[analog maple]

is there a way to inspeact faster?

[whole thistle]

middle click

[peak burrow]

Are the SAS HardDrives useful? Half of the time idk what is good and what is not

lol

[whole thistle]

sas drives sell for a good bit to peacekeeper

you need a hard drive to barter for one of the gunsmith parts

you can check the wiki page for an item to see if it's used for any quests or barters or anything

[peak burrow]

oh boy. Most of the attachments I am finding rn I just sell them to the mechanic

Basically been doing Sell what I can to Ragman first, then Therapist, then Mechanic and then the rest

[whole thistle]

yeah thats fine

just check some items to see if youll need them

at least get into the habit, since ig its not too important rn

[manic aspen]

did they remove the option to change the keybind for inspect items?

[analog maple]

it doesent seem to have a scope what how do I add one?

[whole thistle]

put this on

[peak burrow]

Is The Scav Junk Box worth buying?

[whole thistle]

yeah

why did you bold scav lol

[manic aspen]

1000% if the season wasnt about to end

[whole thistle]

really useful though

[peak burrow]

Cause I said Lucky Scav Box and I am pretty sure thats another thing

or is it a case

[whole thistle]

there is only 1 junk box

[peak burrow]

ah okay brain fart

[thick cape]

Lucky scav junk box is the junk box 😄

[open salmon]

I think the gamble box about

[peak burrow]

Okay so should I hold off for now?

Ill be broke if I buy it anyways so idk kinda confused

[whole thistle]

do you have an issue with stash space

[thick cape]

if you're struggling with space, and have a lot of things that'd go into it, but have a bit of money to buy one, I'd just buy it 🙂

[whole thistle]

^

[thick cape]

then you can see if it's worth it or not for next wipe 🙂

[whole thistle]

its gonna be worth it no matter what

[thick cape]

100%, but this wipe for me it hasn't been cause I've literally sold everything and just pvp'd 🤣

[peak burrow]

This is what my stash looks like, theres like a gun and a few mags below but this is all I have left in terms of items after I cleared out my stash a bit

[viscid obsidian]

not that much use for a scav box with what you have now though

[peak burrow]

yeah I figured.

My goal rn is just learn the maps and build the hideout along side it, however much i can

[viscid obsidian]

I learned most maps in my first wipe with doing some scav runs and offline raids

progress isn't there but helps to get to know the map decent without any interference :)

[royal cliff]

anyone wanna help me out im new (eu)?

[viscid obsidian]

what are you seeking most?

[royal cliff]

well pvp, gear, fun

[unreal horizon]

no fun in tark, gotta grind tasks to get gear

[royal cliff]

yeh well its the end of wipe

not gonna grind

[unreal horizon]

ig kill people for gear then

[royal cliff]

true true

[cunning cobalt]

Tarkov fun ??? You play Tarkov for the adrenaline rush and anxiety attacks

[mint light]

no i dont

[tender cairn]

yes i do

[fringe cobalt]

hi

[zinc canopy]

Hi

[nova sentinel]

is sidestepping viable

does it have benefits

[open hedge]

no

its like leaning but worse

in every way

[unreal horizon]

idk what you mean by that

oh like the alt e or whatever

[open hedge]

yes

its literally useless

[unreal horizon]

when servers are on fire its pretty good, otherwise i wouldnt use

[nova sentinel]

but its faster and bigger

[open hedge]

i love showing my enemy more of my body

[nova sentinel]

ur character leans too

at same time

[unreal horizon]

uh what

dont think so?

[nova sentinel]

when u sidestep ur body also leans to the side

[unreal horizon]

barely

[nova sentinel]

more than barely

no much

[unreal horizon]

still worse than alt lean

[nova sentinel]

i bett next update they will add left shouldering

[unreal horizon]

i'd love that but no shot

[nova sentinel]

it has been very big problem and bsg listens

also in new video the camera suspiciously focused on the dude left shouldering his gun

[unreal horizon]

lmao

[nova sentinel]

new rhixhxiryrt video thing

[unreal horizon]

my man said bsg listens

[nova sentinel]

man atleast they lsiten more than any other game company

mention 1 game company that listens

[manic aspen]

In the last video chronicles of ryzhy there are at least 4 people shooting left handed and they also switch weapon hands when peeking from the left

[nova sentinel]

truu i think this is a hint

[unreal horizon]

genuinely cant tell if thats satire

[rapid smelt]

where can i ask about not being able to download the game? having this for the last 1 year and tutorials don't work

[bold kernel]

anyone got an full ll1 mp133 build for the gunsmith part 1 task

[dim wharf]

free kitted p90 with 5 mags of ss190 and usec/trooper armor and a ulach for whoever joins shorline #12 first

[tepid garnet]

Sidestepping is actually so op lmfao

It’s a bit delayed but it’s the best way to hold an angle around a corner, because you can duck back in fast as fuck

[open hedge]

not really

you can do the same thing leaning

[tepid garnet]

Leaning is no where near as fast.

Because inertia exists.

[open hedge]

you can use movement keys

[tepid garnet]

Inertia exists

[open hedge]

lean and walk at the same time

inertia doesnt do shit if youre holding an angle

[tepid garnet]

It lets you duck down faster. It’s better. Can’t convince me it’s not. I’ve killed too many people with it.

[open hedge]

if you like it im not gonna argue but its basically just leaning but exposes your whole body

[brisk prairie]

how does i switch to the reflex sight, i tried the switch between sights keybind but it didnt work

but its a hybrid no?

oh 💀

thought it came with one

thanks

[open hedge]

you are speaking to nobody

[brisk prairie]

i may look schizophrenic but there was someone

he deleted messages

i swear

any sight that'll work with this available from lvl 1 traders?

[open hedge]

no

only accepts deltapoint

[brisk prairie]

alright thanks

[mellow escarp]

anyone else haveing server connection issues? for some reason i keep getting disconnected while trying to join a scav run

[hardy rain]

yo i got some questions bout exfils

i have a list of them on my right and when i go to the ones on the list they are fucking closed

is there a time when they open or smthn?

