[vagrant cargo]

[bold kernel]

ehhhj

do you have flea?

[white wolf]

ye

im level 16

[bold kernel]

if you have the $ to buy better rounds sure

[white wolf]

depends what rounds tbh

[bold kernel]

what guns do you like?

[white wolf]

ive been using rfb lately since thats the only gun I have bought that peope have told me is good so idk. Im trying to find some good automatic guns so thats why I built a mdr but apparently mdr is bad

[vagrant cargo]

mdr is fine wtf

[bold kernel]

mdr is okay i just really am biased against NATO guns

cant put a grip on it though besides half-grips so you have to control recoil

if you can handle that its w/e

[white wolf]

thats my build

[rain wing]

hoooooly shit

[bold kernel]

as a new player at this stage of wipe you're gonna be punching yourself in the head trying to kill people w/ NATO

[rain wing]

finished my raid with a little over 2 minutes

[bold kernel]

about as good as itll get for an MDR, if you really want to run it run it

[rain wing]

finally can craft my med station

I also levelled up

gaming

LOL

[vagrant cargo]

rip shiyv

[white wolf]

idk what ammo to use though, thats the thing

[rain wing]

he was the dude at crackhouse

[vagrant cargo]

m856a1 if u can buy it if u cant buy at least that then u shouldnt run it

[rain wing]

so what do I do with the raven?

[bold kernel]

^

[white wolf]

I got 83 of that ammo

[vagrant cargo]

ok so like 2 mags

[valid trout]

yup thats how i make money

[rain wing]

what do I do with the

the

magazine

[vagrant cargo]

kinda aint much idk if u feel comfortable with 2 mags

[rain wing]

manual

[white wolf]

cant buy it though

[rain wing]

I mean

[vagrant cargo]

GROSs

[bold kernel]

sell

[valid trout]

best merin/hillside ruin yet

[vagrant cargo]

fuck you mean bot runners tho

[rain wing]

no foea

flea

[vagrant cargo]

i never find shit in merin

i gotta get house

[bold kernel]

keep

[white wolf]

I only got level 2 peacekeeper so idk

[coral osprey]

is the mdr worth keeping ?

[valid trout]

yes

[noble thorn]

yes

[bold kernel]

what caliber

[vagrant cargo]

you get it through quests

[lone narwhal]

how do i not die on reserve

[coral osprey]

ive got 2 556

[lone narwhal]

i have rr

which in theory should help

[rain wing]

no storage 😩

[vagrant cargo]

good you cant die now

[coral osprey]

these are the guns ive got so far , wish i could score a weapons case

[bold kernel]

up to you, personally if i was a new player and I had a 556 MDR i'd only keep them if i could buy m856a1

[vagrant cargo]

scar h svd and sr25 are the most awesome

[rain wing]

tf do I do with all of this

[lone narwhal]

i always find a way

[white wolf]

this is my bit of accumulated weapons. Not much since im bad and lose them all

[bold kernel]

sell some of those thats taking up a SHIT ton of space lol

[coral osprey]

yup trying to decide which to sell honestly

[bold kernel]

imo sell 1 mdr, the m4, the saiga, and mk 16

[real rune]

is hillside house key any good?

[lucid karma]

How long does intel take on a scav case? mine is 18 hours and 30 minutes. Am i doing something wrong?

[vagrant cargo]

this mpx fr stupid

[vagrant cargo]

YES its amazing

[real rune]

how amazing doe

[vagrant cargo]

SUPER amazing its crazy

[white wolf]

ik my friend gave it to me

[vagrant cargo]

he crazu

[rain wing]

so

what are these markers for?

other than quests

[real rune]

even after the loot nerf ?@vagrant cargo

[coral pulsar]

Anyone down to play? I'm new to pc and Tarkov. Need help learning extracts and loot spots. I also need to get the encrypted message from Yeager, etc. I'm lvl 6

[bold kernel]

thats it

[rain wing]

oh

what quests need it?

[smoky moth]

fucking finally

[rain wing]

oh.

[smoky moth]

when you get to flea, tell me, we're going to lighthouse together and do rogues properly as a pmc

i have so many lighthouse quests that are locked behind rogues

[wraith sun]

any open nae groups/

[bold kernel]

would you run it with me sometime? im at work rn but i've never actually gotten a successful rogue run, always die to pmcs/the rogues and never finish the route

[smoky moth]

im asia tho

[bold kernel]

aaaagh

[smoky moth]

this is my keycard holder now, LMAO

it was full yesterday, and i had just one injector left

[white wolf]

why is it 90k for a pack of bp

thats my question

[rough scarab]

I got 3 lighthouse quests done today in 1 raid it was crazy

[bold kernel]

most people unpack them so the amount of packs on the market is low, makes price higher

[white wolf]

ah ok

[vagrant cargo]

this game is fucking stupid

[magic mango]

should i use a CMS for SURV12? i have the gamma but idk which would be better since i get an extra slot if i use CMS, but it doesnt repair as well but idk what would help more.

[vagrant cargo]

use surv12 and throw it away if u find something worth more ? idk

[magic mango]

k thx

[bold kernel]

this is what i do

[vagrant cargo]

not hard to get higher value per slot than surv anyways

[magic mango]

good point

why does this say 10/6

[copper walrus]

Hey anyone oce server wanna party up?

[atomic elm]

how do i get the fence task for scav rep?

[bold kernel]

you only get them if you're below a certain rep iirc

[atomic elm]

im -0.49 is that to high?

[smoky moth]

you need to have < -1 karma

[atomic elm]

damn

[astral meteor]

im level 13 and only haves meds in inventory. need help

[vagrant cargo]

wdym

[astral meteor]

have absolutley nothing other than meds in my stash

dude people are spawn camping in factory . happpend to me like 3 times in the last three matches

i have no backpack or weapons or money to buy guns or armor and my scavs just keep geeting spawn killed in reserve or factory

so i have to wait like 30 min to play the game now cause i cant even jump in as pmc

[royal mirage]

Do i lose my Gamma next wipe?

