[restive steeple]

thing is im pretty sure hes the same one that had shot at me when I was peeking out to gate-3 from the second floor of the office area, I ran up into the room next to office window which he opened and then grenaded but it didnt kill me so I guess he thought I left

and then I ran out and screamed voice lines and for some reason he was legit just sitting there on gate-3

just outside of it

[low knot]

Caught him lacking

[restive steeple]

probably crashed or some shit

[glass lantern]

@thick briar

[restive steeple]

thats my first ever pmc extract on there and I feel bad about it lmao, I did a pre-emptive jump into the extract room knowing he was gonna be there maybe trying to camp me but I didnt think it was cause he crashed 😭

I managed to survive glass hallway too, ran straight for the forklift spawn and was somehow able to dome the dude that spawned there before he got to me

[bold kernel]

I have 1.2mil. should I still buy the scav junk box or wait until I have more money?

[hazy aurora]

just buy it think

thats what i did

[bold kernel]

How do I get money after tho

[bronze laurel]

same way you got that 1.2 mil lol

[bold kernel]

Like where's a good place to get money without flea

[hazy aurora]

just do what you normally do to loot

oh

no flea

hmmm

[bronze laurel]

flea isn't some secret gateway to wealth

[hazy aurora]

unlock flea maybe?

[bold kernel]

Should I just wait until flea then?

[bold kernel]

Kinda is

[bronze laurel]

knowing what items are worth to traders is

[bold kernel]

I died all my raids yesterday

:/

[slim depot]

live the life of rat

[bronze laurel]

well then flea wouldnt even help you since your stuff isn't found in raid

surviving is key to making cast

cash

[hazy veldt]

you scav run, sell stuff that doesn't have high flee:vendor difference.

[bold kernel]

I have a fir marked key for reserve

[hazy veldt]

to vendors

[bold kernel]

Ok

I need to do some quests first like shootout picnic

And extortionist

But idk what gear to use

[hazy aurora]

i dont reccomend playing woods for shootout picnic rn

[bold kernel]

It says kill 15 scavs on woods

[hazy aurora]

you should do the other quests

because shootout picnic doesnt lead to anything else

there is like 2 more of the same quest a little later

[bold kernel]

I need keys for the other quests and for therapist I haven't even found any sewas

[hazy aurora]

its not that hard

[bold kernel]

It would be nice if someone had a disposable syringe

[hazy aurora]

that is a little hard to find in raid tho yes

[bold kernel]

I went on customs at crackhouse and stronghold and I haven't found any and I keep in dying because they're hot zones

[waxen scarab]

yeah, why are syringes worth like 40k atm, what are they even for lol

[bold kernel]

Med station

I want that so bad

So that I can craft salewas

[waxen scarab]

oh, i find them in emercom camp alot

[bold kernel]

Where's that?

[waxen scarab]

south east of woods

[bold kernel]

Is that med camp on woods?

[waxen scarab]

yer

[bold kernel]

Ah ok

That place scary aswell

I'm scared if using my gear tho which is so annoying

Especially on woods

[waxen scarab]

If you get a good spawn you can get it all for yourself, it's a great money maker

[bold kernel]

Is compass useful to find med camp?

[waxen scarab]

i mean, it can be yeah, just go south east

[bold kernel]

So basically I turn it to South East and I go that way and I should stumble across the camp?

[waxen scarab]

that's the theory, if you hit a wall you're too far north, if you hit a lake you're too far south

[bold kernel]

Epic

I always get sniped tho

Git sniped 6 times in a row yesterday when trying to do search mission

[waxen scarab]

move normally through trees to save stamina, sprint when you're in the open

[bold kernel]

And what gear should I use? Sorry if I'm asking too many questions

[waxen scarab]

wear ears and avoid bushes, try to stay by visual/physical cover as much as possible

you're fine lol

whatever you feel comfortable using

[bold kernel]

Pm pistol lmao

[waxen scarab]

i mean it's a gun that fires bullets so that works

[smoky moth]

pm has 8 bullets tho

you have to really consider your shots

[waxen scarab]

8 kills 😎

[smoky moth]

damn gigachad aim

[bold kernel]

I need a gun that can drop pmcs

[fast wadi]

long or short range?

[waxen scarab]

sks with a stack of ps ammo in your pocket is a good budget weapon i'd reccomend

[bold kernel]

Ok. With paca or that Lvl 3 armour?

[smoky moth]

as high as possible

paca is class 1 armor

[bold kernel]

But it's more expensive

[fast wadi]

paca to stop random scav onehits

[bronze laurel]

CLASS 2

[waxen scarab]

^ Even if it isn't the meta lvl 4 it'll still stop a buckshot or two

[fast wadi]

or at least to make the chance less

[bold kernel]

Is 50k for an armour a lot?

[bronze laurel]

depends on what armour

but no

[bold kernel]

I thought spending 20k on any armour was a lot lol

[bronze laurel]

decent armors cost 100k+

[waxen scarab]

mmac barter is so good, wish everybody could do it lol

like 60k for it

[bronze laurel]

and that's the low end

unless you barter yea

[bold kernel]

I only have 1.2 mil and if I keep on using the same kit by buying it I'll soon go broke

[waxen scarab]

what level traders?

[bold kernel]

1

[bronze laurel]

run scav runs, free kits for days

[bold kernel]

I'm level 7

[waxen scarab]

got jaeger?

[bold kernel]

Yes

[waxen scarab]

got a workbench?

[bold kernel]

No

[waxen scarab]

From Jaeger

[fast wadi]

Ehh, not worth it tbh

[waxen scarab]

with a pso scope from prapor

[bold kernel]

That's like 60k

[waxen scarab]

yeah? you have over a million my guy

[bold kernel]

I was trying to save up for scav junk box but ok

I'll use that

[waxen scarab]

do you have a bunch of barter stuff cluttering your inventory?

[bold kernel]

Not much cos I know that I don't have space for them so I leave them behind

[waxen scarab]

hmmm

[bold kernel]

Injust take the stuff that is either for my loadiut or for money

[waxen scarab]

I'd go ahead and get the junkbox if i were you then

can take in pistols and scav loadouts while you make money

[bronze laurel]

barter stuff is money...

[autumn glade]

That's nothing

[bold kernel]

And what about quests?

[waxen scarab]

do them

[bold kernel]

I could also sell some chunky weapons and armour the i got form pmcs

[waxen scarab]

3 things you should always have in a raid no matter what are a gun (even a shit PM lol) a headset, and a backpack

[fast wadi]

@dapper nimbus can you yeet this?

[bronze laurel]

if you are not using some gear you got, just sell it to traders. takes too much space in a standard stash

[autumn glade]

Nah

[bold kernel]

Everytime i go in geared i die to headshot. Everytime I go in with pistol I die to a PMC which I could've killed easily if I went in geared

Tarkov

[bronze laurel]

also if you are wondering about expensive gear this was legit a 2 min factory run. just do scavs on cooldown and use the stuff you get. then you don't have to run some shitty pm pistols etc.

[autumn glade]

Confirmation bias

[waxen scarab]

what would you reccomend as minimum gear

[bold kernel]

And with the barter items that I get what do you use them for apart from barters?

