other maps suck

[rigid light]

[severe echo]

I mean I never got really past lvl 5 I think

But now I have been trough 1 till like 11 now without pouch lmao

Has been epic

[fervent ermine]

hardcore gamer

[rigid light]

i think it's good to get the hang of the game before attempting those challenges

[bronze venture]

u can just reset ur account and get it all back

[severe echo]

23rd sept

[mint light]

why did u do that bruh

[rigid light]

yeah but scavs can get pretty trigger happy on reserve
i should now, i killed fellow scavs there out of pure fear

[mint light]

my scav has a 50 survival streak lol

90% survival rate

just dont go near the other players

[severe echo]

Didn’t want to play the game > resetted account deleted all items > wanted to play the game > 0 shit start here I go

[mint light]

or kill them

[dusty mortar]

Whats going on?

[rigid light]

sometimes other players go near you

[bronze venture]

connection to server got messed up but you havent gotten disconnected from the game yet

[mint light]

murder them

[severe echo]

Started with scav loot, getting everything I could > killed some dudes with decent gear > snowballed > got rekt by a duo once > been kinda down hill since then, waiting for my bounce

[dusty mortar]

Been like this for 5 min now

Can I restart and reconnect?

[rigid light]

but my karma
i get 10% off of vehicle extracts

[mint light]

i have almost max rep

[severe echo]

Thing about no pouch is meds, everytime I raid I spend like 30k on yellow med cheese kek

[mint light]

[spare acorn]

no one in the whole labs lobby except a guy camping red room

soon as i peek to check and he blasts ps12b

[rigid light]

oof

[spare acorn]

didnt make a single sound entire raid

[rigid light]

could've looted everything else

but what do i know

[spare acorn]

raid just started

3 minutes in

[fervent ermine]

died to a chad

[spare acorn]

giga chad

skilled at the game

[dusty mortar]

Battlestate servers are dogshit

I went into a raid with this and now the raid is just not existent

[mint light]

server rollback

[whole thistle]

the gun stockpiler

[spare acorn]

skill issue ong bruh

[rigid light]

what's loaded into the ak-74

[spare acorn]

axel tv is currently voiping to a russian cheater in the ground on reserve

[rigid light]

also no splints

[spare acorn]

like not in the underground but IN THE GROUND

[mint light]

he gotta be a bp user

[rigid light]

i wanna know

also why 4 spare mags

[dire monolith]

Maybe he likes pvping

[tall widget]

do respirators actually do anything?

[spare acorn]

why not

[rigid light]

weight and inventory space that's why

[clear flume]

nah

[unreal horizon]

no, at least not yet

[tall widget]

k thx so ill just sell them

[unreal horizon]

if you care about long term questing you need to keep 4 FIR

but they're common enough you're cool to sell

[fervent ermine]

i bring 5 with 308 guns

[rigid light]

are the mags at least 1x1

[bold kernel]

hey can anyone help me im lvl 2 i account reseted a bit ago i was lvl 3 anyone have tips or want to play im not braindead but im not the best

[fervent ermine]

no

20 rounders full of m62

[rigid light]

are you hulk

[bronze venture]

is randy random a rimworld reference

[rigid light]

maybe i'm just stingy with my mags, bringing 2 spare ones and a few bullets to repack

[rigid light]

i made the name independently of rimworld but i guess it is now

[fervent ermine]

i bring 5 mags and 80 spare m62

i shoot alot

[unreal horizon]

you're kind of a brick if you need that much

unless of course you're spraying people's corpses to assert dominance, which is justified

[dusty mortar]

PP

[mint light]

ah hell nah

[bronze venture]

most people dont run 5 45 russian because the ammo neccessary to 2-3 shot kill people isnt easily available

https://tarkov-ballistics.com/charts/shots_to_damage_by_class.html
notice that PP is 10 shots on torso to kill level 5 armor guaranteed. and the better ammo like BT and BS an PPBS is extremely rare and not easily purchasable

[fervent ermine]

Igolnik isn’t rare lmao

Neither is bt or bs

They are insanely common

[spare acorn]

i poopied my pants dad

[mint light]

they just suck

[fervent ermine]

Just hit head

[rugged badge]

you can find 5.45 BT, BS often in ammo containers in 30 stacks

[mint light]

with igolnik

[dusty mortar]

It is what I have laying around, any suggestions to use instead?

[fervent ermine]

With bs smart man

[bronze venture]

lots of people use 7.62 NATO because you can buy good rounds from it from low level peace keeper. best ammo is russian 7.62 BP, available after grenadier is complete from prapor

[dusty mortar]

What gun do I use for that?

[clear flume]

low level pk

bruh

its pk3

for m80

[fervent ermine]

M62 pk3

[bronze venture]

isnt m80 at level 3? level 23?

BS and PPBS can fail to one shot to the head (even with penetration) at 50m

on the other hand, dont over think it ammo and guns, just run whatever you will get frags

[fervent ermine]

Why are you using 5.45 for 50m lmao

It is a caliber basically only good for cqc

[bronze venture]

sure, im just explaining to the new guy different ammos and their short comings

[tender cairn]

yall how do i make good money

[mint light]

scav spam

[tender cairn]

its like 20 minutes tho

[mint light]

dont murder scavs and get intel center

i have like a 6 minute scav timer same with most ppl

[agile onyx]

u look like the guys from Army Of Two

[tender cairn]

ok

[mint light]

or u can just do like rfb rat rig kits

on lighthouse i hit merin and expansion and make big bucks

bitcoins n shit

[tender cairn]

i dont have access to rfb

im lvl 6

[dreamy fossil]

can sm 1 help me do friend from the west pt 1 all i need is 2 more usec kills

[unreal horizon]

gotta go solo we'd just steal them

[mint light]

then the guns u have are cheap anyway

just run ur scavs

[agile edge]

so the pouch items and the special slots you cant lose?

