[languid tapir]

i need some help just bought the game today

[frail anvil]

tell us what you need and maybe we can help

[languid tapir]

tips and tricks have 1 kill two deaths literaly bought it 2 hours ago

[frail anvil]

learn your maps map knowledge is key, do your quests to level up, learn where people may and may not be so you could decide to engage or disengage

for even more help i recommend checking out #sherpa-info and joining their discord this is a dedicated group of people specifically signed to help new players find themselves in tarkov they have a ticket system so you may wait a bit but they will help you out

[finite terrace]

focus one map, learn where the spawns are around your current spawn so you know where people can come from on the first minutes of the raid, and then try to find landmarks so you know your way around the map, and then try to get into the loot areas

[junior holly]

Why is my game dropping frames all of the sudden, is it the latest Nvidia drivers?

[echo flower]

Anyone just getting too much fuel from your scavs?

I've got like 10 days of fuel

[finite terrace]

fuel from scavs?

[echo flower]

scav case in your hideout

I've gotten ~10 metal fuel tanks

[finite terrace]

moonshine?

i only got 1 or 2 tanks

in like 50 ish

i get many military power filters tho

think i got like 7 out of 12

[echo flower]

damn I barely get any

more of those mil gyro things that are worth 40k lol

[echo flower]

yeah moonshine

[bold kernel]

any ideas for a budget factory loadout?

[frail anvil]

db and go

[echo flower]

either double barrel or saiga with ap-20 or flechette

[brittle canyon]

or 8.5

[bold kernel]

ty ❤️

[umbral smelt]

anybody wanna help me out

[vivid hemlock]

What do you need

[frail anvil]

^^

[umbral smelt]

someone too play with lol

[frail anvil]

lol

[vivid hemlock]

Try #pvp-lfg

There is a lot of ppl there

[prime comet]

just a quickie here

what should i put on this? i'm missing the pistol grip but i want the best one i can get

[amber wave]

Throw an ergo grip on there

[prime comet]

will that be any good full auto?

or shall i stick to single fire?

[limber notch]

What ammo do u have for that? @prime comet

Also is that scope able to swap between ranges?

[tough oyster]

i dont recommend that scope for full auto, or even on that gun in general

[limber notch]

Yeah

[tough oyster]

pretty sure its a fixed 4x

[prime comet]

imma be using it single fire in woods

it has a red dot too

side mounted

[limber notch]

Ammo?

[limber notch]

Dont bother

I wouldnt use it

[prime comet]

it's only for scav killing to get the jaeger quest done for a friendo

[limber notch]

Just buy an op sks and slap a pso on it

Buy 2 20rnd mags and some ps ammo

Also pk06 is horrible

Especially front mounted

[prime comet]

its the one thing i'm dog at in this game

is gun creation

it's so complex compared to anything else i've played

[limber notch]

Its not even that the build is wonky

Its just that the ammo for that gun isnt good at our level

You want to use .300 ap

But you cant buy from flea. You can fine it in some raiders iirc

Forgot where I got mine

[sinful valve]

@rain wing remember when I told you should be able to wear headphones with the trooper mask?

It only works with the xcel

[rain wing]

you mean the mandalorian helm?

[sinful valve]

Yup

[rain wing]

with the earguards on?

[sinful valve]

Yup

@rain wing

[rain wing]

gotcha

[soft timber]

how many gpu would twitch rivals armband be? barter on flea

[rain wing]

isn't xcel like

expensive expensive

[sinful valve]

... sorta kinda

[limber notch]

Yeah, but iirc they are not worth anymore

[rain wing]

but mando helmet 😩

[limber notch]

Lvl 2 faceshield iirc

And the helmet itself isnt even that good

[sinful valve]

It’s an extra thing the bullet has to roll for hit

[limber notch]

The lshz

[sinful valve]

Stat wise that’s good

[limber notch]

Buy a shattered mask

Helmets overrated

[tough oyster]

mando mask + glasses = level 3?

[limber notch]

Or else use a tc 800

[dusky lotus]

why do i get drops

so whats wrong with my settings

[limber notch]

Uncheck all boxes at the bottom

[dusky lotus]

no i like chrom aberration

[limber notch]

Use nvidia reflex

[dusky lotus]

on and boost?

[limber notch]

Sure

Mip streaming if ur struggling

[dusky lotus]

whats thad

like dynamic resolution?

[limber notch]

It uses lower quality textures for most things

[dusky lotus]

how do i get rid of distant pixellation

without it having minimal effect on my performancew

[limber notch]

Try sharpness 0.7

[dusky lotus]

ok

wait ima try tinkering with them ingame

[limber notch]

Some settings need a restart

Not sharpness tho

[dusky lotus]

just quality needs restart

[finite terrace]

is it worth sacrificing ergo for sniper silencer?

[limber notch]

Are you gonna be solely sniping?

[finite terrace]

ye

[limber notch]

If ur gonna be sniping yes. But keep in kind lower ergo = more aim stamina drain

Shouldnt be a problem tho

[finite terrace]

isn't ergo like the gun is unstable in your hands

like you have to counter the gun movement to keep it on the target

if it's low ergo

[finite terrace]

oh so is there a stat to have the gun more stable so you have to counter the gun movement less?

[limber notch]

I forgot the keybind

But u can steady the sight

[finite terrace]

whut there's a key for that?

[dire rock]

hold breath steadies your aim yes

[finite terrace]

what key is it

default

[dire rock]

Lalt

[finite terrace]

holy wtf

thats busted

[dire rock]

it just stops the sway for a time

doesnt help with recoil

technically it shouldnt work but its the only way they can show the role of breathing in the game

[junior kiln]

What do you mean it shouldnt work?

[limber notch]

Technically vaseline wont let you sprint around with 2 broken legs

I think technically as in irl

[smoky moth]

🗿

[finite terrace]

so that's what u get from elite lvl endurance? pressing l alt for steady aim doesn't drain energy?

