[wraith flame]

What's sus

[open rapids]

u was LOOKING at me

okay?

[wraith flame]

Who the hell are you

You're not the one who killed me

[cursive whale]

and how do you know he was lvl 30

[wraith flame]

Searched the name up to see if it was just a new player

[open rapids]

me not. Just... think a bit?

[wraith flame]

Yes

It was not you

What're you getting mad for

lol

[open rapids]

mad?...

looks like I really want to explain smth to kid

[compact crag]

You're weird

Lol

This is beginner's assistance

See ya

[wraith flame]

I just started talking and you're bein weird for no reason

I literally never said you killed me

[cursive whale]

dude is attacking someone in begginers chat

[compact crag]

Literally

An actual weirdo

[open rapids]

I found weird for answering lol guess who's really weird

[compact crag]

Your punctuation

[wraith flame]

Did something happen today

Why're you taking it out on people here

[compact crag]

Maybe they got wrecked on the game

Lol

[hardy nimbus]

Few days into EFT so don’t judge if this is stupid, but if I drop in as a scav and another scav starts shooting me first and I finish him off am I still negatively impacted in the game and with bad scav karma

[wraith flame]

Yes

Oh wait

[open rapids]

lol okay two kids found themselves kinda

[wraith flame]

If he hits you, then no

[compact crag]

But survival>Karma

[open rapids]

enjoy yourselves I guess?

[compact crag]

Bye

[limpid wadi]

I think you don't lose karma if you get damaged by the player before firing back

[open rapids]

you don't lose if someone once hit you

[compact crag]

You might not wanna wait that long though.

[open rapids]

and lose if someone miss

[hardy nimbus]

thanks

[cursive whale]

just think is it worth killing someone over the loot you have

[compact crag]

Hmm, fair.

[hardy nimbus]

Great point

[compact crag]

Hey. How do i get over the fear of playing as my pmc and losing my stuff?

[whole thistle]

Not if he damages you

[hardy nimbus]

Thanks

[dawn geyser]

Slowly crank it up

If you're petrified

Go with a pistol

[compact crag]

Hmm. If i go with a pistol i'm not confident in fights though.

[dawn geyser]

Go in knowing you're disadvantaged and know you're going to die

[pallid kernel]

just try to realize that you can earn money fast with scav runs

[dawn geyser]

Just get that exposure

After a dozen

Try a bare bones AK or SKS

Slowly work your way up

[pallid kernel]

eh maybe not aks?

they kick a lot

sks is amazing tho

[dawn geyser]

Sure

Also Save your knives Raccoon

[compact crag]

The thing is, i don't

[dawn geyser]

7 Grey handles trade for a UMP
8 Brown handles trade for a MP5

[pallid kernel]

yet

[compact crag]

I have a few umps

[dawn geyser]

That's good

[compact crag]

I really do enjoy those guns

[dawn geyser]

Run a few pistols, die, expose yourself to fights

[compact crag]

Unfortunately, my survival rate is LOW

[dawn geyser]

Then pick one of your more favorite maps and run the UMP

[pallid kernel]

about 35k for the gun if you are buying knives from fence

[dawn geyser]

How low?

[compact crag]

Like, 14% low

[pallid kernel]

not too bad

[dawn geyser]

That's alright you're learning

[pallid kernel]

survival rate is just poopoo

[dawn geyser]

I've seen 7

[pallid kernel]

you can do nothing for the whole raid every raid and survive 70% of the time with nothing

[dawn geyser]

If you want to survive more

[pallid kernel]

if you win 3 fights and die once every raid u got 20% thats much better

[dawn geyser]

Learn hotspots

[compact crag]

I want to get money so i can be more confident in losing one or two guns

[dawn geyser]

Scav run on Interchange

[compact crag]

Rn i'm scraping by

[dawn geyser]

If you're scared to go inside

Run stashes on the outside

[compact crag]

I've been doing lighthouse

Hmmm, okay

[dawn geyser]

Light house is not good for a beginner

You'll die more times than you get out

[compact crag]

The rogues are usually dead

I do anyway

[dawn geyser]

Lighthouse is good if you know how to cheese them/learn it well

Interchange you don't really have to know too much'

If you want to be safe, learn the stash runs on the outside

[compact crag]

Yeah, okay. Sounds like a plan

Thank you

[dawn geyser]

If not, you can hit up the filing cabinets, loot Goshan for food (Assuming you have flea) they do stack up

Back of Oli has some good things too

Sure

[compact crag]

I'm level 5 lol

No flea for me

[dawn geyser]

Ok I see

[compact crag]

I need to do quests on woods, but i HATE that place

I feel like i'm always being aimed at by a sniper

[woeful spruce]

you likely are

[strong barn]

scav night time..hide in the shadows 🐀

[compact crag]

I can't see at night lmao

Like, at ALL

I tried that

Gamer strats

[strong barn]

no eyes needed. seeing is for nerds

[left summit]

Is magnum buckshot the best cheap 12/70 ammo ?

[strong barn]

it says it in the name if u inspect it

MAGNUM CUCKSHOT or something

[limber zinc]

Flechette is better, but magnum buck works

[left summit]

Of cours but not cheap

[left summit]

Does jaeger sell it on level 3 or prepor i cant remember

[cursive whale]

jaeger 2

[edgy plover]

Flechette is Jaeger 3

[left summit]

Flechette not magnum

[cursive whale]

oh

[left summit]

👍

[edgy plover]

I believe there's a quest locking it as well - Woods Cleaning if I'm not wrong

[cursive whale]

its killing 30 scavs anywhere

[left summit]

Easy to do anyways

When do i get this quest ?

