[stone surge]

[tulip gate]

[orchid depot]

does anyone know if this is a good gun for a level 14?

[stone surge]

no it's shit, but since you're low lvl just use whatever you have honestly

[dawn geyser]

That is a top tier foregrip, I would probably save it for a better build

[stone surge]

^

[dawn geyser]

Buy a grip from skier and use that 74U up

It's not a great gun but it'll have to do

[stone surge]

it's not even the gun being shitty, but it's a combo of the gun firerate + the availability of good ammo for a low lvl player for that caliber.

but yea that foregrip canted RK-1 is pretty expensive/good, def swap it out for something cheap

[orchid depot]

is a kac grip good?

[stone surge]

the kac vertical? no not really

its better than nothing though

it improves ergo, but it does nothing for your recoil

[orchid depot]

oh

[stone surge]

and recoil is more important generally so you def want recoil improvements out of your foregrip

[night zealot]

is lendlease worth doing?

[stone surge]

in my opinion not really, but it depends what you wanna do in tarkov.

if you want Kappa, then yes. If you like quests and don't mind doing them, sure.

the reward is also pretty decent

[orchid depot]

what is a sherpa

[stone surge]

so depends on you. It doesn't really unlock anything important (imo), so for me no.

[stone surge]

experienced players dedicated to help new players out and learn them the game.

or fundamentals

[silver jewel]

i do the job without the title 🥲

[pliant marten]

so i put a moonshine in Flea market for 20k above lowest price by mistake, I cancelled it , and it never came back to me. its been hours lol

[silver jewel]

cancelling doesnt make it come back, it sets it at 1 min 30 timer before it returns

someone probably bought it.

[pliant marten]

hmmm, strange. maybe ya

i saw them for 230k, posted mine for 250k

maybe i did 25k by mistake or something

[silver jewel]

moonshine sells instantly

people doing scav case just instabuy it

[stone surge]

Same, I just do it to help with specific goals like quests or so. I feel like with a sherpa title you have to put in hours and are obligated in a sense. 😛

not sure if there are actual requirements in how many hours you need to be available or if that's a thing at all

[silver jewel]

yeah, ive donated so much

[bleak oak]

I'm level 38, any tips from chads to improve at pvp and win more fights - besides just practice?

[silver jewel]

sure, let me give you a few

[bleak oak]

I'm all ears

[silver jewel]

alright

First off, have a better mindset about guns and gear

"Meta" guns and armor are simply tools to help you perform better in game, as well as help you feel more secure while fighting.

[reef matrix]

best barter items to sell to peacekeeper? thx

[silver jewel]

PVP should not be seen as "oh shoot I'm going to lose my loot", but rather as an opportunity to gain gun skill as well as gain more gear.

[bleak oak]

I die just as quick with armor 6 than no armor 😄 in one example, the dude had an ash-12 and it didn't matter what armor I had

I die mostly to dumb mistakes, bad decisions, bad timing, and the game fucking me over

[silver jewel]

you can have a greed motivated mindset like I do, where you go for gear, and with that gear, you can "LVNDMARK" every fight, where you push eveyrthing, and having an unconventional push can help you win a fight

[stone surge]

ash-12 isnt that great vs tier6

if they magdump you, you'll still die though

[bleak oak]

then it must have been the player, because I was dead in a second while having the surprise on the guy in tech room of reserve.. he jumped down, I was behind cover, I full auto'ed him and he still won

to be fair I hesisted a bit because I thought maybe it was a teammate

[stone surge]

i mean, did you die to thorax or limbs?

[bleak oak]

that got me killed many times

hmm not sure, I just remember seeing my whole body going red in a split second

[tulip gate]

unexpectedly killed shturman for the first time

[bleak oak]

What do you mean by unconventional push?

and I guess more aggression means winning more?

[bleak oak]

Let's GOOOO.
Killed Reshala and all his guards the other day, I didn't think I'd survive that one lol. I was fortunate not to have other pmcs push me while I was taking my time with the boss & guards

[tulip gate]

yeah i got lucky too

me and my friends were straight up just shooting at every scav in there

didnt even know we were fighting shturman

until i saw his hood

[sturdy star]

so i have been told the best way to level up strength is to go into a raid with a ton of shotgun shells and pop a stim that makes you run a long time then just run around. is this true or am i being fucked with ?

[tulip gate]

all the pmcs were fighting somewhere else

[stone surge]

It depends, imo agressive playstyle is generally better when executed well. Camping will be better if you have a good angle and no1 heard you.

if someone heard you and you still hold an angle, you more than likely will die to someone that can push properly

I'm always surprised when a new player hears me and I hear him and he's suddenly silent

[bleak oak]

What do you think is the best way to push my pvp to the next level? Just take all the fights (go towards gunfire) ?

[stone surge]

and I just know where he is and he's just there holding a corner, it's way too easy to kill them

[bleak oak]

in other words, more practice

[bleak oak]

gotcha

[stone surge]

the biggest misconception of a new player is prob: "oh damn, I heard someone walk, i'll be silent now and hope he doesnt hear me'

a higher lvl player has better hearing than a low lvl player

so he'll hear you first, most of the time.

