beginners-assistance

[bold kernel]

Just have good aim and laser him before u give him the chance to aimbot or sledge u

[sterile minnow]

watch out for cultists

[topaz violet]

If I HAVE TO RUN 5.56 is the mk 16 the best option right now

[ocean adder]

I’d say so yeah

Anything’s good if you can hit your shots tho so

[topaz violet]

Yeah fair enough

I actually do like the m4

[smoky moth]

i'd say ak-101

[topaz violet]

Bp on the ak really is hard for me

[smoky moth]

m4 does terrible because of the hidden camera recoil

[topaz violet]

Ah ill try the 103

[smoky moth]

oh wait it's the 101

bruh so much aks in this game

[pure talon]

no extra cap mags tho

[topaz violet]

Okok

I had picked up a fairly decent build akmn with bp and it still kicked like a mule

Not rdy for that yet lol

In terms of recoil control i hear the game had a built in recoil correction, does that mean I just pull down on the initial kick

Or am I reading this all wrong

[shell kindle]

Try it in the shooting range

Tbh I don’t see people really doing recoil control

[bold kernel]

anyone down to run some with a lvl 5

[drowsy oasis]

ive found alot from rogues

[bold kernel]

dm me id down

[pure talon]

you need to mod the gun to get the recoil down to 40ish to use it in full auto at range

@topaz violet that's how modded akm looks like

[ashen maple]

Looks sick

Anyone want to run a game?

[sterile minnow]

try #pvp-lfg

[sinful valve]

Is it true that lighthouse rogues have reduced vision at night?

[topaz violet]

Thanks!

[median raven]

pretty sure yeah

any other alternatives i can buy that are better?

around like 80k?

[shell kindle]

Mmac

I pretty much just run mmac

[median raven]

is that LL3 mechanic

?

[shell kindle]

You can buy it on flea

Or ll2 ragman barter

1 sewing kit 1 ripstop

[shell kindle]

You can craft 2 rip stop for about 30ish k total, sewing kit is about 30k

[median raven]

yeah ill def barter for it tho

alr cool

[shell kindle]

Oh I guess you can’t buy it on flea

Yeah just make some rip stops at level 1 lab

Lav

3 scav vests which can be bartered for with slickers

Which in turn can be bartered for with vitas

[median raven]

ill just buy it

slickers are around 10k

u need 3 scav vests

[junior glen]

ANA M1 is around 50k more than MMAC, but has 6 more slots. I go with the M1

[median raven]

Mm ic

ill do MMAC first

just cause well its cheaper

[shell kindle]

Ana 4x4 so if you lacking some stash space it’s not super ideal

[median raven]

then ill move on to ANA

[median raven]

non EOD problems

[shell kindle]

For real

[median raven]

KEKW

I have EOD and my stash almost filled up but its fine

I still got a lot of room

[shell kindle]

Also I find that people don’t take mmacs normally cause it’s small

So better chance to get it back via insurance

[median raven]

I dont usually insure even if im solo

ik its good to but

[shell kindle]

Oh okay I insure lol but whatever works

[median raven]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

ye

[prime comet]

I get so many of my mmacs back

Most of the time near full dura too

[drowsy oasis]

how much that cost with all LL4 traders?

[prime comet]

Probably too much

[median raven]

that foregrip is prob around 60k with max traders

prob around 300k

[shell kindle]

Mmacs hella efficient with dura

[silent hamlet]

Yo - any tips how to not instantly get killed on factory?

[prime comet]

Repairs super nicely

[shell kindle]

Check the map for spawn points and run away from them

[prime comet]

Shoot first

[shell kindle]

Go into the tunnels asap then take your time

[prime comet]

I always run ppsh drum mag on factory

[shell kindle]

Factory kinda easy to extract tbh

[prime comet]

Hasn’t failed me yet

[shell kindle]

It’s not too hard to avoid fights

[prime comet]

Ah but my friend

I never want to avoid fights unless i know they’re a losing battle

[shell kindle]

Fair

[prime comet]

And that’s why I die stupidly half of the time

[shell kindle]

Just talking about the wurvivabiliy part

I think my highest extract map is factory lol

Maybe woods then factory

[prime comet]

Mines probably woods honestly

[shell kindle]

Idk I can’t play pmc

[prime comet]

I come across next to nobody on woods 90% of the time

And if I do they’re 3/4 man

[shell kindle]

Yeah I either get sniped or never see anyone

[prime comet]

I did manage a 1v3 earlier with an adar though

[shell kindle]

No woods tasks now so I haven’t been playing woods

[prime comet]

And m855

That was fun

[shell kindle]

I got a weekly extract 10 times

Nice

[prime comet]

I’ve got mine for woods too

15 times

450k and 2 x rolers

Think I’ve done like 7 so far

[shell kindle]

what mines only 100k and a suppressor and a scope

[silent hamlet]

Thats what I did. Some chad FB me without seeing where I was hiding?

