beginners-assistance

[signal chasm]

Even back of the head and ears too

[split trellis]

yeah but sometimes when your screen gets blurred you can know it has just saved you

[signal chasm]

I'm using the kind that covers the ears and also allows you to use headphones

[signal chasm]

True

But still, I just wanted opinions

[split trellis]

well when you are broke you can raid without them

[signal chasm]

I'm quite rich tbh

[split trellis]

but sometimes another 50-80k can save the rest of your equip

[fierce narwhal]

i like using helmets mainly because when i don't use them i have 4 slots in stash taken

[signal chasm]

Not filthy rich but, I've got a few mill

[signal chasm]

👌

Thanks for the replies, I was just curious of what other players think of helmets

[clever shard]

I don't usually wear a helmet. It is usually the difference between being overweight and underweight for me. The can still be useful so idk if I'd recommend not wearing one

[signal chasm]

So you don't usually wear them?

I was just asking because for me, I usually get head-eyes, head-ears, or back of the head. So it came to mind, are they really worth the 40 to 60k rubles?

[clever shard]

No I don't

[signal chasm]

Mk. Noted, ty

[mint light]

i dont wear helmets

i have the money to buy them

i wear them if i kill a guy who has one

and its like decent and allows me to hear

[clever shard]

Helmets can consistently protect against scavs and will save you a few times from pmcs with a bit of luck

[signal oriole]

Hey anyone know if I wanna beginner lfg what chat I use?

[mellow current]

guys hi playing couple days, all cool just got 1 question, just now spawned as scav and had toxic debuff it's because Halloween or it's normal random debuff in all my scav runs never had such a ting before this update

[mint light]

its for halloween

[mellow current]

how to detox it? cuz if i get it on my main idk if i can get out in one piece

died like in 60 sec or something

[sharp seal]

Augmentin pills of xtg stim

[cedar badger]

Hey fellas what does the bake ezy book do

[quiet mauve]

You use it in some recipes mainly

[sharp seal]

Its not too bad to keep tbh

Just in case

[mellow current]

um so i'll need med lvl 2 for that i assume? no other ways?

[cedar badger]

Recipes?

[opaque garnet]

Different crafting recipies in your hideout

[cedar badger]

Oooh I haven't really upgraded the hideout much

[quiet mauve]

Yeah at the nutrition station or whatever it’s called

[cedar badger]

Is it worth it to upgrade the hideout?

[quiet mauve]

Yeah

[harsh pagoda]

do you not lose rep for killing scavs because of the event because I keep getting killed on scav runs

[quiet mauve]

Not sure if they changed it with the event but I always get killed by player scavs on scav runs especially factory

[opaque garnet]

pretty sure you still lose scav rep if you kill friendly scavs

[empty mountain]

looking for 2-3 people to help me with a quest on woods

I need to find the fuel stashes

Ping me if you're able to help

[frigid finch]

is there any point in playing this game right now? because everything i have been reading today just makes it seem like garbage

like 1.5 mil lol

im pretty sure i have quite a few of those

am i gonna lose money if i play?

[sharp seal]

Youll just use money

[frigid finch]

lol so pistol runs it is

how long is this going to be? i will be so fucking pissed if it goes through the weekend

fuck

god dammit

[unreal horizon]

its gotta go to at least haloween

[frigid finch]

like how the fuck do they think making the game unplayable for two weeks is fun

my first

[unreal horizon]

if you're lvl 15 (which is easily achievable) its playable

[frigid finch]

i am

[lusty crow]

what are the best aks? is there like a tier list? i can get so many now idk which i should use. obviously something in 7.62

lol i have AK-101/102/104 xD

also how does the AKMSN compare?

oh okay

[jagged laurel]

it is time to get funky on st louis

going in with tozs with thermals and slicks and shit

[frigid finch]

like i cant even get through a scav run without running out of energy

[jagged laurel]

dont run your stamina into the red

you get almost double the energy that way

always stop when it starts to get close to being red

[lusty crow]

didnt know that

[jagged laurel]

yup

you shouldnt run out of energy that way

exhausted

or exhaustion

its called faitigue

technically

[mint light]

id say realistically rd704 ak103 and akm in that order

because akm is just kinda useless now and ak103 is good on a budget

and rd704 cheap and low recoil

[hybrid frigate]

i can delete and rephrase

i am a new player coming from Val and just wanna get into this game

lots to learn

i played a bit or ARMA

of

[frigid finch]

absolutely terrible time to get into this game

[cedar badger]

Magnum buckshot, thoughts

[mint light]

good for low levels

hurts the legs

[cedar badger]

wait why is this a bad time to get into the game?

[mint light]

the event

[frigid finch]

the event is newbie murder

[hybrid frigate]

oh yeah i noticed the event its BRUTAL

LOL

[mint light]

its no big deal if u have flea

if u dont ur fucked

[hybrid frigate]

love running in the dark till i get shot in the dome

[cedar badger]

Ooohh I see

[mint light]

thirst isnt an issue

u lose hunger pretty fast, but u can just bring food

and they made pineapple juice mini propital

[ripe temple]

imagine dying from no energy or hydration laughs in elite metabolism

[frigid finch]

and also to confirm...no rep lose for murdering scavs as a scav....so cant even scav safely right now

[mint light]

only for ai i believe

[cedar badger]

Question, flechette or magnum

[unreal horizon]

pretty sure you still die from energy blackout, just dont take dmg over time

[frigid finch]

nah definitely just killed a player scav and no loss

[mint light]

who knows

scavs for crabs anyway its all g

run pmc

[ripe temple]

imagine dying from no hydration laughs in elite metabolism

[frigid finch]

i just killed 6 scavs and a rogue, two of which were def player scavs

[verbal ivy]

anyone know what maps are still day time ?

