it's accurate in french, it's just that i'm not used to weapon vocabulary in french XD

#

i mean, the correspondance with english counterpart

idk just wanted to say your name

#

bolties are probably my least used guns tbf

hazy veldt
#

Also with Mosin/SV-98 you can run LPS and get a one-tap 18% of the time on anyone in Class4 to thorax.

vagrant cargo
#

use PS

hazy veldt
hazy veldt
sterile minnow
#

I got stacks of SNB and PS, theyre considered better no?

vagrant cargo
#

How

#

Ps is a straight upgrade to lps

hazy veldt
#

8% fragmentation vs 18%

vagrant cargo
#

Ooooohoooo

sterile minnow
hazy veldt
#

you gain no damage outside of like 10 meters.

vagrant cargo
#

You entirely rely on fragmentation

#

Cool cool

#

It has more pen

hazy veldt
#

More pen in an irrelevant range.

vagrant cargo
#

Pen scales logarithmically

#

And uh what

hazy veldt
#

PS loses 85 damage at 16-18 meters so...

#

little benefit unless you're using it for cqb.

sterile minnow
#

gonna run the m700 again, any suggestions to what stock is the go to?

#

money isnt an issue

hazy veldt
#

Granted, PS has like 38%? chance to pen class5, while LPS has 18%, so it's got that going for it.

#

But I'd rather run either SNB or LPS.

Say im wanna do a relatively budget farm of the rogues on LH. Would a VPO 215 with .366 TKM ap work? Im trying a quick route my friend showed me where u kill the two front rogues and the HGM on the roof behind the where the two rogues stand and only loot the front area and the front warehouse as well as the train warehouse

#

So relatively safe route

#

just wondering if the gun can 1 shot hs them

sterile minnow

#

oh and a good cheap sniper scope if anyone can reommend it

just gonna assume not eveyione is crafting it

i have a few stacks

because I fucking hate svd 10 rounders

id use all that in a blink of an eye

not like recoil matters much on a boltie

hazy veldt
# median raven Budget sniper scope?
#

a good optic that you like worth spending extra, 10, 20, 50k for.

vagrant cargo
#

76k

hazy veldt
#

I think the KMZ scopes are actually crazy undervalued for what they can do.

median raven
#

wait i have a question tho for those of u who played past wipes

#

is it true after lvnmrk made a yt vid about the vudu it jumped in price

naive carbon
#

Any beginners looking to play together in customs? NA, if that matters

median raven
#

i just always see people saying that lol

hazy veldt
#

that is what usually happens with anything streamer related.

median raven
#

so ure telling me a vudu off market would be around 30k if it wasnt for lvndmark

#

or was it already popular?

hazy veldt
#

no

#

it's not like that.

median raven
#

nvm im dumb

#

its based off trader

hazy veldt
#

If it hadn't been lvndmark, then some other content creator would've said "yo this is good scope"

median raven
#

ah yeah

hazy veldt
#

vudu price flooor is 24833

median raven
hazy veldt
#

but it's a nice scope in general, so that's why price high

#

I also like the Bender PM

#

but not everyone does.

sterile minnow
#

love me a Vudu

median raven
#

i love it as well

pure talon
#

personally I use tac30 instead of vudu/razor most of the time, because the x6 is too much for me (I want to snipe, not perform a colonoscopy!), but ymmw, and if you need that extra zoom (sniping from dome for instance), bender is a nice alternative that costs half the price of vudu/razor

#

i found a access card for the lab

i'm very beginner, shooting pretty bad etc... it is worth for me to go there with a really good stuff? or i should go with bad gear, avoid combat and just loot?

#

and, for lab, which fighting range should i expect?

sterile minnow
#

not sure you wanna go there just yet

#

unless u wanna get clapped by 5000 hour labrats

hazy veldt
#

lab = short-medium range.

wide bridge
#

i want try tho, i'm having fun, even if i get clapped XD

hazy veldt
#

But if you don't have good pvp skills, then labs is...

