[flint crystal]

Which ones wiki only says I need factory kills

[bold kernel]

but its a quest key

[civic spade]

its a quest key

[bold kernel]

for what quest

[pallid kernel]

great, i got it from that scav in factory

[civic spade]

when you have flea you can buy it for next to nothing, but it might be awhile before you get it.

[pallid kernel]

that i killed with like 2hp on everything

i might just quit using guns at this point

[flint crystal]

Shturman I wanna use new bolt action

[bold kernel]

??

to get the quest u have to progress through the huntsman path questline

[civic spade]

i personally had to find a gun with clear iron sights that i could actually kill people with, for me that was the SKS from prapor.

[pallid kernel]

thats like 20k

[bold kernel]

cheap tbf

[civic spade]

wont get much cheaper for something that can effectively reach out

[bold kernel]

even if ur new thats cheap

[civic spade]

1 scav raid can buy you like 5 sks

[bold kernel]

yes

[flint crystal]

Ok I wasn’t doing that lmao

[bold kernel]

yea the first one is to kill reshala then i think u get shturman

[pallid kernel]

should i use those in my "real" raids since i have a few ak 74s still

[bold kernel]

rule 1

never use baby aks

[pallid kernel]

baby aks?

[ripe sky]

anybody want to help me with secured perimeter

[civic spade]

stock AK

[pallid kernel]

is 74m a baby

[bold kernel]

the short barrel collapsable stock ones

[pallid kernel]

ah

[bold kernel]

aks74

aks74u etc

theyre just bad

[pallid kernel]

yea i dont even have those

[rancid nova]

this a player right ?

[bold kernel]

yes

[civic spade]

yes

[rancid nova]

cool

[bold kernel]

if u can report its a player

[rancid nova]

silenced shot from like 300 meter nice

[pallid kernel]

is weapon repair kit valuable?

[bold kernel]

or u just got 1tapped and couldnt hear it

[civic spade]

yeah 7.62x54 is sniper rifle bullet

[bold kernel]

armor yes weapon no

[rancid nova]

not per slot, armor is tho

[pallid kernel]

what about a damaged hdd and a horse figure

those any good?

[civic spade]

good to vendor to therapist if your hurting on money

[bold kernel]

not really but just pick them up

[civic spade]

but not high in value

[bold kernel]

money!!!!!!!!!@

[pallid kernel]

how to know if something is really valuable?

[civic spade]

literally just time in the game sadly thats the most clear way

[bold kernel]

u cant really

yea

for example u see tech stuff that doesnt look broken/would be valuable irl

[civic spade]

good rule of thumb, if the background of the item is purple that means its a streamer item and they have high vendor prices

[bold kernel]

this for example

very money

[civic spade]

yes

[pallid kernel]

so a PGW is good then?

[bold kernel]

yes

80k~

[civic spade]

[pallid kernel]

thats about the only purple thing i have

apart from backpacks

[bold kernel]

u can sell it its useless

[pallid kernel]

sell it to who?

[bold kernel]

therapist

[civic spade]

depends on the item but usually therapist will give you the best general offers

[pallid kernel]

83k what

[bold kernel]

yea stupid shit is usually expensive

[civic spade]

mechanic wants gunparts and flashlights peacekeeper wants tech/information related items ragman likes clothes, that kinda thing

[pallid kernel]

she gives 83k for a shitty wrench

[bold kernel]

kek tape is a good example

wait a minute

how did that guy above delete everything he had?

[pallid kernel]

i now have more money than i started the game with

from that wrench

[civic spade]

by being childish lol

[pallid kernel]

alone

[bold kernel]

The guy with discarded 2.1mil

[bold kernel]

how could he do that?

delete

does he have to do it 1 by 1?

yes

[civic spade]

hover over an item and hit the delete key

[bold kernel]

and he did that for everything?

yes

lmao

why?

(dumb)

(mad)

[pallid kernel]

what

[civic spade]

in raid if you hover an item and hit delete it'll throw it on the ground, you can overlap that with other animations to save time. in your stash it functions as an actual delete

[bold kernel]

(child)

da

[chrome umbra]

i use tarkov market while i’m playing if i need to know. tells you if that item can be used in quests/crafting too

[pallid kernel]

i thought he pressed a delete all button or something

thats plain stupid

[bold kernel]

wish there was one

[civic spade]

no he deleted every individual item

[hot ravine]

Guys could anyone get me the MIAD pistol from peacekeeper 3 ?

[bold kernel]

miad?

[pallid kernel]

ok ty

[bold kernel]

so wait, he thought we would be dropping the items somehow? he must have known that his items would disappear it even says so

[hot ravine]

yeah

[bold kernel]

dont think theres

one called miad

[civic spade]

no he did it on purpose

[bold kernel]

what a pfp lol

oh the grip

[bold kernel]

wow

yea sure

[civic spade]

he just raged out cause the game was to hard for him

happens

[bold kernel]

this one?@hot ravine

[pallid kernel]

what should i do with all my found in raid knives?

[bold kernel]

hahaha, hmmm, maybe I should do that too

i would

[bold kernel]

I usually sell them but some can be used to barter

[bold kernel]

sell to jager if u have him already

[civic spade]

7 knives can barter for a mp5 or sell them to jeager.

[pallid kernel]

oof

[hot ravine]

Yes pls

[bold kernel]

yh sure

you eu?

