[whole thistle]

i sold the fuel before doing either thing im just terrible at wording things

[fathom ocean]

🤓

[whole thistle]

omg is that you alexander johnathan @hallow jungle

[idle bluff]

Yikes

[cosmic tinsel]

🙏

[bold kernel]

[cosmic tinsel]

worth takin a look at coolhandluke too

[idle bluff]

I just got home, what's up with them?

[cosmic tinsel]

no idea, frankly. just... fired up

[idle bluff]

Ah... I see it now.

[cosmic tinsel]

i tabbed in from splitgate and had a community moment

[upbeat barn]

yeah

[potent crater]

Hey meevo I gtg to sleep I’ll cya later

[runic patio]

Is there any way to trade with other players without flea?

[cosmic tinsel]

no

nothing safe or sanctioned

[runic patio]

Like i want to buy like 500 rounds of .366 AP, but dont have flea market unlocked yet, Is there like a reddit or forum where that’s possible

[cosmic tinsel]

drop trading exists, but too much of that can get you flagged

[runic patio]

Flagged?

For what

[cosmic tinsel]

RMT

[runic patio]

Sorry Idk what that is bro

Assume its bad

RIP i guess, mechanic level 2 only around the corner anyway

[cosmic tinsel]

real money trading

[runic patio]

XP starting to feel real slow though, and the tasks getting hard

[cosmic tinsel]

it'll do that

[runic patio]

“hard” (for me)

The delivery one with big red/ factory is pain

[cosmic tinsel]

this game is hard

nobody will disagree in good faith

[runic patio]

For sure can be, its hit and miss

555 rubles per bullet really isnt bad at all

[echo marsh]

Take a look at me?

[gusty wadi]

can AI scav's just full on sprint run at you?

[runic patio]

Yes and they will

[cosmic tinsel]

yes, esp if you didnt bring gear/just a pistol

[gusty wadi]

how can you tell if you killed a scav you a player

[runic patio]

Cant really other than their movement

I think

[gusty wadi]

oh

[runic patio]

some will do a wiggle

and that means friendly dont kill me other scav

[gusty wadi]

what are the penalties for killing a scav as a scav

[bold kernel]

Other scavs hate you and will hunt you down.

Fence rep goes down.

[potent crater]

Dog tag means pmc

[bold kernel]

If you go low enough you will automatically be targetted by scavs and your timer will go up.

[gusty wadi]

oh but i just started and need the guns is it worh it

or no

[bold kernel]

I don't think so. I personally don't do it. I get enough from looting around.

Sometimes there are scavs with good loot but you never know.

[gusty wadi]

oh ok

thanks for the help

[strong turtle]

what sniper options do i have early on

[cosmic tinsel]

SV98

[whole thistle]

Pestily might

[cosmic tinsel]

theres a ton of people who are so good at the game that the game has become easy to them

[whole thistle]

"if you don't have 100 million rubles in the first week you're playing wrong"

[cosmic tinsel]

idk how many of them have lost track of the time and effort they've spent

[strong turtle]

who sells that early game

i cant find it

[bold kernel]

Fence.

[strong turtle]

gopt it

[whole thistle]

Fence sells shitty broken ones

[strong turtle]

ill check for a scope

thx\

[whole thistle]

But it'll be mad inaccurate

[cosmic tinsel]

how early are you

you might just wanna not snipe

[bold kernel]

Well, what other options are there?

There's a mosin.

[whole thistle]

If you want a really early sniper get a vpo or an sks

[bold kernel]

Oh, I thought we were going with scoped snipers.

[minor rain]

whats some good budget ammo that i could put in a glock more specifically a machine glock, meant for factory

[bold kernel]

7.62x54R snipers.

[strong turtle]

i am like level 12 but none of my tradewrs are even close to lvl 2

[cosmic tinsel]

there isnt really any, but you can use pst gzh

[strong turtle]

ive done like a dozen or so quests

[cosmic tinsel]

jaeger is the sniper guy

whatever hes got, is what youv'e got

[whole thistle]

PSO scope

Sks goated

[bold kernel]

how do I get more tac-kek fast mt helmets

[cosmic tinsel]

flea

dont think traders sell em

the good news is the helmet doesnt do much

[bold kernel]

better than nothing

probably

[cosmic tinsel]

not really

[bold kernel]

okay yeah but

it

looks cool

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah

so flea it

i wear em

[bold kernel]

I can't find it on the flea market

[cosmic tinsel]

tk fast mt

i think

[bold kernel]

nope

pain.

oh it's on the flea market

just out of stock

:(

[fathom ocean]

How

[bold kernel]

how

welp

atleast I can still wear my bowling pin helmet

err bowling ball

[minor rain]

What attachments i need to put a supressor on a machine glock?

[bold kernel]

also wait

on the flea market you need to be level 20 to see listings from other players

right

[fathom ocean]

Do you wear that helmet for protection?

