[dire matrix]

+5 im lookin at the wiki right now

[remote kettle]

762 bp has +5 recoil

[versed valley]

oh you are talking about 762 bp...

[dire matrix]

i do like 7.62x39 because the mutant really fun. but I cant deny the overwhelming power of 7.62 nato

[remote kettle]

m62 is basically the same as m80 though

[remote kettle]

308 is very good, but like i said its way harder to get a good full auto build for 308

[dire matrix]

more pen, more amor damage, lowers recoil

[fair shoal]

OH THATS FUCNING NICE

dropshotting is a thing in this game too is it?

[bold kernel]

i mean

you cant ads or shoot while proning

afaik

[fair shoal]

not to mention how the fuck did i get in two raids in a row with the same guy

well mans dropshotted me

[dire matrix]

scav getcha? the do that now. its really annoying

i think its a bug

[fair shoal]

not a scav

wait

oh

fuck

[remote kettle]

lower accuracy

[fair shoal]

its fucking killa

[bold kernel]

lol

[outer aurora]

Am pretty new looking for a teammate to learn some new things and get better at maps

[fair shoal]

i knew the name sounded familiar

youre fucking kidding me

two games in a row

[dire matrix]

7.62 nato guns are more accurate by default. accuracy penalties only come into play at like 300 meters plus

[fair shoal]

ive met killa and died

[remote kettle]

lmaoooo. welcome to the devil of interchange

[remote kettle]

or lower durability

[versed valley]

its not bug its poor coding, they should prone while being shot at at sertain and preferably prone into grass

[fair shoal]

he literally fucking dropshotted me

[versed valley]

but because of poor core coding they are kinda bugged

[remote kettle]

tf are you trying to say?

[versed valley]

thats not suprising

[fair shoal]

two games in a row

does killa kill scavs

[versed valley]

yes

[fair shoal]

nice to know

[versed valley]

unless you have 6+ rep

[dire matrix]

scavs have this thing where the drop prone then immediately stand back up when they see you

[remote kettle]

killa still shoots scavs

[fair shoal]

6+ rep with fence?

[remote kettle]

oh yeah that

olympic athletes

[dire matrix]

the can drop prone ln like 3 frames

its wack

[versed valley]

yes

[versed valley]

i think its bugged then

[fair shoal]

wow i cant believe i have a positive kd in this game

[versed valley]

entire scav rep is bugged

[bold kernel]

k/d includes scav kills

[versed valley]

i think it counts scavs

[dire matrix]

it does

[fair shoal]

okay gonna go scav interchange one more time to go to goshan for food

[outer aurora]

I’m looking for a teammate lmao

[fair shoal]

and if i die again then i need somewhere else for food for this dumb jaeger quest

[bold kernel]

#pvp-lfg

[remote kettle]

no just some bosses still randomly merk scavs, and killa is one of them. he wont always shoot you, but he doesnt have great temper. i think if he's been a fight recently he'll shoot anything that moves

[fair shoal]

region?

[outer aurora]

US

[fair shoal]

nope

sorry

killa should eat my fucking ass

[versed valley]

so killa has anger issues from being farmed by vepr hunter

[remote kettle]

pretty much lmao

[fair shoal]

can someone suggest me a place to do jeagers acquaintance quest

because ive been told goshan in interchange is best

[bold kernel]

vepr hunter is my go-to rogue farming tool

[remote kettle]

goshan

[fair shoal]

and if i die to killa in this scav run im not going back to interchange

[remote kettle]

goshan is still the best place, no arguing that

[fair shoal]

okay, other than goshan

[tough oyster]

mil batteries dropped to 300k, and now its 550k should i wait or sell mine?

[remote kettle]

emercom on woods is okay

[fair shoal]

killa should choke on my nuts

[versed valley]

i do find them in wooden crates and food crates

[bold kernel]

what item>

[fair shoal]

i need iskra, elenya croutons and cans of beef stew

[bold kernel]

i find iskra's and croutons in the food crate on 2nd floor fortress on customs

[dire matrix]

thats a pretty big hotzone

[bold kernel]

thats the fun of it

[versed valley]

on reserve there is supply bunker that has like 10+ crates

[bold kernel]

oh i forgot, got my first squad wipe today

walked through hole in fence to crackhouse, my two teammates in front of me immediately get magdumped by two dudes prone in the grass, i run to the blue fence behind the portables, smooth peak the smallest crack between the fence and headshot one peaking out from bus, then run to mechanic and open the back door out toward fortress and wide-swing to see the other dude aiming me down and i hip fire headshot first shot in the mag

[fair shoal]

my bird is trying to mount and fucked my arm while i play

which floor is goshan on

same as ikea and oli?

[dire matrix]

yeah

[bold kernel]

got an exfil, ghzel, t800 with face-shield, p90 with four mags, and as-val with four mags

dudes were mad as fuck

[dusky geyser]

wtf bro

[bold kernel]

shit on

[dire matrix]

looks like an impact nade

[dusky geyser]

nah, it was an RGD-5

from that same scav

[dire matrix]

martyrdom lol. playin mw2

[fair shoal]

okay so

with the front door as my start point, where is the best place to find iskra and food dhit in goshan

[bold kernel]

back shelves

[dire matrix]

farthest left side of the store

[fair shoal]

found like 3 small beef stews

i need a big one tho

[bold kernel]

For the love of god, I've looked everywhere for an answer, someone please help me understand why my load times get like this.

