[crisp nest]

cheating mfs want that 100k

[hard tangle]

so just sell tettris

[gray notch]

pretty much

you can get lucky and get a trade in, but the margin kinda small

[hard tangle]

i waited 3 resets today and i refreshed was always out of stock thought was a bug or just a limit

[gray notch]

could be that your refresh time isnt accurate

i suggest checking the barter on the flea

that way you know when it actually restocks

[hard tangle]

i try that next

[gray notch]

the time on the traders isnt accurate for some reason

[hard tangle]

if not sell it is

[gray notch]

gl 🙂

[crisp nest]

yeah

sell the green bat on flea tho

[gray notch]

you can sell tetriz on flea too

good for rep

[crisp nest]

yeah

[velvet blade]

how can I know exactly what the SSh helmet blocks? Wiki doesn't have these infos it just says "doesn't block earwear"

I tried a GSSh and it worked, M32 doesn't

[elfin pendant]

the smugglers boat extract on customs disappears after someone uses it? i never see it open late into the raid but ruaf seems to be open regardless of the time

[lusty glacier]

the m32 blocks the helmet, not the other way around

[velvet blade]

it doesn't

[crisp nest]

literally only m32

lol

[velvet blade]

well what's better in terms of ambient reduction, ComTac3 or M32?

[crisp nest]

comtac quieter

idk what ambient reduction is lol

[velvet blade]

wind sound, raid, the sound of nature

[cosmic tinsel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntOj4KrABJ0

heres an ear test for you

[velvet blade]

welp I know this video, thought I'd get a faster answer :c

[strong barn]

use your ears; its like music
only you know what you like 4head

[cosmic tinsel]

you want us to tell you what you prefer?

i use comtacs

they're the best

you like them the best too

[crisp nest]

no

[cosmic tinsel]

[crisp nest]

trash

[cosmic tinsel]

^my point 😄

[lusty glacier]

comtacs are the best

[crisp nest]

[lusty glacier]

2 to 1, so we are right

[crisp nest]

[velvet blade]

well that's why I asked about a specific feature about the earpiece XD the ambient sound reduction

[crisp nest]

what is that lol

[cosmic tinsel]

none do that explicitly

they adjust various volumes of the response curve

i find sordins make me feel like im in too quiet of a room

maybe you'll like that

[lusty glacier]

b a s s

[cosmic tinsel]

i cant stand em lol

[velvet blade]

even veritas said it himself, ambient volume reduction KEKW

[strong barn]

non of them make me feel like a hard bass russian gopnik

[crisp nest]

veritas should get good and use gssh

[lusty glacier]

what is good about gssh

i cant hear my friends when im walking

[cosmic tinsel]

lmao

[crisp nest]

thats the point

its so loud

[lusty glacier]

doesnt bakeezy use it?

[velvet blade]

gssh is a solo earpiece IMO

[crisp nest]

i think he uses gssh/m32

[lusty glacier]

idk how people play solo

idk if im scared of solo or just rather play as a team

[cosmic tinsel]

solo is so much easier for me

[long salmon]

this pistol kills on pmcs is honestly really hard. what pistol/ ammo should i be using?

[cosmic tinsel]

not having to maintain formation/location on people

not having to IFF

[velvet blade]

playing solo requires brain, I usually let teams pass without confronting them, and move from cover to cover silently doing my quests/objectives

I contact with easy targets, or when I have an upper hand

[lusty glacier]

i have improved a lot in this game so i gained more confidence thanks to meevo raising me well in this #beginners-assistance channel

[long salmon]

Same tbh

[velvet blade]

father evo-senpai

[lusty glacier]

whenever i play in a duo it feels like either i am leading or they are leading, and i feel like im noob when im not leading

[cosmic tinsel]

im glad!

[potent crater]

how do i get money faster? I am not like mega poor i just wnat to be able to buy pricy stuff

[velvet blade]

all these months I thought he was meevo as in mivo, turns out it's me evo

[long salmon]

i love when im not leading

[cosmic tinsel]

dont let erv1s know i used a weeb emote lol

[lusty glacier]

i want military tictacs not following someone

tactics

[cosmic tinsel]

my name used to be call me evo, but spaces were banned in a lot of games, and i hated how long it was, and my friends called me meevo for a bit, so i just adopted it

[long salmon]

Scav/PMC interchange and loot the food isles and sell to therapist or jager

[gray geyser]

The weekends are a sellers market time to sell to the casuals

[potent crater]

should i avoid PVP?

[cosmic tinsel]

100%

[crisp nest]

yes meev is ver gud

[crisp nest]

heelo men

[cosmic tinsel]

nooo i subtweet you how you find me

[lusty glacier]

does bakeezy just switch fire mode to calm himself down?

like every 2 seconds

[crisp nest]

he does that to look cool

[gray geyser]

Goshan is low key op most consistent item spawn in game

[cosmic tinsel]

i do it to convince myself im on the right fire mode

its sorta the "did i leave the oven on"

[crisp nest]

he was spam voicelining in twitch rivals tourney

lol

[gray geyser]

When in doubt chk that fire mode

[crisp nest]

too kool for skool

yes

[gray geyser]

I die too many times to not checking

[lusty glacier]

i died once to that

[crisp nest]

i check my laser a lot

[lusty glacier]

at the start of a factory run

[crisp nest]

to see if im on IR or off

[long salmon]

i always avoid pvp in this game xD

[lusty glacier]

i was wondering if i had saiga-9 instead of pp-19

[gray geyser]

Ok WHAT is the secret to toggling laser and light

I want to keep laser on toggle light

[crisp nest]

what

[gray geyser]

Is that possible

[steep pasture]

What do i do if im stuck in "awaiting session to start"
its been 20 min already

[crisp nest]

alt f4

re open

[lusty glacier]

that would be too convenient

[crisp nest]

reconnect

[gray geyser]

Laser and flashlight toggling how do u do it ?