[silver jewel]

more agression, as well as pushing your grenades

[bleak oak]

for example, we were fighting a couple pmcs on reserve around control room, I used my 4 nades (3 frag, 1 flash) to push that one pmc left, and he still one-tapped me with .45 ACP AP in the chest with class 4 rig... not sure that's supposed to happened, but I did expose my chest instead of doing a quick peak.. he was holding an angle by that point and didn't get flashed. I guess pushing with grenades is only good if you actually push properly

[civic oyster]

finally did a full raid on lighthouse and killed a squad and got looted, but got screwed over with how far out extracts were and couldnt make it out in time

[bleak oak]

damn, that sucks

[civic oyster]

at first i didnt really like the map, which i still have my gripes about it but i like it now

wish there werent so many invisible walls on certain hills that look like you could walk right up them

[bleak oak]

yep, invisible walls are annoying

kinda dumb

[stone surge]

yea i feel like the 'wall' should be opened up a bit more at the back where the villas/big buildings are.

it's like a long choke there

[night zealot]

is koround any good?

[bleak oak]

ya, class 5

repairs decently

[stone surge]

korund kinda sucks

its one if not the worst tier 5 armor in the game.

[bleak oak]

you can trade for 4 diaries with prapor

[stone surge]

it'll save you against 1 shot of m80 and that's it dont expect more.

and it brings massive penalties to movement

it's decent for factory for quick in/out

[night zealot]

yea i just got prapor 3 and im bored of using mmacs

[pure talon]

Are you sure you didn't sustained any other damage?
.45 AP has exactly 65% chance to penetrate class 4 armor, and exactly 1% to fragment which would be necessary to one-tap since it's only does 70 dmg.

[stone surge]

Gzhel is better tbh but it just repairs shit.

TV-110 is great though for general use.

good storage, long lasting tier4 + repairs good

[night zealot]

i dont have ragman 3 yet only level 26

[stone surge]

I use(d) TV-110 for the majority of my playthrough, esp since most ppl use m62/BP this wipe

[night zealot]

why the fuck did i say therapist lmao

[stone surge]

korund doesn't do anything for you there

[bleak oak]

Pretty sure I had not sustained damage yet, but I could be wrong, or I got really unlucky, or he might have 2-tapped me instead of 1-tapped.. in any case, it sucked 😄

More info about the Korund btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQT9PAJ4Ui8

[unkempt ingot]

is this a good sr-25 build?

[mint light]

i like how u showed the attachments instead of the recoil and ergo so we have to figure out ourselves

[stone surge]

Not really. it uses ultra silencer which isn't the best for sr-25 while super expensive/good for the mutant

better replace it with the PRS silencer, since it's a meta build

other than that sure it's good

[unkempt ingot]

i use the barter

i happened to have them

[stone surge]

that vid isn't 100% accurate on the korund as he doesn't really go over armor damage the meta bullets do. He goes over that it can still hold m855a1 decently well at 39/45 dura and stuff, but that's not how it works when you get shot at by actual m855a1.

If your korund is 45/45 and you get shot even once with m855a1, your armor will be wrecked, it'll be below 30 dura and at that point the next bullet will penetrate like 80% of the time. so it can't even hold a second bullet of m855a1.

[mint light]

i will not sell my gilla hats i love them

gilla hat is meta

half mask and ghost solo

[bleak oak]

Fair enough.. tbh armor doesn't matter much against players with good ammo, only against scavs and lower caliber players

[stone surge]

yea and for that reason tv-110 is better imo. You don't sacrifice movement and even if you get shot at 2 times by m855a1, you're still protected vs scavs.

whereas with a korund, you don't.

since it'll be zero'd out

and a 50/85 tv-110 is better than a 0/45 korund also.

[bleak oak]

once the korund is zero'ed, I agree, but the tv has a much higher pen chance for the same caliber than a class 5

[stone surge]

yea the korund really only has the benefit of holding that first shot

[bleak oak]

ya

fair

[stone surge]

and it can save your life for sure.

[bleak oak]

there's no good protection against good ammo 😄

[stone surge]

yup pretty much, that's why tv-110 is so popular in labs.

like, almost everyone runs it there simply for storage & protection vs raiders to an extent.

[bleak oak]

makes sense

[stone surge]

and a gzhel is also cheap af with less movement penalties + better effective durability.

it's just a 1 time use when it does break

[bleak oak]

just doesn't repair well

ceramic

[mint light]

i prefer gzhel to korund but the ceramic is rough

korund be coming in through insurance doe

[stone surge]

I kinda wish tactec would be similar to the old price a few wipes ago

[bleak oak]

and cheap when you trade for diaries

[stone surge]

since it's outmatched by CPC now anyways

[long sky]

my inventory is full and i dont know what to sell

[mint light]

scav guns

[bleak oak]

get a junk box

[stone surge]

Do you have a junkbox?

[long sky]

its full

[mint light]

i guarantee u have scav guns

[bleak oak]

get another

[stone surge]

Sort it and show pic

more than likely you can sell the majority to therapist

[long sky]

yeah i have guns, ill send pic in a second

[mint light]

alpha gamer problems

[long sky]

me? im edge of darkness

first wipe

[mint light]

buh

[bleak oak]

then you should have room

[long sky]

i dont know what to sell

[mint light]

yeah u prolly got the most pointless shit

[stone surge]

yea but if he doesntk now what to sell

[bleak oak]

use www.tarkov-market.com to know what to keep or sell

[long sky]

ill send pics in like 2 minutes]\

[stone surge]

just show pic of ur junkbox and maybe some of your stash

[bleak oak]

look up everything you have

it tells you what's needed for quests and hideout

sell the rest

[long sky]

its all there

[split dagger]

Holy shit

[long sky]

