but they dyin

cri

[inner glacier]

I got a noti in my scav run about half an hour ago saying "servers will be taken down in 40 mins" or smth

something was happening in 40 mins

[mint hawk]

With luger CCI yeah

[rotund sand]

unfortunately I haven't unlocked a reserve quest yet to do together, but I can still give it a go maybe

[serene reef]

i mean this isnt that bad for a moonshine, right?

i've been having terrible luck i s2g

[simple verge]

i have the ultra med key so it means i have the labs somewhere but im blindd

[serene reef]

btw

[simple verge]

?

[mint hawk]

You did not get your moneys worth.. but it is a lootbox that can spawn anything so..

[serene reef]

ultra key is super expensive < 3

[simple verge]

ik

[serene reef]

dont forget that ^^

[mint hawk]

Ultra med is interchange

[serene reef]

i mean

crafted

./secure container

[simple verge]

yeah ik but the labs keycard :c

[serene reef]

but like

120ish k for ghzell

[robust robin]

Ultra med is shit this wipe

[serene reef]

ratchet is 70k

[serene reef]

DONT YOU DARE

[robust robin]

I sold as fast as i could because the price was dropping

[serene reef]

i found my ophthalmoscope there this wipe

car and slim another 70k

that's already 140 + 120k

like 260

+guns

[mint hawk]

Yes.. early wipe I got defibs, ledx and ophthalmoscope.. but for the past 3 weeks it's been trash

[robust robin]

All you get is like cheese and pills

[serene reef]

i think this is the only time i made my money back 😂

[mint hawk]

Not sure what your trying to find out dude

[inner glacier]

Can someone explain to me why there are certain items on the flea that almsot all of the offers are in Euros? (book, rooster, etc)?

[simple verge]

oh no when the error occured i might just relogged in the game

maybe its not in my stash

WTFF

[mint hawk]

And med tools

[mint hawk]

People want euros instead of roubles

[inner glacier]

but why only on specific items not everything

[simple verge]

any ideas where could i put the keycard except rigs?

[robust robin]

In an open slot?

[serene reef]

.

[serene reef]

actually

[simple verge]

anywhere

[mint hawk]

Wallet

[serene reef]

euro actually appear cheaper

than rubles

[simple verge]

not there

[serene reef]

so 20k worth of euro will be listed ABOVE 19k of rubles

sorted by price

[mint hawk]

Then you don't have it if its not in the rigs

[inner glacier]

oh wow ok

[serene reef]

so technically the game tells you youre paying less

but you're paying a bit more

[simple verge]

FUUUUUUUU

[serene reef]

also people mostly do it because

buying euro sucks

soyou can as well just sell stuff for euro

[inner glacier]

understood

[serene reef]

for when you need like 7mil in euro (50k was it?) for mentor

[mint hawk]

People usually don't use euro for anything else.. its pretty much just sniper training, WiFi camera and items case

[inner glacier]

Another q - when you have an item like where it has a trader listed but greyed out (i do have mechanic 2 so idk why it's greyed out) - are these items even worth listing, or are people just wasting a flea slot?

[simple verge]

rip labs keycard 2022 :c

[inner glacier]

Another example (but with the item not greyed out)

[serene reef]

probably because if you hgover over locked

it says its unlocked on lvl 3 mechanic

[inner glacier]

ahhhhhhh

hero, thank youj

[simple verge]

to who i could sell the skull badges and cutters or should i wait for the flea

[inner glacier]

so people listing are relying on those buying not having the trader unlocked yet

[mint hawk]

Greyed out because might be locked behind task or trader level.. I'd say if you want to sell, just sell it to the trader.. the fee eats up what you think you are making on flea

[steep oracle]

#community-support message

Anyone know how to fix this with my flea listing?

[inner glacier]

is the flea fee flat or % based?

[serene reef]

https://tarkov-market.com/

[inner glacier]

@mint hawk

[serene reef]

if you try listing too cheap or too expensive, the flea goes HIGH up

[mint hawk]

Average trader price % based..

[serene reef]

for example listing an item with cheap base value

for 3mil

will make it like2mil fee

[mint hawk]

It's a very weird formula

[inner glacier]

oh wow ok

[simple verge]

damn ill wait for the flea

[serene reef]

and for listing a single bullet of BP, you can get 200% etc fee

of the price

eg you list for 1mil you need to pay 3mil to list

[mint hawk]

Like when military tubes were 1.2 mil.. the fee was like 600k

[serene reef]

also isnt it slightly based on average price from flea as well?

