beginners-assistance

[violet phoenix]

Honestly the PSO is what I prefer

But I would not slap that on your gun if you’re going customs

[misty moon]

should i just go for a kobra

[violet phoenix]

Yeah I would

Are you using an sks? Or AK?

[misty moon]

sks

[open hedge]

im terrified

[viscid obsidian]

it's just a scav

had cleared out Sanitar once thinking he was a scav

so was quite surprised when I saw his bag when I decided to grab some loot

[violet phoenix]

When using the Kobra a lot of the red dots are fuzzy and unrefined. The chevron is my favorite choice since there is a fine tip to aim with.

[cedar bay]

why cant I put the armor on?

[violet phoenix]

Your rig

[cedar bay]

?

[fathom osprey]

It's not armor, it's an armored rig

[cedar bay]

ooh

[violet phoenix]

That is an armored rig it has slots like a chest rig

[cedar bay]

lol

[violet phoenix]

Two for one

[cedar bay]

yea, thought u meant that my rig was blocking it and was confused haha, didnt notice it was both a rig and armor

[violet phoenix]

I’m sorry

[fathom osprey]

Well, it is XD

[misty moon]

how do i get the chevron

[fathom osprey]

Ctrl or alt click I think

It's in your keybinds

[misty moon]

what

[fathom osprey]

I changed mine to a mouse key so I don't remember the default

[misty moon]

ooooohhhh

i thought the chevron was a different scope lol

[fathom osprey]

Reticle

[violet phoenix]

Sorry man

[misty moon]

yes i have change reticle as i think up on scroll wheel

[fathom osprey]

Oof

[misty moon]

so is the chevron just the arrow one or

[fathom osprey]

Ok XD

[violet phoenix]

Yeah

[fathom osprey]

Yes a chevron is a ^

[misty moon]

okay sick

[violet phoenix]

You have it bound to scroll wheel?!

[misty moon]

ty guys

[fathom osprey]

Hence my oof XD

[violet phoenix]

Np mane

[violet phoenix]

I’d change that man

[misty moon]

to what

[violet phoenix]

To alt right click, or use your side mouse buttons

[misty moon]

i use side for leans

i hate q and e

[fathom osprey]

I mean I hate seeing that, but whatever works for him. Maye he never smooth crouches XD

[open hedge]

im looking for killa everywhere but cant find him

i know hes here

[violet phoenix]

Your side mouse buttons for leaning?

[misty moon]

no i do

[fathom osprey]

SIDE MOUSE FOR LEANING

[misty moon]

bro whys this so like

[violet phoenix]

Well do what works for you

[misty moon]

weird for u

[violet phoenix]

😆

[misty moon]

i use that for leaning in siege too

[fathom osprey]

I feel like I'm being forced to watch someone eat cement 😂

[marble spindle]

He’s gay

[violet phoenix]

The I’d keep it that way you’re used to it

[urban hedge]

id say woods

[fathom osprey]

Hahah I mean like I said do whatever works for you, I have some personal keybinds too. That's just.. next level

[violet phoenix]

How do you slowly lower your stance?

[urban hedge]

c+scroll

hold c and scroll

[misty moon]

yeah

[fathom osprey]

No we're asking this guy personally

[misty moon]

i do that

[fathom osprey]

Oh ok

[misty moon]

it doesnt change the reticle

bc i hold c

[fathom osprey]

Yeah I'm tracking

[violet phoenix]

Okay okay

[urban hedge]

cool

[open hedge]

we know he is here he killed someone we check an entire corner of the underground and we cannot find him

[fathom osprey]

My brain just hurts XD

[urban hedge]

but one piece is real

[violet phoenix]

I’m trying to make sure you have lost any functionality

I don’t think you have

[misty moon]

nah think i got everything

[marble spindle]

sucking off a scav

[misty moon]

what does next do>

dont have that bind

[violet phoenix]

Next?

[fathom osprey]

Change speed I think

[misty moon]

thats scroll wheel

[cedar bay]

I meant as if I had a rig with armor on and tried to put armor on, as I said I didn't notice it was a rig with armor

[fathom osprey]

Not for you anymore Xd

[misty moon]

no it still is

bc i have to aim

[fathom osprey]

Oh

[misty moon]

to change the reticle

and u cant change speed while aiming i think idk

[violet phoenix]

@misty moon I’m supremely interested now could you send your entire keybind list?

[fathom osprey]

Yeah me too XD

[violet phoenix]

You can but it’s trivial

[fathom osprey]

Yeah next is increase walk speed

[violet phoenix]

Well actually, you would have to stop aiming decrease speed, then aim. That would send two audio cues to those you are sneaking up on. As ads has a distinct sound.

[misty moon]

ill look into changing that then

didnt realise you could do it while aiming

[fathom osprey]

Ok so everything else is normal

Definitely want to set your inspect gun bind

[misty moon]

whats the default binding for these two

[fathom osprey]

Otherwise you have no way to fix malfunctions

[fathom osprey]

Next and previous, or change walk speed

[misty moon]

\

[violet phoenix]

Ctrl Rclick and alt Rclick

[fathom osprey]

Oooohhh that's what he meant

[violet phoenix]

You have to inspect the malfunction then fix

[open hedge]

@marble spindle i found him

[fathom osprey]

But don't you have to inspect the weapon to know what the malfunction is?