[crimson geyser]

is reserve bugged rn?

[bold kernel]

what helmet

[fathom ocean]

I’m pretty sure every bullet goes straight through that helmet

[cosmic tinsel]

ricochet chance

[bold kernel]

I

don't

[fathom ocean]

This one

[bold kernel]

wear helmets

[fathom ocean]

If you get shot in the head while wearing that you don’t die? It’s class 1

[cosmic tinsel]

correct

[fathom ocean]

Wtf

[cosmic tinsel]

ricochet negates all damage, you take 1 dmg

[bold kernel]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/812343108120346665/881157527088295967/image0.gif

[cosmic tinsel]

and it doesnt care about pen

its why shattered mask is a thing

[bold kernel]

ricochet gaming

[cosmic tinsel]

its rng, but its something

[fathom ocean]

Yeah you make it sound like you finna survive a headshot wearing that 😂

[cosmic tinsel]

you do

saved me earlier today

caught a ricochet off a shattered mask

[bold kernel]

is uhm

[cosmic tinsel]

m80 go bye bye

[bold kernel]

I need me the rfb

is it a good strategy on factory

to wait a little bit after spawning

so that you don't get shot

Depends on what spawn you get.

[cosmic tinsel]

some players rush spawns

factory is kind of a free for all

[fathom ocean]

Kind of

[minor rain]

do what i do, machine glock drum mag

works like a charm

[cosmic tinsel]

glock 18 is kind of a meme

and by kind of, i mean is 100%

[minor rain]

machine glock drum mag superior

[cosmic tinsel]

i get it you've made that you're identity and i'm stoked you're into it lol. i cant recommend it in good faith

[bold kernel]

okay so if someone tries to rush my spawn

can't I just

throw a grenade

[cosmic tinsel]

sure!

[fathom ocean]

Easier said than done

[minor rain]

yeah people prenade spawns alot

warning though if u spawn in the hallway dont try to prenade if u want to keep ur kit everytime i try i get head eyes before the animation is even done

[bold kernel]

oh god the hallway

like the one with no exit

except for the forklift room

god I fucking hate that

[minor rain]

what ammo should i run in the glock? i barely know ammo still

the forklift room, its my least favorite spawn

[cosmic tinsel]

heard its workin like a charm for you 😉

theres no good 9x19 ammo tbh

[bold kernel]

also wait

different ammo types

huh

[cosmic tinsel]

pst gzh is as much as you can afford, probably

[fathom ocean]

Factory is hilarious

[cosmic tinsel]

im runnin ash 12 there to blow off steam lol

[bold kernel]

factory is where I go to borderline purposefully lose guns that I don't want to sell

[fathom ocean]

Menace

[minor rain]

@cosmic tinsel it is working like a charm

a bad luck charm

[cosmic tinsel]

HAHAHAHAHA

thats incredible

[bold kernel]

bruh.

[minor rain]

incredibly sad lmao

[bold kernel]

dude I have so many ak-74u's in my stash

[fathom ocean]

Squeaky toy

[bold kernel]

or some version of the ak

I just like ak-74s

[cosmic tinsel]

i was not the biggest menace

[bold kernel]

I did this fucking thing in S.T.A.L.K.E.R where I just used the ak-74u that you start with for the entire game

[fathom ocean]

I hit Tagilla with ss190 19 times and he killed me with ease

[minor rain]

tagilla is so hit or miss imo one second hes wallbanging and drop shotting and the next your killing him with quakemaker

do i run killa helmet with glock?

[fathom ocean]

Uh

I’m not a fan of the Killa helmet personally

[minor rain]

im trying to have a kit where people are just so confused on what i was doing

[fathom ocean]

Make a ugly ass Adar

[minor rain]

igy after this run

[fathom ocean]

And use the worse ammo possible

M856 🤢

[minor rain]

isnt m855 worse?

[rough scarab]

What gun would y’all recommend for dorms

Trynna do this jaeger quest

[minor rain]

typically when im actually trying i go with a m4 cause theres so many different ways you can mod them but it depends on what your comfortable with

[fathom ocean]

Yeah barely 😂

I think it has less flesh tho

[fathom ocean]

Prolly a shotty

Pick your ammo depending on how much you want to spend

Most buckshot is ole reliable

But ap20 meta

Damn unlucky

[minor rain]

ik, im embarassed to even have it clipped

[fathom ocean]

I have some very embarrassing deaths too

I died to raiders today just because I was careless asf

[icy dagger]

ive had a few worse

[light lark]

looking for someone to help me with mechanic intro quest

[icy dagger]

is that the one with the mp 133 or the jager one?

[fathom ocean]

Jaeger one

[light lark]

jaeger

[icy dagger]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/woods

this helps me a lot

[light lark]

im on the same site, except i have no clue where i am

[icy dagger]

im currently trying to do that quest too

lmao that happens to me alot too

[bold kernel]

If no one helps you we can try going together. It'll be a little tough though.

