[gusty karma]

Hey, is there any groups here for new players? i been trying to play with randoms but i got killed twice when spawning

big fun

[lunar herald]

Use the lfg in this server

Make a post saying what region, level etc you are and what map you want to play

[crystal oracle]

SOMEONE TURN ON POWER PELASEEEE

Bro im 24 mins left

Power still aitn on

Img etting heated rn

[narrow gull]

go manhole

flip the power yourself

either of those work

[crystal oracle]

Im not risking it

[celest sage]

Don’t let it get far because the player scavs will take over

[crystal oracle]

I wanna go manhole tho

But I already know there will be a scav waitying

there was before

But I have to go out of D-2 all the way out to dome and down the hill

[gusty karma]

👍

[crystal oracle]

Its 22 mins remaining idk if I should just change extracts

[celest sage]

Not that bad, also get a red rebel

[crystal oracle]

Dont ahve enough

[gray crow]

If a boss hits me and I take dmg can I kill them or do I still lose karma

[celest sage]

900k rn from jaeger

[crystal oracle]

Wot

[gusty karma]

Is it normal to get killed by your own teammates when you spawn here?

[crystal oracle]

What lvl

[narrow gull]

imagine having jaeger leveled

[celest sage]

3 prob

[crystal oracle]

I dont have jaeger lvl 3

[celest sage]

Edge of Bankrupcy edition

[celest sage]

Then go do tasks smh

[gray crow]

Jaeger is the easiest trader to level by far

[narrow gull]

what world do you live in

[crystal oracle]

Im going manhole now

[narrow gull]

his quests barely give any rep

[crystal oracle]

FFS

I HATE THIS GAME

0.0 SECONDS AND A SCAV KILLS ME

FFS

AND IT WAS AI

[lunar herald]

If you join the ingame lfg of course people invite strangers just to tk them for quests and take their loot. If you join an LFG with people from this server you should be fine, I've played 30+ raids with ppl and not once been team killed (on purpose anyway)

[left summit]

what can i change for less recoil ?

[native glen]

I sold an item on the flea, but the reward in my messages has the money just blinking? Is there anyway to fix this?

[quaint onyx]

stock

[narrow gull]

muzzle devices are the best way to reduce recoil compared to stock guns

[quaint onyx]

and yes muzzle

[zenith nacelle]

hey all im about to attempt unlocking jager any one want to come with?

[violet sparrow]

I just accidentally killed santa and now my scav rep is -0.35 and idk how to get it back up lol

[left summit]

cant find a better one

[narrow gull]

ak-103 can take pt-1(which is same recoil as rubber pad afaik) or pt-3(which is slightly better)

[violet sparrow]

jmac i think is better

[narrow gull]

but they're skier stock

[violet sparrow]

but jmac can be upwards of 40k at this point in wipe if you dont have max traders

and using the rk-2 foregrip has worse ergo than urs but better recoil

and it wont affect recoil but i'd recommend switching your pistol grip to a SAW for better ergo

[left summit]

ight thanks

[crystal oracle]

Bruh

camping next to manhole rn

waiting for 7 mins to go by

timer is at 34:45

[violet sparrow]

hows that doin

[crystal oracle]

So far havent heard anyone

[spice hamlet]

hey so I have an empty fuel can, is there any way to refill it or is it just junk now?

[crystal oracle]

But I just hope a AI scav doesnt pull up

[crystal oracle]

Refill but its pointless

[narrow gull]

no, but you can craft it into something else in lavatory

[violet sparrow]

you can use it in crafts or sell it to therapist for a bit of money

[crystal oracle]

I thoguht you could refill it

[narrow gull]

cannot

[crystal oracle]

1 more in

min

And im out

[spice hamlet]

unfortunate. thanks guys ❤️

[crystal oracle]

np <3

25 second

[lunar herald]

Who has the audacity to list rye croutons on the flea for 61k lmao

[crystal oracle]

come on

[spice hamlet]

Also if your name is TheToast3r im sorry for blowing your head off with a VPO 101 in woods

[crystal oracle]

Managed to extract

les gooo

Thats A fuel matter done

Finally

[narrow gull]

you can't account share according to tos(if you are caught it's a ban afaik) but you can buy another copy and give it to your friend

there's international version you can launch anywhere and russia/CIS version you can only launch there

if you're buying outside of CIS you should have international

[wide fable]

im sorry what is cis?

just bought this game 2 hours ago, really new with this

[left summit]

i cant put the pt-3 on my ak103 for some reason

[narrow gull]

commonwealth of independent states
basically former soviet union countries

excluding poland and from there i think

[narrow gull]

you need the ak-74 pt lock

[left summit]

ight

[wide fable]

and yes what i meant was im trying to give thisto my friend in SEA by buying it for them from EU which is my current location. so i can gift it to them yes?

[narrow gull]

yup

[wide fable]

ah i see, thanks alot

[wide fable]

aight good to hear it! thank you, there is also EFT player base in SEA right?

[narrow gull]

yea, there are some, check #regional-communities

[wide fable]

thank you sir

[narrow gull]

i'm looking rn at preorder page there's a "buy as a gift" button where you can choose the activation region

[wide fable]

yea im looking at it rn too, so i have to choose EU?

[narrow gull]

so there you can choose either europe region or "other" region and your friend should be able to launch it

[wide fable]

ah i see i thought its supposed to be EU so that it can be launched anywhere, okay thanks again

[mellow matrix]

https://outplayed.tv/media/Pw4rKK this man really tried it on me xDD

but i gotta say his voice acting was suprisingly good xD

[spare rover]

are graphics cards worth keeping?

[shadow pecan]

yea

[quaint onyx]

if you want to go for bitcoin farm yes

also if htey are FIR then they can be sold later wipe for good profit

[spare rover]

FIR?