[crisp nest]

ctrl t

you cycle thru

[gray geyser]

I must be derping it

I want my laser on but my flash light to toggle

[crisp nest]

idk

[gray geyser]

I can cycle but I don’t know wtf I’m doing wrong

[viscid river]

yo if anyone wants to do some raids together with me and my friend just hit us up

[gray geyser]

These casuals are buying bolts for 24999

Time to sell bois

[unkempt gulch]

dude i wanted to build my water collector i have no bolts or nuts, and theyre soooo much

[proud plinth]

Im tired of playing customs

[gray geyser]

Just wait till tomorrow prices sky rocket on the weekend

[potent crater]

is murder good for making money?

[gray geyser]

Our just farm them I guess

[cosmic tinsel]

its good for saving you money on kits

which is a lot like making money, but not exactly like making money

[potent crater]

wiat is that true?

[long salmon]

Only if youre good at it

[gray geyser]

Ummm I’m farming factory / factory scavs this wipe

[gray geyser]

It tends to be so cause of all the players on weekends

Supply and demand 😎

[potent crater]

tip look for streamer items on flea and a lot of them are placed slightly lower than they go to therapist for

[proud plinth]

Last salewa being produced now lol

[gray geyser]

Farm during the week, sell to casuals on weekends

[lusty glacier]

how to bunny hop like bakeezy?

[gray geyser]

Jump on the third step or something

[sudden solstice]

I've just played a scav raid on interchange and met this ultra super duper friendly player scav. He signaled me to follow him so I did, lead me to some loot and stuff, and when we were next to the extract, he dropped all his gear and extracted! - I hate him and love him at the same time.
Basically everything except the fuel tank and SV-98 is from him

[gray geyser]

Also STR

[potent crater]

what is that

[lusty glacier]

https://youtu.be/Yfo5bZTILso?t=1024

timestamped

[cosmic tinsel]

you jump further off one foot than the other, is the punchline

[gray geyser]

Car battery is gold, but he prob was hi lvl and didn’t need that stuff

[umbral shoal]

Where is Goshan? I've been hearing abt it

[lusty glacier]

i know how it works, i just dont know how to do it consistently

[velvet blade]

WTF this doesn't happen

[gray geyser]

Grocery store back center of interchange mall

[potent crater]

what servers are you on

[cosmic tinsel]

there are three big department stores in the mall. on the left is idea, the right is oli, and center back is goshan. looks sorta like TOWAH in cyrillic

[gray geyser]

Yes it does ppl get bored and just want to vibe

[sudden solstice]

yeah probably but like - I even shot a warning shot near him bc although I am level 12 I dont need all that stuff really

[umbral shoal]

Aight

[sudden solstice]

should I use the car battery for the ventilations 2 or save it for something else?

[gray geyser]

Scavs just wanna vibe u know ? 😎

[umbral shoal]

I never run interchange so it makes sense I don't know where it is

[gray geyser]

QUEST

[sudden solstice]

yeah I certainly do

[lusty glacier]

save the car battery for the rapist's quest to get 4 of them

[sudden solstice]

ok ty

well

[gray geyser]

In raid battery is quest

[sudden solstice]

ok ok

[lusty glacier]

its uncommon

[potent crater]

@umbral shoal what servers are you on

[gray geyser]

That car battery was the bane of my early wipe

[sudden solstice]

yeah this is the first time I found one

[umbral shoal]

Idk

[gray geyser]

Car battery ptsd

[potent crater]

what state or country are you in?

[umbral shoal]

Indiana

US

[potent crater]

ok so like NA

do you wnat to run customs some itme

time

[umbral shoal]

Yeah maybe.

[potent crater]

are BP worth running in an sks with a sight and suppressor?

[heady crown]

That's F'n awesome! My only great experience was a player scav helped me kill a pmc and then helped me with heals til I made extract or I would have died.

[umbral shoal]

In 3 days ive played 25 hours

[opal brook]

Can someone drop me a 60 round mag, i need it for a task

[potent crater]

cant do it because it needs to be FIR

[opal brook]

need it for gunsmith

[potent crater]

get lav 2 and craft them

[umbral shoal]

^^^

[opal brook]

[potent crater]

OH

uhh could you pay

[opal brook]

im lvl 18 and still havent found one

[sudden solstice]

nice

I hate him

for being too nice

I have almost full inventory, whilst being lvl 12

[potent crater]

can any one give me tips for SBIH and should i do it at lvl 20

[sudden solstice]

and I have like 3.6M

[potent crater]

should i get a dorms marked key if im at 1.4 mil and not a chad at all

[cosmic tinsel]

no

you could do reserve marked rooms, they're a lot cheaper

[potent crater]

i have one

[cosmic tinsel]

you only would want rb-bk and rb-vo. pkpm is a scam

[potent crater]

rb-bk

i dont like reserve PMC tho

vo was fucking 40k? WHAT THE HELL?

[sudden solstice]

maybe.. I am a rat..

bc I'm too scared to play as PMC

[cosmic tinsel]

they're stupid profitable

[potent crater]

shouldi i but like 9 of them

[cosmic tinsel]

how many times you think you're gonna open it in a raid? 😉

[potent crater]

9 x 25

[cosmic tinsel]

hahahaha

[potent crater]

I bought one extra key

[cosmic tinsel]

i'd stick with one. the prices should stay consistent

yeah

[potent crater]

but i really need a docs case or really keyrool

[potent crater]

yah they might not tho which would be very sad

is vo barracks area near train

[cosmic tinsel]

ya

[potent crater]

ok

so it would be kinda hard to go VO then BK

how could i get a keytool

[cosmic tinsel]

you could find one in vo or bk lol

[bold kernel]

little donations for a homeless man

[potent crater]

but i wanted a keytool to store those keys ;-;

are people in reserve chads?

[broken venture]

Hello there. I found a Wooden Statue in Customs, inside the Medical building. Does anyone know what practical use it has (if any), or if it should be sold to a specific vendor?

[coarse mango]

any other lvl 1's out there wanna squad up?

