[remote kettle]

sold out server side but hasnt shown as sold out on your client, when you try to buy it checks with server if its available, when its not it gives you that error

[narrow gull]

it's a bug where offers that are sold out appear as not sold out in traders screen

[quartz hare]

I have never watched or played this game before, is is there anyone that anyone would recommend watching as a beginner?

[narrow gull]

pestily raid101 and raid series
vox_E has some specific guides
i suggest not to watch something like landmark because he doesn't really aim to have educational content from what i've seen

[quartz hare]

thank you

[tough oyster]

hows my tan man setup?

[narrow gull]

there's also gigabeef for gun setups if you struggle with modding

from what i've seen his builds are not half bad

[remote kettle]

use MDR so you can have tan mag

and the tan shemagh

[primal breach]

is tarkov back

[remote kettle]

wdym

[primal breach]

there was maintenance

bruh

i just saw

it's for the website

lmao

[tough oyster]

should i swap the grip and stock for better ergo?

this is the lowest recoil m1a while going supressed

[primal breach]

i don't care about ergo

if it's above 30, it's fine

[remote kettle]

im the opposite with dmrs

recoil is less of a concern and ergo is more

also im pretty sure thers a tan specter which i prefer (idk if you do but the option is there)

[solid agate]

Is m1a good

Or is just basically like a 762 dmr

[remote kettle]

m1a is hella good

[primal breach]

ive never used m1a

[bold kernel]

whats the best area at factory to do flash quest

[unique steeple]

anywhere

[bold kernel]

it doesnt have 100 meter radius to use it in open area

[unique steeple]

what

[brittle canyon]

bring ks and mp7

[bold kernel]

in the middle of the map

[brittle canyon]

flash your victim

[bold kernel]

cant use it there

[unique steeple]

yes u can lol

[bold kernel]

ok

so flash has that long range

zvezda round

[unique steeple]

the max distance ur gonna see someone in factory is 30m and average fight distance is less than 10m

[unique steeple]

its not open area

[brittle canyon]

the flash isn’t effective if you’re too far away

[unique steeple]

if u play smart and dont charge down the long hallways ur fine

everywhere else is good

[bold kernel]

tf just killed one while he was flashed and it didnt count

[unique steeple]

and this counts for everything not only ks

[unique steeple]

probably not fully flashed

[bold kernel]

oh

bruh moment

so being flashed status effect alone isnt enough, his whole screen must be black?

[brittle canyon]

it should be enough

but it sometimes doesn’t work

[bold kernel]

ok brought mp7 with fmj

[unique steeple]

nice

subsonic would work as well

[bold kernel]

ok i used zvezda this time at like 5 meter range? and he wasnt blinded at all

[unique steeple]

u got a clip

[bold kernel]

no but it was here

i spawned in that cursed spawn room, rushed to the guy

maybe its not 5 meters idk

[unique steeple]

do u hipfire?

aim for the eyes

[bold kernel]

oh

i did not ads

[brittle canyon]

? I didn't and it worked for me

[unique steeple]

it works

[brittle canyon]

but you gotta be right up his nose

[unique steeple]

but its better with ads

it has pretty surprising range if u ads and aim for eyes in my experience

@bold kernelare u eu

[bold kernel]

ye

[remote kettle]

ks 23 with first shell flash then shrap 10

ez win

[blazing bay]

ks 23 is so op

[somber rain]

honestly

chad annihilator

[valid sapphire]

guys

how to deal with chads

I got the game a few weeks ago and I already made 3 mil and have 3 mil in gear

[somber rain]

just leg meta tf outta them

dont go all out on expensive ammo

spray them in the fucking legs with the highest flesh damage rounds

[valid sapphire]

I have around 50 hrs (about 25 sitting in my hideout and being too afraid to start a new raid because of gear fear) and am lv 10

but damn

[somber rain]

so you cant get flea

[valid sapphire]

Last game I went to customs to do the quest for skier

[somber rain]

what guns do you have rn

[somber rain]

which one?

if i remember, there are a lot

[valid sapphire]

The extortionist, the one where u gotta go next to warehouse. I got oneshotted by some chad even though I lined up my first magnum BS headshot from 5 meters

[somber rain]

dont aim head with magnum

wait

nvm, dont aim head

get as close as possible and shoot legs

[valid sapphire]

I even waited 20 mins in a bush before extracting

[somber rain]

what gun were you using tho?

[valid sapphire]

Like, others hear me all the time and immediately know wher eI am

even with headsets

[valid sapphire]

saiga 12

[unique steeple]

i can take u there if ur eu

escort

[valid sapphire]

Thanks

I am eu

[unique steeple]

u play now?

[somber rain]

milad can help

[valid sapphire]

Thats nice
but I really want to survive on my own

later if you still want

in one hour?

