Oh shit thanks
sks is good for woods?
I followed a video but it didn’t work
For scav kills an OP-SKS with a PSO sight and a 20+ rounder works wonders
can someone help me understand why i cant put my m4 parts together?
you need to go to woods and get the note. To unlock him
i know
What seems to be the issue?
Where do you use the key RB-ST
?
i have all the parts but it wont let me combine
1.Mising parts 2.Some are not compatible 3.some need to go in a before others
All items have a description, I'm sure if you read it, it'll tell you what room it goes to and where.
I have no idea what I am doing wrong for Gunsmith - Part 14 here. Any ideas? I think I used all the items he requested and got the stats....
I don't think the info are updated and correct @lusty valley
well Ik that most work
hey guys i just bought the game im lookin to learn to play with some others
if it's RB-PSV2 key, it's on Reserve Map on the underground bunker at hermatic exit
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/images/8/86/RB-PS82_lock_location.png/revision/latest?cb=20191213132720
Thanks so much.
1.go claim your scar gift from eft webpage
that has some stuff you can sell if you ever need
oh cool
In case somebody missed
Skar guoood
If my friend buys tarkov rn will they get the gift
As long as the gift is going on then I believe so
How long?
are psu good to get?
I don’t know exactly how long probably a couple days
not rly
ait thx
I’m thinking to New Years
hey i am new to the game and nearly first timing it, is there any chance i could get some assistance?
i am from EUW btw
Why is this taking so long?
if it is taking a while it probably just wont go through as a transaction.
How do you get Christmas ornaments for tree?
So am i just supposed to wait? or cancel it?
yea, I had that happen so I just used pay pal and did not run into that issue
@bold kernel Copy that, Also to double check if you know, If i upgrade my standard account to EOD, Will my stuff get reset or no?
Safes and other valuable spawns I believe. I haven’t seen any yet though
you do not have to reset your account I'm 98% sure
Alright, ty
Why extract thou when you can go get more fat
kk thx
Also looks like I don’t have my cabin key anymore
Yo >1000dmg absorbed by armor on 1 guy is ridic
Hex grid or some over powered armor maybe?
Anything to know when starting out? Actual useful information
Alt + b can be used to check firing mode without making too much noise in case you can't remember if you are on full auto
Absolutely
so how do we find xmas decorations?
Can someone tell me if this ammo case given for christmas will be removed after the next wipe or is it a permanent gift?
how do you use the hotbar :/
like put stuff in it and move stuff around
literally no answers online other than 'dragging' but that just doesn't work
The christmas gifts will be removed when the next wipe happens but it is unknown whether you can redeem it next wipe like the last gift was
thanks
You cant hotbar anything. It has to be accessible, i think on your rig or pockets
If you have something in your pockets or rig like meds or a grenade or something you can press 1-8 to have it as a quick use
V123 is not editable but 4-8 is i think
Yeah
can someone help me with my fps in this game
super super low on a good pc

hmm
I tried lowest and highest graphics and got the same fps
does this video address it ?
if u die with the christmas beard on do u still keep it like ur armband?
is hideout worth upgrading
is there any sort of key case? i have way to many keys clogging my stash
doc case
sicc case
keycard holder
keytools as well
and keytools
wdym stuck
i cant navigate my way through that dumb map
well try running it offline see if it helps you navigate
if you have the compass, following 180 will always get you to the shore, which is easy to navigate
alrr
when my character is all fucked up an swaying his gun around like a maniac, are the bullets following the gun or the center of screen still?
Quest is along the shore. Dont run offline that is dumb af. Learn on scav runs to the map. Also mapgenie will help you a lot.
Check mapgenie I do not know scav extracts
how is running offline 'dumb af'?
it's a great way to just do a quick run around and get a feel for an area you don't know
You are facing it keep going that way till you hit water
without any interruption
does anyone have a guide on early game looting? i cant find one that doesnt need me to buy keys worth millions on the flea. i just have no idea where to look for loot while in a raid
Huge waste of time though, Boring, and doesn't teach you much about player movements or give you any relevant experience. If you are committed to running across a map for no other reason than to run across the map then like I guess you do you.
