Zipperelli. posted:Ew. gently caress that quest. I mean its kind of an obnoxious quest, but it's basically just a "get PMC kills while not wearing [real] armor + carrying an extra 20-25k of insurable gear no one is likely to bother picking up" challenge, which is really not too bad (especially when compared to, say, Jaeger's bullshit)

I mean yeah, you need to be aware of 9x39's drop (and travel time) if you're trying to take someone down at very long ranges but imo the best approach is simply trying not to do that if you can possibly avoid it, which generally isn't *too* hard if you think shooting at someone at meaningful range is a real possibility I'd just go with one of the budget 7.62x51 options rather than, say, trying to run a VSS on Woods (a cheapo M1A with M80 isn't going to run you much more than a VSS)

HORSEPORN posted:Not him but I can answer. It’s a bit of both. Stocking up on smoke grenades is decent for example because they will go up 4-5k a piece whenever prapor’s stock gets bought out. This happens pretty much every prime time because people are smacking the smoke grenade together with m67’s to make green powder to craft m955. Likewise, dfuel can drop down to as low as 100k but spike to 130/140. Propane is also especially volatile and will drop to 45/50k but spike back up to 70/80 as the red rebel barter comes off cooldown. also I really can't say it enough - if you actually play the game beyond level 4 and have gotten your traders to a high level and done relevant quests to unlock ammo types and the like you can easily clear over a million roubles per trader reset cycle in a lazy, idiot-proof manner by just buying out and relisting a bunch of limited personal supply vendor poo poo (especially Peacekeeper dollar-denominated items) at a price that will clear late in the trader reset timer taking advantage of favorable trades, barter scams, spotting bargains/mispriced items/things that vendor for more than asking, and buying low/selling high are all great ways to make money, but you can earn huge % gains by just doing things like brainlessly buying 100 rounds of M62 every time it's available and relisting for twice the price LGD fucked around with this message at 00:09 on Mar 5, 2020 |

MP153 8 round tube adapter to let you mount muzzle devices muzzle device (monster claw is best for recoil but decide based on budget/etc.) or silencer (more likely to get taken if they have a moment but makes the whole thing even longer and still isn't worth that much so decent odds of getting it back, esp. on non-factory maps) is the base build and all you need for extract camping with buckshot like he was a lot of the shotgun quests are like on woods or require headshots, for those you'll definitely want to also add a mount so you can get a red dot and just use AP-20 slugs use a strut if you want a laser you can also mess around with the stock to further minimize recoil/get some ergo but imo it's extremely not necessary

Inspector_666 posted:The game is difficult enough at the core that these kind of arbitrary gates seem like a bad idea in the long run. yeah its an extremely bad idea flea market access changes the entire way the game economy works because it essentially gives you access to everything every trader has to offer and more (even if at extremely steep premiums and I'd assume there is a several day period at the start of a wipe where stuff is mega-spotty), and also lets you get actual market value for your loot someone cracking out and rushing traders gives them a big individual advantage, but so does someone getting extremely lucky with cache loot in the same raid - this stuff doesn't really matter, what matters is how players relate to what the playerbase in aggregate is doing on average the flea market creates a two-tiered system where anyone with access is at an enormous advantage vs. those who don't have access in nearly every facet of the game - that exists now but doesn't really matter because while new players will take far longer than more experienced players the time it takes is still reasonable, they'd be getting dunked on regardless of equipment, and they don't really face any constraints due to stash size/inability to participate fully in the economy that calculus changes dramatically when that period is extended out to level 15 e: tbh this is one of my concerns for the game - they often seem to assume the average player is experienced/owns eod/knows a lot of the crazy stuff specific to the game, so don't account for disproportionate impact on different types of players this isn't an argument for dumbing the game down or making it less immersive because that would ruin the game's appeal, but I do worry about the compounding effect of barriers to entry and mechanics that are disproportionately punitive to people without a wealth of Tarkov-specific game-knowledge LGD fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Mar 7, 2020 |

aniviron posted:Customs is also a pretty brutal map if you're new. Some of the others are a bit easier, I think Interchange and Shoreline are both reasonably friendly outside of a few hot spots on each; though I know Customs is where most starting quests occur. and I should point out that as a new player your survivability will often be higher on your scav than on your PMC simply because you appear on the map at an unpredictable place/time, which eliminates a lot of the advantage experienced players have re: knowledge of spawns and common routes, which both reduces the likelihood you'll get deliberately taken out and increases the likelihood you'll be able to get the drop on another player (I'll also note that this means that while scavs are a great way to learn maps you'll also need to anticipate making some adjustments when you do start running them on your PMC - but its also obviously a lot easier to learn spawns/timing if you've got a general sense of how everything fits together) e: SquirrelGrip posted:Don’t worry, I have watched 6 man syncs on factory lose people camping the bathroom on factory to scavs, caught random single shot rounds to the eyes multiple times, and had my legs shredded by shotgun scavs yep this is also one of the reasons you always want to ensure your poo poo LGD fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Mar 27, 2020 |

causticBeet posted:Don’t undersell the fact that the Mosin encourages a patient aiming/positioning play style, which is important for new players to learn as much as it is for them to learn when you should be hip firing and mag dumping. Sure you can pop off 30 rounds of PS out of an AK, but opening up and dropping suppressing fire isn’t always constructive. yeah, actual 7.62 AKs have enough recoil that full auto rarely comes into play - to the point that I'd almost recommend a VPO-136 (or SKS) over them, except the folding stock AKs cost about the same on the flea market and being restricted to the GP-25 recoil pad for stock upgrades really only becomes a disadvantage at a point where you should be moving on to better guns/calibers this is also why I stick up for 856A1 - it's still generally affordable enough on a per-round basis that using a rec battery trade-in ADAR (with or without upgrades beyond a sight) makes sense for a new player once you get into "real" guns at the moment imo it's really hard to beat the VSS and M1A for cost effectiveness - a base VSS offers the performance of a tricked out gun costing several times its price (and 20 round mags full of SP-5 are very affordable), and I think you're somewhat underselling how much of an upgrade to the Hunter that base M1A + muzzle attachment build is, since it basically laser-targets the Hunter's weak points by halving the recoil and multiplying the magazine size by 2-3x

RattiRatto posted:what's the point of stationary weapons? Is that like the easiest way to die? pretty much yes but a) they're fun b) they're a potential source of firepower for rats/scavs and while the machine guns are kind of underwhelming given the downsides, the AGS is absolutely potent enough to be worth using under certain circumstances despite the associated risks

good ammo is significantly more pricey at the moment though, by the time you're not paying through the nose for 7.62 BP/5.45 BT you're going to be less worried about cheap gun setups otoh I do agree having reasonable ammo is the best thing you can do and stock guns are often quite reasonable at low levels (haven't been able to play much) I've been finding myself favoring 7.62 guns just because PS is so inexpensive and workable, and once you have flea market access you can grab a 7.62 VPO for less than a vendor SKS, or an AKMS/AKMSN for ~30k

Zigmidge posted:Is any of this advice useful for sub 10? What are you supposed to compete with on vendors alone? "get hosed" mostly the good news is that pretty much everything works for scavs, and you DO start off with access to the mosin/SKS (+ have pistol/mp5k/rec-battery-ADAR face-shooting options) and the advice remains generally applicable, insofar as you should be prioritizing acquisition of magazine-fed 7.62 weapons (and 30 round magazines) wherever possible