[fair shoal]

how much ram u got

[bold kernel]

8

[fair shoal]

thats why

[bold kernel]

don't most people have 8 gb!?

[fair shoal]

no

[bold kernel]

the recommended requirements are 8

[fair shoal]

you should have at least a 16gb dual channel

yeah

[bold kernel]

minimum is 6

[fair shoal]

the recommended requirements are always horseshot

get a 16 gb dual channel setup

[bold kernel]

gonna need a second opinion on that one

[olive bough]

I thought 8GB ram setups were pretty much extinct by now

[fair shoal]

heres a second opinion lukas

[olive bough]

Like if you’re running windows half of that id used by the OS only

[bold kernel]

fuck it. I was planning on upgrading my ram anyways

[fair shoal]

your 8gb ram setup is garbo, i had one, switched it out for a 16gb dual channel and now my tarkov runs fine

the only pcs with 8gb ram these days are prebuilts

and not very awesome prebuilts

[bold kernel]

I play on a laptop

[fair shoal]

fjejr 4head

[bold kernel]

so yeah, kinda the definition of prebuilt

[fair shoal]

laptop stinky poo

[bold kernel]

it actually works great, aside from tarkov apparently... I dunno though, tarkov runs fine, it's just the load times are insane.

[dire rock]

hey its all some of us got

[fair shoal]

im not hating

i just dont like laptops

[dire rock]

trust me id love to have my setup back home

[bold kernel]

if the issue was ram wouldnt I get lag spikes up the ass due to lack of memory

[fair shoal]

no

because you couldnt get in regardless

computer need memory to load thing

[dire rock]

typically you have to restart the game every now and again because it leaks memory like a bitch

[fair shoal]

8gb memory not enough memory

[bold kernel]

what? I get into games.

[fair shoal]

i mean tarkov

[bold kernel]

me too

[fair shoal]

dude trust me your ram is the issue

[bold kernel]

I've played tarkov, i've done raids, no lag

[fair shoal]

i had the exact same issue

load times of 20 minutes plus

its your fuckin ram bud

what gpu you got

[bold kernel]

then why does me changing server settings help the load times

[fair shoal]

bwcause thats gonna help regardless

your ram is still not doing you a single fucking favour bud

[bold kernel]

nvidia GeForce GTX 1650

it went from 16:00 load times to 5-6, it's that effective?

[dire rock]

load times are only really affected by SSD/HDD, lag spikes are either a memory or processing issue

[bold kernel]

memory, ram, so no lag spikes, no ram issue... right?

random allocated memory

[fair shoal]

okay what are you using hdd wise

either way

[bold kernel]

well for starters I'm using an HHD. I had a theory that was a problem. I figured an SSD would be better, if i could confirm this info I'd download it on to my ssd but it's so small I'd like to be sure before going through with it

[celest dove]

wouldn't say it's a hdd issue unless you're using something you picked up straight from a trashcan
I use a seagate 1tb hdd and my load times are fine

[fair shoal]

if your laptop has the capacity for 16gb ram dual channel do that too

[fair shoal]

how big is your ssd

[bold kernel]

I use the HHD my laptop came with, which is a terabyte

128gb

most of it is taken up my microsofts bs though

[bold kernel]

because youre loading into the server

[fair shoal]

clear it out a little

then run tarkov through it

ive got a 128gb secondhand westernDigital ssd in my pc and im running tarkov and battlefield 4 through it

[bold kernel]

dude, I ain't saying this to be rude, but with all due respect, no shit.

[bold kernel]

32gb here

[bold kernel]

then dont ask a question like that, lmao

[fair shoal]

is there any point to keeping food i find

[coarse raptor]

I think 16 is standard now...

[bold kernel]

"why are my load times effected by my server choice?" "because you have to load into the server" "no shit" ???

lol

[coarse raptor]

I got this computer 4 years ago with 16

[fair shoal]

yeah ive got 16gb dc

i put it in there but yeah

i havent met someone else with an 8gb in ages

[dire rock]

my laptop has 16 but my computer at home has 32

[fair shoal]

even in a laptop

okay so someone big brain here

should i sell my food that i found in raid

i still refuse to sell my mayo

[dire rock]

always a good idea to keep some food in your stash but if its worth anything then sure

[bold kernel]

I asked because this dude claimed my load time issues were ram related, if they were ram related then changing the server I use wouldn't improve the issue, that's why I asked. I think it'd be best if you just sit this one out.

[bold kernel]

you literally load things that are both server-side and client-side when you load into a match, server-side loading is going to be affected by your server choice and client-side loading is going to be effected by your ram

I think it'd be best if you dont talk down to people when asking stupid questions

and learn to talk to people in general

have a good day!

[bold kernel]

so what are the chances that this problem was caused by a combination of ram AND server choice?

[fair shoal]

dude

no one ever said it wasnt

all i told you was 8gb ram isnt enough to be playing tarkov reliably all the time

[echo flower]

why is this such a bad daily

[bold kernel]

I'm just asking questions, not making a statement

[fair shoal]

yeah but youre being hostile

[olive bough]

Lol you didn’t see my daily

[echo flower]

do tell

[bold kernel]

no I'm not, I apologize if that's the idea you're getting while reading my messages, if only I could show tone

[fair shoal]

bcp fmj rounds any good?

