[versed temple]

every scav on interchange is killa litttt

[dire eagle]

Used in some barters and in the quest Import at lvl 35 (after farming part 4). However it can be crafted in the intel center (1 labs card + 2 signal jammers, so you lose a little money), so its not crucial that you hold on to it or anything

[rain wing]

aight

[whole thistle]

precautions incase i die before getting to reload

[sterile minnow]

[astral gorge]

strats

[hoary zealot]

[bold kernel]

I'm about to leave a lot of dirty messages

[pure talon]

no

[whole thistle]

i killed a dude with his mags tagged once

[pure talon]

o.O

[bold kernel]

Please drop, I'm poor

[whole thistle]

lmao

the tags disappear if you take them though, they only show while youre looking into the body

[austere hound]

Yeah so if you find a better rig & transfer your mags, the tags go away

[dense hawk]

like binding a med to key, some thing happens

40 rounders with fjm claps

fmj

[sterile minnow]

yeah that shit hurt

I thought about buying 1 and requeing factory

[sterile minnow]

but im not that rich

[urban wolf]

ive never seen this

is it good?

[frozen sand]

its the best 556

pen wise

[urban wolf]

i thought m995 was

[frozen sand]

no this is slightly better

[lethal helm]

black tip= good

sometimes

[frozen sand]

its like the same pretty much

[urban wolf]

when is it not good

[frozen sand]

this in a modded adar

[lethal helm]

pst

[frozen sand]

= profit

[urban wolf]

ok yea pst

this is why i like lighthouse

only thing i brought was the m700 with 6 shots

[lethal helm]

i dont even know where to find good shit in lighthouse

[frozen sand]

u should have put that mule in ur ass 🙂 100k

(incase u died)

[rain wing]

tub man

[urban wolf]

no

i did that last time

i dont even use injectors in raids unless its a propitol

propital

it would still only sell for like 25k to therapist if it isnt found in raid

[dense hawk]

its worth 100k to someone who uses them

[steel atlas]

nobody wants to play with newbies

[frozen sand]

u should start using / bringing mule, if you kill a juicer u can actually carry it

profit

[hoary zealot]

lmfao, i just ran face first into gluhar and the bois, feels bad

[urban wolf]

i never kill juicers

unless theyre sitting still

but then they always have their boyfriend with them

[tacit ferry]

FR THOUGH

[teal oak]

😂

[open hedge]

welp i guess i gotta do this

[crude mountain]

can I do prapors, skiers & therapists quest where I have to mark the transport with chemicals with one marker or will I need 3?

I have the quest active on all traders

[open hedge]

just one

[crude mountain]

sweet thanks

[open hedge]

you choose who you want to give it to

[crude mountain]

oh

[open hedge]

you dont get all 3 of the rewards

[crude mountain]

rip

[open hedge]

you lose .25 rep for all you dont give it to

choose wisely

[crude mountain]

🙃

gonna have to be therapist. need her for level 3 medstation

[whole crest]

😍

[open hedge]

take into account that you get tasks to get the rep back

therapist wants a few keys (not too bad) and skier wants 1m roubles

i cant remember prapors

@crude mountain

[crude mountain]

thanks for the heads up

[tacit ferry]

gah damn

[whole thistle]

dome time

[whole thistle]

you get rep regain quests for the 2 people you didnt give it to

[hoary zealot]

just wondering would anyone be interested in doing server takeovers in order to farm/quest?

[tacit ferry]

how many people spawn on labs?

4-5?

Idr

[hoary zealot]

up to 10 iirc

[tacit ferry]

Alr

factory is around the same righy?

[hoary zealot]

factory is 4-6

[teal oak]

it's either 5 or 6 on factory

[tacit ferry]

Alr

[bold kernel]

anyoen tryna help with resevre quests

[hoary zealot]

^ same

[long crystal]

If I run out of time for a task while mid-raid, and then satisfy the objectives, what happens

[hoary zealot]

they fail if you dont hand it in by time limit, even mid raid

[long crystal]

no point then

rip

[buoyant swift]

[orchid minnow]

what is the best map to make money?

[fleet garnet]

Can anyone halp me stash the multitool/sv98 on shoreline for peacekeeper?

[thick juniper]

Whats the unknown reward for farming part 4

[violet light]

Lighthouse and woods

But imo the best map to make money is the one you know the most thoroughly. Other than factory all the maps have solid loot potential. And even on factory if you’re a Chad at pvp you can make good money

[orchid minnow]

The problem is after I make a runnable kit and insure it, I barely make profit

[open hedge]

scav on spawn

[violet light]

Then your focus should be on surviving your raids to cut down on kit costs. Figure out what landmarks players are fighting over on the map and find ways to navigate safely depending on the raid time

[orchid minnow]

Alr, thank you

[coral osprey]

how do you find a "dead server"? lol

[open hedge]

go somewhere nobody that plays this game lives

israel

is a good one for EU

[proven wave]

anyone got a 545 ak budget build

[long crystal]

does this actually work?

[shrewd sentinel]

whats survivor class

[shrewd sentinel]

senator armstrong holy shit

[open hedge]

yes it does

ive done it

its a lot harder in the us tho

[long crystal]

I'm in Florida atm

Which server would you recommend

[open hedge]

just select the servers you suspect have lower populations

[long crystal]

For some weird reason the Orlando server has like a minute longer match time than all the rest

[open hedge]

trail and error may be needed

[rugged ibex]

Hey just got the game i need help learning

[open hedge]

use the ticket in here #sherpa-info

[buoyant swift]

How do you tell what someone killed you with?

