[haughty girder]

also what do I do when I start being scared of loosing loot again due to dying with a 400k rouble loadout

[drowsy vale]

im not a "beginner" but i dont know much of other maps. could i get some help ona quest?

specifically the fishing gear quest for peacekeeper

[deep copper]

as a scav, can someone explain any penalties for killing other NPC scavs, or Player scavs?

[drowsy vale]

as in how much you lose? or what happens when you do it?

@deep copper

[deep copper]

is there a reputation loss or something for killing other scavs

[tulip whale]

Yes, you will loose fence rep (karma) if you randomly kill other scavs as a scav

[drowsy vale]

a bunch of debufs basically. longer scav timer, cost more fro car extracts

[tulip whale]

but if you kill scavs as a PMC it has no effect

[drowsy vale]

targeted by scavs instantly

[tulip whale]

Worse gear

[drowsy vale]

that too

[tulip whale]

It just generally a nice little thing to have high scav karma and not low

Its not game changing, but it is nice to have

[haughty girder]

oh

that is a topic I wanted to know about

is there like a way to tell how much better my gear would be with rep?

[tulip whale]

There is no exact way of knowing, we just know better rep = better gear and worse rep = worse gear

[drowsy vale]

all i know is you get extra mags, better ammo, and around teir 4 armor

[haughty girder]

cool

[drowsy vale]

more often

[unkempt herald]

Where can i buy the gas block for the aks74u

[drowsy vale]

believe its the gas tube from mechanic @unkempt herald

[unkempt herald]

Thr gas block is the

Grip right

Handguard

[drowsy vale]

the hanguard can be put on the gas tube?

is that what youre asking?

[unkempt herald]

Yea cause of of now

My gun is missing a gas block

And the handguard is missing

[elfin pendant]

i have 59 ergo on my dt mdr 762 and yet when i aim using the HAMR scope it bounces around so much. is there any way to lower this?

[unkempt herald]

So im assuming gasblock it handblock

[crisp nest]

wdym bounce

its not ergo related

btw

[crisp nest]

the handguard goes on the gastube

[drowsy vale]

the aks74u is the gas tube. you can put a hand guard on the gastube. i honestly dont know what youre asking

[deep copper]

do npc scavs spawn on a map at the start of a match?

[drowsy vale]

yes

[crisp nest]

they can

they spawn anytime during the match

unless its a boss they spawn at the start

[deep copper]

i heard they start spawning 5 minutes into a match

so wa sjust looking for clarification

(npc scavs)

[drowsy vale]

nah, they spawn anytime

[elfin pendant]

like the sight swiveling around

[crisp nest]

player scavs usually spawn 5 mins or later

[crisp nest]

hold your breath

if u mean sway

[shadow valley]

can someone take me to jaeger? not sure where he is and woods is difficult to read

[haughty girder]

oh

[elfin pendant]

yeah but is it normal to move so much without holding breath?

[royal belfry]

whats the price of shampoo going up for? wartech rig barter since raiders dont drop em anymore?

[crisp nest]

yeah i think

[haughty girder]

this I know the answer for

[quartz pendant]

still can't find the salewa's never use to be this hard finding them the last few wipes

[crisp nest]

crackhouse/emercom camp is how i get mine

[shadow valley]

look in the medical building near rauf

[haughty girder]

@unkempt herald

this is what you're looking for

then attach the handguard

had a problem myself once

[quartz pendant]

thanks

so customs ain't that good of an idea

all the medical bags,stashes spawn everything but salewa's stg

[drowsy vale]

you just have to know where to look basically.

[quartz pendant]

Yh I use to find them the last 4 wipes just fine now they never spawn seemingly

[drowsy vale]

i find them all the time in crak house, you just gotta be first i guess

[quartz pendant]

yh

I need to get that spawn since that medroom has good things in there

[unkempt herald]

No not the rube

Tube

Like the handle

The wooden part

[drowsy vale]

?

[unkempt herald]

The grip

[drowsy vale]

you mean the b-11 hanguard?

[unkempt herald]

Handguard

Yea handguard

[drowsy vale]

mechanic

teir 2

and 1

but the teir 1 is a trade

[haughty girder]

uh

'

skier sells it too

[drowsy vale]

ahh, true

[deep copper]

i suck XD havne't extracted successfully in like 4 rounds

[drowsy vale]

it happens. the other day lost around 2 mill becayse i couldnt extract and kept dying to chads the entire day

[haughty girder]

I tend to avoid all players

but when I do enter a fight against a player

[brisk bobcat]

What’s best way to level up therapist for docs case?

[haughty girder]

I either a) panic and die

[drowsy vale]

task

[haughty girder]

or b) panic but the dude panics more than me and he dies

[drowsy vale]

only way to level up trades is to complete their task and get more rep with them

[brisk bobcat]

K

[drowsy vale]

save blood setts and syringes and 2 vasiline for the trade if you didnt know @brisk bobcat

[brisk bobcat]

Ok

Thanks dude

[haughty girder]

How do I get better secure containers

[crisp nest]

look at the wiki

but basically pay or quest

[carmine gust]

The wiki can tell you the tasks you have to do to get the epsilon

[molten hornet]

anybody playing in singapore server?

[quartz pendant]

lmao I potatoed so much

[solid maple]

is this a good gun i just built it i have bp 7.62x39 for it

[tulip whale]

Only change i would make is putting a PSO-1 optic on and then using a canted sight as a backup

[potent crater]

where is there a lot of technical spawns?