[hot ravine]

Germany

[bold kernel]

ait

u just wanna go into factory and get out instantly

or

[hot ravine]

Yeah that could do

[bold kernel]

gib name

[hot ravine]

dj_soli

factory night

[pallid kernel]

is there anything i can do to not die in the first 5min of a raid

[bold kernel]

yes

[bold kernel]

Had the same problem

many things such as

I still do

-dont play factory

HAHAHA

[civic spade]

lmao

[pallid kernel]

i specifically need to go to woods

and not get hit in the head

[bold kernel]

u europe

[pallid kernel]

yes

[bold kernel]

i could go wit u

what do you have to do specifically

[pallid kernel]

i need to survive with the jaegers note

[bold kernel]

not tragic

[pallid kernel]

ive been doing night woods so far

[bold kernel]

yea after i give this guy the grip i could go

[pallid kernel]

with a hatchet

[bold kernel]

i can bring you a gun or something if u want

[hot ravine]

Guess we will stuck in matchmaking for ever

[pallid kernel]

nah i have guns i just know ill lose em

[bold kernel]

servers exploded again gg

[bold kernel]

gear fear no. 1

[pallid kernel]

its not gear fear

[bold kernel]

on top!!

[bold kernel]

I brought a shotgun

[pallid kernel]

its just logical

[bold kernel]

It worked

[civic spade]

thats gear fear

[bold kernel]

yes

I suggest you go to the plane after the 20 minute mark

or we rush it

instantly

both work :sultan

[civic spade]

i had the literal same thought process when i was new

[pallid kernel]

im not afraid to lose stuff, but its pointless to bring guns to woods cuz i know ill not be able to use em

i bring my best gear to customs

[bold kernel]

i will assist

in that case

[civic spade]

but using the guns is how you level up your recoil control, your tact drills, your mag drills, thats how you build mastery level with guns so that they perform better for you

[bold kernel]

finally holy shit

[pallid kernel]

i imagine i dont get skill for getting hit in the head by a guy i dont see

[civic spade]

you do

stress resistance, and health level up everytime you get shot or break bones

you should read through the skills.

[pallid kernel]

i know some of em

metabolism is my fav

[hot ravine]

Thx dude u helped me a lot @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

Guys how do I use my compass and the 2nd spec tool?

I gotta know

what button

[civic spade]

do you have the compass

its an item you equip on your pmc in the special slots

[shrewd bane]

what map has the most/ a lot of industrial loot?

[bold kernel]

brotherman

i just killed someone with a ryst and full gen4

[hot ravine]

Lol gg

[rancid nova]

you gotta bind it to 4,5,6,7,8,9 like other pockets or rig keybinds

[bold kernel]

oh ok

[bold kernel]

isnt it U anymore

[hot ravine]

Does completing gunsmith 5 with flea worth it ?

[kindred grotto]

no

[pallid kernel]

does stuff like respirator and gas masks do anything?

[rancid nova]

no

[rancid nova]

no not yet

[bold kernel]

respirators are for a quest

[rancid nova]

yea resp found in raid for quest

[pallid kernel]

i have one

[rancid nova]

but i think they have plans for future, gas, radiation etc

[bold kernel]

3 if im not mistaken

[rancid nova]

you need 4 i think

[pallid kernel]

what about glasses and face masks

[rancid nova]

most no

but there is lvl 1 armor glass

[pallid kernel]

yea face shields

[civic spade]

right click and inspect the items lol

[rancid nova]

havent seen better

no i meant glasses

[civic spade]

glasses have literal stats on them

[rancid nova]

lvl 1 armor

[pallid kernel]

what

[rancid nova]

some glasses help reduce flashbang

[pallid kernel]

i imagine those are expensive

[civic spade]

shaded sunglasses reduce flashbang effects

[rancid nova]

just inspect

no they are not

but i wouldnt buy them

[civic spade]

crossbows have an insane reflection chance and can deflect bullets

[pallid kernel]

oh yea i have RayBench glasses and it says 25% reduction

to flash effects

[civic spade]

yep

[pallid kernel]

what to do with dog tags?

[civic spade]

inspecting things is very helpful

[bold kernel]

keep for quests

[kindred grotto]

Dont use those glasses btw

[civic spade]

barter items/quests

[pallid kernel]

ok

i have a lvl 14 dog tag

[bold kernel]

yea if ur in fog theyre like a flashlight on ur head

for some reason

[cobalt escarp]

Who has the best settings for interchange? its too hard to see anything inside

[cedar current]

do we actually escape tarkov at some point or is the brochure misleading

[kindred grotto]

There is no escape.

[civic spade]

when you extract a raid thats you escaping

[cedar current]

gottcha

[inner grove]

guys, a friend of mine in Singapore can not purchase tarkov on website. Paypal, wechat and visa all denied. Any idea how to get around this

[bold kernel]

use 100 brightness 100 contrast 100 intensity montreal

rest is up to you

[pallid kernel]

i also have anti fragmentation glasses but it doesnt say anything about actually protecting me

[bold kernel]

yea theyre just cosmetic

[pallid kernel]

ah

ok

[bold kernel]

ion think they support other regions that oce eu and na

[civic spade]

if it doesnt have actual visible stats it most likely doesnt do anything other than look cool

[bold kernel]

might be wrong

oh they do support asia

idk probably issues on his end then

[civic spade]

sometimes you need to read the actual description of the item to see what small effects it might have as well

[kindred grotto]

I mean asia has the most people so it would be dumb not to suppot asia lol

[bold kernel]

i never do that because im too good

[inner grove]

that is weird, he is totally fine with other game payment

[bold kernel]

idk keep in mind bsg is bsg

[pallid kernel]

ok

[drowsy notch]

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong for gunsmith 11?

[bold kernel]

good lord

[civic spade]

jesus

[pallid kernel]

wha..

