[mint coral]

oh I see

[charred minnow]

Internal headset

[pallid basalt]

From my experience, the cheap ones worth it are the Sordin's and Comtac's second

But I've seen some who prefer the tactical ones as well

[quaint onyx]

i like tactical sports for some reason

[charred minnow]

👆

[quaint onyx]

probably the neutral ish sound

[mint coral]

I bought these: Razor, Sordins and Xcel

To test them

[charred minnow]

I think razors are best overall but a bit pricey

[mint coral]

all of them are pricey haha

[charred minnow]

True

[mint coral]

they were like 5k difference

negligible

[charred minnow]

True but the sound is different in each one

Maybe you like the cheap one who knows

[mint coral]

oh I also bought tactical sport

[quaint onyx]

if you are used to the gsshs then the rest will sound very different and not so loud

[charred minnow]

Personally like the tactical one overall just amplified sound for everything

[mint coral]

I am not really used to them

[dapper galleon]

Best way to find your prefered headset is to regurlarily use it

[visual fiber]

is there a list for keys you have to have for tasks? im trying to make some inventory space and have a lot of key

[mint coral]

The only reason I was using them is someone told me to use them cause they are loudest

But I don't really like them

Because I can't hear steps clearly

Outside that is

[quaint onyx]

also i think veritas did a comparison youtube video about headsets might check that out

[bold kernel]

do headsets have different hearing distances? or its just different frequencies at different volumes but range the same and its up to preference?

[charred minnow]

This site has a list of quest items not sure how up to date it is though
https://www.tarkov-helper.com/

[mint coral]

Is this a good helmet?

[dapper galleon]

Its ok

[quaint onyx]

range is the same with all

[dapper galleon]

Class 4 is kinda meh this late in wipe

Most people run ammo that goes through it

[mint coral]

it's high ricochet tho

same as penis helmet

[dapper galleon]

Don't really do shit tbh

Don't get me wrong

Wear it

Without it you die to some pistol kid with pst gzh

[charred minnow]

Better than penis helmet I think

[dapper galleon]

Face shots will still kill ya same with ear shots as that helmet doesn't cover your ears

But the back and top of your head are safe from low pen ammo

[charred minnow]

Wear a shattered mask bullets will just bounce off you face

10% of the time

[remote onyx]

Wear condors

[celest sage]

It’ll just hit your jaw

[remote onyx]

Head, jaw moment

[celest sage]

Balls in jaws

[celest sage]

I don’t really believe in helmets they don’t save me much

I would just sell

[bold kernel]

who should i give chemicals 4 to

[remote onyx]

Tactical sports are good imo and they're cheap

Like 20k, same as a m32

[celest sage]

I just use gssh

It’s the same hearing distance anyway

[remote onyx]

I mean it doesn't really matter what you use

More so if you want it to also lower high sounds

[celest sage]

Being young my hearing isn’t destroyed yet so I’m fine

[remote onyx]

Protect your hearing

My hearing is fine because I use a sound lock program

Otherwise CSGO would've made me deaf already

[remote onyx]

Yesterday I was proned on the ground with a penis helmet waiting for someone to peak me, I ran out of ammo when he did and he headshot me like 3 times but all of them ricocheted

With m995

Still died though because he reloaded faster

[knotty citrus]

Can someone help me get my first reshala kill?

[celest sage]

I don’t have it that loud I don’t think

Also a sound lock program wouldn’t do anything for me because my volume is hardware not software

[remote onyx]

What?

[celest sage]

Like I would end up just turning it up

[remote onyx]

You could like set it up on software and then have it output onto the audio cable

[celest sage]

Yeah but if I couldn’t hear something I would just turn it up using the hardware

[coarse tartan]

umm does anyone know at what amount negative rep with Fence do the scavs turn hostile?

[remote onyx]

That sounds inconsistent

Using soundlock properly I can hear max distance footsteps in CSGO without it warping close distance footsteps

[remote onyx]

Isn't it like -0.5?

[coarse tartan]

nope im at -1,87

[primal breach]

do gpus still spawn in pc blocks

[primal breach]

I'm at -3.8 cuz killa attacked me and I killed him

it was like -2.9 before

[remote onyx]

I'm at 0.4 rn

[narrow gull]

supposed to be like 1.1% to spawn

[remote onyx]

Went down to -0.5 at one point and got it up without using car extracts for rep

[primal breach]

so 1 in a 100?

not worth checking pcs?

[narrow gull]

1 in a 100 is a wrong way to think about it

[remote onyx]

A lot of the components are 10k + per tile

[primal breach]

1% is 1/100 bruh

[narrow gull]

more like 99% to have one in 500 pc

[primal breach]

that's still 50 pcs lmao

500

[narrow gull]

statistics is a bitch and cannot be simplified to 1 in 100

[remote onyx]

Isn't the odds of it being in a PC higher because it's a 1.1% chance that it's one of the items that spawn in the PC block

[flint stratus]

odds of gpu?

[narrow gull]

maybe? Nikita doesn't disclose how spawns work

[solid agate]

its 1 percent independant of each other

not stacked

[primal breach]

tag of shame

[mint coral]

is the med case trade from therapist worth it?

[primal breach]

just find it in marked

[fallow spade]

yes

the chance of it in marked isn’t that high

[restive inlet]

at which point do you ditch 7.62 ak's? im using a 103. Not sure if an m4a1 would be better

[remote onyx]

The 762 ak never stops

It's the train that keeps on going

[restive inlet]

you just stick with 762 bp full time?

[wispy willow]

7.62 bp is very strong

[viral prawn]

every time i go to take a group of begginers through some quests

they always want to in order, Do quests, THEN get loot, THEN get PVP, and every time i warn them that PVP'ing post objective, is just a way of taking a 50/50 each combat of dying at not completing your objective

then they yell at me that they are new players... alright, thats why i'm telling you trim down how much you do in one raid if you want to be successful

[mint coral]

Is Holodilnik barter from jaeger worth it?

