Yo guys, I need help with completing Fence's assignment for the ''The Ticket'' story chapter (PVE), I only need the PMC kills on shoreline but everything I do a raid I only get around 3 kills. Is there an optimal way to get 5 PMC kills?
If I’m not mistaken u can transit away and back and get more kills. I know the smugglers base and sometimes the cottage can spawn pmcs
thx man
yea ofc lmk if u get it
just got it, came across a single pmc and after that a squad
oh perfect
It was always the plan for Terragroup to abandon all the USECs to die and switch to Black Division as their real army. Once the USECs evacuated key personnel and handed them over to black division the unheard didn't have any use for them anymore.
Long and short is my USEC guy wants to avange all of his buddies who got stabbed in the back and left to rot by Terragroup. That's my headcanon anyway.
For debtor I work with Kerman right
accept Mr. Kerman's offer and agree to find evidence on TerraGroup, but refuse to hand in more than 2 major evidence for debtor path
theanks
you work with mr kerman at first but eventually its mainly lightkeeper
i highly suggest looking at the flow chart on the wiki
If I give the case to prapor and don't have lightkeeper unlocked am I soft-locked from the story until I unlock him or am I not reading stuff right?
that sounds about right
you get the quest line to unlock lk after giving the case to prapor and then have to do a few story things for lk and then you get the case back
Thank you for the info!
Anyone here that has all the endings explained?
or is there any info here that shows that?
What exactly are you looking for, how to reach them? Or their lore implications?
lore implications :P
I would like to start a topic about the current airdrops (When Toilet Paper or Vaseline falls out).
My theory is:
Edward (Peacemaker's competitor), whom we learned about from the event with the Smugglers, having started regular airdrop deliveries to Tarkov bosses, accidentally revealed (as we know from the event) the flight schedule of his planes with airdrop. The Peacemaker apparently intercepted the schedule data and decided to set up Edward's reputation by planting fake Airdrops.
hi!! welcome to OEFT!
i like your theory 🙂
Thanks mate!
And some antoher theory just coming to my head after reading first parts of Tarkov Book "Predator"
In the Streets of Tarkov, we have Construction Site, and according to the book, underground of Construction site it has "Scav Prison" for the "Scav Slaves". "Scav Slaves" is the regular civilians who been captured by local mobs and they were forcibly turned into slaves, and the smashed doors of apartments, houses, and looted local markets, building are not the consequences of the evacuation. This is precisely the systematic work of the Scav slaves who battered down doors and looted house after house.
Also, one of the holders of the "Skav slaves" and captured civilians could be a "Kaban", at least such a prison could or could be located somewhere on the territory of the "Lexos"...
am i able to stack terminal keys from lightkeeper for debtor?
instead of being shot through the head it actually just knocked you out and a group of scavs found your body and brought you back to your hideout and you miraculously healed up from your fatal injuries in 4 minutes
Where is our hideout closest to for all maps
What do i do with elektroniks key when i pay the 40 btcs to mechanics?
i dunno something i guess
If I die with the savior evidence on shoreline, before I make it to terminal, will it disappear permanently?
hi!! welcome to OEFT!
the Elektroniks key is used to access an appt. in streets that has the RFID reader you purchased with those 40 bitcoins. the dialog from mechanic says so.

yep 🙂
can anyone who's finished The Unheard story chapter tell me what the "Document mentioning the warden" descriptor say? Mine just says a bunch of random numbers and letters, then "questNoteText"
See https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Document_mentioning_the_Warden, the wiki has all the items along with English translations of their texts
youll get it back in the Messenger tab just like you get insurance back
'preciate it. I had someone tell me that only happens on terminal but if you die on Shoreline, it's gone
thats new information to me, but i wouldnt question it as that bug seem to be very likely
I always think of the worst case scenarios 
Dawg same
The wiki doesn’t have any of our PMC’s insights on specific docs found in the story tab, which is what I’m missing
did they change the ticket so you have to do the price of independence for savior? I remember if you had EoD/Unheard you didnt need to finish the last quest.
it's weird. Some people don't need it, some do
Technically, if we counted just exact numbers, you shouldn't needs to complete it. But in practice there is a difference between theory and practice
its even more strange because I only had to do Protect the Sky in PvE, but even after discombobulate it didnt pop for PvP
Im scared to do Price of Independence cause im scared that if it doesnt proc the quest fir whatever reason im fucked
I have never heard of someone competing TPoI and not getting the objective for Ticket done, you should be fine
Hi everyone, I need help can anyone tell me which syringes I should take and how many? I’m going to the terminal for the first time and I don’t know what to bring. Can someone tell me? 🫡
well everyone is different with how they play, but i have a suggestion for you.
question. im able to go to terminal and wanna take my buddy, hes still in the gathering intel stage. will he be able to go?
hey guys i need sm1 to help me in terminal i either die on last second or get camped on shoreline
no
best advice for scav extracts for "the ticket"?
I just went into the A.P room for the task "The Unheard", and picked up 3 pieces of paper, but the task didn't complete. Is my game fucked?