[cursive whale]

after completing secure perimeter which is killing 6 pmcs in office area on factory

[left summit]

But this is new right ? I cant remember that the flechette ammo was locked wipe befor

[cursive whale]

no idea

[edgy plover]

Yea - the quest lock is new. Lots of ammo's got put behind quests this wipe

[left summit]

Why ?

Makes it more spicy

[left summit]

What is considered as the office area ? The hole building or just the floor where the office is

[edgy plover]

Entire building

Sky bridge is included - but kinda iffy registering kills there

[left summit]

Ight thanks

[edgy plover]

Also - only the enemy has to be in the office. You can be outside of it

[dense pagoda]

IS THIS WORTH?

i need 3 more sniper skil lfor my next wetjob\

[dawn geyser]

What level are you right now?

Sniper skill level

[dense pagoda]

4

i need 3 more

[dawn geyser]

Did you do SBIH yet?

[dense pagoda]

no

[dawn geyser]

Do you plan on it?

[dense pagoda]

not 1 kill

not sure

[dawn geyser]

I would hang onto it then until 6

[dense pagoda]

hang onto what?

[dawn geyser]

You need I think L9 for a quest in the future

[dense pagoda]

thequest?

[dawn geyser]

Don't turn in quest

Yes

Yes I found it

[dense pagoda]

how much is 50000 euros

[dawn geyser]

If you don't plan on doing SBIH

Hang onto it until L6

[dense pagoda]

i dont use snipers enough

i used mosin only first week of wipe

[dawn geyser]

It's up to you

[dense pagoda]

thats how i got to 4

[dawn geyser]

You can do now then Psycho sniper will be harder

[dense pagoda]

6 million roubles

nvm

[dawn geyser]

Or you can grind out sniper now for a bit for less than later

Oh you don't even want to turn it in lol

[dense pagoda]

fuck that

6m

[timid zinc]

oof lighthouse as a scav. 10 shots fired. 7 fatal hits

[vocal yacht]

how do i stop anti cheat connection loss in raid it's getting me killed every time i connect to one

[timid zinc]

fucking love rouge farming

[lusty forum]

How are people using barter on flea to ask for ppbs/bs packs? Some people are able to do it but I cant find on my list to trade for my keys

[timid zinc]

you might need to have it inspected

[lusty forum]

oh, that makes sense tyty

[wet solar]

is it true we might be getting armor plates next patch

[timid zinc]

if you hold your breath we might get realistic recoil as well

LMFAO

[potent crater]

We cant know

Would make sense to me that they do something like that when arena drops

[woeful spruce]

the thing is that its probably not realistic plates just yet i'd expect the first iteration to be about adjusting the hitboxes to make the thorax have areas like the head so that an armor might protect front thorax while not protecting sides. exchangable removable plates will probably come later

[frosty veldt]

This might sound rly dumb

but How do u guys deal with dying in this game

every death I go and play another game

I don't wanna Que again for the day

cus im so tilted

[dense pagoda]

whats max metabolism?

[clear flume]

i cry about it

[dense pagoda]

find a good money making method thats low risk

you wont be as discouraged when you can rebuy the kit you lost complely

[frosty veldt]

What just make a load of money then play

[dense pagoda]

and dont listen to lvl 26 timmys like lamb

[clear flume]

you dont know what max metabolism is

youre a timmy

[dense pagoda]

for xample, lets say you do a interchange stash run. and make 700k

if you die, you can just rebuy that whole kit again

[dense pagoda]

i just started

and still are 10x richer

[clear flume]

cool

[frosty veldt]

Whats a safe money route ?

[dense pagoda]

then you will ever be

[frosty veldt]

any tips

[clear flume]

this is my 4th wipe
i dont play constantly

[dense pagoda]

learn interchange stash run 100%

[dense pagoda]

tim e

26

[clear flume]

i actually have a life outside of this game

[dense pagoda]

a month into wipe

[clear flume]

ok?

[dense pagoda]

sadge

[frosty veldt]

tbf im only 26

[clear flume]

get a life boss

[dense pagoda]

ur not talking shit

[clear flume]

when was i talking shit?

[dense pagoda]

this channel is here for a reason

[clear flume]

you picked shit first mate

[frosty veldt]

might learn reserve

good money on that map

[dense pagoda]

but when you have people that dont need assistance being a dick

[clear flume]

reserve is pretty chill for raider farming

[dense pagoda]

thats a diff reason

[clear flume]

cry about it

[dense pagoda]

will do 26

[clear flume]

this channel is the funny haha channel

[wooden mesa]

nice... a lvl 52 blatantly hacking lol. 3 bullets, 3 headshots on me and my buddies lol. siiiick.

