adart

[woeful spruce]

i like the vepr 136 from skier 1 it as well as the sks uses the best lvl 1 bullet, 7,62x39 ps

[tacit ferry]

adar

is really good

[deft dew]

for solo play the VPO (the one that uses PS ammo) is nice because it has better stats than the SKS and better modability, plus you can easily slap a suppressor on it, I also like the UMP a lot, slap a sight on it and you're good even with the basic ammo you buy from Peacekeeper

[prime veldt]

@tacit ferry @woeful spruce thx guys, ill go try and get some tasks done and not get too frustrated about the compass one

[tacit ferry]

ofc gl

[prime veldt]

hmm I dont see myself getting a UMP soon but ill see what I can do with the recommendations

[open hedge]

Ump can be bought with scav knifes

Black ones

[tacit ferry]

7 black handled ones

i thought it was black

[open hedge]

Oh

[pure marsh]

*black

[open hedge]

It might be

Yeah I got I mixed

[pure marsh]

Brown is mp5

[pure marsh]

Yeye

[open hedge]

My bad

[tacit ferry]

cms

[open hedge]

Cms is very useful

[deft dew]

UMP is a nice beginner-friendly gun, controllable, doesn't need anything to work, decent ammo from the get-go, only downside is it only has 25-round mags

[river crown]

25 with its fire rate is pretty good tho

[open hedge]

Irl it has 30rd extensions but we don’t have those

[deft dew]

yeah, if you don't manage to kill your target in one UMP mag you're probably dead anyway

[open hedge]

I’m most cases

[unique steeple]

idk about u but i need the 10rd mags

[open hedge]

Things happen sometimes

Same

Tbh

Sniping with 45 acp

I need one of those 22 longrifle bolt action snipers

[deft dew]

surely there's a way to put a 1-6x scope on a UMP

at least

[open hedge]

There is

I think

[deft dew]

SBIH done only with 45 acp youtube compilation let's gooooooo

[tacit ferry]

perfect

l9ol

[open hedge]

Shooter born in heaven with a 500 magnum

[tacit ferry]

should i just sell

to mech

[open hedge]

Nah use it

[deft dew]

or with an MP7 FLIR

[open hedge]

Those are good

That gun is built super well

[tacit ferry]

its really clean looking

[open hedge]

Put a light on it and you will be gaming

Also if you can buy the thermal camera

[tacit ferry]

certain good one

[tacit ferry]

whats it called

[coarse raptor]

ultima, freaking super fun mp155

[open hedge]

Klech is the brightest

[open hedge]

Literally called the mp155 thermal camera (linked search the stock/pistol grip)

[tacit ferry]

ight i got it

ill go in an online match

[open hedge]

If you hit alt+right click you will look down into the thermal instead of the holo

[tacit ferry]

is irt on

[open hedge]

If it’s attached yes it should be

[tacit ferry]

oh

[open hedge]

When someone goes in front they will light up

[tacit ferry]

thats really good

[open hedge]

And that’s one of the bad thermals

🗿

The reap-ir is the chad

[woeful spruce]

nothing compares to the poopiness of the colimator thermal

[glossy gale]

whats wrong with this for gunsmith p4?

[open hedge]

True

[open hedge]

Uh that’s not even close

You need to follow the wiki

[tacit ferry]

4

[glossy gale]

Do i have to? i believe i have all of the requirements

[open hedge]

It needs to be precise

[woeful spruce]

it needs a silencer for starters, stated in the quest description

[glossy gale]

I have over 800 range, less than 3.8, 60 round, above 47 ergo, less than 300 sum recoil. Thats all the requirements. Just silencer then?

[open hedge]

[woeful spruce]

the silencer will fuck up the weight and ergo you'll need to change a lot in that build after adding it

[tacit ferry]

this shotgun is really good

who sells flechette

[inland totem]

I have a ton of different items filling my stash that I need but cant even run a scav due to lack of space. what should I be doing here? selling guns, clips and ammo? or heals? Most traders dont buy the items I am looking to get rid of either.

[deft dew]

Use the gear with your PMC, sell barter items you won't need for hideout/quests

What are you trying to sell that almost nobody would buy? Very few such items in the game

[clear tiger]

Doesn't fence buy everything?

[coarse raptor]

for flechette - Level 3 Jaeger, Flea market otherwise

[deft dew]

he does, but rips you off by quite a lot

[coarse raptor]

Do people generally like "power level" these skills such as endurance etc before they start "playing" so to speak?

[exotic jungle]

no

[clear tiger]

Yeah, pretty sure the lowest price sells are for Prapor and Fence

[glossy gale]

alr ty guys, i finished it

took a lot of money wasted though since i didnt follow wiki first time. ill make sure to follow it next time

[sinful valve]

Pretty good day for loot guys

[upbeat elk]

There are people that power level but rarely and not before you start playing. Its mostly when you're already max traders.
Power leveling is very boring and depressing tho.

[sinful valve]

2 opthalmoscopes and a defib

[brittle needle]

Any idea why a FiR weapon with full durability be greyed out from the AH. Its a Vector

[sinful valve]

AH?

[brittle needle]

Flea****

[exotic jungle]

the only guys you'll really see power level those skills are people who ended the game or close to ending (for instance, who else would go through all the trouble of buying a new pouch container, and then run around mindlessly with a battery in its pouch?)

[sinful valve]

It could be the ammo

Or the mags

Some things are banned on the flea so you have to remove the bullet in the chamber and ammo in the mag

[coarse raptor]

Well thats good to know, not something i need to really focus on much then and just let it level naturally

[brittle needle]

It was the ammo, but it was 9x19 PST?

[clear tiger]

first time doing "Checking". wish me luck fellas

[glossy gale]

Sell bitcoin to therapist right?

[coarse raptor]

or keep for barter

[clear tiger]

the rapist.

[open hedge]

Yea interesting kit

Good armor bad helmet ok gun

Strange

At least put an optic on it

[upbeat elk]

enough ammo?

[coarse raptor]

ps is cheap, take a stack at least

[mint sleet]

@clear tiger yes about 280,000 rub rn

fro selling

[sinful valve]

Not pbp or ap 6.3?

[brittle needle]

Nope! Odd

[sinful valve]

Very

[rose trellis]

i killed sniper scav on woods, and he had a mosin which is nice
BUT when i ADS with it its crooked?? like at a 15 degree angle??

i cannot use this as it would be way too distracting

[mint sleet]

theres a way to zero weapon sights in raid i dont remember the key bind though

[rose trellis]

not upwards, sideways

[deft dew]

take a look at that helmet's stats, the ergo penalty is brutal, better use the Ratnik helmet instead

[coarse raptor]

somebody is hungry!

