[viscid spire]

You're better off learning the basics solo tbh

Lots of trial and error in the beginning, at least for me there has been

[dim wadi]

i tried to solo like 4 different times into a raid and just scream help so someone could teach me how to play lmao

[viscid spire]

Watch streamers, watch tutorial videos, play around in offline mode, pick a map and learn it

Thats my advice as someone who started like 2 weeks ago

[digital badge]

^ Pestily has some amazing guides on youtube for every map that I used a lot when I was first starting

[viscid spire]

Yep, Pestily has a lot of good stuff I used his map guides too

[dim wadi]

im usually just raiding customs and only customs

should i try the other places and shi

[viscid spire]

Thats good, focusing on one map is good

[serene reef]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHpNdZhY0TU

[digital badge]

thats fine most people learn 1 map at a time

[dim wadi]

ard bet

[viscid spire]

customs is an important map since lots of noob quests are there, but it can also be tough because it has a lot of geared players

but its a solid choice as first map to learn

[dim wadi]

bet bet

[serene reef]

customs SUCK ASS

too many choke points

its not a map for new players that for sure

even lighthouse i believe would be easier

for new players

[viscid spire]

Well you kind of have to go there as a new player if you wanna do quests, which is the easiest way to progress

[digital badge]

its definitely a map for new players lol thats where the majority of early tasks are

[serene reef]

the only reason literally

[digital badge]

also lighthouse is not easier than customs by any means

cmon now

[serene reef]

its forced to be one

but it's not by any way a beginner friendly map

[digital badge]

not really sure where youre getting the idea that it isnt but to each their own I guess

[dim wadi]

what are quests

[viscid spire]

Woods was the first map I learned, its confusing at the beginning but its easy to avoid players

[digital badge]

tasks

[dim wadi]

where can i go to do them

[serene reef]

from over 500 houes on customs

[tame shard]

yo, so if i was to buy everything i need for a bitcoin farm from the flea right now + 1 or 2 gpus for ~500k how long would it take to make that money back?

[serene reef]

and having learned that map IN AND OUT

[digital badge]

when you go to traders the ones that have a green mark on them mean they have a task for you, you can grab it on their task menu and then view your tasks in your own task menu

[indigo badge]

What would you say is the best lv1 trader gun setup?

[dim wadi]

okay thanks

[digital badge]

and then when you get them done you can turn them in at the trader that gave it to you

[quiet kraken]

i like it better

[strong pewter]

this ammo is so expensive 😭

[serene reef]

i still remb how early wipe

when noone knew how to play w/ inertia

[balmy peak]

is there any other sight I can use apart from vudu for gunsmith part 6

[strong pewter]

hjad to pay nearly 800 rubles for each round

[serene reef]

because of the recoil buff

people were mostly using mp5s

[terse galleon]

red rebel for merin key worth?

[quiet kraken]

any recommendations?

[cobalt sluice]

Whats inertia

[digital badge]

you have the key or you have the rr?

[violet furnace]

To long. Only at 10+ cards if u Craft in meantime it's worth

[cobalt sluice]

i dont understand the meaning of inertia

[terse galleon]

i have the key @digital badge

[digital badge]

eh maybe idk

[dusky geyser]

acceleration and slow-down in movement

[cobalt sluice]

this orange juice makin me oh lawd

[digital badge]

you could just do the barter for the rr for like 1.5-2 mil

[cobalt sluice]

ty

[violet furnace]

More u weight more u take to stop, accelerate, u can't peak corners same

[cobalt sluice]

tyty

[dusky geyser]

basically """realistic""" movement

[terse galleon]

yeah true

[lean zephyr]

depends on the map
woods? op sks with a shitty dovetail reflex sight from prapor 1 or a pso scope if you manage to find one
customs, interchange, or any of the other variable maps? can't go wrong with an AK/AR
Factory? MP5K or some other cheapo SMG. stay away from the ppsh tho

[serene reef]

remb it has to be FiR

if you want to trade eg your RR for their merin

their merin AND your RR need to be FiR

[digital badge]

he has the key not the rr

[vagrant cargo]

I’d keep the merin

You unlock the barter pretty quick

[violet furnace]

But ppsh is russian technology. It can't jam, overheat, just put in some leg ammo and go fuck those Timmys

[indigo badge]

leg ammo?

[dusky geyser]

Buy black handle knives (if you don't loot them from scavs) and exchange 7 of them for the UMP

[lean zephyr]

if you're fighting scavs? sure
if you're fighting PMCs? they'll head or thorax tap you before you can leg meta them to death

[violet furnace]

Ammo that deal more flesh dmg

[serene reef]

at the cost of penetration and price

[violet furnace]

It's 1k rpm, good for playing for fun

[indigo badge]

Is rushing dorms if I spawned shipping container yard on customs a death sentence? Also can more than one person complete the same task obj in the same raid?

[violet furnace]

Yes, more than one csn

And rushing dorms depends. Is it time when many ppl do tasks? If yes then maybe, but now many ppl just don't go there, w/o marked it's pretty bad, and risky

[dusky geyser]

for my servers dorms are currently either completely empty and unlooted or a war-zone until 5min left in the raid

[stark fable]

hey im coming back to the game after a long time anyone willing to help me re learn the game

[indigo badge]

Welp TIL IFAC only stops bleeds above a certain durability rip

[errant dagger]

I've tried to ask people myself seems like no one cares

[bold kernel]

Anyone wanna play tarkov im new tho

[digital badge]

if you guys are looking to play with people you should go to #pvp-lfg

[bold kernel]

Anyone down for some woods runs? I can help

[digital badge]

thats where most of the people group up

not here

[maiden steppe]

NAW looking for customs quest runs

[solar crown]

yo what does ergonomics do?

[digital badge]

how fast you can ADS, volume of ADS, stamina drain while ADS

[solar crown]

ok thank you

[digital badge]

higher is better ofc

[solar crown]

ye

[unique shell]

is a labs access card good? its all white

[unique steeple]

u need it to get into labs

[digital badge]

it lets you get into the labs map and is consumed on use

[unique steeple]

and u need 2 for quest

[unique shell]

so if i didnt have it i couldnt go to labs?

[unique steeple]

no

[unique shell]

aw man

luckily the scav i had spawned with one on him

[serene reef]

how fast can you run

[digital badge]

?

run speed depends on strength skill

[fading quest]

can someone buy me a 60 round ak mag

[unique shell]

how would they give it to you

[fading quest]

drop it in raid?