[long crystal]

Wouldn't you also run into people doing the same thing

Or just you introduce the possibility of a non full lobby

[open hedge]

look at ammo and guess based of rof

[buoyant swift]

Where is that?

[open hedge]

health page post death

[tacit ferry]

So hypothetically I can get into empty labs servers

[buoyant swift]

Doesn't show ammo

[open hedge]

introduces possibility of empty plus most people hide to reduce risks on these servers so youll just run into rats

[open hedge]

the therapist heal page shows the ammo that is a fact

[buoyant swift]

OH! OPkay thank you, sorry

eerrr, 7.62x51mm M62 Tracer

[open hedge]

that could be many things

guess based on noise and RoF

[dusky geyser]

does anyone have a good sound comparison for weapons? i feel like not knowing what i’m walking into isn’t that productive

[tacit ferry]

You kind of learn the sounds as you play mor

more

[violet furnace]

Where should I go and what to loot at lighthouse scav? I don't want to go rogues but for money

[buoyant swift]

Wheres the waterr in dorms again>

[teal oak]

206 two story

[teal oak]

tents , helicopter, warehouse 1, 2 then exit through industrial gates

[buoyant swift]

ah shit...whats room 303 then?

[teal oak]

golden swag quest

[buoyant swift]

oh...i found the key and thought I could get the water

[warm minnow]

fuck that quest. i finished like 2 days ago. dorms hates my guts. always full of kitted squads D:

[vocal scroll]

can somebody help me make roubles

[patent depot]

help with this bug?

[warm minnow]

does tarkov have weird ghosting LOD sometimes? or can players be invisible

also wtf happened with this guy here. acting so weird i thought he was a scav xD

didnt even notice the armband until i rewatched smh

[daring badge]

Ok so like

I was in Customs

heard and saw two PMCs drop a running scav, got in position to flank them

His buddy runs out, starts looting the body lying flat completely still, buddy runs up too

I take my time, line up my AK, shoot single fire, breath held

No headshot

Take another shot after a second, pacing my shots

No headshot

they unload, im behind cover, somehow they don't hit me. I keep doing slow, methodic shots, this time to their body

They reload, chase me down, kill me.

I... still don't understand how me ADSing with a pristine AKM at 20 meters, sighted for 50, at a lying down target looting, breath held, on what looked to be a relatively low level armor didn't get a headshot kill.

Like-

I don't know how I could of missed. In any other game I feel like I would have had a headshot.

Even if I would have died to the second player I wouldn't have minded. getting a headshot and setting myself up to get the drop on two players was a great play

but like-

I got 15 hits out of 30 on an AK, and neither of them died.

[bold kernel]

ammo type

[daring badge]

like 360 body damage apparently.

[bold kernel]

?

[daring badge]

Oh, shit PS, but I thought that still has high enough pen to get headshots

I guess I could have switched to leg shots, but like- In any other shooter I know for a fact that would have been a headshot.

It was a perfectly still target, I did literally every thing you could do to increase accuracy, waited my time

I had someone else WATCHING me and they said, over stream- "That looked like a headshot"

Like- Im like checking sight zeroing and everything else I possibly can to analyze what i could have done wrong there

If i would have gotten the headshot, I would have basically been able to win the fight. I did everything I've seen on guides. THey didn't even know I was there.

Is the AKM not pixel accurate out to 20 meters?

Sorry, AKS

[bold kernel]

unlucky lol

prob had good helmet?

if u think u hit the shot

[daring badge]

It didn't look that good. Maybe tier 3 at most.

Im just like

upset.

sad.

[bold kernel]

welcome to the tarkov experience

[urban wolf]

Holy

[daring badge]

but like- I did everything I should have there

[urban wolf]

That was close

Too close

I took my 2583 backpacks with 10 aks inside of it

[daring badge]

like if there was something I could learn from that or take from that I wouldn't be upset

[urban wolf]

To factory

But luckily i stopped before i mayched

[daring badge]

its like- How the hell am I supposed to even trust that the game isn't fucking me. I WANT to play better and get better but this takes me so far out of it

[urban wolf]

What

[bold kernel]

whats ur lvl

is this ur first wipe?

[daring badge]

Second, but I dropped the game pretty hard last time when something similar happened to me

[urban wolf]

Oh yea this game is shit with accuracy

I literally lay down

Shoot a rogue from 30 metres away

Jn head

And doesnt even hit it

So lame

[daring badge]

Im like- 10, so I know I can't blame most shit on the game screwing me. and I usually don't

[urban wolf]

Yes you can

Dumbest stuff ever

[daring badge]

The only two pieces of suspect shit I've had for the last 50 games are that and someone who was clearly hacking

[urban wolf]

I literally shot a pmc in the head with 7.62x39 BP while he sitting still

And it missed

[daring badge]

I was in deep forest at night, heard a gunshot, ran off and laid in the bush for a minute to make sure no one was approaching me.

Stood up, ran off

perfect side headshot in the underbrush, at night, without any back lighting on me, with tree cover, from a new player.

Unverified as well

[urban wolf]

this game isfull of hackers

[daring badge]

It's the first obvious one ive run into

[urban wolf]

but ive noticed less recently

[warm minnow]

unverified?

[daring badge]

oh i misread google

that's just the report button

but either way it was a low level player with a SKS with no possibility of thermals, and he didn't even attempt follow up shots.

I don't even think he had a armor vest on

[outer dome]

is this a decent gun or should i sell it?

[urban wolf]

keep

i love vss

its better than Asval

[daring badge]

I've been feeling pretty drained from attempting the pakov quest with the watch and just getting gunned down the instant I try to get close.