[cosmic mantle]

nah i was on 1.6 it doesnt

[primal breach]

i actually killed someone, what a shocker

[cosmic mantle]

also i feel so bad i just one tapped some guy using the starting gear on factory. like he had a iskra and water bottle and stuff

and a paca

poor soul

lvl 1

[primal breach]

return his stuff immediately

otherwise you have sinned

[primal crow]

is the place where you put your compass saved when you die? (like secured container saves stuff when you die)

[real trellis]

melees armbands and compasses all stay when you die yea

[primal crow]

oh ok

now i dont need to be afraid of losing my only compass

[viral prawn]

Melee, compass, and secure container, are all "Secure" if you bring no melee you can always guarantee looting one, plus less weight

[brittle prawn]

any armor penetration/hitbox experts in the house? i'm convinced that AP-M doesn't work anymore. i shot a guy with a ratnik (class 3) in the head from 37 meters, firing downward from a tower at a height of about 20 meters. no effect. i get one-tapped in return. death screen tells me i did 9 body damage, and 90 damage absorbed by armor. the hit was clean, center head silhouette, but taking the inaccuracy effect of AP-M and the lack of drop from aiming downward, it probably dinked the helmet

[prime sapphire]

Unless you bring cultist knife. That can be looted off your body. :3

[prime sapphire]

Shooting downwards is weird I usually aim at their neck and get headshots. Its like reverse drop.

Not sure what the physics are for that, just know that's how it works from experience.

If its an extreme downwards angle that is.

[brittle prawn]

exactly. i just don't know what to say, i've had issues EVERY time i've tried AP-M

[prime sapphire]

I dunno, I only use M993. :3

[brittle prawn]

yeah, i'll try something better. just trying to get some practice in with shitty guns before the wipe comes

[prime sapphire]

kedder lowkey slapps

[brittle prawn]

looooove the kedr

[prime sapphire]

kill chads all the time with it

[brittle prawn]

do you ever run the klin with the PBM ammo?

[somber rain]

I like ap-m, used it for tarkov shooter

It was solid everytime

[prime sapphire]

yeah I only run the supressed kedr though

PBM for pen,SP7 for leggies

Both work just have to use it different

[brittle prawn]

i think i'm having hitreg issues more than ammo, honestly. something doesn't add up

[somber rain]

Thats just tarkov

Weird game

[prime sapphire]

this game is defined by hitreg issues

CQC and full auto is unreliably

Only time I dont notice Hitreg issues is when I use my DVL

Which is most of the time but still CQC has isssssueesssssss

[brittle prawn]

.308 slaps, and if you're always using m993 you've got a 900+ m/s velocity too

[prime sapphire]

Yep

TBH wish I had .40 whisper buuuuuut Nikita hates me.

.308 is fine in the meantime. Needs a subsonic variant though.

[knotty citrus]

Ive played a lot of counter strike and there I never had a problem with faking people out or making decisions based on what happened on screen but idk why i just cant in games like tarkov and league and whatever

[indigo sonnet]

is pst gzh good for a mp9? and is it leg meta or chest?

[knotty citrus]

So frustrated with myself right now

[prime sapphire]

Neither its mid teir pen round.

[indigo sonnet]

so is it good?

[prime sapphire]

Mid ish pen, will struggle against armor but not flesh round.

Sub level 15 sure its useable

Its not "good" but it can work.

[indigo sonnet]

i got 6.3 if thats better?

[prime sapphire]

Yes 6.3 is one of the best

That is high pen you shouldnt really have issues vs any armor

[indigo sonnet]

oh i have like 100 bullets i dont wanna waste it im like bad at this game

[wispy willow]

9mn is weak

45acp and 4.6 are just better

[brittle prawn]

top your mags up with like 5 rounds of AP, so you won't feel like you wasted it if you can't get the first few shots off before you die

[surreal scarab]

can someone help me get lvl 15 im lvl 13 right now i just need to do come easy tasks but i cant finish them

[quiet flame]

try out the good guns

[quiet flame]

why run pistol rounds

[tall nebula]

Just a quick question, what is a hatchet run?

[arctic quail]

naked run - no equipment or weapon

It gets you marked and you will be rushed by the AI

You need to find a weapon to stop them from rushing you

[tall nebula]

Ahhhh Whats the best map to do that on?

[primal breach]

for elite level do i need to reach level 51 or finish level 51

[arctic quail]

Need to finish 50 I think?

You start at 0 remember so you have to finish that elvel

[primal breach]

i pistol run interchange and marked dorms

[tall nebula]

Thank you! 😄

[primal breach]

interchange has plenty gpus

[arctic quail]

Doing a hatchet run you want to spawn in Reserve or Customs and run straight for the weapon boxes so the scavs dont rush you dead

[tall nebula]

bop some scav in the head with my axe

[primal breach]

that works too

run around them in circles and axe them

[bold kernel]

where do scavs spawn on woods for the dumb jarger quests

[primal breach]

who's jarger?