[tulip whale]

Interchange and reserve have a lot

[potent crater]

any places in particular

specifically wd-40?

[tulip whale]

Tech stores in interchange

oohhh for WD-40 Oli and the back of the other stores are your best bet

[bold kernel]

the marked key op

4runs

and 2 million profit

basic prize of the ash

loool

[potent crater]

any one have tips to get like 50k xp in a day?

[crisp nest]

labs and reserve

or quest grind

[potent crater]

ok

[tulip whale]

Labs is the best way to get xp, headshot raiders and you can do a lot of raids quickly

[potent crater]

but i completely suck ass

[crisp nest]

quest grind then

[potent crater]

yah that is what ima do

[tulip whale]

In that case my advice would be just to focus on quests and surviving

[harsh quarry]

is the bullet bp gs shit?

[lusty pagoda]

Depends what caliber but both are good enough

bp gs 5.45 is usually enough to pen class 4

[haughty girder]

I've been using ps ammo

but at the same time I can't get anny better I think

[lusty pagoda]

ps ammo is still good

[harsh quarry]

this the loadout im using currently im pretty new xD

[tulip whale]

Bring something to stop heavy bleeds, like the esmarchs from therapist

also probably wont to bring a backpack

[harsh quarry]

ok thanks

[carmine gust]

Don't forget to repair the helmet 🙂

[haughty girder]

same, would also like a review from the big bois

[lusty pagoda]

you should look into a face shield for the helmet

[tulip whale]

Have meds in your rig or pockets so you can bind them and use them much quicker, only really need one of those guns, zarya grenades generally dont do much, and there is no point really running that helmet without the faceshield

[lusty pagoda]

don’t run any ear blocking helmet without a face shield

[hollow jewel]

my meds stay in my secure for the most part

[bold kernel]

What do I do when I bankrupt and have no money ? Or anything in stash

[tulip whale]

Scav runs

[hollow jewel]

scav runs

[hollow jewel]

pistol runs as a pmc

[bold kernel]

Any particular map I should run ?

[royal belfry]

i killed a pmc but he didnt have a tag?

[kind widget]

is this a new bug or has anyone else had this?

[trim geyser]

Would anyone be able to help me install EFT, I just got it today and this keeps popping up. I try changing the “set path” to different files and drives but it wouldn’t let me.

[dreamy turtle]

someone prob tok it

[kind widget]

the insured gear came in but its not there

[royal belfry]

nope theres no one else arouind

its 30 seconds in

[dreamy turtle]

are you sure its a pmc

[royal belfry]

yeah, its too early for it to be anythign else and hes kitted out

he alos has a compass and i cant take his melee

[hollow jewel]

raider?

[dreamy turtle]

weird

[royal belfry]

[molten hornet]

newbie playing in singapore server , need assistance

[bold kernel]

Is it level 20 for the flea market now ?

[drowsy vale]

yeah

[bold kernel]

Bruh as if level 10 didn’t take a week in itself to get now I need level 20

[drowsy vale]

its because they want you to focus more on task now

plus its more xp

to get to lvl 20 than it was last wipe

[muted lynx]

Lvl 20 is a grind but not too bad

[bold kernel]

Is it. Easier than last wipe

[muted lynx]

Opposite lol

[bold kernel]

Nice can’t wait to not have fun with the game unti am level 20

[muted lynx]

@bold kernel want help running some early quests, I’ve basically maxed out my hideout so I’m down to do anything

[royal belfry]

oh im blind i put it in his rig

[muted lynx]

Lol

[bold kernel]

Fuck it sure I basically just started to play again this wipe I took a long Break from the game

[muted lynx]

I’m in the same boat lol @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

Think am like level 2 or something like that

Let me get on my pc real quick

[haughty girder]

what the fuck is this in fences thing

[drowsy vale]

are you max rep?

[haughty girder]

no

I started like 3 weeks ago

it cost 250k but got sold off

[bold kernel]

How late is it into wipe about a month right ?

[drowsy vale]

that is something someone sold to him because it was below half and couldnt sell to mechanic

[haughty girder]

AH

but

holy

[drowsy vale]

about a month

[haughty girder]

why would you even want to sell such a gun

that is

godly like what

[drowsy vale]

because if youre a chad, the only gun you really need is the mutant

[haughty girder]

oh?

also that being said

[drowsy vale]

best gun right now

[haughty girder]

I would probably sell it too

because I would be too afraid to use it and it'd be taking up my invertory space

[real dove]

can anybody help me do some quests im lvl 1 and hate playing this game solo lol

[bold kernel]

whats red card chance spawning in dorm 314

LFG lvl 7 AUS looking for more mates to play with

[molten hornet]

i play in singapore sever

[brisk jolt]

do i gove this to skeir of therapist

[drowsy vale]

skeir

[wild goblet]

Is it possible

To get some help with some quests?

[full basin]

anyone have a good map to help me learn the extracts for reserve?

[wild goblet]

Cause the Beginner's Assistance VCs are full

[wild goblet]

I used google to look for the maps

[brisk jolt]

very big ask but i need money and i need to free up space so what items should i sell

[rustic ruin]

yo where the fuck am i

[crisp nest]

northern

un roadblock

[potent crater]

for chem 4 who do i give it to

[foggy egret]

to trader?

or flea

[brisk jolt]

traders im at level 18 so im almost at fleam market

[rustic ruin]

im at ZB-016 in Woods, Is the Power Plant to the East or West of the map?

