[spiral flicker]

i mean

some pen

but thats almost what ever

[orchid salmon]

Correct

Maybe a slight nerf to increase gap between m80/m62 would be good yes. Problem is more that let's say you are not maxed right now at this point of the wipe, u basically need m80 to be competitive.

[spiral flicker]

yea thats true

i got bunch of M61/2 but M80 is so good that i dont see reason to use it

i used M62 to LH sniping tho

[orchid salmon]

m62 has -5 recoil though so for mdr / scar h it's pretty good because of that over m80

[spiral flicker]

or SA-58

why is everyone forgetting sa

[orchid salmon]

If you are a ceiling enjoyer, by al means go for it 🙂

[spiral flicker]

ceiling

[elfin gale]

sa-58 if you plan to shoot stars

[orchid salmon]

Because it's not really a good option full auto compared to mdr / scar l this wipe. It's usable as more of a DMR class weapon with full auto cqb possibilities, but still has crap ergo for a DMR>

[spiral flicker]

does MDR have drums

[orchid salmon]

No it doesn't but you are already shooting practically the best caliber in the game who needs drums for that.

[spiral flicker]

idk

i mean

yea

[orchid salmon]

Anyway, I'm not a fan of any of the full auto 7.62x51 guns this wipe, have been running the dmr's more, sr25 m1a rsass g28

I feel like every time I get into a midrange fight i have to tap fire anyway because otherwise the recoil is just through the roof.

[spiral flicker]

yea

but on close range u have that awesome switch

i like to play this M1A on customs because i feel like it slaps

its kinda cheap too

[orchid salmon]

ewwwwww

[spiral flicker]

[rain wing]

@autumn knoll G3 when? 🤗

[hazy veldt]

archangel for looks or?

[spiral flicker]

ergo, recoil and drip

better then stock

M1A

[orchid salmon]

Would love it but honestly I don't think what Tarkov needs right now is another great gun in that caliber to be fair xD

[remote kettle]

check the #sherpa-info channel and put in a ticket through that server, or get in #pvp-lfg

[spiral flicker]

whats G3

[rain wing]

yeah lol

[remote kettle]

5.56 does .308 doesn't

[spiral flicker]

this better

[orchid salmon]

If you're not running atleast 2 blue lasers ur not a real sa-58 user.

[spiral flicker]

2 blues

why

[orchid salmon]

Why not I'd ask you? Double the lasers = double the kills

[spiral flicker]

does it make difference

?

xd

or its just meme

so it means

this build

is super good because there are 4 sights and 4 lasers

so

[shell kindle]

you win

congrats

you have escaped tarkov

your account will now be reset

[spiral flicker]

[orchid salmon]

no, attachment bonusses don't stack up. I was just joking 😉

[spiral flicker]

[orchid salmon]

I do approve

[spiral flicker]

it would be insanely good xD

[orchid salmon]

Just one tiny change I'd remove the stock and you good to go.

[spiral flicker]

omg

i actually escaped tarkov with this build

its so fuckin expensive tho

or this

how far can i even zero this scope tho

[orchid salmon]

Perfect.

[orchid salmon]

queue up for factory and find out

[spiral flicker]

XD

[pearl pier]

Is the mosin a good budget sniper?

[spiral flicker]

yea

good amo

ammo

[orchid salmon]

Mosin, Sv-98 or vpo-215 with ap-m probably most budget bolt-action snipers

[spiral flicker]

vpo op

90 damage AP rounds

which can pen lvl 4

but bullet drop not op tho

[silver jewel]

i just got bUSHCAMPED

this isnt fortnite

goddamn

[spiral flicker]

omg bush killed u

[silver jewel]

bro was using bp 762 as well

[spiral flicker]

rip

[silver jewel]

on a naked

with a ppsh

he mag dumped an entire clip

spent more killing me than my gear lmfao

[spiral flicker]

dogtag

still better then die to naked guy with ppsh

[orchid salmon]

Welcome to mid wipe, where players still sit in bushes but now with good ammo and gear.

[spiral flicker]

me AFK

wipe events best thing tho

[silver jewel]

i did 300 damage to his armor

bro was wearing a slick in a bush

[spiral flicker]

nah

no way

[silver jewel]

not even kidding

300 damage absorbedby armor

71 round mag ppsh

bro missed so many shots too

[untold elm]

is the ppsh good budget gun

[spiral flicker]

i ve seen ppl using it for legmeta on factory

[dusky geyser]

not really
30k gun + 15k mag

horrendous recoil

good fun but a Kedr-B will increase the distance for legmetaing 3-fold while being cheap, at the cost of fire rate

[untold elm]

idek what to do

when i use good guns i just dont know how to pvp or use them properly

dont see any improvement when i play i just get game knowledge

[spiral flicker]

game knowledge is very important tho

when u do some stupid stuff and then die to it, you wont do that again

and u will get better in pvp

[sand cloak]

why did sanitar just shoot me as a scav

[spiral flicker]

low scav karma

[shell kindle]

Mhe shoots everyone

[untold elm]

you need good scav karma for bosses to be nice

[sand cloak]

its 0.20 so i dont get it

[shell kindle]

You need 6

[spiral flicker]

almost there

[sand cloak]

ive i knew that i woulda killed him when i first saw him

[spiral flicker]

fuckin santa

[lucid goblet]

He woulda killed u still. Also You’d lose 0.25 scav rep if u kill him as a scav

[spiral flicker]

santa was the worst thing in tarkov

[sleek briar]

Soo bitcoin is taking a dive. Reckon store for now or just sell ?

[lucid goblet]

Accidentally killed him?

