lmao

what happen to all your money?

[simple cipher]

any specific sight i should get

[night zealot]

there was never any money in the first place

[kind kelp]

dont you start with 500k?

[shell kindle]

so long ago

[night zealot]

that was 20 levels ago

[kind kelp]

maybe its just cause i havent unlocked flea market yet

im lvl 12

[bold kernel]

Money is not as important as people think it is

[kind kelp]

i mean it buys you guns 👀

[bold kernel]

He has guns in his inventory, so..

[shell kindle]

eh you need it for some stuff

cases

hideout

stash upgrades

[mint light]

bro has 2 mil

[bold kernel]

Yeah, you cant have millions every single moment lol

[shell kindle]

buy a junkbox

ive been sitting between 7-9 mil

waiting for rag 3 to get the stash upgrade

[bold kernel]

Cant wait til money is no longer meta lol

[shell kindle]

thats never gonna happen

[mint light]

what does that even mean

[bold kernel]

It will just watch

[shell kindle]

although it kinda is not meta already

you need traders to get the good shit now

[mint light]

guys we will remove money everything is free

[shell kindle]

like having 50mil at level 20 does nothing

[lost sky]

Hoe hwas interchange loot runs been for people?

[mint light]

money is more important than ever

[bold kernel]

Lmfao

[shell kindle]

not when everything used to be on flea

[kind kelp]

youre right

[bold kernel]

Remember when there was no flea market.. good times

[mint light]

this name is actual slander

[kind kelp]

idk how to read

so idk what that means

[bold kernel]

You can read it, cant comprehend it.

[kind kelp]

????

[bold kernel]

Im taco

[night zealot]

alright im going in how long till i die with my last kit

[bold kernel]

30 seconds and a half

[night zealot]

overestimating me i see

[bold kernel]

Do it in under 5 parsec's

[night zealot]

just 10 scav kills i can do this

i believe in myself

[bold kernel]

May god matrix any bullets that cometh your way

[kind kelp]

Hopefully the bullets ricochet off your helmet, off the wall, off the ceiling, off the pipes, and kill the scav who shot you in the head

[rigid light]

Lads, how long does it take for one GPU to mine one Bitcoin

Does it actually cover the cost fuel

[simple cipher]

can i resell something back to the traders

[viral elm]

Way overpriced

[mint light]

overpriced dosent mean bad

well i guess its bad if ur broke

[blissful cairn]

ultra chad

[night zealot]

i did indeed escape tarkov

with 3 whole scav kills aswell

[bold kernel]

Lol

[magic hawk]

Hello I’m new to the game does anyone want to play

[prime comet]

So watching a video on the mcx

[night zealot]

also made back enough for another kit when i lose this one

[prime comet]

It actually looks kinda good for dorms/resort

[magic hawk]

Hello is anyone on tarkov willing to help a newcomer

[mint light]

i like it but only with ap ammo

[night zealot]

im a new cumer aswell

[prime comet]

Yeah that’s what I’m looking at

Ap ammo for it is comparable to bp

[mint light]

i think m62 has pen similar to ps ammo with more fire rate

[prime comet]

And the gun had 150 more rpm

[magic hawk]

Okay because I’ve basically lost everything I didn’t know how the game worked

[prime comet]

I’ll give it a go tomorrow I think

[magic hawk]

I got an mp5 and a knife

[prime comet]

Do you know much better now?

[kind kelp]

and a dream

dont forget about that

[magic hawk]

Yup now I know 😂 still a few things it’s also first pc I came from Xbox

[prime comet]

Ok in that case

Reset your account and run it back

You’ll lose less if you know a bit more 🙂

[bold kernel]

Dont reset your account thats bad advice lol

Run a scav straight to extract on factory, sell and repeat

[prime comet]

I mean no, not really, it’s what I did when I got to grips of things at like level 12

[bold kernel]

Keep trying and keep dying, only way to improve.

[prime comet]

Learned how not to waste what I had early on, used it for better situations

[full marsh]

scav interchange and hit ground caches

[bold kernel]

Focus tasks

[bold kernel]

I died like a man, and turned broke into loot. Also im a taco, dont eat me.

[prime comet]

Yeah but you can avoid going broke when you know what not to do and you have the gear to survive lmao

[spiral sinew]

if you learn some money runs you don't even need gear

except a backpack ig

[bold kernel]

Thats the whole point, we all got fucked in the learning process.

[shell kindle]

Mcx can’t hit shit beyond 30 meters

[prime comet]

It has the same accuracy as the Meta mutant at 100m

[bold kernel]

Run scav to factory extract for money rinse and repeat

Keeps the money flowing simple and quick

[spiral sinew]

you'll die of boredom tho

[night zealot]

why are pscavs so fucking stupid

like holy shit

stop fucking shooting scavs dude holy shit

[prime comet]

Never

[night zealot]

i cant scav factory because im being shot every time i go in

[prime comet]

I shoot juiced pscavs

[night zealot]

fucking idiots man

[prime comet]

Don’t @ me

[shell kindle]

I possibly may be confusing it with the mpx

[night zealot]

trying to get these half masks and these dumbasses keep shooting me

[shell kindle]

don’t run factory for that lol

[night zealot]

i spawned with it

[bold kernel]

Factory is easy

[shell kindle]

I mean you could but you need to know how to extract

Reserve is the freeest extract

For me

[night zealot]

i walked to the fucking extract

and he blasted me

[shell kindle]

Factory kind of a shitshow

Spend an extra minute for a literally free extract

[spiral sinew]

which one

[bold kernel]

Factory was a nightmare in alpha, its laid back these days, no autoloading 60 rounders and healing without animations mid combat.

[night zealot]

office

[shell kindle]

Sounds like fun lol apm

[spiral sinew]

yeah nah

if you wanna extract go underground

no one goes there

[shell kindle]

I would learn reserve scav tbh

Better than factory

[spiral sinew]

that's how I made millions before lighthouse

[shell kindle]

For runs you just want the spawn loot

[spiral sinew]

but yeah everyone on reserve now for tech

even scavs shoot on sight

[magic hawk]

Yo you guys wanna group up??

