[frail pewter]

for a quest

I stock up on crafting items when they are cheaper on the market, as well as store crafted items to sell in bulk for cheaper flea market fee and more flea market rep

[spiral mulch]

Aye I see I see, yeah I've made do with a single junk box, but it's getting crazy with all the rigs to fit the overflow. I'm using a standard account stash too

[frail pewter]

and its also worth holding onto like 3 of every type of crafting/barter item FIR, because of daily tasks

yeah I have a standard account

but I would focus more on collecting hideout and task items in the junkbox

[ornate owl]

is this worth repairing

[spiral mulch]

Honestly no, about half of the original durability (60) is gone, meaning even if you preserve most of the remaining durability, it would be more equivalent to level 2 armor

From the EFT Fandom wiki, btw

[dry belfry]

She's hurtin'

[ornate owl]

yea i found it on a dead guy

im assuming he died

[dry belfry]

Well

When you find a dead guy, it's a safe assumption that he died

[brittle canyon]

what if he simply decided to identify himself as dead

[dry belfry]

Anything is possible

[hazy veldt]

I have 8, so...

[bold kernel]

😂😂

2 seems to be a really nice amount. One for crafting items, stuff to be sold or bartered and one to store quest items

[brittle canyon]

if you’re serious about dailies or stocking up on stuff to sell even 3 isn’t excessive

[plain elbow]

I mean wipe is near

not much of a need to stack up on shit

[brittle canyon]

could start doing that next wipe

[urban basalt]

anyone wanna play a few rounds im new

[brittle canyon]

#pvp-lfg

[unkempt hawk]

is there any way to un bind emergency reload

bcus i lose like3 mags a game

in fights

i subconsiously

do it

[brittle canyon]

in keybinds

just remove it

I have it to shift r

an advantage is that the game doesn’t need to watch if you’d press r second time anymore so you start reloading faster

[high niche]

I feel like I'd press shift r more often then double tapping r

[brittle canyon]

nah just spam r when I want reload

[coarse shadow]

anybody wanna help me do some quests, its my first wipe and im level 28

[brittle canyon]

shift r is a conscious effort

[unkempt hawk]

i do it in fights

from fortntie lmao

i spam r\

there isnt a way to remove it

[whole thistle]

Yes

[whole thistle]

There is

[unkempt hawk]

how?

i didnt find a way

i just put it to '

but its still happening

[whole thistle]

To unbind something you have to set it to the same bind as something else

So bind it to press r instead of double tap r

Then change normal reload back to r

I did the same thing with extract list vs timer

[unkempt hawk]

there we go

thx

alot

[minor mural]

I actually put emergency reload on R and reload on R+R

Once you learn it, you get so many kills that way when you and the enemy both run out

[whole thistle]

That's just gonna make your emergency reload slow

[minor mural]

I know why, but I like it that way because I actually do it

[whole thistle]

With the double tap delays both reloads are pretty much the same speed if they're both on r

[minor mural]

You can lower the delay

[whole thistle]

Or you can remove the delay

By just unbinding doubly tap

Ezpz

[minor mural]

I'll try the shift R for regular reload

[brittle path]

yo fun fact gluhars guard shoot backwards crazy

wish i clipped that

[dry belfry]

Sometimes they're cracked

Sometimes they're trash

You just never know what you're gonna get

[minor mural]

My favorite was running up to second floor black pawn and just falling over dead in the stairwell before the bodyguard could finish Vanum Cyka

[silent sonnet]

when is wipe?

[brittle canyon]

thursday

[dry belfry]

[dry belfry]

No one knows yet

[silent sonnet]

thank you

me and my friends are new and keep getting shit on by these crazy ass guns

[dry belfry]

Yeah I mean

That won't really change just because it wipes

The guy who have good guns will still be good

I'd use this time to just get familiar with the maps

[silent sonnet]

well yeah

[rain wing]

fuck this quest!

[dry belfry]

Customs specifically if you want to get a leg up

[rain wing]

scav vest will make me kms

[silent sonnet]

what is so good about customs?

[rain wing]

then I have to run around in woods

[rain wing]

good pvp

decent loot

[dry belfry]

Well, a lot of things but it's important because there are a lot of early quests on it

[silent sonnet]

ah alr

[dry belfry]

So when it wipes, you'll be prepared for the early quests

[rain wing]

fucks sake then after this I gotta run over to lighthouse

[dry belfry]

For what

[rain wing]

fucking peacekeepers quest

[dry belfry]

Because it's a cesspool right now

[rain wing]

yeah I know

[dry belfry]

What do you have to do?

[rain wing]

I just want ll4 😩

I literally cannot be bothered to do peacekeeping mission

fuck me

god I'm going to kms

[ornate owl]

how much should i sell this for on flea

[dry belfry]

You don't have to extract though?

[rain wing]

you can't sell it on flea

armored rigs no flea

[rain wing]

wait

[ornate owl]

yes you can?

[rain wing]

WAIT I DON'T

[dry belfry]

No one is paying attention to anything on LH besides Hillside rn

[rain wing]

bet

wait

[ornate owl]

bruh

[dry belfry]

Yo greg

[rain wing]

since when were you blue

[ornate owl]

yea?