[bold kernel]

nice tec9

bro

[civic spade]

bro pullin out the strap on us

[pallid kernel]

that looks like something from a sci fi movie

[bold kernel]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Gunsmith_-_Part_11

[civic spade]

looks like a star wars blaster

[bold kernel]

this glock finna give you a clue

[drowsy notch]

yeah ik, I followed every step, is their a durabilty requirment>

[pallid kernel]

should i pick up random gun parts i find?

[bold kernel]

u did not follow the steps at all

[civic spade]

bro

what steps did you follow

[bold kernel]

does this look like urs

[civic spade]

i was just about to send that same picture lmao

[drowsy notch]

Kinda? I send a screenshot above

[civic spade]

not even close

[bold kernel]

close!

[civic spade]

literally not even close baby

it has to be exactly the same

[drowsy notch]

Is there no way around that exact build? Money is tight and I'm tryna be creative

[bold kernel]

u are trolling

I just got shot from somewhere, don't know where. When is Tarkov getting a spectator mode or just a simple replay?

deadass

[civic spade]

lolol

[pallid kernel]

creative is one word to put it

[bold kernel]

n

[civic spade]

hes trolling

[bold kernel]

u gotta live with it

thinking about how he killed u

the entire day

the feeling never goes away

wdym I don't even know from where

[kindred grotto]

eventually

[bold kernel]

exactly

[drowsy notch]

Can you atleast answer my question

[bold kernel]

no

it would be better if I knew so I could better my game

[drowsy notch]

instead of calling me a troll?

[bold kernel]

u either build that or u dont build

[pallid kernel]

you are the npc in this simulation

[civic spade]

we did.. follow the guide.

[drowsy notch]

Unhelpful channel smh

[civic spade]

actually follow the guide.

not "creatively" follow the guide.

it has a set list of parts and requirements it needs.

[bold kernel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/971837265779257437/997469344042856448/unknown.png

💀

[pallid kernel]

nah fr tarkov makes me feel like a random npc

[bold kernel]

me too, gosh

[pallid kernel]

im just there to be killed

[kindred grotto]

I mean there is usually space for variations, but it's not getting any cheaper

[bold kernel]

every street in na

[drowsy notch]

there is no way I have to follow every exact step, there has to be other ways

[civic spade]

okay

[bold kernel]

there are no other ways

[kindred grotto]

There is, wiki it

[kindred grotto]

there is diffrent builds to finish gunsmiths

[bold kernel]

u build the gun as shown or u dont build it at all

[civic spade]

he did, he "followed the steps" but missed like 7 parts lol

and expects us to be able to fix the problem

[bold kernel]

yea i didnt notice the monstrosity of a fucking scope

in his build though

[civic spade]

it slike 416 said, either you follow the build or dont build it at all tbh you really gotta know what your doing to get around the wiki.

[bold kernel]

requires many skills to follow a guide

[civic spade]

nah i mean you gotta know what your doing to build it properly WITHOUT the guide.

[bold kernel]

yes

[drowsy notch]

thats why I came to the assistance chat... for assistance

[bold kernel]

ok we provided go follow the guide

[civic spade]

the best advice i can give you is dont deviate from the wiki builds man

[drowsy notch]

I mean it is close enough, I think maybe having the loaded 60 is affecting it

imma go unload it rn

[bold kernel]

ok u do u

[civic spade]

im pretty sure you're missing an entire buttstock on that thing

had the wrong suppressor

missing the lazer

wrong optic

[drowsy notch]

no I got it

[drowsy notch]

nah it said it was all good

[civic spade]

it was all good without a buttstock?

[bold kernel]

💀

[drowsy notch]

yeah, I need to reach the ergo requirment

and it does that

and it barely is under 200 recoil

so it's all good

[civic spade]

kk

whatever works then

[pallid kernel]

well, another unsuccessful raid

got the jaeger note and got killed by scavs

[civic spade]

your running around without a gun or a way to defend yourself still?

[pallid kernel]

why is the only extract outskirts

thats so far

from the plane

[pallid kernel]

i run a hatchet

even if i had a gun i would have died

2 scavs with highground advantage

[civic spade]

yeah then expect to keep getting killed by scavs lol. if you dont have armor/gun/rig or one of the three your tagged a cursed.

even if you arent tagged and cursed how do you expect to live without a gun

[pallid kernel]

just rush extract and pray to god

i guess

also i have defended myself with a hatchet more times than with a gun

[bold kernel]

gunsmith

[civic spade]

you should pick a firearm you feel half way decent about (for me early its the SKS) bite the bullet and practice insure your SKS it'll come back to you. no one is looting SKS. run scavs to help your money stay positive

[pallid kernel]

why would you not loot a sks

[civic spade]

because people have better options

[pallid kernel]

people took my pp 19-01s and left the mags

[civic spade]

happens

[narrow gull]

because 5 packs of bolts is much more valuable that a single sks

[civic spade]

player scav prolly stripper your body

[pallid kernel]

why would he leave 2 full mags tho

[civic spade]

because mags arent worth carrying if his goal was to vendor your gun off

experienced players have a rule of thumb, 10k roubles per slot it takes.

if its a 2 slot mag, that mag alone needs to be worth 20k

otherwise its not worth the space on your body

[pallid kernel]

makes sense

still im mad that he took the gun

even tho i dont like that gun anyway

[civic spade]

all gear comes and goes.

ive lost T7 thermals that literally sould for 16 million

shit happens, move on

[pallid kernel]

i dont miss the gun im just mad he didnt take mags

i dont need those mags

[shell hawk]

Assume everything you have is merely loaned to you by tarkov to be taken back at an undetermined time

[civic spade]

this

[pallid kernel]

im not mad i lost it

[shell hawk]

And with regard to just taking a hatchet. Tagged and cursed means every scav within around 400ms. Can smell you. Will run at you. And will continually chase you

[pallid kernel]

what to do with those mags

[shell hawk]

Just buy an SKS from prapor

Sell the mags if you arent going to buy a gun that fits them.