Reset that account

[rare totem]

todays raids have been hell how bout yall

[prime comet]

Died about 5 times, juiced up in labs

Then gave up and played elden ring

[rare totem]

havnt played labs yet this is my first wipe and i just cant things going the second i have some money built up i die over and over again

[magic hawk]

You guys want to run some raids together?

[prime comet]

Nah, I’m about to sleep

[rare totem]

who?

[prime comet]

Work in the morning

[magic hawk]

Anyone I’m still new to the game I’m down to play

Looking for good friends that I can play with more

[rare totem]

im down for a few raids

u can add me its killemdeadgg

[magic hawk]

Bet bet

Just sent it

You have a mic and I’ll be able to hear you in game right

[viscid kraken]

im so bad at this game i wiggle back at AI

[blazing brook]

the fact that i can find this in 10 seconds in chalet is stupid lol

[spiral sinew]

average lighthouse loot

[blazing brook]

ye

no btc today :(

[spiral sinew]

there's some ez spawns for btc

if u wanna check

[signal ermine]

do gun presets that you have saved get deleted after the wipe?

[spiral sinew]

did for me

[signal ermine]

ok ty

[robust rock]

Presets are reset with every wipe

[signal ermine]

just wondering if it was worth saving the gunsmith presets

[robust rock]

I usually save them just incase a friend needs them

[signal ermine]

yeah fair enough

[robust rock]

Or atleast if I have free time go ahead and save the presets for gunsmiths I dont have yet to make it easier when I get to them

[signal ermine]

i just send them a tutorial lol

[viscid kraken]

if this is the average loot for lighthouse i think im playing all the wrong maps

[robust rock]

Every map has potential for a shit ton of loot if you learn how to loot them

except maybe factory

[night zealot]

do sniper scavs count for scav kills?

[robust rock]

Yes

[night zealot]

ty

[robust rock]

any AI

[signal ermine]

wait.. do raiders count for scav kills?

[robust rock]

I am pretty sure

[fallen zealot]

no

[proud tide]

so i had someproblem that i needed to reinstall tarkov but the problem is that i dont have enough space to do it so i wanted to uninstall the tarkov that i have rn and just reinstall it but i cant find out how i can find the launcher but not the acutal game with the 25gb+ file

[night zealot]

ive made it out of shoreline twice in a row as a solo this is crazy

[spiral sinew]

youll never have to meet another PMC to make millions on lighthouse

[robust rock]

It should be in the same directory as the launcher

[proud tide]

so just delete the lauucher ?

[robust rock]

No

Go to live and there is an uninstall.exe

[blazing brook]

ffs i kill 3 rogues which is difficut for me and had been in that raid for 20 mins as scav, pscav said r u friendly an i said ye, he came round the corner saw me and killed me

wtf man

[spiral sinew]

baited

[night zealot]

why would you trust a pscav as a pmc lmao

[blazing brook]

i was scav

as well

[lost sky]

how are interchange raids rn? know a lot of hideout items are down low

[night zealot]

oh nvm

[robust rock]

@proud tide That work?

[proud tide]

it did thx

[viscid kraken]

i only did 3 interchange raids this week, they were all dead or with people minding their own business

[robust rock]

If you want pvp go interchange at night. You dont need nvg bc it is inside and that is where people go for chumming pmc kills

[lost sky]

ah feel like even when dead loot idk if it has been nerfed?

[robust rock]

Does your brain broken?

[viscid kraken]

it's still the best for basic hideout stuff and food, but most good loot is in duffle bags/hidden stashes

[bold kernel]

Repetition is the key to improving at anything

[robust rock]

So just wiggle at the ai until you can't anymore

[bold kernel]

wiggle with such confidence that they cant refuse but to wiggle back

[robust rock]

Wiggle until you seduce them

[bold kernel]

Wiggle until you are naked and forgot to load your firearm

[robust rock]

Yes

[lost sky]

I mean heard the key rooms have been nerfed no?

[robust rock]

No- the english in that sentence just hurt my brain

I had no clue what you were trying to say

[lost sky]

even if there is a lot of loot because it is dead, it feels like loot has been nerfed

[robust rock]

Ah

Keys and loot on everymap was nerfed with the beginning of this wipe

Kiba is still kiba but ultra is ass

11sr sucks for loot as well

21ws is stil the same

[spiral sinew]

so is kiba still good? haven't used mine

[robust rock]

Yeah

I always hit kiba

[spiral sinew]

should probably do some reserve runs

not sure what gun to take tho

[robust rock]

and assault rifle or dmr

any*

[shell kindle]

shotty

[spiral sinew]

what's a good ar

[robust rock]

there are a lot

[viscid kraken]

correct, kiba and medical aren't as good as they used to be, killa stash is kinda good but what makes interchange special is that there's a lot of okay loot not locked behind doors

[spiral sinew]

full auto ones

[robust rock]

AKM, fal, ash-12, 7.62 mdr, mk-47, mcx

Val

Scar h

There is no definite answer

Preference plays a lot into the equation

If you get used to using a shitty 90 recoil ak with ps ammo you will win fights against a guy using a meta m4 for the first time

[spiral sinew]

ye true

I'll try smth ig

[robust rock]

Generally 7.62x39 BP and 7.62x51 M80 or M62 are your best options no matter the gun.

5.56 or 5.45 are only good if you can hit head or straight thorax on pmcs and even then scavs and other ai can typically take a headshot

[lost sky]

I see kiba key worth still buying?

[spiral sinew]

yeah not a big fan of those

[robust rock]

I feel like it is worth

[spiral sinew]

i got a bunch of reserve keys that I've never used

better be worth

[rose trellis]

i hate shoreline
go to room 306
grab the thing
die before even getting out of resort
there is no fun way to do this mission

[atomic talon]

its time

[lost sky]

try night

[rose trellis]

good suggestion

with nv or just running pistol blind?

