#

Nope.

sterile minnow
#

sterile minnow

It's a bolt action anyway. If you can fire 5 rounds in a gunfight. Your normally dead anyway

sterile minnow

#

Vepr would do you better if you can get one

#

Ooor OP sks

empty topaz
#

Or fuck it. Run the mosin

#

Lps slapps

olive bough
#

If hatchlings run with axes, how do you call someone who runs with a RR?

rain wing
#

vpo 101 is bolt action?

sterile minnow
#

Or that

olive bough
#

Serious question.

empty topaz
sterile minnow

Rebelious hatchlings

olive bough
#

Tbh they should really add an extract for the RR on shoreline

nocturne junco
#

so for example for this, i can just vendor it cause people can buy it from prapor lv 3?

olive bough
#

Like north of the resort

olive bough
delicate canyon

Manly men run the vss

#

Do you guys think RR is worth it?

nocturne junco
#

sterile minnow
#

To buy? Hell no

nocturne junco
#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js5JssPR1TM i just followed this video, very well done

Short explanation w/ 3 accelerated play-throughs at end. Very low Risk, nighttime Scav run guide for high tier loot w/o firing a shot. Much of this route was taught to me by my good friend FC Vulture. Check him out here: https://www.twitch.tv/tarkovsvulture.

Also good on LH, if you loot the villa

olive bough
#

Also rouges are very weird

remote monolith
olive bough
#

Like I remember once when I was a scav I managed to give the rouges kisses without getting shot

#

And other times they shoot my scav on sight

#

Maybe that one scav had something going on with that USEC flooshed

sterile minnow
#

Think rogues are kinda hit or miss on scavs

empty topaz
#

Hehe

sterile minnow
nocturne junco
#

he said that if u approach from the southwest they aggro

sterile minnow
#

Good point

nocturne junco
#

i just walked in from within water treatment and they fully ignored me

olive bough
#

Wtf

sterile minnow
#

Wha

#

Time to do LH then

nocturne junco
#

go to 12:30 in the video

wide fable
#

i got kicked out bcs my ping sudddenly peaked to 200? wtf is this

olive bough
#

That’s why they aggro’d me when I was doing easy job and the other pk task

nocturne junco
#

ah wait nvm wrong timestamp

olive bough
#

(Managed it in one go btw)

#

“Bandit over here!”

sterile minnow
wide fable
sterile minnow
#

Hmmm weird

wide fable
#

probably bcs my internet but why the game kicked me out

olive bough
#

Probably your connection yeah

empty topaz
#

Right. Be honest with me. Who here has extract camped?

olive bough
#

Sometimes the game kicks you if u got too high ping

sterile minnow
olive bough
wide fable
#

aight so its the game feature ye?

olive bough
#

Only tried twice

#

For jager’s quest

empty topaz
#

Karma strikes

sterile minnow
#

Not sure if you can change max ping or something

wide fable
#

aight i see, thanks bros

olive bough
#

Imo exfil camping is justifiable only if ur doing quests

empty topaz
#

Never

olive bough
#

I gave up on it anyways, no one got extract camped successfully

#

Maybe that’s why I only got camped once

#

The karma knows that I did nothing wrong at the end of the day

empty topaz
#

You deserved it

#

Both deaths

#

Both times

olive bough
#

Didn’t die twice tho, I just extracted those two times

empty topaz
#

Although I can't deny I watch extract campers on YouTube and twitch to better learn the spots people use so i can counter then

#

Damn auto correct

crimson wharf
#

how much would you guys recommend i sell for?

olive bough
#

Sell.. what exactly

crimson wharf
#

yo wtf

#

i swear i typed cordura

#

but yeah cordura

olive bough
#

Lol anyways, check flea

#

Just right click and filter by item

crimson wharf
#

i've heard that its been really volatile as of recently

#

due to some barter being changed?

