I've been holding onto just about anything purple. Until I have more then 5 except for kek tape
just check quest and hideout trackers and shove em in a dedicated junkbox
the rest can be sold or used as barters or crafts or whatever
My reason for asking what are things that I can sell that I won't need for nessiscary missions or hideout
Is there a list somewhere that is accurate about what will be needed.
most of those "lists" might be outdated, so go 1 by 1 through wiki pages for each item
database for tarkov app
Yeah I've found a few already that have proven to be incorrect
Moonshine or intel or 95k for danexert forklift?
iirc i got it from moon and intel
coz moon is streamer items and intel for keys
so both ig
and i dont do 95k
so idk about that
You're a scav you just found a GPU in lighthouse, on the way to out to extraction you see two PMC "duos" at the entrance of the lighthouse bridge, you're standing 20ft away behind the truck and you have a double barrel shotgun, what do you do?
btw they haven't seen you yet
Prone in the nearest bush
20 ft is like 8m isnt it ao probably just beg for coop extract
anyone down to run some raids? i am new
any ways of getting fence rep fast ?
Car extracts, co-op extracts
When I unlocked the workbench and reached level 15 can I put any attachments on my gun and just buy them from the flea market?
Anyone who has access to flea who could help me with some quests?
flea
some top end mods are trader only
and traders have better prices for mods in general
Okok
Ok thanks man
So since this mag is internal, I will have to put the bullets one by one without changing magazines?
yes
ok
Pray to nikita
Possibly convince em to do coop extract
or buy 20rder from pk
can also topload that or buy multiple and reload
also that bullet is trash
that ammo is utter dog
pls dont use
I used to do that but I like to just feed it bullets instead of having to carry multiple mags
I also used an other bullet and turns out...it was incompatible. I had no clue about that before I joined a raid and the gun couldn't fire
I died
This is the bullet...What's the point of letting me put it in my mag if I can't shoot it?
366 tkm is a russian civilian round designed to get around russian gun laws
to own a hunting rifle you must own a hunting shotgun, etc for a few years without accident
366 tkm and the accompanying vepr series have less than 120mm of rifling at the end of the barrel which counts as a "muzzle device" not a rifling
so essentially you can have an AKM that uses AKM mags (10 rd limited of course) and shoots like an AKM but it's legally a shotgun
Imagine an akm with ap-m thatdbe funny
yeah it's called 762 bp
so I can't use this?
Yup a middle round, horrible recoil though
nope u cant
see also: 300 blackout rounds fit in 556 magazines but don't work inside 556 guns
Just because the barrel diameter
because it's designed so that you can only change the upper receiver and the barrel of your existing 556 gun and run a sick subsonic round
I got baited basically
no you lacked critical information
and died like a fool
as they say
yep
Doesnt the game tell you that the gun wont work
I didn't see any red symbols
This gun is loaded with those bullets. Only when I hover over it will it tell me about the issue
Tarkov for ya
anyway, this was a valuable lesson. Also, does anyone know why I keep lagging while playing on woods? Is it a performance issue on my part or is the map bugged? I am not having the same issue on other maps
So helpful
ikr
it is because map is bad + skill issue
It may be a bug but I recommend checking what server you're on.
Anyway. What is the best map for scav kills?
factory
Well that's going to be fun considering I need scav kills with a makarov
good luck
I'm gonna need it
There are only two types of players in factory. Absolute chads, or naked pistol bois
factory, but you pray you get a gate 0 spawn and just let the first 5 minutes go
Even when I do go in as a chad, I'm not a chad
gotcha
Noted, cheers
how do I do that?
Through the launcher. Should be an option right above the play button to choose a server to play on.
Chances are it'll automatically pick the one with the lowest ping or at least in that area but it's still worth a shot
I just simply W key alot
lol
Well you see I do that too. But it doesn't work for me.
ok got it
its a bit hard to be full w key tho
since its late wipe now and I haven't played much this wipe
I'm struggling to continue to be honest. I'm stuck with not knowing what tasks to do trying to get to lvl 32. I tried shoreline since I have like two or three essentially fetch quests or marker quests but despite never having any trouble running into PMCs on that map, I die to one twice in a row
I usually speed thru tasks early wipe lul but yeah i feel that hard
I've also got a few for interchange but whoo boy do I hate interchange. Practically have to force myself onto maps I don't want to play but I also have gear fear currently considering I'm literally defining the poverty line at this point.
gear fear ay?
mm
best way in my opinion to rid yourself of that is just
think of it as your turn with the good stuff
and just run it lol
That makes sense. I kind of got rid of gear fear for a while when I managed to have decent money because I could insure and have enough to make another kit if I lost it. Now I'm sat at 36k haha. Plus I really need to get better at weapon mods. I have like two M4s that have low recoil but the camera recoil is awful
insuring is kinda meh tbh
Hey guys, I just got a survive 9 times in the labs, as weekly, with lots of XP. Do I need keycards when I just wanna try this weekly?