Great first impressions

[mint light]

first issue

no bag stacks

second issue

no cases

3rd issue

useless shit

[long sky]

yeah my daypack has like 10 of those size bags, i dont know where to get cases, and i dont know what to keep/sell

[split dagger]

if it was me I would sell 90% of the stuff

[long sky]

im level 12

[mint light]

u dont need to keep mags cuz they cost like 1k

[long sky]

ok

is it worth selling my whole stash and keeping some items and play rest of wipe like that

[mint light]

gawd damn ur stash got me fucked up

[mint light]

no

[long sky]

ok sounds reasonable

[mint light]

u have so many mini meds u dont need

bandages are cheap

esmarch cheap

cheese sucks ass

[split dagger]

majority of the stuff you have isnt worth anything and can be bought again

if you can buy something for cheap you shouldnt hoard it

[long sky]

what ammos should i keep

[mint light]

70 percent of that ammo sucks

ACTUALLY 95%

[stone surge]

sell guns you dont use and sell atleast: gphone, dvd, wd40, badge,rooster,batteries,ram, shus,hand drill, lupo to therapist

[mint light]

keep snb m80 55a1 rip and quakemaker is up to you and maybe keep bp

[stone surge]

i bet the majority of those guns have durability below 90%

there's no reason to ever go in raid with broken guns

[mint light]

holy shit i didnt even see the guns

[stone surge]

and if you dont play with them, no reason to keep them either. You can sell them for almost the same price as you can buy them

[long sky]

all very good advice

[stone surge]

they sell for like 15-20k and you can buy them for like 20-40k

[mint light]

true

[long sky]

i mainly run factory cause its great fun and pretty alright loot. what guns should i bring into those raids

and what ammo to buy

[mint light]

there is no loot in factory

pick a different map

[long sky]

i do customs sometimes but i like factory for the scav loot, easy money if i can sell everything

and scav boss

[mint light]

scav boss as a scav? oh no dont tell me u kill scavs as a scav

[rain wing]

wtf is this logic

💀

[left hound]

i know how to get shit done (challenges and shit) and feel like i could really move faster in the game if i get better at pvp, whats the fastes way to REALLY improve, i almost never see people before they see me and other stuff like that

[rain wing]

this guy probably used to getting like 70k per scav raid smh

[long sky]

the best way to improve aim is to train with aim lab

[mint light]

WHAT

TERRIBLE ADVICE

[left hound]

ik how to aim im not an idiot

[mint light]

this is tarkov not valorant

[rain wing]

don't do what this guy says

[rain wing]

^

[earnest hull]

learn pmc spawns, move monitor 6 inches closer to face, drop work/school. easy clap

[rain wing]

no it is shit

[long sky]

aim labs is bad for aim percision?

[rain wing]

also he never said anything about aim

[left hound]

i know what you mean, learn from your mistakes

[tacit ferry]

joking right

[rain wing]

aim labs does not work for tarkov

[mint light]

dosent correlate for tarkov at all

[tacit ferry]

?

[long sky]

dying gives experience, and that helps players improve, but cracked aim is a great help

[rain wing]

oh wait I got mixed up with mr aimlabs here

[rain wing]

aim labs won't give you cracked aim in tarkov

lmao

[mint light]

tarkov bullets dont go center of screen

[rain wing]

^

[long sky]

it did with me

[rain wing]

fuck we don't even have a crosshair

[mint light]

ur also lvl 12 and run factory only

[left hound]

i feel like if i could get into FAIR fights where i have a second to fight back i could win alot more because im really smart when i get a fair fight (i know its not always gonna happen but there has gotta to be a way to force fair fights

[long sky]

maybe its different for everyone but aimlabs helped me with aim

with aim i said

[mint light]

factory had only people with lvl 2 armor and shotguns

[tacit ferry]

This is not valorant sir

[mint light]

gotta get game sense and know where people are

[rain wing]

mf really out here defending aimlabs in tarkov

that's funny

[long sky]

whats the difference?

[mint light]

tarkov bullets dont go in the middle of ur fucking screen

[rain wing]

in valo at least your bullets actually go center of screen

while standing still at least

[tacit ferry]

Between valorant and Tarkov??

[long sky]

no

[rain wing]

lmfao

this guy

[long sky]

difference between aim training, in game training vs aimlabs training

[left hound]

lmaaoo people come out of the trees like vietnam and i dont even get a SECOND before a godlike shooter is beaming me in the dome with green tracer round

[tacit ferry]

Idk if you’re understanding us

[mint light]

that would be m62

[tacit ferry]

Red is 55a1 right

Or whatever it was

Idr

[mint light]

56

[stone surge]

56a1 is tracer

[tacit ferry]

wait no red is 56

Ueah

[left hound]

thats not the point lmao the point is i can never start the fight and get the first shot

[tacit ferry]

I have a shit load of 56

[tacit ferry]

just do it

[mint light]

game knowledge isnt there yet. because ur lvl 10

[rain wing]

56a1 is pretty dookie

all 5.56 is pretty dookie tbf

[left hound]

[tacit ferry]

Better than just m856 and m855

[tacit ferry]

play

[rain wing]

play the game

die a lot

[long sky]

where do you get killed from most often? behind or head on

[rain wing]

[tacit ferry]

bro that’s genius

[long sky]

factory is great cause no snipers being far and shi

[rain wing]

factory is shit to learn pvp lmfao

[left hound]

LMAOOOO dude you have to be trolling bro

[mint light]

factory fucking sucks

even the lvl 10 thinks ur trolling

[rain wing]

