beginners-assistance

[wise ether]

Depends

Not much to do in there

Its a small room with no cover

And some players prefire the entire room when they enter

They sit outside it and listen for a whole minute for the slightest sound

[bold kernel]

Yesterday when I first started I just bought a double barrel for like 10k went and camped extract and just killed some chad with lvl3 armor or something

[wise ether]

Chad lvl 3 armor??

I guess

What lvl?

[bold kernel]

I don't even know where it tells u the lvl

[wise ether]

The dogtag

When you kill a pmc they have a dogtag

[bold kernel]

I thought those things are worthless

[wise ether]

NO

Higher the level the more they sell for

Trades

[bold kernel]

Lol

[hazy veldt]

nobody decent should ever extract gate 3, without nading/checking for campers tho.

[wise ether]

150 tags above a specified level can get you a free scav box

[bold kernel]

Better be prepared to carry 20 nades with you

[wise ether]

I think its like that

[violet sparrow]

i just found my first ever violet keycard and i wanna sell it on the flea but it's going for 3.2m and i dont think itll actually sell

[wise ether]

Sell it a bit lower or somethin

2.8 idk

[bold kernel]

You just gotta sell it for like 1k but only to me trust it will sell fast

[hazy veldt]

it's not good value.

[wise ether]

Yes but

Still if u like pvp its a scav box

[violet sparrow]

its only 100 for a scav box 150 for an items case

[wise ether]

Ohhhh

Sorry havent played in a while

[hazy veldt]

there are better items to get for tags.

[violet sparrow]

i did the items case trade last wipe cuz i wasnt planning on selling dogtags lmao

[uneven kestrel]

giving a BTC for SBIH assistance DM ME

[wise ether]

Yes but its just an example

[bold kernel]

When does it wipe

[wise ether]

Always pick em up

[bold kernel]

First Thursday of every month?

[wise ether]

No

[uneven kestrel]

late july/august area

[wise ether]

Like once or twice a year i think?

[uneven kestrel]

approximately

[wise ether]

Wipes last a couple months

[hazy veldt]

6-7 months usually.

[uneven kestrel]

BTC for SBIH assitance????? running now DM me

[bold kernel]

is anyone around that's able to offer some tips on how to figure out what to purge from my stash? i got edge of darkness with the biggest stash size and I'm still out of space

i have a bunch of guns that I'm not sure I wanna get rid of

[proven wave]

is the zebralo and armor good

[hazy veldt]

Heavy, but good.

[violet furnace]

Makes u like 30% slower but it's t6 with arms and stomach protection

So unless u want to struggle to walk, don't take it if u don't have elite strength

[wheat cypress]

Hi, how can i make money on lighthouse 🥵

[violet furnace]

Go loot cottage area, there r many valuable spawns, but it can be risky

But i don't know that much about loothouse

I prefer woods

[wheat cypress]

Why?

Btw lighthouse is laggy

[violet furnace]

Less risky, can loot everyting and extract with vex easily

[bold kernel]

pretty much all i play is woods

[violet furnace]

And for me and my friends lighthouse can lag, and woods don't

[wheat cypress]

Kk, thanks

[violet furnace]

If u want i have Woods route

Also stashes on woods

[marsh harbor]

people don't loot SR25s and Ak103s?

[woven fiber]

wym

[violet furnace]

Depends how modded they were and if they have other loot

[marsh harbor]

fully modded 103, decently modded SR

I mean I don't mind

🙂

[violet furnace]

Show me these guns

[violet furnace]

Stock, suppressor and foregrip aren't best, overal this gun isn't that good. That why. Only thing worth is handguard but i can't ot mid raid.
Sr same, pistol grip and handguard i think r good. Rest is not bad but not that good.

It's good way to make sure Ur guns make it back

[silver jewel]

id strip stock and suppressors + scopes off of the guns and dip

qucik check mags as well for ammo type

[violet furnace]

These suppressors aren't good to play with, so only for sell, and he might had better loot

But Ur right Stich

[silver jewel]

mhm, or maybe he was just pressured by a nearby fight/ better loot like u said

[violet furnace]

Yea

[silver jewel]

i had to leave NVGS bc of a trio pushing

and an unlooted lvl 5 chad

better to keep less gear and live than to greed and die lol

[violet furnace]

Once saw man greed with t7. He could have easily kill me then loot. Nah he wanted that dogtag and broken Adar. L bozo

[marsh harbor]

is hamr the way to go for DMRs?

[woven fiber]

lmao i just had the best interaction with a scav i ever had and then i got 1 tapped across the map by rogue

[hazy veldt]

Whatever optic you like, is the way to go.

[marsh harbor]

I don't like the optic for the HAMR ACOG

[bold kernel]

do any level 1 traders sell model 700 muzzle devices for cash?

[marsh harbor]

but I run it cause its a combo

[hazy veldt]

Check https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1GzTKGEDC0kAfnpHvVWiM8rkizuLb1tp4UQ23C4e3Jtw/htmlview#gid=0

But really combo isn't a requirement.

You can run canted.

Or you can run scopes with variable zoom.

[marsh harbor]

what's the keyword for canteds in the list

so I can search

[spiral sinew]

what's a helmet with faceshield that also allows headphones?

[marsh harbor]

I like using the holo+ACOG on AKs

CQB vs long range

[hazy veldt]

Linked search https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/NcSTAR_MPR45_Backup_mount

[marsh harbor]

oh ok

I thought there is an integrated canted sights

[hazy veldt]

It's a mount for things like delta point or ff

[marsh harbor]

with both

like in CoD

[hazy veldt]

Not yet.

