[devout abyss]

from what ive learned myself i mean

[jaunty cliff]

That's not even that much stuff

[tame shard]

easily like 300k

[open hedge]

That’s not a lot

[delicate canyon]

What servers you running, I also want to run with people who just got the game

[jaunty cliff]

Mate 300k is like nothing

[tame shard]

thats pretty decent

[open hedge]

300k for 50 kilos is not good

[jaunty cliff]

Nah for 50kg it should be atleast like a mil

[devout abyss]

i can run most us and some eu servers so im down to play let me just shower and eat

[tame shard]

bro im not that rich

300k is a lot for me

in a run

[jaunty cliff]

Im not that rich either and 300k is a bad run

[delicate canyon]

I originally said that as a joke considering you are surviving raids with a facemask and no helmet, but I guess I could go in a squad once in a while

95% run solo

[scarlet jetty]

Bet, I'll rent you tonight for protection

[open hedge]

I only take bitcoins labs cards and just straight up roubles as payment

(Some exceptions may apply)

[tame shard]

can i pay you in toilet paper

[open hedge]

20k roubles per raid as payment

I’m not very expensive

[tame shard]

that is pretty expensive

ill give you like minimum wage

10€ per hour playing with me

ingame

you can have it in roubles too if you want

good deal?

[open hedge]

Uh

Look

[jaunty cliff]

20k is a fair affordable price

[open hedge]

Minimum price is 15k per raid to pay for my medical bills if we die

But I usually do 20k

[tame shard]

pay yo own bills

you get 10k

[open hedge]

Hmm

12k

[tame shard]

also what do you even do in the raid

[jaunty cliff]

PvP!!!

[open hedge]

I protect i guide or I run towards the enemy for intel

I do many things

[scarlet jetty]

45k

[open hedge]

I’ll accept that in an instant

[jaunty cliff]

45,001

[tame shard]

why tf do i keep getting this error

[jaunty cliff]

L

[sterile minnow]

you too huh?

[tame shard]

i can't even get on the eft server status site?

[jaunty cliff]

The servers are up that isn't what that error is

[tame shard]

hmm

my internet is working perfectly fine

[open hedge]

Skill issue

[tame shard]

what will i not need for any quests

[open hedge]

Sell it all

[tame shard]

💀

[jaunty cliff]

Sell it all

[tame shard]

deadass?

[open hedge]

The majority wil not help you for a while

[woeful spruce]

sell chlorine, the fleece, maybe some of the piles of meds

[jaunty cliff]

All of it isnt used for quests except for the shit thats super easy to find like horse

[woeful spruce]

all of the computer stuff like wires is very easly optainable from like 1 interchange scav run so you can sell a bunch of that

[scarlet jetty]

keep fuel and sewings kits, sell the rest

[young goblet]

how did someone manage to take the pistol grip off my gun

[rough plover]

Why is the vss vintorez being sold in the flea without the dust cover?

Is that really expensive or something?

[amber wave]

am I meant to put the top of my iron sights on my target or should I have the target above the tip of the iron sights?

because I must be getting something wrong with a mosin

[bold kernel]

im shitting

[tame shard]

how is it?

[bold kernel]

explosive diarrhea my ass got like 90 vert recoil

[tame shard]

sheesh

send a pic over

[open hedge]

I know somebody who played elden ring for 10 hours straight

How could one do that to himself

[bold kernel]

they are doing the no touch women run

[open hedge]

He has a girlfriend and he’s told be in all seriousness he’s fucked dudes before

He wears a skirt to airsoft

He’s a

Character

[bold kernel]

Jesus

that explains it

[bold kernel]

Would blast him in the eyes

[open hedge]

Bruh

He’s got some fancy ass airsoft gear though

I’m very jealous

[tame shard]

jesus

[bold kernel]

i need only 4 oh these for a quest right

[open hedge]

Yes

[scarlet jetty]

Tactical kilt

[open hedge]

[tame shard]

[open hedge]

[junior kiln]

You sure thats what happened?
I didnt think you could take off the pistol grip in a raid 🤔

[open hedge]

Happens to me too

[bold kernel]

beat his ass for me

[open hedge]

I think there is a bug where the pistol grip doesn’t insure sometimes so it doesn’t come back

[open hedge]

He’d like that

[young goblet]

i know for a fact i didnt bring a useless mcx into rai

It was like a hacker that killed me so maybe thats why

[sterile minnow]

the cover is just for drip

[open hedge]

Pistol grips do disappear sometimes

Happend for a few wipes now

[junior kiln]

haha no no i believe that
Was just wondering if you mixed up your guns or something post-raid i dunno but I guess Reeses has seen it

[young goblet]

on scavs it doesnt spawn

[rough plover]

ohhhhh! Well looks like I'm going to spend 20k for the drip haha

[young goblet]

so even if someone wanted to add it they couldnt

its literally 1700 roubles

[rough plover]

oh its prapor level 3

[young goblet]

last wipe it was flea only

[rough plover]

this is my first wipe so I don't have him there yet

just got to playing tarkov las t week

[open hedge]

Skill issue

In one week you should be level 50

[rough plover]

skill issue? um I just got to playing tarkov

like my first time playing is last week

[open hedge]

[young goblet]

sarcasm issue

[rough plover]

ahh a troll

anyways thanks @young goblet

[tame shard]

np

[open hedge]

No worries

[delicate canyon]

You didn't insure your pistol grip, end of story

[bold kernel]

where is dead mans place extract

[tame shard]

where the dead man is

[young goblet]

by the boat on woods

near outskirts by the water

[bold kernel]

like near the outs..

theres a dead man there

yeaah

thanks

i think

[tame shard]

@bold kernel i think so too

[bold kernel]

the only dead man that is going to be there is me

thats true

[open hedge]

[bold kernel]

this boat?

[tame shard]

just go and look 💀

[bold kernel]

nope

im not extracting

[open hedge]

[fervent turret]

dead mans is further along the shore

rocks

[young goblet]

i said by the boat its at the rocks to ur right

[fervent turret]

with a lil cove and a dead body

[bold kernel]

do you not have outskirts?

