[wary valley]

@slow night why

[sinful pilot]

whats the best way to lvl up bc ppl been saying tasks survival or kills

[wary valley]

Ur a madman

[cosmic tinsel]

all 3

[unreal horizon]

Tasks

[whole thistle]

You are a powerful man

[sinful pilot]

but im close to lvl 20 and just wanna do it

[wary valley]

Only time i dive for loot is when i kill sthurman

[cosmic tinsel]

can you kill raiders?

[sinful pilot]

so i could do like a task and survive

[slow night]

once i got max btc farm it got easy to take the game less seriously

[sinful pilot]

ye

[whole thistle]

Surviving and quests

[sinful pilot]

i killed some raiders

[cosmic tinsel]

raiders are the fastest XP

[sinful pilot]

ok might farm them a bit

[livid mesa]

lvl 20 should be short term goal lvl 42 is where you need to get before stop questing

[sinful pilot]

can i do it with a pistol or smt?

[cosmic tinsel]

i dont usually recommend them on account of they're more advanced

[unreal horizon]

Yeah

[cosmic tinsel]

uh, i'd suggest a shotgun

[whole thistle]

That would be kinda hard

[cosmic tinsel]

but yeah

havent seen many face shields this wipe

[sinful pilot]

they give good guns aswell

i got a vector off one before

[unreal horizon]

SKS with 20 rounders or smt

[whole thistle]

I want all raiders to have killa AI

[unreal horizon]

I do not

[whole thistle]

It would be so fucking funny

[unreal horizon]

Killa is awesome now

[sinful pilot]

well thanks i should get lvl 20 now then

[uneven pond]

it let me go on the website now but now the button to login just dosent work lol

[whole thistle]

What does it bring you to?

[uneven pond]

this button dosent work

[whole thistle]

Weird

[wary valley]

Dude probably missed his password

Its normal

Idk

[uneven pond]

i spelt it right

[wary valley]

Ok

[uneven pond]

[wary valley]

Reset ur password

[merry dust]

I mean I do

[uneven pond]

[sinful pilot]

[unreal horizon]

Sure

[sinful pilot]

is this good

[bold kernel]

I found killa armor and i can sell it for 150k to ragman should i sell it or keep it?

[fading violet]

I would wear it

but if you really need the money you can sell

[humble ether]

i am lvl 7 and found a labs access card can anyone help me on the run i dont wanna just go in and get obliterated any help would be great

[whole thistle]

Not really lol

It has low recoil but shitty ammo

[sinful pilot]

whats a good gun i can buy

[whole thistle]

If you aim for face it'll be fine

[sinful pilot]

i have prapor lvl 2 and peacekeeper lvl 2

[whole thistle]

Trader guns are super expensive

[sinful pilot]

can i show u my stash and u tell me good guns?

[whole thistle]

I just used sks and whatever scavs had before flea

[whole thistle]

Sure

Just post screenshots

[sacred badge]

those are all capable of killing someone

[whole thistle]

All of those are good lmao

Except the vityaz

[sinful pilot]

i cant use the as val bc its too expensive

[whole thistle]

All of those guns are >80k

Remember, you didn't buy the gun, the price doesn't matter @sinful pilot

[sinful pilot]

ye

i might use the m4

i got good bullets

[whole thistle]

The guy who you killed for it already lost his investment it doesn't matter if you lose it lol

[whole thistle]

Which ones

[sinful pilot]

m855

[whole thistle]

That's not good lol

It works though

[sinful pilot]

m85a1?

[whole thistle]

55a1 is the meta ammo

[rocky crane]

Hey. Im going to run some labs for the first time, (played last +this wipe) around lv40. Anyone willing to help, aka, Labs guide?

[livid mesa]

855a1 is the good stuff

[sinful pilot]

or them 2

[whole thistle]

Those are both top tier ammos for 556

[sinful pilot]

which them 2

[dawn geyser]

My chat didn't scroll

lmao

[sinful pilot]

i also got a monkey mask

[dawn geyser]

But I wouldn't use the Short barrel Sa-58, it's going to recoil to the moon

[sinful pilot]

look monke

[whole thistle]

That mask is goated

[dawn geyser]

Take the pistol grip/magazine off of any gun bigger than a 2x3 rectangle

Will save space

[sinful pilot]

what u mean

[whole thistle]

Do that

It makes the gun a lot smaller

[sinful pilot]

how

[dawn geyser]

I mean what I mean

Take off the pistol grip and magazine.

Double click the gun

[whole thistle]

Just try it and look

[sinful pilot]

oh i get u

it reduces it

[whole thistle]

By a lot

[dawn geyser]

Yeah, if you're a gun hoarder you'll have to do that

I know I am.

[sinful pilot]

like that

[dawn geyser]

Yeah

[sinful pilot]

but where do i put mag

anywhere?

[dawn geyser]

Mag box if you have it

[whole thistle]

Just in your stash

[dawn geyser]

Otherwise I suggest a rig that you designate for magazines for organization.

