Are there any useful quest guides for stacking quests, hopefully along with the whys/hows? Pestily’s new raid YouTube series is great, but having to watch through 30-45 minutes for specifics is a little inefficient. Also best place to find the gas analyzer for starting Therapist quest? I almost had one on with a lucky scav run and got zapped right at the end because I can’t ADS for poo poo with a VSS scope. Guy got a labs card from me, too; he had a lucky day.

Edit: also any useful metrics or things I should be looking at to get a grip on the AK family? It’s confusing as gently caress and I’ve definitely made the newbie mistake of bringing the wrong mags, or right mags but wrong ammo, trying to top-load an sks with ammo from my alpha, etc.

Oli on interchange is the go to, the shelves at the front of the store. Also electronic stores spawn them too on interchange

Be sure to check the top of the shelves. They can spawn up there and are easy to miss.

Check out the visual chart on the wiki. There isn't a good quick level guide out there so just talk to goons in the discord.

I have done three runs now and looked on all the shelves in ONI and have had no luck. I have watched youtube Vids on where they spawn and my brother even got his there but I have had no luck either.

The real ouch is getting an MBSS and AVS in raid off of scav boss guards, stacking the AVS inside the MBSS while dealing with loot, pulling it out of the character as a stack, and then turning in the MBSS for the quest.

fun fact, that doesn't count as turning in the AVS, and the AVS is just lost.

Also I’ve found a lot of gas analyzers in hidden caches outside of the mall in interchange.

Either the wiki is really out of date or that's not how that loot table works. I have searched at least a hundred cabinets and don't remember a lab's keycard showing up once.

There's a skill that affects the quality of loot you find so there's almost certainly other factors beyond a straight dice roll.

Are my friends and I the only ones or are the gluhar spawn rates on reserve almost at 100% around the chopper/pawn buildings? myself and a few others are seeing him there in almost every raid now and while it's great for exp and money it's getting a bit ridiculous.

I broke both my legs almost right off the bat on a scav run on interchange yesterday. I decided to just head towards and exit with my possibly free mosin. I get close to emercom and some nerd runs up and lays down to extract so I popped him in the head. He probably got real mad about an exit camper. I couldn't even get anything more than his bag because I couldn't get in/out of the extract zone fast enough with the whole broken legs thing haha.

Searching a full filing cabinet is noisy and takes forever but it really pays off.
