[quaint onyx]

durability

[lusty raptor]

smart man ty

[quaint onyx]

[lusty raptor]

[lusty raptor]

ty fam

[sharp oracle]

-LFG
-Level 8....
-2nd Wipe... , got to level 6.NA East (but I guess I can play on any server from what I been told)
-Basically New to the game
-Dont care what map, or any of that. Prefer keeping comms to business as not a huge fan of small talk (due to anxiety)

[vapid beacon]

is there a way to see the total cost of the gun?

[unreal horizon]

edit the preset and buy parts

[lusty raptor]

k now this one isn't working

[unreal horizon]

read the stats required, something's wrong

the common problems are folding, and bullets in mag, so its something simple

[lusty raptor]

fking barrel size?

260mm barrel

there is no 260mm barrel for the M4

[unreal horizon]

there is

[lusty raptor]

why is gun modding so hard

jesus

[lusty spruce]

Anyone wanna do a few raids with a noob?

does not have to be now, gonna stream halo infinite for a bit

hmu

[lusty raptor]

i can't search things if i havn't discovered them yet

i guess

and idk how tf to get to the base gun to discover it

[unreal horizon]

you can search for undiscovered items, ig just none for sale atm

[pure mist]

wait it's out?

[lusty raptor]

insanity

[azure quarry]

How much is a green card?

[pure mist]

its barters

@azure quarry are you looking to sell?

[azure quarry]

what should I barter for mine? i got one

[pure mist]

thicc weapon case + something else would be good

@azure quarry how much do you want for it im actually looking to buy one

[azure quarry]

im not sure man

[dark arrow]

since when was yellow expensive

what the fuck

[bold kernel]

pog

That one guy has 4.

[grizzled minnow]

what are some easy guides to swallow for this game

[royal edge]

Why is there an 84 round mag for the pm pistol

[forest marsh]

why is life

[bold kernel]

I mean it's for the PPSH too.

The modern equivalent to that is a glock 50 round mag.

[royal edge]

I know but Like why

[bold kernel]

The more the merrier I suppose.

[royal edge]

Fair enough I guess

[icy frost]

alright bois

i need quick money

what should i go for

[forest marsh]

rat factory run

[unreal horizon]

interchange scav

[royal edge]

What's a good set up for the mp-133 for the mechanic

[royal edge]

So its my recoil. Got it

[vapid beacon]

https://youtu.be/HSImZMCcFmM

How did he even spot the enemy at 0:30?

[unreal horizon]

most people use monitor settings for the game, they aren't seeing the same screen you're seeing

[vapid beacon]

My monitor has this settings called black equalizer which increases the gamma, you think he used something like that?

[green pumice]

yo should i get this game if i am going to play solo

[barren spruce]

Whats a recommended painkiller?

Just stick to regulars

[river rampart]

propitol is my favorite

otherwise regular ones are fine

I'd bring two in my container though

[lusty raptor]

propital heals tho

isn't morphin the painkiller

i can't see shit in the dark on this game until i messed with graphics cards setting

from the AMD platform, but it burn my eyes

[frail ridge]

@green pumice you know the best way to play tarkov is solo

you get the most done

its fun with friends but by far you get the most done and have the best raids solo

unless you and your friends are all chads, trio and quad raids are hard, duo is still good but solo best

[unreal horizon]

you'll make the most money solo but it can be boring

[frail ridge]

now the question is, im ASSSS so to get better, if i get good gear should i run it? or save it to use when till im a bit better

[unreal horizon]

up to you

[bold kernel]

how do I find graphics cards

[unreal horizon]

check gpu spawns?

[jolly lily]

Did they change run speed or something my pmc feels way slower than it did like 2 days ago feels like my game is broken slow

[frail ridge]

you lose stats now idk if that much but maybe you were overweight?

[jolly lily]

I fixed it restarted my game idk what was wrong it felt like I was running through the shoreline swamp but It's normal now

[unreal horizon]

The swamp slows you down

[jolly lily]

I don't think you understand running in the field in the open felt like I was in the swamp but it was just bugged and it works now after restarting

I couldn't run before

[boreal geyser]

Anyone wanna help me out? msg me on dc

[ivory oxide]

?

[iron prism]

i'm level 15 but i can access flee market

thought it was changed to 20?

[unreal horizon]

changed to 15 today

[rapid tiger]

so i spawned and got shot in 5 seconds and lost all my stuff

rlly livin the tarkov experience

[red flame]

norbit a cool movie

[rapid tiger]

fax

[royal edge]

My worse time is 8 seconds

[merry dust]

mine is 5

[grizzled minnow]

where do i get tape measure

[river rampart]

tool boxes

[grizzled minnow]

any maps thAt have a lot of those

[bold kernel]

You can also find them in filing cabinets which are very plentiful.

[unreal horizon]

Go to the warehouse side of interchange (west along oli and goshan)

[grizzled minnow]

also how do i bind something to a 4-0 hotkey

[bold kernel]

It has to be in pockets or rig. Just hover your mouse over it and click whatever number.