[dry belfry]

Idk someone gave me Operator yesterday

[rain wing]

[ornate owl]

[dry belfry]

https://tarkov-market.com/item/ANA_Tactical_M1_armored_rig

See fee calculator on right side

[rain wing]

time to die on shoreline

[ornate owl]

oh shi

thats helpful

[rain wing]

I mean I literally need the pvp

[ornate owl]

thanks

[rain wing]

for mr prapor

[dry belfry]

Np

[rain wing]

10 pmcs wearing scav vest 😭

[dry belfry]

Meh I mean there are harder maps to do that on

You could just snipe on Shoreline

[rain wing]

true but idk where to go to snipe

[dry belfry]

There's the obvious extract camping spots

But

[rain wing]

and I don't want to run over to resort then get buttfucked

cause yk

I have a sniper

[dry belfry]

Also any vantage point near the pump station usually gets you a few kills

[rain wing]

and I'm not lvndmark

[ornate owl]

just bring two guns

[rain wing]

the power station?

[dry belfry]

Yeah, whatever kind of station it is

[ornate owl]

or bring one gun and two optics

[rain wing]

so I just watch resort?

like a little rat

[dry belfry]

I'd watch Power Station

Because people either run through

Or snipe there too

I mean, the quickest way would be to chad resort

But

[rain wing]

chad with scav vest

💀

[dry belfry]

skill

[rain wing]

who tf needs to reload if you have 75 rounds of 7.62x39 amirite?

[whole thistle]

All the early quests are on it

[rain wing]

I'll just go shoreline day and rush resort with my ump and hope someone dies after I pump them full of .45 ap

[whole thistle]

Ump lol

[rain wing]

yes.

idk what else to run

[whole thistle]

What level are you

[rain wing]

like 37 LMAO

[whole thistle]

Bruh

[rain wing]

[ornate owl]

ump is shit

[whole thistle]

What quest are you doing

[rain wing]

I just need the bpussy 😩

[rain wing]

punisher pt4

and spa tour 2

[whole thistle]

Use ap20 or smth

[rain wing]

that's for woods

[dry belfry]

Could just use RFB and camp resort hallway bridge

Idk I just resort to camping things

[whole thistle]

what

[dry belfry]

I don't have any skill

[whole thistle]

I fill hot men with ap20 on shoreline all the time

[rain wing]

oh

[whole thistle]

Yeah

[dry belfry]

I honestly

Feel like

[whole thistle]

Sit in the 301 pot

[dry belfry]

We could tell you to do any terrible strat and you might do it

[rain wing]

I will fucking do anything

I'm so bored

[dry belfry]

Lmfao

[whole thistle]

Anything? 😏

[rain wing]

yes

[dry belfry]

I camped Path to Shoreline with Ex-Pres last night

That was fun

[rain wing]

anything.

[rain wing]

based

[whole thistle]

@mint light you're a coward and a fraud

[dry belfry]

He LOVED it

[rain wing]

I was running lighthouse with my friend the other day and while extracting my friend got domed by a pscav

fucker had a rogue gun with m995

[whole thistle]

He shits his pants when I crouch in valorant then goes and moonlights as an extract camper

[dry belfry]

That's facts

[signal pivot]

what map does somebody think i should use this on

[bold kernel]

you can run that to any map, you could be going to whatever map you have quests for that you want to learn

[spiral flicker]

It's a scav

Lmao

I would run it on woods as usually I do

Lmao

[mint light]

u plan on using that scav gun?

[spiral flicker]

Its still on scav bruh

Look on that jacket

Oh ye

I am blind

Nvm

Lmao

Geksa vpo lmao

[bold kernel]

Hey, would anyone like a sponsored kit? Me and a friend are resetting our accounts and are looking to give some stuff away

[spiral flicker]

Lmao

I would take something but I am not home rn

Xd

[bold kernel]

unfortunate lol everyone were trying to give stuff is in raid

[spiral flicker]

Lmao

U know free kit is free kit even tho I have 80 mil xd

[bold kernel]

lmao yea take what you can get

[spiral flicker]

Exactly

That's how I got 80 mil lmao

[bold kernel]

lmao im poor money wise cause i donated the 10mil i had to the scav event but have a lot of kits

[spiral flicker]

I donated almost 20 mil through scav case

[bold kernel]

damn nice

[spiral flicker]

Ppl here tried to convince me to give 50

But that's too much xd

[bold kernel]

i mean hey 20 is still better than other people who had a lot more

[spiral flicker]

True

That event was such a trash bruh

[bold kernel]

i enjoyed it tbh

[spiral flicker]

I couldn't build any gun I like

I was running scav kits like 2 or 3 days

I mean

These kits were ok because I had 5.8 scav karma

[bold kernel]

i was having such a good time i was able to run like 2 kits constantly throughout the event

only died like once

[spiral flicker]

Lol

Giga chad right there

[unkempt ingot]

what is a good woods scav loot route?

[stiff fractal]

Depends on spawn.

[unkempt ingot]

you can run the same route backwards if you spawn on the wrong side of the map

[stiff fractal]

I recommend usec camp, scav bunker, village, and scav town.

[unkempt ingot]

what about hidden stashes

[stiff fractal]

There are maps that show them and several along the route. Village has a couple plus a marked circle. One just below usec next to a power line (my duo found a slick there tonight). A few in/just outside scav town.

Here is an example scav on woods

[ember monolith]

what do i need in my hideout to use the armor repair kit

what do i need in my hideout to use the armor repair kit

[maiden sky]

Armor

[spiral flicker]

Lavatory lvl 2 I think

[unkempt ingot]

tf

[earnest hull]

good ol scalping at it's finest

[brazen ether]

where would I go to looking for a group or just a duo to teach me the ropes?

[grizzled leaf]

i could learn you the ropes, but whats your timezones

[brazen ether]

1:28am

pst

[grizzled leaf]

why is it so late for you people

[brazen ether]

nolife

[grizzled leaf]

then wait like 3 hours

so can i come help

[olive bough]

#sherpa-info might be a bit better, they have a dedicated team

[brazen ether]

im down if im still up for it

ok thanks @olive bough

[grizzled leaf]

so its gonna be 4 30 am for you

you should sleep

[violet sparrow]

yo quick question for those who are still awake lol

do you think a green key card is worth a house on the hill key

[woven fiber]

is z33d fr banned?