[tacit ferry]

just a snack

[open hedge]

Eat it all

[tacit ferry]

nah bro im poor

[coarse raptor]

is that from like interchange

[tacit ferry]

yes

[open hedge]

Well I made a new discord that I put in my bio that any poor soul can join

[mint sleet]

@rose trellis thats something new to me unless you slow leaned and your still there im not sure what the reason for that is

[rose trellis]

i wasnt leaned, my other guns were fine

i just sold it

[clear tiger]

Yeah. i usually use the ratnik, ill switch

[mint sleet]

dang, yeah good call lol

[edgy panther]

P GOOD SCAV RUN

[deft dew]

trooper's awesome though, one of the best lvl 4 armors despite protecting only the thorax

[tacit ferry]

twitch rivals paca?

[edgy panther]

yeup

[tacit ferry]

how

[edgy panther]

rare drop ig

[open hedge]

Where the hell did you get the purple Paca

[edgy panther]

interchange weapon box

[open hedge]

Bruh

[edgy panther]

y

[open hedge]

I always wanted one fir for funny value

[edgy panther]

ill take a trade for it;)

[mint sleet]

never seen that before, can get a nice dollar out of it on the flea too

[open hedge]

I can just buy it off flea

[edgy panther]

o yeah true

[open hedge]

40k

[edgy panther]

bro what the fuck

this scav run just made me a shit ton of money

[open hedge]

What map

[blazing brook]

idk why i thought it wld go well but i invited someone who was looking for group..... my run time was 3 seconds

[edgy panther]

interchange

i did my routine

[open hedge]

Typical

[edgy panther]

and ez

[clear tiger]

Might use the ADAR instead of the sks, dunno how well the ADAR works though

[open hedge]

Interchange is underrated

[glossy gale]

adar is nice if you mod it some

[edgy panther]

love my scav runs

they either go bad and i die off rip

or W

[open hedge]

Worst Adar ammo is way worse than worst sks ammo

[glossy gale]

that too tho ^

[edgy panther]

i have 2 gpus now

W

[valid hatch]

why cant i build s case

[open hedge]

S case?

[valid hatch]

scav case

[open hedge]

It’s all sort of problematic

To make things easier try taking all your items out of all your cases

[valid hatch]

nah bro i built then it bugged out

how do i fix this

[open hedge]

Uh

#community-support

[upbeat elk]

Restart game

[glad pebble]

is it possible to spawn as scav in the same game where you died as pmc if you queue straight after or should you wait depending on how much time was left in the raid?

[open hedge]

Yes

I’ve done it on accident

Got my own dog tags

Felt like god

[glad pebble]

gonna give it a go , died to some hacker but i had giga loot lol gonna try get it back

[open hedge]

Your chances are stupiendously low

[carmine shore]

i just looted an airdrop on scav but on my way to exfil got fucked by a 4 man

[celest dove]

quick question, can I use the UB variant of the AKS-74U when doing punisher part 3?

[open hedge]

How dare you hate interchange azuko

Interchange is great

[open hedge]

Don’t think so

[clear tiger]

just added a ratnik helmet. dunno if im ready for it yet

[blazing brook]

i just spawned with a tetriz as a scav

what

[bold kernel]

unfortunately you will end up getting shot by fellow scavs if they saw you looting it, or you have like a pilgrim or something

[carmine shore]

i fucking despise interchange because if killa and chads

[open hedge]

Change to a op sks and use a optic

[celest dove]

it'd be good if they'd fix the damn lighting

[open hedge]

The chads are the best part it’s easy loot

[clear tiger]

hunting sks?

[open hedge]

Just use an optic man trust me

[bold kernel]

what is happening here?

[open hedge]

Alt f4

The only way

[carmine shore]

sorry let me change my nickname so you can see my problem

[bold kernel]

will i lose my op?

[open hedge]

No

[carmine shore]

understand now??

[bold kernel]

ok

[open hedge]

As long as you were not in the game yet you should be fine

[open hedge]

Newbies can be good at the game if they try hard enough

[bold kernel]

What map do you guys normally run for money

[open hedge]

I don’t kill with loot I kill with skill

[open hedge]

Interchange

But you shouldn’t

[edgy panther]

W

[celest dove]

I can stand chads but it's the people crouching in one of the million dark corners for 25 minutes that ruin the map for me

[hazy veldt]

yes

[celest dove]

pog

[scarlet jetty]

Interchange is insanely cringe

[edgy panther]

why not

[celest dove]

[edgy panther]

it was my first map

[open hedge]

That does suck but it’s not hard to avoid if you learn the common spots

[bold kernel]

I normally do shoreline just because I know most of the hidden stash locations

[carmine shore]

interchange is filled with chads and 5 stacks camping exfil

[open hedge]

Interchange no longer stands against newer maps

[edgy panther]

i mean i guess

[open hedge]

But to me I still like it

[edgy panther]

i use it as my scav map either way

[edgy panther]

same

[open hedge]

Never seen an exfil camper on interchange in 2 wipes

[edgy panther]

tbh

[open hedge]

3 wipes ago they were common

Not now

[carmine shore]

in my attempt to get over gear fear i lost 500k in 2 runs, am i over gear fear? nahhh

[open hedge]

Never said it was magic

[celest dove]

you're gonna lose more if you don't get over it

[clear tiger]

im gonna get jaeger unlocked first so i can get a hunting sks. you cant mod the basic one without a dovetail mount im pretty sure

[carmine shore]

who needs gear when you have mosin

[open hedge]

The basic one cannot use a dovetail

[carmine shore]

1 sec lemme change my name

[bold kernel]

scavs have a chance to spawn with any item in the game practically

[carmine shore]

there we go

[sonic lichen]

yo can anyone help me with tasks?

[edgy panther]

o/p on this m4?

[open hedge]

I can bring you a gun into a raid just wait for me before you use that trooper

[blazing brook]

ye ik but thats still pretty good, gonna try extract fast lol

[hazy veldt]

Just use a vepr-km?

[celest dove]

only mosin runners I respect are the ones with an obrez

and a vudu on it

[open hedge]

I just use mosin sniper with a 1-6

[carmine shore]

arent m4s bad this wipe?

[open hedge]

Valday

[open hedge]

Yes

[edgy panther]

yeah

but i like this one

[open hedge]

Use it if you like

[edgy panther]

i tap w it and burst

[carmine shore]

i use iron sight mosin with sawed off

[open hedge]

Camera recoil will not be friendly

[hazy veldt]

A bit rough recoil, no?

