[arctic atlas]

@serene remnant ps gs

[serene remnant]

ty

[arctic atlas]

look here in the future https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics

[serene remnant]

ah tyvm

[arctic atlas]

np its very useful

[cerulean apex]

what bullet has the highest chance to cause heavy bleed?

[arctic atlas]

.338 Lapua Magnum AP @cerulean apex

[cobalt hare]

one of the rip rounds i assume

[young goblet]

is the .50 bmg shell worth it

[merry dust]

for shotguns

ap-20 works better

[young goblet]

but i dont have jager 4 yet

[merry dust]

flea?

[young goblet]

not paying 1300 roubles for an ok slug

igolnik is cheaper

and bs

[merry dust]

its THAT expensive>

no way

[young goblet]

last time i checked

[merry dust]

its down to 1k

still a lot

[cerulean apex]

ap-20 is not a ok slug... its an amazing slug

[merry dust]

very effective

[bold kernel]

its the best slug

[velvet blade]

I think it's comparable to M80

[young goblet]

yes but its still a slug for shotgun

its a really good slug

but i wouldnt consider it an s tear cartridge

[cosmic ibex]

do you get a 1 free labs at the start of wipe

[mellow flame]

is scav rep bug or will it eventually catch up?

[cerulean apex]

i drop fully geared players consistantly with it. you can 1 tap killa with ap-20.. i would completly disagree

@cosmic ibexno u dont

[potent crater]

everntaully when i have every case would my stash mostly just be cases?

[cosmic ibex]

ty

[cerulean apex]

@potent crater no 1 of ea case would only take up aprox 1/8 of a standard edition account

1 thicc items case will store almost all of the other cases within the 1 case

[potent crater]

how much extra money should i save before buying something mega expensive

[dreamy turtle]

enough to play the game

id have enough to build like 3 kits

[plain geode]

How to fight fat boys mid wipe with nothing but lvl 1 pee shotters?

[potent crater]

i save 200k ish because i can scav but idk if that is smart

[wet python]

Ok

Now I get why this game is addictive

Did my first 2 raids

Domed by scav first time

2nd time came out with a whole bunch of tool loot and an ak 74m

And I’m hooked

I’m just looting random buildings

And have a customs map on my other screen

[cerulean apex]

@plain geode aim for the face. every single bullet in this game will 1 tap if u shoot em in the face

[carmine creek]

omfg it acually happened, rb-st had a tank battery in it

[icy quartz]

42kg battery

Gotta slog that motherfucker out of there

[potent crater]

what is the spawn chance?

[velvet blade]

how can I reload only 1 bullet in SKS instead of all mag

[cobalt hare]

left click during animation

[cerulean apex]

when im doing normal runs... i get heavy bleeds constantly... when i want a heavy bleed... i dont seem to get 1... fucking tarkov

[hardy ingot]

my game keeps crashing when i open it help

i already uninstalled and reinstalled

[icy quartz]

Have you tried repairing it

[hardy ingot]

ill try

how?

[icy quartz]

On the launcher there is a down arrow next to the online under your name

Do an integrity check

[hardy ingot]

did that nothing

[icy quartz]

Clear cache, integrity check and then try to launch

[hardy ingot]

ok thanks this been happening for like a day

[dapper bear]

hey is there a list anywhere with every item we should keep for either tasks or hideout?

[icy quartz]

Yeah, but it isnt current

Also its a picture not a list

[dapper bear]

you got a link for me?

[velvet blade]

I'm looking for someone to help me finish The Bunker 1 in Reserve 😄

[bold kernel]

take painkillers till you dont have any hydration then use propital

or yellow stim

and sit in a bush for 5 minutes

i did mine on woods

[turbid python]

but remember to take some drink with you

[bold kernel]

^^

[turbid python]

cause you need to exit

[serene remnant]

yeah i realise that ty for the help. but i dont have propital or stim

[velvet blade]

you should have done that quest in the heatwave event, I did it without even trying

[turbid python]

😄

if you have no probital, just wait till you loot one

[serene remnant]

alr ty

[grim mortar]

How has the interchange 21ws spawn been lately? Just got the key out of a scav case and debating on selling it. Anyone been using the key?

[potent crater]

hey guys random barter items on flea are selling cheaper than to therapist so you can buy them and sell them to therapist for money spent and slight profit

[deep edge]

I did it by eating a jar of mayo and sitting in old gas til it was time to extract. Healed with cheese slices. Hit Goshen for mayo

[sick sky]

anyone know why i cant put a handgaurd on this? im watching a build on YT that has everything on here but i cant put the handgaurd on

[cosmic tinsel]

gotta put a rail on the bottom of the handguard

[sick sky]

ik but when i clikc there is nothing to put on it

[cosmic tinsel]

link search the handguard and look for... i think a 10inch rail

[sick sky]

yea ill try it again

[cosmic tinsel]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Alexander_Arms_10_inch_guide

[sick sky]

its because i hadnt inspected it before

thats stupid asf

[cosmic tinsel]

eyyy thats tarkov :fingerguns:

[bold kernel]

Hey guys when doing task for items found in raid don’t buy from flea, it don’t count sadly

[cosmic tinsel]

crafting counts

but yeah, "found in raid" mostly means what it says on the package

[fallen cargo]

WHERE DO I SEND A NAME OF SOM1 TRYING TO SELL YOU CHEATS

oops caps

[bold kernel]

Who is cheater

i just killed taggila with 28 rounds from my m4a4 with the best ammo

luck or fax?