[mint hawk]

Also same with technical manual.. huge fee

[serene reef]

the labs armband has a base value of like

28k?

but if i wanted to list it for 3mil cash

the fee is 2mil

even with intel 3

also m700 with this body looks like the awm / awp

[thick bison]

A bullets damage to armor is that a percent? Not actually it does 80 damage to armor

[mint hawk]

Damage absorbed by armor is just that

[dry kindle]

is the vpo a descent gun?

[mint hawk]

PST gang with the 800 damage absorbed by armor

[mint hawk]

Which one

[dry kindle]

vpo 215

[serene reef]

with ap-m

until they run t5 armor

good up to 50m

to 1shot the thorax

[dry kindle]

yeah it has apm

got it from a pmc kill

[mint hawk]

I run eko for the bullet range when going lighthouse

[dry kindle]

is the idea reg key used for anything or sell for 500k

50k****

[opal cave]

is there any kind of optic mount for the 255 shotgun?

[serene reef]

once again use wiki

[rotund sand]

going by wiki https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/ETMI-019_shotgun_rail_mount its this one

[opal cave]

neat, ty

[opal locust]

can anyone help me with building a solid gun preset?

[serene reef]

i can give you advice how to

but i wont do the work for you, no

wdym a SOLID gun preset?

[robust robin]

Slap a foregrip and the best cpmpensator and youre done

[mint hawk]

You get idea and oli register from a quest I believe.. the goshan one is required for a quest

[robust robin]

And a sight, and suppressor if youre not caring about budget

[opal locust]

@serene reef umm ok mate

[serene reef]

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

[serene reef]

if i im not british can i feel offended by that xD?

[mint hawk]

Low, medium, high tier?

[opal locust]

@mint hawk medium like 100k budget

something medium range also

[serene reef]

what level are you?

[mint hawk]

What caliber do you prefer to use?

[hazy veldt]

RFB.

[opal locust]

7.62x39,,

mm

is an akm good?

[mint hawk]

Yes but higher recoil so more of a tap weapon unless close range

[opal locust]

i tend to tap fire a lot so it should be ok

[serene reef]

maybe then vpo with ap-m

the ak looking one

a bit better than running BT / BP ammo, right?

[opal locust]

the bit I struggle with is what mods to put on cause there are so many

unless is there a meta gun that most people use that is easy to buy from traders?

[serene reef]

i'd prob go budget like this

[hazy veldt]

Yes, but also no, for meta guns, you need to LL3-LL4 traders usually, or pay obscene prices on flea.

[serene reef]

for more money to spend

prob smthn like this

./zhukov for best stock

[opal locust]

@serene reef how pricy is the second one and third preset?

[serene reef]

for me or for you xD?

because there's a huge difference

[opal locust]

like over or under 100k

[serene reef]

i wont be able to tell you

open taht left bottom menu like i did

and see what you can get for value / buck

that increases the parameters

for a DMR

you want ergo to be high

and you dont care as much about the recoil

since its single fire

but a silencer is neat

i'd aim 40+ / 50+ ergo

[opal locust]

k ill try your preset now

[serene reef]

and learn how to crouch

[opal locust]

thanks

[serene reef]

when scoping to get more arms stamina 's worth

[robust robin]

Sr25 is pog too

[mint hawk]

But expensive

[robust robin]

Only like 20k more then rfb

[reef rune]

I cant seem to find matches, i need 3 for hideout

[opal locust]

is VPO better than AKM?

[robust robin]

For way better stats and moddability

Vpo 215 is best cheap sniper

[mint hawk]

Eh.. not close range due to single only vs auto

[robust robin]

But the vpo 209 is single fire

[mint hawk]

Also. .366 vs 7.62x39

[hazy veldt]

I run this for budget,
20k for X-47 usually on flea,
~5k (47$) for Saw PK LL2?,
As low as 8k for Magpul AFG,depending on color, but usually 10-12k on flea.
4k for ruber recoil pad (prapor LL2?)
5.6k for laser
5.75k for handle.
30-40k for AKM/AKMN/Ak-103.
Total ~85-100k + scope (Spectre is ~35-40k)

[hazy veldt]

vepr-km is 7.62x39

[robust robin]

Theres no point trying to get good recoil for akm because itll always be shit unless you go full meta

[opal locust]

@hazy veldtcool looks good

[hazy veldt]

I tried .366 but APM price is insane and it wasn't really good.

[robust robin]

Vpo 209 has way to much recoil

215 is great for snowball rogues farming

[opal locust]

so once you have a preset you are able to quickly purchase the mods and the gun from flea?

[vivid hemlock]

Look for stashes in woods, easy money and a lot of materials

[topaz violet]

im kinda sad i havent found a general purpose weapon that i've liked yet in this game

[hazy veldt]

209 has much worse hidden stats than AKM(N)/103.

