[vagrant cargo]

resorts is cooler than dorms obviously

problem is

the rest of shoreline

barely has any reason to exist

a few safes is cool

but its like

cool in comparison to all the nothingness

[violet light]

man so many people spoiled on lighthouse lol

[sinful valve]

I’ve gotten bitcoins, gp, diaries etc from pier safes

[vagrant cargo]

yeah i know

theres fucking 2 safes

[sinful valve]

Yeah

[vagrant cargo]

if i want loot i would go literally anywhere else

[sinful valve]

2 chances to make bank

[vagrant cargo]

2 story has like 6 safes or something idk

[sinful valve]

Yeah but 2 story is still ass

[violet light]

there's a safe in weather station, four in cottages, smth like 4 in resort

[crude widget]

what do I do with a physical bitcoin?

[vagrant cargo]

sell

[sinful valve]

Sell sell sell

[violet light]

and sunken village also has a bunch of loot nobody picks over

[crude widget]

sell to who

[sinful valve]

The value fluctuates but rn it’s good

[violet light]

speculate on it and hodl

[sinful valve]

The rapist

[vagrant cargo]

i just accidentally went factory instead of shoreline

man thats weir

d

[dusky geyser]

how

nobody goes there and the keys cost nothing

easiest dorms to make money off of unless you have marked

[sinful valve]

Fair point

[dusky geyser]

i genuinely have a muscle memory problem where i instinctively click factory even though i wanted to go to literally any other map

bonus points if i was too slow on exiting and i’m loading into the raid with an SVD or something

[violet light]

pointfire noscope menace

[dusky geyser]

i have died and never seen it again since

[violet light]

username checks out

[crimson wharf]

are any lighthouse quests needed for kappa?

[violet light]

wish there was a place you could easily look this up

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Quests

[crimson wharf]

well i have a list but i know lighthouse is kinda new so i was just wondering since info can be iffy

[bold kernel]

Wiki is more updated than what we know.

[dusky geyser]

^

most of the quests have been marked already

[violet light]

except for the airfiltering unit bug. F that

[restive current]

bruh night raids scary asf

do cultists laugh sometimes?

cus i heard someone laughing

[bold kernel]

scavs laugh~~, too~~. I don't know if cultists do

[sinful valve]

Those cultists don’t play

[dusky geyser]

i’m 50% sure cultists have no voice lines

[bold kernel]

cultists don't make sound when walking, right?

[sinful valve]

If I see a spirited away mask I dip

[restive current]

never actually seen em

[bold kernel]

They sniffle and cough.

[restive current]

shaking rn

[sinful valve]

They’re so rare I met some on customs night raid one time and didn’t realize it till I was dead

[restive current]

first night raid ever lol

[sinful valve]

Good luck

[bold kernel]

I still haven't used NVG. I want to, though.

[sinful valve]

They’re so fun

Ratnik helmet, skier ll2 goggles and keep link searching then put it all together

[dusky geyser]

nvgs? nah, i use my echolocation and horrible map knowledge

[shell kindle]

i have so many fucking meds pls wtf

[sinful valve]

Eat them

[bold kernel]

get a med case when you can.

[restive current]

ILL TAKE SOME

[shell kindle]

i trying

[restive current]

oops

caps

[shell kindle]

i need 2 med tools

[restive current]

i think i got em

[sinful valve]

Gib me everything

[bold kernel]

get rigs... Rigs will carry all that shit nicely.

[restive current]

lemme check after raid

[shell kindle]

like im actually full lol

[dusky geyser]

buy one from flea

[bold kernel]

rigs can carry it in half the space.

He's level 10. No flea.

[shell kindle]

no flea and no good rigs to buy

[bold kernel]

I got all my good rigs from scav spawn.

[dusky geyser]

wait, thera ll2 is lv10?

[shell kindle]

lvl 13

[sinful valve]

Are you eod or standard?

[shell kindle]

im lazy to update

standard

[sinful valve]

Sell the surv12

Both of em

[warm minnow]

do barters return fir items?

[bold kernel]

good point.

[violet light]

no

[warm minnow]

thx

[bold kernel]

if you purchase it, it cannot be "fir"

[shell kindle]

beta is not that far off

[bold kernel]

once you have flea, you can just buy it.

[sinful valve]

Sell analgins too

Do you have friends that you play with?

[bold kernel]

It's taking up more space than it's worth to you right now.

[shell kindle]

try

[sinful valve]

You don’t seem to die much

[shell kindle]

true

not really

i die a lot but i always die quick

[bold kernel]

What's your secure container usually look like?

[shell kindle]

i was running cms with 2 keys

[sinful valve]

Keys?

[shell kindle]

for customs quests

[sinful valve]

That’s rough

[shell kindle]

was also running grizzly if i dont have any quests

[sinful valve]

Oh nah don’t do that lol

[bold kernel]

fuck grizzly ^^

[shell kindle]

but getting blacked from scav was annoying so I started running cms

[bold kernel]

I got better killing scavs questing on customs 2 dozen times.

[sinful valve]

Yea as a standard I’d say rock an alu, ifak/afak and cms

[shell kindle]

anyway yeah alu cms and key was one but now im gonna do that

[violet light]

right answer. Or stick a docs case or keytool in there depending on the map

[shell kindle]

i wish

[sinful valve]

Push for that beta ASAP

[shell kindle]

yeah beta is massive

[sinful valve]

It helped me so much this wipe

[violet light]

it's nice being able to "break apart" your grizzly when you find more valuable lewt

rather than shoving the whole thing in your backpack when you find a pipegrip or something

[bold kernel]

brandage and red loopy thing and cheese in quick bar

[sinful valve]

I only ever use grizzly for healing at base

[crimson wharf]

any tips for killing people on interchange?

