[magic niche]

with my brother

[craggy mortar]

what region are you?

[magic niche]

genau wie du

EU

[craggy mortar]

nice

[median robin]

east coast US

[craggy mortar]

ok but i have to restart my pc give me a sec

[robust sorrel]

Is the new MMAC rig good?

worth buying?

[merry dust]

Probably idk

[robust sorrel]

cuz its only 40 dur with garbage material

thats what bothers me

40 dur with poly

[merry dust]

high molecular weight polyethylene is the best..

[robust sorrel]

isnt it like 0.25 multiplier?

[merry dust]

And dura is relevant to the ACTUAL dura

[merry dust]

what?

in cost?

it repairs second best

armor steel best

[robust sorrel]

no I tought it breaks faster

[merry dust]

material doesn’t have an effect on that

wait

I’m trippin

[west solar]

Anyone want to play? I

[merry dust]

IM TRIPPING

[west solar]

Im brand new and really want to get into this game

[merry dust]

eh it might

[robust sorrel]

cuz buying m2 for only 80k seems more logical

than payign 100k for MMAC

60 dur with titan

[merry dust]

is mmac

T4?

[robust sorrel]

yeah

[merry dust]

Cause if so go for m2

[robust sorrel]

it looks cool though

only plus

[merry dust]

Like a slick

[robust sorrel]

yeah I like its color

shape to

m2 was my favorite last wipe

[obsidian lintel]

should i buy .366 EKO

or .366 FMJ

[mild mirage]

will u lose rep for killing the scavs on the tree ?

[quaint onyx]

i would say fmj

[obsidian lintel]

aight

[quaint onyx]

if you can use ap-m

[obsidian lintel]

nah i dont got trade

r

[cerulean hawk]

anyone wanna team?

[robust sorrel]

@merry dust So I was wrong. UHMWPE is the best second durable material. the best being Aramid.

[merry dust]

ya ofc u are wrong

ez gg

[robust sorrel]

I got naey naeyd on

[obsidian lintel]

L attitude

[icy quartz]

Anyone find an RB-smp key yet?

I dont see one on the flea

[quaint onyx]

might be barters

[merry dust]

I’m joking bro

ratio

[obsidian lintel]

breh would someone say L attitude unironically?

[robust sorrel]

I'm here having 4 mil and be scared to buy a single weapon nowadays. surviving is stressful recently.

[patent wagon]

same

i have like 8 mil and dont wanna build a gun

[whole thistle]

Gear fear

[patent wagon]

yep

i have eod and my stash is full -_-

[robust sorrel]

I thought I overcame that long ago, but it's been crawling back to me ffs.

Maybe because I haven't done PMC raids in some days now.

Gonna become a huge scav IRL soon

[obtuse rivet]

Anybody mind jumping in a disc call and explaining weapon modding? just hit 15 and looking to get more into it

[patent wagon]

sure

[whole thistle]

Get vertical recoil low without killing ergo too much, that's kinda it

[patent wagon]

its not too hard

[obtuse rivet]

jump in LFG Reserve #20

since other ones are full

[robust sorrel]

Chad formula btw

[round wing]

anyone down to run some raids later?

[grizzled isle]

anyone know any cheap thorax protection vests

kinda like 6B23-1

as its acquired by trade, cant get it

[robust sorrel]

My fav is m2 for budget. Lvl4 rig only 80k rn but price keeps jumping between 120k - 80k day by day. If it's more than 100k, avoid it.

It's also has a lot of space with good durability for what you are paying.

[grizzled isle]

im looking for a memey looking armor

[robust sorrel]

Ahhh

[kind fractal]

does any1 have the keys for golden swag and operation Aquarius? if so can u help me with those tasks

[grizzled isle]

like something that i could add a mandible to with helmet making it look like a turtle

[robust sorrel]

Than anything on flee will do it that looks like a scavs turtle shell.

I hate those, Instantly sell them

They are actually good

[merry dust]

Would I say ratio unironically

[robust sorrel]

I just wanna look tacticool

I'm probably the only person that ironically buys the back MSA helmet to use it.

[grizzled isle]

what is its name?

[robust sorrel]

There are a lot just check the body armors, not rigs

They have very meme names so I can't remember

There is a very bulky looking lvl4 body armor that protects the thorax and stomach. It looks funny when worn, a real 🐢.

[grizzled isle]

the bois, is the armor the one i got on that youre talking about

[robust sorrel]

Yeah that one

[grizzled isle]

what luck

on a scav even

[robust sorrel]

You look like you are about to get head toped though

[grizzled isle]

aye

TOZ superiority though

i remember creating a slug TOZ sniper

[robust sorrel]

Jesus good luck at shooting someone

[grizzled isle]

actually killed a guy wearing Tagilla helmet and vest, shot the back of his head

[robust sorrel]

Sounds like a tarkov moment

[normal shale]

Hideout is expensive af this wipe ;-;

I just spent 4 mil upgrading 5 things

F

[robust sorrel]

Just wait it out for some weeks it'll cheaper than hell

[chrome ferry]

What guns should I be using starting off? I’ve just been using guns I get from my scavs when I extract as them

[normal shale]

level 3 vents and med station hurt me physically

[grizzled isle]

if only i had recorded tho

[normal shale]

I know this, but the investment is worth it for me, just.... Painful. :(

[robust sorrel]

I would strongly advise against using scav weapons as they are 50ish durability which means your bullets don't even go where you are aiming.

[chrome ferry]

Better off selling them and buying better durability guns or

[grizzled isle]

any tips on getting level fast so i can open flea

[robust sorrel]

That's what I do. At least you'll get used to one type of weapon and it will be 2 times more reliable that what garbage you are rocking from your smelly scavs

[normal shale]

Tasks will carry you to level 15 in 2 days if you play them carefully and efficiently.

[grizzled isle]

the customs is a problem as even using a map i cant find shit there

[digital sable]

If I get a scav shotgun at any durability, I’m throwing some magnum buck into it and running factory naked

[grizzled isle]

relatable

[chrome ferry]

Fair enough, don’t think I’ve survived a raid as PMC yet, made it out of a few scav raids, only got my pc for Christmas so I’ve no M+K experience

[robust sorrel]

This is a chad move, but only works on shotguns

[normal shale]

Do you struggle to read maps? Or just figuring out where you are on the map? What kind of issues are you encountering?

[digital sable]

I also used to buy damaged Vephr Hunters for 8k on the Flea then run Factory with a 5 mag of M80 too. Much less effective

[grizzled isle]

kinda both

im using map genie for the stashes and so

[robust sorrel]

Nowadays I just build a cheap ass vector and rush corners to get murdered or dominate.

