[wide crater]

Well I went in with a pistol and just a backpack and killed a lvl 44 for the svd and tagliatelle rig and another 35 for the mosin

[earnest hull]

Are you being charged for the full game twice?

[left hound]

no i want to upgrade to eod and they are charging me a random 25 dollar fee according to the modmail and then in the checkout they are saying its another 15 payment fee

store cards are the worst

they have high fees

[earnest hull]

Walmart has online bank cards that you can just load money on to as well

[weak plume]

[fleet orbit]

Dont you have to be 18 to play this game?

[fleet orbit]

[lusty raptor]

[left hound]

[fleet orbit]

👍

Isn't the minimal age 14 to open a bank account?

[weak plume]

[fleet orbit]

Or is that just in the EU?

[weak plume]

[fleet orbit]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[deft swan]

Under a guardian yeah

[fringe gate]

what do i do against this

[zinc robin]

not hold a left hand

[fringe gate]

how can he shoot my eyes but i cant see him

[zinc robin]

cus hes hacking

like pretty obvious

[fringe gate]

love it 🙂

[deft lantern]

How badly does being overweight affect the noise you make? I can't seem to make a combat capable loadout without being over the limit

[zinc robin]

like ur louder the more u wieght

[deft lantern]

So it scales?

[zinc robin]

yea the more overwieght the louder ur footsteps are in a way but i mean u dont really gotta worry bout that until like 50k thats wehn u really loud

[potent crater]

what should I do when I Get shot at I used to be a chad but now after not playing for a wipe and being down bad on money I just like prone when I get shot at the slowly crawl around and die

[zinc robin]

run and swerve for cover and dont put urself in places with no coverf

[potent crater]

omg bro I have sent nearly 10k messages

[deft lantern]

How the fuck are you suppose to do anything in the first 20 minutes

Even fucking moving from cover to cover I get jumped

While sneaking

[outer roost]

i cant turn this in for gunsmith 3 does anyone know why?

[deft swan]

You sound like the hulk stomping around when you're heavy

Always try and drop your bag when getting into fights

[outer roost]

im having some problems with gunsmith 3 can anyone help?

[deft swan]

Are you going off the wiki?

[outer roost]

disc was bugged

yea

[earnest hull]

Hard to tell but looks like you might be missing the silencer

[outer roost]

this is the wiki loadout

[earnest hull]

unless that's some weird one i haven't seen before

[deft swan]

Double checked everything?

[outer roost]

yea i can screenshot in a sec

[deft swan]

Yeah do that

[outer roost]

its got the supressor on

[deft swan]

I'm on phone so looking at the wiki and back would be annoying

[earnest hull]

Oh!

you need an mp5. not an mp5sd

[outer roost]

what do i need to change for it?

[zinc robin]

@deft lantern know spawns and just play well

u will learn more and more the more u play

[deft lantern]

Fuck off

[earnest hull]

I think there's parts labeled SD that you would need to swap out. or just get a regular mp5 and move parts over. Not sure how the game decides when it's the regular or the SD

[zinc robin]

@deft lantern im tryna help u bro

[deft lantern]

"GIT GUD" does not help

[earnest hull]

It's honest advice. Learning other pmc spawns is a huge help and the only way to really get better it to just keep playing and learning from your mistakes

There is no "do this and instantly stop dying" advice. Tarkov is just a bunch of trial and error and getting dicked over by bush wookoies

[zinc robin]

@deft lantern not my fault ur shit im telling so u dont get headshot from somewhere u know where other people spawn so u know where to look out for people as well as where to push and where other people might be pushing

importent things to know and u get to know if u play the game

[deft swan]

"Just play well" is not helping

Fr tho learning where other dudes are from where you are can help quite a bit, just a few minutes looking at a spawn map can help alot

Helps you if you're looking to push them or just loop around where nobody (should) be

[deft lantern]

That^ is helpful even though pathing is hard. I need to just join some groups

[deft swan]

As for getting jumped it's worth it to just chill when running into choke points or near where fighting usually is

There's not much you can do about somebody sitting out in the middle of absolute fucking nowhere with no reason to be there.

People are rats, but if you have a weird vibe about an area just pop a pain pill. Carry an extra with you and some water or hydration, it's worth it if you get jumped by a rat and they can't black your legs and get an easy kill, mobility saves you in gunfights especially ones you didn't plan for. Same goes for crossing sight lines, just pop painkillers.

[ashen wave]

havent done it in a bit is scav case back to normal now?

[deft swan]

Yeah event is over

[ashen wave]

k sweet

[ashen wave]

is the moonshine one worth?

[sterile helm]

Looking for someone to show me the way on Lighthouse.

I havent played it yet and would like to learn it

[deft swan]

It can come back with some pretty good stuff usually, but always the chance you don't make a profit.

[deft swan]

#pvp-lfg for better luck finding some peeps, I haven't played much lighthouse myself.

[idle sphinx]

can someone help me unlock jaegar

[shut parrot]

With cheap gear

[deft swan]

Rogues are absolutely brutal

[shut parrot]

Raiders?

[deft swan]

Easier

[shut parrot]

Ok

Both good for exp?

