on a budget, ump.
ump still
I have a few umps stored
non-fir vectors are fine.
personally though i like 9mm smgs
I did great with the 50 mag MPX
personally though i like the PP-19 and the MP5
got a PMC and like 4-5 scavs in a run
MPX is too bouncy for me
MP5 literally killed me last night
brand new!
and the 50 mag jammed on me
on like the 2nd shot as well
happened to me with a UMP once
I run into 2 AI scavs, start shooting, jam on 2nd shot, run down the escalator, a PMC on the escalator
x.x
it be like that
idk, I just like the MPX as a gun
and as I said, I did good with it
has the drums as well
I also liked the ak101 over akm

stopped buying 101s cause no ammo
spent all my 856a1s
idk, this is my go to smg
yeah, i don't really do to much else with them
coins I mean
not worth it imho, if they're fir.
mechanic has a few trades for them
whats a good BTC price to sell?
just sell when gp spikes to 45-50k
it follows IRL BTC right?
not very closely.
300k, but it fluctuates wildly
rn its at like 275
when ruble crashes, then it's good to sell.
^
both
in-game ruble is tied to irl
in what way?
all in game currencies are tied to real life currencies, although it isn't 1:1
$ buying power?
so dollars were really expensive when the war started because roubles dropped in value
I mean you never wanted to do that, since information items were better.
if you won't do that you'll never buy anything off of him again
I have $$$ stocked up
weather is also based on the weather in moscow if i remember correctly
buy stuff like SAS / SSD off of flea (not now! they're expensive as fuck now)
st petersburg.
only spent it for my MPX really
sdiaries are still untouched since no barter.
so that's why it's always fucking raining
right
i usually use SAS so
and normal diaries also keep going down to 25'ish from time to time
i was gonna say they don't look too far but they are super far from each other
would be even cooler if the weather was tied to the server, not to SPb
the one that i showed?
it's one of the rare modded barters that are actually good
it feels really good tbh
it's alright, but I'd rather run vector at that point.
i believe it even costs less than buying parts off of traders and making it yourself
true
but a vector ain't gonna do much at medium ranges
which is where i think the 19 can do at least something
i personally don't like the vector
...now nobody's playing the game anymore
night shoreline
Yeah... 😄
fuck it, i'm gonna try gilla hunting
i haven't done that and i am kinda tired of running around doing quests anyway
ragman wants me to play labs for a chainlet, and to buy stuff off flea that costs way too much now
you receiving 30 igolniks to the chest through an altyn
he really likes to "ha gotcha" you
if you really need to kill him though, i'd recommend praying for a fast spawn - underground parking lot
not safe at all
no, it doesn't work like that anymore
is it a terrible idea to buy a stm with 50-60 durability? xD
ofcourse it is
it's a terrible idea to buy anything that isn't 100 dura
do not buy <100 dur weapons
with exceptions
its so cheap tho but i guess malfunctions suck
do they happen more often the lower it goes?
Yes
alright. i wanted to try the stm again but i have a love hate relationship with that gun
it's a 9mm pea shooter.
But, if you're great at tapping heads, it's okay.
but really, if you're that good at tapping heads, just run adar or something.
at least the rounds will have some penetration for faceshields/helmets.
VPO209 gang gang
vpo209 moa is horrible though.
great for torso shots with apm.
but a bit risky for tapping heads.
You assume I can hit a man sized target at 10 metres, very bold of you sir! 😄
i like the stm cus its cheap and low recoil, easy to use, but yeah it shoots peas
and the bullets drop like rocks
You can still make AK/M4 a laserbeam with the right mods
stm is like 20, adar is like 35?
yeah but isnt everything m4 related insanely expensive
Depends.
If you want a good M4, it is yeah.
yeah ive always prefered the ak because the m4 kicks so much cus of the increased firerate
pimped m4 is required to make it usable in full auto.
^
but both adar and stm are semi-auto.
i guess ill try and use the adar more
I mean i'd only use it if you like the gun/round for some reason.
5.56 suck hard this wipe
↑
well i mean i guess its just a better stm lol
Just get 308
308?
Poncy way to say 7.62x51
erronous way to say 7.62x51 NATO 
putting .308 winchester through 7.62x51 nato guns, can result in bad time.
Putting any ammo through any gun can result in a bad time for somebody involved 🤔
Wouldn't Vepr hunter be chambered in .308 though as it's a civilain hunting rifle? 🤔
As well as Remington 700
Rb ak or craft em
It's generally safe to shoot 7.62x51 NATO through .308 guns, but not .308 rounds through 7.62x51 NATO guns.
oli
oh shit they used to go for like 40k
Where were the changes announced?
I need some help questing if anyone is down to help, due to me being under lvl 15 i can't get any keys so i'm kinda stuck.
the armors/helmets should be under ragman
but he aint there for some reason
i fucking hate player scavs
it's ok they hate you more
i looted an airdrop fully was 65 kg had g28 fuel and other valuable shit 😦
dudes sitting in a bush camping extract
how pussy can you get
Me, who did full cleaning of 3 junkboxes, since I didn't have more space. Fml
where is shturmans crate
because i mightve killed him
found it
it was so bad lol
omfg yesterday I bought like 8 for 50k each thinking omfg these are getting so expensive
LOL
xD
i've sold so many of these items for 1/5th of the current price the last week
this is sad
#eft-announcements this must be light keeper reference or event 
ohhh trueee
Hello 
Good, I am on my way home 
noiceee
Wtf is that tx
i've just got in so it's fine, take your time
it was a uhh barter item
i wanted to try it

