[mint light]

👍

[vernal fiber]

Depends on your current economical status

[mint light]

i hate flash light users!!!!

[vernal fiber]

if you're the poorest man in tarkov with only like 400k roubles and 700USD

Thats literally a stimulus check

[mint light]

intel is worth big dolla

golden roosta worth dolla

tetris worth dolla

bear bear worth dolla

[bold kernel]

[mint light]

blue laser like 5k

you are crippin

[bold kernel]

i bought red

[glad trail]

Flash light and laser on one gun

[edgy elbow]

wait, so i failed the mission?

[mint light]

ok

[bold kernel]

wish me bad luck

[mint light]

no

just go and extract

[edgy elbow]

multiple tries or 1 try only?

[glad trail]

@mint light how do you feel?

[bold kernel]

he feels good

[edgy elbow]

because factory is litterly a coinflip, you spawn on the wrong side and you are almost pronounced dead

[rotund ermine]

However many times it takes you to extract. You already stashed the item so you're good.

[mint light]

i am fine because u put it on some shit cannon

[edgy elbow]

oh nice

[glad trail]

Double barrel costs less then a bottle of water its ez snowball from a scav in factory

[glad trail]

i get lvl 15 im buying a juicer gun just 4u

[edgy elbow]

[mint light]

[bold kernel]

i got a free aks as scav

[mint light]

wait till u figure out scav shit is broken and sucks 🤯

[bold kernel]

?? it IS????

[dusty wind]

if i were you i would go somewhere else as a scav

[bold kernel]

is the saiga 9 good

[dusty wind]

factory kinda small its gonna be looted already

[mint light]

awful

especially if its a scav saiga

stop using scavaroony weapons

[dusty wind]

most of the power is gonna come from the ammo

and scavs usually arent using the best ammo

[bold kernel]

i died

[mint light]

scavs have very few good ammo spawns and pscavs cant have a few of them

[dusty wind]

yeah factory isnt really begginer freindly

its where people go if they want pvp

[mint light]

its shit pvp but its pvp

[bold kernel]

is a mosin good

[sour night]

scav factory isnt too bad but as pmc,goodluck

[mint light]

not really!!!

[bold kernel]

already bought it

[mint light]

especially if its a scav gun!!!

it will pen people just dont miss

or get into cqb

[dusty wind]

mosins have some decent stopping power early game cus of the ammo

but if you miss you will get dropped

[mint light]

just use 7.62 ps

[bold kernel]

ps or tcw sp

because i have either

both

[mint light]

two different calibers

[bold kernel]

nvm

[slim fractal]

also aim at the head, otherwise they don't die

[mint light]

insightful

[dusty wind]

it can penetrate low ish level armour

[bold kernel]

what map

[dusty wind]

so chest shots will work on like scavs and stuff

[slim fractal]

do tasks

[bold kernel]

i have a mosin, 20ish rounds of ammo, a knife, nothing else

[slim fractal]

get esmarch and army bandage

[dusty wind]

woods is good

[slim fractal]

otherwise ur gonna bleed out

[bold kernel]

i go woods

[dusty wind]

its not too hard to learn because theres some good landmarks

[bold kernel]

ok

[dusty wind]

but its difficult to navigate until you learn them

[mint light]

wherever u have tasks

[slim fractal]

on woods, i usually go to the village for scav murder through the fence or emercom camp for fat loot

[dusty wind]

i would pull up a map on your phone and make sure you watch the huge mountain in the middle as thats how you get bearings

[bold kernel]

i have the jaeger message task

[dusty wind]

go to the plane crash site

[mint light]

bruh u havent got jaeger

go get him lil bruhg

[slim fractal]

u go next to the airplane and its under a jaeger shack

[dusty wind]

his hut is next to that

there is a little message underneath the little hunting shack

[slim fractal]

avoid sawmill, its heavily contested

[bold kernel]

ok

i am tempted to make a joke

[proper radish]

[edgy elbow]

learn paths that people are less likely to watch or take on the map and take them yourself

if that dosent work, try to put up a fight, you never know if you might win

[brave wolf]

quick question does anyone have RB-SMP and RB-KSM ? since i need some help with disease History

[pallid kernel]

Is any of this shit good?

