[proud crow]

Also hideout is worth upgrading for sure but a lot of people dont seriously get it going until the flea unlocks

[bold bay]

dorm 110 (2 story) has a safe in it for easy loot

and its generally less hectic than 3 story

[nova yoke]

if a guy buys a guy from a vendor and i kill him in raid can i not sell the gun on f.m?

[stone iron]

you cannot sell things that aren't found in raid

[nova yoke]

i found a mosin off of a guy i kiiled in raid

but i cant sell it on flee market

[open hedge]

im suicidal

[dire monolith]

That guy brought the mosin into the raid so it’s not f.I.r

[nova yoke]

😦

[dire monolith]

Guns that scav drops are fir

[mild wasp]

ayo can any1 get me the key for checking? the prapor quest, still need the bronze pocket watch

[nova yoke]

could anyone explain why this ronin hat costs so much?

is it bcs it covers all of your head?

[open hedge]

because its rare

[nova yoke]

but is it good

im kinda scared to sell it

[open hedge]

no

[nova yoke]

oh then nvm

the 100k price on fm kinda scared me

[edgy plover]

sells for the same to Ragman - and you don't have to pay the fee

[plucky ravine]

Can someone tell me why this isnt good enough for gunsmith part 12

this is the one on the wiki and it looks identical

[woeful spruce]

the grip is the wrong color (yes its stupid)

wait its not

this is interesting now

[open hedge]

this is the correct build

[woeful spruce]

restart game and try again this sometimes helps with gunsmiths

[hollow otter]

got a gp and a gold chain from it thx

[woven fiber]

i did this twice

went to raid drank mayo

waited 5 min

drank water extracted and nothing

[bold bay]

haha awesome!

[soft timber]

are there memory leak issues with tarkov? i've never encountered this before, but my fps was incredibly low and apparently I was using 28gb of ram?

[edgy plover]

wrong grip - you have FG not OD

[soft timber]

game crashed and loaded back in, and now its completely fine

[open hedge]

restart your PC dude

memory leaks happen to everything (but tarlov really likes them)

just restart game or PC

[woven fiber]

is it a bug or what

[soft timber]

yea thats why i was asking if they happened lol

[bold kernel]

your recoil doesnt match

[plucky ravine]

ye it turns out it was the wrong grip lmfao

🧠

[gray edge]

TYSM

[light bough]

Does anyone here have the keys for disease history?

for therapist

[dense pagoda]

when does tarkov become on sale

[woeful spruce]

it is curently

15% on all versions and 20 on the most exensive one

[dense pagoda]

44? for non eod lol

what kinda sale is that

5$?

[plucky ravine]

that doesn’t seem right

[graceful girder]

I have a question. Why do people seem to like the adar over the vpo 136?

[dense pagoda]

frl

[plucky ravine]

5.56

[dense pagoda]

nothing on there sight says theres a sale

and plus 44$

lol like wtf kind of sale is that

[plucky ravine]

ye it doesn’t look like there is a sale

there should be one soon tho

[graceful girder]

So does the 556 round get better as you level up? Because I'm just starting out, and it seems like everyone recommends the 762 ps round

[plucky ravine]

the recoil on 7.62 is ass if u don’t mod it

[dense pagoda]

until you get skier 4 556 is pretty shitty

[plucky ravine]

ram labs with 556 the last 4 times

ran

[hollow otter]

just got another labs card 🤣

[graceful girder]

Basically, I'm running an sks now, but I want to start modding. I'm torn between the vpo136 or the adar. Thoughts?

[pallid kernel]

Shep, what caliber is best for a beginner?

[dense pagoda]

sks is ur better option

[plucky ravine]

depends on what for

[pallid kernel]

im very shit with 762x39 akm

[dense pagoda]

7.62x54

[graceful girder]

I'm really hating the sights on the sks

[dense pagoda]

irons are so nice on sks

[pallid kernel]

op sks + kobra dovetail

[dense pagoda]

but get the op sks

and put a dovetail

[graceful girder]

I don't have access to the op yet

[dense pagoda]

yea u might just need to stick it out till u get better traders

[plucky ravine]

@graceful girder got flea?

[pallid kernel]

doesnt have jaeger but has flea?

[edgy plover]

7.62x39
7.62x54r
5.45
9x19

All good - each has their pros and cons but they'll all help get a feel for power vs recoil. As a beginner you should really just use anything to get a handle on it

[graceful girder]

Nope. I'm brand new.

[plucky ravine]

not paying attention lol

[pallid kernel]

its not going good so far

[graceful girder]

Ok, other consideration. What about the VPO for being able to pull more parts off scav guns?

[edgy plover]

I'm big into 12 gauge and .45 - those are my two favorites. However - shotguns are a bit tricky because you have to know how to use the ammo, and UMPs aren't the easiest to get ahold of

[dense pagoda]

what vpo?

theres like 5

[graceful girder]

136

[dense pagoda]

like shep said run a ump

[pallid kernel]

umps are very easy to get ahold of

[dense pagoda]

shreds armor

[pallid kernel]

ump is like 35k worth of knives

[midnight spade]

Any tip to learning woods?

Im so lost on this map

[atomic otter]

get elevated n try to see the big mountain, that's north

[edgy plover]

Oh are those knives not sold out now? Haven't been keeping up with them - but they were being bought out in seconds last I looked

[pallid kernel]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov

beat me to it

[edgy plover]

If you can buy the knives - UMP is easily the best gun LL1

[midnight spade]

I have that pulled up already

[fervent ermine]

Mine was wrong

[midnight spade]

Its still confusing lol

[pallid kernel]

youll get it after 3-5 raids

at least the basic orientation

and roughly knowing where you are

[edgy plover]

they'll look cluttered at first. Hit "Hide All" on the left-hand toolbar, then scroll down and only toggle on "Extractions" and "Locations". That'll give you a pretty good look - feel free to toggle on some loot options as you go

[pallid kernel]

what if i have the flea?

what guns are good then

[dense pagoda]

rfb

is ur best option

[pallid kernel]

or will i just be shit with any gun anyway

[midnight spade]

I always do that on every map but normally I would know where I am but its just woods since everything is like rocks and trees

[pallid kernel]

why is that?

[dense pagoda]

best bullet

m80 smacks

its cheap

the gun is cheao

[edgy plover]

Eh - now that m80 is hidden behind LL3 the RFB isn't my favorite, not bad, just not the best.

[dense pagoda]

well what lvl do u get pk3?