Try to get a friend in the raid with you or convince someone to do it
There is also a note in the safe (behind a painting? can't really remember now)
also, make sure to read all of them
gotcha I checked the wiki and it didnt say anything about a paper behind a painting unless you are taking about the safe that requires black keycard
maybe that, I did it a while ago so I don't remember the details. What I do remember is that I missed it too, and had to go back for it in an another raid 
hello guys i 'm about to do the task where i have to kill 5 pmcs for the ticket but i want to know my rep with the btr i have read that if i have the unheard edition i will not need to finish all tasks for BTR can someone please confirm
(PVE)
its really inconsistent, just complete all tasks that give you btr rep up until price of independence
There is no way in the game to view your current rep with the BTR Driver, you unfortunately have to keep track yourself. Make sure to finish all the quests from him that you get and you shouldn't possibly need to complete The Price of Independence. But it's somewhat inconsistent and it's unknown what causes it
hi, i have a problem in the main questline, the ticket, well, its a question really, what files of evidence of terragroup do i have to give to kerman??
just do every single side mission pretty much
as in "story side quests" other than the ticket
do i need intel 3 for debtor ending?
yearp
i forget for which thing exactly but im doing debtor and i was stuck on intel 3 before i could progerss
guys,ive handed in all of the 32 minor and 8 major evidence to kerman for saviour.
I told him i cant find any more,he told me to find more and i agreed to look for more evidence for him.
now the ticket quest it at the "confirm with kerman that all evidenc eis found"
after "negotiation"
is that right,i didnt mess up for the ending?
how long is it between the tutorial mission and then the game starting? (Days, weeks etc?)
Tutorial mission is a single mission then you get thrown into the deep waters of Tarkov
there is a dialouge option u sohuld have with him
when u contact him
I'm having trouble with the story mission where the Lightkeeper is supposed to ask for the 3 blue folders.
I've already completed all the necessary missions and spoken to all the traders, but the option to hand over the 3 Blue Folders and retrieve the briefcase doesn't appear.
once I've done the scav extracts and im on the BTR driver stage for saviour ending am I ok to kill scavs again?
can you be more specific? It is somewhat not clear what your progress is, and the question itself cannot be answered due to lack of prior information
Its fine i figured it out but thank you, once you complete fence tasks do you have a free attempt at escaping or do you need to craft the keycard?
Craft it you must hehe
Hey if anyone was going to buy one doesn't mind dropping an extra 100k on top of the normal price. I've got a Dorm 314 marked key up and I'm basically ready to do terminal and need the cash to buy kits and get ready. My name is Commander_White I'd really appreciate the help raiders 🙏
@tough atlas if you are the lad who bought my 314 key, seriously thank you so much. Finally can get ready to escape, it's been a long journey of 10 years (alpha band gamer here) . Wish me luck Raiders 🫡
On terminal, what prompts the BD armory push?
idk but I just did terminal last night, got very lucky and grabbed armory key from the first RUAF body outside lobby, went inside and unlocked it and BD already pushed in and around the armory without me moving up to the street and aggro'ing them where they spawn
i think i found a new bug. I cannot turn in the harddrive printout to Kerman for my last piece of minor evidence
The major evidencie for Kerman, are they like phisical objects? Cause i ended blue fire yesterday but died to the way out so i don't know if i loss the evidence or if i can get it again
Time
if ur fast enough u can easly get in loot ur shit and start killing them as they rush in
it will be in your handbook > Info Items > Notes > Item #1156 specification
all evidence will be in notes or audio tapes
guys how do i get the 2 big evidences to turn in for kerman ?
is there anything that can make me not able to do savior ending that i need to be aware of
like can i fail something
Refer it here
There's a chart on what to do for each endings
ye i know but is there a thing that iu can fail and then not be able to do savior
so is there anything that i can fail anyone?
Look at the red texts and arrows on the chart
Thats everything that can go wrong
ok so the second red where you decide if you do or do not work with kerman would fail the other line
but on the third (where two are help kerman, and one is not (savior and debtor is help and fallen is not helping)), if i help kerman, do i then still get to choose between those two? and on the 1 right after on savior, it sats that "Make sure to listen to every audiotape and read every note you find for all storys!", will i fail it if i didnt read them all or whats up with that?
so you have progress in story chapters
thats why
Hey I just Finished the tour story quest line and I don’t know if i am supposed to get another story quest after doing it or do other ones just to progress.
Falling skies
And that’s it or there’s more?
There is, in fact, many more story quests
You gotta finish them all to make more progress into the important questline "The Ticket"
All of them? Strange how many story quests are there to be exact or are there specific ones that you need to complete to just get “The Ticket”?
- There are a total of 7 chapter stories, each will net you 1 major evidence, and 32 minor evidences.
- You have to complete these stories to get enough major evidence; a total of 8 majors is required.
- You don't have to complete them in any specific order if you don't need to optimize your raid run to complete as many objectives as possible.
Note: I did the Savior ending, so my knowledge is tied to this ending only.
Thank you, though I have a question, before I completed the tour quest I was on labs with someone and we went to the black keycard area and saw the safe open, I picked up of what seems to be a file is it important later on?
ah. This is where the fun begins. Can you check what the name of that item is? Blue folder? Intel Folder?
I believe it wasn’t a intel or a blue folder that would be valuable, but I remember seeing a text on the bottom right of my screen that was somewhat similar whenever I picked up a note, E.G scientist notes from the labyrinth though I haven’t done that yet.
It might be one of these pieces of evidence:
- Folder with intelligence on Norvinsk region facilities
- TerraGroup Labs master keycard.
The first one it was I believe
Jackpot. It is a piece of evidence that is not required to be in any story chapter to get it. meaning no prior requirement needed to make it spawn.
and that, brother, is one of the minor pieces of evidence.
So it’s important because it’s evidence but not for now since I begun with falling skies and need to look for a g wagon with a flash drive?
Do I have to hand it over later on or is it sort of like a collectable but important to progress?