[icy dagger]

i usually try to find a road and then follow that through the shadows

[bold kernel]

I'm very lazy. Sadly.

[light lark]

please😭

[bold kernel]

All right pick a channel.

[icy dagger]

alright good luck

[light lark]

lfg reserve 23

[fathom ocean]

Reserve?

[light lark]

its faster

[icy dagger]

is there any way i can get the pistol grip for the MP-133 before skier level 2?

[fathom ocean]

Jaeger

[bold kernel]

[fathom ocean]

6.8k from jaeger Lv1

[icy dagger]

nice

all i have to do is complete that mission

ive tried at least 6 times now

its rather painful

[fathom ocean]

I can help y’all if nobody can rn

[minor rain]

Does aps have bigger mags than 20?

[light lark]

@bold kernel go lfg woods 5

mb

[bold kernel]

All right.

[icy dagger]

the only time ive gotten really close was when i tried two extract points that i didnt know required cash or a scav

then i got blown up

ill try again soon but i cant right now

[fathom ocean]

Join them

[icy dagger]

who?

[fathom ocean]

They’re about to do it rn

@bold kernel and @light lark

[minor rain]

whats good 9x18 ammo?

[icy dagger]

which channle

[trim topaz]

can anyone help me?? ive only played 3 games and have lost most of my loot

[fathom ocean]

Why are you using pistols so much 😂

[minor rain]

feeling burnt out of the game

for instince i blew all my money on peas and a case to hold them

[fathom ocean]

Looks like PBM is the best

[icy dagger]

that is fucking amazing

i love that so much '

[fathom ocean]

Mine is full of aquamaris and super waters lnfao

[minor rain]

only costed around 2 mil with the case and everything

[icy dagger]

excellent use of cash

[minor rain]

thank you, i thought so aswell

[fathom ocean]

Lmfao

[icy dagger]

also another question sorry is there any way to get .300 blackout rounds before leveling up peacekeeper, I found a gun that only takes that ammo in in a bag left in a bush in customs

[fathom ocean]

Either Skier level 2 or PK Lvl 4

Or flea

I wouldn’t even use that skier ammo

I would just sell the gun

[minor rain]

ok im never touching a pistol again in my life

[fathom ocean]

Lmfao

[minor rain]

what is head bobbing btw? should i lower it completely?

[trim topaz]

can anyone help a level 2?

[fathom ocean]

Yes lower it completely, it’s how much your head moves when you run

[icy dagger]

how do u need help?

i cant play rn btw

[trim topaz]

no idea what im doing lmao just bought the game a few days ago

[bold kernel]

explains the pfp

[trim topaz]

lmaooo

[icy dagger]

what i did when i first got the game like two weeks ago was grind scav raids to get a feeling for the game along with the occasional good piece of loot that helped alot to get a little xp along with some really good items like a labs key card and a marked dorms key

after that and what im doing now is going to traders and looking for tasks they hand out

instead of using the good guns you get when starting the game i do a few scav runs to get some decent loot like an ok gun along with a pack and armour and such then do tasks and raids as a PMC

[trim topaz]

gotcha, i havent done any of the traders traders tasks yet. i am about to start the first one rn

[icy dagger]

thats the prapor one or the therapist one?

[trim topaz]

prapor i gotta do first with the 5 scavs and the 2 shotguns

[icy dagger]

yeah that one is pretty easy

the two shot guns especially i dont know if its just me but i find loads of mp 133s

then i think if your not ready you can just do the 5 scav kills in offline mode

i dont know if the offline kills will count toward the task but for it did for me

[icy dagger]

for the therapist one i am having trouble finding salewa kits

[trim topaz]

ive been playing for like 10 minutes and havent found a single scav

[icy dagger]

lmao

[bold kernel]

you can craft them and they’ll count for the quest

[icy dagger]

i find that new gas station will almost always have a few

is this an offline or online raid?

@trim topaz

[trim topaz]

yes

[icy dagger]

so if its offline did you select the button that said enable PVE?

[trim topaz]

not sure lol

[icy dagger]

lol

[icy dagger]

yeah they definitely wont spawn if you didnt

try new gas station and if theyre not there maybe dissconnect and try again

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs

i find this helps alot

[light lark]

i got off

[trim topaz]

trying to find an exfil point lol to leave

[icy dagger]

lmao

double tap O for me

[icy dagger]

run all the way down this road

and keep on going until you meet a roadblock down the end

if this doesnt work turn around and take a left

yeah so if u go back and to the left and continue along that road you will find another roadblock

and just straight, no turns

keep going

to your left up here will be new gas station, most of the time scavs will be here and sometimes the scav boss reshala

find a way around it back to the road

keep going

to your right there is a hole

in the wall

keep going until you see a hole in the concrete wall to your right

then follow the path

and at the end you go right and there should be a concrete looking bunker thing

stop

go back

there

that

thats extract ZB-1011 or something

[trim topaz]

thank you

[icy dagger]

no problem,

[trim topaz]

this game is stressfull lol

[icy dagger]

lmao ikr

[fathom ocean]

What y’all doing

[icy dagger]

its worst when you have really good loot and you need to find an extract

[icy dagger]

i cant talk rn so im typing in what to do

[fathom ocean]

Did he make it out yet?