Hopefully one day.

[marsh harbor]

is it just the one?

[hazy veldt]

There's only one mount yes.

But it can take several optics.

Though delta point is the most popular one.

[marsh harbor]

does EOS fit?

I guess no?

[spiral flicker]

I like FF3 more tho

If u go in preset of that gun u can see what u can put on that

[marsh harbor]

and you also need to puit a mount on it, right?

you can't just put a 1x on?

[hazy veldt]

I mean you need the base mounts that you always need for delta point.

Or ff

[marsh harbor]

yeye that s what Im asking

you can't jsut put a 1x on

[hazy veldt]

I don't follow, delta point is a 1x

[marsh harbor]

You can't just use that canted mount

and just slap a 1x straight on

[hazy veldt]

You can't slap a delta point on main sights either.

[marsh harbor]

for most of them anyway

[hazy veldt]

You need the base.

[marsh harbor]

ik, I was wondering if this has one of those rails included

[hazy veldt]

The exception is hamr

Since it has the built in delta point mount itself.

[marsh harbor]

there's only 1 1x that fits

so no

I need a mount

[spiral flicker]

Ofc u need mount

Ffwb for FF3 and delta idk

[marsh harbor]

1.8K

not too bad

28K is too much for the canted, right?

[hazy veldt]

You mean total?

[marsh harbor]

no, just for the adapter

the ncstar one

[prime comet]

i miss my adar

why did i take it to labs

[marsh harbor]

trijicon acog looks cool

if only the housing was thinner

[idle thorn]

trijicon be expensive

[marsh harbor]

Valday PS-320 as well

valday looks clean

[prime comet]

i enjoy the valday

it's what i use unless i treat myself to a vudu

[marsh harbor]

Trijicon is not that expensive

20K

valday is 40

[rain wing]

what's that red 1-6x scope?

[marsh harbor]

eotech vudu?

or razor HD

[rain wing]

it might be the razor

definitely not vudu

[spiral flicker]

[prime comet]

its the rezor i think

[rain wing]

the one that has a sight picture like valday?

[marsh harbor]

vudu has red optics

[spiral flicker]

Oh we died on labs

[marsh harbor]

that's why I said vudu

[rain wing]

but like a red dot in the middle

[rain wing]

yeah ik

I meant the actual scope colour

being red

[marsh harbor]

razor is red housing

[prime comet]

i made it better its ok

i just cant find the base for the red dot

[spiral flicker]

I forgot, it was fast raid

[marsh harbor]

yea but razor is 70K

[prime comet]

yeah i killed the juicer

[kindred grotto]

best sight ing

[prime comet]

then died from god knows where

[rain wing]

ik this is pretty irrelevant but does pen valo effect the damage dealt through walls?

[marsh harbor]

how do you cycle if you have a canted and the variable zoom acog?

[prime comet]

alt + rmb ctrl + rmb

[marsh harbor]

do you cycle zoom ADS?

oh ok

[bold kernel]

should a 3-24x scope be adjustable? it was stuck at 14x the entire raid

[marsh harbor]

Nightforce ATACR 7 looks good as well

its 7x tho

kinda a lot

vudu looks good as well

clean AF

[kindred grotto]

razor the best one

[marsh harbor]

ik it is

but its 70K

[kindred grotto]

vudu is 70k too

if you dont have it on jaeger

[marsh harbor]

is canted supposed to go on the front rail for the AK?

[bold kernel]

dont mind me, just camping on Fence looking for good optics to pop up

[marsh harbor]

its kinda far

[kindred grotto]

You need to but the bastion whatever it is so you can but it closer

[marsh harbor]

I have the acog on bastion

[hazy veldt]

For canted you need frontrail yes.

[marsh harbor]

yea, canted cant go on the bastion at all

[kindred grotto]

Didint know that lol

[untold compass]

Anyone want to help me finish Mechanic Quest Find Jeagar smh keep getting smacked by duo/trios

[marsh harbor]

I use the VS combo so its ok

its just kinda far out front

I like the valday 320 for budget

[rain wing]

anything I can do to improve this?

feels like I can't get the recoil much lower without butchering my ergo

[spiral flicker]

i play only rk-2 angled grip

its only -6 ergo

[rain wing]

you mean the rk1?

[rain wing]

also is there a better suppressor combo for this?

[spiral flicker]

yea i mean rk 1

[spiral flicker]

i dont think so

[rain wing]

alright then

so 48 is about the lowest

[spiral flicker]

p-much

[rain wing]

unless I want to fuck my ergo even more

and go rk1

wait no

the rk2

[spiral flicker]

/

[marsh harbor]

is ergo just ADS speed?

[rain wing]

ads speed

ads sound

[spiral flicker]

it effects sound when u ADS

[rain wing]

lower ergo = slower ads and louder ads sound

higher is the opposite

[spiral flicker]

it isnt really important when you are the hip fire god

[rain wing]

yeah

[prime comet]

best gun in the game, change my mind

[spiral flicker]

0 ergo baby mosin with long barrel better

[keen warren]

looking for someone new to tarkov we dont care if your bad just dont be stupid. DM and me and a few friends will help you. Dont be sweaty, dont care about things and for the love of god dont be British

[vagrant cargo]

baaaad

[lusty hill]

what does vaseline actually do

[vagrant cargo]

alleviates pain

[lusty hill]

ahhh thx

[marsh harbor]

that's a weird RFB

[prime comet]

come here then bellend

[rain wing]

need paper 😩

[serene reef]

!wiki m61

[broken quail]

7.62x51mm M61

7.62x51mm M61 (M61) is a 7.62x51mm ammunition type in Escape from Tarkov.

