[loud summit]

[serene reef]

[jade jackal]

[serene reef]

xD

[serene reef]

this is basically a channel to answer your questions and give you tips

people are still busy grinding for themselves so there's less

but people here try to help out new players

the REAL help is

#sherpa-info

they're like official coaches official helpers

so if you want someone to teach you sherpas are the way

[jade jackal]

official?

[serene reef]

we're like more experienced friends who won't carry you but if you're struggling we cna give you advice

example if you don't know how to do a task

or you're confused aboutan extract

and you dont want to take the long route and go offline and check or smthn

[loud summit]

WHY IS MAPGENIE.IO NOT UPDATED

[dawn geyser]

If you would like a guide, yes best bet is finding a sherpa

[loud summit]

SLAVES

[tacit cliff]

I keep getting trashed on in raids it’s kinda discouraging and doesn’t make me wanna play anyone help?

they working on lighthouse 😂

[dawn geyser]

If you're just looking for quick help, just shoot some questions here

[dawn geyser]

Did you buy the premium service from them?

[loud summit]

what kinda gear you takin in raids

and ammo

most important

https://tarkov.ascheron.dev/

[dawn geyser]

You should try your luck at #pvp-lfg as well

[serene reef]

[loud summit]

pay for maps? nty

[serene reef]

also from experience take a break if you feel like you can't do anything

[loud summit]

wiki not updated either lol

[serene reef]

it makes you play 10x worse

[loud summit]

fr fr

best advice ever

[dawn geyser]

Yeah they have the lighthouse map done, just locked behind a pay lol

I think Reserve is still locked as well

[serene reef]

play to your kit's advantages

if you have a saiga shotgun or an smg

[tacit cliff]

The default stuff I get on wipe I’m to scared to spend money on shit and die, last time I played right before the wipe I built a budget ak101 I think it was and it had like 7.62 something ammo and was still getting trashed

[serene reef]

dont try to rush long range

[tacit cliff]

I’m probably just bad

[serene reef]

but if they're close take the initiative

otherwise you will be herded into a bad position

[tacit cliff]

I’m pretty good at other FPS games but it’s been rough out here lol

[serene reef]

you;re kinda supposed to first grind to higher lvls

quest

because your gear is inferior to other players

first kappa this wipe was already reached

that's like lvl 62

if you get lvl 20ish

25ish

you can get good ammo easily

that will be a HUGE difference

because they will die in1/2 shots head/thorax

[narrow pecan]

Yea, unfortunately they killed this game for your average "dad" gamer

[loud summit]

kappa is bullshit

[serene reef]

as of rn best bet is shotty/smg to the FACE

not even head

[loud summit]

they ruined it for anyone not able to play like 5 hrs a day lol but thats the way it is

you gotta play a lot after wipe

[slim pumice]

Do I really have to play for 5 hours a day? lmao

[loud summit]

then you can chill out

[serene reef]

nope,but before 15 you can't compete against chads

[loud summit]

^

[narrow pecan]

Even at 15 its hard

[serene reef]

just get a 5stack

[burnt vortex]

When you use the car extract do you need to stand next to the car for the full 60 seconds?

[loud summit]

wtf a 5 stack

[serene reef]

obv yeah, but the higher lvl you are the easier

[burnt vortex]

im assuming yes

[loud summit]

yes

[serene reef]

nope

[narrow pecan]

Hard to make money, hard to build good meta guns

[burnt vortex]

oh

[serene reef]

you need to be there at the END of the timer

[burnt vortex]

Oh

[serene reef]

aka you can payfor it

[loud summit]

ohhhhhhhh

[serene reef]

run to dorms

loot a safe

and come back 👀

[burnt vortex]

I have marked key

so yes

[loud summit]

i thought he meant woods one

[burnt vortex]

in two runs ive made 500k

[serene reef]

any car

woods same

but woods safest by the car

[loud summit]

barricade lol

[serene reef]

but yeah you need to be there at the END of the timer

same with armored train

you can arrive superlate

[loud summit]

good to know

[serene reef]

last 5 seconds

but you can obv still depart

with it

[loud summit]

train is reserve btw

[serene reef]

AH FRICK

i forgot about my tea

[loud summit]

what kind

[frosty snow]

i found idea cash register key, where can i use it / should i sell it?

[loud summit]

use it on interchange

keep keys in ur gamma

they have 100 uses

[burnt vortex]

Also I have like 7 helmets what do i do with so many helmets

[loud summit]

run em

[burnt vortex]

Theyre all tier 4 basically

I am. I had to through some through insurance cycling to keep my inventory space free

[bold kernel]

Does it hurt you to do a fast scav run? just a bit of looting but no killing?

[burnt vortex]

cost me like 50k just to do

[narrow pecan]

Sell them and run Shattered Mask's....Your welcome lol

[loud summit]

https://gameslikefinder.com/article/best-tarkov-helmet/

[burnt vortex]

i have to mich series

yo thats cool

thanks

rn my fav is my bastion

[bold kernel]

Didn't know if 'early termination raid ended' was bad for a scav run

are there chests where you can store more?

[left summit]

When should a make gunsmith part 4 ?

[serene reef]

lemon tea :3c

2L pot

[serene reef]

im 22 and i still havent done mine

cause im lazy

truth is as early as possible

cause its good exp and good rewards

but if you do it when you can get the parts CHEAP

then you;re not only getting the exp but also PROFIT

[crystal oracle]

servers down agaib?

[serene reef]

i gave up trying to play ^

[dawn geyser]

Yeah it looks like servers are starting to melt

[serene reef]

ACTUALLY

i almost always run through on factory with scavs

takes like 3 minutes

earns you 0.01 scav rep and some pocket change

[bold kernel]

Is there a negative affect to anything for doing that?

[serene reef]

nope

[bold kernel]

ok, thanks

[serene reef]

any extraction is +0.01

even if run through

but then items are not FiR

but if you spawn after 7 minutes passed

you can run through and still get the survived status

^^

[cloud thunder]

any other low levels just wanna chill and maybe get a few tasks done (lvl 8)

[slim pumice]

Anybody wanna run a raid or something? lv.2 eu

[fickle olive]

are military cables expensive?

[pearl pier]

will there be a penalty if i disconnect while the screen shows waiting for players?

[balmy peak]

how do i get labs keycard?

[normal crypt]

What to do

[dawn geyser]

What does that say?