[olive bough]

It was like hand in MULE stim for 40k and a pile of meds to thera

Like what no fuck you

[fair shoal]

ayo ales

[olive bough]

Wassup

[olive bough]

Uh one sec

[bold kernel]

gonna uninstall and reinstall on the ssd, see if it changes anything, I read online someone else with a similar issue was using an ssd and had the same issue but honestly I'm willing to try just about anything rn, will update y'all after

[fair shoal]

why uninstall

[olive bough]

Ah, thanks

[fair shoal]

i know theres a way to just re route the game

[dire rock]

np

[fair shoal]

okay so the bcp is decent

[bold kernel]

the game files would still be on the hhd no?

[fair shoal]

@dire rockcheers for your lovely graph

can i see the rest of that little fella

[dire rock]

mhm, its on the battle buddy app if you wanna download it

[fair shoal]

sweet as cheers

gonna work out which ammo to fuck off

i dont remember 545ps being very great

[dire rock]

27 pen 50 dmg

[fair shoal]

oh yikes

yeah thought it sucked

dude i still have the 416 barrel ive been holding on for

ive had it for weeks

i found a 416 barrel in a raid, havent let it go since

[dire rock]

ive been murdering my survival rate in cold fucking blood trying to get a goddamn ophthalmoscope

[fair shoal]

a what

[olive bough]

The stick thing

[fair shoal]

oh damn bp has a little less damage than ps

thats nuts

[fair shoal]

do you guys prefer bp or ps?

[dire rock]

5.45?

[fair shoal]

yup

[bold kernel]

bp is better in both instances

[fair shoal]

fair enough

[bold kernel]

ps is dogshit 545, 762 ps is okay considering its accessibility

but bp still better

[dire rock]

more pen=less dmg in most cases

[fair shoal]

whats more important iyo

[dire rock]

pen

[fair shoal]

alright

[dire rock]

if your rounds cant get through armor whats the point of the dmg

[bold kernel]

wtf

my message got deleted

interesting

[dire rock]

yeah ive noticed that happens sometimes

idk why

[bold kernel]

oh

if you say "pen" followed by the word "is" they think youre dodging a censor filter

[dire rock]

oh lol

[fair shoal]

bahahah

why is that word even censored

[bold kernel]

dmg is better early wipe when people dont have armor

[dire rock]

pen15

haha they dont know my tricks

[bold kernel]

pen better at this point in wipe bc people have t4 and t5 armor

[fair shoal]

penis?

[bold kernel]

wtf

pen is

[fair shoal]

okay what

[dire rock]

wtf

[bold kernel]

alright i was wrong

[fair shoal]

penis

[bold kernel]

idk what was making my shit get deleted

[fair shoal]

👍

[dire rock]

server just says go fuck yourself sometimes ig

[fair shoal]

okay do you guys wanna be hella cute and tell me what shit in my inv to sell

im on the brink of full

fair enough if not

[bold kernel]

post ss

[dire rock]

ive got nothing better to do, my happiness died in the health resort

or hop into a call so we arent typing for 5 years

[fair shoal]

hAh

like my brain will let me do that

[dire rock]

click on a vc?

[bold kernel]

i think he means he has some mental condition that makes him not want to be in a vc with strangers

[dire rock]

or ss?

[fair shoal]

you dont know the power of being autistic and anxious

[dire rock]

yeah so do i its called social anxiety

[fair shoal]

das da inv

[dire rock]

ah fak here we goooo

[fair shoal]

bahaha

[dire rock]

ingame maps arent really useful

[bold kernel]

put the t-bag in the scav bp, fill the t-bag if its not filled

rigs should be filled, maps are sellable

[fair shoal]

the t bag is filled with another t bag

[dire rock]

366 FMJ not good

[bold kernel]

whats inside THAT t-bag?

[celest dove]

i dont think surv kits are gonna be of much use either

[fair shoal]

which has a berkut inside it

[dire rock]

t-45m1 not good

[dire rock]

how so?

[fair shoal]

then that has an mbss

[bold kernel]

can also put azimut in the scav BP and put the stuff that might be in the scav BP in the azimut

[fair shoal]

then the mbss has an mbss

then the mbss has a belt combo tacrig in it

[bold kernel]

basically make sure everything is filled

[celest dove]

3x1 so it's tricky to fit it anywhere (unless you have gamma)

[bold kernel]

the belt combo can hold a lot of shit

[dire rock]

ah tru

[fair shoal]

let me know what to sell first

then ill stuff whats left into my inv

[bold kernel]

for instance i dont have a grenade case yet, so i use a belt combo to hold all my nades

make sure EVERYTHING is filled

[dire rock]

like i said man were gonna be here a while telling you everything

[bold kernel]

apple juice can go, dont need to hold that, surv kits can go

[dire rock]

40mm grenade at the top

[bold kernel]

EKO rounds and HP rounds can go

[dire rock]

10 rnd AK mag

[bold kernel]

T-45 rounds can go

[fair shoal]

t-45?

