[scenic bramble]

@wary valley 20

[pliant minnow]

[wary valley]

I use 10 mags every raid

And they are all empty by the end

[sudden mountain]

3 - 4 maybe 5, i usally pick up at least 1 weapon along the raid

[pliant minnow]

How long do I wait, is it actually downloading and just not displaying?

[open hedge]

I fill a pilgrim with mags and run out by the end

[scarlet jetty]

I bring 2 extra mags and some extra ammo in my secure or pocket

[wary valley]

I just waited

[bold kernel]

I mainly use semiautos so one in the gun and 3 mags is enough tbh

i personally bring 2-4 depending on the map

[open hedge]

True giga chads use the rfb

[foggy stratus]

ur asking the golden question everyones been asking for years for several different games. nobody knows but the devs

[true zenith]

[bold kernel]

Yeah in a community announcement

[bold lark]

Painkiller

[bold kernel]

that vector is a crime

[foggy stratus]

the only game that sticks to wipe and update schedules, regardless how dogshit is rust

[bold kernel]

does my hideout reset with every wipe?

[foggy stratus]

yes

everything

[bold kernel]

kcuf

[foggy stratus]

basically u get a new account every 6ish months

it isnt bad

its actually refreshing

[bold kernel]

:(

[clear tiger]

to keep things fresh

[bold kernel]

i guess

[foggy stratus]

by month 2-3 the game gets old/ repetitive

[scenic bramble]

@clear tiger fresh

6months?

[foggy stratus]

every wipe cycle has been about 6 months

some more some less

the median is 6

[scenic bramble]

I want to turn on myself after a month

[true zenith]

how long it takes you guys to reach lvl 15 ?

[bold kernel]

Are you able to replace the Splint with something like an ALU-Splint and maybe bring a Calok-B too instead?

[foggy stratus]

2 days this wipe. i got lvl 42 in 2 weeks

[true zenith]

damn , thats fast

i'm just lvl 10, started on the wipe

[open hedge]

Took me a while because I didn’t play during start of wipe

[foggy stratus]

eh, its just knowing where to go, what to grab and being efficient about it

[open hedge]

Like 2 weeks before I actually went for anything

[clear tiger]

same

[bold kernel]

Yeah I have been hashing out scav runs for money and items

[foggy stratus]

this is also my third wipe actually tasking, last 2 ive gotten kappa quest, one of which gotten kappa before this dogshit xp requirement

[open hedge]

Cope

[foggy stratus]

[scenic bramble]

Bsg give alpha armband

@foggy stratus lol

[foggy stratus]

bro ive gained like 5 strength levels in 2 days doing that route

its not even funny

with that, id prob be 3/4 of the way to max strength

[open hedge]

Bsg should give me a armband just for me a unique one

[scenic bramble]

Anyone wanna add and maybe do some raids this weekend?

[open hedge]

Since I’m so helpful

[scarlet jetty]

We need more armbands in-game

[whole crest]

how much is stormtrooer helm

[scarlet jetty]

Not quest locked ones

[coarse raptor]

wow you guys level fast, been playing since jan 4th, only level 27 lol

[open hedge]

70-80k

[foggy stratus]

this one?

[scenic bramble]

@scarlet jetty there is already a lot

[clear tiger]

i've had a streak of bad luck. only survived one raid in like 13 raids

[open hedge]

I started after you pretty much and I’m lvl 33

[spice radish]

very new to game looking for a small grp of people to chill and learn with, getting smoked by scav players but have finished 2 raids lol

[whole crest]

why wouldyou ever pay 80 for lv2

[open hedge]

^

[scenic bramble]

2 labs ones, 2 or so team 1s and more

[scarlet jetty]

Not really

[true zenith]

i'm so bad, at least my K/D ratio is 0.97 , lol

[foggy stratus]

the storm trooper facemask for LZSH etc are only 35-40k

[whole crest]

most i pay for drip is ghost baclava and round glasses

[foggy stratus]

protects against most pistol and shotgun grounds from scavs, especially good for NVG runs

[coarse raptor]

it'll go up as you get used to killing more scavs

I was at .04 K/D lol

[open hedge]

I use nvg as a facesheild

[clear tiger]

mine is like 1.30 and i only did like 16 raids

[open hedge]

I have 2.07

[foggy stratus]

🤮

[whole crest]

i have 1 .5

[open hedge]

Would be higher if I wasn’t a troll

[true zenith]

thanks to the scavs im not having 0.01 kd

[foggy stratus]

my survival rate is actual dogshit

i hate it

[open hedge]

26% survival rate

[whole crest]

ive already naded my self twice

[clear tiger]

mine is 10%

or something like that

not even

7%

[coarse raptor]

I'm finally decent enough at aiming where I can generally take on scav now but I'm still horrible against players, you can give me a slick and altyn and I bet you the other guy will still take me out 9 times outta 10 lol

[scenic bramble]

Anyone na east and play on weekends?

[empty pelican]

farming part 4 is needed for kappa right

[foggy stratus]

yes

[open hedge]

How does one only play on weekends

[scenic bramble]

Parents

[whole crest]

weekend rats are the worst

[scenic bramble]

Shool

[foggy stratus]

i wouldnt play the game at all if that was the case. weekends are littered with rats and hackers

[true zenith]

work

[scenic bramble]

And that

[open hedge]

Work on tarkov

This is a life

[clear tiger]

i just play because i just do all of my assignments online and i got plenty of time

[open hedge]

Not a game

[clear tiger]

tarkov is a lifestyle

[scenic bramble]

Die in tarkov die irl

[foggy stratus]

tarkov is a self hatred coping mechanism

[clear tiger]

go broke in tarkov go broke irl

[true zenith]

if tarkov only paid the bills

[scenic bramble]

Headeyes =headeyes irl

[open hedge]

Bro my survival rate is so bad because early wipe there was a huge hacking wave so I died like 90000 times almost made me quit

[clear tiger]

people should be paid to play this game

[true zenith]

if i could scav irl like in tarkov, then ..

