[frail anvil]

No you cant

Ergo goes low af

[foggy egret]

^

[vagrant cargo]

u just gotta compensate for that

go buy fuckin SAI m4 then

[frail anvil]

Didnt need to buy it

I got it off of a guy I killed ystd

[merry swift]

Scavs can spawn with any of em

[vagrant cargo]

so you have the fucking mag ?

[frail anvil]

No

[vagrant cargo]

SAI m4 is the specific one with the drum mag

[frail anvil]

Well

I guess I gotta work till I have that trade

[vagrant cargo]

you have it in one level thats nothing

[foggy egret]

not very reliable at all tho lmfao

[frail anvil]

Gp coin collection time then

[foggy egret]

the only other reliable way is to just kill sanitar over and over but spawns are shit

[merry swift]

It isn't but if you don't wanna go labs that's the best option honestly

[foggy egret]

yea i guess

[merry swift]

Lighthouse spawns 3 of em IIRC

Sanitar is less reliable than scavs imo

[foggy egret]

honestly there really isnt anyt reliable way other than labs just different options 💀

[vagrant cargo]

Literally just go labs honestly

[foggy egret]

yea minus well

[merry swift]

Lighthouse spawns melowhateverit'scalled, L1 and oldobos

[foggy egret]

ive never seen obdolbos on lighthouse

just meldonin L1 and MULE

[merry swift]

You can get oldobos on woods frequently as well in usec camp/big camp near RUAF

Oh yea my bad I meant mule, I know lighthouse spawns 3 of em

[foggy egret]

obdolbos has become such a weird spawning stim

no like super specific spawns just randoms spawns around the place

[merry swift]

Woods is pretty okay

I found a bunch of em while doing shooter born

[drowsy oasis]

is it normal to get naded off of spawn on factory?

[merry swift]

Some spawns yea. Forklift is notorious for this

[vagrant cargo]

If I spawn glass hallway my first instinct is to get the fuck out

While some ppl go towards the forklift

[tough oyster]

anything here worth keeping?

[vagrant cargo]

Dragon lantac

[foggy egret]

^

[foggy egret]

the spawens in factory are very known for obvious reasons so yeah

[sharp spindle]

FACROY!

[tough oyster]

i just spent 2.5m kitting out the 64 guns i have

am poor now

[foggy egret]

why

[tough oyster]

now i never need to spend time kitting out guns

just put em on and go

[rain wing]

grab n go

how much do fully kitted guns even cost?

[drowsy oasis]

just got this from a knife run 😄

[white cairn]

depends on what kind of gun

and what quests u've completed and ur level

[bronze spoke]

any lavatory lvl 2 crafts worth doing?

[dusky geyser]

don't sell it to therapist :)

[white cairn]

100k-500k+

[bronze spoke]

I've been doing the 60 round 5.45 mag just to use cause I had extra kek tapes

[tough oyster]

i had all my bags and vest full of weapon mods, so i just modded every gun i had using parts i wanted to use, and then sold off the extras

[foggy egret]

depenbds on the gun and if you want it full meta or not

[tough oyster]

TIL meta AK74s are very cheap

meanwhile meta m4s are expensive

[foggy egret]

meta ak74s arent that cheap

[rain wing]

do people even use m4s anymore?

i heard they got nerfed

initial recoil at least

[drowsy oasis]

i have an ak74n i got from a guy and it has pretty low recoil and it feels like it has no attachments on it

[tough oyster]

the suppressor is 100k so i dont run that

[drowsy oasis]

this

[tough oyster]

i run just below meta on almost all of my guns

[foggy egret]

pretty much meta

[rain wing]

this is meta no?

[drowsy oasis]

bruh thats so cheap

[rain wing]

they literally swapped out almost all the parts

lol

[foggy egret]

just missing the grip

[tough oyster]

i have the exact build except i have a grip

[drowsy oasis]

oh yeah it had this grip but i took it off for space

[tough oyster]

these are my guns 1/2

[foggy egret]

mf uses mp5s

[tough oyster]

2/2

[foggy egret]

yea its meta build

[drowsy oasis]

damn

[tough oyster]

these are the mp5s u get when u start the game lol

[foggy egret]

that many guns is mad unnecesary bruh

[tough oyster]

and i got 3 more from twitch drops

[tough oyster]

yup

[foggy egret]

when are you gonna use all of those unless you die a lot

[tough oyster]

i dont even buy guns tbh

[rain wing]

what the fuck

[foggy egret]

i usually just sell guns and build whatever i feel like using

[tough oyster]

if i kill somone and they have above 95 dur i keep it

[foggy egret]

imo just keep guns that are built meta or about and sell everything else

just build the gun you wanna use or use one you have

[rain wing]

will I get tagged and cursed if I only have a double barrelled?

[foggy egret]

i dont think so

[tough oyster]

should i sell my 3 mil batteries? they keep dropping in price

[foggy egret]

it goes for hatchet running or pistols

[rain wing]

works for me

[foggy egret]

yea lol when will you use them

[tough oyster]

lol i wanna use all of them

[foggy egret]

good luck

youll use all of those only if you die a shit on

[tough oyster]

they dropped in price on the weekend so i kept them thinking it will go up over the week

but na they kept dropping

[foggy egret]

they are useless unless someone wants black card lol

no reason for them to rise

[tough oyster]

rip

[versed valley]

what ammo/gun?

[versed valley]

there is more in stock

[tough oyster]

lol i dont even have money to pay for flea fees

[tough oyster]

why would someone trade mil batteries for a black card

wait nvm

[foggy egret]

your talking tank batteries right?