[potent crater]

im 20 can i play

[coarse mango]

if u dont mind me being lvl 1

[potent crater]

yah idk

idc

not idk

[cosmic tinsel]

sometimes

[coarse mango]

what chat u in?@potent crater

[potent crater]

should i run BP in my suppressed sks with a sight? no one answers me

[potent crater]

im not in one

and wait what servers are you

on

[cosmic tinsel]

theres a few statues. they're mostly worthless, except for a certain quest

[cosmic tinsel]

if you wanna

its not too good to use, it is moderately expensive

[coarse mango]

NA

[broken venture]

Thank you very much, meevo.

[elfin pendant]

u cant put laser or flashlighjt on rfb?

[potent crater]

ok can i call you i dont like the chat rooms if not that is fine because they say it isnt reccomended

[coarse mango]

yea

[cosmic tinsel]

no. you could do this tho

[potent crater]

i normally run PS is that ok or should i get slightly better

[cosmic tinsel]

ps is fine

[potent crater]

wai

t

bp is the only other upgrade besides like some ap thing lol

[cosmic tinsel]

yup

[potent crater]

what armor is worth running

[cosmic tinsel]

6b3tm

[potent crater]

what about rig spcae tho

i normally use bigger rigs i dont see it being a huge problem tho

[cosmic tinsel]

you can pay more and get more

i usually just use backpacks i find in raid anyway

im not a huge BRING A TON OF SPACE guy

[potent crater]

what is the actual chance for high ricochet chance?

[cosmic tinsel]

bullet dependent

apparently

also angle dependent

[potent crater]

how the hell do they make that work

[cosmic tinsel]

ricochet at the bottom. what that really means, no idea

[potent crater]

what are the rules on tk? I dont plan on it but i play with a lot of people and surprised no one has tk'ed yet

[stone nacelle]

Hey guys what key is used at the little shack next to car jump on customs

[cosmic tinsel]

you get banned if you do it in this server

[cosmic tinsel]

factory exit key

[stone nacelle]

Ty also love the pfp live,laugh,and loot

[cosmic tinsel]

thanks fam. i usually rotate mma pics but there were no fights i was passionate about this weekend

[stone nacelle]

Lol it’s pretty good

[regal bridge]

how do i fix this error?

[frosty compass]

anyone not new trying to do meme factory runs with low gear? EU and 18+ ideally

[cosmic tinsel]

try #community-support

[regal bridge]

alright,thanks.

[quiet arrow]

anyone want to show a noob the ways to the game?>

[bold kernel]

.

[livid saffron]

is m856a1 ammo good?

[velvet blade]

finally, after a long time, I hereby declare myself a level 20 flee-marketer 😄

time to yeet hideout upgrades

[opal brook]

yes

its 3rd best

but its also a tracer

[wet python]

So I’m lvl 7 now

Over 1 mil in cash

[opal brook]

nice

[wet python]

And I have no idea what I’m doing

Lol

[opal brook]

do task

[wet python]

Just doing tasks and stash runs

Looting where I can

Looking shit up in wiki and if it is not a quest item, I sell it

[opal brook]

just focus task honestly

[wet python]

Ok

[opal brook]

stash runs arent as important withount flee

its good to keep a stable cash flow

[wet python]

Gotcha

[little turret]

chemical part 4 question

who should i turn it into?

does it really matter in the long run

[opal brook]

no

[wet python]

I’m just running sks as well

[opal brook]

sks is an amazing weapon early wipe

[wet python]

Yeah it is solid

But not sure what to do with other weapons

[opal brook]

wdym by other weapons

[wet python]

I have an ak 74u

A veo hunter

Vpo

[opal brook]

For the AK series, just remember BT, BP, and BS for ammo

[wet python]

Forget my third

[opal brook]

anything is is mid

[wet python]

Gotcha

[opal brook]

and "igolnik" is the best

but BT and BP are what your probably gonna find the most

[wet python]

BT and BP are being sold at my level right?

[merry dust]

Tbh nope

Bs is better to me

cause igolnik has 0 flesh damage to me

[lament vector]

how much should i sell AP magnum or?

[opal brook]

at higher levels where the "best" ammo is warranted, igolnik is better

[merry dust]

10k a piece

[opal brook]

the difference is minimal

its a 3 damage difference

between Igolnik and BS

[merry dust]

3 damage is huge

[opal brook]

😋

[cosmic tinsel]

It matters for pve headshots, mostly

[wet python]

How long should I use sks

Also dying to put a scope on it

I think only the op sks has it

[umbral shoal]

Just did a good hit and run as my pmc. I killed a ai scav down near the military camp and found my first ever pilgrim.

[wet python]

Man I had a scoped mosin and pilgrim scav and died

Was furious

[brazen atlas]

Anyone wanna roll with a mute?

[grim spoke]

Anyone got the ammo chart? link dm me please or post in here

[cosmic tinsel]

!wiki ballistics

[broken quail]

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

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Ballistics

Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.

[velvet blade]

before I begin doing gunsmith 4, is the wiki accurate or shall I follow another guide? I've seen tens of people complain about this quest

[cosmic tinsel]

its fixed

the wiki will pretty much never be the cheapest

but it'll work

[velvet blade]

oh there's cheaper alternatives?

is it the alternative build tab in the same page?

[warm karma]

hello i am not in my house right now and ive wanted to ask can you pay for an barter offer on flea with non FIR item?

if someone sells something can i pay with something that is not FIR

[rough scarab]

has to be fir

[warm karma]

both things

??

[pure mist]

yes

[rough scarab]

YES

oops sory caps

[warm karma]

ok thanj you

very unluckh

[molten flame]

why is dorms marked key way more expensive then the others like reserve

[alpine trout]

Anyone know a good place to find hot rods?

goshan doesn't spawn em

[rough scarab]

food crates

[cold yarrow]

all i know is reserve has people exfil camping and customs dont and therefore im more likely to live each raid

[alpine trout]

bruh I got 1100 hours and have only been exfil camped at reserve 3 times

I'd say 40% of my playtime is on reserve

[cold yarrow]

i dunno of all like the 4 raids i played 3 of them already had people at d-2 camping

while im just trying to do my find bunker quest

[alpine trout]

Were they camping or did you just bump into people down there

lol

[lament vector]

trying to get a RR\

[velvet blade]

I think this has to do with playstyles, do you extract early or take your time in raids?