[whole thistle]

rear sight

[deft swan]

Because of their spawn locations usually being near choke points you can use them not being quite as geared and having non perfect accuracy most of the time

[deft swan]

Yes

Rogues are difficult even for high gear, their castle like positioning makes it almost impossible to advance on them, and their accuracy is basically perfect, I find you just have to rely on the tarkov AI being goofy to kill them

[shut parrot]

ok

[feral marsh]

Yo can someone show me some good scav runs for loot and whatnot?

[scenic nova]

Anyone please help me I only have 12k

And I have legit nothing in my stash

Except used painkiller

[earnest hull]

Lighthouse stashes from Landing Zone Hideout to South road extract. Not very many people since they're usually in the rogue base and you can get some decent stuff from the stashes

[shut parrot]

what happens if i get my password wrong with one attempt remaining because i put keep me signed in but it always signs me out

[earnest hull]

just reset your password if you're worried

[shut parrot]

so will my account get perma locked?

[graceful marsh]

........

i sure do love Victor being on the fortress launchers hitting me through skeleton

[scenic nova]

Can anyone help me I only have 12k and I have nothing in my stash
I’m new please help anyone
I’m level 5 btw

[graceful marsh]

run scavs

[weary tinsel]

What's the best map for a scav to find PMC's to extract with? Any in particular?

[mint light]

i am a fan of reserve

[weary tinsel]

cool, thanks

[quiet stump]

does anyone have any labs card they dont need?

[bleak oak]

As a scav, avoid water treatment. As a pmc, kill the rogues before you go in

[bleak oak]

Btw here's the map in the right orientation to help know where you are with compass: https://external-preview.redd.it/Fh0XQgtGwaCsdZQQNStPhn2Egdztg_QIslAtTn5bNWY.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=5d92ccf1d742ac2a21a0d642e3a3c7c7ca993fa4

[whole thistle]

Compass

[surreal barn]

hey first run ever in the game?

any recommendations of ammo/gun/armor?

[whole thistle]

You could just run the starting kit minus the food and water

It's just a headset and m4 and shit armor

[sleek briar]

That armour is worth more being sold than used 😄

[whole thistle]

SKS or vpo 136 with ps are good pre flea poor guns

[surreal barn]

is it armor 2? or armor 1?

[whole thistle]

2, there are no level 1 body armors

[sleek briar]

The white armour was T1 from what I recall

[surreal barn]

ah ok! well then at least its something i guess i heard it MIGHT hold some pistol 9mm rounds at weird angles :,) i need all help i can have heheheheh

[whole thistle]

No

It's just the worst level 2

[whole thistle]

Angle only matters for helmets

[surreal barn]

i heard SKS can be made a breach loader
(and i fucking loved that) cursed guns are life. do i buy it directly from fence?

[whole thistle]

It'll take a shot or two of the default 9x19, and buckshot

[surreal barn]

Oh thats amazing to know!

[whole thistle]

Never get any guns from fence

[sleek briar]

Don't but from fence

[surreal barn]

oh buckshot! now we are talking!

[surreal barn]

where does one get it? pre flea?

[whole thistle]

Also the SKS is just a top loader unless you buy a detachable mag

[whole thistle]

Prapor

[surreal barn]

ahhhhh "roger that!

[sleek briar]

Jaeger and skier also have some semi decent things at low levels

Think skier sells vpo 209

[surreal barn]

is it cheaper than the SKS? (cause full auto sounds pretty damn welcome)

[hazy veldt]

it's not fullauto

[whole thistle]

Its a semi auto 366, more expensive than sks

[sleek briar]

Can use 30 round magazines though plus cheap picatiny rail

[hazy veldt]

and fullauto without a lot of mods, is usually actually bad, unless you're at 10m or less.

[surreal barn]

ah i see.. (still better than bold action though)

[hazy veldt]

sks isn't a bolt action?

[surreal barn]

wait.. i think i'm confusing SKS with another gun.. now

[whole thistle]

Don't talk shit about bolt actions smh
Mosin gang for life

[surreal barn]

OH ye the mosin!
i want to test that out

but i do think for a noob faster = acessible

[hazy veldt]

but yes, there are benefits to running vpo-136 over the sks, but I wouldn't run the vpo-209 unless you have access to APM via Flea or something.

[sleek briar]

Eko isn't that bad, especially against scavs

[hazy veldt]

though the popular recommendations are ump until you can get rfb, then either ump or rfb, depending on range.

for pre-15

[surreal barn]

oh god. anything but SMGs....
(unless tarkov is different) smgs usually makes me feel like i got a SUPER FAST.. pea shooter

[whole thistle]

It's good against even mid game players as long as you can aim

[whole thistle]

Smgs are cracked

[surreal barn]

i THINK.. i got a decent aim. "but the game alignment of sights concerns me"

[deft swan]

SMGs are very capable in tarkov

[sleek briar]

Yeah not sure a new player late wipe will have enough dollar income or knife to run ump

[whole thistle]

The sights align themselves as long as you're not snipping at 300 mph

[surreal barn]

knife?

[hazy veldt]

forget everything you know from other games.

[sleek briar]

Can buy ump for like...7? Knives

From peacekeeper

[deft swan]

Yeah

[surreal barn]

i took they are a bit more finnicky when you lean so i'm.. concerned "not in a bad way"

[hazy veldt]

shotguns are obscene in tarkov.
smgs are lower-recoil bullethoses on a budget.

ar's are only 'good' if modded to the max.

