Fair
Is the Tarkov wiki ammo chart reliable or is there a better one?
should be up to date
Coolio
ive recently killed a few juicy people and I dont have any stash space, I need help figuring out what i need to sell and keep.
what is the quick way to gain level ?
do tasks
so no other option ?
not anything thats quicker
yo mlem
task, rogue farm, night factory scav hunting
if they're a new player its probably best to stay away from rogues, They just gotta get through the initial tasks to start getting some good exp
ban any%
sub 20
did you really suggest a new player to go factory above all that night????
new players should be playing day factory and getting used to pvp + audio
over and over
Why do you guys have Trans Rights in your name?
@fervent ermine
why not
FUCK
advocating for human rights is a good thing
all of my stuff came back from insurance
It’s random
Nice.
You don’t have to insta claim it
there does an entire day of stash clearing
It’ll be there for a few days
not really
that's what I did my first wipe, someone told me and I just rock a headset, mp-153/133 with a flashflight
why did you claim it
It really is.
it helped me get a bit more confident in gearfear and combat
great question, i have no clue
can they just ass belt A
i like the look, i just don't need 10 grenade pouches
Based

I’d sell
good bit of money
I pay a lot for my looks but I already have a style I like
Put a berkut on my man, that bag is ruining your drip
doing chemical part 2 what other keys should i bring
opinion acknowledged. backpack replaced
Berkut real good early game
I don’t recommend any backpacks less than a berkut or daypack
4x5 is my hard limit on capacity
4x5 normally could fit 2 rifles
Or a lot of high qual loot
if we assume we can't fold them
Don’t be afraid to slap on the Surv pants when you get them either, they rock on that setup
i wanna do this with srvv pants
did that last wipe, height of my fashion
just gotta find matching black gear
i like cold fear and smoke balaclavas
Smoke expensive
i just find them and use them
and sometimes i also use Far Right Militia skull balaclava
Skull is neat
it is
ghost bala and welding goggles
using green shemagh rn, fits well with green clothes
how do i do the dehydration quest for jaeger
will i not die in 5 minutes?
guys i killed two chads and then died to a third :{
no, if you heal
i many heals will i need
boys who sells the reap-ir scope?
and actually take a bottle of water to drink after those 5 minutes pass
a propital will keep you healthy and keep your sanity
not everyone has injectors
both skier and mechanic LL4 have barters for it
thanks
just the one?
besides that you can't bu it for cash
yes, 1 damage healed every second over the time of 5 minutes
that's 300 health, less than you'll lose
ok ty
i think dehydration quest is one of the only quests that can be locked, as in impossible to do
if you have your metabolism skill maxed out you can't dehydrate
further proving that jeager is the worst quest giver and should be sacrificed to the cultists
that's good to know when the game releases to avoid soft locking my account progress
lmao i agree he took all my food and cost me 300k in snipers
anyone have marked key? just need to place marker
any good vpx storgae spawns i need 1 found in raid
Lighthouse or labs
mayo + crackers, use propital right after
skills issue
Watching YT in the background
what items should i get rid of, im lvl 12
i can se youre a tryhard from day 1
do you have scav box?
yeah thats where all my junk is
is it full
yeah
in the switchblade is bags in the lbt is keys and in the T20 is heals,
Guys is this a good build?
sell everything 
alr
that was a joke
ik
i already know this dude will be one of the biggest sweats in this server
nah i rarely go in with good gear and when i do i get headshot the second i spawn
How did you get so many guns then
killing rouges/players with ppsh or mp 133
Leg meta or the rat wqy
Bro thinks he’s a sweat because he’s decent at the game
💀
💀
any advice for getting this done? i need those ofz's
Scavs tbh
invaluable advice
How
I got all 5 from spawning as scavs lol
You could try reserve keys
I find a lot on reserve
does DVL or m62 ammo have low accuracy? i swear i've had my crosshair on someones head so many times and it doesnt headshot
both have good accuracy
might be at long distances drop making it a neck shot
my zero is on 50 i think
yeah thats good
this shold work for up to 150-200 meters for m62
but im going for shots that are 125 meters + so should i be putting it on 100 or 150?