[reef rune]

ty

[hazy veldt]

Sort of, yes.

[round ridge]

Sks?

[hazy veldt]

Why SKS when Vepr-KM exist?

[round ridge]

Op-sks with a pso and a 20 rounder is perfect

[hazy veldt]

(why Vepr-KM when AKM/AK103 are same price).

[robust robin]

Because sks is pog

[round ridge]

Sks is pog

[topaz violet]

i liked the SKS but i like to use iron sights for close range stuff and i dont like how hard it is to see with em

[hazy veldt]

that...isn't really an argument.

[topaz violet]

ill try out the ak-103

[hazy veldt]

whatever is cheapest at the time.

[robust robin]

Because you can top load aswell as mag load sks, aswell as being cheap for a dovetail sight

[round ridge]

I mean it’s all personal preference

[topaz violet]

the mosin is pretty nice

[round ridge]

What level are you @topaz violet

[hazy veldt]

yes, but you don't need to topload with 30rnders that are dirt cheap.

[topaz violet]

can i just use the ak103 stock and go for a spin?

[hazy veldt]

Not to mention sks mags are expensive.

[topaz violet]

@round ridge just hit 18

[hazy veldt]

I mean, you can, but you really need some mods to get recoil under control.

[topaz violet]

I see I see

[hazy veldt]

just try stock in hideout or offline imho, it's pretty bad.

[robust robin]

I see more sks then veprs just because theyre easier to use

[round ridge]

Hmm ok, idk when ACP APs are unlocked but once you have them on peacekeeper, running ump will probably be your go to gun and bullet

[robust robin]

You can go in with no rig

[topaz violet]

@round ridge thats level 3 loyalty im at loyalty 2 so ill work on that now

[round ridge]

Are m80s unlocked at level 2?

[hazy veldt]

yeah

[round ridge]

Wait just use the hunter then wtf

[hazy veldt]

RFB+M80 = click on heads for kills.

[topaz violet]

fair @hazy veldt , do you know if theres a build website of do you have your own personal loadout for the ak103

[robust robin]

Pk3 is lvl 23

[round ridge]

Use vepr hunter with a pso scope and m80s, you’ll be able to kill anything

[hazy veldt]

https://tarkov-gunsmith.com/create-loadout I use this for putting a load out together.

[topaz violet]

ill buy that and try it out as well

[topaz violet]

thanks!

i saved up 3m roubles from using shotguns on factory so i can def spend a lot to find something that works

[hazy veldt]

there is also:
https://www.eftdb.one/

[topaz violet]

will check this out too, thanks!

I really do suck fat nuts at this game but man i love it for some reason

i think its the weapon bobbing that gets me when i ADS

i just need to play slower

[hazy veldt]

you've turned head bobbing down to 0.2 in settings?

[topaz violet]

yep! i think i just move and shoot too much

i think im playing overwatch or something LMAO

got the 103, and the vepr so ill do some offlines and give em a go

[round ridge]

Shooting while moving in this game is a lot different from any other shooter, sometimes it’s better to just standstill and shoot

[topaz violet]

i see i see

[eternal geyser]

Is there some sort of secret technique to complete popular barters? I'm trying to get the jaeger T H I C C weapons case, it's instantly sold out right at reset. I go on Flea, sort by traders, sort by barters, start refreshing right at reset, still cannot get it, instantly sold out

[broken condor]

Get luck

[ivory merlin]

cant get on flea anymore and no just be first unfortunately

[broken condor]

no secret unfortunally

Gotta be faster then everyone else

[eternal geyser]

Sadge I feel I'm competing with bots

[broken condor]

But they likely bot

[ivory merlin]

u kinda are sometimes

[eternal geyser]

aight, next reset here I go

thanks for the advice

[dry kindle]

how often can you use factory gate for extract? is it just a bait or do people actually be friendly and use it

[ivory merlin]

some people are friendly and use it some bait its one of the hardest co-op ones as it in the open and out of the way

[dry kindle]

yeah i can see it being used while im a scav but i dont think id trust it as a pmc myself hahaha

[ivory merlin]

ive only done it once every other time i get popped so i just use abuse car extract 🙂

if your looking for advice and info on the scav karma and extracts watch this video from onepeg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJZ-lmIGAoc&ab_channel=Onepeg

[dry kindle]

yeah ill need to start fixing my fence its -4

[dry kindle]

being a new player i killed everything i saw (couldnt tell difference between AI) and santa

[ivory merlin]

santa ?