[tough oyster]

ya, i see its a barter

[foggy egret]

they are dropping more too cause theres more black cards in stock at once now and you need more for black

[tough oyster]

guess ill just sell them, and by one back later when i build btc 3

[violet furnace]

these mp7 makes me 💦

[violet furnace]

keep guns for next 5-6 raid top. If u need it, then u can build it. U can leave meta mods, scopes but its not point to leave all guns

[foggy egret]

yea i just keep meta guns lol no point in modding 60 guns just to leave raids with more lol

shits just gonna take up an uneccesary amount of space

[violet furnace]

i keep all mp7 since most of them are not fir. p90 same, but only golden ones since these r for gp coins. i try not keeping to many guns, but my dad leaves a lot

i mean if u have weapon cases, then why not

[foggy egret]

fill them with meta guns and good attachments

i find mp7s just being a nuisance in my stash

take up no space but never get used so i sell them

[violet furnace]

i eman meta guns, not just some random

i use mp7, good weapon when i go dorms and they take up 1x3 space which is very good

[foggy egret]

i honestly see that gun only being a dorms gun

i never use it anywhere else

[violet furnace]

domrs, maybe resort. I nearly always have dorms key in stash, so i go there often. i use 7.62 ak's and 5.56 mdr, maybe 7.62 mdr if i find one, its to much moeny

[wispy stratus]

HI Doods and doodettes. is hatchling moonshine worth keeping?

[violet furnace]

but it depends on what my friend r going. if they tak smg, i will take AR, even when we go dorm

[violet furnace]

yes

[wispy stratus]

gramps has gotsta know

[violet furnace]

u can sell it on flea for 300k

if u dont have lvl 15 yet

[wispy stratus]

im at 13

i also have a keycard wallet thingy

[sharp spindle]

LETS GOOO!

[tough oyster]

are rogues on turrets glitched?

[sharp spindle]

the keycard holder?

[tough oyster]

i shoot them 3 times in the head

[violet furnace]

moonshne is about 300k. keycard holder is like 600k? or smth like that

[tough oyster]

they dont die

[sharp spindle]

Their hitboxes are always a hit or miss

[wispy stratus]

thanks dawg !

[violet furnace]

sure u didnt miss?

[sharp spindle]

Try zeroing your gun

[violet furnace]

let me check for keycard holder

[tough oyster]

they got up and moved

[wispy stratus]

thanks man

[sharp spindle]

Then you hit him

[wispy stratus]

where we go?

[violet furnace]

and, what ammo and distance>

[sharp spindle]

Pretty sure if they're tagged they get up and run

[tough oyster]

100m, m80

[violet furnace]

oh, they could surive one headshot, depends on helmet

[sharp spindle]

Try using tracer and see if you can lead your shots any better

[tough oyster]

4th time i hit him now and he got up and left againt

[sharp spindle]

If you don't have m62 unlocked use t46m in a mosin

[violet furnace]

its 320k. I would leave it, since u can store labs acces keycards in there, that r important in some quests, and u can just keep that keycard holder in ur docs

[wispy stratus]

ok thanks for advioce

[sharp spindle]

OPIOIDS!

[wispy stratus]

are fun?

[sharp spindle]

most of the time

depends on what scav boss you get them from

[wispy stratus]

i been there . started with 5mg percs

[violet furnace]

use m62 when going for rouges, u can see if u missed, and are a bit more acurate

[wispy stratus]

has the flea changed alot since pre 12.12?

[sharp spindle]

yes

You can't buy and high pen ammo anymore

Or high tier armor

[violet furnace]

u cant sell meta ammo, some guns, armors and helmets

[sharp spindle]

And guns

[violet furnace]

u cant sell impact nades

[sharp spindle]

thank god

[wispy stratus]

agreed. no guns?

[sharp spindle]

some high tier guns like the mk47 or .338 can't be sold

[violet furnace]

i think its very good, since wipe is slower. after 2 months since wipe, i dont have 50 mil but 17 mil, so it slows down wipe progresion

[wispy stratus]

ok good. that evens it up a little. when you play against a level 40 or whatever, one has no chanbce

[sharp spindle]

Yeah I'm just happy that gpu inflation is down again

[violet furnace]

yea

[wispy stratus]

i heard nikita wants somne kind of permna dreath

[violet furnace]

i think they boosted gpu spawns, so it is a bit cheaper

[wispy stratus]

is it? still seems hard to get a 3070

[sharp spindle]

I made 150mil off GPUs last wipe

Since bitcoins aren't as valueable anymore

[violet furnace]

DAYM

[wispy stratus]

150 ?? elon musk

[sharp spindle]

Lol I wasn't even the richest player

[wispy stratus]

when u have 150. u can go out with great gear and not feel bad to lose it

[violet furnace]

now u need solars ( idk if that was needed last wipe ) for btc 3, so it cost u about 20 mil for solars and another 13 mil on gpus, so u spend about 30+ mil just to get btc from 20 to 13h

[sharp spindle]

Bitcoins are starting to go up again so GPUs might inflate again

[wispy stratus]

i feel so hatchling like. level 13

[sharp spindle]

I hope they don't lmfao, that will totally ruin the flea

[foggy egret]

doubt they will

[sharp spindle]

Bitcoins were 230k last week now they're 300k

[foggy egret]

it still follows the real bitcoin price just at a lot lower of a rate

i mean at the beginning of the wipe they were like 340k

[wispy stratus]

any opinions on perma death

[foggy egret]

havent seen them above 400k since they changed it

[sharp spindle]

I remember when they were like 800k per

A wipe or two ago

[foggy egret]

yea 2 wipes ago

[sharp spindle]

Shit was insane

[wispy stratus]

ok lads. Thanks again. i gotta unlock jasper

[sharp spindle]

JASPER!

[wispy stratus]

jaeger i mean lol

what keys are good for woods?

[sharp spindle]

Woods has like 2 keys

[wispy stratus]

how do you know so much?

[sharp spindle]

Zb-014 and shturman stash key

[foggy egret]

JASPER LOL

[sharp spindle]

This is like my 8-9th wipe

[wispy stratus]

dont laugh at a newby grnap

[sharp spindle]

I've lost track lol

[wispy stratus]

not nored yet?

bored

[sharp spindle]

Nah, tarkov is life

[foggy egret]

never heard someone call him jasper lmfaoo not ur fault

games fun for sure but its at a point rn where its getting boring

in like a month or two it will get more enjoyable, a lot more pvp and shit

[sharp spindle]

All the new quests and armbands they added has got me playing

I'm trynna get calibration and train hard lol

[wispy stratus]

what is task ?