Probably an obvious spot

[rain wing]

@pure talon thanks for the loadout again :)

[median raven]

wtf

surv kit and 2 grizzlys?

[austere storm]

do i find secure flash drives on the outside of a pc block or inside?

[smoky moth]

never seen them anymore

could be just rare, or removed for a while

[hallow sphinx]

what should i trade in scav case? intel,moonshine,cash???

[austere storm]

i really need 2 for the skier mission

[smoky moth]

open safes and filing cabinets

more reliable than pc blocks

[smoky moth]

95k, or moonshine

[crystal warren]

you need 3 more after that one

[smoky moth]

intelligence gets you rare keys, but it's not a good investment

you dont profit

[hallow sphinx]

is there like a link that says what gives what? tried looking on the wiki

[smoky moth]

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

[wide bridge]

hey, i have this type of ak

and several scope, but none of them fits, because no picatiny rails ( i guess, because i looted another ak that had a top receiver with rails, and i was able to use the scope )

[smoky moth]

location says it

[wide bridge]

my question is, where can i buy the good top receiver?

or instal picatiny rails

[crystal warren]

bastion dust cover

[smoky moth]

buy a bastion

[rain wing]

sr-25s are hot wtf

[wide bridge]

sold by the technician?

for the bastion

[smoky moth]

Skier LL1, technician you mean Mechanic?

[wide bridge]

yeah ( sorry, have not the game in english, i translated badly )

thx!

ok, i buyed 3 bastions, i have way to many aks and scope

[crystal warren]

throw a buttpad on the stock too for less recoil!

[wide bridge]

that goes over the stock? or it's a a stock in itself?

[crystal warren]

it just goes on the end of the stock

[wide bridge]

ok, all stock?

i have the really basic one on this weapon

[crystal warren]

this one https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/AK_GP-25_accessory_kit_recoil_pad

yeah it fits on there, always try to grab one as its cheap and gives a nice buff

[wide bridge]

thx mate

[crystal warren]

yup and good luck

[wide bridge]

thx^^

with the advice i got yesterday, i do a lot more money, so i'm more willing to actually try to customize guns etc... so i'm learning

[rain wing]

bsg stop giving me more salewas

jesus christ

[crystal warren]

very nice, only up from here

[wide bridge]

yeah

[prime comet]

I always miss these now

[wide bridge]

where the fuck i can buy AK GP-25? i looked at all traders

[prime comet]

Could do with a good labs kit lmao

[rain wing]

this one was the meta gearset

[prime comet]

That sr doesn’t look much different from mine

I just use a different scope

[crystal warren]

oooo shit its prapor level 2, my fault

[wide bridge]

okok, i'll keep that in mind and try to gain reput with him

thx for the advice tho

[prime comet]

Compare @rain wing

[rain wing]

let me check

[prime comet]

Just a different pgrip and scope by the looks of it

[lethal helm]

we comparing guns now??

[prime comet]

I just wanted to compare my sr to the “meta” sr

[rain wing]

I don't even know what a meta sr looks like lmfao

[lethal helm]

shit i prob have the meta sr lmao

[rain wing]

as long as the bullets go pew and the person on the end of the barrel dies then I'm all for it

[prime comet]

I just don’t have the laser basically

Sights are whatever

[rain wing]

also what shd I do with gp coins again?

[prime comet]

Personal preference

[wide bridge]

so, @crystal warren

in fact, we can make pretty "good" ak-setup for that expensive

[rain wing]

should I just sell them?

I only have one

not nearly enough for barter

[shell kindle]

I sell mine

[prime comet]

No, there’s some good barters for them

Have you done gunsmith 4?

[crystal warren]

yeah you could, once you unlock flea itll only get better since you can buy other parts

[prime comet]

What is this scope

Is it the circular reticle

Variable zoom thing

[wide bridge]

i'm so impatient to have flea tbh...

[rain wing]

what should I do with a vulkan fs?

I don't even have the helmet

[lethal helm]

sell

[rain wing]

aight

[prime comet]

Is that the variable zoom scope with the big red circle reticle?

[wide bridge]

i'll be able to sell at flea the legendady idea tactic gear!

/joking

[pure talon]

buffer tube and silencer, that's 30% higher recoil

[austere storm]

how do i find secure flash drives ive been going on so many runs without finding a single one

[lethal helm]

no thats the burris

[prime comet]

Ahh

[wide bridge]

i saw few minutes ago fence selling 1

[prime comet]

I wanna try it on my sr

[austere storm]

i need found in raid drives

[candid cradle]

loot safes they tend to have a bunch of flash drives

[lethal helm]

razor best

[prime comet]

I just live on the one you see

1/6x

[rain wing]

what do I need to keep paracord for again?

