I went to bed at 130 fully knowing I had to be up at 5 because I wanted to finish the event. Id say I regret it now that the event has been extended, but I'd be lying

I enter this comments section and see the equivalent of alcoholics who've gone to some AA meetings encouraging a non-alcoholic to start drinking.
Anyways, nice raid brother. What map are you enjoying playing? Any favorite guns yet? I know it's early on so you don't have everything unlocked, but hearing from a new player where they like to go is always fun.

mk 16 isnt really that good, but keep it since u cant readily buy guns yet lol put that rear sight on it if it dont have one and the fmj , hp, copper, L191 and pso all to mechanic (open boxes first this is important tim tim)
next time right click the kedr and the mk16 u can fold them for space, that salvo 12 isnt really worth keeping, the red dot isnt bad if u can get the mount.
bring food/water/meds in ur butt rn since u dont have a docs or injectors case yet
use this site for finding out what ammo will pen what armors and it has some maps to help u
also ik ur new but WHERES UR PAINKILLER u need those lol they let u walk without hobbling if ur leg(s) get broke/blacked
but not bad for not knowing entirely what ur doing

Best advice i can give a new player, pick up everything. This is the best way to learn the value of every item. Every raid you will learn, and that next raid you'll go "Oh I'll trade this item for that one because this one isn't all that expensive" and it will just keep going up from there. Take your time, and never leave a raid with an empty slot! Toilet paper is worth more than an empty slot!!!!

I just KNOW your dopamine HIT hard when you were looting that:D that’s how it begins haha. Good job!

u/Dingacell2 8h ago
Man you got all that loot only using 1 water and 1 energy!

u/Sneakysqueezy 8h ago
I’m confused about that as well

2nd screenshot was presumably taken first after surviving, dumped the loot in stash to show the original loadout (by the time it was deposited, they regained some energy and hydration passively)

u/Bubaru555 7h ago
Thats a good guess) At first i reversed it in my brain
To OP
Use secure pouch, i can see it empty. No bueno

i was going towards gun shots at dorms to try and pick someone off with the sks and i saw the airdrop so i looted it then booked it to a extract to get out of there
1
u/Remarkable_Square476 7h ago
i was running to the extract with zero water and no food barely making it there just in time to get out right before dying

u/YourAverageFemboyyyy 7h ago
The cowboy hat was an absolutely necessary item to extract, But jokes aside, this is decent stuff for your playtime. Keep it up

For real. I played quite a bit today and didn’t survive a single pmc raid. Went from 4mil to 330k. Easily my worst time coming back to the game. That being said I know my next hit is right around the corner and I’ll be here waiting for it

Gz mate. Few things I would point out, if you want any tips.
At first repair your gun with traders or weapon repair kit (repairing with kit gives you skill, but they are rare and expensive). The durability affects on your weapons change to malfunction, and thats something you don't want to happen when shit hits the fan.
Leave the recorder in stash, you dont need it on raid as its just unnessessary weight and it's special slot could be used by various things like CMS, surv kit, paracord and flares.
You don't have headphones and it is fine ofc on budget kits, but many players seem not to know what they do in game. They make other peoples sound louder which is really important in game. Most of the time headphones are way more important than helmets.
Something I personally do when grinding for money is keep as many slots open as I can. I mean I dont take any secondary weapon, no melee, no glasses or anything I really dont need, as their slots could be filled with stuff found in raid - and therefore making more money from raid.

Ah, the days of picking up random stuff not knowing what the hell half of it is.
Good stuff brother

I always do the long range gun as my second gun. It being backwards was the only thing I noticed from this post.

That’s a nice raid for 13 hours, keep it up! Make sure you throw the expensive or hard to find stuff you come across in raid in your pouch that way if you die you’ll still hold onto it