[glossy gale]

is this a crazy drip set or what

[pure marsh]

No

[royal mirage]

ok

[pure marsh]

Mcx is not in my top 10 but fresh

[glossy gale]

I dont really ever use it in raid but it seems like a pretty cool gun

[pure marsh]

I hope it works well for you tbh

[glossy gale]

ty

[pure marsh]

I've never been lucky with it

[glossy gale]

im only running fmj blackout so

idk if itll work

i dont have access to other ammo

[river yarrow]

Second best silencer to KAC PRS QDC? (stat wise)

[glossy gale]

will that work with the high rpm?

[astral meteor]

were can i get the key to get the envolope for the BAD REP mission

[river yarrow]

Factory, top floor office.

[astral meteor]

What key do u need to get into the office

[river yarrow]

None.

[astral meteor]

I have a factory key

[river yarrow]

You don't need anything, just get in, and get out.

[astral meteor]

Is it first come first serve

[river yarrow]

Yep, although most people don't loot these quest related keys. They aren't worth shit. (I always leave them be)

[astral meteor]

That’s what I figured but the lobby’s right now is factory are filled with chads

[river yarrow]

Just take a pistol and do a run-through.

[astral meteor]

Ight thanks

[river yarrow]

Even with the worst luck, you will get it in two tries max.

The envelope itself is in Customs, right in front of bus station (behind the wall that is, in some white living-container)

[river yarrow]

Factory key is for an extraction point btw.

[royal mirage]

are kappas permanant?

[placid arrow]

just for the wipe @royal mirage

[dry kindle]

what should i do with my free scar?

its just been sitting in my stash this whole time

[cyan apex]

yo can anyone drop me this?

last part remaning for gunsmith 4

[royal mirage]

buy the gmount and pcb on flea

[cyan apex]

i dont have access to peacekeeper 3

[royal mirage]

oh lmao its a video

[bold kernel]

I don’t remember is it a 556 or 762 scar

[cyan apex]

duh lmao

[cyan apex]

can u drop?

[royal mirage]

not rn im loading into factory

[cyan apex]

i can give u the parts back

or cash

[royal mirage]

ok

[cyan apex]

up to u

[cyan apex]

alright how much time?

[royal mirage]

like 20mins

[cyan apex]

F

alright

[royal mirage]

or a bit more

[cyan apex]

ok....

[royal mirage]

not alot more tho

[dry kindle]

7,62 scar

[bold kernel]

Use that bitch 762 is a great cartridge

It’s got a good scope on it too

[pure marsh]

I sold it all no cap

[dry kindle]

i saw alot of negative things on it on reddit and wanted a second opinion

[bold kernel]

Most you can sell it to vendors for is like 120k so if you don’t have flea you’ll get more than that out of using it

You could piece it out if you have flea

[dry kindle]

it sells for 180k

[bold kernel]

Still

[proven wave]

what should i do with these

[bold kernel]

I make 300k+ a raid without kills

If you kill at least one PMC and extract you already made money on the gun

[halcyon yarrow]

how do i get a laser on this gun?

[royal mirage]

rail

[dry kindle]

that is true im just not the confident on using it only lvl12 first wipe

[halcyon yarrow]

what rail

i cant find it

[proven wave]

u need to buy a rail

[dry kindle]

and saw alot of negative things about its recoil and stuff

[royal mirage]

on the side of the barrel

[halcyon yarrow]

yeah but i cant find the rail 💀

[bold kernel]

It’s recoil does suck but I single fired that scar bc of the scope and using m80

I’ll die on this hill new players should get comfortable with 762 m80 as fast as possible

RFB is cheap, accessible, and you can two/three tap gigachads in the thorax

[proven wave]

magpull Mlock 2.5inch rail

[pure marsh]

I preach shotguns. Easy as hell to use IMO

You only need one lucky pellet

[bold kernel]

I think shotguns are great in general but some players will find them frustrating if they get a bad spread or something

[pure marsh]

I'd rather be frustrated and see 300 damage to flesh than see 0 and 19 misses lmao

[proven wave]

its a lvl 1 trade from mecanic

1 Mtape

'

[tough aurora]

anyone willing to help with fishing gear mission? (delivering an sv-98 and multi tool onto a row boat in shoreline)

[pure marsh]

Join a VC

[tough aurora]

lfg 7

[halcyon yarrow]

found it thx tho

[pure marsh]

Not me silly. Join a shoreline one lmao

[tough aurora]

oh lol, myb

[cyan apex]

@royal mirage yo

[royal mirage]

[cyan apex]

[blazing drift]

[pure talon]

Anyone struggling rn? I'm doing a giveaway, full loadout for new players (level under 25 and under 400h on your account). Full loadout with a gun of your choice.

I'll be doing a T7 thermal goggles giveaway tomorrow evening European time for new players as well.

[blazing drift]

i am

[pure talon]

first come, first served

what's your level and how much hours do you have on your account?

[pure marsh]

Hey bro. Nice to see you still around

[pure talon]

❤️

[slow basin]

wait i thought if i go into the usec camp on lighthouse they won't shoot me? is that wrong?

[blazing drift]

level 7'

[pure marsh]

Fighting the good fight

[blazing drift]

18.37 hours

[slow basin]

im usec

[pure talon]

Already gave away 6 t7s this wipe 😉

[blazing drift]

whats a t7

[pure marsh]

It's still pretty buggy tbh

[blazing drift]

oh nvm

[pure marsh]

I can't say anything for certain

[unkempt ingot]

i just sold a bunch of shit to peacekeeper to level him up, now i have a lot of dollars, what's the best way to turn them into roubles?

[idle hedge]

buys guns sell to mechanic

losing money tho

[unkempt ingot]

what's the best gun to buy?

[idle hedge]

what lvl is he

[unkempt ingot]

2

[idle hedge]

how much USD u got

[plush nest]

need 1 for some tarkov gaming idk

[unkempt ingot]

10k

[plush nest]

prob weapon attachments

[tough oyster]

scav mil cable?

[idle hedge]

yea or break down the guns for parts and sell everything

[pure marsh]

It's a loss no matter what. I got PK up by buying diaries on the flea and selling to him for profit

[unkempt ingot]

i did the same thing

[pure marsh]

People are so silly lol

[idle hedge]

ik I said he was going to lose money

no profit

[pure marsh]

At least you tried tbh

[bold kernel]

i bought and sold pistols to him for the $ spent

[idle hedge]

he just wanted to know how to turn the USD back to rubles

[wicked marsh]

peacekeeper best trader by far

do his quests

[tough oyster]

i wonder what 6 scav karma is like, im getting good starting gear at 2.3 lol

[idle hedge]

You can buy armor and shit

[unkempt ingot]

how do i turn the usd back to roubles tho?

what do i buy?

