[olive bough]

Fair

[crimson wharf]

what armor should i be wearing for setup?

[olive bough]

But I’m stupid and I miss lots of quiet noises

[quartz iron]

I love watching max scav karma players lead other player scavs into scav bosses

[crimson wharf]

and also what floor is the easiest to hold on dorms?

[merry swift]

I mostly went with gzhels and korunds when I was doing it

[crimson wharf]

gzhels with a scav vest and ushanka?

[merry swift]

Yea

[olive bough]

I usually stick to 2nd or 3rd on 3 story

[merry swift]

Also I've found the mp-155 to be way better than the 153 just because of barrel length alone

[crimson wharf]

really?

[merry swift]

the 153 with a silencer is a horrendous gun to go up staircases with

it's way too long

[crimson wharf]

oh, 153 is the longer one right?

[merry swift]

They cost about the same so that doesn't matter

[merry swift]

Yea the default barrel is very long

[crimson wharf]

makes sense

[merry swift]

You'll notice when you go up stairs

The gun will move up quite abit

and prevent you from shooting

155 hasn't got that issue nearly as much

[hazy veldt]

155 barrel is 510mm, mp153 stock is like 750mm? 😄

[merry swift]

Yea that sounds about right

It's enormous

[hazy veldt]

155 suffers from low moa due to this though, so good for blasting people at point blank, not so great for those 150m ftx headshots

[crimson wharf]

this thing any good?

oh shit its a capture not a picture lol

but anyways yeah

is it good?

[olive bough]

Almost meta I think

Not sure tho

Pretty good

[merry swift]

Its okay but could be better. It's got the BIS suppressor but you can do work on stock and foregrip and make it perform significantly better

[crimson wharf]

and all it took was one round of AP-M

[olive bough]

AP-M most underrated round

[crimson wharf]

true that

[merry swift]

I think if you swap out the ash-12 foregrip for something better you'll already see a good change

I'm not actually sure how much you can do on the stock tbh. Does the scar-l take buffer tube adapters?

[olive bough]

I don’t think so

Lemme check

Yeah no

[crimson wharf]

people are really selling annihilators for 150k rn

how much do they actually go for?

[olive bough]

There is a barter with meka 3

[kindred grotto]

SHOULD I TAKE RSASS OR LONE STAR

[olive bough]

Mecha*

[olive bough]

RSASS

[kindred grotto]

thanks

[crimson wharf]

yeah, but i have one FIR

idk how much to sell for though

[olive bough]

Uh 1 TP200 TNT for that

Oh

Uh not sure

Lemme check tarkov market

[crimson wharf]

it says like 20k

but people are selling theirs for like 100k

[olive bough]

Yeah watch it for like 10 min and see if it stabilises

[crimson wharf]

but there are only 3 offers up

[olive bough]

If there’s only 3 offers wait like 5 minutes, if it starts dropping don’t sell, if it remains somewhat constant/no offers do put yours

[merry swift]

Its required for a gunsmith task, that's why they go for so much

[crimson wharf]

ohhh okay

[olive bough]

I once managed to sell an mlok rail for like 45k

[crimson wharf]

i wouldnt mind selling for like 65k

[merry swift]

I sold a qdc suppressor for 900k earlier this wipe

People are nuts

[olive bough]

That’s profit lmao

[merry swift]

Yea rogues can spawn with them on their SR-25's

Keep an eye out if you're farming rogues

[olive bough]

Actually a thing people didnt believe was when I disassembled a lone star and sold all parts for a total of 350k

There are few things which have basically no offers and people are just gonna buy it no matter what

[merry swift]

Damn

I don't even know why people run lone stars

[olive bough]

They’re decent ig

Basically no recoil

[violet furnace]

Suppressor is 80-100k, stock is like 25

[olive bough]

It’s like having a mix between an adar and m4 but it’s actually manageable

[crimson wharf]

i like the ADAR though

ADAR is a really fun gun to use

[olive bough]

I sold charging handle and a rail for 40k each on it lmao

[merry swift]

The rof is atrocious tho it's gotta be a dmr type weapon

[olive bough]

Adar is useless imo, might as well run m4 then and tap on long distances

[crimson wharf]

what is the cost difference?

[violet furnace]

For lone Star u need scope, foregrip and maybe laser. That's all. For Adar u need a lot more

[dull tapir]

If you ever get bored playing this game, do runs with only your melee and see how much gear / PMC kills you can get

[olive bough]

For the lowers like 15k

[dull tapir]

Shit is fun af

[merry swift]

Adar used to be my favourite sniper but then they merked 556 ammo 😦

[olive bough]

Rip 5.56. gone, but not forgotten because everyone talks shit about it

[merry swift]

I think the ammo itself is still fine at like short/medium range

But it's not as good for sniping

[olive bough]

Yeah definitely

[dull tapir]

5.56 works decently well actually, ran m4s basically all day in labs

[olive bough]

No reason not to use 308 nowdays

[dull tapir]

If you try to wallbang people it won't do anything

[merry swift]

wallbanging people doesn't do anything period tbh

It's bugged

[dull tapir]

Yea

[crimson wharf]

7.62x39 and 7.62x51 are the two meta rounds this wipe

mainly 51

[merry swift]

I think it's okay

I prefer it to laserbeam HK's at least

[dull tapir]

Honestly It would be fun to see 1 wipe without flea market

Then again people would start trading items even more

[merry swift]

Be a fun experiment sure

Would work for me as I'm a DMR player anyways

[dull tapir]

Remove every weapon mod for a wipe so you can only use stock weapons

[violet furnace]

Flea market will be only trading with player i think

[merry swift]

Letsgooooooo

[sleek briar]

Day 13 of hunting Rashala....still no sight of him 🙃

[merry swift]

Find me with my stock rfb pinging at people

[dull tapir]

Doing zero to hero whatever you want to call it made me realize how easily you can kill people with just stock scav weapons

It's so fun

[merry swift]

I like to do scav runs to fight PMCs

[violet furnace]

Stock Sr, lone Star, Adar, p90, 556 mdr, shotguns

[merry swift]

