u should keep supp anyway

[agile widget]

im so bad

is there an easiest map or sumn

[edgy plover]

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.

thank u

im trying customs now

[gentle perch]

Anyone got a SS of all good shoreline keys?

[peak fulcrum]

[meager shell]

oh shit i didn't know there was a chat for this sorry

[agile widget]

found all this stuff (not the rig and 2 pp ammo clips) what do i do with it

first "successful" extraction ^

[dire folio]

Sell

[agile widget]

how (lol)

[dire folio]

Sell aytachments to mechanic

[meager shell]

You could use the handguard for an m4 or adar but otherwise sell the gunparts to mechanic and the water and meds to therapist

[dire folio]

If they are new id keep the water to kevel metabolism

[meager shell]

oh yeah maybe keep the water now that i think about it

[agile widget]

mech gave me 22k

im prolly not gonna sell meds yet

[hollow minnow]

no

[agile widget]

what do i do with money

[tender cairn]

best way of making money?

[hollow minnow]

keys

to magical places

[unreal horizon]

surviving raids

[tender cairn]

idk where to get ‘em

[hollow minnow]

find them

or buy em

[tender cairn]

no clue what the good ones are either

but i do have a docs case

so i’ll just keep every one i find

[hollow minnow]

just look up a key guide

[unreal horizon]

figure reserve is probably the best set to buy rn, or maybe lighthouse

customs only has a couple good keys, being marked and rooms with safes

[tender cairn]

know nothing about reserve i’ll take my chances at lighthouse

actually

[unreal horizon]

lighthouse is cool cause you don't need many keys

[tender cairn]

safe farming could be good on customs

[unreal horizon]

depends how comfortable you are in dorms

[tender cairn]

they’re good tho right

[unreal horizon]

yeah

[tender cairn]

i ran around naked in there for like a solid 15 minutes lmao

nobody came

to be fair i was in 2 story

[unreal horizon]

funny thing is by the time you survive to hit the safes, you probably have enough loot lol

[tender cairn]

i could just rush dorms with my keys and find the safes

[tender cairn]

yep

1 safe is good enough for me

gonna bring an empty gamma except for docs

[unreal horizon]

safes are stupid underrated

[tender cairn]

ONG

[jaunty sentinel]

safes are busted

[tender cairn]

i make so much every time

i run factory naked rush vault extract

[unreal horizon]

like I go reserve hit 4 safes in 2 mins and get like 300k min

also I'm just an rng godf

[tender cairn]

in the time i was running in dorms i made like 100k

found one safe and a sewing kit

cause i found dorm 105 key in a jacket

[unreal horizon]

swag

[tender cairn]

how good are the lighthouse keys

[unreal horizon]

they're great but you don't need them, still a ton of money to make on the map w/o but it diversifies your options

[tender cairn]

how many good ones are there

i could pistol lh

i needa know if that building beside the actual lighthouse is any good

[unreal horizon]

I use hillside house, Merin, police truck, bedroom marked, conference

very few you need compared to other maps

[tender cairn]

i really need the map genie of lighthouse smh

what’s in the bedroom marked

[unreal horizon]

high tier floor loot ie bitcoins, rolex, skulls, prokill, etc

[viral kettle]

can somone help me do this quest

[tender cairn]

i might get it

[unreal horizon]

my friend claims GPUs but I've never seen it myself

[tender cairn]

use woods map genie

[viral kettle]

can u give link i dont know what that is

[tender cairn]

i’m on phone rn scroll up

somebody else sent it earlier

[blissful thorn]

Google tarkov maps

[tender cairn]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov

@viral kettle

[viral kettle]

i just dont know how to do it tho

[blissful thorn]

All you gotta do is find them, nothin to it

[tender cairn]

u should figure out where u are and look for landmarks

[blissful thorn]

If u don’t know the map very well do an offline raid no scavs and get familiar with landmarks

[unreal horizon]

I'll dm u

[viral kettle]

i gotta find a convoy

[tender cairn]

i’ll probably just buy pro later

cause i need oddly specific settings

[unreal horizon]

fair

it's worth it tbh

also the maps are baller and they work hard as fuck so I don't mind supporting it

[hybrid panther]

need help with golden zibbo quest on customs, anyone down? EU

[viral kettle]

wtf woods is huge

[hybrid panther]

😄

[harsh apex]

Also it's like $10 for the year or something

[unreal horizon]

yeah

[tender cairn]

what’s the other pro map

[tender cairn]

it’s one of the smaller maps i’m pretty sure

[viral kettle]

wah

i just died while pve is off -_-

[vapid flume]

rouge genie

[vapid flume]

how

[mint light]

walked out of the map

[tender cairn]

that’s y i don’t like woods

[mint light]

woods is the easiest map in the game

[bold kernel]

ip69? godly scope

[vapid flume]

Fr

It's cracked when doin rouges

I cant not see them

[raw pelican]

What scav case is the best

[agile widget]

IM SO BAD lmao

[mint light]

[mint light]

cat

[topaz forge]

cat

[viral kettle]

[mint light]

sniper one dosent have sights

u gotta put them on

[viral kettle]

it refreshed they are gone should i bring this

[mint light]

are u buying from fence

[viral kettle]

i was going to

cheaper

[mint light]

lets not

[topaz forge]

tbh fence is fine for a mosin

[mint light]

weapon instantly becomes smoothbored

[topaz forge]

just wants to kill scavs

prob fine

just gotta not be 100m away

[viral kettle]

so this will work?