#

i think at least

empty topaz
#

Wait for it to settle down a lil bit

#

To get a better idea of the price

crimson wharf
#

true

marsh harbor
#

is zhuk the best cheap not-tier-5 armor?

carmine shore
#

why are labs cards so common on scavs?

olive bough
#

Come again?

unkempt yoke
#

should i sell intelligence folders or use them for something

marsh harbor
#

you'll need like 5-6 of them

#

so save

unkempt yoke
#

for what

marsh harbor
#

hideout

#

oh 34

#

nevermind

#

they sell for like 350K

#

if you have inteligence center

upbeat elk
#

U can use them for scav case

marsh harbor
#

which I assume you do

olive bough
#

Hm how good are intel scav cases

#

Better than moonshine?

unkempt yoke
#

is scav case worth it

empty topaz
#

It's risk free loot

olive bough
#

Yeah

#

Also it feeds you gambling addiction

empty topaz
#

And you can get some pretty great stuff

#

I've even had a friend get a red keycard

sterile minnow
olive bough
#

I’m 29 and still can’t win half of the encounters with PMCs!

upbeat elk
# unkempt yoke is scav case worth it

I've been mostly running moonshine and intel and i'm down bad. I've lost too much money to talk about it 😄

If u keep running the 95k one, its easy profit tho.

olive bough
#

Oh I should probably edit the name

sterile minnow
#

Cant win them all yano

remote monolith
crimson wharf
#

is doing regulated materials worth it?

unkempt yoke

fervent swift
#

I just avoid sordins and the tinnitus machines

crimson wharf
#

#

on flea of course

#

#

#

#

nocturne junco
#

i got blown up by a mine earlier

#

i just got flea market and have 2.5mil from selling stuff i dont need for quests and stuff any advice on what i should buy

empty topaz
#

If you don't already have one

sterile minnow
humble pollen
#

i can only imagine using flea this is my first wipe and i am level 12 and its taking foreverrr

delicate canyon
#

you can get an items case for 2 mil if you buy 15k euro from skier

#

if you are lacking space

#

otherwise its not really worth it

nocturne junco
#

sterile minnow
rain wing
#

I have no idea if this is even good or not

crimson turret
#

hi guys I just started to play EFT, why do other scavs Humans kill? whats the point in that?

sterile minnow
#

Looks pog
What ammo?

rain wing
#

m80

rain wing
#

no reason

#

they just want your loot

rain wing
#

they probably don't give a shit about their fence rep

#

or

#

yeah

#

braindead

#

oh wait

#

not m80

#

sorry I'm stupid

#

m856

sterile minnow
#

Ive been killed too many times by pscavs I need to let out the anger

crimson turret
#

ok thats sounds shity because it doesn't help either new players to learn how to play because is difficult to know who is who

sterile minnow
# rain wing m856

Well shit I can't remember if this is good or nah
I dont think its the Shittiest ammo tho

rain wing
#

ah

scenic bramble
#

@sterile minnow its pretty much the worst ammo

sterile minnow
rain wing
#

😩

sterile minnow
rain wing
#

aight but

#

👀

scenic bramble
#

@sterile minnow 855 is slightly better

#

I would sell tbh m4 got nerfed very heavily

sterile minnow
rain wing
#

damn

#

scenic bramble

The initial recoil is horrible on it rn

tawdry siren
#

Im tryna do jaegers quest where u gotta get kills in office factory, out of the past 10 runs 9 have been the forklift spawn, opposite to the map and sandwiched between two people its such a pisstkae

sterile minnow
#

Got like a 30k scope, 25k silencer

rain wing
#

sterile minnow
#

Idk if you can flea that mag?

The mag is very good tho

sterile minnow
rain wing
#

so strip down all the parts?

#

then sell the base gun?

sterile minnow
sterile minnow
rain wing
#

wait

#

really?

sterile minnow
#

Stripped an svd to nothing and still got full price

rain wing
#

wait wait wait

scenic bramble
#

I would sell pistol grip and stock aswell

rain wing
#

so stripping everything off a gun

#

would give you the same sell price as the gun with all the attachments on?