[urban wolf]

and cheaper

[daring badge]

I was pretty happy about getting aquarius done, though.

[urban wolf]

thats good

[outer dome]

okay ill keep it, thx

[urban wolf]

im still struggling to do postman pat

so hard

all the factory rats with shotguns

[daring badge]

I'm not POOR yet- I got 860k- but I've gotten wiped out 8 times in a row against players with better gear that i don't really have a solution for.

[urban wolf]

thats why u hide

like i do

[daring badge]

And I know I can't afford to try anything fancy just yet.

[urban wolf]

avoid conflict at all times

[daring badge]

I generally hide, but I try to cleanup after 1v1s when i hear them

I'm playing like- smartly, or at least trying to rat properly

[urban wolf]

there is no proper to rat

rat is abstract

different to all

[daring badge]

but I just keep ending up in some troubling situations where i kind of have to just gun it or die

[urban wolf]

Ok that was a cheater

def a cheater

who runs ash 12 on factory

[daring badge]

I think what gets me the most is getting killed from angles that aren't clear.

[urban wolf]

exactly

its cuz of lame lag

youre still visible on their screen

[daring badge]

No, but like-

[urban wolf]

but on ur screen ur behind wall

[daring badge]

an example would be I was near the two story building on customs

The In- fence side, not the river facing one

creep slowly around the windows, just below the windows, because a guy is running around in there

check left window- nothing

check right window- nothing

suddenly dead from the front

[urban wolf]

maybe above?

[daring badge]

oh, totally, but like- i don't know why someone would even assume i'm nearby

I was crouchwalking, and this guy is running like a maniac inside.

[urban wolf]

ok

howcan he hear u over his own steps

[daring badge]

I've never even HEARD another player crouch walk

[urban wolf]

were u slow crouch walking?

or reg speed

[daring badge]

No, but I figured that was enough due to having a wall between us

[urban wolf]

u need to slowcrouch walk

[daring badge]

and it being nighttime on customs pretty close to the start of the round

[urban wolf]

with headset on, its loud

[daring badge]

I just figured with the wall it was enough

man what's even the point of crouchwalk if its not slow enough automatically to drop the noise

im trying to think if theres anything else that's driving me nuts

Oh, scavs sometimes make me annoyed.

[warm minnow]

theres skills for that

[daring badge]

when i was running a decent kit, on my first attempt for the watch, I had a scav suddenly appear out of the bush in front of me on the right side of the green customs wall next to the first entrance to the interior

[urban wolf]

why tf are there raiders on factory

when did this happen

like wtf

[daring badge]

then, as i line up a headshot, he drops into a crouch

and then one taps me

[buoyant swift]

damn. Didn't realized lvl40 people camp dorms

[daring badge]

and im just like- I don't know how I could of predicted all those aspects?

[urban wolf]

u think thats hard?

the scav crouching

u should see rogues and raiders

broken

[daring badge]

It's just like- I've never even seen a scav spawn there

[urban wolf]

rogues will laser you from over 150m away

full auto

[daring badge]

For a game about skill and decision making, tarkov seems to love its randomness on a level beyond just its players acting randoms

[urban wolf]

raiders charge u and snap onto you, giving u no time to even react

and also ive been experiencing noiseless grenades, like udont hear them roll beside u, u just die from it

[daring badge]

I'm usually pretty fine with Scavs, but like- what? I don't know what an experienced player would have done there differently.

I guess they would have taken in all super wide instead?

I suppose that's a pretty good plan. Keeps the road more clear, keeps your back less exposed from the woods.

[opal halo]

when you aim directly at scavs they know and will look directly at you

so you need to shoot quickly when you see them

[daring badge]

wait actualy?

[opal halo]

yes every time

[daring badge]

... even through a bush when you don't realize you're looking at them?

[urban wolf]

NO

no

[daring badge]

That's super fucked up, why would they design that?

[urban wolf]

not through bush

if ur far enough

they wont

[opal halo]

yea if range

need range or they will every time even if they are facing other way

[daring badge]

then I still don't know what made that skav decide to just walk out like that

That's like-

really dumb design

[opal halo]

yup scavs are crazy

[daring badge]

I don't even know why you'd do that.

[opal halo]

all you can say is get good really lol

[daring badge]

That's beyond counterintutive

[opal halo]

yup welcome to tarkov

not designed to be fun

[daring badge]

I understand, it just makes me wish it had a replay system.

or even just a playerside recording of events in game

But like- I don't even know why you'd design the game to do that

[opal halo]

yeah they need to fix whats on their plate before they even think about that tbh

[daring badge]

So If i'm not ready to shoot at a scav, don't look at them?

[urban wolf]

not necessarily

if hes point blank

[daring badge]

like, if i need to check my other angles-

[urban wolf]

shoot even if ur not ready

[daring badge]

well that takes priority point blank

[opal halo]

eventually scavs wont be a problem for u so id say just shoot them all and get better

1 tap

[daring badge]

I mean like if i'm checking for other players

Skavs generally arent a problem for me. I understand them mechanically as what is essentially an unprepared players menace.

my last two skav deaths were that and Me forgetting that skavs are aggressive as fuck

[buoyant swift]

damn, two lvl 40 dorms campers xD

[daring badge]

but like- why would they make skavs become aware of players aiming at them?

that seems completely counterintuitive.

[opal halo]

really hard to code that stuff probably had to or else they would be really dumb

there is 1000 things that sgouldnt be but it is

[daring badge]

Man, maybe i do need to just not play this until the beta's over.

[opal halo]

i mean it is the best game out but many problems

tbh i dont think there will ever be a beta lol

[daring badge]

I really do like the core loop but like- there's just so many questionable decisions

the lack of market access until lvl 15 is another big one

not having proper ammo to fight other players in your PvP survival game is... strange.

