beginners-assistance

[celest sage]

Me neither

[mint light]

run past a door and then into the door in like a slick motion and just slam the guy on the other side

[tender cairn]

all i do is change the position somebody will think my head is in everytime i peek

[mint light]

never stop running so u become f1 car

[tender cairn]

only seen glorious do it

but it seems hard to master

[mint light]

only way to left hand peek

and jump peek is good on left hand

[celest sage]

But really just mess around with it since it’s not that important

[tender cairn]

i was imagining it on a left hand

[mint light]

https://streamable.com/bfyqm2

[open hedge]

The real way handle a left peek is to just run past the guy turn around and shoot him

This only works on like

Very bad players

But fr fr just use grenades

Very good at moving people

[tender cairn]

gunshots going through the wall beside them and hitting the wall behind them might move them

only gonna do that if they know where i am though

[open hedge]

Are you aware that bullets do not go through solid walls

Like at all

Only the smallest walls can be shot through

All you’re doing is wasting ammo

[tender cairn]

it’ll scare em

[neon fulcrum]

i saw somebody getting a kill trough a fucking metal container wall, high end meta bullets can penetrate quite some shit ig

[open hedge]

That’s a thin wall

Anything less than an inch thick can generally be shot through

But that’s basically only shipping crates

[open hedge]

That’s a metal grate

Or wait

You have a 60 pen ammo

That can go through a little sometimes

[clear flume]

still a fat bit of concrete

[open hedge]

Wall penetration is super inconsistent

[clear flume]

tarkov pen is inconsistent af

(dont trust it)

[open hedge]

If you have less than 70 pen

You will likely never shoot through anything thicker than a finger nail

There’s a slight chance for like m61

That’s about it

[clear flume]

(i had 993)

[open hedge]

Ah so 70 pen

That will occasionally work

[tawdry siren]

any newbies want some stuff

its not insane gear but its a bit of money n whatnot i wanna reset my account :P just hmu

i got like 1mil roubles n shit

[dapper galleon]

Can’t give away money

[tawdry siren]

? cant i take in a wallet and drop in raid

[dapper galleon]

No

[tawdry siren]

oh F

[versed meteor]

i have trouble prefiring because whenever i hear someone moving to me it always sounds closer than it is, any way to fix that?

[open hedge]

Learn

[mint light]

audio bad gotta just get used to it

[open hedge]

Eventually you get the hang of it

I’ve gotten great with the audio but I know it’s absolute garbage

You’ll eventually learn it

[tawdry siren]

lies i can take in 400k

but no more than 400k per raid

[open hedge]

Can’t drop it

Only can drop like 20k a raid

[leaden knoll]

Learn how the audio works in this game and use a preferred pair of ingame headphones that work. I use M32s personally.

[open hedge]

M32 and comtac 4 is all I use

And I’m very good at hearing

[molten surge]

If you ever need help lmk

[open hedge]

It’s hard to teach audio

You have to figure it out yourself

Someone else cannot hear for you

[cedar bay]

does this have any effect on me?

[vapid kettle]

no exp and the loot you find will not be found in raid

[cedar bay]

alright, nothing worse?

[vapid kettle]

no

[cedar bay]

spawned in close to an extract, next to 2 dead pmcs so found some pretty nice loot

[vapid kettle]

yeah you usually kill a scav or wait 10 min to extract so that u dont get a run through

[open hedge]

7 minutes

Or 200 xp

[cedar bay]

is it not possible to put something from my stash into inventory of scav? I cant fit everything otherwise :L

[dawn geyser]

Open the sorting inventory on the bottom left of your stash

Drag the MBSS into the sorting inventory

Put the blue backpack in the MBSS

You may not equip items onto the scav, as that is considered discarding it

[cedar bay]

thats some big brain move right there xD thanks!

[dawn geyser]

No problem~

[open hedge]

They should like

Unlock scav inventory

[dawn geyser]

No.. way.

Is that

The Reeses?

Holy

He made it back

[open hedge]

I was lawfully unbanned by the big man shiro

He said that I am a massive leap of faith

[dawn geyser]

lol

[open hedge]

So I am here to not break any rules

I am now a law abiding citizen

[dawn geyser]

I believe

[open hedge]

Thank you

I really don’t want to be banned again

I do like it here

[woeful spruce]

omg reeses is back i didnt think i'd see the day

les go 🤝

[wooden void]

what do i even use these for

just sell them to therapist?

