[ripe temple]

[sturdy flame]

ohh

[bold kernel]

boios

[sturdy flame]

thank you

[bold kernel]

which one do you think is more likely to come back in insurnace

[sturdy flame]

powermag ez

[unreal horizon]

both will come back stripped

[sturdy flame]

stupid congested airspace

[bronze venture]

i dont think waiting in bushes is a good way to play the game. gotta balance your RL time with the in game time. hanging out in a bush forever aint fun. you will find more graphics cards my dude dont let it get to ya

[sturdy flame]

yeah graphics cards arent incredibly rare if you're looking in the right places but it is a good find

you lose loot and get loot

tarkov 😎

[bronze venture]

think about it this way champ: graphics card maybe 200-300k at best. but a normal scav run with a decent backpack can net 500k +

[sturdy flame]

fence daddy blesses you sometimes

with a fat pack

or some cool gear

for example i just got an airdrop flare but the airspace is nasally congested

sobbing

[bold kernel]

need help with signal pt 1 on shoreline

[sturdy flame]

god i still have to do that too

i have never touched shoreline

my priorities are wack

[bronze venture]

look what i just got 🙂

[sturdy flame]

LOL

WOW

[bronze venture]

just spawned in with it 🙂 right as you said it lol

[sturdy flame]

legend has it that fence is here with us right at this moment

making our wacky wishes come true

[bronze venture]

lol

[ripe temple]

shit i got 7 rep but dont remember the last key i even spawned with

[sturdy flame]

same ive probably gotten a handful of quest keys that i already had to begin with

fence never blesses me besides with kite, lab keycards, and flares

[ripe temple]

i get hella flares but i normally just do a quick 2-3 minute factory scav then go back to my pmc

cant really get airdrops in factory

[bronze venture]

can use the flares on your PMC

factory scav is good cuz its like 100k every 15 min if you do it on cooldown

hit like 2-3 boxes then bounce

[ripe temple]

i got 6-7 minute cooldowns

thats exactly what i do

[bronze venture]

yeah its just free money

[ripe temple]

i mainly scav factory to extract quick for rep

[pearl copper]

Ditto, I scav factory in between raids if I die earlier than my group

if I die really early in the raid then I just go to lighthouse/reserve to get more loot instead

[ripe temple]

i also dont feel like bringing flares on pmc cuz if i want to guarantee the drop i gotta call it off rip

and i dont want to stay in spawn for the first 5 minutes

[bronze venture]

just run night time

[ripe temple]

thats not the issue

i just dont wanna sit around for 5 minutes doing nothing

[bronze venture]

oh i see

yeah. i guess its nice bait for shooter born in heaven? save it for that? i have yet to find anything really nice in the airdrops anyways

[ripe temple]

^

most airdrops i loot is just food

[bold kernel]

max flechette effective range?

20m?

if you need a gpu, go to interchange, first two computers got me one lmao

[dense hemlock]

I got a gpu in dorms lol idk how lucky i am

[ripe temple]

i find them often in lighthouse

[sturdy flame]

people call it loothouse for a reason lool

[ripe temple]

fr

its just outdoor labs

but better imo

if you dont have keycards

[sturdy flame]

first two times playing it i walked into the most secluded minefields even when i had a map open

[ripe temple]

i know where the mines are

[sturdy flame]

one of them was just a patch of grass in the middle of the road

and out of all the paths i couldve taken

i walked into it

[raw remnant]

zhivchik quest is bugged. Completes itself after 5 minutes of dehydration regardless of extraction, despite it being a required explicit step in the quest itself. Completed on Woods on 0.12.12.31.19428 | MCRP85 - died while ingesting a second dose of analgin

anywhere I can report this "officially"?

[woeful spruce]

the launcher has a bug report button above the play button

they are quite responsive when it comes to bug reporting

[raw remnant]

Thanks

But is the quest supposed to complete regardless of extraction tho?

[topaz forge]

what does it look like when you wear an altyn with this aspect ratio?

[raw remnant]

wiki says you can just extract once on any map after you've done the 5 minutes dehydration step, is that intended behavior or just a bug?

[topaz forge]

thats how the quest is meant to be done

oh wait

i misunderstood what you meant

im pretty sure thats a bug

[woeful spruce]

seems intended since its been here for as long as ive been playing but i think reporting it wont hurt

[bronze venture]

still black bars across the bottom and top but still fairly wide

same with NVGs, large black areas all over the screen

[raw remnant]

alright, thanks

[blazing bison]

[elfin pendant]

What is better for more sprinting? Sj6 + meldonin or sj6 + 3-btg?

[spare acorn]

Got it. I always feel like sj6 doesnt last that long, especially compared to mule

[copper flame]

[unreal horizon]

[spare acorn]

[dreamy bane]

How much rep do you lose when you kill a scav as a scav

[spare acorn]

AI scav, 0.3 iirc, Player scav 0.1

[honest skiff]

i think this is overkill

[unreal horizon]

id swap the rk3

[unreal horizon]

its budget

[honest skiff]

[dreamy bane]

O dang

I'm at -0.25

[honest skiff]

lmao

[spare acorn]

at that level i ran a sks with pso scope

with ps ammo

[honest skiff]

kk thanks for the help

[sage lotus]

git gud bish, maybe thats why mario abandoned you to jump over the pit

[jagged notch]

I LIED!

im actually a hulking man

[pearl copper]

once you unlock peacekeeper 3 at lvl 24, he'll sell m80, which is a really good round that you can coupled with some budget builds(like RFB)

[sage lotus]

then man up and do the quest yourself instead of crying in a corner

or at least ask in #pvp-lfg instead of spamming the chats

[pearl copper]

that was basically my go to prior to lvl 30 (Val & SP-5, you gotta spray at head with that thing though, or RFB with m80(very easy to mod, just foregrip and scope/sight of your choice. Thunderbeast if you want to be suppresed)

[cosmic tinsel]

sp-5 rips thru armor too

[pearl vapor]

are you really dang lemme help you

Ill give you my whole kit too

if you let me play with you for a week

lmfao

[jagged notch]

Cant you detect sarcasm

[spare acorn]

[spare acorn]

Silly

[golden hamlet]

whats the best way to learn woods?

