beginners-assistance

[elder anchor]

can anyone help me with the extortionist quest?

[tough oyster]

i just have those new lighthouse quests to do

[pure mist]

Surprise to see you’re still on office Kills then lolol

[pure mist]

Those are kappa required

[tough oyster]

and anything that still has pmc kills

[misty ginkgo]

How? The quest with pmc kills is the most fun

[tough oyster]

cus im new to k&m so i suck,

for example, i was plat in r6 on ps4, bronze on pc lol

[misty ginkgo]

You'll get used to it. Mouse and keyboard is way more fun, way more possibilities.

[normal plover]

did the reduce m4 recoil?

they

[wanton bough]

how do you fix it to where you can see all the beginner assit calls? i see it but wont let me see the chats

[balmy cargo]

this key is 47k or smtn but it has nothing in it

why its 40k

[misty ginkgo]

Some stupid people is gonna buy it... Probably a mistake 🤷

[rough scarab]

Usually It sells for whatever therapist pays for it

[somber fox]

does anyone have rbst ?

[signal ermine]

anyone know if this cupboard ever has loot? (med tent in factory)

[somber fox]

it doesnot

[dusky geyser]

only the bag and the med crate outside have loot in them

[signal ermine]

yeah

i wonder why u can open it then

[misty ginkgo]

In the future it's probably gonna be a lootable thing 🤷

Who knows

[signal ermine]

hopefully

also anyone know why sometimes loot crates stay open but other times they auto close?

[hazy veldt]

therapist pays 47250.

[open apex]

should i buy these right now iv never seen them so low

i need 2 for heating

[misty ginkgo]

I would think they are gonna stay there, or lower even more in price. People don't need them anymore 🤷

[open apex]

ill wait till tmrw when my security is done upgrading

[tough oyster]

btw is it true that fuel usage is 2x when logged off?

saw it on reddit yesterday

[smoky moth]

solar panel upgrade doesn't work, they said

[umbral latch]

am i going to be able to see with this in the way? if not how can i take this off?

[signal ermine]

u can always check in offline mode

im new too so i have no idea how to take it off tho :)

[ashen wave]

what do euros even do can you buy other currency w them?

[tough oyster]

looks like i need to kill sanitar, how often does he spawn?

[tulip gate]

change gas block

MK12 low profile from mechanic

[vapid maple]

Anyone have tips on how to get better I’m not new just bad

[inner glacier]

Just took these bags off 2 pmcs I killed in a night raid. I only had 50% stamina bar max, is that becayse of the size of the BP or because I was carrying a lot?

[signal ermine]

by bad do you mean aim? or game sens or what?

[tulip gate]

becuse you were carrying a lot

look at your weight

[inner glacier]

It says 62/73. isn't that ok? @tulip gate

[tulip gate]

no 💀

you weigh 63 kilos

out of the 73 max

[inner glacier]

Right, so what weight would be normal to be carrying in a looted up run?

[tulip gate]

i wouldnt really say there is one

[signal ermine]

if you need to improve your aim, try some aimtrainers kovaak, aimlabs, osu etc.... if you need to improve your game sens id recommend watching youtubers who are good at the game and trying to pick some things up (im also new but this is the same with every game)

[tulip gate]

your dude was basically carrying one of these on his back and running around with it

[inner glacier]

Honestly I'm actually buzzing off my tits tbh, beating two juiced PMCs with a ltitle Vepr KM with headshots has made my day haha. Needed that

[inner glacier]

jesus christ.

[vapid maple]

Honestly I just die because of bad pushes or positioning sometimes aim and movement

[tulip gate]

play slow and let people come to you

[signal ermine]

yeah in the end its just practice, keep playing and eventually you will get better you'll start getting more kills, extracts....

[inner glacier]

I watched both Pestily and Rengawr's youtube series. The pestily series is called "raid" series and rengawr's new player one talking about overcoming in-game anxiety and playing more aggressive/confidently helped me a lot.

[tulip gate]

oh yeah

[signal ermine]

i recently started playing and i have the same problem, just keep playing and you will improve

[inner glacier]

sry, highlighted the wrong message

Mean to reply to @vapid maple

[signal ermine]

yeah ive been watching pestily, might try rengawr

[signal ermine]

no worries

[inner glacier]

do you reckon it was mainly due to guns, or the backpacks or the big Osprey rig?

How can I headshot someone wearing Tagilla's Ubey mask, and it stays 40/40 dura?

[tulip gate]

backpacks and the vest

the guns aswell

especially that M1A

[inner glacier]

yeah it had a thermal on too

those boys are not happy chappies

[tulip gate]

those dudes are probably pissed 💀

[inner glacier]

two big rigs too

Question - so I actually cleared space to grab the second rig, but because i had a backpack within a backpack, the "take" option wasn't there because it was on the ground. Is there anything I can do there? or is it just rip

or do I have to use the dude's dead body to play loot jenga

[tulip gate]

i think you gotta play loot jenga

[inner glacier]

I just mean if you see a rig/item on the floor you have room for but cant "take" for whatever reason, are you just stuck if you dont have a body to micro on

[sly warren]

If I go in with 3 friends, does the game match us also versus 2 or 3 or 4 man groups? And likewise when I go solo, does it match me mostly with other solos?

[north meteor]

You can always use the ground instead of a body to sort items if that's what you mean

Not actually sort but you can drop etc

It sounds like you need to separate the backpack stack first, fill the one inside and restack. You can't take items 2 bags deep by grabbing

[harsh python]

No

[inner glacier]

Sort of. So in this example I killed two PMCs right, I took one of their rigs, ditching my own old one in a cupboard for insurance. Then I instantly swapped riggs on the second body without realising I could have backpacked it. the first pmc rig was on the floor. When I hovered over it, i couldnt pick it, because the game wanted me to put it on my body rather than drag it into my backpack. if that makes sense?

[harsh python]

It’s just gonna fill the server with who it can

[inner glacier]

ahhhhh that makes sense @north meteor . so if I did that, how do I ensure I can re-stack the bp?

[north meteor]

Leave 1 bag completely empty and equip it, then fill the other bag on the ground and take it

[sonic citrus]

could anyone help me complete the quest to get jaeger? im solo and i just started a couple of days ago on this wipe and i cant find my way around woods at all

[inner glacier]

I suppose if you have a body to play with you can always do it right

it just takes time

[north meteor]

Yeah it can be a little tricky, I don't like stacking too much stuff cause it gets crazy lol

[inner glacier]

I feel ya

[native mauve]

anyone lvl30+ who wont team kill me down to do some raids

[grizzled shadow]

How do i get the RSASS for the gunsmith part 6 quest?

[north meteor]

I think there is a peacekeeper quest that unlocks for barter, or find one. I found one on reserve in the black weapons crate

[merry vapor]

peacekeper has a barter, 8 usec and 8 bear tags for an rsass

[sonic citrus]

can anyone help me on woods complete the jaeger quest?

[bold kernel]

ik this might sound stupid but my stash is pretty full i was wondering if someone could get me to level 2 stash

[merry vapor]

how would someone do that

[grizzled shadow]

Now just to find some bears, I've got like 30 usec tags but no bears

[merry vapor]

yea i only have 1, no one runs bear lmao

[north meteor]

I actually see a lot

[bold kernel]

which trader sells shotgun ammo

[merry vapor]

jaeger

[bold kernel]

shit

i dont have him

[frail anvil]

You can try fence

[misty ginkgo]

I’m Bear 😦

25% of my pmc kills is Bear lol. You’ll be fine

[inner glacier]

Can you sell items you buy from traders on the flea?

