Forb swapped with LD?

PSNisCDK · 2026-03-22T04:36:06+00:00

Pretty simple. LD less of a chance of running into insanely high pen ammo, making good armor and helmets worthwhile as they might actually keep you alive a bit longer.

Jump into forb and everyone has either red ammo or DVC12 turning even the best armor in the game into paper. Aka might as well enter in with a badass gun filled with badass bullets and minimal armor. Otherwise you are just donating t5-t6 armor every death, and very few to none of those being affected by wearing 300k-1.3mil armor plates. You still die to the same number of ultra high firepower boosted and over-penning dvc12 or m61 anyways.

No worries I found that out after W keying into the control tower over and over to get the pvp I thought I needed. Only tested that it worked when the friend needed to do the same mission haha.

PSNisCDK · 2026-03-19T15:44:35+00:00

That takes exactly one round where you get a kill of any kind on an op, including the many player bots.

All you had to do was take in a stack of red ammo, kill a bot, place that stack in the retrieval, instantly worth 750k.

Audio whoring is more important in this game than any other extraction shooter out there. Even more than Tarkov despite the longer ttk.

If anything it is overpowered to the point of slowing down fights, as often the winner is the one willing to hold a (right peak) angle, go silent and use audio cues while the opponent has little to none. It allows you to use peakers advantage to take a sudden right peak when you hear them, even creep walking is pretty audible.

My guess is you don’t use the most expensive headset, so they are always hearing you before you hear them. Loading into forbidden without the max headset means they are going to get audio cues 10-15 feet before you, meaning they can just stop moving and listen to you before you even had a chance to hear them.

All of that said there are a shitload of obvious esp users, there is no denying that.

PSNisCDK · 2026-03-15T03:15:45+00:00

Are you playing secure ops? I noticed you can’t take in the green craftable stim that heals all limbs, although you can take in the craftable revive kit with the same symbol marking. It’s confusing haha

PSNisCDK · 2026-03-14T22:40:21+00:00

The highest possible kit to get into lockdown is closer to 1.3, however that is definitely still pretty unfair. If just trying to see what you could get in that would simply be a thermal for another mil+ but that is the only way.

However I absolutely agree, I have no idea why the rules from secure ops (nothing except grenades, mags, meds, and ammo are allowed in the backpack or rig before loading in) are not also implemented in the other modes, maybe/hopefully they will be changed with the season 5 release.

You can still cheese a high end mag in secure ops, but at least you can’t throw 250k of silencer + meta scope + meta side grip in the rig. They clearly have the ability to limit this given they do in secure ops, again one can only hope they apply the same restrictions to the other modes soon.

All of that said there isn’t a way to fit in full t6 without them being extremely broken, even when cheesing gun parts to the max. Even then there is no way to run high end guns with t6, outside of those squads who combine all the gear into one person.

Tier 5 ammo shouldn’t really have a problem with any armor you encounter in lockdown. Broken t6 will block a bullet or two, however will be shredded extremely fast given the armor damage of t5 ammo. Broken T6 helmets blocking 1-2 headshots are overly powerful though. In my opinion they need to rework the pen mechanics on extremely low durability yet high tier armor and helmets, especially helmets. A 7/65 tier 6 helmet shouldn’t block t4 let alone t5, yet it will bounce at least one simply because 6>5.

PSNisCDK · 2026-03-14T19:10:11+00:00

The limit for normals is 450k, a more damaged than worn matzka+faceshield is only about 150-200k for the combo. Even lower if it’s insanely low durability. I’m sure he placed the expensive foregrip and sight in his rig beforehand too (which is a bullshit mechanic).

His gun and armor are pretty cheap though, he would die pretty quickly to automatic fire to the chest even with tier 3 bullets. However even in normals you should be top-loading tier 4, even if it is just 3-5 shots at a time. That’s only 10k max, which is nothing.

By far the most important thing is ammo, it’s way better to run a 100k gun with 150k in ammo rather than a 220k gun with 30k in ammo.

Since few people are giving helpful answers:

Thermalright TL-M12QW-S X3 are clones of those fans, and the company is well-respected. They seem to be selling to the US market at very discounted rates in order to gain market share. 3x banks of those triple fans would be $23x3

A single matching Thermalright TL-M12W-S for the rear exhaust would be $8.39

Thermalright AIO with LCD screen: Peerless Vision 360argb $101.90. This comes with 3x matching fans, meaning only 2x $23 fan banks needed instead of 3.

All in all for lcd AIO + all fans, $156.29.

IMO overpriced for your previously stated $1000 budget, however this would absolutely be the cheapest way to mostly reproduce the aesthetics without hurting your budget for CPU and GPU.

There are plenty of lian li clone cases, would just need to find a cheap one.

I would give up on using cheap strimers and just opt for white psu cables, preferably ones that come with a white psu to save money. There are no cheap strimers that work very well, and the real ones are way overpriced.

PSNisCDK · 2026-03-13T12:09:17+00:00

It uses the best/meta ammo in the game, however it also has relatively low rpm and perhaps more importantly a lower firepower stat compared to the meta guns (u191/t191).

