beginners-assistance

[open hedge]

Pretty much anything

Tbh

You rarely get shot as a scav

So you can just loot whatever

[weak moss]

whats a good map?

[bold kernel]

woods is fine

[open hedge]

I do reserve

[weak moss]

idk any good loot spots lol

[open hedge]

Neither did I

Scavs are a great way to learn

Just walk to places that look important

[weak moss]

ok thanks

[open hedge]

Also bring up a map from the wiki

So you can extract and all that

[weak moss]

yea i do that

im just starting to get into things again and i dont remember a thing lol

[open hedge]

This game is fried into my brain

I wouldn’t forget a detail if the cia brainwashed me

[weak moss]

i only got 200 hrs of pt...got to like level 20 last wipe

[open hedge]

I’m not saying you should know

I’m just saying I’m obsessed

[weak moss]

lol

this games fun just hard solo

so i play here and there

[open hedge]

I’ve stopped playing solo

Teams are much more fun

[void zealot]

just pick a map and stick to it, until you figure out where the nice loot spawns and where the hidden stashes are, mapgenie can be a good help for that

[blissful epoch]

Solos is harder it does require a different playstyle but it can be a whole lot more rewarding if you wipe a team

[dire rock]

yeah until youre trying to waddle out of a raid with 70Kg of shit on your back lol

looking like a nice slow fat snacc to every Pscav

[jagged laurel]

Mules

Always have two

[dire rock]

typically i would but am poor and dont want to use a gamma slot for one

[faint cairn]

I'm not new just returning I need to chit chat to get caught up anyone wanna help?

[blissful epoch]

Mule stim.... jk I know what you mean you waddle the whole way there just to get shot 20ft from extract

[dire rock]

sure man what you need?

[dire rock]

i know i know, not always available though

[blissful epoch]

Yep

[tranquil talon]

how do i find tarkov tournaments

[whole thistle]

i dont think those are done very often

people do offline pvp a lot but not tournaments

[blissful epoch]

Once arenas drops expect alot of them

[bold kernel]

just wondering if anyone can give me tips on my pmc setup + what items here are worth trade, keeping, using, etc

almost forgot this in the storage packs

[open hedge]

m4 without meta attachments is very very bad

for super low level id advise class 3 or more (class 2 is very bad and not worth the money)

and generally shotguns or 762 guns are the best choice

big thing is you should always have a headset too

the mp5 isnt a terrible gun generally but this late in wipe 20rd mags will not help you

[bold kernel]

is 5.56 not great at low levels in general?

[waxen ferry]

can anyone help me kill sanitar 5times? :/

[open hedge]

very much not

[open hedge]

dont bother with that quest no rewards

[bold kernel]

should i save it or just sell for now

[open hedge]

they wont be helpful till youre like level 38

[waxen ferry]

i am bothering senator reeses.. i get 1.3k euro weapon case and grenade case..

[open hedge]

or higher

[open hedge]

oh this is a weekly not that other quest

well you wont find him 5 times i assure you

[unreal horizon]

yes ill kill all the guards and get him down to 1hp for you

[blissful epoch]

In general I would sell but at this point wipe is so close I don't think it matters thar much

[waxen ferry]

yeah acctualy 2.6k euro my bad

[waxen ferry]

i have 3days left on the quest why do u think i wont find him..

[open hedge]

i have mained shoreline for 3 wipes

i maybe see sanitar every 50 raids

[waxen ferry]

oh

so i should forget of the chances of getting a weapon case

[open hedge]

you can try

[unreal horizon]

i mean just buy one

[open hedge]

but dont expect it to happen

[unreal horizon]

faster to buy then to find sani 5 times

[open hedge]

yeah you can farm all that money faster too

[waxen ferry]

I have no teammate almost no money barely guns i dont know any strats on shoreline

[unreal horizon]

teammates r a burden

[open hedge]

then you have 0 chance of doing that

[waxen ferry]

My pc dont work that good so i can farm shoreline lighthouse

Or even raiders

[bold kernel]

ok
one more thing lol: what do you keep from wipes? i understands everything in the stash is lost, but do things like character experience lik healing/looting, or remembering items stay? does the hideout also change

[unreal horizon]

its as if you just bought the game

only thing that stays is your hours in stats

[waxen ferry]

I tried to farm raiders on labs it s 4 45 am for me i killed them for 2 raids but third raid got 2 players in the lobby and died since i had rip ammo and mp5

I cant even buy labs cards or stuff

[unreal horizon]

9mm rip labs based af

[blissful epoch]

The only thing that stays is your playtime nothing is kept

[bold kernel]

gotcha

[whole thistle]

food and water arent necessary

leave it in the stash

also maybe a better medkit in your container

and a heavy bleed med

[edgy panther]

[bold kernel]

ur inventory is organized wanna see mine djfsfa

[gaunt sail]

any tips on defending my self with starter gear against actually geared players? all ive been doing is dying and dying and dying... been trying to find another player to make my experience better but no luck. got the game a couple hrs ago and b4 playing online raids id been doing offline raids to try to learn the map, but jkinda been getting no where

almost ahd a good scav run with a bunch of gun attachemnts but was struggling to exctract from the point...

[unreal horizon]

go about your tasks quietly don't pick fights unless its a free 1 tap

if its a fair fight you'll lose

[bold kernel]

i personally used the mosin, its a good one tap to the head if u can aim

[gaunt sail]

n how do i extract? i was at a scav extract point as it said on map genie n was sitting there n nothing was happening, it was always aopen and not one time use. isnt there supposed to be a countdown or does ur screen just go black or something?

[unreal horizon]

did you have the exit?

just because its always open doesn't mean its always open for you

[gaunt sail]

ohh how do i check after the list goes away after spawn

[unreal horizon]

double tap o

[gaunt sail]

omg it worked thx so much

[bold kernel]

hey can scav help on the salewa quest?

[unreal horizon]

yeah just need to find them

[bold kernel]

im so lost on lighthouse and i dont have a mp

[unreal horizon]

you cant be serious

why go without amap lol

[bold kernel]

[drifting shale]

any dudes willing to help me out by partying with me naked? EU

[bold kernel]

oh welp i went mia already haha

[tiny bough]

do you have to extract when doing operation aquarius part one?

[drifting jolt]

yup

[bold kernel]

warehouse 2 so like the left side of the map you’re facing directly left too

[whole thistle]

irl

[tiny bough]

ive jus left the prapors woods quest alone

[drifting jolt]

oh dear god... they've forgotten how to Google things... are you ok? you need us to send help?!

[tiny bough]

i cant locate where tf i am

and run into mines and sniper scavs

[drifting jolt]

which map?