[lost sky]

nv is really cheap

like I think 100k less?

if you also have other keys usually resort shoreline is dead

if you wanna loot other stuff

[rose trellis]

like a slock and nv is like 80k

[lost sky]

I never really pistol run but if you wanna go cheap rfb

is like 40-50k and you slap a scope on

[rose trellis]

the main reason i dont do night is the cultists

they scary

[lost sky]

because there can be cultists

its like a 30% chance

[rose trellis]

oh really?

i thought it was 100%

[lost sky]

yeah not guaranteed

[rose trellis]

if i just go through the back can i avoid them altogether

[jagged laurel]

M61 thou

[lost sky]

uhh I think they roam resort sometimes idk the spawns really

I just know maps that spawn cultists its around 1/3 of the time

[jagged laurel]

Yeah east and west

They spawn also spine and path to lh

[lost sky]

if you are having trouble with the quest sometimes people help each other #pvp-lfg

[rose trellis]

also is gunsmith 5 even possible before peacekeeper ll3

like i can wait

still annoying tho

[lost sky]

is that the one with

rsaas/

or whatever gun

[rose trellis]

yes

[lost sky]

if the barter is pk lvl 3 basically yeah

or if you have a friend they can give you the gun

[jagged laurel]

Or fir

[karmic axle]

ffs

i just died to sanitar again

[primal breach]

gaming

[jagged laurel]

Yesss labs?

Because that is my go to for labs

[primal breach]

on labs i'll just die to a hacker

resort

[jagged laurel]

Fair

[somber rain]

Holy lord of loot

48.3 kilos going into raid 😭

Good luck at resort

[primal breach]

lmao

[jagged laurel]

Was so sad went slick altyn one raid 90 kilo as Val raider with bp gs kills me

[primal breach]

im close to elite strength

[somber rain]

Ah, makes sense

[primal breach]

just 5 levels

[jagged laurel]

Next raid gets deleted by a cheater in parking

[somber rain]

Labs moment

[jagged laurel]

Who shot me from the garage when I was at violet

Through the door like respect

But damn

But idk legit labs raids hit different

[somber rain]

I haven't ran labs since last wipe

Also, any tips for shoreline specifically?

I've ran about 6 raids to do humanitarian supplies and I've died each time

[jagged laurel]

Depends

How good at pvp are you

[somber rain]

Alright

[stone surge]

if your sole goal is humanitarian, it's not too hard. Make sure you enter from the back of resort (not the front or east/west entrance). Just make sure to avoid entering resort.

[somber rain]

Not the best

[mint light]

dont play shoreline and play labs instead

[somber rain]

Dawg I don't even have prapor 3 rn 😭

I'm just trying to task

[stone surge]

Playing labs doesn't solve your quest.

[shell kindle]

damn you fast

[somber rain]

Nah fr

[shell kindle]

i have prapor 3 and are not even close to humanitarian

[somber rain]

I need levels

Not rep

[shell kindle]

quests give xp though

[somber rain]

I'm trying to get pk 3 rn

[somber rain]

There is a reason I died 6 times in a row

I was kind of uh, trying to do a quest.

[stone surge]

Trust me, enter from the back of shoreline resort and you shouldn't have many problems really. The sweaty's will be either inside the resort or in east/west wing, but you can pretty easily get ur task done by just sweeping by that truck

and going for the extract.

[jagged laurel]

Sj6 3btg go in geared if you have the money kill people by listening for them in the hall way or pulling nades remember people camp sky bridge be careful when crossing if going solo always have pk popped for balcony jumping to reposition bring stims like propital zaugustin and etgc audio in resort is fked so be careful

[stone surge]

Yes, sj6 is worth it too.

100%

[jagged laurel]

You can also go with a duo who knows it

[stone surge]

if you can afford it that is. It helps you survive the long walk to the resort in the open field

[somber rain]

My duo quit tarkov for rust 😭

[shell kindle]

or just take your time and go at night

and dont see anyone

[jagged laurel]

If you want to rat sit in a bush outside resort then w key in and get out

[jagged laurel]

Night has too many cheaters on shoreline

[shell kindle]

maybe

[somber rain]

Plus, I get killed from people I cant see anyway on daytime

[shell kindle]

scavs arent as rude though

[stone surge]

yea and there's cultist who are yikes if you're pretty new and happen to slide by the heli

[jagged laurel]

Fair

But he’s going to want to learn day for punisher

[stone surge]

cultist spawn all over shoreline too if you're unlucky

[somber rain]

Scavs are fine, getting shot in the head by a pmc sitting in a bush isn't

[jagged laurel]

If your lucky you mean

Outside east wing oooo baby

Free loot

[stone surge]

I gave up on cultist on customs, they just dont spawn. Shoreline there's a slight higher chance but it takes ages to check all their spawns and then extract

and then the priest never drops anything other than a useless dorm key 😦

[mint light]

woods cultists

😳

[stone surge]

They hit different

fuck those 😛

My only luck is going with thermal against them on woods, but since they're cold blooded it's still not an easy task/journey

[tepid trench]

hi

[jagged laurel]

Hi flee before you become engulfed and become Nikita’s next meal

[tepid trench]

uh oh

[jagged laurel]

It’s actually a great game just very addicting and frustrating at times has a level of intensity that can make grown men cry

[tepid trench]

yeah

[jagged laurel]

But great game if you can deal with it

[tepid trench]

i havent been able to exfil yet

[jagged laurel]

Try running with a duo who can help you out

Or reach out to someone at

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[tepid trench]

what is a good spot for looting

[primal breach]

should i buy a new zabralo or keep using that one

[jagged laurel]

There’s loot everywhere

[primal breach]

cuz normal durability is 85

[jagged laurel]

But any largish map has a large uncontested loot pool generally

[stone surge]

There's no 'best' map in Tarkov. Every map has plenty of loot and the most profitable is the one map you know the 'best'.

imo atleast.

