I'd guess nah normal 556 ass imo

[acoustic grotto]

man yall have crazy gear

[open hedge]

i still have a ton of 856a1

and can buy more

[valid trout]

The more you play

[open hedge]

so far nobody has penned my armor

[valid trout]

The better you understand

[open hedge]

so this should do fine

[valid trout]

The more fear

[valid trout]

What map

[open hedge]

ive ran this on interchange and customs

[brittle canyon]

I mean 56a1 still acceptable

[acoustic grotto]

I've played 3 days straight

[valid trout]

No no no

I mean

[open hedge]

he means this

[valid trout]

Months of playing

[valid trout]

Exactly

[acoustic grotto]

dang

[acoustic grotto]

[open hedge]

[valid trout]

Chachter

[craggy violet]

unless u are going to use it

[shy flint]

Munnies

[acoustic grotto]

i have 18.95 hours on the game and i got it three days ago

[open hedge]

a lot of risk for mostly mundane loot

[valid trout]

Not really

[open hedge]

cant keep it in container either

[valid trout]

Used a red flare before

It’s really good

[open hedge]

is it better than the natural ones?

the natural ones are usually bad

[brittle canyon]

organic non gmo airdrops

[shy flint]

Gluten free?

[nimble leaf]

noticed the airdrops are worse than they used to be. got one that was all backpacks. another that was all light beer

[valid trout]

I mean I didn’t hit the new ones

[valid trout]

Yea

There’s different classes of airdrops

Did you not see?

There’s like 4 or 5 types

[wet dew]

sold a good portion, still got a lot left but made 150k from it

[valid trout]

Sell the 2 normal splints and the 3 normal bandages

[craggy violet]

so much more space now 🔥

[brittle canyon]

sell more

[craggy violet]

ye

do that

those esmarch aswell i would sell

[open hedge]

that sks is interesting

[wet dew]

did a raid with it and found that silencer

its crazy how silencers sell for like 20k but you find them everywhere

[open hedge]

if possible use the OP sks with a sight

makes things interesting

[wet dew]

also what should i sell from my junkbox its almost full

[open hedge]

let me mark this up in MS paint real fast

[valid trout]

Shampoo

Shus and xano

Dr lupo beans

Tp

[shy flint]

So... Skittles what should I be doing I'm guessing ranking up my traders? I don't really know what I'm aiming to do in this game lol

[gilded talon]

yeah same, just started yesterday

[valid trout]

Learn customs I recommend asking someone to help u with that if not pull a map on ur phone

[whole mauve]

why cant i turn in gunsmith 4

[valid trout]

Learn the extracts

[valid trout]

But the mag in the gum

Gun

[whole mauve]

still nothing

[valid trout]

Bullet in chamber?

[valid trout]

What’s the durability

[shy flint]

Customs is scary

But okay

[valid trout]

Learn how to do tasks

[shy flint]

I will study

[valid trout]

Customs is the least scary map

LOL

[mild knoll]

Keep g phones, gas analysers, graphics cards

[whole mauve]

100

[valid trout]

Idfk then LOL

[shy flint]

My anxiety would go through the roof. could get shot from anywhere and I suck at identifying targets

[mild knoll]

Sell the dr lupos, thermometer, 42 tea

[valid trout]

I’ll dm you later a route (safe one)

[nimble leaf]

man woods is just being brutal today'

[shy flint]

Ty senpai

[valid trout]

I usually never die this route

[open hedge]

rat running customs?

[valid trout]

I am a rat yes

[mild knoll]

Keep the g phones for a quest later on

[shy flint]

[valid trout]

[shy flint]

[nimble leaf]

I'm a solo , ratting is the safest way

[open hedge]

possibly i usually sell them

[open hedge]

i play solo

[gilded talon]

could i also get that route?

[nimble leaf]

I ain't no chad

[valid trout]

Yea sure

[mild knoll]

[open hedge]

solo doesnt mean you cant fight

[mild knoll]

Yes and no

[valid trout]

Ykw I’m in bed but I’ll get on to draw a route

[mild knoll]

What’s ur surv rate

[nimble leaf]

I mean I'm real good at killin' scavs

[open hedge]

just outgear the competition

[nimble leaf]

pffft, am lv10 lol

[open hedge]

i got all of that for free

[mild knoll]

Think my survival rate is like 25% rn

[nimble leaf]

I ain't getting that gear for awhile

[mild knoll]

Legit worst wipe

[nimble leaf]

best gear I've killed for is uh.. uhhh.... got a killa on factory thanks to leg meta

[open hedge]

just some easy rogue farming gets you tons of gear

[nimble leaf]

never done that, avoid shoreline

[mild knoll]

Yes but I dont know best way to do rogues

I’m legit just as much a noob as anyone with lighthouse

[open hedge]

7 class 5 armors 4 class 4 and 1 class 6

all gotten with a vpo 215

even that scar was from the rogues

[nimble leaf]

mind the mess, best armor and helmet in one pic

[mild knoll]

My luck I’d spawn and die on lighthouse within 1 minute

[valid trout]

wrong

[nimble leaf]

best I have

know there's better

[mild knoll]

Just min max brother.