[quaint oxide]

Interchange back rooms tend to have a lot of them. They are low value so even in a scav raid there are a ton. Look on the shelves for loose loot

[grizzled minnow]

how do you get night vision stuff as well

[quaint oxide]

Flea market or skier

Ive found if you do a night raid, some sniper scavs will have it

I took a set off the sniper scav on Customs by the checkpoint

[cold arrow]

i need help

im not doing to good

i died 3 minutes in and i hav e 3980 rubles left

that picture did not work lol

[velvet blade]

I keep hearing weird metallic thuds in my game, wtf is happening?

[runic shuttle]

Out of curiosity, how bad is de-sync in tarkov? My internet is already not the greatest, but I've heard tarkov has a lot of de-symc issues

[unreal horizon]

same

[jovial quest]

why bring that at level 16!~!!!!! mega chad

[velvet blade]

are you in woods?

[unreal horizon]

reserve

thuds in woods could be landmines?

[royal edge]

I have never seen a skav player camping extraction before. That's a new one

[crisp nest]

reserve has mines

[potent crater]

Makes sense

[potent crater]

I hope he enjoys the one hour wait times

[royal edge]

I do to. He's a d***

[cloud rover]

ayyo what are your favourite foregrips?? Both money, technical-wise

[royal edge]

My next scav run should be fun

[royal edge]

I'm a fan or the kac vg. It's cheap

[crisp nest]

and doesnt affect recoil

use the afg if u can get it

[royal edge]

Right now I'll be happy if I can get out of woods alive

[crisp nest]

dont needany modding then

u dont see ppl on woods

if u play it smart

[potent crater]

Is it on the valday scav?

[crisp nest]

e.g. usec camp gets rushed so go their later

there

[royal edge]

...... I keep exploding

[crisp nest]

or not at all

[crisp nest]

use a map

theres also warning signs

[royal edge]

I have no idea what that is

[crisp nest]

like skull signs b4 the mines lol

[potent crater]

The scav that has the valday

[royal edge]

No its granaids. I know to avoid the mines. Yes I know I spelled that wrong

[wintry kite]

All my friends says there's a new event, any info on what the event is about, unless it's just the fleamarket lvl change

[royal edge]

Almost exclusively by the lake on my way out

[crisp nest]

night?

or day

[royal edge]

Day

[potent crater]

Dude I was so annoyed at resort this nade insta explode on me

[crisp nest]

weird

at night it could be cultists

[potent crater]

Cultists are thicc

[royal edge]

Last time I went out at night I accidentally rain into a minefeild

[whole thistle]

windows shift s

[royal edge]

Discord on phone not computer

[bold kernel]

I just seem inexplicably shit

for no reason

like I just can't secure kills against other players for some reason

[drifting nebula]

Just reset my account so if there are any new players that need to do opening quests lmk

[worthy stream]

You either peak left hand angles (Ex: walking through a door sideways with your left arm first, rather than right arm), start/get put into fights from bad positions, or you just have really really really bad aim.

[bold kernel]

maybe I just have shit aim

I seem to just magically miss most shots after the first one or two

that or I don't do enough damage

not sure how exactly I can even aim better though

[crisp nest]

aim train

not as useful in tarkov though

tbh i just aim well from playing other fps

[tranquil shore]

I usually aim train in Factory. Offline mode, Horde, Tagged And Cursed

[crisp nest]

i have about 2k+ hrs in diff fps games which tbh isnt even much

and some tarkov players are rust players

and uhh

yeah those guys got a lotta hours playing fps games lmao

[bold kernel]

I've been playing fps games pretty much my entire life

I have atleast several thousand hours

[crisp nest]

like example is bakeezy

[bold kernel]

is it just shitty gear

because I get like 7 hits and 230 damage

[crisp nest]

is ex tier 2? cs pro and was twitch rivals apex player

[crisp nest]

what ammo

[tranquil shore]

Most of those hours isn’t pvp tho, and you can’t compare Rust pvp with Tarkov. That’s why this game is fun, No game is like Tarkov

[bold kernel]

ps gs usually

[crisp nest]

yeah just talking about the aim

cuz the aim minus the spray is the same if u can run the same sens

[crisp nest]

uh

why

just use budget ammos like bt or bp

[bold kernel]

cause it's what prapor sells

[crisp nest]

or headshot

[crisp nest]

no flea?

[bold kernel]

I have flea

[crisp nest]

or use a diff ammo for budget

like m80

[bold kernel]

mf I can buy another ak for the price of a mag of bt

who the fuck uses bt

[crisp nest]

thats like the low end

if u wanna kill ppl

[potent crater]

Me

[night mountain]

Do I need to get an adapter to put a scope on a certain gun?

[crisp nest]

what scope

and what gun

[potent crater]

Yah it is gun and scope dependent

[bold kernel]

well I lost alot of money from doing factory pvp budget runs

but I scavved factory and found a guy with a meta kit and got like 400k from selling it

[potent crater]

What kits were you running

[bold kernel]

pretty much just the cheapest 5.45 ak I could buy on the flea and some ps

and a hat and glasses

gonna use bp now

[merry dust]

i get more from customs

met a guy with killa armor mutant airframe and some nice looties

[potent crater]

How much did you lose

[bold kernel]

like 200k

it's not ALOT

[potent crater]

“A lot of money”

[bold kernel]

but it seems like alot up until you actually start making money

[potent crater]

A couple nights ago I lost 800k

[bold kernel]

marginal amounts of money seem like alot of money when you don't gain any

[potent crater]

True

[bold kernel]

there were alot of corpses, so I feel kinda bad for leaving as soon as I got my meta loot

but I got tk'd last time I went factory and there was another scav

[crisp nest]

labs moment

[merry dust]

not labs

[crisp nest]

my friends and me lost like 3 mil collectively

[bold kernel]

oh well I just killed a camping rat bastard

[merry dust]

COLLECTIVELY?