[bold kernel]

Why would you heal at base? o.O

[bold kernel]

click on their heads before they click on yours.

[sinful valve]

Where on inter?

[sinful valve]

Therapist overcharges

Better to heal yourself

[violet light]

rush power station first 5 minutes to cut off their spawn. Then go into interchange and chill in "cold" stores across from major through routes or loot stores and stalk people

[bold kernel]

Then do it when you spawn so you get experience.

[crimson wharf]

anywhere, i just need them for chumming

[bold kernel]

You don't get heal/metabolism experience for things not done in raid.

[sinful valve]

Try to learn a night run for loot

Focus on looting first, the players will come

[bold kernel]

stash runs on the south/west sides.

[sinful valve]

^^^

[crimson wharf]

when i do that i never run into people

[bold kernel]

If you want to see people, go to mall.

[crimson wharf]

i am aware

[sinful valve]

That’s weird

[violet light]

you can cut off spawns like this

[bold kernel]

I only kill food store scavs, emercom scavs, highway scavs.

love that south-west most spawn 😛

[violet light]

these stores are excellent for setting your goblin trap

[crimson wharf]

i see, so the red line is where i would head if i spawned in that spawn?

[bold kernel]

I lay down near goshan and shoot people walking around mall

[sinful valve]

Menace

[violet light]

top floor is even better

[bold kernel]

fuck consumerism.

[violet light]

yes

[restive current]

i got one

[sinful valve]

I just run to tech stores

[restive current]

can give it to u if u need it?

[sinful valve]

Foolish chads

[restive current]

nvm i can buy another one

[bold kernel]

walk when passing major aisles, please.

[violet light]

ambush people in cold stores who are up top and once it's clear peer down and guard Kiba and the other hotspot stores from above

[crimson wharf]

i've gotten one of my kills by doing this

btw does emercom have any good loot in it?

[sinful valve]

I got 3 without really trying much

Uhhh no

Stashes do

[crimson wharf]

somehow i manage to avoid all the action

[sinful valve]

There’s only one by emercom

[violet light]

first 7 minutes you can also lie in wait in the garages as people enter the building and ambush them there

[crimson wharf]

no i meant emercom inside

[violet light]

embrace the goblin playstyle and you'll do good

[crimson wharf]

alright bet

[sinful valve]

Huh?

You mean the med key place?

Not ultra

[crimson wharf]

yeah

[sinful valve]

It’s got miscellaneous meds

Nothing to write home about

[crimson wharf]

any stim spawns?

[violet light]

if you spawn around power station you can also camp by the windows or up top and snipe people turning on power or vehicle extracting

[sinful valve]

I haven’t gone much to know sorry

[crimson wharf]

do people ever vehicle extract?

[violet light]

all the time

[sinful valve]

I do

[restive current]

can you refill fuel tanks?

[sinful valve]

No

[crimson wharf]

no

[frail anvil]

Raises scav karma

[restive current]

so i'll just sell em then

[frail anvil]

So yes

[restive current]

thanks

[sinful valve]

Use the metal ones to craft flechette and use the blue cans to craft mags cases

[violet light]

you use them for crafts. Keep the blue ones

[bold kernel]

if I get power plant, I hit that one stash, hit the lights, 4 jackets, 3 computers, then go south to the closest stash, then garage for 3 weapons boxes, then go upstairs to goshan 3 weapon boxes, then exit south to emercon for 2 more weapons boxes, then exit

[crimson wharf]

i swear i've never seen anyone leave through vehicle on interchange

[restive current]

aight i only got the grey ones

[violet light]

it's usually safe (sans you, the sniper up top) so it's a good extract

[frail anvil]

I did it this morning

[violet light]

Emercom is notorious for exit camper or people just exfiling at the same time as you

[bold kernel]

camp 7 minutes if I get GPU from 3 computers 😛

I've only gotten exit camped twice at emercom out of maybe 100 raids, but I recognize everything is random.

[violet light]

if you spawn at power you can also loot the whole place plus the key shack with an extra weapon box and exfil. Fast and profitable

[frail anvil]

Hole in fence

Safest exfill ever

[violet light]

and leave the power off for the extra salt

[crimson wharf]

i think the only map i've ever gotten camped on was woods over by zb-14 or zb-16 i dont remember which one

it was when i was still super new

[frail anvil]

Zb14

[sinful valve]

Yeah tbh I’m a woods degenerate and I never go zb-014

[crimson wharf]

i like going zb-014 whenever i don't feel like fighting scavs

[frail anvil]

Only time I went to zb14 was to find thise fucking 60 rnd mags

[violet light]

people like to camp the roof or the bushes for emercom

especially devious scavs

[crimson wharf]

he wasn't inside he, i got sniped

[crimson wharf]

i see

[frail anvil]

Oh that could be zb16 then

[shell kindle]

All good, lol

[frail anvil]

Was it a flat stone surface or was it by the wall?

[bold kernel]

when I get sniper as scav, sometimes I pray everyone's exiting emercom and I camp awning

wait... when there's a raid, everyone gets the same set of exits, right?

[violet light]

satan right here

[bold kernel]

👋

[violet light]

depends which side of the map you spawn on

[crimson wharf]

idk, i was going into some trees from an open field and then just as i ran out of stam i got shot in the head

[bold kernel]

so some will spawn west, some east in emercom and we can all have different extracts? Some will have emercom and others railways?

[violet light]

if you spawn east you get railway/vehicle/fence hole if you spawn west you get emercom/vehicle/fence hole

[sinful valve]

I like to find players and shoot both legs out then watch them panic

[crimson wharf]

only map where everyone has the same extracts is reserve i think

[bold kernel]

Holy crap. I thought everyone spawned on the left side or right side.