[lucid goblet]

Always hold

[spiral flicker]

ye

[lucid goblet]

Lmfao

[spiral flicker]

he bled out after he pushed me

i shot him once with PS ammo in thorax and he got bleeding

and he bled out

[lucid goblet]

Noooo. I shot him by accident once and just acccepted my death lol

No scav karma lost tho

[spiral flicker]

i could have 6 scav karma already

i got his drip tho

80 k for fuckin beard

[lucid goblet]

After 6 scav rep if u kill a scav u drop to 5.99 no matter what. So even if u get 7 and kill a scav u go to 5.99 rip

[spiral flicker]

yea but still u can flex u have 6 scav karma

and some special trades from fance is op

i saw in some video he was selling M62 for 400 rubs

[lucid goblet]

Nahhh fence max rep shop sells uninsured items left in raid. So mostly ammo. U can get cheap ammo sometimes but it’s luck and tbh not worth it but still cool to have

[jagged laurel]

I got some m61 for 279 rubles a round

[spiral flicker]

lol ok

[jagged laurel]

Depends I check it after every raid you find some crazy stuff sometimes

[lucid goblet]

600 scav raids just to buy cheap ammo sometimes lol

Don’t get me wrong I still do it. 13 scav rep. Just wish I didn’t do it lol

[jagged laurel]

Idk I have max stats on my pmc I think if you run your scav it’s a nice benefit that can have a big payout occasionally

[lucid goblet]

Yeah scav is great money I just meant the fence shop sucks ass lol

[spiral flicker]

not true

u have 4 car extract if i am not wrong

[tidal briar]

'juicers outside my room'

[spiral flicker]

wtf xD

[tidal briar]

'im scared i see a juicer'

[spiral flicker]

kill him

[lucid goblet]

This meme is too high of an intellect for me to understand rip

[spiral flicker]

XD

[tidal briar]

juicer = chad

[tidal briar]

'Theres kitted players outside my roomm

[lucid goblet]

Lmfaooo I get it now

It is indeed funny

[spiral flicker]

kill them all

push them

ez

[tidal briar]

impact nade right click as i sprint out of the room

ill take em all with me😈

[spiral flicker]

nah just throw it in

[tidal briar]

id rather sacrifice myself

epic

[spiral flicker]

nah

only epic loot

[tidal briar]

well i only carry a PM and 20 impact nades

[spiral flicker]

throw them all in there

[tidal briar]

early wipe vibes lmao

[spiral flicker]

the ground will shake

they will be ded

ez pz

wait did u just heard juicers out of ur room and u have time to do meme about it and chat with me ? xD

[tidal briar]

yes im sitting in the corner with a rhys and hexgrid

wairing

[spiral flicker]

ok less go

bro

push them

pm op

[tidal briar]

no i need them all in the doorway first lol

[spiral flicker]

[tidal briar]

i cant kill just one i need all theee or its pointless

[icy fable]

it's all a matter of who gets impatient quicker

amount of patience is directly correlated to value of kit

[lucid goblet]

Never lose the patient game I’ll camp all raid

Lol

[icy fable]

true

[lucid goblet]

I often tell myself “don’t push don’t lose the patience game” then they push and kill me lol

Sometimes I kill them too tho

[icy fable]

I spent a whole game yesterday on factory with someone chasing me, I kept displacing, but the fucker was never more than 1 wall away from me

but he was too afraid to push into my saiga

and I was too afraid to push into (what sounded like) a rpk

funny thing is, we were technically covering each others opposite angle, I killed 4 scavs and 2 players and he killed a bunch too, but I never even saw the damn bastard

[lucid goblet]

That’s hilarious actually

[icy fable]

yeah, I realized how funny it was AFTER the round... during the round my hear was trying to yeet itself out of my chest

we went from forklifts anti-clockwise, round the map, all the way to medical exit

I sprinted from gate 0 to medical through tunnels while he was in the tiny corridor beside gate 0 because I honestly though I wouldn't even get to unlock the damn door

we stayed on the map til there were only 2 minutes left xD

[spiral flicker]

rpk has bad rounds xd

you could push him

[icy fable]

who said I had good armor?

[spiral flicker]

even with lvl 4 you could push

i said rounds. the round have no dmg

[icy fable]

rpk might have been wrong, I dunno, sounded loud and with huge amount of ammo

[spiral flicker]

ppsh

[icy fable]

i.e. 30+ mags

nope, that I would def have pushed

shit weapon

[spiral flicker]

it can be any 5.45 ak tho

it was tagilla with rpk

[icy fable]

tbh I probably blew it up in my mind into something scary because he was dispensing death

[spiral flicker]

drip always work

[icy fable]

thought about it at some point, but tagilla doesn't stay as still as that guy was

[spiral flicker]

yea i was joking

[icy fable]

nice dude

tagilla has very recognizable footwork actually, you can hear it's him immediately

[spiral flicker]

not much but some dickhead was sniping me with thermal (i think)

yea

and i stepped on mine too

[icy fable]

not full, but not bad loot, it's mostly very nice stuff

[spiral flicker]

what a nice raid

yea

[icy fable]

landmines

[spiral flicker]

LH

i should fuckin use these armors

i mean i am using them

but why would i use them to farm rogues in night when they are blind

lh expansion when

[icy fable]

you might have some hoarding issues...

[spiral flicker]

maybe

[icy fable]

but I'll be honest, if I had that much space, i'd do something similar

[spiral flicker]

maybe?

[icy fable]

although i've adopted the theory of having enough gear in stash to last 5-8 raids, assuming I die in every single one

but I've also not gear nearly as much money as you xD

[spiral flicker]

xD

i ll be honest with u, most of these money are from LH rogue farming and LH scaving

like 70%

thats why i have almost 5 scav karma with 1 killed santa

[delicate cliff]

anyone down to do a customs run? i have a task to kill scavs

[spiral flicker]

#pvp-lfg ?

[serene reef]

...?

