You’ll just have to wait I guess, there’s no known way to get over there yet
oof
There is still speculation we will get access to the lighthouse later in the quest line didn't a streamer already confirm this?
Room had bleak loot last wipe anyway... sell the key for profit lol
Unless you get that thingy. But that was still a bug so they might hot fix it soon
is scavs broken? I cant get into a game and I have been in que for over 40mins, first 25mins custom and now 18mins lighthouse
What region are you in?
should i repair and use this armour
i need something better than a PACA
if anything is below like 30% of its og hp, i dont use it anymore. id repair that and use it
any idea where i can find high volume of medical items
i just need multivitamins and salewas
med camp on woods. crackhouse or stronghold on customs for early wipe since a lot of quests are on those maps
customs it is
skeleton also has some crates
reserve
where do i sell inteligence
use your t4 armour
6813fl
it's heavy as hell and i wanna level up endurance for now
alr
Scavs is so fun, nice gameplay, chill, i love this Escape from menu patch
anyone mind guiding me through a good loot run just got the game super new
Try to invite someone before queuing and then queue instantly after inviting
Works every time for me
Thanks i will try this
went in with a gun and had full backpack of quest items and full modded ak and like aug but then im going to extract and i hit the scav 5 times in the head and he just one tapped me
Look up mapgenie (webside), and filter hidden stash/barrels… then run from one to another
How many minute should i wait with this manipulation ?
I just invite them and kick them out og the group… that also works
I invited then instantly tag, but i'm 6min queuing and still no matching
What servers you play on? Auto or a specific region?
EUR
Auto Europe or specific ones selected?
euhh
You can check in launcher
not if the game is launch, let me quit it
nvm i think i could've check lol, Auto EUR
You can open the launcher even if the game is running, I just don’t think you’re allowed to do any changes to settings
how do you slow lean?
Try a couple of scav raids with a few of them selected… like 2-3 based of where you live and try… I’m not saying it’s gonna work the 1st time. Or 2nd… but it’s worth a try
Cntr a?
i love lean
So like this ?
and i should waited an other scav to accept my invitation before kicking him and queuing ?
And ofc do the scav invite thingy as well
Yes he needs to accept it and then you can kick him
ok
its still normal lean, idk
alt-a and alt-d
it does sidestep
Hey, I'd need to talk to someone about DNS Lite and all that IPv4/6 issue. If anyone knows about it join me in chit chat 3
ah alt-d works for some reason
im german btw and i got connection issues a ton
Normal lean should be q and e
I said A or D didn’t I?
are scavs attracted to torches at night
No
Actually don’t that for granted because they’ve actually done quite a few changes to them this wipe, but they didn’t used to
Customs is known for chokepoints, try to design yourself a route. Stick to it, if it fails 3 times in a row, change it. This makes the approach to learning the player traffic a little more systematic and less annoying
Hey guys. How do I use an extract if it’s red. Bridge V-ex, here now but can’t extract?
Are you Sprinting everywhere?
Sound is a killer in this game, more so when solo
if walking on grass makes 1 sound, and walking on Cemement 2 sound and walking on Metal 4 sound, Running Times 3's all sound - so think about that.
Now add in head phones....
How many times can I do the fence quest to get 1.0 rep back when I’m -1.0 rep? Santa is KILLING ME. Can I do the quest multiple times or only once per wipe?
if you are running and people are walking with headphone you just announced 'guy coming up with loot, be ready to shoot'
Stop killing Santa, lol.
You can't if it's red, someone took it already. Car extract can only be used once.
It’s tough on night maps sometimes. Do you know the answer?
o/ seikosha
I don't but even if you can't, there are tons of ways to generate scav rep
o/
Focus on taking Joint extracts as much as possible.
(Woods, Lighthouse, Inner change, reserve)
Car exfills as well
Yea, car's are easy and honestly any time you run a map with a car, you should have the money in gamma\alpha to take said vehical
easiest place to find a 60rnd 5.45 mag? I've been killing hella scavs none of em have 1
ZB14 in woods, but even that place is slow, I recommend farming KEK tape from filing cabnits and tool area's and using LAbvatory 2 to craft them.
Lavatory craft or ZB-014 on woods has a spawn behind the locked gate
Raiders also have them if you are lucky\brave
You can craft them at lavatory 2 or loot zb014 on woods ot hunt raiders on reserve
how do you convince a player not to kill you tho
Zb14 on woods or craft it in hideout (lavatory lvl 2)
Force them into submission
Or be nice
Voip… and yes it’s risky as f***
80% of people will opportunity kill u
As a PMC what I normally do is ambush them or talk to them over VOIP through a wall (this has to be a player scav) I make them lower there weapon and reward them with a bit of loot for cooperating.
It helps I have a squad normally, so we have over whelming firepower, but it's not required.
What is very important is - this is not a negotiation, if they don't want to lower there weapon they die
The ambush being 'dont turn around I am not going to kill you, but lower your weapon.
sometimes, they try to kill you immediatelly, sometimes they try to go along and then try to kill you
Never turn your back to them
most the time, if they walk back they cooperate.
yes, always keep them in your sight and under your control
Tell them to take their knofe out
only time my back is to them, is when my squad has 3 guns on him
hmmm in that case I would tell them to drop their weapons on the ground
And swing it before u ser them
No.
don't do that, let them keep there weapon
it makes them feel safe, and like you arent going to kill them and gets them loot.
youll get way less cooperation if you make them drop there weapon
I only do that if there is 2-3 of them, and that's rare.
Tell them to take there knife out and swing it brfore u show urself - if u hear it the swing ur chilling
Most player scavs - specially on innerchange and reserve, want to take the joint extract
its easy rep for them too and more loot
Lighthouse and woods are way lower.
