[unique steeple]

Or sanitar

[solid agate]

oh so just luck

cuz i only need that one left

bruh i paid my scavs 85k to bring me back 1 pstiol bullet and 1 pistol barel

[unique steeple]

Worth

[pallid bolt]

tarkov boutta become an idle game with these scav cases

[tough oyster]

well i died

shot 17 rounds from my pistol into a scav, dont know how many hit

[vague gull]

good labs raid? look at the secure

[tough oyster]

and then bled out

[solid agate]

meh

i get taht stuff from scavving reserver

[tough oyster]

stm9 or mp5?

i ran out of pistols to use

[solid agate]

i like the mp5 SD

basically no recoil for 50k

and supressed

[tough oyster]

i cant use flea market yet

only lvl2

[solid agate]

but 9*19 is a bit weak even if its ap 6.3

uh

ngl im not sure

just try stuff out

[vague gull]

🤣

[narrow gull]

stm9 is semi auto only so there's that

i'd say get an sks, it's plenty enough to doink scavs in the head

and avoid pmc

[shadow shoal]

Any clue where to find thermite? Tryna cop an ammo case

[tough oyster]

also what utility items should i carry ?

[narrow gull]

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

also 2 more levels and buy it

[tough oyster]

i bled out and couldnt stop the bleeding

[narrow gull]

painkiller, medkit, spare ammo(or not) and key(or not) in secure

for bleeds there are 2 kinds - heavy and light

heavy you can cure with esmarch, light with bandages

[shadow shoal]

Thnks man, looks like im off to customs again. Amount of warehouse runs i've done but no thermite in sight yet lol

[narrow gull]

you could try IC too if customs doesn't give you it's grace

[remote wyvern]

labs

[narrow gull]

labs does spawn it often, but level 13, first wipe and all that

[tough oyster]

any attachments i should put on the sks?

[remote wyvern]

labs best map

[bold kernel]

everytime i open tarkov this appears

[narrow gull]

if you get sks from prapor there's nothing you can put on it save for bigger mag

[shadow shoal]

Really unfamiliar with IC atm, only really competent with woods & customs so far. Might spend a couple hours in offline and get used to it

[bold kernel]

i know im not trippin but what is that

[narrow gull]

but from jaeger you can put a cobra or a pso

[velvet blade]

fatal hits is just the same as my kill count, what's its purpose?

[cinder carbon]

hi guys i got a question

is m856a1 good?

[velvet blade]

55A1 is better

[cinder carbon]

i cant afford

55a1

rn

started game

a week ago

so im still learning ammo

[narrow gull]

it's not bad

[cinder carbon]

good budget round?

[narrow gull]

not good not bad, somewhere in the middle

[cinder carbon]

ah icic

[narrow gull]

if you're buying from the flea - it's not really that budget

from pk it's decent value

[cinder carbon]

i have some from killing scavs

[narrow gull]

it's bare minimum if you plan on doing pvp

but if you're only after scavs regular 855 works

[cinder carbon]

okok

[winged night]

any1 know what this is? i only get it from launching tarkov

[cinder carbon]

same

i keep getting this too

[tough oyster]

anyway i could get a put a sight on it?

[cinder carbon]

if its the dark brown looking sks

i dont think so

but the tan/yellow one

you can put a pso on it

i think

[dapper hound]

alright, I'm just starting up the game for the first time
are there any things that new players should do first or avoid doing?

[narrow gull]

like alvin said, dark wood sks you can't without replacing the body, op-sks - light wood - you can

but you get the quest to unlock jaeger at the very start so

[unique steeple]

so technically condor should stop 9x19 rip no?

[bold kernel]

Hey I need help

[narrow gull]

it's a high chance of stopping rip

[unique steeple]

on that chart it says no chance of pen

[subtle wing]

Well just got a head shot on a dude 160 meters on customs

[narrow gull]

*in a reasonable amount of hits

[subtle wing]

then dropped another dude but his duo got me as I thought he was further back

[narrow gull]

there's always a small chance

i'm assuming you got killed through condors with rip?

[unreal horizon]

Your name always makes me think of "I forgor"

Lol

[unique steeple]

me n my friend are trying it out

it stops legit nothing

nt even sp8

[narrow gull]

it's probably because of blunt damage

since condors don't have much total durability or armor class, the high flesh damage rounds probably just kill with blunt damage

[shy drift]

Im about to get access to the flea, what are the best ammos for the price I should be running

[bold kernel]

what's a good sniping map

[narrow gull]

woods, reserve, shoreline all maps you can snipe on fairly easily
customs doesn't have much open ground but very predictable player pathing

[inland marlin]

use bs and igolnik

[unique steeple]

so they absolutely useless

[inland marlin]

theyre for the small chance to ricochet something

[solid agate]

but that .01% richochet chance tho

[narrow gull]

they can ricochet somehow

more like 10%

or somewhere around that

[solid agate]

im pretty sure its lower

much lower

then 10 percent

for a bullet to richochet off a sunglass

[inland marlin]

yep. much lower. just doesnt seem like it

ricochet also has alot of hidden stats, supposedly, such as taking into effect angle

[narrow gull]

medium should be around 5% last i checked

[inland marlin]

whered you find that info

[narrow gull]

don't even remember anymore

[unreal horizon]

Ricochet chance isn't a percent

It's an area of the helmet that can chance a ricochet

Bullets have individual chances to bounce off said areas

[narrow gull]

well if it wasn't a percentage it wouldn't be a chance though?

