you're endgame is scav case, btc farm and moonshine factory

you're endgame is scav case, btc farm and moonshine factory
though at this point in wipe, I'd say you could stop BTC lvl 1 and skip moonshine and scav

surreal scarab
its total chaos of makarovs and rats
elfin elm
it's great
valid cloak
Oh okay cool. Best to get the playtime in now when its so late in the wipe then. And oh jeez so really is just opening the game for the first time kind of deal
surreal scarab
im in my first wipe but it sounds really fun
elfin elm
the no lifers pave the way

Thats all games though to be fair
elfin elm
and everybody else scrapes around just behind

It will definately be cool to see the different dynamic
pure talon
Oh okay cool. Best to get the playtime in now when its so late in the wipe then....
it's the worst and the best time to start playing, it's an uphill battle that's hard to won, but you're not risking anything and it's a great exercise before the next wipe
surreal scarab
and prices will be way different on flea then they are now
elfin elm
is good early wipe

Found my first Level 6 piece of armor today, turns out. Pretty good lol. So i can see why sometimes bullets just get ate now

elfin elm
depending, but yeah usually

can't be arsed to look for the video rn, but someone did a test, and if you're using ak with ps ammo vs lvl 6 it takes 20-ish hits to the the chest to kill someone, while if you they're using bs and you're using lvl 4 it only takes 3-4 hits to kill
surreal scarab
u will die more and not get the extract multiplier
elfin elm
knowing how not to get stuck in an engagement is probably better than getting your head stuck in pvp as your only solution
surreal scarab
u get 1.5 xp just for escaping
valid cloak
Oh its that big a diff. And to be fair, I was avoiding fights best I could
And then my stash got too full
surreal scarab
stack backpacks too
honest shore
Just went to passage between rocks and it wouldn't even extract me bruh...
valid cloak
See, the thing right now is
surreal scarab
if you have more then 1 backpack taking up a slot then your wasting storage
pure talon
then you sell, or focus on containers
containers are the way to go

I am not great if I do get into a fight

"I have too much shit, so I'm going to lose this on purpose" is a bad mentality
both wasteful and backwards

customs
honest shore
Customs is better for noobies I've heard. Just for tasks
honest shore
Can you do tasks on scavs?
valid cloak
So you dont think that firefight exp is worth it at this point? Rather just stick to the not fighting and selling and hording stuff and just selling stuff? My thought was that since its not long til wipe. Why not try and get some fights in and try to get better with for when I do need to fight in the future.
pure talon
on customs you can (a) quickly check rashala spawns for leftovers (b) grab the loot from stronghold or usec and (c) extract within 5-10 minutes

all those loot spots are situational and can get you killed easily
especially as a newer player
caches are almost always consistent, fast, and straight forward
honest shore
At least now I know how to clear out my stash. I was running out of room, not an issue anymore.
elfin elm
so easier for new guys
elfin elm
I mean that's very safe
but time consuming
it takes you over 20 minutes usually to cross woods to get the like 10 caches
surreal scarab
also tru
elfin elm
if you like woods
that's perfectly fine
but if you want simple and easy
interchange
surreal scarab
woods also doesnt have the most landmarks
it can get confusing
thats why i dont run it
honest shore
How do I get special equipment?
elfin elm
wdym?
honest shore
I want to craft a workbench and the leatherman multitool is special equipment
honest shore
Thanks.
elfin elm
it's only fully lit by 6 though
surreal scarab
5 is barely dawn
elfin elm
yep
surreal scarab
5:45 and up for light is best
honest shore
How does the time translate into game-time? For instance going in at 16:00, what time will it be in 25 real minutes?
elfin elm
I believe it's 2 hours pass in a riad
let me check
"If you plan to spend 30 minutes in a map, appoximately 2.5 ingame hours will pass"
surreal scarab
but you should never be there that long
elfin elm
30 minutes raids are fine
surreal scarab
most raids are like 10-20 mins
surreal scarab
tru if 30 minutes means a ton of loot
surreal scarab
tru
honest shore
Well I've been looting and going straight to extract, but even with 10 minutes I can't find exfil immediately if its a new one.
surreal scarab
remember that the longer your in a raid the more scavs that spawn on the map as well
elfin elm
offline raid to find the extracts ahead of time
surreal scarab
so if youve been in a raid for a while then be alert for scavs
pure talon
all those loot spots are situational and can get you killed easily
sure, you need to know when to avoid certain spots, but since tarkov can't handle multitude of players on a server, when you spawn as a scav, most pmc are already gone
honest shore
I've been offline, but running aruond for 2 hours to think I know where an exfil is doesn't help.
elfin elm