[urban plank]

I just got the game a couple of hours ago and was wondering if someone could help teach me some useful stuff.

[meager inlet]

why do most of the reflex sights bounce around sightly? like it doesn't follow the gun even, it has a slight delay.

[regal socket]

how do i restart my account

[potent crater]

what is an ok budget gun?

[royal belfry]

woot finished punisher part 6

playing as a chad is fun

[cold yarrow]

depends what ammo are you willing to run

[royal belfry]

7.62 ps in an akm works pretty well

[potent crater]

im willing to dorp money on ammo but much less guns

[cold yarrow]

This is budget i like to run

[wary valley]

isn't this like gunsmith part 2?

[potent crater]

i like sks but with a sight and supressor but it is getting a bit too pricy

[vernal pewter]

Is chemical part 4 worth giving to therapist over skier

[cold yarrow]

LOL

nothing can get more budget than the SKS

[royal belfry]

give it to skier because his rep is annoying and hes also the most expensive

if you can put a suppressor on the sks you can buy a better gun

fold the stock iirc

[potent crater]

yah im gonna stop puting on a suppressor tho

[vernal pewter]

i already have .5 from him so thats why i was asking

[royal belfry]

you need .75

and he wants 1 mil ruble

the others are like

200k

[vernal pewter]

so basically the unknown reward from therapist aint worth

[royal belfry]

you can just buy the medic case

[cold yarrow]

what are euros used for i accidentally exchanged almost all my roubles into euros

[royal belfry]

yeah she gives you a med case

and 170k

so she gives you bout 550k rubles of stuff

and you have to pay bout 1.25 mil to recover

skier gives you a grenade case which also goes for like 330k rubles

and you only have to pay like

400k

[vernal pewter]

thanks bro

[remote onyx]

Mechanic and some skier i think

Or was it rag man

[cold yarrow]

What does this mean

Recover from what

[cosmic tinsel]

hurt rep

[royal belfry]

the rep recovery quests'

[cold yarrow]

Oh

Will the grenade case be fir

[royal belfry]

yes

quest rewards are always fir

[cold yarrow]

Cuz since i accidentally converted all my roubles to euro i bought a grenade case

[royal belfry]

oh

no buying from flea isnt fir

[cold yarrow]

Not that

[royal belfry]

just hold onto em

youll need euros for solar power

[cold yarrow]

I mean i dont need a 2nd grenade case when i finish chem 4

Hoping its sellable

Was what i meant

[royal belfry]

oh ye

itll be sellable

[humble galleon]

do you have to extract for chemical part 4

or once you mark the truck and and protect for 30 seconds youre good

cause i dont want to lose 25 skier rep

[long salmon]

What pistol/ammo should i be using for the "kill 3pmcs with a pistol" quest? ive been using 9x19 quakmaker but im wondering if .45 ACP FMJ would be better?

[cold yarrow]

Not issue with ammo

You just to shoot them in the face

Because all the 9x19 and .45 acp ammo are equally shitty when it comes to penning armor

Or you gotta hope someone came into factory without armor on

[bronze spoke]

What's the difference between EscapeFromTarkov.exe and EscapeFromTarkov_BE.exe

[bold kernel]

launcher

[cold yarrow]

Dunno because eft uses launcher and not direct executable

File should be bsglauncher.exe

[bronze spoke]

ye I'm trying to allow the game itself through the firewall tho
not trying to launch the game manually

[long salmon]

gotcha. i had a round where i did 400 something damage to armor and 500 something to his body. he had level 4 armor on chest and head. he ended up one tapping me but my buddy got him xD

[cold yarrow]

Yeah best map to do it is factory

I did all 3 kills there

[long salmon]

im not even bringing good armor because im dying so easily

if i can loot some ill use it then

[cold yarrow]

Thats why some ppl dont run armor on factory as well

Like i killed 3 pmc and last guy was left and killed me

Killing 3 pmc doesnt evem garentee your safe in factory

[long salmon]

not at all

ive killed more scavs than omcs

[bitter jay]

man im absolute trash at this game

[cold yarrow]

We all are

[bitter jay]

but I dont know anyone whos particularly good either

yeah i figured as much

[velvet blade]

the gunsmith pt 4 build on wiki gives me 39 durability 🤦‍♂️

[bold kernel]

time to die again

is this armor worth buying

[long salmon]

really my guy 😐

[bold kernel]

from fence 50k then repair 30k?

[merry dust]

its a t4

with like 47 max dura

i dont think its bad

[bold kernel]

i only get 29 max when i repair

[cold yarrow]

Good for the first 2 runs

[merry dust]

MAX

[cold yarrow]

Then toss

[merry dust]

if you bought it used its useless

[bold kernel]

ah fucc

[cold yarrow]

That armor is super heavy

Just run t3 armor so you dont die to shotgun scav

[bold kernel]

ragman only sell paca and another T2

[merry dust]

it is?

i quite like it

[cold yarrow]

Ceramics are heav6

Put on a set with that armor on and i was 27 kgs off the bat

[humble galleon]

when do i get the trust regain quests for prapor and therapist after chemical part 4?

for regaining reputation

[potent crater]

can someone post that link of like every task tree for each character?

Idk what it is called

i guess a task tree

[long salmon]

1 pmc down! 2 more to go!

i guess rushing office is the move

[cold yarrow]

Lol

You head eyes em?

[long salmon]

idk i never found out cause "factorygod420" killed me

[cold yarrow]

Should tell you still on death screen

[humble galleon]

how do i get trust regain for therapist? is it just supposed to pop up or how do i get it

[knotty heart]

How do I regain pic health out of a raid do I have to just wait?

[cold yarrow]

Could buy meds

[potent crater]

what is an akm series weapon?

