[mint light]

they should actually add the m1 garand for an early wipe weapon that would be so cool

[stiff fractal]

Rfb is nice budget. But cant spam it like sr

[fervent ermine]

idk why rfb kicks so much

[mint light]

rfb kills in fucking 3 shots or so anyway

[fervent ermine]

based on where you hit

[mint light]

i dont miss

[fervent ermine]

then it should be 2

[mint light]

100% hit rate

[pure mist]

Low ergo as well with suppressor

[stiff fractal]

Can we talk about the ump though. So tired of using this gun but it keeps working

[mint light]

is ump with fmj viable at this point

[stiff fractal]

No

[fervent ermine]

.45 ap too good early wipe

[stiff fractal]

Fmj ump is so bad

[mint light]

i aint got ap!!!

[fervent ermine]

people already running slicks

[mint light]

i have a gamer ump but no ap

[fervent ermine]

run .45 rip

[mint light]

where am i gonna buy that jit

[bold kernel]

LF duo or trio run customs dorms questing real quick we can run whatever

[pure mist]

Ap ump is strong fmj garbage

[fervent ermine]

@pure mist what is your build for m1a

[pure mist]

Not on my pc

But it’s long barrel

Rk2

Prs gen 3

[steep summit]

*** If anyone has Broadcast Room Key for Light house "Operating Room Key" DM me***

[mint light]

0 ergo m1a is cracked

[fervent ermine]

[pure mist]

The suppressor

[fervent ermine]

qdc right?

[pure mist]

Can’t remember the name it’s the kac one

[mint light]

[pure mist]

And I think that’s about it

Send yours let me see

[fervent ermine]

[pure mist]

Wrong buffer tube

[fervent ermine]

is are not meta?

[stiff fractal]

I burned all mine and sold the ammo box it was kept in. Tired of running the ump.

[rare niche]

Bro always check jeager caches I just found a alpha in a scav run

[pure mist]

Use messa cross

[mint light]

i cant use ump now. how do i go woods mode

[fervent ermine]

i would've used it, but it doesnt go on there

[mint light]

headshot with fmj

[fervent ermine]

wait i might just not have it examine

[pure mist]

Pretty sure it does

[fervent ermine]

one sec

[pure mist]

Yeah that

[fervent ermine]

yeah its way lower now

[pure mist]

Last wipe I think I got it down to 38 or 37 idk if they changed anything since

[fervent ermine]

38

[pure mist]

Yeah

[fervent ermine]

Danke for build

But the ergo is gone holy shit

[pure mist]

Yeah well that’s what happens if you get a 308 gun at 38 recoil lol

[stiff fractal]

Get 15, buy sr-25, profit

[fervent ermine]

yeah lmao

isnt meta sr25 500k

with no traders

[pure mist]

No

[mint light]

i shall get to lvl 15 on monday

[pure mist]

Yeah

It’s 300k with max traders

[stiff fractal]

And then we can kill 5 mans on woods no problem

[fervent ermine]

i have all ll3 and its already 300k lmao

[mint light]

i have a few cool guns and good armor

[pure mist]

280-320k with max traders

[mint light]

i can make it work

shitter ammo tho

[fervent ermine]

no m80?

[daring stag]

Yo what is up with all these headshots not working? are the hitboxes off? Guns im using are brand new

[stiff fractal]

Ive killed two 5 mans this wipe but a bunch of 3-4 mans solo

Mostly shoreline tasking

[pure mist]

Time to run labs tmr hit level 35 this morning at 136 raids can’t wait

[fervent ermine]

how many pmc kills? 300?

[stiff fractal]

Bout 200

[fervent ermine]

[whole thistle]

ive been saved by helmets a ton this wipe i feel like they buffed them

earlier today 2 of my teammates both took a 56a1 straight to the head into level 3 helmets and lived lmao

[mint light]

[pure mist]

Bc people use shit ammo still lol

[whole thistle]

i mean i get ricochets a fuck ton not just it didnt pen

[silk lantern]

Same here

[hollow dragon]

What the best ump round?

[pure mist]

They save me from player scavs mostly lol

[pure mist]

Ap

[fervent ermine]

.45 ap

[stiff fractal]

I dont even have any goals in tarkov rn. Im just making money and helping noobs lol

[fervent ermine]

@mint light you gon play today?

or gonna go to sleep

[mint light]

nah prolly monday

too much dick to suck

[stiff fractal]

Is that sundays plan?

[rare niche]

Should I sell my ofz or keep it

[stiff fractal]

Keep for task

[fervent ermine]

Spartan hmu when and if you down to play tomorrow

[balmy quail]

does anyone know what i should barter my dorms marked for?

[stiff fractal]

Ill be on tomorrow. Probably tomorrow night

[mint light]

just use it

[balmy quail]

nah i dont ever run customs unless i'm questing

let alone touch dorms

[mint light]

name fits i guess

[fervent ermine]

What maps you run?

[balmy quail]

labs, factory and reserve

those are my main three

[mint light]

dude was made in a factory

[fervent ermine]

i would say pkpm but it is a dogshit key

[stiff fractal]

Woods is the only map

[balmy quail]

i'd send the crab factory gif if it wouldn't get me instantly warned

[stiff fractal]

I only leave woods for tasks and i hate tasks

[pure mist]

Labs only lol

[pure mist]

They’re easy

[rare niche]

I don’t have space in my scav box

[fervent ermine]

reserve best map at this point in twipe

so many geared players to fight

[dry belfry]

Lighthouse

[fervent ermine]

you are a rat mods

[stiff fractal]

Lighthouse is poop tier

[pure mist]

Don’t like the pscavs

[stiff fractal]

Every map besides woods is just bad. Indisputable fr

[balmy quail]

labs is funny

i mostly abuse it for raider farming

[fervent ermine]

bush wookie pov

[pure mist]

You’re doing the ancient method

From 2-3 wipes ago

[balmy quail]

maybe but i enjoy farming raiders on labs

[pure mist]

Loose loots good enough you shouldn’t need raiders

[fervent ermine]

Reserve raider chance is shit now

[pure mist]

Idk i don’t like them if they spawn in bad locations

[stiff fractal]

Im too chadded to fit in a bush

[fervent ermine]

i have seen them twice in like 40 raids

[pure mist]

Under cat being the worst

[lunar ibex]

should i sell all the cheese meds or keep them?