[shadow pecan]

its the abbreviation for "found in raid"

[quaint onyx]

found in raid

[unique steeple]

u need 3 for a quest as well

[cold loom]

If im playing scav do the sniper scavs shoot me

[unique steeple]

no

[spare rover]

is labs worth running or do i sell the card?

[unique steeple]

dont sell it

u can only sell it for like 60

not worth it

also u need to give 2 to jeager

[shadow pecan]

it depends on his skill lvl plus he has to do cold blooded to get that task

[unique steeple]

so? he will eventually do it

[wicked veldt]

i am doing gunsmith part 4, why is this not good?

[shadow pecan]

other drum mag

stanag 60 not pmag

[shadow pecan]

i dont know then tbh

[unique steeple]

u can use both

show me the specs

[shadow pecan]

look up rengarw

he made builds for all of them 12.12

totally fudged his name

fixed it

[narrow gull]

might be using adar upper receiver?

instead of m4 upper

[shadow pecan]

i think its the stock because you need moe and rubber butt pad

yea just go to his videos

[wicked veldt]

I founf it

[shadow pecan]

i used those i already did gunsmith 16

[wicked veldt]

it was the supressor it was the wrong one

[shadow pecan]

they work

[narrow gull]

if you look up that build uses overmolded grip instead of stock colt grip

which is extra ergo

[night zephyr]

Is this a good scav run?

Found some dead players on factory.

[narrow gull]

not bad but could definitely be better

[prime sapphire]

Not at all.

[night zephyr]

idk about the keys though

im level 2 so any key helps i think

[narrow gull]

keys are good

not expensive but good to use

[prime sapphire]

Factory will not make you money btw

[harsh crow]

I get shot on site by scav's when a scav so think i've got bad scav karma how do i improve that?

[night zephyr]

figured, just wanted to learn the map and have some fun.

[harsh crow]

great thanks for the quick reply @narrow gull

❤️

[idle robin]

is customs good for someone who just started

[shadow pecan]

yea

[idle robin]

im just running around trying to find stashes, is that the best thing I can be doing or is there a better strat

[shadow pecan]

well you can do task

stash runs are good on shoreline and interchange, on shoreline its low risk but it takes awhile to do because its a big map, on interchange its fast but other people requent them

[idle robin]

okay

im also struggling to read my map

i keep getting disoriented and ending up at the wrong place 😦

could someone in one of the voice chats here help?

[strong venture]

what map are u trying to lear

learn

[idle robin]

customs

[night zephyr]

you can make decent from customs i believe

if you have the right dorm keys

[idle robin]

lol atm im 100% avoiding dorms

[graceful summit]

dorms isn’t the only money part on customs doe

all the tech crates and other crates r the moves

[shadow pecan]

theres safes

[potent crater]

Dorms makes money all the time but only of uou dont die

[graceful summit]

i’ll tell u rn

[strong venture]

its essential one to know how could i help u

[graceful summit]

u can make more money from the rest of the map compared to a few lil safes

it is good money but u don’t need them for good money on customs

[idle robin]

well my issue pretty much boils down to getting lost

[potent crater]

I would eatch a video of pestily explaining the mao and follow it around innoffline mide

[night zephyr]

before the wipe i used to run a set of rooms on dorms, it usually got me good loot.

[idle robin]

like I know some of the landmarks, but most of the factory looks the same and I somehow end up following the wrong train tracks

[strong venture]

have u ever opened one of the wiki maps it helps a lot

[potent crater]

Tah it has tons of money if you dont die

[graceful summit]

on customs ?

the 4 giant silos wouldn’t be to bad to go off of

[idle robin]

yeah the big concrete areas

[willow ocean]

tips on learning maps fast?

[graceful summit]

rather than trying to follow train tracks imo

[night zephyr]

sometimes a quick yt video helps

[graceful summit]

scav in

run around

[night zephyr]

that too

[willow ocean]

ok

[graceful summit]

figure out the layout and look at an interactive map

helps to find loot

[midnight bear]

Do a similar route each time your in also

[shadow pecan]

h double d

how expensive

[willow ocean]

any specific tips for woods?

[shadow pecan]

bush wookie

[midnight bear]

To learn or just in general

[willow ocean]

both ig

[neat ginkgo]

why cant i enter any of the open Beginners assistance channels?

[shadow pecan]

control + r

[midnight bear]

Watch out for sniper scavs, always keep an eye on open areas and treelines, when starting out stick to the outer sections cause boss spawns in the lumber yard in center

Unless you want pvp then go there

[neat ginkgo]

oh thats wierd

i guess they were full

[willow ocean]

I think ill stick to outer sections

[olive bough]

Any good spots for shooter born in heaven on customs?

[mellow matrix]

find somewhere across river and snipe to big red office when they loot pc's

from skeleton to construction

[olive bough]

Thanks 👍

[mellow matrix]

or camp landbridges

[midnight bear]

Whats a good gun for shooter born in heaven btw

[mellow matrix]

they have to cross them to get to extract

[mellow matrix]

DVL, my favorite gun in the game

supress it throw a vudu

its amazing

[midnight bear]

Will give it a bash

[narrow gull]

ak-101

[midnight bear]

got too many quests to do now so will get round to it eventually haha

[mellow matrix]

just be patient, its a bolty, wait till they stop or at least run out of stamina and headshots only

[narrow gull]

best mv of all ARs and allows for follow up shots compared to dvl

[midnight bear]

Am only level 18 so a take it al need to get it off flea, same for ak 101 i imagine

[mellow matrix]

oh...

you need to be lvl 28 and compete "a long road" task

or its called somethign similar

to get it for 80k

[valid hatch]

is there another good shotgun ammo for raiders other than ap 20?

[mellow matrix]

on market dvl is 180k so i gguess thats a no....