[trim topaz]

yeah

[icy dagger]

enable bosses

if you want

sorry if the scav kills don't count in offline mode, they did for me but i dont know if they are meant to

its good practise either way

you got the same extract as last time so when your done go to the same place

that black car behind you sometimes spawns good loot

[trim topaz]

i cant shoot lol

[icy dagger]

esmatch or whatever would be best to stop heavy bleeding

try alt t

u gotta drag a mag from your pouch thing into your gun

now press b to select firing modes

if u press alt t it will give u an estimate of how much ammo u have left

also double tapping r will give you a quick reload where u drop the mag entirely

right now you need to focus on stopping your heavybleading

gg

you can just press r

sorry about that

[trim topaz]

lmaoooo

[icy dagger]

you dont loose anythig so its all good

so what happens when you run out of ammo you can press r to switch to your other mags

[trim topaz]

i tried hitting r

[icy dagger]

did u bring a rig or belt thing

?

it could be because theyre in your gamma pouch thing

[trim topaz]

i think they were in my pockets or my pouch

[icy dagger]

show me your character real quick

yeah thats it

put a mag in your mp5 now so you dont have to later

and bring one of your back packs along with those head phoens

you see down the bottom the little blue thing

in your character menue

on the left side of your stash

the small button

yes

you see the greyed out thing in your stash

next to the whisky

you can middle mouse click to examine things faster

try it in the traders

[trim topaz]

i already did it with nall the traders

all

[icy dagger]

i see

its just a shortcut to do it with clicking the scroll button

[trim topaz]

this one should go a lot better lol

[icy dagger]

lol lets hope so

good luck

a good thing to do first iso to make sure all ur guns are doing what u want

like if they are loaded and in the correct firing mode

to your left the concrete wall is the same one that is by the main road

the building ur in now is good for collecting nuts and bolts

that thing scared the crap out of me the first time i saw it

remember where you are?

since you have lots of time you should just explore and try and kill scavs

nothing much is this way

x is to go prone btw

that jumo is possibel

you can do it if u sprint

be ready

the dude didnt even hit your armour

he went straight for the leg

lmao

NICE!

dont loot yet! there could be other scavs!

looks like your fine

loot up and heal up

take the goggles

you can put them on

you should prob heal before those pain killlers wear off

you see the tabs above that say overall gear and health

click health to see what your at

use a splint on your left arm

drag it over

to heal a blacked out limb like your right leg you need a CMS kit or survival kit to heal it above 0 so it can be healed further

should prob check ur ammo

damn

[trim topaz]

rip

[icy dagger]

you did alot better that time

three scavs?

[trim topaz]

this game is definitly a lot to take in

2

[icy dagger]

ikr

i had a friedn to explain only a little to me and it helped so much

[trim topaz]

im used to playing valorant and csgo so this is a lot different

[icy dagger]

but there i still alot i dont know

[modest pagoda]

it's not that much when you first get into it pretty easy to understand everything considering it's mostly common sense and just running around

[icy dagger]

the looting isnt too common sense

you gotta know whats worth it and whats good to trafe

[twilit marsh]

⁉️

[icy dagger]

you see the button down the bottom that says messages

[modest pagoda]

I mean you would keep everything when ur new regardless

[icy dagger]

click get

you can click control and it will go to ur inventory immefiatly

[trim topaz]

what happened to that shotgun i picked up

or do i need to exfil with it?

[icy dagger]

since u did an offline raid the loot that you had didnt get sent through with you

if it were an online game you wouldnt get any of the stuff that you picked up that you would loose everything on you except what is in the yellow container

if you die in an online game you loose everything you havent insured

[trim topaz]

so i need to go online to do the task with the shotguns?

[icy dagger]

yes

what i recomend is to do scav runs to get the shot guns

so its basicly no risk with lots of reward

[trim topaz]

so just do the same thing but online?

[icy dagger]

u should prob do a scav run rn to see if u could get a shotty and also to just learn the mao

click accept

now you can complete the misions

wait!

actually nv,

nvm

its all good

since you now accepted the task to kill scavs, the task may work

but since your offline you wont be able to take any of the loot you find in the raid into your actual stash

[viscid geyser]

whats the best way to finish the task where u need to kill 3 pmc's with pistols?