[floral veldt]

will i be banned for having a name like Iownslxves?

[warm minnow]

you should

[opal halo]

you jst have to grind people unlocked flea market the first day of wipe

[floral veldt]

my friend changed my name to that.

[opal halo]

no you wont valpha

[warm minnow]

when will that be though?

[daring badge]

I suppose. I'm doing my best.

[floral veldt]

ok thank you

[urban wolf]

tf is this

get kicked out of game

[opal halo]

the game opening lol

[urban wolf]

and this happens

[warm minnow]

find an admin they might be able to help

[frail anvil]

Anticheat crashed restart game

[daring badge]

It's just strange to see this weird advice of like - go get to level 15, by killing players and scavs, so you can get the ammo needed to kill players and scavs more consistently...?

[urban wolf]

yea bad game

released and now too many problems

[opal halo]

no you unlock through traders flea market will help but not sustainable

[frail anvil]

Its still in beta bud

Its been in beta for a while

[urban wolf]

would rather have them close the game for a month or two, fix the important bugs then release again

yea in beta for too long

[frail anvil]

This isnt a finished product

[opal halo]

lol wont happen chiken

[daring badge]

I'm not trying to bitch, really, I just want I guess a better roadmap to get to lvl 15. I think I need to get off Customs.

[urban wolf]

do pmc lighthouse at night

best loot run

[frail anvil]

I dont think chiiken understands the importance of testing

[opal halo]

lighthouse is a deathpit i wouldnt recommend

play interchange reserve custom

[daring badge]

I know the map and know my cash runs, and I've started to die a lot on it once i started trying to do objectives instead of just grab cash.

[urban wolf]

i can guide you through lighthouse

yea

interchange bad

[floral veldt]

alright

[urban wolf]

u get shot from all different angles

[floral veldt]

how do i contact admin?

[daring badge]

but escaping with loot doesn't give that much XP from what i've seen

[opal halo]

i made 200m in a month looting every container on reserve

[frail anvil]

Do your quests, learn the maps, you dont really need to pvp

[daring badge]

So I just need a map where I can kill scavs I guess.

[opal halo]

just find your home nameis find a route and learn the game from that

[main plinth]

hey me and my friend just got the game and did a scav run on shoreline, the first extraction point wasnt working so we went to the next one and it worked for me but not for him, so he went to a 3rd one and that one didnt work either

[frail anvil]

Dont forget the boss and his guards plus raiders

[main plinth]

just wondering why it worked for me but not for him

[daring badge]

The only problem is a lot of these quests take me through areas that are high pop to begin with. I want to finish up that prapov quest, but I only managed to grab it once.

My mistake was trying to score aquarius straight after and looking in the wrong spot, but- eh.

[frail anvil]

Double tap O to see extracts

[urban wolf]

bro u think a lvl 10 can kill raiders

and guarf

guards

reserve is not for a lvl 10

[opal halo]

on scav runs teammates have different extracts but on pmc runs you will always have the same

[urban wolf]

worst choice for a lvl 10

[daring badge]

I think i'll focus on learning a new map next before focusing back in on getting that watch

[urban wolf]

learn woods

[main plinth]

ohhhh okay thanks

[daring badge]

Either Woods or Interchange I guess.

[urban wolf]

thats the best beginner map

u get good loot on woods and scavs are plentiful

[daring badge]

My sense of direction gets completely screwy in non urban maps.

[warm minnow]

woods is chill as long as you avoid the middle

[urban wolf]

woods helped me get out of poverty

[daring badge]

But I'll figure it out

[floral veldt]

How do I contact admin to change my name? My friend changed my name to Iownslxves -_-

[opal halo]

but i mean if you can kill raiders on reserve you will be a juicer

and you will get good combat

[urban wolf]

yea but u need to learn them

[opal halo]

if you learn raiders its op but alot harder

[urban wolf]

also they are unpredictable

[opal halo]

yes preapre to die 10 times in a row learning raiders

[buoyant swift]

where's the water in dorms?

[daring badge]

I think for now I should focus on like- getting to a point where I can enjoy the game in spite of its quirks unlike right now, where im a bit bitter about that headshot.

206, two level dorm

[buoyant swift]

frick

[daring badge]

it'll be left from the staircase

immediately on your left.

Is there anything even valuable in there? the key seems pretty junky

[frail anvil]

Quest key only

[urban wolf]

woah i might be doing factory for raiders now

[frail anvil]

6 raids on factory ystd

6 nothings

[daring badge]

what's the biggest thing you wished you knew at lvl 10 in this game/did

[warm minnow]

cache locations. key landmarks

[frail anvil]

Pathing, map knowledge

Pmc vs scav spawns

[warm minnow]

where the edge of the woods map is :|

[daring badge]

ah, ok. so I'm doing the right things.

[opal halo]

doing raids quicker / not worriyng about dying

[urban wolf]

yo a mutant on factory

mine

[frail anvil]

HOW NOT TO GO ON WEST SIDE OF USEC CAMP AND GET BLOWN TO PIECES

[opal halo]

get your goal and get out dont wait on the rat that is gonna camp for 20 min

[warm minnow]

lmao

[daring badge]

I already have the basic main road caches memorized on Customs, and I'm pretty dedicated to unulating pacing so far.

[opal halo]

doing shorter raids levels up your skills quicker

[daring badge]

I can safely play customs without a map too.

[frail anvil]

Just wait till communication difficulties quest

[daring badge]

so really, I just need patience and to stop playing so much customs LOL

[frail anvil]

I gotta go back to customs

[daring badge]

ok, cool. then woods is my next Offline map focus.