[idle hedge]

whatever you want guns or attachments even armor

[tough oyster]

just keep it, ur gunna end up spending it anyways

[idle hedge]

for a loss

[pure marsh]

Facts. Most builds require usd

[idle hedge]

lighthouse?

[wise egret]

Anyone know where I can group up with someone to play the game?

[tough oyster]

ya, but i spawned in with a mil cable and 35k

just ran to extract

[idle hedge]

ez loot

[plain sinew]

Could anyone teach me or give some tips?

[tough oyster]

is air filter unit worth it?

[finite helm]

my scav is on awaiting session start forever, any fix for this?

[pure marsh]

Depends, it makes skill training way easier

[vital oasis]

uhhhhh chad factory time? haha

[mellow elm]

Does anyone have Oli Logistics and mind opening it up for me to complete a quest?

[unkempt ingot]

i have it

[mellow elm]

Mind doing a quick raid with me and a few others? We are in LFG Beginners #15

[unkempt ingot]

or nvm, i sold it recently

[mellow elm]

lmao all good

[tough oyster]

these are my stats rn

[unkempt ingot]

it's pretty expensive, i think like 150k

[mellow elm]

yeah ill just buy it

its not bad at all

[cold silo]

bro ill pay someone i need one at least level 15 bear dogtag

[idle hedge]

i gotta extract 20 times for 60k rubles

as a weekly

[pure marsh]

Start running with shotgun shells in your bag for strength

[tough oyster]

why is this orange unlike the other icons

[tough oyster]

how many?

[pure marsh]

Until your weight turns yellow

It's what I use to train it. And you can just drop em as you get loot

[tough oyster]

whats the best map? i was thinking woods night along the edge of the map

[pure marsh]

That or shoreline tbh

[white pond]

i killed a scav as scav

how long do i have to wait for them to stop killing me

[grim cipher]

ur next raid scav run u will be fine

[tough oyster]

rogues are so weird as scavs

sometimes they shoot u without warning, sometimes not

[pure talon]

Anyone else is struggling? I'm doing a giveaway, free loadout to new player (level under 25, under 400h). Loadout of your choice.

[pale snow]

how do u get those m4 60 round mags besides peacekeaper lvl 3?

[pure talon]

fir

[pale snow]

y the HECK is it banned on flea market

[random cedar]

because if you get the people 60 rounds they become cheater

[bold kernel]

i thought only one was banned

[random cedar]

I think both 556 mags are banned

[pure talon]

almost all "end game" items are unavailable on flea

[random cedar]

^ this is true

[pure talon]

it has it merits, if not for that i can guarantee everyone would be rocking slicks and 995 now

[random cedar]

definitely would see alot more slicks and hex grids

[pure talon]

because they are hard to get, you have people with suboptimal armors shooting bt...

good change tbh

[random cedar]

I just do the barter for bs

yeah everyone stuck running gzhels now cause slick definitely needs to have more quantity for the barter

it was fine when it could be bought for roubles but they didnt even increase it after they took hexgrid off of ragman

[bold kernel]

theres a gzhel barter?

[random cedar]

yes but most people just buy it for roubles

I was saying slick barter though needs more quantity

[bold kernel]

what lvl ragman?

[random cedar]

3

[bold kernel]

fuck

[random cedar]

its 2 gold chains and 3 majaica

[bold kernel]

i havent done any of his quests

im lvl 2 on him rn

[pure talon]

it's fine as it is

[random cedar]

yeah but its not accessible like you need to sit waiting on ragman reset

thats not how any of the items should be in this game

[pure talon]

you do, true, part of the game, not the greatest game design, but that's what we have

[random cedar]

yeah I just think if you gained the level to get slicks you should be able to buy them you know like make it a quantity per person not globally

[bold kernel]

no better way to limit them, and there needs to be less slicks than previous wipes

[pure talon]

i just filled whole thicc case with slicks and only missed one trade, so it's definitely accessible if you have means to be around your computer whenever trader resets

[random cedar]

that being said i have like 40 slicks so im just saying it out of a pure game sense I think the problem with limiting them is you have one guy running slicks and hes a tank then fighting bots

[bold kernel]

i think ultimately bsg will create a gear score system to balance complaints

[random cedar]

nothing wrong with running end game gear imo i think end game fights are more fun

[pure talon]

the whole economy in this game is tied by shoestrings, so there's no easy solution, i agree that it's not entirely fair in current state, but i can't think of any short term remedy for that

[bold kernel]

sure, the problem is the people that cant afford it now being effectively walled off from playing the game by people who can

[random cedar]

yeah but they can still get walled off the amount of games I get into with people at level 5 is so stupid like im level 50 fighting timmy

[bold kernel]

at least right now theres hardly enough slicks for me to see a slick every time i load customs for a loot run

[pure talon]

two wipes ago my friend started playing tarkov, it was mid wipe... he had a standard account, no access to flea and it was miserable experience, i just couldn't convinced him to keep playing... he had sks with ps ammo while everyone else was running in slicks and enjoying meta m4 with 995

[random cedar]

yeah that was when bitcoins were like 1 million each

[pure talon]

since then it's much better.. still not good, but much better

[random cedar]

slicks didnt raise in price to fit that economy

they were still like 500k so it was nothing to run a slick

I think I had like 600 million that wipe with a whole money case full of bitcoins

[red folio]

at this point, just go work for BSG and change it yourself

there's no point in typing out your essay

[pure talon]

if only they could afford my work 😉

[random cedar]

just suggestions bsg doesnt like end game players so its not surprising they are continuously slowing the game down

[red folio]

there's a forum for a reason

[bold kernel]

you really thought you were doing something saying this huh

🤡

[red folio]

I'm the clown? lol

[pure talon]

yeap, i can do up to 30-40 mil a week so it doesn't really matter

[red folio]

this is a chat to help newer players. not explain your thoughts on how endgame gear should be managed

[bold kernel]

you applying for janny?