[whole thistle]

Nah it's the same while leaning

[hazy veldt]

and even then there's a very small pool of 'great' AR's.

Though a lot of okay options.

[sleek briar]

Aks-74u let's go

[surreal barn]

oh ye i saw some of the "snipes" with shotguns (i mean its realistic) but damn it scares me

[whole thistle]

I run a lot of poor m4s and AK74s and they're good enough

[mellow geyser]

hello i am new and am looking for someone to play with

[surreal barn]

i prefer a DMR. "USUALLY" maybe tarkov will show me another life

[whole thistle]

Those are really uncommon, you might hit 1/8 shots at sniping range lol

[whole thistle]

Dmrs are super good rn

Rfb is cheap asf and available at a lower level

[surreal barn]

oh lol!

[surreal barn]

OH i like the sound of that! hehehehehe (i can hear my scream dying and letting it go already!)

[sleek briar]

That 50 round FAL from mechanic for when you can't aim

[whole thistle]

You know it 😂

[surreal barn]

para fal is my personal favorite gun "only one ive ever fired irl"

[hazy veldt]

I mean... lets be real, they're not really 'good' if you try to full auto them outside point blank.

and for single fire taps you might as well run adar.

[whole thistle]

Also make sure you turn off noise in video settings as soon as you can open the game @surreal barn

[whole thistle]

True

[whole thistle]

Adar with a panic switch

[surreal barn]

my pc audio is default 1% cause games "EVERY GAME" loves to make people deaf

[sleek briar]

Yeah the modernized DS Arms FAL is nice. The older sa58 is bit hard to put sights on and is massive

[whole thistle]

No noise is a visual setting, it's literally just static over the game

[hazy veldt]

Don't get me wrong, a stock ak can kill people, but at medium range you have to tap tap tap

[surreal barn]

.-.

WHY!!!

[sleek briar]

Cinematic

[hazy veldt]

while you can just magdump a mutant

[whole thistle]

Color banding / cinematics

[surreal barn]

i hope theres no chromatic aberration "as a temporary effect its fine" but damn that irritates my life

[sleek briar]

There is an option for it

[whole thistle]

You can turn off all the cinematic stuff

I did, for visibility

[surreal barn]

ah what a relief! thanks god. in games like this.. cinematics usually translates to further pain

[whole thistle]

Yeah lol

I couldn't see my enemy past the beautiful godrays

[surreal barn]

i mean. at least you died in a pretty world

[whole thistle]

I kept most of that stuff on in squad just because it looks nice

I keep the cool visuals on in most games that aren't high stakes

[surreal barn]

hahahahahaaha i cant do that.. i go as potatoey as i can usually cause the games i love are too high stakes

if its a single player thn yes give me all the cinematic cheese you can

so about video settings

AA?

a yes or a no for this game

anti aliasing

[hazy veldt]

taa high

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Wzzoirlksk
+
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNA6lG931nE

[surreal barn]

Noiiiiceee!!! thanks

[whole thistle]

idk if theyre optimal but these are my settings

runs well and i can see good

Lower visibility can be better for kinda cheaty angles

[hazy veldt]

fxaa is kind of ass

and sharpness 1.1 👀

fan of the painkiller effect?

[whole thistle]

My postfx are hot asf

[whole thistle]

I boost sharpness in any game with the option lol

boom

Criticize me now

[hazy veldt]

not 100 colourfulness?

[whole thistle]

It's colorful enough lmao

[hazy veldt]

brightness 50 is also...

just use gamma

[whole thistle]

My monitor is max already

[hazy veldt]

or monitor/nvidia brightness

nvidia panel gamma tho?

[whole thistle]

No lo tengo

amd moment

[hazy veldt]

amd has a thing too?

[whole thistle]

Probably

I've already fucked all of my settings in every game enough I don't need extra washing out

[hazy veldt]

I don't like in-game brightness since it interacts with flashlights

and lights in general

[surreal barn]

only question that stays is

binaural audio or not?

thats the thing i'm uncertain

since audio is such a big deal

[hazy veldt]

on

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JNd2GASuPQ

[surreal barn]

i do have a 7.1 headset (that i set to 2.0 for all games) should i use the 7.1 in this one? or just as usually keep it 2.0

[hazy veldt]

2.0

[surreal barn]

what a relief! nice! i can keep the stuff i'm used to while i die! heheheheeh

thanks yet again for all the help before i find you guys in the raid. "and become swiss cheese!" :D

[whole thistle]

Did you remember to turn off everything on the bottom of video

[surreal barn]

sure did! checking out the nvida panel now

"mine usually likes to make games extra "sharpy" but i rather not have thigns that way"

am i forgetting something?
or am i ready to die "with my stylish hat"

[whole thistle]

Huge

[whole thistle]

I'd recommend 1 more extra mag and to leave the food and water

Idk

[surreal barn]

i'll take your advice!

(i got nothing to loose afterall! and all to learn :D)

[plain ibex]

how do i join a lfg for beginners?

