beginners-assistance

[hot cobalt]

yeah in backpacks and pockets i think

[velvet blade]

I'm on sniper ridge, 250m between us, sv 98 which has 900 muzzle velocity, Ps ammo also 900 velo... which dot should I aim at? He's not being hit at all

[coral junco]

uh

3rd

bottom

try that

[hallow carbon]

@thin plinth Team killer (inviting people in beginner help and TKing)

nm screenshot is fucked

[velvet blade]

damn none of them hit the scav

[coral junco]

fr

is it going above?

try 2nd top

from middle

[velvet blade]

I tried all of them xd

[coral junco]

damn ok

body or head

[velvet blade]

oh wait WTF the first one worked

I see, I was going for head first, so might have missed

[coral junco]

yea

[bold kernel]

whats better

bear or usec

y

[merry dust]

i choose usec

usec

lul he got muted for spam

LULULULUL

[bold kernel]

funni

k i did usec last time

ima do

ber

cuz

ber cool

o ber doesnt spek englis thats annoying. atlest ppl think ima scav now

[velvet blade]

so if I want a sniper as good as 98, but less frigging loud, DVL is my best option?

[pure mist]

literally that's the point lol bear dont' speak English

[unreal horizon]

You can say "Dickey needles" though

And better clothing

[velvet blade]

snipin' 😎

[whole thistle]

i wish i got these shitter lobbies

[tough marsh]

is Loot Lord valuable?

I heard its for kappa but im nowhere near getting that task

[velvet blade]

it has ~14k slot value

[atomic knoll]

All streamer items are worth something

Except mayo lol

[tough marsh]

do i keep it

[atomic knoll]

It has 1 use for it and u know what it is

[tough marsh]

Does this one item give me the kappa or do i need a lot more items

[atomic knoll]

So your decision

It's one of the many items required for kappa

[tough marsh]

oh fuck that then

i dont play this 24/7 to grind kappa

[atomic knoll]

fyi

u need to hit 71

[tough marsh]

thanks btw

fuck that even more lmao

[velvet blade]

this is a good barter to get the FLIR right? Or there's cheaper ways?

[atomic knoll]

that should be the cheapest way

Hence why it's almost way sold out

[velvet blade]

damn that's an extremely good barter, lots of good attachments

[bold kernel]

i just got a bunch of good gear and get sniped by a scav from 200 meters(not sniper scav btw)

[velvet blade]

do recoil stats on shotguns make any difference whatsoever?

[strong barn]

player scav?

[potent crater]

hey does anyone have semi cheap good guns that arent like meta things so i dont have to sell my kidneys for a a meta M4

[atomic knoll]

What trader levels do u have?

[potent crater]

flea and all 2 nearing three

just need more rep

[velvet blade]

you don't really need a meta gun to land kills, you need to hear first and see first, play tactically

[potent crater]

yah but i dont think some crappy gun will do either

[atomic knoll]

For now then, any high dura gun which can shit out m80

[velvet blade]

people kill pmcs with pp 91 kedr xd

[atomic knoll]

Like rfb, m1a etc

Or if u can afford it, 7.62 MDR

but that's pretty meta and can be expensive

[velvet blade]

just get an AK and put subtle mods on it, it can still help with taking down pmcs

what will mostly differ is the ammo though not the gun

also change your playstyle based on what ammo you're using

[potent crater]

are any shotguns good that dont need super amazing ammo?

basically just not ap-20

[atomic knoll]

All buckshots are good basically

Disregarding toz

[potent crater]

even 7mm????

[velvet blade]

I think the KS-23M is a pmc shredder

[atomic knoll]

Yes

[potent crater]

i mean yah

[potent crater]

really???

[atomic knoll]

ks-23 can 1 shot

[potent crater]

i have only heard of ratting with it

[whole thistle]

yes

its cash

[velvet blade]

yeah it's really popular among shotty lovers 😄

[potent crater]

wait that is a streamer item????

[atomic knoll]

it is

[velvet blade]

just try it in factory with the shrapnel 10 ammo, you'll see results

[sterile merlin]

so is there anything i can do that'll stop me from physically getting the shakes when pvp starts?

LOL I can't calm down enough to shoot back

[potent crater]

died many times

dying

not died

[velvet blade]

how exactly does one use the 23x75mm Zvezda flashbang round?

[sterile merlin]

all i want to do is finish these damn quests and i get atk'd every single freaking time!

[velvet blade]

night raid is your friend

[atomic knoll]

point it at someone and fire

[velvet blade]

but wiki says it deals no damage at all, no flesh, no pen, nothing

[atomic knoll]

It's a flashbang

What do u expect?

[velvet blade]

or do you put for example only 1 shell at the beginning of each ma- wait it's internal

[sterile merlin]

night raid is worse

[velvet blade]

monkaHmm HOW

[sterile merlin]

lol

[velvet blade]

wait being internal doesn't matter, so you go with empty mag, have 1 flashbang shell at top left, and rest beside it then start reloading?

then first shell in the mag will be the flashbang, and all shells do normal damage?

[rough scarab]

Shrap 10 is no where near as good as it used to be

You have to be very close for it to be effective

[velvet blade]

yeah 25 has more pen

[atomic knoll]

pretty much

[rough scarab]

I ate 3 shrap 10 rounds from like 10 meters

Maybe closer

[atomic knoll]

The guy whiffed then

[potent crater]

ks-23 only have 3 round mags?? tf???

[whole thistle]

yes

[cloud rover]

can someone pretty please tell me some good junk i should keep? Trying to sell the rest and clear the space

[atomic knoll]

Why are you surprised when u can 1 shot?

[whole thistle]

the shells are huge

[potent crater]

how is it good???