[olive bough]

Yeah

He probably triggered some anti RMT checks

[woven fiber]

will miss the ultima 155's and m80 rfbs

[woven fiber]

holy shit i didnt know u get 0.25 fence rep for v-extracts

thats all im gonna do now lmao

[olive bough]

You will get diminishing returns tho

So second time you use the same car exfil, you’ll get 0.13

And so on

[woven fiber]

oh

wack

i thought every exctract was 0.25 😄

[grizzled leaf]

that would be over powered

[woven fiber]

eh i didnt know, got 10k rubles off a scav after completing yeagers quest and saw v-ex was near

first time doing it

are obdolbos worth keeping?

i got 3 rn

someone said it was needed for quest

[olive bough]

Though different car extracts do not interfere with the others

Like customs car does not diminish interchange car

[woven fiber]

so different maps are dfferent multipliers?

[olive bough]

Basically if you use customs once

You’ll get 0.25

And if you use it again you’ll get 0.13

But if you then use interchange once

It’ll still be 0.25

[unkempt ingot]

i keep catching myself getting too aggressive and dying, what can i do about this?

[brittle canyon]

be even more aggressive

[woven fiber]

self explanatory 😄

either go push and die AND learn something from the fight

or be a pussy and rat around yknow

both work

[limber saffron]

how do i complete an ar build like what goes under the upper receiver?

[kindred grotto]

barrel? foregrip?

[limber saffron]

ive got a barrel

and the thing that goes around

ill show a pic

[bold kernel]

Mag

Pistol grip

stock

[kindred grotto]

You'd be better off buying a full gun then making one yourself

[cyan stirrup]

Think the lower receiver is the critical piece, that's what the whole thing is built upon

[woven fiber]

xd

10min to search

[kindred grotto]

bro paying on roblox graphics

[twin cairn]

Guys what are the chances for me to encounter a cheater in Asian servers

[woven fiber]

problem?

[woven fiber]

i mean asians have a rep to cheat

[twin cairn]

Yea sadly rn it’s the only server with consistent ping

[kindred grotto]

no but it looks funny

[rain wing]

man I always see clips of people sniping and I want to try sniping as well

but I never know where to go lol

[rain wing]

I haven't met too many cheaters

[woven fiber]

i mean fps>graphics

[rain wing]

but idk what it's like on other servers

so idk

[opaque bone]

anybody want play whit a noob?

[woven fiber]

and i died 2 sec after screenshot to m62 hs btw 😄

[olive bough]

#pvp-lfg

[kindred grotto]

#sherpa-info

[rain wing]

#pvp-lfg

[twin cairn]

Hmm I’ve only really encountered one in resort

[kindred grotto]

Ive encountered like 3 confirmed cheaters in 400ish hours, they are not that common tbh

[rain wing]

yeah

[woven fiber]

i havent seen a single cheater , maybe a few sus deaths but no blatant ones

[rain wing]

i've met like 2-3 blatant

[woven fiber]

tbh scavs with shotguns are scarier

[rain wing]

a few sus deaths

speaking of which

lemme pull up the clip

https://medal.tv/games/escape-from-tarkov/clips/mHEramgFH_iEf/d1337dg7Mqfk?invite=cr-MSxzMjcsMzM1OTQ0NTQs

what do ya'll think of this

I just reported him

mf just appeared out of nowhere

[limber saffron]

weird movement

[bold kernel]

wtf?

[rain wing]

he killed my duo as well

[limber saffron]

but u didnt take shots at him

[kindred grotto]

might be a visual glitch

[rain wing]

yeah I couldn't shoot back cause I thought he was to the left

so I was surprised when he just came out of nowhere

[limber saffron]

going from crouch to stand ?

[rain wing]

it looked like he was in the sliding animation but it cancelled

[limber saffron]

i only just saq

saw

he liked teleported in

[rain wing]

I was also confused cause I heard him walking on wood

so I peeked out cause I thought he was in the office room

[misty ginkgo]

There is reported bugs of people being invisible on Labs.

Idk if that’s one of the places, but i know it happens at the doors in cages

[smoky moth]

yea, it might be the case of extreme desync or client rendering problems

otherwise it's just actually a cheater

[fresh owl]

i get 200fps just running around the map, but as soon as i get in a gunfight im playing on a microwave

[rain wing]

yeah

[dawn spoke]

yo

[unkempt ingot]

[dawn spoke]

which bullet should i use idk which ones are good and which ones are trash

[woven fiber]

bs is best ammo thats it

[glacial moss]

bt is good for budget

[woven fiber]

at that point just use 762 ps rounds 😄

[dawn spoke]

[primal yacht]

Anything other than ppbs bt bp bs and maybe ps should u throw away

[woven fiber]

igolnik is ass

[glacial moss]

[woven fiber]

sure it ignores armor but so little damage

[primal yacht]

High pen is nice

[woven fiber]

i got i think 200 rounds of it after i used it

[primal yacht]

Headshot or just spam

[woven fiber]

[bold kernel]

Igolnik

[woven fiber]

igolnik is bad bro

[dawn spoke]

Igolnik pens level 6

[woven fiber]

just because it pens doesnt mean its good

[brittle canyon]

i believe wipe will be thursday

[viscid kraken]

is there a point taking suppressors to factory?

[solemn raptor]

Muzzle flash

[brittle canyon]

recoil

[viscid kraken]

doesn't a muzzle break/flash hider reduce recoil as well?