What is that weird key

[spiral flicker]

xD

[serene reef]

SHUSH

[spiral flicker]

i think its the power station on shoreline

[topaz violet]

what would you guys say is the top 3 AK 7.62 version to build off of

[spiral flicker]

no then

no idea whats that key

[serene reef]

wth is that

[spiral flicker]

Mutant, AKMN, AKM

meta rn

[topaz violet]

thanks, any reason why they are better than the 103 and other variants?

[spiral flicker]

there is literary nothing behind it

[spiral flicker]

no idea, i play mostly 5.45 or 7.62x51

not 7.62x39

[topaz violet]

fair enough

[sturdy star]

does anyone know how much the labs arsenal storage key is? i dont have the market yet and just found one on a scav

[spiral flicker]

its not that expensive as it sounds

give me a sec

34k

[sturdy star]

its the key to the case right ?

cage

[spiral flicker]

not sure

[frosty quarry]

Its a pretty useless key

[prime comet]

I need to do bp on customs

I can’t stand customs still

[spiral flicker]

okey less go

[prime comet]

I’m at work

I did one tank

The one near tarcone

[spiral flicker]

i am going to school in 30 mins

[prime comet]

But then shotgun scav ruined me

And I had no meds like a monkey

[spiral flicker]

thats rip

Geller

[tidal briar]

where the furry bitches at

frfr

[spiral flicker]

i can flex with my own FiR dogtag

[spiral flicker]

in ur basement

i think

[remote kettle]

Zhukov stock and 308 adapter for the Akm variants, mutant lower base recoil, better hidden recoil and higher firerate

[misty ginkgo]

How did you get that?

[remote kettle]

Scav into same raid

[misty ginkgo]

Ohhh, makes sense

[austere hound]

can really geared scavs spawn when the train comes on reserve?

[misty ginkgo]

Raiders can.

Raiders is basically a high geared scav with aimbot.

[austere hound]

I know that, but I don't think these were Raiders

[misty ginkgo]

Did you die to them?

[austere hound]

No & when I was in train they didn't even shoot me. I even flashbanged them to try to hear raider voice lines & nothing

[misty ginkgo]

Are you pmc or scav?

[austere hound]

was scavving

[misty ginkgo]

What’s your scav karma

That could be Glukhar guards

[austere hound]

3.32. I was just in there before & they weren't. They only showed up after the train came so I was super confused

[misty ginkgo]

That’s weird.

They could maybe just have walked there? Sometimes they go roaming

[austere hound]

Ahhh could be. I didn't wanna face check them just in case they were guards. What's the rep threshold for bosses not shooting you?

[spiral flicker]

Exactly

[orchid salmon]

thats gluhar and one of his guards

[olive bough]

hauu I got the last kill I'm finally free from punisher 6's curse

[spiral flicker]

Pog

[spiral flicker]

They chads af

[orchid salmon]

I'm more suprised he didn't get shot this close to them.

Normally they aggro around this distance and just mow you down

But perhaps the train has some weird protection box ?

[austere hound]

Good to know. Didn't know they roamed between the train & K buildings

[spiral flicker]

This is photo right before death

[orchid salmon]

They do, they can spawn anywhere between back side of train station near the marked room, on top of the hermatic bunker, below hermatic bunker, anywhere in k"s and they will rotate between those places so they can be in really off positions sometimes if they get aggroed during a "transition" so to say.

[austere hound]

I've been mowed down by the guards inside of train before lol. Idk for sure why they didn't come after me, but sometimes their aggro is weird

[karmic axle]

how much karma do u lose from killing scavs?

[spiral flicker]

Normal or player?

[karmic axle]

both?

[spiral flicker]

Still just don't do that

[karmic axle]

just asking

hehe

[spiral flicker]

I think it's 0.05 for normal and 0.1 for pscav

And it stacks

[karmic axle]

owh ok

[spiral flicker]

[karmic axle]

scav bosses

and guards?

[spiral flicker]

A lot

[karmic axle]

i know bosses are like alot

but do guards count as well

or are they "scavs"

[spiral flicker]

Dont kill them

[karmic axle]

...

ok

[spiral flicker]

I think it's like 0.25

[icy fable]

shameless copypasta

[karmic axle]

wait

how do u help scavs

or help bosses

[icy fable]

shooting traitors

[spiral flicker]

Ye

[karmic axle]

oh

huh

[dusky geyser]

where did my money go

[icy fable]

there's a traitor scav and you help another scav to kill them, for instance

[icy fable]

puff

[dusky geyser]

i genuinely dont remember spending it on literally anything

[karmic axle]

confused but ok

[icy fable]

well, as a scav you shouldn't kill other scavs; if a player betrays that concept, he becomes a traitor scav

if you kill traitor, you get positive karma

if you only injure him, but another scav gets the kill, you get positive karma for the assistance

because, as a scav, you might get shot at by a traitor and want to kill him, but a bot scav shows up and shotguns the traitor in the head, you should still get some positive karma for having done something

[austere hound]

Guards are the same as other AI scavs

[karmic axle]

ohhhh

what about help a boss?

[icy fable]

same shit, but boss kills traitor

but mind you: not every scav boss likes company

you can get up close and even do hand signals at tagilla and he's chill... Killa on the other hand will hurl profanities and warnings, if at all, and then shoot you in the face, as player or player scav, he's hates having people around simply (even his guards are commonly rather distant from him)

[topaz violet]

at what level should i be selling my dogtags ?

rather what lvl should the dogtags be

[icy fable]

well you could sell them, but they are rather useful for other stuff

[topaz violet]

what should i use them for i have like 300 of em

[icy fable]

some quests will require them to be handed in, and you can barter trade them for nice stuff

[topaz violet]

oh okay

[spiral flicker]

Dogtags under lvl 10 are useless

[icy fable]

you can get scav boxes for 100 of them, for example

[glass zealot]

Items cases for 150 >lvl 17

[icy fable]

under lvl8, I think that's one of the lowest cutoff points

[topaz violet]

i see

okay great thanks

[spiral flicker]

[karmic axle]

meanwhile im the one giving out dogtags

dying every raid

[spiral flicker]

Why u dying

Wrong emote

[icy fable]

possible skill issue?