[open hedge]

this is my best

[mild knoll]

SKS, headphone and healing in your pouch lol

[nimble leaf]

I usually run scav kits, has worked out so far

[mild knoll]

That’s good as well

[nimble leaf]

42% surv, 4.63 k/d

[open hedge]

only drawback to solo for me

[nimble leaf]

don't know maps too well mind

[mild knoll]

A lot better then 25% lol

[shy flint]

Mine is probably 0% I think I've only done 1 raid with my PMC since I'm a scaredy cat

[open hedge]

a lot of my deaths are from scavs head eyesing me

[shy flint]

And I died on that run lol

[valid trout]

@gilded talon @shy flint

[nimble leaf]

oooh customs

[open hedge]

youll never learn to calm down if you dont stress yourself

[mild knoll]

Bruh i see a pixel of a player this wipe and I get head eyes,

Every time, so I just pistol run

[nimble leaf]

that's why I like scav kits provi, not worried about losing anything, and if I survive even better

[mild knoll]

Yeah I never go decent gear, not without a good helmet lol

And visor.

[valid trout]

Lil messy but the circles are where you spawn

[nimble leaf]

I go decent if I'm questing. helmets have saved my life three times this wipe

[valid trout]

#helmets save lives

[shy flint]

Idk just can't get over the fear of losing gear. So used to obtaining gear my whole gaming life.

[nimble leaf]

hoping to do better with questing and leveling for my second wipe... didn't get to far last one

[open hedge]

since visors cant be bought till later in game this set up with condors is very effective against shotguns

[open hedge]

it took me 3 wipes to get my bearings

learn at your own pace

no shame in it

[valid trout]

I get farther every wipe

[open hedge]

last wipe it took me the whole wipe to get to level 48 and a week into this one im 28

[nimble leaf]

definitely winning more fights this wipe, granted it's hard to lose when you just click until you run out of magnum

took me all of last wipe to lose gear fear

[shy flint]

First time playing this game so still fighting gear fear

[open hedge]

gear fear is very limiting i encourage everyone to get past it

[valid trout]

Did you see my map?

[shy flint]

I did I saved it.

I still don't know jack about customs

[valid trout]

Good

[shy flint]

[nimble leaf]

if it helps, everything you get will be gone in ~6 months

that helped me in the end

[valid trout]

Gear fear! Okay to get over it litteraly go into factory a lot

With gear

[nimble leaf]

exactly what I did

I lost a Zhuk to m855 leg meta

probably what broke me

[valid trout]

But don’t don’t do it when you’re broke

[open hedge]

factory is a great place to learn basic pvp and let loose of gear fear

factory pvp is the most basic form

[nimble leaf]

you hoot and bum-rush

99% of the time it works every time

[valid trout]

I remember every time I got mad I would put a fast mt and black rock and kround and p90 run in kill 2 once leave and do it over and over

[shy flint]

I'm assuming all the gear from a wipe is trash so

Guess I'm going to factory

[valid trout]

With?

[shy flint]

Idk

[nimble leaf]

I ran 30+ factory during that raider event

[shy flint]

[nimble leaf]

scav, two pmc's, back to scav. learned a lot

[shy flint]

A m4a1?

[nimble leaf]

lost my fear

[valid trout]

Make sure to not use your only good kit

[shy flint]

Idk what is my good kit

[valid trout]

Show me your stash

[shy flint]

Uhhh

[open hedge]

for factory i recommend a shotgun or smg

[valid trout]

Yes mp5

[open hedge]

mp5k is cheap and very nice

can be bought at level 1

[nimble leaf]

umps are good

[dull epoch]

anybody want to play im lvl5 need help doing some quest

[nimble leaf]

I think?

[shy flint]

[open hedge]

great against class 3 but helpless against class 4

[valid trout]

Don’t go factory yet

[nimble leaf]

no such thing as knee armor

[shy flint]

[nimble leaf]

though, I haven't run into many class 4 wearers

[valid trout]

Just learn customs and learn to die

[shy flint]

[open hedge]

because they are the ones 1 tapping you

[nimble leaf]

I've only been one-tapped like... twice this wipe?

been in a lot of low level brawls

[open hedge]

wish i could say the same

[shy flint]

What do I take to custom then?

[wet dew]

@open hedge sold em and now im about to hit 4 mill

[open hedge]

i only have 2m

i spend money on impulse

[nimble leaf]

but I generally move slow and focus on doing quests, or finding an area I want to loot

so when I do end up fighting, it's folks around my level

[valid trout]

Sks, bag, paca

[nimble leaf]

all the chads have already committed war crimes and left

[wet dew]

i use purely only sold scav gear money to fund my kits

[open hedge]

ive been shot a lot in the head

[shy flint]

No sks do I buy one/

[nimble leaf]

have yet to be... de feeted.

[open hedge]

head is usually in that spot as its lower hp count makes it hard to deal tons of damage to

[valid trout]

Yes from prapor

Sks good gun

Help get better sim and sim for head with it

[valid trout]

You fucking sound like my friend

[open hedge]

mfw apple autocorrects aim to sim

[valid trout]

Bro got money before levels

[valid trout]

Yea I’m on mobile rn

[nimble leaf]

factory scav runs are a good way to level rep, and get decent loot if you know what to look for.

[valid trout]

I kill rogues with my scav

[nimble leaf]

I don't know shoreline, or the rogue kill route so... I dun do dat

[valid trout]

Rogues are on lighthouse

[nimble leaf]

but, just got kits for the next few pmc raids from one factory... and that works for me for now

[nimble leaf]

as you can see, I know nothing

[wet dew]

[valid trout]

😭

[valid trout]

LOL I NEVER KNEW THIS EXISTED

I GOTTA CHECK NOW

[nimble leaf]

that's a thing? :v

[open hedge]

i have 60 kills iirc

pmc

a few hundred scavs already

[shy flint]

Wait I'm confused where are the mags for the sks

[valid trout]

inernal mag

top feed

[shy flint]

Oh I just carry ammo for it

Got it.

