[QUOTE=waylander;53098692]do you have to check the traders as they refresh for rarer items?[/QUOTE]
For certain items like AP rounds you're going to have to be max rank for the trader selling them and be sitting on the hour refresh like a hawk.
You will probably still miss you're chance at getting them the second the inventory updates because a billion other greasy mall cops are waiting to buy their next 9,000 rounds so they can sit in a corner at spawn on factory, dump their entire magazine to kill one person, then leave and repeat.
Best bet for getting AP rounds at refresh is to already have your mouse on the spot that item will populate on refresh (typically the next available single slot) and type in a smaller amount, I usually try to get 300 rounds a go.
Now fence on the other hand, he updates every second because he sells what people sell to him, so if you want to vulture through his stuff it can pay off at times, I've seen at least a dozen factory and marked keys in there, forts on occasion, kitted weapons or nice attachments etc.
Update him every so often as you're scrolling and hope for the best, just know everyone else is doing the same thing in real time so while you may see something that JUST refreshed and you buy it in 0.01 seconds don't be too surprised when it says the item is no longer in stock.

It appears Strelok has met a terrible fate at the hands of a lowly scav

This scav round was kinda neat

I did end up swapping the duffel for an MBss with Another fort in though
So I just upgraded from Standard to the edition below EOD. How long does it take for the upgrade to take effect on my account? I'm sitting on a huge amount of sick loot I got from taking out a squad of high level people that I can't fit into my stash so I need that extra space :v:
you have to reset your profile :^ )
so most likely you'll only get it next wipe

Does a reset get rid of everything, or could I cheese it and insure my keybar full of keys and kitted out weapons and shit then dump them somewhere secret on a raid and reset my profile to get them back when the insurance timer is up?
If I'm going to lose all these keys and this sick RSASS I found I'm going to be sad.
insurance resets too

no, insurance resets, but you can give all ur stuff to a friend
Well shit. Maybe I'll do some Factory runs and make some hatchlings very, very happy before resetting. I don't know anyone that plays Tarkov so I can't ask a friend to mule all this shit for me especially since there's so much I want to keep. I gotta get over this gear attachment I have :v:
I'm only level 15 and haven't really progressed much with the traders so I guess it isn't a huge loss anyway. Thanks for the info though, better than resetting and losing everything unexpectedly :v:
join the discord and hand your shit out to us :V

Not a bad idea, maybe I'll do that when I have some time. I could have someone hold on to my wallets and keybar for me so I can get my keys and money back when I reset, then give out weapons and shit. Might help me get over some of that gear fear if I've got plenty of money to re-gear myself instead of growing too attached to a certain gun I found.
so uh thought this guy was a teammate and i guess he thought i was his teammate?

Bitch has been around the block a few times
One day I plan to start a PMC for the sole purpose of murdering homeless slavic types in the hopes to recover busted firearms that have missing components, also cans of spam. This is my sound business model and I hope no enterprising American company steals it.
Can I get a link to the discord? I'll share my shit with people, and give the main pickings to whoever holds my wallets and keybar/keys to give back to me after I reset.

Nothing real special but I'm sure someone could get some use out of some of this. I'm a hoarder so this extra space from the PFE edition will help feed my addiction :v:
[QUOTE=jonoPorter;53098696]traders don't refresh for rarer items, you have to unlock those by leveling them up by doing tasks for them[/QUOTE]
traders get some decent items in small quantities every hour, the most famous of those is probably AK-74Ns for Blackrock rigs on Prapor level 1
it's a bullshit, awful mechanic because people sit in the trader menus every hour on the hour and spam the trades, or (rumored) just have autoclick scripts do it for them. They're supposed to give everyone a chance but between bots and the fact the reset mechanic is mysterious and the items actually spawn 10-30 seconds before the timers run out, it doesn't work

Got some help from a few guys in the discord and managed to pawn off my stuff before resetting. Thanks for the help, and sorry for panic-TKing on the first attempt. I got scared having so much loot on me :v:
Im thinking of upgrading my game too, any idea when the price drops again? Dont wanna have to pay twice, it kinda sucks theres no in game way to upgrade your stash yet
Well you can always use Weapon cases and Item cases to increase stash size that is what i have done i got atleast 9 weapon cases now full with M4's and Mp5's and modded Ak74's i had to sell 5-6 Forts because i'm missing 1 level for the Item case after that i think i'm set after that till the next wipe.
Also btw if somebody doesn't know this you can level Peacekeeper to king by converting Currency
to be fair a lot of people will fill their stash with guns and for some reason enver use them
I just store the important things I can't buy, if you can buy it, don't keep it in your stash.

what the fuck is this
i picked this up off a guy and i'm scared to fire it because it looks like it'll shoot me in the shoulder with that second barrel looking thing where the stock should be :v:
you can put a magpul PRS on that. thats pretty much it for now though.

It looks like a converter stock so you can mount AR15 stocks on an AK.
AR15 rifles have a buffer tube back there that houses a massive spring. It is why AR15 rifles can't have folding stocks. It serves as a mounting point for stocks.
Not being very knowledgeable when it comes to guns, I was pretty confused even after reading the description. This game is teaching me things about guns though, which is really cool. I just recently started understanding the rail systems and how attachments work, since I kept trying to drag sights onto guns and getting an error.
Thanks for the info.
Tarkov only lets you mount Optics in fixed positions regardless of how much rail space you have which is annoying for me
Finally found an eight-round tube for the semiauto 12 gauge, the last piece of the puzzle

[I]I like to keep this handy, for close encounters.[/I]
Seems like you got a gift if you bought the game Before new year. A keybar, fully modded m4 and fully modded ak and an icase that can hold 4 forts wihtout taking more space then one fort in the stash.
Or well it can hold anything it seems.
Dont forget to claim it!
