[cosmic tinsel]

im missing 3 items, and 21 levels

[whole thistle]

Only like 5 million more xp, not too much

[cosmic tinsel]

[tranquil plover]

Streamer only item

[cosmic tinsel]

hopin they keep adding late game quests

that give tons of xp

but we seeeee

[whole thistle]

Daily quests pls

[tranquil plover]

More gunsmith tacks please

[whole thistle]

Are you gonna do the choice bro 😳

[cosmic tinsel]

i cant

i sold it already lmao

[runic patio]

I have all level 1 traders and no flea market, what ammo type is best that i can purchase infinitely?

[whole thistle]

[cosmic tinsel]

762x39 PS or 7mm buck

[tranquil plover]

Pst

Gud

[cosmic tinsel]

there was no reason to keep it!

[tranquil plover]

For 9 19

[whole thistle]

Ps

[runic patio]

9x19 pst, 7.62 ps, shotguns

[whole thistle]

[runic patio]

okay thankyou

[runic patio]

Is there a way to consistently have full auto 7.62 aks?

Other than buying from fence, he expensive

[cosmic tinsel]

i'm not sure what prapor has off the top of my head

i do know that full auto 762 aks are gonna kick like a mule

[runic patio]

He has the dogshit semi auto ak

[whole thistle]

Prs

[cosmic tinsel]

i usually encourage people to do SKS or the 762 VPO

[whole thistle]

Goshan (karr) tushonka trade

[tranquil plover]

Semi auto AK is not dogshit

[runic patio]

SKS i’ve been running most already, but the iron sights aren’t beautiful

[tranquil plover]

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah

early game options are sparse

[runic patio]

Really? i assumed it was terrible

[whole thistle]

Then put a sight on it

[tough mountain]

ya semi auto ak good man

[runic patio]

Idk how, i youtube it

[whole thistle]

Get an op sks

Use a dovetail sight from prapor

[tough mountain]

yeah you need a specific sks mount

[runic patio]

Game has so much fuckin depth with weapon customisation

[tough mountain]

its real life man

[whole thistle]

This game is too good I can't handle it

[runic patio]

OP SKS is hard to get at noob lvl bro

[tranquil plover]

Right click the gun, do linked search

[tough mountain]

if you know how things work, it makes more sense but ya overwhelming to start for sure

does linked search work for less than lvl 20s?

[runic patio]

I’ve only just learned how crazy of a difference ammo types make

[tough mountain]

oh ya

[cosmic tinsel]

huge deal

[tough mountain]

life and death

[cosmic tinsel]

yes, added recently

[runic patio]

Can have the same caliber but completely different jobs

[tough mountain]

thats important

[runic patio]

shits crazy

[tough mountain]

gotcha thanks @cosmic tinsel

[runic patio]

And i learned leg meta, i think that might be the way to go early game but idrk

[tough mountain]

ya many different types of same calibver

[whole thistle]

Yeah, the wiki has a chart and eft monster has a graph you can check it in those

[runic patio]

I found the wiki chart! thankyou

[tough mountain]

hahaah leg meta ya that is a thing too

[whole thistle]

You can't really but leg mega ammo early on

[tranquil plover]

Early game don't leg meta if you cannot aim

[whole thistle]

Besides prs

[tough mountain]

ya i cant leg anyone personally

[cosmic tinsel]

requires a lot of shots, usually

[tough mountain]

never seem to be able to do it\

[cosmic tinsel]

i can, but... id rather not

[tranquil plover]

Especially with sks

[tough mountain]

makes sense lol

[runic patio]

I can aim fine, but im needing so many fucking bullets to hit these guys with the fat armour

[ripe totem]

Dmr is the option for u

[cosmic tinsel]

then go for it. or go face

[ripe totem]

Rfb is nice flesh and pen

[tough mountain]

need bigger calibers and AP

get AP and a mosin

[tranquil plover]

Hunter

[tough mountain]

good shots there usually do the trick

but takes lots of practice

[tranquil plover]

Vepr Hunter with m62

Make Chads cry

[tough mountain]

love the vepr

good rifle

whats everyones levels in here

i think im 13

[cosmic tinsel]

why m62 tho :/

[whole thistle]

I wonder

[tough mountain]

you i see lol

[cosmic tinsel]

51

[tough mountain]

dang nice

pay respect to uncle general sam

love that

[tranquil plover]

M61 I meant

[cosmic tinsel]

perfect

m80s great too

m62 is just overpriced m80

[tranquil plover]

I am 28. I need 30 to max my workshop

And I am out of gunsmith tasks

[whole thistle]

Then do normal tasks

[tranquil plover]

😫

[digital sable]

Is Vephr hunter still a good choice for going budget? I know it used to be great to buy it off the flea like 25k, but with scav weapon durability you probably need to buy a brand new one for accuracy, right?