[obtuse shoal]

ANY GAMERS GOT BLUE TAPE

KEY

[junior swallow]

does anyone know what time the daylight time is?

[pallid kernel]

it starts around 5:30 i think

and ends about 21:30

from what ive heard

[junior swallow]

dope, thanks

[mild notch]

can anyone help with with some tasks on woods as i'm not very familiar with the layout. - need to find jaegers note, the usec camp and the convoy

[pallid kernel]

woods is pretty easy to learn

there are very specific landmarks you can orient yourself with

everywhere

[mild notch]

perfect 🙂

[pallid kernel]

the only tricky part for me is the west side

since its mostly trees and rocks if you spawn there

[kindred grotto]

The hardest part about woods is knowing where you spawn lol

I still get confused sometimes

[pallid kernel]

east and north spawns are pretty easy tbh

since most of them have a landmark specific to them

[kindred grotto]

The one near usec camp is always so confusing lmao

That's the only one really

for me

[pallid kernel]

i get lost when i spawn anywhere west

like far west

honestly southeast is the easiest spawn to figure out

like that road is very specific

that goes to roadblocks

also medcamp isnt far

[royal monolith]

any of these guns worth keeping?

[keen viper]

Would you say 10xHolodnicks of sugar will be enough for now?
Around 640 sugar that is.

[silk scroll]

mk16 is good

[royal monolith]

I just looted rouges dead bodies so they might jam?

[keen viper]

CTRL+L CTRL+T

[royal monolith]

ik ik

[pallid kernel]

should i sell .300 blackout v-max ammo?

[pallid kernel]

just a moment

[edgy plover]

What kind of flare?

It can take a few minutes - yea

[edgy elbow]

about time i clean up the holy grail, what goes?

[edgy plover]

No one knows where you are in terms of hideout/quests/barters you want/crafts you want/etc.

So my advice to everyone is pretty much the same, you have three options.

1. Check everything using https://tarkov-market.com/ and the info it provides for quest and hideout requirement and for flea prices. It's otherwise impossible to know, without significant experience or asking other people every time, what you'll need anytime soon, or what sells for substantial money to other players. Then you can decide what things you'll need soon enough, and which items sell for enough, to hold onto. This is quicker in the long run and more profitable, but is tedious.
2. Check what you'll need right now, check what hideout upgrades and quests you could do if you simply had the right items (Not locked behind other prerequisites). Keep those things that you need at the moment, sell most everything else. You'll figure out what you need as you get to things, and learn through experience. It will be slower in the long run as you'll have to look for things you may have sold, but not as hoardy and you spend more time in raid.
3. Set a particular goal - maybe two or three hideout upgrades you want and get your list of like 5-10 items together. Sell everything else. This is the most "to hell with inventory management" approach, and you'll certainly sell things that you'll need again or could have sold for more, but you'll spend all your time in-raid.
   Up to you

[odd field]

How much is this worth?

[misty ginkgo]

Trader Price

You can’t sell it on Flea

[odd field]

Okay, ty

[misty ginkgo]

~140k if you wanna buy it using barter

[final frigate]

Can somebody here open dorms marked for me?

[obtuse shoal]

@misty ginkgo my bbg

[pallid kernel]

when mounting flashlights, should i mount them on the left or the right side

from my pov

[misty ginkgo]

Right

I like to be able to see more

[pallid kernel]

ok

[weary wind]

Anyone else getting reconnects and message saying charter is still in raid after update?

[royal monolith]

.45 acp fmj or .45 acp lasermatch fmj?

[opaque vine]

fmj

not lasermatch

[urban pagoda]

Any tips for doing Prapors early dorms task on customs? I’ve learned the map but I keep getting rocked by high level PVPers

[turbid lagoon]

U can find a team

Should be quicker

[urban pagoda]

I might have to do that lol I can run interchange and woods just fine but customs is so hard for me

[royal monolith]

maybe try doing them at night

and rat till late raid

[turbid lagoon]

Have u tried ratting around and go night time?