[quiet flame]

hey what level are you

[primal breach]

why does my game start stuttering after every 3/4 raids or so

does everyone else get this

[quiet flame]

typically you restart your game every 2 hrs or so

tarkov optimization isnt the greatest

[primal breach]

should i restart pc

[quiet flame]

no

but you retart tarkov

[primal breach]

mk

im really wondering if i should run shoreline or interchange, i get great loot on both maps

but i die more on shoreline

[quiet flame]

what level are you

[primal breach]

32

why

i usually die to sanitar

[quiet flame]

run reserves

[tall nebula]

account is 21, got it off my brother who stopped playing, only done like 4/5 raids

[primal breach]

no reserve

[quiet flame]

why lol

good loot

do you have no keys or smthn

[primal breach]

i hate reserve

[quiet flame]

show me your stash lol

[primal breach]

interchange and shoreline have way better loot

[quiet flame]

learn it

[primal breach]

i know it

[quiet flame]

you can avg 500K/run reserve if you know what you are doing

[primal breach]

and the same on interchange

or more

[quiet flame]

nah

kiba barely spawns high end anymore

shoreline, maybe

[primal breach]

you playing interchange for kiba or what

[quiet flame]

nvm, i meant ultramed

[primal breach]

ultra med, emercom, tech stores, back of oli and goshan

[quiet flame]

also gpus spawns not that good anymore

[primal breach]

lmao false

they were increased by 120%

and 27% more

[quiet flame]

after a significant nerf

[primal breach]

i find them like every third game

[quiet flame]

interchange was good when lockers were good

[quiet flame]

yeah sure ,what else do you get on interchange, fuck all

[primal breach]

average profit is still high

[quiet flame]

on reserve you get less extreme good loot but more on avg

[primal breach]

i made 17 mil by farming it in 48 hours

[pearl timber]

hi im a noob but just wanted to say that this discussion is pointless

its just a matter of preference

[quiet flame]

thats not alot lol

[pearl timber]

and personal experience

[quiet flame]

some maps got objectively more spawns

if i wanted money id run dead lab servers with a Hunter and M61

[primal breach]

interchange objectively has best loot

[quiet flame]

cope

[primal breach]

pestily said it on raid too

[quiet flame]

"PeStiLY sAId IT"

[primal breach]

and personal experience

[quiet flame]

how long ago was that

[primal breach]

after dynamic loot

[quiet flame]

he said it before the locker nerf

im pretty sure

[primal breach]

no

on raid season 4

[quiet flame]

bruh if you want loot go labs

[primal breach]

don't change topic

interchange or reserve

not labs

[quiet flame]

reserves got attachments that stupid ppl buy

if you run reserve

you go white knight

and loot all the tables and drop down

advanced tube 150K

GS5B gas block easy 250K at times

supressors for rifles 50K

[quiet flame]

you just said pestily said interchange got best loot lol

[primal breach]

yes

[quiet flame]

pretty much every table and chair on labs got ledx and GPU spawns

[red flame]

Pestily is bad at tarkov. Don't listen to his advice. :eft_Thinking:

[primal breach]

meaning it has better loot than reserve

[quiet flame]

^^

[primal breach]

sure he is

[quiet flame]

Hes pretty good but i think for myself lol

just because so and so said it

doesnt mean its true

[red flame]

He's better than average, but I wouldn't call him good.

[quiet flame]

hmm ah yes interpreting what other people said wildly out of context

if you run dead labs raid with a few keycards its easily 1-2mil/ raid

[red flame]

I'd hope he would be decent given his time.

[primal breach]

there is no context, he said interchange is the best map for loot

[quiet flame]

well then he would be wrong because of labs

reserves you can make a case for

but labs is with out a doubt the most loot dense map on the game

fucking chairs spawn gpus and ledxes

everytime i open black keycard

theres either a defib or a ledx

[primal breach]

I've opened black card 15 times and never a ledx

[quiet flame]

and not to mention dark offices and main tech shelves

[primal breach]

only stims

[quiet flame]

when was that lol

[primal breach]

this month

[quiet flame]

if you want proof

[primal breach]

no

[quiet flame]

id litterally ask you to watch streamers

[primal breach]

it's just luck

[quiet flame]

like axel or anyone else, not their words

watch them

idgaf about what ppl say

igaf about what I see

[dull tapir]

Opened black 20 times atleast this month no ledx only defibs

Shit luck

[quiet flame]

thats probable actually, but no defibs in 15 raids is cap i think

also the main offices are cracked

with the circle table

rfids and shit everywhere

[dull tapir]

Offices are insane

[quiet flame]

yeah

[dull tapir]

Bitcoins too

[quiet flame]

ye alot of em on the shelves

[dull tapir]

Yep

[bold kernel]

Sorry I'm really new but where are offices

[primal breach]

sure it's cap, of course I'm lying

[dull tapir]

Also found alot of bitcoin in Violet

[quiet flame]

you argued two conflicting points lol

[quiet flame]

violet is nice too

[primal breach]

i'm fucking sarcastic

[dull tapir]

Wish they fixed the shelves tho

[quiet flame]

be braindead for 15 min, looses argument, "I'm fucking sarcastic", leaves, refuses to elaborate further

[primal breach]

doesn't understand argument, calls me braindead because he's braindead

[quiet flame]

you made no material point lol

[primal breach]

I said i didn't get defib in 15 raids, you said that's cap and I said I was lying sarcastically

[quiet flame]

I know thats sarcastic -__-

you dont have to point it out to me

[quiet flame]

cope

sneed

seeth

:3

[primal breach]

is the word cope your only vocabulary

you 12 or smth

[real trellis]

what does cope even mean

[real trellis]

oh i knew what it was just thought it meant something in like a meme way

[quiet flame]

cope

sneed

seeth

anyways please do go run interchange doe 48 hours, making only 17 mil while a labs raid nets me one every 20 mins

[primal breach]

pussy plays on empty servers

[restive inlet]

if the level 1 i just killed is here, I'm sorry. Heard the m4 shots and thought it was a maxed chad. Fully ratted a level 1 player 💩

[solid agate]

Z U C C J U I C E

[primal breach]

Z U C C

[quiet flame]

cries about money, proceeds to crie about more money

dont worry

ill donate you some rat rigs

[primal breach]

my guy, you play on dead servers. who's the real rat here

use your peanut brain for a sec

doubt it will do smth but try

[crisp nest]

@quiet flame texas?