#

or

sterile minnow
#

It's minmax but its a thing

scenic bramble
#

No the price does change

rain wing
#

then sell the attachments individuall?

#

ohh

crimson turret
scenic bramble
#

Depends on the gun

pure mist
#

I’m too lazy

reef geyser
#

i just got the violet card

#

doo i sell it?

scenic bramble
#

Yes

fair trench
#

why did i get 1 shotted in this gear?

#

from like 900m

#

with what sounded like a shotgun

scenic bramble
#

It is not a very good card in my opinion from previous wipes

pure mist
#

2 I think

7.62 54mm r snb gzh

Whatever bullet that is

pure mist

Nothing stops this bullet?

pretty cringe

pure mist

Absolutely nothing

sterile minnow
scenic bramble
sterile minnow
#

Shit shreds

fair trench
#

the guy was naked head glitched from the other side of factory

#

i hit him for 301 and

scenic bramble
#

Headglitch?

fair trench
#

From what it looked like yeah

#

brother had like the smallest corner of his cranium visible

crimson turret
scenic bramble
#

Pretty sure that is not a thing in tarkov

#

Its called smooth lean

fair trench
#

all i know is i got 1tapped in what to me seems like god armor lmao

fair trench
#

So far every run ive ever used armor i just get 1tapped so it feels absolutely unnecessary to use

#

No idea just looked like this

sterile minnow
fair trench
#

look like a fucking storm trooper

scenic bramble
#

Avs is class 4 snb can pen class 5+

sterile minnow
#

It's called a trooper mask too

scenic bramble
#

and that aswell

sterile minnow
#

!sherpahub

tribal robinBOT
fair trench
#

are all armors apart from like top tier ones useless? Feels like it sometimes

crimson turret
fair trench
#

I 1 shot this guy wearing this gear with a double barrel in the legs..

sterile minnow
#

Sherpas are knowledgeable and helpful players who help newbies with abc etc

carmine shore
#

i fucking love going on my scav and spawning without a backpack, all the good loot suddenly appears

sterile minnow
#

You got it man glglgl

scenic bramble
crimson turret
scenic bramble
#

Thats a bot my guy

#

Lmao

fair trench
#

I suppose but at the same time if im spending 60k+ on a piece of gear and still get 1shot it feels pretty saddening, especially by a guy with a double barrel

crimson turret
#

lol yeah I just noticed when I read the nam ;D

carmine shore
#

it happens

scenic bramble
#

Trust i get headeyes 20+ times a day when I play and most of the time it's all in a row

pure mist
#

It’s got like 65 pen no way anything will stop it

#

Ricochet possibly but that’s it

scenic bramble
#

@pure mist altyn and rys have small chances prob but not much

fair trench
#

the armor feels very inconsistent at least, sometimes i'll deal 12 to someone with 300+ damage blocked by armor other times i just fold them like an omelet with the same rounds

crimson turret
#

what can we store in dogtag containers ?

fair trench
#

dogtags

scenic bramble
#

Even lapua ap can be ricochet but its just incredibly small chance

remote kettle
pure mist
#

3.7% chance

scenic bramble
#

@remote kettle either way it stops it in a way

fair trench
#

So 1 snb to the skull is instant death to ANY armor in the game?

pure mist
#

Prob almost the same likelihood to ricochet

fair trench
#

or like 2 snb shots to the chest is also instant death?

scenic bramble
#

Just saying there is only a small chance of not dying

pure mist
#

Think about it irl

remote kettle
pure mist
#

It’s a big round

tawdry apex
#

anyone on eu got time to help me with a praport quest on factory?

scenic bramble
#

@remote kettle thats not what I said

fair trench
#

Is there a cringe strat to running some shit gun with a few of those and just hoping on 1 shotting full gears?