[urban wolf]

bro and korund on fac

[opal halo]

honestly i would just do all your quests and prepare for next wipe quests put you in so many scenarios by the time you are done will them all you are a beast

do quests on pmc and scav in for loot when you need

[daring badge]

I just don't want to keep dying doing that watch quest

plus I'm nervous about. my economy.

[frail anvil]

Get someone with you

[opal halo]

just go get the damn bronze pocket watch lol evetone has to do it

look at the 200 people in this discord someone will run with you

[frail anvil]

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[frail anvil]

These guys can help you with your tasks

[daring badge]

i don't want to do it with someone else because I won't learn as fast, and I wouldn't of earned it.

[frail anvil]

Thats crazy talk

[opal halo]

you will be learning something though and its better than not doig it

you need to do it

[daring badge]

if I want to get it done I think I can do it alone.

[frail anvil]

These guys will literally teach you important things

[opal halo]

its as simple as spawning running straight there and running straight out

[frail anvil]

Each to their own

[daring badge]

I just need to clear my head off customs for a bit. I got woods quests, I've managed to pick up the watch before, and even if I did get the watch I'd still be sub level 15.

[opal halo]

yeah thats fine you can stack quests on customs

but there will be a day you have to do it hell ill run with you tomorrow if you want i got 4k hours and it seems you want to learn

[daring badge]

so I might as well instead take a breather before giving it another shot by doing something different and letting my patience on customs come back.

i absolutely know I can do it.

[opal halo]

yes customs is tough that map is scary because of all the choke points

[daring badge]

I just got impatient and tried rushing it too often without a plan from any position I spawned in

if I path my route before I head in, thinking about where players like to be, like I did the first time I touched it I can get it.

[warm minnow]

dorms makes me want to break things irl

[opal halo]

yeah just think of where you spawn every time because its a spawn point some raids it literally might be free based off where you spawn

[daring badge]

yeah. I think I got gas station 3 times in a row.

[opal halo]

yeah dorms makes me cringe people think its a good place but terrible place to be if you arent questing

[daring badge]

which usually I love gas station cuz of the proximity to that underground camp in the left Factory.

[frail anvil]

Yea but your quest is to kill 5 pmcs there

[urban wolf]

id say thats my most profitable factory run

killed 13 scavs

3raiders, 10 scavs*

[daring badge]

but it's not super helpful when- you know- there's no good way to that damn truck

[opal halo]

just chad out nameis run in there like you own the place and eventually you will get it

[austere storm]

are semi shotguns good

[opal halo]

you can crouch walk to it for 40 mins and for sure get it or just go there and get it

[daring badge]

eh, I chadded in too much the. last few times.

like I said- I tried to force it from BAD spots.

[opal halo]

right angle peek only

[daring badge]

there's no way I'm going to knab it without a fuckton of bullshit if I spawn gas station or by Trailer Park.

[urban wolf]

what

how do ifix

[opal halo]

get the letter lol

[urban wolf]

i have it

i picked it up

and extracted

[opal halo]

restart

[daring badge]

if I get something like the tank spawn, or something close to gas station, then it's easier to bee line it, cuz then I can beat the scav spawn

[frail anvil]

Doable been there done that

[opal halo]

sounds like you are scared nameis all you have to do is go out there and get it like u said

u can do it u know u can just gotta see what tarkov is gonna throw at u

[daring badge]

no, I'm not saying it's not doable, but the chances of a bunch of scavs andPMCs go up the longer it takes me to get there.

[frail anvil]

Pistol in and gun it

[opal halo]

good let them be there the more people the better

go there and kll them all

the next time you have to kill them alll it will be quicker

[frail anvil]

Pmcs go dorms these days

[opal halo]

suck now while u are level 10 not level 40 when you actually have good guns

[frail anvil]

Sounds like youre speaking from experience

[urban wolf]

level 40 lame

i like lvl 32

[daring badge]

I'm not scared, I just don't want to keep wasting money on runs that I'm shooting myself in the foot trying. I'd be like going for dorms when you're all the way in trailer for loot. I'd rather adjust my objective and Chad out doing a different spot.

[opal halo]

nameis i have 140mil rn and i cant spend it all ive been bringing in guns for ppl

money is not issue in this game this game is all knwledge

this game is 0 skill

[daring badge]

hmm.

[urban wolf]

how do u get 140m

[daring badge]

ok.

[opal halo]

all knowledge

[urban wolf]

im always going between 2m and 1000 roubles

[daring badge]

alright, sure.

[opal halo]

play reserve and buy a red rebel

[daring badge]

then I'm gonna do it with a mosin and kit each attempt.

[urban wolf]

buy me a red rebel?

[daring badge]

I'll try rushing it.

[opal halo]

red rebel is fucking op i used to be a firm red rebel hater but its op

i could mayb

[urban wolf]

whatdo u do

on reserve

i farm raiders

but i go d2

[opal halo]

idk i loot boxes

[urban wolf]

how does that equal 140m

lol

[frail anvil]

Theres quests on reserve

[daring badge]

idk, should I even Mosin that? I really don't wanna run SMG for that map spot but I was so fucking let down by the AKS...

[opal halo]

because chiken i eat ppl like u for breakfast thats how

[daring badge]

I guess more SKS?

[opal halo]

use any gun u want

sks is broken

u should set up an auto fire macro for you mouse and use sks

[daring badge]

I'm not gonna do that.

[urban wolf]

i like sks

i use for lighthouse

[opal halo]

ok you dont have to but many people do

[daring badge]

is Leg meta still relevant?