[unique steeple]

ill teach u how to do it

sure

[valid sapphire]

I have three ak74m's with some basic upgrades and a few others, i think an op sks and a vep with a PSO each

[somber rain]

not bad

ak74 is a solid gun

[valid sapphire]

and I am running the tier 3 chest rig/armor combi for 50k

idk how its called

[unique steeple]

uley

[valid sapphire]

For ammo I use BP iirc

but I dont like playing with the ak since gear fear is just too strong

My gear is worth 100 - 150k I think

[unique steeple]

that kinda ak is not a big deal even for u

youll come across many of those

[valid sapphire]

yeah but I cant buy the handguards

for grips

and I cant control its recoil unmodded

so I have to rely on FIR handguards and some lucky scav runs where I spawn with them

[unique steeple]

a few quests done and u will have lvled up ur tarders

[valid sapphire]

I dont progess with my quests

because I usually get sniped

I tried night raids but I still get killed from random spots

[modern gale]

Are they all on woods lol😂

[valid sapphire]

do i need better armor

[unique steeple]

u probably need better movement

[remote kettle]

try to think about where you get sniped and what times in raid you do get sniped, and avoid those areas

yeah gamesense

[valid sapphire]

customs and factory, but I dont even bother with factory quests lol

[remote kettle]

avoiding enemies alltogether

[valid sapphire]

I never know from where

replays would be amazing for this game

[remote kettle]

from doesnt matter

[valid sapphire]

to learn it

[remote kettle]

where you are is what matters

[brittle canyon]

unfortunately map experience comes with time, you’ll have to keep dying until you get it

[modern gale]

I’ve been struggling too offline raids made me more comfortable with my guns and scav spawns and bosses and you still get a little xp

[brittle canyon]

having a map helps though

mapgenie.io

[valid sapphire]

you get xp for offline?

[brittle canyon]

you get nothing

[valid sapphire]

I saw my skill leveling up once but I thought it was a bug

[brittle canyon]

it looks like you do but you don’t

[valid sapphire]

Okay

would love to do quests offline

Do you guys run full chad for quests?

[unique steeple]

hell nah

[valid sapphire]

or do you take some cheap shit to not get flagged?

[unique steeple]

when i was questing i had a good ol akms n that was it

[brittle canyon]

average loadout

with average stuff

gear shouldn’t be a black or white dichotomy

[scenic sentinel]

i will go shoreline , wanna join ?( eu )

[unique steeple]

ye when u questing just go average

[valid sapphire]

I tried running PACA and sks or mp133 and insure it but people would still loot me all the time

[valid sapphire]

not now but later sure

[brittle canyon]

paca’s garbo

[unique steeple]

paca is not worht it

[scenic sentinel]

i meant like now

[valid sapphire]

ok

[scenic sentinel]

anyone else ?

[remote kettle]

you get XP during the raid but everything is returned to how it was before the raid as soon as you exit it

[brittle canyon]

all level 2 armors are generally useless cuz u can get lv3s for around the same price

[valid sapphire]

I watched some beginner vids a few weeks ago and everyone said to get a paca

[brittle canyon]

u should aim for ragman level 2

and run the 6b3tm all day every day

[valid sapphire]

okay

[brittle canyon]

until you unlock higher ragman levels, then do the barters for ana m1 and tv110

[valid sapphire]

I love this one

found two in raids, and they saved my ass a few times

how much is it

[brittle canyon]

50k

it’s armor steel, repairs about three times, then you can save four of them to trade for a fresh one

[modern gale]

I actually wouldnt recommend the zhuk but I feel I get shot more and die less with the same armor this wipe lol

[brittle canyon]

which zhuk

[pallid basalt]

Exactly, that's why it's memed as the rat kit. Because it's the most viable and it's an armored rig, so no paying for vest

[modern gale]

Zhuk-3

[valid sapphire]

What are some good rat kits btw

[brittle canyon]

press armor?

[modern gale]

Yeah

[brittle canyon]

that thing’s great

[valid sapphire]

where I still have a chance against pmcs but dont have to buy 200k gear for each raid

[brittle canyon]

200k is average

[pallid basalt]

this one 😄

[modern gale]

That’s a fairly cheap kit actually

[pallid basalt]

is the rat go to

[valid sapphire]

Cant buy it yet

[modern gale]

Late in wipe I spend about a Mil per

[valid sapphire]

Yeah no thank you

I got like 3 mil

[brittle canyon]

6b3tm, tv110, korund, gzhel, stufflikethat

[unique steeple]

3 raids

Perfect

[modern gale]

You’ll have so much more my boy in due time

[brittle canyon]

as long as you have great ammo and a decent gun and an armor that saves you from a bullet or two you’re good

[unique steeple]

200k with 3m is nothing

[valid sapphire]

I mean

we will get wiped soon anyways, right

so it doesnt really matter

[modern gale]

Exactly so spend it

[valid sapphire]

Next wipe will be my road to chadness

[modern gale]

And we’ll all be here to witness it

[valid sapphire]

Wish I could, I dont have any traders on l2

[valid sapphire]

with 40fps

on average

probably less because I would need to share my screen

I did not know that a 2060 and a gen 10 i7 couldnt handle this game

[modern gale]

Damn what graphic settings you running?

[unique steeple]

I got 100 with my 2060

[modern gale]

2060 with a gen 10 should be fine

I get 200 with a 5600xt

[pallid basalt]

How? My friend has a 1060 and works just fine. He also has over 60 fps

[modern gale]

Probably has default settings or monitor still caps fps

[valid sapphire]

no clue tbh

probably because it is a laptop

Heat is a huge issue

[bold kernel]

tf scavs know how to strafe?