[bold kernel]

so

[merry dust]

i lose 3m on my own

in liek 2 raids

[crisp nest]

4 man going in full kit then bob flys into us

and 1 taps us all

15secs after start of raid

[merry dust]

hmmmmm

[crisp nest]

[crisp nest]

prob lfg

[merry dust]

lfg would be best idea for atm

[sacred bloom]

ok ty

[royal edge]

So one of my insurance runs returned to me. It kinda feels like insurance as a solo player is pointless. I got a bandage back.

[crisp nest]

literally not possible

u dont get meds back

you cant insure them either

[merry dust]

LMAO

my guy

[merry dust]

brother

friend

homie

g

you cant get a bandage back

[royal edge]

I really need to turn off my auto correct

[merry dust]

ya bro

pass it off like that

[royal edge]

Balaclava

[merry dust]

understandable, have a good day.

[crisp nest]

lol

because usually ppl wear one themself

[cyan forge]

This was just a care package from proper.

[crisp nest]

things like pistols are taken bcuz no one brings one

[merry dust]

her erbis

[crisp nest]

THIS THO

[royal edge]

How did you remove the front sight

[merry dust]

[crisp nest]

just take it off

[royal edge]

The m4

[merry dust]

the m4

has a gas tube on it

[crisp nest]

then switch it with a gasblock

[merry dust]

you replace the gas tube

[royal edge]

Ah. I haven't found one yet. Just the one with the sight

[merry dust]

this little thingy

replaces the front sight

[crisp nest]

@merry dust what do i build with these traders

[merry dust]

meta mutant ofc

[crisp nest]

mechanic sells the mk12 at level 1

[merry dust]

some shitty akm

[royal edge]

I will take a look

[royal edge]

Dope

[bold kernel]

is it a good idea to go hunt people on maps that aren't factory?

[merry dust]

yes

i hunt pmcs on every map

especially customs

customs pvp is easy

[bold kernel]

wanna go kill shit on custooms

[royal edge]

I'm still struggling to kill scavs

[red flame]

this

[merry dust]

super readable

literally fortress

soundwhore it

and its so easy

[red flame]

Camping op and ez

[boreal panther]

not to be a prude but is there a way to refund this game its great but its just not for me

[tired dune]

I don't know the answer to the refund question, but why not for you?

[boreal panther]

im a more mmorpg player watch people play if was more fun then playing it myself

i tried it for a bit its cool graphics are great but just couldn't stick with me

[bold kernel]

Sadly, no.

You're stuck with the game.

Hope you didn't spend too much on it.

[boreal panther]

only the cheapest one $50

im not to upset was just wondering

[crisp nest]

no legit way for a refund

[boreal panther]

well it is what it is 🙂 maybe one day ill play a bit more

thank you very much for the help

[merry dust]

paypal doesnt give a fuck

and itll refund

but thats the only real way

[boreal panther]

im with chase bank

[fading violet]

the only way is to do a bank chargeback

but if you do that you will be IP banned

so you will never be able to play again

[boreal panther]

hehe bonk

welp it is what it is

thanks so much for the info

[glad mantle]

i think the "average life span" stat is bugged

[crisp nest]

it is

[glad mantle]

my says 3:38 but i only have 1 run through

[glad mantle]

good to know thanks, i was like wtf now way

[next rover]

i need help with the three pistal kills i keep getting killed by chunky players

[crisp nest]

no one can helpu with pistol kills

unless they flashbang

which is handicapping themself

[next rover]

no someone would play with me and i kill them in spawn and run to extract

[crisp nest]

that doesnt count

lmao

[vapid beacon]

Best assault scope?

[merry dust]

define assault

[vapid beacon]

The Assault Scope category in Flea Market

[tidal patio]

how do i report a teamkill

[fading violet]

is it from this discord?

[tidal patio]

no

[fading violet]

then no you cannot report them

don't use the in game LFG to team up

90% of the time you will be team killed for free gear

[tidal patio]

they should make that have some sort of punishment. so dumb.

[bold kernel]

Maybe someday when PMC karma becomes a thing.

But if it's anything like Scav Karma. You'll still see teamkilling.

[crisp nest]

well dont expect anything but a teamkill if u join randoms

and tks with your teammates are usually accidents or jokes

[bold kernel]

Well, yeah, randoms are a no-go.

[spare violet]

do ineed a key to open 321 room/pig room in shorline

[near hill]

is there a shoreline event

[indigo sable]

hi im on prapors bad rep evidence quest

i need the Portable Bunkhouse Key

and the factory key for the quest

i can go out an kill scavs till my brain bleeds

anyone here got 1 or2 of those keys and want to duo the quest?

[kindred night]

could anyone help me with any of these

[royal edge]

Why is the woods so hard

[bold kernel]

I ask myself the same question at times.