Standard if you're just trying it out, EoD if you really like the game
Especially a waste of time when resources like Mapgenie exist
got it@
I mean for someone semi experienced I'd agree but for a new player it's a great resource
Mapgenie is definitely very helpful but sometimes it's hard to connect the map with the visuals if you are brand new
Yes
You pay the difference between the editions
I mean
You're in an EFT dedicated server
is the ump good i am using fmj ammo
so vast majority will tell you yes lol
Yeah but you learn them faster when you have to connect the visual to the map. I dunno I would never recommend offline for anything but aim drills on hoard mode. You don't make any gains from it but you do you I guess.
tarkov but that's because I don't enjoy valorant or similar games
they are very different types of shooters
Valorant sucks ass. It is arcadey though. If you want arcade shooter valorant. If you want a realistic hardcore shooter tarkov for sure.
sounds about right
Lmfao do not trust VOIP
Also you will die. A lot.
Tarkov is one of the best recent examples of a game that encourages you to go through the school of hard knocks
VOIP = ingame proximity voice chat
stands for Voice Over IP
something like that yeah
cancel and retry lol
No and there will not be
what do I need to do
it shouldn't get that high unless it's either bugged or you don't have many servers selected
cause honestly im lost
Get a sherpa.
whats that
Experienced players that volunteer to help new players
Or struggle. Die a lot. Question life. Question your will to live. And die for 500 hours before becoming OK at the game.
bro the mk 16 is insane
Try to learn Customs and one other map besides factory when first starting off IMO
Customs because that's where a lot of the first quests are
is the ump good
im playing customs
i am using fmj ammo
yes
and its so difficult because of everything thats around me
Gun is phenomenal, Ammo wont pierce a lot of armor though so be careful.
Take a look at this, very useful
You can filter out all the loot icons and other things
headshots with ump is key
what ammo should i use i am lvl 6
FMJ
FMJ
seriously, number one tip in tarkov though
don't take dying hard
because you WILL die many times
if you take it badly, you won't enjoy the game period lol
try to learn from every death
and just soldier on
how I get these?
i died right next to dorm-vex
Very dangerous spot
@tight ember Oh damn, is the tree existent again? You get those randomly found in raid
so they can be found in raid just like any other item?
Yes, I think they are found in the same containers/spots Valuables spawn
Could be more than that though
damn im bout to go back in a few
i lost both my pistols
one m4
ammo and some satchels
Welcome to Norvinsk comrade, make Daddy Prapor proud
whyd u bring 2 pistols
what should i do with labs cards i am dogwater so i dont want to go to labs and dont have anything good but got really lucky and have 4 of them
i would sell 3 and keep 1
sell to therapist if you're absolutely sure you won't use them
ohh
Do as Smiley said, keep 1 so you can go labs and learn the map offline
i bought this game knowing it was gonna be hard
didn't think it was going to be this hard
ok
Its dark souls for multiplayer shooters
should i sell the card holder?
Labs is an absolutely incredible map for loot and PVP, but with hard emphasis on the PVP lol
I wouldn't
all storage is useful
roubles are easy enough to come by once you get into the swing of things
love a challenge
mechanic for you to know about btw if you get low on gear
always bring at LEAST a chest rig along with some sort of firearm
if you don't, you get marked similar to 'Tagged and Cursed' in the offline mode
aka Scavs will bumrush you
and being new, will likely deck you
did they buff sniper scavs? the game feels unplayable once one of them locks on me if i don’t have a rifle
They did, they made them actual snipers
tbh I like it even though I've been boned a couple times by them
makes you have to take them seriously
I love it
Thats how it should have been from the start
i’m still level 8 and trying to do eco runs so i kind of hate it. but yeah i see what u guys are saying, im sure i’ll come around once i have some guns
we'll see about that youngblood 
Few hundred hours but yeah I believe in you
New to the game as well?