[sinful pilot]

but u know if i have a drum mag should i leave it

[dawn geyser]

A space saving rig (Mppv)

It depends on the gun

The Suppressed AKM yeah

It will save 1 space

[whole thistle]

On the rpk yes on the other one no

[sinful pilot]

ok lemme do it a min

i cant do it for vector

[dawn geyser]

I said any cell bigger than a 2x3 anyways

=p

[sinful pilot]

oh sorry

wait did u say do it to the rpk

so like this

[dawn geyser]

Mhm

Well

Not the RPK

Since it has a drum mag and isn't all that long

[sinful pilot]

and u said get rid off the sa barrel and get a longer one

[whole thistle]

I think he meant sell the whole gun

That thing has insane recoil

[dawn geyser]

Yeah either get a long barrel SA-58, new hanguard, recoil dampening foregrip, or just sell it

I recommend you sell it

[sinful pilot]

ye ill sell it im too low lvl to get anoterh

[dawn geyser]

It doesn't get very low

[whole thistle]

Fal 90 meta recoil

[dawn geyser]

[sinful pilot]

done then

[dawn geyser]

Looks good

[sinful pilot]

i have much more room

oh i got another question when i get flea ima get a mdr will i need this hting

[wary valley]

Only the sight probably

[dawn geyser]

Guns you buy will most likely always come with a barrel

Unless you're actively looking for the lower receiver

You can vendor

[whole thistle]

No lol

[sinful pilot]

ill sell it then

and do u think u could help me out with my ammo i need to sell somebut idk which is good and which is bad

[sacred badge]

20 hits of AP 6.3 to the upper chest and face apparently wasnt enough lol

did 378 damage...

[dawn geyser]

Level 6 is spicy

[dawn geyser]

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

[sinful pilot]

i feel like most off the ammo is bad

[dawn geyser]

Scroll down on that site

And keep the top 3 of all calibers

Anything that states "AP" is upper caliber and you can just keep right away

[merry dust]

I love mdr

[sacred badge]

early on i had better success with 7.62x39 PS because thats all you can get lol

[sinful pilot]

do i need this

[sacred badge]

better than trying to run ak74 or whatever

[merry dust]

ps is actually really decent

[dawn geyser]

That's for a Toz

You don't want a Toz

[sinful pilot]

i dont like them

what is the 6.2 for

[dawn geyser]

huh

[fading violet]

they are all garbage

don't use anything 20/70 caliber

[cosmic tinsel]

sort of off topic - have you noticed that mashing left click on fal is... pretty nutty

shoots way faster than full auto

[sinful pilot]

this one

[dawn geyser]

On Semi?

[cosmic tinsel]

ye

[whole thistle]

@sinful pilot sell these

[dawn geyser]

Oh that's just the size

[sinful pilot]

what the ones with the red lines in?

[whole thistle]

Diameter of the pellets

[whole thistle]

Yeah

[sinful pilot]

ok

[dawn geyser]

Is it less visual recoil? ' - '

[cosmic tinsel]

i dont think so

[dawn geyser]

Oh okay

[cosmic tinsel]

but for room clearing

[dawn geyser]

I'll have to look at that though

[cosmic tinsel]

it might be a nutty move

[round trout]

my fps slowly decreases during a raid idk why

it starts at 80 then slowly goes down to 60 then down to 50

[abstract reef]

what type of guns would i be best off using? these 5.45 guns hit like pea shooters even with bt

[whole thistle]

Koshyjohn ram cleaner or restart game

Its ram leak @round trout

[round trout]

oh

[cosmic tinsel]

i run shotguns almost exclusively early wipe

[round trout]

how do i fix that

[sinful pilot]

@whole thistle

like this

[dawn geyser]

Koshyjohn has saved lives

fistbump for freeware

[whole thistle]

Like I said either restart the game or use a ram cleaner @round trout

[whole thistle]

Yea

[merry dust]

Said who?

[dawn geyser]

I recommend you restart your game every couple of raids if you have problem with memory leaks

[merry dust]

pop a flir on that bad boy

and you get next level gameplay

[abstract reef]

i restart my game every 2-3 hours otherwise it runs like dogwater

[dawn geyser]

Don't show people a rough and beaten path

[whole thistle]

Devastator leg meta

[round trout]

it just happens in the middle of the raids and makes it hard for me to play

[merry dust]

A path of righteousness

the only true way

[abstract reef]

not really very early wipe anymore though

[dawn geyser]

Yes, restart your game every couple raids then

[merry dust]

shush my son

[dawn geyser]

Tons of people have the problem

[merry dust]

only the star slugs are acceptable

[cosmic tinsel]

sorry, while im poor

[whole thistle]

Then use the ran cleaner lol

[merry dust]

because you my friend are a star

[cosmic tinsel]

im not seeing enough face shields to justify not using shotguns imo

[whole thistle]

I just click both of the buttons mid raid and it fixes my fps

[merry dust]

i see reshala guards with kivers

beat that

[whole thistle]

I forgot what they say

[dawn geyser]

inb4 your leg explodes

[whole thistle]

Sorry I don't play woods

[dawn geyser]

[merry dust]

Woods is cringe map

[sinful pilot]

is m855a1 good?

[merry dust]

yes

[hexed lynx]

yes

[whole thistle]

Yeah

[merry dust]

YESSSS

[crude breach]

Anyone from eu wanna run customs

[merry dust]

YEEEEEESSS

[whole thistle]

[vital girder]

I’m really new and need a teammate to get my stash better loot

[whole thistle]

I just use eft monster because numbers scare me

[merry dust]

it will save your life one day

[merry dust]

I just go off the number

50 bmg must be powerful

right?

[whole thistle]

The 50 cal in 12g is very funny

[merry dust]

that’s what I’m talking abt

[whole thistle]

My friend went in an online raid by accident the other day and killed 3 pmcs with it lmao

[wary valley]

Crouching chad hidden rat @merry dust

[bold kernel]

how good is kiba key?

