[dapper epoch]

is a military gyrotachrometer good

How are so many hot spots unlooted when i play scav i dont get this

[vivid thunder]

they all died to scavs en route 💀

[mint light]

people sometimes just wanna task and dip or spawn across the map

[elfin elm]

also, just because there's good shit there, doesn't mean it's "good enough" for some people or something they just found better, lol

[dapper epoch]

Its just weird to see entire poi's untouched

[finite terrace]

i finally take out the hexgrid out of my stash and get head-eyes first shot by a mosin while we're both on the move

[elfin elm]

it happens a lot actually

[elfin elm]

noice

[finite terrace]

classic

like people don't have inertia

[elfin elm]

I usually sell any big armors until the loadout matches up

good chest, good helmet, good gun

and good ammo

[finite terrace]

i had it all besides face shield

[elfin elm]

cus with my luck I waste the gear otherwise

[finite terrace]

close range, he picks, i move to dodge and he hits my face

he didn't even take the time to aim on my screen

[elfin elm]

is the helmet really good if it doesn't have a faceshield?

[finite terrace]

face shield is so annoying to play with because i have glasses

it feels like my glasses are dirty

[elfin elm]

doesn't stop me

I do agree though

faceshield should be able to wipe clean

but also, still worth using

[finite terrace]

well i hit his thorax for 79 or something with an M62 so i hope he didn't make it and died

[elfin elm]

you can sometimes see post raid if they bleed out

[dapper epoch]

How do you get different arm bands

Like the bear and usec ones

[vivid thunder]

Ragman

ooh, I thought you meant colors

[dapper epoch]

Or labs or evasion

Rivals

[mint light]

flea

sometimes barter only

[dapper epoch]

How are those people getting them tho??

[mint light]

find in raid

[dapper epoch]

WHere

[mint light]

stashes n shit

[dapper epoch]

Ah

[elfin elm]

I think you can find them rarely on AI too

but, like, RARE

[dapper epoch]

You cant take armbands off of them tho no?

[elfin elm]

AI you usually can

it's only pmcs and bosses I think you can't take melee and armband slots from

[last swift]

should I take a pistol on runs with my MP5? Fairly new but not sure if I should risk taking two guns if I do a PMC run or not

[vivid thunder]

I feel like an MP5 is more than enough gear if you're not confident in Tarkov PvP/PvE yet

Or, you can take both BUT do Offline runs to practice

having a pistol is useful, but not mandatory

[last swift]

I did some offline to practice with the MP5 but I hadn't even thought abt bringing a pistol too lol

[elfin elm]

pistol+bolty is a good combo

pistol+smg is somewhat redundant

[vivid thunder]

yeah, the only reason I can see myself bringing a pistol; is if I am running a bolt action sniper

[outer prairie]

also an sks is just a good choice overall

[elfin elm]

smg+bolty is good, but maybe overkill

[cyan spoke]

Yeah if your taking in a smg. Just take more bullets

[vivid thunder]

at least 4 mags if you plan to do factory
more if it's the 20 round mags

[last swift]

Sounds good! Thanks guys ! When I get an sks I'll try running it with my smg but I'll just do smg for now if I run my PMC

Yeah it's the 20

[vivid thunder]

20 rounds go quick if you're constantly fighting

[cyan spoke]

You shouldnt worry about your guns when your first starting. Open yourself to not worry about losing your loot. When you die as a PMC you can always regain its value in a scav run

[last swift]

mhm im not too worried about losing loot, just wondered if bringing a pistol would even help my chances yk?

[mint light]

sidearms are kinda redundant

[elfin elm]

you can buy 30s at lvl 1 at peace keeper

[cyan spoke]

Yeah. Sidearms are more for if you get flanked as a sniper

[vivid thunder]

agreed, cheap too
iirc 25k rubles a pop
and with 20k more, you can mod it substantially

[elfin elm]

or if you just wanna have a lil fun

[mint light]

i bring mp7 with sniper 🌚

ultimate switcharoo

[cyan spoke]

Or you wanna John Wick everyone in factory

[last swift]

Thanks guys! I'll grab the bigger mags too

[thin fulcrum]

are ragmans quests now locked behind make ultra great again or audit? i did only business and big sale

[elfin elm]

also fun

[hazy veldt]

only time I use pistol, is Stirrup.

[mint light]

they are locked behind muga

[hazy veldt]

any other time, any SMG is better choice in my book.

[thin fulcrum]

fuck that shitty quest

im level 31 and have no scav kills for it yet

[vivid thunder]

any map with Scav is a good choice imo

if you know where to go/loot and the extracts

[vivid thunder]

does playing with higher quality settings improve ability to spot people?

I'm playing with low settings atm, and wondering whether I should change that; I think my hardware can handle it

[keen edge]

When crafting the Magazine Case at Lav 2, do the fuel tanks need to be full?

[finite terrace]

no

[keen edge]

Thanks!

[elfin elm]

in fact, there's a thing a lot of players do where they run their hideout crafts overnight with the generator running for long crafts

[topaz forge]

preferably they should be empty

[elfin elm]

and people save up used gas cans specifically for those crafts

[keen edge]

thanks a great idea. i have a 12hr craft going right now, so i'll let it go

[elfin elm]

if you do wind up doing 1 long craft overnight though

make sure ALL your stations are doing a craft

to use your gas efficiently

[keen edge]

ok, will set up some other crafts as well. I think I can do 2 more

[arctic arch]

need help with peackeeper task scrap metal

[drifting jolt]

increasing your settings definitely make a bit easier to spot enemies

[elfin elm]

can always test in an offline raid

[vivid thunder]

is there a way to like, get "Live preview" when changing my settings
I could have sworn I see someone do that
could have been clever video editing though

[vivid thunder]

well, I'll try to change my settings to medium and see how it goes

[elfin elm]

for post fx yes

[vivid thunder]

ooh

[elfin elm]

gotta be in a raid though

online or offline

[vivid thunder]

aaaah, I'll do that too then

People 100 meters away from me are like 2 to 5 pixels on my monitor
it's insanely hard to spot people

[elfin elm]

some of that comes with practice

lol

[vivid thunder]

😩

is there even a way to practice that?
I plan on being a Woods Gremlin

[elfin elm]

lots of woods runs, some offlines, using scoped guns and squinting a lot

[vivid thunder]

I'll try to do more wood runs then

I got decent loot, and died to a scav at a cabin near the outskirts extract

TWICE

but that was yesterday

[feral tulip]

Just got tarkov hella clueless to what Im supposed to do

[vivid thunder]

get ready for lots of learning

Offline mode is your friend

you do that by selecting the map of your choice, and clicking "Next" instead of "Ready" and ticking the Offline mode checkbox

[feral tulip]

bet I did a scav run and just wondered around I'll do that

[vivid thunder]

yeah a scav run is also good

just remember NOT to shoot other scavs when on a scav run, it'll ruin your reputation with Fence

in scav runs, the flowchart is:
Spawn -> Loot -> Extract

if you're new, it'd be hard to tell between Scav/PMCs so better to just play it safe

[feral tulip]

Fasho good to know what maps are the quickest to learn?