[warped rapids]

What do i need to add to my ak in order to use that sight?

[spiral flicker]

Bastion dust cover, lvl 1 or 2 skier

[unkempt ingot]

dust cover with rail/dovetail mount with rail

about that

why do people use the pdc dust cover over the bastion

[unkempt ingot]

dovetail mount with rail adds more height overbore

[spiral flicker]

Idk probably ergo thing

[vivid rapids]

yo ,, any guys or teams here willing to show a noob some ropes,, pretty competent so will learn quick,, 18+ preferably,, dm me

[unkempt ingot]

bastion is better in every way

[spiral flicker]

Idk

[unkempt ingot]

#pvp-lfg #sherpa-info

[spiral flicker]

Drip thing probably

[vivid rapids]

thx G

[real shale]

hello I am a level 11 anyone wanna help me with some standard loot raids on customs?

[spiral flicker]

Yo why is this guy writing this --> ,, ? Is it like american slang thingy or something lmao

Or what does it mean xd

[bold kernel]

No clue

Maybe he meant to use ","

[spiral flicker]

🤷‍♂️

[viscid kraken]

uhm... can AI scavs take pmc weapons and kill other pmc's with it?

[spiral flicker]

Yes

[warped rapids]

thank you two! will go and see, just got a massive loot scav run

[spiral flicker]

They can take every weapon which is in main slot and use it

[viscid kraken]

because... i just died to a scav with m995... in factory

[spiral flicker]

Lmao

[real shale]

Someone invited me to a raid killed me and took my stuff. Good times

[spiral flicker]

Yea don't accept these invites

[real shale]

rookie mistake, had too much faith in people

[spiral flicker]

Yea

Well

1 day

I was farming scav karma

And I spawned 3 times with 200k items and I always died with it to pscavs

[real shale]

rippp

[spiral flicker]

So now when someone is aiming at me I am just sprinting around

[real shale]

Thankfully I didnt bring anything good in just a ADAR

[spiral flicker]

I'd say panic run

[real shale]

I would have cried if I brought the Muatant in

Mutant

One of my friends Fully kitted the Mutant I found and gave me a kitted MDR with the good 762 nrounds

[woven fiber]

is anything even worth selling on flea now

is the fee gonna go away any time soon

doesnt feel like alot but sure costed a bit 😄

[brittle canyon]

guess why saker is meta... good brake + good can on top
double the recoil reduction

[cold fog]

is the as VAL any good?

[unkempt ingot]

do u guys have a friend who uses a 416 as a tapfire gun?

[bold kernel]

Yes

if you can get good ammo for it

[cold fog]

don't think I can buy any, but prapor gave me a val and some decent ammo as a reward

might use it

[bold kernel]

I think you shouls

[bold kernel]

What prapor level do you have

you can get SP-5 which pens up to level 4

[cold fog]

only 3

no wait

level 2

[bold kernel]

You can get Sp-6

oh

If level 2 you can get SP-5

[cold fog]

I'm 1 rep short of 3 tho

[bold kernel]

I'd wait

[cold fog]

he gave me either sp5 or 6 idk which tho

I'mma try and get one more of his tasks done asap

[lethal furnace]

Just bought the game and cant get the email to verify on the launcher anyone know what i can do or who i can contact

[warped rapids]

Guys ive got the quest from prapor ehich introduces me to jagger, and went to jaggers camp but there wasnt anything from the quest there, does it mean that someone looted it before me or it has a chance to spawn?

[solemn raptor]

@cold fog val gamer?

[merry swift]

Its one of the best close range SMGs

Just don't use it beyond close range

[ruby adder]

It'll spawn constantly, you have to pick up the message which is under the tower. The side closest to the rocks I believe

[cold fog]

blue fuel tank or vase?>

[merry swift]

Its clientbased

It wont spawn unless you have the quest in which case it always spawns, it's not constantly spawning or anything.

But its easy to miss

[ruby adder]

Same difference, providing the quest is active. It'll spawn

[violet crystal]

sp6, pab 9, and spp are rly good

sp5 is good too

[cold fog]

lmao maybe

[cold fog]

so do I want to bring it to maps like reserve and factory?

[cold fog]

tyty

[merry swift]

Sure. Shoreline resort is also good for VAL

Customs dorms

[cold fog]

sick. thanks man!

[merry swift]

Bring 30 rounders tho

That's a must

Hm I don't know if you can buy those tbh

They're probably LL3 or 4

You could use the prapor LL3 barter if you can find cheap pliers

[cold fog]

noted. I'll give it a look see when I have ll3 for prapor

speaking of that, where can I find bottles of whiskey easy?

I need like 2 and I can rank up Prapor

[merry swift]

Food spawns can have them

I find them on lighthouse more than on other maps

[cold fog]

gotcha

[merry swift]

They have no reliable spawns

If you need em FIR you can craft them too

[brazen leaf]

Got this game like a year ago, played for like 2 hours then gave up. Now deciding to get back on it. Any other newbs looking for someone to play with and maybe teach the ropes?

[merry swift]

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[merry swift]

Look here @brazen leaf

[brazen leaf]

thanks

[violet crystal]

its also good as a tapping weapon

like medium range

[acoustic flume]

Is the lighthouse event still active?

[smoky moth]

yes

[primal yacht]

Are tank batteriet worth anything

[dry belfry]

Well, yes

But is it worth the effort to carry them out?

That’s up to you

[primal yacht]

Ye it was

[dry belfry]

You do need one FIR for a quest

[primal yacht]

Which

[dry belfry]

Forget the name, it’s a Prapor quest that requires OFZ shells and a tank battery

Regulated Materials?

