WAS MY LIFE

anyone wanna squad up?

[sinful basin]

need help withbad rep evidence quest i dont have key

[carmine prairie]

anyone wanna run w me?

Not super new to the game just dont know all the ins and outs yet

[solid maple]

someone help me learn interchange 😩

[dense hemlock]

would yall recommend selling the rpk sa and mk ? im lvl 13 i was saving them but someone recommend i sell guns like this early on

[dawn geyser]

If this is your first wipe, I would sell them

SA-58 for sure

[dense hemlock]

i also have an sh helmet with the face shield

its not my first wipe its my 2nd but im still a noob

[dawn geyser]

Zsh? sell it

You'll want to learn sound before you start using sound muffling helmets

[cosmic tinsel]

theres like six "sh" helmets with face shields i think

[plucky ravine]

dorms marked vs ultra med?

[dawn geyser]

lol what that's not comparable

[plucky ravine]

which is more worth buying

[dawn geyser]

What do you need?

[plucky ravine]

but yea kinda i get what u mean

[dawn geyser]

They're different maps

[plucky ravine]

r o u b l e s

[dawn geyser]

They give different things

[plucky ravine]

yup

[dawn geyser]

Ultra med is 2.5m

But it's worth running (Only if you can get to it)

[cosmic tinsel]

dorms is gonna pay for itself much easier

[coral pilot]

marked is easier for a solo

[plucky ravine]

yea i’ve made my money back for dorms key the first run i did

[dawn geyser]

You need to be decent (Or fast) to hit Ultra med

[cosmic tinsel]

but if you want to sweat it out on IC ultra probably has more loot per hour

[dawn geyser]

Highly contested.

[plucky ravine]

got a docs case my first room

but ìdk about ultra med

[coral pilot]

too many variables behind ultra med

[cosmic tinsel]

ultramed all about pullin ledx + GS

[plucky ravine]

i figured

[coral pilot]

lots of raids ppl dont hit power early and if u hit it, ur not getting ultra med

[cosmic tinsel]

honestly tho rb-bk probably best value/rub

[plucky ravine]

plus the power needs to be on and it’s highly contested

so it seems like dorms is the better option here

[cosmic tinsel]

rb-bk another marked room, reasonably close to exfils

[plucky ravine]

don’t run reserve much

[cosmic tinsel]

ya thats fair

[plucky ravine]

to much juicers

lol

[cosmic tinsel]

its the same loot table as dorms marked room

for like, 10% of the cost

[plucky ravine]

oh wow

yea lol

[cosmic tinsel]

maybe 20%

[plucky ravine]

yea i saw reserve ones are cheap

reserve also has 3 marked rooms unlike customs

[cosmic tinsel]

yes, but pkpm is a different loot table thats absolute dogcrap

[plucky ravine]

also does the marked bunker on woods have the same loot table as all the other marked rooms?

[cosmic tinsel]

bk and vo are both about equivalent to dorms marked room

[cosmic tinsel]

no

[plucky ravine]

aightttt

[cosmic tinsel]

there are two marked circles in woods that can have decent loot (mostly streamer items and hardware)

but theres nothing in woods thats equivalent to customs/rez marked rooms

[plucky ravine]

alrrr

yea i ran only like 3 customs marked runs and already got like 450k or so

900k acctually

but that’s if i could extract …….

still got a docs case my first run so already got my money back

[worthy topaz]

I need help, im stuck on Skiers stirrup quest (kill 3 PMC’s with a pistol) and idk what to do. I sucks at pvp and die the second i lay on eye contact with someone and its mid wipe and people are already running vectors. What could i do to try and get this quest done?

[sinful basin]

extract camp

[fathom ocean]

pistol run factory

[tranquil shore]

Do other quests while bringing a TT pistol and a few mags.

[worthy topaz]

Yeah but then some fucking rat with an ak domes me

[tranquil shore]

Don't rush a specific quests like that other than if you REALLY need to

[tranquil shore]

Head-Eyes.

TT pistol gives aimbot

Trust me

[fathom ocean]

Thats how I did it, bring a pistol to factory your bound to run into chads but their are also people who bring nothing except for a shotgun or pistol