[pure mist]

Bolties are not really good for shooter born

[mellow matrix]

BRUH

they are the best weapons in the game imo, just for my playstyle i guess

i have more kills with bolties this wipe than ar's

[pure mist]

With semi you can shoot follow up shots much quicker

If you miss one you can still have another chance for sbih

[mellow matrix]

no need for a followup if the first one is a headshot, and bolties are forcing you to be patient. They stop and die

[pure mist]

Bolties are just fun for me they have no advantage compared to semi

[midnight bear]

Aw nightmare

thats that task out the winodw for a while haha

[pure mist]

That’s like saying just bring shrimp and just face tap everyone

I have gotten quite a few first shot missed then follow up moving sbih

[mellow matrix]

not really

[bold kernel]

Are you done Sbih this wipe?

[mellow matrix]

dvl has 0.45 MOA, best accuarcy in the entire game

[pure mist]

No I still need one more shot on reserve

[bold kernel]

What gun have you been using for it?

[narrow gull]

100m doesn't need that much moa tbh

[mystic sigil]

when do they remove tree?

[hidden night]

whos coaching?

[mellow matrix]

supressed it has 0.76, thich is still great and if its 150m+ i guarantee you they will have no idea where you are

[olive bough]

Oh btw I have standard edition, and I was wondering if beta container is worth the 1.8Mil

[mellow matrix]

unless you are in just aa common spot

[quaint onyx]

i assume this weekend

[pure mist]

That’s doesn’t matter

1 -1.5 moa will do just as fine

[mellow matrix]

it does

[bold kernel]

From what I know, most wait until epsilon

[pure mist]

You’re not sniping at 300-400 meters

It doesn’t matter

[olive bough]

Mostly because I got some nice reserve keys and I wanted to try to get tank battery

[mellow matrix]

i just shot a guy in the top of head at 70m with a 100 dura akm and it missed

[nimble haven]

is a fn scar good i just picked one up on a scav run it looks dope

[olive bough]

Hold on lemme see how to get it

[mellow matrix]

i got him with a followup, but if it was a dvl he would be dead in the first one

[pure mist]

1 moa is 1” at 100 yards

[mellow matrix]

2*

tarkov has it doubled

[pure mist]

Even that

Still doesn’t matter

[nimble haven]

is a fn scar good i just picked one up on a scav run it looks dope

[pure mist]

2 inches won’t make a difference

[quaint onyx]

what she said

[nimble haven]

wanna bet🥵

[pure mist]

Bruh bolties in tarkov just in disadvantage compared to others

[lost mica]

Id liek to run duos with someone whom has some experience - if a guide is willing to guide on some loot runs pm me

[mellow matrix]

it can

im posting a clip 1 sec

[prime sapphire]

Except for ELR

[left sluice]

anyone want to play?

im new

[serene reef]

New phone who dis

[pure mist]

Yes

[mellow matrix]

idk man, i just love them because they are so satisfying and very good, you do need a sidearm tho

[narrow gull]

even if you miss due to 2 inches of difference you can just do a follow up since semi

[pure mist]

Bruh having the abilities to have follow up shots matters way more than .5 moa

[pure mist]

Not saying they are not

But they are in a disadvantage in tarkov

I love the dvl it’s my favorite sniper but Soemthitn like m1a just works better

[prime sapphire]

Except at those ranges you only get one shot typically and your first one needs to be a kill.

[mellow matrix]

but if you fire a followup you basically give your position to them

and they move after the first one

[pure mist]

It’s not irl

[mellow matrix]

so its not likely you are gonna hit it

[pure mist]

If I miss it I can have another shot

Let’s say I can’t hit a headshot

I’d just kill him

[narrow gull]

it's like 100m
you can def make at least 2 shots accurately very quickly on the same target

[mellow matrix]

https://outplayed.tv/media/dnXDLZ

[prime sapphire]

Sure but not at 500+

[mellow matrix]

the MOA matters even at this range

it was full dura akm

unless his helmet bounced but i dont think it did

[pure mist]

Aimed high

[narrow gull]

you can count 500+ lines in tarkov with fingers of one hand

[pure mist]

First shot you aimed high

Lol

[mellow matrix]

nope

i watched it on 0.1 speed

it was on his helmet

the top of it but on it

[prime sapphire]

Nah you would need two maybe 3 hands tbh.

[pure mist]

What’s the zeroing

[mellow matrix]

and since i was zeroed to 25m, and it was like 70, it should have went down not high if anything

so it was just innaccuarcy

[prime sapphire]

Multiple on lighthouse, interchange, woods, and shoreline

[pure mist]

I don’t know what to say to you. Bolties are not better lol for sbih

If it’s so good why do streamers use 101

[mellow matrix]

oh sorry 50 meters

[pure mist]

Also it could’ve been a ricochet

[mellow matrix]

25 was for the pk06

[pure mist]

….

[mellow matrix]

pretty sure i saw it hit the rock above his head

and no saprks

sparks*

[pure mist]

You couldn’t have seen it

[rough scarab]

i know what the problem was

[pure mist]

Bc your recoil

[rough scarab]

simply a lack of skill

[pure mist]

Lol

[mellow matrix]

but isee 3 holes in the rock after 3 shots

[rough scarab]

E help me cheese punisher 4

[abstract stirrup]

i keep getting a thing where i just lose all audio and its like tarkov cant even find my headset

[lost mica]

is it wired?

[prime sapphire]

DMR's are objectively better 10-500m. 500m + a bolty is the only option. So yes, as long as you do not want ELR you should use a DMR for maximum effect.

[lost mica]

sounds liek your cable is broken

[abstract stirrup]

works fine for discord

[narrow gull]

that's not the point
the point is you're only going to use those if you're actively going for them

[pure mist]

That’s what im saying

[abstract stirrup]

its not broken its only tarkov

[pure mist]

For sbih dmrs are better

[prime sapphire]

Correct. That's literally what I had said from the start.

