[lusty glacier]

it makes u a big target also

[left summit]

ß´089ipoü-kulö´küjl-+

[smoky moth]

isnt this the biggest backpack?

[vagrant cargo]

if you shot them recently they shoot you

[smoky moth]

or im mistaken

[lusty glacier]

but tbh, if you do moonshine 24/7 you can probably afford to do a big bag run every day or every few days

[smoky moth]

oh its banned on flea

[lusty glacier]

just cos of how many u get

[smoky moth]

65k jesus that is cheap

[fleet epoch]

I literally spawned like 3 minutes before and walked into the base. They just randomly shouted scav and four of them swarmed me. I killed one then two blasted me together

[smoky moth]

might as well keep it

[lusty glacier]

5 blackjacks and 2 raid bags i have from moonshine

[rain wing]

idk what I should do with my handdrill rn

I don't have the money

or the items

to upgrade my stash yet

and it's taking up a bit of space

[smoky moth]

if you're planning to get lvl 15 soon, just sell the hand drill

[lusty glacier]

sellsellsell

[rain wing]

alr

[lusty glacier]

its same price on flea as therapist gives u for it

[rain wing]

ohh aight

[scarlet jetty]

Worth it?

[lusty glacier]

id do it for the armband

lol

[scarlet jetty]

Haven't even seen killa this wipe and it's only worth about 1mil

[lusty glacier]

well u must have interchange quests

so just check the whole parking area

and rest of mall obv

[scarlet jetty]

Is he usually in the parking area?

[pure mist]

YES

[lusty glacier]

the parking area is just as big as the mall so, you should check it

• the indoors parking

[pure mist]

He can be anywhere. But the labs armband really valuable

[pale sinew]

can anyone help me get a measuring tape

[scarlet jetty]

Any recommendations on stuff to run against him? Might just run a VPO-209 with APM or an M1A with M80

[vagrant cargo]

can rogues have consistent behaviour

[cunning shadow]

they do

[vagrant cargo]

its really fucking shit not knowing if theyll shoot you or not half the time

no they dont

[cunning shadow]

yeah they do

if you kill them in 1 raid, itll be around 3 raids before they will stop shooting you

unless you're a bear

then just accept defeat

[vagrant cargo]

fucking hell thats why im saying its inconsistent as shit

[cunning shadow]

[vagrant cargo]

they decide to shoot suddenly sometimes

[pure mist]

Just treat them like they will?

[vagrant cargo]

who knows

[foggy stratus]

M80 will not 1 tap him

[cunning shadow]

they will always shoot on sight if you're a bear

even if you're across the map

[vagrant cargo]

then that makes it shit

[vagrant cargo]

im not

[pure mist]

What?

[vagrant cargo]

if im usec but i need to expect them shooting me whats the point of choosing usec

[cunning shadow]

just extract or die for like 4 raids and they shouldnt shoot you on sight anymore

[vagrant cargo]

i didnt even fucking shoot them

[pure mist]

It’s an ai it’s not easy to fix. Supposedly if you get seen and just stay there they will shoot you

[scarlet jetty]

mhm, but it should 2 tap him in the head

[pure mist]

They don’t just not shoot at usec lol

Supposedly they warn you, then shoot you

[cunning shadow]

you either trespassed or shot at them

not to mention its pretty easy to kill them, just watch a video or something

[pure mist]

They’ll warn you before shooting vs shooting on sight that’s the difference

[jagged salmon]

hey i need help with gunsmith pt.2 i put in all the requirments but still can't turn the gun in

[smoky moth]

screenshots?

[royal mirage]

can u survive 5 minutes dehydrated?

with 100% energy

[smoky moth]

pretty sure that's for jaeger's mission so its possible

[outer vapor]

what here should i get rid of

[zenith tiger]

I am having trouble downloading the game it just never starts downloading any way I can fix this

[scarlet jetty]

Pop a propital and sit in a bush near the extract, best way to do it

[zenith tiger]

Nvm figured it out

[bold kernel]

yo anyone wanna play customs with a noob

[daring stag]

why can I find anyone on interchange? had the whole place to myself like 80% of the time

[bold kernel]

[wet solar]

go to texho, and techlight

[sterile saffron]

First wipe doing better than the person who was training me

[tepid garnet]

surprised I havent seen more people sporting 7.62x54 ps ammo. It has enough damage to 1 shot thorax and pens up to lvl 4 with high pen on lvl 5 and 6

its also a lower level trader

[wet solar]

its strong yes, i see a lot of ppl run svds with it

[glossy gale]

People are dickheads lmao

Voip isn’t always so great

Especially when you’re not trying to lose rep but they don’t care

[wild raptor]

Yo me and my friend are having problems farming the rogues can anyone help? I've watch the videos but they really do not help

[smoky moth]

alright gonna do my first labs run

[glossy gale]

Gl

It’s fun

Sometimes

[smoky moth]

got a quest that had tank battery and have to extract twice

i need it for prapor

good right

surv12 and vaseline on beta as well

[glossy gale]

Just shit on everyone, pick up ledx, kill a guy and pick up his red keycard he left in his inv, kill 8 raiders, full inv, leave

Gg go next

[smoky moth]

might just die to a scav raider lmao

[glossy gale]

Naa

[smoky moth]

[glossy gale]

As long as they’re not angry

They’re horrible but insane at the same time

[smoky moth]

gonna do one offline run first to learn the loot and extract

[glossy gale]

Smart lmao

[smoky moth]

labs card is consumed at the start of the raid right

[still hamlet]

there are no requirements mentioned

what do I need to do to start this quest?

[tough oyster]

Is there anything profitable I can craft using meds? I have a lot of meds

[pure marsh]

Use tarkov guru

It shows profit for each workstation

[bold kernel]

where's some good places to find gas cans

i needa start crafting shit

[smoky moth]

oh wow

extracted and 2 raiders killed

[smoky moth]

stashes mostly

you can find them as ground loot too but that's rare

[hidden mauve]

Does anyone know if the mission "The Hermit" for Jaeger is bugged? I have went to the little house he had carved into the wall with the note at the door, i extracted and the mission says i havent found the hideout but ive given jaeger the note... ive been back on wandering around but cant find anything else

[smoky moth]

not bugged for me

try verifying the game

clearing cache and stuff

if it doesnt work just bug report to bsg

[dim vector]

does anyone have the rb-st key? id love to tag along i just need to mark the tank in that room and thats wall i want

dont want to spend 2mil on the key

[hidden mauve]

Ok, Thank you

[valid trout]

i got merin and hillside house key

[jovial juniper]

i accidently unbound my mouse 1 key tryna rebind voip and I spawned in that little nook near the hall on factory right next to another pmc, I turn the corner into him with my ppsh and armour, i aim and him, click. nothing. he shoots me in the face. the end

[whole crest]

FINALLY

AFTER 40 SCAV FACTROY RUNS I GOT MY FIRST PM PISTOL

[brisk oak]

good for you

[odd glen]

For punisher 5?

[smoky moth]

first labs run and its super fucking quiet

[gloomy heart]

Anyone willing to be my shoreline guide? got a shit ton of quests to do there and super unfamiliar with the map

[smoky moth]

jesus christ the ambient noise sounds like a fucking horror game

[glossy gale]

Wait why is fuel so much more expensive

[lunar haven]

is gunsmith part 9 bugged?

[smoky moth]

second run not so well

head eyes moment

[tough oyster]

how are these cash prices for the barters calculated?

on tarkov guru

[plush rivet]

yo what do you do with the epsilon container you get from punisher if you already have EOD

[valid trout]

Keep it

Or use it

Or wait till fence gives u the task

[plush rivet]

"the task"?