[digital sable]

There’s just something satisfying about running kits that are so garbage your opponent wouldn’t bother looting if they kill you while you’re able to kill them with decent odds

Like I’d take 1 scuffed kit chad kill over 5 wins of fair fights

[chrome ferry]

Should I not run a shotgun? Last time I used one it wasn’t really doing much damage

[robust sorrel]

The anxiety attack you get when you use m995 on a naked pistol runner with 1 extra mag just in case he gets to shoot it.

[mellow sleet]

depends what ammo you are using

[potent parcel]

Anyone know how i am to complete samples taks? ive crafted the ones i can but I havent even seen half of the required stims before

[mellow sleet]

just get lucky

[obtuse rivet]

Whats the best way to get peacekeeper lvl 2 from 1?

[mellow sleet]

labs is a good bet if you have black card

its not kappa so its fine

doesnt lead to any other quests

[digital sable]

I will 100% mag dump anything that moves so running top of the line ammo gets expensive for me

[robust sorrel]

The damage on even 7mm is insane but only if you shoot in the legs or head which is a 1 tap no matter what as long as they don't have a glass shield.

[robust sorrel]

Same saaaame

[chrome ferry]

Alright grand

[robust sorrel]

There is no leg armor so if you have Magnum ammo, which is the best flesh DMG 12g, you will 2 tap them in the legs

[late prism]

Hey guys , I just bought the game 2 days ago , been playing in Hong Kong server but the matching is a bit lengthy. I try to enable Singapore server but it does not allow me to check/click it. Can I get any information on why it might be happening ? What is the threshold i have to be to click the server?

[robust sorrel]

Though have to be very close origjt take 3 - 4 shots

[normal shale]

lol fair enough

[left summit]

Advice for first time going labs? i have 4 access cards and 1 lvl away from lvl 15 then i can buy good gear

[mellow sleet]

run it offline a couple times

at least until you know the extracts

also never repeak the raiders

[obtuse rivet]

Whats a fast way to reach lvl 2 peacekeeper?

[chrome ferry]

Just done a scav raid, there was about 5 dead bodies in a hallway but no one else around, confused

[left summit]

What you mean ?

[mellow sleet]

the raiders are the ai on labs

[quaint onyx]

are you missing the money requirements?

[quaint onyx]

selling stuff to him also counts

he buys guns and stuff

whatever you loot or get from scavruns sell to him first

[chrome ferry]

I got a full durability saiga from a dead body should I use that as pmc?

[olive oracle]

where is the best place to find healing supplies in customs? Or is all loot generated randomly?

[rose trellis]

is there like some sort of inside joke where people will run around the christmas tree on woods

because i have seen it happen multiple times

[quaint onyx]

they are ai scavs

[quiet kraken]

it's scavs

[rose trellis]

why are they doing it

[quiet kraken]

idk

[rose trellis]

are they extremely religious

[quiet kraken]

easy free loot if you don't get blasted by a player

[quaint onyx]

some kind of satanic ritual thing

[quiet kraken]

i got a slightly modded ak 102 from there

MRS sight and angled foregrip

[rose trellis]

yeah there was some guy hiding under the bridge as i was trying to loot some of the scavs i shot

[quiet kraken]

i died before extracting

[fleet widget]

guys can someone help me do the find jager and usec and convoy quest please

[spiral mulch]

How the fuck do you do Mechanic's Intro Quest? Every bloody time, I either get killed from afar or by someone camping before I can extract with the note

[celest sage]

Do you guys think flea is stable enough that I should start upgrading hideout

[chrome ferry]

Hit some guy with three solid shots of a saiga, he ran into the room like 2 minutes later and one tapped me

help

[unique steeple]

metal parts are like 300k

[celest sage]

Saiga won’t do anything to armor if you have buckshot

[unique steeple]

sewing kit 300k as well

[mellow sleet]

scam

[chrome ferry]

685 damage dealt, 134 armour absorbed, how much health do players normally have ?

[fleet widget]

guys can someone help me do the find jager and usec and convoy quest please ssss

[unique steeple]

440

[celest sage]

440, are you sure you didn’t even shoot at a single scav

[chrome ferry]

It was the same guy

[unique steeple]

he couldve healed if it was a prolonged firefight

[chrome ferry]

Bright yellow hard to miss

Yea

[unique steeple]

man popped egtc

[chrome ferry]

He probably did

Oh well is how it is, I’ll just go again

What do earphones do?

[mellow sleet]

improve hearing

[chrome ferry]

Would of expected the opposite

I have a few pairs I’ll try next raid with some

[rain karma]

i hate this game

never playing with other people again

[chrome ferry]

Friendly fire?

[tender harbor]

can i buy a 60 round 55.6 mag of off someone ive been looking for one for a while and no luck

i need it for gunsmith 4

[rain karma]

no, i was in dorms, 2 guys fighting infront of me. couldve killed one dude easily , asking my friend if that is him infront of me, he says yes so i didnt shoot, 3 secs later this dude (which i thought was my friend cuz he said so) came into the fukin room and killed me cuz he appearently wasnt my mate

f this game

[wanton wren]

is there any way i can complete gunsmith part 1 without the gk-02 muzzle break

[rain karma]

fukin tired of constantly loosing my shit

[vagrant cargo]

the game is hard as a solo beginner 😔

[unique steeple]

so much pain and agony

really enjoying this

[chrome ferry]

I don’t mind the dying honestly

[fleet widget]

guys can someone help me do the find jager and usec and convoy quest please

[vagrant cargo]

Too much pain and agony I’m not enjoying it anymore

I have like 20% survival rate

[rain karma]

i do mind if i take my best stuff with me just to die cuz my mate has shit coms

[vagrant cargo]

how the fuck am I so low

Why am I so bad 😰

[whole thistle]

Yes

[whole thistle]

To be fair the average is around 33%

[vagrant cargo]

im below average

[rain karma]

mine is probably like 6%

[vagrant cargo]

which basically means I’m terrivle

[bold kernel]

Im new and wanna play costoms with my friednd

[whole thistle]

not by far

[wanton wren]

use the wiki, type in the name if the quest and it has a pretty good guide. use google or whatever search engine and look up an interactive map of woods. it helps with finding out where you are a bunch

[vagrant cargo]

I mean yeah but I’m also struggling with levelling up rn

I can’t do quests because I die

[whole thistle]

obv, youre new

dont be too hard on yourself

[vagrant cargo]