[dapper hound]

how do I leave a game?

[unreal horizon]

High ricochet = big zone on helmet that can bounce

The actual bounce is rolled by the bullet though

[dapper hound]

I legit don't know how to leave, I've got some stuff from a raid

[narrow gull]

extract?

[dapper hound]

how do I do that?

[narrow gull]

find an extract zone

[dapper hound]

I'm on factory, I don't know where they are

[narrow gull]

double tap O to check your extracts

[dapper hound]

I don't know where any of those are

[narrow gull]

you're on a scav?

[inland marlin]

well, your screwed, shouldve maybe thought of this before

[narrow gull]

or pmc?

[inland marlin]

heres a map https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/factory

[dapper hound]

bruh this is the first time I've ever played

I'm a PMC I think

[narrow gull]

gate 3 it is

[inland marlin]

he obv doesnt know what that is

lol

[narrow gull]

find the office building with 3 floors

[dapper hound]

what happens if the time runs out?

[inland marlin]

you die

[dapper hound]

I have 4 minutes left

[narrow gull]

on the right side of it looking from the large boilers there will be a metal shack on the second floor

right next to it a big metal red gate

[dapper hound]

I have no idea where that is

[inland marlin]

ok then your dead

[dapper hound]

what a fantastic game lmao

[inland marlin]

pay attention to what hes saying and try instead of complaining and you might live lol

[dapper hound]

great use of my money

[narrow gull]

find the 3 high building and the 2 high shack on it's side

factory is small

[dapper hound]

Okay I think I'm there

[inland marlin]

LOL

[narrow gull]

find the big red metal gate there

right next to it

[dapper hound]

this it?

[inland marlin]

other side of that building

exactly where u are other side go thru it

[dapper hound]

here?

[narrow gull]

to your back

[inland marlin]

behind you lol

[narrow gull]

find the door, and another door behind it

there's the extract

[dapper hound]

oh weird, I tried that door but it wouldn't let me interact with it

it just had me kick it and nothing happened

[narrow gull]

there are several gates like this one

some need keys

this one doesn't

[dapper hound]

huh well that's useful to know

[inland marlin]

your better off playing the maps offline for your first time

[dapper hound]

yeah I figured that was the case, I toggled them to offline and set the AI to easy just so I could get a feel for the game

don't even know if this is good lmao

[rapid spoke]

very good

[dapper hound]

going from speakers to actual headphones was a good idea too lmao

I have ones that can soundstage pretty well and they were great for helping me locate people

what's the difference between a PMC or scav?

[solid agate]

if i kill a ai scav with a raider scav ai

will that lower my scav karma

[rapid spoke]

yes

[narrow gull]

pmc are players
scavs are not always players

[solid agate]

and also what are these bands of 5 scavs roaming around on reserve

is that raiders

[rapid spoke]

yes

or boss tourages

[solid agate]

how would i tell

they are shooting supressed shots at me

im at bunker hills rn next to heating pipe

[narrow gull]

in terms of gameplay pmc you bring your own gear and can use secure, you can also do tasks
on a scav you spawn later than pmc and get a random kit(usually shit) and random loot

scav doesn't count to your level or tasks

[dapper hound]

so basically I just run as a PMC all the time then?

or should I run maps as scav to get a feel for the map first?

[solid agate]

would boss gaurds have single word names

got killed by gepard

[rapid spoke]

scavin maps is great for farmin up some cash and learnin maps

raiders have single names

[narrow gull]

i mean if you can afford kits when you die - sure

[solid agate]

oh so i shouldve killed them

so in general if i see a bunch of scavs together like ai scavs is raiders

[narrow gull]

since all pmc spawn at the same time there's a lot of spawn pvp

so if you're not ready you're going to die to that a bit

[inland marlin]

you should scav as much as possible when your new so you dont lose anything

[inland marlin]

yes, but sometimes normal scavs can be near enough each other its like a group... but they wont patrol together. and raiders have better gear and different voicelines.

[dapper hound]

lol already got a kill and found an ADAR 2-15

[subtle wing]

haha I think I got killed by the same dude in the same raid... as a PMC and as a scav

[empty hemlock]

look im not rlly a beginner but how would i get over fear when i get shot at

[subtle wing]

but Im down to 2k roubles time to take a break

[empty hemlock]

bc some times i litterly shit myself enough to leave

the raid

[rapid spoke]

id advice to go factory until your used to it

[solid agate]

i advise to never go factory unless u need to

[rapid spoke]

factory is fast and full of pvp, so you will get shot a lot, and i guess that builds up resistance

[empty hemlock]

factory is shit for loot its just a mess in office

i more just run into ppl running slugs with rip rounds

[rapid spoke]

yeah, youre not going there for the loot, ur going there to get shot at, and try to shoot someone, with a pistol or something cheap

[empty hemlock]

so just go on factory bring like a kedr ?

[rapid spoke]

yeh, smg might be just as good

i feel ya, cuzif im not ready to get shot, the first shot i take each day makes me jump in my chair

[empty hemlock]

yeah haha

[ember night]

can anyone help me with quests. I am lvl 17

new to the game

[dapper hound]

is there a way to not play at night?

[solid agate]

just

[empty hemlock]

like in game at night?