[unreal horizon]

the ones with ??? are conditional

[hardy rain]

and can i exfil from locations that arent on my list

[hardy rain]

ohhh

[unreal horizon]

no

[hardy rain]

damn

okay so the ones without ???? i can just walk to and exfil no matter what?

[unreal horizon]

correct

[hardy rain]

cheers thats really helpful

[unreal horizon]

the ??? could mean you have to pay, require a switch hit or key requirement, or just might not be there

[hardy rain]

damn

[unreal horizon]

only really need to know the guaranteed ones, others are a convenience

[hardy rain]

thats irritating

yea i will

bro why tf is a bottle of water 12000 coins

well thats a scam

[unreal horizon]

beats dying

elite metabolism go crazy never need to drink

[hardy rain]

yea

[unreal horizon]

russia bux

[hardy rain]

they are russia coins

exactly

never knew people called it rub

[dawn geyser]

Never heard of that either.

[hardy rain]

so idk most shit yet, eg i just brought in the wrong kind of ak ammo

yea ill type rub then

[dawn geyser]

Sharing account details is against Tarkov Terms of usage, please don't say that o:

[hardy rain]

oh sorry

[hardy rain]

didnt know my bad, wont happen again

[dawn geyser]

[hardy rain]

oh yea is there a better place to buy stuff than the flee market?

i meant like guns and ammo

will they have better prices than the flee market?

ah

whats a good price for a gun? Like whats cheap and whats expensive

oh

yea stock

okay

[brazen mango]

if i die with things like these in my special slots will i lose them?

[brisk prairie]

how can i get this shotgun down to 4 slots

extended mag makes it 5

and i have no clue how to make it smaller

[dapper galleon]

I believe the 6 shell tube works

[brisk prairie]

tried, he didnt accept and i cant buy the 7 shell tube

[dapper galleon]

Unload the gun

Empty out all the shells and use the 6 shell

Might also be the durability

[cedar bay]

how does fence work? wondering since his items change so quickly and sometimes it says the things are already sold

[dapper galleon]

Don’t buy from him

[tepid arrow]

Player market

[dapper galleon]

He is the trash can of all the traders

[tepid arrow]

Ai prices

[cedar bay]

why?

[tepid arrow]

He overcharges

[dapper galleon]

It’s all garbage

Scav guns for to much money

There’s a couple things that are good deals

But most of it is bad

[tepid arrow]

The only thing you should buy from him are bars knives

[cedar bay]

i dont have flea market unlocked and need some stuff that he might have, is there an actual reason not to buy from him except that its expensive?

[tepid arrow]

Is it for a task?

[cedar bay]

just some stuff not available to buy elsewhere

looking for an sks handle for example

[tepid arrow]

If its for a task, most task items neede to be FiR

[cedar bay]

or a 60 capacity mag for ak

[tepid arrow]

Then no

You can buy from him

[cedar bay]

yea no not a task, just stuff I need

[tepid arrow]

Was just about to say

[cedar bay]

I mean I'm lvl 12 with 3 mil rubles and a full stash, with a wipe coming soon

[tepid arrow]

I can buy 60 rders and I still use 30's

Good point

[cedar bay]

i know I dont need it but i found an sks with a suppressor and a scope and accidentally sold the grip so now I cant use it

[tepid arrow]

At this point just have as much fun as possible ig

[cedar bay]

and for this the mag is for a quest, and I need ll2 with a trader to buy it and im only ll1

[tepid arrow]

❤️ days

[cedar bay]

how would I get lvl 15 that fast? I have played like 50 hours and am lvl 12 :D

[tepid arrow]

Tasks

[cedar bay]

yea well see, the thing is I need those items for the tasks

or one of them

[tepid arrow]

Is it the 60 rnd ak 545 mag?

[tepid arrow]

For ice cream cones?

[cedar bay]

yea

for gunsmith part 2

[tepid arrow]

Yeah dont worry about gunsmith before 15

And you can find those mags in zb-014

But I assume you don't have the key

[cedar bay]

I do

[tepid arrow]

Oh

Then look there

[cedar bay]

this?

[tepid arrow]

Yes

[cedar bay]

damn I really hate woods, always get shot out of nowhere by a sniper there xD

[tepid arrow]

Go night time

Night time woods is awesome

I don't understand why people don't like it

I assume you stay around sawmill

Cause if not you're a minority

[cedar bay]

because I don't know every tree and I can't locate myself using landmarks if I don't see where im going :>

[tepid arrow]

Nah

That's cringe

[tepid arrow]

Night time isn't even that dark

Depending on the moon you can even see better during the day IMO

Than*

Customs is most icky map

[cedar bay]

I'm not really a fan of customs overall

reserve is bae :>

yea haha

[tepid arrow]

I just bring some food, wait, and then task

[cedar bay]

:D

[tepid arrow]

Almost all task locals are open

[cedar bay]

do skills reset with wipe as well?

[tepid arrow]

Ye

[cedar bay]

alright nice

[tepid arrow]

Everything but your edition and friends reset

[cedar bay]

awesome

[tepid arrow]

Gonna be so sad to lose my labs armband

:c

[cedar bay]

do u get the "care package" u got when starting again or is that gone=

[tepid arrow]

I think so

No

I think that was only around for this wipe for rn tho

[cedar bay]

yea the m4 and mp5s etc

[tepid arrow]

So it's probably coming back

Oh

[cedar bay]

alright sick

[tepid arrow]

I thought you were talking about the ones from prapor

[cedar bay]

since when is the time this much, I've got an exam in 5.5 hours lmao

fkn tarkov got me addicted

[dim wharf]

giving away free svds kit with 3 extra 20 rnd mags plus a 5-7 with 3 mags and a mmac and a boonie hat

[queen quest]

hello i was wondering how my gun set up is for a noob. i know the durability is really low tho

also i know im broke 😦

really? im happy then

i just did it on my own

[unreal horizon]

make sure u bring a headset

[queen quest]

idk where to buy one

[unreal horizon]

prapor

[mint light]

replace it with a non scav ak and its cool

[queen quest]

what ak? and i see the headset i think

gssh-01?