And also I have 0 luck tbh

Like I objectively have no luck

I haven’t seen a single salewa or syringe after going crackhouse like 10 times

[unique steeple]

thats normal

even good if ur a beginner

[vagrant cargo]

All I want is a damn syringe

[unique steeple]

mines like 38

[wanton wren]

neither does anyone. tarkov fucks everyone over you just have to accept it and use it to your advantage

[vagrant cargo]

yeah but cmon not a single salewa ???

too much ass fucking

[wanton wren]

try getting medstation

[vagrant cargo]

yeah I’m trying

[wanton wren]

u can craft them and they count as found in raid

[scarlet pond]

[weak anchor]

I haven’t seen salewas or suribges

Syringes

[wanton wren]

[bold kernel]

[vagrant cargo]

Man I’ve been doing not good

[unique steeple]

take a break

👍

[vagrant cargo]

NO BECAUSE ILL BE LATE

[coarse monolith]

is -0.65 fence rep too hard to come back from? lol

[azure dust]

[unique steeple]

already too late

[weak anchor]

Everybody wanna play a little game called guess that glitch?

[unique steeple]

[azure dust]

no

[wanton wren]

did u fucking massacre every scav in the game? lmao

[unique steeple]

do u have much money

[azure dust]

about 3 mil

[vagrant cargo]

yeah but then losing more time is a terrible idea

[rain karma]

one of my friends got -1 already

[coarse monolith]

@wanton wren dude lol im literally terrified and shot anything that moves unless it says cheeki breeki

and ive killed santa twice lol

[wanton wren]

you evil man

[unique steeple]

u can give it to prapor but then youd have to give skier a mil

[coarse monolith]

i couldnt tell until he was already aggro on me

[unique steeple]

or u can give it to skier

those r the best option

[wanton wren]

you can come back from it, it will just take time. dont kill any scavs and try hunt a few pmcs

[lunar hornet]

i have absolutely no clue how to play this game im playing with my friend and he also doesnt know what he is doing, is anyone willing to show us the ropes?

[azure dust]

appreciate it

[wanton wren]

he must have a personal mission to fuck himself over haha

[coarse monolith]

@lunar hornet i can hope in voice chat and show you guys some basics

[lunar hornet]

yea im down

[coarse monolith]

ummm lemme see if theres one open

[lunar hornet]

were in a priv chat

[wanton wren]

if he tell you to murder a guy with a red hat DO NOT LISTEN!!! hahaah

[coarse monolith]

@wanton wren lol

I DIDNT MEAN TO RUIN CHRISTMAS

[lunar hornet]

ill kill the guy ez pz broski

i killed 3 scavs circling a christmas tree though

[vagrant cargo]

NOOOOO

[rapid wind]

I have around 20k but my stash value is around 5mil, is this accurate? I am a hoarder and don't really know what to sell.

[grave lily]

can anyone help me and a friend we just got the game we need help learning the game and just need some help fighting and the loot spots

[summer goblet]

i would like to get late christmas present and get dvd

[wanton wren]

if your never gonna use the stuff, theres nit point having it collecting dust in ur inventory

[undone ore]

anybody tryna help me in woods?

[grave lily]

me and my friend can help you at woods but we are new to the game

[undone ore]

it's fine, i'm kinda new too but we can all progress together

[chrome ferry]

I killed two players on a PMC run and managed to crawl to the exit with my full body blacked out

Finally

[vagrant cargo]

@undone ore fortnite

[undone ore]

ye, wb it

[rough hare]

Do I lose karma for killing christmas tree scavs?

the ones that circle it

[graceful thicket]

How do people get there guns to a 100% durability? Do people buy guns from traders or do they like craft them

[brittle canyon]

both

[undone ore]

probably both

[graceful thicket]

Are guns from traders good?

[wanton wren]

theyre still scavs so i dont see why not

[brittle canyon]

depends

[undone ore]

buy parts from the market, then craft them

[rough hare]

im a pmc

but I lost rep for killing santa so

[undone ore]

for early game, skier's vepr-136 with bastion and a scope is solid

[graceful thicket]

Don’t I legit thought they were players I killed them and now I’m -60

[wanton wren]

eh?

[summer goblet]

yes.

[rough hare]

ik santa gives negative karma but these do aswell... sick...

[undone ore]

mb, accidentally hit enter

[graceful thicket]

I see

[wanton wren]

ah no worries

[undone ore]

if you're low on cash, the sks could probably be a good sub tbh. depending on the ammo you use

[vapid flume]

Do any of these "promo codes" actually work? I really dont want to spend hours trying to make the game near affordable

[flat cipher]

i mean if you were a day earlier there was a sale

also it is affordable

its cheap for a full price game

[wanton wren]

that makes no sense

[flat cipher]

yes it does

[vapid flume]

I mean eod, 25% off dont cut it for me when in total ima still have spent 115 dollars on this game

[undone ore]

ya'll think amazon prime would do a collab wit tarkov and bring in prime loot or sum twitch drops?

[flat cipher]

they do twitch drops

they start on the 28th

[potent parcel]

Anyone got shoreline key w306 for health care privacy part 2

[flat cipher]

theyve done it plenty in the past, too

28th-4th i think

[undone ore]

really? i've never seen them

[flat cipher]

cry about it ig @vapid flume

[undone ore]

i must be living under a rock 💀 i'll start watching stream sthe 28th

[flat cipher]

its a small company theyre not gonna bend to your will and make it cheaper and hand ou discounts to everyone

buying eod is supporting them

[wanton wren]

he’s asking? £50 is a lot for a game in 'beta'

[flat cipher]

no he's on about the upgrades

[jovial prairie]

youre doing too much

[flat cipher]

[vapid flume]

Ig you might be right, I don't see how im supporting them by giving them 150 dollars when they been out 6 years and still in beta though

[flat cipher]

fresh eod account

92 dollars

if you already own the game thats less

[daring stag]

I hate this stanta bullshit. He hides in groups of scavs and I keep mistaking him for one

[jovial prairie]

yea so annoying

[flat cipher]

if you dont wanna support them or pay the money, then dont do it

its not p2w

[jovial prairie]

santa legit hid in a bush like wtf

[wanton wren]

mabye he cant afford to pay that much for a game?

[daring stag]

Im allmost at 0 scav karma now

[jovial prairie]

hes talking about EOD not base game

[flat cipher]

^

[jovial prairie]

ive been spamming car extracts lol

[daring stag]

does the karma go down for those after so many times?