[velvet blade]

Don't say name here

Report it to one of the moderators.

[sick sky]

cant even use that build @cosmic tinsel because the rail is 3 thousand but i dont have mecahnic lvl 3 and its like 40k on the flea

[bold kernel]

I want to report that cheater

He ruin good game

[wooden kindle]

this any good?

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, just wait then tbh

or play around in the edit preset until you get a build that works

[bold kernel]

That helmet good but cannot see

Out of it

And no headphone

Just use shattered mask tbh

High ricochet chance covers face

[pure anchor]

[cobalt hare]

too long a barrel i think

not sure

[bold kernel]

@pure anchor do u have extended magazine in it

[proven dragon]

yikes dud

[raw minnow]

change the grip

[proven dragon]

kac grip

[raw minnow]

to KAC VERTICAL PISTOL GRIP

[cobalt hare]

53 ergo not enough?

[raw minnow]

take off the SPRM too

[serene remnant]

any YouTubers that are great to watch interms of assistance

[hard ginkgo]

just did a quest and extracted but because i did it fast it was a run through

does this not count as an extract?

because now it says i have to survive and extract

[bold kernel]

no u need to survive

Survive status

[hard ginkgo]

thats stupid

[cobalt hare]

i like how the word filter is working here

[hard ginkgo]

word filter is pretty re t arded

[cobalt hare]

nah it's alright

[bold kernel]

i killed taggila with 16rounds into his helmet

[proven saddle]

make sure its above 60 durability

[young goblet]

how many shots of igolnic does it take to kil

[proven saddle]

depends on the armor

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

[young goblet]

cuz i just hit this man 5 times with igolnik right in the chest

and then my friend lit him up

[proven saddle]

you might have hit his arms

[young goblet]

right in his chest

watched replay

[proven saddle]

im assuming you sprayed it so

recoil

[hard ginkgo]

sordin or m32

[proven saddle]

ye, maybe arms

[proven saddle]

sordin all the way

personal pref

[young goblet]

i was going down the stairs and he ran in my face

point blank

[cobalt hare]

walkers's xcel is pretty nice

[hard ginkgo]

12k for water, nice

[cerulean apex]

so ive tried heavy bleed with propital, walking threw barbwire. jumping threw fire. and neither exp moves... anyone got a clue ?

[cobalt hare]

irl you can actually even collapse them into what could be a 1x1 or a 1x2 space

[proven saddle]

20k for aquamari and it'll last for ages

[hard ginkgo]

health lvl 50 wtf

[cerulean apex]

i grind alot

[slow night]

i see health level up randomly when i’m running, not sure how u got it that high in the first place tho

for vitality i think you need to be shot tho

[cerulean apex]

it levels up with endurance and strength but im max in both of those so no exp gain no more. suppose to level up vitality to level up health but nothing i do is raising it

getting shot u say?

[slow night]

i believe so

[cerulean apex]

allrighty ill try runnin to my death a few times

[young goblet]

how can i run resort if i dont have class 6

even with class 5 i get instantly dropped

[cerulean apex]

play smarter

if u need to go there for quests let the looters go first after 15 minutes it should be quiet

if ur trying to go for loot... sj6 and get there first

[young goblet]

he sprinted into me i was there first

[slow night]

i run resort with a scav vest a balaclava and a 5-7, you couldn’t pay me to play that map if there weren’t tasks on it

[young goblet]

but my igolnik was useless and i got double tapped by an m4

[cerulean apex]

for the most part... armour dont matter in this game... its the ammo thats important

[sinful roost]

Just rat around for the first chunk of the raid, go in well after the gunfights end, grab quest items, don’t linger

[hard ginkgo]

54k to insure gun armor rig and helmet do it or na?

[cerulean apex]

igolnik has a high richochet chance

[young goblet]

yes i had the most expensive ammo for 545 and still died

[proven saddle]

also low flesh damage

[sinful roost]

I think you are just getting shot too much before you shoot them enough

[young goblet]

i got shot twice

i hit him 4 times

4

5

5 i mean

[cerulean apex]

they prob runnin m61 or something high tier

[young goblet]

they were

but what do i do

[sinful roost]

Shooting limbs 5 times wont do too much

[young goblet]

i hit all chest

not even stomach

[slow night]

insurance is generally only worth it if you plan to insurance fraud and put on a new kit, or if you have a group that can hide your shit after you die

[hard ginkgo]

fuck it

already done it

already thought fuck it

[young goblet]

i wish all ammo was a little worse so the game could be more tactical

[fervent swift]

It's already plenty tactical

[slow night]

yeah i insure every raid as a solo, so long as you can trade out helmets or rigs off a scav/pmc about 50% of the time then it’s worth

[hard ginkgo]

[young goblet]

im fine when i loose a fight to skill

[proven saddle]

ammo isnt the issue

its availability

with the flea

[young goblet]

but when someone has better shit then me its not fun

[proven saddle]

make the flea no weapons/ammo and problem solved

[young goblet]

i wish i could go back to early wipe

skill should matter more then time spent playing

[proven saddle]

it does

one well placed shot and anyone is dead

[young goblet]

how so

[proven saddle]

headshots

[young goblet]

altyns

[proven saddle]

ive seen like 3 this whole wipe

all on factory

[slow night]

altyns aren’t common at all rn

[young goblet]

ive killed 3 people with them and died to a ton of people with them

[slow night]

you can pretty much kill 90% of the player base atm with a pm pistol if ur aim is cracked

[proven saddle]

also one shot and they get disoriented af

reposition take another shot

they cant hear shit

vision is blurry

[young goblet]

but they can just spray

[proven saddle]

i hate running altyns

[young goblet]

spray and pray is half this game

[proven saddle]

not if you position yourself right

pick a streamer and google streamer 0 to hero

[icy quartz]

So is the Vulcan better than the altyn?

