It makes sense having the rear sight being removed a penalty. Shooting a real gun with any accuracy without a rear sight or some sort of optics that are parallax-free is near impossible. I never even considered taking off the rear sight because to me that makes no sense.

I'm only level 4 and have almost no idea what is safe to sell but my inventory is absolutely full of all kinds of crap and I know that some of it is valuable or necessary for trades/hideout but I really don't want to accidentally sell something I'll need/could sell for a lot. Is there a way to safely determine what is worth hoarding and selling to a trader?

Take a picture of your inventory and post it here or in the discord and there are enterprising goons who will tell you what's what.

Hideout:  Quest Items:  Keep all hideout items as long as space permits. Keep all FIR quest items. Edit: Also worth mentioning is that depending on how much behind the curve you are, it may make sense to sell hideout items for upgrades that are far away for you on the flea market as you maybe able to buy them for less later when you actually need them. Lightbulbs are a perfect example of an item that has been rapidly dropping in price. Edit2: Lol Generator 1 now requires a sparkplug rather than car battery. Good news. I loving hate car batteries.

This graphic from the wiki shows all the found-in-raid stuff you need for quests (I think it's up to date as of this wipe from a quick scan.) This one shows all of the hideout stuff you need, although none of that has to be FIR. Aside from that, you'd have to ask somebody with flea access to check prices but also you will need to hit specific money spent points with every vendor to level them anyway, so you don't have to worry too much about selling random crap to them at this point unless it's a LEDX or something (which you should be keeping anyway for the hideout/quest stuff.)

There is a discord bot that can be used to do price checks. Frankly I wouldn't focus too much on vendor money pits till you hit 10, there is plenty of cheese that can be done using the flea to pump vendor sales. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWoHjjX8iZA

Thanks for the help everyone, I've been slowly sinking under what seems like random stuff for awhile and its nice to know which items I absolutely need. One last question, which traders should I focus on selling to first, if it matters?

Honestly I would basically sell to whoever pays most for the most part - and then use the fleamarket cheese to max the rest. The video I posted explains which items can be bought at flea and sold for same or even more to vendors.

The reason why "the price you see them being listed for is close to or above what a vendor will pay" is because people buy out anything less than that and vendor for a quick profit. If you keep refreshing those listings, you should see ones go up for less and then almost immediately being bought out.

Also if you got peacekeeper by buying a ton of dollars and are now sitting on a giant pile of $ and want to spend it - keep in mind that you need 6k for a quest. The rest...it depends how you want to squander it, but I've been loving the RFB as an alternative to SKS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJCQibfH65g Edit: Worth mentioning that the downside of the RFB is that everyone thinks it's super expensive and always takes it off my corpse. Meanwhile I've gotten tricked out SKS that costs twice as much back... Nobody seems to loot shotguns either. MP-153 and Saigas are outstanding for killing scavs and if lucky players, and seem to consistently come back via insurance. FileNotFound fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Jan 13, 2021 |

I have 3 MP-153s sitting in insurance pickup - all 3 soo drat big that I don't have room for them in my stash. Build them for low recoil, spam click in the general direction with 8.5 buckshot. It 1 shots scavs consistently and will ruin a PMC's day as well. I know lots of people run slugs in shotguns. My personal experience with slugs has been miserable. I can't think of a case where I'd rather use a slug shotgun vs an SKS or RFB or frankly any rifle.

check jaeger first cos he has the best prices for what he does buy and it helps hit his targets, ragman and mechanic get armor and guns/attachments until youve spent/sold enough with them for their next level, then it goes to skier and prapor. pk i feed non-fir intelligence items.

Ambaire posted:Sorry if I'm missing something, but I think that's confirmation bias. yes, obviously - maybe I phrased that unclearly, but the point is that you want to identify a reasonably expensive item that the trader you want to level will buy and where supply/demand has pushed the flea market price down to the floor created by that trader then you repeatedly buy out items near, at, or below that floor to quickly level the trader at essentially no cost to yourself (and potentially profit if you're the guy immediately buying the ones listed for below vendor price) the wartech was just an example of an item that met those conditions when I wanted to level Jaeger, there's nothing particularly special about it William Henry Hairytaint posted:You can also level Skier by buying euros, which you will need many thousands of later on. important to note that he doesn't sell them until level 2 (though it is a good way to level him otherwise) e: FileNotFound posted:I know lots of people run slugs in shotguns.

RobotsLoveSpectres posted:Yeah it takes a minute to extract but we were sitting side by side and he got left behind. We tried it twice with the same outcome. Are you positive he paid? Did he see the extract timer counting down? The money can't be in your secure container to pay. On some of them you have to have 3001 roubles in your inventory, not exactly 3000. I learned this the hard way on Woods.

According to him he paid but I'll get him to try it again next time we play and make sure he brings more than 7000. Also one time I was solo and the car just drove away while I sat against the bumper so I believe the extract is at least a little buggy.
