Escape from Tarkov Ammo and Armor Charts created by NoFoodAfterMidnight 🙌
they keep moving things around to adjust the gameplay and make stuff harder/easier accessible , or even remove some stuff from traders like they did recently
what can i buy from flea and sell to mechanic for a bit of quick money rep?
only need about 50k
you can also just buy something off mechanic for 50k
25 scav headshots with smgs any suggestions? currently trying mp5 with sniper scope on woods
buy 2 headset
pp-19 is cheap and effective
yeah i did 🙂 thaank you
and what just run into scavs, kill and hope you headshot?

if you can, try to line up the shot nad not just hope for the headshot
you got about 2 seconds until he starts blasting once he sees you
the saiga-9 from skier for ~9k would be an option
do items to upgrade your hideout need to be found in raid?
and what map?
since they removed razor scope from jaeger whats now the next best thing to buy from a trader?
pilad best scope :3
wowzer
whats in the room
I need some space in my stash, I dindt know what to save and what to sell
I have all that, and LOT of medications
What shoul i Sell, like, sell AI-2, Esmarch, bandage oor anything lie that?
i only get 500k if i sell it for a mill, should i barter it
or sell anyway
Maybe barter but it goes for a mil now?!
I bought that shit at 500k thought i was overpaying lmao
If I swap my bayonet melee for a antique axe and I die in raid can another player take the axe or no? I found it on a scav in my last run.
no they cant take it if it's in your knife slot
Ok ty
I finished "Out of curiosity" but Loyalty Buyout and No Offense haven't shown up for skier and prapor, is that normal?
Restart your game
Can't lose anything in the knife slot except for cultist knife
Antique axe is worth a good bit though you could sell it @fallow cobalt
Can anyone post a fortis tac grip on flee for me to buy?
I Need the Tplugs and CPU fans for the Hideout
Or they sell in the Flea market, I am trying to reach lvl 15 to be sure of what to sell
So i went in naked to a raid to try to level my vitality with a grizzly in my pouch. gained like 4 points of vit and after the raid it went back down?
should i sell this
do hideout items need to found in raid?
idk what to do with it cus i cant equip it
so uum. i took a ump into customs..... 8 scav headshots 1 USEC PMC. i think i did pretty well. first time ive ever got above 3k exp. i got 5k
and got some nice loot
what map do yall think is the best for car repair?
interchange
Why the fuck do you lose so much energy when your not even moving?
no
no
im trying to do gunsmith 5, and im pretty sure i followed everything on the wiki but my recoil is too high. what have i done wrong?
if u do that version u need an rk4 or something
it worked!! thanks so much
How can i get surgery kits if I'm too low level to buy them outright should I just carry a lot of pain killers?
can be crafted at med station for quiet cheap
Ok I'll try that
Anyone trying to help two noobs get used to the game? I have about a half a wipe of playtime and my buddy is brand new.
best way to get used to the game is to just play it. i still suck and i dont know a lot 350 hours in
learn every map one by one and keep a copy of the map up if you can on second monitor or phone or smth
where are some good palces to scav
im like really really broke and factory isnt making me much
thing is like 80k on flea
fire

Reminder for @dawn geyser: <#beginners-assistance message>
Set <t:1674236842:R>
fatass pmc
yo im level 13 anyone tryna run it?
looking for someone with san tape key im desperate i have disease history keys i can open for you
explain to me exactly how hes still alive
same with this one
with the top one i had hit him 3 times before too
hows he not dead?
that scav 1 tapped me right after tanking a headshot from mosin with no helmet point blank
same just happened to me
i understand about ammo types and stuff. but cmon point blank shot gun shell to the face
just BS
Hit reg or hat ricochet
Hat can't bounce it's not armour
either you missed or server netcode got you
I think you missed the actual head hitbox
either that or you were already dead from server POV
scavs can tank headshots. its a bsg moment. that's all that can be said.