[opal halo]

leg meta is op as fuck

[urban wolf]

yes but its lame

[daring badge]

hmm.

I've been aiming center mass way too much

I wish the range wasn't locked behind hideout.

ok, so gameplan

[urban wolf]

gameplan is

lighthouse

at night

on european servers

[warm minnow]

range kinda sucks ngl

[daring badge]

1. rushing the truck 2) reconsider aim for extremities when possible 3) don't worry about money

[warm minnow]

just do an offline

[urban wolf]

worry about money

[daring badge]

I just want a space with targets that don't move

[urban wolf]

dont not worry

[warm minnow]

or walk around base without range

[urban wolf]

just dont u know

[opal halo]

yeah night raids and low pop servers will help you run into less people

[urban wolf]

voip to scavs

[warm minnow]

do those even exist anymore xD

[daring badge]

eh, if I'm supposed to learn how to fight I'm going to fight people.

[warm minnow]

i thought game was too full of ppl for there to be empty servers

[urban wolf]

yea i have a few

[daring badge]

I get pretty sore at night. so many times I've been baffled by getting killed by people I could not see.

[urban wolf]

but idont wanna name them

i would like to keep them low pop

i dont even use nvgs at night

[warm minnow]

wat

full moon?

[urban wolf]

no

[warm minnow]

map is dark as fuck for me at night

[urban wolf]

i can see good enough on lighthouse

so

[opal halo]

you can change post fxs to see enough at night time

[urban wolf]

yea

@opal halo one has to go, which one?

[opal halo]

gen4

[urban wolf]

i dont have space for both

oh i thought gen 4 wasgood

[opal halo]

even tho gen4 better korund can use 2 minimium times max 6

[daring badge]

what's the fastest way to get better in fights then? I really struggle with Target Acquisition moreso than aim now that I've kicked my spamfire habit.

[opal halo]

korund is bad below 40

[urban wolf]

o

ok

so sell korund or sell gen 4

[opal halo]

sell gen4

[urban wolf]

ok

[opal halo]

use good bullets and aim for head chest if not leg them

[daring badge]

I can't get good bullets. level 10.

[urban wolf]

ok and now

explain

[warm minnow]

close or far? far you just gotta look real hard. close is all audio

[opal halo]

just spray legs and 1 tap kids

[urban wolf]

what do i do with this AVS

[opal halo]

wear it until u lose it its a rig

dont even have to repair it

[warm minnow]

if you run reserve you can find a lot of ammo. scav in tho. pmc extracts are pain

[opal halo]

avs is terrible to repair durability and price

[urban wolf]

@opal halo ok and this?

[daring badge]

far, generally. close I can audio decently

[opal halo]

osprey could be lv 4

[urban wolf]

its lvl 4

i have 2 lvl 5s tho

[opal halo]

both shit rigs on repair

wear them

[urban wolf]

i have 6 avs

now

[daring badge]

most of the time when I get killed unexpectedly it's just because I'm sprinting when I shouldn't.

[urban wolf]

wait now 7

[opal halo]

keep every armor chiken if ur low lv

[urban wolf]

im lvl 3

32

[daring badge]

well yeah dud

[warm minnow]

😂

[opal halo]

but if u can get gzhels i would sell all those shit armors

[urban wolf]

but i have big gear fear so i keep all level 5 and 4

and replace lvl 4 as i get lvl 5

[opal halo]

if u can get gzhel sell all but lv 5 armors

[urban wolf]

no it wont if i dont use it

[opal halo]

gzhel best armor in game dont use that lv 4 weak shit unless ur broke

[urban wolf]

wipe day is when i use it

i always die to the dumbest stuff too when i go kitted

[opal halo]

wipe isnt for fcking 3 months chill

[urban wolf]

like teamate nades me

or i get impact naded

or i get headeyes

[daring badge]

I'm glad I have like zero gear fear. only shit I've held onto is an early Val I got

[opal halo]

yup get used to it how u think i lose money lol

[warm minnow]

kitted no visor?

[opal halo]

tbh val is terrible they nerfed it like 5 times it used to be the best gun

[urban wolf]

ok i have severe gear fear

i like vss more

than val

[warm minnow]

that is nothing. dont make me do it

[opal halo]

sell all beside hex korund 6b43 tv110 cpc mod2

[urban wolf]

i have been stock piling pab 9

[warm minnow]

i have no gear fear but i hoard like the apocalypse is tomorrow

[urban wolf]

i buy it all

between 800-2500 per round

[opal halo]

sp6 is better chiken lol

[urban wolf]

no it isnt

pab 9 more pen

[opal halo]

it is though less recoil

you dont want pen on val recoil reduc

[urban wolf]

that doesnt matter to me, pab 9 pens class 5

sp6 doesnt

[opal halo]

ig

[urban wolf]

and fast fire rate = kill easy

[opal halo]

good asf bullets for ur level

[urban wolf]

i have like 120 sp6

[opal halo]

better than what i was using at ur lv lol i was a firm bt user

[urban wolf]

BT?

for what ammo

[opal halo]

yea

[urban wolf]

oh

i have some bs

i dont have a single 5.45 gun

i only have 7.62x39

[opal halo]

5.45 is dogshit unless you hit all your shots

[urban wolf]

and rfb

which is why i should discard all my igolnik and bs

and bt

good idea

[opal halo]

the increase damage from blacked limbs ruined game

game was fun before now die too quikc

[urban wolf]

yea

like if my arm is already blown to bits

[opal halo]

2x from stomach rip does 129 turns into 258

[urban wolf]

it shouldnt do more dmg

[opal halo]