[valid trout]

yes

[brittle canyon]

pk1 has a 20 rounder just buy 1 and stick it

[nimble leaf]

behold my rat powers.

[nimble leaf]

goodness

and that's from this wipe?

[valid trout]

Yea

[nimble leaf]

lawd

[valid trout]

I didn’t play much lol

[nimble leaf]

pfft. that's more than my entire last wipe

well, not scavs

but pmcs give or take

[shy flint]

Can I just buy the 7.62x39 from prapor or is there different ammo I'm aiming for?

[short rapids]

anyone wanna help a little bambi learn how to walk in this game?

[shy flint]

That's me still learning

[valid trout]

Yes

[undone zenith]

which ammo is better: tcw sp or bcp fmj

[short rapids]

i dont know where to fin an extraction:/

[valid trout]

Bcp I think

[valid trout]

Map genie

[short rapids]

looked online and the maps dont help cause i have no clue where i am

[undone zenith]

idk whether 20 damage is worth not being able to pen t4

[short rapids]

ill try map genie

[undone zenith]

look for landmarks

[nimble leaf]

are the 30 round magazines for 762 a lv2 Prapor thing?

[valid trout]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov

[wet dew]

are these meds good

[valid trout]

Get a salwea or afak

Instead of car

[short rapids]

ty

[valid trout]

Or ifak even

[nimble leaf]

but car go vroom... escape tarkov faster

[brittle canyon]

needs a long duration pk

ibu/vase/etc

[undone zenith]

if ur gonna keep using a car then bring a bandage

the green ones

[shy flint]

xD do I just take a car in call it a day?

[valid trout]

Splint

[brittle canyon]

need bleed meds

and pk

[valid trout]

Yes

[brittle canyon]

paca doesn't do shit

[shy flint]

What's a pk and meds as in analgin?

[dry belfry]

Car in there is kind of a waste

[wet dew]

u just gonna bleed out before u can reach an extract

[brittle canyon]

you should have a vaseline

put that in ass

[dry belfry]

Just put a Salewa, PK, and Splint

[valid trout]

Just bring a cheese, normal pandange in ur pockets

#pvp-lfg

[brittle canyon]

bandage, CAT, cheese in pocket car in ass

[dry belfry]

My man

Doing gods work

[brittle canyon]

balaclava or cap to hide your shiny dome

[valid trout]

60 bullets a bit much isn’t it

[brittle canyon]

nah

[shy flint]

Idk is it?

[valid trout]

It’s exsessive

[shy flint]

Also what do you mean by put car in ass?

[valid trout]

He means the pouch

[wet dew]

Is customs bright enough to run night scav runs?

[open hedge]

interchange is the brightest night map

customs can get really dark

[brittle canyon]

depends on the moon phase

reserve night ain't bad

[undone zenith]

nah its fine

its not expensive ammo anyway

[wet dew]

I know 0 about reserve

[valid trout]

I don’t even use that much

I only use 20-40

[nimble leaf]

reserve is really good for finding decent ammo, or was last wipe

and mods

and dead pmcs cuz apparently that boss was broken

[shy flint]

Umm So cheese pack which I'm assuming is Ai-2, car in the pouch, bandage, and ammo

Did I get everything?

[undone zenith]

yeah thats if ur aim is good and u dont fight much

[open hedge]

reserve has a lot of 545 spawns so you can get a lot of that just by visiting K buildings

[undone zenith]

esmarch

[brittle canyon]

heavy bleed med

[undone zenith]

so u dont die of a heavy

[brittle canyon]

buy cat from pk not sausage

[rare niche]

Guess whom looted there first air drop

[valid trout]

I aim for head

[brittle canyon]

same price ish 2sec faster

[valid trout]

Ed ace h

Wtf did I say

[nimble leaf]

I found a lot of AP rounds, like MAI-AP and .338 AP in mags I picked up on reserve last wipe too.

of course... never got to use the .338 AP

[valid trout]

Esmarch* @shy flint

[undone zenith]

yeah and sometimes the gun misses

or u miss

and sometimes u get into an absolute moshpit

[nimble leaf]

but MAI-AP in an SKS was really nice.

[valid trout]

When I Sks run like that I avoid pmc

[open hedge]

the new 338 bolty is easier to get than the mjolnir so you may use some this wipe

[shy flint]

I got that cat

[valid trout]

I kill scav and hit hidden staches

[shy flint]

So... I guess I'm ready then?

[nimble leaf]

would be nice. there's a lot of guns I rarely to to try

[open hedge]

sks 35rd mag bp and some armor can violate people for relatively cheap

[nimble leaf]

only used the mutant once or twice last wipe for example

[valid trout]

I meant the kit that person sent in

[open hedge]

this was my go to chad gun last wipe

[brittle canyon]

mcx spear when

[valid trout]

🥵

[nimble leaf]

used UMP with AP and that carried me til I stopped about lv28

[open hedge]

would be nuts if the gun was portrayed realistically

[brittle canyon]

imagine untar with spears in Terminal

[nimble leaf]

that or a shotty with flechete cuz that was also dumb

never used the SCAR

[valid trout]

Wait till u use the .45acp vector

[nimble leaf]

I preferred the UMP to the Vector

[open hedge]

scar and mcx are my main weapons

[nimble leaf]

use a lot of 762 AKs

[open hedge]

i dont like 762x39 guns

prefer 545

[nimble leaf]

didn't have a lot of luck with smaller calibers, and couldn't get the good ammo for them so... didn't bother

hoping to do better this time around, don't think I'll ever be a PvP lord but, wanna at least have a 50+% surv rate by the end