So shot didn't go through
scavs do sometimes spawn with higher HP but I don't think it can eat a mosin bullet in either case
There’s a difference between stop and ricochet
the ushanka literally cannot bounce a bullet it's not armour
but im pretty sure there can be client side / server side disagreements where you hit a scav on your screen so you see blood but the server didnt see the same shot
same shit different day either way the bullet isnt in his brain
All cosmetic items have chances
Only things with an explicitly stated ricochet chance can bounce shit
Or the hit reg crazy bad
It’s like saying a guy died of car crash is same as suicide…. Same thing guys dead💀
its contextual
my point is that isnt doesn't matter how the bullet isnt in his head. he should have died
what nonsense are u guys even argueing about
My point is he could have ricocheted but not tanked it
If you want to keep argue, just forget what I said
you hit his hip once then missed twice
yeah i noticed that later
btw it looks like you have noise on, def turn it off
it makes it a lot harder to see
its one of the check boxes at the bottom of video
its just like a static filter over the whole screen
just aimed a little low on that one, you can hear him coughing from the stomach shot
it didnt actually hit him its just some weird desync between what you see and what the server sees
desync is really weird in this game
nop
Yes?
@whole thistle didn’t know you still play this game
They don’t but hats do
is it hidden somewhere
im guessing ur thinking of the bomber beanie
but there's no other "hats" like that
yeah
what are euros used for?
mainly items case, solar panels, and mentor
theres also a couple random things mech sells for euros
ok
pure meta
also
can someoen show me labsd
dual penetration
just a random barter item
ok
who wanna run labs
wut is the best map to get gear on
cus ive been running customs and wood
woods
and havent got great stuff
what is the fastest map to scav in and out quickly except for factory?
once i have this from delivery from the past and go abck into a raid if i die do i lose it and need to collect it again?
factory is fastest
Yeah
Can anyone help me get the pocket watch from customs?
probably streets or reserve if you really dont want factory but i think factory is the safest if you go camera bunker door
but there is no loot on factory
theres a decent amount 80% of the time
streets and reserve are good for loot then
tons of green boxes, 1 weap box, dead scav, tech box
just find a 4/5 factory voice chat and make sure they're from your region, makes that quest 800x easier
if they shoot you first
or if they are being hunted by other scavs
you get fence rep for killing traitor scavs
ik
oh wait nvm
yeah just be chill most of the time, even if they shoot in your direction and dont hit you u should just run
nto worth negative rep
thats bad
for xtra loot
its fine if u are desperate for loot and have none
cus some have rare melees
but its cancer to build fence rep
like a rare axe
yes
im alr down like 77 rep
cus i kept getting shot at
by scavs
thats y i do it
yeah if u hit one u are a traitor and every scav will attack you
thats why u dont kill any
because then youre forced to kill all of them and lose tons of rep
not worth it
i hit f1
and talk
u cant expect everyone to know how to play
same
the best way to not get shot is to just do nothing and go about your business
actually better than telling them youre friendly
also factory is the newb trap map so a lot of people there probably dont even know about karma
cant run if im ina corner
anyone with max peacekeeper help a brother out
Sup
i need a part from him to complete a gunsmith quest D:
Ferfrans CRD 5.56x45 Concussion Reduction Device
Took me like 20 mins of spamming refresh, left click and Y to snipe one of those

riperino
But if you really want to save yourself the trouble that I had to go through
I suppose there's something I can do for you
👀
happened to me earlier, people kept posting some grip for 150k cuz there were none and i sniped it at 20k
yeah i had to get an eotech for 400k
i didnt have to do anything crazy like that
your crazy act is enough payment for me to see
that you have gone through enough to deserve this
is pier light on shoreline fixed?
lmfaooo
this shows how many PMC can be on the map or how many players (pmc and scavs) ?
PMC
Not sure about scav
scav spawns in when a pmc dies
so when a pmc die, no other pmc can join back ?
nope
oh ty thats good to know
slowly building an m4 from gear i find in raids. this any good so far? only have LL1 traders
Not gonna be able to see through that scope
not bad for ll1
when i take of the front iron site thing the gun is red??
you mean the barrel?