[unique shell]

oh ok

[unique steeple]

its not allowed here

[fading quest]

ah ok

[cobalt sluice]

Can someone help me with a quest

bunker part 2

i cant stop fucking dying

lmao

[quiet kraken]

why do these not fit

because

im a dumbass

[cobalt sluice]

because

[quiet kraken]

i took off the gas block

[cobalt sluice]

tarkov

lmao

[bold kernel]

Jesus my game finally downloaded

[dusky geyser]

that yoinky sploinky

[prime sapphire]

lmfao

[quiet kraken]

what do i won't need any times soon? i need monay

[tough oyster]

how do i get tremor effect

[tough oyster]

https://tarkovtracker.io

[prime sapphire]

fracture, dehydration.

[vast plume]

v exits add fence rep not take it right?

[quiet kraken]

how do i use it

[tough oyster]

make an account and use it to manually track quests and items needed for quests/hideout

check the Needed Items tab

[bold kernel]

is there any gun that full autos 7.62x51 at pinpoint accuracy at 50 meters?

[tough oyster]

i dont think any gun can do that

[bold kernel]

i got hit in the face with m62 4 times in like a second

didnt stop the 5th unfortunately, was wearing maska

[unique steeple]

Clip?

[bold kernel]

or it could have been several people shooting

[prime sapphire]

Fal,

[proven rivet]

where do i get my gear that i insured after i die

[bold kernel]

ima increase shadowplay length so i have more time to save the replays, does it affect fps?

[prime sapphire]

Yes lol

[bold kernel]

oh

[alpine spire]

Looking for the best video teaching me the Customs map. I don't have a second monitor so it's hard to follow some of the ones that are trying to walk me through it.

[unique steeple]

Not the length

[prime sapphire]

Shadowplay fucks my frames. I can record my whole game on OBS and it effects my PC less than shadowplay does.

[bold kernel]

but the shadowplay itself does right? no matter how long then

[unique steeple]

Yes

[supple steppe]

hey my scav rep has gone to shit since santa any way to get it up easily?

[prime sapphire]

Just turning shitplay on drops my frames from 115 to 46

[bold kernel]

welp imght as well jsut set it at 5 minutes then

[unique steeple]

Use outplayed

[graceful marsh]

What just happened

[unique steeple]

It’s better

[river rampart]

You equipped them to PMC

Take a look

[graceful marsh]

Im in the insurance page though ?

[unique steeple]

Doesn’t matter

[graceful marsh]

I wasnt even pressing ctrl/alt

?

It shouldnt have snapped

[indigo kayak]

if i have a compass will i lose it if i die

[unique steeple]

Prolly a bug

[waxen scarab]

No

[unique steeple]

It’s happened to me before where I just click an item and it thinks Ctrl or Alr is being held diwn

[cobalt sluice]

Can someone help me do Bunker Part 2

[graceful marsh]

Yeah idk I just wanted to open it up to see if I could put the mags in my rig

and it just dipped

[unique steeple]

Good man

[waxen scarab]

Aw man i wish we could put other specials in that slot. Leatherman tool to modify guns in raid or rangefinder

[glossy gale]

Dying to traitor scavs is pretty annoying ngl

[waxen scarab]

Die a hero or live long enough to be the villain. I kill pscavs a decent amount

[cobalt sluice]

Oh yeah about traitors

Yesterday or 2 days ago i found a gas an after 2 days and over 12 interchange raids for the second one for the rapist

and i came across a dude who said that there are pmcs near extract and hes coming with me

"look at the insides of the stash"

(head, top of the head)

Shouldnt have told him i had NVG

[bold kernel]

yea he baited you hard. now you know though

[cobalt sluice]

i said that i found night vision in texho

[glossy gale]

I don’t see the point of just killing scavs as a scav most of the time

[waxen scarab]

I dont miss hunting for gas ana. I just ended up crafting mine lol

[cobalt sluice]

learnt me lesson

[bold kernel]

it was worth then

[cobalt sluice]

depends, seen a guy get a bitcoin

Boom in the head with a shotty

[glossy gale]

Yeah I mean if u see shit like that

[bold kernel]

i can think of so many reasons

[glossy gale]

Or maybe sometimes with a drop

[vagrant cargo]

i value my karma more than 250k

[graceful marsh]

I walked into the computer room on interchange with another scav, he didnt say anything so I just checked a toolbox and was gonna leave, as soon as I opened the bag he shot me

[waxen scarab]

I only did it if im rich and don't wanna risk it. Or if they look rich

[glossy gale]

But I was literally just spawned in, get sprayed down by a pscav lmao

[waxen scarab]

Yeah thats dumb lol

[vagrant cargo]

honestly who cares ab a bitcoin its whatever youll get way more high value items from high scav karma

[serene reef]

on lighthouse timer starts at 40

but it's not out of question to spawn at 36ish

literally

[vagrant cargo]

the worst thing is when they ambush you and u know its coming but shooting first gets your karma down

[glossy gale]

Yeah

[serene reef]

let them take the karma L

[glossy gale]

It’s fucked lmao, you gotta wait till they shoot you

I’m just tryna get a bit of money and leave

[waxen scarab]

I take car extracts so often i don't really notice a dip in my karma. Its steadily going up

[bold kernel]

use it to work on your snake runnin and laugh as they take the karma hit

[vagrant cargo]

diminishing returns doe

[serene reef]

@open hedge DAD I DID IT

[vagrant cargo]

dad

[bold kernel]

nice

[waxen scarab]

Still steadily going up and im a bad scav about 30% of the time lol

[glossy gale]

What’s so good about higher scav karma though. Im at 2.1 rn and barely notice a difference

[serene reef]

loot

last wipe i was at 6

[waxen scarab]

Scav with a full pilgram at interchange barely escapees with his life because my 153 hammered after first shot

[serene reef]

i got 1.5mil in 15 minutes

[quaint onyx]

what didnt you have?

[glossy gale]

What??

[serene reef]

just running through on factory

[glossy gale]

Do you spawn in with good loot? That’s the difference?