[clear flume]

they let you enter labs

[rocky ocean]

2x found in raid are needed for a jaeger task, either way you can use them to go to laps like Lamb wrote or sell them

[whole thistle]

They sell for actually nothing ngl

[wooden void]

60k

[wooden void]

the heck is that

[open hedge]

^^^

[open hedge]

A map

Have you not looked at the map options

[hybrid quail]

Wait is Kwon dog gang

[open hedge]

I have millions of cat gifs but nowhere to Post them

[cedar bay]

if an ai scav runs up on me am I really supposed to wait and see if its an ai or not before shooting as a scav?

my fence reputation is tanking hard cuz I always end up shooting ai scavs

[open hedge]

Don’t shoot any scav

Ever

As a scav

[cedar bay]

well yea I know im not supposed to

[dawn geyser]

Yeet

[cedar bay]

but how the hell am i supposed to tell the difference in 0.1 seconds

[mint light]

haiiii :3

[open hedge]

They move different act different

[hybrid quail]

Bless

[cedar bay]

I just got killed by what I thought was an angry ai scav and turned out it was an AI, and I killed an AI scav that sneaked up on me that I thought was a pmc

[hybrid quail]

[open hedge]

Generally don’t shoot unless shot

At all

Your gun is reactionary

[cedar bay]

well should I wait and see at 1m distance inside a building?

[open hedge]

Yes it’s a scav raid

If you die so what

[cedar bay]

if I die I gotta wait 30mins to scav again :L and as a low level, scavenging is what brings me most stuff to loose as a pmc

[open hedge]

It only takes 30 minutes because you keep shooting people

[cedar bay]

wdym

[open hedge]

What is your fence reputation

[cedar bay]

-0.9

[open hedge]

That’s why

Normally at 0 it takes 20

Shoot scavs and bad things happen

[cedar bay]

I have never had under 30mins

maybe its over 0? idk

[open hedge]

You want that number to be high

Which only happens by not shooting scavs unless you have 10000% guarantee they are a traitor

[cedar bay]

Yesterday I lost 2 military batteries to pscavs (when i was a scav) that sell for 400k which is like twice my whole stash worth, so idk if its worth it at this point

[open hedge]

Higher the number your scav gets better gear shorter cooldowns and cheaper car extract

[open hedge]

It’s worth getting it up

Trust

My scav spawns with 100k in his bag every raid

Then I can loot for more

Only 8m cooldown

[frozen niche]

What's the punishment per scav kill as a scav? .01 per kill? Doesn't seem like enough

[cedar bay]

damn alright

is it still worth it in this wipe? isnt next wipe in a couple weeks?

[open hedge]

It’s a domino effect if you kill one you have to kill all the others on the way to extract

It is

But still

Scav rep has many applications

[cedar bay]

alright I'll try, I heard there was a task fence gives you that gives 1 rep if I get my rep down to -1

is it worth doing that?

[open hedge]

Yes

For scale my rep is 7.19 rn

[cedar bay]

damn

[open hedge]

Fence rep gets better every full number you go up

At 6.0 you get the biggest Increase

Like huge boost

[whole thistle]

Its not 0.01 it's 0.1

[frozen niche]

Rank 2 fence, right?

[open hedge]

Indeed

6.0 basically guarantees decent armor with a gun that shoots 30-40 pen ammo

And at least 50k in your bag

Like 80% chance for headset too

[mint light]

sir

i recall you saying

[open hedge]

That was after like 5 raids

[mint light]

“this shit sucks and is not worth it i get an ak everytime”

[open hedge]

Calm down

[cedar bay]

if im a scav there are still hostile scavs right? Can i kill those or no?

[whole thistle]

There are no hostile scavs

Only raiders and bosses

You can kill raiders but not bosses

[open hedge]

You can kill raiders and rogues ai scavs will only shoot you if you’re the bad guy

Player scavs can be hostile but never shoot first

[cedar bay]

so i can shoot everything that shoots at me basically

[frozen niche]

The only way to know they're hostile to you is if they shoot at you as a scav

[whole thistle]

Expect bosses

[open hedge]

Except bosses and ai scavs

[cedar bay]

how do I know if its a boss?

[whole thistle]

They look unique

[open hedge]

Better gear too

Raiders and rogues always wear white

[cedar bay]

in what way? so far everyone I ran into feels unique since im so new

[open hedge]

Time will fix that

[whole thistle]

!wiki bosses

[broken quail]

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

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Bosses

Bosses are powerful enemies with unique gear, traits and behavior in Escape from Tarkov.