its the gas block on the weapon you need to find one that isnt a iron sight+gb combo
EVERY TIME I FIRE ANY AUTOMATIC WEAPON MY GAMES FRAMES DROP AND ITS UNPLAYBALE
gonna have a guess that there isnt any options there at LL1
windham
Gunsmith 1
im aware
did you change from nvidia to amd
yes
No you're not
i uninstalled the old drivers and got the amd ones
same problem here, i had to make sure every single nvidia driver was uninstalled and then only amd was up also dont enable vsync
i thought i did too but my brother is computer expert and i guess i missed some files its stupid but that was the fix for me besides that not sure
how can i check to make sure all of my nvidia ones are gone
i think my pc is just shit
what about mine ? everything is FIR, even the gun (i have a suppressor but its not on)
knew this game was too much for it idk why i bought it
what gpu and 16 or 32 ram
🤷 ik nothing which is why i was asking lmao
any m4 gas blocks im able to buy at ll1 trader so i can see through a scope
The recoil is horrific and that sight will make it way worse lol
tiny hk
Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64-bit) ,16 GB,AMD, Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core Processor ,ASRock - B450M Pro4, AMD Radeon RX 6600 HP 24mh , KINGSTON SA400S37120G (120.0 GB)
@dull storm
I tried it on offline factory, its not that bad but still
If you use a diff sight it will feel a lot better
ur gpus better but id say try to get 16 more and delete the rest that are hiding and that gb will help in every game
What's a good way to get secure flash drivea
whats a sight (im not english 🤫 )
like a scope
The thing you look through
oh yeah the scope
that one makes the recoil feel worse its kinda bugged
not sure if my mother board has enough slots. should i buy 2 more 8gb and 1 16gb?
I thought theres was a difference like the sight is the metal thing on the gun and the scope is, well, a scope
noted
people call the metal ones iron sights
yeah sight is just a general term for anything that changes the way you see the target
yeah cheaper and will still help the game out forsure
anyone wanna help me do some customs quests?
ok because i thought you had to space out the ram sticks on your MB(my friend told me that not sure if its true)
ive got 4 slots and theyre all near eachother i dont think it damages the pc youre good
you have to use slot 1 or 3 or 2 and 4
thats if you only have 2 sticks
can i not have 4 of them in
yes you can
can anyone help me? i got the game last night and have no idea what im doing and have too little of an attention span to watch a bunch of youtube videos
doesnt matter that much i had 2 8gb i just bought another 2 8gb
so thats the thing you want me to remove or the front one ?
this one
a different one would be better
join the discord
?
oh
sherpa discord they can help you
yeah
its specifically the hhs sight thats messed up
pk06 lol
holy shit yes the difference is huge
dont have flea market yet, cant have much
i just ordered 2 8gb ram sticks that are exactly the same as the ones i have in now (same brand)
that is completely fine, what speed is it?
tbh, amount of ram matters much more than speed
do less Scavs spawn at night?
not really, they have reduced aggro though
cus can't see shit
👍
Hey. is it worth spending 400k to complete "An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away" quest?
yeah, 400k isn't that much
just keep in mind it rewards skill lvl on your pmc
so the later you wait to buy it, the more worth it is
since skill lvl gets harder over time
up to you
When did you complete the quest?
tbh, I usually just use it when I get to the quest for quick xp and lvls even though it's not the most optimal thing to do
I play fairly casually
Gotcha! Thanks!
anyone one wanna team up. im coming back to the game learning the mpas 🙂
Night time shoreline scav killing Untar/AKM, HMU

- IS THE VECTOR .45 ACP UNDERRATED IN ES...
yes
should I go into light house as a level 19 ?
have heard that most super high leveled players go ther so im a bit scared hahah
how does buying stuff from fence work?
He sells what is sold to him
He buys your items for low prices and sells them himself for high prices
so 0 durability stuff is common then?
Yeah
okay
One of the only reasons to sell to him is low durability
Just downloaded! Can anyone help me thru my first raid?
no
youtube will help you
dm if you still need a sherpa
To capture and share your gaming highlights, download the Outplayed app on Overwolf
someonee get him banned
How do you unlock m993
does headshotting a scav with a mosin level up sniper skill more than a body shot?
you dont
Damn how do you get it then
find it
Ah
anyone know how to get the tank battery iridium and virtex mcables for secure container
military parts spawn locations
scav on reserve and walk around the tanks
reserve is the map with the most common ones yeah
👌
I have seen one tank battery in a wooden tech crate in skeleton on customs. and had a buddy spawn with a tank battery as a scav
reserve always has military batteries
It's a barter so just buy on flea
true but if he doesnt know where a tank battery is. He hasnt done prapor's mission yet
You have to farm it off bosses or find it in ammo spawns
Oops I did it again
Why is my life a meme
did you make them believe, that you were more than just friends?