[dusty mortar]

yeah

[limpid wadi]

nor the armband and melee

But scavs won't have an armband slot

[red bough]

can someone help me learn to play a bit? if you can be paitent with me lmao, new as hell to the game

[gleaming thunder]

When you start the game you run cheap loadouts and shit gear. As people level, they start running more expensive, better gear. How do you scale your income to afford that better gear reliably? Or is it just a case of surviving more and being better to make investments last longer?

[unreal horizon]

pretty much what you said

better gear = dying less = making more

to an extent obviously

[gleaming thunder]

Yeah. I feel like i get a lot more money now i'm level 30, hideout crafts and flea market helps a lot, and knowing what stuff is worth keeping

Don't imagine i'd get to a point where i was comfortable running a 500k gun though

[unreal horizon]

just takes time, eventually you stop caring about money/gear

[slate copper]

yeah

[gleaming thunder]

Don't really care about the gear I run as it's like 150k for a kitted out ak-101, tier 4 armour, tier 3 helmet, etc. But that's because I can make the money back easily. Usually hover around 1-2 mil, but see some people with insane amounts of money and cases.

[slate copper]

unless the guy has flashes and is spamming them

im salty af

[gleaming thunder]

Guess intel center 3 helps a lot with the fee reductions

[unreal horizon]

it does

hideout cringe tho so i dont bother

[gleaming thunder]

https://giphy.com/gifs/hero0fwar-tim-and-eric-5wWf7GMbT1ZUGTDdTqM

Side note, what are the best red dots? Using the delta point but don't like the reticle

[unreal horizon]

heavily preference but i'd eotech is the favorite

[clear flume]

aimpoint pro

[gleaming thunder]

Ah yeah the holo

I do like the aimpoint

[unreal horizon]

i forget the full name but there's a small circular one, SRS or something? its just 1 dot and very clean

[dusty mortar]

Keep or sell?

[mint light]

its a good gun but the durability hurts

[slate copper]

repair it

and mod it a little

[mint light]

cant rly

honesty just buy a new one

[slate copper]

can you even buy rds

or am i thinking of another gun

[mint light]

mechanic 3

[brave trellis]

does anyone know if i can just have someone shoot my gzhel to make it under 50% durability or do i have to find one

[mint light]

u can have ur homie shoot it

[brave trellis]

aight thanks

[limpid wadi]

make sure they use bad ammo, though

ammo with high penetration will just get rid of your durability instead 😆

[unreal horizon]

if they tap you with flechette it should be enough

[mint light]

makarov

fr

[slate copper]

flechette is op

not even kidding now

like its actually to good

[lyric timber]

Anyone trying to show me around interchange i'm pretty new first wipe only level 15 be chill and have a vibe

[unreal horizon]

almost as good as 8.5mm

[slate copper]

i killed a guy with a hex and altyn in 3 shots

[unreal horizon]

yeah

it 3 taps anyone

which is busted

but 8.5mm 2 taps and you get a full dura armor

[slate copper]

now im going to keep running factory till i kill another chad

[dense relic]

where could i get a hella lot of food for jaeger quest?

[topaz forge]

interchange, goshan shelves

[dense relic]

sounds like a grind since i only know custom, lighthouse and factory

[topaz forge]

this spot

its worth it

hella food spawns there

except the iskras

[slate copper]

lots

[dense relic]

anyone willing to take me through the map and show me the good spots and extracts?

[topaz forge]

run it on your scav some, i cant

[mint light]

lol

u be lyin

[slate copper]

i didn’t believe it till today

but its fucking insane

[unreal horizon]

use 8.5 tho

its better

trust

[mint light]

its overrated

[slate copper]

probably

but

[topaz forge]

i end people with flechette

or i did

for setup

havent touched a shotgun since

[slate copper]

i need to get a 5 man on factory

[frozen cipher]

tagilla enjoyer

i killed ur homie

[mint light]

most braindead ai in the game

[tender cairn]

alright how do i stop losing money fam

[topaz forge]

live more

[slate copper]

lighthouse

or reserve

[unreal horizon]

lighthouse with no keys, reserve if you do

then save for lighthouse keys lol

tbh lighthouse keys are dirt cheap for how great they are

[stray scroll]

do npc scavs also lean left to right when you do it as a scav?

[mint light]

yes

[stray scroll]

aight tnx

[graceful marsh]

Anyone know why this won’t work for gunsmith 8

[dawn geyser]

You have the SFG grip

You need Fortis

[graceful marsh]

Thanks !!!

[olive bough]

Hey kwon after ur done here, check MM for me thx

[dusty mortar]

I like how whenever I search for a quest I get these guys telling me its a hard quest and that I should pay them

[topaz forge]

yikes

[whole thistle]

"a lot of skill and patience"
dawg its just expensive 💀

[fervent ermine]

It takes a lot of skill to kick a door down

Honestly why cant i just impact nade a wooden door

[whole thistle]

c2 when

[dusty mortar]

We have a shotgun with breach in its name and cant use it on wooden doors

Its a shame

[whole thistle]

still dont have the breaching rounds tho

[dusty mortar]

Why does Big Pipe target Pscavs and not normal scavs?

[snow solstice]

how can i practice besides scav? is practice mode actually useful?