[limber notch]

Increases stamina (+75% at Elite Level)
Decreases jump stamina drain (-30% at Elite Level)
Increases holding breath time (+100% at Elite Level)
Elite level: +75% stamina
Elite level: Increased hands Endurance
Elite level: Breathing is independent of energy

[smoky moth]

idk, it never bothered me anyway because aiming in already drains your arm energy

[dire rock]

you dont steady your aim by holding your breath realistically

[dire rock]

i dont believe it drains arm stam it has its own timer i may be wrong though

[limber notch]

Cod has the same ‘mechanic’. Hold breath to steady aim

[finite terrace]

also is an m80 bullet on a m700 sniper also only does 80 dmg per shot?

[limber notch]

Only snipers tho

[dire rock]

yes pen/dmg stats dont change with weapon

[sinful valve]

If you’re sniping you’d be better off using m61

[dire rock]

its good enough, since adding a breathing pattern would be too damn extra

[finite terrace]

so snipers are only good for headshots?

[limber notch]

Yeah

[sinful valve]

SVD is good for two taps

[limber notch]

M61 cant one tap tho can it?

[dire rock]

if your talking about bolties then yes they make follow up shots much harder

[sinful valve]

Idk

[dire rock]

unless you boop their noggin

[junior kiln]

Damn TIL
Well when you think about it there isnt a "breath timer" so we're not actually holding our breath right?
Maybe it is just activating the "slow breathing" technique or whatever

[limber notch]

So yeah for bolt action using better ammo is better so u have to hit them less

[dire rock]

well IRL you are meant to fire at the bottom of your breath aka when your body is relaxed and you are able to steady your weapon

your also not supposed to change your breathing pattern

[limber notch]

Is the sr now better than m1a?

[sinful valve]

Hmmm maybe not

If you’re only doing headshots anyway

[junior kiln]

In the right hands a PM is better than an M1A

[limber notch]

Headshots are an exception

[sinful valve]

I’d probably tap a guy’s leg so they can’t run

Then line up the headshot

Who’s prepared for something like that anyways?

[dire rock]

tis why i pre-pop PKs

[limber notch]

I mean, is it my pref that I like sr 25 more then m1a or is it just better?

[dire rock]

whatever you do your best with is the better gun

[sinful valve]

Damn I guess the kedr best gun in the game

[dire rock]

depends on whos holding it

[sinful valve]

Nah I have seen some nasty plays with it

[dire rock]

the person playing matters 100x more than the gear they have, perfect your playstyle before you obsess over your loadout

[prime comet]

imagine killing 4 pmcs then dying to a shotgun scav trying to back out and heal

i hate myself

[dire rock]

been there, done that, lost the loot

[prime comet]

i didnt have much loot

this was at jaegers camp

[finite terrace]

so what's the point of running an m700 when u can run some rifle with the same m80 bullet, or are snipers known to be trash

[sinful valve]

Try kitting up for 20 minutes to get one tapped by shotgun scav 😦

[prime comet]

was helping a friend unlock him

[sinful valve]

Shotgun scavs do not fuck around

[dire rock]

economic reasons

[prime comet]

literally i had 4 blacked out limbs from the firefight just before

[dire rock]

usually they are cheaper

[limber notch]

Bolt action quests and money

[prime comet]

then got tapped

[sinful valve]

Bullet velocity too tho no?

I thought bolties had better muzzle velocity

[dire rock]

why would they?

a 20 inch barrel is a 20 inch barrel

[sinful valve]

Purposely long rifled barrels idk

[dire rock]

firing mech doesnt matter

i dont like giving opinions, however personally i stand by what i said earlier, run whatever you want or are comfortable with, just know that you need to adapt how you play to the loadout you have

if you wanna run a boltie and run around like discount chris kyle go for it, just be aware of your position

[limber notch]

What quests are u doing?

[prime comet]

I wasn’t doing any

I was just getting him jaeger unlocked

We’ve picked up the message and died on the way to extract 4 times

Back to back

[limber notch]

Oh aight, was gonna say If u need another I might join in a couple min

[prime comet]

We’re just hella unlucky

I’d be down a bit later if you’ve got some quests to blast

Gotta do some shopping then blasting tark for the rest of the day

[limber notch]

I can head off on my own for quests. But I can help u do urs

[limber notch]

Alright

[prime comet]

I do need a bit of help with a few

Being the tarcone office one as I don’t have a key

And marking the tankers as I don’t have a clue what to do on that

[limber notch]

I still meed to put iskra because first time I took mre and 2nd time I ran out of energy so had to eat it

I have they key

[prime comet]

Yeah same lmao

For jaeger?

[limber notch]

For office

[prime comet]

Ahh

[limber notch]

Its pretty cheap on flea i think

Not a bad key for some extra loot

For tanker you gotta buy markers

From prapor iirc

[junior kiln]

Anyone know how close you need to be fore the flashbang shell to be effective?
Can we be on either end of the 3rd floor in the office in Factory or does it need to be closer?

[limber notch]

Id say normal shotgun range

Should I buy shoreline keys and try get ledx or just straight up buy one?

[junior kiln]

Personally I would just purchase one but Im not a chad

As zoidberg would say, Why not both?

[prime comet]

I’ve gotta do a quest on shoreline but that map scares me

I’ve only just got used to customs and woods

[junior kiln]

Shoreline has the nickname Snoreline for a reason
Can be pretty dead as long as youre not making a lot of noise and you avoid the Resort
Its really good for scav kills as well: Scav island, Pier, Power Station aka HEPS (Sniper Scav), North Bunker Sniper Scav, Bus Depot, and the military truck just west of the Resort

[topaz violet]

What do people put in their doc case for stuff like shoreline or customs

[sinful valve]

Good sanatorium keys

But if you’re not hitting main resort, try heps, cottage back door and cottage safe key

[topaz violet]

Wouldn't it be better just to use a key tool

[sinful valve]

Yeah

There’s not too much safe loot here

I use docs for customs mostly

[topaz violet]

Ic i just get confused i see ppl use doc case and im like bruh just use key tool

Fair

[sinful valve]

Yeah

I mean, I think it can hold more keys so

There’s that

[limber notch]

Thing is resort is where the ledx is

[open rapids]

Bitcoin-like can be put in docs or sicc, so it's better to bring docs

[sinful valve]

I don’t think I’ve ever found bits on shoreline

Bad luck maybe

[open rapids]

Aaand if you are going to safes there's a chance for gp, veritas, etc

[open rapids]

Shoreline or resort itself?