I should try that

[tacit ferry]

play reserve

There’s no snipers

At all

[mint light]

reserve is pretty cool

[tacit ferry]

Underground especially

No hostility

So much W loot

[long sky]

na factory is fun, i play to get money and level up but factory is more fast pace

[mint light]

u dont make money in factory genius

[left hound]

im not a rere i know how the game works im talking abt the players i just wanna learn where the players play and such and how i can play around that and get a good spot

[long sky]

get in get out, boom another raid

[rain wing]

no hostility until you run into another pmc or the dozen raiders

then you kill them all

and get big money

[tacit ferry]

I know

I’m kidding with him

[mint light]

if u be sprinting its harder hit u 😳

[left hound]

i used to run factory alot because of the same reason then i hit level 2 and realised customs is the first map i wanna learn

[tacit ferry]

underground reserve goes hard

It’s basically factory

[rain wing]

fr

[tacit ferry]

Just with chads

[mint light]

woods is so fun

[rain wing]

factory with extra steps

[long sky]

yeah, but people are forgeting about scav boss farming

[rain wing]

...

[tacit ferry]

Fr

[left hound]

tagilla is not THAT good

[mint light]

u probably die to tagilla 80% of the time

[tacit ferry]

what

tagilla is shit

I’ve literally killed him with a double barrel

[mint light]

tagilla is ez and his loot shows it

[rain wing]

It’s a one shot

[left hound]

escobar no offense at all but i think I COULD GIVE better advice at level 10

[rain wing]

you could

[left hound]

well to start i liked to learn customs first, iknow where people like to play i just cant a good jump alot

[mint light]

customs rn is rough because when it hits late wipe its a huge pvp map

[rain wing]

^^

[mint light]

if u want money go hit woods

[left hound]

oh yeah im a bear and been on reserve because fuck rogues

[mint light]

[tacit ferry]

Those r my favorites

[rain wing]

get a brain first

[left hound]

escobar ive been sniped 1 time ever in the 100 raids ive don

[rain wing]

ohh

[mint light]

lol

[rain wing]

escobar if you literally don't stand still for like more than 15 seconds you won't get sniped

[long sky]

whats so hard about it

[rain wing]

literally just run to the nearest cover

[long sky]

bulelt drop?

[mint light]

extreme range

[left hound]

worrying about the small majority is legit why fascism failed stop being a fascist and play the damn game

[rain wing]

escobar

[long sky]

what does that mean

[rain wing]

tell me

[mint light]

and dmg drop is killer

[rain wing]

how many times have you been sniped?

from long range

[long sky]

long range? like 80-150m or farther

like 200m+

[rain wing]

long range

[long sky]

1km?

[rain wing]

not that far

💀

[mint light]

ONE KILOMETER

[rain wing]

"oh yeah I got sniped from a kilometer away before"

[long sky]

fortnite got 3km snipes

[left hound]

escobar go to customs for your next 100 raids and learn the map, where people play, the spawns. it will help your pvp alot and alot of new player quest are customs

[mint light]

[left hound]

escobar go to customs for your next 100 raids and learn the map, where people play, the spawns. it will help your pvp alot and alot of new player quest are customs

[long sky]

i know the map pretty good, just need to learn spawns and caches

[tacit ferry]

Interchange is pretty small

the important parts**

[rain wing]

[bleak oak]

Any pvp advice against chads? What are some "chad tactics" ?

[long sky]

anyone can be a chad

[rain wing]

like tactics that chads use?

Shift + W

[rain wing]

except for you

[bleak oak]

lol

[left hound]

first tactic dont listen to escobar

[long sky]

im already chad

just that my gun jams sometimes

[bleak oak]

depends on the definition of chads.. but I guess I just want to win more fights than I lose

[left hound]

chad with the vpo he finds off scavs

[bleak oak]

Currently I lose more than I win against pmcs

[mint light]

skill issue

[left hound]

same problem for me take lot of time to learn the game and what people do

[bleak oak]

yep, i'm trying to increase my skill

[rain wing]

I still lose fights but it's mostly about positioning

💀

[long sky]

vpo got me a full kit once, it tore the armour up

[mint light]

positioning and ur probably getting gear diffed

[long sky]

i had to sell it to fence

[mint light]

that is all

[rain wing]

^

like I got extract camped on fucking dorms the other day

by a guy and his boyfriend

[left hound]

ive never been extract camps

lamoo LLLLLL

[tacit ferry]

Ru guys still arguing with him

[rain wing]

if I feel like it

[left hound]

same im just in that mood to be a bully rn

[rain wing]

frfr

[tacit ferry]

I wanna run thermals more

[mint light]

im the best bully

[left hound]

i think you should run sum bitches

[mint light]

u cannot top max

[mint light]

wanna join max gang

[rain wing]

but I'm also Max

[left hound]

oh boy do i

[mint light]

ok you are now Late Max

[long sky]

is my sv98 worth keeping or for sale

[mint light]

change ur name

[mint light]

is it a scav sv98

[long sky]

i bought it off fence so maybe

[mint light]

bruh

buying from fence

[long sky]

yeah i learned my lesson there

[tacit ferry]

Does it have a thermal

[long sky]

scope? i bought it without one

[bleak oak]

Best way to increase your skills in tarkov? Running solo and playing a lot?

