beginners-assistance

[honest shore]

So how am I supposed to combat someone who is completely silent and can hear me slow walking enough to know exactly when to rotate and flank?

I was wearing headsets

And wouldn't I still hear a door open? Is that client side too?

Even if he flanked

[teal patrol]

who said he opened a door

[narrow gull]

you shoulda heard a door open except if he jumped from the fence he probably entered through main entrance

[teal patrol]

theres so many drop downs and jump ups

[honest shore]

When he jumped down into a window he would have to open a door to get out of that room right?

[teal patrol]

no

[honest shore]

How do you get out of the rooms then?

[teal patrol]

you walk

out the door

?

[honest shore]

Straight through the doors?

[teal patrol]

bro

[honest shore]

I closed them all after clearing.

[teal patrol]

the door is fucking open

idk then

get better ears

[honest shore]

No it fucking isn't

[primal crow]

just got a free map of factory as a scav

do i sell it?

[honest shore]

Where can I purchase better ears? Is my 7.1 surround sound that works for every other game not good enough?

I need the brand new 9.0

[merry dust]

Yes

[narrow gull]

all ears work more or less the same, it's preference

oh, you mean irl

[merry dust]

That’s called perception

[narrow gull]

i've literally seen a vid of a guy owning factory with apple ear buds

[honest shore]

Does being new just make you deaf then?

[merry dust]

Not really

[narrow gull]

pretty much

[merry dust]

But I can hear a guy across labs

and he won’t hear me

[honest shore]

I couldn't hear a guy dropping a whole floor.

[teal patrol]

like i said

[merry dust]

Kek

[teal patrol]

falls are client side

[merry dust]

ur mom is

[honest shore]

and then open a door, and then I also couldn't hear him walking at all

[narrow gull]

that's just sound not working

[quick dirge]

When are Inter scav spawns?

[narrow gull]

perception is when the other guy can hear you like 20m farther

[honest shore]

So, again I ask, how can I possibly combat that?

[neat mist]

you dont

tarkoved

[merry dust]

Me

[merry dust]

U can’t lol

[honest shore]

Ok great then.

Lost all my good stuff because tarkov decided I shouldn't hear.

[merry dust]

Get used to it

[honest shore]

Here is the death btw. Can anybody even see him?

The flash is coming from downstairs, and I don't see him at all when you peek upstairs

[merry dust]

that’s like a hacker tf?

[honest shore]

Bruh

[merry dust]

Was it above?

[honest shore]

Sound and muzzle flash came from below

And he hit thorax, so unlikely to be above where only my head was peeking.

[pure mist]

can't hear audio but it looks like theres a cheater?

[honest shore]

My audio doesn't record for some reason.

Idk how to fix it

[pure mist]

what are you using to record?

[honest shore]

GeForce Experience

[pure mist]

huh

weird

[neat mist]

lmao yeah cheater

[honest shore]

Bruh...

How can I report again?

I do still have the name, its actually in the video

[narrow gull]

only if you die

[honest shore]

Well someone told me there was a way of reporting through chat

[teal patrol]

in launcher

[honest shore]

If you had their name

[narrow gull]

also looks like a possible case of severe desync

tell tale signs: no audio, die from nowhere

[honest shore]

Desync isn't possible to be that severe. Unless the server ping was over 1 second, which is about how long I took to die

Because my ping in the corner is about 70

[narrow gull]

oh you poor thing

it can happen with both dudes having 20ms

[quick dirge]

Holy shit

[narrow gull]

and that bad has also have been recorded multiple times

[honest shore]

Yeah, its all about server ping.

[narrow gull]

it's really not, it's about crappy servers getting overloaded

[quick dirge]

I was on first proper Inter raid with people who don't exactly know the map

We were in store across from Kiba doing quest

[honest shore]

Where is it in launcher?

[quick dirge]

And pscavs/scavs just kept flooding in

It felt like a wave-based shooter ngl

[neat mist]

wish that was a gamemode ngl

[honest shore]

Next time rotate. Don't go back into where you were taking shots.

Especially if you don't know where they are.

[real trellis]

if you are trying to fight blind you will die

get as much cover between where you think/know the shots are coming from

[neat mist]

whys the vss half the cost of the val? I thought they were pretty much the same gun except newer?

[vapid flume]

thats true, I was just out of enerrgy and really just wanted to get tf out of that raid because that was prob the worst raid ive ever had on shoreline

[merry dust]

Mods

val can take grip moe blah blah

[neat mist]

ah

[narrow gull]

vss also counts for dmr skill, not ar skill

[merry dust]

who cares about that tho

[narrow gull]

also they were developed at the same time, just different purpose

people who have high AR skill but low DMR skill

[pure mist]

^

this is the true reason

lets say you never use dmr but you always use a assault rifle like mutant

if you use vss

you have way more recoil

even thought the recoil are just about the same

bc you have high assault rifle stat to lower the recoil of the val

@neat mist

[honest shore]

Well going back to where you were just getting shot isn't getting out of there.

I would have kept moving along that fence line and booked it somewhere after you got stamina.

[neat mist]

got it

[vapid flume]

Ik, I spawned in a location I dont know whatsoever, and i was already in a demotivated mood, so I just hoped they would peek and I could see them but then they tossed 4 nades

[neat mist]

alos, vog grenade is so much more expensive since its 2sec delay right

[honest shore]

Yeah. Simple mistake. I wouldn't have done it there, but have done similar in other situations.

[merry dust]

25 is

[honest shore]

All grenades except M67 are pretty short fuzed.