[serene reef]

if you dont know where to go

ive seen lots of paper in crackhouse on customs

[rain wing]

yeah

[serene reef]

yeah on the intel shelves spawn 😇

[rain wing]

😋

swear to god if I get 3 intels and no paper

also in the desks

and stashes

[kindred grotto]

put the sight on bastion

[austere ermine]

Ever so slightly prejudiced and racist

[silver jewel]

it may just be the ping difference as well :shrugs:

[vagrant cargo]

Where’s man

[marsh harbor]

is 545x39 BP top of the line?

[serene reef]

BP underperforms a bit penetration wise

but its a decent round

[marsh harbor]

eh its for the 74s ...

w/e

[serene reef]

yeah but you're not onetapping helmets with that round

!wiki ballistics

[broken quail]

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

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Ballistics

Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.

[marsh harbor]

yea

idc about 74s

[serene reef]

yeah thats a huge not

[marsh harbor]

so w/e

[serene reef]

but hey its 400 on flea

do you like my gun?

[pure finch]

Time to die some more on my pmc's losing millions and having an existential crisi

[serene reef]

how about changing your pov instead?

aaand the pace?

what are you losing millions on?

quest you cant do? or overall just pvp

[vagrant cargo]

I used something like that

Never got a kill with it

And it came back in insurance lol

[austere ermine]

I got 3 pmc kills in dorms with a troll ass sks with a 75 round drum mag filled with BP

[gritty ore]

What is the best way to get to level 15?

[misty ginkgo]

Quests

Always do quests to earn xp

Or Lighthouse rogue farming.

But that is very inconsistent

[pure finch]

pvp just now for example i shot at a pmc as a scav which admittedly might not be the best idea

idk what ammo i had in that ak of mine but i got the jump him like i was 10 feet away from him basically on his side he didnt see me i shot like what i thought were 4 5 bullets directly into his head just for him to glance over to me and instantly kill me LMAO

[spiral flicker]

Oh my

U escaped tarkov rn

[serene reef]

i managed to outplay a trio xD

that shit dope

[serene reef]

yeah the bullets on that are bad

you gotta learn your lessons first

[pure finch]

are 7.62x39mm Ps Gzh rounds any good or are they like shooting water

[serene reef]

trust me everyone did that

yes PS rounds are one of the best things early game

[pure finch]

Lol

[serene reef]

as well as mosin LPS

[pure finch]

I just found a pmc i scared him he said man u scared the shit out of me we didnt see each other

after 5 minutes he said just push me i got scared and ran away

that guy probably things im a pussy

[vagrant cargo]

Any gun with bp good

[serene reef]

if you tell people to push them without a good reason

you're a b***

[serene reef]

as i always say

skill>ammo>gun

[vagrant cargo]

actually

luck>all

[serene reef]

maybe in your case

teehee

[vagrant cargo]

no I mean luck is op

pen altyn face shield with some shitty ammo with that 0.0006% chance

swagsome

[serene reef]

i cant disagree with that one after i killed someone in full t5 armor and a rys t

with m856a1

[vagrant cargo]

yep

[serene reef]

on like second shot

[vagrant cargo]

luck is op

[serene reef]

this wipe super early

i was SOOOO confused

[pure finch]

Well here we go again

[serene reef]

cause his helmet etc

[serene reef]

BAD NO

[vagrant cargo]

bro you forgot meds

[serene reef]

WHERE CHEESE

oh god if i were forced to use cheese i'd be bringing like 4 with me to every raid

if i were to be*

[pure finch]

What does the

Red package do i dont even know

[vagrant cargo]

I just accept my fate and bring only 2

[pure finch]

i thought it was like cheese

but different

[serene reef]

id rather have 2 heavy bleed red boys and a splint or two in my rig

and a salewa in my secure

[pure finch]

Well i always die instantly anyway

[serene reef]

dont even get me started about afaks or grizzly if gamma

[vagrant cargo]

CMS reattaches your body parts

[pure finch]

Oh

[vagrant cargo]

afak in gamma swag

[serene reef]

basically to kill someone in this game

you need to make their thorax and head reach 0 health

[pure finch]

Whats the most optimal way to achieve that

[serene reef]

whether you do that by shooting legs and taking away all their hp or you onetap/twotap headshot/thorax with good ammo

thats what you have to do

[pure finch]

with good ammo

I see

[serene reef]

ofc its kinda bugged if you bleed out you can have a blacked thorax which should mean death

[pure finch]

Do my rounds kill on headshot

[serene reef]

then you cant heal it back up and any dmg

even blunt dmg

kills you

even a blacked leg or bleeding xD

[vagrant cargo]

if you zero thorax or head it’s a kill

[serene reef]

but if you zero a limb

it goes black

[vagrant cargo]

except if you achieved that through bleeding

[serene reef]

you can repair it back to usability with a cms or surv kit

[vagrant cargo]

unless it’s thorax or head

[serene reef]

which makes it have reduced health tho so from 0/30 to 0/15

[pure finch]

How frequently are cms used

[vagrant cargo]

like all the time

[serene reef]

cms and survs are cheap

[vagrant cargo]

i genuinely never get through an actual gun fight without losing at least an arm

[serene reef]

flea its 15-20 and 33k

so people throw them away from their secure

to switch to something valuable they find

[vagrant cargo]

yes

33k for 3 slots is easy to beat

[serene reef]

last fight i killed two without getting shot xD

they were kinda baaad even tho decent lvl

[vagrant cargo]

yeah i mean in actual fights where they see me

[serene reef]

i think they were scared af

[vagrant cargo]

we both see

both shoot

[serene reef]

like duuude that guy tried to run to his friend through a hallway i was holding

[vagrant cargo]

wtf

I mean

[serene reef]

and then i waited on that guy's body

and his friend after 5min decided to actually push me

[marsh harbor]

sohuld I do inter with an RFB?