[mint light]

“work” sure

[topaz forge]

it will definitely shoot bullets that can kill scavs, yea

[mint light]

pray u dont find a real person

[topaz forge]

you gotta get up in their face

[viral kettle]

i just need something to run to usec camp and convoy

[topaz forge]

and yea hope you dont fight a pmc with that

[viral kettle]

which one i have no armour

[tender cairn]

mosin

gl hitting shots tho

[warm cosmos]

hello i wanna farm rouges but i keep dying i go out with a mosin and sling only

[bold kernel]

you may need a little more gear than that tbh

[warm cosmos]

like what?

[bold kernel]

this is what i usually bring into my lighthouse runs it works really well

just some mid armor a huge bag but what matters is the main gun

can you buy the mosin sniper variant?

[warm cosmos]

is it ok if i bring a snipe like vpo or mosin?

[warm cosmos]

yes

i have one rn that is moded with a scope

[bold kernel]

that'll be fine tbh put the rail mount and something like a 1-6x is fine

go suppressed too

[warm cosmos]

do i need a big backbag

[mint light]

what i did really early wipe was naked vpo with vulcan at night lol

then i grew up

[bold kernel]

yeah @warm cosmos you can honestly bring some bad gear just a big bag and good ammo and you are set

and some range too

[bold kernel]

if you want yes some rogues can spawn with t20 bags and you can switch out

[warm cosmos]

yeah that was my original plan

[crimson oriole]

Anyone able to help with "Golden Swag"

[warm cosmos]

this good?

[viral kettle]

is this good

[mint light]

good sight for new players

[viral kettle]

ok

[dapper galleon]

Where’s your meds

[warm cosmos]

ah right

[warm cosmos]

should i put them in my alpha?

[dapper galleon]

With how broke you are yes

Tbh I’d personally put the ammo in your rig as it’s cheep and just put the grizzly in your alpha

Grizzly fixes everything expect blacked limbs

[whole thistle]

Better than an empty container

And far better than no meds

[warm cosmos]

ok so grizzly in alpha

[dapper galleon]

I would do that

Make sure you bring the cheep painkillers

[whole thistle]

You could bring smaller things so you can swap them out for loot

[dapper galleon]

In case you lose a limbs

[warm cosmos]

and some pain meds in my pocket in case of blacked limbs and also stuff for bleeds

[bold kernel]

bruh what am i supposed to do?

[warm cosmos]

sell some of that stuff

sell the antique stuff i think

[bold kernel]

not a single thing is not needed for quests

[warm cosmos]

then sell it

[bold kernel]

wait that sentence was wierd let me rephrase

all of the stuff in the container is needed for quests

[warm cosmos]

hmmmmmmmm

[bold kernel]

i check all the barter items in tarkov.dev

[warm cosmos]

idk if u want to u can sell it

[mint light]

real question is are u gonna get to those quests

[bold kernel]

yes i guess

[bold kernel]

what quests lmao

all kinds of trader quests

[unreal horizon]

why so many mags lol

just bring 1 mag and repack

[bold kernel]

i move around a lot haha

[unreal horizon]

lol

i've been vibing with the 103 today

for like 150k hard to beat

[mint light]

103 is funny

[drifting musk]

What's the best item box for vests, backpacks etc?

[mint light]

thicc

[drifting musk]

aite

but im poor

:(

[unreal horizon]

ragman's sell menu

[drifting musk]

lmao

[bold kernel]

best bargain is items case tbh

thicc may be out of your reach

how much is a items case these days btw

[shrewd girder]

it's there a map in this game ?

[unreal horizon]

nothing good

best to use wiki

[tender cairn]

yes on the internet

[shrewd girder]

i get lost ... ty

[dawn geyser]

If you're ever lost, pop a screenshot in here and people will tell you where you are.

Keep in mind, some extractions are not always available

[bold kernel]

1.7 about

[shrewd girder]

it's ok i don't seem to get to one anyway
ty

[dawn geyser]

In time, my little Timbo

[shrewd girder]

does anyone have the time to play with me and teach me some stuff please ?

[frigid finch]

just curious, how does the game decide if the ai headshots you? is it just random rolls of where their shots are going to land lol, i had an ai see me and second shot headshot me

[dreamy moss]

@ the goons, lol

[tender cairn]

believe the aim gets better each shot

[unreal horizon]

they shoot what they see

so often you're better full swinging than leaning your head out

[tender cairn]

needed to know that

the 7mm buckshot scav is devastating

[frigid finch]

good to know

[unreal horizon]

like if you full swing its a higher chance to get hit but lower chance for it to be fatal

[bold kernel]

Just got the game yesterday, anyone wanna play with me and teach me some stuff about the game, thank you

[tender cairn]

#sherpa-info

people will help u there

[vivid pine]

How do you get fuel?

[topaz forge]

find it in raid or buy from traders

[mint light]

tech spawns or buy it

[topaz forge]

its on flea too but flea is expensive iirc

[vivid pine]

"tech spawns"?

[topaz forge]

yea theres different spawns for groups of items

[vivid pine]

oh ok

[topaz forge]

so like

med crates will have medical items

and theres loose loot as well which doesnt spawn in a container

those loose loot things will still follow the groups mostly

so a loose loot tech spawn can spawn 1 of any tech item

[burnt night]

If i killed tagilla where can i sell his stuff the best

[topaz forge]

rig + helmet go to ragman

shotgun goes to jaeger

[burnt night]

Oke ty

Does his rig sell to ragman if its 0 dur

?

[topaz forge]

nah you have to repair it

[burnt night]

Oke

[meager shell]

i gave the chemical part 4 marker to therapist for the injector case but i didn't get the no offence or loyalty buyout quest, when do i get them?