[rough scarab]

SBIH TT only

[prime sapphire]

Nobody does ELR unless intending to.

[narrow gull]

i don't remember that but whatev

[pure mist]

Unless u shooting 300+ or 400+ meters it ain’t gonna matter using dmr or bolties

[narrow gull]

maybe i mentally skipped it

[mellow matrix]

i still think they are better for stuff like shoreline, and more budget to run, you only need to bring a couple of rounds and spare in pouch so you can use good ammo even on a budget, they are supear satisfying and accurate and they force you to be patient

but on customs i agree

[prime sapphire]

I guess I figured it was implied that ELR isn't something that just "happens". Lol my bad 😅

[mellow matrix]

bolty would suck because there is so much cover for people to push you with and not as much flanking oppurtunities and long range sightlines

but shoreline and maybe reserve/woods

hell yeah

[pure mist]

Idk where you would normally find 300 + meters without camping a spot

[mellow matrix]

DVL supressed has 950 muzzle velocity with m80 ammo, while sr25 has something like 700

[vocal bay]

Hey can anyone help me out. I'm kind of new. Just need a few tips on surviving.

[mellow matrix]

and unsupressed has even more

[mellow matrix]

anywhere on shoreline xD

300 is a little much

but 200+ is almost everywhere

[nova sentinel]

how much time is run through in raid

is it 5 min

[pure mist]

as @prime sapphire sad 200 meters ain't gonna matter

1 moa mdr is 100% good enough for any sort of normal sniping

[mellow matrix]

well it just mattered for me at 70 xD

[pure mist]

it doesn't?

[mellow matrix]

but i guess its kinda rare

[mellow matrix]

you literally saw the clip

[pure mist]

could have been a ricochet bc your recoil so high

[mellow matrix]

if it missing a headshot

[pure mist]

you couldn't see it

[mellow matrix]

no it coulnt

couldn't

[pure mist]

on my screen you aimed high

[mellow matrix]

count the holes in the rock

it went over

and it was on him

[atomic elm]

are there lootable pcs on reserve?

[narrow gull]

it was the tip of his head on the first shot from watching the clip

[prime sapphire]

300 can be easily found all over lighthouse, shoreline, woods, some spots on customs, outdoors on interchange. Can easily find 300 and less on any of those maps just running around. Not so much past that though usually the longer shots running around will be 150-300 which again. A DMR excellls at. Even the VSS and VAL are phenomenal at these ranges with a rangefinder.

[mellow matrix]

thats on the helmet

[pure mist]

idk apparently they are "not accurate at 80 meters"

[nova sentinel]

will vulkan ever come to tarkov

[pure mist]

i shot real guns at 2 moa never had a problem below 200 meters

like it was always dead center pretty much

[prime sapphire]

To be fair also. I run an AKM built as a DMR and it excells out to 250. So like, you have options.

[mellow matrix]

but as i said, tarkov has double MOA

[pure mist]

did i not said 2 moa?

instead of 1

[mellow matrix]

you said you shot real ones with 2

so that would be 4 in eft

[pure mist]

so in game = 1?

1 moa guns in game

= 2 moa irl

didn't you say that

[mellow matrix]

no

[pure mist]

.....

[mellow matrix]

other way

1 irl = 2 in game

[pure mist]

bruh

you misunderstand me

[quaint onyx]

this convo is too confusing

[pure mist]

shooting a 1 moa gun in game is same as shooting 2 moa gun irl is that what you mean or no?

[mellow matrix]

no, other way around

[pure mist]

so, i said i shot 2 moa gun irl it should be equal to 1 moa gun in game

1 moa gun in game

= 2 moa irl

[mellow matrix]

shooting a 1 moa gun in game is like shootin 0.5 MOA irl

[pure mist]

so 2 moa irl = 1 in game

[mellow matrix]

its double in tarkov

not half in tarkov

[pure mist]

bro you still misunderstood me

[quaint onyx]

you just have to recreate that scenario with a dvl

see if you hiut the first shot

[mellow matrix]

but waht you are saying is not at all what i said

its the opposite

[quaint onyx]

however at that point the bullet is different

[mellow matrix]

with .45 MOA, yes it would

[pure mist]

1 moa is double the accurate of 2 no?

[prime sapphire]

Yes

[mellow matrix]

MOA is INACCUARCY

[quaint onyx]

there could be desync

[mellow matrix]

the more the worse

[pure mist]

that's what i meant

[quaint onyx]

also chance of ricochet

[pure mist]

look at my sentence

1 moa is twice as accurate as 2

how is that wrong

[mellow matrix]

so when i say its double in tarkov i mean that 1 MOA irl, its twice as innacurate in the game

[narrow gull]

my brain is expandingggggg

[mellow matrix]

so 1 irl = 2 ig

[mellow matrix]

.

[quaint onyx]

do the guns have MOAs irl?

[prime sapphire]

[mellow matrix]

this is how

[pure mist]

bro you mis fucking understood me

[mellow matrix]

you said 2 irl is one in the game

right ?

[pure mist]

no?

[narrow gull]

yea

[pure mist]

read it again

[prime sapphire]

We did it he is figuring it out!!!

[mellow matrix]

WTF

[narrow gull]

it's a real concept

[drowsy lynx]

Hey i bought escape from tarkov 2 hours ago almost and im still waiting for the closed beta invite email would anyone know why its taking this long?

[mellow matrix]

YOU JSUT SAID THAT

holy shit man

[quaint onyx]

they put the gun in a bench and shoot it bunch of times?

[mellow matrix]

you are literally ....

i dont even know

[serene reef]

oh btw, listen to EVE when it comes to sniping

[pure mist]

shooting 1 moa guns in game

[serene reef]

that scope 1p59

[pure mist]

= shooting 1 moa guns in game

yes?