[wet dew]

you think it would black someone's legs if they got hit by 5.45 13 times? i was a scav idk what ammo it was

[open hedge]

aspire tp be the best at it all

[open hedge]

asuming your scav had ps if all 13 rounds hit they should have died or been close to death

[nimble leaf]

yea you should've blown them away if you landed every shot

[valid trout]

Why

[open hedge]

ugly bullet

[nimble leaf]

I really really like 762

[valid trout]

What abt mutant

[nimble leaf]

feels nice, and when I land my shots they generally die

[open hedge]

mutant is the only 762x39 i like

[nimble leaf]

also had decent ammo for them

[open hedge]

762x39 is a ugly playstyle that doesnt sound or feel good

[nimble leaf]

it sounds violent

and you should always choose violence

[open hedge]

i like my guns being classy

matching colors good sound good looks

[nimble leaf]

I mean... I'd like classier guns but M855 hurts me to shoot

[valid trout]

Rd?

[shy flint]

So Skittles umm on this customs route you sent me... Are all circles potential spawn locations?

[open hedge]

its my fav Ak model other than the ak74n so ill probably be using it a bit

[valid trout]

Yes

[nimble leaf]

is that a new ker-pew pew machine?

[valid trout]

Yes

[spark cove]

I have moonshine a military power filter and an OScope, who should I sell them to?

im lvl 4

[nimble leaf]

hang onto all of those

[spark cove]

I died in raid with them tho

[nimble leaf]

oh

[wet dew]

lmao the sniper grip on it

[spark cove]

yeah big pipe on fucking woods

[nimble leaf]

hang onto the moonshine, can use for scav case

[spark cove]

one tapped me couldnt even see him

[valid trout]

LOL

[open hedge]

sniper grip?

[nimble leaf]

not sure about the oscope?

[brittle canyon]

that's a very long way ahead

[undone zenith]

best salewa spawns?

[brittle canyon]

sell all to thera

[brittle canyon]

hideout

[valid trout]

Yes 100% spawn in hideout

[nimble leaf]

that base on woods

[spark cove]

I figured id sell them since their not FIR but didnt know who was best to lvl that with

[valid trout]

Every 40min

[valid trout]

Therapist

[undone zenith]

dont have gen because i dont have mtape for security and i dont have pile of meds

[spark cove]

OHHHHHHHHH

I JUST REALIZED

[undone zenith]

theres a lot of fighting there and i usually die there

[wet dew]

i forgot what weapon its from but from what i recall its from a semi auto sniper rifle

[spark cove]

ILL JUST BUY MY SCAV CASE LOOOL

[brittle canyon]

well you run med spawns and either you get the salewa or you get the hideout mats for salewa

[nimble leaf]

I usually wait til the chads have moved on, is how I get my scav killing quests done

they all just kinda converge there

[undone zenith]

when the chads go away they take the salewas with them

[nimble leaf]

sometimes

[open hedge]

the foregrip is designed for heavy machine guns and the pistol grip is designed for Ak74 models so i dont know what you speak of

[nimble leaf]

scavs are unique, they need the blood more than the heals

*chads

[undone zenith]

i have never found anything of value there

but ig ill check since i have nothing else better to do

[nimble leaf]

but yea, if you can get a med station lv1, you can make salweas for cheap

[dry belfry]

That camp is loaded

[open hedge]

i need level 4 pk for the mcx suppresor

[nimble leaf]

is like... a car and some bandages?

[brittle canyon]

2 car 2 sausage

[nimble leaf]

oh yea super easy

[brittle canyon]

1 humpback for 1 car

so in total 6 humpbacks

[humble apex]

What is this for? Should I just sell

[brittle canyon]

keep

[valid trout]

Keep

[nimble leaf]

workbench crafts

hang onto

bleh... I can't get any factory matches today on my PMC

[humble apex]

okay, thought so but was just tryna make little bit more money to buy the Junk case

What about the pressure guage

and Kektape duct tape

[nimble leaf]

... how hard it to kill rogue, asking for friend

[valid trout]

It’s a barter for 60 round 545 mag ll2 prapor

[shy flint]

still too scared to load into customs solo. Even after watching a video. Time to find a friend.

[valid trout]

I’m expert

[nimble leaf]

I got an adar scav, time to learn

[valid trout]

They’re easy

Sim for head

Aim

[nimble leaf]

yea but aren't there like, machine gun ones?

[valid trout]

Yea

[open hedge]

that is based off the ak platform so obv the grip would work on both

[valid trout]

I have a secret on how to kill those

I ain’t saying

[wet dew]

that was just the only instance i've ever seen it used in

[valid trout]

🤓

[nimble leaf]

I assume it involves bullets

pew pew

[valid trout]

No it involves ur knife

[wet dew]

a wee bit of tomfoolery

[nimble leaf]

can you get on the roof?

[valid trout]

Yes

[nimble leaf]

guessing they're as janky as the raiders were on customs last wipe?

they get stuck on the machine guns and you can just doink em

[valid trout]

They can get off

[nimble leaf]

2scary5me

[valid trout]

This is one raid from rogues

[nimble leaf]

oooh well.

[valid trout]

I came in with a vpo with a pilaf

[nimble leaf]

I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna die this scav run, I have no idea what I'm doing... but best to learn.

[valid trout]

Pilad

[dry belfry]

What ammo did SR come with?