[vapid flume]

Its not that, I just want eod because this game feels practically imposible for me to get anything done on so Id like to be able to fit a little more loot in my secure container and take some of the benefits

[summer goblet]

santa is for scavs more rather than pmc

[flat cipher]

buying eod to make your life easier doesnt really help that

just makes you lazier

tbh

[wanton wren]

you would be better off playing standard for now

[flat cipher]

^

[wanton wren]

hes right

[heady snow]

EOD is worth it, the base game could realistically be a 120$ game, if they had released all the maps as dlcs, and your getting all future maps and content without needing to pay for it, even when they decide to do paid DLCs in the future, so it is worth it overall

[wanton wren]

it wont change much unless you are already good at the game unfortunately

[flat cipher]

^

most of the cost in EOD is for the future dlcs

not the in game content

[vapid flume]

Does it even do much? From what I read i heard it makes the game a bit easier

[chrome ferry]

What are the perks of upgrading the hideout?

[flat cipher]

meh

its a shortcut

thats kinda it

you get max stash and a big container

and like 1-2 quests worth of extra rep for each trader

and some extra starting gear

so, nothing you cant get by playing n standard

[vapid flume]

do you type 200 wpm on a daily basis how tf are you typing that fast

[flat cipher]

practice

[vapid flume]

you read faster too

[flat cipher]

yes

[heady snow]

just the stash upgrades alone your saving what like 10.3 mil

[flat cipher]

practice

[wanton wren]

basically its nice, but you need to be sure you enjoy playing the game first

[flat cipher]

it saves you a lot of money, thats kinda it

[somber summit]

Single liners are a pain tho

[flat cipher]

if youre shit at the game then eod doesnt help that yknow

not saying you are

get good > eod

[somber summit]

Eod is qol nothing else.

[flat cipher]

^

qol and dlc in 5 years time

[heady snow]

and the gamma container is so useful for getting needed items early gane/saving meds and bringing out more keys and ammo

[flat cipher]

but, you can earn other containers

and kappa, on standard

[somber summit]

Thats what you call qol

[vapid flume]

im not that bad at the game I just generally cant loose my entire life trying to get levels up

[flat cipher]

just focus on your quests then

you fly through levels if you get them done

[heady snow]

its actually pay for advantage, not qwuite pay to win, you save 10 mil roughly in stash upgrades, get to bring in more and save more, get more at start of wipe,. and you will have free access to the paid dlc that all standard accountsd will have to pay for anyways

[wanton wren]

at the end of the day eod really wont improve your levelling up or anything by much, its main attraction is future dlc

[flat cipher]

it doesnt make you better

is the main point

[heady snow]

doesnt make you better but definitely gives a major advantage

[flat cipher]

meh

[wanton wren]

minor

[flat cipher]

if you know what ytoure doing the advantage isnt that crazy

[heady snow]

like being able to bring in 3 extra propitals in a raid without risking it etc

[vapid flume]

Do you still get free standard edition gift

[heady snow]

or using extra 60 rounders pre loaded, or bringing 3 stacks of ammo, or extyra meds, or saving 3 hideout items you find extra in raid, etc

[heady snow]

what gift? like the starter items u get?

[wanton wren]

just dont miss or dont get hit

[vapid flume]

No i heard something about you get a key for a standard edition

[flat cipher]

nah

they sometimes give away demo keys

and just regular keys

[wanton wren]

you get some gear

[heady snow]

nah u just get an EOD account, you can upgrade from standard to eod and it only costs the difference

but yeah EOD being able to usew the gamma on every raid is a major advantage over the alpha, especially cause its every raid you have that extra space thats secured, early wipe espeically useful

[wanton wren]

early wipe eod does shine because if the storage soaca and gamma, mid to late game its meh

[flat cipher]

as soon as people get done with their quests its not an advantage

its only an advantage over people who arent doing their quests

[wanton wren]

yep

[heady snow]

its always an advantage, its extra space you get to use, like standard accounts cant even fit a surv kit up their butt lol

[undone ore]

still lookn for a group in woods, just gotta get jaeger's quest. ik the location, jus can't find an exfil

[flat cipher]

they can fit one

do quests, get a bigger container

[still hamlet]

will the food / drinks to fill it up and level up metabolism even if I am 100/100 in both energy and water?

[flat cipher]

dont think so

just take some into raid with you

[still hamlet]

damn

[heady snow]

personally i think spending a one time fee to make sure you dont have to grind your stash, container and get extra weapons every single wipe is definitely worth it and advantage over not spending it.

[flat cipher]

yes, but for those who cant afford to spend £120 on a game

arent at any real disadvantage PERMANENTLY

you can earn kappa on any account

[vapid flume]

yes thats why im trying to get eod and not have it cost a load, im not going to spend over 120 on a game that I cant even tell if its reliable or not

[flat cipher]

id say its worth it anyway

and now is the best time to get it

it wont get much cheaper than during a sale

[vapid flume]

so there aint no way to avoid spending over 100 in total?

[strong jolt]

Eod definitely worth it and also definitely not p2w or gamebreaking

[heady snow]

ive bought EOD once and the standard once and got gifted EOD once, its worth it, especially since your gonna have to spend on DLC down the road later, and having EOD will guarentee you dont have to pay for it, you dont know how much future DLC will cost, could be even more

[olive oracle]

What are keys for? I found 3 of them on my first pmc run but i dont know what they do

[quaint onyx]

isnt it on sale still

[quaint onyx]

you can check them on wiki

[strong jolt]

Different keys unlock different doors. You'll have to look up which ones you got

[quaint onyx]

theres tons of keys

[flat cipher]

EOD is also limited

they plan on making it unavailable at some point in the near future

[heady snow]

you can also buy standard, upgrade to left behind for 15, then to preapre for another 15 and then eod for another 25

[flat cipher]

it costs more to do that

bc of VAT costs

but, you can do it

but that also depends where you live ig

[heady snow]

yeah but its like a payment plan, costs more overall, but less at one time

[vapid flume]

I get it, but sometimes my taste for games changes weirdly and I cant spend over 120+ on a game

[rough scarab]

then dont buy it

[vapid flume]

what would the dlcs actually be

[flat cipher]

i bought eod and played one wipe

still worth it

idk, probably just maps

[heady snow]

its rumored maps and or modes, like arena mode, open world, seasonal characters etc

[flat cipher]

nothing p2w, whatever it is

[heady snow]

but could be play to play, like if you dont have eod or streets dlc you may not get on streets if it dropped as a paid for dlc

[vapid flume]

At a point where the make the game open world, if I have to pay for that Im not even gonna bother playing the game, so now I kinda feel like I have to buy eod or else its just gonna get worse for me

[heady snow]

well at that point it would be either pay for open world and get access to all maps, or you need to buy all the individual dlcs anyways to have access to all maps, so either weay the open world would be the final product, "all dlcs included"

[bold kernel]

why do i suck so bad.