[serene reef]

you could sell labs

• guns like sa58

t4 armors

[glossy gale]

Damn

[bold kernel]

is it better than shadowplay

[glossy gale]

Alr I’ll just keep working on it

[waxen scarab]

I've seen scavs spawn with thermal snipers

[serene reef]

literally would spawn in with sj6, 45k and labs

or stuff like that

i did my samples quest

through scavs

+its a super good system

when you're new to the game

you can spend all your money

and still have a way to make more

that doesnt make you cry too much

selling your precious stash

[serene reef]

neither at first xD

i started crafting a ledx just because

[glossy gale]

Aight I’ll continue working on it

[serene reef]

and i guided a friendo on IC

[waxen scarab]

Just remember you really should be pmc'ing as much as possible for the skill lvls lol

[serene reef]

in ultra i got the ophthalmo

[quaint onyx]

i think i have both now but i doubt i ever get to 35 this wipe

[serene reef]

i have a 3io of friends

they all have like 10+ mil

[tough oyster]

rip ammo or ap for glock 18c? gotta use something for factory

[vagrant cargo]

i love how people in this game would rather get my shitty gun than let me do my quest

[serene reef]

half of them isnt lvl 15

xDDD

[serene reef]

your tag is worth a lot

so is the exp you give

[vagrant cargo]

no its not

[waxen scarab]

Not g18. 17 would serve you better imo

[serene reef]

you're just no more than a starting level slime

so why not farm you

[graceful marsh]

free money

[serene reef]

free exp

no effort needed

so why not

[glossy gale]

alr and one more question just to make sure, these gun loadouts and pretty decent right? these are the 2 guns i usually mod and bring out

[bold kernel]

I have no idea what I’m doing KEKW

[exotic mantle]

Use silencer on ump

[waxen scarab]

Good enuff

[serene reef]

imo you should go for a muzzle break for rpk

[tough oyster]

why? just gunna go into office and go brrr

[serene reef]

and a silencer for ump if possible

[glossy gale]

You think? Im pretty sure the silencer on rpk makes the recoil a lot less

which muzzle break, ill check

[waxen scarab]

Have you tested the recoil on it? I can't hit shit lol

[tough oyster]

ya just gunna hip fire with a laser

[waxen scarab]

Jesus

[serene reef]

-9 vs -16%

[waxen scarab]

Good luck, id say rip lol

[quiet kraken]

whats goin on

[serene reef]

and ergo is higher too on the muzzle break

[glossy gale]

oh shit yeah

[exotic mantle]

U need to have the lantern dragon and the other one to

Lantec

[quiet kraken]

not letting me in raid smh

[serene reef]

wut?

[glossy gale]

alr ty, ill bring muzzle brakes out then for now on

[open hedge]

Just woke up somebody pinged me what happened

[serene reef]

DAD

I DID IT

[exotic mantle]

With the pws

[open hedge]

Oh nice

[serene reef]

this isnt the blast mitigation device?

what are you talking about?

[waxen scarab]

Lul i crafted mine

[glossy gale]

godamn

[tough oyster]

where did u find the op

[glossy gale]

is suppressor on ump that important? its so expensive lol

[exotic mantle]

I dunno name but u must add 2 other attachments on that muzzle brake

[waxen scarab]

Its ok

[glossy gale]

its like 50k per suppressor, with that type of money i could just bring out an rpk everytime

[open hedge]

Ump suppressor is fun but not even close to needed

[serene reef]

this is what you mean

wrong caliber

[somber kayak]

Hi guys, I'm new to the tarkov discord and don't really know the proper etiquette. I need some help doing this stupid beginner quest delivery from the past and I'm kind of sick of dying before getting to place it. A friend told me I can find people on this discord to help me out. My question is, how do you group with people? Should I just jump into a Factory LFG channel and ask for help? Get into an empty channel and wait for others to join?

[serene reef]

#pvp-lfg

you cna use one of the voice cahnnels

jump in

and post sometihng a kin to:

[bold kernel]

Okay so i died POGGIES

[serene reef]

Lf4 more for factory questing

and you can lick the channel by typing

<#x>

where x is the ID of the channel you're in

[astral gorge]

Where can i find scavs on customs?

[serene reef]

because for 4mans and etc invites are disabled

but for lfg factory you can rightclick invite

[quaint onyx]

almost everywhere

[serene reef]

to grab an id you need dev mode on

[serene reef]

along the road

[astral gorge]

I must be blind

i literally have found one in an hour

[glossy gale]

what is the difference in these? why does the 1st one cost 15k even though its 30 rounds, the 3rd one cost 2k for 30 rounds, and the middle one 10k for 45 rounds

[open hedge]

The looking for group chat usually has some nice people but if you really need some people you can always ask a Sherpa who (some more then others) like to help people

[quaint onyx]

fire you rgun they might come to investigate

[serene reef]

as long as it fits your gun

check the ergo, reload time

[waxen scarab]

They all sold by trader?

[glossy gale]

they're all on the linked search for my gun

[serene reef]

you gotta inspect them

[glossy gale]

alright

[bold kernel]

has no idea what’s happening or going on

[astral gorge]

cheers

[glossy gale]

ah okay, the 2k one has a faliure to feed chance which is higher, and slower reloading

Ima just go with the 2k ones lmao

[serene reef]

also scavs dont spawn until some time passed so

the longer you're on the raid

the more scavs you will meet

[astral gorge]

thats probably my issue

i usually loot for like 15mins and leave if i havent died

[vagrant cargo]

fake news

got killed by a pscav like 5 minutes in

he looted a reshala guard i killed

sprayed me full of bt

player scavs shouldnt be able to spawn 3 minutes into a raid tbh

[waxen scarab]

Late raid vs early raid scav spawns are nutts. Had 9 scavs in NE woods village march through a gate single file at 15 mins left lol

[waxen scarab]

I think they start spawning after the first pmc death. Not sure if true

[quiet kraken]

does it normally take 15 mins to sync with players?>

[ocean haven]

no

[quiet kraken]

whats wrong

[unique steeple]

ur game

[vagrant cargo]

thats dumb

he literally

[exotic mantle]

That’s complete cap

[vagrant cargo]

looted a guard i killed

and fucked me up with his good ammo

[vagrant cargo]

well a pscav killed me 5 minutes into the raid

[opaque goblet]

Does zb-12 open up twice within a raid?