The two south-western most spawns on emercom are close, but one gets emercom, the other gets railroad.

[crimson wharf]

where do people like to sit over on railway extract?

i've heard that one is terrible when it comes to campers

[bold kernel]

When I'm on south-west most spawn (get emercom exfil), I've never seen people on the way to my exfil.

[zinc marlin]

they dont

[sinful valve]

Like to camp?

Never

Railway is typically safe

[violet light]

so generally you see a player flow like this at 20 minutes

[bold kernel]

I've been exfil camped at railway.

[bold kernel]

I've never been there more than 15 minutes 😛

[crimson wharf]

yeah, i've heard people like to snipe somewhere over there

[shell kindle]

Power station seems to always have action

For the most part

[zinc marlin]

for the shooter born in heaven quest maybe. But its the most boring thing you can do in tarkov(camp railway exfil)

[sinful valve]

I hate that hole in the fence spawn

[violet light]

railway you tend to get exit campers in these spots, but less frequently

[nova sentinel]

how the fuck do i stop loading an sks just died because my dude just had to put all those 20 bulet in

[sinful valve]

Always get squeezed

[restive current]

what are the best shoreline keys?

[crimson wharf]

on the billboard?

[sinful valve]

Spam left click @nova sentinel

[violet light]

especially if it's dark

[zinc marlin]

306W and 226E were the most profitable for me so far in this wipe

[crimson wharf]

tape key isn't good anymore is it?

[restive current]

thanks i think imma get these then

[restive current]

thank you

[violet light]

still has 6 ledx spawns and GPU spawn

[zinc marlin]

found 4-5s LedX just in this rooms

[rigid wind]

what map is ez pcb's?

[crimson wharf]

me, who gets adrenaline every time

[violet light]

interchange offices. Something like 20 pcs

[crimson wharf]

craft them

[sinful valve]

Scav tech stores inter

[rigid wind]

have to be fir D;

thx!

[zinc marlin]

interchange office areas

[crimson wharf]

crafted stuff is FIR

[violet light]

crafted is FIR. 1 dvd player 1 screw driver. Dirt cheap

[rigid wind]

its like 2 quest parts, found in raid and deliver

can i find gas analysers there too?

[restive current]

werent 226 and 222 the same key

[violet light]

yeah in the tech stores they're pretty common. You can also find them in the garages or in Oli

[restive current]

or like for the same rooms?

[sinful valve]

Gas analyzers are way too common

[rigid wind]

damn

[sinful valve]

Wish I knew at the start of wipe

[shell kindle]

Nah man

[crimson wharf]

holy shit i need a lot of keys for reserve

[sinful valve]

I was struggling

[rigid wind]

wher

[hazy veldt]

It doesn't matter, the 'find in raid" part of the quest just means items have to have fir.

[zinc marlin]

not sure actually, you can check it on the map on wiki

[sinful valve]

Tech stores interchange on scav

[restive current]

ok thanks

[shell kindle]

Back of office in idea also has

[sinful valve]

Go texcho, Rasmussen, tt, German

[restive current]

cus i used to run a 2 room key last wipe and it was something like 222

[zinc marlin]

probably it was 222West

[restive current]

ah nah E222 and E226 werre the same

i used to run these last wipe

[zinc marlin]

gotcha

[nova sentinel]

how do i fail a quest

[sinful valve]

Usually time

[shell kindle]

Run out of time on dailies or weeklies

[nova sentinel]

but on like main quest to lose rep

[sinful valve]

Sometimes if you die or heal

[shell kindle]

Otherwise you can’t fail it’ll stay till you are done

Why do you want to lose rep

[sinful valve]

Main quests you can’t fail gotta take the rep hit

[nova sentinel]

like on chemical pt4 it shows if you fail you lose ton of rep

on wiki

[sinful valve]

Oh nah that’s fine

[restive current]

do y'all insure your keys?

[bold kernel]

keys never leave container

[sinful valve]

Turn it in for skier you’ll get redemption quests

[rigid wind]

nah theyre always in my stas

[shell kindle]

Oh that one is if you do the other path

[restive current]

i remember it helping once when i got like ledx and didnt have space for it

[nova sentinel]

ok ty

[sinful valve]

Ofc bro

[zinc marlin]

only by accident

[restive current]

haha ok then

[rigid wind]

does someone have a ballpark number of how much merin car key is worth

[violet light]

if you have a fat docs case or key tool then not really

[sinful valve]

Not as much as it’s going for

[restive current]

oh no a dude called China-01-01 or sum like that is in my server

[zinc marlin]

the names that you see in the lobby are global and random except special roles liek emissaries, friends, etc(they appear always if on the same map in lobby)

[hazy veldt]

Lobby =/= server.

[restive current]

im preparing to my lead levels increased

[restive current]

phew

thanks

was scared for a sec

[sinful valve]

Lol my friend saw a guy with the literal name child rapist yesterday

[restive current]

💀

was prepared for a sick nigh raid instead i get this

[zinc marlin]

should be an empty(not crowded) raid

since you cant use NODs half of the raid and its a bit too dark without them in the second half

[bold kernel]

throw them into a bush

[zinc marlin]

i bet he didnt take any with him so hes fine

[restive current]

i did

[zinc marlin]

damn

[zinc marlin]

[rigid wind]

is there only 1 tech store?

[restive current]

on interchange i think there are 3

[rigid wind]

im at the red one rn where are the rest

[restive current]

if you go donw the escalator in front of it

on the left i believe theres another one

u gotta walk a bit further for the last one

[whole thistle]

4 including german

ikea office is also really cracked for tech

[restive current]

dang theres a german one

thats the only one imma go to no 🧢

[rigid wind]

down the escalators in front is the exit?