[serene reef]

and he got hs'ed on second bullet

[vagrant cargo]

I usually bhop through the doorway so I feel like I shouldn’t talk about that

[marsh harbor]

just need to farm the scavs

[serene reef]

RFB is a good answer for a lot of questions

[vagrant cargo]

db time

[serene reef]

i'd go any map with it tbf

[vagrant cargo]

scav murderer

[vagrant cargo]

no way ! Factory !

[marsh harbor]

I have a pocket SR

but dont wanna bring it out

[serene reef]

@vagrant cargo

i dont think they even knew about t1s and srs

[vagrant cargo]

A2 pistol grip

[serene reef]

its A GOOD GUN OKAY

[vagrant cargo]

it’s a really weird build

[woven fiber]

why do ppl like that sight 😆

[marsh harbor]

can sugar go up already

[serene reef]

srs and t1?

cause it has ZERO bloom at night time

[vagrant cargo]

Why does no one use ses

Srs

I seriously do not see any SRSes

[serene reef]

i dont like it as much, more a fan of STIFF sights like holo

[vagrant cargo]

oh wait I don’t play night time

[serene reef]

ill give screenie from srs at night time next raid

[vagrant cargo]

im tired of this game

i don’t have bp but I can’t farm raiders on my own

[tacit zenith]

Which backpack should I use early on? The three I have available are Sling, Flyye MBSS and Berkut BB-102. Do I just take the biggest one or will it put me at a big disadvantage in fights?

[vagrant cargo]

so many fucking squads with actual bs gear down there

[brittle canyon]

any 5x4

[serene reef]

WAIT WAIT

WTF

BUT WHY

[brittle canyon]

and just ZZ when you need to drop it

[vagrant cargo]

it won’t because you are supposed to throw it away when you start fighting

[serene reef]

sling and mbss are throwaway even low lvl unless you're questing/rat running and you dont need a backpack at all

[vagrant cargo]

Gun is a mix of amazing and terrible parts

[serene reef]

like i only ever took a sling cause its 2k and i was like im gonna regret not having that 2x3

for eg a car battery or smthn

berkut size is the minimal standard

then as you lvl up and get more rich

tri-zip and then like attack etc

although low lvl "resources gathering" i can say with clear conscience

[brittle canyon]

the new 5x5s are pretty nice

[serene reef]

go pilgrim (cause you find em on some pmcs and scavs)

[tacit zenith]

So I just drop it on the ground when I fight and put it back on after I win(if I do of course)? What advantages do I gain from not having a backpack on when fighting?

[serene reef]

even tho you stikc out like a sore thumb

like a white cat in a forest

[tacit zenith]

So berkut it is then, thanks.

[brittle canyon]

you lose weight

[vagrant cargo]

being encumbered gives you movement debuff

[serene reef]

also insurance

people cba to search for a timmy's backpack

neither really for a chad's most of the time

[tacit zenith]

Ahh, I see.

[serene reef]

unless they saw them with one on recently or they think it might be huge

inertia actually makes you swing weirdly

like you cant move at all

[vagrant cargo]

inertia gross

[serene reef]

and movement is super important

[serene reef]

duuude what is inertia

[vagrant cargo]

Somehow I was doing really good recently

And now I’m doing terrible

I can’t win any gunfights

I won a 1v2, died to a silent grenade

How is audio that fucked

[serene reef]

what is inertia xD

its actually ridiculous cause str high/low was a HUGE diff even before inertia

but now its even worse

[tacit zenith]

I heard you can do an insurance fraud and swap your equipment out with the gear of someone you just killed and throw your stuff somewhere in a bush and you'll get that back. Is that still in the game? Is it even worth doing or a waste of time since the insurance takes a long time?

[serene reef]

i often do that

i killed someone?

i hide my headphones and take theirs

HEADPHOOOONES

[cold fog]

Gdi. Tried to do my task on customs. Killed a scav inside the concrete walls around one of the warehouses. Pretty sure I immediately got wall banged. Or he was sniping and I couldn't see where from. Either way, I'm tempted to do a no gear run and just stick the damn item in my secure case

[serene reef]

thats a good answer except trust me as i say this

its way harder without gear

[brittle canyon]

just bring a makarov and 1 mag

meds in ass

[serene reef]

what makes you think that without that trusty gun it will be easier to do so?

[vagrant cargo]

no elite

[tacit zenith]

What do headphones do?

[cold fog]

Considering I die before getting to shoot approximately 75% of the time or more, mostly not losing as many rubles.

[serene reef]

not only make sounds louder, but also extend hearing range

[brittle canyon]

increase audible range + “enhance” sound

[vagrant cargo]

Gross M4

[tacit zenith]

Oh shit that's amazing

[serene reef]

so if you're not wearing headphones and you're running near an enemy

[cold fog]

Or I shoot twice and someone with a way better gun turns me into confetti

[serene reef]

and they have headphones

theres a distance where you dont hear them

and they hear you

they stop you keep running

easy kill for them

[brittle canyon]

https://youtu.be/ntOj4KrABJ0

pick your own

[olive shadow]

unless they're wearing gssh headset and their ears have already been shattered

headsets are awesome I always have them in my kit

[serene reef]

oh shit

gimme a tldr on that

[brittle canyon]

every ear has the same audible range but sounds different and it’s personal preference

so use the vid to pick your own

[serene reef]

i mean

sordins are bad af iirc

cant hear anything when running

[brittle canyon]

no?