[cunning shadow]

its useful if you need to learn the maps or how scavs behave

[snow solstice]

how scavs behave? i thought scavs are all players

[cunning shadow]

[mint light]

no

[brittle coral]

i need to do Taks like kill 6 pmcs on factory in the office area but i am only lvl 15 and i dont know if i have any chance to do that task when there are players wearing lvl 5 and 6 armor and good guns while i have beginner stuff xD what should i do

[bold kernel]

What’s the best way to kill rouges

[reef spoke]

You have a chance, you just need to play smarter.

[brittle coral]

the word smart and me doesnt work together

[reef spoke]

Grenades are gonna be your best friend but things like PS 7.62x39 , flechete 12 gauge shells, or 45 ACP (fmj from an ump) will serve you well.

While you will run into chungish thunder chad every so often, most guys don't run more than t3 in factory

[bold kernel]

just go to sky bridge go prone and wait for people coming up the stairs haha

it counts too

[low trellis]

sell?

[brittle coral]

i only have traders lvl 2 cant get flechette

[brittle coral]

i would say keep and mod when u are lvl 15

but you could sell

[brittle coral]

ohhhhh

makes sense

[reef spoke]

you don't need a whole lot of it, just a couple rounds then top of with 7mm or such to keep your cost low

Remeber "first in , last out" for ammo.

[brittle coral]

they are expensive tho O.o

[brittle coral]

ok

[reef spoke]

gotta spend money to make money.

[brittle coral]

ok

[bold kernel]

Lucky I’m not even level 15 yet

[mint light]

oh hey tower

[reef spoke]

you'll get there, just keep at it and focus on getting through your raids rather than getting out with "a lot"

Sup Max.

[mint light]

i feel like i havent seen u here in a few weeks

[reef spoke]

Yeah i've been lurking but not saying much

[low trellis]

I accidentally just spawned into a factory game instead of woods, killed 2 pmcs and an ai scav and gtfo looted a helmet and gun, quick 1.5k xp though lmao

[mint light]

what a g

[low trellis]

for how bad I am I feel good about that lol

first time I've seen one of these.

[mint light]

whoever made that helmet is weird

[low trellis]

haha, looks like something out of star wars.

probably somewhat the intention

[mint light]

its a reference to mandalorian

[low trellis]

makes sense then

[somber rain]

nice

[brittle coral]

okay i wanna do the task on factory now with the office thingy and killing pmcs but i need someone that maybe helps me with it like guides me or comes with me xD

[restive oxide]

can anyone help me get an rsass for quest gunsmith :CCCCC

[bold kernel]

possibly

can’t check rn but im not sure if i can grab more than one in one restock

[prime comet]

unfrotuantely i sell my dogtags so i cant barter for it

10/10 english

[scenic nova]

Can anyone help me kill sanitar

[dusty mortar]

Accidentally killed Gluhar hahaha

Does he have good loot that I missed out on?

[clear flume]

yes

very good

[dusty mortar]

Ah shame

[pastel current]

you'd have to kill 6 guards anyways

[dusty mortar]

Alright good to know

I got shot at in the dark and threw a nade

Didnt even know gluhar was near the pawns building

This thing good?

[lime yoke]

If I bring an item into a raid and extract with it will it get FiR?

[dusty mortar]

Nope needs to be found in raid

As the name implies

[lime yoke]

Dang. I mean that makes sense 😂

I just can’t find the damn car Meds for my weekly anywhere

[dusty mortar]

I usually go Reserve for meds

[lime yoke]

Like 40 scav runs and I’m only at 3/5, I finally found 2 but then there was a scav traitor camping extract 🤦‍♂️

[pale zinc]

Can I put a suppressor on this

[bold kernel]

yes

[formal rivet]

can i sell caiman helmet in flea? havent unlocked it yet

[bold kernel]

one of the first guns you can supress

[pale zinc]

Its not coming up in linked search

[bold kernel]

no you can’t you can get the attachments for the caiman though

it’s the rotor 336 supressor that skier sells

[formal rivet]

so its worth keeping it? could sell it for 90k

[bold kernel]

if you want the money sell if you wanna run it go for it!

[formal rivet]

alrighty

[bold kernel]

it’s a level 4 helmet so it’s not that bad tbh

[abstract dome]

That's the one you want...

[mint light]

pilad

[tender cairn]

yall why is it so hard to get this stupid pocketwatch brah

[mint light]

it isnt

[pale zinc]

[tender cairn]

[mint light]

just rush it and insta extract

[pastel granite]

im new at this game

can someone teach me

[lime yoke]

How am I finding more fuel containers on woods than car med kits 😂

[solar cloak]

Is offline still broken?

[proud pumice]

several questions:

1. If I pre-order the game, will I be able to play immediately, or will I have to wait?
2. Does the standard edition give me access to all maps?
3. How many maps are there, and how well does the game run?

[grim scarab]

1. Yes. The game is in open beta.
2. Yes.
3. Like all games it depends on your computer and your performance settings ingame.

[drifting bison]

8 maps

[proud pumice]

tysm

[solid aurora]

standard edition gives access to all current maps, while eod edition gives access to all dlcs in the future

[proud pumice]

what kind of maps are there

[tropic ferry]

how do i finish early tasks? i always keep dying because i keep running into people

[solid aurora]

would have to search to see all of them but definitely streets of tarkov as the main one

[pearl rune]

Yep

[proud pumice]

also what is the official site for purchasing the game

i saw escapefromtarkov.com and escapefromtarkov.org

which is real

[mint light]

escapefromtarkov.com

[proud pumice]

tysm

are the other sites scam ones or something\

[mint light]

prolly

[pale zinc]

rate the run

[pearl rune]

W

[pale zinc]

I made a truce with a pmc after we got in a fight and he let me get the task in tarcone but i didnt like his attitude so I put a round in his head from the balcony while he was looking out the door lmao

Thats what 4 days of no successful pmc runs does to a mf

[mint light]

he was also a timmy

[pale zinc]

he sounded like an ass so i dropped him

[dusty mortar]

Based

Whats the best type of frag?