[graceful girder]

What if you can't buy knives? Best gun other than ump or sks for straight up L1 beginner

[dense pagoda]

the other barter

[pallid kernel]

you can buy knives

[edgy plover]

23

[dense pagoda]

is the way to go

[pure mist]

It’s level 23 not bad for what it does

Seems more appropriate anyways

[pallid kernel]

Can you tell me what i did wrong here?

you are a sherpa after all

[dense pagoda]

being in single fire, not crouching with shitty ak, running out with no info on were to peak

simple

[edgy plover]

You can buy knives - look at Fence. They may be sold out but check back frequently. Other best gun is the SKS if I had to pick, after that maybe the vp0

[pallid kernel]

shitty ak, it costs me like 60-80k to mod it

[dense pagoda]

and aiming for legs

[dense pagoda]

its still going to have alot of recoil

[pure mist]

Idk I would’ve tried to get a better shot when he wasn’t aware of me

[dense pagoda]

all 7.62 aks wil until they are meta

[pallid kernel]

what about this one?

[edgy plover]

You need to practice hipfire way more, it's THE MOST IMPORTANT PvP skill to hone early on. You fired early, he hadn't seen you. You were standing in a doorway instead of leaning out or waiting for him to push further in. You ran out super blind without trying to peek or get an idea of where he was. You didn't have anywhere near enough smoke grenades

[pure mist]

Out geared and should’ve full auto

[dense pagoda]

non ads and crouching wouldve gotten the kill possible

but other than that you were out geared

he had a meta mf

m4

[pallid kernel]

how do i know when someone will see me?

[dense pagoda]

in my opinion, i would def change up ur gun

[pallid kernel]

it was full auto but i was tapping at the start

[dense pagoda]

with shitty ammo, unless your a good shot you need to be hip fire full auto

[pallid kernel]

in what way?

[pure mist]

It was too late, you lost all the advantages of your position

[dense pagoda]

less recoil

[edgy plover]

You just have to look at them and not panic lol - it comes with time. That most recent clip was just bad positioning - when you're not well positioned you can't make up for a gear deficit

[pallid kernel]

762x39 ps isnt that bad right?

[dense pagoda]

i think a ump would change ur life

[dense pagoda]

he was geared

he couldve tanked a shot to the head

[pure mist]

It’s ok rn but it’s honestly not ideal

[pallid kernel]

i guess it makes sense

[pallid kernel]

really, ps goes through class 4

i think

[edgy plover]

Go into offline and hone that hipfire, you have no idea how useful it is

So much less recoil

[pure mist]

Not as well as you want

[dense pagoda]

and also im still learning this myself, but when you hear someone dont sit still hoping they dont hear you. Make noise and get up to a righthand with them

[pallid kernel]

why is it less recoil?

[pure mist]

Less camera recoil

[dense pagoda]

just try swinging corners and hipfire

[edgy plover]

Mostly just less camera/visual recoil

[pallid kernel]

i guess all my best fights were where i was making noise and not being a pussy

[torpid needle]

Just try more silence. Should of let him run past and got him in the back.

[edgy plover]

This is super contextual, sometimes it's good advice but sometimes not

[pure mist]

Yes But you gotta be geared and quick

[dense pagoda]

situational asf but still

[pure mist]

Sometimes it’s bad

[dense pagoda]

most times if u stand still with a shitty angle cus u dont want themtohear you thats what happenes

[oak kindle]

What map has the Rouge camp?

[dense pagoda]

yea me too

[edgy plover]

True - but I think it's the shitty angle that gets you killed, not the standing still

[dense pagoda]

making that initial noise is kinda scary

[pallid kernel]

how tf did u not die there

the first clip

[dense pagoda]

well i mean standing still is what gets u the shitty angle

[bold bay]

Lighthouse

[pallid kernel]

i would have gotten headshot

[dense pagoda]

yk what i mean? like move around dont be scared to get better angles and make noise

[oak kindle]

Ayy appreciate it bro

[edgy plover]

You can get some sit still in very good angles, very situational

[pure mist]

Bc you were in the doorway

Not leaning at all

[dense pagoda]

not in the clip he showed

[pure mist]

Everything is exposed

[dense pagoda]

also

[edgy plover]

Oh I'm not disagreeing with you there, just in general, my point is that sometimes holding still is the right call

[dense pagoda]

@pallid kernel instead of just hoping to tank nades

https://streamable.com/97lhop

[oblique sleet]

im new can anyone help

[open hedge]

people dont expect the prone

[dense pagoda]

when you hear a nade pull and you know there solo, make a move off that nade pin noise

[pure mist]

You know you can cancel grizzly right?

[pallid kernel]

was talking about your first clip

guy could have prefired

[open hedge]

i prefired better

[dense pagoda]

yes

[torpid needle]

So many people die with this game style. You must be real robo cop lol

[pallid kernel]

i havent encountered nades much

[pure mist]

All about timing

[dense pagoda]

wdym?

[pallid kernel]

im usually an easy target to kill, no need for nades

[dense pagoda]

if i know someone is solo and hear that nade pull im sorry but im making a move off that lol

[open hedge]

their loot was pretty mid

[torpid needle]

I kill so many who just run about. making loads of noise

[dense pagoda]

@pallid kernel do you want to try out an ump?

[pallid kernel]

if my loot was so "mid" id be very happy

[dense pagoda]

ill give you one

[pallid kernel]

i tried it once

[pure mist]

Gross loot indeed

[pallid kernel]

and died with it

[dense pagoda]

i think it will suit ur play style more

[proud crow]

I have a question & this might be a dumb one but why run an ergo grip if youre just gonna use a drum

[pallid kernel]

no shots fired

does ump need modding?

[dense pagoda]

rvg isnt ergo rlly

its a cheap general good grip

[proud crow]

I mean the pistol grip

not rvg

[dense pagoda]

oh

[open hedge]

because the stats stay good

[dense pagoda]

why wouldnt he want the extra ergo

[tulip gate]

grip and suppressor if you can get your hands on one

[proud crow]

oh damn

[pallid kernel]

which grip

[proud crow]

Well because drums are a big hit and Ive usually only seen drums on recoil builds

[torpid needle]

Decent fit. heavy and slow also

[dense pagoda]

it gives extra ergo

rather 10 ergo over 0

[pure mist]

Using drum doesn’t mean I want 0 ergo

[tulip gate]

like any grip works because the recoil stays super low but probably a -2 recoil grip

[dense pagoda]

i use drum all the time on akm/rds

[pallid kernel]

50k for a supressor jeez

[dense canopy]

Can you still get intelligence folders as a scav ?

[pallid kernel]

thats with adapter tho

[pallid kernel]

yes

[tulip gate]

there's another suppressor that shouldn't need the adapter

get the threaded barrel

[pure mist]

It’s just roubles

[dense pagoda]

as u get later game 50k is cheap

[dense pagoda]

dont use that one

the supp should just be called "ump oem"

[dense canopy]

Is it just a lower chance since we come after the PMC

[pallid kernel]

47k ump oem

[dense pagoda]

yea

what lvl are you?