putting 100 is safer
as on 50 bullets can go very slightly lower
does 100 mean its accurate if you're shooting 100 meters away?
so shouldnt i put 150 because on lighthouse most of these SBIH are around 150meters
up to you if you shoot 150 use 150
put it on whatever youre comfortable with
just remember to adjust to distance as that can make you overshoot up close
ok i'll try 100 for now thanks
you can use a rangefinder in your special slot or on the rifle to know precisely
remember zeroing is based off a given bullet for the gun, which isn't always your bullet, so adjust accordingly
it should work for western scopes dvl and m62 about fine
yeah m62 and m80 have very similar velocities
if you use this you can observe the distance real time while scoping
i find it usefull for lighthouse
how good are these keys
for the default ammo for that gun, yes
with the dvl the default ammo is m80, so zeroing will be accurate with m80
m62 is slightly slower than m80 so it will shoot slightly lower at 100m
probably not low enough to make a difference
203 is a quest key 214 and 110 have safes in them and you can use them to farm flashdrives
ok thx
to kill or to coop?
spawn as a scav to hunt a pmc
i'd imagine lighthouse right?
why are you hunting pmc
loot
loot?? just loot
im broke and I need a modded gun
but since there are so many playerscavs running around in good gear there it can be hard to tell the difrence
and sell the loot and buy gear
what is the best time to pop a flare? for airdrop
start of raid and camp it from a perch
my intentions to kill a pmc are subjective, if you do not like it, tough i guess
theres no really good time imo but begining of raid can work
welp time to die
well if your end goal is getting gear it’s an inefficient way of doing it
camp d2 ezpz
but if his goal is to kill pmcs to get gear cause he likes that than its a very eficient way of getting that goal
what
if he likes getting gear from dead pmc thats his buisness
its for sure more fun than stash running
iamma die i can feel it
i am in a bush
no team
i play asia so i am fucked
rip
why arent scavs spawning in offline mode?
bug
any fix for it or nah
you need to check the box enable ai if you didnt
Yeah, i did
i do not know
Its been working all day
disconnect and hop in another ig
you can bump ai amount to high and see what happens
its on horde atm
hm, bug probably best to report it
I just do that through the launcher right
yea
alr, thanks
np
.
.
rate raid
is this a 'meta' gun? just killed some fucking beefy guy on woods and he had this, m61 ammo - genuine question as it's only my first wipe and im like level 18
the scope seems clean as fuck, 1/6x
looks meta, must be meta
it does look rather meta but i'm a real noob so idek
its very meta
fast fireing 762x51 gun with a good scope
and fat ammo
damn i don't wanna take it into raid now haha
the ammo ignores all armor in the game
get over the loot fear before it comes a very bad habit
run it
and 2 taps everything in the chest
yeah i linked searched it and it's peacekeeper high level right
what are the best thing to sell on flea market
barter items needed for hideout
personally I do anything that’s 10k+
flea market is so annoying with the two slots man
takes a fucking year to get to the three slot too
whatever you have but don’t need
hey gotta combat rmt right
I got there in one week
what rep do you need?
3.0 I believe for three slots
feels like i've sold a lot and my rep is still low
30
30 for three slots?
yep, and 70 for 4
what the fuck
it’s over 100 mil rbl value transacted for 3 slots
that's the reaction i was expecting
bruh got a meta m1a with m61
loool
it was a stupid kill too, i was crouched somewhere looking at the map on my second monitor and this guy just walks straight past
he was level 69 too
like wtf
crab gaming
im still learning anyone trying to play?
M1a is the only meta gun I don’t like
The stock variant Is fun through
Guys do you know how can i do this quest idk why but when i have a pain i cant get the last 2 kills even tho i have that effect
Anything that I should do before I do my first raid? I did a scav run and 2 tapped 2 people but then I died. Game is pretty fun but complicated.
