[young goblet]

if you hear "scav spotted" or "pmc over there" then its most likely a raider

[olive turret]

mines almost up

raiders are only on reserve or labs

any other english voice on different maps is a pmc or player

[young goblet]

most importantly both are hostile and raiders can actually aim

[deep copper]

how about russian voices?

[young goblet]

so if you are hurt or have shit gear then dont fuck with americans

[potent crater]

what are some things i should do now that i have flea

[young goblet]

they are from Scavs, Bosses, and Bears

[slow night]

90% of the time it will be a scav since vast majority of players are usec if ur NA

[potent crater]

what does solar do?

[slow night]

or boss yeajh

[young goblet]

im Bear

BEAR gang for life

[slow night]

halves fuel consumption

[potent crater]

god damn

[potent crater]

yah i dont like the idea of kill bear tasks

[slow night]

luckily there arent many, i think its just 7

[young goblet]

are there more BEARS on RU servers?

[potent crater]

good question

[cobalt hare]

yes

[slow night]

id assume so, most people would pick a language they understand

[harsh tree]

Can someone tell me whats trash? and what to keep?

[potent crater]

ima move to Russia when i get those tasks 🧠

[cobalt hare]

it's more about patriotism or something like that for them (us)

[young goblet]

The only thing i dont like about bear is when i go прекратить огонь nobody understands and they think its a taunt

[cosmic tinsel]

the fuck you say to me

😉

[potent crater]

yah

[slow night]

yeah lol, i want to learn the common things like dont shoot. but so far ive never met a friendly bear because i always shoot them when they make noises at me and then they return fire

[potent crater]

is marked key worth price

or like which ones are

[young goblet]

well dorms is like 300k rn i think

and a docs case is worth like 2 something

[slow night]

they all are if your survival rate is above like 20%

[olive turret]

lil B WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME

[young goblet]

so your really only need 1 lucky run out of the 25 you have

[potent crater]

why is my awaiting session start taking so long

[young goblet]

one time i waited for 26 mins

then i got kicked

and lost all my stuff

it fucking kept my hopes up

stupid tarkov

[potent crater]

that sucks

i have been waiting for like 5 mins so idk

at least it is scazv

[slow night]

i restart my game if the "back" option disapears and my queue is over 12mins, sometimes you get stuck a long ass time

[potent crater]

scav

[young goblet]

oh if it happens on a player sometimes you spawn in cheeky spots

[slow night]

i need to get back to tasks, im on track to fill my btc farm lvl 3 before i even hit level 40, fuck theses tasks man

[bold kernel]

i just decided to try tarkov for the first time, match make with randoms, die literally the moment i load in. did they kill me for my stuff?

[cobalt vector]

probably, if u wanna play with people go to the #pvp-lfg @bold kernel

[olive turret]

well thats a right of passage for some people

dont queue with randoms from in game lfg

use discord to find people

[bold kernel]

why is it even a feature that is presented if that's how it usually turns out?

[olive turret]

because you use that to find the people you queue up from discord or you know

[olive turret]

by default you dont show up on the list iirc unless you press start looking for a group

[cosmic tinsel]

we have all been there lol

[tranquil plover]

Don't group with randoms

[young goblet]

yeah never ever q with randoms. Hopefully you had shit gear

[crimson garden]

need some help new to tarkov wanting to run some customs

[woeful sorrel]

can some one help me with performance issuses i have a 2060 16gb of ram and a ryzen 5 and m.2 ssd but i still expirience lots of frame drops and stutters especialy when there are explosions/gunfire

[young goblet]

I would turn on Ram Cleaning

and also limit FPS

you can turn shadow quality down

Does Global Chat Actually work?

and how do you access it

[coral pilot]

it was a feature long time ago but the removed it

didnt get rid of the ui tho

[potent crater]

how much damage has to be done for leg meta to kill?

[unreal horizon]

440

legs have a 1x multiplier, makes it ez

[potent crater]

what servers are you on?

[potent crater]

i thought it would just be enough for it to kill to head

[unreal horizon]

the way it drains, it leaves head/chest till last

at least that's my understanding

[potent crater]

oh like bleeding

[unreal horizon]

by drain i mean what happens when you hit a black limb

[potent crater]

yah

it does it like bleeding

[unreal horizon]

yeah

[umbral shoal]

I'm trying to lvl up and do quests but im disgustingly bad at pvp. In 16 hours of play time I've managed to complete one quest and die in multiple gumfights. Any tips?

[potent crater]

to join me and my friend

[unreal horizon]

avoid fights when you have shit gear

[umbral shoal]

My stash is pretty much full but everything I have is pretty bad. Been trying to do the Salewa quest for therapist but I keep getting nailed by people with heavy duty ammo

[unreal horizon]

the gear differential fucks you in most fights unless you get a lucky headshot, and it doesn't help that you're newer to tarkov pvp in generaal

[upper iron]

Get good and aim for heads, gl bro

[unreal horizon]

i understand its not always possible but i'd try to quietly quest until you can get better gear

[umbral shoal]

I hit a guy 40 times last raid and he still didnt die. PS rounds suck

[upper iron]

The game is really about just getting clapped 24/7 and fighting, it's kinda weird that it's the only way to improve

[unreal horizon]

I highly doubt that lmao, but i get your point

I feel like 40 hitcount would blunt force anyone

[umbral shoal]

To be fair there were healing bits.. and I was dumb enough not to bring something for heavy bleed so I was slowly draining

[upper iron]

Probably shot at a guy like 40 times

hit twice

[cold yarrow]

I know i deserve this for running PS ammo at dorms

but dorms only fucking had a shrimp

in marked

jesus

[upper iron]

PS ammo is fine

if it isn't on a fucking SKS

in dorms

[cold yarrow]

i sprayed 21 bullets at the guy

13 hit

i guess

[woeful sorrel]

i have settings at minimum with ram cleaner on and i get slightly better frames if i go down to 1080p rather than 2k