[tranquil plover]

Stinky

Gunsmith is literally xp gold mine

Need more free xp

[whole thistle]

Yeah get a good durability one or get an rfb

[digital sable]

Yeah I figure may as well go RFB if Hunter is no longer dirt cheap

[cosmic tinsel]

hunter was like 12k the other day

on flea

[digital sable]

For full durability tho?

[cosmic tinsel]

hell no

[copper trellis]

Is it just generally a bad idea to use scav weapons

[cosmic tinsel]

nah, only if you're trying to snipe

[whole thistle]

If you plan to shoot past 40 meters then yeah

[digital sable]

I guess a cheap broken Hunter could be good for ratting

[cosmic tinsel]

yep

[digital sable]

Beats a pistol at least

[tranquil plover]

Pistol is based wtf

[whole thistle]

imagine
This post was made by kedr gang

[digital sable]

Pistol price to punch through armor up close is pretty cool

[tranquil plover]

All it takes is 1 to 3 well aimed shot to kill a Chad with pistol

Mostly

Do not attempt on altyn

[digital sable]

But it only takes 1 to 3 kinda ok shots to kill a chad with Vephr Hunter

[cinder dragon]

guys i found a Devtac Ronin Ballistic helmet

what do i do with it>

i could sell

[merry dust]

Sell

To ragman

[wary valley]

Use it and become a labs chad

[whole thistle]

That's shattered mask not ronin

Ronin sucks dick

[wary valley]

Oh

[merry dust]

Ronin is shit

shattered chad

[bold kernel]

im guessing scav karma is just pointless because all these player scavs keep killing me

[polar scroll]

ayy which 762 ak is the best ? 103, 104, akms, akmn, akm ?

[whole thistle]

No they're just dumb

[bold kernel]

Hi, so I am new to the game but I am having issues with long load times. it ranges between 10 to 12 mins to load then I get disconnected from the server. I meet the requirements for the game so i don't understand why this is happening. any help would be appreciated as I am unable to really play the game in this state.

[whole thistle]

Is your game crashing or are you disconnecting

[bold kernel]

I am disconnecting, but i have good internet so i don't think that is the problem.

[whole thistle]

Go to the launcher and check what servers you're on

It has a ping thing next to them

[bold kernel]

I have already manually selected servers that have under 100 ping. most are under 50.

[whole thistle]

Maybe servers are just being weird rn

[fast dragon]

hi guys, i need some help. i bought the game 1 month ago or lil bit more. now i wanted to play the game, they signed me out of "escape form tarkov" launcher, and when i try to sign in again it says "email not found" what to do plz help

[whole thistle]

Go to your email and try to find some record of buying tarkov and send that to support

[green delta]

It also could be the servers are down for maintenance. I’ve had it unable to be signed in during such a time

[whole thistle]

Oh yeah I think there's some maintenance today

[tame hedge]

is this rare ?

just found it?

[whole thistle]

@fast dragon Has this been going on for a while

[mellow matrix]

yea

[whole thistle]

Yeah

[whole thistle]

Couple million rubers in the market @tame hedge

[whole thistle]

Tbf it was added this wipe

[tame hedge]

first wipe and just found it in a scav raid

[mellow matrix]

oh okay lol

[whole thistle]

I wanna get one just because it's the sigma armband

[tame hedge]

i got 132 hours and got so much stuff well to me its alot idk if it is to anyone else but this game is so good man

[mellow matrix]

...

i recently uninstalled lol

[whole thistle]

Bru

[mellow matrix]

nice hitreg it has

[whole thistle]

How much damage did you do tho

[mellow matrix]

[bold kernel]

Can someone confirm the quest "the choice" being in the game

[small thistle]

Ah now i see

[whole thistle]

It's there

[bold kernel]

Yup i see

[whole thistle]

Lol

[bold kernel]

Is there some way to rush to that lvl?

[whole thistle]

Labs I guess

[fast dragon]

i wrote an email to the support. im waiting their answer...

[whole thistle]

That's how everyone does it

@fast dragon did you try logging in before

Or just today

[fast dragon]

im actually always signed in on this pc. but today they signed me out and it says now "email not found"

[whole thistle]

Oh some people have been having login issues today

Might be that

I saw someone else in chat who got logged out and an error when they tried to log back in

[fast dragon]

yeah, exactly. same happened to me

[whole thistle]

Either way whether your account is fucked up or it's just servers being weird you'll get it fixed probably

[fast dragon]

what does my account is fucked up mean xD

i just bought the game recently. can I get banned to being so noob?

[whole thistle]

I mean if they messed up your email or something

[fast dragon]

but if this really happened, the support can help me right?