[exotic mantle]

They can’t spawn 5 mins in

[vagrant cargo]

it literally fucking happened

[exotic mantle]

Or it’s really rare

[vagrant cargo]

he looted a reshala guard

picked up his gun

his armor

tanked a headshot and killed me

[exotic mantle]

I wouldn’t know cuz I don’t scav but I’ve never seen a -scav so early

[waxen scarab]

Oh ai scavs loot now btw

[exotic mantle]

It says report next to the name

If it’s a pscav

[waxen scarab]

Killed a pmc at shoreline pier, had a m700 that i took scope off of. 2 ai scavs spawned and came out of that building at me and lo and behold, in his 2nd slot was that m700 with just the rings

[hidden oxide]

is the soyuz STM-9 worth using over the RFB? I'm lvl 18

I got it as a scav and it was kinda cool but i dont wanna use it if its not very good lol

[waxen scarab]

Stm9 shoota a pistol bullet while rfb shoots high caliber sniper rounds lol

Both have their use

[hidden oxide]

D: so one is definetely better lol

[quiet kraken]

stm 9 shoots 9mm semi auto

[waxen scarab]

Just slightly lol

[exotic mantle]

STM bad rfb fine but not meta

[digital sable]

I see no reason to use the STM-9 other than you happen to have it laying around

[serene reef]

Hello tarkov this is your daily dose of memes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZsVN8T1o2k

[waxen scarab]

Always comes back from insurance and is good for scav hubting

[rotund sand]

whichever kind soul that told me they'd protect me and couldn't during repair quest, hope they don't feel bad xD

[glossy gale]

woo just scav pmc extracted with a guy

[digital sable]

Everything is good for scav hunting and all bad guns come back from insurance

[glossy gale]

nice guy

[vagrant cargo]

love when scavs decide to just head eyes me

[waxen scarab]

Most bad guns dont have 0 recoil tho

[digital sable]

That’s true, but among SMGs they all have pretty low recoil

[waxen scarab]

Not sure how much a stm9 costs compared to mp5

[digital sable]

I think STM-9 isn’t particularly budget

[vagrant cargo]

.it was pscav

pscav came in 5 minutes into the raid

looted a guard i killed

and killed me

[digital sable]

Kedr is probably much cheaper and has full auto so you can compete vs PMCs better

[vagrant cargo]

i was so fucking mad

if u want a glorified long pistol just use saiga 9

[waxen scarab]

Its a gun where you ask yourself "could i have a worse adar?"

[vagrant cargo]

stm9 is too expensive for what it is

[prime trout]

how do you see the maps i just got the game

[glossy gale]

ngl the community in this game is so much more chill for the most part than almost every other game i played

which is surprising

[digital sable]

It does look cool, and running off meta stuff is fun

[waxen scarab]

Fuck you

[ocean cedar]

can anyone play with me and show me the ropes? i just got eft today

[glossy gale]

No, fuck you :)

[waxen scarab]

Lol

[vagrant cargo]

bruh depends a lot

ive met CUNTS

[prime trout]

i need help too lool @ocean cedar

[waxen scarab]

Mostly teens and gun nerds around here

[ocean cedar]

i just need someone to play with lol

[glossy gale]

for sure, but i have 2k hours in rust and like 100 hours in this game, and ive met more nice people in this game than my entire time playing rust lmao

[ocean cedar]

no clue what im doing

[prime trout]

@ocean cedarsame

[waxen scarab]

Comparing any community to rust is ez mode

[vagrant cargo]

rust has the worst community of any game ofc youd meet more decent people here

[ocean cedar]

we should learn together

[vagrant cargo]

zergs screaming racial slurs while using rockets on my stone 2x2

[waxen scarab]

Now kiss @ocean cedar @prime trout

[glossy gale]

yeah, its just very nice coming from a game with a playerbase like rust to a game like this

[prime trout]

@ocean cedar lets run it

[ocean cedar]

i got a broken hand and no gun

[prime sapphire]

What do you expect. When you find a group of deviant masochists you gotta stick together.

[digital sable]

I’ve only encountered toxic VOIPers a few times on Factory and it was more cringe than hurtful

[vagrant cargo]

wtf u should always take a gun with u

[glossy gale]

lmao

[ocean cedar]

i dont have 1

[vagrant cargo]

there are true assholes

[strange pine]

yo what do I have to do to get jaeger? I got the letter from woods and hes not unlocked yet

[vagrant cargo]

literally how

the fuck

[ocean cedar]

idk

[waxen scarab]

Head tapping the guy who yelled i fucking suck was a good time

[vagrant cargo]

did you get out of the raid

[strange pine]

yeah

[vagrant cargo]

then complete task

[strange pine]

yep did that

[vagrant cargo]

go on the screen where u accepted it

then i dont know how

the fuck

[prime sapphire]

Oh, I am a toxic voiper. I try to counter that by being helpful in the disc

[glossy gale]

Lol

[waxen scarab]

Im always super nice on voip. I counter that with my actions

[prime sapphire]

Ok thats fair I am probably similar lmfaoooo

[digital sable]

I had a fight where I whiffed all my shots while the dude was in the open, then I VOIPed to him “holy shit I am really bad” and he just responded “yeah that was rough” then head-eyes’d me with a quick peak 😔

[prime sapphire]

lmfaoo

[waxen scarab]

Still think the clumsy pistol duel outside of dorms where me and this guy literally both whiffed 4 msgs of ammo while having a conversation was the best moment ive had with voip

[vagrant cargo]

ppl are fucking camping tarcone room 💀

[viscid spire]

LOL, almost same thing happend to me. I was doing a scav run and mag dumped this dude without hititng anything and he goes "Well that was embarrasing to watch" - I go back in, reload, come out again and kill him and he goes "Man what the hell?!" in the final moments before he died

[vagrant cargo]

and then mfs say this community great

[waxen scarab]

"Im out of ammo :( "
Pop
"Im not "

[waxen scarab]

Ill occassionally camp smugglers boat :)

Alls fair in love and punisher

[vagrant cargo]

i hope you get killed by a playerscav with 30 million worth of loot on ur scav

[digital sable]

I’ve also had a guy VOIP at me after lighting me up and say “did I get you with that?” didn’t respond, and blasted him when he pushed the corner 🙂

[prime sapphire]

I had one like that. Chased a dude all around he finnally sprayed me stopped and was like "well Im out" I responded "Ohhh noeeee dont do that" as my teamate fell from the roof and fucking merc'd him. Funniest shit ever

[waxen scarab]

Lol i KOS any scav if im rich

[vagrant cargo]

why do people camp fucking tarcone theres like a million starter quests there

[prime sapphire]

Good spot to chill sooo many dumbfuck chads

[waxen scarab]

I had a whole conversation with a dead guy in a bush. I thought i whiffed but apparently domed him lol

[waxen scarab]

Killed 2 guys full of reshala loot there lol. 2 SBIH

[neat flicker]

I just tried a solo factory run offline and got demolished. God i'm so bad :/

[waxen scarab]

You'll get better

[digital sable]

if (loot_value > karma_loss){
kill_player_scav()
}

[neat flicker]

honestly the recoil and sight sway is the most unusual part

[pale snow]

is there a rng chance that insurance will fail, or is it just bc someone picked my shit up?