Can't see through right?
Nope

Thermal where

Is the reap-ir better than the flir?
True, I’ll have a look while I cook lunch
One is good for sniping and the other one is good for rifles but idk which one
Is it like event
I think so?
I mean, it's not really good, because prices 📈
I dunno, I’m just chilling
300k mule is 
Oh lmao
HEX GRID TIME
hex grid is actually not too terrible in price.
I’ve got 3 still
class6 is 500k+ normally? 
Just not the labs cards to use them
And fuck knows
I get hexgrids for free and it costs 1 m80 bullet usually

you did indeed 
and theyre used for hexgrid barter
!wiki smt
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Secured_magnetic_tape_cassette
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page smt for a direct link.
Secured magnetic tape cassette (SMT) is an item in Escape from Tarkov.
sadly my empty fuel tanks were taking too much space
so i kept selling ssds yesterday
i think i sold like 20 of em
:')
this is lowkey pog for me tho
the route for sani i was doing can include lots of ssds i believe :3c

i'm ready

so am i understanding correctly that MGTs are expensive because of the lapua AP barter?
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Military_gyrotachometer
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page mgt for a direct link.
The Military gyrotachometer (MGT) is an item in Escape from Tarkov.
Is rys better then altyn?
i think so
who's gonna buy that for 350k +
Yes more dur
its better but not of higher tier
I saw 
oh no
Welp. I might as well not play til next wipe then. Night raids are gonna be filled with 338s with FLIRs
like they're not that far away performance wise change my mind
See you in like 2 months
depends on the map I guess, but I doubt it'll be flir heavy, too much gear fear.
rip my flir yesterday
People are def gonna stock up on these barters
just LL1
All of the barters should be Ragman 1 from what i'm seeing
damn wtf
hexgrids maybe.
Yea, I wanted to throw it in water but 2 .45 acp fmj killed me 
most of the barters aren't that much cheaper now.
only rich people can bulk buy and put them in stash, then never use them until prewipe