It's pretty good

Maps like lighthouse you spawn in mere minutes after the PMCs anyways

[dull tapir]

I can already imagine what labs would be like with everyone using stock guns

[merry swift]

😄

ks23 back once again

[dull tapir]

That gun is broken

I still have clips of me onetapping people last wipe with it

They also need to fix quick peeking

You are sometimes literally invisible to the enemy

[quartz iron]

average bp players loot

[merry swift]

wearing a 0/41 korund with a perfectly fine gzhel in your backpack

Brave man

[quartz iron]

I wiped the entire lobby its fineeeeeee

[plush willow]

You’ve probably killed me atleast like 39 times

[quartz iron]

and it had like 10/41 it was the scav at the end that just 360 no scoped me bro

[prime comet]

Until buckshot scav blacks your stomach and you die of exhaustion

[quartz iron]

kekw, i was already dying because of energy

[prime comet]

Literally

[quartz iron]

green stimmy be keeping me alive

[prime comet]

And one buckshot you would’ve probably been fucked

With a blacked stomach anyway

[quartz iron]

nah green stimmy ftw

Nothing got blacked out luckily

because these guys are trash kekw

homie had m855a1 mags but his gun had m855 in it kekw

scav mag

[prime comet]

No matter who I fight

They’ll black my stomach

Idk why

[quartz iron]

and his headphones inverted too, pushed his right this dude prefiring the doorway on his left lmfao

[prime comet]

It’s a curse

[quartz iron]

only time I have anything blacked out is to leg meta dudes

[merry swift]

Blessed

[quartz iron]

its fine he didnt hit a shot anyways

not like m855a1 wouldve helped him against bp

[merry swift]

I lose my arms all the time. My pmc is noodle man

[quartz iron]

but in seriousness strength needs to be reworked

cant carry even my own shit half the time lmao

[dull tapir]

Perception needs to be removed from the game

[merry swift]

I can get behind that

I'm not a huge fan of the skill system in general but that one specifically is really troublesome

[quartz iron]

it does but these guys were way above my lvl they were 50+ and I still killed em

patience my child

wins fights

not perception chads

[merry swift]

Sound is less of a thing when you're running a squad

You hear steps all the time

[olive bough]

You become the sound

[quartz iron]

nah dude I straight up had to wait 8 mins to kill these guys

[dull tapir]

With max perception you will hear more with an altyn on than someone without a headset

Very broken

[merry swift]

Yea agreed and it makes no sense either

[quartz iron]

they were playing like pussies listening to sound and stopping every min for like 50 secs

[merry swift]

Like strength and endurance kinda make sense but perception is like

Aye you searched a bunch of shit your hearing is magically enhanced

[quartz iron]

if I moved an inch that guy would be tony stark calculating exactly where I was lmao

[olive bough]

The team was doing triangulations with sounds to identify your exact coordinates in the 3 dimentions

[dull tapir]

Perception also confuses tf out of me sometimes due to how far I can hear

And I dont even have it maxed yet

[quartz iron]

I would like to see a wipe without perception but itd feel like wipe days often do youll both see each other way before you hear each other kekw

[smoky moth]

what does this mean anyway

[next adder]

the white dot comes earlier

further away

pretty much

[misty ginkgo]

That white dot is gonna show up further away from the loot

I hate it

[crimson wharf]

kinda useless

[zinc marlin]

that white dot that you see when you lootsomething will appear if there is loot nearby

[smoky moth]

ahhh

[crimson wharf]

is there a max range that IR scopes can see?

[next adder]

yes

if you mean thermals

[orchid salmon]

reap-ir is like 250m ~ ish sighting range through the scope.

[crimson wharf]

Infrared

what about FLIR?

[next adder]

about the same

250 down hill or up hill 230 flat

[crimson wharf]

seems legit

time to get shooter 8 with a flir

[merry swift]

If you're real desparate coolarrow you can try to buy a scav SVD, rush sawmill and fire it like ol shturmy would do and watch players flock to the mill

Chuck the svd in a bush and find a good spot

[crimson wharf]

that actually sounds like it would work

[next adder]

i did shooter 8 with holding spawns

[merry swift]

Depends on the type of players that are in your lobby

[next adder]

then going to the spots where people like to loot

[merry swift]

Some people will rush towards shturmy but it also scares some off

[next adder]

the town, sawmill and the scav camp

[quiet rain]

nah, level up 51 levels of a skill that doesn't even level up like endurance or strength, we'll see about it

attention is the most broken skill for me

[quartz iron]

wtf is broken about attention

bro its just a looting skill?

that shit is nowhere compared to perception

lmfao one is a advantage in game and another is just a qol

[quiet rain]

qol: aka instant looting a container with a 50% chance each time ?

[quartz iron]

so what? Its not like it takes a day to max that skill

[merry swift]

He's not wrong, that skill is really good

But it doesn't give you an edge over other players like perception does

Which is what most people think is broken

[quartz iron]

I love the attention skill

so I dont have to go through endless looting forever

but if im playing more than other people then atleast make the common sense of allowing me to loot faster

[smoky moth]

how the fuck do people level attention to 51

that looks impossible af unless you loot every container you see

[quartz iron]

definitely not fast

which is why its completely fine

[orchid salmon]

You definetly need to search a LOT of containers to max attention.

[misty ginkgo]

Play the game a lot - and you’ll eventually get there.

[quartz iron]

I just rekd 3 geared pmcs with mosin all caughing n shit and then had the funniest interaction on voip with them because I forgot to bring ammo lol

[misty ginkgo]

Did someone ever do the maths?

Or is it a random amount every time?

[orchid salmon]

I don't think someone did the math in that way. To give an example... One of my teammates got max search and attention a few days ago, lvl 59 1900 raids, 1.8m xp from looting.