[tiny bough]

woods

the locating camp thing'

[drifting jolt]

well there are signs indicating most of the mines, and there's a tiny tiny bit right near the USEC camp, behind the rock formation

[bold kernel]

anytime i asked for map anywhere else they said map genie lol

[tiny bough]

most of the time i just cant even find out where i am

all trees

[drifting jolt]

well unfortunately we cant teach you to read a map.. find points of interest

[tiny bough]

so im just doing skier and therapist tasks

cuz thats all in customs

[tiny bough]

yea hahaha

[drifting jolt]

the mountain in the center is usually a good indicator

[tiny bough]

could you possibly help me do that quest?

[drifting jolt]

the mountain in the far distance is the very top of the map

[drifting shale]

[drifting jolt]

which quest?

[tiny bough]

search mission

prapor^

and introduction (mechanic)

anything that has woods i cant do

so maybe if i can screenshare to you

and help me navigate

[drifting shale]

woods are an easy map, you just need a few runs in

[drifting jolt]

@tiny bough had you tried running an offline raid to familiarize yourself with the map better?

if I just have you follow me you dont really learn much...

[tiny bough]

less time consuming tho ;-;

[drifting jolt]

what are you gonna do on the next woods quest?

[tiny bough]

prolly leave it ahah

or jus learn map later

[drifting jolt]

im not trying to be an a hole, just most of us dont like playing follow the leader

[tiny bough]

fair enough

[drifting jolt]

ill give you some tips... if you find a wooden cabin/house youre in the bottom left of the map

if you see a huge lake, youre on the bottom center of the map

mountain in the middle... bunch of lakes is the top middle

@tiny bough you can turn scavs on and then at least youre getting some gunplay and familiarizing yourself with where they spawn

[drifting shale]

anyone willing to help?

[drifting jolt]

because come next wipe, quite a few of your early quests are on woods

in addition to customs

[drifting jolt]

you dont exactly word that in a way that sounds inviting

[drifting shale]

im just asking for homies

[drifting jolt]

to do....?

[bold kernel]

im new to the games but ik some stuff

[tiny bough]

yea ig

but im jus seeing if you or someone else could hop in a call wit me and i just screenshar

[drifting jolt]

i just dont wanna turn the game on lolz, i just wanna answer questions

[tiny bough]

so you dont neccessarily have to turn on the game or load in wit me

[drifting shale]

just party with me naked, and allow me to kill em for a quest

[drifting jolt]

@tiny bough try #pvp-lfg and see if anyone is going to woods?

[unreal horizon]

doesn't work

[drifting shale]

what

[bold kernel]

woods is ptsd

[drifting jolt]

you cant kill people youre partied with for quest kills

[drifting shale]

oh god

well thats cleared

[bold kernel]

any one wanna team?

[drifting shale]

region?

[bold kernel]

northwest

[drifting jolt]

@drifting shale @bold kernel @tiny bough you 3 should go to woods together.. good learning experience

[tiny bough]

im jus gnna nose dive it

[bold kernel]

im down

[drifting shale]

oh dont you worry about me, im familiar with woods

[drifting jolt]

this is the way

[tiny bough]

im in oce so

[drifting jolt]

then show our youngin @tiny bough the way

[drifting shale]

matter of fact you just reminded me i got a quest to do there

[tiny bough]

which

[drifting shale]

killing 5 scavs with a bolt action with iron sight

[tiny bough]

ahh

[drifting shale]

whats your quest

[bold kernel]

how new are yall

[tiny bough]

search mission

[drifting jolt]

welp, considering his needs introduction done, pretty damn new lol

[tiny bough]

and the one to unlock jaeger

[drifting shale]

prapor

[tiny bough]

lvl 11

jus never did woods quests

[drifting shale]

im 30

[tiny bough]

even tho i shoulda don it a while ago

[drifting jolt]

woods really isnt that threatening... it's just down by the lumber yard where things get shifty...

[tiny bough]

btw what server u on

[drifting shale]

EU

[tiny bough]

ahh

im in oceania

mayb find a server in between?

if u wanna team

[drifting jolt]

shit, youre literallyon the otherside of the world from me

so teaming wouldnt really be an option

[drifting shale]

uh

is that even possible?

[tiny bough]

im pre sure u can switch servers on launcher

[drifting shale]

i can but what i meant is find a server in between

[tiny bough]

asia server or na w

[unreal horizon]

not sure if it changed with server updates but used to get kicked ~200 ping

[tiny bough]

i would have 180-220

[drifting shale]

oof 200 ping is a nono

[unreal horizon]

its an advantage tbh

hold w they cant hit you

[drifting shale]

[unreal horizon]

i wish i was joking

[drifting shale]

well i havent tried it so i cant tell

[drifting jolt]

185 is ping limit

[drifting shale]

lemme check OCE ping

364 ping

[drifting jolt]

that's a bit high...

[drifting shale]

a bit? bruh

i'd be phasing

[unreal horizon]

thats the best part

[tiny bough]

@drifting jolt

may i have 30 seconds of ur time

just when i spawn in

tell me where i am

[drifting shale]

@tiny bough your best bet is finding a sherpa willing to help

[tiny bough]

and ill take care of it from there

[drifting jolt]

call me

[unreal horizon]

post a screenshot here

[whole thistle]

thats any map

[drifting shale]

jaegar quest, pretty sure t says wood

[whole thistle]

i did it on customs this wipe cyuh

[storm flame]

hello guys

i just started the game

second day

all i have is two shotguns left that i got from the last scav

is this normal or am i just bad

[blissful epoch]

Its normal for first wipe
its also very late in the wipe so eveyone is geared to the max

[whole thistle]

thats kinda bad but you can make it back ez

if youre solo thats pretty normal

yeah late wipe too

[blissful epoch]

Very late

[storm flame]

this game is actually fucking intense, im just gonna wait for the next scav

pmc is impossible solo

[blissful epoch]

i wouldnt say impossible i run solo but at this stage if you are starting out yes it would be almost impossible

[whole thistle]

just cause youre new

[storm flame]

hahahah

shit

i only play factory

[whole thistle]

factory is a pure pvp map

you will not gain anything there

[storm flame]

ya

i'm left with two shotguns

from the last scav

[whole thistle]

maybe this is a sign to play another map

[storm flame]

which map do you start on usually?

[blissful epoch]

customs

[storm flame]

got it

[blissful epoch]

thats just where all the starting quest are also it i nice mix of long mid and close range fights

[stiff fractal]

Woods

[storm flame]

i only have two shotguns left, can i restart my account, i can't fight mid

hahahah

(⊙﹏⊙)

[blissful epoch]

did you start as Bear or usec?

[storm flame]

usec i think

a youtube video said usec is better

[stiff fractal]

I always advise against account reset

[blissful epoch]

^

[whole thistle]

shotguns work at mid range

[blissful epoch]

i mean wipe is within 2 weeks or so anyway

so if you lose everything it doesn't matter

[storm flame]

oh ok

[stiff fractal]

Yeah just use the time to learn

[blissful epoch]

^

[storm flame]

any of you wanna scav together

[stiff fractal]

Dont worry about money either. It will be reset soon.

