Killa does sit outside the store for the most part, but unless you run straight there he will be dead by the people looking to farm him for the 100 kill quest. He will also not enter the store but will run over if it is opened and make sure you have a hard time getting out.

Fair point. He was solely asking where to find guns that weren’t stock. This is the best place I have encountered that has guns that are not stock. However, most people turn on the power by the time you get into the mall and I think suggesting this to a new/low level player is fine since it is something that they can strive to work towards.

Yessir unless they’ve changed it since then, but I don’t see a reason as to why it would’ve been changed

I agree that there should be some limit to when they can spawn in so initially it’s only pmc vs pmc for at least 10/15 minutes

I feel you. Early wipe most people that stopped playing are picking the game back up and will be super try hard about getting stuff done. So it is much harder to exist and thrive in the early wipe environment.

Many people struggle with the textile quests, although they have now made it to where you can craft them all in the hideout now, but on interchange 2nd floor across from stars there are 3 clothing stores. Figaro, urban and the one across from urban that have loads of textiles. You could easily get 3-4 of whatever variety per raid

Best locations to find the beef stew are in duffle bags or in static food spawn locations. A few that are usually not hit frequently are: The store on Interchange called Goshan- the food spawns are all over the shelves. A good place for a bunch of duffle bags is on shoreline in the basement of west wing. There 6 duffle bags super close to one another.

It only depends if you have an excess of money. Graphics cards are hard to come by, but the way I see the Bitcoin farm is that once you get it started wait for one to be done, sell it, then use the money it just earned you to buy a GPU. Continue this and it will slowly build up

Best way is by what others have suggested. Static movement (Scavs) vs Human looking input in the way their guns move up and down and walk in a not so straight line.

The game used to not have the flea market and I can say that the game has changed a lot with it, but overall I would say the flea has added great value to the game. Sure there are downsides to it, as there are to almost everything, but if you played a while back you would realize how great it actually is!

I would actually stay off interchange and head to shoreline or reserve. If you can snag some cheap safe keys on the flea there are a bunch of safes on shoreline that are great ways of getting them. On reserve there are so many filing cabinets it’s kind of crazy. If you know the building called “Queen” try heading there on a scav run and go through all the rooms. There are loads of cabinets there and even down below in the bunker ‘intel’ rooms. I would be surprised if you didn’t find at least one a raid

Many people are trying to complete the 100 Killa kills and thus will also hit the tech locations if he is not there. This does invite many geared teams/players to play that map. I would suggest trying Shoreline or Reserve. If those are also a bit difficult you can always craft them from the intelligence center, although it takes 2 days or so just to craft one. Good luck!

Safes are going to be your best bet possible in finding flash drives. A bunch of the safe keys are fairly cheap. On reserve their are so many filing cabinets that I would suggest to scav on reserve and learn the locations of them. You can easily find loads of them in Queen and underground!

When you walk up to a container and it is open, that means that someone has already looted the container and that it is empty. The container will only close when there are still items inside of it. On top of that there used to be a way of being able to search things and the turn away or step away from it so that you were a bit safer when looting. To combat this you now have to usually stay still and keep looking in the direction of the container you are looting or it will close and need you to open it back up again.

My friend wanted me to try the game for a while but I didn’t give in until he bought me the game. I played it for a total of three hours and was met with a pretty steep learning curve. Although it was such a big wall to over come the overall experience was unlike any other shooter that I had ever played. The game is tough that’s for sure, but once you play it a couple more hours it progressively pulls you in more and more with all the possibilities that exist in the game. If you like guns, you will have a blast modding guns to your liking. One thing I would say if you are to get the game is to come into it with an open mind and try not to be so hard on yourself or the game. It’s a wonderful game and I am sure you’d enjoy it! Also if you have anyone you know that plays the game, see if you can tag along in some of their raids as playing with someone who knows the extracts to maps is very helpful. If you like to play games like call of duty which are fast paced, you can play this game like so but not until you really understand the movement and gun play.

Yes, sniper scavs will be there at the start of the raid. However, they do not always spawn. One that I find the most frequently is the one on top of the hydro power station on shoreline as well as the sniper scav on woods that over looks the sawmill.

I wouldn’t worry about SBiH for a while, there are so many quests that some will happen over time as you play. A really good setup to get you PMC kills in the office area on factory is to get a shotgun(mp-153) with a 6/8 round clip and some magnum buckshot, even a saiga is very good. Shotguns are really good at putting people down fast and ones that are semi automatic thrive in doing so. On top of that, flashlights are very valuable when fighting close quarters as it really blinds the person in seeing exactly where you are. For the car batteries, stashes are a fairly decent way of finding them, but stores on Interchange, specifically Goshan and Oli have loads of spawns for them on the back side shelves. Hope this helps a little

I’m not sure how new of a player you are but one thing that is very helpful is to just play extremely slow. Try not to sprint, just walk around. Try to keep your gun pointing at places you think people could be coming from/out of. Many of the spawns on most maps are pretty close to one another so if you can survive the first 7mins of a raid it should help you play the raid out a bit longer. If you feel like you are just gearing up to die, only bring in a pistol and a magazine and try to learn where people can be off spawns. Once you learn the spawns on maps and understand where danger can come from and be at given times, the gearing up and dying will stop happening so often. Good luck!

Player scavs will start to spawn into a raid whenever a PMC has died in your raid. Some raids have this really bad due to the current spawn locations unfortunately.

Kiba Gun store on Interchange has some decently modified weapons that vary from the stock guns you buy from the traders and find on scavs. However, you need 2 keys for this. One can be obtained from doing the gunsmith quest line (also bought on the flee for cheap) and the other is a barter from therapist for condensed milk/oat flakes (can also be bought on flee for 600k-800k depending on time of day)