[valid sapphire]

I am running medium and low render distance

But I realised that either my GPU bottlenecks or the game is terribly optimised

becuase low settings dont improve my fps

[unique steeple]

when its been 0 seconds for a long time

[valid sapphire]

and the game uses up to 10gb ram for me

[pallid basalt]

Yeah, probably. Look at some settings online, cause the recommended ones are usually fps focused, don't turn on post fx and use nVidia reflex as it may help with fps

[valid sapphire]

okay

I mean, I know that I cannot expect it to run at 120 fps on ultra

but 60 fps with medium settings should be possible

[bold kernel]

i swear i saw a AI scav AD strafe at dorms

[pallid basalt]

Exactly. You should get that with the right settings

[valid sapphire]

I already watched two tutorials

None really helped

[pallid basalt]

Yeah, they keep improving them and now they do stuff like lean from behind covers and stuff

The only thing I still haven't seen them do is jump

[bold kernel]

after i shot him he ran somewhere

i thought he disappeared

but he camped inside marked room in the corner lol

[quaint onyx]

marked was allready open?

[modern gale]

@valid sapphire use Pestilys it’s the best

[pallid basalt]

Yeah, I agree

[valid sapphire]

Okay

Are 545 aks still worth running as a chad

I mean I wont have to worry about this for a long time

[unique steeple]

nah

[valid sapphire]

Sad to hear

[teal patrol]

545 is absolutely garbage

[quaint onyx]

chads only use full auto Bp 7.62 guns

[valid sapphire]

okay

That really makes me sad

I was looking forward to using b30/31 ak105s

Love the look

[primal breach]

mutant

[prime forge]

Question so I’ve been playing since like 2 weeks before the last wipe and I’ve gotten farther Into this wipe then last time. What’s the best way to learn maps like woods, reserve, etc and also I’d like to get my traders leveled up what’s some other ways I can level them up other than quests?

[somber rain]

chads also use 5.56 sometimes

[valid sapphire]

I heard 545 BBPS was good though

[somber rain]

if you want to learn maps, run a shit ton of scavs on them and just run around, getting the feel for it, and finding good spots for loot

as for leveling up traders, questing is the only way

[prime forge]

Ah ok

I’m close to one mil I’ve done custom runs with my friends for the past like 10 hours

Just hidden stashes lol

[quaint onyx]

now that the daily quests exist its much easier to level them up

[prime forge]

Customs is like my best known map now lmfao

[somber rain]

it's a good map to learn

[prime forge]

Yeah me and my two friends were at fortress, ran into rashalla and his group killed them then two dudes were cornering my friends up top while I was trying to repack what ever I had left. I killed their friend but got murdered in the face with an SKS…. The amount of pain I felt last night was wow

But honestly me rushing the group helped them survive

And I’m having way too much fun building my guns

[somber rain]

it is good

just not much flesh damage

[valid sapphire]

okay

Anyone down for a raid?

EU

[unique steeple]

there was a popup

servers are shutting down

[valid sapphire]

F

till when

[quaint onyx]

did they mess up the update

[valid sapphire]

It works for me

[primal breach]

same

[quick dirge]

How do I get started with learning Shoreline? Or... would Interchange be a better option?

[quaint onyx]

shoreline is pretty easy

just forest and hills and the resort

couple villages and the power station

[quick dirge]

Resort is intimidating af

Feels like I'm approaching a larger Dorms

[hallow island]

shoreline has tonss of the middle-game quest

[quaint onyx]

peacekeeper almost all quests are at shoreline

[quick dirge]

I don't have any PK quests yet

[quaint onyx]

havent done the friend from the west yet i see

[quick dirge]

Yeah

I think I've done Part 1

A little stuck getting the cash for Part 2

[primal breach]

nice, a gpu in german

on the little stands

and a guy was at emercom

if he only checked german

[quick dirge]

744k to do Part 2. I have 600k in my stash rn

I had 1.2M

But scavs fucked me over too many times

[hallow island]

its this late into wipe, im sorry, how do you have problems with money?

[quick dirge]

I have about 110h in-game

[primal breach]

and i have 500 hours

and still have problems with money

[hallow island]

it doesnt change anyyything, i could take the worst player in the game right now, give him flea, and he could still farm money like candy.

[primal breach]

mk, tell us how

[teal patrol]

scav interchange for 600k a run

[primal breach]

true

,not always 600k tho

[teal patrol]

i usually make about 350-600 a run on int

[quick dirge]

I don't know Inter at all

[teal patrol]

pretty consistently

[hallow island]

you go to map genie, you choose between interchange or shoreline and then you choose, do you want to loot stashes or the middle of the map, depending on which one, you go on youtube, wait for scav timer, farm 👍

so many fucking tutorials, really indepth ones aswell that specify loot, still people manage to be broke

[primal breach]

and how much money do you have?

[teal patrol]

me?

[primal breach]

not you

[hallow island]

6mil after my birthday on saturday

t7's go brr

[primal breach]

lmao 6 mil

and calls himself not broke

[quick dirge]

I've been running Customs lol

[primal breach]

WTF

I JUST FOUND A LEDX IN PHARMACY

TF

TF

TF

[hallow island]

okay how much is the most you have had bro?