[crisp nest]

theres no power plant in the map

u cant get to the reactors if thats what u see

[brisk jolt]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/woods

@rustic ruin

[rustic ruin]

I'm trying to reach factory gate but i have no fucking bearings in this place

[brisk jolt]

use that

[fathom ocean]

You need a scav to use factory gate

Don’t go there

[rustic ruin]

I wish I knew that lol. I got cucked by the game anyways

Game crashed on me

[fathom ocean]

Yeah that sucks ass

[foggy egret]

everything i marked should be sold to traders, mainly therapist, whatever cant be sold to therapist sell to fence. I left out items that would not be worth much on flea but may be useful in hideout, but i dont know your hideout progression or what you need so you might want to double check on that. Other than that, everything here wont be used anytime soon or wont be used at all and is nothing to worry about.

just search them on youtube

@bold kernel https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs

[dreamy rock]

why is bitcoin less than half the price it should be

[fervent epoch]

how do i get a gas analyzer?

[pure mist]

what's the price?

[dreamy rock]

it should be 670k but its 290k

[pure mist]

it's not

it should be around 200k

ish

[long salmon]

hey guys im trying to build the 133 for gunsmith part 1. i need more ergo its at 45. what mods can i add to it?

[pure mist]

there isn't a suppose value

it's based on irl price

idk why you thought it's 670k but it's not

[dreamy rock]

i know give me a sec

bitcoin irl is 45k usd rn and 45k usd = 3,285,000 rub and 20% of that is 660000

sooo

it should be around that

cuz bitcoin in eft is 20% of its real cost

@pure mist

please correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure im right

[barren field]

For the Ice Cream Cones quest (AK 60-round mags), can you craft them in your hideout? I saw someone say this is possible, but don't they need to be found in-raid?

[dreamy rock]

ya u can in lavatory 2

[cold yarrow]

crafted items are considered FIR i believe

[barren field]

All right, thanks!

[dreamy rock]

its 3 ak mags and a kek tape

[cold yarrow]

i thought it was 4

[dreamy rock]

is it? its been a while since i had to craft m

let me check

[compact badge]

they nerfed bitcoin to be 40% less value to traders

since last wipe when bitcoin went crazy it went up to 970k

[cold yarrow]

or maybe because they made it so because new gpus irl mine bitcoin twice as slow

due to nvidia making them lite hash rate

[dreamy rock]

oh ok, didnt know that

so is it like 12% of irl price now?

[compact badge]

its only worth to run btc farm if you have 6+ gpus and you are crafting in workbench and other stations

[torn matrix]

Is there a time when shoreline is empty? Like 10-15 into raid?

[compact badge]

because you dont net positive value fuel consumption wise until 6 gpus

[dreamy rock]

people normally extract like 25-30 min into raid on shoreline

how often do you get bitcoin if ur farm has all 50 gpus

[torn matrix]

20-25 left then ok

[fervent epoch]

how do i get the gas analyzer?

[humble galleon]

on chemical part 1, is the 220 key that you need to turn in to skier always there? the one underneath the pant leg?

[tranquil plover]

Would you guys say scav farming is good way to farm xp?

[cobalt vector]

pain....

[cobalt vector]

its a chance, im stuck on this quest too

[tranquil plover]

I once found lion statue and had no bag as scav

[unkempt herald]

How many guns can you insure at a time

[tranquil plover]

Infinite

[unkempt herald]

Ok ill insure my toz shotguns

[tranquil plover]

Lmao

[unkempt herald]

No one picks them up roght

[tranquil plover]

That is true

[unkempt herald]

Ok good

Im going to buy 6 of the shotguns

And if i die all 6 times ill just raid tmr

Does it insure the mag too?

The magazine

[crisp nest]

u wont kill anyone with toz

[unkempt herald]

Im camping in a corner

And aiming for the head

Well i bought 6 toz and insured it all

Im very sure im going to get all 6 back

If i die

[bold kernel]

yeah but the toz is a bolt action pea shooter

[fathom ocean]

Doing tasks is the fastest way

[bold kernel]

doing tasks makes me wanna end my eternal being

[fathom ocean]

Same with everyone else

I’m trying to do signal part 1 and I just got shot by a bitch with igolnik ammo

The first attempt I got on the roof of restort for the first tower and a bitch was sitting up there with a sniper

[torn matrix]

It can be. But need to also loot and live

[bold kernel]

just do woods

skav kills go crazy on woods

[fathom ocean]

Lord can you please bless me for this one raid where I don’t get sniped so I can complete this task 🦫

[dreamy turtle]

good luck

[shy citrus]

Learn to love the night, i find there's alot more turbo chads during the day time, at least i've found.

[broken wyvern]

im new any1 wanna play

[compact viper]

Me and my friend are new, just 2 of us, if you wanna help us or learn the game with us, DM me

[vivid snow]

The only way I can get out alive is by playing as a Scav. smh

[compact viper]

You wanna play with us?

We got 3 people rn

[tranquil plover]

Take the round slow. It helps when PMCs already extracted

[vivid snow]

Are you in the US?

[compact viper]

Yea

[vivid snow]

I'll give it a try. I have no idea how the multi player works though.