[ripe temple]

yeah i havent played in the last month or so

[frigid finch]

i just did a scav run on lighthouse and it was daytime

[bold kernel]

as a scav right?

[frigid finch]

yea, and still got the .01 for exfil

[ripe temple]

yeah its a scav, you can see his rep gain

[cedar badger]

Factory is day time

[bold kernel]

im just in disbelief

[frigid finch]

so at least that will be fun during this event lol

just walked out of lighthouse with two scars lol

so to raid on pmc...what do you absolutely have to bring with you right now...just augmentin and food?

you mean i only have to use it once?

do i have to use one every raid?

[mint light]

no

just when u get it

if u get it

[jagged laurel]

if you poisoned

[mint light]

its chanced based

[jagged laurel]

you pop a max

if your not

you pop a max as well

[frigid finch]

is max a stim?

[jagged laurel]

because max only dies to scavs

no

max is max

[frigid finch]

oh the energy

[jagged laurel]

max ^

[frigid finch]

so i should be using a max energy drink every raid?

[mint light]

thats my streamer item

[jagged laurel]

nooooo

dont

[frigid finch]

im so fucking confusedf

[jagged laurel]

im sorry

I was maxing fun of max

[frigid finch]

oh lol

then im an idiot

[jagged laurel]

all you need in raid is a augmentin

[frigid finch]

and food so i dont starve im guessing

[jagged laurel]

not really

unless your going for a long time

iskra

challenging you

😮

[mint light]

mre always give regen

i think mre counteracts it completely

[frigid finch]

lol mre is selling for 44k on the flea market right now

[jagged laurel]

siuuuu

[opaque garnet]

So what foods do i take into raid to actually get my energy up?

[frigid finch]

is shoreline night right now?

[mint light]

website will tell u

escapefromtarkov.com/halloween

[opaque garnet]

ive heard sugar doesn't either, gives a stamina buff instead

i know cond milk gives energy

[mint light]

pinapple juice heals

[frigid finch]

all it says is doomed and a number

ohhhh ok

[whole thistle]

Does it reset at 666k

Do we know what it's tracking yet

[frigid finch]

deaths would be the obvious anwer

answer*

number of russian war crimes committed maybe? lol

[whole thistle]

I don't think there's enough people playing for that to be it

It's hit 666k a few times

[frigid finch]

could include scav deaths as well?

ai scavs i mean

[whole thistle]

Still

[frigid finch]

so is energy recovery a consistent debuff?

[mint light]

yes

[frigid finch]

like i got blurred vision for 30 seconds, is that the only debuff im getting for this raid?

[mint light]

nah

food

always food

[frigid finch]

so energy recovery and starvation are every raid

the blurred vision was the random effect i got...and nothing else?

[mint light]

ur chillin

[mint light]

energy recovery means starving

[jagged laurel]

probably a pain status

[frigid finch]

cool....so it isnt as bad as i thought, its basically as long as you have augmentin and food you are fine

[mint light]

yes

exactly

the night time shit annoyin tho

[jagged laurel]

max

[mint light]

i dont wanna play at night

[frigid finch]

ahh yea

forgot about that

[mint light]

it goes night for 30 mins

at 666

[jagged laurel]

@mint light I still go it

[mint light]

what does this have to do with me

[jagged laurel]

😦

do you not luv me anymore

[frigid finch]

does anyone?

[jagged laurel]

my mommy 🙂

and my hedgie

[frigid finch]

doesnt count, she has to

[jagged laurel]

oh and

[frigid finch]

at least you have that, mine doesnt even love me lol

[jagged laurel]

tbf

mine doesnt

I just pay bills

so they cant kick me out because they wouldnt have income

[frigid finch]

jesus christ gtfo

[delicate turret]

finding food in this game is no fun

[jagged laurel]

interchange

you will get food

[delicate turret]

okay. interchange is the only map i have memorized so thats what im going to do.

[frigid finch]

its pretty easy when you know where to look...eventually you should have a pretty good stockpile so it shouldnt matter

[jagged laurel]

its the best map for food

[frigid finch]

ok, so the mre puts your energy drain to -.68 from like -6.68...so basically negates it for awhile

[delicate turret]

do they do group runs on this server?

[jagged laurel]

interchange = food faster

[mint light]

i never talk to u

[jagged laurel]

😦

max doesnt luv me

I am sad

[unreal horizon]

evidently

[jagged laurel]

[delicate turret]

wheres the food spawn

[jagged laurel]

D-2 do you wuv me

[mint light]

i only love my bed and my momma im sorry

[unreal horizon]

not particularly

[jagged laurel]

sadge

[delicate turret]

thats convenient......

[unreal horizon]

but i dont particularly hate u either

[jagged laurel]

ill take it

[delicate turret]

2nd or third floor

[unreal horizon]

[lusty crow]

[mint light]

just turn ur sharpness up in game

[frigid finch]

ok....so sample size of one...but i spawned into a raid wearing a pumpkin helmet and didnt get any negative effects

[mint light]

at all?

no energy drain?