well if you're new
then you don't have that knowledge
pure talon
i can't post screenshots on this channel
but i would show you back-to-back scav runs with 1m+ loot on customs
elfin elm
you can't use a handful of runs as your data sheet
rng loot is rng
unless you have like 50-100+ runs of data
surreal scarab
yeah like my resort runs are usually 50,000-300,000 but sometimes they are 1.5 mil
elfin elm
and my cache runs are less than 15 minutes and start at around 200k
and go to almost 2 mil sometimes
pure talon
unless you have like 50-100+ runs of data
i do
elfin elm
then you've limited both your tarkov experience and possible loot
but again
that's not the point
new player should cache run
pure talon
which other map i can get 600k+ loot on average, in 5-10 minutes, while maintaining ~80% sr?
pure talon
route to extract is too long on interchange compared to customs
elfin elm
not really?
pure talon
on customs, unless you have extremely bad spawn, if you have a keycard or moonshine, and you're desperate for money, you can extract within 2 minutes
not a thing on interchange
zinc canopy
Shoreline cashes are great for scavs
elfin elm
yeah it is
idk how lost you seem to be on interchange but it rarely takes me more than that if I have a juiced spawn
like a moonshine or something
pure talon
like i said, it's 3rd wipe when i'm doing t-7 giveaways, and it's taking me 2-3 days of casual scaving to farm 20m
pure talon
sure, but it's easiest in my opinion, you just have to learn how to distinguish crazy scavs from actual fights
pure talon
interchange has some loot, woods has a lot of loot but it's too big, same for reserve
elfin elm
interchange is a box
with 2 extracts
that's why it's good for new players
sure you can do more profit
but that was never the entire point
sharp field
hi
pure talon
@elfin elm look https://youtu.be/AdVhFV_ZTWo, customs is not served on a silver platter, but compared to other maps it has 2 advantages - (a) you can almost completely negate interactions with other players (pmcs/scavs) and (b) you can finish your raid within 5 minutes with a decent loot (400k+)
elfin elm
well you can do both of those on just about every map
so I'd call taht game knowledge
not a map advantage
elfin elm
i need help
anything specific?
sharp field
get better llot be better at the game aiming and finding extraction
cuz i keep dying most of the time
pure talon
well you can do both of those on just about every map
care to share a vid where you get a 400k+ loot on interchange and extract within 5 minutes?
elfin elm
get better llot be better at the game aiming and finding extraction
so when you start a pmc run you can turn on "offline mode" and you don't lose anything on death
sharp field
mostly i extracted when im scav at factory cuz its small
elfin elm
good for practice
random citrus

yes
elfin elm

honest shore

gun durability affects accuracy
but also yes, some weapons are just more accurate
honest shore
Well I'm not sure how damaged it was, but at 50m (at the most) sending 10 shots down range one outta hit eventually.
crisp nest
If it's a scav weapon it's inaccurate
honest shore
It was a scav weapon.
elfin elm
yeah, if you got it off a scav it's almost alwayws damaged
honest shore
My MP5 was low on ammo and I wanted to save it for close range
elfin elm
usually a solid choice
zinc canopy
I try my best to not engage scavs at range
elfin elm
unless you can snap a shot without them knowing
honest shore
If their guns are so accurate why do they nail every shot?
honest shore
Finally a game where I didn't die, and I got an SKS with a scope. Amongst other things.
honest shore
Yeah, I tested the map for probably 1-2 hours in offline.
But there's no confirmation of where you are so it didn't help.
elfin elm
you got any landmarks down?
honest shore
I figured out trainyard, Silos (which I originally thought was gas containers which messed me up a lot), old and new gas, and dorms. The middle of the map is still a jumble