[foggy stratus]

u say that like its not bad rn

[clear tiger]

we need financial compensation for the damage this game has caused

[open hedge]

It’s not as bad

[whole crest]

tbh

[scenic bramble]

100 bucks+ on this buggy mess

[whole crest]

games rlyfun

[foggy stratus]

labs is still unplayable

[whole crest]

i dont ever get mad really

[open hedge]

My survival rate would probably be around 50% not 25 if I didn’t play during early wipe

[scenic bramble]

The roblox version has less bugs

[whole crest]

labs is playable what

[clear tiger]

it's fun but rage inducing when i get head-eyes by a scav with a toz

[dawn garnet]

need to find 5 manuals for a weekly, any place they spawn more often?

[true zenith]

i main Customs, luckily by the time i go to labs will be fixed already

[scenic bramble]

@dawn garnet nope

[foggy stratus]

just scav into reserve and hunt the filing cabinets

[whole crest]

why is everyone complaining about labs

[scarlet jetty]

drawers

[dawn garnet]

gotcha

[bold lark]

Drawers are gonna be your best bet

They can be in jackets but not as likely

[foggy stratus]

theyre called filing cabinets people, not drawers

[open hedge]

Nah

[scenic bramble]

Labs isn't even that bad rn if you only have 1 server selected

[open hedge]

Dressers

[clear tiger]

i wish i had friends that played this game

[scenic bramble]

@clear tiger wish I had friends...

[bold lark]

silver boxes

[dawn garnet]

level 25, 50% survival, 3kdr - first wipe ever, not too bad?

[open hedge]

Twice my survival rate

[whole crest]

yea 1 server seletd for labs

[open hedge]

Stupid hackers

[whole crest]

sometimes i do auto usa

[scenic bramble]

@dawn garnet hacks 100% Lvndmark?

[open hedge]

Hackers ruined my kd

[scenic bramble]

Is it u

[clear tiger]

drip

[whole crest]

7%

[clear tiger]

it was already mentioned

[scenic bramble]

Ik its the first thing I saw

[foggy stratus]

god im so glad i chose USEC this wipe

Bear clothing actually sucks aside from the Telnik or whatever

[scenic bramble]

My friend chose bear rip

[bold lark]

More people need to be bear so I can get this rsass barter done

[topaz ocean]

Does anyone have the tar one directors key? Need help with the delivery from the past quest

[dawn garnet]

lol not that level, I just take my time- try not to rush through. Learned real fast early this isn't any normal FPS

[scarlet jetty]

Bear drip is great, just rock flannel

[whole crest]

i got 2 dorms marked int he first week

farmed that so hard

[scenic bramble]

@whole crest tell me your secret

[whole crest]

got rsass and spammed gunsmith quets

[foggy stratus]

RIP

[open hedge]

The rsass barter is not hard

[clear tiger]

i think i should try to get the lowest amount of survives

[foggy stratus]

yeah i need to kill more bears aswell so i can use the rsass more lul

[bold lark]

It's not hard, but I might've done the junkbox trade again before the rsass one

[scenic bramble]

@open hedge is when ur trash

[bold lark]

[foggy stratus]

omegalul

[scenic bramble]

They spawn a bunch in marked keys to

[scenic bramble]

@open hedge rsass

[foggy stratus]

[whole crest]

[scenic bramble]

RSASS GOOD

[foggy stratus]

RSASS hits diff

[scenic bramble]

Lol

[open hedge]

Rsass feels good

[whole crest]

sr-25 enjoyer

[foggy stratus]

its aight, its just not an RSASS tho

[pure mist]

M1A superiority

[foggy stratus]

sound wise the RSASS is just incomparably better

[pure mist]

M1A always been king

[scenic bramble]

Juice cannon gang

[whole crest]

any ash-12 enjoyers

[open hedge]

When add the m14

I need full auto

[foggy stratus]

m1a is just floaty for me

idk why

[clear tiger]

just gonna do offline raids to find the machinery key then try to do it for real

[whole crest]

i can help you today with ur quests

[scenic bramble]

@clear tiger its at the bed on the second floor of 3 story dorms

[tulip gate]

I got one sitting in my stash

[pure mist]

Lol look at the stats it’s just better

[muted fox]

God damn spam

[foggy stratus]

ooooooh big stats guy.

[whole crest]

sick

[foggy stratus]

they both shoot m62, and if i can be more accurate with it, stats dont mean shit

[whole crest]

bleh

[foggy stratus]

personal use case will always be more important then paper stats

[inland cliff]

just got merin, what should i do with it?

[whole crest]

use it

[pure mist]

I’m talking objectively?

[clear tiger]

just give me a moment to finish this offline raid, also fyi my headset mic doesn't work

[tulip gate]

hit merin

[foggy stratus]

you responded to my message saying it feels floaty to me with a paper stat

[inland cliff]

cant sell it or anything right

[raven linden]

drive away

[whole crest]

im still at school so its gonna be a while lol

[tulip gate]

I think you can sell it but it's more worth to use it

[whole crest]

il just start dropping needed keys for youu

[clear tiger]

lmk when you get back

[tulip gate]

you'll get more using it rather than selling it

[inland cliff]

thanks

[whole crest]

and stuff u need

[pure mist]

Fine. OBJECTIVELY ITS BETTER

[clear tiger]

thank you

[foggy stratus]

was never denying that

[pure mist]

I thought it was implied

[whole crest]

no problem

[open hedge]

It’s not on paper

[whole crest]

half the time im just sitting in my stash

[pure mist]

Stats can’t be subjective lol

[clear tiger]

just ping me when you get back

[whole crest]

alr

[foggy stratus]

stg the RSASS and m1a have different positions on ur screen

one sticks out way more for some reason

makes me feel like im aiming a bus

[open hedge]

Or can they?