How would one go about learning the maps? Should I do a few more scav runs or something?
offline mode then scav maps
when you get shot at you get pain effect almost immediately so you just do that task organically, just get shot by scav first and pray it is not head-eyes
can you have a teammate shoot you and then let you kill scavs?
i guess so
yes you can but there is no need to really because like i said first bullet you will have pain effect, that task gets done without you even thinking about it
Nah
it's the best way to play! i could teach you, too.
rubles per minute income doing that?
scav for money. pmc for glory
i see
you pack your lunch for raids?
no way lol
it's actually really easy depending on how patient you are. it ain't no reserve, labs, or lighthouse
but customs is cool as heck
scavving customs is a meme
all the low levels at 12mins in raid lost as hell = free fence rep when I kill them😬
customs aint the move im bored
I do shooter born with the AGS in the fortress; it takes a few tries and I die a lot but eventually--itll kick off in dorms and its your time to shine 🤩
i got a pmc with the mounted mg towards crack last week as a pmc
big erect I am
too many hours on the map to finally have done it, but it was done 🖖
shot him through the trailer you walk up to next to mechanic
big b00letz
start of wipe when everyone goes to big red; no one has scopes
if y ou hope on those MGs and tryto spot movement in the windows its pretty fun hosing those things
also free recoil control skill
'ong he'z cheatin with hallbangz bruv' they said as they got to the main menu
What should I put on this
up to you but i wouldn't use it without flea market
eh i have lots of 556 mags and rounds so I wanna use them up killing scavs for xp
is the G28 a good gun for 297k? it comes modded already and i usually spend more than that modding other guns
you can sell back parts and change them, its not great stock
anything good from lvl 1 traders?
ig just any holo you like, not a ton of options for other attachments
and change gas block so it doesn't obstruct holo
What about this and throw a foregrip and laser on it?
hey guys i tryed to join a group but eveyone is muted.. they can hear me but i cant hear them.. can anyone help me?
when killing raiders how does it affect your karma
-
- or nothing
or if they kil la scav they get some value
no effect
no not really
what point is there to a decked out adar isnt it better to put the attachments on an m4a1
oh alr
adar can be really good imo
its cheap
easy to mod
and with just a little modding you can have like no recoil
and with good ammo
you can do good early game
i just figure single fire exaggerates all the problems with 556
good not great, its fun but not super effective
Adar with the same build as an m4 against eachother, the adar doesn’t compare
if by some miracle you can click at 800rpm, you can't aim while doing it
yeah
guys where do i get gas blocks for my m4
go to presets
go to the m4
and change the gasblock to the other one
then press find items
^ right click m4, edit presets, find one
Like this one?
you need the windham gas block
it doesn't show up under mechanics inventory, but if you search for it on the flea it'll pop up
Best places to farm more gas cans?
looks about the best you'll get without flea
hello i need a gorup to run with so i can level up please! im lvl 9.. 3 week old player
anyone want to run a few raids? lvl 16 and played for 3 months
oli towards the back wall can sometimes spawn some but not reliable
the 2x2 or 3x2?
personally id recommend lighthouse if youre comfortable with it
can loot 5 tech crates inside rogue camp alone
Should I sell this
Razor scopes are fucking chadded
great zoom option + works well with night vision
personally i keep all silencers except 9x19, holo sights, most foregrips with exceptions, some handguards, stocks and most of the scopes
only scopes i dont take are the Schmidt and Bendter cause zoom is huge and some lower end sniper scopes
man do some quests
it is around 80 to 90k on flea most of the times
like please do some quests
@slate copper don’t play that often and i do my quests
This is a good point. I can think of three off the top of my head, so i'll try to memorize em all and give this a try. Been running my scav on interchange and checking oli but like the other guy said its not reliable
explains that ig
because im like 16
and ive played for like 2 and a half weeks
rn im not playing like at all because of the heat tho
yeah i maybe play a few hours a week tbh
skier
whichever gives more xp
that'd be prapor
what do you have to do for prapor
he does have the lowest rep out of all 3
mark the van, same as with others
so its just the xp and stuff that changes
On The Survivalist Path - Tough Guy, can I use meds, after I have killed 3 scavs?
no
Nope
Ah right I don't gotta extract, good to know :D
the saving grace of jeager quests
can you not use bandages
yes
try not to heal until you complete quest @rigid light
wiki says "Off-raid healing does affect this quest."