[smoky moth]

this is ~ 4 months of play time

[misty ginkgo]

That’s a shit ton of looting

[orchid salmon]

Exactly 😉

[quartz iron]

imo it should be lowered a lil

[smoky moth]

endurance is the easiest of all skills to level up

because it's the first skill i got elite on

🗿

didn't even waste time to grind the skill

[quartz iron]

its the first skill almost every1 gets elite

[smoky moth]

i just did my stuff

[merry swift]

Idk if they need to lower the requirements for search etc

Like It's mostly a qol thing for yourself

[dusky geyser]

instasearch is stupid tho

[quartz iron]

yeah but lvl 60 with 1900 raids thats asking for a bit too much

[merry swift]

The ones that they should take a look at are the ones that give real advantages over other players in pvp

[orchid salmon]

I got similair amount of raids, higher level and I'm at like ~43 attention/search

It really depends how much you loot in raids.

[merry swift]

Isn't search the one you get from touching bodies?

[smoky moth]

idk why the 50% even exist, you can just spam click the search button

[quartz iron]

yeah you usually only see streamers who play the game for a living get that skill maxed

[orchid salmon]

Yes

[quartz iron]

dude that gives no advantages

its just faster

[merry swift]

I really try to make a habit out of touching scav bodies now. It does really add up

[quartz iron]

if you loot so much irl ofcourse youre gonna know where to commonly look like tf

[orchid salmon]

You mean, being able to loot a PMC within 3 seconds doesn't give any advantages? 😛

[merry swift]

Eh you gotta kill em first

[orchid salmon]

I do too yes.

[merry swift]

[smoky moth]

also, does the skill levels actually change anything before you get elite

[orchid salmon]

[merry swift]

I was picturing seiko rummaging through his drawers for 2 hours every day to level up his irl looting

[smoky moth]

i barely seen the search time change when im searching containers

[merry swift]

But he replied to the wrong message

[quartz iron]

you gotta kill em first and on top of that at that point if you have max attention skill you probably have enough money to literally just leave the pmc behind anyways

[orchid salmon]

Increases looting speed
Increases examine speed

[quartz iron]

makes sense

ps rounds the new shrap 10 rounds

[orchid salmon]

Nobody leaves PMC bodies behind even when they have 1B roubles 😛

[smoky moth]

i feel like every level you advance it's just 1 millisecond

[orchid salmon]

or less 😛

[quartz iron]

yeah but you could do that at that point and youre probably just playing for fun because its more or less the end of the wipe

yeah just end wipe with 80mil roubles that seems smart

[merry swift]

You grab their shit because you deserve it, not because you need it

[orchid salmon]

I'm just pointing out that it's actually pretty strong because you spend so much less time on bodies and looting containers. More time to look around, fight and play. I can loot my teammates when they die before the enemy is even close.

[merry swift]

I only leave bodies if I killed em way out in the open

Like the other day I shot a guy on the escalators towards techlight. That man will remain unlooted for sure

[orchid salmon]

That's just making a scav happy 😛

[quartz iron]

yeah but what does that have to do in regards to attention

yeah you can but you dont really need it which makes the skil practically useless

[merry swift]

I'm okay with it 😄 Beats having to check 20 angles for his teammates

[quartz iron]

since you dont even need to do it anymore

[orchid salmon]

I'm not sure why you are downtalking elite search - attention skill so much. It's super convenient.

[quartz iron]

wow you can have a max attention skill for looting when it serves you no purpose apart from just saving time if youre streaming ig so your viewers dont have to just watch looting half the time.

[merry swift]

Eh

[orchid salmon]

Lol

[merry swift]

Do you enjoy waiting for your guy to turn all the grey boxes into items?

I don't.

[orchid salmon]

Okay I get it now you're just based. Nice factual based conversation.

[quartz iron]

theres no way you have max attention skill and ur broke lmao

[merry swift]

Elite makes that shit faster

[quartz iron]

me neither

[merry swift]

My point is that you dont magically stop taking peoples gear when you're rich

It's what you're there for, you beat em in pvp so now you get to take their shit

[quartz iron]

yeah but that was not the topic of my conversation

it was in regards to attention skill

specifically the elite lvl

[orchid salmon]

You made the argument that you would be so rich at that point u could leave the bodies behind

But in real tarkov nobody leaves bodies behind, it's therefor not a argument that is usable in terms of how "strong" it is in actual raids.

[quartz iron]

yeah which makes the elite skill pointless?

[merry swift]

^yea that's what I replied to

[quartz iron]

because it serves you no purpose apart from saving time youll never need that gear at that point

in regards to "you think insta looting a pmc isnt broken"

[orchid salmon]

But it's not about the gear. It's about the speed and time.

[quartz iron]

youve killed so many people if it was in real life youd probably get a knack for knowing where to look

since everyone wants to compare every arguement to realism

[orchid salmon]

I refrain from calling anything broken. It certainly gives advantages. That's what I said. And it's based on having had max attention / search before and actual raids, no "theoretical" talk

[quartz iron]

it has no need to get nerfed

because theres not alot of players that possess that skill elite

ofcourse its getting a skill maxed ofcourse its going to have advantages tf

[orchid salmon]

I don't think it needs to be nerfed / easier to obtain it.

I don't get why you are defending your point so much. But this leads to nowhere. I'm going to get some lunch!

[violet furnace]

Sus amogus

[rain wing]

do rogues have different pathing at night time?

[forest pond]

Rogues are just fked rn

[rain wing]

so they behave the same way?

[orchid salmon]

They changed the A.I. last patch

[rain wing]

just less range

[forest pond]

They are working better together

[rain wing]

how so?

oh

wait when was the patch again?

[forest pond]

I did lighthouse quick runs

Now i cant loot the rogue qnymore

Anymore

[crimson wharf]

where is a good place to hang out over by outskirts?

[rain wing]

^

I forgor

💀

[forest pond]

Like a week ago

Maybe 2

[violet furnace]

With revolvers I think

They changed

[orchid salmon]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/news/id/232?lang=en

[rain wing]

ok I just wanted to check if the route I was checking on lh was safe now

[merry swift]

I like the rock on the east side of the road or just over the ridge on the southern side near the mines

[rain wing]

cause I just ran it like

19th?

and it was

"fine"

[merry swift]

And just listen out for shots to scavs and reposition accordingly when you hear em

[forest pond]

Wich route you walking?

[rain wing]

rengawr one

[crimson wharf]

so close to the extract?