[frigid finch]

still energy drain, just not the other negative effect

[mint light]

yeah thats possible

so u do have negetive effects... lol

[frigid finch]

i figured that would be permanent

got positive effects instead

[mint light]

u can also get positive effects

[frigid finch]

so just random lol

ill do a few more and see if i get any negative effects

[mint light]

no need to test

[lusty crow]

whats the use of the hand drill? i know you need one for the workbench i think it is. but i cant find any other uses for it

[mint light]

stash lvl 2

nothing else besides that

just sell

[lusty crow]

oh okay thats what i meant. ty then 😄

[fluid linden]

what the fuck is this game

how do i get rid of unknown toxin

[mint light]

augmentin or xtg stim

[lusty crow]

if you have just started, you have just started at a very bad time xD

[fluid linden]

so your telling me i have to use an augmentin everytime i go into raid cause of this shit event

[mint light]

u only get it sometimes

[fluid linden]

wow tarkov fun game

[mint light]

atleast bsg are alive

[unreal horizon]

seethe

[mint light]

thought they died in their office

[lusty crow]

also when it comes to hideout, whats the best way to get all the items? i just have 2 junk boxes and i hoard everything until i may need it.

[mint light]

i just sell everything and buy them as needed

[fluid linden]

chances?

[mint light]

randm

[lusty crow]

fair enough

[vapid flume]

I go to do my quest and theres 2 super geared dudes sittin in d2

[unreal horizon]

tarkovtracker (might be hyphenated) is a good site to track what items you should keep around based on your current quest and hideout progress

[vapid flume]

just want to get peace level 3

but YOUKNOW

2 dudes with altyns and m1a and blackjacks just chillin in the bunker

[unreal horizon]

could be 4 or 5 if i relax

[mint light]

its late wipe

people have gear

consume eod and get pk3 for free

epic dub

[vapid flume]

nah Id rather not pay 100 dollars for this game

[mint light]

then suffer and go hermetic door

[vapid flume]

I have a quest IN D2 from peacekeeper

[fluid linden]

😬

[mint light]

L

[fringe dawn]

[mint light]

[fringe dawn]

kk

[agile helm]

[outer ice]

is there a way to play raids during daytime? once halloween event started, i enter raid at 0730 and its pitch black, 1300 and pitch black, 0300 pitch black. all my raids are at night no matter the time. im lvl 12, trying to get quest done in woods, barely know the map with no flashlight and keep dying. just trying to run raids in the day again so i know where im at

[agile helm]

its random

[outer ice]

is there a way to turn it off and not participate in the event?

[agile helm]

nope

either you dont play or play the event

[outer ice]

thast annoying... thanks

[agile helm]

i mean, its an event

just dont play for a week if you dont like it

[fringe dawn]

use these postfx settings it makes it a bit better for me

[outer ice]

its my 3rd daying playing tarkov lol. kind of sucks after 3 days, i need to take a week off when im just learning the game because of a event. ill try out those settings.

[mint light]

dont

[fringe dawn]

why

[mint light]

100 brightness does nothing besides make flashlights brighter

[fringe dawn]

i mean its fine for me

[unreal horizon]

it vignettes hard too

[mint light]

sure lol

[unreal horizon]

just use gamma

[mint light]

mine are cool

[agile helm]

-100 clarity?

[unreal horizon]

painkillers

[mint light]

ye

clarity makes shadows darker

[outer ice]

you use that for just nightime or for daytime too

[mint light]

daytime

ill show it to u in game if u want

at night time postfx not rly gonna matter

[outer ice]

you got screenshot of how it looks in game?

[outer ice]

oh thats clear.

[frigid finch]

ok spawned into a second raid with pumpkin helmet on and had toxin...so it doesnt do shit lol

[agile helm]

wdym

[mint light]

he thought for some reason pumpkin head would remove effects

i told him no and he did it anyway

[agile helm]

pffft

[frigid finch]

its on the description that it protects you

[mint light]

its a joke...

its a helmet

thats the joke

[frigid finch]

you never know lol

can you only open the pumpkins after the raid

[agile helm]

yes

[frigid finch]

ty

[jolly vector]

fr all my kills have been 5 or lower

[jaunty fulcrum]

Can i hold a flashlight or is the pmc to stupid to use a flashlight

[agile helm]

has to be attached to the gun

[jaunty fulcrum]

Fuck customs

[agile helm]

why

[jaunty fulcrum]

I got the water room then started to dip

Some chad guns me down

Not even 4 mins into the raid

Took me all day to get to water room in dorms

[frigid finch]

i mean...thats kinda on you for trying to get there 4 minutes into raid....you are gambling...your best bet is to either be first there, or wait until 5-10 minutes left in raid

[jaunty fulcrum]

I was there first

Then a mf came along and tried to nade me 3 times

Then proceeded to black out every limb through the bushes

Smh

But somehow the “survive and extract “ part of the mission got fulfilled

I died but the therapist thinks I survived

What a relief ngl

[jaunty fulcrum]

I was there when the raid started, i essentially spawned 20 ft from dorms,

[frigid finch]

then you didnt get out fast enough lol, happens...dorms is a shit show at first

[jaunty fulcrum]

Bruh ong as soon as i got the task i dipped, my mistake probably was going twoards the car

[uncut locust]

hello all im super new to the game, this Halloween event keeps killing me due to spawning in with an effect the makes me lose 118 health.. is there somthing that can help me with this?