[unreal horizon]

playing it

[vestal wing]

If an extract name is red does that mean it's not available

[unreal horizon]

correct

[golden hamlet]

ok but what if i dont even know where the extracts r in the first place

[cosmic tinsel]

find the exfils, learn town, sunked town, saw mill, emercom/mil camp, sniper rock

mapgenie

[golden hamlet]

i alwways step on mines

[spare acorn]

offline mode ezpz

[cosmic tinsel]

the mines are denoted by signs in all of the locations except for the sandy hill near usec camps

[spare acorn]

Мины!

[golden hamlet]

then im just stupid lol

[unreal horizon]

literally a danger sign lel

armor even worth it?

i haven't been running it much this wipe and dont even notice a difference

[left summit]

how can i use red flare in raid ?

[cosmic tinsel]

equip and left click

[spare acorn]

I'm a Television 110 connoisseur

[unreal horizon]

fair that thing is huge

like i cba to buy armor to maybe save me from 1 extra shot

[left summit]

but i cant equip it

[cosmic tinsel]

ive only fired a few, im fairly sure i just bound em to hotkey

and pressed that key?

[little hearth]

what's going on with the game?

[unreal horizon]

wouldn't you like to know

[spare acorn]

It's going on

[little hearth]

you cant load in to lighthouse

[unreal horizon]

currently on lighthouse so im doubtful

[little hearth]

senator reeses1556's friend

[celest viper]

jaeger's dog tag case, I'm guessing it's basically impossible to purchase cause sells out instantly?

[slate copper]

no

its easy to get

[celest viper]

k I'll just wait for restock then?

[slate copper]

snag some hard drives off fence if they are cheaper then 300k all together

[slate copper]

it should be in stock

[celest viper]

says sold out

[celest viper]

huh?

[slate copper]

jaegers dog tag case is a barter

that requires 3 flash drives or hard drives i forgot

[celest viper]

3 flash drives

[slate copper]

yeah

[celest viper]

I bought the flashdrives but now can't buy the case

[slate copper]

do you have the items filled in

send a picture of it

[mint light]

yeah its sold out

the trader usually dosent update

[slate copper]

how long till the reset

[mint light]

20m

[slate copper]

yeah just wait

you dont need a dog tag case

[celest viper]

my stash is maxed out lol

[slate copper]

backpacks

[drowsy forum]

Hey I just got the game and I’m getting killed as soon as I spawn

Any tips

[mint light]

are u using in game lfg

[slate copper]

get good

practice

[drowsy forum]

Lfg?

[slate copper]

scav runs

looking for group

[mint light]

looking for group, are u joining people

[drowsy forum]

I’m getting killed in scav too 😂

[slate copper]

dont shoot other scavs

do you game much

like shooters

[drowsy forum]

I did once and my own group killed me

[slate copper]

scav moment

[drowsy forum]

Yea I normally play Warzone I tried rust it was fun

[topaz forge]

yea thats what people do in game, its really scummy lol

[slate copper]

were you good

[mint light]

if u want to group use the discords lfg

starting rn ur gonna die to geared people and experienced people

[drowsy forum]

I’m Warzone yea in rust I was mid

[slate copper]

man he had a modded vector

you cant blame me

[drowsy forum]

My scav wait time is 24min so I’m just going in as pmc with only a knife

Cuz idk what I’m doing and not tryna lose my loot

[slate copper]

nice so warzone has basically no recoil so that doesn’t matter but if you can get a feel for the game just by playing it you well get good over time

rust has a little bit of i lost my loot type shit

ive played tons of shooters

so it only took like 3 days to get the feel of the game

but it’s different for everyone

[drowsy forum]

Do I basically just kill everyone cuz as soon as I spawn it it’s always shoot first ask questions when they’re dead

[celest viper]

@drowsy forum start googling how to finish the quests from that the traders give you. Go to traders, click the trader, click tasks and accept them. Focus on these quests, you'll learn about the game through them

[slate copper]

no

thats bad a idea

killing scavs makes you lose scav rep

which means even worse scav gear and longer time to wait

so unless they kitted out and you wanna be that guy dont kill other scavs

pmc you can be friendly but i wouldn’t recommend it

[unreal horizon]

only kill for quest items or pilgrims

[celest viper]

@drowsy forum as PMC yes as scav no, unless they shoot at you and damage you yes

[slate copper]

if a scav asks you to shoot him dont hes tricking you

[slate copper]

nah not even with high scav rep you can get into a raid in like 5 minutes

after the last scav raid

[drowsy forum]

How do ik who’s a scav and who isn’t

[slate copper]

gear

[unreal horizon]

if you're still alive theyre a scav

[slate copper]

and voice lines

[drowsy forum]

So on pmc you can kill scavs but if your a scav don’t kill them

?

