[balmy quail]

i've got like 3 just from spawning in as a scav

[prime comet]

Hello max

[spiral flicker]

I got like full keycard holder

[prime comet]

I still have a labs card max

And a meta mutant waiting to be lost to labs

[spiral flicker]

Same max

[balmy quail]

then why do you need more

[prime comet]

They’re always good to have

[spiral flicker]

Because I like them

[prime comet]

Labs is fun

[balmy quail]

i'm literally just too afraid to run labs so im just holding them

[prime comet]

Labs pvp is more chadded than anywhere else

In my experience

[viscid kraken]

i'd run labs if i had any of the keycards

[prime comet]

I have 2 access left but I also have yellow which is trash

[spiral flicker]

It is, but its really hard

[rain wing]

am I missing anything?

food

water

[spiral flicker]

YO BOI HE THICC

U missin armor

[rain wing]

oh shit yeah

[spiral flicker]

[rain wing]

u right

i forgot lol

I was gna put on an armored rig

[spiral flicker]

Imegine going without armor

[rain wing]

meta gun no armor 💪

[viscid kraken]

I'm like how is this mf not overweight? then I saw he likes no protection, just like my homies

[rain wing]

which armor 🤔

[spiral flicker]

Slick or tagilla

Or

Redut but its heavy

[rain wing]

the only issue I have with tagilla is that it has so little space

and idk when I should pull it out of my ass

[spiral flicker]

Its gud

6 mags

[viscid kraken]

might be me, but 3 mags is overkill

[spiral flicker]

Good enough

[balmy quail]

gentlemen could I ask a favor of anyone

[spiral flicker]

Ofc

[rain wing]

I'd carry 40 mags if I could

[balmy quail]

I require a found in raid toz for the skier quest

[spiral flicker]

Ye

[rain wing]

then find one in raid

[balmy quail]

i've been trying

for like the past couple of days

not a single one

[smoky moth]

jesus christ you have more chad gears than me 🗿

[spiral flicker]

I got toz on my scav every 3 raid

[rain wing]

[spiral flicker]

Because he don't play it

[rain wing]

frfr

[viscid kraken]

easiest one is to pray your scav loads in with one, or just play night factory with flash light and kill scavs... surely one of them will have a toz

[rain wing]

what map would be best to run this stuff on?

I'd go labs but no cards

[balmy quail]

i'll give you one

[spiral flicker]

Buy one

[balmy quail]

for a found in raid toz

[spiral flicker]

Therapist lvl 4

[rain wing]

no

I mean

like the coloured cards

I have like 8 labs cards

[spiral flicker]

Nah

I don't have either

So

[rain wing]

so/

?

[spiral flicker]

I play labs just to try kill someone

Or to die ofc

[rain wing]

true

[smoky moth]

i could snatch you one when the next restock hits lol

[rain wing]

oh my god

this m1a is so hot

[viscid kraken]

customs is a classic, but i'd go reserve...

[spiral flicker]

Sniper toz hotter

[rain wing]

god I can't wait to die with this thing

[balmy quail]

drum mag saiga hottest

[spiral flicker]

Drum mag saiga is not hot

[balmy quail]

it absolutely is

[spiral flicker]

No

[balmy quail]

its literally a semi automatic shotgun with 20 shells, what more could you want

[spiral flicker]

What is hot about it

[rain wing]

hmmmm

[spiral flicker]

Just ak which for huge bullets

[rain wing]

do I run this loud or quiet?

[balmy quail]

also I plan on adding 6 flashlights to both of them

[spiral flicker]

Go bravo 6

So silent

[rain wing]

😎

6 fucking ergo

jesus christ

what have I done

[balmy quail]

gonna take you 2 minutes to pull the damn thing out

[spiral flicker]

Even this mdr is hotter then saiga

[rain wing]

that's why I have canted 🧠

yes I'm gna be a piece of shit and abuse it

[viscid kraken]

what are these ugly nvg's?

[spiral flicker]

Monocular

I have them for rogue farming

[balmy quail]

a stray thought has just made me imagine binoculars on guns

[rain wing]

well

never gonna run this kit

[balmy quail]

m i lk

[spiral flicker]

M61/2?

[rain wing]

aren't those literally what magnified sights are

[rain wing]

m61 and m993 spare

wait

m62

[balmy quail]

yes but we need quadnoculars then

[spiral flicker]

Me crafting m61 and playing them in labs

[balmy quail]

co-op sights

[spiral flicker]

Its 5k per bullet

[balmy quail]

imagine just spraying a full mag on a guy only to lose money just from the bullets

[viscid kraken]

i mean isn't this better considering it's dirt cheap?

[spiral flicker]

I don't play full auto with m61

[rain wing]

OH MY GOD

MY OTHER SLICK

I FOUND IT

[balmy quail]

I have no idea what that means but congrats

[spiral flicker]

This? No. The monocular is better at range which really helps with rogue farm

[viscid kraken]

hmm good to know

[spiral flicker]

With this nvg u can see like 70 meters, mono is about 150?

Something like that

[viscid kraken]

what about the other good one? I know you can't pair it with a helmet but did you try it?

[rain wing]

here's my stash of guns I thought about using but never decided to take them into raids cause I'm too much of a pussy

actually

[spiral flicker]

I tried every nvg in game except the scope nvg

[rain wing]

I'll run the ak74n

[spiral flicker]

Did u die with that m1a

[rain wing]

no

I haven't even went into a raid

[spiral flicker]

So

U moded it

And

[rain wing]

yes

I'm not running it

[spiral flicker]

U won't use it

[rain wing]

until I feel like it

[spiral flicker]

Oh ye

Respectable

[dull root]

what do you do with a graphics card?