[rain wing]

left side compound

snipe the rogues

run in

[merry swift]

Both these spots cover the approach from the water where there are no scavs so you can hear/see anyone who wants to extract

[rain wing]

loot

extract

[merry swift]

Yea for sure you dont want people to sneak behind you from the water side

[crimson wharf]

could you show me on a map?

[crimson wharf]

and so i'd just be watching water side, since the scavs would shoot at anyone else?

[merry swift]

Rogues didnt change much. The only big change I feel is that the gunners and rooftop guys will now wander over to your side way more often if you're killing other rogues

I changed my route to approach from the mountains and get the rooftop rogues first and it works like a charm

[forest pond]

Its just the ones from the middle

[merry swift]

Yep.

[forest pond]

They shoot me when i try to loot the all to the left in the little tower

[merry swift]

Yea don't loot that guy

[crimson wharf]

alright thanks

[merry swift]

It's not worth to loot him

[forest pond]

First it was

[merry swift]

I ignore that side alltogether when I do my rogue route (I kill him from the east for XP tho)

[forest pond]

Like before the patch it was decent to loot

[merry swift]

Patch didn't change anything

That side was always in range of helicopter rogues and east

I also had a rogue push past the container briefly on northeast which I think is new

But he literally ran up and turned around immediately so might've been a one-off

[forest pond]

Ive ran it 50x no problem

[rain wing]

man these rogues feel like they aggro further

[forest pond]

After patch

Yes they do

[rain wing]

I'm trying to snipe the rogue infront and I'm getting beamed from across the compound

[prime comet]

Just go night time

[rain wing]

yeah I should do that

[prime comet]

Trust me even with the new ai

They’re dumb at night

Like I managed to lay down in the middle of the road and tap all 4 that come out of the back warehouse

Without trying

[rain wing]

should I bother with night vision?

[prime comet]

@shell kindle and @spiral flicker are my witnesses

I would, for the distance shots

But it’s all depending on the moon/rain imo

[quartz iron]

i swear to god man jaeger tasks piss me off every wipe

mf has the most annoying tasks

how about I break ur fat fkn legs and kill u for the quest

[topaz violet]

man i know everyone says 5.45 isnt that good but i swear 5.45 guns are the only ones i pop off with...

[rain wing]

also wait, this might sound a bit stupid, but why does rengawr say at this part https://youtu.be/2urdmxHKaxk?t=514

that you need to kill the rogue up in front?

will he run around the side and kill you?

if you go up the tower

[merry swift]

Take the eastern route it's easier

[rain wing]

what's the eastern route?

I'm a bear as well

[merry swift]

DM'd you

[merry swift]

He can just leave his gun and shoot you from where he's standing

[rain wing]

ohh

[merry swift]

Or run up

But I don't like that route

[rain wing]

I'll try it one more time and see if it'll work

if not then I'll try yours

[merry swift]

You can run that route if you want more gold spawns

The route I DMed you has more and faster access to rogues

[rain wing]

yeah I'm doing it for more gold spawns rather than the kills

[merry swift]

That's fair

[rain wing]

my main problem is those fuckers on the roof

[merry swift]

I feel like my route exposes you a lot less as well, there are a lot of gunners who can reach into the middle of the compound

[rain wing]

maybe I can try snipe them first

[rain wing]

yeah

I get shot from the gunners all the way on the other side of the compound

[merry swift]

Yea happens for sure

[rain wing]

on the roof of warehouse 2 and 3

[merry swift]

If you take the eastern approach, all the rogues are on your left hand

[rain wing]

I'll see if I can run up to warehouse 1 and kill them from there

[merry swift]

So there's only 1 side to worry about

And there's only 1 roof gunner who can reach you and he's cheeseable through the door

[rain wing]

right

ohhh on the rengawr video the gunners are dead already

in*

[merry swift]

Yea I watched a few videos

I think rengawr, pestily and...trey?

[rigid wind]

Do people actually use nightvision sights?

[merry swift]

But I still prefer the mountain approach this patch, it's almost required to take out both roof gunners on eastern building now that they'll shoot you in the side when you're leaning from containers

With the previous patch they were more stationary so you can just ignore them like they do in most of these videos

[merry swift]

Yea why wouldn't they

[quartz iron]

ive spent over 700k tryna kill 1 guy in office

when I have th best position absolutely nobody comes to office

[rigid wind]

its so easy to kill people in office tho

[quartz iron]

when they get to the office area

and b its acutally not as u have no physical advantages you can take

unless you have nades

which theres is no reason for me to bring because then theyll just run out of office and I cant do task

[merry swift]

You can hold pretty tight angles on the hallway tbh

[quartz iron]

again read what I SAID

[orchid salmon]

I don't think so. NVG's (goggles) yes but the actual sights? Nah.

[quartz iron]

when I get a good position there is nobody for straight up 7 mins

[rigid wind]

yeah thats what i thought cause 1 flashlight would fuck you up if you only have 1 sight

[rigid wind]

wack

office super ez just get a nade

[quartz iron]

ive done like over 20 raids now

[orchid salmon]

They are pretty bad in general. I don't think I've ever killed someone using that sight on purpose except for <10 new players during day time lol

[quartz iron]

dude you dont get the point

wtf is the point of the nade if he runs out of office

[merry swift]

That JUICY -recoil tho

[orchid salmon]

lol

[quartz iron]

you ever done a jager task in your life?

[rigid wind]

lmao i was completely blind in a fight

[rigid wind]

you take the nades with 5 second timers or smthn

[merry swift]

My b btw I read too quickly and thought you meant NVGs

[orchid salmon]

Yes, All of them like 5 times, what's your point ?

[quartz iron]

I could but its not like offices are such long hallways where itll detonate as it hits him

[merry swift]

Local angry man takes to discord to vent

[rigid wind]

lmao jaeger sux

i still got jaeger 1

[merry swift]

Poor jaeger

All he wants is for you to break bones and kill people yet he receives all the flak

[rigid wind]

fat bastard wants me to feed him

[quartz iron]

he does

i did it finally all I had to do was kill a blackjack backpack enjoyer with a flechette to the face

[serene reef]

idk jeager tasks are a fun alternative to everything else

disagreeing opinions go into the "skill issue" bin

but honestly now-

there are many ways to play the game

[scarlet garden]

Yo guys I got a really quick question, am I able to use this with this helmet?