#

go learn the map in offline though, you don't lose the access card in offline.

sterile minnow
#

I mean, you can have fun everywhere else tho, going labs just for shits is throwing money away

pure talon
sterile minnow
#

but, up to you

wide bridge
#

i don't know if i have good pvp skills in fact,
before most of the time, i die killed by some dude in spot i didn't saw them XD ( when i actually see the person before dying, it's ok XD )

hazy veldt
#

I mean, you can go to labs with a shotgun/pistol + belt rig and get out the vents.

wide bridge
#

ok, i'll do offline then

hazy veldt
#

and avoid pvp more often than not.

wide bridge
hazy veldt
#

You have 29 slots+pouch

wide bridge
#

was that a question?

hazy veldt
#

Huh?

wide bridge
#

your last message, was that a question?

hazy veldt
#

No?

#

With a belt rig and pockets, you have 29 slots.

#
  • pouch 4-12.
wide bridge
#

ok, i didn't understood firstly what you meant

hazy veldt
#

You can take vents extract with any rig/armor, so beltrig has the most slots 😄

#

and since it's fuck off huge, most people don't take it so comes back with insurance.

wide bridge
#

i think i'll try, a shotgun with slug + a more long range gun ( an sks or alike maybe, with a reflex type scope )

Brand new player to Tarkov and was watching videos about doing “scav runs” on the Factory map. The one thing I noticed was that the players in the vendors were killing EVERYTHING, including other players who were scavs as well. I thought that is a huge no-no or is the Factory map the exemption to the rule?

#

In the videos

wide bridge
#

there is both situation @dense monolith

i do mostly factory, including as scav, and i encountered as scav both "friendly" player scav and both not friendly

uneven bolt
#

is a scav weapon that's 70/70 usable?

wide bridge
#

take in account that it's possible to scav player do accidental friendly fire

#

i already killed a scav player because i was thinking he was pmc, i noticed the mistake when i saw dogtag in the bodies and when the other scav attacked me XD

wide bridge
dense monolith
#

So I take it that it can be difficult to differentiate scavs from PMCs?

lusty dagger
# dense monolith Brand new player to Tarkov and was watching videos about doing “scav runs” on th...

if you plan to play this game for some time and upgrade your hideout I would HIGHLY reccommend being a pacifist scav and just hiding from combat or shoot only when you know it's a PMC (usually wear armbands and have fancy tactical clothes on instead of rags)...the scav karma you gain is very good to have once you upgrade your hideout...also I would recommend avoiding playing scav while you are still low level, because every minute spent on your scav could have been spent leveling your PMC and gaining skills and XP for levels, even when you die you win something

dense monolith
#

I thought if your PMC dies you lose all skills and XP?

lusty dagger
#

or maybe just play quick factory scavs that last only 2 minutes, without kiling other scavs try to loot like 2 3 dead body and geat out right away

lusty dagger
#

so if you get 5 kills and die you still get the XP for scav kills...or if you loot you get the looting xp

#

but if oyu play as a scav your PMC will not gain any levels or skills since its a scav playing and the PMC chilling in the hideout

dense monolith
#

Ooooooh!

wide bridge
#

as a new player, i would suggest to play scav to recover weapon

i already had FAL type weapon as scav in factory, can be sold for over 20k R
so playing as scav is nice

i do pacifism tho, unless i'm 100% sure the guy is PMC, or he's shooting at me

even when i'm not sure, i don't shoot, because i prefer to die and lose the loot, than to kill by mistake a scav and lose reput

lusty dagger
#

or if you complete a mission and die it will also give you xp

wide bridge
#

and you can play scav while waiting your pmc to be healed XD

hazy veldt
lusty dagger
#

scavs are great way to obtain mission items like: food items from the shopping mall, computer parts from the same map as well, cowboy hats, ushanka hats and many other dumb items you might need to find on your journey

hazy veldt
#

Factory is basically pvp only, horrible loot unless you kill a pmc with good gear.

lusty dagger
hazy veldt
#

Yes, but scav karma isn't really worth it as new player.

