[hallow island]

eh lol

this late into wipe ur best friend is ricochet

[wide maple]

Ricochet actually has an extremely low chance

[fallen hollow]

which is why i love the penis lemet

[hallow island]

in my experience rys-t or altyn have been useless, tagilla helm is meh i dont run it, killa is dogshit, but any helmet that has ear protection is godlike, aka the ulach

[fallen hollow]

my little penis helmet once richocheted 3 m61s in a row

[fair estuary]

anyone down to do some tasks on customs?

[hallow island]

ulach

[wide maple]

Ulach it is then

What about for face protection?

Is it even worth running face protection?

[quaint onyx]

ulach wont save from head eyes or head javs

[hallow island]

erh not really, but if you want face protection strictly, the tagilla helm is nice

[quaint onyx]

better put condors on aswell

[hallow island]

if you get hit in those areas you deserve to die anyway

[wide maple]

Most things beside an altyn or rys-t will stop head eyes

[hallow island]

nape or ears is kinda annoying since it isnt in ur fov

[quaint onyx]

last few deaths of pmcs thats what ive had

[remote onyx]

wendy exfil faceshield is okay but if it gets cracked once and you survive the raid youve gotta replace the faceshield

[quaint onyx]

not much you can do

[wide maple]

Wendy exfil black is 175k it's not worth it

And it's only a level 3 visor

[remote onyx]

wendy exfil tan is way cheaper iirc

[wide maple]

exfil tan doesnt take a face shield

[remote onyx]

it doesnt?

i thought it did

[quaint onyx]

fast visor is level 4 right?

[velvet blade]

how likely is it that my flashlight will blind someone? Or will it actually make it easier to aim at me

[wide maple]

That visor is 150k alone

[remote onyx]

also isnt fast visor level 3

[wide maple]

If you can't see someone because of the flashlight, they can't see you

[remote onyx]

flashlight meta

[hallow island]

no visor apart from vulkan has t4 visor

everything else is t3 or below

[quaint onyx]

yeah its 3 i checked

[fallen hollow]

and altyn

[wide maple]

And it's easier for you because you just aim at the flashlight. Flashlights are not that good at blinding people

[hallow island]

you fucking

🤦

[wide maple]

No the ops core fast mt ballistic visor is level 4

[remote onyx]

if one flashlight doesnt blind someone then 2 can

[wide maple]

Depends on how bright the flashlight you're using is

Flashlights are better for clearing dark areas than they are at blinding people. With the amount of flashlights you need to blind someone, it makes it worse for you because you're visibility is actually worse than theirs

They can just shoot roughly at the flashlight

[hallow island]

?

[wide maple]

The wiki is wrong then my bad

Nvm I misread it

But that visor is 150k

[wide maple]

You are a terrible, terrible person

Must be running factory I take it?

[remote onyx]

i did a scav factory run and killed a duo and one of them was using a ks-23m

[quaint onyx]

ks is great

[remote onyx]

they even wasted 2 star rounds trying to blind me but failed

[quaint onyx]

i dont use the star rounds though

[hallow island]

nah i was on snoreline just having fun

i rarely ever run ks and when i do i just go as said "monkey" mode

🦍

[remote onyx]

mokey hit leg

[wide maple]

KS-23 is not fun on the receiving end

[hallow island]

i agree but

[remote onyx]

enemy monky die

[hallow island]

when you literally run like you are swinging from vines in a jungle and 360 ur opponent

its really fucking fun

[wide maple]

What is the best 5.56 ammo type?

for killing PMC's

[narrow gull]

995

[remote onyx]

m995 m855a1

[wide maple]

Sorry, I meant 5.45

[narrow gull]

bs

[remote onyx]

💀

bs gs

[pure mist]

bs/igolnik

[remote onyx]

ppbs gs

[hallow island]

fuck 5.45 all my homies hate 5.45

[remote onyx]

545 stinky if you miss the headshot

[pure mist]

i only use it on labs for pmcs

[wide maple]

I've been using igolnik and it shreds armor but it takes so many hits to kill

[hallow island]

used it early wipe but its so poor this late

[pure mist]

by the time raiders spawn i use other people's gun

[wide maple]

Does BS have better flesh damage?

[hallow island]

i run sp6/55a1/bp gzh 90% of the time

[hallow island]

yeah

[pure mist]

igolnik guarantee 3 tap t6

or any amour

bs 3 taps amour 1-5

[wide maple]

igolnik has high armor pen but low flesh damage

[pure mist]

only big difference is, igolnik have a small chance of not killing people wearing altyns bc damage reduction

and igolnik can't one tap scavs

[wide maple]

I think BS is better then

At least all around

PPBS is probably better for PvP maps

[hallow island]

imo not worth it to run 5.45 guns to begin with but

preference i guess?

[wide maple]

I have them so I might as well use them

They are meta builds

[hallow island]

yeah i have a few meta 74n's aswell but cant be arsed to use em

[wide maple]

I just use them for money runs

My favorite budget gun is the MDR

[hallow island]

this thing too dapper to not use

got tons of bp and it aint expensive to build

[wide maple]

That thing is expensive to build

[hallow island]

i wouldnt call it like EXPENSIVE but its not cheap either

[wide maple]

The handguard is like 40k, the foregrip is 100k, the handgrip is 100k, the stop is 30k

Well you see, most people don't have max trader level

[hallow island]

1 more level for mechanic 4 😿

[remote onyx]

this thing goes so hard

[hallow island]

quest getting boring

[pure mist]

i go troy

also 553 is a bit disgusting

[hallow island]

ive only used akm not the n version

thing went hard on labs

lmao

[wide maple]

What do y'all think is the best mid-tier gun? I've been using the 5.56 MDR

[hallow island]

killed 9 people in 2 raids

not really sure where mid-tier stands but ive been using this baby since the beginning of wipe

well not really from the beginning but

its been my budget-ish gun for a while

[narrow gull]

that's just meta parts except handguard

[remote onyx]

run b-33 for extra 0.5% extra recoil off

[narrow gull]

or run better handguard for even better recoil

[unique steeple]

Switch out rk2

[remote onyx]

rk2 really go from 20k to 200k in one day

[unique steeple]

Wdym

[pure mist]

meta ak 103

it's 185k for the whole gun

and it's good

[velvet blade]

bruh the only tactical device that I can put under a sight is the surefire, and it doesn't have a laser...

How can I have flashlight + laser under the sight without it blocking the view of the sight?