[mint light]

impact

or vogs

[echo kayak]

you can kill the first two rogues with only a x2

and get a x6 off the guns usually

not a huge fan of the pilaf myself

[pale zinc]

one horse away 😏

[civic scaffold]

good scav run??\

[echo kayak]

is the rig full?

[civic scaffold]

yes

[echo kayak]

you can loot more rogues if you just strip the guns

[civic scaffold]

those were all the rouges i found

[echo kayak]

where are you running?

[civic scaffold]

lighthouse

[dusty mortar]

Anything im missing?

[echo kayak]

id drop the car

[civic scaffold]

a bag??

[echo kayak]

also yes, a bag

amd tbh if youre gonna use a 2x2 of heals just use a grizzly and animation cancel

[dusty mortar]

Dont have the space for a grizzly

[civic scaffold]

true, also get a fresh cms

[dusty mortar]

Oh yes thanks

[civic scaffold]

drop ibueprofeun and splin and afak

[echo kayak]

you can fit a grizzly and a cms in your butt

[civic scaffold]

well he would have no extra ammo

[ruby adder]

A spare bit of food/water incase you get unlucky in raid & Don't find any

[echo kayak]

pocket the ammo

ammo costs lest than cms and grizz

ohh hes carrying m62s

jesus

[civic scaffold]

can u buy m80 off of flea??

[echo kayak]

the hell you gona need 4 mags of m62s for

[dusty mortar]

Filled with M80

Flea was just empty of M80s

So I grabbed the M62s out of my box

[pure flower]

Should I keep backpacks for space or is it a waste of space ? Curious on how I should go about it as my stash is full

[echo kayak]

put bags inside of bags

[dusty mortar]

Put backpacks into each other

[civic scaffold]

but bags inside of otjer bags

[bold kernel]

some backpacks also have more space then they take!

[dusty mortar]

Im full on all, dont plan to stay that long

[bold kernel]

i wouldn’t stack backpacks tbh you could always just buy more

[echo kayak]

i keep anything above a berk

[bold kernel]

🤥

[pure flower]

Got it thanks everyone xP still learning the game lol

[dusty mortar]

[dusty mortar]

Just keep going

[dusty mortar]

[echo kayak]

[dusty mortar]

Well where are they

[mint light]

throw at enemy

hit them

[echo kayak]

i found my first colored lab card today

[dusty mortar]

Well if he hits a wall he can hit behind cover with the frags

[mint light]

impact grenade frags do nothing

u have to hit people pretty dead on with impacts or they live

[dusty mortar]

Oh damn

[echo kayak]

i just realized

[mint light]

ive been slammed by impacts before and just ate them

[echo kayak]

the house boss on lighthouse dropped me the most busted ass mdr

[jaunty osprey]

Hello, anyone willing to help a newbie? I’m pretty broke at this point I can’t find my way around very well and every group I join insakills me when we load in. I’m pretty confused and at a loss on this one.

[dawn geyser]

If you're looking for a teacher/someone to guide you in-raid ; you can check out #sherpa-info . They're official volunteers that will gladly teach you the game - They use a ticket system so there may be a tad bit of a wait time.

Alternatively, on the Sherpahub discord you may navigate to their “Looking for group” channel to find non-official sherpas that are offering help.

Unless you really are just looking for a teamate

[jaunty osprey]

Thanks that doesn’t really help tho

[whole thistle]

Just don't use the in game lfg

Barely any team killers in the discord

[jaunty osprey]

Gotcha ty m8

[low trellis]

lol bruh happened to me like 3 times early on in this game, never again

[jaunty osprey]

Lol I’ve lost like most my starting stash

[whole thistle]

You can always do scav runs for getting a bit of loot with no risk

[clear flume]

just dont shoot other scavs

[low trellis]

other than the stress of a player scav killing you or coming across a pmc.

[clear flume]

as a scav

[low trellis]

Player Scavs have not been playing fair the last few days. Must be people who don't need the rep, etc.

[whole thistle]

Most people who kill other scavs are just new players who don't know they shouldn't

[low trellis]

ehhh, I wanted to believe that early on in the game, but it's gotten kind of ridiculous the last few days.

[jaunty osprey]

Thanks for the advice guys it’s Been a rough road lol

[whole thistle]

There's no reason to waste rep if you know what it is

[austere hound]

Yet plenty of people do it

[low trellis]

^^ right lol

I really don't know the argument trying to be made here

Plain and simple, lots of player scavs out there killing other scavs this weekend, and I doubt more than 25 percent are newbs

[whole thistle]

I'm just saying don't be pissed about it, it's usually a newbie

Not trying to say that it's not happening lol

Fake news

[fair trench]

im thinking about getting the game are there any tips someone can give me

[abstract dome]

Don't.

😂

[fair trench]

already got that one

[abstract dome]

Prepare to die a lot, stash sorting, hating the game but loving it at the same time.

[topaz forge]

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

this website is your best friend

[abstract dome]

And that ^^^

https://eft-ammo.com/ Worth a mention too.

https://eft-ammo.com/ammo-graph - If you don't wanna scroll all the time. 🙂

[fair trench]

thats alot of shit to look at

[abstract dome]

Enjoy haha.