[sharp spindle]

I already have sniper level 6 I just need to turn in the 25k euros

[sharp spindle]

They're armband tasks for Jaeger and mechanic

You won't unlock them for a while so don't worry about it

[wispy stratus]

im so early in my career yes

[foggy egret]

i already got them done

games just not fun too many rats and shit

labs is either cheaters or dead

[sharp spindle]

Yeah ik lol, I've played tarkov for so long tho I just can't stop playing

Last wipe I got totally burned out

[foggy egret]

and if there are players they are probably sitting in a room or something

[sharp spindle]

People camp way too much

[foggy egret]

yea i feel that, i literally dont play anything else, tarkov is the only game i find any enjoyment in

[sharp spindle]

Same case here, I play valorant and tarkov

Literally nothing else

[serene reef]

try league

but treat it differently

[sharp spindle]

And if I do play something else, it's with friends

[serene reef]

never bother properly learning the game

etc

[sharp spindle]

nope

never

[foggy egret]

league

[serene reef]

dont care if you perform or not

[foggy egret]

thats like asking me to play roblox

[serene reef]

league was just an example

you can play anything

[foggy egret]

honestly roblox is better

[serene reef]

as long as its far away you dont feel compiled to play well

[sharp spindle]

LMFAO

[rain wing]

double barrel

magnum buck

[serene reef]

or the imo better one

db and express

for the accuracy buff

[rain wing]

wait

express?

huh

I always kinda assumed it was pretty ass

[vagrant cargo]

doesnt that not one shot to face now

[dire eagle]

Express does 35 per pellet, so once damage drop off kicks in, it wouldn't, assuming you only hit 1 pellet

[vagrant cargo]

magnum is sniper now

[dire eagle]

magnum slaps

[rain wing]

so

magnum

or

express

magnum?

[solar salmon]

can someone tell me why these aren't compatible

oh wait, i think it's because the magazine would get in the way

[sharp spindle]

That grip cant go on ak series

[rain wing]

this should work for that one quest right?

or should I just run some lighter ammo

I mean like

7.5

or sumnn

[sharp spindle]

It's only in on ar platform

[dire eagle]

I prefer magnum for the raw damage, but if you prefer more accuracy and less recoil, then express is the way to go. (magnum adds quite a bit of recoil) - but if you're using db, then the recoil doesn't matter much. The accuracy difference is 30, which can be felt at decent ranges, though you don't want to snipe with buck generally anyway

[rain wing]

true

so I'll just run magnum ig

hopefully fuck someone up with it

grab their shit

and make some sort of profit

cause for some reason

everytime I spawn near forklift

I run to forklift

and there are just 2 dudes

in the room

[dire eagle]

Factory in a nutshell

[rain wing]

fr

[vagrant cargo]

raiders r so worth killing actually wtf

[rain wing]

also how bad is 7.5?

I've heard some people say it's pretty dogshit

[vagrant cargo]

yeah but no more one shot

[dire eagle]

7.5mm is the KS iirc? Or did you mean 7mm?

[vagrant cargo]

ks is a 23x75mm

shoots shrap 10 shrap 25 barrikada and zvedada

by the way

[sharp spindle]

Barrikada is the most inaccurate bullet in the game

[vagrant cargo]

im mad about no zvedada for usex

[vagrant cargo]

its decently fun but when shrap 10 exists why use anything else

[sharp spindle]

I fought tagilla with that and I literally hit squirrels in a forest 3 continents away

[vagrant cargo]

shrap 10 does like 1551351 billion damage

[rain wing]

whatever the default rounds are

for the 12ga

[vagrant cargo]

7mm buckshot

[limber notch]

Whats a good gun to run pre flea? Ive been running whatever I have but they are sub par to say the least

[vagrant cargo]

its eh

[rain wing]

p sure it's 7.5

oh

7mm

[vagrant cargo]

BASICALLY vpo 136

ump if u can get it

[limber notch]

that is the .366 rifle?

[rain wing]

yes

[dire eagle]

7mm has 4 damage more than express, but doesn't get the accuracy buff. Thats basically the only difference

[vagrant cargo]

no the 762 one

[rain wing]

ah

[limber notch]

dont think I can get either yet

oh thats the single fire ak then

[vagrant cargo]

you can

skier

yes

[limber notch]

ah ok tnx

[vagrant cargo]

.366 is only worth using with APM

[rain wing]

oh right the 366 one is the other one

[vagrant cargo]

209

[rain wing]

yeah

I get mixed up

[vagrant cargo]

VPOs 209 and 215 are good but only with APM

[limber notch]

alr Ill use that, also ump is a good gun you said?

[vagrant cargo]

yeah its really good has very little recoil and high damage ammo

[limber notch]

alr tnx

fmj is good enough for now then right?

[vagrant cargo]

its what u can get

it works unless ur doing like actual dangerous pvp in hotspots

[limber notch]

I think I can get it or i will soon

my fights are not crazy so far, I either die instantly or I manage to hit a couple shots somehow

mostly I die instantly

[cobalt sluice]

anyone mind helping me do pk quests and getting pk leve l3

[inland marlin]

try to avoid fighting if possible and focus on killing scavs and leveling. sometimes you cant avoid a fight. but if you get into one trying to get away is a good idea

unless you have the advantage

if you are being engaged first you do not have the advantage

[cobalt sluice]

Can someone help doing peackeeper quests im really struggling to do so

[sharp spindle]

Nighttime shoreline

That's your friend

[smoky moth]

me when i realize peacekeeper sells the high tier ammo

[sharp spindle]

I DIED FROM OVERDOSE AND ADDICTION NOT AN EXTRACT CAMPER!