I swear ive seen something about hot swapping to a sidearm when you run out of ammo, is that a real thing?
I do it a lot yeh
no money i obtain by real meanahs
How do you do it
finnigan tings
Nah just bumbrushed them on facto after blacking their legs
Is it just the normal pistol keybind?
yes
yeh
I have it on the 1 key
and just click that instead of R or RR if im in a pinch
RR? You haven't unbound it? 😮
And its actually like a faster pull out and aim then normally pulling the pistol out?
I have but its easier to say RR so people get it

It's really big yikes that the emergency reload is only really faster, due to the artificial delay 😂
ikr xD
Not sure what you mean here
Pulling out pistol is faster than reloading for sure.
Its out and ready to fire pretty quick
Plus people get thrown off cause they think you are going to reload and you are ready to fire
Yeah i was asking if there was like a "hot swap" feature in the game that made you pull your pistol out faster when you are out of ammo
Like in combat
Not that I know of. Just habit and muscle memory
Gotcha
if your gun jams you can swap to pistol nearly instantly
do i still need to invite someone to scav
what? you cant group up with anyone if you dont invite them or they dont invite you...
i mean how the scav queues were bugged
is that fixed
like waiting a long time?
if its part 6 you have the wrong foregrip
part 14
how the fuck are you on gunsmith 14 but are only lvl 13?
?
oh, dont talk about that here bud
good idea
gets you banned if im not mistaken
anyways lol
that was a quick scav run, spawned in front of 3 beefy boys on Streets
guess its just bugged or sum since...
on wiki it says sighting range need to be 500??
yea your short sighting range
so ive just been hoarding and got my second loot box now, is there anything I can sell to traders? I dont have flea unlocked yet
Sell some of the Mparts, a few of the 2x1 manuals
can sell the 1x2 hoses
sell the alkali, the diariy
What…
You’re gonna make him lose so much money.
why not start using some in the hideout i would keep most of what you have though. this is my first wipe but im lvl 20 now
Did you sell anything yet?
they keep going down in price... so no
those hoses are expensive and hell need them
Never gonna go down to trader price
for cheaper
He doesn’t have Flea…
they sell like 16 or something to trader
Exactly
hes got 2 mil tho so he doesnt need to sell
hes basically rich for pre flea
i only had 1mil at lvl 15
i did miss that no flea part
my bad lol
each time ive cracked a mil ive bought another case
a hoarder's lifestyle
im at 6mil and an inventory thats is almost completely full
need another junkbox though
i need thicc cases or weapons ones but i dont know when they come
from finishing up quest lines
i just always forget which questlines lolz
this was me at the end of last wipe... and this is by no means a lot...
ive seen people with 8+ thicc items cases
but now you cant sell them on flea sooo
so you gotta barter for them
i think there's a barter for the thicc items? unless im dumb... which is definitely a possibility
bro i was just proud to get my med case and docs lmao
yeah man, baby steps!
thicc i think is bit coin and something else
weapons maybe?
I bought hideout and violet keycard, Im super broke now - But have nearly maxed hideout 🤷♂️
never posted the link lol
but this isnt even crazy hoarding compared to the top couple %
it's not yours, it's just your turn to use it
lmao
I HATE LOSING GEAR
everytime i die i want to quit the game and i feel lost for like 5 minutes on what to build
it's not my favorite thing
when i doubt, take a double barrel shotty
always a great time
well imo
The better the gear you bring, the higher is the chance you survive
@undone flower i have level 5 and 6 armor and im running around with lvl 3 so i dont lose it hahah
That’s just gearfear
im scared that my instincts are not where they should be and id waste my good stuff early, im lvl 22 first wipe. ive played other fps stuff but i feel like i play this too slow sometimes and i dont think im where i should be on pvp stand point @undone flower
People will get better ammo later in wipe, better use it now and tank a few more bullets
you got killed by a pmc or scav most likely, leave the game and check "overall" you probably need to heal up as if you died
It will just kick you out then
thats just server stuff, i disconnected twice yesterday and that was the first time all wipe
Could be too high ping or an actual dead server
what's the difference between the mosin infantry and the infantry carbine?
i got back in both times
alr
ones shorter
the barrel length range and recoil and ergo
does headshotting a scav with a mosin level up sniper skill more than a body shot?
no
well atleast i know to leg them first
Best way is shoot legs 2 times and then head
it has to be my game cause I tried again and it disconnected again
How much ping are you on?