[balmy quail]

half the time it's you at one end of the room an them at the other end

[fervent ermine]

weapon testing worse imo

[pure mist]

Not really

[balmy quail]

sell the cheese, turn the cars into salewas

[pure mist]

No plants at weapon testing

[stiff fractal]

Maining a map to farm ai is weird

[fervent ermine]

they usually shoot me through walls in weapon testing

why i hate them there

[pure mist]

They never did that to me lol

They would usually just push me

[stiff fractal]

People really main a map to farm ai and complain here when those ai shoot back in a way that they find unfair.

[fervent ermine]

no one here mains a map to farm ai, who you talkin to lmao

[stiff fractal]

People who preach about rogue/raider farming for big loot

The people lined up to farm bp on day 1 from ai lol

[pure mist]

Used to be most of the money on labs

[fervent ermine]

I remember some guy who sent an image of a weapons case full of rogue m4s, and expected to get praised

[balmy quail]

I never claimed to say it's big loot

[fervent ermine]

Instead people laughed at him

[balmy quail]

i just enjoy it

[stiff fractal]

Yeah like dude killed some ai a bunch. Like its a weird flex

[stiff fractal]

Not you. Some do

[fervent ermine]

Lmao

[balmy quail]

most of the time the recoil's horrendous as well

[fervent ermine]

Only thing i will praise is a thicc case full of knight's mask found in raid

I have only seen em once on woods

[balmy quail]

haven't seen them at all yet

[fervent ermine]

And that time apo killed knight and bigpipe and i killed birdeye

[stiff fractal]

Ive seen them 5 or 6 times on woods

[fervent ermine]

What time

[stiff fractal]

Day

[fervent ermine]

Ingame

[stiff fractal]

Scav bunker

[hollow dragon]

Best asval ammo?

[fervent ermine]

pab9

[pure mist]

Bp

[fervent ermine]

wait you dont have flea

[balmy quail]

[fervent ermine]

i dont think you can get any of it

[hollow dragon]

I do

[stiff fractal]

Ive never seen them successfully killed outside. Only seen them cheesed indoors

[hollow dragon]

havent changed name

[balmy quail]

imagine just walking into the fucking bunker only to get blown up instantly by big pipe camping there

[fervent ermine]

you can get pab9 on flea, bp is after grenadier

and sp6 from prapor ll3

[stiff fractal]

I put 1500 damage on those bosses and didnt get a kill with the ump shooting ap. Like fuck those dudes fr

[leaden crystal]

[fervent ermine]

old sawmill

[leaden crystal]

thx

[hollow dragon]

[balmy quail]

old sawmill, you're close to 1 or 2 extracts

[fervent ermine]

[stiff fractal]

Knight rushed my player scav in the bunker then fortnite danced on my corpse

[balmy quail]

2nd best

[fervent ermine]

nope

[balmy quail]

is it not?

[leaden crystal]

thx

[fervent ermine]

3rd best

they changed the ammo

[mint light]

spp is 2nd worse now

sp6 has more pen now

[fervent ermine]

first row is damage, second is pen

[balmy quail]

oh, when are they gonna update the ballistics chart?

[stiff fractal]

Spp is bad because the sr doesnt use it

[fervent ermine]

third is armor damage

or armour damage like discord wants me to type

[hollow dragon]

okok ty

[mint light]

spp is second worse fr

[balmy quail]

ok wait

so it is updated

its just not in order?

[fervent ermine]

da

[pure mist]

It’s amour

[fervent ermine]

armor, easier to type 🤷

[pure mist]

Yes

[balmy quail]

are you using mapgenie?

[leaden crystal]

yes

[fervent ermine]

Wait till you finish the task, you will find them in every corner of the map

[leaden crystal]

but it is a little confusing for me

[silk lantern]

Hey if anyone on na east needs a pmc kill and has a GK-02 lmk

[rain nymph]

[leaden crystal]

[leaden crystal]

[whole thistle]

no

[pure mist]

No

[fervent ermine]

No

[balmy quail]

no

[fervent ermine]

Some shallow water tho

[pure mist]

Not implemented yet

[whole thistle]

you can walk through very very shallow water

like the mud on shoreline

but that's all

[balmy quail]

nope it just becomes canon that pmcs weren't ever taught how to swim

[pure mist]

You mean the swamp

[atomic lodge]

[civic hedge]

what map do you like

[cerulean pier]

Whenever I get shot my game freezes for 10-200 seconds

sometimes less

[civic hedge]

that is the coolest thing that could ever happen. used to happen to me in cs

counter strike

[whole thistle]

oh wait i just reread this 💀

i just go wherever the tasks make me

i thought you were asking which reserve map was the best

[civic hedge]

im trying to get two shotguns from scavs

ah its okay hah

[silk lantern]

Well i just killed tagilla

[civic hedge]

literally the first mission

[silk lantern]

cuz he bugged out

[random aspen]

[civic hedge]

i have to do gunsmith to unlock him still

[whole thistle]

nope

[silk lantern]

Nope

[random aspen]

nah, you just need level 2

[whole thistle]

[whole thistle]

map map map map

[limber notch]

Dora The Explorer Intensifies

[unborn elk]

can i do tasks as a scav?