[whole thistle]

Most likely

[fast dragon]

i hope, cuz i bought the game even though i was sure, that the first couple months gonna be hard for me as a new player in this game xD

[honest gulch]

is this valid for my first wipe

[tranquil shore]

That just means that you farmed Tagilla?

[honest gulch]

I barely go factory

[coral junco]

sup

1 more pmc kill with pistol

[fading violet]

is there a way for this tactical device to be IR light only? It seems like the only two options are laser or laser + IR

[fathom ocean]

How do you barely go factory but have multiple Tagilla masks 😂

[honest gulch]

ive only gone 7 times this wipe?

[fading violet]

are you trying to get complimented or what

don't know what you are trying to achieve here lol

[honest gulch]

i was asking if that was valid

cuz this my first wipe

[fathom ocean]

Yeah you valid

[fading violet]

why are you seeking validation from random strangers on discord

if you think you are doing good then you are doing good

[honest gulch]

cuz its hot

makes me bricked

[fading violet]

sounds very insecure

[honest gulch]

not at all

but is the veritas guitar pick good

[fathom ocean]

Sell it

To the rapist

[honest gulch]

alr

[limber notch]

Should I use ledx I got for med 3?

[fathom ocean]

[limber notch]

Medstation 3

[fathom ocean]

Use it?

[limber notch]

[limber notch]

[runic patio]

[runic patio]

[whole thistle]

Ctrl t

[hollow current]

worst time to start this game, everybody is god tier

[dawn geyser]

eh

[merry dust]

eh?

not really

[dawn geyser]

not quite yet

[hollow current]

😄

getting my ass whooped quite nice 😄

[whole thistle]

At least starting late wipe means if you're lucky you'll get a nasty kit off the start

[dawn geyser]

It gives much easier access to upgrade hideout when you hit 20 as well

Things that would normally cost 150k cost like 40k now

[whole thistle]

^

[coral junco]

I found it

Intel

Lol crack hours

[hollow current]

anybody up for some newcommer rounds i learn quick! english / german 🙂

[coral junco]

Does it have to be found in raid for intelligence center

Upgrade

[dawn geyser]

Nope~

[coral junco]

L

Ok*

[dawn geyser]

wait

No

I misread it

@coral junco

Sorry lol

[unreal rapids]

anyone who has the "Keycard with a blue marking" and wanna do a labs run?

[wary valley]

just kill big man sanitar xd

[hallow orchid]

Hi, i'm level 9 and I'm having trouble with the search mission task on woods, I have the mapgenie but I can never find my way out. I was wondering if anyone would like to help me with the quest as i've died 5 times with the tasks completed, its getting a bit fustrating simply because I just don't know where i am

[bold kernel]

its literally 110k

[wary valley]

i can help but i cannot talk

[unreal rapids]

the one the flea market is listed for 300k

[bold kernel]

oh nvm then

[frigid badger]

helloo, im in serious need of help. im level 17 trying to do my quests and whatnot trying to get to 20 but with the quests im starting to get it seems impossible. i get domed literally every time i go reserve, i get spawn killed no joke, every single interchange raid ive been on this wipe. and its literally making me not be able to level up or do quests at all. if anybody wants to help me it'd be greatly appreciated!!!

[bold kernel]

#pvp-lfg

[frigid badger]

thanks sorry

[unreal rapids]

there was like 10-20 keycards listed 30 mins ago

[hallow orchid]

sure, as long as you can lead me around that'd be good, I can't play rn tho

[coral junco]

Wait

What

If it’s not found in raid I can’t use it

[dawn geyser]

You're talking for hideout intel center right?

You can

[coral junco]

Ok good

I need 2 more 😭

[wild gyro]

Does anyone know if there are known issues with the installer? I just came home from leaving EFT on install after not playing for a while, came back to an error message about how the downloaded installation file was already in process, restarted the launcher and now it wants me to redownload the whole game again, while the full 12gb file to install it is in the temp folder?

[bold kernel]

am i just unlucky or did they hidden buff stashes

ive legit ran into slick boys 6 raids in a row doing interchange stashes

first day ive had any issues

[bold kernel]

bad day

Happens to the best of us bro

[fading violet]

interchange is the hottest map for stash runs

go shoreline or woods bro

[bold kernel]

Also hidden stashes are alright for streamer items so people might be running them for that

Ive gotten a GPU out of a stash this wipe lol

They are like playing the lottery every time you open them

yeah just sucks, been doing this for like 5-6 days now and ive only had like 12 fights. today its 6 heavily geared guys blasting m61