[tired dew]

I want to turn my sound down so I don't have a jumpscare heart attack everytime i get shot but then I cant hear shit lol

[neat mist]

2 sec vs 3.5 for the next fastest

[vapid flume]

I honestly am trying to get better at the game but I hate this game for a whole ass list of reasons

[honest shore]

Yeah there is a difference.

[honest shore]

You can try turning up noise normalization on your mic, if applicable. Then gunshots will be quieter and soft things will be louder.

But less immersion

And harder to tell distances

[pure mist]

im running out

noooo

[honest shore]

Zarya is way better anyways. Get more of those. If you hit someone with them about 100 times, they might die idk

[pure mist]

lol

[honest shore]

That would be such a sad death imagine some chad with aviators stun grenades you to death

[crystal oracle]

Going in with Gen4, TK With face cover, azimut rig and a kitted out AK wish me luck

on factory

[merry dust]

Lol

[honest shore]

GL

[neat mist]

why are some nvgs so cheap like the pmv or n-15

[narrow gull]

pnv-10 are not bad but need extra mounts
pvs-14 are pretty bad
n-15 you can only attack to a specific headgear so you end up without a helmet, though the nvg themselves look pretty good

[neat mist]

seems like a pretty good strat for night runs tho right

[narrow gull]

yea, esp late night from 23 to 03 it's pretty dark

[crystal oracle]

No PMCs lmao

Dead raid

Killed 3 scavs

[honest shore]

You didn't die, good raid

[slim dove]

i can play woods smoothly when offline, the moment i get online, i get like 20 fps less

[primal breach]

is this good for a naked ks23 run?

[honest shore]

There shouldn't be a difference really.

Might want to send a log to support

[pure mist]

Not really

[honest shore]

Have a look through it yourself if able

[pure mist]

It’s ight then that’s it

[honest shore]

You need to get at least 2 more slicks for it to be an ok run.

then 3m rubles equivalent for good.

[slim dove]

there shouldnt be, but still there is xD, lets see if i can contact them tho i dont have a lot of hope for support to help me in this

[quick dirge]

Bruh fr

[quick dirge]

That pistol grip is 300k on Flea lol

[honest shore]

Make sure to try crying too. Always helps.

[quick dirge]

Offline normally has lower FPS

[honest shore]

Its good cause holes

[primal breach]

bro?

[quick dirge]

Yes

Also if those are shift grips

100k each iirc

[honest shore]

I should take a drill and just drill holes through all my grips for easy money

[quick dirge]

Very good for naked KS-23

[primal breach]

very bad imo ngl

[pure mist]

@honest shore I @ you in #videos

[primal breach]

just 2 meta guns and 1 slick?

pretty shit

[pure mist]

That’s was my highlight

[slim dove]

lets see if this works

[honest shore]

I meant actually crying

[honest shore]

Wait you're using powersaving mode?

Don't do that, do the opposite of that

[quick dirge]

I never use these

[quick dirge]

Make sure you're on High Performance

[honest shore]

Power saving will kill your FPS.

In offline and online.

[slim dove]

switched it to max performance and changed some adv option

lets see what happends

happens*

[honest shore]

Let me see your settings in tarkov if that fails/

But max performance should help an absolute ton

[slim dove]

lets hope, tho it should affect a lot on temps right

?

[honest shore]

Yes

If you don't have the thermals to run your rig at performance on a game you shouldn't be using it for games or you should upgrade your thermals

[hollow thorn]

most people just cheese this by unloading and reloading an m700 or mosin

[honest shore]

Oh that's neat

[neat mist]

inst there a cap per raid to prevent powerelveling certain skills?

[hollow thorn]

sorta kinda

[quick dirge]

VPO seems better

Then again

[hollow thorn]

its more per round, not per mag

[quick dirge]

Does every bullet give the same XP as a mag?

Ah

[hollow thorn]

first 3mins you get a bonus, then normal leveling, then you get a reduced gain

[neat mist]

speaking of, is m700 good?

[honest shore]

Can you unload straight into your inventory so you don't have to pick up the round again?

[hollow thorn]

reduced gain goes away if you don't level it for a bit, but will come back sooner each time

[hollow thorn]

ye

[hollow thorn]

I like it, it has good muzzle velocity

[honest shore]

I should do that with SKS. I always lose the round reloading.

But I'd have to unload every shot wouldn't I? If I unload the top one it just chambers a new one

[hollow thorn]

sks also doesn't count as a sniper rifle

[neat mist]

what do you think is a good sight to put on it for sniping scavs

[hollow thorn]

depends on where you'll be sniping

but generally I use the valaday 1-6x

[honest shore]

I just mean because I like to run sks, I saw an opportunity to run it better so figured I would ask

[hollow thorn]

oh

if you're gonna run sks just get the 20 rounders

[honest shore]

Its nice to be able to top off and not worry about mags being full, just annoying when you lose a round after every reload

But 20 rounder would obviously just be better overall

Where is sks stripper clips?

[quick dirge]

How

[hollow thorn]

right-click unload

[solid agate]

how do i know if its scav boss or raider

[honest shore]

Inspect the gun and take the bullet out of the chamber works too

[solid agate]

its only one guy and he has altyn on

im a player scav by the train

front of depot hermetic

[quick dirge]

How tf do I cancel the topload + pump shottie reloads?

It's fucking impossible

[neat mist]

how does the valday compare against the tac30?

[hollow thorn]

voice-lines

[honest shore]

Boss usually has minions and they look a certain way. And only spawn in certain locations. You have to learn all of that.

[neat mist]

wish you could try out scopes and stuff

[honest shore]

Unless its killa or the other one I forget

[hollow thorn]

tac is nice but is only 4x

1-4x

[honest shore]

Offline raid or shooting range

[neat mist]

when no shooting range and before buying

[solid agate]

russian

[honest shore]

Ah, then try crying.