wdym middle?
like fortress?
honest shore
Yeah
merry dust
That’s the easiest part to me
honest shore
Fortress, skeleton, storage, I don't know exactly which buildings are which
honest shore
Storage is by warehouse 4, which I now know pretty well.
honest shore
On my map its labelled warehouse 4
elfin elm
use the tarkov .io
merry dust
that’s an actual extract
honest shore
Its South of Old gas below the train pileup
elfin elm
best one around
merry dust
Its South of Old gas below the train pileup
that’s power building
honest shore
that’s power building
Yes, although I didn't know that there was a power switch until I just looked again
honest shore
? Why would it be like that?
elfin elm
where the toip of the map is north?
honest shore
Which way is North then?
merry dust
Devs fucked up on vodka
elfin elm
normally when looking at 3rd party maps they're all oriented the same
with top of the map being north
but I think customs has had the compass swapped like 4 times
by accident
in game
so currently top of map is south I think
honest shore
The map I was looking at and the mapgenie one are flipped.
With crossroads in the East on my normal one
elfin elm
map genie is the most comprehensive
it uses south as top of map I think
the important thing
is remembering landmarks relative to each other
then you can ignore the compass usually
does help though if you learn it at same time
cus then you can say "I went to your north east"
cus you know where shit is
honest shore
why did I just get sniped out of nowhere by nobody?! Nobody killed me on the end screen and I'm in the middle of the map!
Just random sniper then.
honest shore
But if a sniper scav kills me it says so
honest shore
Old gas station
honest shore
Yeah, I see it on the map. Why isn't there a sign?
honest shore
I was walking on the tracks, not a visible sign if I can't see it from the tracks...

elfin elm

I will agree that one specifically could be posted better
but there is signs for sure
honest shore
I've been up there before and seen the signs, that's why I assumed I wasn't going into it. There were no signs on the left of the train
elfin elm
left is relative to the direction you're looking
but I ccan assure you, both sides are marked
I've been there maybe a day
honest shore
Just went to the same spot with a scav, sniper started firing long before the sign
I got away, but interesting. You can't just go around the train

what are some beginner friendly maps that are easy to memorize??
zinc canopy
Honestly shoreline is easy to learn but I would suggest doing customs as a first map
elfin elm
what are some beginner friendly maps that are easy to memorize??
easy is relative, and it depends on what you're looking for
loot, safety, or stuff to get done
peak belfry
Mostly for quest and loot to be done
potent crater
customs has most early game quests
and it pretty basic
but my favorite is factory
super hard if you dont know what you arte doing but super small and pvp based
so easy to learn pvp on
elfin elm
again easy is relative
peak belfry
So Customs for quest and early game and if pvp factory, noted.
elfin elm
well you'll certainly get shot at a lot on factory
but idk if "pvp" is what I'd call it
if you don't always get to fight back
essentially factory has some spawn balancing issues that if you don't know about can get you fucked
like, seconds from spawn
whole thistle
what are some beginner friendly maps that are easy to memorize??
No maps are easy to memorize as your first one, just do customs since it's a good all around map
elfin elm
it's decent at most things
whole thistle
So Customs for quest and early game and if pvp factory, noted.
Don't pvp on factory until you're a level 48 with every quest done and 200 million rubles
It's so cringe

honest shore
Any advice for running shotguns?
honest shore
12 Guage buckshot any good?
elfin elm
so pellet wise most 12 gauge is good
but slug wise basically only ap-20 is worth it's salt
honest shore
Are shotguns a headshot or legshot gun?
elfin elm
depends
honest shore
I'd imagine any armor negates buckshot easily
elfin elm
most shotguns do at least 35 damage per epllet
so you can try to fish for heads with lots of pellets
or
you can black out a mans legs with one rounds
and 2-4 shot him through the flesh of what's left of his broken limbs
honest shore
And no legs is no good lol. For them
2-4 shots? I don't imagine I'd live long enough to do that
elfin elm
well 2-4
with a semi auto gun
while their screen is turning dirty red
is pretty achieveable
honest shore
Does pump or bolt action have any use?
elfin elm
stay away from the toz bolt shotgun for the most part
the pump shotguns aren't great
but they're hella fun
you really gotta peak shot with them though
of get cheaky angles
somber summit
Ks-23 "am i a joke to yoi"
random citrus
i just use shotguns for memez
elfin elm
I'd imagine any armor negates buckshot easily
so the run down is ap-20 is the best 12 slug, is fucks lvl 4 and below but struggles at anything higher usually still not aweful though
flechette is lower range, but works against any armor lvl
you can just chest shot people with it
and there's 3 pretty good pellet rounds
7mm has lower recoil
so easier to control
magnum has most damage, but more recoil
and express has an extra pellet
so is better for trying to fish for lucky heads
honest shore
Are other slugs any good with headshots?
elfin elm
any would work if you hit them in the face
with no faceshield
but unfortunately the next best "slug" for 12 gauge is only 26 pen
which is pretty bad
honest shore
Ok I figured. Slug to the head isn't feeling very good lol
indigo fog
non ap 20 slugs are pretty meh
elfin elm
you could try to leg somebody with a slug
cus they still do good damage
but it's harder to leg with slugs than pellets
so why bother?
indigo fog
ash 12 is basically a slug tho
honest shore
How do I get all this better ammo right now anyways? I've found very few, and sadly I died with it