[primal breach]

INTERCHANGE

[hallow island]

tell me

enlighten me

[primal breach]

28 mil

[hallow island]

xDDDD

[primal breach]

what's your stash value

[hallow island]

i dont got a fucking clue lol

[quick dirge]

I've just been dying to scav a lot recently

Three deaths were bullshit

Bc scavs didn't shout

[primal breach]

ez

[hallow island]

i bought 3 t7's, 200 rounds of lapua ap, flir's and had fun on saturday so

🤷

probably gonna quit until wipe

not more than a month until that anyway

[quick dirge]

Pls do so I have one less chad to hide from :>

[tepid garnet]

Pls dont so i have one more chad to piss off with a ks23

Wrong reply lmao

[quick dirge]

Omfg I just realised

Nice SICC tag

[primal breach]

yeah ik

but im fucking confused

how i found the ledx

in pharmacy

[quick dirge]

It's a spawn ig

[primal breach]

i thought it was an ultra ultra rare spawn

it was a pistol run too

[quick dirge]

Was it in a medbag or sm?

[primal breach]

no

the shelf

in pharmacy

i clipped it

[hallow island]

all ledx spawns are insanely rare on inter atm

[primal breach]

here

and there was a guy

that passed pharmacy

and didnt unlock it

he chose to unlock emercom

and didnt check german

he missed a gpu in german and a ledx in pharmacy

poor soul

[quick dirge]

Apparently LEDXs can spawn in suitcases on Inter

But immensely rare

[teal patrol]

same with duffles

[valid sapphire]

Anyone on EU and down for a raid?

[quick dirge]

#pvp-lfg

[valid sapphire]

ah, sry, my bad

Just wanted to follow up to the two guys who asked for an eu group earlier

in case they were still looking for someone

[hallow island]

hello, ive been playing for a little but im still not sure how to keep attachments around in my stash, sometimes i dump them into my weapon cases instead of having guns in there, or then i put my guns into the cases and then keep the attachments just laying around in my stash but i just cant find a way of storing attachments that i like, might aswell sell all of them soon

[quaint onyx]

you can put them in handguards to save space

[zinc canopy]

Make sure you sell all fir ones on flea

[quick dirge]

X47 is pretty space efficient

[zinc canopy]

Most non gunsmith weapon attachments don’t change in price much

[hallow island]

i have in the hundreds of just meta silencers, muzzles etc laying around randomly or then in some of my weapon cases

its not much use since i just get lazy and hit buy all when making weapons anyway lol

[zinc canopy]

I mean mechanic has a weapons case barter for not that much

[open hedge]

my first found in raid ladx

[narrow gull]

trax1 + trax bridge + trax2 is the most attachments per inventory slot i know of

[inner mountain]

Any labs sherpas

😂

[worthy topaz]

If Tarkov got voip, would there be a push-to-talk option or will it just be open voice?

[quaint onyx]

it will get voip soon

[worthy topaz]

I know that, but will there be an option to use a push to talk voip?

Like hold m3 or something like that. Or would it just be open mic

[teal patrol]

no one knows

[quaint onyx]

i would think it will be push to talk

i think someone said the talk time will be limited aswell

[real trellis]

Tooting booting ready for shootin

[quick dirge]

Will check it out

[rough scarab]

also note some sight attachments reduce the size of a scope from 2 slot to 1

like putting a valday on a svd low mount makes it 1 slot, so you save the 2 slots

[brittle canyon]

all the dovetail to picatinny mounts

as well as AK handguards on a gas block

[rough scarab]

yea

[rugged dune]

what to sell?

[brittle canyon]

all guns u don’t have enough ammo for

all ammo u don’t have a gun for

rest of the guns remove the pistol grip and mag to make it 1 high

[hallow island]

people actually use 9x39 for sniping?

[brittle canyon]

those people should be feared

[solid agate]

i use 9*18 to snipe

[brittle canyon]

one does not simply “snipe” with a subsonic round

[solid agate]

sp7 ftw

one round of sp7 can black a leg

[rough scarab]

sanitar sniped me with kedr

[brittle canyon]

that’s just sanitar

[rough scarab]

head eyes from like 150m with sp8

[solid agate]

i killed sanitar cuz he ran stragiht at me while i was shooting him

saiga 9 20 rounds of ap20

1.4k damage that game and i only killed him and his garuds

bosses are weird

thehy either run away and heal or they turn around and aimbot you

[hallow island]

everytime ive ever encountered sanitar

its either him camping around a corner onetapping me in the thorax while wearing a slick or then he onetaps me in the thorax while wearing a slick from the otherside of resort

[solid agate]

i only saw him cuz someone told me he was there

[rough scarab]

i havent been able to kill him this wipe

everytime I run into him im W keying into resort and then his guards are there lined up

[bold kernel]

bruh everytime i run into sani, he cant aim for shit lmao

his guards give me more trouble tbh

i havent seen him since i got the quest tho welp

[real steeple]

doesnt count, its found in scav case

[open hedge]

SHUT

let me be happy

[wary juniper]

could someone help me with the "Introduction" quest?

[open hedge]

Maybe

[wary valley]

Jagger?

[wary juniper]

yes, I have a hard time finding myself on the woods

[unique steeple]

Is that a photo of u

[wary juniper]

yes

[unique steeple]

I like how u have to have a photo with every message

Very cool

[wary juniper]

thx

[unique steeple]

U need to go woods

U need some help

[merry dust]

ask tower

he snipes with a vss

@reef spoke

can confirm.

[unique steeple]

We all know that man is built differently

We cannot compare

[merry dust]

he needs help desperately

[unique steeple]

Ye lmao

[merry dust]

hes on a different level

[wary juniper]

I know it, but I can't find his hideout, tried many times offline and nothing, I also have problems finding an extraction point

[reef spoke]

Huh, I was summoned ?