[solid agate]

dont play at night

[dapper hound]

yeah in game at night

[green delta]

There are two options for times for each map

[empty hemlock]

bc when u go to select a map you can change the time

[solid agate]

single digits are morning/nnight time

[green delta]

Pick the one that is during the day

[solid agate]

its military time

[dapper hound]

ahh okay

[ebon lake]

Flechette vs 8.5 vs rip vs ap on saiga

[inland marlin]

ap

[near moss]

best fuking loot

[sterile merlin]

man the hackers are out in force tonight

[unique steeple]

if a bullet has 100% frag chance

does it always break a bone

[wary valley]

y0 whats the quest to unlock these

[inland marlin]

samples

[wary valley]

fuck

[inland marlin]

ya

[remote wyvern]

all the loot is on labs now

[rough scarab]

you need key cards though

atleast if you want to consistently find stims

[vapid beacon]

A lot of players killed themselves here a lot lately, even geared players, reason?

[solid agate]

Did u mean scavs and pmcs died here fighting

And they couldn't take all the loot

[vapid beacon]

PMCs

I saw 6 out of 15 raids. There's always someone died here

They weren't killed by another player or scav, because the dogtag just listed all of them as died, meaning that they just left the game.

[strong barn]

I bet they joined with someone outside of their region and couldnt load in because ping kept kicking them
they're teammates all left them behind and ran for graphics cards while they loaded in late/died before they were 'in'

they would get the 'died' status in that case 🤷

[inland marlin]

that or its bot accounts being levelled to be sold. so therye levelling their str to max and then dcing

[vapid beacon]

I saw a guy with a SR rifle there too with a Tri-Zip bag

Dude just left the game with full gear

[potent crater]

That is so lucky

[near moss]

dorms room isnt good anymore sadly

guns

no keys or cards

[potent crater]

Marked?

Sad

[velvet blade]

can anyone DM me a European server with minimal hackers in Shoreline? Also does it depend on time of day IRL?

[ebon lake]

Doing task or something ？

[velvet blade]

yeah scav kills

[slim zealot]

are flash drives inside pc's or on the outside as something to pickup?

[small lark]

Hey guys I am looking to do my first few labs runs, I'm lvl 21 pretty solid at pvp

[bold kernel]

does depot hermetic door

need power

[river rampart]

The siren/buzzer has to be sounding to use that extract.

[bold kernel]

thanks

[potent crater]

What do you need for setup task?

[whole thistle]

its a really common place to snipe

[whole thistle]

oh wtf

write a creepypasta now

before we find out why

[vapid beacon]

@whole thistle None of them listed as killed by other person or scav. I thought they're doing the Ragman tank marking quest, but I saw some geared players as well.

[pure mist]

Why

[velvet blade]

so what do you say?

[crimson geyser]

when does the train come on reserve and when does it leave?

[velvet blade]

Arrives earliest 25/ latest 35 min into the raid
Scav Raiders may spawn after arrival
Stays for 7 min
Honks twice on arrival
Honks once 1 min before departure
Honks twice on closing doors

[crimson geyser]

ok thank you very much

[lusty glacier]

lol someone is mad at me because I killed them when they DC and then his friends killed me when i DC and took his loot for him

"hope u think about killing DC next time"
removed from friends list

[flat arrow]

anyone down to do some runs?

I am only level 8 so down to play with other low levels as well!

[bold kernel]

at what scav rep does glukhar become friendly to you?

[tranquil shore]

Prepare to die, alot.

[small lark]

Im ready haha, just lookin for a duo

[keen arrow]

can someone help me make money lol i spend 99% of my time in this game at 1000 rubles

[flat arrow]

what level are you @keen arrow

[minor rain]

whats the best map to find iskra ration packs and rye croutons

[small lark]

@minor rain the boxes around interchange have guaranteed iskra pretty much

[minor rain]

ty

[hollow yew]

What should I do with the alpha container after I have the beta?

[tranquil shore]

My friends keep their wallets with roubles in there, or docs cases

[keen arrow]

26 i just rly suck at this game

[green delta]

Money is super easy to get if you learn a safe run. I’d suggest an interchange stash run. Or a woods stash run. Interchange I find to be the fastest. You can hit about 15 stashes on the outside of the mall. Very few people stay outside the mall so you rarely run into people. And if you fill a normal backpack up with garbage items you’ll still make 200k

[merry dust]

@vapid beacon

oi

are u austrailian

thingy

[vapid beacon]

No

[merry dust]

whats ur ping on australia

i got a guy whos in australia and ur in the sea

@vapid beacon

[dense oriole]

First day on the game, it was gifted to me by a friend and we played for a little but he had to go. If anyone is down to show me the ropes I'd love to learn. I'm 21+ if that matters to anyone

[flat arrow]

Anyone want to do an interchange run with me! Loot some stashes and get out?

[tacit cairn]

I just tried to run a night raid, the time said 0:15ish when i spawned in and it was light as day?? tf

[flat arrow]

@dense oriole Im only level 8 but if you want you could add me in game and when im on a lot next week I can check and see if you are up for anything

@dense oriole my name in game is Nefarox78

[crisp nest]

6

all bosses are 6

it was 1 at early wipe

[crisp nest]

u have to click

which time u want

[bold kernel]

uhhhh

what's so good about CATs

"ooga booga big bleed stop faster?"

[unreal horizon]

i don't think they're useful

[wary valley]

doesn't matter i got head jaws desynced

i had a helmet that i needed those

[void vault]

hello is anyone intrested in duo quing with me for a couple im leanring

[worthy stream]

Check how much HP it takes off of a salewa/ifak or something to stop a heavy bleed. That's why hemostats exist.