[serene reef]

im a follower now

[pure mist]

bc double?

[serene reef]

i have joined the cult

[mellow matrix]

is like shooting 0.5 guns irl

[narrow gull]

basically shoot a target at range a bunch of times, measure the distance between shots and calculate moa

[mellow matrix]

it doubles in the game

[pure mist]

omg

[serene reef]

took it to lighthouse

[mellow matrix]

not divides by 2

[pure mist]

look again

[serene reef]

got like 7 rogues

350m even

[narrow gull]

it's more involved than that but that's the gist

[mellow matrix]

i did look again

you are wrong xD

[pure mist]

shooting 1 moa guns in game = shooting 2 moa guns in game

no?

no?

[prime sapphire]

Yeh I fucking love that thing :3

[mellow matrix]

in game in game

tf man

you mentioned game twice now

[pure mist]

bc dvl says it's .5 moa

[serene reef]

Also do you like my new name xD?

[pure mist]

then it's actually 1 moa in game?

[mellow matrix]

yes

[pure mist]

ok

now im shooting a dmr

in game

that says 1 moa

[round trail]

does the compass you buy from jaegar stay with your character if you die?

[pure mist]

which is 2 moa

[quaint onyx]

yes

[pure mist]

right?

[serene reef]

MOA is basically 1inch per 100m

[mellow matrix]

if its 1 moa irl

[serene reef]

so 0.5 moa is half an inch of inaccuracy on 100m

read that somewhere

[mellow matrix]

then its 2 in game yes

[pure mist]

no, stop, im not talking about irl yet

[mellow matrix]

yes it does

[smoky wing]

Did i miss something? Why is wrench 80k now?

[pure mist]

now im shooting a dmr in game that's 1 moa

[smoky wing]

Did i miss something? Why is wrench 80k now?

[prime sapphire]

Wrench is 80k?

[pure mist]

it actually performs 2 moa in game, right?

[mellow matrix]

yes

[pure mist]

now im shooting a gun (not the same one) at 2 moa irl

they performs the same

[pure mist]

no?

[smoky wing]

Short supply?

[mellow matrix]

no

[prime sapphire]

Soft kitty warm kitty little ball of terror.

[mellow matrix]

it performs 4 moa in game

[pure mist]

bruh @prime sapphire idk how to make him understand

[round trail]

i am trying to save up for the lucky scav junk box but should i buy compass first? Im new and only confident in extracting on reserve and I stuggle to know where I am or which way im going on most maps

[spare thunder]

Damn, lost all my money trying to learn PVP again

[pure mist]

it's not the same rifle man

[mellow matrix]

it doesnt say it in the stats

its because its calculated in a different way in tarkov

[smoky wing]

@round trail u get compass from quest

[serene reef]

Im putting this in the folder of things that make me happy

[smoky wing]

For free

[narrow gull]

don't buy compass

[pure mist]

legit can't make this man understand

[prime sapphire]

I would just drop it at this point. It's too much.

[drowsy lynx]

Hey i bought tarkov 2 hours ago and i still havent gotten a beta access email or whatever

[pure mist]

idk what i said was confusing

[past obsidian]

when i build the scav case, can i choose which junk box it uses now? ive seen reddit posts of people loosing boxes with stuff in it

[drowsy lynx]

do any of yall maybe know why its taking so long

[serene reef]

actually a lot of the time

people dont find as many tech items as others need

so the supply is close to 0

[smoky wing]

Fair

[serene reef]

then items are sold for that

[prime sapphire]

I think he is confused at everything more so than your words.

[serene reef]

like if its the only wrench on flea

[smoky wing]

The new flea is rly fucked

[round trail]

how far along in is the quest for the compass

[serene reef]

..

[smoky wing]

Compared to old flea

@round trail one of the first

From prapor

Actually

[round trail]

is it search mission?

[smoky wing]

Yes

[round trail]

oh ok thanks

[mellow matrix]

look, IRL MOA is calculated by half a radius of innacuarcy. Half the line in the middle of a circle around the place where you are aiming. But in tarkov its calculated with the full radius

[smoky wing]

Friendly reminder

Dont use scav saiga 12

[prime sapphire]

Yeah none of this is against what E had said. :3

[smoky wing]

Learned it the hard way after i saw 50 moa

Kek

[prime sapphire]

[mellow matrix]

ookay

at this point im getting lost aswell

lets just drop it xD

[smoky wing]

@mellow matrix big moa bad

Small moa good

[mellow matrix]

jes

[pure mist]

...

[serene reef]

50?!

[smoky wing]

@serene reef ye

[serene reef]

that must be the new underbarrel xD

doublebarrel*

[smoky wing]

Magnum buckshot + 20 durability

%

Off a scav

[serene reef]

+new sawed off double barrel xD?

[prime sapphire]

Well now that that is out of the way.

[smoky wing]

Double barrel has quite okay moa

[prime sapphire]

[smoky wing]

I already have mastery level 3

On DB

[serene reef]

even with long barrel it has 20ish

on 100% durab

[smoky wing]

No?

[serene reef]

it said so

when i inspected

[smoky wing]

Express buckshot + 750mm barrel

Is 9 moa

[serene reef]

Oh thanks for the smart idea of using the proper ammo btw

[smoky wing]

Normal buckshot is 10

[serene reef]

smart boyo

[mellow matrix]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Performance_modifiers you can scroll down to accuarcy page

it has its radius listed as a radius not a diameter liek irl

so you can check that out

[smoky wing]

Sheesh still moa talk

[mellow matrix]

at least im convinced this is how it works, there is a slight chaance im wrong tho

[mellow matrix]

ok sorry just wanted to post that wiki page xD

[smoky wing]

There is prolly a wiki page

[mellow matrix]

it could clarify things

[smoky wing]

Or video page

[mellow matrix]

i just posted it

[smoky wing]

Tarkov in no way shape or form

Uses IRL balistics

Or irl recoil

Its all nikita dream

[mellow matrix]

it kinda does, werent there just a ballistics overhaul ?