[wide maple]

My problem is the JMAC compensator is like 80k rn

[wide maple]

You need a different handguard with more attachment slots

[pure mist]

if you don't have traders it's expensive

[wide maple]

I don't

[velvet blade]

It's a vector

[unique steeple]

Put it on the side

[velvet blade]

I've noticed that it's sometimes inaccurate

[unique steeple]

Nope

[unique steeple]

Always put it on the Right side

[velvet blade]

well there's no way to put it at the bottom, in front of the foregrip?

[unique steeple]

There’s no reason to

[velvet blade]

so I'm wrong?

[unique steeple]

Yep

[velvet blade]

🙃 I'm speaking of experience though... I've noticed multiple times that the laser is actually pointing straight, resulting in my shots landing next to where my laser is

I'm not sure if that's how lasers usually work, or if it depends on the rail/mount

[remote onyx]

isnt there a riser for this exact purpose

[hallow island]

hide yo kids and yo wife

[unique steeple]

A laser is never 100% accurate u shouldn’t rely on that

But it is always calibrated to point where ur barrel is pointed

That’s why I use ir

[remote zealot]

sounds pretty accurate, then

[velvet blade]

what is ir?

[unique steeple]

Invisible laser basically

[remote zealot]

they arent ingame yet

?

[unique steeple]

Yes they are

Ir goggles aren’t in the game yet

[spare hound]

how do you use them?

[velvet blade]

how can that invisible laser be helpful?

[unique steeple]

Turn it on

[unique steeple]

Does the same thing as a laser

Less spread

[remote zealot]

iirc even the peq laser is just green vs red, and its still a laser so same thing

[spare hound]

which mod for example?

[unique steeple]

LS321 I think is the same

[spare hound]

ty mate

[unique steeple]

Np

[remote onyx]

what is the best buffer tube stock

[unique steeple]

Depends what gun

[remote onyx]

i got an advanced tube i want to see how low i can make the recoil go

this is what im thinking rn

[unique steeple]

Advanced tube is the best

Red is better

Moe stock is better tho

[fluid sleet]

any1 know how much a labs arsenal key goes for

[unique steeple]

Around 60 I believe

Unless it dropped

[remote onyx]

i was wondering what you meant then i realized you were talking about the butt pad

[fluid sleet]

ok is it worth keeping for labs

[unique steeple]

My bad lol

[remote onyx]

okay so overall its not better than a zhukov

unfortunately

[unique steeple]

Did u put the rubber butt pad

[remote onyx]

even with a rubber butt pad its only 39% recoil reduction not 40

[unique steeple]

Ye

It’s the best for the American guns atleast

[warm cargo]

anyone wanna run some interchange⁉️

[remote onyx]

what keys you got

[sullen owl]

Anyone experienced care to help me out tonight around 8pm EST. PM if you can. Just bought the game maybe a week or 2 ago still trying to figure it out

[sly rampart]

Why is red better?

[unique steeple]

Better stats

[remote onyx]

Most anodized red things have better ergo

[narrow gull]

red goez fasta

[rain tundra]

Makes bullet velocity higher

That's the only difference

[bronze zinc]

how much is a labs keycard?

[unique steeple]

350k, 140k from therapist

[bronze zinc]

i spawned in as a scav with one :D

[unique steeple]

nice

[bronze zinc]

thank you milad

[pure mist]

slightly more accurate

but it doesn't make much difference

[somber rain]

AKM

I appreciate it

[signal plank]

How do I be less poor

[pure mist]

don't die

[remote onyx]

scav run a lot until you can do a good scav run in 10 minutes

[pure mist]

and play more

[remote onyx]

when you learn a good route you can get money

or just get good at pvp lol

[pure mist]

pvp dont' really make money

you make money by pvp to clear out the high tier loot area

so ig in a way

[honest shore]

What hideout upgrades should I get first?

[narrow gull]

workbench for presets

[solid agate]

moe with butpad is op

red stuff is just slightly better but more expensive

[cloud oriole]

I assume the only ways to die less are to get a better gaming chair, not run everywhere, and remember where the damn snipers are

Right?

[honest shore]

Wearing better gear and better meds also help

If you win a fight and then are crippled you probably won't make it out

[solid agate]

well u could hide in a corner like a bisssh

[honest shore]

And looting faster helps a ton.

[crisp nest]

hide in corner like egg

[solid agate]

woah hey now

i pride myself on being the king of rats

i have covert movement maxed ill have you know

[narrow gull]

maxed covert is actually op

[remote onyx]

also taking things slowly helps a lot

if you get put into a combat situation and dont know exactly where the enemy is the solution isnt to run to them

[pure mist]

@potent crater you in labs lobby?

someone named dragonstorm24 invited me lol

[potent crater]

yes

i was spam inviting everyone lmao

[potent crater]

why is only pistol grip insured???

[unique steeple]

That shit important bro

Sentimental value

[limber mantle]

video link to a good guide?

for a starter

[narrow gull]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--8HcUwSZ8I

basic basics

[limber mantle]

32 mins 0-0 dang this game must be complicated xD

[narrow gull]

pestily also has a series("raid) where he goes through all the progression

if you want to watch it later

[limber mantle]

i see

ty ty

[real trellis]

Extremely

[limber mantle]

:O

[narrow gull]

tarkov oversimplified: start raid, loot shit, kill people, die to killa

[pure mist]

no, it's start raid, get 3 gpu, btcs, wiped lobby, hit 11sr, killa waiting down the hole

, get fucked by igolnik

[remote onyx]

i took it from another ak build that i insured

[cinder lava]

best way to increase skier spendig?

[narrow gull]

sell gun parts to him instead of mechanic

[remote onyx]

buy toz

a lot of toz

[hazy zephyr]

is the AK 74 good with ps grs ammo

ps gs i meam

mean

[somber rain]

Uh, no

That round is just not good in general

Still don't know how I got two tapped with it despite wearing a gzhel tho

Thats tarkov

[real trellis]

its an ok round not the best but not the worst

[somber rain]

Yeah

If you don't have flea its the best you can get for 5.45

[narrow gull]

from scavs?

[real trellis]

just dont expect to win gunfights easily

[hazy zephyr]

ok thats what i thought i have a pretty expensive loadout thats basically my only flaw

[remote onyx]

its good if you can hit headshots

i mean the makarov is good if you can hit headshots

[hazy zephyr]

should i just use the vpo then

and go for long range

[real trellis]

depends on your goal for the raid

[hazy zephyr]

i just need to get out

[real trellis]

the map?