#

*farming for scav karma in factory.

west oar
#

I scaved factory a lot when i started played

#

Its small so you can learn the map pretty easy

hazy veldt
#

Scav should be to learn to maps + make risk free money.

wide bridge
west oar
#

and like 50% of the time the pmcs wouldnt loot the tech crates or drawers

wide bridge
#

i had "good" weapon as scav XD

lusty dagger
#

Scav to collect anoying items like 15 tushonka beef stew, food packs and mission items. I would still suggest just doing all of that on your PMC to tough up his skills and XP

west oar
#

Scav weapons are sketchy because of the durability on them. I wouldnt use them other then turning them into money

dense monolith
#

So in regards to the scav karma thing if I kill 5 scavs as a PMC do I wreck my scav karma?

hazy veldt
#

No, as pmc it doesn't matter 😄

wide bridge
#

( and had lab card as scav in factory, i do not remember if i spawned with it or looted it )

wide bridge
hazy veldt
# wide bridge ok, so no scav factory unless it's 2 minute raid and it's just in case you need ...

Scav weapons are basically for selling (dismantle, sell the parts you can to mechanic or others if you need the spent money, sell the core low durability to fence if mechanic doesn't want it).

Once you have Jaeger unlocked you can buy a brand new double barrel for 8k for questing runs.

But really if you learn a good loot run on Lighthouse or stash run on Woods/Shoreline/Interchange/Customs (+ do it at night), then you make so much risk free money that you can always afford whatever guns you can buy at your traders / flea.

lusty dagger
#

so just be straight pacifist scav and it will pay off in the long run if you plan on playing scav...if you get really comfortable playing your PMC that will be your best bet

dense monolith
lusty dagger
hazy veldt
#

I expect that everyone tries to kill me as pmc, so unless they voip, they die.

#

if they voip, it depends on how sus they seem.

lusty dagger
#

ye...i sound pretty confident when I say i don't care if you kill me...cuz i really dont

#

cuz i am scav

hazy veldt
#

mhm

wide bridge
hazy veldt
#

exception being certain high loot areas like reserve locked rooms with good loot, etc.

lusty dagger
# hazy veldt mhm

when i try to be friendly as a PMC i will offer this: if you really have to betray me (after them saying they will be friendly) you might as well finish a quest like kill me with a flashbang effect or maybe i can help you get shooter born in heaven, so if you wanna kill me just let me know and i will help you and we all happy instead of getting betrayed...actually finished my shooter born in heaven with a friendly guy who let me kill him lol

wide bridge
hazy veldt
#

That's also because usually many of the pvp hungry pmcs have left by the time you get in.

lusty dagger
wide bridge
#

yeah, i almost never encounter pmc as scav, which i would love too

hazy veldt
bold socket
#

so iv had multiple people recently know my username while in raid and offer me a "special" mosin or other weapon. What is that about?

lusty dagger
#

on lighthouse you can find PMC's as a scav, and if you cant find them you can try to fight the AI that arent scavs so you can shoot them all you want

wide bridge
#

AI is scav right?

hazy veldt
#

Lighthouse a lot of people go to either scavange rogue area as scav or to kill rogues as pmc.

Meaning all the right side of the map is often unlooted as hell.

lusty dagger
lusty dagger
# wide bridge AI is scav right?

on the lighthouse map there is some AI (artificial inteligence, bots, whatever) that aren't part of the scav faction...so if you as a scav were to shoot them, you would not be loosing reputation with your own faction (scavs)

@lusty dagger will do I didn't know what to do and thought it was sus. I know there was something similar to darksouls where the items they gave got you banned so

west oar
#

Meaning it will malfunction

lusty dagger
west oar
#

If you get really desperate you would need to learn the malfunction keybinds in order to fix it.

lusty dagger
#

Malfunction trick incoming. one second to check my settings

#

Inspect curret weapon: L, press type: Press
Check chamber/clear malfunction: L, press type continuos

#

so it's one button for check and fix...you just gotta hold the L untill your PMC is done checking, then realease and he will fix

hazy veldt
#

L is too far for clearing during combat tho 😄

lusty dagger
#

if you wanna test malfunctions you can go into an offline raid with a lot of ammo (you wont loose anything in offline) shoot all the ammo at a wall and then disconnect when you're done testing

hazy veldt
#

you can do it in shooting range too.