[tepid trench]

ohh ok

[jagged laurel]

Labs is logistically the best if there are no cheaters and your good at pvp

[tepid trench]

i keep going reserve and there is like nothing after looting all the map

[tepid trench]

gotcha

[jagged laurel]

You probably don’t know the spawns

[tepid trench]

nope

[jagged laurel]

But don’t go labs 😂 you will die every raid

[stone surge]

Reserve has a TON of loot and has one of the heaviest pvp in tunnels/D2 imo it exceeds labs pvp atm

[tepid trench]

I'll definitely wait till i get better

[stone surge]

but the extracts are annoying for a new player

[jagged laurel]

Yeah find someone to help you out join a 2 man and post what channel your in and ask for a chill player to help you learn the game

[stone surge]

so i generally don't recommend it at first

[jagged laurel]

#pvp-lfg

[stone surge]

For a new player I think Interchange and Customs are probably the most forgiving to play.

[jagged laurel]

Probably woods shoreline or lighthouse would be good to start plenty of rubles and fairly easy to avoid pvp

[stone surge]

Especially interchange is super slow paced and big.

[jagged laurel]

Used to be true

Not this wipe or this late

Too many people playing it for the pvp feel

[stone surge]

It's just that customs has to many quests that you are forced to play there pretty much, thats why i recommend it.

you kinda have to learn it the hard way late wipe

But aside from quests, Interchange is super forgiving to play

most 'chads' hate that map, because of rats and the slow paced playstyle there

and it's dark

[jagged laurel]

Fair but I would recommend he learn how to extract first and basic movement and learning noises

[stone surge]

but yea what map like I said, really depends what you enjoy the most. Some people love interchange and others hate it.

[jagged laurel]

Yeah but you get the interchange only players “cheaters” who either know every spot or cheat due to the killa farming

[stone surge]

Some swear by Reserve or lighthouse, others hate it and never play it

they're all profitable if you know them.

[jagged laurel]

Lighthouse is good for making money probably better than reserve tbh but not a fun map to play

Reserve is good for loot and pvp more fun map but less insane loot

Labs is the pinnacle of both but tons of cheaters

[stone surge]

Yea reserve is very profitable atm but mostly due to pvp. Rush Black bishop/king and going into tunnels to kill raiders/players and then head for red rebel extract is almost guarenteed full backpack of loot if you manage to get out.

it's just not recommended for a new player

but even looting the bunkers with the 4 keys can net you a lot of sugar and whatnot

[jagged laurel]

Yup main problem is wall peak

[stone surge]

and there's barely pvp there

[jagged laurel]

True but how are you going to extract without rr

That’s the main problem

[stone surge]

Yup

Reserve is just not good without RR

D2 is just not ok, you'll not always die going there, but even dying a few times there is enough to make it a bad experience

[jagged laurel]

Ehhh if you can pvp d2 ain’t bad just gotta have experience

[stone surge]

D2 is hard to fight too. Even if you wanna fight the D2 campers, it's such a horrible spot to fight

if they have 3 people setup there, you can almost not win as a solo

even with full meta gear

the angles just suck

[jagged laurel]

Yeah takes time I almost always go just because I have money and so if I die too a camper I’m not too sad but if I kill the camper happy hedgie

[stone surge]

the best chance is going from dome, but even then the chance of winning against 2-3 people is slim

[jagged laurel]

#nades4ever

[stone surge]

yea but good D2 campers sit in the hall on top of the server racks

[jagged laurel]

If I kill all the raiders

[jagged laurel]

Fair

[stone surge]

you can't nade there

because you're in a chokepoint

and they'll throw nades back too if they hear you there opening a good

door*

[jagged laurel]

Nade bounce with m67 and then just jiggle peak

[shell kindle]

do people actually do that now

[jagged laurel]

Oh yeah

All the time

[shell kindle]

i have literally never seen anyone there, although I havent played reserve in like a month

i mean like now now

not traditionally

[jagged laurel]

Killed a 5 man with a lvl 67 all camping with zabralo and mutant

[prisma venture]

any1 wanna play im needing help

[jagged laurel]

#pvp-lfg

[shell kindle]

like yesterday?

[jagged laurel]

Two days ago

[shell kindle]

kk

[jagged laurel]

Just had to take it slow

[stone surge]

or the classic. Sit in D2 with a cooked impact

and just wait for the door to open and throw it

[jagged laurel]

One tried that

At the very end

But open door and run

And pray to god shrapnel doesn’t kill you

[stone surge]

yea but this is still why I hate recommending Reserve to new players 😛

[sharp parrot]

Anyone wanna squad up for pmc or scav idc

[primal breach]

should i use 90% durability zabralo

yes, right?

76.7 dura

[jagged laurel]

But I went slick bastion labs dude was camping red with lapua ap

[jagged laurel]

That’s fine under 50 no

[stone surge]

if you want it

[primal breach]

or should i buy a new one

[jagged laurel]

I generally let it get to 58

[stone surge]

I personally hate zebralo and sell it

i dont like the movement penalties that come with it

[prisma venture]

best spot to drop for beginner?

[jagged laurel]

Good if you have max strength

[jagged laurel]

Labs 😌

[stone surge]

i mean im maxed out skills and still hate it

[jagged laurel]

Personal preference

[stone surge]

the movement speed reduction & the rotation reduction kinda sucks

[jagged laurel]

I have 4 sens on my mouse for different armor types

Just raised my dpi slightly feels the same

[stone surge]

CPC/hexgrid + Bastion+plate anytime over that 😛

[viscid kraken]

im a new player but enjoy reserve way more than other maps

[primal breach]

im 46 strength

im so close

[jagged laurel]

Yeah if you can make it work good for you

[primal breach]

why cant it go faster

[stone surge]

without max str zebralo just sucks hands down

[jagged laurel]

Then run it free weight training

[primal breach]

true

zabralo is still good for protection when u r not elite strength

what armor is claass 6 and protects arms, stomach, thorax

[jagged laurel]

Go shoreline and just Sj6 to resort you’ll get it quick I’ve had max end/streng since week two

[jagged laurel]

Thor

[primal breach]

thor is not as drippy

thor ugly

[jagged laurel]

Tan man disagrees

[stone surge]

well, i'm not gonna start a big discussion about armors since it's beginner assistance. But 'arm' protection is not always a positive

since it basically reduces effective thorax protection

[high pagoda]

Yo how kill killa

[stone surge]

and it could mean a faster death compared to having just thorax protection.