[whole thistle]

8 projectiles 87 damage per pellet

[potent crater]

but i pop a pmc then get dropped by the others?

[velvet blade]

which pistol is the makarov?

[whole thistle]

you only need one shot per pmc

[potent crater]

wiat what

[whole thistle]

the makarov pm

[velvet blade]

awww

[whole thistle]

people only have 440 health in total and it does 700 damage

one good shot to the leg one taps

[atomic knoll]

....

[potent crater]

jesus fucking christ

[atomic knoll]

I literally said it can 1 shot

[velvet blade]

most shotguns actually

[whole thistle]

yeah or swap to a different gun

[potent crater]

wait with chamber i can get 4 rounds lmao

[atomic knoll]

no shotgun can 1 shot other then ks-23

[whole thistle]

most shotguns cant one shot to the thorax with one pellet

[velvet blade]

what about AP-20 :3

[potent crater]

ap-20?

[whole thistle]

with buckshot?

[atomic knoll]

Ap-20 is random

[whole thistle]

ap 20 does 164 damage and shrap 10 does 700 lol

[atomic knoll]

And depends on the armor the other guy is wearing

Buckshots can't 1 shot

[potent crater]

so is shrapnel best?

[atomic knoll]

With magnum does 8x50

[whole thistle]

shrap 10

[whole thistle]

except for ks23 baby WOOOO

[potent crater]

yah that is what i mean

[atomic knoll]

I did already say except for ks23

[whole thistle]

ik its just theres also shrap 25

its slightly less good

[potent crater]

oh didnt know

[atomic knoll]

It depends. Sharp 25 can hit further

But lesser dmg overall

[coral junco]

bro

i had 2 intel

but could only fit 1 in alpha

[velvet blade]

what's the UBGL mod in edit preset? I examined everything I can but still don't know what goes in there

[coral junco]

oh well and died

[strong barn]

nothing atm it is not implemented

[coral junco]

level 20 so close

[pure mist]

Lol u seriously comparing slugs and buckshots?

[strong barn]

the FNGL40 is available from PKLL4 when you get wet job 6 done i think

[whole thistle]

the range on those mfs

[pure mist]

One pen class 4 one doesn’t

[atomic knoll]

Hmmm

Haven't tested buckshot's blunt dmg

Not sure if it even matters if it doesn't pen tbh

[honest gulch]

got me out here lookin like taliban

[potent crater]

are cultists worth hunting

[honest gulch]

if you get stabbed with a poison tip knife you gotta pay 50 k to get rid of it

[pure mist]

Wdym

Blunt damage is for when it doesn’t pen

[atomic knoll]

What I meant was, not sure if it matters if the ammo pens or not

Since blunt dmg seems kinda big now and if it pens, it means even more dmg

That said, not tests was done for this yet

[velvet blade]

is there any noticable difference between these gas tubes? they all seem to have the same handguards

[wide canopy]

Do you lose rep when killing a cultist on a scav run?

[bold kernel]

can someone be my teamate?

[inland marlin]

successful pen = no blunt damage

[atomic knoll]

successful pen = full dmg no?

[inland marlin]

depends

penetrating armor will cause a reduction in damage

that is variable

but usually close to full damage

[atomic knoll]

Still, my "more dmg" comment still applies

so point still stands

[inland marlin]

idk

are you saying more dmg cuz blunt is being added to the pen dmg value

because thats wrong

[atomic knoll]

more dmg when compared to blunt dmg

if didn't pen = blunt dmg

if pen = more dmg then blunt

[inland marlin]

right right

[atomic knoll]

But like I said, will need to be tested

[runic patio]

Does anyone know a way to stock up on 7N1 ammo without flea?

[velvet blade]

is there a better one between 5.45 and 5.56?

[runic patio]

I assume its not possible, just thought id ask

[atomic knoll]

the 7.62x54r right? If so, traders

[atomic knoll]

what do u mean?

like which caliber is better?

[velvet blade]

yeah, they both are used for assault rifles so idk what could be the difference between these two calibers

[atomic knoll]

Used for different guns

5.45x39 are usually for russian AKs

5.56 are usually for the US guns like the M4

[lost nova]

lfg im new and i have nothing

[bold kernel]

same

[gilded hound]

Anyone willing to help me learn Customs? I need to find this goddamn pocket watch.

[atomic knoll]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/5.45x39mm#:~:text=The 5.45x39mm is a,guns in Escape from Tarkov.

for the guns

[bold kernel]

find it at dorms

[atomic knoll]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/5.56x45mm_NATO

[bold kernel]

i just started aswell dont mind playing with a minor do ya?

[lost nova]

im down but we are both clueless XD

[gilded hound]

The pocket watch?

[bold kernel]

i know some stuff

[lost nova]

same

[velvet blade]

is HK 416 the same as M416 in PUBG?

[bold kernel]

join the vc 2man squad 14

its a long ways down

[atomic knoll]

no

[runic patio]

I can imagine I unlock flea before 7n1 becomes available on traders

[atomic knoll]

yup

That's the only 2 ways to get it

Either via traders or FIR

without using flea

You could use other ammo u know?

[pure mist]

M416 was based on the hk

But no

[atomic knoll]

It's the other way round

hk is based on the m4

but point still stands

[bold kernel]

@lost nova u back on?