[blissful epoch]

^

[stiff fractal]

^

[storm flame]

(⊙﹏⊙)

[blissful epoch]

i only scav interchange and im currently just chilling rn sorry @storm flame

[stiff fractal]

When it wipes youll be as broke as everyone else and the only thing you take with you is what you learn before wipe. Learn a map. Do the beginner tasks. Then youll be able to keep up with the pack when it wipes

[signal terrace]

when is the next wipe

[stiff fractal]

[signal terrace]

and do I get the same stuff as when I started the game

[stiff fractal]

Yes

[jagged laurel]

yes

[storm flame]

bruh

[jagged laurel]

WIPE HYPE

[storm flame]

im broker than after wipe

[jagged laurel]

WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE

[signal terrace]

thx

[blissful epoch]

within 2 weeks or so

[storm flame]

lol

[signal terrace]

thx

[storm flame]

my networth will increase after wipe

nice

[blissful epoch]

Its usually between the 20th and 27th

[stiff fractal]

Wipe is expected to be this month. Nothing is confirmed though. They usually dont tell us til the pre wipe events start

[storm flame]

let me find use of my last two shotguns

[unreal horizon]

prewipe gonna be bussin

only time people w key

[blissful epoch]

the past 3 years have been before xmas

[signal terrace]

would yall say this server is a good way to find other people to play with?

[unreal horizon]

as opposed to?

[storm flame]

you wanna play together?

[stiff fractal]

Im hoping for wipe like the 26th lol. I want all my irl plans out of the way

[blissful epoch]

idk i solo or play with firends but i would assume

[storm flame]

dude i just started and i can't even find the exit on factory

[whole thistle]

use a map

[signal terrace]

I just ask cuz I want to try to find people to play with but i didnt know if it was toxic here or hard to join groups

[signal terrace]

google a map and learn the orientation of the map

[whole thistle]

dont use google images for a map just use the wiki

[blissful epoch]

i feel like it would either be before xmas or after new years not in between the holidays

[whole thistle]

google images are out of date af

[storm flame]

oh

[stiff fractal]

The tarkov community is overall quite good. Better than most fps communities for sure

[storm flame]

shit

thats y

[unreal horizon]

the beginner chats are good, most people are morons

ppl here are rad

[blissful epoch]

Cant trust players in game tho

[whole thistle]

i start christmas break on the 24th lmao

[signal terrace]

noice, now to find someone to help me learn woods so i can get that quest done lol

[stiff fractal]

Beginner chats are cool. And if you find a clan its cool. Dont join randoms in game. And sherpahub is a good server for getting help

[storm flame]

can i join? i haven't done em quests too

[mint light]

hi

[unreal horizon]

hello maximus

[signal terrace]

sure, im in LFG woods 8

[storm flame]

im like the factory begger

[grave granite]

yo my scav just spawned with the quest shotgun i need xD

[storm flame]

i just go in and beg people not to kill me

[blissful epoch]

That will almost never work

[grave granite]

lmfao xD im going into factory rn

[signal terrace]

love that best meal of all time

at every time

[grave granite]

straight to extract i go

[whole thistle]

this is not the game for that lol

[storm flame]

how do i add you?

[signal terrace]

join the VC im in and well talk about it

[drifting shale]

huh

i'll give it a try

[grave granite]

nvm i grabbed a helix from a crate before i left xD

[whole thistle]

check the quest it says "any location"

[drifting shale]

since you've done it any recommended gun?

[high crescent]

i am bad it’s taken me 5 days to get to six if i don’t get 15 by wipe i’ll probably just an hero

[blissful epoch]

honestly mosin is best bet

[whole thistle]

i use vpo

[blissful epoch]

^

[drifting shale]

vpo or mosin..

[blissful epoch]

vpo=cheaper not as good without the right ammo
Mosin= more expensive good allround

[drifting shale]

mosin it is

im pretty sure i got some hardcore mosin bullets stacked

[high crescent]

i’ve only killed things with mosin everything else i can’t kill with

[blissful epoch]

A long time ago mosin would 1 tap chest most people

[tender cairn]

why can't i killed people with kitted out guns but i kill people with shit guns

[blissful epoch]

Tarkov

Also Ammo type

[wary vector]

Anyone able to help a poor newbie out, I only have 39 roubles to my name

[agile helm]

scav woods, over and over

[wary vector]

Everyone Says woods but Where in the woods

[cerulean pier]

How many raids do I need for like lv 30

[edgy plover]

Use your scav. I love scavving reserve, but the map is up to you. Watch a loot run guide for whatever map you’re looking to learn, or simply learn Caches on any map for an excellent, reliable way to make money as a scav or PMC

[agile helm]

everywhere, FOB/USEC/Prapors/Scav bunker/conex/sunken village/scav village

[edgy plover]

Totally depends how you play. Level 30 is about 1 mil exp, so if you average about 10k exp per raid (which is really high) then it would be 100 raids.
But if you really focus tasks you could likely hit that 100 raid mark with much less average exp per raid

[tender cairn]

i'd say reserve, two choices when going there as a scav. u can go underground to fight pmcs looking for raiders, or u can loot above ground because nobody touches the surface

u usually make a lot of money when looting the surface

[wary vector]

That'd be nice if I could survive as a scav

[tender cairn]

wdym

[wary vector]

D e a t h

[tender cairn]

how do u die

if u avoid high traffic areas u won't die

kinda the whole point of y'know, being a scav

[wary vector]

That's cool and all but how is a new player supposed to know those spots and remember them all with only a couple hours

[agile helm]

you dont, this isnt a slow game, the skill progression is basically a vertical line

[stiff fractal]

Come run with me.

[blissful epoch]

it takes time i dont even know all scav extracts and im over 1k hrs

[wary vector]

Bet

[stiff fractal]

Gimme 5

[high crescent]

this is cap lmao my progression definitely is not a straight line. i’d kill for that

[agile helm]

its 100% a near vertical line

[blissful epoch]

I would say it's a steady climb with short burst of verticality

[high crescent]

i love being dogshit cos that literally doesnt apply to me

its more of a flatline than anything

[blissful epoch]

Lol no you are learning again it's a slow climb this game takes time

[high crescent]

i am certified tism boy i played for a couple months last year but i ran the game at like 20 frames so i wouldnt even really call that playing

[tepid garnet]

Scav is best on reserve because you can scavenge the reserves

[simple herald]

i can kill rogues as a scav and not lose rep right?