[merry dust]

mr vss sniper

[reef spoke]

Yee?

[merry dust]

prove that subsonic is the way to snipe

to this unholy non believer

[wary juniper]

I hate this map

[strong pewter]

i dont seem to understand any tutorials on this task, im really bad at modifying guns. help would be much appreciated

[reef spoke]

It's the way to prove your a better sniper than other people is all.

If you csnt snipe sub sonic, you don't actually know how to snipe.

[strong pewter]

okay lemme have a look

[merry dust]

thats going in the quote books

[strong pewter]

how do i increase ergonomics on my shotgun

[devout spade]

nice daily task

[wary juniper]

you can find some parts at fance shop but gun will be arleady made

[unique steeple]

Outta pocket

[devout spade]

but is the twitch rivals armband good at all?

[wary juniper]

If you want, I can give you a magazine for part 2

[unique steeple]

Yea

It barters well and it’s a flex

Got one myself

[devout spade]

do you know how much ppl are paying for it

[unique steeple]

There’s no going for money

Only barters

[devout spade]

what is a good barter for it? since i have 2

[unique steeple]

U can look what other ppl are doing

[strong pewter]

its okay thanks, i have to figure out part 1 first

[devout spade]

mostly see green card, and other high value items

[wary juniper]

part 2 is quite hard to get because of a 60+ ammo magazine. I still have one such magazine, because I killed a guy with good items on. I will give it away for free

[unique steeple]

how tf u got so many racoon pics

[strong pewter]

God bless you racoon

[unique steeple]

ye thats what it goes for

[strong pewter]

can you tell me how a shotgun has a magazine

[unique steeple]

the tube

[bold kernel]

Shotguns have internal mags

[strong pewter]

what do i need to buy

[potent magnet]

does anyone want to help me get alot of money and kits ?

[unique steeple]

nothing

[bold kernel]

It already has it

[strong pewter]

ohh

thanks

[bold kernel]

Are you NA?

[royal cradle]

the key thing to know about shotgun mags is that they can't be unloaded / reloaded during raid - you can only top load (except for something like the Saiga external mags)

[potent magnet]

yes

[wary juniper]

seriously, if you don't want it, I sell it to NPC. you don't have a barrel tip

[unique steeple]

i mean shift t counts

[royal cradle]

i have custom controls so i forget what shift t does by default

[bold kernel]

I’ll tag along cause I’m bored but I can’t carry so you might wanna get someone else to

[strong pewter]

i really really want it but im going to force myself to decline

its my first time playing so i kinda wanna do all the quests

[potent magnet]

waht lv are U

[unique steeple]

just eject a bullet

[bold kernel]

There’s a hard spawn on woods for the magazine

So it isn’t that difficult

[strong pewter]

i went there 3 times and havent found it

[bold kernel]

I find one every raid

[royal cradle]

true i guess? but that doesn't remove the mag from the shotgun

[merry dust]

you need a choke a sprut and a tbl

[bold kernel]

You can also craft it

In the hideout

[unique steeple]

yea

[quaint onyx]

you should check every item if you want to min max it

[merry dust]

IM A LABS RAID WOOPS

[quaint onyx]

tarkov market is a good place to check prices

[neat mist]

Pretty sure stuff like the yellow pliers worth barely any more on theflea

Slim diary is less on flea iirc

But yeah just check tarkov market

[somber summit]

3 scav runs so far today and every single one of them got me killed by another scav.

Its time to screw rep on fence and murder some playerscavs

[honest shore]

Why can't I run an M4 without a forward sight? I have a red dot on it and the forward sight obscures view

[narrow gull]

mk12 low profile gas block

[rich rose]

That happened to me last night. Back to back scav runs each getting killed by a player scav

[quaint onyx]

it acts as a gas block

[somber summit]

People just dont care anymore this late into the wipe

[narrow gull]

look it up

[rich rose]

Guess not

[honest shore]

How can I get rid of it then? Is there another part that has the gas block component without blocking the sight?

[merry dust]

mk12

[narrow gull]

or they're new players since the game literally doesn't tell you anything about skarma

[honest shore]

Thanks, fortune says I wouldn't have that.

[rich rose]

It does tell you in the bottom right when you kill a scav it says you lost some karma doesn’t it?

[narrow gull]

not anymore

[solid agate]

Nope

[quaint onyx]

or put a spacer under your red dot if you can

[narrow gull]

it's supposed to say after the raid though i have yet to find that screen

[honest shore]

Can't yet.

[solid agate]

People just skip past that screen

But its there

[narrow gull]

and even then 90% of people just click through the end stats

[honest shore]

I've had 2 good encounters with player scavs and 1 where they shot me with 12 guage in the arm. I killed them but I died afterwards due to my injuries.

[merry dust]

after killing killa armor bitchass, at my end stats it says "died to kamor pst gzh head, eyes"

[neat mist]

If player scav attacks me then I shoot him but then his friend kills me do they both lose karma?

[solid agate]

Prob

[indigo fog]

no

[rich rose]

Oh ok I thought mine was just so bad it stopped telling me when I lost a bit 😂

[merry dust]

no

[honest shore]

If they actually hit you then you don't lose karma and can shoot back. I think you actually gain karma, I know you do if they've killed another scav already

[indigo fog]

even if the first scav hits and doesnt kil he doesnt lose karma

[honest shore]

Yup. I was happy when I killed that player scav who shot at me and died later from the injuries. He didn't get loot and still lost karma

What's more important; recoil or ergo?