[open hedge]

[bold kernel]

https://youtu.be/miaP_VeSQyE

dead man located

thank you guys

[open hedge]

You need to go there for a task

[fervent turret]

[tame shard]

np

[bold kernel]

you gotta shit on his face

[tame shard]

teabag him

[young goblet]

what task

[open hedge]

Idk

Can’t remember

[bold kernel]

my face when first time playing reverse and idk how to leave

[young goblet]

i respect you for getting a kill with that scope

[open hedge]

Bro missed the train

[bold kernel]

what do you mean its a good scope

[young goblet]

for reserve? against a kitted ak?

[bold kernel]

it was 1v2 too

and i hipfired both eyes

a lil trolling

[open hedge]

Skill issue

Should’ve died

Should’ve tried to extract earlier

Look it up

Catch train

[bold kernel]

tru tru

[open hedge]

Train leaves at last 5 mins

[steep flame]

so helpful

and no you dont need to go to dead mans place for a task if thats where you meant

[young goblet]

train is such an annoying extract

[open hedge]

Hmm I thought there was something over there that I was looking for it. My memory fails me again

[steep flame]

nope

so rip memory

[open hedge]

Is there a stash near it I might have been looking for

Can the mods post memes?

[topaz violet]

my first scav box ever i used moonshine that i found in a raid

[open hedge]

Damn

[bold kernel]

damn thats bad

[open hedge]

Can I have it

I need all of that for a task

Please

[bold kernel]

Mil tube is cool. Might wanna sell it if you don't need it. Mil tune value is only going down from here

sell the tube to therapist

[topaz violet]

yah ill sell it

[open hedge]

I need them

For heating

[bold kernel]

u need to go outside

[open hedge]

But

I need the parts

Why should I go outside

I was outside not too long ago

[bold kernel]

fake

[topaz violet]

do i buy documents or moonshine for scav box

[open hedge]

Yeah I was walking between classes

So I was outside

[open hedge]

Moonshine

[celest shoal]

Im new to the game so does anyone wanna help me out with some quest

[open hedge]

I assume you have the first ones?

[celest shoal]

yea

[open hedge]

Try and do jaegers quickly and then learn customs after

[celest shoal]

i have that done

[tiny steppe]

anyone wanna help me w woods ? havin trouble w jaegers

[celest shoal]

just find the location and near the tractor there is a paper you need to pick up then extract

[bold kernel]

If you don't have a docs case, buy that first. Moonshine is just gambling eith extra steps and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose

[open hedge]

I think he meant intel folder documents

[bold kernel]

xdd

how do you fit shit in your ass

if you didnt pay to stretch it enough

[open hedge]

You don’t

Either pay for stretch or buy beta

[open hedge]

Get kappa

[bold kernel]

aint nobody got time for that

[open hedge]

I have the time just not the skill

[bold kernel]

when do they do discounts

might buy the stretching

[open hedge]

Holidays

I saw you typing kwon

Spit it out

[dawn geyser]

I must've hit my keyboard, I was scrolling up

lol

[open hedge]

Why were you watching us

[bold kernel]

Im shitting

[sterile veldt]

At what fence rep will you start getting better scav spawn gear?

[open hedge]

It’s linear

[bold kernel]

every 1 point i think

[violet crystal]

How do I get good armour?

[sterile veldt]

oh so 100 scav extracts, is there a way to raise that quicker?

does fence give tasks actually

[open hedge]

Yes

[sterile minnow]

v extracts

as pmc

[bold kernel]

car extracts as pmc or coop extractd

[sterile veldt]

k thanka

[open hedge]

Vehicles and co-op give .25

The reduce by half every time

So you can’t do the same one over and over

Minimum you will get it .03

[bold kernel]

in chemical part 4 i didnt lose rep for the other 2 traders

but i did get the quest to buy back the rep

[wanton crystal]

Are gpu's worth keeping if im on farming part 4 or should I just sell them since they are half a mill atm?

[open hedge]

If you don’t think you will get kappa

Don’t do farming 4

Just sell or save for farm

[wanton crystal]

tbh I've no idea what my thoughts are on kappa

[bold kernel]

its a waste of time

[wanton crystal]

probably not so worth to do it since it is my first wipe anyway

[open hedge]

It’s my 3rd wipe and I’m not gonna do it

[azure nova]

LFG down for anything dm me

[marsh harbor]

I just noticed kirasa goes for 60ish K

what?

who buys that shit

[open hedge]

I wait for it to drop to 30k

That’s a fair price

60k is absurd for class 3

Just buy class 4 at that point

I only buy things cheap

A man of the market

[violet crystal]

where can i get or fine lvl 5 to 6 armour?

[marsh harbor]

what's the easiest way to get that bigger mag for gunsmith 4/5

for the M4

[open hedge]

Mechanic 2 gp coin barter

You can barter for an m4 that has one

It’s expensive because you are buying a whole gun but

[violet crystal]

what should I put in my alpha? i currently have vaseline, propital and a docs case with keys i need for quests

[open hedge]

Oof that pretty rough

Try and grind for those upgrades

But instead of propital maybe bring a Afak

And keep bleed stops and stuff in your pockets at all times

[tropic falcon]

Any noobs/beginners who want to run some raids/help for quests?

Am level 51

[devout abyss]

ya im back and got a new keyboard and mouse aswell lol

[violet crystal]

i usually just carry salewa and calok b in my tac rig

[open hedge]

That works

[devout abyss]

im just downloading my the program for my mouse the dpi is crazy

[open hedge]

Then adjust it

[whole thistle]

i havent checked my insurance in a few days and WHAT THE VUICKCACK STOP

this isnt even all of it lmao

[open hedge]

Uh

Sell stuff time

You Insure everything don’t you

Bruh

[scarlet jetty]

Why do you insure bags?