[pallid kernel]

its the same chance but someone might take it lmao

[pallid kernel]

15

[dense pagoda]

oh bet you got flea

[bold bay]

pretty much

[dense pagoda]

yea ump oem is the right one

[bold bay]

your player scav will also spawn with one on occasion

[pallid kernel]

so 32k for ump and 47k for oem supressor

oh buddy

i wonder how much ammo costs

[dense pagoda]

cheap asf

[bold bay]

fmj is cheap, ap can craft and buy pretty early from peacekeeper

[dense pagoda]

use normal match fmj

[atomic otter]

gotta spend a lil rubles to make rubles and you're gonna like the suppressed ump that thing rips

[green delta]

Ump front sight cannot be removed so some micro reflexes get blocked by it. I use the oetech sights as they are slightly higher

[pallid kernel]

sure

i guess its cheaper than my current ak

94k in mods

[pure mist]

Oetech

[pallid kernel]

not counting the gun

[green delta]

Lol

[atomic otter]

legally distinct holo sights

[dense pagoda]

all you need is, ump oem, rvg black forgrip, and a eotech sight

[hexed grove]

Am i able to craft while upgrading workbench to lvl 3?

[pure mist]

||with no mag||

[bold bay]

yeah

[dense pagoda]

this is my current build i run for budget

[hexed grove]

thx, wanted to upgrade but crafting nonstop wires

[dense pagoda]

but you can go cheaper or more expensive

[pure mist]

Budget id go tv p90/mp7

[pallid kernel]

25k-30k for a sight

wtf

[dense pagoda]

those are 2 diff types of budget

[potent crater]

Do any beginners need help

[dense pagoda]

do you have this/

[pure mist]

Mp7 rather cheap

[dense pagoda]

ill go mp7 budget labs

if iwanna go really budget ill go with ump

[atomic otter]

havin a nice gun will change up the game for you, dont b afraid

[dense pagoda]

just depends

[pure mist]

Labs budget I go mdr. Mdr my fav gun

[dense pagoda]

frl, its gonna be heaps better then the ak your running

[pallid kernel]

it will change it in a way that ill have to start scraping for money

[atomic otter]

you can get that money back easy scavving once you learn good spots

[dense pagoda]

stop trolling, mdr is literally one of the most expensive guns lmao

[potent crater]

I dont think he is trolling

[pure mist]

Not that expensive

[potent crater]

^^^

[edgy plover]

Feel free to go more budget - use the EKP-Kobra sight, an RK-0, and don't worry about the suppressor. Super cheap gun and it's insane

[pure mist]

Doesn’t required modding much

Suppressor/muzzle + sight and a foregrip

[dense pagoda]

supp is expensive, forgrip is expensive, sight is expensive

[pallid kernel]

when someone kills me, will i get that ump back?

[dense pagoda]

and the gun itself is expensive asf

nothing abt the mdr is budget

[pure mist]

Same sight and foregrip as ump

[potent crater]

Probably not

[dense pagoda]

eqw

[pure mist]

Also loud is budget

[dense pagoda]

wtf are you running

[pallid kernel]

that my friend, is a problem

[dense pagoda]

holo?

[pure mist]

Se5 no more expensive than other grips

[potent crater]

Just run sks bro

[atomic otter]

downside abt the ump is definitely that it folds to 2x2 unlike trash ak/sks

[pure mist]

Ofc lol

[edgy plover]

UMPs are super small - people take them. But you won't lose it as much

[dense pagoda]

i thought u were running something like this

[pallid kernel]

im sick of it ill be honest

its good tho

[dense pagoda]

i mean ig if ur running it loud with a holo its not that bad

[pure mist]

I was talking budget

[dense pagoda]

but 150k for the gun is expensive

[potent crater]

What level are you? At 23 run rfb

[dense pagoda]

imo if im buying a mdr im gonna make it nice

its alot of usd

1600

[pallid kernel]

So, something like this?

[pure mist]

cheaper tho if you actually buy diaries etc

[dense pagoda]

yea

i would run a diff sight but yes that looks good

[edgy plover]

I would lose the suppressor if you want to go budget - that thing costs as much as the gun and all other attachments combined

[pallid kernel]

is threaded barrel worth the ridiculous 20k

[dense pagoda]

no

just run normal barrel with ump oem

[pallid kernel]

i could get a blue laser, that a good idea?

[dense pagoda]

yes

laser is very good

[edgy plover]

Great for practicing hipfire, but don't rely on it too much - use it with discretion as it can give you away

[dense pagoda]

helps with hip fire spread

[pallid kernel]

right side or left side laser?

when looking for pmc pov

[dense pagoda]

i do left

[open hedge]

Right side based

[edgy plover]

I'm a right-sider, but it's preference

[dense pagoda]

right side feels awkard

[pure mist]

@dense pagoda two builds i use

[pallid kernel]

i have seen people do both

[dense pagoda]

yea this one is nice

i dont like that gun loud

[pure mist]

im fine with the gun either way lol

[atomic otter]

right side tac devices can take up less room on the screen which is kinda nice but the ump is smol

[dense pagoda]

yea but i feel like the lazer looks odds coming out right

[edgy plover]

Right takes up less screen space and it's more in line with a right-handed shooter (so Point-of-aim between barrel and laser are parallel and don't intersect as obviously)

[pallid kernel]

my akm preset has it on the right

because it cant go left

idk how i feel about it

its whatever i guess

ill try left side on ump

[atomic otter]

i like running flashlights on the right side incase it throws people off who're used to average left side enjoyers

also take your new gear and test it in an offline raid and get a basic feel for it, especially if youre rockin somethin new and pricey

[kindred storm]

god fucking damn it what the fuck is wrong with me i keep holding back from shooting people

[pallid kernel]

idk there is a point for both styles i think

[pallid kernel]

everything is pricey for me

[coral turtle]

How much damage does LPS do now ..... ???? Battlebuddy and eftmonster show 81.

[pallid kernel]

thats why im not broke like some other newbies

[atomic otter]

all the more reason to get some practice with the low level gucci shit

[pallid kernel]

isnt there a ballistics chart on wiki

for every single bullet

[coral turtle]

Every chart shows 81

But I just got onetapped through a lvl3 Zhuk

[dense pagoda]

also

@pallid kernel try to stay away fron customs

actually i shouldnt tell you

if ulike the map run it

but for me i dont go there unless im tasking

have you tried reserve?

