Are you at minus 5 scav karma?

glossy gale

#

I got a question. Why am I losing energy in raid so fast?

bold kernel
#

If not, it’s likely just a low metabolism skill

celest marlin
#

because bsg assumes military operatives dont actually pass medical checks and starts you off with lovely low metabolism, energy, vitality, endurance because REALISM right

bold kernel
#

Is that not the same for everyone else lolol

celest marlin

a wise man in this discord once said "weapons are just ammo skins" and he is right

His problem of needing pmc kills lmao

Does reshala and his guards give anything good usually other than ammo?

celest marlin

You can find slicks, special armbands such as the Evasion Armband or the Twitch Rivals 2020 Armband, and so on.

A lot of people have since acquired the RB-ST key and now it's going low enough as to hit the actual listing on the flea market now.

Does removing your offer from flea hurt your AH rep?

not sure how much of a difference 2 pen will make but the extra flesh damage isn't enough to one tap a chest either, probably ps is slightly better

No replacement, lvl jaeger or wait till lvl 15 for flea

bold kernel

wait

#

I might've found something

sterile agate
#

How do i understand ammo? Looking at the wiki the more armor pen the less damage wouldnt we want to run middle of the chart ammo?

I got a Tactical MP153, and the muzzle device works on my modded one

let me see if it fits the specs

shiitttt, it has 913 sum recoil

brittle canyon

since you don’t know what the other guy has

bold kernel
#

guess i'll have to wait :(

brittle canyon
#

you assume the worst based on current wipe trends

#

at this point of the wipe and due to flea bans we can reasonably expect a few low-dura lv5 armor, many lv4 armor of various quality, some lv3

bold kernel
#

alrighty, last question, what ammo should I pick ?

brittle canyon
#

so you take something that pens 4

bold kernel

i'm gonna just chad out dorms on customs I think

#

So if an ammo has a penatration of 39 what does that mean and how does it stack up against armor

Looking at 9x19mm 7n31

hazy veldt
sterile agate
#

Does that mean it will ignore the armor and then just dmg the thorax

hazy veldt

(they also have range dropoff stuff and other advanced behind the scenes stuff)

#

yes.

Thank you

Today we look at a full breakdown of Class 4 armor, which has become incredibly important in 12.12 because without high level traders, it’s the best armor that most players have access to!

Bring anything that makes you overweight to level strength.

#

Make sure you aren't overweight to level endurance

simple verge
#

so it is possible to level up at the same time

misty ginkgo
#

No. You're either overweight - or not.

ok

and what about the bonus thingy

but why/how

random cedar
#

That’s your first Vaseline

#

It’s the one you receive in your starter kit

I found others, never more than capacity

#

i found it on a body

random cedar
#

A players body?

echo flower
#

yeah

random cedar
#

Yeah it’s the one he received in his starter kit

#

I’m not sure if it’s eod only because I’ve had eod since like 2017 but I’ve only seen it this way this wipe

#

But it starts at 10/6 you could keep it and maybe they will fix it at some point

woeful spruce
#

im pretty sure that after you use it it unbugs and goes down to 5/6

Could be right I don’t even know what I did with mine tbh

what is some good budget armor/helmet combo that you guys run for solos? so far ive been using the zhuk/6b47 and it works nicely

finite helm
#

the last few therapist resets the thicc case for the moonshine is fully sold out

#

and as soon as it restocks it is sold out

#

is this a glitch on my side or is everyone trying to get a thicc case rn

misty ginkgo
#

Everyone trying to get it

#

Use flea market

#

Refreshes faster

finite helm
#

thats what i did

finite helm
#

but its like, its as if it never restocked in the first place. i was spamming refresh on the flea for it

misty ginkgo
#

You have to spam it until it says "Out of stock"

#

Once it say "out of stock" it's sold out. If it isn't, you still have a chance.

finite helm
#

alright

topaz violet
#

why no helmet?

hazy veldt
#

(barter for both)

#

(tarzan barter to cover the untar, no backpack is what I run for factory)

topaz violet
#

oooh i like that for factory

hazy veldt
#

yeah.

topaz violet
#

ill just run at people with an mp 153

hazy veldt
#

yes

#

YES 😄

topaz violet
#

👿 thank you

woeful spruce
# topaz violet why no helmet?

helets are good if you just happen to have looted them or something, for most close range maps if you are going budget its not worth spanding the roubles on it, a lvl 4 helmet will save you from time to time but its expensive and you'll get face taped most likely anyway so kinda no point

#

if you were going geared it would make sense

topaz violet
#

oh i see

serene atlas
#

real talk what ammo do i use untill i can get something that actually kills people

#

or penetrates armor i mean

topaz violet
#

@woeful spruce would a face mask like the shattered one be preferable?