haha yh every 1killed santa

[dry kindle]

yeah killing santa -1

[ivory merlin]

be glad u wernt max scav rep it would of hit u with -15 well -12 is max i think

[dry kindle]

i killed him 3 times i think lol

didnt survive a single raid with his bp either

[ivory merlin]

lol so wasted but thats the joy of tarkov

[dry kindle]

yeah got unlucky but oh well

[dry kindle]

at the time i didnt even know what fence rating was so

now my scav is 1 hour CD 😭

[ivory merlin]

yh its new from last wipe

[ivory merlin]

ooft -6 is 2 hours that video will explain everything he is good for the testing things of the way rep goes and sound

[dry kindle]

yeah ill give it a watch i need to try fix it before its too late 🤣

[ivory merlin]

🙂 u will be able to 🙂

[inner glacier]

Is there any use for empty fuel tanks? (the grey ones, not the expeditionary ones)

[smoky moth]

lavatory has a craft for it

magazine or grenade case i dont remember

[brittle canyon]

nade

[inner glacier]

isnt that the blue ones?

[smoky moth]

there's 2

[brittle canyon]

100 fuel nade case 60 fuel magcase

[smoky moth]

one for blue and one for grey

[ivory merlin]

and Fletchette ammo on workbench for the silver one

[dry kindle]

for operational tasks i need a "light bulb" since its operational do i need to find it today? Because its not letting me use one i already have

[fleet whale]

#807420480419266560 helping new players, EU or NAE i dont mind, dont be a bore, have common sense. just click the blue.

[rain wing]

dorms 204 key any good?

[distant fable]

Out of bound, invisible snipers

[hazy veldt]

use trader screen to see when it really resets, then keep refreshing the item on flea (with exclude barters removed) to get a shot at it.

[rain wing]

wait can ai scavs extract?

I had no idea whether or not that was an ai scav or player scav

[hazy veldt]

no dorms key is 'good' besides marked.
I think 220 is also 25-30k since it's a quest one and people lose it.

[rain wing]

ah ok

[eternal geyser]

yeah I've been doing exactly that I think, I hit "purchase" as soon as it's available, but it's already sold out. Maybe it's just bots so I dont have a chance

[hazy veldt]

which item?

[rain wing]

fuck I accidentally killed an ai scav as a player

[hazy veldt]

thicc?

[eternal geyser]

thicc weapon case

[hazy veldt]

probably bots scoop it up for RMT

[eternal geyser]

yeah I suppose

the value is too good

[foggy stratus]

Needs to be found in raid and there’s always a time limit for operational tasks

[foggy stratus]

There’s quite a few that are good wtf are you saying. All the safe rooms are great keys to have

To your forward left is outskirts

Behind you is sniper rock

Ur close by

Only reason I can tell is the big ass mountain scenery in the way distance btw, u can orient urself with that usually

I guess? They’re both contested areas so

Np

I’d just go for what’s closest then speed run to exit after the second

That’s nothing, early wipe everyone’s camping the jaeger hut itself. This wipes case it was umps so it was actual cancer

There’s positives and negatives to coming in late. Early wipes a bit of a sweat fest anyways so It’s usually better for new players to wait regardless

[whole whale]

If your using the compass, the degrees are backwards btw

[trail plaza]

anyone want to play?

[whole whale]

Yes

[ivory merlin]

yes

[whole whale]

If you're looking at the river

You can go right, itll lead you up to scav bridge

Than if you go towards scav bunker, south, the convoy will be in that direction

And as for usec, its just off to the right of the convoy if youre looking to the back of the convoy

Ah alright, if you need any more help, you can @ me directly

[ivory merlin]

there is a safe rout for u to take red arrow was the broken village green is quest item

u are by convoy

use the map and position the truck the same as the map to get rigfht oreintation

yer abit futher down and on the right of where u are i think @whole whale am right arent i ?

woope

check the car there at that camp as an m4 can spawn there found a meta one there yesterday (well asmeta as can be this wipe )

theres two parts to it u need the bit with the netting

and a rage rover

y3w

*yer

[rain wing]

why doesnt it work?

am I trippin?

[brittle canyon]

that’s afglass

not 6b34

[rain wing]

ohhh

oh.

[vivid hemlock]

It's the ones that are lv1 armour

[brittle canyon]

it’s not armored

[vivid hemlock]

Lv1 protection then fine

[ivory merlin]

try the other part there will be anopther one to the left a bit and straight on

[brittle canyon]

it doesn’t protect at all

it’s like sunglasses

[unique steeple]

its lvl 0

[ivory merlin]

high reichochet

[unique steeple]

only protective glasses are condors

lvl 1

[whole whale]

4 pfilters

[whole whale]

[ivory merlin]

i need a dorms maklred key dam peacekeeper and his ritual spots

[whole whale]

idk if I got a really cheap deal or not, but I just gave the dude a couple gpu's and he was cool with it.

