what map should i learn after customs?

open hedge

#

Interchange is often recommended for beginners as it's layout isn't super complicated and there are a lot of places you can hide

open hedge
#

I will find all the people hiding on interchange

#

I’m am the interchange rat hunter

#

One cannot hide from someone who knows all the spots

What

brazen mango
#

what would happen if i buy edge of darkness from standard mid wipe. like if i bought it right now, with stuff in my stash

open hedge
#

It would just give you the stuff

#

Doesn’t need to reset

regal plover
#

You would upgrade fine. A message would come from Prapor with the new goodies

#

Stash would increase in size

brazen mango
#

ahh i see thanks

open hedge
#

Thought it was a system message? Well I did it like 2 years ago they prolly changed it

#

Interchange was my first map to master personally

#

But that was back before flea bans

regal plover
#

Customs was my first map, but then again when I started playing there were only 3 maps....

I started in the peak of 12.11

#

why is the mp7 so trash on mid range

open hedge
#

I get like 40m kills a lot with it tho

bold kernel
#

ump is smg too and i don't have issues with it

open hedge
bold kernel
#

how? what kinda mods

open hedge
#

Ump is like

#

Low rof

open hedge
#

It’s not ideal

#

But it can work

#

Mp7 is one of my main guns

bold kernel
#

i feel like you almost have to run into pmcs to kill them

#

or go factory

open hedge
#

I use it on shoreline and customs with a lot of success

bold kernel
#

i just went into reserve and 2 pmcs were not that far away and a full mag didn't even kill them

#

i couldn't push becaues it was open space

open hedge
#

You definitely jus like missed

#

But reserve sucks

#

So

bold kernel
#

i feel like the recoil is worse than stock akm

open hedge
#

Reserve is just massive shit above ground with somewhat good underground

open hedge
sterile minnow
#

Send 762 guns instead, wont have a range issue

open hedge
#

Use like

#

A rifle for reserve

#

Unless you’re going bunker

#

But mp7 works just fine

bold kernel
#

i was gonna go bunker yeah

#

do you have a clip of the 40m kills?

open hedge
#

Somewhere buried yes

#

Not on my pc right now

#

I’m at school

bold kernel
#

send them to me in dm later

#

i guess i just don't know how to spray it

open hedge
#

I mostly main high recoil weapons

#

So recoil I barely notice most of the time

#

But generally smgs are not for mid range

#

And do not work well

PMC is your player. You can bring whatever you want in but if you die you will also lose everything you brought in

#

Scav spawns you into the raid as a scav which are the AI in the game and it gives you a randomized loadout

#

Low risk but also lower reward because as a scav you spawn into the raid later than PMC's

#

Oh wait you were asking because you had a thermal

#

I'm stupid

is there a way to fix the bitchass connection failure with cross servers or shit
my friend is from united states and im from northern europe, if i join his server, i can join a match but the moment im about to start shooting, the server kicks me out even if i only have 120 ping

The official date of the next wipe is not yet announced, however it is near!

bold kernel

#

does that quease their fiery rage?

bold kernel
#

Yes

#

For that raid don’t shoot scavs unless they killed someone

drifting jolt
#

They wont agro IF you kill a player scav who has shot another AI/player scav

formal mauve
#

Good youtuber to watch for a beginner?

neat nebula
drifting jolt
neat nebula

which kinda sucks

#

but if they shoot you, then AI wont shoot you back after that

So if you see a player scav kill an AI

#

you kill them without the agro penalty

no no

#

rengawr is literally a god

#

you wont max traders in 4 days as a beginner...

#

you wont even do it in double that time

#

It's best to watch someone who isnt god tier

bold kernel
#

Obviously not 4 days he means 96 hours what you can learn is what items you need and what items you don’t

drifting jolt
#

Pestily is great, but he's not as good as Lvndmark (fuck that guy) and Rengawr

bold kernel
#

Need

drifting jolt
#

Pestily is a sweetheart

bold kernel
#

Meh

#

Rengawr is based

drifting jolt
#

@formal mauve He's referring to this set of videos, but he's really good, so dont think youll level up as fast as this guy

formal mauve
#

So main things i need to focus on are going to be 1 knowing what loot i should prioritize, for base building so i can be as prepped as i can, 2 map and exits knowledge, 3 how to acquire good guns and armor. Which im sure a lot of this comes with just playing

drifting jolt
#

2- map knowledge is probably the #1 thing you need to prioritize

#

3- Getting good guns and armor is by leveling traders AND unlocking flea market at lvl15