Yr lvl 24 already tf
Bro il not even at flea
I am also broke but getting intel 2 😉
As long as your having fun , still plenty of people lower then you.
Most people rn seem to be around 10
same
I assure you, my fancy gun and level 4 (hopefully soon 5) armor, still goes to the ground due to scav buckshot or double tap PS, same as yours.
Lmao. Scavs broken this wipe. I wiped three lvl 30+ yesterday. Then died 2 a 2 man on streets. Hella good map
U played any
Hi guys. So, im totally new to Tarkov, im currently level 5 and ive got an issue, idk if its common, the thing is that when i shoot with any weapon it gets laggy and unplayable, so... Any solution?
Turn off binaural audio, to start
I have 16 gb of ram and a 6600 Radeon for graphics card btw
(when it gets unbugged turn it back on)
Will do, thanks
Then go try.
What do I need minimum not to be tagged and cursed
Already did it and it doesn't work XD
Start turning settings down then.
untill you find the problem.
put it on an SSD if you can (the game installation)
Is there any major difference between Bear and USEC?
Already on very low and its installed in a SSD
So does it really matter what side I pick?
USEC has a slight advantage on one map
but if you really like bear, you can pick them
I dont really know what's wrong 
Ok thanks
your CPU is what
Is there anywhere I can find like high tier guns? Anytime I open a weapon crate it’s a basic ass AK or a pistol
So Ducky, on the lighthouse map, there is a faction of Ai scav enemies called rogues, and they are supposed to be like ex usec soldiers in the lore. So if you’re usec, they won’t shoot you on sight unless you get too close to their camp, if you’re bear they shoot on sight. Not a huge deal but a slight advantage.
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
you got a windows page file?
What's that?
You’re not gonna likely find much in the way of “high tier”, but you can find some decent guns. You can also barter for some decent guns w level one traders if you search for the barter items you need. Remember, the ammo you use is wayyyy more important in tarkov than the gun. If you want I can suggest some good early weapons and ammo to use.
all I know is that BP is best
set a windows page file of 32 gb, make sure use only phyiscal cores is off in settings (you can try it with it on too), make sure auto ram cleaner is on in settings, check your ram clock speed and XMP settings. and check if you correctly assembled your PC in dual channel ram mode
Are you guys playing with binaural ON ?
yea
I have to go now but do you mind helping me with that later?
For what caliber
The best ammo types depend entirely on the caliber, and what you are trying to accomplish with the ammo
From what it seems when shooting - low fps bug is mainly for AMD users. It seems to fix by completely reinstalling drivers thru DDU. NVIDIA drivers for some reason interfering with AMD drivers when playing the game or it could be because of old drivers that still remain.
not sure if links are allowed but https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166519-horrible-lag-when-shooting-unplayable/ last comments seems worked for them
I recently just re-installed the game. At first it lagged so bad I couldn't play. I noticed my GPU clock speed would go down sometimes to as low as 20mhz instead of constant at 2400mhz. I play other games daily like Squad and have no issues at all. I researched online, found some possible solutio...
@eager dragon did yall end up doin the task
Interchange OLI and Goshan shelves for both, and you can craft the small wd40 out of the big if you find one of those
thank you!
@edgy plover btw is interchange the best map to run for those types of items? required for hideout, etc.
There's certain items that other maps are great for, but in general, Interchange is arguably the best for hideout items
Yo im pretty new, (EU), someone wanna do a scav run with me and guide me a bit? Im pretty lost when it comes to loot and where it is, plus i have little map knowledge
what about creating more duo voice chats ??
There's just a lot of people.
or 2 or 1 person
Interchange is good for hideout items in general. It’s also nice because, well, it’s a shopping mall, so the loot is almost organized for you. Olli is like a hardware store sort of, so checking that is a good idea for hideout parts, especially the toolboxes and shelves in the back warehouse. Goshan shelves can be good too. Avoid/be very careful traveling through the main mall area, the big stores tend to be a bit safer.
ok. i'll scav a bit to get familiar before becoming loot delivery service 
In my experience scaving interchange and looting olli/goshan/idea is super safe and can be a good source of loot if it hasn’t been picked apart too much. You can also loot all the pc blocks in olli offices, might get lucky with a graphics card
Scav is really good to make mistakes with.
You don't lose as much as you would with your PMC.
An important factor of which being: time. It takes a lot more things and time to get your PMC back into action compared to your scav.
Throw out more successful scav runs than PMC runs and it's a whole lot better overall.
i feel like a dedicated discord for looking for groups would be nice but also a hastle to mantain
i spelt that wrong but idc
and good question about interchange: is there any good videos about how to loot interchange ?
Definitely recommend scaving it and familiarizing yourself with the map, approaching from the back and looting the warehouses and big stores is pretty safe. Be careful for people camping emercom extract. And use your ears in the mall!! Goshan also has tons of food if you need food for yourself or quest
I'm sure there's one somewhere, but it's out of our reach for team killing.
yeah thats why i say hard to maintain, there definitely are servers like that
but none under the official discord, so a lot less traffic through those other servers
thanks guys
Yes, there are tons of videos out there but I also recommend just using mapgenie to plan your route a bit and get ideas of what spawns where, and what you need. Like I said, interchange is nice because the stores almost sort the loot for you. Are you just looking to make money? Or do you need quest items? Food?
Real!
Map Genie is a real godsend.
It's very useful for newer and experienced players alike.
@plucky mesa https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/interchange
i mean there are small problems with mapgenie
Yeah, but it covers the general basis of most things.
Which in turn is useful a ton.
Every new player needs to know about mapgenie, eft ammo chart, and tarkovtracker. Those three websites are like essential for noobs. Wiki and flea price website are nice too.