[open hedge]

Only insure guns and mags

That’s what I do

Some armor I will insure

[dawn geyser]

I ensure everything, even my face covers

[open hedge]

But usually just guns

[whole thistle]

yeah lmao

[whole thistle]

i dont even do those

[whole thistle]

fuck no i still have tons of space lol

[open hedge]

I saw a guy insure his key tool in his secure container

[open hedge]

Wish I could say the same

[whole thistle]

this is all my leftover space

good enough

[open hedge]

Holy shit

[dawn geyser]

After claiming?

[whole thistle]

yeah

[open hedge]

I have like 39 mil stash worth so I guess I know why I’m so full of stuff

[dawn geyser]

And you didn't sell the things you claimed?

[golden dove]

anyone know where i can find bolts and screw heads im tryna build my workshop

[whole thistle]

out of my whole eod stash

[bold kernel]

i need to exfil resort as a solo but the pvp is impossible to win 1v4 when they all have fat kits, when i watch streamers do "loot runs" its literally always empty. any tips?

[whole thistle]

no lol that screenshot was straight from my stash

[dawn geyser]

Such self control.

[open hedge]

Bro forgot his stash at home

[dawn geyser]

Couldn't be me.

[bold kernel]

why do u have so many poo helmets and mosins

[dawn geyser]

Are you NA?

[bold kernel]

EU

[open hedge]

My stash is always super full

[scarlet jetty]

60 mil and I still have tons of space

[whole thistle]

tarkov shooter + fuck you 6b47 gang for life

[dawn geyser]

I would go manually select servers, and select servers with longer match times

[open hedge]

39 million worth but only 1 mil cash

[dawn geyser]

They tend to be a little more dead

[open hedge]

[whole thistle]

mine's only worth 15 mil smh

[dawn geyser]

What level are you Zawp pawg

[bold kernel]

and night time helps right?

[whole thistle]

25

ive barely played this wipe lol

[dawn geyser]

Yes it does

[dawn geyser]

icic

[bold kernel]

im scared of the dark tbh

[open hedge]

Bruh

[dawn geyser]

Play with your gamma settings and look at post FX settings

Bring a flashlight

[whole thistle]

bring 6 lights and a helmet light

[dawn geyser]

Helmet lights are swiggy

❤️

I just wish there was a Keybind for them.

[open hedge]

I’ve done that before

[dawn geyser]

I also wish the helmet lights were centered

[open hedge]

I had 20 lights on my character in total

[violet crystal]

8 mil no space!!

[bold kernel]

i went cultist farming last raid and found noone and died to reshala because i was on 250 ping

[whole thistle]

the entire reason i actually just got on was to claim insurance not even to play lol

mw updating

[bold kernel]

scarred for life now

[dawn geyser]

-9 Reputation.

[whole thistle]

im 2 years late but i just found out they added spec ops survival

i need to play it

[marsh harbor]

it's annoying how filtering by linked doesn't list all the parts

[whole thistle]

it wasnt in for the first year

[marsh harbor]

what's the point then

[dawn geyser]

Wait like the like waves one?

[whole thistle]

it shows everything that can be connected directly to the receiver

[whole thistle]

yeah like mw3

same money system and everything

[dawn geyser]

I might just eat my words, time to patch

[marsh harbor]

it literally doesn't link the UMP's silencer

[tropic falcon]

Nothing wrong with that

You never know when that one slot is best

[marsh harbor]

and you don't need any adapters for it

[whole thistle]

yeah because it connects to the barrel, you need to linked search the barrel

its a cringe system

[open hedge]

No sane human will drop their key tool

[marsh harbor]

well even then

it shouldn't be that way

[tropic falcon]

Tbh I've been hesitating doing it cause it speeds up insurance selection

Since I rarely take a bag with me, or anything redundant

[whole thistle]

just make sure you have both of these installed lol

i only downloaded survival but it still neede the main spec ops thing

[scarlet jetty]

"Since I rarely take a bag with me, or anything redundant" oh boy

[tropic falcon]

Bags are overrated

[whole thistle]

yeah i just use my omega container for everything

8x5

[scarlet jetty]

Always bring at least a pillbox

[open hedge]

Sling bags are 2k roubles anyone can buy them

[tropic falcon]

I just don't loot anymore though

[whole thistle]

why

[rigid light]

Hello

[tropic falcon]

Cause I don't need much anymore

[whole thistle]

reasonable

[open hedge]

Hello senator

[rigid light]

Welcome senator

Where a fine gentleman find cans of thermite?

[tropic falcon]

Lighthouse back area

Always at least one spawn there

[whole thistle]

theres youtube guides for specific thermite loot runs, you can mainly get them on reserve, interchange, and lighthouse

[rigid light]

As i thought, gonna have to scav even harder now

[tropic falcon]

Lighthouse back area is rarely touched

[rigid light]

Which one exactly?

Is it near the armored train?

[tropic falcon]

The area where the train arrives. There's a bunch of spawns there

You can reliably find 1-2 Military Tubes 1/3 raids

[rigid light]

Well i got not that much from there, guess i wasn't fast enough

[tropic falcon]

Nah its about checking the nooks and crannies

[rigid light]

I did find the a mp5k there

Tons of fun

[tropic falcon]

Map doesn't show all the loot spots and there is a ton of loose loot around. At this stage of the wipe people don't go there as often

They kill the rogues and scoot

[rigid light]

And also watch the highway with the sniper

Learned that the hard way

[tropic falcon]

Go from beach, coast area, then go right and enter from side entrance

Never anyone there

[rigid light]

I also need to find one folder with intelligence

I swear i will find an actual way to escape before i get one

[tropic falcon]

Craft it in hideout or go into Crackhouse. Or some buildings on reserve have them too

[rigid light]

I cannot craft it since i don't have an intelligence center since i don't have a folder to craft it

[tropic falcon]

Buy it? Since you don't need it to be FIR for hideout upgrades

[rigid light]

Only level 12

[tropic falcon]

Pain

[rigid light]

And also gear fear

[tropic falcon]

Eh if you bring me 250k I'll get you one?