[restive current]

the escalator right next to the red one

there is one around there

[whole thistle]

there's an escalator literally right outside techlight

[restive current]

sign's white

[rigid wind]

ohhh mb

[whole thistle]

texho is the first store to the left at the bottom

[sinful valve]

Just keep beating your head against a proverbial wall till you figure it out. I believe in you

[restive current]

dang i need mechanic lvl 2 for the bitcoin trade

[sinful valve]

Huh? That trade is fucking garbage

Don’t do it

[violet light]

bitcoin trade is trash. Waste of money. Just sell them and buy the items on flea for the e-motor trade

[restive current]

i used to find a lot of tetrizes and batteries

[sinful valve]

You finding green bats regularly?

[restive current]

whats that trade

[restive current]

last wipe yea

found abunch of em

E226

[sinful valve]

Sweet

[whole thistle]

if you get them now just sell lol

[restive current]

i believe

[restive current]

oi

[restive current]

aight

[hazy veldt]

Only reason to do LL2 trade is if you hate money and need space really bad.

[whole thistle]

hes saying a trade to receive bitcoin not bitcoin for wcase

[hazy veldt]

And you are a slow leveller.

[violet light]

also a bad trade

[hazy veldt]

Tetriz greenbattery trade is really bad.

[violet light]

greenbats are like 190K each. That alone is more expensive than the bitcoin you get

[whole thistle]

yeah

[restive current]

oh yea last wipe they were like 30k

[violet light]

unless you like hoarding bitcoins for the lolz. I am tempted to load up a money case with them for funzies

[restive current]

aight then

[whole thistle]

just play lighthouse like 3 times and youll already be there

[violet light]

[rigid wind]

damn u survive lighthouse

[bold kernel]

not a beginner question but what's the most profitable crafts for workbench 3 and lavatory 3? Just spent like 4 mil uprgrading and i want some money back

[zinc marlin]

having an RR helps

[rigid wind]

rr?

[zinc marlin]

Red Rebel

[vagrant cargo]

the rr extract is meh when path to shoreline exists

[violet light]

@bold kernel

[bold kernel]

thanks

[crimson wharf]

wtf, how do you disconnect from a game so you can reconnect?

[zinc marlin]

you can do 7 minute runs with full ass of bitcoins and stuff liek that from chalet

[bold kernel]

alt f4

[crimson wharf]

well fuck me

[vagrant cargo]

path to shoreline ez extract

[bold kernel]

I just give answers.

[vagrant cargo]

also which one is chalet again

forgor

[hazy veldt]

https://tarkov.guru/hideout-profit/

[zinc marlin]

top one ig

[hazy veldt]

Basically, nothing is level 3 required.

[vagrant cargo]

The good one

The bottom one is BAD

[zinc marlin]

ye

[vagrant cargo]

It’s so dog

[crimson wharf]

is the bottom one the one with the tennis courts?

[vagrant cargo]

No that’s the good one

[whole thistle]

fuck those names

ive always just called them "big mansion" and "small mansion"

[vagrant cargo]

chateau

which one is small

they’re both huge

[whole thistle]

bottom one is smaller

[zinc marlin]

nah

[vagrant cargo]

also not even worth checking

[whole thistle]

sometimes its "uhh the fucking the one with the garage"

[vagrant cargo]

most dogshit building

[whole thistle]

theres an intel spawn i the garage

[zinc marlin]

lol

[whole thistle]

its good to check while running by

[vagrant cargo]

still dog

[whole thistle]

the outdoor kitchen thing is also good for when i forgot to eat before coming in

[zinc marlin]

its a nice place to die, very comfy, wooden floor

the hill controls almost all exits

[warm minnow]

is the metal fuel tank --> grenade case worth it?

[vagrant cargo]

Not much profit to be made I think

[whole thistle]

if it's empty and youre just crafting it to use it yourself then yes

[violet light]

no you lose moeny

better to buy the grenade case and craft the stuff that's actually profitable. Use those bits for scav cases

[vagrant cargo]

what the fuck even is profitable

[whole thistle]

zased ^

crafting profit is a myth

im a profit denier

[gloomy valve]

What 12/20 should I use for PvP?

[violet light]

lmao. whatever you can buy cheaper on the flea and sell for more after you craft it

[vagrant cargo]

“What’s profitable” “the profitable crafts”

😍😍😍

[violet furnace]

"waht should i do in game?" "play it"

[vagrant cargo]

people in here fr so helpful

[crude widget]

any tips for hunting PMC's on shoreline? New to pvp and I need it for a quest

[vagrant cargo]

😍

[vagrant cargo]

punisher ?

[crude widget]

ye

[zinc marlin]

rush resort like a madman and die a lot

[crude widget]

should I take a class 3 or 4 armor? or dont bother?

[zinc marlin]

if ur decent u will trade with some before u die @crude widget

[violet light]

highest armor you can economically afford, always. Tier 3 doesn't stop anything pmuch. Tier4 is minimum for pvp

[vagrant cargo]

Punisher so dogshit

[zinc marlin]

i used to rush it in first two weeks. Its fun early wipe

[crude widget]

ty

[zinc marlin]

rmt basically

i got a msg from him too

[violet furnace]

probably

[crude widget]

whats rmt?

[violet furnace]

real money trading. when u pay real money and u get smth in game

[crude widget]

sounds dumb af and a great way to lose money

[crude widget]

got a tier 4 armor vest, any reccomendations for helmets?