[lost nova]

My computer reset itself so I won't be able to play the game sorry I think it's my power supply

Even though I upgraded

[bold kernel]

o ok

[pure mist]

There isn’t a m416

There’s only hk416

I meant what he said about tarkov and pubg

Not m4a1

[atomic knoll]

yup

[bold kernel]

Guys what do more damage igolnik 5.45x39 or bp 7.62x39 (shooting to armor )

[velvet blade]

hmm there was a gun in pubg that did burst damage, I think it was something like M16 something

[pure mist]

There are a lot of ammo types

[pure mist]

M16a4 supposedly

[bold kernel]

Bro i didnt ask that , i know there are a lot of ammo types

[dreamy turtle]

wdym damage

bp does more flesh damage than igolnik

[velvet blade]

oh that's why I mixed them up, but yeah M16A4 wouldn't be M416 XD

[pure mist]

Do you not understand? Different ammo type in 545 and 762 does different things

I swear people are so impatient these days

[bold kernel]

Like id u shoot to a tier 5 how many shoots u need to hit with each one

[dreamy turtle]

tier 5 armor

[pure mist]

It’s not that easy

[dreamy turtle]

3 ignolnik shots

2 bp shots

assuming you pen

which is a maybe for bp

[velvet blade]

Look up Ballistics page on wiki and use Veritas' Tarkov Buddy app to check against armors

[dreamy turtle]

literally just look at the ballistics page

[bold kernel]

Ak 103 vs ak 74

[pure mist]

There are a lot of ammo types in each one it’s not 545 kill in how many shots and 762 kill in how many shots

Also it has nothing to do with the gun

[pure mist]

^

Couldn’t be easier

[velvet blade]

You could get both guns and try them in offline factory, get a feel of each caliber/gun

[vague gull]

getting hella close lol

[velvet blade]

which AI amount is "As online" in offline mode?

also question could include AI difficulty

[vague gull]

same amount that would spawn in an online raid

[velvet blade]

BRUUUH I mean is it low, medium or high

[vague gull]

👨‍🦲

[rich rose]

laughs in -1.79

[vague gull]

damnnn i used to be at -3.54

[rich rose]

when i very very first started playing i just shot anything that moved

which definitely had an impact on my scav karma

[vague gull]

same

[sacred badge]

same lol

i was scared easily

[vague gull]

i just didnt care at the start

im at 5.95 now

so close

gonna get it tomorrow

[sacred badge]

damn thats nice

I would be about 2.0-2.3 ish if I didnt fuck up

but ive only been at it for 2 weeks

[polar scroll]

seriously why are chadders running the IR blaster?

[atomic knoll]

So that you get the hipfire accuracy buff and other players won't be able to see your lasers/flashlights

[peak barn]

when does bullet drop tend to start

[velvet blade]

depends on velocity I think

both muzzle's and round's

[peak barn]

ok thanks

so faster velocity means less drop right

[atomic knoll]

yes

That said, I do remember an ammo being faster with the wrong zeroing could mean the ammo flies over the head too

[unreal horizon]

within 100m you'll only notice a different in like 9x39, ash12, and maybe like .45

[bold kernel]

IS THIS gun good

the ADS is shit

its pretty much a pistol with rifle parts slapped on

oof

kinda a meme gun but head eyes will kill wtvr so

guess im relieved i died then

i thought it was good

yea it looks cool

yea

factorys is way 2 hard bro

if you like it tho, and can headshot its fine for scavs

im tryna get pvp on factory but i just get straight headshot

ya thats the pvp practice area basically

what guns you been trying in there

just pitols

pistols

and a kedr

cus im poor

yea the beginning struggle is the roughest but it gets better

pistols you want to try and surprise people and headshot

especially if u dont even kno the map

or just get used to quickly hitting them in the eyes

[velvet blade]

holy shit 590 with flechette is illegal

[bold kernel]

yea for that, i say tell yourself youre gonna try to learn one little section each life

[velvet blade]

it's as good as shrap 10

[bold kernel]

even if you die you gained knowledge

and after dying to 5 differnet angles, you now know the 5 angles you can die from that spot. lots of that in this game

[unreal horizon]

why not use a semi auto?

[velvet blade]

590 + flecette + TBL is the perfect factory gun 😄

[bold kernel]

does sound fun, havent used flechette much

[velvet blade]

well it'd be annoying with far targets

[bold kernel]

honestly suck with shotguns

sound cool tho so ill always pick one up and shoot shoot

[atomic knoll]

like what mike asked, why not mp 153?

[unreal horizon]

if you hold w far targets become close ones

[bold kernel]

can i send u a pic real quick and u tell me what i sell from this scav run because i dont wanna sell anything i can barter / need for quest

[unreal horizon]

you also become swiss cheese but that's besides the point

[velvet blade]

idk the 590's bigger mag makes me feel more comfortable in pvp situations

[bold kernel]

oh man i wouldnt know all of em, i had to go through my stash and search items on the wiki

[atomic knoll]

the 8 round mag?

Cause mp153 has that too

[polar scroll]

ohh the hipfire buff cool. thnx man. didnt know that

[bold kernel]

is there any way to find stuff u can trade in quicker>?

[atomic knoll]

like barters?

[bold kernel]

right click and do required search, should show you all things an item can be bartered for at least. for quests there are some pictures floating around of all the items, dont have em memorized tho

[bold kernel]

yea

[atomic knoll]

Every trader has the barter filter

on the right hand side

The 2nd vertical icon

[velvet blade]

I'll try the MP-153

[abstract reef]

anyone ever hit receive all on ragman message from flea market sale and it just goes poof?

[velvet blade]

visual bug

happens with any trader

[velvet blade]

the mp153 is actually better than the 590 XD

[bold kernel]

can I use a scope for the tarkov shooter part 2?

[atomic knoll]

Glad you're on the boat now

[atomic knoll]

yes

[bold kernel]

tyty the jager quests are such a pain lol

[atomic knoll]

I enjoy tarkov shooter in general

Pretty fun imo

[bold kernel]

I'm just having trouble determining what 40m looks like I guess

[atomic knoll]

When in doubt, move further back lol

Pretty easy to do on Reserve/woods

[velvet blade]

but what's the difference between the 8-shell magazine and the 8-shell extension?