[rough scarab]

There’s a task for fence where you hand in the epsilon

[plush rivet]

lvl 60

rip

[glossy gale]

Just made my first play against a juiced pmc as a scav before lmao

eh maybe not so juiced nvm

ps ammo in his guns, nice guns though

shit guns but very modded

[hidden oxide]

does anyone have an expensive build I can do? Trying to practice pvp but all I know are budget builds lol

[zealous mauve]

no armor, no helmet, sks, ps ammo

VERY $$$$

[hidden oxide]

ha.

[cerulean hawk]

what do i do

[hidden oxide]

laughing really hard at your "joke"

[zenith tiger]

Does anyone know why my internet keeps disconnecting when I try to download EFT

Never happened to me before I tried downloading it

[magic wing]

how do u dounload the quick starter

like other games?

[zenith tiger]

Wdym

[magic wing]

you know

when you play a game you just rpess the icon two times

then it launches

i think i forgot to sett to instal it

[red palm]

keep the pistol, you may need it for a jaeger quest FIR

you can also just grab an other one, when you get the quest

your choice

the quest will ask you to kill reshala and give the pistol

basically

[remote steppe]

i just did the pier and cottages part of this quest and extracted and it wasnt a run through???

[red palm]

i hope so

[remote steppe]

do i have to to all three in the same raid?

[red palm]

pretty much

[bold kernel]

Yes you have to do them all in the same raid.

[remote steppe]

ok

[glossy gale]

Wtf do you even use g28 for

lmao

[bold kernel]

Use it to waste money

[zealous mauve]

I had the opposite happen when I found the secret water in the dorms for therapist, got killed before I extracted and it still counted

[ivory merlin]

just use it and insure it people dont even want it an ymore got it back from insurance yesterday u can get the gun from jager for 297k

[zealous mauve]

thats not true I want it

[glass lantern]

it's the best MR in the game

[remote steppe]

people dont want urs because it has horrible attachments

[ivory merlin]

ive just been using the aks and umps and ocassianlly the mutant(found in stash)

[glass lantern]

ok? none of those are MRs tho?

[ivory merlin]

nope 🙂

[ivory merlin]

gotit off a quest reward from peacekeeper i think ...

[remote steppe]

put a better sight and foregrip and then people will want it

[ivory merlin]

fair enuf tbf i did take it to customs so theres that didnt realise how zoomed in the sight would be

[remote steppe]

yeaeh theres only a few scopes in the game that aren't super super zoomed in

[golden hinge]

What do you mean by zoomed? I know quite a few that I don't consider very zoomed in.

[ivory merlin]

yh i just filtered by item and went in super to juist run around for me daily cuz it was all just sat there not getting used

[ivory merlin]

x14

[remote steppe]

3x is too zoomed for me

[ivory merlin]

top scope x1 bottom x3+x12

[golden hinge]

Spectre, Valday, Vudu, Tac30, Acog Sights

[golden hinge]

3x is very minimal zoom range for a 'scope'

there are very many reflex sights

and the monstrum is super clean for a 2x

[remote steppe]

true

[ivory merlin]

just tried that switching to that sigfht from now on thankyou

[golden hinge]

np :)

[ivory merlin]

i run nvgs for questing so having the ability to switch it is a god send to me do u know of any others that i can do that with

[golden hinge]

switch the sight from red to black?

[ivory merlin]

yh i know one sniper scope does it cant remember what it is tho last time used it was last wipe

[golden hinge]

pso scope, and the 1p59 and 1p69 do

[ivory merlin]

thanks alot

[golden hinge]

np

this one doesn't switch, but u might like it anyways

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

[ivory merlin]

thankyou 🙂

[bold kernel]

[whole crest]

FOR KILLING A SCAV

[remote steppe]

huh

[whole crest]

I HAD 8 fence rep

[remote steppe]

how tf do you get 8 fence rep

[whole crest]

its easy

[stable notch]

Could anyone help me with some reserve quests? ive got on in the pawn building and in the bunker, but i have no clue about the bunkers or exfil apart from manhole

[dire monolith]

no sorry

[true citrus]

looking for someone to help with some interchange quests

[warm minnow]

whats the difference between "awaiting session start" and "waiting for players"

[tepid garnet]

Awaiting session start is waiting for the server to open. Waiting for player is waiting for other people in your server to load map, items, etc.

basically waiting for players is to make sure everybody starts at the same time

[lyric oracle]

Im a new player looking for people to run with . HMU

[tall thicket]

Join us over at LFG Beginners #7 if you'd like! I may be getting off soon however!

[lyric oracle]

Its full 😦

[warm minnow]

sweet thanks

[worldly shoal]

does EOD give you all of the future DLC?

[tepid garnet]

Yes

[tepid garnet]

Never stand still on scav runs. I dont trust anyone. And if they headshot you youre done

Just like you should never stand still on scav pmc extract because people will try and trick you so they can headshot you in extract

[worldly shoal]

thank you

[sullen birch]

what key do i need for big red

[whole crest]

its time to extract camp for svds

[hot plinth]

tarcone directors office key

[smoky moth]

if you have above 6 rep and you kill a scav, your rep will return back to 6

its to prevent high rep players killing other scavs because they wont lose a lot

[whole crest]

It was an accident rip

[smoky moth]

sadge

[modest geyser]

What’s like the best way to level up to 15 really quickly?

[bold kernel]

complete tasks

[whole crest]

Does anyone have a cqc svds build

[warm minnow]

is it normal that other sounds seem to get quieter when hearing sounds like walking and looting? like the wind noticeably decreases when im moving loudly etc

[modest geyser]

Are you able to help me with some I’m lvl 12 but every time I join I just get 2 tapped

[warm minnow]

like some kind of loudness equalization.. and its fucking driving me crazy

[grizzled isle]

how are the Poleva 6us

damn

[whole crest]

Booty ammo

[tough oyster]

can the rfb use a light

[hazy veldt]

No, unfortunately.
Only laser via holosun as well.

[night vigil]

what is the 114 key spawn rate?

[cyan apex]

F

[night vigil]

been here 10 times no key

[main brook]

will the old gas extract spawn if someone is camping it?

[cyan apex]

did u spawn on him?

[hazy veldt]

You can also get it fairly often in jackets in dorms on scav f. Ex.

[tulip mason]

need some one to help me with search mission please and thank you

[cyan apex]

every spawn does extract thats why they are camped

but not every spawn works for everyone

u gotta look at the signs to know if it's open for YOU

like green smoke

[hazy veldt]

Tap O a few times (or rebind to press), to check if you have it as a possible extract, then see if green smoke is there.

[cyan apex]

^^

check smoke and stuff for those extract which have ???? on them

if there is nothing its 100% open

[night vigil]

is it better to do that than search the car for the 114 key?

[hazy veldt]

Do both, depending on where you spawn as scav.

[night vigil]

ok cool

will do that if I ever load in XD

at 8:30 now awaiting start

[coral osprey]

Why would a scope with mount be red ? But still attached to a rifle

[main brook]

how cani give myself the pain effect

[warm minnow]

just found rbst key? seems like a good one?

[reef arrow]

it's a good key and you're gonna need it for a quest

[pure marsh]

Dehydration or a fracture

[vital oasis]

How do I get better at combat

Or game sense

Or something

To die less

[coarse raptor]

use shotgun to help make up for lack of aim 🙃

[dire rock]

figure out what your playstyle is and master it, if your the sneaky type like me then learn the maps and vantage points and keep a low profile while using various angles to kill people without them seeing you, or if your the more aggressive type and like the straight up firefights then i hope you have good reaction time and accuracy

[vital oasis]

i kinda like sniping lol

[dire rock]

same

i can help you if you prefer the sneaky shit

[tall thicket]

For a better aim in general? You can try aim labs.