[fast wadi]

ratnik, 6b5, any headset,, uley, bagpack and a gun of your choice

[waxen scarab]

hideout / quests

[white wharf]

The grind to get to level 30 D: its sooo long

[bronze laurel]

hideout/quest/sell

[waxen scarab]

just do quests it aint that bad

[bold kernel]

I'm suffering getting to level 15

Only got like 4 hours to play a week

[white wharf]

I'm at level 28 now not long to go just want to upgrade my hideout more

[waxen scarab]

i'm one level from ragman 3 😩

[white wharf]

but cant till level 30

[bold kernel]

I found like 4 fir morphines in crackhouse but then died

That quests would've been done so easily

[autumn glade]

MMAC/6B3TM, any meta flea gun (like rfb or sr25 or m1a with m80 ammo or similar), any good class 4 helmet, decent backpack like berkut, calok, ifak, golden star balm, cms, alu splint

I never go into a raid without this

[white wharf]

you can craft them in med station

[waxen scarab]

great minimum gear for a level 8

[bold kernel]

I need disposable syringe

[autumn glade]

Yeah u need flea for it

[bold kernel]

Level 7 lol

[waxen scarab]

7 sorry lol

[autumn glade]

There is no "minimum gear" before flea lmao

[waxen scarab]

yeah, a gun, headset and backpack

[autumn glade]

Just fucking buy vpo or some shit it doesn't matter ur still gonna suck

[fast wadi]

kek

[waxen scarab]

LUL i drop chads with a ps ammo'd sks daily

[bold kernel]

I am gonna suck when I go broke

[swift escarp]

what should i barter a green keycard for, does it work if i barter for a thicc case and some money?
like how worth is it? 15mil?

[bold kernel]

And I don't have gamma container for all those meds

[autumn glade]

Yeah it's possible

[bronze laurel]

see now, you gotta stop making excuses. gamma doesn't make you better. you just gotta learn the hard way like everyone else

[autumn glade]

I clipped this kid on my first week of having the game when he was like level 40 and I was prolly 5 kekw https://clips.twitch.tv/FriendlyWimpyLEDLeeroyJenkins-rVAFesnclyNI8PoM

U can still kill people with like vpo or sks

[bold kernel]

Might just use Sks with nothing else

[autumn glade]

But game gets way easier after flea which isn't even hard to unlock

[waxen scarab]

esmarch + bandage in pockets, car kit/painkiller/extra ammo in alpha case

[autumn glade]

Neither do I wtf

[bronze laurel]

LOL nice streamsnipe lmao

[autumn glade]

Kid has like 5 viewers max and an ego

Yeah everyone is streamsniping him, no legit players nowadays

[waxen scarab]

lol i thought that was your POV for a second and was like that's a nice fuckin gun for a lvl 5

[autumn glade]

@bold kernel i keep golden star and alu splint in alpha all other heals in pockets

[autumn glade]

Nah I killed him haha

[tranquil wedge]

can i not wear trooper armor for a rr extract

and can I wear armored rigs instead

[waxen scarab]

don't have the vid but i was walking through shoreline's woods and popped this guy once between the eyes with a ps sks. So mad he added/sent hate mail (ignore my wife yelling at me) https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/Zic-rABS6ZsLkUZvhiLf0OhpVus-ahYigi97MjBJNGQ/%3Fwidth%3D779%26height%3D676/https/media.discordapp.net/attachments/214498856094793728/930850644460445727/unknown.png

all mags full of ss190 lol

[woeful spruce]

the perfect post, wife yelling, guy sending hate mail, and the chad who just posts it on discord

[waxen scarab]

[wispy obsidian]

How much is a docs case

[autumn glade]

Cheap

[waxen scarab]

300k on flea, like 230 or so with barter

[autumn glade]

Like 200k for barter ye

[wispy obsidian]

With who?

[waxen scarab]

thera

[wispy obsidian]

Dude I like blacked out trying to figure out who that was I’m so tired

But uhhh what level?

Looking to get one so I can free up some space from my shit lying around

[waxen scarab]

#beginners-chat message

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/658063537893146648/930854734712160276/unknown.png part of the dialogue, he was very unhappy with me

and turns out the defender is lvl 5, thought it was 6 all this time

[wispy obsidian]

Sounds like a tarkov experience

[waxen scarab]

therapist lvl 1 trades for it i thought

i lied, lvl 2

[mellow matrix]

yeah you would have, i mean its an sks with ps ammo xD

[wispy obsidian]

Dam

[waxen scarab]

god tier weapon, was just out hunting scavs lol

[wispy obsidian]

Could I buy one off ya?

[waxen scarab]

lol just get her to lvl 2, doesn't take long at all

[hazy veldt]

mmm

I can give you one if you want.

[wispy obsidian]

I wish my luck so bad I can’t complete her quests

[mellow matrix]

why do you need her to lv2

[waxen scarab]

to trade for docs case

[wispy obsidian]

What in return?

[waxen scarab]

dorms marked key

[hazy veldt]

a wallet with 300k?

[wanton crystal]

How would I go about killing any of the scav bosses as a first wipe player? (Lvl 27). I really want to kill Killa to get revenge on him or shturman for the locked box and his gun but scavs and bosses are so cracked I've been avoiding them as much as I can

Or should I not focus on them at all and just let them be?

[waxen scarab]

range and cover are your friends

[wispy obsidian]

Haven’t found a wallet ever but can 240k work?

[smoky moth]

sheesh

[waxen scarab]

ignoring the keycard, nice drip 👌

[vivid hemlock]

🥶

[proud hornet]

I try to put a tactical device on a SA-58 CASV-FAL handguard. My scope which also sits there is blocked by the tactical device. with flashlights and mounts I can change the position of the flashlight but not the tactical device. It sits on top. Is it possible to put it on the side or bottom? Are there mounts I'm missing? I can't put the scope on the dust cover because there already is one. I'm trying to use 2 scopes. The tactical device I tried it with is Zenit Perst-3

[waxen scarab]

#weapon-modding those nerds would be better for this quesiton

[proud hornet]

Right. I overlooked it ty

[waxen scarab]

all good mate

[restive steeple]

woo, found my first gpu while running interchange as pmc

[waxen scarab]

good stuff, shoved up your ass?

[frail anvil]

Noice

[frail anvil]

Ye ofc you shove it up your ass

[restive steeple]

was able to extract with 7 minutes left, had to take an extra stop in the supermarket to find fresh beverages since I almost killed myself popping pills

[waxen scarab]

part of the reason i only use propitol as a painkiller is it doesn't fuck your water/energy lol

i've been killed by dehydration before 😭

[frail anvil]

Same

Ill go customs loot safes and shove horses in my ass

[restive steeple]

got out with this, I ran into one pmc but he was just looking for scavs for the extract and we didn't fight each other

[waxen scarab]

good haul mate

[remote kettle]

bro gets mad because not everyone goes face to face and magdumps until one person drops xD

[waxen scarab]

Like i heard you coming to me so i placed myself advantageously, fuck me i guess

2 inches of grass is apparently a bush

[frail anvil]

Cuz he couldnt see you

Kek

[remote kettle]

@wanton crystal unless youre going after shturman. he will fuck you at range if he spots you first

[severe girder]

is the shooting range a pre-requisite for something or would it be a waste of resources at the beginning?