[whole thistle]

You just join one of the voice chats

[whole thistle]

Alr, good luck lol

Remember not to go in the middle of the night

[plain ibex]

yea i left realized it was resvere instead of for new ppl

[surreal barn]

o7

oh damn true theres a day night thing! man you just saved my ass "again"

[whole thistle]

That gawd damn euro-pean time

[plain ibex]

@whole thistle so im super new to all this do i join a random group or start my own? sorry for all the questions as well

[surreal barn]

i'm from SA (SAW server mmost likely might get in US.. maybe)

[surreal barn]

are you from US? or SA?

id be willing to join up it will be my first game though

[whole thistle]

You can do either, doesn't matter

[tropic cedar]

Try throwing a esmarch in your pockets in case you get a heavy bleed

[plain ibex]

@surreal barn us east coast

[whole thistle]

Bold of you to think I know what that means

[surreal barn]

esmarch
used for bleeding! good tio know!

[surreal barn]

means which country you live! :D hehehhehe

but wow gave me a tip
lest join up then

[whole thistle]

Specifically heavy bleeds

[surreal barn]

LFG 15

[whole thistle]

I meant specifically the SA region lol, waiting on a pizzer rn do I can't play

[surreal barn]

oh i see!

[plain ibex]

@surreal barn ok

[tropic cedar]

the green bandage in your alpha is used for light bleeds, which just have a little blood drop as the indicator, heavy bleed is a little darker red but if you are having trouble distinguishing the 2 of them you can always go to your health tab and hover over the status indicators

[surreal barn]

oh ok i'll do one too! and i'l lbe waiting on 15

[surreal barn]

i read a bit about medical but i can see i'll feel pain

[whole thistle]

Oh sa means south america holy shit im braindead

it only puts you in servers you select in the launcher btw, by default it's just every server in your region

[jagged laurel]

South American 58

[ruby ermine]

where am i most likely to find flash drives

[open hedge]

safes

dorms 110 and 114 have safes

you can repeatedly go there till you get them

[ruby ermine]

therapist has a barter for 110 key right or is that something else

[open hedge]

you can flea them for very cheap

if you dont have flea i would hold off on chasing that quest till you can buy keys

off flea

[open hedge]

[bleak oak]

The AI is so broken.. i was heading to hermeteic on Reserve, as I approach the bunker 4 raiders run across the road, I run behind a truck for cover, prone under to shoot them and two taps in the head i’m dead... the only way to kill bosses and raiders etc is to slow right peak... it’s so dumb

They really need to make the AI more human, it ruins the game

[tall thicket]

The hat acts as a bullet repellent.

Donning an overwhelming amount of drip, Scavs would be terrified to shoot you. PMCs will simply just run away.

[tall thicket]

AI is slowly improved over time, thankfully we don't have drop-shot scavs anymore.

[rain wing]

scavs used to drop shot you?

[tall thicket]

There's several Beginner's Assistance voice chats here, and a few couple regulars here would be more than happy to help you out. You can also check out the Sherpa Hub if you'd like to go for a one-on-one approach. The game has a learning curve, and most players are very skilled or familiar with the game already.

https://discord.gg/D7wDspta

[tall thicket]

It was, to say, not the most enjoyable.

[dawn geyser]

It was great

The would shoot WHILE dropping

Then shoot while getting up

[rain wing]

Hi red kwon

[dawn geyser]

What's up teal Indonesian Max

[rain wing]

blue kwon where 😭

[dawn geyser]

I'm still blue! I have the role

[rain wing]

yeah but your name is red 😩

[dawn geyser]

Why must you be colorist.

[silent hamlet]

Why does flechette not work on scavs? I dont understand

[silver jewel]

LOL

[stone surge]

what do you mean?

[silent hamlet]

Just blasting scavs multiple times with flechette doesnt seem to kill them

[whole thistle]

its like igolnik, high pen low damage
and pen doesnt matter for scavs

[frigid glacier]

hey can someone help me im brokeand have no gear just tryna get some money im to new to find my way

[stone surge]

well, flechette itself doesn't really kill faster when someone doesnt wear armor

atleast, it doesn't kill as fast as buckshot can

[whole thistle]

same with any armor pen bullet

[silent hamlet]

I see...

[stone surge]

the beauty with flechette it that it does insane amounts of damage on any armor

so killing tier5/6 people with flechette is not a problem

but scavs dont typically have good armor, so you're better off with buckshot

or any other type

you can still kill with flechette though it shouldn't be much of a problem

[silent hamlet]

Like... how many hits do I have to land with flechette in order to kill someone?

[whole thistle]

2 if you aim good

1 if you aim amazing

[stone surge]

Depends on range a lot, because flechette is extremely close range ammo

it spreads quick

[silent hamlet]

I see... okay

[whole thistle]

also damage falloff really messes it up

its only like 25 damage to start with

[broken jungle]

Can someone help me with a found in raid shopping list

[silent hamlet]

Does that mean even a headshot isnt going to 1 tap someone??

[whole thistle]

if you only hit one projectile

remember is shoots 8

[silent hamlet]

Ah... got you..

up to 400 damage per shot then

Or 200 for those that like math

[whole thistle]

lmao

[stone surge]

Assuming you dont hit armor yes

because armor will either block some of that damage or you lose damage upon penetrating

[silent hamlet]

Just from my limited experience... it seems not great. At least compared to AP-20

[whole thistle]

most armors will break in like 1-2 shots

[whole thistle]

i meant yeah everything is not great compared to ap20

[silent hamlet]

I thought there was some debate about flechette vs AP 20. Maybe thats from previous wipes?