I can’t imagine trying to learn the game alone without that shit. Even on maps I know super well I still always have map pulled up.
if u like using ur phone i highly suggest database for tarkov, it puts pretty much all those websites into 1
Literally
what should be my hideout priority?
Do you have lucky scav junk box?
Honestly I usually suggest going for a lucky scav junk box from therapist asap. It costs 1.1 mil sadly, but it lets you store barter/hideout items and it has about 200 slots of space.
you can do some of the early basic hideout shit now, but the cooler/higher level stuff will require a lot of components (say, 15 wires). It’s not super practical to hoard that shit in your stash until you have the junk box, so I suggest focusing on earning money and investing in that
Ahhhh okay
i will build nutrition and lav but im missing awl and salt, cant find it
also i havent seen clasic matches at all in this wipe lol
I struggled finding those for a while too i have no idea why. I still havent built my fucking med station for some reason too, as soon as I started looking i haven’t been able to find a syringe lol
i got so much syringes, they are everywhere XD
I have a ton of matches now, its just when you need some stupid item its nowhere to be found
could anyone help me out with delivery from the past quest? i hate factory.
Anyone willing to show me the extracts for customs when I get off work?
70k ish to therapist
0_0
anyone have blue tap key or backdoor cottage that wants to help a guy out? ive been searching jackets for hours
can you fucking not alt tab peak anymore????
what
the ai just sees me as if i completly exposed myself
oh you mean the slow lean
yes
i cannot use it on rogues
can someone help me unlock jaeger?
so im gonna gift my friend tarkov, but how? i clicked the buy as gift button but when do i put in his usertag
i think it just gives you a code for them to use
you get a redemption code
alright
he needs to input it
can i get help with everything
it says additional verification and that i need to put the temprarily debited amount, whats that
you need to check your like bank purchase history
but they havnt charged me yet, still got the money in my bank
yeah its not charged its just a statement with a random dollar amount
its just some freaky confirmation to make sure youre not using a stolen card
you dont lose items in special slots right?
Alr but idk what to put in
did mechanic just fail to restock?
everything that was out before was out again by the time it refreshed for me
It’s about seconds
brilliant BSG
should i care about this task..?
i've killed like 10 people trying to do it and they didn't even touch me, what's even the strat? hah
factory.
just go pistol + rig and nothing else?
aim for face and spam left mouse
i just dont know where to find it, like i checked my bank history but nothing there
maybe ask #community-support
If you take something out of your pouch before your extract will it count as FIR
Even if it’s in your pouch when you extract it’s fir
if you extract with something in your pouch, it will stay FIR
It only does count if you die with it in it
Or get a run through
yeah loses FIR if die
true… run throughs…
300 xp or 7minutes in raid to prevent run through iirc?
Thought it was 250 but yea 7 minutes
o
Important for scaving it’s 7 minutes from the start of the raid not from when you spawn
i forget how much exp the 7min survival bonus gives
It’s not that 7 minutes gives enough xp it’s just that it makes it not a run through I believe
I think the 7min survival bonus exp provides enough for the exp requirement (250xp or w/e), may be outdated bs tho
are headsets useless?
do killing raiders count against scav rep?
no
not at all
Is there a link to some cheap/beginner loadouts you can buy from traders at level 1?
but what do they do
extend hearing range, make ambient sound quieter, boost footsteps, and make really close gunshots quieter
each headset has slightly different characteristics
Today we’ll be looking at the best weapons at Level 1 traders in the new Tarkov wipe!
Patch 0.13 has shaken things up a bit, with 7.62 PS and T45 moved to LL2 traders, along with M855, joining 9mm PST which also not purchasable at the start. This means we have to think a bit more carefully about what to use.
We’ll be splitting up the weapons i...
anyone have a cheap pistol setup that can be modified decently at level 1 traders
you can put a light on a glock
thats kinda it
you cant mod pistols very much in general
but level 1 traders especially have nothing
i got a pistol in a raid that had a silencer and a stock on it, that thing beamed from so far and i kinda wanna recreate it but idk how
if it was full auto then it was a glock 18
but yeah glocks and 1911s have a good bit of attachments in this game
Does everyone else have issues with scavs not finding matches?
most of them are just for looks but the stock is one of the useful ones
hi, i have a problem with my gpu temps when i get into the raid, goes up to 85 C, crashed few times......anyone had problem likethis? Gainward 3080 ti tryed on back up 3070 ti same problem
uh maybe try reducing all graphics settings, idk
could try using msi afterburner to limit power or temperature, not sure how much that helps but worth a shot maybe
What level you
12 almost 13
hello, im trying to do the mechanic mission when i modify the mp-133. i have enough ergonomics, laser, 4 slots and 842 recoil, yet i still cant turn it in
durability
dur has to be 60
aaaaah
i did the same thing barter your buck wheat for the shotgun if they are sold out
repair 
Id say keep it all till lvl 15 and start selling stuff on flea
ok, so they nerf the hell out of lighthouse then make it so all scavs can roam the compound, along with constant pc crashes
damn, ive been doing so much and it was on 58 outr of 60 durability, ahahhaa thanks!
thats what i was planning but do i need anyhting from there that is hard to get for later quests
Atm I would sell the dr lupps jar, the oscope, and some of the intelligence files
i did the same thing barter your buck wheat for the shotgun if they are sold out
i just repaired it, its fine
ok yea mine was beyond repair
and note for gunsmith p2 make sure to fold the ak74u before you turn it in @mint zodiac
is it bad i sold 3 intelligence to fence?
i just got the game and am looking for some help getting started
its bad that you sold it to traders but even worse you did fence lmao
dont sell anything to fence that other traders will take
i didnt know you could do others. which other is there?
is the streets marked room exploit fixed yet or nah?
yea wait until you unlock flea to sell most things
for intel you sell to peacekeeper
i got no room tho as well
k
you got a scav box?