[drifting jolt]

farm raiders on reserve with your scav

[drifting jolt]

correct

[simple herald]

gsty

[drifting jolt]

if you can manage to kill them with your scav gun

[wicked sky]

Assuming all mags are fully loaded in rig, which mag would come first when reloading, the furthest left or right?

[agile helm]

left to right, top to bottom,

[wicked sky]

ty

[drifting jolt]

this is incorrect

[blissful epoch]

nvm then

[drifting jolt]

lol

if you dont rearrange your mags, it takes the next slot, and then the next slot, and so on

if you rearrange your mags, it'll grab from top left again

[wicked sky]

👍

[simple herald]

rip event gone i liked the event

[bold kernel]

how do i heal blacked out parts? i was told u couldnt but i just seen someone do it but idk how

[agile helm]

surv or CMS

[drifting jolt]

It's called a CMS, or Surv12 kit

[blissful epoch]

Surgery kits

[drifting jolt]

for the love of god use a screenshot tool lol

[blissful epoch]

Meh too much effort

To press f8

[simple herald]

does anyone know why i can only load into light house like 50% of the time the other 50% i get either anticheat connection lost or just disconnected and i cant reconnect

[drifting jolt]

not really sure, havent heard of that issue... you could try #community-support

[simple herald]

idk i came back from europe over the summer and suddenly couldnt play it ive researched idk if it just is my pc being not powerful enough but i was playing it just fine before my trip so idk

[drifting jolt]

do you have a lower end CPU?

[simple herald]

i5

[drifting jolt]

do you have 16 gigs of ram?

[simple herald]

12

[drifting jolt]

yeah, that's, unfortunately, pretty low end

[simple herald]

yea im working on trying to afford a future proof build so i dont have to worry about it for a few years

i just dont understand why i went from 0 issues playing lighthouse to not even loading in

[drifting jolt]

that is quite strange, but lighthouse is finicky for me, and takes a while to load, and i have i7 and 16 gigs

i believe min is 8... but when I had 8 it was a nightmare

took forever to load, and I started when you could load in late

so id load in and 30-90 seconds had already gone by

that shit sucked til they changed it

[simple herald]

yea idk i never had any issues i never loaded late never had any freezing issues ran higher frames idk it was weird

[drifting jolt]

well fortunately you cant load in late anymore, was changed like 4 wipes ago

[simple herald]

lmao

[drifting jolt]

now everyone waits for the final person to load it

i mean, maybe if you take for fucking ever to load it up

but you shouldnt be able to load in late anymore, as far as I know

[simple herald]

ive loaded late but my internet was taking a shit that day my friend made it in i showed up like 3-4 mins late it was very bad

he watched my player model appear

[drifting jolt]

oof, yeah i think after a certain amount of time the game says fuck it... but it used to be A LOT worse

[simple herald]

i do remember playing in 2019 and almost every raid i was a minute or two late almost like it would still load you in even after the raid started like it would find a match after it started

[drifting jolt]

yeah, that doesnt happen like that anymore thankfully

[simple herald]

right lmao loading into customs and finding marked already looted

[drifting jolt]

yeah it was rough back in the day lol

[simple herald]

i remember opening my first marked room and finding a weapons case but not having a big enough backpack for it

the pain to leave it there for someone else was immense

[drifting jolt]

that's rough

[high crescent]

i put this shit on my ssd for NOTHING

times rly have changed i remember getting banned earlier for complaining about the servers lmao

[fervent ermine]

if you are really really really slow it starts without you

[bold kernel]

oh thank you! i didnt know! i sold those thinking it was just worst selewas

[blissful epoch]

NP

[drifting jolt]

yeah, but not as bad as it once was

[bold kernel]

I Didn't expect 1st raid in factory to go nicely

[glossy roost]

anyone out there willing to help im somewhat new lvl 19 first wipe and im down bad only bout 160k and not much in my stash.

[bold kernel]

i cant figure out how to get my ergonomics to 47;-;

Introduction

[bold kernel]

im using that page

but it only shows one example and thats one expensive one

i have to use 2 pliers and a screwdriver and a bunch of other things just to make it ;-;

[tepid arrow]

You should just need an hdd and gk-02 as the only difficult parts to get

[blissful epoch]

Unfortunately they only have 1 or 2 ways to do most gunsmith quest

As far as I'm aware

[bold kernel]

aww man well time to hunt for pliers and screwdrivers

[fallen iron]

are red flares rare?

[south violet]

depends on your scav rep

you get them plenty with a high rep

otherwise they are pretty rare

[bold kernel]

whats a good pistol? im planning to use mostly shotguns like the m870 so i need a secondary long range

[drifting jolt]

just use slugs... you dont need a secondary

the only time you need a secondary is when youre sniping

and a shotgun is a better secondary than a pistol (in most cases)

but 5-7 is the best pistol

[bold kernel]

idk which slugs are good there are so many different kinds jaeger sells

[drifting jolt]

https://eft-ammo.com

you only need to look at 2 things... its damage and its penetration

[median niche]

is interchange just dead or is it normal that I can't hear a single gunshot 9 out of 10 times? do I just need to learn and track people or maybe is there a secret server setting?I play on auto eu and im losing my mind :(

[rocky ocean]

@median nicheits ded same experience

very very rarely I hear gunshots at emercom but havent run interchange for few days now

[bold kernel]

what im usa and interchange always has people

[rocky ocean]

oh yea I am EU

[bold kernel]

actually i never seen anywhere thats dead before on usa servers in my experience

but factory is definitely most popular

[median niche]

idk im trying to do chumming but I barely see anyone

might just try and check all servers idk what to do anymore

[high crescent]

i think its cos the new server update people have been complaining about getting moved to random servers

[median niche]

the update did help tbh on other maps, interchange is just damned for me

at least I saw a lot more action on customs idk

[bold kernel]

hmm odd i just play any servers but usually i cant catch a break, like oone time on customs i spawned and i walked like near bridge and 4 different guys was fighting throwinf nades and im just there with my pm pistol

[median niche]

I never had more than 2 enemy pmcs in sight lol

although I never play on wipe day, started both wipes quite late

[bold kernel]

i just started like a week ago

and i never found a single dead lobby ;-;

almost every run i either kill a pmc or a pmc kills me

[median niche]

well good for your gameplay and skill wise

not so much for wallet :D

[bold kernel]

haha i thought so but i did go on a crazy win streak

10 extracts and 6 fully decked out weapons

but i used most of their ammos so i was forced to sell em but i am almost at 2 mil cash now

[median niche]

damn gj

[bold kernel]

yeahh surprisingly its fun

but right now im back to bad ammo so i struggle a bit the only time i kill is if i use a mosin but i dont feel like using it

[high crescent]

i just blast em ammo be damned

50/50

(biased)

[median niche]

idk what to think about ammo anymore I was kinda tilted that I always died to BP but they headshot me all the time and I mean ammo doesn't matter to headshots lol

so im back to running rat rigs over gzhel and stuff

[high crescent]

its just cos you get hit with the wealth and the actual bullet

made friends with the same naked i shot and we were running togehter and a scav killed me LMAO

[bold kernel]

im just loving shotguns

im actually thinking of playing mostly shotgun only and maybe m4a1 because that gun is fun too

[median niche]

same, but when I use slugs I always miss bcs of zeroing lol

[bold kernel]

i love most guns so far but shotguns just have a bang to them

[cold spear]

How is g28 ass?