wide bridge
#

I'm happy, a good scav run XD

lusty dagger
#

yea but i see a few level 2 and 3 guys in here so thats why i wanted to bring up the offline raid

since it's key they learn to fix malfunction sooner better then later

one sorting tip, specially for standard edition players...all the magazines that take up 2 slots per magazine are only worth 2k to buy new ones...great tip is always to get rid of those first when you need space, since their value per slot is only 1 thousand roubles

wide bridge
mint light
#

ONE JAM PER MAG

#

NO BIGGIE

lusty dagger
#

The way you want to look at items is: value per slot, when looking at loot a basic rule in the community would be about 10k per slot value...so when choosing to pick up a knife you're picking up 10 times less then what would be the desired amount...but picking up stuff anyway is good if you replace the low value per slot items with the better ones as you go

mint light
lusty dagger
#

stacking bandages and really cheap magazines and knifes into your stash is some of the mistakes a rookie can make, but if you vendor those same items and clear your space then you're not really making a mistake since you'll learn there is more value in other stuff over time and will loot more confident when in raid knowing what you need and dont

west oar
#

Gear fear is real - try running the sks with 20 round mag and ps ammo and just mag dump people

#

I think it is less the 30k all said and done

#

And the scav guns should give you at least 15k each

mint light

if ur gun jams once every 30 bullets there is an issue

it's a cheap run, i do not care if i die, and often, either i die without even seeing the ennemy, or i kill him with less than 1 mag

sometimes it can be worth checking (if you have flea market) if some of the parts you found on that scav gun can be sold to players for absurd amounts because they need them for gunsmith tasks or maybe they're "meta"...sometimes stupid stuff like just a metal piece of rail for a certain gun can be 50k but the trader will give you 2k for it

One thing I did early on was watch YouTube videos on beginner guides and map guides while I waited for scav timers. There is a good one from Jesse I think. Let me see if I can find it

Kinda - factory is PVP central so it's usually high damage guns. But out side of that it can be anything

#

factory will be like shotguns and leg meta

#

yea shotguns and smgs

and maybe it's due also to the fact that high level player with high end weapon just don't die there, so the body i loot ( and player i get to kill ) is low level player like me?

The way I enjoyed playing personally was: Focused a lot on the tasks and quests, which in return gave me map knowledge since I was using the tarkov wiki to see how to complete the quests on each map...then i did scav raids for the boring "find food" quests...and i would use VOIP to state my intentions if i hear a player on the other side of the wall or something, example: I am doing a quest called QuestName and don't want to fight unless you insist

last question before i go playing

when i sell mags, does it takes in account the bullet in it for the prize? or i should take off the ammo from it?

lusty dagger
#

yea, get keys to open doors and then loot the safes

shell kindle
#

I’d say keep most of your bullets

lusty dagger
#

you get flash drives and other stuff that goes into your docs case from the safe run and even when you die you make profit, and you don't have to bring in a crazy kit, just gotta have the keys to open the doors

shell kindle
#

They don’t take up much space and sometimes you can find bullets that you aren’t able to get from traders or flea

ok, that's what i was doing, thx y'all for all the advice

any time

shell kindle
#

At least half of my customs runs I die in a fight right after spawning

wide bridge

my bad, i had one last question

i thought USEC had more "AR-like" weapon avaliable

but, i find in vast majority Ak-like weapon ( or sks and such ), even on USEC bodies

#

is that normal?

lusty dagger
#

customs has a lot of chokepoints, but also it makes it predictable where somene can wait for you...so i suggest learning jumps and using the forested side of the map to move around safely while looting stashes or traversing the map to do your quest

shell kindle
#

Scavs mostly spawn with ak weapons

west oar
#

It only matters for the guns you get at the start

lusty dagger
#

on customs you can avoid a lot of areas by knowing which wall to jump over and where

west oar
#

After that pmcs will have anything they want

shell kindle
#

The wall part is true

#

But there are just some spawns that you have to win a fight to get out of

mint light
#

aks are just pretty good rn so everyone runs them

#

scavs use whatever also

lusty dagger
#

many walls and areas to avoid on customs if you choose to do so...i mostly stay on the forest doing nighttime raids and hitting all the safes in dorms

wide bridge
#

ok, i thinked it would change too some of possible buys from the seller etc...