[smoky moth]

you need this

[cobalt sluice]

Im trying day AND night and none go to plan

[sharp spindle]

Grass 🤤

Time to feast

[cobalt sluice]

Shoreline never goes to plan

like sanitar

campers

[rugged carbon]

lol dude it took me like 10 raids to do PK's Shoreline quests

I kept running into Sanitar

He's no joke

Well, he is, but his guards aren't.

[pure mist]

I never have a plan

[rugged carbon]

Can't lose if you never had anything to lose

[pure mist]

After so many raids idc about gear lol

[halcyon forum]

I get good gear, go into a pmc and die

[cobalt sluice]

So uuuh does someone mind helping me

[halcyon forum]

I have just started selling some of the good kits I get

I got a meta mutant and sold it

[rugged carbon]

Better off asking in #pvp-lfg or Sherpa DC

[pure mist]

I don’t keep guns either

[finite terrace]

okay so why tf did my impact nade not explode for 3 seconds after it hit the ground

[halcyon forum]

I usually don't sell armor as it typically doesn't sell for much

[vagrant cargo]

arming distance ?

[reef spoke]

Irl there is a small delay for the impact fuse to start , if it doesn't arm before it hits something it's got a standard pyro fuse that goes off after 4 seconds

Idk if BSG put that in or not

[vagrant cargo]

i think they did !

I THINK

NOT SURE

[dire eagle]

If the nade doesn't hit the ground, then it takes 3.5 seconds for it to blow. It must've somehow thought it didn't hit the ground, or as the others said, there might be a minimum arm

[reef spoke]

Nades have had weird issues before so try to recreate the event if possible and if you can repeat the delay then it's either a repeatable bug to be fixed or it's a feature

[finite terrace]

idk a guy rushed me i threw it to the ground and it hit the floor next to him and it just wouldn't explode

even after i died i still didn't hear the explosion

[dire eagle]

Did you die mid throw?

[fallow knot]

Will we ever have a higher ping limit like before? I used to play in foreign regional servers during earlier days.

[finite terrace]

no

[dire eagle]

I believe the idea of a worldwide server has been discussed - I know Pestily has pushed for it. Dunno if/when it would happen though

[vagrant cargo]

whY !

[fallow knot]

Because Asian servers are full of hackers?

[dire eagle]

Err idk then - I asked since I'm pretty sure the nade isn't registered at all if you die mid throw (at least it has happened to me before). You could try to recreate it in offline mode - but chances are that you just got tarkoved

[cobalt sluice]

Just wanna ask

[smoky moth]

idk it looks all normal to me

just a few

[cobalt sluice]

Good scav loot?

interchange

I dont know if its that good

[rugged carbon]

Decent

[cobalt sluice]

Im happy with that answer

[rugged carbon]

Tetriz, gphone, sugar and mcable are good

[dire eagle]

Yeah thats solid cash to bring out from a scav run. Tbh anything to top up your cashflow is good for a scav run

[rugged carbon]

Fcond is for a quest, psu is for hideout, dcleaner is never worth grabbing imo

[cobalt sluice]

Oh yeah also

[fallow knot]

Also most of my friends are from the EU.

[cobalt sluice]

Should i get the booze thing

though idk how expensive it is

idk if i should

[dire eagle]

Moonshine?

[cobalt sluice]

Where can i find

[dire eagle]

filing cabinets are pretty good for those
OR you can craft them in workbench 1, though you need a broken gphone X

[split dagger]

Tech crates

[rugged carbon]

anywhere you can find tech, basically.

[shrewd scroll]

labs they spawn everywhere

[cobalt sluice]

Wait what

[rugged carbon]

He's level 24, he's not going into labs. xd

[shrewd scroll]

whats the problem with level 24?

[cobalt sluice]

What?

Why can i not hand it in

[rugged carbon]

you have a gphone x

[shrewd scroll]

its not broken

[cobalt sluice]

I was already there 3 times

[rugged carbon]

yes it is, but it's the wrong model

[cobalt sluice]

"broken gphone X

Ahh

[dire eagle]

Thats the X - just like the iphone variants... its TOTALLY different /s

[shrewd scroll]

its not broken

[rugged carbon]

It literally says "broken"

are you blind

[shrewd scroll]

no, who tf calls it a broken phone thats what u call the other one

[cobalt sluice]

what do i do with it

[unkempt yoke]

sell

[cobalt sluice]

alr

[dire eagle]

Btw you can use that to craft the correct gphone in your workbench, the X version isnt used for any quests (just other crafts/barters)

[cobalt sluice]

Wait so i can craft the one i need using that one?

[dire eagle]

yes

[cobalt sluice]

HELL YEAH

im on it

what is after signal pt2?

[dawn geyser]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Signal_-_Part_2

[dire eagle]

signal 3 and scout. I would suggest using the wiki for these kinds of things, its extremely useful^

[dawn geyser]

Look on the right side

[low olive]

I think u gotta Mark stuff like tankers and stuffs

[split dagger]

Signal part 3

[wispy marten]

and Scout, free gpu

[low olive]

Wait scout gives a free gpu? I didn’t even realize

[cobalt sluice]

how much is a single labs card?

[dire eagle]

63k to therapist

[dull tapir]

166k

[wispy marten]

It changed last wipe from bitcoin to gpu

[dire eagle]

^that much to buy

[dawn geyser]

https://tarkov-market.com/

You're level 24! It's time to use those tools available to you

Spoon feeding is only allowed for the timbos under 15 =p

[cobalt sluice]

Fuck you santa

[low olive]

Gotchuuu

[cobalt sluice]

Lmao

alr

[rugged carbon]

Mapgenie, eft wiki and eft monster is your friends

[low olive]

Lmaooo

[cobalt sluice]

what is eft monster? i know the first 2

[rugged carbon]

https://eft.monster/ https://mapgenie.io/tarkov

[split dagger]

I wish the game told me what scav karma is

[lyric relic]

Do anyone have some real good POST FX settings and is it different from every map

[split dagger]

And not let me massacre all the scavs on customs

[rain wing]

😩

[split dagger]

Disable postfx and use nvidia control panel

[rugged carbon]

eft monster is great for getting an overview on details, but the wiki will have all the specific details

[dawn geyser]

There's optimal postFX settings for Night vision, visual in dark areas, visual in day areas, etc

[smoky moth]

so close

[dawn geyser]

Then ask xD

Flea close!