[sharp ridge]

I think it says 'Websocket Protocol is not understood on this platform'

I dont speak that language so i might have got it wrong

[normal crypt]

??

[grim tangle]

i got blue keycard and everyones selling them for 10 mil each i dont really wanna keep it for labs as not running it as much now and i just wanna get as much money as possible so i can run geared whenever i want should i sell it for some reason im just keeping it in my Thicc items case XD

[tribal thorn]

Lfg lv 5-6

[dawn geyser]

Are you running Win7?

[normal crypt]

Yeah

[dawn geyser]

#pvp-lfg o:

Yeah it seems to be a problems with Win7 conflicting with the queue system

Was referring to your first problem

Second problem is a server issue, not on your end

Assuming that says 504 gateway (I can't read it)

[tribal thorn]

Thanks

[flint bluff]

Hey guys I need help with this thing happening to me every single time i am moving something from my stash.. i need to restart the game and than wait in queue. Can I fix it somehow or is it bug in game

[warped kiln]

i get kicked and then i get put in queue

[solid iron]

LFG lvl 2 Beginner US and have offlined customs/woods/shoreline. Ready with 3 kits

[cold mesa]

kicked after raid smh this game man

[warped kiln]

fr bro

[dire hull]

why isnt this good for mechanic gunsmith part 1? i've done everything he needed

[bold kernel]

nothing u can do, its the servers dying rn

[flint bluff]

Thank you

[cold mesa]

take the rounds off of it

[balmy peak]

where do i shoot tagilla

[cold mesa]

in the face lol

naw im pretty sure tagilla is the factory boss

[gray flame]

try using the Tarkov wiki - https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Escape_from_Tarkov_Wiki

[muted atlas]

What can I do when I upgraded to EoD and transfered the items to my stash, then got an error and now they or neither in my stash nor in the messenger?

[cold mesa]

dont get too close hell knock ya head off lol

[balmy peak]

yeah but shall i shoot him in the body or in the legs?

cuz he has some crazy helmet

[cold mesa]

ohhh idk man i havent fought any of the bosses willingly yet lmao

[dire hull]

no rounds still no good

[cold mesa]

you also made sure there was no rounds in the barrel right ? i remember having the same issue i dont remember what i did to figure it out

[grim tangle]

i got blue keycard and everyones selling them for 10 mil each i dont really wanna keep it for labs as not running it as much now and i just wanna get as much money as possible so i can run geared whenever i want should i sell it for some reason im just keeping it in my Thicc items case XD

[normal crypt]

HOW TO FIX

[muted atlas]

Not ur prob, its the servers

[dire hull]

no rounds in the barrel

[dawn geyser]

Try this forum thread https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/160647-websocket-protocol-error-windows-7-support-suddenly-dropped/

[cold mesa]

@dire hull last thing i can thnk of is maybe the durability isnt where its supposed to be ?

[dire hull]

its above 60 durability. so that checks out

[dawn geyser]

It needs a GK-02 muzzle with a Cylinder attachment

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/ME_Cylinder_12ga_muzzle_adapter

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/GK-02_12ga_muzzle_brake

[serene reef]

confusion

[cold mesa]

good eye i didnt even catch that lol

[normal crypt]

Okay thanks

[serene reef]

why actually implement more traffic reduction

[severe river]

What were the 2 last technical client updates for? Were they for optimizing ?

[serene reef]

if the game itself is faulty and you need to restart all the time because all the errors and instability

[serene reef]

last one is server load reduction

• prob background optimization

[unique steeple]

less than 850 recoil?

[serene reef]

you're missing the choke

use wiki

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Gunsmith_-_Part_1

[severe river]

How do you know? You mean bcs they implemented the afk kick system?

Or did you obtain that data somewhere else?

if I may ask

[serene reef]

that itself is traffic reduction aka reduction of the load servers have to bear

less clients

[cold mesa]

for like 8 minutes now lol this the longest ride ever

[serene reef]

i have been as always listening to channels like nice guy

[dire hull]

yeah thanks guys my bad. forgot the recoil.

[serene reef]

Nikita supposedly was also getting ddosed on top of the game being meh performance wise

[severe river]

I wouldn't call it traffic reduction, or reduction of server load, since afk players are not causing load

[serene reef]

it's supposdly more error based

as the load was said to be LESS

then what it was at wipe start

[severe river]

They are causing other players to have to sit in queue while they afk

[serene reef]

well then that's still reduction tho no?

[balmy peak]

im on that too

[serene reef]

any way just generalize it as optimization

[serene reef]

did you lot download the update?

[balmy peak]

ytes

i downloaded it, launched the game, bug occured so i had to restart

[serene reef]

im not even gonna try to play eft for now xD

[severe river]

@serene reef And what about the first technical update? in eft annoucements

The previous one, which is from a bunch of hours ago

[serene reef]

beats me really

[abstract phoenix]

do i go with woods or customs for cache runs, i keep getting told to do both but idk

[serene reef]

prob some background stuff yet again

since they're struggling with the servers

and issues inside

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFliNuuJupo

[quaint onyx]

so no idling anymore

[unique steeple]

what setting would i have to turn down in order to reduce ram usage

[brisk hare]

i was trying to login right when i did the update and the queue went from 14000 to 1600 xD

[serene reef]

wecan onlyassume it's something server related and not another surprise like airdrops xD

[serene reef]

maybe the 14000 is actually a ddos attack or smthn

that'd be funny

[brisk hare]

lol

[sly juniper]

on my ak i can have multiple sights. In game can i switch between them?

[dawn geyser]

9head

[serene reef]

ctrl right click

[quaint onyx]

people that come from work or wake up and see that they are logged out will be pissed

[serene reef]

alt right click to switch the pattern/zoom on the scope/sight you're on

for example if you have a sniper scope 1-4x and a canted sight

cobra

[brisk hare]

do u guys leave the "check ammo in magazine" on default? (Lalt+T)? cause im kinda worried ill break my fingers

[serene reef]

alt rclick on 1-4x will switch from 1 to 4 and the other way around on alt rightclick

and ctrl will switch you to cobra

[balmy peak]

shall i restart the queue cuz im stuck on 1

[serene reef]

cobra is 1x but has multiple PATTERNS

you can cahnge those with alt rclick as well

[dawn geyser]

I personally would sit on it, I think that number might just be bugged

[high reef]

when does the new year gift bonus end? I'm thinking of grabbing the game now or soon and I want to know if I can still get the gift or not.

