gaunt tapir
#

Database Part 2

vital oasis
#

quaint laurel
#

vital oasis
gaunt tapir
#

You can sell it if you want because I think Jaeger 3 has a pretty easy barter for it

vital oasis
#

gaunt tapir
#

vital oasis

gaunt tapir
vital oasis
#

vital oasis
#

gaunt tapir
vital oasis
#

gaunt tapir
#

Unprotected isn't that bad. Tough Guy is Scavs while in pain right?

vital oasis
#

i could probably do tough guy

vagrant cargo
#

why does the mosin exist for like the same price

vital oasis
#

i hate woods

#

gaunt tapir
#

That one is also really easy tbh

vital oasis
#

most of my others are pretty good

#

i dont play interchange either so rip ragman

vagrant cargo
gaunt tapir
#

Just ignore Sawmill and run around the outskirts of the map.

vital oasis
#

yeah interchange is scary

gaunt tapir
#

Scav Town will be your best friend for Bridge V-ex

vital oasis
#

gaunt tapir
#

vagrant cargo

sterile minnow

vagrant cargo
#

#

sterile minnow
#

Kekl

#

Saw a video on it like an hour ago, Lemme find it

#

2min video, very straight forward shit, I dont do factory as a pmc

vagrant cargo
#

ok whatever then idk

#

i dont know what to do

#

i only have annoying quests to do rn

dusky geyser
#

not at night but i’ve been consistently seeing tagilla at the scav spawn behind the blue garbage crate

drowsy oasis
#

anyone know why this isnt working for gunsmith 2 for my friend?

dusky geyser
#

90% he’s there if he spawned at all

drowsy oasis
#

nvm its durability

dusky geyser
#

dura and fold stock

vagrant cargo
dusky geyser
vagrant cargo

dusky geyser

vagrant cargo
#

yep

sterile minnow
vagrant cargo
#

i cant buy ps12b

#

i noticed him saying ps12b

sterile minnow
#

you can kedr legmeta him bro

vagrant cargo
#

i watched it very quick

#

im a quick person

sterile minnow
#

quickman

vagrant cargo
#

not by going above blue thingy

#

i watch every video on x2 speed to absorb knowledge quickly

sterile minnow
vagrant cargo
#

what

#

it works

sterile minnow
#

I do the same on longer videos

vagrant cargo
sterile minnow
#

uhhh youre asking the wrong person im afraid kekw

vagrant cargo
#

i think sp6 works

dusky geyser
#

yeah, tagilla is really made for legmetaing

i see no good ammo that is cheap and can pen that shit, other than the two horsemen of AP ammo

#

flechette and ap-m

vagrant cargo
#

apm is only not expensive from lvl 30 onwards sadly

vagrant cargo
#

i only load 20 rounders and shoot his face that should work idk

sterile minnow
#

!ballistics

dusky geyser
#

100 health on head

sterile minnow
#

rly? I always fuck this one up

#
Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.

vagrant cargo
#

nvm 3 to 5 or 6 shot

sterile minnow
#

get them toes

vagrant cargo
#

fucking hell

#

shooting his legs is not as quick as headshotting him

dusky geyser
#

yeah but it works

vagrant cargo
#

right

dusky geyser
#

dumping a 20rd of sp6 into his head sounds counterproductive

vagrant cargo
#

guess ill try it

vagrant cargo
#

4 shots is likely enough

#

and quick

#

plus im just tryna get armor

dusky geyser
#

hope so

dusky ore
#

Anyone down to teach a newb

gaunt tapir
sterile minnow
#

I mean hes a lil bish, hit him in his left toe and he runs to heal kekw

gaunt tapir
#

I forget exactly what the craft is but I reckon it is cheap compared to buying from flea.

#

Oh no I was thinking of flechette

#

Which tbf is still also cheaper than buying from flea

vagrant cargo
#

so not needed

#

also flechette is still cheap even on flea

gaunt tapir
#

Fair

#

What is it at now on flea

coarse raptor
#

450 a pop

vagrant cargo
gaunt tapir
#

I didn't start running flech this wipe until Jaeger 3

vagrant cargo
#

it used to be at 250

gaunt tapir
#

Yeah that's what I expected it to be at hollow

vagrant cargo
#

why is everything expensive on flea rn

gaunt tapir
#

Weekend so a lot of people playing probably

#

Means more people buying so supply is lower

vagrant cargo
#

fuck weekends

#

i hate weekends !!

unkempt robin
#

Hey guys, can anyone who knows woods help me friend to get this first quests? idk the map😅

tame kernel
#

Is labs worth doing even if you don't have any of the keys?(i.e. kinda looking for someone to teach me labs, the only map I don't know)

young goblet
#

now i remeber why i wear armor

#

i rounded a corner and out of no where there was a scav with a toz who dropped me

young goblet

#

@pure marsh proud of me bro?