[smoky moth]

you'll suddenly realize how easy it is to get a full tier gear with flea

[rugged carbon]

except you can't sell most of it on flea anymore

[lyric relic]

Any screenshots maybe for your preference?

[rain wing]

I don't think I have the balls to run better stuff yet

[shrewd scroll]

if anyone has labs cards that they do not want dm me 😄

[split dagger]

70% vibrance and 1.1 gamma

[lyric relic]

Thx any suggestions

[split dagger]

But gamma depends on your monitor

Mine is pretty dark but I don't mind it

[lyric relic]

I get u and understand is just sometimes I'm struggling to see scavs and players witch is annoying

[dawn geyser]

For which one? Different settings for each of those

[split dagger]

I had the same problem when using postfx

[smoky moth]

i got to the point where i dont have to worry about losing money anymore

[cobalt sluice]

Interchange is underrated Yes or No?:

[split dagger]

It will brighten up dark areas but if there are shadows I dont see shit

[rain wing]

I'm about like 30k xp from level 15

[vagrant cargo]

i have a decently steady cash flow

[lyric relic]

I would say dark areas and to see players and scavs more easy

[split dagger]

Just watch streamers

[dawn geyser]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVt7NU6YjN4&ab_channel=2Lew

[split dagger]

But keep in mind postfx will take you fps

[smoky moth]

find these in pc blocks and toolboxes

[lyric relic]

@dawn geyser @split dagger Thank you guys I aprechiate

[smoky moth]

interchange would be best bet for you

[rain wing]

scav or pmc run?

[violet furnace]

was AVS ( not tagila one, normal one ) combined matirials all the time? i remember it being ceramic

[split dagger]

Pmc

Interchange is pretty dead

[smoky moth]

scav and pmc

[rain wing]

yeah I should really learn ic

[dawn geyser]

[rain wing]

the last time I scavved there I jumped down the escalator by accident

you can probably guess how that turned out

[dawn geyser]

Landed without your entire body collapsing and your scav collapsing his lungs

[rugged carbon]

That guy uses chillwave waaaayy too intensely imo

[dawn geyser]

Yeah a bit high

[rugged carbon]

https://i.imgur.com/qntcpzy.png

this is what I use

[dawn geyser]

I think I used to use 18

or 25

I don't quite remember

Now i only use PostFX for NODs

[rain wing]

so what do I actually need to know about the ic map

just the good spots and the extracts?

also what the fuck do I do if I run into killa

the only boss I've accidentally ran into was like

tagilla

and he wouldn't die

[split dagger]

If you run into killa your dead

[dawn geyser]

Just learn the high traffic areas, the tech areas, and if you run into Killa with bad ammo, shoot him in the legs.

[split dagger]

Accept your fate

[dawn geyser]

lol Nsy.

[sharp spindle]

Pretty sure kedr with sp7 can kill killa

Thats if you even run into him

Mfa's always hiding

[split dagger]

If you hear someone shooting rpk from across the hallway and someone pushing you

It's probably killa

But he is rare so

[dawn geyser]

He beamed me at the go-karts going towards Railway, I never even knew he could be out there

Just SUPPRESSION INTENSIFIES the entire time

[sharp spindle]

14 consecutive bullets can kill killa

[magic niche]

Can anyone help with this one? :c

[vagrant cargo]

go lABS

[dawn geyser]

Go labs you chad!

[magic niche]

xD

[rain wing]

so is ic generally quite simple to learn or am I wrong

[magic niche]

its my first wipe and i never visited labs, ill be losst af

[vagrant cargo]

people have been telling him to go labs for like 7 fucking hours

[dawn geyser]

I'm actually looking for Meldonin as well

[magic niche]

[vagrant cargo]

[cloud elbow]

Early Test server

[vagrant cargo]

oh

[smoky moth]

@rain wing i can explore interchange with you

[rain wing]

like

rn?

I'm free

[smoky moth]

ye

[rain wing]

sure

pmc or scav?

[smoky moth]

75% of the time im always outside the mall

[smoky moth]

you decide

[magic niche]

explore labs with me

for stims

xd

[rain wing]

I'm fine with either honestly

[smoky moth]

rush blue marked keycard room ez

[magic niche]

xD

[smoky moth]

you got any interchange specific quests?

[rain wing]

not at the moment

[smoky moth]

what quests you got that is just walk to point A, point B then extract

the items can be found anywhere, just more common on interchange

[smoky moth]

golden swag and bad rep evidence on customs first

then we do reserve

[rain wing]

sure

in one raid?

[smoky moth]

depending on situation

i think we might as well do it in one raid

both of them have to be found and placed in the same place anyway

[wide sedge]

I still need a damn spark plug for generator lvl1

[bold kernel]

i've been trying to find screws and bolts but haven't had any luck, what should i do to find some?

[rain wing]

aight

[bold kernel]

i just need 2 bolts and 2 screws

[rain wing]

shd I run a vpo 209 or a 215

[wide sedge]

Ive just been looting stashes in interchange, the occasional toolbox inside with a scav

[smoky moth]

both are single fire?

[rain wing]

215 is the bolty

[bold kernel]

ok, is customs good too? I struggle on interchange

[vagrant cargo]

both are super cool

[smoky moth]

i'll bring you a full auto

[cobalt sluice]

Hows the scav?