Supply plans VS Kind of sabotage?
from all previous wipes it was p much always Skier to choose, so Kind of Sabotage
IDK if they changed anything this wipe though
fair warning
is there anything better i can get?
AP
for now should I go in with my scab
Not for now
second wipe, last wipe i was max hideout with btc 3 full
when do you think i could get something better
Ah, apologies sire 
I've played many wipes but never got near that far
Ill tell ya in a sec
Really?
you’d probably clap me in game, i just played like an economist
what
i have alot of junk and dont know what i should keep for tasks and hideout
You have never been that far?
Nope. Usually ended up petering out around level 4 therapist/level 3 all other traders
Peacekeeper level 3
Ah. I usually start playing the game once I get max traders.
yeah last wipes I usually also played mostly with friends
Anything before max is just work. Get to play when thats done.
I've been solo a lot more this wipe so I'll probably do more
I have been running with my same duo for 7 wipes.
unfortunately my duo guy doesn't like the game to the same degree I do
that's why I've been warming up to solo
i don’t recommend max btc farm, i basically saved like 25mil for solar and all the graphics cards, then just quit because i had nothing else to grind for. woulda been a lot more fun to run down 25mil in kits and spam labs looking back
There’s currently 2 people
Having a fight
Right behind me
THERES ANOTHER
IM PRONE IN A BUSH
ITS A 2v1
Dont make any noise lol
I ONLY HAVE A CROWBAR
Continue not making any noise
BRO
dont move a muscle.
THEY ARENT SHOOTING AT EACH OTHER
Perfect
LIKE THEY ARE AIMING IN AND STUFF
Keep hiding
Sounds great
Keep doing what you are doing
You either die or you dont.
Dont make noise or you for sure diue
Do u reckon I slowly crawl away
no lmfao
I think my legs are sticking out
thats soooo loud
LOL
Do you think someone will trade a RB=ST key for a black keycard?
you are currently experiencing the tarkov rat fly on the wall phenomenon
anyone got tarcone key??
Anyone by chance have the west 306 key and willing to take me into it? Need to get it for a quest
still a terrible idea in the situation but they did make slow prone crawling much quieter, especially on grass
Just wait it out
inb4 you're getting psyched out by scavs
They would’ve shot me
NO
IM EXHAUSTED
IM DOOMED
wat
oh, food
I was like "how the fuck did you manage to run out of stamina in a bush"
The More You Know ™️
Now I’m stuck on the roof
Of the shoreline building
With no star
Stam
And no food
And I just died
But I got my task
😏
Any new folks wanting to team up?
It sounds like you are the 3 stooges condensed into a single PMC
I was certain it was pmcs tho...
I heard one running behind...

And then two came from infront
And I could hear them aiming
But I was looking other direction so
protip for your future, scavs turn in place a lot more than most pmcs ever will
anyone want to teach me a few things ? New to the game still but into fps/shooters 😄
Istg they didn’t turn
so if you keep hearing the distinct "spinning in place" crackly noise its scavs
I'm down for some squading up. 🙂
No like
I know that
But there was no sound
Can someone help me with this pament issue?
@warm shore sure, can you DM me the channel you are in ?
well then you done got memed by the locals
Is their any sort of very important controls or settings I need on? Just got the game lmao.
i put my weapons on 3 and 4 instead of 1 and 2
im sure theres more optimal control layouts
im new as well
Ah, btw is their a faster way to inspect ground loot? When I go to pick it up I have to right click and click examine or summin.
middle mouse i think examines it on click
i would take you through a raid but i dont wanna get you shot LOL
Lmao I ain't even on atm just got off 😂
noice
In the inventory, middle mouse inspects
Ty
oh yeah ty skyman yeah when u hover over a piece of loot u can scroll down to examine it or something
yep
while in FPS mode
scroll over interactables changes how you'll interact
for items its just Pick Up and Examine if you haven't examined it before
The only place rn where it gets more complicated is keycard scanners on Labs
ohhh so can I breach an unlocked door on the first try 100% of the time? like for rushing/pushing purposes?