sry wrong tag lol
@brittle stag ^^
Ah well that's a problem, had the quest for a while
i recommend trying to do it in one run
Of course :) Gonna go to mil camp there's always a couple scavs there
it should be possible if you dont encounter other players, I was lucky with this one cuz I spawned in village
and since I was tagged and cursed, scavs came at me
all I had to do was waiting them to open door 
i wanna pick therapist for chemical
i want that injector case
i NEED it i have a rig full of em and barely any stash space
do you have standard or eod @rigid light
standard, stash lvl 2
well skier wants 1 million to get his rep back
so you could just give the quest to skier, and buy the injector case instead of giving 1 mil to skier
or other way around
i have 5,5 mil
unsure how much injector is atm on flea
but true, i could just buy the case
skier gives grenade case, which you can sell it to add money into injector case
I hate this game >:(
what happened :( @brittle stag
wait i want the grenade case
u good?
Bro all these fucking snipers on woods >:(
oof
pmcs?
Yes.
But I did kinda choose for it to be difficult
Going iron sights on purpose is not easy
how's this build
eh, just go with pistol or cheap gun and nothing else, and try waiting in village houses, those crazy village scavs will rush to you from miles away
@brittle stag
it's seems nice, high ergo, just the recoil's high but you can't have everything
Yea but you see, going with anything other than the Mosin Infantry would be against my goal
oh, looks like we have something in common 
check out #weapon-modding for something more insightful
I have this RPK-16, is it good?
add rp1
where is a good place to find gas analyzer?
also how do i get dorms 206 key with no flea?
barter 7 meds to therapist
well, is there a guarenteed spawn anywhere? like machinery key?
no guaranteed spawn but if you search jackets enough you should find one try dorms as a scav might get lucky
Rate the run
waht map?
W
customs
where did u find gas an?
uh i cant remember
tech supply crates are probably best for finding them
thanks, so like the ones at fortress?
yes
k thank you
i find a ton in fileing cabnits
insane loot bro gj
interchange tech stores
Is this gun good?
i dont think any semi auto smg is good, id sell it
i think it's good for me personally because low recoil but it's literally just a glock pretty much
looking for a teammate
is it possible for me to get sniped in dorms all the way from the grenade launcher?
because i think i just had that happen
or was it like a
grenade launcher?
mounted gl is more likely but ig either could happen
yeah i think it was that
it sounds like bs
is it foggy?
which traders are easier to level?
Isn't level just based on money spend and your personal level?
sorry, should have clarified. Which traders are easier to increase rep with?
Got my first level 2 trader
Nice
Game changes so much with higher traders
You NA?
how do i get a bigger injectors case? i saw a streamer that had a bigger one
Is the docs case barter worth?
You don’t
Yes
Docs case can hold keys for your tasks and cash for vehicle extracts
Plus you can put some intel items in it
what about mechanics ammo box barter
Uhhh
this guy on youtube has a huge injectors case
mine only has 9 slots
You don’t
It was changed
Check the date of that video
oh ok i didnt know they changed it
?
Don’t remember off the top of my head
I think there close to the same price as buying one off flee
i wonder why they changed it, i feel like 9 slots is not enough sometimes
I found my second thermite as a scav but died
i am losing it
i am litterally out of roubles, i dont want to scav anymore, i cant
i've done 51 and survived 9 💀
If I'm buying a headset, which one should I get?
Are glasses important? If so, which one should I get?
3 losses in a row calls for a break for me
Glasses don’t matter to much and head sets are all preference
i think i should just uninstall this game. lol
You’ll get better
Oh?
lol just dying a lot to teams--- Fing Tarkov 😂
im very broke can anyone help me get some money?
Scav
Pick up everything
ik
i do that

rate the drip
taking all that with a lvl4 armor
bold
Watch yourself get 1 tapped with an Ash12 wearing that, like I did yesterday
Ew caiman
Same armor
Ulach is where it’s at
idk man. everytime i go with a slick or hex, i die
so you go with a lower tier armored... why?
lol
customs
i live more with lower tier idk.. i get tarkoved
do the run I linked you... customs isnt the best option
Try interchange or reserve
ive been finding too many tan ulachs LMFAOO
Once you go black...