[vapid flume]

Would the game get that restricted? It would feel like im playing roblox or some bs having to pay to even play the game, in a sense of I already have standard edition so I have the game already

[near cedar]

is there a guide on what i can sell to traders and what i need to keep

[agile grove]

when are they getting rid of santa

i hate this fucker with a passion

[heady snow]

well they said they will have dlcs, which would have to be either maps or modes, lets say it was streets as a dlc, so 19.99 for streets. if they had an open world you wouldnt be able to enter that open world, because streets would be apart of it, without buying access to it, so presumably the open world would be off access to anyone without the included dlcs, they wouldnt specifically make sure all EOD people know they have access to future DLCS if the didnt intend to go that paid for content route to begin with

[agile grove]

im sick of shooting an mf 5 miles away and then realising its sadnta

so dumb

christmas is done someone send this mf to the north pole

[near cedar]

he wears a bright red pilgrim bro

[heady snow]

EOD edition will also be dissapearing from the market soon, and presumably thats when the dlc content will begin, it was teased 2 wipes ago, so i could see EOD disspearing in the next couple of wipes

[near cedar]

Haha what kind of cope is this

[quaint onyx]

yes couldnt agree more

[agile grove]

its so dumb and does not fit in this game

[near cedar]

"Limited Edition" is just a selling point it will always be on sale

[agile grove]

like bruh

[vapid flume]

That aint the game im willing to pay 100+howevermany to support, if what im supporting is that much of complete bs, I think this game is a good concept and all but if they take the route im quiting this game, If this is what they really gonna do then that would make the points other people have tried to make in what buying eod really is invalid. They say its just supporting the game being the main reason to buy it but if the game will start to be practically forcing you to pay even more than you already paid in buying just to really actually play the game than I don't see how buying anything below eod is even worth it.

[agile grove]

as a pmc i should be able to kill anyone

[quaint onyx]

what if you look through flir?

[near cedar]

Is there a guide that shows me what i can sell to merchants and what i need to keep

[quaint onyx]

its just a white blob

[agile grove]

its also the fact noone tells you you cant fucking kill him

[quiet stump]

whats some good ammo for the ump that isnt too expensive

[agile grove]

[near cedar]

I have killed him twice

Doesnt matter at all.

[agile grove]

fuck him and the sleigh he rode in on

my karma got destroyed tho lool

[near cedar]

Is there a selling guide?

[quaint onyx]

like what to sell to whom?

[near cedar]

What items do i need to keep for quests and what should i sell on flea

and what should i just sell to merchants

[heady snow]

developers stated EOD was a temporary edition and would be taken off the market at somepoint, closer to the actual release of the game

[near cedar]

They lied to create placebo scarcity to bait buyers

and you fell for it.

Sorry buddy

[unreal fable]

if they do that would the regular peeps keep it im assuming?

[west plover]

I was playing Lighthouse the other day and died on the road to a non-player sniper named "Lee". Is this one of those rogues?

[vapid flume]

More than likely, they have short names

[heady snow]

yeah everyone with eod will keep their bonuses, including access to future dlcs, anyone without EOD edition at that point would have to pay for access to any paid for content

[unreal fable]

makes sense

[kindred shell]

is it worth selling moonshines or keep em

[gusty sluice]

hard to get flea when i die everytime

[vagrant cargo]

same

[gloomy condor]

whats good level 1 vendor setups that isnt the SKS?

[vapid flume]

i be trying to get flea but I have same experiences, I practically need my teammate to be playing to even have motivation to wanna try to level up lol

[open apex]

hello, i got a problem with how long it takes to get into a game like i sit in matching for such a long time

[vapid flume]

scav?

[gusty sluice]

i enjoy the game its just hard when i die all the time

[open apex]

no regular mode

[hidden violet]

if you're dying thats a skill issue

just dont shoot people

[jovial prairie]

What’s better, PST GZH or BZHT GZH

[hidden violet]

and take routes no1 takes

[vagrant cargo]

buy vpo put scope on bastion put bastion on vpo

[hidden violet]

im pretty sure they're 2 different calibers

[jovial prairie]

Hi @hidden violet still trying to do the quest haha

[open apex]

and my region i have it set to auto USA

[heady snow]

you dojnt want auto, thats your problem

[vapid flume]

I can relatem scav is worse than pmc for me though, 11 mins on pmc and forget about scav

[jovial prairie]

They both load into the APS pistol, 9x18mm

[gusty sluice]

i dont i try to avoid but u can only avoid ppl for so long

[hidden violet]

oh you mean that pst

[heady snow]

click it, manually select at least 5 mega servers below 130 ping, and voila, shorter matching times, auto select only selects the closest singular mega to you, instead of searching multiple

[unique steeple]

Doesn’t matter

Same thing

[jovial prairie]

Oh

Ok cool

[cloud widget]

any1 around to teach a beginner how to play

[vapid flume]

Not really when you get ambushed by a rank 30 whos in there for 30 min. and new players tend to not have good gear

[brave obsidian]

Same

[jovial prairie]

What about PM P GZH vs PM pst GZH?

[hidden violet]

just use !wiki ballistics

!wiki ballistics

[broken quail]

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

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Ballistics

Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.

[jovial prairie]

Ohhhhhhhh nice

[open apex]

alright just did that lemme see

[hidden violet]

do you mean level 30?
you just have to know people's spawns, and the routes they take. if you're in long enough to find a guy thats in for 30 minutes, then you're in the raid for way too long

[open apex]

how long should it usually take

im doing reserve 1pm

[heady snow]

with 4 or 5 servers selected ytoull get in in just a couple minutes

[vapid flume]

Sometimes I get good loot and I really have a hard time with large groups sitting around

[hidden violet]

large groups never camp, if you're running into them then its because you're actively taking them on. or you just walk into them cuz you're deaf

[vapid flume]

groups of people fighting outside around me not as in one large together group, I also dont know all the best loot spots on all maps so I end up finding a few hdds and wanting a bit more than that

[hidden violet]

I take on 3 mans easily, fighting a 3 man as a solo is way easier than 3v3 imo, because you can just flank and outplay them

when its a 3v3 you have to stick as a group and its just an aim battle

[vapid flume]

I usally get tapped in the head because I cant even really get good gear at my level and my luck is trash

[fast dune]

where can i find leatherman

[quaint onyx]

traders

[vapid flume]

you can buy it at mecshanic level 1

[quaint onyx]

mechanic maybe

[jovial prairie]

Been matchmaking for 10 mins lol

[still hamlet]

if I am 100/100 in energy, if I keep eating stuff that increases energy, will it improve metabolism or will that work only when I eat and it's below 100/100?
anyone knows this for sure? 😄

[vapid flume]

wtf do I do with santa im scared

I forgot about him

[reef spoke]

There is skill cap for each mission but I wanna say just eating even at 100 gives you the same EXP.