[slow night]

and you said you were using igolnik right? you aren’t crazily outmatched or anything, if you put 2 or 3 into an altyn they drop, or like 5 or 6 into most armor

[proven saddle]

not even most armor

[young goblet]

i put 5 into the man he put 2 into me

[hard ginkgo]

is cyclon worth alot?

[proven saddle]

class 5-6 take 4 - 5 shots

[proven saddle]

50k

[young goblet]

im pretty sure he magdumped me but he only landed 2 shots

[hard ginkgo]

more than a cms?

[proven saddle]

yes

like double

even more actually

[hard ginkgo]

ok ty

[proven saddle]

means you were out in the open

[slow night]

yea and your gun has a fire rate of ~700 and his was semi auto, your literally using a top tier bullet, if you want to use a dif platform then do that

[young goblet]

bro he had a 416

[proven saddle]

and you had an ak

throw a nade, run around, shoot him in the back of the head

[young goblet]

he sprinted into me

[proven saddle]

dont give him the chance

anything is counterable

[young goblet]

thats what i wanted to do

[slow night]

i thought u said m61 my b, either way you don’t get to complain about ammo using igolnik, you both had a chance to drop each other

[young goblet]

but i was walking and all of a sudden im dead

all im saying is i think tarkov early wipe is better since fights are so long

[proven saddle]

i thought he mag dumped

[young goblet]

more time for tactics

[young goblet]

he did

but he landed 2 shots

2 lucky shots

[proven saddle]

theres always time for tactics

[young goblet]

and it somehow dropped me

[proven saddle]

dont put yourself in a position where you can get mag dumped

[young goblet]

then how do you leave shoreline

[proven saddle]

or if its a map like woods make it as unlikely as possible

[young goblet]

like i was 3rd floor of resort

what would i do i need to leave eventually

[cobalt hare]

there are like 5 different exits

[proven saddle]

you have plenty of options

5 exits not counting windows

[young goblet]

he rushed me i didnt know he was there till i was dead

i didnt have any plans of fighting

[cobalt hare]

you spent the last 10 minutes arguing in chat about a guy in your game

[proven saddle]

rushing is pretty loud my guy

[cobalt hare]

get over it already

[young goblet]

i had a zsh from a guard

[proven saddle]

sound IS broken tho so

[young goblet]

im saying that early wipe is better

thats what im arguing

the game is more fun when the ttk is higher

[proven saddle]

you can always wait for next wipe

[slow night]

as someone who used igolnik all last wipe pretty much, i almost never felt outgeared. sure early wipe has more counter play since you don’t die instantly to mistakes, but that doesn’t mean later wipe is less tactical, just less forgiving.

[proven saddle]

^

[hard ginkgo]

fuck reserve

only 1 fucking extract

and the one extract

[proven saddle]

theres like 3

[hard ginkgo]

makes a massive fucking beeping noise

[proven saddle]

what

[hard ginkgo]

when you click ity

[sinful roost]

Pmc scav extract

[proven saddle]

d-2, train and hermatic

[sinful roost]

Just finish what you’re doing and run there

[hard ginkgo]

idk where d2 is

[proven saddle]

bunker

[cobalt hare]

train's been pretty free all night for me

not a soul there

[young goblet]

reserve is nice you can fight one player at a time

[hard ginkgo]

bunker full of chads

[sinful roost]

Reserve scares me

[proven saddle]

reserve full of chads

[cobalt hare]

also buy RR and just scale the rocks

[proven saddle]

thats the point

[hard ginkgo]

buy rr

ye 4m

[cobalt hare]

then you don't have to deal with the rest of extracts

lmao

[hard ginkgo]

for a melee

[cobalt hare]

4m you can make in half a day

[sinful roost]

I cannot for the life of me complete the mission to check all hermetic doors, I always get clapped by some dude kitted out

[slow night]

i wish there was some kind of back hall behind the power for d2, i’ve been stuck in that area so often

[cobalt hare]

just scav interchange 24/7

[proven saddle]

1 scav run nets you about 300k on average

[hard ginkgo]

where is power for d2

[young goblet]

in the back of the bunker

[cobalt hare]

[proven saddle]

so that means 1 mil in 3 scav runs

[slow night]

underground control room

[young goblet]

by marked room

[proven saddle]

depending on your rep you can do 3 scav runs in an hour with pmc runs in between thats 1.5 mil an hour easy

at least

thats if you dont find any high tier loot

[young goblet]

i just wish i could run class six

but it costs too much for me

[proven saddle]

you can

[slow night]

what class 5 were u running btw?

[proven saddle]

i run class 4 lol

does the job

[slow night]

i like the gzhel, low move speed and ergo penalties

but only good to block 1 shot really

[proven saddle]

single use armor

2-3 shots of lower tier ammo

[slow night]

yeah, plus it’s cheap

god did btc lvl 3 get it’s time increased, fuckin 4 days to upgrade

[proven saddle]

maybe?

never had btc 3

[sonic plaza]

i spawned as a scav with a TerraGroup Labs access keycard isnt that thing really good?

