[pure talon]

mutant is 130k @ skier

[echo flower]

I only get HK's from my moonshine

[pure talon]

I only do 15k these days...

first month every moonshine was 1m+

good days

[tough oyster]

i get a lot of aseas, m cables, power filters, etc

[frail ridge]

Hey all! i was wondering, i have a shotgun drum mag and it will not allow me to load it, i unloaded it and the shells that came out refuse to go back in, how does this work???

[tough oyster]

keeping them for solar panel

[pure talon]

in raid or in stash?

[frail ridge]

currently in stash

[pure talon]

try to restart the game

[frail ridge]

thank you! ill keep you posted

[shell kindle]

Possibly you are putting in the wrong ammo

That looks the same

[frail ridge]

same ones that came out

i dont have shotgun shells just out in the open and it was the same number that was previously loaded

[echo flower]

mine is currently being crafted, looking forward to halving my gas upkeep

[tough oyster]

i just need 60k euros

[junior kiln]

While it sounds nice, i havent done the math but I wonder if turning Blue Gas into Magazine Cases into Scav Junk boxes would be more profitable than the savings 🤔

[burnt grail]

Is the alcohol barter for the THICC cases worth it or worth to just sell the moonshines? Ive got 47 moonshine now im getting pretty close

[tough oyster]

thats like 12mil fml

[echo flower]

I just started to sell everything on flea in euro just converting the price that anyone else would pay with roubles + like 5 Euro and got 60k in 4 days

[smoky moth]

i used 10 million for the solar panel

[pure talon]

btw next time you win the giveaway remind me to set you up in a turtle armor 😉

[smoky moth]

35 million for the stash level 4

[pure talon]

not worth it

[smoky moth]

bsg making standard edition lives harder

[frail ridge]

it works thank you! didnt think of restarting

[junior kiln]

haha sure thing

[tough oyster]

35mil for stash 4? u can get 2 thiccs for that

[smoky moth]

the purpose of money is to use it, so i did

[shell kindle]

48x10?

[smoky moth]

i was running out of space in my stash anyways

too much lvl 4 armored rigs

[shell kindle]

If you’ve got the money why not

[pure talon]

i know, but like the gentleman above said, a single stash upgrade give you additional 200 slots, you can get almost same amount for 17m by buying thicc items case

[echo flower]

maybe but btc3 though

[smoky moth]

i'd have a bigger stash than fuck tons of item cases that i have to navigate through

it's only a matter of time when my stash isnt enough anymore

[echo flower]

I got a thicc items from the therapist quest and I already struggle to find room after it opened up so much lol

[pure talon]

whatever rocks your boat, but as a standard account player this setup is much more preferred for me

[smoky moth]

the thicc item cases that you have scares me

and you give out free loadouts

[echo flower]

how many wipes have you played?

[pure talon]

4

[pliant sail]

what key opens this door on reserve?

[pure talon]

what a great quiz question that is

can we vote for a skip?

[junior kiln]

Theres liek four of them, which floor and which building?

[pliant sail]

i forgot

does each door have a specific key?

[echo flower]

I'd ask you to teach me your ways, but you showed me your customs scav run videos

[bold kernel]

Can you show us the coins case?

[junior kiln]

Gunna be one of the RB-ORB1/2/3 and RB-OB key i think

[smoky moth]

oh hell nah, 10 rows of bitcoins

[pure talon]

12 btc, 2gp, im giving my coins to low level non-eod players

[smoky moth]

[junior kiln]

If this isnt a hacker name I dunno what is

[pure talon]

i have anecdata about how that works in bsgs favor 😉

a good friend of mine got inspired by me playing tarkov so he decided to give a try as well... mid-late wipe...

2 wipes ago

when after 4 weeks everyone was running in slicks with meta guns and meta ammo

[smoky moth]

4 weeks in i'd still be at lvl 12

[pure talon]

imagine trying to do the pocket watch quest with sks and paca when literally everyone else on the map has a slick and m4

but he persisted

he tried

[junior kiln]

gotta be a sneaky snake

[smoky moth]

wait what was everyone's wipe start experience?

[pure talon]

he had a good teacher

[bold kernel]

I got to level 21 after 5 weeks, but I'm playing way too much 😄

[pure talon]

but after 4 days he deleted the game

[pliant sail]

how far are we into this current wipe, cause i bought this game like a month ago

[smoky moth]

i heard people camp quest locations at the start of the wipe

[pure talon]

after he realized that hes spending more time trying to squeeze that one fucking slot in his stash, than he's actually playing the game...

[bold kernel]

seems like a waste of time for high-performing players.

[junior kiln]

i dont think high-performing players are the campers lol

[bold kernel]

Bah, good point. I can't put together a full cogent thought!

[pure talon]

i convinced him to give it another try on a condition that ill buy him every single box in the game to help him with the stash mgmt

[junior kiln]

its called Tarkov Brain, it fries everything up there when you have a few bad runs, especially Factory

[pure talon]

and you know what? not only he stayed, he enjoyed the game, but right before the wipe he bought the eod xd

[bold kernel]

My doctor said no more factory.

I camped a dead PMC once. I felt so bored.

[junior kiln]

lol well hopefully it was worth it for them
Tarkov is defintiely a good but frustrating game

[bold kernel]

I put my pilgrim on him

[whole thistle]

skill issue

[bold kernel]

Skill Gap -> Report for cheating

last scav run I found this on a PMC. Shit like this excites me so much.

[junior kiln]

I mean I was hiding in a bush and died from a headshot from a gun i didnt hear fire but i mean... maybe

[pliant sail]

sounds about right for tarkov

[junior kiln]

The name is EastSideCarries, literally in the name
Does carries on East coast servers or im wrong i dunno

[bold kernel]

the tarkov flea market offers are across all servers, right?

[junior kiln]

Que up the "Aliens!" gif lol

[pure talon]

yes

theres one central server thats why it blew up in dec/jan

another rookie mistake from bsg xd

[pure talon]

we talked about it yesterday

not hearing a shot is not an indicator of a cheater

it means (a) silencer, (b) long distance shot, (c) lame audio system in tarkov

[bold kernel]

audio occlusion zones are crazy

[rain wing]

oh hey z33d

[pure talon]

hey

[rain wing]

haven't been banned yet?

[smoky moth]

im glad it's global

[pure talon]

haha

[bold kernel]

Same. It'd probably be lame otherwise.

[smoky moth]

yeah

listing one stuff just for you to get outpriced and having to wait for 1 minute to relist it

[pure talon]

it's not a rookie mistake to have a global system, it's a rookie mistake to have it scale-proof

amazon have a global system as well

[bold kernel]

I always post 1st item at min- ~300. 2nd is usually 1-2k lower.

having just 2 slots... it really gives others an advantage.

[rain wing]

I just sell -500 to -1000 under the cheapest one

[junior kiln]

You would get the same benefit of doing -1

[bold kernel]

I hate typing 7+ on the numpad.

[smoky moth]

same

[bold kernel]

Selling it quickly > getting 500 more.