[whole thistle]

only ones that ask you to find generic loot items

nothing like jaeger note or "kill x"

if it's asking you to find t plugs or shotguns then you can do it

[limber notch]

You can find items in raid

[unborn elk]

okay i need to find a sawela

[whole thistle]

thats just a regular item

so you can do that

[unborn elk]

okay ty

[silk lantern]

I just blew myself up

[teal trail]

I wish more people would admit that

[potent crater]

someone explain this, the damage, the accuracy and the hitcount

[teal trail]

Accuracy is out of 1

[potent crater]

yes

but how do i hit 4 shots

and do 78 damage with NONE being absorbed by armor?

my bullets would do like 20 damage

and how if i hit over half my shots

do i have a .29 accuracy

I think i just got a fragment or some bs

[fervent ermine]

Maybe it doesnt take collaterals into accuracy?

[teal trail]

You're playing tarkov and thinking that we have the answers

[fervent ermine]

Or fragmenting

[random aspen]

were you shooting a shotgun

[potent crater]

nope

akm

[random aspen]

no clue then tbh

2 headshots, 2 ricochets?

all I can think of

[potent crater]

I think fragments and collats maybe idk im just pissed off

[limber notch]

Fragmentation most likely

[vapid iris]

I see videos of people instantly throwing a grenade without pulling it out, how do I do that?

[bold kernel]

[elfin pendant]

[fervent ermine]

You can disable locked tasks

[fervent ermine]

Ja, but it is usually barter only

There’s a tick box

I can see night sweep

[elfin pendant]

theres no barter for it i think

[fervent ermine]

And decobtam

[fervent ermine]

Barters from flea?

[elfin pendant]

oh you mean like players will put it up for sale in exchange for another item?

[fervent ermine]

Ja

[elfin pendant]

oh

why is gear so much harder to get now? i played this 2 wipes ago and now you cant buy any good ammo. you cant buy good rigs. its all banned from flea or the barters are really high level

[fervent ermine]

If I open mail with no room in inventory can I close the menu and still return to it? I always open mail with room but am curious incase I ever come into that situation

yea you can. you get a prompt telling you you can get back to it

you can even take only some of the items

[boreal sable]

Ah ok thank you

[granite sandal]

Anyone know why my game looks fuzzy?

[elfin pendant]

for me to use a flare do i need a flare pistol? or can i do it by hand?

[zinc canopy]

There are hand held ones and also shell ones. Only red ones call airdrops

[mint light]

do u have noise on

[granite sandal]

I’m not sure I just started

[mint light]

turn noise off in graphics settings

[elfin pendant]

i found this red one. can i bring it into raid to call an airdrop?

[granite sandal]

Alright

[elfin pendant]

or do i need a flare gun?

[mint light]

yes

make sure to shoot it into the sky and not the fucking ground

[elfin pendant]

but i need a flare gun or is it like a grenade?

[mint light]

its a handheld flare

u twist it and it shoots

in what world does that fit into a flare gun

[elfin pendant]

and why do you say to throw in the air? shouldnt i throw it on the ground so i can choose where the airdrop goes?

[mint light]

u shoot it u dont throw it

its like a roman candle

[elfin pendant]

ok so i should just look at the sky directly above me then if i want it to land exactly where i am?

[mint light]

give or take yeah

its like a few meters off

[elfin pendant]

ok thank you

[whole thistle]

PREACH

[crisp sun]

anyone able to help with the signal quest for shoreline?

a quick get in and get out situation

[sick condor]

any advice for the repair 2 things factory quest?

[crisp sun]

do one at a time keep tool in gamma and let people know they are usually lenient about it

will probably want to kill you after

[sick condor]

fair enough

when are you tagged and cursed? just no weapon?

[whole thistle]

Pistol only or melee only

Just bring a double barrel

[elfin pendant]

@mint light also, i never used. im guessing the best strategy is to wait until theres like 10 minutes left in the raid to call it hoping that other players have left?

[mint light]

do u care that much about having to fight another person

[elfin pendant]

i mean if i die they take the airdrop loot

[mint light]

they probably wont get to it before u do. u can clean that shit out prolly

[elfin pendant]

why did i get a run through here? i thought 5 minutes is enough to not get run through

[fading pagoda]

I think its 7 minutes

[whole thistle]

It's 7

[elfin pendant]

oh

[whole thistle]

Used to be 5

[mint light]

ew belt combo

[edgy cedar]

can anyone oceanic gimme a hand with the fuckin factory repair quest

[noble talon]

Just do some looting and you will be fine

[fringe gate]

anyone wanna run thru maps killing people? new to the game dont feel confident running alone

[high crystal]

Would anyone mind helping me get back up and running? A couple of short factory runs? I've got no money and no gear.

[elfin pendant]

do interchange stash or food runs and you make 200-400k per raid in less than 10 mins

[high crystal]

@elfin pendant I don't know what an interchange stash or food run is. Would you mind explaining what that is?

[fringe gate]

scav runs on custom are pretty decent usually alot of dead scavs u can loot

[elfin pendant]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhXVHA3zG88

thats a video on stash runs. food runs means you go to the back of goshan and just loot food and drinks to sell and you get out through no backpack extract

hexgrid

[mellow dagger]

wahts the easiest way not to get lost hah

[high crystal]

@elfin pendantI don't understand why that's considered a low risk run?

