[lavish tinsel]

Your name has been lvl25 usec for a while

[open hedge]

Can you read

[lavish tinsel]

Oh ok

[open hedge]

I don’t play often anymore

[digital sable]

Before stash 2 and cases, I had to vendor so much loot I wanted to use.

It didn’t help my stash was half full with food items for no good reason

Now I hoard MMAC armored rigs since they’re small and save space by being armor and rigs lol

[lavish tinsel]

I just keep items for kappa, but they barely take up space.

And items to craft in hideout

[digital sable]

I sell basically all hideout stuff and buy it when needed— at least after my single junkbox fills

usually quest stuff gets priority

[frail anvil]

Lol

All theses guys having junk boxes and cases

[woeful spruce]

this is a very good mindest as hidout stuff tends to get cheaper as the wipe progresses so you are probably getting a profit doing that

[frail anvil]

Im over here not even with a docs case yet

[open hedge]

I only have 2 mags cases and 2 ammo cases nothing else

[digital sable]

Biiig time. I sold metal parts at 180k a pop and bought them at 15k when I needed them

[woeful spruce]

if you dont have a junkbox that explains the clogged EOD stash lol

[lavish tinsel]

I found like 5-6 when they were like 250k each

now they're like 15k and you find them basically every lighthouse raid

[covert kayak]

hello what is the beginners channels for?

[unique steeple]

to ask questions

[merry berry]

flexing on newbs

[unique steeple]

and get answers

[digital sable]

I’m hoping the military corrugated hoses go down soon though 😪

[unique steeple]

i hope not

free money

[lavish tinsel]

It wont, it's a rare item

Unless they make them craftable they will drop like the green batteries did.

[digital sable]

I’m waiting to at least have something good to build that requires the upgrade before I drop the cash on those

They do drop eventually as more people finish their hideouts

Though probably not by a lot necessarily

[edgy plover]

It might even go up before it goes down. The bulk of the playerbase hasn't really hit Heating 3 or Air Filtration

[unique steeple]

u need 5 total

[digital sable]

🥲nooo

well short term I bought a weapons case first lol

[unique steeple]

u did the mech barter?

[frail anvil]

Bro

[covert kayak]

can we just join any chat that is open?

[frail anvil]

I cant find toilet paper

[open hedge]

Tp is only hard to find when you need it

[unique steeple]

its all over customs

[frail anvil]

Depends in which map you wanna do if you wanna play a specific one

[edgy plover]

Medbags and med crates, stashes. Lots in customs and woods

[digital sable]

I run Factory scavs at night and find toilet paper all the time in the supply crate by med tent

Toothpaste+toilet paper+soap

[covert kayak]

okay sry just dont want to step on toes

[frail anvil]

I hit them all but I wasnt lucky enough

[edgy plover]

Yea they never do spawn when you're looking for em lol, good luck

[lavish tinsel]

same applies to all items when u need em

[frail anvil]

Youre good you can also use lfg to ask for a squad

[heavy shadow]

in any game

[frail anvil]

Thats one part I dislike

[edgy plover]

Literally found a TP while typing that message

[frail anvil]

BROOOOOOO

Cmon

[heavy shadow]

uff

[frail anvil]

Unfair

[digital sable]

Run Factory scav and go med tent between PMC searches

[heavy shadow]

imagine not having TP in your hideout

[digital sable]

I find soo much there

[open hedge]

Give it to him

He deserves it

[frail anvil]

If I was familiar with factory

[ember pendant]

reserve psp cages and stronghold are good for finding them too

[frail anvil]

Been playing woods for so long idk any other map

[digital sable]

Factory scav at night is a magical experience. All the player scavs are like minded farmers. All the PMCs are cowardly questers.

[frail anvil]

Those 6L31 mags took me aweek

[whole thistle]

At least it's not factory

[open hedge]

You can craft them

[serene reef]

hold up, are the servers still down xD?

[digital sable]

Woods is nice. Shoreline is good too for a similar experience

[unique steeple]

nah

[digital sable]

Maybe he needs the toilet paper to craft lavatory

[open hedge]

Bruh

[frail anvil]

Ik but as I stated I cant find tp so lavatory aint built

[unique steeple]

what lvl r u bro

[frail anvil]

11

[open hedge]

🗿

[digital sable]

You found 3 60 rounders before finding one toilet paper??

[unique steeple]

how the hell havent u found a single tp in 11 lvls

[open hedge]

Wait till flea before you start shit in hideout

[quiet cobalt]

I got my 3 60 rounders on a scav run literally the raid after I got the quest, did a interchange run and managed to kill killa with a mosin and took his stuff and ran

[serene reef]

as a scav?

what's your scav karma?

[quiet cobalt]

0.2

But I thought it was worth the trade to do that

[obsidian zodiac]

santa clapped my rep, rip

[quiet cobalt]

I only started playing again 2 days ago

[frail anvil]

Yessir but I also havent found for toz so that can tell you alot

[frail anvil]

Idk maybe im looting wrong shit

[frail anvil]

Probs should

[sinful valve]

You mean to tell me… the queue is at 60k?

What the fuck…

[frail anvil]

Lol

[hasty tendon]

queue?

for wat

[sinful valve]

Loading into the game

[hasty tendon]

oof

[tame shard]

i got in queue when it was at 6k lol

[sinful valve]

Lucky

[hasty tendon]

oooh i see

queue of 47k

shieeeeeeeeeeeet

does this happen often

[frail anvil]

Lately yes

Especially at these times

Its peak times

[autumn glade]

what is the heaviest item I can fit in my alpha

(to farm strength)

[frail anvil]

Not sure if secure containers count towards strength stats

[autumn glade]

they do

obv

its just ur weight

that matters

[frail anvil]

Alpha is what 2x2?

[autumn glade]

yes

[frail anvil]

Figurines then

[bold kernel]

how to become emissary

[frail anvil]

That I do not know an answer to

Maybe look for some type of info on tarkov forums

[hasty tendon]

oh cool its going down pretty fast

in 6 mins it went down by 35k

[frail anvil]

@edgy plover sorry for ping but do you have an answer to this question

[dusty laurel]

if you have flecette loaded into a shotgun should you aim for the legs

[edgy plover]

I believe they directly represent BSG and are hired or appointed directly through official BSG channels. I may be wrong, but that's how it works to my knowledge

[quaint onyx]

chest head

[frail anvil]

@bold kernel

[bold kernel]

ohk

[frail anvil]

Thanks

[untold vector]

I fking Put my RIG full of meds in my pmc bag to save some space and now i went pmc run on factory and lost all my meds... PLS SLAP ME HARD IM DUMB AS SHIT

[frail anvil]

Yikes

Unfortunate

[digital sable]

Loot is temporary, but the lessons you learn are permanent

[unique steeple]

Well spoken

[untold vector]

ahahaha true

[hardy crest]

how much scav rep do you lose for killing a guard

[mossy mica]

If you carry items out of raid via your pouch but you don't successfully extract is the found in raid tag removed from that item?