[indigo sable]

im about to put my dick in a drywall

why is finding factory key so hard

[merry dust]

shadownshiver caught lackin

[alpine gull]

@indigo sable just go on customs and look for keys in jackets

[indigo sable]

ive been doing that for the past hr SMH

[indigo sable]

lmao

[alpine gull]

haha I mean it can take a little while

they're sorta rare but that uncommon

just make sure to be doing other stuff on the side and not focusing completely on that or you'll go crazy

[indigo sable]

level 12 now eventually ill be 15 so LOL

[simple verge]

where can i make tons of money

[alpine gull]

hot take but I think customs is really decent

Reserve has better loot but it's way more risky

and you need keys

[ember pendant]

The map you survive the most consistently on.

[merry dust]

customs is pretty decent

[ember pendant]

Rekitting is expensive. Same with insurance.

[merry dust]

thats kinda the point

[simple verge]

i mean i got 2 east wing keys but never go there :/

[merry dust]

sell em

[alpine gull]

Yeah ofc I am just saying I prefer customs for consistent loot

[simple verge]

ok

[alpine gull]

Aren't shoreline keys pretty lame after loot rework? I don't play much shoreline

[ember pendant]

Check if they are quest keys first imo.

[alpine gull]

^

[simple verge]

too late?

[ember pendant]

Rip

[simple verge]

i hope i didnt need the keys for quest

[alpine gull]

you can always buy them when you get to flea

not a big deal they aren't rip offs anymore

[ember pendant]

Yea, shit happens. Or you can get someone to open it for you worst case.

I'd always check the wiki if you are unsure about something before you sell it though. Just for the future.

[simple verge]

so uhh for this one i need a key?

[alpine gull]

^

[merry dust]

yes

tarcone directors

[alpine gull]

Very common key thankfully

[simple verge]

well time to go customs and try to make some money and keys

[merry dust]

you got no idea

ive dropped that key 10+ times

to beginners

[alpine gull]

Hahaha there's no way

I swear jackets and keys just get ignored

maybe it's because they don't have a case to put them in so they just leave them or die with them?

[ember pendant]

People have different priorities when they are starting out.

[merry dust]

that makes sense

[simple verge]

imma rock on kazahstan servers c:

[merry dust]

also where tf does my pmc keep his m2 sword

[alpine gull]

asshole

[merry dust]

https://medal.tv/clips/66764723/d1337GKQPZHy?invite=cr-MSxoZUwsMTU4NzUxMTYs\

found clueless pmcs

[bold kernel]

shoud i sell the ak? i know ill sell the scope from it but

[tranquil shore]

Why sell the Reap-Ir?

[ember pendant]

I mean I'd part it out the dust cover, suppressor, foregrip, dloc mount, reap, and 2.5 inch rail versus vendoring them. The kiba AK isn't that great though but you could take a few parts off and make it better.

I just rather shoot 556 out of a m4/hk/tx over the 102 myself.

[vapid beacon]

Best 5.7 ammo that isn’t BP or BT?

[sand herald]

5.7?

the p90 ammo?

if that's what you mean then SS190

but since you're saying BP or BT maybe you meant 5.45x39 then that would be either BS or PPBS Igolnik

[prisma bridge]

does tier 4 helmet with tier 3 face shield even do anything?

or is it just a waste of money

[foggy egret]

wdym lol

[sand herald]

i mean they can stop shit rounds and they have a ricochet chance

[foggy egret]

good ricochet

[sand herald]

they can definitely help

[foggy egret]

better than running without a facemask

[prisma bridge]

so far only altyn with face shield has done smth to actually protect me

[hallow island]

altyn has saved me 100x less times than a exfil or zsh

[royal edge]

Other than wait for scav runs what can I do for the hour and 5 min its going to take my guy to heal.

[prisma bridge]

exactly

im using exfill

and it saved me 0 times

[hallow island]

u didnt pay to heal ur character?

[prisma bridge]

meanwhile altyn has blocked bullets soooo many times

[royal edge]

I couldn't afford to

[hallow island]

i havent died with a exfil yet

[prisma bridge]

i love that helmet

[hallow island]

altyn got penned by pst

[vapid beacon]

@sand herald 5.45 ammo. Sorry.

[hallow island]

just scav run or heal ur character urself

[prisma bridge]

but the only reason why i want other helmet is for those maps like shoreline so i can move faster and see more

[royal edge]

Someone stated me at woods and I have some unknown toxin

[prisma bridge]

and so far i feel like im wasting money

[royal edge]

Stabed

[hallow island]

oh uuh...

your gonna need a augmentin or antidote

you cant remove that effect with anything else

[royal edge]

A what now

[hallow island]

u got cursed

[sand herald]

yup then that would be BS or PPBS

[hallow island]

is BS better than BT?

[royal edge]

Fantastic. I'm going to geuss it doesn't go away on its own

[hallow island]

it does not indeed

[vapid beacon]

So. BP < BT < BS < PPBS?

I always find BP ammo in raid

Should I just play 7.62 or stay with 5.45?