[dawn geyser]

good lord, brace yourself.

[compact viper]

Its all good man, we all new in the server we in, ill shoot you a invite

[compact viper]

Frr

[tranquil plover]

At the start of PMC raid, all PMCs will spawn together spread out the map. After around 10-20 minutes, player scavs and scavs will start spawning

[civic bridge]

do u need the eod edition

[compact viper]

There's 2 PMC's you'll run into. 1: A semi good, maybe bad player that has some skill, or 2: The chad with a altyn and a stacked AK

atleast from my experience

[tranquil plover]

EOD is only good for Gamma and stash

[civic bridge]

i want the gamma

😭😭

[vivid snow]

What about the chat?

[tranquil plover]

Chat?

[compact viper]

What about it

[tranquil plover]

There is no IG chat other than messenger

[vivid snow]

voic e chat to each other

[tranquil plover]

There is no voice chat

[vivid snow]

Lol. Yes there is if you have a mic.

[tranquil plover]

There is no IG voice chat

[vivid snow]

You can use the discord voice chat.

[tranquil plover]

I was talking about IG but sure there is discord voicechat

[vivid snow]

Somehow you use the discord voicechat and then you can talk to each other in game.

[real raven]

What

[vivid snow]

Yep. That's what most of the players use but I don't know how to create a voice chat in discord.

[tranquil plover]

Just join a channel mate

[proud lark]

i need help ples DM me if want to play

[vivid snow]

How do you join up ingame?

I'm gonna smoke a cigarette before I blow my computer up. Lol

[mellow flame]

what should i be doing with the purified water

[fathom ocean]

drinking it

[torn matrix]

GUYS!

[tranquil plover]

Yes?

[torn matrix]

only 40k xp left til flea

fml

[merry dust]

kekw

[tranquil plover]

lol

[vivid snow]

What?

[tranquil plover]

I still need 220k xp

F

[torn matrix]

just do quests honestly. thats waht ive been doing

[vivid snow]

The only way I get out alive is if I run as a Scav and that doesn't get me any xp.

[thorn bronze]

lmao this game is so hard i hate it but love it bc its not warzone lol

[vivid snow]

I'm the same way. I lose everything then run as Scav and get some stuff and wait for my insurance to get my other stuff back.

[tranquil plover]

It helps to have a clear focus for the raid in mind

What you want to achieve this raid. IE Tasks

[thorn bronze]

i got so much stuff the other day in a raid and then i got lost trying to find the extraction point in woods and i got killed

turns out i passed it like 10 min beforehand

[vivid snow]

I hear you but clear focus don't read that map for you when you are dropped in the middle of nowhere and have no idea where to go., Lol

[tranquil plover]

Learn the map by playing alongside interactive maps

I have second screen up with the map whenever I play

[signal kraken]

i just lost everything good that i had in a matter of 5 minutes

[thorn bronze]

thats what ive been doing but i still suck and figuring out of where i am at when i spawn in

it takes me like 5 min

[tranquil plover]

Are you doing raids on woods?

[vivid snow]

I use map on second screen but I spend all my time trying to figure out where I am still.

[thorn bronze]

sameeeeee

[tranquil plover]

Some key land marks are landmines, lake formations, mountain location, river and stuff

[thorn bronze]

what map is best though

[vivid snow]

I've been running on shoreline and I can sorta figure it out now.

[thorn bronze]

for begginer raids

[tranquil plover]

I use this https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/

[vivid snow]

That's the maps I use.

[tranquil plover]

Very intimating looking at the start, but you can filter out the stuff you don't need

It also helps ALOT if you have a compass

You can get it from unlocking Jaeger

[thorn bronze]

you trynna play bro? we can die together at least XD

[signal kraken]

im sad because i dont know woods at all

[vivid snow]

I'll give it a try.

[thorn bronze]

its the worst map ever

[tranquil plover]

Woods is very fun for me

[thorn bronze]

so confusing

so ratty

[vivid snow]

How do we meet up in the game?

[signal kraken]

yea good thing whenever i have the courage to go reserve i have marked key

[thorn bronze]

idek lmaooooo

[tranquil plover]

You have to go through the PMC raid selection menu

[vivid snow]

LMAO

We are so gonna die

[signal kraken]

i could play with you guys

[vivid snow]

I'll take all the help I can get.

[tranquil plover]

If you want to meme

Get 4 other players and go to daytime factory

5 of the 6 PMCs will be your squad

lmao

[signal kraken]

i like to meme

[tranquil plover]

5v1

[signal kraken]

it makes the game more fun for me

[tranquil plover]

Daytime Factory, 5 man squad

[vivid snow]

I just want to finish my first quest. LOL

[signal kraken]

ive done that last wipe
but we all had ks-23

[somber thunder]

what quest

[vivid snow]

The one for Prador

[somber thunder]

the shotguns?

[vivid snow]

kill 6 scavs and bring him some shotties

[signal kraken]

debut

[tranquil plover]

kill 5 scavs and give MP133

[vivid snow]

yeah. That one

[tranquil plover]

It is on custom

Not factory

[vivid snow]

I know. I have killed 2 scavs but I don't know the map.

[fathom ocean]

I learned that map fast asf for some reason

[tranquil plover]

Custom can be confusing if you are new

[signal kraken]

i know it well

ish

[somber thunder]

I havent played in a few days but I can tag a long on a custies to try and help with some shit.