Yes brother, each story has its own 1 major and some minor pieces of evidence. Only "The Ticket" will require you to submit all majors and minors. You will hand it over to a specific NPC, whom I will not spoil for you 
If you do not hand it over all majors, you cannot progress the most important chapter. "The Ticket"
Who to submit it to, you will know during The Ticket
Not gonna lie the story quests have me excited to do them, I have never played tarkov prior to 1.0 but I am somewhat getting used to it, I thank you for explaining what I should be doing next in the story.
If you need anything else, or the wiki cannot provide you the answer you seek. Pop the question, and we will come to your aid. I'm currently procrastinating my work to take care of your inquiry, brother. XD
I would but that’s what I needed for now, I appreciate you answering my Question about the story quests and stuff, Thanks.

im salty i think i screwed myself out of the savior ending... i pulled the flash drive before hitting the switch on interchange...
Do u need a bunch of bitcoins for story or something I just came back
In term of Savior endings, you will need 40 BTC to progress further in "The Ticket"
You meant the damaged AFV in Woods, Streets, Reserve, etc?
Ty

The one with the really thin turret yeah
yeah thats something I had to be very careful of when doing that part of the quest
it is based on Hired Ops and Contract Wars of Tarkov's lore, USEC PMCs have access to those IFVs and used it during the fall of Tarkov
USEC HAD IFVS AND INFANTRY SUPPORT GUNS?!
the HMGs and AGS, iirc, are not theirs. They were like using the IFV to make extreme pushes, and then got wiped out
the HMGs and AGSs are both russian, a kord and an AGS-17
so BEAR
I meant the stryker MGS as a infantry support gun
USEC, as the name already implied, the yankees insert their penini into things they shouldnt from the start :))))
yeppers
Blue Fire - should i keep Keep the fragment or give it away?
Keep to get achievement
Sell to get 1.5m rouble
what city is the city in the terragroup loading screen tip?
it looks to watery to be tarkov
Looks like New york city
I mean, I think
Nevermind it's fictional it's just Tarkov LOL
Looked very new york now that I think about it
Odd question, why do the cultists accept our sacrifices instead of just breaking into the hideout and killing us/taking all our shit?

right now, lorewise, I cant find any information on how they can get into your hideout and drop stuff.
is story mode good or is it just the same exact thing as the regular pve mode just with some cutscenes in between quests
lol no
its not nearly as cool
the story is a collection of like 8? story tasks which are not too unsimilar from the normal tasks in the game, go here find this talk to this person give me this much money, but there are interesting lore related notes and audio tapes you can find and listen to
the cutscenes are just the beginning before the tutorial, and at the beginning and end of the terminal mission where you can actually escape tarkov
stalker anomaly base ass quests tbh
did you know killa and tagilla are brothers?
So are Kaban and Kollontay IIRC
so what's going on in the city of norvinsk in escape from tarkov
How does pressing the button under the desk at the Eye Of The World change things? I get that it resets the power, does it wipe data so bad guys can’t get it too?
can you approach terminal if you recenlty killed raiders on labs?
or do i need to do a few raids on other maps first
Raiders have nothing to do with RUAF
Was wondering if anyone could help me with terminal by chance get super close everytime
for debtor dog tags do you just take a case full over to lightkeeper??
does anyone know if im able to still get savior if I accidentally picked up the flash drive before pressing the button whilst doing 'They Are Already Here'
Nope
Locked out if I remember
Not for that
is this to labs #screenshots message ?
Does it send new players to labs?
It is how you unlock the location
so you have to go to labs, right?
You don’t have to do anything
You only need to go there if you want to access the location without transiting every time
You don’t have to do it early at all though
You don’t gain anything other than the ability to access the Lab without transiting
You don’t even have to do it at all
is there any info on mountain bunkers on woods? i couldnt find anything. if no, then it would be cool if they added some lore to it or even a new location (same as labirynth - transit entrance) with some new enemies who locked themself at the beginning of conflict
so theyre gone insane
or new cultists of some kind would be cool too
is there any youtube video that covers the story in depth?
any1 else have a glitch where they get 0 xp from raids
I ONLY GET 3 HOURS TO PLAY EVERYDAY BECAUSE I WORK 2 JOBS AND HAVE 4 KIDS. I NOW CAN’T PLAY BECAUSE THE SERVERS ARE NOT WORKING. I WON’T BE ABLE TO PLAY AGAIN UNTIL THURSDAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH MR BUYANOV
Go take care of your kids man
I dont mean to pry but, how come you have 4 kids?
and this channel is for lore/story discussion only. Go ranting on another appropriate channel
Any one think they can do a terminal run with me sumtime soon
anybody having the problem in the unheard quest story where you cannot fight the unknown fragment from the east 305 room ?
why didn't you stop pumping and dumping after the first
what is black divison and why they want me dead
Anyone in here got the Fallen ending?
||they are hired by terragroup to protect their interests, for savior ending its because you compiled the case of major evidence revealing terragroups wrongdoings and are planning to escape tarkov with it to expose and basically ruin their evil plans||
Need 1 for terminal run died next to exfil lol someone protecc
nice loading in mid raid server connection lost and now stuck on loading profile datga
1.0 with shit servers still bro
And for the other endings ?
By the way just re-read the crashed plane's transcript and it shows that Mr.Kerman was the one trying to get the plane back because he knew it was gonna get shot down. But since Mr.Kerman is against TG and that there was Unheard members inside of it why would he save them ?
Where those his insiders friends then ?
Or something among the lines of spies working for Kerman ?
when did contract war happend?
sometime before the events of tarkov
tarkov was only just starting to fall when it happened
although the battlegrounds were all around the world
bewtween usec and bear
and some other PMCs i think
but it was still over TERRAGROUPs secrets i think
but yeh the game takes place just after the EMP happens
so contract wars was just at the beggining of the fall
move it to other channels, please, this is no place to rant
Dead men tell no tales. Either he did that to save innocent lives, or just wanted the unidentified passengers to be able to get back and then have his ppl to "take care" of that guy.