[upper iron]

he was PROBABLY in class 6

you'd never do that much armor damage to a class 5

with PS

1 hit on a gzhel from PS takes it from like 65 to 40

or something crazy

[cold yarrow]

well he will enjoy my dorms loot

AKA Shrimp pistol

[potent crater]

hahahahaha

what should i do now i have flea

[upper iron]

Also imo, you should always be aiming for the chest or the head

Really

You shouldn't aim ANYWHERE else

[cold yarrow]

i did for chest

[upper iron]

High chest tho

[cold yarrow]

other wise

he had face shield

[upper iron]

Lots of people aim chest but it's center of mass

[cold yarrow]

i can tell you that

[upper iron]

you'd pen class 4 faceshield with PS

or he got REALLY lucky

or he's using altyn (mmm) or a killa

[cold yarrow]

7.62x39 PS recoil not the best

i try to aim for chest but he tanked

[upper iron]

I can prove it to you in a raid if you'd like, I'll come geared, you can shoot me and keep the gear :D

[cold yarrow]

if not wearing t6 armor he would died

[cold yarrow]

nah its fine

ill probably just hoard it

[upper iron]

doesn't bother me

[cold yarrow]

kinda bothers me cuz i have limited stash space lol

[upper iron]

I'd like you to understand that PS 7.62 really isn't that bad of an ammo, but you should steer away from the SKS now

are you 20 yet

[cold yarrow]

i wasnt using sks

was using AK

with 83 recoil

yeah im level 20

[upper iron]

[cold yarrow]

why

[potent crater]

should i get medcase

[cold yarrow]

yes

[upper iron]

if you'd hit him in the head, he should've died tho

[cold yarrow]

there is no BT equivalent for the 7.62 calibre the BP is just way too expensive for me

i only have 274k roubles

running a 3 mags worth would make me go broke

[sage marlin]

anyone wanna run some im kinda new

[cold yarrow]

welp he rushed me while i was reloading my 9 ammo

while he was on like maybe 20 thorax ho

hp

so

good for him

[upper iron]

you know you can just top load right?

like split the ammo in a mag

buy 30

10 in the top of BP, the rest PS

[slow night]

I think a big one is having use only physical cores unchecked when using ryzen cpu and nvidia gpu, im on a ryzen 9 and a 3070, but you could probably use all the same settings as me if u wanted to try it (except have resolution set to whatever your screen is natively)

[upper iron]

so your first rounds are hard hitting big pen ammo

[cold yarrow]

oh you right

[upper iron]

Most people on a budget do that

Fuck paying almost 2k a round for m855a1

[cold yarrow]

but if i miss my first couple shots i kinda have to reload right

[upper iron]

I top load 60 rounders with 30 M855a1 and bottom load with 30 m865a1

[cold yarrow]

to get that 10 other BP on the other mag

[upper iron]

I mean if you whiff 10 shots on someone in dorms idk what to tell you tho

[cold yarrow]

true

[upper iron]

go for 15 if you need it

[cold yarrow]

i didnt whiff my shots just that he tanked

[upper iron]

well you hit 13 out of 21, that's not bad at all really

3 top loaded BP would've killed him just fyi

[cold yarrow]

miss 7 as he was running into the room

[upper iron]

in the chest

[cold yarrow]

well he didnt expect me sitting in the middle of the hall way like that lol

well cuz i knew i was first one there so i did that

[upper iron]

And you still would've got the kill

top loading is hella important imo, specially for poor people

[cold yarrow]

im so glad the srvv is so cheap for how good it is

[upper iron]

you don't wanna run around the wipe with mid tier ammo anymore because people are geared

[cold yarrow]

the PWS too

[upper iron]

for 5.45 I'd start buying 30 rounders and go 15 BS/Igolnik and 15 BT

[cold yarrow]

wait wtfff

igolniks are cheaper than BS

[upper iron]

well

igolniks are only for penetration

[cold yarrow]

igolnik should 2 shot thorax right

[slow night]

still tho once you penetrate you could kill anyone with anything

[upper iron]

3 shot

igolnik does 37 damage

so it's 3

[cold yarrow]

ah

[upper iron]

BS is 2 if it pens

[cold yarrow]

and also igolniks have like 25% more durability burn

[upper iron]

ye

[cold yarrow]

i guess thats why

[upper iron]

but you pay for that reliable full class 6 pen

so you can tap any head

no matter what they wear

[slow night]

i like the igolnik more ive run both a lot, im sure toploading is the most efficient way but i dont like having to do it

[upper iron]

ye but he's poor

Massive difference between having to top load or not xd

[potent crater]

should i run PBP for 9x19 or would ap 6.3 be smarter

[upper iron]

I run 60 rounders of BS and Igolnik

[slow night]

yea good point

[upper iron]

since I can do it

but early wipe I didn't

I ran 15/15

or once we transitioned into people using c4+

[cold yarrow]

7.62 seems so much better than the 5.45 to me now

since you can easily pack PS ammo into mags after the big fight

[unreal horizon]

545 is ridiculously mediocre

[cold yarrow]

while bring BT as a substitute for BS would still cost alot

[mellow flame]

is the "scav event" over?

[unreal horizon]

yes

[mellow flame]

swear

[merry dust]

bs is amazingly good

i thought bs is bt

and used it in shit aks

i regret it now.

[mellow flame]

you saying yes to me?

[upper iron]

Honestly all of the massive big dick damage/pen ammos got nerfed hard af

[slow night]

yeah the only reason i defaulted to the 5.45 was because i got used to it after spamming the aks-74 since it was cheap from prapor when i was low level

[unreal horizon]

yes, scav event is gone

[mellow flame]

fuk me

[slow night]

but ive been trying the mutant and liking it

[upper iron]

SPP and BP got nerfed hard af :(

[cold yarrow]

the only reason im running 5.45 is cuz rpk is cheap and good stat for price

[upper iron]

[rich rose]

has the scav rep event ended?