[vivid thunder]

Customs is pretty linear

and there's a pretty tall factory chimney you can use as a guide that's about in the middle of the map

[stoic girder]

Customs n factory

[feral tulip]

Bet I'll run those

[vivid thunder]

Factory is really combat intensive, so go in with the expectation you'll die

[atomic shoal]

I thought reserve would be one of the easiest because of the close extracts

[elfin elm]

interchange

[stoic girder]

Sometimes, it's very 50/50 whether you'll come out with 200k amount of loot or shot dead

[elfin elm]

it's a square with a 50/50 between two extractions

[stoic girder]

Kinda forgot about reserve, no need to run it atm since I'm doing all my woods quest

[vivid thunder]

I've went into Factory 4 times? made it out 0 times

[hazy veldt]

Factory > Customs > Interchange, imo.

[stoic girder]

Oh just unlucky

[hazy veldt]

technically, lighthouse is also very easy to learn

just you need to watch a guide on dealing with rogues.

[atomic shoal]

Good for gpu locations

[stoic girder]

I only run my scav on factory, is a quick 100k or so. Plus medical and technical creates are quick

[vivid thunder]

according to your math, that means I'm due a 4 survive streak in factory with 800k

[hazy veldt]

factory scav or pmc?

[vivid thunder]

I'm talking about PMC

[hazy veldt]

PMC is different story.

[vivid thunder]

Scav runs in Factory is easy peasy lemon squeezy, only died twice out of 10

[hazy veldt]

you have upto 5 others trying to murder your face.

and because it's a small map, with very easily learned spawns, it'll happen quick.

[vivid thunder]

also there's that unforgiving spawn in a dead end with the red metal wall

[stoic girder]

Scav

[weary mist]

for BP DEPOT, if I mark one of the gas tankers and die, do i have to buy another marker and remark it?

[still laurel]

no

[elfin elm]

as long as the timer finished it's checked off

if you die before the timer finishes then yes

[weary mist]

alr thanks guys

[vivid thunder]

next wipe, it resets and you have to do it all in one raid and extract (joking)

[elfin elm]

truth or jest?

[vivid thunder]

jest

cause I feel like the devs are making previous tasks more tedious to do

like making Machinery key and Unknown Key single-use

[storm fern]

@feral tulip dont customs and factory are both clusterfucks when you're new, either do interchange and watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhXVHA3zG88 it guarantees you good loot for starters, and second the extracts are usually fixed, so that means in and out on the same spots mostly 24/7 and its a smaller size map. Second is woods, its bigger, more open less of a clusterfuck and you can think on both maps on your engagements, interchange being even both where inside the mall = CQC and outside = Patient wait for fights / gauge enemy

[vivid thunder]

yeah Interchange is also solid, if you avoid the mall

[elfin elm]

or if you're sneaky af in the mall

[vivid thunder]

I mean its easy to get lost in the mall 💀 (for me)

[storm fern]

wtf is it with everyone already running endgame gear.. I am legit getting fucked up by like .50 ammo whilst im running around chucking buckshot at steel plating..

isnt it like 1-2 weeks into wipe? ffs.. people get a life jesus i already play this like 5 hours a day

cant imagine what the rest is doing lol

[analog kelp]

Hello, I have a big problem, my email address used to connect me has been deleted. Unable to retrieve it.

When connecting to tarkov, you must copy the verification email but it is impossible to retrieve it. I contacted support but no response from them, if anyone has an answer.

PS: I have the invoice for the game

[south wave]

Hi, I have 12th gen intel core i7-12700, 12 cores, 2100 Mhz with a GTX 3060 GPU; does anyone know a good setting guide for that exact pair? I kinda want max visibility, and a solid 60 FPS

[vivid thunder]

#community-support ?

[rigid pollen]

okj thx

[south wave]

Oh

[vivid thunder]

this reminds me I should backup my invoice 💀

[somber rain]

i hit double z to drop bag and now i cant use anything?

cant shoot, aim, use anything

says hands are busy

[brittle canyon]

spam open and close inventory

[somber rain]

didnt work

my pilgrim is flashing

[elfin elm]

fun bug tbh

[somber rain]

not rly

trying to get a task done on interchange and i cant use shit

[elfin elm]

try proning and standing

[somber rain]

pmc ran up on me and killed me

great fucking game bsg

[brittle canyon]

you were having a panic attack

train stress resistance

[somber rain]

bro said panic attack 💀

[vivid thunder]

wait, that's a mechanic in the game?

[brittle canyon]

no

[somber rain]

it happened when i tapped double z with the underbarrel grenade launcher out

just completely fucked my thing up

[brittle canyon]

yea it’s all too much man

dropping a bag woah lots of stress

[woven fiber]

pipi skin

[vivid thunder]

lmao

[stable island]

can u guys send me gun builds u use for 200k or under pls

[woeful spruce]

What trader levels and what ammo you got available?

[stable island]

all lvl 2 except mechanic amnd i got flea

[robust robin]

Id use ak 74s with pp

[tulip elm]

DM me and I’ll send you screen shots of my settings in the morning. I’ve got a similar setup (seems like). i7 11700KF / RTX3060 / 64g 3200 ddr4 ram / 590 mobo. Have most settings high/ultra and maintain between 75-100 FPS online raids.

[south wave]

Great, I'll do that before I head out to work.

[woeful spruce]

i dont think theres any need to go too much more expensive than that tho on the 103 you can for sure use a better muzzle if you want to spend more money you can use the srvv muzzle or go all out on the jmac

[stable island]

ty bro

[drifting jolt]

Every seen a rogue go through mitosis? https://streamable.com/8e5rs5

[stable island]

what ammos should i use?

[woeful spruce]

thejmac isnt even that expensive on flea, for sure use that

pp for all 74 variants and ps for the 103

[stable island]

tyty

[drifting jolt]

https://eft-ammo.com

[woeful spruce]

you dont really got any other good ammo to choose from at this point

[stable island]

sadge

[woeful spruce]

you can also just run the ump and go for heads, really nice

[open apex]

Or a adar with flesh ammo, you either go for head or legs no inbetween

i love adars but i use m855a1

if you use HP you could black someones legs in 2 shots or less

[robust robin]

If you use the lvl1 jager leg meta 9x18 it does significantly better damage

Semi auto leg meta doesnt sound reliable

Excwpt shotguns

[open apex]

depends on the map

kedr was very meta early wipe

for a reason though

[proper laurel]

What gun would anyone recommend for level 2 traders ?

[open apex]

ump

[ruby karma]

any early lv gun recommendation for killing scavs in woods? i mainly use shotgun but i find its a bit harder to use on woods

[woeful spruce]

i dont think leg meta semi auto guns are particularly efective without top notch aim that most players dont have

[proper laurel]

How much does the UMP cost ?

[open apex]

1$ per bullet

[proper laurel]

Go for the legs ?