[mint light]

whatever one u want

if u use a 50 dura gun its gonna jam and be inaccurate

[queen quest]

hmm

what gun can i even afford

[tepid arrow]

M32

[tepid arrow]

Buy a ump, get the knives from fence

[queen quest]

where i buy ump

[tepid arrow]

Peacekeeper

You’ll also have to swap your helmet

The ratnik from Prapor is the best ll1 imo

[queen quest]

my pk is lvl 1

[tepid arrow]

You can still buy it

You just need to buy the knives from fence

Should run you 32k

[queen quest]

ok ill check once im out raid

ok

[tepid arrow]

After that you’ll wanna slap on a KAC vfg and a laser/flashlight and laser combo

[queen quest]

i can also buys those with lvvl 1 trader?

[tepid arrow]

Yes

The sight on your ak is decent enough

It’s my favorite besides a holo

[queen quest]

okay i will try it out

so whole build is 32k?@tepid arrow

[tepid arrow]

No

Just the gun

[formal kelp]

overall best are gssh/m32 all tho gssh makes whole game kinda loud

[unreal horizon]

yk there's no overall best

[tepid arrow]

Not the tac4’s?

[queen quest]

is that supposed to be good

[unreal horizon]

the headsets are 95% preference

[tepid arrow]

It’ll make your ears bleed

[unreal horizon]

if you ask me its 100 but i dont wanna get flamed

[tepid arrow]

M32’s will Atleast allow you to play full volume so you can get every advantage

[unreal horizon]

i mean gssh is the same

[tepid arrow]

You’ll unironically give yourself hearing damage

[unreal horizon]

i've been using gssh for 3k hours

theyre fine

[tepid arrow]

Full volume?

[unreal horizon]

i guess?

idk what u mean by that

like i dont have trouble hearing people

[tepid arrow]

Computer 100% up, client 100% up

Full volume

[unreal horizon]

no but that's loud for me with any headset

[tepid arrow]

Bruh

[unreal horizon]

idk i just use compression and turn it up until its good lol

aint that deep audio doesnt work anyway 50% of the time

[tepid arrow]

I mean

When bushes are just going on and on and on and on

It tends to drown out any footsteps

[unreal horizon]

maybe ive just done enough face shield raids that i dont care

[tepid arrow]

Perchance

[unreal horizon]

but i've genuinely never had an issue with them

[tepid arrow]

I cannot stand them

[queen quest]

should i do this ump build if i still have my vpo? @tepid arrow

[tepid arrow]

I don’t like the vpo and you could seriously improve that thing

[queen quest]

wym improve

like better attachments?

[tepid arrow]

Biggest downsides are other mag capacities, parts, and dura

[unreal horizon]

just hard to beat ump low level

[tepid arrow]

Can’t improve mags and dura

Least not yet

[queen quest]

ok so should i sell my vpo?

[tepid arrow]

Make sure you take of the bastion and sight

And stock

If I remember right that stock is good

You’ll wanna sell the gun itself to fence and the suppressor to mechanic

[queen quest]

okay

can i get supressor for ump?

[tepid arrow]

No

[queen quest]

aww

[tepid arrow]

Don’t REALLY need one

[queen quest]

i want one so bad

i think they so cool

[tepid arrow]

You can maybe find one in raid

I personally don’t run a suppressor

[queen quest]

mhmm

i like tho

[tepid arrow]

Lotta folk say they’re meta tho

[queen quest]

i feel like it makes sense

[tepid arrow]

A suppressor is less needed on a ump than a rifle cause it’s an smg so it quieter, has muuuuuuch less recoil, and theyre almost the cost of the gun itself

[queen quest]

okay then

if i can get one then why not but i wont stress it

any traders sell supressors ?

[whole thistle]

At higher levels yeah

The only level 1 suppressor is skier with the 366 tkm suppressor

[tepid arrow]

^

They’re not too uncommon to find if you know where to look

[queen quest]

im rocking that one now

idk where to look at all lol

[tepid arrow]

Just weapon crates and gunspawns

[queen quest]

alright

[tepid arrow]

My personal favorite is usec camp

[queen quest]

ive been trying to learn woods

but everyone goes usec camp when i try to go lol

[unreal horizon]

you dont need to loot it

just kill the guys who did

[queen quest]

woah lmao

[queen quest]

me? kill a pmc???? idk about that

[unreal horizon]

click on them while they're in a big open field

[queen quest]

Lmao yes it’s just that easy 😁

Also if I had a full durability Vpo with the same attachments, is that build good?

It was somewhat cheap to make

[unreal horizon]

anything with a decent optic will be fine for that

[bold kernel]

yo im trying to get scav kills and just do some basic tasks but customs seems like its filled with a buncha high-level people

ive done a bit of woods, is that a map with less pvp?

[bold kernel]

Much safer maps watch out for mines and extract campers

[bold kernel]

alr thx, any other map suggestions?

[formal kelp]

Ok so rn every map is gonna be filled with those bf its late wipe and everyone is juiced af. Customs after first 2 months becomes purely pvp map

woods is usually safer but most playerbase dont like it since usually you're dying from some bush lol. You could also try shoreline its usually not that pvp focused outside the resort

but the resort is high loot and pvp zone so you coule avoid that

also if you want to try out pvp with someone less geared I would say factory is your bet. They are many people running around with pistols but they are also mega chads so just watch out

[bold kernel]

The risk of dying from dehydration in woods is significantly lower

Cause every hut literally has food in it

Every

[lusty loom]

hey can i ask a question? i got the game a few months ago and i know the point is to get loot but what should the goal be for new players like what should i be working for rn?EDIT: i feel like all i do is get on and walk around die and get off

[formal kelp]

tasks prolly

[bold kernel]

is woods less dense with players in general as well?