[topaz forge]

when you restart your game or enter a raid and back out

[meager shell]

ok thank god

[vivid pine]

how is fence's inventory decided? there seems to be everything in there

[unreal horizon]

its whatever people sell to him, on a slight delay

[vivid pine]

all of it?

[topaz forge]

all of it

[vivid pine]

thanks

[viral kettle]

is this good key

[unreal horizon]

yes

[topaz forge]

yea

[unreal horizon]

all the psp/psv's for hermetic bunker are great

[topaz forge]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/RB-PSP2_key

[unreal horizon]

that whole bunker is insane for quests to find food or meds

[viral kettle]

dope

[tropic wave]

any sherpas/guides/etc from SA around?

[topaz forge]

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[vapid flume]

I kill 5 pmcs and die to a scav because out of nowhere I get 600 ping

[bold kernel]

scav doxxed you

[topaz forge]

make a ticket here for SA if you need a sherpa, you are much more likely to get a response there than here@tropic wave

[tropic wave]

thanks dude

[topaz forge]

👍

[viral kettle]

r these good

[tender cairn]

i think the mustache sells for a bit

it’s a streamer item

[vivid pine]

if i wanted to go to dorms with nothing but a shotgun and a kedr what is a good way to approach it?

[vapid flume]

idk its fcking bs, if that scav takes my rd Im going to quit this game

[viral kettle]

is this good

[vapid flume]

its a nice pistol

[tender cairn]

i love that thing

it’s so good

too bad i have to level peacekeeper to level 71

[vapid flume]

I only like the usp personally

[tender cairn]

usp match looks so fresh

[vapid flume]

ye

I one tapped like 12 pmcs with it this wipe

I also one tapped a thermal dude with a makarov

[viral kettle]

i got that and this off someone i killed

[vivid pine]

bruh

[safe rain]

Factory?

[viral kettle]

yeah

[safe rain]

Go figure

[viral kettle]

popped him in the head with a 153

[bold kernel]

it’s fir so is it tagillas saiga?

[viral kettle]

is any of this good

[fervent ermine]

That man killed tagilla then died

[tender cairn]

yes that’s pretty good

helmet kinda mid tho

[jagged laurel]

First two good last one trash

[viral kettle]

or these

[tender cairn]

hideout stuff yes

[viral kettle]

what about this

[tender cairn]

probably the best helmet

[viral kettle]

dope

[tender cairn]

reliable all around

and u can use headsets

[viral kettle]

got it from the guy i killed

[fervent ermine]

https://outplayed.tv/media/yjEO2j too reliable

[viral kettle]

should i keep these

[cobalt oak]

you should use those

[tender cairn]

yes

grenades can determine life or death

[serene reef]

lol

what were you using

m856a1 xD?

[viral kettle]

wtf lmao

[fervent ermine]

M62

308 scar

Did end up wiping that man’s 2 remaining teammates

[viral kettle]

i have this as stuff i should keep am i right about that

[serene reef]

oh yh true mk17

[serene reef]

dont think you really need AA batts

https://tarkov-market.com/item/AA_Battery

[viral kettle]

and should i keep theese turniquites or sell them

i thought they were for hideout

[serene reef]

if you're struggling with space id deffo sell banages and hideout

but you can sell them on flea for p much the same price

as you buy

an vendor only for like half

[viral kettle]

i doNT have flea

lvl 7

[serene reef]

well if you have enough space you can keep em

i'd deffo have sold em

[viral kettle]

i have a grizzly

[unreal horizon]

up to you then

[viral kettle]

so i dont know if i need them

[serene reef]

yeah honestly if i didnt use a grizzly id have hemostats from dead players

[unreal horizon]

might be worth keeping to save a bit of grizzly dura, if thats something important to u

[serene reef]

and they're hogging a lot of unnecessary space

[viral kettle]

it has 900 somehting

[serene reef]

if you can only sell for 2k

[viral kettle]

what about theese

[serene reef]

as d2 said you can just not sell and bring one w/ you every raid to save on grizzly durab

[serene reef]

both good and a keep

[viral kettle]

ok

[unreal horizon]

afaks also vendor for a goofy amount if you need moners

[serene reef]

(keep to use obv)

[whole thistle]

55 fmj

[serene reef]

you make me want to use a g36 with a 100rounder

[unreal horizon]

100 rounders are reserved for warmage

[agile torrent]

Like 30k

Not that much

[topaz forge]

30k per slot is good value

[unreal horizon]

for a 1 slot common item

its not amazing, but its great considering how common they are

[agile torrent]

I think they serve more value then vendoring for 30k

[viral kettle]

should i sell any of this

[agile torrent]

Especially for low levels

[agile torrent]

I would basically sell all of that but before that what level are you?

[viral kettle]

7

[viral kettle]

ok

thanks

[whole thistle]

All of those you can either buy or are worse than what you can buy

[agile torrent]

You can’t buy 545 ps at level 1 anymore

[whole thistle]

True

Also you can take mags and pistol grips off of your guns to save space @viral kettle

You can also fold some of those

[viral kettle]

how

[whole thistle]

Middle click on the gun

[bold kernel]

I've just shot a red flare and no air drop has came?

[whole thistle]

Was it a scav run

[agile torrent]

You have to like shoot it correctly

[bold kernel]

PMC

[whole thistle]

Did you shoot it up?

[bold kernel]

Aimed into the air and shot it

My first time getting a red falre aswel, was excited

flare*

[whole thistle]

F

[drifting musk]

What does ergonomics do?