[misty moon]

idk i think my weapons malfunctioned like once lol

[fathom osprey]

Ope yep

[misty moon]

i bind inspect to L

[fathom osprey]

So you dropped it or died XD

[violet phoenix]

It’s not important until it happens 😆

[misty moon]

no i think i fixed it

cant remmeber how tho was a week or so ago

what is this?

[fathom osprey]

Just makes it so you can or can't talk/ hear people talk in game

[violet phoenix]

In game chat essentially

[misty moon]

what do u guys have it set as

[fathom osprey]

Don't have it bound

[violet phoenix]

I don’t have it bound

Ditto

[fathom osprey]

Why would I ever want to toggle it

[violet phoenix]

Yeah that’s a streamer bind

[misty moon]

ig someoone could be ear raping or sommet

[violet phoenix]

It’s not really a thing in Tarkov

[fathom osprey]

Rhetorical question to explain my reasoning. not being an ass

[misty moon]

yeah u never know tho

[marble spindle]

💀

[misty moon]

i set it to `

[violet phoenix]

True

[fathom osprey]

Yeah that has happened once in my eleven* months of playing

[open hedge]

my teammate killed him

[misty moon]

what should i bind to my mouse buttons?

[fathom osprey]

I have zoom, reticle, zero distance, tactical device, walk speed

[marble spindle]

Unlucky

[violet phoenix]

I have my tactical lights/lasers and scope magnification bound

[open hedge]

he instany beamed me on o slow right peek

really annoying

[fathom osprey]

But it should be whatever you use most often

[violet phoenix]

Yeah I agree

If you prefer it for lean and have a substitute just use it

[misty moon]

dont have a clue what else i would use it for other than lean

[fathom osprey]

I mainly use variable optics.

[violet phoenix]

But I suggest going into an offline raid and killing AI to make sure you are comfortable with the controls

That’s what I did. It’s trial and error.

[fathom osprey]

My mouse has four extra bindable buttons though, most people have two or none

[violet phoenix]

Yeah I’ve just got two

[violet phoenix]

Also speaking of zero

[fathom osprey]

Jess?

[violet phoenix]

@misty moon If you do zero look up what round your weapon is zeroed to

Your weapon is only zeroed to one specific round so zero is not consistent

[fathom osprey]

True

[violet phoenix]

So don’t freak out if you zero and hit a perfect shot then hit a foot low when using separate ammo

[misty moon]

idk what a zero is

[fathom osprey]

But the faster the round the less it matters. E.g. 556

[fathom osprey]

It's the distance your scope is set to deliver a bullet to (with no elevation change)

[violet phoenix]

Yeah it mostly matter for .300, .366, and 7.62x39

In terms of rifle calibers

[frosty coral]

anyone know lighthouse building 3. i was looting the ded scav and got killed my the gunner on building 2 through the wall. cry is free or wat

[violet phoenix]

I wouldn’t touch it honestly. Maybe just raise it to 100yds, I usually keep it at 50yds though since they lengthened the ballistic arc of most rounds a bit ago.

You’ll see how bad you missed your first shot and compensate quickly most of the time anyway 😆

[fathom osprey]

So if your scope is set to 50 meters, but you're trying to take a 500m shot with a slower round, and you put your cross hair on the target, the bullet will land way low. Increasing your scopes "zero" will lower the crosshair, forcing you to raise the muzzle, to compensate for the bullet drop.

(extreme example for effect)

[violet phoenix]

Yeah perfect explanation

But sadly engagement range in Tarkov is fairly close

[fathom osprey]

Thanks 😊

Usually yeah

[violet phoenix]

Even shooter born is easy enough if you use a hot round. Bullets fly quite straight 150yds and in

[fathom osprey]

Yeah honestly the MOA matters more than zero inside 200m in this game

[violet phoenix]

I agree

[misty moon]

does xp u get in offline count towards levels?

[fathom osprey]

Nope

Course not 😜

[violet phoenix]

But you gain real life exp

[fathom osprey]

Nothing you do in offline counts. In game anyway. It's good practice

[fathom osprey]

Great minds

Scav XP doesn't transfer either.

[misty moon]

yeah just wondering bc of the xp bar at the end

[violet phoenix]

How long have you been playing?

[violet phoenix]

Exactly

[fathom osprey]

Eleven months

[violet phoenix]

Nice, what about you @misty moon ?

[frigid finch]

i legit feel bad about this factory run lol

[bold kernel]

Good stuff man, Oh sheesh none of them are past level 20, maybe you got a 4 man that's new plus another, Good raid man

[frigid finch]

lol yea....thats why i feel bad...was just unfair

[open hedge]

@jaunty axle

[bold kernel]

how do i breach doors better like is it a skill or a iteam?

[open hedge]

you dont

there is like 2 doors that can be kicked

[bold kernel]

un

like the one in customs?

[open hedge]

2 on factory

and 1 in dorms

they all are completely empty

just there for the sake of it

[bold kernel]

does this one need a key than?

[open hedge]

no

[bold kernel]

that one?