[stone surge]

they have different uses

one is more like a sniper-ish bullet

the other is a magdump CQB one

[whole thistle]

ap20 works at any range if you can aim

flechette is cqc crutch ammo

[stone surge]

flechette is a lot better in factory for example, you dont have to aim just hipfire

so that's a huge advantage over ap

[silent hamlet]

Im actually finding the opposite on factory... but thats probably because Im not using it right

[stone surge]

i mean both can kill perfectly fine.

[silent hamlet]

(also I am terrible at PVP in general)

[stone surge]

flechette in a saiga or mp-153 is busted in factory imho

and one of the reasons i kinda hate that map, almost everyone runs flechette in their shotguns

and it's kinda boring to play against

[silent hamlet]

Just got my ass handed to me by a scav running that. But again, doing it wrong

[stone surge]

but that's subjective.

flechette is very accessible and cheap so that's also a reason ppl run it

over ap-20

and just more forgiving because it's hard to miss with it even hipfire

[verbal spruce]

i just need to get to big red on customs

I keep finding endgame juicers or broke people

no inbetween

[silver jewel]

player scavs out for blood LOL

[zinc robin]

[left hound]

when i turn and move my head in raid it just feels SUPPERRRR wrong i move right and it like moves 1/3 of what it should and then it like stutters mid turn idk how to explain it

[stone surge]

@elfin violetIt can also be worth hitting up the sherpa discord to get help from the community or from a sherpa that can teach you the ropes.

[tall thicket]

Sheeeesh, you have poor hopes if you think someone would surely not snag that beautiful hat.

[surreal barn]

[bold kernel]

(NA) just relaxing looking for a duo if you need help with any quests lmk i probably have the keys

[lapis vine]

@brittle path just rip up factory night

[silent hamlet]

Ive been getting massively more server disconnections this latest patch. Anyone else seeing that?

[lapis vine]

@brittle path you can easily get 10-15 scav kills and you'll most likely be alone

just check the scavs for pistols

[mint light]

do woods for scav kills ez

[surreal barn]

if i wait will my character get "better"
aka more fed less thirsty and more healthy?

[mint light]

what

overtime ur character will regain lost health thirst and hunger

[surreal barn]

ah ok ye that! thanks!

[bold kernel]

@surreal barn when a raid ends you have free heals till lvl 5 or 10

[surreal barn]

oh. well i'll run a scav after that i'll get back to heal i guess "scav is always welcome still"

[mint light]

and upgrading ur water collector and nutrition center makes it regain faster

[bold kernel]

only pmc sadly for the heal,

(NA) just relaxing looking for a duo if you need help with any quests lmk i probably have the keys

[mint light]

i dont remember if its the medstation that gives the health back or if its vitality

[surreal barn]

should i even worry about hideout rn? before any tasks?

[sick flint]

Brand new to the game (installing now) and looking to get some assistance with the game. I am EU tho

[mint light]

i dont worry about hideout until lvl 15

until flea its hard to get the shit u need

[bold kernel]

when raid ends itll show your character messed up then itll say heal at the bottom left just dont spam past everythign when raid ends

[surreal barn]

after that is past though before i enter another raid? what can i do?

[earnest hull]

Only get free heals up to a certain level though

[surreal barn]

i'm level 2

[earnest hull]

Go to the therapist and click on the Services tab

[surreal barn]

ah thanks!

[bold kernel]

[fervent turret]

which features ya want

[dawn geyser]

If you're in it for the IR, peq will do fine, if you want a flashlight laser, X400 all the way

[bold kernel]

(NA) just relaxing looking for a duo if you need help with any quests lmk i probably have the keys

[rain wing]

do the lasers and the ir both give the same hipfire accuracy bonus?

except laser has an actual laser

[stone surge]

yes

[dawn geyser]

Yes

As long as the device has "Laser" as one of the cycles

It will count

[rain wing]

aight

[dawn geyser]

Even on the flashlight setting

[rain wing]

and it needs to be on?

[dawn geyser]

Correct

[rain wing]

thanks, red kwon

[stone surge]

This is why with some experience-IR is generally prefered over the visible laser

[teal trail]

With all my hours I should know but why do we use ir aside from hip fire accuracy over a laser

[sick flint]

Yh man, my game has finished installing

[rain wing]

laser is visible

ir is harder to see

[hallow thistle]

For the quest the tarkov shooter part 3, what bolt action will work best for it? sorry to intrude

[dawn geyser]

People don't like to give away their position

[rain wing]

^

[dawn geyser]

What they're looking at

When I see a laser flag my face

[mint light]

kwon max gang is still going hard

[dawn geyser]

I duck for cover

[rain wing]

I've killed a few people cause they've had lasers on them

[dawn geyser]

I can see it.

[rain wing]

[dawn geyser]

Haha cool

[rain wing]

it was a joke

his discord name was max

and my spotify name is max

which is also my real name

which is also his real name

[sick flint]

New to game, (Just installed) wondering if anyone could help me out?

[spiral bison]

wtf indonesian max

[brittle path]

what to do if u cant shoot or switch guns?