[bold kernel]

top right corner and top left corner, down one space

[fair shoal]

ah

[remote kettle]

t-45 is just ps but tracer

[fair shoal]

gotta love when your bird shits then rubs his chest into it

[dire rock]

slighty less pen, and PS is cheap enough to buy early

[fair shoal]

wish we could rename things

[bold kernel]

you can rename cases

[versed valley]

its lps but tracer

[remote kettle]

are we talking the 54r t.45 or 762x39?

[coarse raptor]

Is the sks considered bolt action for tasks?

[versed valley]

t46m

[fair shoal]

no

[versed valley]

54r

[bold kernel]

no

[fair shoal]

the sks go bang bang

[versed valley]

how would it be considered bolt action?

[remote kettle]

i said t45 though, and the previous messages have been t45

[coarse raptor]

I know nothing of guns sorry =/

[remote kettle]

because it has a bolt that does an action 😎

[versed valley]

it doesnt have bolt

i am not gun spec tho

it has bolt

[remote kettle]

good luck shooting a gun without a bolt. it has a bolt but you dont manually rack it

[versed valley]

bolt action guns need manual operation of bolt to eject round and put new one into chamber

[remote kettle]

^^

[versed valley]

semi auto do it automaticly probably with force of bullet

[remote kettle]

yes, the gases that push the bullet divert back and racks the bolt automatically

[versed valley]

gun nerd

[remote kettle]

thats the big tube above the barrel of the AK, to lead the gases back to the chamber

[remote kettle]

its fun

[fair shoal]

gun go pew pew

ive got a model baretta

ive got an mp153 with a single grizzly slug in it

anything worth doing with the poopy shotgun

[acoustic flint]

down to help, hmu

[finite terrace]

just curious how did my flechette slugs did 3 damage and 250 damage to armor

don't they go through all armor tiers pretty significantly

[remote kettle]

they consistently pen to level 3, after that youre gonna lost a decent bit of damage to armor until you hit a couple shells to degrade the armor quality

[finite terrace]

yea but 3 damage to 250 armor damage?

shouldn't it be somewhat more balanced

[remote kettle]

not really, hit a shell straight into armor and it didnt go through, so all of it was absorbed

[dire rock]

if it doesnt penetrate then all it does is a tiny fraction

[finite terrace]

so it's like "chance to penetrate"?

[dire rock]

yes

[finite terrace]

oh thought it's penetration percentage, like it would always penetrate but hit less damage

[remote kettle]

ye pen is all chance based, durability of armor, pen value of bullet, and armor class

[finite terrace]

so rng

[copper siren]

what mount can i use on an sks

t1

[dire rock]

gotta think how it would work in real life, if a bullet stops in your armor how much did it actually hurt you?

[remote kettle]

no, either it goes through or it doesnt. if it doesnt go through it does a tiny bit of blunt damage, if it does go through it gets its damage reduced a little bit based on the class, then deals flesh damage

[remote kettle]

grab an op SKS from Jaeger and get one of the dovetail sights, only way to put a sight on an SKS before leveling traders or getting to flea market

[versed valley]

might break ribs

[finite terrace]

well a bullet can penetrate then lose a lot of it's velocity and the damage can be way less lethal

[versed valley]

still blunt force of bullet will hurt like shit

[copper siren]

which one is that?

[remote kettle]

thats what happens when it pens, it loses a % of its damage based on the pen chance and armor class, the lower the pen and the higher the class the more damage you lose

[copper siren]

the dovetail

[versed valley]

yea yellow wood one

[copper siren]

i mean the scope

[remote kettle]

the one called OP-SKS. its a different gun

[copper siren]

i mean the scope

[versed valley]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Axion_Kobra_EKP-8-02_reflex_sight_(Dovetail)

i recommend this sight

any sight with this metal mount on side will work

[remote kettle]

anything that has one of those things that looks like it goes on the side is a dovetail mounted sight

[dire rock]

hence blunt dmg

[versed valley]

yea

[dire rock]

if a bullet gets through your armor 99% of the time its got enough energy left to fuck you up

[versed valley]

you dont need much, humans are squishy

[fair shoal]

how good is the mp153

[quiet kraken]

what's the difference between the ak N and non-N models

[versed valley]

dont use it

[fair shoal]

okay

what about uhhh

grizzly 40 shotgun slugs

[quiet kraken]

for a shotgun it's decent

[fair shoal]

ive been told not to use it so i wont use it

[quiet kraken]

as long as it ain't pump action it's fine-ish

[fair shoal]

it is semi auto

[quiet kraken]

exactly

[versed valley]

dont

[fair shoal]

it sells for nice money though

[versed valley]

use only semi auto

[fair shoal]

so what do i do with mp153

[versed valley]

mp153 isnt semi auto

[fair shoal]

and the singular slug round i have

[versed valley]

sell

[quiet kraken]

it is

[fair shoal]

im looking at it

[versed valley]

mp155 is semi auto

[versed valley]

and it fits to mp153, mp153 mags are kinda uselless

[fair shoal]

fair nuff

so the 6.5 express is good?

[fair shoal]

i dont have flea

[brittle canyon]

quest

[fair shoal]

cbf

[inland storm]

wtf is wrong with the game now im put in a raid that got 9 mins left as a fresh spawn pmc

in lighthouse

[brittle canyon]

lol what

[versed valley]

have you been loading for long time?

