[solid agate]

is he talking about the vhemicals

[unique steeple]

no

hes talking about supply plans

[merry dust]

budget moment

[crude mesa]

indeed

not like i can get anything else from being level 5 lmao

[merry dust]

for a level 5 thats impressive

[primal breach]

is E107 rare spawn for ledx

cuz i found one there

[crude mesa]

wonder if i can buy that at level 5

[buoyant mason]

oh no sorry sir that's prapor 2 😦

[crude mesa]

how do i mount this shit

[tiny oxide]

U got flea market?

[primal breach]

ez

[merry dust]

tatm

[tiny oxide]

as you should be able to click the "linked search" and be able to find 1 mount that it needs, but it needs another and need to go onto a compatible helmet

[merry dust]

you need a titanium norotos mount

and some other bullshit

[merry dust]

that the buttpad?

[buoyant mason]

yup 😄

[crude mesa]

should i keep this for like a future task/Barter or sell

[merry dust]

its for one task i think

but its a long time before youre there

[crude mesa]

oki

thanks

[serene reef]

im p sure i was already going for ragman 4 was it?

when i had to get teapots

and that is around lvl 40 xD

one way that i always recommend is the tarkov-market website :v

lets you check flea vs traders prices

and if its needed for a mission/barter and etc

[keen maple]

Is there a faster way to gear up? Like what if I like a particular loadout. Each time I want to buy it all again I have to go through the same process of buying each piece/mod/ammo individually?

[celest condor]

@keen maple Buy 3-4 sets at a time. Keep your stash organized and set up for quick turn around.

[narrow gull]

only keeping them in a stash

[quick dirge]

Is fitting Hera CQR to AK in this update or is that future update?

[narrow gull]

like backpack with armor + rig and meds in the rig

[keen maple]

This is what I just started doing, though it takes up a lot of space

[celest condor]

You can also load up rigs with the mags, ammo, pistol grips, meds, nades, etc... So you can equip yourself faster.

[narrow gull]

save up for item cases or thicc cases

[celest condor]

What else do you need the space for?

[keen maple]

I'm a bit of a hoarder

[celest condor]

Stop hoarding.

Your choice.

[keen maple]

I'll contribute some time to clean some of this stuff out

[celest condor]

I choose to have a stash set up for quick turn around so I can enjoy playing the game.

Instead of setting up my stash to hold as much as possible.

[fleet sluice]

how do i take off the interface from the hideout? i want to take a screenshot but i cant get rid of "switch to" message in the middle of the screen

[keen maple]

I don't know why I didn't think of this before. That's why I'm in the beginners chat I guess lol. Normally I just buy what I think is good between rounds (when I die) and no two loadouts end up being the same

[shrewd roost]

Can I plau w someone? I have some stuff but im not that good at the game

[merry dust]

?

whatcha mean

you need help with quests or shit

or a duo

[shrewd roost]

just a duo or quests idek

[merry dust]

sadge

id be down to help with quests and what not

[shrewd roost]

when was the most recent wipe?

[narrow gull]

4 months ago

[merry dust]

??wipe

[red current]

The last wipe was on June 30th 2021.

[shrewd roost]

oh thats fucking ages ago

would it be even worth playing?

[merry dust]

yea

to get the hang of shit

[shrewd roost]

hm alright

[merry dust]

early wipe is extremely chaotic

[shrewd roost]

alr lemme update n shit, havent played in a while

[celest sage]

Being a new player during wipe is a terrible idea

Nvm didn’t realize you weren’t new lol

[shrewd roost]

im not super new, I have played for a bit

[merry dust]

whats your highest level

[bold kernel]

is it worth upgrading from standard edition to eod

[stable ridge]

hello just need a little help because when i go to download the game i get error 101001 (not enough space on disk c) but iv tried to install on one of my other disks with 766gb free and it wont work just keeps being difficult

[river rampart]

Where are you trying to install it?

[late seal]

I had that issue yesterday, for some reason my D: drive being full kept it from downloading the game, I cleared some shit off of it and it worked

[stable ridge]

well iv tried to install on my drive g but it think

awh

[narrow gull]

nobody is going to tell you how to spend your money, you have to decide for yourself
main benefits are
-0.2 rep with all traders
-gamma
-max level stash and you don't have to upgrade it for other hideout buildings

[river rampart]

does the error say "unable to load the file..." also?

[narrow gull]

oh and golden name

[stable ridge]

uh no

[bold kernel]

alright, i guess i'll get it than

[stable ridge]

it says not enough space on drive c

[quick dirge]

Reshala's in Dorms

hhhh

[late seal]

How much is free on the drive?