[jagged laurel]

Zabralo durability makes up for it

[jagged laurel]

Spam left click or impact

[primal breach]

i like me some arm protection

has saved my life

[high pagoda]

ok impact

[stone surge]

well yea zebralo is pretty neat, this is mostly against gen4 assault/full

[primal breach]

every time i wear a slick, i die to either stomach, legs or arms

or headshot cuz im not wearing heavy helmet

bye now

[stone surge]

well yea thats why im saying, run what you want* 😛

[primal breach]

?

wdym run

[jagged laurel]

Run it

[stone surge]

yea run it if you like the zebralo, I mean I personally don't run it and don't like it. But who am I to say you shouldn't run it.

[jagged laurel]

Literally I tell this to everyone run your good kit at least once a session

[stone surge]

it's not bad either

Same with Altyn/rys-T. It's 100% a good helmet. Capable of tanking m62 shot

but it's an aquired taste, not everyone likes it

[mint light]

ryst is best helmet in the game

[jagged laurel]

Bastion with plate thou

[vital isle]

Yes

[vital isle]

Face

[mint light]

at that point wear the vulkan

[jagged laurel]

I like ears

[mint light]

i dont

[vital isle]

Yes

[jagged laurel]

On a lot of maps

[stone surge]

That's what I mean 😛 I personally think the bastion+plate is better.

[mint light]

i removed mine

long ago

[jagged laurel]

If I’m going to dorms or d2 rys t all the way

[stone surge]

but it's all personal preference in that regard since they dont offer the same protection and at different areas.

[jagged laurel]

Mostly like it if I’m in a area people can flank really

[vital isle]

Best helmet for sniping lighthouse

[mint light]

if im directly fighting people its better to have a faceplate helmet but if ur a rat u would love ears

[jagged laurel]

Tagilla

[vital isle]

Wtf

[jagged laurel]

Idk if I’m moving a lot

[stone surge]

Rys-T is godlike in Resort imo, mostly because with high perception skill you can hear almost everything in the hall

and vertical audio is scuffed anyways

well, below you is scuffed

[mint light]

dont need audio i just run at people and die

[vital isle]

Razor or tac scope

[jagged laurel]

Ehhh I like ears in resort so much because of being able to hear if they jump up on a angle

[jagged laurel]

Razor

[vital isle]

Agreed

[jagged laurel]

Tac is landmark scope

He can make it work but def not a good scope

Well good budget scope

[vital isle]

Yea, it’s to girth for me

[stone surge]

Tac-30 Eye relief is what makes that scope bad

imo atleast

it's unuseable on automatic guns

[jagged laurel]

Oh yeah 💯

[vital isle]

I use t5000 with it sometimes

[stone surge]

Tac-30 on a mutant?

can't see shit after the first shot

[jagged laurel]

Zoomed out it’s useable

[terse turret]

are t12w's worth keeping?

[jagged laurel]

If I’m running a mutant with a Vudu as a viewer kit it better have a god damn dp

[stone surge]

I don't run anything other than vudu anymore other than occasionally the holo.

[vital isle]

What mount is the vudu on? 34mm

[jagged laurel]

30mm

[mint light]

i personally dont like anything more than 2x on auto guns

[stone surge]

30mm and I recommend the NF brand one

[vital isle]

That’s why I couldn’t find it

[mint light]

30mm for them snipers and dmrs

[stone surge]

because it's closer to the gun

so it gives you more vision

and for some reason it feels like it scopes in faster, but that could be placebo

[urban wolf]

my pmc got the stick

[stone surge]

Cultist looking ass

:p

[gusty glacier]

How do you get in contact with a sherpa

[jagged laurel]

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[gusty glacier]

And I go there and they help me learn the game?

[mint light]

no they will yell at you the entire time

[jagged laurel]

Yeah they can answer questions

[jagged laurel]

^

[mint light]

they will make you cry

[jagged laurel]

I remember first wipe being described as a drowning child funny but at the same time horrible sight to watch

[magic hawk]

anyone want to group up and run some raids

[mint light]

#pvp-lfg

[stone surge]

The good old days

back when labs was fun and there were no blatant cheaters.

[mint light]

me getting one tapped while jumping

@blazing bay did u see god of war cinematic

[stone surge]

yea cheaters weren't always flooded like they are now. it was especially bad when the SR-25 was released

around the VSS/Val meta

the most wacky shit came out in that wipe; people flying, people getting looted alive.

which was unheard of before.

[mint light]

💀

load into raid and ur shit slowly disappears

[stone surge]

Yup

[blazing bay]

Wdym? Did they release anything today?

[mint light]

no like the old ass one

for gow4

[blazing bay]

Think I did but I don’t remember it why?

[mint light]

idk i just watched it again i thought it was cool

[blazing bay]

yeah i just watched it its pretty futuristic

[cold fog]

accidentally ran into an exit camper on customs trying to find an extract. forgot you need a key for the fortress extract, went to leave the other way out, he was camping under the stairs. gdi

[mint light]

lol

he is probably ecstatic getting ur paca armor

[cold fog]

lmao. tbqh I didn't have much good on me, I don't think. mostly scav guns. best thing I had was like, the lowest tier of harness/armor combo

so enjoy buddy, was totally worth it

[jagged laurel]

ive actually seen it happen loaded in watched my mutant and slick disapeear

[mint light]

u collect scav guns?

[shell kindle]

did you read his name

[cold fog]

only cause I sell em if I don't get out with much other loot.