[mint light]

you are not the 3rd max ur like the 39th

[long sky]

i put a piliad 432 on it

[left hound]

hush

[bleak oak]

i'm level 38 and doing great against scavs and even some bosses now, but losing a lot of pmc fights, and it doesn't feel great

[stone surge]

yup I mean the 3 skills with the most impact are str,endurance and perception

[long sky]

is it too late to try and get kappa this wipe

[tacit ferry]

yeah

[bleak oak]

how much do they affect the win/loss ration? Do these really give you any advantage as you level them up?

[mint light]

mega

[long sky]

its allowed to post music here?

[stone surge]

perception is just searching and picking up everything even if you dont need it; then drop immediatly after.
str/endurance is easily trained by popping sj6 on shoreline and sprinting 1 full sprintbar while overweight with buckshot WITHOUT jumping/stopping, then dropping the buckshots to do the same for endurance.

[long sky]

https://soundcloud.com/alejandro-arita-758090205/ab-dankoo-still-alive

[stone surge]

this way you can get the big 3 maxed pretty quick

perception max takes ages though

[bleak oak]

how does strenght and endurance help with pvp though?

[long sky]

how do i put the song without puting a link

[mint light]

strength makes u incredibly fast

endurance makes u run longer

[tacit ferry]

Can someone give me rsass

[mint light]

perception u can hear extremely well

[bleak oak]

fair enough if you're chasing someone or wanna run away

[bleak oak]

ah ok that's what I thought

[stone surge]

WAY faster, more stamina and not overweight with meta gear

[ancient thorn]

hey guys, where did yall find this drill

[mint light]

woods

[ancient thorn]

im only this drill short from lvl 2 stash

[ancient thorn]

any specific place

[mint light]

med camp

[bleak oak]

How much buckshot you gotta have on you?

[mint light]

it has a pretty consistent spawn

next to a ratio crate

[stone surge]

if your normal gear already makes you overweight you dont need it

[ancient thorn]

hmmmm, will look it up

[stone surge]

but buckshot is cheap to make you overweight if you're not yet overw

[bleak oak]

ah ok so it doesn't matter how overweight you are

[stone surge]

nop you wanna be overweight by a small margin

[ancient thorn]

is med camp that place with the containers next to the big pond ?

[stone surge]

so you can then drop 1 item so you train endurance too

in the same raid

[bleak oak]

gotcha

[stone surge]

i always did shoreline with sj6 and powerlvl end/str this way

[mint light]

med camp is titled military camp on the map its very close to ruaf roadblock

[stone surge]

max before reaching lvl 30 that way

and did normal loot route

[ancient thorn]

oh, i see

[stone surge]

its important to run as much as you can with 1 sprintbar though without jumping/stopping, because you have EXP bonus on the first sprint

[ancient thorn]

do u think i can found if i scav woods, or other players will have taken it already ?

[stone surge]

if you stop for a moment, you lose it

[ancient thorn]

my pmc only has shit loot

[mint light]

about 60% of the time med camp will be unlooted in my experience

[ancient thorn]

okie, will try

[weary crown]

are the new bosses in customs yet?

[rain wing]

the rogues?

yeah

[stone surge]

only the rogues, if you mean the 3 new bosses, no and they will come to lighthouse not customs.

atleast not that I know

[bleak oak]

Best full auto guns to help win more fights (low recoil, hit hard) ?

[ancient thorn]

in this area ?

[mint light]

yes

go straight

then look to your lef and there is wooden box and next to it a drill can spawn

if not loot the boxes and see if a drill will spawn

[ancient thorn]

ok, will try and loot this place often for the drill

[mint light]

its on top of some white box lookin thing

[ancient thorn]

thx for the heads-up

[mint light]

where it spawns

[ancient thorn]

around here ?

[mint light]

no

go right

then left

and run to the box against the wall

[ancient thorn]

getting hotter

[mint light]

ok ok

go that wooden crate

and there is a right box on the right of it

it can spawn hand drill

if lucky

i see it A LOT

[ancient thorn]

oooooh ok

[mint light]

yeah there

it will soawn there

[long sky]

what ammo is worth keeping and what do i sell to trader

cap

[dawn geyser]

Max.

You know better.

[mint light]

wipe yesterday

[long sky]

what guns worth buying

i was thinking of runnins mosin kits but what ammo do i use

[mint light]

u should use t46

[stone surge]

depends on you

[mint light]

put .366 geksa in ur akm

[long sky]

i need an ammo that is good priced, and great dammage

[stone surge]

what lvl are you?

[long sky]

12

no flea market yet

[stone surge]

honestly I would pick a gun that shoots 7.62 PS but that's me.

[long sky]

what guns shoot 762 ps...

ak and vepr?

[stone surge]

AK-103/104, AKMN, AKM, SKS, OP-SKS

there are more, but these are the ones you can prob find/buy

Also UMP + FMJ ammo is pretty good too for early lvl

just try to hit limbs, esp if theyre very geared.

FMJ shreds limbs

[long sky]

psgs good for ak 105

its 545 39

[stone surge]

no

[long sky]

what should i get instead? i only have level one traders to buy from

[stone surge]

well I just mentioned

[long sky]

oh ok

[stone surge]

7.62 PS with any of the mentioned guns on the first row

OR

UMP + FMJ ammo

[long sky]

ok thanks

[stone surge]

all available at lvl 1

UMP/FMJ ammo combo is super solid, just don't expect to kill geared players by hitting the chest, because it's not great at penetration

but it does a lot of damage to limbs

so if they dont have stomach protection or you shoot at legs, they drop pretty quick

[long sky]

762 ps gzh? or just ps

[stone surge]

or a headshot ofc

7.62 PS

[long sky]

do i sell the gzh

[stone surge]

7.62 ps gzh yea

[long sky]

its full name is 7.62 ps gzh?

