On the topic of gunchat, what do people like in the lovely lower tiers before you unlock the flea market and stuff? I've mostly been sticking with one of the seven billion AK variants, but those feel kind of bleh. Generally serviceable, but they have a surprisingly snappy recoil considering they don't seem to hit all that hard. Should I just stick with the chunkier semi-autos instead, or are the cheapo SMGs worth anything?

The mp5 and kedr are okay for leveling recoil control and murdering scavs. Use them to collect mp153s and then use those with buckshot.

Should I just stick with the chunkier semi-autos instead, or are the cheapo SMGs worth anything? prior to flea market you don’t have great options, it’s pretty much the best of whatever you have to hand, and frequently that means whatever shoots 7.62 PS, even if it’s an SKS even once you get to flea you’re probably using various mediocre AKs because 5.45 BT is “good enough” and incredibly cheap on flea, while 7.62 BP is actually good and also not $Texas to run cheap SMGs are indeed viable, but better at the start of wipe than now, and *much better* if you can spray heads with Pst Gzh (though if you like leg meta time of wipe doesn’t matter much and Quakemaker is PK 2, potentially meaning level 10), but they’re *very reasonable* to run pre-10 (and post-10!) if you keep their limitations in mind also note that 9x19 AP 6.3 and .45 AP are both PK level 3, which only requires *level 18*, so you can get good ammo to use with the associated SMGs quite quickly in the leveling process overall (and I’ll say that the UMP, while very much not a good gun, is actually a cheap automatic worthy of consideration vs. 5.45 AKs running BT - I’ve been using them as a backup gun when doing Tarkov Shooter/SBIH quests with good success) LGD fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Feb 21, 2021 |

Played my first raid in awhile and died to a Shturman minion sprinting around the silver shed, spotting me with his peripheral vision 50 meters through a bush at night, and shooting me 3 times in the torso with 7.62x51 before I could even scope in. It's like Nikita wants me to uninstall.

Scav AI is so unpredictable at night. Sometimes it feels like you can run right up to them without a reaction, other times they start firing at you from miles away, through the soupiest of mists

Speaking of flea market. I hit 10 this weekend and finally feel like the game is opening up a bit for me. Access to better ammo and the ability to tune the weapons (i still mostly use found AKs) a bit is great. But what helmets would you guy recommend for in the cheap to mid-budget range?

It's only class 3 but it it has a high ricochet chance, which has saved me many many times. I use it unless I need a helmet with optics mounts until I can afford the expensive T4+ helmets.

Trump posted:But what helmets would you guy recommend for in the cheap to mid-budget range? Option 1 - None. Most the time you take a headshot, it won't matter anyway. Option 2 - SSh-68 penis helm. It's cheap, rarely stolen, repairs well, high ricochet chance Option 3 - 6B47 Ratnik. Doing the bleach barter trade, it's also very cheap, can mount your NVG stuff if you go that route, high ricochet chance. It's pretty rare the armor class on the helm saves you from more than scav rounds unless the ricochet happens, so until I'm money flush that's pretty much all I buy. Once I get the cash, I move onto the options with facesheilds, although only about 50% to stop the bullshit buckshot to the face from 100m scavs

Whats the wisdom on helmets with visor then? I'm not a place where i can run it constantly, but I've scrapped up enough that i can do a semi-tryhard run once in a while.

The lower end is there to prevent random bullshit deaths from some scav with buckshot or handgun rolling a natural 20 and hitting you right in the eyes/jaw. Anything better than a Kolpak-1S is usable if you are doing budget runs in factory. Just remember that they tend to not be compatible with a headset so people will hear you before you hear them.

I've stopped wearing helmets unless I'm bringing in NVGs or I want to wear my full Mando mask on Factory stacks. It's kind of freeing, really.

I usually rock a ULACH because it's stopped a fair number of headshots for me in the past but that's the only helmet I'll buy. Otherwise I just wear what I find.

Probably a minority opinion but I think if it won't drive you broke the Altyn w/ mask is 100% worth it. It'll set you back a few hundred K but it's much more likely to save your life than most other helmets and if it gives you even one extra extract it'll have paid for itself.

I like the 6B47 helmet simply because it's very cheap as a barter and cheap on the flea. It doesn't weigh much, it works with headsets and you can put some NVGs on it. Otherwise, it's on par with any other hat when it comes to people who actually use real ammo.

"The wisdom" seems to be always bring hearing, which excludes most good visors. I've survived firefights a couple of times because my visor ate a shot or two, most noticeable a Kiver visor (class 3) bouncing an Igolnik round, but on the other hand it's impossible to say how many times I survived a firefight because I heard the other guy earlier than I would have without hearing.

You are better off tossing a Kolpak or Djeta instead of wearing them. They will not stop pretty much any round and they seriously impede your hearing ability. I'll wear whatever 3+ helmet I have in my inventory. I like the 4+ ones that cover your hears but don't prevent you from wearing headsets. I'll wear a 3+ visor if I'm going to Resort or Factory. If I have an Altyn or Killa helmet/Maska I'll take it into Factory, too.

Lots of high end loot and all the scavs in there are raiders who tend to be much better equipped. The map itself is pretty cool but it's a frustrating place to go. You'll always make it out stuffed with loot if you survive though.

Soothing Vapors posted:As someone who can barely get through Woods: What is even in labs that justifies the price of the keys? The price of the key isn't really even a factor unless you're hatchet running labs. Loot of a single raider can cover the entire cost of the keycard - if you can get it out. The bigger issue than the key card is that insurance does not work on labs. So you are consigning your entire kit to the void if you die to raiders or players alike. Back when I used to give a poo poo about labs, we'd go in with 4 and of those 4 one dude basically with absolute trash gear with the expectation that they would gear up from the first raiders or PMCs we killed...or much more likely - from a dead squad mate - it isn't coming back so they may as well wear it.

FileNotFound posted:The price of the key isn't really even a factor unless you're hatchet running labs. Loot of a single raider can cover the entire cost of the keycard - if you can get it out. is is totally untrue, most raiders don't drop enough loot to cover the cost of a keycard, the vast majority don't actually. some do, that's for sure, but 70%+ don't. FileNotFound posted:The bigger issue than the key card is that insurance does not work on labs. this only matters if your gear is inordinately expensive, which it shouldn't be. high end armor is highly overrated when a rat laying down with flechette can kill you in 3 shots no matter your armor.