[cold fog]

So anyway. Not sure if I actually want to do a no gear run but I'm not sure I'll be able to accomplish it any other way. Also, the construction site is nearly a complete unknown to me. I've got a vague idea or how the rest of the map works, but I've been in the site maybe once

[spiral flicker]

i like sordins

[brittle canyon]

it’s just bassy

just not your cup of tea

[serene reef]

meh ill stick to cheap 13k ones from prapor and comtacs as pref

[tacit zenith]

The only one I can get out of the listed ones in that video is GSSH so I guess I'll go with that.

Rest are locked because of my lvl

[serene reef]

gssh are great for early game etc

[brittle canyon]

skier 1 also sells one

[serene reef]

they do their job perfectly

[brittle canyon]

gssh is just earrape

amplifies everything

[serene reef]

is crafting moonshine even profitable at this point?

140k for sugar

water goes for 90k

230k

moonshine goes 240-260 atm

[brittle canyon]

superwater price might be wrong

[serene reef]

sugar price is wrong af for starers no?

unless we talking barters

[marsh harbor]

55K

[serene reef]

only* 55k

[marsh harbor]

what's the flea fee?

10%?

[serene reef]

depends on the diff between average base and wanted price

so if you list red for 800k ish or w/e your flee will be minimal

but if you list it for 1k you will be charged over a mil for doing that

[serene reef]

yh ig i cna keep crafting w/ barter sugar from emelya and sell my FiR ones

oh god my inv is a mess

waiiit good question

why is sugar 70k

wasnt it 90k just a second ago

xD

[tacit zenith]

Fence sells a lot of AKs. Which of the ones available at level 1 are best?

[brittle canyon]

none

[serene reef]

fence is a different breed

what he has is what other people sold him

[brittle canyon]

fence resells what players sell to him at a markup

[serene reef]

its kinda like an auction house

[tacit zenith]

Ahhh!

[brittle canyon]

and players sell broken scav guns to him

[serene reef]

more so fence accepts guns below 60% durab

[brittle canyon]

so it’s all shit

[serene reef]

^

if you want a decent ak you go to prapor

[tacit zenith]

I'm out of tushonkas

[serene reef]

for ammo barters?

or?

[tacit zenith]

The AK

[brittle canyon]

scav interchange

[tacit zenith]

Will do.

Love that map.

[brittle canyon]

or skier 1 has civilian ak for cash

[serene reef]

oooh you mean AKM

[brittle canyon]

or craft in workbench 1

[tacit zenith]

How do I craft?

[serene reef]

what level are you?

[brittle canyon]

build the bench

[tacit zenith]

I think 3.

[serene reef]

asjfhakjsf

[tacit zenith]

True.

[serene reef]

if i were you rn

id be prob trying to search drawers

to get a lucky ssd

[brittle canyon]

lol why

[serene reef]

barter for 120 BS ammo cause of the event from prapor 1

and use the 54539 AKs

[brittle canyon]

oh shit that’s a thing right

[serene reef]

that caliber lacks a bit in DMG

but bs ammo is way too good

its the peek performance

even with a stock ak with no sight

you're gonna be onetapping people

and 3 shots to thorax even for those pesky lvl 4/5 armors?

[brittle canyon]

three tapping

!wiki ballistics

[broken quail]

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

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Ballistics

Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.

[serene reef]

yeah 51 pen

easily goes through t5 armor

[tacit zenith]

...

[brittle canyon]

yeah ak74 craft in wb1 only needs weapon parts which you can also craft

so

[serene reef]

you should never focus on the hideout pre15

if you can get items you need on your way on quests etc

[brittle canyon]

lol what

[serene reef]

thats huge

[brittle canyon]

hideout is priority 1

[pure finch]

Are lab acces cards worth something

[serene reef]

but to 15 it should be a sprint

then when you get flea you do hideout things

late in the wipe at least

[spiral flicker]

bro loud M1A sounds so good

[serene reef]

early in the wipe you should gather hideout needed resources and sell them on flea

soooo much money

normal hoses going for 100k

mil tubes or power filters

1 MILLION!

rubles

they should add a tool for inventory

that allows you to push all items from sorting table into a container

[vagrant cargo]

big select

move many item

[serene reef]

yeah thatd be amazing too

[wheat cypress]

About 300k

In rub

[serene reef]

are they?

[marsh harbor]

have there been any news on the wipe?

[serene reef]

people are speculating

myself as im in the niceguy cult

[marsh harbor]

June-ish?

[serene reef]

i do believe this is the start of introduction for the lighthouse

and we might even see an expansion rn

but its still a lot till wipe

[marsh harbor]

yea, streets were ... rumored a bit

[serene reef]

cause unless they wait and pull a massive update

there's no need

[marsh harbor]

what were the huge changes for this wipe?

[serene reef]

there's always a possibility a wipe will be on 28th even this month

[marsh harbor]

inertia

what else

[serene reef]

inertia, recoil changes

i forgot tbf check patch notes

i believe the biggest req for wipe next patch

[tacit zenith]

What are random pieces of fabric used for? Like fleece fabric.