[topaz forge]

it is, but once you understand a little bit more, the ammo makes a lot more sense and youll know theres only a few you should really be looking at

[abstract dome]

I've just offloaded quite a bit of ammo that I had hoarded.

[tight pagoda]

How do you set a keybind to none/not set?

[abstract dome]

Set it to a known keybind then set the one you replaced back to default. And the one you don't want binding will show as not assigned. Might be an easier way though.

[fair trench]

how does it work with the items like what if i lose all my shit am i just screwed or what

[abstract dome]

Insurance does help with some things. if you have good stuff though prepare to lose it lol.

[vapid flume]

wtf is gluhar lazerinh me through bushes right after leaving spawn

ds asf ai

[jagged ibex]

How should i learn the maps?

[mint light]

mapgenie.io website and offline mode/scavving

[abstract dome]

Yep or download some 3D maps from tarkov wiki too. Map genie is outdated on some bits isn't it? Stashes etc?

[mint light]

dont think so, and if it is outdated its on minute things

[abstract dome]

I remember seeing something on reddit not long back. I don't usually take that too serious though lol.

[pale zinc]

I was doing delivery from the past smh

[fair trench]

what should be my goal my first raid?

[lusty glacier]

which gun can fit the MOST tactical devices?

[mint light]

live

[fair trench]

someone get this guy a mic hes hilarious

[mint light]

what

your goal is to live

[abstract dome]

It's easier said than done when you're new but they're right lol. Why did you die, what could you have done different. What ammo/armour are you using.

[fair trench]

no really

[abstract dome]

Games a clusterfuck.

[mint light]

ur going to die a lot

you will not live your first raid, but thats the objective

[uneven yoke]

what are you guy's thoughts on me using windowed mode for tarkov

[mint light]

cool

[uneven yoke]

i have a 4k monitor but id ont have dual monitor and i would really love to access a map at the same time or sum shi

[abstract dome]

Each to their own I suppose.

[mint light]

i wouldnt

[uneven yoke]

pain

[digital flicker]

6b2 or paca?

[mint light]

homie just be lyin

[proper radish]

which is better against armor?

[proper radish]

👌

[mint light]

855, it still wont pen anything tho

[wise ether]

m855 but its still dogshit

[proper radish]

what else could i get then?

not really any other options i can buy is there

[mint light]

nothing

just dont use 5.56

[proper radish]

allright i guess i won't use my gun either then

[mint light]

use 7.62

[olive oriole]

just axe them a question

[proper radish]

only got a knife 😔

[wise ether]

what level

i know youre low

[proper radish]

1 im new

[wise ether]

oh shit

i mean

[olive oriole]

OP sks is a good rifle i use and im level 5

[wise ether]

you could use your m4

but m855 sucks

i just would not expect to kill them easily

[proper radish]

i got a couple ak's its fine i just wanted to use the m4 i have

[olive oriole]

your doing better than me spose

[proper radish]

is 5.45x39 any better than 5.56 against armor?

[mint light]

depends on what u have access too

[proper radish]

prolly nothing good

ps gs is all i got

[wise ether]

ps is ok

but 545 in general unless you have BT or BS isnt great

itll work tho

[lost beacon]

i just need assistance

so what would make the most money quick? because i need to sell this bitcoin but i dont know if putting it on the flee will work out due to how long bitcoin takes to sell

[bold kernel]

yea pp and bp is just mid and 7n40 and igolnik are difficult to get

[clear flume]

you cant put it on the flea

[wise ether]

cant put up

[clear flume]

either barter it
or sell

[lost beacon]

no way

bro the whole reason i was griding for it was to put it on the fle for the highest price

🤦‍♂️

[hot bison]

you could trade it for a weapons case or a thicc case though

[proper radish]

this good against armor?

[reef spoke]

https://tarkov-ballistics.com/charts/366-tkm/366-tkm-fmj.html

93 damage, 23 pen

[hot bison]

Anyone willing to help me out with gunsmith part 9, im looking at the wiki and dont know what Im doing wrong with the gun, ive tried watching a vid and still cant figure it out (and it is folded)

[reef spoke]

will defeat level 2 armor, but will get caught on level 3

[mint light]

answer is no

[proper radish]

i see unfortunate

[reef spoke]

but, it will 5 shot to the limbs

recoil on the .366 guns is a bit rough though

[proper radish]

yeah i was about to say

might aswell use the m4 then

[reef spoke]

https://tarkov-ballistics.com/charts/shots_to_damage_by_class.html

This is a "chest armor" simulator for bullets and armor

mouse over the numbers to get the "min max " spreads

[proper radish]

thats usefull thanks

[empty mountain]

[obtuse cipher]

can any1 help w chemical p1

[tall widget]

So I didn’t realize that scab karma was a thing. And now I have negative scab karma -1.10 should I reset my account or should I just continue and just try to get it back in the positive I’m only lvl7

I was killing all the AI scales for Loot lol I thought was a good idea but obviously not now lol

Scav stupid auto correct lol

[bold kernel]

shoot you can always regain it but if you want you can reset

[tall widget]

Don’t really want to reset been going solo so hasn’t been easy LMAO. I just didn’t know if it was worth trying to get it back or start over and make it go positive right away

My first wipe only played the game for like 2 weeks now

[bold kernel]

oh i got you yeah man just get it back up and try not to shoot scavs!

car extracts and stuff will get it back up fast

[mint light]

he gives u a quest

compensation for damage

it gives u one whole number worth

[tall widget]