258 from one fucking bullet

yea kids dont use it but i still die more to limbs wearing an altyn that thorax head

wearing stomac protection

[urban wolf]

i have a 2 hour timer for my scav

[opal halo]

yeah dont scav its a waste of time it ruins your pmc

[urban wolf]

yea

[opal halo]

pmc skills are extremely important

[urban wolf]

fence is lame

hes poor too

[opal halo]

extremely important ONLY scav factory

and run right out

[urban wolf]

no

kill svabs

scavs

and die trying

i dont extract

yea, i have -6.8 fence reo

rep

best he will give is

mtape with his sweat on it

[opal halo]

i mean scavs give good shit but you can invest your time better on pmc and get more shit

[frail anvil]

Chiken you dumb

[urban wolf]

thats not very nice

i dont need scav

[frail anvil]

You want to have good fence rep

[opal halo]

scav runs are a waste of time they add it so you dont progress through the game as fast

[bold kernel]

What

[frail anvil]

Bruh

[opal halo]

yup you heard me

[frail anvil]

Thats a blatant lie

[opal halo]

if you are terrible on pmc runs they are good xd

[frail anvil]

Bruh

Horrible intake

[opal halo]

kind of what i meant to say

i mean its a baseed take sorry

[bold kernel]

I mean when im not sure if i have enough time to play pmc i go for a scav run

[opal halo]

just go shoot someone in the head that actually has something

not a wood gun

[daring badge]

I like scav runs just for warming up and saving a bit of cash

[bold kernel]

If you scav on lighthouse or now on factory you can get some solid gear

[daring badge]

still yet to kill a PMC in one tho.

😋

[opal halo]

yes i just odnt want people to think they should run their scav every 5 minutes

[daring badge]

... no? I was just being cheeky.

[opal halo]

if you do 50 raids max 10 of them should be scav

[bold kernel]

Breeki.

[daring badge]

Jesus.

I just pop the skav raid whenever my inventory empties

then usually the shit equipment or whatever I grabbed in Raid supplies my next few runs.

[bold kernel]

Haha

If you find two vepr hunters you can barter them for a full durability one

And you can fully repair an adar for 7k

But any other scav weapon i would just sell to fence

[daring badge]

I meant that

[bold kernel]

I would under no circumstances run a shotgun thats under 90 durability

Those things jam a LOT

[daring badge]

I don't sell guns enough TBH. I usually don't pick up a second for some dumb reason

[urban wolf]

epic fight on dactory

[floral veldt]

My friend changed my name to Iownslxves will I be banned bc of this?

[opal halo]

yes volpha

[bold kernel]

Who knows

[opal halo]

volpha no you wont be bc bsg is stupid with stuff like that but you could be

[floral veldt]

But if I end up getting banned do I contact their support?

[bold kernel]

I suppose so

[opal halo]

probably lol i wouldnt worry until your banned tohugh

[urban wolf]

what are the best slugs to use apart from ap20

i dont have yaeger for tht

ok apart from that

[opal halo]

50bmg or ap20

only

te others is plastic

[urban wolf]

are u in game rn?

[floral veldt]

Oh ok but the safest thing is to not play for a eeek?

[opal halo]

im going bed i can tomorro

[floral veldt]

Week*

[bold kernel]

Just run flechettetteetet

[bold kernel]

Sleeo well

[urban wolf]

[bold kernel]

Damn

[urban wolf]

im yaggy level 1

i havent done the first one

[opal halo]

wrong guy i delete ap20

[urban wolf]

i need ap20

not him

he can buy

i acnt

cant

[opal halo]

yeah if u need it for that shoreline quest the polvea 6 blue slugs might have to do

[urban wolf]

can u buy ap20

?

hog

ok what ammo do i use for this

on factory

for maximum fun

but its pump

not semi

yea i can buy flechette

its like 190 per shot

its still doing this

and i restarted game

[dusky geyser]

don't recommend using pumpies at all, but if you do - flechette/ap-20

[opal halo]

Yeah sell that shit shotgun

Use mp 155

Or saiga

[mint light]

155 go cray cray

[opal halo]

155 no mods is good asf still

[mint light]

saiga with powermag

[opal halo]

70 k for pmag is worth for saiga

[mint light]

powermag with flechette

[opal halo]

Yes fletch he has better rating vs lv6 than paca

Better vs a slick than paca

[urban wolf]

I just made it

i bought it for a reason

[mint light]

pumpies are bad

id rather use the double barrel cuz it shoots faster even tho u got 2 shells

[dusky geyser]

press B with the doublebarrel

done

[opal halo]

Sell it lol

Or die bc shot gun

[dusky geyser]

if you can aim in the general direction of their chest you are now able to kill people

[urban wolf]

Im gonna cry

just killed juicer with the shotgun

and he has his boyfriend nearby

and it disconnectted me from game

i hate this game

i reconeccted

then i made friends with him

and now dc

[grand merlin]

I just did a scav run on fatory and murdered a pmc with this is it a meta? It looks awesome

[urban wolf]

ok he killed me while i dc

it is expensive shotgun to make

[grand merlin]

rip my dude

[dusky geyser]

no such thing as a shotgun meta, but it's pretty damn good

aim in general direction of chest as always

[grand merlin]

ty good sir

ty for the info good gentlemen may we not meet each others barrels

[urban wolf]

its not as good as it seems

kind of useless

[idle bone]

If any new players need any help with tasks or money running. HMU and ill help ya out (LVL 50 US East)

[knotty palm]

are RIP slugs good

[rain wing]

if you're aiming for the legs sure I guess

• you also need to hit your shots

using slugs feel weird if you're too used to buckshot

or flechette

[olive bough]

hey anyone has some tips for punisher 6? like what map is best etc

oh boy

[knotty palm]

cant remember a time I went dorms without getting raped while not even having time to react

[grand merlin]

i got 12 mill banked lvl 11 whats the fastest for me to lvl? Just run in do tasks and murder scavs?