[primal yacht]

Imma look it up

[prime comet]

Yeah you do

It’s quite an early prapor quest too

[long depot]

best way to kill people with alytns?

i need to change up my factory strats or something lmfao

it aint going well

[prime comet]

Top of head

Or leg meta

[long depot]

top of head?

through the fuck off steel helmet?

[prime comet]

The Altyns helmets aren’t amazing

It’s just the face shield that makes them good

So, top of head

[warped rapids]

Ohh true, i went there as an scav and the message wasnt there, got it, ty^^

[bold kernel]

Malboro

and the hose

[warped rapids]

and the fuel is worth saving? i havent found a way to use it yet

[bold kernel]

hideout generator

[primal yacht]

Save it for when u need to craft

[queen sun]

What gun should I bring on my pmc?
Something that wouldn't break my bank if I lost it

[warped rapids]

oooh

i see

[cold fog]

is the korund or the avs worth saving? idk if I should repair them or not

[gilded laurel]

so.. I just started downloading the game a bit ago and it'll be done in like 30 min. Anybody willing to run some games with a newbie?

[bold kernel]

kordun is level 5

AVS is a good rig as it has a lot of space and armour level 4

I'd save them

If you have something like a armour repair kit

[cold fog]

I don't, that's my main concern

[bold kernel]

300k on flea

[cold fog]

I'm losing a lot of dura if i repair them

[bold kernel]

last time I checked

[warped rapids]

r u from eu?

[gilded laurel]

US with good internet lol

[warped rapids]

oh no, then i cant, my internet isnt that good to run with NA players

[gilded laurel]

I could run on your servers

[minor mural]

Power cord is worth more as a craft. The rest can be vendor's unless you need it

[minor mural]

As long as you start the raid at over 80% of max HP you're fine

Korunds don't last very long though, 2 to 3 raids

[cold fog]

itll probably be my 3rd or fourth with it next raid

guess I'll ditch it after that

[minor mural]

What's the hp at

[cold fog]

43.8?

[minor mural]

You're fine, the max is 45. Retire it once the max durability is 35 and you're thinking of repairing it again

[wise cave]

So rogues are gone from the water treatment plant yeah?

[cold fog]

gotcha

thanks mate

[prime comet]

Korund repairs super well

[cold fog]

nah they live there

[wise cave]

Riiiiiip

[prime comet]

Like that’ll probably repair back to 43-44

[wise cave]

Waiting for them to be gone to do all the water treatment quests lmao

[prime comet]

Easily

Titan material is amazing

[cold fog]

pretty sure they're there permanently until the lighthouse expansion comes out, if not after

so you'll be waiting a while

[minor mural]

Though korund was titan? Oh well. Regardless, run any armor (or repair them) if the max durability is greater than 75% (so 35 for korund)

[prime comet]

That is what I just said

[cobalt escarp]

just had an update, cant find any tweet.. what is it about

[minor mural]

I didn't pull those numbers out of my ass. Somewhere between 60 and 70% your armor will lose an entire class rating and lose first shot protection

[wise cave]

should prolly take a 5 man and take em out

[prime comet]

I repaired a zeros Korund and it went from 0/45 to 43/44

So good

[minor mural]

Nice!

[prime comet]

Like it’s super good

[cold fog]

gotcha. Thanks @prime comet @minor mural, tbqh I don't know much about armor and this actually helps a lot

[prime comet]

And it looks drippy

[vast temple]

How do I attach my SV98 supp. and the 1P69 scope to a SV-98

[prime comet]

Ceramic = 1 or 2 uses

That’s all that matters

[minor mural]

Titan is about 3

[prime comet]

It’s dudu

Titan I get like 5-6 out of a korund

[minor mural]

Prapor or someone else? I only get 3 out of my rigs

[prime comet]

Yeah prapor

[minor mural]

Hmm. Wait. Didt they make rigs repair worse?

[prime comet]

Couldn’t say

This is my first proper wipe

[minor mural]

They did something a year ago. My frame of reference is the various class 4 titan rigs that lose 10% a repair.

Anyway

[prime comet]

Korund is just litty

[minor mural]

Just remember that 80% rule of thumb and you'll be fine. Any lower its probably better to just spend the money on a new one

[prime comet]

Imma go farm killa tagilla soon

[vast temple]

How do I attach my SV98 supp. and the 1P69 scope to a SV-98

[prime comet]

So armour won’t be an issue

[minor mural]

I think you have to take the rear sight off an sv-98. Don't forget the end cap

Scoped need rings, do you have one?

[vast temple]

Nope, which mount is it

[minor mural]

I dont know what a 1p69 is. Type the name for me

[vast temple]

KMZ 1P69 3-10x riflescope

[minor mural]

The fuck is that? Hang on

[vast temple]

Idk lol im kinda new and it says it's for the SV-98 in the description

[minor mural]

You need the weaver mount with the same name, and your sv-98 needs an open rail, which it should come with

[vast temple]

Alright thank you

[minor mural]

What level are you?

[vast temple]

15

[minor mural]

Use what you want, but you might have an easier time with 30mm scopes. Valday, Vudu, Tac30, etc

Jaeger has the rings and a tac30 barter. Flea market has the rest

I dont know anything about the kmz, but 3-10 might be too much magnification for this game

[prime comet]

Linked search the scope for the mount you need

[karmic axle]

damn

running with a squad

after you've been running solo all along

feels so good

[minor mural]

"He's on the left"
"Where"
"Left. He got me"
"There is nobody on the left"

Good times, lol

[warped rapids]

Does killing scav players also reduce the reputation?