[slate copper]

if i hear running i usually use my voice thing to get them to talk

[unreal horizon]

correct

[slate copper]

yeah

[celest viper]

It's really hard to tell you just learn by muscle memory over time. But basically don't shoot anyone on scav unless they damage you, cause its too hard to know if they're pmc or scav

[mint light]

any of ur guys scavs have a bolty

[fallen river]

I'm newish as well. But there is a stat called scav luck, i think. and it'll affect quality of loot I believe

[mint light]

i need it for a daily

[slate copper]

one time this scav jumped over me and scared the shit out of me and i shot him

i was holding the hallway thing on factory

[drowsy forum]

🤣

[mint light]

makes the chance of bad loot lesser, and decreases the timer

[slate copper]

and another time a scav got stuck then a chad killed us

[drowsy forum]

This game seems fun even tho I keep dying

[slate copper]

i thought i was talking to the scav not the chad

[drowsy forum]

I just killed a guy it took like 6 stabs Jesus

[slate copper]

when you dont die its fun

[mint light]

dying is how you learn

[slate copper]

its like if you got robbed every day then one day you dont get robbed so you take a baseball card worth alot of money to the school and get robbed

[fallen river]

I have aton of difficulty doing tasks because I get killed so quickly. I realized its because I have horrible loadouts and I have played a bit before so I know I can get kills. I realized if I have a decent loadout I can do tasks. So I think a good strategy is to do everything you can to exit raids for XP and loot to sell it on the market when we get to that level.

what do you think?

[slate copper]

btw when you take good loot out you are probably going to die

[drowsy forum]

Damn 🤣

[slate copper]

like dont have gear fear but also your losing your shit

[mint light]

run ur scav for money, i only pmc for task and pvp. you wont rly have too many options till 15 and even then ur options really open up at lvl 23

[slate copper]

thats why i have gear fear

[slate copper]

level 15 gives you tons of modding options if you got money to spend

[mint light]

not too much ammo

23 is basically where the game actually begins

[drowsy forum]

I heard it takes forever to get to lvl 15

[slate copper]

it took me around 2 weeks

but im new

[unreal horizon]

yeah it just depends on your exp level

[mint light]

takes me like a day

if ur experienced

[unreal horizon]

anywhere from a day to a few weeks

[drowsy forum]

My friend told me it took him like 2 months 🤣

[mint light]

if ur not experienced its gonna take a bit

[slate copper]

your friend has a skill issue

[drowsy forum]

🤣 I’m weak

[slate copper]

just take a dmr and fight scavs

easy xp run

[drowsy forum]

At the rate I’m going it might take me the same time cuz I keep getting killed off rip them again I only have a knife with me in pmc

[unreal horizon]

quests though, so much more xp

[slate copper]

quest while killing scavs

[mint light]

run ur scav

[slate copper]

honestly their is no reason to not kill them if you wont attract attention

its xp

[unreal horizon]

obviously

go for headshots it'll stack up in the long run

[slate copper]

yeah

or if they have no head gear you could knife them

if you have the eod axe thing

[unreal horizon]

cringe

[slate copper]

but that would never happen tbh

i forgot do you need anything for the intelligence thing

like anything upgraded

[little hearth]

how can i get 0.1 rep on praper

[slate copper]

quest

[little hearth]

dam

[slate copper]

daily might give some

[little hearth]

thxs

[drowsy forum]

I keep getting killed off rip 🤣

[mint light]

are u queueing factory lol

[unreal horizon]

if someone can shoot me ill drop you absolutely nothing but ill appreciate it

[drowsy forum]

Yes 🤣

[mint light]

figures

[drowsy forum]

Best spot to drop?

[slate copper]

no

[drowsy forum]

Everywhere else says insane

[mint light]

that difficulty means nothing

[slate copper]

yeah

[drowsy forum]

Oh ok

[slate copper]

this game is all hard

customs is good for scav runs

[drowsy forum]

😂 good to know

[slate copper]

lots of loot

[mint light]

customs is one of the worst scav maps lol

[unreal horizon]

yeah what

customs is for questing and not a lot else

[slate copper]

nah their is plenty of loot if its not looted

[mint light]

go reserve lighthouse or even woods

[drowsy forum]

Yea but then again im new and need as much guns as I can get

[slate copper]

id i like scaving on customs

[mint light]

im a customs main and i can tell u there is like 100k of loot tops

that map blows for loot

[drowsy forum]

👀

[mint light]

eyeball

[drowsy forum]

I could use 100k of loot 🤣

[mint light]

if u go lighthouse u can make like 500k

[unreal horizon]

customs is ~300 on a good run but still not nearly as good as other maps

[drowsy forum]

I could use 1k of loot honestly 🤣

[slate copper]

not that much

[slate copper]

good to know ig

[pastel junco]

Its funny how lotta people sleep on lighthouse

Literally the richest of the rich maps out there imho

[unreal horizon]

i dont think anyone sleeps on it

[pastel junco]

Hitting the expansion area alone can net you ~600k

[unreal horizon]

and an m61 to the brain on the way back 😉

[pastel junco]

You’d be surprised how often I hear the “oh y’know lighthouse is just empty and full of scavs”

[ripe temple]

^

[pastel junco]

I mean an M61 to the brain on the way back

Isnt a lighthouse specialty

[slate copper]

do rouges kill scavs

[ripe temple]

a decent bit of my lighthouse runs i hardly run into other pmcs

[ripe temple]

yes

[slate copper]

dam

[pastel junco]

Used to not to

[ripe temple]

you can kill them though without scav rep penalty

[slate copper]

i mean the loot is probably in the chalet anyways but that we’ll probably be looted

[pastel junco]

But they changed their aggro pattern this wipe so now they treat them the same as BEARs

[slate copper]

where is other good loot spawns

[ripe temple]

yeah there's a decent amount of loot outside the water treatment

[pastel junco]

expansion to me is the best

Easily 500-800k

[slate copper]

do they hate bears or something

[ripe temple]

the town near the bridge, the cottage, chalet, lighthouse area

rogues are ex-USEC pmcs

[slate copper]

the village

[unreal horizon]

i've been sniping lighthouse bridge hard its so lucrative

[pastel junco]

Get marked bedroom and conference

For like ~30k each

And heavy profit

[slate copper]

where is marked bedroom

[mint light]

dorms

[ripe temple]

thats why they dont kill usecs on sight unless they are in a party with a BEAR since they have some sympathy for being a former comrade

[mint light]

or u mean shared?