[novel mirage]

Hey it looks like inertia is hurting new players and come to think about it its really unfair against max strength players

so here are some tips

[bold kernel]

this shit is hell

[rain wing]

It looks nicer if it ends with 0 :)

[pure talon]

waiting for the tip

[smoky moth]

TRUEEE

[bold kernel]

my prices always end in 111, 222, 333, or whatever I can type without my right hand leaving the mouse 😄

[junior kiln]

WEell thats better than all the ##420 i see lol

[novel mirage]

in terms of peaking either using e or q (always peak to the right if u can because of guns location on shoulder) always move back an arms distance to widen field of view to limit exposure

[bold kernel]

are new players trying to jiggle peak?

[smoky moth]

r6 players be like

[bold kernel]

I thought that was patched.

[novel mirage]

1st caps lock 2nd: slow crouch 3rd: fast

[pure talon]

it was

[novel mirage]

I just did it in the vid

[bold kernel]

It sounds like a mechanic that wasn't intended... Kind of like using a bug.

[novel mirage]

jiggle peaking

[junior kiln]

Thats called an exploit lol

[novel mirage]

ok

i delete

[smoky moth]

i think they did patch that, but it was audio fix instead

[pure talon]

btw heres the full video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_LB57Gqy_0

[novel mirage]

ngl with these tips its hard to tell whats intended and what isnt lol

[smoky moth]

Spamming the Caps Lock key while moving no longer lets you move almost silently without a significant slowdown

🗿

[bold kernel]

just hard-code bind triple caps lock to "Disconnect"

[pure talon]

we love bakeezy too! 🙂

[mystic oar]

can someone help me get all my stuff into my stash as a standard i have way too much just stuff in general

[smoky moth]

i noticed half my encounters to pmc making footstep noises, i always crouch and silent walk

im so scared lmao

[junior kiln]

drink some g-fuel Hot Rod and rush in there soldier!

[novel mirage]

DONT BE SCARED

[tough oyster]

i still do this half the time

[bold kernel]

I thought MaxEnergy was better

[junior kiln]

Someone told me to chuck a grenade in the direction of the foot steps (as long as you can tell the general location) and its been working really well for me

[unkempt ingot]

i try to be more aggressive when i know there's a pmc that knows I'm there

[bold kernel]

oh shit. strength+1 wins

[junior kiln]

I just assume if I heard you, you heard me

Unless ive been crouched for a minute already

[junior kiln]

HotRod baby!

[smoky moth]

i stack hotrods for BS ammo instead

💀

[junior kiln]

I used to as well but I moved on to 762x51 rounds and cant go back
The heavy pen with the heavy flesh damage is really good for someone with my lack of aiming skills

[smoky moth]

is there any full-auto M80 guns that has a decent recoil?

[junior kiln]

I dont think so, I just use the SR-25

Not a fan of auto in this game

[unkempt ingot]

fal is expensive to mod, scar is expensive + banned on flea, mdr is banned on flea

they all absolutely destroy pmcs tho

[vapid anvil]

can anyone teach me not to die every raid

[bold kernel]

Is MIA an option?

[vapid anvil]

always. hiding in a bush for 35 minutes = no deaths and happy me

[bold kernel]

I haven't died on an interchange stash run in the longest time.

[vapid anvil]

I was on my 4th attempt with the GPU package quest and almost made it until I got scoped in the face

[somber tiger]

hey can someone help me with quests or just help me get better gear

[stable island]

no

[junior kiln]

I mean the clip is way to short to know

[bold kernel]

He was scoped in and shot at you while strafing.

[vapid flume]

I just appeared after that building he flicks to me and kills me with a full auto 7.62x51

head eyes

Yall acting like there's zero cheaters in this game

[bold kernel]

why do you say full auto?

[vapid flume]

7.62 in full auto is really hard to control and practically impossible at that distance

[bold kernel]

I only heard one round.

[vapid flume]

I heard 5

you must be deaf to not have heard the full auto fire

[unreal jay]

I have two lab key cards in my stash should I sell them or keep them

[bold kernel]

I guess I'm deaf and alive then!

[junior kiln]

Well you need two for a quest later on but you can always hold on to 1 keycard and use it to do offline raids in Labs to get used to it
Offline raids still need a card but wont use it up

[unreal jay]

ok wil do

[junior kiln]

Wheres the shot even coming from?

Somewhere to the left but i cant see it

[echo flower]

guy at the break in the wall

across the street

[junior kiln]

Yup this is why I die a lot lol

Just looks like a lucky shot to me

[bold kernel]

classic skill gap

[junior kiln]

Damn does SR-25 actually stand for Stoner Rifle?

[vapid flume]

inbetween 2 bunkers

[stable island]

what ammo should i get for leg meta kedr

[vapid flume]

psv

jaeger lvl1

[vapid flume]

sp7 true I forgot that existed

[junior kiln]

Pay out the ass for it unless your LL4 Prapor

[willow ocean]

Best option to find rare keycards/good keys with the scav case?

[junior kiln]

Intel Folder I think

[steep garnet]

im looking for help on how to get better at fights and tarkov in general. only lvl 15

[median raven]

Does anyone have a video/chart of what gun parts are profitible to pick up?

Ive tried searching a video for it and also just reading what the attachments are for in game

but no luck as of rn

[stable island]

i usually just grab scopes grips and suppresors

[untold elm]

can you get good cheap dmrs?

[median raven]

alr, tyty

[violet furnace]

Does bullet have bigger ricochet chance from further away? Like from 200m and 20m

[soft jacinth]

would anyone like to play tarkov with me im level 11

[celest dagger]

im down

[soft jacinth]

oh ok

!

[proven basalt]

How good is 5.45x39 BP gs?

[pale snow]

bp good

[proven basalt]

Good to know

Thanks

[violet furnace]

Ok, nit bad but could be beteer

[foggy elm]

anyone trying to help me out? im level 16 i think

[soft jacinth]

oh

I would

[soft jacinth]

join beginers six

[next hawk]

Does anyone have any tips for killing scavs from 50 meters plus on reserve

[elfin gale]

scoped gun, get on top of a building or on the rocks around the dome and snipe them

[next hawk]

Idk where they spawn though

[foggy stratus]

Everywhere

Just look around mate

[elfin gale]

around the helicopter/near the trains/at the bunkers/between buildings ... pretty much everywhere

[next hawk]

Ok

What is a good long range flesh ammo?

[elfin gale]

depends on the gun

[foggy stratus]

Why flesh ammo

[next hawk]

They have to be leg shots

[foggy stratus]

Jesus Christ good fucken luck with that

[next hawk]

The reward is 2 G28s

[elfin gale]

what gun do you want to use and I'll find you some flesh ammo

[next hawk]

Idk I’ve been trying to do it with an RFB and M80 but it takes like 3-4 shots to kill them

[elfin gale]

if you want to use the rfb, you could use ultra nosler for 107 flesh damage

[next hawk]

Hm ok thanks

[elfin gale]

or m80, could try 1 shot to the chest and rest in legs

[next hawk]

Yeah I might have to do that

Because just shooting at the legs does like no damage

And it’s not breaking their legs so they just keep running for some reason

[elfin gale]

yeah, scavs are built different

[foggy stratus]

Can’t wait for bsg to add actual movement to scavs. Leg breaking, INERTIA would be great

[next hawk]

Wait you can’t break scav legs?