[whole crest]

is the m1a the bus

[tulip gate]

rsass is probably heavier

I think rsass has longer barrel too

[foggy stratus]

RSASS isnt the one that feels like im aiming a bus, m1a does

[tulip gate]

bruh

[foggy stratus]

i feel confident af with an RSASS, i cant stand the m1a

[whole crest]

i feel the opposit

[scenic bramble]

M1a is huge on screen with rsass attachments

[rigid wind]

is this thing any good or should i just sell

[open hedge]

Rsass has the funnier sound

[foggy stratus]

exactly

[scenic bramble]

@rigid wind sell

[tulip gate]

I got a suppressed SR-25 with a specter 1/4x sitting in my stash but idk what map to bring it on

[whole crest]

i run m1a gangsta grip and holographic

[rigid wind]

aight ty

[open hedge]

Why do you @ people and not just respond

[scenic bramble]

@foggy stratus but the rsass still smaller on screen

[tulip gate]

5.56 is overall shitty this wipe

[scenic bramble]

Easier

[open hedge]

It’s really not though

[whole crest]

any map i like running aroudn with a sr-25 like a full auto

[tulip gate]

unless you get 855A1

[scenic bramble]

I'm on mobile I have to press once to ping

[carmine shore]

decent budget loadout?

[open hedge]

Only good 556 is Warmage

[foggy stratus]

definitely a different FOV

[scenic bramble]

@open hedge agreed

[hazy veldt]

ratnik over trashbucket

[foggy stratus]

u hold the M1A higher

[scarlet jetty]

Been searching for one for about 2 weeks now

[whole crest]

get the class 4 armor for 75k

[whole crest]

i can drop u it

[open hedge]

Ratnik more expensive

[random widget]

yessssss 👀

[tulip gate]

class 4 armor

[hazy veldt]

2 bleach is 20k, so no.

[whole crest]

penis helmet best helmet

[carmine shore]

i just had this armour on me anyway

[open hedge]

Barter trades are a pain

[hazy veldt]

Not really?

[tulip gate]

I usually barter for an mmac

[woeful spruce]

always take headphones

[tulip gate]

been saved a lot of times by mmac

[woeful spruce]

headphones more important than helmet if you have to choose

[sinful valve]

Is it better to craft the ledx or just buy a key or two on shoreline and run it?

[whole crest]

ur basically wearing paper

craft

[tulip gate]

craft

shoreline keys you have to go to pvp hotspot to get it

[sinful valve]

Sweet thanks

[foggy stratus]

the RSASS is lower

[open hedge]

Since you quit you should give me everything you had

[pure mist]

yes

[pure mist]

why?

[foggy stratus]

i cant stand the M1A because of that reason

[tulip gate]

give me half bro

[open hedge]

Your not gonna use it

[sinful valve]

I spawned into my scav run with ophthalmoscope so now I just need a leddy

[pure mist]

i still play on special occasions, even if i were to give out my stuff why would i give it to you?

[foggy stratus]

the M1a's FOV pisses me off, its the only gun with that problem

[open hedge]

We are buds

We’ve known each other for very long now

[pure mist]

no we're not

[tulip gate]

[open hedge]

But

[foggy stratus]

LMFAO

[foggy stratus]

[true zenith]

what would be a special ocassion ?

the birth of a child ?

[open hedge]

Bruh

[unique steeple]

welcome to the club

[true zenith]

the decease of a mother in law ?

[pure mist]

like when my friend quit the game for 2 wipes then came back?

[rigid wind]

oh every website said shoreline was the best for beginners

why isnt it?

[random widget]

I mean, if I had a month or more, jeez :D

[pure mist]

there are two parts of shoreline

resort and other parts of shoreline

[open hedge]

It’s worthless without 10 million keys

[tame shard]

@pure mist yooo remember when i gave you that pen in 6th grade? btw i heard you quit?

[pure mist]

resort is not beginner friendly

but the other parts are alright

[pure mist]

i didn't go to 6th grade

[versed valley]

if you run factory all the time its really not much

[tame shard]

😭

[pure mist]

i skipped 6th grade

[open hedge]

@pure mist remember when I set you up with your girlfriend oh by the way I heard you quit

[pure mist]

joke on you im a virgin

[rigid wind]

o.o

[open hedge]

Boyfriend?

Remember when I

Uh

Did all you homework for 3 years

[tame shard]

remember when i bailed you out of jail bro

[pure mist]

you sure not the opposite?

[open hedge]

Nah man

Remember when I got you out of jail?

I broke you out

[tame shard]

ayo that was me

[pure mist]

idk how well educated is the US, but im sure i would be the top 0.1% who taken multivariable calculus at 9th grade

[foggy stratus]

@pure mist gimme ur shit or the penguin gets it

[open hedge]

Nah it was me

[pure mist]

there you go penguin

[woven plume]

[tame shard]

[open hedge]

I had to bribe the school to let you in

[stone tendon]

fresh to this wipe. played before but always solo so never really got far.

[pure mist]

lmao

[stone tendon]

wondering if anyone wants an extra gun

[tame shard]

that's kind of intented though 💀

[woven plume]

@tame shard im playing on tv its waaay worse for me

[tame shard]

damnn

[woven plume]

if dude was in bush id never see him ever on pains

[tame shard]

i don't think you're supposed to or can remove it though

[glacial chasm]

got the game recently and am trying to do gunsmith part 1 i need to lower the recoil but i dont know how any suggestions?

[tame shard]

or change it

[woven plume]

just wanna know if theres a way to make it less bad

[true zenith]

wait until you have jaegar unlocked, you can buy all the parts there i think

[noble turret]

What server?