[narrow gull]

recoil but only up to a point

[neat mist]

Two scavs came up to me one meleed me in my arm so I so I put some lead in his direction then the other guy just killed me

Seems like a loophole if one player is willing to lose karma?

[indigo fog]

yup

[honest shore]

I have two grips with 32 recoil and 30 recoil, with 2 ergo and 8 ergo respectively. I imagine the eergo is more important at that point?

[narrow gull]

you want around 50 ergo though not all guns can reach that

[neat mist]

Damm

[narrow gull]

on a decent build

[neat mist]

I was pretty loaded too

[indigo fog]

never trust another player you dont know scav or pmc

[honest shore]

That grip put me from 49 to 57. Should I focus recoil after that then?

[narrow gull]

yea, 57 seems pretty reasonable with mags

[neat mist]

I mean they were all scavs for sure since there were many others around

Just sucks that I got killed like that

[honest shore]

And why can't I use my A2 buffer tube? I can put it on, but cannot put any stocks on it even though they should be compatible.

[indigo fog]

if they attacked you in the middle of ai scavs they probably died or lost a ton of karma

[narrow gull]

what stocks are we talking

[honest shore]

M4SS, MOE, BUS. MOE is what I am using right now with a colt buffer tube

[neat mist]

But in this case will the second player scav that killed me be attacked? Since he was technically retaliating to my shots and that you guys said he wouldn't lose karma

[narrow gull]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Colt_A2_buffer_tube#Stock

check "stock" section

doesn't accept any of those

[honest shore]

Ah thanks.

[jagged laurel]

Hi

[inner mountain]

5.56 never seems to kill people when I use it unless I overkill magdump people

[indigo fog]

its not over dumping unless youre firing into a lifeless corpse

[inner mountain]

at 2300 a round

I would say it feels like over dumping

[indigo fog]

depends , wanna lose 30 rounds or your loadout

[inner mountain]

the ammo is sometimes worth more

LOL

[indigo fog]

lol i feel that

[narrow gull]

don't run 2300 per shot ammo if that's an issue

[inner mountain]

late wipe you kinda need it for that caliber

[narrow gull]

they're like 7$ per shot from pk4

[inner mountain]

unless you leg meta

[narrow gull]

no you don't

[indigo fog]

i use shotties most of the time or snb but i have an Adar i lik and i spray a1 with it

[narrow gull]

plenty other guns with good ammo that is cheaper

[unique steeple]

Magdumping with 55a1 is fine when it costs 300 roubles

But not 2k

[narrow gull]

even in 5.56 you can do decently with 856a1 if you hit headshots

[inner mountain]

I mean you can headshot with wooden bullets too

thats a weak argument imo

[indigo fog]

where you buy those?

barter is 4 wooden stocks?

[inner mountain]

4 wooden stocks and a wood chipper

[indigo fog]

oof always 1 item short

[narrow gull]

like if your issue is with 2300 per round and you feel like you can't compete without it then either use a different caliber or practice those headshots

[inner mountain]

yea they had to nerf that barter it was too op

[indigo fog]

lol

[narrow gull]

because the only way to make it cheaper is to unlock pk4

[inner mountain]

I just avoid 556 on principle

[indigo fog]

265 per shot for me my guns are dirt cheap if i want lvl 4 armor 3/4 helm i never care if i die

[inner mountain]

ive been using RFBs with m80s as my workhorse gun tbh

[indigo fog]

flechette and 8.5 mix for me with a 10 round tube or siaga with drums

[inner mountain]

how much does that run you usually

[honest shore]

Finally came across my first camper... Oh well.

Any advice for how to deal with them?

I had cleared the wrong side of the door first

[inner mountain]

nades or dont bother

[pine ore]

see them before they see you

[near plover]

Shuffle in place

[honest shore]

Bruh I'm tired of shooting people and them just shrugging off bullets. I sent 5 rounds into this guys back with 7.62 with above average ammo and he came full speed around a corner not even injured, without enough time to pop meds.

[hollow thorn]

Might've been pre-juiced

I know some higher-tier players just walk around stimmed so if a fight pops off they're prepped to beat ass

[wide goblet]

what's in the new update

[hollow thorn]

no clue yet, hasn't dropped

[honest shore]

I highly doubt it. He was crouching in a building moving as quiet as possible. But it was dorms

[hollow thorn]

yeah if it was dorms he definitely coulda been pre-juiced

[pine ore]

what amm o u run

[honest shore]

7.62x39 PS gzh

[hollow thorn]

oh oof

PS is not above average, PS is average

At this point you want to run at least BP

[honest shore]

It can go through every armor plate within a few shots except level 6 according to the wiki.

And I'd imagine that back armor is worse than front armor

[pine ore]

Yea if its t6 armor then thats the reason you aint killing him lmao

[pine ore]

yes except t5 and 6

[hollow thorn]

Armor is armor

there's no er, back/front

[honest shore]

Nobody knows

[pine ore]

Today at 12pm Cest

[hollow thorn]

Wipe was yesterday

la vie

[pine ore]

yes

[hollow thorn]

but er yeah dews

[honest shore]

Isn't the back of all armor weaker? Usually a t6 armor would have t4 equivalent in the back, is that not true in tarkov?