[atomic otter]

its good to learn cuz you have a bunch of low lvl tasks, figure out how to not die on customs v important

sometimes what you learn abt that map is that you never had a chance though

[coral turtle]

Customs sucks xD

[dense pagoda]

yea frl

pvp isnt fun there

loot isnt good there

its just all around shitty for me

if i want the same feeling but better i go reserve

more loot, better pvp in bunkers

[coral turtle]

^^^^^^

[atomic otter]

ive had some ridiculous luck recently running night customs scavs, found a gpu on 2 consecutive runs

i think that was just incredible luck though? rolling through unlooted crackhouse at 15mins in raid

[pallid kernel]

i have not

also i have shit to do on customs

[dense pagoda]

yea i know

you will for a while

[pallid kernel]

the fat bastard prapor needs me to find stuff in the big red

cant go further without it

[dense pagoda]

yea do ur tasks

will help in the long run

[pallid kernel]

i dont wanna be stuck at ll1 traders

also i need a gas analyzer

[dense pagoda]

interchange

[pallid kernel]

i could craft one but that shit costs like 200k in materials

and a ton of fuel

[pallid kernel]

havent had luck with interchange scav runs so far

[dense pagoda]

crafting is gonna be ur best friend for tasks

ice cream cones ur gonna want to craft ur 60s

[topaz forge]

the oli shelves on interchange are great for gasans

[pallid kernel]

im gonna have to do a few more raids

i always hit up oli

found a bunch of kektapes tho

people leave them for some reason

[dense pagoda]

tech light and techxo

[pallid kernel]

what

[topaz forge]

rasmussen and german as well

[dense pagoda]

those are the 2 main tech stores

and ras syea

[pallid kernel]

huh

[topaz forge]

theyre store names in the mall

[dense pagoda]

rass*

[pallid kernel]

map doesnt say where they are

as far as i know

ill check

[dense pagoda]

right near oli

go out the main way of oli, you will see a furniture store.

right across from that is thexo

texho

then if you go up the escalator clostest to oli you will see techlight

[pallid kernel]

found it on the map

ty

[dense pagoda]

yw

interchange is the goat

my 3 main maps are labs interchange reserve

[dense pagoda]

mayb a bit of nighttime lighthouse

[atomic otter]

people say to run factory scavs but interchange scav runs are exciting and i always find something handy

[dense pagoda]

just a lazy factor

earlw ipe iwas abusing my scav on interchange

[potent crater]

Do any beginners need help?

[dense pagoda]

now i only scav factoryt really

its quick

takes like 5 min

[atomic otter]

ive been getting clapped trying to do delivery from the past

[dense pagoda]

go with 5 man from this discord

let them be ur meat shield

and also there canonly be 1 player in the lobby

[potent crater]

And eith near max rep and intel center i get 8 min timer so imo no reason to run scav when its up every time on ic or reserve

[dense canopy]

What are GP coins for ?

[potent crater]

Selling

And some bartere

[dense canopy]

I just got a gold watch and 2 of those coins

[copper junco]

i just downloaded the game, and im wondering if anyone is willing to help me go through the basic stuff

[finite temple]

I can be of service

[potent crater]

Free money

Any new players need help

[pure mist]

im new i need help

[rigid light]

recovered my stuff as a scav

[potent crater]

[rigid light]

too bad i didn't get to take my own tag

[potent crater]

And it would be fir

Would have been so cool

[rigid light]

how do you explain selling something like that to a trader
"oh yeah here is my information on how i died"

[atomic otter]

how do yall go about crossing over the river from big red side on customs? ive had too many fucked up encounters and its startin to get in my head

[spiral zodiac]

gather stamina on the bank, then run the nearest land bridge to the pipes beneath roadblock

first take something scoped to scan the opposite bank/tank/bridge to the left to catch snipers

[compact surge]

can you find cultists in offline raids?

[spiral zodiac]

stop to rest in the red shipping container if need be

[wraith flame]

Yo where's the thing that supplier wants in customs

the one I get the key for

From the messenger or whatever

[bold kernel]

Whats the quest called.

[wraith flame]

Hold on

Oh it's skier not supplier

Extortionist

[bold kernel]

So you need the Unknown Key. And you open the trailer right here

The small building to the right of Warehouse 4, above Old gas station.

[wraith flame]

Right

Thanks

[bold kernel]

The file is somewhere on the ground inside.

[wraith flame]

By the way

Can I keep the key in the quest slot

And does it disappear if I die

[bold kernel]

You can't put keys in the quest slot.

[wraith flame]

Aw

Secure container?

[bold kernel]

Yes

[wraith flame]

Should be fine then

[bold kernel]

If you somehow lose the key, it's a guaranteed spawn on the dead scav in the bush at the wall by crack house

near RUAF roadblock extraction

[wraith flame]

That's where I'm going rn

to get it

[bold kernel]

Okay

Good luck

[steel ginkgo]

can someone help me with tasks

[spiral zodiac]

i'm still trying to run that task milko

customs solo is a deathwish this wipe

[austere hound]

Game is kinda designed to be brutal for solos in general tbf

[safe horizon]

Solo chads tho

[wraith flame]

I haven't run into many players

I do go at night a lot tho

Elimination and extraction quests are extra easy

Just a makarov at 2 AM

[fringe gate]

anyone want to run customs? newish to the game

[atomic otter]

i find that the nighttime customs chads gravitate to dorms, managed to get bronze pocketwatch and extortionist done in one raid after hearing a bunch of shooting at dorms

[whole thistle]

you can look up any quest name and find a wiki page with exactly what you need btw

[torn copper]

which armor should i get instead of this lol

[whole thistle]

6b3tm

[spiral zodiac]

oh i know. it's a drag. I'm still struggling with day-one tasks because i'm always solo

[wraith flame]

lmao

guys

I just killed a night vision scav with my 155

Fucking hell

night vision chad*

How do I turn the NV off

[whole thistle]

N

[wraith flame]

nice

I gotta make it outta here alive holy shit

[loud jetty]

How much is newish

[wraith flame]

profit?

lol

[limpid wadi]

So... I'm still trying to learn the game, solo.
My survival rate as PMC is sub 20%. 😅

I just spent 10 minutes trying to open a second floor door using two first floor keys

[whole thistle]

not a whole lot

[wraith flame]

Might not be a lot for you

gimme an estimate

[whole thistle]

pro tip
if the door doesnt open the first time, it will not open

[whole thistle]

like 80k

[loud jetty]

Solo tarkov is death

[limpid wadi]

There are literal room numbers next to the doors

and I just blindsided it

Also, yes. Death

[loud jetty]

Dorms?

[dire folio]

Not really

[wraith flame]

wha

NV and all this for 80k

no way

[whole thistle]

i meant the loot

[wraith flame]

I came in with the 155

[whole thistle]

that gear is not worth selling

[wraith flame]

lol

[dire folio]

Thermite

[loud jetty]

This is the beginners-assistance channel, so yes, it is.

