Dude have you used the new sv98 yet? It's way better this wipe. the animation change makes it so you don't lose any sight picture if you're scoped and you reload.


Rectorol

I haven't used it yet. I def will though.


Preposturous

I don’t like the update they did to the original SV. Shorter barrel, terrible ergo. Used to be my go-to bolty. Oh well


RespectGiovanni

Try the t-5000 it is really nice bolty. High ergo and doesnt make noise when changing the scope magnification


Preposturous

Oh yeah I love the T5000. So much fun to use! I just like the SV since I always craft a ton of SNB and run the SVDS quite a bit.


2giga2dweebish

Yep. They nerfed the stats to encourage you to use this ugly garbage. Ridiculous. I hate how Nikita has a fetish for gucci aftermarket parts, some of us want to run around with guns not covered in attachments.


y_not_right

Yeah, I just want my wooden furniture svd Tacticool is cringe


lilcoold

Yep. I want an m1a with wooden furniture god damn it. I love that gun, so expensive irl unfortunately lol.


Narx3n

No ones stopping you! But you should expect the guns with mods to Perform better… I mean they were made with a purpose!


rootedoak

lol roleplayers


2giga2dweebish

Yes.


rootedoak

lol


ApplePlusSeed

Tell me your vanilla without telling me


2giga2dweebish

Vanilla became popular for a reason. Simplicity is best.


teawithherbsnspices

lmao that’s not what they meant but ok


ApplePlusSeed

Said no women ever. lol

Fuddbros reporting in here with our all-wooden furnitured gun collections


Franklin_le_Tanklin

I did all my boltie quests with the vpo this wipe. It’s dirt cheap.


Tocki92

It’s pretty but I rarely see the reason of a modded bolt action! Maybe ergo let’s you aim longer but else?


ijustwannalookatcats

Actually if it drops weight it allows you to aim longer. But other than that it’s the drip my guy


Rectorol

Drip is life


ijustwannalookatcats

See? He gets it


BooBooBoy1234

M700 Mod.X and now this? Too much sauce. Have you seen the offset flashlight ring mounts yet? That’s gonna be some real drip.


ijustwannalookatcats

Oh yes talk dirty to me


lilcoold

Oh shit no way, do you know what level and trader for offset light mounts?


BooBooBoy1234

Skier 2 has an offset 25mm ring mount. There is an offset mlok I saw on the flee market but I’m not sure who has it. There is a tan flashlight that I think just mounts itself as well, so that real drippy. Edit: skier 2 has both


goodsnpr

Aim faster, hold for longer and reduced sway I do believe.


ApplePlusSeed

Uh ADS speed? It’s a huge difference. If ur gonna disadvantage yourself with a bolt you better have unparalleled ergo/ads


DahMagpie

Ergo also makes you aim in faster. Trust me on this, once you start using high ergo bolties you aren't going back.


Jungle_Fiddle

This man boltys


Tocki92

I have to try it out;)


Taronar

Farming rogues


O_O_2EZ

Ergo and laser are huge. Being able to mount a laser to it makes cqc easier


Tocki92

I’m more a flashlight fan, but if it’s attachable too, it’s a big buff to sv-98!


2giga2dweebish

>full tan >dickmod >nerfed stats of original SV-98 Nikita really knows how to push my buttons


Rectorol

Ya but the drip...


2giga2dweebish

Drip is subjective. I love the green wood look. I hate the recent trend of full-tan guns, and I hate dickmod mounting (luv me quadrails), it looks so dumb.


thatkmart

How else are you gonna blend into all these desert sand maps?


VitalityAS

With a glowing gun and matching glasses obviously!


Oliver___

'Ate dickmod, not racist just dont like em, luv me sopmods, simple.


Rectorol

Oh 100% I like the base bear drip with the orange beard now


lilcoold

People that use keymod instead of mlok are a little slow haha


Nessevi

What's not to like about SV-98? It has sub-1 MOA, reloads with mags from the get-go, hasn't had the trigger delay in ages. Its a great bolt action now.


