alright gonna test out tac30

late cave
#

For the M700 on woods I love using the Schmidt & Bender PM II

ancient halo
#

šŸ¤¢

late cave
#

it's only for bolt actions tho, as 8x is only good for very long range and is unusable in engagement shorter than 200 meters, also it's lying on the x1 as you get a little bit of magnification but you get used to it

ancient halo
#

It's like 5-20x lol

late cave

talking actual zoom šŸ™‚

#

compare it to the Hensoldt 4-16x and you'll see

don't undersell the PSO. PSO for life

#

yay they finally fixed prapors task "postman pat part 1" yaaaay, finally got to turn in the quest yay

ancient halo
#

whoops, thinking of the 3-12x, the 1-8x is like 2-12 or something like that

ancient halo
late cave
#

Also for long range the KMZ 1P69 is really cheap, it's only for long range tho as it's a 3x-10x

merry marsh
#

Seems like tac30 suits me just fine for now. gonna try Boble scope next time

severe mango
#

ah I missed the m700 part mentioned later

ancient halo
#

tac30 is pretty much the best value LPVO, other ones have issues or cost more

1P59/69 are decent, just need to click through a bunch of modes

#

any special tactics in order to get 10pmc kills for Punisher part 4 on shoreline?

rushing pmc spawns is the way to go if you want to get ez kills.

late cave
#

that or exfil camp jk it's annoying I'm on this quest too

merry marsh
#

insurance is absolutely pointless for solos, isn't it

acoustic lake
#

depends on the gear u run

merry marsh
#

basically just buffs squads the most.

acoustic lake
#

u can also mod your guns in certain ways so that attachments can't be taken off during raid, and u can make the gun big so it can't fit into backpack
often u get most of it back

#

dont carry many mags, rather carry bullets in yo pouch and well gl xd

late cave
#

If I had a nickel for every time I had to go on Shoreline dressed like a clown for a quest

merry marsh
#

some people sure get lucky with headshots

#

all it takes is just one bullet and you ''lost'' to them.

craggy swan
#

Just had the weirdest encounter at reserve.
I'm scavin and I encounter a squad of bears in the medical building late into the raid, they shoot me but miss all their shots and I run away.
a minute later, I go to scav lands and start shooting, the same squad comes by and we extract without any blood shed.

#

feels nice eft_politetanker

merry marsh
#

Had a guy eat 2 of my 9mm bullets to his face and he lived to tell the tale.

dapper marlin
late cave
#

Lay prone near the gas station at Shoreline, peeking point of entry, watching the hills
A good 10 minutes pass
Nothing will grant my SVD the chance of a kill here it seems
The lack of action here and the multitude of shots fired I hear in the Resort, Power Station and other place lead me to believe that there is nobody there
Every angle I can check seems clear
I decide to cross the bridge
Instantly get shot by multiple angles
Died after dodging shots for 2 minutes

dapper marlin
#

Except in factory and labs, never insure your stuff on those 2 @merry marsh

#

what did I do to be this unlucky?

dapper marlin

#

near outskirts on Woods

flat apex
#

i literally ran all over sawmill and didnt get shot, i run back to the big red cabin with logs under it and im getting shot by shturmanl mao

placid horizon
#

if he's insurance frauding, I got a pilgram for free, lol

craggy swan
#

braindead ai probably

flat apex
#

very pog, very consistent

pale shuttle
#

No, the AI is consistant. That's just your luck Woji

dapper marlin
flat apex
#

it isnt consistent lmao

dapper marlin
#

Sometimes they dont shoot even with line of sight, next time be more careful

flat apex
#

yeah now i know sadge if AI was consistent, they would all act the same, which they dont

acoustic lake
#

shturman can also patrol around sawmill

craggy swan
flat apex
#

gluhkar isnt either, he does thes ame thing, either its a free kill or he insta kills you

dapper marlin
craggy swan
#

I get that other 1% way too often

dapper marlin
flat apex
#

majority of the time i had a free kill on him, just now he was just inconsistent

craggy swan
#

gotta get better at getting good angles and looking more closely at the environment before I can get consistent kills on him

dapper marlin
flat apex
#

well i ran all over the place and he didnt shoot at me, a lot of the times he engaged me from a large distance, so you'd think he'd shoot at me before i even got close 5Head

craggy swan
#

do you know where you were getting shot from?

dapper marlin
placid horizon
#

NO,THAT'S ACTUALLY SOMEONE'S PILGRAM. I YOINKED IT

flat apex
#

i wasnt looking for him because i thought he wasnt there...