[glacial chasm]

ive got jaeger

[stone tendon]

US

[rigid wind]

smartz

[noble turret]

Ah, that's a bit far away

[tulip gate]

gk02

[woven plume]

@glacial chasm https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Gunsmith_-_Part_1 wiki tells u all parts u need

[pure mist]

nah it's just time

[rigid wind]

true multivariable calc is the easy part

[open hedge]

Time that I had to fight the gods to give to you remember?

[echo flare]

I'm stuck on that one i need Jaegar LL2 to buy the extended mag

[true zenith]

you can have it from any scav run

or check fence

maybe it has one with the extended mag you can buy and use

[echo flare]

oh okay i'll give that a go now!

[dawn geyser]

You had me squinting trying to figure out what Tarkov map that was for a hot minute

[untold elm]

is there a keycard called the #21WS?

[foggy stratus]

bruh. theres no snow on tarkov lmfao

[dawn geyser]

I have a colorblind filter on and it looks yellow

lol

[open hedge]

But then why is there white sticky stuff on my monitor?

[rigid wind]

complex func theory got me fucked up tho

[tame shard]

it's coming out of the monitor

[pure mist]

wasn't fun that's for sure

[fickle olive]

Fuck scav karma, I got minus rep again because I killed other scav who shot at me but missed

[dawn geyser]

They do it on purpose

[rigid wind]

so do you lose the compass or rangefinder when you die?

or is it like a pouch

[dawn geyser]

Compass has its own slot, Compass, scabbard, armband,container slots are not lost upon death

Rangefinder however does not currently have its own slot.

[rigid wind]

so if i buy the compass from jaeger i cant lose it

that shits 200k btw o.0

[pure marsh]

Sadly

[echo flower]

you get one as a quest reward

[scenic bramble]

You guys heard about the scav case secure container fanny pack thing?

[dawn geyser]

Barry you can do the quest and you'll get it free.

[dawn geyser]

Yes, it's happened

[rigid wind]

for which trader?

[scenic bramble]

Hm

[foggy stratus]

i cant think of a time i even used the compass

[pure marsh]

Same

[scenic bramble]

Didn't even know it was a thing until today

[dawn geyser]

I think the "Search Mission" quest gives you it

[pure mist]

get one free from search mission

for finding prap's convoy

[dawn geyser]

I use it all the time when i'm with squads

Really good for when you're learning a map

Other than that pretty useless

[open salmon]

if i die from delivery form the past when im delivering in facotry do i have to go back to customs to get the thing again

?

[echo flower]

I keep getting the scav case error trying to build the module in my hideout. I tried what other people suggested and put the full ones in my sorting table but it still didnt work

I even tried to put it highest in my stash and it took the 2nd one..

[scenic bramble]

@open salmon yes

[echo flower]

should I just move everything over because I know i t takes that one (one is FIR the other isnt)

[open salmon]

really so i have do do all over

[open hedge]

Remove everything

From both

[echo flower]

theres no space

[scenic bramble]

Yes

[echo flower]

I have 4 scav cases

3 are full

[vast plume]

do you make the pistols full auto with a mod or are there full auto pistols?

[echo flower]

lol

[lusty glacier]

[open hedge]

Aps apb and glock 18c are only full auto

[high glacier]

@lusty glacier korund very heavy

[open hedge]

Use less shit

[lusty glacier]

im overweight iwthout korund

[open hedge]

That ash 12 is ugly as fuck

[lusty glacier]

tf?

[echo flower]

grenades

[dawn geyser]

You can't really run the Ash-12 unless you run lighter armor

Ash-12 as a gun is just heavy af as it is

[lusty glacier]

alr

[dawn geyser]

The bullets too

[open hedge]

Give me the gun to reduce weight

[lusty glacier]

u insulted my gun

no

[echo flower]

3 extra mags is a lot

run 2 and loose ammo in your butt

[foggy stratus]

3 extra mags isnt a lot lol

[lusty glacier]

a mag is 1.6kg tho

[foggy stratus]

big deal

[echo flower]

if you're complaining about weight it is and when do you need to unload 80 rounds in a single fight

[open hedge]

Use slick instead of korund

[foggy stratus]

when im actually fighting groups and not solos?

[echo flower]

you must be missing a lot

[lusty glacier]

slick is 0.1kg lighter than korund

lmao

[open hedge]

Better mobility and armor class

[foggy stratus]

and a tier better

[versed valley]

still lighter

[lusty glacier]

yeye class 5 class 6 same thing

[foggy stratus]

really isnt but sure

[open hedge]

Not really

Run a Paca if you need less weight

Paca and a kolpack

[pure marsh]

Or mmac

[lusty glacier]

is there any light class 5 i can buy with max traders?

[open hedge]

No

Light class 5 doesn’t really exist other then those fancy tac rigs

[lusty glacier]

ah ok

[open hedge]

A18 I think it’s called is only class 4

[lusty glacier]

simple i just go aacpc

wait my condors are half damaged after a raid

dose that mean they saved me

[open hedge]

In theory

[topaz ocean]

[lusty glacier]

[open hedge]

Hearing

[lusty glacier]

idfk if they are good

but a 28 recoil m4 runner who died to me was wearing them

so they must be good

[unique steeple]

[lusty glacier]

[unique steeple]

still

[lusty glacier]

u think he is asking why i wear headphones? lol cmon

[unique steeple]

xcel is prolly the best imo

[unique steeple]

thats how he worded it

[lusty glacier]

well if u guys speak enough english u can understand some context

[unique steeple]

ye

[lusty glacier]

u dont need to take it so literally

[unique steeple]

also the sound

[unique steeple]

nah maybe he doesnt like to hear

cant assume these days

[white pond]

yoo i just got killed but there was no gunsound

is this a cheat or bug

[hazy veldt]

desync probably

[open salmon]

ok but if i hide it in facotry asnd after the hide do i still need to survive

[white pond]

he shot me a few times tho i was running

[regal wagon]

can i put key tool in doc case?