[serene reef]

might be swappable plates from armor

etc

[brittle canyon]

barter, craft

[serene reef]

all the fabric is barter items

[brittle canyon]

literally wiki any item and it has a use

fleece has a bandage craft

etc

[serene reef]

the real mvps are aramid cordura and ripstop

[tacit zenith]

Thanks.

[serene reef]

as they can be used in higher lvl barters

like aramid and cordura 6x with 3 troopers for a slick

holy im so close

[kindred storm]

whats a good map for scav looting

[brittle canyon]

mira hq

[serene reef]

depends on what you want to get from your scav?

money?

i go factory

there;s not a lot of loot, but i want those scav runs short and i mostly do it for the +0.01 rep

+0.03 for pmcs

[kindred storm]

30mm HEAT rounds

[rain wing]

the fuck is a 30mm heat round

you mean ofz shells

[kindred storm]

yeah isnt OFZ HEAT

well, AT might be too much

but still

[rain wing]

just call it ofz

lmfao

[kindred storm]

ok

but thats not the point now

the point is where

[rain wing]

rb st

or rarely on your pscav

you can also craft

on workbench 3

[brittle canyon]

ofz is reserve only

[kindred storm]

by the way anyone knows the wiki editors someone oughta tell them ofz counts as rounds

[brittle canyon]

you are a wiki editor

just click edit

[kindred storm]

everything is closed source

[brittle canyon]

it’s literally a wiki

and it’s a moot point anyway since while it is in the ammo category no gun uses it yet

so it might as well be a barter item

[serene reef]

ofz shell is just a barter item anyway yeah

[kindred storm]

id count is as ammo

[rigid wind]

lmao found a gpu in factory

[serene reef]

Ayo nice

+250k

[kindred storm]

what should i do with the GP coin in my inventory

i wonder if i can afford a W-task

or permanently repair one of the guns

but i dont think i got any valuable ones

[brittle canyon]

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

GP coin

GP coin (GP) is an item in Escape from Tarkov.

[serene reef]

gp coon

[rain wing]

ammo in games would count as stuff you can actually use in weapons that are accessible to you in game

[serene reef]

maine coon but gold 👌

[kindred storm]

hey i got a maine coon

[rain wing]

the ofz shell doesn't function as a usable piece of ammunition

[kindred storm]

not YET

[rain wing]

and exists for the purpose of barters

[left summit]

did they nerf flechette ammo ?

[rigid wind]

maybe you got vs a slick

[kindred storm]

we will get there eventually

[brittle canyon]

then edit it to be an ammo once Streets drops and GRU strike forces in APCs fuck shit up

the mounted gun probably uses ofz

[kindred storm]

that depends, the APCs in question are supposed to be uhh

BTRs?

yeah BTRs

[serene reef]

hey cherky

do you want wiki to have info from the future or the present

do you want to know where this item spawns

or where it will probably spawn in the future?

[brittle canyon]

I mean just edit it anyway

if it’s shit someone will edit it back

[rain wing]

^

[serene reef]

you're only saying that because it literally doesnt matter if ofz shell is counted and ammo or barter

and prob the only reason its counted as a barter

is because when it was added, nobody wanted to make it ammo anytime soon

[kindred storm]

hm

[rain wing]

he plays squad it's in his nature

at least I think that's squad in his pfp

[kindred storm]

thats ready or not

i played squad thrice and never stayed in a session for more than 10 minutes

[brittle canyon]

so squad but you aren’t ready

that’s me every tuesday

[kindred storm]

yo holy shit i completed debut

finally

hey where do bolts spawn again

[serene reef]

when im playing customs

i mostly see then in tool crates and boxes

then caches

and then jackets

in that order when it comes to how often

[kindred storm]

ill probably just do interchange runs and look around the eastern corner

[brittle canyon]

just do toolboxes run in interchsnge

[kindred storm]

i know right

[rigid wind]

is it worth to use mcx with m62?

[serene reef]

think about it like of BP ammo

for 54539

34 pen vs 35 on BP

5 dmg more

[tacit zenith]

What's a decent sight for the AK I could get at level 3?

[rigid wind]

hmm so why use mcx at all? if 545 ammo is so simmilar

[serene reef]

from what i remb

[rigid wind]

kobra

[serene reef]

first sight you ever stick to is the kobra one

[rigid wind]

is my all time favorite

[tacit zenith]

That's from jaeger though, right?

[serene reef]

prapor

i think

[rigid wind]

or micropoint from peace

[tacit zenith]

Is it the Axion Kobra EKP-8-02 reflext sigh (dovetail)?

[serene reef]

both dovetail and the normal one are the same in this case

[kindred storm]

spawned in interchange close to the power station, such luck

holy fuck and i actually got bolts

[serene reef]

neat ^^

[tacit zenith]

And the normal one is Axion Kobra sight shade?

[kindred storm]

my scavs never spawn with a backpack its painful

[serene reef]

the shade is just a +1 ergo for being able to see less iirc

[bold kernel]

how can i up my scav rep

[prime comet]

dvl goes hard

[left summit]

i didnt even know i get extra rep for this nice

[ocean hedge]

I know roughly the basics and I’m just looking for ppl to play with and to learn a lot Idm about loot Idm just having what ever you leave dm me if anyone wanna play

[primal breach]

nice scav

[tacit zenith]

Can you do quests with a scav?