If you arent going to use it. Sell it. Simple

[civic spade]

literally just vendor them if you arent using them

[pallid kernel]

does a pp 19 01 mag only fit the pp 19 01?

its a stupid question

but i ask

[shell hawk]

I would imagine so yes.

[civic spade]

liquidate everything that you arent actively using. you can turn the funds into the gear you want.

[shell hawk]

Its also cheap as shit

[warm minnow]

Can I grind nutrition xp by eating things like condensed milk and rehydrating while in the hideout? I have a bunch of random food saved up and was wondering...

[pallid kernel]

i dont really know what i want

[shell hawk]

Yes. You gain xp in that skill in hideout now

[shell hawk]

If you arent going to use it within the next 48 hours. Sell it.

[pallid kernel]

i want to not die every raid

[warm minnow]

sweet thanks

[civic spade]

turn everything you arent actually going to use within the next few days into cash

[shell hawk]

^^ I did that for my first wipe

[civic spade]

the cash takes up less space and sitting on gear you arent gonna use isnt helping

[pallid kernel]

what to do with the hundreds of pst gzh bullets i have?

[shell hawk]

Shit ammo. Sell.

[pallid kernel]

do i sell now or when i need space/money?

[shell hawk]

Sell now. No point taking up space for no reason. Especially if youre not EOD

Stash fills up QUICK

[civic spade]

sounds like now is your best bet.

[pallid kernel]

which trader?

[civic spade]

just take a look at which one offers you the best man

[shell hawk]

One you need money up with

Mechanic probably.

Prapor goes up from insurance.

Therapist takes literally anything, dirty girl. Jaeger can be tough so maybe him but I dont think he buys pistol bullets

Skiier can be a pain too but you'll work it out

[civic spade]

mechanic likes mags and bullets, therapist likes general items and meds, skier likes weapon parts, peacekeeper likes intelligence items and jeager likes food

[shell hawk]

Jaeger literally CANT stop eating. He also likes long walks on the shoreline and day trips to the spa

Oh and sniper rifles. He LOVES snipers

[civic spade]

^

[pallid kernel]

good thing i dont have him yet

[civic spade]

prapor will low ball you on every offer

[pallid kernel]

i imagine ill get lucky once

and extract with his note

[shell hawk]

LIterally buy an SKS from prapor.

And just run

[bold kernel]

These keys, do they spawn regularly or are only lootable if you have a quest active?

[civic spade]

regularly

[bold kernel]

ok

thx

[civic spade]

those are static spawns

[bold kernel]

i am trying to find 206 dorm room

[pallid kernel]

i feel like thats just giving away a new sks

[bold kernel]

and the customs office key

[shell hawk]

Its LITERALLY 20k from prapor, nobody is going to pick it up.

[shell hawk]

I feel like this is a little...optimistic. Rarely maybe 😉

[civic spade]

tru

[pallid kernel]

is it worth repairing pacas

[shell hawk]

Not really

[civic spade]

ehh not really

[shell hawk]

But also sometimes yes

[civic spade]

the problem with repairing a paca isnt the pricing.

[pallid kernel]

i have one 3/50

[shell hawk]

They repair very poorly.

Kinda more one and done

[civic spade]

when you reduce the max HP of an armor you're effectively lowering its armor value.

so a level 3 is only as effective as a level 2.

[pallid kernel]

im aware that armor material matters in both effective durability and repair price

watched a yt video

[shell hawk]

Then you answered your own question 🙂

[civic spade]

[pallid kernel]

but im missing experience

im just aware that a system exists

but dont know whats good or not

yaknow

[civic spade]

would you like me to take you through woods?

[pallid kernel]

sure

do i buy a sks?

for this mission

[civic spade]

im in LFG beginners #10

[pallid kernel]

oh god there is a lot of channels

[civic spade]

booting up the laptop now

bout to guide you through woods on a track pad

[shell hawk]

Wait FR? Lmao

[vague ferry]

Yall mind if I jump in on woods with you? Need to grab the letter for Jaeger

[civic spade]

sure sure

[shell hawk]

Sure we're on Eu servers

[civic spade]

if i DC from your servers just carry on btw i am NA so i might get kicked but fk it

[vague ferry]

Same here

[civic spade]

im gonna use the SKS as a proof of concept for ZWeKy

[whole thistle]

You get kicked at 200 ping now

[civic spade]

yeah i might get kicked then, but if so its fine. the new player can just take my kit

central

[lucid elk]

Hello, I'm new to the server and and EFT. I'm looking for someone who is willing to play with a newb and help me out a little. Is this the right spot?

[civic spade]

This is the correct spot but im currently helping 2 people already

im sure you can find someone here!

if not, i'll hit you up later

[lucid elk]

I appreciate it

Do you know about any other channels I can check out?

[civic spade]

beginners-chat

or looking for group

[whole thistle]

The beginner lfg voice chats

[civic spade]

that as well

[lucid elk]

Ok thanks for the help

[civic spade]

@pallid kernel Gear fear if the #1 killer of progression, and i dont mean account progression i mean personal improvements.

you do

[crystal oracle]

Good SR-25 build?

Wanna make one

[edgy elbow]

for farming - part 1 do you have to stay alive or just repair the things

[pallid kernel]

should i even bother with using the AK 74Ms or just sell them?