[unique steeple]

Yea

[lavish tinsel]

There is always more meds to find. Might be rough but ye

[digital sable]

This man is going back on an all cheese diet

[frail anvil]

That depends if you kill him as a scav vs pmc

[untold vector]

yeah im fine now, i bought this medical case and i store them in there

[hardy crest]

scav

[frail anvil]

What was the command

[lavish tinsel]

[untold vector]

:)

[frail anvil]

https://youtu.be/vpCDkj5vAsk

[devout grove]

ill need to see that

[unique steeple]

-0.6 i belive

[midnight silo]

if you extract on a scav and your screen just goes black, what do you do?

i had a bitcoin and stuff

[unique steeple]

Wait

[midnight silo]

like it's almost as if i'm still in the raid

[unique steeple]

If u restart u will still get the same screen as extract usually

Or the raid could also never have taken place

[midnight silo]

oh okay, thanks man.

So I guess i'll just wait

[sinful valve]

Is anybody else having loading issues?

[open hedge]

Bruh it’s 1pm for me I ain’t even home yet

No rush

That task is a pain

[empty tendon]

Servers are under maintenance rn

[sinful valve]

Oh the 24 hour one?

[empty tendon]

Yes

They are still not finished with it I believe

Game might be functional but iffy since they are still doing work

They said on twitter they are having a bit of issues they are trying their best

[sinful valve]

Ah I see

Thank you

[empty tendon]

Of course np

[dusty laurel]

why is queue going so slow

[dawn geyser]

Because it is o_o

[edgy plover]

Depends on the gun, mostly defer to cost

[open wraith]

Does the weapon you're using need the recoil reduction or additional ergo?

[edgy plover]

Which barter?

[kind saffron]

what barter? I love the looks and feel of the b25u

[open apex]

did the game die

[edgy plover]

Am I blind? Is it on this list? https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/GP_coin

[unique steeple]

Yeah it’s there

Well ingame atleast

U need to do fertilizers first

[edgy plover]

Gotcha, was looking at all the barters on the wiki (still in queue) and couldn't find it. Great info, thanks!

[stable island]

How do u get the pouch that has more spaces

[pure mist]

Gamma from buying the game, epsilon for punisher. Kappa for no lifers

Yep

[edgy plover]

Gamma is from EOD ($) and Epsilon from quests or Beta you can get in-game via a barter

[lavish tinsel]

Q aint even moving... This is sad

[barren sapphire]

yeah servers are omega dead

[serene reef]

yeha

lots of 504 errors like when it was bad

[dire rock]

They’re working on them rn

[serene reef]

did they mess stuff up instead of fixing xD?

[dire rock]

Technical work on the backend servers has been extended for some time. We will inform you as soon as the situation stabilizes. Thank you for your attention.

[barren sapphire]

their server infrastructure is fucked. Everytime they have to deploy a new build the servers are overloaded with the deployment. Then people join the game again while the servers are still recovering from the deployment, which fucks the servers up again

every single time

all while nikita pretends "buying more servers wont fix it" which is bullshit

[dire rock]

They have explained multiple times why the servers struggle and buying more servers isn’t as easy as it sounds

[barren sapphire]

the only reason why its "not as easy as it sounds" is because they havnt future proofed their database interfaces

which is such a beginner mistake

if you have a clean interface you can add and/or remove as many as you want

i did that for 3 different companies the past 20 years

[wary valley]

Get ratiod

[dire rock]

Please just have some patience with them, the servers have improved a fuckton over the years, you guys don’t know what it was like to have 30 minutes load times only to have constant frame drops/disconnects and other issues, they have improved

[serene reef]

go volunteer rn and help them then 5head 👏 👏 👏 👏

make servers playable chop chop chop chop

[obsidian zodiac]

ask big niki to fly you ruski style and you can help do his too xD

[vapid flume]

why is the queue still 21k after an hour

[barren sapphire]

theyd have to recode their entire interface repository and they are either not competent enough to fix that piece of spghetti code, or they dont want to

[wary valley]

Cause no one is in the game

[lavish tinsel]

Servers down

[dire rock]

I understand the frustration but if it was a simple fix I assure you they would have done it, also if you knew the history of the game at all you’d know this was supposed to be a fundraiser game and was never supposed to be fully supported, hence the lack of anticheat and server issues @barren sapphire

[wary valley]

Ammo grenade med

Weapon case

Mag case

[severe girder]

noooooooo

i just put my son to bed

[wary valley]

L

[dire rock]

@lavish tinsel they’re working on servers ATM

[dawn geyser]

#eft-announcements

[lavish tinsel]

Ye ik, someone asked why queue is 21k. And i answered 😄

[dire rock]

Until it’s not

Aka we don’t know

[quaint onyx]

some time

[stone urchin]

it is when you pay millions to make moves that non going to watch 🙂

[dire rock]

I think weapons are still up

[quaint onyx]

thicc wep should be able

[dire rock]

No items though

[dawn geyser]

ShiroTenshi — Today at 12:35 PM
Technical work on the backend servers has been extended for some time. We will inform you as soon as the situation stabilizes. Thank you for your attention.

Just have to slowly work your way up to the barter for those

[dire rock]

I just buy them with euros

[lavish tinsel]

There is a therapist lvl 4 barter for thicc items

[wary valley]

Thursday

[dawn geyser]

What?

[severe girder]

is BSG twitter feed always so toxic?

jesus christ

[wary valley]

Tursday

[dawn geyser]

You mean in the comments?

[dire rock]

Don’t look at Twitter

[severe girder]

yeah. it's just wow

[wary valley]

L

[dawn geyser]

Twitter comments is a cesspool just like #eft-chat xD

[dire rock]

But yes the community loves to hate this game

[wary valley]

YoP

[lavish tinsel]

Yet they still play it

[dawn geyser]

That's why I sit here, it's mostly safe here.

[wary valley]

Item case sucks

[quiet cobalt]

That doesn't sound legit at all, How do you have so much if you don't even have the Flea or most keys?

[wary valley]

15k euros

I need euros

[dawn geyser]

Not too irregular, could run a lot of scav, could just not be interested in quests but decent at the game, could run stash runs

[edgy plover]

a bit over 2 Mil, for a case that can fit cases. Pretty darn cool if you ask me

[wary valley]

It can

Did not know

I have remembered

[dawn geyser]

Reminds me of I have spoken

[dawn geyser]

I'll say again - what?