Your type of combat is also a massive factor in how you can engage in firefights. You can play sneaky, play to the advantage of element of surprise. You can pop stimulants, rush the enemy while they're hurt or healing or reloading, and neutralize them via such methods then.

Running head on with big boy armor doesn't excuse that most individual players run armor-piercing rounds around this point in wipe, at least most people will if above level 20.

Generally, try sticking around people you know that have similar playstyles and try to replicate such style if it feels comfortable to play with. It's like art, and hanging around other artists to get a feel for their style of art.

[jaunty spire]

eu servers ded?

[dire rock]

maintenance

[tall thicket]

Maintenance.

[jaunty spire]

bruhhhh

[tall thicket]

#eft-announcements

[jaunty spire]

fucked up my scav raid

[vital oasis]

i think my aim is okay. i feel like a lot of times i die before i see anyone tbh. firefights are kinda 50/50

[placid lodge]

Can I buy screws of anyone tmr

[vague iris]

WOW

[placid lodge]

im like down bad for them

[vague iris]

gennies on

[glass lantern]

what if i left my generator on?

[coarse raptor]

I'm trying to learn snipers right now, getting used to switching between two different sights and of course how much of a lead I need depending on distance

[vital oasis]

ive played fps games for a long time but this game is obv diff

[vital oasis]

switching is cool i bound it to my mouse button

[smoky moth]

recoilless weapons

[vital oasis]

valo haha

[dire rock]

firefights are very random, mostly influenced by ping or who gets the lucky shot its why i stick to more covert means of killing people

[placid lodge]

I'll give 100k for 8 screws

like please

[vital oasis]

i like that best i think

[coarse raptor]

I botched many attempts to snipe at shoreline, I don't think a single shot was close yet. I don't understand what the zeroing stuff means/does. Using like page up/down to change from like I think 25 up to idk 300?

[dire rock]

im always open to helping you out if youd like, otherwise i recommend looking at operatordrewski's videos i learned basically everything i know from him

[tall thicket]

Unfortunately, you can't trade around these parts, or on the discord.

You can go Factory as a scav or PMC with a free 1x1 slot in your secure container or inventory and rush the toolbox container in bottom floor of the Office area and the technical crate in Tagilla's Lair by the medical tent ramp zone.

[tall thicket]

Using a rangefinder may help you if you're having trouble with zeroing in on targets.

[placid lodge]

im level 8 idk where any oh that is T>T

[tall thicket]

The tan 30mm scope mount has rails at the top that can equip rangefinders. They are around 27K from Jaeger but I don't remember what level he sells, most likely a high level unfortunately.

[vital oasis]

that would be cool. maybe sometime next weekend midterms rn haha what server are you

[tall thicket]

On flea market I remember the rangefinder going for almost 70K+ so you need to probably work on Jaeger level.

[dire rock]

zeroing your scope to a distance wont magically make your bullets hit there that not how ballistics work but it does help some people

[dire rock]

korea, so i cant go in raid with you but i can always hop into a vc and help out

really wish i wasnt stuck here, kinda makes it hard to be helpful

[tall thicket]

It depends on the map you're playing. Woods is practically a "You see them, they're dead. They see you? You're dead."

Tomorrow, if you're free, you can join me in an LFG Beginner's Assistance lobby if you'd like and I can throw you in with me and a few others to learn some combat on Shoreline's tight corridors.

[hazy veldt]

Zeroing moves the dot on the scope to respective range.
So 100 zero = dot on enemy head at 100m = bullet land on dot.

[dire rock]

i dont think it works like that

at least if it does it shouldnt

[fierce tendon]

is it a bot move to auto org your stash or do real men just sort it?

[hazy veldt]

You can test it in offline with rangefinder I guess.

[vital oasis]

that would be cool

[hazy veldt]

It's inefficient since it piles everything at top.

[vital oasis]

that would be awesome too :))

[dire rock]

just let me know

[vital oasis]

yeah running woods is trash

[coarse raptor]

Does zeroing apply to like holo sights or is it like a scopes thing? (Sorry if this is dumb question, total gun/fps newbie)

[vital oasis]

every single time i get wrecked by random people

[dire rock]

just scopes

[vital oasis]

have had 1 good woods run this wipe

[smoky moth]

i sort useful stuff to the bottom, and keep the top empty because i can quick unload stuff from my scav run

i use auto org when my stash is level 1

because fucking hell its so limited

[coarse raptor]

I hold off on sorting it until its just fucking cluttered and full, at which point I'll get some tunes lined up and its inventory management time

also bags in bags in bags and rigs to hold stuff

[tall thicket]

Woods is great. I love Woods.

It's a nice quiet place to listen to the sound of distant explosions, unsuppressed weaponry, and panicked running around Mountain Rock as I sip sparkling water and do literally nothing but fire off LM AP. It was a fun time last wipe.

[mossy locust]

Sounds pretty role-play

[tall thicket]

I just sat up at Mountain Rock and shot whoever was shooting loud weaponry from up there with a lapua, it was mostly me and two others while we just talked about the most stupidest things.

We had a five man roll up one day though and kill us clean cause they caught us off guard lol.

[mossy locust]

Easy map to get caught off guard

[tall thicket]

Absolutely, Woods is a great solo map though.

Groups will tend to rustle bushes a ton.

[pure marsh]

I used to snipe with NotRedd on reserves. Same vibes

[mossy locust]

Woods can make lots on scav as well actually

[tall thicket]

Of course.

The moonshine spawns in the cabin are a great source of money.

You can grab two moonshines in two of the three cabins at the sawmill if they haven't been hit already and if you haven't pissed off Shturman and his boys.

As a scav, of course.

[mossy locust]

Yeah and the attachments by shturmans car in between the back of the truck and his SUV right in the grass

Good suppressor and scope spawn

If you are lucky

Then inside the warehouse nearest his vehicle you've got all those metal shelves good tier tech spawns there

[tall thicket]

I've found so many grizzlies in those shelves.

Always good medical supply spawns there.

I've got two cameras from those shelves before in the past and I was surprised such high-value items spawn there randomly sometimes.

[pure marsh]

And violet card in the SVU

If you're lucky of course

[simple moss]

if you go MIA DO YOU GET YOUR INSURED ITEMS BACK?

[hazy veldt]

I think so?

[edgy ledge]

what ammo should i use in akm. Feels bad loading a 200 smthing k gun with starter ps ammo

is there any better alternative or is ps just best?

[hazy veldt]

At 18, your option is PS.

Since BP requires Prapor LL3 and Punisher Part 5 done.

[brittle canyon]

or workbench 3

[hazy veldt]

Workbench 3 is even further at level 30.

because Mechanic LL3 requirement.

[edgy ledge]

but ps is good enough to chad with right?

[hazy veldt]

Yes, but also No.
You need multiple shots.

[barren sapphire]

hopefully they fix solar in this downtime

[edgy ledge]

well i spray outta 70 round mags and have a nice grip and stuff so that s what i ll be doing

worked fine enough yesterday

[hazy veldt]

if you fullauto, then it's enough yes.

[robust robin]

Prone jitter clicking a 75 round sks

[edgy ledge]

the reload on that must be nuts xd

1 min of shooting 5 of putting in bullets

[hazy veldt]

If you need more than 75 rounds for SKS... 😄

[hazy veldt]

What you can do is if you're getting low, throw the drum on the ground and use normal mag / 2nd drum from backpack or rig (if you have a 2x2 slot one)

That said, I don't like SKS.