[neat mist]

will do

[solid agate]

so raider can spawn with alatyn/

[quick dirge]

1-4x is perfect

[solid agate]

i think they are raiders

[neat mist]

also are there any good dovetail sights? or should I just buy the adapter thingy

[solid agate]

ye def raiders

[honest shore]

It's possible, idk where you are or what they look like, and I'm not good at boss identification either

[quick dirge]

6x feels too much unless maaaybe sniper or DMR on some parts of Woods

[quick dirge]

I like OKP-7

[solid agate]

wait no

[hollow thorn]

He was asking about sniping lol

[solid agate]

its gluhar and raiders all spawn together

[slim dove]

runs better though it still dips sometimes, but that might be only at the beginning of the raid, still have to see

[solid agate]

cuz i see sup ash12 and american looking guy

[slim dove]

at least its gotten a lot better

[hollow thorn]

okay yeah take gluhar out first lmao

[honest shore]

1x to find a target, 6x to hit better.

[neat mist]

I mean scopes sorry

[solid agate]

im player scav so i cant

[quick dirge]

Ah

[solid agate]

but i still wana kill raiders

[quick dirge]

There's no good dovetail scopes

[solid agate]

mainly altyn guy

[honest shore]

Yeah, that was likely your issue. Now I would expect some frame stutters start of the game, and then smooth

[quick dirge]

Yep

Or with every scav wave

[neat mist]

how does pso scope look?

its cheap as hell

[hollow thorn]

shoot him leg

[quick dirge]

Turn RAM cleaner on

[somber rain]

Its alright

[slim dove]

and physical cores?

[somber rain]

Definitely not the cleanest

[quick dirge]

One post with chevron tip iirc

[hollow thorn]

not a fan, its got a VERY narrow range of view and you can't scope out

[somber rain]

But its pretty good

[honest shore]

And that goes for every game. Power saver is for things you don't care about only!

[quick dirge]

Idk, leave it default

[solid agate]

u think i can kill them with ps gs 2 mags and no meds?

[hollow thorn]

you can try

[solid agate]

and loot him fast enough to exfil on train?

[neat mist]

just wondering what I should put on my svds

[honest shore]

Would RAM cleaner help with 64 GB? I have it off since I'm not gonna use nearly all of it.

[hollow thorn]

train will honk once before it leaves, twice when leaving

[solid agate]

ye just honked once

[hollow thorn]

you got 60 seconds

[quick dirge]

Ah no PSO is good

[hollow thorn]

go

[neat mist]

also since I think I should start burning my money whats good for sniping? probably under 100k total

[honest shore]

You shouldn't need that. You CPU is decent enough if I recall. Intel 5 right?

[quick dirge]

It would. Oh! Check ram frequency!

[solid agate]

damn

[slim dove]

ryzen 5 3600

[solid agate]

that was fun i guess

wait that was scav gaurd

[neat mist]

wait so you think I should try it out?

[solid agate]

how many does gluhar have

[honest shore]

If you want bolty, mosin. If not, I've heard the VPO-209 recommended

[quick dirge]

Go for it

[honest shore]

3200 MHz

[solid agate]

i saw like 7 guards then

[quick dirge]

Yeah you can't rly improve

[honest shore]

Yeah. Shouldn't need RAM cleaner then right? It just would lower performance.

[quick dirge]

@neat mist Click 'change zoom' button for toggle scope illumination

[quick dirge]

Yes, it's fine.

[neat mist]

also whats the difference between these?

looks identical but first two are double the cost of the third

[honest shore]

I'd imagine reticle

[quick dirge]

Ah, prob reticle

Gimme a sec

[solid agate]

one is NV

other 2 are just big zoom scope

[neat mist]

it doesnt say nv anywere

[honest shore]

I don't think any are NV.

[neat mist]

you mean this?

[solid agate]

ye

[neat mist]

also isnt this like hot trash

[solid agate]

yes

[honest shore]

Any night vision scope defeats the purpose of night vision. If you have to aim to see a target, you have to aim everywhere.

Thermals are the same, but they actually give you superior sight compared to eyes so its useful if you know where to look.

[hollow thorn]

6

he's arguably the toughest boss to fully defeat

his guards are armed to the teeth and so is he

[honest shore]

Now kill him 100 times for outfit

[solid agate]

ye

i thought they were raiders cuz there were so many

i killed the one with altyn but missed the train doors

then i died

[quick dirge]

Hover over image for a second or check filename to check which scope

[solid agate]

also scav bosses dont really attack scav players anymore or maybe my karma is high enough (3.2)

[honest shore]

Most I've managed to kill was 4 guards+ a random scav near New Gas, reshalla or whatever

[hollow thorn]

Reshala is a good one for ez mone

[honest shore]

I think it is at 4 or 6, but there is a point.

[neat mist]

so they are basically the samew

[solid agate]

im at 3

[hollow thorn]

karma 6 means they become passive

[solid agate]

and they dont attack me

until i attack them

same with raiders

[hollow thorn]

but normally they won't attack you unless you get too close

same with raiders

[honest shore]

They have an agro distance, and it gets lowered

[hollow thorn]

^

[solid agate]

ive been in raiders faces before

[honest shore]

If PMC they will attack if they see you

[solid agate]

oh i see

lowered to couple of feet?

[quick dirge]

The chevron on PSO 1M2 while illuminated is a little whiter

[honest shore]

idk

[solid agate]

i was one cardboard box apart

from gluhar

[honest shore]

Give him a kiss

[quick dirge]

Small differences, it's all personal preference

[honest shore]

Honestly, its all whatever you loot or costs the least. Such small differences.