[open apex]

Exactly

[woeful spruce]

posted some just above #beginners-assistance message

[static turret]

its my name 😛

[open apex]

I mean personally hp leg meta is honestly awesome

but if you cant aim i can understand it would be hard

[static turret]

yes, and shooting some1's arm out usually means they dont even realize and keep being aggresive, shooting in the legs, and they are on the defense

[open apex]

their pretty much a imobile nugget

[proper laurel]

Thank you

I’ve been using the SAG but it’s pretty pricey when I’m getting banged a lot

But it’s such a nice good to shot

[woeful spruce]

you can also just pen their armor with a round like 545 bp (most people wear class4) and and kill them in like 3 shot burst outright

[static turret]

also, the 556 ammo seems to have no bullet drop whatsoever. so you can just aim for head or legs or w/e, and its gonna hit them

[elfin elm]

a result of really high muzzle velocity

[open apex]

you can buy adars for 25k sometimes and make something like this for around 60-70 and the ammo is pretty much cheap. Its playstyle and map, Id never bring a adar to shortrange map like reserve or streets/factory

this is like 60-70k gun included

[stable island]

what ammo to use

i love adar

[elfin elm]

m855 and up

the more pen the better

[stable island]

oki

ty

[elfin elm]

m995~m855a1>m856a1>m855>m856

[woeful spruce]

65k gun

[elfin elm]

don't use m856

[stable island]

why

[elfin elm]

pen is too low

[stable island]

ah

[open apex]

Oh common 20k aks thats like the best deal

their usually 40k

dont cap

[elfin elm]

even with m855 you're hitting the bare minimum

[open apex]

pp ammo for 3 mags would be 50k

[woeful spruce]

ak74 are 40k this is an aks74 which always goes for 20-25k

[open apex]

dam your right

but your not account for the ammo

but for a inexperienced player aiming for parts of bodys i guess would be hard and if their inside a building it would suck

but hp ammo adar has done right by me this wipe imo

[woeful spruce]

i have to try it out

sounds fun

[open apex]

and its 1000% cheaper than running 5.45

[ruby karma]

where am i in woods?

[robust robin]

Top left of map

[woeful spruce]

somewhere south of sunken village

[ruby karma]

alr tyty

[open apex]

do you guys know what crafting level i gota get to craft 2 at once

[ruby karma]

btw how do i check compass? it should be "U" from what i read online but it doesn't work on me

[open apex]

u hover over it in your inventory and assignment a button to it

[sterile adder]

level 2 traders gun builds for woods? not 556 i just dumped 2 mags of m855 into this guy on woods using an mdr and i died because of a malfunction

[robust robin]

He probably had high tier armour or you missed your shots

[open apex]

see how u can put 5 on the compass

[sterile adder]

i definitely hit him, i was using the mdr

[robust robin]

On woods i just run a mosin sniper with pu and a pistol of any kind for face taps

[sterile adder]

i finally find players and end up dying because of my ammo 💀

[drifting jolt]

it only partially pens level 4 armor, so if he was rocking 4+, then youre kinda screwed

[sterile adder]

i should have gone for the face

i have a replay ill watch it

[drifting jolt]

i mean, why fire more bullets when 1 bullet do trick?

[open apex]

head eyes

[open apex]

Just run this with a compact 2x scope and PP ammo

its pricy but its probably best option lvl2

[sterile adder]

i hit him about 5 times, 2-4 times in the thorax and once in the leg then my gun jammed halfway through the mag

[elfin elm]

previous wipes info right there, back when we only had one special slot

[open apex]

its about the ammo not how many times u hit him

[robust robin]

Yeah bind "u" to discard anyway

[sterile adder]

yeah i just hit him less than i thought i did, thats why im looking for other builds with better ammo, i dont mind semi-auto

[robust robin]

762x39 ps my friend

[open apex]

if you have ps ammo for 7.62 a op-sks is alright

a lot of kick tho

[robust robin]

Run a vepr or an akm or sks or whatever

[drifting jolt]

UMP is always fun, and cheap overall

[robust robin]

Yeah the weapon part barter for an sks is quite good

[sterile adder]

thanks, for woods ill run sks thatll work

[open apex]

dov tail mount with pso and a scuffed op-sks is like 50k MAX

its alright

[sterile adder]

i dont really want to go cheap cheap, ill find something

[open apex]

you can totally trick out a SKS

but akm is good if your not going cheap

[atomic shoal]

What’s recommended ammo on a budget for that

[robust robin]

Match fmj from pk1

[elfin elm]

fmj and then ap if you can get your hands on it

[atomic shoal]

Alright thanks

[drifting jolt]

FMJ

[elfin elm]

aka maxed

[open apex]

what level is elite ? is it always 40

[ruby karma]

yo is there any mines down the bridge v ex in woods?

[open apex]

how do you report from voip?

some guy just full out racist moded

[ruby karma]

i almost extracted and made the stupid mistake trying to go thru the bridge

fucking hell

[open apex]

iv been crafting nonstop for the past 2 days and im only lvl 3

how is 51 even possible

[versed valley]

It is possible

[drifting jolt]

AI snipers, not mines

if you walk passed the front of the car they shoot

[ruby karma]

i see..

can anyone tell me where im at in woods

[true timber]

is m700 a good rifle? i kinda enjoy sniping, but not sure if its worth using or should buy like a sniper mosin and roll with it, got lvl 2 traders atm

[drifting jolt]

up near the vehicle extract

[fierce coyote]

Need some tips in interchange tactics, I literally go in and I always turn into players no matter what I do. Really would apreciate some ideas, because the amount of squads in that map is crazy.

[drifting jolt]

i mean, they're all about the same, but the r700 is LOUD af

[ruby karma]

bridge v ex?

[drifting jolt]

nods

[ruby karma]

ty

[drifting jolt]

it's down that road on your left

[elfin elm]

bolties are mostly personal preference once you get flea, though some take a bit longer to get your hands on.

you can use the mosin for forever

or spring for other fun guns

just make sure you use at least m80 for 7.62x51

at least

[drifting jolt]

go up top instantly, be weary of Techlight

[true timber]

i found couple of m700s and they are sitting in stash, wondering if i should use it or sell and buy something else

[drifting jolt]

get a vepr hunter and suppress that bitch

[fierce coyote]

up top? You can go on the roof?

[drifting jolt]

no no, 2nd floor

[elfin elm]

m700 might have the most moddability of the bolt rifles

[fierce coyote]

Doesnt stop the squads coming for me

[drifting jolt]

DVL is best bolty

[elfin elm]

so if you like it, go for it

[drifting jolt]

disappear in the shadows brah

[elfin elm]

I'm a t-5000 fan, but dvl is great no denying

[true timber]

atm i can roll with mosin, m700 and this .366 gun i think

[drifting jolt]

366 is trash, unless you use AP, and that round is still kinda trash, unless youre running Factory

[elfin elm]

.366 has kinda bad ammo unless you use the hard to get shit, and has pretty bad accuracy on the rifle

[drifting jolt]

^

[elfin elm]

mosin is a bad gun, with a good bullet similar to the sv-98 though that is marginally better

and then there's the m700, DVL, t-5000, and the new lapua mag rifle

[true timber]

ill check m700 today, but i guess it will be very expensive to supress this gun? or even not possible with lvl 2 traders

[versed valley]

Sv98 is just a mosin but better

[elfin elm]

with the power of flea market I think you can, but all of those rifles that run 7.62x51 will be expensive to suppress/mod

mosin and sv-98 are fairly cheap though at the cost of meh guns

[versed valley]

Sv98 > m700

Also you cant get m80 from flea

[true timber]

thoughts on rfb? i have gas analyzer barter unlocked for it, and looks like the gun costs around 40k max, its not bolt action, but still single fire

[drifting jolt]

it's alright, but cant attach a laser/light

[heady dagger]

Mosin chads 4ever

[elfin elm]

gun is pretty alright, but getting enough decent ammo to use semi auto a lot is too tough to run it a lot

[heady dagger]

run stock mosin every pmc raid to get a bigger penis

[elfin elm]

yes you can

with shenanigans

[raw remnant]

I'm asking mostly because I have mastery experience on guns I've never even equipped on my PMC

let alone fired

[versed valley]

Good gun but you cant get good ammo unless you craft or have pk4

[elfin elm]

or find it

usually you can scrounge enough up FIR to run bolties, but not semis

[true timber]

best ammo i can access for 7.62x51 is bcp fmj, so should i just give up on it and run with an ak 7.62x39 or mosin?

