Yeah, it's a way cheaper ergo upgrade than the charging handle

[bold kernel]

were i get euro

[whole thistle]

skier 2

[minor mural]

you don't need that...

[solemn raptor]

well.. ergo isn't really all that important when dealing with reflex sights. Scopes are another story though.

[minor mural]

Arm fatigue, but yes

[solemn raptor]

He just wants to explore night woods...

[whole thistle]

[minor mural]

https://www.amazon.com/NcSTAR-AQPTLMG-Compact-Pistol-Release/dp/B0075MOZ9S go here, enter your credit card, and wait 3 days

wait, shit, that's the green one

[solemn raptor]

The more arm fatigue the better, makes it harder to rat so you don't end up holding some stupid angle for all day long while the opponent is flaking you.
For beginners it's a way to force uncomfortable behaviour, necessary behaviour that is, and in time it will be comfortable and you'll end up being a better player.

[solemn raptor]

He's going to be the first person in tarkov to take a barrel off an AK

ah.. there we go.

[minor mural]

I'm dying. 😂

[whole thistle]

i give up

tips on modding this bad boy ? 😈

[tacit ferry]

It cost like

700k

[gentle stratus]

WOOHOO

[ancient thorn]

nvm

let it be

[bold kernel]

???

[gentle stratus]

I just came in with a PACA and left with a fuckin HEXGRID LMFAO

[tacit ferry]

Suppressor is a little more than 700k actually

[solemn raptor]

what are you requirements?

[minor mural]

I'm trolling you, but you put the handguard in the handguard. THe pistol grip in the pistol grip. Etc

[ancient thorn]

i want to shoot and kill people

with the minimum skill required

[minor mural]

sell it buy a 2nd-in-slot AKM

[solemn raptor]

Any ergo/recoil requirements?

[ancient thorn]

but 800k is a little over budget

[open hedge]

Vpo 215 with AP

[minor mural]

you'll save 400k and do really well

[whole thistle]

thats the wrong thing you got a gas tube handguard combo

[ancient thorn]

dont know much about modding, just unlocked flea and want to test some stuff

is modding this one cheaper ?

[tulip dragon]

Can any1 send me a good akm build I have level 3 traders

[ancient thorn]

i want to use a good gun once

even if i get killed 15 seconds into raid

[minor mural]

I admittedly don't know much about the mutant, too rich my for my blood, but you can't go wrong with a VS Combo gas block, Zhukov stock, Eotech, and an AFG or RK-0 in an AKM with an SRVV muzzle brake

[mighty stump]

right click-edit preset, play around with stuff, click assemble-buy parts-back-assemble

[ancient thorn]

ooh, thats useful

[solemn raptor]

I'm going to let you in on a secret here. The gun isn't the weapon, it's a tool. The shooter is the weapon. It doesn't matter how fancy of a gun you have if you can't hit for anything, and your tactical gameplay is all over the place. I'm not saying you're a bad player, how would I know after all. I'm just saying that you should try to figure out stuff on your own, make the gun suit your playstyle. And the best way to do that is to either make the gun yourself, or ask about how you can make the weapon fit a specific playstyle.

[ancient thorn]

hmmm makes sense

[minor mural]

I think he is asking "the loot table is fuck huge, point me to the BIS, 2nd, and 3rd"

[ancient thorn]

i like tapping

most guns full auto just go all over the place

(with no mods that is)

[tacit ferry]

Very

Yeah

[bold kernel]

look at dis badboy@whole thistle

[mighty stump]

guns do that in this game, i think 'b' is the default to switch between firing modes

[tacit ferry]

you need grip

[ancient thorn]

is there a site like eft monster or mapgenie for modding guns ?

[whole thistle]

close enough

[minor mural]

something like this is my value, "buy a bunch and go clap some fools"

[hazy veldt]

mmm, well most full auto ARs still go all over the place, even modded

[minor mural]

@ancient thorn

[tacit ferry]

Only the first 4 shots ):

[hazy veldt]

only works with traders...

[bold kernel]

full aouto ?/

[ancient thorn]

damn, looks cool

i only have flea and peacekeeper lvl 2

[minor mural]

Not really. Peacekeeper 2 is the main thing you need to make it affordable

[ancient thorn]

how much would u say to build one of these ?

[bold kernel]

ump45 better

[ancient thorn]

werent u new to the game ?

[hazy veldt]

zhukov-s is 70-80k on flea or pk4.

[minor mural]

300k

[bold kernel]

yh but i watch yt

[bold kernel]

and read shity

[gleaming stratus]

Should I sell those?

[ancient thorn]

hmmmm

[hazy veldt]

vs combo is 85k or skier ll4

[ancient thorn]

i think 300k is a little expensive to me

xD

[minor mural]

vs combo is 85k and the zhuk is 85k. You can get the rest (well, not that RK-3 but a saw is good neough) from peacekeeper 2

[gleaming stratus]

Also to the guy that gave me that Gas analyzer like almost 2 months ago or more I love you skipped a whole ass task

[minor mural]

sec

[mighty stump]

i wouldn't, flash drive is needed for some quests, propane is for a fuel trade iirc

[hazy veldt]

It's hardly worth paying 190k for two meta parts at level 15.

especially since your ammunition choices will be mediocre.

[ancient thorn]

maybe i should just git gud

[gleaming stratus]

Too late and also Flash drive quests are far off for me dw

[ancient thorn]

and star tapping people with a mosin

[minor mural]

3rd best

[ancient thorn]

hmmmm this looks cheaper... so i like it

[hazy veldt]

better, since UAS is cheap on flea, but there are better handguards.

[minor mural]

That handguard is dropped by every third scav

it's a great budget option

[ancient thorn]

hey @hazy veldt , by max u mean lvl 100 ?

[hazy veldt]

No, I mean MAX GANG.

[ancient thorn]

oh

xD

[minor mural]

I personally use the 40 banana mags and restrict myself to using that four 3x1 slot rig

but thats my preference

[ancient thorn]

gonna save this one, its for tapping, right ?