[cold yarrow]

Akm akmn akmsn i think

[potent crater]

ok

is there akms?

[cold yarrow]

Yea i think so

[long salmon]

just had a guy spray me with igonlik ammo. hope you feel stupid for wasting it on a pistol only pmc

[urban plank]

Still Available.

[long salmon]

best advice i can give you is do offline raids to learn mechanics/ maps and if you dont do offline. avoid PVP at all costs

[urban plank]

I was hoping for active, in-raid teaching or in-menu teaching.

[potent crater]

im with someone rn but i think he is leaving soon so if you are NA we could play later

[urban plank]

I am, so sure we can

[potent crater]

im not too good either tho

[urban plank]

Its fine

[potent crater]

anyone have tips for bigger investment runs and how to recover after losing a good chunk of money

[long salmon]

I always do interchange and horde food. weapon mods. you can always do Woods and kill scavs as it seems to me they have good gear on them. you could also scav a factory and just loot the dead bodies of everyone

[slow night]

try not to overcompensate for losses with gear, if you lose a close fight don’t think that next raid you gotta wear better helmet and armor or something. just mix it up after losing a fat kit, i’ll try a run with the STM or something else budget and fun like a pp19

basically don’t tilt and your money should be fine over time

[visual canyon]

i went from nothing to this in this one raid is that good?

[long salmon]

you went from nothing to having stuff. thats W in my book

i like that usec armor but i kept getting blacked stomachs cause it doesnt cover it

[visual canyon]

ah

i have rip ammo in shotgun

[long salmon]

that stuff SHREDS people with no armor. causes a lot of fragmentation and bleeding

if they got heavy armor like lvl3+ it doesn't do so well. in my experience

[fathom ocean]

long ass backpack

[velvet blade]

shall I keep all bitcoins from quests to get the weapon case? or selling them to therapist is more effective?

[visual canyon]

i died

[stray vale]

lvl 10. Best guns to use before flea? First wipe

[long salmon]

op-sks, AKs that shoot .336 or the aks that shoot 7.62

[stray vale]

ok thanks. is there much I can do with the build on the AK's at this level?

[bold kernel]

not really

[long salmon]

you can get mounts for sights and maybe a suppressor

[bold kernel]

^

basically only if you happen to find the right attachments

[velvet blade]

or you can snag some attachments from Fence before they're taken

[alpine trout]

Do you need 6 rep for bosses to trust you?

[modern yacht]

So im having trouble making money or profit in general, gun fights are no problem but i cant seem to find anything worth selling. Any tips?

[long salmon]

interchange scav runs. pick up anything thats not nailed down

some runs i can make 100k

[violet sparrow]

guys i need help

im stuck

[long salmon]

or PMC on interchange with a big bag/rig and grab all the food you can. food sells to therapist and jeagar

[violet sparrow]

at hermetic door

i need someone to flip the switch so i can get my friend's stuff out ;-;

but theres like 10 player scavs out rn

im just praying someone will hit it

[sterile merlin]

is there any way to upgrade the pouch?

[violet sparrow]

once you complete the punisher questline for prapor youll get a 2x4 pouch

[sterile merlin]

awesome!

[long salmon]

For prapors 60 round mag quest does it have to be found on woods? im researching it and everyone says its a very low drop rate

[violet sparrow]

or you can pay way too much for materials and trade for a 2x3 pouch from peacekeeper lvl 3 i think

[violet sparrow]

it's easiest to get on woods at zb-014, but you can craft them at the lvl 2 lavaratory

[long salmon]

im still trying to get level 1 lav. these damn bolts wont show up

[crisp nest]

it cant fragment

[long salmon]

i got it confused with the 9x19 rip ammo

[unreal horizon]

rip slugs are pretty average

[potent crater]

anyone have tips for getting mega endurance

[merry dust]

slap sj6

and run for hell

im at 42 end and i dont do that i just do my raids like normal

[potent crater]

well im planning on grinding endurance then strength and i looked up a video and it said to do endurance first so i was gonna do endurance once i do library

[merry dust]

library is useful af

but i dont care about hideout

i grind like a real man

[potent crater]

i thought you said useless and i was like HUH?

[merry dust]

1head moments

[crisp nest]

bullets under 20 pen dont fragmrnt

ment

i mean if they have no armor they get 1 shot anywaays

[bold kernel]

why i get nervous as fucc when playing pmc lmao

mouse shaking and shii

[long salmon]

the stats literally say it does frag

[unreal horizon]

it can't though

erv is right

my understanding is bullets with under 20 pen won't frag, because they can't pen anything in the 1st place

but regardless of why, they just dont

[long salmon]

im not saying he/she is wrong im just going off what the wiki says about it

[unreal horizon]

i'm going off of nofoodaftermidnight's ammo chart, which is prob a better source than the wiki imo

[long salmon]

got a link for that?

[unreal horizon]

1 sec

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Pp8tKScb0jB66cOCJSAlNn-iKERMXd9FVkSmSq83qn8/htmlview

[crisp nest]

the wiki says it too

ammo under 20 cant frag

[unreal horizon]

basing off this

[long salmon]

[young goblet]

cache runs are underated i did one on my scav to look for fuel conditioner

i only hit half the caches on woods and came out with this

not even half more like a 1/4

and i had to leave a ton of shit

[river forge]

i wish i knew the maps good enough to do those

[young goblet]

you can use a map

you still gotta know common landmarks

and have a compass

[river forge]

yea ik but im only lvl 6

in the learning struggle

[bold kernel]

which is more important? penetration power or armor damage?

[crisp nest]

pen

[fathom ocean]

Good shit bruva

[bold kernel]

PS > T?

[languid sail]

Yes

[bold kernel]

ok thanks

[languid sail]

Both are not good tho

[bold kernel]

i know thsoe are the only two available

LL1 prapor

[languid sail]

Scav interchange goshan find tushonkas and barter them for bt

[bold kernel]

i been just selling tushonkas to therapist smh

thanks

[young goblet]

yeah dont run 5.45 till you get flea

PS is really bad

so is T

[bold kernel]

yes i only run 5.45 when i find BP

[bold kernel]

what loadout is good for under L20?