[whole thistle]

its the perfect level of mid tier where its good to use and worthless to traders

[wraith flame]

Oh

Well if I use it imma die

[whole thistle]

you will die no matter what you use

nobody has a 100% winrate

better gear just makes you get more raids out before you die

[wraith flame]

Fair

Theoretically

If I were to sell the weapon and everything else

[dire folio]

The zsh12m covers ears right?

[proven token]

What would a good survival percentage for a new player be?

[whole thistle]

how long have you been playing

[dire folio]

20

[atomic otter]

you can inspect armor/helmets and look at armor areas to see what's covered

[proven token]

~10~ hours in game

[whole thistle]

even like 10% is fine at that point lol

[dire folio]

I cant play rn so

[atomic otter]

yeah it does cover ears

[dire folio]

Okay weird

I got murdered in the ears with it and there was no damage to the helmet or face shield

[proven token]

Ok, good to know I’m not just bad at the game

[spiral zodiac]

i spend more time running than fighting tbh

also why i'm still only 8

[shy haven]

What I need to do is actually go into raids.

I end up putting myself off going into one cause I don't know the maps for shit.

[dire folio]

Gotta do tasks

[spiral zodiac]

gotta complete* tasks

i try them all the time.

[dire folio]

Do you have jaeger

[spiral zodiac]

i've memorized woods in the dark trying to do the dumb convoy run and i still end up dying

[loud jetty]

Grind, do tasks, kills (headshot kills give a healthy bonus)

[spiral zodiac]

yeah i had jaeger day 1

[dire folio]

Good

[dire folio]

Its easier to just get a good spawn and run there i find

[spiral zodiac]

i run with a pistol and no gear so my stamina has the best chance to keep me moving

[dire folio]

Btw theres 3 m4 spawns there

At the usec camp

[spiral zodiac]

I go around the bottom of the rock to the right hand side. it triggers the task alert without having to engage

[prisma oriole]

i need help on my stash, i have no idea what is good and what not

[dire folio]

Show

[spiral zodiac]

there's a lot of loot that i run past because i'm just trying to get the task done

[dire folio]

Okay, it probably wouldnt hurt to grab some of the loot though

Suppressors

[spiral zodiac]

then straight down the hill between the lakes to the convoy

[dire folio]

Could just run to the bridge exit

[spiral zodiac]

almost never have it

[dire folio]

Isnt it a 100% extract

[spiral zodiac]

usually have to get down to outskirts or ruaf

[dire folio]

Do you have zb014 key

[spiral zodiac]

not yet

[dire folio]

Okay

[spiral zodiac]

need it to do the jaeger food run

i think

[dire folio]

You dont

[spiral zodiac]

oh, food goes in the corner?

[dire folio]

Yeah

[spiral zodiac]

ah

[dire folio]

Youll need it to help for a prapor ques though

60 rnd 545 mags spawn in there

[spiral zodiac]

yeah, i did that at the end of last wipe

like.. a week before i found out there was a wipe

[dire folio]

Funky

[spiral zodiac]

i'm new new. max lvl was like 16

[dire folio]

Mine was like 12 before this wipe

I never had time to play

[spiral zodiac]

i have time but it's always solo so i get burned out real quick on the main storyline

[west plover]

Advice on where to run for farming keys like zb013 scav fortress basement key? And best available PvP gear for lvl 1 so I don't get murdered every time? Running out of the gear I started with

[spiral zodiac]

that is the factory key

[whole thistle]

at level 1 you can get a single level 3 armor per ragman reset and the best thing you can get is 7.62 ps lol

[spiral zodiac]

but you need to turn the power on to use that exit

at lvl 12 you'll get the 'scout' quest. the reward is the factory key. or you can have a friend buy one and then kill them in raid and take it

[whole thistle]

you cant give keys to friends

not ones that you bought at least

[west plover]

Duuude. Is the scout quest new? Awesome that you can be awarded the key now

[whole thistle]

not new

[spiral zodiac]

i looked at the wiki

[whole thistle]

also gives you a bitcoin

[west plover]

I'm clearly rusty lol. Is not being able to give keys to friends an anti world trading thing?

[whole thistle]

oh nah they changed it

no bitcoin anymore

only the key

[whole thistle]

yeah

[west plover]

Its cool, didn't bitcoin get sorta nerfed last wipe? Idr what happened but it seemed less good

Also any advice on how to play this in moderation? Between this and hunt showdown, I find it hard to get off lol

[spiral zodiac]

ohhh. the FIR keys don't delete. non-FIR keys disappear on death

if i'm understanding that right

[atomic otter]

10 mile bike ride when you die

[whole thistle]

yes

[whole thistle]

do things in real life

[atomic otter]

anti tilt and also time to think bout what you learned and get fresh for ya next raid

[spiral zodiac]

does factory key spawn in raid anywhere? idk if i've ever noticed or found one

[whole thistle]

jackets

[atomic otter]

do jacket + duffel bag runs and check scavs

[whole thistle]

theres also a specific spawn for it under the sleeping scav in boiler on customs but i have literally never seen it there

[atomic otter]

filing cabinets too. i havent seen a single key in the world static spawns

[whole thistle]

the set spawns are propaganda

they dont exist

[spiral zodiac]

which building is boiler?

[whole thistle]

the one with the weapon boxes on top of the big metal structures

the flash drive van is outside of it

right next to the zb12 jump over

[spiral zodiac]

ahh

thanks

[atomic otter]

its called warehouse 7 on the map

boiler has a better ring to it tho

[pure mist]

i call it dead scav

bc theres a dead scav in it

[whole thistle]

my friend said "hes just sleeping" once so we will forever refer to that building as sleeping scav

[pure mist]

loot the sleeping scav?

[spiral zodiac]

just tried to run woods again. instead of sneaking the usec camp i stopped in to loot it like @dire folio said. got one box opened and head/eyes 5 seconds later.

at least it freed up space in my inv i guess.

[atomic otter]

what was the time in raid? could be a good idea when youre hitting hotspots like that to scamper around a bit and check for people

[ancient tartan]

Any tips on how to optimize the game i don’t have bad specs but tarkov is the only game that runs like ass

[atomic otter]

i've had a bad time at usec camp unless its like <20 mins left or i get a good spawn

[spiral zodiac]

i spawned at 14

[spiral zodiac]

did you go as deep as changing your nvidia settings or just the in-game stuff

[atomic otter]

theres several spawns that are way closer than zb14

[spiral zodiac]

oh for sure, but i'm just saying i wasn't at like ruaf

[ancient tartan]

Just in game so far

[atomic otter]

i think the play there would be to kick it in a bush, drink some pineapple juice and listen for shots

[spiral zodiac]

i'll send ya a youtube link i used. it's helpful if you want it

[torn copper]

that's a rig, i meant just armor

[torn copper]

like to go with alpha rig

[distant flame]

can some one open marked room on customs i need to mark it

[whole thistle]

it is an armored rig

[whole thistle]

if you want anything above level 3 for an armor on its own it will cost a ton

you have to use rigs

[distant flame]

i just use the 3bt rig from ragman lvl 2

its solid

rig and has ok space

[safe horizon]

When I'm playing as a scav, how do I know the difference between other scavs and players?