[smoky moth]

maybe ump

[bold kernel]

maybe i will try and play interchange but last time i did i couldn't extract cause i forgot that exit had requirements

[wide sedge]

Idk, i like interchange cuz all the stashes are around the edges

[rain wing]

aight

[cobalt sluice]

Interchange is very good for High Tier loot

[rain wing]

so no need to bring a weapon?

[wide sedge]

I just head for eiyher railway or emercom

[cobalt sluice]

2 slicks and 3 gpus found there so far

4 gpus now

[wide sedge]

And loot the stashes on the way

[smoky moth]

ye

[wide sedge]

Yiu can get 5 ir so stashes in one go

[rain wing]

also do you have the key?

or should I bring it myself

[smoky moth]

what key do you have

we need a bunkhouse, 303 and a trailer park portable cabin key

[rain wing]

let me check

only got trailerpark

[rough halo]

Nice

[cobalt sluice]

I call this

Money cream

Its not alot

[rain wing]

and we could also do op aquarius pt2 at the same time ig

[cobalt sluice]

But damn is it sexy

[smoky moth]

check the name, there's 2 cabin keys

[rain wing]

probably won't finish

[smoky moth]

yea

you kill the scavs

[smoky moth]

alright good

i'll bring both other keys

[cobalt sluice]

what do wiz zis

[rough halo]

Can you buy the helmet itself?

[vagrant cargo]

he can find it prolly ?

i saw it on a reshala guard once i think

not sure

[rain wing]

aight

[magic niche]

Hey, is there anyone who could guide me though labs? i just wanna finish the "samples" quest..

[cobalt sluice]

no

[vagrant cargo]

NEVERMIND the reshala guard has altyn not maska

[rough halo]

You should have flea, right click and link search the fshield

You should find the helmet there, probably

[rough halo]

Yeah I was boutta say

[heady river]

Sadge just killed a Sherpa on customs

[vagrant cargo]

i forgor okay

[rough halo]

[vagrant cargo]

without the mask i cant really tell em apart

at first glance

[heady river]

he shot my fren with 50bmg

:C

[rough halo]

Damn

[vagrant cargo]

ammo limits r a bit too low on some i feel

[rough halo]

Damn thought someone would be selling it, ig not

You got 2 options, either sell it for some bucks

Or wait until you find the helmet (could be a bit)

[vagrant cargo]

me when idk what im doing

[vagrant cargo]

Is it not banned

[rough halo]

Your PMC has the look of “wtf why are we going reserve”

[vagrant cargo]

Yeah this lil cunt doesn’t get that I’m tired of lighthouse

[rough halo]

The only ban restrictions I remember is labs and that’s it, so maybe

[vagrant cargo]

Man you got a lot to catch up on then lol

[cobalt sluice]

what helm is it for

[vagrant cargo]

Maska

[cobalt sluice]

oh

alr

[vagrant cargo]

You can’t buy it on flea

[cobalt sluice]

Killa mask right?

[rough halo]

I remember distinctly because I wanted to sell my cards so instead I had to go there myself as a rat and shove stuff up my gamma

[vagrant cargo]

Yeah

[cobalt sluice]

I have a theory

That might be risky

[rough halo]

Yeah

[cobalt sluice]

But what if its true

[merry swift]

ragman sells it

I think it's a barter

[vagrant cargo]

Sound in this game is so terrible

[rough halo]

What trader level?

[merry swift]

I think 3 but don't quote me on that

[vagrant cargo]

Dude sounded like miles of where he actually was

[rough halo]

Just max perception and get 3000$ headphones

[whole thistle]

Maska-1Shch bulletproof helmet (Maska-1Shch) is a Headwear item in Escape from Tarkov.

[merry swift]

It's a horrible helmet anyways

[vagrant cargo]

So I die thanks to this bullshit

[merry swift]

Don't bother with it

[whole thistle]

Ratman 3 for some gp coins

[vagrant cargo]

Even with max perception it’s still fucking terrible

[merry swift]

It's like wearing a blindfold and earplugs

Great for when you suffer from fear of players tho cause you will 100% not hear or see them

[split dagger]

Vertical audio is shit

[bold kernel]

[whole thistle]

Lmao

[split dagger]

Sometimes it works

[rough halo]

@cobalt sluice don’t even buy it, the only one you should get is the killa version so you can do a little bit of cosplay and trolling

[cobalt sluice]

ill sell it for moneys cause why not

[rough halo]

But if you react and you look at them and spot them

rain hell on the ones who have tried tormenting you

[cobalt sluice]

35k richer

[vagrant cargo]

Im angry

[vagrant cargo]

Should’ve kept it

[rough halo]

What happened

[vagrant cargo]

Not the best but still lvl 6 face

[vagrant cargo]

I died because dude sounded like he wasn’t were he was

[rough halo]

Helmet is meh
Fshield is great

[rough halo]

Damn, what audio settings you play on?

[vagrant cargo]

Wdym

I have binaural on

Yknow

[smoky moth]

tarkov audio trolling

[vagrant cargo]

Yeah but it happens way too much

I peek a dude that literally is under me

Because he sounded not under me

And the opposite happens

and gets me killed

[frosty veldt]

Tips for shoreline

[rough halo]

Then follow the way of the rat and don’t get in fights

[vagrant cargo]

I feel like I don’t make good money

[frosty veldt]

feel like i die on this map more than any others expect reserve

[rough halo]

Tip 1: don’t go shoreline

[vagrant cargo]

Yeah nah I don’t wanna

Avoiding ppl annoys me

[fading shoal]

yo I'm playin on an older version of tarkov cause I don't wanna pay for it yet and wanna learn a bit of the game I'm tryin got learn the maps and different guns and good items and such anyone wanna hop in a vc and help me out?

[vagrant cargo]

literally admitting to pirating 💀

[fading shoal]

is it?