[carmine shore]

i run ump

[edgy panther]

i burst w it so eh

[open hedge]

My budget gun is the rfb or mosin (saiga 12 build only costs like 100k if you count that as budget)

[edgy panther]

most def not budget

i use a double barell sometimes and go into factory

and pray for luck

[carmine shore]

i got this here p90, only problem is i havent unlocked p90 mags yet 😳

[open hedge]

Well the mosin and rfb both go to 100k if you put a scope on them

So

[carmine shore]

i have never done factory yet

[open hedge]

I guess I never budget

[edgy panther]

decent map

lots of fun

[hazy veldt]

Just pay 20k on flea for them

[open hedge]

He’s level 4

[clear tiger]

factory. some spawns you get killed within seconds, other ones allow you to kill others within seconds

[open hedge]

🗿

[edgy panther]

💀

[carmine shore]

ive done 2 interchange runs and both times i immediately ran into killa, therefore im not gonna queue interchange till i can afford gear

[open hedge]

Killa is fake you’re lying

[carmine shore]

also interchange crong

[bold kernel]

what is the best location to find screws and bolts, what i need to make the workbench

[open hedge]

Interchange

Back garages

And oli

[celest dove]

killa violated me behind an oli dumpster

i have the footage

[clear tiger]

lots of toolboxes on interchange

[stable estuary]

This game makes me feel like a really bad gamerrrrr

[open hedge]

Yes

We are all bad in this is chat

(Except me)

Jk

[carmine shore]

this game is honestly brutal if you're a new player solo

[open hedge]

I started as a mostly solo

[stable estuary]

I’ve gathered that 🤣

[clear tiger]

hey, thats me!

[carmine shore]

and me

[prime veldt]

I have a group but I end up doing all my tasks alone

so 80% of my playtime solo

[bold kernel]

is it hard to play on interchange?

[carmine shore]

depends

[clear tiger]

depends on the players you get

[open hedge]

Can you kill people in class 4+ armor?

[bold kernel]

shit

[carmine shore]

no!!!!

[bold kernel]

what's that?

[open hedge]

You either get rats

Or mega chads

No In between

[carmine shore]

ok prolly not the best to queue inter

[clear tiger]

exit campers galore

[open hedge]

Not true

[clear tiger]

at least for all the times ive queued up interchange it has been true

[open hedge]

I’ve been playing interchange for quite some time and I see them once every few months at best

[glossy gale]

what boss spawns at shoreline? and should I be worried if im just trying to loot resort? lmao

[open hedge]

Sanitar

He’s scary

[glossy gale]

oh shit

[open hedge]

Even for me

[carmine shore]

do you just main interchange?

[open hedge]

Not really

I play woods shoreline and interchange

[glossy gale]

lets just hope he didnt spawn or spawned at one of the other spots

[bold kernel]

will i get things if i play in offline mode?

[prime veldt]

aii time to go clap some tasks and die lets goo

[bold kernel]

can i get screws and bolts from it?

[open hedge]

No

[bold kernel]

what can i get from offline mode?

[open hedge]

I’ll be home within 40 minutes

[bold kernel]

will i lose my bullets if i shoot?

[teal patrol]

can u read?

[open hedge]

Nothing

[bold kernel]

k

[prime veldt]

bro im so bad thats a deathwish

ive probably killed 5 players in 50 raids

[stable estuary]

Got my first kill this eve

[prime veldt]

bro when I look at someone I cant even tell if its PMC or scav other than equipped weapon and voicelines

[glossy gale]

going out with an mcx. no idea why, spent a lot of the gun but the ammo is kinda ass and the recoil is pretty bad

but im down to 10k so lets hope this shoreline run goes well lmfao

[stable estuary]

Bet the guy was infuriated dying to a lvl 2

[prime veldt]

WYM down to 10k

sheesh

[glossy gale]

Grinding money is too much work

I just go down to 0 then do a scav run and get back up

Trying to learn shoreline loot runs

Since I got keys

[carmine shore]

worth keeping or just sell?

[glossy gale]

I think it’s like 60k on flea if I’m not mistaken

[carmine shore]

aight imma just sell

[sonic lichen]

bro

i hate this game so much

[carmine shore]

im not an interchange chad and wont be for a long time

[clear tiger]

Scared the shit out of some guy in dorms and he blasted me with a double barrel, luckily my armored rig ate it. Scav fun

[lyric tundra]

anyone wanna run some scav raids together?

[sonic lichen]

server booted me and then let me back in to have a scav a foot away from my face

[coarse raptor]

yeah I think I might sell my interchange keys, I got a kiba one I've been holding onto but no point if I don't have the skill yet to reliably kill

[strong pewter]

as a beginner i would like to proudly announce my first fir gpu found literally in a duffle bag in customs

no need to go to risky maps

just duffle bags

[prime veldt]

sometimes i be finding random shit selling for 30-60k

and im lvl 8 like wow what a time to be alive

[coarse raptor]

3 gpu nice

[strong pewter]

only 1 fir guess amma use all of them for mining

[carmine shore]

imagine getting kills lmao

[strong pewter]

thats from the start of the wipe tho lol

you die 200 times to get 10 kills

[vapid flume]

I cant get any kills other than when I use a db with flechette

[strong pewter]

most of these kills are from factory killing hatchet runners

[carmine shore]

brehhhh

[vapid flume]

what rat

sold that

[coarse raptor]

I think a vast majority of my kills are getting lucky shots with shotgun, it wasn't until I started using shotguns with flech that I got kills

[carmine shore]

i shit myself and didnt buy it in time smh

some crazy shit pops up on fence sometimes

also ignore the rep i thought i was killing a hostile scav but turns out he shot a pmc

[cedar vault]

im at -1.6 so dont worry

[carmine shore]

menace to society

[mellow matrix]

i was at -4 :)

[cedar vault]

when i first started playin all i did was scav, but never knew you werent suppose to shoot them

[mellow matrix]

and i never killed a scav

on purpose

[cedar vault]

lettin you kno tho they did get shit on

[mellow matrix]

just that fuck dressed in red with his stupid hat and bag on night raids spooked me too much

dudes in the bushes aiming at me

how would i not shoot

[vast wedge]

sb193 or sb190?

[coarse raptor]

190

[carmine shore]

dont queue night raids

night raid scary

[coarse raptor]

best way to get some of the tasks done sometimes is night raids

[nimble raven]

Anyone wanna run the lighthouse quests? I've played through many wipes but haven't gotten to them. I have no idea how to manipulate the map.