[spiral bison]

max is like the only western name indonesian people wouldnt get wrong

[fervent turret]

extract n restart

[stone surge]

Also check out the sherpa discord in #sherpa-info and consider requesting a sherpa. They're players that can help you learn the fundamentals of the game

[sick flint]

Ty man, will do so

[visual vigil]

which is best

[dry belfry]

None

They all trash

[paper burrow]

m855

[visual vigil]

💀 ⁉️

[paper burrow]

they're all bad but m855 is the best

[visual vigil]

alright

[dry belfry]

Asian Max best max

He really cranks the hog

[dawn geyser]

Oh god not this again

[twin cairn]

Guys m995 or m856a1?

[dry belfry]

995

[twin cairn]

Ok thanks

[earnest hull]

855a1 is best

[dry belfry]

...

[twin cairn]

Yea but I don’t have it

Unlocked

[dry belfry]

855a1 is not best

[twin cairn]

It’s cause of 43 flesh damage vs 40 for m995

[dawn geyser]

55A1 is best personally

[earnest hull]

955 is nice pen but the damage is terrible

[dawn geyser]

At range, M995 has a chance to one shot

[dry belfry]

I mean if you're shooting enemies with no armor I guess...

[dawn geyser]

If you're CQB, both are equal imho

[twin cairn]

Yea but it’s sad I can’t buy it

[dawn geyser]

M995 has a chance to not headshot

[twin cairn]

Ik

[dry belfry]

Operator error

[twin cairn]

But like it’s only against a ulach

[dry belfry]

100% of my rounds fired with 995 are headshots

[dawn geyser]

Oh i'm so sorry you're asking about 56A1

[twin cairn]

Yea

[dawn geyser]

995 is better ofc

[twin cairn]

Ok thanks

[dry belfry]

I always want to play Tarkov

But it requires so much mental effort

I just want a chill tarkov

[stone surge]

Scavving is about as chill as it gets

[dry belfry]

That's true

[stone surge]

but it's still an intense game, i wouldn't call tarkov a 'chill' game in general

[lyric patio]

Tarkov is chill if you just chill when playing it.

Seems pretty stupid to say but the chill is a purely mental thing.

[fierce falcon]

I have the trailer park portable cabin key and the Vaz car key should I sell them?

[dry belfry]

Have you done the Gold Zibbo quest?

[fierce falcon]

No

[dry belfry]

Well, it's handy for that quest

But I'm guessing since you're asking, you're probably new and don't have a ton of money

And I think that you get the key again when you accept the quest

So you should be good to sell it

[fierce falcon]

Both of em?

[dry belfry]

Yeah, I mean neither are particularly valuable and I'm 99% sure you get the cabin key again from Skier

So yea

[fierce falcon]

alright thanks

[dry belfry]

Np

[visual vigil]

what i do with these

[brittle canyon]

tag the dog

[sick flint]

Anyone wanna somewhat teach me the game? Just finished installing the game

1-2ppl I'd be looking to join

[surreal wadi]

uuuh

does run through status removes the "found in raid" from items?

[brittle canyon]

yes

[surreal wadi]

jesus christ

[brittle canyon]

baited by a free extract

[surreal wadi]

I'm poor so

that would help me

[brittle canyon]

I mean u can use the stim

[modest kayak]

looking for help with tasks lvl 14 hit me up plz

[brittle canyon]

and vases sell just as well to traders as to flea after taxes

[shell kindle]

If you get eod can you still upgrade stash levels with hideout

[static talon]

bruh how the fuck do i do quests

[brittle canyon]

eod gives u 1 level below max stash iirc?

or is it max idk you start with the levels

[visual vigil]

damn...

[zinc robin]

i finished test drive first try

[visual vigil]

what armor can i wear with MMAC

[zinc robin]

mmac is armor

its a tactical rig

[mint light]

the mmac

u cant war armor with an armored rig

[neon whale]

this good for a scav run?

[zinc robin]

yea

[bold kernel]

what the fuck..

jesus christ

u killed a pmc lol

?

[visual vigil]

scav run 🤝

[earnest hull]

love rockin the slender mask with friends. quick identifier of friend or foe lol

[visual vigil]

u cant use a helmet with this right

i mean headset

[deft swan]

Any scav run you get out alive in is good

[heady sundial]

no but you can use a really good faceshield

[deft swan]

Correct

[visual vigil]

damn

[deft swan]

Yeah faceshield on the Maska is the best in the game(?) dont quote me on that

Its level 6 iirc

But you see basically nothing

[mighty ledge]

wtf, what causes prapor and therapist to drop rep?

zz

[earnest hull]

Honestly just don't get why pscav v. pscav are so rampant lately. Just came across a guy on lighthouse road, I said hello and he started shooting. Managed to kill him but really don't get it. Especially since i had just spawned in and was nowhere near rogue base for that loot

[earnest hull]

Certain quests drop rep for others but easy to get back. Replacing quests also drops rep

[brittle canyon]

you didn't praporly attend your therapy

[mighty ledge]

oh my

[mighty ledge]

[earnest hull]

It'll tell you when you're turning in a quest if it'll negatively affect another trader

[mighty ledge]

clearly.. i didn't see that

zz

nvm, good to know now

[mighty ledge]

does it tell you like in the description of the task?

[neon whale]

i didnt kill a single thing that raid lol

[bold kernel]

goddamn

[earnest hull]

It'll be in the reward section during turn in

[mighty ledge]

is it only AFTER you get the required things done?