honest shore
When should I be spending roubles? I haven't spent a dime yet, I'm just saving. Spend it on ammo and guns, anything else?
elfin elm
so unlock him. you get decent pellets
elfin elm

hallow island

elfin elm
random side note btw, if you're hella broke, toz leg meta is cheap af
hallow island
only type that costs like anything is ap-20 from flea
im talking about meta rounds
elfin elm
but not the easiest to pull off
indigo fog
im not talking about shells though lol
non shotgun ammo is lame tho....
elfin elm
only type that costs like anything is ap-20 from flea
flechette a little too
but still not much
hallow island
if you run shotguns ALL the time i dont understand how you can have fun in the game
same with any weapon at all
indigo fog
265- 300 per round is nothing
elfin elm
I mean
there's a lot of different guns that shoot the same bullets
and lots of different varients of bullets
hallow island
theres about
elfin elm

hallow island

hallow island

wary valley
always too late bruddah
elfin elm
returning player from 3 months ago - too late to start a new profile in this wip...
not really?
elfin elm
most of the starting quest spots aren't super high profile
indigo fog
dorms can be rough but other than that i dont get chadded much
elfin elm
whats an easy way to get all my items outta my scav junkbox lmao
sorting box
pop it open
wary valley
just control it?
pure elk
so i assume ill be good till i start hitting woods/reserve then?
elfin elm
so i assume ill be good till i start hitting woods/reserve then?
woods is fine
wary valley
customs has way more fkn action
elfin elm
woods is usually fine
reserves is still a rat heaven
so if you know how to rat
yuou can still survive
bold kernel
whats a good spot to find junk to fill up my scav box
bold kernel
alright
elfin elm
whats a good spot to find junk to fill up my scav box
aaaany warehouse in interchange
or just cache runs on any map
wary valley
bye bye
indigo fog
a good spawn with a scav can do it easy too just like power station to emercom
wary valley
why not
elfin elm
cus space?
wary valley
my inventory is empty
elfin elm
that's like no money though?
bold kernel
my inventory is empty
you could give one to me i need space
elfin elm
then do scav runs
wary valley
bruh
elfin elm
scav run then cach run then scav run
elfin elm
I mean I wouldn't
bold kernel
what level are you
red flame
Cache runners 
bold kernel
sheesh
bold kernel
im level 10 started like 2 weeks ago
elfin elm
you should be
wary valley
how
elfin elm
it's free money bro
indigo fog
how are you broke at 40?
wary valley
am i supposed to fkn craft when im broke
elfin elm
from random garbage you find lying around
it cost, like, 8k for a craft that profits you like 16k
wary valley
do you not understand that i used 1 mil kits every time i went to a million for fun
now u do
bold kernel
is this useful?
elfin elm
so you piss away money when you hgave two nichels to rub together
and complain about broke
wary valley
yep
elfin elm
is this useful?
yep
wary valley
not complaining its a state of mind
red flame
is it also fun for you to share with randoms you do this because no one you know actually cares
indigo fog
and dont seem to do it well if youre netting a loss...
wary valley
who?
elfin elm
exactly
red flame
indigo fog
lol he said who....
wary valley
i started running thermals man
elfin elm
is this useful?
did you find it in a raid?
wary valley
they suck the roubble out of u
bold kernel
yea
red flame
running thermals and that few dog tags is even worse.
elfin elm
?
bold kernel
is it "found in raid"
wait nvm
elfin elm
?
wary valley
i used to craft then i did a little kekw and runned my fuel out
bold kernel
i gave my found in raid flash drive to a friend
wary valley
which is dumb
indigo fog
found thermals on sniper scav in woods twice
elfin elm
i used to craft then i did a little kekw and runned my fuel out
then barter trade for more fuel
elfin elm
i gave my found in raid flash drive to a friend
what lvl are you?
wary valley
like
red flame
imagine being poor and also blocking people because ur feewies huwt
bold kernel
what lvl are you?
10
wary valley
i gave my found in raid flash drive to a friend
u do know shit is not fir when u go into a raid right?
or was it a in raid situation
elfin elm
10
if you get 3 of those you can barter trade for a dogtag case, which is useful, or profitable
your choice
at lvl 15 you can use flea market to get the other two
doesn't need to be FiR
bold kernel
ok
elfin elm
you say that buy you're broke
wary valley
but the thermal withdraw man im addicted
ok lemme break it down to u
i make a million off 2-3 woods runs
elfin elm
so far most of what you've said and chat has removed validation to most of your claims
wary valley
what are my claims
red flame
aight got rid of the pest
this
hallow island
i always have max big fuel tanks in my generator
anytime i run out i just scav inter and get 1 from oli almost every run
elfin elm
keep it buddy
elfin elm
you should be using it soon
indigo fog
i have fuel if anyone needs it
you will and you will need the empties eveen more early
bold kernel
im not gonna take the game seriously till next wipe
elfin elm
i dont use it
running your hideout crafts as often as possible once you have flea
is easy profit
bold kernel
im just learning the basics rn
wary valley
thnx for the ego
indigo fog
it makes containers
elfin elm
im just learning the basics rn
hideout management IS basics
bold kernel
like pvp nd gamesense
elfin elm
and have no hideout management and game skills
wary valley
anyway what were those claims?
red flame
anyway what were those claims?
how you get blacklisted from images
bold kernel
ive went labs 4 times in the past week and got shit on by rats
elfin elm
ive went labs 4 times in the past week and got shit on by rats
labs is not really a place you should run normally
wary valley
welp another one added to the list
elfin elm
it cost thousands of rubles to even go there
wary valley
don't need that negativity
bold kernel
labs is not really a place you should run normally
i just go cuz my friends like to go there
elfin elm
anything you said is negative
indigo fog
anyway what were those claims?
i mean you did say you use 1mil loadouts to have fun and lose them faster than you make money so.....thats pretty much what he said back and youre like "haters gonna hate"
elfin elm
you're just toxic spouting for fun
bold kernel
it cost thousands of rubles to even go there
plus i only go when i get a labs card from scav raids
elfin elm
plus i only go when i get a labs card from scav raids