[serene reef]

jeager just tries to teach you heavy combat doesnt he?

[quartz iron]

dude just casually had 762 bp in his pocket lmfao

[serene reef]

i mean some of the tasks are bs, like kill 3 guys in woods in 1 raid

with the bolty

but you dont really need to do all the tasks to get him to ll4

those are more so kappa tasks

[serene reef]

maybe he found a gpu

[quartz iron]

theyre still anoying to do

[serene reef]

or 3

[merry swift]

I don't mind tarkov shooter 8. I mind pest control and the reshala golden TT task

[serene reef]

have you seen the

kill 12 pmcs in x?

like you gotta camp pier on shoreline

[merry swift]

Fucking reshala and his tendency to leave his TT at home when he comes into my raids

[serene reef]

for days

[quartz iron]

maybe

[orchid salmon]

That one is terrible, but not required for Kappa / Collector anyway so meh, just if you are really bored or want the Russian Army Armband 😉

[quartz iron]

now he can have fun putting it in his bitcoi nfarm

[merry swift]

Ye I got that one right now. I was like scav base on woods: doable if I wanted to pitch a tent. Fortress on customs: not a problem. Pier: zzzzzzzz

Then again I get what they're tryna do. They need to make these late-lategame quests hard and time consuming because all the powergamers breeze through regular tasks

[prime comet]

Man I cba to do jaeger tasks

But I’m like 0.12 rep from jaeger 3

[merry swift]

That's only like 8 tasks

[quiet rain]

"only"

[orchid salmon]

Agreed. But Pier .... 😛

[left summit]

are these that expensive bcs of M995 ammo ?

[merry swift]

Yea I know dude. I went there like 3 times for shib and I saw like 1 dude in total

The saddest thing

[orchid salmon]

Yeah they are a little bit uncommon to find and needed for the M995 and red gunpoweder craft.

[left summit]

i have 6 i think i just sell them

[orchid salmon]

You need 5 FIR for Regulated Materials if you haven't done that quest yet.

[rain wing]

this is what I have so far

should I go in to train station?

lighthouse btw

I have northern checkpoint

shd I risk it and go in or just get out now

10 minutes left

[left summit]

Ik but im not very focused on tasks rn its my first wipe i almost have max hideout so next wipe i gone focus more on tasks

[rain wing]

actually I'll just gtfo

[orchid salmon]

In that case just sell 😄

[karmic axle]

whats in the new update?

[merry swift]

Train station only has regular scavs but the loot is also not super stellar compared to the rest of the map

Also there are a few sightlines from northern roof guys into train station

[rigid wind]

what is the biggest rig

[merry swift]

mppv or belt a+b

dont remember which one

both are huge

[serene reef]

mppv iirc

[rigid wind]

a+b has 25

[merry swift]

osprey is really big too

[rigid wind]

mppv has more 2 slots tho

[karmic axle]

But we all know Blackrock has the most drip

therefore blackrock is the best rig

[serene reef]

+belt has only 6 1x2s

[merry swift]

Maybe osprey has more slots i dont recall

It's enormous

[serene reef]

24/25

[wispy marten]

LBT and MPPV are the most efficient space wise

Osprey and A18 if you want amoured

[serene reef]

mppv is pog cause its mostly 1x2s

perfect for docs cases etc

[dusky quartz]

When I "filter by item" and I have the trader level and everything but the item is still locked, why is this?

[quiet rain]

@rain wing train station is secret niche for loot

only lh mains know that

[rain wing]

meaning?

[wispy marten]

What item?

[merry swift]

I mean its some tech spawns and hidden caches, not really spectacular. There's like 1 gold spawn? 2?

[quiet rain]

wym by gold

[merry swift]

high value spawn

[quiet rain]

yeah

more like 5

[merry swift]

virtex+

[quiet rain]

4 crates, 1 spawn near the warehouse, two nears containers + double loot crates and cache

since its never looted its free money

[hazy veldt]

hover over the purchase button?

[rigid wind]

fuck shotgun scavs man\

[prime comet]

Shotgun scavs > most players

[karmic axle]

if u fail dailys do u lose rep?

[rain wing]

no

[karmic axle]

nice

whats the new event btw

[rigid wind]

fr fr

why are all the items from traders locked on flea?

[rain wing]

you need to have a certain rep level with them

hover over the 'buy' icon

[rain wing]

hmm

oh actually I had that same issue

not sure

[orchid salmon]

Seems to be an error atm I see more ppl with that issue

[rain wing]

yeah

[quaint quarry]

I actually never unlocked M856A1 this wipe due to some strange bug

On second read that is not the issue you're having, nvm.

[karmic axle]

why is this able to fire full auto? isnt it ADAR receiver

[orchid salmon]

have you completed The Cult - Part 1 ?

[orchid salmon]

Someone put a m4a1 upper in there.

[quartz iron]

i swear bro killa sound whores more than pmcs

[karmic axle]

so as long as it has that part it can go full auto?

[quaint quarry]

Yeah, I'm level 51 with most tasks completed. Just never unlocked it from PK

It's fine though. I have both M855A1 trader prices and I'm constantly crafting M995

[orchid salmon]

Sorry *lower receiver. you could buy a full adar + m4a1 lower receiver stripped part from Mechanic LL2 and just swap that part and you have a M4a1 Frankenstein Adar with full auto possibility

I wouldn't recommend using it but, it's possible.

[karmic axle]

okay nice

thanks

[crude gyro]

anyone know if there is a glitch with mechanic part 2 quest?

this is my gun

[orchid salmon]

I haven't heard anyone about that. Would put a bug report in through launcher actually 🙂

[crude gyro]

and this is what is being asked for the quest

[orchid salmon]

You're missing the base compensator

[quaint quarry]

I've done that as well. Got the standard "it's been forwarded to the devs" response. I've never seen anyone else encounter this either.