[smoky wing]

He wakes up and says "aight this ammo will have X pen" and they do it

@mellow matrix yeah and made 90% of the gun who have close to no recoil IRL

Kick as if they are chambered in lapua

Magnum

[mellow matrix]

i know

thats bad

but the bullet characteristics

[smoky wing]

Iam a weak Guy IRL i weight barely 68 kg

[mellow matrix]

flight characteristics to be exact

[smoky wing]

And i still control full auto on akms

Better than pmcs

[pure mist]

bro non of this is against what i said

[smoky wing]

In this game

[pure mist]

bro just drop it you're not getting it

[teal pivot]

I don't understand this game. How am I supposed to get better when I get 1-tapped head-eyes by people 2 minutes after entering raid? I can't even find scavs to get shotguns

[smoky wing]

@teal pivot let me guess. Factory?

[quiet rock]

do i even need these?

[teal pivot]

Factory, Customs, Interchange

[smoky wing]

@teal pivot scrap factory

[quaint onyx]

yes

[quiet rock]

what for

[smoky wing]

Interchange dont go to the mall?

[teal pivot]

I only did one run there anyways

[smoky wing]

Loot around the mall

Not inside it

[pure mist]

shooting a 1 moa in game rifle = shooting a 2 moa gun in game rifle. 2 moa tarkov gun = 2 moa irl gun bc i already doubled it, so it's already twice as bad, understood? this will be my last commend on this subject @mellow matrix

[mellow matrix]

but if it says the gun is 2 MOA, it means the round can hit in a diameter of 2' at 100 meters. DIAMTERER so 1' each direction from the center IRL, right ?

[quaint onyx]

hideout and crafts

and can sell at flea for decent money

[quiet rock]

oh alr

[edgy sun]

Are lead slugs better than buckshot against pmc ? or should i not bother with both and choose another weapon than saiga12g , i am only level 4

[smoky wing]

@edgy sun no

Slugs useless against PMC

Unless u use ap 20

[civic swallow]

I haven't played in a while, is it possible to repair a face shield that caught bullets and have the cracks go away, or does it only fix the durability still?

[smoky wing]

@civic swallow yes u can

[edgy sun]

Thank you Victy! so i should stick with buckshot for now until i have access to other type of shells?

[smoky wing]

Its bugged. But if u repair your face shield

U can go to hideout

Walk around hideout in first person

And tab out

Faceshield will be fixed

@edgy sun yes

[civic swallow]

sick, I'll try it out thanks.

[smoky wing]

Buckshot is ur best bet

As u can get some cheeky headshots

Like this

[vestal crater]

why cant i put this on any guns/rail mounts?

[edgy sun]

Thank you, so what is the point of lead slug then, they are just more accurate and do not penetrate better than bucks?

[smoky wing]

@vestal crater can or cant?

[vestal crater]

cant

[narrow gull]

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

[smoky wing]

@edgy sun they dont penetrate at all, they are for shooting legs or unarmored targets

Cuz they deal tremendous damage

[edgy sun]

Thank you so basically like buckshot, i see

[smoky wing]

Yeah. But u trade randomness for skill

Led slug will kill pmc in 3 leg hits

Or 1 thorax hit if he is unarmored

But any helmet or armor will stop it

Buckshot is more universal, as u can both tap legs close range and also try for headshot

As u have 9 bulletsx35 damage

[edgy sun]

awesome, thank you very much

[smoky wing]

Instesd of 1 chonky slug

[supple steppe]

Hey if anyone wants to play and teach me the game I bought the game yesterday dm me (eu)

[smoky wing]

@edgy sun once u get jager ap 20.. oh boy

Shotguns are dope

Slug that 1 tap thorax

[edgy sun]

yeah i love them 🙂

[mellow matrix]

im literally fucking drawing it rn xD

[smoky wing]

And pens level 4 armor

[mellow matrix]

if im wrong i'll get it soon

[strong jolt]

if I never use my scav, does having bad scav karma do anything to me?

[vapid flume]

no

[edgy sun]

you ll have bad prices with the scav vendor

[smoky wing]

@strong jolt yes

[narrow gull]

longer scav case cd

[smoky wing]

Longer scav case

[narrow gull]

and more expensive car extracts

[edgy sun]

fence

[smoky wing]

Worse fence store

[strong jolt]

scav vendor aka fence?

ok

fucking santa man

[smoky wing]

Lol

How hard is it to spot santa

[bold kernel]

is there a timer on tasks?

[smoky wing]

@bold kernel only on daily tasks

24h

[strong jolt]

well on interchange at night it's a bit harder

in the garage

[narrow gull]

and on weekly tasks

[bold kernel]

so not on the jaeger intro task

[smoky wing]

No

Some tasks can be failed tho

And will have to be re-done

[bold kernel]

okay thanks

[smoky wing]

Skier is famous for those

[bold kernel]

I need some help with getting the scav case in hideout. It requires 1 scav item box, but I have 3 and they're full. Do I get to choose which one it takeS? I dont wanna lose all my items

[smoky wing]

Skier has a task to stash sv98, golden watch and something else on customs

But u are not allowed to kill scav

If u kill scav, quest fails and all items u stashed are gone

[narrow gull]

pk is the stash sv98 task

[smoky wing]

@ifogel#0674

[pure mist]

bro you don't get it do you? just drop it

think about it tmr

maybe you'll understand

[narrow gull]

omg, i forgot about that

[coral junco]

guys

[drowsy sentinel]

Does anyone have a decent graphical setup for someone with a 1060 and an i7

[smoky wing]

@ifogel#0674 yup

[coral junco]

i killed someone and got his gun but forgot the mags

[languid lynx]

Have not played in almost a year, just got the ultra med key, is it worth to keep or sell for almost 2 mil, i watched a streamer open it 20 times with no LEDX a single time, why is the key worth so much? he made only around a mil off 20 runs if that.