[whole thistle]

Very good

[dawn geyser]

By itself, worthless

[sinful pilot]

[dawn geyser]

You need both

[bold kernel]

[dawn geyser]

Just @ me in this channel whenever you need me

[whole thistle]

Except the gen M3 mags@sinful pilot

[wary valley]

I gotta get nutrition unit 3 and security 3

[dawn geyser]

He might even play with you if he's in the mood =p

[whole thistle]

Yeah

[sinful pilot]

both off them the big and small?

[wary valley]

Then ima safe up to get scav case

[dawn geyser]

Personally I would sell the 5.45x39 drum mags - Magazines give you stats as well

[whole thistle]

The small ones only

[dawn geyser]

Drum mags drag your ergonomics down significantly

Though I must admit they're fun.

[wary valley]

Whats reshala spawn rate normally?

[sinful pilot]

u know gpu should i sell to therapist

[whole thistle]

No don't

[dawn geyser]

If it is FIR, save it for level 20 and flea market

[sinful pilot]

ok bc i have one in my scav box

[whole thistle]

Wiki

[cosmic tinsel]

i wanna say 37%

[whole thistle]

Is it found in raid? @sinful pilot

[cosmic tinsel]

but wikis got all answers

[whole thistle]

I think it's 34 but I don't remember lol

[sinful pilot]

yes

[whole thistle]

Keep for flea

600k on flea 100k to therapist

[sinful pilot]

oh thats a big difference

so ill keep alot to save then

u know reshala he is the boss off shoreline now

i saw him and killed him

[dawn geyser]

Temporary event =p

[sinful pilot]

oh

[whole thistle]

Sanitar and reshala are both there

[sinful pilot]

is there a grenade launcher in the game

[whole thistle]

Yes

[sinful pilot]

and whos sanitar a boss?

[whole thistle]

He's the shoreline boss

He's a doctor so he spawns with tons of meds lol

[sinful pilot]

oh

i dont needs meds i got alot off them

[fathom ocean]

Hes a crack fein

[sinful pilot]

u know a scav head eyes me with a shotgun from over 50 m

[cosmic tinsel]

[whole thistle]

Get used to it

[dawn geyser]

#welcome-to-tarkov

xD

[sinful pilot]

it stupid i shot him in the face

[bold kernel]

Guy who has crazy drugs

[dawn geyser]

Whoops didn't mean to actually link the channel

[bold kernel]

Bosses have more Hp Than normal PMCS

[whole thistle]

Sigma male grindset
Survive rifle bullets to the forehead

[bold kernel]

And some high tier ammo won’t kill them in one shot

[sinful pilot]

ik tagilla onced smacked me to death

[bold kernel]

because it has less flesh

[sinful pilot]

he chased me around the map

[novel patrol]

He has expensive meds like stimulants and grizzlies on him

[whole thistle]

Lmao

[sinful pilot]

i wanna get this injector called mule its good

u can run when over weight

[whole thistle]

You can also run real fast and jump high

It makes you lose health tho

[wary valley]

Grizzly is like 30k

[novel patrol]

Yeah mules aren't really all that useful to be a carried all the time stim.

[sinful pilot]

is sugar worth keeping?

[wary valley]

For 6 times an ifak

Yes

[weak talon]

Is reshala on shoreline still

[whole thistle]

Yeah it's like 60k on flea

[sinful pilot]

oh i got one

[whole thistle]

Supposedly

[sinful pilot]

i ate 2 off them

[whole thistle]

Why lmao

They get rid of all your hydration

[wary valley]

He wanted a snack

[hard tangle]

have some water bro

[sinful pilot]

bc i need energy and im not paying 14k for crackers

[wary valley]

Lmao

[whole thistle]

You also need water tho...

[dawn geyser]

[sinful pilot]

i drank some

[novel patrol]

Ah poor guy, thinking 14k is expensive

[wary valley]

Literally lost 46k for 14k difference

[sinful pilot]

ik but they give u nothing

[whole thistle]

Tbf 14k is a lot for 10 energy

[wary valley]

It is

[wary valley]

Why u go to woods

[novel patrol]

Go to Interchange, goshan, grab some food and you'll never need to buy crackers again

[wary valley]

Or interchange

[whole thistle]

I don't sell most of the food I get

[bold kernel]

get some food with a scav

[novel patrol]

It is, but it's also the same price as scav gun most of the time

[sinful pilot]

i ran inter and get a ak from it

bc i killed this chad

[whole thistle]

Do you need 7 scav guns before a raid?

[fading violet]

you are not supposed to eat the crackers

they are used for crafting

[novel patrol]

@whole thistle I do aye, for when they misfire

[bold kernel]

is this the same as BCP FMJ

[sinful pilot]

craft what?