So I just vendor them
do you need to finish friend from the west to unlock samples this wipe?
how do i make a cheap trader 1 adar
so black ppl cant be in russia?
you dont really
I kill 2 gigchads as a player scav because I have skill over them and I die to a MF PLAYER SCAV
outskilled by scav
Happens all the time bro dw you can be walking around with a tt pistol scav vest no backpack and still another player scav will kill you
scav on scav violence isnt super common, but it will become more common as wipe continues
Ew
your mad
Well I guess I did look like a pmc consiering im standing next to 3 bodys, holding a meta mutant and have comtac 4's a large backpack, and a really good helmet
I don’t only play the game for loot
you're*
is that not the main focus of the game
oh
I got enough for my gear sets
then you play customs ig
for scavs
only map i can think of were you might find a pmc
I main reserve
i wanna play it but idk where the loot is
Almost always someone in bunkers
wish that was the case for me
anyone down to run duos and help me get better at the game and give pointers while helping me do tasks or whatever you'd like? DM me if your down.
always rats in the bunker who dont come out until you walk by them
Nades
And just vibe in the main area
all these people saying scav violence
M67
m67
like i never die
use those and push the spots ig
next raid you well run into a hacker
stay off bad servers and you wont see many cheaters
naw i see no cheaters
Is high chance of misfire a idea bullet for 10% accuracy
say it again but slowly
hey does anybody know if sanitars keycard is worth it
worth what?
the cost
using or selling
its hit or miss
theres a lot of good spawns in there
if you dont run labs a lot or dont plan on doing the terragroup employee quest, then just sell it imo
alright, thanks
only for samples
honestly with only 1 use its ok for samples but not amazing
youre better off hitting med spawns and the drug lab on lighthouse or hitting the barter for black and running black
any tips for a new player anyone?
run factory over and over to get used to pvp and audio, you can buy a ump for 7 damascus scav knives and .45 acp fmj from ll1 peacekeeper for very cheap, its a very good weapon, all you need to put on it is a sight and a laser
That's a rather hardcore approach and I find it mostly results in tons of deaths and frustration/burnout. Better to get a foothold on the basics in other maps before jumping into the intense PvP
UMP is very good weapon though
Good tip
sure, imo its better to understand combat a little earlier and its kind of hard to do that in most maps because of how little interaction you get with other players compared to factory
i was using a silenced ump build with .45 AP and it was pretty bad
unless im just abd
bad*
user error
with AP?
how do you get ap?
yeah i used the ammo chart and figured it would be good
peacekeeper 3
was taking like multiple body shots to kill like 6-7
its an smg
I'd suggest getting at least a grip on movement, scav killing, the audio, etc. even in offline. I agree that it's better to understand combat earlier, but jumping in too early doesn't work too well
anyone with experience wanna hop on customs for a loot/pvp run? im level 28 but its my first wipe and feel like i could learn some more nuances to this ish
true, ive recommended my new friends to go into offline factory and practice against the ai until they feel comfortable to go into a real raid, kinda slipped my mind here
whenever you build a new gun practice on AI on factory
you will lose that shit so fast if you don't know how it handles
Unfortunately I think offline scavs are still bugged...
yea that is also true
there was a mission that was like get 20m or closer kills with a bolt action, so I took a mosin to factory with no armour and only a headset and it helped immensely with learning sound cues and such
and using a bolt action in such close quarters taught me a lot about using cover and quick peeking
factory is great for that, until arena comes out the game isnt like cod where youre dying and going again every 5 seconds, constantly learning from your mistakes, sometimes it takes up to an hour before you fuck up an engagement depending on your pathing and if you arent playing factory
I hope arena scav boss and scav wave defense isnt like cod zombies
Is this the chat to ask for people to help me out w/ actually playing Tarkov? I've been playing for a few weeks and I've so far only been playing with a friend who's busy like, half the time so, I dunno if this is the chat to ask for a battle buddy or nah
your just bad
is keycard with blue marking good for anything?