#

given i just ran all over the place, idk what ur not understanding

dapper marlin
flat apex
#

if u run all over the place on reserve, dont find gluhkar, then come back to idk pawn buildings and hes there, surely you'd think he wouldve shot u when u were there

#

yes of cousre i didnt know hes there, if i knew i wouldnt have ran in, but i checked sawmill and i didnt see him at all, and i got super close and he only shot me then

#

the point is that every time i fought him, he'd shoot me from distance, whereas now he just didnt bother, hence inconsistent in my experience

proud oracle
#

dont really understand the VAL nerfs that came a while ago. made it unusable imo. high recoil, insane price for mags, just overall scuffed to use now šŸ˜¦ thankfully with the flea changes at least sp5 is enough for most, but i miss the old val

Bro he obviously was there you just missed him lmao

YES OBVIOUSLY 5Head

every time i run into a pmc i die so i dont spend too much on kits

maybe its cause you run shit ammo

@languid rampart best thing you can do is use an sks with ps, its like the ultimate cheap mans gun

safes are your friend reserve customs and shoreline will do the quest in a few raids

customs has the most convenient safes but high pvp potential, while reserve has few safes but depending on spawn you can loot uncontested and leave the map via red rebel or d2

Especially with how much the scavs are real good at 1 tapping face now. Facemask means nothing against a 7.62x54R sniper scav. I've been 1 tapped face before they even give me a chance to shoot 7 times in a row when doing sniper shit this week

It is kinda hard to try and make armor realistic without either making it over or underpowered

I do kinda agree though, the ballistic rework helped a bit but when we get the armor rework eventually it should feel a little more responsive

full night

plate hitbox nikita pls

merry marsh
#

I don't know, it's kinda weird to shoot a geared PMC and have them have no consequences of getting hit. not even slowed down running speed.

pale shuttle
#

Hitting a player does deplete their stamina, but it all depends on the armor and the bullet

merry marsh
#

I guess that's cool

pale shuttle
#

If your firing a light bullet like 5.45 or 5.56 at 200m against level 4+ it's not gonna do much

#

But if you slap sometime with 308, 336, or x54r at range it's gonna slow them down. Same with 9mm, 366., And shotgun rounds at closer ranges

#

So I guess it'd look like:
Bullet weight\velocity - range - armor class = Stam loss

can't buy garbage AP- 6.3 but you can buy .45 AP, FMJ SX, SS190

logic....

pale shuttle

.45 is balanced by the guns it fires generally having a relatively low fire rate

native totem

so balance 9x19..

pale shuttle

They did, by removing it from the flea

#

Just craft some

native totem

thats not balance lol

delicate forge

Yeah the devs didnā€™t really think about 9x19

ancient halo

vector

pale shuttle
#

BSG wants to keep weapon and ammo performance as realistic as possible so limiting availability is the only real way to balance ammo

earnest nest
#

then .45 acp ap is too readily available imo

#

it tends to rule out 9x19mm

ancient halo
#

match is better than Pst, no need to keep .45 AP on trader with match there

I wouldn't mind seeing FMJ gone either and SS SX cut to 150/restock

unless you're suggesting 10 round VSS mags

ashen folio
rocky python
#

majority of players are running in semi-auto for most of the raids anyways. And in the cases you need to be in full auto. The Val/VSS exceeds at that because it's close quarters. A budget VSS has lower recoil than a 7.62 AK and MDR/Scar. But also has higher ergonomics than both platforms

acoustic lake
#

killed a player with TT pistol, he had a face shield. 2 shots got him

thought that was previous wipe, FMJ43 ammo

or 7.62 NATO

rocky python
#

right most people are running 7.62 Nato. But unless it's max traders people don't have the full auto guns yet. And even so, in cqb a VSS/Val will beat 7.62 Nato in an even fight