(I'm level 26 this wipe)

[modest zenith]

just downloaded the game whats the best way to learn the game - play as a scav 1st or straight in

[clear tiger]

im gonna say probably scav first to learn the controls and learn a map a little bit, then go in with some low tier gear on your PMC.

you can also do

Offline raids, just select a map, then hit "Next" while playing as your PMC

just check the box that says offline mode, and from there you can also add scavs to the raid to practice and some more stuff

[stable estuary]

I do a lot of offline to learn a map otherwise I’m wandering around lost…

[clear tiger]

same, i had to spend hours in offline raids to learn customs and interchange

[modest zenith]

so i take it ofline u dont loose your gear is that the same as ofline raids

[stable estuary]

I still wander around lost

[clear tiger]

offline you dont lose your gear

online you do

[humble island]

can anyone help me with corporate secrets task on lighthouse

[glad pebble]

decent run while doing golden zibbo quest 😄

[stable estuary]

Any tips for how to not run into trouble ? Constantly running into players head on

[glad pebble]

be more silent , don't sprint unless you have to

ppl can hear you stomp from miles away with headsets

[clear tiger]

Best bet is to probably keep running across open areas, and make sure to keep note of combat hotspots

Like new gas or dorms

[strong pewter]

what lvl r u

[glad pebble]

15 , its my first wipe 🙂

[clear tiger]

And make sure to use the walking speed mechanic when in buildings that are frequented

[strong pewter]

nice 15 and already on zibbo im 23 and i did zibbo yesterday after dying like 4 times

[strong pewter]

the loot is good too

[clear tiger]

I just finished the regular zibbo quest 😎 😎

[glad pebble]

yeah that lvl 41 guy i killed in dorms was stacked, pretty much everything came from him

[strong pewter]

_

[strong pewter]

sheeshhh

[strong pewter]

SHEEESHHH

[glad pebble]

but i know the pain of dying often lol

[strong pewter]

i feel bad everytime i pickup the dogtag and see someone below level 20

[glad pebble]

i have "only" 26% SR and 1.9 kd

still have a lot to learn

[strong pewter]

not too bad considering its your first wipe

[clear tiger]

I have 1.3 kd and 7% SR, not to flex or anything

[glad pebble]

[strong pewter]

you must be a hacker

[clear tiger]

no. I'm a bad player 😎 😎 😎

[glad pebble]

my stats were real bad at first cuz i tried out all maps and kept dying, now i only do customs on pmc and others on scav to learn

[strong pewter]

"bad" is above average in tarkov

[strong pewter]

i played for 2 wipes, and for the whole 2 wipes i only went to customs and factory

only recently i started to go to shoreline

map knowledge is key

[clear tiger]

Yeah, I've only really played customs and factory. I actually do want to learn shoreline and woods

[glad pebble]

shoreline scares me... i have the signal part 1 quest done after 10 deaths

[clear tiger]

But I'm not.. good. And everytime I enter a raid I sign my own death warrant

[glad pebble]

played like a rat and camped for like 30 minutes before moving to the objective

its the only way i get any quests done lmao

[stable estuary]

I do most my runs on shoreline maybe that’s why I’m getting slapped

[clear tiger]

The only raid I have survived this wipe is on factory. I killed two people, one of them had a vector and the other had a ump

Then I extracted immediately

[strong pewter]

i navigated myself around all the popular places with a ak and a long ranged scope, used hip fire for scavs

[glad pebble]

yea i use that map too on 2nd monitor but i still get lost sometimes

[clear tiger]

All I can do is compare myself to other players and be sad

[strong pewter]

also experience is what will increase your survival rate, you'll know where players usually are at what time of the raid

and please please make use of looking around with your head constantly when crossing open areas

you'll manage to spot players more often

[stable estuary]

Majority of the time I see nothing and get shot

[inland totem]

hey. i got screenshots of my inv. i have no idea what i should be doing with any of this. they wont buy bags and things like that. Unless its because they have something in them? who knows. im lost here. and so is my $45. lol

[clear tiger]

I've been on an 11 raid losing streak ever since I extracted that one time on factory

[clear tiger]

Traders won't buy bags with things in them

[strong pewter]

definitely do scav runs on maps you scared to go first time with pmc

[clear tiger]

Same goes for rigs

[inland totem]

i have no space to take anything out? lol

[strong pewter]

that pgw costs quite a bit

[sinful valve]

Opinions on tc-800 with face shield? I just beat these guys in a 2v1 and one dropped this

[teal patrol]

good

[sinful valve]

Alright

Maybe I’ll hold on to it

[inland totem]

not sure what that is. who will buy it? im lost here.

[strong pewter]

major bag alert, major baaagg alert

[strong pewter]

therapist

[glad pebble]

put bag in bag to save space

[strong pewter]

unless you're level 15 and have flee

[strong pewter]

very good website

[inland totem]

sweet. what is a PGW lol

[strong pewter]

or otherwise you could type it in the website ive sent you

it will show all prices and who you can sell to

[inland totem]

perfect. thanks man

[strong pewter]

no problem

are you okay with map knowledge @inland totem

[carmine shore]

trooper armour is pretty good right?

[inland totem]

i just use those filtered tarkov maps that come up on google. just trying to see someone before i die randomly

[short elk]

Probably the best lvl 4 armor there is

[cobalt trail]

As a scav, how to I use a call out? I recently ran into a player scav who said one of the scav lines. How dp I do rhat?

[coarse raptor]

F1

[bold kernel]

I think its f1

[cobalt trail]

Ok, ty. I'll try it next scav run

[vagrant lynx]

is there anyway to get my armor below 50 durability for the ragman quest ?

[glad pebble]

any tips on how to get peacekeeper lvl 2 easily? i've been selling some stuff to him but i still need another 8k dollars and i dont have enough roubles to trade for dollars

[cobalt trail]

@glad pebble buy stuff from him and sell it back, when you sell to him it also counts

[clear tiger]

you can also double tap y to open the emote menu. works with both pmc and scav

[glad pebble]

hmm could do, do you have any idea which item i could buy from him and sell back without losing too much money?

[cobalt trail]

@clear tiger much obliged

[clear tiger]

its pretty good!

[magic timber]

Anyone here do Gunsmith part 9? with the AK Zenit parts?

[cobalt trail]

@glad pebble not sure, do a scav run or two to make a Lil money to do it

[clear tiger]

Does this loadout look good to do "Checking"?

whoops

forgot to take the ammo out of my pocket

pretend it isnt there

[spark plover]

Got nothing to deal with light bleeds or fractures. PS is cheap so I'd bring an extra stack just so you can top up your mags.

Those Dundukk's also have the texture problem where they can "glow" at range.

[clear tiger]

well, thanks! ill make sure to take those funny glasses off. ill probably swap the cheese kit and the machinery key for the CAR

[spark plover]

Esmarch is also cheap, you need the machinery key for the quest. Perhaps esmarch in the pocket on a keybind with a car kit in the alpha?

[clear tiger]

that might be good.

[spark plover]

Looks good. If you don't want to take a splint and you get a fracture, you can just painkill and try and get out of there.

[clear tiger]

Thanks man!

[spark plover]

No probs, good luck getting the quest done!~

[glad pebble]

be careful cuz there's usually some scavs around that place

you can always wait for other pmc's to kill them if you're not confident

[clear tiger]

[south canopy]

i bought the standard edition on the 6th of feb and payments been processed but everywhere including profile and the laucher i downloaded says i need to pre order like it did before i bought it. I used 2 days worth of tickets to find support but they take forever. im also pre broke so i cant afford it again

[river rampart]

Did you contact xsolla?