[brittle canyon]

lol 10 rounders

[valid trout]

I forgot LOL

[nimble leaf]

bebby pews

SR-25 was pretty fun when I had the chance to use it

[valid trout]

Oh yea

[open hedge]

sr25 can spawn with bcp now 🤮

[valid trout]

Bcp

[dry belfry]

That's why I ask 😦

[nimble leaf]

that makes me sad

so it's just a fancy vepr now?

[wet dew]

Looks like ap

[open hedge]

interchange scav moment

[valid trout]

Always have been

[nimble leaf]

I dunno, like I said... SRs I used were nice

[valid trout]

Do you just come in here to help like 2 ppl then flex LOL

[open hedge]

sr25 is the jack of all trades

[nimble leaf]

had low recoil, was pretty good at killing folks

[wet dew]

Bruhhh i never find any guns on interchange

[valid trout]

Yea

[nimble leaf]

you can find a ton of guns in the parking garage

lots of weapon boxes

lots of weapon boxes

and nobody goes underneath

[dry belfry]

He does enough lol

[wet dew]

I've never been down their lmao

[nimble leaf]

it's worth the look

[open hedge]

i never flex wym?

[nimble leaf]

rarely run into PMC down there

[dry belfry]

I was referring to the helping people part, but I take it back now

[nimble leaf]

and the route I use has about 6-10 weapon cases

[wet dew]

I always assumed it was like the idea and most a big empty space

[nimble leaf]

it's winding and large ye

[open hedge]

pmcs in garage are usually bad and easy to kill

[nimble leaf]

but there's stuff hidden everywhere

[misty ginkgo]

Yes, reeses love flexing - never helping in here

[open hedge]

hey im helpful usually

[misty ginkgo]

You’re right

[rare niche]

I have been having trouble finding cricket lighters does anyone know where they spawn

[nimble leaf]

yea... never had trouble hopping on pmc in the garage

[dry belfry]

Reese actually is a nice guy

[nimble leaf]

can't see down there, but my rat eyes are acclimated

[wet dew]

Coats and toolboxes

[nimble leaf]

are you just saying that because he's Senator Armstrong

[open hedge]

this actually made my day thank you

[nimble leaf]

and he's chock full of nanomachines, son

[misty ginkgo]

Reese saved me from a burning house 💪

[dry belfry]

Can confirm this

[wet dew]

@dry belfry what's the operator role?

[valid trout]

Yea lol

[dry belfry]

Wized livestreams his emergencies

[open hedge]

usefull and doesnt break rules

[dry belfry]

Nothing, basically

[rare niche]

Thxs

[open hedge]

id probably be operator if i didnt have 9 warnings

[misty ginkgo]

Only reason i don’t have operator.

I have 9 warnings 💀

[valid trout]

I deserve operator

[nimble leaf]

well... no lighthouse queues at this hour for me, guess I'll go interchange or reserve

[open hedge]

kwon says i fit all the requirements other than having a clean record

[misty ginkgo]

A payment role, 30€ a month

[dry belfry]

^

[misty ginkgo]

[wet dew]

@rare niche I've found about 3 this wipe checking coats on factory as scav, although you gotta check them fast them coats get checked quick

[brittle canyon]

guy who operates

[nimble leaf]

everyone lookin for that merin key

[valid trout]

Not anymore

[wet dew]

Forklift certified

[nimble leaf]

oh did merin get nerf

know airdrops did

[valid trout]

I don’t think the did

[nimble leaf]

when you get an airdrop full of beer and oatflakes you know the party is over

[valid trout]

Yes

[nimble leaf]

of the three I've looted, one was literally all backpacks.

[valid trout]

Bc it’s a food drop

[nimble leaf]

other two were all food

[valid trout]

Did you not see the different types of airdrops

[nimble leaf]

OOOHH no

[valid trout]

There’s 4 or5

[nimble leaf]

ahh okay that explains a bit

[valid trout]

Yea I got a lot of good stuff from the airdrop I looted

[wet dew]

Oh i only knew the colors mean different drops but i thought it was only 2 types

[nimble leaf]

lol ... this scav has M56a1

[valid trout]

I got a exfil helmet

[wet dew]

Good condition?

[valid trout]

I mean from airdrop

[nimble leaf]

spawned in the middle of the mall so I'm probably dead, but m56a1 means I got a fighting chance

[wet dew]

Everytime i do get in a fight in the mall its from always like at the othet end of the hall

[nimble leaf]

never mind got an impact nade let's go

[valid trout]

I’m going to bed

Good night

I have to research dna tmr morning

[nimble leaf]

night thank you for help and clarifying drops lol

[valid trout]

Amongus

[humble apex]

is there a quick move button/key? to transfer items to the container u have open

[open hedge]

no

[bold kernel]

Should I turn off head bob and max out fov?

[dry belfry]

Yes

[brittle canyon]

bob yes fov no

[dry belfry]

Although, do some research on FOV

[open hedge]

keep fov around 65

[dry belfry]

It has some adverse effects

But I've been running max fov for 2,5k hours

[open hedge]

65 fov is the middle ground between less visual recoil and better eye relief

its very nice

as far as i know 65 is the best for people that like higher fov

[misty ginkgo]

"But rengawr is running 62" 🤓

[open hedge]

ive never watched a tarkov streamer for anything other than drops

[static wasp]

How do I level up my scav karma thing

[valid trout]

Kill bosses and scavs as a scav

[dry belfry]

[valid trout]

Jk

[open hedge]

vehicle extracts killing pmcs and co op extracts are the best ways

[crisp nest]

you can have it with a warn

i lost mine on 2nd warn

called someone calling people ass at the game poor

[static wasp]

is it hard to level it up

[crisp nest]

because he had 20k roubles

[open hedge]

i have 11

[static wasp]

mine is -2.39 :/

[crisp nest]

noober

[open hedge]

oh dear lord

[static wasp]