[whole thistle]

Yes

And it sucks dick lol

[bold kernel]

its nto that bad

[whole thistle]

Stew

[whole thistle]

If you're above level 14 it's obsolete

[bold kernel]

im lvl 16

[whole thistle]

Buy m80 from peacekeeper

[sinful pilot]

why has peackeeper not gave me a mission yet

i wanna get a mdr off him

[novel patrol]

@sinful pilot You need to complete the Friends From the West Part 1 and Part 2 to unlock his quests

[bold kernel]

$279 for 120

kinda expensive

[whole thistle]

It's good ammo doe

[bold kernel]

ye

but im on 400k

rn

[novel patrol]

Good ammo costs money, running a gun with shit ammo is pointless

[sinful pilot]

i havent got them yet

[novel patrol]

Can't pen level 4s minimum get rid

[bold kernel]

but i dont have the money for the ammo

[whole thistle]

Tell that to a Killa farmer

[whole thistle]

They're skier quests

Do whatever he wants you to do

[novel patrol]

The good killa farmers run VSS or 762 MDR and both aren't too shabby

[sinful pilot]

u know fence if i get good rep can i follow scav bosses around

bc they kill me

[whole thistle]

Cap, you know they use m61 hunters

[whole thistle]

Why would you want to do that tho

[novel patrol]

Aye the ones that always die. Watch anyone who's good at the game farm Killa and the default is VSS/MDR or Mosin for a challenge this wipe

[dawn geyser]

He aspires to be a bot

[bold kernel]

goldstar used for missions

[sinful pilot]

bc u let him kill ppl and u get the loot

[whole thistle]

Scav bosses aren't hard to kill, you'll probably just get caught in the crossfire or die after the boss does

[sinful pilot]

they head eyes me

[abstract reef]

i have a hard time telling where i'm shooting when using a red dot (kobra mostly), is there a sight with better clarity during those moments?

[bold kernel]

so with m80 this will slap?

[sinful pilot]

i killed reshala once tho

[whole thistle]

Yeah

[novel patrol]

Better than FMJ

[bold kernel]

alrighrt

[novel patrol]

Holo's are currently the best clarity close range sight

[bold kernel]

when i used the gun b4 with fmj kinda felt shit but

[whole thistle]

Exactly

[whole thistle]

Because you used fmj lol

[merry dust]

Uh-1

[round trout]

i fixed the ram leak issue

turns out I had google chrome open

which made things alot worse

lmao

[abstract reef]

chrome when it sees ram be like

[spring plover]

with a red dot sight on an assault rifle, what distance should I set it at just running around close and mid range fights? 25 or 50?
Also, is it normal to hold your breath while you shoot a red dot or not normal?

[whole thistle]

Bru

[whole thistle]

Keep it at 25-50

[whole thistle]

Also do you mean literally holding your breath or pressing alt

[spring plover]

pressing alt sry

[whole thistle]

It only helps with far shots on an unaware target

If you're close then don't

[spring plover]

ah gotcha

ty for help

so I can keep it at like 25 and be ok?

[round trout]

How do I figure out where I am to get to extraction

[whole thistle]

Double tab o

[whole thistle]

Oh wait you mean where you are now

[bold kernel]

There are guides online

What map are you on?

[whole thistle]

Just look at a map and figure it nearby landmarks

[bold kernel]

^^

Noiceguy has 5 min guides

For every map

And it’s quite helpful

[round trout]

im playing on custom

[bold kernel]

Double tap O

what are your extracts?

[round trout]

I heard that is a good beginner map

[bold kernel]

It’s a harsh map but you need to learn it for quests

[round trout]

well i was doing offline to just get a feel

im not in the game rn

[bold kernel]

So on the boiler side of the map

Theres the ZB1011 bunker

and on the trailer park side of the map theres crossroads and trailer park

those are your certain extracts meaning they will Always be available

Youll have dorms V-EX which you need to pay to get out of the raid, and only one group of players can use it. It’s between 4-15k roubles depending on your fence rep

and you’ll also have zb1013 I believe it’s what it’s called

You need a key and the power to be on

[round trout]

ok

[bold kernel]

if you spawn on the boilers side of the map you have RUAF roadblock sometimes, if the light is on the extract is open

if you spawn on the trailer park side you’ll have old gas station which will be open if there’s green smoke, and ZB1012 which will be open if the light is on

that’s a lot of information that’s probably useless without going through the map first so I’d do that first

[placid stump]

I am looking for someone to train me in this game

[bold kernel]

#pvp-lfg

Also #sherpa-info

[somber rain]

yall gamin

gayming

@fathom ocean helmets save lives

buy one today

[unique steeple]

whats the difference between the 2 klesch?

[somber rain]

👍

[fathom ocean]

I wont buy one but ill use the ones I get off of dead mfs

[somber rain]

i dont think there is a difference really

[somber rain]

better than nothin

[bold kernel]

Buy atleast the SSH or ratnik barter

[cosmic tinsel]

i only buy em for nvg mounting

[bold kernel]

for 2 bleach

[fathom ocean]

Im good

[fathom ocean]

🤝

[sinful pilot]

when i reload it keeps dropping my mag why?

[dawn geyser]

You need a space big enough to support your magazine size in your rig or pockets

[sinful pilot]

oh

[dawn geyser]

Eg. if you have a drum mag, you need a 2x2 space in your Rig big enough that is free

If you have a 1x2 (standard stanag 30 rounder mag)

You only need a 1x2 but it needs to be empty

[sinful pilot]

oh i get u now

thanks

[abstract reef]

if you mash r, that's quick reload which drops mag always

[dawn geyser]

Yeah double tapping R is a emergency reload

Drops it to the ground with a slightly faster reload time

[hot plinth]

its about .5 seconds faster

xD so not much at all

[abstract reef]

in a firefight it is

[hot plinth]

not really

[dawn geyser]

Eh, .5 seconds can be the different between life and death

[gaunt oasis]

Am I stupid, I can't find LFG section on this discord.

[dawn geyser]

TTk in this game is pretty fast

[dawn geyser]

#pvp-lfg

[hot plinth]

didnt say ttk isnt fast but that .5 seconds isnt gonna save you...i promise

[abstract reef]

so playing with 500 ping is ok?

