or just buy when you need.

switchblade is larger visually.

granted, this is an example of hoarder mentality.

I think I have like 10-15? trizips...

[open hedge]

My bag collection is running thin

Only like 4 bags in my entire stash

[hazy veldt]

used to also have over 50 berkut/daypack/scav, but I vendored most during the event

[earnest hull]

Ya I made a lot of money selling off spare bags on the flea during the event. It was nutty

[hazy veldt]

🙈 I have like 8 mechanisms with full kits ready to go

[open hedge]

The only bags in my stash are 2 pilgrim 1 beta 2 and a raid bag

All my tag rigs are load bearing chest rigs

[hazy veldt]

why lbcrs? 🤔

[open hedge]

So I literally need to buy everything as soon as I want a new kit

[open hedge]

I find them a lot and never use them since I don’t run drums often

[hazy veldt]

hmm, well buying stuff when you need it is usually more costly.

[open hedge]

I have like 15 lbcrs

[hazy veldt]

because you're at the mercy of the market, vs stockpiling when the stuff is cheap...

[split dagger]

How much stash space do yall have to be able to hoard that much

[open hedge]

Next to none

[split dagger]

My stash is always full and shit is organized as much as possible

[open hedge]

I usually have less than 20 open spots in my stash

[hazy veldt]

so much now, before event I was a bit more strapped for space.

[split dagger]

I have 5 weapon boxes full

And still no space

And 2 thiccs with good gear

[hazy veldt]

mmm, I mean I have 5 thicc weapon and 12 weapon cases mostly full 😄

6 thicc items too.

[open hedge]

How do y’all get thiccs

[split dagger]

I cant afford that much im poor

[open hedge]

I only have my fir one

[split dagger]

Just buy them for 10m

From therapist

[open hedge]

[split dagger]

I mean barter but same thing

[earnest hull]

I like having lcbr cuz they can hold 2 helmets. Great space saving rig lol

[open hedge]

I can’t afford that

Happily at least

[hazy veldt]

barter

thicc weapons are only ~2.5m'ish

with barters.

[split dagger]

Fr?

Which one

[hazy veldt]

well, a bit more now, maybe 2.7-2.8

jaeger

[split dagger]

Whats the barter

2 wep cases and stuff?

[split dagger]

That shit is expensive dude

Aint no way thats 3m

[hazy veldt]

ofc it is

weapon case is ~750-900k

[split dagger]

Emotors are like 60k rn

[kindred grotto]

the weapon case barter is under milli

[open hedge]

I collect Emotors like infinity stones

[hazy veldt]

nah, emotors go down to 40k, was 50k earlier

[open hedge]

I have like 6 right now

[kindred grotto]

give me

[split dagger]

Im tripping then

[hazy veldt]

sell when 55k+, rebuy at 40k

[open hedge]

I save all components to the weapon case barter

[hazy veldt]

don't save.

[earnest hull]

Just run lighthouse along the beach of broken crates. I usually see motors there

[hazy veldt]

sell when they're high, rebuy when low

[kindred grotto]

[hazy veldt]

like I use a lot of bolts for crafts

and bolts price varies between sub 20k and upto 40k+

[open hedge]

I will not go lighthouse for anything

[kindred grotto]

ligthhouse? more like shithouse am i right

[hazy veldt]

not right

amazing map for loot goblins

[earnest hull]

Unfortunate. That’s where I got most of my money.

[kindred grotto]

amazing map at working at like 3 frames per second

[hazy veldt]

I get 80'ish usually

[earnest hull]

Sitting at my first 30mil currently

[open hedge]

Well as of the last week my game has been barely running for some reason

[hazy veldt]

buy a thicc items case

[open hedge]

Went from 80 fps to 40-80 with constant freezing

In a week

[earnest hull]

Got one last week

Might buy a 2nd soon

[hazy veldt]

get another~ 👀

I have 6 and I'm thinking of another since what else do I spend on.

[open hedge]

Why do you need that much room

[hazy veldt]

bios might've reset and ate your xmp profile

[hazy veldt]

hoarder liffe

[earnest hull]

For all the loot of course

[open hedge]

How do I fix that?? (I’m not very smart)

[earnest hull]

Never know what dumb turn in quest traders are gonna give ya

[hazy veldt]

I think I have like... 20-24+ tactecs

well for turn ins it's mostly junk cases, so having a few of those if you still care about levelling is good.

[earnest hull]

I’ve been slowly phasing out my mmac’s for all the class 5 and 6 armors I’ve been finding on my scav runs

[hazy veldt]

I vendored so many strandhoggs during the vent, to make room.

but still have too many tv-110s too...

[earnest hull]

Be nice to get all my armors in a case instead of spread out through all the various bags and regular item cases I have

[hazy veldt]

yes. I should kondo my cases, but it's difficult.

"what if I need this trash at some point..."

[earnest hull]

I feel that. Also phased out my helmets since I keep finding exfils and bastions

[hazy veldt]

I sell all fir bastions.

[open hedge]

Exfil and airframe are my big spending helmets but lshz is my budget helmet as it can take a face shield

[hazy veldt]

but I feel you.

so many exfils...

[earnest hull]

Haven’t found an airframe yet

Keep find altyns though which I should take on a factory run or 2

[hazy veldt]

same...

[open hedge]

Altyns are ass now that 762 BP is the current meta

[chrome nova]

actually any helmet is worthless against BP

sometimes slaap on my forehead saves me from top ammo, but never the faceshield

[open hedge]

I always run face shields just because of buckshot rats or scavs

Nothing will stop a decently geared pmc

[chrome nova]

yeah, scavs only

[open hedge]

Also funny low tier helmets stop vectors with Luger and rip with no issues

I love killing “chads” using leg meta vectors with my SA58

[limber cliff]

i love 7mm to the face from a scav

[open hedge]

Hence why I wear face armor

Almost every raid

[limber cliff]

i dont wear face covering because i am so hungry for 7mm

[grand flicker]

Wrong

[earnest hull]

I haven’t work face shields yet. Plenty of altyns and storm trooper masks tho so might as well start using em

[open hedge]

I’ve never had an altyn save me from anything but scavs

Not this wipe

[grand flicker]

762 bp often ricochets off of them, j usually take 4-5 bp to the head

[open hedge]

Last time I wore an altyn I got one tapped by ss190

Full durability altyn 1 tapped by a 57

Good helmet

Very much worth having no hearing

[grand flicker]

Last time I wore it on labs I took 5 bp to the head from a cheater

[open hedge]

Last time I went labs I got 2 tapped to thorax in class 5 armor through a wall by a ttv

[kindred grotto]

Last time I wore a RYS-t i tanked a shot of bp straight to my eyes and next raid got one tapped throught it by ash 12

[grand flicker]

Skill issue

[open hedge]

Ash 12 1 taps all helmets

[grand flicker]

It doesn’t

[open hedge]

It does

Blunt damage will kill you

[grand flicker]

It doesn’t one tap the vulkan

It doesn’t one tap the vulkan

[open hedge]

Vulkan is also the worst helmet in the game and if you wear it you’re a moron

[grand flicker]

How is it bad?