For other endings, you work with other NPCs like Prapor, Lighkeeper or TG themselves, to escape via their own method. And the documents will ofc, not be given to Mr. Kerman, hence, the final outcome will be different.
The unidentified passenger is most likely not a spy of Mr. Kerman, since he did stated that someone called him out of the blues.
Should I do survivor or saviour ending , how long does it take to collect all the major evidence / will it be quicker than saving 300 mil rubles
savior ftw
It's faster to do Savior, 300/500mil takes a long time overall, and the only time gate you'll have is intel 3 / solar 1.
Anyone have a bugged savior playthrough?
I turned in all the evidence 48 hours ago and am still waiting for fence to contact me
Do I need to extract from woods and reserve to fulfill the assignment to the fence, or is one enough? with the ticket questline
think you have to do the coop extract. Smoke them with M18
allready did woods extract, if i kill any scav on another map will it fail on woods?
sorry, i dont now that
okay thanks btw
your welcome
question about who "shadow tagilla" is. I know that tagilla and killa were brothers that worked in the factory we get to murder each other in. and near the medical tents aka near the lab entrance there are a ton of waste containers full of experimental stimulants or gas that drove tagilla and killa mad. Killa left to the mall and tagilla stayed in the factory however here is where im lost.
did tagila wander from factory into shorline and into the labyrinth? did he get info to go there? was he contacted or kidnaped by the cultist group or did the cultist with the help of some terragroup tech somehow drugged up a random dude so much as to turn them into like another "tagilla like" person with the same enhanced aggression and reduction in frontal lobe function?
It kinda feels as if they were impressed with the results of Tagilla and wanted to make their own version of him, either through stimulant treatment and/or through other means such as torture and hypnosis
Do you have high scav rep? I think 4 rep is required to have him contact you
8.9 scav rep
it showed up now though, after 52 hours
Dear lord did you unlock the super secret fence items after that? Holy rep
You might actually be verygoodscav
scav rep isnt super hard to get as long as you dont tank it on accident. I'm sitting on 12.07 scav rep currently. I'd be even higher if i hadnt accidentally killed scavs that looked like pmcs a few times when i was at 8.0 scav rep a few times.
Very felt. Coop and car exits as well as the easy dailies help a lot
can you do terminal if we have different ending>???
yes, doesnt matter
which are the easiest story chapters
Need some help on unheard storyline
First attempt... Go to labs get the two notes. On my first attempt I did this and read them both. On the way out I died. I can see them in my handbook, but the quest has not moved forward.
I loaded back in and they were not there and the next factory step has not loaded either.
Thoughts?
its still the same guy obvi. same ink armor etc. as to how he gets to labyrinth my guess is he just walks there like everyone else but uses a different entrance (possibly the extracts we use). also killa isnt crazy hes just a chill bro that enjoys shopping and morphine
tour, blue fire, fallen skies are probably top 3 easiest
if i remember correctly
Just realised how long it actually going to take me to do all
Going to give up the game
Seriously addictive timesink
I'm rotting away trying to get The Fallen
The tour. Duh, outside of that? Depends
yes...let the partisan shmicky in.
SO is this a spoiler free zone or can i ask a lore one
Sorry Everyone. This is Nikita. The Servers will be back up in 2 hours. Please support us by purchasing arena in the meantime. It is on discount and will help us get better servers!. Thanks again everyone
u can ask lore stuff
thx!
So... Lightkeeper is a Cult warden right? Is it safe to assume that the other cities that blue fire will hit have a warden of sorts as well
Well, based on the evidence and ppl's critical thinking, that seems to be the case. The Warden can be designated well before the main stage is brought forth.
so i saw a trailer for tarkov recently, what are we thinking about that bio corps secret dealings. We thinking aliens maybe??
Corpo on the moon more like
Dang. Did not expect that answer. Cool.
to get the labrys story chapter to unlock for me to work on do i just need to finish mechanic's mission hidden layer?
technically yes but you can get the story chapter without doing the quest, all you gotta do is open the door and walk into the transit and you get the chapter
i might be wrong because i unlocked the chapter by asking kerman where could i find a lead but the wiki seems to back me up
ah ok that's the last story chapter i have left to complete for savior besides the rest of kerman's path and then the final BTR quest to be able to attempt terminal for savior ending. I've been doing all the side missions to try and make sure i have all the high tier crafts/ammo options available before i start trying to stumble and probably die a lot in pve labrys lol
you could run labs with red card and the area where the residential unit card is to find 100 round boxes of 5.56 SSA AP
there is a chance to find 7.62 MAI AP which is a better alternative but it's rarer to find
yea ive got plenty of ammo for runs i think im sitting on about 15k rounds of m995 and ssa ap between the stuff i have unboxed and the two ammo cans filled with unopened 100 round boxes
spent like a month straight only running labs on pve to hoard ammo. also have 1300 rounds of 338 ap lol
i'd say you're pretty much ready for a billion and more runs of labyrinth
we can still do a practice mode run of it right? if i spawn onto shoreline with the practice mode enabled to transit to it and get a feel for it?
it's a really small map, i'd say to check the wiki and study the trap rooms you can spawn in so you can just do the chapter quicker
ah ok
the thing is really short so you can do it in one raid
ah so the map online kinda makes it seem much bigger than it is?