[spiral flicker]

I put them in btc farm

[viscid kraken]

feels like you enjoy using this 15 gb gun modding simulator

[spiral flicker]

[rain wing]

I do

it's fun to make guns

and admire them in my stash

as I dream about killing a chad duo

maybe trio

[viscid kraken]

i agree

[spiral flicker]

Maximum ppl I killed in 1 raid was 4 ppl, but 2 of them were low lvl guys

[spiral flicker]

Bruv

Some flexin huh

Sadly I am not home

So I can't flex

[viscid kraken]

this isn't anything good, and most of them have shit m80 because i got nothing better

[spiral flicker]

But I'll be home in like 30 mins

M80 good

The SRs and M1A is good

[hardy charm]

Hullo

[spiral flicker]

Hello non Max guy

[rain wing]

now this

this

is my collection

[rigid light]

epico

[rain wing]

it will expand

and the max clan will take over bsg

[spiral flicker]

Do you want to be in Max gang? We are helping ppl and doing giveaways

[misty ginkgo]

Giveaway a red

[hardy charm]

idk

wat is happeining

[viscid kraken]

early wipe I thought m80 was exclusive to bolties, so I ran m700 and t-500 only

[misty ginkgo]

Use them

[rain wing]

no

[viscid kraken]

yeah after learning about dmr's... bolties still hold that special feel to them. it's so satisfying to get kills with bolties

[spiral flicker]

I wouldn't and i don't have one

[rigid light]

is the 870 the only pump action shotgun you can make into a sawn off

am i just missing parts

[spiral flicker]

Double barrel

Can be

[rigid light]

none on the other shotguns come close to the shortness of the 870

of course, but i mean pump action

[spiral flicker]

I think m870 is shorty boi

[balmy quail]

anyone know at what point does fence rep become positive instead of neutral?

[icy fable]

by being a "good scav"

[icy fable]

These things influence that value

and the only stepping stone is +6

[balmy quail]

well, thanks for the help but i already know that

What i meant by my question was at what point does this turn to say positive or does it not change at all?

[limber cliff]

i think around the 2 mark

[spiral flicker]

if u have high scav rap, you are getting way better gear

more keycards, better guns, armor, backpack ammo

etc

[balmy quail]

ah alright, thanks for the help everyone

[spiral flicker]

i can show u what kits i ll get with this scav karma

[balmy quail]

alright sure, why not

screenshots or screenshare?

[spiral flicker]

i can stream it for you, yea

[balmy quail]

alright sounds good

[spiral flicker]

pick some duo vc on this discord

[balmy quail]

i'm in 2 man #6

[karmic axle]

cool dead scavs

[icy fable]

Profit

[karmic axle]

FUCK

sake

i died

[bold kernel]

lol. don't post screenshots while you're looting.

[karmic axle]

i didnt die while looting dipshit

[marsh harbor]

tarkov animations are just so well executed

everything about guns is really

[valid inlet]

How do I increase standing with scavs? I accidentally killed one and now they all hate me. What do I do to increase my standing with them?

[karmic axle]

u cant in the same raid

they will all be hostile to you if u kill another scav in the same raid

[marsh harbor]

stop killing scavs for your next 50 raids

[valid inlet]

I know, but in this raid I had just spawned in

[marsh harbor]

and then the next 50

and then the ...

[karmic axle]

oh

[marsh harbor]

you get the point

[valid inlet]

Oh. I see. Thank you.

[karmic axle]

whats your fence rating?

[valid inlet]

-0.22

[marsh harbor]

yea that's not accidentally killing scavs

[karmic axle]

xd

[marsh harbor]

you kill all scavs on sight

[karmic axle]

lmao

he's new

i think he's just shooting everyone for loot

[valid inlet]

I killed a few before I knew karma was a thing because I thought they were either players or gonna shoot me on sight, then stopped when I knew about karma and watched how the AI moved more to distinguish them. Then I accidentally killed one last raid which I think was the last straw lmao

[marsh harbor]

but yea

tarkov gun animations are just so well executed

jams, chambering

unchambering

[karmic axle]

Just extract without doing dumb stuff

also

[limber cliff]

@karmic axle you havent gotten any loot unless you've extracted with it or it's in your gamma

[karmic axle]

taking car extracts increase ue rep

[marsh harbor]

just stop killing scavs carlo

[karmic axle]

i was Pscav

[limber cliff]

then it's the former option

[karmic axle]

xd

no

[marsh harbor]

as a scav that is

[karmic axle]

i ran down the road

[marsh harbor]

you can kill scavs as a PMC

[karmic axle]

then 2 PmCs popped up

[karmic axle]

u can do whatever u want on PMC

u just cant kill scavs on scav

[marsh harbor]

ooh stumbled upon a cheap razor

nice

gonna save it for a nice DMR build

[valid inlet]

I just shot before I thought they would shoot me, that's all. I got nervous.

[valid inlet]

I plan to

[marsh harbor]

they wont shoot you once your rep goes up

[valid inlet]

I realise that now lmao

[marsh harbor]

also, dont play as a scav until you raise your rep

[warm ocean]

What's better for sniping, SKS with BP or VPO-215 with top rounds (forgot how they are called)

[valid inlet]

Alright, that is what I plan to do

[warm ocean]

AP-M

[cold fog]

Anyone got tips for doing Extortionist? I can never seem to get out, even if I manage to get the package you have to pick up

[marsh harbor]

killa's gonna kick your ass

[fair sentinel]

215 imo

[icy fable]

AP-M is amazing

[valid inlet]

Anyway, thanks for all the help guys. I will raise my reputation with them.

[marsh harbor]

SKS is not a good weapon

[karmic axle]

just grab it and go back to the traintracks

and hug the wall

[marsh harbor]

its just ... OK for the money

it shoots ok bullets

[warm ocean]

Yeah the thing is I only have 9 rounds of it left and I need t3 mechanic

[marsh harbor]

that's it

[warm ocean]

Is that enough for one run with an SMG backup?