nice
is there any reason to do Colleagues Part 3 over Sadist? I have to give a blue and green keycard, thats a lot of money for a quest
WTF
Hey everyone so im new to tarkov and im loving playing it but im now running low on roubles and idk what im doing wrong im level 6 with a few guns but not much else, ive been getting slaughtered in factory and im just hoping for some advice for a beginner
Pro tip for getting rubles
stop playing factory
Will do 😂
im not very very new but i also dont know everything it seems that i always end up in a hole rubles wise
any like tips or routes to get efficient rubles
learn a route on a map that you like, lighthouse has some of the best loot rn but any map except factory works if you have a good idea of what to loot
yeah but factory is kinda bad for money and gear tbh and lighthouse is just warfare everytime i go near the main area
factory is great for pvp but yea not great for money
the way i got most my rubles was off reserve scav runs, i have made around 30,000,000 off that alone this wipe
yeah reserve is it with scavs i always have a good run just dont know where the expensive loot is
if you want i can run you through what i do
how so??
we can do a vc where we both do a scav run or i can just tell you
just tell me cant vc atm
let me just draw it in paint rq and ill dm it to you
k
fuck do i do with kite gunpowder, should i sell it or keep it
best bet on lighthouse if youre having issues with pvp is pickup the hillside house key, the store key, and a merin key and run stashes and extract at southern landslide or path to shoreline depending on spawn
alrright i'll keep it
it’s kinda of a later game quest and you can always buy them
you can use them to craft ammo like 7.62x39 BP or 5.45 Igolnik, you can craft it into hawk(red gun powder) which you can use for M61 and some other ammo
you should keep all gunpowders in my opinion because you can craft all the top tier ammo's with them
alright thanks for telling me dude
ooh, i have no idea how good that is but damn
basically top tier ammo like big shiggy said
Wouldn’t say igolnik is top tier
it goes through anything in two shots, if not one
Sure if you have nothing else, it is good, but i would rather bs over it
i mean i can see where he is coming from cuz with enough damage fall off you can survive a 1 tap to the head
well i find its easier to craft igolnik than barter/find BS
after penetrating a class 2+ helmet it won’t have enough damage to one tap head
yeah, but in terms of spraying its good, and cheep. better to go through the armour and cause a bleed than just do blunt damage with 5.45
it is for 5.45
no
which map spawns the most moonshine?
hideout
can someone help me do extortionist? I have the key, I just can't get to the cabin and extract without dying.
can i get some help pls i keep dying and i cant get any of my quests done, idk what to do
you need to practice
anyone know why when i go into offline and set scavs to high and turn scav bosses on, nothing spawns?
Damn is that a new map
Couple people down for some reserve runs?
Did u turn pve on ? xD
weird
Wow, i have the same bug, i tried to do a coop on factory with horde of scav but none spawned lol
Must be on the servers end

i would except for the stupid no scavs on offline bug ya kno
the servers have been pretty rough ping wise i keep disconnecting
like dcing more often then not in a game
and usually when im vulnerable 😂🤣
if i reload m700 10 round mag do i level up sniper skill?
dr strange is that u 😮
What’s the key to unlock the safes on lighthouse
USEC first safe key
how do i join a chat
If i have marked room for dorms which is found in raid, which labss keycard do i barter for?
Trying to find salewas for shortage can someone help me
@buoyant jacinth I just learned this today but if you have medstation, create a salewa and it will count.
Woods med camp best place
Just found 2 and am not looking for them and my duo looted half the place
who was ur duo
yoinks
i just bought tarkov, is there a way to find these quest items easily? this is my second day playing
also i keep running out of time trying to find the exits to these maps
12 woods raids in a row without shutrman spawn epic poggers
Learning the maps is the hard part, once you know them then you can easily find the quest items using the wiki.
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

took me upwards of 35-40 raids to get him. Took the good 'ole woods sherpa along to try and help, but that man never spawned. Took a few hours of nonstop woods to get him. I hate him so much.