I aint played this game in years lol

is that gonna be hard to get back up

[open hedge]

thats irreparable

[dry belfry]

Lol

[static wasp]

aw shit

[dry belfry]

Scav karma is not as big of a deal as people make it

And that's not low enough for AI scavs to shoot you, so it doesn't really matter

[open hedge]

this is true but the scav case is my favorite hideout item

[static wasp]

I know but dont you get better loot the better scav karma there is

[dry belfry]

I don't think that's really been confirmed

Like, from a practical standpoint

[open hedge]

that is confirmed

more rep = better gear

this was increased further this wipe

[dry belfry]

I understand that BSG said that, but I don't think there's verifiable proof yet that that's actually true

At least last wipe

And if it was true, it was marginal

I was -6 and still getting all the labs card, stims, whatever

[open hedge]

that was last wipe

[static wasp]

yikes lol

[open hedge]

as i said they changed it

[valid trout]

There a videos

[open hedge]

supposedly rep is more important now

[potent crater]

if me and a friend go labs how likely is it to be dead

[long crystal]

I love the forest camo Ratnik helmet

it's very aesthetically pleasing

[valid trout]

High if ur trash and don’t know the map and don’t have good ammo or gear

[potent crater]

as of 12.11 scav rep was insanely good

[potent crater]

wdym?

I mean getting a dead raid

[valid trout]

Oh I read it wrong

[valid trout]

Low

[potent crater]

ok

[valid trout]

Like very low

[potent crater]

would it be higher if we were solo

[dry belfry]

Like, lobbies have a minimum player count and "dead raids" are a fallacy

[potent crater]

because someone told me like 30% I Heard axel saying like 50% but his raids would be on eu servers which is why i was asking

[dry belfry]

That low

[potent crater]

Everyone I talked to was saying how you can get 0 player raids

like last wipe

and the wipe before

[open hedge]

nikita stated that labs is the only map that can only have 1 player on it iirc

[potent crater]

oh you can?

[valid trout]

No

[open hedge]

supposedly only on labs

[dry belfry]

Even if that were true

Which it may be

You'd never have anyway of knowing

How many players were/are in your raid

[valid trout]

You litteraly on wipe day ur first raid would have to be land for it to be dead

[dry belfry]

Long story short, your chances are minimal you're going to have a dead labs raid

[bold kernel]

Do you lose your red rebel ice pick if you place it inside of your knife spot

[valid trout]

No

[bold kernel]

so if i die with it i keep it

[valid trout]

Yes

But it will no long be found in raid

[bold kernel]

ok

[silk basin]

Hey y'all message me if you like to teach new players, I've gotten my feet wet with a few raids, looking for some 1 on 1 coaching and pro tips

[open hedge]

best bet is a sherpa

we love to help but not 1 on 1

those guys do the real teaching

How do i use flashlight in game

got a wep on scav with one attached

[regal mango]

T

[nimble leaf]

put 4 flashlights on the end of a gun, become a walking floodlamp

[whole mauve]

What max trader i get at 39?

[open hedge]

you can just check that you know

[whole mauve]

Not on PC

[open hedge]

you get skier at 38 and they are never 1 level ahead of eachother

so id say nobody

[whole mauve]

40 mechanic then

Alr

[cinder lava]

ok if I do barter on flea is the item I receive found in raid to?

[open hedge]

mechanic is 40 and ragman 42

[whole mauve]

No

[alpine harness]

what should i sell rb-pkpm for

[open hedge]

if thats the marked key im thinking of you can trade it for many things as it is the rarest reserve marked key and is needed for the dorms marked trade

[alpine harness]

do you think i could trade it for a weapons case and a mag case

[open hedge]

probably not a weapons case as thats very unconventional

mag case maybe

[fervent warren]

Anyone wanna help 2 new players out who just started, we dont know what we are doing

[open hedge]

this is why you dont cheap out on helmets

[fathom ocean]

no that’s why you don’t wear helmets

[open hedge]

wear helmets

a class 4 helmet would have stopped that

[fathom ocean]

unfortunate

[pale elm]

legit fuck nikita, he strengthen the limit on calok B from 5 to 3 and increased the price from 7k to 14k

[limber zinc]

After getting penned by m80 in an altyn countless times, i can assure you helmets are a scam

[open hedge]

its been 3 for like 2 and a half years

[pale elm]

@open hedge it was 5 or 7 two days ago

[limber zinc]

Huhhhh

[open hedge]

no it was not

[clear flume]

i dont think so mate

[pale elm]

it was believe it or not, my memory doesnt lie

[open hedge]

bruh

[limber zinc]

bruh

[open hedge]

calok B has been 3 uses for years

[clear flume]

its true because i think it is

[pale elm]

yeah sure man keep sucking his dick, how bout the price increase, double the original price

[clear flume]

damn
going straight for me

[open hedge]

damn i guess i just know nothing about this game

[clear flume]

noob numbers

[limber zinc]

Literally downloaded 2 days ago shit player

[minor tinsel]

don't know if anyone corrected you on that but i ve spawned on factory as a scav MULTIPLE times between minute 17 to 18 (so like ~2 mins after the start of the raid)

[dire monolith]

are you dumb he has 2000 hours you cant have 2000 hours in 2 days bro

[limber zinc]

🤖

It’s the metric system measurement not that American bullshit

[placid saddle]

[shy flint]

Ahhh I'm malding. Why do I not aim for the head? I'm such a baka

[oblique ruin]

was 5 last wipe

[mint light]

bro said that unironically

[oblique ruin]

ik that since i ran outta caloks 24/7 so i just bought the limit everytime therapist resotcked

we dormin'

daddy needs his flashdrives

[brittle canyon]

no nade

[oblique ruin]

fuck nades

[brittle canyon]

in russia nades fuck you

[oblique ruin]

also tf am i doing here i thought this was #beginners-chat

[ocean fable]

I can confirm that Calok B was 3 uses last wipe not 5.