need to pick which card to "try" on the door
You can but rn breaching is rarely good unless you're just having fun lol
locks you into being directly in front of the door
gotcha they should make it more viable
agreed, no idea how they would do it though
only reasonable thing I could think of is it deals some sort of damage to someone directly on the other side but even that's kinda weird to implement
well what exactly is the intertia mechanic, could it somehow be applied to breachers to give them a buff?
like extra inertia
inertia is all with movement, the thing is Breaching locks you into a prebaked animation of kicking the door open
different systems entirely
though worth mentioning
there are a few breach only doors in tarkov
the most notable being the small room inbetween the locked door and the main office in Factory 3rd floor apartments
ohhh yeah i think ive seen that door
also one behind the Tarcone Director's key door
so it can be breached repeatedly until it opens?
Nah I mean like
you can't open those doors normally
if you want to open them, you need to breach them
yeah so u just breach and it opens or does it take a couple tries
1st one
They have said in the past that there will be multiple ways of opening doors
so it would be interesting to see them make doors have some sort of HP/integrity & reinforcement system
yeah i would just like to see some type of breach mechanic thats better than opening a door and backing away
people have brainstormed being able to lockpick or breach locked doors without the key but with certain equipment
but it's all up to devs how they want to do it
yeah i think maybe on a new map, a basic fallout 3 lockpicking on certain supply rooms for low reward would be kinda fun
naah, a lockpicking minigame like that wouldn't really jive with the rest of the game
why
lol
i dont want it as a feature it would just be kinda cool if theyre gonna brainstorm lockpicking idk
IMO because there isn't anything else like that in the game, it's a big tone and mechanical shift from everything they've done up to this point
yeah I'm not just shitting on the idea
I just don't think it quite fits
when u put it that way it seems to fit just fine theres like tons of keys and locks and sneaking aroudn and stuff it would be liek a whole new way to 1 tap the rats
most ppl just think of everything in terms of streaming anyways so idk what ppl want to see i just think of whats actually fun
when is the last day to claim the new years gift?
Is there a way to display fps in game
~ key, fps 1
Ty
Yo guys, what's a good value vepr hunter variable zoom scope?
If i upgrade my edition do i need to reinstall
No
IIRC you get the new case/whatever else from an ingame message
can someone help me with somthing in a call all beginner calls have alot of ppl
how come people say interchange is a good begginer map? Won't you just get shot by high geared pmcs because the map has many loot so its very competitive?
that’s all maps lmao
there are highly contested areas like any map but the map is so big you can avoid players a bit easier than some others
no matter what you will have chads
Where to find the mp133 shotguns got the scav kills already
oh I see also where are some low contested areas around the mall
I mean true I guess but there are maps more intense then others
Outside the mall with secret stashes are pretty much only contested by other stash runners
Parking garage with a bunch of weapon boxes and loose loot is low risk
ah I see
is anyone willing to help me learn this game like one on one
Goshan/Idea are low risk compared to OLI
What does the gold crown mean by someones name
ah kk thank you
means they are EoD
Edge of Darkness edition
Thanks
is there any quests that need this? otherwise I just want to sell it
no
you cant sell it on flea though
just use it
Im just going to sell it to ragman
pain
not enough skill to hold it
how do i increase spending with prapor, skier, jaeger, and pk without loosing too much this wipe?
i just bought and sold back to them
yeah but what lmfao
i got 11k $ 😦
I think skier buys some silencer back at good price and also streamer items
had to buy from flea to sell them to skier since I have problem raising his trust level aswell
bro everytime i get into a raid i die in the first minute
my luck in this game is awful
nonexistent even
sometimes tarkov just be like that
pk: if u have flea, study the price of intel items
prapor just insure your shit lol
sell gunmods to skier
sell barter items meds rare items to jaeg
yuh. too scared to use my m4's so im using scav guns...