[edgy ledge]

me too im ass with it

i use that 209 ak

[hazy veldt]

I don't like it because VeprKM and 7.62 AK's exist.

[edgy ledge]

ap rounds go brrrr

[edgy ledge]

oh yeah that too

aks are so cheap to mod theres no use to sks

[hazy veldt]

Even unmodded, fresh VeprKM has better MOA than SKS iirc.

[robust robin]

Who cares about moa when you have irons

[hazy veldt]

Uhh...

[edgy ledge]

isn't moa the bullet deviation?

[robust robin]

Is anyone actually using sks for sniping

[hazy veldt]

It's popular budget choice for beginners for some reason.

[edgy ledge]

hella cheap, no need for mags/rigs

[robust robin]

Nah for like 100m sniping its fine

[edgy ledge]

used it 2 wipes, now i hate it

[hazy veldt]

With just internal mag, SKS is very risky for PVP, unless your aim is great.

While VeprKM is 30 clicks + decent reload speed with a mag.

[robust robin]

You can get 20 rohnd mags from pk1 btw

[hazy veldt]

they drive cost up radically.

[edgy ledge]

also less recoil don t quote me on that\

[hazy veldt]

and then it's like why aren't you going veprKM with trader1 mods instead?

[edgy ledge]

and better sights with bastion cover

sks irons are ass imo

[hazy veldt]

they're 75$ each, so almost 10k a mag.

granted, most people won't take them, since vendor price is low, so you often get them back from insurance.

[edgy ledge]

pff 5 k more and u get bastion+sight

[robust robin]

Dollars are monopoly money

[edgy ledge]

not early

[hazy veldt]

I don't follow.

dollars are just rubles in a different form, it's fairly easy to convert one way or the other once you have flea.

[robust robin]

Yoy get tons from quests and safes

[hazy veldt]

but the point is that once you add 2-3 mags, that makes the sks cost quite high.

[hazy veldt]

and you can turn them into rubles via Flea at 15.

[robust robin]

Nope you cant

[hazy veldt]

Yes you can.

[brittle canyon]

mags are like 3k tho

[hazy veldt]

sks mags are 75$?

[brittle canyon]

u said vepr

[hazy veldt]

...

my bad.

[edgy ledge]

yeah but the discussion was veprkm vs sks

[robust robin]

Do you even have flea

[brittle canyon]

yea

vepr is better

[hazy veldt]

Yes.

[frail cipher]

u can mod vepr with lower recoil

so its better

[brittle canyon]

as long as you can afford a rig

[frail cipher]

obviously

[robust robin]

Because whos gonna buy dollars for rubles on flea

[vapid beacon]

Do GPU disappear or something when I put it in my Bitcoin farm?

[frail cipher]

Me

[brittle canyon]

can you even put up raw dollars on flea

[smoky moth]

you can still take it out

FIR gpus can still have the status

[hazy veldt]

Euros are a lot easier, since people need them for solar/quest, but people also sell stuff for dollars that vendors for more rubles, at times.

[smoky moth]

i do

on peacekeeper

[vapid beacon]

@smoky moth Does GPUs deplete like water filters do? Like if you leave it in there long enough, it disappears

[robust robin]

You cant convert dollars to rubles on flea

[frail cipher]

gunsmith is a free like 8k rubles

[smoky moth]

so i can buy dollar exclusive

[smoky moth]

oh you mean that

i thought roubles to dollars

[frail cipher]

No, but I think it's planned eventually.

[smoky moth]

nope

[robust robin]

This

[vapid beacon]

So I can just leave it in there forever?

[smoky moth]

if they do, its fucked up nerfed

[hazy veldt]

rubles for dollars you should buy diaries/magnetic drives/etc that vendor to PK higher than buying dollars from him directly.

[frail cipher]

Well theres been talk about it for the last 5 wipes, but never any solid response from devs so

[vapid beacon]

So like I can leave it in my Farm forever and when I need quick cash I just take it out and sell it on Flea?

[smoky moth]

250k per gpu, 120k per 21 hours and you only get 250k back

[hazy veldt]

shrug, I've converted thousands of dollars into rubles on flea, idk what to tell you.

[smoky moth]

yes

[vapid beacon]

I thought GPU depletes like water filters do 😂

[smoky moth]

fuck no

if that happens im never building one

[vapid beacon]

Yeah, this is my first wipe with maxed hideout btw

[unique steeple]

What 💀

[smoky moth]

i still have solar panel and water collector 3 and booze generator missing

LULW

[frail cipher]

I only use hideouts for wire craft so i can barter 4 weapons cases

[hazy veldt]

It's easier with Euros, but people sell items that are at or below vendor price in rubles, for dollars.

So you buy it for dollars and vendor for rubles.

you just use required search on your dollar stack and check if there's anything listed.

[robust robin]

You worded it like it was a direct conversion from dollars to roubles

[unique steeple]

U did tbf

[hazy veldt]

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[unique steeple]

Nah it’s a good idea

[smoky moth]

tbh why even convert dollars to roubles, the most you have is probably roubles and dollars are mostly used by peacekeeper

[hazy veldt]

Sometimes there's too many dollars/euros and you want more rubles

[smoky moth]

its the exact opposite for me

[hazy veldt]

There's basically arbitrage opportunities with ruble:euro stuff on the flea, because flea undervalues euro prices when you list things...

[smoky moth]

oh wow no wonder i keep seeing euros listing

[hazy veldt]

well people also need 50k for Mentor quest.

[fervent swift]

75k solar, 50k mentor

But don't do mentor until you get 3 in sniper

Unless going for psycho sniper

[opal locust]

out of reserve, shoreline, lighthouse and interchange which one is more beginner friendly?

[edgy ledge]

i prefer interchange

[modest cargo]

Depends what u tryna do just do loot runs?

[oblique ruin]

Interchange and shoreline 2nd

[edgy ledge]

extracts are easy to find and the mall isnt that hard to navigate

[oblique ruin]

Shoreline is amazing for cache running

[edgy ledge]

hate that map i think chads are everywhere

i also dont know it at all so im stuck on signal

[oblique ruin]

If u get a spawn at path to customs u got a good spot to cache run

[opal locust]

im just trying to avoid really geared players

[oblique ruin]

The swamp is a 50/50 some times its contested with snipers and sometimes not

[modest cargo]

Loothouse is good most players there are doing pistol runs

[edgy ledge]

that map seems like ai sniper heaven

[robust robin]

Fighting pistolings is easy until you realise they have a 5.7

[fervent swift]

5.7 sent you to heaven

[ember light]

how do you know what weapon mods are worth keeping in raid? i see a lot of them but never sure if its worth it

[smoky moth]

silencers / scopes worth the most

[hazy veldt]

you memorize the high value times over time, pretty much.
Or have tarkov-market open on 2nd window/background.

[ember light]

so no point picking up the other stuff? or still pick them up and just sell at trader

[ember light]

what are the high value items in the first place though

[upbeat elk]

Items that u can sell for quite a nice sum lol. You will learn in time

Too many to just list them

[smoky moth]

i do throw away other attachments

[edgy ledge]

any item around 10k + per slot

[near tree]

why is quests on custom so hard to do for beginners 😦

[dusky geyser]

as a rule of thumb - streamer items

[upbeat elk]

They're not hard. What do u have problems with and why?