[open hedge]

well you can technically break any door

but only unlocked ones open

but i honestly dont know about random shit like this

[high crescent]

??wipe

[red current]

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

[open hedge]

kind of obscure information

[open hedge]

this is the 4th time today

[high crescent]

i think it’s the 3rd actually

what r u gonna do about it

[bold kernel]

how can i tell how much ammo is in the gun is forgot the keybind

[high crescent]

shift t

is default

[bold kernel]

its still showing as ?

when i do it

[clear flume]

alt + t

[high crescent]

ooof my bad i reminded mine

got it half right tho

[clear flume]

or if youre in the inventory you have to take the mag out and go into the right click menu or use middle mouse on it

[bold kernel]

it was a shot gun so i didnt kown if i could

[clear flume]

you can do it on every gun

if it has a mag in it

/tube

and shi

[bold kernel]

oh okay

[neat nebula]

is there a guaranteed spawn for tarcone key anywhere

[whole thistle]

No

[frosty coral]

BRO WTF

[drifting jolt]

What bullets were you using?

[frosty coral]

Flechette

[drifting jolt]

Must have been tagging level 6 armor.

That's rough though... That's some real bad luck lol

[frosty coral]

yea idk

i hit him 3 times dead thorax

[neat nebula]

shotgun moment

[drifting jolt]

Flechette is specifically for hearing through armor, so it had to of been lvl6 armor.

[bold kernel]

is there anything that new players should not do or worry about to much?

Like looking at ammo after a gun fight

Or top loading

[mint light]

i just do that always

checking mag like 400 times per raid

[bold kernel]

Any thing else?

[mint light]

idk. dont worry about dying or losing gear

dont play too slow

[bold kernel]

What do u mean by slow

Like how u peak or walk/run around the map?

[mint light]

like during fight u just wanna post up

usually bad idea

[bold kernel]

So always move to a new spot when fighting?

[mint light]

yeah

shoot and scoot

[bold kernel]

Like 5 to 20 meters of moving or more?

[neat nebula]

yeah wipe is soon so dw about building up ur stash or fleshing out hideout

try and learn a map

[bold kernel]

I have been learning customs basics of the map

[cinder trail]

Can anyone help me finish delivery from the past? NAE

[mint light]

just whatever is an advantageous position. u need to know in the heat of the moment what the right spot is and u only learn that by playing and getting map knowledge

[bold kernel]

Ah okay

Thanks for the info

[mint light]

yuh

[broken bear]

did tarkov jus crash for anyone else?

my whole team crashed lmfao

[high crescent]

??wipe

[red current]

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

[split copper]

hey guys

[tough zodiac]

whats a fast way to level

[split copper]

getting frame drops on lighthouse

any way to change that?

[unreal horizon]

just how the map is

[split copper]

wow that sucks

everytime i aim downsight with a scope massive frame drops

[unreal horizon]

yup

its a boring map anyway

[split copper]

yea but i wanna play it

and you can kill rogues

and you can loot pretty well i think

is there any way i can mitigate the frame drops?

[unreal horizon]

the loot is great its just a boring map

if it has to do with ads not really

if its in general turn down lod and view distance

[split copper]

ty

[drifting jolt]

More ram and a better CPU, that's about it

[split copper]

incredibly sadge

what about increasing the page file?

[drifting jolt]

You could check in #community-support but whatever that is is above my paygrade

[abstract edge]

Yo guys, im looking for a player beginner/stuck to help with the game as i am trying to improve in teaching it to others, if interested dm me.

[thorn badge]

Is a 3070ti enough to run tarkov or do I need something stronger?

[drifting jolt]

that'll do pig, that'll do

i run 1060

You may have some frame dips on the Lighthouse map, but that's about it

a lot of people have issue with that map though

[keen fossil]

more then enough

[tepid arrow]

Bruh

[thorn badge]

I got a unused 3070ti for $500 but I forgot to check if Tarkov would run it

[urban wolf]

now tell me how u did that

i bought my 3060 ti for 700 cad

new

[drifting jolt]

Has one of the newest graphics cards, asks if a 5 year old game will run... lol

[tepid arrow]

Tasks

[thorn badge]

Hold on, aren't the 4000's out?

[keen fossil]

yes

But they are awful

like really bad

Same as the 3080

[thorn badge]

Oooh

[keen fossil]

and the plug melts

[thorn badge]

That's the big stink people were making.

[keen fossil]

yeah

[fading pumice]

Got into dorms 2 story, killed 3 scavs, how do i escape alive?

[bold kernel]

I think he’s trying to flex

[tepid arrow]

Walk to an extraction point

Extract

[bold kernel]

Escape tarkov

[fading pumice]

my fault for asking

[drifting jolt]

just be careful, and dont spend much time out in the open when getting to an extract

[keen fossil]

extract

[bold kernel]

I mean that’s what you gotta do

[drifting jolt]

@fading pumice did you make it?

[fading pumice]

yep

waited until 5 minutes left then sprinted

[drifting jolt]

good for you!

[fading pumice]

just need 3 more scav kills

[drifting jolt]

you can do it!

[mild snow]

is there any nvg i can get before PK level 3

[drifting jolt]

There's the barter from mechanic 1

[tepid arrow]

Skier lvl 2 for the nods and dovetail mount and pk 2 for the titanium mount I think

[tepid arrow]

Isn’t that a scope?