[elfin elm]

generally yes, though if you find m80, m62, or m61 in raid just keep bolt actions in mind

[versed valley]

With bcp fmj its not worth it

[true timber]

or just generally speaking, which calliber should i roll with on lvl 2 traders? is it even worth trying to mod m4 and use bad ammo on it?

or these other 5.56 guns like aug and g36

[versed valley]

545pp, 762ps and 12ga magnum

[elfin elm]

5.56 kinda underperforms at lvl 2 traders

but the guns have some good cool factor

[versed valley]

And for crafts sp6 and apm, maybe m80

[bold kernel]

I had some guy load a mag of PP into my class 4 poor guy died to 3 bullets of BT

PP is dog shit

[versed valley]

Its the best you can get at level 2

[elfin elm]

36 pen makes it okay at lvl 4 but pretty weak beyond that

[bold kernel]

Nah 5.45 BT barter exists

[versed valley]

And pp can ben class 4 decantly

[versed valley]

You cant get much bt

Only 60 rounds per reset

[elfin elm]

it's kinda very expensive for a tiny amount of bullets though isn't it

[bold kernel]

there is 3 barters

[bold kernel]

Worth it imo

[elfin elm]

on a gun that encourages spraying

[bold kernel]

Unless you a broke ass

[elfin elm]

just top load bt tbh

[bold kernel]

Broke ass

[true timber]

if im not very rich should i go for suppresors anyway? talking about 5.45 or 7.62

or just buying a good muzzle should be enough? whenever i watch some streams everyone is using a suppressor

[elfin elm]

suppressors will probably be at least double the cost of a muzzle break on an ak

[versed valley]

For aks generaly muzzle brakes are better

[elfin elm]

and iirc suppressors usually have worse stats on aks yeah

[versed valley]

Only tushonka one is worth it

[elfin elm]

until you get to LATE game

[open apex]

Muzzel flash in dark places

[versed valley]

Cuz most of the time they use 556 guns or top tier 545 supressors

That being hexagon supressor

[true timber]

ok so to sum it up, dont bother with 5.56, 7.62x51 is usable with m80 and above, 7.62ps or 5.45pp is probably my best bet now

[elfin elm]

so at your lvl you should go for either the DTK-1 comp or a flea market suppressor really

DTK has better recoil and better ergo

[elfin elm]

correct

or going into left field with other variety guns

[elfin elm]

but those are the meta rifles

[bold kernel]

All of em are worth it

[ruby karma]

which is more expensive? the supressor or the scope

[true timber]

yeah, but i dont want to kick myself running a cool looking m4 and not being able to kill someone unless i headshot them

[versed valley]

Scope

[ruby karma]

ty

[elfin elm]

by about 20k or so

[versed valley]

Scope is ~50k and supressor is ~20-40k

[elfin elm]

cms is cheap btw if you were gonna put it back in

[open apex]

replace hunting maches with that laser

[true timber]

looking at ammunition stats, so basically i should expect everyone is now using t4 armor?

[elfin elm]

roughly yes

though lower lvl guys will still have 3 sometimes

[shell hull]

yea i never bother with t3 unless i go shit loadout or scav killing

[elfin elm]

and it's harder to get lvl 4 and up helmets

btw, generally

[true timber]

i unlock ragman 2 in 1lvl

[elfin elm]

if you can pen lvl 4 armor you'll usually have really good luck with headshots

[true timber]

right now i think i can buy armored vest t4

[elfin elm]

wait for ragman

cheaper and more consistent availability

[shell hull]

ragman has a few ones yea

well the price of rigs is dropping anyway on flea

[elfin elm]

there's been a lot of armor pricing nerfs this wipe

[true timber]

well, i didnt think about checking flea for armors

[versed valley]

You can buy some class 4 from flea

[elfin elm]

but the MMAC and 6b3TM-01M armor are staples

4 is pretty much the highest lvl armor you'll find on flea

I think all 5 and 6 got removed completely

[shell hull]

yea

[true timber]

should i focus on getting armor that also covers stomach? or just use what i got and it doesnt really matter

[solemn flare]

anyone know how to get this foregrip i cant get it

[shell hull]

tier 5 shouldve stayed, just higher fees honestly

[solemn flare]

its for gunsith 6

[elfin elm]

depends on the map you play really

[shell hull]

find

[versed valley]

Now thor armor might be better as its basicly the same as 6b3tm but as a standalone armor and since 6b3tm now costs 70k it might be cheaper on flea

[versed valley]

Mechanic barter

Its in one of the gun build he barters

[shell hull]

oh yea mb

[solemn flare]

level?

[shell hull]

l1

[versed valley]

1

[solemn flare]

i cacnt buy it

[versed valley]

Its at level 1 mechanic

[true timber]

so smaller maps like customs i should go with thorax and stomach or the other way around?

[shell hull]

ye its out of stock

[versed valley]

Its usually sold out tho so wait for a reset

[elfin elm]

comparatively mmac isabout 80 or 90k for the barter, and trooper is about 90-100k

[elfin elm]

you got the idea

any map where smgs and shotguns might target your stomach

where the stomach covering armor

cus flesh damage bullets tend to be focused towards short range

[solemn flare]

it isnt

[warm stratus]

hey, i cant find the info for chemical part one. can anyone help?

[elfin elm]

thor is around 75k, so yeah it might finally be worth

[warm stratus]

i know its in the train but other than that i can find it

[versed valley]

It is but most likely is sold out

[elfin elm]

tucked next to a crate again the wall

you can find juuust the right spot to grab it

[versed valley]

Mpx mqb

[solemn flare]

A SHIT you gotta buy the mpx and extract it from there

[elfin elm]

it's on the mpx bruv

[solemn flare]

i got it now

[true timber]

aight, i already asked about it couple days back, but doing jaeger quest to kill scavs during the night without nvg, is customs the best map to do it? im kinda afraid that if i run with flashlight around everyone will see me from 300m

[solemn flare]

thanks

[warm stratus]

There?