[hot plinth]

but yes asd kwon and skyguy said... always have a slot open that way you dont drop a mag , or dont double tap R

[viscid kindle]

I've definitely had fast reload save me

[dawn geyser]

You're not going to change his mind, it's made up. I'm not going to try either.

[hot plinth]

lol dont act like that

[cosmic tinsel]

fast reload works for me

do it if you like it, dont if you dont

[hot plinth]

xD no one said it didnt work

the mechanic works fine

it reloads .5 seconds faster

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah i was talking about "isnt gonna save me"

it has.

if you dont believe in it, you should unbind it tho

[hot plinth]

ok bigboy

[cosmic tinsel]

it'll give you an extra .3 seconds on your reload

as the game doesnt wait for a second input

[hot plinth]

lol ok

[bold kernel]

does anyone know why people are bringing in almost mbss bags full of 7mm buckshot?

[cosmic tinsel]

weight training!

[bold kernel]

oh

[cosmic tinsel]

its a cheap way, and you can adjust it easily

so that you're overweight but still regenerating stam

[bold kernel]

well thats alot more easier than i thought

looking for a group i need help with some tasks dm me asap eu

[somber rain]

is the weight training thing worth it

with the 7mm buckshot?

[cosmic tinsel]

i would argue no, but a lot of people argue yes

[dawn geyser]

Me personally

[somber rain]

what does strength even do

[dawn geyser]

Gives you more carryweight ceiling

[random portal]

helps you jump farther and higher

and that

[somber rain]

epic

so

worth it?\

[random portal]

stam is very good to have in fights

[cosmic tinsel]

it'll happen naturally, slower

[somber rain]

endurance increases your stamina, right?

[cosmic tinsel]

yup

[somber rain]

or is it strength

[random portal]

^ around level 40 you should have max strength if you play alot

[tame vault]

you can throw grenades further

[somber rain]

[dawn geyser]

If you have some extra cash, I fill my backpack with Buck, run my full stamina bar in beginning of raid

Then just drop it

level endurance

[somber rain]

kolpak good helmet

with visor, ofc

[cosmic tinsel]

no

[dawn geyser]

oh

[somber rain]

why not bro

[random portal]

kolpak is shit lmfao

[dawn geyser]

I thought he was

telling us

[somber rain]

it has lvl 1 protection

[random portal]

its like level 2

[dawn geyser]

Kopak was good helmet

[random portal]

ye lvl1

[dawn geyser]

I was like

[somber rain]

protects against buckshot

[dawn geyser]

[somber rain]

oh no

the rat

[random portal]

1 shot lol

[somber rain]

lmao

[whole thistle]

No it's not

[somber rain]

i hope yall didnt take that seriously

omg yall did

[cosmic tinsel]

bro

[somber rain]

im not that fuckin stupid

[dawn geyser]

This is

[cosmic tinsel]

its beginners assistance

[dawn geyser]

Beginners assistance.

[whole thistle]

Lots of people in this chat unironically use the kolpak

[cosmic tinsel]

we're expecting people to 1) need knowledge and 2) not troll noobies

[somber rain]

wait, some people in here use kolpak?

[cosmic tinsel]

we gave you the benefit of the doubt and put you in group 1

lol

[whole thistle]

Yes lmao

[dawn geyser]

Rule #1 of beginners assitance ; everyone is a potato until proven otherwise

[cosmic tinsel]

nearly everyone uses kolpaks when they start

"they wouldnt make a terrible helmet, it must protect me!"

see also: hollow point ammo (it's the best at killing!)

[bold kernel]

looking for a group i need help with some tasks dm me asap eu

[whole thistle]

I didn't because I came to this game right off r6 and my friend told me it reduces hearing

[somber rain]

isnt hollow point ammo just flesh dmg?

or pen

[cosmic tinsel]

i did and igot memed on my a friend lol

[whole thistle]

I've been a penis helmet sigma all the way

[whole thistle]

Yes

[abstract reef]

hp is flesh

[dawn geyser]

HP is flesh yes.

[cosmic tinsel]

just flesh, but people have heard of it (and FMJ) so they run it

[somber rain]

penis helmet is a good helmet for the price i think

[whole thistle]

Yes

[abstract reef]

not really when you can barter a 6b47 for 2 bleach for ~18-20k

[cosmic tinsel]

worth noting the ratnik barter is cheaper than penis helm, gives fewer penalties, a mounting point, and ear coverage, with the same high ricochet chance

penis helmets good for the money

[somber rain]

whats the point of a mounting point if you cant buy anything to mount on to it

[whole thistle]

Nvg

[somber rain]

at ll1 traders

you can put nvg on a ratnik?

[whole thistle]

Skier 2 has it

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah

[somber rain]

tf?

[whole thistle]

Yea

[cosmic tinsel]

and even if you dont, its not a negative

it still covers ears and is cheaper

and better ergo

[somber rain]

yeah, i see that

helmets affect ergo?

[whole thistle]

A little

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

[somber rain]

how?

[cosmic tinsel]

penis helmet quite a bit

tk mt not at all

[somber rain]

tf -1 ergo on a tk?

[cosmic tinsel]

tk mt is my favorite helmet 😄

[somber rain]

whats even good about the tk

its lvl 1

[cosmic tinsel]

high ricochet

mounting points

[somber rain]

can you put armor plate on it?