[minor mural]

Only if they aren't traitor

If they are traitor it goes up

[warped rapids]

oh yeah... i had this guy that kept following me from close so he could hit headshot, and he killed me

[minor mural]

Yeah that happens. It's late wipe and no one cares about karma. I barely care during the wipe...

[karmic axle]

nah man

Labs is great

i love labs now

I almost team killed tho

💀

[minor mural]

Best advice to avoid scav on acav violence is to fuck off and leave

You need to accept that some people view scav karma as a resource to be spent and they are going to size up how valuable you might be to loot

[brittle canyon]

it is a resource to be managed though

that's the design intent

[hazy veldt]

Only if you don't care about 6.

[long depot]

am i being stupid or i swear there was a sanitar bag trade?

like sanitars bag and something else barter.

[whole thistle]

there was during an event

[long depot]

ah

[brittle canyon]

fence 4 is mid

[final oasis]

good scav rep is so profitable

ive spawned with int and a labs card b fore

just run factory so u can scav in like 2mins

[bold kernel]

Or you can use your scav raids to make money on reserve or woods

[final oasis]

yh

or hit shoreline caches

[bold kernel]

That as well

[gilded laurel]

Anyone willing to run a few games with someone who literally just downloaded the game? I got a mic ofc.

[viscid kraken]

anyone had stuff in their gamma disappear after extracting?

[bold kernel]

I have a beta but it never happened

[gilded laurel]

I'm brand new, anyone willing to show me the ropes?

[viscid kraken]

weird, killed a vpo-101 scav who had m61 ammo on shoreline, i got them all in my container but after extracting they go poof

[calm ibex]

can someone help me im a level 2 with 17k

[viscid kraken]

if you're down bad, you can always reset your account... just examining everything in traders should get you to lv2 again

[calm ibex]

it reset my acc already

i was lvl 15

with 2 mil

then poof

its all gone

[viscid kraken]

how did your account get reset?

[calm ibex]

idk

[carmine stream]

LF a duo to help me on reserve wanna learn that map if interested dm me

[bold kernel]

Anyone fancy trying to carry me on labs?

[muted pumice]

Hey guys is anyone able to help me learn its my first day on Tarkov I've watched a few YouTube videos already?

[whole thistle]

when did it reset?

[fresh owl]

did they nerf scav case?

[woven fiber]

is the lighthouse killa-tagilla a thing?

[minor mural]

What do you mean. Which gamble?

[hollow jay]

can i do signal part 1 as a scav

[bold kernel]

No

[dapper galleon]

No tasks can be done as a scav

[bold kernel]

The only quests you can do as a scav is when you have to find an item in raid

like

Bad Habit for example

[fresh owl]

both moonshine and intel. i didnt even get a gun out of my recent moonshine, and intel usually only gets me bad dorms keys. i used to regularly get merins and marked keys, but the last couple days have been super dry

[woven fiber]

still a gamble bro 😄

[bold kernel]

RNG

[fresh owl]

RNG that just randomly becomes super bad? ive been getting decent returns until recently, it doesnt seem random

[dapper galleon]

It def got worse when they changed the flee fee shit

My intel’s have been dog shit since then

[bold kernel]

I was gonna ask if its worth investing in

at level 19

but it seems like I've gotten my answer now

[woven fiber]

xd

[bold kernel]

Unlucky

[woven fiber]

how much hp does he have in total

[hexed lagoon]

Around 45 I think

[woven fiber]

so over 44

ok

[hexed lagoon]

Does anybody know why I can't give Skier the Flash Drive??

[dapper galleon]

Killa has 770 HP last I checked

[woven fiber]

so i left him on 1 hp pretty much

[hexed lagoon]

Oh We are talking about Killa

[woven fiber]

damn

[hexed lagoon]

Sorry

[woven fiber]

i was 1cm away from cover aswell

[dapper galleon]

You left him at around 200 hp

[woven fiber]

ye, thats like 3 shots

[dapper galleon]

Depends how fucked his armour was

I had him eat 30 rounds of BS and live

[dapper galleon]

When I dropped him his helmet was zeroed visor and helmet and armour was 4/60

[woven fiber]

i didnt even bother for armor

just went for legs

i knew i wouldnt pen

[dapper galleon]

Eh blunt damage hurts man

Enough shots to head kills through armour

[woven fiber]

i was with rfb so i cant get too many accurate shots off before i died

just gonna run some cheap kits mp153 withs magnum

[dapper galleon]

Shoulda went for chest with rfb. M80 woulda went through around 4th shot

[woven fiber]

was first time seeing killa

idk what armor class he had

[dapper galleon]

I feel that, he a scary man

[woven fiber]

not scary as much as annoying

[minor mural]

This late in wipe I wouldn't build the scav case or bitcoin farm. You can stop at intelligence 2

[dapper galleon]

Only boss I fear is killa as he has countlessly wiped my 4 man I run with from 2 miles away with BS

[minor mural]

Class 6 face, 5 thorax, 4 rest of head

Uses an RPK, so if you hear one popping off you can try taking him out by lean peeking (on interchange anyway)

The first person that finds him is almost certain to die because of how his spawn works now

Hunting killa isn't a bad use for all that igolnik you have laying around. Obviously m61 is better

[bold kernel]

Alright thank you

[minor mural]

The 85k gamble is more consistent but also boring. I usually prefer to just sell moonshine on flea

[woven fiber]

there

eco run

[minor mural]

Hmm?

[woven fiber]

best shotgun run yet lmao

[grave pasture]

whats the button to extract?

[fresh owl]

to see your available ones?

double tap O

[grave pasture]

i went to the power one in interchange but nothing happens when I go there

[bold kernel]

Most extracts activate when you get in their range.