[mint light]

they are bad price per slot

[jagged laurel]

not if you dont have anything else

[cold fog]

not like they're really worth anything but considering I lose about 90% of my raids to my own incompetence it doesn't matter much right now lmao

[cold fog]

is this still true if its the gun on your back cause you only load in with one?

[mint light]

no but its heavy

[cold fog]

mm, true

then again, if I encounter anyone who's not a scav, I lose almost every fight. think I've killed PMCs maybe a few times

I lied I have 6 PMC kills

[jagged laurel]

thats the wrong mentality

[mint light]

what lvl are u?

[cold fog]

10

[mint light]

yeah i always assume im gonna shit on anyone

then i die

but

i thought i was gonna win so its fine

[jagged laurel]

even if you die but you go in with shit gear assuming your going to die and rat the whole time you wont improve

[cold fog]

see, if I go in expecting to do good, and die, I get mad. if I go in expecting to die, and die, its whatever, but if I do good, I'm happy I'm improving a little bit

[mint light]

do what carby does and kill scavs offline to get better 💀

[cold fog]

no need to get myself frustrated when I joined super late wipe and I'm way behind

[mint light]

and then ppl tell him that isnt helping and he wont listen

[cold fog]

just trying to do my tasks and slowly improve

lmao I don't count scav kills, they're dumber than I am, and that's an achievement

[serene reef]

So long you're lvl 15 you can play the game

[shell kindle]

eh main thing is to have fun

[serene reef]

That's when you get flea and that's bare minimum

[shell kindle]

whatever way you want to

[jagged laurel]

ok but if you go in excpecting to die your going to probably die or just rat when next wipe comes you should be able to pvp because you will be fighting for the same stuff

[shell kindle]

if thats killing scavs offline, then go do that

[jagged laurel]

you dont need to be a chad and rush every fight

[stone surge]

Yea dont focus on the wipe, it'll still prob be atleast a month away. Just keep in mind that learning the game takes hours and hours of practice and even though ur acc gets reset this wipe, your knowledge doesn't. You will be miles ahead of other new players when you start at next wipe if you put in the hours now to learn the game

[jagged laurel]

but go in with a good gear set once a session

[cold fog]

lmao my number of KIA raids

[mint light]

oh lawd

[serene reef]

Even going factory only with scavscab loadouts is huge for pvp practice

[shell kindle]

itll get better as you learn the maps

youll learn the bad spots and good spots

[serene reef]

Knowing things like right hand ans left hand peek

[mint light]

this is the only game soft plays

[stone surge]

right/lefthand peek is prob the least of your concerns if you dont know the map yet

[serene reef]

And cheesing bosses with no thorax peeks are life savers

[mint light]

polish people are obsessed with this game

[serene reef]

I mean you're right atm

[cold fog]

tbqh I am getting better, I can tell, because I'm dying almost never to scavs. when I first started, they killed me constantly. and PMCs have to work marginally harder because I know when to push/not usually. I even get hits in. like, when I find PMCs, I do go in trying to kill them and knowing I can. I just don't expect much out of myself yet

[serene reef]

Normally I play league valo as well

Osu today

[mint light]

not league

league is nasty

[cold fog]

but I am trying to PVP more, cause I know that's my weakpoint

[serene reef]

But I've been having too much fun on tarky

[mint light]

scavs be like

vonon cyka

am i right

[serene reef]

Got to 33mil for the first time without prewipe events

[jagged laurel]

run ok gear if your goal is to pvp and just go in and pvp until you die

[mint light]

soft i am going to beat u up

[serene reef]

Learned resort and shoreline better

Cultists

Etc

[serene reef]

What if I'll like it

[mint light]

even better babe

[serene reef]

Ewww no

[cold fog]

I'm gonna go play some Halo with my non existent friends now, I need a Tarkov break

[serene reef]

I was jk

[mint light]

LMFAO

[bold kernel]

dont worry bro im not much better lol

[serene reef]

It's important to take care of your mental in this game

[silver jewel]

20% sr isnt even that bad at that level

[serene reef]

Especially in this game

[bold kernel]

@silver jewel true just rough try to progress when you die that much

[serene reef]

Sr late wipe for new players means nothing

[cold fog]

lmao thanks bro. we'll get through it together

[bold kernel]

true that

[serene reef]

And in a flashy way

:D

[bold kernel]

i did kill a guy with a kitted out M4A1 earlier with a mosin lol

[mint light]

rush every fight and die

[serene reef]

Ayoo nice

[bold kernel]

: )

[mint light]

do not encourage people

this is tarkov

they must be angry

the entire time

[serene reef]

:C

[mint light]

grrrr

[serene reef]

But dad I want to be happy

[mint light]

dad 😳

[serene reef]

You don't deserve to be called dad 😝

Grow some balls

No offense tho

[mint light]

sorry daughter 😔

i will try

wanna see a cat fall in a milk bowl

[serene reef]

Poor cat

[mint light]

ITS SO FUNNY

BAHAHAH

[serene reef]

No it's not

🥲

[mint light]

THE CAT IS SO STUPID BAHAHAH

[serene reef]

Night

[mint light]

he ok tho

he drink the milk

[bold kernel]

@cold fog if you ever need help we can always try and die together in raid lol

[mint light]

try to have fun playing tarkov challenge (impossible)

[cold fog]

sounds good my man! I'll be back on in a few hours probably

[bold kernel]

no worries not sure when ill be playing again and have loot worth teaming with lol

my current loadout

[steel silo]

would anoyne wanna team up im only level 8 and pretty new and lookin to make some friends preferably higher levels so they could show me the ropes, just shot me a dm 17+ NAE must have mic

[bold kernel]

@cold fog

[mint light]

hell nah he got the grizzle in da pouch

[bold kernel]

bro i gotta cant be losing that

look at my money

[cold fog]

lmao my loadout is probably about as bad

[mint light]

grizzly 40k

[cold fog]

I can't remember exactly what it is

[mint light]

get a salewa in rig for ultra fast heals

grizzly take too long

[bold kernel]

i liked the grizzly since its a one stop shop

heals all

[mint light]

also takes forever to heal

cant use mid fight

[bold kernel]

i do so

idk i just run back for cover and use

[mint light]

bad players

[bold kernel]

also you can cancel the heal animation at 3 seconds to just get health

[thin yoke]

afaks are v good but expensive

[mint light]

the regen takes long

salewas are undoubtly the best meds

[thin yoke]

can salewas stop light/heavy bleeding as a last resort?