scenic bramble
#

But whatever not trying to argue

remote kettle
pure mist
pure mist
#

Recoil really high even meta and expensive to build

scenic bramble
pure mist
#

Brand new svd cost 96k

fair trench
#

oh can it only be used by an svd

scenic bramble
pure mist
#

Mosin or sv98

scenic bramble
#

Yeah

pure mist
#

Only semi is svd in the game

fair trench
#

I'm gonna craft a bit of them and run a mosin i guess

#

may aswell try it if it fucking 1 shots through anything

scenic bramble
#

Nice

pure mist
#

If you hit limb could be more

scarlet jetty
#

SVT-40 when

scenic bramble
#

What dat again

unkempt yoke
#

scenic bramble
#

Bruh it look like sks with a mag

#

lets go i just spawned on my 29038472th toz scav

scenic bramble
#

Lol

split dagger
#

It shows you the price that he offered you but if you remove attachments he will pay less

digital sable
#

Is 95k scav case ever worth it? I keep getting random cheap weapon mods… should I just be buying moonshine or intel for my gambling fix?

tawdry siren
#

if you do a run through does it not count as found in raid or smthn? just got my first secure flash drive and i got the hell outta factory but it doesnt count, wasnt in my pouch so idk why, i exfilled too

scenic bramble
#

@tawdry siren yes no found in raid if run through

tawdry siren
#

ASRSGAG GGFHG HFH SA pain

scenic bramble
#

Customs is best place to find them

olive bough
scenic bramble
#

Customs has over 5 safes

olive bough
#

Yes but you need keys and they almost always get looted

scenic bramble
#

In 1 building and they very commonly spawn flash drives more than cabinets

#

Still the best spot

olive bough
#

I’d assume that’s dorms aye

#

Love getting head eyes from a chad when I’ m here grabbing the flashdrive

scenic bramble
#

Sure is

remote kettle
scenic bramble
rigid wind
#

is the svd worth keeping?

scenic bramble
#

Yes

olive bough
#

Sewer manhole exists for a reason

scenic bramble
#

@olive bough can't get shit out of raid with that extract

olive bough
#

Ik but if you’re going for the flash drive

#

It’s a good way to get out

#

Also 2 steps away from knight buildings

scenic bramble
#

Still would rather get more than just a flash drive

olive bough
#

Fair point

remote kettle
olive bough
#

That’s kinda why I bought RR anyways

rigid wind
#

im 100% gonna lose it

scenic bramble
#

Still use it

remote kettle
upbeat elk
carmine shore
#

im waiting till i unlock p90 mags to go lose it first raid i use it

#

Except that santa bag I keep in my stash as a reminder of how stupid I am KEK

rigid wind
#

thats true

olive bough
#

Fuck you santa.

remote kettle
#

tagilla spawned with them

olive bough
#

damn

#

Also it came to my knowledge that only people with karma below -1 get fence tasks

#

And I’ma t -0.8

#

So I’m afraid I’m gonna have to do a bit of trolling

carmine shore
#

are the reason i fucking hate scavving

#

also when i spawn with toz

#

or when i spawn without a backpack

olive bough
#

I swear I do not kill pscavs usaually

#

I’m all for scav cooperation

#

But… I will get that freaking quest. By any means

#

Or I’ll kill few ai scavs so people don’t get mad

carmine shore
#

kill some ai scavs or sum

#

good

olive bough
#

Yeah

clear lintel
#

Struggling with these extraction points...and I'm flat broke 👀

dawn geyser
clear lintel
#

When I do find one...you need items to be able to leave 😔

storm shard
#

you only need roubles to extract at vehicle extracts

clear lintel
clear tiger
storm shard
#

run some scavs, they are there so you aren’t able to go totally broke

smoky moth
#

yea, do factory runs and sell them scav gears

#

or do a larger map and loot till your scav gets thicc af

clear tiger
#

factory runs can be profitable as scav, especially if you can get to the safe in office first

dawn geyser
#

I really do wonder what's the longest scav cooldown anyones every had

clear lintel
#

I'm running scav but it's the extraction part I need to suss out

smoky moth

#

the saferoom in factory has an extraction right next to it

#

if you are playing as scav, that is

#

i usually just loot safe and the filing cabinets, then the jackets next to the door and dip