Oh ok thx

[lime yoke]

If I get scav traitored one more time after I finally found car medkits I’m gonna lose my mind 😂😂

[tall widget]

Lmao 🤣

[elfin pendant]

most of the quests i have right now lead to no quest after, does that mean im close to Collector? I'm level 43

[twin scroll]

Don’t tell me you have killed scavs this whole time

[lime yoke]

He’s probably the dude that keeps killing me everytime I finally get a dang kit 😂

[twin scroll]

Scav on scav violence makes me want to throw my monitor out of the window

[twin scroll]

Man same 😂

Me and my friend keep getting killed by scavs every single run

So fucking annoying

[lime yoke]

Took me 52 scav runs to get 4 car med kits…… twice today I had 2 on me and got scav traitored

I just finally got the last 2 just now. As soon as I got them I just ran for extract and didn’t look back 🤣

[twin scroll]

I’m looking for spark plugs and every time I get one some scav decides he wants violence in life 😂

Laughing the pain away

[lime yoke]

It’s the worst man… I think the last one is because I killed a PMC and got his gear so I think I scared the dude and he killed me, cause I had decent gear on 🤦‍♂️

[tall widget]

Yeah I have Been killing AI scavs the whole time lol I would try to make sure they weren’t a player scav before I killed them

They really don’t explain anything when you start the game they just hand you a gun and say here you go lol

[tall widget]

Lol I really try not to kill player scavs but they do kill me a lot So that’s why I thought it was fine killing the AI’s

[lime yoke]

Yeah once you kill an AI scav, player scavs can kill you for no penalty @tall widget

[elfin pendant]

how do extracts on lighthouse work? i've spawned right before the bridge (Closest spawn to rogues) and had Northern CHeckpoint available, and now I spawned on the rocks a little bit further up and i dont have it available. why? im further away

[empty mountain]

Looking for someone to help me learn the map

And quests

NA/EST

[drifting jolt]

Run raids offline to learn maps

learn customs first

[drifting jolt]

the lighthouse spawns arent quite as straightforward as other maps for some reason

[tall widget]

Mapgenie.com and Theloadout.com for maps

[lime yoke]

Is the Rd-704 a good gun?

[mint light]

yeah

[lime yoke]

I hadn’t seen one before but I just got one off a PMC I killed

[drifting jolt]

it's very popular this wipe, it's new

but it's good as well

[lime yoke]

Ahh okay sweet thanks

[drifting jolt]

gotta run it with good ammo though

much like every other gun

lol

[mint light]

ps actually works

[lime yoke]

Dude had 3 car med kits on him. If that poor fool was going for the same weekly I’ll feel like an a - hole 😂

[mint light]

crazy ammo

[twin scroll]

What’s the easiest map to master

[mint light]

factory

[drifting jolt]

factory 'technically'

[twin scroll]

Meh

[mint light]

but like dont queue factory

[drifting jolt]

but it's the PvPest of PvP maps

[mint light]

shit is boring

[twin scroll]

Yes Ik

[drifting jolt]

factory is fun, but it's not for money

[twin scroll]

But other the factory

[drifting jolt]

i find factory to be a blast, no pun intended

Interchange is either really easy, or really hard

depending on how your brain works

[twin scroll]

Oh how bout reserve?

[drifting jolt]

not recommended for newer players

more chaddy boys there

[twin scroll]

Well I’m not newer

[drifting jolt]

customs/woods/interchange

master at least 2 of those

[twin scroll]

I just need to do reserve for task

I got a shit ton of task

I’ve mastered customs and semi mastered woods

[drifting jolt]

it's got decent loot, but some of it needs keys

and is dangerous underground

[twin scroll]

Yeah

Ik

[drifting jolt]

if your quests are above ground, it wont be too bad

[twin scroll]

It’s just I got a shit ton of task in reserve

[twin scroll]

See idk

I got some for therapist which is mark the tanker which is above ground but I forgot the others

[drifting jolt]

what are you really even asking then? play the maps your quests are on... face palm lol

[twin scroll]

Yeah

It’s just reserve seems fun underground

[mint light]

reserve is cool

[twin scroll]

I just needed input on how it is

I don’t want to go in blind

[drifting jolt]

reserve is dangerous comparatively... just move with intent

dont just wander

[mint light]

reserve always has big boys

and i mean always

every single person u find is gonna be a bp slanga

[twin scroll]

Yeah I’m going in with a friend

[lime yoke]

Best place to find CPU’s that I won’t get instantly murdered? 😂

[sand granite]

Scav anywhere that has a lot of PC blocks, so reserve and interchange probably

[proud crow]

interchange

[lime yoke]

Kk thanks

[drifting jolt]

There's about 40 PCs on Interchange

[lime yoke]

Haven’t figured out the best places to go on interchange yet. Besides the power plant room

[drifting jolt]

3 info kiosks in oli

oli/goshan offices

goshan/idea offices

office in idea

a few more scattered around

[lime yoke]

Okay thanks, I haven’t even searched around in the main building that much 😂 going to have to learn my way around

[drifting jolt]

it's great for newer players, there's tons of loot inside and out of the building

you can make shit loads never walking in or under the building

when I want to make a quick buck that's where I scav

[outer nexus]

anyone looking to do some quick runs? Not a lot of messing around in inventory and whatnot haha, hit me up! Low level just wanting to play a few rounds

[dusty mortar]

Play factory

[tough gyro]

What shotgun ammo should I use for setup?