[quick dirge]

1M2-1 just has bigger chevron and different range chart

[honest shore]

I assume range chart is for 6 foot tall? For human targets?

RPG-7 has a range chart the size of a tank, so can't imagine it is uniform.

Oh 1.7m, its printed right there

So yeah, average human height

[quick dirge]

I don't really understand the height charts tbh

Like

What does '10 8 6 4 2' mean

[honest shore]

So it has a base height, and the number above indicates range in 100s of meters. If they are 200m, the average human will fit under that 2. If 400 they will fit under the 4, and so on.

[quick dirge]

I think the 10 on either side is wind speed?

Ah

Riiight

And then I can zero the scope

I wonder if it like

Works

I should test with a doorway

[honest shore]

That's windage yeah. And some sights have a speed indicator for moving targets, but usually that's more vehicles.

[honest shore]

You can't zero the scope, but you can use it to calculate drop. If the sight can be zeroed in tarkov then you could do that yeah, but I don't think you can do that.

[quick dirge]

You can

PgUp + PgDn

[honest shore]

Ah that's very useful then, thanks.

[quick dirge]

It's what the number in the bottom right is for

It's the zero distance

[neat mist]

aight where are the most scavs at on woods

[honest shore]

I figured that showed default zero and you couldn't change it.

[quick dirge]

Most rifle irons are 100m. 0 is on shotguns or guns with no sights

[crystal oracle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/903670548721188885/916825127570788372/unknown.png

My loot for factory :)

[quick dirge]

Pistols are 25m or 50m I think

[honest shore]

And keep in mind a doorway is taller than the average person, so it will be an estimate not an exact.

[quick dirge]

Yep

[neat mist]

imagine if doorways were exactly the average lol

[honest shore]

Tall people would suffer. And their average is pretty short lol, I don't think it is actually average.

[neat mist]

that moment whne you shoot a scav 10m in front of you and he literally disappears into a bush

[quick dirge]

What if scope has multiple zooms?

[honest shore]

If you are zeroed the scope will account for that usually. Unless you mean the chart, in which case use the lowest zoom I believe.

Test that to make sure though, I'm not certain.

I only know how to use it for RPG-7, which has no zoom.

[mortal whale]

I Guess tarkov decides when i crash or not

[toxic blade]

should i just sell my entire lucky scav since wipe is apparently coming soon
not like upgrading my hideout/crafting is gonna be useful soon

[honest shore]

You might get some good barters, and wipe isn't 100% confirmed so be careful.

[neat mist]

floating loot

[quick dirge]

So that should be around 220m

[honest shore]

Offline has floating loot regularly, I think its to help you map loot

[inland marlin]

lol

[neat mist]

its a feature not a bug

[quick dirge]

This says around 150m

I'll zero for 200m

We'll see

[toxic blade]

aight ty

[honest shore]

Supposedly, but its obviously much closer than that.

[elfin elm]

you get pretty good at eyeballing things after a while

[quick dirge]

Alr, the thing is wrong

It's 200m

Mmmmaybe?

[elfin elm]

not nececarily wrong

[quick dirge]

Ah

Nvm

I'm dumb

[elfin elm]

lol

[quick dirge]

It's going above the above the reticule at 200m

[elfin elm]

oops

lol

[honest shore]

Again, using a door isn't a great metric. It's going to be larger so its going to sight oddly.

[elfin elm]

also, we're gonna have to relearn all our distancing in 12.12

come new balistics

[honest shore]

If you find a scav it would be a better test. Especially sniper scav on top of white tower

[elfin elm]

also, zeroing is bullet dependant

[quick dirge]

Yeah, seems like just under 150m

[honest shore]

Muzzle velocity makes a difference, its only an estimation.

[quick dirge]

In-game auto adjusts depending on bullet and gun

[elfin elm]

each gun's zeroing is set for a specific gun

for instance an m700 is set to zero with m80

[quick dirge]

That's why if you zero for 200m with red dot in VAL it vanishes

[honest shore]

Now zero 500

[elfin elm]

it doesn't exactly

[quick dirge]

It goes very low

With RFB + M80

Barely moves

[elfin elm]

the rfb is set for zeroing with that round specifically

but if you used m61

and zeroed

the bullet actually goes slightly higher

[honest shore]

It will auto-adjust a sight, but a sight cannot be programmed with a drop from specific bullets or attachment configurations, its set for the most basic loadout possible.

[quick dirge]

Hmmm

[elfin elm]

the only thing zeroing does with sights is make the reticle go higher to compensate for distance

[quick dirge]

I swear it auto does bullets

Which bullets have less drop?

[honest shore]

To account for this consider a bullets muzzle velocity.

[elfin elm]

higher velocity ones

[quick dirge]

Someone check with subsonic pls

I wanna make sure

[elfin elm]

the only gun that auto-adjusts which bullet the zeroing is set for

is the GL

with either grenades

or shotgun rounds

[neat mist]

can you get up to where the sniper scavs are on sniper rock

[quick dirge]

Will sniper scav spawn with low scav amount?

[quick dirge]

Nope

[honest shore]

Drop depends on velocity and mass. So a heavy AP bullet will drop, and a slow hollowpoint will drop. Speed is the most impoprtant factor.

[neat mist]

literally flyhacking

[elfin elm]

on woods?

[honest shore]

On woods? Yes.

[neat mist]

yes

[quick dirge]

Oh, Woods

[neat mist]

you can?

[honest shore]

You have to become a mountain goat

[elfin elm]

mountain cache you can get on

[quick dirge]

I was thinking of mf Customs

Yeah Woods you can

But you need really high strength

[neat mist]

sniper rock on customs?

[quick dirge]

Or stims

Idk

[elfin elm]

the only rocks you can't climb on woods are edge of map rocks

[honest shore]

I do it as a noob. You just need to know pathing.