[high crescent]

when do i lose this gotdam leaf over my head

[bold kernel]

a week

how hard is it to get jaeger to ll3?

[drifting jolt]

jaegers quests are the most difficult overall

but 'hard' isnt really quantifiable in this regard

hard is subjective in this case

[bold kernel]

i meant like as a solo atleast because i need him to be ll3 for flechette rounds

[drifting jolt]

like I said, it's not really a question that's easy to answer

what I find hard and what you find hard are different things

[bold kernel]

hmm truee

i guess its because im new so i dont know is his missions like kill scavs or as hard as finding items across the maps like prapor

[drifting jolt]

i prefer solo myself

[drifting jolt]

his quests are considered the hardest of all traders

[brittle canyon]

craft or buy

[bold kernel]

im just more solo because any irl or online friends i make usually quit games too fast

[brittle canyon]

J3 is more important cuz water filter lv3

[bold kernel]

idk what that means i havent touched hideout at all;-;

[brittle canyon]

hideout is priority 1

get on it

[noble dagger]

I recently started playing, i'm unsure how to price this for the flea market, do i just add the costs of everything up?

[brittle canyon]

it’s not fir

can’t sell

[bold kernel]

i wouldd but i could barely get the loot for it im good at killing and thats it but most ppl just have guns and ammo because i kill them early in the raid

[noble dagger]

facepalm right...

[brittle canyon]

also selling anything on flea you just slightly undercut the cheapest reasonable offer

[noble dagger]

yea but all those offers are just the base gun, this gun is improved from the base one

[brittle canyon]

no one sells modded guns

well some people do but no one buys them

[noble dagger]

btw how is something not fir if i looted it from a pmc?

[brittle canyon]

the pmc brought it into raid

not find it in raid

it’s not about you finding it it’s about the item’s origins

[noble dagger]

alright, thx

[brittle canyon]

in case you somehow have a modded fir gun to sell you’d part it out and sell the mods seperately

[lone hinge]

i can't do gunsmith 14

[noble dagger]

you are right, i'll do it like that in the future

[brittle canyon]

but also remember that time spent staring at flea is time spent not raiding

don’t nickel and dime stuff

sometimes it’s best to dump to mechanic and move on

[noble dagger]

agreed

[lone hinge]

what i am doing wrong

[brittle canyon]

60 Durability
20 or more ergonomics
400 or less recoil
7.3 kg or less in weight
M14 UltiMAK M8 Forward Optic mount
Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 34mm riflescope
Aimpoint Micro T-1 reflex sight
Holosun LS321 Tactical device

[lone hinge]

i have all of that but some reason this error still poping out

[bold kernel]

how can i increase my standing with fense because hes at negative 0.88

[lone hinge]

dosen't matter ifi do it in my inventory or in preset menu

[brittle canyon]

vehicle exfils, coop exfils in every map 4 times each will get you +3 ish

after that you keep taking those exfils for diminishing gains, do scav tasks from fence, and kill traitor scavs as scav

[bold kernel]

oh yeah how do i coop exfil, anytime i tried talking to someone they just shoot me

i havent met a single friendly in my 40 hours of playing

[brittle canyon]

be pmc, be near naked, grab attention at coop

voip

[bold kernel]

i did that

they shot me anyways

even when i only had a knife

people in this game are just mute 99 percent of the time

[brittle canyon]

only knife is too unthreatening

you want to strike a balance between threatening, useful and valueless

look like a loot pinata - die
look like a free kill - die
look too scary - you or him dies
your sole purpose is to be a component of a useful exfil location and not a human player

you need to make them want to use your services and regard you as a part of the service

[bold kernel]

idk

i just never ever heard another voice in game except for voice lines

[brittle canyon]

then do voicelines

[bold kernel]

even when i kill them their friends dont even talk it out or anything i just end up killing all 4 in silence

[brittle canyon]

you killed their friend and expect them to talk it out

lol

[bold kernel]

well like

atleast ask for mercy

[brittle canyon]

yeah because normally that works so well

[bold kernel]

i killed 3 of ur friends without getting hit arent u atleast a bit scared

[brittle canyon]

no one trusts anyone lol and that’s normal

[bold kernel]

hmm

i constantly talk in game tho

weird maybe my voip is off

ill check tmr

because i really wanna try interacting with people like i watch streams and people talk to them abt once every 2 raids while im 40 hours in and played in silence

[brittle canyon]

streamers aren’t representative of anything

[bold kernel]

i guess so since some could know them

but still i hoped the game was more interactive but i guess irl people wont talk just shoot to kill in the scenario

[brittle canyon]

wait for pmc karma then

[blissful epoch]

I usually yell at people mid fight that's fun

[blissful epoch]

Ugghhh don't remind me

[bold kernel]

whats that

[bold kernel]

thats what i dooo but no reactions ever come

[brittle canyon]

scav karma but for pmcs

[bold kernel]

like im here for fun not to take all ur loot

[blissful epoch]

Yeah people are just sweaty nerds can't have fun

[brittle canyon]

but taking all the loot is fun

[blissful epoch]

Yeah so is doing shit like this https://youtube.com/shorts/JngNMf3Mqk4?feature=share

[bold kernel]

i have more fun in the immersive like gameplay, like roleplaying as if im in a actual life or death situation and have to think and maybe talk it out if its safer and stuff typa thing

[blissful epoch]

Yeeeeeeeee I do too personally I quite enjoy rp the problem is not alot of people do that's why I like "squad" and stuff

[bold kernel]

i tried squad but like tarkovs animation,sound design and everything fits me

i love tarkov but so far in my experience people play like its a ranked competitive game and not a immersive experience

[blissful epoch]

That's where I'm at I just like the freedom and customization tarkov gives to do what ever I want

[blissful epoch]

Hopefully once arena comes out that will pull some of those away

[brittle canyon]

if you were stuck in Russia with crazy locals with guns you better be competitive for your sake

[bold kernel]

but they also have family and if i blew off one of their legs i hope they beg for mercy

[brittle canyon]

they’re on drugs they feel less pain

[bold kernel]

not their legs their family members thats their partner

[sharp stratus]

Does this game have controller support?