#

my mate got 2 as well

bold kernel
young goblet
#

not that you shouldnt get them but you def dont need them

can anyone make a mosin setup for me please?? i need a cheap scoped mosin but i dont know how to use the preset menu :(

vast plume
#

best grenade on flea?

tame kernel
#

@vast plume any of them 🤣

gaunt tapir
# vast plume best grenade on flea?

F-1 or VOG-17 is best bang for buck IMO. F-1 is cheap from Prapor 2 at like 9.2k roubles and VOG-17 is a grenade fuze barter to Mechanic 1 which is equally like about 9-10k based on flea price.

young goblet
#

wait do "eliminate" tasks not count if you die

#

wait my progress just got reset

gaunt tapir
vagrant cargo
#

this is the least fun game ever

young goblet
gaunt tapir
#

It shouldn't reset if you die then.

young goblet
#

i just loaded into raid and checked and its at 0%

gaunt tapir
#

Oh that is a visual glitch

#

You still have progress it just doesn't show in raid sometimes

#

Lots of quests do that

young goblet
#

that what i think

#

ok ty

blazing brook
#

to be able to get to a state where i can bring good shit in every run like the popular streamers do how much rub wld i need to be sitting on roughly?

young goblet
#

i was wondering abt that

young goblet
gaunt tapir
young goblet
#

its more of traders tho cuz the streamers get goof prices

blazing brook
#

so like 300k on gun etc

young goblet
#

yeah

gaunt tapir
#

IE level 5+ armor is a good example

blazing brook
#

yes

gaunt tapir
#

Only from traders or in raid

young goblet
#

300K on gun? then thats like 300k on armor

vagrant cargo
#

its cool how most of the quests are just tedious and no one wants to do them

blazing brook
#

okay

young goblet
#

so 600k in total you will need like 15 mill to be able to have a loosing streak

vagrant cargo
#

no

blazing brook
#

ive written it down and i have tried to do delivery from the past 39 times

vagrant cargo
#

unless you lose a LOT

#

and get nothing out of any raid

gaunt tapir
#

^ That's also kind of a bad example because it assumes someone is just running the same kit over and over

young goblet
gaunt tapir
#

Which 99% of people will not do

young goblet
#

so even when u survive u net like 20k

vagrant cargo
#

plus just an rfb and a mmac works yknow

gaunt tapir
#

RFB and MMAC is goated budget build

young goblet
#

yeah you dont gotta all out chad

vagrant cargo
#

you dont gotta buy a fuckin SASS m1a every raid

#

also not 300k on armor

#

most streamers are ghzel enjoyers

#

thats like 150k

#

ulach 50 to 70k

#

220k

young goblet
vagrant cargo
#

what fucking good shit ?

#

what good shit is he gonna get

young goblet
#

exfil and some class 5

gaunt tapir
#

If you're spending 300k on a class 5 you're probably buying a bait class 5

#

Bait as in a class 5 that is actually garbage because it gives you arms protection or is made out of a bad material

vagrant cargo
#

no way ! osprey !

young goblet
#

no exfil is like 180k with visor

#

im assuming 150 for armor and 150 for helemt 300k in total

gaunt tapir
#

Ah.

young goblet
#

i wouldnt feel comfortable bringing in a 300k build and a ratrig

vagrant cargo
#

either way u dont need 15mil to run 600k kits

blazing brook
#

so how much rub should i be sitting at to be comfortable running 600k kits quite often

coarse raptor
#

at least 600k

vital oasis
#

fucking scav killed me 5 mins left in raid as a scav

#

pos

young goblet
blazing brook
young goblet
#

but i mean you should wait till ur rich to start

blazing brook
#

im def not rich lol

#

i have 3mil

gaunt tapir
#

What is your overall value

#

And do you have any good items sitting around in your stash

#

IE good attachments, good guns, good ammo, good armor, etc.