Recently the night pretty bright

No need NVG

[native ridge]

Level 42 helping new players by scaving dm if you want to join

[remote kettle]

What are the boss spawnrates at now?

[crystal oracle]

Very low

Like under 8% now

[remote kettle]

They nerfed it again? They were buffed to 15% last i checked

[thorn rune]

any tips for improving at pvp? just getting destroyed the second i come face to face with pmc's feels like i cant even get 2 shots off before im dead lmao

[obtuse shoal]

they didnt

he buggin

[final frigate]

Can somebody open Cottage back door for me?

[pallid kernel]

you have to know where he is before he knows where you are

thats the best way

[spiral flicker]

🐀

[pallid kernel]

face to face gunfights are a 50/50 at best

[spiral flicker]

just cheat xd

[pallid kernel]

trueeeee

[lone hinge]

i got head eyes by a scav but i had an visor if reperarit the crack will dispear?

[thorn rune]

the few times i’ve actually heard someone coming round a corner i still end up getting clapped lmao

[lone hinge]

i can't

i need to buy a new one

[pallid kernel]

positioning

and of course reflexes

but more positioning

and knowing the area

[lone hinge]

+flanking

[covert siren]

nah i think sound is one of the most important things in a fight

[spiral flicker]

ofc it is

[pallid kernel]

i didnt say it isnt

where did you get that

[lone hinge]

yea if he dosen't know where you are

or if you are there

or if you have a btter position like a room with lots of cover

2 exits minimum

like the garage on custom

or the crack hause

[pallid kernel]

basically know the map

and the layout of the area you are in

[covert siren]

takes very long

[pallid kernel]

no shit

[covert siren]

got 300 hours and dont know shit haha

[lone hinge]

new med tools icon confirmed?!

[thorn rune]

just been running customs so far feel like i’m starting to get there in terms of learning the map like where i am when i spawn and scav/pmc spawns but yeah i guess i need to work on my positioning, just been trying to walk whenever possible so i can hear someone before they hear me

[pallid kernel]

simply put it, you will get better over time

if you try to

and also know when to walk and when to run

[thorn rune]

just feels like whenever i get into a fight i shoot twice if that and then i’m already dead, doesn’t even feel like i’m landing my shots lmao, been doing some offline factory runs with scavs set to horde to try and improve my aim a bit more

[pallid kernel]

again, tarkov has a lot of stuff to take in at once

people you fight probably have a few wipes behind them

you cant expect to instantly be better than them

but you can practice

it just takes time

and some dedication

[covert siren]

also most people in tarkov already have more than 1.5 k hours

[pallid kernel]

yea

[covert siren]

so its hard to play with them on a level

[thorn rune]

oh yeah for sure i’m not even expecting to win fights at this point i was just asking for some more specific advice on how to get better other than just you know playing as much as possible (which i’m currently trying to do whenever i’ve got time lmao)

i’m not longer dying to scavs in the first 3 minutes of raids though so that’s some improvement in my eyes lol

[pallid kernel]

its very hard to give specific advice, since a lot of factors go into fights and how they turn out

thats a big improvement

[covert siren]

watch some of the streamers guids and u will become bether very fast

[pallid kernel]

scavs are the first few steps of combat

[final frigate]

Can somebody open Cottage back door for me?

[pallid kernel]

this

i would recommend gigabeef and veritas

and pestily

especially his raid series

[thorn rune]

yeah been watching a lot of karmakut’s videos i’ll check out those guys as well

[covert siren]

yeah ive learned lots of stuff by them like mechanics and other shit

[pallid kernel]

problem with people like karmakut imo is that they only show their good raids

and i dont think you get to learn much

pestilys raid series shows every single raid

from the start

and his every mistake

every death

and he explains stuff along the way

and pestily is like one of the best players

[thorn rune]

i’ve seen his name come up but i’ve not watched anything so i’ll definitely check him out thanks man i appreciate the help from you all

[pallid kernel]

np

[rain wing]

NO

NOOOO

I HAD A TANK BATTERY

FUCK

[royal monolith]

Can you craft items while upgrading?

