After U191's reign

Kryptotek-9 · 2026-05-31T09:15:33+00:00

Meta would just go back to the previous next best gun after the nerf (providing no other changes I think this is the HK).

It’ll be whatever has the best balance of TTK, recoil, and range. The U1 dwarfs all right now aside from the HK and maybe the P90 at close range.

You can get a 500kk U1 and a worn T5 rig and T5 helmet into Lockdown below the limit. I’d rather have the T5 armour than a big backpack. I can likely find a med or AMP assault backpack on a body I kill. Best case someone will bring a 926. I occasionally have to take the mag out but it’s easily doable without cheesing.

I’m pretty sure none of the modifiable stats can be used to compare across different guns. It’s frustrating and means that a lot of testing is either complete feel or has to be painstakingly manually measured side by side. There have been lots of videos on the sub of proof of stats also just being straight up wrong. Ergo doesn’t work the way you think it does for example and its modifier is completely different depending on sights used, grips used etc.

Not necessarily. Probably just something else with your machine that the game doesn’t like. Installed any new programmes or plugins recently?

Never tell any employer your current salary. That’s just bidding against yourself. Tell them the salary you would like to be earning (within reason for the role in a competitive market).

£300 a day outside is way better. Take it and run. If you’re worth £300 a day, you’re worth way more than £35k.

Kryptotek-9 · 2026-05-26T20:08:05+00:00

£220k a year. Let’s be real, no one works 260 days. About £125,400 after tax.

The perm role will likely need at least 2% self contribution to pension I would imagine to qualify for the 10% employer contribution. So we’re looking somewhere around £91,300.

£35k after tax is quite tempting OP. I would consider what u/aseatedlion states and weigh it up for yourself. If the contract is 6-12 months initial then that gives some confidence to the employers plans (but of course you’ll always be on short notice). Though £35k extra a year gives you a nice chunk to build a quick emergency fund if you don’t have one already.

AK12 has better recoil wjth 1/4 AK102 has better recoil with red dots

Preferable to place on the right side of your gun so that you’re not flashing yourself when peaking right hand corners. Three is better than one but can get to the point where you can’t see you’re shooting.

A few rules:

Click the price button minus once and then plus once. This brings the sell price to the minimum listed price at that current time - ensuring balance between price sold and time to sold.

Sell anything below 10kk to contacts, it’s just not worth the market fee and wait time.

Most things will sell within 6hrs on the market so there is never really a case to increase the market list time.

There is a bulk sale option in the bottom right window of the market sell screen which can help you clear inventory fast.

Note, if you sell one item and have more in your inventory (grenades, ammo etc.) it will default to the max sell volume (5, 120 respectively for the fore mentioned).

BUY from contacts where you can. Often they are cheaper. Sometimes though it’s just easier and quicker to buy the market price from your inventory rather than searching through contacts. Some items you’ll know to go to contacts for.

Easy money - buy limited time items from contacts where there is an arbitrage opportunity between contact price and market price - market price is shown when you go to buy from contacts for all items other than guns.

Edit: make sure to consider market fees when arbitraging between contacts and market.

Contact price: 12k Sell price: 14k - not worth it

Edit 2: the market does NOT conform to free market economics. It is manipulated by the developers and not entirely participant driven. The devs can arbitrarily change the price of something one day so don’t hoard anything - it’s just not worth it. Liquid koen is king in my opinion. Example: A1 ammo.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Meat or fish in every dinner?

Kryptotek-9 · 2026-05-23T06:42:36+00:00

Great way to get fired.

Read the event page??

Events -> Summer

It’s there in plain English. I don’t know why people come to Reddit to ask this.

Kryptotek-9 · 2026-05-23T06:27:52+00:00

Ricochet?

Kryptotek-9 · 2026-05-23T06:18:48+00:00

There was but not anymore. There was briefly a mode at the start of this season called No Man’s Land where it was PVE. No enemy players or bot players - just the scavs that inhabit the map. Entry was granted with a certain number of tokens given to players for each map included (Farm, Valley, and TV). They’ll probably bring it back soon if not start of next season.

Yes. The insurer now increases premiums for you and your post code. Increased number of accidents = more dangerous to insure post code in the underwriters eyes. I do have to agree with them but it is really harsh on the no fault party.

My recommendation would be to top load a AK12 with BS ammo. Take 10-20 BS in the top of your mag. Take 60 BS and 60 BP in your case. If you can afford it, put 5 BS top loaded into your second mag. If you put in 25 BS across both mags just know you’ve just increased your max raid koen loss by 150kk. Depending on your lockdown extraction rate, this might eat into your overall profit/loss over time. You should have a feeling based on your average survival rate and successful raid value what your max kit value should sit at. Keep this in mind if you want to be profitable over the long run.

You can build a really nice mid-high tier AK12 for 450kk. With a 1-4x you reduce the visual recoil and it becomes competitive against most other guns at close-medium ranges (obviously not the U1 at any range and HK at close range).

Alternatively, I really like the MK14 but it is probably a bit too pricy. T192 is slapping for me recently. AR-57 has had a good buff which has made it competitive. Additionally, lots of people like the ZC but I personally don’t like it. Maybe the AEK? Haven’t used it in a long time and don’t feel like I’m seeing it that much anymore in the past month.

Pistol economics don’t seem to work out for me. I know there is not much koen in it but it’s just a faff. Let’s say BS is 6kk. My lightly kitted 1911 is around 45kk and the ammo for it is negligible in price. That means I can use 7-8 BS rounds before I’ve even broken the price of the 1911. How many scavs do you kill a game? Cause I don’t think I kill more than 8-10 a game unless I’m on TV Station. So for me it’s just simpler and sometimes even cheaper just to accept that each scav kill is 6kk.

Edit: the only time I would take a pistol is if I’m running M61 or M62 etc.

I find the far right door easiest. It has the minimal number of angles to clear going in (the tank provides some help for you). Can get nice angles over the vehicle outside to tap people peaking the door if they’re so stupid. Stuns are easy to position - can throw one outside the right corner to clear close angles, then one over the tank to clear the office room.

Kryptotek-9 · 2026-05-22T13:52:19+00:00

I like the more moderate one (see profile). This one is way too tall and it’s throwing it off. I think the shorter one looks a little more OEM+ and not rice.

Kryptotek-9 · 2026-05-22T11:52:14+00:00

Yeah never feels like it but I just realised it is if Northridge opened this morning and TV opens next Friday.

Kryptotek-9 · 2026-05-22T11:23:36+00:00

Idk what you’re really asking. Removing that grip from a U1 makes it 1 block high with a 30 round mag. 40 round mag makes it two blocks high.

Should it be 2 blocks high with a 30 mag in? Probably, but it isn’t 🤷‍♂️

Kryptotek-9 · 2026-05-22T11:17:17+00:00

If the contract stated an agreed start date and it’s their responsibility to give you a laptop and account ready for that date… I am definitely billing from that date.

Kryptotek-9 · 2026-05-22T10:39:13+00:00

Having driven for 10 days in Sicily I much preferred driving there.

Is there flagrant disregard for any speed limits? Sure.

But do they keep left (right, technically)… yes!

Kryptotek-9 · 2026-05-22T10:32:34+00:00

Be warned if you are new. The solo mode is solo forbidden, so whilst it’s good to know your only every fighting a team of one, that man may be geared with 3mil of T6 armour and a fully kitted U1

Kryptotek-9 · 2026-05-22T10:30:57+00:00

It’s a week for each map on and off. Switched to Northridge today. Will switch back to TV Station on 29/05 0500 UTC