#

thx y'all, have good night/day,
i'll do my "lab run, where i'll probably die" XD

Also YouTube is your friend. There are videos on level 1 trader builds that are really helpful.

lusty dagger
#

also insurance doesnt work in labs since scavs dont go there

hazy veldt
lusty dagger
#

never insure gear for labs since it wont be coming bakc

#

Night customs is different

also 7.62 AK's are in a good place, because 7.62 BT can be farmed on rogues (and it's a suitable nightly craft once you unlock workbench 3 at level 30).

wide bridge
#

taking notes

#

learning from the master XD

#

speaking of ammo

hazy veldt
#

still, personally I would run UMP until 15 with FMJ.

wide bridge
#

which ammo are to avoid at all cost?

#

and which ammo are "correct" in all situation?

lusty dagger
#

ooof...this aint that type of game

hazy veldt
#

Well there's no 'correct always' ammo, but high penetration ammo is generally a good choice.

lusty dagger
#

i would start with calibers first, then move onto ammo

#

i would avoid 5.56 caliber (sadly, for most people)

#

and 5.45

wide bridge
#

5,45 aren't majority of AK-type gun? XD

hazy veldt
#

I think 5.45 BT is fine until you can buy or farm 7.62 BP

lusty dagger
#

yes...what you will find is the best round for early game is 7.62x51NATO from peacekeeper M80 ammo

mint light
wide bridge
#

within the caliber, PS/high pene is "ok-ish" right?

#

( and slug for shotgunn )

lusty dagger
#

7.62NATO M80 will give you the penetration and damage that you can use from level 1 to level 50

edit: m80 only available since peacekeeper level 2, sorry lol

mint light
#

ps is the most middle of the road ammo

violet light
hazy veldt
#

Yes, but barter is Prapor3.

#

Well I guess there's that range of 26-30 that it's useful.

wide bridge
#

the Gzh, a lot of ammo have this "name", it's correct?

hazy veldt
#

but at 30, just craft BP every night for a week or two and you're covered for 7.62 BP

lusty dagger
#

yea, gotta look at calibers first always...so that round is a soviet 7.62x54 which is a mosin round from WW2 lol

hazy veldt
#

gzh is a short for "iron sleeve" in russian.

wide bridge
#

ok

lusty dagger
#

nice, you learn something every day

brittle canyon

iirc

#

so, for now, 5,45 PS is a safe value

7.62 ps

hazy veldt

it's from gilza geleznaya/гильза железная

cunning vale
#

@wide bridge Go to the tarkov website and redeem the free scar and keycard case and ammo case and stuff

545 ps is minimum useable for the caliber, you never want to go below it and you want to get something better asap

that was for Xmas

honestly, I would just run ump with FMJ for general use, some shotgun with some buckshot and aim at face if they don't have face shield or legs if they do.

cunning vale

ump with fmj goes hard

hazy veldt

Slugs aren't very good unless you have AP-20 really.

#

Yep.

cunning vale

looks like this:

wide bridge
mint light
#

yeah

hazy veldt
#

Flechette is my preference for shotgun, but AP-20 can shoot a bit further better.

mint light
#

ps isnt good but its the best that u can get

violet light
mint light
#

fmj outshines 545 ps

hazy veldt
#

7.62 PS in VeprKM is okay for woods/shoreline.

wide bridge
#

ok, i'll try flechette too

mint light
#

flechette is bonkers

wide bridge
hazy veldt
#

But you can get away with UMP everywhere if you just position well and don't take long-range fights.

wide bridge
#

i have this on my profile

violet light
#

Depending on what health pool a scav spawns in with, AP-20 may not 1-tap them to the chest 😬

lusty dagger
#

7.62 PS is flimsy at best, ulach saves me from it every time...but for a face to face burst PS 7.62 will do damage

wide bridge

and the info more above

PS makes 7.62 seem balanced

As good shotgun, saiga 12 is correct?