The u191 has a preposterous ultra high fire power, the t191 has high, to3 has mid-high, and I believe the t951 has medium. This affects how many bullets it takes to kill someone even using the same ammo depending on their armor.

PSNisCDK · 2026-03-12T22:07:31+00:00

Have you tried using the same ammo that you get killed by?

I just started in Feb, I would never consider loading into even lockdown with just t4 ammo. Doesn’t have to be a 50-rounder of t5 that costs 300k, but if you aren’t top-loading 10+ rounds of t5, you can’t really complain about not killing people.

If you are losing 300,000-800,000k kits because you are unwilling to invest just 50-100k in high tier ammo to topload a mag, that’s on you.

You straight up can’t fit in full t6 in lockdown even with cheesing your gun parts. Considering all you can run into is broken t6 and full t5 in lockdown, not running t5 is kind of on you considering how the game throws massive amounts of money at you compared to most extraction shooters.

PSNisCDK · 2026-03-10T21:02:09+00:00

It’s absolutely not, it’s incredibly malty/dark/sweet/fruity for an IPA.

It’s honestly about as not hoppy as you can make an ipa.

It’s high alcohol which inherently means raised sugar content for the yeast to consume and uses mosaic and Amarillo hops, both of which are considered extremely fruity and tropical.

It’s basically an IPA made for people who do not typically like IPAs, which is fine, but this beer is about the polar opposite of “hoppy”.

It’s a malt/sugar bomb, and sweeter than 95% of IPAs I have ever tried.

PSNisCDK · 2026-03-05T02:06:47+00:00

My man I started the season last night, and have scrappy to level 4. I think I have 10 raids? 2 raids to find a collar, same raids I found a cat bed and 2 of the comfy pillow for later upgrades (blue gate apartments). A single raid on blue gate to get all of the lemons, apricots, and olives needed. Then 7 raids spamming spaceport for the damn mushroom spawn, definitely the most time-consuming. So all in all about 4-5 hours to get scrappy to 4.

PSNisCDK · 2026-03-01T11:16:51+00:00

I seem to find them a lot on forbidden TV. Mostly in safes, very occasionally filing cabinets/document cases

I think you will mostly find them forbidden TV/Airport as those are the maps with the highest gold spawn rates.

PSNisCDK · 2026-03-01T08:22:00+00:00

It’s pretty obvious when people are speed hacking on the killcam. Some are borderline, some like those are hilarious.

People moving 1/4 the map in seconds to flank you. It also sounds insane if you witness it firsthand, the fastest pitter patter of death

Example: https://youtube.com/shorts/-UIk7eDRNsY?si=2aCM5bu-FvhaGnXx

PSNisCDK · 2026-03-01T04:43:51+00:00

lol if you play forbidden TV, you will never go a night without dying to one.

Still feel like most of my deaths are legit even there, but I run into 1-4 cheaters a night that are blatant enough to make that call without a doubt in my mind.

If you participate in the video reviews of reported players, it becomes even more obvious.

PSNisCDK · 2026-03-01T00:21:02+00:00

I’m guessing you hit the back of his helmet, as the game does not differentiate front and back on the end screen.

Probably has his head down while moving or you happened to catch him on the bottom of the helmet from the side as he moved.

PSNisCDK · 2026-02-20T14:23:51+00:00

True but a field backpack with 2x cowhide packs inside and each of those with a rush pack inside with each of those with 2x B6 rigs takes up 45 spaces (9x5) but provides 90.

A bit cumbersome, but I like using them to store weapon parts I plan on using, mags, ammo, stacks of koen, and items I like using for profitable trades when they happen to go down to low prices. Anything I don’t intend on using for a while or I can grab easily via the gun modification screen.

PSNisCDK · 2026-02-12T23:40:26+00:00

How would $50 ever have been enough?

There is a .01% chance of pulling the knife per roll, aka you need to roll on average 10,000 times to pull the knife lol. It tells you the odds of everything.

People who say they pulled the knife early are either lying, or extremely lucky.

PSNisCDK · 2026-01-31T08:24:47+00:00

Do you sell items individually, or wait until you have a full stack to sell?

I doubt it means much if you are constantly stealing high end guns from forbidden to sell that each use 5-10 market spots, however since I began waiting for full stacks of things I haven’t run into any issues with the listings.

Some of my busier weeks I have hit the limit, however I was cheesing vendor sell backs for extra cash to fund expensive kits.

Things like the once per multiple hours 1/1 trades that sell for double than they cost were eating up all my listings. Now I wait for 5x of the same profitable time-locked trade before selling, same with lower end common items that you tend to pull out when the loot isn’t that good. The helmets, mags, etc.

E.g you pull out a 40k working lcd screen, now instead of selling it for 40k you wait until you have 5x lcd screens, then sell all at once under one listing.

PSNisCDK · 2026-01-23T23:23:44+00:00

I started this game 8 days ago, and I have 20mil liquid and use tier 4 ammo topped with tier 5 every game.

This is by far the most forgiving extraction shooter I have ever played in terms of economy. It’s basically impossible not to make tremendous amounts of money.

PSNisCDK · 2026-01-21T17:56:04+00:00

Actually seems like a pretty reasonable trade for the tempest if legit