[pure mist]

Actually customs id say it’s one do the easier maps to navigate around

[fathom ocean]

Oh because I used the sawmill as a guide to everywhere I went

[pure mist]

So many landmarks

[tranquil plover]

Yes but it is a maze if you are new

[pure mist]

Better than woods or any other map lol

[fathom ocean]

yeah theres only a few ways out of some areas

[tranquil plover]

Bitch to get out of if you are new without compass

[somber thunder]

customs layout isnt bad its just a little rough when you dont know th eusual spawns and chokepoints

[tranquil plover]

Literally 1 way out without a key I think

[fathom ocean]

i learned it without a compass lmfao

[somber thunder]

compas is useless imo

[fathom ocean]

lowkey

Well not useless

[tranquil plover]

Eh. helps on Woods

When you are in a forest

[fathom ocean]

yeah facts

[tranquil plover]

And Woods is my main map

[fathom ocean]

Ew

[tranquil plover]

lol

Rush Military camp. Hoard food

[vivid snow]

It would help if Tarkov had an ingame map that said "You are here".

[tranquil plover]

Lol no

[signal kraken]

yes

[fathom ocean]

That would ruin the point of the game

This game is hardcore asf

[dreamy turtle]

LUL

[signal kraken]

i thought he was saying you are here in tarkov

[dreamy turtle]

just know where you are

[vivid snow]

Yeah but it would help a senile old f0cker like me. Lol

[tranquil plover]

He wants a literal GPS

[signal kraken]

no

[vivid snow]

Yup

[fathom ocean]

Like DayZ you have to navigate and use landmarks to get to places

[signal kraken]

never

[vivid snow]

Lol

[fathom ocean]

This isnt pubg lmfao

[signal kraken]

not in my tarkov

[vivid snow]

Yeah. This ain't you gradnmas

call of duty either

[tranquil plover]

Use your brain GPS

[vivid snow]

Grandma. lol

[tranquil plover]

Learn landmarks

Start with some real simple landmarks like, You see ruined buildings in Woods

[vivid snow]

I hear you and I know it's possible. It will just take time.

[tranquil plover]

You are North East of the map

You see sniper warnings and there is no bridge, You are North West

[signal kraken]

im happy ive killed 6 pmcs

[somber thunder]

nice dude

[dawn vapor]

[vivid snow]

Uh...I've been killed by 6 PMC's . LMAO

[somber thunder]

damn lol

[signal kraken]

its hard not to die to an ap 20 slug

[dawn vapor]

i have been killed by 49

[fathom ocean]

I got 34 pmc kills thats kind of sad tbh

[tranquil plover]

32% survival rate

[vivid snow]

0%?

[signal kraken]

i have a 40% somehow

[fathom ocean]

Wait nah thats not too bad considering I avoid people untill they come up to me

[dawn vapor]

yea not bad at all

[boreal violet]

i've died 99 times, don't know if it was pmcs or raiders/scavs lol

[tranquil plover]

I also avoid all combat noises and players

Literally I hear a gunshot, all my plans go on hold and I take evasive actions

AKA run the other way

[fathom ocean]

Ive died 68 times

[signal kraken]

i have died to a guy camping in a bush with igolnik ammo

[fathom ocean]

Same like 2 raids ago

[boreal violet]

bush wookies are a thing man

[dawn vapor]

gotta be careful

[vivid snow]

Yeah, I hear ya. I was all like gungho and when I heard something I tried to find it and BAM. Thorax or head every time.

[elfin pendant]

i was watching a video of hyper rat and he went down to 0 energy and wasnt losing hp from it. How is that possible?

[boreal violet]

only thing i died in a bush from this wipe was cultists

[signal kraken]

is it bad that i have spent a mil on fence

[fathom ocean]

Rat powers

[tranquil plover]

You go after a shotgun Scav, and you get head eyed

[fathom ocean]

Oh god

[vivid snow]

Lol

[boreal violet]

not really, sadly in the beginning most stuff vendors to fence, due to durability

[signal kraken]

with -0.02 rep

[tranquil plover]

-.22 for me

[fathom ocean]

oh nah thats not bad cause spent is sold too

[dawn vapor]

Elite metabolism i believe. You will not take negative effects from energy or hydration

[fathom ocean]

im tripping

[boreal violet]

yes as sleep said

[fathom ocean]

I got 0.54

[tranquil plover]

Speaking of Fence

Soon escaping as scav will give you karma

Which is fucking dope

[signal kraken]

im wondering is this a good build because im only able to buy from level 1 traders

[boreal violet]

I have elite metabolism, you do not gain exhaustion or Dehydration, meaning you literally cant take damage with 0 water, or die from it including 0 food

only negative problem about 0 food is your stam still drains mega fast, and regens mega slow

[tranquil plover]

Ammo matters more than gun

[fathom ocean]

That bih look good but does it feel good

[signal kraken]

yea

[tranquil plover]

You can have the best gun in the game and have shit ammo and it will be a peashooter

[fathom ocean]

Yeah you finna need to go for all headshots tho lmfao

[boreal violet]

nesquik, If you can put an RK grip or anything that lowers recoil over that grip

[signal kraken]

i have bp and bt is that good ammo

[fathom ocean]

yeah bp is good

[tranquil plover]

https://eft.monster/

[boreal violet]

yes, i'd use BT over BP tho

[vivid snow]

I'm still using starter weapons and haven't figured out how to put scopes on anything.