[long salmon]

whats the best farming method for this jeager 40m scav kill with no scope. im using the mosin but i feel its too hard

[kindred grotto]

I did mine shooting at sniper scavs at shoreline

[unborn elk]

how much can i sell this for and to what trader

[kindred grotto]

use it

[unborn elk]

im new

[long salmon]

shoreline scares me. every time i go there mega giga chads hunt me down like im an escaped pow

[unborn elk]

and have no money

[reef spoke]

Woods and take your time

[mild notch]

just found a secure flash drive, are they useful/valuable?

[dire monolith]

You need a few for quests found in raid

2 for one and 3 for another

[mild notch]

thank you

[twilit hull]

You're "new" managed to kil a player as a scav.. get a SICK gun, armor etc.. have a scav junk box and a mag case? and have "no money" I smell a troll.

[queen steeple]

Does AP-M not 1 shot thorax anymore? The wiki says it should still do it, but people just dont die. I even see dmg blocked! Does everyone on shoreline wear lvl 5 or is the dmg dropoff horrible?

[jagged laurel]

Def a troll lol

[arctic whale]

do i keep dogtags

?

[long salmon]

also whats the best sniper to use for the no scope sniper kills at 40meters? mosin isnt working well

[long salmon]

yes invest in the dogtag case

[nimble leaf]

For the scavs? I ran a gornasty

[idle patrol]

@long salmon mosin is probably going to be your best shot. highly recommend BT rounds

[long salmon]

is BT rounds sold from a trader before flea opens?

[nimble leaf]

No

[long salmon]

im level 12 so i cant get those rounds xD

[nimble leaf]

Can't be bought on the flea either

[green portal]

where is a good place to find the items needed for the Scav case? I was thinking the Interchange lockers

[nimble leaf]

Gornasty is cheap, and FMJ is decent enough.

[nimble leaf]

Can find lions on the displays in IDEA

[green portal]

but I'm not sure where all the lockers are? front of Goshan, front of Idea, anywhere else?

[green portal]

what displays?

[nimble leaf]

The furniture displays, it's random

Goldchains, and skulls can also be found in jackets

[green portal]

right on, thank you. I never look at them

[steady zenith]

i honestly dk how to play this 💀

i did one raid as a scav but i didnt have a map so i couldnt find out where to go

[pallid kernel]

night raids on customs are scary af

good god

[lunar nymph]

im looking for somebody to help me out with finding a salewa and find the pocket watch for prapor, im level 8 (NA)

[thorn rune]

use map genie bro, just pull it up on a second monitor while you play or if no second monitor hide just tab out to it quick

[green portal]

you can also play for the Medstation to craft the Salewa

[pallid kernel]

its recommended to play that map either offline a few times or as a scav

while using mapgenie

so you get your bearings

and you know the map when you use pmc

[lunar nymph]

I dont have the materials for the medstation 💀

[pallid kernel]

what are you missing?

[lunar nymph]

syringe and medpile

[pallid kernel]

those are like the easiest things to find

go to any location related to meds

[green portal]

yeah you can play for that is what I'm saying

[pallid kernel]

and you will find plenty of both

[green portal]

Customs palace is probably easiest

[pallid kernel]

this

[lunar nymph]

ok

[pallid kernel]

you can do scav runs

if you are afraid to go with pmc

night scav raid is pretty chill

go fortress or crackhouse

[steady zenith]

ty. also playing w/o a group sucks if youre completely lost

[pallid kernel]

youll get both

[pallid kernel]

you can look for a landmark to orient yourself

and look at mapgenie

[thorn rune]

just have to try and learn the maps first before you can even attempt to try and do anything, just keep doing scav runs and offline raids on one map until you can figure out where you are from spawn and work out a route to the extractions, even if you have to have the map open still it helps to have a vague idea of where you are and the route you plan to take

[pallid kernel]

yea

the less you have to alt tab to look at the map, the better

[thorn rune]

i mean i fucking suck literally been playing for about 2/3 days but i’m starting to get the hang of customs in terms of navigation and routes just from trying again and again both as a scav and pmc