Oh nvm but those nods arnt that good imo

[zealous tendon]

Hows everyone going?

[fading pumice]

losing expensive weapons to snipers

[bold kernel]

Wait only Peacekeeper sells NVGs

Rip

[tepid arrow]

No

Skier

That’s what nods means

Night optical device shit

[nova spruce]

it mostly depends on the cpu

i got a 3600x but i need to upgrade it for decent frames

while i got a 3060ti

[pallid hemlock]

Hello so I got a couple tasks but idk how to do them like is there a site I type in a quest and tells me what to do exactly and where to find it / lets say I want to unlock workbench where do I find the bolts and screws are they a guaranteed drop ?

[agile helm]

tech crates, duffle bags

[pallid hemlock]

Those small tool boxes u mean ?

[tepid arrow]

Map genie has all the task items listed aswell as their location. But fir task items(say salewas for instance) can be found at certain spawn(medical for salewas)

[nova spruce]

best place is interchange for that stuff or customs during scav raids

[tepid arrow]

Crates are the big boxes

[hollow dragon]

reserve

[pallid hemlock]

U mean this right ?

[tepid arrow]

You can also buy the multi tool from mechanic if you didn’t know already

[nova spruce]

those are toolboxes

[tepid arrow]

That’s a toolbox

Crates are the big boxes that I posted

[nova spruce]

bro you could just search most of this stuff up on the tarkov wiki. i think it even shows you what it looks like

and that goes for the loot too

it shows what it's commonly found in

[pallid hemlock]

Kk ty guys

[tepid arrow]

No problemo

[unreal lynx]

Why does my ping keep spiking so anoying does not happen on any other game i get like 45ping and it spikes to 240 or smth like that every 2sec

[tepid arrow]

Do you have a vpn or something similar on?

[gritty stone]

can someone help me whit jeger quest?

[unreal lynx]

No

[tepid arrow]

Hmm

Not sure then

Sorry homie

[unreal lynx]

Just got blue screened just bef loading into raid KERNEL_MODE_HEAP_CORRUPTION holy sh this game is unstable

[tepid arrow]

First time I’ve heard that happen

Sounds like you’re just unlucky

Honestly

[unreal lynx]

I see bunch of people had it on game forums

[tepid arrow]

How long ago

[dawn geyser]

How much ram are you running?

[bold kernel]

i have a slick and what not and this very good Mk47 but i dont have any BP for it

[unreal lynx]

Most of them are 5 months ago

[tepid arrow]

Still good with ps

[unreal lynx]

8gb

[bold kernel]

i wanna use both but i dont really wanna waste a gun or a slick because i have horrible ammo

[tepid arrow]

That’s why

8 gb is literally the MINIMUM

[bold kernel]

fuck it

[agile helm]

thats not the games fault

[bold kernel]

when i had 16 gigs i was struggling not to crash on tarkov, upgraded to 32 gigs because of it

[tepid arrow]

I don’t recommend ever running below ps unless you know what you’re doing

[tepid arrow]

I got 12 and run the game like ass

[unreal lynx]

Have never had any issues with having only 8gb of ram in any other game what an sh show this is lmao

[bold kernel]

well id love to use BP but i dont have any traders cuz im just starting out in this wipe

[unreal lynx]

When game works i get no stutters at all

[tepid arrow]

Ain’t we all love that bp

[agile helm]

16GB is the minimum for this game

[bold kernel]

in theory amazing loadout but with PS its not that nice

[dawn geyser]

You will not run this game well with 8 Gbs.

[tepid arrow]

Is recommended

Not minimum

[dawn geyser]

That's what it says on paper

Minimum is 8 and mainly only runs Factory well

[agile helm]

thats paper

[tepid arrow]

For an enjoyable time on most maps

Or semi enjoyable time

[bold kernel]

32 gigs is probably the ideal amount for this game

[open salmon]

@unreal lynx what are you other specs

[unreal lynx]

Fixed it its fine now

Just shoot their head bro

[tawny elk]

Hey guys, stupid question, how do I put shotgun shells into a magazine while in my stash?

I'm dragging them onto the magazine, and nothing happens

[woeful spruce]

Ok so, you need to take the tube/mag off the gun and put it your stash then drag the round to it also make sure you are dragging the right caliber of shells as you might expect 20 gauge will not fit in a 12 gauge tube

[tawny elk]

Brilliant, thank you

[cedar bay]

??wipe

[red current]

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

[cedar bay]

??event

[red current]

All skills now seem to level at rapid rates. (Info will be adjusted as it is gathered)

[tawny elk]

I think it's because I was trying to do it while I was taking the gear off the Scav I just finished a run on

I'm looking to a good beginner's guide / quick start guide. Lots on Google, but all of varying quality. Could someone point me in the direction of a good one?

[woeful spruce]

Pestily has comprehensive ones, overall beginner guides as well as map specific guides. Hes probably the most popular one to watch for beginners

Keep in mind that some features were added since those videos came out so if you want to know about how anything works the wiki is a great resource and you can ask away here

[tawny elk]

Brilliant, thank you

I'm loving the community behind this game already

[severe yoke]

if you go offline on labs will a keycard be consumed?