[jaunty fulcrum]

Unfortunately not

Toxic debuff is killing everyone

Some games you dont get it tho

[frigid finch]

most games you dont get it

if you are unlucky you do...so you need augmentin to survive

[uncut locust]

man i get it almost every freaking game xD

[jaunty fulcrum]

Lmao f

It’s frustrating

[uncut locust]

very, and im new like i said xD.. so its really annoying lol

[jaunty fulcrum]

Yea i get it, im only lvl 13, i was new about a month ago lmao

[uncut locust]

had the game for 4 days and am lvl3 xD

[jaunty fulcrum]

Nice

[uncut locust]

im garbage at the game lol

[jaunty fulcrum]

Tbh same here

Month of playing made me good at killing bot scavs, anything thats a player is a challenge lmao

[remote quartz]

Hey, I just bought the game yesterday for the first time. Anyone down to play? Maybe teach me the ropes or we both try it for the first time? either way im down

[frigid finch]

ok cool, so there is a health regen debuff that isnt poison so it cant be cured...love it lol

[rain bane]

oh so I see thats why my energy is decreasing every 3 seconds or so is cuz of this event

SOLID CONTENT

[bold kernel]

hope you find someone join #sherpa-info and go to #pvp-lfg there will be people who will help and raid with you trust

[sterile minnow]

So no penalty for killing scavs as a scav
Does this apply to bosses aswell or nah?

[sinful vault]

How do you Heal the toxic affect that i keep getting i've died 3 times now and its starting to piss me off

[sterile minnow]

Augmentin helps
The x12b? Something stim removes it

[sinful vault]

i cant get most of that stuff to fix it because i am only lvl12 and most of it is on flee

and either me or my buddy get it, its so dumb

[proper axle]

Which trader should I focus on building "spent" cash? I've only been selling random bits I don't need that I found in raid to prapor mainly. Or does it really not matter.

Im only selling attachments for now. Stuff like cigs, relays, dfuel and so on I'm keeping for now as I got no idea whats for quest or hideout. I got some valuables like vase, gold chains, oscope etc. Not sure if I should keep them or sell them since quests/hideout.

[jaunty fulcrum]

Tbh you can sell anything, you can get what you need in the flea market once you hit lvl 15

I sell oscope, its like 50k idk what its for tho lmao

[whole thistle]

You need 1 fir oscope

For thicc case

[edgy plover]

https://tarkov-market.com/ - This website is your friend. When checking the vase, for example, you can see it's not really worth holding onto as the quest for it is quite late and you make effectively no more money from the Flea as opposed to traders.

[proper axle]

Legend, thanks a lot for that. Appreciate.

[frigid finch]

whats the best ak-74u to use for the punisher quest?

[whole thistle]

I just used 74un because sights look better on it

[edgy plover]

UN and UB both have dovetail mount which is all I care about for that thing, doesn't matter much though

[frigid finch]

sweet cool, ty

[drifting jolt]

@frigid finch how are the raids going?

[frigid finch]

fine, only died once to the stupid shit cause i forgot to bring an mre in with me

[delicate turret]

ya well i dont have any mres at all and cant find food so fuck it im playing mw2. right now. litterally did 8 runs on inter and couldnt find food

[drifting jolt]

there's tons of food on the left side of goshan...

just scav

likterally like 50+ food spawns

[frigid finch]

is there any confirmation that the ai are better/more aggressive/know where you are during the night portion of this event

[modern patio]

is there a difference between factions?

[ripe temple]

what you start off with

some quests are exclusive

also as a USEC rogue ai on lighthouse will not kill you on sight unless you get too close or killed them in a recent raid

clothing options from ragman trader

[drifting jolt]

not sure, but if you pick up a pumpkin you become tagged n cursed

[drifting jolt]

english vs russian

voicelines

[frigid finch]

why did they remove the hydration/energy from all the juices?

[mint light]

it was funny

[frigid finch]

so starve us and take away our ability to deal with it?

[mint light]

juices didnt do much anyway

water works

everything besides like kvass and juices work

pineapple juice heals u

[frigid finch]

they were just nice to chug whenever you found them lol

[lost sky]

u can be poisoned off spawn from the event

aint no way bruh 💀 I spawned in dead

[frigid finch]

god damn water filters have skyrocketed in price it seems

[hollow minnow]

water collector

as people began to build it in hideout water filters actually have a use

so they usually jump in price mid-late wipe

[dire folio]

Yup, always keep an xtg or augmentin on hand lol

[oblique ruin]

Or ledx

[jaunty minnow]

anyone down to play a few runs i just installed it and wanna learn the game

[dire folio]

What lol

[dire folio]

#pvp-lfg just be careful there is an event going on rn so be warned about spooky things, and starvation

[stone tusk]

i found this on the map, is it 100% percent spawn?

[oblique ruin]

No

There are only a couple of 100% spawns and theyre all low value items

Like Unknown Key and Machinery key

[stone tusk]

thanks

also

what is factory gate(co-op)

[worthy imp]

what should i put my twitch rivals band on for

[stone tusk]

i found on the map which is all

[agile helm]

its a extract that you need to do with a scav and PMC together

[dire folio]

Yes

What cpl said

You also get rewards for taking those extracts

[stone tusk]

how

[oblique ruin]

Fence slides in ur dms

[stone tusk]

sounds impossible

[dire folio]

Ive done it

[stone tusk]

scav is AI

[dire folio]

No

Pscavs

[stone tusk]

how do i go with them

[dire folio]

Players

[stone tusk]

aa

but how to communicate with them

[dire folio]

Voip

[agile helm]

VOIP

[oblique ruin]

Ive done 2 legit coop extracts ive done all coop extracts atleast twice with a friend who queue sniped me

[stone tusk]

people could hear my voip nearby right?