[buoyant crane]

experience

not the answer you want but there is no button to tell you

[safe horizon]

unlucky

[distant flame]

mostly how they move

[safe horizon]

guess my scav brothers will get shot

[buoyant crane]

AI can be figured out usually by watching how they are walking and interacting

[buoyant crane]

opposite, you will shoot nobody

ruining your scav karma means you dont get to scav anymore

[distant flame]

ai also talk and yell alot

[buoyant crane]

can only shoot when you're REALLY sure

[whole thistle]

when youre playing scav dont shoot anyone unless they shoot you

[bold kernel]

Other scavs rarely have the PMC darkish green pants/have some sort of bright color on..

[atomic otter]

look at their shoes, clothes under gear, scavs will be wearing street clothes and sneakers a lot of the time, i try not to blast anyone as scav unless they give me a reason

[buoyant crane]

the way scavs tell each other they're scavs rn is to mumble

hit F1 and your guy does a voice line

as a scav its very distinct

[limpid wadi]

also, the wiggle

[buoyant crane]

so if you meet somebody like, around a wall and you havent seen them yet, hit F1 and if they do it back you know

[buoyant crane]

thats outdated 😛

[ruby adder]

One thing to notice, when AI run. Their weapon stays straight most of the time. Only return fire on people you know are other PScavs or PMCs. Aim to play passively on scav

[whole thistle]

wiggle has fallen out of the meta

[ruby adder]

Never trust the wiggle 😄

[whole thistle]

leaning is super slow and voip is easier

[buoyant crane]

voip is not easier because everybody lies

just hit F1 and if they don't F1 back shoot them, works 9/10 times

[bold kernel]

make them press f1 and if they don't absolutely shoot them, the moment you hear movement. Say "Player scav?"

Then follow up with "Prove it"

[ruby adder]

To be fair, voip can save your ass. The line of communication from round a corner can really change the out come

You can consider, but you don't trust voip though

[buoyant crane]

nah VOIP is used too often as a trick, its so blatant

I don't bother using it to try to communicate for real, just to yell obscenities and jokes

[bold kernel]

I used VOIP to ask for them to F1 if they don't F1 then in my mind I decide it's fair game.

[buoyant crane]

also if you hit a scav, always finish them, chinese insurance style or whatever

leaving them alive means they kill you no consequences

[ruby adder]

It depends on the person you encounter tbh. Me and a buddy got a guy cornered in D2 power. Just chatting away, he then informed us of someone sneaking up along the side. Dealt with him and carried on talking 😄

[ocean lion]

Need help with pharmacist 1 and farming 3</3

[buoyant crane]

you can have conversations but they're pointless, as soon as you make line of sight a firefight will happen 19 out of 20 times

either a two way firefight or you get head eye'd cause you're gullible

[granite dagger]

Anyone know when the airdrop comes after firing a red flare?

I’ve been eating for a few mins

Wating

[shy lance]

u in c1 team

[granite dagger]

Yeah

[shy lance]

thats cool to see

[granite dagger]

Are u grinding?

To be in c1?

[shy lance]

nah i just know cold

[granite dagger]

Ahhh okok

[shy lance]

cold still ur captain

?

because he was insane on warzone

[granite dagger]

Nah not for warzone

He’s a tarkov demon now

I’ve been filling his shoes on the comp side of things but we have a different captain now

[shy lance]

yeah i played tarkov with him when he was a newbie

[ocean lion]

Need help with pharmacist 1 and farming 3</3

[granite dagger]

Do yk when the red flair drops the airdrop

[shy lance]

you throw the flare in the air and wait for the plane

it should happen straight away

[somber fossil]

hello

[granite dagger]

Nah it hasn’t yet

[shy lance]

did you throw it on the ground

[granite dagger]

Kinda I did it in middle of the screen if that makes sense

[shy lance]

that could be the reason idk

[median frigate]

sorry just came back from out of country played for two days, did they change rogue ai, they always seem to hate my scav now, or is it because my rep is low

[long salmon]

hey guys, i was on a scav in factory and i got the pop up "found and transfer complete" but nothing is actually completed nor did i have any quests or side quests? is this a bug?

[woeful spruce]

scav rep has nothing to do with rogue behaviour

[median frigate]

didnt think so, isnt it x ammount of raids not fucking with them and will be back to passive unless they are aggro from soneone else

[bold kernel]

MM mostly likely a scav had recently made that Rogue go into what I call "Reposition and Kill" Mode

That's when a Rogue flags on a Scav or USEC, repositions and looks at one viewing angle, if you enter that angle and were the type of thing that triggered the movement. He will either dome you immediately or botch about 3 shots then dome you.

[shy haven]

About to go into my first raid as a scav (reserve), any tips?

[bold kernel]

Scav alone weak, Scav together.. strong.

Lame

[shy haven]

no fucking clue what I'm doing or what to look for but why not.

[lucid goblet]

Learn a loot route and get good at it. YouTube can help also.

[median frigate]

yes ceasar

[bold kernel]

I always wander around aimlessly until I loot something I either want or need.

I find it more adventurous that way.

[shy haven]

pestily really wasn't lying about the queue times

[limpid wadi]

Does anyone have tips for surviving quest runs on customs? I get clapped every time I enter dorms / crack house

[long depot]

i have a hand guard and a mulittool but it still keeps saying "require multitool to attach"

[bold kernel]

There's a hand guard that requires a multitool to attach?

[long depot]

no in-raid.

ran to an armory to test.

[bold kernel]

Remove the other hand-guard first maybe?

[long depot]

cant. gotta switch it i think

i think its a new feature so maybe its bugged.

[bold kernel]

If the other one can't come off- that's the problem

It's probably a bugged planned feature

as in you probably aren't even supposed to see it yet lol

[long depot]

yeah i hadnt noticed it until this wipe

[bold kernel]

Yep sounds like we confirmed it

[long depot]

usually it just says like "cant do this in-raid"

lmao

[bold kernel]

Yeah, neat.

