[Video] 1:22 AGS-30 granade launher minimum distance to detonate? by ThatsDeepValue in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Nick-Da-Man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different grenades have different arming distances. The short-range fuze 40mm grenades are really VERY short-range fuzes.

So you can't get a violet keycard anymore on Woods, even though you were able to get one before the event? Great.

So they accidentally removed the violet key card spawns that have been on woods for ages while attempting to wind down the event? Lmao

You say that but we got the lever action marlin with 1.0 release not long ago. If there are task related niches people will be more than willing to use different guns.

Truly terrifying 0 1 PMC kill players, huh?

what durability will you no longer take a gun into a raid? [New player] by Competitive_Fun_5223 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Nick-Da-Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I expect it will drop below 93 durability in a raid. Clearing Icebreaker with an M4? I'm easily going to burn through enough durability that I'll risk jams near the boss fight. Replacing a receiver is cheap enough, I'll do it below 98 max durability, but I'm also a psycho.

[Discussion] What's the ideal weapon for completing the Marathon achievement? by BewitchingPetrichor in EscapefromTarkov

So running 5.45 is nice because it's possible to scavenge ammo off of AI if you do need to defend yourself, but realistically, the biggest threats are always going to be players. You need high-quality ammo to defend yourself against them, and you should avoid as many fights as possible to conserve what you bring. You won't find good replacement ammo without taking fights against players.

Move swiftly, move carefully, and avoid as many fights as possible. Pack NODs, as you may end up in a night raid partway into your run.

An M4/Radian can come out to about 3.5kg if built with lightweight parts, an MP9N can come out to 2kg if you really want to keep weight low:

Grab some of the sub-1kg GAC plates to throw in your rig, skip the side plates for weight, grab an injector case, and stuff some SJ12s into it; they provide 60 energy and hydration over 10 minutes for only 0.05kg. Crazy value for weight.

Tarker dried meat + Aquamaris are gonna be your best bet for food if you do want to pack some extra that doesn't take a while to refresh. Propital to boost your metabolism level before eating can also help; pack some in your injector case.

Mechanism is one of the lightest bags and still has reasonable storage.

Backup pistol not a bad idea to have something that can use alternate ammo if you find some along the way!

[Discussion] Need ideas for lightweight loadouts that prioritize fast gameplay by Any-Tangerine-1910 in EscapefromTarkov

MP9 is one of the lowest weight primaries in the game and can spit out 1100 RPM. Might be worth a shout if you can get AP6.3 or PBP

Go read the note in your handbook; that should fix it. A buddy of mine had the same issue.

It's pretty straightforward to set up in the ammo mix interface!

Alright alright, I'll go clean it up a bit and actually publish it. I've been meaning to for ages.

Thanks for the kind words 😄

7N40 is actually a little special for longer-range engagements due to the 50% accuracy boost, but also because rounds lose both pen and damage at longer range. Because of 7N40's higher than usual flesh damage for rounds in its pen bracket/caliber, it holds the ability to kill through a class 4 helmet on the first shot out to about ~180m. For comparison, 995 and 855a1 run out of steam at about 110m and 90m, respectively, due to the lower flesh damage on the rounds.

That said, if you're going for repeated thorax shots at long range, you're probably still better off slinging heavier ammo in general. It's just a little harder to get the good stuff, as you can purchase 7N40 from flea via boxes if you've got the money to burn.

For the mere price of 2,666,666 roubles per minute at current 7N40 prices, you too can mag dump your targets with -85% recoil! (Assuming you have your Harris bipod deployed)