#

or just straight up nothing

Anyone know if damage is weird right now? My friend showed me an ammo chart on google docs but some of the ammo is doing way less than what it says.

inner glacier
#

you need to factor in penetration

craggy moss
#

Yea thats the one! But I'm using flesh rounds, so I shouldnt have to worry about armor pen right? If I'm hitting them in the legs it should be doing full damage right?

inner glacier
#

ya

#

if you hit yes

craggy moss
#

My buddy let me take a bunch of the rip rounds off of shotgun raiders, and it says they do 265 damage, and I'll end up with like 600 damage in 4 hits with nothing to armor

waxen scarab
craggy moss
#

Do they fall off after like after a few meters? I've definitely had runs where they DO kill pmcs in 2 shots, and dont.

waxen scarab
#

yeah there's falloff

#

also needs to be the same leg both slugs hit

hazy veldt
#

at 100m they're 216.11 damage.

craggy moss
#

Oh, okay so they dont fall off after a few meters. What happened in my raids lmao.

waxen scarab
#

that's not nearly the falloff i expected lol

waxen scarab
#

Probably hit one leg, then hit the other which leaves them at 7 health left

craggy moss
#

Wait, so do you actually need to hit both in the same leg? If they each do 265 2 should kill them no matter what squishy part of the body you hit right?

waxen scarab
#

i'm going off the damage calculator in battle buddy

craggy moss
#

Oh? Whats that

waxen scarab
#

app made by veritas for tarkov

#

and i think there's a damage multiplier of some kind for hitting limbs, like arms don't do as much as legs

random cedar
#

If you black the limb the next shot to the same limb spreads the damage evenly through all body parts

waxen scarab
#

nah, there's multipliers for blacked damage

#

Arm spreads 70% of damage
Stomach spreads 150% damage
legs spread 100% damage

random cedar
#

Hence why leg meta is the term

craggy moss
#

Oooooh that would probably explain it then, thank you everyone!

random cedar
#

You would not rip someone’s arm you should just aim for one leg if you can

waxen scarab
#

but that is weird that one rip slug in each leg isn't a kill

craggy moss
#

Yea its super weird

random cedar
#

In each leg it’s not because you have to take the number out of the leg before the spread

waxen scarab
#

does 265 damage x2 = 530 which is more than a players entire health pool. Shouldn't matter if it's spreading 100% of damage

craggy moss
#

Yea that was my line of thought

random cedar
#

Yeah but the first shot didn’t spread 265

#

It spread 200

#

And then it spread 200 again with the next shot but also you have to keep in mind there is damage drop off in the game now too

#

So at ranges further the damage lowers now too so technically you are right it should kill either way

waxen scarab
#

i understand now

craggy moss
#

But as long as its spreading 100 percent it should kill with legs. Unless damage isnt QUITE 100 percent spread, I mean it does only leave a pmc with 7 hp

random cedar
#

Yeah this is a weird situation with the new ballistics ngl

waxen scarab
#

The spread damage doesn't go to an already blacked limb, so first leg spreads 200, 2nd leg sucks up some damage and spreads but doesn't reach the other leg so the body takes more damage
That's how a rip in each leg leaves you with 7 health

smoky moth
#

anyone in game rn? i cant seem to update it

#

check for updates doesnt work

#

oh nvm

#

got it

waxen scarab
#

glad we could help

craggy moss
#

According to the damage calculator, 1 rip slug to the first leg blacks it, and does a total of 236 damage. So you'd think the next leg would also do 236 damage.

waxen scarab
#

yeah i don't understand why the first hit does 236, weird shit lol

#

that's why i use magnum buck lol

random cedar
#

Yeah I would use magnum buck because it’s kill time in legs is extremely efficient

waxen scarab
#

Copypasta my buckshot math wooo
Pellets to kill with 2 shots in leg (lower is better)

Magnum 11/16 68.7%
7mm 13/16 81.3%
Express 15/18 83.3%