I think you’re talking about the power station vehicle extract? If so, the car is only there sometimes and when it’s there you need to pay somewhere around 5000 roubles and wait a minute before it drives away

[grave pasture]

oh

[bold kernel]

It takes a minute for the car to be ready to leave but you only need to be in the area for extraction within the last few seconds

[woven fiber]

what is virtex used for

the dude i killed with the shotgun had it in his fat ass backpack

[brittle canyon]

crafts

[primal yacht]

Is an MGT worth anything

[ornate owl]

not really

it’s like 50k

[primal yacht]

Ok ty just found a gpu

[ornate owl]

nicee

[primal yacht]

Ye 1 more for my task

this to this

[ornate owl]

nice

[primal yacht]

Ty

[ornate owl]

don’t use those helmets btw

just sell em

[primal yacht]

Ik there lvl 1

[primal yacht]

It fooled me once

[sage sandal]

how do wipes work

i come from rust and there the game force wipes every month on the first thursday of that month how does it work in tarkov

[dawn geyser]

Usually every 4-8 months - Everything and anything gets reset

[sage sandal]

and is it like in rust where all your progress gets deleted ?

[dawn geyser]

Only thing that transfers over is your time played.

[sage sandal]

ohh ok

when was last wipe ?

[dawn geyser]

??wipe

[red current]

The last wipe commenced on 12th December 2021.

[sage sandal]

ok tyy

[dawn geyser]

Sure thing

[woven fiber]

BRUH

took my scav and all that shit

[left hound]

when running reserve should i stay above ground or be running the bunker as a new player only level 17

[jagged laurel]

?

Free richochet chance

[dry belfry]

Well, you’re very very likely to fight in bunker

Are you comfortable with fighting

[left hound]

no.... i die alot

[dry belfry]

Then I’d avoid it

There’s a silly amount of loot everywhere though so you don’t really need to be under there

[distant bone]

how does this make sense?

[dry belfry]

New tax equation

[left hound]

i can never find anything above ground, i see all these youtubers getting these awesome guns and kits from the bunker and i never get anything

[distant bone]

thats so dumb

[dry belfry]

159,921 is now the optimal price

Might as well keep it

[dry belfry]

They’re getting raider loot from bunker

[left hound]

ahhh gotcha i always die the them fuckers

[woven fiber]

event is too easy ngl

[dry belfry]

The loot above ground is plenty profitable and there’s tons of it

[left hound]

is that a good run?

[woven fiber]

why reserve tho?

its a chad map

go woods or something 😄

[left hound]

i like reserve i hate woods so much

[dry belfry]

That route will be a bit hot

I’ll draw you one when I get on the pc

[left hound]

gothca thanks

[left hound]

woods is such a slow map and i can never see people before they start shooting at me , unless you have like a 100% safe run that gets me racks

[woven fiber]

sawmill workersshacks, abandoned village , stashes

so many good spots on woods for loot

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

u can see loot spawns on map

and just go off of that

go in early loot fast extract fast

[amber wave]

woods is the best map in the game smh, if you want a fight you can find one every game, if you want easy millions you can get it without a single fight

[woven fiber]

wont meet anyone

[left hound]

i want to get alot of money before i really just go crazy with pvp

so honestly show me a woods run

[amber wave]

gotchu

[left hound]

i want to avoid anything and everything

is this key good? where does it go to

[woven fiber]

interchange im guessing

tarkov wiki

why u using that shitty russian holo btw 😄

[left hound]

the valday? idk someone said to use it?

[woven fiber]

and the 4.4 armor vest

bro u high? :DDDDD

[worn tapir]

Hey guys, what's the highest chance for fleece/ripstop spawns? I've got a weekly and I can do the ripstop no problem as I can craft it, but fleece is a pain as it requires those beenies I can never find.

[mint light]

thats not the valday

[amber wave]

usually what I follow, checkered marks are optional, and ! are the only places you need to watch out

[left hound]

gotcha im gonna go try this rn

[amber wave]

just run from wherever you spawn

watch yourself on the left side of the map and the top middle, if you get there early in the game you might run into a few players

[woven fiber]

i always run straight to sawmill

if no shturman loot and dip

[amber wave]

exactly why I didnt mark it for the new player lol

[woven fiber]

nah i mean even when i was new

i knew i could do those safe runs

but i always ran to sawmill

alot more fun

[amber wave]

yeah I also usually end up playing that same way, I want my 25 shturman kills to buy a lapua

[woven fiber]

killing shturman with some shitty smg

rn the lighthouse event

making me bands

[amber wave]

I found a FLIR lapua super early this wipe, Ive been hoarding it until i can find a good reason to use it

[versed scarab]

whats a weapon loadout for beginners?

I cant access the flea market yet

[brittle canyon]

what map what objective

like (example) stock mossberg with 8.5 for poverty customs quest runs

[versed scarab]

I only know woods and customs

[left hound]

ump, buy 7 black knifes from fence, trade them for a ump use match FMJ rounds, or a mosin

my fav loadout before fela

[amber wave]

usually mp5's carry me through the beginning of a wipe

[brittle canyon]

ump/mp5 probably best to use when the game wipes sooner or later

[woven fiber]

comes with time

u can go to lighthouse on london servers

if u dont like ur legs

[worn tapir]

I have a rather love/hate relationship with my legs

[woven fiber]

ikr

wheels are superior

[worn tapir]

If you remove them with that magnum, will I get robot legs?