[merry vapor]

yes

[misty ginkgo]

No, they’re not fir

[misty ginkgo]

Items from traders aren’t fir…

[merry vapor]

oh i thought he meant it the other way arounf lmao

[inner glacier]

ffs, I just got baited into a trade to flip 😦

[bold kernel]

sometimes shit has to happen to ya to learn, no worries

[misty ginkgo]

It would be op that way tbh.

There is so many global stock barters that people are gonna wait for - and barter it instant.

[bold kernel]

sucks though, people are shit

sometimes

[inner glacier]

true

honest mistake, w/e.

[bold kernel]

ya especially with this game its like you want any help you can get

[misty ginkgo]

Isn’t there only like 5 Black barters each restock?

[inner glacier]

what is a black barter

[misty ginkgo]

Black Keycard. One of the best rooms in Labs

[merry vapor]

keycard barter

[inner glacier]

im just wondering whether to hold on to brown knives or not. could trade them for mp5

but i dont know whether mp5 is any good

[misty ginkgo]

I would hold onto them. MP5 is a pretty good beginner gun.

[bold kernel]

close range but you can do some damage, 30 rnd mags from someone lv1

test it out a few times offline

hell do that with every new gun

[inner glacier]

so good for factory PMC spree

[bold kernel]

single fire its like a better pistol

[misty ginkgo]

Im pretty sure Pestily have made a 12.12 gun tier list. I would recommend watching that

[inner glacier]

wait you would single fire an mp5?!

[inner glacier]

its in my saved videos 😄

[bold kernel]

if its far away what else would i do ha

[misty ginkgo]

Dont ever. Pls

[bold kernel]

have fun missing past 20m

[inner glacier]

tbf if I was using an MP5 i wouldnt take fights past 20m

[bold kernel]

use what you need for the situation, adapt, dont listen to hard and fast rules, generally 😛

[inner glacier]

fair comment

[bold kernel]

sometimes you dont have the option

[copper spire]

low level and looking to learn a bit more if anyone is looking to duo or something

[bold kernel]

often in fact

[inner glacier]

I just laughed at the thought of single firing a submachine gun like that one 😄

[misty ginkgo]

Have fun not one shot headshot 🙂

9x19mm is decent - but not good enough for you to single fire it.

[bold kernel]

eyes, 9mm kills like anything else

[misty ginkgo]

If you’re under lvl 15 - and need to save knifes for the MP5 barter

[bold kernel]

youre saying youve lost the fight before you even fight

[misty ginkgo]

You’re probably gonna have an iron sight on it

[bold kernel]

yea worth getting used to those

[misty ginkgo]

Better just spray and pray. People are gonna hs you before you get lined up a headshot

[misty ginkgo]

Not really. LL1 traders vpo is op

[bold kernel]

if they see you first or youre slow sure, what if youre faster than them? everyone is fast than you? damn

[merry vapor]

just buy knifes from fence, theyre like 5k

[bold kernel]

i dunno i like using everyitnhg and trying to figure out how to make it work, its fun. everything has its use and you can twist most shit into other uses

[misty ginkgo]

Yes - my reactions very slow 😦 Pls don’t hate 😦

If people shoot at me over 20 meters it means they have a gun that’s good for that.

If you can’t spray and pray you’re gonna have a problem in this game.

[bold kernel]

im not hating. im saying dont assume youre gonna lose every gun fight. someone is slower than you out there. its not hate i apologize if it seemed that way.

oh if they shoot first, yes, dont stop and aim for their head, unless you reposition and they cant see you again

unless you know they are worse than you through some other context clue

[misty ginkgo]

Always hope for the best - expect the worst.

I was joking about the hate lmao, you’re good 🙂

I hope that people miss all their shots.

I expect that they’re gonna headshot me

[bold kernel]

right. but say you see them miss like 10 shots in a row. you cant play against them a little differently, if you want

maybe take that extra second to line up

[misty ginkgo]

If you at that point can get behind cover - you should probably try and:

1. Get closer - and spray them down.

2. Run

[bold kernel]

thats all i meant

[karmic dove]

Anyone know where the best spot is to find thermite

[misty ginkgo]

Lighthouse - Water Treatment and train yard

[bold kernel]

maybe that works for you, another important part of all this. i can easily headshot a guy who doesnt see me with an mp5 single fire. im old. i should be able to

but whatever works best for you is the plan you shoudl use

[misty ginkgo]

I don’t use iron sights - No need to give myself a disadvantage.

I really only play sweaty maps, where pvp is a big factor.

Everyone wanna survive there

[karmic dove]

thanks @misty ginkgo

[hoary marten]

can someone help me i just started

and keep dying ig

[bold kernel]

fair enough. i wouldnt use irons if i had the choice except a couple that i kinda like

got any video?

[misty ginkgo]

What iron sights do you like enough?

Enough that wouldn’t change it to a vudu or something like that

The only iron sight i say that i like is the old Five Seven. I loved that stuff

[bold kernel]

i mean say this one holo i hate id take it off

of most shit

hurts my eyes on my monitor or something i dunno

its weird

[forest plover]

is the 20btc for thicc weapons worth?

[bold kernel]

this thing is so trash haha

[misty ginkgo]

No

[forest plover]

why not?

[misty ginkgo]

Jaeger ll4 is better

If you barter the weapon cases for 1 mill each.

The ammo cases is probably 1 mill more

[forest plover]

Sold out faster than black cards

[misty ginkgo]

Snipe it 🤷‍♂️

Just use Flea to snipe, its very easy

[misty ginkgo]

Yeah. Some sights in this game is just straight up trash.

[bold kernel]

probably. but for real this monitor has the WORST light bleed ive ever seen

144 tho so hey. works for now

[misty ginkgo]

Labs is the only map is play that my pc can keep over 120 fps on lol

This game hates my pc

[bold kernel]

i cant hit 144, not close

my 1060 used to be relevant

i convinced myself the freesync is AMAZING tho so thats coo

[misty ginkgo]

Yeah. This game could really use some optimisation

[tidal peak]

yo can anyone help me and friend out with tasks on customs were level 4 and 7

[bold kernel]

hey compared to some others its ok by me, but agreed

[misty ginkgo]

What tasks?

[tidal peak]

pocket watch and interdiction

shit

[misty ginkgo]

Interdiction?

[fast wadi]

Introduction

[tidal peak]

ya

[misty ginkgo]

Ohhh

You EU or NA?

[tidal peak]

Na

[misty ginkgo]

Can you play NA East servers?

[tidal peak]

what lev are you

[misty ginkgo]

30

[tidal peak]

ya

we can play on east

[keen linden]

NAE level 1, first time playing tarkov today would love help

[maiden perch]

Oh boy.

Feel free to message me, Chad with 4k Hours.

[nimble basalt]

This man is a monster

He needs to be stopped

@edgy plover

[maiden perch]

Some things to note for new players @keen linden

• Forget what you know about FPS games mostly
• Guns, Bullets and armor do a very good job of 'reflecting' there real life counter part, meaning if you shoot a gun in high grade military armor with trainning ammo, its not going to work
• DO NOT RUN - USE YOUR EARS
• you can only reload from your pockets or tactical vest without opening your inventory
• make sure you accept task.

[nimble basalt]

Slaughtering Pistolings like a madman

[edgy plover]

[merry vapor]

harsh

[edgy plover]

<3

[old herald]

Nah, 100% sure @nimble basalt deserved it.

[nimble basalt]

I kinda had it coming, this may all just be shitposting. You decide

Picking on a level 3.4 is uncalled for though

[balmy cargo]

HOW I FIND THIS KEY ?