[frozen niche]

Just shoot everything that moves as pmc and everything that shoots you as scav

[whole thistle]

Look at them

[open hedge]

Also never shoot someone as a scav unless they hit you

You will lose rep unless they actually damage you

[whole thistle]

The pictures on the boss wiki page are so fucking goofy

I love them

[whole thistle]

Also they spawn in specific places surrounded by geared scavs with special clothes

[inner mountain]

wtf is wrong with sanitars eyebrows

[wary vector]

Oh lord I joined a randoms squad, I feel bad things are coming my way

[open hedge]

Never do that

[sleek pollen]

kill them as you load in lol

or try to run away

[open hedge]

That was 20 minutes ago

Whatever was going to happen

Has already a happened

[cedar bay]

do headsets enhance the audio or what do they actually do?

[mint light]

make the audio overall louder and deafen/amplify certain things

[open hedge]

Make shit louder

Make bad stuff less loud

[mint light]

what is changes depends on headset

[cedar bay]

oh ok, thanks

[open hedge]

Any headset is usable

All personal preference

Except tactical sports

[mint light]

gotta vendor them cuz their ugly

[open hedge]

But always have some kind of headset if you want your ears to work

[fringe cobalt]

Hi

[jagged laurel]

Hello sire

[zinc canopy]

Hi

[sick apex]

can someone help me with the quest "Shortage" from therapist, i need to find 2 salewa medkits in raid and hand them over, im EU

[woeful spruce]

i might be aable to in a couple mins

[sick apex]

alr

@woeful spruce just call me when u are able

[dawn geyser]

Hi.

[open salmon]

kwon

[woeful spruce]

you there? ive called 2 times

[sick apex]

oh sry i didnt get the notif

[rocky ocean]

which map you guys gonna go?

[brittle canyon]

terminal

[cedar bay]

can i somehow sell things thats in my stash inside another container? like a backpack or rig

[dapper galleon]

No

You gotta take them out if you’re selling to a trader

Wait

Might be able to if you open the bag with right clicking it then clicking open

Haven’t tried in a while

[cedar bay]

no they are all greyed out

which is rly annoying

[dapper galleon]

Just move em outta the bag

[dawn geyser]

Do you have space in the stash?

Like free room

[cedar bay]

my stash is so full after an insane raid so I can only take out like 4 things at a time

[dapper galleon]

You can sell things on flee if they’re in containers though

[dawn geyser]

^

[cedar bay]

it's doable for sure it's just very inconvenient

[dapper galleon]

Send ss of stash

[dawn geyser]

If you have some freespace in your stash, and want to mass move stuff from a backpack, to stash to sell to trader

[dapper galleon]

Might be something you could change for more room

[dawn geyser]

You can shift+click, while having the sorting inventory

Then hit escape when your'e done to transfer from Sorting inventory to stash

[cedar bay]

well I already sold a backpack so I have like 3x6 space now which is fine, but was just annoying to sell in the beginning, have had the issue a couple times so thought I'd ask

[dapper galleon]

Might still be something you could change

If ya want to that is

[cedar bay]

definitely as it's an insane mess right now after that raid XD

[dapper galleon]

You been taking mags and pistol grips off guns?

[cedar bay]

but it's fine, I'll manage it

[cedar bay]

no

[dapper galleon]

Do so

Makes them a 1 row

[cedar bay]

oooh

damn thanks, I thought I was saving space having the mags in haha

[dapper galleon]

Just the mag and pistol grip have to come off

[cedar bay]

ah nvm I do save space having the mag in on most guns I have

these are the only guns I have rn

so no point taking mag off since its still 2 rows

[dapper galleon]

Take the stock off the vss

The 2 aks you have to take the grip off

[cedar bay]

this doesnt help though

[dapper galleon]

It does

[cedar bay]

it goes from 5x2 to 4x2 + 1x2

[dapper galleon]

Mag and stock have to come off the vss

Take the mag and stock off

[cedar bay]

oh mag as well, ye now I saved 3 spots

thanks

can I really not use this gun without the front sight?

oh it doubles as a gas block

[dawn geyser]

Yes

Mk12 low profile gas block

Peacekeeper/Mechanic LL2

[clear flume]

the the other ugly looking one

[dawn geyser]

Can replace that if you want the front sight away

[clear flume]

that is mech 1 now aint it?

[cedar bay]

yea im not that high level but thanks anyways

[cedar bay]

no I checked, cant buy it

[clear flume]

the windham armoury

mech 1

[dawn geyser]

Not applicable with all handguards, but might be able to work?