[stone surge]

yes

[long sky]

ok

[stone surge]

the 5.45x39 caliber in general is just not good (worst caliber in the game if you ask me)

and the 'good' ammo for that caliber are hard to come by (or atleast locked behind lategame traders/quests)

they generally have low flesh damage and the guns have low fire rate

so it takes ages to kill players and AI

556 can atleast onetap AI in the head

and can snipe to an extent due to fast velocity

As if 5.45x39 BS is easier to come by

and let's not talk about igolnik because that round is a joke

you see BS ammo everywhere?

probably because you don't use it 🤙

i mean 5.45 is just bad, the guns are dogshit, low firerate

low dps

[rain wing]

and so are 7.62 guns

x39

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/623271090738954259.webp?size=48

maybe if 5.45 did more than fuck all damage

[stone surge]

you know m995 has 40 flesh 53 pen right/

behind guns with A LOTTT higher fire rate?

• higher velocity

[rain wing]

ok but do you actually run m995?

where tf do you find m995

[stone surge]

I don't run m4s as much anymore, because there's no reason to run anything other than mutants this wipe

[rain wing]

oh wait are we talking ab 5.56 vs 5.45?

[stone surge]

yes

[rain wing]

they're both dogshit 💀

also

look at this craft

[stone surge]

well i think we both agreedon that

but we're discussing if one had to really earn that dogshit award

then 5.45 sits on the throne imo

[rain wing]

5.56

yeah

[stone surge]

i mean, you guys are probably told this by your cult. so I don't think i'll win this discussion.

You're what? :4

and nah i was joking and yes

everytime i take my m4 out i'm dissapointed so I won't argue there

😛

The problem is just that any SMG does the job of 5.45 better really

the fire rate is so disgustingly low

for an assault rifle

600RPM with 40-45 flesh damage should not be a thing

[rain wing]

.45 ap 😩

what

[stone surge]

.45AP hard to get? lol

[rain wing]

tf you mean

pk3??

hard???

[stone surge]

eod doesnt matter

[rain wing]

^

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/623271090738954259.webp?size=48

[stone surge]

pk3 is like super early

if anything, the general opinion is that .45 AP is too easy to get

esp compared to 9x19 AP

like way too accessible

the people that hit pk3 have A HUGE powerspike

early in the wipe, plenty of ppl hit this a few weeks in a wipe.

[tight helm]

LF someone to do a Scav run with.

[fierce falcon]

@tight helm id be down. (Note I am low level [lvl 8]

I only know somewhat of customs and a very very minimal amount of shoreline.

[tight helm]

@fierce falcon Same head to channel 25

[fierce falcon]

Aight.

@tight helm On what channel specially?

LFG beginners?

LFG customs?

[tight helm]

Bush you were in my channel.

[fierce falcon]

oh I was?!

[tight helm]

Yeah Begginers 25 and you weren't talking.

[fierce falcon]

Press v to talk

[tight helm]

Anyone down for an interchange run?

[orchid depot]

is this any good

[dawn geyser]

Not meta but it's dece

[mint light]

incredibly meh

[stone surge]

most of the mods (handguard/foregrip for example) are pretty good

the silencer just lets it down

and the stock

if you replace those 2 you can make it actually good instead of 'meh' and expensive.

[rain wing]

it's like if you were trying to go meta

[fierce falcon]

What kind of mounts work for the mp133?

[rain wing]

but then ran out of money in the middle

[dawn geyser]

lol

[rain wing]

and just settled with a bunch of mid parts

[dawn geyser]

Orrrrr, it's if you were a beginner and asking about it in beginners assistance

=p

[dawn geyser]

Mounts for what?

Sights?

Flashlights?

[stone surge]

it happens quite often that new players find these kind of guns on other players. For some reason I still see people running mutants with like 65 recoil or whatever

[fierce falcon]

Mounts so I can attach a sight

[dawn geyser]

The SPRM can mount sights

Barter at Jaeger LL1, buyable at LL2

[fierce falcon]

alright thanks

[limber cliff]

soon

[stuck geode]

can i not put a suppressor on the dvl-10?

[limber cliff]

you can

[stuck geode]

i cant seem to be able to find any in the linked search

[twin ember]

Would anyone be able to help me complete the Scrap Metal task on Shoreline for Peacekeeper. I dont know that map at all

[sterile ether]

i keep trying to upgrade and i keep getting error code 3032

#community-support

[rain wing]

is there any point in running these without the fs?

or am I better off with like

ulach

or achhc

[shell kindle]

Idk I just run what I get

[brave wagon]

Ulach is arguably best for no FS

Got that ear protection

[rain wing]

u right

you get to level 15

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/623271090738954259.webp?size=48

[visual vigil]

yea how

das crazy bro

[rain wing]

do quests

[visual vigil]

thanks for teaching me

bro rlly repeated what the game says

[rain wing]

np

[visual vigil]

how do i see current level

[rain wing]

well if you can read then you'd know how to level up

overall

mf doesn't even know his own level 💀

that's funny

[visual vigil]

got it

[rain wing]

now go level up

[visual vigil]

nah this guy the most unhelpful guy ever 💀

[rain wing]

I fucking told you how to level up 💀

lmao

this guy gna come back in 2 hrs asking the same question

btw it is pretty late wipe

and we don't really know when the game wipes

so it could wipe tomorrow

the day after tomorrow

[frozen cape]

So, noob question. I've killed a couple PMC's who had more pocket slots than I do... I have 4 1x1 pocket slots, the PMC's I killed had 5 2x1 pocket slots. How exactly do people increase their pocket size?