[bold kernel]

Do tasks and your main goal is to get to lvl 15

So tasks

And money

[formal kelp]

not really map is huge and if you want to avoid fights you can do it easily

[bold kernel]

ah alr, any points of pvp that i should avoid
or third party cuz i should learn anyway

aside from bosses and map boundaries ig

[formal kelp]

sawmill area on woods has a lot of traffic if thats what you're asking

[bold kernel]

oh yea i heard about that, that sounds right

[formal kelp]

gimme a sec

im on my phone so its rough but those are 3 most pvp dense areas on woods

UN camp, sawmill and sniper rock

and areas near them

the upper part of the map is for the most part not that populated peiple rush to the bottom usually

[brittle canyon]

usec not un

wait is it un?

usec is the one up the mtn

people just call it fob tho

[formal kelp]

it is un yeah

never heard that in my life lol

[brittle canyon]

kinda common

[formal kelp]

what region are you from

[brittle canyon]

why does that matter, the term floats around in western media

[lusty loom]

are there specific tasks that are better to go for wehn your new or should i just di any of them

[brittle canyon]

all of em

[lusty loom]

all of em

[brittle canyon]

but stack the quests

good example is shootout picnic, “kill scavs in woods”

[formal kelp]

do all of them at the start then some silly little tasks like peackeepijg mission or shooter born in heaven will come up

but dont worry about tgem

[brittle canyon]

you never work on shootout picnic

because there’s other “kill scavs in woods but xxxxx” quests

so you progress on multiple quests at the same time

[formal kelp]

im curious since ive really never heard it, even from streamers

[brittle canyon]

this is quest stacking and is the key to efficient questing

[formal kelp]

also its a questline you wont progress without doing quest X you wont be able to do quest Y etc

o it gives you good exp which is important

[lost frost]

best armor rig?

[mint light]

plateframe

[unreal horizon]

cpc or tactec go hard

[mint light]

plateframe

just hard to get

[lost frost]

gotcha

[mint light]

cpc and tactec also good

[lost frost]

i have 2 tactec, didnt know they good

and 1 tagila avs

[unreal horizon]

tactec is nice, minimal debuffs, good dura, 4x4 so might not get taken

[high crescent]

blinkers for my stash run

[lost frost]

tagilla rig or tactec better?

[broken bear]

level 10. 3 straight headshots to my ryst locked on to me, from about 50m after he was killed my teammate. they ruin the game lol

[lost frost]

hacker?

[broken bear]

LMFAO

[lost frost]

confused what u tryna say

[broken bear]

YEs hacking sorry

[charred idol]

pretty sure hacking, i was in lobby as well one of them on their stack has radar

[lost frost]

but it cant be, hes nikita the creater of the game why would he hack

lol

[charred idol]

forgot

lol

[broken bear]

they also naded me and my teammate, ( we werent making a single sound) prone behind a bush, after my first teammate died and got naded after we were camping our teammates body.

so radar as well

lmfao bad way to explain, we are not rats, its just first teammate death kinda sus so we were trying to wait them out just in case. no way they knew we were there.

[mint light]

nikitaselfbar is a fire name

[unreal horizon]

you cant cheat in tarkov is has anticheat

[lost frost]

facts ive never seen a hacker only some pros that could fly and drop nades from anywhere onto me

[bold kernel]

His name tho

If I was killed by nikitiaselfbar I wouldn’t be mad

[bold kernel]

Lol

[broken bear]

LMFAO

[broken bear]

true but he cheats sadly 😭 elsewise i would become his friend

couldnt find your name to @ you so had to scroll. Thanks so much, no crashes since i increased page file size. ty

[bold kernel]

where can i find salewas

ive been checking medical boxes in customs and looting crackhouse

havent found a single one

(customs is my best known and most played map)

[agile helm]

woods, reserve, i crafted mine

[bold kernel]

good point

i dont have lavatory yet i think, should focus on that

ive been picking up litterally everything but i geuss ive been unlucky with the right stuff

[agile helm]

its medstation, not lavatory

[bold kernel]

yeah im a bit out of it rn

9 am

[dark wyvern]

reserve, you will find salewas, morphines and gas an's in the containers by the helicopter

last scav raid i did i found 3 morphines 2 salewas and 3 gas ans

[bold kernel]

il do that my next scav

thanks

[dark wyvern]

its also like 90% safe after 20 minutes on scav to go around the helicopter and surrounding buildings

[bold kernel]

btw should i be eating in-raid or doesnt it matter?

usually i bring some food and water if im low to help level my metabolism but im not sure if it makes a difference

[dark wyvern]

you get more experience from eating in raid so your metabolism goes up faster then you dont have to eat as much

[bold kernel]

alright so just keep doing what im doing, i used to just eat and drink in stash but this should help alot long term

[dark wyvern]

yeah, and remember wipe is going to happen within the next couple weeks so dont worry about your stuff too much

[bold kernel]

im kinda using my stuff the way i would normally.
anything thats gonna help me accomplish what i want il take

i get very panicked after winning a fight tho which i really need to work on, it usually causes me to die afterwards anyway

[dark wyvern]

just practice doing tasks and fighting so you can make it further next wipe

[bold kernel]

ud think id be a bit better by now

[dark wyvern]

happens to me a lot too, granted less now but if i kill a juicer i jump the gun

how many wipes have you played

[bold kernel]

3-4 i believe but never really got far

i think highest level ive had was lvl 36?

maybe in the 40s but i doubt that

[bold kernel]

actually might be more

i started playing in 2019

so probably 6+

[dark wyvern]

thats what i got last wipe i think and im at lv 47 now

im going for 50 next wipe so i can have the telnik

[bold kernel]

nah i didnt play every wipe, like last wipe i didnt play

[dark wyvern]

fair enough

[bold kernel]

i hope to one day get the kappa containter

thanks for the tip btw, would have been stuck on this a lot longe

how can u get this key without having flea btw, i thought i had it but its the wrong one

[agile helm]

theres a spawn

[dark wyvern]

there is a dorms room that guaranteed spawns it

[agile helm]

Room 205 in 3 story

[bold kernel]

ah yeah i think i remember from past wipes, alot slipping my mind since i havent played in a while

thanks guys

[dark wyvern]

Inside of the brown jacket in room 205 of the three-story dorms building according to the wiki

[bold kernel]

wish me luck

[restive plank]

I just got the game im looking for someone to play together and teach me the game

[bold kernel]

Try #pvp-lfg lots of people looking forward to helping beginners

[bold kernel]

hello

i need hrlp please

i buy tarkov 1 year ago when i live in Russia but now i move to the united kingdom i cannot play the game how do i fix this

[red raft]

@bold kernel my friend had to buy another copy of the game

[bold kernel]

any tips for becoming a pvp chad next wipe?