Hello does someone have any tips against server crashes? I get kicked out of the game almost constantly this game is really unenjoyable
you could use this and check what's worth keeping or not
https://tarkov-market.com/
nay
Select your own server manually
I did
A few with lowest ping
get one as soon as possible it gives you 200 extra slots for junk items
Welp idk
therapist sells it
yea
nice after i sold all my intel 😂
Just make sure you have at least 1.5-1.7 mill before you buy it
live and learn I guess, ty
if you die whilst trying to place prapor's file in factory for delivery from the past quest, do you have to get the file from customs again?
So you dont go broke
i got one and im back up to 400k already
Yea
the grind to unlock flea takes so long
just join a random 4/5 factory lfg voice chat
then there's only 1 pmc on the mapn thats not a teammate
great ty!
make sure to ask what region they are so you dont get fucked by ping 
will do
Where can I find salewas?
anyone with the key for operation aquarius quest and delivery from the past quest that can help me with those?
should i take the secure container or i will lost it if i die?
theres lots of places! the most success i have for salewas is customs in crackhouse
Your secure container and anything inside will not be lost during a raid
i found all of mine at med tent in factory or crackhouse
does only 1 file for delivery from the past spawn or can multiple people get it per raid?
medtent is rough cuz its factory, but i found 1 there and my last 2 in crackhouse
can someone help me with bunker pt 2?
i found 5 salewas on woods at med tent and usec camps
that being said too, if u put it in ur butt pocket, it wont be "found in raid"
does amd FSR help with streets lags?
whats that red symbol at the top?
Muscle pain.
You get an affliction for I think around 24 hours, mild debuff for Mild Muscle Pain from using the Gym.
Using the gym more will cause the affliction: Severe Muscle Pain, which can be a lot heftier.
anyone with the key for operation aquarius quest and delivery from the past quest that can help me with those please
Anyone in here able to drop 60 round mag for gunsmith part 2/3 🙂
why cant i find a scav game? is 6 minute queue normal or something?
can someone help me do bunker p1 and signal p1
Complete newby to the game just looking for people who want to group up, keep dying trying to extract mp-133s and want to finally move on from those quests haha
Anyone down to help out?
bro why does eft gotta have this shit additional verification on xsolla, man i just want to buy the game for my friend
just buy them from jeager
I just checked that... fml ty
anyone know how the m4 ubgl is acquired yet
anyone want to help a new player
How do you deal with having a really shit couple of days
like living 1/20 raids
even night
pistol run or play something else, no joke
just kinda dog
thats early wipe
if you wait a week itll be less contested but youll be behind
STALKER GAMMA slaps and tarkov wouldnt exist without it
its also free on their discord
anyone else having issues with loading screens ? it’s faster for me to just force my game to crash than to wait for the end of raid screen and half the time it crashes anyways, haven’t had this issue before until this wipe
Anyone have the time to help me learn the game? Just bought the game and have no idea what I’m doing. Joined some randoms party and they killed me and lost all my stuff
also turned all my settings off and still only getting 20-30 fps with a 3060 and an i5 9700k
wish I could show u some of my deaths
looking for someone that can help me do aquerious quest and delivery from the past quest (Im 16 EU)
What should I do with all of my loot, my stash is completely full
I’ve spent ages working on gun mechanics now in solo matches but I’m still too afraid to go into a proper match
Why fear?
you have a gun, they fear you too?
everything they earn and you earn is gone in 6-12 months.
Take from them there happiness, give them despair!
You do not Despair!
It’s just the fact that I’ll probably run out of guns and have nothing to practise with
I need to be able to fight to improve at not dying, but while I’m in that stage I’ll just be losing everything
Actually you know what, screw it. I’ll run as many as I can and cross that bridge once I come to it. Once I know how to get guns and continue practising it’ll be much easier to deal with
I need to work on staying calm in raids, I do get very anxious while playing
Scaving is good
But it seems even the good players do too to a degree
Use it often
I’ll definitely use it to practise some gun skills
anyone wanna run a scav hunt i dont know maps good
One other thing I’m really awful at is going for any locwtion that could potentially be busy. The only map I’ve played so far is customs but I seem to have avoided most of the actual good spots
Every time you lose Scav, if your worried about guns, Scav factory.
almost infinite guns
Also, if you get bare bones
I mean totally Broke
zero inventory,
you can, in theory, reset your account to starting.
it's one of those things where I imagine the better you get the more you'll be able to snowball and maintain a good supply to practise with
anybody trynna teach me how to play lmk
what's the question dabigdrop?
i’m looking for some people to play with and teach me the game
hello, i just bought the game this afternoon, does anyone want to teach the new guy?
I already brought a new guy into my Squad I can't take anymore at the momment, but I will answer questions.
Playing with a vet is recommended for sure, you could look at the Sherpa discord.
even with there semi recent scandles...
what scandles😂
Do I ask for quest help here?
Yea, they can guide you, again, I have a newbie in my squad otherwise id adopt one of you... but I got a new duckling yesterday.
i dont understand whats happening, when i choose a raid and get selected with random players, i die instantly, player always has orange nickname, i just dont understand what should i do
@foggy crest Are you joinging peoples parties!
my favorite is cheating for tracksuit
That’s a good point, what does that orange name mean?
Bet I just need the water quest on customs if anyone has the key and is willing to run with me
dont join random players
As a former tracksuit owner this disguest me.
Is that dependent on what edition they own?