or am i dumb

[quiet flame]

yees UwU

[primal breach]

still a pussy

[solid agate]

so u do admit to playing on dead servers

[crisp nest]

u hatchet run gpu

[primal breach]

not anymore

only when I'm broke

[quiet flame]

why are you asking lol, I said if I wanted money I would run dead labs servers

[solid agate]

im not xD

[real trellis]

why we arguing how other people play the game? everyone is different unless your a bitch and kill scavs as a scav

[primal breach]

because he's a weeb

[quiet flame]

i save my combat for other maps where I dont have to get head-eyed through a wall in my altyn by TTV_TooGoodForYou

[dull tapir]

Or a rat

[real trellis]

and everyone has been through a rat phase

[crisp nest]

bbc_ttv

[quiet flame]

im not a rat lol

[crisp nest]

is cracked

[quiet flame]

well I am

[primal breach]

says the only playing on dead servers, cope

[quiet flame]

but only on labs

[primal breach]

rat's a mindset, not gear

[crisp nest]

everyone plays labs on dead servers though

[quiet flame]

where did you get the idea that i only play on dead servers

[dull tapir]

No point playing more than 2 servers on labs

[crisp nest]

^

also dead servers happen to be coastal sometimes

not a big advantage

[quiet flame]

I legit said if i wanted money i would run dead labs servers

[crisp nest]

cheter

[quiet flame]

that I agree with

ive seen T6 kids afraid to push nakeds lol

[solid agate]

how would a t6 know if ur naked

[quiet flame]

dorms

kedr boi had a pompom

rushed a t6

dumped at him

went upstairs

lmao

the 2 man ran off

also another time in D2

my friend was naked, and had a stock ak

killed a mid gear

started blasting his friend

[dull tapir]

5 mans are clueless af

[quiet flame]

and the guy ran as well

[quiet flame]

thats so fuckin true lmao

[dull tapir]

I was apart of their team for a solid 5 minutes

[quiet flame]

you can walk into them and they wont notice

[quiet flame]

exactly

[solid agate]

its funny to run in one tho

[real trellis]

i ran up some stairs once looked at someone and we had a lil moment before i blasted him

[quiet flame]

it is for the memes

[solid agate]

just messing around with friends

rainbow pp-19

[crisp nest]

happened to me on labs

[dull tapir]

And then I killed 4 and chased last guy for 5 minutes

[crisp nest]

our duo ran in their trio

[quiet flame]

i did that too with ppsh drums and tracers

[quiet flame]

its just not good to run for serious runs usually

except if you have hella tight coms

[primal breach]

bruh

[quiet flame]

nice shit

[quiet flame]

whats da last 2 slot

[primal breach]

kite

[real trellis]

Best tshirt ive ever seen

[crisp nest]

...

[primal breach]

hol' up

[quiet flame]

...

[potent crater]

simply better

2/3 of the pmc's were geared out

[crisp nest]

action sx

[potent crater]

i know

i would have died if he had anything else

[crisp nest]

mfw he spends so much on 40s

and buys action sx

[potent crater]

mecha 4

they were higher than level 40

[primal breach]

bruh ks 23

[potent crater]

its crazy

[hallow island]

what kind of fucking magmark enjoyer is this

[primal breach]

damn exfil saved me 2 times from aimbot scav

2 ricochets

[potent crater]

its an mp7 on factory

he needed like every single one

[primal breach]

mp7 is my favorite gun

[zinc canopy]

Mp7 gamers pre fire so much that they use a whole restock of fmj sx in a raid

[primal breach]

true

[real trellis]

Booting Tooting ready for shooting

[primal breach]

visors save lives

[real trellis]

just found the best item in labs

[knotty citrus]

After unlocking the flee what kind of kit do i want to run as a beginner? Is it still unmodded guns? I've been running sks early in the wipe but now I started running the AKS-74U from prapor both without any sort of mods

i feel like buying a kit from the flee is super expensive, if i go with the normal level 3 vest and helm from ragman which i used for my sks loadout its much cheaper but im still depleeting my bank

[real trellis]

its personal preference and whatever you feel comfortable with

[knotty citrus]

Its my first wipe i have no idea really what im doing when it comes to picking a weapon or attachments. Should i just experiment?

[real trellis]

best option so you dont lose tons of money is to either scav for a gun or buy one and test it offline

if you dont like it sell it and try a different one

[knotty citrus]

Same with armor, i hear that almost everyone have guns and bullets that go through level 3 armor and it shows should i buy higher tier gear from flea then??

[real trellis]

wear level 4 atleast

those you can get from scavving though

i run this dont mind the dura

ive used it like 4/5 raids now ive had no problems

[knotty citrus]

level 4 is pretty expensive imo

[real trellis]

run stashes/dorms on customs

or reserve underground

as a scav ofc

get scraps

[knotty citrus]

ah i see

[real trellis]

if anything is expensive try to run scav a while to get it

i run scav for guns tbh i find scraps and use them

[knotty citrus]

okay thanks for the advice

and also i got a quest to kill reshala, how do i do that for the first time?

[real trellis]

remember its personal preference though you might find it boring

[real trellis]

just gotta get lucky and run straight to him on pmc

[knotty citrus]

he can be on several places right?

[real trellis]

yea i think 3/4 places

[knotty citrus]

I am stuck on a quest called chemicals part 1 i cannot find the place to pick the documents up in the train cart

[solid agate]

corner of it

[real trellis]

Cheeky

[knotty citrus]

On operational tasks does surviving on a location count when doing scav runs?

[wicked stirrup]

its right between the wall of the train car and the pallets stacked up. On the side with the bed, looking at the pallets on the bottom left corner where the wall, pallet and floor meet. Hope that helps ....

[wicked stirrup]

Also no it has to be PMC

[knotty citrus]

Ah crap cause i need to survive 20 on factory that feels impossible

[wicked stirrup]

oh jeez, yeah I feel for you thats gonna be a tough one.