[cosmic tinsel]

cheap cost, low penalties

sure

i dont.

[whole thistle]

At that point just buy a better helmet lol

[somber rain]

the pnv-10t is the really grainy nvg from skier 2, right?

[cosmic tinsel]

kinda

[whole thistle]

Yeah it's ok tho

[whole thistle]

I used it the other day it's good

[somber rain]

my friend has it and he says that when i turn on my flash light it blinds him

[molten nova]

what can i use RAM for`?

[somber rain]

ah

[whole thistle]

Bruh nvgs with a thermal sight

[somber rain]

would it be worth running on a night raid?

[whole thistle]

Yeah

[somber rain]

i see

[cosmic tinsel]

i pull em up to look for cultists

[whole thistle]

The skier 2 night vision is 30k @somber rain

[somber rain]

last night i did a night raid with a quakemaker mpx

i was beanin scavs

got 6 scavs and got polikhim hobo done

i just slapped a flashlight on it and it works

[abstract reef]

i ran that for a bunch of night raids to get shoreline and woods quests done, was good enough

[somber rain]

yeah

i have a feeling night raids are best for tasks

no one is trying to chad rush you

its just rats

[cosmic tinsel]

eh

theres still chads at night

[abstract reef]

mostly. i did kill a poor unsuspecting chad on woods once, almost felt bad.

[cosmic tinsel]

im out here tryin to kill cultists

pretty kitted

[bleak crystal]

weird, i am on woods

i think i killed a cultist aswell :p

[somber rain]

rip

[cosmic tinsel]

heck yeah

[bleak crystal]

it had a shuntermans key

it scared me 😦

[cosmic tinsel]

i think thats just shturman

he looks similar lol

[dawn geyser]

Meevo out here using level 1 helmet with Killa armor

[bleak crystal]

he had a hoodie

did i kill the boss then? xD

[cosmic tinsel]

tk fast mt is my bis

ye

[abstract reef]

shturman has hoodie

[whole thistle]

That's shturman

Lmao

[bleak crystal]

i just one tapped him with a shitty .45 ammo

haha

[whole thistle]

He has no helmet

[abstract reef]

45 is good flesh dam

[bleak crystal]

he had golpnik ammo

[cosmic tinsel]

igolnik, yes

should have PS in his svd

[whole thistle]

Also a whole svd

[bleak crystal]

that yea

he had SVD aswell

and AK

[cosmic tinsel]

gopniks are russian... punks?

[bleak crystal]

Killed a boss without knowing.. damn

[cosmic tinsel]

street trash

[whole thistle]

Russian roadmen

[cosmic tinsel]

yeeee

[somber rain]

would it be worth leg metaing shturman

[whole thistle]

No

[somber rain]

or just sniping him

[cosmic tinsel]

no, he doesnt wear armor

[whole thistle]

He has no armor

[somber rain]

killing shturman

[whole thistle]

Yes

[somber rain]

no armor?

and an svds?

shit i could just rush him and laser him

[abstract reef]

his guards fuck though

[whole thistle]

He has guards with good gear

[somber rain]

why do they fuck

shturman guards gay confirmed

[bleak crystal]

he had no guards

[fathom ocean]

When I killed shturman I didnt see a single guard

[abstract reef]

not much to do in the woods by yourselves

[bleak crystal]

atleast i saw none

[whole thistle]

Although if shturman spawns at his tent his guards are usually no where near@somber rain

[somber rain]

tasks and kill scavs

yeah

[bleak crystal]

Shturman was near a truck

on woods, near the ritual aswell

Just assumed it was a cultist

[whole thistle]

He must've wandered out there lol

[cosmic tinsel]

he does that now

gets much closer to the circle

they definitely changed his fencing this wipe

[abstract reef]

he also goes across the road north by the big rock

[bleak crystal]

He shot me once and he just blacked my arm :p

[abstract reef]

he usually blacks out my face

[whole thistle]

Lucky lmao

[whole thistle]

^

[bleak crystal]

hahaha

[abstract reef]

since when do normal ass scavs wear thor armor and gzhel

found one of each this raid

[whole thistle]

I've seen the gzhel on a scav before

[abstract reef]

sorry not thor

[fathom ocean]

Yeah bruh I killed a scav with gzhel too that shit was weird asf

[cosmic tinsel]

ive only seen it this wipe

[abstract reef]

the black t4 armor

[whole thistle]

Thors are trash tho so that's normal

[cosmic tinsel]

and everyone told me scavs have had gzhels forever

[somber rain]

how hard is woods at night

[cosmic tinsel]

so 🤷‍♂️

[abstract reef]

oh yea, was thor. upgraded paca.

[abstract reef]

i never ran into a cultist, but can be a pain to see normal scavs through brush

[bleak crystal]

woods at night is very scary

[abstract reef]

what's wrong with them compared to like trooper or something

[bleak crystal]

but you never find anyone, so its usually jsut free money

[whole thistle]

35 durability

[somber rain]

so just run a ratnik with nvg on night raid and im gamin?

[abstract reef]

yea

[somber rain]

also, how do sights look through a thermal

[whole thistle]

How did it go

[abstract reef]

use a dot, not a holo

[somber rain]

i didnt run it

[abstract reef]

holo will give glare

[somber rain]

ok

[whole thistle]

Oh lol

[somber rain]

so the cobra will be fine?