[river rampart]

check the temp folder directory in the launcher settings

make sure it's on a drive with space

[stable ridge]

5.1gb out of 111gb on disk c but 762gb free on disk G

[river rampart]

The default temp folder is on C

You could move it to another drive

[quick dirge]

How does one handle Reshala in Dorms

With .366 AP-M and 7mm pump-action

[stable ridge]

iv deleted it so many times but when i install again iut adds it back onto c

[river rampart]

Or there's a manual install method in #community-support pins

@stable ridge^

[stable ridge]

oh

how does one do that

[merry dust]

apm hits em hard

[narrow gull]

head tap them, i rarely if ever seen altyn guard which is the only thing .366 ap would struggle with

[merry dust]

aim head

and NEVER peek too long

[narrow gull]

let them push corners but don't stand too close to the corner

[river rampart]

download that zip file in the pins and then extract to the folder where you want it to be installed. And in the launcher then select that folder as the existing install.

[quick dirge]

'too long' is like

.3s

[merry dust]

thats the point

[stable ridge]

okay will try it and get back to you xD

[narrow gull]

if they're not aggroed you have like solid 2 seconds

if they are - let them push

[quick dirge]

Ummmm

I don't see them on any of the three floor

Agh

Wasted a nade already

[narrow gull]

i don't think they care about grenades, they're not pmc

unless they literally have no space they will dodge them

[stable ridge]

@river rampart gonna sound like an idiot but how do i extract that file

[river rampart]

double click it and then copy the files as they are, to the folder where you want it to be installed, or right click and extract to, and select the folder where you want them to be

[stable ridge]

hmm should it be a zi because for me its a unconfirmed crdownload

[humble cave]

Can you explain me this? What is the wiki "usually wrong for"

[stable ridge]

zip

[river rampart]

the file link in the pins of #community-support will be a .zip if you have file extensions viewable

[quick dirge]

I think I gottem

[river rampart]

It might take a while to download since it's around 13GB

[stable ridge]

how do i turn file extensions viewable

[narrow gull]

wiki claims skill exhaustion cd is 3 minutes, i tested it to be 5

[quick dirge]

It's just offline

[narrow gull]

rarely but it happens

[quick dirge]

I think I cheesed like

3

Because they all spawned at once loll

Offline is janky af

[humble cave]

@narrow gull You're talking about something else i assume? Can you link me the page you're talking about

[quick dirge]

There's another lol

[narrow gull]

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

Each skill has several stages of progression speed:
129% progression speed: At the beginning of a raid, skills progress at a rate of 129% (denoted by a blue arrow Blue arrow skill.png) until a first threshold unique to each skill is reached.
100% progression speed: Upon reaching the first threshold, the skill will level at its usual rate (denoted by the lack of an arrow). This behavior remains true until a second threshold is reached.
50% progression speed: Once the second threshold is reached, the skill will receive a 50% penalty in leveling speed (denoted by a red arrow Red arrow skill.png).
75% progression speed: After 3 minutes of not leveling a skill, the progression speed penalty is lessened to 25%.
100% progression speed: If a skill is not leveled for 16 minutes, the skill progression speed goes back to normal. Any further leveling of the skill past this stage will re-apply the 50% penalty within a smaller period of time.

[quick dirge]

Um, what

This Reshala?

[narrow gull]

from my testing it goes from 129% to 100%, 75% and so on and resets to 100 in 5 minutes from any value

but idk, maybe my testing just wasn't thorough enough

[humble cave]

We tested and added that back when it came in the game, it maybe be different now thats entirely possible

If you're confident in your testing we can change it to 5min

[celest sage]

It lists tons of spawns that aren’t there any more or never existed in the first place, it’s crazy how much people will come in here or the subreddit saying they ran some spawn an absurd amount of times looking for a certain key or task item when there’s way better ways

[quick dirge]

Oh

Hm

Reshala doesn't wear armour?

[celest sage]

Correct I think

Glukhar on the other hand can have an Altyn I think

[narrow gull]

@humble cave i'm not saying to believe me on word, just maybe you want to redo the testing since it doesn't align with what i've been observing

[quick dirge]

Yeah I think either AI is broken on Offline

[humble cave]

@celest sage You're claiming that hundreds of pages are wrong with such a wording. You know that everyone can edit the wiki or at least you could let the wiki team know if you believe something changed? Like this it helps no one.