[fair shoal]

maps where nuts and bolts are a frequent spawn?

[nocturne junco]

anything with toolboxes

[kind inlet]

anyone know if T45M 762x39 ammo is any good for the AKM? should I just stick to PS?

[fair shoal]

okay

[inland storm]

nope

[fair shoal]

any suggestions?

[nocturne junco]

interchange is solid in the back

[versed valley]

reserve

[fair shoal]

@kind inlett45 is doodoo

[nocturne junco]

that or reserve

[versed valley]

thats what i like

[fair shoal]

alright reserve scav run time

[versed valley]

its isnt

[fair shoal]

oh i heard it is

[versed valley]

its ps with tracer, still good

[kind inlet]

it has like 10 more flesh

[versed valley]

its basicly as effective as ps

[fair shoal]

scav reserve run lets go

why do i get so many fucking vpos

[kind inlet]

I don't know how I feel about tracers, I guess I'll see when I run it for a lilttle while

[versed valley]

at day it doesnt matter really, at night it does

[kind inlet]

IC

[dire rock]

only real benefit is a better idea of where your shots are going

[versed valley]

but it reveals your position

especially at night

[dire rock]

mhm

aka why i dont use M856A1 or M62 when sniping

[covert flare]

at this point i truly feel like i have to barder my green card. since its not going to be worth it at all to sell it for cash

[tidal escarp]

I don't know if this is a beginner question, but I need chainlets, can I get these from a specific scav case run?

[dire rock]

anywhere valuables can spawn you can find chainlets

[woeful spruce]

you cant really influence what the scav case is gonna give you but if you gon on a scav to the lockers on interchange or walk around the woods sunken village and the sniperscav bunker you should get them pretty quick

[rain wing]

😩

[fair shoal]

all i need to finish that is 3 iskras

[versed valley]

as i said on other channel i know that items have rarity and all scav cases give different number of items of each rarity
idk what rarity is chainlet tho, cant find spreadsheet i used

[rain wing]

nice

[tidal escarp]

Okey, then I'll focus on that and put some more moonshine in my scav case haha

[fair shoal]

cannot find any and i hate it

[woeful spruce]

most black wepon crates on interchange have a100% chance to spawn those, you can look them up on the mapgenie map

[rain wing]

this ok?

[dire rock]

ration crates on customs are your best bet for that

[rain wing]

gna run like customs or sumn

[versed valley]

hearing

[fair shoal]

thx for the tip

[versed valley]

take headphones with you

[dire rock]

trooper is a bit much for that but yeah itll work ig

[rain wing]

no headphones

where shd I buy em from?

[rain wing]

got it from a rogue

lol

or a dude

looting a rogue

just shot him in the back

[versed valley]

prapor sells gssh and skier m32

[rain wing]

which one better?

[versed valley]

gssh have arguably worst sound profile, m32 are not as bad but both increase hearing distance

[rain wing]

alr

[woeful spruce]

gssh is cheaper

[versed valley]

if you can withstand gssh then those are cheaper and dont have any sound glitches

[rain wing]

I have like 400k roubles atm

[tiny stag]

how do I put a sight on ak with level 1 traders?

[versed valley]

which ak?

[tiny stag]

74m

[rain wing]

also should I sell this armband?

28k to ragman 😳

[woeful spruce]

you need to buy a akademia bastion dustcover from skier and take of the dustcover and rear sight from your ak

[finite terrace]

what are good barters to save GP coins for

[covert flare]

isnt green card like 20mil?

[rain wing]

what level ru?

[finite terrace]

35

[woeful spruce]

then buy something like the walther mrs from skier and slap it on there

[versed valley]

then you can buy cobra sight with dovetail as well as cobra shade for extra ergo

[rain wing]

there's the uhh

thiccs

which is like

20 btc

20 gp?

I think

[woeful spruce]

labs card

[rain wing]

but you need thera ll4

oh yeah labs

and mk-16

if that's your style

[versed valley]

buy this:
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Axion_Kobra_EKP-8-02_reflex_sight_(Dovetail)#Tactical
and this:
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Axion_Kobra_sight_shade

[covert flare]

wtf can i do with this. isnt it like 20mil? what can i sell it for? like 2 THICC cases?

[rain wing]

what

green 20m?

the violet is like hella expensive

[covert flare]

i wanna sell it for cash

[tiny stag]

@versed valley thank you!

[covert flare]

but its kinda hard todo that

[remote kettle]

good luck with fee

[covert flare]

tthats why i said its kinda hard to sell it cuz fee

[remote kettle]

so just barter it

[versed valley]

sell on flea or barter

[covert flare]

selling it wont work. but idk what to barter it for

[rain wing]

🙏

[versed valley]

barter gives very minimal fea

[covert flare]

i know

but idk what is good to barder for

[remote kettle]

look what others barter it for obviously

[covert flare]

thicc cases

[rain wing]

then barter

for thicc cases

[covert flare]

well now its only red cards

[remote kettle]

note you cant get 2 thicc items cases for it

[covert flare]

well then 1 thicc but idk what else is good for

[remote kettle]

last wipe i sold a red for a thicc items and a thicc weapons

[rain wing]

wait so should I sell the evasion armband?