[prime comet]

Pass

[rain wing]

pass?

[lethal helm]

red rebal

rebal

[rain wing]

isn't rr

like

fcond

dfuel

and propane?

[pure talon]

yes

[lethal helm]

idk i stole mine from my friend

[rain wing]

💀

well

[prime comet]

I need to get one

But they’re too pricey for me lmao

[rain wing]

now to dump this sr-25 in my stash and never touch it again

[prime comet]

Boring

Take it to woods and one tap heads

Fuck that gear fear

[smoky moth]

textile part 1 but it's lvl 42

so sell it

[rain wing]

aight

[austere hound]

Safes, sticking out the front of PCs, & filing cabinets are your best bet.

[orchid citrus]

anyone wanna run some very ratty woods pmc runs? trying to figure out woods more. dm me thanks!

[shell kindle]

You need para cord for the red rebel extract I think

[prime comet]

Oh I forgot I stripped a rogue m4

[shell kindle]

But you can just buy it, doesn’t need to be fir

[prime comet]

And put most of the parts on my adar earlier

[smoky moth]

bro he's lvl 25 or something and never touched lighthouse or reserve unless its a quest

🗿

[prime comet]

I feel attacked

But I actively farm rogues so nevermind

[smoky moth]

plus he has no red rebel and still jaeger ll1

[smoky moth]

does lighthouse mains even use the red rebel extract tbh

[prime comet]

I wouldn’t know

[smoky moth]

there's the highway roadblock extract

[prime comet]

I can’t afford one

[smoky moth]

🗿

[prime comet]

I always end up northern checkpoint anyway

Because it’s my natural route

[smoky moth]

yea northern checkpoint

for the red rebel extract after you farm rogues you have to walk to the other side and walk on the road

[barren oasis]

cool

[smoky moth]

pretty much a waste of time when you can just walk to the train station

[jaunty cliff]

gear fear be like. literally most important thing for new players imo. dont have gear fear, its pointless the game wipes and whats the point if you wont use it and it just takes space. sell it or use it

[prime comet]

Yup

[prime comet]

This tbh

[barren oasis]

dc still got gear fear for some reason

[prime comet]

If you’re not gonna use it I’ll trade it for a gun you would use

[rain wing]

I would probably run it but I'm trying to just go fucking sv-98 factory to finish this quest for this jaeger cunt

[jaunty cliff]

if you wont use it within the next 10 raids sell it

[prime comet]

Same as the slick

[rain wing]

I'll bring it in on shore

[prime comet]

Just don’t run the slick with a helm and no face shield

Otherwise you’re wasting the slick 95% chance

[jaunty cliff]

I follow this rule except for one situation, if the gun is something I cant buy. IE: Mutant, Rsass or mdr. thats pretty much it

[prime comet]

I got my first mutant earlier

Btw

How do I build it

I know it’s not a cheap gun to build decently

[rain wing]

I have 3 slicks and a hexgrid now lmfao

should I just run the hex?

[jaunty cliff]

not to bad, roughly 100-200k without the gun cost. depends on one part

[smoky moth]

i recommend this build

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-Uknr2jsuw&ab_channel=JoJoTV

[rain wing]

I do also have a gen4 assault

[prime comet]

Give me one and I’ll show you a lack of gear fear

[jaunty cliff]

ill send an ss

[smoky moth]

do remember that the muzzle flashes will block your vision

[prime comet]

I got it from a labs raider

[jaunty cliff]

strafe left and right and you can see well

[prime comet]

If that means anythin

[jaunty cliff]

is it already modded

[prime comet]

It was stock

[jaunty cliff]

ok one sec

[prime comet]

I just put a magpul and a sight on it to save inv space

[smoky moth]

i wouldnt bring a hexgrid if im not fighting any bosses tbh

[prime comet]

Run it to labs

No balls

Then you’re not getting it back anyway if you die

[rain wing]

@smoky moth labs? 🤗

🗿

[jaunty cliff]

yes

[smoky moth]

you confident running it today?

[rain wing]

I mean idm I guess

[smoky moth]

yea

oh yea what's the restock on mechanic right now

[rain wing]

maybe later tonight

[prime comet]

That does seem mean

[jaunty cliff]

@prime comet

[prime comet]

I see that foregrip on so many weapons

[barren oasis]

seems like ur broke

[rain wing]

before we do I'll check the map online or something

[prime comet]

I mean, kinda?

[jaunty cliff]

run online first please

[prime comet]

I’m at 3mil so compared to a lot, I am broke

[rain wing]

you mean offline?

[smoky moth]

wish we can play offline together lul

[rain wing]

yeahh

[jaunty cliff]

yea lmao

run offline to get your bearings of where stuff is

[rain wing]

yeah

I'll have a map open as well

[wide bridge]

i need 1 bolt for the workplace in the hideout

where could i find that?