[rare osprey]

I saw the barter on the flea when I had 3/4 pfilters

[ivory merlin]

that was cheap as its usually a merin or hilside house key the want

[rare osprey]

has to run reserve a in terror that the barter would be used

but i got another one on my 3rd reserve raid

[whole whale]

oh I see

[rain wing]

do scavs spawn like late raid?

cause I never see any pmcs

[rare osprey]

as long as there are pmcs, yes

[rain wing]

and only the occasional player scav

[rain wing]

damn maybe I'm just blind

[whole whale]

I think there's a scav to pmc ratio, but I could just be talking out my ass here.

[rain wing]

holy shit

I finally found meds

now just disposable syringe

[hazy veldt]

You can craft meds tho?

[rain wing]

I need meds

to craft the med station

💀

[hazy veldt]

Ah, joys of not being level 15.

[robust robin]

Tbh appreciate the fact its 15 and not 20 like last wipe

[whole whale]

I'll almost always recommend med station on woods. has a shit load of meds.

[hazy veldt]

↑ 100%

[rain wing]

aight I'll check it out

Classic matches

barter trade for therapist ll1

[mint hawk]

Servers stay active if at least one player is on that server regardless if its a pmc or a scav.. so if all pmcs extract and there's one Pscav left you can still enter that raid (if within the time limit)

[rain wing]

ohhh

[rotund sand]

what side of the map is the woods medstation at

[rain wing]

what the fuck do I do with all these hotrods

[whole whale]

GO FAST BAYBEEEEEE

[rain wing]

I know it's like for jaeger or sumn

is it?

[mint hawk]

Get squash and herring then barter for coolerbox

[whole whale]

realistically, I don't know what the barter is/

[ivory merlin]

cooler box bater

[rain wing]

ohhh

[kind cipher]

This might be way too broad of a question given different raid lengths but does anyone know a ballpark estimate how much time passes until most pmcs have left? Interchange in paticular

[rain wing]

still need to get to jaeger l2 don't I/

[whole whale]

wait till about 10-17 mins and there'll be almost no pmc's on most maps

[smoky moth]

nah its basically optional until you want water collector lvl 2

[mint hawk]

10 - 40 mins

[whole whale]

but if you're talking factory, like 5 mins

[rain wing]

ah ok

[mint hawk]

Unless pmc kill scav they have to be on map for 10 minutes to get survived status

[rain wing]

should I keep those uhh

what do you call em

metal parts

[kind cipher]

Alright thanks for the advice everyone, gonna try to scav as a pmc

[smoky moth]

sell

[rain wing]

sell?

ok

[whole whale]

for interchange, about 15 mins give or take, they need the time to exfil safe so about 10-15

[mint hawk]

Wut

[smoky moth]

no gifs :(

[mint hawk]

Rekt

[smoky moth]

damn that's literal confusion tho

[whole whale]

str8 booped

[kind cipher]

The maps a bit calmer when i scav so i wanted to wait until the scav spawns to get movin

[ivory merlin]

scav vest scav bp a respirator and a cap 🙂 and a vpo

[mint hawk]

But then all loot is gone.. terrible strategy tbh

[whole whale]

that's kinda counter active because there's gonna be more scavs you need to deal with rather than pmc's

[mint hawk]

Plus the chance of being wacked by a Pscav

[smoky moth]

i loveeee moonshine Batchest

[marble cipher]

anyone got any good customs sniping spots? Trying to get more into sniping and not sure where to start, so far I’ve just been hanging out around the bridge

[mint hawk]

On top of bus stop next to tank.. or on top of concrete block next to bridge

[whole whale]

sniper ridge?

[mint hawk]

On top of train by big red

[whole whale]

Railroad to Tarkov

[marble cipher]

I’ve tried sniper ridge once… go figure there was another sniper there

I’ll try the train

[whole whale]

wait, you can get on the train?

[fair trench]

why does it feel like everyone i run into on factory is in a team of like 3

[whole whale]

because it prolly is

solo is kinda shitty on factory

[mint hawk]

By jumping on the wooden boxes yeah.. can see Crackhouse upper door and fortress from there

[whole whale]

oh shit, good to know

[rain wing]

god damn I really need to get stash lvl 2

[mint hawk]

Solo factory means you have to play fast and push hard

[rain wing]

ig I'll get there once I unlock the flea

[fair trench]

Also should i keep or sell all dogtags i get?