[wary valley]

Hursdat

[dawn geyser]

[wary valley]

Games back in 9:13 minutes and hours for me

See ya guys thursday

[dawn geyser]

lol

[wary valley]

Id buy 2 thick items cases

[edgy plover]

Depends which barter you use, but yea, crazy pricy

You can work it down to being quite cheap if you craft everything from base components, but, that's a crazy amount of work

[quaint onyx]

not so good anymore

it used to be 1 roler

its mostly the parts you get from it

[edgy plover]

Yea, just a different sort of cost. The only good argument is if you stock up really early on those components, when they're relatively dirt cheap. Otherwise you're right

[quaint onyx]

as far as i know that doesnt work anymore

[dawn geyser]

@mental cloak Are you stalking me on forums

[edgy plover]

Correct, you just get what the gun would have sold for bare

[dawn geyser]

There's a barter for the boss cap?

[pure mist]

Thunder beast

[pallid river]

huh? pack in the mail its gone

[dawn geyser]

Waow

[pallid river]

she like how i smell cologne

[dawn geyser]

Two boss caps now I'm guessing?

[edgy plover]

dont tell anyone about the Ash-12 vodka barter

[pure mist]

Used to be just boss cap

[edgy plover]

Oh yea, that barter is nuts. Ash is just a sub-100m DMR, 1 taps thorax lvl 4 and below though which I just adore

Pretend it doesn't have full-auto

[wary valley]

I might go ash12 gaming soon

[pure mist]

Ash shell drop sound is sick

[edgy plover]

🤤

Essentially unless your barrel is within them, it's a bad call

[sterile smelt]

Not really with the 20 rounders.

Its a really bad call unless your like ass hair close

[sterile smelt]

^

Doesn't mean it's not a good gun

[edgy plover]

I've always loved guns that excel in semi, never been good at controlling full auto recoil :/

[sterile smelt]

Great gun, 10/10.

[edgy plover]

Play to your strengths for sure

[sterile smelt]

Just don't full auto unless your touching tips

[oak bluff]

Do i sit on the black screen after the scav run or do i exit?

[violet furnace]

what is nikita's twitter?

[wary valley]

Sit

[edgy plover]

Try to wait it out

[oak bluff]

AND boom. auth error , closed game. all down

[edgy plover]

Point fire is nuts, and the only way I can use full-auto lol. Whenever I have to aim at any sort of medium-long though, it gets away from me pretty quick

[open hedge]

Hip fire is nuts in this game

Place center of screen near their head and you’re bound to hit it

[normal plover]

ye bc in this game bullets come out of the barrel of the gun

[open hedge]

Yes

All games should do that

Seriously

We need a revolution in gaming

[quaint onyx]

except ks23

[open hedge]

^

[normal plover]

ks just has shit spreed im pretty sure

[quaint onyx]

ks23 they come from your dick

[sterile smelt]

I think my stupidest hip fire kill was I pre fired a door way I knew a guy was holding with a 75 round drum mag on a SKS

[open hedge]

Nah ks23 physically shoots about a foot below the barrel

[vital oasis]

game still down ?

[abstract viper]

Yeah

[vital oasis]

spain

[versed valley]

why?

[sterile smelt]

About 20 rounds of me just clicking my mouse while being half dead from his shitty aim I hit one in his mouth

[open hedge]

If my gun is down your throat how does it hit the wall to my left?

[versed valley]

it may be realistic but might be pretty hard to make, its just better to improve things that actually are important

[open hedge]

Well r6 should do it since it’s supposed to be “realistic”

[quaint onyx]

what is r6?

[open hedge]

Rainbow 6 siege

[frail anvil]

I was placing my center of screen near head on scavs today

[bold kernel]

Fake modernization
Lie about the game is available in update.

100% shitty company bsg

[frail anvil]

Most kills was thorax

[quaint onyx]

ok

[open hedge]

The game where a 9x19 has more recoil than a 308

[versed valley]

nah

[frail anvil]

#eft-announcements

[open hedge]

It depends on the gun

And the barrel

[versed valley]

it was realistic but now its much more like cod with cool mechanics

[open hedge]

It’s kinda cringe now

[normal plover]

plus content is alot less

[open hedge]

I at least wish that shotguns in r6 were good

[fiery rover]

they are

well

one is 😄

elas shotty

[versed valley]

ela shotgun, sas shotgun, french shotgun...

prob because smg fires faster?

[fiery rover]

i think r6 is very realistic just look at lions main gun 😄

[open hedge]

Also pistols do more damage then any ar in the game other than dmrs

[versed valley]

or 50 cal uzi

[open hedge]

The 50 uzi is kinda busted right now they are probably gonna nerf it

[versed valley]

as i said they dont aim for realistic game more cod styled game where nothing makes sense

[fiery rover]

i think the aim should be playability and not realism in r6

the problem is their balancing is shit

[narrow gull]

.50 AE doesn't have nearly the same energy as an actual .50 cal

[open hedge]

They were originally aiming for realism kinda wish they stuck with it

[fiery rover]

realism is shit

it does not work for the competitive aspect in siege

[versed valley]

ready or not is kinda what r6 could have been

[open hedge]

Indie devs usually do better than companies at this point because companies are lazy

It sucks because indie devs can’t fix bugs as fast so most good indie games have a lot of bugs

[quaint onyx]

indies have to make a good game

big companies can just push out shit

[open hedge]

Exactly

And people still buy it

[quaint onyx]

for a time anyways

i think people are gettins sick of it though

[open hedge]

Cod should have died like after Cold War

[narrow gull]

companies are not lazy
companies make game for profit and they make financial decisions
indie make games as a passion and they (usually) do what community wants and what actually improves the game

[fiery rover]

on the bug side it is really simple

[versed valley]

minecraft java edition is pretty much exeption

[open hedge]

I think gaming should be about the people not money but we all know that will never happen

[fiery rover]

it it costs more to fix than the bugs costs in revenue don't fix it

[mossy mica]

CoD has been dead to me since Ghost

[open hedge]

^

[fiery rover]

i think gaming should be about everyone doing what i tell them to do

[versed valley]

cod rn is waves of complaing on top of more complaing

[open hedge]

No the community not just me it should be for everyone not just a money grab

Entertainment should be made to be good

It’s a shame companies usually become super greedy after a while

[fiery rover]

thats why i am really happy that we get dune 2

the movie

because that was good enterntainment and i like the wording of the director: "i made the movie with a specific audience in mind: me"

[open hedge]