[whole thistle]

Aim down sight speed

And the volume of aiming in

[drifting musk]

Oh alright

[steady goblet]

Doesnt it do more though

[unreal horizon]

not really

[steady goblet]

That was a question

[unreal horizon]

weight and strength also have an impact thats often confused with ergo

[whole thistle]

No

[steady goblet]

I havent played the game in months

I don’t remember lol

[vivid pine]

any advice for going dorms on customs?

[whole thistle]

Take the side doors

Front door is death

[unreal horizon]

optimally windows but at minimum side door

[olive halo]

yo anyone want offline pvp 1v1

[viral kettle]

r any of these good

[agile torrent]

Depends on your level

Like most things

[viral kettle]

meaning

[whole thistle]

Sell the rails and 6p20

[vivid pine]

need some inventory help as well, am level 7

[agile torrent]

[viral kettle]

sell these right

[vivid pine]

what does this mean

[whole thistle]

Also stick the flashlights on the sprut for storage

[whole thistle]

Yeah

[woeful spruce]

i recomend puuing backpacks into eachother and storing loot in rigs

[agile torrent]

Sell basically everything you won’t need very soon

[whole thistle]

"sell your rsass and flash drives "

[vivid pine]

backpacks are all ful

[agile torrent]

That’s part of the keep group

Since he will need them soon

[vivid pine]

is this a threat

[unreal horizon]

perchance

[feral ingot]

how do I stop shaking irl? i moke weed but clearly not enough

i get in fights and like jump out of my seat or throw my arm or something

[agile torrent]

I’m pretty sure lack of coordination is a result of weed

[vivid pine]

what about fleece?

[feral ingot]

no its not lack of coordination cause i still have the good coordination

[agile torrent]

You don’t need cloths

[whole thistle]

That just comes with getting more comfortable with the game

[feral ingot]

fair enough

[agile torrent]

I don’t think there has ever been anyone before you that has actually used the wishlist

[unreal horizon]

it gets reset

i love wishlist

[viral kettle]

when is the resset

[fervent ermine]

i need to use wishlist more

[whole thistle]

I just use it to buy meds quickly

[fervent ermine]

3 months approx

[viral kettle]

damn

[whole thistle]

It lets you select

[unreal horizon]

best wishlist

saves so much time

[agile torrent]

Sordins

[viral kettle]

what is good armour that i can buy from vendors all lvl 1

[unreal horizon]

tbh you dont really have any good options

paca can stop shotguns and thats about it

[viral kettle]

something to go with this

[vivid pine]

how do i get rid of the failed to sort stash message

[agile torrent]

I guess the ubey is usable

[viral kettle]

this?

[agile torrent]

Yeah

That’s basically all you can get

[whole thistle]

Ragman 6b5

Btw just fyi that helmet makes you super deaf

[mint light]

even tier 3 not blocking shit tbh

[agile torrent]

Tier 3 actually mid

Unlocks backpack barters

That’s it

[olive halo]

what does that icon on the right mean

[viral kettle]

someone wanna come help me do a woods run for a quest

[olive halo]

i think i died because of it

[whole thistle]

Network error type shit

[agile torrent]

You’re screenshit barely captures it but it’s your packet loss

More packet loss=much much more desync

[olive halo]

bull doo doo

[viral lion]

the fuck are you using a scav weapon

enjoy jamming after shooting once

[olive halo]

thanks guys any tips how to get rid of it

[viral kettle]

its that bad

[agile torrent]

Get better internet

[olive halo]

💀

[viral lion]

yes

[whole thistle]

Not that bad bud they always jam at an inconvenient time

[olive halo]

aight thanks

[viral kettle]

i just wanted to use it to get rid of it

[viral lion]

just sell it

[vapid flume]

quest aint near worth it

[tender cairn]

smh

[agile torrent]

Yes it is

Excuse to go labs

Always worth it

[tender cairn]

i want that exp

[viral kettle]

what i take to woods

[tender cairn]

do u have jaegar unlocked

[viral kettle]

nope

[agile torrent]

[viral lion]

bruh

[tender cairn]

buy an sks from prapor

[agile torrent]

That limits your options a lot

[limber cliff]

every single gun in there is an interchange gun

[tender cairn]

yep

[viral lion]

@limber cliffyo

[limber cliff]

if you ask

[viral kettle]

i got them all from factory

[limber cliff]

about gingy keychain

again

im gonna fucking kill you

irl

[whole thistle]

Why not use one of the vpos

[viral lion]

cat rights got a gingy before you

[limber cliff]

🙏 he can blow me with braces

[tender cairn]

just realized he doesn’t have access to 20 round sks

[viral lion]

you cant

[whole thistle]

20 Rd mags are on pk 1

[tender cairn]

oh they are?

[agile torrent]

Literally anything can go on interchange

Like interchange has only timmies

So like you could probably succeed with melee

[viral kettle]

so a sks with 20 rnd mags

[agile torrent]

Tbh on woods really anything that kills scavs works

Pmcs are easy enough to avoid

[solid lion]

you'll be fine with the 74s on woods

sell those vpos tho

[agile torrent]

762 vpo is the best low level gun

Large mags customizable

Generally very efficient

[solid lion]

it will cost more to customize them than they're worth

[limber cliff]

interchange does not have only timmies

[agile torrent]

Yes it does

[limber cliff]

go run interchange solo rn bismillah

[whole thistle]

It's the same amount as any ak

[agile torrent]

I basically only run into people under level 30

All have rat gear

Like I run scav guns and still get 4 kills per raid

[limber cliff]

i cant run solo interchange around kiba or rasmussen because its straight labs players

[agile torrent]

Bruh

I open kiba every raid

Just rats

[solid lion]

without the full auto capability

[limber cliff]

how do you open kiba every raid

no one turns on power

[agile torrent]