[icy fable]

you'll get access to flea market before that

[marsh harbor]

oh do not run 2 guns on raids

[warm ocean]

Or that, I'm lv9

[marsh harbor]

esp if new

[icy fable]

costs anywhere between 700-1000 rub per round

[warm ocean]

Sniper only seems dumb to me

[marsh harbor]

you're new and you wanna run 1K bullets

[warm ocean]

At least like a 5/7

[icy fable]

what you do then is carry 2 mags, one in gun, one in vest and all the rounds in your container

[marsh harbor]

ok, then just lose DOUBLE the money once you die

cause you lose 2 guns

[icy fable]

and reload the mags in-round from your container

[warm ocean]

Not going solo

[marsh harbor]

better to invest that money in armor

[warm ocean]

Yes, I know that

[marsh harbor]

and not being solo means you won't die?

[icy fable]

so when you die, you won't lose a full stack of ammo that can cost 1k per round

[warm ocean]

Can't buy above t3 which I already have

[marsh harbor]

or you wont get sniped from across the map

?

[warm ocean]

Way lower chance to die + teammates can pick up the important loot quick

[marsh harbor]

if you think just running a sniper is dumb

then just dont run a sniper

[cold fog]

Haven't tried that one yet, I'll give it a shot

[marsh harbor]

you shouldn't run a team just so they can act as a mobile insurance for you

plus

all of that is shit loot

noone's gonna look an SKS

or an UMP

[icy fable]

mosin

[marsh harbor]

picking up an SKS

literally just a waste of space

you're talking about a thing that costs 20K

and people bring out 300K guns

[warm ocean]

Grabbing 2 mags is no big deal lol

[marsh harbor]

wait you use SKS with mags?

oh no

[warm ocean]

Not SKS

[dull root]

i got shot by a player scav, killed him then got turned on by ai scav??

[warm ocean]

VPO-215

[icy fable]

you wouldn't?

[marsh harbor]

if he shot you, you can't lose rep

[marsh harbor]

of course not

the point of an SKS is that it doesnt need mags

that's why its dirt cheap

[dull root]

i lost -0.03 for killing him and killing the ai scav who started shooting me

[icy fable]

reloading bullet-by-bullet

[marsh harbor]

then he didn't shoot you

and yes you will lose rep for killing AI scavs no matter what

[dull root]

he shot me in the arm and head with a shotgun. the bleeding sure looked like he shot me

[icy fable]

just like noone picks up the gun, they will leave the mags

[merry swift]

Probably SKS with BP. Faster followup shots and higher pen with less bullet drop

[marsh harbor]

each Scav that is

it doesnt stop ramping if you keep shooting them

the more you kill

the more rep you tank

[marsh harbor]

cause it's a shit gun

[merry swift]

Its just an early level weapon tbh

[marsh harbor]

I mean its not even that good anymore

[merry swift]

Nothing inherently wrong with it. Very cheap for what it does

[marsh harbor]

with UMP

[icy fable]

exactly, so what's your point of not carrying the mags?

[marsh harbor]

and even Vepr arguably

[merry swift]

UMP is an entirely different platform

[marsh harbor]

throwing away the money?

[merry swift]

I'd take an SKS with BP that he apparently has over an UMP any day tbf

[icy fable]

just like noone picks up the gun, they will leave the mags

[dusky geyser]

UMPs can be fairly slot efficient though - suppressor, good holo, .45 AP, sometimes expensive flashlights

[marsh harbor]

but you ...

you know what

[dusky geyser]

not 20k per slot but it's better than what you can do

[marsh harbor]

I think Im getting trolled at this point

[icy fable]

honestly, I think you're just being ignorant to the point of thinking that

[marsh harbor]

yea, UMPs are amazing

I still run umps on aoccasion

[dusky geyser]

i will never use them though

too rat for me

i prefer the massive power of 9x19

[marsh harbor]

I mean, just for running a quest

I'll take it

or like farming scavs?

Im not saying to bring it out for a factory or a lab run

[warm ocean]

Btw, also if you're sniping, you are way less likely to get looted imo

Especically if you're in an obscure spot

=insurance actually works

[limber cliff]

doesnt apply to merin camping

if you camp merin you will die 100% of the time and also lose everything

[marsh harbor]

not if you run an SKS

[limber cliff]

no its every time

if you merin camp at all youre dying 100% of the time and getting nothing back

[marsh harbor]

no, no-one is gonna take your SKS

[limber cliff]

god will

as punishment for merin camping

[marsh harbor]

👼

[sudden cosmos]

Ffs died 30 seconds into raid by a scav on a heavy machine gun

[warm ocean]

Lol that's how I lost my t5 armor set

[sudden cosmos]

I'm still sub lvl 10 so the gear I have isn't worth much, but I've been on a bad run all day. Just trying to get some tasks done in customs

[marsh harbor]

scavs do be getting lucky random shots

had a scav fuck me up on my woods no heal quest

literally the first shot from like a 100m away

broke my leg

you just have to accept it

[sudden cosmos]

Yeah this was one shot to the chest that hit.

🤷‍♂️ I just need a win

[marsh harbor]

just run a zhuk

if you're going scav hunting

its dirt cheap

like 20K

[icy fable]

[limber cliff]

if you throw a nade and die before it explodes will it tell you that you did the grenade damage if it hit

[marsh harbor]

unlikely

just like the quests dont count

like the marker quests

if you die while the timer is on

[sudden cosmos]

I need to hunt scavs and do extortionist task

[icy fable]

customs at low level can be a bit painful, but a decent strategy is to wait until people have settles into their routes of the map and then try to go for your goal, normal targets wait 5-10 min; if dorms, wait 10-15 until visiting it

when I say "wait", I mean loot around where you spawn before starting big trips

[sudden cosmos]

Thanks, I may try this. Felt a bit cheap

[limber cliff]

translates to go afk for 10 minutes in a bush while the customs chads mandango it out

[icy fable]

but it'll still be painful

[icy fable]

unfortunately, this is also valid

[marsh harbor]

just run a zhuk

[sudden cosmos]

What's zhuk? I'm runing a vepr

[marsh harbor]

the armor

the press armor

and the ssh helmet

[sudden cosmos]

I managed to scav an M1A off someone but I'll know drop it for now. Thanks Ghost, will pick those up

[tacit ferry]

whats the best gun to kill raiders?