Might be worth exploring though

[modern lynx]

i got my slewas done on woods fairly early

[bold kernel]

Ive been trying can u help?

on woods i keep dyeing

[west plover]

it's a constant battle... I recommend you take notes with a notepad on prices and what to keep for hideout, or just sell everything for now since a lot of hideout items are high. This image might help you to prioritize which items you may want to keep if you want to get your hideout going, rather than selling it all though - https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Hideout?file=Hideout-Requirements-Items-to-Keep.jpg

I also recommend checking tarkovmarket website to get a general idea of flea market prices: https://tarkov-market.com/

[modern lynx]

So what I did was just take the spawn i was given, dont try and go out of your way to specific locations

[bold kernel]

i try getting too the usec camp but keep dyeing

[vagrant violet]

can someone help me and my friend we just started '

[west plover]

I recommend that you check the basement of power building on customs, as well as the library/crackhouse/medical building on customs too. You can also try doing scav runs in those locations to learn the spots and see if you can get lucky finding one that someone left behind

[modern lynx]

go to usec camp or scav bunker

[bold kernel]

ive done all of those and still cant get one

[modern lynx]

i find them in zb14 as well

[wet solar]

can you stack buff effects from food/drinks?

and syringes

[reef spoke]

Check medical spawns on woods and shoreline .

You're fine

[reef spoke]

Yes iirc

[wet solar]

only syringes?

[reef spoke]

Fairly sure food and other stack on each other .

You can't stack the same effects though iirc

[bold kernel]

yo sw

can i can u help with my task

[reef spoke]

Like you cant chug 30 energy drinks and jump to the moon

[wet solar]

wait can you really stack 30 energy drinks?

and get +30 endurance

or so

[reef spoke]

Honestly my dude , if you cant manage the simple fetch quest you might wanna just scav around and stumble upon stuff for a while until you're comfortable in tarkov.

Don't force it.

[olive oracle]

is customs a good map to learn first? Ive seen a lot of people recommend it but a lot saying go somewhere else since theres a lot of pvp on customs

[wet solar]

yes, or factory

play scav only on factory

play pmc on customs

[reef spoke]

All maps are rough , customs gets recommended alot because early task are on it.

All of tarkov is a deep end. So just jump in and start swimming / treading water til you're comfortable

[west plover]

hey, some of my buddies get a sound bug glitch on discord when they start streaming... where they can't hear anyone. any idea for fixes? they rejoin the call a few times to fix it, but wondering if there's a better/faster way

anyone lost fence karma for killing player scavs as a pmc recently? it jsut happened to me i got screenshots its kinda shit ngl

[boreal pebble]

where can i find salewas in customs?

[jade bay]

How do I get a lot of fence rep? I'm at -1.2 cause I'm always afraid it's a player scav and cause I'm dumb lol

[wet solar]

yep. i get -0.01 for every pscav kill

avoid killing pscavs

unless necessary

[strong barn]

thats lame im reported it via launcher

yeah i tanked quite a bit

[strong barn]

report via launcher if you can @wet solar this lame ass shit

[wet solar]

theres reddit threads and stuff on it

gotcha

[wet solar]

it should have nikitas attention by now

[strong barn]

is it their subtle way of trying to get us to work together with pmcs +scavs? because scavs still gain rep for dumping on pmcs LOL

it's killing me that I have all this food / drinks and I can't really use it that much

Hey, whats a good way to get used to the typography of the areas? I try to use maps but i can never figure out where I start out, nevertheless where im going.

[kindred shell]

get the compass

you can get it from prapor from one of his early quests

i think its the convoy quest

[wet solar]

can you stack different injectors with same effects?

[stable escarp]

got it, as for doing those, how should i go about leaving when i dont know where i am beforehand?

[bold kernel]

Are CPU’s good ? I just found it ?

[kindred shell]

hug the boundaries

or ask a sherpa

[still hamlet]

everything is good on way or the other

[kindred shell]

or go into LFG woods

[reef spoke]

I "think" you can.

Based on some old info , we used to juice up to get into weird places no idea if they patched it or not

[cloud widget]

what should i do as scav? Do i really need to survive?

[kindred shell]

a bunch of people can help you

[still hamlet]

loot as much as you can, get extracted and avoid killing anyone

[kindred shell]

i just fuck around and have fun with scav

[reef spoke]

Use scavs go either practice PVP or learn maps is the typical advice

[scenic hill]

find free look

[cloud widget]

ty <3

why should i avoid killing

[kindred shell]

cuz your main goal as scav is to get loot

and you have super shit weapons that cant kill shit

[reef spoke]

Pvp against scav losses scav karma , you'll have longer timers and shit gear

[warm sequoia]

is it better to play solo

[scenic hill]

scav karma, you get better loot starting with better karma and scavs will help you and follow you to avoid getting killed by a PMC

[still hamlet]

because you may kill scav bots or scav players and your rep with fence will drop massively if you keep on doing it

[sick saffron]

How do i get to the other channels

[kindred shell]

AND DONT KILL SANTA

huge mistake

[reef spoke]

Learning how to hold your own solo is recommended.

But playing in a skilled / well tuned duo or trio is great

[cloud widget]

so should i just do missions and tasks on scav?

[kindred shell]

you cant do tasks on scavs

[still hamlet]

you can't do anything on scav other than "picked in raid" items

[scenic hill]

you can only do found in raid missions as a scav

[kindred shell]

only FIR items you can

[reef spoke]

Gathering missions you can do as as scav since they are FIR items

[warm sequoia]

if you play solo do you match with other solo players?

[kindred shell]

nope

[cloud widget]

smh how do i get myself one of these sherpas lmao

there is a discord for em

Last I talked to them they were just now accepting tickets for this wipe so it'll be like 3 or 4 week wait possibly

We get(got) a shit load of tickets and there are not that many sherpa.

what is sherpa?

On factory, is extracton gate 3 the only pmc extraction that doesnt require a key to access or am i just looking at a bad map?

[compact token]

when your gun jams, you get a brief period of 100% swap speed to pistols, so yes, particularly with high capacity mags and hot load ammo

[brave obsidian]

Thanks!

[reef spoke]

Yes.