[sand badge]

How do i know what scope a gun uses?

[bold kernel]

just bought prepare for escape

!

[mighty ledge]

ah

so you basically do the quest and get negative shit thrown at you

vERY Nasie

[earnest hull]

You can right click a gun and select "Edit Preset" to see all the different attachments a gun can take and purchase them from that screen if you wish

[brittle canyon]

all attachments you examined

if you have flea go through guns and gunmods and examine everything

[mighty ledge]

use linked search to help you examine parts you want to look at

[earnest hull]

How's 993 ammo for 7.62x51

[brittle canyon]

worse than m61

[spiral flicker]

true

over kill pen to penetrate lvl 7 and less damage

my scav spawn

stash next to my extract

ez

thats how u play the game

[nocturne lintel]

uh why did tagilla kill me as a scav?

[brittle canyon]

why not

[earnest hull]

tagilla don't care man lol

[nocturne lintel]

uh idk maybe scav, scav boss, scav boss doesnt shoot scavs

[brittle canyon]

they totally do

[nocturne lintel]

thats fucking stupid

[brittle canyon]

how

[earnest hull]

Unless you have max fence rep just assume he's gonna kill you

[nocturne lintel]

so i cant kill him or i lose karma, but he just gets to fuck me up?

[brittle canyon]

some random ass hobo comes up to you and your armed goons and fucks around

course you gonna shoot his ass

[rain wing]

[earnest hull]

GPU is always a win

[rain wing]

worth?

[earnest hull]

Just went on a scav run, no bag, IDEA rig only, managed to get out with 2 mp9's, FN5-7, and a p90. not too shabby for a no bag run

[brittle canyon]

I mean do you need any of the rewards

[rain wing]

man wtf did i make

[rain wing]

not really actually

[brittle canyon]

then don't lmao

[viscid kraken]

man do I love the armored train extract

[rain wing]

should I just go zhukov?

[brittle canyon]

22 ergo lul just use moe with butt

actually isn't pt3 better

[violet crystal]

moe is best

[viscid kraken]

what't the best way to max strength? my pmc is made of noodles

[haughty belfry]

ledx from 95k scav case

[earnest hull]

Start your raid overweight "your weight will be yellow in the lower left". once you load in start sprinting and don't stop til you run out of stam. you'll get an xp boost to your strength

[orchid salmon]

Be overweight, run overweight at beginning of raid when you still get "bonus" skill gain.

[earnest hull]

Also, throw grenades

[spiral flicker]

No

No

Pls

No

Why

Are u using

[fringe hull]

you all getting dope scav returns

[spiral flicker]

That stock when zhuk exists

[fringe hull]

here i am getting those shitty plug attachment things

[earnest hull]

Man my 95k Scavs just came back with a PB side grip, a cheap muzzle break, and a morphine....

[spiral flicker]

Man

My moonshinE scav case

[olive bough]

My memory is just shite so I don’t remember

[spiral flicker]

Now I like u more then blue alespic

Red gud

[olive bough]

I shall sacrifice rule breakers to LK

[spiral flicker]

I should leave to Max hideout MonkaS

[median niche]

what are some high populated areas on shoreline? I can't find any loot

[spiral flicker]

Resort

And pier maybe

Idk I don't play shoreline much

[median niche]

I started trying it out for punisher

but only thing I do is walk around for 20minutes and run out of food

[spiral flicker]

Yea just go resort

[fallen island]

The radio station has a safe, pc and like 16 filing cabinets

[spiral flicker]

It's huge map with only 1 place to fight and loot

[fallen island]

And some crates outside

[fallen island]

Pier and resort both have combat

[spiral flicker]

Yea

[fallen island]

I mean resort is just getting sniped as you leave

[limber cliff]

why are there landmines inside the rogue camp 😭

[fallen island]

But still

[spiral flicker]

[frosty quarry]

Tan SR25

[orchid salmon]

Some of the best loot in game there, would be no fun if you could just run up there without any risk ain't it ?

[limber cliff]

no like literally inside

like within the walls

outside is mines inside is rogues

[orchid salmon]

I know.

[limber cliff]

not inside is rogues and landmines thats too hard!!!!

[orchid salmon]

It's meant to be hard and end-game content.

[limber cliff]

but why would rogues put landmines in their own camp

like literally inside the camp

[olive bough]

There’s no mines inside the camp itself, only to one of the sides. Just make sure you are not getting up from there

Also, for defense I would guess

[limber cliff]

there are mines inside the camp

i just stepped on them and died

[visual vigil]

where are rogues?\

[olive bough]

#eft-chat pins

[viscid kraken]

how do I increase peacekeeper loyalty if I don't have any quests for him?

[olive bough]

You probably need to do other quests first

[frosty quarry]

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[spiral flicker]

You need to do friends from the west part 2 from skier

[viscid kraken]

oh... I can't even finish part 1 because I suck

[olive bough]

Time to go factory

[viscid kraken]

funny thing is, I somehow finished gunsmith part 6 because im a loot goblin

[spiral flicker]

Go factory and kill ppl

[viscid kraken]

any recommended weapon to do the deed?