[smoky wing]

@languid lynx cuz the room has ledx spawn

[coral junco]

whats

the price of that ammo

[smoky wing]

If u play interchange is definitely a keep

[coral junco]

for that gun

im kinda sad 😭

[smoky wing]

@coral junco m80 from PK is cheap

And still good so far

[coral junco]

i forgot the mags from the guy who i killed

idk what ammo he had

i hope it wasnt good

[smoky wing]

It prolly was

[coral junco]

how much per bullet u think?

[smoky wing]

Hard to find bad 7.62x51 ammo

[languid lynx]

Yes I was reading and watching some videos and they said it was insane before, but now it looks like its insanely rare because of dynamic loot. Would you reccomend selling the key for the 2mil?

[weak anchor]

who needs to get into rb-st message me

[smoky wing]

Depends. Between 300 to 2/4k

[coral junco]

shit

im such an idiot

he dropped his rig but i didnt pick it up

[smoky wing]

@languid lynx if u play interchange. No

If u dont. Yes

Its very unlikely that the key wont brinng u 5x or more the money

That u would get from selling it

That key used to be 20mln+

But it had infinite uses

[languid lynx]

ok ty

[runic canopy]

is anything of this worth something

[smoky wing]

@runic canopy yeah quite a lot

Keep vase for quest

[torn lake]

does the 4x24 scope have 2 zoom levels or just one?

[smoky wing]

Thermometer, vendor for around 30k.
Helmet on flea

Sugar keep

@torn lake which scope

Sugar will increase in price dramatically later on

[torn lake]

pso 1 4x24

[runic canopy]

i have no flea

[smoky wing]

@torn lake 4 times only

[torn lake]

thanks bud

[misty ginkgo]

Or keep it and use it?

[smoky wing]

@runic canopy wait till u get it

@misty ginkgo sure. U can also do that

[runic canopy]

do i sell anything of what i got rn

[smoky wing]

I usually sell FIR sugar

And keep non fir sugar

For own use

[coral junco]

sell on flea/

[runic canopy]

what do i sell rn

[smoky wing]

@runic canopy vendor thermometer

For sure

Free 30k

[runic canopy]

what vendor

[smoky wing]

Thera

[coral junco]

k

[smoky wing]

Will pay 29200 osh

Ish

[runic canopy]

and thermo

vase is 42k

thermo 28k

[smoky wing]

Keep it

Keep vase

[runic canopy]

why

[smoky wing]

U need 2 of those

For quest living high is not a crime part w

2

From ragman

[runic canopy]

do i look like i can do quests

[jade bay]

is it common that player scavs kill other player scavs?

[runic canopy]

i havent even done 1 quest

[smoky wing]

U should

[runic canopy]

i cant

im ass

[smoky wing]

Or u wont progress in this game

At all

Especially after flea nerf

U pretty much forced to do them

[runic canopy]

i have nothing to progress anyways

i already got gamma

and max stash

[smoky wing]

Oh yeah. Talk to me in 3 weeks

When u run sks with ps ammo

And u fight full level 5 guys

24/7

[runic canopy]

so what

[misty ginkgo]

Not really. Happens often tho.

Never trust anyone

[runic canopy]

i get killed by scavs anyways XD

[smoky wing]

So u will be just a free frag. No traders =no good ammo

No good ammo = no kills unless enemy is afk

[jade bay]

nah i was just confused cause i saw he was a scav ran and then he shot me o.O

but hey i prefer losing the "free" loot than even more karma xd

[runic canopy]

right and who is supposed to do these quests when im terrible

[smoky wing]

You? Come on first quests are braindead easy

Killing 5 scavs on customs is rly that hard?

[runic canopy]

yes

[smoky wing]

Then either request sherpa to help u

Or change games

[jade bay]

i got a machinery key spare if u need it (eu)

[runic canopy]

whats that for

[smoky wing]

Tarkov is all about quests now

[jade bay]

bronze watch u need for a quest

u need a key to open the truck

[smoky wing]

@jade bay he needs to do debut

First

To unlock the watch quest

[jade bay]

ye but i dont need the key

[smoky wing]

Isnt machinery key 100% spawn chance anyway?

[jade bay]

well going into dorms can be utterly painful for some1 new

[smoky wing]

Fair

[jade bay]

i tried it 4 times

[smoky wing]

The key is to time it right

Dont rush, but also dont be late

So the dorms stay empty

[jade bay]

i rushed screamed im just here for a quest and they let me live

[smoky wing]

Haha

[mellow matrix]

waht the fuck man this is so confusing and its put in such a weird way too lmao. Now i kinda get waht you meant, and it is waht i meant aswell but i think its just a miscomunication where i referred to IRL MOA of a gun being the same as the one in stats and then doubled it, and you just took the game MOA as being already doubled.... i cant figure out this shit at 2am

i will try tomorrow

but if indeed i just couldnt understand you im sorry xD

[pure mist]

np go to sleep lol at 2 am it's understandable lol

[rough crag]

Just lost my meta ump kit to some guy called membert with a shotgun in the corner of factory

I think that’s enough tarky for one day

[narrow gull]

gmt +3 detected

[terse galleon]

if anyone is cool with playing with newer players, please hit me up. I don't want to make people mad because I hold them back in raids lol. I know some maps I just haven't learned much of the PVP aspect yet

[narrow gull]

if you want to up your pvp game playing with others will hold you back

you want to be the one taking engagements

[terse galleon]

Yeah I get that, I think playing with someone who can teach me how to approach fights would be helpful though

[rough crag]

Just run

[smoky wing]

Haha buckshot goes brrr

[rough crag]

Run in there

[rough crag]

It was the dumbest spot ever

I’ll show u

[smoky wing]

How does "meta" even go together with ump

Ump is terrible smg

[rough crag]

No recoil?