[violet light]

https://i.redd.it/m9xz9fbczfj61.png

Ratnik for budget for 2 bleach or Ulach

[swift cove]

hard disagree, you can get 6b47 cheaper than ratnik and it's better

plus ratnik is so bad i'd rather wear no helmet than wear it

[thick juniper]

any tips on getting rye croutons everytime i get one i just die before i can extract where can i find these

[violet light]

sir the 6b47 is the ratnik

6B47 Ratnik-BSh helmet

[swift cove]

oh sry then, thought the ssh is ratnik

[river rampart]

@crude widget@restive current ignore the message and report it as spam

[restive current]

alr did

[bold kernel]

how much is car battery worth? do i have to use it somewhere?

[swift cove]

and was reffering more to the tier list than what you wrote

[violet light]

ssh is garbage imo

[zinc marlin]

but there is two kind of ratniks btw, ones green, the other ones camo

[thick juniper]

whats the best area to get rye croutons

[violet light]

so I disagree on pest on this one

[violet light]

I'm talking about the aluminum one that you can barter for 2 bleach

[zinc marlin]

yes, there is a camo variant of this helmet. They are identical, just visually different

[bold kernel]

will i ever need the "unknown" key?

[zinc marlin]

only once

[bold kernel]

and do i ever need the machinery key after prepors mission?

[zinc marlin]

same(you wont)

[bold kernel]

k

and will i ever need Mtapes after getting security lvl 1?

like?

[zinc marlin]

for the altyn barter but i wouldnt care about it since ur beginner @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

5 mtapes?

[merry vapor]

Just sell mtapes lmao

[zinc marlin]

ye

[merry vapor]

Just buy if you need them 🙄

[zinc marlin]

mtapes is the most common loot i believe

[bold kernel]

i needed 5 raids to find 1

on customs

[astral gorge]

is there any good loot in the shacks at lighthouse

[green raft]

profitable crafts workbench lvl 2?

[merry vapor]

Yes

[zinc marlin]

i dont think there is any

there is some useful tho for urself

[green raft]

besides alternating magnum and blue gun idk

[merry vapor]

Flechettes, just craft then sell on market. Not sure how much it makes

[zinc marlin]

you spend on the fuel more than you get

[merry vapor]

Unless it lvl 3 idk tbh

[zinc marlin]

since the flea ammo ban workbench is a non-profit thing imo

[green raft]

until btc and solar yeah prob

but scav runs i make ez cash so idc

fucking nikita bro

[zinc marlin]

i like the change

[merry vapor]

Same gives a reason to do some quest

[bold kernel]

whats the best way to get fence rep?

[green raft]

i progress too slow for it to impact me significantly anyways

[green raft]

pmc car extracts

[merry vapor]

Car extracts, killing pmcs as scavs

[green raft]

you can do it like 5 times on every map and itll give you large amts of rep

decreasing each time ofc

[bold kernel]

im on -0.6 rep

[zinc marlin]

having 2+ rep is enough

[nova sentinel]

why do i see noone using stab with melee

[zinc marlin]

i bet the most dont even know you can lmao

[whole thistle]

because the people stupid enough to use melee don't know too much about the game

[bold kernel]

no one even uses melee

[nova sentinel]

does stab do more damage but hits slower like in every other game

[zinc marlin]

depends on the weapon, if its a sword yes

[nova sentinel]

ok ty

[vagrant cargo]

love doing a shit quest on the worst map in the game

[bold kernel]

ye if its a standart one, but if you have anything else and/or can run away you should take that option
running at someone is already problematic enough, but stabbing him, well, it´ll take some minutes

[nova sentinel]

it would be cool to do mayby tf2 spy rp

[violet light]

just don't bring a melee weapon imo. Not worth the weight

[lapis marsh]

Can anyone help a lvl6 out with doing task at woods....

[zinc marlin]

once it will happen to you too, when you and your opponent shoot everything at eachother and then just stoopidly stare at each other, thats the moment when a nicely placed hit with an axe can be deciding

[whole thistle]

yeah

double click any melee it tells you

[bold kernel]

And you can place a weapon you found in raid in that place

[violet light]

[bold kernel]

And then you won't loose it

[nova sentinel]

ok ty

[whole thistle]

i bring it for the weight because of strength

[bold kernel]

I already got a pretty rare knife, died and made the money back from the knife

[whole thistle]

not like you find expensive melees ever

[violet light]

gotta get your ass hauling more loot outta raids lol

[violet light]

fulcrum is 10k I guess

[whole thistle]

im full every raid, i dont have an issue with that

[bold kernel]

Those can save your ass when your grinding for knife gun barter

[whole thistle]

😴

[lapis marsh]

can anyone help us out with task getting Jaegers encrypted message. newish to game grinding lvls and tasks

[bold kernel]

First contact with Jaeger?

[lapis marsh]

yhyh

[bold kernel]

I practiced my ass off on that one in offline mode. Was such a pain.

When the time came, I brought food and water, waited ~10 minutes, went to his site, then went to extract.

[lapis marsh]

Ive ran scavs getting use to the terrain etc but maps massive so i get lost easy or blown up by mines or just generaly killed on sight lol

[bold kernel]

Waiting probably wasn't smart. Gives time for people to set up at sniper points.

Orienteering used to be a class in school. You gotta use those skills.

[lapis marsh]

Gt it 2 3 times then again get lost looking for exvil

[bold kernel]

Practice... You can also buy a compass

[whole thistle]

never buy a compass

its insanely overpriced

[bold kernel]

It's like 120k, right?

It helped me what I needed to do early on 🤷

[swift cove]

36K on flea rn which isn't too bad

[lapis marsh]

Yea it aint cheap

[swift cove]

but I think you get it from some task

[bold kernel]

If you're doing jaeger's first, you probably don't have access to flea.

[quaint quarry]

Yeah you get one fairly early

while doing tasks

[lapis marsh]

am only level 6, why am trying to do tasks

[bold kernel]

doing tasks is better than not doing tasks.

I'm still doing beginner level quests as a level 23 or so.