[young goblet]

its not insane and pretty common tbh

[bold kernel]

Worth 200k

[young goblet]

but still like 200k

[bold kernel]

So yes good

[slow night]

i probably won’t go for it next wipe, the grind for solar really makes me hate the game for a while

[bold kernel]

Guys i know it sounds like weird I bought the game and i have no idea how to download can someone help ?

[hard ginkgo]

i thought they were like 60k

[sonic plaza]

oh okay i wasnt sure because im new

ty guys

[sinful roost]

Extract with it and save it until you unlock the fleamarket

[bold kernel]

75k euros for solar is ridiculous

But the earlier u do the btc farm the better

U will start turning big profit

[slow night]

yeah i’ll be happy to have it, but idk if its worth the mental health damages

[proven saddle]

click the download button? idk

[bold kernel]

lmao how to reload sks???

[proven saddle]

get the launcher, start it, download, play

[hard ginkgo]

when the bunker noise stops does that mean you have to go reactivate the door?

[young goblet]

r

[proven saddle]

press r

[bold kernel]

cant

bring bullets instead of mags for sks

[slow night]

nah you good

[bold kernel]

just pure bullets

[proven saddle]

i think he meant hermatic

not sure

[young goblet]

well i depends on what mags your running

[bold kernel]

oh ok i remove bullets from mags?

[young goblet]

you can remove the internal mag

[bold kernel]

idk im in main screen of offical page I bought the game and i logged in all i see is trailer of the game

yea then press r

[young goblet]

and just put a normal mag in

[proven saddle]

scorll down

or change tab

or something

[bold kernel]

ok i got it wtf lmao i almost die

[proven saddle]

i feel like new players vanished

i only see sks's on scavs really

[slow night]

i think it’s under profile or something, you will see an area called purchases or owned or something, it might say nothing purchased as well if it hasn’t went through yet

[sinful roost]

What’s the best strat for doing all hermetic doors in reserve? I don’t have access to any decent armor/ammo so i get deleted by both raiders and pmcs whenever I try it

Any tips?

[cobalt hare]

buy a labs card

go offline mode those raiders until you can consistently click their heads

raiders no longer a problem

[bold kernel]

Thank you i found the button it started the download

[pure anchor]

got gunsmith part 1 sorted thanks to everybody for the help

[cobalt hare]

what was it?

[proven saddle]

im guessing it was durability

[cobalt hare]

wasn't it a 100

[sinful roost]

Raiders arent so much the problem, I just includes them because I’ve died more than once to them

[proven saddle]

dont thinks so

cba to look for the pic again

[cobalt hare]

huh

says 100

[proven saddle]

oh

[sinful roost]

Is it max durability?

[proven saddle]

it is

and its sorted

[sinful roost]

Remove ammo?

[pure anchor]

nope i didn't realise that you have to go to the trader>andpress turn in lmao ( i know this comment is going to get laughed at so hard) fml

😄

[cobalt hare]

well you won'be the first one

[hard ginkgo]

you do....

unlesss like theres a timer

[steel oak]

i know you have to go to the trader and turn it in, im well aware. and still somehow forget to about 25% of the time.

[slow night]

i didn’t understand you at first since you said bunker, that was my b i shoulda known what u meant

[hard ginkgo]

when does train depart

[steel oak]

variable

7 minutes after train arrival

[slow night]

anywhere i can find ophthalmoscopes reliability without ultramed key? i want my thicc case

[steel oak]

big booty/stronghold/crack house on customs is decent

[cobalt hare]

i found mine in the camp on woods as a scav

[hard ginkgo]

just found a dvl 10 in a weapon box.... rare?

[slow night]

is there a loose spawn in crack? or u just mean the med case chance

[amber valley]

the DVL10 is a pretty neat rifle, ill say taht

you CANNOT top load it though

[steel oak]

it can spawn loose in medical spots on shelving upstairs in addition to the med case

its a good gun, a lot of people use it to get their shooter born in heaven shots

[slow night]

alright i’ll probably run that then, thanks

[steel oak]

it can be challenging to find the mags to make it work pre-flea market

[amber valley]

yeah thats why i mentioned its not toploaded

the m700 IS toploaded so as long as you got a mag in it youre good

[steel oak]

depending on your level it is probably worth it to vendor, but it will vendor well

[cobalt hare]

its also needed for a gunsmith quest afaik

[amber valley]

yeah but i think thats WAY down the line right?

[steel oak]

gunsmith 5, i am currently on it now and i am 27

[hard ginkgo]

when it honks

is it leaving?

[steel oak]

it honks on arrival and 1 minute before departure

try to time it in last 15-20 seconds

[hard ginkgo]

all good im out

finally

it just left

[steel oak]

grats bro

[hard ginkgo]

but someone was on it

i was on it for ages

[steel oak]

people will often stay on their side

not like they can loot you

but prepared for a fight of course

[amber valley]

so if youre a beginner and youre looking for help finishign a quest, would you ask in here or in LFG?

[merry dust]

off to labs i go

[steel oak]

would you like to go into a channel?

[merry dust]

both

[steel oak]

god speed sir

[merry dust]

you can also hop in a beginners assistance

[sinful roost]

Usec camp on woods I’ve found 2

[merry dust]

appreciated

[merry dust]

hermetic 4 keys

[amber valley]

Oh lol.. I just need someone to go to factory with me so i can repair those circuit boards and have some cover in the process

or multiple someones

a platoon of goons, if you will lmfao

[cobalt hare]

eu/us?