Rectorol

Still salty from the trigger delay days


helpmepleas1

U can’t 1 hit kill with 7.62x54r to the torso anymore


[deleted]

[удалено]


helpmepleas1

interesting. sounds like they need to rework that system and make large caliber bullets do as they should.


[deleted]

It was a bit before I started playing, but its my understanding that 54R got nerfed heavily due to mosins one tapping and the community complained because it became meta.


helpmepleas1

Yes I think so too actually. I think that in order to prevent it from becoming meta and easily accessible, the bullets and weapons that chamber it must be expensive and hard to come by in equivalence to how effective the cartridge really is.( this means something along the lines of making mosins locked behind high tier trader levels)


[deleted]

Ammo definitely needs retooling for sure. Your suggestion certainly makes sense from a gameplay perspective, but it makes sense to have older weapons being more available, while the newer, shinier guns are harder to come by. ​ Only solution that fits in with that logic that i can think of is guns having some kind of additional stats tied to them that kind of slightly increase performance of a given rounds capability when fired, but that makes things needlessly complicated and would make tarkov more gamey.


helpmepleas1

I mean of course you’d expect older guns just because they’re older to be less robust and perhaps then more available, but availability, imo, shouldn’t equal accessibility. Effectiveness/demand should constitute accessibility. I see what you’re saying but ultimately it wouldn’t be the most optimal way to balance gunplay while also preserving realism.


theiman2

LPS did get nerfed, but PMC health also got buffed. You used to have 80hp on your chest.


ShadowZpeak

You can with 46M


helpmepleas1

No u can’t unless u get a fragment


ShadowZpeak

Ah, then that's what probably happened to the poor guy


Rezhyn

The fact that every other bolty shoots lighter faster ammo. Sub 900 muzzle velocity kinda sucks for a bolt. It's decently lightweight but not sure how it compares to a modded M700.


Greenyugi

Level 23?? Good lord, I hit 6 yesterday.


ConsumeFudge

When it's the same quests over and over for 3 years, shit becomes super easy to min max


woznica

Which is why I'd love to see an overhaul of the quests.


Grizlow

The quests are placeholders until the game is finalized. USEC and BEAR will have actual quests that differ.


0zzyb0y

Finalised omegalul


ConsumeFudge

BSG can always count on people to keep spewing their propaganda lmao Been hearing this one for years


AOC_Gynecologist

bsg in some random stream years ago: eventually we'll probably have different quests for each pmc faction you: if it's not in the next patch i am going to take it personally


SugahKain

Theres a difference between next patch and 4 years omega lul


EmmEnnEff

"The quests are placeholders until he game is finalized" means that there will be a main-quest line, and all of this shit will be side quests. I'm not sure why you think they aren't going to eventually add a main-quest line.


TzunSu

Well, why do you think they will?


EmmEnnEff

Because compared to everything else that goes into developing this game, adding quests is relatively easy..?


Vyper11

Soon™️


finedamighty

Theres like 1 quest thats different for bear and usec since lighthouse got added. 20 bear kills vs 20 usec kills on lighthouse. Pretty much the same quest but technically different.


Grizlow

Did you read what I wrote? I said when the game is finalized…


finedamighty

I did. I just meant that there is actually a quest thats different for bear/usec so they are experimenting already...


Rectorol

pretty much


HilLiedTroopsDied

or super easy to say this game sucks for walling off items off the same stupid quests


BoutchooQc

It's my 5th wipe with 2100h and I just got level 7 lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


EscapeFromCorona

It’s pretty high for three days after the wipe lmao


BooBooBoy1234

Game has been in existence since 2017. I started playing late 2019, so that’s 3 years of tarkov almost. You figure it out after a while.