[dire folio]

If you have it enabled default bind is k

[stone tusk]

lmao sounds so fun

i do think those scav would kill me

xD

[dire folio]

Ai scavs will

Pscavs also might

[oblique ruin]

I find lots of pscavs around sawmill later in raid

[dire folio]

I find most pscavs will cooperate depending on the time in raid

[stone tusk]

as a beginner which area in woods should i loot?

safer option

[dire folio]

Scav town or old saw mill probably

Sunken village

[oblique ruin]

Hit up stashes

[dire folio]

For stashes id play ic

[stone tusk]

thank you guys a lot

[stone tusk]

what is that mean

[dire folio]

There are hidden stashes that have a huge loot pool

[stone tusk]

where

[dire folio]

Look up a map on mapgenie to find them

Or a yt video

[oblique ruin]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/woods hide all except Location,Extraction and Caches

[stone tusk]

thanks

i am using it

still most of time i cant find myself in the map

[viral prawn]

How is everyone doing tonight?

[oblique ruin]

Click on the stashes and it shows u an image where the stash is

[viral prawn]

use roads as landmarks, particularly turnstyles,there aren't many forks ECT in road

[stone tusk]

i found something like nuke station

i will try

[oblique ruin]

What

[stone tusk]

playing offline mode

tried to remember the map

[oblique ruin]

The hell is a nuke station

[stone tusk]

power station?

idk

a huge pipe building

[dire folio]

Factory

[oblique ruin]

Only power stations ik is in interchange and shoreline

[stone tusk]

but where can i found screw nuts

[oblique ruin]

Tool boxes

Enable tool boxes on mapgenie too then

[viral prawn]

technical crates and toolboxes

[stone tusk]

is jacket useful?

[dire folio]

They mean the thing by factory gate and the ine extract i think

[stone tusk]

most of them i think its empty

[viral prawn]

all containers can have useful loot

[oblique ruin]

Ooh

[stone tusk]

which area is most dangerous?

i will avoid it

[viral prawn]

all of it

[stone tusk]

xD

[modern patio]

so how do I get rid of this random poison bullshit at the beginning of raids?

[viral prawn]

Factory is a COD map, it's not like the other tarkov maps

it takes 16 seconds to cross wall to wall and it has 6 people in it plus scavs

[stone tusk]

bring some med xD

[oblique ruin]

Augmentin

Or xtg stim

[stone tusk]

factory make me sick xD

too less loot

[modern patio]

I'm brand new though, I don't have that shit

[stone tusk]

cant get a gun even

[stone tusk]

then die

and go again

i died 2 times in a row

even as a scav

[dire folio]

Probably saw mill or usec camp

Med camp maybe

[stone tusk]

thank you alot

[agile helm]

sawmill

usec is meh

[worldly patrol]

Usec camp has mines so be careful when around it

[dire folio]

I always find pmcs at usec

[viral prawn]

you and me both

[dire folio]

Last time i found 3 killed 2 ran out of ammo

[worldly patrol]

You can find it using a landmark near it

[stone tusk]

the experience as Scav is totally useless right?

[viral prawn]

I have a video in my youtube channel in my profile about how to dodge the minefield at usec camp in woods if your interested

[dire folio]

Just stay right really

[viral prawn]

yeah, so long as your leaving TOWARDS the water your safe

if your leaving away from the camp through trees or down a dirt hill without water then your in troub

[meager shell]

what scav case option can get me a cat statue the easiest?

[bold kernel]

what is the best gun for a level 5?

[fervent ermine]

CUSTOMS

[oblique ruin]

I didnt include customs cuz its not really an actual power station

Just has a power switch

[fervent ermine]

not that one

the one near sniper rock

sniper hill

whatever you call it

[oblique ruin]

Woods?!

Vro wth

Are u talking abt the zb-13 power

[bold kernel]

anyone..

[fervent ermine]

no

holup lemme get the map

[stone tusk]

when i shoot something happen

what should i do about it

[bold kernel]

press L

[topaz forge]

examine

[bold kernel]

and tell me what it writes down right corner

[stone tusk]

i cant

i am died

xD

[bold kernel]

oh the f

lmao

[stone tusk]

damn this weapon

[oblique ruin]

They made scav guns jam more often now

[stone tusk]

if any thing like this happen what should i do

drop it?

[oblique ruin]

L and then hit Shift + T next time u get a malfunction

[bold kernel]

yea

man aks jam all the time

[stone tusk]

fk

[bold kernel]

ive never emptied a whole mag without it malfunctioning

[stone tusk]

first time encounter this

[oblique ruin]

L inspects the malfunction and then Shift + T fixes it

[stone tusk]

after that malfunctioning

my game is malfunctioning as well

[oblique ruin]

How slow is ur dookie internet bro

Still loading up the map?

[stone tusk]

xD

[dire folio]

The tower

[lost sky]

is it just me or some servers just way easier

[pastel current]

Then you're using low durability guns. They barely jam unless it's a scav gun

[stone tusk]

help

i am lost

[static turret]

dont use weapons that are below 90 durability

[stone tusk]

i accidently spawn at dark mode

[kindred aurora]

thats the event

[stone tusk]

anyone could tell where is this

i am sending ss

its in woods

and there is a long wall

[agile helm]

you're at old station

[stone tusk]

thanks

[meager shell]

which scav case option can get you a Cat statue the easiest

[agile helm]

why?