You'll need a access card everytime you go into labs
mmh, sucks
can't get into labs without one lol
Kind of Yeah but it makes sense
I'd just reroll that homie
I've got two cards sat in my stash and I dont want to go in because it seems like every cheater and their mum goes to labs
labs isn't rlly worth it anymore tbh
So I've heard but I dont really get how?
Isnt it supposed to be a 'loot buffet' or something?
hm I rerolled, now I need to kill 70(!) scavs from more then 50m, lol
changed my servers to Germany, I hope the people here are worse
Believe it or not that'll be much easier to do than survive labs 9 times
ok
from a pvp sense
sounds like something I can achive naturally by just playing
Ah. Well you see I'm most of the time a rat
Good to know. Might just sell the access cards then I guess
And I get 50k XP for that quest, so that is something to work for
I'd love to get 50k xp lmao
ratting is dumb
Well I am dumb. And extremely bad half the time
should fr stop that and be chad w key
I guarantee you I'll take in a slick and a ulach or something and die to a scav
I mess about in offline raids a lot. I've seen scavs take several M995
Its not that simple. Or at least not for me lmao
scavs usually always take several everything
That is very true
How do I buy a better one?
Barter or do punisher quest line
As you level up traders, better ones will be available
wrong
?
one only bigger 1 is available
Ah
you cann get another from doing punisher quest line
but if you want the big one you gotta buy eod
or get kapa
kappa
what's the punisher questline?
I bought eod lmao
you unlock punisher after shaking up teller
so just keep doing his quests till you eventually get there
If im righttt you are like
2 off of it from bad rep
ok
Do I have time to complete his quests? Are wipes usually each 3-4 months or smth?
Next wipe is probably like
somewhere maybe in December
you still got a few months dw
Usually like 5-7 months or so
Pretty sure
streets p1 is finally guaranteed this next one right??? copium overdose
Oh so we are getting a new map in the next wipe? Is it gonna be free?
My raid on woods is a power point slide show right now
Everyone thinks we are (Nikita might have confirmed it i don’t know because I don’t watch the podcasts)
They are planning for dlc maps in the future but we don’t have very much information on that
Streets i think is free
PK2 what is just lvl + money spen
no? you got beta + epsilon
I Said the punisher one too
Town and suburbs
And arena
Are dlc iirc
@astral sage thanks that will really help narrow my searches down.
streets looked so nice
the trailer (that was a year ago) was sick
arena is a whole different game aswell
Can someone who has access to flea help me with some quests?
afaik people can't drop you items
atleast not most items
can drop gear and gunmods
yeah, and food I believe
and meds and more
what is tagged and cursed?
scavs target you
scavs rush your location because you didn’t bring enough gear
What u mean by wipe u lose everything
Everyone's account is reset when wipe happens
So you lose all your shiz
Ah right darn good job i got crap weapons
Only 3 more months lol
What about your money im guessing that goes back to the beginning
Wow
Wiah i knew this before buying the game
It's fine, you can finish everything in a month or two
Nobody plays the whole wipe
It's pretty openly avalible info as well
It's not like you're gonna get cut off at level 3 over and over
the game has to though
tarkov isn't sustainable without wipes
yep
Yeah it gets boring as shit after a month or two lol
Fair enough
- wipes usually mean new stuff as well
Next wipe is supposed to be hyooge
should i use this as my main gun or should i just fuck and make another build when i get skier2
You won't be able to penetrate anything
then this is leg and head meta
but still is this a good build
what
9mm tries to penetrate anything at all (it can't)
what other gun can i use with these traders
better sks
i dont like the sks
ak74
Although the muzzle brake is from skier 2
So it'll be a little more expensive
drip 
idk you can cheack easily
yes
nah this is giga
@sinful rivet Just use flea market. You don’t need any traders for most builds. It’ll just be a bit more expensive.