[fair mason]

Just repair

[velvet geyser]

im level 8 and would like some help running a few raids. Im new to the game and just need general help pweez.

[civic spade]

hi gganbu

i have a few quick pointers that may help

[velvet geyser]

thanks 🙂

[civic spade]

Okay so to start, IF you can help it during your engagements try to keep in mind that you are at a disadvantage when making a left hand peek around cover, less of your body is exposed on right hand peeks.

roger?

[velvet geyser]

roger

[civic spade]

Next.

when dealing with scavs, if you know where they are and you are behind hard cover. use the slow lean mechanic(on a right hand peek) to "fish" for the killing shot.

you can use "slow lean" by pressing left alt+Q or E

[velvet geyser]

ok, i've seen others do that before.

[civic spade]

You can use the slow lean mechanic to look through tiny tiny cracks in door ways/walls to get better viewing angles

[velvet geyser]

ok, i've never tried it out

[civic spade]

you can also control how far you stand up by using left cntrl + your mouse wheel.

hop into an offline and try these things out

[velvet geyser]

WAIT WHAT

[civic spade]

you can enter offline raids to practice fighting AI without the risk of losing anything

[velvet geyser]

you can half stand basically?!

[civic spade]

you can control the exact height you stand

so you can control how much of your upper torso is exposed in combat

[velvet geyser]

does it effect movement speed and sound tho?

[civic spade]

yes

[pallid kernel]

Is it worth trying to find the leatherman multitool or should i just buy it from mechanic?

[velvet geyser]

ok, so its a trade off

[shell hawk]

Just buy it

[rigid adder]

So you can control separately how SLOW you walk which more so dictates how much noise you make.

[pallid kernel]

ok

[shell hawk]

Also bare in mind height over bore.

just cause you can see over, doesnt mean gun shoots over

[velvet geyser]

yeh

[bold kernel]

Are scavs tanky as shit? I had to put like 8 shots into a scav close range with a shotgun LUL

[digital sable]

Slow crouch-walking forward while turning let’s you make a 360 turn without the loud shuffling sound

[digital sable]

Buckshots and many slugs do jack shit vs. even the lowest tiers of armor. Best aim for their heads or leg them with magnum buck

[orchid cobalt]

I did the quest to get Jaeger and I still do not have Jaeger and the mechanic says that I completed the quest

[bold kernel]

ah ok thank u 😄

[shell hawk]

If you finished introduction. Close game reopen. Sometimes it'll bug

[pallid kernel]

whats the best place to find nuts and bolts?

[orchid cobalt]

yeah I have its been liek this for the past couple of days

[lethal mist]

is mapgenie safe to login?

[pallid kernel]

did you click complete above the finished quest?

[orchid cobalt]

yeah it says its finished

[pallid kernel]

but did you go into that finished quest

and click complete

above it

top of the screen when you click on a finished quest

[pallid kernel]

so u did

did you claim the quest in your messege box?

[orchid cobalt]

yeah

[pallid kernel]

well i tried to help

got nothing more

[orchid cobalt]

my game said smth ab a critical error

[pallid kernel]

idk man

[civic spade]

did you survive and extract the raid? jw

@orchid cobalt

[pallid kernel]

Buni do you by any chance know a good spot to find nuts and bolts?

[brittle canyon]

interchange toolbox run

[civic spade]

yeah your best bet is toolboxes, i find a lot in ground stashes. @brittle canyon is right, interchange is an excellent place if you know the map well. which i honestly doubt you do because interchange is hell on new players.

[pallid kernel]

ive never been on interchange

[civic spade]

so wherever you think you can get to loot a lot of toolboxes

[brittle canyon]

just pull up mapgenie and draw a line connecting all the toolboxes

and then run that on offline a few times

run it on scav a few times

and then run it on pmc

[pallid kernel]

alright

that would be something to try

i guess

[civic spade]

run your scav as much as possible to make money/get stuff like that

[pallid kernel]

also, is customs a good map to increase my combat skills

[civic spade]

any map is a good map to progress your skills on

they will passively progress as you do things

[pallid kernel]

so i should just do quests or something right?

[brittle canyon]

do quests

[civic spade]

run your scav, and do your best to get quests done

[shell hawk]

Scav for money. Quest for levels. Rest comes with time.

[brittle canyon]

at some point you stop burning money doing most quests; then you stop scavving

[pallid kernel]

how much money should i have

[brittle canyon]

as much as you want?

hideout gives you passive income

[pallid kernel]

does it?

how

[brittle canyon]

crafts

btc farm

[civic spade]

the crafting we talked about earlier

[pallid kernel]

hmm

ok

which items give a lot of money

[brittle canyon]

items that you can't find

[pallid kernel]

oh god i just saw how interchange looks like

it does not look good at all

[brittle canyon]

it's a mall

it's reasonably confusing

[civic spade]

it can be really complicated for new players but you will realize that everything is more or less connected. map knowledge goes so so far for interchange

[pallid kernel]

i might put interchange on hold for now

[civic spade]

until your quests send you there, i would.

[pallid kernel]

yea

i would too

not going there

anytime soon

[brittle canyon]

ragman sends you there

[pallid kernel]

is alyonka worth anything

[brittle canyon]

https://tarkov.dev/item/alyonka-chocolate-bar

[civic spade]

before your next raid you need to look through every vendor and look at what items you can use for bartering.

[pallid kernel]

is bartering worth it or not?

or is it better just buying stuff

[brittle canyon]

depends

[civic spade]

for items you want/use yes.