+1
why would you bulk buy them
you cna just nab flir for 650k then
well hexgrid accessibility
I think so
well not really.
just low trader people, but with the prices skyrocketing, low levels don't really benefit much.
Like im still trying to find the pog barters
Depends on if you have a stockpile of the barter items or not.
Just between this & scav runs being broken, I'm def taking a break till reset. Enjoy y'all!
i mean, neat, we will obv have more of those items
but that's gonne be gone in like 2 days
change my mind

but having a stockpile doesn't make the items 'cheaper', since using the items you pay the opportunity cost.
unless you have a lot of non-fir stuff, for some bizarre reason.
especially 15
Bs ammo isnt hard to get anyway tho
I mean, BS at 15 would be fine anyway
Bs is like bb gun xd
Woods has supplies for days
True
because most low levels are clueless.
Does this event mean The End Times (wipe)?
Probably not
I just unlocked jeager LL2


NightForce 2.5-10x24 scope
Screen?
troll?

confusion?
do we know if the game is gonna wipe like a week in advance
No
I mean
do we get to know at all
Not unless nikita says anything about it
not that we're know at fiorst
i gotta few kits i should speed run before wipe
it's all rumors, unconfirmed
wait till A LOT of events happen in a span of 3 days
what is the event or whatever right now
like raiders here bosses here etc
free labs
etc
new barters
lots of items went sky high
ssds are 100k+ now
Some expensive barters for good things
xD
Twitter doesnt lie 
are these loyalty level restricted?
ll1
but basically impossible to buy if you're poor
prices are high af
i love how you can buy lapua AP at ll1 but cant buy the weapon for it like
ever
good luck, they rose up to 100k
is green keycard any good? it doesnt sell to therapist for very much
800k hexgrid
WTF
DONT SELL COLORED KEYCARDS
flir 800k+ or smthn
💀
how much worth
do you have flea market
Like 2-5 mil
it's a dorms marked key worth
sell it to fence
as of rn there are no reasonable barters for it
so you can set your own
once you get flea ig i'd just look around using the "required search" function
green is a lot more than 2-5m :d
are any of these barters worth it
to see if there are any offers to compare
time to refresh fence 100x times and yoink that
2 wep cases and thicc wep?
1 thicc wep and 1 items? xD
we looking at 10mil+

so id say no
no like the event ones goober
Idk how much is that
Did they nerf the 7.62 mdr or smth? Havent played for a while but the recoil feels A LOT bigger than it used to be
no
none of them are worth it
the prices are insane
is thor ic lvl 6 or 5
no one knows
highest offer is 8 ledx's, but you don't need 8 non-fir ledx's as a normal player
well its not gonna go higher than what people want to buy it for
im gonna wait to see what the prices settle for
there are some lowkey neat barters like BS ammo for SSD
hexgrid hoarding is worth it if you like hexgrids.
since you can't buy hexgrids otherwise.
????????
^ IKR?!
what a trade!
why even make barters like that
because military hose is cheap 
put a slickers for a mcb
whats the barter price
on the same level as
100k for M45?

barter price @mint light
What. the.
Fuckin joke
sad scav is sad
what a steal
~500-550k
more expensive than vendor, but available ll1
500k isnt too big of a hit for some lvl 6 armor
Greedy boi
thor's a poormans zabralo tho
immediate barter price is 370k + 175k
which is a bit more than 500k ye

then i had to run to landing stage
im assuming we are gonna see a lot more high lvl armor now
and didnt make it in 5 mins
so-so, most casuals probably don't even know of these new barters.
ah shit gonna have to tap into my high pen stuff
U didn't have factory zone?
Yea
so what im seeing so far
Coz u are cold blooded murder
sometimes
is everyone is trying to buy t6 and flir/reapir s
i blame tagilla