That explains a lot lmao

I was so confused

And honestly it’s so bad I keep getting flicked on by raiders as well

[foggy stratus]

AI have their own set of rules apart from pmcs

[elfin gale]

they can bleed but they can't have broken limbs

[next hawk]

Damn ok thanks for the info

[foggy stratus]

Like seeing through walls

Prefiring walls

[next hawk]

Omg yeah

[foggy stratus]

Running on blacked limbs

[real copper]

anyone selling light bulbs?

[foggy stratus]

No

[elfin gale]

this is not a market my friend

[foggy stratus]

Just scav interchange mate, nobody is going to sell u light bulbs

[next hawk]

How good are G28s?

[elfin gale]

very good

[real copper]

is interchange the best spot for light bulbs?

[next hawk]

Because I’ve already lost like 3 kits trying to do this

[elfin gale]

any tech spot is good for lightbulbs

[foggy stratus]

… I wouldn’t suggest it if I didn’t think you were going to find them there lol

[next hawk]

Yeah pretty much, you could also just scav somewhere like reserve and hit all of the many filing cabinets

That’s how I got mine

[real copper]

tarkov community is so loving

[next hawk]

It would also be helpful for me if you scaved it lmao need more leg kills

But yeah I think I’ve lost like 600k trying to get the G28s and so far I only have 1 kill that counted as the rest were just under 50meters

[bold kernel]

anyone need any help with any quests?

[elfin gale]

bush, I'll get in a raid and spot them for you if you need help

[next hawk]

Yeah that’d be really helpful if you could

I dont know the above ground part of the map too well, only general areas

[stable island]

Where should i aim with BP ammo

[grim sleet]

if you’re willing i could use some help for quests. i’m just getting back into the game and need to level up

[grim sleet]

the head. u should always aim for the head unless u got a super mega juicer then probably legs is the best idea

[bold kernel]

Which quest?

[grim sleet]

like all the starter quests basically lmao

[signal vault]

can anyone help me im new i know almost nothing

[lethal helm]

anywhere lmao

[zealous yacht]

i have a question i just ran into another player and in about 15 bullets he broke all four of my limbs and did 65 dmg to my chest. Is he cheating? too me it seems incredibly unlikely for someone to hit all 4 of your body parts like that

[cobalt sluice]

a med bag

[odd valve]

anyone mind playin with? very used to fps games but never played this thing (pm me if so)

[lethal helm]

whats happening

[timber ridge]

idk happening to me as well

[eager ridge]

Hello everyone, I just brought EFT and having trouble with the launcher verification code, I've tried everything that has been said on forums etc and yet still no code, any other ideas or ways to get it working?

[smoky moth]

screenshots?

and might have to go #community-support or request a ticket at official tarkov website for bsg support

[echo flower]

restarted the game and it's fine for me now

[bold kernel]

i snuck on a guy and ended up getting one shot

[topaz violet]

are item cases good value for how much they cost

i have a bunch of armors im saving for raids

[echo flower]

not the greatest value

[topaz violet]

What would you say is better?

[echo flower]

thicc items lol

[hidden violet]

I would just get 1 item case, don't get more than that cuz you will be able to get your thicc items case from therapist fairly soon

if you really need multiple then ig

but I would just get 1

[topaz violet]

okay thanks

[bold kernel]

i hate this game, why do i alway lose a pmc fight

[echo flower]

what ammo are you using

[lethal helm]

ammpo

[bold kernel]

just lps

[shell kindle]

im level 10 what do i do with moonshine and the other alcohol

whisky and vodka

[hidden violet]

@shell kindle sell to therapist

[hidden violet]

you're probably just getting outgunned if you're using a mosin

since its mid wipe they also probably have better ammo

[bold kernel]

im using svd for my quest

[hidden violet]

just bad positioning then

[hidden violet]

and you're probably left peaking

[shell kindle]

what should I sell?

[bold kernel]

right peaking behind a barrel middle of dorm's kitchen

[hidden violet]

gp
bit coin
roler
vertias guitar pic
zeno
sush
ancient book
d fuel
water filter

all to therapist, the rest just wait until you have flea

[echo flower]

gotta ask them what their level is first, might need dfuel for hideout

[hidden violet]

I just ignore hideout until im lvl 15

becuase you dont really need to craft anything for early quests

[shell kindle]

yeah i want to keep quest items more than anything

[shell kindle]

and get workshop so i can mod weapons

[echo flower]

but there's bonuses you can get, no one else I've watch ignores it until 15

[hidden violet]

you can mod weapons without it
its just easier with presets

[shell kindle]

how?

its greyed out

[bold kernel]

buying up all the cheap svd in the flea market, im so bad

[hidden violet]

no im saying in general
modding as in attacthing things to weapons

[frail anvil]

workbench

[lusty bear]

im somewhat new, is there a time when certain maps are less aggressive than others?

[hidden violet]

like I said
attatching things to weapons
not modding

[shell kindle]

oh sorry yeah workbench

[hidden violet]

night time

[shell kindle]

how do I attach stuff to weapons?

[frail anvil]

to unlock modding and presets menu you need to build workbench in your hideout

[hidden violet]

drag things onto it that actualy go on the weapon

like that stock buttpad

thats on the gun

[lusty bear]

how does that work without night optics?

[signal vault]

anyone wanna play btw im new

[lusty bear]

i havent tried yet

[hidden violet]

turn your brightness up

you can still somewhat see

if you have somewhat map knowledge

[shell kindle]

thx im a idiot

[signal vault]

anyone wanna play im new

[hazy veldt]

Wilstons you can sell if you've done the quest / or you're close to flea.

Dfuels you can vendor if you have heating 2 already.

ancient book, bitcoin you can vendor.

shus and xeno, they are only used in post 15 hideout upgrades.

Horse you can vendor, common and only used in very late quest and post 15 hideout upgrade.

sdiary you can vendor, only needed in post 15 hideout upgrade.

GP I would keep, for gunsmith 4 barter / HMK later.

[bold kernel]

wish there was something similar to link search but for barter trading

[hazy veldt]

required search...

[signal vault]

anyone wanna play im new

[hazy veldt]

literally the option below linked search

[frail anvil]

#pvp-lfg

[hazy veldt]

you have to remove the filter for "remove barter trades" though.

[signal vault]

ok thx

[shell kindle]

i sold everything lol

not everything

but mostyl

[bold kernel]

ive just spawned as scav with 2 keys: 1 safe and 1 dorm 206

is that normal to spawn with stuff like that?

[shell kindle]

yeah

[hazy veldt]

yes, as your scav rep goes up, you can get even better stuff.

luck + karma = spawn with keys worth millions.

[bold kernel]

how can i see my scav rep?

[frail anvil]

fence

[bold kernel]

i think thats not good rep

[signal vault]

how

cant find

[frail anvil]

click it

[lethal helm]

i have -3 lmao

[signal vault]

CANT FIND

[frail anvil]

why are you killing scavs while being a scav?

[signal vault]

U NO BRAIN?