[hazy zephyr]

customs

[remote onyx]

later on you start finding actual aks but early on just buy an sks or something there isnt much of a difference what guns you run

[zinc canopy]

Which one

[hazy zephyr]

i should probably do a pistol run

[real trellis]

Ehhh expect chonky people in customs

[whole crest]

can anyone help me clean out my stash and sell shit? im hording and idk what to sell

[hazy zephyr]

VPO-215

[zinc canopy]

Personally I like sniping on random spots on customs so if you can get a half decent scope and apm go for it

[real trellis]

So far my favourite guns

[zinc canopy]

Otherwise probably pistol

[real trellis]

favorite

[zinc canopy]

One of these is wayyyy better than the other

[real trellis]

hey you talking about the ash-12

[remote onyx]

clearly

[somber rain]

Yeah

Thorax

[real trellis]

ash-12 destroys in factories

[narrow gull]

yea, scavs don't care about your armor

or your feelings

[somber rain]

Scavs transcend physical layers

[narrow gull]

they are bugged af

[real trellis]

ive been shot through doors by scavs

[narrow gull]

anyone can shoot through doors

[real trellis]

i said scavs

that isnt normal

[tough oyster]

Does the ash12 have that giant supressor?

[zinc canopy]

Yes

[real trellis]

it has no suppressor

[real trellis]

😮

[zinc canopy]

Yes but if you use it I hate you

[real trellis]

So im guessing im the only one that finds it destroys?

[unique steeple]

No

It definitely destroys

[real trellis]

its a hipfire machine

[remote onyx]

ash 12 suppressor looks kinda dumb

[unique steeple]

Ash 12 sniping is my go to

[zinc canopy]

It absolutely fucks people up

[real trellis]

do i do it

[unique steeple]

No

U legally cannot

[real trellis]

ive never used it though 😦

oh yea i also accidently bought 400 M80 instead of 40

[zinc canopy]

How will they know they shouldn’t exist on this planet any more if they can’t hear it

[real trellis]

Got all this to use

[zinc canopy]

Shove them in a sa 58 drum and have fun

[narrow gull]

the only reason to use ash-12 is the sound of casings hitting the floor

that is enough by itself

[real trellis]

yea it does sound juicy

would you consider the ash-12 as a cheap weapon to use?

[somber summit]

You want a cheap gun with big bang, rfb with m80

[unique steeple]

that is indeed nice

[somber summit]

Or the mdr if youre into full auto that kicks like a hore

[unique steeple]

ye i would

40k for gun

[real trellis]

its 60k for the gun

2k each bullet though

[unique steeple]

kinda expensive mags but

700 for me

[real trellis]

yea lucky you

[unique steeple]

do grenadier

[real trellis]

i still on the early missions of prapor

[unique steeple]

ps12b costs 2k?

[real trellis]

yea

[unique steeple]

was like 4k for a long while

[unique steeple]

nice

[real trellis]

i mean i could have like 2 mags on me with some more ammo in my container

no mags on the flea though

[zinc canopy]

That’s why the first quest I rushed for was grenadier

The regulated materials so I can get 30k ash 12s

[topaz umbra]

is the twitch rivals half mask worth anything?

[remote onyx]

its worth something

[topaz umbra]

whats a good flea market price? dont see any

[unique steeple]

check barters

[blazing bay]

hunter

[blazing bay]

I think I sold one before for a few hundred k

800k I think?

[topaz umbra]

just sold it for a mil

[blazing bay]

Not too certain tho

Good

[real trellis]

Tagilla just took 9 shots of the ash-12 3 going in behind him

[quaint onyx]

dont shoot his armour

[blazing bay]

I once dumped more than half of a 60 rounder mag on him and he didn’t die

[real trellis]

he was crouched down healing

[blazing bay]

995 60 rounder

[pure mist]

sounds like you hit limbs

[blazing bay]

No full on chest and stomach

He was like on my face

I did 1900dmg

[pure mist]

impossible

[blazing bay]

But I killed someone before

[pure mist]

he doesn't even have 1900

[blazing bay]

Let me finish man

[real trellis]

how hp does he have

[blazing bay]

I legged some guy and I took his m4 with 995

[pure mist]

tagilla still dont' have 1460 hp

[blazing bay]

Believe me or not I did 1900

[blazing bay]

I might have killed him but I died after his second hammering

[real trellis]

ah ok mine kinda makes sense since he was healing

[pure mist]

it's just impossible i can't believe you even if i wanted to

the numbers dont' lie

[narrow gull]

unless he healed

[pure mist]

that's possible

[blazing bay]

I don’t know maybe I killed a scav before but I don’t think so I remember I killed a pmc that’s it

He didn’t it all happened within 1 min

[pure mist]

well all the numbers are against you, unless you have video proof to prove the numbers wrong

[blazing bay]

I don’t record unless I know what will happen

The numbers was def correct bcs I rarely do 1900 dmg but the kill count might be wrong

[narrow gull]

shadowplay or similar stuff record in bg

[limber fog]

LFG Lvl 5 looking to learn a bit more DM me

[narrow gull]

and you just save the clip if you need it

[elfin elm]

Tagilla has over 2k hp guys

[pure mist]

i use obs it's alr ig

[pure mist]

what lol

[blazing bay]

I know I use it but i ran out of space so I only record really good stuff

[elfin elm]

wait, number fudged

scusey

[pure mist]

^

[elfin elm]

big oof

brain went smooth and swapped 1 and 2

lol

[elfin elm]

he has stims sometimes

possible one was regen

[blazing bay]

He ran right at me I didn’t see him do anything else before rushing at me, he was wondering at med tent I thought he was a pmc

[elfin elm]

I believe sanitar used to have a bug where if he gets aggroed he uses all his inventory's worth of stims at the same time

with no animation

so you never know

[blazing bay]

Wtf lol

[elfin elm]

bugs happen

they did fix taht one

but again, anything's possible

[blazing bay]

But sanitar does take a few headshot sometimes

[elfin elm]

he has some chunky hp

[blazing bay]

Yes he does

[elfin elm]

if I remember he has even more hp to his head than tagilla

[blazing bay]

I think it’s a little less than tagillas yes?

Oh I didn’t know that

I just vaguely remember that all bosses have about more or less than 1000 hp

Maybe the pmc chad had a stim on

He was wearing altyn and slick

He might have had a fight before

[tough oyster]

9mm gzh fine for factory?