i've killed him multiple times because he's stupid
I blame santa
same
I could have 6 already
F
but yeah those barters are so unplanned
like why put two of the same items on two diff barters
knowing the other one is way more worth it
which items are you talkin about g
sas drive for example
4 for cpc
2 in reapir barter
that makes the cpc barter 600k
how much time before a wipe they announce it?
a few hours.
while it makes reap ir 800k
i have a weekly to kill sani 4 more times
i get a weapons case nade case and 4k euros
i have the resources, i just need to wait to upgrade
yeah thats a mood
hopefully you can find him
it pains even more since upgrading the hideout is my self appointed goal
got him once already
pains? normal people say hurt
ultra instinct
second was a good fight, it was at dusk so was a bit hard
gonna see a lot more hexgrids and rys lmao
and 3rd was me chasing him around in bushes got onetapped sadly because my head was sticking over the fence i think :)
when wipe hits whats gonna be the best way to do tasks cuz everyone is gonna do them
stock 5.45 aks with bs*
is it cheaper to craft or buy sugar for moonshine?
barter is generally cheapest.
both emelya and pile of meds ones, as long as you get them both reasonably priced.
sugar crafts aren't worth it most of the time.
The emel craft is 
barter from jaeger ll2 you mean
Bit of a weird question, anyone have real world headset suggestions for this game? Using steelseries arctis 7 and I find it super confusing to try and locate where sounds are coming from
any decent audiophile stuff
What clothing for USECs is considered to be the most helpful? i am level 33 and still on standard clothes
flannel
I'm rocking G430
Do you have Binaural audio on?
What's the default?
lol I've had Tarkov installed for several years now, i'm not sure
Off
Then I have it off 😄
That may be the source of your confusion then.
Hmm, will give that a try
Turn Binaural on and you'll be able to tell your front and backs easier
decent dac + beyerdynamic dt770 or dt990 / audio-technica ath-m50x/sennheiser 598, or better, is what I'd recommend.
I'm guessing that's what you're having trouble with
Well up and down mainly but even left and right can get really confusing
i wouldnt say any of them are “helpful” just stylish
Like there was this guy on a rock above next to me and when looking at the rock the sound was coming from all over the place
Yeah give Binaural a shot
helpful for what?
camo? identification?
camo
Default is fine.
Just drip man
I like aggressor tac / softshell for upper body, sage warrior / tier3 for lower body.
I do find it funny PMCs getting dressed in civi clothes and fooling player scavs
If you want a black set, the VEKTOR/K4 Pants are pretty nice.
i mean ur armor will stand out more than ur clothes
then i will go for the drip
just got this compass, when i die with it do i lose it or is it like i have it in my pouch
you dont
you won't lose it
it would be nice to have a little preview for tactical clothing
right click ur pmc
ok
and u will
Right click my friend
rightclick on the clothes in services menu
holy shit
You can also left click your PMC on the leftside if you want to preview with/without gear.
Weird question but do you play planetside?
@dusky geyser wanna run some factory/customs today?
woooo planetside
me?
Yeah you
woop \o/
nop not really, tried it once
Okay, nevermind - There's someone on Planetside that's named "Saitama Forehead" - He's on 24/7 
battlefield but for broke people
^ damn, rude
not even comparable...
battlefield but for broke people is battlebit or ravenfield
battlefield has 128 players max in the shit one?
world war 3 even
from what ive seen battlebit > battlefield
no one is playing anything but 5 1 and 4
2042 or hardline?
rest are meh
dead
hardline > 2042 tbh
hardline would've been a great "cops and robbers online" game.
the marketing was terrible
gameplay itself is class
need for speed battleground 
5 was ass at launch, but it's quite good now.
i liked the robber and cop sided weapons and shit and the cars and music
ah, cool
i might rebuy
waaait
because the only time ive played it was at launch
Actually you know what hardline was? It was Bad Boyz Online. 😄
yes
add an impact nade maybe for better pvp
grab a pistol tho
COPS the game
they should've made a marketing deal with hollywood.
you're not a real gamer if you dont try to noscope/hardscope people
i miss cops that was a hilarious show
idk if eu had it
probably not
literally it was just cops arresting crackheads
Yes, it was syndicated at least to some countries.
i liked hardline
watch me 360 noscope shturman mid air
i wonder if its still playable
i like battlefield 4 but idk if i want to go back to it i feel there would be a lot of cheaters
kinda dead
but good community servers would ban them
Anything > 2042
lmao
people bought too many REAPIR SIGHTS
2042 made me refund it instantly
theres not enough adapters xDDD
"just give it time"
2142>Yes
Im surprised they accepted refunds
there is like 0 new content
A year later "were working on fixes" 
the fact that battlefield has retained a really good level of quality up to 5 is obviously kind of a miracle with their publisher
they were bound to fuck up
And people said bf5 was bad
and they did
does it
bf4 CQC is better than bf1 CQC
One thing I hated w bf5 was the marketing "historical accuracy" and they butchered it cus woke
and the little bird
then they switched it to “a ww2 interpretation”
it's not them being op, tanks in 1 are stronger, but there's like 50 tanks at a time on a map in 4
Haha yeah, stick to one thing ffs
battlefield was never for historical accuracy, actually believing that after 1 is weird
Biggest yikes was "my daughter wants to play a female soldier"
Shes fucking 8 yold my guy
And also telling the community to not buy the game basically
ap-20 pog vs sanitar?
did ragman 2 get updated?
new barters for a lot of traders
medic is the best class
no, dont think so
scout is for virgins
medic in bf1 sucks ass
fun
he doesnt
scout was fun
only ll1 traders have been upgraded
use the federov
me on my way to kill 3 people and revive my entire team (I am playing bf4)
all medic dmrs are major dick
bf4 medics are actual war heros
ive never seen someone try to save my life more
defib and big pack, never anything else
low dmg, too low rpm to compensate for it
BF4 medic trains pushing a control point
big pack is trash
medic in bfv was literally the best class in the game
The true heroes of bf4
use pouches
pouches are better yeah
especially in 5
idk if to sell or get another one
i have like 2 reap irs and 2 flirs at stash one in use
imagine having to stand around in one place for 3 years waiting to get healed