[young goblet]

BP isnt even that good

[young goblet]

7.62 AKs

all of them

AKM

and so on

7.62 PS can be had from prapor 1

and its actually good

[bold kernel]

ok

[fathom ocean]

sks is the best gun in the game

[young goblet]

also 7.62

[fathom ocean]

yep thats why its so good

you can run it with no rig too

pocket ammo and sks

[young goblet]

yep i mained it till i hit lvl 15

[bold kernel]

ok thanks ill try sks more

[fathom ocean]

Yeah some people dont like it but its really reliable

[mellow violet]

just dont try to shoot too fast

[languid sail]

bp is comparable with 7.62 ps tho

[crisp nest]

ps has nice flesh dmg too

[young goblet]

2 more armor damage for 3x the price

[potent crater]

anyone know nice budget stuff to do to get rich if im trying to make big investments

[young goblet]

hideout

and crafts

you gotta spend money to make money

scav runs are the only free money in tarkov

whenever i see NAE i think of UAE so I just think of "North American Emirates"

[languid sail]

I did alot of interchange stash runs and got myself quite alot of money that way

[young goblet]

is it worth running this vss. I never use it so im wonderin how bad >50% dura will hurt it

id kit it oc

[crisp nest]

with those attachments no

oh

idk tbh, they havent released misfire chances of ammos

[young goblet]

im not worried abt jams

i just mean in general accuracy

[crisp nest]

if u arent sniping its fine

and if u dont use it i dont think you CAN snipe

the drop is like 2m at 200m

[pure mist]

where is it?

my fucking mutant jam first bullet couple times

[crisp nest]

idk but i heard ammo has misfire chance

[pure mist]

yeah

i know theres a factor

[crisp nest]

i heard 50-100 is the same chance

[pure mist]

just don't know the exact numbers

[pure mist]

50-100? damn

no wonder im jamming

it's ridiculous tho

fresh gun

first bullet

jam

[bold kernel]

So who got some keycards for me

[potent crater]

definitely not me

[bold kernel]

[potent crater]

are big investments on flea worth it like dorms marked or stuff like that or should i more just play and gain money and invest in slightly better kits and stuff

[young goblet]

slightly kitted it

i aint that bad tbh

[bold kernel]

Hi - looking for somebody to help me and my friend play - we are completely lost 🙂

[elder cove]

I'll be happy to play with you le 🙂 I'm sort of new to the game but I know enough to survive lol

[fathom ocean]

I only jammed once and it was with a scav ak and I’m level 24 😂

[magic shoal]

what does this icon mean?

[languid sail]

insurance

[magic shoal]

ah I see thank you

[crisp nest]

if u have the

uh

mechanic 3?

barter

for buffer tube

u can get a nice stock on it

[pure mist]

you can't put a buffer tube on vss

val only

also it's mech 2 for 1 milk

[crisp nest]

oh

its vss

bruh lol

[golden helm]

who runs a m700 with no sight and a grach

[sand mortar]

Anyone want to group up? Fairly new, and looking to find some people to play with

[bold kernel]

i got the pocketwatch for Prapor yesterday. now its gone??

[golden helm]

its not in your quest inventory?

[crisp nest]

a real gamer

[golden helm]

m62 ammo?

[crisp nest]

hes a hipfire gamer xd

[deep edge]

Did you extract the raid.
Did you turn it in

[verbal grotto]

after you got his pocket watch do you happen to die in other raid without keeping watch in hideout?

[bold kernel]

I extract and went to sleep after

Am i supposed to turn it in before closing the game?

[deep edge]

Go to character. Then task tan

Tab

[bold kernel]

Not there maybe im tripping

I swear i extract on ruaf roadblock

[deep edge]

Did you turn in the quest

[bold kernel]

No turn in button. Ill j try and do it again

[deep edge]

If not the only thing I can think of is what silver said

[young goblet]

im pretty sure thats for the val only

let me check

[bold kernel]

Ok yes i understand now

[deep edge]

In the task tab you have 2 stash spots. You can put quest items in. One is in raid and ones stash. So if you have to extract with an item on customs and plant in dorms you can move it to the hideout stash to play a diff map

[young goblet]

yeah it is

[bold kernel]

Thank you now i understand. I thought its permanently in quest stash

[deep edge]

I thought items that didn't have to go 2 a second map such as pocket watch were as well but I always turn it in asap so idk

[crisp nest]

it is

my bad i thought u had val i forgot u had a yellow stock

[idle finch]

Is anyone willing to help me do the bunker part 2 quest?

[young goblet]

why do ammo packs cost so much

do you need them for something?

[vernal grail]

anyone want to help me do the jaeger intro quest? fairly new to tarkov, lvl 5 lol

[high jolt]

Anyone got a dorm room 303 that I can borrow for a task

[deep copper]

so if ia find a quest item in a raid, put it in my pouch, but die, it doesn't say "found in raid" anymore?

[young goblet]

well you cant put quest items in your pouch anyway

[deep copper]

it was a can of beef stew for Jaeger

i have a task to collect

[young goblet]

but dying remove FIR status on items in container

[deep copper]

oh no

ok, thanks

[young goblet]

yeah its a provision that happens to be required for a quest

[verbal grotto]

flashbang round...?

how this thing work?

[merry dust]

You shoot it

and boom

[verbal grotto]

make perfect sense

oh so it just flashbang in a barrel?

[merry dust]

No

[tranquil shore]

Best shoreline keys?

[tranquil shore]

Once you shoot it, if you're close enough your enemy is gonna be flashed.

It just shoots a white light that can flash...

[verbal grotto]

can i flash myself in the process?

[tranquil shore]

No

[verbal grotto]

aww

[young goblet]

you can but its hard

if ur up against a wall you can

or if your barrel is in a weird spot

[verbal grotto]

so there a way

i must proceed

[young goblet]

why would you want to flash yourself with a shotgun

[verbal grotto]

i just thought that if i flash myself and enemines who would made a right action to kill eachother first you know to test my reflex

and it kind of made my heart beat

[digital trout]

How do I heal unknown toxin?