#

with some AP-20 or grizzly

brittle canyon
#

ap20 or flech

lusty dagger
#

you will find most "good" players will run a semi-auto shotgun that is single fed and will equip a higher capacity magazine for that shotgun...i would run mp-100 series but would avoid pump shotguns

brittle canyon
#

grizz is meh

hazy veldt
#

early on, you don't really have access to saigas.

brittle canyon

that’s a scav gun

hazy veldt

you should never buy fence guns.

I like him, he buys the trash others don't.

brittle canyon

fence buys at the lowest price and resells what players sell to him at some bitchass markup

lusty dagger

i have 6.25 rep with him but i still hate him 😄

brittle canyon
#

but he does buy everything so he’s a great trashcan

lusty dagger

i never sell a full gun to him, only the receiver or like a broken gzhel or armors that are poor material

wide bridge

ok, i won't buy from him, i promise!

brittle canyon

yea that’s how you use him

brittle canyon

you still overpay for it but stuff like press armor repair excellently

Jaeger is good dude no? he have correct shotgun XD

dusky geyser

fence is only good for:
sniping t5 armor before prap ll3
doing gunsmith p1
sniping foregrips

i would avoid pump actions and if i used a shotgun would be semi auto...pump actions get you killed

lusty dagger
#

what are the quests you have right now? It might be worth doing those instead of going to labs and just keep the card for a quest you'll get along your journey around level 20-30

#

and if you wanna learn labs, you just need 1 card and do offline raids and in 5 offline raids and 1 card you know the map gg ez

wide bridge
brittle canyon
#

45fmj still one taps raiders and is inherently low recoil so you can spray at the heads

wide bridge
#

i'll do offline raid before tho

brittle canyon
#

raiders usually don’t have faceshields

cunning vale
#

raiders are ez if you are good at aiming for the eyes or jaws

#

anywhere on the head rly

lusty dagger
#

the players get me every time on labs, i just dont like the indoor map and i really enjoy doing quests which lab has like 1

wide bridge
#

i admit, i'm not a good aimer

i can consistently hit if i aim at torse, but head, i'm yet good enought to be consistent

cunning vale
#

last time i played it i got jumped by a 4 man running mutants and m4s

#

its scary

wide bridge
#

with Ap-20, at which distance i can hope to hit? max 40 meters right?

dusky geyser
#

like 500

cunning vale
#

ap-20s are deadly from my experience

hazy veldt
#

500 is optimistic.

lusty dagger
#

last time i played it i tried VOIP with this squad and they told me they want me to take the extract...i was like you might as well just kill me then cuz i didn't loot anything yet, and gave one of the guys their final grenade kill for his quest...i was running a shotgun with just ammo in pockets and they didnt wanna share loot with me, wanted me dead but still VOIPed which was cool

hazy veldt
#

But 100-200 is fine.

cunning vale
#

bodied 2 chads with a double barrel shotgun

wide bridge
#

100-200 meter?

hazy veldt
#

200 is also optimistic

dusky geyser
#

MP-153 longest barrel has stupendous distance
AP-20 is around 100-200 reliably as fim said

hazy veldt
#

but 100, the moa isn't that bad.

dusky geyser
#

superfomance can do some wild stuff though

cunning vale
#

flechette 😍

wide bridge
#

( i'm thinking "if i have to engage at 50 meter, better do it with ump and fmj ammo, or the shotgun? " XD

cunning vale
#

flechette 1-3 taps tier 6 armor

dusky geyser
#

shotgun

cunning vale
#

its crazy

lusty dagger
#

dont bring 2 guns into raid or you'll be loosing double the money every time you go into raid lol

dusky geyser
#

although 50 meters... that's not manageable recoil on a shotgun

cunning vale
#

on lighthouse

lusty dagger
#

but shotguns have actual range in this game and you can engage targets at pretty far away and hit headshots

dusky geyser

yeah, i mean just spamming the button