[bold kernel]

yeah but

why do people have CATs

as opposed to normal hemostats

[upbeat barn]

@void vault if you still wanna run we can just give me one sec

[whole thistle]

pre flea

if youre level 12 its better to take a cat than an esmarch

[hollow yew]

I dont have too much money so, how bad is using PST with 50mag vector?

Cant afford 600r per bullet lol

[fathom ocean]

I wouldn’t use an smg

[hollow yew]

then what would you use with 100K lol

[fathom ocean]

A 7.62 ak

Whatever you got access to idk what you can buy

And use 7.62 ps

[bold kernel]

anyone looking to run duos? NA est time

[long badger]

Idk,what i need to use i'm 11lvl

[void vault]

are you still avaliable

and also

how do i enable hold to ads

[upbeat barn]

i am yes

[fathom ocean]

Same thing I just told dude a 7.62 ak with ps, sks or even a vpo

[void vault]

okay wahts your user

[upbeat barn]

i pretty sure its in controls

[void vault]

ill check again

must of missed it

[long badger]

Ok

I just standard

[fathom ocean]

Doesn’t really matter tbh

[worthy stream]

If you have a map route that has good food spawns, you can trade 3 tushonka (the small ones) for the good kind of full auto 7.62 AK from Prapor LL1. Skier LL1 sells the same gun for 30k but no full auto. and Jaeger LL1 can get you an sks with sight+detachable mags for 65k + dirt cheap ammo. (Prapor LL1 has the same thing but no option for reflex sight for 40k instead)

[fathom ocean]

And the vpo136 I would use over the sks

Skier 1

[tranquil shore]

Nothing

I would use my scav

[hollow yew]

Sad

[tranquil shore]

Hmmm, might just be me - but i earn most of my roubles using my scav and then spend it on decent gear on pmc. I can’t kill shit with bad guns and ammo so why would i spend money on it??

[worthy stream]

If the gear you're buying isn't paying for itself in raid, just don't buy it lol

[tranquil shore]

My usual kit is 500-700k (all the stuff im buying - usually kill some pmcs and get shit from them aswell) and i easily make 1 mil a raid. Labs player tho, stuff have to be expensive for me to survive there.

[worthy stream]

Yeah those are good gambles, but I don't do labs and shit like that because it's high risk high reward. Maybe you should try bringing a 200k kit to reserve and see if it nets you anything. I can easily pull 400k-800k if I get a good path.

I have a full keytool tho

[tranquil shore]

I have a full sicc of reserve keys. Begun playing it after they nerfed labs

Idk why i still have them

But yeah, reserve is a money mine aswell

[worthy stream]

Yeah reserve is my main map, and has been since like my first or second wipe

[tranquil shore]

Most maps are, if you just get a good path

[worthy stream]

Yeah that's how it goes to be fair

[tranquil shore]

Was mine aswell. Stopped playing it after my buddies asked if i could learn them labs.

[worthy stream]

labs does have an insane amount of raiders

and its a pretty fun map

[slender prism]

im trying to get the pocket watch but the scavs keep killing me

[tranquil shore]

Raiders aren’t really the problem.

Rats, Chads, Desync and cheaters are

[worthy stream]

scavs are ez just keep trying. If you're only running into scavs and not players you are pathing correctly with good timing.

[tranquil shore]

All the new people hearing streamers saying Labs is How you make money is just camping everywhere. Can’t run around and have fun anymore.

Desync just sucks, cheaters aswell

[worthy stream]

Yeah until me and my friend got rekt by a cheater, we would go into labs with a bunch of cases, and I would camp somewhere with all of them where no one would ever go and he would run around the map and loot it bit by bit so that he could bring me all of the loot and weightlessly challenge the PMCs to fights xD We would make it out with so many roubles it was unreal.

[tranquil shore]

Yeah. I remember seeing people doing that - i’ve been solo for a long time before my buddies got the game. Currently this is their first wipe and they’re just learning the game

It’s insane how much money you can make from Labs rn.

[wary valley]

is this usable?

[gleaming wren]

hi

[scenic sentinel]

hi

can someone help me at a quest ?

i have to mark this

i cant find it

[unborn flicker]

Does glukhar or any of his guards use english lines?

[scenic sentinel]

idk

[bold kernel]

Pretty sure the second one is the bronze pocket watch truck

[tranquil shore]

yes

[wary valley]

do i scrap this?

[tranquil shore]

How much dura is it if you repair it?

[wary valley]

between 2.3 to 0.7 with prapor

decrease

[inland marlin]

use it down to 38-40

[inner arch]

Tips on where to find salewas? Been playing a while now trying to find them at locations I've seen online but no luck.

[kindred vault]

I honestly dont know any more since idk if dynamic loot affected spawns but my best bet right now is medbags/crates

[inner arch]

Thanks!

[dusky lotus]

whats PM (t)

[polar scroll]

@inner arch if you play customs, these are non-container spawns I know. 2nd floor crackhouse, both 1st floor loot rooms in fortress, in the van in depot warehouse (east warehouse from the open courtyard with 3 warehouses). ive found more salewas here than any medical containers. gl!

[polar scroll]

the PM pistol

[dusky lotus]

yeah

[inner arch]

Thank you!