MK12 is the universal all handguard one

[clear flume]

better than the FSP

[dawn geyser]

As long as it's compat, yes

[cedar bay]

yea thanks, got it

[clear flume]

its not universal but for trader LL1 i dont think they have many handguards

[dawn geyser]

True

[nocturne sedge]

just got the game yesterday, could use some help in raids

[wary vector]

I'm new and bored, can I help ya?

[fossil pilot]

can someone tell me how to scav without getting fucking murdered by other scav players

[austere hound]

Don't expect peace. Spam F1. Use voip

[open hedge]

Don’t get shot

[cedar bay]

how far away is groaning from pain audible?

[fossil pilot]

he fucking killed me because i had good loot on me i was at rogue camp he did the laugh emote before killing me

[open hedge]

That’s to be expected

Don’t get near people

Don’t show your loot

Armor stays in your bag

Same with high tier guns

Don’t put them on

[fossil pilot]

how mr smarty pants i cant equip a bag without it being revealed

[fossil pilot]

i was showing only my akm

[open hedge]

Your bag is not mounted to your armor

Generally lighthouse scavs cannot be trusted whatsoever

Other maps people are actually cool

[fossil pilot]

what does that fucking mean the bag is big as fuck and its taking up more than my back

[unreal horizon]

drop it

and fight

[fossil pilot]

i tried factory and reserve i died to a scav in both

[open hedge]

Well as someone with 300 scav raids I feel I can tell you that reserve is like the safest scav map

[fossil pilot]

and what loot can i get there? literally none they all are looted

[open hedge]

I get like 300-700k a scav raid there

[cedar bay]

reserve has a ton of loot

[fossil pilot]

Your definetly lying

[open hedge]

No I’m not

[unreal horizon]

he aint

[cedar bay]

he has flea market unlocked

[unreal horizon]

only time you leave with less then 300k is if your scav has no bag

[fossil pilot]

i also do flea market is no help without intel in hideout

[nocturne sedge]

can i get some help in raids, got the game yesterday

[cedar bay]

well I don't have flea market and I can get like 200k per scav on reserve if im lucky with backpack size

[fossil pilot]

Its because yall are aliens

[open salmon]

Yeah reserve scav is safe and you make 500k per raid

[fossil pilot]

thats if you dont spawn with 12 minutes

[open salmon]

No you can do it with 12 minute

[open hedge]

I regularly get 25 minutes or more on reserve

[fossil pilot]

its because you are lucky

[unreal horizon]

stop coping and learn loot spawns

[open hedge]

I can assure you I am no luckier than the average man

[unreal horizon]

wont get better whining

[fossil pilot]

How with no mapgenie?

[unreal horizon]

so many other tools

[open salmon]

Yeah u sound like u whinig

[fossil pilot]

whinig 💀

[open hedge]

I learned reserve with like no maps

[open salmon]

@fossil pilot just loot school and the 3 storyy building that has a lot filing cabinets

[open hedge]

Just memorize 3 extracts

Or jus like

Google a map

[open salmon]

I only scav reserve scav

[open hedge]

Mapgenie is not the only map ever

[cedar bay]

I always have a map on my 2nd monitor open

[fossil pilot]

i tried and couldnt find any if you can find a good one send me the link

[cedar bay]

I can highly recommend it

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/images/3/38/Re3mrReserveCardinalNorthWikiVer.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20220127204615

[cedar bay]

its literally on the wiki

[open salmon]

Just learn exctracts and then dont use the nap ever

[cedar bay]

open that as original and it opens in fullscreen

[fossil pilot]

that doesnt show loot spawn

[open salmon]

💀

[cedar bay]

well where u think the loot is gonna be? up a tree

I literally just googled reserve loot map and found one instantly

[open hedge]

If you use maps for loot you’re looting wrong

[open salmon]

@fossil pilot just cope and play for 600 hours amd you will get hang of the game

[cedar bay]

found this after 5sec on google

[fossil pilot]

thank you

[open salmon]

@fossil pilot

Loot these

[fossil pilot]

Thanks bro

[open salmon]

The house in the left has a lot of filing cabinets

[whole thistle]

That map is very odd

[wary vector]

I learned these maps in like an hour of constant playing

[open salmon]

Quickest route

[open salmon]

I agree

[open hedge]

Buildings are not real

[whole thistle]

Wiki map

[open hedge]

Looks like it was made on ms paint

[unreal horizon]

lmao pre d2 map

[wary vector]

They're definitely accurate though

[cedar bay]

yea def good enough

[rocky ocean]

Do I need anything from Birdeye for a future task? like reshalas golden tt for example?