[random cedar]

if you read up before people were asking questions about something it lead into this conversation

[pure talon]

i think you misunderstood something and now you're misplacing your effort

[random cedar]

its not like we are ignoring people they can type in this chat freely

[bold kernel]

bro is taking time out of his day to gatekeep a video game discord channel lmao

this is my first wipe im a beginner and im learning something

fuck off thanks my man

[red folio]

you're reading into my statements too much. this isn't reddit

[bold kernel]

nobody is reading into anything you're literally telling people to not talk about something in a discord channel lol

[red folio]

no. I'm saying to move on because all I saw was someone complaining about what they want BSG to do

[bold kernel]

👍

[ruby skiff]

ok so im new and out of money cant even heal and have no guns or anything and am to shit to do good on scav runs....think im in the wrong game

[bold kernel]

nah, everyone starting out has a point in time where they're absolutely at rock bottom and dont know what to do

that becomes the fun of the game though

its a video game, dont take it too seriously, see it for the challenge it is

you cant get any lower than you are right now, yknow?

[pure talon]

@ruby skiff i can drop you a bitcoin if you want?

[bold kernel]

there are a LOT of resources on youtube for beginners, from what weapons you can build at level 1 for cheap, to map guides and more

[ruby skiff]

nah man i appreciate it tho i could only sell it to a trader dont have access to the flea market my lvl is to low still very new to the game only got it last week

@pure talon

@bold kernel yea i get that just makes me mad i cant do anything only map i know how to extract om is factory so its all i play and i only run into huge boys lol

[keen mural]

Tarkov mommy figure dm please i need positive reassurance when i get a kill and then cuddles at fob

[edgy ledge]

bro did they buff scavs

two shot at me with no voiceline

[random cedar]

should I sell my bitcoins or HOLD!

[bold kernel]

play some offline raids on customs, or watch a map guide for customs, its a good map for beginners to learn and you can find a loot route that you like that avoids players so you can start building some $

[bold kernel]

i feel like the update after the wipe they buffed them, they got fucking crazy all of a sudden

[random cedar]

they gave us inertia but scavs didnt get inertia too

[edgy ledge]

yeah the no inertia sucks but no voicelines? it was ai cause i had no report button

wtf

[pure talon]

which level are you?

[white pond]

i shot a scav as scav, am i good on my next scav game

[bold kernel]

yes

[full marsh]

don't suppose any feel like helping with the 2nd part of the quest delivery from the past gotta drop the quest item in the break room on factory and extract

[whole crest]

I just finished punisher

I feel

Empty

[full marsh]

how does your wallet feel doe

[whole crest]

I didn’t lose much

Just got stash lv 3

From now on I’m only running mdr and meta ak

[white pond]

i forgot to mention, i killed a scav and some other scav saw me and i killed him too

am i still fine

[bold kernel]

yeah, if you kill a scav in front of other scavs the scavs that see you do it will aggro you but if you wait around and go to a different area scavs in that area wont shoot you on sight

usually

[warm minnow]

wat

they actually have to see it?

[bold kernel]

i dont think they need actual sightline just be in a close vicinity

[warm minnow]

i thought if you kill a scav you just get marked for that game

also scav on scav violence kills your scav/fence rep

usually if i hit a scav as a scav i just accept my fate

[white pond]

i needed a backpack i had to kill him

i died to another scav xd he one tapped me

[bold kernel]

not the whole game

[royal mirage]

M1A or RFB?

[bold kernel]

i kill plenty of scavs

[bold kernel]

m1a if money is no object

[atomic talon]

rfb tac 30 if ur broke

literally

[bold kernel]

its so fucking good

[royal mirage]

Is this decent

for woods

[bold kernel]

yeah had to change my name

[royal mirage]

nice

[bold kernel]

what magnification is that scope

i cant see on my tiny ass work laptop

[royal mirage]

1x/4x

looks nice

[bold kernel]

id personally run higher magnification

like a 1x/6x

[royal mirage]

what scope has that

[bold kernel]

when i go woods unless im going budget i run a HAMR

[bold kernel]

razor i think? the one that came on the christmas scar

[royal mirage]

valday has it

[atomic talon]

valday yeah

cheaper than razor

[night vigil]

what is the best way to get money spent for peacekeeper level 2?

[spice tapir]

@night vigil buy pistols and sell them back to him

[smoky moth]

sell weapon mods found in raid to him

[spice tapir]

@night vigil thats what i do personally and what my friends told me to do

[night vigil]

he wont buy them back

wtf dude

[atomic talon]

refresh

[bold kernel]

leave and go back in 2 times

it will work

[night vigil]

oh thanks

sorry

[bold kernel]

you can also just buy dollars

[dire rock]

^^

[oblique ruin]

bitcoin rised today from 240k to 268k worth on selling it now?

[night vigil]

nah im too poor XD

[graceful kelp]

pain, tryna do golden swag

[dire rock]

i dont worry about what price it is as long as its above 200k im fine

not like its going back to what it was beginning of 2021

[oblique ruin]

what was it then

[dire rock]

800k i think

[oblique ruin]

heard it was like 1,2m at one point

[dire rock]

might have gotten that high i cant remember exactly, all i know is you got around 1-2m per day from btc alone

then they slashed it down to 400 then 200k

[oblique ruin]

oof

[finite terrace]

are m995 bullets only good to penetrate or do they also do good damage

it takes me quite a few bullets to kill a regular scav

[atomic talon]

i just got a flir from a scav run, wtf do i do with it

since i obviously cant flea market it

[oblique ruin]

lol looks like Gunsmith part 9 is bugged

the gun has to be 8 slots but i can turn it in when its taking up 10slots

[atomic talon]

fold?

[oblique ruin]

yeah it has to be folded but for some reason i didnt need to fold it

[smoky moth]

could be that the stock wasn't included in a blacklist but it fits the requirements

[willow ocean]

is there lft chat on this server

[oblique ruin]

#pvp-lfg

[oblique ruin]

i just copied the same ak that was in the tarkov wiki

oh damn got to lvl 30 so im at mechanic ll3 now

[fleet radish]

have there been any massive changes to reserve in recent times? or is okay to watch guides from like 2020?

[slow basin]

Can someone please explain the rogues to me. It was pitch black, and they were aim botting me across the map. I went all the way around, peaked my head up and they instantly locked on to me again. It felt bugged.

[pure talon]

ai doesn't care if it you can see them

if you're in range (radius) they will engage you

[slow basin]

how am i supposed to mark the helicopter in the middle of the map then

i have to kill every single one?