[icy dagger]

i havent got to that yet lmao

[bold kernel]

factory

[fathom ocean]

Yessirrr run factory naked with a pistol and a spare mag or 2

[candid tundra]

how expensive are these, i killed a guy who had em while on a scav run

[fathom ocean]

45k

[viscid geyser]

,> are u killing scav players

[bold kernel]

the cheap nvgs hurt my head

[whole thistle]

He didn't say he killed a scav, just a guy 😳

[candid tundra]

no i killed a pmc, he was campin at the dome on reserve

i just got killed by a player scav though and lost it

[viscid geyser]

o

[trail kindle]

where is a good place to get mp-133? need them for task

[viscid geyser]

i think i got mine off a scav

[bold kernel]

jaegar sells them

[viscid geyser]

i think u need a found in raid one for the quest tho

[solid maple]

whats this missing for gunsmith 14

[bold kernel]

no i’m sure you don’t, i think prapor even says “you probably just bought it off some trader huh?” something like that

[fervent swift]

I got it from trying to fix mechanics bitcoin miners

[dim monolith]

Im also new but i think it uses a different Stock

[indigo bobcat]

Are shotguns worth using? Or should I sell any i end up with?

[bronze laurel]

Correct, can be bought

[fathom ocean]

Try them out

[bronze laurel]

they are cheap and with magnum buck you can take down anything if played right

[indigo bobcat]

I have, Ive lost 2 of them now cause I run into someone at range or get one tapped by snipers i cant see 😅

[fathom ocean]

Yeah they are only fit for certain situations, but in those situations you can really fuck somebody up

[bronze laurel]

the range issue you can overcome by playing with slugs, pref ap-20. Though those cost a ton before unlocking them at traders

[fathom ocean]

So I would say they’re worth using just make sure you know what your shooting out of it, and what fights to take with it

[dim monolith]

i have good luck with the Super Perfomace Shells aswell

[indigo bobcat]

alright, well considering im new and still feeling things out ill probably just sell them

[fathom ocean]

You don’t need fancy ammo for them

Throw on a buckshot

[indigo bobcat]

Thats what i was using. I was just curious if i should just sell them or not really. Im still learning the maps and when to take engagements. I figured it would be good to run a shotgun on interchange but I got one tapped checking a cache on my way to exit

[fathom ocean]

Yeah that just sounds like a shit situation that you couldn’t do much about

[indigo bobcat]

figures lol

[fervent swift]

Caches on the way to railway?

[indigo bobcat]

yup, the one under the bridge

[fervent swift]

I feel like there's often people holding them/going for them

Oh that one is usually safe

[indigo bobcat]

yeah, dude waited for me to check it. i took 3 steps back and got whacked

[fervent swift]

The 5 on the edge on the other hand are always quite risky

[indigo bobcat]

I went there on my last run, but i cant find 2 of them to save my life. I would have gone for those instead of under the bridge but i went for a computer parts run through idea and just wanted to B line it

[fervent swift]

I'm guessing that one of those two are the second one when you come from scav camp

[indigo bobcat]

its all three closest to scav camp i think. The farthest 2 are super close and easy to find

[fervent swift]

First is easy to find if you go straight from the gap between the fallen wall pieces

It's in basically the middle on the last little hill with trees before the big sandy patch/puddle

Wooden type cache

[indigo bobcat]

alright, ill have to try and find it

[digital tundra]

yo i need some info about this game i just started playing today
[2:11 AM]
anyone have a min? maybe hop in a vc

[fervent swift]

The second one is the really hard one to find at first

But the third is on the 2nd big pile of rubble on the side facing the first cache

[viscid geyser]

[merry dust]

hmmmmmmmm

[fervent swift]

Yesterday I got killed by NoTTV_TTV

Was pretty meta

[viscid geyser]

was told most ttv players are hackers

this dude dont even have a twitch account

[merry dust]

outplayed

[fervent swift]

Nah, they're memers

[merry dust]

skill issue

he is simply on a different level bro

[viscid geyser]

i mean on rat level

[fervent swift]

Others claim that ttv helps to keep hackers away

[viscid geyser]

sitting in a bush by extract on woods

[fervent swift]

They never do

[indigo spade]

Was it outskirts?

[viscid geyser]

woods

[indigo spade]

yeah, but outskirts extract?

[viscid geyser]

yes

[indigo spade]

just shot at a guy camping it

didnt get him

I saw him creeping on my teamie

people really out here camping outskirts

[merry dust]

[indigo bobcat]

Alright thank you, ill have to load into an offline and try to find them all. Im not confident enough to go inside the stores unlessi use my scav

[fathom ocean]

Interchange is so fucking crazy I love it

[indigo bobcat]

i like the map design, but the inside is so intimidating

[fathom ocean]

Yeah the map looks amazing I like everything about it excluding the fact that the maps for it are so fucking hard to look at that I would learn it better with just running inside and dying myself 😂

And on interchange I’m forced to fight atleast one PMC almost every raid which I’m starting to not really care about

[indigo bobcat]

See i find at least one person, but its either i get absolutely smacked by someone I cant see. Or i take a couple of shots and they run

[fathom ocean]

Oh yeah it is dark asf too, I feel like when the power is turned on it should be brighter

Way brighter

And the way to play interchange is really to just run around like you’re crazy, slow walking will get you killed

[indigo spade]

It'd be cool if all the power came on like regular mall lighting but the new lights would create new shadows to hide in

[indigo bobcat]

I understand that, but even a few more lights in some darker spots would be nice. Please tell me your kidding? i slow walk almost constantly trying to hear people

[fathom ocean]

Maybe it’s just the way I play but I’m rarely slow walking I’m either running or at a complete stop

[indigo bobcat]

ill have to try that then

[fathom ocean]

It’s worth a shot definitely but it’s not for everybody

[indigo bobcat]

what kind of guns do you run?