[waxen scarab]

Picked up

[prime sapphire]

If {bored = KOS}

[pale snow]

fuuuuuuuuuck i had my duo throw my shit in a bush D:

[prime sapphire]

someone found it. was it a bush near your body?

Or was there armor with the gun?

[pale snow]

my lvl 4 armor and modded m4

[waxen scarab]

Rip lol, i always comb through the dorms bushes as a scav. Amazing what you find

[arctic zealot]

One time i said ‘hold on let me reload’ and the guy was just like ‘what?!?’

[prime sapphire]

stash gun and armor seperate, easy to see armor in a bush hard to see a gun

Armor in the same spot will lose it all

[digital sable]

Drop gun attachments separate from gun

Make them do a full Easter egg hunt

[pale snow]

i got randomly head eyes by a scav w buckshot next to messengers body on customs, my duo prolly threw it in the same bush xD

[prime sapphire]

Just run DVL's then you can throw that bitch in the middle of a field and nobody will find it

[pale snow]

jus hit lvl 13 so that one is a lil out of reach lol

[cobalt sluice]

imagine being broke

oh wait

fuck

[prime sapphire]

ooof

[cobalt sluice]

i forgot that i sold my shit

i had 356 roubles earlier

[rotund sand]

if you go MIA, you don't get stuff on you back btw

learned hard way

[edgy panther]

is the ak 105 better than 102 or?

[pale snow]

bigger number better gun

[prime sapphire]

lol

[rotund sand]

M9A3 > M4A1 confirmed

[prime sapphire]

[edgy panther]

so which is better?

[pale snow]

do you have better 5.56 or 5.45 ammo

[edgy panther]

im not lvl 15 yet

[prime sapphire]

Typically gun doesn't matter. Ammo does.

[pale snow]

if u unlocked ps ammo from prapor, its your preference. if you havent you should go 102

[edgy panther]

ak 105^

102 ammo

[vagrant cargo]

why do people pretend to be friendly so they can kill a naked with a double barrel

[prime sapphire]

I would however reccomend running 7.62 for a while.

[vagrant cargo]

pp is better

[edgy panther]

im almost lvl 15

slowly

[prime sapphire]

I run 7.62 PS level 1-25 ish every wipe.

[edgy panther]

i need to sell one of the guns

which one do you think would benefit me more to have for my level right now

[prime sapphire]

Neither are that good in my personal opinion

[hidden oxide]

whats a good cheap weapon I can take into factory to practice PVP?

a preset i guess

[edgy panther]

so what should i do

[prime sapphire]

sell both and get a 7.62 gun

[edgy panther]

my 105 has decent attachments thooo

[prime sapphire]

I garauntee you 7.62 PS is the most reliable ammo you can run right now

[glossy gale]

Rpk 16 + bp ammo = PogChampion?

[edgy panther]

ik i use it w my sks

[prime sapphire]

You can use that for some better guns like the 7.62 vpo as well. Also probably some full autos by now

[edgy panther]

is it really worth a 100 k tho

[supple steppe]

hey when should i pop 3btg?

[prime sapphire]

yes

[short rain]

im very new to the game and need some help

[edgy panther]

what abt this

[prime sapphire]

Phenomenal sniper. Albeit ugly

[edgy panther]

wdym

[prime sapphire]

It is a great sniper statistically. I dont use it cause I do not like how it looks.

[prime sapphire]

Very reliable though and phenomenal .MOA

[mortal patio]

dont hate on da sv-98 😭

it do look kinda ugly tho

[edgy panther]

should i keep it?

ive been using sks as my sniper

[arctic zealot]

Its got 90s swag

[prime sapphire]

If you like sniping then sure

[rotund sand]

only have 200k roubles left, but glad to have Peacekeeper LL2

[edgy panther]

this is the only ammo i can use for it tho

[prime sapphire]

That ammo is great you will be fine

[arctic zealot]

Lps is fine

[edgy panther]

i kinda wanna keep the 105 but sell the 102

[arctic zealot]

Tsumiry go play the game lmao

[edgy panther]

i have

[prime sapphire]

Then do it

[glossy gale]

I have too much t5 armor that I’m hording

[arctic zealot]

What is the best pen 7.62 ammo

[prime sapphire]

NGL i only use t4 or t6 lol

[glossy gale]

Bc I know if I use it I’m probably gonna just die with it

[glossy gale]

Why’s that

[prime sapphire]

BP or M993 depending on 7.62 caliber

[prime sapphire]

Dunno, just only really use MMAC or Slick. I like thorax only armor.

[glossy gale]

I usually run mmac now that I hit level 17

[crisp nest]

mai ap 💀

xD

[vagrant cargo]

mai ap is ass

[prime sapphire]

Oh shit that exists now doesn't it?

[vagrant cargo]

fucking 556 type flesh damage

[glossy gale]

The thing is. I did the math and a t4 set/rpk16/bp ammo adds to about 300k

[crisp nest]

yeah but overpriced

[crisp nest]

it still 2 taps im p sure

[glossy gale]

So it’s doable, 1 good scav run and I have a decently nice set

[crisp nest]

guaranteed 2 shot

[vagrant cargo]

??? literally cant be bought can it ?