[marsh harbor]

just keep that M1 for later

its a decent gun

if its not low dur

[sudden cosmos]

100%, I'm saving it for now. It has 50rnd mags

[marsh harbor]

the durability is what matters a lot as well

if its high, keep it

[icy fable]

not a bad find

[marsh harbor]

if not, you can use it

[sudden cosmos]

It's 100

[marsh harbor]

keep it

if you find a good weapon with low dur

you can just use it or even sell

[sudden cosmos]

no flea yet, so didn't want to use traders

[marsh harbor]

you can sell to the traders as well

no one will buy a non-100 dur gun on flea

[tacit ferry]

ah yes 70%

[sudden cosmos]

Yeah it is 100%, and I've got lab cards too

[bold kernel]

if you undercut the lowest offer, it will always sell

[marsh harbor]

you should sell the lab cards

[icy fable]

Math

[marsh harbor]

low dur wont

[sudden cosmos]

To traders though?

[marsh harbor]

unless you find an idiot

[limber cliff]

it will tho lol

if it's not a red number people will buy it

[marsh harbor]

if you have idiots who'll buy that shit, good for you I guess

[sudden cosmos]

I also managed to scav some nvgs but not attached them yet

[marsh harbor]

but yea

just sell the lab cards

you wont loot labs this raid prolly

[sudden cosmos]

definitely not

[marsh harbor]

so yea

just sell them

easy 65K

[spiral flicker]

what about Zhuk-6

gzhel still better

[spiral flicker]

how is gzhel better

[limber cliff]

its a racial thing

[spiral flicker]

75>65, 6>5 same material

[strange jay]

can anyone help me plant iskra and water on woods via zb-016? i dont have either as i lost them last raid to a dome shot
nvm i can plant water since i can buy from therapist

[sudden cosmos]

Just realised the Zhuk requires those Cats and pompom, I have neither

[spiral flicker]

oh MoonshinE guy

[prime comet]

Oh he’s alive

His toxicity didn’t kill him off yet

[strange jay]

omg it's british max

[spiral flicker]

[nocturne lintel]

what do I do with empty fuel cans? just trader sell?

[spiral flicker]

craft

lavatory

for cases

[strange jay]

i didnt know u could craft cases from hideout

what level are those?

[spiral flicker]

"you shouldnt post your winnings in wrong chats"

thats my answer

[strange jay]

bad answer in beginners-assistance

'

[nocturne lintel]

do i need the rpk reward from ice cream cones for anything or can i just use/sell it

[spiral flicker]

i am not sure if there is gunsmith for that

but i would use / sell

[strange jay]

can anyone help me plant iskra and water on woods via zb-016? i dont have either as i lost them last raid to a dome shot

i do have water bottle

[misty ginkgo]

You can get the iskras on Interchange

[strange jay]

where?

[nocturne lintel]

goshan is life for all things food

[strange jay]

interchange is my map and ive never found em

[bold kernel]

@strange jaygo to goshan. from the entrance, go all the way back and left. that's where all the food spawns. idk if i've seen many iskras there tho. it's mainly cans and drinks.

[nocturne lintel]

also food court on third floor of interchange/in front of idea? i think

[strange jay]

i dont know goshan, i do know interchange though and ive never found an iskra that wasnt on a scav

[nocturne lintel]

ugh i need more junk boxes

[strange jay]

let me rephrase is anyone willing to sacrifice an iskra, OR an empty syringe (idk where to find those and been looking in all the med places on interchange since lvl 1 because i need em for hideout)?

[misty ginkgo]

Black Weapon Boxes.

Nearly all of them

Or, the Black big square box.

Idk What the name is

[strange jay]

really? the long ones or short stubby ones?

[misty ginkgo]

Short

[strange jay]

i'll give it a go then, thanks

[misty ginkgo]

I know that the one at the tank, near emercom spawns one 100% of the time.

The one at food corner doesn’t.

[coarse valley]

Should i keep pistol grips or purchase them back later?

[strange jay]

power station is the only one i know of

[misty ginkgo]

There must be a map somewhere with all the boxes

[warm ocean]

Keep the meta shit, sell everything else imo

[misty ginkgo]

You can easily get 3-4 iskras in one raid on Interchange

[warm ocean]

Or craft for fairly cheap

[bold kernel]

@coarse valleysell the stock ones, keep the good ones that you can't buy with your trader levels. buy MPPV rigs to store them in.

[strange jay]

this one?

[misty ginkgo]

Crafting takes time tho, if you need 2 for a beginner quest aswell

[misty ginkgo]

Yup

[coarse valley]

which ones are stock?

[warm ocean]

They craft in 2 at once

[strange jay]

omg i found an iskra lmfao

[misty ginkgo]

Exactly 🙂

Check those boxes, most of them have 100% spawn rate

[bold kernel]

just look at the stats. if it sucks chuck it. 6P1 Sb and AKM bak might be stock i guess.

[misty ginkgo]

It takes 48 minutes to craft…

[warm ocean]

If you go into the main mall, there are a lot of shelves that have like 20 food items, you can get iskra components there

That's how I did the quest

[strange jay]

iskra COMPONENTS?

[misty ginkgo]

I’ve never found 1 iskra from those shelfs

[strange jay]

whats that mean?

[warm ocean]

Yes, you can craft them, you need the food station and generator in shelter

[warm ocean]

You can't find an iskra, but you can find all the stuff you need to craft it

[nocturne lintel]

for big sale do i need to visit each location in one raid or just survive after visiting each one at least once

[warm ocean]

That is the easiest way imo

[misty ginkgo]

You can get 4 from Interchange in one raid.