Because I turn on power

[limber cliff]

it's like 1/10 for power to be turnedo n

[agile torrent]

I do everything

[limber cliff]

thats why you only run into timmies 🙏

[agile torrent]

Interchange rats are afraid of noise

[whole thistle]

It's still not expensive to put a grip and sight on lol

[agile torrent]

Turn on power and they run away

[limber cliff]

run straight into interchange

[agile torrent]

If I run straight into the mall I get 0 loot

[limber cliff]

how does that make sense

[agile torrent]

Players have no loot

And the map itself has no loot

[limber cliff]

i dont think u know where loot is on interchange

silly billy

[agile torrent]

Kiba occasionally has something

[agile torrent]

Like 4 gpu spawns and stashes

That’s it

If you don’t have gpu on interchange you have nothing

[limber cliff]

it's got 5 tech rooms

[solid lion]

and a million pliers

[limber cliff]

plus like 4 med rooms

plus all the food

[whole thistle]

RIP old interchange

[agile torrent]

There is a total of 0 ledx spawns

[solid lion]

pliers = profit

[agile torrent]

Like 5 ledx spawns that haven’t spawned since 12.11

[whole thistle]

Ultra med fell off

Techlight mid

Map is gone

[agile torrent]

The entire map is mid

[limber cliff]

ultra med is literally nothing now

necrus is daddy 🙏

[agile torrent]

Bruh

[whole thistle]

1 bandage

[agile torrent]

That has a Zagustin if you’re lucky

[limber cliff]

ill go in there an occasionally find a propital

always spawns med supplies for me

plus a few stims

[agile torrent]

I get like bandages

Maybe

[viral lion]

gingy

[limber cliff]

do i start using my FIR dorms keys

im out of non FIR ones

[agile torrent]

Sell them to me for cheap

We are best buds

[limber cliff]

sell me a fir gingy keychain and we straight

i'd deadass give 3 FIR marked for 1 FIR gingy

[viral kettle]

is this good for a woods run

[agile torrent]

Kappa is so mid

Waste of time

[limber cliff]

no

im getting kappa because ive never gotten kappa before

never getting it again

[viral lion]

the thing is

[limber cliff]

100% wasnt worth it but im already pretty much there

[viral lion]

you will never get it

[limber cliff]

if i'm never getting it then you're never even dreaming of it

🙏

[viral lion]

i only play scav

[limber cliff]

whats ur fence rep

[agile torrent]

Scav mains are actually brain dead

[viral lion]

first i started kill on sight now im good boi

0.92

[agile torrent]

Bruh

I ain’t even play scav and I have 4.72

[viral lion]

car extract give rep right ?

if pmc

[agile torrent]

Yes

[viral lion]

that how

🤷‍♂️

[limber cliff]

bro

you dont even play the game

you can get 3 fence rep so easy without even playing scav

[viral lion]

i dont play pmc and i dont use car extract

and you will never find a gingy

[limber cliff]

i think you are a confused timmy

🙏

[viral lion]

im having fun i got money i have alot of ash ammo so yeah timmy or not

who cares

[topaz forge]

what the hell do you even do as a scav main

you get like 1 task from fence

and thats it

[viral lion]

i loot sell stuff buy the ash ammo or buy stuff

[indigo hill]

i hate shoreline

[topaz forge]

why loot or sell if you dont play pmc

[viral lion]

delete inventory and start again

[solid lion]

you only scav? what's the point of playing then?

[viral lion]

i play from time to time

[topaz forge]

[limber cliff]

scav maining is literally just waiting to play the game and then looking at your shiny loot

you need to balance both

pmc and scav

[viral lion]

its all about having fun what's the point of buying a game if i dont have any fun and keep on sweating and grinding in a survival game

grind all wipe just to start again

[limber cliff]

you are grinding on a scav

[solid lion]

so you grind all wipe and never use anything you loot

[limber cliff]

if you value loot at all on a scav then you are grinding

[whole thistle]

Wait you actually only scav that's not a joke

[solid lion]

that's double fail

[viral lion]

i use them who said i dont use

[solid lion]

how do you use loot if you can't equip your scavs

[limber cliff]

if you only scav how do you use your loot

[solid lion]

you confused?

[viral lion]

full inventory i go on a factory run die and fill again

[limber cliff]

what

so you do use your pmc

[solid lion]

so you're just talking out your ass because you do run pmc?

[viral lion]

yes but not alot

[indigo hill]

shiney loot scav based person

[limber cliff]

so just say you main scav not only run scav 🙏

[solid lion]

you're basically saying that you're so bad that you lose all your stuff so you need to scav to get more gear

[viral lion]

i play a pmc raid every 40 scav run

[limber cliff]

40??????

[topaz forge]

holy shit

[limber cliff]

bro a good kit is like 300k for a pmc

are you pulling out 10k per scav?

[solid lion]

do you die 39/40 scav runs?

[viral lion]

i stopped taking this game seriously after i lost alot of good kits to cheaters so i stopped

[limber cliff]

bro

im sorry

but

[topaz forge]

[agile torrent]

So then just quit

[limber cliff]

you sounding like skill issue rn

no cap

🙏

[viral lion]

i did for 2 months and i started again like 2 weeks ago

[solid lion]

you lost all your gear to "cheaters" so you just scav....

[agile torrent]

Also if you really die to cheaters that much it’s probably jus type

[viral lion]

yes

[vivid pine]

FINALLY GOT THAT TUSHONKA

[viral lion]

thats what max said 2 months ago

[fervent ermine]

killed you = cheater ong

[solid lion]

you'll need 15 small ones later

[vivid pine]

FUCK

[viral lion]

a team of 4 all tac teck helmets fully custom and we all died in 3 seconds all head eye

explain that

[bold kernel]

Simply better

[viral lion]

all of us head eye what are the chances ?