[barren oasis]

me

u want i t

[austere hound]

Haven't really done much sniping at all. What are some good spots to go if I wanna complete punisher 6?

[smoky moth]

toolboxes, technical crates and flea market

[wide bridge]

thx, so the repair warehouse in customs?

[barren oasis]

on top of train at new gas or get on top of the house thingies at crack

[smoky moth]

where

[wide bridge]

trading isn't allowed by this server's rule, and i want to loot it

[barren oasis]

hell do i wanna trade

[wide bridge]

at the bottom right, repair ship

[smoky moth]

ZB-1011?

the one with some pc blocks

[barren oasis]

i always find some at the container at scav checkpoint

[orchid citrus]

bottom right

[smoky moth]

yes

the one

near it

[wide bridge]

the building left to silo ( which is top of zb 1011 )

[steady pulsar]

Can someone help me with the Jager task from mechanic on woods? ill give a roler

[silent hamlet]

I hate factory so much

[smoky moth]

that one

[wide bridge]

ok, i'll camp it then

[smoky moth]

is just pc blocks

[rain wing]

when I run labs offline should I have the raiders on or just explore?

[smoky moth]

no raiders is much more scarier imo

[wide bridge]

up to you to choose i guess?

[rain wing]

how so?

[smoky moth]

you're alone in labs

💀

[rain wing]

oh

right.

[austere hound]

Your choice, but I'd say no ai to learn the layout, raiders for a bit of that + some practice

[pure talon]

Someone asked me for this specific build recently in a giveaway, and after a raid and some experimentation he was very thankful for me pointing out the value of keeping a sane amount of ergo on the gun.
This build has 10 more recoil, but it also has 24 more ergo which is often very useful:

[rain wing]

yeah I'll run offline labs in between me fucking around in factory trying to 360 no scope some pmcs near office

with a mosin or an sv-98

[lethal helm]

offline labs is a thing

?

[rain wing]

yes

[barren oasis]

yes

[austere hound]

Mosin iron sights gang 💪

[rain wing]

💪

[smoky moth]

what...

[lethal helm]

i fr didnt know

[rain wing]

I think you actually need a card for it don't you?

[smoky moth]

every map has offline mode smh

[barren oasis]

si

[smoky moth]

won't consume the card

[rain wing]

yeah it won't use it

but you need one

[lethal helm]

level 36 and just found iu

out

[austere hound]

Wait. Access cards are consumed each time you go in?

[rain wing]

yes

[austere hound]

Bruh

[rain wing]

into online raids

[smoky moth]

yea, that's why they're ~100k at therapist

[pure talon]

170k

[lethal helm]

166k

[smoky moth]

good thing i stockpiled a lot of them

[median raven]

zero 2 hero once u unlock the access cards are good on labs tho

as long as u got the skill

like 8 other geared af ppl

[wide bridge]

wut?
i have 1 lab card, therapist can buy it for 63k...

[median raven]

u can buy directly from therapist

for 166k

the card

[smoky moth]

you do know that the prices are halved to 50% if you sell it back

[wide bridge]

oh, my bad

[smoky moth]

🗿

[wide bridge]

yeah

[median raven]

all g lol

[wide bridge]

i thinked you were speaking about selling card to her XD

[smoky moth]

you can buy the card from therapist and mechanic barter trade

but therapist one is more worth it

[wide bridge]

you probably need some rep with her tho?

for lab card

[smoky moth]

yep

LL4

which is why you have to grind

[rain wing]

is this barter worth it?

I just need a little more xp for ll3

[barren oasis]

yeah its cheaper then buying it

[rain wing]

aight

[silent hamlet]

KEEP SPAWNING ME IN THE GLASS HALL PLEASE. ITS THE BEST

[barren oasis]

also its not hard to get some of the items in raid

[rain wing]

yeah

I can grind for it while scavving as well

[smoky moth]

guy casually crafts 8 wires per hour

[rain wing]

and wires I can craft 🤗

[rain wing]

not 8 per day

around like

24

[smoky moth]

[rain wing]

sell it all

then rinse and repeat the next day

[smoky moth]

the satisfaction of the wires sold tho

[rain wing]

speaking of

brb lemme craft some

[smoky moth]

it's good that wires never dropped its price dramatically somehow

[rain wing]

obdolbos and meldonin

[smoky moth]

[twilit spindle]

I havent played this game in a while. I saw you cant buy good ammo on flea anymore. Outside of the bosses which are obvious, where can you find high quality ammo? I know about Reserve with the barracks buildings and what not

[rain wing]

yeah

[median raven]

meldonin is ez pmc lighthouse

obdolbos...