[pallid kernel]

i started playing about 3 or 4 days ago

[steady zenith]

im in w a random rn. and pulling up the map

[pallid kernel]

but just playing customs and woods got me to get familiar with them

ive started remembering some caches on customs

just go methodically and dont rush it

[errant wedge]

What shell do I use for spa tour bacause polueva is the only slug I can buy and it's useless

[dim herald]

bruh I just entered interchange as a scav , straight see a dead guy right next to an airdrop both not looted both fkn stacked what even

[thorn rune]

i’ve memorised like 4/5 on customs so far

[placid apex]

Hello

[pallid kernel]

i found woods to be a lot easier

[thorn rune]

mostly in and around old gas as i started out using that as a reference point, told myself if i can find old gas i know where i am and where to go from there lmao

[pallid kernel]

thats good

[placid apex]

I need help

[cold plume]

is anyone willing to run factory with me

[pallid kernel]

if you can orient yourself from where you spawn that means you got that part of the map

[thorn rune]

if i spawn on the right side i’m usually okay and navigating across it’s the spawn near crossroads i’ve not done much so i’m still trying to learn that area but i’m getting there

old gas/surrounding area and the warehouse area with warehouse 17 is definitely my most memorised so far just because i’ve been trying to get this pocket watch for about 6/7 raids now lmao

[pallid kernel]

the roler?

oh you mean prapors

[thorn rune]

nah the one for the quest checking i think it’s called

[pallid kernel]

going into a night raid helped me

to get it

you got the key for it i assume?

[thorn rune]

got the machinery key in one of my first scav runs but getting the actual watch is proving difficult

[pallid kernel]

yea just do a night raid

i dont think ive ever seen someone in customs

on a night raid

be it pmc or scav

i have heard gunshots but literally never met a real player

you should be able to walk up to the truck and extract no problem

[thorn rune]

okay i’ll give it a go when i’m next on, literally burnt through all of my cash today trying to get it lmao

got 2k left

[pallid kernel]

do a scav run man

you cant get proper gear

with 2k

[thorn rune]

yeah that’s my plan for my next session lol

[pallid kernel]

what do you take into raids?

im curious

like, your loadout

a typical one

[thorn rune]

sks with 20 rd mag, usually just one spare and some extra rounds, meds in my case, paca armour, small backpack as i’ve used all my big ones and lost them lmao, and whatever rig i have that changes most raids

and a headset usually the gssh or whatever it’s called as i’ve lost all my others

[pallid kernel]

so how much do you spend on your average loadout

what would all that equate to

[thorn rune]

honestly i don’t know i wasn’t keeping track tbh

[pallid kernel]

paca, helmet and gssh should be 65k

i think

[thorn rune]

probably about 100k then maybe

[pallid kernel]

thats quite a bit

[thorn rune]

that’s what i got recommended to take in on here

[pallid kernel]

its good

tho i usually keep my big backpacks

for now

since like, realistically i wont be able to pull that much loot

[cold plume]

would you reccomend the adar 2-15 for factory?

[pallid kernel]

i dont even know what that is

[thorn rune]

yeah i’ve got a couple big ones left and stopped using them when i realised they weren’t coming back from insurance lol

[cold plume]

a gun

[pallid kernel]

well i know its a gun

[thorn rune]

just use them for extra storage in my stash

[cold plume]

haha lmao

[pallid kernel]

taking a gun to factory is recommended

[cold plume]

someone wanna run factoiry with me?

[edgy plover]

It's semi auto and a rifle, so not great for super close quarters. Not the worst - but look for a submachine gun or shotgun if you want something a little more purpose-built

[cold plume]

ok

thx sheep

[thorn rune]

what would your recommend as a more budget load out?

[pallid kernel]

yea, just have realistic expectations, take your best gear if you are confident that you will at least be able to win a fight that raid

dont take expensive stuff when you know you wont make it

but also dont do pistol runs

[thorn rune]

i am not at all confident in the idea of winning fights lmao

[pallid kernel]

its not that hard

you will figure it out

[thorn rune]

unless it’s against scavs i just get rinsed the second someone sees me and i see them

yeah i know i’ll get better with time i just struggle a lot with the pvp atm

[edgy plover]

This is an excellent budget loadout - feel free to play around with other guns though. Saiga-9/PP-19 is one of my favorites

[pallid kernel]

my budget loadout is the same armor you take, i also buy a face cover (balaclava) and i take prapors sks tho i might upgrade to jaegers

for scopes

since those 2 sks are functionally the same but one can only use iron sights

and its not bad

[twin cairn]

Hey guys how do I get svd kills for punisher?