But that’ll come with playing the game (The Traders)
Don’t worry about your guns just do your quests and then worry about it when you know how to use em.
ok then
i love the smg
ill use the smg
thx
WHY CANT I TURN THIS IN TO THE MECHANIC FOR THE QUEST
Rear sight missing
You have flashlight instead of blue laser
Take out the bullet in the chamber
i need the flaslight
Ok put the rear sight on and remove bullet in the chamber
Annoying scav violence on factory, especially at the safe in office. -0.1 scav karma is worth more then the 4k rubels I just lootet from that?
Restart your game
is zenit good
What level are you?
Make sure you have every trader level 2 that you can
You are gonna need to spend money or do tasks for skier and jaeger i think
Buy dorms safe keys and run them until you get it
dont chads go to dorms
ok wich keys
And try and avoid a fight and talk to them if you can
If you think you can get the kill then go for ot
What other tasks do you have?
poland russia etc
Oh ok
skier?
I would go to eft chat and see wbat they reccomend
Either do it now for fun or do it layer for fun
Not needed for kappa, little xp, takes away rep for some traders
cool
welp damn i gues i gotta get comfrotable with customs
Go ask in eft chat first
wiki
???
they sayed try wiki
You could just get a bunch of safe keys and run those
Thats what i said but he is new so idk of there was a better option
if you run shorelines all the time with your scab and go to the light house part you will find them
i found all mind in the safes there flash drives
Just a reminder you can craft flash drives if you're having a hard time getting them. 3 at a time from 1 craft at Intel 2
I need help with delivery from the past and gunsmith part 3, I'm level 14 so I don't have flea unlocked, however I'll pay you the rubles required for gunsmith part 3!!
Just level up traders for it
How can I level up traders when I've completed basically every quest other than quests that mainly require the flea for it, but alright dude
Sure

I wouldnt do gunsmith without the required trader levels, with some exceptions
Eh, I mean yeah I guess but like, I can just make back the rubles in a few lighthouse runs anyway
the gunsmiths are near impossible without flea or traders
Also how have you completed "basically every quest" when you're on delivery from the past
^
I'm saying until I need the flea market
I'm level 14
Maybe I worded it wrong
Yup even p1
Although that one you can find parts semi simple
With p2 you kinda just have to get lucky and find a 60 round mag
Or murder raiders
Or buy one
Buy one?
I don't think anyone completing can buy one
Lmao
I usually don't finish part 1 until I get the flea anyway lol
I did
You can complete p1 easily yes, you can buy the part
Which you can't get until you finish part 1
Yea
Does green glow sticks mean theres an extract nearby?
yes
if u can take it is a different question
the flares are on top of extracts usually
ye
anyone wanna play with me im kinda bad tho but need some people
Look at the message above yours
hi everyone
hi
me 😮
in tarkov i mean
yeaa im brok 😦
okay give me a call
okayy
im in 7
im new and 13 and my freind keeps disconnecting can somone help me
with what
Any newer players looking for a regular group? Can help with quests etc not a problem. 18+ UK/EU, dm me.
unlucky
Is the sks good?
anyone wanna play im 13
13 or level 13
@peak glen
good for noobs
I mean everything is
It doesn't have especially good accuracy
It's just the penetration is good for early rounds
man im trying the sks as a noob, it sucks
It's pretty good if you don't magdump
If you can hit people in the chest and head consistently it's fine
yeah i trieed this many times even on scavs, its like it never hits them
its one of the best options for noobs. not gonna be viable later into game tho
Yes
If the problem is shitty sights try the opsks from jager with a dovetail sight or get the vpo 136 from skier with a bastion
im kinda new to the game can anyone help get the sicc thing
Level 38 I think
For the barter for it
Might be a bit lower
No other way to get it
Yes
You can get a docs case instead at level 13/15
It's slightly smaller but can hold paper loot instead of dog tags
anyone have the cottage back door key that can help me?
anyone tryna run a group. just got the game yesterday
how u get that
can barter from therapist
do u need therapist level up ?
Therapist 2 barter or flea
Cat, horse and something else for the barter
level 13?