[woeful spruce]

Nope

[severe yoke]

okey

thankjs

[woeful spruce]

Offline doeant consume any of ypur items and you dont gain any items or exp

[hearty atlas]

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

[bold kernel]

whats the best ammo for the m4a1?

[agile helm]

855a1 or 995

[bold kernel]

whats better out of m856 m855 or fmj

and since im a new player should i just top load a mag too?

[agile helm]

none, they're all bad

[bold kernel]

bruh

is any better at all?

[agile helm]

against scavs, 855 is best, against PMCs, they're all bad

[bold kernel]

and how good is 6b13 fl body armor?

is it better than paca?

[bold kernel]

its tier 4

[bold kernel]

tier 1

so pretty good

not bad

how can u tell what teir it is?

inspect it

ah

okay im learning so its alot to take in

[grim gazelle]

Anyone wanna run some?

[bold kernel]

hey should i bottom load mk255 mod 0 in the gun than put m855 on the top

cuz mk255 does more damage but less armor damage

Oh from the wiki it said it did more damage but that's good to kown

[manic plaza]

use 56

over 55 and tbh they suck if you dont have 56a1 goodluck

[bold kernel]

Yeah I'm brand new so I don't kwon what I'm doing to be honest I'm like lvl 2 or 3

[whole thistle]

2

[whole thistle]

Penetration is much more important than damage

As long as the damage is above like 45 it's fine

[cedar bay]

does charisma affect how much loyalty I get from completing quests?

and it says traders cash prices are -1900% but everything still costs the same from traders? is the -1900% a glitch?

[whole thistle]

Charisma doesn't do anything, it always shows massive price decreases

[cedar bay]

oh :L

[tawny elk]

I've looted a chest rig I'd like to sell, but I can't find a seller who will buy it. Am I doing something wrong?

[serene oriole]

Pretty sure its ragman but it has to be empty

[whole thistle]

Traders don't buy rigs with stuff inside

[tawny elk]

Ah, that's it

Jesus, inventory management is a nightmare

[whole thistle]

Love standard

[tawny elk]

Is there a way of increasing my inventory size without buying an upgraded version of the game, or upgrading the stash? (I'm level 2, it'll be a long time before I can upgrade in the game)

[whole thistle]

You can only upgrade the stash by upgrading the stash

[tawny elk]

I'm thinking containers - boxes?

[whole thistle]

You can only get the junk box at level 1

But yeah boxes are really good

[tawny elk]

Okay, so it looks like I'm stuck with a small inventory for now

I'm just trying to figure out how best to manage my inventory at this stage in the game

Should I be basically selling everything I don't need right now?

[whole thistle]

Usually no, but right now since wipe is in a few days yeah it doesn't matter

[tawny elk]

Gotcha

And how about at the start of the next wipe?

[whole thistle]

Keep everything that is used for anything

[tawny elk]

And that's basically done by googling what items are used for things?

[whole thistle]

Its way easier to do quests and hideout if you're collecting it all from the start

[whole thistle]

Yeah just check the wiki page for an item and it'll say if it's used for anything

[tawny elk]

Cool. And just sell weapon parts?

[whole thistle]

Mostly

Use whatever you can

Random like standard pieces of guns aren't even worth picking up

[tawny elk]

Rgr

[misty moon]

whats the best maopto find cans of beef stew (large)

[whole thistle]

here on interchange theres fuck tons of food

[nova sentinel]

Is it prewipe

[whole thistle]

it seems so

they dont fuck with progression this much unless it is

[bold kernel]

I like getting the barter AK74N from mechanic just need 2 trash AK74’s from fence

I feel more comfortable with rifles than anything

[analog fulcrum]

does the barter need a functional ak74 or is the receiver/main part enough?

[bold kernel]

You just need one that shoots

That means one that isn’t red

[analog fulcrum]

yeah, functional then, havent seen how much those go for on fence tho

[misty moon]

i found a can of large beef stew in raid then died with it in my stash now it says it wasnt found in raid, isthat meant to happen?

[bold kernel]

Not sure I think 12k rubles which means something like 24k rubles

[bold kernel]

Did you put it in your container

[analog fulcrum]

You mean you died with it in your secure container? If yes then yea its meant to happen, if it was in your actual bank/stash and went from FIR to nonFIR then that doesnt sound right

[misty moon]

yeah my container idk why i said stash lol

damn that sucks

[analog fulcrum]

yeah it was one of the things done to prevent hatchlings getting valuables like graphics cards and selling em to flea

[misty moon]

hatchlings?

[whole thistle]

hatchet runners

[misty moon]

ohh

what so pretty much just going in with no gear to get valuables

[whole thistle]

yeah

but then they cant sell any of it on the flea

so its worth way less

[analog fulcrum]

yeah, no risk runs, devs want you to focus on actually surviving more

[loud jetty]

when is next wipe

[whole thistle]

most likely within the week

[loud jetty]

oh wow right on time

[tawny elk]

I can't figure out how to bind things like painkillers to number keys - I've tried dragging

[elder flax]

are they in you pockets or rig?