[smoky moth]

last time i extracted too fast and my meldonin is gone

[median raven]

good luck man

[smoky moth]

[rain wing]

[crude widget]

[lethal helm]

[rain wing]

I think you have to just run there

[lethal helm]

I can’t remember why

[smoky moth]

[prime comet]

Oh

[rain wing]

😎

[prime comet]

Makes sense considering I just charge into fights

[lethal helm]

i got you

[rain wing]

tagilla boutta make me act up 😩

[prime comet]

Your gear fear makes sense

Seeing what the game gives you play style wise lmao

[rain wing]

I'll get there though

[smoky moth]

🗿

[rain wing]

[prime comet]

This is my first in like 2 years

I played way back when

Flea was level 10

[silver jewel]

bro freeblade

im just getting wiped by chads

[rain wing]

pre inertia 😔

[prime comet]

Lab cards sold on the flea for like 200k

[rain wing]

ripp

I'd just run a double barrelled shotty honestly

[prime comet]

If your friends scav spawned with one it became a free for all for the labs card

[lethal helm]

[silver jewel]

maybe

[rain wing]

lmfao

[silver jewel]

off of a run i did survive

got akeycards holder

and a keytool

lmfao

[rain wing]

nice

[foggy stratus]

“Way back” mate it’s only been a half a year to a year at best since flea was 10, that’s no time at all compared to some of the OG players

[prime comet]

This tbh

That’s what I call way back for me

Probably longer than this

01/02/2019 I got the game, played until the wipe which was June

3 years ago, and only picked up again about 5 weeks ago

[wide bridge]

is there a "guide" for graphic setting to allow the game to be more visible without taking a too big toll on perf?

[smoky moth]

postfx

or nvidia control panel, gamma up a bit

[prime comet]

Why is Nikita wild

Watching the pestily podcast and he’s casually talking about his favourite ak and waving it about with a massive grin on his face

What a chad

[wide bridge]

gamma is saturation right?

[smoky moth]

in nvidia control panel, it's a separate setting

1 - 1.5 is what i'd recommend

[drowsy ridge]

anyone wanna help with questing?

[north isle]

i need 4 beartags found in raid can someone let me get their tag 4 times ill pay in shoreline keyas

[median raven]

wtf

2 weeks ago

this shit was 165k

how is it almost 500k now?

welp im def selling this key

[rain wing]

for the giga gaming labs run should I run gen4 assault or a hex?

I also have slicks

[median raven]

gen 4 assault

dont waste ur hex and slicks on labs IMO unless u have a lot

feel like ull get leg metaed or something

[rain wing]

prolly

[inner mountain]

can someone tell me what server settings I should use if my scav queues are like 10 mins+ on reserve

[wide bridge]

i'm in europe, playing late in local time, never had 3 min plus queue, on both scav and pmc

( factory and customs )

[inner mountain]

yea idk

my other queues are fine

reseve scav is 10 mins or more

if at all

[wide bridge]

can we easily change server?

[median raven]

ppl not like reserve on ur servers

*may not like

[wide bridge]

if yes, you change server while doing scav

[inner mountain]

oh can you change it in queue?

[median raven]

no

[zinc marlin]

no, only in the launcher bottom right

[wide bridge]

my bad, i didn't realised reserve was a map... ( not having the same name )

don't know the queue for it in eu server

[gilded hare]

I am pretty new, only around 50 hours and I need to get into woods and get Jaegers shit to progress. The map is way too big and everything looks the same, any tips?

[lethal helm]

best shoreline keys?

[smoky moth]

i have these

they're not the best, they just have ledx spawns or keycard spawns

[barren oasis]

night is the best to do quest imo

[gilded hare]

then you can't see anything though, right?

[wide bridge]

do the map offline, to learn where it is etc...
and then do it normal, avoid fight, do the quest
and take a sniper type scope ( i'm assuming you're speaking about the first quest?

[barren oasis]

no it just that theres less player, or you dont run into any rlly

makes it easier to finish qest

[gilded hare]

Gotcha, and yeah I am on the first quest where you need to get his message or whatever at the plane

I guess since I have the compass that helps

[wide bridge]

i did it without the compass

i just waited the first minutes hidden, to let the first big fight happens, pmc to leave the raid, and then i moved, map of the place opened on my phone, i took the message, and evac the map

and avoided "point of interest"

[gilded hare]

Okay, thank you so much

[bold kernel]

is it normal for me to be able to see perfectly fine at night?

[wide bridge]

i had a sniper on me, but used it only once in this raid, on a scav i saw ( didn't killed it, failed the headshot, hit him in the torse, he ran away being a rock, didn't saw him anymore, i guess he died of the bleeding after i did my evac )

[jagged laurel]

Depends if the moon is out

[bold kernel]

yeah no

[median raven]

?