[tranquil plover]

Good chart to reference ammo

There is a reason why all rats pray to M61 every day

[boreal violet]

when looking at ammo, pay attention on the difference in pen, if it's only 1-2 difference, flesh damage will be the preferred manner

pray to m61 because you pierce whatever armor they are wearing xD

[tranquil plover]

Literal chad killer

Headshot with it will instantly kill anyone

[boreal violet]

legit survived a m61 shot to my head a few days ago without a helmet or anything

I was super confused why my head had 23/35 hp

and i lived

[fathom ocean]

This gun has lasted me so many raids

[signal kraken]

cool

[tranquil plover]

General rule of thumb

[vivid snow]

Good looking gun

[fathom ocean]

Im running out of BP soon tho

[tranquil plover]

If you are going aginst scavs, ammo that pierces 3-4 rating armor is a good choice

[boreal violet]

facts lol

[tranquil plover]

Anything more is a waste

[boreal violet]

tho i find scavs more tanky this wipe

[tranquil plover]

Or if your aim is good

Pistol with RIP

Leg meta

[signal kraken]

is a vss expensive to go into a raid with like a val

if you want good ammo that is

[boreal violet]

with a val?

that didnt make much sense to what you were asking

a valdey ?

[fathom ocean]

I only used the sks for like 15 straight levels

[signal kraken]

as-val

[boreal violet]

mmm their basically the same gun, minus the val you can modify the stock adding whatever you want

so vss would be ultimately cheaper

[pure mist]

Not the same gun

Val you can get recoil lower

Quite a bit

Val>vss

Performance wise

[boreal violet]

his question was as expensive E

[somber thunder]

the kac doesnt have any recoil control you can get rk6 from skier lvl 1 and it has some recoil control on it

[pure mist]

Just saying it’s not the same gun lol

[signal kraken]

thanks

[fast rain]

when do you unlock bt or bp ammo for 5.56 and where

[somber thunder]

quests

[signal kraken]

i killed raiders for mine

[somber thunder]

i think one of ems proper but i cant remembe rwhen

[signal kraken]

i dont have much

[boreal violet]

Peacekeeper lvl 2, quest is cult part 1 unlocks "bt" or 856a1

[dawn vapor]

BT - punisher part 4 (prapor 3), BP (Prapor 3)

[fast rain]

thank you

[dawn vapor]

556 sorry im dumbo

[pure mist]

556 bt?

[boreal violet]

he wrote bt for 556

was just swapping it as "556a1" in explaining

856a1*

[dawn vapor]

[boreal violet]

tho tbh i wouldnt have been surprised if they swapped it to "bt" because they changed 7n1 to Ps and that confused me in the beginning lol

[pliant citrus]

anyone wanna help me do some quests?

just watch my back while i kill scavs?

[boreal violet]

what you looking to do?

quest wise

[somber thunder]

where you goin

[boreal violet]

^

[dusky cobalt]

Doing a quest for Prapor can someone help me?

[boreal violet]

[somber thunder]

[boreal violet]

[dusky cobalt]

[celest viper]

I killed a guy and got this AK

Anyone know if I could somehow take parts off it or add to it to turn it in for this quest

[signal kraken]

i killed a guy and got this

[celest viper]

ig I'll still need the 60 round mag no idea where to get that, but it has the b11 handguard

[somber thunder]

if you find a zb 14 key, keep it take it woods and unlock the bunker they spawn inside the gate of the zb 14 bunker all over the place

[fathom ocean]

I had to make mine

Get lavatory 2

[somber thunder]

or you can do that

[fathom ocean]

Or kill raiders which I definitely cannot do lmfao

[somber thunder]

your also gonna need 3 more found in raid i think for prapor too

nah raiders are ez just gotta sneak up on em

[deep copper]

hi all. i found a mp-133 shotgun for the quests. 1) can i dissamble it before turning it in for the Debut Quest? 2) if not, can I modify it to complete the Gunsmith Part 1 quest , before turning it in to the Debut quest?

[dreamy turtle]

no and no

you have to turn in the gun for gunsmith

[deep copper]

Thnk you!

i have 1 of the 2 shotguns required for Debut. can i turn it in by itself, to save room in my stash?

[icy quartz]

Yes

[deep copper]

in fact, i don't know how to turn it in

it doesn't appear in my quest items window in teh Tasks screen

[icy quartz]

Go to the trader page, go to the taks

If its the right gun next to the objective it will say turn in

[deep copper]

Thank you, that worked

[icy quartz]

im bad at that ive spent 1mil on fence

[signal kraken]

no

[rich rose]

is mg1 or mg2 better

6*

[raw onyx]

oh my god no

[signal kraken]

i use it because

[junior iris]

use this ammo chart please

https://eft.monster/

[signal kraken]

no use the bcp

i use it to kill scav

[rich rose]

is m61 or 2 better

[dreamy turtle]

1

[junior iris]

m61

m61 is very strong

can pen class 6

[rich rose]

what about m80

[dreamy turtle]

!ballistics

:/

[junior iris]

use the chart i linked

[signal kraken]

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

[candid steeple]

What's the best thing to buy off flea and sell to skier

[severe sage]

anyone down to play. im new and i need to learn extracts on customs

[tranquil plover]

M61 pens 6 armor and does 70 damage. M80 pens 4 armor and does 80 damage

No real competition

[deep copper]

if i accidentally kill a fellow scav, how big of ad eal is it? how do I fix my rep loss?