[rigid light]

Rest in peace my level 4 armour

Isn't that trading?

[tropic falcon]

Idk? I'm kind of new here, wouldn't see it as trading really

[rigid light]

I'll get it eventually

But I also need screws for the level 2 cache

Those should be easy

Interchange has lots of them

[tropic falcon]

#521628660298678283 message

Apparently yeah

[weak rivet]

No trading oops

[open hedge]

What keys

[weak rivet]

Dm me I just saw the no trading rule oopsies

[open hedge]

Nah they don’t care

They don’t ban

I’ve seen it a thousand times

[bleak kite]

is the introduction quest possible to clear in offline mode? cause i just get lost and r*ped cause im new to tarkov, i just wanna get the quest done

[open hedge]

Nothing can be done in offline

[bleak kite]

well then im screwed

naked runs and dying is the way to go then

[rigid light]

I did like 4 knife runs just to get the note

That way i learned the woods map, the same way rat learns layout of its cage

[bleak kite]

i have a map on the second monitor but every map i look up just feel so lacking of detail

[rigid light]

In a nutshell it's horrible, take analgin into your container so you can run with your legs broken

[rigid light]

I recommend map genie, they have toggleable icons so just turn everything off but location names and extractions

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/woods

Here's the link

What is the best place to do the dehydration jeager quest?

I already have condensed milk

I sold my mayo before i got the quest

[open hedge]

I did it on interchange and just did a stash run and left through vehicle extract

[rigid light]

You want me to take 5000 out of my 3 million? Unbelievable

[open hedge]

Bruh

[rigid light]

I might use the hole in fence extract, unless i need more meds to survive being at 0 hydration

[open hedge]

Vehicle extract gives scav karma

[rigid light]

Ohh neat

[sterile veldt]

How the hell do I tell if someones a scav or a pmc

[open hedge]

Clothes

Patch

Armband

[rigid light]

Clothing, voice lines, or shoot on sight

[sterile veldt]

what if they look exactly like a scav and they're shouting russian voice lines

[rigid light]

Maybe not voice lines bears also speak Russian

Idk tbh

[sterile veldt]

I was just waiting to see if they shot back at me to shoot

and I was already dead before that happened

I killed one of em

They got me hella low since I let them shoot first

Then the other one ran up and 1 hit me in the thorax

[rigid light]

Offer peace by wiggling if you're a scav

[sterile veldt]

yea i said "yo wassup"

they don't respond

[open hedge]

What were their names

[rigid light]

Oh yeah voip is a thing

[sterile veldt]

idk it started with an x

[open hedge]

When pmc change their clothes to look like scav (like me) you really just gotta take the L

[sterile minnow]

@open hedge we got em

fucking finally no more searching for this shit

[rigid light]

That's cheap tricks, i like that

[open hedge]

I still wear an armband

I’m not a deceiving man

Only from a distance I am

which is all I need

[rigid light]

Sniping enjoyer, i assume?

[open hedge]

No

People don’t often look twice

Plus my armband is black it doesn’t stick out

Even if you have no armband on there will be either a Usec or Bear patch there

You cannot eliminate your pmc identity

[rigid light]

I have so much shit in my scav case, but everything is needed for a hideout or a quest help

I have 7 PSUs i have no space for anything else

[azure nova]

LFG woods dm me

[fervent turret]

I wouldn’t keep psu’s

I only kept 1 or 2 slot items in my case until I hit flea

[rigid light]

I do need like 5 of them for the lvl 3 generator

[fervent turret]

I think you need mechanic 2 which is lvl 20ish?

[rigid light]

Yes

It's called thinking ahead

[fervent turret]

so you can purch them from flea later

since psu’s arent too valuable

[rigid light]

Ok ditch the PSUs

What else

[shell kindle]

How do I level up fast? I’m completing like 50ish percent of my scav runs but very few PMC runs

Have not managed to complete any quests yet

[fervent turret]

leveling occurs on your pmc runs

and by completing your pmc’s quests

[wintry tusk]

scavs are just for looting / learning map generally i think.

[fervent turret]

some items can be picked up on your scav to provide for the pmc quests

[shell kindle]

Yeah I’ve been trying to do quests on both for runs

[fervent turret]

I scav for money or fun

[shell kindle]

But it be hard

[rigid light]

Technically your scav levels up his own stats even if he has a different name

[shell kindle]

Like how do I play pmc better

[rigid light]

If you don't have equipment, try sneaking

[shell kindle]

I pretty much either get killed out of nowhere or lose a fight

What does that mean lol

[wintry tusk]

knowledge is power, and don't run in the straight open.

gear is important to survive

[rigid light]

Yeah stick to the walls

[shell kindle]

I’ve only been running customs

[fervent turret]

practice maps in offline, learn routes and extracts

play safe and survive

[wintry tusk]

well that's a problem lol customs is death

[shell kindle]

What does that mean though

[rigid light]

Which things need explaining

[shell kindle]

All the pmc extracts on customs are like risky

Play safe and survive

[wintry tusk]

it's seeming like he needs an explanation of how to tarkov

[shell kindle]

The only way I’ve extracted is getting like the forest side spawn and just exiting at the factory side

[rigid light]

That sounds like a start of a Disney song about being a rat

[shell kindle]

But I don’t do anything on those runs really so it feels kinda pointless

[wintry tusk]

i'm just going with what he's asking.. lol

[rigid light]

Well try to do quests while playing as the pmc

[shell kindle]

Right, so my quests are find salewahs and upgrade an m133

And kill scavs but that one is self explanatory

[fervent turret]

I did my salewahs on woods

on my scav

[rigid light]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Gunsmith_-_Part_1

[wintry tusk]

as did i, mostly in the military camp

[rigid light]

Here is the walkthrough of the shotgun quest

[fervent turret]

woods has a lot of food and meds

[shell kindle]

I might try woods then

[rigid light]

You can't buy a GK 02 but you can get it as a scav

[shell kindle]

I’ve been fairly successful finding meds in the construction area of customs

Got a grizzly and two salehwahs

[wintry tusk]

if you have second monitor you can use https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/woods

[shell kindle]

Yeah I use my phone lol

[rigid light]

Map genie is great

[shell kindle]

For the gunsmith, I don’t have jaeger unlocked

[wintry tusk]

woods is the first map i got to learn, pretty wide open and if you know the hot spots you can avoid players for the most part.