[wide bridge]

maybe due to you irl having a better nightvision?

not sure tho, i have a better nightvision than average ( proved with test, diagnosis etc... i do not see in full dark tho, i'm not a cat or whatever, it's just slight above average ), and i don't see shit in tarkov at night

[bold kernel]

i can hop in an offline real quick

[rain wing]

we have too many keys 💀

I have like 3 with ledx and another 4 with random spawns

[wide bridge]

which thing it's vital to upgrade first in the hideout?.

[inner mountain]

can anyone with reserve keys help me quest

[median raven]

Snoreline keyset

[queen reef]

how do i get spent up on jaeger 1

[median raven]

buy and sell

[bold kernel]

buy and sell

[queen reef]

what do i buy and resell

[bold kernel]

anythig

[sour fjord]

Is it not possible anymore to get empty servers? I set my location to nowhere-ville so I could get a quest done, which I had done a few wipes back, but I've been in "Matching" for 7 minutes. It doesn't seem to want me to get an empty map at all.

[smoky moth]

[bold kernel]

normal? thats on interchange behind the escalator in oli are near back halls

[wide bridge]

i can correctly see

[bold kernel]

okay but is it that bright for you?

[unique plover]

all those keys and you haven’t used any!

[bold kernel]

like if you went to an offline rn

[median raven]

not my keyset :P

tho ure prob right

i wouldnt use them

i despise snoreline

[wide bridge]

not bright, but ok ish

[unique plover]

I had a good fight in admin last raid. ended up dying though 😦

It lasted a while, we were chasing each other around

[cunning nebula]

punisher p3 done:) now p4

[bold kernel]

[cunning nebula]

[kind oracle]

[whole thistle]

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

[rain wing]

btc rig takes awhile to pay itself back if you buy gpu off flea

[whole thistle]

its a couple thousand off sometimes but id rather use it than pay for tarkovmarket premium lmao

[whole thistle]

no

cordura supremacy

[rain wing]

sorry I meant scav case

[whole thistle]

nuts

thats not a craft he wants consistency

[rain wing]

ohhh I misread

I thought he meant what's the best hideout module

[whole thistle]

58 RUBKES?? DAMN!!

[rain wing]

big profit

[bold kernel]

zamn*

[rain wing]

3 of those and you'll get a little over a dollar

[whole thistle]

ZAMN SHE'S 58k PROFIT PER HOUR

[signal chasm]

Once the wipe happens, could I get some advice for getting started again? Like, literally a fresh start, what should I do?

[raw bridge]

thank you

[white sapphire]

Quests until your brain rot

[rain wing]

quests until perma brain damage

[signal chasm]

I know it's not gonna be happening for a few more months, but I'd just like to take some notes so I'm ready

[rain wing]

kill people

[white sapphire]

Get loot

[whole thistle]

Get the flea market fast, prices are absolutely fucked beyond belief in the first week

[rain wing]

big loot

[whole thistle]

corrugated hose 100k

water filters 6k

[signal chasm]

Good luck spending up to a 100 raids just to reach lv. 15

[whole thistle]

You think its hard because this was your first wipe

[kind oracle]

does anyone sell the 6L31 mag

[whole thistle]

Anything past your first wipe is dummy easy

[rain wing]

flea

oh wait

nvm

[signal chasm]

How so?

[rain wing]

considering you're doing gunsmith 1

uhh you can find them off raiders

I got mine off one

[whole thistle]

You know what to do and die way less

[kind oracle]

yea i'm only lvl 12 so its still locked for me

[upbeat rune]

Experience... duh

[signal chasm]

Third actually, the last 2 wipes.. I did not spend much time playing Tarkov

[whole thistle]

You're literally learning the game while starting up on your first wipe lol, its way harder

[whole thistle]

just gotta learn your early shit, unless you have periodic dementia then you might be fucked

[bold kernel]

me

[signal chasm]

Thank god I don't

[whole thistle]

This video is cracked asf, its pretty clickbait but he does actually give good advice @signal chasm
https://youtu.be/mOIU2ubBaIo

[signal chasm]

Alrighty, thanks man

[whole thistle]

its all about how to quest as efficiently as possible

so you dont farm flash drives and shootout picnic for 2 days straight lmao

[smoky moth]

so junk box craft is not worth it

🗿

[whole thistle]

Nop

[smoky moth]

bro i literally got told it was profit

[whole thistle]

By who

[smoky moth]

fimconte

[whole thistle]

Is that a YouTuber or something

[smoky moth]

@hazy veldt

[rain wing]

is lucky scav not profit?

[whole thistle]

Oh lmao

[whole thistle]

It's like -40k rubles

[rain wing]

💀

[smoky moth]

price probably changed

🗿

[whole thistle]

The case crafts are almost never profitable

Frfr

[smoky moth]

got killed with labs access as scav in woods

💀

[bronze gazelle]

thats rough!