[spiral flicker]

I meant

[icy fable]

better days are ahead of you my friend

[spiral flicker]

True

You need to get into the pvp

[mossy bison]

hi guys

[spiral flicker]

And pvp tactics are rly hard in this game as you can see

Hello

[karmic axle]

i have

im sitting on 2 mil

but cant winj

[icy fable]

you're in need of an ego boot

[spiral flicker]

Can't win fights?

[karmic axle]

yes

i mean

ngl

[mossy bison]

im new to this game, i brought the beta version last night. so far im not making much if any progress. where do u find like a map

[icy fable]

buy yourself some relatively cheap gear (lvl 4), an mp-153 and some flechette, slap some mods on the shotty and go to factory

[spiral flicker]

Do u take grenades in raid?

[karmic axle]

so search

[icy fable]

play slow and blast people in the chest/face

[karmic axle]

genie maps

[karmic axle]

no

Here's the issue

[icy fable]

solo?

[karmic axle]

i win 1v1s

i dont win when his boyfriend pulls up

[orchid salmon]

Map-genie.io

Or check the tarkov wiki 👍🏻

[mossy bison]

tnkz

[spiral flicker]

Fighting groups can be rly hard. Especially if they are good.

[icy fable]

grenades are your duo when playing solo, and solo vs 2 is always painful

[spiral flicker]

Be careful with grenades tho

[karmic axle]

try vs 3

😦

[glass zealot]

2 suggestions: 1. NEVER loot straight away.
2. Move position as soon as you kill someone

[karmic axle]

bro sometimes its just a third party

[spiral flicker]

Granades are very very powerful thing. But they can get you into trouble when u pull up a granade he can push you.

[karmic axle]

feel like im playing fking apex

[glass zealot]

Exactly why you move around

[karmic axle]

my guy

[glass zealot]

Always assume there is a third party

[karmic axle]

the mf is ratting in a corner

[remote kettle]

quests take any tags

[karmic axle]

then scavs just decide to shoot me

[karmic axle]

some need a level dont they?

[remote kettle]

most dont

[glass zealot]

Welp nothing you can do about that

[spiral flicker]

That's true tho, but there aren't much of these quests right?

[remote kettle]

friend from the west, punisher 6, our own land and counteraction all need any level tags, whereas Trophies is the one task that requires level 50+

[karmic axle]

i dont know half the quests u just pointed out

[remote kettle]

also level 8 tags are the lowest used for barters

[remote kettle]

punisher 6 kill 15 pmcs with svd, hand in 7 bear and 7 usec tags

trophies hand in 20 level 50+ tags

friend from the west kill 7 usec operatives and hand in 7 usec tags

our own land kill 20 usec and hand in 20 usec tags

counteraction kill 20 bear and hand in 20 bear tags

[dire rock]

i doubt hes gonna remember all this

[icy fable]

friend from the west is an early skier task, you will meet that one first basically

[spiral flicker]

[remote kettle]

average player will only get that one

[karmic axle]

i have friend from the west rn

i need to kill 6 more and 2 more dog tags

[dire rock]

most quests that want tags usually have you kill people, dont worry too much about keeping them, if you wanna play it safe just have 10 of each faction on standby

[icy fable]

how come? do people really focus that little on quests?

or are you refering to difficulty as well?

[remote kettle]

punisher 6 is hard to unlock, our own land and counteraction are unlocked after punisher 4 and spa tour 3 respectively, punisher 4 especially your average player wont do, trophies is level 55 to unlock

[dire rock]

punisher and friend from the west are the only tasks that people usually get to because all the others are very late or just not needed

[remote kettle]

even punisher 6 is not very common, people tend to give up on pt4 or 5

[dire rock]

for me once i hit lvl 42 i abandon tasks

really? damn people got lazy

[icy fable]

ahhh, kk

[remote kettle]

its a tricky task for and average gamer

[dire rock]

oh i know im doing it right now lol

[spiral flicker]

I am lazy to do bunker part 1 lol

[dire rock]

fucking gun is cursed

[spiral flicker]

I am doing tasks for pk because I need him on lvl 4

[dire rock]

unless your going for kappa just get whatever tasks get you trader lvl or xp whichever your locked behind

like i said once you hit lvl 42 your basically set

[spiral flicker]

Yea

But I was thinking about doing tasks next wipe

[remote kettle]

unless you want the post 42 quests

[dire rock]

only needed for kappa

or very specific items that arent really important

[remote kettle]

the post 42 quests are not for kappa wdym

[spiral flicker]

What's post 42 quests

[dire rock]

what else would they get you?

[remote kettle]

i mean the ones like clearing outposts, trophies etc

[remote kettle]

unique armbands

[remote kettle]

quests unlocking post level 42

[dire rock]

"or very specific items that arent really important"

[spiral flicker]

Armband means drip

Drip means win

[dire rock]

drip dont get me kills

[remote kettle]

drip is very important

[spiral flicker]

True

[icy fable]

"drip" is the worst term in the world of tarkov

there I said it, i've been thinking about it every single day

[spiral flicker]

[remote kettle]

incorrect

[dire rock]

just be like me and match your clothing to the map your going to and blend in

[remote kettle]

gear is temporary, drip is forever

[spiral flicker]

True

[dire rock]

everyone's got their opinions

[spiral flicker]

I got my RR just for drip

Haven't used it yet

[dire rock]

shovel gaming

[orchid salmon]

Are you a standard clothing enjoyer?