#

Because if you have to buy all your shit from scratch when you're running big kits is a lot different from using a lot of stuff you have sitting around and only buying a bit of stuff.

fair trench
#

is it cheaper to buy meds and use them to heal after raid or just click the healall~?

young goblet
mossy panther
#

are there any comtacts that work with ear guards?

mossy panther
#

the helmet attatchement

young goblet
gaunt tapir
#

Pretty sure the attachable ears for any of the helmets that have attachable ears are mutually exclusive with headsets

mossy panther
#

ah got it

gaunt tapir
#

Oh actually @mossy panther try M32s or XCELs

young goblet
#

wait what are you talking abt

mossy panther
young goblet
#

oh you mean headphones

gaunt tapir
#

There's maybe another headset not in the conflicting items list there but all I can think of off the top of my head are M32 and XCEL

mossy panther
gaunt tapir
#

Cool

mossy panther
#

its weird that the m32 work because you cant wear them with the ssh-68

gaunt tapir
#

Yeah how does it even look with M32?

#

I feel like that would look wonky

mossy panther
#

it clips with the XCEL too

haughty trout
#

question, is the zhuk 6a armour with 30 durability out of 30 usable?

drowsy oasis
#

just killed a scav and he had ultramed key and my friend stole it and didnt give me it :E

haughty trout
#

sorry to hear

#

nothing anyone can do sadly

gaunt tapir
#

That's less than half durability and ceramic already takes a lot of durability damage.

# sharp spindle if you dont wear stomach covering armor you die 90% of the time

On the topic of stomach covering it's situational IMO. On longer range maps/engagements I don't think stomach covering is worth it. IE Woods, Shoreline if you aren't running Resort, Customs if you aren't going Dorms, Lighthouse.

But CQC the stomach armor is pretty invaluable to not getting memed by magnum buck or flesh ammo gamers.

@ivory heath idk if it’s really worth it but I did a scav run on interchange if you can get to the tech store I ended up making like 400k of gpus

Hey guys, me and my friend just got into the game, we did a couple of scav runs and I have a question
Should a new player with absolutely no experience be concerned or even worried about scav karma in the long run?
We looked it up and saw it has nice benefits but its also kinda distracting on top of trying to get used to and survive the game
What are the recommendations?

pure marsh
#

I don't have mine even close to max because I never scav 🤷

gaunt tapir
#

Scav Karma gets you Scavs faster and with better stuff on average, and also gives you cheaper vehicle extracts as a PMC.

#

Negative Scav Karma does the opposite of all of that, so not caring about Scav Karma has some pretty bad impacts.

#

I've heard -6/max negative scav karma is like 20k+ roubles for vehicle extracts as PMC

#

Brutal

sterile minnow
#

scav karma tldr - better scav /scav case timers and loadout on your scav, aswell as cheaper v extracts
dont kill other scavs

smoky moth
#

if you meet a pmc, you're most likely dead

gaunt tapir
#

Not true

#

Killing PMCs as Pscav is not that hard

Head eyes and leg meta is your best friend 😈

What is hard is not to jump the gun on the first footstep I hear that isn't made by me or my friend 😅

gaunt tapir

Leg meta and no visor PMCs will fall victim to Pscavs anyways

Unlucky streaks happen

hollow forge

lol yea sometimes it feels like that man

gaunt tapir
#

Part of the game, or any game similar to this.

vagrant cargo
#

Yeah but like

#

I haven’t had a good raid in a while

gaunt tapir
#

I had a streak of like 4 or 5 Customs raids earlier this wipe trying to do Punisher where I would kill a single shrimpy PMC, a single Scav, and then die.

#

Literally like clockwork every raid

vagrant cargo
#

Losing streak cost me like 2mil

#

I am down bad

gaunt tapir
vagrant cargo

Well not down bad but I wish I had more money

#

I cannot justify buying a SASS M1A that costs too many moners

unless youre a FPS god hitting headshots like a boss or like 3+ wipes deep with experience you get rekt often

It’s just that even when I spend 600k on my kit I die

swimming in cash bruh

I don’t think I’m that bad

But I run into people who are better

hollow forge

fuck yea you do

Im like below average probably

hollow forge

everyone does

vagrant cargo
#

I run into GOOD people

#

Like not above average

#

Those people are actually GOOD

shadow pecan

theres like 10% of the population that are actually GOOD at tarkov

everyone else gets shit on all the time

playing with other people is hard

I havent killed any customists yet myself, cept when 1 of them stood up and domed my duo

vagrant cargo

It only delayed my death to a squad

I only got one

hollow forge
#

lol yea man that sounds about right

vagrant cargo
#

Indoors pvp I really suck at

#

Which is why I’m mostly a woods enjoyer

hollow forge

killing squads in tight spots is rough unless you know the area inside and out and can fool people

sterile minnow
vagrant cargo
#

Nah

hollow forge
#

run to dorms a shitload with cheaper loadouts

bold kernel
#

whats wrong with my gs part 1 shot gun?