[waxen scarab]

no pre-requisite but nice to have

[remote kettle]

its not a gateway to anything

its very useful though

[waxen scarab]

was by the old temporary gate extract on shoreline

[frail anvil]

Endless amount of bullets

[remote kettle]

what? i was talking about bosses?

did you ping wrong person

[waxen scarab]

i'm an idiot and thought you were talking about camping, didn't see you ping somebody

[severe girder]

thanks

[jade bay]

just spend 300k on the thermal bag

best investment i ever did in my life

[smoky moth]

after scav raid

[frail anvil]

What ammo in adar?

[remote kettle]

855 i assume

[smoky moth]

m855

[unborn oak]

anyone have tips for me for killing pmcs with pistols quest? trying it on factory but just dying to full geared ppl with faceshields

[frail anvil]

Noice haul

[jade bay]

try factory over and over again

at least thats how i did it

[remote kettle]

get a sr1mp with ps

[jade bay]

needed like 20 runs cause i have potato aim

[remote kettle]

goes straight through most faceshields

[unborn oak]

ok ty boys

[jade bay]

also! try to learn the pmc spawns so u can anticipate them

[remote kettle]

i did it early and got all 3 in one raid lol. got lucky and got a factory raid filled with other naked pistolings

[unborn oak]

is it worth taking armor in or just pistol?

[jade bay]

just pistol

[frail anvil]

If you have ap 6.3 unlocked shoot in head with that

[remote kettle]

id grab a paca to stop shotguns but up to you

[smoky moth]

is m855 bad? i checked the ammo tier list and it doesnt seem too bad for me

[remote kettle]

you cant buy ap 6.3

[mellow matrix]

i mean, it has 28 pen

thats not good

[remote kettle]

compared to better 5.56 rounds yes its bad. but its not very bad

[mellow matrix]

40-ish pen is good

[smoky moth]

ahhh

[frail anvil]

I know you cant but if he has them by chance he could use it

[remote kettle]

i wouldnt go fighting players with 855 this stage of wipe

[mellow matrix]

but its not horrible you know

just not good

[remote kettle]

if you wanna spend some extra money you can do what i do after stirrup every now and then

[smoky moth]

shit man m4a1 is probably my favorite gun this wipe

[remote kettle]

rock a glock18 with drums filled with RIP

[smoky moth]

i can craft the ammo but its 5 hours per 200 ammo

[mellow matrix]

level peacekeeper

to get 856a1 and later 55a1

[remote kettle]

if you wanna spend some extra money you can go leg meta people with glock18c with 50 rounds mags with RIP

[smoky moth]

im fucking blind

[mellow matrix]

xD

[jade bay]

wait why dont i have it

or am i blind too

[remote kettle]

cult pt1

[jade bay]

oh ok

[remote kettle]

i havent finished that quest either

[jade bay]

ty

i dont even have that quest

first wipe where i really do quests

[remote kettle]

yeah im doing humanitarian now to get it

[smoky moth]

you have to finish the 6000 dollars quest with skier for peacekeeper quests

[waxen scarab]

so i found a sks drum mag full of AP-M in a green box yesterday. is the VPO 209 any good for that tarkov shooter under 25m kills?

[frail anvil]

Lol Im over here trying to get items to barter for docs case

[remote kettle]

who tf filled an sks drum with ap-m

[waxen scarab]

it was just sitting in a box on customs

[remote kettle]

i bought my items for that barter lol

[waxen scarab]

i was wondering why it was so damn heavy so i unloaded it and it was fuckin apm

[jade bay]

[frail anvil]

Im half way through 13 rn

[jade bay]

wtf man

[remote kettle]

15 tools, 10 syringes 8 h2o2

[frail anvil]

2.4 mill and Im using garbo cuz thats all I can get

[waxen scarab]

i just bought injector on flea for 500k near beginning of wipe. Super fuckin op

[jade bay]

well i only have 1.05 mil

[remote kettle]

6.5 here

[jade bay]

so im not willing to pay a lot

[remote kettle]

25 mil stash

[jade bay]

maybe 1 mil stash for me

if i sell everything off flee

[remote kettle]

stash value includes raw cash

[frail anvil]

Looks like everyone is doing loothouse thing

[remote kettle]

so check overall tab

[jade bay]

where to check

[waxen scarab]

been ignoring lighthouse this entire wipe till a mate took me through the chateau where he found 5 FUCKING BITCOIN

[frail anvil]

Overall tab

[jade bay]

oh

thats the overall tab

[deft dew]

idc about my stash value but where can I buy emptier lobbies so I can do my quests in peace

[frail anvil]

I doubt Id get enough fps to even move there

[mellow matrix]

i still ignore it even through i have merin key

just not fun

hate the layout, snipers everywhere

[jade bay]

@remote kettle

is it that?

[mellow matrix]

(unless im the one sniping then its fun :p)

[remote kettle]

overall tab, and it says something like total stash value in the left column

[waxen scarab]

I've gone to lighthouse about... 3 times this wipe? Haven't extracted once lol

[remote kettle]

yes

[jade bay]

wtf

im rich apparently

[mellow matrix]

and the 20 fps dont help

[remote kettle]

6.5 mil is good

[smoky moth]

jesus christ

[remote kettle]

i wouldnt say rich but its not bad

[jade bay]

[waxen scarab]

i get solid 60 there same as every other map oddly enough

[ember schooner]

Thats partially to do with learning the map

[jade bay]

well im peaking my raw cash w 1 mil rn

so 6.5 mil is rich for me

[unborn oak]

@remote kettle i dont have flea atm so i dont think i can get that stuff right?

[remote kettle]

i have 6.5 mil cash and 25 mil stash. plus like 15k $

[waxen scarab]

yeah i've been scavving it now and then to learn the layout

[remote kettle]

correct 9x19 rip is flea only. also kinda expensive

[jade bay]

i have 1k usd

enough for my bby mpx tho

[waxen scarab]

I've lost ALOT of money recently doing punisher but getting back pu there lol https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/934370753560850433/934742822047870976/unknown.png

[remote kettle]

i bought a bunch to get money spent with pk

[waxen scarab]

wish svd's weren't so damn much

[smoky moth]

i dont get why this ammo is expensive

damage without armor?

[steep flame]

i think im on about 33 mil with $40k and stash value around 80 mil i think

[waxen scarab]

5 bullets in the knee will kill

[brittle canyon]

5

[smoky moth]

wtf

that is op

i changed my mind

[steep flame]

will it? there you go

[waxen scarab]

unless they're standing behind something lol

[jade bay]

gib

[white wharf]

Fucking punisher part 3 is aids

[brittle canyon]

5 shots to same leg kill is actually kinda bad

[oblique ruin]

Whats punisher 3’s task

[brittle canyon]

but “good” 9mm guns fire fast enough to make up for it

[white wharf]

I hate the aks-74U

[steep flame]

rip on the .45 vector is fun

[mellow matrix]

yes me too

[steep flame]

.45 rip better tho

[white wharf]

Get 25 kills with the AKS-74U the gun just sucks

[waxen scarab]

Don't worry, you'll LOVE part 5 🙄

[brittle canyon]

no one asked tho

[oblique ruin]

Pmc or scav

[white wharf]

Whats part 5

[steep flame]

no one asked about your 9mm on fast guns

[rustic bough]

casually warcrimes

[dire rock]

4/5/6 are all PMC kills with specific gear

[mellow matrix]

my death.