[quaint onyx]

also on woods in the scav camp/med camp thats on the beach

[dusky lotus]

whats the difference

[polar scroll]

what do you mean difference. theres only 1 type of pm pistol. as long as its found in raid u can turn it in for the quest

hmm i stand corrected, there are two different pm pistols. but im not sure of the difference. just checked the wiki

the t version has a threaded barrel so u can put a sup on there i think.

[dusky lotus]

ah ok

[quaint onyx]

teh other is full auto i think

oh wait you are talking about the t one

[velvet blade]

can Reshala or his guards see me through bushes like Shturman?

[bold kernel]

how do you unlock the quests anesthesia and rigged game at the same time because the quests are the same

[severe cliff]

@bold kernel they are different

Locations are same but they are different tasks given by therapist and skier

[bold kernel]

it says on wiki

This quest and Colleagues - Part 1 requires you to go to the same locations. If you accept both these quests you can complete them at the same time.

wait im stupid

nvm im not

3 quests that require u to do the same things

[primal breach]

which items should i sell

[quaint onyx]

rooster

[primal breach]

isn't it used for bargain

how do i fix scav karma ._.

[quaint onyx]

do car extracts as pmc or just survive loads of scav runs

[primal breach]

so no more scav loot :(

[quaint onyx]

or do the mutual pmc/scav extracts this might be difficult thou

or as a scav kill loads of pmcs

[blazing pasture]

how do i report someone in this server

bc this guy called squied's triangle keeps making fun of my dead sister and keeps calling me the N-word

squid's triangle*

[quaint onyx]

go straight to discord mods get him banned from discord

[blazing pasture]

thx

how do i do that?

he's in customs call #30 btw

[quaint onyx]

i dunno but this is 2021 you should be able to cancel people on every platform

you could also block them

[blazing pasture]

ok

idk how to contact admins

and i dont have a clip of him saying it

[dusky lotus]

WTF

[quaint onyx]

but the n-word is usually taken seriously

[dusky lotus]

ai scavs show you loot??

[quaint onyx]

what do you mean?

[dusky lotus]

i followed him because i was bored

he opened a door and there was like 16 cabinets

and he just left

[quaint onyx]

they open doors

[dusky lotus]

he closed the door when leaving too

[quaint onyx]

maybe it was a p scav

[dusky lotus]

no

the guy acted like a bot

and an nvg kid shot me

or a thermal

idk

[plush junco]

im so bad at pvp man

im trying to run factory to get the stupid pmc tower kills and i cant kill anything with any loadout

this shit is driving me insane

[quaint onyx]

waht gun are you using?

[bold kernel]

ayo, is trading on this server allowed?

[quaint onyx]

no

[plush junco]

my main loadouts i've been running kitted AKs, usually on anything other than fac

these cheap fac loadouts im running anything from kitted mp5s to pp91s with minimal armor and helmet combos

[quaint onyx]

try smg or a shotgun is my recommendation

[versed valley]

Ammo and hearing is most important

[plush junco]

anytime i run a shotgun, i get killed by an M4

anytime i run an AR, i get shotgunned

i cant win

[quaint onyx]

yea if anything bring a headset

[plush junco]

i do

i just cant win in pvp

[versed valley]

What ammo do you use?

[plush junco]

AK i use PP I believe but I rarely run into other people on other maps. reserve if that, but i always get killed in their first 2 or 3 shots

[versed valley]

Best weapon on factory in my opinion is saiga with Fleechete

[plush junco]

whichever is better between PP and PS is what i use

i've been kitting out 10 round saigas with flechette too

[versed valley]

You should use at least Bt, its pretty cheap and more effective

[plush junco]

the prices on BP arent bad at all now that i look at it

BT is a bit more but not too bad

my concern is i always get head-eyes in their first few shots before i even get a chance

even with helmets that have class 3 or 4 visors

its always somebody with high armor pen ammo when i challenge

[quaint onyx]

also try different servers if you can

[plush junco]

im on US west, why would i change servers? what would that benefit?

[dusky lotus]

different servers mean different prices?

idk how that makes sense

[quaint onyx]

you get matched with differrent players

[plush junco]

does that make things easier or harder? i feel like everybody i contest on US west is a chad and i have no chance against them

[quaint onyx]

usually i have my servers set to a few of teh ones i like and when i go to factory i get fucked in the ass

but the i change it to auto selection and it seems to give me timmies alot

idk whats up with that but it works most of the time

however i am in europe and theres loads of servers here

[dusky lotus]

its like that in every server

[primal breach]

i just got killed by a pmc thinking it's a scav

[dusky lotus]

unless its the 3lvl timmies that go with their full kit and 2 m4s

[primal breach]

it was an easy kill

he was on the ground looting

[sweet vigil]

Do y’all get more FPS with v sync off or on? I tried on and seems like I got much better FPS? Does this sound right to anyone else?

[primal breach]

it's smoother

but not better fps

also it increases input lag

[sweet vigil]

So should I play with it off or does the smoother game play make much difference?

[primal breach]

off

input lag matters

[dusky lotus]

off

[severe cliff]

@bold kernel glad u got the answer

[dusky lotus]

is thi sagood

[worthy stream]

best 9x19 in the game

[quaint onyx]

best 9x19 ammo you can sell it in flea for big money

[dusky lotus]

i will use then

because no fle

[frosty hill]

Any best map for training sniper skill?