[bleak gust]

Can anyone help me get ahold of the bunkhouse key for customs?

[graceful marsh]

same as basically any other key

[severe pivot]

hi what use do i have for GP coins?

sell to a trader?

[vale sky]

Any place to find splints and morphine?

[open hedge]

Crack den has a decent 1-2 spawn for both of those per raid

[vale sky]

So I’ve heard

doesn’t it also have intel spawns

[open hedge]

Intel spawns got nerfed hard but they still do happen sometimes

[stuck crown]

is there a reason why I cannot select any other server apart from Australia and Singapore? I'm trying to play with a friend in the US but I feel like there's now a region lock (I used to be able to play with a US friend 2 years ago)

[vale sky]

I found an intel folder once and sold it like an idiot

I didn’t even use flea market yet

[graceful marsh]

i sold mine for 900k

[fast wadi]

Ping limit at play probably

[bleak gust]

No help on the bunkhouse key huh?

[magic wing]

How much spec do you need to be good for tarcov

[vale sky]

Lots of ram

[open hedge]

12gb of ram is minimum unless you fancy only playing factory

[stuck crown]

damn that sucks

[split dagger]

16gb ram at least

[stable island]

i fucking hate player scavs bro i killed a gear guy and was looting him and he did lean friendly then shot me when iw as looting him

[frail anvil]

You leave server in auto and then have your friend invite you or you invite him, however if your ping is above 170+ there is a chance for you to dc and it may be unplayable for you

[stable island]

a scav ran up to me

and killed me when i was looting dude

i was scav too

sad

[dire rock]

its his rep

[frail anvil]

Voip

Use it

[stable island]

he stood there to and looked at me

[stuck crown]

yeah, im in NZ and everything except for aussie and singapore is 200+ so XD

[stable island]

then he contemplated it

and killed me

[frail anvil]

Hunter you gotta use voip

Otherwise they just kill you

[stable island]

alright

he still prob wouldve killed me cuz i killed a gear guy

he also had like the best armor in the game man and backpack ive never seen befor

me sad

[frail anvil]

I had a situation like that ystd on ic there was a scav player behind me while I was climbing stairs so I asked if hes gonna shoot me and continued that if he is imma kill him simple as that

[loud sphinx]

just spawned with a hillside house key and extracted dont know what to sell it for i dont play lighthouse

[fast wadi]

You don't play lighthouse yet

[worn surge]

@loud sphinx marked

[cobalt onyx]

gunsmith part 1. have every attachment in the wiki? still not the right recoil.

[cobalt onyx]

is it the barrel?

[loud sphinx]

how many GPU would you value it at?

[smoky moth]

is durability over 60

[cobalt onyx]

61

[smoky moth]

check if your weapon passed every requirements on the wiki

[frail anvil]

Im just missing gk02 for that

[worn surge]

@loud sphinx there's a listing on market for 9

@cobalt onyx check details on an updated YouTube video?

[inner glacier]

anyone know why mechanic won't by the top AK 105? (the one he will buy has worse durability). Bought top one off flea

[worn surge]

@inner glacier not found in raid?

[inner glacier]

so he won't buy for that reason?

didnt think it affected traders

[worn surge]

Lol oops I'm an idiot, what's the durability?

[inner glacier]

you can see on them :p

[worn surge]

It doesn't, I was wrong I'm sorry

[inner glacier]

oh shit is that rounds maybe

[worn surge]

Too fuzzy on my phone

[inner glacier]

nah you're right. i thought the ammo number was durability lol

its late

[dire rock]

strip the parts and sell those to him for best profit

or just sell the whole thing to fence if your lazy like me

[severe pivot]

who do i sell a GO coin too?

dont have flea market open yet

[dire rock]

therapist

[severe pivot]

ok thanks

[frail anvil]

Strip it down and sell him the parts individually

[worn surge]

I forget what the durability needs to be above when selling to mechanic, if it's too low you have to disassemble

[inner glacier]

ty

[inner glacier]

ty

[dire rock]

np

[severe pivot]

can i sell a raven statue too? or do i need it for any early quests

[dire rock]

i think its around 60ish

[dire rock]

sell it

[severe pivot]

thansk broski

[frail anvil]

I found my first psu ystd

[dire rock]

mhm

[worn surge]

@dire rock that does sound right

[waxen scarab]

For traders to buy a weapon it needs to have (Doesn't matter) / >60. As long as max dura is 60+ anybody will buy, if under sell to fence

[severe pivot]

i have 2 labs access cards, should i hang on to both of them

[waxen scarab]

give to jaeger later

[dire rock]

only if you plan on going labs

[severe pivot]

i dont really

[frail anvil]

Sell on flea then

[smoky moth]

its banned on flea

[frail anvil]

Oh

Welp

[smoky moth]

a lot of top tier stuff are banned

[frail anvil]

Dumb

But alrighty

[smoky moth]

you can only get labs keycard from Therapist LL4 and lucky scav loadouts

110k

[severe pivot]

sell to therapist?

[worn surge]

Save for jaegers quest or samples quest

[frail anvil]

Jesus

[smoky moth]

dont

unless you're really low on money

its only 60-70k

could spend it on a labs tour and profit more tbh

[severe pivot]

i have 2 of them though 👀

[smoky moth]

just keep them

you'll need it for jaeger

i have not gotten that quest tho

[dire rock]

keep those 2 then sell all the other ones you find

[smoky moth]

what quest is before this

[severe pivot]

im the kind of newb that has to go on "kamikaze raids" where you dont plan on coming back out alive 😬

[frail anvil]

Should I work toward int center?

[waxen scarab]

woods cleaning

[dire rock]

yes

leads to BTC farm and lower scav CD

[smoky moth]

and before woods cleaning?

[waxen scarab]

ideally you should max out your hideout

[worn surge]

Or save them for offline warmup in labs 💪

[frail anvil]

Cd?

[severe pivot]

but 10-4 gonna hold on to the key cards

[waxen scarab]

secured perimeter

[stable island]

can i only sell labs keycard to the therapist

[dire rock]

cooldown

[vale sky]

Does white bishop have the most meds of any building in reserve?

[smoky moth]

wtf

factory

should i do the quest rn?

[waxen scarab]

i've already done most of jaegers quests luckily lol

[worn surge]

@stable island yes

[smoky moth]

i can go with a pistol since i am guaranteed 99% to lose my m4

[waxen scarab]

I would, jaeger sells some good stuff

[smoky moth]

i need his loyalty level to get my hideout maxed

[waxen scarab]

that too

Weapons case, thicc case, sicc case, holodnick
Only from jaeger lol

[smoky moth]

wait what does "all over the tarkov territory" means

all maps?

[worn surge]

@smoky moth yes

[smoky moth]

alright it'll be easier that way

[frail anvil]

I need to upgrade my vents and security i think

[smoky moth]

shoreline is the worst possible place bsg decided to make the majority of kill quests there

[frail anvil]

Bruh

[smoky moth]

the only scavs i saw were either at pier or the sniper rocks behind health resort

sniper rocks is guaranteed but pier is 50/50

[dire rock]

gonna be in and out of raids so if anyone needs me shoot me a DM

[frail anvil]

Soloing is hard

[tough oyster]

i thought rogues dont agro scavs outside of the compounc

[coral osprey]

damn finally got a airdrop, 2 fn 5-7s , sr25 pestily mask and lvl 4 rig

[worn surge]

@tough oyster another scav may have aggrod them

[unkempt yoke]

where to store keys when not in use

[waxen scarab]

multiple docs cases so one per map

[pure marsh]

I usually get them on scav Island, gas station, power and village

[dire rock]

if i can do it on korean servers with a laptop barely managing 40 fps you can too :)

[frail anvil]

I can do it, its just sometimes I wish I had someone to play with cuz I suck

[pure marsh]

Join one of the voice chats. Most people are chill

[austere hound]

Will it let you reconnect to a raid even if you disconnected and died?