[brittle canyon]

"database for tarkov" app has a barter calculator

[civic spade]

if theres an armor you like running, and you can always barter the same items for it then yes its worth holding those items. same with guns or anything else

[edgy elbow]

The west wing room 301 good or nah?

[civic spade]

go to the wiki and type in "west wing room 301"

[pallid kernel]

is it worth holding AK 74Ms that i dont really like using?

[civic spade]

it'll tell you what spawns behind the door, where it spawns, and if its a quest room or not

[covert siren]

nah sell it

[edgy elbow]

k

[covert siren]

no

[pallid kernel]

ok

[edgy elbow]

I have a duplicate so i was asking just incase it's worth a whole lot more on the flea

[civic spade]

give me your extra 😉

[pallid kernel]

what about 6L23 mags

i imagine that they can be used on more than 1 gun

right?

[brittle canyon]

5.45 aks

but prapor sells it so sell it

[pallid kernel]

i also have a few plum versions of it

[brittle canyon]

sell all 30 round 545 mags

[pallid kernel]

ok

[edgy elbow]

5.45 = the small aks, 7.62 = big aks

[brittle canyon]

except any fancy looking ones

[civic spade]

right click that magazine

and select linked search

[pallid kernel]

so should i also sell the red ones

not really red

they look rusty

[brittle canyon]

orange

[pallid kernel]

6l23 plum

[civic spade]

if its a magazine to a gun you dont like using then yes sell it.

[pallid kernel]

are ak 74s good if i put some attachments on them

[zinc canopy]

They are ok

Not the best but you can get some decent mods and ammo for reasonable prices

[pallid kernel]

which guns are good for a new player like me

so far i like the sks

[civic spade]

kinda depends what you want out of the gun

[edgy elbow]

i usually just trade them for the 74N

[civic spade]

do you want automatic, or something to snipe with

[pallid kernel]

i want something that can kill

it would be nice if its automatic

[fathom ocean]

the sks the best gun in the game

[edgy elbow]

if you follow the engineer quest, you will get a body kit for the op sks which allows for scopes and all the fancy attachments

[blazing lotus]

i need help getting a directors key does anyone have 1?

[sick condor]

do rouges count as scavs for the tarkov shooter quest?

[fathom ocean]

rock any ak that can use 7.62

[brittle canyon]

therapist barter

[edgy elbow]

mechanic/engineer, engineer is a meme name

[pallid kernel]

body kit?

[fathom ocean]

if you’re tired of the sks you can use a vpo from jaeger or skier I forgot but you can throw a bastion on it and put a scope on it

[edgy elbow]

the FAB body kit, it's pretty neat

[blazing lotus]

@brittle canyon i an having no luck finding the barter items or the key

[pallid kernel]

can i put scopes without a workbench?

[civic spade]

Yes

[brittle canyon]

goshan food corner

[civic spade]

So Zwek

[unborn cloak]

ye

[civic spade]

if you notice, prapor sells a brown wooden SKS and jeager sells a light tan one. do you see this?

[edgy elbow]

@pallid kernel

[blazing lotus]

@brittle canyon wheres that

[pallid kernel]

that looks like a shotgun

[edgy elbow]

its the body kit for the op-sks

[civic spade]

thats a polymer stock to replace the wooden body of an SKS

[pallid kernel]

oh

ahh now i get it

thats how you get the "nice" looking sks

[brittle canyon]

tbh a "nice looking sks" is just an ak

no point modding sks past just a scope

[pallid kernel]

which scope would you recommend

[brittle canyon]

anything you can find or buy

not like you have a choice

[pallid kernel]

does it say which scopes can fit?

[brittle canyon]

linked search everything

[civic spade]

at your level the kobra sights for close range will go onto the light tan SKS from Jeager

[edgy elbow]

probably one of the pso's

[pallid kernel]

oh right

[edgy elbow]

dont go for the NPZ, it's horrible to use

[pallid kernel]

wait, do i need a mount

for scopes

[blazing lotus]

@pure storm thx for the help

[edgy elbow]

it should already have one built in

[civic spade]

Zweky

Do you see the light tan SKS from jeager?

[pallid kernel]

no

i got mine from prapor

[civic spade]

okay

prapor sells a different one

[edgy elbow]

oh

[pallid kernel]

i havent tried jaegers one yet

since i just got him

[edgy elbow]

you need the op SKS for scopes

[civic spade]

okay listen

the light tan SKS from jeager comes with a mounting bracket compatable for some optics

its called the dovetail mount.

[pallid kernel]

bruh i thought you called that thing op, but its literally called op sks

[civic spade]

you can slot multiple different optics onto this mount, you can view these optics by inspecting the tan SKS from jeager and performing a linked search on the dove tail mount

[pallid kernel]

alright

what about prapors sks

also jaegers sks is almost double the price of prapors

[civic spade]

praports SKS doesnt come with a mounting bracket for optics.

its good for iron sights only.

[plain ledge]

what's the calculation for overall accuracy lol

[pallid kernel]

so that dovetail is worth the 10k?