[gusty sluice]

When is the wipe?

[quick dirge]

Thursday

[honest shore]

Speculated 12/12, not confirmed.

[quick dirge]

Sometime soon

[neat mist]

how so?

[elfin elm]

you don't have to jump once if you know the pathing

[quick dirge]

These 16x scopes are really something

[honest shore]

I know the path that leads up to bunker from the rockfall, and I still jump but I might not need to.

[quick dirge]

Why do they go up to 24x?

Now that's just too much

[elfin elm]

those scopes aren't useful

[merry dust]

At all lul

[elfin elm]

the most zoom you need is 6x

[quick dirge]

Ooh here we go

[honest shore]

Zoom brother. 24x is better if you see your target already, and they are far. It is diminishing returns though.

[elfin elm]

I think one or two of them are bugged too

[elfin elm]

no, it's just garbage

[neat mist]

oh I found it nvm

[elfin elm]

the jump from no zoom to ads

[gusty sluice]

Which Thursday

[elfin elm]

is too big to even keep the target you spotted initially

[honest shore]

In tarkov there's not going to be engagement distances worthy of 24x, but if you were to engage very far then its not worthless.

[elfin elm]

and if you did manage to get him in zoom, if you increase zoom, the reticle shake makes you lose them

[honest shore]

Spot out of scope. If you spot in scope you will be limited.

[elfin elm]

I'm saying the animation of adsing makes you lose the guy you spot

[honest shore]

Not if they are at about 300m. You can probably track them there or beyond petty well.

[quick dirge]

Right, so

Exactly 1000m

[honest shore]

Not if you orient yourself to scope directly onto them.

[elfin elm]

have you tried before?

cus it doesn't work

[honest shore]

No, not 1000m at all.

[honest shore]

Not in tarkov. In other games yes.

[quick dirge]

Yeah def not

[elfin elm]

tarkov is different

[honest shore]

Yes I do concur with that.

[elfin elm]

the scope actually covers youir vision while adsing

[quick dirge]

I can conclude it prob doesn't work in-game

Maybe

Or I'm using it wrong

[honest shore]

I don't know how you are using it, but IDK how you got 1000.

[elfin elm]

it intentionally makes you lose your target if he moves more than 3 inches

[honest shore]

Can you VC?

[honest shore]

In tarkov yeah. You are going to be way too close.

[quick dirge]

What do I make of this then?

[quick dirge]

Nope

[honest shore]

Unless you want to shoot a pixel.

[elfin elm]

the scope is entirely useless in tarkov

[honest shore]

Put the actual chart over the target. Fit is as best you can.

[quick dirge]

Fits perfectly into '10'

[honest shore]

In tarkov yeah. You'd need to be aiming across the map.

[elfin elm]

no, aiming across map makes you lose the guy unless he stays entirely stationary for an entire minute

[honest shore]

I must be getting the measurements wrong then. Maybe 10 is 100m instead of 1000

[elfin elm]

your scope sway is larger than the person you'd aim at

[quick dirge]

Gonna read a guide real quick

I think it's for Arma 2

Ah well

Should work here

[elfin elm]

what gun are you using?

[honest shore]

It shouldn't matter for the gun, that will affect drop but not actual distance. Only the size of the object in question matters. If it is 1.7m hen it should be perfect.

[elfin elm]

zeroing is simple

zero to 100m, aim at head, shoot

did you hit where you aimed? good, your zeroing is fine

if not, increase zeroing by one notch, try again

repeat

[honest shore]

Yeah but using that chart to range provides a more accurate first shot

If you can use it correctly.

[elfin elm]

not really

[quick dirge]

This is 400-500m

[elfin elm]

too many variables

[quick dirge]

I'm trying to figure out how to use the chart in a way I get 400-500m

[elfin elm]

ignore the chart

use ingame

the chart will be wrong more often than it will be right

[honest shore]

Only variable is size of the target. 1.7m is the standard. The chart is probably wrong in-game.

[elfin elm]

getting your ingame judgment right is more important

[elfin elm]

scope, bullet, gun, and distance are all variables

each changes how the zeroing works

tarkov is not other games

[honest shore]

For zero yes, but not for the chart. Chart is static and only uses height.

[elfin elm]

get used to eyeballing it, and you'll have the most consistent results

[elfin elm]

also

sniper is not at the same elevation

[quick dirge]

Ohhh

There's a 12x on the scope

That might mean it's zeroed at 12x

Which this scope doesn't have

[honest shore]

Yes, but that changes distance. So it accounts for that.

[elfin elm]

more than half the high powered scopes are bugged in one way or more

if you want a high powered scope

use the vudu

that's the most zoom you need

[honest shore]

That's probably it tbh. If its a 12x zoom that guy would be much taller. Should fit in the 200 slot, which is your distance based on that sniper calculator (The tower is North of bus stop, not sure how you get 500m)

And remember that North is South and South is North on that map. It is true North.

[quick dirge]

Yes

so down

Oh this gun has 2 MOA

[elfin elm]

wait, are you trying to use the notches in teh scope for checking distances?

[quick dirge]

No the bottom chart

[elfin elm]

in teh scope picture though right?

yeeeah, those are cosmetic in tarkov

[honest shore]

Wait no it's wrong, it is 400-500. I misinterpreted the map since I use another one lol.

[elfin elm]

those are VERY wrong

[quick dirge]

This is even more confusing

[elfin elm]

do not try to use the scope notches to try to figure out any distances

[quick dirge]

Unless it's also against average person?