#

also the dead scav is pretty good sometimes

woeful spruce

#

customs is a map pretty good on extracts, there's only a select two or three that get camped occasionally

i use it often

dusky geyser
clear tiger
#

dunno if i should try for the pocket watch again or just keep doing scavs until i got some money

keen viper
#

Pocket watch.

#

You need to do the quests to level up later so bad.

dusky geyser
dawn geyser
keen viper
#

So you better get to the quests netting 20K EXP at least ASAP.

#

That means doing the first few quests as soon as possible.

dusky geyser
#

since no suppressor id say the skier one is better

smoky moth
keen viper
#

@clear tiger if you are struggling that bad, do a SCAV run, take that gear and then go in with that for your PMC round. Or just do SCAV rounds until you get a good weapon.

clear tiger
#

that's what im doing right now.

hearty magnet

gotta love the discorb link

crimson wharf
#

catched it an now my laptop is making funny noises

keen viper
#

People posting spam and scam shit in a beginner chat. Disgraceful.

dusky geyser
#

but the owner of that account is gonna come back and see that in pings

#

which is less than ideal lmao

clear tiger

catched it and now i can hear russian people outside my door

so when do i get my nitro?

dusky geyser
green raft
#

best items to sell to skier/peacekeeper?

keen viper
dawn geyser
#

If you want Peacekeeper rep, I recommend just buying dollar straight up

keen viper
#

Yeah.

dawn geyser
#

Yo'ull end up using Dollars in the future for most nato weapon mods

keen viper
#

You need dollars.

#

So bad.

#

25K for the air filter alone.

green raft
smoky moth
#

man, i rushed labs so many times for the meldonin to complete samples, only for the face shield to be peacekeeper LL4

clear tiger
#

i'm just gonna run in with a micro-rig and some shitty guns to at least kill low-tier pmc's and scavs

keen viper
#

Then a couple of quests too.

keen viper
#

You need condensed fuel.

green raft
#

i can buy it on flea

#

like not for the quest

keen viper
#

More expensive.

green raft
#

just for trader $

#

i need 11k for peacekeeper im fucked

keen viper
#

The barter works well if you do not buy the items required, but just farm them.

#

Just buy dollars.

clear tiger
#

any idea one some good guns i can buy from LL1 on all traders?

scenic bramble
#

@green raft 11k is only 1.1mil

keen viper
#

Honestly.

green raft
scenic bramble
#

@clear tiger nothing gud lvl1

green raft
#

ill just buy dollars then

#

thanks

keen viper
#

:)

scenic bramble
#

Just sell things to him

green raft
#

true

dawn geyser
#

He needs skier rep is the problem

scenic bramble
#

It count things sold too

dawn geyser
#

Sell all things to Skier, buy dollars from Peacekeeper

#

Skier is a buttcheek to get up

#

He just scams you CB_kek

green raft
#

im debating on either taking out my m4s with shit ammo or just selling them

dawn geyser
#

Selling 100% if they're stock

scenic bramble
#

Use them

green raft
#

im shit tho

#

and no good ammo

#

bc no flea rn

#

lvl 13

dawn geyser
#

They're uncontrollable and you're using 855, sell them

scenic bramble
#

Kill things even scavs and sell what you get

#

Single fire hello?

scenic bramble
#

@clear tiger yes

grim cipher
#

does the message they sent in the support tickets mean a day after they respond to our message, or a day after the bug occurs, referring to the upgrade bug