[bleak crystal]

i am using 6B47 with a NV

[abstract reef]

yea thats what i used

[somber rain]

alright

[bleak crystal]

does the job very well

[whole thistle]

Some are horrible some are ok

EIther way they glare a bit

[bleak crystal]

should i use the shturmans key

[somber rain]

so sks+cobra+nvg=good times on woods?

[bleak crystal]

ya

[whole thistle]

Maybe

[whole thistle]

Yeah

I've been used a Kobra with night vision

[somber rain]

that kit'll cost me about 60k

right?

[bleak crystal]

In like.. almost 10 raids on woosd at night, i have never encountered anyone

[somber rain]

what about scavs

[bleak crystal]

its just profit aslways

[somber rain]

any scavs?

[bleak crystal]

scavs from time to time

[somber rain]

alright

[bleak crystal]

but they are easy to kill

[somber rain]

also, for killing scavs without body armor, can i bring a body armor and a backpack, take off the armor when i see a scav and kill it, and then put it back on?

[cosmic tinsel]

yep 😄

[somber rain]

lmao epic

[light lynx]

anybody playing right now that wants to squad up?

[broken zealot]

EU? @light lynx

[bleak crystal]

wait, isn't igolnik ammo 2k each?

its selling like, 900 each

[light lynx]

NA

[light lynx]

NA

[agile nacelle]

Im NA but only level 1

[whole thistle]

Pro

[agile nacelle]

^

[sterile merlin]

is sp7 ammo good?

[bleak crystal]

OH GOD

cultists

[swift scaffold]

anyone know where a key tool spawns

[whole thistle]

Not good but good for 9x18

[whole thistle]

Marked rooms

That's kinda it

[rough scarab]

is the event on shoreline still going

[whole thistle]

Apparently

[swift scaffold]

thank you

[wary valley]

Woods night is all profit till u meet the cultists

Xd

[warm junco]

HOW DOES THE ALTYN BLOCK 1K DAMAGE

[cosmic tinsel]

you're probably shooting flesh damage ammo

[sly saddle]

what bullets were you using?

[wary valley]

Yup

[cosmic tinsel]

i'd also guess you werent hitting all helmet, frankly

25 hits to helmet should do enough blunt dmg to kill

[bold kernel]

whats the best map to farm scavs i wanna get to lvl 20 fast

[bleak crystal]

Do cultists throw nade?

[cosmic tinsel]

yes

[wary valley]

Labd @bold kernel

[bleak crystal]

fucking hell

[wary valley]

Xd

[bleak crystal]

i was looting a cultist and saw two nades landing on me

jesus

[wary valley]

U got knifed?

[cosmic tinsel]

whatever map you're best at. i find a ton of scavs on reserve

[bold kernel]

are there a lot of pmc there?

[cosmic tinsel]

no hes trolling

[wary valley]

@bold kernel yes

Hey its good xp

[bold kernel]

even if i die?

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, it might be new behavior. ive started hunting cultists for the quests and thought it was players at first, but cultists have definitely sent grenades at me

[cosmic tinsel]

labs is way too dangerous for someone asking how to farm scavs pre-20. go reserve or factory

[bold kernel]

ok cause i only get around 4-5 in customs

[warm junco]

idk, i was a scav with a kedr

[abstract reef]

do sanitar and his guards have a billion nades? last few times on shoreline i heard like 20 explosions back to back

[cosmic tinsel]

kedrs always go legs

[abstract reef]

or do people bring a ridiculous amount to kill them

[cosmic tinsel]

ye

[cosmic tinsel]

this too

[warm junco]

alright thanks

noted

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, 9x18 is a pretty junky ammo

props for surviving long enough to land 25 hits

[wary valley]

Reserve and factory is a pretty shit suggestion to farming scavs too

[abstract reef]

a good run on customs, woods, shoreline can get you ~10 scavs

[sly saddle]

ya that explains a lot, although i doubt you actually did any dmg to his head

[warm junco]

probably not

but he was so trash

[sly saddle]

i feel ya

[warm junco]

he should've killed me before i put 50 bullets out of my mags

reloaded like 4 times

ran out of ammo

otherwise i might would've killed him

had a very successful pmc factory run

went in with a m870 ssh helmet and a paca

[granite ledge]

anyone willing to run a new guy around? like NEW new, like bought it 2 days ago new

[warm junco]

came back with this

holy shit just realized he had class 5 armor

[granite ledge]

is this the channel where beginners get assistance, or is that beginners chat

[whole thistle]

Either one works

[sly saddle]

depends, whats your question??

[granite ledge]

im looking to get in a group and raid and learn

[sly saddle]

lots of good peeps in Beginners Assistance if you looking to learn but then again it can be a mix bag at times

[granite ledge]

ok so go there to get groups/

?

or this is it

[high mason]

You should just head over to #pvp-lfg and jump into a group

[granite ledge]

every group i join is like "lets do reserve omg keep up"

[high mason]

Or... scroll down through the open voice channel on whatever map you want to play and jump into a lobby that isn't full

[granite ledge]

and im like "i started 2 days ago i dont even know which direction you went omg someone shot me"

[final jewel]

So I got like 3 phased element arrays

I'm miles away from solar panel, whom do I sell them to?

[sly saddle]

you might want to take a session with a BSG Sherpa, if im free later on i can walk you through the basics of the game. Got work till 8pm tonight.

[wispy marten]

flea market

[final jewel]

I'm level 18 tho, sadge

[wispy marten]

better to keep them and wait still

almost 400k on flea but only 100k to traders

[spring plover]

When buying guns, do you want to buy them from the flea at 100 percent durability

[final jewel]

I have 2 tank batteries as well but I'm buying Beta with one and disassembling the second.