[hallow island]

whats a cheaper helmet i could run? or should i just not run a helmet at all into labs

[royal edge]

And let me guess it's a rare find in the resort

[hallow island]

no you can find them anywhere

any med spawns, med bags

[prisma bridge]

idoubt exfill will actually fo anything

[vapid beacon]

I’m switching to M4 rifles because I’m playing as USEC

[prisma bridge]

if they aim at ur head ur 97% of the time dead

[hallow island]

well yes because they use good bullets

[prisma bridge]

ur gun looks nice tho

[hallow island]

im just asking if its worth at all to take incase a raider shoots at me and i dont get shit on instantly

[prisma bridge]

im starting to believe that altyn is for pvp

everything else is for scavs/factory

but thats just my experience

[vapid beacon]

Isn’t Altyn the helmet that kind of blocks every foot steps sounds?

[prisma bridge]

not rly

its not that bad actually

[vapid beacon]

Is there a disadvantage for using AK-based rifles as USEC PMC?

[kindred vault]

No

Usec/bear only difference is cosmetic and voicelines

[vapid beacon]

So they haven’t implement the BEAR/ USEC exclusive skills yet

[prisma bridge]

usec has better voicelines

[kindred vault]

Maybe in 13 years

[dreamy turtle]

what did they do to make yellow card 300k

[prisma bridge]

thats the diff

[vapid beacon]

Well, I play USEC because I can shout, “Hold your fire”, and people understand it.

[kindred vault]

CHEEKIBREEKI

Hehehe

[primal breach]

should i sell everything

im level 5, near level 6 and all my traders are level 1

[kindred vault]

Yes

You can keep the sight on the ak though

Imo a decent one

Vpo* right one

[primal breach]

k

thx

[ember pendant]

You can stack backpacks in backpacks to save space. Probably don't want to get rid of your bags unless you have a stack somewhere else.

6B47 is probably worth using too.

[prisma bridge]

does anyone buy airframe helmet?

[ember pendant]

Yes, whats up?

[prisma bridge]

so i use altyn for factory

[ember pendant]

Yea, you can pair up with another 5 man whoever deleted that question. Just depends on the map and if it allows 10 players or not.

[prisma bridge]

and prob reserve too

but i also need helmets for higher mobility and vision

on maps like shoreline interchange

maybe labs idk

woods

what do u recommend

[ember pendant]

The big thing is you can use EPs with airframes / exfil helms and still have a faceshield.

Use it in times you want better hearing vs protection.

[prisma bridge]

and also vision?

[ember pendant]

That comes down to personally choice at the end of the day. I prefer hearing over an altyn.

[prisma bridge]

on labs too?

[ember pendant]

Yea, the vision is also isn't blocked as much, but that isn't what is the swing factor for me personally.

Labs I don't wear helmets.

Most people are using good enough ammo to 1 tap you anyways.

And you get more profit by getting a helm off a raider.

[prisma bridge]

shh-68 would do then

[ember pendant]

Yea for a budget that or the ratnik.

May rico a bullet and save your life.

[prisma bridge]

and what armor?

[ember pendant]

For labs? Depends on your money levels really.

[prisma bridge]

high

[ember pendant]

Probably a hex or slick.

[prisma bridge]

t5 rigs would do too?

[ember pendant]

I personally rock the 6B3TM 90% of my runs in labs

The gun / ammo ends up being like 80% of the cost of my kit.

and I just try to out play then instead of getting shot.

[primal breach]

if zb1013 exfil is green

can i go there

[prisma bridge]

but t6 armor would still help no?

[ember pendant]

That means the power is on, Doge. You still need a key to open the door.

Yea, fish. Better your gear, better you chances.

[primal breach]

you need a key to go zb1013

? what key

[ember pendant]

Factory exit key

[prisma bridge]

ok what about interchange or reserve

[primal breach]

i have a factory key

does that work

[prisma bridge]

what helmet and armor would u take for that

[ember pendant]

purple key 50 uses? Yea that should work.

[primal breach]

yep

k

where do i use it

at the extract itself?

[ember pendant]

For IC I wear a ulach / killa most games.

[prisma bridge]

ok

exfill good only if i havem oney right?

[ember pendant]

Reserve I wear an armored rig out of habit because of the old cliff desent extract.

I don't like faceshields on IC. Makes it harder to see for me.

[ember pendant]

Its under stronghold in the basement. There is a metal grate door that you'll need to unlock at the bottom of the stairs.

Stronghold is the open building with the 3 mounted guns.

[prisma bridge]

ok so for facrtory i dress up like a tank

for labs only to survive raiders

and for everything else more mobility and t5 armors

[ember pendant]

I mean its personally preference. I know people that rock slicks and altyns on IC with thermal M1As.

I personally wouldnt ever take a thermal to IC because of all the glass.

[prisma bridge]

eh i will see how it goes

[rapid spoke]

ugh, i dread going to reserve, but i have 3 tasks there at this point...

[prisma bridge]

reserve is very fun for pvp

the only problem is that terrible lag

sometimes

if they fix that map

easily my favorite

[tranquil shore]

The only problem i have on Reserve is cheaters

[royal edge]

Why does toxin kill so quickly

[ember pendant]

Badass posion.

We live in tarkov where they have stims that make you a super human. I'm sure they can make a pretty nasty toxin too.

[rapid spoke]

dartgun with poison needles when

[royal edge]

One more scave run and I should have the rubles to get rid of it.