You can’t do practice mode for transits
yeah you should just study the map
alright thats my goal for this weekend then to learn everything i can and go in there and try to do the missions
alrighto
good luck with that
thanks im sure im going to lose a few kits but eh it is what it is
oh yeah also, after you kill tagilla dont let your guard down because killa spawns aswell
i do know that from watching a video a while ago
had a meme of him playing hardbass as he ran up on someone
it's kinda easy in all honesty, my first raid was really easy
oh lo
that killa version can spawn with ppbs so yeah you'd better kill him as soon as possible
could i go in there with an m60 loaded up with m993 and do well or do i need something that fires much faster to deal with tagilla/killa and their friends.
IMO you should run an hk with it's decent rof
considering you have a bajilion SSA AP rounds
You COULD also run .45 RIP given it deals with literally everyone really quickly
ah so my labs loadout with a 45 vector and about 8+ extended mags but instead of 45ap rip
yep
i've seen a streamer do it with three mags of 33 rounders so about 4 should be fine
they kill that fast with shooting legs? damn
hydrashock aswell so
alright sounds good ill get some kits assembled to try and get in there and through it to tackle the main story missions and get outta there
anyone know why i cant add the restored arshavin pass to my inventory? even on the quest item stash page its not showing up in my stash??
is it not showing up in your quest item inventory or your stash
it goes into a special slot
THANK YOU
because it goes to the stash and you put it on a special slot
thank you 🙏
ya welcome
Is anyone else having trouble receiving the verification code?
If I removed the flashdrive below Power on Interchange, before pressing the button under the desk on the story "They are already here" - Am I now locked out of Savior ending, since I didn't get the "ARRS system specifications" major evidence? - It's not in my Handbook.
im afraid yes you are indeed locked out of the savior ending
how long do i need to wait for mechanic to give me the 40 bitcoins task?
YES, SHOULDA READ THE WIKI BUDDY
I grabbed the Batya major evidence early while running other tasks for Lightkeeper and now I can't turn it in to Kerman. Has anyone else experienced this bug before?
how do you grab the batya *Major evidence EARLY
for whatever reason, it literally just spawns in the next raid, completely ignoring the timer
but I found the issue. Negotiating with Kerman is mandatory and I didn't realise that
After speaking with Kerman, I was able to hand in the final piece of evidence
oi oi, for "Fallen ending" after you give Prapor the 1mil dollars, and he asks you to wait. Are we talking 1 hour or 1 week? ;P
Probably a day
Ohjhhhhh
So I just unknowingly went through Kerman after I gave Prapor the case now I thought Kerman was the bad guy in it all and did not like his cloak and dagger and is probably a kid or something. Now he wants me to get the case back from Prapor. Is this normal for the easiest ending or whatever?
So, spoilers are welcome I just want to know if it is helping or hurting. I dont want any negative effects from anything.
ok so for the end of accidental witness the wiki says theres an optional picture that spawn, i got the evidence but the picture isnt there, is there any reason why this could be?
probably doesnt spawn after finishing the chapter but it's not required for the evidence so
are the timers lower than the wiki says?
im waiting to give the 40 btc to mechanic, how long will it be?
if you got level 3 bitcoin farm and 50 gpus in it i think its about 27 hours a bitcoin that was very long and grindy for me your other best bet aswell is try the black keycard office on labs in the safe. depends on the run u can get 1-3 bitcoins in the safe sometimes 0 but not every time thats how i got my bitcoins 🙂
im doing savior, what happens if i havent listened to all audiotapes?
I was talking about the time gate
Been playing this game since 2019, finally escaped (savior)... bravo BSG. Terminal was incredible. Really enjoy how they tied the lore together and delivered such a satisfying yet challenging ending to your PMCs journey.
It's even cooler how the Raid series basically foretold how it would play out for most of us grinding out one last survive on the final map
That was awesome
Is solar power needed for the savior ending? Like do I have to have it?
Hello, how yall got those 138 milion roubles for prapor? Becuase im tired of running labs 24/7
idk i was gonna try to farm cultists to sell marked keys
idk how worth it that is yet
About current event and lore:
If Ref will control Factory, where Tagilla will go? Is there any chance that after arena season Tagilla will try take back control of Factory and we will start work for him, like in some event?
Who’s older Killa or Tagilla?
Killa is older
how long do i have to wait after assement pt3?
Anyone wonder who’s making the streamer items
take a look at the wiki
Key to the Tower (+24hr)
Basement guy
just looking for some clarification, in order to get Savior i just need to turn in the 8 major evidences to proceed and the other minor evidences are purely optional for an achievement correct?
Correct. It is not required to submit all 32 minor pieces of evidence to further progress the story. They are there for the achievement only.
appreciate it, just going to grab the 8 and keep it moving
Good luck, brother. Keep on keeping on.
Any idea why the objective failed ->>
Find a way to disconnect the station from external agents
When I picked up the note, hit the power, restored the backup and grabbed the flash driv
during they are already here
idk if I have done this right lmao
How do I know if I've collected the flash drive in the correct state
even tho the objective failed, did your quest still progress as normal?
you dont need to worry about the failed tick bugs, as ppl had the same thing. Just do it right according to the wiki, and you will be good.
Right, I planted the bug, came back in another raid, found the note on the table, hit the power, hit the backup under the table and collected the USB
I think that should be good,
Yep, at the end of the day, if you can progress your story chapter smoothly, and got the major/minor pieces of evidence, it is fine. forgetabout the failed marks XD
Okie yeah cool, I just wanna make sure im doing it right cause ik if I do this step wrong im locked out of saviour ending lmao
anyone who has beat the story, what map is best for cultist, i have ran like 50 raids on customs and shoreline and havent even seen dead bodies
I guess you already knew the timespan they spawn and where they might likely spawn in Customs (round trip from Crackhouse to Industrial plant) and Shoreline (East and West resort, basement in middle), right?