[lavish fractal]

I would use flechette for armor or rip for legs

[dawn geyser]

Flechette/AP-20 if you have access

[drifting jolt]

flechette is really only for high tier armors... if youre going to woods id take ap20 slugs, flechette if factory or labs, and magnum buck for anything else

the slugs wouldnt be a bad option on customs either

slugs or buckshot on customs, or flechtte if you plan on rushing dorms

[fervent ermine]

Setup unlocks ap20 lmao

[drifting jolt]

ah yes, then that kind of narrows it down then, eh? lol

[dawn geyser]

O

[tough gyro]

Just ran it with flechette and it’s amazing

[slate copper]

yes

i agree

i love it

[lavish fractal]

good stuff bro

[slate copper]

flechette is amazing when you have clueless chads

still salty i died tho

[spiral flicker]

Flechette doesn't make sense at all

It's extremely over powered

[drifting jolt]

nah

it aint

it does half the damage of magnum buck

it just shreds high level armors more easily

[spiral flicker]

Idk if you're serious or sarcastic

[drifting jolt]

you still have to hit them several times though

magnum buckshot to the legs will kill quicker than flechette will

[dusk basin]

Yo, so ive been going into Labs raids and I havent met anyone

[drifting jolt]

magnum does 50 damage a pellet, flechette is only 25

[dusk basin]

just running around for 20 minutes

nothing, noone, not even raiders

[drifting jolt]

turn the power on

[dusk basin]

i did

TWICE

[drifting jolt]

not power, you know what i mean... and damn

[spiral flicker]

The only powerful round should be AP-20 imo, flechette once killed me to blunt damage through redut armor

[drifting jolt]

that sucks dick

[dusk basin]

elevator, gate, GARAGE

bro

shit was dead

not even and players

shit was a ghost town

i was just running around looting shit

[drifting jolt]

the .50 bmg slugs are fun as fuck to snipe with... they have a good accuracy bonus

[spiral flicker]

Have you been to basement

[dusk basin]

yes, i exfil main eleavtor

[spiral flicker]

I agree with this one

Tracer slugs

[spiral flicker]

Then it's wierd

Kinda sussy ngl

[dusk basin]

going in 1 more time

will lyk

its happened twice

[drifting jolt]

youve inspired me to go with a double barrel

[spiral flicker]

Ew

[drifting jolt]

no ew

fun

[spiral flicker]

Wasted 3.8k and still rat
me: wasted 2200 hours and still rat

[fervent ermine]

Karma for using redut

[spiral flicker]

Ong

[dusk basin]

went in to labs and died from boss after walking around for 20 minutes

either im very unlucky/lucky to not run into anyone or just noone is spawning with me

[drifting jolt]

what servers youplaying on? lol

[modern niche]

What mission from jeager unlocks vudu

[dusk basin]

chicago,st louis, miami

idk whats happening lol

[drifting jolt]

fuckin weird brah

im about to run london servers

rate my kit

lolz

[dusk basin]

ey atleast i got free loot lmfao

dreamy asl

bro one line in ur stash is worth more than my entire savings

[drifting jolt]

havent run labs yet this wipe, might as well be with a meme kit

[drifting jolt]

im a hoarder

current stash value is 69.5 mil

[dusk basin]

my stash value is 40mil

i hoard weapons n shit so mostly is not true

[drifting jolt]

not too shabby!

[dusk basin]

the amount of cases u have tho is nuts tbh

[drifting jolt]

weapons case are cheap af with the mechanic 3 barter

like 800k or less

nah i lied

maybe like 900k ish

but you can craft the wires for it very easily

so you can cut like 200k+ out real quick

labs about to starts, lets go!

@dusk basin i might be in a dead raid myself...

[lime yoke]

Am I pretty much screwed for prapor if I can’t complete delivery from the past? 😂

[drifting jolt]

get the item on customs, then join a 5 man factory raid

easy

@dusk basin not a single shot yet

[lime yoke]

Every single time I’ve joined a group I get immediately shot on spawn.

[whole thistle]

Don't use in game lfg

Use the discord

[manic edge]

My duo mate was done with thus mission after like 10 minutes

[lime yoke]

Thanks that helps me a lot

😂

[whole thistle]

Just find a 4/5 factory voice chat

[manic edge]

You need the right spawns then it's easy

[drifting jolt]

people will kill jsut about 100% of the time if you join randos

[lime yoke]

Yeah I’ve been killed by people I joined in here tho also

[prime comet]

You can clip them and get them banned from here, for future reference

[lime yoke]

Ahh okay good to know

[drifting jolt]

yeah if yall agree to group in this discord, and then they purposefully TK you, and youre able to submit evidence, then they get banned, it's pretty great

@dusk basin Not a single other PMC in that raid

[shell heart]

what quests do i need to do to unlock better ammo?

[lime yoke]

Wowwwww I find 3 quest items and I get server connection lost 😂🤦‍♂️

[shell heart]

been having more dcing then usual to lol

lost connection to server 4 times during a cudtoms raid

[spiral flicker]

Basically all good ammo is peace keeper 3/4

[lavish fractal]

level 1 jager has psv ammo for the kedr.. underrated ammo... shreds legs

[lime yoke]

SON OF a 2 seconds from extracting after I reconnected…

[shell heart]

lmao

[lime yoke]

Soooo close 🤦‍♂️

[blazing sierra]

Good?

[lavish fractal]

good stuff man 👏🏼

[blazing sierra]

M61 and m995 are cancer

[dire folio]

Cancer in a casing

[shell heart]

anyone willing to run some quests with me tonight?
i still need to find a fuckin**** flash drive

[summer gust]

what better, korund or defender 2?