[open hedge]

No hearing and terrible protection from the front

[grand flicker]

I wear it to factory and it saves me from bullshit rounds

[grand flicker]

The front is t4

[prime comet]

is there any reserve gamers

here

[open hedge]

T4 ain’t stopping anything anyway and the class 6 backside is pretty useless

[kindred grotto]

we were talking bout faceshields either way

[open hedge]

Vulkan is very expensive for a shittier altyn

[kindred grotto]

I havent seen a single vulkan user this wipe

[grand flicker]

Most people on factory are running shitter kits, t4 really does a lot

Usually you get hit in the side of your head

WHICH WOULD BE T6

[open hedge]

Flechette will annihilate a Vulkan

Most factory rats run flechette

[icy fable]

with enough flechette you can pretty much delete anything

[grand flicker]

Dying to flechette is literally a skill issue

I’ve died to it maybe 2 times

[open hedge]

Flechette will 1 tap a Vulkan

[grand flicker]

No it won’t

[open hedge]

Face armor on vukan is total ass

[grand flicker]

Because I was wearing t4 yesterday and it tanked it

[open hedge]

Bruh it has 8 pellets and like 37 pen

If 2 of those hit you’re fucked

[grand flicker]

Whatever you say

[open hedge]

Vulkan is too expensive for a Shit helmet

[grand flicker]

Dude is too broke to afford a vulkan so he shits on it

250k isn’t expensive

[kindred grotto]

250k for a shit helmet is expensive

[open hedge]

Why would I pay like 300k for a Vulkan and not just get an altyn?

[grand flicker]

Because altyns aren’t great

[open hedge]

Hell 9x19 AP can pen a Vulkan face shield

[nova sentinel]

is this worth it

[open hedge]

It’s not good

[grand flicker]

I can’t see shit and it’s t5

[grand flicker]

ITS CAN ALSO PEN AN ALTYN

[open hedge]

Altyn barely reduces visibility

[open hedge]

Not in first shot

[somber dragon]

if you want to

[limber cliff]

ye money wise

[grand flicker]

Yes it can

[nova sentinel]

nerds arguing about faceshields just use maska

[grand flicker]

Because I’ve died to it

[somber dragon]

what are you gonna go w a hold pistol anyway

[grand flicker]

Agreed

[open hedge]

Sounds like a skill issue to me

[icy fable]

barter item for an armor

[grand flicker]

“ThE HELmET is T4”

[somber dragon]

thats not worth though

[open hedge]

Maska is the only heavy helmet i will wear

[icy fable]

a competence related subject?

[open hedge]

Maska at least is fun and cheap

Most heavy helmets are insanely overpriced and not very good

At least maska is cheap barter

[grand flicker]

Fun when the only thing it protects is my eyes

[open hedge]

Ok and? It’s cheaper than the other shitty helmets

Heavy helmets are a scam

[grand flicker]

Idc I’d rather have 80% of my head be t6 then 80% be t4

[open hedge]

Well I don’t want to die just because I looked at my enemy

[earnest hull]

I just run what I find in raid so…price isn’t even a factor

[grand flicker]

You know you get shot in the side of the head when you’re looking at them right?

[open hedge]

Rarely

90% of bullets hit face

[grand flicker]

Nope

[grand flicker]

Not true

[open hedge]

I don’t remember the last time I was killed to head anywhere but eyes and jaw

[grand flicker]

You don’t play enough then

[open hedge]

I have 1000 raids this wipe

[earnest hull]

Or….ya could just agree to disagree instead of whatever “you’re wrong” contest this is

[grand flicker]

Nah this dude is stupid

[icy fable]

it's the only way he argues, using absolutes in subjective matters

it's a thing you just have to accept

[limber cliff]

this is objectively wrong

[grand flicker]

?

[earnest hull]

Well even if that were the case you’re not making much of a case for yourself arguing with him

[open hedge]

I barely ever die to anywhere but my face

[grand flicker]

I’m just saying it’s better to have 80% of your head t6 than t4

[icy fable]

offering insights about your "discussion partner"

[grand flicker]

Am I wrong?

[earnest hull]

Just let people play their preferred way and leave it at that. Don’t see why people have such a hard time grasping that concept

[limber cliff]

ok, so you would say "I die to my face 90% of my raids" not "90% of bullets hit face"

[open hedge]

I don’t speak for other people

[grand flicker]

Ok ok I’m done

[icy fable]

and supporting your method of "agree to dissagree" and leave it at that, else you'll still be debating the same topic in half an hour

[limber cliff]

ok well you do when you say things that don't pertain specifically to you

[icy fable]

[limber cliff]

because if you're not entailing it's you in specific, you're entailing a general topic

[open hedge]

I’m stating an opinion that I think his helmet choice is stupid

[limber cliff]

word it better then lol

[open hedge]

I never said objectively did i?

[limber cliff]

this means what it means

[icy fable]

yeah, but you word it as if it was an incontestable and undeniable truth and argue anyone who offers a different opinion

[limber cliff]

you can't argue the meaning of what you said because that's what you said

[somber dragon]

you are being purposely obtuse

[icy fable]

this

[open hedge]

I speak on my own experience that is all I speak for nobody else

[limber cliff]

"90% of bullets hit face" isn't a "personal opinion" you're stating it like a general fact

ok well no one is supposed to read your mind

sorry if you're just learning that here?

[grizzled jolt]

[icy fable]

[open hedge]

Then read it anyway

Simply a skill issue

[limber cliff]

that not how that work nimrod

[open hedge]

Plus a love to see a good argument

I state things as hard as I do because I find it fun

[grizzled jolt]

if ya wanna debate do it on destiny discord or something this is #beginners-assistance

[limber cliff]

so you're purposely vague when giving advice in a beginner assistance channel

kinda weird

[open hedge]

He’s not new

He doesn’t need help

[surreal barn]

so i was inspecting the guns and suggestions at my disposal and a lot of people recomend the
VPO and the SKS

but i noticed the mosin sits right between them in price ((and the ammo SOUNDS pretty good))
but if its not recommended i think theres a reason

[grand flicker]

That’s not the point

[limber cliff]

it's still the channel, other people could read it and see a level 44 talking about "facts" that aren't facts

[grand flicker]

People will read it later

[somber dragon]

its a bolt action

[grand flicker]

NEW people

[limber cliff]

sounds like you only think about yourself which is kinda obnoxious

[somber dragon]

personally i love it with snb

[grizzled jolt]

the mosin is not a semi-auto gun but a bolt action, so you need to make your shots count more

[open hedge]

I never claimed to not be annoying

[limber cliff]

i beat my own record for worst intel case

[icy fable]

we have a winner

[grizzled jolt]

the sks is cheaper, the ammo is cheaper, and you can spam shots a little bit

[limber cliff]

@open hedge well i claimed you are

[icy fable]

2nd'ed

[open hedge]

That’s a valid point

[prime comet]

keep it?