[blissful epoch]

No

[bold kernel]

no

[brittle canyon]

yes if your controller has 83 buttons

labeled a to z, 1 to 9, etc

[blissful epoch]

You cannnnnnnnn technically do it I've seen it

Not recommended

[brittle canyon]

damn analog movement might be useful tho
just slightly push stick to sneak

too bad controllers have like, 2 and a half buttons

[bold kernel]

i was thinking how much easier jiggle peaking would be

[blissful epoch]

Right and I mean you wouldn't need that many buttons the only thing looting would suck

[blissful epoch]

What crack are u smoking

[agile helm]

Inertia

[bold kernel]

inertia?

[brittle canyon]

inertia

[bold kernel]

whas that

[brittle canyon]

the thing that stops you from adad strafing

[neon fulcrum]

simulation of ur wheigt

[sharp stratus]

Yeah but without native controller support games like this tend to not be worth trying to use a controller for. I have issues with my wrists that make it difficult to use my Keyboard for long periods of time. So I prefer to use a controller if possible thanks though.

[neon fulcrum]

so u slower and that shit with more wheigt

[blissful epoch]

Basically the more weight you have the more momentum you have speed carrying momentum

[brittle canyon]

now you need to do awdsawdsawds

[blissful epoch]

Yeah unfortunately maybe if this game gets optimized enough to come to console in 5 Years

[brittle canyon]

never

[bold kernel]

im talking abt like lean peeking because sometimes i struggle jiggling because how much i have to hold q and e back and forth

[blissful epoch]

Set it to tap and not hold

Then again I'm used to it 4k hrs in siege that's all you do

[bold kernel]

im thats the weird thing im like diamond in siege and i dont spam peek im a slow paced hold angle player with quick reactions

kinda like how i play tarkov i play patience over aggression

[agile helm]

diamond in siege means nothing in tarkov

[blissful epoch]

^

[bold kernel]

ehh i know that

[drifting jolt]

Tarkov rewards aggression

[blissful epoch]

It also can punish

[agile helm]

and this is coming from a multiple diamond/champ player

[bold kernel]

idk how to explain how i play?

[drifting jolt]

Tarkov is a mind game to a degree

Putting people on the backfoot is the smarter play

Having the enemy react to you is better than you reacting to the enemy

[blissful epoch]

You feel out the situation and make choices based off what's happening in the moment?

[bold kernel]

yeah sometimes im aggresive if i hear they are injured etc

but most of the time i chose patience until i know what weapon they have

[blissful epoch]

But you chose to be more passive but will take agresion when you have the advantage or a free kill

[bold kernel]

yeah like that

[blissful epoch]

I was typing that as u posted urs lol

[drifting jolt]

Tarkov is a bit of a mind game too... It's kind of like poker, you want to represent a stronger hand than what you potentially have in order to gain the upper hand on the enemy

[brittle canyon]

being passive means letting your attacker decide when, where and how he gets to kill you

[blissful epoch]

Yeah I solo que for like 75% of wipe all.my friends play for 2 weeks then get off so I do the same

[drifting jolt]

what this fool is saying

❤️

[blissful epoch]

Go bed ur delusional

[brittle canyon]

give them no time to think

[drifting jolt]

@blissful epoch what do you mean? this is entirely accurate

[brittle canyon]

shift w for your life

[blissful epoch]

Mans eating the ww2 German chocolate

[bold kernel]

even in a 1v4? this whole convo started talking abt being solo against groups ;-;

[brittle canyon]

you just… don’t take a 1v4?

this ain’t siege you can disengage

[blissful epoch]

Nah always

[bold kernel]

why not? i love winning them

[brittle canyon]

then push

[blissful epoch]

^

[brittle canyon]

but flank

[blissful epoch]

Or range

[brittle canyon]

range but also flank

[blissful epoch]

Pick ur fights and kills

[bold kernel]

oh i rush the weird warehouse on customs with the mounted lmg? i always find camper groups there and wiping them is so fun

[brittle canyon]

if they know where you are they get to choose where they kill you

[blissful epoch]

^

Get a pick and move

[bold kernel]

what i usually do i also use grenades to sound out my sprinting

[blissful epoch]

I guess

[bold kernel]

but i goes to bed then i try to do interchange all day

[blissful epoch]

Be careful when russian that warehouse because the boss can spawn with his guards

[blissful epoch]

Go bed

[bold kernel]

i shall its 8 am and no sleep

[brittle canyon]

nah reshala has noodles for brain

can’t do shit

[agile helm]

nades are bad, all it is is a bigger attractor

[blissful epoch]

Nah the bosses are ethier aimbotting or are noodle brain 50/50

[bold kernel]

but sometimes its good like in dorms

[blissful epoch]

Yes big explosion small area

[bold kernel]

i need to try and get used to dorms i only won there like 3 times

customs and interchange are my favorites so far

[drifting jolt]

IC best map

[bold kernel]

is sanitar like a guaranteed spawn?

[drifting jolt]

fuck no

@bold kernel https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Bosses

[bold kernel]

ohh okay because im watching someone do the letters task and they got sanitar like 4 times in a row lol

[drifting jolt]

20%

there's a 1 in 3125 chance he spawns 4 times in a row

[bold kernel]

jeeez

but i wanma hunt death knight just for his mask

[drifting jolt]

good luck

ive only found the goons once

rather they found me

[neon fulcrum]

he will laser u lol.
i fell like the goons are definitly one of the harder bosses

[drifting jolt]

they are

[neon fulcrum]

u need to use strats to kill them

or get lucky

[bold kernel]

dangg while pmcs are out to get u too

[drifting jolt]

you just need to snipe them from far away, or mag dump them when they rush you, but you still gotta kill birdeye cause he doesnt rush you

[neon fulcrum]

he will a bit, if the other 2 are dead

[drifting jolt]

best way to kill them is get them is for them to see you, and you get behind a closed door

[neon fulcrum]

but birdeye double tap headshots u

[blissful epoch]

Goons have messed me up my last 3 light house raids go there

[neon fulcrum]

he has like 99% hitchance

[drifting jolt]

and the moment you see their body textures through the door, you mag dump them

[neon fulcrum]

ye

u need to doorcamp

or wait around corner in cover

and good fucking luck if he got the big ass grenade launcher lol

[drifting jolt]

Killa breaks some times... https://streamable.com/t8vltb

[young prairie]

Hey all! Can you loot items when playing in the practice part of the game? When I click on items, nothing happens.

[drifting jolt]

you can yes

well you have to drag them, or ctrl + click, or alt + click them

[neon fulcrum]

did u kill him tho

[drifting jolt]

fuck no, we couldnt get out of that spot lol

[neon fulcrum]

well maybe he wold shoot that spot even if u stand next to him xD

[drifting jolt]

he just kept shooting over and over

[neon fulcrum]

who knows

[young prairie]

No. Items in a car or on shelves bags...