[bold kernel]

oof

[bold kernel]

play game rn and learn how to fight so that when ur playing next wipe ul be used to it and ready

[fallen cargo]

@bold kernel in 1 wipe you are not gonne becom a pvp god

learn the maps first find a gun you like learn how to make monny aim for atleast 500k per houre +

and then waist your monny on pvp the more you do it the better you get

i got 5.5k houres and im decent at pvp but im stil not a god like pestily

and also find your playsyl

[broken bear]

i had a friend who bought 4 copies. 1 acc got gmail hacked by somebody in china, then they took his tarkov. 2 acc got for rmting a ton of kotton hats to meme LMFAO, and 3rd acc got banned bc he bought an acc aleady leveled up. 4th acc hes fine and well, so far. lol

all EOD btw.

[fervent ermine]

when you get a gun, it makes a stock preset of that gun but i dont want that, anyway to turn it off?

so only the presets are from what i make

[bold kernel]

killed a lvl 42 with my vss (i had less than half a mag)

[bold kernel]

he's better than me

[bold kernel]

pestily is extremely calm and collected and has insane knowledge

there are for sure better players but hes still one of the best and most entertaining players

[fervent ermine]

having knowledge doesnt make you good

[bold kernel]

hes god

good

[bold kernel]

💀 yo what

this aint cod btw

[fervent ermine]

you could know shit about the game but not know how to aim

[bold kernel]

in tarkov u dont need the greatest of aim to be great at the game, as i said this aint cod

and with knowledge comes knowing how to lead shots and what not aswell so technically knowing the game means u can aim better unless ur litterally blind and cant spot a target

[bold kernel]

bro what

[oak sedge]

hes right, tarkov is not a shooting range like cod. tarkov has tons of nuance and things that cant be taught directly. playing the game is the only way to get better, and pestily has played a lot. Anyone that knows tarkov knows pestily, and anyone that knows pestily, knows hes one of the best without being an aimbot.

[bold kernel]

sell or use?

i dunno

im lvl 10 rn btw

i prefer my AK 74M naked

i might just keep it for a quest later altough wipes coming soon anyway

just play it then

yeah il keep it for later

[cedar bay]

how much money do you have and how much does it sell for?

[bold kernel]

yes, but not rn since i wanna go do some random quests

[cedar bay]

if you are gonna save it i'd just sell

[bold kernel]

i got 1.3 mil and it sells for 140k

with all attachments btw

use it

tbh

my beloved.. i cannot wait to hold you in my hands

[carmine oxide]

You should do like me (I'm lvl 13) and spend all your money to buy guns to learn how to use them before wipe

[oak sedge]

or, dont be a chump and think guns make you good at the game, and learn the maps, angles, loot spots, so you can level up faster and get better loot next wipe

all the actually good gear you get comes from traders, so learn how to do quests as fast as possible

[tepid arrow]

^

I’d rather use a makarov and know exactly what I’m doing than run meta and not know shit about fuck

[tepid arrow]

Buy europe version I think

Or upgrade to it I mean

[bold kernel]

any1 doing signal part 1 ?

[cedar bay]

I just transferred items from scav inv to stash and they are blinking, anyone know why?

[tender cairn]

restart game

fixed it for me

[cedar bay]

now everything is gone..

wtf

[dawn geyser]

[cedar bay]

even the stuff that wasnt blinking

[mint light]

classic tarkov desync

[dawn geyser]

Restart your game and cross your fingers

[cedar bay]

still gone, rip

ffs, found some quest items as well that I needed xd

[brittle canyon]

um this is actually neoclassic

learn your genres

[cedar bay]

could have at least reset the scav delay

[bold kernel]

im tryna get to lvl 15 so i can do flea and actually get somewhere

rn im just using stuff i get off raid

[cedar bay]

same

[bold kernel]

i dont think ive really needed to buy a single gun or piece of armor (apart from ssh helmet)

[brittle canyon]

ssh is dogshit

[bold kernel]

yes but its something

[brittle canyon]

no it's worse than nothing

[bold kernel]

wait are we talking about the same helmet

the penis helmet?

[brittle canyon]

unlock toilet lv2 and craft bleach and run ratnik all day long

doesn't murder your ergo, isn't colored bright green, protects ears

hell just buying bleach off flea isn't so bad if it's less than 11000 per

[bold kernel]

damn u right

[brittle canyon]

remember that ear hitbox is visible from the front...

[carmine oxide]

Focus on missions then

[bold kernel]

werent these worth alot (atleast last time i played)

ah nvm not anymore

[bold kernel]

i am

wtf

[dawn geyser]

Looks like you're a 9mm main now.

[bold kernel]

fuck

[abstract sun]

hey yall im new to the game and i dont know wtf im doin i tried to do a a run as scav shot i think a AI and got killed but now idk how im really supposed to be doing

idk what im doing running with no head any tips

[bold kernel]

just ran into a two man, sprayed one down but the other got cover and then i got killed by him

[abstract sun]

any tips on what im supposed to be doing or not doing

[brittle canyon]

you should be doing quests
you should not be doing not doing quests

[dawn geyser]

You'll definitely want to check out beginner videos first before you dive head first

This game has no tutorial

[brittle canyon]

and written guides

[dawn geyser]

It just slaps you as soon as you boot up

[abstract sun]

yeah and i dont want to get all my shit took

[brittle canyon]

any monkey can sit in front of a webcam and talk, don't 100% trust any video unless it's from a vetted creator

[dawn geyser]

Don't 100% trust any video ever

[brittle canyon]

yea but that takes nuance

you can't expect too much from a new player

[bold kernel]

dont we all

getting over losing ur shit is extremely hard

u just need to make sure u have a net positive

[brittle canyon]

you can't have totally nothing and be stuck because you can always do scav runs

and if you actually delete everything in your stash Prapor gives you a krinkov

[bold kernel]

https://medal.tv/games/escape-from-tarkov/clips/Lj0XoSOAf8vxJ/d1337S5Lgyc0?invite=cr-MSxublEsMTA0Mjk0Nzks
any tips on how i should have approached this better?