[blazing bay]

I’d run shotty with magnum

[tough oyster]

i have to use a pistol for 3 pmc kills

[blazing bay]

I used a glock and 57

57 is the best bet

Gzh only effective if you hit head

[pure mist]

I thought he does still

He use stims after he’s aggro

[west fossil]

Dumb question, but someone i was in a scav run with was trying to give me a backpack or sling i think, it only allowed me to search it, how do i pick the actual backup up?

[bold kernel]

check to see of u have a backpack on, yourself

if u do drop it and pick that one up

[blazing bay]

If that bag is bigger than your bag you can’t take it

[hot marsh]

anyone wanna duo and show me good loot spots? lvl 5 here, juat trying to get hang of it before wipe comes

[lunar herald]

Check the interactive map and look for weapon boxes, stashes and safes. Jackets are also good early to find keys

[warm locust]

Is it okay to just join one of the beginners assistance rooms?

[somber rain]

Yeah

They're there for a reason

[late monolith]

can someone teach me basics of tarkov I JUST bought and installed the game.

[honest shore]

Just saw someone use a compass, how do I do that? Do I have to have one or is it just a thing everyone gets?

[bold kernel]

complete prapor search mission, i think he gives you one

[spice gate]

Does anyone have a good ammo chart?

[honest shore]

Is it a losable item or is it like a melee?

[unique steeple]

It goes in compass slot which is not potable

[honest shore]

potable?

[zinc canopy]

Use the ballistics page on the wiki

[honest shore]

Ah autocorrect I imagine, thanks.

[zinc canopy]

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

[spice gate]

thx

[indigo fog]

loot spots depend on what youw ant to loot and where you want to loot and how much youre willing to fight to get to the loot

[somber summit]

Dorms mp7 goes brr. All mine or ill die on the spot

[unique steeple]

lootable

[mellow sleet]

woods is best loot map

[unique steeple]

I agree

[sullen owl]

I've really only played customs since I got the game. Dont alot of higher geared people just snipe on woods. That's all I see on YouTube anyway

[mellow sleet]

hardly anyone has gear on woods

they will have lvl 4 rig tops most of the time

[bold kernel]

you just don’t see them

i ran trio FLIR woods like all night

[indigo fog]

i rarely play customs

[mellow sleet]

just got off from doing that

no one was geared

all sks's and dvls

maybe an m1 rig

[bold kernel]

well my raids that night were pretty empty sooo

[indigo fog]

woods is the best loot map if you dont want to see anyone... interchange is best if you dont care and reserve is best if you wanna fight

[mellow sleet]

labs

[indigo fog]

labs is for cheaters

[mellow sleet]

true

but also hella loot

[somber summit]

Woods only if you know the map a bit, as it can get confusing af

[blazing bay]

I’d change interchange to shoreline

[mellow sleet]

no

[blazing bay]

Shoreline is rich as hell

[mellow sleet]

interchange has so much loot

[indigo fog]

i figure he doesnt have a ton of keys if he just got the game

[blazing bay]

That case yes

[somber summit]

Shore too big tho. If you get a 12min run you cant loot shit if they spawn you badly.

Oh wait, pmc not scav lol nvm

[blazing bay]

You can, I main shoreline I go resort all the time 15 mins tops

[indigo fog]

god jager sucks more than exfil campers

[somber summit]

Welp i guess its different if you know the map lol. Still not feelin comfortable on anything besides inter and customs

[blazing bay]

If you spawn back side of resort you are guaranteed to get rich if you just rush in

Customs doesn’t have much good loot imo

But it’s a good all around map

[somber summit]

Found a bitcoin just today on customs.

[indigo fog]

customs is shit for players with level 1 strength

[merry dust]

where what

[somber summit]

And its more for the gear, heals and marked that i run customs

[blazing bay]

Bitcoin has a lot of spawns on resort

And ledx and gpus

[merry dust]

Labs is everything

[somber summit]

The room with the statue in the toilet. Behind that on the floor was a btc

[blazing bay]

My friend found 2 gpu and 1 ledx in 301 west wing the other day

Only one room

[merry dust]

Statue in the toilet?

The USEC Customs stash key (USEC) is a Key in Escape from Tarkov.

[somber summit]

Idk what uts called

[merry dust]

that building

where that key goes

[somber summit]

Ah yea that one

I always go there for horses but today was a btc there lol

Easy money

[merry dust]

L bozos

[indigo fog]

woods is the best place for horses

[merry dust]

Labs has all my goodies

[somber summit]

Im not doing labs period.

[somber summit]

I suck at woods for now. Still learning this really confusing map

[merry dust]

L bozos

[indigo fog]

just run to the center, find the hidden stash extract, find the rock pile next to it, climb the rocks, find the bedrool(without falling) loot, go up the rock stairs more, go in sniper scav bunker, loot more, kill sniper scav, loot him too

you can get there from the tech crate in the center as well as long as youre not overwieght

[somber summit]

Uhm ok i guess

[indigo fog]

ive found 3-4 horses there most raids some clocks and a raven as well

[somber summit]

Ive found ravens in abandoned villag in the tower thingy on the water

[serene adder]

oh fuck me

[indigo fog]

i dont know that ive ever looted in the scav village

[somber summit]

Not scav village

The abandoned one

[merry dust]

like cultist place?

[indigo fog]

thats actually what i meant

[somber summit]

The one with the broken wooden houses

[merry dust]

that’s cultist place

[somber summit]

But it says abandoned village...

[merry dust]

cultist place.

[indigo fog]

i run woods at night i go usec lumbermill center then fob or dead man then out

[somber summit]

Mapgenie>you

[indigo fog]

so no shitty village or the other circle

[kindred shell]

can anyone help me with the key 114 quest on dorms

[indigo fog]

i dontg want smoke from cultist

[somber summit]

Well if you go at night i wouldnt go there either

I dont lile those cultists

[indigo fog]

my shotguns barely scratch cultists

[bold kernel]

hey guys, I just finished this scav run, and Im stuck in this menu

[kindred shell]

ive raided dorms so many times and i cant get that damn key

[bold kernel]

I have a full stash

[bold kernel]

then make room

[indigo fog]

rip loot

[somber summit]

Dont do scav runs when your stash is full....

[bold kernel]

@indigo fog I cant even exit the menu, so im stuck in here.