[brittle canyon]

it should be 1 all things considered

[open hedge]

It’s been 3 for as long as I’ve played

Which has been a while

[open hedge]

No

[brittle canyon]

it was always 3

it's a single use syringe full of funny goop

[open hedge]

Nah

It’s magic

[brittle canyon]

yah

[open hedge]

I don’t want to carry a grizzly just to fix more than 1 bleed with a single item

[brittle canyon]

nah it's Celox it comes in like bandages and gauzes and shit

or just little sauce packets you tear

[oblique ruin]

Im not talking about uses

im talking about buy limit from therapist

[brittle canyon]

cat and esmarch can be multiuse

[ocean fable]

rip. I didnt even notice the buy amount was reduced to 3

[frank schooner]

Anyone know why tarkov causes my discord to shit the bed every raid? new issue for me as of the wipe.

problem seems specific to customs and reserves

[brittle canyon]

you could say that these programs are being very discordant with eachother

[open hedge]

Could be a performance issue

[brittle canyon]

could be a skill issue

[plucky latch]

Any chance someone could help me on woods? I need to get to jaegers camp for the mechanic quest but i keep getting ganked by 2 man squads on the way, i've lost like 3 loadouts already

[bold kernel]

does pipe not drop grenade launcher i just killed them both and got dodo loot?

[lapis kayak]

yo did they change the stylish one requirements i completed key to success and i dont have the task

[bold kernel]

had some shit shotgun instead

[lapis kayak]

its no 100% drop

[bold kernel]

welp i guess im the most unlucky person in the world lol

or they changed it

[lapis kayak]

its a pretty rare drop

[bold kernel]

every video ive seen on they drop grenade launcher for how aids it is to find them and kill them loot should be better

its basically good rouge loot

[lapis kayak]

ye hella armor tho

too op if he droped it every time

[bold kernel]

i didnt even have a backpack so i couldnt take both armor sets so sad

[olive oracle]

is delivery from the past bugged at all? I grabbed the folder and extracted but it was gone when I went to factory and now I have to go grab it again

[brittle canyon]

it's a quest item that stays in the quest item inventory

[olive oracle]

ik and its not there

[brittle canyon]

if u die in another map you lose it

[olive oracle]

what

has it always been like that?

[frank schooner]

yes

[lapis kayak]

yo bob

[ruby ermine]

so has 5.56 got a buff?

[subtle mica]

wait so there are only 2 always open extracts on customs for pmcs?

[ruby ermine]

wym

[clear flume]

no?

[fathom ocean]

did you die with it in your quest inventory?

[brittle canyon]

he did

[olive oracle]

yeah i didnt know u have to go back to customs and grab it again if u die at factory with it

[fathom ocean]

yeah I get that shit then do a 5 man factory

[brittle canyon]

they reduced the timer to 10 sec

just bumrush breakroom and plant it and now you can die

[fathom ocean]

some dumbass tked me when I had it in my quest inventory

can’t stand running with 5 people bruh

[bold kernel]

how viable is the Kalashnikov AKM 7.62x39 at lvl 15 with the ps ammo

[brittle canyon]

good

run it often while it's good

[bold kernel]

heck yeah, im looking for a budget full auto weapon

was also thinking of running ump for CQC

[brittle canyon]

it's a gimmick

[bold kernel]

the ump ?

[woeful spruce]

the ump is good, managable recoil and while the penetration of the common fmj round is pretty bad and you should go for headshots it can destroy low grade lvl 4 armors relatively quickly and also has pretty crazy flesh damage so its good for scavs and shooting limbs

[mint light]

full legal name

[fathom ocean]

💀

mans could’ve just said akm

[remote kettle]

You know you fucked up when mom refers to you by your full name

[mint light]

my mom dont be yelling at me

im a good child

[fathom ocean]

not one good person plays tarkov

we all hate ourselves

[quasi salmon]

Would anyone be willing to play with a new player and teach me some stuff?

[bold kernel]

lmao i just copy pasted it from the wiki since i got proper lvl 2

[bold kernel]

the lvl 4 armor dies to the fmj ammo quickly or other ammo?

[woeful spruce]

of course AP ammo is best

fmj does not penetrate lvl 4

but on stuff like rat rig or other scav tier class 4s it can decrease their durability fast enought to punch through and be efective after a couple of hits

[mint light]

wither it down

[reef spoke]

The website " Tarkov ballistics " has a damage calculator that tells you how many shots to 85 damage , hover over the armor classes to see the range of shots since not all class 4 armor is the same

[thorn mirage]

what should i trade san tape for?

[brittle canyon]

a tape

[bold kernel]

awesome, thanks everyone for the replies!. I didnt know different lvl 4 armor behave differentely

[mint light]

all armor does because they each have their own durability and material

ceramic is the worst polyethylene is the best

technically glass is the worst but thats only on visors

[bold kernel]

so, would it be a bad idea to bring ump with bad ammo since i dont have AP yet. I would mostly be doing it for fun

I don't know what the efficient/meta weapon is at level 15 using my traders

[mint light]

fmj might work at this point in wipe

[bold kernel]

right now i run vpo 136 with PS ammo and i still do well

[clear flume]

vpo 136 slaps

[bold kernel]

awesome, ill probably do that. UMP looks and sounds fun

i want to shred some chests

also, how many mags should i bring? I saw streamers bring like 5-6.