[spark onyx]

any one got tnt brick i can b uy

buy

[fading shoal]

wasn't tryina get the game an illegitimate way

[rough halo]

Yep

[fading shoal]

just had a friend show me how to get an older version

welp ig now we just wait around for the ban

[rough halo]

Nah nah fam you just remove the game from your pc and do like everyone else, read videos and guides and more

Then buy the game and love it at first

But then start spiraling into the anger, the pain but a mysterious entity doesn’t let you leave

You wanna stop playing this shitty game but you can’t, eventually you have to cry yourself to sleep

And then you get 1 good raid and all the pain was worth it
then you go down the rabbit hole again

[merry swift]

I mean you have no real way of of knowing where they are with that helmet om

I used to clap killa runners all the time because they simply dont know where you are unless directly in front

[rough halo]

True

[split dagger]

Learn spawns

Its very important to know where people are on shoreline because its open field

[cobalt sluice]

Being friendly in tarkov is hard ;|

[rough halo]

Last wipe I had like 3 kits of rpk, killa gear, nades and meds

[rough halo]

Yes

[cobalt sluice]

Dropped this PMC my gold chain and shit

[merry swift]

Yea killa farming was legit

[solar salmon]

first mistake was expecting a PMC not to kill a scav

[merry swift]

It's super dead now with the huge spawn range

I killed him once this entire wipe

[cobalt sluice]

I had no chance anyway, but if someones friendly and you say "im friendly" then shoot them in the face then thats just a scumbag move

[split dagger]

Pmcs are pretty chill on maps like reserve

[bold kernel]

PestilyTV on youtube, RAID season 5 🙂

[rough halo]

I didn’t farm him, I just bought the shit in flea and loved just having his kit

[merry swift]

Oh okay

[cobalt sluice]

most of the time on factory too especially with VOIP

[split dagger]

But there are still scumbags

[vagrant cargo]

HELL NO

[merry swift]

His armor is really good

[vagrant cargo]

factory has the worst CUNTS

[cobalt sluice]

Especially if they are geared to the teeth

[merry swift]

Best T5 in the game IMO

[vagrant cargo]

u cant buy shit on flea now yknow that right ?

[cobalt sluice]

Geared to the teeth = friendly to most people

[rough halo]

Talking about last wipe

[cobalt sluice]

Literally i shot at about 5 geared dudes because i got scared

and they helped me extract

[vagrant cargo]

yeah yeah but im still warning u

[merry swift]

RPK is also super underrated early wipe because it's much cheaper to get good stats on than an AK with the same caliber

[vagrant cargo]

never

[cobalt sluice]

read

[merry swift]

The only thing I dislike is that it's got its own class of weapons so you don't train recoil stats for AR

[rough halo]

Wait actually? Damn never knew that

[split dagger]

Stacked dudes are usually rich so they don't care if they die

[rough halo]

Well I guess it’s fair, is it in an LMG category?

[split dagger]

But fuck being friendly with scavs

[merry swift]

Yup

Which contains only the RPK

[split dagger]

Scav has to lose nothing

[rough halo]

[merry swift]

I think they have more LMGs planned but battlestate and planned guns

[cobalt sluice]

True but if you say "friendly" and then shoot them in the face thats a scumbag move

[solar salmon]

it's so weird that it works that way, given that the only really distinguishing feature is that it comes with a 95-round drum mag by default

[split dagger]

Yea I just dont talk when I want pvp

Dont want to give false hope to others

[sharp spindle]

I had the same thing happen to me on factory lol, @raw junco

[deft dew]

what map was that betrayal

[cobalt sluice]

Interchange right next to extract too

i wiggled and he wiggled back

[merry swift]

Yea agreed, it's weird. It takes most of the AK mods anyways

[rough halo]

As a PMC yeah no fuck scavs, but as another scav if I get killed I just laugh because it’s their reputation

[cobalt sluice]

i dropped a bunch of gold chains and a morphine

[vagrant cargo]

heavy barrel doe !

[cobalt sluice]

i ran off to extract and got shot in the back of my head

[rough halo]

I mean it really is just an AK but midded somewhat different

[merry swift]

But the base gun is already pretty good stats and lightly modding an RPK is super cheap compared to the AKs that are often already more expensive

[deft dew]

the very first quest from Ragman is to kill scavs on Interchange, what he did wasn't nice but he probably had a good reason

[solar salmon]

you can just stick the drum mag in a 74M and enjoy the stat benefits of using an AR

[fickle niche]

should i play in native res??

[merry swift]

The drum mag isn't even good

[rough halo]

Shit bro an RPK with drum mag and modded to have low recoil is beast

[merry swift]

I run my RPKs with 60 rounders

[fickle niche]

hmm?

should i run native monitor res on eft

or can i choose what i want

[rough halo]

I say just run res

[vagrant cargo]

I’ve seen an increase in 4:3 stretched users

[fickle niche]

because

[rough halo]

Native sorry*

[fickle niche]

i like playing on 1920 x 1080 on my 2560 x 1440

[merry swift]

You could mod them to medium recoil for ~100k including the gun when killarunning was big. Not sure what an RPK goes for on flea nowadays tho

[robust robin]

4:3 is gross

[fickle niche]

should i stick with 2560 x 1440 p then

[rough halo]

Probably low, especially now the killa helmet and maybe armour is gone

[vagrant cargo]

40-50k

[rough halo]

Just run what’s best for you

[fickle niche]

say less

[vagrant cargo]

im budget af

[merry swift]

I mean its a supply/demand thing right. Demand for RPKs is always low but there used to be a ton of em because people ran killa a lot

If people dont run killa as much I imagine there are fewer RPKs on the market

[viscid prairie]

man being my first wipe factory seems like total chaos to me

[vagrant cargo]

Still 40k

[solar salmon]

why does ur PMC look he just ate a lemon whole

[viscid prairie]

i have so many quests there to

[merry swift]

That's pretty good tbh

[vagrant cargo]

Idk he’s built BAD

[merry swift]

40k for base RPK you can get a beast build for 100k

[solar salmon]

Kisame lookin headass

[merry swift]