[pure talon]

kill them first

[slow basin]

feels tough when they lock onto you instantly like that

[atomic talon]

yeah im a bear and i literally cant go lighthouse

[pure talon]

you'll consume more fuel in the future so its better you keep a lot

[dire rock]

save it for now, youll need a lot of it later on

[tough oyster]

where would this airdrop be

im on the island in lighthouse

looking west, bit northsih

[bold kernel]

hold to 300k btc to the moon 🚀

[quaint onyx]

if you have a compass check the numbers in it and then just follow the numbers

[tough oyster]

ims cav

scav

[bold kernel]

thats either chalet or rogue camp

cant tell which side youre looking at

idk cardinal directions of maps well

[tough oyster]

im looking west towards the sea

[bold kernel]

oh wait now i know where you are

thats near path to shoreline extract right

[tough oyster]

ya

[bold kernel]

that is dropping near road construction i believe

[tough oyster]

i was about to leave when i heard it

[tough oyster]

near that store on the road?

[bold kernel]

road construction or the bunkhouses next to the shore

[bold kernel]

yes, that general area

i know specifically theres a spawn on the beach next to the troop transport truck on the beach

spawns are set locations, not random

[tough oyster]

still cant find it

[tough oyster]

TIL

[bold kernel]

might be closer tbh, near the tennis court is another one

[nova sentinel]

in the tarcone director office task will i lose the quest item before i can plant it

[bold kernel]

if you die, yes

[nova sentinel]

will i fail the task if i die before extracting

after planting it

[bold kernel]

no, but youll have to extract again separately

[nova sentinel]

ok ty

[rain wing]

FUCK I WENT THE WRONG WAY ON WOODS AND HIT A LANDMINE

FUCKK

[smoky moth]

bleeding?

[rain wing]

dead.

[smoky moth]

rip

[rain wing]

lol

I got into a fight and was running the other dude

then stepped on a landmine

[smoky moth]

oof

[rain wing]

fuck I still barely know this map

lol

[deep palm]

can someone help me do the fence quest kill 7 pmc with an ak

[rain wing]

OH FUCK I'M SO STUPID

I FORGOT TO BRING AMMO FOR MY SHOTTY

FUCKK

is there anything at the crashe dplane?

[smoky moth]

woods?

[rain wing]

ye

[smoky moth]

there's a ground loot spawn inside the cockpit

[rain wing]

ah

I got food

[reef arrow]

[rain wing]

NO

I FORGOT TO PUT IN AMMO

I'M SO FUCKED

[quaint onyx]

[rain wing]

nope

double barrel

[quaint onyx]

alyonka 30k

cond milk 15k

[rain wing]

on flea?

I don't have flea yet

💀

[reef arrow]

therapist

[smoky moth]

jesus christ wtf

[quaint onyx]

alyonkas are pricier on flea

[bold kernel]

food center in hideout has a craft that turns alyonka, crackers, and oat flakes into 7 slickers bars, makes profit and gives you xp

[tight bridge]

whats the odds or chance of spawning with a lab access keycard on scav?

[quaint onyx]

bro you just asked this on the other channel

[bold kernel]

you asked this in the other chat and already got an answer\

[tight bridge]

that didnt help

[bold kernel]

lol

[quaint onyx]

its mostly the same people on this channel

[bold kernel]

the only people that know this are bsg members, spawn rates are server side and they dont share the exact numbers

so the best you're going to get is "its random and influenced by your scav karma"

nobody here knows the answer to your question

[quaint onyx]

if i say its 1 out of 10 scav runs are you happy with that info

[tight bridge]

but if someone here like have played over 100 scav runs they might be able to give tell me how many of them you did rescieve a lab access card 😄

[tight bridge]

yes yes ty

[edgy ledge]

i have but didn t record

[bold kernel]

facepalm

[quaint onyx]

i have 400-500 scav runs and i

[edgy ledge]

i d say i got 4 in 100 runs

[quaint onyx]

maybe like 40-50 lab cards

[edgy ledge]

with 1 scav carma

[bold kernel]

those numbers will still be skewed by the players karma

like lol

[quaint onyx]

maybe 30 not sure

[tight bridge]

hmmm

[edgy ledge]

how much karma

[quaint onyx]

now i have 6

[tight bridge]

so having a good karma matters?

[smoky moth]

could be 10%-30%

[edgy ledge]

definitely

[tight bridge]

ik you get better loot guns etc but better drop rates for cards aswell?

[quaint onyx]

karma matters since you are doing more runs

[edgy ledge]

the higher the better caps out at 6

[edgy ledge]

yes

that is for sure

[tight bridge]

Dang thats good info

[bold kernel]

...

[quaint onyx]

i think no but its just an assumption on what i have seen

[edgy ledge]

don t know how much it affects it but it s clearly important

[rain wing]

where the fuck am I

[bold kernel]

lighthouse

[quaint onyx]

scav bridge

[edgy ledge]

tarkov economic area

[tight bridge]

thats pretty dang decent for lab card

[rain wing]

fuck

I went to the wrong side of the map

LOL

[bold kernel]

wait that isnt lighthouse?

[rain wing]

oh actually wait I'm not that far from convoy

[rain wing]

nah

woods

[quaint onyx]

thats woods

[bold kernel]

wtf

[quaint onyx]

take the road head south

[rain wing]

aight

[tight bridge]

so if you are looking for a lab card @edgy ledge yo ucan lowkey just lock in factory with good gear and farm raiders when you hear them?

[quaint onyx]

there are scavs on the way though if someone didnt kill htem

[rain wing]

I take the left road right?

[quaint onyx]

the road that goes up the hill

[bold kernel]

scavs are different than raiders, but yes you could extract camp on factory and farm player scavs leaving for cards

id give a rough estimate that if you killed a large amount of player scavs you prob have a 25% chance of finding a card

[tight bridge]

because i jsut got my first lab card and ran like crazy but got shit on by a loaded guy

[tough oyster]

I hate player scavs

as a scav

[quaint onyx]

the scav bunker should be in your right as you pass it

[tough oyster]

i just got the best loot at light house and pscav killed me, and i had a jam

[rain wing]

fuck

3 dead scavs

all have shottys

but no ammo

they aren't even loaded

wtf

[late sluice]

Guys who should i do the marker on custom for the chemicals for?