[sinful valve]

Whole damn map including resort

[open rapids]

Ah... Strange. I got many of coins from rich rooms. Sometimes from safes. Not really often

[limber notch]

If anyone needs to go woods immma get into raid soon

[bleak oak]

Tried to exit at Pier Boat, just to realize that the boat wasn't there... Lost a level 5 Gazhl armor, level 4 helmet, sniper rifle and pistol... bruh. Tried to run to another exit but it was too late. How do I know if the exit is open or not?? Or do you guys just not go to Pier Boat at all?

[robust robin]

I think theres a campfire at the foot of the pier bridge

From what ive heard off others

[bleak oak]

ah, just like smuggler's boat sort of

[limber notch]

wrong extract, this is on shoreline

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A8DScqJOmQ

[bleak oak]

Screw that exit then..

no way to tell

not worth it

[robust robin]

Someone said in the comments that the bouy blinks

[frail anvil]

it doesnt

they removed that

[limber notch]

Could be handy to check it after killing sanitar for example

or if you stop by peir for loot but otherwise just use the others

[frail anvil]

if you wanna know if pier is open you gotta get there and check it yourself theres no way to initially tell if its up or not

[waxen scarab]

Easiest place to get SBIH btw ^

[frail anvil]

that is if people are there

most people go resort or villa

[robust robin]

Or just extract camp

[frail anvil]

that too

[limber notch]

What time does it get full dark?

[frail anvil]

not sure

10

11

[limber notch]

tnx

got into woods at 6pm so I should be ok

[frail anvil]

full darkness begins between 21:50 and 22:15

moonrise is at midnight

[limber notch]

not woods...

fuck

[frail anvil]

you are on reserve my friend

drop your backpack and go to manhole

[limber notch]

muscle memory

[frail anvil]

rip

[proven wave]

is this a good gun

killed a chad with the adar i had

[frail anvil]

if you got ammo for it it can be extremely good

[proven wave]

got it

[junior kiln]

Looks goofy af lol

[proven wave]

bp good?

[frail anvil]

ye

[proven wave]

ok noted

[smoky moth]

guy had BP ammo in it

[proven wave]

yis

[limber notch]

Well thats a quick 250-300k I guess

[proven wave]

allso i got gen 3

the one with the arm protection

[limber notch]

I was running night reserve till 4am last night so my auto pilot decided to put me into reserve

[tough oyster]

flea market be weird sometimes

listed my usec key for 700k, there was only 3 showing on the list

after an hour theres 3 pages of usec keys

[sinful valve]

Bro imagine not being able to buy ap 6.3 on the flea smh

[tough oyster]

is the moonshine barter for the thicc worth it

or just sell my 20 moonshines

[sinful valve]

thicc item or weapons?

[tough oyster]

items

i have 30/50 moonshines for it

almost enough whiskeys and vodkas too

[sinful valve]

roughly 12.5 mil for the case w that barter

it's not bad

[tough oyster]

im about to be crucified lol

[junior kiln]

Is there anywhere that a 20x scope would be good to have?

[frail anvil]

shooter born in heaven

[junior kiln]

Im going on top of the mountain in offline mode and ill see what sawmill looks like with this lol

Yea I guess 20x zoom is pretty nice
This is the tank over by scav village from the mountain, crazy stuff

[frail anvil]

sheeeeeeeeeesh

[limber notch]

damn

Oh right, I actually have to go woods now, not reserve

[junior kiln]

Without zoom btw lol

[open rapids]

Only two maps is playable with x20 imo
And the woods is best for it
Sniper mountain or the rock near exfil next to lake
Some spots on mountain will give u a chance to get kill at sawmill, at jaeger plane, at small camp near village with some tech loot and at camp with med supplies
the rock spot for sawmill, med camp and opposite side of lake if you are very lucky

[violet furnace]

X6 is perfectly fine

[open rapids]

Anyway it's very hard to move a scope with that zoom so you'll probably lose a sight on someone

Aaand damage reduction will probably make your enemy alive:)
I did 8 hits from like 550 meters to pmc m61 rounds and he just walked away healing

[violet furnace]

That is second thing. I think that 100+ DMG rounds coul one shot ppl form 500 meters, but I think only lapua could do that

[echo flower]

scav found an armband

no where near kappa yet but now I got a FIR one

[sinful valve]

Me and glukhar’s guards had a tickle fight 💀

Luger cci vs pst gzh

[echo flower]

who died

[sinful valve]

Not glukhar’s guards

[sinful valve]

Which scav tier is that?

[echo flower]

got it from moonshine

overall a loss

[sinful valve]

Ah yeah that’s rough

Think I’ll stick to 19k and intel

[limber notch]

Bruhhh, I dropped my backpack on woods, killed 2 pmcs and couldnt find it again. Then died to a scav which just shotgunned me in the face as I was looking for my bag 💀

[sinful valve]

Damn

It be like that

[velvet shard]

any tips for staying consistent to the game?

[prime comet]

i did it

i upgraded to the eod edition

[prime comet]

use the same guns

get used to a few and others become easier

[frail anvil]

i will never be friendly to scavs as a scav again

[tulip dagger]

I'm not necessarily a beginner but wanna ask, what are some good money/loot making strategies that aren't too hard/complicated? Now I tend to do woods at night or flechettes on factory, they've helped but I might me missing out?

[frail anvil]

theres alot to do there

[brittle canyon]

every map works

[frail anvil]

reserve has good money

[velvet shard]

know what loot pays the most per slot, what i do sometimes is just grab a big backpack, go to interchange, and go through the back of oli etc and just stuff it and sell items in bulk

[brittle canyon]

if you have success in a map don’t let anyone tell you otherwise… learning a new map/route is not a small task

that said lighthouse is still too good

[tulip dagger]

i like the map especially cuz the rogues are geared but my (mid/high) end pc stutters on lighthouse

[remote kettle]

#pvp-lfg

[charred sapphire]

Thanks!