[real trellis]

just go in naked

[deep crane]

r they gonna fix that random grenade pin pulling noise next patch

or anytime soon

[wicked stirrup]

yeah or with just a pistol and do your best to hide and make it to exfil

[primal breach]

what was the saturday event

[bold kernel]

Stirrup task later in wipe is no fun 🗿

[wicked stirrup]

yeah that would be tough. I got lucky and did it early on Factory

[somber summit]

Can someone finish the following pls. When using 556 but not the m4 youre using.....?

M4 is just way too expensive to mod for me

[primal breach]

adar kek

[somber summit]

Oh also, can you craft multiple things at once at workbench?

[deep crane]

no

[somber summit]

Isnt that the semi auto?

[wicked stirrup]

one at a time

[primal breach]

yes

sks is semi auto too

but it's good

[bold kernel]

ive been trying to run m9 but i always seem to run into max gear chads

[primal breach]

run m7

mp7

or vss

vss with sp6 destroys chads

[somber summit]

Unfortunate dont realy have enough fuel to just let it rip for a couple bullets

[wicked stirrup]

gotcha, yeah having a decent fuel supply is pretty imprtant

[somber summit]

Do you just buy fuel from flea or find it your own?

[primal breach]

you can craft multiple things at once?

[somber summit]

Apparently not unfortunately

[primal breach]

source?

[somber summit]

The dude above

[primal breach]

in one station or in all stations

im 99% sure you can craft in different stations at once

[somber summit]

I just asked for workbench

[primal breach]

*units

[somber summit]

As in 2 things simultanously at workbench

[wicked stirrup]

you can craft in different stations at once but only one thing at a time per station

you could have something going in med station, and workbench and lav. but not 2 in the workbench

[somber summit]

And thats what bothers me

Id like to craft some red gp and ammo

[wicked stirrup]

do you have access to the flea?

[somber summit]

Yup

[wicked stirrup]

do you have the rub to buy some fuel? Then you might not be in such a pinch? or could you barter for the ammo or GP

[primal breach]

there's fuel in the back of oli

and goshan

[wicked stirrup]

yeah that is usually a good place to find it.

[somber summit]

Im at 2.1mil rn so idk theyre 160k currently

[somber summit]

Thats where i plan on going the next couple raids

One container lasts for 21 hours if i just let it rip

And i think there is a barter on thera but i cant get that superwater

[primal breach]

unlimited fuel

basically pays off fuel so you can run your crafts for free

[somber summit]

1st wipe started 2 months ago, thats not even close to imaginable

[primal breach]

?

[somber summit]

The bitcoin farm dude

[bold kernel]

i cant imagine getting a bitcoin farm this wipe

[somber summit]

Exactly

[bold kernel]

last wipe i had it maxed but then they completely fucked up the gpu crafting

you wont make your money back with max gpus

[somber summit]

Should i just hope to find some and then start the craft and let it run as long as im playing, but stop it once i go to bed?

[wicked stirrup]

Always turn generator off before closing the game

I wish it was easier to trade 1 to 1 with someone

[cosmic mantle]

i just finished it by pretending to be a corpse

[bold kernel]

damn

what was your loadout?

[cosmic mantle]

a 5-7

[simple gust]

any way to get sherpaed through woods, its the only map i dont know off the top of my head where to go?

[bold kernel]

how tf did you have a 5-7

[cosmic mantle]

they are like 20k on flea?

[bold kernel]

yeah see i dont got flea yet

[cosmic mantle]

ohh

fair enough

then its a pain cause u gotta use shit ammo and a TT or smth

[bold kernel]

im like half through 14

[cosmic mantle]

just get 15 then do stirrup imo

feel like it'd be mind numbing to do it with other pistols

[bold kernel]

well i wanted to do stirrup to reachlvl 15

[cosmic mantle]

and worse ammo

[wicked stirrup]

Im not a sherpa but I could help you out once im out of raid

[cosmic mantle]

lmfao

well then i have no idea

[bold kernel]

exactly

i cant find the items to do my quests

so i need flea to get them

but i cant get flea because i cant do the quests

😎

[wicked stirrup]

F

[bold kernel]

so ive just been running woods trying to get scav kills

[simple gust]

i'd appreciate that Rob

[bold kernel]

thats like the only way ive been able to level up

[cosmic mantle]

i do factory with express shotgun

bring painkillers and kill as many as you can

[simple gust]

^^

[cosmic mantle]

makes a okay amount of xp for me

[wicked stirrup]

Ill tag you when im out and we can set it up

[simple gust]

gotcha

[cosmic mantle]

and open every body

for more free xp

[simple gust]

shotguns are busted

[bold kernel]

see but the max gear chads tho

[simple gust]

aim chest height, doesnt matter

[cosmic mantle]

i only run into like midlevels and new players

[simple gust]

shotgun spread hits jaw

[cosmic mantle]

also

just leg or head

[bold kernel]

then my luck has been way off

[simple gust]

thats why shotgun scavs are fucking terrifying

[teal patrol]

use flechette

[cosmic mantle]

dont care how chad you are your not blocking a shell to the fucking skull or kneecaps

well at close range

[bold kernel]

alright

ill try it

[cosmic mantle]

ks-23 with shrap 10

shoot leg

ded people

[heady fog]

magnum buck

all the way

[teal patrol]

need prapor 3 or ks-23 not worth

[heady fog]

Jaeger Lvl 2 = Magnum Buck. Easiest way for new player to have a comeup. 400 damage to the knees. Only need 399 to 1 hit.

[red flame]

It's not a chad that will ruin this playstyle, but a rat.

You can't shoot what you can't find.

