most items are used for quests and hideout

ornate geyser
#

I've been holding onto just about anything purple. Until I have more then 5 except for kek tape

brittle canyon
#

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

ornate geyser
#

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.

brisk wharf
#

most of those "lists" might be outdated, so go 1 by 1 through wiki pages for each item

brittle canyon
#

database for tarkov app

ornate geyser
worldly patrol
#

Does any1 have the lighthouse map?

#

Nvm found it

astral sluice
#

Moonshine or intel or 95k for danexert forklift?

spiral flicker
#

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

mystic crypt
#

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

robust robin
#

Prone in the nearest bush

#

20 ft is like 8m isnt it ao probably just beg for coop extract

bold kernel
#

anyone down to run some raids? i am new

weary tiger
#

any ways of getting fence rep fast ?

olive bough
#

Car extracts, co-op extracts

worldly patrol
#

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?

limber granite
#

Anyone who has access to flea who could help me with some quests?

brittle canyon
#

flea

brittle canyon
#

and traders have better prices for mods in general

worldly patrol
#

Okok

brittle canyon
#

but yes go through flea

#

and examine everything

worldly patrol
#

Ok thanks man

bold kernel
#

So since this mag is internal, I will have to put the bullets one by one without changing magazines?

bold kernel
#

ok

rugged badge
#

Possibly convince em to do coop extract

brittle canyon
#

can also topload that or buy multiple and reload

#

also that bullet is trash

bold kernel
#

pls dont use

bold kernel
#

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?

brittle canyon
#

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

robust robin
#

Imagine an akm with ap-m thatdbe funny

brittle canyon
#

yeah it's called 762 bp

bold kernel
#

so I can't use this?

robust robin
#

Yup a middle round, horrible recoil though

bold kernel
brittle canyon
#

see also: 300 blackout rounds fit in 556 magazines but don't work inside 556 guns

robust robin
#

Just because the barrel diameter

brittle canyon
#

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

bold kernel
#

I got baited basically

brittle canyon
#

no you lacked critical information

bold kernel
#

and died like a fool

brittle canyon
#

as they say

bold kernel
robust robin
#

Doesnt the game tell you that the gun wont work

brittle canyon
#

only when the bullet is loaded in the gun

#

then it turns red

bold kernel
brittle canyon
#

not in the mag

#

cuz it is still compatible with the mag just not with the gun

bold kernel
#

This gun is loaded with those bullets. Only when I hover over it will it tell me about the issue

robust robin
#

Tarkov for ya

bold kernel
#

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

brittle canyon
#

how does a map be bugged

#

wow that is not how grammar works

#

anyway skill issue

wheat smelt
#

So helpful

brittle canyon
#

ikr

bold kernel
wheat smelt
#

Anyway. What is the best map for scav kills?

bold kernel
wheat smelt
#

Well that's going to be fun considering I need scav kills with a makarov

bold kernel
#

good luck

wheat smelt
#

I'm gonna need it

bold kernel
#

factory has been filled with m4's recently for me

#

lol

wheat smelt
#

There are only two types of players in factory. Absolute chads, or naked pistol bois

bold kernel
#

and i am

#

the chad

#

smile

brittle canyon
#

factory, but you pray you get a gate 0 spawn and just let the first 5 minutes go

wheat smelt
#

Even when I do go in as a chad, I'm not a chad

bold kernel
bold kernel
wheat smelt
#

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

bold kernel
#

lol

wheat smelt
bold kernel
#

its a bit hard to be full w key tho

#

since its late wipe now and I haven't played much this wipe

wheat smelt
#

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

bold kernel
#

I usually speed thru tasks early wipe lul but yeah i feel that hard

wheat smelt
#

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.

bold kernel
#

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

wheat smelt
#

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

bold kernel
#

insuring is kinda meh tbh

proper forum
#

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?

wheat smelt
#

You'll need a access card everytime you go into labs

bold kernel
#

yup

#

every time

#

access card

proper forum
#

mmh, sucks

bold kernel
#

can't get into labs without one lol

wheat smelt
#

Kind of Yeah but it makes sense

bold kernel
#

I'd just reroll that homie

wheat smelt
#

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

bold kernel
#

labs isn't rlly worth it anymore tbh

wheat smelt
#

So I've heard but I dont really get how?

#

Isnt it supposed to be a 'loot buffet' or something?

proper forum
#

hm I rerolled, now I need to kill 70(!) scavs from more then 50m, lol

bold kernel
#

changed my servers to Germany, I hope the people here are worse

proper forum
#

and the reroll cost me 200k

#

oh well

wheat smelt
proper forum
#

ok

bold kernel
proper forum
#

sounds like something I can achive naturally by just playing

bold kernel
#

its ruined alot by hacxors

#

from a loot sense its just not as good lol

wheat smelt
#

Good to know. Might just sell the access cards then I guess

proper forum
#

And I get 50k XP for that quest, so that is something to work for

wheat smelt
#

I'd love to get 50k xp lmao

bold kernel
#

ratting is dumb

wheat smelt
#

Well I am dumb. And extremely bad half the time

bold kernel
#

should fr stop that and be chad w key

wheat smelt
#

I guarantee you I'll take in a slick and a ulach or something and die to a scav

bold kernel
#

then just

#

shoot him

#

ez

wheat smelt
#

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

bold kernel
wheat smelt
#

That is very true

bold kernel
#

How do I buy a better one?

bold kernel
wheat smelt
#

As you level up traders, better ones will be available

bold kernel
#

wrong

wheat smelt
#

?

bold kernel
#

one only bigger 1 is available

wheat smelt
#

Ah

bold kernel
#

you cann get another from doing punisher quest line

#

but if you want the big one you gotta buy eod

#

or get kapa

#

kappa

bold kernel
wheat smelt
#

I bought eod lmao

bold kernel
#

its really..

bold kernel
#

Punishing

bold kernel
#

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

bold kernel
#

ok awesome

#

so there are about 2 wipes per year?

wise ether
#

Yes

#

Nikita is the almighty who determines it

#

No one really knows just speculation

bold kernel
#

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

wise ether
#

They are planning for dlc maps in the future but we don’t have very much information on that

#

Streets i think is free

@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)

a little or a lot

#

or u cant acquire said items

Don’t worry about your guns just do your quests and then worry about it when you know how to use em.

if you get below -1 then scavs will shoot you on sight when ur a scav

maybe -2

idk

someone told me it was -1

outer mulch
#

oof, ok

#

ill be careful

#

what's the best way to get it up? not kill scavs and extract?

versed aurora
#

car and co-op extracts

woeful spruce
#

also using car exits as pmc

viral prawn
#

Car or co-op extracts first time give 0.25, then 0.13

outer mulch
#

oh interesting

viral prawn
#

First 4 extracts on that specific car/co-op totals to 0.52 rep

outer mulch
#

i've never actually done coops cause i always get shot on sight by pmcs

#

how would you ever do that

bold kernel
#

im new anyone wanna play im 13

viral prawn

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

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

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

if you hear someone and run at them instead of flanking idk man

# short scroll Just joined the game today because a friend told me to get it. He said do tasks ...

Start with Woods or Customs
Woods is harder to learn but safer.
Customs is easier to learn but more dangerous.
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

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.