[clear flume]

dont like it?
i dont care

[potent crater]

^^^

[dense pagoda]

i dont care abt you lol @clear flume

[clear flume]

youre caring quite a bit mate

[potent crater]

You seem like you care you keep replying to him

[clear flume]

exactly

[potent crater]

^^^

[dense pagoda]

u dont affect me, im just saying being a dick to someone asking a question that you most likely can answer is just a dick head move

[clear flume]

i wasnt being dick to someone

[dense pagoda]

telling someone who is asking how to get over dying cry is being a dick

[clear flume]

what was i supposed to say
"when i die i just keep going again and again"

[potent crater]

[dense pagoda]

dont answer

[clear flume]

they asked what we did when we died

i said what i do

[potent crater]

[clear flume]

can only lose 2 milion a day so many times

[pallid kernel]

Which one is better?

[dense pagoda]

kletch

[clear flume]

the surefire

[dense pagoda]

for flashlight abusing

[potent crater]

Either one is fine

[valid star]

Is it still possible to put a site on the vepr with level 1 traders? Watched a video on it, but some of the required items are removed from traders

[clear flume]

it isnt the bright klesch

[pallid kernel]

going dorms so i figured id try going at night

got 2 quests there

[dense pagoda]

its brighter than the x400

[clear flume]

the klesch 2 is
not the 2p

[pallid kernel]

say, are dorms more dangerous at day or at night?

[clear flume]

theyre both risky but on average
night is more chill

[potent crater]

Just get a dorms spawn and camp the stairs lmao

[clear flume]

also gives you the option to escape if need be

[dense pagoda]

night

[pallid kernel]

im not skilled enough for that

right

ill try going at night then

[dense pagoda]

night time with nvg is most of the time gonna be better

[potent crater]

Yes you are, prone infront of the stairs if you hear a guy and aim under the railing free kill

[pallid kernel]

i have a pair of nvgs but cant mount them on a helmet

[pallid kernel]

if you have seen clips of my deaths you would understand

im pretty bad

[clear flume]

are they the PNV's?

[pallid kernel]

n 15

[clear flume]

oh yeah

n15's cant go on helmets

you need the headstrap

[potent crater]

Imo 50% of winning a fight is confidence and 50% is skill

[pallid kernel]

are they worth using over a helmet

[pallid kernel]

i have it

[stark arch]

How can I unlock special slots ?

[clear flume]

depends really
i prefer the n15's over pnv's but the fact that they cant be used on a helmet ia a bit iffy

[pallid kernel]

special items go there

[clear flume]

theyre already unlocked

[pallid kernel]

ill just bite the bullet and go without a helmet

[potent crater]

Helmets are dogshit anyways

[clear flume]

special items such as markers, jammers, cameras and multitools go there

[pallid kernel]

AN/PEQ 2 any good?

for using with nvgs

[clear flume]

as an IR laser
yeah

its drippy aswell

[pallid kernel]

alright

[clear flume]

peak iraq war drip

[opaque ocean]

can someone explain to me wtf is happening to my bullets? https://youtu.be/629v0_G0-Zc

[clear flume]

if thats a scav gun
it will have about 17 MOA

so the accuracy is dogshit

[opaque ocean]

oh

does the durability affect the accuracy?

or are their guns just worse in general?

[hazy hamlet]

your also shooting high place the head of the target just bove the front sight

[sage lotus]

good idea to bring a sniper to interchange?

[whole thistle]

Yes

[whole thistle]

Not if you plan to go inside lol

[hybrid quail]

i usually wouldn't if going in the mall

[frosty veldt]

Man

How do I improve aim

I hit 7 bullets in 45

[whole thistle]

Recoil issue?

[stark arch]

and what is a special item ? a keycard maybe

[bold kernel]

how do I avoid exhaustion? I was just doing an offline PMC raid for practice and got like 150 yards from my extract and then got exhausted and the clock was running down and I tried to sprint to the extract and got shot and died

[whole thistle]

Quest markers, compass, and rangefinders

[potent crater]

Food

[bold kernel]

makes sense

[whole thistle]

Don't waste so much time in raid

It takes like 30 minutes to die of hunger

[potent crater]

^^^ also better metabolism

[bold kernel]

I literally got the game two days ago lol, I've only extracted once and that was because I got lucky and spawned as a scav right next to extract

[whole thistle]

Also if you're constantly bottoming out your stamina you'll get fatigue which makes hunger deplete a lot faster @bold kernel

[sage lotus]

or bring a carton of drinks and a can, and eat those halfway through

[whole thistle]

Stop running before your stamina reaches red

[hybrid quail]

if you remember to eat😉

[potent crater]

Mr mod i have a question

[pallid kernel]

I hate player scavs with a burning passion

5 fucking minutes after spawning in

[bold kernel]

ugh that sucks ass

[hybrid quail]

whatsup

[quasi sonnet]

Do you really have to buy the most expensive edition of the game to play with friends?

[edgy plover]

Only to play offline mode with your friends - the practice mode of the game

[potent crater]

Know how hackers say put away your (whatever weapon you have)?

[frosty veldt]

Yea Idk im heading off

[quasi sonnet]

Okay, thanks:)

[frosty veldt]

Im -1mil man

I cant play this game anymore just perma shit on even with 400 hours I still feel like complete dogshit

25% SR

[potent crater]

i have a 30% with 1.3k hours dont worry about deaths

[bold bay]

Takes longer than 400, takes longer than 1400 lol

[hybrid quail]

alot of people say this when they catch someone from behind, it's not "just" a hacker thing. but yes

[hybrid quail]

i have 3k hours and i still stuck alot of the time. that's what makes tarkov fun

[potent crater]

I was gonna say if I stalk a guy then say put away you (SVD or whatever) or else you are gonna die etc. could i get in trouble / banned?