You don’t have a VPN
It’s most likely either ping or a server that just doesn’t work
no not yet
How do you get to the lighthouse island without getting shot by scavs?
Scavs?
You don’t btw
Unless you hold an item
I don’t remember which one, it’s orange and says Bip once in a while
Programmed Transmiter
You have to program it in hideout after you get it
Actually? 💀
Its a craft i am sure
But lightkeeper tasks are even further than kappa so good luck i guess
How do you get out of kostin on streets there's only a window exit and for whatever reason my guy can't get out
tried jump crouching and laying prone
am I screwed? I literally just spawned in this bugged out pmc spawn
nm
Yea you need to accept a quest and then the craft becomes available
hi, im doing the mission where i need to survive 5 minutes with dehydration, i complete the quest but i died going to extract by a pmc, now its shows as done but i need to extract. I need to repeat the whole thing and extract or only extract and done?
just extract
should i ikeep the flare gun looks like traders dont buy for much
Sorry for another
Snapchat sceeenshot but
Same friend evasion armband at lvl 10
learn to take screenshots for the love of fuck
lmao!
Can someone help me level up?
at least youre honest lol... try #pvp-lfg and join a 3 or 4 man and tag along
just ask if they dont mind helping you quest along the way
but join a vc of a map you have quests on obviously
I literally played interchange for the first time
Died in 30 seconds
that wil happen til you learn where people spawn
but on interchange you can run left or right and pretty much find someone at least half the time
I've been dying so much bro
These past few days
I've got such sick loot and just die
Fastest way to unlock nvg?
well you dont need them on interchange lol
I always play either shoreline or factory
by the time i need NVGS (for quests), i already have that stuff unlocked
sorry 😦
woods is a great money maker
I got really lost
i feel you lol
how the hell do you do delivery from the past, am I supposed to run with a heavy or light kit
Weighed like 50kg with my sick loot and ran out of time so I rushed and was killed by a scav
been to woods to get some quests done, but i still get lost in that map
run a map a few times offline to get familiarized with a map
on eft wiki it says "Headsets amplify low level sounds like footsteps while suppressing impulse noises, for example gunshots. The various models offer different audio profiles."
Every exit is like u need a key or a scav or something
youre supposed to join a 5 man squad on factory and plant it in safety
Can I get weapons from enemy scavs
of course
but does that also mean it differs in sound quality? like one can hear more sounds much better than others can?
idk who can I even trust truth to be told
So why shouldn't I make it easy and lots of enemy scavs
Easy money maker
For offline
they cant TK purposefully in this sub, if you have a clip, they get banned
plus others are doing the same thing
Sure i guess
i did it to plant the 3 gun powders on night factory
@dreamy moon you dont have to run around with them, just tell them what youre there to do, and get out after youve gotten some exp
My karma?
stop killing scavs brah
I got fed up of people insta killing me
wot
Can I play with youy guys?
so you team kill every scav you see?
Most
Don’t
literally what is the point
What’s your fence rep?
-1.6
I'm too stuck in it
You can still fix it.
So why not just carry on
have fun getting shot at by scavs over and over and over
what in LFG? sure I guess?
These quests are too hard
What quests
you literally just exfil to gain scav rep
also whats the best headset in this game?
Higher car extract prices.
Longer scav times.
Worse scav loot.
Worse scav case loot and price.
I can continue
I don't knoiw anything in this game
i mean, you asked how you were supposed to do it.. i answered...
It is too much of a time commitment
I literally headshotted someone whilst they were looting and they spun and insta flicked me
Always ask 🙂
Scavving is great for newer players, like you.