[pure marsh]

And most people won't mind helping

[stable island]

what does green smoke mean at gas station on shoreline

[waxen scarab]

extracts open

[frail anvil]

Open exfil

[stable island]

TY

[austere hound]

My game crashed mid scav fight & I loaded in to sitting at a black screen

[smoky moth]

died = cant reconnect

[austere hound]

Bet. Had to altf4 & this time I couldn't reconnect lol

[frail anvil]

Just wait itll get you back to main screen

[dire rock]

yeah sometimes tarkov just decides its not gonna work

[austere violet]

Weird i was in the middle of a woods raid and i dropped and reopen the game to just being at the startup screen like there was never a raid

[smoky moth]

did you click disconnect

instead of alt + f4

[austere violet]

i just suddenly crashed after killing a scav and walking a bit

game just closed

[pure marsh]

The server might have been rolled back. Not super uncommon

[austere violet]

weird oh well

[pure marsh]

Especially since the servers have been on fire since the twitch drops

[iron knoll]

What is dorms marked key worth??

[manic arrow]

at least 1mil

[waxen scarab]

^ I'd definitely pay a mil for it

[barren sapphire]

sorry for the dumb question but what exactly is the usecase for the sj1 injector?

[waxen scarab]

run with more weight for longer and lessens knockback from getting shot

[smoky moth]

inspect should show what it does

[barren sapphire]

so its like a budget MULE ?

[waxen scarab]

Weak mule that helps in combat yeah

[rose igloo]

I'm not sure, does anyone else know?

[fast wadi]

a lot

keep it, since you'll need it for a quest

[ancient summit]

newer player looking for help

[neat forge]

3 of my trades have the same mission, where i mark the bus in container building in customs. Ive finished it, if i collect the quest reward from one of the traders will the quest reward from the other traders disapear?

[dire rock]

it shouldnt

[fast wadi]

the other quests will fail

[dire rock]

oh im thinking of a different task mb

[neat forge]

which one did yall choose lol im tempted to choose therapists rewards over prapor and skier

[smoky moth]

LMAO

[dire rock]

i think thats the quest that makes you pay skier 1M to fix your rep with him

[pure marsh]

Yurp

[smoky moth]

I WAS FUCKING AROUND TO DO THE FACTORY QUEST BUT TAGILLA SPAWNED

[fast wadi]

and give prapor 7 nades

[smoky moth]

i got his fuckin facemask in my ass rn

[dire rock]

neat

[fast wadi]

good thing that he didn't spawn in my last raid, would have been hard killing him with a grach

[dire rock]

always keep a grach in your croch

[stable island]

need money what i do

[dire rock]

scav raid

[stable island]

where to

stash runs

im guessing

[smoky moth]

woods is best stashes

[dire rock]

customs is my fav but interchange also works

[stable island]

customs is mad dangerous

[fast wadi]

can't put pistols between your buttcheeks

[dire rock]

stash run/check for dead PMC loot/airdrops whatever you want

[smoky moth]

is five seven good?

im running it for factory

[tough oyster]

how is this for 200k? gotta use an m4 for the UN quest, and i only like going at night. also like tan

[smoky moth]

i shot a naked guy with only a shotgun and he tanked all the damage

and he shot me with just one shot

[misty ginkgo]

56 recoil is pretty good for 200k.

37 recoil is decent afaik

I don’t really use M4 - so don’t know what a good Price vs performance is

[pure marsh]

Didn't the 5.56 platforms get nerfed to the ground with the recent wipe?

[violet furnace]

do u need pmc or scav kills? bc if scav kills maybe go adar, bit cheaper

[inland hound]

hey by chance does anyone have 2 keys so i can work on quests? i need the tarcone directors office key and the key for operation aquarious part 1

[pure marsh]

I have the key for aquarius but I won't be on until like 1030 CST

[frail anvil]

Ill wait till I have flea and buy op aqua key

[inland hound]

im lvl 14 but i have only quests that require keys or pistol kills on pmcs and that aint happening anytime soon

[fast wadi]

both should be aquirable with a barter from therapist

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Dorm_room_206_key
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Tarcone_Director's_office_key

[inland hound]

i know ive been looking for the items but ive been out of luck. Tried woods for the compound with the med tents and ration crates and cant find what i need for the barters so i was hoping someone just had them and didnt need them anymore

[fast wadi]

warehouse 4 basement has a decent med spawns (customs)

[pure marsh]

You can also join different customs VCs and ask if anyone can help you out

[unkempt cypress]

I love the woods military camp on the south side of the mad for med spawns

[inland hound]

yea thats where i keep checking but ill check customs as well for that

[unkempt cypress]

I was thinking of going there my first raid next wipe to get the salewas since you always find like 2-4 of them

[inland hound]

whenever i actually need items i can never find them. and for the salewas i could not find them till lvl 13 even in the camp only afaks and ifaks i was finding

[unkempt cypress]

yeah I got it around taht time too. Honestly I think the most consistent strat is to always craft

[pure marsh]

I couldn't find an iskra until I hit level 22 lmao. It's the tarkov way

[inland hound]

yea only thing for me is i cant craft med supplies i think thats lvl 2 medstation in hideout

[fast wadi]

crackhouse to fortress to old gas to warehouse 4 basement

it a hot path but has a lot of med spawns

[terse aspen]

I know the game almost just wiped, but when are we expecting another one? Im new to the game and just curious 🙂

[unkempt cypress]

There are guarenteed iskra spawns as an fyi

I know a few weapon boxes on the emercon side of interchange has them as an example

[unkempt cypress]

This is my first wipe, but my buddy says usually 6 months, but I think he also said the did a year long one once or twice

[fast wadi]

not for the next 7 months

[terse aspen]

okay 👍

[pure marsh]

Oh yeah ik. I'm not a big quest guy, I just play and loot for xp. I got to level 45 in 300 raids two wipes ago. It's just whenever you need something it's never there

[terse aspen]

i just found an iskra the other day. Im level 8

i found it in crackhouse on customs

[unkempt cypress]

I think the quests is what keeps me coming back tbh

Every game I play I try to do my best and plan and see how efficient and fast I can do things

That also means I restart a lot of games lol

This game actually reminds me of stardew valley in how there is always something to upgrade or do. Also the tarkov menu music sounds like one of the mining music in stardew

[pure marsh]

I honestly hate the quests. I wish there were better goals to shoot for instead of just doing them for level 4 traders

[waxen scarab]

First comparison i've heard to stardew but yeah, i guess i can see it

[unkempt cypress]

gj did you do the jaegar quest to stash them on woods

[unkempt cypress]

dude that music is literally the same

[waxen scarab]

can't think of what mining music you're referring to

[unkempt cypress]

The ice castle level I think

[terse aspen]

no haha. But i think i sold it to therapist

[frail anvil]

I did iskra thing by level 7

[unkempt cypress]

you will find a lot more of them :p

[terse aspen]

that was what i thought

[unkempt cypress]

but yeah, I feel like now after 300 hours if I restarted my PMC right now I could get to where I am at in like half the time

[frail anvil]

I couldnt find a stupid fir toz till midway through level 13

Can I craft iskra?

[unkempt cypress]

worst case you can craft them, just visit the grocery store on interchange to get all of the ingrediants in one run

[waxen scarab]

ye

[frail anvil]

When?