[drifting jolt]

yes... i answered your question

[neon fulcrum]

u can take everything

just press f

[young prairie]

LOL thaks

[drifting jolt]

if it's not working then something is messed up

oh right right

shit im an idiot

im tired.. dont mind me

[neon fulcrum]

lol

[drifting jolt]

lol my bad

@young prairie there's not really a point in looting offline though, considering you dont get to keep it

all hail doge, our supreme overlord https://streamable.com/c8i9h2

[young prairie]

@drifting jolt OK. thanks. Very new to the game

[drifting jolt]

all good... you cant take stuff from an offline raid, but you also dont lose anything... so you can take in 1000 rounds and a bunch of nades

[bold kernel]

so im assuming tasks is what spice up the game? because id love to see a task be like kill pmc with a grenade and i have to snipe off their legs to make it easy

[drifting jolt]

you get it all back when you die/quit/extract

[drifting jolt]

huh? if he's dead, why would you have to snipe his legs?

[bold kernel]

noo im saying shoot off their legs so i get to use my grenade to kill them

[drifting jolt]

@young prairie running raids offline is great to learn scav AI... make sure you turn on the scavs though when you do an offline raid

also great for learning maps

[median niche]

after 2 weeks I finally finished chumming lol, I just feel bad for camping idea pc room for the last 2 kills

[drifting jolt]

there are sniping quests, there is also a grenade kill quest

but not a combination of the two...

[bold kernel]

oh thats fine

[drifting jolt]

Grenadier quest - kill 8 PMCs with grenades

[bold kernel]

i never wanted quests to be combined im just saying like i would love having to think of a strat to finish a quest

[drifting jolt]

used to be 12, until they changed it to 8 during this wipe

[drifting jolt]

just wait until you have to be wearing specific armor/gear

or use a specific gun

[young prairie]

@drifting jolt OK cool. thanks for the help! I'll give it a try lateron

[drifting jolt]

aye

@bold kernel Wait til you have to kill 3 PMCs in one raid with a bolt action... that's a fun one

and by fun, i mean maddening

[bold kernel]

oh all those sound super fun

[drifting jolt]

see you say that

[bold kernel]

just sucks wipe is soon

[drifting jolt]

arent you new?

[bold kernel]

id love any reason to do different things

[drifting jolt]

This is the best time to learn... so when wipe happens youre not starting completely new

[bold kernel]

yeahh but all i really do is kill pmc and farm high level loot off them

[drifting jolt]

Oh there are tons of quests that make you do/use specific things, dont you worry

[bold kernel]

i just recently started doing tasks yesterday

[drifting jolt]

you need like 200 quests completed to get the kappa container

you probably wont do that next wip

wipe*... unless you play 40+ hours a week, and there's a good chance you wont get the kappa container even if you do play that much

only 2% of players got to level 40 last wipe

[bold kernel]

probably not im only playing alot of hours this week because i have covid but i start work again next week so ill start having less and less time

[drifting jolt]

and id say only 1 in 100 of those people achieved teh kappa container

yeah, then you wont get it... youll probably get to 40

but if you dont have full time hours to put towards Tarkov you wont make it to end game

[bold kernel]

i have abt 36 hours and im level like 11

[bold kernel]

i just play for the immersive experience i enjoy the tasks system i wish i used it instead of just playing for loot

[drifting jolt]

well it'll definitely keep you occupied then

[bold kernel]

oh thats good! thats my biggest fear for this game, i wont have enough to do

[drifting jolt]

dont you fret little one

[bold kernel]

like rust i ran out of ideas so i got bored

[drifting jolt]

there are daily and weekly quests too

[bold kernel]

oh nice! i came across some bit most of em were like 800xp and 1000 rubles so i never really did them

[drifting jolt]

i do some, but skip most

lol... id love to talk to you this time next wipe

you wont be so eager

how about surviving every single map, in a row, without dying... does that sound like fun? lol

[neon fulcrum]

good ol double barrel lol

[drifting jolt]

I loves me a good shotgun lol

and they're adding streets... so one more map you have to survive

[bold kernel]

that could be fun but very luck based

[drifting jolt]

i have more shotgun kills than any other weapon type

[neon fulcrum]

already this wipe?

les fucking go

[drifting jolt]

yeah, this next wipe will have streets, confirmed

[neon fulcrum]

bruh haha, im also hyped for antlerman and lighthousekeeper

[drifting jolt]

it's gonna wipe between xmas and new years most likely

[neon fulcrum]

with new ingame trade mechanics

and that shit

[bold kernel]

ill probably stick to customs and interchange until i wanna learn lighthouse and shoreline

[drifting jolt]

well they havent confirmed that they are 2 different people... they also havent confirmed that in-raid trading is involved in this next wipe either

[neon fulcrum]

lighthouse is very easy and shoreline is ok, not that hard

[drifting jolt]

Shoreline blows dick

The resort is the only place worth going, and that's guaranteed PvP, but the rest of the map is a snooze fest

[neon fulcrum]

but lightkeeper is a traider, and he only appears on this island, so u basically have to bring him the stuff u wanna trade ingame, thats cool and annoying, but can give some juice loot kills

but i think they are 2 different people, both involved with the cult tho

[drifting jolt]

i understand what youre saying... but they havent said that lightkeeper is coming with the next wipe

[neon fulcrum]

oh fuck, i missed that

i want him haha

[drifting jolt]

antler man is... but it's speculated that lightkeeper and antler man might be the same person, but they havent said one way or the other

if they're the same person, then yeah, in-raid trading

but if they're not the same person, we might not be getting lightkeeper

they havent said one way or the other

[neon fulcrum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7kHL1bBBBU well i watched this a few days ago, its interesting atleast

[drifting jolt]

well yeah... so he even says in the video that they might be the same person...

[neon fulcrum]

mhm

[neon fulcrum]

yep, ik, that is a solid theory

[drifting jolt]

we're lead to believe they're different people

but it's a possiblity they're one guy

[neon fulcrum]

or lead to belive they are the same haha and true, it is possible

[drifting jolt]

im more interested in what are the new guns and if there will be deployable mines

Nikita mentions using mines to blow up walls on Streets

but didnt specifically state how mines are used

[neon fulcrum]

oh god, mines

[drifting jolt]

so they may only work on streets

who knows

[neon fulcrum]

the rat possiblities if they come like that.

but i dont think that will happen

[drifting jolt]

the BTR vehicle will not be on Streets to start with

no boss either

[neon fulcrum]

rip

[drifting jolt]

I think mines would be cool ONLY IF you have to trigger them manually

if you can set them and just walk away from them, i think that's kinda lame

like triggerable claymores would be dope

[neon fulcrum]

that wouldnt really be a mine anymore, but that would indeed be cool

[neon fulcrum]

definitely, tho maybe op too

[drifting jolt]

a mine doesnt have to be tirggered by the enemy to be a mine

a manually triggered mine is still a mine

[neon fulcrum]

imagin u have just killed the whole lobby and then u just walk past some dude in a bush chilling wwaiting to blow u up with 2 claymores, and u jsut fall over

[drifting jolt]

that would suck, but he also could be sitting in a bush waiting to full auto you too

granted, the mine would be more powerful

[neon fulcrum]

yep lol, but it will be interesting how much damage those mines would do or what armor can do

[drifting jolt]

@neon fulcrum yeah, I'm a bit nervous as to their implementation.