Easy money maker and ways to learn new maps
I wait 35 minutes
Or so, to be able to play as one
Because of your scav rep.
Mine is 0.80 (a bit above), i think i wait 15-20 minutes
It's just gonna keep getting worse
wut
Yes, 1.6 is easy to get.
fix it and it won't get worse
I have -1.6
I know.
You need 1.6 to get it to 0.
i do not get how scavs are insta killing you
And then you can build from there
Scavs don't shoot you unless you teamkill them over and over
anybody have sanitar's tape key can take me there? i need it for a quest
AI Scavs shoot you if you have -6 scav rep or you killed a friendly scav that raid.
i thought it would be sooner than that
yeah then I do not get it
all you have to do is literally walk to exfil and you get scav rep
it's not difficult
It’s still 160 scav raids lol
less if he shot PMCs
Do some car extracts, Co-op with a pmc if you can.
If he can’t kill scavs he’ll have a hard time killing a pmc
As a scav
Damn
can someone tell me how the damage works? I got shot two or three times by this cheap ammo and I died. I have a screenshot of the character
I played factory night raid and got decent loot
Killed a couple scavs
With just a pistol
this "cheap ammo" will 3 tap you unless you have good body armour
so do I died when my limb reach 0 or is it overall health pool reach zero?
It ain’t about the price.
It’s about the pen and damage on the bullet
who can help me with some shoreline tasks
you will die if your thorax gets blacked out I'm pretty sure
!wiki health
Health is a Physical skill in Escape from Tarkov.
Overview
Physical skill
Is that the skill, lemme find a site that tells you a bit
black limbs have a chance to get you killed but not always
Does it mean if you have black that even a pistol could one shot you in that region?
That’s not true…
It’s when either thorax or head dies.
By a shot*
If it bleeds out you won’t die (bugged)
oh I misread the ammo as 5.45 not 7.62... I see the damage is better
But can’t fix it again.
As you’re meant to die ofc
7.62x39 is far better
Mostly any way to take damage. - that gets dealt to the thorax or head
so I died because thorax turned black?
upper torso yes
thank youj
that is my method, I use HP ammo and aim for legs
Use buckshot and aim legs and then watch them die lmfao
but uhh yeah otherwise just load military FMJ since they're meant for defeating body armour
I actually didn’t know searching and using items were slower with a broken arm.
I thought it just made it hard to control guns…
It doesn’t.
When your legs die (same as stomach, arms) it’ll deal damage to thorax.
When your thorax hits 0, you’re dead.
that doesn't make me wrong, shoot the legs enough and it will kill
Shoot stomach and you kill faster?
sure if you're fighting an unarmoured PMC
Or hear me out.
Just shoot head and thorax 🤯
body armour
Body armor doesn’t protect head
7.62 PS will kill enough
In head
And if Altyn try and get head-jaws
I mean sure I try to aim for upper torso
Hey do player scavs automatically call out or are players using the voice wheel or whatever
there's a mobile app called the tarkov battle buddy that can give you an exact number of bullets it will take to kill you while wearing specific armors
it's a really robust app really
that sounds like exactly what I want thank you

battle buddy tells you the results of the ballistics, but sometimes you gotta check the ammo chart's data to figure out why or how it came to those results
after unlocking flea, should i always use the surv kit rather than cms?
like is it worth the value
you get triple the amount of uses + the utility of being able to repair breaks
at the cost of an additional slot of space and a slightly higher market price
the biggest reasons people choose to use CMS kits over surv12 kits is the one slot of space, and the use time
personally, I'm a surv user
but if you run an alpha, or perhaps even a beta case it may be better to use cms
you follow?
what do you mena by
repair breaks?
like bones?
oh yeah it repair fractures
but repairing fractures with this kit is kinda inefficient no?