The only thing left is the luck factor, or try BSG server options for a spin.
You are going in at night right?
Gota confirm
yes i know the times and everything about them, they just do not seem to spawn at all, just wondering what map other people have had luck on
for me, it is woods, around the ritual circle.
Your best bet is night customs around crackhouse area and you can also reset giga fast if they haven't spawned
Other maps they can spawn in are a running simulator
I was in the same situation as you until I started hunting them in shoreline around the ligthouse extract, by the fallen drone, on the road.
I started seeing them in like 2/5 of my raids
im getting sick of the BD ai already, its not that they instant one tap you to the head i dont give a damn about that, its that the first group of them at the armory where you get your shit they just skitter around like roaches and never push you so you end up losing like 15 minutes just waiting for them.
i dedicated this character to go through the entire story just for terminal to be a waste of my fucking time, literally and figuratively.
you get 45 minutes to get to the end but ending losing a quarter of that before you even get to the second squad.
like how do mfs run through this map and have insanely stupid ai.
i can get through this map solo if i had more time but no i lose 20 mf minutes
There is actually a second angle you can hold
I dont have it on hand but its basicly right next to their spawn by armory, you just got to be fast enough to get that angle
How does coming in as a Player Scav work? Do you know someone who knows Fence? Do you put in an anonymous request from your hideout? I asked this in a channel already, but I wanted your guys' insight on it.
Also what do you think would change if your particular USEC (as in your USEC Character) was the one who told the Goons about what's going on in Labs? Would that make particular sense?
Basically, other scavs don’t shoot you. Unless you have negative Loyality Level (LL) or you shoot at a scav, the LL also decreases or increases depending on what you kill, PMC increases, killing scavs or boss/gaurds will decrease you your LL
Boss and guards won’t shoot you once you get to 6.00, and you can command scavs as well. That also is a chance for your commands to not work if your LL is below 6.00
Also have higher LL you can get more extracts, less intermission time and v-ex cost less, or the opposite. Of that, less LL will have more money to spend on v-ex, less extracts, and a max of -6.00 BTR will no longer offer his services to you
The mechanics I understand, but what about from a lore perspective?
Tbh, it’s probably more like you know someone that knows fence, and fence will help you out
like you talk to mechanic and mechanic will reach out to fence, then fence will contact you to help you
You think Fence knows Kerman?
Maybe know of Kerman but I doubt they associate. Fence thrives off of the chaos in Tarkov and his gang associations. Kerman wants to save Tarkov.
But isn't Fence Kermans trusted contact?
Keyword "trusted"
If they didn't associate then I don't think Kerman would lead you to Fence during the savior ending.
after giving prapor rbats toolsets and pcb's i have to wait a few hours before visitning, can i find the flash drive and diary now and then when hes ready to visit in a few hours i give or will the items not be there before i visit him?

ive heard you gat fuck up the ending at the poweplant on interchange, is this true? like the secret room or whatever it is
is this true?
Yes
If you don’t pick up the tape and listen to it before returning
The note on the table will not spawn at all
tape from where? the powerplant?
this? "Investigate ARRS Station 14-4 KORD thoroughly" "Mysterious audio tape" "To fulfill this objective, you have to pick up and listen to the Mysterious audio tape from the safe next to the entrance door. The safe opens automatically after turning on the cooling system." https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/They_Are_Already_Here
does this guys guide show how to get savior? https://mrsouer.com/tutorial/falling_skies not only this but all of hes story ones
@vestal nexus Use the wiki
i am but im doublechecking here bc its so confusing to me
but basically, i need to get this achievement is what im understanding, which is from listening to the audiotape first "AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT"
Wiki is entirely clear

i got ratted after i did it.. am i still good if i just go in and do it all again? or is it cooked now
is there a time limit to acquire all major evidence?
No.
man these co opt extracts are zero fun
does "Obtain an RFID card encryption device" fail after you extract or during the raid?
ive spent more than 30 minutes for sure in these 2 labs runs
its after extracting
i love this game i love this game i love this game
100% wont just quit over some co op extract bs lol
jk fuck this ill wait for some guy to cheese it
best part of tarkov to wait two days to do a quest that is either a cheese or rng
i cant get the crafts for the tapes from moremans phone to show up...WTF
restart the game might help
force an account check
i feel like those Batya quest items spaz out sometimes and ive had to collect a few of them twice
YO i listened to the tape that you need to listen to get the "AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT" achievement, but i later died and now it doesnt spawn next raid
is it raps for my savior or am i gucci?
its been 2 months
What is this for?
2 months? of what?
of still playing everyday and not being able to craft those tapes even though i have the phone in my task inventory
you meant the "When the Light Fades" right?
so you have been playing for 2 months and the craft recipe for 2 tapes from moreman's phone did not show up even once?
if you gonna ask a question in here, it is better to give us a whole context, not just "it did not show up" kinda context
My best advice is to trace back the mission again, check the finer details of this chapter by click on the current task, it will then show the previously completed/failed tasks, do the same with the description log above as well to see if there is the 2 icon for tape craft or not
if within the finer details, there is 2 tape recipes, then it will 100% appear in the workbench's menu
if you miss even 1 thing, you wont be able to craft
when you got that achievement, the story chapter is finished, which means you read the ARRS system specs, then you are on track with the Savior ending
not to be snarky, but ive done everything listed in that story task line in game and on the wiki multiple times, im on pve and ive got the phone read the notes listened to every tape i have found so far multiple times, ive got the phone on bsg servers, locally, with a friend etc took the one i had into a raid in my inventory to die on purpose and get a new one next raid....and nothing works cleared cache deleted logs , integrity checks, uninstalled and reinstalled. for context i have almost 12k hours in tarkov since 2019\2020..the story task line is bugged like most of the story is. it even says i need to craft the tapes for the next step which i cant do
yeah this is why context is important, you are clearly a Tarky vet, so how did you solve this problem? wipe the account? report to BSG support?