[narrow gull]

like i said, i did very surface level testing - level until red arrow, wait 3 minutes, level again - still red arrow
but if i wait 5 minutes and level again - no red arrow

[quick dirge]

Or it's pretty easy to clear out Dorms if you go slow and steady

Then again, it might be because they didn't have time to setup. BSG pls fix

Seriously offline spawns are broken af

[humble cave]

@narrow gull I currenty don't have the staff capacity to test that deeply. if you want to re-do it and let us know that'd be great

[real trellis]

im havin g troubles signing in to the site its not sending a confirmation email everything is correct and ive checked multple times in all different gmail catogories

[celest sage]

The thing is that nobody can prove a spawn doesn’t exist anymore, maybe it’s just really rare. Like I can’t just say I’ve never seen a red keycard or any even remotely recent videos of a red keycard in 203 but they’ll probably leave it up because there’s some old screenshot or something

[humble cave]

@celest sage You just answered yourself pretty much. I have the 2 "newer" red keycard spots under investigation again but due to their spawnrates its hard to have good research on this. Saying the wiki is "usually wrong" is not helping anyone tho but rather make people feel doubtful about other stuff too and then the half-ass-knowledged people start spreading the real bullcrap again

[celest sage]

I should’ve specified it’s often wrong when it says that one item spawns in a specific spot and nothing else spawns there

[humble cave]

Can you show me where an article says only X spawns there? If it says X spawns there i doesnt mean only that spawns there but said item has been observed.

Also most spawns are not X item but X family of items

But people are only interested in the big money items etc.

[feral jetty]

Wiki isn't usually wrong, wiki lists spots reported or edited by players

[quaint onyx]

ooh orange name wow

[feral jetty]

For instance, there is a duffle bag on woods at Emercon behind the 2 medical conex crates that has high tier tech spawns

Random obscurity like that is hard to prove

And its even harder to document

[humble cave]

all duffle bags spawn the same shit with the same chances

that i can say for certain

[feral jetty]

You'd think, but its hard to prove without stats isn't it?

That's my point

My claim could be entirely invalid and so can yours without hard core stats, that's why it can't be blamed on the wiki

Along with the taiga 1 spawning in the mbss inside of old gas shack

Tarkov wouldn't be as fun as it is if the loot was linear and predictable

Its why it seems some specific lootable areas feel like they get better gear then others, it's almost as if they tweak them for that same reason above

And I mean lootable crates bags or stashes, not areas in general

[tawdry dagger]

i found a black keycard, but all the flea market trades are barters, anybody know what i should put it on for in rubles?

[drifting nebula]

2-5m

I made the mistake of listing it for a barter the other day, ended up losing 30k after all the fees of listing and re listing it

but it sold for 2m instantly

[merry dust]

yes

[primal breach]

bro wtf

no way he saved 40 ledx

[quick dirge]

Bruh holy shit

[edgy plover]

uhhh

[strange socket]

I have 2 guns worth around 300k that I picked up off 2 players I killed. But I’m a level 5. Should I sell them or keep ‘em?

[primal breach]

are both worth 300k total?

[near plover]

what are the go-to lvl 5/6 armors/rigs i should buy???

[narrow gull]

aacpc barter, tactec barter

korund as usual

tagilla's rig seems cheap for class 6 though it doesn't have much space

[hallow island]

gzhel, tagilla rig, hexgrid, cpc are like my fav armors this wipe

[narrow gull]

i hear some people like zhuk-6 for class 6

[strange socket]

Ones around 220k and the other is around 120k

[narrow gull]

gzhel is also a decent choice for class 5

[indigo thicket]

uhhh fried a pmc as a scav and got a ton of gear should I sell them or keep them?

[narrow gull]

what do you plan on keeping it for?

[indigo thicket]

Using it myself. Its a fully moded mutant I think.

[narrow gull]

are you going to use it yourself?

[indigo thicket]

yes.

[narrow gull]

now or some time in the future?

[indigo thicket]

some time

i just started the game today

dont wanna loose stuff

[narrow gull]

so in idk 20 levels?

if you're not using it soon it just sits there not doing anything so consider that

and in 20 levels you could make a decent gun(maybe not this exact gun) yourself

[indigo thicket]

I'm level 3

so yeah imma keep it for now

[shrewd roost]

is a vp0-215 good?

[narrow gull]

-ammo - meh against anything higher than class 4 but can one shot thorax with meta round
-as a bolt action - meh, kinda shit accuracy, shit irons, shit mag
-as a gun - bolt actions in general are only used for aesthetics and tasks so

it's usable but wouldn't call it "good"

[shrewd roost]

I have 3 guns as of now

I think ill take it

[crimson kiln]

Hi, is this where I can find someone to play EFT with, i'm new to the game by the way 😬

[bold kernel]

[bold kernel]

[remote onyx]

you ever kill multiple level 30s on factory and then get disappointed by them running dogshit guns

[unique steeple]

If u do it next wipe u get the perks next wipe

[crude mesa]

[odd plaza]

[unique steeple]

Urmom

[indigo fog]

[odd helm]

LFG havent played in 5-6 months lvl 12 looking to get into eft again

[solid agate]

i know mine matters

[obtuse shoal]

can anyone help me do customs quests im lvl 7 na

[sinful osprey]

hey how do we unbind keys

[bold kernel]

hello im trying to upgrade my standard edition and it says there is a 25% discount but when i get to pay its the full amount 75 euro instead of 55, what am i doing wrong?