[covert flare]

just 1 thicc wont do it

[remote kettle]

but i think 1 thicc is worth

[remote kettle]

id say thats good

[covert flare]

yeah but i can already get one thicc from a quest like what?

[versed valley]

its not worth that much

[remote kettle]

it just looks cool, and i think its needed for kappa

[versed valley]

like 30k

[rain wing]

fair

[remote kettle]

why not 2

[gloomy bobcat]

yeah you will get 1 T H I C C item case and 1 T H I C C Weapons case

[covert flare]

from the guest?

[remote kettle]

yes 1 each from quests

[gloomy bobcat]

from quests

[steep flame]

1 of each thicc for a red is a good deal for the person getting red

[gloomy bobcat]

when you finish Private clinic you will get THICC Item case

[covert flare]

i could sell the green for for 1 thicc and one weapon case?

[gloomy bobcat]

and when you finish Perfect mediator you will get the THICC weapons case

[steep flame]

prob not

[gloomy bobcat]

it's up to u , what do you need , when i get blue i trade it for RR and marked room keys

so go for what do you need

[winter shoal]

is there any counter to flechette, apart from not getting shot?

[versed valley]

there is no counter to bullets lol

other than armor

[covert flare]

do you think its a good barder if i sell it for 1 thicc, 1 weapon case and a marked key for customs?

[winter shoal]

Flechette pens all armours though

[steep flame]

no it doesnt.....

[versed valley]

doesnt pen

[winter shoal]

doesn't it?

[gloomy bobcat]

check the fees first

[versed valley]

it just destroys armor

[covert flare]

amma do it now

[gloomy bobcat]

if the fees not high , do it , you won't lose so much

[steep flame]

literally no one would buy that

[gloomy bobcat]

it's like hit or miss , give it a try if the fee's not high

[covert flare]

dude im legit talking osblack he seems like he knows alot for having sherpa

[versed valley]

flechette can pen only class 3 reliably but destroys armor

[winter shoal]

I understood this to mean it goes through all types

[gloomy bobcat]

nah man , being a sherpa don't mean i know a lot

[covert flare]

no?

[gloomy bobcat]

there is a lot of players know more than me

[steep flame]

ive seen other sherpas way lower level and stuff than me. dont take my adive then and do what you want and waste ur money, not my issue

[versed valley]

its effectivness not pen chanse

[remote kettle]

shoot first

[steep flame]

like dont get me wrong soblack clearly does know a lot but a lot of sherpas also dont

[winter shoal]

ah fair, I just got chest shot by a guy wearing level 4 and he melted me

[versed valley]

its effective against all armor because it doestroys it

[covert flare]

i legit though sherpa was something like expert players can get

[steep flame]

all sherpa is, is people willing to help newer players who are experienced

[viscid spire]

More flachettes, faster

[covert flare]

ah well i wasnt aware of that

[gloomy bobcat]

just go for what do you want , or what do you need for your game improve , if you feel like you need the THICC go for it , if don't go for keys , just go for what do you want

this is all about you and your needed

[winter shoal]

Good point, yeah I figured it would be self explanatory but I wanted to see if there was some nuance about ballistics I wasn't understanding

[woeful spruce]

desync👍

[steep flame]

but dont ask for too much, compare to similar ones

[covert flare]

i see

well ill sitt here and think about it

[gloomy bobcat]

and always check the fee's , don't pay so much for it if you think your offer will not get sold

[covert flare]

aight

thx

[winter shoal]

To be fair they also help experienced players

worth doing regardless of skill level if you want someone to backseat things you could do better

[steep flame]

yeah they do but in general

[fair shoal]

anyoke know how long it takes the armored train to leave

roughly 7 minutes

righto

i can sit here for 5 or so minutes

sounds good

no nuts or bolts

but otherwise a good raid for me

[remote kettle]

it beeps again 1 minute before it leaves

[fair shoal]

sweet

i will still sit here until it leaves, my inv is full

[empty topaz]

guns up chief

i doubt you will be alone

[fair shoal]

i was alone

entirely

[empty topaz]

lucky man

[fair shoal]

i have departed

[empty topaz]

i usually have to fight for it

[fair shoal]

chugga chugga choo choo

[empty topaz]

unless you get naded

[covert flare]

well green card is up for offer

[empty topaz]

[empty topaz]

i take pride in dropping them

[fair shoal]

i found an evasion armband

[dire rock]

[glossy gale]

Traitor scavs are annoying as fuck

[fair shoal]

what is it

i despise scav traitors

[covert flare]

@steep flame mad?

[fair shoal]

[remote kettle]

lol

[remote kettle]

i do

[steep flame]

you did it less than what you said lmao

that one id do, you gave someone a bargin. what you said previously id never do

[remote kettle]

why not a thicc icase???

[rain wing]

this guy was pissed about not wanting to barter for just 1 thicc case

and wanted like 2 or sumn

[remote kettle]

he couldve easily got the dorms marked, the roubles and the thicc icase

[versed valley]

thicc wep case not nearly as good as thicc icase

[empty topaz]

I like em

It's like rip rounds but for m4s

So will do fuck all to armor

But aim legs or arms qnd pmc go night night

[remote kettle]

if you're going legmeta dont use an m4...

[fair shoal]

i am afraid

[versed valley]

they are dogshit, dont do legmeta with rifles

[fair shoal]

righto

[rain wing]

didn't m4s get cucked?