[frosty veldt]

I just get tilted cus my friends with less hours are better than me

[hybrid quail]

no lol

[frosty veldt]

rly annoys me somehow they just clicked with the game well

[hybrid quail]

unless you are actually running a program that modifies the game, you are okay.

[bold bay]

Find a better way to practice HainZz

[frosty veldt]

the problem is my PC is super laggy too

I think i get 15 FPS down scope

[bold bay]

Oof

That won't help. Look for a settings guide with your gpu/cpu combo

[bold kernel]

Yo need someone with orb3 and or smp

[viral plinth]

unfortunately, everyone's fps drops when using scopes. I have a 3080 ti and a ryzen 9 5900x and my game still drops fps when i zoom into scopes

[frosty veldt]

im a 1070 TI

XD

[strong barn]

the game renders itself a second time within the scopes; thats how it gets such a good effect
only a handful of games do it afaik, Red Orchestra 2 Heroes of Stalingrad did it too. Russian Front WW2 game

[bold kernel]

there are scopes without the lag

[viral plinth]

I had a 1070 a month ago!

[bold kernel]

or less lag

[strong barn]

hopefully they equalize it when the game is polished near the end

also different sensitivities in scopes is hella silly

[frosty veldt]

where do i enable fps counter

just wanna see it for myself instead of guessing

[potent crater]

bro nah I asked this guy to knife me for my fence task and he does then friends me and asks why i killed him and said the rep grind i was doing is lame NAAAH

it had to be done

[viral plinth]

do you have nvidia?

i wouldn't use tarkov's counter since it drops your fps. if you have shadowplay, press ALT+R to see your fps in the top right corner

[queen glade]

click the squiggle key under esc during the main menu. then type "fps 1"

[frosty veldt]

Nice could I ask what settings u used while you had that and what FPS u got

[plucky ravine]

do you guys think it’s better to run 95k or intel scav case to get a labs keycard lol

[frosty veldt]

probs cant remember but I kinda wanna optimize my FPS

[silk reef]

guy I can't make my payment in account upgrade

[granite dagger]

Should I buy health resort west wing 301 key?

[serene locust]

DUO TRYING TO DO COLLEAGUES PART 2 IF YOU HAVE THE KEY LMK

[clear flume]

Worth it if you can escape with just one ledx

[sonic wing]

anyone have dorms marked room? need it for cult

[sonic wing]

u never get ledx from it. or it's just my luck

[serene locust]

DUO TRYING TO DO COLLEAGUES PART 2 IF YOU HAVE THE KEY LMK COTTGAE BACK DOOR

[tacit ferry]

it hink thats a reshala gaurd

guard

[pallid kernel]

its not

[viral plinth]

Yeah I am on my way home from work but I will let you know as soon as I’m home

[quasi sonnet]

Why cant i extract road to customs as a scav? any updated maps or guides that can help me as a new player?

[spiral zodiac]

mapgenie?

[quasi sonnet]

Looked at it now. Thanks for the help. But still could not extract at the location even when it is supposed to be an exit. Anything i am missing?

[spiral zodiac]

did you have it as a listed exfil?

not all of the exfils are options every raid..

gotta mash that "o" button in raid to see time left and exfils. ones with ???'s have conditions

[bold bay]

do you remember the name of the one you tried to go to?

[quasi sonnet]

Okay. i thought it was different as a scav and that they always where open. My bad.

[quasi sonnet]

Road to customs

[spiral zodiac]

no worries. happy hunting

[polar blaze]

should i buy eft, just standard is it worth it?

[unique plover]

buy standard, if you like the game, and see yourself playing it a lot, upgrade to EoD

[polar blaze]

yes but is the game worth it

even as standard

also solo

[plucky ravine]

definetly worth it bro

i played for around 700hrs now and i finnaly decided to upgrade to EOD

i don’t see myself quiting this game for a while

@polar blaze

[quasi sonnet]

I think it depends on what type of game you are looking for. I have played alot of different shooters. But this game is extremly hardcore and different

[plucky ravine]

but that’s what makes tarkov lol

no other game like it on the market so far

[polar blaze]

are u solo

[plucky ravine]

i was for like first 300hrs or so

then my friends got it too

[spiral zodiac]

this is harder than most games solo

[polar blaze]

yes, i heard but am willing to learn as I really want to play it

[young niche]

Guys to who i should give folder 0052 ? Therapist or Skier

[polar blaze]

me

lmao

[spiral zodiac]

i always stick with therapist

but that's just me

[plucky ravine]

i chose therapist too lol

for the injectors case

[quasi sonnet]

at least you can practise by running as a scav. No risk of loosing gear other then the gear you spawned with :)

[polar blaze]

ok im gonna buy it, wish me luck 🙂

[sleek orbit]

have fun :)

[vital oasis]

eod stash is insane lol

[plucky ravine]

it do be

[mint light]

skier

[mint light]

two different tasks

[plucky ravine]

ah

[spiral zodiac]

i played without eod for like 2 weeks. i'm good at tetris but not that good. it was 100% worth the investment

[whole thistle]

I played without eod for a year I'm fucking crazy at tetris

[spiral zodiac]

i am too but it fit better witht he joke to say i wasnt

[whole thistle]

If I find a tetriz in raid I instantly win an esports tournament

[whole thistle]

I suck dick and balls at tetris

[spiral zodiac]

i don't think that's how you play

[whole thistle]

I have no idea where the today came from

[spiral zodiac]

maybe that's why you're not good.. too many balls

[whole thistle]

Fr

[rich notch]

Just found a flashdrive, what are they used for?