[limber cliff]

if you play reserve ye

[limber cliff]

if not sell it

[grand flicker]

I personally would use the mosin. Most mosin ammo will pen t5 and the other guns like the sks need good ammo for it to be viable (not advice just stating my opinion)

[icy fable]

you will need it for a quest, and it's not a bad room

[surreal barn]

humm i see "well that i can do" heehhehe
i have more trouble finding people before the find me ((but so far the ones i found the struggle was seeing my bullets dink in their armor and even head sometimes it feels like

[prime comet]

well i dont play reserve

but i intend to if i have any good keys for it tbh

[surreal barn]

the question i have now though
is whats the difference between mosin
and Mosin "carbine"

[somber dragon]

run harder hitting ammo if possible

[icy fable]

then it's a keeper

[grand flicker]

Range maybe? I’m not 100% sure

[somber dragon]

p sure theres not anything significant

[surreal barn]

all i can run is PS... for 7.62 and 5.52 "although maybe i can run another ammo just dunno how"

[prime comet]

they're my reserve/shoreline keys

[open hedge]

Carbine has shorter barrel and this worse accuracy but better ergo iirc

[icy fable]

there's 3 similar rooms, that's one of the keys, and then there's 4 nice ones for the underground bunker which are never really contested

[surreal barn]

man imagine if tarkov soldiers find out about shimming...

[grand flicker]

Ps works but it’s not great

[surreal barn]

what ergo does? (cause i can understand worst MoA) but ergo? not really

[open hedge]

Ads speed and stamina drain from aiming

[icy fable]

reserve has so many keys that i'd recommend a docs case or key tool specifically for that map

[somber dragon]

youll find or unlock it soon enough, id recommended looking at an ammo chart so when you find the good shit in raid you can keep it

[grand flicker]

Sway while aiming, ads speed, aim stamina @surreal barn

[icy fable]

and reserve has a tonne of intel/money/drive spawns, so docs case will fill easily

[prime comet]

that map just idk

i've barely touched it

[icy fable]

there's even people bringing a keytool AND an empty docs case for reserve

[surreal barn]

ahhh i see!

i'll keep that in mind. although i just loot everything i can take. cause usually surviving is the thoughest part for me "especially finding extrac

[prime comet]

i've killed gardredd on it and domed 2 groups of raiders in one run

[icy fable]

has great loot, terrible extracts

[prime comet]

but i haven't learned it because of the extracts

yeah

[grand flicker]

D2 isn’t TERRIBLE

[prime comet]

i have a RR which comes in handy for reserve right?

[surreal barn]

AHHH!!! thanks
so carbine it is! i wont be sniping THAT much with iron sights

[earnest hull]

Horrible extracts. Either get a red rebel or prepare to die

[somber dragon]

ah okay thats fair for a mew player, but later on youll emd up ahvign to drop stuff so that you can get the most value out of your runs

[icy fable]

ratty noises intensify it's decent

[grand flicker]

This statement always confuses me lol. I find it faster to just go D2 and I never find anybody down there

If I’m running reserve I’m killing raiders

I guess it depends on what I’m doing

[earnest hull]

The 3 times I’ve gone to D2 I’ve had extract campers twice

[icy fable]

i'm still in the process of learning to deal with raiders efficiently tbh, so my extract opinion is probably tainted

[earnest hull]

I’d rather wait at hermetic door for someone to hit the alarm lol

[somber dragon]

also, id recommended having a map pulled up on a phone when learning maps, it makes life so much easier

[icy fable]

because I like the hermetic door

[grizzled jolt]

I think also carbine doesnt let you mount an optic on it

[somber dragon]

they have exfils on them usually too

[icy fable]

dozens of extracts, didn't get camped once

[merry swift]

RR gang

[earnest hull]

Red rebel for life. Til you forget to wear an armored rig….

[somber dragon]

ironically the only time ive been exit camped on reserve was at rr

[icy fable]

but I pop an L1 stim before the run, just in case I get held up mid run from switch to door

[merry swift]

Armor in backpack gang

[grizzled jolt]

2 days ago I killed 2 rats in D2, best feeling ever

[viscid kraken]

or get your paracord

[grizzled jolt]

lv 55 camping d2

[merry swift]

Paracord exfil doesnt allow armor mate

[open hedge]

D2 is good

[stone surge]

extract camping can happen everywhere, the thing with D2 is that there's barely any counterplay to it. RR campers can be outplayed pretty easily

[earnest hull]

Backpack was full. Was just a Korund though and just chucked it in a nearby dark corner. Got it back lol

[somber dragon]

oh ik, it was night and i didnt see the guy lmao

[surreal barn]

ah i do. i never know where i spawned though...

[earnest hull]

I see your opinion and reject it for my personal preference

[open hedge]

D2 campers are easy to predict and outplay as they are usually stuck to one spot

[stone surge]

it also depends if it's a solo d2 camper or a group, because a well executed d2 camp is hard to beat

[icy fable]

"just a Korund" is just a beautiful bait in this chat

[somber dragon]

oh youll learn with time, what maps do you play on

[surreal barn]

mostly woods, shoreline, custom "and sometimes interchange"

[somber dragon]

you can usually find where you are based on landmarks

[surreal barn]

mostly woods recently though

"i tried custom.. got spawncamepd"

[earnest hull]

Valid lol. First wipe level 35 and I remember the struggle

[mint light]

korund is mid

[somber dragon]

most people recommend woods amd customs first, both are pretty easy to get around on

[open hedge]

It’s stats are quite good for it’s price

[earnest hull]

Max is mid

[mint light]

pay tiny bit more for gzhel

🙏🏻

[open hedge]

Gzhel doesn’t repair

[mint light]

i dont care stop being broke

[icy fable]

there it is...