I just hope that the current age of indie games becoming much more professional and popular I hope that larger businesses start to give their devs more creative freedom and allow them to make games that are genuinely good instead of games that just meet the quota

[fiery rover]

i actually think that the big businesses will get worse

i mean their games

[open hedge]

I hope not

[loud canopy]

anyone o now to chill help me play

[open hedge]

But that’s probably the reality of it

[narrow gull]

wishful thinking

[loud canopy]

anyone o now to chill help me play

[fiery rover]

what i realised over the last years it: good developers leave the big companys and make small indie games

[open hedge]

#pvp-lfg most of us answer question but don’t queue with people

[loud canopy]

ohh mbbb

sorry

[fiery rover]

also the game is still down

[open hedge]

It has happened numerous times

[versed valley]

better find in #pvp-lfg

[loud canopy]

games up forme#

[fiery rover]

wut

[sacred tendon]

is game up? it put me in queue

[fiery rover]

i was 2 times in queue and when queue was over it was just not starting

[pastel gorge]

game is up for me 2

[quaint onyx]

they havent made any announcements

[fiery rover]

and on top of my screen it says: technical works are extended for indefinite time

[narrow gull]

they finally let tarkov die ^_^

[versed valley]

3k left so will se if i can get into game to get some more errors and crash

[dawn geyser]

Yes unfortunately you can only expect the servers to be unstable during this maintenance

[open hedge]

At this point on the topic of big companies vs indie games in terms of quality. All we can hope for is that indie companies grow larger and can put out higher budget stuff without getting greedy but only time will tell

[weak forge]

Don’t worry guys, Microsoft will fix CoD and WoW. /s

[dawn geyser]

[quaint onyx]

wow xbox exclusive

[open hedge]

Probably not though

[weak forge]

At least the fired Kotick

[narrow gull]

microsoft doesn't do xbox exclusives

anymore

[versed valley]

microsoft fucked up minecraft so they will fuck up everything else too

[mossy mica]

Waiting for CoD to go exclusive to PC/Xbox and be part of Game Pass.

[narrow gull]

also if halo finite is anything to go by i have faith, save for business practices

[open hedge]

Microsoft’s games recently have been pretty dull I hope they step it up

[fiery rover]

good that i don't care about cod 😄

[open hedge]

Not bad but not good

[weak forge]

Tell me you only play bedrock without telling me you only play bedrock.

[sacred tendon]

i heard infinite still doodoo tho

[versed valley]

nah i dont play that shit

[open hedge]

Microsoft doesn’t control java does it I thought they only did bedrock or is it just different teams?

[narrow gull]

i mean there's a bit of a lack of content and the reason most people drop it to my knowledge is the battle pass

but it was fun when i played it

[weak forge]

Yeah, Microsoft has control over bedrock. The Java version is still the core mojang group

[narrow gull]

not 10/10 but solid 7-8/10

[open hedge]

Bedrock is just too accessible it just becomes dull and with no unique substance imo

Java is just a little more enjoyable with its mechanics I’m still not a fan of Minecraft but that’s just my opinion

[sacred tendon]

idk, infinite is lacking a lot of what most halos have by default, it disappointed me for sure

[narrow gull]

afaik oracle has rights to java

[open hedge]

I uninstalled halo pretty quick it was just so dull after a while

[narrow gull]

which is not a part of microsoft

[tepid cove]

ive got 15 milion, should i trade in all my money for gpus and start a farm?

[sacred tendon]

same, i finished campaign and uninstalled

[open hedge]

Up to you really

[narrow gull]

your average seasonal release

[open hedge]

Although I will say Sonys games have been really good recently

Exceeded my expectations

Like the spider man game a few year ago was amazing

Good dlc too

[versed valley]

take 2 fucked up
red's fucked up
activision fucked up
battlefield developer (forgot its name) fucked up as well

[open hedge]

It’s all falling apart

Hopefully it either falls or is reborn

Better hopefully

[quaint onyx]

dice?

[gloomy gull]

I'm in!

[open hedge]

But due to people mindlessly buying new games because “this one might be as good as the others” are keeping us in this terrible cycle

[placid sentinel]

its still worthwhile to complete tasks that give you negative rep with another trader, right? like operation aquarius pt 1

[open hedge]

Yes

[bronze laurel]

yes

[placid sentinel]

thanks

[versed valley]

like bf went into hero shooter because its better for money making not what fans wanted

[open hedge]

Exactly

[quaint onyx]

guys there is still bethesda

[open hedge]

“Choke your character and power” that’s not battlefield

[heavy shadow]

"Fallout 76"

[open hedge]

Bought by Microsoft I think

[open hedge]

Oof

[quaint onyx]

maybe they learned

[open hedge]

Probably not man

[heavy shadow]

they never do

[versed valley]

fallout 76 is kinda getting fixed and now its playable

[open hedge]

They made their money that’s all that matters

[heavy shadow]

thats not the point the game is still shit

[versed valley]

still they are working on it

[open hedge]

The worst fallout story to date

Imo

[quaint onyx]

what story?

[open hedge]

Exactly

[narrow gull]

on the other hand there's stuff like hell let loose, ready or not, god of war, dying light 2, squad
when fans start leaving failing franchises others grow

[heavy shadow]

its just some weird spinoff like TES:redguard

[quaint onyx]

i actually preordered FO76 and played the beta and got my money back

[open hedge]

I really hope they don’t fuck up dying light 2

[heavy shadow]

yea but RoN is already having issues because they were forced to release their early access 6 months in advance

[valid hatch]

has anyone been able to find a game yet?

Im stuck on matchmaking

[narrow gull]

if they do we'll just have to wait for another parkour based game to pop up

[dawn geyser]

Servers are back up but still chugging lol

[versed valley]

i am in

[valid hatch]

i know i was wondering has anyone had any success

[versed valley]

and scav loaded up no problem

[valid hatch]

gone 5 mins on my factory scav

[open hedge]

Who did?

[heavy shadow]

ready or not

[open hedge]

Wow that’s pretty shit

I want to get ready or not but I’m still contemplating

[heavy shadow]

yeah for the regular plebs its gonna come out like next month or something

dont get it yet#

[valid hatch]

kicked out of queue :/

[heavy shadow]

wait a few months

[dawn geyser]

Wait it's going to be free to play? Are you kidding me!?

[open hedge]

I’m super dissatisfied with destiny 2 the games not bad it’s just the paywalls and grinding time are insane

[heavy shadow]

no

[open hedge]

$60 every 2 months for destiny 2

[dawn geyser]

You're talking about Ready or not right?