Most certainly an interesting bug

[orchid salmon]

All you can do then man. I had the part 4 bug for 2 months before they fixed it.

[whole thistle]

Did you do cult part 1?

[rain wing]

god I fucking hate that one rogue on the automatic grenade launcher turret

[quaint quarry]

#beginners-assistance message

[rain wing]

you miss your shot he runs off

then when you run up to get a better look

he gets back on

[whole thistle]

🛌

[quaint quarry]

2 months? That's rough

[rain wing]

also

valday, tac30 or vudu?

ik it's personal preference

[quartz iron]

tac30

valday is ass

[quaint quarry]

For me it's always Vudu although the Tac30 has better zoom. Just can't stand the reticle

[crude gyro]

thank you, needed that last piece.

[rain wing]

wait vudu is 1-6 and tac30 is 1-4 right?

[orchid salmon]

No worries! The wiki's generally tell you what to buy assuming you use a stock / base gun.

[serene reef]

yup

kinda personal preference

but tac30 and vudoo are actually better than valday

[rain wing]

alr

[serene reef]

tbf i'd run the spectre 1-4x if you could turn off the ironsight on top

[rain wing]

I would but I'm sniping rogues

so

preferably larger magnification

[karmic axle]

normal to not be able to see anything while shooting this?

[quaint quarry]

Yes, muzzle flash is insane on M4s

[karmic axle]

i just see smoke

lol

[quaint quarry]

lol, what?

[karmic axle]

i think its the jailbrake

idk

[waxen otter]

seems right

lmao

[quaint quarry]

Yeah, that's about what you can expect from a loud M4

[karmic axle]

xd

56 recoil

so

aint bad

[rain wing]

is this rig good?

[silver estuary]

Yes?

[topaz violet]

yea

[primal breach]

my friend bought the game and found a gpu in his first raid

in a pc

and then another one

[rain wing]

bruh.

[primal breach]

bro is lvl 3 with 2 gpus

[whole abyss]

@glass kelp I saw you were level 7, probably doing the tarcone file quest

I cleared your gear, if you need help with the quest let me know

[merry swift]

1/4x is okay for rogues tbh

But for the 1/6x the vudu is much better to use than the valday

Valday's cheaper tho

[pastel current]

what is the name of the 5.56 60 round mag

[solemn cairn]

i am new and i just got a merin car key (found in a raid on reserve as a scav) and i feel like selling it what do i put it up for

[quaint quarry]

Which one?

[pastel current]

the one for gunsmith part 4

[quaint quarry]

Is it this?

[pastel current]

yes!!!

[prime comet]

You barter it for dorms

[solemn cairn]

i dont like customs

[pastel current]

it isnt showing up for me

[prime comet]

No point selling it the tax is too high

[quaint quarry]

It's barter only at Peacekeeper 3

[pastel current]

damnnn

[prime comet]

So find something worth it for the same kinda price and put it up for barter

[wide comet]

for some reason when i try to mode a weapon it says that no one sells the parts and even the traders(i have the my trader levels for the item i need and even i can go and buy manually but i can buy it when i go to the flee)

[solemn cairn]

some guys are selling it for 2m rn

[elfin gale]

servers are having issues, don't worry too much

[pastel current]

what are the items need for the barter?

[wide comet]

ok

[prime comet]

It’s a cheap barter

[quaint quarry]

Yeah, it's like 40-50k

[prime comet]

If you can wait for a few hours

Smoove

I’ll just give you one

[merry swift]

Tax on 2m merin is not too bad iirc

[pastel current]

Sure how long?

2-3?

[prime comet]

What’s the time for you now

[pastel current]

8:13AM

[prime comet]

12pm

I’ll be on

[pastel current]

ok

[prime comet]

Saves a lot of effort

I hoarded like 8 for this moment

[quaint quarry]

I picked up a Merin Car key for 1.5m a month ago, didn't use it once yet

[solemn cairn]

i am just gonna use it just found out i can get bitcoins

[prime comet]

I’d use merin a lot

Yes but the chances are slim

[solemn cairn]

i am pretty lucky

[prime comet]

Me and hauu always try and hit merin when we play lighthouse and have got next to nothing

I’ve had more btc from the rest of the map compared to merin

[solemn cairn]

yeah but i fell special with this key and i like the bitcoin

[prime comet]

Then just use it

[solemn cairn]

i will

[prime comet]

So far from what I’ve seen, it’s not worth it

[solemn cairn]

loading in rn

[prime comet]

But everyone’s different with rng

[solemn cairn]

i am really lucky

i found 2 gpus the other day

😧

[crude gyro]

if anyone has an extra hk mp5sd 9x19 sound suppressor id buy it off them

[whole thistle]

You have 12 mil bro just unlock peacekeeper 2 😢

[crude gyro]

i cant get his tasks without finishing some stuff for skier 😦

[whole thistle]

You don't need to do tasks for peacekeeper 2

[crude gyro]

so what do i do?

[whole thistle]

Check

It's just money spent

[crude gyro]

ooouuu

[thin prawn]

[crude gyro]

isee that, thanks bro

[thin prawn]

Just buy one of the pistols and reselling it

[crude gyro]

[whole thistle]

I just buy enough dollars to level him

You'll need them anyway

[thin prawn]

And when it gets too expensive, but some more money and do it again

[crude gyro]

[thin prawn]

Tbh just buy 11k dollars and spend them

[crude gyro]

oh i can buy them from him

thanks, i appreciate ya

[thin prawn]

or if you wanna save money just buy and sell the pistol

[solemn cairn]

so how much is it

[thin prawn]

Mil cable is like 50k

[solemn cairn]

only?

[thin prawn]

I think

It’s for a task

I think

So I’d say keep it

Not worth the sell

I’m just waiting until lvl 15 so I can sell all my flea shit

[solemn cairn]

i am lvl 18

[whole thistle]

You don't need it for any tasks

[thin prawn]

Here lemme check the price of the cable

[thin prawn]

79k flea

Just checked

[solemn cairn]

u wanna do light house with me?