[solemn raptor]

exactly, that's a great mindset. Full auto usually doesn't make you a better player. Semi lets you improve your aim, and in the end you'll have a lower time to kill because you're just shredding heads.
I'd recommend getting comfortable with scopes, it really improves your ability to hit those headshots. Either use a 1/4x variable optic, or a fixed 2x or 2.5x. I personally use the 2x from jeager level 2. Most people use reflex sights in tarkov, which means that in almost all fights you can get the advantage just by fighting at longer ranges. And if you get into a nasty situation you can usually just run to get further away, and boom you're back at the advantage. Have a think about it, try to experiment with different setups, different weapons etc, ammo.
Usually you can't have both high ergo and low recoil, you have to trade one for the other. If you decide on using scopes ergo becomes really important as it's essential to being able to put your sights on target quickly. Where as recoil isn't all that important as you're tap firing anyways and hopefully going for one shot headshots.
For reflex sights on the other hand ergo isn't all that important as you can usually aim while ADS'ing, and so you'll be on target once you get your sights up. So with reflex sights it's probably a better idea to go for low recoil instead of high ergo.

Also consider suppressors over other upgrades for long-range setups, it's really important to make it harder for the opponent to find your position to then find cover/fire back.

[hazy veldt]

It's adequate, but MOE AKM is a straight upgrade.

and moe akm is cheaper on flea

[minor mural]

The rails for the MOE annoy me

[minor mural]

Tap most things, but you'll be fine to hold W and spray fools with a laser

[mighty stump]

looks like more of a sprayer to me, i would recommend rfb or even vepr hunter for tapping, given the better ammo stats for those guns (m80)

[bold kernel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/936630078257897482/974027065110183936/VID-20220511-WA0004.mp4 i get dis

[ancient thorn]

wow, this was really helpful

[hazy veldt]

you don't need rail, you can just use afg m-lok

[ancient thorn]

thank you man ! @solemn raptor

[hazy veldt]

it's a +7ergo, -2% recoil grip.

Or well, I guess not for level 15.

Mlok rail barter is available at mechanic 1 tho

[solemn raptor]

no worries, hope it helps!

[bold kernel]

how much

[minor mural]

peacekeeper 2 has both the RCAS thing and the FDE MOE

[minor mural]

110k

[ancient thorn]

i also found this bad boy laying on a shelve

[ancient thorn]

ooh, really affordable

[bold kernel]

is it full auto good

[hazy veldt]

The problem with budget AKMs is still that you're shooting PS.

[minor mural]

I wouldn't trust it outside 25 m

[minor mural]

The gun has nothing to do with the ammo you shoot!!!!!

[hazy veldt]

and they kick like a mule still.

[mighty stump]

fun gun, but bolt actions are pretty hard to use in a lot of situations

[hazy veldt]

The gun determines the caliber...

[fallen island]

Is there any modding that can be done to the ks23? Besides barrel and stock

[ancient thorn]

i want to lose all this cool guns before wipe

found them at like 5 hours into the game and im 60 hours in

they are just collecting dust

[minor mural]

This one where I got criticized for using two BIS parts is stable enough that I don't mind full auto with a 1x 4x Eotech hybrid

I use it a lot, and I trust it

[mighty stump]

do it bro, great way to learn and try stuff out. tho best guess wipe is still a ways off

[hazy veldt]

Don't get me wrong, PS is one of the few ammunitions available to low level players that's not absolute garbage.

[fallen island]

If u scared to use em then sell em

Make some money to buy guns your comfortable using

[hazy veldt]

But I'd rather run an UMP with lower pen, but much less recoil.

[ancient thorn]

if i sell them i just dont know what to buy xD

[minor mural]

If we are talking gun builds except for babies first AK, they are 15 and can buy 7.62 BP

[hazy veldt]

[fallen island]

Well what stuff do u like to use?

[hazy veldt]

Buy...7.62 BP?

[ancient thorn]

most of the guns i used so far are the ones scavs drop :l

[minor mural]

I joined the wipe two weeks ago, is that one restricted?

[hazy veldt]

😄

Yes.

[ancient thorn]

ran some umps but died quickly

[minor mural]

welp. Get good at reserve then 😛

[fallen island]

Ah right

[ancient thorn]

its my first wipe so im getting used to stuff

learning a lot

[fallen island]

Id say try the mp155 they pretty nice

[hazy veldt]

7.62 BP is locked behind prapor LL3 (level 26 minimum) + Punisher Part 5.
Or 30 with workbench 3 craft.

But you can farm rogues, if you learn the path.

[fallen island]

Especially with flecette

[ancient thorn]

i think the next on will be nicer

[minor mural]

alright alright, 5.45 AK time since you can barter for BT easily

[fallen island]

Punisher 😖

[ancient thorn]

lets just say this game has a.... steep learning curve.

[hazy veldt]

This wipe, 5.45 suffered a lot from the ballistics change.

[fallen island]

Got any friends who play?

[ancient thorn]

nope

[hazy veldt]

But relatively easy availability of 60 rounders and magdumping makes them usable.

[fallen island]

I find they cant pen anything tho

[fallen island]

Damn that makes it hard

[hazy veldt]

you're probably missing shots due to recoil.

[ancient thorn]

ran a kit with a ump just to deal 640 dmg to armor and 24 to body at the end of the raid xD

[hazy veldt]

37 pen isn't amazing, but it's quite good for when it's available.

[minor mural]

Stockpile BT ammo from the Prapor Ll2 barter

[fallen island]

Im missing shots due to aim lmao

[minor mural]

not sure why that was a reply to you, sry

[mint light]

fmj lol

[ancient thorn]

yep xDD

[mighty stump]

leg meta/headshots help with the low pen ammo available when low level

[ancient thorn]

i was trading with someone kinda far, so i was just landing the shots i could

[minor mural]

That muzzle brake costs more than I remember, but 5.45 isn't super popular so normally this build is around 100k to 120k. Currently shows as 150

[ancient thorn]

but yeah, i always firget to aim at the legs

[minor mural]

but you'll save on ammo

[fallen island]

Tbh tho i ran ap and took an entire mag to kill a raider

Is it armour or what that made that happen

[minor mural]

I strongly encourage you to use bullshit ammo and learn to leg and headshot raiders. Preserve their armor for personal use

[hazy veldt]

I recommend 74/74n, since it can take uas, which is cheaper than pt-3 and better.

[gleaming stratus]

How fast is insurance?

[fallen island]

I just use ks23 or ak’s usually

Ump only sometimes

[hazy veldt]

Prapor 24-36 hours, Therapist 12-24hrs.

[open hedge]

Prapor takes more than a day therapist takes at most a day

[gleaming stratus]

Fuck

[woven fiber]

im still new ill send u my stats

how many hours u got?