Bag added a hot swap feature for weapon malfunctions iirc

I've been running side arms since .7 and can't count how many people I've face fucked because we both have to reload at the same time

[near rain]

If you shoot someone in the side (armpit) does your round still have to penetrate armor?

[reef spoke]

Not yet

[near rain]

brilliant

[compact token]

other way around. someday it won't, right now it does

[reef spoke]

The armor box currently works like a full skin , not plates.

[near rain]

oh

[reef spoke]

Ye my bad, poorly worded answer

[near rain]

so

legs

[compact token]

or decent ammo

or faces

[near rain]

I do not even know what decent ammo is

[reef spoke]

Legs, stomach in some cases , face / ear

[near rain]

but I keep buying the cheapest one and spraying

it works sometimes

and clicking heads in tarkov is much, much harder than a traditional shooter

[reef spoke]

The wiki has ammo stats for ya. Or you can check "nofoodaftermidnight ammo chart " to get an idea of how ammo interacts with armor

Bro this is so stupid man, i got banned like a week ago, created a support ticket and I still havn't got an answer as to why I was banned for absolutely no reason and the reason they gave me for the ban makes 0 sense, like dude why would I do anything that would get me banned on the wipe that I just upgraded to eod

I get its christmas but its not russian christmas why can't they respond

[reef spoke]

They get a lot of tickets. Odds are they are working on getting to yours.

[glacial cedar]

Well I hope so

But it pisses me off

I can't even enjoy the event

[reef spoke]

Can't play with ya but know that you can go into offline mode with gear and not lose anything.

You don't gain anything but you get to learn the maps and fight AI

[glacial cedar]

Like new quests and santa scav and here I am not being able to play for no reason at all

[near rain]

SKS, airsoft vest, nothing else

[glacial cedar]

And the reasom they banned me for in the email that I recieved makes 0 sense, I mean I may not have english as my mother tongue but I understand it even on a scientific level and when I sent it in #screenshots others couldn't make out the reason either

[near rain]

go in balls deep

[olive oracle]

do skill levels that you get from playing scav transfer to pmc?

[reef spoke]

7.62x39 ps is pretty solid.

Don't use HP or US ammo unless youre forced to

[glacial cedar]

No

[reef spoke]

Nope.

[near rain]

I've taken out some fully kitted PMCs with a PACA vest, an SKS, and a dream

[reef spoke]

Ye , I'm a fan of paca. I will run paca with a VSS or ash12 when I'm sniping

[near rain]

People say PACA is only good against AI

but I've had it stop some distant rifle rounds and save me in CQB

i wish it were slightly cheaper

[reef spoke]

Recently paca is better at longer ranges because of how they reworked ballistics

Can wise. Paca is better than nothing but not by a whole lot. It's not great for head on fights but can save your ass if you've got good movement and positioning and just get grazed

Cqb wise**

Sniping seems a bit silly in tarkov, honestly

[vernal hound]

why have i been getting 10 minute+ queues?

change servers ig

[near rain]

you can't climb ladders, there aren't a lot of vantage points, and you can only watch so many angles someone may or may not even use

and if you miss, you won't hit them on followup shots

[reef spoke]

Eod starts with a sniper rifle and optic

[vagrant cargo]

yeah do you seriously think id survive a raid with my starter equipment

[hidden violet]

poggg

[reef spoke]

Depends on how you do it. I've been sniping in tarkov since before the flea market was in game and have always enjoyed it

[vagrant cargo]

youre not a beginner i hate you

Tarkov is punishing for sure.

[hidden violet]

just avoid people

[near rain]

I'm not risking my last NATO gear, I just take SKS

every time i have scav, instant extract for more gear

[frosty crown]

how do you guys build the aksu for punisher?

[reef spoke]

My cost per raid is about 5k in ammo. And my gain is anywhere from 300k -1.5 mil depending on how the raid falls.

I typically survive 5-8 rounds per kit unless I'm having an unlucky day with scav AI lol.

[vagrant cargo]

@near rain how much money u got

[vagrant cargo]

what gun u using

I need flea market so fucking bad

[sudden nimbus]

uh guys what is this key? I searched it in many website and I still don't know where and how to use it

[vagrant cargo]

I wanna use a sniper

[reef spoke]

Depends on what I'm feeling.

This wipe I've been sniping with the ash12 alot. I suggest newer folks snipe with a sks out to 200m and closer or a VEPR hunter early on.

Anything further than 200 try a 700 or sv98

[honest shore]

I got a scav SV-98 and got two kills with it sniping on woods before I lost it.

SV-98 has great MOA even with bad durability too.

Makes me wonder if I shouldn’t just stop rn

Like it’s deadass that bad

[reef spoke]

I mean if you wanna be defeated that's on you.

Not everyone has to be good at the game to like it

[vagrant cargo]

It’s not supposed to be easy starting but forcing a bad dragon through my asshole dry would probably feel better

[honest shore]

You won't get better if you don't play but I feel you. I've been playing less and I just got the game. I don't die often but doesn't feel like a rewarding game very much.

[vagrant cargo]

i die all the time

[reef spoke]

We all die all the time

[honest shore]

I had a 13% SR last wipe I think, wasn't doing good. This wipe I think I'm at 66%

[reef spoke]

I've got 6k hours in this game and still die from scavs .

[vagrant cargo]

yeah but most people don’t have a 20% sr

[fickle mauve]

is scav santa still in or was it a christmas day only thing?

[vagrant cargo]

and fail to stay at a million roubles or more

[reef spoke]

You'd be surprised for first wipe guys 20 is actually pretty high

[honest shore]

SR is all about aggression. If you play passive and don't seek fights, and are situationally aware, a high SR isn't hard.

[vagrant cargo]

yeah well I’m not really gaining any xp thus not making progress

[olive oracle]

Are ornaments useful to beginners or should I just sell them to make some room

[hidden violet]

looks new, probably a lighthouse key

ive never seen it

[vagrant cargo]

i really just need to find me a way to make money is all

[honest shore]

Scav it up

[vagrant cargo]

ill try to be a rat

[hidden violet]

I would say sell, cuz they're mainly found in key rooms which you dont have as a beginner but its up to you

[reef spoke]

Ehh I typically get 3 k exp a raid and I play pretty " passively "

[honest shore]

I find ratting to be very not fun for any parties

[hidden violet]

scav makes you at least 100k a run with their starting gear alone as long as you extract

[fickle mauve]

do scavs runs whenever possible, leave with 3 guns and a full pack, vendo, repeat

[vagrant cargo]

i was kinda thinking pmc loot runs but yknow that’s good

[reef spoke]

Never underestimate a scav run for sure

[honest shore]

Hit stashes if you want to do PMC, but don't sleep on scav if you need money.