[whole thistle]

free for search mission

[bold kernel]

Can they do that mission before finding jaeger?

[whole thistle]

i think so

yeah its prapors 2nd mission

[swift cove]

yep

[hollow storm]

anyone know which labs card i should get first?

[swift cove]

still compass isn't that usefull, much better to just look for landmarks

[bold kernel]

access

[swift cove]

yellow and black are the best value for money

[whole thistle]

lmao

[zinc marlin]

makes navigation for beginners easier imo

[whole thistle]

i keep forgetting yellow isnt shit anymore

[zinc marlin]

it is

still

[whole thistle]

the cardinal directions are fucked on every map, it hurts more than it helps most of the time

woods is the only one where they're right

[vagrant cargo]

[bold kernel]

Woods is the one they're having trouble with.

[zinc marlin]

wierd, for me its the woods that s fucked up

[whole thistle]

ik i mean in general not just woods

[bold kernel]

I haven't needed it for any other map.

[zinc marlin]

same

[violet light]

Nice for getting coordinate numbers on enemy locations and airdrops with your squad

[bold kernel]

what is the number that shows up in lower right hand corner when you switch guns?

[whole thistle]

i tried using it on shoreline and went in the wrong direction 7 times

[zinc marlin]

yes but if the squad is expirienced landmarks will do the job too @violet light

[bold kernel]

Ok.

[blazing kraken]

should i keep this 42nd tea

[lapis marsh]

Soo can anyone help us out with task getting Jaegers encrypted message. newish to game grinding lvls and tasks

[violet light]

#pvp-lfg sir

[swift cove]

maybe for new players, for well coordinated people it's just a waste of time to pullout a compass mid fight when everybody knows callouts etc

[glossy gale]

[whole thistle]

[glossy gale]

lmfao

you can never have too much of an ammo that costs literally nothing

[remote kettle]

id go for a better armor. korunds gonna give way very quickly

[indigo kayak]

when does the game wipe?

[buoyant swift]

PFFT, i just ran into people fully geared camping a low lvl quest

[whole thistle]

usually every 6 months, last one was december 12th

??wipe

[red current]

The last wipe commenced on 12th December 2021.

[bold kernel]

I just used this and caught another PMC crouching to loot.

[violet light]

🔥 👺

[vagrant cargo]

resorts is dogshit

every shoreline player is a tryhard

[crude widget]

for shoreline which extract is the more popular one to avoid? tunnel or path to lighthouse

[violet light]

[violet light]

path to lighthouse is generally safer I think

Many seem to like Road to Customs or Tunnel

[vagrant cargo]

unironically only been sprayed with top tier ammo and met mfs with armor i aint ever examined

so thats fun

[violet light]

[vagrant cargo]

right

[copper sphinx]

This game is so shit

Honestly

How is it fucking fair tgat i get one shot to the head while wearing a fucking killa helmet and then get no xp

There goes my fucking scav rep for nothing

[orchid mica]

Need some help running some quests if anyone is available. DM me. TY! 21+

[tepid gulch]

[copper sphinx]

Would be a tad bit funny to be honest

[merry vapor]

praying on your downfall gardredd 🙏

[copper sphinx]

I saw the spelling mistake

[violet light]

Hope you have a good raid lol. Too many haters in here 😂

[merry vapor]

shh

[strong barn]

hahaha

[copper sphinx]

I pray upon every bodys downfall including people irl

[buoyant swift]

Should I do a knife run to grab the bronze pocket watch and leave?

[copper sphinx]

Gl

[violet light]

I see. So you’re like a human turkey vulture

[copper sphinx]

Praying sniper scav gives u another hole to breath from

[quiet kraken]

what's the price of snb

[buoyant swift]

Ive only died to geared people camping the quest

[copper sphinx]

Pretty mucho just love when people leave behind juicy loot for me and my double barrel

[violet light]

No hunting capabilities and loves trash

[copper sphinx]

Well just ask someone here to go with u

[violet light]

and I’m homosexual

[buoyant swift]

I've done that a few times. They die, then I die, or vice versa.

[copper sphinx]

Idc mate

[river rampart]

@copper sphinx respect others

[pure talon]

last chance to join the giveaway

[hollow storm]

anyone else running the mp-153?

[copper sphinx]

Well heres an idea u send them out and then u run

[violet light]

Yeah that’s my go-to for silent caliber

[hollow storm]

silent?

[violet light]

Good MAO and is long af so I can overcompensate for my low self esteem

[hollow storm]

you use flechettes?

[violet light]

AP-20

[hollow storm]

meh

[serene reef]

@buoyant swift that happens yeah, nobody really tries to ONLY grab the watch?

[hollow storm]

the moa is irrelevant if youre using slugs

[copper sphinx]

Lads the discord mod has silenced me 😭😭😭

[serene reef]

Where are you from :o ?

[violet light]

Why’s that sir

[hollow storm]

bc 11 moa is still too much at range

[violet light]

Better than 22 with the 155

[primal breach]

best resort budget loadout

in the galaxy

acp ap with a vector and a tv

[violet light]

5.4. Not great but passable under 100M

[copper sphinx]

Nice

[shrewd bane]

thats budget...?

[primal breach]

yes?

like 400k

[hollow storm]

how did you get 5.4?

[shrewd bane]

400k is not budget for me

[primal breach]

then u poor

[shrewd bane]

true

[hollow storm]

400k is nowhere near budget

oh nvm

full kit

[mystic oar]

can someone help teach me reserve i want to learn a new map and im starting to get broke 🙏

[violet light]

Also the suppressor kit helps a bit

[livid oar]

Can someone explain to me why some scavs just gun me while others and i just co exist

[pure talon]

you have to make up your mind whether you want to make some money or learn a new map

[mystic oar]

mainly learn a new map

[violet light]

Oh, the AP-20s take off 5 MOA. That explaisn it

[serene reef]

make money = find something that works on a map you know

knowing customs really well can turn into a good income source

and the biggest tip for new players is to literally "just not die"

and ik it sounds stupid

[shrewd bane]

what are good maps for snipers except woods?