[gleaming stratus]

very..

I died to my own stupidity I didnt check corners and a scav put some nice buckshot in my head

[twin cairn]

can anyone help me with chumming

?

[lyric meteor]

Why are random scavs starting attacking me even if I'm also a scav? I just spawned, my fence reputation is positive and I didn't do anything? I don't understand...?

[gleaming stratus]

Thats Scav boss

He doesnt give a fuck

To him you're just meat

[lyric meteor]

Oh, so if I shoot scav bosses it doesn't lower my reputation?

[gleaming stratus]

They dont always kill you tho

Idk

[hazy veldt]

it does.

[open hedge]

It takes off a lot of rep

[lyric meteor]

Dang alr

[hazy veldt]

Avoid him.

[gleaming stratus]

But scav boss just hates everyone I think and he might not kill you

[woven fiber]

just avoid naked men in factory

[gleaming stratus]

Does killing raiders affect scav rep

No

[gleaming stratus]

Good

Thank you

lol just take what you think you need or what you can. Quick looting comes with practice and recognizing what’s worth how much at a glance

[woven fiber]

labs cards on barter lvl 1 therapist

[gleaming stratus]

That guy was not a scav

He was a Liar

But I knew that

No scav drops a altyn man

I do feel hurt tho

[tulip pike]

struggling to decide what equipment i need as a beginner :/

[minor mural]

Generic AK and PP-19 build

[spiral bison]

im never get any tasks done at woods

[hazy veldt]

Night time is your friend.

[spiral bison]

some scav or player just comes into existance when im trying to get out

[spiral bison]

if im being honest

never going on night raids

[desert escarp]

Can't find Jaegers camp aswell?

[spiral bison]

i can

[desert escarp]

I cant

[spiral bison]

mapgenie

[desert escarp]

I use it but can never properly oriented myself that or I get killed

Or both

[spiral bison]

try and orient yourself when you spawn in

try and find some landmark to give yourself an approximate area where you spawned

once you do so i just say you beeline it for the task

[desert escarp]

I'll try that but the Chad's are not making this easy

[spiral bison]

you will get it at some point

[silent hamlet]

I have a Mk47 Resolute upper receiver, and I attached a barrel. How can I attach a pistol grip to make it usable?

[hazy veldt]

Why not? They're amazing if your goal is to just task.

[silent hamlet]

A pistol grip wont attach. Like Im missing some piece?

[desert escarp]

What gear do I need for night run and where do I get it and for how much?

[spiral bison]

no lights, and i dont like night

[woven fiber]

find the plane and just go toward the way the wing points

[earnest hull]

You’re missing the lower receiver I’m guessing. That’d be the part with the trigger and rest of the firing assembly that makes the gun go pew pew

[desert escarp]

Never knew there was a plane 😂

[whole thistle]

you need a lower receiver (the gun itself)

[silent hamlet]

Ha what... okay

[silent hamlet]

I thought the upper receiver was the gun itself

[whole thistle]

youre missing this whole piece

theres an upper and lower

[earnest hull]

Nah. Upper receiver is just there to hold the barrel and optics

[whole thistle]

the upper is just this part

[silent hamlet]

Okay. Because I was looking at my whole Mutant for reference and I couldnt tell what was missing. But the "whole" mutant is actually the lower receiver. Okay

[hazy veldt]

At the low end, there's some NVG options (N-15, PNV-10T, PVS-14), but with right postfx/nvidia control panel/monitor settings, you don't need any.

[whole thistle]

yeah, if you click disassemble it just leaves the lower receiver

[woven fiber]

just orient like this ig 😄 idk how u get lost like that

[hazy veldt]

cheapest combo is like n-15 + head strap

[silent hamlet]

So I found the upper receiver in raid and I thought I could use that to build a weapon... but you cant really do that eh?

[hazy veldt]

You can with flea or traders.

[silent hamlet]

Because its not like youre gonna find a lower receiver on the flea, right?

For a Mutant

[hazy veldt]

well... depends on gun

[desert escarp]

I'm level 2 don't have flea 😂 😂

[red jay]

If I have a bunch of an item and want to sell them on the flea, does it do the price and sell them individually, or does it give them all of the item for the price I set?

[whole thistle]

you can if you disable "Functional only"

[hazy veldt]

for mutant no, because it's flea banned.

[whole thistle]

a couple traders sell m4 and adar lowers

[whole thistle]

true

[hazy veldt]

I was replying to Kremlin.

[desert escarp]

Oh 😂

[silent hamlet]

Understood. Thanks for explaining

[hazy veldt]

at level 2, your only real option is postfx/nvidia panel/monitor settings to make night not dark.

[silent hamlet]

But you never find a lower receiver in raid, eh? Its only parts or the whole gun?

[desert escarp]

I'll try that

[hazy veldt]

Well, alternatively you can run flashlight, but that can be a bit rough.

[woven fiber]

reshade

[hazy veldt]

especially if it's your first wipe and you don't know maps.

[woven fiber]

basically same as alt f3 nvidia filters

[hazy veldt]

iirc reshade is banned for tarkov.

[woven fiber]

fr?

[hazy veldt]

yes

[desert escarp]

Yeah it is first wipe it's been rough to say lest

[woven fiber]

i got hooked after my first extract

[desert escarp]

But my scavs loot has been keeping me geared

[woven fiber]

failed 5 raids then the first exctract was with a gpu 😄

[gleaming stratus]

I've been violated by a raider on a chair

No joke he jumped out of the water onto a chair and killed me

I feel dirty

[red jay]

I'm pretty sure it's an easy question for someone that knows the flea market but I've never used it. If i select 10 sugars and want like 70k each, does it do that automatically when I select hem all or does it sell them as a bunch for 10k?

[gleaming stratus]

Idk how he got up their but he did

[desert escarp]

Failed a lot manged to extract on factory after a pistol run killing a player scav

[woven fiber]

select them all manually then set price/item

[earnest hull]

It will only sell them as a group if you select the box that says so. Otherwise they’re individually sold for your listed price

[gleaming stratus]

I've never felt so much like a victim untill the raider on a chair got me

Idk how he got me I assume BP cuz I had a Ulach

[earnest hull]

So as long as you don’t check that box, each one will be sold for 70k

[gleaming stratus]

And he just 1 tapped me but god

Definitely scared me seeing a raider on a fucking chair towering over me

[red jay]

so I selected them all but there's a box for "require for all items in offer" What does that do? it seems like that makes the price for the bundle and by default it's individually then correcct?