[spiral flicker]

Usec standard clothes are 🤮

[dire rock]

usec base enjoyer vs drip fan

[karmic axle]

me who cant afford new clothes

[dire rock]

dont worry youll get there

[icy fable]

Function > Form for me

[dire rock]

agreed

[remote kettle]

this is the biggest L take i have ever seen in this game

[karmic axle]

lets agree

black 5-7 is drip

[icy fable]

as long as I have long sleeves on my char, because skin is lighter/seen from farther, I'm good

[dire rock]

i am not qualified to decide drip or drown

[icy fable]

that said, I did pick BEAR because the camo looks better

[dire rock]

i like usecs voice lines

[versed valley]

I picked BEAR because "cheeky breeky"

[spiral flicker]

Mustache under trooper mask is drip for example

Or Santa's beard with nvg is drip

[pearl pier]

is the 12 gauge slug leg meta a thing?

[spiral flicker]

Uh

[dire rock]

everything is a thing

[icy fable]

I almost shed a tear when I first head a scav cheeki breeki me, I was instantly back in pripyat

[pearl pier]

oh wow rip slugs can 2 shot leg pmcs

[spiral flicker]

Why would u take rip slugs when 45 ACP rip rounds exists

[pearl pier]

i thought that's flea restricted

[remote kettle]

yeah

[serene reef]

Fyi belts might be added soon

[remote kettle]

peacekeeper

[spiral flicker]

I wanna be tagilla because of 1x3 slots pockets

[teal trail]

.45 acp is weird when you can just be a based shotgun user

[serene reef]

this could be really fun

[teal trail]

Dick protec

[icy fable]

for lifting heavy loads, so you don't throw you back out?

[teal trail]

Evens out the weight

[icy fable]

yeah, irl having a belt connected to a 50-70L backpack makes the load 2x easier to carry, didn't remember that one

in the first pic it literally looks like on of those weightlifting belts

in the second one that logic is more visible

[violet crystal]

amen 🙏

[regal widget]

anyone tryna play im pretty new had it for a year but stoped playing after 2 months and now tryna get good

[pearl pier]

my pmc's panting even thought I'm at full health with no negative effects

[teal trail]

Face shield?

[karmic axle]

my guy just overweight

[pearl pier]

does the tagilla mask do that?

[teal trail]

Yea

Did you equip it while in raid?

[karmic axle]

drippy scav

[pearl pier]

yeah

speaking of which

i just got head eyesd through my tagilla mask

how the fuck?

[teal trail]

Any face shield aside from shattered mask does that

[pearl pier]

it wasn't shattered

and it was bp ammo

[teal trail]

7.62?

[pearl pier]

yeah

[teal trail]

Would’ve gone thru anything

why I never wear helmets, maximum a shattered mask

[woven fiber]

adar and a half

[bold kernel]

lmfao

that's the ugliest build i ever seen

if i see that gun i'll throw it away

[karmic axle]

whats with the small scope

fuckk

i died to raiders

[icy fable]

it's an interesting idea, but doesn't that leave you terribly vulnerable to small arms fire and scav weapons?

[teal trail]

If they hit you in the head ur dead anyways

[woven fiber]

lvl fps when using anything that magnifies

from 80 to 40

need a new gpu

[karmic axle]

oof ok

what u running rn?

[woven fiber]

just holosights 😄

[icy fable]

even the crappiest ammo? what about the protected zones? shattered mask only covers front

[teal trail]

How many times has helmet ricochet saved you

[woven fiber]

i had that build a while ago but just got it back from insurance

i made it when i was lvl 14 still

[karmic axle]

i meant ur GPU

[teal trail]

For me it’s not about the “chances” of something happening, why I don’t run the best ammo or shit like that

[icy fable]

1 or 2 times maybe, but that's only what it feels like, honestly I have no idea, but I was interested in the logic and how viable it actually is

because shattered mask is muuuuch cheaper than a helmet usually is

and I always like to take the logic apart, so I can decide for myself if I shouldn't try that as well

[teal trail]

99% of my labs runs this wipe are helmetless

[drowsy oasis]

t4 helms have saved me countless times

[pearl pier]

wait is the shattered mask worth it?

[teal trail]

30k max

[woven fiber]

1650 4gb

[icy fable]

yeah, i've seen them around 20-22k even

[pearl pier]

how much protection does it offer

[teal trail]

Doesn’t matter, high ricochet chance

[pearl pier]

so its like the condor?

[rain wing]

are helmets really that useless?

[icy fable]

?? which brand?? i'm running a 1650 as well and i've got much better fps. which cpu, also?

[teal trail]

Yes lmao

[rain wing]

the brand doesn't really matter tbf

[woven fiber]

gigabyte with i5-11400f

[karmic axle]

it does

[rain wing]

not a lot

[icy fable]

lol, of course it does, not all gpu's are created equally

[karmic axle]

still does

[spiral flicker]

Me with gtx 750 ti

[karmic axle]

good enough mans

[woven fiber]

thinking of buying 3050

350 eur rn

2x the performance

[rain wing]

3050 kinda poopy ngl

[spiral flicker]

True

[icy fable]

the cpu should be enough technically, although it has a low base clock rate, and intel's boost/turbo is horrible

[rain wing]

it is made to be a budget laptop gpu

you could go straight to 3060

[raw bridge]

3060 is a decent bang for ur buck gpu

[rain wing]

not sure how much it is rn though, I haven't checked recently

[woven fiber]

3060 starts from 470 eur 😄

[karmic axle]

me pushing my 1080ti to act like a 3060

[icy fable]

yeah, if possible, skip 3050 and go straight 3060, performance wise it's a better option

gain per buck

[raw bridge]

we back with the freak helmet

[karmic axle]

mega chad

[rain wing]

well 1080s are pretty jacked

[karmic axle]

indeed

my 1080ti is praying for its life rn

[icy fable]

also: to prove the point of "brand matters for gpus"... your 1650 4gb has 1710 MHz, i've pushed mine to 2200, though it usually sits at 2100MHz

[woven fiber]

i get black screen on +150 i think

dont remember

[icy fable]

but my greatest secret is my cpu+ram combo, which is overclocked to unbelievable amounts (so is the gpu, but it took less tweaking to get there)

the only thing I haven't got overclocked to stupid amounts are my case fans

I can run +250 clock and +600 mem

relatively stable

[woven fiber]

ive tried playing 4:3 and i still would but i need to check maps from time to time so the 10second screen switch when alt tabbing is cancer

[icy fable]

+235 / +450 is my daily

[woven fiber]

u use msi afterburner?