[delicate leaf]

waht is super water used for?

[delicate leaf]

shorline and lighthouse

[serene reef]

but if you survive 1/3 times, you're spending 200k on a loadout

[violet light]

so 200m with a 5MOA pretty bad. Under 100M is reasonable

[serene reef]

that's 600k spent

you need to make 600k in that raid to come to 0

but if you get 1/2 its 400k etc

[serene reef]

survive 2-3 times in a row making less money

and making even only 200k a run you get 600k-loadout

[serene reef]

making moonshine

[vagrant cargo]

i am content

[serene reef]

its more about playstyle than what is good

i do enjoy sniping from time to time playing for fun

i can't utilize the 3-9x bugged scope that gives like 12x zoom and 20x zoom i swear

on customs

[delicate leaf]

is it worth makign moonshine or should i just cell

sell

[serene reef]

only on lighthouse tbh cause idk how to get on top of sniper rocks and i cba to try ig?

[delicate leaf]

bc i am upgrading the booz rhing rn

[serene reef]

anyone who makes moonshine can produce superwater

[shrewd bane]

i get that but i feel like some maps will just be better than others

[violet light]

sugar prices kinda crazy right now. If you can get it under 85k each maybe

[serene reef]

although it takes more than making mooshine

[serene reef]

that's why i'm still using the sugar i gather throughout the wipe xD

god im tired-

[violet light]

the emelya trade with Jaeger is good. If you can bag that on reset then it's definitely worth it

[serene reef]

just find sugar tbf?

[hollow storm]

moa is messed up in tarkov

[serene reef]

like sugar compared to last wipe is SOOO COMMON

like wth

[violet light]

sure. But if you can sell the sugar and water for more than the moonshine net fees then why

[serene reef]

go crackhouse fortress wh4 and you magically end up with 5 sugars xD

[violet light]

unless you're trying to level crafting

[serene reef]

why would it be more though

[strong barn]

woods also has more sugar than you can shake a stick at

[serene reef]

supply and demand

[crude widget]

so ive been watching power and gas on shoreline for like 3 games now and no pmcs have shown up. I dont think im equipped enough/gear fear about resort, and I dont wanna extract camp. Are there any options viable to me here?

[serene reef]

sugar is used mostly for moonshine

for crafting it

[copper sphinx]

Just got 3-0 in the quiz thing 😭

[serene reef]

so its not gonna be more expensive

right?

[violet light]

sugar is 90k and water is 100k. Moonshine sells for about 280-290k

so you might make a small profit

[serene reef]

whats the fee?

[whole crest]

Like 20k I’m sure

Maybe a bit more

[buoyant swift]

Nah, they run there to help me then go. "lets check every chache on customs"

[bold kernel]

my guy ran into my angle and I still lost

[copper sphinx]

So how did the raid go

[serene reef]

well because you never really waste time trying to do a simple objective like that xd

[violet light]

22.6k for moonshine + sugar and 21K for moonshine

I still craft it because why not. But it's not necessarily more profitable

[serene reef]

SAME XD

[violet light]

I'd like to think that I get crafting xp from it but not sure. It's about breakeven either way

[dire eagle]

Well, if you want to include listing fee for moonshine into the equation, then you have to do the same for selling the sugar/superwater. Pretty sure you at least break even, + you get hideout management levelled which is nice

[delicate leaf]

they should make it so if you kill a rouge as a scav that you get + karma

[finite terrace]

god the desync in this game is terrible it's not even worth holding corners

[delicate leaf]

bc they usec

[copper sphinx]

Guys im about to hit level 15

[violet light]

that's what I did bud

[delicate leaf]

ayyyyy i see you

[copper sphinx]

Just got to get one kill on factory

[bold kernel]

pass 3 pmc fights I had the advantage and still lost

[violet light]

some things cannot be explained with logic. For example I like hoarding BTC and GPs just because I like how they look piling up in my money cases 😆 same with moonshine

[buoyant swift]

True but it gets camped a lot for me

[violet light]

do you get any skill points for using scav case?

[serene reef]

out of prob 100 riads

i've seen it camped

exactly ||0|| times

no like 4real

barely anybody even passes that area

[sinful valve]

Caches?

Or something else?

[serene reef]

bronze watch

[sinful valve]

Oh

[serene reef]

its not even a lot of loot there

[sinful valve]

Nah nobody camps that it’s just a hot spot

[serene reef]

its not even a hot spot thoo

[whole crest]

Hot spot?

[sinful valve]

Lots of foot traffic

[serene reef]

its just an alt route to crackhouse

a hot spot example of traffic is usec camp

[sinful valve]

Not a fighting spot just lots of people moving to and from

[serene reef]

because of the new od village money route and that having lots of loot itself

[zealous island]

This happened, why cant i turn it in?

[serene reef]

do you pay attention to what they tell you

[sinful valve]

You died with it in your inventory

[serene reef]

the quest tells you to give the letter to therapist

[whole crest]

Therapist

[zealous island]

i didnt die

[sinful valve]

Gotta get it again

Oh

[serene reef]

not to prapor

[sinful valve]

That’s weird

[serene reef]

xD

[zealous island]

i think its was for run through

[violet light]

oops

[whole crest]

Give to therapist

[copper sphinx]

I did it level 15 !!!!!!!