[stone tusk]

what should i do

unknown toxin

[leaden mirage]

you need an antidote to cure poison

which is Augmentin or xTG-12 injector

[stone tusk]

gg

i hate this event

[worthy imp]

does the weight of a gun make it sway more or something this svds is all over the place even when im holding breath and full stam

[leaden mirage]

the weight of the gun only determines how fast your arm stam will drain

[worthy imp]

dont know why this svds shakes so damn much then

[mystic crypt]

bad Ergo

[worthy imp]

so thats why people always have high ergo on sniper builds

[leaden mirage]

Ergo only affects speed of ADS, volume of when you are ADSing, and rate that stamina drains your arm stam

doesn't affect weapon sway

[mystic crypt]

Ergo also effects weapon sway and stability

[modern patio]

Is woods bugged? All the other maps load fine but woods never goes past matching phase

[worthy imp]

the matching bug happens occasionally on any map but ive never seen it happen multiple times in a row

[modern patio]

been trying off and on to load woods for like 3 hours

[worthy imp]

have you reset the launcher as well as the game?

a lot of bugs i get repetitively i have to task manager the launcher as well as the game

[arctic loom]

You can either use an xTG-12 injector (drops on cultists/cultist leader/bosses overall i think) (~130k on FM) ooooor you can go straight to extract and then heal it on the Therapist screen (for 40k iirc, not sure about that as i use xTGs)

[agile helm]

Or Augmentin

[arctic loom]

It 100% clears the Unknown Toxin effect?

[agile helm]

yep

[arctic loom]

Permanently and not temporarily, yes?

[agile helm]

perm

[merry swift]

It might also be a case of where you put your scope

The higher the scope is above your barrel the more it'll sway

But the SVDS also has horrible ergo, especially when silenced.

[oblique ruin]

U mean further

I dont think theres any sway u get from having a scope higher on ur gun

[merry swift]

No, both. Elevation also increases sway

[oblique ruin]

Just that u have it where ur barrel ends

[merry swift]

Compare it yourself

Its why people prefer low scope mounts

[zinc canopy]

Nah I just prefer them cause they look better don’t ever notice a difference in sway really

[oblique ruin]

Same

Nightforce meta

[fervent ermine]

real

nightforce best

geissele is acceptable

lobaev is dogshit

[modern patio]

can anyone give advice? This fucking event is making my food drain so fast I can't make progress

[stoic vine]

Bring one or two slickers bars in. That's what I did all day and was fine

[modern patio]

I'm brand new, don't have those nor do I have the means to buy them

[stoic vine]

Ah, shit. Tbh I'm not sure then. I forgot not everyone can buy slickers.

[modern patio]

Know where I can find food fast and reliably? I can barely make it 5 mins in a raid before I'm dying from hunger

[stoic vine]

Uhhh, it depends on the map.

[modern patio]

I don't care which, any is fine

just need food

[placid tree]

for customs I'd suggest going to the fortress but that already is a high trafficked area and even more so with the event lmfao

[merry swift]

Interchange in the goshan area, northern corner.
Woods in the emercon camp near RUAF exfil.

Both have a ton of food and are close to extracts

Bring a big rig for interchange and hop the fence for the backpack extract or just backpack it and use powerstation car exfil

[modern patio]

woods would be cool but it won't load

[wise sand]

So what Tier 1 trader guns can I buy that WONT jam

[warm sundial]

adar

[wise sand]

Jam as in the shitty ass luck that all scav weapons have

[agile helm]

Buy UMP

[warm sundial]

adar sks ump

[wise sand]

SKS jams

[warm sundial]

and the jaeger guns if youre into that

[warm sundial]

?

[agile helm]

a brand new SKS?

[wise sand]

I've died to a jammed sks before

[warm sundial]

Was it brand new?

[agile helm]

all guns jam

[wise sand]

Pretty sure it was

[wise sand]

I mean the update

event

[warm sundial]

Pretty sure is not very assuring

[agile helm]

ive yet to have one jam

[wise sand]

I've died about 10 times to a jammed weapon. every gun I've taken, even a modded M4 that I got off a PMC has jammed

I feel like all shotguns are boltaction

[warm sundial]

its the event

[wise sand]

only exception I found so far is the MP5K

[warm sundial]

halloween event gave us all bad luck bro

[wise sand]

only applies to scav weapons

[warm sundial]

hmm

then skill issue iguess

[wise sand]

true

[merry swift]

You what now

How does woods not load?

[wise sand]

stuck on level 14 for the past day because I can't get any tasks done with this event

[static carbon]

should i remove SKS iron sight?

[agile helm]

why

[static carbon]

they say its easier to shoot

[agile helm]

nah

the capping

[static carbon]

not even on the ak?

[robust robin]

Its personal preference depending on if you want one irons or the other

[vast plume]

why is the rb-bk worth so much currently when last wipe it wasnt worth too much?

loot buff or?

[robust robin]

Probably just marked key barter

[vast plume]

ill use it down to one then i suppose

[merry swift]

If you use it it loses FIR status so you wont be able to flea it anymore

Unless you wanna barter yourself

[vast plume]

im probably just going to use it for the barter

[robust robin]

Good luck getting pkpm

[near cedar]

How long do these storms last?