[mint light]

annoying ass quest like 2 hours in

[placid saddle]

how much rep does it take when you kill reshala and guards as a scav

[whole thistle]

If you kill all of his guards and him you're probably gonna lose like 1.5 lol

[plucky ravine]

-0.2 to -0.5 for boss and -0.05 per guard

[vital oasis]

thats tough

[plucky ravine]

f

[vital oasis]

1 tapped me lol

[plucky ravine]

buckshot ?

[plucky ravine]

aight good

[forest kestrel]

seems like its the best one then?

[plucky ravine]

altho it’s also good to look at 3d maps to learn too

[whole thistle]

Wiki has better learning maps

[plucky ravine]

ye

[whole thistle]

Mapgenie is better for loot

[forest kestrel]

[spice pine]

[wooden marsh]

[spice pine]

u wanna cook?

[wind jackal]

thanks, i'm gonna need it lmao

[regal plover]

Running into Tagilla really do be like

[pallid kernel]

yes

[regal plover]

Dude eats ammo lol

[wooden marsh]

just so you know, the item is gonna be stored in your quest inv, so you cant put it in your container and you loose it if you die. so make sure to click complete on the quest when you get back or you will loose the item next raid

[regal plover]

There's an quest item stash you can transfer it too as well if you want to complete it later

[wind jackal]

alr, good to know, thanks a lot!

[regal plover]

In your Tasks tab, right side

[dense pagoda]

NGL this might be my new fav 556 gun https://streamable.com/br65wz

[wooden marsh]

so, i found this lvl 4 rig. idk what to do with it. ill prob waste it if i repair it and use it

[dense pagoda]

one of the better lvl 4 rigs imo

[mint light]

use it

[dense pagoda]

good movement

repairs realyl good

[mint light]

it repairs like new and dosent get taken often

[wooden marsh]

rly? people dont take it? is it cause its an armored rig so harder to carry?

[whole thistle]

Just use it

[true helm]

best map to start out to get better at the game?

[whole thistle]

It's just cause it's cheap and common

[whole thistle]

Customs

[regal plover]

NOT Factory. I recommend Customs since your early quests are there. Don't forget to pick them up from the traders!

[dapper galleon]

Customs or woods

[true helm]

oh word i heard some ppl say factory, because you get put into pvp a lot and the failure of factory allows you to adjust and get better

[dapper galleon]

Factory isn’t real pvp

[sly oracle]

Damn wtf. I killed him the first time a few days ago with an mp5 and half a clip of green tracer

[regal plover]

Factory is a slaughterhouse that will kill you in under a minute

[whole thistle]

Factory will make you sad and poor

[sly oracle]

Hit him in the legs tho

[true helm]

but what if i 360 no scope everyone in factory?

[sly oracle]

I grind factory and have made decent money after a few days

[regal plover]

That's literally what I'm doing right now but I'm going in a bit heavy for it

[dapper galleon]

Not a good nap for new players doh

[bold kernel]

what is it with being invited to a group and then kicked when it fills?

[dapper galleon]

Why do you not have a muzzle on it

It’s mad cheep for one

[whole thistle]

You would make a lot more on any other map lol

[true helm]

just a bit heavy

i heard shoreline and interchange are also good w less choke points

[regal plover]

I'm just draining my shotguns from insurance. They had suppressors ripped off of them

[wooden marsh]

i managed to get an ak 105 from fac by legging someone with a 133. but that was more of a fluke

[regal plover]

Interchange might be a good one to try out.

[whole thistle]

Just a default 105?

[wooden marsh]

he was running a benelli with grizzly 40's so i barely killed him first

[dapper galleon]

Why suppress them over muzzle?

[bold kernel]

I've been invited to like 5 squads and then kicked, what the hell?

[whole thistle]

Nothing special but better than the trader guns lol

[regal plover]

Because I was doing [[Silent Caliber]]

[broken quail]

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

[dapper galleon]

Ah fair enough

I hardly suppress any of my guns unless I’m meta chasing

Or tasking

[bold kernel]

oh finally a squad let me in and started the game

[regal plover]

Because those people are looking to invite people to TK and steal their gear. They don't want low levels with nothing. Don't accept invites from the in-game lobby from randoms :)

[wooden marsh]

oh and he also had 3 tags and a rooster on him

[bold kernel]

thats true, I have nothing of value

makes sense, I should have thought of that

[edgy plover]

Oh no

[regal plover]

If you're already loading in with randoms (not from this server), good luck not getting TKed in 0.5 seconds!