[clear tiger]

just gonna head there on a scav run to scope out the area

[river rampart]

@pure talon no giveaways

[pure talon]

since when?

[south canopy]

yusss, waiting for them to do nothing like usual

[short elk]

Might wanna save the trooper lol

[clear tiger]

what's a good replacement for it? PACA is pretty weak against any type of player, any other body armor/armored rig?

[coarse raptor]

Press armor?

[clear tiger]

Aren't those barters for Ragman?

[untold girder]

No

[modest zenith]

HOW DO I DO OFLINE RAid

ssoz 4 caps

[winter shoal]

Queue as a PMC for any map and the next screen will show you the ability to enable offline mode

[short elk]

Honestly if you meet a player you're probably gonna get clapped regardless of the trooper, customs is getting brutal. A paca will stop a scav from one tapping you with buckshot however

For quests it's best to get in and out doing your best to avoid any pvp

[winter shoal]

My quest loadout is shattered mask and a zhuk-3

about 40k for both and its level 3 armour and a buckshot repellent

[urban spire]

can you do tasks under level 10 or no

[winter shoal]

you can do tasks from level 1

I'm doing Farming 4, does anyone know what map has the most GPU spawns?

tarkov will wipe by the time I find 2 more gpus for this smug porkchop

[short elk]

Interchange has the most computers to search and a few loose spawns. Labs would be the absolute best but then ya gotta go to labs lmao

[winter shoal]

one does not simply GO to labs

alright good info though, think the chances of me finding a gpu as a scav on interchange are decent?

[short elk]

Not really, the offices with computers and techlight are the first things picked over. Best to go as PMC

[clear tiger]

Where do people camp the RUAF roadblock from? I can't figure out where I'm getting shot from there

[winter shoal]

sec let me get a good picture and ill show ya

[short elk]

Could also very slowly get them on the 7 or so computers on customs, that's where I got all mine lol

[coarse raptor]

sniper roadblock/across the river has a clear view of ruaf also

[short elk]

Probably across the water or North up the road

[winter shoal]

basically any of these

under any of these carriges

in the trees

[clear tiger]

Also do the extracts with the ??? have like a 50 percent chance or so?

[winter shoal]

or inside of the big red directors office if they're real aholes

[winter shoal]

i dont know what the percentages are but it is a 'chance'

[clear tiger]

because I'm hoping for smugglers boat or old gas. RUAF is always a gamble for me

[coarse raptor]

Ones like ZB-1012 and the Smuggler Boat are chance, and then like the Vehicle Extract is ??? but its basically once a PMC starts its, you got 1 min.

Old Gas is a toss up as well, you gotta look for the green smoke flare

[clear tiger]

I guess I could also do pistol runs or something like that so I don't lose that much if I get exit camped or something of the like

At least the pocket watch isn't a hot zone like it is early wipe

[open apex]

what nightvision goggles can i put ont his

[teal patrol]

linked search it

?

[open apex]

just gives me mounts but thanks for your input

linked search the mounts and it gives me helmets

[bold kernel]

hope

disappointment

[short elk]

Link searching the mounts will also give you compatible nvgs. Regardless, the only ones you can use are the spider eyes and the shitty monocular one

[clear tiger]

If I'm doing a nighttime raid, should I bother bringing a flashlight? Seems like it would light you up like a spotlight

[short elk]

The white phosphorous nvgs can only be used with the headstrap, and there's one other set which is garbage and I don't know why someone would use

[short elk]

Absolutely bring a flashlight to use indoors.

[clear tiger]

Is it easy to navigate outside at night?

[inland totem]

finally came up on a PMC's ass......ripped atleast 15 shots into him and he turns around and headshots....nice.

[short elk]

Depends on your postfx settings. Some people also powergame with their gamma. If it's a map you already know then it should be easy to navigate when making use of your compass

[carmine shore]

tarkov'd

[inland totem]

didnt work.

[nocturne junco]

finally level 15 holy shit

[unique plover]

Since RUAF is always open now, its just a hop skip and a jump to RUAF from pocketwatch

[nocturne junco]

whats the smartest way to get my peacekeeper spending to 11k with flea? diaries?

[mystic oar]

i just logged in this wipe and idk if i should choose bear or usec anyone have any ideas?

[unique plover]

Buy dollars, guns, bullets, mags

You’re definitely going to use dollars. You need $8k to spend for friend from the west 2

[carmine shore]

bear cus its impossible to find bear dogtags

[winter shoal]

SSD's

as long as you buy ssds below 49K

you make a profit (in dollars)

woops wrong response

[winter shoal]

replying to this!!

[fierce sedge]

My exit location task isnt being completed from therapist even thou i extracted...

[nocturne junco]

doing guns and mags and reselling loses me money though right? wouldn't it be better to buy diaries for 30k rubels off flea and selling them to him for $226 which is about 28k too

[winter shoal]

what was it

[nocturne junco]

ahh cool

[fierce sedge]

It was factory

ill dm you img

[bold kernel]

did you get a run through

[unique plover]

Buying and sell both increase your spend limit for any trader.

[bold kernel]

i think RTs don't count for this

[waxen wedge]

me beinmg a rat xDD

[unique plover]

So you may lose money but you are making progress towards that $11k each purchase and sell

[bold kernel]

bruh...

i did not expect the d&b

[frigid sinew]

i had a job circumsizing elephants, pay wasnt great but tips were HUGE

[bold kernel]

he ate the foreskin

[waxen wedge]

me after playing a 30 minute raid

[bold kernel]

squid game

[hazy veldt]

not only diaries, but all intel stuff.

magnetic drives, etc.

[unique plover]

But again, if you’re trying to level just buy stuff from him and sell it back to him. I think you’ll make more progress doing that than just buying things off flea and selling it to him

If your goal is to level him as quick as you can.

[winter shoal]

i dont know as long as you calculate it right you can make a profit doing it

i got him to ll3 in about a couple of hours

excluding quests

just spamming all ssds below 49k

[unique plover]

I mean if you have funds to spare, you can buy an m4 for (idk the actual price) $400, and sell it back for $150, that’s $550 towards the goal, vs just buying something off the flea and selling it to him for $150.

[hazy veldt]

But you're not loosing money if you buy intel items from flea and sell to him?