[coral junco]

ima go factory for my last pistol kill

be a rat

dont even know the map

[bold kernel]

alot of people run naked on factory anyways

shouldnt be bad

[wary valley]

time to go traumatized some people with the ks-23 and a mosin

[coral junco]

mk

[wary valley]

star rounds are expensive sheesh

[coral junco]

finsihed pmc kills

ez

[bold kernel]

gonna be honest most people in this game are shit

like their aim is ass most of the time

[velvet blade]

is flashlight on a helmet worth it? (or is it possible in the first place)

[serene reef]

is what

[bold kernel]

just put on gun

[serene reef]

it's a thing that MIGHT be implemented

was talked about in one of the podcasts

might be soon-ish who knows

but as mangler said

just put one ona gun

ctrl t to toggle mode t to switch on

[bold kernel]

one on your helmet is just telling people where to headshot u

[serene reef]

that's why you dont wear glasses when its dark

cause they shiny

is this just giving away guns?

xD

[bold kernel]

lol

i want flea market

[coral junco]

i extracted yay

[serene reef]

gj ^^

[coral junco]

first factory run

quest done cus some dude doesnt know how to loot

[bold kernel]

i havent went on reserve or factory as pmc yet

[coral junco]

same

reserve i have

for quest but i havnt finished it yet

[serene reef]

lmaoo i scared someone to death xD

[coral junco]

i need to mark 1 more tjing

[serene reef]

i also messed up lmao

[coral junco]

i have SO MUCH sugar

like 10-15 sugars

i need flee tho,

level 18 but 2000 xp till 19

[serene reef]

i had

a lot of sugar

i mean

like 80% of a holodnick

xD

[coral junco]

lol

[serene reef]

:/

2 rows gone aleady smh

[bleak crystal]

5.45x39 any good?

[coral junco]

damnn

u rich

[serene reef]

scav karma

literally 3in a row

sa58 sa58 and svds

all had a labs keycard

[velvet blade]

I forgot the lab card in my docs case, and now it's not FiR 🙂

good way to start my day

[serene reef]

BT BS PPBS pierces t4 armor initially

people complain it deals little flesh damage

[bleak crystal]

I managed to kill the boss on customs

[serene reef]

but i like it personally

[bleak crystal]

but died to a scav because BP ammo didnt do enough damage :p

[velvet blade]

just a tip if you're practicing labs offline, put the keycard in a very obvious place like bag or rig so you see it and take it out

[serene reef]

yeah bp doesnt pierce t4

initially

[bleak crystal]

Ah

which ammo should i take then?

[serene reef]

which means he tanks few shots to the chest

BT+

cause t4 is REALLY common

especially with scav karma

[bleak crystal]

people complain that 5.45x39 isn't even good for some reason

[serene reef]

this high

ikr?

it's you who's bad

unless youre complaining cause you couldnt pen a slick

[bleak crystal]

i dont think its bad, especially when i bring BP aswell

[serene reef]

then it's justified

[bleak crystal]

which doesnt help

[serene reef]

other ammo like MAI AP goes through 6 no?

[bleak crystal]

but i do think BT could have helped there

[serene reef]

i always go for BT BS

[bleak crystal]

Also

the boss always have atlyn yea?

[serene reef]

i dont try to conserve or cut costs when it comes to ammo

[bleak crystal]

cause i killed some scav with atlyn helmet

[serene reef]

%

[bleak crystal]

or the boss

[serene reef]

can be 0

can be even 3 or 4

p sure

reshala

on customs

[bleak crystal]

I see

[serene reef]

doesnt have any armor

only guards

[bleak crystal]

it was on fortress

[serene reef]

yeah reshala doesnt wear armor

just fyi tho

bosses and guards have more hp

than pmcs

[bleak crystal]

Yeah... was hard killing that guard i guess

had blacked arm and missed most of my shots

[serene reef]

time to scare people brb

[bold kernel]

can i trade with someone plz

havent checked is reshala on customs again yet

i need a mag but im too low to buy it

[coral junco]

i need dorms 303 😭

for quest

[bold kernel]

therapist barter if u need it

[coral junco]

[bold kernel]

[coral junco]

[atomic walrus]

Whats the lowest recoil you can get with the m4?

[bold kernel]

what dont i need?

[serene reef]

LVL?

[bold kernel]

12

[serene reef]

damn im too tired for this

https://tarkov-market.com/item/car_battery

just use tarkov market

👍

it will tell you if you need something later and you can check if flea value is close to vendor value

[hollow current]

can you do quest with scavs missions ?

[bold kernel]

no

unless its finding items

[serene reef]

yeah

if you need to pick up a quest item

like documents

you can't

if you need to find salewas

it doesnt matter where they come from as long as they're FIR

means crafted counts too

[hollow current]

i have to get to jeager hideout first mission i believe

[bold kernel]

does it still produce with power off?

[velvet blade]

@bold kernel it says producing 😄

[bold kernel]

yea but if i go into a raid does it notice the power is off?