[sly oracle]

True but it takes a while to learn other maps as easily as factory

[bold kernel]

I backed out, and anyways I only had an sks so there's literally nothing to steal

[whole thistle]

It might be easy to learn but there's really nothing to gain from it as a beginner

[sly oracle]

Keys and safes and some beginner tasks

Can all be found there

[whole thistle]

Unless you count daily tasks there's not many beginner things there

[regal plover]

I spam Factory with flechette shotguns for fun and kill EXP

[sly oracle]

Yeah

I need people to show me around other maps

[edgy plover]

Factory is a terrible beginner map unless you're a big fan of the "throw 'em in the deep end" mentality
If you can make it there you can make it anywhere

[regal plover]

New players lose all their money in Factory

[sly oracle]

Ive followed the game for years but getting it and actually PLAYING IT 2 weeks ago is a whole different thing

I dont 🤷‍♂️

[wooden marsh]

what's broadly the best buckshot load to use?

[sly oracle]

Ive made 1mill off it

Not much but im just beginning

[regal plover]

Magnum Buckshot. 50 dmg/pellet, 8 pellets. Easy 2 hit kills on legs

[sly oracle]

Killed tagilla for the first time too

[compact surge]

any advice on getting ledx without shoreline?

[regal plover]

Flechette if you have access

[sly oracle]

What level can you but magnum buck

[regal plover]

low

[sly oracle]

Buy*

Im only 7 😭

[edgy plover]

Airdrops or Interchange - found a few in Emercom/Mantis/UltraMed this wipe

[open cargo]

just completed the mission for skier where i have to give him 6000 usd, i pressed complete and a message with my reward never came trough??

[dapper galleon]

Jaeger 2

Is magnum

[sly oracle]

I see

[compact surge]

how do you mean emercom

[sly oracle]

I need to get to woods

Lol

And unlock him

[dapper galleon]

Emercom med

[whole thistle]

Just check out customs or woods offline or on scav

[regal plover]

Nice map Shep

[compact surge]

ok fanks man

[dense pagoda]

can i gift a friend tarkov?

[bold kernel]

uh my mouse cursor is showing in game what do

[dense pagoda]

or do i need to make an acct in there email

[compact surge]

yes @dense pagoda

you can gift someone tarkov

just go on website

and you have the option to gift it to them if you own the game ur self

[wooden marsh]

Hmm, im still LL 1 on all so i cant find it on anyone what about 7mm vs express?

[regal plover]

[[Ballistics]]

[broken quail]

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

[dense pagoda]

wtf is this?

i live na, and my friend lives na

[dapper galleon]

Then click cis

[dense pagoda]

what abt other?

what is cis

[dapper galleon]

Others fines as wel

[edgy plover]

Before getting magnum I suggest 5.25

[wooden marsh]

yeah i had that chart open before but couldn't tell the difference

[regal plover]

Be aware the recoil on Magnum Buck is huge

[bold kernel]

like, my cursor is in the middle of my screen making it impossible to aim

had to leave the raid because I literally could not aim

[green portal]

is there a guide to the different earpieces? not sure which one I want to be using

[regal plover]

It's all preference.

[graceful girder]

I just run the gssh whatever and got used to those, as I think they're the cheapest

[regal plover]

Go for them then

They all hear the same distance, just have different sound profiles

[reef locust]

hey all! im brand new to the game. if any1 can party with me and teach me the ropes to get started i'd really appreciate it!

[green portal]

https://youtu.be/AV3xDJAy0gA try this

[green portal]

do you have a rundown or reference of how each one sounds? not sure what would be best. I have headphones that allow outside sound in easily

so I was thinking emphasis on bass

[reef locust]

👍

[regal plover]

Sordins are bass heavy

[green portal]

thank you. mwuh (o 3o) ~<3

[stable hornet]

i just upgraded to EOD and alot of my traders should be LL2 but they didnt upgrade?

[wooden marsh]

do you have ALL the requirements? like player lvl and money spent?

[stable hornet]

i believe so

[distant fable]

why is golden star better ?

[distant fable]

send a message to support, my traders instantly whent level 2 when i upgraded

[regal plover]

Lasts 50s longer, gives some hydration & energy recovery, has 10 uses vs 6, removes contusions.

[regal plover]

Show us a picture of a trader. Just upgrading to EOD isn't gonna jump you up trader levels unless you've alreday got some rep/levels/spending with them

[distant fable]

ooh okay i see ty

https://tarkovmerchstore.com/in-game-stuff/vaseline-norka is this real vaseline or just a toy ? xd

[regal plover]

It's the actual thing.

[distant fable]

nice will get some 😄

[zinc canopy]

Funny thing is it also gives you contusion

[bold kernel]

for items that have a limit on how many I can buy per 1 restock, how do I buy less than that limit if its say, 6? I try to type 3 but because it won't let you put 0 in, it defaults to the max. would I just have to buy them one at a time?

[cosmic juniper]

i get backend error every 2 minutes is there anthing I can do to fix this?

[regal plover]

Nope.

[dense pagoda]

the server im in crashed

we cant shoot

me or my teamates

riader are frozen

do i lose my shit?

im stuck on server waiting response

[regal plover]

Maybe. Sometimes you keep what you went in with, sometimes it acts like an extraction, sometimes an MIA. Will have to wait and see.