[smoky epoch]

am i fucked

been in number 1 in queue for 20 mins

[serene reef]

assumption: 7th january?

[dawn geyser]

A lot of people says queue in place is 1

[cold mesa]

i was on 1 for lik e20 minutes i just gave up so youre a number closer lmaooo

[serene reef]

that's when russian xmas is

[high reef]

alrighty then

[serene reef]

can you try to launch again?

[serene reef]

dont quote me on that tho that ain't any official info or anything ^^

[cold mesa]

@serene reef yeah it did a quick little update type thing the launcher

and back to 3.8k in queue

[spiral ocean]

i lose scav rep for killing the boss when he shot at me first? so im fucked if i do fucked if i dont?

[dawn geyser]

Does it have an ETA?

[cold mesa]

yeah if youre at 1 in queue i would restart launcher its deff moving now

no but im in already lol

[dawn geyser]

Sounds good thanks for the detes

[serene reef]

yeah you lose scav for returning fire

[spiral ocean]

thats so dumb wtf

[serene reef]

he's hostile to you if you're lower than X karma

and you get it reduced based on how much you have

i made a test on killing tagilla last wipe

when at 9 scav karma

took 3.15 away from me xDDD

[cold mesa]

i agree thats dumb af lol just a lose lose in that situation

[serene reef]

friend suffered like -0.2

at 1ish?

2ish?

[spiral ocean]

i was at 0.03 he shot me so i shot him and i lost .24 so now im negative

[serene reef]

at least so he said

[serene reef]

you canpatch that up with coop and veh extracts ^^

[spiral ocean]

that has to be the dumbest game mechanic ive ever seen

[serene reef]

every single one gives 0.25 first use

0.13 second use etc

halved each time

[proud tulip]

hey i chose usec but only really have AKs. what ammo should i be using? all my traders are level 1 so i can't seem to find any good ammo

[spiral ocean]

i only know reserve and all the fucks are untrusting

[serene reef]

so you can get 2rep for 8 extracts

just sit as pmc low gear

on the coop

[spiral ocean]

i legit reset cuz i had neg6 karma now im negative again

i have been

i just get shot in the back

[serene reef]

bad idea imo

if you're above 15 and have neg karma

[inland marlin]

you gotta level up or find it

[serene reef]

just roll with it

[serene reef]

barter TUSHONKAs for BP

or was it BT

[spiral ocean]

haha i was 17 with like 30mil overall

[serene reef]

waste of time then imo

unless you had like -6 karma

[spiral ocean]

i was jus lucky with killin people i dont actually know shit

i did i had -6.07

[proud tulip]

@inland marlin by level up do you mean my pmc or traders? and @serene reef how do i do that? i have a few tushonkas

[serene reef]

okay that's fair enough

[proud tulip]

thx for the quick replies

[inland marlin]

traders need pmc levels so both

[serene reef]

prapor lets you barter those for ammo

[spiral ocean]

that game mechanic is so dumb that i get fucked for defending myself

[serene reef]

go to him and look at i think one of the first few trades

its like a white-ish box

[proud tulip]

i don't think i can do that at my level

[serene reef]

that's the best AK ammo you can get early game

and you can get more tushonkas EASILY

if you go to goshan on interchange

it's ll1

BT is ll2 i think

[proud tulip]

in that case is there a quick way to level prapor up?

[torn lake]

black screen post raid what do i do?

[serene reef]

just quest

to lvl him up you need

1. Money spend
2. trader rep
3. PMC lvl

[proud tulip]

ah ok thanks

[serene reef]

lvl 2 is like

ll2*

lvl 15

but there should be a BP ammo trade, no?

[pearl pier]

how do i only take a certain amount of rubles of of a stack of cash

[finite terrace]

wtf is wrong with the game

[outer solar]

is anybody willing to help me do stuff in game, never played it before

[finite terrace]

i get stuck after picking a map + timezone, in the looking for group part

[serene reef]

okay so BT was moved to ll2 and you can only trade

CLIN

for BP

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[serene reef]

servers are dying atm

[quaint onyx]

ctrl drag

[west plover]

how can I seriously learn to be better at pvp? obviously play the game, but wondering if there's any particular guides out there that are especially good with specific advice. Gear fear is also a thing, so I almost just wanna run like a shotgun with BMG rounds or something

[serene reef]

hard to play the game :')

[pearl pier]

thx

[spiral ocean]

do i lose karma if i merk gluhar on a pmc?

[serene reef]

quick tip

if you drag to split

you seem to select half

[west plover]

since he's a raid boss and you're a PMC, I imagine not

[bold kernel]

server dead

[serene reef]

so if you have a stack of 30 ammo, you can ctrl drop it

and it will auto drop 15

if you click enter

[west plover]

I just reopened BSG launcher and there's another update?

[finite terrace]

when aren't they

[serene reef]

i was about to give up on the game because of inertia

[spiral ocean]

i hope i hit him with a double barrel after he shot me and i lost .24 karma dumb mechanic

[west plover]

lol I've gone through the queue like 4 times now. might just have to give up and try later

[serene reef]

im already used to giving up on it

xD

[kindred vault]

i'm still in the game, afraid to alt f4 xD

[serene reef]

ill wait till it's playable again xD

[bold kernel]

i think the overload of the stream snipers sense everyone want to kill his streamer in game

[west plover]

if you weren't a scav, I'm not sure it should decrease.. maybe it's bugged? idk

just be sure you don't kill santa

[proud tulip]

got it

[dawn geyser]

Naw Nikita stated there's less players currently than first day of wipe

[serene reef]

+1 kwon-senpai :')

[spiral ocean]

i was a scav im jus saying its dumb i get fucked for defending myself or i lose my whole inv either way im fucked

[serene reef]

its mafia, get used to it

raise in the ranks

nothing attacks you if you're 6

and if you're at 7

it's no difference

[spiral ocean]

legit ran down the stairs and he was there i had no choice

[serene reef]

for you if you gotta kill it 👀

[spiral ocean]

im at 0.22

-0.21*

[smoky epoch]

is it a good idea to even be playing the game rn, wont i just disconnect mid raid and lose all my shit

[woeful garden]

i cant even open my game 💀

[dawn geyser]

You basically have to take the L either way

[kindred vault]

game servers are usually fine, its the inventory part thats fked up (but ive heard people disconnecting sometimes when it actually completely crashes)

-0.21 rookienumbers

[spiral ocean]

well i had a fuckin aesa so lmao

[smoky epoch]

oh ok, ty

[kindred vault]

fkin santa

[spiral ocean]

i was -6.07 before i reset

LOL

Funny mine was jus shit and i never killed santa

[kindred vault]

ive killed santa 5 times 🙂

well

[spiral ocean]

hahaha

[kindred vault]

12 times

7 times it was ap layer pretending to be santa

5 times it was actually santa

[spiral ocean]

mine was so annoying i just reset

[kindred vault]

im not gonna reset at lvl 37

😛

[dawn geyser]

Too many times has Santa jumpscared me

[outer solar]

what do i do first ?