[open hedge]

No

[scenic bramble]

@open salmon I don't think so

But I would try and survive either way just in case

[open hedge]

If I doesn’t specify survival then don’t worry about it

[open salmon]

i did survied with a friend

and tagilla started chasing us

[open hedge]

2 past tense

Your English is invalid

[pure marsh]

You know what else is past tense?

[open hedge]

My mother

[pure marsh]

Running in a campsite

Dun-dun-tsssst

[hallow spindle]

you mean past tents?

[open hedge]

That’s present tense

[hallow spindle]

i dont get the joke

[scenic bramble]

Past tents pass tense

Sounds similar

Haha

Funny

[hallow spindle]

average tarkov player humor

[scenic bramble]

Sleep deprivation humor be like

[hallow spindle]

is it me or are tarkov streamers unbearably unfunny

[pure marsh]

Thanks man

I really had to wind that one up

[scenic bramble]

Your welcome

[open hedge]

All tarkov players are middle aged men

[pure marsh]

I'm 23 😔

[scenic bramble]

Lvndmark hilarious

Id like to see amouranth tarkov stream

Oops I dropped this red card

Let me pick it up

[pure marsh]

Can I have my midlife crisis early or is it a set in stone kinda thing?

[open hedge]

Stone ocean

I had my mid life crisis at 14

Does this mean I’m gonna die at 24

I won’t live to see tarkov get out of early access

[scenic bramble]

Because it wont

[thorny hearth]

is it true that the wipe is in 5 months for europe?

[scenic bramble]

Wtf

Nobody knows

[open hedge]

Americas wipe is next week but Europe is in 3 months

[scenic bramble]

What

[open hedge]

That was a lie

All wipes are the same

[thorny hearth]

so in 3 months

thank you mister

[open hedge]

No wipe is set in stone boy

[woeful spruce]

noone knows but all servers wipe at the same time

[scenic bramble]

No

Wipe is thursday

[woeful spruce]

it could be june it could be may but might as well be july

noone knows untill like a week before

[thorny hearth]

lol

okay

[scenic bramble]

Thursday wipe

[open hedge]

Next wipe will be on the 59th of Friday

[carmine shore]

i have mad gear fear should i just bring tagilla rig into the raid and if i die pretend to laugh?

[open hedge]

Pretty much

Ease into it

Use class 4 at first

Then go up

Over like a week or 2

I used to run class 3/4 max but if you just believe in yourself it’s not hard to use gear

If you don’t use it then it’s worthless

[tacit ferry]

just killed a pmc

with 1 shotgun shell

omg

[scenic bramble]

Not that hard ngl

[open hedge]

Buckshot is very easy to kill with

[tacit ferry]

i was looting food

i was so stressed

[scenic bramble]

Ok and

Who

[open hedge]

But regardless good job

[scenic bramble]

Asked

[tacit ferry]

now time to play tetris

[lusty dagger]

Look at it this way: the nice and beautiful gear you have will make someone very happy once they take it from your character's dead body, so in a way you are being a good person by dying geared

[scenic bramble]

@lusty dagger i don't think that will help much ngl

Just makes me want to run good gear less

[lusty dagger]

Because you don't want other people to be happy after they killed you?

[scenic bramble]

Yes

Toxicity=fun

[lusty dagger]

We all die in this game all the time anyway, why not make it a good experience at least for someone 😂

[scenic bramble]

Nah

[open hedge]

Make others deaths fun to you

[lusty dagger]

Then just run shitty gear forever it's not like you cannot complete your quests and get kills without good gear

[open hedge]

Kill anything that moves even teammates

[scenic bramble]

@open hedge affirmative

[open hedge]

I get kills with shit gear because I think it’s fun

Double barrel with ftx slugs

Revolver shotty

Vpo bolt action

[lusty dagger]

You can wipe a map with a 30k shotgun and flechettes and you might not even have to put armor on you can just sprint and put ammo in your pockets

[tacit ferry]

whats this screen on the shotgun?

[open hedge]

Thermal

[scenic bramble]

Thermal

Shit thermal specifically

[tacit ferry]

ight cause in raid it was just black

so

[carmine shore]

loading in now

[tacit ferry]

thought it was just useless

[open hedge]

Well yes it’s all about skill in this game not alway gear

[carmine shore]

if i die i wont punch a whole through my monitor

maybe

[scenic bramble]

Maybe lol

[open hedge]

You need to buy the camera for it to work

[lusty dagger]

You don't need skill to run a shotgun and just hipfire at everything and then sprint away while reloading lol...but my original point was if you have a ton of gear and don't need roubles to upgrade hideout and whatever then who cares about loosing 2 3 meta guns and armors because you can just buy new ones whenever...if you still don't have max traders and stuff and have some items you cannot buy again without reaching level 42 or whatever then ofc you're gonna be careful about using it

[open hedge]

Requires a little bit of skill to not catch a bullet

Also I Don’t use buckshot

I use slugs

[lusty dagger]

Flechette's aren't buckshot so you can make a compromise hahha

[fair trench]

maybe im just bad but i feel like i could search an entire map combing it finding no one only to get gunned down from a random bush 10m from me

[open hedge]

Flechette are classed as buckshot

[fair trench]

whilst hearing literally nothing

[lusty dagger]

IDK bro flechette's were invented in vietnam war and were put in missless and mortar ammo

and flechette is bascially a nail you would use to build a house or whatever

[open hedge]

Well the buckshot class is just “something that fires more than 1 projectile”