ancient halo
#

They're fine but they're not particularly cheap, flexible or better performing than other options

rocky python
#

yes exactly, the guns themselves aren't cheap. But you can buy the 20 round mags for Val/VSS at lvl 26 from Prapor lvl 3. And unless you run into a squad, you're fine with 20 round mags

fierce spoke
#

people running budget kits should quit the game

rocky python
#

@fierce spoke Explain. Even the major content creators run budget while they are leveling traders because why would you spend 2x the cost to buy them from flea

pale blade
#

To each his own, I use as val every now and then, usually with 30s and its decent. But I usually run AKM/DMR/45 Vector

fierce spoke
#

You spend money on one kit and make it last. You don't need to die every raid. Budget running guides ruin the game. Gear fear plagues everyone

rocky python
#

I'm not saying if you have max traders, the Val/VSS are meta. But between lvl 3 prapor - getting lvl 4 traders it's a good option.

fierce spoke
#

the fact i run into more level 30 + double barrel runners than anything is sad. I see more lower leveled players running the best gear they have whenever they can

rocky python
#

A lot of people aren't running the double barrel to budget. They're running it because it's fun. Have you seen how many semi auto shotguns are ran now with Flechette?

acoustic lake
#

it's fun to see someone with 300k gear die by 8k boomstik ayyy

rocky python

Don't say people should quit the game for running shotguns, when shotguns are good right now

@ashen folio DB with a Vudu and AP-20s XD

pale blade
#

There was always a hatchet/toz meta for a portion of the playerbase. They just got more popular now that theres a new weapon that can reliably kill things with 12gauge

ancient halo
#

let's say you're running a bone stock VAL, 110k for the gun.
Full auto capability is maybe 20m. Semi auto max for most people is 100m.
110k+4 20rd mags+130x SP-5
172k for the setup.

or I can just get an RFB for 55k with 100rds of M80 for 30k and 3 mags for 10k.

Leaving me with an extra 80k to mod the gun to add a suppressor and optic

rocky python
#

Besides, I don't fault anyone for running budget gear while questing. Especially when one of the most needed parts for hideout upgrades just finally dropped below 700k each

ancient halo
#

You can reach out to 300m with the RFB with a decent optic

#

9x39 is very niche, not very cheap

acoustic lake
#

that air filtering unit be 6.5mil. was 8mil just few days ago

rocky python
#

Yes and I run a RFB a lot. It's probably my most used gun this wipe. The biggest thing about 9x39 for me is that the cheapest round is better than 7.62 PS (I still haven't unlocked BP), and that it doesn't have a global trader limit like a lot of the ammo in-game now.

ancient halo
#

LPS doesn't have a limit and the SVD is even cheaper šŸ˜„

ashen folio
rocky python
#

@ashen folio He's talking about the guns themselves, not the ammo. The guns are expensive and you can't even buy a 100 durability VSS until max trader

ancient halo
#

granted LPS does cost 70 rubles more

rocky python
#

But a stock VSS with an OP-7 reflex has higher ergonomics than a fully modded AKMN and MDR or Scar

#

which is a crucial factor when talking about close quarters engagements

ancient halo
#

stock VSS with OKP - 51
Meta AKM - 52

#

also a weird hairsplitting thing breaking it down to the ergo point

#

VSS actually scores lower if I put the mag in it

warm egret

VSS also has higher ergo than a modded UMP for the UMP meta people

its like saying that a gorno is only 20k leaving you with 80k to put a sight on it, they are completely different guns

ancient halo
#

RFB is significantly more flexible while still being capable at close range

rocky python
#

When I bought Tarkov in 2018 and upgraded to EOD in 2019 my bank flagged it as fraud and locked my card until I called them because Tarkov bills you from Russia.

ashen folio

they are both viable and different šŸ„°

acoustic lake
#

actually u can, efficiency and price

ashen folio
#

wtf does "efficiency" mean

ancient halo
#

my whole vector build is 121k, 5 mags are 23k, and Match FMJ is 20k for 200. It has lower recoil and better ergo than the Val and is cheaper than the Val setup

acoustic lake

basically what u been discussing last 30 min

ashen folio

its apples to oranges

rocky python
#

After first week or 2 of wipe, I don't consider the SKS viable unless you have BP

modern hare
#

does tarkov not take visa gift cards cause thats what im using

rocky python
#

Yes but .45 FMJ has 0% chance to pen Trooper armor, while SP-5 has 65.2% chance

ancient halo
#

but where's the second round going to go?