[mint hawk]

Keep

[whole whale]

yeah, not many people are like that though, from what I've seen.

[smoky moth]

you need to do more quests

[rare osprey]

you can shoot from fortress to crackhouse

[rain wing]

yeah

[smoky moth]

no worries i can get keys and help you

[ivory merlin]

the arrows are the best sniper spots that i see people using for 100m+ headshots

[smoky moth]

[rain wing]

thanks man :)

[celest sage]

Keep for RSASS and a couple tasks

[mint hawk]

rssass barter for tags as well as some quests need em

[whole whale]

idk if I'd personally recommend fortress as it's a hot spot, but all the others are legit

[ivory merlin]

night time my friend:) darkness consumes u

[whole whale]

that's a fair point

[ivory merlin]

espcially that little spot by the train tracks on big red side

[whole whale]

I don't play night time often as I personally find nogs are a little on the pricey side for decent ones anyways

makes sense

[ivory merlin]

i use the pntv10 ones that fit on the dovetail and tatum mount from peacekeaper and if u have diffuclty seeing cuz its green and bitty change it so it looks like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhPPUMPg6R0

[whole whale]

fuck yeah

[rare osprey]

nuuuuu

[whole whale]

fuckin yeah

[rare osprey]

my secret

[inner glacier]

How do the rogues work on lighthouse? I just walked up to the water treartment plant and got absolutely molested by this guy on a machine gun

(i was a scav)

[hazy veldt]

missing big red office camping, easier to defend if you're solo (unless you get naded well )

[rare osprey]

hopefully noone checks this channel, cuz this is broken af

[hazy veldt]

are you bear?

[inner glacier]

nah usec

[ivory merlin]

its been around for a while now

[rare osprey]

ik, but i havent seen/heard of people using it

[whole whale]

the 50's a mystery dog, that shit will snipe you from fuckin lighthouse if it's in a bad mood (not literally)

[ivory merlin]

yer a few streamers do i just cba messing with settings

[ivory merlin]

can do that but not not uch u can do being trapped in big red if group start lashing grenades in the room

[smoky moth]

woods feels like a swamp now wtf

[inner glacier]

is it just the towers I need to avoid?

[ivory merlin]

if ur a bear they agro 250 m

[whole whale]

yeah, when it's raining and cloudy, it looks like shit.

[whole whale]

the buildings are what you need to avoid, that's what the 50's are on

[ivory merlin]

all rouges if u bear stay clear

[whole whale]

I only play usec

[ivory merlin]

🙂 same chose it because of this

[inner glacier]

I am USEC

[ivory merlin]

then u just got way to close buddy they should shout something first but sometimes they will just let rip

[inner glacier]

so how many rogues are there in the water treatment plant? whats the crack with taking them out as a PMC?

[whole whale]

Will do thanks man

[reef ledge]

anyone know why i cant change from 4x to reflex on the HAMR sight?

ive quad-checked my buttons for switching sights/changing zoom...nothing works

does hideout affect ability to change zooms?

[whole whale]

it shouldn't and I'm not sure if the hammr can zoom, I think you just need to change optics

use ctrl+rmb

[ivory merlin]

this^^

[lethal helm]

I wondered the same thing

[reef ledge]

you should be able to change zooms acording to its description

abd i went offline raid and couldnt change to reflex either

[whole thistle]

Did you try both alt right click and ctrl right click?

[whole whale]

yeah you need to put an optic on the top of the hamr to change from zoomed to reflex

and no, it's a 4x only

[reef ledge]

dude.....

[ivory merlin]

need to point the delta point sight inside

[reef ledge]

thats a wonky description and model then. thought forsure it had built in reflex

[whole whale]

I know it says 4x24

but unless it says like

2-4x24

it cant zoom

[ivory merlin]

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

[reef ledge]

thank you my friends

[whole whale]

yeye

[ivory merlin]

nope unfortunately this is russia

[whole whale]

I love being #1 in q

[inner glacier]

this was nothing to do with rogues lol :p

[whole whale]

the first part should have been how to clear them

[ivory merlin]

noiceguy always helpful and uptodate with info

[inner glacier]

Guys do you think it is possible to go from level 20 to level 24 in one day for someone trying reasonably hard but not absolute sweatlording?

[celest sage]

Yes

And if you have gunsmith it’ll take like half an hour

[rare osprey]

tasks and headshots

[inner glacier]

i do.

i'm on the m4 one :p

[celest sage]

Go for it

You make big profit with gunsmith

Too

[smoky moth]

im on the one with the thermal scope thingy

you need to finish Import from mechanic to finish this one

or get LL4 skier

[celest dove]

Did I just get really unlucky or do rogues just eat m80 to the head, for some reason?