[warm socket]

is soap worth keeping or crafting stuff with it? im cleaning up my junk boxes and I have alot of tubes and soap. (no where close to starting bitcoin yet, but i could hold onto 4 tubes for booze. )

[valid star]

Very new to the game (lvl 2), but was wondering if there is any way to cheaply add a new scope onto the m4? Got a couple of them, but I really dislike the default scope

[long depot]

buy a trader scope

[shy haven]

well, I survived my first scav run after scaring myself (twice) by closing crates I opened. I'm gonna guess everything I picked up is complete trash?

[valid star]

How can I see which ones are compatible?

[long depot]

EKO rounds are good early wipe, nades are good, keep module 3 for quest. suppresors always sell for good money

[dire folio]

Good grenade

[median frigate]

@shy haven nuts hexagon tape, guns are okay and that white armor for a quest if you havnt done it yet

[shy haven]

I'm level 2 so I definitely haven't done it

[median frigate]

ya early game quest requires 1 and a toz i think

[long depot]

^

first skier quest.

[warm socket]

i guess the possible price from soap to bad/BA is worth it. just dont have any TP for the 6B5.

[shy haven]

god im sweating bullets and I didn't even see anyone 🤣

[long depot]

tarkov keeps you constantly on edge lol

[shy haven]

The rain really didn't help lol

[long depot]

especially when you hear a footstep and then dont hear them again

[bold kernel]

TP is always only like 6k on the flea

If I remember correctly that soap tp barter to Jaegar level 2 is actually pretty decent

[shy haven]

I'm still kicking myself that I thought me closing crates were other people

[long depot]

haha, its freaked me a few times too TBF

[warm socket]

i think that armored rig goes for on avager, 35/40k on the flea? so yeah ill have to remember to pick up TP if i see some out scaving

[bold kernel]

Yeah not a bad little flip for TP/Soap

[shy haven]

I just realised I spawned in on that scav run with only the 4 bullets in my mosin and the completely wrong ammo type

[long depot]

you shouldn't have,

You sure XD?

[shy haven]

nevermind I forgot I left the items in the vest and backpack

[dire folio]

Sometimes i think they are footsteps lol

[warm socket]

are there at "junk" items that are just not worth keeping around? I know propane is if I dont have the room for it, though I like to barter for the ^b23-1

[long depot]

XD

[bold kernel]

PROPANE IS GREAT

2 Propane + 2 Fuel Con trades for fat fuel tank from Prapor.

[long depot]

propane red rebel barter :

[bold kernel]

Jesus

[warm socket]

MAN, my friend have either gaslit me or are just...dumb

[bold kernel]

lol

[long depot]

why?

[bold kernel]

Propane and Fuel con's are super good to keep

[warm socket]

they told me not to keep/pick up propane

[long depot]

fuel con is amazing

lmfao

[bold kernel]

He just wanted free fuel

[long depot]

ong

[warm socket]

I MEAN, i wouldnt put it past him

[long depot]

XD

[median frigate]

propane is kinda common if find other things per slot its not that worth but meh

[bold kernel]

Propane is always worth

Especially as fuel becomes more and more pricey.

Fuel can get up to 160k

[long depot]

propane is super common on interchange, depends what you have to swap for, propane is good but a 4 slot so just think slot per rouble

i had a bag full of fuel one raid, seems to get rarer the later the wipe

[bold kernel]

It does.

But propane and fuel con's are always the same chance.

[dire folio]

My dog is trying to steal my coffee

[bold kernel]

Why

[dire folio]

Idkk

[bold kernel]

Give him some

[dire folio]

No

She already stole some

By putting her whole face in the cup

[bold kernel]

Yum

I've had two cups today

about to go home finally

[wraith flame]

Where's the dead messenger at customs

for skier

Im at the RUAF Roadblock

cant see em

[dire folio]

Bush

[dire folio]

Behind the storage shacks

[bold kernel]

Man's is just loving that bush

[wraith flame]

The hell

[dire folio]

Yeah lol

[wraith flame]

Its night and raining

im fucked

[dire folio]

Eh

[wraith flame]

OH WAIT

I might see what you're talking about

[dire folio]

On the way to crackhouse

The whole in the wall

[wraith flame]

Found em

[dire folio]

Nicee

Now put it in your prison wallet and run

[wraith flame]

I could also like

unlock the thing

and finish my quest

[dire folio]

Or that

Yeah

[wraith flame]

Got 30 mins

[dire folio]

Then after that run

[wraith flame]

Oh wait I got 0 energy somehow

[dire folio]

Eat

[wraith flame]

I dont bring food into raids

Im getting outta here

[main sand]

Hey, why didnt I get the kill here? Did I miss? Did his helmet saved him? Was my distance set-up (100) wrong and I overshot him? I kinda expected him lie down, not run away... Shot with Remington Model 700 with 7.62x51mm BCP FMJ.. Should have penetration 31 and 88 dmg. Did he really have lvl 4 helmet that I didnt pen? :(

[brave finch]

I had to bring food into raids until like level 5-6 lol now my stamina is good enough

[shy haven]

I'm gonna take that you mean the VOG cause of the short fuse?

[topaz forge]

im not sure how bcp fmj works because i dont use it ever, but with m80, m62, m61, and m993, you dont need to zero very often because there is not much drop, you might have hit the shot if you were zeroed for the default 50 instead

[dire monolith]

What was the durability of the gun

[main sand]

Does that play a role?

[main sand]

yea, looking back at the footage it seems the moment I fired I was aiming rather on the top of his head, maybe I really did overshoot him by an inch

[dire monolith]

I think it’s something called moa or something like that where the lower the durability the lower the chance it hits the crosshair

[flat arrow]

whats the best map for money runs this wipe?

[dire monolith]

I had a similar thing with the m700 but my shot was like over 300m on the sniper scav and it just wouldn’t hit and it had low durability

[main sand]

does durability update the stat shown to me? can I take the shown 2.27 MOA as a fact?

Found this, if the moa is 2.5, and I was way less than 300 meteters..... should still hit, no?

[dire monolith]

Not 100% sure but I do think durability plays a role

[topaz forge]

durability does play a role, your moa will get worse the more you use the gun

[shy haven]

I remember hearing about durability affecting shit in some video but cant remember what was said.