[tranquil plover]

It does -.05

[junior iris]

its not a huge deal but you should really avoid it

[signal kraken]

kill pmcs

mine is -0.02

[junior iris]

killing pmc's, using certain v-exfils

[shrewd tree]

hey guys how long does it take for scavs to spawn in

[tranquil plover]

10-15 minutes

[shrewd tree]

oh damn

[junior iris]

lol not true at all

[tranquil plover]

Depends on map for more precise values

[shrewd tree]

i need to get these kills on shoreline

[junior iris]

its normally like 3-5 mins

[tranquil plover]

Oh I thought he meant Player scavs

Normal AI scavs spawn very quick at their spawn locations

[shrewd tree]

i honestly dont really like the scav quests because i never seem to find any when doing them lol

[tranquil plover]

What map

[junior iris]

you will learn eventually where to look

[shrewd tree]

im on shoreline

[tranquil plover]

Ah I don't play shoreline often

Can't tell ya

[shrewd tree]

im by ccp temp right now

[junior iris]

power station and the gas station have a good amount noramally

[shrewd tree]

ok ill go check it out

thanks

[tranquil plover]

I think Pier has some as well?

[coral pilot]

they do spawn later in the raid as well tho

[junior iris]

yeah they spawn over time

[coral pilot]

so hanging around till last 20 mins isnt a bad idea on maps like shoreline/woods

[junior iris]

true

[coral pilot]

i wouldnt do it on reserve fuck that shit lol zombie horde

[junior iris]

just be mindful that lots of the scavs will be pscavs at that point

[shrewd tree]

omg

my internet just shit itself and I lost connection lol

[carmine hatch]

I'm hoping this is the right place, but how do I keep this game from disconnecting? I can play maybe 1 in every 10 games.

[shrewd tree]

im loading back in so I should be good

[simple herald]

anyone good and want to do some tasks with me?

[flint pond]

just bought a dorms marked key for 400k used it one time and got a meds case, used it again and got an mk18 and an hk. is this average loot cuz holy shit

[dense hemlock]

its hit or miss really sometimes u find a pot of gold sometimes u find nothing but the floor lol

[royal belfry]

how much rep do you get extracting with a scav now?

[dense hemlock]

thats just my experience and my experience isnt much

[shrewd tree]

you got hella lucky wtf

the best shit I found was the 7.62 mdr

im no longer gonna wiggle at pmcs

[dense hemlock]

why would u pmcs rarely become friends too sweaty

[shrewd tree]

i didnt even shoot at this guy and he hits me i wiggle and he proceeds to kill me anyway

[deep copper]

what's more valuable, a rifle or a 20slot bag?

trying to organize and sell loot after raids is tough

[dense hemlock]

id say the rifle i think not sure tho im also a noob

depends what rifle

[shrewd tree]

i mean i just do it for that rare moment of someone actually being friendly

[dense hemlock]

yeah i see moments like that on reddit and nowhere else 😦

[unreal horizon]

Both are valuable in different ways

[dense hemlock]

true

[unreal horizon]

Like a backpack can hold precious loot

And the rifle can kill anyone

[dense hemlock]

assuming they are a beginner money would be the best option i started focusing on money and using value loadouts

ill grow up some day

[signal kraken]

ive spent 1mil on each trader and im only level 11

including fence

[dense hemlock]

nice

[simple herald]

fence might be the easiest lmao

[signal kraken]

ive gotten 2 guns i like very much

[dense hemlock]

im trying to spend money on skier rn lol

[signal kraken]

they are

[dense hemlock]

for lvl 2

[signal kraken]

svd

[dense hemlock]

i had an svd i took from a player and i think i took it into raid on accident without knowing when drunk cause it disappeared

[long marsh]

Im level 11. What are the chances of me finding a doccase

[shrewd tree]

alright im about to just start killing on sight

2nd time i try to be friendly and I get killed with my knife out

[merry dust]

where

[long marsh]

On reserve

[merry dust]

where on it

[long marsh]

Inside the rooms RB-BK, RB-PKPM and or RB-VO at the hotel area

[bold kernel]

what am i missing for gunsmith part 6 here?

[merry dust]

ehhh

not the highest

[blissful geode]

how do i find my quests

[tranquil plover]

Show stat

[silent smelt]

use wiki

[hollow jewel]

At the traders screen, tab on the top

[silent smelt]

take bullet out of chamber maybe

[blissful geode]

ok

how do i tell wenether im facing a pmc or scav

when im playing scav

[silent smelt]

um

[deep copper]

That's the neat thing - you don't

[silent smelt]

scavs look different

[deep copper]

jk, it comes with experience i guess. I still cant' tell. I'm new

[silent smelt]

different clothes

and usually yell in russian

[hollow jewel]

Spam voice lines and wiggle, see if they respond, also pmcs always have a bear or usec patch

[blissful geode]

how do you screem in russian

[celest viper]

So if you open a backpack while selling to trader, and ctrl+click an item in there it just dissapears into thin air?

[hollow jewel]

F1

[deep copper]

i heard some humanoids speaking english, is that PMC? Or can scavs speak english too

[merry dust]

raiders and pmcs

[hollow jewel]

Check your inventory

[celest viper]

@hollow jewelI did

Try it it literally just dissapears

wait my character inventory lol

[hollow jewel]

Did you equip it?