[tawny elk]

Yes, in pockets

[elder flax]

you can hover your cursor then press the number

[tawny elk]

Figured it out - can't bind them to 1/2/3/

[slate parcel]

Whats the path in the edit preset tab to find the monstrum scope?

[woeful spruce]

i dont think i know what is the question

do you want to use the preset system to find an item?

[slate parcel]

Like when you're finding a scope to use while you edit preset

[woeful spruce]

if so just build a gun that has then cklick find parts

[slate parcel]

i can't seem to find it

What gun has it?

[bold kernel]

do you have it inspected?

[woeful spruce]

any gun with a reasonable lenght picatinny rail on top

[slate parcel]

Oh true maybe i dont

[serene oriole]

is is normal to die every single raid you go into PMC/scav ?

[slate parcel]

Nvm i do

[woeful spruce]

yes

[serene oriole]

it's every raid 😭

[woeful spruce]

at first its like that, as you learn it gets slightly better

[slate parcel]

Alright i got it

[woeful spruce]

normal to have 20% survival rate in your first wipe

[slate parcel]

Thought you needed a mount for it

[woeful spruce]

how are you dying so much on your scav? on a scav you dont shoot anyone just loot and exit

[serene oriole]

maybe no just messing around in factory will help me but saying that i died on light house (the actual light house place)and shoreline just running near gas

[serene oriole]

My raids have 30 + mintues left 💀 and then i spawn by rouge camps :(

[woeful spruce]

have you tried going scav on a map that doesnt have rogues like on literally any map other than lighthouse?

i think thats better to learn the game

you can visit lighthouse later when you have shit figured out

[serene oriole]

Oh ik my way around lighthouse and shoreline but i just die i have 3 pmc kills and like 20 scav in 40 hours XD

[woeful spruce]

i would rank those 2 maps as some of the absolute worst maps for a new player

[slate parcel]

I second that^

[serene oriole]

What other map shall i try? Other then factory

[slate parcel]

It was abysmal when i started last wipe and still is

[woeful spruce]

i would also not recomend factory its just a pvp shitshow

you can try interchange

[serene oriole]

thats why i run it a bit today so i could fight people

[woeful spruce]

customs right now has lots of pvp but i'd say its a good map

[slate parcel]

I played Customs alot when I first started playing but idk how that is rn

[serene oriole]

Maybe i could try woods or something

[woeful spruce]

woods is very good

if you avoid the sawmill area you have low chances of dying and high chances decent loot

[weary crown]

how soon can we expect the wipe

[woeful spruce]

within a week

pre wipe events have started

they are usually shortly before wipe

[wide maple]

we dont know they have started until we get 2-3 events in a row

but yes, it prolly will be in a week

[sterile minnow]

Just try to avoid lumber mill (by the lake, basically middle of the map sort of) and you'll be fine

Cus scav boss, usually a hot pvp area and SBIH enjoyers around for easy HS

[serene oriole]

I did go shack 1 time and kill something there it drop a gas an was it a normal scav but then i did get rushed and died to a ps user xd

[misty moon]

can i reloadammo into an internal mag via the container or does it have to be pockets/rig

[woeful spruce]

it has to be pockets/rig

all reloading is done in pockets rig and you can only hotkey items from your pockets/rig

[tacit cloak]

Any tips on learning extract locations?

[clear flume]

maps and offline raids

[versed valley]

Use a map and go to an offline raid

[tacit cloak]

Got it, thank you @clear flume@versed valley

[clear flume]

np gamer

have fun

[sweet oak]

In lighthouse map i couldnt extract as scav in south road landslide

why?

[keen fossil]

you might not have had that extract

[bold kernel]

can someone help with bunkhouse quest

[cedar bay]

how rare is it to find this in a raid? Not on a player, just in a box, found it like this with all attachments, never found one before in my 100 hours

[mint light]

not rly rare

just g28

[unreal horizon]

certified jaeger classic

[broken bear]

100 hours is legitimately nothing for this game

[bold kernel]

thoughts on my budget aks-74u build

[jaunty fulcrum]

does tarkov not use built in mics for laptops? i wanna voip

[bold kernel]

i just realized the foregrip im using isnt actually budget cuz its loyalty 3

i just had it lying around

[cedar bay]

well why do you think im asking in this channel? XD

its called BEGINNER assistance

[jaunty fulcrum]

i use the mic for discord but tarkov says it failed to initialization or some shit

[mint light]

the foregrip u have is loyalty 1

it also sucks

[bold kernel]

no i mean uhh

[mint light]

handguard

[bold kernel]

yeah

[bold kernel]

good ergo tho

its budget after all

[mint light]

everything at a low lvl is budget

[jaunty fulcrum]

5.45x39

[bold kernel]

yes but im asking if its decent

[remote kettle]

The default setup of that gun comes with those attachments, so every time you find one in a box itll be setup that way. That being said its decently rare

[bold kernel]

works if u can aim

[mint light]

nah

no one rly likes 5.45

[mint light]

no

is 5.45 and high recoil

not a good combo

[cedar bay]

oh damn, thats insane :D I thought it just came setup like that of chance, thanks for clearing that up

[mint light]

but if ur low lvl sure

[bold kernel]

what other choice do i have

[mint light]

idk ur lvl

[bold kernel]

i like automatic guns and it does the job

im lvl 17

[cedar bay]