[prime comet]

We know that m4 jammed

The poor dura 😦

[fringe cobalt]

You need water

[dusk basin]

Sorry for the really late response, but idk why but lab raids are just completely DEAD

[fringe cobalt]

Cus that’s labs now

[dusk basin]

wym, like its a actual feature?

[fringe cobalt]

No just no one has cards anymore and 90% of the time it’s dead

[dusk basin]

I was in labs a good amount of times earlier and always got atleast a few players, but i get noone now

shits tuff ig

more loot for me

[fringe cobalt]

Late night labs

Dead

[dusk basin]

f

[rigid light]

y'know i might craft a FLIR one day

just for the thrill of having it

[rugged badge]

if you realy want one jeager has a cheap barter for it

well I say cheap like half a mil

[rigid light]

what loyalty level

[rugged badge]

it comes with a free shotgun :)

lvl 3 I think

[rigid light]

ok but i hate his guts and leveling him up is agony

[rugged badge]

it's pain but lvl 3 should be aight

[prime comet]

It’s not as bad as you think

To level him

[rigid light]

i just have to do 3 quests for him

[prime comet]

I crafted my first one of the wipe last night

[rigid light]

congrats

will you use it

[prime comet]

Yep

I’ll use it until I lose it

What’s the point in having stuff in your stash if you’re not going to use it because you’re scared you’ll die with it

It’s literally useless

[rugged badge]

jeagers quest overall is aight

tarkov shooter is pretty fine

some quests are pain though

[round ferry]

hey im new and level 12 can someone help me

[rigid light]

Do you have any questions that need answering?

[fringe cobalt]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

make a ticket for your region and a sherpa will help you learn the game

best place to find someone to help you

[valid barn]

i can help you or anyone needing newcomer assistance. im in 2 man squad #1

[blazing sierra]

I used scar

[blazing sierra]

No need drink my own piss

[prime comet]

I can see that through the insurance

[rugged badge]

what specifically you need help with?

[rigid light]

jeager ll2 sells iskras

combined with therapist's water bottle it's basically a full meal giving you nearly all of your hydration and energy back

why does he have to sell so much stuff i need i hate him

[rugged badge]

honestly I almost never buy food

either I just loot it on the map, or I do 1 scav run to the food corner on interchange and have food for forever

[lavish fractal]

@rigid light you can find food easy on the left side of goshan in interchange they have like 6 shelves full of food and drinks

[rigid light]

i've also been lacking in the food department, i bring 1 food item into the raid

[rigid light]

i know, i'm just theorizing

i think about those incredibly long raids where you extract only when there's like 5 mins left

[lavish fractal]

thats how it be

[serene reef]

past 15 MRE give 80 food

for 10k right now :)

if im not eating sugar ill be using later in the wipe

im eating those

or w/e i find in raids

also arent iskras found more commonly in the square weapon boxes and not in goshan?

last few times ive been there i didnt notice an single iskra only tushonkas and other cans

also water 12k for 60 hydration sounds like a horrible deal

aquamaris are sub 20k

wait did they nerf them again? wasnt it 150 at the start of the wipe?

god dammit

[lavish fractal]

i mean yeah but still worth

[sand granite]

Lighthouse offline with scavs on a good place to practice sniping?

[prime comet]

Scavs are broken right now, however I’d try woods instead, it’s less predictable and less linear

[sand granite]

I mostly want to practice on moving targets

[prime comet]

Woods, still the one

However offline scavs literally don’t work right now so you’re out of luck there

[rugged badge]

I mean 1 food item + 1 drink item should be plenty in almost everything though

[tough grove]

Why does my scope glitch when using dlss?

[rugged badge]

glitch in what way?

[tough grove]

It’s blurry and the color is more of pink shade if I’m using a holo for example

[torpid ridge]

yeah scopes in DLSS are glitched

[tough grove]

Are they intending to fix this?

[torpid ridge]

not sure, but I hope so

[tough grove]

It has been monthes

I hope so aswell

The most strategic hip fire buff right before dlss. Interesting

[shell heart]

whats the key called that goes to dome on resserve for the lcoked guard shack

[fringe cobalt]

KPRL

also the wiki has all the keys

[shell heart]

whats rp-korl then

[pure otter]

Should I sell all my level 4 helmets I have a shit ton of them and just keep finding them

[fringe cobalt]

there are 3 locked rooms in the queen building and its 1 of them there all on 2nd floor

[fringe cobalt]

if you dont use them sure

[pure otter]

Gotcha I do use some of them I just have like to damn many lol

[fringe cobalt]

just sell some and keep some you will get more so it really dont matter

[shell heart]

what kesy our of what i have should i keep

[pure otter]

Gotcha thanks

[fringe cobalt]

use the wiki for keys just look up the key on the wiki and it will tell you what you need if for

[gray notch]

Basically sell all dorms Keys except marked, you can buy them back same price if you need them

[tired isle]

any of these keys useful?

[gray notch]

KPRL and MP11 are half decent reserve keys as far as i know

203 is a quest key at some point aswell

[tired isle]

alr ill keep them

and

those two tan scopes any good?

and this tetriz thing i found

[prime comet]

Tan scopes sell

Tetriz sell, only used for a barter for btc which isn’t worth it

[tired isle]

i see

thank you :)

[prime comet]

No worries

[tired isle]

also this loadout any good?

i got ahead of myself yesterday and lost quiet a bit lol

lost a m4 airframe helmet and a gazel and my vpo 209 and few other things lol

[prime comet]

Helmet is hot garbage

You’d be better off using a headset instead for the same money