[mellow matrix]

fuck that where are the 2 makarovs

[brittle canyon]

@steep flame

[waxen scarab]

[white wharf]

😭

[smoky moth]

m4a1 is the hardest to find

[steep flame]

didnt ask about the guns

[waxen scarab]

Found 2 more today

[waxen scarab]

m4a1 is literally given to you as a FIR reward from punisher 4

[dire rock]

you get 2 from quests

[steep flame]

you literally got one as a reward from part 4

[mellow matrix]

no

[frail anvil]

Im scared to do operation aqua

[mellow matrix]

you literally get one for the quest before

and had it over

[smoky moth]

nice

[mellow matrix]

the fuckin makarovsd tho

[waxen scarab]

[mellow matrix]

still none

[remote kettle]

glock 18 firerate = 1200rpm. 5 bullets to the legs (which cant be armored) is a kill

[smoky moth]

but my dumb brain would probably sell all the guns i find LOL

[dire rock]

scavs have them all the time

[mellow matrix]

NO

THEY DONT

[brittle canyon]

tell me, what do bullets come out of

[mellow matrix]

ONE scav had it for me

[brittle canyon]

dumb fuck so desperate to one-up lmao

[remote kettle]

[smoky moth]

[dire rock]

i think im at the point where im done with quest grinding

[smoky moth]

[waxen scarab]

i've got all the rep and money spent i need to max out the traders, i just need to actually level up now

[dire rock]

motherfucker stole my mp9 suppressor

[brittle canyon]

if this isn’t your first wipe you should be done with it tbh

[remote kettle]

i have money spent with everyone except skier because he sucks early

i have like 10mil spent with therapist

[waxen scarab]

oh yeah i still need to give skier like 50k but eh

[smoky moth]

me starting to play tarkov : surely i'll get kappa until the end of the wipe, right?
me mid wipe : damn these quests are getting harder, but i can still try
me right now : TrollDespair

[remote kettle]

what level are you?

[waxen scarab]

just wait till tarkov shooter

[brittle canyon]

kappa kekw

[smoky moth]

lvl 33

[remote kettle]

good luck getting lvl 62

[smoky moth]

hell nah

[remote kettle]

if you want kappa thats what you gotta do

[dire rock]

kappa is never worth it for me, i play for the fights a bigger container doesnt sound all that interesting

[smoky moth]

bsg probably push their bug fixes and patch notes faster than me

[smoky moth]

epsilon quest is easy right

[remote kettle]

meh

time consuming

[waxen scarab]

that's punisher right

[remote kettle]

but not that bad

[smoky moth]

yep

[waxen scarab]

punisher isn't THAT bad, just annoying

[smoky moth]

im still at punisher part 2 LMAO

[remote kettle]

from punisher 4 it gets a bit tricky cause then you need pmc kills

[smoky moth]

i ignored every kill quest until i run out of search / locate quests

[remote kettle]

punisher 4 is 10 kills on shoreline with a scav vest and balaclava

[waxen scarab]

got a thermal svd i take to woods now and then when i feel like sniping to do punisher 6

[silk pewter]

i foun a NPP KIASS Korund-VM class 4 armor, should i sell it or keep it?

class 5*

[smoky moth]

no wonder scav vest is so expensive in flea

i regret selling them to ragman

[waxen scarab]

it's very decent armor, i'd use it

[smoky moth]

thought they were worthless

[remote kettle]

punisher 5 its 10 pmc kills with paca and ratnik, plus hand over fir m4, ak74n, and 2 pms

[remote kettle]

they also craft into decent fabric

[silk pewter]

aight thank you

[waxen scarab]

i accidentally made 3 of my vests into ripstop, but at least i was able to trade for mmac's with em

[remote kettle]

then punisher 6 is 15 pmc kills with an SVD on any map except factory

[remote kettle]

cant sell class 5 or 6 on flea

[smoky moth]

sniper related quests = i miss 100% of the shots

[dire rock]

ight im not gonna be looking at discord but if anyone needs some help feel free to DM me

[remote kettle]

too bad thats what you gotta do for epsilon

[smoky moth]

well beta aint too bad

i can fit in cms and survkit as well as docs case

then an extra slot for anything

[oblique ruin]

Im still stuck at delivery from the past

[smoky moth]

wtf

[oblique ruin]

Its been a week and a half by now

[smoky moth]

well i understand you

[oblique ruin]

Factory is a scary place

[smoky moth]

true

i cant survive for once on that map

[oblique ruin]

Fr

[smoky moth]

fuck jaeger's factory quest

[ornate steppe]

just take the fights u cant avoid them

[waxen scarab]

good thing the svd is semi auto, took me like 6 shots to get this guy https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/658063537893146648/934346288223387668/unknown.png

[smoky moth]

nice shot

[oblique ruin]

How tf am i supposed to kill a rigged out player with only a shotgun

[native viper]

guys does reshala auto target you even if you are not even close to him ????

[ornate steppe]

leg meta and wearing good armor

[bronze laurel]

Either face tap or magnum buck to legs

[waxen scarab]

not really, he didn't have NVG's or a flashlight on 2am woods and i'm sitting there with a FLIR

[native viper]

i just spawned as a scav behind old gas station and reshala gunned me down on spawn?

[oblique ruin]

Depends if u have good scav rep then no and if u have negative scav rep then yes

[smoky moth]

wait, does killing your friend count as quest progression?

[native viper]

i have like -0.8

[bronze laurel]

no

[native viper]

but its not that bad

[smoky moth]

imagine if that worked tho

[waxen scarab]

dogtag counts, but not kill

[oblique ruin]

Kinda hard when the ppl are running autoguns so when i get shot my character flinches

[smoky moth]

1 day in and people get kappa

[oblique ruin]

For me it worked lol

[sand wyvern]

Pre med

[bronze laurel]

what quest?

[ornate steppe]

painkill and u flinch less I think u just gotta keep trying and you will get it eventually thats how it was for me when I was doing the tremor kills

[bronze laurel]

also were you in group?

[smoky moth]

could be the armor durability stuff

[oblique ruin]

Yes

[smoky moth]

i have no friends

[sand wyvern]

And ap-20 or flechettebspam

[ornate steppe]

go to LFG you probably could find someone else trying to do the same quest

[oblique ruin]

Alr then

[smoky moth]

they'd probably roast me for no mic

[sand wyvern]

Saiga 12 with flechette slaps, 10 rounder mag or even a 20 rounder

[ornate steppe]

ik this is obv but buy a mic

[waxen scarab]

powermagged saiga full of magnum buck on factory is hilarious, no toes are safe from me

[bronze laurel]

you can't play this game in groups without mic

[dire rock]

@mellow matrix XD

[bronze laurel]

it will get you killed

[smoky moth]

yep

[waxen scarab]

I think of him everytime i find one

[smoky moth]

labs is probably the most scariest map of all time

3 rows of labs card and i still dont want to do a raid on it

[waxen scarab]

only scary thing about it is the amount of cheaters

[foggy stratus]

Wait till u get 1 tapped by rogues from 400 meters

[smoky moth]

yep thats what im scared of

this legit scarier than fnaf jumpscares

[waxen scarab]

how the fuck, i've only seen one this wipe

[smoky moth]

3.5 fence rep

[ornate steppe]

bro just go pistoling

[foggy stratus]

Scary yes? Worth the reward tho? Hell yes. Learn the map my son

[waxen scarab]