[fringe gate]

have a map open and pay attention to landmarks

[elfin pendant]

because youre just running on the outer part of the map instead of going inside the mall

[mellow dagger]

which map do you recommend?

for finding an exit lol

[mint light]

bruh

exiting shouldnt be what u want in a map

all are pretty equal for that

[elfin pendant]

should i be selling gpus or keeping them?

[mint light]

id sell them

unless farming part 4

[elfin pendant]

btc farm doesnt pay off?

how can i see the price of 1 btc btw

[mint light]

pays for fuel at this point

[mint light]

tarky market

[mellow dagger]

but dont I die if I dont exit in time?

[mint light]

correct

exiting is very hard. loot and fun pvp should be priority in map choice

[elfin pendant]

but 1 btc is 118k. 1 gpu is 250 so after 3 btc the gpu is paid off no?

[mint light]

have to have fuel on

[mellow dagger]

Yeah, but I just started playing, so if I just spend all my money on pvp and die over and over again, Ill just lose everything

[mint light]

btc price will constantly drop too. atleast for now

[mint light]

learn maps via scavs and offline mode

[elfin pendant]

i thought with btc the earlier you make it, the sooner it pays off and that it ends up being worth always

[mint light]

use a map too

[mint light]

not at this point. i wouldnt make one

[high crystal]

@elfin pendant turns out it's not so low risk, literally got in and ran to the 3rd stash to have a guy camp me

[mint light]

interchange a goober map anyway

[hardy rain]

do the flares other than red work?

[lethal ore]

no

[hardy rain]

then why add them lol

[lethal ore]

for the future

[hardy rain]

then only add red flares and save the broken content for when it works lol

[lethal ore]

but you can use the other ones for a barter trade

[hardy rain]

fair

[mighty dragon]

anyone want to help me do the introudction quest

nvm

[lethal ore]

just do it

[mighty dragon]

i don't know where to go based off where i spawn

[lethal ore]

map

[hearty magnet]

download map genie on your phone or smthing

[hardy rain]

yo epicchad why are you in the beginners assistance channel if all you do is shit talk people rather than help

[lethal ore]

bruh people shouldnt be asking people to play for them

[hardy rain]

people can ask for help locating something on a map like woods bro

if you dont like it dont be in the channel

[mighty dragon]

is an enemys gun supposed to sounds like lazers while shooting red tracers

[hardy rain]

lol

[elfin pendant]

im having an issue where after i get out of a raid, if i try to queue up again it stays in matching forever and i have to close the game and open it again to get into a raid. anyone else have this problem?

[hardy rain]

yea thats happened a bit what servers are you set to look through?

wheni had that problem it set me to a single east coast server

[elfin pendant]

i play on all US servers and a a couple of western europe

[craggy peak]

So for the prapor quest where you go into big red, get the folder, and have to plant it in factory afterwards

[lethal ore]

Maybe you play at a time where the game is at low population it usually takes me 2 minutes to find a game

[craggy peak]

Am i basically fucked if I dont spawn near the plant spot?

[mint light]

no u can simply. walk there!!!

[lethal ore]

you dont have to do it right away you can put it in an off raid inventory to do it another time

[summer gust]

What is better ammo? Geksa or AP-M for 9.55x39

[craggy peak]

Yes but it is factory, so not really that simple

[summer gust]

OR FMJ

[craggy peak]

Ye i did offload it for now and am tryna figure out how to tackle it

[lethal ore]

AP-M

[craggy peak]

Some of these quests are such massive pains in the ass to do solo

[mint light]

u can kill the people or just book it. maps small

or just beg people to carry you if ur rly not confident

[lethal ore]

I got lucky and spawned next to it

[craggy peak]

I mean its factory lmao, if im simply unlucky and didnt notice somewhere near, im dead and I lose the item and have to start over. Yeah you can say "just run there " but due to the nature of factory, it does feel rather coinflip

[hardy rain]

factory is worst map in game by far

[craggy peak]

Welp guess i just go for it yolo

[mint light]

there are places u can go to avoid people

[hardy rain]

let me spawn you 5 feet from a 5 man team of chads in grade 5

[lethal ore]

most people dont play factory geared so if you got a kit use it

[mint light]

underground or between office/plane area

and factory is mostly timsters

[craggy peak]

Ye ill give it a shot, thanks

Will go underground if spawn is bad

Proceeds to spawn at pitchforks

[lethal ore]

Also hiding is not an option if Tagilla sniffs you out

[mint light]

what the fuck is pitchforks

[craggy peak]

Forklifts lul

[mint light]

forklifts? 😭

[craggy peak]

Its 3am relax

[mint light]

forklifts is one of the best spawns for that

[hardy rain]

pitchforks and torches!

[mint light]

run through glass hallway then blam ur done

[untold elm]

whats the best map rn?

[mint light]

labs

[untold elm]

apart from labs

[lethal ore]

preference always is

[mint light]

id say labs

[craggy peak]

I feel like everytime I spawn forklifts im dead within 10 seconds cause the two clowns that spawn nearby go there everytime if I take one step and they hear it

[lethal ore]

reserve or lighthouse do got mad loot if thats what ur looking for

[craggy peak]

Welp here goes nothing

[mint light]

run straight down glass hallway and bonk the guy. dont go left

[lethal ore]

Let me come in slick altyn lol

actually I dont think I own an altyn

[mint light]

good

brain bucket is dumb

[lethal ore]

its my special helmet

[spice pivot]

Any1 want to play with me?:D supernoob but wanna learn

[lethal ore]

#pvp-lfg best place to find others willing to play

[cobalt scarab]

best ammo out of these?