[rain wing]

that's not a pmc

that's reshala

lmao

[frozen cape]

...oh

bosses?

[rain wing]

yes

[frozen cape]

ahhh

[rain wing]

wait no

reshala has 4 pockets

what map were you on?

[frozen cape]

I think Customs?

[rain wing]

hmm

reshala has 4 2x1 pockets

did he have a golden pistol?

[frozen cape]

no

[rain wing]

did he have a pistol?

[frozen cape]

It was probably just bosses I killed, I can't remember what maps they were on or what they were carrying, all I noticed was the bigger pocket size lol

[rain wing]

yeah

also all pmcs will have dogtags

bosses will not

[frozen cape]

Right, okay

[rain wing]

scavs, bosses, rogues, raiders and cultists all don't have dogtags

usually each boss has their own special item

and they have larger pockets usually

[frozen cape]

Right like Killa has that T5 helm w/ t5 visor?

[rain wing]

yes

[brittle canyon]

t4 helm with t5 face

[rain wing]

wait

yeah

helm t4

mb

the helm itself is pretty dookie ngl

medium ricochet

t4

[frozen cape]

ah gotcha

[rain wing]

reshala has his golden TT

[cold fog]

Reshala has a shit pistol

Shturman has an SVD

Killa has the helmet and maybe armor ?

Sanitar has a bag full meds

[frozen cape]

is t5 max for a helm or do they go to t6 like body armor?

[rain wing]

sanitar has his backpack

[rain wing]

t5 is max I believe

[cold fog]

I can't remember Glukhar or Tagillas drops

[rain wing]

tagilla has his helmet

and rig

[cold fog]

I wish Tagilla dropped his hammer

[rain wing]

glukhar

ash12

I think

[cold fog]

Sounds about right

[rain wing]

god that would be funny

Zabralo

altyn/rys

factory

or just tagilla cosplay

[brittle canyon]

consumes 50% stamina per swing unless doped with obodoboloobos

[cold fog]

Seriously, just run around with that hammer. You can't even lose it because melee weapon

Beat naked PMCs to death on factory to scare the Jesus out of them

[rain wing]

traumatize a little timmy

[silver jewel]

thats my job 😄

nothing like introducing them to Altyn-Hexgrid chads

and watching them try to run after i black both their legs

its amazing

[rain wing]

oh my god imagine a fucking walking tank storms down office hallway

[cold fog]

Damn that's cold

[rain wing]

altyn, zabralo and tagilla hammer in hand

and little timmy from across the hallway sprays into his chest with shitty 9mm ammo

[weak agate]

New to tarkov last week and at this point in a wipe it feels like I've come in at totally the wrong time. I'm assuming it gets better at wipe as literally everyone is running around like a tank and I'm there with lvl 3 armour and an sks 😫

[silver jewel]

yeah you have, its an unfortunate tine as its extremely late in wipe and everyone has farmed gear for days

[unkempt hawk]

ANYONE WANNA HOP IN begginer 12 and help me with my tasks to get the flea market

[silver jewel]

I'm not saying you can't get rich, its definitely possible

[weak agate]

Yeah it is what it is, at least I'm able to get awareness of the maps and a few quests done. At wipe does it become a much more balanced game as everyone is running shitty gear

[silver jewel]

yes, but there will always be 5 mans liek mine that go labs the first day of wipe. It's just how it is

[weak agate]

I'm good on money but buying anything worthwhile is impossible especially with no flea market yet

[unkempt hawk]

when is the wipe?

[silver jewel]

month to month and a half imo

[violet sparrow]

any tips for shooter born in heaven?

im struggling with it

[shell kindle]

Don’t do it

That’s the tip

[limber cliff]

lose any moral compass you have

camp extracts

camp loot spawns

[violet sparrow]

last wipe i got a good one on tech room and i got my 3 on reserve pretty easily but i suck at customs and i havent ever gotten one on shoreline

and i just suck at woods in general so ill get there when i get there

[idle yoke]

need help with getting my final stim for samples, i have labs keycards and the black card but don't know the map well, not great at getting around or extracting

[bold kernel]

whats ur general rule on dealing with other player scavs

they lit just fkin shoot u lmao

its crazy

and i dont wanna kos because that just ruins my rep

[prime comet]

not a terrible moonshine case

[violet sparrow]

i typically avoid them as much as i can cuz yeah 3/4 of the time they just kill you

[misty ginkgo]

Trust me, shoot just by their side so they think they’re shooting at them.

When they shoot, and hit you - hit them in the face.
I’ve earned 0.5 scav karma in one day doing that

[bold kernel]

lol

[rain wing]

it's ratty

but it works

or

if there's an airdrop

camp it

someones bound to kill each other

then you get rep

• loot

[neon whale]

So im trying to to the rogue route. so far the 2 times ive done it ive died. first time the first rogue got off the gun and ran into a tower and not out the door. second time i got beamed by an mg i didnt know could hit me

[bold kernel]

should i run this kit even tho its 37 kg???

[neon whale]

get a mule stim and when you get more gear use it

[bold kernel]

kk thanks

this will be my official fattest raid ever been on

[bold kernel]

thats not bad

breaks even basically and if u cant buy that mdr yet u got profit

[prime comet]

yeah i cant get the mdr yet

also the rogues were TANKING headshots today

two wendys in one raid, i'll take it

@spiral flicker you ever seen that?