[unique steeple]

U have to use the code

Promo code

[bold kernel]

i tried entering it says it was invalid

tarkovblackfriday right?

[unique steeple]

With caps

[bold kernel]

ye says please enter a valid code

[whole crest]

how do you auto equip stuff?

[near plover]

ALT + left click

[unique steeple]

Can u show me the order summary

[river rampart]

That code is fake. The discounts are added automatically.

[unique steeple]

i see, the code is only for merch

[quasi plume]

are scav spawns related to the number of players in the raid? just went to shoreline at night to avoid PvP to do Spa Tour - Part 1, stayed for 20min, checked weather>gas>power station>bus terminal only to find ONE scav in the tunnel extract

[somber summit]

a friend of mine just bought the game and is in his first raid but has massive stutters, weve go the same specs and settings. cam someone help?

[narrow gull]

i've had 12 scav kill raids when i was solo/one other player on the entire map as far as i've noticed

it's just random and they spawn periodically, not all at once

[sinful osprey]

i hate

i HATE

player scavs

hoyl fucking shit

AGAIN

wait wrong chat

lo

[narrow gull]

Game pre-order: https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/preorder-page
are you using this page?

[bold kernel]

yeah

i figured it out, the discount was 18 euro but the tax was 20 and then the fee and then conversion cost so had to pay 85 euro lol

but my traders arent in good standing

they are just neutral

[solid agate]

im guessing the ebst way to find 2 propane tanks is scav interchange

or go interchange in general

any special places tho inside of oli

like are backshelves better to check

[narrow gull]

just the big green shelves

[solid agate]

no special ones?

[narrow gull]

and in the back the wooden shelves

[solid agate]

ok

u wanna scav

like last time except we dont gotta play for 3 hours this time

only need 2 propane tanks for spa tour

[narrow gull]

why not

[solid agate]

also is it normal to hoard m855a1 because u can buy it for cheap from pk and shier

i just keep buying it

[solid agate]

vc?

[narrow gull]

sure

[bold kernel]

why are my traders not in good standing? i just bought the most expensive pack and it said it would put them in good standing

[unique steeple]

if u just bought it thats normal

takes time

[modern minnow]

It give you 0.2 in each trader

[bold kernel]

ahh

okay

thanks 🙂

[unique steeple]

did u recieve ur items and big stash?

[bold kernel]

yeah i did and the gamma container

pretty pog ngl

[unique steeple]

oh ok

then u should get 0,2 as well

[upper sigil]

anybody willing to help me with a couple customs tasks? i keep dying lol i suck. im level 10 and kinda bad

[bold kernel]

ye i have 0.2 i just thought it would put me up to the standing above neutral

[modern minnow]

I think he was referring to the trades worded rep, when you above 1.0 you are in good standing

[bold kernel]

ye thats what i thought id get

0.2 will do

ty

[modern minnow]

What tasks

[upper sigil]

delivery from the past, extortionist, and operation aquarius part 2

[modern minnow]

I would recommend you scav to customs to pick up the key and then bring it on your pmc for extortionist

[upper sigil]

i have the key

just cant get to the room

[modern minnow]

I’m unfortunately not on atm to help sorry

[upper sigil]

i keep dying on the way there

np man

[modern minnow]

I would just wait until 20mins left in raid. Most hyperchads have extracted by then

[upper sigil]

ok

know anyone that might be able to get on with me for a lil bit?

[modern minnow]

Best place is probably here.

[bold kernel]

#pvp-lfg #sherpa-info

[upper sigil]

thx bro

[bold kernel]

👍

[somber rain]

I have standard edition, would it cost less to upgrade to EoD because of black Friday? Or is that only for buying the game new

[modern minnow]

It also costs less to upgrade

[somber rain]

Ok

[unique steeple]

25% vat got me fucked up

[somber rain]

So, if I got standard edition for 45, and its 105 rn

I could upgrade for 60 dollars?

[unique steeple]

25% less than normal price

[kindred shell]

any news on wipe?

[zinc canopy]

No

[kindred shell]

ty

[somber summit]

whats this item examination faild shit happening recently?