[austere hound]

https://eft-ammo.com/nofoodaftermidnight

[cobalt scarab]

is this count as pp?

nvm

[fringe summit]

I am trying to scroll through the door menu but I can't for some reason or is there a different bind to go up and down the door menu (when you try to open a certain door)

[rigid adder]

what servers do people use for empty raids

[cobalt scarab]

its 4am est

[untold elm]

its scroll wheel when youre in the menu thing

[sturdy elm]

these goggles worth anything?

[surreal wedge]

Any way to make humanitarian supplies any more bearable? Trying to do it with punisher 1 is agonizong

[sturdy elm]

Ok I sold them

[weak flax]

backpack me through Tarkov anyone

[uneven oxide]

what is this for

[weak flax]

?

[uneven oxide]

thank youu

[wispy stratus]

yo, i have a 556 mag that wont take 556 ammo anyone had that?

[ember wadi]

april fools prank that stayed in the game its just an airsoft mag

[wispy stratus]

haha , but really why

[ember wadi]

no it really is

[wispy stratus]

its july on april

[ember wadi]

idk it just stayed in

only event items they remove is usually the christmas or the halloween stuff

[wispy stratus]

its a legit mag though, i guess isell it?

[ember wadi]

yeah just sell it

you cant put rounds in it

[wispy stratus]

oi vei nikita is naughtevil

the description says it is for 556

why are u up so early?

ok u fell back asleeps

[mint light]

inspect it and look at the top

[wispy stratus]

look who it is?

wasssup max

[mint light]

hi

[wispy stratus]

the mag is airsifot?

[mint light]

yeah

look at the top of it

[wispy stratus]

nikita is a treickster like u

i see it now looking at the top .. hahahah

evil backawards is live. just live max

about 12 year

[mint light]

ive played for about 15

[wispy stratus]

that is why u are the max

[mint light]

dude i cant stop watching connereggs montage

its so good

[wispy stratus]

i meant 12 days

[jovial pecan]

Is there a specific order for crafting? Like in this case will the game pick a 1/3 Calok-B to craft a new 3/3 one

[wispy stratus]

i was wondering that

why u need a calok to make a clok?

calok

where are this weird wooden pin thing?

awl

[mint light]

ive done 15 years

of tarkov service

[craggy peak]

very common to find them on the shelves in the back of goshan, which is in interchange

there will be a bunch of the multilevel metal shelves in the back of the store, just walk along it and look out for stuff

can just scav in to do it

[wispy stratus]

that explains it..i dont know that map so i dare not enter the mall/

at awl

pun

[craggy peak]

well the back of the store is super easy to navigate since it is just legit a long hallway

highlighted spots is the shelves

even if you dont get the awl first try, odds are you find something of decent value along the way

[main nest]

Silencing my vector seems a bit pointless as i will already be very close right? or is it actually good?

[mint light]

muzzle flash hurts

always better to have suppressed guns as they lower recoil the most and remove muzzle flash

[summer gust]

6b2 vs paca which is better since they are both class 2

[mint light]

paca

[summer gust]

why?

[mint light]

effective durability is higher

[summer gust]

like less durability drained with bullets taken?

[dawn geyser]

no bad max

[mint light]

yes

[mint light]

why not

[dawn geyser]

Not allowed.

[mint light]

i cant ask people to carry me

didnt specify in this discord

[dawn geyser]

What?

[mint light]

what

[somber bison]

So I have all traders level 1. I was wondering if there was a sniper rifle or high damage gun I could run with a decent scope where I am right now.

Iirc I need an attachment to put scopes on the mosin so I'm pretty out of luck when it comes to that at least because I need prapor level 2 I think

[copper latch]

The VPO-215 comes with a rail, and there is a scope from skiere 1 that fits on there. Now your rounds arent the best obv. but they work for headshots and leg shots

[somber bison]

Is the VPO sold by anyone other than fence?

[copper latch]

Jaeger 1 should have it

and the scope is jaeger 1 as well

[somber bison]

[somber bison]

Is there a scope that zooms in more or is this the best I'm gonna get at this point?

[odd field]

Where is the best chance to find saleva?

[fallow totem]

Military camp is one, if you get there before others

woods

[copper latch]

probably the best youre gonna get, look for scopes in military and weapon crates (Flea market after level 15)

good scopes get expensive though

[somber bison]

gotcha thanks for the help. the whole weapon attachment thing is so overwhelming

[copper latch]

Yeah it takes time 🙂 Just play around with it 😄

[somber bison]

like yeeesh

[summer gust]

what is the point of devastator slugs?

[weary wigeon]

Supply Plans (Woods Sawmill Folder) - Turn into Therapist or Skier? :)

[maiden sky]

Id say skier as therapist is easier to lvl up

[weary wigeon]

👍🏼

[brittle canyon]

it’s devastating to your morale when you realize it doesn’t do shit

[feral scaffold]

whats the best thing to do with bitcoins?

[vivid surge]

if you are short on money now sell them to therapist or save up 10 btc for the weapon case barter on mechanic lvl 2

[feral scaffold]

Alright, is it true its based off real life, heard something bout that

[vivid surge]

it is yes, it is 0.2 of the real btc value

[feral scaffold]

thats cool

[vivid surge]

so i guess you could hold out and see if it goes up irl but depends on your current eft situation.

[feral scaffold]

yeah

is there any "best" places to find btc?

[vivid surge]

there is, they are called high loot valuable spawns. Google the eft interactive map and use the filters to find the spawns or alternatively just yt them.

[feral scaffold]

Alright thanks for the help

[summer mesa]

yo anyone willing to take me on shoreline? I have sinal part 3 and Health care privacy part 2 and i dont know the map very well so im stuck lol
NA

[feral scaffold]

You have 2 monitors?