[unkempt cypress]

yep squash, 2 crackers, large beef stew

[unkempt cypress]

I think level 1 nutrition center, but let me check

[fast wadi]

yes

nutrition level 1

[frail anvil]

If its level one thats easy

Already got that

[fast wadi]

squash, small beef stew and two crackers

[unkempt cypress]

yep so just find those ingredients and you can craft

actually you are almost 15, so you could buy them and then craft

dont forget that those stash missions you need to stash each item one at a time.

that messed up my friend

[frail anvil]

Im not close to 15 yet

[fast wadi]

how much is missing?

[frail anvil]

I can buy water bottles

[unkempt cypress]

you will get there quick

[warm minnow]

Is it possible to stack any containers? im running outta stash space bc i have a lot of scopes and suppressors that I am tired of trying to sort. plus all this excess ammo (though ive started selling ps and lower pretty much)

[fast wadi]

do you have mags in your stash?

[warm minnow]

naw. i keep a couple 60-100 rnd mags in a mag case but thats it

all guns (like 5 of them) are stripped of mags and handles

yeah

[pure marsh]

Sell it all. Start fresh. Be a better you

[waxen scarab]

items case

[frail anvil]

Whole level

[warm minnow]

is items case therapist 3?

[fast wadi]

Use rigs

[waxen scarab]

think so yeah but that's what you need to stack containers

[warm minnow]

considering selling pretty much everyuthing but atm i have a lotta shit

[warm minnow]

question is which containers stack...

[frail anvil]

I could go and do the bunker quest on reserve

[fast wadi]

show me a screenshot

[warm minnow]

of my inventory?

[pure marsh]

I always sell stuff I'm not going to use in the next 3 raids, unless of course it's for a quest or hideout

[fast wadi]

ye

[warm minnow]

ok gimme a sec

gotta paste some together

[violet furnace]

me with thic weapon and weapon case full of weapons because " I will use them at some point "

[waxen scarab]

you never do 😭

[pure marsh]

That's was me a couple of wipes ago. I have reached nirvana

I had a thicc case just for KS-23s

[misty ginkgo]

lololoololol

[waxen scarab]

disgusting, i approve

[misty ginkgo]

You're a chad!

[violet furnace]

i mean i have 5 black MDR, which r very expensive, 2 mk18, 4 p90, some very good ak both 5.45 and 7.62 and some SR

[misty ginkgo]

Ks-23m is meta

[misty ginkgo]

Use that shit bro. You can literally slay with that

[fast wadi]

last wipe I had a thicc case just for scav vests filled with toz

[violet furnace]

i use that

[misty ginkgo]

You're a chad aswell

[violet furnace]

but u know, 180k for mdr still hurts if u lost tho

p90 my dad uses

[pure marsh]

That it is. I enjoy spending less than nothing to steal peoples 500k kits

[violet furnace]

and SR if i go woods

[smoky moth]

while im wasting 25k every raid in factory

[misty ginkgo]

Bro...

This is unbelievable.
That's my dream!

[smoky moth]

i did like 15 runs of factory alr

[violet furnace]

i used one pistol and got 300k from 7 raids on factory

[smoky moth]

wtf

insane luck

while i get shot through the stairs by a scav

[violet furnace]

just killed some scavs, took bags, looted safe

[fast wadi]

300k per raid, or in all 7 raids?

[pure marsh]

Now with the double barrel I can spend 10k and profit millions in two shots

[misty ginkgo]

I just meet tagilla... 😦

[violet furnace]

all 7 raids

but only pistol campng near celllars to extract

[smoky moth]

i wasted all my ammo on tagilla LMAO

thank god i killed a scav near him and took the scav's gun and shot him down

[violet furnace]

my friend has now 617 igolnik from tagila

[fast wadi]

I see, I did a factory run, got 500k

and a fraud cannon

[gloomy sphinx]

so i have a problem. want to build a scav case in hideout, but it always takes the one from stash that is full of loot inside... any way i can designate the empty one? fortunately games is broken and i receive error if i go to inventory too fast after selecting build, so the build progress resets due to error xD

[misty ginkgo]

I once had a clip of me using all my ammo on tagillas legs. Killing him on the last bullet, then some other hatchling one shot headshot me right when he is dead.

I was so sad

[fast wadi]

you gotta try them randomly, no way to designate the empty one sadly

[smoky moth]

you did well

just the awful timing of that guy coming

[pure marsh]

Is igolnik even worth keeping this wipe? Class 4 is the meta lmao

[gloomy sphinx]

wtf that sucks so much

i gotta unload them all then which is impossible...

[fast wadi]

it should show them in the sequency how you bought them

[smoky moth]

how did you take a wide screenshot

wtf

[warm minnow]

no that is a lot of ss copypasted together

5 to be exact

i have eod and still space issues

guys am i a dirty fucking hoarder?

T__T

[simple flower]

Yes

110%

[smoky moth]

buy more of that item case

[simple flower]

Dirty little shitrat hoarder

[warm minnow]

lucky scav?

[waxen scarab]

i know a guy who takes a db to lighthouse to farm rogues

[swift warren]

Sell all weapons that you wont be using + check what items are used for quest (rest sell) + only try to save meds from raids, big ticket items for h/o and that’s all.

[smoky moth]

no, lucky scav junkboxes are obsolete once you got 2 in your stash

[pure marsh]

It's OP man. Just in the right hands

[waxen scarab]

I'm more of a revolver shotgun kinda guy

[smoky moth]

you keep 2, one for quest related / important stuff, one for barter items you will sell

[warm minnow]

sell ammo and all attachments and shit?

i have some cleaning to do

[hazy veldt]

@warm minnow, MPPV instead of Azimuts, inside Takedowns

[swift warren]

Get 2 ammo boxes and save ONLY good ammo

[hazy veldt]

21 into 48 on a budget

[swift warren]

As for attachments, I mostly leave suppressors + handles + sights rest sell to mechanic/flee

[warm minnow]

so sell all that 9mm ammo XD

[hazy veldt]

pillboxes for god-tier armor rig + gun

M2 is just obscene.

[swift warren]

Will you be using 9mm guns? If no sell

[hazy veldt]

(on a budget)

[waxen scarab]

pillboxes are only good for stash because if i ever see one in raid i'm yoinking it. free 4 slots of space

[swift warren]

Or mma 1 for the sewing kit and fleece

[hazy veldt]

yes ofc

[warm minnow]

only ammo that can pen 3+ im guessing? or like hp rounds too

[swift warren]

4+

[smoky moth]

i really dont care about stash stacking and saving slots lul

[violet furnace]

only that can pen 4 easily and 5 with little difficulty on bigger calibers, on smaller 3 easily

[smoky moth]

i sell anything that i will never use in my entire lifetime

[hazy veldt]

MMAC is ok, but no stomach makes me iffy.

[waxen scarab]

half of my stash is rigs and shit i'm saving to give to ragman eventually lol

[swift warren]

Or high flesh dmg. Yet would only leave for pps and smgs/shoties

[vale sky]

I wish I chose bear smh

[warm minnow]

so like only bp and up?

[violet furnace]

most of taht ammo u can buy, and u will probably go only factory with them, so do u really need it?

[swift warren]

Lol usec > bear because of lighthouse

[hazy veldt]

also 14 slots on mmac vs M2 18, + MMAC can be hoovered up more easily if you get killed, while M2's 4x4 discourages people 😄

[swift warren]

Not all yet most of them at his lvl

[smoky moth]

mine is rigs, armors, ammo box, med crates and keys, i never kept any weapons, even if they are flea market banned

[fast wadi]

6b3tm can be thrown away

[vale sky]

They got better clothes all I’m sayin

[pure marsh]

Facts

[swift warren]

Tru

[waxen scarab]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/926329478605602886/931818255209889792/unknown.png?width=345&height=676

[pure marsh]

I get to die in style

[hazy veldt]

6B3TM has only 12 slots tho 😦

and at 55k it's like, add 10-20k and you get an M2.