It mean's they own the collectors edition, a good 66% of players do
maybe more.
i think cheating should disgust anyone
also make killa spawn that would be cool
That’s more than I expected
Agreed on both accounts, I got them to remove the exploits for the ragman quest off the wiki.
and i also have one other question, i only have a knife and thats it, it seems i get paired with everybody who owns minimum a gun, in what way can i obtain the weapon and not die in first 30 seconds?
inventory check?
In Reality, standard edition is more like an extended Demo, and EOD is the full purchase, but that is bad marketing as no one will pay that price for a Demo or full version, so they name it this way.
If you play this game enough, youll by EOD eventually, its just science
AFK
One thing I remember happening when I last played was simply standing outside of a warehouse because I heard someone inside, completely frozen cause I had no idea what to do
Yes

did they nerf 7.62x39 ammo?
How come it’s considered a demo
hey, i need large tushonka, emilya rye croutons and i did like 8 wood raids and only got the iskras for my quest
it just feels super unreliable right now using PS ammo in an RD to one shot kill rogues
I'll never give BSG more than 40$ they don';t deserve it.
repeatedly i am shooting them in the head and they arent dying
What questlines should I prioritize, for like good ammo
How do i get peackeeper quests?
oh ok
On customs then (aside from dorms), where could I go to to get some loot and practise my fundamental mechanics?
your best bet is to do a cache run on customs imo
can some1 explain why i dont have gunsmith 6 if i did gunsmith 5
time gate
time gate
this is a relatively safe run i used to use
when i enter a raid, i always spawn only with a knife and everybody else has weapons, how can i survive for longer than 15 seconds? where can i get a weapon?
you need to equip things before you go in to the raid
its not random
i have nothing in my inventory, i only have a knife
your stash is empty?
yes, just a knife
no money?
i bought the game this afternoon
post a pic of your stash
ok, this isnt a typical BR...you have items in your stash that you bring into raid, if you die, you lose those items
probably a troll
but, i bought the game, i had like a regular US standard assault rifle, i went into my first raid with random people, i died instantly and then when i tried to raid again, only knife was left
go to the character screen from the main menu, that is where your stash is
so then you need to play on your scav and survive to get stuff for your pmc
okay, let me check
no i can see why he would be confused if he didnt look into the game too much
at all
skill issue
what is the pre requisite for friend from the west? I have LL2 skier and have done up to chemical part 4 and still dont have it
i mean, most games are stupid simple to just pick up and play...this game defies most conventional gaming wisdom
hmm, youre right, i have some weapons in my character tab. but just one more question, every raid i enter i die in the first 10 seconds, what happens if i lose all of my weapons? i see i only have 3 weapons left in my character inventory
because then i will truly be left with only a knife
That’s what im figuring out too :|
you can use your scav for free loot or buy guns from the traders
you play as your scav...honestly, dont even bother with your pmc until you have played on your scav or offline
u can buy guns lol
also you start with a bunch of smgs and pistols too
whats the best map to get some early quest done like finding mp-133's n saleawas
wood
can someone help me w jaeger quest nae lvl 3
any affordable gun builds with a close to mid-range scope that isn't a mosin or sks
woods
i have flea if that matters
Does the flea market wish list let you do anything or just to easily find things you want?
so if i play with a scav, i get a weapon and if i survive i can transfer it to my stash?
yes
VPO at 7.62, or .366 if you have AP-M
you can list any found in raid items and buy whatever other people put up
so basically that means even if i lose all of my weapons, i get the chance to obtain one by playing as a scav?
Think you missed where I said wish list 😄
i think u need to watch a beginner guide
omg 💀
i think you are right lol, btw, which raid should i pick to play as a totally new player?
whars up
i guess i will leave PMC for now
u should go to offline mode and explore the maps and practice killing scavs
yeah
customs and woods are nice
alright, ill try with that, thanks
ty! any guns you recommend i should take on woods? and is there a specific route i should take.
@foggy crest i have a question
Anyone wanna play with me and my mate just started msg me
whatever u are comfy with
early game i was rocking mp5 and 5.45 aks tbh
looking for people from the UK to play with me im new.
what is it 😄
what got u into this game
Woods is bit more open so something like a carbine or an assault rifle would work well. Unless you can negotiate fights well
anybody trynna teach me how to play lmk
its seems like u didnt do like any research on what it is before u got it u are a lil confused
I don't understand aiming in this game. Like, if I ADS while standing still my bullets/recoil are all over the place. But when I watch videos I see guys running/strafing/jumping and then (or at the same time!) no ads lasering guys at 20, 30, 50m+ away. Is it literally just "git gud"? I've been playing fps's since UT/CS 20 years ago but Tarkov aiming is unlike any other game I've played (and not in a good way imo)
i did some research, but i guess not enough, i imagined this game as a battle royale where you fight to the end but in here you get to keep the weapons + survival aspects
better guns that u
if u get guns modded u can beam at far ranged easily
+soft skills help
early game gun recoil is pretty butt
Expertise
oh i see, another question, i only got to lvl 22 something but i felt like my guns were still shitty. what lvl do you guys think your loadouts should begin to change
Recall someone saying last wipe that at level 3 expertise the Ash12 was mad controllable
lvl 23 u get some goood shit
45 ap and 4.6 fmj and m80
kinda bananaers
so this games all about bullets huh
yeah
lmao interesting
https://youtu.be/1JTUQJOjDxI if u get the time id watch this. i like this guide even tho its a bit old
Escape From Tarkov is an extremely overwhelming and complicated game that provides some of the absolute best and most heart pounding FPS gameplay out of any game right now. In this video I aim to give you everything you need to know to start playing Tarkov confidently. This video will be dense and LONG but everything will be timestamped so feel ...
i will, thanks
w video
its also movie length
Unmodded M4 in Tarkov is a bit crazy if you're not used to it
i literally crouch spray everyone unless im hipfiring personally
More hours = worse
LMAO dude i used it my first raid and it was awful, should i just save it and mod it when i can?