[modern minnow]

I’m sorry? Is that a bug

[somber summit]

[potent crater]

[modern minnow]

You craft

[somber summit]

only happened recently were i couldnt examine shit at fence for good,

[modern minnow]

Never heard of it

[kindred shell]

[bold kernel]

The code is for buying Tarkov merch

[somber summit]

[bold kernel]

Like shirts and stuff

[solid agate]

[merry dust]

and yeah

[solid agate]

u got any tips

or just sup adar

[merry dust]

that shitty Adar with a 5.56 supressor thingy

[solid agate]

and run around

[merry dust]

that’s all that’s needed

[solid agate]

whic is the cheapest sup

[merry dust]

ACTUALLY

WAIT

[solid agate]

who sells adar

[merry dust]

power station and that one rock behind resort have 2 sniper scavs spawn

[solid agate]

ye

[merry dust]

they spawn early almost all the time

[solid agate]

i was thinkin just go sniper scav

go road to custom

repeat

or run down to pier for tunnel

does it matter if the adar is 100 dura

or does the 50 percent thing not matter cuz its just scavs

[solid agate]

whats the cheapest sup

the 55k rotor?

[merry dust]

most likely

[merry dust]

5.56 rotor

that one works I think

[solid agate]

ima go night

cuz less people seeing me and i can still see well

[zinc canopy]

No the rotor is 50k

The monster rc2 and nt-4 are better and cheaper

[lapis stump]

what's the best bolt action sniper to use for the quest the tarkov sniper part 1 form jaeger

[unique steeple]

use whatever u like the most

[potent crater]

Whatever is the cheapest IMO

[near plover]

mosin or vpo lol

[jagged laurel]

Mosin

[regal plover]

I liked using the SV-98 for that with PS ammo. 1 shots all the scavs in the chest and takes out a good number of players the same way too. You can also buy a suppressor for it if you want.

[jagged laurel]

A mod

💀

I scared

[jagged laurel]

🏃‍♂️

[red flame]

master chief the truest mod.

[merry dust]

Orbb is a good mod

[lapis stump]

thank you guys

[red flame]

that means little to nothing. master chief is OG mod, and big PP

[idle mural]

impossible to buy an edition during black friday I just tried with 3 different cards impossible to buy great sales

[indigo fog]

#discord-mod-mail

[idle mural]

Ty i go try

[real trellis]

i cant even log into the site to buy an upgrade

[idle mural]

[unique steeple]

tarcone directors office

[heavy vapor]

[winter breach]

If anyone needs a hand on reserve quests lmk, I need to extract 3 times from reserve.

[wide goblet]

[bold kernel]

GPNVG

[idle mural]

Still not succeeded in buying the edition, it is illogical the basic edition without reduction I could buy it without problem but as by harsard when it is black friday impossible to buy the edition above

[near plover]

how to level sniper skill the quickest way?

[narrow gull]

hit every scav you find in the arm as many times as possible

and reload constantly in between

and do this until skill exhaustion, wait 5 minutes and repeat

[abstract marsh]

Someone want to play, im kinda new and I dont understand how to get a kill 😁

[somber summit]

I can live with that dw

[potent crater]

i personally like the meta recoil m4 with the mur 1 s

[merry dust]

you can’t even afford one

[merry dust]

u can’t live with your level 1 or 2 traders

[potent crater]

what

im at 15 mil and have the traders for it

[merry dust]

aren’t you like level 3

[potent crater]

[merry dust]

sigh

[somber summit]

And there goes youe trustworthy factor@merry dust

[merry dust]

rainy I barely know you

[bold kernel]

[merry dust]

plus I’ve helped enough people here to not care

[merry dust]

I remember bleach at level 16

how he has grown

with his apple cat pfp

[bold kernel]

wait holy shit you actually do remember

[merry dust]

ofc I do

I remember all of them

[somber summit]

Or better asked whats the best cost to dmg ammo? Like mediocore exoensive on flea, but also still viable to kill?

[bold kernel]

[gilded sorrel]

question, anyone able to play a game with me and teach me the ropes?

[merry dust]

.366 apm

46 pen

[potent crater]

rip?

[merry dust]

it’s like 500 per shot

super cheap

[potent crater]

i mean he said damage not pen :|

[somber summit]

But only on semis i guess?

[merry dust]

just go sp7 for that

[merry dust]

still very good

[potent crater]

oh yah sp7 is pretty epic

[merry dust]

you can fire that thing quite quickly

recoil wise ur fucked

but hey

hits hard

[somber summit]

Dmg as in im lacking the word for overall just good/viable this late into the wipe

[merry dust]

my good friend have you heard of BP GZH???