#

Level 1 traders dont have many good options...

bold kernel
drifting jolt
#

i mean, kinda sorta... knowing the map helps a lot when youre trying to lose the enemy (retreating)

#

and also helps you prioritize where youre going for loot

formal mauve
#

And does each trader have like a special?

bold kernel
#

Only peacekeeper imo

drifting jolt
#

@formal mauve click on any traders... look top right... that set of 3 numbers

bold kernel
#

He sells western shit

#

That’s it

drifting jolt
#

1- player level, 2- is reputation with that trader (leveled by completing their quests), and 3- is your combined buy/sell total with that trader

formal mauve
#

I mean like. Therapist is meds. Fence does a lot of scav shit. Ragman for gear, mechanic for special guns

bold kernel
open hedge
#

mechanic is for selling to and buying attachments

drifting jolt
#

@formal mauve Each trader sells different shit, but there is some overlap with traders

open hedge
#

mechanics guns are mid

drifting jolt
#

DO NOT SELL TO FENCE unless no one else will buy it

formal mauve
#

For me starting off they decent lol

drifting jolt
#

Fence sells only things people sell him

#

and he usually charges too much for the shit

formal mauve
#

And only things I sell to fence be the shitty scav weapons i dont want lol

drifting jolt
#

You level your reputation with him by being a nice scav and not killing shit youre not supposed to

drifting jolt
bold kernel
#

Also fuck jaeger

drifting jolt
#

so yes, sell Fence shitty low dura scav guns

formal mauve
#

Tbh i didnt care about my fence rep for the longest and would kill scavs when i was a scav just cause

drifting jolt
#

your best options at level 1 traders is the Mosin (bolt action rifle) and the SKS

formal mauve
#

I be usin the sks quite a bit. And shotguns lol

drifting jolt
#

both sold by prapor

formal mauve
#

I dont mind the adar either tbh

drifting jolt
#

@formal mauve shotguns are amazing in Tarkov...

#

i fucking loive shotguns lol

drifting jolt

it's just a semi-auto M4

VPO 209 my beloved

drifting jolt
#

@bold kernel That gun is trash unfortunately

#

there's only 1 good ammo, and even that round has shitty accuracy

drifting jolt
bold kernel
#

Sure it’s shit for sniping

#

But good for close range literally the ammo is strong af

#

Can be modded like an AK

#

It’s fine

drifting jolt
#

I said it has one good ammo

#

and that it's not great for accuracy, youre just repeating what I said lol

bold kernel
#

I mean it’s a shotgun irl

wide maple
#

However the accuracy penalty isn't noticeable imo

drifting jolt
#

the accuracy penalty is noticeable for anything 75+ meters

#

you can whiff headshots on still targets at that range

open hedge
#

furthest headshot possible with ap is like 120m

#

even that is super hard

#

slow bullet

#

bad accuracy

wide maple
#

Let's be honest you're not hitting headshots beyond 75m unless you are using 7.62x51 or larger

open hedge
#

this is just literally wrong

wide maple
#

m855a1 can't even one shot headshot at that distance

open hedge
#

???????

#

yes it can

wide maple
#

go look at the ammo chart

drifting jolt
open hedge
#

why does the wiki not have this

drifting jolt
#

Every 5.56 bullet has at least a 325 meter effective range

open hedge
#

m855a1 can 1 tap head up to 300 meters

#

like come on divorex

#

you cannot be this wrong

drifting jolt
#

for realz

wide maple
#

nvm it looks like they buffed 5.56

open hedge
#

they changed all range stats like literally 4 months ago

wide maple
#

yeah and i haven't played in longer than that

open hedge
#

fun fact

#

ss190 has better headshot range than 762x39 mai ap

#

this game is goofy

wide maple
#

a lot of people forget that 5.7x28 is basically a rifle round

open hedge
#

no im aware

#

but its a shit rifle round

wide maple
#

7.62 actually has a much slower bullet velocity

#

it's also just a heavier and less aerodynamic round

drifting jolt
#

do we really care though?