[atomic knoll]

same thing

for the magazine tho, use the mp-133

the mp-133 8 mag

It has better stats and cheaper to boot

Don't ask me why

[abstract reef]

even after reloading my money didnt show up in my total

[velvet blade]

@bold kernel I just got on the sniper rock in customs and yeeted the scavs in checkpoint and gas

it's at least 40m for both places

you can also overlook construction I think

[bold kernel]

these rocks on the right?

is this good?

from a raider

[sour leaf]

can someone take me on a tour of labs?

i wanna start playing labs more often

me and someone can do an offline raid?

[tulip whale]

It's OK at range but it's going to have pretty high recoil and no laser or flashlight will make it Meh at closer ranges

[bold kernel]

it has bp loaded

4 mags of it

[abstract reef]

i liked being by the train on the left side of the map and shooting scavs at ruaf checkpoint across the river

[tulip whale]

BP is a very good round for 762, good ttk against all armor

[velvet blade]

no it's called sniper ridge between this and new gas

[potent spoke]

what do you do if your out of money and equipment

[abstract reef]

SCAV

caps

and make better life choices

[potent spoke]

i suck at this game i tried to get guidance but nobody wanna be my mentor

and looking for a group gets you killed by said group

[sick ingot]

Find some good You Tubers

Pestly, samosh, piranha ttv, swamp fox

@potent spoke

[bold kernel]

@potent spoke what servers u play on

is this good for dorms?

[velvet blade]

do you need the cabin and bunk keys for quests or anything?

[bold kernel]

gold zippo

what does the bunk key do tho

[velvet blade]

It's required for the quest Bad rep evidence

[bold kernel]

o

[fathom ocean]

Nice kac 🤝

[velvet blade]

if space allows, try having the big red key

[bold kernel]

repair the rig or get new armor

[bold kernel]

big red key?

[velvet blade]

idk its new name, tarcone office thingy

[bold kernel]

tarcone directors office i think?

[sacred badge]

yea

thats it

[velvet blade]

Tarcone Director's Office Key

[bold kernel]

bam

[sacred badge]

you need that key for multiple quests

or maybe just 2

but at least 2!

[velvet blade]

and it's not bad loot, 3 pc blocks and a safe

[bold kernel]

o yea i have that key

[velvet blade]

same for gas station office key it has a safe there

[bold kernel]

id say its worth hitting if you spawn over there

[velvet blade]

or factory exit key, you pick priorities since you have alpha container

[bold kernel]

the sound is fuky on the stairs so make sure you look up haha

[velvet blade]

also don't forget to repair your armors

[bold kernel]

well this is all the space i have atm oof

i need an ammo box

[fathom ocean]

Even if you don’t before you extract why not hit it

[velvet blade]

I'd also take an extra mag, 3 + space for reloading

[bold kernel]

ur good, take it slow. really you only need room for your current gear but yea its rough at first

yea word, hit it either way

[bold kernel]

well im just going in there for the gold lighter

word but open the safe and check the trash can and shelfs anyhow

[fiery orchid]

is it better to sell or keep slick?

[bold kernel]

theres a safe in dorms?

[bold kernel]

flea

will it help you get more cash than you could get selling it?

[fiery orchid]

lvl 5

[bold kernel]

wait

how much is slick on flea?

either way its ok, if you need the cash at all i say sell it

tarkovmarket im not in game

[fiery orchid]

idk cant check u,u

[bold kernel]

@fiery orchid what slick u got

but its a pain holding onto stuff for tons of levels imo. using it can be cool especially if you take a bunch of shots, just to get a feel for how powerful or not armor can be

[fiery orchid]

prapor buys it for 180k damn

[bold kernel]

nah

[fiery orchid]

first one

[bold kernel]

someone buys for 200k

[bold kernel]

black?

or tan

ragman for armor i think

[fiery orchid]

black

[bold kernel]

damn

i have tan oof

but yea how much is it on ragman

[fiery orchid]

232

[bold kernel]

how much roubles u got rn?

[fiery orchid]

god damn, even if its not flea its good money

[bold kernel]

yea

[fiery orchid]

i got 1.3mill

[bold kernel]

o

u got a scav box already?

[fiery orchid]

nope

[bold kernel]

buy it

[fiery orchid]

its from therapist?

[bold kernel]

yeah

what servers u play on?

[fiery orchid]

na

[bold kernel]

o

[fiery orchid]

you?

[bold kernel]

you can put barter items and dog tags in the scav box

OCE

hm

imma use my scav run on factory

dont really need much atm

[fiery orchid]

idk man, it leaves me with like 200k

[bold kernel]

your inventory will be filled with barter items trust me

and what u gonna do with 1mil at that lvl tho?

[fiery orchid]

tru

[bold kernel]

NOOOOOOOOOO

FUCK

I SPAWNED WITH A LABS CARD

AND DIED TO A OFFICE WINDOW RAT

AGHGHHHHHHHHHH

[polar scroll]

any pros know which of these keys are pointless/open into the same room? shoreline keys these are

[velvet blade]

basically when you want a higher chance to extract to be more patient with map rotation

[bold kernel]

its factory

[tulip whale]

You can find a list of keys for each map on the wiki, will tell you what each key will give you

[bold kernel]

people are everywhere lmao

[velvet blade]

doesn't matter, still has map rotation xd

[bold kernel]

man

i wanna exfil camp on factory now

but dont wanna risk my stuff

imma go customs

[fathom ocean]

Sks

[daring grove]

why is this going for so much?