[fervent ermine]

tac-kek helmets max class 3 eye pro

ps can one tap all of you lmao

[viral lion]

not the replica

[topaz forge]

wow 1 death to something that might possibly be a cheater but you dont have confirmation

insane

[viral lion]

literally the same bullshit just like when i said i died to cheaters everyone said its a skill issue and he just bad and everyone started defending the game and saying no hackers lmao

so yeah skill issue it is

[solid lion]

there are cheaters but 90% of your deaths are skill issue

[bold kernel]

To be fair entire wipe I’ve only died to 100% blatant cheaters 3-5 times tops on light house not even labs

[topaz forge]

seen 3-4 cheaters in 450 raids

[bold kernel]

^

[vivid pine]

is the vortex 30mm razor a good scope?

[bold kernel]

Yes

[vapid flume]

Do you play on like weird asf servers

[vivid pine]

and the N-15 NVGs?

[vapid flume]

or us

[topaz forge]

nae

never see cheaters

[vapid flume]

or just werid maps

[topaz forge]

there are no weird maps

[vapid flume]

I go on reserve or labs and boi

last reserve I did I got headshot through a wall from afar

he shot multiple times and only hit head

[topaz forge]

you are saying words

[vapid flume]

Yes I am saying words

[bold kernel]

Bro I go labs often and haven’t seen 1 cheater yet and I play on nae.. idk how y’all running into so many. Most I’ve seen are on light house carrying Timmy’s to riches

[topaz forge]

if anyone actually clipped their cheater deaths people might believe them

[bold kernel]

This

[vivid pine]

where are these hackers that carry timmys you speak of?

[vapid flume]

I have gon labs like 6 times and 3/6 I died to headeyes from a dude who was floatin around

[mint light]

i clip all my cheater deaths

[topaz forge]

and even then half the time desync makes people look like cheaters

[bold kernel]

Bad luck I guess

[topaz forge]

or some weird audio issue

[vapid flume]

Ive definetly died to dysync

alot

[split dagger]

https://streamable.com/li4vmj

https://streamable.com/5iznpm

[vapid flume]

worst red flare airdrop ive ever seen

[split dagger]

https://streamable.com/zqq2yi

[viral lion]

he's just better

skill issue

good gaming chair

[vivid pine]

this shit the reason why im afraid of tarkov

[topaz forge]

its not very common lol

[vivid pine]

but what if

[mint light]

im sure the cheater wants ur paca bro

[vivid pine]

BUT WHAT IF

[bold kernel]

Yes I believe you. I’m just saying bad luck to running into them. I have close to 1000 raids and only seen maybe 5 max.

That I know of…

[vapid flume]

ive only came across like 3 cheaters on other servers, on us servers though Ive came across like 20 in the past 2 wipes

[topaz forge]

20

lol

where

[vapid flume]

Mostly reserve

[bold kernel]

But like I said all of them have been light house carrying Timmy’s to riches

[topaz forge]

ive seen less than 10 nae since 12.5

[split dagger]

cap

[summer cedar]

is it a good idea to try and ration my fuel for crafting or should i keep it running all the way through?

[vapid flume]

Ok you're just lucky/

[topaz forge]

no

[split dagger]

if u only get max traders and quit after that of course u wont encounter many

[solid lion]

no point keeping them on unless you have your farms running and even then its not really worth the cost

[whole thistle]

I usually keep it in because I want whatever I'm crafting quickly

[vivid pine]

do you guys just mainly buy fuel?

[summer cedar]

well i'm trying to craft 2 salewas, and i'm level 6

[split dagger]

yes

[whole thistle]

I think he means starting a craft then turning it off lmao

[bold kernel]

Yes or find it

[whole thistle]

Just leave it on

[solid lion]

oh yeah, keep the power on to finish crafting

[whole thistle]

No point in waiting so long for something you need

[bold kernel]

Facts I leave mine on 24/7 for ammo crafts but that’s about all I use it for

[summer cedar]

ok

on another note, where the hell do measuring tapes and spark plugs spawn?

[bold kernel]

Tool boxes

[vivid pine]

technical crates and toolboxes

[summer cedar]

i remember seeing so many of the two years ago, but i've scavved like 8 times on interchange and not a single one

[vivid pine]

what scope mount does the Razor 30mm use?

[whole thistle]

30 mm

[split dagger]

any 30mm mount

[vivid pine]

oh ok

[fervent ermine]

one of the mounts doesnt take it for some reason

[vivid pine]

and only jager sells them i presume

[split dagger]

idk i only use nf

[solid lion]

interchange storage rooms has plenty

[summer cedar]

which storage rooms?

i usually check the shelves in oli

[solid lion]

the whole back warehouse area

[frigid finch]

ok, doing all factory quests at night from now on...it is so fucking easy

[summer cedar]

by goshan?

[solid lion]

behind goshan on all the shelves

[summer cedar]

yep, i check there and still nothing

maybe it's because i go as a scav

[solid lion]

there's also like o tool boxes back there

8

[frigid finch]

who should i be doing the chemical part 4 quest for?

why does eod matter?

[split dagger]

therapist always for injectors case

they give u a task later to redeem yourself

i think u gotta pay some money to skier i dont remember exactly

[edgy plover]

If you don't have EOD, give it to skier

[whole thistle]

You can use ignore the rep tasks

[frigid finch]

wait, can i not abandon a quest after i accept it?