[dawn geyser]

That game is just the process of robbing people legally lol

[open hedge]

The first game was so good which is the sad part

Also they killed off the character with the most expensive voice actor

I wish destiny stuck with the direction d1 was going $20 game $30 per dlc $100 for all dlc

But no each dlc is literally $200

[coarse raptor]

and don't you like lose access to the previous shit or something? i remember reading like old destiny raids would be removed

[dawn geyser]

Well, it's the issue of the fact they not only make you pay for the DLC, but they remove the DLC after a while

So you pay the money and you don't even have access to what you paid for later on

[ornate owl]

should i sell any of these?

[dawn geyser]

855 and 856 you can go away with

FMJ as well

[ornate owl]

alright thanks

[weak forge]

Don’t forget bundle exclusive dungeons.

[dawn geyser]

I strayed away from that game a long time ago - I don't support that sort of practice ; looks like it just got worse

So there's dungeons only accessible if you purchase a pack?

[open hedge]

I still keep in touch with the lore because the lore is still good but I ain’t gonna spend any money on it after I pre ordered it for $120 just to get no pre order bonuses and then they drop it for free

[weak forge]

The new witch king bundle is like $80 and will have 2 exclusive dungeons apparently

[dawn geyser]

[weak forge]

Kind of ironic that Activision were the ones keeping them in line.

[open hedge]

True

[mossy mica]

Most of my guns are of the AK variety at the moment. They are split between 545x39 and 762x39 ammo. I have AK-103, AK-104, AK-105, AK-74M, AKM type models. I have started to collect a decent amount of BT and BP ammo for 545 but mostly just have PS and T-45M1 for 762. At level 10 is PS a reliable ammo or should I stick with using the BT and BP 545 until I can get something better than PS for the 762 rounds?

[dawn geyser]

I need a drink before reading that

[weak forge]

Hurry, I need to learn too.

[open apex]

i cant find it for mechanic is it lvl 4 barter ?

[mossy mica]

Ha sorry, knowing which ammo to use seems vital to winning fights in this game

[open hedge]

Ps for 762 is very good up to lvl 4 armor so for its price it’s very efficient

[dawn geyser]

Level 10 7.62x39 PS is very solid. I would use PS over T-45.

As for 5.45, if you want to remain effective in PVP ; I would use BT at the least

[open hedge]

Bt is chad

[dawn geyser]

If you're not rolling in BT, I would have one magazine a different color (Grey 30 rounder) Packed with BT, and PS in orange 30 rounders

That way you swap to your orange mags when dealing with scavs

And when you feel like you're going to bump into a fight

Hold R + Scroll to your grey magazine

It will load up your BT round magazine

[versed valley]

or you can tag them

[sacred tendon]

whats a good round for sks? i only have lvl 2 traders

[dawn geyser]

You couldn't tag magazines as of 12.11

7.62x39 PS is fine Kurome

[versed valley]

ps really

[open hedge]

Ps is way better then I needs to be for how cheap it is

[versed valley]

at level 3 prapor you get bp i think

[dawn geyser]

Does tagging magazines not give you an error code anymore?

[open hedge]

Punisher part 5

[sacred tendon]

stick with it for now then? i have tons of ps

[versed valley]

tagged them in raid and it worked

[dawn geyser]

Yes stick with it until you have access to 7.62x39 BP

[vast wedge]

how do I even do this weekly? I hardly see this shit off scavs

[dawn geyser]

Can you tag rigs too?

[sacred tendon]

ok tyty

[open hedge]

Magic

[versed valley]

idk havent checked, prob not

[mossy mica]

Is there somewhere I can reference for ranking the types? Does BT come before or after BS, BP? How does one go about finding that info?

[open hedge]

Ballistics page

But in general

[versed valley]

helmets are kinda easy to find on scavs at high dur

not guns tho

[dawn geyser]

Same with the magazines, you could but it gave you errors in 12.11

[south lintel]

Anyone have a map of lighthouse with common callout locations?

[brisk nacelle]

so are servers back now

[dawn geyser]

Yes seem to be, not at 100% but they're working

[ornate owl]

best way to kill killa for cheap?

[dawn geyser]

VPO Hunter + M62/M61

[open hedge]

Vepr hunt and m62

[dawn geyser]

10 round magazines.

[ornate owl]

and shoot him in the head?

[open hedge]

Yes

[dawn geyser]

[open hedge]

Spam fire that bitches skull

[ornate owl]

mkay thank you

[open hedge]

I would say m61 if you could still buy that but

[mossy mica]

Oh this is exactly what I needed, this is great info. Thank you all!

[open hedge]

We all know what happened

[ornate owl]

i cant buy m61 or m62

[open hedge]

Well m62 is easier to find

[ornate owl]

you think i could do it with m80s

[open hedge]

Another way is if you can kill shturman use his Svd with ps on his head that would also work

Or shturman ak with igolnik (most common ammo he has)

[brisk nacelle]

bro

[open hedge]

Shturman is an easy kill and his gear can work wonders

[brisk nacelle]

ive been queueing for a lighthouse run for 25 minutes

[ornate owl]

im just trying to kill him fora daily

[open hedge]

Bruh

[ornate owl]

you think i could do it with m80s

[open hedge]

Good luck with that

[open hedge]

Leg meta but otherwise probably not

[high glacier]

how am i supposed to go gunsmith part 4 when i cant get the 60 round mag for m4?

do*

[open hedge]

Gp coin barter

[warm vapor]

find one or get friend to drop to u

[high glacier]

but i dont have peacekeeper lvl 3

[sacred tendon]

im doing quests to get pk lvl 3 for iy

[open hedge]

Well good luck with that

[spare moat]

Whats the best copy of the game to buy?

[dire eagle]

I'd say standard to start out with, EOD if you're going to play a lot, love the game and dont mind spending the money

[open hedge]

I’d say start standard if you really like it get prepare to escape but if you still spiral in it then get eod

That’s what I did

[hidden linden]

i just cummed from this scav raid

[spare moat]

Can u just upgrade? Like for example return the game for instore credit and buy the next copy?

[open hedge]

Yeah you can uprgrade for a discount

[dire eagle]

Upgrading is just paying the difference between editions, then your account gets the benefits

[spare moat]

Oh ok

[spare moat]

Alright cool

[bronze lark]

as a scav can u spawn in with no loot

[spare moat]

Thanks guys appreciate the support

Good information

[open hedge]

No if you do report the bug via the launcher

Let’s fucking go boys

[hidden linden]

holy

i just dropped -.5 rep in one raid

[open hedge]

You can change manually via the launcher

[wooden jasper]

sry for asking, i did my account reset yeasterday, and it reseted all except reputations, i downgraded like 3 levels, any solution known?