[upper iron]

yes

[slow night]

do we still get the .01 per regular extract on scav or was that part of the event

[upper iron]

nah that's perm

[slow night]

sweet

[upper iron]

Honestly it's a good choice

RPK is cheap, has good stats and runs decent ammo

[cold yarrow]

looks cooler than the budget AKs i been running

[upper iron]

Once I unlock ps12b I am only gonna run ASh-12 and MP7

Just look at this

[cold yarrow]

why are ppl ash-12 enjoyers

is it full auto or semi

[upper iron]

both

[cold yarrow]

oh

[upper iron]

How can't you love the gun

it sounds like a fucking cannon

it shoots a hard hitting round

[cold yarrow]

never have tried it

[unreal horizon]

because it's based af

[cold yarrow]

i sold my ps12b

[upper iron]

55% chance to 1 shot c5???

[cold yarrow]

to fund my RR

[olive turret]

cause if im not kissing distance that shit is inaccurate

[upper iron]

2 shot class 6

[upper iron]

I'll kiss you and show you baby

[olive turret]

i was shooting from one end of dorms tapping and it didnt hit a guy once

tapping

[cold yarrow]

whats the base recoil and lowest recoil though

[upper iron]

ash12 is some gang shit bro >:(

[cold yarrow]

damn the ps12b stats are kinda similar to the .366 ap-m

[upper iron]

🍆

[upper iron]

it does 102 DAMAGE

102

you can shoot someone in the legs and kill them

[cold yarrow]

except less penalties

whats 102 vs 90 damage to the thorax

[upper iron]

none they're both dead

[cold yarrow]

yea

[upper iron]

but its 12 more damage to limbs

[cold yarrow]

why would you shoot legs when you have thorax ammo

[upper iron]

Ash-12 has shit recoil tho

watch the video, you'll see xd

[unreal horizon]

just tap

ez

[cold yarrow]

like a stock AK 7.62 LOL

[upper iron]

=D

Even more

it has 122 recoil

with a silencer and like 114 with a compensator

[rich rose]

is this thing any good

[unreal horizon]

no

it's single fire 9x19, not a good combo at all

[upper iron]

Best thing to do with that is sell it to mechanic :]

[slow night]

it’s very fun to use imo tho

[unreal horizon]

agree completely

[cold yarrow]

well againt i get shit

fn 57

and a es lamp at dorms

[upper iron]

whoah hold up

5-7 is op af

[cold yarrow]

welp ran into duo killed one tho

[slow night]

yeah i fucking love the 5-7 i’ve used it so much this wipe while trying to save money

[cold yarrow]

fucking killed by fletchet

[slow night]

F

[cold yarrow]

no wonder died in 1 hit

t4 armor wont stop that

[cold yarrow]

uh, i want $ loot not trying to trash the 57

[rich rose]

can you get a mosin scope at any lvl 1 traders?

[unreal horizon]

yeah, prapor

[olive turret]

Is you pfp from that one weird anime

[rich rose]

yeah

[olive turret]

all i remember about it was

[rich rose]

lol, weird indeed

[rich rose]

i dont see any? individual scopes i mean

[umbral shoal]

Just found a bunch of this ammo in-raid. Im not really sure how good GS is

[upper iron]

T is shit ammo

gs isn't the ammo name

the letters before are

[umbral shoal]

Ah ok

[upper iron]

that is Tracer rounds and they're ass :D

gs is just the 5.45 caliber name

[unreal horizon]

PU 3.5x

prapor 1

[umbral shoal]

Ok. Had my hopes up that I gad decent ammo for a sec

[unreal horizon]

you can also link search the gun

[umbral shoal]

Ive looked before and I didnt see them

[rich rose]

ok but then i need a ring mount or something right?

[umbral shoal]

Yeah

[rich rose]

do any lvl 1 traders sell one for the mosin

[umbral shoal]

Prapor has a barter mosin

[unreal horizon]

should be 1, though the side mount is prapor 2 iirc

[umbral shoal]

With a scope and all

[rich rose]

well yes but i have none of that stuff

[coral pilot]

today?

[umbral shoal]

Yeah the barter is kinda crazy

[upper iron]

No ages ago

+20 recoil on SPP and +22 on BP

:(

[coral pilot]

oh ok

i was bout to be big sad

[upper iron]

Wym

Both ammos suck now you should be sad already

D:

[coral pilot]

ive been spamming vss/val with spp

[upper iron]

I literally cannot make those guns work to save my fucking life unless I am on labs

[coral pilot]

i love em lol shit melts bosses too

[upper iron]

too cheap for the effectiveness

but the recoil is bootyhole so

:)

[coral pilot]

ya the first half of the clip is all over the place

even sp6 is nutty for price

[upper iron]

sp6? we talking about spp, nice deflection bro

[coral pilot]

DEFLECTION

6 min scav reserve queue

bsg did me so dirty with the karma event

[keen night]

can I buy flash drives from the trader to complete the skeir quest?

[potent crater]

no

[coral pilot]

no must be found in raid

[potent crater]

has to be FIR

lol

[keen night]

damn..

thanks for the quick response! i just wanted to make sure before i spend 200k

[potent crater]

imo resrerve underground filing cabinet runs are best for it but im probably wrong

[coral pilot]

they are pretty rng and a lot of people have a tough time finding them for early quests

filing cabinets are ur best bet

• static spawns, check wiki for them

[keen night]

yeah I can see why, I dont know if I am chad enough to try reserve underground yet 🤣

[coral pilot]

go do it on a scav

[potent crater]

just wait it out

no one is gonna loot filing cabinets

at least in my experience

and i would bring a tri zip or bigger or a berekut with big rig

[keen night]

I tend to skip them too. Awesome advise, I appreciate it!

[slow night]

max level fence tab was selling anti-fragmentation glasses for 2k and ragman has a barter for 2 AF glasses to get a UN helmet that sells for 13k. stonks baby 💎 # getyourmoneyup # entrepreneur # sigma

[potent crater]

yah it might take a few raids to get one tho

[woeful sorrel]

no its a weird issue because i still get around the same fps on max graphics

[atomic knoll]

Filing cabinets, I would prefer to loot up on surface of reserve

[upper iron]

Please don't buy shit from fence bro

[atomic knoll]

Instead of underground

[slow night]

hmm, is it happening once you start playing or only toward the end of long sessions?