-.3 rep 😏

[smoky moth]

i'd do a hero to zero tbh

[sand wyvern]

Got a full keycard holder and i am hoverinf around 0.3

[waxen scarab]

santa's a bitch

[foggy stratus]

@smoky moth just do offline raids on labs till ur comfortable fighting raiders

[sand wyvern]

Idk about scav karma, it feels borked

[smoky moth]

add more negative rep to those killing other scavs for airdrop loot

🙏

[foggy stratus]

Anywhere in a 100 meter diameter of the drop should be a double rep loss area

[smoky moth]

no fuckin way

[waxen scarab]

I kill scavs by airdrops

[smoky moth]

labs card on my scav again

twice in a row

[foggy stratus]

Just use the damn things

[waxen scarab]

bro i'm still trying to get my 2nd one for jaeger

[foggy stratus]

U didn’t save them early on or what. They aren’t that hard to find found in raid long as ur mindful

[dire rock]

ehhhhh, i feel like the airdrops honestly arent even worth losing the rep for now, id rather not have more competition for the loot

[waxen scarab]

i mean i have literally, this entire wipe. Have seen only one labs card

and gave it to jaeger

[foggy stratus]

U misinterpreted it, anyone who kills a scav as a scav loses more rep in that area. It’s less competition for you in that spot

[supple steppe]

Hey can someone group up with me im eu and need to kill reshala for a quest

[dire rock]

i understand, but rather than fighting a traitor scav i would have to try and compete with him for the loot in the drop

[steep flame]

#pvp-lfg

[reef coral]

This is my first wipe where i got the bitcoin miner. If i use found in raid gpu, does it stay as found in raid if i take it back?

[steep flame]

ye

[dire rock]

yes

[reef coral]

Ok thank you

[dire rock]

also i would recommend putting as many GPUs as you can afford into that

the sooner you get it producing the more youll make

[waxen scarab]

i think you'll need 26 GPU's to offset the cost of gas but you should be crafting all the time anyways

[steep flame]

its way less than that

you just need around 10

[waxen scarab]

how long does jaegers 100 gas can last?

[smoky moth]

21 hours

[waxen scarab]

ah ok, 9 to break even then, thought it was way less lol

[smoky moth]

4.5 million to get a working bitcoin miner

[waxen scarab]

you've gotta invest ALOT into it to make it profitable

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/images/9/9c/BTC_time_to_graphics_card_chart.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20210714080014

[ornate steppe]

i have 10 gpus in my miner

I just use the barter and find propane FIR and buy the fuel conditioners

i spend like 70k per bitcoin

so i make like ~140k profit which isnt bad for doing no work

and im also making moonshine and stuff

[waxen scarab]

that's not bad at all, big brain

[ornate steppe]

so u dont need 4.5 mil to make it profitable

[waxen scarab]

i'm pumping moonshine out of my generator and into my case constantly

[smoky moth]

while im struggling to level up jaeger

jaeger is too hard to level up

im only LL2 Jaeger while the other traders are already LL3

[reef coral]

So i shouldn't run my farm with only 4 gpus

[ornate steppe]

no you should literally one scav raid factory and your fuel is payed for

plus you can do other crafts that make u profit

there are so many ways to make money in the hideout u shouldnt even worry about fuel cost

[smoky moth]

true

[ornate steppe]

and if you use blue fuels u can turn those into mag cases and the fuel was pretty much free

or u make profit if u find those FIR

[severe girder]

worth it to fork out 400k to build intelligence center?

[ornate steppe]

ye so u can get bitcoin miner

[severe girder]

or just scav until i find the intelligence folder?

[ornate steppe]

do the jaeger quest for kills in dorms gives u flash drives and intel folders

[proven wave]

did i do good?

[reef coral]

Customs' crackhouse ez intel

Once found 3 in one raid from crackhouse

[severe girder]

cool thanks thios is usefuyl

[smoky moth]

i never touched crackhouse as PMC before

first time i went in and i got shot immediately from the stairs

[bold kernel]

I don't think I'll ever get bitcoin farm

[waxen scarab]

lol i usually don't have many issues there

[oblique ruin]

Havent touched crackhouse for a week now cuz i was looting and then somehow someone got behind me and shot me with no footsteps heard

[waxen scarab]

it's the area between crack and fortress that gets me

[oblique ruin]

Ur early on the game u’ll get it eventually

[bold kernel]

EFT sound is sometimes so dogey. So many times pmcs have no footsteps

[oblique ruin]

Bitcoin farm is quite easy to get since the parts are cheap

[oblique ruin]

Bro was even running and no footsteps heard

[quick granite]

does anyone have the marked room key for dorms i need it for a quest but i cant afford it ill pay 10k for 1 use

[bold kernel]

This guy literally ran up behind me with m61 gun and I didn't hear anything

[oblique ruin]

Lol

[bold kernel]

Hunt Showdown sound is so much better

[mental onyx]

what are the benefits of having a daily task streak?

i am sitting on 18 and the tasks get way harder i feel.
do i get more xp for those tasks also?

[oblique ruin]

Yeah it is

[quick granite]

u have a chance of getter higher xp and better rewards ive been told

[oblique ruin]

But hunt showdown is a finished game

Eft isnt

[mental onyx]

i am getting shit like "surv on labs" "exit scav camp on interchange 2 times" "kill 5 pmcs with shots in the right or left leg"

those i just dont accept to not end my streak

[bold kernel]

I can't wait for EFT to reach full release

[quick granite]

yh understandeble myself i dont care i try to do the ones i can

[oblique ruin]

Fr it is getting close tho since DLSS is also coming soon

But eft has tons of bugs that it has to patch first

Its been in beta for like 5-6yrs now

[bold kernel]

Dont take this the wrong way but I hope it will have some more additions that would make it more friendly to people with less time to play

[smoky moth]

same, but that would probably be light years away

[bold kernel]

I don't have much time to play and so my EFT progression is very slow whereas others reach level 40 in a week

[frail anvil]

Full release is light years away

Take a look at lighthouse

Tells you everything

[oblique ruin]

Whats up in lighthouse have played that map like once lol

[frail anvil]

Rogues

[smoky moth]

bad optimizations, fps stutters, really unbalanced

[frail anvil]

And stability issues

[oblique ruin]

Thats just tarkov in general ngl

[frail anvil]

And they still have like 3 more maps to release

[oblique ruin]

3? Wasnt it more

Like 4

[frail anvil]

Idk

3 to 4

Streets of tarkov is one

[smoky moth]

considering the size of it, they should delay it even further and focus on optimizations first

[hallow island]

Yeah well have fun waiting 5 years for full game release

[bold kernel]

Is lighthouse even good

[oblique ruin]

Streets of tarkov should be next to release

[robust robin]

Streets will be done in sections too because they want it so big

[oblique ruin]

Its been teased with gameplay by bstate multiple times

[smoky moth]

you got a location free for all, that has rare loot to be found, as well as rogues that have high tier weapons and stuff

[hallow island]

Im gonna enjoy waiting 8 years for eft arena just to be dissapointed that it runs on 12.12 or later tarkov

12.9 arena dream

[oblique ruin]

Aint all maps FFA

[frail anvil]

We will see generally looking eft isnt as optimized as youd think but even with that it does have far smoother gameplay than any other game out there rn

[robust robin]

Raider farming but 100% more reliable and a ton of pscavs

[bold kernel]

Main reason i don't want to play lighthouse is because of the rouges

[smoky moth]

all maps are pretty casual with decent loot, but lighthouse is an exception tbh

[smoky moth]

that location is pretty popular

the villa

[robust robin]

Theyre super easy with alt lean cheese

[bold kernel]

What's EFT arena?