@vivid ocean I need the stuff to get a generator then😂
does reloading m700 level up sniper skill?
yes
How do I get to lvl 15 fast??
finish quests
reloading all snipers level sniper
how can i tell a pmc from a scav?
having like 5 people shooting me all the time is annoying as hell
clothing gear voice etc.
i literally just got the game so thats not helpful
yeah tbh i got better at differentiating over time i dont really think it’s something you can get overnight
they said shoot the guys in military gear but theyre wearing the military gear
they behave a certain way, they sound different, they wear different clothes, thats it really
i guess for the most part scavs or ai scavs talk when they’re around you
the geared scavs that shoot at you may be bosses or their guards? maybe even raiders tbh
way easier to be a pmc than a scav
is there a way to mark teammate? hard as hell to tell anyone apart
like why isnt there an indicator that said person is on my squad
like a green dot over their head or something.
no
i like scavs cause there’s no investment and dying means nothing
you can have your mate wear a specific armband
you invest playtime of which you have a finite allocation of
well if you put it that way lmao
well thats dumb as hell. how do they not indicate someone partied with you
i think it’d be even more weird if there was an indicator for your group tbh
besides no squad indicator is one of the precious few advantages of a solo fighting against squads
looting and changing gear all the time makes it hard as fuck to distinguish who is who
communicate better
I really liked that mechanic. The added element of communication needed for coordination really balances out large teams
But i noticed since i got lvl 5 sniper, i reload like 10 times and it doesnt even go up 0.1
honestly most of the runs i do with groups they don’t even change their gear
reload more than 10 times
Bruh
I found it way easier to carry a sniper and shoot like 2 scavs a raid, that would usually max it out
I’ve been using sniper for the past 20 raids it still feels like it takes forever even killings scavs
shoot em as many times as you can, it's the hits that raise xp - not kills
do the boxes refresh in the raid?
no
what boxes
anytime i try to loot, theres nothing in the boxes or bags
or stashes, i stumbled across some of those too
if you are pmc, containers that are already open are already looted by someone else
so i have to pvp to get any money
no?
bro this shit is fucking confusing
you can do stash runs in the bigger maps!
some containers are just empty too, its not common, but it happens
it's pretty common
filing cabinets have to be the biggest offenders of being empty i swear
It’ll happen and yea there’s a chance that the area is looted but u could just be having bad luck if u get like 4 empty containers in a row
its not that common, most of the time you find at least a little something, 2:39 in the morning so i might phrase things a little off lol
how long does it usually take to get a sherpa when requested?
it says due to heavy load ab a week or two lmao
wow lol
for a ticket that is im sure someone experienced will be willing to help you
long time to have someone explain basic info
theres other people willing to help you in the sherpa discord
id be down to help but ive completed so many quests today im pooped
you could try one of them while you wait for a sherpa
or just research yourself; here, google, youtube, reddit, any community ever
reading vs actual hands on are two completely different things my guy. obviously ive been reading or i wouldnt have bought the game
well if no one is available rn to help i think just going head on will be your best bet
doing solo runs isn’t too bad
i think focusing on the quests early on is better than looting
prapor just wants you to kill scavs and collect shotguns tbh
ive been trying to find a pocket watch for like 4 hours lol
?wiki checking
oh yeah key quests are a big stop if you don’t have them
the wiki says where it is
!wiki checking
Checking is a Quest in Escape from Tarkov.
Quest data
PickUp
Yes
Related quests
Leads to:
Shootout Picnic
Delivery from the Past
Heh
So funny story the pocket watch isnt a random loot drop
Have a look in that site
😉
It’ll give you the location marked in the map
sizeable majority does just fine doing research by themselves, everyone goes through the noob phase but not everyone needs their hands held to pull themselves out of it
all it takes is a push!
Honestly a lot of the quests you wouldn’t have any idea where they are if you don’t google them
no shame in having to have your hand held but if circumstances demand that you must wake 1 week to get stuff done perhaps try doing it yourself
Add a breathing mechanic to tarkov I need to remember to breathe mid fight
there is hold breath mechanic
Breathing is for the weak
i think my first ever raid i went straight to resort on shoreline and stayed there the entire raid cause i was confused lmfao
Oxygen is temporary being a chad is forever
can you do the quests as a scav?