[primal breach]

hunter vepr or sks

[bold kernel]

Depends on what you'd be doing.

For general use sks.

If I expect to meet a geared player I'll take a Hunter.

[ember pendant]

Hunter is my favorite budget weapon personally. I love that damn gun.

Hell I love anything that shoots .308.

[primal breach]

should i sell the ulach or keep it

found it in cache

[austere crane]

Keep it, they are great value

And they don't sell for that much on the flea

[ember pendant]

Personal choice, but Ulach is my go to helm. Repairs great and really solid protection.

[steady trellis]

what durability cap does ragman have before he doesnt take it?

[ember pendant]

iirc 60%

It's been a hot minute though

[midnight spade]

any budget guns with manageable recoil?

[quick spear]

What key do I bring for the red key room?

in labs

like what unlocks the little cage inside it

[indigo sable]

so tired of getting snipe raped in the side of my helmet before i can even see whats going on

ammo mechanics in this game are fucking bullshit

and annoying for new players that cant fight back

[iron prism]

think it's called "TerraGroup Labs Arsenal storage room key

[quick spear]

Thanks friend!

[iron prism]

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

[ember pendant]

Isaac, what about the ammo mechanics is bullshit? Getting 1 tapped in the head?

[unique steeple]

U surviving a bullet to the head irl?

[short mantle]

i have quest for salewas so i need to escape with it although i had it in pouch and i died?

[ember pendant]

They need to be found in raid.

You only keep the FIR status if you survive and don't get a run through.

[short mantle]

thats what i needed thanks

[bold kernel]

wtf is this

[dark arrow]

ofz shell

you can use it to craft gunpowder

and ammo

[bold kernel]

ah alright

[dark arrow]

it is needed for a quest

from prapor

[bold kernel]

how far down

[potent crater]

Save it for the quest

Kind of far down but a nightmare without certain keys or scav rep or stuff

[ember pendant]

But that quest isn't needed for kappa. Very unimportant task.

[bold kernel]

should i sell any of this then

[ember pendant]

But they can be a pain the dick to get if you are planning on completing all the tasks this wipe.

[dark arrow]

save all of that for flea market/hideout upgrades

[potent crater]

Is a level 9 going for kappa?

[ember pendant]

Not required for kappa so a mute point.

But probably not if it's your first wipe.

[bold kernel]

yeah its my first wipe

question is RIP ammo good?

[ember pendant]

It's a flesh round. Hardly any pen.

[potent crater]

Uhhh no pen high flesh but for what caliber

Basically only good for leg meta

[ember pendant]

If you get them in the leg it's good.

[bold kernel]

9x19mm

[potent crater]

Yah you just shoot keys with that but the shotgun rip is ass

[ember pendant]

It's better than pst if you are aiming at the legs.

[potent crater]

Yah

[bold kernel]

alrighttt

tyvm

[potent crater]

Np

For the prapor task tho you also need to hand over a tank battery so idiot if you will ever do the task

I don’t know

Not idiot

[solid agate]

For the therapist quest how a. I suppose to not kill sanitar

I just have to give her keycard?

I'm gonna kill him but just curious how it works

[primal breach]

is this considered good loot from a scav run

[jovial kelp]

Need some people to do farming part one anyone down to help?

[primal breach]

bruh

[ember pendant]

Ya, you need to do some tasks and level up / get rep.

It'll come pretty quick if you focus on tasks.

[primal breach]

im trying to do the tasks

i found 2 salewa kits in one raid

but i got killed near extract

[potent crater]

Loot med spawns for a bit until you get them like white bishop

[quaint onyx]

or maybe crackhouse in customs

[potent crater]

I see more cams than sales

Salewa

Cms

[indigo sable]

literally fuck factory

[unique steeple]

u jus dont kill him and hand in all the items

[indigo sable]

any person who tells a new player to run factory is an actual piece of shit

like are you trying to get new players killed

fucking donuts trying to get free pmc kills SMH

[unique steeple]

lmfao chill

[crystal haven]

hey, i got a bronze lion and a teapot in a scav run, should i keep it or sell for hard cash?

[indigo sable]

suck my dick fabio

[indigo sable]

keep lion fuck teapot

[unique steeple]

theyre both a quest item later on

[crystal haven]

cheers

[unique steeple]

😂

[solid agate]

u playing right now?

[unique steeple]

nahh not rn

[solid agate]

u should run facotry as a new player

so that u can die

so u can give free PMC kills

[dark arrow]

i dont know why you would actually follow someone's advice to go to factory

as a new player

[solid agate]

but u should

[unique steeple]

indeed

[indigo sable]

-.-

[hidden mortar]

Factory as a new player lmao. Try to learn either customs or woods first

[indigo sable]

nah not abt learning

just annoying not having access to ammo

[potent crater]

Why would anyone ever run an rys

[indigo sable]

while chads farm fac

[unique steeple]

much better

[hidden mortar]

Then you want either Reserve or Customs for ammo

[indigo sable]

us new players dont stand a chance

[hidden mortar]

You do, if you know where to look

Or play it right

[potent crater]

Corner camp with an mp153 and hav eBay ammo that isn’t a slug and shoot people legs

You just have to go click click click

[indigo sable]

ive learned customs fac and interchange well. tbh i went to fac to kill scavs.
next time im just gonna go customs so i dont get raped in 6 seconds by a kitted chat

[obsidian sphinx]

i cant lie, insurance and quest rewards expiring are pains in the ass as a standard user

[indigo sable]

pretty much my strat rn

[quaint onyx]

what is ebay ammo?