vagrant cargo
#

I know that’s how I’ll get better but indoors pvp I just know I’ll die

hollow forge
#

use an UMP and spray the shit out of people

vagrant cargo
#

Between me being bad at it and audio being so bad

#

I died to a dude because he was under me

sterile minnow
#

audio is confusing asf lmao

vagrant cargo
#

Which was like

#

Impossible to get

#

How was he under me

sterile minnow
#

you hear them on the left, but theyre actually on the other side of the truck behind u waitwhat

vagrant cargo
#

And sounded normal

vagrant cargo
hollow forge
#

yea and everyone knows the audios fucked and takes advantage but you have to be aware of it.. and familiar with certain areas in certain maps audio flaws

vagrant cargo
#

I pushed a room only to realise it wasn’t the right one 💀

sterile minnow
vagrant cargo
#

Threw like 2 VOGs in there

hollow forge
#

hahah yea

vagrant cargo
#

The dude was on the other side and promptly shot me with 17 rounds of 7.62 soviet BP

#

I should call 7.62x39 .30combloc to confuse people

#

That would be super funny

sterile minnow
#

yeaah.. did the same, ran into a different room, where was the guy I tried to kill? In the same fucking room I ran into kekw I hate shoreline resort

vagrant cargo
#

Resorts has terrible audio

#

Got me killed quite a few times

#

And also lost most of my good stuff there

#

Goodbye very few lvl 6 armors I had

sterile minnow
#

my 2 slicks are just sitting in my backpack

hollow forge
#

try a few dorms runs gardredd

vagrant cargo
#

But when I went dorms there was altyn man

hollow forge
#

you get mixed level pvp not just resort sweaty chads

vagrant cargo
#

I then was sad

#

Oh really

hollow forge
#

haha yea sometimes.. but not always

vagrant cargo

I only saw resorts type dudes there tbh

sterile minnow

or you get jusain bolt lookin mfkers

💀

sterile minnow
#

driveby boys

hollow forge

ALSO I have money but no gear

How do I kill cultists

I need better armor

uhh no that has nothing to do with cultists just cheap gear thats OK

vagrant cargo

Oh

#

Yeah I wanna get cool gear I think I’ll hunt cultists

vagrant cargo
sterile minnow
#

go try on woods and come back

#

tryina kill shturboy in a cheeky spot, suddenly get backstabbed by a cultists and his gang

vagrant cargo
#

i mean yeah if they’re the one getting the drop on you you will die

#

especially with fucking UK drill artist around the lumber mill

sterile minnow
#

yeah but the tall grass on woods does so much for them, compared to customs

#

which is why theyre a lot easier on customs

vital sentinel
#

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but would anyone mind helping me complete the Introduction mission? I'm having a tough time with it.

vagrant cargo
#

Yeah that’s true it’s prolly really hard to get em there

#

Ill try n hunt em in customs

sterile minnow
#

watch tigz's video

vital sentinel
sterile minnow
#

cant really die unless 3rd partied

vagrant cargo
#

As a night time dude, would you say I will get pvp, 3’rd partied and anally destroyed ?

pure marsh
sterile minnow
#

dunno, I rarely run customs tbh

#

woods I usually run into people on usec/emercom/mill and village

#

basically the obvious loot spots

smoky moth
#

also you're overmodding it

#

the scope on it isnt needed

vagrant cargo
#

@sterile minnow do cultists spawn in specific spots cause if so I’ll definitely get shot by players

vagrant cargo
#

Annoyance

sterile minnow
#

im tired but yes they spawn at specific spots

vagrant cargo
#

I hate how night stuff is between 2200 and 0600

#

So when you can’t get that time

#

You just wait.

sterile minnow
#

I like it, clear difference between day and night time

#

oh yeah

#

yeah I agree, but it fits the day night cycle ingame tho

smoky moth
#

oh wtf

#

this is the only cultist spawn in woods

sterile minnow
#

old village too

smoky moth
sterile minnow
#

unless that was removed this wipe

sterile minnow
#

has its downsides for sure

vagrant cargo
#

yeah so like there’s a choice between 0600 and like idk 1800 or 02000

#

2000

#

cool fun ill wait

sterile minnow
#

just scav run meanwhile

vagrant cargo
#

boring.