[topaz forge]

the moa wasnt a factor for that shot, it was just too high because of the zeroing

[main sand]

Seems like I was really at 100 M

[topaz forge]

yea, .308 is a really accurate caliber, theres no need to zero for 100 meter shots

[rigid light]

Question, does the character still reload SKS from the top if you have a removable 20 round magazine

[topaz forge]

honestly, id recommend learning to aim high instead of zeroing, learn how high you need to aim for certain bullets

[rigid light]

Only one, i mean

[topaz forge]

only if you dont have another mag on you

[rigid light]

Splendid

Good to know

[topaz forge]

you can carry around bullets in your pockets and a couple mags in your rig, and do the r + scroll wheel thing to pick between top load and mags as well

[rigid light]

Also why can OP SKS use the dovetail mount but not the standard SKS

[topaz forge]

thats just the way it is ¯_(ツ)_/¯

probably works that way irl

[rigid light]

It is what it is

[main sand]

I understand the endgoal, but Im a newbie so estimating the distance and zeroing corectly is much more accesible atm.
Im just surprised as the actual distance seem to be rather exact 100m, I zeroed for 100, and still no ded body :( xD

[compact wharf]

I plan on using bitcoin farm and i have 6 fir GPU's, is it best to sell them right now then rebuy later or to just keep the fir GPU's until i get my BC farm built?

[topaz forge]

yea, zeroing isnt the same for every bullet, since they all have different ballistics, zeroing for 100 with .308 vs zeroing for 100 with 7.62x39 etc will be very different

[topaz forge]

theres a quest that requires you to find 3 fir gpus, if you havent done that yet, i recommend keeping them for that

[compact wharf]

Farming Part 4, I have that but I have purposely not done that quest because I felt the rewards arent worth it

[topaz forge]

you should do it, its worth it in the long run, getting level 4 for all of your traders is one of the best things you can do for yourself

[brisk wharf]

it leads to 2 quests

[main sand]

ah, that makes sense... thanks.. Guess Ill shoot at 50m zero if the target aint really far

[brave isle]

Anyone know how I find Jaeger in the woods :/ I either die a few min after spawning or I never find it

[compact wharf]

ohhh

[topaz forge]

yea definitely, also if you can, get a 100 durability gun, it will help you not jam and keep your shots more accurate

[rigid light]

i still haven't done chemical part 1

i am horribly unlucky

and also rush too much

[topaz forge]

the wiki has a map that shows you where its at, try going into an offline raid, getting a feel for where you are, and making your way to the note so you know where it is when you go into online

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Introduction

[main sand]

BabyWalrus already mentioned durability. By chance, dont you know if my gun info reports current MOA of the gun, or perfect MOA even if the gun is almost broken?

[topaz forge]

looks like the bar doesnt move like its supposed to, but the numbers do

wait maybe the bar does move accurately, i cant tell lmao

the numbers should be right though

[shy haven]

How does one split up Rubles?

[main sand]

seems to me the bar moves aswell, but its the number that matters anyways. Thanks a bunch

[brave isle]

I'll try that again for sure, im supposed to be looking for the plane right?

[main sand]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/woods

[shy haven]

nevermind, found out

[brave isle]

I already ran into a mine fml

that map has so much going on in it jeez

[shy haven]

f, I did that on my first ever raid

[rain nymph]

control left click

[shy haven]

scared the crap out of me

[main sand]

yea care, map edge has mines, + one hill on a side as well

[main sand]

me too🤣

[brave isle]

I cant even tell where the map edge is :(

looks like another wipe of neveer finding jaeger LOL

[main sand]

you can tell by signs, they are like 10-20 meters spaced, red wooden sign indicating death

[shy haven]

try to look for features that are nearby to you and try and find them on the map

easier said than done though

[brave isle]

I found a small pond

[main sand]

yea my first few raids the map was preeety useless xD But I tried, and now I can orient myself on woods most of the time right away

[brave isle]

there ar so many on the map tho jeez

[rain nymph]

open up a map (I recommend a website called map genie) on your phone or if you have it a second monitor.

[main sand]

[shy haven]

relatable

[rain nymph]

it helps to learn maps by watching others play or running raids with your friends

[brave isle]

Yeah im trying. I enabled scavs on the offline to make it more true to how itll be and I died smh. i didnt know scavs spoke english?

[rain nymph]

What map?

[prime comet]

What map were you on?

[brave isle]

Rogue bosses

Scavs are always Russian speaking

[swift jackal]

Im in here because nobody is able to answer my question regarding discord+tarkov. Discord lags to disconnect during tarkov raids. I have an ethernet connection with very fast internet, ryzen 5 2600 and 1060 6GB. Discord overlay and hardware acceleration has been disabled. Tarkov has been optimized for performance and is routinely cache cleaned and files verified. This was not a problem in the beginning of the wipe and now currently is. Is anyone able to help solve my problem or at least point to a certain direction for help?

[prime comet]

Only rogues and some raiders, plus pmcs will speak English

[rain nymph]

Those guys kill even the best of players - don't feel bad about dying to them.

[brave isle]

I never knew rogue bosses were a thing

[prime comet]

They’re new this wipe

[hollow dragon]

Im new and have 3 labs cards any advice?

[prime comet]

And they rotate between lighthouse, woods, and shoreline, come as a pack of 3

[brave isle]

Yeah It just started raining bullets and I didnt even see them

[mint light]

go offline first

and orient yourself

[hollow dragon]

aight

[mint light]

learn the poopy extracts

because they are all awful

[prime comet]

My whole rig ran a lot smoother with a ram upgrade

[brave isle]

damn ill just try without scavs first then x( shit

[prime comet]

Keep scavs on

But disable bosses

[hollow dragon]

someone said ages ago you need 2 for a quest should I save them?

[brisk wharf]

yes

[swift jackal]

Ive got 16gb at 3000+ MHz in 2 channels and process lasso running in the background the clear ram cache routinely

[mint light]

could always buy more

[hollow dragon]

ah yeah

[prime comet]

Yeah that’s still probably the issue

[swift jackal]

Negative, friend has 8gb is able to run discord on raids

[prime comet]

I had 16gb at 3600hz, I upgraded to 32gb about 2 weeks ago now and it’s not had any issues

[mint light]

how do u clear ram cache bruh i always wonder that

[swift jackal]

Process lasso

[prime comet]

Or it’s the cpu, my 3600 struggled

So god knows how your 2600 is

[hollow dragon]

I set up a script that resets it every 5 min

[mint light]

its helpful yeah?

[wise ether]

I’ve heard Tarkov is cpu and ram intensive so maybe better cpu would help?

[swift jackal]

Optimized for low performance. Are you saying that the latest update changes CPU requirements? CPU does go to near 100% during raids

[mint light]

correct

[hollow dragon]

Yeah id say so Ill try and find the tutorial if you would like

[wise ether]

Something that helped me was using physical cores

[prime comet]

Yeah, if your cpu goes near 100% it probably needs a newer one tbh

[swift jackal]

Ah yes good idea

[wise ether]

It seemed to help when I changed it but idk

[prime comet]

Tarkov is dummy intensive

[wise ether]

It also looks dummy good

[prime comet]

God knows why, red dead 2 on max graphics runs smoother on my rig

[wise ether]

Bruh

[prime comet]

Tarkov I hit high settings before my fps starts to dip under 60