Yes

That's just for leveling the trader not for the case
any1 have the cottage back door key that can help me?=
On that wiki page it'll say what the barter is
yeah i know i looked
thats what i was talkin about
it easy to get
Alr just making sure lol
this mean scavs AND pmcs?
still need help?
yeah, and you just need to hit them not kill
It said - shoot not kill
You can shoot first scav 3 times in leg and after it headshot him
oooooh ok
The only question left... If you ricochet scav in head first time, will it count as "shoot in head"
So maybe, just maybe it is possible to do it on one scav 
idk how far you are in the questline but the real juice will come at lvl 50 💀
WAIT who has the rubbles the rat or the chad
rats somehow always poor
hey why does the fence dislike me?
rats are rich but think they are poor and are sad chads are poorer but convinced they are rich and fave immense amounts of fun
did you kill other scavs as a scav?
because you killed a scav on your scav
oh, yes. accidentally shot one so then i had to keep fighting in self defense
ah ok
thanks
you could have let yourself die and not loose the rep
or just run away to the extract
if you get below -1 then scavs will shoot you on sight when ur a scav
isn't it -2
oof, ok
ill be careful
what's the best way to get it up? not kill scavs and extract?
yup
car and co-op extracts
also using car exits as pmc
Car or co-op extracts first time give 0.25, then 0.13
oh interesting
First 4 extracts on that specific car/co-op totals to 0.52 rep
i've never actually done coops cause i always get shot on sight by pmcs
how would you ever do that
im new anyone wanna play im 13
so if you did all 4 cars, and all 4 co-ops, 4x each (32 raids minium) you'd be at 4.08 rep
You voiceline, and pray they don't kill you
or more likely when your on a PMC
Scream at some scav to drop their guns
then promise them "big phat loots"
ah fair enough haha
Can anyone help me understand why I'm not being offered the quest "Hunter" to kill sturman? I'm level 4 Jaeger - level 34 now, and yet still not being offered. Is there any pre-requisite that isnt listed on the wiki?
is there a way to dehydrate myself for the jaeger quest, or do i just have to play for a while and not drink water
@outer mulch Food does it. The cerial or the dehydrated milk
I joined a guy in the Looking for beginners and he started to shoot me
is that reportable?
ohhhhhh right, thank you!
im brand new and 13 anyone wanna play?
Nvm i think I found it
oatflakes, crackers, mayo, or painkillers are cheap(ish) and fast ways to dehydrate
suck down a jar of mayo and you'll be gasping for water
@outer mulch Also the healing stim, forget the name, heals you over time. Perfect for that degen damage from dehydration.
Whats the best low level shot gun round
7mm buckshot?
cool cool, thanks guys
@jaunty fulcrum Double Barrel shotgun is amazing. Use with 8.5mm or 7mm buckshot and aim for legs
I found a saiga
That works!
Kewl
yes
applicable at any level tbh
magnum if you can get it
ftx slugs are a personal fav of mine but i'm weird
Btw if you right click linked search any gun or part it'll show you stuff that attaches to it
But its gonna get stolen anyways
Yea but i had troubles finding from what trader to buy it from, i figured it out
Also saiga is semi auto if you didn't notice
I held mouse1 when I used it the first time and had my daily serving of death and crying after
so basically chads are druggies and rats are 40 year old dudes with masive motivation
we did a lil trolling
that's why my name is ChaddusRattus
Intentional teamkill in LFG is bannable
He was flaming because "I killed his scav" and then I was like ight im leaving and he shot me and tried to kill me but didn't. So its not a tk
.
NOOOOO MY 200 XP 😡
Record it and if it happens submit it to modmail
I have it recorded yeah
Post I think it would be funny
ill do that

Any good settings you guys can recommend? + FX + Amd settings
the redid the quest, it's this one now https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/The_Huntsman_Path_-_Woods_Keeper
Oh damn, that actually makes sense
oh wait, no i'm stupid, nevermind that's wrong quest
your talking the kill shturman 25 times aren't you
did you just get to loyalty level 4? try relogging
maybe they changed pre-reqs for it
It's not exceptionally good or bad
that's what i'm thinking, mine didn't show up till after some skier task i think
If you can get access to AP-20's
You'll 1 tap most people in the head

So that paired with a saiga will be powerfull?
It's disgusting.
To be honest anything paired with a Saiga is disgusting
Saiga go brr
Is there a mod for saiga that increases accuracy?
Oo
So making a shotgun into a sniper lol
The lowest lvl slugs sold at skiers are they ok?
Will they one tap a head
Buckshot is better for headshots
Everything will, most slugs will even one tap to the chest if they're unarmored
Ah
The only bullets that don't one tap the head is 20 gauge
And even then if more than one pellet lands it'll one shot
Is bigger buck shot better?