[fickle swan]

Can someone help?

[low elbow]

do you lose the range finder if you die?

[pure talon]

yes

[fickle swan]

anyone know how to fix?

[pure talon]

used to be 12m for thicc item case in January, now it's almost 18 (https://tarkov-tools.com/barters/)

[prime comet]

whens your next comp? could do with a good sniper lmao

also is this how you play woods?

[jaunty cliff]

You dont play woods

[bold kernel]

Why would you kill people at jaeger plane? They're most new comers doing jaeger quests?

[prime comet]

woods is decent for ranged kills, i enjoy it

until this happens instantly

[bold kernel]

I'm in love with Woods medical tent

[sinful valve]

You get used to it

[sinful valve]

Yeah that was my first favorite loot spot

[prime comet]

first time i've coem across him

and i use his camp as a waypoint for things often

[sinful valve]

Yeah shturman is a real madlad

Fucker will shoot 3 billets in one shot

[prime comet]

yeah i heard him shoot at me then before i knew it i was dead

he blacked out my stomach and arm in like half a second of contact

[bold kernel]

congrats on saving food and water

[prime comet]

its ok

we run it back

and pray

woods is easy for the player kills anyway, its why i live on it

[jolly stratus]

need oce duo that can teach me how to play the game

also 16+

cant have someone younger than me prove me wrong etc

[rigid light]

Lol

[prime comet]

but you have to be 18+ to play the game

[jolly stratus]

uhh

in my country its legal

[prime comet]

the games t&cs say otherwise

[bold kernel]

Show us the form your parents filled out.

[prime comet]

i'm just fucking i dont care

[bold kernel]

maybe a notarized court order and 3rd party binding agreement with dev team?

[jolly stratus]

im a orphan

[rigid light]

What is the best place to murder scavs on Customs

[bold kernel]

The game is not for orphans. Sorry.

[jolly stratus]

dusty depot

[rigid light]

Show me the form signed by your legal guardians

[prime comet]

gas stations

[jolly stratus]

whats a form

[prime comet]

old gas always has some imo

[bold kernel]

old gas station... The road that goes north/south next to tank extract.

[prime comet]

man as much as i love these cosmetics

[bold kernel]

Oh, the lower left tents.

[prime comet]

i wish there was a helmet that went with it

a grassy helmet would be lit

[jolly stratus]

whats the best place to get loot?

like solo

[rigid light]

Thanks y'all operation aquarius 2 is gonna be ez

[jolly stratus]

and doesnt take long time

[bold kernel]

labs

[vivid hemlock]

Factory lul

[jolly stratus]

ok

[rigid light]

Shoreline scav cache run

[prime comet]

factory

[vivid hemlock]

Lighthouse rogues

[prime comet]

i scav factory between pmc runs and make min 100k in like 3 minutes

it's just a free pmc loudout every 25 mins

[bold kernel]

25 😛

[daring warren]

You need a keycard to get onto lab map tho. If you dont have it. Run interchange there is alot of loot there you can get without even running into other players or scavs if you move right

[bold kernel]

We don't know his definition of "long time".

[rigid light]

Oh yeah Interchange

[remote kettle]

His guardians are dead

[rigid light]

You can find hand drills in OLI

[bold kernel]

Then he'd be a ward of the state.

[jolly stratus]

shorter than 15min

[bold kernel]

Imagine a country that spends its time figuring out if orphans can play certain video games and brokered EULA changes for its citizens.

All scav runs are shorter than 15 minutes.

[rigid light]

Imagine having a scav timer above 20 mins

[bold kernel]

because he does factory and shoots other scavs, CoD style

[rigid light]

Negative scav karma L

[jolly stratus]

what?? aren't you meant to kill the other people????

alt + f4

jk jk

idk

[bold kernel]

||I feel like I know why the parents aren't around.||

[remote kettle]

Buy sight, look what mounts/rails it needs, get that, put together and done

[rigid light]

Well not other scavs as a scav unless you want to shot on sight by ai scavs

Use iron sights like a real pmc

What gun

Oh yeah it's a gun for a civilian market those have bad sights

But STM 9 seems like a bad gun

A semi auto 9 mm

[remote kettle]

No sight*

[rigid light]

Just get a vityaz

[rigid light]

Of course, if that's the option

[prime comet]

good old woods

2 pmcs down

2 snipers gained

like taking candy from a baby

[bold kernel]

I love how much suppressors go for.

[remote kettle]

Between 20k and 100k?

[rigid light]

20k is piss baby amount of roubles

[remote kettle]

And a piss baby suppressor

[rigid light]

Tru

Just scav and loot bodies you'll find some eventually

If they're gonna fit your gun is a whole other story

[bold kernel]

got a wafflemaker suppressor yesterday. Sold for good.

[rigid light]

I have a suppressor that cost as much as the gun that it is attached to

[jaunty cliff]

What gun?

[bold kernel]

I buy some 30k VPS suppressors sometimes. I'm not sure how much it helps. My audio is so bugged, so I figures others are, too.

[split dagger]

Well guns themselves aren't really good and mods make them better

[prime comet]

ok they werent pmc

they were guards

[jaunty cliff]

You only have 1 pmc gun

[prime comet]

guessing that was shturmans guards?

[bold kernel]

I got lucky yesterday when I heard some walking that sounded like it was right next to me. it was someone ~30m away.

[jaunty cliff]

Yes and shturman

[prime comet]

still not too bad

went in with an op sks and a dream

made my money back with just the sugar

[jaunty cliff]

You should probably bring armor and shit into your raids

[finite terrace]

why do i feel so deaf when using a face cover on a regular helmet

[bold kernel]

54r is so weird

[prime comet]

probably should

but i like doing woods with the sneaky beaky headgear

[robust robin]

Kills players and still comes out with a 3m

No way youre on supplier at lvl 17 btw

[jaunty cliff]

They weren't players

[prime comet]

what ones that?