[tulip whale]

Whatever I have lying around in my stash, but usually the most fun guns for me are things like the Ash 12, RSASS, DVL, MP9-n

[fathom ocean]

Rn I literally just run ak103

With bp

[indigo bobcat]

what do you recommend for a level 4?

[fathom ocean]

I craft it

[fathom ocean]

Ana M1 or M2 trades

[tulip whale]

SKS or VPO 136 with 762 PS ammo

[fathom ocean]

I make aquamaris for them

Ohhhh my fault

I thought he meant class 4

[tulip whale]

Level 4 you only have limited options for what you can get, but generally 762x39 guns are going to be your best bet as its the only caliber you can get decent ammo for

[fathom ocean]

Whatever you can put 7.62x39 in I would use It’s so good

[indigo bobcat]

alright thank you guys, imma get a sks and try a run

[tulip whale]

Good luck!

[fathom ocean]

Yessirr

[soft timber]

how can you make it so your screen doesn't get blurred when you get shot at?

[bold kernel]

its part of the game

[viscid geyser]

this is how my scav runs go

[merry dust]

14 seconds

[bold kernel]

weak

[viscid geyser]

how do i put scopes on snipers

[bold kernel]

ive died as soon as ive spawned once

it was factory tho

[viscid geyser]

where do i buy a scope for this and how do i put it on?

[merry dust]

ya got flea?

[viscid geyser]

no

[merry dust]

[viscid geyser]

im level 12

[merry dust]

go task up

foo

[viscid geyser]

im trying lol this is the only gun i got

gotta get scav kills on woods

nvm i figured the scope thing out

[strong turtle]

YO

WHEN you are usin the stupid compass

is the red arrow pointing the way ur going

its so hard to see it

the numbers i mean

[fathom ocean]

That task doesn’t lead to anything else, I would focus on another one

[viscid geyser]

its xp tho

and probaly money

i only have like 20k atm

[fathom ocean]

You’re going to need to kill scavs on woods for jaeger soon

[candid tundra]

what maps the best to find dead bodies on as a scav, i normally go reserve i either find nobody or 20 dead bodies is 1 place

[fathom ocean]

Just stack them

[merry dust]

Not a lot

[fathom ocean]

Are you trying to make money or you want dead bodies

[merry dust]

But it gives rep most importantly

[merry dust]

Go d2

[strong turtle]

so red arrow points whch way ur headed on compass right

[fathom ocean]

I have no clue compasses are dog shit

Just use a landmark to guide you

[strong turtle]

trying to learn where shit is via compass

but k

[fathom ocean]

I feel you 😂

[strong turtle]

omfg thre is a # on the right of the screen

lmao

ok i was looking at the compass itself

couldnt tell shit

[fervent swift]

Red arrow points north

[proven saddle]

bruh it says "N"

and the white one says "S"

[narrow gull]

just use the number bottom right for bearing

[fervent swift]

Americans not knowing how a compass works

[fathom ocean]

Bruh

[mellow matrix]

Ye how

[merry dust]

Americans

[proven saddle]

right

[fathom ocean]

Mf talking about not knowing how to use a compass like im a mf Boy Scout or some shit

[proven saddle]

[mellow matrix]

I swear in all american films lets say during police chase they just say "east of your location" etc. Like every ficking american has a compass in his brain and can tell where east is at all times

[proven saddle]

they usually mean "right" not east

which is dumb

[fervent swift]

Could also be that they know the city and which direction is where

[merry dust]

stands for never ate eggrolls

[fervent swift]

You know, basic spatial awareness

[proven saddle]

it seems counter intuitive

[merry dust]

that I never ate eggrolls?

[proven saddle]

ive lived in my city for 21 years and yes, i could figure out where east and west are but front, back, right, left would be much faster

[mellow matrix]

What ar eeggrolls

[merry dust]

Rolling eggs

[mellow matrix]

...

[proven saddle]

this

[merry dust]

I’m hard

nmmm

the duck sauce too

[mellow matrix]

Looks kinda like saigons

[merry dust]

what’s a saigon

[mellow matrix]

Uhh

[proven saddle]

this is what i got

[mellow matrix]

Spring roll ?