[pine ore]

timezone... American moment

[pine ore]

no its equal good lmao

t6 is t6

[hollow thorn]

yeah thats too realistic lol

[pine ore]

nomatter where

[hollow thorn]

T6 is T6 all around

[pine ore]

yes

[honest shore]

Noted.

[hollow thorn]

According to the ballistic chart if he's wearing T5, which is common at this stage of wipe, he'd shrug off some PS rounds

This is also why ammo values need to just be in game

[honest shore]

Yeah a few, but not 5.

[hollow thorn]

in this game 5 is a few

[reef spoke]

That's only if someone is saving weight by not wearing the same plates in the back of a carrier

[honest shore]

Actually yeah 5. Its 5-9 on the wiki

[hollow thorn]

Mmmhm

Armor is really tanky in this game

[strong pewter]

my pmc and scav are basically the same person

[placid ledge]

would anyone be willing to help me with the introduction task?

[honest shore]

I didn't know you could even take out plates

[reef spoke]

Plates are " directional". As in there is a strike face and a body side.

If you shoot the body side the are not as effective at stopping bullets.

[placid ledge]

i have no idea what im doing on woods

[hollow thorn]

Getting lost probably

[placid ledge]

thats an accurate statement

[hollow thorn]

Whatchu tryina do

[placid ledge]

complete the introduction

[merry dust]

Don’t mention that shitty place

[placid ledge]

the task for jaeger

[hollow thorn]

The er-

yeah okay

[merry dust]

o

nvm

[hollow thorn]

that one is a bit of a bitch

[reef spoke]

Yep , there is a big pocket in vest the plates sit in.

Most US plates are 10x12" or 8x10"

[merry dust]

ARTIC U NEED HELP?

[placid ledge]

yes

[devout plank]

Just grab it in a night run and use car Exfil

[merry dust]

what’s legal amount?

[merry dust]

bet get out of raid

[honest shore]

Would a beretta with 2 reserve mags and a tbag be enough to avoid cursed and marked?

[placid ledge]

im ready right know if you are

[hollow thorn]

The issue isn't leaving, its probably finding the thing

[reef spoke]

Of plates ?

Plates are not regulated In the US.

[hollow thorn]

Yeah that should be enough

[merry dust]

alright hollup

[honest shore]

ty

[merry dust]

U TELLIN ME I CAN WEAR FULL BODY ARMOR?

[devout plank]

If you're EU or NA East I can help

[hollow thorn]

wrong guy Lam

[reef spoke]

If you want. Yeah.

You could have it shipped directly to your door.

[hollow thorn]

Also not for long Tower

[merry dust]

I’m recreating that gta scene

[honest shore]

Depending on the state you can barely have an actual gun to go with it but yes.

[hollow thorn]

at least in my state they're already starting to put laws in place limiting what we can wear in terms of ballistic armor

[reef spoke]

Plates in the rig hanging on the tool box.

[merry dust]

are underbarrel gls not allowed

[honest shore]

Imagine having laws for how you protect yourself with actual survivability means. Guns there's the argument, but are doors illegal because they protect you? lol

[merry dust]

@placid ledge 2 man 1

[placid ledge]

its full

[reef spoke]

Technically yes but no one sells them.

Each 40mm would require it's own destructive device stamp as well , requiring a back ground check and a 200$ cost.

However you can get. 37mm flare launcher that works the same way

[merry dust]

control r

[honest shore]

What are the little ritual circles for? In "Marked rooms"

[merry dust]

so that 37mm flare launcher can launch nades?

[hollow thorn]

Good loot sometimes spawns there

keyword sometimes

Those rooms used to be really, really good but they got somewhat nerfed

[honest shore]

It doesn't actually mark you or anything?

[reef spoke]

No , they won't fit and if Im not mistaken they are not rated for the pressure the nades cause , so you'd blow your hand and gun up

[hollow thorn]

Nawh

[honest shore]

Ok thanks

[hollow thorn]

Granted at night, between midnight and 6am cultists can spawn near them

and they're a fucking doozy

[merry dust]

well fuck

[hollow thorn]

high pen ammo, sometimes with night vision of some sort, and they like to hide in bushes and try to stab you

[honest shore]

I love this guy spraying me through a wall before he even turns it wtf.

And its not like he was close enough for desync, he was so far I couldn't hear him.

[tepid garnet]

rate the mf loadout 😤

[merry dust]

sigh

[honest shore]

Isn't that really bad armor for what you are bringing?

[hollow thorn]

Eh

[narrow gull]

it's fine but it basically only works once

[hollow thorn]

its an sks

[merry dust]

tier 3

[hollow thorn]

I thought it was a mutant at first glance and thought you were insane-

[merry dust]

its pretty bad

[narrow gull]

oh wait, nvm

[hollow thorn]

wait that's tier THREE

[merry dust]

sadly

[hollow thorn]

yeah you're bonkers lol

tier 4 is my minimum

[merry dust]

listenin to Pablo Escobar type shit rn

[merry dust]

always

never run less than that

[hollow thorn]

Keep in mind that sound is er, skill based

[honest shore]

I don't bring armor a lot, but if I'm bringing a kitted gun I'm not bringing tier 3 armor.