Yeah
I think that's 20 gauge

how do i find mp 133's for prapor quest? havnt found any and ive played for like 15hours
Just get jager and buy them from him
Can somebody help with quest plz? Exiting from Custom, i never playd on this map
i cant play woods cause my game / computer crashes if i play any other map then factory
Gold trigger
scavs often carry mp-133s, try hunting some down. You could also try scav runs on factory to find dead scavs there.
what is the best map to find missam forklift key?
kwon saiga enjoyer
saiga is the best shotgun
people say mp155 is better 💀
How manu versions of the saiga are there?
ive been on factory alot and never found a scav with an mp-133 ive only found mp-155 on them or some ak
there are like 5 different shotguns scavs can have, its not a particularly large chance. Your scav could also spawn with one
i may have mistspoke when i said they often carry 133's
ive never seen an mp-133 in the game yet so ive got to be super unlucky then
Have you tried turning down all your settings, like to the absolute lowest and seeing if that allows you to play another map?
Jesus Christ 💀
You're not gonna be able to do like 90% of things in the game
what are your computer specs?
bruh
you might be running a toaster
basically not gonna be able to play the game
Man's on the demo
You can happily play Tarkov with a 5fps in Factory tbh /s

See how you got head eyes one frame at a time

right click your name > edit server profile

If you wanna go the extra mile add a backslash and it'll escape the command \/nick
thanks
@knotty thistle the fork in the road at customs near the bridge has a chance to spawn 153 in the store under the register. risk/reward, as scavs and players traffic the area.
That is crazy rare
I've actually seen it twice
Also not the gun for debut
I check it when I pass through because I'm in there anyway for the food
i stop there for lightnings runs if all i have is a pistol or something. easy back up to tap scavs for elim tasks.

Hey, can someone help me find Jeagers camp later? I need to get the note for mechanic.
yeah
I know I’m level 35, but I don’t have Jeager unlocked.
no way
Yes way
Dayummm I had him unlocked at level 6 or something lol
Level 35 no jeager, ran woods a total of 4 times
compass is so helpful on woods
quite impressive tbh
I sussed it using a map, I don't usually run woods so not great at it still.
I luckily spawned near the plane so went from there
its clearly an advanced trader strat, focus your tasks on other traders first
I gotta get to level 50 before unlocking Jeager
I mean, who actually needs Jeager, he ain’t that useful.
I have enough Jeager rep to level him up just from doing other traders tasks that give me Jeager rep
ap20 blows 
.50 BMG is where it’s at
i will delete your torso
Love running .50s in the saiga on factory with an Altyn
bruh i love going lighthouse as a pmc dressed up as a scav and killing all the player scavs LMAO
its too funny
I like that I have killed the goon squad before I’ve unlocked Jeager
I gotta do that
its fucking hilarious, i just killed 7 in one raid
2 of them with a nade while they looted airdrop
Yup, lemme just reset my account and change my faction real quick.
USEC 🤮
yea but so far i just talk on the mic and they dont suspect anything
Pew
What extracts are open to all in factory
gate 3
🅱️eacekeeper
peacekeeper kinda mid he needs a new splash art I still have no idea what he looks like he looks different in every photo ive seen
The original peace keeper icon was a photoshopped image of Nicholas cage
what ammo do i need to put in my sks?
7.62 ps
do you lose scav rep for killing rogue bosses
thx
how come no one is selling an mp5sd or stuff for it
are there just some things that no one sells?
oh i found some of the parts
i still need the suppressor though
do the mechanic level 2 barter
not lvl 2 yet 😔
can someone buy the suppressor then sell it to me? this one
that's all i need to finish my task
no, but any normal bosses or their guards yes
i found twitch paca what i put it up for
theres no offers on it in flea and 0 required on flea
None up for batters?
batters
no barters up im the only one up rn
i put it for blue keycard lol
i turned durability range off too
so yeah im the only one xd
good luck getting blue keycard for a kappa item you can find in jaeger stashes
skill issue
Bolt action is cool but I've gotten killed too many times up close so
What's a good semi auto sniper? I usually shoot between 100-200m
looking for duo
I’m a big fan of the m1a, or if you want a cheaper on try the rfb
any particular m1a? SASS looks cool but it's so expensive 😩
Sass is the way forward, that’s why I have you the cheaper option of the rfb, but paying out money for a good m1a is completely worth it imo
understood, what do you think about the EBR and archangel versions?
actually nvm ama just go with an RFB
you mean this ebr ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhard_EBR
You can get an m4 from peacekeeper 2 I believe
The barrel is worth a lot on the flea
I can use the barrel on it?