[merry dust]

Ez

[kindred shell]

why do you have so many aks

[indigo fog]

sorting table enough stuff to get the bag out atleast

[kindred shell]

sell them shits

[bold kernel]

I cant if im stuck in the menu

[indigo fog]

fold stocks on guns that you can load clips with ammo

[bold kernel]

all of them are

[indigo fog]

then start picking what to keep and what to discard/leave behiend

[bold kernel]

ah

thanks boys

have a good day

[indigo fog]

pulling clips and handles off of guns might make a little more room as well

[blazing bay]

It off the grip on all the ask you get your spaces

[bold kernel]

anyone wants to chill a lil bit

and help me out

i got ADHD so its kinda hard to play solo for me

[blazing bay]

If your pmc isn’t equipped with bag pack or gun -alt left mouse click to equips it and you get spaces

[bold kernel]

its a scav

i dident know that my stash was full when i entered

[indigo fog]

do you knwo how to open the sorting table?

[blazing bay]

Put your gun in the sorting table and take off the grip

[indigo fog]

bag and rig build space

[kindred shell]

anyone got a dorm 114 key for the briefcase quest?

[blazing bay]

If it has a mag take it off too

[kind fractal]

is this the good kiba key?

[merry dust]

Get out with it anyways

kiba is nice

[kindred shell]

i just got that key

what is it for?

[merry dust]

you also have 10 .338 ap

[kind fractal]

lmao first raid of the wipe

i know

[merry dust]

1/2 keys for a gun store on interchange

Thermals etc

[kind fractal]

yea

[merry dust]

High tier weapon attachments

[kindred shell]

ahh cool

[bold kernel]

thanks boys

[kind fractal]

i didnt remember if it was one key or 2

[kindred shell]

ive never done interchange

[bold kernel]

👍

[kindred shell]

but ill add the key to my collection

i have a bunch of resort keys but no 114

[surreal wedge]

What ergo is acceptable on a long barrel mk47?

[kind fractal]

i got out

might start playing this game again

[merry dust]

45+

[merry dust]

I already quit

[kind fractal]

lol

[bold kernel]

for good?

[merry dust]

nah

still have it installed

but I don’t play

I’ll be gone soon tho

I don’t plan on next wipe

[kind fractal]

i played a ton last wipe but never really reached the chad stage and i kinda got upset and quit

[bold kernel]

i don’t blame u, idk how i feel about the game either

[merry dust]

Inertia what not

[bold kernel]

i’ll check out lighthouse tho

[merry dust]

Fosho

[bold kernel]

don’t leave without forgetting to say bye either

Hey any one here a beginner

?

That needs help

Like need meds or a gun just @ me i got allot im willing to give

[honest shore]

What do you lose in a wipe? Hideout, money, skills, inventory?

[teal patrol]

everything

[honest shore]

Even things like stash size you worked so hard for?

[teal patrol]

yes everything

[brittle canyon]

everything

[honest shore]

Ok thanks. And if you have the edge of darkness I assume you keep it?

[teal patrol]

yes

[honest shore]

Ok thanks.

And what is the best way to sell to vendors? Just sell a gun or take off all attachments first and sell those seperate?

[bold kernel]

is this red card worth something just found it but i dont have the trading thing yet

this guy

[rain tundra]

Worth alot

Most expensive key lol

[bold kernel]

mans trolling XD?

[bold kernel]

what do you mean by a lot?

[versed falcon]

Guns to Mechanic until you reach the Lvl 2 threshold, general wares to Therapist, Sell the rest to Skier and Peacekeeper when you can to get their dollar thresholds met

[bold kernel]

gets the best item in the game

[rain tundra]

Most expensive key

In game

Currently

[bold kernel]

holy fuck

[rain tundra]

40-50mil

[bold kernel]

"iS iT wOrTh aNyThInG"

[rain tundra]

Or lots of barters mainly

To avoid fee

[bold kernel]

oh shit

[versed falcon]

yes

keep it and DO NOT BRING INTO RAID

[bold kernel]

you wont be able to sell it for a while tho

[versed falcon]

otherwise you cant sell it

[rain tundra]

Just wait till you get flea

[bold kernel]

cause of the fee

[rain tundra]

Well yes

That's the point of barters

[bold kernel]

yeah but this late not many people will still have fir thiccs

and willing to trade for a red

[honest shore]

Yeah but should I be selling gun attachments seperately or are they accounted for when selling a gun?

[versed falcon]

you used to be able to sell your attachments to skier for higher price than mechanic, so the meta was to disassemble your gun and part it out, but now Mechanic gives you the most

which is dumb

I could be wrong though

idk what skier gives you the most for anymore

[honest shore]

I've had higher prices from him sometimes, but I haven't been taking apart guns so I was wondering if I was losing money

[bold kernel]

wtf therapist is only giving me 50k for my red card XD

[versed falcon]

DONTDONTDONTDONT

[bold kernel]

no im not gonna do i

it*

[versed falcon]

jesus lmao

gave us a heart attack

[honest shore]

As a noob I had little reaction besides 50k is a lot

[bold kernel]

bro im so fucking bad at this game cant even finish tasks but i get red card XD

[versed falcon]

it aint 40 mill

you need an escort?

I got time

[honest shore]

How do you know you can trust randoms on this discord anyways? Will people play with you so they can shoot you in the back for your loot and leave the call?

[bold kernel]

If they do u clip it then they get banned from the server

[bold kernel]

it happens rarely but you can get them banned if you have video evidence

[honest shore]

Ah, so it isn't "The Division" style where that is actually encouraged.

[bold kernel]

i haven’t gotten teamkilled yet, met a lot of cool people

[honest shore]

Neat, I'm sure I'd TK but it wouldn't be intentional lol

[bold kernel]

ive been teamkilled once

[bold kernel]

“is that you, is that you?”

[honest shore]

"Was that you*" lol

[bold kernel]

[bold kernel]

on purpose?

ye ive been teamkilled tons of times on accident

but only once was it a discord TKer

[honest shore]

Is there a penalty in game for TKing?