It got dark all of a sudden and now I can’t see the scavs in the forest LMAO

[humble otter]

I felt like it lasted for like an hour yesterday... imo

[near cedar]

Oh will it not end before the time is up on the map?

[humble otter]

nope

not from my experience

[near cedar]

Oh shoot I better figure myself out then lmao

[humble otter]

we did like 2-3 raids before it ended

remember to check your energy! 😛

[marble steeple]

I'm gonna have a psychological breakdown if y'all don't tell me how to avoid lagging as soon as I fuckin meet a player or scav, as soon the fight starts or we get close the game lags and the fps drop and it results in a freeze that mostly makes me die without even understanding how

[olive halo]

simply skill issue 🤓

naah bruh

what is your graphics settings

if you have everything on low, you might wanna put it on medium

you might be bottle necking your gpu and shit

[marble steeple]

I got a 2060 rtx I'm running on medium graphics

[olive halo]

hmm

cpu?

[marble steeple]

Driver updated and all

CPU I got no idea lemme check

I thibk it's the ram cause in game it says 98% used

[olive halo]

how much u got

[marble steeple]

Fuckin 16 gb lol

[olive halo]

💀

any other apps that are eating your ram

[agile helm]

mip streaming on or off?

[marble steeple]

CPU is a amd ryzen 5 3.60 GHz

[olive halo]

💀

i know tarkov has alot of problems with amd

i saw few vids

[fickle plume]

which of these guns in my stash would be better to sell than to keep (i'm level 13)

[marble steeple]

💀💀

Damnit so I'm doomed

It's weird

Sometimes it works very well no lag at all, Sometimes I just have 10 fps and connections issues

[olive halo]

welcome to tarkov 👍

[marble steeple]

But the ratio is 10/90 so I hope I do solve it lol

[olive halo]

you might want to check out some guides for amd

[marble steeple]

Escape from lag

I also updated its drivers lol

[marble steeple]

Off

[olive halo]

ash, and the big sniper rifle

[agile helm]

nah, the sniper is good

[fickle plume]

to sell yeah?

[agile helm]

keep sniper

[olive halo]

yeaaa well like

oh shit its an sv

[olive halo]

KEEP THE SNIPER

[fickle plume]

okok

i like the ash tho

[olive halo]

i thought its the new lapau sniper

[fickle plume]

[olive halo]

well yeah

depends

do you have good ammo for it?

[agile helm]

cant get good ammo tho

[olive halo]

yeaaah

thats what im sayin

[fickle plume]

ps12b

[olive halo]

how much

[fickle plume]

only like 50

[olive halo]

well urm

i'd use it till you still have the ammo

then i would sell it

[bold kernel]

ps12b ammo is expensive

[olive halo]

ps12a and ps12 is shit

[bold kernel]

3k on da flea

[fickle plume]

for how much

[bold kernel]

3k a bullet

[fickle plume]

come again?

for one

bullet

[bold kernel]

yes

[sinful rivet]

wtf is this event

[calm vale]

Take a gornostay, buy AP-M rounds when u unlock flea

Enjoy

[fickle plume]

what magazines can my m700 take?

[olive halo]

do you still have the 10 rounders

[fickle plume]

which ones?

only 10 rounders i have are ak ribbed i think

[olive halo]

this one?

[topaz prawn]

where can i get bolts and screw nuts?

[fickle plume]

i dont think so

[olive halo]

find em 🤓

[olive halo]

well the use these

if you have them i mean 💀

[fickle plume]

i cant buy them 💀

sadge

no m700 till flea

[olive halo]

suree......

[olive halo]

👍

good deal

[fickle plume]

but from who

[olive halo]

random guy 💀

[fickle plume]

oh on the flea

[olive halo]

you'll have to wait till mechanic lvl 2 if you want them for a reasonable price

[fickle plume]

i havent even done gunsmith 1 for that guy

[olive halo]

💀

[fickle plume]

idk how the fuck you give an extended mag to a shotgun with no mag

[olive halo]

do you have jaeger?

[fickle plume]

yeh

[olive halo]

buy this shotgun

it already has the extended mag

[merry swift]

Mate the mags make literally no difference

Use the standard mags they're fine

That tiny bit of ergo on the M700 is whatever

[olive halo]

he doesnt have any mags at all i think

or she

idk

[merry swift]

There will be a mag in the gun and you can just load bullets straight into it

[olive halo]

well yeah

but mag is still a mag

much more effective

[meager shell]

Ragman quest

[agile helm]

run stashes

[merry swift]

Surely you wanna run safes if you need a cat statue

[agile helm]

nope, stashes, they spawn somewhat often, i got two running woods stashes

[mint light]

go to safes lol

[merry swift]

I feel like the spawn chances in safes is way higher

Even with there being fewer safes on a map

Should net you a cat quicker

[mint light]

less of a loot pool in safes

[merry swift]

If you have keys customs dorms is really dense for safes

And if you don't shoreline has a bunch of safes that require no keys

[static carbon]

should i get 32gb ram?

[agile helm]

yes

[static carbon]

specs:
1660 super
i7-10700k

[bold kernel]

yes

[static carbon]

okay

[uncut depot]

I have all info on this event if anybody wants it dm me

[flat tiger]

wow i died because i started the raid toxic wtf

how can you heal being toxic?

this Halloween stuff is poop

like wtf the game is hard enough for beginners

[bleak oak]

Augmentin?