[fathom ocean]

Jesus

[quaint onyx]

its the meta barrel

and its locked behind high level trader

meta barrel of a meta gun meta price

[daring grove]

hmm. alright thanks

[fathom ocean]

Oh I didn’t even see the top option

[tulip whale]

It's also rare to get FIR which further increases the price

[quaint onyx]

yeah i have found the weapon a few times but i think it comes with the short barrel

[tulip whale]

Yeah

The default Barrel is the short one and the raiders that come with it also have the short barrel, only place to get the long one as far as I'm aware are gun boxes

[wary valley]

welp im fucking done with interchange

[daring grove]

i did scav run on customs and i found that part in the building beside the ZB bunkers. on the 2nd floor

where the random parts spawn

[tulip whale]

Yeah there is probably a few random spawns for it like that

It also will probably spawn in Kiba

[steel narwhal]

can anyone help out, ive done all my settings and looked through gear and stuff. just want to make sure i start out right

[lofty shard]

anybody wanna run ?

[bold kernel]

how much roubles does it cost for the cost extracts?

[steel narwhal]

im down

[lofty shard]

bet im still kinda new to the game and shit

[steel narwhal]

check dm @lofty shard

[dreamy turtle]

depends

its 7000 if you have neutral rep

[bold kernel]

dorms extract

[dreamy turtle]

depends on your rep

[bold kernel]

so if its under -0.2?

@lofty shard what servers?

[dreamy turtle]

i think its still the same if your rep is -.2

dunno

[bold kernel]

o

[tulip whale]

It will still be the normal 7k at that rep

[fervent swift]

Bring 10k to be safe

I always have 20k+ in my sicc in case a friend needs

[tulip whale]

If I bring money I usually bring like 100K for the boys

That way if someone forgets we haven't got to either run to the nearest exit or go get more money from safes

[fervent swift]

Yup

There's been friends left behind at the uber too many times

[tulip whale]

Yeah lol

Too many times did we even state too bring money at the start of the raid for someone to still forget, so now we each bring a bunch of spare cash just in case

[fervent swift]

Ohana means family

[tulip whale]

It also means newer players in the group don't need to worry about bringing money

[fervent swift]

It sucks before you get a docs/sicc tbh

[tulip whale]

Yup

[fervent swift]

Bring 100k to make value of the slot

Make sure it's in your pocket

[tulip whale]

You need the container space for meds especially with alpha, so bringing them money helps a lot

And hey, maybe you "accidentally" drop an extra chunk of cash for them

[fervent swift]

I always give them the stack

[tulip whale]

I'm guilty of doing it too

[fervent swift]

It's partly because I feel guilty over nolifing the game

One friend was level 8 when I started

Now I'm 39 and he's 26

[bold kernel]

hes just bad dont worry

youre all good

[fervent swift]

Nah he has a more active life and I've been on sick leave

[bold kernel]

well shit

[fervent swift]

So been averaging like 9-10hrs a day

[tulip whale]

Hope you get better soon man

[bold kernel]

sick leave is like a snow day at school just drink it in

but also yes get better

[fervent swift]

[bold kernel]

dang

well done

[tulip whale]

Tbf the account lifetime does reset every wipe

[fervent swift]

It does?

[tulip whale]

Yeah

[fervent swift]

Weak nikita

[bold kernel]

huh weird

[proud kernel]

I'm having ahead time getting the MP133 Shotgun. Any tips?

[tulip whale]

The hours don't but the lifetime does

[bold kernel]

it has account creation date i think

[fervent swift]

Oh that makes even less sense

Should be both

[keen stream]

Any Shoreline enthusiasts around 😄

[fervent swift]

With a "hours this wipe" section

[tulip whale]

Yeah it's weird, or just one showing hours total and hours this wipe

But hey maybe they will add that in the future who knows

[fervent swift]

One way is to spam scavs until you spawn with them

It can take some time though

[keen stream]

yeah use your scav on cooldown on factory or something

I heard the ice cream shop on customs spawns them often

[tranquil shore]

Scavs spawn everywhere on customs

[tulip whale]

You can also buy the shotguns you need from jaeger

[proud kernel]

The locked merch? I'll work on unlocking him now.

Thanks

[tulip whale]

Np

You can get the task to unlock him from mechanic at player level 2

[knotty topaz]

If I begin upgrading my generator while its one and im crafting something will they just continue as normal or turn off?

[dreamy turtle]

they'll continue

[bold kernel]

What's the key needed for the Factory Shacks on Customs? Portable Cabin Key and Trailer park portable cabin key both show something else on the wiki.

[wary valley]

fkin love desync

[dreamy turtle]

bunkhouse?

[bold kernel]

I don't know, I'm asking, lol

But I found the quest name and it's portable bunkhouse key, yes

Thanks

[knotty topaz]

is the bitcoin trade with mechanic worth?

[tranquil shore]

If you get the tetriz and batteries cheap

Then yes

75k tetriz and 30k batteries is cheap btw

[knotty topaz]

ah ok

I got them for 85k

and already have batteries

[tranquil shore]

You'll earn a bit

Shouldn't be primary money maker tho

[knotty topaz]

yeah

is the 10 bitcoin for the case worth it?

[tranquil shore]

Which case?

[knotty topaz]

weapon

from mechanic

[tranquil shore]

There is a better one

But yes

you save about 1.4 mil

[knotty topaz]

ooft

[tranquil shore]

The other one you save about 3.6

[knotty topaz]

3.6????