m4s
haha yea grammar
m4s are dogshit if you are shooting m855
is ammo super important
yes
id rather a pistol with good ammo over m855 m4
thats how dogshit that round is
damn
yh
thats why the mutant is so strong
when you are new you should be avoiding fights
what is this section of the gun used for?
the bullet
you can have 30+1
oh
okay okay I see
so just avoid fights and loot?
why avoid
take fights and learn
gotta get that extra 1 bullet 😩
no avoid fights and do quests
@mellow sleet so u dont go poor im guessing
if your doing quests then yh
i do
because new players have neither the loot nor the skill nor the equipment to take fights and win
you shouldnt be fighting when questing anyways
thats the best way to learn imo
just surviving
dont take fights when questing ofc
unless quest is about fighting
but the rest of the time you should
just pistol run quests?
you can take geared guys with a pistol if they dont have faceshield
nah youll have an easier time bringing stuff
ight
tbh the best way to learn by fighting im not even sure about that
being new to t his game sucks
you cant just throw a new player into a harsh pvp environment and expect them to learn yk
steep learning curve
best way to learn mechanics
I think its smart to learn positioning maybe avoid fights you cant win engage in fights when you can
not just fight all the time
telling a guy to go pvp when he has 0 understanding of weapons and ammo, lol
not going to go well
yeah
i need help finding a gas analyzer
what if he loads warmage?
i had to learn everything on dayz
alot of stuff to learn first
craft them
needs to be found in raid
fortunatly this isnt that difficult\
craft is fir
Crafting counts as Found in Raid
because 90% of the headshots you take as a new player your gonna miss
oh word okay, i dont really have much to upgrade hideout tho
However, GA can spawn in any loose tech spawn now
lol sounds like a tarkov motivational
what are good maps
you just need workbench 1
lol
90 of the shots you do take, you will miss. get fucked. tarkov
Reserve and Interchange are what you want for gas analyzers @spare imp
all
yes that is true
okay okay thanks yall
Reserve: Black Bishop & White Queen, Interchange: OLI shelves @spare imp
number 1 spots
kk thank you!!
also any tech store in interchange, they're contested but so is OLI lol
whats best map for tool boxes then i just need scews and stuff for bench
interchange
lots of toolboxes & loose tool spawns in the back warehouses of the main stores in Interchange
also lots of toolboxes on Shoreline
bettt
pretty sure gasans only have global spawns this wipe
so wont spawn in containers
correct AFAIK
We see this to the end
they will only be on shelves and shit
not this wipe you haven't
^^
What’s with the red default pfp gang
what is a good scope for opsks
what up with the back pfp
PSO is the automatic cheap go-to
what range?
long
If u look closely it’s not just black + that’s racist + cancelled
the 4x24 one?
yeah, dovetail scope
Is their a way to change toggle walk to hold to walk?
welp
HA
no gif for me
No, capslock toggles between minimum walkspeed and your at-the-time chosen walkspeed, otherwise you need to scroll the mouse
AFAIK anyway
which do i take
press is better
but
but both similar
I mean they pretty much fill the same niche of a scav shield that repairs very well
and lighter
Press repairs a bit better
green just has more dura
not by much though
both are class 3 but i dont know if its like weapon penetration
where you have a gun with 'class 3' pen but in reality its like halfway between class 3 and 4
just take which you want
if you get what i mean
Armor Class is mostly what you're paying attention to for that, but also the durability of the armor vs its max durability
No I mean in the picture @mellow sleet
I can explain in generic terms:
Armor A and Armor B are both Class 3, A's max dura is 50 and B's max dura is 80
Why did my eye see 4 durability 💀
Armor A at 50/50 is better than Armor B at 50/50 because B's max dura is 80, so it's calculated as damaged rather than full durability
the important part with dura is remaining % from total, not absolute durability
Very much
if you want to min max that much
thought so
yeah that, that's what I said put in a nutshell
fun fact, having a nearly/fully zeroed class 6 armor on is worse than having no armor at all
Lmfaoo
when i accept a insurance return do I have to get all of the items at the same time?