[teal patrol]

^

[heady fog]

not to mention, you have semi-auto shotguns available. Pumps/KS is very punishing to missed shots

any new players need help, feel free to hop in 2-man #25

[cosmic mantle]

true

i hate trying to hit marked room without being good at this fkin game

[fresh vigil]

Need a hand no clue how to navigate yet

[deep crane]

i finished stirrup using the M9A3

the guns alright isn't the best but it works

$112 from peacekeeper

[cosmic mantle]

i think the big thing is the ammo available

without flea all the pistol bullets are pathetic

[bold kernel]

thats what i was using but i was saying how thicc gear chads kept killing me

[deep crane]

yea when i did it i dumped like a whole mag of pst gzh in every pmc

[simple gust]

budget pistols to run, grab a APB stetchkin with a wire stock

run some shitty armor shredding ammo, and magdump

[deep crane]

You'll run into a couple naked runners on factory soon enough

[simple gust]

^^

[bold kernel]

the m9 is just so expensive

im low on funds

[elfin elm]

makarov

cheapest gun in the game

hit em in the head on a naked guy

easy drop

and just run your scav in between runs

to fund your head bashing against the wall\

[simple gust]

^^ Learn where the boss spawns are

then as a scav

find the boss

[solid agate]

bruh

gluhar and his gaurds kept glitching into the walls

then shot me through them

[simple gust]

in my last 5 runs, 3 of them I've found dead chads near boss

[elfin elm]

nah

[amber wave]

The flir works just fine during the day right?

[elfin elm]

just do interchange caches

[elfin elm]

thermal

not night vision

so yes

light doesn't affect it

but glass does

[amber wave]

I had 3 mil and got bored so I stuck a flir on an mk-18 with ap rounds

[elfin elm]

straight up the best loadout for woods

not a cheap setup

[amber wave]

Not at all

[elfin elm]

but is definitely the strongest for the map

[amber wave]

3 mil is my all time peak for money, I’ve got 1.2 mil now

In one kit

[elfin elm]

you should reinvest your money into hideout or something

I spent like 6 mil last night on hideout

[solid agate]

how

[wicked stirrup]

@simple gust Im out of raid if youre around

[elfin elm]

like 15 gpus

[amber wave]

All my friends a newer compared to me so I wanted to give them a chance to use the .338 ap with a thermal

[merry dust]

tbh mk18 overrated

[simple gust]

im around , ill be in beginners assistance in an empty chat near the bottom

[elfin elm]

kinda

but still really sexy

[amber wave]

I’m just doing it for the memes

[elfin elm]

yeah, it's fine

[merry dust]

sexy for me is a nicely modded mutant

[elfin elm]

that's great

but not as nice as the boom of a mk18

[amber wave]

Still have never had a mutant

[elfin elm]

good

but expensive

and/or late gamey

[merry dust]

the boom of a t-5k is the same

[amber wave]

Killed a pmc who had one and then got domed

[elfin elm]

certainly close I agree

fav bolty

[elfin elm]

it's like over 200k to mod out one

[quiet flame]

ay yo bro tell me what range, map, ruble amount and traders you got

[elfin elm]

generally pass on it unless you have max traders

[merry dust]

100k for gun itself

[elfin elm]

yep

and another 100 for mods

[quiet flame]

I main the MK-18 lol

[elfin elm]

do you ap everytime?

or fmj?

[quiet flame]

i bought up 18k rounds of AP early wipe when they were cheap for around 50 mil total

[elfin elm]

jesus

[quiet flame]

then i bought an assorted 10k rounds of FMJ

[elfin elm]

do you top load then or something?

[quiet flame]

I run MK-18, M1A with thermals exclusively

[elfin elm]

lmao

[quiet flame]

nah i just run mags in my ass

[elfin elm]

so your chest piece defaults to a minimum of the zhuk-3 now, your helmet min is the ratnik (either type)

for guns it depends on what ammo you can get, and what engagement ranges

[quiet flame]

whats your perfered map, range, cost, performance as well as your trader levels?

[elfin elm]

map is a good starting point

the rest tend to follow

as map informs range, and so on

[wicked stirrup]

@simple gustI didnt realize what time it is i gotta take off for a bit we have a hockey game to go to. Ill hit you up when im back. Sorry

[remote onyx]

Ak modding clears AR-15 modding

[elfin elm]

are you asking or stating?

[remote onyx]

Stating

Because it's a fact

Undeniable

[elfin elm]

not really

you can't really suppress an ak

if you want good stats

[simple gust]

ah, you good, no stress

[elfin elm]

the opposite is true for ar

you kinda have to suppress

lol

[cosmic mantle]

what map should i try to learn ive got factory and customs pretty much learnt fully

interchange about halfway

[elfin elm]

woods is chill

interhcange is good for caches

[amber wave]

Woods is my favorite map

[elfin elm]

but inside is kinda not a ton worth it

[cosmic mantle]

i found a gpu inside so ive got high hopes for interchange lol

[elfin elm]

risk vs rewards isn't high enough compared to how good caches are

for how safe they are

[cosmic mantle]

i just wanna learn a good pvp map but not factory cause i can make decent money with my current cache route

[elfin elm]

ummm

pvp?

[cosmic mantle]

i got 2 slicks and a gpu today from cache runs on custom

[elfin elm]

if you want to be a baller

[hallow island]

shoreline, tons of the quest are there and its fat for money

[cosmic mantle]

thinking abt reserve but im also scared of it

[elfin elm]

go reserve

oh shoreline's actually a good option

it's like customs meets woods

[remote onyx]

I have a couple good ar suppressors saved up and I don't want to waste them on something dumb like an adar

[remote onyx]

Reserve

It's nice

Cool map

Great map

[elfin elm]

reserve is a great map

not an easy map

but really fun

[amber wave]

Reserve has a lot of pvp

[elfin elm]

is has a mix of almost every engagement distance

lots of loot

and good fights

not easy fights though

you have to put your best foot forward to do well on reserve

[amber wave]

I’m starting my raid now with the way too expensive kit

[elfin elm]

lol

[silent elm]

im coming back from a big hiatus and realized i suck now anyone wanna help me get back on my feet and do some early tasks