Learn a safer map then such as woods

how to complete map-non-specific scav kill quests: go to woods
bring an mre and water
go to lumberyard
kill

keen viper
scenic bramble
#

Its very new player friendly aswell

Woods is not safer than Reserve.

or if you like suffering: go to factory

crimson wharf
#

customs is the best first map to learn

scenic bramble
#

@keen viper it is a basic map that relies upon aim which makes it the easier to win fights for newer players

clear tiger
keen viper
#

The only map that can be considered difficult for a beginner is Interchange. Labs is out of the picture anyway...but yeah.

strange flower
#

need help with the executioner quest

scenic bramble
#

Reserve is definitely also not new player friendly

#

And you need hella keys for it to be any good

crimson wharf
keen viper
clear tiger
#

also- sniper scavs don't count for killing-scav quests, right?

keen viper
#

They do count.

scenic bramble
#

@keen viper you avoid the old side of the map and its very safe

nocturne junco
#

any special item i can buy from flea and sell to skier for minimal loss? so i can boost my money spent for ll2

# scenic bramble And you need hella keys for it to be any good

Wrong. If you can rush D2 in around 7 minutes you'll likely not face any extract campers.

All the times I managed to get there in around 7 minutes I have been ambushed twice in like 20 raids.

Once the round has progressed past 7, 8, 9 minutes...D2 is a death-sentence unless you wait until the last ten minutes of the round.

#

It is all about timing.

#

The bunker questline is good at teaching you.

#

Timing is the most important on Reserve.

scenic bramble
#

@keen viper its not d2 campers to worry about its power campers

keen viper
#

7 minutes.

#

You are good.

fringe rivet
scenic bramble
#

Its the reserve meta rn is to go straight down from king into power

keen viper
#

If you worry about power campers then throw a nade in there.

#

Not like they are expensive.

crimson wharf
#

if you want to play reserve just get a red rebel duh

scenic bramble
#

Doesn't work like that

keen viper
#

Nades do work like that.

#

Throw.

#

Boom.

split dagger
#

Red rebel is a must for reserve

scenic bramble
#

Get shot in the head when peaking boom

split dagger
#

Makes the map 10 times easier

keen viper
#

You can throw it into the room, without peaking into it.

scenic bramble
#

NEW players can't get RR

split dagger
#

True

keen viper
#

D2 is safe when you get the timing right and the bunker loot is good.

#

My take on it.

crimson wharf
#

IMO the only viable ways to play reserve is to either play with a red rebel or don't bring a backpack and expect to extract out of manhole

scenic bramble
#

@keen viper people can avoid nades easily nowadays with like average hours being at least 500

keen viper
#

Names?

#

Ah,...

scenic bramble
#

Bruh

#

Auto correct could fuck off pls

keen viper
#

How does time factor into the damage of grenades?

#

Or avoiding them?

#

Like...they are meat and bones.

scenic bramble
#

People know how to avoid it is what I'm saying

keen viper
#

Shattering boom-thing go do damage.

peak socket
#

Can someone price check for me in rubles market key rb-pkpm?

crimson wharf
#

people with enough hours will probably hear you pull out the nade and push

keen viper
#

If you are in power you cannot avoid a grenade.

scenic bramble
#

@wary valley new players don't have access

#

@keen viper you can run out

@crimson wharf wdym

keen viper
#

Either way.

#

You are getting the upper-hand.

#

It is about increasing your chances.

scenic bramble
#

@keen viper there is 2 doors out you want me to teleport between them?

#

And new players won't even make it to d2 half of the time

keen viper
#

The timing of exactly 7 minutes worked out for me in like 90% of the time.

#

Get a good route.

#

Stick to it.

#

Keep a tab on the time.

#

Use gear you can afford to lose.

#

Make more bucks than your gear is worth.

deft dew
keen viper
#

Even if you die...you make a no losses.

scenic bramble
#

Well I get shot in the face when that happens so guess I get more pvp in my lobbies cuz I use auto servers

keen viper
#

I am on the stretch of my last 19 million for the complete hideout upgrade with 50 GPUs.