One bullet that’s it
No
No, the rest will stay until their time expires
i mean in the sense that you are just being weighed down at that point
ohhhh thats good cuz my stash is so full :0
but id keep it to repair
thank yall
Not even just that, bullets don't fragment against an unarmored target 😛
Is this scientifically proven
you have a higher chance of getting 1 tapped in a broken slick than in your sunday best
IIRC I got this tidbit from Veritas a while back, it's just the way the game calculates damage and penetration
i found a gas analyer then gave it to my friend on the same raid
That’s double the bullets
I never said it mattered much, but it is worse
and he put it in his gamma and died but i says he cant turn it in
I’d rather get 2 tapped than one tapped
why
Fair
if he died it's because it's not Found in Raid
so he had to make it out with it
oh
you gotta live
i found that and a gpu right next to each other in green screen room on customs
yep that's a good spot
under that desk spawns loose tech
not to mention the two PCs on/under said desk
i got a gasan from green screen room
Factory quests are making me raging! I know..... Have to get gud but aaaaaaaarghhh
at least for me using saiga 9 on factory slaps
which ones
super cheap loadout so you can just manufacture them
Magnum Fuck is never a bad choice either
Got the pmc kills on office area and chemical part 3
and also friends from the west
saiga 9 and 3 banana mags is like 25k
SO I'll do everything.. I'm spamming. Now i'll try simply go with pistol and see
- maybe 3k worth bullet
don't burn yourself out
do some fucking around/loot runs on other maps if it's frustrating you
I know.. But have to finish at least friends from the west. I need to get that done so I can advance nicely in my quests
you can always do some sniping if you want smth more chill if you are really dedicated to tarkov
i might be wrong its not map specific kills
if i remember right
Yea it's not.. But since I got that office kill quest would be nice to have both 😄
fair enough
I'm greedy but it's ok... have to empty my stash anyway 😄
is the RB-ST key worth selling?
It's my 'chill' time... But raging at the same time 😄
i think you should keep it
this is what is behind it according to the wiki
lots of valuable stuff
if I put an item in my pouch does it not count as a found in raid item anymore?
I have 4 salewa and the medic acts like as if I only have 2 for the quest. Any idea?
do the say that they are found in raid?
ah ok, 2 of them yes.
if you die
if you put it in your container and survive the raid it stays as found in raid
but if you die and keep it cos its in your container its not found in raid anymore
is there any trick way to scale off of the radio tower on Shoreline (the one with the safe and filing cabinets) without taking serious damage?
can you try another payment method?
my mission is bugged i dont have the post since i died with it and the game thinks i still have it and i cant get it back or give it to therapist any advice?
maybe you need to contact the company that handles the payments for EFT
when I'm doing my Scav runs I have a hard time telling other Scavs from players from a distance. Any tips? Because as a Scav, if I shoot other scavs I aggro the rest correct?
Clothing
Look for identification
Badges
Etc
I would delete that, you have a lot of card information here.
Ah ok.
theres another 4
And the expiration.
People keep telling me to use good ammo, but what is good ammo for each weapon?
whats good about the expiration?
Look at the ballistics wiki.
Where
You need to know the expiration to buy anything.
oh
On the internet, just look it up.
@honest shore this is beginners assistance
All the links are expired
this link
Yes, I gave you assistance.
Thank you @stray pagoda
Imagine a beginners chat where the assistance is “figure it out yourself screw you”
Smh
I told you the exact place to go to what.
I'm midgame so I can't give you a link.
me dying with my 14th flash drive
Yes "Tarkov ballistics" on the internet.
where can i get an sks mag?
buying off a third party website is against tos and the game can get removed from your acc
PK sells a 20 rounder.