it hasnt been solved, i cant craft the tapes
so... you wiped your account to try again or just forgetabout it and do other ending?
but im used to getting bent over and graped by this game
im not wiping my account again ill either wait for a fix or prestige to come to pve and do what ever ending i can until then
it just really aggravating that im stuck here because a shit bugged story task line

good luck to you, fellow PvE brother
no. i need to get the "And the light went out", which i didnt bc the guide is wrong.
i turned on the power thing and i think that cooked it. i read the note, click the button under table, took the drive, and didnt get it
or it might not be wrong, but my game bugged if so
The wiki is wrong? Mhm... not possible, but let me check again
i used this: https://mrsouer.com/tutorial/they_are_already_here
but it says the same as wiki
i did everything it tells to do and didnt get it.. i even asked my buddy that have savior, its hes only ending, and he said what i did was right
what do you think?
i got this, but the thing says that you can get this too "AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT", in this https://mrsouer.com/tutorial/they_are_already_here. Do you have savior without this?
In my case, I escaped with Savior endings, I got the achievement named "When the Light Fades" after reading the ARRS specs
there is no achievement with the name you mentioned in the wiki, and also in my achievement list
so im good then?
yes you are still gucci, brother, dont worry
ok nice
but i have to get every single piece of evidence still right
how many are there total?
correct, all 8 major and 32 minor pieces of evidence
you want a list of them?
certainly, brother:
- How to know which you had and dont have yet: locate your Notebook, on the bottom bar, right corner in the main menu, go Info Item, there will be both tape and book section. You will check the things you already got there. If you dont see any document you need in there, that means you do not get it yet (survive and exfil mostly)
- The list of those 8 majors and 32 minors are here: scroll down to the part where Mr. Kerman asked you to submit those to him.
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/The_Ticket
Check the ones you had in Notebook, and tick the box for easy to-do list
ok but i need to get kerman first than
thanks
im working on fallen skies rn to get ticket
Hidden achievements don't appear in PvE
The wiki is entirely right. Y'all need to stop using thrown together "guides" that were never updated
im on pvp
and btw
it says the same thing on the guide i used and wiki
but ill just ask again to be sure, as long as i have all the 8 majors and 32 minors i should be good? and of follow the spreadsheet thing on reddit showing what to do after ticket
or fallen skies idk what it is
I suggest you follow the guide on Tarkov wiki, not from another guide. The only way I know to know if Im are on track, is to trace back my info items, achievement.
And, make sure to choose Kerman or the path that leads to Kerman and treat Kerman brother the right way.
yeye
The 2 achievement via the link you sent, is not in the game, mind you.
All hail the wiki loli god.
ye mb its bc the guy that made it is russian
so he used google trans
google 🏳️⚧️
Do I need all 32 minor evidence and 8 major for savior? Or only need the 8 major evidence?
8 major is needed
you need both
if you dont have enough minor you get debtor
Wait, fr? What's the threshhold?
I thought you just get an achievement if you do all 32 minor evidences ._.
I don't think you need all of the minor for savior, just by some research
@icy garden @cold wharf you do not need Minor evidence for Savior, it is an optional achievement
You can see that for example on the flowchart that is at the top of this page: https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/The_Ticket
uhm i have the first and last one, how do i get the other ones?, look in screenshots
Any tips on how to do fences task on shoreline to kill 5 PMCs and nothing else?😭
transit to reset the map without having to exfil due to no more PMC spawn. use flashbang/stun grenade for scav disperse
the PMCs are usually spawn around fisherman's bay, and the village near it, not the Sanitar house, mind you.
what ending will i get if i plan on doing every piece of every story?
Savior, but only if you do it "right"
You have to go all in for helping Kerman/lightkeeper if you plan to do it tho
thats not too hard tho right?
or did i just say something stupid
Not really
ive only got like 300 hours so
I mean u can fuck up the story about 4 different ways and get a different ending but if you go all in and don’t doubt Kerman you’ll be fine
This is my first wipe so I’d just say follow the wiki, it’s not that detailed but it does give u the general overview of it
oh i gotcha
i played before 1.0 but this new story stuff caught me a little off gaurd
If I transit back to shoreline would it still count as one raid?
Yes, it is within 1 same raid, your total kill display will list all kills even if you transit more than 10 times.
idk if u watch any content creators, but sheef regularly does full map transits where he hits every map in one raid and it shows all kills and all xp gained through out
I’ll watch them sometimes but yesterday when I was doing price of independence I got 22987 XP on lighthouse but I died to a scav cuz I had to go afk
Killed the goons 3 times
damn there ya go
lowkey the worst way to go is having irl stuff right in the middle of a raid
Having to take the dog out on a Reserve raid 💔
Not to mention WITH Marked room loot
I survived thankfully
Doesn’t matter to me anymore though, I like fighting cultists, so I can easily get keys when I want them.
What do yall think about the teased Black Divison Boss you think well be able to loot his gear and also get access to the BD Gear from Terminal?