[unique plover]

I’m terrible with my money

But at least my traders are leveled lol

You can make back whatever you lose in a few scav runs

[sinful valve]

It’d be cool if they added cultists to lighthouse and a boss at chalet

[winter shoal]

no

as i said if you buy ssds below 49K you make a profit in dollars

its true for the other items depending on the price

[sinful valve]

Mid tier boss loot though, just something to keep players on their toes

[winter shoal]

just calculate what 1 rub to dollar is

and then see how much he takes it for and do the maff

[short elk]

In the future there will be multiple bosses on every map

[unique plover]

I think the horde of player scavs keeps players on their toes enough lol

[winter shoal]

very true for lighthouse

[sinful valve]

Yeah, but that’s broken

[winter shoal]

lighthouse is like horde mode

[sinful valve]

Pscavs should not be able to spawn like that

[winter shoal]

i like it

personally

[sinful valve]

I routinely get in at 36 minutes and it just seems like a bit much

[unique plover]

Yeah i love scaving in @ 38 minutes, at chalet before anyone has had a chance to get there lol

You can loot it and leave by the time a PMC makes it to you

[winter shoal]

its the most fun ive had as a scav tbh

[sinful valve]

I spawned with a gornostay and cleared out warehouse 1 and the main road rogues

[teal patrol]

because its the most op its been

[winter shoal]

killing a geared player with a busted vpo and knowing he just lost all his loot makes me feel some kinda way

[sinful valve]

Lmao I actually robbed a player the other day

He left gear in the bushes to fight

I took it and ran to extract 💀

[winter shoal]

that is sad

but also hilarious

(depending on if it happened to me or not)

but yeah spawning in and walking out with AESA's, bitcoins and pfilters is welcome

[inland totem]

do 5 scavs have to be killed in the same raid for the first task on customs?

[unique plover]

No

[winter shoal]

no

[inland totem]

cool

[winter shoal]

but you have to do it as a pmc

dont do what i did my first wipe

[clear tiger]

uhhhhgg

[coarse raptor]

Man I wasted so much money on ammo boxes and junk loot box, did not need to spend at all and could have gone towards getting gear and more practice shooting. next wipe def not doing that again

[clear tiger]

i got the pocket watch and everything was fine until i noticed that i didnt have RUAF, and i got killed omw to ZB-1012

i got the pocket watch and everything was fine until i noticed that i didnt have RUAF, and i got killed omw to ZB-1012

[sinful valve]

This was the take

[unique plover]

Dang you really went into a raid with that armor and helmet with a sniper?

That’s ballsy

[sinful valve]

No that was the pmc I robbed

I was scav

The t-5000 was from another pmc

[unique plover]

Oh lol i got you

[sinful valve]

Can’t wait to try the t-5000 tho

I have 2 of them now

[clear tiger]

hopefully i actually get RUAF instead of the game fucking me over

[unique plover]

T-5000 absolutely SLAPS

[pure marsh]

It's smooth as butter

[unique plover]

Fuck a silencer, run it loud and proud

[clear tiger]

i had the furthest extracts from pocket watch as possible

[winter shoal]

what the hel

[winter shoal]

thats the best outcome imo

because you get the pocket watch and you get to extract at ruaf

[sinful valve]

Didn’t even have to fight him 💀

[winter shoal]

as opposed to taking the pocket watch and having to carry it across the map

[modest zenith]

so how do you know where ui have to extract

[winter shoal]

double tap o

[clear tiger]

double tap o

look at a map on another monitor or on your phone

[unique plover]

Press O once, then once more immediately after

[winter shoal]

press o once, then headbutt your keyboard

[unique plover]

That will work too but be careful

[hazy veldt]

Rebind O to single tap for both time and exits:

[unique plover]

Nah dont listen to him

[winter shoal]

idk sometimes i just want to look at the time

[unique plover]

Rebind LMB to check time and rebind O to fire. Thats the real meta

[stable island]

money is easy once you get loot runs down currently have 4 scav junkboxes lol

[clear tiger]

rebind ads to LMB and shoot to RMB

[winter shoal]

lighthouse scav runs for me

my best lighthouse run as a scav profited me 2.5M

[stable island]

lighthouse pmc with really any kit is money

[coarse raptor]

its not about loot runs, its the fact that my skill is just extremely bad atm so it was a tremendous waste considering how often I actually get kills/extract etc lol

[winter shoal]

if you're good enough to lighthouse pmc

but also scavs spawn about 3-4 minutes after pmcs

so you can beat the pmcs to some of the loot spawns

[stable island]

you can build 5 kits to run pretty dang cheap

[winter shoal]

scav lighthouse

[stable island]

yeah i really only pmc now

[winter shoal]

i do scavs when im watching youtube or at my lunch break

means i dont have to really pay attention and walk out with megazord loot anyway

[stable island]

thats when i do shotgun pmc runs lol

[winter shoal]

i get gear fear even if im wearing a m1911

idk what it is

[stable island]

ah yeah i completely broke free of that this wipe

[winter shoal]

but as a pmc im literally razor focused on every bit

[unique plover]

I lost a full meta AKM with level 5 gear before firing a single shot a few raids ago

[stable island]

been lvl 5 armor or higher since level 30 im at 45

[winter shoal]

but as a scav i just run around like a moron

[stable island]

thats happened to me 20+ times lol

[winter shoal]

i havent used a single meta gun yet

[stable island]

slick ayltn reserve get head tapped 2 minutes in

[winter shoal]

vpo sleeper setup has destroyed altyns

[unique plover]

To be fair the gun didn’t cost me anything, because i shot some guy before he fired a single shot

So tarkov giveth and tarkov taketh away

[stable island]

yeah most of my guns are player donated 😄

[unique plover]

Like who tf has money to build a 300k gun

[winter shoal]

either someone who thinks it will offset skill

[stable island]

anyone whos comfy running lighthouse/reserve or even customs loot runs

once you shed gearfear money pours in and out

[unique plover]

Fuk that if I’m going to lighthouse I’m bringing a shotty with ap20

[sinful valve]

Shoreline resort too

[stable island]

lighthouse sr-25 is my go to

[unique plover]

Put a compact on top and you’re good to go

[sinful valve]

Fuck the rest of the map

[stable island]

tru

[winter shoal]

you lot are boujie

[unique plover]

Hot take

Shoreline safe runs are easy and so safe

[winter shoal]

the most expensive thing I bought to lighthouse was an MDR

[winter shoal]

very hot and possibly wrong take

[stable island]

haha see im at about 32mil mad like 5 yesterday

[unique plover]

If you spawn on the tunnel side of the map

[winter shoal]

shoreline cash runs

[winter shoal]

im at 4 mill so

[sinful valve]

Nah I’ve seen the runs

I just don’t like the way it feels to navigate

[winter shoal]

average kit

[stable island]

thats why i just run whatever nbot to worried about running out

[sinful valve]

And I’m a woods enjoyer

[unique plover]

Woods is the best honestly

[sinful valve]

Yessss

One of my people

[winter shoal]

despise woods but the rare loot is crazy

[unique plover]

If shoreline was more like woods, it would be a really good map

[sinful valve]

Ikr?