Don't think so

[open hedge]

Stray dogs is just kills not items

[cedar bay]

?

[rocky ocean]

thanks 👍

[open salmon]

@fossil pilot

[whole thistle]

That version of the map is very based

[open salmon]

These marked in blue have decent loot

[whole thistle]

If you loot the helicopter you will die

[nimble scaffold]

okay i bought the game today i am super new trying to get a squad that can help me with some tips and tricks

[open salmon]

No you dont

I go there ecerytime as a scav

[whole thistle]

As a scav

[open salmon]

Yeah im telling him where to scav

[whole thistle]

I see

[open salmon]

Hes new and doesnt fond loot

[wicked sky]

How rare is it to find a twitch armband in a daffel bag @.@ ? cuz i found one

[nimble scaffold]

and get use to the game i heard they will have a huge wipe soon do you know when

[whole thistle]

I can send you a supa cracked guide if you want

[open hedge]

Very

[lunar ibex]

who tryna play reserve

[cedar bay]

I dont think hes new if he has flea market

[dire folio]

Quite rare

[whole thistle]

Next few weeks

[nimble scaffold]

plaase

[open salmon]

He said that we are laying that we can make 500k as a scav on reserve

Seems like he is new

[cedar bay]

well im new lvl 5, got game last week and I manage to get like 100-200k even without flea market

[whole thistle]

https://youtu.be/1JTUQJOjDxI

[nimble scaffold]

thx mate

[whole thistle]

Covers all the basics

[open hedge]

Beginners aren’t actually real

[cedar bay]

is this good?

[open hedge]

Meh

Sometimes

[unreal horizon]

its fine

[open hedge]

It’s got 2 weapon boxes and 2 valuables spawns

Guess it’s kinda ok for labs loot buff

Also why is the entire weapon testing area just a tiny room with no room to shoot shit

[open salmon]

I dont think hes gonna go labs

[cedar bay]

why not?

[open hedge]

Keycard

[cedar bay]

I'm guessing I need that as well?

[open hedge]

Go try and load into labs

[cedar bay]

oh labs is a map

i thought it was a certain location on another map

[open hedge]

Nope

[open salmon]

It will be soon

[cedar bay]

im guessing streets of tarkov and suburbs also need some sort of item to get into?

[open salmon]

I dont think so

[open hedge]

Not really it’s still it’s own map just with a few required travel locations

[open hedge]

Eventually all maps will

But that’s not any time soon

[cedar bay]

how do you play if you are new then :D

[open hedge]

You start on 1 map

Slowly unlock the rest

[cedar bay]

I mean that sounds kinda fun, as long as high levels dont abuse the low levels on that first map

[open hedge]

You already know that will happen

[open salmon]

High levels will always abuse the timmys

Timmys deserve abuse

[cedar bay]

yea of course.. been there am there rn xD

[cedar bay]

aw man

[open salmon]

Hopless little creatures

[cedar bay]

I just had my first really amazing raid earlier today, got 10 scav kills and 2 pmc kills and extracted alive with (for me) insane loot, does that rank me up from timmy? xD

[open salmon]

No

[cedar bay]

:(

[humble cave]

You are calling the fear causing entities of Tarkov "goofy"? damn son

Nikita will come after you

[humble cave]

@whole thistle I mean, thats his face

[whole thistle]

He's so close

[open salmon]

You will get there 1 day

[cedar bay]

I'm rewatching a clip from a raid, I stood in the same place for like 4 seconds then leaned right, right as I lean u hear a bullet whizz by xD

[humble cave]

Hes dead in that pic.

[cedar bay]

is this a normal thing in tarkov? scavs just endlessly pushing you? there was a pile of 7 scavs in total

[agile helm]

you're probable tagged and cursed, or they heard you so they came

[cedar bay]

what does tagged and cursed mean?

[agile helm]

means all the scavs want you, and then come after you

[cedar bay]

may be, there were even sniper scavs rly far trying to get me

[unreal horizon]

whats not normal is staying put for that long

[cedar bay]

well I didnt dare move cuz I was surrounded

I was in the tower marked green

and the red arrows are where scavs came from

to get down from the tower I had to go outside, meaning I was in the clear for anyone wanting to shoot me

[agile helm]

why?

[cedar bay]

they kept coming so quickly

[mint light]

they are super funny

they are all like .5

[whole thistle]

💀

[cedar bay]

does this mean its going up 1 per minute?

or what is the unit its going up by?