[robust robin]

Players in quotation marks

[prime comet]

yeah they were guards and player scavs

not pmcs, one pmc who had no armour anyway

[jaunty cliff]

It was a pmc then shturman and his guards

[prime comet]

regardless, it's completely worth it

there's some money to be made here

[robust robin]

Cringe woods

[jaunty cliff]

Ehhh its really just a few mediocre guns

[sterile veldt]

bro why can't people here just be like nice every once and a while

[robust robin]

Snb is nice tbf

[prime comet]

65k svd 60k suppressor on the m700

plus sugar, and it cost me nothing

[robust robin]

...except the opsks

[jaunty cliff]

The 545 probably has good ammo

[robust robin]

Ignogliek

[prime comet]

that i threw into the fullest bush i could see

so if i dont get it back

fair play to whoever found it

[prime comet]

ppbs?

[robust robin]

Highest pen 545

[jaunty cliff]

That's one of the best

[robust robin]

Shit though

[prime comet]

i'll sell it all anyway

ok cant sell that on the flea

[robust robin]

Cant flea it just use it when you use 545

[prime comet]

i guess i'll use that one

i'll use that 105 on my next go then

is there anything i should do to it?

i'm dog with guns on this game

[robust robin]

Foregrip, laser and buttpad

Or just use the flashlight as a laser

The durability is really bad so i would just replace the core

[prime comet]

79 is that bad??

[robust robin]

Anything lower then 90 is bad but thats could just be me

Youll jam abit on full ayto thats all

[prime comet]

aight i'll see what i can do

just tryna get a foregrip and laser sorted

got the flashlight and laser already

just cant get a grip on it

[crimson wharf]

can you not take cases with you into raid?

[jaunty cliff]

Just ammo cases, docs, injector, keycard, sicc and keytool

[crimson wharf]

i swear i thought i saw footage of being able to have weapon cases in raid

[robust robin]

You could take thiccs in before, no more

[prime comet]

is any of this needed for the future hideout stuff?

[robust robin]

Removed marked spawning big cases too

[remote kettle]

Removed. You used to be able to take any case into raid

[jaunty cliff]

You used to be able to

[crimson wharf]

whyd they get rid of it?

[robust robin]

Rmt

[prime comet]

wait that power filter

570k

my scav spawned with it

oh

[crimson wharf]

ohhhh

do cases still spawn in raid at least?

[azure nova]

LFG looking to help new players dm me

[pure talon]

soon (tm)

[prime comet]

noice

where do items go when you remove them from the flea?

[pure talon]

if you cancel an offer?

you get them back

you lose some flea rep and ofc the flea commision is paid up front

but i do it all the time when i see one of my items is choked and some others are spiking

[prime comet]

oh noice, ty ty

[crimson wharf]

so do they still spawn?

[pure talon]

only small containers

[robust robin]

Nope not in mark

[pure talon]

like ammo boxes, docs cases, keytools, etc

[crimson wharf]

why did they get rid of them spawning as well?

[robust robin]

Bsg

"Slow down progression"

[crimson wharf]

ahhh

[robust robin]

Main goal of this wipe to them

So they decided to add a map that can make 1mil+ a run

[pure talon]

Customs was the first map they added to the game, lol xd

[crimson wharf]

how do you even make that much on lighthouse?

[robust robin]

Chalet, rogues, along shoreline

[pure talon]

You can make 1m doing a scav run on Customs, lol

[crimson wharf]

i've never made that much on customs

[robust robin]

Your point? I never said it wasnt?

Lighthouse has a high loot spawn directly next to a extract thats always open

[crimson wharf]

which extract?

[robust robin]

Red rebel

[pure talon]

A joke. And I'm tired of the fact that 80% of pmcs I see on that map runs butt naked.. worse than reserve.

[robust robin]

Why wouldnt you when you can just kill rogues for gen4s and mk47s

[crimson wharf]

i love running mk47s

[prime comet]

I miss mine

I had it for 2 raids and died

[crimson wharf]

and they come with mags that come loaded just for me

[robust robin]

Who doesnt its the best gun in the game

[prime comet]

I had it at like level 7

[crimson wharf]

arguable

[prime comet]

Murdered a pmc trying to do my customs quests

[robust robin]

Go on what gun is better...

This guys gonna say 556 is better then mk lol

[dawn geyser]

I agree, arguable

[crimson wharf]

i would say most of the 7.62x51 round assault rifles

[dawn geyser]

.308 kicks butt

exactly

[crimson wharf]

especially since higher tier ammo is more easily available in 7.62x51

[robust robin]

Who needs that when you have bp, although i would definately call all 308 guns good

[crimson wharf]

not everyone has bp though

[robust robin]

Yeah but eod doesnt need to they already have gamma, more power to standard

[crimson wharf]

what does eod have to do with bp?

[robust robin]

More incentive to do a questline that should reward people

[dawn geyser]

Compare both calibers
M993
Projectile speed 910 m/s
MAI AP
Projectile speed 730 m/s

top rounds for both

[crimson wharf]

you never see people use MAI though

[dawn geyser]

Right.

Just giving him the best scenario

[crimson wharf]

"best"

[robust robin]

Eod uses cba doing punisher because the case is worse, but bp unlockw with punisher

I say that as in most players who have eod

That arent going for kappa

[crimson wharf]

ohhhh

still like i said, if you were to even compare BP to m80, m80 slaps infinitely harder

especially at longer ranges since it has higher muzzle velocity

and more base damage

[robust robin]

Idk what you're smokin

[crimson wharf]

smokin on that m80 pack

[dawn geyser]

What's your arguement Maxie lol

[robust robin]

Bp has better pen

In the end do what you do but whatever

Mk doesnt care anyway

[crimson wharf]

not so much pen though that it completely outclasses m80

[robust robin]

Also the fact the main competition of mk47 last wipe was 556 and now theyre shit now makes it even better

[dawn geyser]

Sure it pens a pinch more but the damage on M80's is much higher

Not only that but
MK47 has a ROF of 650
Sa-58 has a ROF of 700

[robust robin]

Who does leg meta on 762 lol

[dawn geyser]