[orchid salmon]

Just having maps on a second screen, could be mobile phone or tablet works much better. Alt tabbing in Tarkov and standing still for 10-20 or longer seconds definetly leads to death.

[karmic axle]

my GPU cant even clock that high

[icy fable]

let's say yes

[karmic axle]

really?

i just lie down in a bush

[karmic axle]

just killed a pmc using this without anything else in factory

[icy fable]

now that's podracing 😄

[orchid salmon]

Ofcourse, just a matter of time before you will get shot while doing it, especially since bushes make sound.

[woven fiber]

i have an extinguisher ready

[icy fable]

question is how close you actually get there

[orchid salmon]

And it's easier to have both map + game up so u can look around and see if U can find the landmarks that are marked on the map too.

[woven fiber]

idk seems fine

[icy fable]

you'll hit power limit before getting 100% of those values

[woven fiber]

no buggyness

[icy fable]

1650's are limited to 75W usually

[karmic axle]

nowadays i only check maps if i need loot or stuff

i dont run maps i dont really know 😦

[woven fiber]

i learn extracts and run around to get a feel

now im learning loot spots

customs directors office is my go-to rn 😄

found 2 gpus already

[karmic axle]

2 gpus?

in big red?

[woven fiber]

yes

theres 3 pc blocks there

[karmic axle]

oh

havnt found one there yet

also does STM-9 have supressor?

[woven fiber]

linked search?

[karmic axle]

yeah

nothing

[orchid salmon]

most 9x19 supressors fit the stm-9. No integral or specific STM suppressors. gemtech fits too afaik.

[woven fiber]

but why use the stm tho 😄

[orchid salmon]

Maybe you haven't examined them? Items don't show in preset if you haven't examined the items. Sometimes for linked search to work you have to linked search the barrel not the gun itself btw.

[karmic axle]

ohhhhhh

usually i linked search the gun and it shows muzzle devices

but thanks

[low elbow]

i have a quick question

if my buddy buys me bullets from Yeager level 3 in game and i pay him with rubles when in raid is that against TOS?

[karmic axle]

why cant he just give u the ammo for free

is he really your buddy if he doesnt give u good ammo

[low elbow]

it's more of im giving it to him so he can afford to buy said ammo

where both pretty broke

[icy fable]

if you were exchanging real money, that would be an issue, what you're describing to me is a convoluted player-to-player trade

[raw bridge]

what ammo

[low elbow]

50 BMG

[woven fiber]

rate the fit

[rain wing]

well I'd say it should be fine(?)

[raw bridge]

2

[rain wing]

why do I see people use hjelm?

[woven fiber]

/2

[orchid salmon]

6/10 (free aacpc for someone that raid though)

[rain wing]

isn't it like t3?

[raw bridge]

fr lol

[woven fiber]

i got this one idek witch is better

[karmic axle]

wendys is better

but thats brown

means it sucks

black is drip

[rain wing]

black exfil > tan exfil

[karmic axle]

black everything > any other colour

[rain wing]

yes

[karmic axle]

das rite

[raw bridge]

got ma black fit on

cost a pretty penny

[icy fable]

@low elbow you should be fine

[rain wing]

where the alu splints vro

and hemostat

[karmic axle]

white mask

ew

[rain wing]

so his enemies can see him just before they die

[karmic axle]

oh thats 200 iq

good idea

[woven fiber]

ifak stops heavy bleed these splits good enough?

[karmic axle]

your sxcope tho

its TAN

[karmic axle]

your IFAK dura is gonna dissapear

[raw bridge]

that ifak got 2 heals

lmao

[rain wing]

your ifak is gna go away in like 2 heavy bleeds

yeah

lmfao

bring hemos

cheap as hell

you have flea already right?

[woven fiber]

oh it takes away 170 for a bleed lol

i thought it healed u for 170 or something

[rain wing]

also bring some form of painkillers

[icy fable]

yeah, with any medkit, that value is what it consumes from the durability

[low elbow]

cool

thanks

[rain wing]

and one more question

what's in the gun?

[woven fiber]

m855

best round i can get for it

others are locked

[raw bridge]

oof

[icy fable]

that could be an issue, indeed

[violet crystal]

delete the m4 then

[icy fable]

but I can't give an educated opinion, I don't use that caliber at all

[spiral flicker]

Omfg that 100 rounder hurts my eyes

[fair vault]

Anyone wanna run reserve?

[spiral flicker]

#pvp-lfg

[prime comet]

No y

U

[spiral flicker]

[karmic axle]

xd

9x919

9x19

[spiral flicker]

You can kill him even with hatchet

He have no armor

But he likes to give u one tap in thorax with PS 7.62x54R

[karmic axle]

heard his SVD

but idk where he is

[spiral flicker]

Welcome to sawmill

[icy fable]

don't worry, he'll find YOU

[spiral flicker]

He has armored guards tho. They can eat so much bullets

[spiral flicker]

True, shturman is fuckin rat

Look in bushes

[karmic axle]

im camping the tractor rn

or like above the tractor

wait actually it might have been a player SVD

i just heard it further away

[spiral flicker]

Run in middle of sawmill and u will find out

[karmic axle]

nvm

its sthruman

[spiral flicker]

[spiral flicker]

U dead?