[edgy plover]

When you complete 1 of the 3 it will fail the other 2

[frigid finch]

i just took new quests as they come and took skiers chemical part 4 not realizing there were multiple

[vivid pine]

does the surviL lighter do anything?

[edgy plover]

Yea, when you accept Chem4 it auto accepts the other traders version of that task

[frigid finch]

ohhh ok

so ill get the choice at the end

[edgy plover]

https://tarkov-market.com/item/survl_survivor_lighter

[edgy plover]

It's all about who you turn it into

[vivid pine]

need a disposable syringe and a piece of soap where is a good place to find those?

[unreal horizon]

probably emercom camp on woods

lots of crates

[edgy plover]

Anywhere meds can spawn, ^^^ emercom is best

It's called military camp on Mapgenie

[vivid pine]

is that interchange?

[edgy plover]

No, like D-2 said, it's on Woods

[topaz forge]

emercom is also on interchange but that requires a key

emercom camp is woods

[tough gyro]

Approximately how many raids will it take to get from lvl 8-9 search

[vivid pine]

alr

[agile torrent]

900

[unreal horizon]

its an exit on interchange probably what you're thinking of

[thick lake]

how can i report a tk

[agile torrent]

Was it in the discord

[thick lake]

yes

[vivid pine]

is a PSU worth keeping?

[zinc canopy]

#discord-mod-mail

[peak fulcrum]

Make sure you recorded it

[peak fulcrum]

Depends on how much exp you get per raid and tasks you get done

[tough gyro]

What if I get max

Each raid

[peak fulcrum]

^what he said

Oh sad Nevermind

[tropic wave]

what is the best overall starter map?

[edgy plover]

sorry I thought he was talking about level

[peak fulcrum]

In terms of learning fast

[edgy plover]

not search xp

[tropic wave]

one where i'm not gonna get jumped by someone 5 minutes into the raid

[peak fulcrum]

Interchange cache routes as a scav

[peak fulcrum]

Fair enough

[edgy plover]

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

At this point in the wipe maps like Interchange and Shoreline are also viable starter maps

[peak fulcrum]

You can shoot me a message and I can show you some routes and answer any questions you have on maps and the link that shep is an amazing link I’ve used it since day 1 of wipe

[tropic wave]

thanks dude

[peak fulcrum]

Can never go wrong with running in the shape of a cube on interchange along the fence 😜

[tropic wave]

i'm having some major issues with routes n stuff, havent been able to get almost any loot at all

[peak fulcrum]

When did you start the game?

[tropic wave]

like, my stash is already empty and my bank account too

[tropic wave]

2 days ago

[peak fulcrum]

R u eu?

[tropic wave]

i've been trying to find people to play with but im at SA so not much luck there

[peak fulcrum]

South American?

[edgy plover]

#regional-communities

[tropic wave]

the few groups i landed all had like 300 ping so no deal

[tropic wave]

yes

[peak fulcrum]

Oh sad I’m eu I was gonna offer to jump into a vc and run a quick scav with u show you some routes

[tropic wave]

there isnt a brazilian discord cited there unfortunately

[tropic wave]

yeah, the geography really fucks us over sometimes

appreciate the link though

[edgy plover]

Argentinian and Chilean though, might find some luck there

[peak fulcrum]

Jump into a few vcs now and than and see if anyone is close to your region! I know how u feel I’m eu but all my buddies play NA and I have dog water WiFi, and if you have any questions shoot me a message my dms are always open or tag me in chat I monitor my discord regularly! We also@have some amazing sherpas like shep that are more than whiling to help with any concerns you may have!

[unborn crystal]

doing the starter quests on customs need help beginers 18

[tropic wave]

sure thing bro, thanks for the tips

[edgy plover]

There are several SA sherpas but they're all argentinian if I'm not mistaken, if you're interested I can put you in touch though

[peak fulcrum]

No problem, stay safe out there 🤙🏻

[tropic wave]

i'm very much interested

im getting my ass handed to me in a platter constantly lol

[peak fulcrum]

Don’t get to over whelmed about that my dude, Tarkov meant to be hard at first, but you’ll get the hang of it and soon be showing your friends that are new to the game the routes you take! It’s tough at first but if your at the bottom of the hill only way forward is up!

[tropic wave]

ah yes. its just a game y'now, no point on getting worked up about it

we're all here to have fun after all

[peak fulcrum]

Jesus my auto spell check sucks 😂😂

I swear I’m not stupid with my English I mean why say many words when few do trick!

[normal heath]

Anyone have tips for using grenades? Bought some impact nades for grenadier and got 2/8, but mostly trying to improve my combat

Also anyone done the math on how many raids with an sj6 and air filter it will take to get max endurance?

[ripe temple]

Putting in an air filter into the unit doesn’t do anything

At least last I checked

You get the boost regardless

[normal heath]

Complete waste of money?

[tender cairn]

yall what does ergo even do

[frigid finch]

leg meta ftw!

[topaz forge]

helps mainly with ads speed and the noise you make when adsing

[tender cairn]

ok

[topaz forge]

no

thats mainly gun weight

ergo doesnt affect stamina very much

[normal heath]

~464 raids to get max endurance with an sj6

Less because as you level up it gets faster

[peak fulcrum]

I learned the higher the ergo the longer you can hold your gun aimed down sights

But I believe he is correct just in a different way, the amount of weight on your character determines also how fast you aim down sights

[topaz forge]

the weight has a much stronger effect on the ads duration

[frigid finch]

wait are you saying...TWO people can be right at the same time? that is insane

[peak fulcrum]

But wait there’s more…

3 people can be right TOOO!!