[tranquil shore]

Yup

[knotty topaz]

what tradfe

[tranquil shore]

Mech ll 3

[knotty topaz]

oh

[tranquil shore]

8 Motor, Wires, Broken LDC and 1 AESA

It's 850k or something

[knotty topaz]

oh yeah I see that on the wiki

wtfff

thanks

So should I keep doing the tetriz trade until I get 10 bitcoin?

[tranquil shore]

I would sell the bitcoins tbh

And when you have 1 mil from bitcoin profit

Just do the trade i just told you

You can do 2-3 trades for the same price

[knotty topaz]

Thing is I only have mech lvl 2

and im lvl 20

so mech lvl 3 kinda far away

[tranquil shore]

That's true

I still wouldn't tho

You probably won't need a weapon case tbh

Just upgrade your stash

You'll need that more

[knotty topaz]

I have EOD but still run out of space

[tranquil shore]

Then you're bad at sorting your stash

Do you have all the containers?

Scav Junkbox, Med case, Ammo case, Mag case etc?

[knotty topaz]

yeah

[tranquil shore]

How tf do you run out of space then

Can you send a pic?

[knotty topaz]

Idk what to or not to sell

I hoard a lot

[tranquil shore]

Ohhh

Makes sense

How much roubles you got?

[dreamy turtle]

i also have no room

[knotty topaz]

I have 2.2 mil

[tranquil shore]

Buy another scav junkbox then, if you can't sell anything of course

They're like 900k on Flea

[knotty topaz]

I already bought another one lol

[dreamy turtle]

you can prob sell some stuff tho

[knotty topaz]

yeah

I gotta clean my stash a bit

[tranquil shore]

Send a pic, im gonna make a list on what you can sell

[knotty topaz]

Ok

[tranquil shore]

Im sorting my own stash anyways

[knotty topaz]

alright

can I send it here?

[tranquil shore]

Yup

[knotty topaz]

Im sending them now

I have a bit of space in my stash since Ive died a few times but its normally much worse

[tranquil shore]

Do you have stuff in all the rigs @knotty topaz

[knotty topaz]

Yeahh

and bags inside of bags inside of bags inside of bags

[tranquil shore]

Lmao

[knotty topaz]

one of the belt rigs is full of only AI-2s

is that bad

[tranquil shore]

Yeah

Once you have flea

I wouldn't use them

I would use Ifak or Salewas

[knotty topaz]

I mean I dont even use them anyway idk why I have them honestly

[tranquil shore]

lmao

Same thing with half used healing

The 80 hp ifak

Is worth nothing, it's not worth bringing in to a raid

[knotty topaz]

yeah

[tranquil shore]

Also all the keys you have double, just sell one of them. You won't need 2

[knotty topaz]

ok thanks ill start cleaning up whats in the first picture then

Ok

[tranquil shore]

Ill make a list of number two then. Give me a sec

[knotty topaz]

thanks

[bold kernel]

@knotty topaz AYO TF IS YOUR INV LMAO

[knotty topaz]

big mess

[tranquil shore]

2nd pic

VPO-136, Glock 18C, TT Pistol

D Batt, Wrench, Screwdriver, Apollon, Crackers, Shemagh, Ghost, Aiyonka, Cond milk

Beret, Beanie

6P20, Molot Bak, Vector side

Remember to sell it on flea if it's worth btw

[pure bluff]

we were all there once dont worry @knotty topaz

[tranquil shore]

The best thing i've ever done was learning prices and uses of nearly all the items

It seems like a big mess at first, but once you learn the items it's pretty easy

[pure bluff]

100% same with learning Barter trades etc

[knotty topaz]

thats what im trying to do lmao, half my time in tarkov is spent on the wiki and checking flea prices

[tranquil shore]

Exactly

It's coming slowly

[dreamy turtle]

at least your stash is salvagable

my stash is full

[tranquil shore]

lmao

[dreamy turtle]

and i cant do anything about it

[knotty topaz]

rip

[dreamy turtle]

other than

[dreamy turtle]

go labs

and die

[bold kernel]

what should i sell?

[pure bluff]

this is the way haha

[dreamy turtle]

like all those weapon parts

except maybe the ak ergo grip

that one might be expensive

[pure bluff]

Happy to hop into a server and help clean stashes if needed

[bold kernel]

they are probably for like 4 weapons lol

[merry dust]

The ak ergo grip isn’t bad

[dreamy turtle]

my stash is just all armor

[tranquil shore]

3rd Picture

Take the flaslight of the P226R and sell the P226R

Cap, Bear, Shmaska, 7mm Magnum, Army, Emercom, Pompon, MBSS, Hemostat (cheap on flea), PCB

[merry dust]

I just got my t h I c c

Growing my collection of t6 armor

[tranquil shore]

Why collect lmao

[merry dust]

dunno

[tranquil shore]

Have fun using it

[merry dust]

funz

[tranquil shore]

It's not a flex having high stash value

Only if you have a goal of it being the highest

Like some of the money hoarding streamers

[pure bluff]

I just dont die as much as I used to

[bold kernel]

time to go dorms

[pure bluff]

Plus non found in raid stuff isnt worth selling most of the time

so just hold on to it till i need to run it

[tranquil shore]

I hold on to stuff i will need later aswell.

[pure bluff]

60mil stash value now though 😫

[tranquil shore]

But if it's a collection

That just means you wanna keep them

Which i still want an answer on why you would keep good stuff

[pure bluff]

Yeah no collecting

[dreamy turtle]

everytime i use one

i get

clapped

[pure bluff]

thats gear fear

[dreamy turtle]

by a cheater

pog

[tranquil shore]

Same

I use it on labs

Only map i run very geared

[pure bluff]

yeah same

plus reserve

[tranquil shore]

Reserve etc. i just use the rat rig

It's fine

Imo

[dreamy turtle]

every other map i run aacpc

or whatever armor i pick up off people

[tranquil shore]

Crying in not being lvl 42

lmao

[merry dust]

I run rat rig or 110

[dreamy turtle]

getting one tapped by 366ap is cringe

[pure bluff]

haha yeah

[merry dust]

[atomic knoll]

if u have ll3 traders, rat rig isn't that great. tv-110 costs the same. ana m1 costs slightly more

[pure bluff]

CPC rig barter is cheap with ragman lvl 4

[tranquil shore]

4th picture

Sell all the MBSS, Duffle, Car key, Take the mag out of the glock, and sell the glock.