[raw bridge]

thats what u get for camping

[spiral flicker]

Shturman is bitch

[karmic axle]

fuckkk

The worst thing you can hear in a beginner chat “It’s Shuturman” he commen for yo ass boy

[spiral flicker]

[karmic axle]

my scope was on him

😦

apprently only like 2 bullets hit

fire my whole 33 mag

[icy fable]

we have gathered here today to mourn the passing of @karmic axle

[spiral flicker]

[karmic axle]

damn im so bad..

no wonder i cant win players xd

[spiral flicker]

Shturman is harder then most of players

Imo

[raw bridge]

go labs hehe

[spiral flicker]

Why

To get KS-23'd ?

No thx

[rain wing]

wtf does shturmies svd even sound like?

[raw bridge]

[rain wing]

wtf does an svd sound like.

I don't rember

[glass zealot]

PEW PEW PEW

[nimble acorn]

POW

[icy fable]

GUNSHOT NOISE

[karmic axle]

its more like

fuck you timmies fuck you timmies

[lost sky]

What are the meta weapons/ammo people are using at like lvl 3 traders?

[grand flicker]

BOOM BOOM

[grand flicker]

BP gzh

[nimble acorn]

^

[rain wing]

thx

[spiral flicker]

That ammo I find on pmcs

[rain wing]

I will make sure to run away from any boom sounds

[lost sky]

Guess I should work on punisher part 5 then?

[grand flicker]

Um no, find it

[nimble acorn]

Literally got slapped with it last night by a level 4 lol

[lost sky]

Like farming raiders or like

[grand flicker]

Raiders or rogues

[lost sky]

I am a first wiper

[grand flicker]

Same

60 days in

[lost sky]

What do you do for yours miin?

[grand flicker]

I farm raiders on reserve

[lost sky]

Heard rogues arent noob friendly the map

Day time?

[grand flicker]

Lvl 30 isn’t noob?

[grand flicker]

Night

[lost sky]

Heard people say all first wipers are noob

[grand flicker]

Nah

[nimble acorn]

Military camp on woods, I find it regularly there, USEC camp…interchange can find it outside in the connex fenced areas.

[strong barn]

Thats about as true as saying all alpha players are pros
Most are complete shit in both spectrums 😂

[nimble acorn]

Just a few places

[lost sky]

[grand flicker]

Good ammo is easy to find

[nimble acorn]

I need to actually make some money so I don’t have to find ammo in raids. I’ll be on tonight if you need assistance or just a friend to play with🤘🏽

[remote kettle]

loud

[grand flicker]

Wrong.

[remote kettle]

3 loud bangs in decently quick succession on woods = 90% shturman

[grand flicker]

It goes BOOM BOOM

[karmic axle]

find what?

[rain wing]

oh yeah, my friend mentioned something about him firing off some rounds at the start of the raid

is that true?

[karmic axle]

no

[grand flicker]

No

[karmic axle]

usually theres always players going sawmill

flechette be like

and i still died

[remote birch]

went on a scav run on customs with a mate,
we met 2 Timmy PMC's who we sneaked up on
a third one was camping underneath the train.
so he magdumped me and didnt even hit me.
blasted him with my PP19 and had to reload.
we were both reloading at that time and he starts going voip with "Yo stop, how about" Dead
My bud just straight up killed him

[marsh wraith]

hi, someone for play? i am a new player, i speak spanish e.e but i can try english

[strong barn]

Bully!

[violet crystal]

ola amigo guey???

[remote birch]

i laughed tears. he just got rekt mid-sentence

[marsh wraith]

👁️ 👄 👁️

[karmic axle]

wait MMAC is so cheap

[strong barn]

This is an english discord mate...just dm him or the mods are gunna come rocking around here😒

[karmic axle]

from ragman

[violet crystal]

it was a joke i dont know spanish

[strong barn]

<3

[violet crystal]

chilll

[marsh wraith]

yeah is just a joke, dont worry

:D

[strong barn]

Only a friendly heads up 🤷

[violet crystal]

since its your 6th wipe can you send an ss of your stash? i want to see how much better i have to be and a reason to cry ty

[knotty palm]

does rep matter for the scav case?

[violet crystal]

yup

[strong barn]

I mean its gunna take more than one SS to include the myriad of bullshit in my stash 😂

[sterile minnow]

Just the timer

[knotty palm]

whats the time difference between worst and best karma?

[violet crystal]

im waiting big man

[strong barn]

sure one sec

[sterile minnow]

He shoots 3 warning shots if he he spots a player nearby

You'll hear them from a good distance

[remote kettle]

Quite a few hours of cooldowns. Better kits when you spawn, faster scav case, passive bosses

[remote kettle]

When he first spots a PMC he shoots warning shots at them, unless the pmc engaged him first, then he shoots on sight

[potent crater]

whats it for tho??

[violet crystal]

so hes a pacifist?

to some extent

[potent crater]

with max intel center on max scav rep you get your scav back every 5 minutes I never was a VERY bad scav so idk about bad scavs but I know it will get very bad

[sterile minnow]

Far from it

[strong barn]

Repping 5:05 scav timer right now :)
Infinite money printing machine right there

[sterile minnow]

Hes just being Nice about it

[violet crystal]

woooooow, like that new boss that likes to blow off your limbs before shooting your thorax

[knotty palm]

is scaving even worth it, you don't level up your pmc

[potent crater]

yah

[sterile minnow]

It's for money, nothing else

[potent crater]

if you are down bad on money or enjoy it yes

but if you are like 100 million ruble PVP chad then no, not really if you dont have fun scavving

[sterile minnow]

This is gonna be a fun boss tbh

[rain wing]

oh he warns pmcs first?