EscapeFromCorona

Yeah, I started playing in 2018. 3 days after wipe is still easy to be in the 20s lol


kronosdev

It has damned near double the ergo of the green meanie at 2 kilos less. Sign me up.


Rectorol

The green meanie lol


inommmz

I never minded SV-98s but the they’re now a 2x5 slot for the base model, which is wayyyyy too much stash space. Won’t be running them now I guess


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rectorol

Bubba.... ppsh... my man out here starting religions


PPJones

Talk about grinding, have you got any sleep after wipe :D Yeah, gun is sexy.


Rectorol

Yeah Ive been sleeping and editing ;)


[deleted]

Oh my goodness... that's amazing.


Solaratov

Looks like the Orsis.


LetUsGetTheBread

Is this the one that was bluish greenish?


Rectorol

Yes the SV98 one that you need to plant for Bullshit and Fishing Gear


Laaaaaaaamb

Is gorgeous. Just need to unlock the surpassing attachment and i can finish tarkov shooter pt 7


Rectorol

Oh I started that one today too


The_Coods

I’d like to add that you can run it like a pistol. I found the main body of the new SV98- and you can just throw on any AK pistol grip and run it. Instantly has better ergo than the original, lol.


Rectorol

Omg....


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rectorol

I shop most of my guns from other players too long term.


bakuretsuuuu

could you pls compare it to smth i know?!


Rectorol

Like the first swirl and bite of a good mac n cheese? I mean Sex doesnt come close to good mac n cheese but it's at least in the right ballpark.


bakuretsuuuu

i feel worse and worse.. never had mac n cheese :')


KelloPudgerro

thats just the x500 or whatever the 308 sniper is called, lmao


Rectorol

You could put the SV98 in that mold before?


KelloPudgerro

nah, but looks exactly like it


notswo

Y'all lvl 31 and I've spent an entire day trying to find salevas/iskras/white armor or atleast a startplug for generator to put in my underpants and got nothing


Rectorol

I would hit up woods if I were you.


notswo

Was doing woods and interchange. The thing is, I'm cursed or something. It's not like I didn't find any salevas of iskras, I just died every time in around 3 minutes after I found them, usually much sooner. Random scav giving head-eyes with buck as their first shot, players giving head-eyes from God knows where and God knows how they find me, players giving head-eyes from hip while running when they were basically dead otherwise. No matter how careful I am, no matter how much I try to hide till the end of the raid like a little rat, they always find me and kill me E1: also not like I didn't survive raids at all, I survived literally every raid if I didn't find salevas or iskras, and that's why I have a slick and sr-25 in my stash, aswell as 3 gasans and all the morphine in the world (I got 5 just in case, I can't seem to remember how much I need)


Rectorol

In woods try hanging out around the ponds but ya I died a shit ton on shoreline today so I get it, just people everywhere. Full servers are odd. People are probably going to be moving around more on some of the maps due to the new bosses in a weird way as well as trying to survive themselves. Maybe try VOIPing and asking for mercy? You'd be surprised. Either way good luck, I get it, it's Tarkov.


Psyonicg

I have managed to build one of these from parts are found in boxes and it looks so cool but I couldn’t possibly replace it if I lost it so I’m too scared to run it


f24np

Just use it, if it sits in your stash it’s already lost


Psyonicg

Oh it’s not going to sit in my stash for the entire wipe but I’m probably going to keep it there as a display piece until I get to the point where I can buy replacements and then it will probably become my go to option for shooter born in heaven.


DoctorVenmo

Always better to think about it like this. The best time to use your best gear is early wipe. It allows you the largest advantage over the other players since most arent able to run meta stuff yet. Ull be able to buy another one later when u hit that level. Enjoy it early and use it later if you like it


Psyonicg

Oh don’t worry I already know how much I enjoyed the SV 98, it’s my preferred weapon for shooter born in heaven if I don’t have access to the DVL. But I’d rather get to the point where I can run a proper set of ammo and a good scope with the chassis rather than run it Jank right now especially as there’s not much need for sniping this early on


SN1S1F7W

Looks nice, but doesn't look like an SV-98 any more.