And Russia 2028?

[frail anvil]

Id like custom servers

Or something where you could connect to a offline server with more than 5 people and we can just goof

Hide and seek leggo

[hallow island]

Actually skilled eft where its 1v1 2v2 etc

[supple steppe]

Got these two from an airdrop, are they worth it or should i sell them

[hallow island]

Mk16 is, hk really isnt unless u wanna copium and make it meta

[supple steppe]

alright gotcha ill sell the hk thanks

[restive steeple]

idk how the hell I was able to open the fuel tank truck near fortress without getting gunned down but im not complaining

thats one quest down in one try I guess

[fast wadi]

you got out or you still in raid?

[restive steeple]

I domed two scavs at old gas station and extracted there

so I got it done

[quick granite]

does any body have the marker key for dorms

[steep flame]

just run the map, youll eventually find it open

[golden charm]

should one sell the starting PS one gets? Ive been holding onto it debating to pawn it off to mechanic

[oblique ruin]

Its quite useful

If u dont have flea unlocked

[violet furnace]

But what ps, the AK one or mosin one? BC mosin one is good and AK one is not that good

[oblique ruin]

I mean even for the AK its decent if u dont have flea unlocked

Or higher level of mechanic/jaeger

Dont know if jaeger sells any ak bullets

Most likely does

[violet furnace]

U can buy it no limit i think

[tribal garnet]

anyone know how to stop game freezes? ive died because of them 3 times now....

[tribal garnet]

PS gs is garbage so yes sell it

[robust robin]

5.45 yes delete but 7.62 x 54r and 7.62 x 39 is good

[golden charm]

545 Sorry was in raid

[violet furnace]

Ok, so 5.45 ps is trash

7.62 not bad

[golden charm]

ik about the 762 and 54r ones

[violet furnace]

On 5.45 try BP, not that expensive

[golden charm]

ik they are ok

[golden charm]

im level 2 rn

so uh kinda hard to come across

[violet furnace]

Or try RFB, u can buy it from peacekeeper, cheap and good ammo

Just add some scope, maybe foregrip and that's all

[violet furnace]

Not that hard, try scaving reserve and woods

[golden charm]

rfb?

[violet furnace]

Yea, 7.62x 54 semi automatic bulpup

Very good gun, cheap and good ammo

[bold kernel]

anyone wanna do pharmacist task with me?

[violet furnace]

From peacekeepr or skier, I don't remember

[bold kernel]

RFB skier lvl 2

[violet furnace]

Damm

Then go 7.62 AK with PS, good gun

[golden charm]

i mean eh i already am collecting alot of 762 ps and have been scrapping together some akm for running

[golden charm]

wayyy ahead of ya lol

i just wanted to know about 545 as i wiped recently due to a 4 month hiatus

[golden charm]

not to come across as a dick i preciate the help

[vivid hemlock]

If you want to find some good bp bullets rip shells and other go to the wooden shack in woods, behind the green crate at the left barbed wire usually spawn 2 boxes (120 rounds) of bp

I am talking about the one next to outskirts and scav house

Good if you don't have flee yet or for start of the wipe

[golden charm]

i havent touched woods once, infact i barely know customs as is, the only maps ik well are factory and interchange

lel

[vivid hemlock]

The fact that you know inter and not customs is great

I never touched inter so ya know

[golden charm]

oh just today alone i make well over 300k rb

like its funny cuz all i do is essentially scav there and find all this shit no one yoinks

and go "grocery shopping" as i like to call it

[vivid hemlock]

Yeah usually all money guides are on inter

Good money guides I mean

I don't like it because of too many rats but you probably don't have that problem if you are running the back side

[golden charm]

oh i just like, found out most the shit on my own

like the amount of food and weapons parts i snag for being level 2 rn is attrocious

[vivid hemlock]

Yeah

[bleak gyro]

What vertical recoil do i need to control 5.45x39 BT ammo better? At 62 vertical recoil it's almost impossible to control the BT recoil using an AK-74N

[acoustic slate]

Just my two cents, worry about learning the maps, and being as quiet as you can.. You need to rat when you begin..

[woeful spruce]

i usually do just fine controling it up to medium range with around 65-70 recoil, i think its just a matter of practice or if you dont think thats for you you can play the ak 101 which you can quite chaply get to the low 50 range or just play smgs as they dont have much recoil to controll

[acoustic slate]

I have 4400 hours in this came.. I agree with Tomas..

....game..

It still kicks your butt once in a while..

jp.. Are you on American servers?

[bleak gyro]

I can hit fairly accurately with the first and second dummy of the hideout but the third dummy almost impossible to accurately hit it

just wanna ask how roughly how many meters is the third dummy in the range?

[woeful spruce]

around 20 i think

lemme check

yup 20

[bold kernel]

Is compass any good?

[vivid hemlock]

Just use ump

[lavish tinsel]

if you dont know calls, ye

[vivid hemlock]

If you are lost

[bold kernel]

What about to find locations

Like usec camp on woods

[bleak gyro]

Niceee thank you 😄

[lavish tinsel]

Could be useful that way too.

[vivid hemlock]

It's rly easy to find anything in wooda

[lavish tinsel]

If you see landmarks on woods you should know the way to get there if you've played the map a bunch

[bold kernel]

When I spawn in i look in compass and go SE direction. Should I stumble across med camp?

[vivid hemlock]

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/woods&ved=2ahUKEwihtJTsr8r1AhXNT8AKHZ7qD94QFnoECAsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1BaFRj5SI76ah7N3gQWJoq

[lavish tinsel]

Depending on your spawn

[bold kernel]

Ok

[waxen scarab]

Look at giant rock in middle of map

NW of rock is USEC Camp and convoy
SW of rock is scav house
S of rock is sawmill
SE of rock is Emercom camp
E of rock is that radio shack town whatever lol
NE of rock is car extract town
N of rock is sunken town

Ta-da you know woods

[lavish tinsel]

You got that on copy paste? 😄

[waxen scarab]

It's turning into a copy pasta lol

[waxen scarab]

i just look up the last time i pasted it and copy it

[lavish tinsel]

Ye, i remember reading it

[waxen scarab]

everybody gets lost in woods when they start

[vivid hemlock]

I just look at the side of the rock and from the shape I know where I am

[waxen scarab]

it's gotten so bad i can recognize a fucking patch of grass and be like "I'm behind scav house"

[frail anvil]

Lol

[kind star]

Just got back into the game, was just wondering what loadouts armour wise I should bring? (In terms of cheap runs) I haven't played in a long while - also how bad is the cheating problem?