[quaint onyx]

anything with a bush

where you can reload your mosin

[dusky lotus]

is this day pack blue or am i just trippin

oh its the sky

[steady totem]

Whatever you enjoy, I usually run reserve for sniper leveling since I can leg a lot of the scavs patrolling white-black horse

[frosty hill]

You suggest shitty ammo so I can hit them more?

[severe cliff]

Woods for me for sniping

[tranquil shore]

I would run factory

Mosin

One shot in each leg and headshot

[tough oyster]

How do I reload the sks mid game

[tranquil shore]

Put the ammo in your pockets

And press R

[tough oyster]

Lol I died

Without ammo

Pretty sure an pmc killed me this time

If I'm going in as a noob should I even bother with body armor

[bold kernel]

So long as you're looking to avoid fights.

Don't expect to survive an encounter with a scav or a player unless you've got the drop on them.

A PACA would help you survive scavs, but not so much against PMCs with better ammo.

[tough oyster]

Also I either seem to be missing a lot of shots, or scav health is very high

While I kinda suck at mouse and keyboard, I can hit my shots in battlefield, but not tsrkov

[vapid beacon]

I find that running an SVD increase the chance of me killing a PMC that running a full-auto rifle 😂

[bold kernel]

Well, I suppose you can use mid-range semi auto weapon to practice precision shots.

Either that or something like an SVD or Vepr Hunter.

Might be too expensive for new player tastes.

[vapid beacon]

Any good SVD build for less than 150k?

[potent crater]

Uhh idk about svds but the problem is getting a cheap full durability svd

[steady totem]

Get SNB, it's cheap and effective against everything/everyone

[vapid beacon]

I can run with >50 durability SVD since I only use it in Shoreline and Woods

[potent crater]

Not a goos habit to get into

You could have a perfect shot lined up and get a gun malfunction

[tranquil shore]

SNB isn’t the best anymore… i would run Ps because of the one tap thorax

[vapid beacon]

I never encounter a malfunction, since I haven't survived long enough 😂

[quaint onyx]

also the accuracy goes to shit with low durability

[bold kernel]

Is higher Durabily good or bad

Durability burn

[quaint onyx]

higher is worse is how i understand it

[bold kernel]

okay thanks.

[bleak crystal]

is there any headset that you can use with the Tagillas helmet?

[bold kernel]

The higher Bullet velocity the better right?

[quaint onyx]

yes

[tough oyster]

Idk why but I can't hit anyone

[bold kernel]

just practice more tbh

get used to the aim down

[bold kernel]

or maybe your just lagging lol

unregistered shots

[tough oyster]

30 shots, 20 hits on 1 scav?

And probably 4 missed shots on a 2nd scav

[bold kernel]

wtf

ohhhh

your bullet is shit and mostlikely you hit most on body and the armor absorbed it all

I learned that earlier lol, bullet matters more than the gun

[primal breach]

good run

customs

good for a sks run lol

[tough oyster]

How did u survive with an sks

[bold kernel]

That's a question I ask myself too.

[tough oyster]

I hit 20 shots on 1 scav lol

[bold kernel]

Although, I find myself making better decisions staying at a distance and moving around cover when I'm spotted.

People lose you easily in this game.

not pro tryhards

[primal breach]

around 3 shots to kill a scav

[bold kernel]

they spot you, your dead lol

[primal breach]

i try aiming for the head

[bold kernel]

^

oh yeah

@tough oyster you can also try just hitting their legs cuz most ppl dont have armor there

arms and stuff

get the legs and you win because they either have to heal there or walk away and heal which you can easily kill

[primal breach]

should i sell everything

[bold kernel]

I say

keep it for now and use it

or play skavs more

scav*

[primal breach]

i have 1,9mil

[bold kernel]

What level are you right now?

[tough oyster]

Isn't it kinda hard to aim for the limbs? I can barely see what I'm shooting at

[primal breach]

9, close to 10

[minor rain]

they need to fix scav karma instead of just losing karma for killing a friendly player scav u should u lose 0.01 for everytime u shoot one too and also loose karma for killing them im so tired of losing my scav run to a pos scav player

like including shotguns too every pellet hit

[tough oyster]

Should I just go with an ak with an red dot? Maybe it'll be easier to shoot scavs?

[bold kernel]

You can honestly keep the stuff for now. You're not too far off from flea.

[tough oyster]

Or perhaps go for a sniper

[bold kernel]

Still depends on the armor

and the bullet

if the enemy's armor is bad, easily penetrate with sniper

but if its like lvl 4-6 armor, it depends on your bullet

[kindred vault]

@primal breach

[primal breach]

yes

[kindred vault]

What ammo are in the adar/stanog mags

Sometimes youre lucky on m855a1

[tough oyster]

Idk what kind of armour scavs have but irl I think 762 penetrates most armor

[bold kernel]

Usually they have up to tier 3.

[primal breach]

5.56x45mm M855

[kindred vault]

Ah ok nvm

[bold kernel]

Unless you're fighting a raid in which they can have up to tier 5.

[bold kernel]

yeah but you can see it. it really depends

Not sure about 6.

[minor rain]

Didnt scavs just get a buff for this weekend event?

[bold kernel]

but dont forget there's people who has 6

its not a scav game lol

so be careful

[kindred vault]

You can vender about everything there, if the scav had m855a1 on him that would be a nice one to keep for fleamarket

[primal breach]

what maps should i run as scav

i know interchange, reserve, customs

[bold kernel]

custom

I say Custom is the easiest map

for starting

I prefer reserve and interchange.

for beginner?