[shell kindle]

Should I just wait

[sterile veldt]

bro people that just sit in trees sniping are so annoying

[fervent turret]

if i quest on customs, i tend to stay on the borders of the map and loot/fight scavs

[sterile veldt]

I've died so many times just trying to get shit done and just get sniped by some dude that has 5000 hours sniping

[shell kindle]

Also I’ve died like 5 times from grenades in customs

Rude people

[wintry tusk]

that sounds like customs

[shell kindle]

Lol

[wintry tusk]

not really rude people, it's a PvP game essentially lol

[shell kindle]

I’m hear nothing, just looting a room in a warehouse and I hear the ping but it’s too late

[rigid light]

The scav city is a good place to get kills and loot on customs

I found a vector in the trunk once

[shell kindle]

I’m thinking about waiting the timer out a bit

Till like 15 minutes

[wintry tusk]

are you talkng about the storage garage area? i have as well

[shell kindle]

I rather run into player scavs than pmc

[rigid light]

Yes

[fervent turret]

I def waited for my scav a bunch

[sterile veldt]

I killed some random scav and he had a stacked Vector on him

[rigid light]

Wow

[wintry tusk]

the loot caches under the pipes near RAUF also have good loot

[rigid light]

Prolly yoinked from a pmc

[sterile veldt]

It was an NPC scav

Can they loot pmcs?

[wintry tusk]

yeah, they can loot

[sterile veldt]

ah

[fervent turret]

yeah it can get annoying when they yoink your kill’s loot

[rigid light]

Shoreline is great for the caches

Found a loot lord plushie in one

[coarse axle]

stashes can spawn literally anything

[fervent turret]

^^

[wintry tusk]

yep, the loot pool

[rigid light]

Wait you mean THE ENTIRE LOOT POOL

[coarse axle]

found slicks, gpus, guns etc

[wintry tusk]

yeah, the entire loot pool

[rigid light]

what the fuck

[coarse axle]

anything from strike cigs to slicks

[wintry tusk]

they're Caches for a reason

[coarse axle]

theres a reason people make money stash running pmc

[wintry tusk]

on customs near RAUF one cache had a desert tech MDR and another one had the black MDR 7.62

ritual spots are good too, got a roler from one today, and abandoned village had 3 horse figurines, chainlet, gold chain

[fervent turret]

I looted sniper scav on woods a decent bunch when I was starved for scoped weps

[wintry tusk]

my scav generally gives me snipers and scoped weapons but i rarely go to sniper scav myself

[junior kiln]

Does anyone know where I am?
Trying to learn Reserve 😩

[bold kernel]

You’re in the hermetic bunkers, straight across the map from the big dome building on the mountain

[celest marlin]

the fuck is wrong with this fucking game? every 10 minutes i get "failed to receive backend data" fucking annoying

[junior kiln]

So this area? Thank you

[dawn geyser]

Correct, underground.

[open hedge]

Hermetic is either super peaceful or you will have to go through hell to get there

[tough oyster]

havent played a wipe this far in, do sugar prices keep going up?

same for water filters

should i stock up on both?

[merry vapor]

yes

filters are like 50k and sugars like 75-80k

they will probably stay around that price for the rest of the wipe

[vagrant cargo]

Basically expect a scav in the corner

[bold kernel]

I love finding sugar in raid. I get little hits of dopamine straight to the brain

[scarlet jetty]

Neuron activation

[wintry tusk]

is the gas analyzer in the pump station a spawn chance? or is it static

managed to get the key off a jacket

[blazing brook]

Why is sugar so valuable?

[wintry tusk]

moonshine --> scav boxes

[sterile veldt]

im so done with these fuckin weirdos just shooting with their suppressed guns from a mile away

[open hedge]

I’ve never actually seen it there

[wintry tusk]

just asking because it's optional in the task, and figured it might be in there

[open hedge]

I think it doesn’t spawn there it’s just a key location for extra XP

If there is a spawn it’s very rare

[sterile veldt]

how can i even avoid that

I get shot in the leg or arm or smthn and just insta blacked out

[open hedge]

Skill issue

Just don’t get hit

[open hedge]

Since you’re level 15 just craft it

[wintry tusk]

on the workbench?

[open hedge]

Yes

[wintry tusk]

i don't know too much about the hideout, i upgraded i think to mod my guns but but that's about it. used to have a duo or trio lol but been solo dolo trying to figure it out.

[crimson wharf]

bruhhhh sugar is up to 95k

[wintry tusk]

time to stock up! lol

[digital sable]

time to start running Woods to sell sugar and using 95k scav case instead of Moonshine lol

[dense hawk]

my scav has a SV98 with a FLIR on it, WTF

[whole thistle]

Nice

[still goblet]

Can anyone help me with login?

My launcher wont work

[junior holly]

Some of my daily quests I couldn't finish all of them because of my work hours, will I get more eventually?

[wintry tusk]

my scav had a VSS lol, but no FLIR

[sterile veldt]

some kid was sitting in a god damn box bro

[junior holly]

Inside like solid snake? Glitching?

[sterile veldt]

no inside one of those broken boxes

i think anyways

[junior holly]

Oh damn lol

[sterile veldt]

And the game pushed me off a ledge when i wasn't holding any keys

so i broke both my legs

the only way someone has killed me so far is just by sitting is weird ass spots lmao

[wintry tusk]

that's a real pain in the ass, but those are the same people afraid to fight

[vapid flume]

Just got 2 ledx's in a row

W301 OP

[rigid mirage]

Can someone please help me with task

[junior holly]

@rigid mirage which one

[slow lantern]

I need help with one aswell. Peacekeeper task behind RB-ST

Been stuck on it since early wipe

[dense hawk]

go there and wait till someone opens it, once they are done go do it

[slow lantern]

I've been trying it. Its always locked if i ever make it there. Either that or i die.