[proven saddle]

lmao

[mellow matrix]

Lmao

Okay that was no tthe right word

[merry dust]

spring roll = river?

[merry dust]

Looks amazing

[mellow matrix]

I kinda took the word from my language and...made it sound a bit more english lol

[proven saddle]

its in vietnam

[mellow matrix]

Thats defo how i should speak the language

[proven saddle]

not that great anymore

[merry dust]

o

[merry dust]

is that polish

[proven saddle]

imagine being a tango instructor in vietnam

[merry dust]

what language is that

[mellow matrix]

...yes

[merry dust]

LEYSSSS GOOO

I GOT IT RIGJT

[mellow matrix]

Gj :D

[merry dust]

[proven saddle]

polish is pretty easy to identify

[mellow matrix]

kurwa

[merry dust]

cause it’s hilariously unique

[proven saddle]

czech and all them are kinda hard

theyre all the same

[mellow matrix]

And hilariously stupid

Like

u and ó

Are the same letters

Read the same

[proven saddle]

you clearly dont speak romanian

[mellow matrix]

But u have to remember to use which where

Same goes for ż and rz

[proven saddle]

kids is spelled copii and "THE kids" is copiii

triple i

gl

[mellow matrix]

Okay

Imma bow to that

[proven saddle]

triple i sigma vibe

sigma energy

also romanian is a blend between all the languages

like latin, russian, german, english

[merry dust]

[proven saddle]

its a fucking mess

[mellow matrix]

Idk man, polish is weird

[proven saddle]

i prob speak better english than i do romanian

[mellow matrix]

Similar to russian but also to literally every other slav language

Also a mix

[proven saddle]

grammatically speaking

[mellow matrix]

I mean

Its easier for me to form sentences in english

Than polish

But to pronounce english

Is a different story lol

[proven saddle]

eh my tongue kinda does its own thing sometimes but other than that its not that bad

[main bloom]

can somebody help me do jaeger's quest 'the survivalist path' where i have to hide some MRE's in two places

i can't find the places lol

[bold kernel]

what setting is for the trees and bushes that dont load in at distance<

I believe it's Object LOD.

[pastel agate]

Any tips for getting stirrup done?

[narrow gull]

glock factory and hope for unarmored head
or grind flea out and run 5-7/shrimp

or like mp-443 instead of glock

[fathom ocean]

Go naked on factory

[trail kindle]

does killing scavs as pmc decrease my rep with fence?

[fathom ocean]

No

[icy frost]

is m855 good?

pre flea and all traders lvl 1

[bronze laurel]

only thing worth running pre flea

unless you can find something better

buuut you are better of running 7.62 PS, cheap and gets the job done

[narrow gull]

good enough to hunt scavs, not so much pmc

[paper socket]

Yeah, sks and 7.62 is ok pre flea

[bronze laurel]

yep, or even beter aw 7.62 vpo, bigger mags and faster reload

*an

[dense tide]

decent for scavs, doodoo for pmcs if they have armor.

[icy frost]

i mean i can't really buy vpo mags that ren't 4 rounds

[bronze laurel]

not that one, the ak look alike

[dense tide]

the 7.62 vpo, not the bolt action. skier is selling them

[icy frost]

oh

[dense tide]

you can also get the akademia bastion dust cover and a red dot from him. relatively cheap

[bronze laurel]

yea, think of it like the adar of the ak-platform

[icy frost]

so PS gzh would be a good choice then?

fence is selling t-45m1 gzh as well

[bronze laurel]

t-45 not worth, PS more pen and cheap from prapor

[icy frost]

okay

[viscid geyser]

what do i do when my screen goes black while loading into a map? like i can still hear and everything i just cant see

i didnt get a count down timer it was just loading then went black

[bold kernel]

Never encountered that problem before. Does it happen often?

[viscid geyser]

nah first time

[proud scarab]

does it go black then suddenly to the timer after?

or black then straight into the map

[viscid geyser]

nope its literally all black besides the game build number at the bottom left

[proud scarab]

interesting

[viscid geyser]

i was waiting for a game on customs and when it was done loading loot it just turned black

i can hear the wind and birds like you hear before your about to load in

[bold kernel]

Do you have it on Fullscreen?

[viscid geyser]

o

i got a error

[bold kernel]

oh

[viscid geyser]

server connection failed

[bold kernel]

Well, I guess that answers that.

[viscid geyser]

do i lose my stuff

ok nvm its good

[bold kernel]

Well, if you didn't load in you can confirm leave and you should retain your items.

[viscid geyser]

yea lol

also is op-sks better than the normal sks?

[bold kernel]

You can put a scope on op-sks.

So, in terms of modification, yes.

Other than that it's the same aside from MOA.

[viscid geyser]

ok

can u get a suppressor for sks?

opsks

[granite prawn]

Yeah

It's not available at level one traders tho

[viscid geyser]

o

[bold kernel]

Yeah. It's sad.