[dusky geyser]

most are easy 20k pet slot

[smoky moth]

a lot of barter items are expensive

[edgy ledge]

items with purple backrounds

condensed milk and sugar for whatever reason

[smoky moth]

could be cause of kiba barter trade key

[near tree]

mostly keep dying to other pmc while trying to make it to the exit, choke points on this map

[upbeat elk]

Condensed milk sells for 15k to therapist. Sugar is made to craft moonshine.

[smoky moth]

this explains the oakflakes high in price

i regret throwing them

[ember light]

ah purpe backgrounds is a good shout - thanks

[upbeat elk]

Well, that's just the game in general, not quest specific.

[edgy ledge]

also stuff u need for hideout, i usually make a mental "shopping list" and shove them in alpha

[ember light]

i think ive hoarded too much junk haha

[edgy ledge]

yeah, try to work towards scav case, must buy

therapist sells it for 1 mil

[hazy veldt]

https://tarkov-market.com/progression/items-interactive can help.

[upbeat elk]

tarkovtracker.io - very good site where it shows what u need to keep for quests/hideout and u can track it

[edgy ledge]

SERVERS ARE UP

[smoky moth]

fr?

[near tree]

is making moonshrine in hideout not worth it?

[edgy ledge]

YEP

can i tag everyone?

or do i get banned

[upbeat elk]

Its worth

[hazy veldt]

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

[smoky moth]

you can't tag lmao

[upbeat elk]

Dont ever tag everyone... wtf would u do that

[hazy veldt]

sugar price spike killing it though.

[edgy ledge]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[smoky moth]

it would be crazy if everyone is enabled in a 300k discord server

[upbeat elk]

Its such an annoying shit when people just use "here" all the time

[smoky moth]

it wont ping

it just shows the message

smh

send it

i dare you

[edgy ledge]

not gonna test it

[smoky moth]

ok then i'll do it

[opal locust]

servers are back up

[smoky moth]

@everyone

see

no pings

[edgy ledge]

biting the bullet there

thin fkinf ice

[smoky moth]

why would they ban me for sending a harmless everyone that just has a blue background lol

[edgy ledge]

LESSS GOOOOOOOO

[upbeat elk]

because power

[smoky moth]

standard edition moment

[smoky moth]

cringe if they do that

[upbeat elk]

u think discords mods aren't cringe most of the time?

[smoky moth]

they're fine

[edgy ledge]

holy fk my 5 sj1 sold in 10 seconds

[upbeat elk]

I got different experiences mostly

[hazy veldt]

Prapor fuel barter is up~

[edgy ledge]

ur a life saver

[upbeat elk]

Yo who bought out all of the cutters

[jaunty spire]

uh

yes

[edgy ledge]

THEY ADDED THEM

scav quests

[jaunty spire]

I too am a fan of random numbers and letters

[edgy ledge]

well they fked it up but it still counts

[rough mist]

What do i need to do? xd

[hazy veldt]

[jaunty spire]

uh

i too wonder

[edgy ledge]

my man leaked ur ip

[jaunty spire]

ah yes

thank you fence

[hazy veldt]

🤔 do I want to pay 500k for 30k exp...

just kidding, don't have LL4 therapist anyway.

[rough mist]

Interesting ip adress

[short hare]

guys i can't play the game

there's no servers to select

[hazy veldt]

Why are my weekly quests always such trash.

[hazy veldt]

auto and just hit play?

[short hare]

I did but then wasted 10 min in que and still didn't find a match

it's like my launcher is bugged

[smoky moth]

anyone can translate the message sent on #eft-announcements ?

[hazy veldt]

@bstategames Translation: Rijiy, you got really lucky. You dont have to hide all the time. There is a way to get out from fence’s blacklist, it is like amnesty but better. But there is one thing. As I got told, you would have to work for somebody. I dont know what they mean by it (1/2)

Twitter · Feb 3, 2022, 10:31 AM

[barren sapphire]

so its going to be a way to fix your shitty fence karma after the christmas event

[smoky moth]

image above

ASI is kinda fucked, my ping fluctuates a lot with it

[hazy veldt]

same for me, should be auto (euro) and hit play, works for me:

[pallid gulch]

same for me, but this is kinda frustrating cause not all ASI servers for me have good ping

[hazy veldt]

auto means it should automatically go for best ping for you.

[smoky moth]

ppl complaining about bad ping on #eft-chat tho

[jaunty spire]

what difference does an eyecup make?

[dusky geyser]

bunch of ergo

[barren sapphire]

they ususally give you more ergonomics, but you see less "around" your scope.

so its a tradeoff between ergo and peripheral vision

[dusky geyser]

yeah

[worldly field]

is this worth buying for 70 k?

[barren sapphire]

im personally not a fan of the 5.56 AKs currently. Especially for beginners

[worldly field]

ok ty

[smoky moth]

ah

[barren sapphire]

This wipe automatic rifles have huge recoil. In the early game its therefore better to take something semi automatic. And 7.62 weapons perform better in semi auto (on average).

So either go for an AK that fires 7.62 or go the secret OP way of buying a VPO-209 and firing AP ammo that oneshots everyone to the chest

[dusty tendon]

Where could i find jack daniels and tarcola ?

[barren sapphire]

afaik jack daniels can be crafted

tarcola in goshan on interchange, or the 2 supply crates near the helicopter on reserve

[dusty tendon]

darn i dont k,now interchange or rtserve yet

time to learn i guess

[barren sapphire]

gimme a sec

Heres an easy/safe/quick scav run on reserve. At around the 2:00 minute mark, he shows the crates which are part of the scav run

https://youtu.be/Chlk3X-YFg8

Spam that on your scav to find the cola, and make big money

[dusty tendon]

@barren sapphirealso umm the

waht level doi need to be to craft

the daniels

[barren sapphire]

Nutrition unit lvl3, but it also spawns on the scav run i posted

(but it has a lower spawn chance in general)

[dusty tendon]

hmm ok dope

[barren sapphire]

Now the important question is, did they fix solar power now

[dusty tendon]

no idea

im poor xD so this may help; me get money aswell aha

just want to fix my scav rep xD

[barren sapphire]

Yeah knowing a quick/safe money route (as scav) is one of the best things you can learn as a beginner. With a steady cash flow, running expensive gear isnt as intimidating anymore

[knotty palm]

Should I take bear or usec

[dusky geyser]

usec is objectively better because lighthouse

bear has cooler clothes

and are russian

your choice

[knotty palm]

Well im learning russian so

[dusky geyser]

good choice

[knotty palm]

What about those gameplay effects?

[dusky geyser]

they're not implemented right now

[dusty tendon]

whats better about lighouse ?

[dusky geyser]

there's a faction occupying the water treatment plant that shoot bears on sight

rogue usecs

[dusty tendon]

ah

[nocturne phoenix]

i swear to fucking god! if i do not get a quest to recover the 1.5 rep i lost with fence cause of this shit santa event cause im posative rep i will love my shit

[dusky geyser]

pmc usecs will still be shot if they're provoking the rogues but it's a nice bonus

[barren sapphire]

so far it seems only people with negative fence rep get the quest. But this could change any second

[nocturne phoenix]

i seriosuly hope so or i quit tarkov honestly that would piss me off so much

ill just start killing everyone i see as a scav and fuck off my fence rep cause whats point if they just gunna pamper to those bad scavs

cause all this means is those bad scavs will have free range to refresh all there bad karma all over again without worrying about ai killing them

[barren sapphire]

I just find this whole thing stupid honestly.