[ripe temple]

yeah shared bedroom marked

[pastel junco]

Its in the second-story dorm building on the lighthouse area

[ripe temple]

its in the lighthouse area

[pastel junco]

Has like 5 high value spawns in there

bitcoin under the bed

It might be the servers I play, but most people I run into on lighthouse are either rogue farmers or wanderers that have no idea where to go or what to do

those who know what is up just rush chalet and heli crash then dip southern ext

while I slowly crave around the lighthouse area

[barren prairie]

I've been trying to get even one kill for tarkov shooter part 3 (bolt action less than 25 meter x3 PMC kills) and after 20 raids ive still got 0, this has cost me over 500k now. is factory not the place or what? everyone just murders me no problem. could use tips

[ripe temple]

you could use VPO with AP ammo

if you get a clean shot it can 1 shot thorax

[barren prairie]

that is what im using

im usually dead without hitting, when i do they are surviving the shot. how many tries should it take

[unreal horizon]

its just an aim check

[celest viper]

just click heads

[barren prairie]

that helps, thanks

[rare niche]

Rac head set good? I have helmet

Really?

[barren crag]

whats a good barter for a RB-PKPM marked key

[elfin pendant]

why did the price of green litthium battery drop from 90k to 40k?

[mint light]

people aint want it anymore

[elfin pendant]

yea but why? did something change?

[unreal horizon]

[rare niche]

You sell it on flea?

[mint light]

aint nobody need rest space no mo

[rare niche]

I have just been selling it to therapist 💀

My profit margins

[burnt wind]

how come no ones comes hermetic door.

[unreal horizon]

wouldn't you like to know mr camper

[ripe temple]

because it gets announced when you try to extract there and people just run to camp it

you also gotta run to the entire other side of the map within a set time, the time is forgiving though

[lofty hull]

can you go back to insurance returns?

[mint light]

wdym

[burnt wind]

😛

[lofty hull]

can you go back to insurance returns after taking items and selling them because you have no space

also

help

[mint light]

yeah

[lofty hull]

alright

thank

[unreal horizon]

rr is so much better trust

[ripe temple]

you can also keep items in insurance for up to 3 days

[slate copper]

you dont need the vpos

you dont need a paca or pp

the old looking helmet you can buy for cheap

is the scav bp full or no

[unreal horizon]

its insurance...

[rare niche]

Bro insure as much lol

[lofty hull]

no, but i'm gonna keep it in my T20 for later raids

[slate copper]

put the loot you can in it for now

[barren crag]

whats a good barter for a RB-PKPM marked key

[slate copper]

the heat set and the helmet with 25 are decent

[unreal horizon]

afaik reserve marked rooms are shit so it might not be in demand

[fervent ermine]

It is in a lot of demand

Dorms marked barter

[ripe temple]

pkpm is the one reserved marked key only for barters

[ripe temple]

exactly

[unreal horizon]

shit eh

i forgor

[burnt wind]

how many of each thicc case do u usually have towards mid-late wipe

[barren crag]

ok so what should i ask for it

[celest viper]

Does reserve bunker have sound layers or is it pretty much if you can hear them they can hear you

[slate copper]

well if you can hear them and your not moving they cant hear you

but probably

not

[celest viper]

So not like dorms where you can't hear shit below you

[unreal horizon]

audio's equally bad everywhere

[slate copper]

yeah

[celest viper]

Except I guess if you're above ground you can't hear inside

[unreal horizon]

just more noticable on dorms

[celest viper]

Also can walking be heard through walls?

and what about slow walking if you're like right on the other side of a wall

[fervent ermine]

And resort

[jaunty mantle]

Is there anything else besides that one quest to turn in euros for their use ? Or can I spend them freely

[edgy plover]

Solar

[uneven helm]

Anyone want to join with me EFT? I am LVL 5 we can start something

[summer copper]

if you put something up for a barter will the item you get back be found in raid

[edgy plover]

No

[vestal wing]

what should i sell?

[agile onyx]

Just bought the game yesterday looking for someone to help me out

[weak knot]

have died 50 times trying to do Delivery from the past. When i get to the factory part, i cant survive longer than 20 seconds

[mint light]

stack with a bunch of people

[weak knot]

good idea i guess

[signal nexus]

trying to figure out how much i should let it go for. vendor has it on flea for 675k. thinking 1.3m or a ton of euros

[unreal horizon]

i don't think you can sell on flea

[edgy plover]

You cannot

[unreal horizon]

keep it around for when you get the confidence to run it, they're SUPER fun

[mint light]

i vendor them

[unreal horizon]

ew

[mint light]

deltapoint better fr

[unreal horizon]

ok you're not wrong

[mint light]

i dont like how slow thermals are

my favorite sights are vortex holo deltapoint and exps3

[unreal horizon]

im weird and i overlead shots so i slap with thermals

[mint light]

this is literally better than the normal

[crude loom]

So when I go into interchange I've died a couple times from Killa since I miss took him as a scav (before I get direct line of sight) is there any way to identify if Killa is nearby before you get in line of sight?