[elfin elm]

pretty much yeah

[warm stratus]

i cant see it there, the wiki says it has random spawns in the train. although i do remember it being there last wipe. (im not new but still needing help)

[elfin elm]

wooden crates on the side of the car closest old gas, on the side of the crate closest the edge of the map

[elfin elm]

ah, look for a white slip of paper then

[warm stratus]

i think they updated the quest, i just found it

[elfin elm]

forgot task items can move a bit now

[warm stratus]

thx for the help tho

[elfin elm]

ye

[warm stratus]

yea, most are documented by now tho

[elfin elm]

nice

[versed valley]

It has been chnaged now it can spawn in 3 spots in the cart

[elfin elm]

customs, woods, interchange

all decent, can't remember if it's map locked at all

[true timber]

can do it on all maps except factory

[versed valley]

Customs is too dangerous, i would run woods

[elfin elm]

do you know woods well?

woods is really good for it, but also really easy to get lost

[true timber]

sometimes i find it hard to find out where i am, but usually after a moment i can get around with compass

[elfin elm]

so I'd give interchange a second place mark since it's easy to get around and has fairly obvious scav spawns

customs kinda has scavs all over, so if you're sneaky breeky you can have some fun there

[heady dagger]

JUST DID MY FIRST EVER EXTRACT

[elfin elm]

but expect mixed results on that map

[heady dagger]

as scav but still

[elfin elm]

nice bruv

[elder ledge]

nice!

[heady dagger]

how do I get this loot in my stash

[elfin elm]

first step in the right direction

[elder ledge]

drag it in

[true timber]

i read somewhere that interchange inside the mall is pretty much the same during day and night, is that true? 😄

[elder ledge]

also before you run scav always makesure you got room for all the loot.

[elfin elm]

yeah

it's pretty dark

[heady dagger]

got an AK-47M with 2 full mags

[elfin elm]

and also very dangerous

[heady dagger]

and a quest shotty

[elfin elm]

pretty solid start

[heady dagger]

just the one but still

very happy

[elfin elm]

aight, I need sleep

[versed valley]

74m*

[true timber]

didnt play much on interchange, used scav to find food for jaeger, but i had to turn other profile on my monitor because i couldnt see anything inside that mall

[versed valley]

Also dont kill scavs as a scav @heady dagger

[heady dagger]

yeah that one

[elfin elm]

use post-fx

[heady dagger]

I did a couple of times in my first few runs but i try not to

[elfin elm]

basically what it's for

[elfin elm]

lost scav rep when you do scav on scav violence

[heady dagger]

what does that do

[true timber]

ill give it a try, interchange is probably the only map that i had to change monitor profile

[heady dagger]

the Haul

[elfin elm]

gives you a worse scav loadout, makes your scav timer longer, makes other scavs eventually shoot on sight, and makes car extracts for your pmc SUPER expensive

[heady dagger]

minue the things above the bag

[versed valley]

I sent you a vid link explaining it all in detail

[heady dagger]

ah ok so very important

[elfin elm]

game regularly gets that dark, keep that in mind

[keen viper]

What maps do the two Far-Forward components spawn on? Any map besides Labs? I hate Labs.

[elfin elm]

if you intend to do any decent amount of scav running yes

[heady dagger]

for now yeah. Not that I really have gear fear but because my PMC doesnt really have anything

half an hour between runs is tough tho

[drifting jolt]

yes

[analog fulcrum]

yeah, fence rep is scav rep btw, so u can check it there, u start with 0.00(or 0.20 if EOD), goes up to 6.01

[elfin elm]

I though it was 7.00

[versed valley]

It goes up to infinite but after 6.0 it doesnt change much

[heady dagger]

mine might be bad i killed 3 or 4 npc ones for their guns

[elfin elm]

ah, that's waht it was

[heady dagger]

-0.46

[analog fulcrum]

at 6 you also unlock the special fence store tab

[elfin elm]

you get tasks from fence to get rep back if you get reeeally low, and just extracting as a scav gives .01 each time

plus you get scav rep from car extracts as your pmc

[heady dagger]

so i have to extract 46 times to get flat again lol

[versed valley]

Last wipe i was at about 8.0 rep

[elfin elm]

if that's the only way you grind rep yeah

[drifting jolt]

kill traitor scavs for a bonus

[elfin elm]

a car extract starts at .25 gained I believe

[versed valley]

Yes

[elfin elm]

I'd google that though

[analog fulcrum]

one car extract or coop extract gives 0.25, then goes 0.13(or 0.12) then less and less, the number isseperate for each single one on each map

[heady dagger]

how do I move my shotgun to the quest item inventory

[drifting jolt]

you cant

why would you want to though?

[heady dagger]

because its for a prapor thing

it had a yellow tick

[drifting jolt]

you cant move weapons into it

only quest specific items

[elfin elm]

go to prapor's task menu

[heady dagger]

for the Debut quest

[elfin elm]

that's where you turn in tasks

[drifting jolt]

@heady dagger just turn it in to him...

[heady dagger]

so new i didnt know how

boom one of two

[elfin elm]

it's cool

the UI in this game is weird

[plush cloak]

Anyone up to take me on my first run ever?

[drifting jolt]

all good bud

[true timber]

i believe skier sells single fire ak for both calibers, should i consider using them or go with the ones that prapor sells?

[elfin elm]

they're great starting out, but the option to have the funny button full auto is a life saver sometimes in panic situations

[true timber]

tbh its difficult for me to control full auto guns in this game

[drifting jolt]

hip fire brah

[true timber]

before i can say that i got it somehow under control it feels like i already emptied half of the mag, maybe i just dont mod them enough to lower recoil idk

[elfin elm]

the spray recoil in this game is insane

plus unmodded guns aren't helping

[heady dagger]

yeah AK recoil is nothing like IRL

[drifting jolt]

70 recoil is ok, 60 is good, 50 is great, 40 is amazing, and 30 is a laser

[true timber]

ill take a look on these auto aks, because i think akms or w/e is called has like 100 recoil, dont think i can lower it a lot without spending a fortune

[elfin elm]

also, the lower the firerate of the gun, the less visual recoil and easier to control it is as well

that's why an m4 and an ak with the same recoil stat perform differently spray wise

m4 has 800 firerate

all aks either have 600 or 650

[drifting jolt]

fucking trying to negotiate with factory runners

'let me plant my gunpowder, then youj kill me'

was 10 seconds from placing the 3rd, and someone fucks me up through the door

[elfin elm]

nah bro you don't understand

factory PvPers are SPITEFUL fuckers

[true timber]

when i was doing stirrup quest i saw a lot of people with navy seals gear on factory

also tried getting bolt action rifles kills from less than 25m there, but gave up on that for now 😄

[heady dagger]

any of you guys in oceania

[drifting jolt]

oh for sure... not even a response

[crystal oracle]

Bro this is off topic but this guy just randomly asked this. Idk if hes trying to scam me or what

[elfin elm]

.> hmmmmmm

[crystal oracle]

Its a very odd question like 💀

[heady dagger]

maybe he just wants to play with you\

[crystal oracle]

Surely he would of asked first "Would you like to play together"?

Instead of instantly wanting my username

[heady dagger]

maybe

[drifting jolt]

fuck that guy lol

[crystal oracle]

Its just odd, I dont know this guy at all xD

[crystal oracle]

You played with him before? or?