[velvet blade]

It will continue producing even without power at all times. No need to over-complicate it.

[bold kernel]

o

are marked rooms worth to go to?

[merry dust]

yes

[cosmic tinsel]

except pkpm

[serene reef]

am i hidden enough?

[karmic lotus]

anyone know where to find thermite

[cosmic tinsel]

you probably dont need an ammo case rn

but the back of interchange (behind goshan + back of oli) is best

[merry dust]

combustible spawns

[cosmic tinsel]

combustible spawns indeed

anywhere you see fuel

[merry dust]

is where thermite can be

[cosmic tinsel]

or fuelcon, or dryfuel

[bold kernel]

are unknown rewards random?

[serene reef]

p sure they're not

check the quest on wiki

[cosmic tinsel]

no

they're just hidden from you

they're all on wiki, to softs point

[bold kernel]

o

[merry dust]

should i

[serene reef]

YES

[lusty glacier]

diiiing~

[eager grail]

Looking for someone to teach me reserves. If interested DM me

[merry dust]

POG

[velvet blade]

not so pog

I once extracted from woods with 2 or 3 sugars

that's pog :p

[mental zenith]

can someone help me with well everything i just downloaded and im real confused

dm me plz

[velvet blade]

I really recommend watching Pestily's beginner videos they'll clear up most stuff first

Make sure you're not watching an awfully old video, could be outdated

(The beta was released in 2017 as a reference)

anyone know where the machinery key is

neat

[merry prism]

thanks

[bold kernel]

should i sell any of this?

[cosmic tinsel]

we marked up like half of this this morning!

[bold kernel]

yes

i got more

:(

[cosmic tinsel]

use the wiki to figure out what you need still

[velvet blade]

@bold kernel wiki each and every item, see which quests or hideout upgrades are needed, and sell what's not needed. Also FiR matters (like that non FiR GPU)

[cosmic tinsel]

keep everything that we flagged to keep

[velvet blade]

it's the same answer, use wiki 😄 I personally use wiki to decide what to keep

[cosmic tinsel]

for anything new, check against wiki, see what you need relative to quests + hideout

[velvet blade]

I can wiki an item like 5 items a week because I just don't remember these trivial pieces of information, and I think not many people do

im going factory whats a good gun for it

[cosmic tinsel]

or tarkov-market

[serene reef]

use tarkov market instead

[cosmic tinsel]

i use wiki lol

[serene reef]

:D

xD

[velvet blade]

SMGs

[bold kernel]

is ppsh ok

[serene reef]

yes but if they have armor aim for legs lmao

[[Ballistics]]

[rough scarab]

not really if you arent meming

[broken quail]

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

[velvet blade]

I think wiki is better than tarkov market. There's that tiny piece of information of when and what quests will give you that item, it's not on tarkov market

[bold kernel]

alright

[uneven knoll]

what should I be upgrading in my hideout first and what should I aim for getting early game

[serene reef]

TT ammo is REALLY bad

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rough scarab]

yea

[velvet blade]

I emptied an AKBS mag on a scav's thorax and I was just tickling him

only HS with pistols bruh

[serene reef]

50 dmg = 9 shots to legs

ppsh = 1000rp

16 and 2/3 rounds / sec

[bold kernel]

i remember when i first played this game and i shot someone in the head like 6 times and they didnt die

my friend quit the game after that

[serene reef]

about half a sec

to kill

:O

[hard field]

how do i get the jeager quest?

[bold kernel]

accept gunsmith

from mech

and it pops up

[hard field]

ah yea

it did not show up for some reason

restarted the game and now its there

[bold kernel]

never had a flashbang experience in my life but i believe my vision would be ok if i was in a separate room

[brittle harbor]

is the bitcoin farm still worth building?

i heard they were the thing last wipe

what about now?

[cosmic tinsel]

probably not

but most of us still do em

[brittle harbor]

im trusting you but only because you use sp5

[cosmic tinsel]

thanks fam

[brittle harbor]

thanks for the info

[cosmic tinsel]

the longer answer is

the math is really fuckin complicated

and theres a ton of subjective considerations (how much do you craft, how much do you play, etc)

im getting more cash from btc than im spending in fuel, but not by a ton

and i havent even begun to look into how much fixed cost i put into it. i planned ahead and bought most of my gpus at ~200k

[golden hearth]

what is the best way to get started in game? i just keep dying, and can't get anymore weapons

[tardy garnet]

It's a bit more complex than that. There's multiple layers of knowledge that go into the game, are you scaving every time its up since you're low on gear (and im assuming cash?)