[dense pagoda]

i cant even join back

wow shit game

[distant fable]

relax bro

[dense pagoda]

bro

i cant join my game back

i prob just lost my shit

and my boy has a hex and altyn

mutant

ripppp

[distant fable]

Ah fk :/ sorry

[bold kernel]

I swear to fucking god three quarters of the time on this game is trying to fix crashes or bugs

[dense pagoda]

yea it kinda blows

im just wondeirng if we keep our shit

[distant fable]

i think the servers are overwhelmed because people buying off the sale

[distant fable]

Hopefully

[fervent ermine]

Yesterday when servers got fucked

Everyone got their shit back

What they went in with at least

[dense pagoda]

yea igot my kit back

thank fuck

and i kept my labs card

[distant fable]

Ur welcome

[stable hornet]

u were right it was money spent mb wasnt even paying attention thought i had all the spent amounts done

or ig that was @wooden marsh that told me

[stark arch]

Is it worth to keep fuses ? I need stash space that's why

[graceful girder]

Anybody have trouble telling scavs from pmcs, especially late in the raid?

[fervent ermine]

Not really

At some point you’ll be able to recognize scav clothing from pmc clothing

[sturdy flame]

i always search up my items on the wiki just to see what I could craft it into/do with it, and if it's worth the money selling

[tacit ferry]

give my sr25 bac

[dusky junco]

anyone got rb-smp key?

still need to do disease history and im almost done with it

[fervent ermine]

No

I would’ve responded to your 15 pings earlier

[tacit ferry]

why

[tough gyro]

Who sells m62 and m8556a1?

[open hedge]

peacekeeper

856a1 is unlocked at pk3 after cult 2

and m62 is pretty far into spa tour

[dense pagoda]

does anyone know off the top of there head what quest unlocks the vudu

[fervent ermine]

Outcasts

Huntsman path - outcasts

[dense pagoda]

does green airdrop call in supply drop?

[fervent ermine]

No

[dense pagoda]

which one does?

[fervent ermine]

Red

[potent crater]

99% sure that is wrong

[fervent ermine]

Cult 1

[potent crater]

yah that is what i thought

[open hedge]

i was wrong

[quasi sonnet]

Im having a hard time seeing the difference between pmc and scavs. And i am pretty sure i was shot at before i shot another scav or player. Then i get alot of minus rep because everyone else shoots med. Will scavs always shoot me now?

[open hedge]

pmcs are usually green clothed or have more powerful armor

some pmcs change their clothes tp look like scavs (i do this)

but mainly look out for the color green

[fervent ermine]

And some people like black drip

[open hedge]

black green and now blue

[quasi sonnet]

But if i shoot a player scav before he attacks me. Will i get negative rating?

[open hedge]

red is pretty scav exclusive

[tough gyro]

It only let me buy 140 though

[fervent ermine]

If you kill him you will lose rep

[open hedge]

if you kill him yes if you just hurt him no

[fervent ermine]

Damaging him will mark you as a traitor scav

So you will be kos for ai scavs

[tough gyro]

Anyone know how I can restock things to purchase again?

[quasi sonnet]

But if you see the picture above. Did i shoot another traitor scav and get pluss reputation?

[fervent ermine]

You wait until the traders’ restock

[spice pine]

@plucky ravine u on?

[fervent ermine]

You killed good scavs and lost rep

[tough gyro]

How often is it

[fervent ermine]

Each trader has different times

I don’t remember them off the top of my head

[dense pagoda]

DOES HAVING JUST A PISTOL MAKE YOU TAGGED AND CURSED?

[quasi sonnet]

But it says traitor scav kill. Does it mean i killed a scav player who also killed other scavs?

[potent crater]

yes

[dense pagoda]

ive legit gone so many times with juist a pm and a rig and backpack

[fervent ermine]

That isn’t ‘just’ a pistol

[open hedge]

lose rep means killed good guy gain rep means killed bad guy

[fervent ermine]

Mpx not mcx

2 different guns in different calibers

Lmao

[potent crater]

what the fuck is that

short barrel mpx with that stock bro

oh i thought you were gonna run it XD

gunsmith 16 is a pain bro

I was gonna saw how you gonna use the "meta recoil" stock and a short barrel

9mm is so good bro idk why people hate it so much there is definitely better stuff but it really isnt that bad

[brittle canyon]

it is that bad

[potent crater]

0 recoil with high fire rate

rip, quake maker, pay up

Luger CCI

T

i am

[dull mulch]

does farming pt1 require 1 or 2 toolsets?

are they consumed>

[fervent ermine]

2

[dull mulch]

are they consumed?

If I die do I just lose that shit?

[dense pagoda]

wtf does this do

is it useless

its the green one

[mint light]

yeah

[dry dove]

yea you could say

a flare pretty much

[coral axle]

this signal task part 1 on shoreline is awful for me

health resort is full of sweats

[dull mulch]

is there someone I can buy toolsets off of before the Flea?

[potent crater]

how do i raise charisma?

[rose zephyr]

can someone help me its my fist wipe and i keep dying every time

[distant fable]

wtf is this fee

[junior mirage]

yo im brand new just bought the game... anyone wanna queue up? i need taught but i learn quickly

[storm slate]

use #pvp-lfg

[tough gyro]

Anyone know why my gunsight mandable won’t go on my fast mt?