[elfin elm]

use it or sell it

[remote onyx]

Ai scavs kinda like make surface annoying sometimes if you don't go to d-2

[elfin elm]

not really

just gotta path right

reserve is both a chad's living room

and a rat's paradise

[remote onyx]

I already have a pretty good scav route set up since you can loot every part of the map and most people don't know every weapon box location

[hallow island]

reserve has been boring af this wipe ngl

[elfin elm]

I've had good runs

not my main

[remote onyx]

Corner of the train station has a big tower with a 5x5 weapon box and a shelf that spawns attachments

Little switch box behind the train station has a 2x5 weapon box

[elfin elm]

attachments and weapon boxes aren't really the best loot though

[remote onyx]

Inside the station another 2x5 in the open, one in the carriage, another on the roof with a grenade box

[elfin elm]

most of the time like 3 rare item spawn checks and one intelligence is worth more than an entire backpack of weapon parts

[remote onyx]

It's like a lot of the time they have garbage or something boring like a bare aks74 but there are times where you'll get a good helmet or armor

[elfin elm]

yeah but other spawn locations give better stuff more often

[remote onyx]

Gotten a couple slicks already

[elfin elm]

and of higher value

not saying it's a bad idea

but maybe rebalance your run to have more intelligence spawns or something

[remote onyx]

Also the spots with a lot of safes or rare item spawns require keys most of the time and I don't have that

[elfin elm]

there's like 24 intel spawns on reserver

and like half aren't locked

[remote onyx]

Also I do check Intel spawns in the knights

[elfin elm]

👍

as long as you're thinking smart

[remote onyx]

I don't know most of them though

[elfin elm]

instead of just a comfort rotation

woods has been my most learned map

[hallow island]

ngl

i feel like customs is undervalued as a map for loot

[elfin elm]

I can walk into any camp and go "sugar can be here, gold chain here, condensed milk here"

[hallow island]

like its been so dead for me even on auto eu so i legit loot everything and get out with a mil+ everytime

[elfin elm]

I just profit through scavs and crafting

[whole otter]

should i hold this gpu until i get flea or sell to therapist

[elfin elm]

I just play for fun and tasks otherwise

[remote onyx]

Whatever you want

They're valuable rn

[hallow island]

i mean

[remote onyx]

Sometimes they go down to 300k

[elfin elm]

save it for bitcoin

if you use it in farm it doesn't lose FiR

[hallow island]

i play for pvp but literally nobody wants to pvp so i just end up looting and dipping

[elfin elm]

so you can use it for a while

sell it later

[hallow island]

hold til flea

[elfin elm]

maybe labs then

[whole otter]

gotcha how do i use it for bitcoin

[hallow island]

trust me man ive tried lmao

i did like 27 labs raids yesterday and like 2 of them had any pvp

rest were crabs or empty lobbies

[elfin elm]

build the bitcoin farm in hideout

slot in

it do the do

[remote onyx]

This game sounds so boring if you have no one to fight against while looting

[elfin elm]

something to strive for

go play halo then

[hallow island]

also just sell the gpu when u get flea lmao

[elfin elm]

🤷‍♂️

[hallow island]

bitcoin farm is not worth it this late into wipe especially when ur that low level

[remote onyx]

If I had an empty labs lobby id be bored af like what's the point then?

[hallow island]

loot

ig

people want empty lobbies so they can just loot in peace but

i dont really like it

[jagged laurel]

Go to b reserve?

[bold kernel]

im done with stirrup

i shit you not i have died to a full gear chad every run

ive done 14 factory runs

not a single pmc kill

[vague oak]

does the graphics card have to be found in raid?

[teal patrol]

yah

[solid agate]

yes

[vague oak]

and its only 1?

[solid agate]

i aint even bothered with that quest

[solid agate]

3

oh

for that

1

i thot u meant for mechanic quest

[bold kernel]

ofc the one time i thought i would make progress in stirrup tagilla spawns next to me

thank you nikita

[pure mist]

how do they conflict?

pmc kills counts without extraction

[narrow gull]

can't get kills if you die

[quiet flame]

nah

[remote onyx]

Skull issue

Just like

Rush spawns

People acting like taking factory slow and careful is the way to go

[red flame]

Who is doing that

Postman pat timmies?

[bold kernel]

see i do rush spawns

and then there is t4 stacked geared dude

also it seems that all the scavs spawn on me specifically and hunt me down

[red flame]

Best place to gear up is factory because poor people go there.

[bold kernel]

that has not been my experience

i only get chads on factory

[red flame]

Well, you are the poor person.

That's why.

[bold kernel]

i am

[red flame]

Not saying you don't encounter other people actually playing the game when going geared.

[pure mist]

t4 is not really chad lol

[zinc canopy]

What was stir up again?

[pure mist]

3 pistol kills

[bold kernel]

well when i dont have anything but a pistol its definitely chad compared to me

[merry dust]

kill usec pmcs

and give dogtags

i think

[pure mist]

yes, but it's not really subjective

[bold kernel]

its get 3 pmc pistol kills

[red flame]

this.

[bold kernel]

whatever. im just mentally exhausted from doing this back to back

[zinc canopy]

Yea take a break do something else but when you do go back to it remember that you don’t have to use any one pistol try them all.

[bold kernel]

level and money is whats restricting me rn

once i have flea then i can buy something decent

[zinc canopy]

Just work on getting flea first

[whole crest]

guys

gimme a gun build

[zinc canopy]

So do other quests or loot runs

[whole crest]

i just iht lv 15

and got all da cash for a cool gun

[amber wave]

Make a cool mdr

[whole crest]

i have 5 mil is hat pretty big for 15

[amber wave]

Make a cool mk-18 and go hunt around woods

[whole crest]

alr bet

[whole crest]

funny ergoniomics score very ebic

[lone hinge]

its the game down ?