[unreal horizon]

per min

[wary vector]

Damn a scav killed a fellow scav and I didn't even do anything

[tender cairn]

u could’ve gotten free re

rep

[wary vector]

Rep?

Is that bad?

[tender cairn]

no

scav rep

if u killed the guy who killed the scav u could’ve gotten better rep

[wary vector]

No the scav killed me

[tender cairn]

ohh

[wary vector]

I was the fellow scav

[tender cairn]

he lost rep then

[cedar bay]

Is there no solo que in tarkov? like if im solo can others still be squads?

[tender cairn]

yeah

[unreal horizon]

yes

[raven nacelle]

anybody willing to run with me and teach me the ropes? im new to tarkov and just want some assistance

[tender cairn]

#sherpa-info if u need it

[cedar bay]

damn, I just killed a lvl 40 and 41 and then I got killed by a third, guessing they were all together then

[wary vector]

Same sucka

[ruby adder]

Rule one.. There's always one more

[tender cairn]

^^

[cedar bay]

yea go figure haha

now i know

[ruby adder]

Up to 5, then expect a third party because noise

[cedar bay]

but oh my god their loot was amazing

[cedar bay]

haha, great

[ruby adder]

Example, encountered an unexpected 5 man from different angles

[cedar bay]

I've been running solo since day 1, just started to get a bit more confident and now I guess im scared again if I can meet up to 5 people against me in one fight, damn

[unreal horizon]

its more fun

solo v solo pvp is the most boring shit ever

[ruby adder]

It's incredibly fun going against an outnumbered group

[cedar bay]

yea when you are actually good haha

im lvl 6 and going against 3 lvl 40 was enough for me haha

[ruby adder]

But expect up to 5 in one fight, doesn't mean you're always going to see 5

But expect 5. Don't rush in for PMC loot

[unreal horizon]

dont be intimitated by lvl it doesnt mean shit

[ruby adder]

Don't be scared to rotate & watch a body

[cedar bay]

it does though, means they have way more experience than me

[wary vector]

I've been practicing for the past few days in factory

[cedar bay]

sure they can still be bad, but most of the time they have better knowledge of the map, aim, etc

[ruby adder]

Experience gets people a slight edge over newbies.. But, in the world of Tarkov a level 1 can take anyone out just as fast as a level 9 million

[open hedge]

Higher level generally means more intelligence not more skill

[unreal horizon]

a lot of lvl 40 and 50s are dumb as hell

[ruby adder]

^ Can confirm

I'm pretty tactically stupid

[open hedge]

That seems unique to this wipe

I’ve seen the lowest skill majority ever this wipe

[jagged laurel]

experience almost always save you if your good

[unreal horizon]

experience =/= being good tho

[jagged laurel]

all da rats be trying to be chads

[jagged laurel]

experience = game sense / being good = aim

/movement

[open hedge]

Seriously

Every good player I know has quit the game

Even I myself recognize this wipe has been awful

[unreal horizon]

yeah

[open hedge]

But I still enjoy the game enough to play

[jagged laurel]

im just praying that arena is good

[open hedge]

Same

[jagged laurel]

and that streets brings back old reserve pvp up top vibes

snipers in the towers close range pvp

just epicness

[lost frost]

whats a good ammo i can get easily thats pretty good for the MP9

[open hedge]

Chest or legs

[zinc canopy]

Quake maker and aim for legs

Ap is too expensive

[open hedge]

I’ve used a little pbp which is quite funny

[zinc canopy]

Pst only good for headeyes

Where on woods is a good area to loot gear. Been having luck with food but don't know where to look for everything else

[clear flume]

usec camp

[ruby mulch]

dam, that means imma have to learn where those mines are

[open hedge]

They are only on west side

Easy to avoid

Takes 2 seconds to learn

[whole thistle]

Just take the path in from the road

[ruby mulch]

I see now, after lookin at the map closer I see where to avoid. ty

i am high class of tarkov

just use specter on 50 fov

[jagged laurel]

g36 is gross

[wispy stratus]

[mint light]

long barrel dvl is loud but it takes laser and sounds cool

[jagged laurel]

g28 is saxy

[mint light]

if g28 wasnt ass it would be way cooler

[wispy stratus]

g28 is soo expensive

[whole thistle]

Stare at hot zones from very far away

im off to play. good to see ya max

good chat boys

[forest skiff]

Should I even bother leveling or doing quest if I'm level 11?