[golden hearth]

i have never seen it up. i've just been joining the random places and hoping for the best lol

[tardy garnet]

Yep. thats not very smart since at the start of the game, most peoples will actively look at spawn locations to hunt people or go through prediction paths to meet up with people to kill.

[golden hearth]

do we have any resources that explain all that?

[tardy garnet]

^ this video wont explain much of what I am talking about, but it explains probably atleast a majority of layer 1

Pestily vid might explain a few layers

[bold kernel]

factory is shit map

[cosmic tinsel]

start w the boomstick video, and then pestily videos show what a "proper" raid should look like

shaqulas correct but it sounds like you're still trying to get your bearings, so this is probably a good place to start

[fathom ocean]

Yes

[lusty glacier]

been here since 40mins havent seen anyone cross, should i reset or wait?

[cosmic tinsel]

reset at 20

put silencer in your secure container

confirm that your gun has 90+ dura before going into next raid, and think about using something in a semi auto

i dont like stacking sniper skill and sbih, personally

[lusty glacier]

i need suppressed bolt action kills for for tarkov shooter

else id use ak101

[cosmic tinsel]

ah fair

customs was my slowest sbih map by a lot

[lusty glacier]

i thought it'd be easier

got 1 kill the first time i tried it on a whim during random raid

[cosmic tinsel]

not a ton of traffic in long sightlines

and fortress has very limited 100 meter options

despite having tons of 70+ meter options

[rough scarab]

go shoreline if your doing shooter 7

[lusty glacier]

idk how to snipe on shoreline

[rough scarab]

camp the powerstation

or if you get a good spawn camp the shoreline rocks up to resort

[lusty glacier]

camp those from where?

[rough scarab]

depends where you spawn

if you get a good east spawn this would be where you want to watch

[proud plinth]

Would anyone be willing to help me do the escape from the past

im dogshit at factory

[rough scarab]

this would be where you want to sit

the bottom left might be a bit off

[fathom ocean]

Join a 5 man

[proud plinth]

i need to

[lusty glacier]

should i use tac30 or vudu?

[rough scarab]

if you want to camp the powerstation bridge sit somewhere here

these are all common spots as well, any player with map knowledge of shoreline will check most of these spots

[bold kernel]

4th time ive been killed by other player scavs today this shits dumb asf

[velvet blade]

do bolt action scav kills from 40m count with toz?

[bold kernel]

no

[proud plinth]

Sadness

[rough scarab]

no the toz counts as a shotgun

[proud plinth]

that people are that ass

[bold kernel]

if you want a good cheap bolt action rifle, use a vpo 215

the ammo does high flesh damage but is shit for brains against any armor, hence why it is good for scav killing

[cosmic tinsel]

ap-m slaps real good too

[bold kernel]

the ammo is good indeed but the issue with the vpo is that it has terrible moa

even when you fully kit out an ak vpo it still has terrible recoil and ergo

is the survL lighter important?

for kappa

[hard field]

i want to squad up with people on this server, but im scared that ill just get teamkilled at the start and my stuff stolen.

[cosmic tinsel]

no

[bold kernel]

really?

huh

i guess that changed

[cosmic tinsel]

really

no

its never been part of it

and its not part of the expanded list

source: am grinding my 3rd kappa

[bold kernel]

weirdddddd

[merry dust]

level 71

[bold kernel]

im washed

[cosmic tinsel]

why are you recommending the gun then lol

[cosmic tinsel]

im lvl 51

month til baby

we got a dream

[bold kernel]

i said vpo bolt action for tarkov shooter part 1

[cosmic tinsel]

ye

and i said apm was cool

and you were like gun stinks

[merry dust]

chads

absolute chads

[bold kernel]

it does stink

[cosmic tinsel]

LOL

[bold kernel]

but its good for that quest

[velvet blade]

I'm currently at shooter pt 2 though

[cosmic tinsel]

ya

[velvet blade]

is VPO 215 still good for that?

[cosmic tinsel]

the molot + apm fine

sv98+ps great too

[velvet blade]

I went in with a mosin and Ps ammo, shot a scav at his head from 80m and turns out it was a thorax kill... Pretty disgusting to get that result with a fucking mosin, a very accurate sniper rifle

[cosmic tinsel]

sv98 is pretty much strictly better than mosin now imo

[velvet blade]

yeah I'm thinking of running sv 98 and valday, it doesn't shake the gun when you switch valday scopes

[bold kernel]

bolt action guns

[cosmic tinsel]

what guns do you use for tarkov shooter lmao

[bold kernel]

toz

XD

[cosmic tinsel]

not rifled

dont count

[glad basin]

When do you guys recon there will be reset ?

[cosmic tinsel]

jan?

[bold kernel]

bro im kidding

[glad basin]

You mean next Year?

[cosmic tinsel]

...

yes

[velvet blade]

I noticed people are buying ~50 dura sv98s off flea, does dura really not matter for it?