Scatter shot if you will

But I use slug because I find it funny that slugs actually knock people over with force when you kill them since they are so big

It’s like watching a cartoon when you thorax tap someone through class 4 armor with a 70 rouble bullet

72 to be exact

[carmine shore]

ok i died

:DDDDDDD

[open hedge]

You live you learn

[lusty dagger]

You die you learn

[open hedge]

Factory is good for expensive gear if you want to learn to really not care

[lusty dagger]

yep, lost like 6 7 altyn helmets there

[open hedge]

I run gear on factory for fun

[carmine shore]

gotta love those raids where you die and cant do anything

[open hedge]

I must destroy the pistol timmies

[carmine shore]

this is my first wipe and i have like 30 hours lmao

i'll hopefully learn

[lusty dagger]

I have 600 hours played, 796 raids and I died in 549 of them....72% chance of death

[open hedge]

Dying is a part of life

[tacit ferry]

does bartering with traders increase rep

[open hedge]

I died a lot because of my raw uncaring attitude (also cheaters) but it doesn’t bother me

[lusty dagger]

no, only tasks and daily tasks

[open hedge]

26% survival rate

[pure marsh]

You don't need skill to run meta guns either. Just lmb

[carmine shore]

pretty sure i have like 15%

i hate extracts on reserve though

[quiet kraken]

upon red rebel extract, does the paracord get consumed?

[lusty dagger]

ah but you need patience to get max level traders otherwise a "meta" gun costs you 700k to build and if you have that much to build the guns you probably already have max traders and played a bunch...and at the same time a dude with flechettes and no armor shows up and hedshots you by accident by just hip firing 8 bullets in 2 seconds

[carmine shore]

you have to do some wierd shit to extract on reserve as pmc

[scenic bramble]

@quiet kraken yes

[tacit ferry]

is it worth to buy mag case

[quiet kraken]

😿

[scenic bramble]

@tacit ferry no

[open hedge]

I have 2 of them so I’d say so

[scenic bramble]

Meh

Depends what you want it for

[pure marsh]

Or you can spend a 100k max on a shotty and clap cheeks

[open hedge]

They are useful

[tacit ferry]

i just have so many random ass mags everywhere

[scenic bramble]

@tacit ferry then yes

[open hedge]

Saiga 12 with 50bmg is the smacker

[tacit ferry]

its taking up my bags

[scenic bramble]

But personally I wouldnt

With standard edition I would 100% get one tho

[lusty dagger]

right click on the mags and then filter by item and check their prices, many of them are like 2k only so you can just get rid of those...and the ones you cannot buy on the flea deffo keep those....the mags you have are cheap as fuck you can just get rid of them, empty out the ammo and get rid of the mags, keep the ammo's

[tacit ferry]

the fal mags aswell?

[scenic bramble]

And get rid of 20 round mags after you take the ammo out

[lusty dagger]

Right click and filter by item check how much they would cost you if you actually needed them

[scenic bramble]

The 20 round m4 mags need to go

Does he have flea?

[lusty dagger]

all of those mags can go, keep the ump maybe if you don't have peacekeeper leveled

[tacit ferry]

10k

nvm

[pure marsh]

I wish I enjoyed the saiga more. I just hate being limited to 5-10 shots a mag

[lusty dagger]

that means that item is taking 2 slots for 10k...meaning it's 5k per slot price you can throw it away easily

[pure marsh]

Instead of 8 in a tube fed

[scenic bramble]

@pure marsh drum mag holds 20

[tacit ferry]

alr

[open hedge]

Asexual reproduction is a action proformed by bacteria to reproduce similar to mitosis by splitting apart

[pure marsh]

But it's a 2x2 and destroys ergo

[tacit ferry]

any of this ammo good

[scenic bramble]

Both r gud

[pure marsh]

Yes. Both

[lusty dagger]

good ammos yes

[tacit ferry]

do i sell

[scenic bramble]

No

[lusty dagger]

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

[scenic bramble]

M62 is better

[pure marsh]

Facts

[tacit ferry]

i can buy the m80 from peace keeper

[scenic bramble]

@tacit ferry then keep still

[tacit ferry]

alr

[scenic bramble]

Its just extra gud ammo

[lusty dagger]

It's still really good ammo you want to use and kill everyone with it...also flies really fast

[scenic bramble]

No such thing as having too much 308

[fair trench]

Does pulling down in this game actually do anything or if im using some rando shit gun its always going to kick like a bitch?

[tacit ferry]

i might just sell all my ammo box contents

[open hedge]

However on a serious not the saiga still has the highest capacity of the shotguns with the fastest reload so it’s obviously the best

[scenic bramble]

@fair trench pulling down does something but camera recoil is probably the recoil you feel

There is actual recoil and camera recoil

[pure marsh]

Not facts

[open hedge]

How

[woeful spruce]

never fullauto a rando shit gun. with a well put together build pulling down works as well as on any other game

[lusty dagger]

it works but the barrel is still pointed upwards, put a couple of lazers on your guns and try out in an offline raid or a shooting range, you can see even when you pull the lazer points above the actual red dot sight or whatever you're using and is hitting a different spot because of the camera recoil and the barrel pointing up

[woeful spruce]

keep 762 bp 545 bs and 366 ap rest garbage

[fair trench]

Ahh I see, i'll test it out like you guys said thanks

[scenic bramble]

Keep ppbs

[fair trench]

Also i just got the punisher quest line, whats a good akm series weapon to use for shoreline?

[scenic bramble]

Thats igolnik

@fair trench akm

[lusty dagger]

if you have shooting range in hideout you can test everything before you go into a raid

[fair trench]

All the akm's i get are scav weps

is there a sight or something to make it useful?