270m shot to the head and the fucker just runs away from his hmg like nothing happened

[misty ginkgo]

https://medal.tv/games/escape-from-tarkov/clips/9xKufKuVwpXGw/d13370285PHd?invite=cr-MSxWU28sNDI2MzM0NCw

Can anyone pls tell me where tf he shot me from? I've checked the clip a few times and can't see him at all.

[whole whale]

behind

he shot the wall in the first 7 seconds

above and behind

[misty ginkgo]

Behind what?

I can't see any pixel of him

[quaint onyx]

behind you

[misty ginkgo]

How can he head-eyes me, behind me?

[quaint onyx]

shoot thru the head

[misty ginkgo]

And how would he get so fast behind me.

[inner glacier]

how many gunsmith parts are there?

[misty ginkgo]

16

[inner glacier]

ah well shit, i cant go past number 6 as it needs PK4 and isnt on flea 😦

sad

[misty ginkgo]

What item do you need?

[inner glacier]

RSASS

[misty ginkgo]

Ohhh, see if you can get dog tags for it. There's a barter

[inner glacier]

I'm trying to rush to level 24 so I can juice my hideout, i'm 20 atm, but I've been doing a fair bit of pvp so I have a good arsenal of chad weps

[quaint onyx]

yea i gave up on the rsass part and i probably wont do it this wipe

[inner glacier]

but sadly not that

[misty ginkgo]

It's only 8 of each dogtags.

[inner glacier]

who is it with?

[misty ginkgo]

Peacekeeper

[inner glacier]

can only have PK 2 until lvl 23 :p

[misty ginkgo]

Gotta grind quests 😄

[inner glacier]

I have so many quests available haha

I still havent done the fkin flash drive one from skier

[misty ginkgo]

Time to stack them

[inner glacier]

and i heard thaat some are hidden behind that

[misty ginkgo]

Customs safe run, you'll get it in no time

[inner glacier]

ive been doing that a few times but I guess back in we go

[grizzled shadow]

Anyone know any good akm builds for level 3 traders preferably under 150k?

[misty ginkgo]

What is "good"?

Meta stats?

[grizzled shadow]

If i'm not paying 50k for a grip sure

[misty ginkgo]

You kinda have to, to get good stats.

A good gun is expensive

[arctic zealot]

If you combine subsonic rounds with silencer does it make a diff? Or same noise as with regular rounds and silencer

[worthy cloak]

how do I examine without having to right click and clicking "examine" after

I saw someone do it but i dont know how

[steel basin]

Middle mouse button

@worthy cloak

[worthy cloak]

ty

[whole whale]

watch the trajectory of the second shot

[misty ginkgo]

Uhmmm. I literally can't see it

[stuck glen]

CAn someone help me finish mechcanic level 1?

lol I need the attachements :<

[vagrant cargo]

Why 24 specifically

[quaint onyx]

intel2 and scav case i think

and bit coin farm

[inner glacier]

for certain traders rank 3 so i can upgrade hideout further

Is it inting to use a rank 4 helmet without a visor/extras?

[vagrant cargo]

Won’t you need mechanic 3 for lots of stuff ?

[vagrant cargo]

Yeah loads of ppl use ulach

[inner glacier]

so it isnt inting?

[vagrant cargo]

wait wdym by inting

never heard that term

[inner glacier]

inting = slang for intentionally feeding. i.e. it's a bad thing

[vagrant cargo]

Ohh

Nah

It’s worth using imo

Won’t save u all the time though

Aint an altyn

[quaint onyx]

i have never heard of that either what game is it used on?

[vagrant cargo]

Most ppl run the coyote ulach

[inner glacier]

don't worry! :p

[vagrant cargo]

Protects ears

[inner glacier]

and they use the coyote tan ulach default, without visor etc?

[waxen scarab]

now THAT'S more like it

[vagrant cargo]

You can’t attach stuff on the ulach

[worthy cloak]

whats a GP coin?