[somber summit]

The be all and end all ammo chads use 90% of the time. Yea once or twice

[merry dust]

yup

[potent crater]

then look for bigger calibers

[merry dust]

there’s not really any that aren’t extremely overpriced

[somber summit]

I mean i could go m80 with mdr. Altough the gun is fairly expensive iirc

[merry dust]

100k

[somber summit]

Yea...

[merry dust]

and it’s recoil isn’t fun unless modded with a impress or

Suppressor

or a bmd

[somber summit]

Bmd or wave adds up around the same

[merry dust]

they do?

never tried wave

[opaque swift]

is 5.56x45 fmj any good

[somber summit]

Last time i check both were around 30-40k ish

[merry dust]

No

[merry dust]

makes sense

[opaque swift]

dang

[unique steeple]

wave is a bit more recoil but atleast u dont got a bigass fireball infront of u

[somber summit]

I like wave generally, as im mostly solo, atleast a bit less sound is welcomed.

[merry dust]

true.

that fireball is yummy tho

[opaque swift]

any good ammos that i could buy from ll1 traders? or should i just wait for flea market so i can buy better ammo

[somber summit]

What about 545bs?

[merry dust]

Ps gzh

[merry dust]

Good as hell

52 pen

[opaque swift]

for 5.56x45 i mean

[somber summit]

Well yea. But hoe much are they rn?

[merry dust]

M855 30 pen

[merry dust]

Iirc 1.3k

dips to 1k sometimes

[somber summit]

Bruh

[opaque swift]

good dmg or nah?

[merry dust]

Not really

[opaque swift]

or is it mainly focused on penetration

[unique steeple]

neither

lmao

[merry dust]

its beginner ammo

[opaque swift]

nice

[somber summit]

What about bt? Still ok or alrdy nah?

[merry dust]

It’s not gonna do good either

[merry dust]

37 pen

it’s ok.

[opaque swift]

i say if i should wait till flea market cause rn im level 13

[merry dust]

will get through minimum

[unique steeple]

545 bt = 762ps with less recoil

[merry dust]

bt is 600 a round

I’d still choose ap-m

[somber summit]

Thats the part i like about 545 i cant control 762 ak and im too poor to run mutants constantly

[unique steeple]

have u tried mp7

[merry dust]

running mutants constantly is the shit

[bold kernel]

ak-103

[merry dust]

ammo not fun.

very expensive

without trader

[unique steeple]

ye without trader not good

[somber summit]

Ive got a couple stored, but still working towards pk3 for fmj....

[rain tundra]

Run mk18 with ap

[merry dust]

Subsonic better

[somber summit]

Whats w that?

[rain tundra]

Ez solution

[merry dust]

Ah yes, the budget

[merry dust]

7.62 ak

[unique steeple]

do u have mech 3

[rain tundra]

Budget fr

[merry dust]

good recoil

easy mod

[somber summit]

I think so yea

[unique steeple]

then u can get subsonic

[merry dust]

no joke mk18 with fmj is actually budget as hell

[merry dust]

MMMM

subsonic the shit

[unique steeple]

ong

[rain tundra]

Ye at this point it is

[somber summit]

Not quest related?

[merry dust]

No

[unique steeple]

nope

[rain tundra]

Used to be like 400-500k per mk18

[merry dust]

it’s like 120 now

[unique steeple]

tru lol

[rain tundra]

I got pk 4 so I just buy 20 fmj per stock

[merry dust]

always spittin

[somber summit]

So subsonic for mp7? Some said dont play it pre pk3

[merry dust]

I would do the same but I’m lazy

[rain tundra]

Lol

[merry dust]

We are the Sherpa

[opaque swift]

hold up

[merry dust]

they aren’t

[opaque swift]

i thought fmj wasnt good

[unique steeple]

but if u using mk18 with like a holo just use ash12 at that point

[merry dust]

4.6x30 fmj

not 5.56

[unique steeple]

338fmj and 4.6 fmj only good

[merry dust]

I like seeing cool BOOM

ash12 is mini mk18

[rain tundra]

Both are fun guns

[unique steeple]

its very satisfying

[opaque swift]

dang

[merry dust]

should’ve seen this guy in woods

[rain tundra]

Ash 12 bullets act hella odd though

[merry dust]

blown to bits.

[unique steeple]

lmao

[merry dust]

they’re heavy as fuck

[rain tundra]

Can't figure out the lead and drop

Yea ik that's the problem

[unique steeple]

i only use it close range

don’t forget 2 extra 60s

[somber summit]

Rpk is so cheep might as well

[unique steeple]

maybe a sneaky red aswell

[merry dust]

may b

[opaque swift]

[somber summit]

Noone has the balls to bring a red in pockets

[opaque swift]

so can you only get it in raid im assuming?