[frail anvil]

click the hashtag

theres no reason for insults

[bold kernel]

i did it once on my first scav run

[lethal helm]

i do it on every run

[shell kindle]

you mustve done it a ton of times

its the only way to lose fence rep

[frail anvil]

just extract via car extract on pmc run couple of times and youll be positive

[lethal helm]

what level is money case

[bold kernel]

and with car you mean ex pmc exit behind dorms?

[signal vault]

whats next to it

i cant find

[frail anvil]

dorms on customs, power plant on interchange, bridge on woods near scav village in the expanded area, and on lighthouse in the mountains right of where train is

you can also gain rep by helping scavs extract via duo extracts

[smoky moth]

Therapist LL4

[bold kernel]

yea, but the joke is that i spawned with a vpo-136, 4 full mags, a calok-b, a pilgrim and 3 keys: a w301, dorm 206 and safe even tho i had bad rep

[frail anvil]

such as scav lands on reserve, scav camp on interchange, factory gate on woods

[signal vault]

THERE IS NO LOOKING FOR GROUPS

[frail anvil]

#pvp-lfg <--- click it

[signal vault]

im an idoit

[proven basalt]

Tf is an ofz shell for?

[hidden violet]

used for a later quest

I would keep it and sell it on flea when you can

[frail anvil]

youll need that for a quest later

[hidden violet]

sells for quite a bit

[proven basalt]

Gotcha

[bold kernel]

Where can I find car medkits on costums?

[frail anvil]

crackhouse

[limber notch]

Why car medkits specifically?

[bold kernel]

Quest

[limber notch]

Which one

[bold kernel]

First quest for medic

[limber notch]

Read the quest requirements (Salewa)

[frail anvil]

not car medkits you need salewas

on customs those can commonly be found in crackhouse

[sturdy harbor]

what building should I go into to find intel-documents in reserve?

[frigid thorn]

who is the least pvp oriented map mostly made to loot and exit?

[limber notch]

Any map made for looting attracts people

[frail anvil]

theres about 40 intel docs that can spawn there

[limber notch]

So you should learn a safe loot path such as interchange cache runs

[sturdy harbor]

which building?

[limber notch]

Intel has spawns in many buildings

[sturdy harbor]

in some I was only able to find weapon parts and food

[frail anvil]

b building, d2, in the dome

[sturdy harbor]

okay thanks

[bold kernel]

where is crackhouse? is that maybe that place with a hanged puppet in a bathroom and the workshop place?

[frail anvil]

across fortress

[topaz violet]

i had to buy 2 items cases because i only have lvl 2/3 traders and i just have a large stack of armor rigs sitting in my stash

i wanted to save for the thicc but

[bold kernel]

wheres fortress?

[frigid thorn]

what is the main benefit of levels? what can you do better later on? looks like the entire game is unlocked from lvl 1

[frigid thorn]

I don't understand how levels fits in to what it seems to be a pvp game

is it just for unlocks?

[low matrix]

if you are a higher level you have higher skills, lvled traders, hideout

skills and unlocks

[bold kernel]

lvl 15 unlocks flea market

[frail anvil]

circled building

[frigid thorn]

is scav's purpose to avoid risking losing gear with your main character?

[frail anvil]

yes

[sturdy harbor]

how much is intelligence worth btw?

[bold kernel]

yep, and its a good help for starter players too, i mean scavs dont shoot you, 80% of all pmc´s is already either dead or extracted

you can easly get keys, guns or other stuff BUT almost all good loot is already gone

[frail anvil]

about 360k

on flea

[viscid kraken]

can i use the armored train on reserve to get out as scav?

[frail anvil]

your extracts are designated when you double press o

[sturdy harbor]

kk thx

I can put them in a docs case, right?

[cunning bone]

I thought the "Fortress" was called "Crack House"

[frail anvil]

usually it would be used for first intel center upgrade

[frigid thorn]

loot is always done with F + the small grey box right? I found some items that look like chests but I can't loot them

[bold kernel]

normally the near exits are ??? ones and the more far away you go you get good extracs

[shell kindle]

scav is cracked as hell

[frail anvil]

no fortress is the building next to crackhouse its where reshalla and his guards can spawn

[bold kernel]

i remember my first time in reserve and literally visit all my extract points but had a requirements on it

[shell kindle]

Dude is running across from me and like 4 shots me

[frail anvil]

no, it all depends on your spawn

[bold kernel]

yea, but most of the time i had to run a marathon to get to a safe exit

[merry swift]

??? Exits are just ones with a requirement. Sometimes theyre on a timer and will close at some point in the raid. Sometimes they require power switches to be on, or require payment

[frail anvil]

not sure what you mean by marathon but you are racing to get to the extract to get out with the loot

[frail anvil]

or require waiting

[bold kernel]

oh ok
i thought those are "maybe" ones: maybe you get out but maybe you dont

[merry swift]

Aye there are a bunch of diff requirements

[merry swift]

Effectively they are. If you dont meet the requirements you cant use em

[frail anvil]

if its a ??? its a question of if its there or not

its rngd

[mossy mica]

Could someone explain why a lot of my Flea items are showing "Will be available in" from player listings and has a countdown timer

[merry swift]

Sometimes you need a scav to accompany you

[bold kernel]

and are those hard?

[merry swift]

The wiki has info on requirements

[merry swift]

Varies. Vehicle exfils are just like...pay 5k and get out

Thats pretty easy

[mossy mica]

???

[limber notch]

Depending on your scav karma this may be cheaper/more expensive

[frail anvil]

car extract cost depends on your scav rep higher it is lower you have to pay

[merry swift]

But some require you to turn on power, hit a switch somewhere else, swipe a keycard and THEN go to exfil in a 3rd location

[bold kernel]

others like on interchange are like "go on the other half of the map, open this door, flip the switch and try not to go on a rampage with the scavs

[mossy mica]

Is this some weirdness with the daylight savings time and it conflicting with time zones the item was listed in or something?

[merry swift]

Thats the one I meant yea

[echo flower]

restarting the game worked for me

[frail anvil]

i think he got banned from flea

[echo flower]

lol

[merry swift]

But the room has good loot so makes sense that it aint easy to get to

[mossy mica]

Nah I can buy some listings lol. Just occurring to me that it prob has something to do with the time change

[frail anvil]

no i dont think so

[echo flower]

I had the same problem, just had to restart the game and it fixed

[frail anvil]

try restarting your game

[shell kindle]

I should start bringing money in for vehicle extracts

It’s so annoying I have both of the document tasks on customs so I kinda have to bring both keys to do them

[mossy mica]

Ya restarting fixed it. I imagine it has something to do with time sync where I went from 2AM to 3AM immediately and the listing time left on the item or something. Thanks for the fix.