[pallid flare]

Is M855A1 ammo good?

worth using in a HK?

[unreal horizon]

not in that hk

but good ammo

[mint light]

good ammo and good gun but the build on that sucks

[pallid flare]

what should i change

i’ve just been farming reserve for mods so i’ll keep an eye out

not level 15 yet

[mint light]

without flea ur not gonna be able to do anything

[unreal horizon]

tbh if you can slap an SDN on that its not half bad

[pallid flare]

And I need the Salvo 12 thread adaptor to use that shotgun suppressor right?

[fair spindle]

does spamming flashlight at an ai scav aggro them if your a scav?

cuz thats what seemed to happen to me

[unreal horizon]

im unsure, but it should lmao

[reef void]

Yo I'm kinda confused, how am I suppose to know where to go to extract? I joined a game and got some decent loot but lost it all because I ran out of time?

[pallid flare]

double tap O

[edgy plover]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov
Use these maps - 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

[ancient thorn]

can i buy the cottage back door key on flea ?

[reef void]

Oh so there are extraction points At every spawn then, and there is a time limit Time to a game?

[ancient thorn]

yeah each raid has its own time limit

some bigger maps have more time

[topaz forge]

yea, you can check your remaining time and extracts by double tapping o i believe is the default keybind

[reef void]

Ah okay that makes sense, I appreciate it

[ancient thorn]

but the game is pretty unforgiving, you basically have to learn every extract

[split spire]

pretty new

noob here lookinf for assistance

any

[dry dock]

you cant put it on flea

[dry dock]

this is good when you need to raise it up more than the standard ones

[dry dock]

you can, but most poeple sell it for a barter item

[dry dock]

yes

majority of the maps are like this, if you spawn on left side of the map, your extracts are on the right side, and vice versa

and some map have open extract for both sides, suche as "path to lighthouse" on the map "shoreline"

[slate copper]

learn the maps

their is no map you can really use so you gotta use a second monitor or your phone to see a map

[primal cairn]

i need help leaning lolo

[slate copper]

lolo?

[primal cairn]

lol

[slate copper]

oh

[slate copper]

use this

[primal cairn]

yah my bad

[slate copper]

its really good

[serene reef]

Good morning

[brazen kelp]

no

[queen crescent]

Could anyone maybe help me with the jaeger quest ?

I cant find it on woods

[drifting jolt]

to find the note?

[queen crescent]

No, to find jaegers camp

[drifting jolt]

honstly, you should learn the map a bit before someone goes in and helps you... try to find it on a scav run

yeah, it's a note at his tree fort thingy

you wont find the quest item on a scav run

but you could at least familiarize yourself with the map a bit better, you could also try an offline raid

[serene reef]

^ people are unused to using maps

better teach them a bit

lemme pull the map one sec

[drifting jolt]

People generally dont want to hand hold here, we're about answering questions and helping

not doing it for you, basically

[queen crescent]

Thank you !!

[drifting jolt]

offline raiding is great, dont be scared to do that...

turn on scavs, and practice a little

[serene reef]

black marking is one of the landmarks

its the sniper rock

coming from red stuff (thats spline rocks) you will see the plane crash

[drifting jolt]

well there's a few 'sniper rocks' that's considered 'the mountain'

[serene reef]

plane crash has a long trail at the ground

hard to miss

same from the other side

standing at the front of plane crash

you will see the jeager camp shack w/e

if you look south

now as mote said

try to find it as scav 🐾 💖

[hardy rain]

nearly pooped myself

[prime comet]

Most armbands are cheap now

[hardy rain]

still a great find

[smoky moth]

you should be more freaked out when you find WZ wallet lol

never met that shit previous wipe

[queen crescent]

If i find it as a scav, does it still count for the Quest =

[prime comet]

No

[drifting jolt]

no, we meant find where it is as a scav

[prime comet]

But he means you can locate the area as a scav

[queen crescent]

AAAaaaaah ok

[prime comet]

And return to it on your pmc for said quest

Failing that

[serene reef]

no but some people need 10 raids to get acquainted with woods

[prime comet]

That’s the one

[serene reef]

and some do it first raid

with my explanation, you can try as pmc

[prime comet]

I did it first raid this wipe

[serene reef]

but you're risking

[serene reef]

yeah but wb your first wipe :D ?

[prime comet]

And I’m the process killed 2 pmcs who were semi geared and had also killed shturman

[rugged badge]

yeah I think so as well, if you know the map it's ez pz

[prime comet]

First wipe about 3-4 raids

[proper forum]

Don´t worry, you cant really speed run map knowledge. Takes some time but you will learn over time to navigate.

[rugged badge]

but for new players I can see that

[prime comet]

Which was only last wipe

[serene reef]

i try too hard to be peaceful with players at any first sign of friendliness xD

its my ultimate weakness

[prime comet]

Pretty sure I walked away with about 1.5mil and 5k xp from the raid alone

[prime comet]

Never fall for it

[serene reef]

i was late this wipe and killed two small chads lvls prob like 35ish with tv100 etc

as a lvl 4

[prime comet]

I met a friendly pmc once on my scav, others will just kill you

[serene reef]

with 7mm to legs

but i just

dont want to fight

even if i die

i want to be the person that makes you happy

[prime comet]

I started 4 weeks ago I think

[serene reef]

2 months

OH

[prime comet]

You’d make me happy if you have any gear and I kill you

[serene reef]

i read that wrong

[prime comet]

[serene reef]

tbf

i was doing infmored means armed

i heard later saw a scav looking pmc

they didnt kill me immediately?

idk if skill issue but i was like awww they;re considerate

so instead of trying to fight

i was like we don't have to fight

but they had rabies :v

i really wanted to drop them some neat items!