[tight bridge]

@bold kernel can you get like a purple or violet or whatever the lab keycards aswell on raider spawn or?

[quaint onyx]

skier is a fine choice

[bold kernel]

skier

[late sluice]

why skier?

[edgy ledge]

no raiders on factory, just pscavs

[bold kernel]

doesnt have any effect really besides what reward you like more

skier's reward is worth more than the others

[quaint onyx]

and you have to pay skier 1M roubles to get the rep back

[late sluice]

hmm

[edgy ledge]

and i have never seen any pscav have a different keycard then acces

[late sluice]

so its not worth the xp and extra rubles?

[bold kernel]

ive seen a clip of one spawning with violet

[edgy ledge]

then i stand corrected but in my hundreds of runs i ve never seen it happen

[tight bridge]

holy

[edgy ledge]

i have 1.5 karma so that might explain it

[tight bridge]

i got lab acces on -0.03 karma

[bold kernel]

i have -2.5 and got a card yesterday

[tight bridge]

damn so you can actually rack up a couple a day?

[tough oyster]

this is the loot i lost

[tight bridge]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[rain wing]

also @smoky moth you said you can find salewas at the usec camp right?

[smoky moth]

both

[tough oyster]

this is the third time ive ever had a jam the first time it ever fucked me over

[tight bridge]

i would have uninstalled

[smoky moth]

there's EMERCOM and USEC camp

[bold kernel]

its technically possible if you have good scav karma (reduces scav wait time) and play them off cooldown that you get multiple in a day

[rain wing]

ohh

[tough oyster]

I have inspect and unjam on I and O thinking id never use it

[rain wing]

I'm at usec camp rn

[tight bridge]

wait how did you get less scav time again? is that something in hideout?

[rain wing]

where r the salewas at

[smoky moth]

check the medical boxes

[edgy ledge]

military camp is good bet

[quaint onyx]

u can put them on the same key

[rain wing]

YES

[smoky moth]

kinda like technical crates but different loot pool

good ammo

[edgy ledge]

that one near factory gate

[bold kernel]

intel center i think? but good scav karma reduces your wait time as well

[tight bridge]

oh dang

[rain wing]

fuck

no salewas

[tight bridge]

ty bro you helping alot

[bold kernel]

is asia a populated server?

[rain wing]

there only one medical box at the usec camp right?

[quaint onyx]

intel center reduces cooldown on scav

[smoky moth]

there's 2 camps

so there's 2 medical boxes

[edgy ledge]

check military camp next to ruaf extract

[smoky moth]

both near each other

[edgy ledge]

2 crates 2 medbags and loose medical loot

i got 2 there

[rain wing]

the one on top?

[quaint onyx]

they are talking about the medcamp

[rain wing]

ohhh

[quaint onyx]

thats close to ruaf exit

[bold kernel]

i just dont like running woods personally

im bad at finding targets

ill be watching youtubers/streamers and they're running and all of a sudden go "oh there's a guy" and just snap and scope in on a dude crouched 200 meters away in a bush

like what the fuck? am i just blind? idk man

[quaint onyx]

they have a photographic memory of the map and if a single leaf is in a different position theyll know

[smoky moth]

yea

[quaint onyx]

or they are using cheats

[edgy ledge]

this one way better for meds imo

[rain wing]

I alrdy extracted

no salewas

:(

[edgy ledge]

try this one next time

[rain wing]

the military camp?

[edgy ledge]

yep

[rain wing]

aight

[edgy ledge]

i shall sacrifice a salewa if you don t find any there

[bold kernel]

i find BS ammo packs all the time there

[edgy ledge]

yep got 7n40 amo there

the recoil one might ve butchered the name

[rain wing]

💀

[edgy ledge]

it s still aight

[bold kernel]

nah you got it

[edgy ledge]

what gun and gear are u taking into raid @rain wing

[rain wing]

anything I have in my stash/double barreled

backpack I usually bring a berkut/scav bp

if not mbss

and I almost never bring in armor

sometimes I bring what's it called

bank robber

[bold kernel]

bank robber is a rig, not armor

[rain wing]

yeah for rig I meant

[bold kernel]

you shouldnt skimp out on armor, itll save your life

helmets dont matter

90% of the time you get hit in the head you get hit in the face or ears anyway

[smoky moth]

yep true

[edgy ledge]

don t bring helmets always bring a paca or press

always get facecover(balaclava from ragman) makes u less visible

for whatever reason

weapon is preference but i rlly like veprkm with

u can slap bastion dust cover and any sight u like on it

[sharp egret]

can someone run interchange with me i need gas an

i just need some help

[bold kernel]

vepr is fine for new players, can be cheaply kitted out and the round is ok

[sharp egret]

tryna task

[bold kernel]

366 model is good too

[edgy ledge]

vpo is my fav but it s got harsher recoil

[edgy ledge]

i d say go reserve

the buildings near helicopter have hella gas an spawns

[sharp egret]

tech light and texo is good tho

[edgy ledge]

especially drop down room(google it)

[sharp egret]

ive alr gottin 1

from 3 raids

[edgy ledge]

i got all 3 in drop down room

[sharp egret]

just runnin out of loot

so i need some help

[edgy ledge]

usually ppl here don t actually come in raid and help beginners

try looking for group

#pvp-lfg

[edgy ledge]

idk why

[copper siren]

imitating reality

[rain wing]

so lighthouse hasn't really been working out for me on money runs

for scavs at least

where else shd I go?

[edgy ledge]

reserve is my fav

check buildings near heli

rush them

ignore evrything else

also check heli and boxes near it

extract mountain or checkpoint fence

[bold kernel]

yeah because theres only three places that are good to loot and everyone knows about them and anyone who spawns near them rushes them

[rain wing]

ah fuck i also haven't learned reserve

[edgy ledge]

play it scav only aand watch yt videos on it

u ll learn it in 2 days max

[bold kernel]

woods scav runs for military camp, scav cabins, and see if rashala and his guards are dead and there might be spare loot that nobody could fit

[smoky moth]

once you get reserve related quests i'll bring you

[edgy ledge]

pretty easy map

[bold kernel]

personally i only scav on reserve and customs

customs and reserve are the maps where people are most likely to miss loot

[edgy ledge]

shturman right?