[merry swift]

100% recommend it

You get scav rep for using em too

So its worth it

Just be aware that when you hit the timer, everyone can technically see the extract is being used if they bring up the extract list

So that might pull in nearby players, especially if the extract is near hot spots like the customs one

[echo flower]

1 min timer from when you hand in the cash

[bold kernel]

scavs revealing my location, hate this game

[spiral flicker]

[limber notch]

If you have a docs case you can bring money in it

Not sure if it also works with a sicc case

[floral turtle]

can i get some help off someone, i have the jaeger task completed, i accepted reward and reset game multiple time, jaeger is still not unlocking for me idk what to do, do i do gunsmith 1 aswell or is something up

[edgy ledge]

shoreline officially drained me of 1 mil roubles

fuck colleagues and pk in general

[limber notch]

So you got the letter?

[floral turtle]

yes i got the letter, completed the quest and everything, got the reward but no Jaeger

[sturdy harbor]

I'm pretty good at pvp, I usually get 4-5 kills per raid. I a lot of times die because I get attacked by 3-4 player squads who rush me at the same time.
Any advice?

[edgy ledge]

big mags

[merry swift]

It does

[bold kernel]

what of this is worth something?

[merry swift]

Powerbank

[bold kernel]

k

[sturdy harbor]

ok thx

[bold kernel]

and?

something else

[echo flower]

114 is useful

[frail anvil]

just take everything

[merry swift]

Not really. Crackers are like 13k I think

[echo flower]

yeah crackers 13k

[limber notch]

Screenshot pls

[bold kernel]

im running low on storage, thats why im asking

[frail anvil]

backpacks in backpacks

[merry swift]

Time to sell some shit//buy a scav box

[echo flower]

lf scrdr is not great and takes up 2 slots

[limber notch]

What lvl r you?

[sturdy harbor]

5

I usually go into a raid with a glock 17, 4 mags, and a 20k backpack

[limber notch]

Weird. Try restart pc maybe, nit sure

[amber wave]

Are you counting scavs in your 4-5 kills a game?

[limber notch]

Are the kill you get players or scavs?

[sturdy harbor]

scavs mostly I think

[limber notch]

And are the 3-4 man groups also scavs?

[sturdy harbor]

but 1-2 players too

[sturdy harbor]

I dont think so

scavs arent that smart are they?

I only can afford the glocks because I won some giveaway where a guy gave me 3 bitcoins haha

[floral turtle]

idk, i had this happen a day or 2 ago and i have reset my pc lots since then, so its not just that

[limber notch]

They can band together and screw you up with shotguns

[amber wave]

They aren’t smart but they will one tap you whenever they want

[sturdy harbor]

hm I see

[merry swift]

If big squads rush you the absolute best tip is to circle around. Do anything to ensure youre not directly in front of em and they will generally have big issues figuring out which guy is you and who their teammates are

[sturdy harbor]

also scavs are screaming like crazy sometimes, but the ones I'm getting killed by just sneak up

[bold kernel]

they arent, they will always say something hen they see you
BUT they can still kill you in 2 shots

[merry swift]

Retreating in a straight line is death, always circle

[limber notch]

If you are fighting, even if its just a scav try not to peak the same place too often. Break LOS and reposition

[sturdy harbor]

I usually magdump them, run away before they can fire more than 1 shot, and peek them from somewhere

[sturdy harbor]

If there is only a way straightforward, is zig-zagging good?

[amber wave]

Right hand peels are also the safest way to engage any target, you reveal the least amount of yourself as possible and it just leaves your head and gun to get shot, whenever you safely can try to gain a right hand peak

[bold kernel]

should i sell the powerbank i just got?

[merry swift]

No that just takes more time. Youll eventually learn not to put yourself in funnels, always try to have a side door available

[amber wave]

Don’t zig zag scavs, or do it very minimally you really just want to get out of sight as fast as possible

[limber notch]

If you want yeah. Flea market is only about 10k more roubles

[cinder moon]

Any tips for dorms on customs? I got killed one time by a guy sitting in a room with a shotgun waiting for me. Don't know what to do or how to move around in dorms.

[limber notch]

Grenades

[merry swift]

If youre stuck with only 1 way out id throw a grenade and bail so that they gotta wait out the nade explosion before they can rush after you

[bold kernel]

zerga grenades and they will fly out the window

[sturdy harbor]

alright

[limber notch]

Check google in case this happened to others

[cinder moon]

What if they make no noise and I have no idea anyone is there?

[limber notch]

Someone is there always, untill you confirm that no one is there

[amber wave]

I’ve got a more advanced question for anyone that knows, know do I farm sniper xp using a vpo? Do I just reload the entire raid or do I need to load mags?

[merry swift]

Do be like that sometimes 😄 . Carefully check rooms as you move in

[cinder moon]

Thanks

[merry swift]

Reloading will level, but slowly

[amber wave]

That’s fine I need level 3 so I’ll do it passively through raids, just reload mags into the vpo?

[echo flower]

I think it's like reloading 50 times in a raid will max out the amount it could level in a raid

[limber notch]

The rule in tarkov is: There is always one wherever you go. If you see one person, then there are probably 2. If you see 2 there are probably 3. And so on

[amber wave]

I know you can check your skills page to see when your maxed

[cinder moon]

Also, I was at a camp on woods and I heard a single footstep behind me while looting. I turned around and the guy walked around the corner and blasted me in the face. Should I rush if I hear a single footstep or back off?

[merry swift]

Sure. Reloading mosins is slightly faster than mag snipers

[bold kernel]

where are places a crickent lighter can spawn?

[amber wave]

I have a daily to kills 15 scavs with a vpo for 500K roubles

[merry swift]

Oh damn. Off to woods we go then. If youre blasting that many scavs you wont need to reloadspam

Landing shots levels sniper much faster

[bold kernel]

and where are places like that at costums?

[merry swift]

Do note that you get xp per shot landed, not per kill. So xpwise its better to hit a scav 3 times instead of headshotting them

[merry swift]

Filing cabinets in dorms

[bold kernel]

oh ok, thats easy

[limber notch]

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

You can filter what the map shows

[merry swift]

There are cabinets in the factory key shortcut too, a few near big red

[limber notch]

And tapping on the icons will show a picture of the area

[amber wave]

finishing junkie, tarkov shooter 4, and the daily all on woods

[remote kettle]

Usually just show your back to scavs, If you have an ears, nape and top helmet they cant onehit you

Unless they pen

[cinder moon]

Any tips for PVP? Every PVP situation I get into I lose. Anyone got any tips?

[merry swift]

Mythical lower nape hitbox be like

[sturdy harbor]

ok

do you recommend using grenades? since squads are usually at the same space

[remote kettle]

Yes

[merry swift]

Play faster. Sneaking and slow peeking doesnt really work. For all the tactical vibes the game has, pvp is more arcade than you think in cqb

[remote kettle]

Nades are still king for pushing people

Forcing movement, triggering voices If you’re fighting bosses

[hazy veldt]

practice factory with a shotgun/kedr.

[remote kettle]

Just not as reliable for kills unless you’re using vogs or impacts

[karmic axle]

where can yall find machinery key i cant find a single one in jackets

[bold kernel]

factory as scav

[hazy veldt]

Unless you don't have reflexes, then you need to play differently than just relying on twitch aiming.

[merry swift]

Its in a very specific jacket mate in dorms. Check the wiki on how to get to it

[remote kettle]

Room 205, Brown jacket, fixed spawn

Dorms

[karmic axle]

oh really okay

thanks

[proven basalt]

Are any of these keys good?