[woven fiber]

.

[red jay]

you already answered it lol. thank you very much for your help

[earnest hull]

Don’t select that box lol

[hazy veldt]

it depends, if you're selling as a pack of 10, then you need to put 700k

if you're selling invidivually then 70k

f.ex.

the difference is that with the first listing, the buyer has to buy all the items (in this case 40k for 2 bundle of wires), while in the 2nd, they can buy 1 item at a time (in this case 20k for 1 bundle of wires)

the main reason to use the 'require for all items in offer' is because people can pay extra for 'package' deals.
f.ex. I often sell vodka at 35-45k per bottle, by bundling them up as a package of 50 vodka, because that is how many you need for thicc items case barter.

[sleek briar]

Raider of the lake what is your wisdom

[gleaming stratus]

Extract campers are gay

I just died to one

I just wanna let all extract campers know you're probably not loved at home

I also lost all my BP ammo

[bold kernel]

w silicone tube

[earnest hull]

I carry grenades solely to clear common camper spots before going around a corner

[open hedge]

I carry grenades for long range tosses

I suck at close range nades

But I’m really good at throwing them 30m+ and hitting every time

[earnest hull]

Nice lol. I need to practice longer throws. Most of mine are simply to get a guy out of his position so I can shoot him

[minor mural]

Grenades are also really nice for confirming if your target is a bot or not

bots always emote

[earnest hull]

Also useful for knowing if cultists are around. They shoot the sky if you flash bang em

[chrome ferry]

Is the extortionist quest easy enough? Need to get 1 item and extract, doesn’t seem hard

[delicate inlet]

Ok long time no Tarkov. Did inertia help with peeker's advantage at all? I don't quite recall thinking it did early wipe before I stopped a few months ago

[high niche]

its easy if you can survive

[chrome ferry]

50k from mechanic for this, will i sell or do i need it for a quest

[coarse axle]

Sell to the therapist

[devout radish]

should i sell my fuel? i have quite a lot

[coarse axle]

If ur gunna use it then save, if not sell on flea

[devout radish]

use for what?

and im lvl 6 cant use flea

[high niche]

then keep if you have space

[coarse axle]

^^

[devout radish]

its basically draining the space in my stash

[high niche]

then just sell or use for crafts in lavatory

[coarse axle]

If you can save and run your generator and workbench you can craft better ammo

That’s prob as far as you’ll get this wipe

[gleaming stratus]

Yeah wipe I think is like a month or 2 out

[minor mural]

You can craft Jerry cans into Flechette and Blue cans into magazine boxes, and a 0 fuel can works too

[devout radish]

my scav rep is horrendous my god

i spawned with a god awful pistol

if i didnt i wouldve had a free kill

[high niche]

scav loadouts are random

[devout radish]

yeah but better loot from higher rep

[minor mural]

My first scav raid of the "no traders" event had a Ledx 🙃

[zinc robin]

no not better gear but u spawn with better items like labs cards

[devout radish]

one of my scavs spawned with a labs card

[high niche]

yeah I get that often

[gleaming stratus]

i currently have 10k rubles

[zinc robin]

skill isssue

[gleaming stratus]

i really want wipe to happen

[earnest hull]

Think the rep only really affects the quality of your weapons. Not the weapon you spawn in with in general

[zinc robin]

why u want wipe

[earnest hull]

Best thing for higher rep is the faster turn around time on the scav box

[high niche]

early wipe is best time

[minor mural]

new bros dying to chads "wipe when"
new bros after the wipe "help I can't reach the gold pocket watch, I keep getting shot"

it's not a wipe issue

[zinc robin]

early wipe pvp is ass

[lyric meteor]

is it normal that I spawned with this as a scav? AKA is it good?

[minor mural]

it's a meme

[zinc robin]

no

[minor mural]

it's a sport shooting rifle for civilians

[lyric meteor]

oh

[minor mural]

"rifle" it fires 9x19

[lyric meteor]

It looked super high-tech haha

[minor mural]

it's fun to use. It has zero recoil. But it's an expensive glock

[earnest hull]

Fun to beam. Just takes a lot of beaming to kill something lol

[gleaming stratus]

I just wanted to fight raiders but EVERYTIME I ACTIVATE THE D2 SWITCH THEY DONT SPAWN

Then I get stuck with like 8 thicc boys pushing me

[brittle path]

no Nakita lied the ai is not fixed they still kill scavs on sight

niceeeeeeeeeeeee

3 scav karma dont mean shit

[devout radish]

my scav karma is -1.1

[shut parrot]

LLLLL

BAD SCAV

SCAV ON SCAVER

[unkempt hawk]

is that a good kit

the one he had on

[devout radish]

its actually insane how often im dying in factory

i keep dying within 30 seconds of getting in aswell

its all by rich ass high lvl people\

[minor mural]

I can't see the armor, but it looks like a guy trying to bust a Zabralo for Ragman

that's a very common factory build

[unkempt hawk]

i keep buying shotguns

i wont stop

until i get a chad kit

[tulip gate]

run flechette

[devout radish]

ive gotten 2 chad kits

[unkempt hawk]

doing that?

[devout radish]

and they were not from using a shotgu

n

[unkempt hawk]

i killed a chatd kit earlier

[devout radish]

i actually flicked a scav with a pistol 1tap

got an ak

[unkempt hawk]

in factory exit 3

and then 30 scavs rushed in

somehow lol

[devout radish]

1tapped some random who had akriss vector on factory

some other was with an adar

1tapped some guy who had an rfb from behind

[unkempt hawk]

sheeeeeeesh

what gun didi you use

w5 we should play somedayu

[devout radish]

adar and a glock

im not great

[unkempt hawk]

bruh

[devout radish]

im like lvl 6

[unkempt hawk]

me neither

im level like 11

first wipe

anyone wanna vc and watch me grub factory with a shotty

[devout radish]

i only have 670k rubles and im throwing them away on factory

[unkempt hawk]

SAME AHAHAHA

[devout radish]

just loaded in factory with an ak lmao

[unkempt hawk]

im spending so much on these shit shotty kits

[devout radish]

i have a ton of ak type weapons so im just using them basically

[unkempt hawk]

im at 2.3

bet

not a bad idea

i should try that

[devout radish]

look at this shit, no armor, backpack, rig, nothing

[unkempt hawk]