[stone surge]

Then might aswell use CPC if money doesnt concern you 😛

[mint light]

armored rig stinky

[stone surge]

CPC Gang

[open hedge]

I’d rather spend 40k for near brand new armor than another 100k for 1 more raid

[mint light]

gzhel takes an extra bullet from bp and m80 n shii

[icy fable]

not because you tossed an armor, but because of the ensuing ghzel vs korund flame war

[mint light]

id rather live

[earnest hull]

Just go in without armor since BP will kill you regardless

[stone surge]

gzhel is quite a lot better than korund though, also less movement penalties.

[open hedge]

Not even gen4 or defender 2 can take more than 1 round of Bp so that seems like a bad comparison

[open hedge]

But you can run it for longer for cheaper

[stone surge]

yea but it breaks after 1 shot

[open hedge]

We are talking budget here

[stone surge]

i'd rather take a TV-110 honestly over a korund

[open hedge]

If budget isn’t a thing I’m running Gen4 over both of them

[earnest hull]

Beginner friendly budget = MMAC

[open hedge]

^

Beginner rigs are mmac and that green class 3 propane barter

Super cheap

Stops buckshot

[mint light]

survive 3 with gzhel

2 with korund

give or take

[open hedge]

I’ve been 2 tapped through gen4 with Bp

Gen4 is better than both of them

[earnest hull]

Max are ya proud of me now? Finally changed my name lol

[open hedge]

Neither Korund or Gzhel will stop bp

So don’t compare them that way

[mint light]

OR WHAT

[icy fable]

[open hedge]

I’m just saying to doesn’t make sense

Hell I use hex grids a lot and it only stops like 2 bp

[icy fable]

mutters you're not making any sense... rumbling why don't you just stop using armor all together?

[earnest hull]

Armor is a myth

[kindred grotto]

PACA >

[icy fable]

[open hedge]

Tbh armor doesn’t stop bp often anyway so

I Usually run class 4 because most things don’t stop Bp anyway

[mint light]

or ur broke

[stone surge]

hexgrid can stop up to 4 BPs

[earnest hull]

Key word being can

[stone surge]

yup but pretty reliable 3

the 4th is a gamble

and you dont wear tier5 to stop BP either.

you msotly wear it to stop anything but BP and m62 like m80/m855a1/BT and such

[earnest hull]

Bounced a BP off my dick helmet once…. And only once. 2nd shot got me

[open hedge]

I only wear armor to stop low tier stuff so I always run class 4 for the extra mobility and cheapness

[dawn geyser]

Holy heck, Coffee joined the max cult

This is getting out of hand.

[open hedge]

Main reason for this is I run shoreline the most so I only run into 855a1 and Bp so armor isn’t much use to me

[mint light]

i need one more person

and i get clan leader role

ONE

[icy fable]

Oh no

[hazy veldt]

Slick time

[earnest hull]

I prefer to see it as a support group and not a cult. Also I drank the kool-aid

[dawn geyser]

Oh no.

[icy fable]

that's what every cultist says

[mint light]

ONE MORE MEMBER

wait i have two bots

fuck

[earnest hull]

Support group initiate

[mint light]

do bots count

[open hedge]

I love running hexgrid but I don’t run slick often

[icy fable]

only if you hadn't revealed they are bots

instagram follower count 101

[mint light]

cyberflame join me to get us 50 members

even if ur not max gang

i will gige u non max gang role

[open hedge]

Give me full administrator and I’ll join

[icy fable]

you are trying to convert the one person who actively preaches against your very existence? nice try heretic

[mint light]

ur just mad ur not max ganf

[open hedge]

Anti max gang should remain strong

[mint light]

it has two members

i will shit on u 1v1 tarkov real

[open hedge]

If offline co op existed I would 1v1 you

[mint light]

we need 1v1s

[hazy veldt]

just go shoreline village at night.

[icy fable]

i'll accept a 1v1 in tetris or quake

[open hedge]

Max I will 1v1 you if you provide all money for insurance and pay for armor and ammo replacements

I don’t want to waste money on some stupid squabble

But you are welcome too

[icy fable]

duels should be at noon, armorless and fmj revolver

[open hedge]

Nah both teams have killa helmet and zabrelo with a chamber loaded TT as the only weapon other than melee

Taiga 1v1s

[icy fable]

why not a backpack full of impact granades?

[open hedge]

Nah

Too easy

5 second fuse grenades

[icy fable]

sounds better tbh

[open hedge]

Grenades should give the concussed affect if they hit you in the head

[mint light]

lets both be scavs

u dont lose rep if ur in a group

[open hedge]

I’d like to actually have good gear

If we both get similarly geared scavs then maybe

Don’t want it to be unfair

True test of skill

[icy fable]

toz vs makarov

[open hedge]

My scav usually has decent guns

4.50 scav rep

Would anyone like to try and use dead servers to do the woods and lighthouse co op extract later today?

Those are the only ones I haven’t done

[earnest hull]

Did that with a buddy. Found that 20 minutes seemed to be the magic number to get into the same raid lol got him his max rep tho

[open hedge]

Alright

Although I probably won’t do the lighthouse extracts

I fucking hate lighthouse

Woods tho is one of my favorite maps

[vapid flume]

why does the sr-imp do 0 damage to scavs

[open hedge]

It’s magic

Infinite pmc damage

[earnest hull]

Well if it’s zero damage we can only assume it means you’re missing

[vapid flume]

It took 8 hits to thorax and stomach to kill the mf scav

[earnest hull]

Ammo

[vapid flume]

ps

[open hedge]

Ps has high damage low pen

[vapid flume]

he had like a class 2

[icy fable]

competence related complication

[open hedge]

PS can 2 tap thorax if no armor

With class 2 it should only take like 2-4

[vapid flume]

and of course he doesnt hit me in the armor only blacks 2 arms with 2 shots

[open hedge]

Pistols have negative recoil bug if spam firing so you probably just missed

[vapid flume]

I did miss some but I hit a total of 8 hits onto him

[open hedge]

Stomach and arm moment

[vapid flume]

and I know at least 3-4 hit thorax and stomach along with me also hitting him with a sv98

[open hedge]

This genuinely sounds like a skill issue

No scav can survive all of this

You were just missing

[vapid flume]

it said 8 hit count unless the game is buggin I hit him 8 times

[earnest hull]

I think the game counts the collateral damage as separate hits doesn’t it?