[frail anvil]

"ooo lakes? aha stash by convoy"

[winter shoal]

I like it for woods if you want to call out positions and the best callout you have is 'next to a tree', or finding the trajectory of an airdrop but I guess it depends

[waxen scarab]

i haven't really had much issues with cheaters. At least nothing blatant.
smg's are always good

[balmy gyro]

i need help getting jaegers msg NAE

[kind star]

i used to only go in with a makarov cos I was stingy af

[waxen scarab]

glock 17 with a big stick is a ghetto smg i'll use sometimes

[frail anvil]

I just look around me and be like "mines here okay this direction, oooo lakes, aha stash by convoy we go"

[kind star]

Wb armour wise tho - is it still that green cheap ass helmet with an armoured rig

[waxen scarab]

I see a rock shaped somewhat like two peaks and know EXACTLY where i am on the map. it's gotten really bad

[waxen scarab]

what lvl ragman?

[kind star]

I literally just started the game again lol so level 0

[waxen scarab]

ooooh

ssh helmet, prapors crap headphones, the lvl 3 armored rig i guess is your best bet at this lvl

[kind star]

I've finallt gotten over gear fear (by playing hunt showdown ironically) and so I wanna hop back in

[waxen scarab]

that's funny, good luck lol

[kind star]

ty - hunt showdown is good but the highs in tarkov are higher

[waxen scarab]

lows are lower too

[kind star]

duality of tarkov

[waxen scarab]

2 days ago i was at 500 roubles in my stash, up to 2.5 mil now. 0 to hero 😂

[deft dew]

fuck it, I'm running customs with a kedr from now on, I can only profit

[bitter lotus]

how do u have 2,5m at lvl 31

[waxen scarab]

i spend alot of money lol

[deft dew]

I have like 7 mil

[bitter lotus]

maxed hideout?

[waxen scarab]

almost

[static nebula]

i have to kill 35 scavs with this gun, I newer used as a weekly quest 🙂

[waxen scarab]

just need solar, air, bitcoin farm

[static nebula]

good early game goals

[waxen scarab]

i fucking love the ppsh, unironically my favorite smg but the ammo is really shit

[bitter lotus]

i cant bother doing anything else than scav case btc farm 1 then booze generator

[bold kernel]

i just started any1 wanna play

[waxen scarab]

another reason i was so broke was that i was just spamming factory runs with the paca & 6b47 for punisher since i wanted to get that done asap

[unkempt ingot]

do i need the lion and horse statues or do i sell them?

[waxen scarab]

i'd keep em for a docs case

[static nebula]

if you have space keep them

[static nebula]

i have ingame screen

[waxen scarab]

chad

[unkempt ingot]

who do i sell dollars to?

[waxen scarab]

nobody, peacekeeper uses them as currency

[static nebula]

you keep dollars

ll2 peacekeeper sells you smgs for $

[upper sentinel]

I’ll play tn if u want to

[frail anvil]

Im just gonna collect random ass mods I find and sell them to skier

[static nebula]

mechanic pays more, or you need money spent on skier?

[vivid hemlock]

Just buy the doc case off of flee it's like 300k

[tardy citrus]

is the tac-kek face shield good?

[frail anvil]

Latter

[dusky geyser]

which one would be better for a 74?

[static nebula]

only against scavs

[dusky geyser]

w/ an AK100 series handguard

[steep flame]

id say 1st

[vivid hemlock]

Do you have flee

[dusky geyser]

nope

17k xp left

[frail anvil]

I think all of us newbies are just waiting to hit lvl 15

[vivid hemlock]

When you hit that you can start playing the game normally

[steep flame]

i mean at that level you still end up running the same stuff anyway really

[pulsar crypt]

im new to the game and currently lvl 9 tryna hit lvl 15 im struggling with my tasks: the first jager task and "delivery from they" past any tips on how to easliy do these cant find iskra and large beef stew, espesially surviving on factory without being 1 tapped

[static nebula]

whats the first jaeger task

[vivid hemlock]

Try to go factory night if that doesn't work you will need friends, the food you can craft

[vivid hemlock]

3 beef stew and 3 iskra

Found in raid

[static nebula]

so just play tha game nice

[vivid hemlock]

For a lot of food just hit usec camp on woods

There are a lot of food crates

[true timber]

also new 🙂 i found these items in woods map, i checked the spawns and there are a lot more provisions than on lets say customs

[static nebula]

yea usec has iskras and mres

[deft dew]

you can easily scav for the food you need

[vivid hemlock]

Woods are begginer friendly version of lighthouse

Change my mind

[bold kernel]

Woods is still hard as

[vivid hemlock]

If you are looking for trouble

I just do my usual loot run and camp for a sec, kinda chill

[steep flame]

tushonka you can get in goshan, same with lunchbox but they're not as common

but lunchboxes just go loot any of the black cube weapon boxes on interchange and youll get one per box

[deft dew]

pretty much any "find X in raid and hand it in" is doable on a scav run so you don't have to risk as a PMC

[smoky moth]

usec camp in woods spawn a lot

just find stashes and ration supply crates

[fallen lantern]

Which spots do you need to be careful of extract campers in?

[remote kettle]

lion is needed for quest

[wicked kiln]

i bought this game but never play it, i was so lost

[valid hatch]

what map?

[steep flame]

or just get the guarenteed ones on inter

[fallen lantern]

Customs

[remote kettle]

all of them

[fallen lantern]

I keep dying running past Crack house

[remote kettle]

d2 is probably the worst though

[fallen lantern]

But only on the back wall near unknown key

[remote kettle]

thats not extract campers

thats just a common chokepoint

[deft dew]

D2 you just grab all the nades off raiders and yeet the shit out of smaller rooms and doorways

[steep flame]

if you even find them

[valid hatch]

yeah d2 there's angles that the camper can see you but you can't properly see them

[remote kettle]

people are so fucking creative camping D2 to the point that no matter how many nades i toss there will always be that one corner

[vernal cave]

hi i just started playing escape from tarkov and im finding it really hard to find extraction points any suggetions to help ive heard of 3rd party maps but on the map i have no idea where i am

[tough oyster]

how do i find a specific item in my stash?

[fallen lantern]

Where's d2m

[remote kettle]

reserve bunkers

[steep flame]

use maps and play offline raids

[fallen lantern]

Awe I thought it was shoreline

[vernal cave]

how do i know where i am on the map

[fallen lantern]

You just gotta know

[steep flame]

just figure it out by looking around

[vernal cave]

kk sweet ty

[remote kettle]

look for landmarks. customs for example, look for places like fortress, the train tracks, big red, dorms, silos etc

[vernal cave]

can u give me a website with the best maps in your opinion

[smoky moth]

mapgenie

[fast wadi]

or the wiki

[fallen lantern]

Tarkov has a good app I use

Literally called tarkov maps

[remote kettle]

on woods you can quickly get a direction with compass by either using the massive mountain up north or sniper rock in the middle

mapgenie is the best

[vernal cave]

k map gienie

thanks guys appreciate it

@true timber thanks for the info, have you done the delivery from the past task every time I go factory I die within 5 minutes

[remote kettle]

get a 5 stack of gamers or just play it super slow and pray you dont get forklift corner spawn

[true timber]

nah man, i get headache when i hear "factory", i tried once today so i could get pistol kills for another quest and died 6 seconds into the raid, gonna try finding some people on this discord for help later

[vernal cave]

worth 10 bucks i really like cutoms

?

[remote kettle]

you dont need to pay...

[vernal cave]

says customs is for pro

[remote kettle]

?