[cosmic tinsel]

it extremely matters

if you're doing more than 20 meters

jam impact is inconsequential imo

[proud plinth]

Anyone free? Looking for a couple dorms keys for tasks
303 and 114

[shrewd hatch]

maybe using it for quests

like bullshit and fishing gear

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah, could be planted, could be 15 meter pmc kills

could be people that dont know better

[tulip whale]

You will usually have more success in #pvp-lfg, hope you find someone that can help!

[velvet blade]

does a compensator also hide flash?

[tulip whale]

No

[rough crag]

Toz actually hurts to use

I was point blank

And when I say point blank

[bold kernel]

Yes a little bit not as much as a suppressor or muzzle boost

or atleast in real life it does

[rough crag]

My gun was getting pushed back against his skill

Shot twice

He didn’t die

[bold kernel]

f

[velvet blade]

@rough crag actually when you're really close, I think you need to point aim a little bit bottom right off the center of the screen, it can be confusing when you're really close but a laser makes it easy

[sterile merlin]

how much does fuel conditioner sell for on the flea atm?

[rough crag]

70

[cosmic tinsel]

likely same as to therapist

[rough crag]

Cap

[sterile merlin]

there are price caps?

[cosmic tinsel]

https://tarkov-market.com/

this will tell you

[sterile merlin]

tyvm

[runic patio]

Yo, any players with big boy traders on eu?

If you could sell the remington choke for gunsmith 1 to fleece and ping me I’ll kiss you

[velvet blade]

does a flashlight blind enough against people running night vision? or it's easier to tell your location?

[south lintel]

What's the 2nd most profitable map. I've heard all about reserve being #1

[velvet blade]

I think Shoreline, or Woods, or maybe they're tied

[cosmic tinsel]

interchange

[south lintel]

Interchange is just really 2 (maybe 3) spots that you must be a Chad to get out.

[cosmic tinsel]

nah

[south lintel]

What's a good run on shoreline?

[cosmic tinsel]

the electronics/kiba route is the most profitable

but offices are viable

tools are viable

stash run

i hate the map, but theres a TON of loot there

[south lintel]

Hmm I've done electronics, offices, and tools but not getting million dollar runs like I've heard.

[cosmic tinsel]

you're only gonna get million dollar runs on any map by chadding and escaping

reserve requires doin raiders, contesting high value keys, or aesa spawns, and then figuring out how to escape

shoreline requires going to resort

woods... doesnt have meaningful loot

[south lintel]

What $$ value is considered a good run

[cosmic tinsel]

customs is all crackhouse/marked orom

10k/slot

the more slots you bring, the more you make

[rough crag]

True

If u get a good spawn

U can run naked to techlight

[south lintel]

Guess I need to go look up some item guides. Assuming most weapon parts are shit

[rough crag]

And get out

[tardy garnet]

do u have RR by any chance?

[rough crag]

Before anyone else gets there

[cosmic tinsel]

weapon parts are frequently $$$

basically every suppressor is high value/slot

a stack of any decent ammo is good

[south lintel]

RR?

[cosmic tinsel]

holos are almost always worth it

[tardy garnet]

Red rebel ice climbing axe (or more so terrain in this case)

[rough crag]

I got a holl.

Holo

And it has like

[south lintel]

Yeah realized holes are nice.

[rough crag]

A zoom thing on it too

Its called HKS

Or smt

[south lintel]

Unfortunately not. That's a good extract for just paracord

10k per slot. See I thought selling like 15 blue tape on market was profitable

[tardy garnet]

If you have RR, you can reliable do a filing cabinet run and make on average 300-500k a raid given you aren't unlucky, and anywhere from 500k-1mil+ if you're lucky and push it a bit and get some rng in. otherwise, you have to go through D2 which, you will make money still but escape is gonna be considerably harder. On the same route there's weapon attachment spawns, and industrial spawns which are good (last I checked bolts were 30k+).

[bold kernel]

whats best armour i can get atm?

[south lintel]

Are there any good mobile apps that I can look at to learn best items to keep?

[tardy garnet]

Uh. More so memory, u can use Tarkov-market on the fly to look up gun parts and just try to remember the #s when u find them again

[velvet blade]

I almost had a heart attack from the loud scav sound bug, he's at least 60m away from me but I heard him just next to me 😦

[lofty yoke]

Could someone experienced help me out? 😅 Pretty new to the game and don't exactly understand this game too well...

[tardy garnet]

Any intention to go more into detail? or is that the general shtick?

[lofty yoke]

I mean- Ye das basically it? I don't really know too much about the game and need help 💀

[rough crag]

U never watched videos before u brought the game or smt

[tardy garnet]

if u just want brief stuff concrete stuff, scroll up and watch the 2 videos in the chat. If you want more hands on type help, dm me and ask some sort of question and I'll answer to my fullest ability I guess.