I never said you should leg meta on a 762

[wary valley]

Cba to do punisher

[robust robin]

If you arent going either chest or head you deserve to die in a gunfight

[wary valley]

But i can craft bp

[crimson wharf]

i've done leg meta with an sks on woods because i had to for a daily

[robust robin]

In game

[dawn geyser]

LOL THAT EDIT

Keeping yourself safe

[robust robin]

I know mods will try anything - allegidly

[crimson wharf]

still more than 1000 a round

[prime comet]

anyone got any woods quests they want a bit of gunpower for?

i've gotta extract it 5 more times so i'll be free to help

[robust robin]

Isnt m62 1k a round

[crimson wharf]

i'm not arguing for m62

i'm arguing for m80

in my mind m62 is worse

only slightly

[robust robin]

Tracer doesnt really matter

Unless youre gonna miss many shots in sniping and someone can predict when youre gonna shoot

[jaunty cliff]

M62 has more pen so its just better

[prime comet]

i hate spending 250 a round

because i know i'll shoot once and get capped, wasting 60 rounds

[crimson wharf]

3 pen more than m80

[robust robin]

It helps alot with class 5, 3 more pen can be +50% chance to pen class 5

[jaunty cliff]

Ok? Its still more and thats the difference between life and death against class 5

[crimson wharf]

more or less

[jaunty cliff]

What do you mean more or less. Its a big difference against class 5

[crimson wharf]

that still isnt a high percent

[jaunty cliff]

Its twice as high

[robust robin]

When you do armour damage the % chance goes up

[prime comet]

literally more than double

[crimson wharf]

it doesn't change much in the initial shot, however i am pretty sure that in the follow up shots yeah it would help a lot

from taking three shots to get a high pen change to two shots

i will admit that much

[jaunty cliff]

Its still double the chance on the initial shot

[pliant sail]

Wait is there always a chance for it to penetrate?

[prime comet]

what is my luck today

[jaunty cliff]

Yes

[pliant sail]

Damn

[prime comet]

i spawned with intelligence on my scav

[jaunty cliff]

?

[crimson wharf]

theoretically

[prime comet]

is it worth keeping it??

[jaunty cliff]

Just sell it on flea

[pliant sail]

Is it because pen stat fluctuates or is it just a chance

[robust robin]

Theres a % chance to fragment and 1 shot someones thorax

[jaunty cliff]

Theoretically a 9x18 pm gzh could go through a slick

[crimson wharf]

some ammo has zero chance to pen armor as well, for example 9mm rip versus a gzhel

[jaunty cliff]

Ive had shitter ammo like that go through an altyn and one tap me

[crimson wharf]

probably wasn't a one tap

[jaunty cliff]

What do you mean. Its easy to tell if you get hit in the head more than once

[prime comet]

well, 450k from the scav run

ofz and an intel in one

this game loves me today

[crimson wharf]

i mean a vector fires 15 rounds a second which could probably burn through an altyn

and it only takes 11 shots of pst to burn through an altyn

[jaunty cliff]

As I said. Its quite easy to tell if you get shot in the head more than once. Especially getting shot through an altyn face shield

[crimson wharf]

As I said. It takes 11 shots to burn through the durability of an Altyn, a Vector can fire 15 in one second. You mean to tell me you could tell if you got shot 11 times in the head in a span of less than a second?

[jaunty cliff]

Yes, you can visibly see the face shield even for a second after you die

[prime comet]

they cheating if they land that many instantly to the head with the vector

[crimson wharf]

i know, just saying that in theory it could be done

[prime comet]

i might need some assistance playing tetris

my inv is a mess and even though i have shit tonnes of room

it's stressing me out lmao

[crimson wharf]

sell shit

[bold kernel]

Stop hoarding.

[prime comet]

the only thing i may be hoarding is rigs

but i die enough to keep em

[crimson wharf]

then just organize your stuff

[prime comet]

idk if any of this is like gash

[crimson wharf]

it looks fine to me

[limber notch]

seems good

[prime comet]

nothing worth just getting rid of?

[limber notch]

in that ss it looks fine

u gonna use the bastion?

if not sell it

[prime comet]

i probably will for customs

it'll do for dorms right?

[limber notch]

compared to my stash urs is beautiful xD

[crimson wharf]

right

[crimson wharf]

get a mag case holy shit

[limber notch]

meh

[prime comet]

see i normally sell mags

because theyre cheap enough to buy as and when you need em

[limber notch]

Is it even worth the money

[crimson wharf]

it was for me, but that's also because i like hoarding everything else

[bold kernel]

I have 2 mag cases.

[crimson wharf]

i will do anything i can to save space

[limber notch]

yesterday I got 2 med cases, a food case and a 2nd ammo case because of storage problems

[bold kernel]

Doesn't it feel great?

[limber notch]

yeah

[crimson wharf]

some pro tips right here

[limber notch]

@prime comet u going dorms?

[prime comet]

was thinking about it soon

i've basically learned my way around woods so i'm gonna move on from it

[limber notch]

lmk if u want to duo

Woods today was aids for me. Bunch of ppl in bushes

[prime comet]

not gonna say i'm one of them

[crimson wharf]

i still need to get my shooter kills on woods 😈

[prime comet]

but i'm definitely one of them

[polar badger]

can Fence sell 60 round ak mags? i need one for gunsmith 1 and i dont have the flea / workbench yet

[limber notch]

if ppl sell it to him yes

but u can get it from raiders

[bold kernel]

is there a way to get an akm under 70 recoil

[crimson wharf]

its lavatory not workbench

[limber notch]

anyway, lmk if u want to duo customs, imma prob be in reserve till then

[prime comet]

also thanks for mentioning that mag cases exist @crimson wharf

[polar badger]

i'm too bad for that

[prime comet]

so much space saved from it

it's kinda amazing

[limber notch]

Its bigger then I remeber it being

[crimson wharf]

of course. if you are looking to save some space too then check out the picture i sent a few minutes ago

[limber notch]

MIght get some

[limber notch]

what region?