[crisp nest]

augmentin

antidote

or pay thera

[long salmon]

[long salmon]

[long salmon]

noice

[silk quartz]

always forget when interchange raid timer starts

it's 45 min right?

[long salmon]

i think so

[west plover]

is there anything that this morons being tough guys line means? trying to remember why I got this from fence

[shy citrus]

probably referring to the people who continued to shoot other player scavs

[digital trout]

Anyone have some spare corrugated hoses I can buy from you?

[fervent swift]

You can craft them in lavatory

[digital trout]

I haven’t unlocked it yet

[tired prairie]

guys is there a difference between headsets ? and what is it ?

[somber thunder]

@tired prairie theres abit of a difference in volume and in the types of sounds they amplify/soften

[frank dagger]

Do suppressors make my gun brake faster?

[somber thunder]

@frank dagger I dont believe so

[frank dagger]

sick

what does durability burn mean

[silver hornet]

it means it burns your weapons durability, which in fact makes your gun break faster.

[frank dagger]

ah

so if my gun is 0 durability it just wont work?

[bold kernel]

what’s max hideout and crafting level?

50?

[tired prairie]

can u tell me which one is best ?

[silver hornet]

there is no "best", it's all personal preference

[silver hornet]

51, same for every skill

[golden helm]

Is a MDR good?

[silver hornet]

7.62 or 5.56

[golden helm]

5.56

[silver hornet]

it's alright

[bold kernel]

damn

[somber thunder]

@tired prairie really isnt a best theyre just different , i think veritas has a video on youtube comparing them all tho

[bold kernel]

im at level 15 for hideout

this is so sad

i craft everyday 24/7

[fervent swift]

Whichever you perform best with

[tired prairie]

alright thanks

[fervent swift]

I need to look into short dmr builds

[river silo]

what should I do with random junk I find, like bolts, wires, etc

[somber thunder]

see if youre gonna need them for quests or hideout anytime soon, if not sell them

[river silo]

who do I sell them too?

[mild fox]

if someone could help me with the general game that would be cool, just got it like 3 weeks ago and play every saturday or sunday.

[somber thunder]

on flea is youre level 20, if not whoever you need to spend money with to get your trader levels

[river silo]

oh, how do I get the american money?

[somber thunder]

quests and selling to peacekeeper

you can also find a lil in raids

[silver hornet]

you can buy USD from Peacekeeper

[tired prairie]

guys , the items u get from a run through doesnot count as found in raid ?

[trim chasm]

Nope

[tired prairie]

sad me :/

[golden helm]

okay so I was playing customs at night to do a quest and a scav was following me and I think he poisoned me?

[fervent swift]

Cultists

There's some that have a poisoned dagger and they sneak up on you

[golden helm]

wtf why?

he had vector on him

[bright pine]

Do we have to send requests to talk with/meet sherpas on the EFT website, or are we allowed to quietly join & listen in if we're respectful?

[fervent swift]

Yea they're pretty geared at times

[golden helm]

whats a sherpa?

[bright pine]

nvm lol

[fervent swift]

You could join the sherpa server

!sherpa

[rugged solstice]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/sherpa

[bright pine]

I'm already in there but no groups are actively discussing anything lol

😆

[golden helm]

so are sherpas just like really good players who will carry you?

[tired prairie]

https://prnt.sc/1pkstzq

?

[cerulean apex]

@golden helm SHERPAS are there to help new players get a basic understanding of the game

@golden helm to get a carry find a high lvl person who is bored

[deep ice]

People that play and help newbs

[jagged carbon]

is this a good trade ?

the pliers and body for 2 alu splints

[dreamy turtle]

NO

no

[boreal bane]

Does the woods RR extract still exists?

[atomic knoll]

no

only for reserve now

@boreal bane

[serene reef]

p sure they meant

ruaf roadblock

and how glitchy that extract is

[tranquil plover]

Alu splint is cheaper than the armor I think

[dark bay]

would anyone be down to que up with me on customs to help me learn loot locations im not brand new but like a week or two new

[young storm]

inv me

[wintry vapor]

i lost my key for the portable cabin trailer park for the quest anyone got a spare i can trade for?

[tranquil shore]

https://tarkov-tools.com/hideout-profit/

[hearty blaze]

looking for someone who has jaeger 3 who can buy me the reap-ir scope eyecup. its 374 rubles and i can toss u something to make it worth ur time

[tranquil shore]

Which is the best scav case option? Currently im running moonshine (i craft it myself) but i get alot of shit and sometimes good. Is the 85k better?

[fervent swift]

Moonshine is basically free profits

But tbh one sold bottle =2-3 scav cases

So maybe that's better

[tranquil shore]

Im gonna try it for a while and see.

Thanks

[fervent swift]

Nice, keep us updated

My distillery will be finished when I get home from work

[atomic knoll]

Meh I tend to go for the shorter ones

And the longer ones for when I'm about to sleep

[fervent swift]

Gonna be great to finally get rid of the water and sugar hogging all the space in my inventory

[fervent swift]

Noticed any big difference in the rewards?

[atomic knoll]

Noticed loads of crap. But they add up

I always make a profit

No losses at all

So that's a +

I actually prefer intel folder

[tranquil shore]

I've heard that intel folder gives alot of crap

[atomic knoll]

Moonshine tends to give streamer items

Both give loads of crap

Which is why I prefer running the shorter ones

Unless I'm about to sleep

[tranquil plover]

Tarkov Tools is pog

Too bad they have VIP thing

i just want 1 intel folder

Been rushing white knight

[compact zenith]

I found 3 in crackhouse in the same raid

[atomic knoll]

can always buy it tbh

Unless u need it to be FIR

[tranquil plover]

HOLY FUCK

FOUND ONE

IN HELI

HAHAH

[fervent swift]

Gz

[tranquil plover]

Ez. Dont mind if I die now

[fervent swift]

I found 3 in crackhouse before I knew what they were for and then died without pouching them

[young goblet]

is the GL-40 still in game

[fervent swift]

Insured key

[compact zenith]

I'm still holding to the three I got

[young goblet]

insure all people are lazy

[fervent swift]

Low-key big brain move

[compact zenith]

Are they worth anything in the long run?