[dawn geyser]

He didn't like buckshot to the beard.

[spiral ocean]

i was 17 with 30mil overall i just said fuck it and reset

[dawn geyser]

Going to have ot be more specific than that friend

[rose sable]

yo ive never played before just looking for someone to teach me the ropes

[dull slate]

if i upgrade to pfe edition... will i need to reset my account?

[dawn geyser]

Restart your launcher and try again

[dawn geyser]

No sir

[outer solar]

I made my setup and all that but i have no clue on where to go and what to start doing in game

[dawn geyser]

I would honestly look up beginner guides on youtube or

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[dawn geyser]

Same applies to you sir

[west plover]

yeah sorry dude... few nights ago, I was playing with a dude I befriended as a PMC while he was a Scav. We did a Scav run on lighthouse. Ran around the rogue building and rogues kept talking at us. Ran down the train yard and they started sniping at us. They took him out like 100m+ away in like 2 shots lol

[south badger]

why does tarkov lag so much rn?

[dawn geyser]

Servers are having issues at the moment

[dull slate]

my friend bought the eod and when he logged in.. it was 5 minutes and he didn't got any case or stash upgrade

[kindred vault]

aight guys, yall dropping 1 slot in the queue now, ill alt f4

[dull slate]

when he resetted he got it then

[kindred vault]

did my good deed of the year, heaven here i come

[dull slate]

am i missing something

[south badger]

okey ty

[dawn geyser]

Yes there are issues with when people are upgrading while the servers are lagging

As for a fix, i'm not sure.

[kindred vault]

can i pay in an acorn + rope?

[dawn geyser]

[dull slate]

oh.. thanks for the info

[tall owl]

guys im new what would you sell here on flea 🙂

[spiral ocean]

the gpus lol

[tall owl]

wouldnt i want to save those for my btc farm later?

[late crane]

still a queue 😔

[dawn geyser]

If you're not going to craft with the hawks, those, GP coins, diaries can go to peacekeeper

[spiral ocean]

ah fair fair i forget people can make it that far lmao

[tall owl]

started halfway into last wipe and didnt get to it, so its fair. But i think ill get it this time 😄

[dawn geyser]

If you're done with the FIR flash drives, you can trade x3 for a DT case from Jaeger

Sell to therapist for 192k

[late crane]

dt case?

[tall owl]

Dont GP coins usually have some use mid-late wipe? last wipe you could buy as vals, slicks etc for em

[dawn geyser]

Dogtag case

[tall owl]

or was that unique to last wipe?

[late crane]

ah

[dawn geyser]

That was an event for GP coins

[kindred vault]

i think bitcoin + gp coins get you a thicc item case too

[dawn geyser]

thicc weapons case;;The x2 weapon case barter is much better for that though

[tall owl]

Im not really strapped for cash rn, so if they have an event like last time i might just sit on em

arh forgot about that barter actually, thanks

[late crane]

i feel like finding this shit for hideout has not gone my way

400000 stashes later and someone absolutely 0 nuts and bolts

[dawn geyser]

Just cave and buy from flea =p

[late crane]

thatd be cool if i had flea unlocked

Im not strapped for cash, just xp

[inland marlin]

toolboxes would be better. stashes loot pool is too large to find something like nuts and bolts

[late crane]

thats the only place i found them before tbh

ill try toolboxes instead tho

[inland marlin]

try toolboxes youd be swimming in them

also the large toolboxes that are made of wood

[severe river]

hidden stashes? You find those in toolboxes my man

Go to green screen, broken windows, dead scav building

The bottom right corner of the map, by zb 1011 in customs

[late crane]

Are they common in technical supply crates asw?

[severe river]

there u have like 7 toolboxes

[inland marlin]

yeah

[tall owl]

What are you guys crafting in your lavatory?
im not going through my fuel tanks fast enough for the mag case

Just been doing blackrocks for own use

[late crane]

i extract there all the time i never knew lmao

[severe river]

1 tip: don't always craft the same thing

[severe river]

always alternate between crafts

otherwise u barely get any xp

U can do 1 16 hours craft, and then a 1 min one

and thats enough

u can do the 16 hrs one again

[tall owl]

oh wow i didnt know that, thanks a lot

[severe river]

and get full xp

[tall owl]

guess thats why my hideout skill has been pretty bad

[severe river]

Also, do that will all things for crafting

as long as there's no negative profit

And also, try buying empty gas cans for a cheaper price

for the craft

[tall owl]

As soon as i can buy stuff without backend errors i will 😄

[severe river]

if you're low on gas for crafts

[tall owl]

i tried, but theres no empty exped fuel tanks for cheap rn, most of em are 80k so profit is pretty bad on mag cases

[spare thunder]

are servers shitted? I just got a blank screen

[dawn geyser]

Yes servers seem to be having issues right now

[tall owl]

i just got backend error, but those have been going on most of today

[spare thunder]

welp, another day of not playing

[tall owl]

just try to wait it out, sometimes you get through it. You have to wait in queue anyway

[spare thunder]

Just have to queue again to turn off the generator

what happens when I turn off the generator while it has a production running

[tall owl]

production halts

[late crane]

my queue keeps restarting every 2 seconds lmao

[tall owl]

or atleast slows to near nothing

[narrow gull]

doesn't halt, it does slow down hard

[dawn geyser]

Lavatory production speed won't change, all other stations will slow down significantly

[spare thunder]

ok

I found stuff from fence that allows me to make an AK74

And I made weapon parts from 2 .366 rifles

[remote steppe]

i just found a cottage back door key is it any good?