Add more foliage bsg holy

[coarse raptor]

lol if shoreline was like anything else it'd be good

[winter shoal]

spot the rats

[unique plover]

Woods has so many valuable loot spawns and people just dont know where to look

Did y’all know there is a GPU spawn in the village?

[winter shoal]

yes

[unique plover]

because I didn’t until a few weeks ago

[stable island]

that my avg kit

all m62

[sinful valve]

😂 it helps when you’re worried about getting killed from nowhere

[winter shoal]

bro you wanna go duos

id love to store my BT rounds in that lovely helmet of yours

[sinful valve]

My man about to rob you

[stable island]

hahah

wait

[unique plover]

If I’m going shoreline I’m bringing an RFB

[sinful valve]

Ump meta baby

[unique plover]

The RFB is a monster and its relatively cheap

Nah I’m not going in resort

[winter shoal]

rfb is based but i prefer the ak 74N

[modest zenith]

without knowing the maps when u double o is there anyway of knowing which way to go or where they are

[unique plover]

Pull up a map and look for your landmarks

If you have a compass it helps if you are on woods or someplace bigger

[clear tiger]

not really. Green extracts either mean you've been there or activated them. Suggestion is to pull up a map on your phone or extra monitor

[stable island]

ive got a few things lol

[winter shoal]

i trust everyone to say all the obvious stuff but your extracts are always across the map from where you spawn

[clear tiger]

that's a lot of things

[jagged solstice]

where do i find repellent

[pure talon]

where did you got your hex from?

[modest zenith]

any maps any one sugestes

[winter shoal]

bro so where we going for duos?

[winter shoal]

mapgenie

[clear tiger]

customs

[stable island]

quest reward 90% sure

[pure talon]

i don't think so

[stable island]

not feeling to comfy with that head tap comment hahaha

[clear tiger]

customs have your two starting quests

and its one of the smallest maps

[winter shoal]

dw man my bullets will be very warm when they leave my gun

[stable island]

eiuther that or stashes got 1 slick from stash 1 from weapon crate

[unique plover]

Learn customs like the back of your hand, it’ll help a lot with your early game quests

[clear tiger]

getting this pocket watch is gonna prove to be a pain

i either have to get lucky with smuggler's boat or get RUAF

[sinful valve]

Fucking ttv boys camping east shoreline spawn

Sadge

[unique plover]

They probably weren’t camping honestly

[winter shoal]

going into raid liek this

[unique plover]

They probably went up to a hill and looked where your spawn was and saw you

[sinful valve]

Yeah

[stable island]

that'll help the str lol

[unique plover]

Favorite way to play shoreline is to get to a high point immediately after spawn and look towards other spawns to catch people as they run to resort

[clear tiger]

where do you get shattered mask from? i only see it in fence

[unique plover]

If you play it right and get lucky…you’ll get the entire resort to loot

[winter shoal]

i just want to say that the guy i got this from had a bastion and i shot him in the face with ps rounds

[pure talon]

common spawn on scavs

[sinful valve]

Not that I know of

[stable island]

that always feels good i used to only run sks head taps cheapo and effective

[sinful valve]

I’ve seen it on cultists

[unique plover]

Shattered masks spawn on scavs all the time bruh

It’s not rare to find em

[sinful valve]

Really?

[winter shoal]

killing that guy made me realise that shattered masks are better than helmets (situationally)

[clear tiger]

rate the loadout

[unique plover]

0/10 put on a paca at least you scrub

[pure talon]

yes 😉

[unique plover]

You’re gonna die to a scav as soon as you see one

[winter shoal]

i dont believe paca does anything

[stable island]

yeah just run exfils or airframes with faceshields

[unique plover]

Paca saves you from scavs, not players

[sinful valve]

Good god

[winter shoal]

paca is as good as taping a sheet of paper on your chest

[sinful valve]

Agreed

[clear tiger]

i get one shot through thorax all the time by scavs

while wearing paca

[stable island]

don't think you're escaping tarkov 😄

[pure talon]

have to establish credentials somehow 😉

[sinful valve]

If I were you I’d go woods

[unique plover]

I’m on punisher part 5 and it sucks lol. It basically is useless but not entirely against other scavie boys

[sinful valve]

Low encounter rate, decent loot

[magic niche]

hey everyone 🙂
Does anyone have this key and can help me out please? stuck with this quest

[winter shoal]

i swear this is opposite for me

everywhere i go im getting shot at

[sinful valve]

What region are you?

[clear tiger]

yeah, i just want to get the Checking quest done with then i can go to woods and do Searching as well

[stable island]

i did that part paired with tarkov shooter quests 😄

[sinful valve]

@winter shoal

[pure talon]

try lfg channel as well

[clear tiger]

hopefully i get RUAF and dont die on the way to the pocket watch

[pure talon]

or you can try random reserve voice channels as well

[sinful valve]

Punisher 4 is so expensive

[magic niche]

tryed that, got negative reactions , toxic ones

[winter shoal]

EU

mostly london servers

[sinful valve]

Aw wish I could help

[winter shoal]

i play on NA too

[sinful valve]

I love woods

What’s your ping on New York server?

[winter shoal]

90

[clear tiger]

drip acquired

[sinful valve]

That’s not bad

Let me know if you wanna do a run or two

[winter shoal]

my woods route is the one 2lew recommends

[sinful valve]

I’m not the best but I know some spots

[winter shoal]

this one

[sinful valve]

Oh

[stable island]

see my wood route goes right thru sawmill lol

[winter shoal]

nah im good

dont wanna get assassinated by some sweaty 8x scope user

[stable island]

killed a juicy 3 man in cabins there last inght

[sinful valve]

I would not go through scav town personally

[clear tiger]

any idea where i can get a hand drill for the second stash upgrade?

[winter shoal]

scav town is like 50/50

but yeah i agree every time i go there i regret it

[sinful valve]

I also only go usec really early or really late

If you are spawning at the roadblock and dont go to snipe people at med camp you’re doing it wrong

[sinful valve]

Why do you skip med camp brother? @winter shoal

[unique plover]

And usually I’m full by the time i hit village so i just extract there

[stable island]

the camp is pretty ballin

[sinful valve]

Picked up an opthalmoscope there today

[unique plover]

Med camp is lit, so much loot

[clear tiger]

what's Shturman's spawn rate?

[stable island]

ass

[winter shoal]

the weird thing is im good at pvp but as soon as I go into pmc i become the biggest holder of anxiety

[sinful valve]

Regularly get grizzlies, adrenaline’s and obdolbos

[winter shoal]

so ive ended up running the outskirts

[sinful valve]

Pvp?