[crisp nest]

oh yeah

i havent played since the market changes

[glossy gale]

2 good scav runs and I can go out with a even better gun and even better ammo

Having access to flea now is very nice

[prime sapphire]

Just like my poor M993's 😢

[vagrant cargo]

fuck m993

m61 best friend

[crisp nest]

velocity moment

[prime sapphire]

m61 is sloooowwwwwww

[vagrant cargo]

yeah and its also actually possible to get

unlike fucking

m993

[edgy panther]

these worth keeping?

need to make space for customs raid

[prime sapphire]

DONT REMIND MEEEEEE DX

[vagrant cargo]

use them then

[glossy gale]

I’d say use the mmac, nice rig for cheap

[edgy panther]

trying to get rid of them one in my inventory rn

[edgy panther]

sell the tier 5 armor?

[glossy gale]

Eh idk, I wouldn’t

[crisp nest]

just play

[prime sapphire]

Gzhel is really bad, still run it though. just dont buy one

[edgy panther]

i have no space

[edgy panther]

ok

[brittle canyon]

need gzhel for quest

[crisp nest]

dont scav then? wear a bag and you have room

[prime sapphire]

He doesn't have room and is far from that quest tbh

Wouldn't have him keep it for that imo

[exotic mantle]

I got 100 993

[edgy panther]

managed it myself nvm

[exotic mantle]

@edgy panther stack all your backpacks in one

[edgy panther]

already have

[crisp nest]

👀

[edgy panther]

intelligence center

[crisp nest]

ah

[edgy panther]

is there something wrong w having the factory map

[crisp nest]

anyone whocan use those maps is a gamer though

[edgy panther]

i see

i just need the folder and im done

[vagrant raven]

is this worth like 120k? just bought it from fence didnt know it was level 6

[prime sapphire]

Keep it, RUn it. Its great

[vagrant cargo]

i just got server connection lost while i had like 50ping and a whole airdrop to myself

the game does this on fucking purpose

[neon gazelle]

anyone got tips to clear up ur inv cause i got standard and not sure how to make extra space in it

[vagrant cargo]

do not vendor it

[edgy panther]

what fence sells me tho

[vagrant raven]

fence is honestly so good for when ur under level 15

[vagrant cargo]

cool i got fucking killed while dc

fuck this game

[vagrant raven]

fence sells same things, i just refresh every 5 seconds to see if any armored rigs are there

[edgy panther]

so i see

thank you for letting me know that

[vagrant raven]

all from daddy fence (rigs and zhuk)

[pale snow]

any downside to using a scar mag in an m4?

[exotic mantle]

No

[prime sapphire]

oh god. I can only imagine the cost of this stuff from fence

[edgy panther]

dead ass only have 2 armored rigs

[vagrant raven]

50k for rig and repairing is like 20

[prime sapphire]

50k for what rig?

[vagrant raven]

practically all of them

he just sells u broken stuff

[prime sapphire]

Not always, can get full dura stuff.

[vagrant raven]

there was a level 5 rig for 65k the one that is long like AVS

[prime sapphire]

What is the max dura of the Zhuck?

[vagrant raven]

probably like 40 or 65

[exotic mantle]

65

[vagrant raven]

nvm its 75

[prime sapphire]

So the zhuck you have is essentially a level 3 armor Btw

[vagrant raven]

i know but i just got it because it was cheap

[exotic mantle]

No what??

[vagrant raven]

i mean just because it'll break fast doesnt mean it cant tank shots

[prime sapphire]

Yeah armor class drops based on how much max durability is missing.

[vagrant raven]

really?

[prime sapphire]

Yeah

[exotic mantle]

No

That cap

[vagrant cargo]

how tf do i do factory pvp

[exotic mantle]

Kill the players

And learn spawns

[serene reef]

okay so

[serene reef]

hi sensei

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/m8cmsfokkl?lang=pl

there's a rule of thumb when it comes to armor durability

when your armor is half durability

it basically becomes a tier lower

t5 armor 50/100 is same as 50/50 t4

but you need to realize destructibility plays a role

[vagrant cargo]

i have a tier 6 rig but idk what to put on my face since i cant get good visors yet

[serene reef]

different materials also have different EFFICIENT durability

eg if aramid has 0.25 destructibility

you get not 50 but 200 effective durability

ceramic is really bad (repairs bad and has like 0.8 destructibility)

[stable island]

is there a case to put weapon parts in

[serene reef]

weapon case accepts them

once you're t3 with mechanic you can get them more or less cheap

im always somehow okay w/ money so i end up with like

5 w cases

one of them w/ parts

although its a waste of space as well imo

you wont use half of it

[stable island]

true i might sell them all

[vagrant cargo]

should i run saiga 12 or mp153 with flechette for factory

[exotic mantle]

153

[vagrant cargo]

and also what face gear should i run since i cant get decent face shields yet

i have tagilla rig but idk what id put on my head

[serene reef]

tbf

i cant play w/ altyns

or stuff that deprives sound

[exotic mantle]

Lszh thingy

[serene reef]

also faceshields and visors

give you less fps

so that's a death for me

[exotic mantle]

Or just quest till u can get

[serene reef]

si i'd rather run t6 armor with a ulach or smthn

[vagrant cargo]

head eyes

[vagrant raven]

can u only put it on one helmet?

[prime sapphire]

Thank you!

[serene reef]

yes indeed

[serene reef]

yes indeed

[vagrant cargo]

man ill prolly use the lzsh for factory

[lone quiver]

If you have a laser/flashlight on ur gun, can you turn one on without turning the other on?

[vagrant cargo]

use combo device

[serene reef]

if you have both a laser and a flashlight (separate devices)

you can detach one and put the other one on

eg calibrate one how you want

detach it

[vagrant cargo]

so should i use zsh for the benefit of a faceshield

[serene reef]

calibrate second

and then attach the first one back

[open hedge]

Only good facesheild is the kill/altyn

[serene reef]

how many fps do you have

[vagrant cargo]

i dont know

[serene reef]

faceshields for me tank a lot of my fps

[vagrant cargo]

yeah but on factory id rather have a mediocre one than none at all

[prime sapphire]

press ` then type "fps 1"

[serene reef]

i just dont feel like it's a good choice for me thanks to that

[vagrant cargo]

im not in raid so it wont be accurate

[prime sapphire]

I drop about 15 fps with Exfil faceshield

[serene reef]

i never checked

but its too noticeable anyway

[prime sapphire]

Not bad for me on most maps. lighthouse is unplayable with a faceshield tho for me

[prime sapphire]

Nah exfil saves me tens of times a day

[open hedge]

I have 1200 hours and have played multiple wipes dude

[serene reef]

rhys t is an altyn

[vagrant raven]

how do u fix a cursor being on ur screen all the time

[serene reef]

ig it's personal pref

[prime sapphire]

Not a contest. I am 3k hours and think killa and altyn fshields are trash tbh

[serene reef]

i'd never run killa

[open hedge]

Altyn is lumped in with Rhys

[open hedge]

Personal preference then

[prime sapphire]

ye

[open hedge]

I barely ever get saved by class 3 armor

[serene reef]

oh no tarkov drama hides

[open hedge]

Class 3 is just not as consistent and class 5

[quaint onyx]

where drama?