[merry dust]

am busy on labs

[amber valley]

us

[cobalt hare]

ah

[merry dust]

i would help

[steel oak]

im not much of a factory gamer

[amber valley]

the way i see it, the more of us the less of them, right? lol

[merry dust]

yeah

[steel oak]

i am available if you would like tho

[sinful roost]

Just throw it in your container and keep throwing yourself at it until you get both

You’ll eventually spawn right next to them

[cobalt hare]

that's how i did it too

[merry dust]

but it barely matters because factory is slight pvp for 1-2minutes 5 minutes break pscavs rest of raid done

[amber valley]

Last wipe i managed to sneak in, do the thing and sneaky breeki out, but now that tagilla is stomping around im scared lmao

and i cant just go in gearless cause every scav and their mom will smell fresh meat and come to touch my butt

[ebon cedar]

can anyone help me run through quests? im new to the game and have nobody to play with, just trying to learn extracts and loot areas

[sinful roost]

Most factory quests I just burn money and brute force it

[cobalt hare]

makarov + bank robber so you dont get marked and cursed

15k or so per attempt

[amber valley]

oh really? you can spend that little on it?

[merry dust]

[amber valley]

Neat.

[merry dust]

rig + gun or backpack

[ebon cedar]

[cobalt hare]

nah that's just being out of shape

[crisp nest]

no

[slow night]

hmm anyone else had that happen before, half a green bar full blue bar and heavy breathing. couldn’t even scope and hold breath to make it stop

what is best way to get money spent up on pk?

[cobalt hare]

buy dollars

sell him intel items

[hard ginkgo]

fuck it

just spent 200k

on dollars

just to get him ll2

[cobalt hare]

200k ain't much

you probably need scopes and stuff

[amber valley]

200k DOLLARS?!

is a LOT of usd

Oh wait

i misread it

[cobalt hare]

may as well use these dollars to get your dollars worth

[amber valley]

ignore me lmfao

[cobalt hare]

200k rur is like 3k bucks or so

irl

[crisp nest]

im not

therefore its bad

[merry dust]

mods

[crisp nest]

😎

[merry dust]

mods

mods

[crisp nest]

[amber valley]

so do yall think i should run factory at night to do the tool kits? I do have a nightvision monocle

[serene remnant]

Best ammo for adar at lvl 11?

[cobalt hare]

855

[bold kernel]

if you feel like it then yes

[amber valley]

Goiddamnit

I guess running around "hold your fire" and intentionally hiding does nothing to persuade people to not shoot you lol

[bold kernel]

nope

they will shoot you lol

[amber valley]

this guy spent more in ammo killing me than i had in gear

[bold kernel]

you died?

[amber valley]

fucking instantly lol

[merry dust]

just spent 137k on ammo

[bold kernel]

aw :(

[merry dust]

died to hacker

[cobalt hare]

makarov + bank robber. nothing else

[merry dust]

;'D

[amber valley]

i ran out on teh wrong side of factory, guy with mosin tried to tap me so i just fucked off

[cobalt hare]

hope for a good spawn and then just sneakily do it

[amber valley]

then a sweaty guy with full kit just guns me

at the tool thing

lmao

[hard ginkgo]

how much do full 50/50 hexgrid sell for

250?

[crisp nest]

use tarkov-market

[proven talon]

how's my akm so far?

[cobalt hare]

mid tier

if you can get the shiny mags

[proven talon]

now down to 78 rec

[proven talon]

im a little concerned about using the antidote for my muzzle

because it adds loudness

but using a silencer pushes the recoil to like 98

[cobalt hare]

for me either you go suppressed or none of this matters

[deep edge]

Bruh the RFB slaps

[merry dust]

https://medal.tv/clips/61548500/d1337JIEf4bg

pog.

[proven talon]

oh

suppressed it goes to 92 recoil

i mean is a suppressor really worth going from 78 recoil to 92?

[pseudo thunder]

can some1 help me with a quest who has ll3 ragmen?

[crisp nest]

you pick either supressed or good recoil

its your choice

unless you use asr that thing is insane

[merry dust]

why mod an akm

id rather mod 101

[cobalt hare]

why not

[bold kernel]

you need help with that quest?

[proven talon]

because im only level 14

[crisp nest]

u mean 103

[proven talon]

cant get a 103

[crisp nest]

bruh

101 isnt 762

[merry dust]

what i meant was 103

[crisp nest]

101 is 556, sbih gaming

[bold kernel]

762 aks slap

Change my mind

[cobalt hare]

this one's mine

[novel merlin]

can some please escort me to jaeger unlock in woods?

[merry dust]

they do slap

[crisp nest]

m4 slaps harder

[merry dust]

.366 ap-m slaps good too

[velvet blade]

at what scav karma level will raiders not attack you?

[crisp nest]

always

[long salmon]

the .336 eko are hunting rounds

[crisp nest]

they will

[bold kernel]

Virgin m855a1 vs the Chad thundercock 762 bp

[crisp nest]

raiders are NOT scavs

scav bosses are

[cobalt hare]

and this is with compensator

i would just go suppressed

[velvet blade]

but it says "Scav Raiders" 😦

[cobalt hare]

it's not going to be a laser beam anyhow

[amber valley]

im going to run 1 more solo pmm run, cause i got one kit down. if i can do it again then im good. if i cant ill ping you]

[bold kernel]

sure

this my builded ak

is best weapon in game

this ammo

• terminator

i littery killed taggila with 13 rounds and altyn with 15

[crisp nest]

ak?

lol

and m995 goes clean thru altyn

[amber valley]

fuckin managed to do it

[pseudo thunder]

can some1 help me with a quest who has ll3 ragmen?