[upper iron]

Fence is the biggest scam in Tarkov, other than Tarkov scamming your sanity

[woeful sorrel]

pretty much all throughout

[slow night]

because the game always kinda goes to shit after you’ve been playing like 5h

[woeful sorrel]

https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/45455147

these are my specs

[slow night]

not sure then

[woeful sorrel]

it does get worse after a few raids but it is still quite unplayable for pvp

[keen night]

Lol! I never do! learned my lesson once when I saw a lvl 4 vest, for 60k and it was another 40k ro repair it. It sits in my inventory to hold mags until I get a mag/ammo crate. I thought the flash drives would be an acception

[woeful sorrel]

its mainly when someone shoots or a grenade goes off then my frames rlly drop

[sterile merlin]

would it be better to keep that m4 with those stats?

or should i switch to this?

[keen night]

Yeah, I do know the buildings around the helicopter has some good loot and lockers to check

[atomic knoll]

There's a total of like what, 6 filing cabinets there?

Too little

[icy quartz]

On reserve?

Try 40

[atomic knoll]

Around the chopper tho

Surface

There's only like 6 in those 4 buildings

[icy quartz]

Depends on if someone opened the armories

There are more in there

[atomic knoll]

U hit bishops

Both white and black

Then go white queen

[potent crater]

why is everyone selling grenade cases in euros

[keen night]

hmm. Yeah, I rarely run on reserve. I need to get used to the map more.

thanks for the pointer!

[atomic knoll]

In general, hit the top right hand corner of the map

[upper iron]

There are like 8-12 in each pawn without armories

school has like

12

[atomic knoll]

Just 2 buildings alone has 12 cabinets

White queen has 8

[upper iron]

Do I play with this guy who's never typed a message in the discord except "NA Chad lf to fill a server spot"

[atomic knoll]

9 if u have the key but u usually scav in for flash's drives

[upper iron]

or nah

[potent crater]

should i buy a marked key

dorms one

just hit it up and run away

im not a dorms chad

[umbral shoal]

Sus

Is whisky good to hold on to? I can sell it to Jaeger for 30k

[potent crater]

sell to therapist

[umbral shoal]

32.5k then

[potent crater]

yah

[umbral shoal]

I dont really get why therapist pays more for nearly everything

[potent crater]

its barter items

and meds

i thinkj

and food

[icy quartz]

Its for her "clients"

[potent crater]

i think she is really just using the morhpien

morphine

[umbral shoal]

Do I need it for a early quest?

If so ill hold onto it

[potent crater]

yah pretty eraly but only if it is FIR

[atomic knoll]

U need 5 FIR

[potent crater]

3

i think

[dreamy turtle]

8

[atomic knoll]

In total 8

[dreamy turtle]

4 for therapist 4 for pk

[potent crater]

who is PK

[olive turret]

P eace

K eeper

[umbral shoal]

Aight im selling then

[pliant citrus]

can some one with the flea market buy me a ammo case? I willpay

[umbral shoal]

I want that scav junkbox

[potent crater]

it would be cheaper to do barter from mechanic and i could give you the parts for the barter

if you have parts for the barter

[pliant citrus]

casn some one buy me the tradeables?

i have the green gpowder

[potent crater]

i can if you pay me slightly more than they costed

[pliant citrus]

ofc

howmuch?

[potent crater]

not sure

im in a raid rn

[pliant citrus]

accept the friend request

oh ok why you on the dc then???

[potent crater]

?

loading

[remote onyx]

What's the difference between op sks and regular sks?

[potent crater]

sight mount

[pliant citrus]

oh ok

[remote onyx]

Oh

Never realize op sks had a mount wtf

[pliant citrus]

can you dm me when you are ready

[potent crater]

it doesnt start with one but it can

[granite schooner]

can i add someone to a chat so you can help me wiht tarkov

[potent crater]

im so mad

but really just sad

i was fighting reshala with my friend and he died to a PMC so i had an sks with 20 spare rounds so i

was wlaking around new gas flanking them off and picking them off when i went in and killed reshala and a good

goon

but then i went out to the back and around to the mountain to flank the last one but i got my friends m4a1 and i shot at the last goon with full auto but it clicked out of ammo and he naded me so i ran to try and get away when he head shots me

;-;

[spark reef]

Best moment I've had as a new guy was flick shotting a guy at 122 meters w/ an SKS

And landing a head shot

[spark reef]

Tarkov Giveth, Tarkov Taketh (more)

[potent crater]

should i buy a magzine case

magazine

is an sks worth suppressing

[upper iron]

Is that celebi with a fucking sword

[potent crater]

?

[reef rampart]

I am new but i don't think i've seen anyone run a suppressed sks

[remote onyx]

Sks suppressors sell for 25k

[cobalt hare]

if you can suppress an sks, you can suppress an ak

[remote onyx]

So if you insure it you're probably not getting it back

[south lintel]

Where are all the guys spawns at interchange? Texho, tech light, idea registers, idea office, anywhere else?

[cobalt hare]

for roughly the same price the gun is more accurate, has better mags, full auto, can take scopes and much more

[remote onyx]

Ehh

Enhh

[south lintel]

I've ran so many interchange runs for gpu for the mission

[remote onyx]

Lucky for you

I have a gpu from interchange

[umbral shoal]

I know theres a quest for these knives.. ive just been collecting them. How many do I actually need?

[gritty wigeon]

can someone help me kill scavs on customs

[remote onyx]

From a really lucky scav run where the pmc that looted power station pc room forgot a gpu on the shelf

@south lintel

[barren tide]

I have the same problem buddy

[south lintel]

What?

[remote onyx]

I got a gpu i can sell you

[south lintel]

It needs to be found in raid. I need to find 3 for a mission

[umbral shoal]

Isn't it found in raid if he drops it for you?

[crisp nest]

no

[potent crater]

cant be brought into riad

raid

[crisp nest]

it can but

[umbral shoal]

Ah ok

[crisp nest]

its not fir

if u bring

[potent crater]

should i suppress my sks

[sly ruin]

Yes

[umbral shoal]

Eh

[umbral shoal]

Anyone have an answer for this btw?