[woven fiber]

i can strap 2 akms stocks on them if u want

would be a pretty nice prost. leg ngl

[amber wave]

another relatively good route if you just want money, never need to actually enter the mall

[versed scarab]

thx for the help guys

[woven fiber]

no problem my dude

😆

[woven fiber]

sks with ps ammo

if u want optic

prapor 4x

pso scope

@versed scarab

[minor mural]

This route is good, but you don't need to hit every stash and if you start at railway or emercom don't immediately go for one or you'll likely get shot

[hexed lagoon]

Does anybody know if it's a glitch or something?

I'm trying to complete the "What's on the flash drive?" quest for Skier. I have found the first flash drive and the second one, but it won't let me hand in the second one.

Yes, it was found in raid and it has the orange tick that says "The item has been found in raid for The 'What's on the flash drive?' quest"

[jagged laurel]

Sounds like a bug

Either restart your game

[hexed lagoon]

Already tried it...

[jagged laurel]

Or delete the second one and fine a new one

[hexed lagoon]

😔

Alright, ty!

[jagged laurel]

Go dorms and hit the safes

You’ll get it

[hexed lagoon]

Sad timmy sounds

[worn tapir]

They better be Zenits, girls got taste.

[spring hornet]

critical launcher update IS THAT THE WIPE

[woven fiber]

no

[left hound]

i have way to much in my stash and need to make some cash what should i sell?

[bold kernel]

Get a med case

That'd be a great investment

Empty and sell the SV-98 mags

[left hound]

gothca but i also wanna sell some random stuff like i have alot of backpacks holding shit

[woven fiber]

just sell the backpacks if ur not gonna use

its either u use them instantly or u sell

the guns and scav backpack aswell

KNIVES for some reason

[grand quiver]

how good is HP ammo?

[woven fiber]

very good

at being bad

[worn tapir]

bad, unless you're going for naked scavs

[grand quiver]

thank you for the info

and how good is T ammo?

i just got a bunch of ammo laying around and the graphs just confuse me

[turbid edge]

anyone want to help me do some quest? i keep dying

[woven fiber]

look at a ammo chart

theres so many bullets in this game

[grand quiver]

yeah i got 5 different variations of the 5.56

[minor mural]

Stack your backpacks

[left hound]

medcases are a weeeee pricey

[minor mural]

The game has numerous civilian rounds from Dicks Sporting Goods to fill out scav loadouts. You should only pay attention to a couple rounds and sell the rest

[grand quiver]

yeah just trying to find the ones i gotta look out for

[minor mural]

5.45. BP, bt, bs, ppbs (look for B)
7.62. Just BP
5.56. Both A1s, m995, and SSA AP
7.62 NATO. M61, m62, m993

Pistols, shotguns, PDW cartridges. Meh. They are pretty obvious IMO, except for SB193 and SB190

[woven fiber]

https://eft.monster/

i like this chart

its simple and easy

[grand quiver]

looking at it for the past 5 minutes

[woven fiber]

click on what ammo u want and u get a chart

[grand quiver]

yeah just dont know what side is good

because im used to high damage good

[minor mural]

To put it plainly, anything over 40 pen you want to horde and anything with 30 pen is a budget round

Ignore all flesh ammo until you know enough about the game to intentionally want it

[grand quiver]

ok this alone is game changing

[minor mural]

You'll see people mention "leg meta" ammo like RIP or SP7, but most new players shouldn't worry about it

[left hound]

just sold and did alot of organizing. new stash looking fresh

[grand quiver]

yeah that i know since i had to run low budget factory smg runs before

[open finch]

so I just started today and now I've lost all of my guns. what do i do? lol

[woven fiber]

scav

[minor mural]

Scav run. Shoot nothing. Loot and extract

[woven fiber]

dont shoot other scavs btw

[open finch]

ohh so if I go in as a scav I can extract and keep the equipment?

[minor mural]

Are you using insurance?

[dawn geyser]

Whatever you offload from a scav run you keep

If your inventory valuation gets low enough

They'll drop you a care package

[open finch]

lol I don't know the mechanics of this game. that was a mistake

[woven fiber]

fr?

whats in it

[dawn geyser]

Yes

I'm not sure, haven't gotten that low

[grand quiver]

care packages have basic armor, backpack, gun, and ammo from what i remember

[woven fiber]

ok i think i met my first cheater rn 😄

[unkempt hawk]

what suppresor do you guys recomend for 7.62 mdr?

im lvl 23 keep that in mind

dont have high lvl traders

money isnt a issue

i just cant find any on the flea

[upper raft]

anyone down to play i need help i just died at customs\

[marsh wind]

is there an easier way to tell if my voip is working other than meeting someone in game and having to do the awkward lean dance because they cant hear me?

[minor mural]

There's an icon that pops up if it is receiving a signal

By your stance indicator

[marsh wind]

any way to tell while not in game?

id hate to have to fix it on the fly :/

[minor mural]

Probably should work in your shooting range or in an offline raid

[marsh wind]

the game is sure to remind you voip is disabled in offline and i dont have a shooting range. oh well, yolo

[terse oasis]

Is this key good or useful?

[marsh wind]

honestly the voip issues alone make me regret choosing bear lol. at least if my character spoke english i could communicate lol

[unkempt hawk]

how can ui get the kac qdc?

is it able to be sold on flea?

[woeful spruce]

voip is voicechat, thats the same for all factions. the voice comands are kinda not super usefull compared to it anymore. maybe some F1 spam to taunt the enemy but for that bear is just as good

[minor mural]

Peacekeeper sells it

It doesn't look like anything special. It looks like the default

[queen sun]

Is there a way of getting more xp from raids?

[quartz iron]

event still ongoing?

[quartz iron]

survive, kill everything

farm rogues