[amber valley]

only bought all my alloted bank robbers lol

[bold kernel]

nicee

[hard ginkgo]

what is the ssd for completing jaegers quest for?

just sell it?

[sly ruin]

Sell

[vestal cargo]

ye just vendor it

[sly ruin]

It’s the usb drives you need

[sinful roost]

I assume the best bet for getting fir flashdrives is rush safes on dorms/docks in shoreline?

[nova ivy]

sell to peacekeeper, storage media is a good way to get his barter spending to par without wasting money

[vestal cargo]

only thing ssd is really used for is security 3 + making flash drives/vpx

[sinful roost]

Ssd is free 30k from fence

[sly ruin]

How do you find the armband

[vestal cargo]

evasion? from stashes + scav case

[sinful roost]

Armband?

[sly ruin]

Oh ok

[slow night]

does anyone know how the metabolism skill works with something like aquamari, since aquamari has 2.5x the capacity of a water and also has 3x the hydration per durability does that mean drinking a whole aquamari is like drinking 7.5 waters? disregarding the diminishing returns of a skill within a raid that you already got the initial amount of

[cedar stump]

For The Survivalist Path - Thrifty, do I have to leave the stuff in ZB-016 and ZB-014 in the same raid? Or can I do one bunker per raid

[slow night]

like could i just go into a raid with an attack 2 filled with aquamari and get the 40% value for all of them being 7.5 waters

[cobalt hare]

you can do one

[cedar stump]

Ty

[velvet blade]

I can't believe how annoying the alarm in reserve is

[pulsar compass]

welcome to reserveslmao

[potent crater]

what durability of gun should i look for?

[velvet blade]

I mean, I usually camp in a bush when it plays, because it plays once

But this time, someone decided to hit it twice in a row

8 minutes of the siren, PLEASE

[bold kernel]

here we go again

[cobalt hare]

beeep

[velvet blade]

It's loud, it's annoying, you can't hear well when it's playing, and it spawns EVIL BEINGS that roam reserve

[potent crater]

what durability of gun should i look for?

[cobalt hare]

i'm fairly sure that's why people press it

[velvet blade]

what do you mean exactly? what are you trying to do? you usually want as high to 100% as possible

[potent crater]

i mean what durability should i not use the gun at

[cobalt hare]

depends on the gun

[velvet blade]

depends on the gun, you can still use an SKS with say 60 dura

[cobalt hare]

i like my mosins 50%

[velvet blade]

but for a full auto it's preferable to have it above ~80%

[potent crater]

ok

[wet python]

Hey everyone, hope all is well

Starting to like the game a lot

Issue is my damn stash side

Any tips for early stash management?

Size*

[cobalt hare]

Rigs, disassembling guns

[wet python]

I’m just hoarding everything now

[cobalt hare]

buy the scav box

[wet python]

Ok

I have the standard edition

Who sells it?

[cobalt hare]

the best rigs are those that let you have more space than they take up. AVS rigs, Azimuts and the like are the best

[velvet blade]

Look up everything on wiki, decide if you need it SOON or not; vendor. Always put bags in bags. Last bag put largest rig you have, and fill it with stuff. Always fold weapons. Always put mods on other mods if available.

[cobalt hare]

scav box costs 1.1 mil from therapist

[young goblet]

what do i do about scavs

do i shoot and get fucked in the ass by fence or let them kill me

[cobalt hare]

take handles off AKs to collapse them from 2x4 to 1x4

[wet python]

Ok will do

[velvet blade]

Also make sure you install mods on weapons to save space, like flashlights or sights/scopes (make sure it won't take more space than if alone)

[wet python]

In raids I’m just doing customs, filling up my inventory, and then getting the hell out

[sinful roost]

So i found a graphics card on my very first raid this wipe, should i save it for when I get the flea and get 500k or do i save it + 2 more for the mechanic quest?

[wet python]

Just dealing with scavs for now

Somehow already got the marked room key

[velvet blade]

save it for the quest

you'll need 3 found in raid

[sinful roost]

Okidoki

[velvet blade]

Signal pt 4

[sinful roost]

Yeah i just got to it

That’s why i ask

[velvet blade]

Farming pt 4*

[sinful roost]

Because last wipe I had a btc farm going before I finished the quest

[velvet blade]

I'd say prioritize finishing quests over having a BTC farm xd

[cobalt hare]

But then again farming 4 doesn't matter all that much

so uhh

[velvet blade]

the xp tho

[cobalt hare]

ah the 8k exp

[velvet blade]

I really mainly focus on xp from quests XD

but that's just me

leveling up will unlock better stuff

[cobalt hare]

well, being a level 19 i can see why you would focus on exp

[sinful roost]

Yeah xp is priority this wipe

[velvet blade]

I need about 6k more xp for level 20 😢

PAIN

[sinful roost]

I just hit 16 and am just chuggin along

[velvet blade]

I usually farm scavs at night

avg 2.5k xp per raid

[cobalt hare]

bought this from fence, repaired, 130k total spent

#worth?

basically a level 5 armor with great repair

[velvet blade]

I'd say so idk

wait slick is 5?