[languid quiver]

how rare are labs access keys

[distant fable]

u need this part

[abstract bough]

is this fabric even worth keeping

[tough gyro]

Is there a visor or something I can put on it to cover the eyes

[spiral flicker]

Right click then linked search

[hardy wasp]

yo how do you make rogues get on the mgs if they arent

[brittle canyon]

it’s not supposed to be that expensive

[simple kernel]

@hardy wasp just wait it out, the ones that supposed to be on mgs will go back on it

[remote rivet]

anyone wanna help me with some quests?

im very new

[hardy wasp]

brother theres 18 min left and i ahve to run back to radar room

[simple kernel]

Sht there’s nothing u can do to ‘get them back on’ man

[bold kernel]

how do you level strength and endurance quickly

[simple kernel]

@bold kernel simply run more raids. Under overweight gains endurance points, and overweight gains strength points.

[brittle canyon]

many short raids

to reset diminishing returns often

[timid zinc]

will COOP always require EOD

or yall think they will change it when arena comes out

[plucky trout]

no reason for them to change it imo

incentive to upgrade

[timid zinc]

true but coop will become useless when arena comes out

cause 90% of the coop games are pvp

[plucky trout]

no not at all.

co op offline is extremely useful

specially to new players

[timid zinc]

so new players

players who just got the gam

players who prolly didnt spend 140 bucks on a game they never played?

[plucky trout]

not to mention custom games

[timid zinc]

those kind of new players?

[brittle canyon]

pretty sure they have dedicated servers just for hosting coop, so they want to get some money back for it

[timid zinc]

EOD is NOT for new players no person who wants to try out and play tarkovs goes straight for EOD

[timid zinc]

yah i get that

[plucky trout]

i bought eod in alpha?

[timid zinc]

same

but not everyone did

[plucky trout]

and not everyone farts under the covers and smells it. whats ur point?

[brittle canyon]

the original plan was to let users host themselves like regular offline raid but I’m guessing they couldn’t make it not extremely vulnerable

[plucky trout]

^

[timid zinc]

all im saying is the target people for COOP are people who dont have EOD

most people who have played this game for a couple years have EOD

most BRAND NEW people only have starter edition

[plucky trout]

new players is a small portion of the many reasons someone would want coop

[timid zinc]

coop is for pvp only rn thats my point

not for teaching new people how to play

[plucky trout]

ok im done.

[spiral flicker]

The funny thing is that it's literary pre-arena thing coz u can just look for group on labs or factory and someone will always invite u in group and u go play FFA

I've seen ppl doing dolphin dives so it was annoying af

[glad chasm]

@timid zinci was brand new to tarkov and bought eod version lol but i had watched alot of videos and streams and was determined to love this pain simulator

[regal plover]

Just made a video to showcase the different headsets https://youtu.be/ZrLF-laLXag

[stone yacht]

Any new players want any help?

[uneven oyster]

yo i have a question im kinda new, are computer parts like ram, dvd player, and cpu good to get on a scav run?

@stone yacht

[merry frost]

keep cpus

[stone yacht]

they are decent value per slot generally

[merry frost]

you can turn dvds into pcbs later on when you get crafting

[stone yacht]

especially as a newer player

[uneven oyster]

yeah i found someones backpack and it had ram dvd and cpu in it

[stone yacht]

you can use websites like tarkov-market.com to check flea market prices on things you are really unsure about and start learning what to keep

also if you ever kill higher level players keep mind of what sort of items they tend to loot / have in their backpacks

[uneven oyster]

@stone yacht this is what i got from the run i just did

@merry frost

[merry frost]

T is terrible

rest is fine though

[uneven oyster]

not needed?

[merry frost]

its jus bad ammo

[uneven oyster]

ahh okay, and you need the emelya for a quest right?

[merry frost]

yeah

[uneven oyster]

i thought so glad i didnt leave those i almost did

what should i sell

and keep

[merry frost]

er

thats upto you

if you need stuff for quests

[green portal]

nice, thank you. will watch later

due diligence

[weak talon]

if you use up a fuel tank do you have it at 0% fuel or does it just go away

[mint light]

it goes to 0

[brittle canyon]

use empty cans for crafts

[weak talon]

and it stays in your stash

[brittle canyon]

or sell

[zealous ingot]

[rain briar]

labs card is extremely valuable from what little I know

[zealous ingot]

k

[mint light]

u can go to labs\

[prime comet]

They’re not valuable but you need 2 fir for a quest

[fervent ermine]

165k per slot pretty valuable

[mint light]

slick close to best armor in the game

[prime comet]

I mean to sell it’s only 60k no?

[fervent ermine]

Yeah only 63k

[prime comet]

Per slot that’s good but

Quest

[fervent ermine]

You could naked run and stick valuable items up ass

[prime comet]

I have 60k to my name rn

[fervent ermine]

Killing shturman

Welcome to my world

[fervent ermine]

AKM

5.45 bad

[spiral flicker]

I think u have to use aks-74u

[green portal]

yeah I hear 5.45 is not too great

you do. I finished the task

[fervent ermine]

Fun but bad

If you dont care about performance run 5.45

[spiral flicker]

I clapped u with that 3 times in a row and u had way better things then me lmao

[fervent ermine]

Very low bar

You could kill ne with a glock

A 9mm glock

[spiral flicker]

I use 50 cal glock only

[prime comet]

545 > 556

[spiral flicker]

^^

[fervent ermine]

7.62x51 > 5.45

[prime comet]

Good 762 ammo is harder than good 545 ammo though 😦

[fervent ermine]

Harder to get or wym by harder

Harder hitting

[spiral flicker]

Ofc to get, do u think he talks about your dick lmao

[green portal]

no way 5.45 > 5.56