It takes 48 minutes to craft 2 of them…

[nocturne lintel]

cries in gas analyzers and no fuel

[warm ocean]

You can, doesn't mean you will

[dawn geyser]

^

[nocturne lintel]

idk i get at least 2-3 every time i go on food run

[warm ocean]

Where did you spend all your fuel lol, also I'm pretty sure you can barter a 100 can for like 80k worth of flea market stuff

[nocturne lintel]

my record was like 16

[misty ginkgo]

I find 4 of them all the time.

Good for metabolism 🙂

[nocturne lintel]

i dont have any fuel to begin with lmfao

[warm ocean]

You get a 60 can when you start playing wym

[misty ginkgo]

If you visit it, you have to survive.

If you extract and haven’t visited all of them you can just go visit the ones you need and extract.

[strange jay]

do you by chance have like... a loot map for interchange? i looked one up but i can't find the symbol for those specific crates

got out with the iskra btw

[misty ginkgo]

Try MapGenie

[strange jay]

woohoo

[nocturne lintel]

thats all i had

[heady sundial]

google interchange stashes

or go to mapgenie.com

[warm ocean]

And you used it all? It gives 13 hours of generator time

[nocturne lintel]

gasans take 18 hours to craft

lol

plus all the parts for gunsmith 1-3

[misty ginkgo]

Im pretty sure that MapGenie has a list of all the Black boxes

[warm ocean]

You can barter them

[nocturne lintel]

plus ice cream cones

i haveno barters for fuel

[misty ginkgo]

If you need them for fir quest just go Interchange scav.

I found 6 of them in one raid earlier today

[nocturne lintel]

i lied i found one, 2 propanes and 2 fcons

[median niche]

what should I spend gp coins on?

[misty ginkgo]

Nothing, sell it

[nocturne lintel]

yay i can buy vectors now

also is the mcx 300 worth bartering for or just use other things for now

it looks fun

[strange jay]

is there a way to filter just that specific box?

[misty ginkgo]

I think, yeah - gimme a sec and i’ll check

[nocturne lintel]

yes left hand side on the top oyu can filter out what shows

mapgenie is god

[misty ginkgo]

@strange jay

[nocturne lintel]

sorry max i had it open

[strange jay]

ohhhhh is this up to date or hit or miss?

[nocturne lintel]

i gotta be at least a tiny bit useful for how useless i am

up to date

[misty ginkgo]

It's as up to date as possible.

[strange jay]

alright thanks guys

[nocturne lintel]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/reserve

if you need the link

well you cant see reserve or shoreline without giving them 10 bucks

but other than that yeah

sorry not shoreline lighthouse

[split dagger]

Just google the map

They are all the same

Mapgenie is just interactive

[misty ginkgo]

Im too greedy to pay anyone 10$ to learn me a map in a video game.

There's shit tons of youtube videoes on all the maps

[nocturne lintel]

i mean i just made it easy with the link

its not really learning, im directionally incapable entirely and it helps

[misty ginkgo]

All about playing it enough.

Remember a compass 😉

[nocturne lintel]

compass isn't entirely accurate though

[misty ginkgo]

... Yeah

[nocturne lintel]

ive seen it as far off as 90 degrees

which makes it kind of useless

[dawn geyser]

lolwhut

[misty ginkgo]

The map you used sucks then

[nocturne lintel]

no, the compass.

[dawn geyser]

In game compass?

[split dagger]

I think it works good you just dont know how to use it

[nocturne lintel]

i spawned at emercom and looked at mall and it said it was dead south

[dawn geyser]

No such thing, it works 100% of the time

wat

Do you have a screenshot?

[nocturne lintel]

nah this was when i was first learning map

just chalked it up to tarkov being tarkov

[dawn geyser]

I think your memory is betraying you

[nocturne lintel]

thats fine

so close to generator 2 leggo

[dawn geyser]

[misty ginkgo]

Is dorms marked room good, or should i stay away from it?

[split dagger]

Its good

[misty ginkgo]

I got a Rivals armband, and have no interest in using it.

[misty ginkgo]

Really?

What can you find that earns it back

[limber cliff]

stay away from it unless youre running a t5 kit +

[strong barn]

the rivals armband trades for nearly any item afaik

[split dagger]

Injectors case, keytool, keycard holder

[nocturne lintel]

god injectors case are so expensive

[heady sundial]

pretty sure there are still cases in marked room

[limber cliff]

trade the armband for a hillside key if you can that's more worth it

[split dagger]

There are but no thicc cases or that

Only docs case

[heady sundial]

weaponscase

[split dagger]

Hillside key is very meh I wouldnt buy it

[limber cliff]

wrong

[split dagger]

Nah doesn't spawn

[limber cliff]

hillside spawns stims safe loot and bitcoins

[misty ginkgo]

Labs main, have all the keycards.

I could get more keycards, just to flex 🤷 - but then i would rather have someone kill me and think "That guy was such a pussy for paying shit ton of money for a purple armband"

[misty ginkgo]

Isn't merin better?

[limber cliff]

no

not at all

[strong barn]

I said any item, never mentioned keycards
use your imagination LOL

[limber cliff]

i've never gone to merin and said "that was a good merin use"

[split dagger]

Heck do you even play lh or do you just watch youtube

[limber cliff]

i have been to merin

i have been to hill

hill is worth more

it's a 50/50 hitting merin that you get camped

[split dagger]

I have a ton of raids on lighthouse and hillside is 10 times worse than merin

[limber cliff]

and it's a 75/25 if it's later into the raid

my first hillside key use i got 2 mules and 1 btc

[misty ginkgo]

Give me some examples... I don't think that it's possible to trade 15 meta kits...

[split dagger]

Nobody camps merin this late into wipe

[limber cliff]

ok let me take you to merin

[split dagger]

Cause everyone has it

[limber cliff]

come on my servers and lets go to merin

[misty ginkgo]

Didn't they nerf Lighthouse keys loot?