[sterile minnow]

Yeah

[strong barn]

I have fun, its not about leveling your PMC at a certain point
IF you kill a PMC as a scav you gain karma, making the car extract cheaper for you as a PMC among some other stuff

Its part of the game so I wanted to max it out 🤷
I like the gameplay of like 3-5 random scavs all meet up and non of us know whos gunna shoot; maybe we're all friend or it goes to shit
its a good time 😂 different from pmc raids

[rain wing]

lol I thought he'd just killa you

[sterile minnow]

If his guards see you aswell, they will kos

[spiral flicker]

I like when I kill pmc as scav

[sterile minnow]

Woods?

[spiral flicker]

Lh

[sterile minnow]

That m4

[spiral flicker]

Rogue

[sterile minnow]

Ah fuck, has big mag
Same one spawns at woods, just with 30rounder

Good pickup

[spiral flicker]

I got lucky because I spawned with 3 10rounders full of bp

7.62

[sterile minnow]

Certainly helps

[spiral flicker]

I was chonky af

70kg

[karmic axle]

omg

[sterile minnow]

Made hella money thats for sure

[karmic axle]

met 4 friendly PMCs on reserve

[spiral flicker]

Kill them. Uh what?

[karmic axle]

finally able to get

[sterile minnow]

No remorse

[karmic axle]

scav lands

ngl i just wanted the karma but they gave me raider loot so

[sterile minnow]

The fuck, people are being Nice in eft? We playing the same game??

[spiral flicker]

Friendly pmc? Are u from USA?

[karmic axle]

im meeting alot of

no im in asia

[sterile minnow]

That explains it

[karmic axle]

they mostly speak chinese and they're nice if u talk to them

they tend to kill english speakers xd

[spiral flicker]

Bro Europe is full of idiots

Like me

[frail pewter]

lies - he does do 3 shots in a row with SVD early in the raid, but he does NOT do warning shots. almost every time I have ever run into him he hits me with his first shot (usually before I even know he is there).

[sterile minnow]

Goes for NA and EU aswell
Cant be friends ingame

[sterile minnow]

He does shoot warning shots lmao

[karmic axle]

he shoots "warning shots" if you're moving

if not you're asking for it

[frail pewter]

he almost never shoots near me without hitting me

[spiral flicker]

I met 2 guys nearby newgas and killed one. The second one was like, bro don't kill me I have nothing so I was like yea run bro, run. And i saw that fuckin mutant on his back from dorms marked. I killed him

[frail pewter]

even when I don't even know he is there, haven't shot at him

[spiral flicker]

[orchid salmon]

If you stand still anywhere near where Stuhrman and his guards can spawn that's basically asking to get shot, even by normal scavs to be fair

[frail pewter]

right

what does that have to do with warning shots

I'm saying he has never given me warning shots

[sterile minnow]

Thats..warning shots

[orchid salmon]

It has to do with this

[frail pewter]

warning shots are supposed to hit you?

[sterile minnow]

Man

[frail pewter]

he doesn't miss me and then hit me

he just hits me with his first shots

I'm so confused

[hardy bear]

anyone recommend a gun build for punisher part 1 ?

[sterile minnow]

If you aggro him, he shoots 3 warning shots
After that youre free game

[orchid salmon]

If you are too close he'll just straight up shoot you anyway

[frail pewter]

ok, that's never happened to me then

[sterile minnow]

Fairly sure his guards will kos either way

[spiral flicker]

Akm, some sight, but pad some grip ezpz

[sterile minnow]

Might not have been the first to aggro
Or his guards got you, they tend to run SVDs aswell

[spiral flicker]

My thorax don't like his 7.62x54R ps ammo

[frail pewter]

I have been killed by his guards a few times with SVD, but more often by the man himself

[sterile minnow]

Play night and he'll wiggle at you

[orchid salmon]

Pretty sure it has to do with the distance aswell if he fires warning shots or not, within x or y m pretty sure he will just KoS too. That's why I said standing still anywhere near his spawns is a death trap and no go practise.

[sterile minnow]

Funniest shit

[frail pewter]

do you have an idea of how far that is?

is it like 100m>

[spiral flicker]

Wut?

[sterile minnow]

Dufflebag mountain is far enough away

But idk how far that is in meters

[orchid salmon]

I've not measured it, so maybe someone who plays more woods than I do knows this better but idk, 100 150 200 m ?

[frail pewter]

I have been shot by him from there, without having shot at anyone

[sterile minnow]

Long story short, I went mill at night, saw sthurboy and he wiggled at me

[karmic axle]

why raider ammo so bad?

[sterile minnow]

Raiders doesnt automatically mean good shit

[whole thistle]

The only time they spawn with good ammo is when they have 5.45

[frail pewter]

I went up sniper rock and he one tapped me, before I had even shot at anything

[karmic axle]

ive got them with ap 6.3 before

idk

[spiral flicker]

From where to where?

[serene reef]

Rogue bosses have belts around them, we might see that this patch. Would be fun

[karmic axle]

furthest i ever got shot by him was while he was at tractor and i was across the sawmill on the road

[sterile minnow]

The yt sthurman guide is pretty good

[karmic axle]

like right above the keycard hut

[orchid salmon]

Not talking about a specific range, we're talking about at what range Stuhrman shoots warning shots and at what range / area he starts shooting on target

maybe it's not even a specific range but an area, I honestly don't know I'm just assuming.

[sterile minnow]

Cant remember exactly what he said but if he can see you, youre most likely gonna get warned/shot

[spiral flicker]

He started shooting me in my arms at like 150 meters

[karmic axle]

basically his range is really far and if u hear svd shots just take cover

[icy fable]

if a shot only wounds you, it counts as a warning

[frail pewter]

oh well, I haven't been warned by him before. guess I'll keep that in mind

[frail pewter]

lol

[karmic axle]

he missed the warning shot so it hit u

xd