[bold kernel]

they eat too much health on the med

so i dont like it

[mint light]

can afaks have a use when they stop a bleed

salewas can also stop a heavy bleed lol

and a light

but again they are now useless

[thin yoke]

lmao

[mint light]

because bleeds take like almost all of ur health kit

[mint light]

u dont need a lot

if ur rly pushing u u should bring two salewas in rig and keybind them

[bold kernel]

@mint light https://youtu.be/l1-Bswu01_Y

i watched this video and the way he explains it makes since cost effective wise

since the heals for bleeds eat the others up pretty hard and plus you would be running more than one at a time more that likely

[mint light]

cost effective may be better for you

[bold kernel]

yeah for me it is

[mint light]

but im not poor

[bold kernel]

ok

[viscid kraken]

was lost in reserve doing bunker pt2 quest, found 3 raiders + 2 dead fully kitted pmc's... haven't done any progress in quest, but got out happy

[bold kernel]

hot loot wish i had that luck lol

[viscid kraken]

I wish I knew how to level up, I'm still lv15

[bold kernel]

same

[cold fog]

cries in level 10

[mint light]

play woods/reserve for free money

[bold kernel]

@cold fog once you make it to 15 it gets kinda easier not much but I’ll try to help you with quests

[viscid kraken]

my issue with tarky is the game becomes an entirely new game after 15

[mint light]

15 is ez if u task

[fossil tiger]

Need to kill PMCs with this ammo, which one should I go for? Im planning on using a AKS-74U

[mint light]

buy bt ammo from flea

all of those suck and bt is the best u can get on flea

[fossil tiger]

No flea

[mint light]

oh

i hate to break it to you

[fossil tiger]

pain yeah

do they all suck equally?

[mint light]

but your not gonna kill anyone with those ammo types

ur best bet is ps

but like

u can kill someone in lvl 3 armor tops

[fossil tiger]

no leg meta / head meta? I've killed pmcs with headshots using shitty 9x19 pst

[mint light]

u can headshot with good ammo too?

lol

leg meta on 5.45 is pointless u dosent shoot fast enough

[fossil tiger]

true but I cant buy good ammo, dummy

I would if I could

[mint light]

use ps

i guess

ur gonna have a rough time

[fossil tiger]

That's tarkov for ya I guess

things are def gonna be a lot easier once I fucking unlock the flea

[mint light]

is this punisher

[fossil tiger]

I can use like 4 guns and 4 shitty ammo types its awful

[cold fog]

not when all your tasks are on customs and you die there constantly

I'm so salty at myself

[mint light]

its a skill issue then innit

[cold fog]

I should be better than this

[mint light]

hate to be that guy

[cold fog]

nah you right

[fossil tiger]

this yeah omg its so fucking annoying

took me ages to get Prapor's quests done

[cold fog]

its definitely a skill issue. having the game less than 2 whole weeks will do that to a guy. not all me being news fault, I just suck rn

[mint light]

customs is literally the best map for pvp ong

labs is alright too many cheaty boys tho

[fossil tiger]

which is why it sucks if u wanna go there just for quests lmfao

[vapid flume]

Best map for mf rats

[mint light]

people who rat are pussys!!!

(real)

[fossil tiger]

lmfaooo I love the cut in the end, did u end up dying?

[vapid flume]

The cut is my guy falling after dying

[stone surge]

Reserve tunnels is straight up warzone in the weekends. I don't think anything comes close to that amount of pvp

[vapid flume]

Got a horrible marked and lost it STILL

I said at the end Oh yeah you wanna play with mosin? And just get tapped

[pure mist]

I’d go labs

[stone surge]

Labs isn't what it used to be.

[fossil tiger]

Yeah I keep hearing the map is dead and shit

[vapid flume]

Labs most of the time im dying to a dude with a scav ak whos floating

[stone surge]

nah even in populated labs servers, the pvp just isnt the same like it was before.

pre found-in-raid (and around when they introduced the weight system) was peak labs pvp. People played that map to kill and loot other players, not grind PC's and loot and scoot.

[mint light]

im gonna start playing reserve more

[viscid kraken]

I find questing at night with a flashlight somewhat successful in customs compared to day raids, just hope cultists dont spawn

[mint light]

reserve kinda good

[stone surge]

Reserve + tunnels during peak hour is the most diverse pvp you can get.

imo atleast.

[mint light]

i gotta improve my map knowledge on it

is it fun?

the rats seem at bit much

i usually scav there a lot tho

but ofc everyone is gone

[silver jewel]

rats up the ass

[mint light]

i dont plan on going to d2 very often

[viscid kraken]

I will be waiting for you if you ever take d2 extract

[mint light]

cliff descent

😳

[stone surge]

Reserve is pretty much dead in 5-10mins, so as a scav you won't experience the 'war' that happens in tunnels earlygame

[mint light]

do people camp cliff descent

[rain wing]

lighthouse scav again

[stone surge]

no cliff barely if ever has campers.

[mint light]

but u find dead people!!!