Of course, Customs is normally a one way trip.

[brisk isle]

wait as a scav player, if raiders randomly rush you and try to kill you. are you not supposed to kill them??? lmao they randomly attacked me and my friend for 0 reason and we both lost points. do we have to wait for them to "hit" us??

[kindred vault]

Spawn, die?

That's a quick exfil

[bold kernel]

Reserve has the fastest extracts.

[primal breach]

imma do reserve and try killing pmcs

[bold kernel]

Its a free for all map, they will kill you no matter what

unless if you havent killed anyone

Interchange is just large with a lot of leftover loot to go by.

scavs wont kill you

but players will

The extracts are fairly simple as well.

[kindred vault]

Raiders arent scavs, they will pewpew you and you should pewpew them

[primal breach]

if you play as a scav

[brisk isle]

im saying if we kill them but they missed our shots thats "our bad" then lol.

[primal breach]

you get point sfor killing raiders

[bold kernel]

Can even go during the night if you're afraid of confrontation.

[pale finch]

what is better ps gs or T gs?

[bold kernel]

lol

[brisk isle]

i lost 0.05 points for killing a raider even though they shot at me lol.

[primal breach]

weird

they dont even need to shoot you

to get points

[brisk isle]

you didnt answer my question so i changed it lol.

[bold kernel]

yeah I got confused for a second there lol

[brisk isle]

so were ok to kill raiders as scavs? or have to wait for them to hit us because LMAO its kinda dumb we both lost points. dorms raiders cornered us and we just had to kill.

[bold kernel]

okay so

if your playing with main character

everyone will kill you no matter what

[brisk isle]

no scav.

[bold kernel]

but if your scav

if you havent killed anyone

scav wont kill u

[brisk isle]

ok.

[primal breach]

how do i find raiders on reserve

[bold kernel]

but player scavs will

[brisk isle]

i know that.

im not asking that.

lol.

[bold kernel]

oh I never raided before

so uhhhh

yeah

xD

[brisk isle]

"so were ok to kill raiders as scavs? or have to wait for them to hit us "

[bold kernel]

yes ur ok to kill raiders

as scav

without them hitting u first

[brisk isle]

so did i lose points due to a bug maybe?

[unique steeple]

somehow i got a 400m kill ion even know where

[bold kernel]

idk about that

I think you lose points on killing a scav boss right?

Or is that level 6.00 rep only.

[unique steeple]

u always lose rep killing boss

[bold kernel]

Ok

[primal breach]

wait what

[brisk isle]

so maybe theyre coded as scav boss now?

[primal breach]

i dont have sewer manhole as a extract

[unique steeple]

u killed a bodyguard?

[primal breach]

but i can use it to extract

i got a timer when im near it

[brisk isle]

yeah

[unique steeple]

u always lose rep killing bodyguard

[brisk isle]

ahh so only the regular raiders in reserve are the only ones taht dont count?

[unique steeple]

raiders only spawn in labs and reserve

theyre like scavs but buffed

[brisk isle]

yeah ok ok. i didnt know good to know

[unique steeple]

but not scavs at the same time

and they always have a single simple name

[brisk isle]

kinda dumb then lol so if a bodyguard runs at me just accept my fate or hope he hits me first

[unique steeple]

whats ur rep?

[brisk isle]

1.05 now i think

it was the first time they ever did that lol

[unique steeple]

ye if u go close to the boss the bodyguards will kill u

and if u dont look at them

ur good

[brisk isle]

nah this one came running from upstairs to kill us downstairs at dorms was the funniest shit LMFAO

[unique steeple]

lol

[primal breach]

fuck this karma shit bro, i need to see if someone shoots me before i shoot them

and i could be dead by the time i react

so fucking annoying

[light notch]

tips to reduce recoil without spending an arm and leg?

[quaint onyx]

can you buy the jmac muzzle?

i suspect not if level19

[light notch]

Not without spending an arm and a leg, was told srvv was the next best

[bold kernel]

It's like the self-defense laws in US.

Can't do anything until they kill you.

Scav Karma is flawed but it works.

[quaint onyx]

you can do the pp-19 trade with mechanic and get the pt3 stock and put that in there

[light notch]

My mechanic is lvl 1

[bold kernel]

To an extent, of course. Scav Karma could be improved a bit. Honestly, I don't think it matters all too much unless you really want the bonuses from it.

[light notch]

Also its 5.45 so I don't think jmac would fit anyways

[quaint onyx]

it should be level 1 trade

[unique steeple]

it would be cheaper just to buy it

[light notch]

Its 28k

[quaint onyx]

he could sell the rest of the parts and it would be pretty cheap

the trade is kinda nice atm if you can score the watch for 50-60k

the gun itself sells for 70k for mechanic

[unique steeple]

ur ak doesnt even have much recoil

[unique steeple]

true

[quaint onyx]

and you get good parts from it

[quaint onyx]

my feelings too

[unique steeple]

ye

he'll be fine

[light notch]

ik but wanna see if i can make it better

[unique steeple]

not if u on a budget

[light notch]

Not rlly on a budget but don't want to splurge too much

Want it to be decent mid level

[unique steeple]

what bullets u gonna be using

[light notch]

BT

[unique steeple]

then i wouldnt kit it out more than that

[light notch]

I do interchange runs and take tushonkas so I get the bt for free

[light notch]

Ah so dont pay extra 18k for pt3?