[sacred tendon]

im teetering on whether to upgrade from standard or not, im loving the game both in solo raids and when joining my buddies, but i fear some of my friends might drop the game, which could lead a chain

whats yall's opinion?

[open hedge]

If you believe that a game breaking bug has broken your account I don’t recommend reporting it here you should always report via the launcher

You can manually select what servers you wish to connect to

It’s recommended to connect to anything with less than 100 ping

[edgy plover]

I'd suggest selecting maybe your top 5 servers, if they get unstable and your ping spikes then servers that are under 100 for you now might become too pingy to play on

[open hedge]

As long as you select your servers then the game will not change them whether it thinks you are there or not

[valid hatch]

what slugs have decent range?

[static nebula]

m80

[open hedge]

It shouldn’t be a problem as far as I know

[open hedge]

Most do

Any time

[sacred tendon]

how many servers should you have selected?

[dire eagle]

If I had a decent suspicion that I would drop the game in 3-6 months, I would personally not pay more money for what is essentially "convenience" upgrades (considering you can get max stash by grinding, and a nearly equal to Gamma via punisher quests).

[hidden linden]

are mp7's good

[open hedge]

Very good but with the disadvantage of having some of the rarest ammo in the game

[sacred tendon]

ahhh you can?

if thats the case ill probably stick with standard then, i was mainly considering because of how small my stash is

[dire eagle]

Punisher Part 6 gives you the Epsilon container, upgrading the stash to lvl 4 is VERY expensive, but doable

[sacred tendon]

its not upgraded atm

also gamma looked very handy to have

[open hedge]

The mp7 has some of the best pen for smgs with good range damage and fire rate however it’s ammo is the most expensive ammo ither than a few rounds like 338 lapua also it’s larger mags are extremely expensive I’d recommend using the p90 instead due to its larger mag capacity and general ammo availability

[worthy stream]

Yes, but EOD does come with the benefits of increased starting trader rep and max stash (imo the best parts of it) and then the gamma obviously. I wouldn't pay for it if you don't think you're going to put at least 500 or 1000 hours into the game, depending on how much that price tag really is to you. Upgrading stash otherwise is a bitch, and the increased starter rep is very helpful when getting max traders, especially when it comes to peacekeeper and skier.

[sacred tendon]

yeah skier and pk have been rough to raise rep with

[bold kernel]

LFG returning player from years ago, have EOD looking to run with someone relearn the ropes.

[sacred tendon]

what is the standing you get for having eod?

[open hedge]

With its .20 boost skier -.25 rep task is massively reduced impact making it very good

[dire eagle]

It is very handy, but look into the Punisher questline on the wiki to see if you're able to do it reasonably quickly, as it gives the Epsilon container which is 4x2, compared to the Gamma which is 3x3 (Different layout and gamma gives 1 extra slot)

[sacred tendon]

im down to play some, i dont know the maps shoreline or lighthouse tho, know a decent bit of the other maps

[worthy stream]

Idk, I think Reeses is right about it being .20, but somewhere around there. Either way it's a great reduction in the amount of quests you have to do to get your traders maxed out.

[bold kernel]

aight, what channel

[hidden linden]

im relatively low level and just found two, so do you think i should just sell them?

[sacred tendon]

will def start looking into punisher

[sacred tendon]

duo 14

[quasi basin]

Is my negative fence rep beyond repair at this point? (-0.69)

[dire eagle]

Its definitely a solid boost to a standard account player

[open hedge]

Since they take low stash space they are easy to keep around but if you don’t think you can hold onto them then yes selling is good because mp7 can either be great or garbage all depending on the ammo

[fast wadi]

3 vehicle extracts and it's fixed

[hidden linden]

ok ty

[quasi basin]

wait actually?

whoa, thanks

[worthy stream]

No, a few vehicle/scav+pmc extracts and you're good. I've seen people with even worse than -5.0 - unfortunately those extracts have diminishing returns and quickly start giving barely any rep relatively, idk how tf people get max rep. When I was 0.0 I gained 0.25 for my first car extract, and a lot less from there. Not sure if it's based on current rep or the amount of times you've done it tho.

[dire eagle]

Nope, that is essentially 69 successful extracts as a scav to get it back to 0. Car extract and PMC+Scav extracts help a lot

[quasi basin]

oh ok, good to know

Thanks for the assistance

[dire eagle]

Each time you do it, it reduces rep gain by 50% (:

[odd acorn]

is there any chance i can get someone to look at my inventory and help be dump some stuff that i dont need

[open hedge]

Sherpas are good at that but I don’t recommend pinging one just for sorting so uh

There is a website for that

I can’t remember the name

[digital sable]

Is DB with Flechettes worth running over magnum buck?

[open hedge]

Db?

[digital sable]

Double-Barrel Shotgun

[open hedge]

Oh uh I’m most shotguns flechette is better because it has pen potential but in the double barrels case it would be a waste to run good ammo in a shit gun

Magnum would be better because flechette does less damage

[glacial crown]

I GOT KILLA

[open hedge]

Lucky lucky most of the time he would catch the round and one tap you

[glacial crown]

i found the 3 pmcs he killed

[cobalt coral]

You sir, are tripping balls if you thing DB is shit

[pastel gorge]

any sherpas that can help a new player with lighthouse quests

[open hedge]

It only has 2 shots so it’s not worth running good ammo

[silk pewter]

yo how do i stop getting one-tapped by all these rats and chads

[plush spruce]

whats a good place to get pmcs pistol kills

[quasi basin]

Are vehicle extracts pmc only?

[open hedge]

Better movement and map knowledge is all you can do

[silk pewter]

aight thanks gamer

[open hedge]

It’s all preferable they get very similar gear in the grand scheme

[open hedge]

Yes

[quasi basin]

oh ok

[open hedge]

Factory or customs

[mossy mica]

Pro / Con of running 60 round mags?