[flat tiger]

where can a llvl 1 trader get it and how much? do you know

[bleak oak]

therapist level 4 sells it

lol

otherwise you can find em all over the place

[flat tiger]

lol so i cant even play the game without a chance of dying love it wtf

[bleak oak]

ya, events are usually unfair

you could run a scav, find augmentin, then run a pmc and bring it in raid

[flat tiger]

i die in like 3 mins and i used heals too. so im never going to find one

[bleak oak]

ya, poison is no joke

or do you mean as a scav?

[flat tiger]

how long is this event going to last?

[bleak oak]

probably till right after halloween

[flat tiger]

wtf

wow

[agile helm]

?

[bleak oak]

so 3-4 more days I would assume

[flat tiger]

this is dog shit

[agile helm]

welcome to the event'

[bleak oak]

welcome to Tarkov 😄

[flat tiger]

well only scav runs

what happens if i kill to many scavs as a scav

[bleak oak]

you can still do pmcs - just run whatever you get and find as a scav

[flat tiger]

? because im going to take all my anger out on them

[bleak oak]

Killing AI scavs currently doesn't penalize you

player scavs I believe yes, however

might be a glitch, not sure

[flat tiger]

nice

im soooo mad rn

[bleak oak]

hehe

[flat tiger]

i lost sooooo much good gear. and i have been doing very well. to get killed like that is bs

[bleak oak]

ya, it is bs

I agree

[flat tiger]

i have been playing this game for a week.

[bleak oak]

I hear you

bad timing to suffer with the event

[flat tiger]

im not familiar with the maps and where stuff spaws

[bleak oak]

happy to help you out though, I can show you maps and the best stash route

loot spawns, etc.

[flat tiger]

stats are pritty good

[bleak oak]

ya for a beginner that's great

[flat tiger]

i have over 1 mil. in rubs too

and just bought a scav junk box lol

[bleak oak]

cool;

good progress

[flat tiger]

filled it up lol

[hybrid frigate]

anyone able to assist in doing the jaegar mission

[bleak oak]

which one

[flat tiger]

not bad for playing this game for a week

[hybrid frigate]

intro

[bleak oak]

yep, keep it up

[bleak oak]

ah, so for mechanic to unlock yaeger

[hybrid frigate]

ya sorry... clearly new

[bleak oak]

sure thing, happy to help, I can run one

[hybrid frigate]

oh that be awesome!

[bleak oak]

let's go in beginners 10

[flat tiger]

i would help you i did that one already. but we might die from posion lol

[hybrid frigate]

sounds good!

[flat tiger]

better bring augment lol

[sturdy torrent]

Will there be Santa Claus activities at Christmas this year

[dawn geyser]

Potentially, probably

[sturdy torrent]

Thats good

[woeful spruce]

oh no... i just got intense flashbacks to the last time he was around

[dawn geyser]

LOL.

Tank my rep

[woeful spruce]

my scav rep took a long time to recover and i was really trying not to kill him

[fervent ermine]

imagine needing rep

[whole thistle]

I hope wipe is before Christmas so I actually get to see Santa

[dawn geyser]

lol

[whole thistle]

I should think of a new name for next wipe

lmao

I'm so fucking sad that we can't use the word ball or balls in our name

I tried "FreddyFazballs" and "BallCrusher82"

[chrome nova]

try ba11

[whole thistle]

Its just not the same

[topaz forge]

bsg name bans are hella weird

[whole thistle]

I've seen horrendously racist names but I can't be ballcrusher 😭

[topaz forge]

i was bussycrusher a few wipes ago

[whole thistle]

One of my friends literally had a slur in his name once just because he was testing if he could 💀

[topaz forge]

thats crazy

[whole thistle]

But ball is too far

[topaz forge]

i seen someone named 338fixeslgbt

i should open the game to go report it

[whole thistle]

Average Russian player

[chrome nova]

average russian have nickname like PECTOPAH or smth like that )

PACTEHUE

[pliant hound]

anyone know how to fix shitty ass wifi. I have literally shut off everythinng except my pc and still only get 60kbps

#community-support

[pliant hound]

k

[viral linden]

Im trying to do Gunsmith part 1, i have everything i need but no matter what i do it wont let me turn it in

[lusty crow]

check durability?

[viral linden]

wait it has to be high dur?

[lusty crow]

i think it has to be between 80-100 if i remember correctly

[mild cedar]

80+ I think

[viral linden]

fuck

[lusty crow]

yeah so you cant use a scav shotgun

[mild cedar]

What gun is gunsmith part 1? its a 133 right? Just buy it from Jaeger

[median inlet]

just buy a shotgun from one of the traders and replace the main part

[lusty crow]

when does the event decide when its perma night or not?

ik its something to do with the counter

[median inlet]

i think its everytime it hits the 666k

[lusty crow]

yea do we know how long it lasts?

[acoustic ermine]

i think its about an hour

probably better off going to reddit for an answer

[sleek pollen]

pretty sure its less than an hour

probably close to 30 mins more or less

but i could be wrong

[acoustic ermine]

30 min does seem reasonable

[lusty crow]

just sick to death of being shot out of nowhere bc i cant see in the dark and cant afford nvg bc i cant make money

i struggle enough in the day xD

[acoustic ermine]

i still havent found out if cultist can spawn

[sleek pollen]

they can

for sure

me and some buds were farming them on factory yesterday

[acoustic ermine]

try doing stash runs my man

[acoustic ermine]

during the 666666 event>

i mean