Is that from peace keeper
The Adar is like the m4 but no full auto
The Adar is from prapor 1 I believe
I'm not sure tho
The adar 2-15?
Yes
Oof i dont have enough for it
I would sell the 20 inch barrel if it's found in raid and you have flea
Do you have flea?
you can still sell it if its fir
cant do that because fir
Skier
there isnt a handguard lol
u plan on holding the barrel?
ar15 type handguards
maybe more i dont have examined
if anyone here is new and looking for a group, i just experienced some crazy sh#%
got invited by a level 30 and 28 soon as the game started they murdered me
don’t be like me🤣
Invited through the lobby screen?
yea
If so, there's a life lesson there
that’s why i’m writing here for anyone else who’s new
Never accept random invites from that lobby. 99.99% chances of getting executed lol
that was actually my first
usually they just run away from me and we fight later
soon as i’m done scaving my life out the game i’m doing the same
Do a linked search on the gas tube
update: I tried it out on lighthouse, but the sight over bore is so extreme that at close distances going for a headshot meant hitting the thorax
and at longer ranges the bullet drop is a big much for my liking
I think ama just take an svds
mans complaining about 308 drop?
ye
insanely cheap for the stats
maybe but isnt m80 cheaper for similar performance?
I dont know what the usd conversion is
about 350 rouble per round
you can get a compass
oh really? good
is it useful? because i saw no one talk about it in the few beginners guides i read/watched
not really super useful once you know the maps
can help you get your bearing a bit if u dont know the map yet tho, i use it on shoreline and woods
i have extraction points map open on the 2nd monitor, i look at it while im in game and i still dk where the hell am i standing
thats what im doing rn yeah
If you have second monitor it takes like hour/map tops and you know it forever
you can just know where you are without plausible
ill try it
1 hour?
Just learn the maps in offline bro trust me
yeah ill def do that
Please do
I learned them through suffering and scav runs and it was kinda fun
im kinda suffering rn as well
I recommend just pulling up a pestily video for any map EXCEPT FACTORY AND MAYEB WOODS and learning them in offline
Ok i'll check that too thanks
Please do very worth
1 hour per map and you will know it for the rest of your time playing
I recommend tho since you will only kinda know the map still using a mapgenie map
Also i know there is good reddit 3d reserve and shoreline maps
offline ruins the fun
ruins the risk of trying to learn the map
Ok bruh
Running around aimlessly for like 20+ raids going mia every scav wasnt fun
i did that like 3 times
the maps aren’t super hard to learn
with a map
and some time
I think its way more fun to just learn the maps in offline
shit take, learn them in offline first
^^^
i didn’t have much trouble and never went into offline so i couldn’t really agree
yo
Im trying to complete gunsmith part 4, I only need a 60 round m4a1 mag... can someone pass me one? ill pay up :)
no one gives a shit how much trouble you had or didn't have, point is if you're new you'll likely be better in offline, absorbing the information instead of fearing for your life
Do you mean can someone accidentally bring an m4 mag and you ACCIDENTALLY drop something in return?
^^^
And was he solo?
wait is trading illegal? if so yes I mean accidentally
do you perhaps happen to be able to ACCIDENTALLY bring one?
Mods will just delete your message and say no trading
I doubt you will catch a ban unless you do it every single raid
I recommend just waiting until you can buy them
Only really if you do it like every single raid, tons of times really
well i onnlyyy need one item ;))))
And if your teammate dies and you bring his gun back that is fine
some items cannot be dropped in raid btw
I recommend just waiting only leads to a gunsmith
^^^ mostly barter items
Just wait
ok
also
just a quick question
is the 5.56x45 surefire 60 bullet magazine able to be sold on the flea market?