sterile minnow
#

that or waiting usually being the options

vagrant cargo
#

BORING

#

IM BORED

sterile minnow
#

it's a HHS, i can 3x people at least

it’s meh man

smoky moth
#

y

vagrant cargo
#

I really did think you were a low lvl though

#

UH because

sterile minnow
vagrant cargo
#

It has more felt recoil than the ones without magnifier

#

And also

#

Tac-30 exists

#

As well as valday

#

only sights in the game to me are vudu tac30 and valday

smoky moth
#

i need a 1x without camera recoil

#

and eotech fits me the best

vagrant cargo
#

Valday is just for sniping it sucks for 1x

smoky moth
#

welp got my win anyway

#

nice m62 bullets this raider got though

vagrant cargo
#

smoky moth
#

any recommendations on what i should run for 25 extractions factory?

vagrant cargo
#

saiga 12

#

the rest doesn’t matter

#

just saiga 12 powermag

smoky moth
#

yea i really should start farming kills for the 12ga quests

smoky moth
#

shotgun hipfire kinda wonky without lasers so im kinda worried

vagrant cargo
#

Who cares about ergo on that gun ??)

#

Then bring a laser

smoky moth
#

ok

vagrant cargo
#

i mean tbh

#

20 rounds of 12g

#

i feel like hitting 2 won’t be that hard

#

out of the whole mag

smoky moth
#

.50 BMG right

vagrant cargo
#

Oh

#

I would’ve used fléchette for factory ?

#

But .50BMG works if u can’t buy AP20

smoky moth
vagrant cargo
#

um what

pure mist
vagrant cargo
#

They fixed it a bit

smoky moth
#

last time i used 7mm and i was a bit far away

vagrant cargo
#

Not good enough

smoky moth
#

but i still hit the enemy

drowsy oasis
#

someone sell makeshift 50 bmg slugs pls xx

vagrant cargo
#

Well the pellets don’t disappear

#

So you can use them from afar

#

But like

#

It won’t work great most of the time

smoky moth
#

so flechette?

vagrant cargo
#

@smoky moth an alternative is to use magnum and aim for legs

smoky moth
#

since factory isn't a very medium sized map

vagrant cargo
#

fléchette is like buckshot with no damage

smoky moth
#

i reckon most of the fights would be close

vagrant cargo
#

which fucks up armor

#

so yeah I’d say it works good

#

it only has like 200dmg a shot though

#

magnum has 400

bold kernel
#

how does dorms v ex work? does it start open at the start of a raid (if its there) or is it random when it opens

you bu it

you buy it

someone could've used it, but if it's used, the extract will appear red when you press O

Are there even hiker clothes in game

wait rly

vagrant cargo
#

And even besides that don’t kill scavs as scav

that makes you lame and lowers your karma

i still cant distinguish pmc and scavs..a lot of times on my pmc runs i kill player scavs thinking they pmc just to find no dog tag

Go to Factory and wish for a good shot

As a PMC do not bother with target ID unless you’re in a squad

As a scav play passively don’t try to kill ppl too much

Yeah, I think the PMC runs are more to kill and do tasks when the Scav runs are for loot

ok i had a few scav runs where other player scavs was killing scavs so i thought they were pmc and once i kill them i get negative karma

vagrant cargo
humble sage
#

nah i still got negative rep but im saying how do i tell if its player scav or pmc

#

u cant?

#

its guessing game?

vagrant cargo
#

It’s literally not possible you get positive rep for killing traitor scavs

#

No it’s not

rose mauve
#

its not rlly a skill issue? i dont shoot scavs as a scav and other players say they are friendly and then shoot me in the face.. not much skill there

vagrant cargo
#

Scavs look different

humble sage
#

yeah tell how they look different so i know what to look for

vagrant cargo
#

They’re the civilian looking types

#

they look stupid and poor

humble sage
#

yeah but the player scavs i been killing look like chads to me.. so i assume they pmc

vagrant cargo
#

Maybe they looted a dude idk

#

Why do you even care to know if they’re PMC or not

terse oasis
#

I killed an USEC with a Toz in Factory

vagrant cargo
#

If they’re geared it’s prolly not worth going for it

#

At least not until you start knowing the game a bit

#

you’ll just end up murdering fellow scavs and getting bad rep

vagrant cargo
stone flax

lvl 9 and need help with quest

humble sage
#

i kill geared players a lot thats what im saying i still get negative rep even though player scav gunning scav lobby down even though i thought he was pmc

vagrant cargo
#

Yeah except killing traitor scavs gives you rep

#

So you probably did not assess the situation properly

humble sage
#

ok say a player scav spawn in with max negative rep and ai scavs shoot on sight..am i able to shoot as well?

vagrant cargo
#

I don’t even know if scavs can shoot on sight from spawn

#

I’d still wait for him to kill an AI scav at least

i watched video saying if your rep negative enough they shoot player scav on sight