[bold kernel]

does anyone know what part of the map i'm on in customs i'm next to a tent in the forest

[spring plover]

i cant find 308 ammo in the balistic chart, any idea why

[strong turtle]

i am trying to learn the woods map

[granite ledge]

yeah i signed up on the website for a sherpa, havent heard anything yet

[strong turtle]

i cant get ANY orientation where i am

so where is the sunken church

exactly

north side? south?

[royal saddle]

Southeast

[bold kernel]

i just moved to where a bunch of trains are derailed in customs, is this main b ridge?

[strong turtle]

nah it seems north

by abandoned voil;lage i guess

[royal saddle]

Do you mean the church in the swamp?

[sly saddle]

you know there is a Tarkov Sherpa Discord right?? Its called Sherpa Hub and if you want to open a ticket there let me know i will send you a discord invite

[strong turtle]

there is a church in a swap

or lake i guess

this is my 2nd time on the map offline and i couldnt figure out anything the first time

gave up

[granite ledge]

yeah thatd be great thanks

[strong turtle]

same thing happening right now

i have been running for like 8 minutes straight i cant figure out at all where i am

i think im just not going to play woods at all seems terrible

[sly saddle]

https://discord.gg/b4XyMccW

[cosmic tinsel]

you can also !sherpahub in this discord if it makes life easier fwiw

[sly saddle]

Hope this helps you on your EFT journey

[strong turtle]

i just need to figure out how to

traverse the map

so massive mountain is north?

[short nova]

is the shoreline event over??

[abstract reef]

do you not have compass yet?

just keep a map open on hte side while you play if you have another monitor, or on your phone or something

https://eftmaps.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/woods.png

you're at scav bridge

[rich kiln]

is this a quest item?

[abstract reef]

eventually

3x

er 2

[shadow lynx]

Random question when it comes to servers should I choose one or multiple

[merry prism]

whats the best way to make money, cause I seem to be losing it faster than i can make it back

[sterile merlin]

honestly the best way thats worked for me so far is to just run scav runs and sell everything

[abstract reef]

scav

[sterile merlin]

scav runs are you friend

[sly saddle]

theres a lot of dif ways of making money in this game, the safest would be to run ytour scav ever 15 min

[merry prism]

that requires living lol

i always get killed by another player scav

should i just kill everything on sight

[sterile merlin]

NO!

[sly saddle]

maps matter, i guess................whats your fav map @merry prism ?

[sterile merlin]

you'll end up with a 30 min timer like me

[merry prism]

I like woods

[rich kiln]

do the wiggle

[sterile merlin]

i'd say start with interchange and learn where the stuff is there, thats a good way to make money

customs is also good too

[merry prism]

but my first map i learned sort of is customs

[whole thistle]

Lol

[merry prism]

no they run up while i wiggle and shoot me in the face

[sterile merlin]

the key is learning all the spawns for loot and then running through fast af

[sly saddle]

try night time scaving on woods should be mostly quiet

[bold kernel]

No

Unless you have like a red keycard in your scavs inventory

The way I do it is

[merry prism]

anyone want to play some woods

[whole thistle]

You just need to do a better job at announcing yourself as a scav

[merry prism]

i have the ZB-014 key on my pmc in the safe box usually and some cash for the vechicle ex

[high mason]

Hey chunk, I could show you the interchange stash routes... makes good money as a scav.. I survive like 90% of the time at least

[whole thistle]

Press F1 a few times and knife the air

[sterile merlin]

chunk if youre on later i'll see about running you through some scav runs

[merry prism]

sure ill play some interchange, but ive never played that map before

[bold kernel]

If you have a rly hard to get quest objective or loot worth more than 900k+ kill people if they follow you, if not, I rather die than take the karma penalty

that’s the way I play tho

[high mason]

shoot me a DM

[supple seal]

Is anyone else having problems loading the official eft page? My friend got me a key and helped me set up an account but I can't get onto the site to install the game itself. I tried to load the site about 12 hours ago but it didn't work then either.

[high mason]

Same

[merry prism]

@high mason i sent you a f/r cause it wont let me pm you

[whole thistle]

Use mobile data or a VPN, it's an ISP issue

[steel zephyr]

M62 VS 7.62 BP for SBIH?

[supple seal]

i tried to use mobile data and it still didn't work is there anything else I could try

[royal saddle]

Giy who is stuck on woods. I'm on rn so I can run you through it. I'm pretty new but Woods has been my go to so I have my bearings mostly

[whole thistle]

A VPN

[supple seal]

ok ty

[candid tundra]

is the reshala shorline event over

[bold kernel]

I’d go with M61 because of the higher pen and it goes faster

[whole thistle]

Haven't heard anything about it stopping

[steel zephyr]

okay word thanks

[whole thistle]

Twacew

[bold kernel]

Then 993

Also tracers allow you to make your shots better

you can see where the bullet went

but the downside is people do have an idea of where you are

also M62 is the tracer iirc I don’t believe m61 is

[abstract reef]

what's a reasonable amount of recoil for a 7.62 automatic?

[cosmic tinsel]

sub 60

[cosmic tinsel]

this is correct

[whole thistle]

I usually aim for 80

[bold kernel]

Whatever your comfortable with, sub 80 is good

Are you talking abt 7.62x39 or 7.62x51?

[brisk stag]