This guide will help you quite a bit as a new player.
https://thetarkovhandbook.com/
professional plug
You'll need some for gunsmith tasks you can save it for. But in Tarkov don't worry about losing gear. You can spend a million modding out a gun then get into a raid and get 1 tapped by a sniper you had no idea was there and lose your ship
🌚
Just play the game have fun
im watching this tutorial thats 1:30 long xD but i will check the website later, it looks interesting
thanks
trust me those tutorials make the game alot more enjoyable
@prisma hatch come rate my clips
not really battle royale, since you can just leave whenever
Semnd Me clpis
Does anybody else constantly get kicked from raids even with good connection
is this normal? i entered the game, dont see anything
u selected night time
Got the game on an SSD?
You sound older than you appear with your discord chatter
Man calling you immature
i am a kind man now
yes
i dont argue on the cord
straight murdered
Dont translate that for him 
Lies
my ping is always incredibly high and i keep rubberbanding
On the launcher select servers where you have good connection
I'm suprised you have the Operator tag or whatever
bro just be insulting me

But I am glad you are reformed.
Dont forget the 12th step of your 12 step reformation

looking for someone who can help me out start the game, questing, sorting my inventory (what is safe to sell and what isnt??) maybe play together as well. German/English
even by looking at guides, its a lot to take in
@digital swan no
I can help with starting the game, or general info, but the rest is all a VC type of thing
How do you guys analyse your deaths into some meaningful improvment
Voice Chat type of thing? then lets go lol
I record my deaths but Im finding it hard to identify what went wrong or I could of done different
use google\
That comes with game knowledge. You have to know what to look for first.
"definetely a cheater"
"fucking camper"
repeats doing the same
not like i did that + youtube + some guide discords but its still hard because most say "you have to decide what to keep" like bruh idk i have 0 experience
if you cant follow a list that google gives you then you might have other problems
Theres some stuff on the items and traders page at the bottom to give you a better idea of what to keep:
https://thetarkovhandbook.com/
That's my problem
gimme a list
ty
if my friend shoots a green flare can i extract with him?
does this also have stuff related to more mechanical knowhow, positioning, gamesense yada yada or is it just for stuff like ammo and whatnot?
is there any console command to see ping?
It has tons of stuff
Think I might be mega tilted
You'll have to explore. It hits a lot of topics as well as combat tips, etc
It's the only thing I can think off
if it does then it'll be my jam. Quite a few things carry over from other fps games but it still has so much different that you have to consider
like this reticle shake when strafing feels otherwordly to me
I would just read through each tab. It breaks down armor, ammo, combat and practical tips, settings, AI, has 3D maps, etc
fps 2
i'm not seeing a tab on tips here, is it just kind of dispersed all over the place?
Any tips on good spawns for bleach and cleaner?
Is it worth it to uprade to heating level two instead of just selling the loot?
What should I do wiht a g28 i just found? i read it was banned from flae?
on the right side of my screen there is a black transparent box that is really distracting, it acts like a if there was a camera on the right side of my head so it keeps moving. Any idea how to get rid of it?
ahhh, cheers
Can anyone help me with settings. I have a 3070 and an i7
Clcik that link above and go to settings
You'll need heating for other upgrades in the hideout
More like
"Whaaa, How did that happen"
"Why did I miss"
"Oh, I'm just stupid" for me atleast 😄
GUYS I JUST FUICKED A DUO ON WOODS
which one?
where should i go to find salaewas
Loot and leave the map lol
This has more than just a settings guide too.
https://thetarkovhandbook.com/Settings.html
It do be a handbook
Hey guys i just bought the game via Thrust and now (20 minutes later) still cant see the install link in my profile, is there something i can do besides opening a ticket? (what i did already)
You posted it 20 times in the last 10 minutes lol
i dunno man im like lvl 11 and its my second wipe and tbh you can do a wipe without the therapist quest line
it's going to take me an absolute age to get used to this recoil jeez. in a solo match right now and against scavs i'm just so slow
I only link it if it answers a direct question.
Is RB-AK the tech room on reserve?
Can you just answer the question? Thats like if i sent someone the wiki.com anytime they had a question
anyone wanna help a newbie out? been dying constantly
@prisma hatch do u get ad revenue
Why would I tell some the answer when there is a resource that not only answers their question, but also teaches them something?
If it was the wiki i was linking I feel like you wouldnt have said anything.
There are no ads on that site. Thats part of the design philosophy. Simple, easy to navigate, free of clutter, and ad free
i mean when people be like "what setting should i do" "what items are good" its fine to send them a link bruh we cant sit here and list every setting and item in the game every time
then why do u post it constantly
Yooo whats the drama im missin
I just killed Santa... Fuck
u post it constantly because you made it and you think its the best
Because I geuinely enjoy helping new players and the wiki is a database that just tells you things instead of teaches you things. That site is the only educational website for EFT
The wiki is run by a team of community members and has been the standard forever. Just feels like you could maybe answer people’s questions instead of sending a link to your guide every couple minutes. Youve linked it over 200 times
Is that actual numbers
To questions where it directly answers a concern
Not hating just curious
Yes
what if i made a youtube video and just posted it everytime someone asked something
Goddamn
If it answers someones direct question then why is that bad
how do i upgrade my stash?