[rain wing]

alr thx

[bold kernel]

yeah mb

[edgy ledge]

i think reserve best scav map

lighthous ppl don t @ me

[rain wing]

then again tbf i only ever check the hotspots on lighthouse

[bold kernel]

i've scaved many times into customs, walked into USEC building, and roller and green screen havent even been opened with 10 minutes left in raid

[rain wing]

rn I have a bunch of woods quests

[edgy ledge]

good map to scav, hard to learn imo

it s good that u have the mountain to kinda orient urself

[bold kernel]

I scav into customs, run to USEC, hit USEC, smoke stack, little crackhouse, and then hit the stashes in each corner, then extract

i usually make 300k-500k doing that

[smoky moth]

any quests that need you to go to somewhere?

[rain wing]

wait if I die while doing the convoy quest do I lose progress?

[edgy ledge]

yep u have to hit both and survive

wiki is wrong

[rain wing]

ah

fuck

i died on the run where I got both

[smoky moth]

Quest steps do not need to be completed in succession - It is possible to discover each location in separate raids, however after discovering the 2nd objective extraction is necessary, otherwise progress is reset to only the 1st objective being completed

you gotta extract as soon as you find them

i'll bring you, lemme do my customs extraction first

[rain wing]

I'm getting off rn

I'll be back on later tonight

[tough oyster]

Im officially poor again

spent the last remaining bits of my money on the air filter

[sharp egret]

so legit

might click on it

totally not disocrds

[bold kernel]

damn got muted quic

quick*

[tame shard]

omg thank you so much !!

free nitro wooww!!!

[quaint onyx]

@weak shadow

👍

[bold kernel]

gj jannies

[barren sapphire]

solar still broken?

[dire rock]

i havent heard otherwise

[barren sapphire]

does it just burn fuel "normally" when logged off, like as if the solar hasnt been built.

Or does it burn twice as fast as your normal non-solar rate, when logged of?

[dire rock]

id assume its always fucked

[graceful heath]

what does the ricohet chance mean?

[edgy pelican]

@graceful heath A bullet bouncing off whatever it hits. If it ricochets off your helmet, it will not penetrate. Dealing only 1 dmg

[dire rock]

the higher the chance the more areas that can cause a richocet

[edgy pelican]

@graceful heath THe chance for a bullet to bounce

[graceful heath]

i see thanks for info

[dire rock]

its not a percent increase so i wouldnt worry about it too much, main things on a helmet are armored areas and class

[bold kernel]

Can someone tell me how to get the compass?

[smoky moth]

you must finish Prapor's Search mission quest

or buy it from jaeger LL1

[bold kernel]

which one is the better way?

[smoky moth]

quest ofc

if you memorize the maps, you wouldnt even need the compass anymore

(still need it for some confusing spawns on woods)

[bold kernel]

disocrds

[rain wing]

wowowowo guys I god free nitro

[signal ledge]

guys i need help laying tarkov i know how to play and know the map but i dont know the xtracts

extracts

[bold kernel]

@thick briar

[rain wing]

use mapgenie

it's helpful

[abstract phoenix]

whats better, reserves or woods for loot?

[rain wing]

it doesn't have lighthouse

and

reserve I think

[edgy pelican]

Woods.

[bold kernel]

reserve is more consistent imo

[edgy pelican]

Reserve is good with keys.

[bold kernel]

anyone got any reliable spark plug spawns? i did 3 scav raids and 2 pmc on woods and didntt find even a single one and i would really like that level 1 generator

[wide sedge]

Same for me

[edgy pelican]

Scav interchange for spark plugs

[quaint onyx]

tech crates

[edgy pelican]

You can craft them in hideout too

[abstract phoenix]

Interchange scav always nets me at least 1 plug

[quaint onyx]

toolboxes

[bold kernel]

tell me please how

[quaint onyx]

workbench level 2

or is it 1

[abstract phoenix]

Im pretty sure its workbench 1

[bold kernel]

no its not there

[edgy pelican]

Probably level 2

Workbench level 2

Checking

Work bench level 2 it is.

[bold kernel]

even if it was level 1 i would need the generator to craft it so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rain wing]

wtf do headphones do?

other than like

make you hear less

or

[edgy pelican]

They make you hear more.

[rain wing]

oh wait

they do?

[smoky moth]

yes

[edgy pelican]

A good example is that if you crouch walk at the lowest speed. You wont hear it without headphones. But with, there will be a faint sound.

[smoky moth]

they increase footsteps

[bold kernel]

it makes it easier to hear footsteps or aiming down sights i think

[rain wing]

I thought they just muffled your hearing

[smoky moth]

and reduce ambient noises

[rain wing]

ohhh

[graceful heath]

is the 12/70 Grizzly 40 Slug any good?

[rain wing]

oh

[ornate steppe]

no

[graceful heath]

ok

[ornate steppe]

if u have questions about ammo just use this chart https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Pp8tKScb0jB66cOCJSAlNn-iKERMXd9FVkSmSq83qn8/edit#gid=64053005

[smoky moth]

Use only physical cores was the issue i gotten 50% gpu

its 100% now, but i dont see an increase in performance

what is real

[dire rock]

battle buddy app on your phone also has good ammo stats and i find it more convenient

[queen steeple]

Aight Im confused. I ran hillsidehouse key on lighthouse 3 times and 2/3 times it was absolutely empty. Is there a loot vacuum cheat at play here or does the house just not spawn loot? I ask this because I looted merin in the same run and found a VPX and Rolex, so they didnt vacuum that I guess.

[smoky moth]

could be loot vacuum cheats

encountered this on labs too, blue marked keycard room was empty

except they left a salewa

[edgy pelican]

Most likley isnt a cheater, but the new dynamic loot system.

If you join a raid that is somewhat empty, most loot spawns have nothing. Along with the fact that lighthouse got nerfed again 3 days ago

[bold kernel]

should i get this

[edgy pelican]

Depends on where you are in the punisher quest sieres

[bold kernel]

im still on first one

[edgy pelican]

Might be a smart move then. I dont think its more than 1 mil? And if you can shove 1 mil in there during your time until the epsilon container, its worth it.

I think it costs 1 mil*?

[bold kernel]

okay its like 600k i think

[edgy pelican]

Then i would do it

[bold kernel]

alrr ill do it then

okee i did it it was 1 mil lol

what do i do with the alpha container now

[edgy pelican]

Sell it.