[primal breach]

rate the drip

[spiral sinew]

bro whats like a good gun for close-mid range

[tacit zenith]

Show how you look in the overall tab

[tacit zenith]

Sick drip bro

8.79/10

[bold kernel]

my drip better

[serene reef]

nice spot 👌

[tacit zenith]

That's bright as fuck

Is that what tripping balls looks like in tarkov

[cold fog]

Looks like the gamma is up pretty high

Or maybe the contrast

I kinda dig it

[tacit zenith]

The saturation is up too

Everything is

[cold fog]

Ooh yeah good call

[serene reef]

i dont dig this game when it looks like this

[cold fog]

True tho. The regular pallette is kinda drab

[serene reef]

although this is more doable

[primal breach]

these are my postfx

[tacit zenith]

I love the way the game looks normally. Has a very grim atmosphere which is one of the reasons I started playing tarkov.

[serene reef]

clarity and sharpen taxes fps

[serene reef]

it doesnt compare to stalker

[primal breach]

i dont care

i've got a good pc

[serene reef]

what is unique and amazing w/ this game is the lose it all looter shooter kinda vibe

makes your heart beat faster a

[tacit zenith]

Stalker isn't a high-stakes multiplayer mission based game.

[serene reef]

and makes even the experienced players become rats

[serene reef]

and thats where you're wrong

multiplayer maybe not

[tacit zenith]

yeah so i'm not

[serene reef]

but stalker anomaly which is a standalone mod (newest gen of mods)

you can easily play on ironman etc

[versed valley]

time to flex off my fortnite postfx

[serene reef]

which makes it as high of a stake or even higher than this game

[tacit zenith]

i tried playing with postfx like that and I saw neons at night

[serene reef]

id go as far to say, especially with all the stalker anomaly tarkov mods (eg scuffed bodyparts and healing etc saw even cms kits in there xD)

[tacit zenith]

Yeah but it's not a multiplayer matchmaking based game

[serene reef]

that there is a breed of stalker anomaly that went towards being kinda like singleplayer/offline tarkov

please dont mute me mods D:

[bold kernel]

mute her mods ^

[strong barn]

Im so colorblind I barely notice a difference in any of those pics lol

[bold kernel]

they are just over saturated tarkov

[serene reef]

im so not colorblind even 20 saturation makes a huge diff for me xD

[serene reef]

or more so colorized tarkov xD

Im not digging the

[bold kernel]

my old post fx when i used to play on shit graphics

[bold kernel]

please dont try them its so bad

[serene reef]

not digging the black and white tarkov xD

[serene reef]

oh god

i wanna see this

ASCEND INTO NEONS

[bold kernel]

cheeked up

[serene reef]

wait what

[shrewd shore]

Can please anyone help me do few shoreline quests?

[serene reef]

If you've no luck here you can always try #pvp-lfg

[slim fractal]

what are they

[serene reef]

wdym

[strong barn]

where is tron post fx settings

mall rave!!

[bold kernel]

all i found in chalet

nerfed?

[prime comet]

i think so

i dont find many rare spawns in water treatment now

[serene reef]

i mean lh wasnerfed quite some time ago

but they still spawn

just gotta hit more of them

[prime comet]

not in the last few days

they havent been

since the new barter things, lighthouse has felt worse off

[bold kernel]

new or what?

[prime comet]

no theyre not

[bold kernel]

they weird asf

[bold kernel]

i shoved two virtexes up my butt is what i mean

[narrow anchor]

anyone know where i can find tp-200 TNT brick

[strong barn]

search grenade boxes

[serene reef]

+1

[narrow anchor]

where i find those

[strong barn]

uhym

theres 3 in interchange that i know of

loads on reserve

[serene reef]

one is i factory underground in the expansion

one is near zb11 on customs

seen loads bh keys on resort

[narrow anchor]

i have been loking for awhile just cant find any

[strong barn]

they are not exactly a common item sadly

[narrow anchor]

yeah

[serene reef]

mmm idk

10 400 000 or 10 749 999

yeah someone just listen 10750000

xD

it actually got bought 👀

[prime comet]

Not worth imo

Not when you can barter a normal one for like 1.1mil

[serene reef]

the case that got listed

[serene reef]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[heady whale]

can someone tell me how to get the sg-c10

everytime i look for it on flee market nothing comes up

does that mean on one is selling?

[scarlet jetty]

Not everyone does the barters

[heady whale]

no*

[lofty egret]

yo, I have an issue where it doesnt matter if i fully gear up or just a little, I lose everything nonetheless and end up broke every time

[violet furnace]

So u just die, yes?

[lofty egret]

Yes, now in the beginning I die to random scavs mostly, I get onetapped so many times even though i have lvl 3 armor and lvl 3 helmet etc

[violet furnace]

Lvl 3 armor isn't that good

[solar salmon]

yeah cos level 3 armor isn't gonna stop anything above PS gzh

[strong barn]

I am at 2000 raids this wipe, and this still happens- to everyone haha
If you see level 50's running paca + no helmet...you now know why lol

[lofty egret]

yeah and I dont have any money to get better shit either

[violet furnace]

Try not dying, that could help

[lofty egret]

Hmmm

I never thought of that

[violet furnace]

Go scav only

[lofty egret]

Wait what if i just killed everyone too

[violet furnace]

Makes shit ton of monie

[lofty egret]

Yeah it's just annoying to have to wait 30 min

[violet furnace]

Like 500k easily on loothouse on woods

[strong barn]

A wise friend once told me
'if you quit losing, you'd win more' 🤷

[lofty egret]

I get fucked by landmines on woods lmao

I know about the signs but I've gotten blown up so many times on roads and random places that are not warned

[serene reef]

what level are you?