[celest viper]

Thanks nvm i stoopid

[hollow jewel]

Alt click

[blissful geode]

is Tgs ammo good?

[hollow jewel]

not really

[royal belfry]

kill a pmc in factory

fellow scav fucking kills me to take the loot

and i cant defend myself because aim punch + mosin

[blissful geode]

how do i escape on reserve

[silent smelt]

with extract

[merry dust]

BRO IM JSUT TRYINFG TO DO MY QUEST

SANITAR PELASE

IM A MAN WITH A KIRASA AK AND PS

PLEASE

[blissful geode]

guys what is G

p

[elfin pendant]

whats the difference between running an ak like this or mk47 since it got nerfed? its just like 8-10 recoil diff

[merry dust]

I HATE THIS FUCKING GAME

[graceful rover]

idk why i spent 40 for this game

too much for me

[shrewd tree]

i guess its not for everyone

my friends are the same way but they spent 150

[dire vale]

i found a violet is the key event over? the fee is 1 mil

[unkempt herald]

can you get banned on tarkov for using a built in monitor crosshair?

its not third party

like it came with the monitor

[thick harness]

No you cant be banned for that. But honestly it wont help you will prob only hurt you

[unkempt herald]

how come

[violet sparrow]

one of my friends used the same thing for rust, worked great, tried it on tarkov and apparently it didnt help at all

[thick harness]

a hardware overlay has no interaction with the game software itself

get used to the game mechanics

[violet sparrow]

^

[thick harness]

the crosshair overlay will have 0 consistency for shooting mechanics in the game

[violet sparrow]

it took me a long time to figure out about where the center of my screen was but now im straight chillin with it

[thick harness]

I can counterstrafe a mosin bolty ez just gotta learn how

[violet sparrow]

i didnt even know you needed to counterstrafe with the mosin bolty ;-;

i might be instinctively doing it cuz of valorant and csgo experience but still lol

[thick harness]

counterstrafing isnt really a thing in EFT like in CS or something

but movement does affect accuracy and those who know the mosin know the EFT counterstrafe

[violet sparrow]

ahhh okok

[thick harness]

that .2 of a second where its dead accurate on your strafe back

[violet sparrow]

oh shoot that's good to know

sounds like something ill need to work on

[thick harness]

you just didnt play in the days where half the guys were just yoloing around with a mosin

before the thorax buff and mosin nerf

good times

[violet sparrow]

yeah i started last wipe

[thick harness]

mosin fights in dorms

[violet sparrow]

but ive heard the stories

[thick harness]

were common

[violet sparrow]

lol im using the mini mosin in factory for tarkov shooter rn

but i mean having not been there during the glory days it seems to still be pretty great

[thick harness]

it is, i noscoped 2/3 of my tarkov shooter part 8

[violet sparrow]

lol yeah that sounds about right

and i didnt even realize that tarkov shooter was such a long questline oh man

[thick harness]

a couple are easy and some can even be one shot easy

like get 3 hits in the legs and 2 headshots over 60 meters or something

[violet sparrow]

i finished that one earlier today

im on the 3 kills in 25m or less rn

[thick harness]

have fun on factory

[violet sparrow]

lol yup that's whats been happening

[bronze laurel]

vpo with ap rounds for onetaps in chest, your welcome

[violet sparrow]

through what tiers of armor?

[bronze laurel]

tier 4 it can still onetap i think

[buoyant crane]

should have never happened

[bronze laurel]

still way cheaper than using a mosin, vpo only sets you bakc 18k

[violet sparrow]

can you topload the vpo?

[thick harness]

the flow in a fight tho mosin > dogshit vpo

idc about price or your .366 ap

i'll take a lps gzh mosin anyday

[hollow jewel]

Vpo has better sights too

[severe sage]

servers down?

[violet sparrow]

just went down

[bronze laurel]

eh, vpo is fun af, you only got time to spend like 4 shots maximum in factory with a boltie anyways. after that you have either won or lost

[bronze laurel]

no, only 4 round mags

[thick harness]

Mosin gang unite

[violet sparrow]

i like the mosin cuz of the sawed off version so it's not bonking against the walls

[thick harness]

vpo is shit in a fight man

[violet sparrow]

especially in factory

[thick harness]

just feels shit the movement and gun flow

i hate it

but do you

[hollow jewel]

Gun flow doesn't make any sense, make a real point

[bronze laurel]

i mean everyone can have their own preferences. i like the mosin too

[violet sparrow]

tbh i prefer the mosin but the vpo is fun to screw around with imo

[bronze laurel]

but for that specific quest, vpo all day

[thick harness]

when I say gun flow I mean that moment when you are 10 ft from another guy in glass hallway strafing and exchanging shots

the flick of the mosin > vpo

just feels better

[bronze laurel]

hmm statistically the vpo is beter tho. basic sawn off mosin is 33 ergo, while a long mosin is around 17. VPO sits at 36 ergo and also 1,5kg lighter than a long mosin.

also less recoil, not that it matters for bolties

[thick harness]

yea man stats are stats and .366 ap def hits harder

but i'll take my mosin into the cqb anyday over a vpo

[bronze laurel]

haha fair enough, it's all about the feel anyways 😄