3 different ground rogues had helmets and tanked m80

[spiral flicker]

bruh

u wanna gamin?

[prime comet]

for sure

[spiral flicker]

max gang vc?

[prime comet]

yeahh boi

[misty ginkgo]

What’s your strength level?

A mule is gonna be a shit show, you’ll need to pop a propital aswell

[lusty hill]

Struggling to extract from customs again, idk why, after taking a week break i suuuuck

[cold fog]

god damnit

some ass hat on interchange shot me first as a pscav

so I lost a bunch of scav rep for having to shoot my way out

[spiral flicker]

[cold fog]

and then died anyway to another pscav who saw me shooting

[spiral flicker]

f

[steel oxide]

Solution: Stop scavving

[knotty nimbus]

can anyone help got a corrupted drive and had to wipe it but when i try to install tarkov again it says 'set path to existing game installation'

[weary trench]

LFG kill killa

[prime comet]

whew

[worthy ore]

Oh gorgeous

I want that rig so bad

[prime comet]

it's a cheap rig i think

commonly found on rogues

[jagged laurel]

Lmfao I forgot to reload my mdr ooops

Also did some YouTube or smthn make a video on the rpk

I’ve been seeing them constantly recently

[jagged laurel]

Not cheap tier 5

Pretty solid

[woeful spruce]

cant be bought on flea and components for the barter are quite expensive

[hazy veldt]

Not that expensive if you keep an eye on the flea.

Gp-5 goes down to 25k or less often.
Red mask goes down to 10k or less.

[knotty palm]

which headphones work best in the rain?

[karmic axle]

sordins are great in the rain imo

why is this key 250k

[tulip gate]

idk

[safe flax]

keep dying to hacker on labs 😭

met the same guy twice

[hazy veldt]

Big if true.

Video evidence?

[trim stone]

Server?

[spiral flicker]

give us informations rn

i mean we died today to guy with m80 giving only headshots but

it was only sus

[karmic axle]

dont play SG server at night

[safe flax]

hk and sg 😭

its the only servers i have stable ping on

we didnt bother to clip tho:(

he did the same thing twice

we went to black room the first raid

my friend went out cause we heard a guy

ran around the top and we peeked same time and both died to head eyes

same time

second time was in red card room outside canteen he just shot us from across the map

headeyes also

sad

[blazing brook]

1 tapped him with a bare shotgun

And then spent 10 minutes tryna find his bag and finally found it lol

And it was a couch bag

Still died to an extract camper tho

[hazy veldt]

[blazing brook]

mans brought all that kit to die to me with a bare shotgun lol

[safe flax]

gg another hacker this time on factory

cant catch a break

[safe flax]

damn i got a mk47 in factory before for legging a guy with the ks23

best rat cannon

[blazing brook]

i also got this from him

took me 10 mins to find lol

[violet crystal]

will a 19/19 airframe still protect from boolets?

[small robin]

going back in

[limber cliff]

from my experience it's an alright key

not really that good unless you get a tank battery

but there are some military tech spawns in it

[small robin]

back in my spot

[hidden violet]

if you were a bear you would be dead 100 times over by now

not for loot

[small robin]

thats why im a usec 😎

forgot that i was prone so when i shot another PMC i got shot down by the turrets lol

[sand herald]

there's a much better way to farm rogues bro

[hidden violet]

legit

push the wall on the left of that image, kill the front 2, snipe the gunner on warehouse 1 in the window, push up behind the warehouse, kill the 2nd gunner. take out the 4 squad and the 3 gunners on top of the building, take out the 2 on the other building

[small robin]

im not trying to farm rouges rn, im tryna get myself to get a better understanding of using snipers in the game, also just to have fun

[small robin]

thanks mate!

[sand herald]

ah fair, you should start with zeroing ur scope 😁

[hidden violet]

no fun to be had on lighthouse
it was designed to give you 0 fps and maximum pain

400m rouge beam

[small robin]

i have decent FPS, only on the main street entarance of the rouge camp do i have less than 50

[small robin]

yesyes :D i wasnt completely in my spot yet, did zero after i went to it

[sand herald]

ah nice

one more tip, if u hold ur left click, when you shoot, you wont immediately go to reload as long as you're holding the button

that's to check if you got the rogue or not

[small robin]

oh, yes, ive got that tip once when we were talking about snipers here before, thank you!

[sand herald]

ah that's good, then you should be good to go, have fun with sniping!

[small robin]

thanks mate!

gonna be a wild beast with guns after i unlock the flee lmao

[sand herald]

as long as ya got the money for sure

though if you wanna run thicc i'd recommend getting max traders, you'll be paying MUCH less

[small robin]

ive got some of this to sell after i get flee(except the found in raid flash drive)

[sand herald]

well there's an issue, you can only sell FIR items to the flea

[small robin]

Welp

thats really sad!

[sand herald]

and i wouldn't recommend selling SAS/diaries/SSDs to the flea anyway

you can sell them to PK for the same amount

that intel though, gonna get ya some money

[small robin]

welp

[sand herald]

that's like 350k right there

[small robin]

indeed, in dollars tho, so im gonna be living off mp5ks and m9a3s

[sand herald]

once u get higher level on PK you'll be buying tons of ammo and parts off of him, you'll use the money eventually

[lusty glacier]

is there any way to change one's thermal signature?

i.e. for recognising teammates

[sand herald]

nope