[open hedge]

No

It doesn’t

I think

Someone fact check

I think fragged rounds count as 2 tho

[vapid flume]

taking extra heavy bleed stopping this raid because interchange is apparently the place for insane scavs

[open hedge]

I just bring a grizzly every raid

Grizzly cms 2 ahf1 2 Zagustin 4 propital and 1 adrenaline

I am the medicinal man

I can fix anything

Team medic

[vapid flume]

cant fix not having eod

[open hedge]

L

[vapid flume]

well

can but i dont want to buy any more on this game

[open hedge]

My standard edition setup was a calok b salewa and cms calok is kept in pockets

[merry swift]

I think it might do tbh, I often get high hit counts when sniping with low frag ammo

Like 6 shots 9 hits on 13% ammo

[open hedge]

Thinking back maybe sometimes I will get hit count higher than ammo fired but it will still say I missed 20% of shots

Which logically can’t work

[mint light]

ayo

[vapid flume]

my setup is in the alpha: docs goldenstar and ammo, pockets everything else salewa calok bandage splint

[mint light]

GUYS I GOT THE CLAN LEADER ROLE

WOOO

reeses doubted me

[open hedge]

I still doubt you

[earnest hull]

All behold our glorious cult leader…..I mean group support leader

[mint light]

i did it baby

[merry swift]

Yea so its frags count double or collats count double (or both).

But I imagine shit like m61 will overpen frequently but it doesnt fragment for shit

Only 13%

[open hedge]

God in the topic of frags remember the igolnik 100% frag chance bug

[earnest hull]

Well at least that’s that mystery solved

[merry swift]

That was a feature to make it viable

[open hedge]

Igolnik was completely busted on release because it did like 60 flesh damage

Frags every shot

60 pen

Full auto with low recoil

Seems balanced

[merry swift]

Thanks nikiter very cool

[ancient thorn]

is it possible to de-level a trader ?

[open hedge]

Yes

[merry swift]

Sure, lose rep

[ancient thorn]

oof

ok, ty guys

[open hedge]

Replacing dailies and doing harmful quests for other traders can de level

[earnest hull]

Certain quests will affect trader level but it’s easy to get back so don’t worry about it too much

[ancient thorn]

ooh, i get it

ok

thx for the heads up !

does the scav timer get any lower than 20 minutes ?

[open hedge]

Higher scav rep and intelligence center levels reduce the time

[ancient thorn]

nice (=

whats the minimum time ?

[open hedge]

6 minuets i think

[earnest hull]

Sounds about right

[latent spruce]

What map is a good way to find gas analyzer I only found one and that was on a dead body

[open hedge]

Reserve drop down has usually 1 per raid

Obv reserve has risk to it

As it is not beginner friendly

[split dagger]

No map is to be fair

[open hedge]

True

[latent spruce]

I have look in files cabinet and nothing

[ancient thorn]

woah

[latent spruce]

But least wipe I was find all over

[ancient thorn]

most of my gasan(5 or 6) were found in interchange, at oli

[earnest hull]

^

Same. Found 2 on the shelves of OLI in one raid

[kindred grotto]

I've gotten double gas spawns at usec stash in customs, but its not the greatest

[latent spruce]

I been to interchange one time

Crazy map

[split dagger]

Interchange is pretty easy

Watch a guide on it

Its just like a normal mall and everything is divided in sections

[vapid flume]

just as I start to regret using the sr-1mp I 1 tap someone

[split dagger]

Oli is green part of the mall, idea is blue and the middle are the stores

[open hedge]

Idk next wipe I’ll be running drop down for gas analyzers

But I also know the map better than the average beginner

[latent spruce]

I am lv11 and I just finished the 1st gas analyzer quest

[split dagger]

Drop down is good

[merry swift]

They nerfed the spawnrate a ton this wipe

[split dagger]

Almost one every raid

[merry swift]

Dropdown is most reliable, file cabinets I havent found one all wipe I dont think. Interchange occasionally

[cold fog]

Ugh. I shouldn't have taken the task to snipe scavs from over 80m. My distance guesses are shit and my sniping skills are worse

[fervent turret]

use a range finder maybe

[solemn raptor]

Imperial muppet...

[cold fog]

???

Oh wait never mind I get it

[solemn raptor]

Told you

[cold fog]

Bro I can't even guess the number of feet something is away from me

[split dagger]

Just be far

If you think your close go further

[open hedge]

That’s kind of a skill issue

Like plainly put

[olive bough]

rangefinder is your friend

[merry swift]

Just go woods tbh

[split dagger]

And when u kill scav check in tasks if you did it right

[cold fog]

Lmao I meant in real life but nah you're right

[merry swift]

You can snipe scavs from 80m+ in ton of places on woods

[solemn raptor]

@cold fog I can join you on factory to have a go at that quest if you're down.

[cold fog]

I'll try that later. My last raid before I hopped off for a break I was moving away from scav house and took a bullet to the head. Never even saw the fucker. Was a nightmare

[cold fog]

80m on factory? I didn't even know that as possible

[open hedge]

Is it possible to get a kill pmcs from 50m or more on factory daily quest

[split dagger]

You cant do that quest on factory its not long enough

[split dagger]

Prob not

[cold fog]

I do need factory PMC kills tho. Specifically in the office which is a pain

Too many corners

[split dagger]

Why is it pain

[fervent turret]

office factory is fun

[olive bough]

tbh just grab a shotgun, load it with flechette and camp stairs

[fervent turret]

any floor counts

[cold fog]

I'm garbage at checking all my corners correctly and quickly still. Getting better but it gets me killed fairly regularly

[merry swift]

50m is def doable I think. You can sit in the rafters above forklift and look at gate 3

[nocturne lintel]

where the heck do i find these

[split dagger]

Audio abuse people, if they are on third floor you go from second and hit them under

[merry swift]

Customs, reserve, lighthouse

[nocturne lintel]

oh the mounteds derp

[merry swift]

They're mounted machine guns

Aye

[cold fog]

I need to go lighthouse sooner than later

[golden nest]

Any idea on how to unlock the bitcoin farm??? do I have to complete a certain quest or something?

[olive bough]

well click on it and see the requirements

[golden nest]

it doesnt show

[open hedge]

Intel center 2

That’s what you need

[whole thistle]

He has Intel 2

[olive bough]

then you just need those components

[split dagger]

Well thats what you need

[cold fog]

There are some maps I need to learn still, I'm just getting comfy with customs, interchange, and factory. And sorta woods but with all the bushes I'll never really feel comfortably on that map.

[whole thistle]

That's all you need lol

[golden nest]

so once i get the components it'll unlock?

[whole thistle]

Yes

[golden nest]

thats weird

[merry swift]

You'll eventually learn all the maps as you keep questing tbh

[golden nest]

it doesnt do that for the other stuff

[merry swift]

Except for labs, there's not really quests that send you all over labs

[whole thistle]

It does though, look at your air filter

[golden nest]

ok I'll take your word for it

[split dagger]

People dont usually hide in bushes unless its a high trafficked area

[fleet orbit]

Bruh... I don't understand playing as scavs and killing your own fellow scavs...