I like 5.45 :L

[mint light]

low levels typically do

lol

[remote kettle]

Akm, full length 5.45

[whole thistle]

the 74u has just about the same recoil as the other 74s now

[cedar bay]

ooh wait nvm

i thought of 5.56

[mint light]

thats not the point im making

[whole thistle]

hop on the ak 101

[bold kernel]

yes thats why im using the 74u because its alot better ergo

[mint light]

zapwag just be not playing the game and then putting in on converstatioms

he didnt build the gun so it has 70 fucking recoil lmao

[whole thistle]

max be kissing me on the mouth

[bold kernel]

70 recoil is playable to me

it has a kick at first thats all

[whole thistle]

for a shitter 74 its fine

[bold kernel]

yes

[cedar bay]

cant, im not ll2 with mech yet

[bold kernel]

i know this aint a good build i just seem to be doing fine with this gun

[whole thistle]

you could use a better foregrip but assuming youre like level -3 theres not much else

[mint light]

he has flea

so like anything

[bold kernel]

is this even true

[unreal horizon]

not sure if its added yet

[versed valley]

Pp is good early wipe

[whole thistle]

oh 💀

[mint light]

early wipe for me lasts 2 days and then i have 7.62 bp

[bold kernel]

well yeah i just like the extra ergo

[unreal horizon]

but like you have m80 on day 2 so who cares

[mint light]

no need for 5.45 lol

[versed valley]

Its now locked behind granadier tho

[mint light]

its also not the meta

like bp is

[bold kernel]

unfortunately i dont have the abbility to do that

[mint light]

understandable

[bold kernel]

ive been playing for like a week daily for atleast a few hours a day and im still no where near lvl 3 traders

[mint light]

thats how it is being new

[bold kernel]

im not even that new

im 1k hours in

most of htat was before inertia and customs expansion and whatever tho

but still i know most of the quests top of my head until lvl 30

[acoustic dew]

anyone wanna play?

im not good

at the game

[bold kernel]

just cant seem to level fast enough and idk why

i mean it could be cuz its late wipe

[mint light]

just gotta no life tasks

[bold kernel]

yeah ik but i die alot cuz everyones stacked

[mint light]

so u get stacked in early wipe with them

[bold kernel]

almost everyone that has slightly better or worse gear than me loses in a fight

[mint light]

see where i be going

[mystic void]

look your dmes

[bold kernel]

yes but i meant now in late wipe, so its hard for me to actually level rn cuz everyones a pvp god while im just tryna exist

[mint light]

thats how its going to be

play in early wipe or have no fun in late wipe

[topaz nacelle]

what is the best lvl1 trader gun. i feel like my guns do no damage

[whole thistle]

play early wipe and not at all late wipe

[whole thistle]

shotguns or vpo136

[keen fossil]

sks and kedr are also good

[topaz nacelle]

thanks

[unreal horizon]

ump slaps if you can get the knives from fence

may or may not be available

[misty moon]

if i drop my insured things in a safe place but then extract will i still get the insured items back

[versed valley]

Mosin, vpo136 and shotguns

[versed valley]

Yes

But you have to wait like 1 day for insured stuff to come back

[misty moon]

yeah ik i have 0 energy and hydration so ima probs die so i just dropped them in a bush

[mossy ravine]

sks poop

anyone that can give me a b-19 for gunsmith 9 the only one on the market is like 1,500,000 or something

[fringe cobalt]

hi

[bright halo]

I have a geforce 1650, ryzen 5 2600, and 16gb of ram. What should i upgrade first?

[tacit cloak]

GPU or CPU either

[oak sphinx]

did endurance not get the 2400% buff?

[vast isle]

tarkov never maxes out any of my cores or gpu, I get around 90 fps in woods on ultra with a i7 12700k nvidia 3080 is this normal?

32gb of ram 3200 mhz

[tall thicket]

CPU.

If anything, go for the CPU.

You've got 16GB, which could be 32GB but it works.

Decent GPU.

But the real question, what's your storage looking like?

SSD or HDD?

Performance can be pretty smoothed out if you have a good foundation to back up all of it. I've been testing MIP Streaming to help out lower-spec friends be able to run Tarkov and they all have really good SSDs, but poor overall spec quality.

Although it's not a lifesaver and will give you a magic 15+ FPS, it will smooth it out.

[small fern]

What are the best guns to buy with every merchant level 1? I want to go nuts to butts so to speak

[unreal horizon]

seems fine to me

i get like 70-80 with 3060 so makes sense

[thorn badge]

I have a i9 and 3070ti. This enough for Tarkov?

[unreal horizon]

yes lol

should be nice and smooth

[thorn badge]

Baby smooth like dolphin booty?