ashen folio
#

sp5 is a ridiculously good ammo

rocky python
#

depends on how close you are

ashen folio
ancient halo
#

it's a fun gun, it's a cool gun, it has some upsides. Cost isn't one of them

#

it also has a lack of flexibility

ashen folio
#

lmao

ancient halo
#

could have done that with a double barrel

#

double barrel isn't the best gun in the game

ashen folio
#

double barrel is also better than mk47 i agree

rocky python
#

SP-5 is also cheaper than .45 AP with no trader limit

#

for the same pen

I tried sniping with the VSS since I thought it was a DMR but I did so bad lol

pale blade

Yea it has the velocity of 9mm, with the most drastic bullet arc in the game

ashen folio

It wrecked at close range with a laser though

pale blade
#

Yea, its an excellent smg "thing" that can sometimes dink static targets at range. Just pricey.

ashen folio
#

Iā€™m surprised with .45 FMJ though, I canā€™t wait until I can get AP

pale blade
#

Its quite good. The 45 vector with AP has been one of my favorite indoor guns this wipe.

Yeah that thing sounds like a Mg42.. shoots so fast

I mean the entire design of the Val was to be a quiet CQB weapon for Russian Spetsnaz

@arctic kelp huh? I was asking the guy who killed Sanitar with a double barrel

arctic kelp
#

Oh okayā€¦well dying to reloads using VALs on full auto fits the prompt as well soooo

#

props to that guy though. DB goated

rocky python
#

Yeah I know, I used the Val for a long time before ballistics changed

#

Val/VSS platform is one of my favorites because of what it was designed for

arctic kelp
#

I love how the vss is designated as ā€œvintorez special SNIPER rifleā€

#

Like youā€™re gonna hit something with a bullet moving at 300mph

It was, and then Russia made the VSK šŸ™‚

or whatever they use in game i dont remember, fps? kmps? bald eagles per mcdonalds?

rocky python

SP-5 290 m/s

Pab9 highest of the class and itā€™s like 310

Russia still uses the Vintorez for Special Forces, Federal Security Service, and Special Police units within their National Guard

whats a zip code for buying tarkov that wont be $5 tax

rocky python
#

use a vpn

modern hare
#

and go where?

ancient halo

if you're using a credit card that'll get the transaction denied šŸ˜„

#

not using a VPN, changing the zip code

modern hare
#

1017: Sorry, your balance is too low to complete this transaction. Your $55 GameStop card can be traded for $33 worth of credit to use towards a purchase wtf

#

the total is $54.21 and the card has $55

rocky python
#

I honestly don't know what zip code you could use because there is going to be an ~ $5 tax no matter what state you live in. Ever since laws were passed a couple years ago that regulate these things with games

modern hare
#

i got one that has no tax but now that happens

acoustic lake
#

wait you mean you pay extra tax for a game?

#

i always got the tax included into the game price?

rocky python
#

Yeah, but the thing with Tarkov is it bills through Battlestate themselves. So you're buying a product directly from Russia

acoustic lake
#

still only paid the game price lol

pale shuttle
#

Uh

rocky python
#

When I upgraded to EOD in 2019, I didn't have to pay a tax. It's a more recent thing

pale shuttle
#

No? You're billing through a intermediary service called Xsolla

pale shuttle
rocky python
#

That's what I'm talking about. Take Star Citizen for example. Go back to 2019 and you didn't have to pay a sales tax to buy ships in a lot of states. Now it's federal

pale shuttle
#

I could've sworn most states got digital goods taxes starting in like 2015+

cinder willow
#

red card for sale 40m

rocky python
#

And when I upgraded to EOD in 2019, I didn't have to pay a tax. But if I upgraded my best friend's account to EOD now I would

#

"Before October 1, 2019, the majority of digital goods, including streaming video and video games, were subject to the reduced sales tax rate of 1%. Effective October 1, 2019, online streaming services are now taxable at the full state rate of 6.35% and defined as tangible personal property."