[ruby adder]

Never trust any randomer. Scav? Make them drop their weapons/melee if they want to coop extract

[serene reef]

because i wasn't in the i shoot what i see mode

i shot late

and only got one shot around chest/head area with flachette

[ruby adder]

PMC? If it moves, it dies

[serene reef]

was a semi auto shotty

[serene reef]

look

i want to proclaim peace!

or at least try to from time to time

[bold kernel]

Can I kill the mounted mg rogues with level 4 helmets by shooting ps rounds into their heads?

[ruby adder]

No such thing as peace, voip also gives your position away

[serene reef]

head eyes :D

[bold kernel]

no good nvgs at level 1 can barely see the outlines

[serene reef]

37 pen iirc is like 45% or 55% chance to pen first shot t4 armor

[ruby adder]

Talk to them when you know you can cover the angles or hear them advancing 😁

[serene reef]

i was trying to!

i had decent cover

i just thought they moved from left so i went right

ended up peeking them

[bold kernel]

voip is only good for scavs death sentence as pmc most the time

[ruby adder]

If they move, you move or bounce. They know your position lol

[serene reef]

basically that's what happened

our initial moves are red

then i thought the rock ended faster, overall thought they'd push me from the other side

so i went full right

they were crouched p close

on second thought

maybe there were two 🤔

doubt tho i think

i really dont struggle with pvp too much unless im versus some really active aggression chads and i dont start kiting / moving away while fighting

and unless im not being too much in the scaredy cat vibe xD

but hey ill take this secured

xD

In a Labs raid rn but got disonnected due to server issues and every time i try reconnect i get stuck at awaiting server and then get disconnected again

[drifting jolt]

alt+f4 and then try

[strange idol]

tried*

[drifting jolt]

shrugs

unfortunately youre probably screwed

[strange idol]

aight now im dead to a scav

lovely

oh wait... the server crashed

didnt lose or gain anything

[smoky moth]

bro died to a scav in a labs raid

you meant raider?

[serene reef]

we got yesterday

a werd bug

server stopped

as in like we could run around but everything else for us was frozen

[smoky moth]

was it during the maintenance?

[serene reef]

then if it kicked you etc or you dced

it would say connecting to server

sometimes maybe awaiting sesson

and then connection lost

we got our gear back

it was not during maintenance

g2g for now

[ruby adder]

Rule 1, where there is 1.. there is 2

[pallid flare]

hello friends, i was here earlier with a mid MPX, done a few reserve raids since. anyone able to give me some insight? (level 11, no flea yet.) #weapon-modding

[drifting jolt]

insight into what?

weapon modding?

you dont have many options til level 15

[pallid flare]

i sent the picture there

[slender lily]

When you have a holo and magnifier how do you switch the magnifier off. In real steel it flicks to the side. I googled and it says alt and right click but thats not working. Thanks for any help

[drifting jolt]

@pallid flare SMGs dont really require any modding to be good stock

so anything you put on it just makes it better

[pallid flare]

hold left alt before you right click, might need to use left control and right click

oops forgot to reply to him

@slender lily

[drifting jolt]

alt + rmb, or ctrl + rmb? cant remember, i dont use default controls cause they suck dick

@pallid flare thing has 31 recoil, it's gonna be good

[pallid flare]

alright ty

what ammo should i be looking for? or is pst good for now

[drifting jolt]

pst is all you can really buy right now

it'll be fine

but if they're chaddy boys then leg em

[pallid flare]

alright

thank you

[slender lily]

thanks i will try that

[drifting jolt]

@pallid flare anything under 60 recoil is ok, 50 good, 40 great, 30 ish is fantastic

i dont think you can get lower than 28 or 29 vert recoil in any gun

[pallid flare]

i have 32 on this STM, though it's a single-fire and low-recoil to begin with

[drifting jolt]

STM is a laser, but as you said it's only semi auto

but you can fire it quickly

[drifting jolt]

oh fuck but dont use that

look at it's durability, it's trashed

youd be lucky to get through a mag before jam

[pallid flare]

yeahh, no intent to take it out yet. just building on it to see what i can get

gonna try to find a full dura one on fence

[drifting jolt]

that monstrum is a great budget sight/scope though

[drifting jolt]

dont waste your money

fence jacks the prices up

i dont buy ANYTHING from fence

[pallid flare]

it's typically where i get my suppressors

and ammo

[drifting jolt]

oof

you broke?

cause that's how you go broke

[pallid flare]

539k

[serene reef]

ctrl rmb is for switching between scopes while alt rmb is switching modes in the scope

[pallid flare]

so not really

[drifting jolt]

meh, not bad, but i wont buy anything from fence... i grind with trader guns to 15

[serene reef]

for example if you have a scope and a separate second sight ctrl rmb is the way

while if you have a 1-6 scope or the holo with the zoom thingy (bad sight btw) that's alt rmb

same how people often dont see any difference between alt shift and ctrl leftclick to transfer between inventories

alt lmb tries to equip onto your character

[slender lily]

Thank you

[serene reef]

ctrl just transfers to the mirror inventory default place

[pallid flare]

what is the quick examine button

[drifting jolt]

middle mouse

[serene reef]

and shift always tries to put stuff in the sorting table

[pallid flare]

ty

i like my little gun collection. not the best, but not the worst

[drifting jolt]

for the love of god fold them, and remove the pistol grips

[serene reef]

eod = no struggle

[pallid flare]

yeah i have eod

not fighting for space rn

[drifting jolt]

tell that to my stash

[serene reef]

noot noot

:v

[proper forum]

what is the best strategy to level endurance and strenth? use a quite part of the map, sprint full stamina with backpack overloaded, drop backpack (underweight now) and sprint back & forth? or is it a big waste of time, just play normally?