[round ridge]

Yeah worth a lot

[remote steppe]

rly

what do you get from the room?

[round ridge]

Last time I checked it was like 600k

There are 2 safes and a computer

You need a key for one of the safes though

[remote steppe]

600k for 2 safes and a cumputer wtf

[pearl pier]

what should i sell?

[round ridge]

It’s also a quest room

[remote steppe]

ohhhh

[unique steeple]

when i try launching,

[dawn geyser]

Run as admin?

[somber rain]

sell poxeram and therm

[unique steeple]

already tried

[somber rain]

idk if you got flea or not

[unique steeple]

imma just download the launcher again

[dawn geyser]

Is the folder read only?

[unique steeple]

o lemme check

[dawn geyser]

Once you try that, and if it doesn't work, try and manually check for updates

and after that try and use the repair feature if it has one

[unique steeple]

yeah okay that was it

fixed, thx bro

[dawn geyser]

The read only? No problem!

[viral lion]

why am i still in a queue for the past 30 hours

[dawn geyser]

Are you in an actual position or position 1?

[viral lion]

yesterday it was 96k ad now its 26k

[dawn geyser]

30 hours? An actual 30 hours?

[unique steeple]

💀

[viral lion]

like 24hours :\

[dawn geyser]

...I don't think that's right

I don't want to have you restart your queue but I also think waiting more than a couple hours is buggy

let alone more than 5 hours

[unique steeple]

yesterday the 100k queue was about an hour and half for me

[viral lion]

now its going down a bit

now im a 24500

[dawn geyser]

I was position 162k yesterday and got in 13 minutes

[viral lion]

i dont eve have a prox time left

[bold kernel]

what is this

[viral lion]

kappa

[dawn geyser]

End game container

After the quest The collector

[viral lion]

no gifs :\

no kappa

[serene reef]

[tribal garnet]

[pearl pier]

[tribal garnet]

[viral lion]

plus i have -1.25 scav rep (bad)

[severe river]

Until when will the christmas tree be there? At least approx

[chrome ferry]

my game keeps freezing then eventually crashing on “awaiting session start”

It wasn’t doing this like 2 days ago

What’s up with it now

[west plover]

is there any place that is more likely than others to get a money case? I checked wiki, and I'm seeing marked room Customs (or some spawns like warehouse No 3)... or some rooms at Reserve

[dawn geyser]

Marked rooms only really lol

[west plover]

rip

[dawn geyser]

Other areas being giving tree potentially on customs?

Just a guess

[west plover]

yeah probably, just is inconvenient. will have to try at the end of raids and see if marked has been hit

[inland marlin]

its better to do the barter for it

[chrome ferry]

I spawned in already killed

Nice

[west plover]

oh, good call. will have to get to lvl 35 for lvl 4 therapist for that I guess. ty

[mild heath]

how do you switch a key from "R" to "not set" ?

[inland marlin]

just bind it to something youll never use and then if you really want to not set it then bind something else to that same key

[mild heath]

thx, it worked 😄

[inland marlin]

mostly any armor 4+ will block shotgun pellets

[wraith yew]

AK-74 5.45x39 6L31 60-round magazine does anybody myb have this mag i would like to buy it from you (I dont have flea marker yet)

[karmic mesa]

can someone help me navigate woods to find jagers letter

[dire hull]

I can only sell intelligence to fence is it worth?

[narrow gull]

you can also sell to pk but i'd wait until flea to sell it

[left summit]

how ?

[narrow gull]

good ammo to the head, eyes

[terse galleon]

seems like most people on right now are EU. Could anyone on NA servers help me find Jaeger on Woods? I dont know the map at all

[winter axle]

how com the zb016 extract isnt working woods?
im at the door but its not extracting me

[narrow gull]

it's not a guaranteed extract

if it's open there's a green smoke at the entrance

[abstract phoenix]

i cant sell my gear that i got from my scav run?

it says i cant sell it to the trader

[winter axle]

theres green smoke

but cant extract

[narrow gull]

like weapon? if it's too broken you need to disassemble it and sell the parts to mechanic, the gun itself to fence

[narrow gull]

if you spawn on same side of the map you don't get the option either

do you have outskirts extract?

[abstract phoenix]

yeah, all of it came from caches, like ammo and shit but i cant sell it

[tribal garnet]

should i just spent 4m on 5 damn greenbats?

[narrow gull]

ammo should be able to sell to either prapor, mechanic or jaeger

[serene reef]

ammo best price to mechanic p sure

same as weapons

literally any armor

[[Ballistics]]

[broken quail]

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

[serene reef]

if you dont have flachette then 7mm or 8.5mm has like 2 armor pen

i once forgot to bring flachettes and ended up fighting tagilla

nailed it tactic and execution wise

but like 1.5k dmg done or smthn

and 1.8dmg tanked by armor xD

[remote kettle]

no

[west plover]

try #pvp-lfg

is there a definite most profitable map right now? I know it's sorta RNG but wondering if there's a consistent top one

[strong barn]

lighthouse, if your first to the USEC villa and have two keys for the safes in the other villa its e z money. Even if your not first those safes are barely touched and so much loot everywhere someone misses something so you can take it

[rare ruin]

is it just me or are there queues on this game

[languid temple]

u have to open the door

with a key

[west plover]

thanks, I'll have to read about the keys. I've only really heard about the merin key

[west plover]

if I remember correctly... zb016 exit is dependent on if the green gas just at the entrance is going or not. if it's not going, it won't work for exit. zb014 is the same way, but zb014 needs a key.

If the green gas is present at the entrance, then you just need to be sure that you're inside the metal door area, against the far-side metal door to extract

[languid temple]

oh mb i guess

is zb 16 the one by old station?

[west plover]

yes sir

[languid temple]

dang got them confused

[tall owl]

Do you get minus scav rep for shooting player scavs

or do you have to kill them

[late crane]

only for killing them as a scav

[west plover]

as a scav, you should get negative rep for killing them - unless they've killed other scavs, I think. even if they shoot you first, you'll get negative rep for killing them https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Fence#Loyalty_Level_Requirements

[tall owl]

damn i should of domed this guy last raid, but i had a vintorez and m4 so didnt wanna risk it

but i didnt get minus scav rep for putting a bullet in his ass

[burnt vortex]

when you kill players how do you get those ??? to go away?