10 rounders are on jaeger but dont take multiple in raid, theyre internal magazines
thx
@warm totem
the keys are meant just for gifts, bsg doesnt like people reselling them
It's in the ToS that you can't do that.
You aren't allowed to make any real money off Tarkov, nor can anyone else.
Anyone willing to run factory with me? I need the xp
theres also a chance he wont get banned 😈
A relatively small one. If your game key links to one with the payment information that website uses insta-ban.
yeah but ignoring the big ban chance is some serious sigma male shit
That's 100% a scam. "100% postitive feedback"
Hey, I built the Mp-133 shotgun for Gunsmith quest but I can't turn it meet all the requirements
post gun pics
Screenshot
what do i do with a flash drive?
KEEP you need them for annoying ass quests
It sells to peacekeeper and you need it for a quest later I think.
kk thx
do not sell fir flash drives before finishing those quests you will regret it
i genuinely need help completing a raid other than factory, i cant make it out alive of anything else
Indeed. but if you're done with the quest that's what it sells best to.
Go offline and learn extracts, probably your issue.
If you survive factory then you should be fine pvp wise
i know extracts for reserve i just cant make it out
Reserve is a very hard map. Try customs.
customs is a better idea to learn early
reserve is just loot, pvp, and late game quests
i find it more complicated but yea ill learn it
Where do the Screenshots go again?
Just here works.
its more useful since it has good loot and TONS of early quests
i always get amazing loot just get killed on my way to exfils
thats the issue lol
reserve is hard
i might do a factory run to grab some more guns
just use your scav on any map if you want free guns
going factory with a knife is just death
yeah ima do that, should i do customs or factory?
its good to use scavs on maps youre learning so id say customs
alr gotcha
Update 2: One last kill for firends from the west and 4 remaining for office area
Pistols only
yeah i have it pulled up in my browser ironically LOL
ironically?
as you show it to me i was about to pull mine up
lmao u good
i thought you meant like "i have that map open as a joke" lmao
make sure the one you have is the current version btw and has this part in the middle
i learned with a map that didnt have that and it was really confusing
oh ok
Whats that for?
wdym
Oh map for customs lol.
@whole thistle this is my scav LOL
finally got it
good rig kinda shitter gun
fr
whats some good ammo i can get for the sks that isnt PS ammo i am lvl 7
looks way less cool tho
functionally better
its like a wannabe l96
thx I was going crazy
BP or BS is relatively common to loot.
Also it needs a GK-02 muzzle brake.
minus the fact l96 are nato 308
where about ammo i can buy from tradors
then yeah probably
None. Just PS with low level traders.
Also it has too much recoil.
Which ammo is the most effective when using the VPO-215? I know the weapon itself is not very strong, but I would like to know which bullet is the best to use with it.
AP
I figured. I don't have access to those rounds at the moment, so what is the second best?
honestly couldnt tell you
the ammo is so garbage i never keep 366 weapons
i just sell them straight away if i dont leave them behind in raid
Alrighty, well thanks anyway
how do find ornaments
Yeah, that too lol
hey guys i need a team to run with on custom
What does Insure do?
Any gear that you insure will be returned to you within a day or two after you lose it in raid. However, if someone kills you and takes your gear that was insured and they extract with it, then you will not get that gear back.
Oh
How much do you make per Scav run on average ?
Couple hundred thousand typically.
The cost of the insurance depends on how valuable the gear is
Its this
It's usually pretty cheap
@prime sapphire How do you do that? I get mostly 95k to 120k 😂
Reserve runs are very profitable.
True
Its AVS and Pilgrim
Interchange can be as well. Also woods and shoreline stash runs can do you well.
eko is second best
If you right click on the item in your stash, the drop menu should have an "Insure" button. Click that, and then it will tell you how much money it would cost to insure it.
Thank you!
it's also the default zeroing round, so your zeroing will always be on target
EKO is not worth using unless you are using the bolt action and garaunteeing headshots.