the amount of caring i am currently going through
big pack gaming
Kar98 in bf5 was legit tho 
its was incredibly meh
under all circumstances
hmm yes let me stand in one place and do nothing while my hp regens slowly
Wut
the best sniper was ross rifle and the krag
only thing kar 98 had was muzzle velocity but the rpm was so low
bf1 lever actions 😍
Ross was Nice, not a huge fan of the Krag tbh
the krag is my baby

fuck you

scout with trench carbine is way more of an issue
sniping is just easy
in general
recon is easy
I liked the close mid range shots better, But that goes for all of the bf games imo
medic was completely broken in bfv
best guns in the game and u can revive and get infinite heals
what
But getting a longrange sniper hs was extacsy ngl
You fucking what??
mfw 20 scouts sitting on a hill missing shots
mfw 20 scouts sitting on a hill
if 20 scouts are sitting on a hill ur getting 20 free kills
u need to move lol
if u kill someone move thats like golden rule
ive had scouts kill me and then not move then i knife them
The ping was 1 of the best things about snoping, leave it to EA to fuck it up lmao
support sucks in every bf game
"we can now observe a herd of wild camper scouts in their natural habitat, a random hill on the edge of the map"
i cannot comprehend using an lmg
bar is op
are we talking bf5
Ah, a fellow stg enjoyer
Missing 1 task for full gold, But I gave up and quit 
do smoke nades make ai scream?
revolvers in bfv are actually lowkey broken
never played it
like just shoot someone in the head they die

most overhated battlefield
yes iirc
Tend to stick w my skinned m1911 tbh
i use the spammy pistols in bf1
i dont like spammy pistols
Yeah true
Not often I got to pull it out cus kar98 main
krag was the best overall sniper
medic is completely broken in battlefield 5
COMPLETELY
never played bf5
Id use it but I got full gold kar98, felt 2 drippy not to use
why'd you fucking ask then if you know the answer
kar had the best muzzle velocity but it was so unforgiving
the fire rate is killer slow
cause i didnt at that time?
Fucked me over more than once, But always stuck w it
Swapped to the ross occasionally, But never got full gold plating
ross was incredible
like being busy is pog, but lying to noobs is not 👀
Looked really slick too
im mad straight pull on it dosent work
.
straight pull gun doesn’t straight pull
Really? Tf
I havent been on bfv in ages but
but if u use those ur a pussy
Ew selfloaders
bolties for life
op as fuck
also it does
this guy killed me once with self loader and tbagged me and i spawn killed him on repeat with a krag because i fan one shot
Ngl Ive enjoyed like 1 SR rife, But its..an aquaired taste
selbslater
all of them are fun
but they get boring
Ye thats the one
i like hitting heads
PING
selbslater just actually has sex appeal
Ah, feels so good
ah yes i forgot, damage in this game isnt reduced by energy of bullet
when it travels more than 5m
:)
Would download bfv again, But idk, bf4 once in a while does it for me
is it populous on pc
🎁 Quiz #122, a giveaway for new players 🎁