[elfin elm]

you'll just wind up more lost

[quick dirge]

I'm literally just tryna figure out if they fucking work dude

[elfin elm]

they don't

[honest shore]

I think it is safe to say they don't

[quick dirge]

Hmmm

Lemme try PSO

[elfin elm]

sorry to say, if I had known that was what you were checking

then I could have saved you the headache

they no worky

[honest shore]

It looks like the tarkov devs copy pasted the charts and drop indicators, but used custom ballistic models. So they don't work.

[elfin elm]

correct

[honest shore]

If they lined them up one way or the other, then they would work. And if the chart is copy pasted, and the correct zoom is on, it should work regardless. For raw distance.

[elfin elm]

I believe that technically there is a specific bullet+gun combo you can put the pso on

and it's really close to correct

but you have to use the exact versiuon of the scope with the exact bullet and gun

which is really not useful

[honest shore]

The chart would still be wrong, since its 12x zoom chart on a 6x zoom gun, but the drop indicators might be right.

[elfin elm]

I'm not saying it works corretly

[honest shore]

At least that's the best reason I can see rn.

[elfin elm]

I'm just saying it's accidently right

in a very specific instance

[honest shore]

Yeah. I see what you are saying. Just clarifying.

[elfin elm]

yeah

[honest shore]

Shame those charts don't work. The guns are so well modelled that would be a nice addition.

[elfin elm]

the sighting charts on the scopes aren't properly set to any bullet and trying to figure out it's setup for each gun and bullet

is just too much effort

if we had a way in menus to select the bullet and gun teh scope and zeroing was set for

it'd work

[honest shore]

The chart is for raw distance, not for drop. Its supposed to be a quick assessment of distance for near-fleeting targets.

[elfin elm]

but that's not in the game

[elfin elm]

in theory an easy fix

but theory is not always as easy as it should be

as lot of the scope pictures are very different compared to irl

both for balance reasons and for distinctiveness

[honest shore]

Very easy. I could make one actually lol. Just give me a range where I can see 1.7m tall targets and you draw lines for each distance.

And you would have to know distance beforehand on each target of course.

[elfin elm]

for it to be a correct image that'd work perfectly fine

but being correct isn't the only variable in how they make their scope pictures

[quick dirge]

How tf has I never realised Holosun has a built-in laser

Nice

Will do nicely on night raids with RFB

[elfin elm]

cus it's not the best red dot as is

[honest shore]

Yeah, but if they were going for realism they would have it be a 12x scope and that chart would be accurate.

[elfin elm]

it's not bad

but not a great red dot

[quick dirge]

Saw Holosuns were half price so I bought quite a few

It's prob one of my fav red dots

[elfin elm]

holosuns have a kinda chunky frame

not for me

[bold kernel]

i prefer the T-1

[elfin elm]

I prefer the leopold deltapoint

[honest shore]

The sight with a laser in it I have is terrible. Point blank knowing where your muzzle is pointed only. Shooting at the laser would miss pretty hard once you get any distance.

[bold kernel]

also a good choice

[elfin elm]

perfect mix of reticle and frame

either that or the good eotech

or the razer

[quick dirge]

Which one is it?

Also yeah, that's the deal with any laser

[honest shore]

And the laser isn't very visible. Its a low-level green laser

[quick dirge]

But RFB has no tactical slot

[honest shore]

I forget now, I lost it. It was HSOS I think.

[elfin elm]

holosun

[honest shore]

Most lasers are semi-accurate to a degree, as they are parallel with the barrel. The sight mounted laser is only point blank, and the laser isn't even bright enough to see it unless you look at a wall of concrete.

[elfin elm]

personally I'd rather have a reliable fantastic red dot and ads, than an okay red dot and a subpar laser and try to point shoot

[honest shore]

I agree.

[quick dirge]

400m

[elfin elm]

if you can get a normal red dot on a gun those are usually good enough to point shoot if you know how much to compensate for and at what distance

[quick dirge]

Maaybe 500

Let's see

[elfin elm]

but I'll usually just use the IR flashlight and point shoot blind reticle

cus I used to play payday

[honest shore]

That one looks more accurate.

[elfin elm]

I doubt he's that far away

[quick dirge]

Hmmm

Nothing I shoot hits

[elfin elm]

yep

you're going over his head

[neat mist]

anyone want to play?

[honest shore]

If its a good red dot just know your dot will be a couple nches off based on where you have it, and account for drop. HSOS is vertically and horizontally offset, looking in at an angle.

[quick dirge]

Nope

[elfin elm]

which makes it inaccurate at less than 50 meters

[honest shore]

Yeah I'd guess its more like 450 for that reason, and if he's same spot as before then its about right using that sniper map he used.

[honest shore]

Yes.

[quick dirge]

300m zero distance is just about not enough

[honest shore]

I would say even less than that

[quick dirge]

I'd say

320m

I think

Weird

[elfin elm]

if you zero for 300 and shoot the silo

[honest shore]

Well zero isn't a good measure of range remember.

[elfin elm]

does it hit above or below your aim?

[quick dirge]

At 300m below

Would be nice if I could zero to 0

[elfin elm]

and at the next highest?

[quick dirge]

There's no higher than 300m zero distance on PSO-1

[honest shore]

Sure, I can scav or PMC. PMC isn't very kitted.

[elfin elm]

then I guess the pso is decently close to working by accident with your particular setup

[neat mist]

3 11

[honest shore]

Use the sniper map to verify

[elfin elm]

I'd have to know exactly where he is

and where the sniper is

[quick dirge]

Yeah it's 320-330m give or take

[elfin elm]

and the bullet

through yoursetup

's pretty good

[quick dirge]

Unless that really is like

500m

[elfin elm]

yeah that's the problem

[quick dirge]

Halfway between the first two chevrons @ 300m zero

[honest shore]

If you are where you were before its about 400m, and then vertical distance matters too. You'd have to calculate.