When the christmas event came out, it was very clear "do not kill santa. Youll lose rep!"

some people chose to still kill santa, in order to get a ton of loot. And they should deal with the consequences of that choice.

this easy way to gain your rep back just means the people WHO DIDNT kill santa are fucked now and should have killed santa instead

[nocturne phoenix]

exactly!! and not only that the people who are really good scavs like myself who may of killed santa by once accidently get a huge middle finger

[barren sapphire]

its just BSG giving in to crybabies who couldnt live with the consequences of their actions

[pure talon]

what for? backpack and a hat?

[grizzled isle]

why?

[odd falcon]

i got a big problem

when i am playing

[nocturne phoenix]

instead of a quest why not make it so if they behave and get out they get 0.02 instead

[odd falcon]

my mouse gets on my second monitor

[barren sapphire]

tell that to the 7 graphics cards I got from killing santa

[odd falcon]

and it is fullscreen enabled

[nocturne phoenix]

i wouldent be so pissed off thehn cause it means they still have to ebhave in order to do so

[upbeat elk]

Imagine being pissed and leaving the game over fence rep. lul

[pure talon]

🤣

[barren sapphire]

yeah fence rep is incredibly unimportant. Thats why i farmed santa and got so much shit

[nocturne phoenix]

its not the fence rep its the catering to people who are assholes and not the people who have activly tried to be good scavs

[barren sapphire]

Rushing his spawn point so his bag is full, killing him and extracting with his full bag

[upbeat elk]

Who cares. +1 fence rep won't save them

[nocturne phoenix]

should of been a universal boost not just for santa killers

[barren sapphire]

*should have

[upbeat elk]

No. Why would i get a free +1 fence rep

[barren sapphire]

There should be better risks/rewards for being a hostile SCAV. it should be a choice that makes sense depending on the situation. Right now the downsides to being a bad scav can be completly ignored

[dire eagle]

You have to enable voip in a different setting, as it is disabled by default

[mighty void]

Is there a new fence quest?

[barren sapphire]

yes, if you have negative fence karma you get a quest to regain +1 karma

[mighty void]

Only negative :/ would be so cool for positive one lol

[barren sapphire]

it could very well be for positive aswell. BSG is notorious for fucking up the release of new content

but right now it seems only for negative

[grizzled isle]

how

[dire eagle]

Sound settings iirc

[grizzled isle]

also what would be the best round for double barrel

[dire eagle]

There should be a tick box for voip

[mighty void]

That's cool for people who accidentally killed Santa, but for scav who kill other scav at airdrop it'd just unfair

[grizzled isle]

got it

[barren sapphire]

yeah as I said. people who deliberately made the choice to ruin their scav karma shouldnt get an easy way out now

[grizzled isle]

so, what would be the most effective non flea shell for double barrel shotty

also my traders are lvl 1

[barren sapphire]

express buckshot for headshots.
flechette (craftable at workbench lvl2) for chestshots

Your hideout should be running 24/7 anyways. And then you can take the empty fuel container and craft that into flechette (to either use, or sell on the flea once you hit lvl15)

[odd falcon]

I cant play the game right now because my mouse travels to my 2nd screen and always tabs out. Does someone know a solution?

[barren sapphire]

try to tab into the game, then hit alt+enter until you get fullscreen

[grizzled isle]

simply disable second monitor, its only a nuisance when gaming anyways, atleast in tarkov

[upbeat elk]

2nd monitor is insanely good specifically for Tarkov, wdym

[grizzled isle]

what do you need it for tho

[upbeat elk]

Maps, sharing screen

[odd falcon]

simply turning it of does not work. I need to pull the plug

[barren sapphire]

having the stream open of the streamer youre trying to streamsnipe lul

[dire eagle]

Dont click the link boyos its removed (:

[odd falcon]

what even is the difference between fullscreen and fullscreenwindowed

if there is non

[barren sapphire]

windowed-borderless still has to render all the shit "behind" the game screen, so its more load on your GPU

[dire eagle]

But tabbing out is super nice in that mode, so its a trade off

[barren sapphire]

but it allows you to tab out without the game minimizing

yeah

[odd falcon]

the trade off is huge

because if i get to my 2nd monitor i get tapped out

which is a nogo

[barren sapphire]

if you need more fps, go fullscreen. Otherwise runing borderless is fine

[dire eagle]

Well, what you're experiencing is a bug, normally fullscreenwindowed (often called FullscreenBorderless) is a really nice convenience for those who can run it. If you have bugs with it or are losing to many frames, then running normal Fullscreen is perfectly fine

[barren sapphire]

this shouldnt happen when youre loaded into a match. It should only happen in menus

[hazy veldt]

the difference is a few fps at most.

[barren sapphire]

sure, but if you are playing on a weaker system minmaxing every single frame can be important

[hazy veldt]

I think having the ability to use external maps as a new player is far more important.

or tarkov-market

[barren sapphire]

i mean, you can still have a map open even in fullscreen.

[dire eagle]

And weaker systems are hit a bit harder - For me it doesn't make a difference since I normally have spare resources to use, but for many it can make a noticeable difference

[barren sapphire]

i remember playing cod2 in the good old days. When my potato went borderless i halfed my FPS back then lol

[grizzled isle]

any recommendable mods for the double barrel shotty

[woven coyote]

none

[barren sapphire]

none. the reason this weapon is so good, is because its super cheap, doesnt need mods and can still drop any player

[woven coyote]

the DB has no mods

and also costs 7k

[dire eagle]

The longer the barrel, the less recoil, at a cost of ergonomics. The buttpad is just better stats (assuming it doesnt come with one)

[mellow matrix]

is borderless or fullscreen better for fps ?

[barren sapphire]

fullscreen

[odd falcon]

@glor my mouse travels in the background while playing eft and then when i am trying to shoot i click on stuff on my 2nd montior whihc is gamebraking if you know waht i mean.

[barren sapphire]

is tarkov running on your "main monitor"? you can set your main monitor in windows

[dire eagle]

Yeah I get the issue, had a similar issue in another game years back. Does this happen on Fullscreen, BorderlessFullscreen and Windowed?

[mellow elm]

Anyone have OLI Logistics key an willing to open it for me for a quest?

[odd falcon]

i switched my monitors but its running on my main monitor

its number is 2 tho

i dont know how to change that tho

[dire eagle]

Right click desktop, display settings, click on the monitor you want to be the main one, "Make this my main display"

[barren sapphire]

is your game running on 1 or 2

[odd falcon]

thats how I tried to fix it

2 is my mainscreen

[barren sapphire]

this cant be right

2 is the "secondary" monitor in windows

you need to set it as your main monitor

then it will be "1"

do what @dire eagle said

[odd falcon]

dude it is set as my main monitor but the numbers didn´t change

I dont know why

[barren sapphire]

i somewhat doubt that? 1 should always be your main monitor, so the change might not have saved

[odd falcon]

the windows search bar is on my main monitor so it should have been saved

[barren sapphire]

nvm youre right

[grizzled isle]

but if id like to be more safe than sure, which lenght barrel would suit it the best

[barren sapphire]

what do you mean safe?

if youre trying to run budget runs that are still good you should play a different weapon. The double barrel is strong but inconsistent

[grizzled isle]

should i go for the long one for thinner spread, or short one for more quaranteed hit at cqc

[barren sapphire]

I gotta ask, why do you want to use the double barrel anyways?

[grizzled isle]

i like it

[dire eagle]

It slaps

[grizzled isle]

and its cheap

that

[barren sapphire]

just run the default version. Theres no need to change the barrel

[grizzled isle]

alr

[barren sapphire]

if you go for slugs, id maybe get the longer barrel

but for anything else its not really worth it

Just keep in mind not to use the "1 click = 2 shots" mode on this weapon

[grizzled isle]

is the revolver shotty any good tho?