[thorn rune]

yeah i read that online i was wondering if you could put a sight on it and found out you need the op version

[pallid kernel]

i think if youve got enough money take op sks

if you are a bit low

[dull epoch]

Anybody want to play, tired of playing solos

[pallid kernel]

prapors will do just fine

[thorn rune]

haven’t even got jaeger yet lmao

[pallid kernel]

also mp 133 is pretty decent

if you shot legs

and face

[thorn rune]

just trying to learn customs a bit more before i tackle a woods run lol

[pallid kernel]

i like taking mp 133 on customs night raid and slapping a flashlight onto it

tho you will need the plastic handle thing from mechanic

its a hdd barter

[pallid kernel]

woods and customs have nothing incommon

[thorn rune]

wasn’t sure about using shotguns i’ve got one in my stash from a scav run, traded in my two mp133 for the starter quest so i’ll keep an eye out for more

[pallid kernel]

knowing one doesnt translate to knowing the other at all

[thorn rune]

oh yeah i know i just don’t want to overload my self with trying to memorise too much at the start

[pallid kernel]

also dont use guns that your scav spawns with or ones that you take off of other scavs

[thorn rune]

just trying to do one at a time to start with atm

[pallid kernel]

they got shit durability

sell em to mechanic if above 60 durability

[thorn rune]

yeah i’ve been stripping and selling scav weapons for cash

[pallid kernel]

yea

mp 133 is a beast

tho i recommend doing a few offline raids on factory

with horde mode and impossible scavs

until i did a few of those runs i was shooting center mass like an idiot

now i learned to shoot legs, or head

arms work too but you can hit thorax

and they can be in armor too

[thorn rune]

yeah that’s what i was doing after my money ran out today before work, just doing offline factory wirh them set to horde, kept the difficulty as is though

[pallid kernel]

do impossible, its not actually impossible but its closer to life or death situation

since you cant stand infront of one like a dummy

[thorn rune]

feel like i just need to get used to how the sks handles and recoils etc before i can start effectively putting up a fight in real pvp

okay yeah that makes sense i’ll try that next time

[green portal]

with RIP in a STM, do I aim for the legs or head?

[pallid kernel]

well of course face is better

if you can

[pallid kernel]

i think sks has pretty managable recoil

i hope you arent just spamming it

and are trying to hit precise shots

sorry i said are instead of arent

lmao

[thorn rune]

yeah i’m trying to primarily get headshots when i can from a distance, up close i just spam hip fire until they’re dead lmao

[pallid kernel]

i think spamming sks is pretty bad

unless they are like melee range

you should probably just focus either thorax or head

even lvl 5 body armor should go in like 3 or 4 shots

[thorn rune]

a lot of people have been telling me to hip fire when im within like 20ish meters

[pallid kernel]

i think it depends on the gun and situation

you will probably be able to decide that over time

[thorn rune]

yeah that’s fair

i’ll just have to keep running offline factory until i can get a bit better at aiming i think

played a lot of fps but this is a completely different beast

[pallid kernel]

yea just dont overdo it

[green portal]

any reason I would continually disconnect from server? has happened twice on two back-to-back Scav Interchanges. afraid to PMC

[pallid kernel]

yes

[pallid kernel]

i havent had any problems

so idk

[edgy otter]

looking for group NAE woods 12

[robust robin]

Go on #pvp-lfg then

[dapper galleon]

Just run real raids, offline grinding aim doesn’t really help

[lilac pebble]

how do you complete the introduction quest without being blasted in the face

[dapper galleon]

Hip fire sucks without a laser

[dapper galleon]