[rain wing]

oh hey other max

[stone surge]

You sometimes hear people in dome, but they dont have the time to kill you at extract

[mint light]

is it worth it to sit in the dome and snipe people

[stone surge]

With vudu you can just scope out dome before you head there also

not in my opinion, dome snipers are so easy to kill lol

[mint light]

yeah ppl will see you before u see them

[stone surge]

if they shoot even once, i'll rush dome because they're so easy to kill most of the time

[viscid kraken]

heating pipe snipers have a special place in hell

[stone surge]

• they're scared, so they camp and try not to make sound which is even better

[mint light]

the only way i know how to get into d2 is through dome tho

u can get into d2 from like almost every building right

[fossil tiger]

I've been doing a lot of Reserve runs and I've never gotten the chance to fight a dome sniper tbh

[stone surge]

well, Dome to D2, there's a door you passby

if you enter that door you end up in the tunnels.

where the button is

[fossil tiger]

I always check n see if someone is sniping but nothing

[viscid kraken]

there is somewhat a choke to d2, all buildings lead to that choke, but not d2 directly

[mint light]

i did my first scav pmc extract on reserve lol

i was feeling nice i didnt wanna dome him

he saw me and instead of shooting me he just went HEY

[obsidian dome]

how can i get a cms kit with lvl 1 traders or how to i repair a blacked limb what other thing could i use

[fossil tiger]

Pretty sure u can only repair a blacked limb with a Surv 12 kit or a CMS kit

[obsidian dome]

i know that i just dont know how to get them

[fossil tiger]

U find em

I have good luck finding CMS kits on Reserve for whatever reason

specially in the bunker

White bishop is full of em too

[obsidian dome]

ill keep en eye out im all oiut of them and i dont want to go in lol

[silver jewel]

also medstation level 1

[obsidian dome]

ty ill look into it

[bold kernel]

Yeahh took me forever to get my tasks to level up since I kept dying to high levels

[vapid flume]

solo customs at night in dead servers is mf terrifying

[bold kernel]

how do you even find a dead server?

[rain wing]

wtf

are they really this expensive

[deft pulsar]

I’m trying to download tarkov rn and it goes through the entire download process and while unpacking the files it fails and says “not enough disk space”. Is this a normal problem? I can’t find anything online and thought someone here can help

[rain wing]

it means exactly what it says

clear up space in your disk

[shell kindle]

not sure what you want help with

[rain wing]

lol

[shell kindle]

deleting files?

[vapid flume]

spain at really late ingame time

[deft pulsar]

So just free up some space and it should be good?

[rain wing]

^

[rain wing]

yeah

[shell kindle]

yes

[rain wing]

just restart the whole download process to be safe

[shell kindle]

i guess you are the first person to google that

congrats

[vapid flume]

Lol

[rain wing]

💀

[shell kindle]

it takes up more space than it downloads

[deft pulsar]

Sweet man thank you, I’m stupid and just wanted to make sure lol

[shell kindle]

it should say how much space it needs in the installer

[karmic axle]

lets goo

[shell kindle]

nice nice

[dawn geyser]

[vapid flume]

out of bounds sniper is a mf pos

Lost intelligence and like 700K

[mint light]

nah he an idiot smh 😭

[bold kernel]

I killed 3 rogues, marked in red, and was crouched looting one, circled in blue, when I got shoot in the top of the head by a rogue. Any idea where he came from or how he saw me?

[rain wing]

when do I get 3 flea market slots again?

like what rep

[bold kernel]

AFAIK those are the only rogues in that area

[rain wing]

there are 2 rogues on warehouse 1

he could've gotten back on

also

ground rogues walk around

[pulsar valve]

Anyone wanna help a newbie brother out?

[bold kernel]

do these guards at the front eventually return to their original posts when shot at? like the one up top

[shell kindle]

yp

[karmic axle]

didnt this use to give 2

[shell kindle]

although it might take a long time

[hazy veldt]

No.

[vapid flume]

customs sniper scav is way too mf op pixel headshotting wtf is this

[zinc robin]

@bold kernel u got shot by the middle rouges

[uneven mauve]

Not every time, most of the time they run about 30-50m away and the helicopter area can spawn a group of raiders (4/5) that can push up almost to the gate and at the helicopter area a small building they can get onto the roof to get a vantage point on you

[bold kernel]

ty

[rain wing]

fuck should I just extract?

my scav spawned with an intel and a labs card LOL

[karmic axle]

gawd damn

leave bro

intel 200k

[wanton patio]

any advice on good spots to hit for decent gear?

ive heard marked rooms are good but i dont have any room keys

[spiral flicker]

Intel is only 200k?

[fallen zealot]

Lighthouse

[fallen zealot]

Yes

[wanton patio]

@fallen zealot would but i always crash loading in

[fallen zealot]

Kill rouges at night as a scav

[wanton patio]

sadly

[fallen zealot]

Tuff

[wanton patio]

ah thx bro

[spiral flicker]

Try scaving on customs and go to pvp hotspots

[wanton patio]

@spiral flicker that might work, i have a task there too so its even better

its the starter one from therapist

[spiral flicker]

U can't do tasks as a scav tho

[wanton patio]

oh

well i guess i really am a noob then

[zinc robin]

u kinda can sum tasks u can do as a scav

[fallen zealot]

Unless you need iteams found in raid you can do it as a task

[spiral flicker]

But not the starter one

[karmic axle]

u can do tasks as scav?

[spiral flicker]

Only if u need fir things

For quests

[karmic axle]

wait

so

i can do colleagues

as scav?

[zinc robin]

no

[rain wing]

so like if you need to find x amount of items

[rain wing]

no

[zinc robin]

only stuff u needa find in raid

[rain wing]

quest items need to be done on your pmc

[shadow rapids]

i got a quest for 3V G Paratus 3-Day Operator's Tactical backpacks

[royal breach]

What is the max level for the stats?

[shadow rapids]

is there a way to get them?

[zinc robin]

51

[stone surge]

51

[karmic axle]

oh

[royal breach]

Thanks

[rain wing]

like living high is not a crime

[rain wing]

if you find them as a scav then you can turn them in

[stone surge]

That quest is the reason I dont even bother accepting dailies/weekly anymore

[shadow rapids]

lol ya

[stone surge]

the reward is just so shit

[shadow rapids]

what to try thou lol

how i get the back packs

can i even get them?

[stone surge]

yea but they're rare

but even the bastions 0/4 is super hard to find

[shadow rapids]

i have been farming raiders

[stone surge]

since they need to be found in raid, so from other players doesn't suffice.

[shadow rapids]

so the back packs i need help with