[polar badger]

oh thanks for letting me know, i'm still missing some stuff anyway tho, i guess i just need to get lucky

EU

[crimson wharf]

customs is the key to all early game problems

[limber notch]

If u wanna come imma go kill some raiders

[prime comet]

i'd come

[limber notch]

sure

[prime comet]

i've done nothing but sort inv for like 20 minutes now

[limber notch]

U down for night reserve?

[prime comet]

i've not touched reserve ngl

but i'd be down to try

[polar badger]

i cant play right now just messing around in my inventory, thanks anyway though 🙂

[limber notch]

nichola I can get a 60 rnd for u

[limber notch]

ok

[polar badger]

can that fit in my pouch?

[limber notch]

think so

nvm no

cant be put in pouch

[polar badger]

aw

dont worry i'll find a way

[limber notch]

ok

[polar badger]

i'm only 1 level away from the flea market anyway

[limber notch]

Geller when u wanna get in raid lmk

[prime comet]

yeah i shouldnt be long

[limber notch]

k

[jaunty cliff]

It wont work they have to be fir for ice cream cones

[molten imp]

hey guys im new....

[limber notch]

prob for gunsmith

[prime comet]

just this left to sort

[jaunty cliff]

Vendor it all except m80 rounds

[remote kettle]

Sell mags that are cheap and ez to get, like the metal stanag mags, pp91 mags, vpo 215 mags and the 6l23 mags

[remote kettle]

Sell knives, dbat qdc brake

Try to get a junkbox

[prime comet]

that's basically my whole inv now

[jaunty cliff]

Do you have eod

[prime comet]

yeah

i upgraded to it today

[jaunty cliff]

You can afford to hoard

[prime comet]

i keep ammo in my ass now

[limber notch]

smart

Not so many mags now

[prime comet]

220k for the mag case was so worth it

[jaunty cliff]

If you have flea I would reccomend replacing the analign pks with ibuprofen

[limber notch]

vaseline is pretty cheap rn too

but ibu is good

[jaunty cliff]

And at some point replacing that with an injector case and just use stims

[prime comet]

whats the difference in the two, just the amount?

[limber notch]

duration

[prime comet]

i also have lots of vaseline too

[remote kettle]

Ibu way longer duration

[prime comet]

and morphine

[jaunty cliff]

Length and side effects

[limber notch]

4/4 pk is 90 sec ibu is 280

[prime comet]

i've been saving the morphine

[jaunty cliff]

I thought it was 300?

[prime comet]

got told i needed it for quests but havent come across the quests yet

[limber notch]

vaseline is 300

[prime comet]

80 seconds is nalgin

[jaunty cliff]

No ibuprofen

[limber notch]

ibu is 280

[remote kettle]

U need 4 for an early therapist quest

[jaunty cliff]

Did they lower it at some point

[limber notch]

not sure

[prime comet]

ahh ok

i'm still on the gas analyser one

lmao

[remote kettle]

Fir

Its after the gas ones

[limber notch]

i found gas an while doing this reserve run

[jaunty cliff]

Interchange scav for gasan

[prime comet]

any of these for reserve?

[limber notch]

my friend found 4 gas an in 1 run

[prime comet]

also where on inter

[limber notch]

back of stores

along the storage area

[limber notch]

rb-vo

[remote kettle]

Craft wb1

[jaunty cliff]

Techlight, texho, rasmussen and german stores

[limber notch]

we can stop and hit rb-vo if we spawn close

[prime comet]

i need night vision set up then if we're doing it

idk how to do that

never done a raid at night

[limber notch]

rb-bk and smp are the keys that we will most likely hit

no need for nv

the pb-psXX keys are good but not part of this run

[crimson wharf]

what do you think is the most used scav extract on lighthouse?

[limber notch]

I never played lighthouse

[crimson wharf]

actually the best map

[limber notch]

dont even know pmc extracts

[crimson wharf]

if you like reserve you will love lighthouse

[astral gorge]

is there anyway to put any mods i want on a weapon and buy them after ive designed it

[tacit ferry]

any keys for shorline anyone recommends me getting

[limber notch]

Cool, Ill look into it then

[jaunty cliff]

E310 and e328

[crimson wharf]

you totally should, the rogues are definitely way more easy to kill too and extracts aren't as dicey as D2

[limber notch]

I heard the loot on is is crazy but never tried it tbh

[crimson wharf]

super crazy, just got an mtube out of a scav raid. oh, the price went down

[split dagger]

E107 w109 and w104 I think

Let me check

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

All the good keys

[limber notch]

check pestily key tierlist

[split dagger]

That tier list is months old

This is recent

[limber notch]

he updated it

[crimson wharf]

what are the odds of me getting a pilgrim as a scav?

[limber notch]

Imma be in duo vc 15

[robust robin]

Craft?

[split dagger]

They are pretty common I see scavs with them all the time

[crimson wharf]

knowing my luck i would find one after the craft

[crimson wharf]

where at?

[prime comet]

so what do i need for night reserve

if not night vision?

[split dagger]

Customs

[prime comet]

i can afford it np @limber notch

[split dagger]

Flashlight

[crimson wharf]

must be nice, never found any with pilgrims

[limber notch]

and a flashlight

gear and light

[split dagger]

Turn your gamma up and use flashlight when u hear something

[limber notch]

u can use postfx

[robust robin]

You wont find them when you are looking fir them kind of thing

[split dagger]

You will blind the hell out of people with flashlight

Ew rpk

[crimson wharf]

i have good luck when it comes to stuff like that

[limber notch]

💀

[split dagger]

Just craft it

I have like 20 pilgrims in my stash

[crimson wharf]

i refuse

[limber notch]

rpk isnt that bad

[crimson wharf]

i gotta get rid of all these empty fuel cans, so i would rather just find one

[prime comet]

cool?

[crimson wharf]

i fucks with the pm

[prime comet]

the pm is so good

[limber notch]

whats max dura on that armour?

[prime comet]

the fire rate is disgusting

uhh idk

35

[crimson wharf]

is no rear sight still the meta for mp7, i have 3 sitting in my stash that i am gonna use

[split dagger]

Yes

[limber notch]

The armour has the stats of lvl 3 with 25 dura rn

[crimson wharf]

mp7a1 or a2?