I feel like I'll worry about leveling the next 2 weeks and then wipe will happen

[whole thistle]

Why not

Nothing to do rn really

[unreal horizon]

as opposed to what? game doesn't even really start till lvl 15

[open hedge]

the game doesnt start till 32 for me

[forest skiff]

just try and get as much pvp xp as possible

[unreal horizon]

sure i guess but no point before you have decent gear available

[proper crag]

hello?

[whole thistle]

yass?

[proper crag]

where cant i find help for a task in eft?

[graceful mantle]

For dorms ex do I need ruobles

[proper crag]

someone want to help a quest stuck dude??

[rocky ocean]

I am stuck with regulated materials 🥲 cant find a military battery

[leaden wigeon]

hey, what does the green flare do? I think it makes scavs friendly but does it work?

[proper crag]

Do someone know about bunker part 1 if yes i need help

[unreal horizon]

exit through d2

thats all

[proper crag]

?

[open hedge]

time for labs

[golden badger]

can someone help me with ice cream cones task.

[polar salmon]

how rare is this i got it in a raid

[open hedge]

its kinda somewhat rare

not expensive

pretty decent in a pinch tho

[unreal horizon]

1 slot pineapple juice

not awful

[open hedge]

i really like it when me dad is banana

[agile helm]

which one, green or poison green

[fallow schooner]

anyone play only as scav? how to do some hideout upgrade that requires eg. endurance lv.2? That's PMC's endurace right?

[tender cairn]

yes

[open hedge]

playing scav only basically removes 80% of the game

[dire rock]

no point in exclusively playing scav

[south violet]

was tempted doing it this wipe but they removed xp through fence quests so i didn't end up doing it

purely out of interest how high i could get

[bold kernel]

im in love with this game, just went from 1k money no guns to 200k and a full stash of guns in 1 day

[south violet]

that's awesome, but don't get to attached to the loot ^^

[bold kernel]

i dont! thats how i got to 1k money

i didnt use my good loot

and lost all my money

now i use the best loot for the situation

abt to go for the pocket watch rn

[south violet]

best of luck ^^

[bold kernel]

thank you!

i really like how dying feels like u lost something , im so tired of the call of duty going for high kills in this game u gottta play it smart

[storm bolt]

dmz

[south violet]

not gonna lie, the risk factor is probably one of the several reasons this game feels so rewarding when you succeed. imagine dying in tarkov and just instantly having everything again you had before you died in the raid

game would be dead within a week

[bold kernel]

i got destroyed ;-; a 4 man rushed me in dorms when i was going for the key

[south violet]

rip

[bold kernel]

nope i need to get it from dorms sadly and i would do that but most people camp dorms at that point

[south violet]

you are doing the pocket watch right? not golden swag

[bold kernel]

the pocket watch im new to the game so im still learning

im debating if i wanna attempt it again or go to woods and unlock jaeger

[lost frost]

blossoms i got a tip for u to win more gunfights like the 4man that got u

[south violet]

then Sean is correct, you can go there as Scav, get the key and extract. after that put the key in your pouch as pmc and go for the truck

[lost frost]

when you shoot aim at them and if your low ammo hide, reload, and keep shooting them. theyll be dead sooner than you’ll be

[open hedge]

L

[lost frost]

resses puffs

[open hedge]

I had a funny labs raid where I won a 1v3 with a blacked arm head and stomach

Today

[bold kernel]

this would have worked but i had a 10 bullet sks and they all full sprinted at me

[lost frost]

4 headshots with ps wouldve probs worked

[bold kernel]

yeahh

im just thinking how bad i must be doing, im level 7 and only did one task which was the 5 scavs and 2 shotguns

[south violet]

pretty sure no one was ever good at this game when they first started

[open hedge]

The hardest game stages are sub level 50 and mid 30s

You’re not alone in your struggle

Mid 40s is also terrible

But still

Early levels is really bad

[unreal horizon]

mid 40s and sub 50 being different of course

[bold kernel]

i been playing for 4 days tho ;-;

[open hedge]

When I started it took me weeks to hit level 15

[south violet]

been playing this entire wipe and i still consider myself bad lol

(lvl 42)

[open hedge]

Although do consider that I play hard boiled (no gameplay guides only maps)

[dusk bloom]

hard boiled 😂

[open hedge]

Don’t be like me watch guides and go the easy route

Only videos I watch are task guides (I haven’t watched these in a while since I’ve got it all memorized)

But playing hard boiled sucks

But I like it

I recommend watching streamers

Even tho I myself don’t

[south violet]

i basically only watch gigabeef YouTube and that's it. helped a decent amount. i find watching streamers pretty boring ngl

[bold kernel]

im in dorms as a scav but i forgot where the room is

is it the room with one jacket in it on the wall

[open hedge]

Orange jacket

First door on right from 2nd floor fire escape entrance

[bold kernel]

GOT IT

[south violet]

nice

[open hedge]

I’m gonna head off now boys good luck

[south violet]

good night

[bold kernel]

this is all i got:D left with only 30 seconds left

[south violet]

keep the shotgun

you will need some parts of it for a different quest

same for the other key and the ring mount

keep the knife too for a good barter

^ also that

[south violet]

i have one question though, did you kill scavs as Scav?