[stable island]

feel like his spawns been nerfed since i need to kill him 11 more times

[sinful valve]

I wouldn’t say it’s that pvp heavy

[modest cargo]

29%

[winter shoal]

really?

i havent been there in a bit

[sinful valve]

I run there a lot

It’s pve heavy if nothing else

[winter shoal]

maybe i should give it a go

and report my findings

[unique plover]

Scavs take some pot shots at you from so far away its deadly lol

[winter shoal]

ill slap a prismic 2.5x on an ak

[sinful valve]

If I spawn east I recommend going med, then I rotate through checkpoint to check card spawn, check the forest stashes between sawmill and scope shack, check scope then extract

[clear tiger]

pocket watch any% speedrun attempt number 2

[sinful valve]

I can help

[unique plover]

Are you talking about the checkpoint with the black SUV?

[pure talon]

try to take it slow maybe?

[sinful valve]

Yes but most times I skip

[unique plover]

Yeah if I’m spawning east, guaranteed its going to be hit by the time i get there. You’ll have better luck heading up towards village and old sawmill

[clear tiger]

i'll try it once more by myself, if i dont get it we'll see. also fyi. my mic doesn't work, so you might not want to run with me

[sinful valve]

No worries let me know how it goes

[pure talon]

in celebration of my 400th raid I'll let you in 😉

[sinful valve]

Ah you’re wonderful

[meager beacon]

Yo, this might sound weird, but I've got like 20 hours in and I know how things more or less work, but I've just been running Woods and would like to know stuff from like someone that's been playing for a while

[unique plover]

What do you want to know?

[meager beacon]

Probably just a different map and some meta stuff, I suppose

[rain wing]

woods is a scary place

[meager beacon]

Woods caches are fun once you stop caring about gunshots for the most part from what I've figured out

Avoid Lumber and USEC camps and it's just a nice stroll

[rain wing]

yeah I seem to have a tendency to run straight to the hotspots then get blasted by some chad

oh

and the landmines

I've gotten blasted by some people but it is what it is

[brittle canyon]

the answer is 6

[unique plover]

Learning woods is good because a lot of beginners have trouble navigating it. You can make a LOT of money on woods

[pure talon]

I would still argue that customs is the best money for scav runs 😉

[brittle canyon]

customs??

[unique plover]

I’m talking about PMC runs

[smoky moth]

woods has the most scav spawns imo

[meager beacon]

I've got a stash full of barter shit for upgrades and stuff and I'm really not worried about ending up broke. Scavving is easy if I really need cash, but I'd like to learn shit and stuff.

[magic niche]

is there any pmc custom runs you can recommend?

[smoky moth]

scav bunker has lots of em

[unique plover]

Learn customs then, you’re gonna need it for quests

[brittle canyon]

bro just go loothouse

[winter shoal]

doesn't beat lighthouse no way

[pure talon]

my approach is - pmc is for fun, scav is for money

[magic niche]

lol, i have it the opposite xD

[unique plover]

Just focus on questing since you have the money thing down it sounds Iike, the natural progression of maps will come with the quests. It’s usually customs, woods, interchange, shoreline

[rain wing]

I just hit the stashes

I've gotten some decent loot from them

got an mdr once

I think that's what it was called

[unique plover]

Custom loot runs is HEAVILY spawn dependent, since its such a small map

[sinful valve]

How much money you got? Also standard or eod?

[rain wing]

bullpup 7.62

[meager beacon]

Hah I'm not worried about much, I was just hoping I could learn something!

[pure talon]

i've bought 11+ t7s this wipe looting only on scav runs, only on customs

[rain wing]

got a tetriz once as well

[clear tiger]

my game is bugged. it wont let me ADS or shoot

[meager beacon]

Been literally throwing it away tonight trying to find PMC fights in Sawmill, but I've got 600k after a full gear up (SKS and shit gear) and I know I could just get it all back pretty quick

[clear tiger]

it almost killed me

[coarse raptor]

lol I spawned with pilgrim pack...a pscav is going to shoot me, guarantee it

[unique plover]

Learn how to turn on power on customs for the extract, learn the little known loot buildings, (like streamer/roler room, computer room near zb11, etc)

[sinful valve]

Oh nice. What makes you look for fights at sawmill?

[clear tiger]

is there anyway to fix it?

[winter shoal]

Caches have the same loot on all maps

So you'd probably get more on shoreline

[magic niche]

staying awake just for the quiz xD
2:25 am

[meager beacon]

I have a pretty good handle on Scav Woods spawns and I just wanted to up the game. I could just dash around the edges of Woods forever if I wanted but I want to learn more.

[unique plover]

Start chasing some fights, the only way to get better at PVP, is to PVP

You hear some shots ring out, go try to find out where they are and get a good vantage spot

[clear tiger]

it isn't letting me ADS or shoot. is there a fix?

[sinful valve]

In terms of pvp? I’d move on to customs or shoreline for that. This way you get the new tasks down, so two birds one stone

[unique plover]

Set up an ambush if you can figure out where they are going next

[pure talon]

the main difference for me, is that i'm able to almost always extract within 3 minutes no matter where i am, i try to keep my scav runs under 10 minutes

[clear tiger]

guess i just got to play a pacifist tarkov raid

[unique plover]

Those are most of my interchange raids nowadays lol

[meager beacon]

Yeah I have to tackle Prapor's opening quest at some point

[bold kernel]

The first one?

[unique plover]

Definitely start your quest lines.

[sinful valve]

I could take you and the other dude in here on a few runs

[unique plover]

You’re going to get so much XP from them, and you need to do them to level up your traders.

[meager beacon]

I've done other quest lines, just not his

[unique plover]

Prapor is important to get your Punisher quest line. Let’s you buy 7.62 BP after punisher pt 5

[sinful valve]

Punisher part 4 kills are hellish

[meager beacon]

I'd definitely be down for that

[sinful valve]

Cool give me a few minutes

[winter shoal]

for the record im level 29

oh wait its in my name

[meager beacon]

I just haven't messed with other maps because I spent so much time learning Woods like the back of my hand

[sinful valve]

Nah I was talking about cat bear

[unique plover]

Punisher part 4 is easy for me. Just snipe on shoreline

[winter shoal]

npp

[bold kernel]

Woods is a goated map to first learn

[sinful valve]

You could come too lol

Customs squad roll deep

[lyric tundra]

i always get so fucking lost lol

[winter shoal]

ill consider it i have a stomach ache so i might skip

[meager beacon]

Woods is fun and I love it if I don't end up spawning near Scav Bunker where I have to look at trees and shit

[bold kernel]

Or accidentally cross the minefield :/

It doesn’t too much damage tho which is weird

[meager beacon]

Haven't hit a mine in ages

[clear tiger]

sniper scavs kinda hitting a bit different

[meager beacon]

There's only the one on Woods

And he's like right in the middle

[bold kernel]

Yeah you can just climb up there and kill him

[inland totem]

didnt know you had to accept a task to complete it.....time to kill scavs again.

[clear tiger]

more the merrier

[inland totem]

hows this ppsh?