[tropic minnow]

Hey, how often does eod go on sale?

[elfin elm]

you can't check the measuring scale without using the zeroing system

[elfin elm]

maybe every 2-6 months?

[quick dirge]

With the chart, vertical distance shouldn't really be an issue

[tropic minnow]

ive been wanting to buy it for a while, but i havent seen it go on sale

[quick dirge]

Since that will be reflected bc guy will be smaller

[honest shore]

Yeah, its not. But the map you use does make it an issue

[elfin elm]

what tier are you?

[tropic minnow]

@elfin elm do u remember the last time it went on sale

[quick dirge]

There was 20% off on Black Friday

Might be one for christmas

[honest shore]

Black friday

[elfin elm]

about 5 days ago

[tropic minnow]

wait what wtf i missed it

[elfin elm]

yep

[quick dirge]

Yep

[tropic minnow]

OMG

[elfin elm]

sale ended the 27th

[tropic minnow]

bruh that was my birthday

LOOOL

[elfin elm]

big oof

[quick dirge]

390m headshot

Weird

[elfin elm]

for your particular bullet, that was pretty close

[tropic minnow]

guess ill be waiting

do u think they will have sale on wipe

[honest shore]

So the scav is either shorter than 1.7m or the chart isn't very accurate

[quick dirge]

PS

[elfin elm]

could always go up just one tier lvl

[elfin elm]

ak?

or sks

[quick dirge]

SVDS

[tropic minnow]

im standard, id rather just buy straight to eod

[elfin elm]

that checks out

pso was standard issue with svds

[elfin elm]

going from standard up one lvl

adds another, like, 20 inventory slots

[quick dirge]

_>

[elfin elm]

to your stash

[quick dirge]

It's 23:50

Should I like

[tropic minnow]

i upgraded to lvl 2 stash

[quick dirge]

sleep

[elfin elm]

maybe

[quick dirge]

hmm

[elfin elm]

next wipe is around the corner though

[quick dirge]

Nah I wanna investigate scopes

[elfin elm]

and then that progress regresses

[elfin elm]

it'll just give you a headache

[quick dirge]

And... there's fog

[elfin elm]

the visual info has no accurate way to measure it

well, there is a way

but it's not worth it

you'd have to check the zeroing of every bullet and every gun

to define the zeroing correctly

so then you'd have an accurate measurement tool to check the visual markers on the scopes

or

just eyeball it ingame any time you take shots

[quick dirge]

Chart would check out

If

They were like 1.50 or 1.60

They were like 1.50 or 1.60

Or wait no

Yeah

[honest shore]

Chart is accurate pretty much on that one.

[quick dirge]

They're not 1.7m at least

[primal breach]

my friend got a run through as a scav

lmao

[honest shore]

That's at 390m right?

[quick dirge]

Yes

[primal breach]

why does the bullet

[quick dirge]

I'm assuming each chevron is an additional 100m

[primal breach]

go to the left

[quick dirge]

?

[primal breach]

why is the scav's head

on the 4

the bullet will go into the tree

[honest shore]

The dash is on the 100, chevron's differ, usually they are marked

[elfin elm]

they're using the marking to try measuring, not to try shooting

[quick dirge]

Lemme try

200m zero

Should be third chevron

[elfin elm]

this is still kind of an exercise in futility

[quick dirge]

Nope

[honest shore]

But chevrons are usually marked based on ammo, for instance an MBT chevron is usually 300m, 500m, 800m, 1200m, etc.

[quick dirge]

Fair

[elfin elm]

you can't check the markers to see if they're right unless you zero your gun and fire

and the zeroing and bullet drop

is different per gun and per bullet

:/

[honest shore]

And in MBTs it can change based on ammo for you. Very nice. But your sight doesn't have a built in ammo calculator.

[quick dirge]

What if it's not meters for whatever reason

[honest shore]

Then it will probably be Nato feet. Usually Nato does every 100 feet.

[elfin elm]

my point still stands

[honest shore]

Unless it clogs up the sight too much.

[honest shore]

Yes

[elfin elm]

why bother with the headache?

[quick dirge]

Nope

[quick dirge]

Intrigue

[honest shore]

Nope? K

[elfin elm]

I guess that's fair

counter point though

sleep

[quick dirge]

OH I KNOW

I'm an idiot

He's above

Shit scav blacked my arm

[elfin elm]

counter point though

get some sleep?

[quick dirge]

He doesn't fit like this... buuuut...

Looks about right

I'll try get bridge spawn

Or from shorter range

It checks out at 200m

[bold kernel]

Could I have some help?

[elfin elm]

have some help?

[bold kernel]

Sorry

i was watching a video while typing

[toxic blade]

got this kit off a dude in factory w just a vector, gg shit 2 ez

[quick dirge]

Misjudged where his legs were for first shot; will try again

Was idiot; went 250m when he was 230m so first shot went over his head

[merry dust]

ahem

tips

make sure your durability is 100/100

[quick dirge]

Yes

[merry dust]

or like 99

[quick dirge]

It is

1.03 MOA

[merry dust]

and instead of like

whats it called

using htat thingy

[quick dirge]

Not sure you can get better

HTAT?

[merry dust]

just zero yourself

[quick dirge]

Listen

I am testing

Mr chad man

You wouldn't understand

Well shit

I guess I have an SVDS now

Um...

[honest shore]

Surefire flashlight any good?

[quick dirge]

Any flashlight is fine

And p much the same

With the exception of that fucking huge one

[honest shore]

Which one literally blinds people?