both costwise and timewise
twotap
surv is cheaper per repair and lets you skip carrying splints
the reduced max health penalty will also sometimes let limbs take 1 more hit before blacking again
however cms as a whole is super cheap and can be easily thrown out for a valuable, while surv you kind of need to keep for the very last drop to justify the price
also repairing simple fractures with surv takes like 20 seconds
damn
what is this balance lmao
literally perfect inbetween
oh yeah grizzly repairs fracture too right
hmmm
grizzly is by far the most efficient healing of any healing item in the game
both per slot and per ruble
im trying to choose my setup
but it also usually means it's staying in your case for forever
afak over salewa
isn't afak really expensive
more expensive, but better space savings
also i have 10+ saluwa in my inventory
worth
so i gotta make use of it somehow xdd
keep in rig as main heal
thats a good idea
for waht it is you can also just run two ifak instead of a salewa
ifak's are pretty cheap
kinda
afak is more healing and more efficient bleed stops
hence the bigger price hike
hmm isee
historically though the crafts for ifaks are very money efficient and you can often crafts bunch for yourself, and even still have enough to sell for a profit
additional food for thought
ok i might just use what i have for now and if i run out
ill choose what to decide ig
also im prolly gonna keep a split in my rig
also im thinking of maining UMP and mp153
any armor/helmet/rigs recommendation?
what lvl?
i need lvs i think
By lvl 15 you should have just about everybody to 2 except mechanic I believe
Is character lvls were the only factor holding you back
Check ragman for sure
At ragman 2 the go to rigs are the rat rig (lvl 4 6b somethinf) and mmac barter
Or either of the ana rigs on flea for slightly better armor, and a little more space inside
dude
i jsut dced as scav with fat loot
cuz of dumb server
and with 1 second remaining
i died infront of extract
like
Well if you had 1 sec left you wouldn't have had time for the extract timer
But sometimes you gotta take the Ls
like is this normal tho
Tarkov and life be like that sometimes
i don't have internet probs on other games
This isn't other games
that is true lol
Tarkov doesn't have nearly as many servers as other games
Cod wpuld have like hundreds of us servers, tarkov has like 15
god damn
also i checked the trader lvs
It's a continued complaint by community that they don't expand server count each wipe
mechanic's lv req is 20
and ragman's is 17
also i have skier as 1, but i didn't spend any money on him so that is prolly why
i have nothing to buy from him tho
okok
Also sell shit you wpuld to ragman or mechanic normally to him for a lil while
It's about a 10% earnings loss
But worth it for loyalty lvl
I am a complete noob and how hard is this game i just cant survive any raids at all i mean there is just always someone waiting for you to move around anyone got any tips i get am going to die alot but there must be something i can improve on please any help would be greatly excepted.
Im looking for someone to get started whit this game.
-If you want to guarantee profit, you can always enter the cycle of scavving and offline-PMCing while your scav is on cooldown. Scavving can only make you money, you can't lose anything. Offline is great for learning maps, cache runs, and getting good at killing scavs and scav bosses. This cycle is great to simply build up lots of money while learning - which makes online PMCing far easier.
-Hipfire is exceptional, using a flashlight and hipfiring is a hugely important mechanic to start practicing. Get a good feel for it in offline mode and you'll thank yourself later.
-Stop running everywhere - sprinting is very loud and gives you away, it provides a lot of opportunity to ambush you. Whenever you're in high-traffic areas, be very disciplined about when you sprint.
-Have a goal in mind every raid, plan a route and try to stick roughly to it. If you notice a route failing 3 times in a row, change your route. This makes it easier to keep oriented and focused in-raid
-Pick your fights, don't be afraid to retreat - it often gives you a better chance to hit back later.
-Only right hand peak if you have a choice. It exposes far less of you than peeking left.
-Ammo is more important than guns, but you need to know how to use what ammo you have. High damage vs High penetration is a critical difference - use an ammo chart.
-Positioning is everything. In combat, frequently reposition, this is just one of the reasons map knowledge is critical and should be built and practiced ASAP.
-Learn from every death, there's almost always a lesson, and if you can learn that lesson the death is a lot less frustrating.