[summer mesa]

yes

[feral scaffold]

Pull up a map of shoreline

But I can try to help later on if you don’t get someone to help

[summer mesa]

kk thx ye ive been trying but keep dying lol

[feral scaffold]

That’s the best way to learn a map🤷‍♀️

[summer mesa]

true

[mighty wind]

I feel like I've got the hang if customs after loosing my whole stash to it but I'm not making a cent from it. I want a map that I can do loot runs and I'm not finding that here, the runs that are in place feel like band aid solutions for what is in reality a horrible map for money. I want to learn interchange for this very reason. Is this map too hard for someone new to the game and should I go for something like woods instead? Also I'm only level 5 after like 30 hours this wipe and idk what I'm doing wrong. This is abit off topic but my point is that I dont want a map which requires 100 keys to do loot runs

[polar pollen]

this your first wipe?

[swift spade]

a few wipes ago i made money by doing interchange/shoreline hidden stash runs. not sure if its still viable

[feral scaffold]

I personally run lighthouse

Just gotta avoid those rogue bastards

[mighty wind]

Technically third, but I didn't play at all the first 2 but I wanted to get my moneys worth from eod and I'm really starting to enjoy it. I just hate how tedious the items for the quests and hideout are

[mighty wind]

I was against lighthouse as it got the expansion so I assumed all the good players would be on it

[feral scaffold]

Not really

I barely run into players

[mighty wind]

I see

[feral scaffold]

Light house is pretty good cause there’s 4 stashes in a row

Found a tank battery in one this morning

Interchange is very good aswell

But everytime I die to some bs

[mighty wind]

I also dont understand why everyone in this game is horrendous, every single pmc (apart from one) stands still and doesn't fight back. every time I've died it's been from having no legs or raiders

[feral scaffold]

Yeah

[mighty wind]

Is there skill based mm or something?

[feral scaffold]

Nah

Not that I know of

[mighty wind]

I swear everyone is horrendous and noone has these good guns I really want

[bold kernel]

There isn't

just puts you in with whatever players there are

[mighty wind]

I see

[feral scaffold]

I feel just play what your comfortable on

[mighty wind]

I'm comfortable to a degree on customs it's just that I'm losing all my items to it and all the loot guides give them the best loot in the world and me nothing

I dont get it

Like how do they get "5 million" in one run

[feral scaffold]

Prob older videos

[coral turtle]

I never liked Customs for loot, I prefer Reserve and Woods. Give those a try

[feral scaffold]

But step out your comfort zone if you want and learn a new map, it’s not gonna hurt. The only thing that will hurt is losing stuff on customs. I hate customs

[coral turtle]

^^^

[feral scaffold]

Only time I go on customs is for quest

[coral turtle]

Nope

[coral turtle]

You just got lucky and came across newbies up until now, that's why.

[mighty wind]

Interchange? I wanted to learn that, I played woods a long time ago but its so easy to get lost and I hate that as finding locations is the hardest part for me

[feral scaffold]

Interchange is pretty simple

[coral turtle]

Interchange is interesting ... Outside the mall, you have the caches, inside ... you can come across PMCs and Killa easily

[feral scaffold]

Yeah

[coral turtle]

Woods is actually not as hard as you might think, I can help you if you want

I know it like the back of my hand

[feral scaffold]

When you learn the landmarks it’s easy

[coral turtle]

^^^

[feral scaffold]

Woods is my favorite map along with lighthouse

[mighty wind]

Maybe I'll go back to it then, last time I played it I got a bunch of loot and died to landmines because I had no clue they were on the map

[coral turtle]

I can tell you where we are within 5 seconds of spawning. Unless we spawn just South-East of USEC Camp, it's such a rare spawn that it always confuses me xD

[feral scaffold]

Same

[summer gust]

why are there so many deadly sounding ammos that do jack shit lmao

[coral turtle]

They're on the edge of the map and some behind USEC Camp. Use Mapgenie to check that

[mighty wind]

Yeah it was going to extract as USEC Camp

[coral turtle]

@mighty wind Look at that, I was with 2 other people, we looted a bit of ScavTown, then some caches along the way towards USEC camp, we came across 2 PMCs these which we killed. Everybody got plenty of loot, but that was what I got, pretty good I would say

Everything that has the checkmark, as you know, it's found in raid

[feral scaffold]

That’s like 100k maybe more

[coral turtle]

Waaaaay more xD

[feral scaffold]

Yeah

[copper latch]

because most ammo isnt designed to compete with top level armor

[mighty wind]

I just pickup everything I find

[summer gust]

I dont think they can even pierce the most basic armour

e.g rip rounds

[feral scaffold]

That’s pretty good but if you find something worth more pick that up

[coral turtle]

I don't know the prices yet, but last wipe, towards the end. Moonshine was 200K. Fast MT was like 70K ?. Ophtalmoscope is 50-150K. Sugar is 50-70K. CondMilk is 15-25K. Bolts are 15-30K. DryFuel is 10-25K.

[mighty wind]

Is it worth playing with someone? I play solo all the time

[copper latch]

they split on impact, so they cant pierce shit, but they hurt as hell if you hit flesh

[summer gust]

but can they even frag with below 20 pen?

[coral turtle]

They are made to absolutely destroy unarmored targets, like limbs

[feral scaffold]

Yes

[left summit]

do i get peacekeeper quests after golden swag quest from skier ?

[feral scaffold]

You have to do friend from the west

Part 1

[mighty wind]

Even if they are horrendous?

[coral turtle]

Go to https://eft.monster/

[feral scaffold]

Wdym by “horrendous “

[summer gust]

is there any point to keeping dese rounds?

[feral scaffold]

Like bad?

[mighty wind]

Buy my m8 the game

[left summit]

when do i get this quest ?