[pure bluff]

use that a lot now

[atomic knoll]

cpc is the best barter for ll4

for a class 5

[pure bluff]

kill raiders for troopers and barter for slick too

cheap as compared to flea

[dreamy turtle]

🙂

[knotty topaz]

thanks for the help

means a lot

[tranquil shore]

5th picture

Put meds in the med back if it isn't full.

You'll need the rest

Np

[pure bluff]

haha GN

[knotty topaz]

its full

[tranquil shore]

Shit

You're a true hoarder lmao

[knotty topaz]

ahaha

[tranquil shore]

You should have a bit more space now tho

[knotty topaz]

yeah

[atomic knoll]

ehhh. troppers are huge and bulky

I would rather loot better stuff

[knotty topaz]

i just gotta learn what to keep/pickup to keep my stash clean

[tranquil shore]

It'll come slowly

[pure bluff]

raiders nerfed though now, have fuck all on them

[tranquil shore]

Most of the stuff i told you to sell is because it's worth a decent bit, and easy to find

And you probably didn't need it for a quest

[merry dust]

who wants a shitty rig mpx with Luger cci and 2 grenades

[knotty topaz]

yeah

alright thanks

[pure bluff]

exactly haha

[knotty topaz]

ill get to selling

[molten nova]

where can i find 60 round mag

i need it for mechanic part 2

quest

[pure bluff]

Craft in you hideout?

[tranquil shore]

Lavatory 2

Craft

[pure bluff]

or in wood, ZB14 extract (Hardly there though)

[inland leaf]

Yeah fr trying that is ass

[bold kernel]

Finally hit 4 rows! whoo whoo

[merry dust]

Jesus

[atomic knoll]

Hold up, do u mean for the mp5?

[molten nova]

nah

[merry dust]

how much is that

[molten nova]

for aks 74u

[pure bluff]

Thats a 50 rounder

[atomic knoll]

That's prapor's quest no?

[pure bluff]

true

[merry dust]

Mechanic

wait no

[molten nova]

i cant craft it in the hideout

[pure bluff]

icecream cones is Prapor

[merry dust]

It’s for mechanic and prosper

Prapor

Mech 2 and ice cream cones

[fathom ocean]

Let me borrow $20 till tomorrow

[pure bluff]

Mechanic needs one for Gunsmith as well

[merry dust]

Lavatory

[molten nova]

i dont have it

i cant craft it

[pure bluff]

Would aim to get what you need to build lav lvl 2

and craft

much easier while you dont have the flea

[molten nova]

k

thx

[atomic knoll]

gunsmith

[merry dust]

2

[atomic knoll]

makes sense since I only started doing 2 and above when I had flea

[pure bluff]

You can find them on the raiders on reserve

but depending on your money and gear situation... could be a risk

Can keep using your scav onto reserve to try and find some raiders with the AK's and 60 rounders

not wasting your own gear then

@molten nova

[bold kernel]

tarkovs real genre is horror

[knotty topaz]

My shooting range finished constructing but there is no install button

what do

[wary valley]

reset the game

[fathom ocean]

For the first 100 hours 😂

[bold kernel]

ok should i go daytime factory scav run or camp dorms

[pure bluff]

restart the game, does it on most things that complete

[knotty topaz]

alright thanks

[amber valley]

How much HP does killa have?

[pure bluff]

Head: 70
Thorax: 210

Stomach: 170

Arms: 100 each

Legs: 120 each

Total: 890

[amber valley]

Fuck

i did like 480 damage to him. dumped half a mag of m61 into his chest.

[pure bluff]

sheeshh

[amber valley]

He fucking powerslid into me, made my gun go sideways and then fucking shot me in teh ear

Its bullshit he can do what players are unable to do

[pure bluff]

got to hit his Head before he aimbots you

[amber valley]

I cannot hit him in the head if he fucking powerslides into me around the corner and makes my gun go sideways lmfao

[pure bluff]

true... TARKOV! 🙂

[rough crag]

Can u even pen his helmet

[amber valley]

his helmet itself is only level 4

its the face shield thats a problem, thats level fucking 6

So i couldnt even one tap him in the head with m61 i think

[rough crag]

Ah

I have it

Tehe

[pure bluff]

Its best to get him back of the head before he sees you

otherwise.. you get what happened to @amber valley

[amber valley]

and if he sees you then its just gg

[pure bluff]

big sad times

[amber valley]

I dont mind if he kills me cause he has good aim

the fact he can powerslide and shoot perfectly straight at the same time

[pure bluff]

yeah exactly

[rough crag]

When I saw him for the first time I thought he was just a scav

[amber valley]

thats the annoying part

[rough crag]

So i shot him

And he started screaming

And then I was like ok I just got bad aim

Then he sprayed half a clip at the place he saw me and charged me

And I was doing a naked run

:((

[atomic knoll]

hm should be fine even if u hit the thorax no?

I mean last wipe, people were running naked hunter m61 to farm him

[amber valley]

I did about 500 damage to him in the body

and he did not die

or if he did it wasnt untl after i died

[atomic knoll]

he has 210 thorax hp

u obviously didn't hit thorax

[amber valley]

I mean

it said 485 damage so...