[lofty egret]

6

So mega beginner

[strong barn]

🙏

[serene reef]

then why are you talking about gearing up

[lofty egret]

Bro I am sitting on 6000 schmeckels atm

[serene reef]

thats when you go scav

and then pmc with a scav gun

and when we all say

[strong barn]

level 6 is just yeet arou d customs doing quests, no gearing up with level 2 strength and level 3 endurance :P

[serene reef]

dont die

we freaking mean it

play it all safe

avoid pvp and hotspots

[lofty egret]

Yeah, but seems kinda yikes to play once every half hour for

ever

[serene reef]

if your kit is 200k

if you make 200k and then next raid you die

[strong barn]

+1

[serene reef]

you at least didnt lose any money

if you survive 7 times in a row

you made 6x200k

which is 1.2mil

now you can say survive 7 times in a row sound hellish

[lofty egret]

Nah it doesnt

[serene reef]

not if you avoid players like fire

[lofty egret]

But I try to avoid players as much as I can

[serene reef]

and get any items from where people dont really go

also 200k is a SMOL haul

[lofty egret]

Yeah I get that

[serene reef]

200k is an expensive kit

[lofty egret]

Yeah you can get pretty good gear from traders with that

[serene reef]

esp at high lvl

thats enough for a mmac headphones and an rfb with m80 and a scope

and a backpack

[lofty egret]

Which loadout would you recommend first getting?

[strong barn]

Even now i wont spend more than 150-200k on my entire gear set unless Im going ,chunky

[prime comet]

200k expensive?

[lofty egret]

Like everything, including medical items

[prime comet]

i spend that on my adar

[strong barn]

Its relative obv

[prime comet]

rip

[serene reef]

200k isnt that much xD

but for when youre questing

[prime comet]

yeah i mean on a budget, it's probably good

[serene reef]

yh

[prime comet]

for me i'd spend about that tbf

[serene reef]

for me its budget

for others its not

[strong barn]

ye tossing 200k a raid on questing is a savage waste

[serene reef]

you see

thats where how you do things comes into play

my pmc kda is above 1

[lofty egret]

But when I buy gear now, its PACA, Some lvl 3 helmet, comtac 2, some Vepr, splints, bandages, painkillers, water, snacks

[serene reef]

ive been running mostly guns that i never actually bought or modded

[lofty egret]

And also backpack and the other thing too ofc

[serene reef]

for like over a month now xD

[prime comet]

you'd hope so

[serene reef]

hope?

[prime comet]

kda includes scavs too

[lofty egret]

Which scav runs would you recommend?

[prime comet]

my surv rate is low

[lofty egret]

Obv daytime

[prime comet]

but it's my first real qipe

wipe

so it's fine

[lofty egret]

I know factory and reserve well

[serene reef]

mine is low cause i do random stuff like go impact nade people cqc

im playing the game to have fun

without any regard for stats

[serene reef]

i go factory cause i dont need the loot

i want the rep

run through or pmcs

i'd say its not important which map you choose

[lofty egret]

But what would you recommend for someone that needs the loot

[serene reef]

but what is more important is how well you know that map

[slim fractal]

i would do factory when you have a small rig and no backpack and hope to get something from a dead scav or player, do lighthouse shoreline or customs when you have space to loot

[lofty egret]

ahhh aight

[serene reef]

no 4real tho dont let others tell you that this map is better or this is better

[lofty egret]

nah i know

[serene reef]

it means nothing compared to your map knowledge

[lofty egret]

I like reserve

[serene reef]

if you know reserve well

[slim fractal]

but on factory, be prepared to get shot in the back by a loot goblin scav

[narrow anchor]

i cant find thsi tp-200 TNT brick to save my life

[serene reef]

do that, its a loot rich map

• reserve you can farm raiders even as scav

or at least ive seen people do that

[slim fractal]

honestly on lighthouse, i have not died once as a scav, it never goes bad

[serene reef]

lh + village

[prime comet]

now you've cursed it

[serene reef]

good scav option

[lofty egret]

What is the difference between raiders and scavs?

[serene reef]

scavs are your friends

you lose rep for killing them

theyre friendly

if you have high rep

[lofty egret]

yeah that I know

[serene reef]

if you shoot a player that has high rep

other scavs will now kill you

so you get help from scavs

[lofty egret]

Can you check your own rep?

[slim fractal]

or yell at you really bad

[serene reef]

raiders are better at shooting

they are danger noodles

but you cna kill them and you dont lose rep

their gear is also diff

[whole thistle]

Raiders have better gear, aim, and teamwork

[whole thistle]

It's your fence rep

[bold kernel]

customs stash run, lighthouse

[slim fractal]

rogues are homies, they don't shoot you, but if you kill them, you better run fast, and for the next few raids they kill you if you are a scav

[serene reef]

see idk about that

i s2g

[lofty egret]

yeah I have -1.56

Yikers

[serene reef]

my aggro doesnt transfer

[slim fractal]

💀

[serene reef]

that heavily affects your scav timer

[whole thistle]

It doesn't for scavs

[opaque elbow]

usecs get yelled at by rogues, bear faction tho it's on sight xD

[serene reef]

6rep with intel 3 last wipe was 6minutes wait time for scavs

[slim fractal]

i bet you get makarov and sling for your scav with that karma

[lofty egret]

How do you get better rep then?

[serene reef]

not even for pmcs i think or i prob never actually asked LOL

[slim fractal]

do car extracts

[whole thistle]

Hey man I need a found in raid Makarov