[viscid geyser]

starting to like the sks

[granite prawn]

Hmu if you want to run some raids later, I can show u some tips

[granite prawn]

It's pretty solid

[bold kernel]

A somewhat alternative could be a 366 VPO.

You can buy the 366 suppressors easily.

[viscid geyser]

nah i like the semi

i suck with the bolt action ones lol

[granite prawn]

VPO is semi

Wait

[viscid geyser]

isnt vpo a bolt action sniper

[autumn umbra]

i got a semi

[granite prawn]

Fuck Imm thinking of the AK platform

[bold kernel]

Yeah, that's what I was talking about.

They're both called vpo.

[granite prawn]

SKS is cool because it's dirt cheap and no one will take it, but you're limiting yourself in terms of stats and mods

[viscid geyser]

ooo yea ik what u mean know

[granite prawn]

Even decked out SKSs are left behind

[viscid geyser]

i usally just sell the vpo that i get

[bold kernel]

Personally, I don't think there's much to go by with level 1 traders.

I mostly deal with decent ammo guns.

I never use pst 9mm

[viscid geyser]

ive been running ak's when i find them

brb raid time lol

[granite prawn]

Here's a hot take. 5.45 isn't viable early on, stick to 7.62

[viscid geyser]

,> ded

been tring to do the bunk house quest but i always die before i can get there lol

[proud niche]

is the usec camp in woods a heavily camped spot

i've been sniped 3 times trying to get there...

[bold kernel]

Sounds like a yes to me.

[narrow gull]

i mean it's one of the more visited locations on the map

and the surrounding area is kinda open

[bold kernel]

Early on in the wipe me and my friends tried to hit that. We never got lucky.

[proud niche]

i've got there once succesfully and when i was running away i got nsiped lol

well i don't really wanna loot it i just wanna get there for my mission and get away

[indigo spade]

theres a spawn that has a sightline on a table with attachments in usec camp

[proud niche]

yeah

i think im just gonna go in with nothing

run towards it

and then head out

because now i keep on losing stuff

and it starts to annoy me

[indigo spade]

whatcha trying to get to?

[proud niche]

i need to do the search misson from prapor

[indigo spade]

oh, you need convoy related stuff

gotcha

[proud niche]

i already went to the convoy

[indigo spade]

yeah, the next part

[proud niche]

now the usec camp got me killed 3 times in a row lol

[indigo spade]

usec's kinda hot early

I usually wait a bit to head over

[proud niche]

aight

another issue is i don't really know the map lol

so i have mapgenie open on my other screen but im kinda bad at reading it :p

[indigo spade]

5-10 mins and most ppl have headed towards center or set up in their snipe spot

[proud niche]

aight

so get in

loot some stuff

[indigo spade]

you run into the mines yet?

[proud niche]

nope but i know where they are

[indigo spade]

I use that little land bridge that heads over to convoy area to make sure its the right side

lost too many legs on those mines 😭

[proud niche]

haha

that sucks

[indigo spade]

I'd run woods with ya if you want

[proud niche]

aight

[indigo spade]

I need one scav kill while stimmed

[proud niche]

your eu?

[indigo spade]

So thats a fine area for me too

Nah, Na east

[proud niche]

i also need the 15 scav skills lol

hmm

[indigo spade]

I played with uk earlier and he didnt seem to have a prob

[proud niche]

[minor rain]

damn i thought i was still chilling with money then i looked up at my cash, i want to cry am poor

maybe buying a case and 64 peas wasnt a power move

[ancient palm]

How does vehicle extracts help? What do you mean by this?

[unreal horizon]

This is the definition of a power move

[merry dust]

Vehicle extracts are kinda fences people, so in turn of paying and taking one of their extract it’ll give you .24 rep and it halves each use 12 to 6 etc all the way down to .01 where it is at its final resting point, these do not refresh unless our god Nikita says so

[merry dust]

You did the right thing.

[ancient palm]

Wait so when you say vehicle extract, it literally means extracting items from vehicles? Dumb question but just want clarity

[merry dust]

No

[ancient palm]

oh

[merry dust]

it’s a normal extract

[minor rain]

thank you for the reassurance, i dont know what i was thinking it was a power move

[merry dust]

it has to be open

and you must pay for it

[ancient palm]

ahh ok ok so vehicle extraction points i get you

[minor rain]

wanna see my pea

[merry dust]

depending on your fence rep

[merry dust]

yes pls

[minor rain]

mmmm yummy

[merry dust]

one step closer to chad

[merry dust]

peeees.

[ancient palm]

Wait so if I use vehicle extract as a Scav I pay the fence? In turn my rep goes up with him?

[minor rain]

Pea boy right next to piss boy in my stash

[merry dust]

You can’t use it as a scav, only pmc

and you pay fence

and your rep goes up

[ancient palm]

o alright i think i get it, thanks

[merry dust]

no prob

beginners assistance

[leaden grove]

[minor rain]