[merry vapor]

[violet light]

congrats. Tarkov is your oyster now

[serene reef]

[copper sphinx]

But i had to kill an naked on the way 😦

[serene reef]

I FEEL DEEPLY OFFENDED

[violet light]

nakeds have it coming

[serene reef]

ofc they thank someone who said the same thing as me later xd

[copper sphinx]

He did the little teabag and tryed to loot

So now time to repay him

[sinful valve]

It’s too late for you now… you’re beyond saving

Embrace the addiction

Bro the reserve raider farm is kinda thicc

So easy

I ran up in there with a pistol and night vision and came out with $300k in like 6 minutes

[whole crest]

Is reserve the money map now

[long crystal]

What is the actual spawn chance for Intel to spawn in a spawn location

[sinful valve]

No

[sinful valve]

Idk but crackhouse has like 5 spawns so just keep hitting it

[long crystal]

either find nothing or die when I go crackhouse

[sinful valve]

Damn

[strong barn]

only the servers know

[serene reef]

crackhouse is best intel imo

[long crystal]

been trying to learn reserve instead

[buoyant swift]

It's been camped every raid I've tried to do the quest

[long crystal]

for intel

[serene reef]

what do you want to bet that if i take you with me rn it wont be camped

[long crystal]

(I only know customs)

[sinful valve]

You need it for a quest?

[buoyant swift]

idk. You're EU though

[long crystal]

ye intel center 1

[serene reef]

i can play NAE

[long crystal]

love to scav

[serene reef]

but you gotta make it a worthy bet

[sinful valve]

Oh just buy that shit

[long crystal]

level 7

[sinful valve]

Oh

[serene reef]

dont focus on hideout too much

[long crystal]

almost 1 scav rep tho

[serene reef]

progress quests

get lvl 15

[sinful valve]

Somebody correct me if I’m wrong but there’s not much benefit with intel early

[serene reef]

seriously

[bold kernel]

ive heard otherwise

[sinful valve]

At most I’d get the simple stuff leveled up just to do base level stuff

[copper sphinx]

The naked has gone offline 😦

[serene reef]

there's not much benefit for hideout till lav 2? for ice cream cones

[long crystal]

but

I love scavvin

[serene reef]

everything can wait till lvl 15

[sinful valve]

Listen if I could go back to lvl aw hidout

[sinful valve]

I would go back to lav 1 just for the shit bucket

[serene reef]

you can make scavvy friends? soo nice

[serene reef]

i do hideout when possible too

i keep track of items i need

[long crystal]

I died to a scav on a pmc run and lost a bunch of shit I had insured

[serene reef]

and if i see any i take them

even if they're not too worth

[long crystal]

felt like such a idiot

[serene reef]

but there's no reason to try to find it without questing

[vagrant cargo]

hello this game is shit

[merry vapor]

just bought a 300k sewing kit 👍

[whole crest]

Happens

[serene reef]

like you're gonna go ic because you need hoses?

[vagrant cargo]

Why is everyone uber geared

[serene reef]

better quest and get 15

[long crystal]

even though I died in the ass end of nowhere on custom,s

[serene reef]

ESPECIALLY this late in wipe

[long crystal]

someone apparently still looted my armor ump and my really good 7.62x25 rounds

[whole crest]

Its funny how everyone transitioned to lv 5 armor all of a sudden

[serene reef]

when its early its pog to run ic because hideout stuff super expensive

do that after 15 anyway

[serene reef]

ikr?

[vagrant cargo]

It’s also funny how I seem to always get shot with ammo that has at the very least 47pen

Which I don’t have yet

Punisher 4 is dogshit

[whole crest]

Took me like a week

[bold kernel]

Teaching labs for new/never played labs players hmu

Yes

[vagrant cargo]

Dogshit quest 😍😍

[vagrant cargo]

M80 has like 42 pen

[serene reef]

i didnt skip on gear and i watched too much landmark and bakeezy xD

[quiet kraken]

thank you z33d :)

[serene reef]

i believe my first wipe it took me 3 days tho

i was running only mp5 with ap6.3 in 50rounders xD

[sinful valve]

Listen bro. I put down trios with tier 5 and 6 easy with M80 you’ll be aight

[shell kindle]

Custom scavs hit different

[serene reef]

just rushing resort xD

[vagrant cargo]

Yeah I try to do this type of shit but the audio in resorts is dogshit

[long crystal]

is it worth trying to get a 5/7 at level 7 lmao

[buoyant swift]

I took one step off the truck then blasted

[long crystal]

I really want one

it seems like it's the best sidearm

[sinful valve]

It’s fun but the ammo is hard to get

[serene reef]

thats why you either lie low and wait till they go middle of corridor

[sinful valve]

Only when you can buy ss190 and ss193

[serene reef]

or you blast them when they outside

[vagrant cargo]

Eh

[long crystal]

that's like PK level 3

[whole crest]

IM GOING TO BECOME LABS MAIN

[vagrant cargo]

I can’t get drums

So I gotta use like, shotguns n shit

[serene reef]

best early recommendations are imo 54539 aks

[long crystal]

1 hr later: "i am no longer a labs main"

[whole crest]

I’m going to turn my brain off

[vagrant cargo]

I am not using an mp5

[serene reef]

if you can find BP BT ammo

[sinful valve]

Yeah that’s what I’m trying to tell you

[bold kernel]

Message me when ur ready to play

[copper sphinx]

I joined some dudes team and he just killed me 😭😭😭

[serene reef]

if not shotguns

smgs

[sinful valve]

It’s not worth till pk 3 imo

[whole crest]

Yea I’ll make ur to dm you

[vagrant cargo]

How

Why

[serene reef]

ROF legs

[whole crest]

I’ve ran it Atleast 30 times

[long crystal]

ranking up traders just seems impossible

[serene reef]

+headeyes if possible

[whole crest]

I suck at pvp tho

[long crystal]