😂 i spawn, say hello, do the safety wiggle and the dude one shots me

[whole thistle]

Gear fear sufferers pretending to be pmcs

[fleet orbit]

💀

[golden nest]

Thanks for the help

[fleet orbit]

F

[split dagger]

Its usually the broke pscavs

Whenever I scav I just drop loot i find to a fellow pscav

[fleet orbit]

damn

[open hedge]

I share my loot with pscavs even as a pmc

Only if I detect no hostility tho

[violet crystal]

i see dome!!

[brittle canyon]

now dome the dome

[cold fog]

It's less about campers and more about how shit visibility is on most of the map. With trees, bushes, rocks, and the changing elevations my sight lines are never as clear as I'd like

[split dagger]

Have you tried different postfx

[open hedge]

I’ve been trying to do shooter born in heaven recently but the fog fucks me up every time

Lack of visibility moment

[split dagger]

Buy better eyes

Easy

[open hedge]

Bruh

I want rogues vision

[ancient thorn]

how do i report a cheater ?

[open hedge]

When they kill you click the report button next to their name

[upbeat phoenix]

oh no i got that task aswell, i cba doing it right now

[open hedge]

Most “cheaters” are usually just better than you but report them if you want

[merry swift]

Fog is so sad when doing sbih

Sbih is a very sad experience anyways this late in the wipe

[open hedge]

Fog is never there until you try to in snipe

[open hedge]

Reserve is always dead

[cold fog]

Fucking facts

[upbeat phoenix]

I think i just reported once for cheater and it was bcs he onetapped me then procceeded to hit like 9 shots onto my friends visor

[merry swift]

Yea reserve sbih is super easy in early wipe (2 raids and done)

But late wipe it's hard unless people still looting

[open hedge]

I have none done on reserve

[merry swift]

You might get lucky with some people still going for loot spots

[ancient thorn]

nah he was trying to shoot me through a a shit ton of concrete walls then he entered the room running outta nowhere and just sprayed my face xD

[open hedge]

Only sbih I have done is customs

[merry swift]

Not bad cause that's the 'hardest' one

[open hedge]

How is customs the hardest?

[merry swift]

other maps there are a bunch of places where you can lock people into animations at 100m for easy sbih

[fleet orbit]

i think lighthouse is hardest

[open hedge]

I never see people on shoreline reserve or woods that are 100m away but customs at fortress it’s very easy to shoot people coming out of crack house

[fleet orbit]

my ass got sniped by a rogue with the grenade launcher thing

😂

[merry swift]

Customs only has 1 of those spots that I know of (2 if you count stashes) and they don't really work this late in wipe

[whole thistle]

L

[merry swift]

Lighthouse isn't needed for shooter born in haven task

[upbeat phoenix]

well that guy shoots from like 29km away

[merry swift]

Yet. But I think they can add it, it's a great sniper map

[fleet orbit]

i just wanted to get some rogue loot

:((

i heard they have good stuff

[merry swift]

They do

Bit less than they used to

But still worth

[olive bough]

please bsg optimise LH I wanna go farm rouges

[fleet orbit]

does it make sense to go as scav to farm rogues?

[whole thistle]

theyre impossibly to kill or loot if you don't have a perfect plan for killing them

[whole thistle]

no lol

[jaunty cliff]

Just get a better pc

[olive bough]

like I have the money to do that

[whole thistle]

sell your organs

[fleet orbit]

i have an i5 9400f and rtx 2060 super and i get like 26 fps on low ;(( on lighthouse

[jaunty cliff]

I can run lh on a laptop i got for 500, how bad is your pc

[fleet orbit]

yeah but... how impossible is it?

[merry swift]

Sure it does

[jaunty cliff]

I get like 50 dude idk

[olive bough]

I just can't run it 60 fps constantly

[fleet orbit]

perhaps you downloaded a lot of ram

[whole thistle]

if you dont have a scope its actually impossible

[merry swift]

They're very farmable on scavs if you know what you're doing

[jaunty cliff]

Exactly

[olive bough]

RTX 3060, i7 10th gen and 16 GB ram

[merry swift]

I used to farm them a lot mid wipe

scav and pmc alike

[fleet orbit]

ayt, imma go farm rogues as scav

wish me luck

update yall in a bit

[merry swift]

GL.

[jaunty cliff]

Ok? And 50fps isnt a huge deal if youre not fighting pmcs

[whole thistle]

night sks pso is the rogue strat of the century

[limber cliff]

best craft for empty fuel cans?

[jaunty cliff]

Id recommend more ram

[fleet orbit]

i have a shotgun... on scav

[merry swift]

Strength training 💪

[open hedge]

Flechette

[fleet orbit]

opinions?

sugestions?

[merry swift]

Shoot em in the face.

[olive bough]

yeah that's the next thing I wanted to buy

[fleet orbit]

do i have a chance?

[limber cliff]

i am god

[merry swift]

I farmed rogues with a toz

[olive bough]

eh I guess

[merry swift]

It's not about the weapon as much as about your approach

[uncut glen]

Hey does anyone want to help me out with my first ever raid?

[fleet orbit]

ayt

[merry swift]

The wrong approach is death

[whole thistle]

mine's pretty similar and runs lighthouse at 60-70
maybe tarkov just hates you

[uncut glen]

like guide me

[fleet orbit]

i fell for that

a couple of weeks ago

[whole thistle]

?

[olive bough]

it probably does

[fleet orbit]

the "help me in my first raid"

got killed 💀

[whole thistle]

oh

[fleet orbit]

by some dude

[uncut glen]

fell for that? bruh im brand fudging new

[fleet orbit]

i like your profile pic

hah thanks

[merry swift]

[fleet orbit]

i stepped on a fucking landmine

and died

10/10 lighthouse content

[merry swift]

Nice.

[open hedge]

It takes 2 landlines to die

[jaunty cliff]

[open hedge]

Not just one

[merry swift]

Bingo

[jaunty cliff]

It only took one guess

[merry swift]

You're a literal god

[pure heath]

anyone teaching lighthouse rogue farm?

[open hedge]

Not too hard on factory

[merry swift]

Yea I know but I just cba tho

[jaunty cliff]

Ikr

[merry swift]

Thought it was fitting for jaeger to hand em out

[merry swift]

What do you need

[pure heath]

I just want to learn how to farm the rogues loot in a safe and efficient way

[open hedge]

Shoot them from far away 👍

[merry swift]

Are you bear or usec?