[thin prawn]

nah bruh I’m in school rn sorry

[solemn cairn]

why u texting in school

[thin prawn]

I already did the shit

[whole thistle]

Shit your pants

[solemn cairn]

[thin prawn]

We’re prepping for exams and we just do review packets

Lucked out on that santa drop

[thin prawn]

Nah this m4 I got from a Scav is 10x better

[solemn cairn]

cheesh

[thin prawn]

Literally all of this was from a Scav except the gpu

I was on a Scav run and accidentally doinked a Scav thinking he was pmc so this one ran after me

[crude gyro]

thanks for the qust help

ya blessed

[thin prawn]

Np bro

PK level 2 is good

I need level 15 to get Yeager and a couple other traders lvl 2

[solemn cairn]

[thin prawn]

Sadly no

[solemn cairn]

oh

[sleek briar]

Gifs are illegal

[thin prawn]

Gif police

[solemn cairn]

i dont know how to react to this without gifs

[thin prawn]

Brooo I had to get off last night when I was 700 xp off of lvl 15

I’m so mad

[solemn cairn]

dam

[thin prawn]

And today is almost a fully busy day

I’ll barely have time but once I get lvl 15 I can finally start upgrading my stash

[finite badge]

what happened to my gun?

[coarse horizon]

Why the download stuck at 0?

[dusky geyser]

a glitch that can happen to the preview images
it shouldn't matter that much

[finite badge]

ok

looks funky tho

[spiral flicker]

Sheesh, t-7 boi

Did u extracted

Where the hell is z33d getting those slicks tho

Is he buying that shit for 700k

[orchid salmon]

n-15 armasight not t-7

[spiral flicker]

It is t-7 for sure, I won this identical kit too

And n-15 have dual googles

Idk how to describe it

[dusky geyser]

it's T-7s.

[rain wing]

t7s

[spiral flicker]

[rain wing]

yeah

[orchid salmon]

ooh wait

im looking at the wrong screenshot

nevermind

[spiral flicker]

[orchid salmon]

I was looking at this one like wtf why is everyone saying t7

[dusky geyser]

i like how you can cosplay as BB with the T-7s

it is a pretty damn expensive cosplay though

[spiral flicker]

Who's bb

[dusky geyser]

big boss

[spiral flicker]

[karmic axle]

is it just me or whenever i spawn at southern road i extract immediately

[fervent ermine]

did they change raider spawn chances?

i cant find any after 5 raids in a row

d2

[orchid salmon]

Not that I know.

[serene reef]

+1

[spiral flicker]

What map

[fervent ermine]

lh

i think there's only 1 southern road extract no?

[serene reef]

its not just you

that spawn is bs

might as well just reset

[fervent ermine]

far away from everything

[spiral flicker]

Yes but "south road" can be on every map

[serene reef]

name two south road exfils

[fervent ermine]

ah yeah, fair enough

[mint light]

southern road landslide and southern road

lol

[serene reef]

okay fair

;-;

[mint light]

outplayed!!!

[spiral flicker]

[fervent ermine]

i still dont get why they are two seperate extracts

[serene reef]

💐

you win

prob to make sense lore wise

[karmic axle]

lighthouse

[spiral flicker]

1 is for scavs I think

[karmic axle]

u know the spawn on the most east side of the map

[spiral flicker]

Ye

[karmic axle]

yeah

[fervent ermine]

yeah but they can combine them

[karmic axle]

i just extract immediately

cant be bothered

[fervent ermine]

make it just southern road

[serene reef]

well obv but why not make one for both

[spiral flicker]

I just run to merin and then to water treatment

Why would I extract

[fervent ermine]

chalets, merin water treatment, train station, then northern checkpoint

and house if you got it

[mint light]

make southern road a scav pmc co op extract 💀

[karmic axle]

i only farm rogue camp

[fervent ermine]

is rb-rs good?

[spiral flicker]

3 front rogues and then leave?

[fervent ermine]

found it on jacket

[karmic axle]

no

[spiral flicker]

For quest

[karmic axle]

and warehouse 1

[spiral flicker]

Pricey

[karmic axle]

also only 2 front rogues

xd

[fervent ermine]

how much

[spiral flicker]

1.3 mil?

[fervent ermine]

holy shit

[spiral flicker]

Something like that

[fervent ermine]

free 1.3 mil lol

i only run reserve for raiders, dont give a shit about keys lol

[spiral flicker]

There are actually 2 quests in there

[fervent ermine]

which ones

[spiral flicker]

Revision part 1 and some early mechanic task

[fervent ermine]

that's rbst lol

[merry swift]

I think you can try chalet from there but it's one of the worst spawns. I think the one on the beach behind the landing stage is worse though

[spiral flicker]

Oh

I thought u wrote rb st

[fervent ermine]

lol

[somber dragon]

rbrs isnt much only like a 100k or do i think

[spiral flicker]

Well it's probably shit idk, I don't play reserve

[somber dragon]

let me look for you hold

[fervent ermine]

reserve is only good for raider farming or pvp for chads

[spiral flicker]

Quests

Quests, both player-given and dynamically generated, are intended to be a large part of Escape from Tarkov.
Some require you to pick stuff up for certain traders, while others require you to kill other operators or mark vehicles and specific places. Quests are the fastest way of gaining EXP. Completing one will often reward you with experience points, trader reputation, money, valuable loot, rare containers, and unlock the purchase of new items.
When a trader has a quest available, they will have a green tick on their icon.

[karmic axle]

where am i

uhm guys

[fervent ermine]

is this lighthouse

or shoreline

[mint light]

is this shoreline

i literally cant tell

[fervent ermine]

that's scav town on lighthouse

[spiral flicker]

Yea

[fervent ermine]

can be seen from shoreline

[karmic axle]

lighthouse

[merry swift]

Yea shoreline house hasn't got the house behind it

[karmic axle]

scav town?

[mint light]

village

i call it village

[karmic axle]

bro

[spiral flicker]

Same

[karmic axle]

anyone got map ;-;

im lost

[spiral flicker]

Sure

[mint light]

go up to the rocks and climb them behind the village

and now u are at blue chalet!!