#

You gotta play it like an economy game.

fringe rivet
#

i think my main issue is bad guns and ammo, i tried to kill a pmc on factory with an m4a1 and died, in the raid ended screen i could see I fired 25 shots and got 15 hits

scenic bramble
#

Or people just don't play in power on either servers

#

Because on na there is always someone down there

keen viper
#

Bad guns and good ammo are better.

scenic bramble
#

@keen viper low lvl cant get good ammo

keen viper
#

SCAV on Reserve.

scenic bramble
#

U guys forget this is BEGINNER assistance

#

And there is not garunteed good bullets

fringe rivet
#

it was the best ammo i could buy, m855, yet the guy survived 15 hits to the torso and killed me with one shotgun blast

keen viper
#

You can find a lot on Reserve or craft some early ammo that is good at your first or second workbench.

#

Hell.

#

Flechette wrecks folks.

scenic bramble
#

Need lvl 20 for lvl 2 workbench

crimson wharf
keen viper
#

Oh m855 is not too bad.

#

But the M4A1 is not really that good for Factory.

clear tiger
#

yeah, i got one tapped with a four armor rig through the thorax by a guy with flechette

keen viper
#

Low fire rate. High recoil if you do not mod it.

#

Better chances with a SMG or Shotgun.

#

Even a pistol, then take a SCAV's gun.

crimson wharf
#

M4A1 has a pretty decent fire rate though

clear tiger
#

SMGs are where it's at

keen viper
#

Factory is too close for the M4A1 to really profit.

scenic bramble
#

Meta rn is 762

keen viper
#

Meta right now is anything that works.

#

Like SNB with a Mosin in a bush.

crimson wharf
#

Everywhere else is too far for it to profit either though

#

M4A1 isn't really a go to for me either though

keen viper
#

SCAV runs on Reserve pay out so often.

#

I am just running M4A1 as of late.

#

Peacekeeping mission keeping me occupied.

scenic bramble
#

I get atleast a garunteed 500k every scav on interchange

keen viper
#

So many blue armor pieces.

#

I am a light in the darkness.

#

They see the blue.

#

X_X'

scenic bramble
#

But it is also a more difficult map for new players

crimson wharf
#

How do people end up getting so much on runs?

keen viper
#

PMC interchange is one of the most hardest.

scenic bramble
#

Keys

keen viper
#

SCAV interchange is free real estate.

keen viper
scenic bramble
#

Pvp and high loot skill

crimson wharf
#

Like I feel like I am making nowhere near 500k per run, but it could also be because I am a hoarder

keen viper
#

Be a rat until your hideout is maxed. Then you got enough cash passively to waste cash day by day.

#

This will be the first wipe of me reaching a full lvl 3 bitcoin farm.

clear tiger
#

Some other player scav just murdered me on factory. Fun

keen viper
#

Oh yeah.

#

Happens.

#

But then again. No loss.

scenic bramble
#

First wipe I've ever got to shooterborn and only lvl 20

keen viper
#

Just take your mind off the idea of winning all the time.

#

Enjoy the break.

scenic bramble
#

I used to not do shit

keen viper
#

Take your time and be less stressed out.

#

I am lvl 35 and running like 80% SCAV rounds of my total rounds.

#

You need no PMC rounds to make bank.

#

SCAV karma is so good.

scenic bramble
#

Scaving at lvl 35

clear tiger
#

Scavving still can hold a profit if you're high level

#

It's not like there's a level cap on scav runs

keen viper
#

Getting gifted a flash drive or intelligence folder or a labs card or another 50K rubels like every other raid,...
Get spawned in with a nice backpack or gun...it just pays if you do one or two rounds...that pays for your hideout costs for the whole day!

#

I do not get the folks that look down on running SCAV runs.

#

They are easy bank.

clear tiger
#

Yeah

keen viper
#

This is beginner chat after all.