[barren sapphire]

its fine-ish but at that point why not use any of the default shotguns

[grizzled isle]

yeah i want to secure the shots instead of throwin it all

[barren sapphire]

the only upside to the revolver shotgun is that it cant malfunction, but when has that ever been important anyways

[grizzled isle]

im curious

[vivid hemlock]

Actually what do the 2 firing modes on revolver shotgun do apart from not needing to cock it, does it fire faster when cocked or something?

[grizzled isle]

what is this

[dire eagle]

Well, this issue seems a bit beyond what we can help with here, I'd suggest trying to post the issue in #community-support as the help received there is more geared to technical problems. And of course go to papa Google to see if there are some solutions you can try there. (searching outside of just tarkov will likely help, as it can be an issue with any game/software)
Hope you find a solution

[barren sapphire]

yes. You get a very slight delay if you do the double action mode

[barren sapphire]

its needed for a few crafts in the lavatory.

[grizzled isle]

ah

[barren sapphire]

it should be worth more than 10k so its worth the slot in your loot

(on the flea market at least)

[woeful spruce]

in single action you need to cock the gun which makes follow up shots slower but as sson as you pull the triger the gun fires, in double action mode the overall firerate is faster but theres a considerable delay from clicking mouse 1 to the gun fireing

[grizzled isle]

any of these good

[vivid hemlock]

Ok thanks

[woeful spruce]

the best way to know is to type their names into google

if the wiki says its for a quest or has stuff you think is worth looting keep it

[dire eagle]

Are you referring to the revolver, or double barrel here? The doublebarrel "2 tap" (1 click 2 shots) is incredibly powerful if you hit the shot. Its risky, but is what can give the edge in a fight with this gun - at least to my experience

[barren sapphire]

Double barrel. If you use the double shot, the second shot will be VERY missaligned since it fires slightly after the first shot, while your weapon kicks up.

for anything past 10 meters, your second shot basically misses completly

you can test this by shooting it at the head of the shooting range dummy. The second shot goes into the ceiling

[grizzled isle]

alright thanks

[sterile agate]

why does the flea market list items that are out of stock? What are these and how are they created? Is there a way to auto hide them? sometimes i see 2+ pages of them

[barren sapphire]

set the "minimum amount" to 1 in the filter

[woeful spruce]

can confirm i once tried double shooting a guys legs and i got a face tap instead because of the second shot recoil

[sterile agate]

is there a way to do that everytime automatically

[barren sapphire]

yeah you can save the filter. theres a checkbox

[sterile agate]

ty so much

[dire eagle]

Either I'm hit with confirmation bias (to my own experience), or I've gotten lucky. I have found the doubletap to drop people hard. I gotta test this myself then to make sure I'm not being a doofus (which I probably am here)

[barren sapphire]

pestily and gigabeef both made videos on this afaik. They specifically do the target dummy test

[dire eagle]

Seems like if you shoot at the stomach, the 2nd shot will go to head height, but hit to the left of the 1st one, range of about 15m

[barren sapphire]

exactly

So when using pen ammo the second shot is worthless because it a) misses, or b) hits face where you dont need pen.

and when using flesh damage, the first shot goes into armor (useless) and the second shot either hits face or misses

at that point why use double shot anyways past 15 meters

[tropic bolt]

any noob friendly guns anyone reccomends i dont have flea yet and i want a cheap gun that can challenge other pmcs

[dire eagle]

100% agree, I've always used it in very cqb, specifically on factory. I still think its a useful tool to have to drop people fast in those situations. Sticking to single fire as a default is the way to go though

[barren sapphire]

the sks is good for headshots (with the VPO ak variant being a direct upgrade to the sks. It takes the same ammo, but can mount better sights and has magazines instead of single loading ammo like the sks)

any shotgun with buckshoot to the face.

the jaeger VPO sniper with AP ammo (but you need flea for this) can also oneshot to the chest and is cheap

if you want to go full auto, the UMP trade for knives

as long as you dont have access to all mods (through high level traders or flea market) fully automatic assault rifles are not good, since you cant get the recoil low enough. Stick with semi auto weapons

my personal sleeper pick: The saiga shotgun, with slugs and a PSO scope

[tropic bolt]

thanks man guess ill run mp 133 for now until i got enough knives for the ump

[grizzled isle]

howdy

i love the MP-43

[mellow matrix]

wtf

[dire eagle]

If you have access to the 153, use that over the 133 - quite easier to control. Though if you dont mind the 133, go for it (:

[mellow matrix]

why would you ever put a PSO on it

[barren sapphire]

shhh baby its ok

[barren sapphire]

look, if youve never picked slugs and onetapped people over hundrets of meters with the saiga, did you even live?

[tropic bolt]

think i used all my 153's and dont worry i have handed in my 133's for the prapor task already lol

[mellow matrix]

you said buckshot xD

[barren sapphire]

yeah my mistake sorry

[grizzled isle]

sleeper?

[barren sapphire]

still good in factory to peek into the hallway

[mellow matrix]

and even with slugs, that shit cant hit anything at 70 meters

look at MOA

[barren sapphire]

the superperformance slugs have an accuracy boost of 150% or something. They hit anything anywhere

[bold kernel]

Hey all

[grizzled isle]

fuck saiga, real men use TOZ-106 slugs and 3x scope

[bold kernel]

anyone have some tips on how to get better in gun fights cause i just keep losing most of them since i dont really how to aim in this game is their like some hidden training trick or something xD

I have a question for the really experienced(Sherpa) players

[mellow matrix]

never shoot in bursts

single fire or all in full auto till you are empty

[barren sapphire]

weve all been there, honestly you just get better over time. Stick to semi auto for now and try to onetap peoples head

so like even when they walk away just keep spraying until your mag is empty?

isnt that just a waste of ammo :p

[barren sapphire]

do not spray as a beginner lol

youre just spraying away your money

if youre a beginner, chances are your weapons are not modded for low recoil

[dusky geyser]

.45 ACP

[mellow matrix]

what i mean is dont try to shoot in like 4 round bursts, you either single fire accurate shots which is best or you start spraying and dont stop as long as they are alive and you can see them xD

because your PMC will control the recoil after a few rounds

and in burst you just dont hit anything becasue you get that initial high recoil kick every burst

[barren sapphire]

@mellow matrix heres the reason why you run a scope on the saiga

and just onetap people across the map

[mellow matrix]

but...

[bold kernel]

alright 😄

thanks for the help 🙂

[barren sapphire]

DID I STUTTER

[mellow matrix]

5 pen

[grizzled isle]

doesnt that round have trouble penetrating lvl 2 and above armor

[barren sapphire]

yes, its a headshot round

[mellow matrix]

do you leg meta snipe

[barren sapphire]

its not a chest round

[bold kernel]

I have a question

[mellow matrix]

i doubt even then it would be accurate enough for sniping

let me go try it out lol

[barren sapphire]

i did punisher 4 and 5 with this setup and got a dozen hate messages

[bold kernel]

Can someone help me sort my stash? I have an estimated 2.1 mil and I would like to sell some stuff to have some of that money

[barren sapphire]

you could also fill a secondary mag with pen ammo and unload into someones chest if you are forced into close quarters. but thats min maxing...