I've been using the VPO-215 lately and have been enjoying myself, so I was just making sure that I'm using the right stuff, lol.
This is being claimed by someone who uses EKO and the VPO bolty all the way through even late wipe. But it requires a high degree of accuracy to pull off.
ap-m is like almost 170 m/s slower than eko, eko is great for sniping, ap-m is awesome for spamming with a 209
Very true. Which is not always easy
YEah depends on situations. As a sniper Its not too bad. if you are more chaddy I imagine its harder to pull off.
i was actually surprised to learn that vpo is almost on par with a mosin in terms of moa
If I were forced into a close range encounter with another PMC, I'd be fucked
i always considered it inaccurate
Its a good sniper. Just doesn't have ELR capability.
I forget, what is MOA?
minutes of angle
For mid and Mid-long its great.
Minute of angle
Sorry, but I'm still kinda confused
Its a measurement of how much the bullet can deviate from center crosshair over distance.
Oh, okay. Perfect way to put it, thank you
Less means your grouping is tighter at long range.
Typically more importiant for dedicated sniper rifles or DMR's
Still a good thing to know about any gun if you intend to use it beyond its average ranges
I plan to now that I know its importance
For instance my AKM DMR has a higher MOA and so I account for inaccuracies over longer engage distances.
how good is merin car key compared to ultra medical?
in tarkov you usually only go up to 100-150m unless you're trying to snipe on purpose, at that range moa of most rifles is enough
but if you start trying to take on target at 200m+(like rogues on lighthouse) it becomes pretty important
I have a lot of 700m kills on my record so it tends to be something I pay a lot of attention to
I want to learn how to properly snipe from that distance because it seems like a lot of fun
Durability effects accuracy and MOA as well heads up.
It is very satisfying
Gladly Battlestate introduced the rangefinder which is very helpful with zoning
Noted
I don't zero personally. If you don't snipe a lot don't worry about it it is fine.
I've only hit a moving target a handful of times, but each time I did it felt very rewarding.
If you are NA I would be happy to show you the ropes sometime.
I am a 7th wipe DVL one trick. :3
im trying to do gunsmith part 2, i did it exactly like on tarkov wiki, but i can't fold it and its wrong for some reason
i need help
I can play right now if you want
You are not using the Wiki are you?
I am not on tonight. Family is here. On my phone rn
Alrighty
i am, i used it on previous wipe and everything worked, what else should i use that works this wipe?
I follow the 12.12 specific gunsmith youtube videos
Wiki hasn't worked for me for 3 wipes now.
You have to take that stock part off. That part is preventing the gun from being able to fold.
The 6G15U has to be removed
guns not above 60 durabilty i believe it needs to be
Men is right its the rubber stock butpad
yea i got it thanks
what level therapist do i need to buy labs key cards? i thought it was level 3
Maybe it's unlocked through a quest from Therapist?? If not that, then it might be max loyalty]
okay i got it, still the wiki is dogshit
I've been using the wiki for most of the beginner quests lately and I haven't had any issues
i just installed the game, haven't even played one game. Someone mind helping me?
hey guys i have a daily quest from therapist to hand over "emelya rye croutons" which i picked up in raid a few raids ago. i don't seem to have an option to "hand over". any idea why? it's in my stash...
What would you like help with?
do the baubles spawn in stashes?
Does it have a checkmark on the item?
idek, Im just going to see how it goes
it does not
Best beginner advice I can give is, "DO NOT get too attached to your gear." You are going to lose it one way or another
That would be why it cannot be turned in. Did you put it in your secure container and die with it?
correct, that's exactly what i did
do i have to survive the raid in order for the item to be valid to be turned in?
Okay, then that's the problem. If you find something in raid now, put it in your secure container, then die before extracting with it...the item will lose its "Found in raid" status.
I've had a lot of luck with finding the "Emelya Rye Croutons" in the big wooden ration crates on Reserve. Maybe you can find some there