wary valley

red flame
you're just toxic spouting for fun
you got blocked by him too, nice ✊
wary valley
i made money with em
wary valley
then sometimes u get tarkovd and its the end
bold kernel
then sell the card at lvl 15
got any tips for leveling up quicker
mellow flume
highly recommend saving high tier loot until you unlock Flea market youll really thank yourself later
wary valley
you lost *everything*
mhm
mellow flume
tasks is the best way
elfin elm
you get a 1,5 xp multiplier for surviving a raid
mellow flume
upgrading hideout too fast can run you dry
wary valley
point is
indigo fog
then sometimes u get tarkovd and its the end
im ass at this game and i cant immagine getting to the point where im so broke that i would sell containers
wary valley
fine
elfin elm
I've had 5k rubles
wary valley
wooohoo
wary valley
u won
elfin elm
and bounced back in about 15 minutes
wary valley
kinda empty man
elfin elm
do what you'd like
fallen cargo
willing to help peeps out whit the game you must be age 18+ im lvl 46 poke me
wary valley
it changed from when i used to run mosin woods all the time
elfin elm
my ruble count only goes down when I make an investment
bold kernel
i need one more broken LCD then imma trade for a night vision scope and rat woods
elfin elm
or headbash a task
wary valley

elfin elm
then it rebounds back
wary valley
u know
elfin elm
i need one more broken LCD then imma trade for a night vision scope and rat wood...
fun, but not exactly needed
but again
fun
wary valley
it all went downhill when i started the labs grind lmao
elfin elm
labs is lost money
bold kernel
never made it out of labs alive yet
elfin elm
you gotta work on your general game skills again if you can';t keep a steady balance
back to basics
labs fucked your game sense in the wrong direction
wary valley
probably
anyway ive gotten a little heated rn
time to go earn some roubbles see ya
elfin elm
labs rewards bad game habits tbh
wary valley
labs rewards bad game habits tbh
my rat self comes out in labs
elfin elm
like, 70% of the map is load surfaces that prevent sneaking great
so often it's camping and W keying
neither are the best strategy
elfin elm
sure buddy
wary valley
yup
elfin elm
that is actually just asking to lose gear
wary valley
for some reason this late wipe ive been impulsive
last wipe i woulda had a few mil stocked up and growing
wary valley
well
wary valley
i didn't lose the thicc in a day
wary valley
that fuck you money went to the stash
wary valley
oh I sold my FiR to flea
here is a difference
elfin elm
and then straight bought a new one
wary valley
i fkn scaved in with a FiR and tried to get some gear with it
elfin elm
see I have money
AND a fuck ton of cases
do you say you took your FiR thicc into a raid?
wary valley
nope
elfin elm
Found in raid thicc case
elfin elm
ah
wary valley
i meant like my lv 35 quest
elfin elm
guess you never finished the quest then
hallow island
i wouldnt really play labs unless you want to become a aggressive player
wary valley
then recently the labs life style gave me the bad habit of completely getting rid of my gear fear