[vagrant cargo]

killa is pretty ass but altyn is great

[open hedge]

So I prefer the higher armor

I love the killa

It’s not too bad

[vagrant cargo]

i find it horrible

[open hedge]

Only on factory

It’s good

[prime sapphire]

not having ears is more inconsistent than 2 armor class

[vagrant cargo]

id rather not have a faceshield than the killa one

[open hedge]

I have a very good headset irl so I’m decently fine

[serene reef]

altyn people are just ones that crank up their volume to 500%

[prime sapphire]

Same but the Boon with a good In game headset with my own sennies is unparralelled

[quaint onyx]

anyone have that compressor thing set up?

[supple steppe]

hey is 3btg worth it and when am i supposed to pop it?

[vagrant cargo]

love damage to my hearing 😃

[vagrant cargo]

i try but i cant get it set up correctly

[serene reef]

compressor?

[open hedge]

Well we are talking about factory recommendations right? So I recommend a altyn or killa

It’s about the map dude

[quaint onyx]

ye setup a compressor to you rpc and you hear shit better

[open hedge]

Not general performance

[prime sapphire]

Oh I didnt know we were talking anything specific?

[vagrant cargo]

id never use killa but altyn is gucci af

[quaint onyx]

onepeg has a video on stting the compressor

[open hedge]

The killa feels so good tho

[quaint onyx]

i havent watched it seems so tryhardy

[vagrant cargo]

yes but im stupid

[vagrant cargo]

NO

i CANT SEE

[prime sapphire]

fun to farm kids using them with leg meta too xD

[vagrant cargo]

i tried using it and i died

[open hedge]

A good player avoids leg meta

[serene reef]

not really

this game is more like a sandbox

than any other

[open hedge]

But you shouldn’t use class 5+ if you can’t outplay people

[serene reef]

if you

are actually good

you are not scared to use any weap

[prime sapphire]

^

[vagrant raven]

do u still need to play for 10 minutes as a pmc in factory for it not to be a run through?

[open hedge]

Just shoot a scav

[serene reef]

7

or get some exp

kill a scav with a headshot and loot it

thats enough

just killing one and not looting wasnt enough in my case

[vagrant raven]

how much does killing a pmc give

[pale snow]

is the untar armor worth using? its either that or a paca

[open hedge]

100xp

[serene reef]

elimination was like 300 i think?

hs is +500

[open hedge]

Untar works

[serene reef]

you sure?

[open hedge]

That’s all I seem to get

Maybe the tarkov gods just hate me

[supple steppe]

Anyone know the name of the key for this car on lighthouse near the grotto scav extract

[vagrant raven]

how much money do you have? sometimes getting an armored rig from fence is better as long as its okay durability

[vagrant cargo]

this build is good at coming back in insurance

[fast wadi]

Fraud Cannon

[vagrant cargo]

deadass

[prime sapphire]

Again good durability being counted as 65% or higher from max

[serene reef]

imma ss the next time i kill someone

[open hedge]

Ok

I don’t check often

So I’m probably wrong

[serene reef]

doesnt seem to have a key

[pale snow]

i got some money, ive been refreshing fence but im not seeing decent stuff pop up :c.

[serene reef]

fence is just what other players sell to him

[open hedge]

Skill issue

[prime sapphire]

Can you get the level 3 zhuck yet?

[serene reef]

just for you i'll sell a MMCA (t4 budget rig) to him, okay :D ?

[open hedge]

This is why the mods have not given me operator yet

[serene reef]

lets see if you can get it or at least see it

its 1.2 out of 40

but it repairs well

[serene reef]

ready :O ?

[pale snow]

noooooo im already in a raid

[serene reef]

xD

[pale snow]

ty tho cutiepie ❤️

[serene reef]

okay

[prime sapphire]

lol

[serene reef]

ywyw < 3

[vagrant cargo]

the god damn size of this thing

[vagrant raven]

you can name the guns?

[vagrant cargo]

yeah

[prime sapphire]

And cases

[open hedge]

10 thousand slots

[vagrant cargo]

DEADASS

i love this stupid fucking thing

[open hedge]

16 spots

That’s a lot

[vagrant cargo]

yes

way too much space

it has like 6 ergo i kinda forgot about that

fuck

[prime sapphire]

Pretty sure I can only fit like two of those in my thiqq weapons case

[serene reef]

this one seems neat

is house even worth 3mil ?

[prime sapphire]

Just pointfire people tbh

[serene reef]

im just really confused as to how to price the keys that are barters only

[vagrant cargo]

yeah ill do that lol

[prime sapphire]

same tbh

[quaint onyx]

check other barters

or just barter for something you want/need

[vagrant cargo]

my kit feels like a gross mishmash of whatever i had at hand

[prime sapphire]

I hate it

also dont wear eyewear its bugged

[vagrant cargo]

same but i bet itll be fun if i dont die instantly

[celest sage]

Every loadout I ever have

[vagrant cargo]

i know but its fuckin factory

where WOULDNT they spot me anyways

[prime sapphire]

ok lol

[vagrant raven]

ive started running factory and its quite fun

[vagrant cargo]

its horrible

[vagrant raven]

scavs there are both friendly and friendly firing

[vagrant cargo]

im only going there because of a quest

[vagrant cargo]

ur talking about how theyre visible no matter the distance right

[serene reef]

yeah but

[vagrant raven]

looks cool

[serene reef]

there are like no barters

and you need FiR items

to pay for the barter

[vagrant cargo]

is ass

[serene reef]

so if you try to barter for eg weapon cases

they need to be crafted

they need to be FiR

[vagrant raven]

yea its level 3 but i like the look of it

[vagrant cargo]

cool man

[quaint onyx]

are you trying to sell smoethihng or buy somehting?