[vagrant cargo]

a reference to contract wars

[worthy cloak]

huh

[vagrant cargo]

it’s a coin wdym what is it

barter item, not that valuable but still good for 1slot

[worthy cloak]

oh ok thanks

[vagrant cargo]

it’s still something u should pick up though

[worthy cloak]

ye I got it

[oblique ruin]

is silver badge used in anything or do i just sell it

[quaint onyx]

barter

[oblique ruin]

worth it to sell it or na

[quaint onyx]

it was some m4 if im not mistaken

[oblique ruin]

m4 seems to be cpu fan + cpu

[quaint onyx]

i might be thinking of something else

[oblique ruin]

and this the m4 from mechanic

[quaint onyx]

im thinking of the prokill medallion the silver badge i sonly for collector

[oblique ruin]

ah alr imma sell it then

[rigid prism]

what should I do with my merin car key? I can't seem to sell it on flea

[oblique ruin]

dont sell it

it unlocks a car that has alot of good valuable spawns in it

[rigid prism]

im a bear, I dont think I'll be using it

[oblique ruin]

its not close to the rogue spot

[short elk]

High loot spawn on lighthouse. If you're not interested in that map though, check off "exclude barter offers" on things that you may want for the key (gpu packs, other keys, etc) and you might find a trade for it

[rigid prism]

ah ok thx 🙂

[vagrant cargo]

Unlock pk3

[oblique ruin]

this is where the merin car key is not close to the rogue place

its just an adar stock one aswell except that it has a sight on it

no its normally like that

i dont remember if u could take the front thing off or not

im pretty sure u can

[wispy stratus]

hello all. Help. Should I keep that giant air filter thing or sell

[oblique ruin]

sell

[stuck glen]

Can someone support me in finding the Jaeger camp & extracting

[wispy stratus]

HUh, ok thanks..It is hard to know what to keep what to sell

i have 3 scav boxes full

sell to trader or flea mt

[oblique ruin]

Whatever place buys it for the most

[wispy stratus]

of course. Thanks dawg ahooo

[still hamlet]

is there a limit of the number of backpacks you can stash inside? like backpack-inception? I think I just lost like 10 backpacks now

this new server update shit made some of my items gone 😄

[dusky geyser]

this looks a lot like a scav weapon

they cant spawn with the low-profile gas block iirc, soooo

[celest sage]

Scav guns are always like that

You just have to take off the rear sight and the sight

Front sight only gang

[dusky geyser]

VPO-136 no rear sight gang

discorcl?! i will go there immediately

[tame shard]

wow omg, thank you so much!!!

[worthy cloak]

any good builds to run as a newbie

[inner glacier]

What are the actual uses of a bitcoin?

[pure mist]

To sell

[inner glacier]

to traders?

like, i shouldnt keep hold of them for hideout purposes or?

I see you can't sell on the flea

[quaint onyx]

theres a barter

but its not so good

for a weapon case?

[pure mist]

It’s really bad barter

[inner glacier]

^

[native viper]

yo guys is anyone free to help me organize my stash

[lethal helm]

You can take it off in raid

[whole thistle]

Yes

[bold kernel]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/690775496853684272/937570759352651836/makesweet-2qulkn.gif

[dusky geyser]

is this thing good as a disposable weapon for quest runs, etc?

[bold kernel]

its a good gun

[whole thistle]

Yeah

If you have skier 2 put a dtk muzzle brake on @dusky geyser

[dusky geyser]

i do

[short elk]

The reactor is better than the dtk?

[pure marsh]

Reactor is the new jdam no?

[split ether]

reactor is better. you can also put the best 5.45 suppressor onto the reactor

[pure marsh]

New best in slot

[dusky geyser]

reactor is better, but it's trice as more expensive

[split ether]

all of the barters for bitcoin are so incredibly expensive. say they are average 250k, and weapons case barter is like 10 of them and some gp coins. that’s already more than you would be spending with the mechanic barter for electronics

definitely sell

[pure marsh]

I'm just happy docs cases are cheap

[split ether]

how much are they?

[pure marsh]

300k

[split ether]

that’s about the same they had been

[pure marsh]

This early they're usually more from what I've noticed

[split ether]

true

[pure marsh]

Like mid/late wipe sure. Maybe the loot change made the spawn spike

[bleak vault]

On Labs, are the military stims for Samples only behind card rooms?

[pure marsh]

Kinda. Sanitars room and black/green are good bets

[worthy cloak]

can I do quests as a scav or nah

[pure marsh]

The biohazard area has loose spawns

[pure marsh]

Nope

[worthy cloak]

I wish

this shit too hard man

[pure marsh]

Unless it's getting a fir item

[bleak vault]

Ty for the response

[worthy cloak]

my quest is to get a watch can I do that as a scav?

[pure marsh]

Nope. It'll only spawn for you as a pmc

[worthy cloak]

everytime I go dorms I get like 3 kills just to find out the key in room 205 is gone

rip

[pure marsh]

You can probably farm sanitar for most of them and his goons

They're stim happy

[flat matrix]

Im lvl 21 now and havent found one single gas analyzer or secure flash drive and ive been playing on interchange for a long time now and it seems impossible to find one