[dense hawk]

yep, thats the game

[vapid flume]

well I guess after 2 ledx my luck got drained trio camping bushes

[sullen galleon]

my fir RB-PKPM isnt selling and its been about a week, should i sell it for 2 -3 mil rubles, or just keep it and use it

[merry vapor]

give it to me

[wide nebula]

is the RB-PSP2 key good/rare?

[golden hinge]

look it up on the wiki byo

[wide nebula]

shit ur right

[golden hinge]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/RB-PSP2_key

get in cover after first kill and reorientate , over exposed in one position too long made target orientation on you super easy

[vapid flume]

I couldnt really move first guy had my pinned but I suprised him and got killed too fast by mr makeshift bmg

[wide nebula]

is the akms good for modding?

[golden hinge]

i disagree i saw plenty of time to get back in cover, especially since you were leaning and that was part of your exposure

[golden hinge]

for budget modding, yeah - but not for meta

[wide nebula]

aight

[vapid flume]

If he didnt take out my leg he woulda died though

[wide nebula]

also 1 last thing, i have a mk17 but i really dont like the gun should i
a. strip for parts
b. sell to mechanic as is
C. other

[golden hinge]

take forgrip/optic/supressor/light/pistol grip off and sell to mechanic - if the parts are meta

if they aren't, just take the foregrip and the optic and sell it to mechanic

[wide nebula]

ok

already sold sight

it sold 100k but it was so shit idk how

[golden hinge]

gun itself is pretty expensive on traders

[wide nebula]

dam

[golden hinge]

skier sells it for 137k i think

wait im thinking of wrong gun

xD

[wide nebula]

f

[golden hinge]

mk47

[wide nebula]

ahh

[golden hinge]

mk17 is the scar 762 right

[wide nebula]

yep

[golden hinge]

what is aid earlier applies

similar modding

[wide nebula]

k

[golden hinge]

some guns you can have different buffer tubes and stocks that make them meta

[wide nebula]

any parts off it (like eaid charging haldle etc.) i should keep

[golden hinge]

but the ones u add to the mutant are cheap in general and nto worth keeping for the space

and scar comes with a stock u can't take off

nah

[wide nebula]

k

[golden hinge]

for the scar the modifiable parts are the barrel attachment, forgrip, laser, and optic

[wide nebula]

grabbed them

[golden hinge]

there is also a frontend extension that you can put on but its not worth keeping if you don't like the gun

[wide nebula]

also the suppressor

73k not bad

just put suppressor on rsass im keeping for gunsmith 6

RFB any good just remembered i have it lol

[vapid flume]

Yes

It'll put your enemys in the gutter

[wide nebula]

aight

tbh can i send a pick of my stash and you tell me some things to sell please lmao

[vapid flume]

Ok

[wide nebula]

also stuff in rigs and bag stacks but wed be here for a while if i went through them

btw im lvl 10

[vapid flume]

mdr grips and the 6p1 grip and maybe the keycard holder to therapist

all that otherwise is good

[wide nebula]

need grips

every grip goes to a gun

do that to save space

[vapid flume]

Yes ok thats fine

keycard holder is the only thing you really dont need

[wide nebula]

i have a labs card in there, just have it incase a i get more

[vapid flume]

Oh ok

[spark cove]

I’m really bad at approaching dorms (3 story). What’s the best way to approach it without getting completely bum blasted? I usually go metal stairs and get killed walking in.

[hazy veldt]

Don't.

[wide nebula]

same here lmao, its called ＢＩＧ ＳＨＯＴＧＵＮ

[spark cove]

Great advice @hazy veldt

[wide nebula]

and t5 or 6 armor

it is great right

[spark cove]

I’m thinking maybe push stairs on the inside?

[wide nebula]

depends

ill put it this way, depends on who and how many

and your gun

[spark cove]

Well I’m a pussy, so hearing foot steps makes me shit my pants

Lol

[wide nebula]

i feel that

lmao im level 10 just get hella game sence sometimes from othergames and playing previous wipes

[spark cove]

Yeah this is my second wipe still trying to not have gear fear

It’s messing me up

[dense hawk]

i ran out of pants to shit so i just go in adn kill them

[wide nebula]

so, id say if your doing dorm and you have a ar, shotgun or smg push main stair but befor you do throw a flash/stun then a frag with a short timer, thats my advice

[spark cove]

Ok bring nades

Are f1 good?

[wide nebula]

same man, what helped me a ton tho is offline mode killing ai scavs and learning my guns and maps

[spark cove]

Oh yeah that’s smart

[wide nebula]

if ya place them right

[spark cove]

Maybe I’ll offline more

[wide nebula]

it all depends on frags and timer in my opinion

you want a short timer and a lot of frags then just land it at the top of the stairs

[spark cove]

Ok thanks boss much appreciated

[wide nebula]

np now go have some good raids and kill some PMC's

[spark cove]

🤞

[vapid flume]

I cannot run shoreline resort its like trying to go against killa 3 times

[wide nebula]

[vapid flume]

I got 2 ledxs to start the day and then the timmys start pouring in

[wide nebula]

[dense hawk]

[vapid flume]

I dont wanna spend 2 ledx's just dying

[dense hawk]

Ds nuts?

[fleet epoch]

Can anyone suggest an ETF Discord server that is 21+ and punishes for toxic behavior?

[wide nebula]

im the type of person that gets butt hurt after dieing to timmys with good shit, so i just go in cheap with like a db no armor and some buckshot and kill some people on factory to get rid of stress lmao

[wide nebula]

were they not in your secure container?