[cobalt coral]

Listen, what you do, is run fletchett in the first barrel, and magnum in the second. The first shot will shred any low tier armor they have, and the second will kill them wherever you hit them

[open hedge]

Guess that works

[cobalt coral]

or just run AP-20s

and bonk someone into next year

[umbral latch]

so whats the difference between "stops light bleeding" (bandage) and "stops light bleeding" - 50hp (car kit)

[edgy plover]

They both stop light bleeding, one consumes the bandage and the other consumes 50 HP of the car med

[cobalt coral]

One of them uses a bandage, the other uses 50hp from your car kit

[coarse raptor]

damn I need to get out of the habit of double tapping r, I keep dropping my mags

[open hedge]

May be a good habit

[umbral latch]

oh, so the afak will use 170hp out of its 400ph to stop heavy bleeding

[open hedge]

Yes

[cobalt coral]

yup

[hollow hull]

hey guys im pretty new, where would be the best place to grab an LFG group or is that not a thing in EFT? im pretty familiar with the way things go ive done probably a dozen raids but yakno...this games got alot of shit so im new

[open hedge]

It’s not worth it imo

[umbral latch]

this game just makes more sense every day

[hollow hull]

sorry to cut into yall mid convo

[open hedge]

#pvp-lfg

[edgy plover]

Try to use bandages and hemostats/tourniquets to stop bleeds

[silk pewter]

what can i do to increase my chances of winning a fight when i am undergeared compared to my enemy? eg. if im a scav and have to fight a pmc

[cobalt coral]

It is if you keep 2 afaks up your ass

[open hedge]

Leg meta or accurate shots to the head

Or out smarting them with movement

[mossy mica]

My only luck as a scav vs pmc is element of surprise lol

[silk pewter]

you can kill people by shooting them in the legs in eft?

[open hedge]

Of course

[silk pewter]

oh

[edgy plover]

Grenades, Legs, headshots, lots of guerilla style gameplay (ambushes, shooting once then repositioning over and over)

[silk pewter]

alright thank you, i didnt know that

[lusty glacier]

Fixed a bug that caused the damage of some ammunition to drop excessively depending on the distance to the target.

heyyyy

[open hedge]

It’s one of the most effective ways to kill armored opponents with shit gear

[silk pewter]

i thought only torso shots and headshots kill

[open hedge]

Anything kills if you do enough damage

Bleed through damage

[silk pewter]

👍

[open hedge]

Any damage will damage everything

After a black out it deals a ton of damage

[edgy plover]

Damage dealt to blacked parts of the body will be distributed equally across all living parts. Once head or thorax hits 0, you die

[silk pewter]

i see, alright

[open hedge]

Technically you can survive a blacked thorax or head but only if the damage is dealt by a heavy or light bleed

Any further damage will kill you

A blacked thorax makes you cough even if you take painkillers so it’s a pretty bad situation

Especially since you get 1 shot

[sterile smelt]

A blacked thorax is the worse of any possible situation assuming you live the gunfight

[open hedge]

Yes

[indigo spade]

what channel did that "patch notes bug fix" message go in, just saw it pop a few mins ago but didnt actually get to read it

[mighty void]

hey i just killed a scav as a scav because he started to shoot at me (he did not hurt me) so i killed him, and now i got a -09 penalty scav karma ? Can someone explain me what the hell i have -0.9 please ty

will a cms or something surgical like that make it possible to heal a blacked limb or bodypart?

[open hedge]

#eft-announcements

[indigo spade]

cool, thx

[open hedge]

If he did not damage you it doesn’t count as self defense

[copper wadi]

do i need those for something?

[open hedge]

Can’t heal thorax or head

[indigo spade]

Oh shit, they fixed 556 ammo?

anyone get paranoid and throw grenades sometimes at exfil spots to get possible ambushers? lol

[open hedge]

It’s against the honor code to kill a disconnected man

[open hedge]

Well the it’s free game

[abstract phoenix]

whats a good gun as i just got flea, i tried mp7a1 and pp19 and they were high recoil

[hidden linden]

mod them out

[open hedge]

Mp7 has some of the lowest recoil in game so you may be on drugs

[abstract phoenix]

i tried, legit thing was going up higher than niagra falls

[open hedge]

Both guns have extremely low recoil as long as you have some optics irons sight bug recoil right not as well as certain dovetail sights

[torn onyx]

LFG to help with some earlier quests. Went away for 2 weeks now im super behind my friend. Level 13. If anyone wants to help out lmk. Trying to get flea today

[silk pewter]

ive watched a few streamers on twitch, and ive noticed that they always run around everywhere, meanwhile i almost always sneak with the lowest speed (unless im in out in the open). which is more beneficial: to have mobility and speed, or a fair enough chance to catch an enemy off-guard?

[open hedge]

Iron sights increase recoil significantly for some reason

[torn onyx]

They tend to have way better armor and can survive getting shot a single time by low - mid tier ammo

[abstract phoenix]

ah, lemme try without it then, i tried it with cobra

[coarse raptor]

Umm I got a 9x39 here with two ammo types, SP-5 GS and PAB-9 GS

if I can only use those, which should I use?

[open hedge]

I don’t recognize the second one

Hmm

Is pssh still immune to malfunctions?

or is it patched

so basically if i have level 4 armour, ears, and a decent helmet ill be fine if i run around more?

[open hedge]

A real ppsh barely jams so it’s still nutty

[coarse raptor]

Damn very nice! Thank you!

Do you happen to have the original xcel link too?

[torn onyx]

should be but if someone has good ammo / lands a few good shots you will still get dropped

[open hedge]

That will help

[open hedge]

I believe so

ppsh op 😳

[open hedge]

Ppsh in real life are very hard to jam

[torn onyx]

If anyone wants to run factory for PMC Pistol kills lmk

[torn onyx]

Soviets made some solid ass guns lol

[bold kernel]

i mean other guns in real life wont jam after magdumping a 30 rounder, its more of a balance thing

[open hedge]

I’m some cases in others not so much

[torn onyx]

Im ps you can stuff dirt inside of an AK and it will still shoot

not that it will shoot straight

[open hedge]

Since the ppsh has no chamber latch nothing gets stuck which is kinda smart

It uses the force of the bullets blast to launch it out

The gun is super simple but very smartly designed

It’s just a full auto hammer on a pipe pretty much

Brilliant

In a cheap kind of way

[umbral latch]

is this just a bug?

[open hedge]

Man this is what I enjoy doing while I’m busy helping people makes me feel important if you need anything jus let me know

wait should i use a1 or a1 variant? when i use a1 without iron sights it got better but still pretty bad, i aint tried a2

[bronze laurel]

lighthouse

[bronze lark]

thanks

[open hedge]

A2 is better but both are great

[abstract phoenix]

man the gun is going everywhere, is there anymore guns that has low recoil or is that it for now

[burnt frigate]

@open hedge yea thats what ive been trying lately

[open hedge]

Interchange or lighthouse for money or factory just for the scavs starter loot as a in and out

[burnt frigate]

@open hedge im going to try and rouge hunt when ever i have a sniper as a scav aswell

[open hedge]

Rogue hunting has good reward or death depending on your strat

You have to be smart

You either kill all of them or none of them

They are too grouped up to just kill 1 or 2

[abstract phoenix]

where can you even get a merlin key? there none on sale

[burnt frigate]

@open hedge the other day we spent 4 hours trying to get my buddy in building one for a quest and then got it done in literally 2 runs at night with night vision lmao

You just gotta find it really

[abstract phoenix]

found it im stupid lmao

[open hedge]

After the ai nerf they are a bit easier now but I’d still be careful

[umbral latch]

it says Dorms V-Ex requires 5000R to extract. but when i got there once it said i did not have enough and required like 6525R...anyone have an idea why?