[potent crater]

nope its 6

[cobalt hare]

well it's kind of shot to hell and if i remember right armor loses a point of armorness when it loses half its condition

so it's like a class 5.4 armor now

[potent crater]

anyone know a good gun for SBIH

[velvet blade]

muzin :3

[cobalt hare]

remove pistol grips from guns to stack them. stack backpacks into one another

there

[velvet blade]

only in tarkov: bagception

[cobalt hare]

the bag of holding irl

[potent crater]

ah yes : bagception

[sinful roost]

Sell all your guns for 1.1mil and buy a junkbox from doctor lady

[thin pasture]

I keep getting game aborted message. Are the servers down or what?

[bold kernel]

me 2

[sinful roost]

I’ve got 2 almost full junk boxes of everything under the sun just waiting for that damn flea market to be unlocked

[cobalt hare]

wish you could do that

[crude citrus]

yes

same

also would be nice to have somewhere you can store gear sets

like a closet

[potent crater]

what lvl are you

[elfin pendant]

when i look into to this window on shoreline weather station i see a curtain and i cant see inside but my friend can see inside and even people

[sinful roost]

16

[potent crater]

ok

[cobalt hare]

tarkov's like an airplane, everything is cramped and you need to pay out of your ass for any modicum of comfort

[potent crater]

what is a good mosin build for it

[elfin pendant]

before i used to be able to see inside

[sinful roost]

Got first junk box at ~6 and the other ~14

[slow night]

i just kind of sell everything, i never have more than 3 kits, i probably lose a bunch of money by doing it but at least my stash is pretty

[cobalt hare]

noooooo~

[crude citrus]

i have three scav boxes lol

[misty orchid]

man i just can't get anything good, I usually play solo and end up killing 2 or 3 guys in a 4 man before I am just too low HP and die to the last one

[cobalt hare]

don't sbih with a mosin

[crude citrus]

and im at level 27

[potent crater]

what should i use

[cobalt hare]

a semi auto

[sinful roost]

Tbh i scav a lot and with most scavs being friendly these days i come out of raid with tons of shit

[cobalt hare]

with a high velocity bullet

[potent crater]

can you give me an example?

[cobalt hare]

i'd suggest an RFB if you're cheap

[crude citrus]

im sadly still quite low on my scav standing

[cobalt hare]

same as a hunter but better

[misty orchid]

what if we dont have flea?

[cobalt hare]

welp

[misty orchid]

exactly

[sinful roost]

Same, i’m only sitting around .9 or so

[misty orchid]

the game is so hard to progress

idk what to do

[crude citrus]

do tasks

[cobalt hare]

buy a hunter from the fence lmao

[crude citrus]

run scavs

dont do sbih till later

its a pain to do

[misty orchid]

yeah I just dont know what to do before then, idk where the tasks are and stuffz

[crude citrus]

only time i tried to do it i got fucked over

[sinful roost]

Since you have sbih already it doesnt matter if you rush it down or not, let it happen naturally as you do other tasks

[crude citrus]

got a kill at 90m

like damnit

[cobalt hare]

the gun condition patch actually made fence prices kinda okay

i don't have a problem with a 50% condition mosin for a 20k

[sinful roost]

Last wipe I had a kill at ~215m with an ak only with iron sights, but that was when i was really fresh and a long way from starting sbih

[crude citrus]

whut how?

was the dude at like 1hp?

[sinful roost]

Headshot

[crude citrus]

nice

[cobalt hare]

also this beauty

[sinful roost]

It was from tarkone offices across to the other side of the canal

[misty orchid]

I wish all the begginers assistance chats werent full lol

[cobalt hare]

20k for op-sks with a mount

[crude citrus]

sks with opm scope is dope

[cobalt hare]

it's a steal

[crude citrus]

ehh low dura sks is a pain for long range

but close range just spam fire

[cobalt hare]

you're probably right

[sinful roost]

Buy mags for it, relying on the internal mag is a pain in the ass for close range firefights

[cobalt hare]

lmao yeah they made the mag level 1

it's like the devs actually care about early game

[thin pasture]

Whats wrong with servers? why game aborted? I have only been able to play factory all day

[cobalt hare]

i had that on a.. very specific driver version

[misty orchid]

my servers seem fine

[cobalt hare]

only factory would load

you're not using the beta drivers?

[thin pasture]

i just dled the new patch

not sure about drivers

[hollow thorn]

Is there a place where I can compare weapon attachments online

[thin pasture]

new update sorry

was playing last week no problems

[misty orchid]

if you have weapon modification station, you can view the changes of each attachment in the modding menu

[cobalt hare]

feels like if you want any sort of combat as a scav you have to go reserve

anywhere else it's a hippie march

[misty orchid]

does killing raiders lower your scav rep?

[cobalt hare]

no

[misty orchid]

good to know

should I even attempt to as a scav tyhough?

[cobalt hare]

ugh

depends on the gun and stuff

[misty orchid]

yeah but do scavs ever have good rounds?

I seem to always have like PS or P or T or PST its just never good

[cobalt hare]

the round doesn't matter if you facetap

[misty orchid]

I guess thats true, maybe im just not good enough but I'm always just bombarded by like 5 raiders at a time lol

[hollow thorn]

Raiders use better tactics overall

[misty orchid]

yea

[hollow thorn]

their groups are tighter knit and they try to flank n shit

[misty orchid]

yeppers

[hollow thorn]

to answer your other question tho, I have gotten BP rounds as a scav before

[young goblet]

whats a GL Shock Stock I cant find any on flea

[hollow thorn]

and SNB

[misty orchid]

danngggg

[sinful roost]

Best place to check for raiders/corpses on reserve? I rarely find them when I’m scavving around

[olive turret]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Fab_Defence_GL_Shock_Stock

[sinful roost]

At least recently

[misty orchid]

I would say K buildings

[sinful roost]

Last wipe i’d always find then hanging out by train

[misty orchid]

thats where I seem to find them

[sinful roost]

I check the bunker tunnels but have only found a corpse pile once after running it 20-30 times this wipe

[misty orchid]

wait, how are people still joining beginners assistance chats when theyre full?