[potent crater]

Sell stuff and get stash upgrade

[obsidian sphinx]

i cant be on EVERYDAY to claim and play etc

[potent crater]

But cases you hav rifles

[obsidian sphinx]

im slowly making my way

[potent crater]

Ok

[hidden mortar]

Or aim for face, most visors will still be penned by M855

[indigo sable]

what r the benifits of upgrading

[potent crater]

He is talking about the extra stash space

[unique steeple]

dont finish the quest if u dont have space, or just sell it

[dark arrow]

bigger stash space and bigger container

[unique steeple]

insurance lasts for a few days

[dark arrow]

oh

[potent crater]

“I can’t be on every 3 days to claim insurance”

[unique steeple]

dont insure then👍

[potent crater]

🧠

[unique steeple]

@potent crater also the rys is like an altyn but much less debuffs

[potent crater]

I know but like it’s so much money

It can’t be that much better

[unique steeple]

oh yeah

[potent crater]

Just run altyn

[unique steeple]

its not worth buying

i barter it

[potent crater]

Ok I was about to ask is there any other way to get it

How do you barter it?

[unique steeple]

ragman ll4

[potent crater]

Like what is the barter

[unique steeple]

its like

5 plexi 5 aramid and 1 cordura

[potent crater]

9 gpus

How much is they

That

[unique steeple]

lol

[potent crater]

I mean the rys barter

[unique steeple]

like 100k or more

[potent crater]

Ok

I would normally just check but I’m not at my pc

[bold kernel]

what are some good tips for a really new starter like me? (other than "do alot of offline raids." ive been doing those! they are fun!)

[unique steeple]

np

[unique steeple]

how new r u

[obsidian sphinx]

stash size bigger

[bold kernel]

i started last night

[unique steeple]

oh okay

u should watch a beginner guide if u havent

do tasks and play customs

[potent crater]

Don’t freak out when you die those people are annoying

[bold kernel]

i started it then something came up and forgot about it so i think ill do that riiiighhtt... now!

[bold kernel]

oh no ive already gotten used to dying in the 1st 30 secs

[unique steeple]

ye youll die alot in the beginning

[potent crater]

But everything says play smart and tactically but don’t always sneak around sometimes running up on someone will be better than a straight who has better aim / dps

Also use a no food after midnight ammo chart

[bold kernel]

i forgot to record it (typical fake-story template amirite?) but i had a 16sec gameplay thats sums up a tarkov experience. spawn in, move around corner, get head blown off by shotgun.

[potent crater]

Yah but like you run better gear and then get more annoyed you lost your good gear and stuff

[potent crater]

Yah

Run customs

Best map IMO

Just avoid dorms

[unique steeple]

yep classic tarkov moment

[bold kernel]

yeah, ive watched some people play before getting the game and they got overly-mad over losing some god-tier gear (from what they said)

[potent crater]

Was it factory?

[potent crater]

If it is a good player I don’t see why they woudmm on be mad unless it was an unlucky shot or something

[bold kernel]

yes. dude was just waiting there. he probs heard me shuffle when i searched a nearby box

[potent crater]

I died to a hacker in reserve after getting a money case in rb bk

[potent crater]

Factory is pvp not looting

[bold kernel]

i can understand losing to a way better player but ill get pissed if some dude is spray-and-praying with some short-ranged smg

[bold kernel]

yeah, i found that out quick

[stable atlas]

Anyone wanna play some raids?

[indigo sable]

they need a pistol only factory for fun

[primal breach]

can anyone help me do this mission

i get killed everytime i find selewa kits

i can't talk tho

[bold kernel]

i would but im not that experienced and im NA-East.

[primal breach]

:/

[bold kernel]

sorry

[primal breach]

it's ok

[hidden mortar]

Pretty sure you can craft the Salewas from med station 1, right? Been a while

[primal breach]

it says find them in raid

[hidden mortar]

Anything created in the hideout has found in raid status

[primal breach]

it's easier to find them in raid

[hidden mortar]

So you say, but don't you keep dying?

[primal breach]

objectively easier

[hidden mortar]

That's better 😛

[primal breach]

i usually dont die

[hidden mortar]

And yes, it can be. Based on your luck/spawns/surviving. But crafting is a guarantee of it

[primal breach]

and i can extract but for the selewa kits i have to go to placed with a lot of people

crack den, stronghold, warehouse 4

dorms have some medical stuff

if i go late game then they'll be looted

[hidden mortar]

Scaffolding also has med spawns

Come Shoreline with me, we'll likely find some

[primal breach]

i won't talk tho

[hidden mortar]

Oush, comms is important in group play

[iron prism]

Are marked room keys worth buying rn?