[scenic bramble]

Ak 103 or akm

Holo and grip

[lusty dagger]

buy an AKMN from mechanic, it comes stripped down with no parts only the base gun, then put some zenit parts on it and bam you have a beatuiful AK

[scenic bramble]

With but pad on stock

[woeful spruce]

103 doesnt work for punisher

[verbal badge]

im not a beginner but i need help. im at 1.2m/1.6m for skier lv2-3, i need help know what to buy/sell for him

[scenic bramble]

@woeful spruceoh

[open hedge]

Buy random shit

[lusty dagger]

buy lazers from him and use them on your guns, and sell him same things you would to mechanic, guns and attachments...you can also buy € from him

[scenic bramble]

Toz's

[verbal badge]

yes, good thinking!

[tacit ferry]

so ill keep this ?

[lusty dagger]

yes good job

[scenic bramble]

Keep ppbs

[open hedge]

I’d keep a lot more than that but whatever

[scenic bramble]

Keep ppbs

Keep ppbs

[open hedge]

If you have an ammo case might as well use it

[tacit ferry]

alr

[woeful spruce]

just a get a garbage scav akm for as cheap as you can get, put a bastion on it with the cheapest shight you can get and use it semiauto, no point tricking out an akm for that task imo

[verbal badge]

u cant sell toz to skier apparently

[scenic bramble]

Ppbs is best 5.45 its also called igolnik

[lusty dagger]

5.45 in general sucks, change my mind lol

[open hedge]

So why does he have an ammo case if y’all are gonna make him sell everything?

[tacit ferry]

ight im gonna buy mag case

[open hedge]

He has room so he might as well keep some stuff

[scenic bramble]

@lusty dagger rpk intensifies

[lusty dagger]

He need space in stash, he selling magazines and ammo to make more room and make roubles

[verbal badge]

xDDD 5.45 is not bad, its good and also 10x better than 556

[lusty dagger]

556 and 554 both suck, change my mind lol

[verbal badge]

💀

[quiet kraken]

his ammo box ain't even full

[scenic bramble]

Mad cuz bad

[lusty dagger]

I mean all the ammo works to be fair, you shoot someone you kill someone it's that simple hahaha, some ammo is easier to do so but at the end it all works

[verbal badge]

if u run BT or better it slaps tier 5 armor easily

[woeful spruce]

statistically speaking sucks, compared to stuff like 762 but its incredibly abundant, just by playing i got 1000 bt and 800 bs sitting in my stash its a great for how easy to obtain good pen ammo for it is

[verbal badge]

the guns are easily/cheaply modded to low/high ergo builds

and overall very good caliber 👍

[scenic bramble]

Rpk and 60 rounders also very cheap rn

[sinful valve]

Recoil on 5.45 is decent in full auto

[lusty dagger]

When I was at the start of the wipe I was doing the barter trade for toilet paper and something else for an AK-74 plum, and would use it all the time

[sinful valve]

I’d take a full auto over a semi in most duels

[scenic bramble]

But it is preferably used full auto in close quarters engagements

[lusty dagger]

But later the 76 took over me

[woeful spruce]

also cheap to get a 545 gun to good recoil, baisically slap a buttpad and a jmac on it and you got a controllable gun

[open hedge]

Slap a aggressor a rk1 and a moe stock and it should be pretty cheap low effort build

A bation while we are here

[tacit ferry]

mag

s

[woeful spruce]

lookin good

[tacit ferry]

what maps are raiders on i need to get a 60 rnd ar-15 mag

[open hedge]

The way I see it if you got room for ammo/mags no point in clearing it

[tacit ferry]

for a quest

[open hedge]

Lighthouse rogues and reserve

[tacit ferry]

ight

ty

[woeful spruce]

labs if you're confident works quite well too

[tacit ferry]

that i am not

[woeful spruce]

do you know how to get raiders on reserve?

[scenic bramble]

Hermetic /d2 power

[woeful spruce]

yup, but they dont spawn 100% of button presses so just be patient

[scenic bramble]

Yeah ik

I main reserve

[tacit ferry]

i do not

[open hedge]

[woeful spruce]

im trying to help xander

[open hedge]

Reserve bad

[fresh owl]

should i keep a hold of this found in raid MP7 or just flea it

[sinful valve]

What level are your traders?

[open hedge]

Do you have a lot of money?

[fresh owl]

all lvl 1

[scenic bramble]

Flea

[sinful valve]

Sell

[river crown]

flea

[fresh owl]

alr

[river crown]

mechanic prob buys same price

[open hedge]

It costs like 200k per mag with lvl 1 traders

Including ammo

[quiet kraken]

whaa

[tacit ferry]

raiders are pretty geared correct

[fair trench]

whats a good way of getting moneyy spent on skier?

[open hedge]

Buying stuff

[scenic bramble]

Geared ish

[sinful valve]

Punisher 4 is truly punishing

I just want my epsilon bro

[scenic bramble]

They have horribly modded guns a lot of the time

@sinful valve just buy eod

[woeful spruce]

so as volk said they dont just spawn there, you gotta turn on the d2 power in the bunker and they might spawns somewhere in the bunker then or you can press the hermetic door button and then they have a chance to spawn at the train loading platforms

[river crown]

do you have flea market?

[fair trench]

yessir

[tacit ferry]

theres also a chance someones already done it correct?