Only find and transfer tasks
that way its little risk
Like find a morphine in raid kinda task
oh okay
i think you should just hop in a raid lmao
Otherwise theres no point in going into raid as a pmc
lol i keep shooting scavs by accident as a scav but pmc seems easier because you get time to actually do things
is there a way to interact with a scav to make sure its a scav? like talk to em
do the “come here” signal at them they’ll talk back
also your karma goes down for shooting or killing them if you care for that
idk what that is but ill wiki it lol
I love how a slug can one tap me from 70 meters away
as a scav just avoid everyone
run or shoot back if someone shoots at you
F1 to voiceline and announce your presence so other playerscavs don't get spooked
if you sense presence but they aren't responding to your F1 voicelines consider leaving or shooting him first
whats karma, not seeing anything on the wiki about it
fence rep
Avoid everyone and shoot first die last
i think reserves the only map you should even have your finger on the trigger as a scav cause of raiders
Scav wiggle
yeah there’s a lot of versatility in finding friends or enemies using voip is a big option too
they're only on train yard and d2
all other places it's glucose goons which you shouldn't shoot
yeah it’s weird they let you walk up to them then you notice the zsh’s and guns and then 💥
so i dont lose karma if i dont actually kill the scav? or does even 1 shot at them lose karma
if they die because of you(r gunshots) you lose karma
but even if you don't end up killing them the ai scav will turn hostile and so will any others in the area
and you can't shoot back without losing karma
on the other hand if a bunch of ai scavs are shooting at someone feel free to participate
thanks for the help
ugh lost all my beginner loot im quit new to the game
i have money to get some things but just spawn in and die
tarkov poverty sucks esp when you lose your gear
until wipe day
everyone goes through that phase
when is wipe
thursday
ok
why are wifi cameras so costly the markup is insane
💀
just buy from mech
The actual answer is in a few months still
or whoever sells it
gotta do the quest first sadly 😔
which one
informed means armed
it’s not bad just kiba and that blue connex by the bridge on customs
mech sells it
i gotta do that quest before i unlock it!
so im spending almost 100k on each camera when i could’ve bought it for 40k?
yes
rip
smh
I hate that pun but I also love it
Question of the day: Why does every tarkov player have Hunt Showdown?
TIL I'm not a tarkov player
welp as soon as i get that quest done im one step closer to getting the m2 sword
mite need a protector to hold my hand lmao
Correct you are not a tarkov player you are a tarkov enjoyer
I lied no one enjoys this game
This is the only game i enjoy
This is the only game
one of the games of all time
r6 is one of the games of all time
Can anyone tell me why the taxes are so dang high on this? I have intel 3
because pistol cases arent worth that much
they've always been overpriced to their value
Ah I always thought it was based on max price and min price, guess I'll save them up for a weapons case trade in
Bro your name 💀
is farming part 4 worth completing? I've got 2/3 of the found in raid GPUs, but I could do with selling them for the $$ also
I think so
it's just ~1 mill rubels anyhow
and it leads to a bunch of stuff you need later
reap-IR for gunsmith, 4 bitcoins
- ~150k quest rewards for the next 2 quests
If you are going for kappa but i think money is not very hard to make so i just turn everything in
very worth it
tasks after it give reap ir, and another bitcoins
thermal sight
thermal
very expensive
ooh i see
~600k sight I think?
damn
beginners assistance for a reason
true
r6 is one of the games
Do these spawn on interchange Goshan back isles?
yo i have 16mil worth of random stuff in my stash and im worried if i sell it i might need some of it, should I sell it or keep it
use the power of the wiki :)
there's a few quests after that that gift bitcoins so if you want a weapons case id say yeah
that barter is horrid though
much cheaper to sell the BC and go for the mechanic electronics barter
true
but the quest after that just wants you to grab 5 wires and 5 capacitors and 2 bitcoins are yours
yes, but you can also sell the bitcoins and end up with more money ;)
just buy off the flee when you need one
i dont think they are super expensive
but don’t sell them
I'm sadly still level 14 so using scav to find stuff for hideout when I'm trying not to rage with my PMC hah
thats just one more lvl :)
yup, I'm close, couple more quests I'm turning in tomorrow, hopefully, and I'll be 15 hah
do some quests
and pvp in factory with a cheap build
for capturing outposts do you have to be in the pier or can you sit outside the pier and shoot people in the pier
fml just did a scav run and got so much shit, left a bit too late from looting and ran out of time just as i was approaching my exit
my fault for being greedy
loothouse?