[bold kernel]

just one am i not supposed to?

[south violet]

they are your allies

[bold kernel]

i always assumed im supposed to

for loot

[south violet]

you will get bad rep if you kill scavs as scav

bad rep cause a bunch of negative effects

[bold kernel]

i didnt know ;-;

[south violet]

worse gear as Scav, higher Scav cool down, car extract costs more with low Scav rep ( costs less with high scav rep) and scav case time in hideout gets less with high rep, not sure if it takes longer with bad rep though

[fringe cobalt]

HI

[bold kernel]

is the key one time use

[south violet]

39/40 ^^

[bold kernel]

yeah i died lol, i got the watch but i got lost looking for my extraction then someone sniped me while i was stuck in the floor

[somber portal]

on the flip side, if you scav rarely, tend to not use car extracts, and don't have a mostly finished hideout; kill scavs freely

[tardy crescent]

Its really not that big of a deal to gun down other scavs

Take a few car extracts as a PMC and its pretty much negated

[open hedge]

6.0 rep is fairly useful however

I snipe very high tier ammo for like 200 roubles or less often

Also your scav is very very good at 6.0

M61 is like 300 roubles

[unique portal]

I just got killed by an invincible rogue on a mounted gun at lighthouse??

I mean I shot him in the head and then moved out of cover and he instantly killed me

[south violet]

ricocheet, or your gun didnt do enough dmg

the instant killing part is rather common

[unique portal]

But I shot him about 5 times with an sr-25 using m80 from the bridge

[tardy crescent]

If you got 5 hit count my bet would be you hit his limbs or stomach

SR25 isn't horrible at range but its not quite optimal so bullet drop is reasonable

[unique portal]

Very frustrating bug!

[tepid arrow]

Loot isn’t everything silly

[bold kernel]

when i have only a knife it isss

[tepid arrow]

You don’t spawn in with only a knife goober

As a scav I mean

[bold kernel]

goofidious

[dire folio]

So silly

Gotta loot the boxes for loot

[bold kernel]

i meant like because i only use scavs when i have no guns left so i would kill a scav to bring 1-3 weapons instead of just one

[tepid arrow]

Do you have cash?

[marble spindle]

def

[bold kernel]

i had 1k at the time

i only have like 60k now

[tepid arrow]

You need help with some money runs lol

[bold kernel]

im doing fine right noww

[tepid arrow]

Ight

[bold kernel]

i have a decent inventory of stuff

[fallen cargo]

its beter not to kil scaves as a scave cus you lower your scave rep and if your scave rep lowers you get wors and wors scaves and you can make more monny playing as a scave then 3 guns

[high crescent]

we need tha guns

[fallen cargo]

a scave gun wort around 15/40k and wil jam on you like 5/10 when in a fight so its not wort it

take your scave to anny map pick up 5 items sel them and buy a new gun

[high crescent]

i get shot 😦

[fallen cargo]

cus of your scave rep

whats your fence rep

i never shoot my gun unles i now for a fackt that the guy im looking at is a pmc

[high crescent]

-1 cos im bad (in both senses)

[fallen cargo]

oke to make that go up do car exstrations on al the map 2/3 times or see if fence got a mision for you

when you back at 0/ or +0 scave wont shoot you anny more

[high crescent]

bold of u to assume i can extract without dying :^) but ya im just gonna wait till the wipes up ill just force myself to not die which has been fun so far

[fallen cargo]

whats your survavial status

[high crescent]

im in raid right now but last i chekced it was like 19 lmao

[fallen cargo]

dam harsh

what lvl are you

if your below lvl 10/15 i woud reset my ackount

[high crescent]

im level 6 lmao wouldnt resetting be worse

[bold kernel]

so idk what to do my inventory is full lol

[high crescent]

its not like ill do better with the stuff i had

[rocky ocean]

@bold kernel sell everything that you can buy from traders

[bold kernel]

okayy

i just didnt expect to kill 4 lvl 50 players