[coral turtle]

Eh, depends. But even with somebody who is pretty bad at the game, yes. Because, that's 1 less Enemy PMCs in the raid, and also cannon fodder XD

Also, noobs have the most luck honestly

[feral scaffold]

After golden swag

[mighty wind]

Aight

[left summit]

ight thanks

[feral scaffold]

Those damn Timmy’s 😭😭

[coral turtle]

Which ones ?

[mighty wind]

Aight imma crank up my gamma and try to learn interchange

[feral scaffold]

Hell yeahh

[coral turtle]

I can help you ! @mighty wind

[summer gust]

rip, devastator,

[coral turtle]

Haven't played Interchange in a while, and not the biggest fan, but he

[coral turtle]

Absolutely

Not only are they expensive on the Flea market, but they are actually useful

[mighty wind]

How so?

[feral scaffold]

I love rip 12 gauge

[coral turtle]

Don't aim for Centermass, go for legs. Preferably with an SMG that has at least 30 rounds in the mag

[coral turtle]

I can tag along and guide you a bit ? I'm also kinda bored now sooo

[feral scaffold]

Lmao

[coral turtle]

Also, I'm not super high level or anything sooo ...

[mighty wind]

Sounds good, only issue is that I'm on aussie servers

[coral turtle]

Ah fuck ...

Nevermind xD

[mighty wind]

Ah well

[coral turtle]

Quite literally impossible due to Ping restrictions

[feral scaffold]

Just have a map pulled up

[mighty wind]

It is?

[coral turtle]

I can play EU and Eastern Coast

Yea, if you have more than ... 180 ping ? You get kicked from the raid

[mighty wind]

Ah I see

[coral turtle]

Well, I wish you the best in your journey and if you have any questions, feel free to ask

[mighty wind]

Will do, thanks

[coral turtle]

Also, use https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/interchange

[mighty wind]

I prefer the maps on the wiki

[coral turtle]

This is better, trust me

You can select what you see on the map

[mighty wind]

Ik but the one on the wiki is 3d

[coral turtle]

Like, PMC spawns, Jackets, Toolboxes, caches

Locked doors, quest items and everything

It's up to you, but give this a try as well

[mighty wind]

I have before but this one really helped me learn customs over that one but I'll see if this is better for interchange

[coral turtle]

Oh yea, that's also really nice

As I've said, it's up to you. Maybe use this one to learn the layout, but then switch to Mapgenie when you're actually looking for the items and whatnot ? idk, I just feel like Mapgenie gives you more information

When it comes to items and whatnot

[feral scaffold]

Couldn’t have said it better

[mighty wind]

yup

[coral turtle]

Also ... not bragging but this comes from somebody who technically ... has been around for ... 4 wipes ?

Technically

[feral scaffold]

Lmao

[coral turtle]

Not saying I'm a pro, or anything, don't wanna come off as a douche.

Just my experience while navigating the maps and trying to learn them

[summer gust]

should i buy a class 3 unitar armour instead of paca? Its like 6k more expensive but that doesnt seem like much

[feral scaffold]

What class is a paca again

[coral turtle]

2

Go for the Blueberry armor, it's nice

I used to never run Class 3 armors, but I kinda like them now

They've saved me a bunch, where a lvl2 wouldn't have

[mighty wind]

How do I get all these "good guns" all the streamer and youtubers have? Do I need to get the flea market for that and then I do loot runs till I get enough?

also is there a way to get good stats fast or does it just come with time?

[bold kernel]

Im trash at scav rep farming and I need help, Bad.

[coral turtle]

Flea Market helps, and leveling up traders does as well

[mighty wind]

I see

[coral turtle]

Stats can be increased "fast". If you look it up, there's guides. For example, Endurance can be leveled up faster by running while overweight.

Also, there's some things in your hideout which affect that as well

If you do a quick search you'll find tons of videos on it, it's very simple

[mighty wind]

Aight thanks

[bold kernel]

wot

[coral turtle]

And every time you extract as a Scav, you get 0.01. You also get some for killing Traitor Scavs or PMCs that killed Scavs during that raid

[coral turtle]

First wipe ?

[bold kernel]

Not really, just havent been that active the past few wipes, and the scav rep is confusing tf out of me...

I've got a 30 min scav and that shit is trash.

[coral turtle]

Check dms

[static nebula]

i cant use meds after the 3 kills?

[remote kettle]

Until you extract you cant heal

[static nebula]

😦

[coral turtle]

Mhmm ...

Quite a bitchy quest, just like ... almost every other quest of Jaeger

[static nebula]

painkiller counts as medicine?

what about vodka

[coral turtle]

Don't think so ...

[limber notch]

Why would u drink vodka anyway?

[static nebula]

wiki said i can die after the 3 kills, as you dont have to survive xd

[crystal oracle]

You cant use meds before killing scavs

once you get the 3 kills you can use meds

[static nebula]

no it fails if you use meds

[limber notch]

Yeah

[crystal oracle]

Wait fr?

Rip

[limber notch]

Then you need to manually restart the quest

[crystal oracle]

Wtf

Can anyone help me with Pharmicist and Shaking up Teller quest?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/903670548721188885/998200479504928878/unknown.png

Also

Wtaf is this

[static nebula]

hakers

[crystal oracle]

Thoughyt so

[coral turtle]

🤣

Surprised ?

[pallid kernel]

guys what does MOA mean?

[crystal oracle]

MIA?

Missing in Action

[pallid kernel]

no

the gun stat

moa

[coral turtle]

Basically ... the accuracy

[crystal oracle]

Oh

[pallid kernel]

should that number be high or low?

[crystal oracle]

Ye just accuracy

[coral turtle]

Low

[crystal oracle]

Low

[pallid kernel]

alright

ty

[crystal oracle]

Like 3 moa is considered bad

Im pretty sure

[coral turtle]

Depends on the range at which you want to shoot

CQC, doesn't really matter ...