[narrow gull]

2u is pretty powerful but no laser

or u2

[toxic blade]

is it worth insuring this

it's like 70k to insure and someone is most def gonna take it

[narrow gull]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Zenit_Klesch-2U_tactical_flashlight

from me 2u

[quick dirge]

Does reloading in inventory increase sniper rifle skill?

[honest shore]

If you think you'll die to scav maybe, but if you're running that probably won't die to scav

[narrow gull]

define reloading in inventory

[quick dirge]

Right-click 'unload'

Drag onto gun

[honest shore]

Someone told me yes earlier. Maybe you have to reload outside of it but you can unload into inventory

[elfin elm]

almost always worth

[toxic blade]

bet

[elfin elm]

what if you get head eyes by a scav in a random spot?

super likely it'd come back

[narrow gull]

actually idk but it's easy to check

[honest shore]

Headeyes in an altyn?

[elfin elm]

sniper scavs can sun svds

[tall hatch]

Do you get positive Scav Karma if you use the paid Evacs as a PMC?
Or do I have to scrape up 5k roubles on a scav first?

[elfin elm]

or just get legged

[honest shore]

PMC helps it too

[tall hatch]

sweet. thank you

[elfin elm]

you have to be preforming an animation using your sniper in the world

no in your menu

[narrow gull]

yea, you get karma from vehicle extracts as pmc

[quick dirge]

Ah

So how

Into inv

[honest shore]

So unload into inventory, then reload in the world

[elfin elm]

if there's an empty mag in your bolty

[honest shore]

That way you don't lose ammo, and can do it longer

[elfin elm]

you can breach load plain rounds

[quick dirge]

Shit

I brought a sling

[elfin elm]

bp?

[quick dirge]

Wait

I can just

reload

It'll eject onto ground

I need to pick up after tho

[elfin elm]

no no, don't do that

[narrow gull]

you just bring like 40 rounds and it'll be enough

[honest shore]

That's why you unload into inventory

[honest shore]

^^^

[narrow gull]

or bring sv-98 with 2 mags and reload infinitely

[unique steeple]

20 round m700

[elfin elm]

m700 with a mag in it that's empty, reload bullets until the mag is full, then remove the mag empty it in inv, put empty mag back in

repeat

m700 is the best option cus it's the only sniper with 20 round mags

and also super cheap scav rounds

[unique steeple]

if u use cheap bullets and unload the gun outside of ur inventory is much better

[elfin elm]

both are fine

if you do the mag cycle

you can use good bullets even

cus you won't lose them

[quick dirge]

Oh that's interesting

[unique steeple]

if the point of ur raid is just to sit and reload u can just do that and extract

and repeat

[quick dirge]

Bullets drop relative to map north

[unique steeple]

thats how i got mine up

[quick dirge]

Or something like that

*always the same orientation

[honest shore]

They should just kick out to whatever direction the gun ejects.

[crystal oracle]

Easiest weekly Ive gotten lmao

[quick dirge]

Yeah but the orientation

[honest shore]

I've never seen a bullet go somewhere else.

[quick dirge]

Or at least, when reloading Mosin

[elfin elm]

bullets are tiny

[quick dirge]

It spawns at your feet

[elfin elm]

why would you ever try to pick them back up

[honest shore]

If you reload in a place that's flat its not hard

[elfin elm]

it's tedious, a waste of time, and not worth it

[honest shore]

but yeah, not worth

[quick dirge]

I need Sniper 3 for Jaeger

[elfin elm]

it is when you're picking up a bunch at once

[elfin elm]

then just use cheap bullets

[narrow gull]

i'll just up this

[solid agate]

is hte sniper reload glitch still in the game

where u can lvl up sniper skill by reloading

[elfin elm]

it's a feature

not a glitch

[unique steeple]

thats not a glitch

lmao

[solid agate]

true

its a feature

[elfin elm]

it's legit

functioning as intended

[quick dirge]

The Tarkov Grind

The Tarkov Grind

Not even gonna heal after DC

[crystal oracle]

What you guys think of this weekly?

[quick dirge]

It's literally 00:47 rn

[elfin elm]

make sure you exit raid via any source other than timing out

if the timer runs out xp goes poof

[unique steeple]

rewards are alright for what it is

[quick dirge]

What about DC

[crystal oracle]

I mean 30k xp

[quick dirge]

Oh I can do bridge

[crystal oracle]

Thats alot just for that

[unique steeple]

is that good for ur lvl

[crystal oracle]

ye

[unique steeple]

i get around 60 for a daily

[crystal oracle]

Im only lvl 27 lmao. your like lvl 50+

[unique steeple]

which is cool as well

[crystal oracle]

Higher level = more xp

[elfin elm]

plus what tier you've managed to get dailies to

[unique steeple]

u are correct

but still

[crystal oracle]

Wym tiers

[unique steeple]

30k for a weekly is not that much even for u

thats 2 labs raids

[quick dirge]

When do XP gain debuff reset?

[narrow gull]

5 minutes

[crystal oracle]

Its alright for what kind of quest it is

[quick dirge]

Bruh wtf

I make like

[crystal oracle]

T plugs I can craft

[quick dirge]

2-6k a raid

do u kill raiders

[quick dirge]

Other maps

Ah

Raiders

[unique steeple]

yea

[quick dirge]

Right

[unique steeple]

raiders

[unique steeple]

true

u gonna go interchange for em?

[crystal oracle]

Idk ive found them on reserve and factory

[unique steeple]

honestly u could do 10 in 2 raids if u go interchange

[crystal oracle]

true

dont feel safe going there tho lmao

[unique steeple]

fair

that shit wild

[solid agate]

bulbs can be found at techlight etc

tplug is kinda same thing

if u are super desperate there is a craft for it at wb2 but its really bad