[hollow thorn]

will power

[misty orchid]

im just not cool enough

[sinful roost]

What are the K buildings on reserve?

[misty orchid]

theyre right in front of train

the 3 buildings in front of the furthest bunker

[sinful roost]

Ooooh ok the long ones with train tracks through them?

[misty orchid]

ya

[young goblet]

why would you spend 100k on a pistol grip when you can literally barter 1 milk for it

[cobalt hare]

i sometimes saw it on some fenced guns

[young goblet]

are people that lazy lol

[young goblet]

mechanic had a trade for a wd-40 so i did that

[cobalt hare]

👍 Alright

[open frigate]

is there any guns i should be trying to get as a very low level with bad ammo?

[merry dust]

level 6

[cobalt hare]

55/80?

[merry dust]

not anymore

like 5 or 4 at that point

but still pretty good

[cosmic tinsel]

SKS, mp-153/133

[merry dust]

130k is a deal

[olive turret]

spot my mistake

[cobalt hare]

using aksu

[cosmic tinsel]

i dont see shit D:

[merry dust]

sniper 1283 metres in the specific bush with one little branch out

[slow night]

i wish all the skills kind of leveled up together, so many of them are borderline impossible to get

[young goblet]

2 mil grips that i cant buy

[young goblet]

bro wtf is that :sad: emoji

[merry dust]

i never knew how to get perception up

[young goblet]

you just gotta loot

scoot and loot

"Loot Proximity Notification"

wtf is that

sounds op

but the white dot is defualt

[slow night]

mag drills is the main one that bothers me, mostly because they said they buffed it’s progression this wipe but it’s still slow as all hell. every time i kill reshala i unload all his boys mags, and most raids i feel like i refill 2-3 mags

[young goblet]

you dont need elite perception to see it

[cobalt hare]

bot is insane

i think it starts to appear even when you're not looking at the thing that's close by

[open frigate]

slugs or regular shells?

[cosmic tinsel]

regular buckshot

7mm to start, 8.5 as soon as you can

[open frigate]

ty

[olive turret]

im at emercom

extract is railway

game is bugged

cant heal

[nova ivy]

Praise the drunk scavs, regulated materials done. Ash-12 time les goo

[young goblet]

bro this is the best sentence i have ever heard

"praise the drunk scavs"

i fucking cant lmfao

[sinful roost]

Yo why tf is the roler so cheap this wipe?

[cobalt vector]

cause it rolled

[sinful roost]

I get everything is lower priced due to bitcoin dropping but wtf

Last wipe it was like 500-600k

And now skullrings are more expensive

[cobalt vector]

has anyone found an ssd this wipe

[olive turret]

cause they're common this wipe

[olive turret]

yes

[cobalt vector]

ive searched so many pcs and filing cabinets

and havent found one

is safe's the place to look?

[olive turret]

safe is a good bet

[sinful roost]

Multiple

I’ve found 5+ from pcs

[sinful roost]

Really? I havent seen one yet

[olive turret]

theres a spot in ic that spawns them

[sinful roost]

Where do they spawn so frequently?

I’ve yet to see anything really valuable on those funky shelves

[potent crater]

anyone know some low risk money runs if im looking to get a college down payment of rubles

[olive turret]

lockers, in raid google interchange roler goldchain btc

[sinful roost]

Scav raids on reserve

[olive turret]

cache runs

[potent crater]

what about pmc tho when i dont have scsav

[potent crater]

arent those completely RNG

[olive turret]

isnt marked room rng?

[sinful roost]

Just hoover up all of the silencers, raider guns, missed stuff

[potent crater]

yah but i mean like arent caches super rng because they can be almsot anyting in the game?

[olive turret]

some things cant be spawned but wide range

[potent crater]

yah that is what i thought

[olive turret]

@sinful roost https://youtu.be/w_aOxaS6ohQ?t=155

[potent crater]

tip for anyone looking for like 7 rubles look for basically bater items on flea and some are selling for less than they do to therapist

[olive turret]

its been somewhat nerfed but they still spawn there

[potent crater]

i was about to say it got nerfed

especially gas ans

[olive turret]

i still find roler and btc every now and then

[olive turret]

i see those in tech stores still commonly

[potent crater]

yah i was saying on flea they go for less than to therapist by like 3k ish

[olive turret]

ah i see

[potent crater]

i didnt send those msgs right

[potent crater]

i meant for this

[olive turret]

yep yep got it

[deep copper]

sometimes player models speak (english or russian). is that only NPCs or do player models speak too?

[cobalt vector]

does anyone else spend 10 minutes searching for pscav on reserve

i can never find a game 😦

[harsh tree]

If i send screenshots can someone tell me what to get rid of in my stash?

[young goblet]

players CAN speak

but that doesnt mean they will

[olive turret]

theres a specific npc that can speak english as well as players (pmcs) that can speak english

[slow night]

trigger warning, this photo might make you hard

[hollow thorn]

its tough but uh

[olive turret]

solar?

[hollow thorn]

sometimes it takes me 5 min sometimes I wait 40

[slow night]

yea