[vapid flume]

tghats what I do

[wide nebula]

lol nice

[vapid flume]

I sold them on flea what I meant was I dont wanna spend the 2mil from them dying to some level 1 rats

[wide nebula]

ahh

im lvl 10 so i cant talk lmao

been an "interesting" wipe

[vapid flume]

im lvl 22 its been my best wipe so far

[wide nebula]

levels are taking forever for some reason

[wide nebula]

nice

same here

just levels are killing me

miss lvl 10 flea

[vapid flume]

Cant win them so im just doin this instead

[vapid flume]

Ya at first half the wipe I was not even really playing because I was too demotivated, if I wouldve been playing I wouldve been level 40+

[wide nebula]

same

[vapid flume]

WIpe day killed me I couldnt do anything then

[wide nebula]

hey what is a good ergo is 35 ok for a mid range low recoil ak?

[wide nebula]

didnt get on until 2months after wipe lmaooo

i played onece got shit on then left

[vapid flume]

If its full auto ergo doesnt really matter 35 is fine

[wide nebula]

ok

[vapid flume]

lol I did same things when I was new to the game,

[wide nebula]

are you NA east?

[vapid flume]

yes

[wide nebula]

[dense hawk]

okay scav with a flir going in

[merry tundra]

Anybody doing scav runs?

I’m lvl running scav for loot anybody down?

[junior kiln]

Does the type of surface affect how grenades bounce/roll?
Going off of some of my grenades im going with no

[dull lodge]

anyone tryna play

[ember pendant]

Try throwing a nade through glass consistently. Outside of that not really.

[sterile minnow]

Do tasks

[hazy veldt]

↑

[sterile minnow]

Dont think you'll enjoy farming exp in raids when you need 100k+ to lvl up
Along just unlocking trader rep and so on

[sterile veldt]

bru i just nail someone in the head with 6 bullets and they somehow live

also i somehow got stunned when the stun grenade was through a wall

[lofty plaza]

anyone have any good gun builds at lvl 15 that are inexpensive?

[vital oasis]

this barter worth it?

120k ish

[weak rivet]

I need some help I’m not totally new but I don’t play a lot so I might as well be new and I need help finding a few hideout items since im pretty low on good gear

[dense hawk]

its level 5 armor, some like it some don't, I use it

[vital oasis]

ii like it why dont some?

[dense hawk]

no idea really, it repairs great

[vital oasis]

hmm alright ty

do rogues couent as scavs?

[dense hawk]

bosses

so probably

[vital oasis]

want to take out somee rogues

[dense hawk]

nbever tried it like that to be honest but It might

[vital oasis]

fs fs ty

how is the m1a relative to the sr25? compareable?

[dense hawk]

same ammo class, i think the SR25 migth be able to get lower recoil? ucan play with it in presets and see

[gaunt tapir]

M1A can get lower recoil I think. M1A is notorious for being I believe the lowest recoil .308 DMR

[vital oasis]

hmm im very much enjoying dmrs

[gaunt tapir]

https://youtu.be/t5RZMQg8lX4

Take a look at that then @vital oasis

[dense hawk]

heh i always thought m1 was on the higher end

[vital oasis]

sr25 is my so far but have this m1a in my stash for a while

[vital oasis]

ty ty

[knotty shell]

looking for a duo partner to play with

[bold kernel]

level and what are you trying to do?

[vagrant cargo]

it breaks quick

[dense hawk]

you mean it doesnt have great starting HP?

[vagrant cargo]

no the hp of it goes down fast

effective durability low af

even lower than ghzel i think

its level 5 but only lasts a few shots

[knotty shell]

pretty low lvl i think im an 8 or 9 and just trying to play and get better also trying to knock out tasks to get to 15

[vagrant cargo]

if youre getting sprayed by some shitty ass rounds youd be better off with a trooper for example

[gaunt tapir]

Steel isn't that bad

[vagrant cargo]

korund breaks SO fast

[vagrant cargo]

its not very good

[gaunt tapir]

It's effective durability is worse than Gzhel but it does repair quite a bit better than Ceramic

[vagrant cargo]

only reason some steel armors are good is because they have a ton of hp

[dense hawk]

no ive used it a plenty it is much better than a trooper

[vagrant cargo]

but steel sucks

[vagrant cargo]

its better but it wont last as long is what im saying

trooper can eat bullets while korund durability goes down way quicker

[gaunt tapir]

In terms of answering the question "Is that barter worth it?" honestly yes if you don't have access to Ragman 3 or other, better level 5s, those 4 diaries are like 120k or so. 120k for a class 5 is reasonable.

Both the Korund and the Gzhel won't last very long.

[vagrant cargo]

yep

[gaunt tapir]

Gzhel beats it out but not by a lot.

[dense hawk]

tropper isnt stopping those same bullets you cant compare those two

[gaunt tapir]

Because ceramic

[vagrant cargo]

although the ghzel is better at eating bullets

while it repairs worse

[vagrant cargo]

yes i can

korund lasts like 4 shots

[gaunt tapir]

And better handling. Overall I would say the Gzhel is a better choice for sure.

But if you're talking about strictly a budget choice, Korund then.

[dense hawk]

a levle 4 isnt stopping the same round as a level 5

[vagrant cargo]

ghzel is way better to use but it repairs sooo dogshit

[vagrant cargo]

so what

do you even understand what im saying

the korund will die to shittier rounds if it gets shot a lot

[dense hawk]

DO youj?

[vagrant cargo]

youll stop less shots but youll be able to stop better bullets

[dense hawk]

dont start with the insults

[vagrant cargo]

who did i insult ?

[dense hawk]

we're done

[vagrant cargo]

if you feel insulted by that then damn you are sensitive

eh im right whatever

[dense hawk]

lol of course you are

[vagrant cargo]

im saying factual things

i didnt even say anything is better

i just said what other armor is better at

[clear gulch]

ight ik you guys arguing or whatever, but im just trying to find someone to play with

[vagrant cargo]

go in lfg

[scarlet jetty]

Fairly good, repairs very well

[clear gulch]

oh my bad dint see it

[hazy veldt]

At 26, yes it's a solid choice.

[tribal coyote]

is the 9x39mm PAB-9 worth the investment instead of using SP-6?

or should I just not use the AS VAL or VSS this wipe

[hazy veldt]

Recoil is rough.