[civic spade]

its more expensive because its meant to be used with a optic

the dovetail is already on the tan SKS.

as i've said

[pallid kernel]

yeah ik

but the price difference

10k

[civic spade]

yeah...... 10k to have an optic.

pretty good deal

[pallid kernel]

i also have to pay for that optic

[civic spade]

yep

[plain ledge]

I'd not be too hung about pricing because there are often worse items (incl ammo) that are more expensive than their better counterparts xP

[civic spade]

invest in yourself if you ever wanna get anywhere

[pallid kernel]

are they the same thing but one can mount optics? @civic spade

[brittle canyon]

Bullets fragmenting count as an extra hit
Bullets overpenetrating limb and hitting another limb behind it counts as an extra hit
your true hit count is derived from total shots fired and accuracy

[plain ledge]

is there anywhere I can actually see the "true hit count"? Considering I am 25% down this one is pretty easy and that was a sad scav run ending in like a minute, but in the event I have a longer raid and whatnot, it would be nice to see the whole stats

[civic spade]

yes i already said this lol

[pallid kernel]

alright

[civic spade]

the one for prapor has no mounting bracket annd is only good for iron sights

[brittle canyon]

calc it yourself from shots fired and overall accuracy

[civic spade]

the tan one from jeager (aka the op sks) is meant to have an optic on it

[plain ledge]

Yeah, manually doing the math is fine, I was mostly wondering if I could see the breakdown of the other factors you mentioned, since most I'd get from doing the math is figuring out how many extra hits, but not what kind of extra hits if that makes sense

[plucky ravine]

whats the most profitable scav map in ur opinion?

[brittle canyon]

can't

[pallid kernel]

and what would a decent scope cost

[brittle canyon]

loothouse

[pallid kernel]

to complete that op sks

[brittle canyon]

prapor sells Kobra for 10k

[civic spade]

okay so if you perform the linked search like i told you, you'd know exactly what optics can fit on the gun and how much they cost.

[pallid kernel]

how much better are optics compared to iron sights?

like thats a really big price difference

[plucky ravine]

isnt it just prefrence

unless its a scope with a zoom

[plain ledge]

That's up to you to decide

[edgy elbow]

make sure you bind a key or mouse button to change magnification, sometimes it changes the zoom or just the type of reticle for example on the Kobra

[civic spade]

seeing what you're shooting at is usually a pretty valuable thing. to me at least.

[pallid kernel]

i think its bound by default

[hallow mountain]

can anyone help me get jagers note im new

[edgy elbow]

i think it's alt + a key

[plain ledge]

some guns have dog iron sights, some have decent and some can't even mount scopes in the first place. If you are using a 1x anyway, it's up to you to decide, go into your hideout's shooting range and try it

[edgy elbow]

but i just have it on my side buttons for the mouse

[pallid kernel]

yea im pretty sure aswell

ill figure it out once i actually get a scope

is "obzor" a scope worth keeping

i got it from a scav run

[brittle canyon]

try it

[pallid kernel]

npz pk1

[brittle canyon]

it fits on the opsks

[pallid kernel]

its on the ak 105

it looked like a budget scope

but im not sure

[brittle canyon]

it is

[summer gust]

do we lose rep for faling the 24hour operational task?

[brittle canyon]

no

[pallid kernel]

on that note, ak 105 - sell or keep?

[brittle canyon]

sell

[pallid kernel]

should i sell the whole gun or seperate the mag, scope etc and then sell them

[narrow gull]

depends

if < 60% it's better to sell parts to mechanic

if > 60% it doesn't matter

except shotguns and bolties > 60%, in which case parts to mechanic and gun to jaeger

[pallid kernel]

60% of what

the gun?

[brittle canyon]

durability

[narrow gull]

overall durability

[pallid kernel]

ah

wait guns have that

[narrow gull]

in inspect window

[pallid kernel]

oh god

[whole thistle]

below 93 they can jam

[pallid kernel]

oh yeah the scav ak 105 is shit

53 durability

[narrow gull]

strip for parts and sell the parts to mechanic, receiver to fence

[brittle canyon]

guns below 93% dura can start to malfunction and become less accurate
half dura is very bad

[narrow gull]

unless you can repair it to over 60% that is

[pallid kernel]

im probably not gonna try to repair it

[brittle canyon]

you can't

[terse marlin]

oooF

[pallid kernel]

so im thinking of selling all my 5.45 aks and their ammo + mags

ive also noticed that mechanic doesnt pay for the ammo in a mag is that right?

[whole thistle]

scav guns have a cut down max durability

cant repair them much

[tranquil shore]

What 5.45 ammo do you have?

[pallid kernel]

ps and bp

[narrow gull]

i mean scav guns often drop >60% or repairable to >60%

[tranquil shore]

Keep BP, and guns to shoot it.

Buy PP if you like 5.45

[narrow gull]

worth checking to get a couple thousand extra roubles from selling to the better trader

[pallid kernel]

i kinda dont want to use the ak 74s tho

they dont seem that good

[tranquil shore]

AK-74s is very bad

[reef field]

Who should I complete the Chemical part 3 quest on?

[tranquil shore]

Ak-105 is the best budget 5.45 gun imo

[tranquil shore]

Skier

[pallid kernel]

yea but its got 53 durability

[reef field]

ty

[tranquil shore]

Sell it

Buy new, 100 dura one

Try 5.45 before you say it’s good or not.

Some people love it, some people hate it

[pallid kernel]

i tried it a couple of times

it could be my skill

it probably is

but as of now i prefer the sks

[tranquil shore]

Then i would sell the guns

Keep the ammo, traders don’t pay shit for ammo

And it’s nice to have

[pallid kernel]

i seem to be able to hit headshots with the sks

on scavs at least

[tranquil shore]

💀

5.45 is very cqc ammo

[pallid kernel]

what about selling mags

for said ammo

[tranquil shore]

If they’re cheap just sell em

[pallid kernel]

what about 6l23 plum

the red-ish version

it says it has lower failure to feed chance

otherwise the same as standard

[narrow gull]

it still depends on the gun durability

[visual garden]

Anyone got the tarkon directors office key ?