[fervent swift]

Yea

For upgrading intelligence center and scav crates

[tranquil plover]

I originally wasn't going to go to heli but I was like, "It only takes few seconds"

Bam. Intel

Feels fuckkin great

[fervent swift]

Imagine getting to see replays of raids and getting to see all the loot you run past

[tranquil plover]

I died, but I got the intel

I am happy with that raid

SHould I spend my intel on hideout for intel?

Is it worth?

[tranquil shore]

Everything in your hideout is worth it imo (other than bitcoin and solar)

[grim reef]

Soalr exepsnive asf but worth in the long run

[spark void]

Hey, i got just started this wipe and got the quest with the medallion on customs, but dont have the key yet. Anyone willing to help me out?

[shut veldt]

hello people of assistance, how can i be of service

[golden helm]

is the mpx good for low levels?

[shut veldt]

yes. low recoil , easy to mod , ammo is easy to find

[dreamy turtle]

yes

[dreamy cobalt]

Does sturman shoot scav players regardless fence rep

[analog fulcrum]

hes not supposed to, if u got enough fence rep as a scav, "supposed to" meaning it might be bugged who knows

[atomic knoll]

I mean, what else can u use it for?

[normal plover]

Pretty sure ye

U can use intel for scav case

[coral pilot]

ya peacekeeper barter

for gl40

[atomic knoll]

Not if the intel isn't up

[dreamy cobalt]

There’s no mutual action when you shoot back at boss right if u kill them karma still decrease

[analog fulcrum]

I think it will still decrease but IDK for sure

[dreamy cobalt]

Yes

[fervent swift]

I wouldn't take the risk

[atomic knoll]

when u kill bosses, u get -0.5

unless you're maxed rep

Then it's -3.5 to 6

[deep ice]

Scav rep is for poor people

Small pp energy

[atomic knoll]

It's fun killing PMCs along with gluhar on reserve

[dreamy cobalt]

I just got ice pick yesterday playing scav

[deep ice]

Dying to player scav even smaller pp energy

Big pp player scav

[fervent swift]

I hope you ran to exfil

[dreamy cobalt]

I did and sold it 3.85mil

Huge pp

[atomic knoll]

Noice

Now barter for the RR from jaegar

[fervent swift]

Should've kept it

[atomic knoll]

Why tho?

[fervent swift]

To use for a safe extract on reserve?

[deep ice]

Like we extract

[atomic knoll]

U use the profits from flea

To barter for a cheaper rr

[fervent swift]

Isn't it the same price in mats?

[atomic knoll]

Nope. Cheaper

[fervent swift]

Oh

Nice, then yea do that

Free rr and free monayy

[alpine umbra]

what type of shotgun ammo aka buck or slug is the best for early levels

[tribal creek]

7MM BUCK

[alpine umbra]

i know the magnum buck and the slug ap20 are really good but i can only access them later

[clear harness]

is there anything special about the guitar pick

[green delta]

kurt cobain used it

[clear harness]

ahh ok

[green delta]

i literally have no idea dude that was a joke

[clear harness]

i know

it sells for a lot thats y i asking

[alpine umbra]

my guess its a task item

[wispy marten]

You need it for kappa but thats it, it just vendors for a lot because its sorta rare

[alpine umbra]

btw is it a myth that you need lvl 71 for kappa ?

[wispy marten]

no

should be on the wiki now, you need all streamer items + lvl 71

[fervent swift]

Start saving up kappa items at like 55+

[alpine umbra]

thats to much grind for me

[wispy marten]

unless it's evasion armband, then save it no matter what

if you plan on getting kappa this wipe

[clear harness]

i sold it

[pliant citrus]

will some one help me with woods quests?

[icy island]

can anyone help me with bunker part 2 and search mission for prapor

[queen crag]

Can you kill raiders on reserve or do you lose karma?

[unborn locust]

I can never find extraction points please help

[queen crag]

Offline helped me

[unborn locust]

@queen crag what’s different about offline?

[queen crag]

You can set it so it is just you and you can explore the maps

[primal sun]

can anyone help me with gunsmithing pt 2? ive got the hanguard but need help with the rest

[junior rose]

Should I use a car battery to upg Vents or give it to The Rapist for a quest?

[sharp geyser]

I'd save it for your vents first, and then give it to therapist

I'd steer clear of the rapist too, he's a dodgey guy

[slow sleet]

Save it for the quest

Wgen your 20 u can buy batteries for the vents, but u cant buy them for the quest

[sharp geyser]

Gonna want to up your vents way before level 20 tho?

[slow sleet]

I waited

20 didnt take long.

[sharp geyser]

If he's a newer player though it'll be a grind

[slow sleet]

Your also gonna get roadblocked on waterfliter until 30

Air filter or wtf its called

Grinding out fir items for quest will be harder for him

Best have quests done that gets him too 20

[sharp geyser]

True, don't you need vents up for workbench though? Which would be Hella useful

[slow sleet]

Sub 20 worbbench useless

And i believe its vents lvl 1

[primal sun]

where to find c ar bettery]

[hot tree]

Interchange somewhere in oli

[compact zenith]

Garages at customs

Where there are cars

[hot tree]

I found 2 in 1 raid

[sharp geyser]

Anywhere, duffel bags and burried caches always look lucrative, If not warehouse shelves and stuff on interchange and customs

[primal sun]

thankyou

[junior rose]

What junk items here are better off being bartered than hoarded/sold on the flea? I'm running low on storage space

[fathom ocean]

Mf got 2 lucky scav junk boxes full 😂

[bold kernel]

same here but i sell the stuff i find too often for some money

i got some shit in ere
