You probably want to go for recoil reduction with the FAL. 7.62x51 kicks a loving lot; if you end up in CQC and need to full auto you want to be able to stay on target.

Game is patching right now so I can't check the actual prices.
I think the FAL is quite costly to make nice and doesn't do half-measure that well. You might as well go all out and put the best poo poo on it or just use a cheaper .308.
Like you pay what 22k? to even have a railed dust cover.

As for grips I just use the Fortis or RK-2 for performance, Hera or Cobra Tactical for looks, RK-0 if I'm smashing a cheap grip on some trash gun.

The fal was 45K from fence with railed dust cover, railed forebarrel grip and some nicer pistol grip. So I thought to just sweeten it up a bit with a burris fastfire, austrian muzzlebrake and a grip.

If that is still bad I guess I should just disassemble the gun and sell it in Flea.

That new after-round heal thing is interesting. Might have been the single round I played but if you don't do the heal option (about 7k) you go back to the hideout much weaker than before. After a single gunfight death I'd have about 20-30 hp on each limb once I got back to the hideout, now it was all 2s.

That audio video was pretty cool. It always seems like people can get right up on me and I don't hear a thing but I step on two pebbles and it's CRUNCH CRUNCH but from what I've read sometimes you hear things way louder than other players do which isn't great. Maybe they'll work on all that at once.

^^ Please send feedback to beefstache911@hotmail.com, this is not a joke that 'stache is the real deal. Serious assessments only. ^^

You can get the FAL down to a ridiculous 70 recoil or something in that neighborhood. Which for sure isn't "light" by any means, but is ridiculous for a gun that can fire M80 rounds on fully automatic.

The current audio has tons of dead spots. If someone is roughly 35-55 degree away from your face the sound can be up to half as loud or disappear. If you get a friend to run at a wall you can spin around and notice that at some angles/ distance it goes from audible to completely silent.

Essentially you need to always keep yourself 90 degrees facing away from whatever you want to hear.

You also hear significantly farther when facing forward than you do backward for some reason.

I love that THICC cases are down to 14mil already and dropping. Everyone just offloading all their stuff to afford the best tier loadouts. Next month should be fun, but I feel a little bad for any new players. M995 is up to like 2400 a round, which sucks because I sold 8,000 rounds a few days ago for not that much. It will probably keep getting higher, just like everything else. Just kind of curious to see where it stops.

New stuff I haven't seen mentioned here is:

.366 ammo buff, 9x39mm nerf, and a buff to pistol calibers (I don't know which one specifically or if its all the pistol calibers)
2-3 more rows going to be added to the stash for all account types
more recipes for crafting in the hideout

and most importantly, the wipe should be in less than a month

Excited to get a bit of the fresh wipe experience.

See you all on Discord for team runs.

Just a tip but if you hold alt and click on items in their inventory, it will automatically equip them for you. It has probably saved my rear end more than I know not spending that extra few seconds while looting.

I encountered a great bug last night where I was invisible to players and could not take damage from them but could damage them and take their poo poo.

I got killed by a scav while I was being super sloppy and careless trying to do the decontamination quest but, holy poo poo man this game has some ridiculous bugs.

I had this once. Was on voice comms with my team and we ended up doing some kind of ouija board poo poo with one of them turning his flashlight on and off and asking me how many times he did it. They didn't believe I was in the room with them. I was totally invisible to AI too. Walked up to a Raider, shot him in the face, he didn't die. Then he could see me and immediately murdered me.

people are selling off their graphics cards farms and going as sweaty as possible in the last couple of weeks till the wipe. Gotta burn through all those rubles you're not going to be keeping, after all.

Using the 9x19 SMGs is really just fishing for headshots, right? I was doing factory runs with the MPX and MP9 and was consistently dying having put 12 shots into the torso. :smith: Was using the blue tipped semi-expensive rounds? Luger-something? Around 350 rubles per.

A Kedr loaded with SP6 or SP7 will kill even the sweatiest of gearlords hilariously fast if you are shooting them in the legs. And those guns you mentioned would probably do even better.

Just go for the legs. You’re hosed in anything but close range encounters though.

AP rounds are pricier but more consistent...its end of wipe so might as well go hog wild

I’m just saying high damage low pen bullets in an SMG (any smg) can shred legs really good.

Unless you mean me specifically calling for SP6/7?

I'm pretty excited for the audio changes in the next patch. So many times I've been sat in a bush listening to somebody get closer to me with no effing idea which direction they are coming from.

Could be a real game changer.

After the weight changes last month and the skill wipe going with them, I've heard a lot of complaints on how long it takes for players to get their strength & endurance back and I had a thought: Has anyone proposed adding an exercise/weight training area to the Hideout, which would give bonus XP to those two things once built? Seems like it would be reasonably straightforward to implement.