[proven basalt]

Thanks

[limber notch]

np

[echo flower]

one category should be quest tier

[violet furnace]

Can i have RFB with flashlight? i dont mean the scope with laser

[echo flower]

even if it's crap you'll need it for something

[limber notch]

quest keys are included iirc

[hazy veldt]

No.

[limber notch]

which is why director key is A tier

but machinery key isnt included

[echo flower]

but some you don't want to return to after the quest is done others are still ok

[hazy veldt]

No better resolution?

[echo flower]

https://i.imgur.com/yOB6YUH.jpg

[limber notch]

keep machinery key for a quest

[hazy veldt]

machinery key is quest only, totally worthless otherwise?

[limber notch]

yeah I am aware of that

[hazy veldt]

P sure that tier list is key profit?

[limber notch]

But I was pointing out that while quest keys are included,it is only ones which unlock items

[echo flower]

I like that its separated by map, but I wish the resolution was better

[steel oxide]

Who should I turn the Chemical Part 4 mission to?

[limber notch]

Factory Key doesnt give much profit does it yet it is A tier

[echo flower]

I did skier

[limber notch]

so not only profit is factored in, utility, profit and key price

[hazy veldt]

Not dying to extract camper is big profit.

[limber notch]

just dont get extract camped

[merry swift]

Tier lists always gunna be controversial

Think its a fine list generally

[limber notch]

its a good list

[merry swift]

But many of those keys are contested rooms so if youre not much of a pvp chadlord itll be different for you

[limber notch]

if a key isnt in that list check if it is in this one before getting rid of it

[proven basalt]

Gotcha

[smoky moth]

Therapist
+ Medical Case
- A few non-FIR keys (easily bought in flea market) for reputation buyback

Skier
**+ ZSh-1-2M (Black) helmet sold at Ragman **
+ Grenade Case
- 1 million roubles for reputation buyback

Prapor
+ 2 Ammo Boxes
- A few grenades (easily bought in flea market) for reputation buyback

[limber notch]

the list I just sent is about items you will need for quests. If they have the green mark they need to be FIR

[smoky moth]

i did Therapist for the medical case, skier doesn't sell anything important yet at the loyalty level i was on so i can still save up some money in the meantime

[merry swift]

I went with therapist for chem4 too. The skier helmet is terrible

[echo flower]

I think choosing skier unlocks a helmet for ragman

[smoky moth]

the helmet sucks ass, and it's just a recolored one

[echo flower]

ah

if you need the skier rep then paying 1m roubles is the most expensive way

[limber notch]

true

[merry swift]

Yea the helmet is really only good for factory runs early on

[frail anvil]

i took med case from therapist

[limber notch]

also what are the quests that level up skills?

are they new?

[merry swift]

No

[limber notch]

I have one to pay 400k for 2 lvls of health

[merry swift]

Theyve been around for a bit, some are very important like Mentor

If you want to get kappa quests done, that is

[limber notch]

I guess I have never progressed very far in my previous wipes

[steel oxide]

I got a bunch of stuff saved up so going with therapist would be a pretty good option I suppose?

[merry swift]

Theyre mostly optional tbh

[smoky moth]

medical case is useful if you keep lots of healing equipment for use later

[merry swift]

I think meds case sells for more than the nade case too but dont quote me on that

[smoky moth]

i got 3, 1 for AFAKs, 1 for calok and alu splints and 1 for drugs

[smoky moth]

yep medicine case sells for ~680k

grenade case is ~320k

[rigid light]

i found a STM-9

imma sell it on the flea

[karmic axle]

I need advice rn i just killed a guy's mate i got the drop on him what do i do now

[merry swift]

Check price to mechanic. I dont think anyone buys stms so might be worth same to mechanic

[rigid light]

too late someone bought it for 20k on the flea

[frail anvil]

if stacked get out

[karmic axle]

i cant reach his body

also i died

[frail anvil]

rip

[echo flower]

7k to mech

[smoky moth]

game thinks i can run labs 17 times without dying

🗿

[echo flower]

nice, stm is a gun that looks nice but it's super underwhelming, the mags are worth more than the gun

[frail anvil]

do you even have 17 cards?

[rigid light]

yeah it came with 33 round glock mag which i took

[echo flower]

wtf that's a daily?

[karmic axle]

Oh yes guys, its usually scavs, not players.

[charred axle]

is gunsmith part 5 possible for a lvl 17

[limber notch]

You will eventually be able to tell what is a scav or player while fighting them. for players u gotta be more carefull

probably too late, but try to reposition and camp the corpse

why do i have ducktape?

where you at

what map

[frail anvil]

which map?

i died it's ok

i was on reserve

d2

[prime comet]

i looted 3 raiders and had so much on me

i dont know the map well enough yet lmao

[echo flower]

were you like 60kg lol?

[prime comet]

55 yeah

i was a chunky scav

[graceful heath]

i have a question i have my tarkov on my hdd drive and at the start of game i always have huge fps drops is it because of the hdd?

[prime comet]

could be anything in your pc if it's not mid/high end

i have a mediocre rig and it has drops at the start of every raid

[limber notch]

Reserve is good to learn

[echo flower]

hdd vs ssd will affect loading speed, maybe your settings are too high

[limber notch]

Can make good money

[echo flower]

Is this worth keeping or should I just vendor?

[frail anvil]

if you plan on making a loud ass ak

yes

[echo flower]

I dont have the best understanding of the 'stats' on it yet and what I can compare it to

[limber notch]

You could keep since its pretty decent for early trader aks

BiS muzzle is JMac iirc (Dont take my word for it)

[proven wave]

still not worth tho...

[frail anvil]

varies from player to player

[prime comet]

it's just chaotic

[limber notch]

Unless you want to use a flame thrower

[echo flower]

that's like extra CQC damage

[limber notch]

It should deal dmg tbh. The amount of muzzle flash is crazy. Literal flame thrower

You can go shooting down hallways instead of using a flashlight

[prime comet]

anyone wanna come be my bodyguard

for this dumb tanker quest on interchange

[frail anvil]

thats easy gell

[echo flower]

just throw a drum mag on

[prime comet]

i hate being outside on interchange

90% of the time i get sniped

[frail anvil]

i dont

[limber notch]

Outside interchange is usually safer

[frail anvil]

outside is safer than inside

[prime comet]

lucky men

i never die inside lmao

[echo flower]

facts

[limber notch]

Inside is a rat infestation + Killa the exterminator

[prime comet]

unless it's killa

[worn wolf]

hey guys, can anyone help me to do some quests?

[prime comet]

ok i'm just gonna go for it

i have a rough idea of where these things are

[limber notch]

Depends, as I said when we played it is pretty good for making money. You can consistently come out with 60kg if you find some raiders. Eg below

[prime comet]

First time I played it was with @vagrant cargo

Yesterday

And I scavved it today

[limber notch]

Oh then maybe I went with someone else

Idk

[prime comet]

But my first run I had no energy or water limping towards the bunker extract

When raiders spawned

[limber notch]

You can find food in bunker and in garage of school

Very good to know about these spawns

[prime comet]

I had no stomach

So it was shagged

[limber notch]

Rip

[prime comet]

Repaired it and it went instantly because I had no energy or hydration at all

[limber notch]

That is unfortunate

[prime comet]

also lets get it

[limber notch]

Good luck

Where can I get as vals with good dura? Only flea?