Bad rep increases price

where are the exits in lighthouse

[open hedge]

Significantly

[umbral latch]

im negitive with fence but still "neutral"

[open hedge]

They are pretty weird I’d recommend looking up a map

[open hedge]

It’s not considered “bad” till -2

The terms are just for show

[bronze lark]

@open hedge ok thanks

[open hedge]

The numbers are all that important

[burnt frigate]

@open hedge yea they are still pretty decent that was my first time going out for them so idk how good they were b4 plus im usec heard they are horrible for bears. and as soon as you get to the edge of building 1 in the night they still agro you

[umbral latch]

it actually said "bad" for me at -.5

[open hedge]

They used to be able to 1 tap from up to 500m

Just found a GPU in a pc while looting, pretty new to tarkov and heard there really rare. What do I do with it?

[glossy dragon]

secure continer

[open hedge]

Keep for farm or sell

[burnt frigate]

@open hedge yea shit i could see that but wouldnt it still be if you ddint have the right ammo ? since damage drop off is a thing now

[open hedge]

300k for sale on flea but with the flea tax you won’t make much

[quasi basin]

oh ok, thanks

[open hedge]

Ai aren’t affected by most things

[quasi basin]

I’ll just save for farm then

[burnt frigate]

12 minute match time so far for a scav run on lighthouse lol

[open hedge]

It’s takes 25 for me before

[burnt frigate]

@open hedge oh okay so damage drop off only works for players?

[open hedge]

I’m not entirely sure but I’m most cases scavs are immune to many things

[burnt frigate]

@open hedge i cant stand when it takes that long and you get unlucky and die in like 5 minutes

[open hedge]

Lighthouse takes forever to get into I’m afraid

Always

[burnt frigate]

not neccisarily

[open hedge]

As a scav it does

[burnt frigate]

lol whops but ive had decent ques at like 2-3 am but other than that yea

[bronze laurel]

lighthouse night raids aren't bad, usually 2-3 mins only

[open hedge]

My phone is gonna die I gotta go gamers @ me with anything important

[cosmic ridge]

Is there a more efficient way of grinding exp than just doing as many tasks as possible? Lvl 11 trying to get to 15 asap

[burnt frigate]

@bronze laurel night raids are they way to go if ur running pmc on lighthouse

[bronze laurel]

same with scav, easy money

[burnt frigate]

@cosmic ridge killing rouges gives you decent xp thats what ima try to do

[whole thistle]

@open hedge j

[bronze laurel]

rogues at lighthouse, dangerous tho

[cosmic ridge]

Ya I’ve never even played lighthouse lol, def gotta learn it soon tho

[whole thistle]

Pvp is good for xp but you can't do that at level 11

Just do tasks

[cosmic ridge]

Word, my survival rate is like 55% rn so I’m feeling pretty good. I’m hardcore ratting tho but it’s paying off lol

[lusty glacier]

do trader prices change at all based on skills?

[celest sage]

Eh I’d just do tasks until level 40+

[cunning shadow]

did they fix 556?

[glass lantern]

Higher Charisma makes them cheaper

[terse hawk]

does anyone know a fix for error code 108003 ive played the game before but uninstalled it but now when i try and reinstall it does this.

[grim burrow]

Do you have all C++ runtimes installed?

[terse hawk]

no clue how do i check?

[grim burrow]

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

Pick the one that fits your system (problably the X64 version), let it install and reboot Windows afterwards. Hope it helps

[terse hawk]

is x64 64bit?

im assuming it is

[grim burrow]

Yeps 🙂

[dusk basin]

is it worth having a CMS in my gamma case for black limbs or should I just grab a grizzly

[barren oasis]

keep cms all times

[dusk basin]

k

is there a replacement

for a grizzly

[toxic wing]

are the servers still not working?

[dusk basin]

like does a afak/ifak do the same as a grizzly just less space and durability?

[sterile saffron]

Anyone trying

[inland marlin]

besides that grizzly heals fractures and the other ones dont. double click and inspect them and read what they do

[sterile saffron]

To run a sup

Duo

Scav run

[dusk basin]

alright thanks

[sterile saffron]

Do some quests maybe

[dusk basin]

gettin tired of the grizzly taking hella space in my case

prob gon switch to a afak and splints

[bold kernel]

does this mean 5.45 and 5.56 is back to normal now?

[narrow gull]

for hideout crafting? no

[bold kernel]

hm, so now if I find a 5.56 rifle I should keep it and use it like a dumb DMR... nice.

[narrow gull]

i don't think hideout crafting is worth it in general

[bold kernel]

.45 ACP AP

[inner oyster]

Does anyone have a dorm room 203 key I could use to do my quest?

[bold kernel]

.-. why

[narrow gull]

20k+/hour whereas i can make 400k in 10-15 minutes on a scav

i just think it's too much effort with the crappy ui to bother

[bold kernel]

scav runs all day and night

[narrow gull]

but don't let me stop you if you actually don't mind that ui

or the tediousness

[bold kernel]

alright. Well time to use my Hawk for something else or just sell it

[coral junco]

M16 best ammo?

[bold kernel]

alrighty

[coral junco]

bet

i use 300 blackout irl lol

Ok

nah im noob at this, i just buy the ammo irl that i can find

lol

i barly know anything about the statistics of the bullets tho

[lusty glacier]

is there a btc farm profit/payback calculator where you can input the prices of things?

[coral junco]

ya

https://tarkov-market.com/btc-farm

[narrow gull]

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

[coral junco]

thanks

[lusty glacier]

oh but it doesnt tell me how long to pay it back, and i cant input gpu price

[warm osprey]

I found a Dorms marked key that I've been trying to barter on the flea, but I'm getting killed by the fees when it doesn't sell. Is there any way to see recent successful barters so I can know what I can actually get for it?

[coral junco]

read

[unique steeple]

That’s not what he’s talking about

U read lol

[narrow gull]

unless you refresh every once in a while and see a barter disappear

[lusty glacier]

actually i wanted to make sure the past hour i spent writing a python script wasnt a total waste

[abstract dome]

so i have standard edition should i upgrade to i was thinking prepare for escape or no?

[narrow gull]

even then it could be the seller taking it down(which barely happens, but still)

[brisk nacelle]

[unique steeple]

Only EOD Is worth it

[coral junco]

[celest sage]

[celest sage]

No point in waiting if you’re going to anyway

[brisk nacelle]