[bold kernel]

he got banned eventually tho so all was right with the world

[bold kernel]

nice

[bold kernel]

yeah you get your friends loot

its a good penalty

[honest shore]

The definition of penalty is bad lol, you're thinking of consequence

[bold kernel]

nah but fr, if you ever do it, make sure you dump your teammates stuff in a bush

or bring it back for them next raid

[honest shore]

Unless they didn't insure it, in which case you owe it to them to bring it back or pay them back I'd imagine

[bold kernel]

i mean i guess it depends on the person

if i didnt insure my stuff, i think its fair game for my teammates

[versed falcon]

yup

if you dont insure, its on you

[honest shore]

Unless they tked you

[versed falcon]

teamkilling is just a part of the game

[honest shore]

Then its on them

[bold kernel]

if its on accident then its fine

but if they did it on purpose i dont think im getting it back anyway lol

[honest shore]

If its not on accident then they aren't tossing your stuff in bushes for you lol

[versed falcon]

correct

[bold kernel]

you'd be surprised at how easily accidental tks can happen

unless its a squad thats used to playing w each other or have good comms

[honest shore]

What missions should I try to get done first? I haven't messed with them yet. I was thinking of going straight for compass

[bold kernel]

what is that

is it the pocketwatch

[honest shore]

I wouldn't be suprised, but if you do it and its your fault then it shouldn't be free for grabs just because they didn't insure.

[honest shore]

Its a compass...

Not sure how to answer the question, I might misunderstand it

[bold kernel]

yeah true but a lot of higher levelled players dont really care enough about one set of gear for you to carry it thru raid and bring it back

plus you might die with it anyway on your way to exfil

[honest shore]

Yeah, but you should try and if you die trying to exfil pay them back.

[bold kernel]

like if i gear up and dont insure, im going in with the mentality that im fine with losing my gear

[unique steeple]

its alright like 10k roubles, slide me that shit n ill give u 20k

[bold kernel]

if i dont wanna lose it, i insure it

[honest shore]

I go into it with the mentality that I should not die.

[bold kernel]

cause then i know i can ask my peeps to chuck my stuff in a bush

nah dying is a part of the game

if you get too attached to gear, youll get gear fear

[honest shore]

I've died twice so far, never on my PMC with about 10 runs so far.

[bold kernel]

thats pretty good for a new player

it took me like 15 raids until i survived my first one

[honest shore]

Well I died with PMC once going in with a saiga 9 and nothing else good lol

I barely play PMC (About 1 in 3 games minimum) any, and I've been pretty lucky getting some games where I don't even see scavs

[bold kernel]

sure man XD

[bold kernel]

play ur pmc more, made this mistake when i started

yeah scavving is good to make some money if youre broke or lost too much but youll start getting more scared on your pmc

[honest shore]

I've been playing scav to get rigs and backpacks, so I can play losable kits on my PMC. At least that's my theory

[bold kernel]

every kit in tarkov is losable

[honest shore]

I think losing all my M4s right now wouldn't be good

[bold kernel]

nah M4s are trash unless you spend 100 to 200k modding them anyway

[honest shore]

Yeah, but they're the only full auto things I got right now that are decent

Otherwise I only have the bolt action shotgun. And an SVDS which I'd imagine is good too

[bold kernel]

i used to run the sks and AKs pre-flea

the sks is a beast

[honest shore]

I have only found one AK so far, and its an AKS-74U I think.

[bold kernel]

also take advantage of the mp5 barter w peacekeeper

dope smg with decent ammo

[honest shore]

Oh I do have the 2 MP5s now too, but I thought they weren't very good. 9mm has little pen.

[zinc canopy]

its good for headeyesing people

not as good this late into wipe

[honest shore]

How long until the next wipe? Feels pointless upgrading my hideout and everything if I'm going to lose it all shortly

[bold kernel]

its my second favorite smg

[versed falcon]

if youre new to the game dont bother with hideout at this point

focus on quest familiarization

[honest shore]

How long do I have until wipe?

[bold kernel]

like a month

[honest shore]

And people said I lose everything, so I assume that means levels too.

[bold kernel]

yeah focus on learning the most rn

[zinc canopy]

probably around a month no official information yet

[honest shore]

OK I'll get learning the maps better then.

[zinc canopy]

learn customs and woods first

[high glacier]

how easy is it to learn labs?

i wanna learn it but everyone says there are lots of hackers

[honest shore]

Those are what I've been playing. I have a much better grasp on Woods despite playing customs more

And with a compass I'm sure I could navigate both pretty easy with the map. Only issue is when the sun is blocked by clouds everywhere so I can't use the sun for navigation.

[zinc canopy]

in my experience there arent alot of hackers kinda depends on what servers you play. i find one once a month usually

[zinc canopy]

almost nobody actually uses the compass and they just memorize the layout of the map.

[versed falcon]

note to self: ask if the player you're helping is from a different continent lmao

[honest shore]

Yeah, but it would be easier to memorize the map and get to exfils if I had a compass

[versed falcon]

not really, I memorized the maps without it

[bold kernel]

nah the compass is rarely helpful

[versed falcon]

only map you REALLY need the compass is woods

[bold kernel]

customs just learn the landmarks

[zinc canopy]

tbh i learned most the maps before the compass was even added so i cant say for sure

[bold kernel]

woods just navigate using the mountain

[versed falcon]

correct

find landmarks then youre good

[bold kernel]

also if you do scav, use it to learn interchange

[honest shore]

I see streamers spawn and look at a bush and go "good spawn I can run 10 meters this way to get good loot and then turn at a bearing of 69 (nice) to get to a hotspot where I can kill noob #349 and steal his SKS, then I go to exfil while looting everything imaginable"

[bold kernel]

its a game changer. using the scav to learn the map and it has great loot

then you can do pmc runs confidently on it and make ez roubles

[bold kernel]

noob#349

[versed falcon]

keep in mind streamers play this game for 8 hours a day lol

they know every scrap of dirt in Interchange by now

[honest shore]

Indeed. Any DLC out for the game yet?

[versed falcon]

no, next big map is Streets of Tarkov

and hopefully inertia changes

[bold kernel]

isnt next map lighthouse

[versed falcon]

no

[bold kernel]

and inertia comes with it

thats what they said on the podcast right

[versed falcon]

they haven't said anything about lighthouse to my knowledge

but we have playtests of Streets

[brittle canyon]

lighthouse is next

[bold kernel]

they did right

[bold kernel]

next map is lighthouse

[versed falcon]

so when is streets?

[bold kernel]

streets will only be on full release next year

[versed falcon]

I havent seen anything about lighthouse

[bold kernel]

next wipe is probably last wipe

[brittle canyon]

streets is a vaporware

[bold kernel]

and they release mid 2022 or so

[honest shore]

Last wipe? Ever? Seems like a good time to get into the game rn lol

[bold kernel]

nah there will still be wipe servers on the full release

[versed falcon]

as there should be lol

[bold kernel]

but next wipe is supposed to be last wipe as a beta gane

game*

[honest shore]

Makes sense. But maybe there will never be a full release?