Msg me if you ever wanna play
cuz i never see it
can you do it with 100 or has it been patched?
lmao
also at what point does fence reputation stop mattering
is it after 6? or is there smtng more after 6
After 6 is just scav box times
o alr
can anyone help me? i have no clue wtf im doing
if you want an objective, try to complete tasks given to you by the traders
otherwise you gotta ask more specific questions
Look up a beginner's guide on YouTube, use third party maps i.e https://mapgenie.io/tarkov, use the wiki for tasks, & start with scav raids or offline raids when you're learning a map. I recommend sticking to Woods, Customs, & Factory off the bat cause most of the early quests are there
I shouldnt talk, but I think maybe when you are starting off tarkov, factory is a good one since it introduces you to the pvp mechanics and also you will no longer have "gear-fear" when you play a couple of times.
reserve is also decent for money if you want that, scav runs on reserve are pretty chill (make sure to search up where the loot spots are and then you can make a path for yourself :)
also yeah tasks are nice
you can do the 100 mag gunsmith thing
i thought so but people are saying stats changed and you cant
oh well yeah
you gonna need better attachments
but idk which ones are better to use
anyone have a pvp guide I can watch?
try searching tarkov pvp guide on youtube
Is this a bad place to ask for someone to open Customs Marked Room for a quest?
Nothing but practice will really do you much good, - but here are some things that are just generally useful
-Positioning is everything. In combat, frequently reposition, this is just one of the reasons map knowledge is critical and should be built and practiced ASAP.
-Hipfire is exceptional, using a flashlight and hipfiring is a hugely important mechanic to start practicing. Get a good feel for it in offline mode and you'll thank yourself later.
-Stop running everywhere - sprinting is very loud and gives you away, it provides a lot of opportunity to ambush you. Whenever you're in high-traffic areas, be very disciplined about when you sprint. Whenever I get feedback about my advice, people say that sprinting less and hipfiring more made the biggest difference in their performance.
-Pick your fights, don't be afraid to retreat - it often gives you a better chance to hit back later, prioritize your survival and let them make the mistake.
-Prioritize right hand peaking if you have a choice. It exposes far less of you than peeking left.
-Learn from every death, there's almost always a lesson to learn and apply down the road
okay I'm gonna try some stuff out thank you both
Also nades
use more nades, I use all sorts, including smokes, all the time to great effect, excellent for repositioning and sound cover
so use them to reposition and flank?
or even just to get audio queues
oh okay ik you can use it to tell if someone's a raider or not but idk much more
thats a given most of the time but it could be useful
thank you so much
I did the quest finally
How do YOU use smokes? Sounds soo fun
And i heard they were ok on woods before they had the good new ones
Be careful using them solo if they know you are solo and you are too close most good players will push because of nade audio of pulling it out an being stuck pulling it out
alr thank you for the tips
My tip is run efficient budget kits
Dont run absolutely kitted but dont run no armor cheap gun shit ammo
ive just been running kits from rogues cause they're easy to get
eventually though if you are good enough like me 😎, you can run PM only, kill some scavs and then it spirals up from there ;)
lmao yeah im almost 400hrs in and still have no idea how to play due to being solo
true
YouTube videos were my best friend
Say looking for long term duo / trio whatever tf
And in my experience asking for new players and teaching them makes them stick around and play similar to you
And if you are good you can teach people fast
not the sewer rats
create a legion of d2 campers
5 man camping d2 splitting loot
last wipe i trio camped reserve getting every exit
the only way to play reserve
im now permanently avoiding reserve
fair
Did you do exfil camper tree
i really want to get into w keying just to piss people off
W keying is just how you win fights
do it then
i usually get 1 tapped lmao
Just joined the game today because a friend told me to get it. He said do tasks or something but i have no clue what im doing. Any help?
Start with Woods or Customs
Woods is harder to learn but safer.
Customs is easier to learn but more dangerous.

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
Head into a practice mode on one of those maps, toggle on some AI scavs, and try to get a feel for the map, movement, gunplay, scav killing, etc.
When you're ready - try to scav into one of those maps and actually get some loot out.
Then you can take your PMC in and try to do some quests or loot or simply survive.
Good luck - you will die, try to have fun with it.
Im probably not gonna be on today but i can invite you to a server i normally play in and help you tmrw or later tonight maybe
Do you have a copy and paste of a bunch of those
of course
Ok
what is w keying
and how does it win fights
Lighthouse is mega easy to learn
hold w and shoot
Does anyone have the operation aquarius key for the dorm room? I'll pay you the price for it, or give it back
why...why is that good
it provides suppressing fire and allows you to get closer to hit more shots hip firing
Because of desync and peakers advantage
does anyone know why eft wont install from battlestage