[vagrant cargo]

i wanna make money as a pmc to get that sweet 3xp for inspecting

[fickle mauve]

if you need money, avoid pmc for a while and only scav run. once you got some savings, go back to pmc

[hidden violet]

there's no difference except you have worse gear and there's a slight chance its already looted

[vagrant cargo]

a 100% chance it’s already looted

also you don’t get xp which is the biggest reason to me cause I’m making no progress at all

[honest shore]

Where are labs stashes? lol. That would be interesting to hit stashes on labs. I assume its not a thing.

[reef spoke]

Lol

[vagrant cargo]

tbh I don’t even know where to go for money

[vagrant cargo]

wtf

[still hamlet]

this means I died to a scav player, right?

I am asking this because I didn't shoot against any scavs

[reef spoke]

Single name guys are guard or raiders

[honest shore]

You died to a raider or rogue. Probably raider. If there's no report button its AI.

Or guard yeah

[vagrant cargo]

Sektant eh

[still hamlet]

what are those?

first time I hear about it

[reef spoke]

Boss AI with high level gear

[still hamlet]

there are scavs AI that kill other scavs?

[vagrant cargo]

ISNT sektant the cultist name

[honest shore]

They are harder scavs. Guards hang around bosses, raiders are on certain maps and just rare scavs, and rogues are lighthouse.

[reef spoke]

Yep. They don't shoot on sight but will if you don't gtfo quickly

Could be , ice stopped paying attention to cultist stuff

I've*

[honest shore]

In my experience they shoot so fast you don't have time to get away, lol. But I don't play lighthouse much.

[still hamlet]

da fak.. didn't know I could die to scavs AI even if I'm playing nice 😮

[vagrant cargo]

need high rep

for bosses

[mint eagle]

which control is for changing scope reticle?

[honest shore]

If you are a player scav then they won't shoot unless you get close. Don't think raiders will ever kill on sight.

[honest shore]

Think its left alt RMB by default.

[reef spoke]

Ctrl + ads iirc

[vagrant cargo]

how do people have like 30 million roubles wtf

and lvl 45

[still hamlet]

how can I tell scav players from AI scavs? 🤔

[reef spoke]

You can always check your controls

[honest shore]

How they run, if they VOIP, what they are doing, where they are.

[mint eagle]

ok tyty

[reef spoke]

Hard to tell now a days , but typically AI scavs are on some sort of path way

[still hamlet]

I mean vs these "guard" / "raiders"

at the death screen if I died to a scav player will I always see the "possibility" to report the person? or will that only happen when I die to PMCs?

[honest shore]

Guards and raiders travel in groups. Guards look militaristic, raiders have better gear.

[reef spoke]

Gear and where they spawn. Raiders and guards are localized to small sections of any given map

[honest shore]

I'm pretty sure you can report a player scav but I don't know. Never tried to report one.

If you are a hacker playing scav is a waste lol

[still hamlet]

not saying I want to report, just to know at the end if I died to a player or not

[reef spoke]

Back in the day that was actually the smart play because there was no way to tie the hacking back to an account

[honest shore]

I believe it shows their player name

but idk again

I don't die to player scavs much.

I think only two times or so actually.

[reef spoke]

Yeah if you die from a player scav you can report them.

AI no

[still hamlet]

oki ty

[reef spoke]

Take some time to play offline with " bosses enabled " it will spawn the raiders and guards if they do spawn on the map you're playing

[honest shore]

Guards are the easiest to recongnize. Good thing too. Guards means boss.

[reef spoke]

Yee

[olive oracle]

do different times of the day have better/worse queue times?

[still hamlet]

don't I lose fence's rep if I kill them? (as scav)

[honest shore]

A lot.

[honest shore]

Yes. If too many or too few people are online the servers are overloaded or you will be looking for players.

If you enable multiple servers both issues are mitigated.

[reef spoke]

Yes , alot.

[honest shore]

I think if you just kill the boss you woud need to extract as scav 25 times to get back what you lost.

[vagrant cargo]

d

[honest shore]

It depends on the boss.

[vagrant cargo]

cozy

im going nuts over how bad I’m doing

[honest shore]

20-50 times. And each guard is 6 extracts.

[fading pagoda]

Lots of info in here. Y’all are awesome. Especially for new players

[still hamlet]

^ this

ty all btw

[fading pagoda]

For real!

[still hamlet]

I'm going off now - but tomorrow - will learn more 😄

[weak anchor]

hey anyone know this one?

and why?

inven lock on reset from random item moving

[honest shore]

I think you just need to restart the game. 228 has many causes though.

[reef spoke]

Man, wait til they find out you can do silly things like hold R to select which mag you want from your rig. Or how to hot key meds.

Or how to reduce your reload time by changing your emergency reload keybind to something else so your standard reload is 3 ms faster

[vagrant cargo]

Do people go for interchange stashes often ?

Literally ran into a fucking duo on the stashes

[reef spoke]

Ye, pretty common run.

I like to ambush stash runners

[honest shore]

One of the more popular runs yes

But most people still go in the mall

[vagrant cargo]

Wow so I can’t even make money that way

Well not safely

[reef spoke]

Setting up and ambushing a stash runner is pretty easy money if you can pick your shots and don't get buck fever lol.

[wet solar]

lots of rats camping stashes on inter

[vagrant cargo]

Right

[wet solar]

i wouldnt recommend it

[honest shore]

Sure you can. I'd say most runs you don't run into someone. There's all the stashes right next to each other too. If you get the right spawn you can get 5 and excel.

[near rain]

42,000 rubles

[vagrant cargo]

Yeah idk what to do then

[wet solar]

even scav on scav happens frequently

do stash runs on other maps

[near rain]

shit

[wet solar]

or kill those who camp it

[vagrant cargo]

I don’t know the other maps

That’s the problem

[near rain]

also, what is with the scavs

[vagrant cargo]

Well I mostly know them@

Not the stashes

[near rain]

a Scav just 4 shot headshot me and someone else from a corner

[reef spoke]

Woods is unironially a great stash runner map

[near rain]

no time to react

no noise

[vagrant cargo]

Woods is also unironically terrifying to me

[near rain]

woods is good for loot in my experience

I die less on it than other maps

[reef spoke]

Woods is great for solo players.

Just learn how to run away from people lol.

[honest shore]

They have about a 3 second reaction time if you don't repeek the same angle and they love screaming.

[near rain]

oh no, it's a player