#

Honestly.

#

I am the worst at direct combat.

clear tiger
#

I almost made some of my hideout upgrades just through scav runs

keen viper
#

I can't aim for shit unless I ambush someone and get a drop on them.

#

I am 100% a rat.

clear tiger
#

Just need one more med stack

rugged carbon
#

Honestly, you don't need to scav run, even as a new player, you just need to learn lighthouse and where the profitable loot spawns.

keen viper
#

I play the game not with the best gun and the best rig as a PMC. I run some gimmick kit and go for it. Go wild.

bold kernel
#

is there a possibility that reviving will be implemented in the game?

carmine shore
#

i was running to exfil geared and some fucking rat one tapped me

rugged carbon
#

Even if you get killed, just sell your stuff to traders, you can make ~300k easy off your case alone

carmine shore
#

whatever lmao

clear tiger
keen viper
#

Unconsciousness had been talked about...not necromancy.

clear tiger
#

I've heard some people say that Streets will bring an unconsciousness mechanic, but I don't know the validity of the statement

keen viper
#

Though I'd love me a spooky grimoire.

#

More masks.

clear tiger
#

Cultists type shit

crimson wharf
#

i feel like unconsciousness would just be aggravating

keen viper
#

Like - I am of the honest opinion that a helmet can be a worse investment than a fancy hat.

#

If you got style, you are less likely to get one tapped.

clear tiger
#

Hats are better than helmets

keen viper
#

Wear your cowboy hat.

#

Wear your Micheal Myers mask.

#

Run the antique axe with the Jason hockey mask.

#

It builds confidence.

rain wing
#

ok I asked about this before

keen viper

Confidence works.

rain wing

do I sell this?

keen viper

You take the scope.

Then sell it.

when do i actually get more offers?

scenic bramble

Very high flea lvl

does higher strength level mean higher yellow weight threshold?

what about the uh

crimson wharf

so lets say at 40kg you get slown down and eat more stamina

does higher strength mean those effects are smaller

oh okay

#

so is it like a direct correlation?

scenic bramble
#

@crimson wharf items sold

wary valley
#

Yes

crimson wharf

like if i am at lvl 1 does that mean ive gotten like one mil from selling on the flea?

Depends on what you go up against

sacred bay
#

Dudes what am I doing wrong exactly... am I playing this whole tarkov wrong? Is it my screen/noise settings that are fucked?
Like overall I'm usually pretty good with tactical games, fps games overall but i just can't get a grip on tarkov... I can't tell how much my playstyle is at fault because often times i feel like my enemy got me due to better screen visibility than me or maybe I'm just not aware enough of the exact ideal spots on maps. I'm lvl 13, usually solo and I'm somewhat familiar with custom and lighthouse maps...(woods too but i fuck that map, crazy snipes xD ) any suggestions what i should work on or fix?

frozen monolith
#

Technically ap-m is the best choice since it has more damage in case of drop off

#

But that also depends on what map you play

Fuck it gooo

sacred bay
#

They are but they both need heavy practice is what I'm trying to point out

whole crest
#

And csgo ur practicing

inland marlin
#

true but you just practice aim in csgo. pretty much. the rest is basic in comparison

#

in tarkov you need to practice aim and memorize all the other stuff

#

then you can compete

sacred bay
#

Yea because there's no tactical aspect in csgo whatsoever

inland marlin
#

so focus on memorizing maps and navigation and quests ect and work on your aim and youll be fine

#

how long that takes depends on how hard you try

sacred bay
#

Just pop heads and get yelled at russians

#

Map knowledge > aim

Any specific maps recommended? Heard reserve got a buff but i never played it

I mean you can argue that Shoreline is hard - if you rush Resort. Maybe.
If you keep a low profile you can do well.

Not only does a map vary drastically in difficulty by the chosen gameplay-style, but also when you put timing and time of day into account. A lot of stuff. A lot.