BRO

WTF

can i call you

so u can see my screen share

and watch these clips LMAO

[devout radish]

im in a call rn

[unkempt hawk]

what should i use for adar

that included

[zinc robin]

55a1 or m995 r best

but if not 556 is better then 55

[unkempt hawk]

look at the pictures

out of all

out of the ones that ican buy

[zinc robin]

m856 ur best

but its still prettyt bad

[chrome ferry]

where do i find the smaller wd40? only found the big ones

[spiral bison]

the most boof ass kit you have ever seen

[unkempt hawk]

@devout radish lmk if u get a chad kit with the ak type guns

[woven fiber]

lvl 2 scav

[minor mural]

You can craft the smaller ones in the hideout

[high niche]

tool boxes, technical supply crates or craft in workbench with metal scissors and a large one

[hazy veldt]

wow, using a 25k facemask, must be living large :p

[zinc robin]

ong

[spiral bison]

got it off a scav

balling

[minor mural]

look at this guy, simping for a streamer /s

[brittle path]

if only punisher 6 still allowed factory

[zinc robin]

pretty sure it never did last wipe

[mint light]

why u lie to him

[zinc robin]

556 is better then m855

[mint light]

m855 is the best u can get at a low level

[zinc robin]

i mean pen wise its better

[mint light]

it isnt and a simple google search will tell u otherwise

same reason why 55a1 is better than 56a1

big number dosent mean better

[zinc robin]

deadass i stg early in wipe i remeebr 56 being better ngl

[minor mural]

yeah 28 has a reasonable chance of busting class 3, but 23 won't. If Nikita supported weaving our mags every couple bullets you might see people mix in tracers

[zinc robin]

why doesnt .300 m62 go in my sr25

[hazy veldt]

Safety.

[zinc robin]

k thsmlksd

[devout radish]

is it okay to lose a shit ton of loot in this game

[zinc robin]

no

means ur bad

[devout radish]

im lvl 6 and have played for like 10 hours

no shit

[hazy veldt]

well, in reality, it's because it'd be too small for sr25

[minor mural]

Booooo

[zinc robin]

bro nle songs r so fire

[minor mural]

Most people will have survival rates in the 30 - 50% range unless they have unusual playstyles or map preferences. It is normal

[devout radish]

i have a very unusual playstyle

its called i bumrush factory until my luck is good enough i can rat a loaded pmc

[zinc robin]

i have a 100% sr

[minor mural]

then yes you're going to die constantly, lol

[zinc robin]

ratting isnt good

[hazy veldt]

irl, you can shoot .300 blackout through a 556 gun, but it's a really bad idea, since you can do it once in many cases.

[zinc robin]

is that why apm doesnt go in a mutant

[minor mural]

Same reason why we can't fire 9x18 PMM in a KEDR. In game it goes click. In real life it explodes

[minor mural]

.366 APM? .366 isn't a rifle round

[zinc robin]

i thought it was ik apm isnt real tho

[minor mural]

.366 is legally a smoothbore shotgun

[zinc robin]

u know its shit when they gotta makeup a bullet

[hazy veldt]

.366 is actually a lot longer than 7.62x39

[minor mural]

and the rifle is a drilled out 7.62

[hazy veldt]

.366 TKM is like 9.55x39 or something

(theoretically you could probably chamber load it, maybe?)

[zinc robin]

idk anything about blulets

that could make sense cus i put a mag of apm in a mutant and in the chamber and it shoots 1 then says malfunction

[minor mural]

rifle -- bullet spins. Smoothbore -- bullet rattles like an old timey musket

A .366 "rifle" is actually a shotgun

[hazy veldt]

eee, no, you probably just had a normal round in the chamber

[hazy veldt]

That's largely just a legal term to get around russian rifle ban 😄

[minor mural]

It's complicated

the barrel is smooth until the very end of it, at which point the bullet is forced into the threads and it sorta kinda spins

its not quite a slug, but it definitely isn't a rifle

But yes it's a very Russian thing

[spiral bison]

i finally hauled

i got jaeger now

my haul

[ruby ermine]

night raids are usually less populated right?

[spiral bison]

i guess

[zinc robin]

depends what map

[minor mural]

Certianly are less populated for player scavs

[minor mural]

Christ you're using a 60 round of PS in a scav gun. lol

save that magazine, you need it for Gunsmith Part 2

[zinc robin]

doesnt matter its not fir

[ruby ermine]

atleast if i die with my nvgs they’re not expensive to buy again

[minor mural]

You and your bad takes. FIR doesn't matter for gunsmith

Part 2 is an AKS-74U, 60 rounder, laser, and the Zenit B11 thing

[zinc robin]

thought u meant ice cream my b @ruby ermine what nvgs u using

[ruby ermine]

PNV-10T

[zinc robin]

can u not buy quads?

[minor mural]

Factory mains, is it possible to get a 50m scav kill?

[spiral bison]

im just too good

[ruby ermine]

no

[zinc robin]

thats tuff

[ruby ermine]

where do you get those from

[zinc robin]

i think u can buy them for barters at pk 3 and pk 4 u can buy them for dollars

[ruby ermine]

ah i’m only at pk2 rn

[zinc robin]

tuff

[wet solar]

for the dcpsm, is the top of the triangle, or the middle of the triangle, what i should be aiming with?

[dawn geyser]

The middle IIRC

[earnest hull]

I’d have to see the reticle since I can’t remember that one

[wet solar]

are u sure?

[earnest hull]

I remember reading you had to aim with the middle on a Reddit somewhere. But that post was a couple years old and no idea if they updated it

[dawn geyser]

Decently

[earnest hull]

Just aim for the chin. It’ll be a win either way lol

[wet solar]

kk, so the middle, thx

[whole thistle]

average silicon tube traders

(THIS IS TARKOV ADJACENT!! NOT A MEME!!)

[wet solar]

also as you see, i have the problem where my screen is muchj darker than other people's, and i have my brightness to max, how can i fix? its an ingame issue

like they can see things i cant, sometimes its completely pitch black when looking into some dark rooms like bunker main

[hazy veldt]

increase brightness and/or gamma in nvidia panel / postfx / monitor.