[whole crest]

no

[lone hinge]

my laucnher won't oppen

thast why i asked thx

[whole crest]

maybe

i will become an ash 12 main

[unique steeple]

welcome to the club

[zinc canopy]

Great gun impossible to run till you get grenedier done

[deep crane]

ran like 30 shoreline raids for the past week and never saw sanitar

and just now 2 times in a row i ran into him and killed him

and anyone know where to find melodonin

besides labs

[river rampart]

You can spawn with it as a scav

[deep crane]

is that the only way

or is there a rare spawn chance on bosses

[red flame]

You can be efficient in tarkov without flea, but I recommend scav in the meantime and offline raids to work on your gameplay. Pathing and general map knowledge of where to look goes a long way in this game.

Makes it better when you get flea. You turn into a true soldier of your preference.

Just need to first learn how to become the mcguyver of guns and apply anything you're handed to the situation.

[unborn cloak]

Labs

[bold kernel]

okay thank you

[red flame]

good hunting.

[zinc canopy]

Labs and sanitar

[quick river]

well if you are lucky, sometimes scav have meldonin inside bag

[lofty shale]

i have gotten no help in the voice chats . wondering how to fix this so i can buy the game.. any ideas?

changed browsers . changed firewall settings

[foggy egret]

Have you looked it up?

[lofty shale]

i tried to all i got was restart and clear cookies

does yours do the same?

[foggy egret]

Interesting

Nope never even happened to me

Do you have an ad blocker that could possibly be why

[quick river]

well maybe this page will be useful to you https://community.cloudflare.com/t/this-challenge-page-was-accidentally-cached-and-is-no-longer-available/290519

i can't give you further information cause i never get that problem

[lofty shale]

yeah no ad blocks

[lofty shale]

thank you fixed my problem right off the bat

[quick river]

oh glad to hear that

[cosmic abyss]

can anyone help me get started with this game. i have no idea how to play

[lusty glacier]

best 1 tap weapon for factory?

not too expensive

[tawdry dagger]

Why does my hideout still have only level 2 looking lights? is there a way to turn on the flourescents?

[wispy willow]

in the top left select the gas lights instead of the lvl 2 ones

[quick river]

ks

[lusty glacier]

wtf

[wispy willow]

its is cheap

[whole crest]

how useful is hideout evem

someone help idk what i should sell or keep lol

[somber rain]

is there a way to give myself as tremor for cold blooded

[pure mist]

fracture

or dehydration

[somber rain]

what would i fracture

my arm?

[pure mist]

either way

don't matter

[tawdry dagger]

but the gas lights are even worse lol?

shouldnt it be flourescent ones that are bright? like in this video?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7cFzMbgEi4

[wispy willow]

might be something to do with having all upgrades like solar power bcs i have everything maxed except no solar power or low lvl BTC farm and mines dark af

[zinc canopy]

They made them darker recently

[wispy willow]

well there you go^

[surreal scarab]

[neon oriole]

I'd be willing to help you too

[red flame]

[zinc canopy]

If someone tked you and you have a video send it to #discord-mod-mail otherwise your out of luck

[red flame]

Windows key + g is xbox game bar on modern windows os

[amber wave]

Finally lost the mk-18 kit, still down 1.8 mil from it

[hidden violet]

Guys what gun for shturman hunting? I've done like 8 raids and haven't seen him and I want to be prepared.

[crisp nest]

decent ammo

and you push or snipe

[pure mist]

Any gun. Sks will do

[hidden violet]

should I be rushing into the sawmil or tryna snipe him

[pure mist]

I just go rush

[hidden violet]

how do I avoid getting 1 tapped in the chest and head

[inner nexus]

get better movement

[magic yoke]

just found these after visiting dorm

are these rare by any chance

[bold kernel]

😐

[magic yoke]

is it?

or just normal loot

[bold kernel]

i mean its pretty good loot yeah

you just found the stuff and left?

[magic yoke]

there were lots of gunfights in dorm

[bold kernel]

damn

[magic yoke]

i had sks and old russian helmet and shot at 1 guy

he ran away i thought he was still there

i looted what i can

and left

and turns out

i did kill him

[bold kernel]

nice

[magic yoke]

ive never visited dorms before

is it common

[cosmic mantle]

when do i get the ragman taks for the cowboy hats and ushankas i have been saving these for so fkin long

[zinc canopy]

33% of the time some real gamers show up 33% nobody 33% low levels

[bold kernel]

just save em

look it up

[chilly jay]

hey can i get sherpa help in game

[languid temple]

what weapon durability should i stop using a gun at?

[fierce frigate]

ok what the fuck do i do, i am dirt broke, cant afford medical bill, and have nothing

[lunar topaz]

what do you got

[bold kernel]

do ur scav runs

[upbeat barn]

scav idk

[fierce frigate]

literally nothing

[lunar topaz]

like your stash is completely empty

[fierce frigate]

basically

[upbeat barn]

scav is really the only good option

[lunar topaz]

yes

scav and buy sling bags then rat run

[real dove]

Also how do you all play this game solo lol its too scary

[upbeat barn]

lol

i like playing solo you get used to it

[split ether]

i got used to it. it isnt as fun but im substantially better solo

[real dove]

I legit just play SPtarkov only because i have no friends on this game lol

I can only play factory without shitting my pants on normal tarkov

[split ether]

bruh sp would be so boring. id rather shit myself solo than play with bots

thats the whole fun of tarkov

[upbeat barn]

same ha

[split ether]

die with shit

thats fun

you learn to get over dying and push fights more

[upbeat barn]

agree

[split ether]

sp doesnt teach you anything imo

just play solo. you are going to die a lot. youll get better though

[paper slate]

whats sp

[split ether]

emulator

its tarkov but you can mod it

single player