[fast wadi]

it has 12 slots, uses 12 slots

[hazy veldt]

M2 is really undervalued in price for some reason.

[violet furnace]

try using:
"i have that gun. Can i go map i go mostly with that gun?" no -> sell. Yes -> "Do i go in open or closed area?" closed -> not bolt action, probably not semi auto ( at least not the slower one ) Open -> maybe some DMR or AR with better range.

[swift warren]

Get a cheatsheet of the ammo. Look at it (I prefer either the wiki or https://eft-ammo.com/nofoodaftermidnight )

[warm minnow]

okay. sweet thanks guys. guess i better start cleaning

[violet furnace]

very simple, can remove so much from ur stash, that u wont probably use

[warm minnow]

yeah i been using this

[pure marsh]

Or BattleBuddy for your phone

[waxen scarab]

I prefer this chart but, personal preference https://eft.monster/

[pure marsh]

And tarkov guru for best crafting

[hazy veldt]

I mean don't get me wrong, for ultimate budget ratrig is better, but M2 for me almost always comes back.

[waxen scarab]

https://tarkov.guru/hideout-profit/

[hazy veldt]

also the ergo penalty on ratrig is nasty

[fast wadi]

I mean for stash purposes from @warm minnow

[swift warren]

And another thing is, try your best to have everything that you’re using out of the backpacks (beside meds / food/weapon mods that should be in containers)

[vale sky]

The sandstone is the best usec jacket imo

[waxen scarab]

i like the hoodie

[hazy veldt]

ahh, my bad.

[vale sky]

Which one

[warm minnow]

trust me whatever is at the bottom of my backpack pit of despair has not seen the light of day since day 1 likely

[fast wadi]

In general I like 6b3tm for running, but as a stash extender it's not working

[waxen scarab]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Special:FilePath/USEC_VEKTOR_view.png

[swift warren]

Then sell it 😂

[warm minnow]

i think i had it for the armor potentially

[fast wadi]

scavbackpacks, berkuts and daypacks can be sold without regret if not used

[vale sky]

Yeah that one is pretty good

[fast wadi]

net neutral in space

[swift warren]

Yet being honest I’m a hoarder too so yea 😅

[violet furnace]

Btw, what backpack do u stash instide of other ones?

[waxen scarab]

I think i probably have about 40 backpacks

[oblique ruin]

Same i just stack scav bps,berkut bags and day bags also some mbss bags got like 30-40 stacked

[oblique ruin]

Probably even more havent counted but it takes hella long to get to the last bag

[violet furnace]

but what bags? tri zpi and bigger or berkut?

[waxen scarab]

berkut is the smallest i'll keep

[fast wadi]

you shouldn't keep berkuts

[waxen scarab]

why

[smoky moth]

what are the cheapest full auto guns i can buy on flea?

[violet furnace]

I think u should keep up to 4 berkuts etc, and u can more of bigger, bc they cost a lot more

[warm minnow]

okay so it was 28 f1 nades :p

[violet furnace]

yea, until i got nade case i have 2 berkuts full of nades, and one MPPV

[warm minnow]

mppv w nades + 4 outside in the bottom of my berkut/scavbp marypoppins bag of bags

[violet furnace]

now i barely have any for raid

[warm minnow]

i have 27 stacked daypack/berkut/scavbp in that pile. wtf guys how did it get this bad

[fast wadi]

since they don't save space, stuff you pack in the last daisy pack can be forgotten or lost to the ages

[waxen scarab]

I never put anything in backpacks other than other backpacks lol

[fast wadi]

liquid cash takes less space then backpacks

[waxen scarab]

i always bring a backpack wherever i go 😄

[fast wadi]

I do too, but I prefer my berkuts in the insurance inventory than my main inventory

[mint hawk]

Same.. but now I have that inside of a bunch of trizip which is also in side a bunch of attack2

[hazy veldt]

belt rigs, you can get rid of, they vendor for flee price, so if you need one for raid, you can buy a new one.

6B3tm as said, can be sold / run factory or something with them.

Alpha rig can be sold on flee for profit, not a great rig (unless you want to run 40-45 round bananas early, then it's the only option, but you can rebuy it later).

Replace CR MK2 / Blackrock / Azimuts with MPPVs (for storage), inside takedowns imho.
For 3x3 alternative, LBT-1961A also good alternative to MPPV (but inside Takedowns MPPVs are better density).

Sell scav bps on flee imho, they go for 18k and you can buy a berkut/daypack for same price pretty much.

Umka you can vendor, for 'budget' rig if you need one, you can get a tarzan for 8-10k (hunting matches barter).

Mechanisms are actually nice for Helmet/headphone + Pillbox with Rig&gun setups.

[hazy veldt]

I know that feel, I usually sell any that are FIR on flee

[fast wadi]

umka better than tarzan imo

[hazy veldt]

yes but umka costs more

for runs where you need a trash rig, tarzan is almost impossible to beat

[fast wadi]

bankrobber

kek

[hazy veldt]

10k

hunting matches are 8k right now.

and tarzan has more slots.

[warm minnow]

should i be buying these takedowns/mmpv on flea on just trying to get them through other means?
what do i do with the contents of my rigs xD none of those are empty

[fast wadi]

depends on what is in them

most of the stuff you can sell

[hazy veldt]

you can use sorting table to organize stuff, but yes I bought all but one takedown and like 3 mppvs on flea

[warm minnow]

its mostly ammo or attachments

[fast wadi]

sell em

[hazy veldt]

ammo boxes are good value

[warm minnow]

occassionally i have sugar or choccy in em

[hazy veldt]

attachments are generally not useful to keep, since there's almost always only a few 'top-tier' options that are cheaper than most anyway.

[rotund sand]

Draken, you are just a better version of me: 4 scav boxes instead of 3 and has flea unlocked

[warm minnow]

kek or am i worse version... T___T

[fast wadi]

what do you have in your mechanism packs

[rotund sand]

why not both

[warm minnow]

\

[rotund sand]

I realized I played too little PMC and too much scav

[fast wadi]

EWWWW

[hazy veldt]

also for scav boxes, I recommend having 1-2 for Quests/later Crafting or Hideout upgrade items and then 1 that you throw all the trash you get in a raid for later organizing 😄

[rotund sand]

since then I have been playing too little period

[warm minnow]

ahhh yes we are the same xD

[warm minnow]

uh oh

[fast wadi]

get rid of those slocks if you aren't using them

[hazy veldt]

plague mask is vendor item

[warm minnow]

lolololol ok ok

tbf i just put that plague mask in there

[fast wadi]

sell the zsh on the flea

[violet furnace]

one for valuables like btc, gp coins and bartering items, and one for quest items and for items to daily

[rotund sand]

how does one learn map flow in this game

[fast wadi]

by dying a lot

[haughty pollen]

Where can I get weapon scopes and sights.. the iron sights are not ideal

[oblique ruin]

Why keep the plague mask

[oblique ruin]

Flea and prapor

[warm minnow]

bc i didn't know if i should sell or not and i got it like 2 raid ago

[oblique ruin]

What gun u tryna get a scope for

[haughty pollen]

Thanks

[oblique ruin]

Oh and Jaeger

[rotund sand]

thanks. been asking the same question since 2018 and I always get kind souls to answer. community is nice

[haughty pollen]

Standard m4 that you get as fresh usec

[hazy veldt]

play with others, watch experienced streamers

[oblique ruin]

Ah

[olive oracle]

can other players hear that clicking noise when you open your inventory?