[neat oak]

Are damaged Hard drives good for anything?

[sly ruin]

Only for crafting and hideout nothing more

[misty mortar]

8 total

[umbral shoal]

Thank you

[misty mortar]

np. just make sure its the brown 207 ones

[potent crater]

i would trade the brown ones for an mp5 to PK

[crisp nest]

yes

punisher

but they so common

u can get the ones needed in 2 raids

dont keep em

[potent crater]

is a suppressed sks with a sight the best sks i can make because it doesn't have a ton of modding capability?

[sly ruin]

Yes

And laser or flashlight

[potent crater]

hoiw

how

do i have to have a not woden version

[sly ruin]

Yes

[worn palm]

need 4 bloodset, anyone willing to sell or trade

[sly pond]

until later levels when you get the variant for the stock yes, an op-sks with a pso is the best

[sly ruin]

How much

[fierce glade]

labs anyone

[worn palm]

you tell me what u think they are worth

[rich rose]

what is this wait time

[mellow flame]

i had 12min ect before

also why did this event end on a weekend

-.-

[proven junco]

1st wipe here. I'm really struggling with PvP engagements and looking for tips or someone to help me get better. I fight fine against scavs and bosses. Just rarely seem to take down players.

[unkempt gulch]

wait to get a good shot off, you wont get good ammo until flea so make it count, if not, the recoil is not as bad as you think just spray

[fierce glade]

aiming is overrated close range

[errant jasper]

Do you lose fence rep for killing raiders as a scav?

[cunning swallow]

think there's a bug if u got max rep and kill them yea

[errant jasper]

but not max rep you cant right

[cunning swallow]

yea so just blast them

[young goblet]

do scavs have set spawns like pmcs?

[cunning swallow]

yea

[errant jasper]

ye

[cunning swallow]

but they're not guaranteed to spawn there

[young goblet]

cuz the second i spawned in i got headtapped by a pmc

[cunning swallow]

interchange or reserve?

[young goblet]

ic

how do you avoid that

[cunning swallow]

it really do be like that sometimes

knowing all spawn points n stuff helps

[young goblet]

but how does that help me

im not looking to camp scav spawns

im looking to not loose my scav cd instantly

[cunning swallow]

wait are u scav

[unkempt gulch]

dude, im in a bush and just saw two guys run past me, both with mp 133s and no armor, out of sake of not being a rat, i didnt shoot

[young goblet]

YEAH

[cunning swallow]

ah shit then there's nothing u can do

[young goblet]

the second i fucking spawned in i got tapped in the head

[cunning swallow]

happens

[late lantern]

anyone able to help me out with delivery from the past?

[young goblet]

is the pk06 still meta it seems worse this wipe

i never really used it anyway but

[merry dust]

It’s way worse

[drifting finch]

If I find a container like a med box or ammo box etc, in raid, would I be able to put that in my secure container or do I absolutely have to extract with it?

[young storm]

wont go in container

[drifting finch]

Thanks!

[tranquil plover]

If it could it would be OP af

[drifting finch]

So it’s probably best I save my marked key until I get better.

[young storm]

well it is cheap

for reserve

[tranquil plover]

But then again reserve marked room is pretty fucking hot

[young storm]

It is very hot

[tranquil plover]

Small map with marked room

[drifting finch]

I found the black pawn marked room key

[tranquil plover]

Recipe for hot room

[young storm]

thats the best one in my opinion

[tranquil plover]

Think custom dorm is the least hot IMO

[young storm]

customs one for me is the most toxic

[tranquil plover]

Lucky spawn and you are literally next to it

RIght next to V-Ex

[fervent swift]

Today I learned the secret to dorms

Saiga with ap20

Literally faceroll lmao

[tranquil plover]

Click head with FN

[young storm]

pkpm in basement of reserve is usually never opened but it is trash

and the most expensive reserve marked key

[tranquil plover]

Scam

[potent crater]

how can i put a sight on an mp5

[young storm]

Did they buff the other marked rooms tho?

[drifting finch]

@potent crater get the MFI mount from peacekeeper

[young storm]

last time I hit black pawn I got an ammo box, med case, and vpx

[potent crater]

what ll

[drifting finch]

@potent crater it’s called the MP5 MFI HK universal low profile scope mount. You can buy it from peacekeeper for $74

[potent crater]

yah i found it thanks

how can i get the stupid thing on the front to not block it

[drifting finch]

The front sight shouldn’t be an issue. He optics will be higher than the iron sights

[potent crater]

ok

[drifting finch]

If you get an Adar or a M4 you can buy a MK12 low profile gas block from mechanic

[potent crater]

yah i know about that one but not about mp5

and i got a dvl-10 should i use it for SBIH

[fervent swift]

I should give the orsis I found a shot

Should be aight for sbih getting killed by scav in the first 5 minutes

[potent crater]

should i buy a grenade case a mag case or a dorms marked key?

[fervent swift]

Do you have any cases already?

[tepid garnet]

What are some good strats against killa? He seems so much more aggressive than the other bosses.

Ive been doing offline raids to try to kill him but he wont let me catch my breath or reload

He just charges as soon as he spots me

[young goblet]

anyone got any good 74uasbsc whatever builds

punisher is really hurtin me

man shouldve died

but its a shit gun with shit optics shit recoil and i dont have good ammo for it

also pk06 is trash

so floaty and the dot is way bigger

[fervent swift]

Punisher 3?

[young goblet]

yeah

how can i make this gun usable

it wont even take the scope i wanna run on it

head top of head too

if i had a helmet i wouldve been fine

[umbral shoal]

Is this good ammo? Found it as a scav and didn't really recognize the AP

[cunning mural]

let me link you an ammo chart i came across

[umbral shoal]

Sounds good

[cunning mural]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jjWcIue0_PCsbLQAiL5VrIulPK8SzM5jjiCMx9zUuvE/htmlview#gid=64053005

for anyone who wants, provides breakdown and armor penetration stats

[distant pilot]

is easy scav karma already done?