[quaint onyx]

with pt3

[light notch]

Gives +%1 recoil and +4 ergo

[quaint onyx]

and jmac

[light notch]

So idk if its worth

[unique steeple]

youll be fine

[light notch]

[dire lotus]

Any new players need some help with anything? NA here feel free to DM I enjoy helping others

[primal breach]

got killed by a hatchling cuz i ran out of ammo...

[serene reef]

oh nooo

happy hatchling

[visual compass]

Help! Im trying to kill raiders in the bunker for my quest, rushed down there 20 raids now and only seen them twice, is this normal? Or do they spawn later?

[dire lotus]

@visual compass turn on power down there

They should spawn after you flip the switch

[visual compass]

I always do... to be able to extract

Bleh, guess ill keep on trying

Spent this whole day on one single quest lol

[dire lotus]

Switch it up, do something else

[visual compass]

1point away from prapor level 3, i cant lol

[dire lotus]

You dont have any other prapor quests?

[visual compass]

Sure, find a sten battery and a punisher one, but im only missing 1 single raider in the bunker. 1!

[primal breach]

then kill one single raider

in the bunker. 1!

[dire lotus]

^^^^

[visual compass]

The sten battery is nowhere to be found

[dire lotus]

Though punisher 1 can be finished in a single raid, two tops

[visual compass]

So should the raider on be :P

[dire lotus]

Ignore the battery quest anyways you dont need to do it

Not a kappa requirement

[visual compass]

Oh

Guess i aint getting kappa before the wipe though

[dire lotus]

Yea I was just using it as a reference to show the quest isnt important

But you may still acheive kappa, this is my first wipe, I reset 5 days ago at level 47. I'm already level 28 lol

[bold kernel]

I took all my ammo from magazines and sorted them, what should I do after?

idk what to do with them

Im thinking of either selling them and get specific ammos

or idk

need help on what I should do

all of the magazines are also sorted

idk what to do @.@

[quaint onyx]

do you have flea?

[bold kernel]

Nope

lvl 6

[bold kernel]

sadly cant sell them on flea

[fallow spade]

a majority of your ammo is absolute trash

[bold kernel]

I agree with you but Im just new and cant buy any good ammo since I'm low level

[quaint onyx]

yea just sell them to traders if you need space

or use them

[shrewd fog]

Milk what level are you

[bold kernel]

[fallow spade]

he said 6

[shrewd fog]

sorry just popped in

[fallow spade]

oh ok

[shrewd fog]

lets go grind some of your quests

[fallow spade]

i recommend doing tasks and not looking for pvp

[shrewd fog]

get traders to level 2 gets you some usable ammo

[bold kernel]

Ohhhh

I do quest to get better ammo?

and stuff?

[shrewd fog]

do quest = more exp

[bold kernel]

Oh

[shrewd fog]

more exp = better ammo

[bold kernel]

alright

[fallow spade]

you can level up traders and get xp for lvl 15 flea

[shrewd fog]

^^^

[bold kernel]

Alright

[shrewd fog]

or run slugs and go factory and shoot legs

[bold kernel]

Thank you

LOL yeah

[bleak crystal]

How much is the green card worth

[foggy egret]

20 m +

[fallow spade]

idk no one has sold it for money yet

[foggy egret]

thats cause the fee is super high

[unique steeple]

saw a red going for 40m

[fallow spade]

oh i didn’t even know that

[unique steeple]

wonder what the fee was

[foggy egret]

probably around 35 mil

[bold kernel]

Oh yeah

[unique steeple]

thats too much i think

[bold kernel]

what's the keycard looking that is named "access" for?

[foggy egret]

the people that sell black for 4.5 dont even make money

you use that to go into labs

[bold kernel]

oh

[fallow spade]

i hate how fees are so much it just makes some things not even worth it to sell

and some keys are just annoying ti use

[bold kernel]

sell or keep gpu?

[bold kernel]

howcome I cant use it

it says I dont have it while I do have it

._.

[fallow spade]

put it on your person

[foggy egret]

you put it in ur backpack

[fallow spade]

i don’t recommend going labs though

as a level 6

[foggy egret]

yes,

[potent crater]

About how much does an mp5sd cost? From pk 2 but in rubles?

[fallow spade]

also idk if you are bad but if you are bad do not go labs

[bold kernel]

oh why

is all scav harder or sumthing?

[kindred vault]

About how much does an mp5sd cost? From pk 2 but in rubles?
@potent crater think around 150 usd

[bold kernel]

[fallow spade]

it’s full of meta geared players that are absolute chads

[potent crater]

What????

[fallow spade]

and the raiders are a lot better then normal scavs

[bold kernel]

lol

[kindred vault]

About how much does an mp5sd cost? From pk 2 but in rubles?

The suppressor alone is about 34k i think

[unique steeple]

[potent crater]

Oh ok is it cheaper on flea?

[fallow spade]

[potent crater]

Wait csn anyone tell em how much on flea right now quake maker costs

I can keep it there, I have alot of space since all mags are gone

[unique steeple]

nah use it

[dire lotus]

@bold kernel we could get you level 15 in just a few houyrs if you wanna run some quests

[bold kernel]

oh okay

[dire lotus]

i reset my account 5 days ago im level 28 atm

know the quests pretty good

[bold kernel]

its fine I'll try to learn more first about the stuff I use and start from there

so I know more about what I'm doing

basically become a nerd of this game

cuz its pretty interesting