[abstract sun]

i was doing a scav run shot a ai i think and ot capped ididnt know what i was supposed to do i just didnt want to use my person and loose stuff

[brittle canyon]

not use medal

that's a good approach

[bold kernel]

why not

[carmine oxide]

Trash gun tbh, can't burst or automatic

[bold kernel]

what

its just an ak

[carmine oxide]

The stm9

[bold kernel]

ohh

[carmine oxide]

Can only semi auto

[bold kernel]

sorry yeah, i dont like the gun at all

[tepid arrow]

If you’d like to dm me I can guide you a little bit, can’t play or call rn tho

[brittle canyon]

10 second mark full speed walking while crouched - they heard you and you're sitting there being slow
and I constantly see you leaving cover

[carmine oxide]

I like it cuz it look like an airsoft gun but it's pretty trash

[brittle canyon]

always hug cover

and at that position he's inviting you to come into his defensive position and you got jebaited hard

the area has lots of bushes so he could've been anywhere

should've disengaged and either flanked or just given up the kill and be satisfied with ruining someone's raid

also get rid of the habit of ADS firing at 3 meters distance

and run while you're in combat, reposition quickly

imo after you did the first guy you should've done an emergency reload and underhand nade throw to where they just were & after detonation immediately followup with a push

[bold kernel]

yeah thats what i was thinking after i died

i couldve heard/seen him and he couldnt have gotten the jump on me

i gave him alot of time to reposition and catch me off gaurd

[bold kernel]

if i wanted the kill i think this or a flank was good

flanking trough construction maybe

[whole thistle]

if you know theres people around be paranoid af and check every corner

even weird ones like that

[static zephyr]

just hold w best tactic

[rocky ocean]

any tips on settings if it is better to unlock fps or use gsync?

max fps in eft is 144 in options menu but it is possible to unlock the fps cap.

I am not sure if I should just keep playing on default settings / unlock fps cap or to use gsync in eft

I turned gsync on but it feels like there is input lag not sure if it placebo or not

[flint iris]

its a monitor thing

[rocky ocean]

vsync is off

[worthy topaz]

Do you guys ever have that feeling when you feel like you can’t kill anyone? Like most of my pvp fights end with me dying or running away.

[chrome nova]

some days are worse, yeah, maybe smth in the network dunno

[worthy topaz]

No nothing with my internet (if that’s what you mean) I just suck

And every time I die I sit for like 5 minutes like “damn I should’ve done that instead”

[chrome nova]

maybe you slept less that day, maybe you tired, who nows, we only people

[worthy topaz]

My sleep schedules pretty bad lol

[chrome nova]

sleep is the fucking most important thing

[worthy topaz]

I get about 6-7 hours each night

[lost frost]

thats alot

[chrome nova]

there is saying "Do you remember how you stayed up until the morning, texting someone interesting? And where are all these people now? You better sleep"

[hollow dragon]

Facts

[celest sage]

That’s just preference

[flat wagon]

Is there any list of ammo from worst to best or something like this ?

[open hedge]

Not necessarily

But there is a list of all ammo and how good it is

!wiki ballistics

[broken quail]

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

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Ballistics

Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.

[rocky ocean]

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

[jovial condor]

yes there is a website. which lists all ammo by type and by penetration and damage.

[open hedge]

Mapgenie also has a pretty decent little ammo guide

[flat wagon]

Thanks

[jovial condor]

https://tarkovammochart.com/

u can also see when ammo has no flea market. KEEP THOSE

[hollow dragon]

does 30 pen = lvl3 and 40 = lvl4 ect?

[brittle canyon]

like 90% chance to pen first shot ish

[open hedge]

Kind of

It’s a bit bizarre

I shall explain as simple as possible

35 pen has 30% against class 4

For every pen above that it goes up roughly 10%

Until 39-43 where there is basically no change

[whole thistle]

yeah pretty much

[hollow dragon]

Roughly how many bullets for bp to pen a hexgrid or slick?

[brittle canyon]

bp 762?

[hollow dragon]

yeah

[brittle canyon]

54% first shot

wait no that's lv5

1.1% first shot

slick and hex has like 7 effective dura difference so u just need to look at one

fourth shot 30%
fifth shot 92%

[hollow dragon]

So with blunt damage included youre gonna die in like 4-5 bullets

or 3 if theyre lucky

14 doensnt seem like the average ahhaa

[brittle canyon]

blunt does fuckall

if you're not 30% lucky that's 4 shots tanked

so twotap thorax means 6 shots to kill

[hollow dragon]

doesnt bp usually takes 2 to kill naked thorax but with blunt damage only 1?

[brittle canyon]

not even close

blunt is single digit usually below 5

and if a bullet pens it doesn't do blunt

[cedar bay]

is this a good dmr? just got it after killing a pmc

[brittle canyon]

are you done with rsass gunsmith

[cedar bay]

is that a task?

[brittle canyon]

yea like 6 or 8 or whatever look it up

[cedar bay]

im at gunsmith part 3

only lvl 13

[hollow dragon]

Just use it

[brittle canyon]

I mean you probably aren't getting to that before wipe so you could run it but

you need good ammo and swap the optic

[cedar bay]

I will, but i was asking if its a good dmr

[hollow dragon]

depends on ammo

[brittle canyon]

do you have pk 2

[cedar bay]

i dont have any other optic I can buy, thats 1-4x is that not good?