[earnest hull]

You can google tarkov display settings and you’ll find a site slee of articles and videos that will walk you through various settings to start getting you in the ballpark of something that works for you

[spiral bison]

immediately got dunked on trying to do my task in factory

the boof ass kit is no more

[hazy veldt]

it's not only an ingame issue though.

like that image isn't very dark at all for me.

[wet solar]

its only in this game

[whole thistle]

wtf 😱

[wet solar]

and my nvidia settings are on default

[hazy veldt]

Yes, tarkov is dark and depressing at default.

[whole thistle]

best color palette

[wet solar]

no but i compare what i see in my game to what other people stream tarkov, mine is incredibly worse

[hazy veldt]

use postfx and/or nvidia panel+monitor

[wet solar]

and they point it out

[hazy veldt]

...

[spiral bison]

are you telling me i have to make the trip to customs again

[wet solar]

post fx has brightness at 100%

[whole thistle]

customs is sigma asf

[spiral bison]

get that documents folder again

[whole thistle]

delivery from my ass

[spiral bison]

[nova saffron]

anyone have an rbst key and wanna help me with a peacekeeper task?

[spiral bison]

delivery from my nutsack

(pregnancy)

[hazy veldt]

depending on how their streaming setup is, it may be capturing post-nvidia panel visuals.

[wet solar]

discord screenshare

[hazy veldt]

or they have different colour palettes

post your postfx

[wet solar]

pretty sure its some ingame bug

[hazy veldt]

Doubtful.

[wet solar]

it didnt use to be like this, and my postfx settings are the most optimized

[hazy veldt]

That screenshot you posted looks like what my game looks without nvidia panel changes.

You can try clearing cache I guess.

Or reinstalling.

[wet solar]

i might try a reinstall, but i dont wanna change my overall monitor/nvidia settings i tuned long ago to have as accurate colors as possible just for tarkov

[hazy veldt]

I mean, you just increase gamma slider.

like 5 seconds to change back after you're done.

[wet solar]

i tried changing brightness, color, and gamma thru nvidia, didnt change anything at all for me in game

its 100% an in game thing

[hazy veldt]

That...doesn't sound right.

Any changes in nvidia panel, should be visible both in desktop and in-game.

Are you playing fullscreen or fullscreen borderless mode?

[wet solar]

i mean, they did affect the game, but the tuning applies to everything, so it doesnt actually make it better visually, whites become whiter, and the pitch black corners turn gray or stay pitch black

.etc

it doesnt help

[hazy veldt]

Works for me, not sure what to say.

[mint light]

trap shit

[austere hound]

Uhhhhh. Do raiders kill ai scavs now??

[hazy veldt]

raining

[mint light]

raining ice

[mint light]

why would we be above ground

[austere hound]

Like I s2g a raider just clapped an ai scav right in front of me. It might've been a player, but he had no loot on him & was walking like an ai lol

[mint light]

bot

literal AI

[open hedge]

If only these were still worth something

[mint light]

do i ping mod?

[open hedge]

@river rampart

[open hedge]

its a spam bot thats pretty common these days

[hazy veldt]

literally 90k per slot.

[open hedge]

not bad but not good for a gpu

[ruby ermine]

is the vector good

[nocturne lintel]

wow im really gonna die in this raid because meds arent working

cool game

[lucid goblet]

Wym meds arnt working

[river rampart]

thanks

[nocturne lintel]

it pulls out the med then puts it awway

[hazy veldt]

there's a rare bug that can happen

[nocturne lintel]

salewa gstar propitol afak ifak and esmarch

[lucid goblet]

Brutal

[nocturne lintel]

like literally nothing i can do

[lucid goblet]

Ur not pressing right click I’m assuming. I wonder if any binds are messed up. Could be a bug like the guy said I’m just unfamiliar with it.

Could try disconnecting and then reconnecting

[nocturne lintel]

its playing the start of the animation and then thats it

nah im already dead

3 heavy bleeds

with no ability to do shit about it

i tried dragging onto part, hotkeying, right click using

all of them did it

[hazy veldt]

It's a fairly rare bug, so hopefully you won't see it again for a while.

[rain wing]

wait is vs combo or the other one better?

I forgot

[wet solar]

troy is better

[rain wing]

fuck was it called

oh yeah

troy

aight

[hazy veldt]

[open hedge]

shoreline moment

[hazy veldt]

Canted

also if you run b-25u on a meta akmn, troy has 48 recoil, vs combo has 49.

[bold kernel]

my face when 1 recoil reducted 😲

[hazy veldt]

if you prefer ergo, sure.

Most people don't.

No thanks.

Not when I have 47 already.

[earnest hull]

4 ergo for 1 point of recoil isn’t worth. To each their own but I’d take the ergo on this one

[hazy veldt]

difference between 47 and 51 ergo is tiny.

Might not even exist, depending on frame timing.

[minor mural]

Its also lighter. Weight of the weapon counts as ergo

[earnest hull]

Difference of 1 recoil is smaller

[hazy veldt]

Big if true.

If you're sweating 933 rubles...

[earnest hull]

Like I said, to each their own but I’d take the ergo over half a percent off the base recoil

[hazy veldt]

Why though? Do you feel the difference between 47 and 51 ergo?

[minor mural]

Do you feel the difference between 56 and 55 recoil?

[hazy veldt]

No, that's why I am asking if they feel a difference with ergo.

[earnest hull]

I definitely don’t feel the difference between 48 and 49 recoil. Lighter weight and if I need to hold an angle for whatever reason ergo will help more with that

[minor mural]

4 ergo and -0.25 kg is actually a lot for arm stamina

And eye relief on an optic

You're being smug while defending a rounding error of recoil...

[hazy veldt]

Tron is on your side.

[minor mural]

Sorry thought it was sarcasm

It'd actually 0.18

Yes

Folks, if you didn't know the weight of gun also acts as ergo in much the same way your armor diminishes it

NHL playoffs are on, im only half paying attention

[hazy veldt]

Any video evidence of this?

[dawn geyser]

Hockey I think

[minor mural]

it is super easy to test yourself in the hideout shooting range

[dawn geyser]

Sub districts?

[minor mural]

4 ergo and 0.2 kg is going to give you a few extra seconds ADS before the gun starts wobbling and you're forced to make a sound

[dawn geyser]

Oh shoot

Official, that's tight

Oh you don't have to move up the ladder? Can hop?