[tall owl]

pick up the dogtag @burnt vortex

[west plover]

at least now you know. also, you lose like 1.5 fence rep for killing santa... although idk if he's in the game anymore. maybe I'm just not seeing him

[burnt vortex]

Oh

I saw a scav dressed like santa

[left summit]

is that a good helmet ?

[late crane]

he is in the game

[burnt vortex]

but he was dancing around the tree

[tall owl]

Already made that mistake one time, fukken father christmas hiding in the dark

[west plover]

yeah lol

[tall owl]

yes

[west plover]

looks like it's worth about 75k, and is a class 4 helmet
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Crye_Precision_AirFrame_helmet_(Tan)

[tall owl]

Generally t4 helmets are pretty good

I would say t3 are even pretty good this wipe cause people dont have easy access to the best ammo

[west plover]

a buddy of mine just buys those fast helmets since they're high ricochet chance

[bold kernel]

is the game stil unplayable?

like litterly unplayable besides the queue

[west plover]

I have it open now

[tall owl]

seems stable now, just had 2 consecutive raids without issue

[late crane]

queue times are a little long but its playable

[bold kernel]

and u can go in raids and stuff?

ok kk its fixed then

[lunar herald]

Does anyone have a good map for reserve? One that shows the marked rooms, only one I've seen just shows extracts and stuff

[west plover]

I haven't tried yet tbh, just in my stash. I will say that 1-2 hrs ago, it took like 4-5 attempts to go through the queue to get in

[tall owl]

map genie has the best one, but its behind a paywall if you want reserve

[bold kernel]

50k people queue now but there was a small litte patch

before i got in

[left summit]

damn thats a good one

[crystal oracle]

Ez

[west plover]

ima need you to combine those roubles 😅

[crystal oracle]

Dw I did

😁

[west plover]

nice

[crystal oracle]

Also I got these from reshala's guards are they any good or should I just sell them?

[jolly shard]

anyone have reserve medical folder keys and or black/white pawn armory keys?

[crystal oracle]

Nope sorry

[west plover]

you could try partying up with someone in #pvp-lfg hopefully... just wondering, are those the rb, rb1-3 whatever keys?

[late crane]

should i use my purple ornament on a gas analyzer

[terse cloud]

anyone else experiencing delay when getting killed? one moment im walking and hear a gun shot then like 3 seconds later im dead

[crystal oracle]

Yes

You need them for the quest

And its worth it

[late crane]

this but in reverse, i die THEN hear a delayed gunshot

[late crane]

alright bet thanks

[languid temple]

i mean there already is workbench craft or gas analyzers

so just see what u value more

[west plover]

sounds like desync maybe. not sure if it's a widespread issue, your server, or your connection... might be worth trying different servers out. either way, I have heard the servers are bad in general lately

[crystal oracle]

Yeah but ornaments is best way tbh

Your prob spending like 50k for a analyzer

[languid temple]

debatable tho, the purple ornaments can be quite valuable

[west plover]

I guess it just depends if you'll use the orbs for something else

personally I'm usually short some orbs before the xmas tree goes away, before I can get the really nice stuff

[languid temple]

yeah thats what i meant

[west plover]

I saw an orb for a split second with fence the other day, but it got sniped lol

[late crane]

i mean i havent really used my ornaments

i have some saved because i wasnt sure what to rip them on

[languid temple]

like if u want to go for ledx/weap case u gotta save up, if not then just use them for whatever

[late crane]

13 purple 😔

[slim pumice]

Does tarkov have a good anti cheat?

[late crane]

no

[tall owl]

NOPE

[slim pumice]

Aww

[late crane]

just go to lighthouse at night time and youll recognize that fact quickly

[languid temple]

tbh i dont see alot of hackers in aus/nz servers

[slim pumice]

Game seemed so promising, but feels like one cheater can ruin a lot

[tall owl]

Bring an m4a1 and expensive armour

go stand in a corner at night

[slim pumice]

like several hours of gameplay

[tall owl]

theyll come for you

[dawn geyser]

I have 3,300 hours and can count the amount of cheaters i've ran into with two hands

[late crane]

seems like its happening more recently

[dawn geyser]

You'll run into cheaters few and far in between, unless you run Labs 24/7

[tall owl]

I bet you 10 bucks, that if you bring an expensive loadout to labs

you will get found and head-eyes'd

can literally hide anywhere you want

[languid temple]

labs is just different lmao

[tall owl]

And now that labs is harder to get into consistently

where do you think the cheaters went?

[vivid ember]

chem pt 4 or out of curiosity

[sullen hinge]

LF duo chill lvl 16 (new player)

[west plover]

#pvp-lfg

even with cheaters, I still love the game. I don't usually bring super great gear nor weapons... I'm just a loot goblin... I just love finding stuff and sneaking out alive

[languid temple]

from what ive heard, interchange now has a lot of cheaters

[devout cypress]

How the raids going today boys?

i play interchange all the time never seen any cheaters. but i play at night

[rain shadow]

when do you know that someone is cheating

[languid temple]

lol interchange night and day, whats the difference

[west plover]

it's dark outside 😉

but yes, inside is the same lol

[devout cypress]

there alot of diffrence from the type of players you run into

[languid temple]

fuck that map and its lighting

[devout cypress]

most people who want to chad play daytime

[west plover]

yeah scopes are probably still dark on interchange

[devout cypress]

dark no issue here

[languid temple]

dunno tbh, never met one myself

[devout cypress]

change your post fx setting and it will fix it

[languid temple]

probably instant hs or just 'knowing' ur location without u doing anything

[devout cypress]

you can light up even dorms with the right setting. it crazy they need to make everyone play on the same settings it almost cheating if you do it right

[west plover]

the thing about cheating is that most people are probably sneaky and don't just headshot machine people.... so I imagine you wouldn't necessarily know who is hacking and who isn't. i don't really care personally

[hallow island]

nighttime is killa farmers, daytime is crabs

[languid temple]

yeah but then outside, the lighting is just a flashbang

hate tweaking post fx

[devout cypress]

Really i dont have that issue that odd hmm

[prime sapphire]

sometimes see people try to wallbang you before they have seen you. Or get shot at full auto from like 200m out without them having missed shots. Also tracking you wherever you go. Stuff like that

[devout cypress]

Maybe try turning your Gamma down?

i have been shot full auto from massive range before

[languid temple]

i just like having to change settings back and forth tbh

[devout cypress]

i havent messed with any setting yet. i only been playing 6 days so still seeing what i like

[prime sapphire]

All rogues have hax confirmed?