[heady dagger]

scavs more kitted than my PMC lmao

[drifting jolt]

nah, just seems shady af

[drifting jolt]

kedrs are great

i ❤️ running a kedr with like 8 or 10 mags lol

[heady dagger]

is that the smg

[drifting jolt]

yup

[crystal oracle]

Yeah aha he does

[heady dagger]

are any of you in the australia area? I want to go get that note for jaeger but i havent played woods yet

[drifting jolt]

unfortunately no my man

[woeful spruce]

There is a server especially for the australian community in #regional-communities you might have more luck there

[undone oyster]

yo i just reinstalled tarkov after a while. am relatively new to the game itself. i was wondering if anyone wants to play some duos and essentially gimme some coaching n just hang out?

[drifting jolt]

could have better luck in #pvp-lfg try that too

[woeful spruce]

What server are you on?

[undone oyster]

EU

[woeful spruce]

I might hop on in like 20 mins

[undone oyster]

ye i wanted to try here first, cause i mostly prefer a Sherpa

[drifting jolt]

you have to sign up for Sherpa services

most dont just offer

[undone oyster]

oh wait a second i remember there was an actual sherpa thing right

[elfin elm]

yeah, though it can be some hoops to jump through

[undone oyster]

i mean the thing is i dont really want a sherpa to just teach me, but also maybe just find a buddy to hang out with n stuff who can also gimme some advices

just trying to find someone who has knowledge in the game that i vibe with

[drifting jolt]

correct

[drifting jolt]

i hope you do, friend. you seem pleasant. lol

I would, but im a solo player

[undone oyster]

thank you (: also ye no worries, im sure ill find someone in the long run

unless you wanna give duos a try w me

[drifting jolt]

i dont wanna give duos a try with anyone lolz

[undone oyster]

LOL

[drifting jolt]

of my 4k hours, about 3800 of them are solo lol

[undone oyster]

fair, tried to push my luck

[drifting jolt]

i barely will play with my friends

[bold kernel]

how do u cope solo? im finiding it rough asf

[solemn flare]

Wich 60 round mag can i place here?

[drifting jolt]

it's more challenging, therefore more rewarding int he end

[undone oyster]

mh issue on solo is that i get mad anxious n shit abt sounds

[bold kernel]

trust me im just running customs and im getting banged left and right atm

[undone oyster]

like when i talk n chill w someone its a lot more of a vibe rather than stress

[drifting jolt]

It happens... map knowledge and timing comes with practice, youll get better

[bold kernel]

do u suggest ratting>

[drifting jolt]

Oh i totally get that... personally I hate talking in raid, that's usually why i hate it with other people lol

[drifting jolt]

I dont suggest ratting, as much as I suggest being opportunistic

Dont push fights, but if youre near people fighting, potentially 3rd partying is always fun

but never take fights where youre unaware how many and where they are

[undone oyster]

understandable! each to their own really (:

[drifting jolt]

@bold kernel Retreating is always a viable option

[solemn flare]

anyone knows where i can get a 60 round 5.45x45 mag?

[drifting jolt]

zb014 bunker on Woods, or craft them in the Lavatory lvl2

[solemn flare]

Thats the AK one i need one for gunsmith 7

[bold kernel]

also im finding the scavs literally one shot me to the head?

[drifting jolt]

well you can just flea market one of those

buy you need 3 Found In Raid

[woeful spruce]

Thats 5.56

[solemn flare]

a yes

5.56

[woeful spruce]

You can get those on raiders on reserve for example

I found 2 already just in weapon boxes but you gotta get lucky

[solemn flare]

i cant find it on flea only the 100 round one i tried it but i acnt

[jagged arrow]

ok guys. Im not a new player but this is something that is obviously something for new players. How / where did you find your sledgehammer for the gym? What's the fastest/most efficient way to find it/on what map?

[solemn flare]

i found it on woods on the military camp

[woeful spruce]

I found 2 in 1 raid at the corridor behind goshan

The one with toolboxes and shit

[jagged arrow]

you mean usec?

[jagged arrow]

behind goshan meaning outside?

[solemn flare]

no here

there

[jagged arrow]

ah ok

[solemn flare]

i foudn 2 there

[fringe steppe]

Hi good morning, Can someone tell me what a good beginner weapon not too expensive to run? I am level 18 and not wanting to dump 100k+ into weapons each time I die. Is there any go-to, cheap-ish setup?

[jagged arrow]

what are your trader levels?

[elfin elm]

Quite a few

[fringe steppe]

Level 2 prapor, peacekeeper, and therapist right now.

[elfin elm]

He has most to 2 by 18

[jagged arrow]

so probably SKS with PS ammo from prapor is your safest bet

[fringe steppe]

Thank you very much. i am going to look into that right now.

[elfin elm]

Mosin is good as well

[solemn flare]

gunsmith part 7

[frail comet]

What’s best level one full auto

[elfin elm]

And you can start using 7.62 and 5.45 aks a bit now

[rain wing]

bro?

[jagged arrow]

klin/kedr for accuracy. ppsh for fire superiority.

[elfin elm]

Full auto gun at lvl 1?

[frail comet]

Level 1 traders

[elfin elm]

What infiltrader said really

Remember though to aim foe the legs

Always unarmored, and those guns have terrible armor penetrating rounds

[jagged arrow]

yep. Though with kedr and klin you can aim for the face if you are confident enough in your aim

ppsh you pretty much always wanna go for the legs

[versed valley]

Ppsh with lrnpc

Klin and kedr are good but lack 30 rounders at level 1

[cosmic coyote]

why do people put ammo into their safe container?

[versed valley]

Cuz its expensive

At least most ammos you should use is

[drifting jolt]

tree saves my life like a cartoon

ope

wrong clip... https://streamable.com/o59rrb

there we go

[cosmic coyote]

i havent learnt what ammos i should use yet but i just use the best penetration ones

[drifting jolt]

just pay attention to their damage, and pen, and any inaccuracy debuffs

[cedar bay]

why cant i turn these in

[cosmic coyote]

(at trader lvl 1)

[drifting jolt]

pretty sure you need the camo one? unless im dumb

[jagged arrow]

I think army cap is green with camo

[cedar bay]

both of those are called army cap though.. the quest should specify what color if it matters but oh well

[woeful spruce]

Goshan has a food main section and behind it theres an acess storage coridor running along the back of the mall but inside it, it has shelves on both sides with technical loot

[jagged arrow]

ah got it man, alright, time to scav it up

[drifting jolt]

yeah, that's why im confused myself

[sinful crater]

can I use a scav SV-98 for fishing gear?

[jagged arrow]

yes, afaik any durability works for the quest

you don't need any optics on it, so if you have them use them for something else

[sinful crater]

nice, thanks a bunch

[brittle canyon]

strip it down to the bare gun

4x1 and not heavy

they still accept it

[limber vale]

i am not new second wipe level 35 but i need someone who can open sani office for me since they key is basically not availeble

[cyan portal]

tarkov shooter pt 2.... do the leg shots have to be kill shots?

[limber vale]

no they dont

[true timber]

no, you can get all of them on 1 scav

[heady dagger]

First attempt at tetris

including all my guns

[limber vale]

you can middle mouse button on the ak and kedr to fold the stock, will save even more spots

[dawn geyser]

Doing good Hype =p

Weapons like the SKS can condense into a 1 line if you remove the mag

[brittle canyon]

keep the first 6 (stash 1) or 8 (stash 2+) rows empty to use as a work space, overflow management or for dumping scav loot

stack all your bags
bag stack and cases immediately below the empty workspace rows
sell anything traders sell for money
sell anything worse than what traders sell for money
sell anything that you’re not using within 10 raids
sell all scav guns

[dawn geyser]

Weapons larger than a 2x3, if you remove the mag/pistol grip, you can save space as well.