#

lol

wide maple
#

i care

#

just bc you dont doesnt mean you have to be a dick

open hedge
#

i mean 762 is like textbook definition shit bullet

#

still doesnt make 5.7 good

#

5.7 is pretty mediocre

#

only thing it gets bonus points for is being able to pack tons in small mags

wide maple
#

i wouldnt say so

drifting jolt
open hedge
#

most of this chat is useless info

wide maple
#

and you are doing the same complaining

#

there is a reason why 7.62x39 is such a popular round

#

Russia and China use it although I think China is switch to a different caliber

#

similar tho

open hedge
#

762 is popular because cheap

#

its still super ass

wide maple
#

Realistically you aren't going to be hitting shots that far where you'll notice the travel distance and bullet velocity

#

bc most the time you are using iron sights

#

The important part is that it can penetrate armor

open hedge
#

I know a guy who worked counter terrorism back in the middle east and he absorbed 5 762x39s to his NIJ 4

#

that ammo is shit

#

5 shots and none got through

#

not to say i want him to have died

#

just a benchmark for how shit that ammo is

wide maple
#

5.56 is better in almost everyway but 7.62 still will cause more damage if it hits a target

drifting jolt
drifting jolt

wide maple
#

True

open hedge
#

545 and 556 stay on top of food chain

wide maple
#

Which reminds me, why is 5.56 so weak in Tarkov

open hedge
#

545 and 556 are mid in tarkov

#

556 is usable

drifting jolt
#

like my pp

open hedge
#

but 545 which is nigh identical to 556 irl

#

is so bad

wide maple
#

I understand its for balancing purposes but at least make the M4 and HK a bit more usable

open hedge
#

they need to toss 4 damage onto all 545 rounds above BT

#

that would make them good

#

at least good enough to use

wide maple
#

Idk what they were thinking with PP and BP gs

#

They made PP as good as BP

open hedge
#

this was BS against gzhel

#

and it still took all that

stiff fractal
#

Me when 55a1 takes 55 hits to kill 5 pmcs and 2 scavs

open hedge
#

yeah these nerfs are insanity

#

556 is still vaible

#

at least

#

but 545

#

i only killed him because his gun jammed

#

thats how bad it is

stiff fractal
#

556 is fire rate carried. Im an ak 101 hater now. Too slow and 30 rounds is not enough for 1 guy

open hedge
#

i love ak 101 as a head beamer as it doesnt have any noticeable recoil

#

scar is better for mag size though

wide maple
#

Scar is a literal laser beam

It's so fun to use

How do people take the losses so well? I just had a great scav raid until i shot a scav sniper then died. How do you get over that?

no, i lost a lot of fence rep though

Any good (or not so bad) map for begginers?

There's wooded and urban environments

But there's no map that's considered 'easy'

#

@worthy atlas Although this is a great run if youre looking to avoid PvP and make some money

#

However, you wont really get much PvP, and you kinda need to get into the occasional gunfight so youre learning mechanics

#

on average youll only run into another person outside the mall once or twice out of every 5 raids you do

#

if that

#

But that run is easy money

If you have high enough fence rep they spawn relatively frequently on your player scav

5.56 in general is just in an awkward place rn with 7.62 meta

Like the RD-704 and the Mutant which are cheaper to mod than the M4 and are both great at CQB and range

mint light
#

shut up

Even an MP7 with FMJ SX or a P90 with SS190 is better imo than the M4

#

BP is just an all around better round than 5.56

#

Not to mention the recoil is so much better

#

Don't get me wrong I love 5.56 and the M4 but it's just so sad to see how bad it's become

outer prairie
#

one thing im curious abt is why does everyone say 5.45 is bad

#

ppbs and bs seem really good

wide maple
#

5.45 has low damage and low pen

#

PPBS and BS can't even one shot headshot a scav

#

It's that low damage

outer prairie
#

ohh ok, thought bs pen looked good but the dmg prolly lacks

#

damnnn ok

robust robin
#

Pp is nice for early builds though

wide maple
#

low fire rate, low pen, low damage, slow bullet velocity, high damage drop off

#

Early wipe PP and BP are great but once people start wearing level 4 and 5 armor it's useless

outer prairie
#

might even end up useless early wipe bc rogue gear

#

and if they add a rogue style bear faction to streets

#

even more high tier gear available almost immediately

wide maple
#

As you can see PPBS, the only round capable of penning level 6 armor for late wipe, can't even one shot headshot at 100m