[prime comet]

it'll do

[limber notch]

alright

[split dagger]

That armor is dodo

[limber notch]

U can get a worse helmet tbf

[split dagger]

I would run no helmet with that armor

[limber notch]

I run no helmet most of the time

[prime comet]

that's what i have atm

[split dagger]

If ur going reserve raiders will most likely have helmets

[prime comet]

ok so no helm? lmao

might aswell spend out on better armour then right?

[limber notch]

Im good

[split dagger]

Bastion is a pretty good helmet and with that armor it just wouldnt be good combo

[prime comet]

better armour no helm

hope to get one off a raider?

[split dagger]

I use use trooper or that avs

[split dagger]

With tc 2002

[limber notch]

tc 800

[crimson wharf]

evasion at lvl 15?

[brittle canyon]

20 rounders lol

[tacit ferry]

19

[split dagger]

Insure your helmet if ur going to fight raiders so U can drop it

[tacit ferry]

found it in a stash

[crimson wharf]

ohhh

[remote kettle]

Its not expensive. I Use a bear armband

[limber notch]

Evasion band can be found in stash

[tacit ferry]

havent updated name mb

[brittle canyon]

what ammo is that

[split dagger]

Use 30 rounders

You will burn through 20 rounders

[prime comet]

i do have a full tropper armour

[crimson wharf]

i swear everything's price went down this week

[prime comet]

trooper*

[limber notch]

if we run into ppl trooper is good, if not then ur armour is alright

[prime comet]

aight lets pray

[split dagger]

Remove m80 from ur ass

[prime comet]

i'm using gear i dont care too much about so it's ok

[remote kettle]

Best t4 armor No contest

[tacit ferry]

still

havent

[prime comet]

i have done

[split dagger]

Thats not the ammo for ak 103

[tacit ferry]

🦾

[remote kettle]

Then do

[prime comet]

should i grab vaseline instead of analgin?

if so, then i'm ready

[remote kettle]

Vaseline or ibuprofen

[tacit ferry]

i hate woods so much

[limber notch]

vase or ibu

imma restart my wifi rq

[remote kettle]

I mean same, still a simple quest

[tacit ferry]

fair

[crimson wharf]

he needs that m80, best round in the game

[split dagger]

Not with ak

[crimson wharf]

he still needs it 😉

[prime comet]

better?

[crimson wharf]

yeah

[prime comet]

could do with a foregrip on this ak

but not sure how

[brittle canyon]

why the sidearm

[prime comet]

swapping is quicker than reloading

[remote kettle]

Buy the rk6 from skier

[crimson wharf]

i mean if you want more gamma space you could always toss the grizzly

[bold kernel]

grizzly seems silly.

[brittle canyon]

yea but makarov tickles

[remote kettle]

And make sure youve got at least bp in the ak

[crimson wharf]

ur silly 😉

[brittle canyon]

and don’t bother insuring pistols it’s super easy to steal

[crimson wharf]

what ammo should i be using for a mp7?

[prime comet]

i have bp and pbbs?

[brittle canyon]

subsonic minimum

[limber notch]

im back

[prime comet]

ppbs

that one

[limber notch]

pbbs is 7n39 so the best 'technically'

[crimson wharf]

i have a bunch of FMJ SX, should i just sell it on the flea and use Subsonic?

[brittle canyon]

fmj is better than sub

[prime comet]

and i;ve got that rb-vo marked key in my ass

[brittle canyon]

apsx is best

[limber notch]

whats ur ign

[prime comet]

Gellerian

[crimson wharf]

yeah but i don't have enough to where i wanna use it, and it is selling for like 4k a round

[remote kettle]

Bp is Also cheap on flea, only a few hundred roubles

[brittle canyon]

pk 3

[crimson wharf]

pk 3?

[limber notch]

im in 2 man 15

[remote kettle]

Peacekeeper ll3

[crimson wharf]

i do not haves

[brittle canyon]

at level 35?

jeez

[scarlet jetty]

Peacekeeper 3 is easy

[remote kettle]

Bro How? You havent Done any pk quests?

[crimson wharf]

i have been focusing elsewhere

[robust robin]

When you have eod

[scarlet jetty]

Even without it

Peacekeeper quests are simple

[split dagger]

I mean if u do wet job tasks youll have peacekeeper to any rep u want

[brittle canyon]

nah pk2 is pretty much free, and pk3 you just need to tolerate shoreline

[robust robin]

You save like 10 shoreline raids early to get to pk3

[crimson wharf]

easy, but i focused punisher before i got pk quests so i didn't do them all together

[brittle canyon]

inefficient

[split dagger]

I still didnt finish punisher and im 39

[crimson wharf]

i am aware, but the epsilon though

[tacit ferry]

good woods gun?

[robust robin]

Cough cough eod

[crimson wharf]

i've had it for a few days and i love it

[crimson wharf]

eod ruins the game for me

[remote kettle]

Ye

[robust robin]

Gives you an item from the beginning that is stronger then an item you get mid to end game for peopke who dont pay more

[scarlet jetty]

yes

[astral gorge]

do i lose rep for killing rogues

[tacit ferry]

modifications expensive i imagine?

[crimson wharf]

true, but also why would i pay more for less game?

[bold kernel]

because you have a wife, a child, and 2 jobs 😄

[robust robin]

Bad at game

[crimson wharf]

valid, but i personally don't think i am bad and i enjoy the grind

[remote kettle]

You don’t need to mod it much. Suppressor grip and scope. It starts getting expensive with new stocks and handguards

[robust robin]

Im standard

[crimson wharf]

standard gang

i just looked at my stats and i might be kinda bad

[scarlet jetty]

How much time have you put in the game?

[tacit ferry]

alr ty

[bold kernel]

I wish the stats timer had an entry for "in-raid time"

[crimson wharf]

558 hours, but i have also fallen asleep with tarkov open or will have it running in the background

[robust robin]

How many raids is more informative

[bold kernel]

They already give that.