I dont think they are disagreeing with you that youre website is bad
I think the argument lies elsewhere among that topic
In a way they are. The only issue I can see here is that it's not something they recognize, and its not the wiki, so therefore it's bad. thats what i'm getting out of this.
u could just answer the question in like a sentence lol
but u want to push ur website. if i had a website id also want people to look at it lol
i get it
Not at all. It may be a great guide. But its being sent every couple minutes. Just feels like an ad
Give a man a fish vs teach a man to fish. I'm linking the answer and providing an educational resource
Again, answers direct questions. I've already discussed this with a mod prior to linking it last year
The problem isnt that your putting the link out there the problem (from what i gather) is the amount you have linked it
This is also over like 1-2 years
Yes hi
In youre opinion would it be better or worse of instead of just linking, he gives a answer, then provides a link and says something like “if you need any other information this website’s pretty useful”
I feel like thats a common ground neither party can get mad at
this wipe alone it has been posted 36 times
today has been a lot of it
So ive answered 36 direct questions with it
In fairness to him, a lot of new players, a lot of new questions
yiikes the fps optimisation
do you have bot games a lot??? every lobby is full of bots that move weirdly and not shoot until one of them suddenly shoots at me after 5 minutes and i kill him, then all of the other bots are aggressive suddenly
what do u think about this wacky guide
Wait till he hears about scavs
is it INFORMATIVE
Scavs are in the game, they are ai
couldnt u like type a sentence
AI are in every online game of EFT
Im not saying what he can and cant do. Thats not my place. I just have concerns with leading beginners to a guide for everything if its not the community standard. I dont want people led to misinfo
i answer more than 50 questions per day. in text. that is pretty efficient
So your issue lies within the innaccuracy (if any) of the website
yeah but playing as a scav on factory its 100% bots sometimes, like 10 bots and no players after a 10 minute queue....HOW?
if people need help i just like copy past them a sherpa guide and they can read it
Players have usually left by that time
And I get that. I put a lot of work into it when I can to make sure its p to date and educational
Sherpa guides are pretty good id imagine
I highly suggest checking out some guides, pestily is a youtuber aswell some of them are outdated bt i personally find his content easy to digest for help
As well as i think his name is airwingmachine?
And i dont doubt that. But a guide made by one person may have some bias that aren’t entirely factual
100% agree
right after i spawn?
Scavs have a delayed spawn timer, u dont spawn in when the raid starts
You do realize that most of the guide links to the community standard resources right...?
How do i make my spash bigger?
So most pmcs have extracted by that time
Same thing with pushing content, Streamers and the wiki, are good sources of information they are not infallible and they are not some Holy source of truth
Ive updated the wiki 3 times
i looked at ur settings guide. and in my opinion its very odd because some settings are personal preference or tied to ur rig for best performance. might need to look at it again because u are just redirecting people to youtube videos and reddit posts
weird
Have you ACTUALLY gone through it?
Hideout upgrade/ buying game upgrade
is this bugged? what else do i need to do?
ok
Try restarting the game
I cannot say i have read your entire handbook no
I guess its easy to extract that way, will abuse that the next games i get
Also, try not to shoot scavs as a scav
Ok, then I would say look into it before criticizing it and me so harshly.
yeah, i know
If it's your handbook that's also like....self promotion on desperate newbies.
one shot me for no reason and then all of them hunted me down
bad form.
If u havent, i suggest finding a guide on fence rep cause its directly tied to scavs
Itll give y a lot of information
ur website very strange
Theres no other resource like it besides the wiki (a database)
this discord
Link it to me in a PM, I will look beofre I laugh.
Thats something planned
@prisma hatch can u comment on this?
or you can scroll up and find it
Yeah, so those settings guides dont tell you WHAT to do, they tell you HOW and WHY to do it.
For whorver was looking
i restarted the game, but nothing changed, should i submit a bug report?
Could be a variety of things tbh man. Maybe check after your next raid? idk
Try visiting the place on customs if u havent?
☕
Never criticized you. Or your guide. Just voicing my concerns regarding how its been pushed on people and i question the bias of it. As i would question anything that isnt the wiki. If you stand to gain nothing through promoting your guide, why not push the wiki? Or just answer questions with your own words. Which would lead to discussion that may provide more insight than a text wall.
ok ty
the video im watching is the guy literally saying what he keeps his settings on. its also dated
So I will say two things 1. The website is done better than I thought it would be so Kudoz to that.
However #2 is exactly what Spartan is saying, you have Bais in here an entire page actually to it.
The rules of Tarkov? whos rules?
Because the wiki isnt educational. it just tells you stuff, give you values, etc.
If you read them theyre largely agreed upon practices and combat tips in EFT.
Having all the information is quite educational
I read some and Agree with most most of the time, also not the point.
settings will never be good across the board for everyone. there is not a single graphical settings guide from any youtuber that will work globally
this is my point
Yet
if i put my textures lower or something my game will explode
Got the same issue, restart didn't help nor anything else. Thought maybe I missed something so I ran another raid and still stuck.
That's a uh.
Actually no nvm never
specs?
we are discord pvping
if you're making a tarkov handbook btw you should never put a link to a youtube video for a section. a handbook is supposed to be easily readable and accessible, like a quest guide should contain text, a map with routes, screenshots at key location, and describe what to do
lol
Hate videos
how good is a terragroup labs access keycard
65k or u can go to labs
Id argue theres a few ‘almost’ handbooks too tbh, like here is a guide to the quest in exact
I mean lets ask some new players, that's the point of this channel and community.
Would you guys want several websites that could be considered not standard, or would you want all information to be Solid so you don't have to unlearn things.
what do you suggest?
LABS BABY
i sell them for now. i dont like early wipe labs its boring
Listen guys, i get it. It's not the wiki, it's not some well known trusted resource, else like it out there. There are no other guides with the information I have and am constantly looking to add to it. I just want to help new players and I have gotten great feedback from anyone who has been linked it or actually used it.
If you dont like it, dont use it. I'm not targeting sherpas or people who know everything about EFT or have the knowledge and hours I do.