[drifting jolt]

if youre new i wouldnt worry about it

[pallid flare]

am i able to buy extended glock mags level 1 anywhere but off fence?

[spiral flicker]

true

[drifting jolt]

if youre only 17, you probably wont make it to maxed this wipe

[serene reef]

you get 1.25x or1.5x modifier

for the first run of the game

it doesnt matter how far you run

[proper forum]

If I use lvl 4 armor + backpack + ak + helmet instant overloaded.

[serene reef]

but how far you run = points

so technically best way is for endurance to be 0 weight and run as far as you can then extract repeat

be barely overweight for weight training

[delicate canyon]

Use an SJ6 and 3btg at the start of the raid then run as much as you can WITHOUT stopping

[serene reef]

or save money by having just a tank battery

[drifting jolt]

most good kits will already put you over the 'overweight threshold'

[serene reef]

stims also make you run further = more exp

[spiral flicker]

lvl 2 mechanic for 21 round and 50 round

[serene reef]

but you really shouldnt worry about that

its gonna take you more than a 100 raids

[drifting jolt]

^

[pallid flare]

ah, ok. ty

[serene reef]

if you're not about to go for kappa

dont worry about it

[drifting jolt]

^

[serene reef]

it will level up on its own

[delicate canyon]

SJ6 and 3btg makes strength and Endurance levelling about 1.6x more efficient

[pallid flare]

what is kappa?

[serene reef]

but hey you can always remember about sprinting first thing in the game before your stamina runs out

[drifting jolt]

@pallid flare4x3 secure container you get for 'completing tarkov'

[serene reef]

same as you can eat ALL the food you come across

[pallid flare]

oh

[serene reef]

to power level your metabolism

[delicate canyon]

Added on to the air filter bonus and now you have a huge boost for training

[drifting jolt]

it's insanely hard for the average person to get... only 2.2% of players last wipe got kappa

[serene reef]

you dont have to go out of your way to level it up ^^

[proper forum]

no filter yet with lvl 17 but yeah, I guess that has high prio once achievable

[pallid flare]

yeah I don't have the time to put into tarkov for grinding like that lol

[serene reef]

its way easier now though- wait that's a lie

its harder with more streamer items, isn't it?

[pallid flare]

realistically the only time i play is during insomniac episodes

[drifting jolt]

dude... people dont have the time to put into this game, nor is everyone a god tier gamer

[serene reef]

1000 hours

[drifting jolt]

it's insanely hard

[spiral flicker]

bro what the fuck is even this trade

[serene reef]

IKR

[pallid flare]

yeah basically lmao

[serene reef]

like i consider myself a fps games vet

and even tho i have LOTS of time

i 100% aint going for kappa

[drifting jolt]

@pallid flare it's a great 'achievement' to reach, but ill never go for it again

[serene reef]

like i want to have fun

[serene reef]

not grind days and days just farming rogues

[pallid flare]

64h 😳

[drifting jolt]

Youve got some catching up to do 😉

[serene reef]

yeah of you're not considering putting like 1000 hours onto the game dont bother with kappa

• the quality is different

kappa players have fun grinding and farming rogues etc

i have fun running customs and meeting players trying to be friendly xD

at least sometimes :v

[pallid flare]

reserves as a scav is the friendliest map ever

i have died significantly less on reserve as a scav

always end up in a group of like 4-5 people around the dorms area lol

[serene reef]

what map are you comparing to?

[drifting jolt]

learn how to farm raiders for their gear

[pallid flare]

from my experience? every other map lol

[serene reef]

i only really run factory for run through/pmc hunts and customs

i dont really get killed at all on customs

[pallid flare]

my favorite raid was my 6 second scav raid on factory

spawned, turned a corner, got blasted into another dimension

[serene reef]

RARELY get a scav that does scav on scav violence

[drifting jolt]

yeah, people who say scavs are assholes dont play enough

and probably sound sketchy over voip

[serene reef]

and dont f1

[velvet wasp]

help

[drifting jolt]

90%+ of my scav interactions are positive

[drifting jolt]

alt+f4

[serene reef]

back out

alt f4

[pallid flare]

i spam f1 as a scav if i hear anything

[velvet wasp]

did it 3 times already lol

[serene reef]

yeah basically you want to see if they f1 back

[drifting jolt]

oof, cancel and lose your kit

only option then

[serene reef]

i feel the comfiest when i hear like 2-3 people f1 back at the same time

i just autopilot to extract or loot assuming its 100% safe xD

i think scav on scav violence mostly happens at the start of the wipe

people have pent up aggression and really struggle for loot

a lot of people also dont care about scav rep since pmc is enough

[pallid flare]

rip

[serene reef]

lmao nuts

[pallid flare]

favorite scav voice line? mine is the one where he screams when he breaks his legs

[drifting jolt]

Apparently one of the voicelines is calling you a f******t, at least according to yesterday's reddit post

[pallid flare]

so uh, how rare is this

[serene reef]

^ there's one that's a SUPER long rant

[serene reef]

sub 100k

55k

armor repair is better

230k

[drifting jolt]

better to use that than to repair through mechanic, but not rare

[pallid flare]

second HK :D

[drifting jolt]

sell it

[serene reef]

yeah hks are not really that cheap / fun to play with are they

when i find an hk im like

oh god another m4

[drifting jolt]

basically

[serene reef]

although when you find like 2-3 in one raid its funny

xD

also

anyone have seen the fee recently on emelya?!