Decent damage and penetration tho.

9x39 is slow tho.

Tldr maybe.

[blazing steppe]

How small can the scav raid timer be? i have fence karma little over 6 and the cooldown is little over 5mins. Does it lover at the same rate i gain karma or is it handikapped?

[hasty tendon]

this good?

[dense hawk]

ive seen under 5

[hasty tendon]

i dont think so cuz the ergo but im only lvl 15

[blazing steppe]

@dense hawk can it be like 3 or 2 mins and with how big karma?

[trim stone]

That ammo is flesh meta ammo but it has recoil benefits to it so it makes it aight, but that sight is fuckin weird to put on that build. It'd be better without suppressor and with a diff sight and maybe better grips for more ergo

[dense hawk]

nop idea

[weak rivet]

I need some help I’m not totally new but I don’t play a lot so I might as well be new and I need help finding a few hideout items since im pretty low on good gear and doing quests since I have had literally nothing but bad luck with all of the ones I have

18M and American if it matters

[tribal coyote]

the recoil is pretty high for a gun like that, but T-45M1 does give a slight recoil benefit

[hasty tendon]

ok i didnt make this btw i just killed some a**hole with it and was wondering if i shouyld keep it

[trim stone]

If theyre gonna use that build then the US ammo would be better for slightly less pen with more control

[tribal coyote]

yep

[trim stone]

Yes keep, great gun for suppressive fire and camping tbh lol

[tribal coyote]

I still have to say though whoever built that gun has a really questionable choice of parts

and T-45M1 isn't a very good ammo either

[hasty tendon]

he was lvl 16 idk if he built it but...

[vagrant cargo]

id say yeah

[trim stone]

What's his name?

[hasty tendon]

dont bully him XD

[trim stone]

Wonder if he killed me and took mine and modded it further

[vagrant cargo]

this is unironically not a good build

[vapid flume]

I generally cant play shoreline Ive died about 10 raids in a row now its impossible

[hasty tendon]

ScavHustler

[trim stone]

Ah naw dude that killed me was named something like PoorAfrican lmao

[hasty tendon]

lol

he was a bear and i blew his ass away with my as val

[vagrant cargo]

lvl 15 running as vals ? zamn

[hasty tendon]

I killed a guy who had it like a week ago and finally decided to use it

[vagrant cargo]

i cant help but keep seeing the asval like it used to be

its still good

but it used to be SO MUCH BETTER

[tribal coyote]

how was the recoil on it?

[hasty tendon]

yeah i think it pretty good mine is practically stock and it slaps

[hasty tendon]

um not great not terrible

[tribal coyote]

ah good to know

[vagrant cargo]

i look so fucking stupid

[vagrant cargo]

mf height over bore

[vital oasis]

lets see how this goes

[vagrant cargo]

an actual good gun

wait whats that sto ck

[vital oasis]

uhhh gen 4 stock with hydrolick tube

wanted strike tube for sub 50recoil but couldnt buy at a reasonable price

[vagrant cargo]

hm its still good

[inner granite]

Truly awful

[vagrant cargo]

compare to my stupid looking self

[tribal coyote]

suppressor?

[vagrant cargo]

why not ?

[tribal coyote]

oh im asking about which one it is, should have made it clearer

[vagrant cargo]

BiS for recoil is a suppressor for 762x51

oh right

idk im not good at recognising em

BiS is kac muzzle brake kit with suppressor on it

you get sooo little recoil with that

[inner granite]

7.62 AK meta is the 3 or 4 piece muzzle thing

The lab tac

Lantac

BMD A3

And some over thing

Other

[vagrant cargo]

nah you get lower recoil with the suppressor

[inner granite]

Wack

[tribal coyote]

yeah

the BMD is best when going loud though

[vagrant cargo]

muzzle brake kit is op

[tribal coyote]

yep

the QDC is PK level 3 as well which is an added benefit

[inner granite]

Would rather have it sound like a fucking cannon

[tribal coyote]

ngl I enjoy the sound of suppressed guns in this game a lot

[inner granite]

I suppress when I’m umping

Otherwise I’m dangling my balls over them shooting cannonballs every with my big brake kit

[lusty glacier]

how do i stop being a shitter who dies to shitter ? ;-;

[vagrant cargo]

become a pooper

[lusty glacier]

i peak a guy in dorms as if its a scav and get flechetterd

its my fault but why i do that? it was easy blind and prefire

[inner granite]

Dude fuck flechettes

[stable island]

what ammo should i use for sks if i dont have bp

[tough oyster]

usec stash key, keep or sell?

[inner granite]

prolly keep

[clear gulch]

Keep

Anybody got any tips on how not to fear losing gear in this absolute torture of a game

[pure mist]

die more

and also, just have the mentality that when you go in, you're ready to loose that shit

[clear gulch]

I don’t want to lose it tho

[pure mist]

not saying that you want to, just saying be ready to or expect to loose it

[clear gulch]

Alright, ima go try to get this task done for the 50th time

[vapid flume]

Is your name shloot ingame

[tepid depot]

Hey guys im hunting an L1 and a 3bTG stim. I have the key with blue tape for resort. Is this a good way to get these stims instead of going to labs?

[vagrant cargo]

no thats a stupid name

[echo flower]

hunting down sanitar is probably the best way, anywhere that can spawn a stim has a chance for l1 and 3btg, I got mine from a hidden stash and scav case respectively

[tepid depot]

Which scav case gave you one?

[vapid flume]

Ok I killed someone with that same shotgun and was level 29 on shoreline So I was kinda questioning

[vagrant cargo]

crazy coincidence

i have 2 guns tho

sv98 and shotgun

[vapid flume]

Ah He had rfb tri zip and a shotgun same as that

[echo flower]

[vital oasis]

why does this flea for so much?

whats the barter

[echo flower]

intel 2 is worth investing in

you also need to upgrade all those other things too though lol

[vital oasis]

i havent found any intel 😦

yeah