[atomic knoll]

Again, u didn't 0 thorax

[amber valley]

Sure

[pure bluff]

890 total health, so probably a combo of thorax, stomach, legs and arms etc

[rough crag]

Hm

[brisk jolt]

hey will i loose rep for killing raiders as a scav

[pure bluff]

not raiders on reserve

but scav boss and their men

yes, you lose rep for killing bosses and their guards

[atomic knoll]

#weapon-modding message

anything not listed there doesn't - nor +

[silk rampart]

How does a person improve their attitude with fence?

[atomic knoll]

....

checkout the link i posted

[silk rampart]

is it actually worth it?

[atomic knoll]

that's up to u to decide

benefits:

1. Player-scav cooldown, scavbox “craft” time, amount of exfils for the player-scav, car extract fee, player-scav kit, and the prices when selling items to Fence.

2. The higher Fence reputation is - the more often AI-scavs will agree to help player-scav and respond to his commands (Follow, hold position). With very low reputation AI scavs will attack player-scav. With very high levels of reputation AI-scavs will help by attacking player-scavs’ enemies, and bosses will be considered allies.

3. Players will be able to purchase uninsured items lost by other players by reaching Fence’s max loyalty level.

maxed loyalty level is 6

[silk rampart]

well looks my rep will stay bad I'm at -1.76

[glad mantle]

What's up EU kids

[quaint onyx]

its only worth for the scav case timer and the scav-run timer other than that not really

maybe the friendly bosses can be looked as a bonus

[silk rampart]

I'll probably work on improving it once I get scav case

[atomic knoll]

I say it depends on the person

I like it as I can sell intel items to him in rubles

And make more when compared to selling to pk

[bold kernel]

all I want is jager rep, but I only get pain

[atomic knoll]

his tasks are ok

The problem I have with him is that he hates everyone else so just by completing other quests "-0.01 rep"

Except for ragman

[sand herald]

honestly as long as you do his tasks you should be fine

doesnt really matter than you lose rep from other tasks

[atomic knoll]

It adds up tho

[tulip whale]

Yeah getting him to lvl 4 isn't too difficult as most of his early tasks are super easy just a little annoying

[atomic knoll]

I think he's the only trader with so much penalties just by completing other tasks

[sand herald]

it does make sense cause it's all connected if you read the tarkov lore

but nobody reads the tarkov lore

[tulip whale]

The books are actually a pretty good read tbh

[sand herald]

fr

[tulip whale]

The lore is actually cool and fits the game

It will be super nice when we get the new lore driven tasks and stuff

[fervent swift]

He's such a overly dramatic diva

[bold kernel]

What's the etiquette here on joining voice channels?

[thick harness]

There really isnt

people just join

lol

[sacred badge]

Hmm, any flea item that I can use to cheese peacekeeper spending?

oh fuck why did i bother im still 0.10 rep away

[obsidian sphinx]

im having such shit pmc runs

i cant go anywhere without being shot down

like as soon as anyone sees me im dead before i know it and its not like im always out in the open

[bold kernel]

Adopt the way of the rat

Spawn in

Hide for a few minutes

Then go

You'd be amazed how often people don't loot high value areas

I've been doing runs to Fortress on customs with nothing but a vest, backpack, and silenced tt

[obsidian sphinx]

i see, so i should let everyone do everything and then i strike?

[bold kernel]

Nah

Just a tiny bit means people get out

They get in fights

You can hear them

[thick harness]

Every raid is random, could be 10 other guys all doing the same thing

[bold kernel]

And then you strike

[thick harness]

Ive seen it happen on shoreline before a bunch, everyones like we will just wait to go to resort let others duke it out. Then we go 25 mins in nothing is unlocked and 3 other groups show up late too trying to task

[obsidian sphinx]

i can always hear it in dorms

how long would you suggest hiding for

[shadow walrus]

i think your issue is you lack the confidence to get in firefights.

i recommend you go labs in offline mode and try pvp'ing raiders

[sacred badge]

yeah, thats a hurdle im trying to overcome myself lol

plenty of times im like "damn, if i put on decent gear I would have won that fight"

when im just trying to rat it up

[limber notch]

How am I ment to not die to rats hiding in dark corners on IC

[sacred badge]

yes

[obsidian sphinx]

maybe

[tranquil shore]

Check the corners

[obsidian sphinx]

alright, will do

wait hang on i think you were talking to the other guy idk

[quaint onyx]

how is labs framerate?

[merry dust]

High

[limber notch]

Eg. Was in Adik, ran to kiba, stayed for 2 min, ran back and there was a rat in a corner

[merry dust]

it’s a really small map

[quaint onyx]

thats good

[tranquil shore]

Don’t run, check corners and go slow

[atomic knoll]

So after u hit the 0.1 rep, best way is by buying slim dairies from flea and selling it to him

If u have flea unlocked

[hard tangle]

if ya want the GPS you gotta W key it all that way

[limber notch]

Alright, thanks

[hard tangle]

GPUS

[sacred badge]

yeah i just bought dollars lol

i buy enough shit from him anyway

[atomic knoll]

It's cheaper if u do it via slim dairies

and u still get dollars

[sacred badge]

yea

next wipe lol

[atomic knoll]

Oh..pk4?

[sacred badge]

or yeah, once i need to for pk4

that was for 3

or, is for 3

Once I get the rep

[atomic knoll]

I won't worry bout the rep

It's the levels

37

[limber notch]

So how do streamers run everywhere and not die tho

:(

[obsidian sphinx]

lvndmark

[sacred badge]

I dont see streamers running interchange very often

personally

just labs lol