#

That's how useless it is

outer prairie
#

damnnn so ig ill just hoard any actual good ammo for when i have to use an aks-74u for punisher

#

id still load up an ak74 i found early on with pp to use, but if i find bs that stuff is gonna get saved

wide maple
#

Not to mention it won't pen level 6 armor beyond 100m

outer prairie
#

that’s sad

robust robin
#

I wouldnt even use bs if you want to focus scav kills

wide maple
#

Even BS can't pen level 5 armor at 100m it's so shit

outer prairie
#

mostly meant so i wasnt completely defenseless against other players, since id get it done passively while doing some customs quests

wide maple
#

5.45 wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that 5.45 has such a low fire rate

#

This is m855a1 vs BP gzh

#

You can see just how much better BP is

It doesn’t really matter if you miss a day or 2

wide maple
#

no, you def miss a lot

depends how hard you wanna grind

I usually make it to level 15 the first day

vague solstice
#

You just focus on quests?

wide maple
#

Yup

#

I want to get max traders as quickly as I can so I can get ahead of everyone else

#

Unlocking the Korund barter at Prapor ll3 basically means no one can kill you

#

No one can pen level 5 armor

I don’t even grind anymore

wide maple
#

That is my definition of fun

#

I like to grind

vague solstice
#

For me personally, Tarkov is only fun with friends

wide maple
#

I progress so I can enjoy PvP without having to worry about not being able to purchase what I want

vague solstice
#

If you did have to worry, would that not make the stakes higher?

open hedge
#

Early wipe pvp is peak pvp

#

Late wipe pvp is still ok

wide maple
#

I'm def not bad at PvP I don't think

#

This was from when I stopped playing earlier this wipe

open hedge
#

100 raids and level 36

#

Bruh do you jus like

#

Only quest

#

No looting

vague solstice
#

LOL

wide maple
#

Do you see how many kills I have tho

#

I'm obviously not avoiding PvP

open hedge
#

Yes but that’s like normal (for me at least)

#

Like 1 or 2 per raid isn’t that hard

#

But like

#

That leveling focus seems so boring

#

Most players in this game have like .5-.9don’t they?

#

Id consider 1.0 or above above average in this game

wide maple
#

Def not lmao

open hedge
#

Most people in this game are very bad a pvp

wide maple
#

Average players are def below 1 KD

tender cairn
#

i’m not average!!!

edgy plover
#

You're forgetting about players who die to scavs

#

so average is a good bit below 1

open hedge
#

Average means the most common basically

#

And most players

#

Are below 1

wide maple
#

Yes, I focus on quests a lot but once I get max traders I strictly PvP

open hedge
#

You say it’s basic maths but provide no proof

#

Big smarts

wide maple
#

I just never did the PvP aspect bc this wipe was boring imo

#

New to the game. Do you waste ammo practicing in offline mode or is that replenished after the session?

zinc forum
#

Any advice for "telling" Killa apart from scavs from range on inter? Is his voice lines diff, or just need to recognize the helm? (Died in the back a few times as scav - thought there was a traitor or pmc near...)

wide maple
tender cairn
edgy plover
#

Yea, the average is mathematically 1 if you only compare all PMC kills to the amount of times PMC's have killed anyone. But if you compare total PMC kills to total deaths mathematically it has to be less than 1

tender cairn
#

if you hear a ton of running after a scav call out it’s him

zinc forum
#

Nah he does very very angry scav sometimes...i didnt heed his warning :p

#

Ty cybr!

wide maple
#

I can tell you as someone who sherpas beginners, the average i've seen among everyone I've helped was around .5-1.5KD overall between scavs and PMC's

#

Most people were towards the lower end of that range tho

open hedge
#

Prove it

wide maple
#

the median is useful for analyzing statistics such as KD because outliers on the lower and upper ranges can skew the results when using the mean