[potent crater]

yah i have 2 junk boxes a dogtag case a med case an ammo case and a pistol case

[umbral shoal]

Thank you

[potent crater]

yah sadly

[distant pilot]

welp shit only 0.26 here

[potent crater]

yah atleast each evac now is a bit of karma

[distant pilot]

what are the numbers?

[potent crater]

0.01 per evac

[distant pilot]

and it was 0.1?

[umbral shoal]

Holy- ok

That ammo is pretty good

[tepid garnet]

Anyone have killa strats?

[umbral shoal]

Basically penetrates all armor at peak

[cunning mural]

👍

[fervent swift]

I'd get the mag case then

It'll be the most useful rn

Or just full send it on the dorms key and gamble everything away

[potent crater]

idk dorms key is only 400k and a docs case is 300k ish so woooooorth

but yah ill get case

[fervent swift]

Oh def get docs if you dont have it

But check how close your barter is

[young goblet]

fuck me i really cant with this gun

does anyone have a better build

[potent crater]

no way in hell am i buying a bronze lion and cat

[young goblet]

why do people have so many junkboxes

[fervent swift]

We have a lot of junk

[potent crater]

why do i hvae so many barter items

[young goblet]

imo when you fill up your JB you sell it not buy another one

[fervent swift]

Everything is needed

[potent crater]

well imo you are wrong

[young goblet]

not everything

[fervent swift]

You collect future quest items and mats for hideout

[young goblet]

and most things are needed early in wipe

like you shouldnt be collecting bulbs and shit anymore

so you dont need space for them

also yall complain about buying a cat statue to get docs case, you spent 1.3 mil on a second junkbox

[potent crater]

1.1

[potent crater]

and no its the bronze lion really

[young goblet]

still thats only like 200k

[potent crater]

380k or so

300k

[young goblet]

more than 1/4 of the price of junkbox

[potent crater]

not 380

yah but that is for something small that holds keys and shit instead of 196 tiles of junk

[young goblet]

yeah but keys are actually worth money

junk isnt

[potent crater]

yaaah you have the wrong junk

[fervent swift]

That's why you always have a wiki tab open so you can check what you need

[young goblet]

yeah but you only need like 1/4 of the shit you find

[fervent swift]

It also depends on what it is, caps? wires? tape?

That's easy to find

Nah you need most of the junk at some point

But if it's for quest you get at 45 then it's not a high priority

[young goblet]

yeah but no quest requires 100+ barter items to complete

[potent crater]

bruh

hideout stuff too

and waiting for flea

[young goblet]

the average quest costs like 4 items

[fervent swift]

Bruh

[potent crater]

h i d e o u t

[young goblet]

and hideout stuff is easy to get

[potent crater]

bruh

[bold kernel]

i'm level 13, almost 14 i'm so close to level 2 tradersss

[fervent swift]

Someone hasnt done farming nor fixed the lights in hideout

[young goblet]

oc you might need a ledx

[fervent swift]

And it shows

So damn many light bulbs

[young goblet]

i got lights like two weeks into wipe

its the easiest one

[potent crater]

with ap 6.3 should i aim for head?

[potent crater]

what about FUCKIGN STORAGE?

[young goblet]

if your aiming for head you dont need ap

[potent crater]

what should i do with my college down payment of ap?

[young goblet]

unless ur on like factory

[potent crater]

should i run factory then?

and what do i do with my AP then

[fervent swift]

Nobody said it's hard, it just requires a lot of mats

Which you can store in a junk box

[young goblet]

but not 128 items

so you still dont need a second one

[potent crater]

WHAT DO I DO WITH MY AP?

[young goblet]

how much do you have

[potent crater]

uhhh 110 rounds across all my mags

[young goblet]

so you have 1 reload

[fervent swift]

It's better to have an extra case and not need it than to need one and not have it

[young goblet]

yeah but thats an extra mill

[potent crater]

nope an mp5 drum and 2 30 rounders

[young goblet]

but most people run drums

[fervent swift]

Shoot them, spray their upperbody and head area

[young goblet]

so you have 2 reloads

[fervent swift]

1 mil aint much tbh

It's too easy to get money

[potent crater]

my bank account would disagree ;-;

[young goblet]

yeah but you can just buy the extra barter items for 1 mil

and it would save you time

[fervent swift]

FIR

[potent crater]

at least i get the satisfaction of having all the cases

[young goblet]

im not arguing that you need a junkbox they are important

[potent crater]

dont they like down the ergo alot tho? are they worth

[young goblet]

im just saying 2 is excessive

[young goblet]

with the fire rate

[potent crater]

not for how i horde loot

[young goblet]

so thats why you are poor

[potent crater]

i dont think i spelled that right

[young goblet]

cuz u horde

you would have a lot more money if you sold shit

[potent crater]

no i bought a ton of shit today

[fervent swift]

You get two, dump everything in them, high value in one, misc in the other, when they're full you sort them out

[potent crater]

today was my first day with dlea

*flea

[young goblet]

look i made it to thicc case just fine

1 ledx and ill have it

[potent crater]

what helmets are good?

[fervent swift]

Good job, congratulations

[young goblet]

i did upgrade my stash tho

[young goblet]

depends on map

[potent crater]

i didnt mean to hit upgrade because i was on the fence about it but i accidentally did today so its upgrading now

[potent crater]

i mean like what helmets are good because some seem good but muffle hearing

[fervent swift]

Honestly some times helmets feels like a waste of money, but once in a while you get your bell rung and you're thankful for it

[potent crater]

so spray upper area with ap?

[young goblet]

you dont have to use the ap

if you arnt sure abt it just sell it

[fervent swift]

I like Ulach

[young goblet]

if you dont wanna go for chest shots by RIP

[fervent swift]

4 armor, high ricochet, covers ears while allowing headphones

[potent crater]

of course i get a gltich where i cant fire or change guns

of fucking course

[young goblet]

not that i do this i still main rat helmet

but if u arnt getting a class 4 or higher just go for ricochet chance

like the fake FAST MT is still good cuz of ricochet

this is like my 5th scav run on interchange looking for fcond

i accidentally sold my FIR Fcond instead of the ones i scooped up from some people trading on factory

[umbral shoal]

Ngl i regret selling my rip ammo. Would have been so fun to shred some people on factory

[meager totem]

@young goblet i'm scavving as well if you wanna run duo to increase your chance let me know

i'll drop one if i find it

[old helm]

can anyone help me learn the game lol

[royal belfry]

huh i repaired my altyn mask but its still cracked

[upper iron]

Yeah

It never fully repairs it

you need a new one

The crack doesn't mean it's weaker or anything, it just means that you are half blind or something

[fair bison]

So how common is it that player scavs attack other scavs? I thought that was the whole point of the karma thing.