[fervent ermine]

i think

[arctic lake]

Level 2 BTC farm

[karmic axle]

ok nice

thanks

i heard grenades going off at rogue camp

[serene reef]

nades or mines

[merry swift]

I was thinking about something earlier. Isn't .45 HydraShok basically the same as .45 RIP for 1/3rd of the price? HydraShok has a 50% fragmentation chance

That's pretty nutty

[mint light]

100 percent fragment is marginally better

[merry swift]

It's 0%

RIP doesn't fragment

[mint light]

dude are u braindead

that is the entire point of rip

[merry swift]

That's kind of a weird way to go into a conversation but alright

[mint light]

idk why u thought rip dosent fragment

lol

[merry swift]

I know it doesn't fragment wdym

[mint light]

how to tell people dont play the game

[fervent ermine]

i dont think frag chance works properly in tarkov

[mint light]

beta game

[merry swift]

Rounds with less than 20 pen don't fragment. You'd know this if you weren't such a condecending dickhead when you are actually completely wrong.

[fervent ermine]

if it did rip would be op

[merry swift]

Sit down.

[mint light]

ratio zaddy 😍

[merry swift]

^

[mint light]

sorry my dad was typing he dosent play the game

[merry swift]

Imagine being this convinced about something you quickly googled when you haven't got a clue

[mint light]

dude im fucking with u

💀💀

[merry swift]

No you weren't.

Nice try tho

Anyways

[mint light]

yeah i wasnt

im sorry 😭

you are right i am wrong

🥺

[merry swift]

.45 HydroShok ends up doing about the same damage as RIP while being available much earlier and being 1/3rd of the price. It's pretty insane for leg meta I think

[mint light]

ok you can take my title

[fervent ermine]

which rip, 9mm or .45

[merry swift]

.45

hydrashok does 105 damage but with 50% chance to fragment that's effectively a 25% damage boost to it

[fervent ermine]

havent tested with 45 rip before, only used 9mm rip, from what i've seen it's pretty insane

[mint light]

aim at leg take brain

monkey brain aim center mass with bp

win

[merry swift]

.45 RIP is mechanic 4 which is level 40 but hydrashok is already there from PK3 which is only level lvl 23

[austere hound]

But both rounds have under 20 pen

[merry swift]

No that's the fun part here, hydrashok has just over 20 pen

Does it not?

Hang on lemme check this again

[arctic lake]

13

[mint light]

🤯

[austere hound]

That screenshot above says 13 but idk if that's right or not. Just was going off what's here

[merry swift]

Ah you're right I must've misread then. I thought I saw it having 21 earlier

Disregard RIP is still better 😄

[arctic lake]

13 enough to go threw a paca?

[fervent ermine]

how you gonna aim at chest when best round you can buy for pen is pst

[merry swift]

Not really

13 pen is really sad

[mint light]

what

[merry swift]

But it's leg/stomach ammo anyways

[mint light]

even at lvl one u can buy 7.62 ps or something

pst should stay flea banned

overpowered

[austere hound]

Maaaaan I have such a hard time quickly noticing someone's armor to know if their stomach is free game

[merry swift]

Yea same here I don't bother

Then again I don't really run legmeta anyways

[whole thistle]

Barely lmao

[austere hound]

I haven't yet either, but next wipe I'm gonna try to play a lot differently than I have been. Probably gonna give it a shot if it isn't nerfed

[mint light]

zapwag

[merry swift]

Nice I might give that a whirl

[whole thistle]

what

[merry swift]

But I always drift back to DMRs and bolt actions. Just my playstyle I guess

[mint light]

is my name correct

[short dragon]

how fucking many people can there be in big red????? every single fucking game. theres ONE safe there, like why do i meet the entire lobby in big red trying to do my quest? every. single. fucking. raid. ive tried probably 15 times now alone and with my friend. cant even get into the building

[mint light]

i have actually killed zapwag 52 times in total

[whole thistle]

I wouldn't know smh

[remote kettle]

are you sure they arent scavs

[austere hound]

Ayoooo same. I find I can't hit headshots on pmcs unless the gun forces me to make my shots count

[serene reef]

what? why? how?

[whole thistle]

hes spawn camping me irl

[mint light]

im the ultimate stream sniper

[sterile minnow]

Intel spawn for one

[whole thistle]

Yeah check my stream my twitch is lvndmark

[merry swift]

Kicking door=fun

[mint light]

yeah killed u 52 times

[merry swift]

Glad DMRs are busted this wipe tbh 😄

Been clapping with the 7.62x51 sticks

[mint light]

you will now only buy the m4 sopmod for eternity @whole thistle

[whole thistle]

no

[short dragon]

and now the games bugged. cant get in a lobby with my mate

[mint light]

ok

[whole thistle]

I LOVE TARKOV SERVERS!!! 💕💕💕

[mint light]

tarkov is so fun!!!! goes interchange

[whole thistle]

Interchange makes me want to bleed

[spiral flicker]

U must git gut

[mint light]

interchange try not to die by someone in a corner challenge

[whole thistle]

(Impossible)

[short dragon]

interchange is the only map i can play without raging lol

[mint light]

not possible when everyone in NA servers are flying around and not cheating at all

[whole thistle]

The only maps I've seen cheaters on is labs and interchange

[mint light]

then i might have some news for you

[merry swift]

Interchange is more like player versus scav simulator. Map is so goddamn dead it hurts

[austere hound]

True. Being a klin goblin early wipe also sounds like a lot of fun though!

[mint light]

i saw like 5+ pmcs dead in the exact same spot

and then i went to that spot

and died immediately

[short dragon]

woods gives me like 30 fps, fuck shoreline, lighthouse is also shit fps, customs is dead to me after all these quests, factory is just boring, no loot. interchange has loot, pvp, killa, stashes, everything u need

[mint light]

interchange has nothing but cheaters or rats or scavs

[merry swift]

Maybe a shotgun wipe could be fun. You master shotguns incredibly fast because of the multiple hits

[mint light]

go to tech store maybe find gpu

leave

[merry swift]

Become king 155 👑