[heady dagger]

SMOOCH

[heady dagger]

well apart from the MP5, pistol and the SKS I bought the other two are scav guns and i figured my ADAR would be the best ive got atm

[brittle canyon]

no m855 at pk1 so adar is worse than trash

it was trash before it’s now even worse

[bold kernel]

I only have 7.62 PS and Veprs what do I do

[brittle canyon]

run 7.62 ps and veprs

[dawn geyser]

You're not giving 5.56 enough credit

It's not that bad

lmao

[brittle canyon]

what, 55 fmj is suddenly good now?

[bold kernel]

Vepr recoil strong

[dawn geyser]

855

[brittle canyon]

yea no 855 on pk1

[bold kernel]

Can't stay on target can't aim

[brittle canyon]

it’s a semi just calmly twotap

[heady dagger]

I havent shot it yet, but I kept it because it has a sight and like 5 full backup mags

[brittle canyon]

mags store 30 bullets in 2 squares

ammo stacks store 60 in 1 square

[heady dagger]

the ones I have are 1 square

Gen M3

[limber vale]

you got sani key by any chance?

[dawn geyser]

[limber vale]

damm

[brittle canyon]

worse than what traders sell for cash

=sell

[heady dagger]

alrighty then

[rigid light]

is there even any reason to keep both of those around

[bold kernel]

You just keep 1

[neat spire]

hey I wanted to download Tarkov, but the website doesn't seem to be working is it just for me or is it also for broken anyone else?

[flat hawk]

anyone trynna play and do tasks and stuff?

[royal bloom]

hey everyone could anyone help me out with Eagle Eye mission? I sort of need an escort I know where the drones are but I just keep getting killed by players from god knows where and I dont think I have enough roubles to keep on trying to do this quest solo

[flat hawk]

ill play w you if thats what your asking

and i got roubles

3 mil

[royal bloom]

yeah that'd be nice just a quick raid to do the quest and I'm out of your hair

[flat hawk]

ok

and your not bothering me imm bored ash

[royal bloom]

allright dm then?

[bold kernel]

can someone help with operation aquarius i dont have the dorm room 206 key

and i cant find it

[fierce coyote]

I still cant do any interchange quests, I keep getting gunned down by squads, and no one on this server wants to play interchange

Please send some tips

[limber vale]

what quest>

[fierce coyote]

Any

[limber vale]

take em slow

[fierce coyote]

Like what, I keep getting gunned down by squads, I cant even enter the mall

[limber vale]

wait for 2 or 3 mins in a bush before entering the mall then all people who need to be are already in so you can get in aswell

or get a team together

[fierce coyote]

I literally said no one wants to play interchange, I have been trying to get people into interchange for days

I have lost millions in loot in there

I have waited

still meet squads and die

[digital sable]

I recommend night raids and hole in the wall extract for any and all interchange quests

[fierce coyote]

Hole in the wall?

I just tried a night raid, was met by a 4 man squad

[digital sable]

No back pack extract near Goshan

[fierce coyote]

Its same same

I dont get to even do the quests the extracts dont matter

[digital sable]

Well that’s Tarkov haha— gotta die enough times that you learn the map flow so you can avoid the squads

[fierce coyote]

"Avoid the squads" they are everywhere

[limber vale]

is there a quest with this shotgun? since i got 3 in like 2 hours from killing pmc

[digital sable]

Eventually you’ll get a lucky run where you encounter nobody and you’ll get to progress

[fierce coyote]

1 quests

in 3 days?

That doesnt sound like its fair

Why wont it put me in a raid with other solos

[wispy sphinx]

does akmsn count towards punisher pt 1?

[digital sable]

but you can eventually learn where players go and when such that you can give yourself good odds to survive

[limber vale]

ye

[wispy sphinx]

alr ty

[digital sable]

That’s not Tarkov. Tarkov isn’t intended to be fair on solo players

[fierce coyote]

I kill people, thats not the problem, its that theres always more than 1 in the squad and I die because I cant look everywhere or heal while they push

[limber vale]

kill 1 rotate kill 2

[fierce coyote]

Cant rotate when youre stuck or have to heal or anything

[limber vale]

pre Painkill and know the map that well that you will go places you will have a exit plan

[bold kernel]

kill 2 at once

[fierce coyote]

I prepain

its just theres more than 1 everytime

I havent seen a single solo in interchange

[digital sable]

As a solo you can’t expect to win versus a squad consistently. It can be done, but you either need really good positioning, an element of surprise, or your enemy misplaying.

If your goal is to task you should aim to not fight them in the first place

[fierce coyote]

I cant "not fight" they just come

and since sneak is broken right now I cant even do that

[sterile veldt]

then you go away

[limber vale]

that is a good word mr goldfish

[digital sable]

You can disengage and if you kill one the others will hesitate to chase recklessly giving you time to get away

[fierce coyote]

They always cover the exits so its not possible to run away most of the time

[digital sable]

but simply sometimes you’ll get ambushed by a squad and just die, it happens

[limber vale]

you fighting jezus?!

[fierce coyote]

It happens 20 times in a row?

[digital sable]

That’s just solo life

[digital sable]

If you have 20 raids in a row vs. coordinated squads, you must be entering hotzones of the map at peak times of activity

You need to lay back, loot the sidelines, and let the squads do their business and go

[fierce coyote]

I have died in different places in the map every time to a squad

[sterile veldt]

is there a map where i can get the 40 meter bolty kills and find some pcbs, I was thinking interchange but I feel like it's too close combat

[fierce coyote]

I dont care about loot

I just want to do these quests

[dawn geyser]

You need to stop holding shift

Use ears

As a solo you should be utilizing sound

[fierce coyote]

Yes while sneak is broken

and I cant even sneak around

[limber vale]

avoid 22.00 till 10.00 since people are kill greedy there due to chumming task

[fierce coyote]

how am I supposed to do that

and the sounds are super bugged in interchange

[dawn geyser]

Don't tell me you can't sneak around when I can get in the middle of 3 man squads

lol

[fierce coyote]

I never have any idea if they are above or below

Based on pestily sneak is broken and doesnt work

[sterile veldt]

then expect them above and below

[digital sable]

You can sprint around near a squad because they just think your sound is a teammate

[fierce coyote]

I cant look into many places at the same time

[supple panther]

No one does

[limber vale]

then make sure some sides are closed by either a wall or like boxes

move from cover to cover

[fierce coyote]

Thats so situational most of the squads I meet arent buddied up in a 3 meter radius

[supple panther]

So just run around like a mad man, repositioning after every shot

[sterile veldt]

or just dont run interchange for a bit

[fierce coyote]

I have went into interchange couiple times a day hoiping I can do some quests

but everytime its the same story, squad, dead

[spiral pine]

Alright boys. I quit the game when inertia released because the game is bad. But I came back because the game is still bad but I have no self control. - Would anyone be able to buy me the MP - 133 stock and Muzzle break for the Gunsmith 1 quest? Or shall I just cry? ❤️