[mellow matrix]

yep

[rotund sand]

ah I watch streamers, but I guess I don't pick up much just watching, anyways

[mellow matrix]

when you aim, open inventory, quickly turn on the spot even

[warm minnow]

ok well ill clean this inthe morning...errr later today i guess. thanks guys for the advice. im sure ill be back. 😅 next ill show my suppressor collection hehehehe

[fast wadi]

kek

[fast wadi]

if you don't play, you don't die, if you don't die you don't think about what you could have done different to not die

[warm minnow]

i probably have equal suppressors : scopes : water filters

i have a lot of water filters too

[fast wadi]

if you don't think about what you could have done different to not die you don't learn from mistakes

[hazy veldt]

x-47 is good for storage

[rotund sand]

hm

[waxen scarab]

Never really looked but wow living high is not a crime kinda sucks, those rewards aint worth it

[rotund sand]

yeah that's something I lack in any game, honestly

[warm minnow]

.03+ rep??? thats what x3 the normal increase!?

[fast wadi]

yesterday I learned that throwing grenades vertically is a bad idea, and that if you go into close combat, maybe activate full auto instead of singe fire

[warm minnow]

sheesh

[robust robin]

Probably juat for standard players to gain rep

[waxen scarab]

by the time you get to this quest his rep is already high enough for lvl 4 even standard

[hazy veldt]

required for kappa + part 2 is a bit better.

also the xp.

[robust robin]

Idk go tell nikita

[warm minnow]

but what are those turn ins thats stupid

[warm minnow]

not req for kappa? cya

[rotund sand]

the only lesson I learned so far is maybe to not use SKS at all

[hazy veldt]

oh, weird

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Living_High_is_Not_a_Crime_-_Part_2

why isn't it linked

[waxen scarab]

sks is sick

[warm minnow]

i love opsks

[ruby bane]

I have a fir secure flash drive but it won't let me hand it in to skier is the task bugged or something?

[waxen scarab]

yeah that's weird

[hazy veldt]

Why SKS?

[robust robin]

You dont need to do 1 to unlock 2

[brittle canyon]

sksuck

[hazy veldt]

When 7.62 AK is as cheaply available?

[fast wadi]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Collector says it need that quest

kek

[hazy veldt]

better reloads, better mags?

better recoil?

[fast wadi]

nvm

[waxen scarab]

I already have all the stuff fir i need for both of em but meh

[warm minnow]

ahhhh its a lieeee

[fast wadi]

I am shit at reading

they are NOT

[brittle canyon]

the only advantage of the sks is that u can reload from loose ammo so you don’t need a rig

[waxen scarab]

top loading is good for poors

[fast wadi]

required

[brittle canyon]

but come on you always have a rig

[warm minnow]

what is considered por

[hazy veldt]

but ak mag is like 2k rubles?

[rotund sand]

SKS might be good if you are landing your bullets, but it doesn't work for me

[brittle canyon]

any gun is good if you’re landing your bullets

[waxen scarab]

it's good for the "Have to wear scav vest" kinda shit

[hazy veldt]

mmm I mean, if you ratrun, with toploading, it's good.

I can see that I guess...

[brittle canyon]

u have a rat rig for a rat run

[warm minnow]

ahh idk how much it affects but weapon dura apparently screws with accuracy

[brittle canyon]

3 mags

[hazy veldt]

buy hunting matches, barter for tarzan

cheaper/same price as scav vest

[waxen scarab]

punisher

[robust robin]

Probably talking about punisher 4 and setup

[waxen scarab]

^

[warm minnow]

base sks (not op) has moa of 1.72 so pretty good for most distances at max dura

[waxen scarab]

I've already one both but i used sks for em

[rotund sand]

ah right. haven't really got any low durability yet, but seems to matter

[waxen scarab]

I always take scav vests for free FIR ripstop

[rotund sand]

which gun is that

[brittle canyon]

vepr

[warm minnow]

sometimes when i die i see 48 rnds fired 3 hits T----T

[waxen scarab]

ak-74m is super cheap in workbench

[hazy veldt]

AKM, AK-103, (VEPR-KM)

[brittle canyon]

or akm… 3 tushonka barter

[warm minnow]

like idek

[brittle canyon]

or 74n craft

^ this is the correct play

[waxen scarab]

I need ripstop for textile

[rotund sand]

guess I could try VEPR

[hazy veldt]

I don't see a point in VEPR-KM if you have flee unlocked

[waxen scarab]

turn in 10 FIR ripstop

[brittle canyon]

sell vest, and buy it via snickers barter from jaeg, use that to craft ripstop

[rotund sand]

yeah I don't have flea

[waxen scarab]

big brain

[hazy veldt]

it's 30k, for 30-40k you can get AKM variant or AK-103.

[topaz violet]

hey guys, i think my discord is bugged, is there any channel where i can see beginner loadouts/setups? I can't search on the top right

[brittle canyon]

more like average brain, and the idiots who don’t use barters are missing out big time

[valid storm]

VPO is so big brained

[waxen scarab]

imagine bartering

[brittle canyon]

imagine paying 100k for a gunsmith part instead of bartering a milk for it

[valid storm]

Melk big brained

[misty ginkgo]

Some websites have a gunsmith section. Tarkov-market has

[topaz violet]

@misty ginkgo appreciate it!

[waxen scarab]

which part is this? I can't remember

[brittle canyon]

stupid tax

[misty ginkgo]

VAL i think

[brittle canyon]

vss/asval ar15 stock adaptor

[waxen scarab]

this is why you let the flea market show you barters

[robust robin]

Did they take vss off flea

[brittle canyon]

oh and the gunpart+wd40 barter for the gunsmith m1a mount

[warm minnow]

do ppl actually look for 100/100 weapons when searching flea? like if im tryna flea FIR sv98 do i bother doing lowest overall or just lowest 100dura?

[topaz violet]

i dont have much to speak on but i killed someone with a VSS and that thing is amazing for me close range on factory

i hope to use it for a while

[robust robin]

It doesnt matter for fishing gear

[waxen scarab]

i have it set to only show 99% durability and above

[brittle canyon]

it’s sorted 100% by default I think

and it’s a sniper

[hazy veldt]

not for guns

[brittle canyon]

of course people want the best dura

if it was a shotgun or something you’d have more of a chance

[robust robin]

Sv98 just isnt good to buy off flea because fishing gear so most people would ratger unlock it on trader, or use mosin

[hazy veldt]

I put 95%, but usually get a 100% one, if it's not too much different in price.

[warm minnow]

fishing gear?

[hazy veldt]

it's a quest

you need to hide a sv-98 in a boat

[warm minnow]

ahhhh

[hazy veldt]

so that drives prices up

[robust robin]

Not this time in wipe

Maybe a couple weeks ago they were like 90k a piece

[waxen scarab]

if you see a random item going for a fuckton it's for a quest

like that shotgun choke

cottage back door 😩

[warm minnow]

rbsmp?

[waxen scarab]

was a million a couple days ago

a quest

[dire rock]

quest key

[waxen scarab]

and 2 safes tbh

[warm minnow]

@_@ sheesh maybe i should sell the one i found

[topaz violet]

i just got the flea, is the VPO-136 still okay for me to use since im low on rubles?

[waxen scarab]

agreed

[misty ginkgo]

Everything is okay to use lolll

[warm minnow]

rb-smp

[robust robin]

I saw a clip of a guy whos scav had 2 rbst keys

[topaz violet]

oh okay good, cuz i really like it

[misty ginkgo]

If you want a good budget gun then run RFB with M80.