[empty topaz]

A little

[versed valley]

cucked?

[empty topaz]

I just use what i find

[fair shoal]

ive misplaced all me roubles

[empty topaz]

I don't go out of my way to buy a certain gun

[rain wing]

someone said the initial recoil is higher than before now

[empty topaz]

Unless for a quest

[remote kettle]

recoil on everything was increased.

[rain wing]

ohh

oh

[versed valley]

i know they nerfed recoil for everything

[fair shoal]

ah. found them

[versed valley]

and m4 camera recoil is just crazy

[fair shoal]

338 lapua magnum UCW rounds?

[remote kettle]

338 is really only worth using with fmj or ap

[fair shoal]

alright

[versed valley]

338 is expensive

gun is expensive and ammo is expensive as well

but it hits like a truck

[remote kettle]

fmj is 17$ a round, 47 pen with 122 damage lol

its stupid

[versed valley]

gun is expensive af

[fair shoal]

shit

okay im gonna name some ammo, lemme know what its like

[steep flame]

gun is awful to get cause of the task

[fair shoal]

if you wanna, no complaints if you dont wanna

762x54 R SNB gzh

[crimson wharf]

what is the best way to go for Chemical part 4?

[steep flame]

good

[remote kettle]

isnt it like 200k?

from jaeger

[fair shoal]

762 GZH ps?

[steep flame]

meh

[fair shoal]

762 TT lrn?

[steep flame]

still good but not as good

[steep flame]

wait what

[fair shoal]

what?

[remote kettle]

which 762

[fair shoal]

25

[steep flame]

awful

just any 762x25 is ew

[crimson wharf]

Who is the best to side with for Chemical part 4?

[remote kettle]

thats not 762x25 round

[bold kernel]

you watch your mouth cleggy

[fair shoal]

thats uhhh

39

[steep flame]

what...

[fair shoal]

the TT lrn was 25

[steep flame]

oh 762x39, alright for budget but

meh

[remote kettle]

ps is very solid early on

[fair shoal]

556x45 fmj?

[bold kernel]

you havent touched the 71 round drum mag ppsh with fmj or lrn

[versed valley]

depends on what case you want and where do you want rep

[steep flame]

no

[remote kettle]

not really

[versed valley]

skier is probably most popular because of helmet unlock and quite hard to get rep for him

[steep flame]

and im never gonna

[remote kettle]

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

just refer to that, gotta learn it at some point

[crimson wharf]

is the helmet even good?

[versed valley]

use pst not fmj

[fair shoal]

762x54 R LPS gzh

[versed valley]

nah but its something

[steep flame]

the worst round of that kind

[versed valley]

i chosed prapor for rep

[remote kettle]

refer to the link i sent, you need to learn it at some kind

[fair shoal]

righto

[crimson wharf]

so what would be the cases for each person, if we were to get specific?

[versed valley]

still pretty good

[fair shoal]

still gonna sell it

[steep flame]

in an svd yes, but its still the worst round of that kind

[versed valley]

check wiki doesnt remember

[fair shoal]

whats 9x21 PE like?

[versed valley]

yea those are worst round but still worth using as they pen class 4

[versed valley]

trash

for sr1mp only ps or bt are useful

[fair shoal]

366 tkm fmj are garbo if i remember correctly

[versed valley]

yea

366 use only ap-m

other ammos are not worth using

[fair shoal]

9x18 bzht?

[versed valley]

trash prob

[fair shoal]

sorry for all these questions im just working out whats worth keeping and selling

[steep flame]

9x18 you only use sp7 and leg meta

[versed valley]

dont really know pmm ammo that well but sp7 and pst/pmm ammo is best

sp7 for leg meta and pst/pmm for pen

[fair shoal]

woah didnt know 9mm went as big as 9x39

[steep flame]

pen is still nothing on 9x18, if youre not using sp7 then theres no point

[deft dew]

Is there a compilation of boss/follower voicelines so I can learn what they sound like and distinguish them from normal scavs?

[fair shoal]

ive got some 9x39 sp6

[versed valley]

it can pen helmet

[versed valley]

good ammo

[steep flame]

what a level 2 one

[versed valley]

but vss and as vel is kinda trash

[fair shoal]

iirc 545x39 prs is good

[steep flame]

no

[fair shoal]

oh okay

what about same cal bp and pp

[versed valley]

pbm has 28pen

not that bad

bp top tier

[steep flame]

ppbs>bs>7n40>bt>bp rest dont matter for 545x39

[versed valley]

pp if you are tolking about spp also top tier

[fair shoal]

nah just bp

[versed valley]

oh you talking about 545

[fair shoal]

545x39 PP

[versed valley]

though you talking about as val ammo

[steep flame]

no

[fair shoal]

and 545x39 bp

[steep flame]

bp is okay

[versed valley]

then pp ammo is ok for scavs same for bp

[fair shoal]

okay so i'll keep em

[steep flame]

@fair shoal

[fair shoal]

fair enough

[crimson wharf]

so i am looking at it, and i am gonna say that just going with skier is probably the best bet especially since you get another quest with him afterward

[fair shoal]

whats t46m like

[versed valley]

bs>7n40>ppbs>bt>bp

[amber oxide]

Looking to do the cult part 2 i ahve the customs marked key btw

[versed valley]

lps but has tracer

[fair shoal]

specifically 762x54

[versed valley]

so worth using

[fair shoal]

okay sweet

[steep flame]

i was going off pen power... and nah if you swap ppbs and 7n40 around id agree

[fair shoal]

R37.X?