Luck and knowing where/ when to go to certain places to get there

Avoid hotspots

[pallid kernel]

it helps to get used to a gun

running like 1 or 2 offline factory runs till you die

on horde + impossible

can make a difference

[dapper galleon]

I use a wide range of guns

[lilac pebble]

@dapper galleon it feels like more luck than anything I just got blasted picking up the note haha and every other time im just getting caught by some pmc in the woods

[fervent ermine]

Horde + Impossible doesn’t simulate a real game tbf

Warframe enjoyer found

[pallid kernel]

i never said it did

[dapper galleon]

I feel that. It was hella camped day one

If you think you can navigate in the dark try night time

Most likely won’t be camped at night

[fervent ermine]

Night is usually getting blasted from god knows where

[lilac pebble]

@dapper galleon I might give it a try then because im getting sniped most of the time it seems. ive tried 5 times with no luck and ive stoped bringing stuff so i dont loose anythign

[pallid kernel]

so far night raids have been pretty "chill" for me

even tho im anxious the whole time

[dapper galleon]

Woods in a shell nut

[thorn rune]

just trying to get used to the gunplay not simulate a true online raid experience, impossible to do that when i’m getting rinsed the second i run into literally any pmc, get to shoot about 2 times before i’m dead

[dapper galleon]

Gun play is half the fight, other half is positions and angles

[pallid kernel]

not brining stuff in is very bad

at least bring a pistol, some cheap armor and a sling

and some meds up your ass

and once you get jaegers note you dip out of there

and also always bring a headset

always

even if you dont want to do pvp

[thorn rune]

yeah i get that but if i can’t even get the opportunity to shoot more than 2 bullets in an online raid how am i supposed to learn how the gun handles or how to aim properly lol

[dapper galleon]

Mate Ima be real just pull down

90% of the guns just go up

[solemn sparrow]

are .45 vector 30 rounders just not on flea at all? or are they consistently sold out? (first wipe actually trying out the vector)

[fervent ermine]

The guns kick up then you should pull down, after a sec of spraying, your pmc will autocontrol recoil, then you pull up

[fervent ermine]

Sold out

[dapper galleon]

Sold out as the gun slaps

[solemn sparrow]

rip

[pure mist]

Get the traders to run it

It’s gonna be expensive assuming there are mags on flea

[thorn rune]

again if i’m dying within 2 seconds of seeing someone i don’t really get a chance to even try attempting to pull down hence why i’m doing some offline factory raids so i can see how the gun handles when i get the chance to actually shoot

[solemn sparrow]

I just hit flea last night so its gonna be a minute before I get pk3 (I think its pk3? either way, I'm barely level 2 on a couple traders rn lol)

I'm just gonna save my vector until I collect some more mags for it lol

[dapper galleon]

If your dead instantly that’s not a issue with the gun. It’s where your standing or how your peeking. Or your just getting ego pushed by chads

[pure mist]

It’s not good without ap tho

[pallid kernel]

does running an offline factory raid hurt?

[pure mist]

Which is pk3

[dapper galleon]

Waste time you could be leveling your PMC or running scavs for cash

[thorn rune]

honestly the last thing i care about atm is levelling my pmc lol

[solemn sparrow]

I thought I could just run .45 fmj and it still performs well considering 1100 rpm lol

[pallid kernel]

maybe, and just maybe he cant level his pmc because he doesnt have enough game knowledge yet

and needs some help

[pure mist]

Not as well as you want

[pallid kernel]

learning the guns

[thorn rune]

when i can’t even get an extract due to not being good at the pvp in the slightest

[dapper galleon]

Best waste way to learn in this game is die in my opinion

Learn why you lost

Guns barely matter

The ammo matters

[pallid kernel]

i assume you have played this game for some time

[solemn sparrow]

this for sure. not only how you lost, but it helps you learn what ammo people are using (if you dont look up good ammo yourself)

[thorn rune]

i’m doing plenty of that i assure you

[pallid kernel]

and doing factory runs is a waste of time to you yes

[dapper galleon]

3rd wipe but my entire first wipe I leaned solo

[pure mist]

Just go in a map start learning layout

[dapper galleon]

If your gonna offline learn customs