[woeful spruce]

yes, people have quests to kill raiders and will try to get them too

[sinful valve]

Ah yeah, let me just pay $75 more for virtual item space

[river crown]

you can buy vulcan nightscopes for like 26k and sell them for like 23k to skier

[tacit ferry]

alr

[scenic bramble]

Its pay2win my guy

[sinful valve]

Ain’t that the fucking truth 😓

[woeful spruce]

not worth it, im sticking to standard for 2 years and its completly fine

[scenic bramble]

Cultists are where it at the rn

It is worth

[sinful valve]

I think it’s worth but I still wouldn’t buy it

[tacit ferry]

i just need a mag from the

[scenic bramble]

You can hold a docs serv injectors premed etc all at onve

[fair trench]

@river crown thank you

[tacit ferry]

raiders

[scenic bramble]

Ah

[tacit ferry]

i need the 60 rnd one

[river crown]

np :D

[woeful spruce]

do you have a method to consistently wipe them? i always struggle with that

[sinful valve]

Imo surv isn’t that great

[sinful valve]

I’d rather stack my cms’s

[tacit ferry]

this for gunsmith part 4

[scenic bramble]

There is a cheaper build than that

Look it up on the wiki

[tacit ferry]

not without the mag

the wiki one needs the mag

they both need mag

[woeful spruce]

you always need the mag

[scenic bramble]

Which gunsmith?

[woeful spruce]

4

[scenic bramble]

60rndr?

[tacit ferry]

yea

[fair trench]

@river crown are there any other items like that?

[tacit ferry]

i dont have mech 2

[woeful spruce]

yea, thats why we talking about raiders to get it

[scenic bramble]

Look up gunsmith 4 on wiki there is cheaper scopes and stuff

[tacit ferry]

i already had the scope so i might as well use it

[river crown]

umm idk tbh

[open hedge]

My school laptop just died

Got a new one

Fun

Like died as in stopped working entirely

[river crown]

rip

[tacit ferry]

damn

[open hedge]

They gave me a new one very fast though so

Back in business

[fair trench]

whats a good little medium range scope for the akm for my punisher quest, they all look the same and give no extra info lmoa

[open hedge]

2x is decent

But 1-4x is also good for close-mid

[tacit ferry]

im scared to go into reverse

i legit dont know where any of the switches are bruh

[river crown]

i like the specter 1x - 4x

[open hedge]

You need to in order to park though

[prime veldt]

I do be having a hard time getting started and how to gear up before a PMC run. I feel like 90% of my playtime is sitting there staring at my stash wondering if I can even kill anyone with the gear I choose

[open hedge]

I also recommend that but tons of people say it’s bad for some reason

[fair trench]

i was just looking at those but they are 40k and im using it on a shitty scav ak

[open hedge]

That’s pretty typical

[tacit ferry]

park?

[open hedge]

You said reverse

So I was poking fun

[tacit ferry]

ohh l

lmao

reserve

[river crown]

trust me you can take the most scuffed gun you can find and still kill anyone with it. dont overthink it

[blazing brook]

for me its like cos i keep dying with my mid/bad stuff, i am just left with the rly good stuff i have which im saving until i find a labs card and end up buying a gun from a trader, then i usually die lol

[prime veldt]

I was told to focus on being consistent and do your tasks

My tasks are ofc not even remotely hard but brooo this compass task got me getting killed every time

[open hedge]

That’s not horrible advice

[tacit ferry]

i haevnt even tried to do that bruh

[open hedge]

Early tasks are the hardest since it’s about maps you don’t know

[tacit ferry]

\

im level 15 and i havent done it

[sinful valve]

At the beginning, try to have basic meds. Put these in your alpha. Splints, painkillers, cms. Outside of the alpha, preferably in your pocket so you can quick use, I’d take an ifak or Afak (Salewa in your tac rig if you can’t get one of the previous two) and a cat hemostat in your pocket for heavy bleed

[clear tiger]

i tried to grab the machinery key, then started going towards extract only to be head, eyes'd

[sinful valve]

For weapons, I’d say the ump 45 is extremely affordable with the mechanic barter

[prime veldt]

oh ok for sure

[sinful valve]

Slap a red dot on it and do your thing

[prime veldt]

I actually have a grizzly in my butt

[open hedge]

That’s really easy if you’ll be on in like 2 hours

[tacit ferry]

probably will

[prime veldt]

bec a friend of mine gifted the edge bundle

[clear tiger]

Search mission i dont think is too bad

[prime veldt]

so I have this massive stash full of stuff

[river crown]

from what jager level can you buy the mp 153? i personally think its one of the best guns

[sinful valve]

Oh nvm

Big boy kit ftw

[clear tiger]

standard edition moment

[sinful valve]

Grizzly, surv12, injector kit

[prime veldt]

I've gotten the obj completed every time but 100% die during extract

[open hedge]

In 2 hours when I get home I will host a jaeger and woods task lingo for beginners anyone can join

This is my first announcement

[tacit ferry]

ill join

long ranged weapons best on woods?

[prime veldt]

I've just been following some scav routes for money and I'm sitting on a decent amount for my experience and idk what to be doing with it

[open hedge]

Mid range I’d say

[prime veldt]

Like do I just buy a gun from prapor and throw my head at the game until 15

[tacit ferry]

i have an assortment

[river crown]

best option is to do tasks for the xp and get lvl 15

• high trader levels are super good

[open hedge]

When I get home I’ll say what chat to go to so just look out for my message y’all

[open hedge]

Bottom is say for woods at least

[prime veldt]

I'll go focus on that, those survival tasks/kill scav tasks. The only other task i have rn is like find food for Jaeger/do the compass task

Is there a go-to armor or rig I should be messing with every time I go out? Or do people normally just use whatever they find in scav raids

[river crown]

i mean lvl 4 preferably

[tacit ferry]

could you ping me

[open hedge]

At least try and get class 3 but class 4 is the usual minimum

[river crown]

but honsetly dont use anything less then lvl 3

[prime veldt]

hm ok thx guys

Is there a lvl 1 trader weapon that people prefer? I've been sort of using ADAR

[open hedge]

I use the sks it’s fun and not too bad

For early game

[woeful spruce]

as soon as you reach level 2 ragman run mmac or 6b3tm, before that dont stress it

[open hedge]

I’ll ping you both

And anyone else who want to join