Also, wasnt the pistol grip buffer tube combo available from traders some time ago?

[steep flame]

raiders

and the tube still is, its a barter from mechanic

[prime comet]

iamgine

i just foudn the ultra medical key

in the power station of inter

[steep flame]

meh

its trash this wipe, idk how much it sells for now

[prime comet]

400k key still

[frigid thorn]

lol I killed one and managed to survive until the end but didn't find an extract point. Are these extract points standard on each map and the loot spots as well?

[steep flame]

yes depending on where you spawn

and loot to an extent

[limber notch]

It is rly rare on raiders. Only found once in wuite a few raids.

[hidden violet]

How to not shit myself when playing solo?

[steep flame]

its not that rare on them

[limber notch]

Shit before playing

[hidden violet]

ok

[frail anvil]

be prepared

[echo flower]

extract points are fixed, but won't always be available depending on where you spawn. pressing 'O' twice will show you which extracts are available for your current raid, some extracts have specific requirements so be careful going to one finding out you don't meet those requirements (like extracting with a scav)

[limber notch]

Would farming sanitar be worth it if I cant get as val raiders?

[echo flower]

true

[steep flame]

well idk, are you just trying to get them to use them? cause its pretty bad this wipe tbf so id just say use something else

[limber notch]

Yeah I like the gun and want to use it

[steep flame]

well good luck

[proven wave]

TOZ GANG

[steep flame]

i used to love the val but now im avoiding it at all costs

[limber notch]

It has some kick, but in bunker it should be fine

[echo flower]

that much recoil in one game might shift the servers further away from you and affect your latency

[limber notch]

I guess I just need to find a gun I like

[limber notch]

[violet furnace]

[limber notch]

1.8k in combined vertical recoil. They will get to Mars before Elon Musk

[violet furnace]

XDDDDDDDD

[echo flower]

add in the horizontal and they'll over shoot and fly past it

[sturdy harbor]

what the fuck is a red rebel? I took a paracord to be able to extract at this cliff desent but it didnt let me

that's why I died

[echo flower]

melee weapon, looks like a climbing pick.

there is a barter for it from jaeger

[frail anvil]

you get rr from shturman on woods

[merry swift]

Just barter it its pretty affordable

Flea red rebels are like 3x price of the barter

[sturdy harbor]

1. how much does that cost?
2. how do I unlock him?
3. will the melee weapon and or the paracord be destroyed after using it?

[strange jay]

been scouting for 3 days, pmc/scav probably at least 50 weapon chests at this point. Cannot fkn find the gk-02 for gunsmith pt. 1 quest. have to be level 15 to unlock jaeger 2 and i'm lvl 7. workstation, lab, vents, gen, and security all done.

any advice for, i guess, getting more exp per run? My gunplay is alright, but i do my best at long range - and there's not a lot of long range options at my level.

[merry swift]

I think its like a million and a bit, not sure on current flea prices. It wont be destroyed but you do lose the paracord

[merry swift]

Rogues are really good xp if youre not doing tasks

[hidden violet]

it says 100/100 durability
does that mean anything?

[merry swift]

Yea thats full durability like with guns. Except that durability on melee weapons has no effect so dont worry abt it

[sturdy harbor]

that's so unfair

[hidden violet]

oh ok cool

[merry swift]

Unfair how

[hidden violet]

is there any point to getting it if I don't run reserve or lighthouse?

[hearty magnet]

paracord isnt lost

[strange jay]

rogues? i am doing tasks, the goal is to get to lvl 15. im lvl 7 - 2-3 days in at this point. but at this point seems easier to unlock market than it does to find the part.

[sturdy harbor]

1. ridiculous price
2. paracoord cant even be purchased anywhere

[merry swift]

Not really no. It does a fair amount of damage i guess but there are weapons that do more

[prime comet]

i did it all in one @frail anvil

feels good man

[merry swift]

1. Not really, and the extract is really good compared to reserve alternatives.
2. Flea

[hearty magnet]

Rr isnt hard to get

[prime comet]

why is this so satisfying

[strange jay]

what's the easiest sniper (with a scope) build at lvl 7? i've killed one lvl 22. pmc but i dont want to rely on killing pmc's for experience. also don't want to waste a bunch of my beginning loot to scavs/pmc's

[merry swift]

They change that? I swear you used to

[prime comet]

vpo 215

[merry swift]

I havent ran reserve at all this wipe tbh

[hearty magnet]

Been using the same paracord

[strange jay]

best scope at my lvl?

[hearty magnet]

I recommend Op-sks with pso

[open rapids]

who ever said u lose paracord?...

[prime comet]

its not amazing but 25mm ring mount and pilad scope

[strange jay]

i was thinking that too but not purchasable at my lvl

[prime comet]

or the opsks like

[merry swift]

Pso probably better than pillad

[prime comet]

but the vpo will cost about half the amount to run

[hearty magnet]

Op sks can be bought from Jaeger and pso scope from prapor

[strange jay]

lvl 1 merchant level?

[hearty magnet]

Pretty sure

[merry swift]

Yea you can

[strange jay]

alright i'll take a look then, thanks!

[hearty magnet]

Np

Its what i ran at low lvl traders lol

[merry swift]

Its not great tho ngl. You dont really have ammo to snipe with either at this point

[strange jay]

ah fuk the pso scope needs 2 spark plugs

[hidden violet]

ive just slapped a man

https://medal.tv/games/escape-from-tarkov/clips/e8E7Xy0Fcgsl1/d1337XlLRvj5?invite=cr-MSxYY2MsMTE4MTE5NjEs

[strange jay]

oh wait

[hearty magnet]

Cant you buy it w roubles?

[strange jay]

yeah it's a slightly diff scope i think, but i found it

NICE!

[hidden violet]

man had 9 adar 10 round mags
i just feel bad now

[strange jay]

we're in biz, thanks so much guys. is there a karma system in this discord?

[hidden violet]

dont believe so

[hearty magnet]

you can also buy a 20 round mag from peacekeeper

[strange jay]

ahhhh heck yeah, thanks

[merry swift]

20 round sks mags make the gun so much better

[hearty magnet]

put the mag on the gun before raid, and just put ammo in your rig or pocket and you can just load the rounds into the gun

[strange jay]

i usually alternate bullets loaded as well. it's been very efficient

[merry swift]

Wdym? You should be using PS ammo if you can at your level

[cobalt sluice]

my first semi auto play on lighthouse with flechette

[merry swift]

Unless you found bp somewhere

lighthouse is de wae

[strange jay]

been taking a look at ammo charts for some weapons the physical damage and armor penetration vastly differentiate

[hearty magnet]

dmrs are meta this wipe

[merry swift]

Very true

[cobalt sluice]

shotgun flechette better

[merry swift]

For the caliber that the sks uses you mostly want high pen though

[hearty magnet]

ap 20

[cobalt sluice]

Nah

[merry swift]

They all do big physical damage (aka flesh damage)

[cobalt sluice]

I just one tapped a ronin in the head and one tapped another dude

all in chalet

[limber notch]

Did u remove the scope on the m1a?