[vernal cave]

sorry

[remote kettle]

reserve and lighthouse are

[vernal cave]

reserve

nvm

[remote kettle]

i wouldnt pay

[vernal cave]

im being dumb sorry

[remote kettle]

there are other maps you can use for lighthouse and reserve

lighthouse is super easy to learn so just use the map on the wiki

[pulsar crypt]

@remote kettle I don’t have a 5 man I’m solo most of the time mainly a duo and rarely a trio hard to find chill people to play with frequently the game is so toxic even with voip a full geared lvl 5000 will kill me naked with pistol

[remote kettle]

#pvp-lfg

[pulsar crypt]

@remote kettle thank you I’ll have a look into that

[true timber]

can i do farming quest on factory, to repair two things with toolset in my safe container? also do i need to fix both in same raid and then extract?

[remote kettle]

you can do all three subtasks in different raids

once youve fixed both i think you just need an extract, doesnt have to be factory

[true timber]

oh 😄 i did jaeger quest that i was supposed to survive for 5 mins dehydrated and then extract, but i died do land mines and it still counted lol

[remote kettle]

thats a bug, dying sometimes count as survived for tasks for some reason

[true timber]

those jaeger's quests only get worse? right now im at kill scavs without armor or rig and kill pmcs with tremor effect

[remote kettle]

idk if its patched or not but when i did the unarmored quest i could wear the MMAC rig and still get kill credit

[true timber]

i tried with another armored rig and didnt count, but maybe its item specific 🙂

[static nebula]

it shouldnt work with armored rig, good for you

[remote kettle]

yeah thats what i mean. the MMAC is bugged and still worked

[true timber]

so best way to do that quest is use like sks or mosin and try to snipe them?

[remote kettle]

thats what i did. bring armor and drop it before shooting them from range

[static nebula]

love jaeger

[remote kettle]

before i found out about the mmac bug

[remote kettle]

jaeger sucks

[deft dew]

the fuck is a PMC doing sitting in the emercom camp on woods with 10min left in the raid

[blazing bay]

is it bannable to use 3rd party software that lowers sound in the game?

[static nebula]

killing scavs

[deft dew]

well I had a feeling something was up, got jaws'd with an SKS

[true timber]

sometimes i feel like scavs have some scanners instead of eyes and they can see me from 100 meters away, not talking about snipers, even through trees

[static nebula]

its not like the extract is far away

[remote kettle]

just use sound manager that comes with windows

[static nebula]

emercomp is the one with med cars?

[deft dew]

I know I shouldn't have gone there with all the scavs dead

[static nebula]

ambulance

[blazing bay]

yeah but the ambiant sound is really hard on my ears and the hideout buzz sounds, would like to know if its possible to lower them

[remote kettle]

emercom is the massive traffic jam

[deft dew]

but one scav was up so I thought I'm okay

[true timber]

i think you can disable hideout sounds

[blazing bay]

i know you can but the only sound i dont want in hideout is the buzz not the other ones

is that achieveable

[remote kettle]

hideout you can make sure you dont have headset on in game and mute the game sound..

why do you need to hear anything in hideout

[dire eagle]

As for in-raid audio, you can use specific headsets which reduce ambient sound more than others, look up "Tarkov headset comparisons" on youtube, Veritas has a great video on it

[blazing bay]

just me being ocd about game experience

[remote kettle]

basically any headset except the gssh will filter in raid sounds

for hideout just dont wear one

[blazing bay]

oh yeah that one i did watch it and found my fav headphone

[dire eagle]

nice

[blazing bay]

razaor is best for me

2n d comtac

[remote kettle]

to answer your question though, using a third party program that interferes with the games function in some way is bannable

[vagrant wolf]

Am I allowed to play other games or should I dedicate copius amounts of time to EFT?

[dawn geyser]

Sordins sound signature

[deft dew]

fuck my deaths are so stupid today, first I get sandwiched on customs, then bopped on woods by a player scav with fucking eko ammo, now one-tapped with a dumbass sitting near extract with an SKS

[blazing bay]

alright thx for the answeres guys

appreciate

[remote kettle]

i dont play the game that much. nobody is gonna force you to play a tons, but obviously youll get an advantage if you dedicate more time into progressing. just like any other mmo/rpg

[vagrant wolf]

The grind forces me

[remote kettle]

no it doesnt, it doesnt FORCE you, however the more time you dedicate the bigger your advantage gets. just like i said in my first message

[dire eagle]

Once you buy EFT, you've signed a document dedicating the rest of your life to exclusively play EFT, even thinking about playing another game is punishable by death

[deft dew]

how can I get as lucky as these players tapping me out of nowhere without spending 25 minutes molesting a bush or a corner somewhere

[remote kettle]

i have been executed thrice then

[dire eagle]

[vagrant wolf]

More grind is the only answer

[remote kettle]

its not luck

[vagrant wolf]

You just gotta be able to aim faster than them, and have an accurate gun, and use good ammo

[dire eagle]

Positioning, game knowledge, pvp skills - in other words, practise. Everyone has their "getting constantly slapped around" period

[remote kettle]

you dont need good ammo. abuse m80, 8.5 buck etc

[vagrant wolf]

But I use sks and ak

[hardy crest]

whats the easiest and cheapest way to get money up on jaeger so i can get him to t2

[static nebula]

I got slapped by slav helmet dude in Interchange

[remote kettle]

if you have good ammo for a different cal maybe try a different gun?

[vagrant wolf]

I have a buttload of 9mm, but who uses that?

[deft dew]

the dude was literally just nearby with 10 min left into the raid and all the scavs around dead and I haven't heard any shots there 10 min before

[remote kettle]

9mm is not good ammo

buy m80 from pk2

[vagrant wolf]

Theres also alot of hackers, I ran into three yesterday, I think

[remote kettle]

get rfb

game

[dire eagle]

Most natural way is to sell your loot to him instead of Mechanic - buy his equipment to use. There are certain items you can cheese his money spent (as with other traders), though I dont remember which, pretty sure there are videos on it tho

[vagrant wolf]

Will try

[remote kettle]

antique axe

unless they finally changed that

[true timber]

i sell him bags and some provisions or barter items, i know other traders pay more, but need to get that cash in with jaeger

[remote kettle]

havent played in a while but they sell on flea for like 60k a pop and sell to jaeger for 57k

[vagrant wolf]

They still do

[static nebula]

go without knife, take scavs knife, sell to jaeger

also sell him condensed milk and stuff

[vagrant wolf]

Buisness idea

[remote kettle]

gonna take about 15000 years

[vagrant wolf]

Time well spent

[dire eagle]

Possibly slow looter, scaredy boy hiding in a bush till the end to do their quest(s)... Extract camper? These are things to keep in mind when moving throughout the map. The fact that you are in a place at a time means that someone else might be doing the same. You're not out until you're out, and it takes a death or two (or just encounters) to learn where to look out for trouble. Sometimes though you just get caught out and die, the nature of Tarkov.

[remote kettle]

just buy antique axes from flea and sell em to jaeger. most of the time youll even make a bit of money if you buy at the right time

[static nebula]

sell him shotguns/sniper rifles

[deft dew]

"that's just Tarkov" will probably keep me playing the next wipe like 2 weeks max and then I'll be done with the game, too much time for the potential reward

I already play like 90% scav runs simply because they're easier and I earn much more than if I were to run PMC

[bold kernel]

The only way to level up is making quests right?

[dawn geyser]

No, raiders are good EXP

Just doing raids in general will give you EXP