I've heard someone say that Merin is absolute shit

[split dagger]

It has been nerfed

[nocturne lintel]

lets goooo

[limber cliff]

i've ran merin i think 5 times and i've only gotten 1 vpx, 1 roler, 1 meldonin and 50 usd

[heady sundial]

cold hard cash

[split dagger]

5 times isnt a lot

[whole thistle]

It's not shit it's just not actually broken anymore

[split dagger]

Not to draw conclusion

[limber cliff]

ok well 5 times for a key that's like 1-2m

[heady sundial]

why is the key 2 mil ?

[split dagger]

Ok you dont make any sense

[heady sundial]

what can it spawn

[limber cliff]

thats a good question

actually merin is closer to 750k now

[split dagger]

If the key is 2m and you got 100k in one raid

Thats good no?

[heady sundial]

no

[limber cliff]

other keys do it better like hillside

and also merin campers

[heady sundial]

get all 4 reserve crate keys

[misty ginkgo]

Not worth it then?

[heady sundial]

for 600k

go reserve once

make 600k

[whole thistle]

No it's still good

[split dagger]

You have 100 uses

[misty ginkgo]

It's closer to 700k now

[limber cliff]

any other key in the game is better than merin i'm convinced

[split dagger]

Okay it used to be 2m

[limber cliff]

"no one camps merin this late in wipe" do you still run merin @split dagger '

[split dagger]

When im there yeah

[misty ginkgo]

I was quite surprised when i saw it aswell, was about to trade it instantly.

[limber cliff]

if you still run merin people are still camping merin

[nocturne lintel]

ok now that generator is level 2, should i focus money on saving up for like an injector case/more docs cases? or just a shit ton of budget sets to do tasks in

or focus on hideout

[limber cliff]

as long as there is merin, there will be merin camper

[misty ginkgo]

Have money, buy whatever you need.

[whole thistle]

Tasks

[split dagger]

I havent died once from a guy camping merin

[limber cliff]

please god let me take you to my servers and we go there

[misty ginkgo]

Rat servers 🐀

[heady sundial]

what servers you on

[old prism]

whats ultra med key at now? I remember paying like 8 mil for it back in the day

[limber cliff]

every time i hit merin there's a gornasty or mosin shitling camping it

[split dagger]

Bruh I play on nyc

If there are campers ill find them

[limber cliff]

NAE

[misty ginkgo]

It's very bad

[nocturne lintel]

what server is good for rats?

im totally fine going to a dead server to get easy tasks done

[split dagger]

Any that has high waiting times

[heady sundial]

ive heard na is full of rats

[old prism]

beauharnois, chicago, london for nae

[misty ginkgo]

pls don't go dead servers.

Once you get bored, and wanna pvp you're gonna get blasted.

[limber cliff]

na servers at these hours are asians who play like bitches and rats who play like rats

[split dagger]

From my experience NA players have more balls than EU players

But idk

[limber cliff]

100% true on peak hours for na

[heady sundial]

ive played na a few times and people are generally worse than eu

but tahts just my experience

[nocturne lintel]

no issues with fights, im just tryna get some of the cancer tasks/maps knocked out

[heady sundial]

could also be cuz i was ping abusing

[split dagger]

Play on coastal servers

[misty ginkgo]

From my experience EU players have bigger balls than NA.

Don't really play on other region servers, unless i need to tho

[split dagger]

You'll see how many chads play

[misty ginkgo]

Anyone can connect to those...

Many Eu players use them for dead servers in their prime time lol

Just like some NA uses EU servers as dead servers in their prime time

[split dagger]

Sure but you shouldnt play on 100 ping servers

[heady sundial]

eu servers are never dead

[nocturne lintel]

i would do that if i wasnt on the side of a mountain in colorado

[limber cliff]

im gonna go as a pmc to hit merin with nothing on me @split dagger

[heady sundial]

i can tell from experience

[misty ginkgo]

Some people do it tho.

[split dagger]

Youll just die to desync

[somber dragon]

that’s so not worth it lmao

[misty ginkgo]

And sometimes you have to do it,.

[spiral flicker]

3 am be like

[heady sundial]

@split dagger ive actually found ping helps aggresie players

[limber cliff]

im gonna die to a merin camper because im gonna be hitting merin

[heady sundial]

aggressive*

[old prism]

the dead servers are nice for the "kill 30000 scavs" tasks, since no one else is mowing them down

[heady sundial]

when i play at 4 5 am i find games real quick

[split dagger]

Until you die behind the wall

[somber dragon]

im yet to find a merin camper

[spiral flicker]

rly?

[heady sundial]

sadly that happens even on my serevers

[merry swift]

Havent seen some1 camp merin for weeks

[spiral flicker]

same

[nocturne lintel]

yeah thats what im talking about, things like that and farming or anything really on factory, or things on maps i dislike in general

[merry swift]

Most often it isn't even opened

[heady sundial]

factory quests are for masochists

the pure fear to not get shit on while placing something

[nocturne lintel]

i despise that map

[heady sundial]

is cancer

i lovefactory i just hate quests there

[nocturne lintel]

like if i wanna just pvp i love it

[merry swift]

Just 5man them if you want the easy quests

[split dagger]

Factory is great to learn pvp

[nocturne lintel]

but nothign else

[heady sundial]

thats for girls

[misty ginkgo]

No.

No it's not.

[nocturne lintel]

idk i havent found any issues with pvp

people are dog shit at shooters

[misty ginkgo]

You will never get a realistic situation on Factory.

[old prism]

factory quests are easy. Just go at night

[nocturne lintel]

my issue is never being able to see or find people

[spiral flicker]

its ok for cqc combat

[old prism]

legit killed 6 scavs, never heard another player, never heard another shot

[limber cliff]

FN_57 was camping merin today i have his dogtag

[heady sundial]

use ears

[old prism]

easiest eagle owl ever

[nocturne lintel]

always do

[spiral flicker]

when u hear shots, go there

[merry swift]

People farm tagilla at night tho

[mint light]

bappo change ur fucking name back

[nocturne lintel]

dont hear them always

[heady sundial]

god morgnign amakx

ok

[nocturne lintel]

or ill get dome pieced without ever knowing where

cough cough reserve

[heady sundial]

wtf should i change it to

it has to look godo

[old prism]

people go into pvp in factory at daytime.