[upper iron]

We recently had an event where I'd say quite a large population of player scavs got 6+ rep quite easily

[royal belfry]

oh no nvm

i went into an offline raid and it went back to normal

[upper iron]

I haven't died to player scavs in a little while

[upper iron]

Weird I didn't know repairing it fixed the crack now?

[fair bison]

I have a hard enough time even identifying scav vs pmcs, it's not helpful to have to wonder if that even matters. Makes newbies more susceptible to negative karma than anyone else.

[royal belfry]

finally experiencing the chad lifestyle

to do punisher part 6

[upper iron]

It's always rough at the start. You NORMALLY won't run into PMCs are a player scav unless you're on Reserve

Because you'll load in pretty late on most maps

[royal belfry]

my first opponent was a guy with a fully kitted out mk47 with a slick

for some reason he only had ps ammo in it

[upper iron]

:)

[royal belfry]

seems like a waste tbh

not complaining though

[upper iron]

What was it someone said to me before

TheY Can PlaY HowEvER TheY WanT

[fair bison]

@upper iron Yeah, that's why I usually get stomped immediately is because I don't expect them. Just #feelsbad when you get the loots you want and another scav shows up and just opens fire.

[upper iron]

Not really a regular thing, at least I have only died a few times to pscavs :D

[fair bison]

Meh, I just need to go play something else, all I'm doing is bleeding money dollars on the ground to people

[waxen plover]

What's a good way to get to level 20 in a decent time I kinda want to avoid the woods quests

[icy quartz]

You need to do woods quests

Its how you level up jaeger

[terse osprey]

anybody down to help me with reserve tasks

i dont know the map too well

[icy quartz]

Well if your doing prapors task you are probably fucked

As I have found out THERE IS A FUCKING MARKED ROOM RIGHT NEXT TO THE OBJECTIVE

[terse osprey]

yup

ik that part lol

[icy quartz]

And if your looking for a tank battery you are extra fucked

Those things weigh 42kg

And if your trying to kill scavs in the food tunnel I havent even seen any yet

Trying to run rng tasks is a pain

[tired prairie]

https://prnt.sc/1p0d094

am i missing something ? gunsmith part 2

[fair bison]

Has to be 6 squares total

[icy quartz]

Fold the stock

[fair bison]

Fold the stock

But that may put your recoil too high again

[tired prairie]

thanks\

[bold kernel]

best map for money runs pre-20?

[icy quartz]

Customs and interchange usually

Reserve if your feeling brave

[pulsar compass]

killing raiders on reserves will give u decent gear n weapons

[tranquil plover]

I am desperate for Jaeger 2

what is a good item to buy and resell to jaeger to get around 600k spent

I do not have flea since I am only lv15

[young goblet]

Is it even worth wearing headphones

[tranquil plover]

Headphone lets you hear things alot better

[young goblet]

this is the second time i have heard someone sprinting behind me but it turns out hes in front of me

i was pushing 014 and didnt here the dude come up the stairs

[young storm]

audio is trash in this game especially stairways

[bold kernel]

YES. Makes the world of a difference. It's basically the advantage when Black Ops 2 came out and people started buying turtle beaches to hear footsteps, is a must for an advantage in hearing

[upbeat basin]

Check your audio settings (in your actual PC setting, not the game) and make sure the L/R volume balance is equal. Maybe its just my laptop but sometimes it goes 1 or 2 notches either way and totally fucks me up

[young goblet]

any in game tips for audio

i have areally good sound setup

i like to do a lot of stuff with audio

so all my levels are fine tuned

[sharp parcel]

In Tarkov won’t work

Different headsets IN the game make your audio completely different

You need a headset IRL

[young goblet]

well oc i have a headset irl

i was wondering if maybe there are certain headsets in tarkov that are bugged

or maybe if there is some weird setting in tarkov that makes sound less consistent

[hard ginkgo]

just got lvl 20 what armour should i run>

[sharp parcel]

@young goblet None of the headsets are bugged. They all have advantages.

[young goblet]

so when you hear people in the wrong spots is that just the game in general

[sinful roost]

Pretty much

[hard ginkgo]

been awaiting session start for 9 min

😭

[minor rain]

where do i find morphine injectors at? just like med bags and med crates or is there a faster way?

[tired prairie]

i found mine killing scavs on factory if that helps ;D

[hard ginkgo]

crack house

[minor rain]

partially the only problem is everytime i make a kit i get smoked by some level 5 armour wearing chad wielding a 300k rouble gun

[carmine gust]

If you feel ballsy the scav boss guys normally carry em

[minor rain]

crack house is probably the better alternitive

[hard ginkgo]

this game is so shit

was in queue with my scav for 10m

then got server disconnect

then it used my scav

cool...

[tired prairie]

scav shouldn't take more than 2 mins , if it does just restart maybe

[hard ginkgo]

too late

got to wait 20m for another scav

[sinful roost]

On reserve?

I always get 6-10 minute waits to scav into reserve

[charred crescent]

matching is normal,if ur awaiting session start for more than a minute just alt f4 and join the game back

[charred crescent]

it can lol

[tired prairie]

didnot know , mb

[charred crescent]

can take up to 20min on reserve

on peak hours

[tired prairie]

why tho , aren't you already joining a started match ?