#

I don't think the PMC KDA is 1 but the overall KD is

zinc forum
#

So are the only ppl w 'unique' voices raiders (english)? (And obviously pmcs can RU or Eng?) Still trying to figure out guards vs scavs. Ran into reshalla and knight a few times

open hedge
#

Killa and tagilla get new lines next wipe

zinc forum
#

Knight completely fucked my mind. Thought he was a player messin w us spamming voice til he was just standing outside of med like a madman

wide maple
#

birdeye is the scariest

#

doesnt make any sound, keeps a long distance, and hides while shooting at you suppressed

zinc forum
#

Yeah. Our last of 3 got ded by bird trying to run lol

#

Yessir. I was like...hes just standing there...wtf? Hs.

edgy plover
#

all PMC kills/all PMC caused deaths, but I think that's what you meant

zinc forum
#

Ty for the tips boys. Hard to find "current" info when some was written sometime between 17 and now. And the boss pages i find are detailed enough but feel like there is more "knowledge" to have still. ❤️

"Hell is other people" who wrote that?

open hedge
#

@zinc night you can test where it will shoot at neutral zero with a laser if you can get one on

#

Then you can just remember where it shoots

#

Because lasers are accurately zerod

zinc night
#

You cannot attach a laser to a Mosin though.

last umbra
zinc night
#

and as far as im aware, the PU scope is only for the mosin

open hedge
#

Yeah

#

But uh

zinc night
#

unless there is some mount i didnt know existed

open hedge
#

For future reference

#

Mosin bad just use sv98

Or get like a good scope

or just use any of the lapua weapons

I have the same question essentially. What guns do the traders sell that also fit a optic sold by traders? preferably not bartering if possible?

What optic though?

kobra

#

10k

last umbra

right

Anything past 1x?

50k per gun if u buy a mag aswell

yeah there is

Does the PSO work?

misty moon
#

theres a sniper scope i think

last umbra
#

I'll have a look after dis raid

misty moon
#

yes

pretty much all of them. AK platform rifles can fit the bastion dust cover, and in turn any picatinny sight. jaegers SKS has a dovetail for the dovetail kobra and the PSO etc

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Performance modifiers are weapon and equipment stats that affect how your character interacts with their equipment and the world.

Ergonomics

Ergonomics affects three different things:
• The speed that the player aims down their sights.
• The volume of the character aiming down their sights.
• The speed that stamina drains at while aiming down sights.

also reduces ads sound (useful)

You could save it and just take a light set to learn the map a little if you wanted

so its pretty tough

I think it’s Big Pipe, Birdeye, and Knight. Yeah there are a lot, but it makes it exciting right?

Is there someone that can guide me through the game i am a new player and playing EU west trying to get to know the basics

violet phoenix
#

If I was EU I definitely would. If you have any questions though I can answer most.

hearty atlas
#

What is the best map to learn now before wipe?

violet phoenix
#

I’d say you would benefit most from learning the basics of the health and looting system so maybe factory.

#

Although you will lose gear quickly unless you win. It is a sure fire way to learn the game’s systems quickly though.

#

Other than that I would say customs

broken bear
#

pipe pipe is the easiest imo

#

ez gl40s

violet phoenix
#

That’s how the game usually progresses in terms of early quests so those maps are essential to learn

hearty atlas
violet phoenix
# hearty atlas I see i will try to learn it in that order

I’d recommend you to open a reference map on your phone then load into an offline raid to learn the map with aid. Just walk through the map from left to right (or right to left, top to bottom etc.) keeping track of key features. Then try and navigate without aid to a landmark, or where you spawned after you’ve done that once or twice.

hearty atlas
#

Yeah i that is pretty smart i will open it to my other screen to see where i am and how to go

#

Thank you 🙂

violet phoenix
# hearty atlas Thank you 🙂

No problem! Do not get discouraged, this game was overwhelming for everyone at some point. The maps become second nature in time. I only figured things out fully after my first full wipe start to finish, as many others did. Good luck friend!

it lasts for certain ammount of time then i have to get another?

yes, it drains when power is on, with solar you double the usage time

you can stash a couple in the slot and those increase while you upgrade generator

You can upgrade capacity as well

is propane a fuel? i always find that never take it tho