[unique steeple]

last 2 weeks ive gone from 45 to 33 i just realised

[unique steeple]

and craft

[merry dust]

Ye

[opaque swift]

you can craft it

[merry dust]

Counts as in raid

[merry dust]

u can craft many things

[opaque swift]

im going to assume you need level 2+ crafting thingy?

[unique steeple]

i was clearifying so he didnt think u can only find it in an actual raid

[bold kernel]

good ammo is at tier 3

[opaque swift]

ah

ffs

[unique steeple]

3

[opaque swift]

im not even close to level 3

[bold kernel]

m995 m61 pbp

[opaque swift]

when i get flea market im going to buy shootng range and get my workstation levelled

[merry dust]

Crafts are really balanced

you only barely make profit

[brittle canyon]

barely?

[pseudo lynx]

which is th best place to start with

[brittle canyon]

DVD, wires, caps, vog25, star round

[pseudo lynx]

just got the game

[brittle canyon]

all push 30k/h if you catch them at the right time

[opaque swift]

true, but i need ammo real bad

[brittle canyon]

do quests from traders, learn customs and interchange, use your scavs, bookmark tarkov wiki and mapgenie in your browser, wipe isn't very far away so don't be afraid of anything and take any experience as a learning experience, your top priority should be learning maps and learning quests for the next wipe

[merry dust]

that works

[pseudo lynx]

gotcha

[unique steeple]

spp, bp and ap63 best ammo crafts

big profit

[brittle canyon]

if u have workb 3 you have flea, do high rouble/h crafts and use the profits to buy the bullets when they're cheap

not a very relevant reference

[merry dust]

u don’t know

the legendary

up up down down left right B A?

[brittle canyon]

I do, and that's not very relevant here

how is looking up extracts either a secret or a cheat code

[indigo fog]

for your first dozen raids the extracts are very secret

[brittle canyon]

the extracts are very secret for everyone regardless of playtime

we simply memorize the map

or look up a map

we adapt to the challenge

[tired rune]

Anyone down for some customs?

[indigo fog]

if we all know them they arent very secret anymore now are they? however for your first dozen or so raids they are very mysterious...

[brittle canyon]

the game doesn't reveal anything to you

[tired rune]

If anyone is new and needs help learning the game don’t hesitate to ask

[brittle canyon]

you simply memorize the "secret"

[indigo fog]

you remind me of Carlos Mencia"s song Dee Dee

[bold kernel]

why is nothing that ive got as a pmc found in raid?

[brittle canyon]

did u die with it or get a run through

[bold kernel]

neither

survived

killed some guys hex armor and got survived in that riad now its not found in raid

[bold kernel]

pmc gear isn’t found in raid

if the player brought it in themselves, it’s not FIR

oh

[elfin elm]

basically

if it didn't spawn with the raid instance

[unique steeple]

💀

[elfin elm]

then not FiR

[crude dagger]

can someone teach me how to play

[elfin elm]

yes

just buy the game?

@crude dagger ?

[crude dagger]

yeah i just bought it

[elfin elm]

oh nice

how much time do you have to play?

like, atm

[crude dagger]

1hr lol

got it today

[elfin elm]

let me get some water then I can do some info dumping if that's cool

via call likely

[crude dagger]

[elfin elm]

@red sinew@crude daggerdouble down?

ight, I'll start a group call or something

one moment

[wise tinsel]

What's a good loadout for PMC kills on shoreline? I need 6 more for punisher and want to rush the resort.

[rich rose]

whats the discard shortcut

[sinful osprey]

del

[wise tinsel]

del

[narrow gull]

what i've seen people do:
153/155 with ap-20 since you don't need mags
adar with 20 round mags since 1 slot

or you can go full meta if you have a gamma and keep good mags there

[wise tinsel]

I'll give the shotty a try. could you reccomend an automatic also? I have an M4 with 855A1 and a medium length barrel if that's small enough for inside resort

[lusty glacier]

hlep

[bold kernel]

[narrow gull]

full auto m4 can work but you really have to watch your trigger discipline since 20 round mags

now that i think of it vepr hunter 10 round mags are also 1x1

[wise tinsel]

hmm okay. I've been running the M4 with one 30 mag in my scav vest and two in my gamma but thats annoying as fuck

[narrow gull]

also something like ak-74/rpk with x2 60 round mags

or m4 with those

[wise tinsel]

okie doke. thanks, bud

[narrow gull]

or 95 drum and 60 backup

[remote onyx]

rpk drums cost the same as the 60 round mags

[pliant gazelle]

does armor class matter when it comes to ricochete chance?