[devout cypress]

but for a new player i am doing really well. about to buy my first scav box

This que is insane. they need to add way more servers

55k que WHAT

wow this is gonna take forever

[steep osprey]

EU new player need help in woods

[devout cypress]

Screw woods and the landmines

[steep osprey]

agreed

[devout cypress]

had a full t20 pack last night and died to a land mine

[prime sapphire]

Yall better b done with gas ans now

[devout cypress]

i am beginning to hate that map

[steep osprey]

i have to do the jaeger quest

[devout cypress]

i like customs and interchange and i did a few rounds on shorline that was pretty fun

[languid temple]

lol are u a tarkov player if u havent been jumped by mines in usec camp

[lusty glacier]

in fairness theres only one unmarked land mine spot and its pretty easy to learn

[devout cypress]

Last night my scab spawning in with 75k roubles a pilgrom and a vpo veper hunter i ran right to extract lol

[prime sapphire]

Woods is pretty easy once you learn it

[devout cypress]

bro there more they one

[steep osprey]

like all maps

[languid temple]

woods is one of the easiet maps to learn

[lusty glacier]

and they all have signs warning you before you go into them

[languid temple]

its so open

[devout cypress]

there 1 at usec camp and there random sinlge mines around the map

[prime sapphire]

I would even say woods is the safest map in the game to make money on once you learn it

[languid temple]

nah only at usec camp

[devout cypress]

yea i know it now

[west plover]

just stay away from sawmill lol

[devout cypress]

so funny

[west plover]

no, really... shturman may gank you lol

[devout cypress]

I never killed a scabboss. yo guys do reshala minions have flashbangs?

[west plover]

they will push you like players sometimes.... if they don't snipe you

[lusty glacier]

the marked landmines are on the left

[west plover]

I know they have lots of nades. not sure about flashes

[steep osprey]

so anybody want to help my in woods

[languid temple]

lol sometimes u be looting and u hear shturmans svd pop out and know someone fucked up

[west plover]

#pvp-lfg

[devout cypress]

cause last night i walked through that hole in factory with my mate and got 4 flashbangs thrown right on top of me

[steep osprey]

thanks

[prime sapphire]

I am NA

[steep osprey]

i am EU

[languid temple]

oof

[devout cypress]

litteraly chucking bangs on top of me i couldidnt move for like a whole minute

then i died. it was a scav with a facemask on there like 4 of them

they fucked me up with m4s is that reshala minions?

[west plover]

when you say factory, do you mean the map factory or do you mean on customs?

[devout cypress]

customs

factory area at customs. i think reshala guards shit on me

[west plover]

so, Reshala can only be around new gas station, dorms, or the scav fortress/new construction building

[devout cypress]

i never seen reshala but there where 4 scav protecting these stairs

yea it was new construction around there

[narrow gull]

reshala usually sits in the back in dorms

[west plover]

oh interesting, mapgenie claims reshala can spawn by crackhouse too

[devout cypress]

what boss is good for a new player to try and take on?

is it the woods boss? i hear he is easy

[west plover]

lol

[prime sapphire]

Dorms or old gas

[prime sapphire]

Yes and no.

[west plover]

I think reshala is the only raid boss I've killed

and they seem to have been buffed this or last wipe

[prime sapphire]

He is very dangerous. just easy to outrange him and cheese the AI

[devout cypress]

i tryed to kill tagilla but yea/ that dude is a no go. he insane

[lusty glacier]

just imagine shturman as if he has 360 degree thermal aim bot

[prime sapphire]

^

[lusty glacier]

but outside a certain range he wont see you

[west plover]

he's a gorilla that will whack you to death with his hammer

[lusty glacier]

like sniper rock

[prime sapphire]

Ye basically

[devout cypress]

that dude runs so fast it insane i couldidnt get away from him. he jumped off the rafter and hit me with something. wasnt even a gun some huge melee weapon

[prime sapphire]

so he is easy if you know how to farm him. Hard if you stumble across him

[nova sentinel]

how do i change reticle

[devout cypress]

Oh it a hammer he has?

[nova sentinel]

on sight

[devout cypress]

right click i heard only certain ones can do it

[nova sentinel]

thx

[devout cypress]

i think that right i dont know never tryed it

[prime sapphire]

It is very easy to outrange the Bosses and cheese them that way, almost all of them can be farmed at range with relative safety if you know how.

[devout cypress]

yea but i dont have high pen rounds

[prime sapphire]

Distance is the easiest counter to all tarkov AI

Dont need them

at all

[devout cypress]

dude i dumped 4 ak clips into tagilla and he didnt die bro

didnt even slow him down

[prime sapphire]

In fact unless you are fighting killa or tagilla it is typically better to have high flesh damage rounds VS pen.

[devout cypress]

May i ask you guys a few question about guns?

[prime sapphire]

NO

[west plover]

just ask lol

[devout cypress]

i seem to really like using the little kedr sub and a few aks which ammo would one go for before i have the auction house?

[prime sapphire]

PSV

After that SP7

[devout cypress]

PSV where would i get that?

[whole thistle]

7.62 ps and 5.45 ps are the best you're gonna get for an ak

There is no really good 9x18

[abstract mulch]

Im brand brand new only 2 raids and i died in both. Can someone help me understand the controls and how to play and stuff?

[prime sapphire]

Bullshit SP7 is godteir

[cinder perch]

When will the christmas event stop?

[devout cypress]

well which ammo for the keder i really like that gun. cause i can control really well and i get alot of kills with it

[prime sapphire]

I clap giga chads with SP7 nonstop all the time. Its leg meta but stupidly powerful at it.

[devout cypress]

and i am close to medium range fighter

[prime sapphire]

PSV is the keder

and SP7

[devout cypress]

oh k which vendor sells that

[prime sapphire]

Dont remember off hand. Am in raid or I would check

[silk moth]

how do i put bullets in a mosin?

[devout cypress]

Ok so PSV for kedr and PS for ak. gonna write that down

you can top load the mosin

[prime sapphire]

topload. have loose ammo in pocket and press r

[devout cypress]

put the bullets in your pocket you dont need a rig

[silk moth]

can i do that in the menu?😅 i just extracted with it

[south lintel]

Is the vodka + shampoo for clin for 5.45 BP ammo worth?