[thorn mirage]

i thing fmj is doable early ammo you prolly couldnt afford running .45 AP

shit costs like 75k per 100 bullets

and u can only buy 100 per reset

i usually take ump with two AP mags two fmj and 100 extra fmjs

[bold kernel]

that does sound expensive at 75k

[bold kernel]

so 4 mags in the vest?

[thorn mirage]

one loaded 3 in the vest

u need to full auto with ump so 4 mags are reasonable for a fight

especially 1v2 or 1v3

[marsh bear]

Why Croutons fee is so high?

[marsh harbor]

all flea fees are now high

[bold kernel]

selling the flea not worth it?

[fathom ocean]

for certain items

[plucky latch]

okay i really need a guide for woods

like holy shit this map has no landmarks

[clear flume]

it has tons?

[plucky latch]

i keep spawning in the middle of nowhere

[bold kernel]

if you keep running it you get used to it

the worst one is when you spanw in the middle of trees

[plucky latch]

cant tell which random group of houses im running up on

[bold kernel]

a little trick if you're pmc, look at the extracs

[plucky latch]

i just need to find jaegers camp

[bold kernel]

you usually get the opposite side extract, so you know you spawned in the middle of the left side if you have uf roadbloack for example

[plucky latch]

i did it once but died before i could get out with the data ;-;

ive wasted so much money trying to do this quest

im out of armor and helmets completely xD

[bold kernel]

If you're in EU, i can run it with you

[plucky latch]

na

[bold kernel]

dang it

[plucky latch]

i should put that in my name

[bold kernel]

go to the LFG channel and ask for help, there is always someone willing to help

[plucky latch]

no response there so far

big rip

[bold kernel]

What is the current meta progression for lvl 15? It used to be RFB with m80 before it got moved.

[tawdry ridge]

guys I just started what should I do?

[fathom ocean]

watch youtube

[tawdry ridge]

alright

[fathom ocean]

vertias got some fire videos watch his recent guides

[tawdry ridge]

I'll check that out

btw I heard that there will be a wipe soon is that true?

[reef spoke]

Folks are expecting a quick wipe based on economy progression, but it is 100% speculation

[woeful spruce]

no, the wipe has happened less than 2 weeks ago

[gentle gull]

lol we just had one

[tawdry ridge]

Oh alright

[woeful spruce]

next wipe should be around december if the current rate of releasing wipes is kept up

[tawdry ridge]

oh nice

[mint light]

nah he wack

[knotty palm]

does the new lighthouse have good loot?

[rain falcon]

anyone wanna play? o.0 lvl 9 and new

[slim hearth]

can annyone help with the health care privacy part 2 quest cause I don't have the key

?

[lapis kayak]

yo did they change the stylish one requirements i completed key to success and i dont have the task

[woeful spruce]

you cant enter the lighthouse itself its got mines around but the buildings on the island are pretty good, lots of toolboxes and weaponboxes

[jaunty panther]

I don’t understand how to fight someone when they have you pinned down and are holding an angle

Like if I peak to try and kill them im gonna die bc they have the angle

[marsh harbor]

grenades

[knotty palm]

ight

[hollow sandal]

you relocate when it’s possible and either run or rotate on them

if someone has an angle you have to rotate out of said angle

[pale elm]

are these masks required for kappa?

[smoky moth]

nope

[pale elm]

kool

[dense pagoda]

so in 40 hours this will make 3 btc?

[icy fable]

it'll make 1 btc, and it stores up to 3

[dense pagoda]

wow ngl that fucking sucks lol

gas is like 3x more expensive then i will make

[kindred grotto]

i mean you have 1 gpu in it lol

[dense pagoda]

yea ik lol i just wanted to test it out

if i got the full 10 would i be making decent profit?

lol spawned with boss cap as a scav

[split dagger]

Depends on the price of btc

There is probably a guide on it on YouTube already

[signal shoal]

Yo has anyones elses gamma just gotten deleted or some shit bc mine did with everyone on it im mad fucking confused

[split dagger]

But generally speaking if you find 10 gpus and die with them you cant really do much

So it's profitable

[split dagger]

Have you tried contacting bsg?

[kindred grotto]

https://youtu.be/n7WoSRZYAsc

[signal shoal]

I have but im just seeing if its happened to anyone else man bc i was just boutta do my first run on labs lol

This is my 2nd wipe i joined like half way through last wipe

[split dagger]

Your container is just gone?

[signal shoal]

Yep

game crashed then it just

went

[split dagger]

Contact bsg

[icy fable]

panik

[signal shoal]

Yeah i have i hope they respond soon how long do they normally take?

[icy fable]

yeah, contact bsg with as much info as possible

[icy fable]

prey, they are notorious for taking a while to respond while in early wipe

[signal shoal]

I sent them logs n shit everything with a whole ass paragraph lmfao

Bruhhh dammit

I aint gonna play till i get my gamma back prob bc it had all my keys in it

[split dagger]

Depends on the situation but if its a global issue it would probably take longer

But if it just happened to you it should be fast

[signal shoal]

Do u think they give compensation at all? bc like i dont care if they dont i jsut want my gamma back but i feel like i should get a couple rubles or some shit lol