[pure heath]

Bear

Ik its harder for Bear

[merry swift]

Not really

[brittle canyon]

shoot them 👍

[merry swift]

Just the approach is different

After your first kill its equally hard

I'll DM you my route

[pure heath]

ok cool thanks, appreciate it bro

[olive bough]

You need to reduce their health to 0 while keeping yours above 0. Here's a little loot guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHmPdAIjeqo

[open hedge]

Technically you don’t need to deal all of their hp as damage simply blacking out their head or torso will do the job

[merry swift]

Yea there are a ton of guides out there. I watched a few for reference but not all of them are equally good

[olive bough]

good observation

[merry swift]

I think rengars guide was good

I saw some other streamers guide that was horrendously slow and will get you swarmed by playerscavs guaranteed unless you play dead servers

Forgot who it was but the guy went all the way from west to east and looted everything

Took like 25 mins

[viscid kraken]

do you guys have binaural audio enabled or disabled?

[pliant marten]

What's difference between usec and bear in game?

[brittle canyon]

bear is cooler

[pliant marten]

Other than cosmetics and language or whatever

[merry swift]

They get different quests

And AI may react differently

[pliant marten]

These rogues, aren't hostile vs usec?

[merry swift]

Not initially no

[jaunty cliff]

Usec has puffy jacket

[pliant marten]

Should your group of friends choose same faction?

[jaunty cliff]

Doesn't matter that much

[ancient thorn]

whats the default button for scope zoom change

[earnest hull]

Play mixed factions so you can grab each other’s dog tags

[edgy plover]

Primarily cosmetics and language - the quests are essentially the same - and Rouges on Lighthouse hate BEAR's a little bit more -- Really doesn't matter

[earnest hull]

All the bear tags I’ve needed I’ve gotten from my buddy lol

[edgy plover]

Alt-RightClick

[merry swift]

BEARS get flashbang rounds for shotgun, USEC do not

BEAR is OP as fuck

[ancient thorn]

ty !

whats a "good" money making method for a new player, just hit lvl 15 and dont feel confident to start hunting rogues xD

[pliant marten]

Interchange scav runs

[ancient thorn]

good in quotes cause im not looking for the most 100% super risk/reward stuff, just a scav run or something that gives some roubles

[pliant marten]

Fill up on grocery store food cans, and check weapon boxes

You can ignore everything and 9/10 nothing will harm you

There's an occasional PMC camping exits

[ancient thorn]

hmm, seems good

[pliant marten]

Or hostile scav

Then you flea market the stuff you find

Rinse repeat

[ancient thorn]

ok, will try

[edgy plover]

Start learning maps, just based on your interest - most maps have Caches, which are very easy to make money with and often untouched, which leads to pretty quiet raids - but still allows you to do tasks, learn the map, and profit as a PMC

[pliant marten]

Oli is good too. The Green hardware store

Yeah, lookup the map and check caches, duffle bags, weapon boxes

I'd say you make money on scav, do quests on PMC. If you do well on PMC and kill another PMC, take his weapon and if your stuff is insured, drop it all and just take his crap

I'll get nice kitted weapon off another PMC and use that until I lose it

[earnest hull]

I make good money just hitting stashes on lighthouse between the Landing Zone Hideout extract and the South Road extract. Can also run through the chattels if you spawn there

[ancient thorn]

kinda overwhelming but ill try and learn some maps !

[pliant marten]

Just stick for a few. It's easier that way

1-3 maps

[ancient thorn]

customs and lighthouse ?

what do u guys say

[pliant marten]

I play customs, woods, interchange as a newbie. But reserve and lighthouse has big loot

Reserve and lighthouse I think are best techinally, but I think more dangerous

[earnest hull]

Lighthouse is a good one. Just be wary of other player scavs as they have been a bit unfriendly on lighthouse lately

[ancient thorn]

i dont think i have ever went on reserve

dont even know how it looks like xD

[pliant marten]

Interchange is super safe and decent profit

Reserve/lighthouse more risk, more reward

Like, you can scav interchange with volume off and watch a show at the same time and profit

It's literally just other scavs shopping lol

[edgy plover]

Lighthouse is pretty brutal for new players, but profitable for sure - Customs, Interchange, Woods, and Reserve (ONLY AS A SCAV, to start) would be my recommendations to begin

[pliant marten]

I run into friendly scavs all the time on interchange too

Giving me stuff or tips

[ancient thorn]

oh, so no lighthouse

customs and reserve then

i dont rlly like interchange xDD

[pliant marten]

Interchange as scav,. Customs as pmc

[ancient thorn]

i find it creepy walking in that abandoned store O_O

[pliant marten]

It's not trust me

Scavs are all friendly

[open hedge]

Interchange pmc can be a rat filled chaotic mess

[pliant marten]

I use to think it's scary, but it's way more chill now

It's not common though

Like I said, I might get killed once every 10 runs

[open hedge]

I barely make in it o the building without being sniped or camped as a pmc

[earnest hull]

You’ll find friendly pscavs too though. I’m one em. Gave a guy yesterday a bronze lion and when he didn’t have room for it in his t-bag I gave him my pillbox bag

[edgy plover]

Lighthouse is a lot less friendly, but that's because it's filled with loot - so up to you if you want to brave that.

I love Reserve as a scav - and Customs as a PMC. Those are good maps to start with if you don't want to be as safe as possible, but don't want to go for the highest risk spots around

[pliant marten]

Me and my friends all do interchange and we suck and almost always get out with full loot. Might depend of time of day

[ancient thorn]

yeah, will do that

[pliant marten]

I've been unlucky and get killed a few runs in a row. But normally not

[open hedge]

Interchange is just a rat breeding den for me

[pliant marten]

Might depend on the route

[ancient thorn]

just got to learn to transverse interchange xD

[pliant marten]

I only hit up Oli, goshan, then leave

I don't go thru small stores

[ancient thorn]

most of my runs for wd-40 took >15minutes just finding oli lmao

[pliant marten]

Once you learn it though, it's super easy

[open hedge]

I go to the big fish techlight texco kiba emc ultra med etc

[pliant marten]

Yeah , that's spicier. I need gphones,. So I gotta check out techlight now

[earnest hull]

I play scav like I’m Santa. As long as we’re having a good interaction I’ll Likely give you something worthwhile lol

[open hedge]

I do that as pmc more than scav

[pliant marten]

Yeah I've had my best times as scav on interchange this wipe. Ever since they added fence rep. It's way more chill

[edgy plover]

Interchange is worth your time eventually, the food spawn is incredible early on, and it is filled with goodies. But yea, stay on the edges and avoid the central area of the mall - LEARN CACHES -- I know https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/interchange allows you to toggle on Caches specifically, and they're always profitable

[brittle canyon]

you’re just showing that you have stuff, good way to get shot

[ancient thorn]

just like real life

[brittle canyon]

exactly

[pliant marten]

Interchange scav is sooo chill lol. Full of laughs

[brittle canyon]

Realism™️

[pliant marten]

I've had 2 people in my last few runs even lead me to plane loot

[earnest hull]

I mean if they want to shoot then go for it. I don’t lose anything out of it unlike the guy that shoots me

[ancient thorn]

the frighe

[pliant marten]

They'd tell me, "hey wanna come with me to a plane cache"

[ancient thorn]

fridge*, is on ll3 for therapist ?