[serene reef]

doesnt this limit your hearing?

[prime sapphire]

They are always reflecting. Its especially bad in fog and rain but can fuck you in any visibility typr

[serene reef]

yeah

[vagrant cargo]

hmm would that matter on factory though

[prime sapphire]

if you are in a dark patch they will immediatly see your glasses even if they dont see u

[serene reef]

got me the Labs armband

[vagrant cargo]

im fucking disgusting

[serene reef]

rat

[vagrant cargo]

ye ill remove em

[vagrant cargo]

tf u mean

[prime sapphire]

OMG we will match ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[serene reef]

i kinda wanna sell it >:(

im not well enough on money to pass up 1mil

for an armband

[prime sapphire]

worth more than that tho

[serene reef]

that will lose value

over time

[serene reef]

what should i try to barter for it then

[prime sapphire]

look at the barters for it, they are the same as dorms marked and shit

basically a rivals armband

[vagrant cargo]

THE FUCKING SUPPRESSOR

[serene reef]

cheapest barters (buy the armband) are house and merin keys

and then diff colored armbands

there's plenty of em tho

[prime sapphire]

House and Merin are worth more than a mil

[serene reef]

idkhow much are they worth

[vagrant cargo]

merin itself is worth crazy money

[serene reef]

they;re only 100uses

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vagrant cargo]

100 uses is the max ??

[prime sapphire]

Barters are usually a few mill at the least

seen em sell for 7 mil of flat roubles before tho

[vagrant raven]

do i need one or two toolsets for this

[serene reef]

you seen keys?

[vagrant cargo]

yeah theyre worth good money

[serene reef]

2

[vagrant cargo]

there are no unlimited keys anymore

[vagrant raven]

also do i need to escape for this?

[serene reef]

i added two guys to friends

that are selling merin and house

ill try to barter with em

[prime sapphire]

all keys are 100 uses except marked rooms

[serene reef]

but they want a labs and terra armbands

[vagrant cargo]

yeah wtf is she on

[serene reef]

wut?

[vagrant cargo]

wdym i seen keys

wdym ONLY 100 uses

[serene reef]

yeah have you seen any keys this wipe?

[vagrant cargo]

yes ?

[open hedge]

I’m gonna go shooting I’ll see y’all in a bit

[serene reef]

they're not unlimited anymore

[vagrant cargo]

yes i know

[serene reef]

keys are worth both more and less

[vagrant cargo]

100 is the max

[serene reef]

at the same time

[vagrant cargo]

merin is worth it

[serene reef]

cause they expire but one key is worth a bit less

since its not unlimited

[quaint onyx]

irl shooting?

[open hedge]

Yes

[serene reef]

go lighthouse :dumbcatemote:

[quaint onyx]

with what?

[open hedge]

Handguns

Mosin

Maybe a ar15

[prime sapphire]

Waiting on my paycheck then Imma go take out my 92fs

[quaint onyx]

i envy america sometimes

[prime sapphire]

I envy russia

[vagrant cargo]

gross

[open hedge]

Then come on over

[quaint onyx]

[whole crest]

Broooi I don’t wanna do skier quests

[prime sapphire]

[whole crest]

Imma hatchet run all of them

[open hedge]

I don’t like Russia but I like how cheap their guns are

[glossy gale]

theres so many future quests i need to to that everytime i think about it, it genuinely just makes me just say fuck quests and go do other shit lmao

[vagrant cargo]

what price would u say is worth lvl 6 thorax armor

[open hedge]

[open hedge]

200-400k

[vagrant cargo]

hm

[prime sapphire]

Russia makes good guns. America could learn a lot.

[vagrant cargo]

tagilla rig cost me like 50k to repair

[open hedge]

Russia makes cheap guns big difference

[whole crest]

Quest is fine but not going to 60 different maps

[vagrant cargo]

good too

[prime sapphire]

Cheap and reliable > expensive and shit

[vagrant cargo]

some of them

[open hedge]

How l are American guns other than hipoint shit?

[vagrant cargo]

i have a million quests on factory

i hate factory

[glossy gale]

im just on like, all of my quests are reserve, shoreline, and marker quests/inside if interchange quests. and i dont feel like doign any of that, feels like so much work lmao

[prime sapphire]

to be fair though Lobaev makes expensive and top of the line riffles. Literally world record holding riffles.

[glossy gale]

im lazy

[vagrant cargo]

the only reason i dont consider factory to be the worst map is because shoreline exists

[open hedge]

Facts

[prime sapphire]

M4, and M16.

[open hedge]

You think those are shit?

[vagrant cargo]

i am hating on every map but whatever

well milspec ones are shit

[whole crest]

Those are fine bc I did those while watching yt

[prime sapphire]

They are phenomenal in optimal conditions. Any sort of bad conditions and the guns might as well be a metal rod

[glossy gale]

oh and i dont know reserve/shoreline lmao

thats the main issue

[open hedge]

So you don’t take care of guns?

[prime sapphire]

For personal shooting that is a fine argument. For war your argument is falling apart.

[open hedge]

If it was so shit then why does some of the highest budget militaries in the world use them?

[prime sapphire]

And why do the soldiers in those armies complain about malfunctions constantly?

[open hedge]

Probably because if you shoot a gun enough it will jam

I don’t even like the m4 but I know it’s a good gun

[serene reef]

LMao

[vagrant cargo]

i mean

military issue

is mostly shit

[prime sapphire]

Its a phenomenal gun in optimal conditions. I never argued that.

[open hedge]

It has everything it needs to to be a good gun as long as you treat it right

A amazing gun even

[glossy gale]

I got an aks-74u, should i sell to mech or mod it out?

[open hedge]

Poopy

74u sucks

[quaint onyx]

sell

[prime sapphire]

Fight in mud, dirt, and ice. Then good luck

[serene reef]

ya all say that

but i like them aksu s

they're just less accuracy for more ergo

• they're short

[prime sapphire]

IRL 74u is great in game its poo poo

[open hedge]

But that’s preventable it’s about the turf but the m4 is still one of the best ARs in the world

[azure night]

only good fully modded with good ammo

[vagrant cargo]

you seem to vastly overestimate russian weaponry

[glossy gale]

and a mule, would it be worth to keep or sell. Because idk when tf id use it but its worth 100k lmao