Your gonna die but you also will get rich before you die
Run it in offline first.
thats not spartan
I mean
Fair.
For the record I also said taking the Wiki\Streamers at there word is also bad pratice.
every single skill on the page takes you to a 404 page
Technically it is spartan
seems pretty unreliable
Hahahahahaa
LMAO ok sounds good, i have no interest in labs and have never played it but later this wipe ill try it.
im not reading allat but we up 🙏 💯
65k is pretty nice
The skills page broke so I disabled the links @pastel current
w
If u want before u sell the card, go into labs offline mode and learn it a bit for late wipe
It looks nice template or?
I have and will always prioritize the education of new players. Anything that is not community standard and feels bias, i will always be skeptical of. Id hate to see a new player given biased information because someone wants to plug their own material.
i cant go into labs offline without the keycard?
I actually dont know i just assumed not
you cant
There we go
I'm literally just trying to make the guide I wanted when I started this game back in 2015.
how do the wipes work on tarkov? like how long till they happen
it's a cool web design project but it's gonna be very hard to beat the combined resources of a large community editing a wiki of full knowledge, using a wikia base
About every 6 months, we had one a week ago
ok
I dont understand
So the sks tapco stock just sold out in 3 seconds what now?
gunsdmiht
Is it your website?
Yeah
wheres the private clinic task? did bsg change it?
I got this from a task, is it good?
Every gun is arguably good
its a good level 1 gun
I'm not competing with the wiki. The wiki is a database and will always have values and answers. i'm trying to make a teaching tool
looking for someone who has tarcone directors key or dorm 303 key for missions.
Yes
Uh.
and eagle eyed
you got a lot of typing to do then, teaching tools require in-depth and articulate descriptions and paragraphs
for every thing in the game
how do i even find extract for first time
I have eagle eye
at the spawn, nothing there, i also checked if it was in my stash. should i submit a bug report now?
no
look behind you
Hey, is the m870 moe handguard always sold out?
under the brick pile
its in the patch notes that quest items spawn around the area now
Literally constantly
anyone here want to do some runs? im very new
its there, thanks bro
How much roubles does it take for level 2 peacekeeper
W mod
sure what map were you thinkin?
Is this literally just everyone trying to get it? I saw the flea market prices and was thinking scalping
are all of these one time use or just dorms
i dont mind at all, id like to pick one and practice abit
Just dorms and smugglers
Yeah, youd be lucky if u found one for rubles on the market
Just the 1
so many more scv extracts than PMC's i cant find an extract in the first place
is this gonna cool off at some point?
Probably
dope
Later into the wipe people wont want them
But i feel like its not worth waiting that long so try to snag one when u can
W
bros tutoring shift is over
either way I just gave it away to someone because I didn't see them in time :,)
or they will ban me
keep it for docs case
Keep for doc
whats docs case do
Bear Bastards.
sent you a pm bro
oh shi so i need it then
Yeah very good
ight bet
how do i get a compass
mans been shit on by bear chads one time too many
is it realistic for a new player to complete Kappa? I'm wondering if I should sell those items I need for it or no
anyone know how rare of a spawn the dorm 203 key is ?
NPC´s are annoying af they sit in bushes and give you a headshot instantly
Buy or task completion
Unless u plan on hardcore grinding it, not mant new prople make it to kappa
Hell ive been here for 4 wipes and i just havent had the care to grt kappa
based
Eventualy you realize that getting kappa is just glorified eod
I see, I think I'll sell them, I think the Forklift key is for kappa no?
If they gave like a kappa armband with the wipe number i feel like thatd be cool but otherwise no reason imo
I dont even know what the forklift key is ill get y a list of kappa items tho
appreciate it
I got one very early but never knew if I wanted to try go for kappa or sell it, I think it was for kappa at least
Kind of hard to see but
Kappa isnt worth your time
hmmm I can't see it there
I do recommend keeping 1 golden rooster tho cause scav case is nice
it says "1 needs to be found in raid for the quest Collector"
collector is for kappa no?
Might not be all up to date, new wipe = app i use needs to be updated
yes
ait, I'll sell it then
what is the minimum durability a gun has to be for gunsmith quests?
Yeah just checked, theres a couple new items not listed there
60 usually, itll say in the gunsmith description
If I do a mission with a friend and complete it, is the progress shared for both of them and is it completed for both of them or is it separately?
i have one that is 59 so i guess it won't work then?
you have to have the quest active and complete individually
Probably not no
but if we have the same mission and we complete at the same time?
can you repair it?
If theres a item to grav, if both if u grabbed the item then both will complete it
yeah but both of you have to turn it in individually
Oh you fucking genius

where can i find hardrives?
sound is so fucking broken right now its insane
it was not this bad last wipe

HDD's? I think people mentioned shoreline and interchange but don't take my word for it, computers
I cant find jaegers note for the life of me, I hate woods sm
is it not there or can you not find the spot?
can't find the area that its in or you can't find the letter itself?
liquid join woods lfg 5
I cant find it, keep getting lost n killed
were going to go to it now
okay, Im loading into one rn but after?
whats better to start as a scav or pmc ?
sure
I have a map on my browser but from where I spawn i cant find it
What map r u using
yk where the camp is?
it should be under the wooden post or whatever that thingy is
yeah yeah ik that much
ah, you'll get the hang of it, Woods was harder to learn than customs for me, but using landmarks like lakes, mountains, the utility poles etc etc makes it easier to learn , also having the map on another screen or on your phone, or alt tab to look at it
xd
now I gotta find my extract
gl
praying
what are some good budget weapons at lvl 8?
usually I just grab scav weapons and reward weapons
mosin
I like the Vepr-hunter with a scope
with the LPS ammo ye?
ye
is there a good cheap scope for it?