[strong barn]

everyone and their moms grandma is scavving reserve

so despite their being x games available and started
theres x^69 scav players waiting for a slot at any given moment
thus~~6-20min scav timer for reserve

[charred crescent]

you are, but half of pscavs want to go reserve so u take a long time to find a match with available space

[worldly rivet]

GG

died with full reshala loot

sadge

died to a someone called literally downsyndrome

[strong barn]

life has its ups; but you got the downs :(

[grim reef]

Tarkov'd

[charred crescent]

"full reshala loot" lol

[worldly rivet]

yeah

[charred crescent]

u only killed half the guards wtf

[worldly rivet]

4 guns, altyn

there were no more guards

[charred crescent]

legit 2 more alive

[worldly rivet]

i ran into them in the middle of the forest

[charred crescent]

near gas station ?

[worldly rivet]

yeah

[strong barn]

probs other 2 were killed by some other guy and he died to the remainder

[worldly rivet]

nah dude this was just as i spawned

i was sprinting to gas

[charred crescent]

theres always 4 guards tho

[worldly rivet]

3 of them in the bushes

[strong barn]

they be hidinnggg

[worldly rivet]

killed all 3

[strong barn]

there is 4 guards and reshala

[worldly rivet]

they didnt shoot at me? tf

[charred crescent]

and btw why do u loot guns ?

"4 guns and altyn"

[worldly rivet]

because i dont have market

and the TT

[charred crescent]

u better just take the mags and attachments

[strong barn]

some of the parts on their guns are 30k+ a part; ups your flea rep selling it

[charred crescent]

u could have taken way more loot

anyway sadly u died

[strong barn]

technically he didnt get any loot because he died 🤷

so what difference does it make if he took the guns or not 🤣

[worldly rivet]

true, but also

i was willing to throw the whole guns away if i found anything else

i just got sprayed down before i could even do anything

[strong barn]

it happens :( good job killing those guys tho

[worldly rivet]

they died really easily, i was surprised

i was using PS

[charred crescent]

yeah but u should only loot attachments and ammo if its good ammo @worldly rivet

[worldly rivet]

it was great ammo

m856a1

sadness

[charred crescent]

yeah reshala is dogshit and they barely have armor

[charred crescent]

thats decent not great

856a1 barely pens class 4

[worldly rivet]

it's great for me

better than what i can buy

cant even get BP for 7.62

i'm stuck with the crippling PS

[charred crescent]

ps is decent

for 7.62

[worldly rivet]

what's the usual pre-flea setup

do people just run a scoped sks like I do?

or a mosin i guess

[tired prairie]

guys do i need a whiskey in future quests or do i sell it ?

[worldly rivet]

you dont need it for quests

you can trade it for some stuff on like ll2 pk

the rest is mostly ll4 so

[tired prairie]

alright thanks

[charred crescent]

wiki sir

[tired prairie]

yea that's way better thanks

[green garden]

Looking for a buddy to play with, I've plaayed EFT a bit but never gotten into it deep. Im from belgium 26y/o. Pretty experienced gamer overall. Looking for someone to learn the game and get into it

Just PM me if interested! 🙂

[young storm]

Well I had to upgrade my headset from Astro A10s because they didn’t have good directional sound. I use Sennheisers with a mix amp but my friends use A50s and love them. In the game I stick to one headset the whole wipe. This wipe I use M32 that u can buy from Skier.

[bold kernel]

im level 11 looking to find a sherpa for a couple of runs to give me advise.

[minor rain]

for the find morphine injectors task for therapist do i have to extract or can i just put them in my pouch? i put one in my pouch but its not letting me turn it in

[bold kernel]

did you survive that raid?

[autumn pilot]

yo im on my first ever run and idk where tf i am

welp i died lmao

[minor rain]

no i died

[bold kernel]

if you died and it was in your pouch im pretty sure it loses the found in raid status

[minor rain]

do offline for a while learn maps and also id recomend doing pistol runs to learn spawns and save your money

[minor rain]

damn that sucks cause im a shitter and die almost every raid

rocking with that 17% surivival rate

[autumn pilot]

kk

[bold kernel]

morphine isn’t too hard to find tho

can also be crafted

[minor rain]

i have to find them in raid to even turn them in

[bold kernel]

yeah, must be found in raid

[minor rain]

whats the best map to find them in

out of customs factory and interchange

only 3 maps i know

[bold kernel]

random scavs on factory can spawn with it, crack house on customs i think, and i know the medical spots on interchange obviously

[atomic knoll]

Interchange, try mantis

[fervent swift]

Crafted items gets fir status

[autumn pilot]

is there any way to change the reduced sens while sprinting or nah

[atomic knoll]

If the guy can craft morphines

Also easier if u have access to flea

[quartz tiger]

I'm thinking about using the pp-19 more as a budget gun when i wanna be a interchange rat or do quests, but i see the ammo pen is only 30 and damage is only 52, on AP 6.3? Is this something you would recommend using or nah?

[charred crescent]

pooooog

[charred crescent]

aim head, pp19 has no recoil so its ez

[quartz tiger]

Ok cool

[atomic knoll]

Personally, I would prefer a shotgun

[quartz tiger]

look at this beauty tho

[sinful roost]

Best budget gun is mp153 + magnum buckshot

[atomic knoll]

Prefer express

But pick whichever you prefer

[sick flint]

Can I barter a used rb marked keys for a full health marked dorms key?

[surreal goblet]

Probably not, the equitable value is lower for Reserve marked keys compared to the Dorms one iirc.

[lusty pagoda]

yes

dorms is the best marked key in the game

im pretty sure

[sick flint]

Yea I know that but Jaeger has a barter of 1 of each other marked key for a dorms key

[strong barn]

jaegar has a barter that is just that
you can use a 1 use reserve RB-BK key; an RB-VO with 1 use and the pkpm with 1 use to trade and a get a 25 use customs marked key

[sick flint]

Ok thanks that's what I was needing to know

[serene remnant]

best ammo for op sks at lvl 13?

Hey folks, i am not exactly a beginner just a solo player, lvl17 and i still havent found the portable bunkhouse key for the Bad Rep Evidence task... could someone help me out? willing to pay above flea market value plus something for your time. I could also use some (7) m67 grenades to get my Prapor rep back up to lvl2. Willing to pay a premium for those as well.

i apologize if this is the wrong forum to ask this

[ionic depot]