To a trader. You wont get much for it

[bold kernel]

i cant sell it

[edgy pelican]

Ragman buys it. Doesnt he?

[edgy pelican]

Did you check all traders?

[bold kernel]

yea

[edgy pelican]

If you cant sell it. Just delete it. Unless you want to keep it?

[bold kernel]

eh ill just delete it

[queen steeple]

No trader buys them this wipe. I yesterday got my Epsilon and was a little bummed out I couldnt sell my Alpha for the usual 136k

[bold kernel]

daang

[edgy pelican]

Lagger. When you have max endurance and want to level strenght. You can put a tank battery in the epsilon and level it.

You cant do that in the gamme

[bold kernel]

tf i just bought full durability zabralo from fence ll4 for 300k lol

[woeful spruce]

bruh nice, how'd you get your fence rep so high

[bold kernel]

car

im desperate to sell. i have no space left (i dont have flee)

[balmy peak]

veritas

[open salmon]

buy otherjunkbox

[balmy peak]

1 krasavch

[bold kernel]

true

[open salmon]

firesteel

bulbex

[woeful spruce]

you dont need like 60% of this at all

[bold kernel]

what to sell?

[balmy peak]

keep military power filter until lvl 15 and then sell it on flea

unless you want 3 of them for a hideout upgrade

[bold kernel]

ok

[unkempt ingot]

is buying the things required for the beta container barter worth it?

[nova sentinel]

how expensive are these looties

2 min scav run in factory

[unkempt ingot]

gp coin is 50k on flea

[spring crag]

I just got the game, and I am struggling. Not from getting murdered, but I can't extract. I have been to multiple ex points in several missions, even one with green smoke, but no extraction.

[unkempt ingot]

access card is about 60

helmet is cheap, 22k from ragman

[bold kernel]

best way is to play offline mode until u know the extracts in my opinion

[nova sentinel]

nice ty

[spring crag]

I have a map that shows them, but nothing happens when I go there

[bold kernel]

double press (o) in the raid to see ur extracts

[bold kernel]

all extracts doesnt work for u

[spring crag]

I have done that, but which are active?

[pure hinge]

Hello! I have a question about disk space. I'm playing the game for now about two years and the updates are just coming, but I'm running out of disk space. If I reinstall the game will I get some extra disk space or is this idea completely wrong?

[unkempt ingot]

zagustin is about 37, shattered is 20, armor is 60

[pure hinge]

Rn the game takes about 26gb and the launcher 12.2gb

so that is a pretty big chunk

[spring crag]

How do I which points are active? Is it the points with ????? next to them?

[bold kernel]

the question marks indicates that they might be open

[whole whale]

Uninstalling wont change the size the file needs to be. If its taking up too much space, you might need to uninstall it or remove some other programa

[bold kernel]

the ones without question marks are guaranted to be open

[bold kernel]

Get sherpa, there is pinned disc for sherpa hub, i had couple of runs with one yesterday it was epic and i learned a lot

[bold kernel]

worth

[spring crag]

I played offline with no PvE and went to 4 different points and never got an extract.

[bold kernel]

strange

[bold kernel]

probably in the wrong spot

[whole whale]

Mapgenie has a map for every map. And you cant just go to any random extract, it has to be on the list when you double tap O

[spring crag]

I must have just been unlucky and missed all the active ones.

[spring crag]

Yeah Mapgenie is great

[whole whale]

If you didnt extract, highly possible.

[spring crag]

I need a second monitor

[bold kernel]

Use it on your phone

[spring crag]

So I died a lot and have no gear left, do I go to the traders and seem if I can buy anything?

[bold kernel]

Try scav, free gear/guns

[spring crag]

I'm old the screen to small for my eyes

[spring crag]

I tried twice and got killed before I could find the extract.

[bold kernel]

Keep trying tho, i go out once in a 5 games if im lucky tbh because im new as well

[spring crag]

It's a tuff game. I thought Apex had a steep curve, this is brutal.

[bold kernel]

This game is brutal yeah but its fun

It has its ups and downs

[spring crag]

I can't say I've had much fun yet, just trying to power through.

[valid hatch]

labs card is like double that wdym

[spring crag]

Thanks for the help. I'm off to bed.

[bold kernel]

As i said, im playing this game for like a week now, i got into couple of runs with sherpa yesterday, try to ask for one on sherpa hub(disc pinned in pinned messages) and you will learn a lot

[whole whale]

Im order to really have fun at any shooter, you have to have decent aim. I recommend trying out aimlabs if you're having trouble with aim. If its just map navigation and moving around, that will take time to learn, but always look for small indicators to figure out where you are.

[bold kernel]

Can aimlab simulate tarkov guns recoil?

[whole whale]

Its not about the recoil, its about the reaction time.

[bold kernel]

I struggle with recoil

[unkempt ingot]

train in offline raids

[bold kernel]

whats the best thing to do with 1,9 mil with no flee

[whole whale]

Build low recoil guns, practice in the shooting range, the game gives you PLENTY of options to train.

[whole whale]

Wait for flee

[bold kernel]

Well first have to get the workbench i cant find freakin bolts

[whole whale]

Check the back of interchange. A lot of tool boxes there.

[unkempt yoke]

how much fuel should i keep cause i feel like i have too much

[shadow ginkgo]

how do people mention link voice channels?

[whole whale]

Put a # than the channel name

[whole whale]

Full generator + 2 spare cans

[bold kernel]

I grind customs only for now

[whole whale]

If youre talking VC though, idk

Well something like

#beginners-chat

Its gotta be something thats in the server

[shadow ginkgo]

its <> before and after

[whole whale]

Ah alright

[shadow ginkgo]

thxs

[unkempt yoke]

ok so i have too much

[whole whale]

Oh yeah

Keep 2 of the gray ones

Sell the rest imo

But

The blue ones can be used for crafting.

[bold kernel]

sell all the gray ones, buy them from prapor instead lol

[errant oracle]

could anyone help me do courtesy visit on shoreline? i dont know that map at all

[bold kernel]

you'll save 80k each can

[whole whale]

I havent touched that map

You could check #pvp-lfg though

[errant oracle]

yea i need to do it to get the second jaeger level

[whole whale]

Makes sense