[scenic sentinel]

quests

[merry vapor]

yea dailys and normal quest are pretty much your best bet as a low level, could get pvp xp too

[remote kettle]

Questing

[grand merlin]

Is the mmac meta? Everyone i killed tonight has had one

[lilac lodge]

Can someone tell me who the hell is that?

[bold kernel]

raider

or

idk

some of the clowns from light house

[lilac lodge]

Factory

[bold kernel]

oh

raiders

its an event

they now spawn there

[lilac lodge]

my god

[grand merlin]

Raider

[bold kernel]

lets say theoretically i killed shturman accidentally as a scav cus hes kinda bonkers, would that be bad?

[rain wing]

well it'll drop your rep

and make you marked as a bad scavvy so ai scavs can shoot you

[untold elm]

ive played for 100+ hours this wipe and havent found a bitcoin, gpu or ledx. i look in all the spawns i see in youtube videos and spawns me or my friends know but i never manage to find them and i doing something wrong or is this just really bad luck 🤣

[pure talon]

i wouldnt even consider this bad luck

100h is not that much and these are rare items

people are watching streamers highlights on yt and are getting false impression that a good raid has to be at least one gpu, two bitcoins and intel or ledx, depends on which map you play, but in reality while its possible to get these items back to back in two raids, they are extremely rare items to spawn

[remote kettle]

100h isnt much, plus If you’re slow someone else nabs them

[untold elm]

alr ty

[hazy veldt]

It's popular because it's cheap, somewhat durable class4.
It's not the best armor though.

[grand merlin]

Ahh

Ty

[median niche]

I am having trouble doing the mission for prapor to get the bronze stopwatch, should I keep trying to run cheap stuff or should I try and gear up? looking for advice bcs im kinda lost atm :/

[pure talon]

consider joining LFG voice channel for Customs, you can find them if you scroll down, I'll elaborate in a sec

[olive bough]

hey what's the max lvl for crafting and hideout management

[median niche]

I kinda want to struggle solo before trying to engage in squads, don't want to drag ppl down

[latent dagger]

Have you tried running some cheap silent gun and just bolt it for quest and extract?

[warped kiln]

what yall think about my baby

[rain wing]

why tf is the screenshot so wide

[rain wing]

run cheap stuff, run away from gunshots

[latent dagger]

Good gun but why no foregrip tho

[rain wing]

that's how most of early game goes

[warped kiln]

i mean im broke asf so yee

[latent dagger]

Don't have Mlock stuff unlocked yet?

[rain wing]

🤨

[warped kiln]

no

[latent dagger]

Fair enough

They're stupidly expensive on flea for some reason lol

[latent dagger]

True Gamer certificate

[median niche]

I always just run through quest and try to extract but idk im really unlucky with finding players today, also idk if I cant get a silenced gun yet

[rain wing]

just run cheap gear

[median niche]

yea im gonna stick to toz and just run

[rain wing]

ok not that cheap

[median niche]

what would you recommend then?

[latent dagger]

Either get a cheap gun and watch out near the truck
People with gear will run to crackhouse next to your quests

Does Prapor sell the TT suppressor on lvl 1?

[clear scaffold]

which one do i get first?

[latent dagger]

Suppressed TT should be ok for that

[rain wing]

for reference

[rain wing]

I'd just bring some ak or sumn

fuck just take a scav weapon

[median niche]

I can buy tt, but what wep should I put it on?

[rain wing]

the tt

[warped kiln]

is customs a hard map

[rain wing]

no

arguably one of the easiest lol

[latent dagger]

Easy if you avoid dorms crackhouse and stronghold

[warped kiln]

interchange hard

[rain wing]

ehh decently hard

[clear scaffold]

easy to recognize landmarks i think

[latent dagger]

Interchange is annoying

[rain wing]

considering now there's tagilla AND killa

[rain wing]

yes

[latent dagger]

Run in thinking you're first and pew head eyes because some guy already is inside and camping the entrance

[warped kiln]

bro i bought the game ages ago and only played interchange now i hat the shit out of it but im comfortable

[rain wing]

interchange aint too bad

Oli 🥵 @smoky moth

[latent dagger]

Buy the TT pistol, TT threaded barrel, TT suppressor and some cheap kit just so scavs don't kill you instantly
Then give chads some time to go crackhouse and just run for extract when you got it

[rain wing]

@median niche do you know how customs works?

[warped kiln]

i love the tt ngl

[rain wing]

what

[latent dagger]

I'm doing a 7.62 challenge next wipe

TT with suppressor is fun and very cheap but i wish it had taller sights

[median niche]

idk its my 3rd day in this game, gonna try the stuff you guys said now

hopefully I can get this quest done today lol

[rain wing]

wait what region are you from?

[median niche]

eu

[rain wing]

ah

fuck

💀

[latent dagger]

If you can't do it I'm finally getting out of hospital today and will help you

[latent dagger]

I know the pain
Asian Chad friend wants to play with me but ping kills him

[median niche]

thanks but I wanna struggle solo for a while and learn shit on my own

[rain wing]

I'm nowhere near chad but I know customs pretty well

[rain wing]

by the way if you hit rock bottom you can reset your character

[median niche]

I still have like 500k, my scav rounds are okayish

[rain wing]

I find it much easier to learn with someone who knows how to actually play the game