[smoky moth]

omg

nvm

nikita just gave me something else back as a compensation

[rain wing]

shorty mosin 😋

[bronze gazelle]

is that a pilgrim? on a scav?

[rain wing]

fuck the pilgrim

[honest shore]

Where is the best place to find Eagle?

[rain wing]

yeah

it happens

[whole thistle]

Yeah they spawn with them a lot

[bronze gazelle]

this is my 1st wipe and im only lvl 10 havnt seen much of that yet

[smoky moth]

my scav runs are
big backpacks = interchange OLI
small backpacks = woods stash runs

[whole thistle]

I see one ever like 20 hours

[raw bridge]

customs

[smoky moth]

[whole thistle]

Don't care + lighthouse

[rain wing]

my scav runs are:

customs

😎

then check stashes and just run to dorms

[whole thistle]

I've done like 6 scav runs in total this wipe lmao

[rain wing]

and pick through every single jacket I see

[teal trail]

Interchange 🤡

[smoky moth]

hoping for the dorms marked

[rain wing]

yes

😔

I need it

[smoky moth]

OLI is good

[teal trail]

Nah fuck interchange

[whole thistle]

I wanna get dorms marked and trade it for a UN arm band for my friends birthday present

(his birthday was a month ago)

[smoky moth]

i'd fuck OLI

😳

[honest shore]

I play Customs a ton, where on Customs

[rain wing]

you can look in stashes

I find a lot

[teal trail]

Only value I see is shus and nuts 🤷‍♂️

[rain wing]

but not exactly relaible

[rain wing]

sewing kit worth quite a lot

fuel is fuel

[honest shore]

I hit stashes pretty frequently but that's where my friend always gets his, maybe I just need to keep trying my luck. ty

[rain wing]

emotors 🥵

[teal trail]

Gunpowder, go reserve and check all the wooden crates in helicopter buildings

[teal trail]

Fuel has 0 value trust trust

[rain wing]

yes

0 value

[teal trail]

And his knife is aight not worth the slots it takes up

[honest shore]

Ok thanks for the recommendation.

[rain wing]

wait can gunpowders spawn in technical crates?

[smoky moth]

i see kites

[teal trail]

Nah I mean the lil green ones

[honest shore]

Yeah I have no problem getting Kite

[teal trail]

But all those surrounding buildings are slept on. @honest shore I’d also go under the little place with the 2 grates left of helicopter, has a dead scav and duffle, as well as behind heli, behind that building has a dead scav

[long crystal]

Under a friend's watchful eye, I think I'm ready for my first Woods PMC run

[honest shore]

I'll have to learn reserve, I need that ammo box

[lethal helm]

weird raid 💀

[teal trail]

Change the scope if possible

[long crystal]

Howso?

Pilad 4x32

[teal trail]

Do you have flea?

[long crystal]

Level 8

[rain wing]

pilad works honestly

[teal trail]

Pre bad scope but should be aight ig. Jaeger sells a decent one for 2 vodka (much better)

[rain wing]

it should be fine

[teal trail]

I never liked it personally

[long crystal]

what about this

[teal trail]

Nah keep pilad

[long crystal]

Gotcha

[raw bridge]

vortex scope best scope

[rain wing]

wait @long crystal do you know woods yet?

you should prolly go offline

my first woods raid

went very

bad

[median raven]

vortex and/or vudu

vortex is more expensive tho thats prob why ppl like vudu

[rain wing]

vudu is hot

[median raven]

and also the "switch" aesthetic for vudu

[whole crest]

reshala?

[long crystal]

Going in with said friend

What about shoreline

[lethal helm]

wrong person lmao

[rain wing]

shoreline later

resort is a bit scary for low levels

[lethal helm]

shoreline

[teal trail]

Actually getting around to spa tour but fuck shoreline for questing

Shoreline is fun when u rush resort tho

[rain wing]

hit the stashes

[rain wing]

yeah but this guy doesn't even have flea

[teal trail]

Wasn’t talking bout him

[rain wing]

oh

then yes

shoreline fun

[lethal helm]

i got jumped and somehow lived by the boss

[prime comet]

My last reserve run we cleared the raiders then I died to a glukhar guard

Was very sad

[teal trail]

In bunker?

[lethal helm]

ive only killed that once

after getting killed by him 37 times

[prime comet]

Near the middle, by the chopper the guard was

Got head eyes almost instantly when he shot at me

[teal trail]

I’ve been clearing bunker raiders and he just wanders down it’s scary as fuck

[whole crest]

fuck gluhar

i cant kill him as a holo

[teal trail]

He doesn’t leave the little room tho

[whole crest]

solo

[prime comet]

I’ve not seen him yet

[teal trail]

Tbh when u cheese ai it’s easy

[whole crest]

ive only seen him in underground and k

underground is somewhat easy

but k is a pain in the pass

[prime comet]

I don’t know the map well enough

I was just doing it with a friend to make him happy

[bold kernel]

any1 able to help me de-clutter my stash?