What's ur point? Night is 100% easier for the quests. Chance of pvp vs guaranteed pvp

[mint light]

would u like to join max clan

we have giveaways

[spiral flicker]

true

[nocturne lintel]

?

[limber cliff]

u give away red green or blue cards?

[heady sundial]

we give away kappasr

[spiral flicker]

Max cult group

[misty ginkgo]

BLUE

[misty ginkgo]

The only keycard worse than red

[merry swift]

My point is that tagilla farmers have better gear than the average shotgun timmy

[old prism]

shotgun timmy will check your spawn

[nocturne lintel]

timmy?

[old prism]

tagilla farmer will run to tagilla spawns, not find him, leave

[misty ginkgo]

I killed a lvl 46 with double shotguns earlier today

[misty ginkgo]

New player

[mint light]

change ur name here to max

[merry swift]

Oh yo just wanna afk spawn for 10 mins?

[heady sundial]

just afk for 5 mins on factory night and its clear

[mint light]

and u will be indicted

[spiral flicker]

timmy = new player

[mint light]

bamaxo

[heady sundial]

bapmax

bapomaxo

maxbpo

[tacit ferry]

i have a ping

if its max fucking

accusing me

[heady sundial]

this better

[limber cliff]

i've never seen a factory runner at night that wasnt running timmy cleaning loot

all t5 t6

[heady sundial]

i need an alpha male who can clear the whole resort for me

any volunteers ?

[limber cliff]

have you asked sanitar

[heady sundial]

no he usually clears me out

[limber cliff]

have you asked nicely

[heady sundial]

he doesnt get to questions

he screams and assaults me

[whole thistle]

I've went scav farming on factory night a lot, not many geared people

[old prism]

u guys say that like u don't see brads escorting timmies to their quest on daytime. its simple fact that there is a much higher likely hood of 1-2 other pmcs instead of a guarantee of 3-4 other pmcs which'll make things like farming pt 1 or postman pat or scout easier

[mint light]

change ur name to max

[limber cliff]

do u run solo

[whole thistle]

Ok

[whole thistle]

Yeah

[heady sundial]

mulan come resort

[mint light]

IT IS 8 IN THE MORNING BAPPO

[heady sundial]

4 for me

[mint light]

I HAVE AWOKEN FOR EDUCATION

[heady sundial]

education is temporary

[limber cliff]

you are probably the lobby timmy cleaner

[heady sundial]

resort is eternal

[mint light]

resort is suffering

[old prism]

no bro, there's just legit hardly anyone on factory night at all

[limber cliff]

if you run in with a 4 or 5 man there's literally no one it's empty lobbies

[spiral flicker]

imagine actually educate

[limber cliff]

but 1-3 you're running into human brick walls

[strong barn]

protip
if you havn't seen a timmy in awhile
you may be the timmy

[old prism]

ur chance of running into timmy clearing altyn killa armor sr25 user is exactly the same chance night or day. ur chance of having 0-1 other PMC at night is way higher than at day

[heady sundial]

🤔

good point

[misty ginkgo]

How am i meant to get the mag for Gunsmith 4, before hitting lvl 23?

[heady sundial]

what was the mag

60 rounders ?

[misty ginkgo]

60 rounder, grey one.

[heady sundial]

the m4 one ?

[merry swift]

Can flea a 100 rounder and build with that

Those are valid too

[heady sundial]

find it in raid

[mint light]

60rnd is my favorite magazine in the game

[misty ginkgo]

Wait, can you send me a build with that - that isn't expensive af.

[old prism]

kill raiders
kill high level timmies
check weapon boxes religiously [interchange has loads]

[heady sundial]

the pmag one is hotter tho

[old prism]

but you're gonna get stuck on gunsmith 6 though

[heady sundial]

what was 6

[old prism]

rsass

[heady sundial]

oh im still stuck

💀

[old prism]

I had mine and took my backpack stack to interchange and [coincidentally ] died within 15 seconds of spawning

[spiral flicker]

RSASS?

[old prism]

I spawned at the tanker and couldn't make it to hole in the fence. crazy 🙂

[mint light]

join cult max

[old prism]

no, just the first wipe u couldn't simply buy them from the flea.

[heady sundial]

@mint light give me rsass

[mint light]

i dont have

get peaxekeepr 3

[heady sundial]

come help

im scared

[mint light]

i hate shoreline

[misty ginkgo]

Does body armor count as armored rig?

[mint light]

what

[old prism]

I bought game in 2017. the first time I actually got over lvl 30 was 2020 wipe

[heady sundial]

i hate life

but i still live it no /

[mint light]

Snoreline

[old prism]

yes, if this is the jaeger quest

[heady sundial]

lets go kill reshala then i need his titty

[spiral flicker]

noice

[misty ginkgo]

Remember there being a quest with Thrifty 😉

[misty ginkgo]

What i thought, thanks.

[merry swift]

The wiki has a build. Wiki builds tend to be expensive but I think at this point in the wipe it should be ok

Near the bottom of the article iirc

[old prism]

yeah okay don't talk to me

[misty ginkgo]

...

[heady sundial]

what is this for

[old prism]

if you have the work bench, you can edit a preset of the m4a1 and you can look at the stats. The hardest one for that with the 100 rnder will be the ergo. make sure u use the smaller barrel

[misty ginkgo]

"You can't be wearing any armor vests or armored chest rigs" 🙂

You were wrong...

[karmic axle]

i can see u have met Reg

just block him bro xd

[misty ginkgo]

Why is that guy so mad?