[narrow gull]

if you don't run your guns to <93% you have nothing to worry

[pallid kernel]

so just sell them aswell

i guess

[narrow gull]

therapist can barter it for food

[whole thistle]

say that to my bad (space) ass ak545 build

[tranquil shore]

5.45 is probably the best guns

So low recoil

But the ammo is just so bad for anything that isn’t cqc

So you don’t really need the low recoil

Over 100 meters and you don’t tap head

[pallid kernel]

once i get better ill probably like that ammo more

[remote kettle]

above 93% dura mechanical malfunctions like that cant happen

[pallid kernel]

alright

i imagine i should sell the toz 106 right?

it doesnt look very good

[edgy elbow]

good for factory runs

[whole thistle]

no its not

lmao

[pallid kernel]

its a bolt action shotty

[edgy elbow]

it's a shotgun, any shotgun is good aslong as it's got the good ammo

moral of the story

[whole thistle]

good ammo literally doesnt exist for the toz

[odd field]

Is this worth something?

[narrow gull]

keep one for skier if you hadn't done that yet

[narrow gull]

toz*

[pallid kernel]

toz looks like the little rust pistol that you hit to fire

a literal caveman gun

[whole thistle]

like 50k

[pallid kernel]

alright

[edgy elbow]

the star slug is pretty good

[whole thistle]

all of the buckshot is below 35 damage 💀

[edgy elbow]

so is the devastator

what are you on about?

[whole thistle]

2 penetration

just use a makarov

[tranquil shore]

The ammo literally can’t hs 💀

[pallid kernel]

whats the difference between taking a real painkiller and something like vaseline or alcohol?

[whole thistle]

vaseline is better than the analgin pills

lasts longer and doesnt kill hydration and energy as much

vodka is pooshit

[pallid kernel]

alright

but the vaseline over actual pain relief drugs makes no sense

[whole thistle]

it doesnt

[pallid kernel]

but stats are stats i guess

[whole thistle]

but thats how it is

[pallid kernel]

why does fence get new stuff for me to examine?

[narrow gull]

his stock is made up from what other players sell to him

[pallid kernel]

oh

[odd field]

can i check somewhere how much exp i need for next lvl?

nvm

i see

[pallid kernel]

how do i see armor durability if i wanted to buy his armor

[narrow gull]

rclick -> inspect or double click

[pallid kernel]

i assume its the armor points?

[latent creek]

is anyone up to do the search mission prapor quest with me on woods

[unborn elk]

hello how do i do this

[latent creek]

like where do you find those items?

and you should stop killing scavs it affects your karma with fence

[plain ledge]

I'd say easiest way is doing interchange and going to the food section of the back store, I usually find a gargantuan amount of drinks there

[potent crater]

Hahaha mr bad scav

[plain ledge]

i just noticed

-2.25 lmao

[potent crater]

HOLY FUCK BRO -2???

aww man

[latent creek]

When he sees scavs he transforms into Rambo

[indigo badge]

RB-PSV2 worth using or selling? Wiki just says med crates. Is it a ledex spawn?

Anyone like my SR-25?

[crystal oracle]

Its like part 7 or 8

I cant rememebr

[chrome umbra]

when i hope on to woods im always dying to people really far away so i cant compete with an sks vs not having a scope

[modest lava]

is 1 barter item case enough or should i get 2?

[chrome umbra]

im not saying having a better loadout will save me but at least i can experience the game on a more even level

[blissful lagoon]

I'm not a fan of the normal I-Cases tbh

[modest lava]

lucky scav junk box

[blissful lagoon]

o

[crystal oracle]

I have 2 of them

[blissful lagoon]

1 is fine, 2 is fine, up to u

[crystal oracle]

Only buy them if you know you can make the money back

[modest lava]

the thing is, im struggling with storage now but i know when i get the flea i will sell a lot of stuff

[blissful lagoon]

Bottom line, buy them if u need them

[modest lava]

but i dont know how many barter items ill need to store for the later game after flea

[blissful lagoon]

If u go to the wiki's quest page, there's a pic that shows u all the items u need FIR. Save those

anything else u can flea

[crystal oracle]

Its outdated

[edgy elbow]

is this something i keep

why is it red?

[blissful lagoon]

Better than nothing and it'll get updated

[crystal oracle]

Some of the things you need atm dont show in that picture

[crystal oracle]

Keep

Very good scope

[modest lava]

not just the quest items, hideout items too

and stuff like fuel containers

[blissful lagoon]

U can buy hideout items off the flea

[modest lava]

taking a lolt of space up

[blissful lagoon]

U don't have to keep them

[modest lava]

im keeping them now cause i have no flea

but yeah

you have a point

[blissful lagoon]

If space is the main issue, u can sell some of them to dealer and buy them later from flea

[crystal oracle]

^^

[blissful lagoon]

Or just buy that second junkbox

it's up to u rly

[modest lava]

i mean i looked at all the items and i sold everything that was similiar on flea and trader

[rancid nova]

yeah but same guy, 5 bullets within 30 seconds, wtf is that

[blissful lagoon]

5 bullets doesn't necessarily kill unless u hit vitals unfortunately

[crystal oracle]

Is a mag case a profitable craft rn?

They are 325k atm

[rancid nova]

its LPS, it would mess him up, but he kept going like nothing happened

[rancid nova]

yeah its profit

[elfin talon]

I need help with combat, every single fucking time I play anything, I just get one tapped by people, I never get a chance to fight, what the fuck am I doing wrong, i have a lvl 4 helmet and lvl 4 armor and I just get dinked out of nowhere

[crystal oracle]

fr?

[rancid nova]

try sherpa hub

[rancid nova]

yea

[blissful lagoon]

LPS does 81 dmg, 6 bullets guarantees a kill but 5 does not