[olive bough]

Shotgun with flechette is all you need really

[visual vigil]

what do i put on it

[viscid kraken]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6g219pS9Ds

[spiral flicker]

Shotguns with flechette op

Or u can try any buckshot

[lusty rampart]

alright im dead broke im getting shit on the entire week my stash is completely empty... lol somebody wanna run with me a few times so I can get some gear

[viscid kraken]

is there any difference between the 3 eotech holo sights?

[brittle canyon]

just scav

[feral radish]

eh not rlly

[brittle canyon]

ergo, dot, nvg

[spiral flicker]

Scavs exists

[lusty rampart]

I know and I keep getting murdered on scavs too

[spiral flicker]

Nah

How

[marsh harbor]

what's the best DMR along the lines of SR?

M1?

[feral radish]

they all work

[spiral flicker]

Pretty much

[feral radish]

rsass >

[spiral flicker]

True

Rsass hot

And gud

[marsh harbor]

ofc they work, the bullets are good

I was asking about the guns

[feral radish]

what about them

what are u using it for

what traders do u have

[marsh harbor]

which ones are the best?

I have flea and LL2s

[spiral flicker]

They are almost the same, but m1a with drum is devastating

[feral radish]

like theres a lot of factors and also there isnt really a "best" anything

[marsh harbor]

I mean acc/rec/ergo best

[feral radish]

m1a has capacity but it shits on ergo mdr is a middle ground rsass is sexy fal has no ergo frb is cheap

[spiral flicker]

Rec is almost same

[feral radish]

they're all accurate

if ur broke buy rfb

if u got cash buy mdr

[marsh harbor]

RFB is like a non-budget SKS

[spiral flicker]

Who need ergo when u play it like smg hipfire

[marsh harbor]

I do have cash

and since is wipe is soon

most likely

[feral radish]

rsass or mdr

[marsh harbor]

just wanna test shit out

[feral radish]

rsass slaps

mdr slaps and has full auto

if u cant buy mag from traders have fun tho

pmags are like 100k on flea i think

[marsh harbor]

got a cheap razor off of flea as well

so wanna use it on a good gun

what's M1 budget wise?

[feral radish]

good guns are a myth

[spiral flicker]

RSASS > SA-58 > MDR > m1a > sr-25 imo

[marsh harbor]

as expensive as SR can get?

[feral radish]

sr25 needa be higher up

[marsh harbor]

ik SR can get really expensive

[feral radish]

bc its so sexy

[spiral flicker]

I don't like it

Yes

Its sexy

[feral radish]

every gun can get really expensive

[marsh harbor]

so RSASS is pretty much TOTL

[spiral flicker]

But I don't like the gun

[feral radish]

but like ive dogged on kids using a stock rfb w a 10k sight

[marsh harbor]

I mean ofc it can if you pay up for those sexy yellow skel grips

[spiral flicker]

I think with low lvl traders u can get rsass to like 500k

[marsh harbor]

but I meant moreso for the good stuff

[feral radish]

build guns that look cool not meta guns

[spiral flicker]

[feral radish]

idk why ppl stress meta builds so hard

to then run m80

or like wear lvl 4

[feral radish]

w a 800k meta m1a

[marsh harbor]

I just wanna try shit out

so I know

[feral radish]

thats shitty mdr

[marsh harbor]

for the next wipe

[spiral flicker]

It looks cool

[marsh harbor]

pretty much went thru all AKs

know what I like

[lusty glacier]

I saw a guy with a silenced vepr hunter, a flir and m61s, true chad

[marsh harbor]

now need to test DMRs

[feral radish]

ive been running mosin vpo they're so satisfying

go do 10 rfb runs

then spend half ur networth on a meta rsass

and lmk what u think

[spiral flicker]

Me playin 5.45 gun which can cost around 1 mil (with low lvl traders)

[feral radish]

or meta m1a

[marsh harbor]

wouldnt be worth half, I actually have a decent amount of money

[feral radish]

i have a rlly good 545 budget build if u want it max

how much money u got ghost

[marsh harbor]

got 12M+

[feral radish]

max whats meta m1a cost

im assuming 800 with traders

cant imagine what flea is

plus mags

[lusty rampart]

@spiral flickerim literally having shitty luck im getting wrecked by player scavs cause they wanna take my shit lmfao

[marsh harbor]

my PoV, TOTL meta builds top out at around 500K

if you dont go BSing around

and getting cool grips

[feral radish]

well ur saying meta

also what meta do u want

[spiral flicker]

I played this 5.45, I am not home so I can't really ss the gun itself, it's like 42 recoil or something

[feral radish]

ergo or recoil meta

[spiral flicker]

Maybe even 39

[marsh harbor]

I got shit on by scavs on woods doing that jager quest hauu

the other day

so unlucky

[spiral flicker]

The iron sight quest?

[marsh harbor]

nono

no heal

[spiral flicker]

[feral radish]

i killed a lvl 10 on factory the other day running meta sa58, flir, and m61

[marsh harbor]

I was at the top of t he lake rock

and scav one taps my right leg

and breaks it

[upbeat phoenix]

Im running akms right now, pretty meh modded cause its what i can afford

[spiral flicker]

F

[spiral flicker]

[feral radish]

mosin / vpo

best budget gun

always comes back w insurance

[lusty glacier]

Can confirm I'm not taking stanky mosins

[upbeat phoenix]

Like this

[spiral flicker]