Put a cheap grip and sight on it.

[hazy veldt]

yes, but you can often find AKM(variants) or AK-103 or AK-104 for cheaper than VPO-136

[topaz violet]

i love the game aha

[warm minnow]

i have i just chilling with all my other actual trash keys

[frail anvil]

Thank god I have my sv98

[topaz violet]

ohhh okay thanks @hazy veldt

[hazy veldt]

like, last week I saw AK-103's for 30-35k at times (100% dur)

[topaz violet]

this game is so stressful to play solo but i love it

[robust robin]

Same feeling here man

[hazy veldt]

AKM can be cheaper depending on small tushonka prices, right now they're ~8-10k, so 24-30k for that

[warm minnow]

i just need to pmc more so i can build up my skills and bunker

[topaz violet]

i never used an ak-103 or a AKM but they look very nice

[warm minnow]

its stressful the few times i play w friends too XD

[robust robin]

Doing woods runs with a mosin and 5-7 just trying to do jager quests

[topaz violet]

@warm minnow i just hide in a corner with a shotgun

[dire rock]

put money into your hideout

[hazy veldt]

probably level blocked?

[warm minnow]

more stressful bc they just sprint all over and shoot literally anything they feel like

[dire rock]

i typically never have over a mil until my hideout is very high lvl

[warm minnow]

you know the da dun dun da dun DA DA! sound?

my friends do that shit all the time

[topaz violet]

hahahah

[rotund sand]

if I never played with my friend, I'd have 0 total kills this wipe, probably

[robust robin]

Many teamkills

[warm minnow]

been teamkilled many times by careless buddies

[rotund sand]

to be fair, we were trying to kill each other in a few situations

[dire rock]

happened to my team a lot in the beginning

[warm minnow]

lmao

[rotund sand]

and I happened to land my shots, unlike when I'm trying to hit other people

[warm minnow]

so you just need to adjust your mindset. everyone is your friend. everyone needs to die

[rotund sand]

lmao

[robust robin]

Bad communication of me saying " is anyone else in 3rd story" everyone says no then i detroy a guy and it turns out its a teammate

[rotund sand]

if only I could push everyone like I push my friend, I'd become a god

[robust robin]

Ha i love when that happens with smgs and you magdump your friend and hes just screaming its me its me its mee

[rotund sand]

but yeah, playing with my friend is actually not much of a help, since I learn nothing

[warm minnow]

i had friend tell me he was on my left when he was on my right. saw a guy come over a hill. Boom headshot. it was my friend.

[robust robin]

Getting scav kills in a 3 man takes 3x longer

Main reason i solo most the time

Yeah 3 is my maximum

[warm minnow]

i wanna five man at some point just for the stupid ass experience of it

like just once

[rotund sand]

I do have factory quests, five man would work

[lilac mountain]

Hey yall, new here how do you guys get a group together??

[frail anvil]

I 5 mand

[violet furnace]

what time is it where u live?

[frail anvil]

Its dumb

[violet furnace]

like now

[topaz violet]

if im playing solo i play on factory because of the lower amount of players, are there any other maps you guys recommend? i have played customs a few times but its so hectic

[warm minnow]

west coast best coast?

[violet furnace]

ohi though u wanted to get up to be at 12;30 mb

yes, i am stupid

[warm minnow]

gn

[rotund sand]

customs, if I spawn at ZB side, I can never escape from that area. and if I die big red side, I die super fast

[warm minnow]

i too must sleep

[rotund sand]

was going to say *spawn big red. freudian slip

[warm minnow]

i don't always die, but when i do...its always the most pitiful shit ive ever seen

[topaz violet]

just got a 103 and put a nice red dot on it gonna try it out

[austere hound]

Uh

[warm minnow]

actually had a ninja sneak up and say "surprise mf" once before blowing the back of my head off

[frail anvil]

Pos1 on ak lol

[austere hound]

If you disconnect twice does the game kill you?

[frail anvil]

No

[austere hound]

Wtf

[frail anvil]

It wont "kill" you unless the timer goes out

Then you have mia status

[rotund sand]

died "camping" the door extract on reserve some wipes ago, probably my worst ever

[austere hound]

Timer def didn't go out. My internet went down mid raid, so I tried troubleshooting for a while, gave up & tethered to finish it. Internet came back up, so I exited & switched, came back and I was dead.

[frail anvil]

You were killed by someone then

[robust robin]

You were probably running on a spot so easy to find

[austere hound]

I was standing when I first disconnected & lived for 10m just fine

[tough oyster]

im sitting in a random bush in shoreline and some pmc walked by me coughing and dropped

im not sure if hes dead or not

[austere hound]

Left for 1m prone in a bush & died?

[tough oyster]

he came up from behind to my left

[topaz violet]

um my head is blacked out 0/35 shouldnt i be dead

[tough oyster]

pretty sure hes still behind me somewhere, i heard 1 footstep after that

[rotund sand]

he was talking about something else, funny as it might sound, perfectly fit in with your situation

[austere hound]

Lol true

[frail anvil]

Are you on painkillers?

[topaz violet]

no

i am now but not when i got shot

[robust robin]

Your thorax and head can be blacked from bleeding, if you get shot on another blacked limb youre dead

[topaz violet]

i see

I cant cms it right

[robust robin]

Nah was gonna say that

[topaz violet]

dang i need to get out

[robust robin]

Asap

[clever harbor]

So... the last thing I learned from here.. is upgrade hideout with everything I have...

[frail anvil]

Only your head is blacked?

[topaz violet]

yeah

[clever harbor]

I'm now lv 31 and my hideout is mostly all upgraded... but now I have 7 scav junk box full...

But idk what items to keep or not keep

[topaz violet]

i took painkillers but it was this before i took the painkillers

[frail anvil]

Extract fast as possible

[clever harbor]

Meaning if you take 1 dmg anywhere you die instantly

[topaz violet]

i just got out

whew

[frail anvil]

If you get shot in head one more time youre dead

[clever harbor]

Even if you fall just a little bit and take damage

You die...

I learned that the hard way lol

[strong pewter]

Someone very briefly explain what ergonomics are

[clever harbor]

Err

ads

[frail anvil]

How good the gun feels while weilding

[clever harbor]

Ergo is basically how fast you can ads

Or that's what I've seen so far

[strong pewter]

I have this key but never use it

[strong pewter]

Okay

[clever harbor]

How fast you can ads, how slow it takes to scope in or out, and stamina on ads'ing

[waxen scarab]

it's a decent key

[strong pewter]

What if the gun is super super strong but has 0 ergo

Is it worth it

[clever harbor]

Depends tbh

[waxen scarab]

also how much your aim strays from the middle whilel turning

[strong pewter]

Inform one on the map this key has a use in

[strong pewter]

So like it swings a lot

[clever harbor]

That means your ergo is pretty low

[hazy veldt]

If you use backup mount, then 0 ergo doesn't matter

[waxen scarab]

like if you're ADS'ing it'll take a sec to recenter after turning if low ergo

[strong pewter]

Ohh

That makes sense

[dire monolith]

If you ads can you still dnc if you have a scope?

[strong pewter]

Cool. Thanks guys

[rotund sand]

just want to get level 14 so that I can run UMPs or something

[tough oyster]

im playing shoreline at night and it seems pretty damn bright, then all of a sudden it just turned dark?

[clever harbor]

Depending on the time

That you go in

It can remain pretty bright for like half the raid

Then as it becomes later, the dark takes over lol

[smoky moth]

how do i remove this thingy