its literally more than you sell for if you sell at standard 13k

[pallid flare]

I like my HK's solely because I don't have M4's lol

[drifting jolt]

no sense in saving them before level 15

[pallid flare]

Oh, wack, didn't know there were revolvers in this game

[drifting jolt]

so you can do the cowboy memeery

[pallid flare]

i sold the HK since this server's general thoughts on it is 'gun go brr, sell dont use'

[drifting jolt]

you dont want guns lying around you cant mod well

and plus, you can just buy one when you get to 15

[pallid flare]

also is it just me, or is reserve hot garbage for PMCs to extract

I don't understand D2 or the hermetic doors, so everything else is conditional, aside from train

[drifting jolt]

correct...you have to go behind the underground office to turn on D2

or get red rebel, and armored rig and extract at dome

[pallid flare]

isn't rr rare

and that extract also requires paracord i've read

[drifting jolt]

yeah, fairly, but jaeger has a barter

[drifting jolt]

ah, yeah it does, forgot that part

But it's the only extract that doesnt require you to do anything other than go there

[pallid flare]

i don't mind manhole extract... if I've had an uneventful raid

idk where to hide my bag lol. tried twice and it got taken both times

one in a bush, one in a far corner of the map

i've also heard people drop their bags in the blue bins in dome- never seen it though

[drifting jolt]

base of dome

[pallid flare]

speaking of dome

y'all ever got a mounted machine gun kill there? i took out 3 scavs with it once, was glorious

[drifting jolt]

ive gotten one, from the gun on top of train station

[pallid flare]

the mhmgs feel so satisfying to use but god damn they are loud lmfao

[drifting jolt]

still not louder than an m700 lol

[pallid flare]

fair

[sage lotus]

oli logistics key off a lighthouse scav run, yiss

finally can do the quest

[drifting jolt]

is the key still expensive?

should only be like 200k ish by now

[sage lotus]

idk i dont like buying keys

[drifting jolt]

i dont like finding them

lol

[sage lotus]

I bought the factory key, then found 3 of them

[drifting jolt]

if i waited to do quests until i found the key id pull my hair out

[sage lotus]

if i was going to buy all the reserve keys i need, id be broke 3 times over

[drifting jolt]

well youre not going for kappa are you?

[sage lotus]

this wipe i just want to see how far i can get

[icy frost]

whats a good money run i can do? i'm really short on cash and when i unlock flea im gonna need money to buy the shit to upgrade my stash

[drifting jolt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUM5y2jw4QM&t=235s

this is one of the safest and easiest runs you can do on a map

fairly quickly at that

can do about 4 an hour, just over if youre newer

once you have higher endurance and know the route, you can do it in 12-13 minutes

[prime comet]

Just scav run lighthouse

[drifting jolt]

when scav is ready...

PMC cache running IC is a much better idea

[prime comet]

I made 1.2 mil excluding about 500k worth of bits I kept in about 15 minutes of a run yesterday

[drifting jolt]

good for you

[prime comet]

That’s one run, so if you learn that route

It’s brain dead every 15-20mins, then you have more than enough to gear up your pmc every raid

[icy frost]

i know what route you're talking about, but it's very finnicky cause its uber popular

[drifting jolt]

that's the exception not the normal

scavs arent making a mil every scav run on any map

[prime comet]

Lower end is about 500k

So it’s still more than enough for a kit every scav run imo

Condensed that on my scav down to this to use

And handed in a mule and obdolbos for samples

[timber remnant]

if you dont get killed by another scav and if the rogues have decent loot

[prime comet]

If another scav kills you that’s just bad luck

[robust pivot]

Im not familiar with reserves at all, but got a daily quest for extracting as PMC, should I just go in at night and run through to man hole

[drifting jolt]

not a terrible idea

[robust pivot]

Thats all I needed to hear, im going in!

[drifting jolt]

godspeed

[robust pivot]

lmao that was uneventful af

heard a single gun shot ran through in 3 min

[proper forum]

Normally PMC want to exit interchange earlier or? Died to a PMC camper on interchange as SCAV (no biggie) with only 8min left

What is he doing so long in the raid? 🙂

[robust pivot]

Oh never mind, i needed to "Survive on the location"

😦

[robust pivot]

I've been popped by a PMC on interchange with 1.5 min left

[bold kernel]

ive been killed by a pmc on interchange with 30 sec left

[robust pivot]

It's funny because judging by where his shots came from when I died at 1.5 min left, he wasn't making it to extraction lol

[bold kernel]

bruh some people are not the brightest, the guy who killed me was camping emercom so he prolly got out, as long as he didnt go for my loot

[robust pivot]

Heres to hoping he was greedy and went MIA trying 🙂

[bold kernel]

ya tbh if hes camping that long he probably did go MIA

[lyric copper]

anyone for duos or trios?

lvl 14 trying to just run some pmcs n tasking

[drifting jolt]

that usually helps, yes

[drifting jolt]

can try #pvp-lfg too

[lyric copper]

i did

[bold kernel]

anyone wanna play tarkov with me? im new to this game

sup gamers

could you go to your stats (Character > Overall) and tell me what your least damaged limb is

mine is L Leg

[mint light]

head

[bold kernel]

hmm

[modest lava]

where should i loot for samples stims?

[zinc temple]

labs black room

[modest lava]

excluding labs i dont have the balls for that

[zinc temple]

sanitar + scab runs

[modest lava]

duffle bags spawn stims right? i guess ill go to shoreline

[zinc temple]

ok kek

[vapid parrot]

Anyone want to run shoreline with me. I have a route down for ground caches and barrel caches.