[pallid kernel]

im comparing the vepr 136 and the sks

[coral turtle]

the VEPR is good

But not that good ...

[pallid kernel]

some people recommend one over the other

[crystal oracle]

Bruh I really need Shaking up teller done and Pharmicist

[coral turtle]

I don't even have those quests

[crystal oracle]

I need to go into 2 story and 3 story dorms

[coral turtle]

It depends on the ammo type honestly. Technically, 366 AP is a BEAST ! Insane round, but it's not all that accurate

And the VEPR doesn't even have a threaded barrel, so it's really not accurate

Good ammo for it is hard to come by at low levels

You're better off using an SKS with a PSO and PS ammo

[pallid kernel]

yea

probably

[coral turtle]

PS ammo was always good, and now it's even better

It got buffed

[pallid kernel]

also the 136 is not that cheap

30k

[coral turtle]

It used to have 30, now it has 35. It can go through lvl4 armors within like ... 3 shots or something

[pallid kernel]

hopefully i wont meet people with lvl 4 armor

[coral turtle]

Still won't be a huge issue

[pallid kernel]

cuz they are probably much better than me

[coral turtle]

Just a few shots and their armor won't exist anymore

Nah, there's a cheap lvl4 armor you can get from Ragman lvl2

If I remember correctly

[pallid kernel]

which map would you say is "beginner friendly"

[coral turtle]

Or if they're running Ceramic armor, that will get destroyed on the first shot

[pallid kernel]

cheap?

[coral turtle]

I mean ... it's like 40-50K ?

That's technically Cheap for a lvl4

And it's Titanium so it repairs well

[pallid kernel]

the Uley?

its class 3

[coral turtle]

Depends ... I've always liked woods, it's usually pretty relaxed, but hard to navigate for new players

[coral turtle]

No, 6B5

or no

[pallid kernel]

thats the uley

[coral turtle]

Not 6B5

thats the strongest armor i can get from him

[coral turtle]

There is a 6B5 Level 4, but that's Ceramic, it will only stop the first shot

I said lvl2 Ragman

[pallid kernel]

oh sorry

[coral turtle]

6B3TM-01M. That's the one I'm talking about

[pallid kernel]

i though you said lvl 1

[pallid kernel]

ah

still thats like really expensive

even the class 3 one

[coral turtle]

Technically, yes, they are expensive

But his ^ . It's lvl4 and it repairs really well

And you get it back from insurance pretty often

Because usually, if you get in a big fight, it will get destroyed

So people won't take it, but you'll get it back in insurance and repair it

[pallid kernel]

yea people dont hit me in the thorax usually

[coral turtle]

And it won't be that bad. Even a 0/40 will repair up to like ... 35/40

[pallid kernel]

most of my insured pacas come with 45+ durability

i get hit in the head very often

[coral turtle]

Yea, it is pretty expensive. But ! It is lvl3, which is acceptable for small fights and scavs, and it also repairs well. AND ! you usually get it back in Insurance

[coral turtle]

We all do

[coral turtle]

Because they don't stop a lot of bullets and you die quickly, they're also Aramid so they don't get that destroyed

It all depends on the material

[pallid kernel]

im aware that there is a material system

and like the effective durability

is different

even if stats say otherwise

[coral turtle]

Yea

[pallid kernel]

my biggest struggle rn is actually seeing players

cuz i usually go without a fight

[coral turtle]

That comes with time

Your eyes getting used to actually spotting the players

You know, filtering out the useless visual ques

[pallid kernel]

so far ive only killed scavs and only one pmc that i managed to ambush and still almost lost

[coral turtle]

That's a start

[pallid kernel]

guy only had a kedr and nothing else

[coral turtle]

^

[pallid kernel]

i guess

[summer mesa]

could i please get help with the signal part 3 task i keep dying and dont know the map very well, im trying to follow a map on my other monitor but keep dying lol

[pallid kernel]

i think im doing better using the sks

[coral turtle]

I'm nowhere close to that quest, sorry

[coral turtle]

It's a nice gun, that's for sure

[pallid kernel]

first match i managed to drop 4 scavs and 2 of them were at a reasonable distance

[summer mesa]

all good lol

[coral turtle]

Do you have Jaeger unlocked ?

[pallid kernel]

i had little to no success with ak 74s and pp 19s

[coral turtle]

The SKS is a bigger caliber, does more damage

[coral turtle]

.

[pallid kernel]

yea 7.62x39 seems nice

compared to 5.45

[coral turtle]

ahem

[rancid nova]

dont run AK unless you run medium->high modded

[coral turtle]

@pallid kernel

[pallid kernel]

yes

i didnt know you were asking me sorry

[coral turtle]

Nah, you can run them unmodded as well, or with barely any mods, the work for starters

[rancid nova]

OP SKS is better than regular

[pallid kernel]

op sks also costs 50% more

wihout the scope

[rancid nova]

i wouldnt run AK without mods

oh yea

i run regular SKS often too

[coral turtle]

You can get another SKS for Jaeger, and you can throw a scope on it. It's worth it sometimes

[rancid nova]

you dont have to scope sks

[pallid kernel]

the iron sights on prapors arent too bad

[rancid nova]

i go iron sights all the time

[coral turtle]

Look at this Beauty

[rancid nova]

its not black = bad modding

[pallid kernel]

i imagine that i would have to give up half of my money

for one of those

[rancid nova]

[coral turtle]

Piss off, I'm lvl 10 😆

[rancid nova]

im joking

[coral turtle]

Nah, it's like ... 50K ? The Suppressor I found in a raid