[earnest hull]

Ergo affects ads speed, ads loudness, and arm stamina drain

[minor mural]

Easiest way to test is to swap out the wood furniture for polymer and mess around with the different foregrips

It's one reason why the stubby grips are trash

[dawn geyser]

Oooo

Show em who's boss

[hazy veldt]

I don't really play slow enough for hand stamina to matter.

[earnest hull]

Hence why I say to each their own. Everyone has their preferred play style

[minor mural]

Yeah just my style. Loud headsets, hear them first, get the the first shot. I'm 35 and I'm shit at apex and "twitch"

[earnest hull]

Mid 30s gang

I also prefer sniping in apex lol

[dire estuary]

Theres a only a certain number of times you can heal a body part?

[crisp nest]

no

[earnest hull]

From a blackout?

[dire estuary]

my arm was heavy bleeding blacked and it wouldnt let me stop the heavy bleeding

[earnest hull]

Did you have something to stop the heavy bleed?

[dire estuary]

yea

[earnest hull]

What was it

[dire estuary]

salewa

[earnest hull]

Salewas need 175 points on them to stop a heavy bleed

[dire estuary]

oh

makes sense

thanks

[earnest hull]

Light bleeds take 45 points

No problem

[spiral bison]

what does special equipment mean anyway?

does it mean you cant lose it when you die?

[earnest hull]

You can

They’re just meant for quests and have no other real use except some crafting

[spiral bison]

oh

[feral hedge]

yo guys im having an issue with the game crashing all of a sudden, any ideas? ive re-installed the game, updated graphics drivers, updated windows. and nothing has helped

a unity window pops up with a loading bar then the game closes

[dawn geyser]

What are your specs?

Oh, Unity crash

On your launcher, clear your cache, then run an integrity check. After that, on your Nvidia control panel ; hit 3D settings, go to your power management mode and change it to prefer "maximum performance" then hit save.
https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/163201-unity-crash-fix/

[feral hedge]

gen-1 ryzen 7, gtx 1070, and 16 gb 3200 ram

[dawn geyser]

Ok

After you do what I said

Windows + R
Open your run page and type in 'control sysdm.cpl'
Go to the advanced tab, under perfomance hit settings
Advanced again, and change the paging file size
Select an SSD drive
Untick automatically manage paging file size for all drives
Use 8000-16000 minimum and 25000 maximum
Once you’ve entered your size of virtual memory, click Set, then click OK to apply the changes.

[feral hedge]

no over clocks that im aware of

[dawn geyser]

Not overclocks

[feral hedge]

other than the ram being put up to its rated boost clock

[dawn geyser]

On your Nvidia control panel

hit 3D settings, go to your power management mode and change it to prefer "maximum performance" then hit save.

[bold kernel]

why is this happening

[dawn geyser]

You've just rerolled an operation task

Rerolling operational tasks - reputation

It's probably at like .4999 reputation and shows up as .50

[bold kernel]

i didnt reroll anything i just did bunker part 2

[dawn geyser]

Oh

Give your game a reset then

[bold kernel]

i did

so one more quest maybe?

[dawn geyser]

Then you will have to get just a tad more experience

Yeah.

Reputation

Sorry

Not experience.

[feral hedge]

Already have it on prefer max performance

[earnest hull]

Ya. I’m at the same. But jaegers quest are trash and I hate all of them lol

[dawn geyser]

Ok - give the pagefile size a shot

[feral hedge]

Not following

What do you mean by that?

[dawn geyser]

Windows + R
Open your run page and type in 'control sysdm.cpl'
Go to the advanced tab, under perfomance hit settings
Advanced again, and change the paging file size
Select an SSD drive
Untick automatically manage paging file size for all drives
Use 8000-16000 minimum and 25000 maximum
Once you’ve entered your size of virtual memory, click Set, then click OK to apply the changes.

[woven fiber]

idk if it was connected but i used multiple ssds on multiple pcs , i changed paging files on 1 and that ssd got corrupted 😄

began spitting bsod

[dawn geyser]

Oh I don't think you want pagefile on multiple IIRC

[woven fiber]

still not worth it

just buy a new ram stick 😄

[dawn geyser]

xD it's free extra ram!

[woven fiber]

but its so shit 😄

[dawn geyser]

More physical ram is definitely better

[feral hedge]

i havent used my pc in a minute and i think last time i did, i fucked with the ram speed because it wasnt set to the boost clocks that it was supposed to. i may need to bring it back down to default shit speed

okay still didnt help

when it crashes this window pops up

[dawn geyser]

Oh so you did change the settings

[feral hedge]

back a while ago, but it was working fine

[dawn geyser]

I would head over to #community-support and look for Sessamy

Head 5head at this stuff

[pseudo pond]

Is there a examine hotkey lol I forget all controls after not playing for a year and half

[dawn geyser]

Middle mouse button homie

[feral hedge]

awesome thanks

need a 5head for sure

[icy frost]

i'm getting a little pissed off honestly. the last 3 days ive done scav runs to woods, i've been killed by A.I. scavs as soon as i walk into the sawmill. I don't shoot other scavs, and my karma is positive. this doesn't happen on scav runs to any of the other maps, and even on scav runs to woods, A.I. scavs won't shoot at me until i walk into the mill. what the fuck is this?

[zinc canopy]

Are you sure they weren’t boss guards or rogues?

[dawn geyser]

What map was this?

Oh sorry

[zinc canopy]

[icy frost]

they're screaming russian everytime so they're not rogues

[dawn geyser]

Woods

It has to be guards/shturman if it's sawmill

[icy frost]

and there's no chance they're boss guards, cause they're always normal looking scavs with their bright colors

[dawn geyser]

Do you happen to have any of it recorded?

[icy frost]

i'll record my next woods scav as soon as i walk into the mill but no not right now

[ancient thorn]

i had the same issue, boos guards tho

try and kill one and see the kill record

[zinc canopy]

I mean if you die to them they don’t share names with normal scavs

That way you can keep your karma

[icy frost]

they look like normal names to me, random ass words i can't pronounce and it's always two names

as far as i know rogues are one word code names and boss guards are short names

[ancient thorn]

does it say GUARD tho ?