[karmic axle]

idk bro

[nocturne lintel]

not a bad scav run

[karmic axle]

he like some

15 year old kid who thinks he knows everything about tarkov

[misty ginkgo]

And when he is wrong, he can't say it lollll

[karmic axle]

easily aggressive

[karmic axle]

i know bro

he just finds an excuse

happened earlier

xd

[nocturne lintel]

interchange

dude died as he opened kiba and the other guy saw me and just... left?

[old prism]

its ok its just like timmy is already a joke term like now we policing the scientific definition instead of inferring "oh high level timmy? that means a guy thats lvl 35 but still plays bad in pvp"

[karmic axle]

fuck u jaeger

[old prism]

next i will be given a dissertation on why chads only wear class 5 instead of class 6 armor to protect their stomach from shotgun or something

[nocturne lintel]

i have 5 saved up specifically for if i get that far

[karmic axle]

Bro im not evne that far in

;-;

literally only lvl 27 and i hardly do dailies

[nocturne lintel]

during event they were being sold in fences shop for like 15k

[old prism]

wait what are u saving up for jaeger

[nocturne lintel]

flat screwdrivers

[old prism]

he has a static quest that needs screwdrivers?

[nocturne lintel]

ah fuck

[dusky geyser]

real chads dont wear armor because they
they cannot afford it

[nocturne lintel]

at least i have 2 fir

[karmic axle]

HUH?>??

[nocturne lintel]

no but ive seen the daily like 4 times now

[old prism]

the most valuable reward is the .01 rep

[karmic axle]

BRUH HE WANTS 13? FLAT SCREWDRIVERS

ITS 2 DIFFERENT questsss

[spiral flicker]

[karmic axle]

im literally

bruhing

IRL

[karmic axle]

why u always show up to clow nme

;-;

[limber cliff]

@split dagger i didnt get merin camped but im gonna blame it on me playing on us servers at 6 am

[mint light]

i hate man

[spiral flicker]

i am there the whole time

[nocturne lintel]

should prolly do my dailies kekw

[limber cliff]

there was only one dude making noise and he was running through rogues with a gornasty

[karmic axle]

😦

[karmic axle]

i still dont have weeklies

and idk why

do i report bug

[spiral flicker]

i am watching, gathering information for cult gang

[karmic axle]

has it been a week since event ended?

[nocturne lintel]

this is literally my very first weekly ive gotten

and its aids

[old prism]

therapist wants 5 CATs from me but I don't even know where to find cats in such quantity. its always esmarchs.

[nocturne lintel]

25 pmc kills from over 100m on interchange

[limber cliff]

go loot rogues as a scav they have like a 30% of having CATs and no one picks them up

[spiral flicker]

ok bro

[old prism]

actually based tip, thank u

[mint light]

they also be having cats in med camp and crackhouse

[limber cliff]

get 5 CATs in one run + rogue loot maybe

[spiral flicker]

scav rap op

[old prism]

ah I have mostly been checking trucks in back of goshan and mantis

maybe thats y I couldn't find them

[limber cliff]

i wanna say scav rep is worth it but i've seen someone here get a marked key with -0.6 fence rep

[spiral flicker]

well he is lucky boi

[nocturne lintel]

what does scav rep even do for you

besides fence rep

[limber cliff]

print money

literally it prints money

if you get anything above 4 it's like a 33% chance at spawning with a labs card which is like 60k to therapist

plus you can spawn with pretty much any key on you

or any food item

rarely military tech

rarely tech

[strong barn]

Ive spawned with merin 3 times this wipe as a scav 😂

[spiral flicker]

thats why i have 75 mil lol

[dusky geyser]

mf sells labs to therapist

[limber cliff]

stims too

[limber cliff]

just saying it's free money if you dont run labs

[strong barn]

I collect like 9-10 cards from my scav runs over a week
then mass sell them to her when my wallets are full

[spiral flicker]

i died to scav

fuck this

biggest idiot on earth

[limber cliff]

oh also at 4 fence rep you start to not have scav bosses shoot at you 100% of the time

and at 6 rep it's guaranteed they dont kill you

[dusky geyser]

⛹️‍♂️

⛹️

[karmic axle]

thats nice

except

ay 6.0 rep

if u kill boss

-6

[spiral flicker]

then dont kill bosses lol

[mint light]

6.1 rep

kill boss

6 rep

[karmic axle]

wait

what

._.

[whole thistle]

I do be getting a lot of pmc kills when I run mmac 153

[spiral flicker]

;-;

[karmic axle]

I want hoarder in my name as well

[limber cliff]

meta kit

[spiral flicker]

lol

[limber cliff]

its a .2-.5 rep loss

[kindred grotto]

change it

[karmic axle]

Lazy NGL

can a mod do it for me

thanks

[kindred grotto]

lmao

[whole thistle]

I leg metad tagilla 3 times while speedrunning scav kill quests on night factory lmao

[spiral flicker]

[karmic axle]

i leg metad him with RIP ammo

[mint light]

[karmic axle]

[whole thistle]

He dies in 4 shots of Magnum buck to the leg or 5 flechettes to the face

[split dagger]

👍

[spiral flicker]

[karmic axle]

[nocturne lintel]

[karmic axle]

u know that

[nocturne lintel]

thats so convenient

[spiral flicker]

we have our hideout where we are doing giveaways

[karmic axle]

nice bag

[whole thistle]

I've encountered him a lot while using shotguns

[strong barn]

cute bag but does it come in mens?

[whole thistle]

Big words make me feel smart

[old prism]

if u leg meta tagilla when he has a hammer does he switch to his gun

[whole thistle]

No

[whole thistle]

No lmao

[strong barn]

:(

[old prism]

[whole thistle]

My strat is to quick peek and shoot him once so he starts healing then go take his legs off @old prism

[mint light]

tagilla is baby tier ez

[spiral flicker]

true

[old prism]

my strategy is to sprint to office to complete secured perimeter then he shoots me from the side and kills me because I was naked with a shotgun

[karmic axle]

no sadly