[brittle canyon]

get lv15

[cedar bay]

idk what that is so no

[humble otter]

I’d use it, or the parts of it… no reason to keep it for a quest this wipe

[brittle canyon]

peace lv2

[cedar bay]

no

im lvl 13

[brittle canyon]

wait actually m80 is pk 3

so unless you also looted enough good ammo from him

you can't run it

[cedar bay]

I didn't, oof

[humble otter]

You unlock peacekeeper quests by completing enough quests from skier… when you’ve competed “friend from the west” you get access to peacekeeper quests

[open hedge]

I mean pk3 is level 23

Not hard

[brittle canyon]

take both grips, stock and muzzle, sell the rest

[thin rivet]

how did you take the ss after you sent the text

[humble otter]

No reason to grind it this wipe though… just fyi

[whole thistle]

what

[hollow dragon]

Maybe a nice gentleman in LFG will bring you ammo

[thin rivet]

the ss was taken at 12:06 but you sent it at 12:05

[whole thistle]

oh lol

it just attached itself to the old text

i took it a little later

if you hover over it you can see they're different messages

[hollow dragon]

Wait do people insure with therapist or prapor?

[whole thistle]

nah they're all synced

[chrome coral]

Kinda a sad question but I was wondering if someone/people could help me complete a Jaeger quest. I need to get 3 bolt-action kills on PMCs from less than 25m away to get him to level 2, and am having a ton of trouble with it. Would someone be willing to spawn in with me and let me kill them? I can pay with some sugar or something

[whole thistle]

kill quests dont count on teammates

[chrome coral]

shit

ok thanks

[whole thistle]

time to keep going factory lol

[chrome coral]

i guess lol

[chrome nova]

you even cant cheese it coming into same server, because you cannot select servrs now

[humble otter]

Are you even allowed to drop sugar?😂

[open hedge]

Since it only vendors for like 10k probably

Won’t make any money off trading it

[bold kernel]

best armor/rig/pack for ll1 traders? i have some sitting in my stash, would like to know what i should keep/sell or buy ones from traders

have a csa rig, paca, and mbss rn

[brittle canyon]

paca doesn't do anything

no armor or lv2s you looted/already have is fine if you are light geared

[humble otter]

I was thinking of the items that’s not allowed to be dropped in raid… can’t remember if sugar was one of the items

[open hedge]

Ubey rig

Class 3

Might sometimes save you

[brittle canyon]

this is super super late wipe so if you camp fence people will dump class 3s often

[open hedge]

And the vpo136 has good stopping power and good mags if you kill some scavs beforehand

[brittle canyon]

get not-so-mangled press armor and repair it

overpriced but if you need armor in a pinch it's ok

rig anything you want or have found

bag anything you want or have found

[bold kernel]

gotcha

[brittle canyon]

sell all bags smaller than 4x4

[bold kernel]

i only have pacas rn that i got from the start

i lost or sold the rest

[whole thistle]

def use better armor you find

makes surviving way easier

[bold kernel]

is there any i can buy at ll1 or nah

i have jaeger unlocked if that helps

[whole thistle]

you can get a level 3 armor from ragman

[open hedge]

Uley rig is class 3

[whole thistle]

the tan uley rig

[whole thistle]

tagilla brain

[open hedge]

Shut

[bold kernel]

this?

[brittle canyon]

that thing's ok

[bold kernel]

i mean is that the uley rig they mentioned

[clear flume]

the LL1 trader rat rig

its solid if thats all you can get

[whole thistle]

yeah

[bold kernel]

well im no where close to being a chad anyway haha

[peak burrow]

W Rig

[clear flume]

nah
rat rig is just a general name for a dirt cheap class 4 rig

rat and chad are playstyles

[brittle canyon]

6b3tm

[peak burrow]

Ragman Level 1 gnag

[bold kernel]

oh i see

[clear flume]

so wearing it wont make you a rat

[static sandal]

I just updated my launcher and it keeps giving me this

i bought the game not to long ago but i havent played too much

[bold kernel]

also any helmets worth using at ll1?

[open hedge]

Ssh helmet can almost sometimes save you

Tbh I don’t even bother with helmets a lot of the time

[bold kernel]

gotcha

[brittle canyon]

always wear something even a balaclava

but lv2 helmets or lv3 helmets that block headsets should be sold

[bold kernel]

i usually do for sake of not looking stupid lol
also i have a hat that has armor points for some reason?
doesnt look like it would stop a bullet tho

[peak burrow]

oh, just curious, why is that?

[whole thistle]

is it the beanie

[whole thistle]

to cover your big shiny bald head

it stands out a lot

[open hedge]

Yo skin bright asf

[peak burrow]

lmfao yeah

[bold kernel]

yes

[brittle canyon]

your bald ass head says dome me

[open hedge]

I am a bear hat and half mask enjoyer

[whole thistle]

yeah thats just for a meme, it's the lowest armor class and lowest ricochet chance

[bold kernel]

oh lol

[open hedge]

Also only covers the very top of your head

Which is not where most rounds hit

[bold kernel]

should i sell it? it seems quite expensive for a hat considering i can get way more usec caps for its price

[open hedge]

I mean

It’s drippy asf

[bold kernel]

ok fair

[open hedge]

The cotton beanie is peak drip though

[whole thistle]

usec caps

[open hedge]

Bear hats and cotton beanie are peak drip

[cedar bay]

in signal part 1 mission, can i go to the antennas in any order or do I have to go in a certain order?

[open hedge]

Doesn’t matter

[cedar bay]

alright thanks

[open hedge]

Has to be in one raid though

[cedar bay]

gotten fucked by spawn and extracts 2 times now, 3rd times the charm maybe

[whole thistle]

i dont think it does anymore

[cedar bay]

i spawned tunnel and had to extract tunnel so not the greatest choices xD

[cedar bay]

it does?

[whole thistle]

i swear to jod i did it in 2

[cedar bay]

at least my progress got reset when I died after locating the first one :L

[whole thistle]

dying is different

[cedar bay]

why would i go to one then extract instead of doing both?