That's because it is

Lmao

Factory is nuts

Most actionpacked map of em all

[fickle niche]

only good gun is toz and kedr

[rough halo]

Dude I hate tagilla’s AI this wipe, if you don’t have nades and he spawns and you want his death?

go into the blue corner of hell with a sledgehammer wielding maniac

[viscid prairie]

i mean i gotta go plant a folder and stuff and have lost it twice lol

i dont know where the hell im going. solo the whole time

[rough halo]

Go with a buddy to protect you, also when your planting it prone to reduce the chance of you being shot or spotted

[viscid prairie]

not many of my friends playing lol they either played before and hated it or stopped

[merry swift]

You can do night factory and just chill in spawn for 20 mins

[whole thistle]

Just join a random 5 man in the factory lfg in here

[frosty veldt]

Fucking hell

Head eyes

from nowhere im so confused

[vagrant cargo]

is there even a point to armor anymore

wow

screenshots apparently do not work anymore

[merry swift]

You died to thorax shot so yea

[vagrant cargo]

ive been sprayed full of m995

thats the point im trying to make

[merry swift]

happens

shit ammo

[vagrant cargo]

everyone has at least m855a1 or BS

why the fuck do i wear armor

[dawn geyser]

"Everyone" o-o

[rough halo]

Ey, I’m with dat PS gang

[vagrant cargo]

im not ALWAYS in hotspots so why do i always run into the sweaty ass squads

[bold kernel]

goddamn gifs

[merry swift]

I mean that's

1. not true
2. m855a1 gets stopped by t5/t6 armor

Maybe the correct statement is 'is there a point in buying shit armor anymore'

[vagrant cargo]

so ur saying lvl 4 armor is useless

[merry swift]

Against m855a1, yea

[vagrant cargo]

so basically against everyone

good to know great game

[merry swift]

I run into people that aren't running m855a1 or equivalent frequently

But like

It's 2 months into the wipe and you're complaining that you cannot run budget armor that reliably stops the majority of rounds anymore

Idk what you're expecting dude

[rough halo]

Shit armor is for the hatchlings and pistol runners, buy the big boys this late into wipe

[merry swift]

But rant away i guess

What'd you have, people still being unable to access m855a1 after 2 months of wipe?

[fickle niche]

this is the best toz

[merry swift]

Questionmark

[fickle niche]

i have ever found

goddamn im sweating

[bold kernel]

Just started the game today. Played a game and got murked instantly lol, anyone able to give me some tips? I'm somewhat confused and cant seem to do much

[vagrant cargo]

yeah let me ask where exactly ?

[merry swift]

EU servers

[rough halo]

@merry swift a friend brought up this point with me, does more flashlights increase brighter or does it cap out at 3?

[vagrant cargo]

the only person ive seen not using good ammo recently was a lvl 1 hiding in some toilets

[merry swift]

It caps out

[rough halo]

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[rough halo]

Damn cause I saw a picture of some guy finding a SIG with like 20 flashlights and wanted to try it out

[rough halo]

Does it cap out with lasers as well or nah

[bold kernel]

me on level 5 sometimes

[vagrant cargo]

well u wont run into me man

i can never run into low levels

always a 3 man squad with some bullshit gear

[whole thistle]

Implying there is good ammo that you can get at level 5

[vagrant cargo]

FIR

i found like 180 igolnik at lvl 4

[fickle niche]

time to join factory

and die

with my toz

[vagrant cargo]

devastor slugs to legsa

[rough halo]

I have a video of my friends coming tagilla and some pmc tryna take our loot from behind us runs up stairs and I 1 shot him with the TOZ

[bold kernel]

im using what i have in stash and find 😄 But i still dont get all that ammo thing so yeah, i just put in what i have, mostly PS rounds in SKS

[fickle niche]

MMMMM

head, eyes

love to see that message

[frosty veldt]

Literally means u had no chance lmao

[cobalt sluice]

Bruh

some dude tried to scav on scav missed every shot and got one tapped

whoever that was on interchange behind a tree fuck you

if youre going to scav on scav atleast aim

[rough halo]

Did he hit you once?

[open hedge]

it was on purpose

[rough halo]

Before your shot him*

[open hedge]

to not lose karma

[cobalt sluice]

no :/

which im sad about

[rough halo]

What he said

[cobalt sluice]

Wow

alr

still got shit on

i turned around and just badoink

[rough halo]

I say it’s better to get hit once then fight back

Then laugh cause either way he lost rep

[cobalt sluice]

the loot i got

i still needed a half mask for punisher pt2

[fickle niche]

exactly

i had a helmet with shield

Do lasers cap as well and if so to what?

[rough halo]

Do lasers cap as well and if so to what?

[whole thistle]

You can have as many lasers as you want

[finite terrace]

why do i see a lot of people use quakemaker ammo? isn't it really bad

[merry swift]

One laser gives you the same accuracy boost as 5 lasers I believe

[rough halo]

Ferb I know what we’re doing as soon as I unlock flea

[merry swift]

High flesh damage round

Aim for unarmored parts.

[finite terrace]

ah

so ideally RIP would be best for hitting unarmored parts

[rough halo]

Oh but the power of a million lasers is far better then the actual benefits

[merry swift]

The idea of quakemaker (and stuff like RIP, luger) is just to aim for the legs and have a fast firing gun to black out limbs and leverage the spread damage from that

True you can become the predator

Skier 1 sells lasers tho, no need to wait

[whole thistle]

You need the mounts tho

[dawn geyser]

When are they going to add the keybind for helmet lights

[merry swift]

Shotgun sprut pewpewpew

[cobalt sluice]

Tbh i would sell it but my friend would kick my ass inside out

Mounts

First time doing something like this

i always claimed straight away

it aint much but its honest work

Im happy :)

[drowsy oasis]

yea it went for 230k to ragman

[smoky moth]

oddly satisfying

[cobalt sluice]

Im going to show you oddly satisfying hold on

while mine gets stuck transferring at the first stack and i have to restart the game