[neon fulcrum]

as always lol, tarkov can be very good, or kinda meh if they fuck it up

its always a gamble with tarkov haha

[desert nova]

is there anyone from SEA who is willing to help out ? I am very new to this game

[viscid obsidian]

I think one of us would lag out but what do you need specific help for?

[desert nova]

understanding the game and where to find good loot

[brittle canyon]

google mapgenie tarkov

has all the loot

but at low levels you’re just doing quests and picking up loot as you quest

[viscid obsidian]

and best advise is to try and find a sherpa to get a good understanding of the game.
it is quite complex

[orchid salmon]

Can always try sherpa hub, Cringey is from OCE and an amazing sherpa! 😄

!sherpahub

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[unreal horizon]

can't connect as I'm NA but if you have any questions shoot em here

[whole thistle]

You can look up loot guides for specific maps, just make sure they're from the last like 6 months

[edgy plover]

You can also look in #regional-communities to find some people a bit closer

[bold kernel]

anyone wana run on customs

join lfg customs 7

[jagged laurel]

yo im getting desynced like crazy

[dry hare]

EU beginner lfp

[nova sentinel]

can i mount flashlights to helmets

[whole thistle]

some helmets yes

its super janky tho

[tepid garnet]

Yea there is not button to toggle them. You have to put them on your gun, turn them on, and then put them on your helmet

[exotic comet]

Helping new players DM FOR INVITE

[mint light]

300k for a gun thats worse than the sr25 lol

[fringe jay]

it is the lightest thoo

[tepid garnet]

G28 so based

[misty moon]

what do dogtags do

[mint light]

quests, barters, money

[misty moon]

what are barters, are they just when u trade like a few items for one item

[mint light]

yeah

trade like a tank of propane for an armor etc

[lost frost]

and for the flex

[golden badger]

if anyone is looking to become a sherpa for low level players and teach them the ropes please dm me.

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

I think the g28 is better then the RSASS at least. Not much beats the SR-25.

[mint light]

what

the rsass is better than ever dmr rn

[cold spear]

Damn I don’t really ever use it

[mint light]

rsass>m1a>sr25>g28>rfb>vepr

[fringe jay]

MDR ?

[mint light]

mdr isnt a dmr home slice

[finite badge]

Is there a way to get the Shturman loading screen when launching the game as it's own file so I can set it as my desktop background without the legal stuff at the bottom?

[fringe jay]

just want to know what u think about it lol

[mint light]

best 308 gun

hardest recoil stat lie in the game tho

like it dosent have 90 recoil lol

[mint light]

could def win shift s and crop shit out then paste it somewhere and download it

[finite badge]

I'll try that, but I rarily get it as I keep getting the peacekeeper one for some reason

[mint light]

i also literally googled it

and it came up

[midnight dragon]

anyone new players need assistance?

[finite badge]

Thanks man

[cold spear]

MDR imo has too much recoil even meta’d out for me. It’s a decent gun just feels a bit jumpy when shooting single fire.

[mint light]

it has no recoil

[fringe jay]

hu

[unreal horizon]

pov you cant pull down

[mint light]

mdr literally 0 recoil

it says 89 but its lie

[fervent pine]

Yo where should i get good weapons at start ? (Relativ new)

[mint light]

sks vepr km and ump

dont buy from fence or use scav guns

[misty lichen]

is ump lvl 1 ?

[unreal horizon]

yes

buy the knives from fence

[fervent pine]

I did that but mostly i get dumped by meta stuff

[jagged laurel]

ehhh it has a decent bit compared to say a vector XD

[mint light]

if u use a vector something is wrong with you

[tepid arrow]

Buy Damascus knives from fence and buy ump from peacekeeper

[tepid arrow]

[dire rock]

[green marten]

how do i find the extract things? like is there a special way or sum? or are they just different pois

[open hedge]

maps

[dire rock]

maps

[open hedge]

google

[green marten]

do you know any good maps?

[open hedge]

mapgenie.com

[green marten]

ty

[open hedge]

big

it is?

my bad

huh

didnt realize mapgenie had these too

oh i get it

doesnt teach you what ammo is good

just teaches noobs (who dont know how caliber works) what goes into what gun and mag

i shall reference this for future

[unreal horizon]

lol

if they cant read the bottom left of the gun i doubt they can read that site

[open hedge]

ive seen a good few people not know

so maybe a site will shorten the 30 minute explanation

also has list of every quest in chronological order

sorted by trader

this is pretty neat tbh

[tranquil leaf]

can someone help me do some interchange runs im trying to learn the map and get hideout stuff

[open hedge]

mapgenies keytool shows you where every key goes on their maps

this thing is way more helpful than new player me utilized all them moons ago

[neat nebula]

what are some good load outs for low level?

[open hedge]

class 3 ubey rig from ragman

and sks with 20rd mags from peacekeeper

or vepr km with 30rd mags if you have them

and any headset you have

my personal favorite low level bag is mbss due to its decent size and the fact thats its insanely cheap

for smg route (unrecommended until higher levels) ppsh with lrnpc is best leg meta youll get

thats all

if you have jaeger all shotguns are good

thats my actual final note

[ruby geode]

hi, im new to the game but managed to fill my whole inventory with some gun attachments things, im level 3 right now, what should i do with them? can i just sell them to make some money so i can buy weapons?

im running low on cash cuz im dying all the time, i only have left like 100 000 and buying new body armour/backpack/stuff every time is quite expensive

so i was wondering if i can just sell that stuff to those traders or will i be making some cardinal sin by doing so :3

[open hedge]

most weapon attachments are mid

sell most of them other than things with high stats

like super high stats

or keep foregrips as they are easy to put on and benefit from

[ruby geode]

ok thanks

does it matter who i sell those items to?

i guess some guys are paying more then the other

[open hedge]

mechanic

sell order
therapist>ragman>jaeger>mechanic>peacekeeper>skier>fence

some traders only buy niche things

so even though they are high on that list they wont buy much

[ruby geode]

thanks ❤️

[mystic blaze]

There are lots of item guides around the net, lemme find one really quick

from the wiki

[misty moon]

what should i be looking for in that

[mystic blaze]

although that's for quests, also a hideout item guide somewhere I'm sure