[rain wing]

is this decent on the sag?

never ran it

[digital sable]

You have reached a pivotal moment of your Tarkov career where you will either learn to cope with your skill issue (either by improvement or mentality shift) or leave the game— many have walked this path and either course is fine

You’ve really gotta learn to see every death as preventable (or at the very least mitigable) or else Tarkov is just a miserable experience

[fierce coyote]

This is extremely shit advice

[sterile veldt]

not really u should expect to die like every raid

[livid glacier]

Death is living in tarkov. Thats the game

[digital sable]

Well the practical advice everyone has provided is just met with “tried it, didn’t work, died to squad 20x in a row” 😅

[fierce coyote]

Yes expecting to die is different than "quit the game lol"

[livid glacier]

There are options he said

[sterile veldt]

if you can't accept that you'll die over and over again then yea you'll prob quit anyways

[livid glacier]

Quit are adapt to it

[fierce coyote]

More shit advice I am not interested in quitting

[livid glacier]

Get used to it

Desensitize yourself

[distant notch]

So my game keeps stuttering and frame drops so if anyone can help me

[livid glacier]

Try disabling binaural audio on larger maps.

[distant notch]

I did

[livid glacier]

Hmmmm

[distant notch]

When I join into a game it says connection error

[livid glacier]

Get a i1000 and rtx 6900

Best ever

[distant notch]

Frfr

-_-

[livid glacier]

Frfr

Even that will struggle with eft

[distant notch]

What do u play on

Specs-wise

[pine skiff]

[still laurel]

[dawn geyser]

[pine skiff]

[still laurel]

I am full!

[dawn geyser]

Throw screenies in here
We'll tell you where you are.

[still laurel]

I dont know how

I dont have time

[dawn geyser]

I'm at work, I'm not hopping in a call

Sorry

[distant notch]

Just loaded into an offline raid I’m getting 120 fps

[dawn geyser]

Offline raids do not stress your computer the same was as online matches do.

[distant notch]

But that’s with ai off

[distant notch]

Yea

[sterile veldt]

shit i forgot about the mine field at usec camp

[dawn geyser]

Rip toes.

[sterile veldt]

im just gonna walk backwards and pray

it worked

[pine skiff]

yeah thats offline

load into streets as a scav, thats the true potato test

5600x , 3060ti and 32gb of ram and i was getting something like 50 fps

[cobalt bolt]

Then there is something wrong with your pc not the game 😅

[sterile veldt]

if you wanna improve your fps just kill all the pmcs in your lobby 👍

[distant notch]

I mean I run 1660 super with 16 gb of ram

[dawn geyser]

i9 9900k / 3090 32gb ram 45-53 FPS

[pine skiff]

its called 1440p / 4k

[distant notch]

I’m about to get 29 fps

[sterile veldt]

i was reading the chat and ran into another mine field D:

[dawn geyser]

I run at 4k as well.

[pine skiff]

i like my settings jacked all the way up

[cobalt bolt]

I5 13600K 6800x 1440p 120fps 😅

[dawn geyser]

[dawn geyser]

New gen CPU is why

[pine skiff]

lmao you have a better cpu and gpu

i need that 5800x3d

apparently its about a 20-30fps gain on lighthouse compared to a 3800x

[distant notch]

Just loaded into woods

Online raid

Bro my frames r dropping pls help

[pine skiff]

woods aint representative of performance, unless theres fog. The painful maps are reserve , lighthouse and streets

watch an optimization video for .13, easiest way to fix things

[distant notch]

I accidentally bought 260000 dollars worth of heals oopsie

[dawn geyser]

Wh-

[sterile veldt]

6/7 of these dudes were at the stupid scav bunker

i have no idea why there were so many

also that first kill completed my 40m kill quest and it was almost exactly 40m

[rain wing]

NO

MY GAME CRASHED AFTER A SCAV RUN

I HAD MY LAST ISKRA

[quasi thicket]

Anyone willing to run shoreline with me for scrap metal quest? i need to mark 3 tankers would prefer to do it with someone familiar with the map

[rain wing]

PLEASE NIKITA DON'T

[sterile veldt]

happens to the best of us 🙏

[rain wing]

YESSSS

IT'S HERE

[livid glacier]

1660 super i 7 11gen 16 gb ram

[sterile veldt]

what should i sell to jaeger to get the 560k spent

[distant notch]

I bought 51 cheeses

[sterile veldt]

is he like skier where it's pretty much anything

[distant notch]

Instead of 5

Because I thought the ‘1’ was a bug

[sterile veldt]

this quest sounds so fun

[distant notch]

Ong I my friend has screenshots

[outer prairie]

melee weapons and rigs

[quasi thicket]

I have that too lmao. never ran across him once yet

[distant notch]

Never mind he doesn’t

[outer prairie]

id try to get it done passively while focusing customs quests myself, 102 rounds of m995 is pretty cool

[sterile veldt]

ive seen him once in my entire time playing tarkov

[outer prairie]

also funny story last night, i was tryna get my last 40m kill with a bolty and was willing to go mia for it, got it with 2 mins left and didnt have time to extract

[livid glacier]

Where is the introduction letter for jeagar's quest?

[outer prairie]

last thing i hear near customs gas is what i think was reshala’s unique voiceline, first thing after i get out of raid is a daily from therapist to kill reshala

[sterile veldt]

does S/R count for scavs as well or just pmcs

[outer prairie]

all stats are seperate, you can check scav stats while you’re on a scav run

[open apex]

anyway i can add a flashlight to a rfb?

[frail comet]

Better off looking up a video for it but it’s next to the plane on woods under a tree stand

[dense blaze]

I recommend searching “map genie” and using the woods map. It has a search bar you can just type what you need in and it will pinpoint

It’s to the left of the crashed plane

In the little wooden thing

[distant notch]

I just spent 15 mins loading into a map just for me to be disconnected

[sterile veldt]

what in gods name was bro wearing

[distant notch]

Well you only shot him once

[sterile veldt]

in the head where he absorbed like 97% of the damage

not like it matters it was just a scav but god damn he was shit

[distant notch]

Always wear a helmet kids

[digital sable]

Helmets are great when your enemy shoots low pen ammo

also helmet ricochets are a thing so you can even shoot someone with a good bullet and just not kill vs. a crappy helmet

[cosmic palm]

Hey looking for someone with Tarcone office key to come and do a raid with please

[minor laurel]

should I sell my compass?

[whole thistle]

What ammo did you have

[cosmic palm]

Well If youre new and dont know the maps it can be useful tbh

[sterile veldt]

ps gzh 762 39

prob just bounced off his goofy ass helmet

[whole thistle]

If it ricocheted it would be like 2 damage

He probably found a cool helmet somehow

[cosmic palm]

prolly just that ww2 pos helmet

[scarlet garden]

🤨

[whole thistle]

What

[scarlet garden]

😶

[limber phoenix]

for decontamination service (Therapist) why wont it let me start the quest?

[open apex]

level 50 requirement no?

[limber phoenix]

[scarlet garden]

im level 50 that quest was easy

[limber phoenix]

do you need to be level 50?

[scarlet garden]

yes

[limber phoenix]

[scarlet garden]

[sterile veldt]

[scarlet garden]