I never paid attention, he's black division?
in one of the devlogs it looked like he had the red scorpion patch wich is black divisions logo
Who's the Boss??
where
Nothing beside his looks and his possible affiliation are known as of rght now.
Where was this
Well hes was shown in the ICEbreaker Teaser and this is the devlog clip.
8 major for savior, both for achievement
It's already been answered
Anyone knowing how i can FAIL handing in the evidence to kermin and change from savoiur to survior ending?
For example by failing to properly complete the [[They Are Already Here]] story chapter
on the subject of the savior ending, does failing to extract with the labyrinth notes lock me out of the savior ending? I got them and read them but then died in the raid so its showing up as optional objective locate and obtain the labyrinth report failed
you should be able to go back in raid and get them again ?
...?
But I've got Labrys Research Notes already from a Fence quest.
I didn't even complete Needle in a Haystack yet. :U
So as someone who's worked in a Car Dealership as a Gofer and a Parts Driver, what shit does Kaban get up to at the Lexos Dealership on Streets?
That doesn't have anything to do with the story quests
criminal activity
Hey!
So I visited lightkeeper for bogatyr and handed him the items, but Voevoeda hasn't reached out to me after way more than 24 hours. Is that a bug?
hey guys im currently working on falling skies chapter
and reading on the wiki
in the end i will get a to a part where i have to give prarpor a brief case
but if i decide not doing so
i get a key used for the chapter ticket
if i decide to give the briefcase do i still can progress the ticket chapter
yes
My friend, do you want to burn TerraGroup to the ground? They're not exactly good people.
||If you do, and you want to make it easier on yourself, don't give Prapor the Case.||
question does progressing the ticket get you network provider part 1? i read it does but i am not sure
Progressing the quest line will probably lead to direct access to the Lightkeeper Quest lines
Yes, taking certain choices leads you to Lightkeeper, at which point the game unlocks Network Provider for you. You can consult the chart at https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/The_Ticket#Guide to see where such decisions are
|| giving prapor the case or not doesnt matter if he wants to screw TerraGroup, giving prapor the case and then retrieving it again from LK just gives you an earlier access to LK ||
||... But I want Savior...!||
||Yea, savior can still be achieved that way||
||There is 0 downside from giving it, apart from extra steps by 1 quest to get it back||
||Getting Savior isn't influenced by who do you give the case to, since you don't work with Prapor too much afterwards on the Savior path||
||rick roll||
Are black div some kind of USEC extermination squad?
Yes
Or at least batya does
||there is upsides to it, like if you fail the savior route and going to survivor, prapor doesn't ask at much (300 mil roubles), and if you didn't it's 500mil, do tasks for him within 3 days, and if you fail that he will ask for one of the secure cases||
They are associated with Terragroup if I recall correctly.
Some are former USEC not all.
I don’t believe they are directly tied to USEC besides through terragroup
Im at the part of batya where it just says "inspect moremans body" was i supposed to find a body at the grave in woods? There wasnt one
When i look online there is zero info on this objective
Where did you "look online"? Because the exact objective is described on the wiki page https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Batya
Did I fail Savior? I unknowingly did Simple Side Job for LK is there any redemption for doing Savior?
Simple Side Job / Order from Outside don't interact with the storyline
make a prestige reset history progress?
Yes
when you get to the fence coop part for the ticket can you do it as a scav or do you need to be a pmc?
I need help last story chapter is Batya and i gave all 5 items to LK, voevoda reached out but I only have objectives for the skill levels, i got 4 player klills without dying and nothing have changed, I already had the skill levels when i got the objectives
RFID keycard encryption device - Where do you get it? I looked up a video and it wasnt where it said on the particular video. Why doesn't the Wiki outline how to obtain these items?
The wiki explains everything on the related story chapter pages
You looked at the wrong objective anyway
@stray pond thanks - when you look up just the ticket super unclear how to follow correctly.
does the BTR drivers questline count as one of the major evidences for kerman?
noo but you need to finish the btr questline aligned with btr driver for savior ending
there's a list on [[Major evidence list]]
copy thanks
||There's a difference of objective when doing the|| NEW MAIN STORY QUEST ||for those that turn in the case, and don't||
Where the helicopter oil?
"find an alternative transport to the icebreaker" any ideas?. I am standing at the boat on the shoreline dock but nothing happened
Yeah some of us are stuck here.
ask prapor
he wont say shit
he should though :/
by Axel_tv
do the filters for prapor have to be fir?
i heard someone in a stream say yes fir, but im not there
||BTR is mentioned in the quest description||
what does he define by smuggler territories
oh im sure its just the base in shoreline
Did anyone find the oil? i assume its probably in reserve?
in the side area outside of blackbishop
idk
Yes.
guys for finding the btr driver is it gonna be in a specific map or any map?
streets works too
woods works too, so im sure it doesn't matter at all
is the smuggler camp in interchange the new area?
I think so, descripton says: Head out from ultra, cross the road and the railway and youll run straight into it.
anyone having issues with handing in military power filters?
i have all 3 and i dont get the prompt to hand them in
do they all have to be FIR?
multiple people have said so yeah
whats a good spot to find them?
the woods bunker near the car extract and village. also high tech spawns like the RB-PKPTS room in the reserve bunker near where you activate D-2
ill try reserve, ty
can u talk to btr and prapor about transport to btr or is it only one or the other?
did you talk with prapor?
Is there anyone here that's willing to hop in a voice chat with me to explain some story principles to me?
anyone else looted the document from lighthouse instead of reading it and now stuck?
go too notes and then read it
please tell me they have made a high rate spawn for the power filters?
labrynth also, but more high risk
anyone getting really long load in timers for reserve