[cobalt sluice]

nope

[merry swift]

You can buy PS rounds from prapor lvl 1 which are pretty decent

[hearty magnet]

imagine wearing a ronin in raid

[limber notch]

Someone dumped a thermal then

[merry swift]

The drip tho

[strange jay]

yeah 7.anything is nothing to scoff at. that's why they're my fav weapons

[hearty magnet]

rather wear good protection lol

if i want drip id wear a pompon

[strange jay]

nah u gotta wear that adidas

100 killa kills

[frail anvil]

beautiful

[hearty magnet]

too much work

and luck

[strange jay]

[merry swift]

Insanity quest

[strange jay]

feel that. my first time i fought killa was in offline i unloaded 4-5 9mm/12g clips into him, 2-3 grenades, and still died

[merry swift]

Was feasible past wipes but this one youre insane to try it

[hearty magnet]

did you shoot his legs?

[strange jay]

i sure did

[cobalt sluice]

who?

[strange jay]

he did not give 1 shit

[merry swift]

Its like 600-800 raids of doing the same thing over n over

[hearty magnet]

talking to guy fighting killa offline

[cobalt sluice]

ah

[hearty magnet]

dont even know where or if he spawns lols

[strange jay]

he did like... 3-4 wipes ago

[limber notch]

Isnt killa spawn like 3% now?

[strange jay]

its been a long ass time since ive played last

[merry swift]

He spawns fucking everywhere mate

Centre, 1st floor, oli, ikea, goshan, parking garage

[hearty magnet]

what I mean is you don't know where he will be and if he even spawned in the raid

unless you hear an rpk

[limber notch]

Nvm his spawn chance is 34% apparently

[bold kernel]

Do i need a key to get in this door on customs?

[hearty magnet]

yes

[merry swift]

That combined with spawn rate means even if he spawns theres a good chance you wont get to him first and even if you do this mfer can sit in a dark corner behind some cash register and beam you

[bold kernel]

:(

[hearty magnet]

tarcone directors office key

[merry swift]

To go for adidas is legit insanity

[hearty magnet]

common key

[scenic sentinel]

timmy gang

[strange jay]

can you reload the 20 mag or is it top-feed only?

can you SWAP mags, or is it top-feed only*

omfg dope. if youve got the 20 round mags when you reload you just swap the mag

nice

[crimson fern]

If you have another 20 rounder or 35 round mag in your rig you can swap if not it will top-feed

[strange jay]

ah okay good to know, i got 2 so we're all set

[crimson fern]

you can always buy 20 rounders from PeaceKeeper

[strange jay]

yeah someone else made the recommendation. greatly appreciated

o7

[crimson fern]

And if you need a scope or a reflex sight on your SKS you can buy OP-SKS (which has a dovetail mount on it) from Jaeger

[frigid thorn]

is it common to loot a lot then going straight for the extract point? I see some videos that mention words such as "loot run" "risk free" "safe run" etc

[strange jay]

alternating PS with HP for the sks is amazingly efficient

[crimson fern]

Yes

[strange jay]

yes. at least when you're low level and not out for blood

and dont have a bitcoin farm

[frigid thorn]

ah so this is more of a survival than pvp

[strange jay]

pvp aspect comes in once ur confident in ur gunplay and game sense

[crimson fern]

but keep in mind to stay away from any kind of Fight unless neccesary

[primal breach]

is shoreline or interchange rn better if u have all keys

for loot

i quit for 2 months and havent been keeping up

[crimson fern]

in terms of loot they're kinda same but you have to survive so pick the map you're more comfortable with

[merry swift]

Even if you have multiple mags you can decide to topfeed if you just want to top the mag off

Its shift+reload I believe

[crimson fern]

👍

[primal breach]

and what is the best map for scav loot runs rn

reserve? i heard its buffed

[merry swift]

Still lighthouse IMO

[crimson fern]

again every map you're more comfortable with

It's a matter of survival

[primal breach]

so customs? lmfao

[crimson fern]

Light house is High-risk/ High reward

[crimson fern]

Yes customs has alot of loot in it too

[primal breach]

i would disagree

[merry swift]

Thats for sure, but if I were to pick one lighthouse is best for scavving. You join the raid mere minutes after the PMCs do and you can beat PMCs to loot depending on spawns. On top of that rogues are farmable as scavs too and they have good value gear

But high risk like ewalker said

[primal breach]

what bout ic

[merry swift]

Its okay, sure

[crimson fern]

Just feel the bag of your scav with the best loot you can and survive

[hidden violet]

there's no real bullets to alternate with unless you somehow have access to 7.62x31 bp ammo, you should just be using full ps rounds

[merry swift]

Interchange scav has a much higher survival rate on average im sure. Compared to lighthouse

[primal breach]

is lighthouse still laggy

[strange jay]

HP does 87 flesh damage

[prime comet]

very

laghouse/loothouse

[crimson fern]

if you hit a target with no armor yes 😄

[hidden violet]

never use hp ever, you're not going to be leg meta with an sks

[prime comet]

i just made 900k doing that marker quest on interchange

we love to see it

[strange jay]

thats why i alternate with PS, because PS has armor pen

[hidden violet]

fuel tankers?

[prime comet]

yeah

i found the ultra med key in the power station

[merry swift]

So half your shots dont do anything

[prime comet]

on my journey

[hidden violet]

or you could just, fire 3 ps rounds into them and kill them
rather than half your shots not doing anything

[merry swift]

Thats not how tarkov works mate

[strange jay]

zero out the armor and its all flesh damage

[crimson fern]

Not much, and if you miss your PS shots your HP would be useless too

[hidden violet]

you're not gonna 0 out the armor with 1 bullet

[prime comet]

i'm sad

[strange jay]

oh i know

[prime comet]

i jsut found my 6th ssd as my weekly wore off an hour ago

bye bye tx15s

[crimson fern]

you mostly kill targets before zeroing out their armor / or you die before doing so

[strange jay]

but uh... armor doesn't matter if you head-eyes anyway

[hidden violet]

snagged a quick gpu on interchange
you love to see it

[strange jay]

[prime comet]

you guys will know

i wanna make the m4 more accurate

that's how it looks atm

[hidden violet]

unlikely to have a clean shot on people most of the time

[strange jay]

even close range most of my kills have been headshots so... idk just kinda playing off the majority

[hearty magnet]

My go to scav run is shoreline caches + village + cottage

[crimson fern]

longer barrels increase muzzle velocity and accuracy usually

[hidden violet]

don't use that sight in my opinion
I think they fixed it a bit but it's still aids to use

I suggest buying an MOE stock with the MOE buttpad

you shouldn't be decking out an m4 if you're only using m855

[crimson fern]

takes time but less risky 👍

[hidden violet]

dude scav run and loot every interchange stash is making me like 300k a run if they're not all looted
and when I go as a pmc its even more

[prime comet]

the m855 is just what was in it