[icy frost]

it doesn't tell you if you die to them

[zinc canopy]

That only shows if you kill them

[ancient thorn]

oh, my solution is more problematic

kill one of them

[left estuary]

yo ive been getting this on reserve, i get killed by dudes with no last name screaming russian

[zinc canopy]

And killing them would tank your karma so just die to one and check the wiki to the list of names

[icy frost]

like i said i'll record the next one

[zinc canopy]

If the last name is Svetloozerskiy it’s a guard

[zinc canopy]

[icy frost]

i haven't seen that once

i went shturman hunting a week ago and i saw that a ton, but not once during a scav run

[left estuary]

one of the names was Xb-18 or sum like that

[minor mural]

Bear raider. Thr voice lines are different

Rashala and Sthurmann guards have the same last name. Not sure about Glucose or Sanitar, I've never personally killed them

[icy frost]

if that's the case there's no way the ones killing me are guards, they've always had random names

[left estuary]

for the first week i didn't see any raiders go up onto the helicopter area and now i do, is it coincidence or an event

[minor mural]

Raiders shoot scavs

[minor mural]

Could be Glukhar

[dry belfry]

What do you mean by "on to the helicopter area"

Sorry, wrong comment

If he cares enough, he'll see it anyway

Which one should I chose? One got is class 4, but has 36.7 durability, and the other one is class 3, but has 60 durability

[dusky geyser]

they’re both not very good but if you have to - i’d say class 3

[lyric meteor]

Alright

Also, should I sell this bag for 36K to fence or bring it in raid?

[dusky geyser]

the effective dura is higher and the penetration chance is about the same

[lyric meteor]

Okay thank you

[dry belfry]

Sell and buy 3 MBSS from Ragman

[lyric meteor]

Okay thanks

[dry belfry]

What does Ragman give you?

[lyric meteor]

He would buy it for ~10K, the MBSS are ~9K each

[minor mural]

That's. ... not how armor works. @lyric meteor

[dry belfry]

Wow, fence giving good prices still

[lyric meteor]

Yeah lmao

uh he just changed it to 6k...

[dusky geyser]

the t4 armor is 36/47hp

[minor mural]

Is that class 4 max 37 when it is brand new?

[dusky geyser]

and it’s ceramic

[lyric meteor]

No, repaired it cause I got lasered by a sneaky man and luckily survived

[dusky geyser]

if it was full the t4 would’ve been better

but it isn’t

[minor mural]

Still stops a 7.62 PS round the majority of the time

But... You're dead in the 3

[lyric meteor]

Hm alr

Gonna bring the T3 then

[lyric meteor]

Also, is it a good/rare bag?

[dusky geyser]

nah

[minor mural]

That's not what the chart shows. Run the 4 and break it the rest of the wau

[dry belfry]

At this point, it's splitting hairs

Most folks are running ammo to pen those both

[minor mural]

No, this is all really bad mechanics advice

Run the 4

[dry belfry]

Well sure, but he's new and it's just jargon he doesn't understand

Just wear them, raid, and have fun

Folks running ammo to pen the shit out of them anyway

[dusky geyser]

is it though? how much armor damage does a single PS bullet do?

esp on ceramic

[lyric meteor]

Well I looked a shit ton of videos about armour classes, bullet types, calibres and pen

I'm just asking which one could block the most common calibre shots before dying

[minor mural]

You run the better armor, always. You don't worry if "everyone can break both", you worry about what it can stop.

He's new, so I'm assuming scavs still land hits on him

And 4 will stop almost everything from a scav

[lyric meteor]

I "always" die from players, I'm not new to shooter games

[minor mural]

DM me if you want

I'll explain the system

[lyric meteor]

It's fine, I'll run the class 4, then when I'll die the class 3

[dusky geyser]

always… eh

[minor mural]

It's beginner chat, I'm not going to answer with three footnotes lol

[dusky geyser]

in this case i would say it’s better to tank multiple shots from things like 5.45 PS and buckshot than like two 7.62 PS rounds

[dawn geyser]

Level 4 is minimum for PVP.

5+ is for when you're getting serious

[bold kernel]

Level 4 should be the minimum for all content

[wet solar]

all good players run bp/55a1/m62, so even lvl 4 isnt gonna do anything vs that tbh

[lyric meteor]

Yeah well I just don't really know what to do, because I know the lower the durability is the more shots will pen, and it's at 36.7

[minor mural]

I've never bought this argument. In any given raid you'll find plenty of player scavs and PMCs shooting bullshit

[lyric meteor]

I'm mostly doing factory tho

[wet solar]

yes, but i encounter them much less, or theyre just easier to fight, regardless, lvl 4 is much cheaper than 5, so i run it often anyways

[minor mural]

Rule of thumb, 60% of a class 4 is equal to 100% of a class 3.

You're at 75%

[bold kernel]

Durability doesn’t need to be complicated, run it until it’s at 75% and get rid of it. You can keep it longer if you’re broke but it loses effectiveness

Oh kegh just said that lolol

[dry belfry]

This is helpful. ty

[minor mural]

Class is fair more important than destructibility. That's more for comparing within a class

[lyric meteor]

Ah alright I get it now

Also, one last thing
Is the PACA worth it or a waste or money? Same for the green helmet that prapor sells?

[minor mural]

PACA is fine if you're farming scavs. It will stop a lot of crap.

Class 3 helmets are only for ricochet. Avoid the Ssh, the penalties are severe.

Headset >> helmet

[bold kernel]

Would you spend money on a PACA?

It’s not worth buying a PACA imo

[minor mural]

If I had nothing else, I would. A single shotgun scav not killing you with a full bag is worth it

[lyric meteor]

I mean, I'm trying to farm savs but always get spotted by that goddamn blue laser and then you know what's coming next
Getting spam-killed by level 50s with tier 1000 armor and shit

[minor mural]

When you're done with them you can craft them into Aramid for Textiles Part #

[lyric meteor]

Sorry ragman, not prapor

[bold kernel]

If you’re playing factory, expect a fight every raid

[minor mural]

IMO you should never wear that helmet

[lyric meteor]

oh thought it was pretty good

[minor mural]

The ergo penalty is huge and the color sucks

Inspect it, then inspect the ratnik

[lyric meteor]

Then what helmet and armor do you recommend for a lvl 8 semi-broke person?

[minor mural]

Ratnik or nothing. Always headset

[bold kernel]

New players like to use it because it can ricochet but it isn’t worth it - I usually don’t run a helmet until I unlock ULACHs from ragman