[devout cypress]

i want one of those black aks with the holes on the side and a front grip and silencer there sick lookin. i am bear so i rock the aks

i didnt know you could change your uniform at ragman found that out last night that pretty cool. i hope they add urban camo

[nova sentinel]

how do i autosort inv

[whole thistle]

In the menus just drag bullets onto the gun

[devout cypress]

blue button bottom left

[bold lark]

To auto sort stash there’s a blue button bottom left

[devout cypress]

but it doesnt always work if your inventory really full

[whole thistle]

If that doesn't work then take the magazine off then load it and put it back on @silk moth

[nova sentinel]

thx

[devout cypress]

i need to make a million roubles today. i am at 2.6 mill i want to get to 3.5 before i buy my scav box i need it so bad

[prime sapphire]

PSV is Jaeger level 1

[whole thistle]

Why do go need 3.5m to buy a 1.1m item lol

[prime sapphire]

Cushion

[devout cypress]

Cushion excatly

in case i get some bad raids in a row

[whole thistle]

Still that's a big cushion lol

[devout cypress]

i dont like to go under 2 million

[prime sapphire]

Ehh not really

[whole thistle]

Bruh

[prime sapphire]

2mil is a good stable baseline

[vagrant cargo]

literally had my first decent raid

[devout cypress]

bro some of the guns kitted out can be hundreds of thousands of roubles 2 mill isnt alot

[vagrant cargo]

feels alright

[grim orchid]

every raid iv gone into thats online iv died

ran into 2 people one raid just mowed me down

[devout cypress]

Awesome gardredd feels good doesnt it

[vagrant cargo]

literally came in with a vpo and sling

[whole thistle]

No map gaming or just bad

[vagrant cargo]

it does feel alright

[devout cypress]

Nick i stick to the outside of the map and pick up scraps when i first started

[prime sapphire]

2mil is like 3 real kits, maybe 4 if you cut corners.

[vagrant cargo]

the vpo is my best friend

[grim orchid]

both, im gettin lost in fuckin Woods to get Jaeger

[devout cypress]

[devout cypress]

Nick use that mapgenie he linked to. it god send bro

[whole thistle]

[prime sapphire]

Are you on rn I can sherpa you through your quest.

[vagrant cargo]

interchange stashes kinda suck as far as being safe goes imo

[whole thistle]

It's the opposite, anything a pmc takes into raid has fir removed

[grim orchid]

im in a queue, had a glitch so had to restart 😦 but id be down for a little help

[devout cypress]

[devout cypress]

I need to get my machinery quest done. always get to truck and cant get out lol?

[vagrant cargo]

i dont wanna get kappa just do quests for ll4

i think only collection quest requires pestily mask right ?

[whole thistle]

Yes

[hearty magnet]

you can check on wiki

[versed valley]

just loot technical supply crates, its much easier and prob gives you more chanse of finding it

also why do you need it so badly?

[hollow tide]

New group of 5 all new to the game, what's the best weapon for us to be using pre level 15?

[versed valley]

you can live to level 15 without ammo caase

[versed valley]

sks or vpo 136 with ps gzh

7.62 caliber

or mosin

[hollow tide]

Yeah we figured those would be the best, which one would you say is better value?

[versed valley]

first look at ammo not guns

i like vpo 136 because you dont pay that much more and get cheap 30rounders

both work fine as scav killers but vpo is better because of that mag size

op-sks better if you want to snipe ppl w pso scope

[hollow tide]

Thanks for the info 👍

[queen glen]

vpo 209 is good

and prolly cheaper ? idk

[versed valley]

vpo 209 is not good until you get ap rounds

[west plover]

@hollow tide also don't be shy to do #pvp-lfg when you need other people. (although I think 5 man groups are the max). You may be able to learn some things by partying up with others, so just suggesting that. Also, checking wiki will help a lot... and you can get general flea market price checks from tarkovmarket website... but that won't matter until you guys are lvl 15

[versed valley]

it has so much more recoil ps is more effective

[vagrant cargo]

ps isnt much better than eko

[whole thistle]

On the profile page on the website

[west plover]

to compare ammo types btw - https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics

[sacred scaffold]

Can I locate prapors missing convoy and the temporary usec camp as a SCAV=

[west plover]

no, you won't get credit as a scav

[whole thistle]

No

[west plover]

the only thing you can do as a scav that would help your PMC is get found in raid items for quests

[whole thistle]

You can't do any "go here" or "grab special item" quests as scav @sacred scaffold

[versed valley]

it has less pen a bit more demage and much higher recoil

[vagrant cargo]

ah recoil

[versed valley]

you are gonna 2 tap thorax anyway

[vagrant cargo]

forgor to think of recoi

[versed valley]

so it has less pen and more recoil

[vagrant cargo]

l

[vagrant cargo]

it has like 2 less pen lol

[versed valley]

there is no reason to use that over ps

[vagrant cargo]

cheaper

and more swag

[versed valley]

cheaper?

[vagrant cargo]

also it goes in vpo 215

vpo 215 is my best friend

[versed valley]

so?

its only good for bolt action quest if you are poor

just use mosin fr

[vagrant cargo]

cant have scope if lvl under 15

vpo is only option

also its not THAT bad just shoot heads

its a sniper u should have time to line up ur shots with it

[versed valley]

hmmm... op-sks with pso that 5x times better than this garbage scope?

[vagrant cargo]

expensive

[versed valley]

not every enemy is dumbass scared timmy

[vagrant cargo]

yeah so what just shoot when they move whatever

[versed valley]

also both vpo's cost same

[fair solstice]

The video I just posted in #videos is actually hilarious if you guys wanna a good laugh just happened in my last raid

[vagrant cargo]

215 costs less than a bulgarian hoe

[versed valley]

sometimes its worth to take the shot, if you miss just reposition

[narrow gull]

jaeger 25mm mounts and pilad 4x32 + kochetov mount + arbalet mount

[versed valley]

its so much more trash tho

[vagrant cargo]

im kinda enjoying it

[whole thistle]

It works

[vagrant cargo]

cheap supressor

[versed valley]

then run it

if you like it

[vagrant cargo]

having a suppressor is kinda helping me a lot with sniping cant lie