acoustic lake
#

i mean idk bout you guys
But let's say the game was 40euros when i was buying it.
I sitll only paid 40euros for it tax included

rocky python
#

It started with California, Florida, New York, Texas, and Connecticut

pale shuttle
#

Yea, and i'm in NY

rocky python
#

ah okay

pale shuttle
#

ok so that's why the timing felt weird to me, could have sworn I heard it was a country wide change

rocky python
#

And this came from CIG in response to questions about the sales tax on ships in Star Citizen last year. "As of May 1, 2021, tax rates have been updated per local government requirements for a variety of states within the United States."

#

"As of the end of 2018, 34 states adopted laws or regulations requiring online merchants to collect state sales tax on remote sales made to state residents, and several others are in the process of following suit.

Five states do not collect any state sales tax: New Hampshire, Delaware, Montana, Oregon, and Alaska. Check with your local state government for additional questions. "

pale shuttle
#

Ah, ok it was a roll out

rocky python
#

Normally I don't quote Star Citizen devs for non - Star Citizen things. But it was easy for me to find and it affected everything

#

Like I live in Missouri and the sales tax for digital goods for video games wasn't enacted until last year

#

At least it's just the state sales tax. Australia was a 10% tax when they added it in 2017, and the Value-Added Tax for other countries including EU, UK, Norway, South Africa, Russia, New Zealand, Switzerland, South Korea and Japan as of May last year.

acoustic lake
#

how much is the game for ya in US rn?

rocky python
#

$40.69 with Paypal, for Standard Edition

acoustic lake

so you pay additional Tax on top of that 40.69?

rocky python
#

no that was added, they've updated the website to show the final price

#

but it doesn't show until check out prompt

acoustic lake
#

i got it set for 34.99eur

rocky python
#

that's what mine showed as until I went to the payment screen and clicked Paypal

acoustic lake

ah paypal steals money for transactions

rocky python

and rn 34.99 euros is 38.99 USD

acoustic lake

ye

rocky python

honestly USD is becoming worthless

acoustic lake

with credit card thats just it for me. 35euros, though my bank will charge me 17c for transaction

#

not really, dollar to eur doesn't move that much

I'm speaking in general. The value of the US Dollar has been dropping consistently over the years

Should the water collector's efficiency be tied to the weather in Tarkov? IE: rain makes it go faster

but in terms of value of the USD. . . if I were to go to McDonald's for a Big Mac (which I won't), it would cost me $6.99. 5 years ago it was $3.99

all of currency is suxing, inflation be eating everything.

Well minimum wage was never supposed to be a thing. Living wage was what FDR fought over a year to convince congress to do. But that changed as corporates and the government got greedy

pale shuttle
#

Yea because it originally meant to be the living wage, he pulled back to minimum wage to get it passed then tried to push it back up to the original idea?

#

Ok, yeah. That was it.

rocky python
#

"Among his other ambitious New Deal initiatives, government programs that sought to help the United States recover from the economic disaster of the Great Depression, FDR fervently pushed for the establishment of a national minimum wage. After congressional legislation that would allow the President to establish a national minimum wage was blocked by the Supreme Court in 1935, President Roosevelt sought to increase the wages of federal contract workers as the first step towards a national minimum wage. The 1936 Public Contracts Act allowed Roosevelt's administration to establish a "prevailing minimum wage" that all federal contractors had to abide by. He hoped that increasing the wages of federal contract workers would put pressure on private-sector competitors to match these wages for their employees. Then, a narrow, surprise decision by the Supreme Court in 1937 that upheld a state minimum wage law provided FDR the opportunity to renew the fight for a nationwide federal minimum wage, which was ultimately implemented in the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act."

#

it's even sad that anyone can abuse minimum wage

rocky python
#

In all honesty. The biggest contributing factor to the millions of Americans pleading for a $15 federal minimum wage is the massive inflation of rent from landlords

pale shuttle

most of EU got same rent price ratio

I was just about to say that, I'm at 15$ right now because of how long I've been at my current job and It's impossible to find a place to stay in central NY for less than 1300 a month, without included utilites.