[pliant marten]

Jaeger level 2

[ancient thorn]

ooh, ok

[pliant marten]

yeah thats the one xD

Bro go to interchange as a scav. Don't be nervous. You might die sure, but keep at it. Trust me, it's chill af

[earnest hull]

Honestly though pmc’s are usually friendlier than other pscavs on lighthouse lol. I’ve come to water treatment and had pmc’s watch over me while I loot leftovers on rogues and escort me out to shoreline extract lol

[open hedge]

I scav on woods and reserve

[ancient thorn]

thermal bag !

[ancient thorn]

wow

im level 15 and am yet to encounter a friendly pmc

[pliant marten]

No

Scavs

Scavs are friendly to scavs

Not PMC

[earnest hull]

Not super common but honestly if you voip you can have some pretty good interactions

[open hedge]

I find friendly pmcs

[pliant marten]

As a scav, you just don't shoot your gun at all. Literally just go around looting, assume everyone else is a scav

[dawn geyser]

New players

[edgy plover]

VOIP is my most leveled up weapon
It has fundamentally changed the game, I love it.

[dawn geyser]

Gave timmies a chance.

But it also gave the Rat lords a weapon.

[pliant marten]

I just think interchange is brain dead. When I scav on reserve, I die more. Need to pay attention

Scav interchange feels like a different game

[earnest hull]

And in my personal experience if you let people know you’re new they’re more willing to help you out or at least leave you alone

[pliant marten]

Yeah totally

[open hedge]

I lie about being poor all the time

[pliant marten]

I'll just walk around interchange like I'm literally shopping 'hey buddy!"

[ancient thorn]

damn

[pliant marten]

If I get killed, whether, I'll run it again and have better luck

[edgy plover]

Every interaction is L.A. Noire, you're always wondering if they're about to betray you -- adds a whole new detective element to the game, it's so good

[ancient thorn]

100% of my raids, scav or pmc im like

in a warzone

[pliant marten]

I'm not saying you'll never die. But it's actually less often

[open hedge]

“I don’t even have 1 mil please let me go” is my usual thing

[ancient thorn]

tense and looking all angles

[pliant marten]

So you might not know this

But as a scav,. Scavs wont shoot you unless you shoot them

[dawn geyser]

Before I knew TKing wasn't enforced, I let peeps join me on my stream

[pliant marten]

AI scavs, that is

[dawn geyser]

[faint wyvern]

ok

ty

[ancient thorn]

what about shoreline guys

never seen someone talk about it

[earnest hull]

As long as you avoid the resort you’ll be fine

[pliant marten]

shoreline is kinda chill

ya

[kindred grotto]

Gas station hill be careful with it people like to sit on it

[brittle canyon]

snoreline

[earnest hull]

Just hit the stashes and stuff along the pier, beach, and scav island and you can do alright. Especially the 2 safes in the pier building

[open hedge]

Shoreline is mid unless you have health resort keys

[olive bough]

Then it becomes mid+

[edgy plover]

Shoreline is huge, 95% super boring, with a central location where most everything happens.
If you want to avoid conflict altogether, go to Shoreline and avoid resort

[earnest hull]

Shoreline was my go to scav run til I started doing lighthouse

[open hedge]

Shoreline is mid+ until you randomly find like 5 led x in one raid and that compensates for the usual lack of loot

[pliant marten]

i oughta switch out of interchange for my scav runs, im just really use to it and its second nature now

[jagged laurel]

Or you go labs

[pliant marten]

[jagged laurel]

And get loot all the time

[open hedge]

Labs has entry cost

Shoreline doesn’t

[olive bough]

Fair enough

[open hedge]

Also can only go labs a few times per day

[jagged laurel]

Shoreline has emotional cost

[open hedge]

Fair

[earnest hull]

Ya, trying to help out a level 15 here, not someone with millions and good gear

[ancient thorn]

[pliant marten]

interchange scav just feels like a co-op game lol

[open hedge]

You get millions by going shoreline

[jagged laurel]

I went labs with a scav kit came out with 3 hex 2 led and 2 mk47

[ancient thorn]

i cant even extract customs 8 times outta 10 xD

[earnest hull]

Cool. Not something someone new to the game will likely be able to pull off

[pliant marten]

[brittle canyon]

[earnest hull]

I’d do some runs with ya but currently at work and won’t be home for another 6 hours lol

Fr

[jade cobalt]

Getting the game later today and i know nothing about it

[ancient thorn]

bruh

[jade cobalt]

How much shit am i in

[earnest hull]

The real question is….

How much do you enjoy the feeling of getting punched in the dick

[ancient thorn]

depends on the situation

[earnest hull]

And that’s tarkov in a nutshell

[zinc canopy]

Well you can always stop playing so only as much as you want

[serene reef]

the game literally requires a PhD to play

Its advised to learn and then play

not learn by playing xd

[open hedge]

This game requires a degree in dark souls lore to be successful in

[jade cobalt]

Lmao what

[serene reef]

4real tho without knowledge of ballistics

aka what is ammo pen and dmg

medical knowledge

[zinc canopy]

So that’s why I’m not good

[serene reef]

what are and how to cure

heavy light bleeds

fractures

blacked limbs

[jade cobalt]

Oh god

[serene reef]

map knowledge

cause if you cant find the exit

you are left behind

[open hedge]

A phd in philosophy also works

[serene reef]

and lose everything

[jade cobalt]

Is this a game where if you know what your doing the same shit will happen over and over

[surreal barn]

should i buy armor? and helmet?

if so.. which? i only got traders level 1 so far (and i'm total level 5)

[ancient thorn]

ragman selss a god helmet

that green one

[serene reef]

also there is no matchmaking so you're gonna be playing vs lvls 48 like me who will eat your booty for breakfast

and troll you

[ancient thorn]

high ricochet

[sterile minnow]

Get a phd in ratting

[open hedge]

If you have a lot of money armor is good but if your budget just buy cheap stuff

[earnest hull]

This is the time of game where you should treat every bush and patch of tall grass as hostile until proven to be otherwise

[serene reef]

tbf i dont believe in helmets as much, ergo pen just not worth it if ill die anyway

xD

just like that funni video that module 3m is the best bodyarmor

why wear armor at all just take it from the enemies 👌