[red flame]

ricochet

ricoCHAT

[red flame]

weird word. no, btw.

the stat itself is what matters.

no

u just get the bonuses

[unique steeple]

Don’t question it

[tough oyster]

is hatchet running labs a good idea

[pseudo lynx]

okay i'm confused

[real plinth]

who do i ask if i might have a quest thats bugged

[pseudo lynx]

how do you actually extract?

i tried to at 2 different spots and nothing popped up

idk if i was in the wrong spot or not

[unique steeple]

U go to the extraction

[tough oyster]

some have requirements, most u just go there and stand there

[unique steeple]

Probably

[tough oyster]

whats the name of the extraction ur at?

[pseudo lynx]

i went to railroad to port and nothing, no clue where else i would stand for that one

[unique steeple]

Are u playing scav?

[pseudo lynx]

yes

i was

[unique steeple]

Did u press double o

[pseudo lynx]

what

[real plinth]

i need help with a quest, currently in raid so it would be nice if someone can help

[unique steeple]

U don’t have the same extracts

[tough oyster]

depending on where u spawn, u have different extracts

[pseudo lynx]

i

[unique steeple]

U have to press double o to see ur extracts

[pseudo lynx]

wdym double o

[real plinth]

o twice

[unique steeple]

O two times

[pseudo lynx]

like double tap o?

[unique steeple]

Yes

[pseudo lynx]

hm

also am i always only given like ten minutes?

[tough oyster]

scavs spawn mid way into a raid

halfway or less

[pseudo lynx]

hm

[opaque swift]

pst gzh good beginner ammo?

[unique steeple]

Not rly but if U use it go for headshot

[pseudo lynx]

so a regular raid is normally 20 minutes?

[zinc canopy]

Give or take a bit

[zinc canopy]

It’s alright for head eyesing people

[crude mesa]

Depends on the map. You can see when you choose the location and see the length of raid

[zinc canopy]

Well that’s the max time your can spend in the raid

Most raids for me on a map like factory are like MAX 10 minutes

[tough oyster]

as a pmc usually 30-50, as a scav 10-25

but if ur a pmc u probably wanna extract before the player scavs show up

[pseudo lynx]

so pretty much rat it up and loot then leave?

[tough oyster]

players scavs have no fear of losing their gear so if they see u they will try to fight u with crappy gear

[tough oyster]

ya

[zinc canopy]

Depends on how you want to play

[crude mesa]

Or if you feel confident hunt down pmcs kek

[pseudo lynx]

i mean i don't feel confident in getting in a gunfight right now

[tough oyster]

i generally stick around longer in night raids because players scavs usually dont play night raids since they cant see

[pseudo lynx]

should i just go full in with like a pistol or something?

[tough oyster]

if ur new and trying to learn, going cheaper is better

[oak gull]

feel free to ask questions in my stream!

i should be live all night

https://www.twitch.tv/jun0_fps

@pseudo lynx pistol running is an amazing idea

especcially on reserve

[pseudo lynx]

oh?

[zinc canopy]

I would say use guns you have or get off scavs and pmcs

[pseudo lynx]

just been knife running so far tbh

getting a lay of the land so to speak

anyone have skier 4 that can help me out with a handguard?

yes

i have plenty of money to spend lmao

pvpa im w him

do it

please for us

[native tide]

what

[zinc canopy]

I would try offline raids too and if you have a second monitor pull up a map on it

[stark whale]

its the ak zenit bm-10 handguard

[pseudo lynx]

i have the map up on my tablet since no second monitor

[drifting nebula]

go offline and learn it, have the map open in your brain son

[pseudo lynx]

you're right

let me just go put the map there

[drifting nebula]

see there you go, now its there

[pliant gazelle]

ok so a rat helmet's richocet chance isn't diff from a ulahc's?

[red flame]

yeah, if it says the same thing, it'll be the same.

not sure if zero'd matters

[potent crater]

my friend the other day killed someone with killa's gear on factory, I have killed slick runners with a VSS, rushing people is crazy as a scav and I think it is because no one takes you as a threat

so stay safe out there, a player scav could be lurking in the shadows

[round badge]

since your loadout as a pscav 99% of the time doesn't matter to you, you are naturally less nervous and scared just because of how little you care, and oftentimes allows you to play better
at least, the last parts just what ive noticed lol

[turbid violet]

How do I find my way around the map

[zinc canopy]

Experience and a map

[crude mesa]

Mapgenie learn landmarks through offline raid

You'll get the hang of it

How I like to do it is do. Offline raid with map next to me to learn areas and landmarks to get my bearings and once I feel comfortable I do a scav run without relying on the map

To reinforce what I learned into memory