The winner will get a complete loadout.
Everyone can enter, your region doesn't matter.
Message me with a screenshot of your overall stats if you want to enter.
Entry will close in 10 minutes. Quiz will take place in 15 minutes.
and are there cheaters? i assume community servers ban them fast cuz of the admins
Yeah it's pretty full on eu peak hours
Cant say ive met any obvious cheaters lately
what's considered a new player
i think battlefield 4 sniping is quite meh tho
Thats not to say they arent there, cus they are 
Depends on the map imo, some maps are great, others are complete ass
and everyone uses the same 5 guns
1st wipe
i use everything in bfv
Do all injector / food effects stack?
Does anybody have any advice for spawning in on factory in the tiny ass corridor with all the windows? I swear I always die when I spawn there as a PMC. either someone else spawns in the open room at the far end or they come looking immediately
run straight out the hall way
run towards office
like if you take a propital plus eTG does the health regen stack
yeah go out the door facing gate three
so basically I just gotta bail immediately, honestly should have figured that one out. thanks!
yeah if u hug the crates u just get wallbanged and die
oh boy
If u feel chadly u can rush the forklift room
bad face shield gang
that was how I died just before I posted the question lmao
ran into a dude way more geared out than me
Lol ya if u do that 100% expect to see 1-3 people
whats your level?
8 or so? I just started the other week and haven't had the time to grind out tasks. plus tbh most raids I head straight for the exit cause other PMCs tend to wreck my shit
hence the nickname lmao
cant get better avoiding fights and not doing tasks
are btc needed for anything but barters?
Yeah, I've been trying to stick around on maps longer and start looting places I can expect fights, but tbqh I always seem to either end up just looting by myself or dying immediately
Most guns are pretty enjoyable tbh, cept those damn lmgs
i am not 40 yrs old therefore i cannot use lmgs
Word 
last chance to join
no, and none of the barters are good, so vendor when you think btc price is good.
so glad i sold btc at 350k
how much this go for ?
Let me spectate 
Right click and filter by item
im in raid and i wonder if its worth keeping
Just aim
Like 20k
lmao true
Keep it for Samples task
That is the most common one he will certainly find another
20k stim tho 
where is the scav hideout at the grotto i cant find the extract im looking all around the grotto
Under the house
what house
ive just been walking around for like 5 minutes straight looking for this
so
Well there is a path close to the rogue area that leads to it
alrighty first game where should i go first
found it
why has lvl 2 ragman got rys t and lvl 2 skier suddenly got reap irs?!?!?!
things happened today
zammmm
Do your tasks
i only looted two rogues
customs you do your first task there
no, you inspect absolitely everything to get level 2
accept the mechanic quest
get jaeger and level 3 from that
Does anyone know if there's going to be another sale before the next wipe? I can't play on a standard account anymore.
probably
but bare in mind the price doesnt add vat
so like, the discounted price, is the price you usually see shown off
wait what is my first task
Hahahaha
Didn't expect to see you so soon Mancsi.
Go to Prapor/Therapist
Then go to the task tab
You'll find your first tasks there.
Check traders
what is this?
Thats offline, basically singleplayer w AI if you set it up
i turned on pve
Would still highly recommend watching YouTube guides tho, they are golden
Why the fuck are you using the pdw stock
Change the stock at least
what is berserk mode?
So it’s just injuring yourself critically for the funny eyesight?
there's some buffs or whatever under it
Like?