[unreal horizon]

not familiar but i'd have to assume so lol

[idle vortex]

Damn, I've never touched a dolphin booty, but probably

[thorn badge]

I hear they are soft and buttery

Anyway off topic, I hope this GPU works out

My PC will be here in 3 hours

[unreal horizon]

oh exciting

gl

[idle vortex]

Bro, I have a 1070, and I have 60fps in medium settings, you'll be fine

[solar creek]

I get around 60-80 fps at 1440p with a 5600xt and a ryzen 5 5600x at medium, I also think you will be fine

[idle vortex]

Also what i9 is it? Coz I've heard the i9-3000 are kinda trash

[thorn badge]

PSA: do not use any type of metal tool to remove your GPU. You will scratch your motherboard

@idle vortex

It was $1000 when I bought it

[idle vortex]

Ye that shits great

You probably could run tarkov in 1440 high settings 60 fps +

[thorn badge]

My main issue is I like monitor mounts. But I can't find one that has the mount system on the back.

[tepid arrow]

Ump from pk, buy the knives from fence

Bro hearing all your hardware and frames just puts into perspective how shit my stuff is

[thorn badge]

I'm not rich, I just have financial literacy. If you're smart with your money you can afford anything

[tepid arrow]

Go buy a megayacht then or sumn

[mint light]

hmm

My folks literally can’t even afford food and we gotta just skip days of food to ration cause how high rent is all around us

which map has the most morphine spawns?

[whole thistle]

customs and woods have a ton that are easy to get to

shoreline and labs are probably the most but those arent very accessible

[bold kernel]

customs I only know of crackhouse that has 2 spawns

[whole thistle]

crackhouse has way more than 2 spawns

thanks

anyone need any help? just bored till wipe lol

Hello, are there any sherpas from Asia who can help me with raids?

[tepid arrow]

Doesn’t even take the same knives :c

[lament acorn]

I'm a fairly new player, recently bought the game 3 days ago

and I'm constantly getting picked off by PMC's lol

[lament acorn]

why?

is the MP5 not worth it?

[manic plaza]

thats gonnna happen just try and play alot now for when wipe happens you wont be so far behind

[lament acorn]

I know, but at least someone can show me the ropes

[urban wolf]

i see no one run the vss or asval

[unreal horizon]

supply is like 200

[daring stag]

If I want better performance in Tarkov, should I upgrade my cpu or gpu? Im told its a cpu heavy game

[manic plaza]

what region are you

[lament acorn]

Asia

[manic plaza]

nvm cant help you im nae

[urban wolf]

what do u have right now for your gpu and cpu

[daring stag]

i9-10900k and 3060ti

[thorn badge]

laughs in 3070ti

[unreal horizon]

thats an optimization issue the hardware's fine

[thorn badge]

I build computers but I super study stuff I theoretically already know about anytime I poke around any computer. GPU & CPU "heavy" games usually can be a simple settings issue. Rarely does someone have a PC that's runs everything at ultra max graphics for very long. Unless you have money to drop on newest parts every 6-12 months

[wispy wedge]

WHAT IS THE BUNKER HERMATIC DOOR ON RESERVE

I HEAR AN ALARM VERY CLOSE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NEAR ME

WHAT DO I DO

[tepid arrow]

It’s the things that lead into the bunker

Like in a ship’s hull but big

[wispy wedge]

but what do i do????????

[tepid arrow]

Oh wait

[wispy wedge]

do i leave????

[tepid arrow]

No the door you’re talking about is an extract

[dull mulch]

Hey I recently fixed my pc and now the in game audio isnt working

[tepid arrow]

Are you ready to leave?

And do you know how to?

[dull mulch]

outside the game is fine but tarkov isn't making any sound

[wispy wedge]

i just dont wanna die

[tepid arrow]

Don’t worry about dying honestly

You have unlimited lives

Ofc it’s better to not die

Do you want to hop in call and I’ll guide you out?

[wispy wedge]

nonono

it stoped

[tepid arrow]

That’s because the exit isn’t powered anymore

You need to repower it or do a different exit

[wispy wedge]

ok

i found this weird horse figuriens

do i keep them

[tepid arrow]

Not yet

They’re not very valuable

Actually no scratch that

You don’t have anything better rn

So you can keep them

Sorry my b

[wispy wedge]

ok im at this parking lot with a helicopter

underneath this little building

[tepid arrow]

Be careful out in the open

[wispy wedge]

i found a dead scav

[tepid arrow]

Is it a npc or a loot scav?

[wispy wedge]

OH CARP THERES SHOOTING OUTSIDE

[tepid arrow]

You can tell the difference by if it has spots for a gun, backpack, and rig

If it’s not at you calm down

Just don’t make noise and stay out of the open

[wispy wedge]

no but it is right outside

i hear steps

[tepid arrow]

Then stay inside

Press caps lock to go really quiet and slow

[wispy wedge]

oookokokok

[tepid arrow]

Or use your scroll wheel

[wispy wedge]

i hear a train?

[tepid arrow]

That’s the armoured train

Also an extract

[wispy wedge]

ooh yeah i see it

ok how do i get out

idk where the extracts are

[tepid arrow]

You can either take that, bunker hermetic door, or d2

The train is the easiest extract for you rn

If you have a phone go onto map genie tarkov

It’s an app

[unreal horizon]

just alt tab lmao

[wispy wedge]

I EXTRACTED AT CHECKPOINT FENCE

YEEES

2 MINUTES LEFT THANK TUTORIAL VIDS

[tepid arrow]

Oh you were a scav

[wispy wedge]

yeah but i had a lot of stuff

im still pretty crap at the game

[tepid arrow]

Long as your having fun