Lol I’m sleep deprived

[frigid finch]

FUCKING MIND BLOWN

i thought this was the internet where only one person could be right about something and everyone else was dead wrong

[peak fulcrum]

Laughs in ergo tho 😂😂

[frigid finch]

no room for nuance or subtlety

[peak fulcrum]

I don’t believe in that there’s always 6 sides to a story or opinion lol

I’m color blind

[frigid finch]

i had to shake that off lol

[peak fulcrum]

Hey guys!!

Im more than happy to help any low lvl new players, you are more than welcome to tag me or dm me for any help or just questions about Tarkov in general. I check my discord through out the day!!

I know a ton about healing in this game, and can help with fire team tactics as well as learning the maps and money routes so don’t hesitate to tag me or shoot me a message!

Note: I will do my best to answer any questions you may have!! If I don’t know the answer I will find someone who does!!

[trail lava]

I am really struggling to learn maps other than woods.

[peak fulcrum]

I got you! Has anyone sent u the website map genie?

Also are you eu or can you connect to eu servers… my WiFi dog water I can play just sucks that I can’t connect to NA servers and help everyone…

[trail lava]

how do you change servers?

[peak fulcrum]

Who’s ever party leader is hosting the server

[mint light]

choose servers in the launcher

[peak fulcrum]

So if I was party leader you’d be trying to connect with me on my servers thus your ping would be a tad higher than normal if you have slightly above average WiFi

[trail lava]

Okay I should have really good internet. Looks like my ping for EU netherlands is sitting around 95-105 and the other are slightly higher not sure how bad that is.

[peak fulcrum]

Anything above 200 you’ll dysence now and than 90-100 isn’t the best but you’ll stay connected

@trail lava are you busy around 3 hour before this time? And here’s the phone or pc pocket map

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov

[frigid finch]

how can you check your ping

[peak fulcrum]

Tis an amazing tool

[peak fulcrum]

If your ping is about 30-40 it will show in the top right corner

[mint light]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/544465425191403520/1029855715835248720/server.png is this an issue

[peak fulcrum]

Not showing is good, Green is good, yellow is ehhh, red is oh dear…

[frigid finch]

if its less than that?

[trail lava]

From the main start menu before you launch. I hit change server and it showed me a list of all servers and my current ping.

[peak fulcrum]

It won’t pop up meaning u have good ping

[frigid finch]

sweet, i never see anything up there is why i asked lol

[peak fulcrum]

@frigid finch that too my example was during a raid

[peak fulcrum]

What’s that?

[mint light]

i am discord

[peak fulcrum]

All hail the discord

[trail lava]

Yes I usually am. Thank you i will check out the map genie thing as well.

[mint light]

professional discorder

[peak fulcrum]

Hit me up if you have any questions we can go on some raids tomorrow!

[trail lava]

Sounds good

[peak fulcrum]

YOU GUYS NAMED IT SKIER!!!! That’s amazing!!! …or is that actually it’s name?

[peak fulcrum]

Am I good to send you a quick message?

[trail lava]

Sure thing

[topaz forge]

[fervent ermine]

You got #1 in weapon modding

[agile torrent]

High scav karma is actually money printer

[mint light]

less money than when u start with, reset ur account bro

[frigid finch]

dude, first wipe, only level 20, playing completely solo, im pretty ok with it lol

[mint light]

is this the new meta

[mint light]

u wouldnt be ok with it if u had high scav rep

ur literally dirt poor

[bold kernel]

oddly it looks good

[mint light]

276 is less than a gun for me

[frigid finch]

ive thrown millions away on weapons and shit to lose them instantly, bought two junk boxes for over 2 mil lol, im pretty ok with it

[bold kernel]

instantly oh nahhh

[frigid finch]

dude i suck lol

[bold kernel]

not an excuse for your scav rep though...

[frigid finch]

oh thats just for funsies

my fave thing is when people are friendly in voip, then i shoot them in the face

[bold kernel]

it's your first wipe so i wouldn't sweat it but come on

[frigid finch]

next wipe ill play scav for real lol, but this wipe ive had more fun just going full murder

[mint light]

whatever floats ur boat man

[agile torrent]

I remember before scav rep existed

Good times

[frigid finch]

I don’t mind the wait, I really don’t enjoy playing on the scav anyway

[mint light]

no one does

[summer cedar]

what's a good gun to run on a budget?

[mint light]

but its a free 500k a raid

[mint light]

level?

[summer cedar]

7

i have 450k

[mint light]

the guns ur currently buying now

[summer cedar]

sks

[mint light]

mosin sks ump vepr km

[frigid finch]

I know it’s good…it’s just not really fun cause it’s just a boring shitty battle royale at that point…with no consequence it doesn’t feel like tarkov at all to me

[topaz forge]

you can get 20 rounders for the sks from peacekeeper ll1

its pretty nice

[summer cedar]

i die before i can fire 20 shots lmao

[mint light]

wait till u get good at the game and there is basically no consequence on death

[summer cedar]

but thanks

[mint light]

just buy another kit

[polar salmon]

if i go in as a scav will the guys at the military camp shoot me

woods

[dire folio]

Sherp got deleted

[frigid finch]

Then I will absolutely stop playing lol

[summer cedar]

why was that message deleted?

[mint light]

took me one wipe to get my bearing

[dire folio]

Probably noticed max alresdy helped

[topaz forge]

rip shep

[topaz forge]

shturman? yes, unless you have 6+ rep

[frigid finch]

I’ll prolly play until I’m geared and rich and dying doesn’t matter each wipe, then stop…cause it’s boring after that

[mint light]

when ur equal to the entire playerbase