[open hedge]

Flamethrower when?

[whole thistle]

pvp loot and 2 dead friends

[open hedge]

Incorrect no pvp happens on shoreline

Unless you were at resort

[cedar bay]

well one of the antennas is at resort

got sniped last time, going in the middle of the night now with a makarov pistol, gonna try to be sneaky xD

[whole thistle]

😢

[cedar bay]

why are those colors so saturated

my eyes are burning xD

[whole thistle]

i grew tired of the grey

[cedar bay]

fair enough

[lost frost]

is tank helm, balaclava, and glasses drip or no drip

[open hedge]

Depends on the glasses

Gas welder protection goggles

Peak drip

[pastel current]

whats the guy fucking roaring for you can hear the shots from inside lmao

[open hedge]

Most early wipe combat ever

[whole thistle]

We had a phase where "RAAAAHHH" was peak comedy

[whole thistle]

Yes

[cedar bay]

any suggestions on doing signal part 1? keep getting demolished by players

[whole thistle]

Afk for 10 minutes when you spawn lol

[cedar bay]

aight xD

[lost frost]

wires

[open hedge]

Wires

[brisk badger]

anybody knwo where i cand efinitly find salewa medkits

[open hedge]

Customs crackden has a few spawns and woods medcamp has boxes that spawn them

[wet escarp]

i hate shortline

[fringe cobalt]

Who hates the ping changes with me?

[lost frost]

omg green

[open hedge]

What is it this time?

[crimson radish]

crafting via medstation level 1.

[fringe cobalt]

120 🤮

[open hedge]

What the fuck

[lost frost]

120 isnt bad

[fringe cobalt]

Can’t play eu and eu can’t play na

Can’t play with my friends it bad

[lost frost]

what is bad is 180

[wooden bough]

Whats a good sniper for woods not too expensive?

[fringe cobalt]

That’s what I’m saying

[lost frost]

mosin

[wooden bough]

also what type of gun should I bring to interchange or what range

[open hedge]

Mosin is terrible bruh

[lost frost]

nah

[open hedge]

Sv98 is just the better mosin

[lost frost]

more expensive though

[open hedge]

Sniper mosin and sv98 are like a 4k difference

[lost frost]

trust me. its my 1st wipe lvl20 i know more

[open hedge]

Mosin got small ass mags

Shit reload mid moa

Horrible ergo

[lost frost]

lmao mosin also eats ammo

[open hedge]

It’s worth the slightly more money for so many benefits

[lost frost]

you can infinatly reload it

[lost frost]

infinitely

[brittle canyon]

and that’s a plus?

[lost frost]

yea

800 round mag but you can only shoot 5

[open hedge]

It throws away a round every time

So you’re just literally throwing away bullets

[lost frost]

they never leave the gun on the animation tho

[open hedge]

Yes they do

[brittle canyon]

they do you don’t see it

[lost frost]

from where?

[brittle canyon]

you’re just working the bolt kinda fast so it flies out

[open hedge]

The bolt???

[lost frost]

oh never notieed ig

[open hedge]

Do you have no idea how a bolt action works

[brittle canyon]

a round is chambered and when you pull the bolt back it catches on the extractor and flies out

[lost frost]

lmao im joking around no need to be mean wires

[crimson radish]

low key - ADAR is actually pretty good.

[brittle canyon]

if you don’t want to lose a round put away the gun and drag ammo into it in the inventory

[lost frost]

i like

[brittle canyon]

as a bonus this lets you load 5+1 as opposed to only 4+1 when reloading normally

[brittle canyon]

m855 is terrible

[open hedge]

Best sniper is the sv98

[brittle canyon]

dvl>

[open hedge]

Or axmc if you like being prone for hours

[open hedge]

Objectively worse

[lost frost]

sks if you cant get good ammo for adar?

[open hedge]

It works

[crimson radish]

this is true.

[lost frost]

its not bad if you hit headshots

[open hedge]

A ulach will basically always stop it

[whole thistle]

what was that

[open hedge]

[whole thistle]

medium to short range

[open hedge]

Do you not remember Robert

[whole thistle]

i remember seeing him

[lost frost]

sure itlle stop 1 bullet but not 2

[whole thistle]

YES!!! 20 GB READY OR NOT UPDATE!!!! YIPEEE

[open hedge]

Nah shits got ass armor damage

It will stop 2

[lost frost]

ulach? reall?

dang

[open hedge]

Can’t wait for the only change to be ai can see through walls

[lost frost]

m855 sucks

[open hedge]

It has 28 pen

[whole thistle]

they added like 3 guns

[whole thistle]

(they were already in the game you just needed a mod to unlock them)

[open hedge]

Ready or not is such a letdown

It’s only fun for like 5 games

[whole thistle]

i like the part where you shoot people

60 hours

[open hedge]

It has no content no updates and no variety

[lost frost]

rdyornot is a bad tarkov

[open hedge]

They need to add the pvp mode they said they’ve been working on for the past 2 years

[whole thistle]

yes very similar games

[open hedge]

[whole thistle]

fr

[open hedge]

I mean the base game is already pvp since everyone just shoots each other

[crimson radish]

meme? lol.

[lost frost]

ik. guns, people, buildings, shooting, slightly realistic

[whole thistle]

[lost frost]

zapwag i though your pfp was a racoon

[lost frost]

idk from afar but when look closer it dog

[open hedge]

[lost frost]

[open hedge]

I always check it

[wooden bough]

I agree

[wooden bough]

I have max mastery on toz

[lost frost]

[wooden bough]

toz is a chadscav killer

just learned how broken the altyn is

picked it up off a guy and survived so many headshots

this guy with a pistol kept dumping his mag into me and did nothing im conviced that gear can make anybody get kills even peoples first time playing

[whole thistle]

i choose to not believe this

[wooden bough]

I run toz with level 6 armor

[crimson radish]

[wooden bough]

this is my meta toz build

u can snipe with slug and kill with buckshot