I'm lvl 17 with decent gear

[primal breach]

i can't now, i can later

[dark arrow]

i think there not that expensive

[iron prism]

200k for the customs one I think

[dark arrow]

it was 700k last wipe so i would say thats a lot better

and the reserve marked rooms keys are always pretty cheap

[iron prism]

yeah i have one for reserve rbbk

haven't had any luck with loot though

[dark arrow]

i primarily used rb-vo marked room since there are spawns right next to it

i own the other marked rooms keys but unless i am feeling i need to top up on loot i wont go

[iron prism]

would you say it's generally profitable

[dark arrow]

its a give and take tbh

i havent seen anything different with this loot increase

[iron prism]

yeah and I don't play much reserve either but when I do there's not much

better off killing raiders I guess

Might try customs key though

[pure mist]

Marked rooms are not great right now

because of dynamic loot

check the price of money case and freezer, that's how bad it is

freezer used to be 350k

now it's 1 mil +

money case was 450k

now 1.4 mil +

We don't know if marked will ever be back

so I wouldn't recommend marked keys right now

or any key really

[dark arrow]

i dont mind have loot spawns being switched around to incentivize people moving around the map and not just going to one area

but why do locked rooms have to be affected

especially marked rooms

[pure mist]

now locked rooms are worse than loose loot spawn

illogical

even labs

went into red room

like 50k worth of shit in there

outside

a ledx

gpu

etc

that's just doesn't really make sense

[obsidian sphinx]

GUYS

what do you think

about

this:

being able to select aggressive and non-aggressive scav lines, it's so goddamn annoying sounding aggressive towards pmcs

[iron prism]

high value loot should be somewhat centralised to incentivise pop and the risk/reward mechanism

[iron prism]

this would be good, especially if you're trying for pmc/scav coop extracts

let's hope VoIP helps

[obsidian sphinx]

seriously i just tried going up to someone as a scav

dude was really nooby 💀

[iron prism]

tbh don't expect any pmc to be friendly, more so if you're a scav

scav on scav killing still happens a lot even with fence

[raw lodge]

is there any chance somebody could help me with my quests :))

[bold kernel]

did they change the flea level?

[raw lodge]

yes to 15

[bold kernel]

thx

[short mantle]

by hand over smthg they mean sell?

[wispy marten]

no, go to the trader, click tasks and then it'll have an option to turn in

if you dont have the item it wont show though

[primal breach]

does low durability affect a weapon in any way

[dark arrow]

yes

its accuracy

your shots become less accurate as the weapon durability lowers

dont use scav guns

[primal breach]

should i use op sks at 50 durability or sks at 100 durability

[dark arrow]

100

[primal breach]

k

[dark arrow]

i would say not to use any weapon below 80 durability

experiences may differ but i dont have many misfires

at 80 durability guns

but always try to use 100 durability

[primal breach]

mk

is accuracy like how far from the crosshair/sight the bullet goes?

[dark arrow]

that and if the bullet hit on point where you are aiming

[primal breach]

mhm

[dark arrow]

sometimes the bullet will go to the side of where you aimed at low durability

[primal breach]

mk

[short mantle]

thanks

[hallow island]

how to have fun

[visual scarab]

looting experience in postgame report based on what? items you took out of raid or when you search bodies or something?

[dark arrow]

what you looted in raid

yes

searching bodies

also counts

[visual scarab]

so if i havent looted anything but searched bodies and chests and stuff will get looting exp anyway right

[dark arrow]

yes

[near moss]

found this in offline

im mad

[bold kernel]

fastest way to do this quest please?

[primal breach]

i got 1 selewa kit why cant i hand it over

do i need to give it while in raid

[earnest hare]

if i insure something will i get any attachments back?

[primal breach]

yes

[earnest hare]

cool

[quaint onyx]

is it FIR and i think it has to be in your stash

[primal breach]

it is in my stash

the selewa kit

do i need all 3 at once?

also what's fir

[dark arrow]

on an item

there is a checkmark

[quaint onyx]

found in raid

[dark arrow]

on the bottom right of it

that means its fir

found in raid

[primal breach]

it's fir

ho do i give it

it's in stash

[dark arrow]

you need to go to the quest

and it says hand in

[quaint onyx]

go to the trader

[primal breach]

nope

it doesnt

[dark arrow]

the trader

[bold kernel]

U ARE IN BAD SECTION

GO TO trader

[quaint onyx]

you have to go to the trader

[dark arrow]

not the quest menu

[bold kernel]

and click

[dark arrow]

the trader

[bold kernel]

the hand over

[primal breach]

oo

found it

thx

should i sell this or use it in a raid

[bold kernel]

up to you

[primal breach]

would you

[bold kernel]

its not any special armor

[primal breach]

it's class 4 tho

[bold kernel]

and?

people will penetrade if they have good ammo

even if they dont

[dark arrow]

its ceramic

[primal breach]

what does that mean

[river rampart]

ceramic is a type of armor plate that is very effective but breaks very easily

It loses durability faster

titan/titanium is way better but more expensive

So is combined materials, that's sometimes better

[primal breach]

is there kevlar

[river rampart]

Aramid, basically the same

Paca is aramid

[vivid ember]

Good armour/helmet barters/buys from traders? I have lvl 3 all.

[dark arrow]

im pretty sure 1 round of snb will pen that and 1 tap you

or 2 tap

cant remember

[foggy egret]

armor is armor