[versed valley]

bs has better dmg and now with dmg drop off its better, 7n40 has quite big recoil reduction so thats also better

[steep flame]

nah

[steep flame]

yeah ik how the ammo works

[fair shoal]

545x39 7n40?

[versed valley]

top tier

[steep flame]

good

[fair shoal]

yummy

[steep flame]

but hard to get

[fair shoal]

9x19 PBP

[versed valley]

got quite a lot from drops

[fair shoal]

ive got 19 rounds of 7n40

[steep flame]

wait

[versed valley]

i think thats top tier

yea

top tier

[steep flame]

yeah drops, so still hard tog et a hold of

[versed valley]

you dont need much

[fair shoal]

9x19 luger cci?

[steep flame]

pbp and ap for 9x19 are the only good pen ones

[versed valley]

put it in first 4-5 round of magazine to reduce starting recoil by alot

[versed valley]

trash

[steep flame]

i dont mean this in a horrid way but what level are you and how many wipes

[violet furnace]

any1 got kicked out of game? not crashed, just closed

[fair shoal]

762x39 ps?

[versed valley]

good

[steep flame]

you asked that lmao, okay for budget/starter ammo

[fair shoal]

oh

dkg mb

[violet furnace]

45, but i dont do many quests, since i dont like some maps and doing sme thing. About 5 wipes or 6,

[fair shoal]

did i ask about 762x25 FMJ43?

[versed valley]

trash anyway

[steep flame]

not you lol

but thats decent still

[remote kettle]

@fair shoal like i said you should try to learn from this instead of asking about every single bullet https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics

[bold kernel]

should i use my 10 gpus for bitcoin or sell them

[violet furnace]

i mean my freinds r lower, my dad's friends have same/ higher lvl ( i share PC with dad )

[fair shoal]

im gonna have a read of that soon, i just wanna get through this so i can sleep

[versed valley]

look at effectiveness if it at least 5 at class its good enough

[violet furnace]

do u craft in hideout alot? or do u have gen on bc of air filtering unit?

[fair shoal]

762x51 bcp fmj?

[versed valley]

not useful

[bold kernel]

ye i craft most my stuff

[fair shoal]

last set of rounds

545x38 SP

[versed valley]

https://youtu.be/tJJY_TWnX5Q

this will help u a ton

[fair shoal]

alright ty

[violet furnace]

7.62x51 lower than m80 is bad. 7.62x 54 lower than PS is bad, 7.62x39 now BP/MAI Ap

[violet furnace]

then its worth

if u do water, moonshine, then a lot

i craft many thing + air filtering unit

[fair shoal]

i assume the 545x39 sp is not great>

[versed valley]

u can also watch pest ammo tier list https://youtu.be/HEhwHeIyI0k

[versed valley]

never used ash-12

i asume its caliber ash-12 uses

[fair shoal]

apparently its pen is poopoo according to the description

[violet furnace]

5.45x 39 lower than BT is bad, 5.56 lower than M856a1 is bad

[versed valley]

yea dogshit

[fair shoal]

alright cheers

[versed valley]

pp and bp are ok for scav killin and they are very very cheap

[fair shoal]

alright cheers for the help

[woeful spruce]

ash 12 uses 12.7x55

[fair shoal]

goodnight all

[delicate canyon]

https://eft.monster/

[versed valley]

yea just noticed

never heard of sp so asumed its ash-12 ammo

[delicate canyon]

This one shows pen and damage so you can quickly look thru it to see what ammo to keep and use

[bold kernel]

quick question

so i got a green card of tagilla a week ago and have been holding onto it and dont know how much they are since most of them are barter

[delicate canyon]

KEEP IT

its worth a lot

its the 2nd best keycard to barter with at the moment

[bold kernel]

oh really

well i kinda dont want it tbh

i never go labs

[delicate canyon]

whatever you do, do not sell it to therapist

[versed valley]

you can barter

[bold kernel]

ik

could i get a thicc weapons case for it

[delicate canyon]

a guy on my server sold blue keycard, green keycard, ultra medical and RB-ST to therapist so im on edge with keycards atm

[versed valley]

you can try to get something more like thicc items case and thicc wep case

i think thicc wep case is too little

[bold kernel]

really?

oh alr then

[delicate canyon]

You can ask for like 3 THICC weapons cases for it

even more

[bold kernel]

wtf is that much

what does green even unlock

[viscid spire]

What can I get for a customs marked room key?

[versed valley]

some gpu's if you need them

or just use it if you play customs

[delicate canyon]

a medical block on labs with LEDx spawns and multiple medical spawns

[bold kernel]

oh ok i see

[viscid spire]

I don't have Bitcoin farm but i guess i wil

[bold kernel]

and are labs cards unlimited uses

[delicate canyon]

yes

[versed valley]

yes

[delicate canyon]

except blue marked

[versed valley]

its key

not card

i am sure

[versed valley]

oh yea forgot about htat one

[bold kernel]

My mate has the white yellow one

[delicate canyon]