[mellow matrix]

do you zero the PSO

[barren sapphire]

hell naw

zeroing doesnt work in EFT anyways

[mellow matrix]

?

works just fine

[barren sapphire]

what i mean by this

[mellow matrix]

at least on bolt actions

[barren sapphire]

every weapon is zerod for a specific ammunition.

so if you take a different ammo (that has a lower/higher muzzle velocity) the zeroing makes no sense anymore

[mellow matrix]

yeah but it generally works fine for average ammo

[barren sapphire]

i suppose

[mellow matrix]

like, DVL 10 with M80 zeroes perfectly

if its 300m, you zero to 300 and hit a headshot aiming for the head

[barren sapphire]

sure because theres not a lot of variety in velocity in that caliber

[mellow matrix]

and thats why it works xD

[barren sapphire]

yeah for that caliber

[mellow matrix]

i guess 7.62x54 is the same

[barren sapphire]

when you experiment with shotgun ammo or .366 its useless

so the number "50m/100m/150m" is useless, just aim higher for distance

veritas has a very informative video about this

[mellow matrix]

yeah i noticed for 366

366 is useless for sniping anyway, because the only good round is ap-m which has horrible accuarcy

[barren sapphire]

are you fucking kidding me

[wary valley]

Is it even possible to get a sbih with a toz after the new changes?

[dusky geyser]

_ _

[barren sapphire]

the VPO-215 + ap-m is the best budget sniper in the game

[mellow matrix]

it sucks

[barren sapphire]

you suck >: (

noone talks to my little guy like that

[mellow matrix]

i shot a scav in the middle of the chest at 50 meters and it hit his arm lol

he was not moving

100 dura vpo 215 with apm

[tame cliff]

Man wtf is this :/

[barren sapphire]

lies

deception

i see through the lies of the jedi

[mellow matrix]

im serious xD

[barren sapphire]

when gigabeef released the video on the vpo, everyone started running it a day later on shorelines

https://youtu.be/Yg0x5cKj4YU

[mellow matrix]

but i gotta give it to you, this is suprisingly accurate, was aiming at the middle of the W at about 120 meters

[barren sapphire]

now be prepared for rage messages when you oentap chads across shorelines/woods

and all they see is "slug head eyes"

you need negative fence rep

[bold kernel]

u mean this one xD

[barren sapphire]

-4.5 karma lol

i take it you hate scavs/santa

[bold kernel]

getting quests to kill scavs but idk how to get the rep back up sooooo it just keeps building bad rep

[barren sapphire]

....you dont do scav kill quests as a scav

you only kill scavs for quests on your PMC, which doesnt affect fence karma

so either you killed santa bunch of times, or you comit scav on scav violence

[woeful spruce]

yea, the game doesnt tell you this but you cant complete any quests as a scav apart from finding stuff you need found in raid

[bold kernel]

i mean if i see a sav with a rig/gun i want im gonna pew pew them ...... also santa prob yhea xD

[barren sapphire]

i mean if i see a sav with a rig/gun i want im gonna pew pew them

as long as you dont complain about fence rep then, thats fine

[flat peak]

How do I play tarkov I just downloaded it

[barren sapphire]

with your mouse and keyboard

[bold kernel]

also i only just found out a week ago bad rep means longer times between scav's xD so next wipe i wont be shooting scavs this much also yhea i dont really mind

[barren sapphire]

pedals if youre feeling fancy

[woeful spruce]

you can go to one of the empty beginnrs asistance voice channels i can tell you a thing or 2

[bold kernel]

who tf thought pedals would be a good idea : D

[flat peak]

@woeful sprucethx

[barren sapphire]

im not saying its good. But shooting someone in the face by hitting your foot pedal is hilarious

[bold kernel]

xD i can imagine

[barren sapphire]

theres this streamer who doesnt have arms. He controls his PC with a specific device he puts in his mouth. He played PUBG a while ago

i bet he would still be better than half the playerbase of tarkov

imagine being killed by dude who doesnt have a mouse/keyboard. Thats an instant uninstall

[mellow matrix]

ey mines different

im at -1.6

because goddamn santa

[barren sapphire]

yeah i think its a weekly. They are from a pool of different quests

[woeful spruce]

how does yours look?

[barren sapphire]

i just wanna know if they fixed solar

[woeful spruce]

interesting

[woeful spruce]

dont think they did

nothing about it in the patchnotes

[barren sapphire]

aw man

ive build the solar farm, but havnt clicked on "install" yet

waiting for the fix first

[bold kernel]

Best foregrip for rfb?

[barren sapphire]

whatever has the highest ergo you can get. Recoil isnt super important on the RFB

[whole thistle]

Best foregrip in general is the se5, just use whatever you want

[woeful spruce]

the kac vertical from peacekeeper is actually realy good for it, it gives a lot of ergo and you dont really care about the recoil stats on a dmr

and is available from lvl 1

also costs like nothing

[barren sapphire]

yeah the KAC is the best default grip on basically everything

and then just use other grips if you find them in raid

[round ridge]

Cobra

[viral elm]

im doinf shearch mission for prapor

but find usec camp wont find

[robust robin]

Or an ergo grip

[viral elm]

im at it rn

[robust robin]

Sometimes the quest doesnt show it has completed, sometimes ita bugged

[woeful spruce]

you need to go the part of it that has two black cars

[barren sapphire]

sometimes you dont get the "objective done" popup. Go to the quest in your questlist to check if it worked

[woeful spruce]

the camp has 2 parts and only one of them comletes it

[robust robin]

You need to go to both

[viral elm]

got it thx

[bold kernel]

Can anyone help me

[woeful spruce]

what are you struggling with?

[bold kernel]

I would like to liquidate some of my stash as it's estimated at 2.1 mil, so i can invest in myself. I don't have a lot of money rn

[barren sapphire]

if you need money, just do this
https://youtu.be/Chlk3X-YFg8

[bold kernel]

I mostly just run scav interchange 24/7

[viral elm]

yessss

extracted

full bag 2

[barren sapphire]

just sell everything you dont need NOW. If it sits idle in your stash, youre wasting money and space

[bold kernel]

The issue is i don't know what to sell or keep

[warped plaza]

hey guys, i upgraded to EOD mid wipe and to my understanding i should have my gamma sent to me via messages and my stash should be upgraded automatically right?

[bold kernel]

wtf they added kac qdc to mechanic ll3

[warped plaza]

but i haven't had either happen

[barren sapphire]

again, just sell everything. If youre new, nothing is really worth keeping

[red palm]

yeah it should be

[woeful spruce]

sell guns and ammo to mechanic wearable gear to ragman and misc items to therapist mostly. get rid of guns you dont have access to good ammo for or wont run any time soon, as well as all items you can cheaply buy like cheap ammo or simple meds

[warped plaza]

yeah idk why it hasn't done it

[smoky moth]

verify game, clear cache, if neither worked, send bug report to support

[warped plaza]

it's been 10 minutes so far and haven't had anything

[warped plaza]

alright ty

[smoky moth]

then attempt a reinstallation while you wait

[bold kernel]

Okay. Will try this, only thing i really use anyway is my svds and ak74

[bold kernel]

does ur name have golden crown now though

[warped plaza]

yeah it does i checked it has golden crown at least

but still no gamma or stash space

[barren sapphire]

well the backend is still fucked from the recent downtime

[woeful spruce]

bear gang

[barren sapphire]

upgrading to EoD during this wasnt really the smartest idea

[viscid jewel]

backend is always fucked

[barren sapphire]

truer words have never been spoken

[dire eagle]

Contact support and pray for a fairly quick response, they will likely sort it out for you if it doesn't happen automatically

[knotty palm]

does this game have radiation?

[woeful spruce]

not yet

[knotty palm]

what are these

[dawn geyser]

Not implemented in the game yet.