What

Ump literally melts

[smoky wing]

No recoil but also no rof?

And low mag sizes?

[nova sentinel]

how good is m856a1 ammo

5.56

[smoky wing]

@nova sentinel meh. Decent

[misty ginkgo]

It’s meta this wipe lmao

One of the best smgs

[smoky wing]

@misty ginkgo u said igolnik is meta 20 min ago as well

[bold kernel]

UMP is the best smg what

literally running it rn

[smoky wing]

I fail to see how ump is better than let say vector

[barren oasis]

p90 still best

[misty ginkgo]

Tell me how BS and Igolnik isn’t meta

[smoky wing]

Or p90

[bold kernel]

vector is ok but ump shreds

[smoky wing]

@misty ginkgo bs is, igolnik isnt

[nova sentinel]

what about warmageddon

[smoky wing]

@nova sentinel trash

[nova sentinel]

isnt that good ammo

[smoky wing]

No

Its actually one of the worst

[rough crag]

Just because it sounds cool doesn’t mean it’s good

[nova sentinel]

what about m993 and m63

[barren oasis]

goldneck is meta cus it zeros out ever armor

[smoky wing]

M993 best round

[misty ginkgo]

They’re pretty much the same thing. Depends on the map you’re playing.

I prefer Igolnik on late wipe Labs as most people run tier 6 then.

I prefer BS on any other map as it’s rare to see Tier 6 there.

[nova sentinel]

but warmageddon description is all boasty and makes it sound cool

[smoky wing]

@misty ginkgo one thing that makes igolnik bad

Is that

1. Price
2. No one tap headshot on good or even standard helmets

[pure mist]

you can't get igolnik from vendor

so

theres no price

[nova sentinel]

but is m63 good

[smoky wing]

@pure mist u can craft it and take the price that way

[misty ginkgo]

You can’t buy it?

Just because you don’t know how to aim doesn’t mean it isn’t a good round? It’s just not the best for you.

[smoky wing]

If there was no damage decrease on pen, igolnik would be god tier

@misty ginkgo no, it just means that where BS 1 taps head igolnik will need 2

Sometimes igolnik wont even one tap level 4 helmet

Because the damage decrease will leave the head at 1-3 HP

Same issue that mp7 AP rounds have

[rough crag]

@smoky wing have u used ump this wipe

It’s godly

I’m telling u

[smoky wing]

I used it before

Too

Also igolnik has pretty much no fragmentation chance

Igolnik is 2% BS is 17%

Igolnik was super meta 2 years ago or so cuz it was bugged

Instead of having 2% frag chance.. it had 98%

[narrow gull]

igolnik is the example of most pen isn't always the best
but generally is

[smoky wing]

So it was pretty kuch 74 damage 57 pen round

[misty ginkgo]

Problem is aswell - that you will never hit 100% headshots.

You’re gonna hit thorax (body armor) a few times aswell. I prefer aiming for thorax with high pen ammo. Higher chance of me hitting my shots.

[smoky wing]

@misty ginkgo sure but still

Random headshot from BS will end the fight

Random headshot from igolnik wont 70% of the time

Not to mention igolnik is worse in every single way unless u fight level 6 armor

Which is minority

Cuz most geared players run level 5 armor like killa or aacpc

And even against level 1

[misty ginkgo]

Like i said. The only time i run Igolnik is late wipe labs.

Literally everyone will run Tier 6. At least they did the last few wipes.

[rough crag]

I wish scav weapons werent ruined all the time

[rough crag]

But this thing

[somber rain]

Its half dur

[rough crag]

We’ll survive

[smoky wing]

It should be random

[somber rain]

Half dur or not

[smoky wing]

Like between 30% and 90% dura

[somber rain]

Akm is a fucking slapper

[rough crag]

I mean do u think scavs will take care of their weapons

[smoky wing]

@rough crag why wouldnt they?

[somber rain]

My name used to have [AKM Enjoyer] at the end of it

[smoky wing]

Its literally what keeps them alive

[somber rain]

Akm is fun gun

Big boom stick

[smoky wing]

If i was in a city like tarkov

I would kiss my gun goodnight

Cuz that gun is gonna save my life later

[somber rain]

I would simply leave tarkov

[smoky wing]

All i say it should be random

Not between
Rekt or super rekt

[unique steeple]

I think it’s fun

[smoky wing]

Bruh watch and learn

[somber rain]

They're just too broken to me

[somber rain]

No fun

Literally just point and click

[somber rain]

Now THIS is a meta gun I enjoy

[rough crag]

I just like pushing people with it

[narrow gull]

isn't it literally just any gun?

[mellow matrix]

The handguards looks RPD-y but black

[smoky wing]

@somber rain 0.99999(9) ergo

Just enough

[rough crag]

I lost all my fucking good gear tho

[somber rain]

Too much

[rough crag]

Once upon a time I was staxk

Stacked

[spare thunder]

One thing I don't understand is I keep getting killed by headshots

[rough crag]

I killed tagilla twice today

But

[spare thunder]

5/7 times today I have died from a headshot

[smoky wing]

@somber rain its so low because when i ADS it warns peoplr to run away

[rough crag]

I lost it all

[somber rain]

Fr

You see an enemy 20m away, zoom in, you're barrel stuffing them now

[narrow gull]

a guy i know told me it's because the head hitbox is massive