[brittle canyon]

lol I’ll believe it when I see it

[honest shore]

It will stay in beta forever?

[versed falcon]

if they get inertia right it'll change gunplay so good

[bold kernel]

im more hyped for VOIP

[versed falcon]

SAME

[honest shore]

I was suprised when I found out it didn't exist

[bold kernel]

no nikita said that it was supposed to release this year but covid messed up their team and work so they pushed it back to next year

[honest shore]

Proxitmity chat seems like a no brainer for this game.

[versed falcon]

gonna get yelled at by some guy in Chinese as he rushes me with a Toz

[bold kernel]

and he said it will release next year, even if its not as finished as he wants it to be

and then update it later

[honest shore]

How is the TKM btw? I have one with a decent scope

[bold kernel]

so streets could technically not come on game release

[versed falcon]

the what

[bold kernel]

can't wait for some chad to gun me down with Carti playing on blast

[versed falcon]

Russian national athem plays before 5 Chads bust down the door to dorms

[honest shore]

It is a bolt action rifle in .366

[bold kernel]

lmfaoo

[versed falcon]

oh the squirrel gun

[honest shore]

VPO-215

Is it sell material then?

[bold kernel]

it sucks

[versed falcon]

kinda sorta

[bold kernel]

i recommend not using anything in .366

[versed falcon]

its nice for scavs if you aim for flesh

[honest shore]

I was so excited to get it with the nice scope on it lol

[versed falcon]

bout it

scope is nice to keep

[bold kernel]

the other vpo is alright if you mod it and use ap rounds

[versed falcon]

good luck getting AP without flea

[bold kernel]

yeah true

btw im about to help a new player make money on interchange. Im not the best so does anybody experienced wanna tag along

NAE

[daring karma]

Hey guys, I've been playing for about a week now. I'm almost level 15 but its been quiet a slow process, I average about 1-2k xp a raid on my PMC. Are there any better ways of getting xp? I've tried to get some tasks done but I feel like it's impossible trying to do them alone

[bold kernel]

rushing tasks is the easiest way to get to flea

[versed falcon]

what continent are you on lol

[bold kernel]

a lot of the beginner quests are just picking stuff up from places and putting stuff in places

[versed falcon]

so is playing Factory to kill scavs

[daring karma]

yeah I figured, I'm just stuck on them right now

[bold kernel]

just get a squad and run tasks

[bold kernel]

nah id say beginner tasks are faster

[bold kernel]

it used to be 20, thats what i had to grind for

[versed falcon]

its a combo of both

[daring karma]

I know what I need to do, checking tarkov wiki but I'm always getting gunned down by guys with super loadouts

[bold kernel]

North America

[versed falcon]

I grinded the remainder of my levels just playing factory over and over

10 scavs is like 5k xp

[daring karma]

plus I'm still trying to learn maps, spawns etc

[versed falcon]

what VC

[daring karma]

so it's really difficult getting them done, especially without losing a lot of gear in the process 😢

[versed falcon]

use scavs to learn maps

[bold kernel]

Just got to move smarter and learn like routes so avoid players

[versed falcon]

specially now that scav karma is a thing and you can loot and walk around with relative safety

[sullen owl]

@honest shore I just dinked 4 scavs in the head with the bolt .366. Not terrible but need headshots for any type of results

[bold kernel]

@versed falcon 4 man squad #7

[versed falcon]

ty

[daring karma]

one quest I have to go to the directors office to get something to then stash it in factory, but whenever I go there in customs there are always people camping the spot

it's so irritating

[honest shore]

How do people avoid dying to scavs? They act like they are the weakest things but sometimes they will kill me out of nowhere first shot. I know its a scav because it was offline mode too. Not a player

[gilded sorrel]

peek very cautiously

[bold kernel]

Has to do with rep

[gilded sorrel]

and also make sure to hit your shots

if you hit them with your first bullet, they have less chance to kill you

[versed falcon]

wiggle

[gilded sorrel]

not even saying that as a backhand

[honest shore]

Yeah well this guy killed my across a field when I was behind cover lol. Before I fired a shot at him.

[versed falcon]

do your best to avoid others

[honest shore]

He nailed me right over a garbage bin

[versed falcon]

yeah thats happened to me too

[honest shore]

And they shoot right through concealment easily

[versed falcon]

scavs randomly doming me

[bold kernel]

have u ever met the raiders?

[gilded anvil]

ayy i found a slick off some dead pmc should i just sell it?

[honest shore]

I don't know what that is so probably not

[bold kernel]

I think raiders are scarier than any player ive fought

[bold kernel]

whats the dur?

[versed falcon]

thats lvl 6 my guy

keep that shit

[gilded anvil]

It's a 79 dur but I fell like I'm just gonna get one tapped with it on

[empty basin]

can someone help my pcs not booting right

[junior talon]

can someone help me with quest

pocket watch quest

[charred spindle]

can someone help me do the factory toolkit mission

[hot ermine]

idk if im just stoopid but i get error code 1507 whenever i try to do mechanics bitcoin barter deal

it also says "offer was sold"

[spice gate]

Hey I am kind of new to the game and I'm trying to reach lvl 15 for flea, I'm currently 8 so any help would be appreciated, thanks

[verbal lava]

Can anyone help me with learning interchange. If you want to help message me

[zinc canopy]

It’s a bug

[hot ermine]

hecc

i already got 2 tetriz from a scav run so i thot i could buy some greenbats from market and make profit

[zinc canopy]

Do some offline raids to learn the layout and most people call the stores by there name so there aren’t many callouts that are hard to remember

[hot ermine]

rip my mmone

[versed falcon]

quests, factory runs where you kills scavs

ez xp

[hot ermine]

i found that buying a bunch of keys for reserve and running in with nothing and hoping to kill a scav is a pretty good way to get xp and moners on a budget

[daring karma]

hey! I'm new also, wanna play together?

[dusty thicket]

how do i find where im at when i spawn? just bought the game

[honest shore]

Do squads just go in against singles? So I could be going against a 5 stack? Just went against two where I nailed the first guy and then the second had better gear to a magdump of 5.56 didn't kill him.

[honest shore]

Map and landmarks

That's my first PMC death with actual loot and its because I'm a noob going against whole squads.