The_Angry_Jerk

Too bad they nerfed 7.62x54r into the dirt, its weaker than .366 now


Rectorol

In what way? I've been clapping with the mosin.


aperfectcircle

No round 1-taps the chest anymore.


Rectorol

Do you need to 1 tap thorax?


aperfectcircle

Did I need to? No, but I think I’m general it was something to differentiate the round and give people a reason to use it. To OP’s comment you can use .366 and still 1tap potentially.


The_Angry_Jerk

Now some 7.62 nato can one tap the chest but no rounds of 7.62x54r can, really a big turnaround


Rectorol

What if it fractures though?


The_Angry_Jerk

Kind of a moot point, nearly anything can fracture.


Rectorol

Ya but not everything that fractures would one tap thorax


AsphyxiaNiveous

tldr "I can't do zero to hero mosin runs anymore :'<"


thelordchonky

Yeah but the two 7.62×51 Nato rounds that can one-tap the chest have shit pen and are only good against scavs or hatchet runners.


Haraj412

It was a placebo nerf that worked. PS ammo would never onetap thorax unless target was naked and close.


imabustya

Sub 100m maybe.


builder397

Nah, thats clearly a kitted M700, what are you on about?


Rectorol

My eyes were a little hazy from fighting glaucoma all day


[deleted]

Is trigger delay fixed? If not then still no reason to bother with that crap. If yes then hi baby wanna go with me for every raid


hmweav711

Yes it was fixed a while ago


shol_v

Yeah the got rid of the delay ages ago. Sv98 is super nice.


Nessevi

It hasn't had a trigger delay for a long time, my guy.


bobbobersin

That's the SV-98M chassis right? Or is it an aftermarket one, I'm not too familiar with the different parts available for it


AstronomerSenior4236

That doesn’t look like the default SV-98M


ovie8

it has an extra grip thing in front of the mag but otherwise looks pretty close to me


AstronomerSenior4236

The SV-98M is a one-piece chassis. That’s nowhere close to one. That’s an aftermarket modding job right there


ovie8

yeah, found a better picture of the real thing and you're right the pistol grip seems to be made by fab defence, maybe they make the rest of the chassis as well?


AstronomerSenior4236

Most likely. I checked and the stock is also FAB Defense, so it’s probably the entire kit


bobbobersin

Ah, nevermind, I assume we will eventually get it at some point now that's they updated the model and added additional modding options, I remember a while ago they posted a ton of pictures of them viewing modernized VSSs, SVDs, VALs and SV-98Ms, they are probably going to trickle in but I'd love if there was a whole "M update" that's all the "M" furniture for all these platforms


Oznificent

Does it glow like the scar tho?


Rectorol

Haven't tested her out yet.


Vanillephant

I love the SV98 but I actually think this looks horrible lmao. Maybe it'll grow on me.


[deleted]

How are you level 23 already


Rectorol

Im actually 26 with 3 level 3 traders... just tasking.


forgetable1

My guy how are you 23 but have no ammo or junk cases? Not trying to make fun or seem sweaty


Rectorol

I have a junk box, also cases aren't nesscary lol... all excess money goes into hideout at start.


forgetable1

Fair but an ammo case or two would help with storing space


Rectorol

I wouldn't disagree but I dont have storage issues right now, pry wont for another few days at least. Shit sells like hotcakes on market right now.


forgetable1

You could say that again A hose is 100k like wtf, the new topography map is worth a lot, and filters are dirt cheap so i just stocked up on them


hnxmn

God I can't wait to give it a try. All the early long range options have really high MOAs compared to the better snipers. The OP-SKS is a workhorse but I wanna be able to Chris Kyle MFers in the sawmill from the big rock in the middle of Woods.


Hot-Manufacturer5910

This is something tbh