[hollow thorn]

So if someone has higher perception than you, they'll hear you before you hear them

[merry dust]

that is a uselessly expensive gun

like extremely

id say thats near the same price as a budget mdr

[hollow thorn]

Also I always bring tier 4 because dying to a scav sucks more than anything I feel

[honest shore]

Yeah that's true, but I've never had anyone sneak up on me unheard in this game yet. And I'm in a building with metal stairs where they came from

[tepid garnet]

more. Consider the silencer

[hollow thorn]

It can get pretty bad

[merry dust]

you get my point

[hollow thorn]

Shouldaville did a video on how he beat a 3-4 man because he can literally hear every movement in factory while they can not

[honest shore]

Is there a K/D ratio that's noted anywhere?

[merry dust]

in your character screen yues

[hollow thorn]

Go to your character, its listed under Overall

[honest shore]

Thanks. Does that count AI scav?

[hollow thorn]

granted it tends to mean little because it counts scavs

yeah

[merry dust]

yes

[hollow thorn]

I rarely win PvP but have a k/d of 2.xx

especially bad since night raid scavs are just a point and click adventure

[honest shore]

I've lost pvp most of the time, but I'd say its a 66% loss rate. And only against kitted played really.

[merry dust]

higher than me

[tepid garnet]

Oh actual question though: whats a good budget armor on flea? I only have ragman level 2 for one more level and idrk what armor to run most of the time

[devout plank]

6B3TM-01M is always solid if you're Ragman 2 and questing, if you're pvping there doesn't really exist many Class 5 / 6 that are budget

[fathom current]

6

[fathom current]

rate mine mate

[tepid garnet]

Eh about a 5. You could use a pom pom

[tepid garnet]

Nah i just need a decent class 4 thats not super heavy but im not sure there is one

My problem is ive gotten to the level that my guns and ammo can compete especially if i play right, but my armor sucks in comparison to other peoples.

Most times i just go in with the level 4 armored rig that ragman 2 offers and just go with it

[carmine owl]

kinda new anyone wanna duo?

[bold kernel]

@carmine owl im down in a bit if u aint found anyone

[tepid garnet]

Sure. You down to run shoreline? Ive got some things to do.

[narrow gull]

[carmine owl]

[merry dust]

[merry dust]

[somber summit]

103 was the go to right?

[carmine owl]

what?

[merry dust]

GO TO

3 MAN 21

[hollow thorn]

my brain thought that was a basketball play for a half-second

[river ruin]

@somber summit always invest more in the ammo imo

[somber summit]

Usually yes

[river ruin]

Modded gun means nothing with shit ammo in it

[somber summit]

But with newer players idk if i wanna burn through bp ammo

[river ruin]

Run tracer cheap and effective

[somber summit]

Which are tracer?

[honest shore]

How do I report a cheater? He's shooting through walls with a sniper

[river ruin]

Tarkov wiki ballistics

[unique steeple]

when u get killed by them u can report

or just remember their name and go in the chat system

[honest shore]

I don't see an option

[somber summit]

But 762 caliber?

[honest shore]

Thanks

[neat mist]

The triangle next to their name

On the left sie

[river ruin]

@somber summit m)80 gets the job done

[neat mist]

Side

[somber summit]

Ugh ok... With an rfb or is that already too mucb?

[honest shore]

Just watched the video, he shot me through some bars that are on the top floor of crackhouse. Nevermind.

[neat mist]

Just take whatever imo

Your friends will have shit gear as well

[hollow thorn]

Its always fun to try meme kits

[somber summit]

Dont wanna sound rude. But thats beyond the point of me asking for what to bring. Because i needed assistance as im fairily new myself... And this is... Yk beginner assistance

[hollow thorn]

Uh

if you're really worried about ammo

bring two mags in reserve, and put 60 rounds in your secure case

so you can pack mags

[honest shore]

How do people get dogtags by the way? All the people I've killed don't have them. Even PMCs. Am I missing something?

[somber summit]

Pmcs will have dogtags on them

[honest shore]

Is it a special slot?

[somber summit]

If they arent taken already

[hollow thorn]

yea

[somber summit]

Next to pockets

[hollow thorn]

^

[honest shore]

Ah that special slot is locked for me. How do I unlock it?

Its all greyed out

[somber summit]

Wut

[pure mist]

he doesn't have a tag then

[hollow thorn]

^

[pure mist]

it's prob a pscav or just a scav

[hollow thorn]

you're probably killin scavs lol

[honest shore]

But I had just killed them

[pure mist]

they are pmcs?

[hollow thorn]

player scav or scav ai

[lunar herald]

I need to kill 50 scavs for the weekly task, what's the best map/ area to farm them?

[pure mist]

send a screenshot of the bodies

[somber summit]

It wasnt really about the how. More about the what

[carmine owl]

yea im down

[hollow thorn]

run bp

[hollow thorn]

Factory if you can handle it, customs/interchange is my other go to

[lunar herald]

I hate factory, stopped playing it and ive went from 2.5 mill to 6 mill in like 2 weeks

[modern gale]

Yo anybody tryna show me the ropes? I had the game for a while but I'm really getting into it now and have no clue what to do. (I play NA)

[hollow thorn]

Fair

[fierce path]

someone want to tag along with me, havent played much since wipe, im a good distraction if anything

[neat mist]

I mean like, I don't think it really matters what you take especially if your just trying to teach them lol

[neat mist]

If it's greyed out then it's a scav if there's nothing there then it's been looted already

[honest shore]

I must have never killed a true PMC and looted or slipped by it.

[placid ledge]

can someone help me complete the search mission quest on woods?