[torpid fractal]

welcome to tarkov

[bold kernel]

yeah, any team against anyone

[honest shore]

And now I just lost because I sniper 0ed my leg and stomach, and my first aid kits wouldn't do anything. 😢

[bold kernel]

you need a CMS or a SURV 12 in order to fix a zeroed limb

except the head and thorax

[honest shore]

Head or thorax means you're dead

I killed the sniper but couldn't find out where I was, and wouldn't make it to exfil anyways.

Can someone tell me where this is? I appear here often but am always lost. Its on Customs

And then I also find myself along a pipeline on a road, with a green walled in area. Where is that?

[random cypress]

Do face coverings and eyewear do anything?

[honest shore]

Eyewear can help resist shrapnel, light penetration projectiles like buckshot, and disoreinting effects like flashbangs. Face coverings may help with protection, but often they just change your appearance so you blend in with the environment better.

[versed falcon]

eyewear will only block shrapnel if it says it will

like Condor's

face coverings are just for looks

[random cypress]

Thank you.

[brittle canyon]

you should have some sort of balaclava to conceal your face

[random cypress]

Why?

[versed falcon]

makes you harder to spot if youre concealing

[honest shore]

How in the world do I not die to bleeding? I applied a tourniquet and it just ate it up and I bled out anyways?

[versed falcon]

might have been another bleed

[honest shore]

I did originally yup. I spawned with a great scav and then another scav just up and shot me.

[versed falcon]

also if you bleed your head or torso to zero then take ANY damage you will die

[honest shore]

(After I killed his buddy because he scared me)

How was I even supposed to know he was a scav? He came aiming at me with eyewear and a helmet on...

[versed falcon]

one sec

[hot ermine]

do graphics card in bitcoin farms degrade?\

[versed falcon]

so short answer is you really cant know, best thing you can do is just avoid other scavs as best you can. offer a wiggle if you have to confront one as a sign of peace, but always be ready to shoot if they try to draw on ya

[rich rose]

is there a mag for the sr-25 that doesnt cost 30k roubles?

[pure talon]

no

anyone's new (level ~15) and struggling with rubbles?

[pure talon]

let me put it that way - would you rather save 10k and die because you run out of bullets?

[rich rose]

i died cause i ran out of bullets

but i had the 20 round mag

i just decided not to swap mags when it was "about half" because it was my one mag filled with m61

[surreal scarab]

yo does anyone know a loot santa

[serene adder]

face cover makes your face stand out less, eyewear makes you not have rain drop effect plus it protects vs flashbangs better

[honest shore]

Can someone help me exfil?

[pure talon]

don't worry, it's pretty typical rookie mistake to cheap out on ammo or mags
try to get your loadout balanced over the board, and get too frustrated if you die with a cheap loadout

[honest shore]

I'm in the second to last BA VC

[pure talon]

check mapgenie and practice offline raids if you struggle with exfils

pesitly also has outstanding tutorials on maps

[honest shore]

No need. I ran into a scav and a point blank magdump got me killed 3 feet from exfil.

[random citrus]

a

[honest shore]

I mag dumped the MP5 right into his back and he didn't die. What a trash gun.

[bold kernel]

it’s not the gun, what ammo were you using

[elfin elm]

if it was the starting ammo

[honest shore]

pst gzh

[elfin elm]

yep, starting ammo

low penatration on most armors

[pure talon]

guns doesn't matter in tarkov, it's all about the ammo

[elfin elm]

works fine against most helmets though

[random citrus]

always aim for the head

[honest shore]

I killed several scavs with it earlier in, but a scav literally standing in the doorway of extract had armor that it apparently couldn't go through.

That's 4 deaths in a row now.

[elfin elm]

big oof

[honest shore]

Only one to a pmc

[pure talon]

@honest shore mp5 can be pretty devastating if you use pbp https://tarkov-tools.com/ammo/9x19 mm

[elfin elm]

scavs can spawn with up to lvl 4 armor

[honest shore]

And I hit my desk so I'm bleeding a lil.

[elfin elm]

pst has 20 pen

big oof

[elfin elm]

that a kind of hard to read chart

well, not super hard to read

[pure talon]

🙂

[elfin elm]

but I guess it's persobnal preference which version you like using

[pure talon]

bottom line is that for every caliber there's only two types of ammo, the best and the second best

[elfin elm]

I've always liked eft.monster

[honest shore]

I've played the map a lot, but half the exfils I went to weren't open even though it said they were. They were ???

[elfin elm]

not really

[elfin elm]

you are given a list of options you could use

that doesn't mean they'll actually be there

there's a couple you always have that are garratees

[honest shore]

I went straight from exfil to exfil and all of them were closed until I finally wandered through the dark (Sun had set) into the right place. Only to die at the last second.

[elfin elm]

and a bunch that are situational

are you using a map?

[honest shore]

How situational? I had Old Gas Station and Dorms V-ex ??? closed

[honest shore]

Yes

[elfin elm]

dorms is one time use, when the car is there

old gas is open when the green smoke is outside the door

[honest shore]

I didn't have money anyways

[elfin elm]

makes sense

generally you'll always have either zb-1011 or crossroads

those are always open

unless you're scav running

I have trouble translating the map into actual use. I know trainyard, but too many landmarks are repetitive for me to actually translate it when I'm in most areas.

not really 🙂
when you're playing as a pmc you should always assume that your enemies are wearing class 4 or higher, this late into the wipe, i'd assume class 5 or 6 (40/60%) and use ammo accordingly
that means that for every caliber you have the best option in slot, budget alternative or, in certain calibers, a leg meta ammo, which is completely different story

And I just realized I was at New gas instead of Old gas.

what about flesh rounds? or rounds good enough to go through helmets on a laser gun?

[pure talon]

don't worry, it comes with time

[honest shore]

So what guns should I use at low level that scavs won't eat up?

[pure talon]

use your scav runs as well to get yourself familiarized with maps

MP5 was going really well until it wasn't

[elfin elm]

sks, makarov, and vpo 7.62

or mosin

well

[honest shore]

I don't have any of those

[pure talon]

that's the so called "leg meta", if you can't penetrate the armor the flesh dmg doesn't matter

all are lvl 1 traders

Ah, so I have to buy my loadouts. I wanted to save roubles not spend them

[elfin elm]

you said "bottom line is that for every caliber there's only two types of ammo, the best and the second best"

not "there's only two rounds that penetrate"

[elfin elm]

what guns do you have?

[pure talon]

that's what i meant

[honest shore]

M4 and MP5 rn. I've lost everything else these last 4 games.

[elfin elm]

mp5, aim for heads

m4 is okay, but needs mods