[rain wing]

screenshot

[hearty magnet]

post it

[bold kernel]

itd be 5 screenshots

[rain wing]

then send 5 screenshots?

we don't really expect it to be 1 screenshot

it's your entire stash

[rain wing]

sell the mags you don't use

or get a magazine case

[rain wing]

remove the magazine and pistol grip off all the guns

[rain wing]

stack the backpacks

[lethal helm]

10 rounders

[lethal helm]

fuck em

[teal trail]

Tbh when this happened to me I just start selling shit. Stop caring if I’ll use it eventually

[whole crest]

put pilgrim in attack 2

[bold kernel]

working on mag case rn

[rain wing]

^

also I personally don't like belt in my stash

too big

[teal trail]

Especially with shit in backpacks, sell it all, use the money later

[lethal helm]

true

[bold kernel]

the atk 2 has a gunslinger in it

[lethal helm]

my stash has always been neat

[whole crest]

use the gunslinger instead of the pilgrim

[bold kernel]

like i know i need to sell, i just dont know what

[whole crest]

mags

if u have any

[crude widget]

if I have a flashlight and then a laser on 2 different spots, is there a way to set it up so when its toggled, one is off and the other is on?

[teal trail]

BRO I SPENT ALL THAT TIME TYPING

For it to get auto deleted for it being too long 😔😔

[teal trail]

Sell everything aside from good ammo (expensive/can’t be purchased), sell non stackable backpacks and everything inside, guns can be re bought just take off high value attachments. Sell most keys that don’t really matter

[bold kernel]

which keys

[rain wing]

yotota machinery pretty useless

most of the blue ones are pretty bad tbf

[hearty magnet]

unknown key

[lethal helm]

my neat ass stash

[hearty magnet]

what happen to thicc

[lethal helm]

im broke

[hearty magnet]

you sold it?

[lethal helm]

never ha done

had

ooine

one

[hearty magnet]

you didnt complete private clinic?

[lethal helm]

i dont i have that task

think

[hearty magnet]

gotta finish health care privacy first

[rain wing]

1-4^

[lethal helm]

yeah havent done that one yet

[teal trail]

Everything in the key tool aside from directors can go, any safe rooms that you know of keep. There’s dorms keys guides

[teal trail]

As well sell those shoreline health resort keys on flea, if you ever plan on going resort for looting you’ll do research on keys anyways

[bold kernel]

so im like lvl 6 and i guess i need to level up to be able to do my hideout more, im trying to increase my endurance. i was wondering if i could just run around for 20 min to be able to upgrade endurance aswell as do it on my scav

[rain wing]

levelling pmc differs from scav levelling

honestly you're better off just levelling while playing

[bold kernel]

oh, i just remember i was lvl 4 endurance and i leveld up to 5 on scav and next was 6 on pmc

theres no true way to grind skills?

[teal trail]

Scav skill and pmc skill is different

[junior glen]

There is, but I'd recommend just playing the game normally. Skills will level eventually

[teal trail]

It’s like a mmo rpg with skills without being as shitty as most mmo rpgs

[bold kernel]

meta

hahaha gotchu. should i worry about quests or should i kinda learn loot i need/dont need. i got the maps fairly well down

[teal trail]

Grinding specific skills can work but it costs a metric fuckton and you’ll get the same shit just playing the game

[bold kernel]

both

trader rep is good

gotchu

[bold kernel]

gotchu

lvl 4 traders are good for items cases, weapons, thiccs

ya

ooo

its mad expensive but yk

[teal trail]

Questing is really good. Use mapgenie.io

[bold kernel]

yes

map genie is so good

except that it doesnt have lighthouse or whatever

reserve and lighthouse

yeah, i tried to do the first quest in woods but idk how to do that like woods im so lost on every time

reserve and lighthouse you can use the app if you have ios

idk if its on android

[teal trail]

I was lost even after doing early woods tasks when I started

[lethal helm]

same

i died to landmines

[bold kernel]

yeah i really need to learn woods, out of all games played maybe 5/50-60 games were woods. its pretty hard to learn

[teal trail]

And now I’ve been running meta shit having fun

Woods is free money

[lethal helm]

usec camp easy m4s

[teal trail]

Nah scav village is crazy

[bold kernel]

what in here should go bye bye

[teal trail]

So much sugar

[lethal helm]

every thing on flea

[teal trail]

Everything on flea

[lethal helm]

bros got 200k alone in water filters

[teal trail]

Hoarding fucking sucks

[bold kernel]

[lethal helm]

[bold kernel]