[bold kernel]

What exactly are you having an issue with?

[lofty yoke]

I've watched a couple videos but I'm kinda dum and would prefer if like... an ACTUAL person told me while in a game with me yk? I guess in short... I want someone to hold my hand and guide me 💀

[potent crater]

is express good / worth running?

[cerulean mantle]

Anyone looking to sherpa me? I'm well off in gunfights just need some help with locations and such

[tardy garnet]

its OKAY. It's pretty much dirt budget Magnum.

[potent crater]

i was thinking 9 pellet face spread would be pretty good?

not face spread

face shot i mean

[tardy garnet]

if ur not using it for the 9 pellets for a bigger chance at a head eyes

magnum is better because it does 15 more damage per pellet

[lucid marsh]

I'm greener than the grass on the other side of the fence. (lvl 2) Anyone have a good spot for me to start?

[tardy garnet]

gonna need a little more detail, some sort of knowledge you're specifically looking for?

[bold kernel]

scav right?

[lucid marsh]

I wanna start ratting in customs but I dont know the layout of anything. Idk where to start since theres zero tutorial

I havent even extracted a PMC. But I did get one extract for a scav

[tardy garnet]

so, if you're that new id say look up a Video on the basics, and I'd like to guide you to https://mapgenie.io/tarkov so u have accurate maps to look at (Disable all icons, until u know the maps more or you're intentionally looking for specific loot)

[velvet blade]

the 40m scav kills are really frustrating.. I've been planning the distance for about 4 minutes, then the scav just simply fucking sees me and blows all my plans away

[potent crater]

yah i would reccomend a pestily map guide

[lucid marsh]

map genie looks like a great start

[potent crater]

why did paper double???

[fathom ocean]

Yeah

[lucid marsh]

i dont currently have a second monitor. and this map tool is great but the phone app is a little iffy. do you have a good companion app for android? or this still the best on mobile?

[fathom ocean]

How much is it?

[potent crater]

20k

[tardy garnet]

Ehm.. it's a bit hard if you only have one monitor, I personally do not have a solution. Other than maybe googleing maps for the game and looking at it on ur phone screen

[fathom ocean]

Awww shit

[potent crater]

what happened and why did it sky rocket?

[velvet blade]

the 98 is much better than mosin for sure

whoops

that 90m headshot is so satisfying

but if I'm struggling with scavs, what am I going to do with SBIH 😦

[fathom ocean]

Not do it

[tardy garnet]

Dont worry about SBIH will get easier, and players are unaware. You wont need to do SBIH for a while if you're level 22 (you use SBIH and Mentor to get Sniper level 10)

[lucid marsh]

thats cool. ill just alt tab until i figure out something better. thanks tho 🙂

[velvet blade]

I agree

[tardy garnet]

if you want I can sherpa you for a bit

[velvet blade]

If I recall, asking for gifts could be against the rules? 🤷‍♂️

[royal spruce]

oh ok my bad

[rough scarab]

then simply wait till you can afford it

[lucid marsh]

im down for that if you got some time

[tardy garnet]

yep u got a mic?

Anybody else here is free to join aswell if they want. Doesn't matter to me how new, and if need be we can stop in raid and I can explain things

[lucid marsh]

sure do. which room you want?

[merry dust]

TAGLLA SCARY

[velvet blade]

damn I think headshots from 40m were much easier than legs... I have no idea how I'll do the legs one

any tips?

oh I could hide under a car prob

[rough scarab]

just shoot them while they stand still

you mean for tarkov shooter right

[velvet blade]

yeah part 2

[rough scarab]

yea it can be scavs

just shoot them when they stand still

make sure your gun has good dura

if you shoot them from the side it can collateral both legs

[bold kernel]

how late into the wipe is it

?

[rough crag]

It’s been like

[velvet blade]

not late, I'd say between early and mid wipe

[rough crag]

^^^

[velvet blade]

I really remember selling a D battery for like 30k (not the green bat), but now it's around 5k... What the absolute fuck happened to its price?!

[lyric yarrow]

anyone wanna sherpa me for a bit?

[rough crag]

Wipe progressed

Less demand

[velvet blade]

yes but it also takes time to unlock flea now

and we're talking about a 3 week price change, from 30k to 5k is this even possible?!

[brisk wharf]

people find so many stuff until they reach level 20 so they dont even buy them anymore

[rough crag]

Yes!

[rough crag]

I’m level 11 and I’m stacked!!!

[fathom ocean]

65 days in

[south lintel]

Is there a way way see price per slot in stash without using cheats? I don't care to see price per item in raid