-Most importantly, have fun with it - don't be afraid to take a break if it's frustrating you too much.
is tracer ammo any good
i think its bad cuz it gives away position
i have 5.56x45mm m856a1 ammo and its crazy expensive
contemplating on whether i should sell this ammo or not
Usually other things give away your position more obviously, tracer is pretty irrelevant
Thanks guys jesus the game looks and feels amazing i just want to learn 🙂
am addicted already i come from playing day z thinking how hard can it be guess the jokes on me lol but thanks guys taking the advice gunna scav a bit and practice maps
I run everywhere lol but thank you for the tips going to implement them and practice 🙂
Like shep said, other variables matter more than it being a tracer
M856a1 ia actually really good for m4
M62 is marginally better than m80
But t-45m is marginally worse than ps
oh ok
Whether or not something is a tracer has never been important
to me at least
Maybe very long range sniping
It does come with the option of using for utility at the bottom of mags though
Which ammo?
for some reason i have some igolnik in my inventory
but only 30 of them so i might as well just sell em
Best pen 5.45, but not enough damage usually
Cus low fire rate
I can count like 1 time where an enemy’s tracer was the main factor in locating him and it was suppressed long range with no audio on my end
Or top load mags
i don't use ak's because im bad with em lol
just gonna main shotguns and umps
even if i mod them
still bad on my bad hands
Cpst to performance they're pretty near the top of the pack
like i can't control a slight recoil atall
It's worth a deep dive to practice and learn
maybe later
for now, im gonna BLAP BLAP BLAP with my 153
heard flechette is really good on it
but i just found out they are crazy expensive
craft
its just kill 6 players in the main building on factory any floor
the fuel can is effectively free if you burn it down to 0 while crafting something else
don't i need that one huge 100 fuel tank to craft like
60 of em?
also is skier LL2 even worth it
all trader levels are
1 big fuel 4 blue gp
- you can make either mag cases or grenade cases in the lavatory, which runs with the generator off.
that 4500 guy is losing money
Some people will sink some money for that lovely 3slot flea
wrong item to farm flea rep tbh
Maybe so, but there's nothing else on offer probably at the time they was putting it up so maybe shooting their shot
where can i find good gun builds?
180k for the set & I don't know what the fee will be
Best thing to do would be experiment. If you're a low level accessing attachments for high ergo or low recoil can be incredibly expensive and almost not worth it imo
it would be a good choice but i have zero knowledge about attachments xd
i want to find a decent build and roll with it to see if its good or not
I can't finish the 40m no scope woods quest, why is woods filled with maxed out kits mfs
Stick around scav house and checkpoint area
checkpoint area?
what the FUCK is that beeping on resere
i got mine done at sniper rock
Checkpoint area is in between the lumber yard and outskirts
just make yourself on top of the rock, lie down, and look down towards the warehouses
Nearby where the marked circle is at
Bunker hermetic door extract
never beeped when i use it tho
quick question, i know some items are often worth to buy from flea and sell to trader, atm im doing that with olo vitamins, what are the other items for that purpose?
any good armor i can buy from flea?
do you have ragman LL2?
not yet
In this point of the wipe, everything under lvl 4 armor will be paper. So i suggest save your money and play what you have, and you can buy lvl 4 armors at ragman LL2. And you dont need to kit yourself everytime or else you could go bankrupt pretty fast.
okok
Any good shotgun builds ? I have flea and ll2 traders
do you prefer close range or 10-30 meters?
10-30m
MP-153 with Choke or GK-02, cheap scope is the tactical ring. has a good rate of fire and up to 8 shots.
or
MTs-255. very accurate, only costs 21k rubels, tactical ring on that, holds 5 shots. i suggest double action as fire mode
Should i use any specific ammo?
MTs-255 with target ring and Magnum is the ultimate head remover
10 MOA with 1 pellet headshots to idk like 50 meters
flechette vs armor, other buckshots have close to 0 pen, so magnum > express
I run the MP-153, throw a flashlight and choke on it with magnum or whatever shells you prefer.
Okay guys thanks for help i will try it out now
good luck 
And because it’s so long, most people won’t take it, always get it back in insurance : )
I use Kirasas and Press armor for level 3, all repair decent and can help a bit early on from scavs majorly
why did snipers at woods car extract shoot me while i was trying to extract?
i was at the extraction point with the timer ticking down
Need help with Prapors tasks on woods (the convoy and the USEC camp)
You're not supposed to go to the car's sides
one more question do scavs often kick open the doors like the fed cause i honestly just crapped me self or is that a player scav
bruh
why are the ks-23 worth keeping again i just know their hard to get
Go past the car and you’ll be shot, if your waiting on it I’d just wait under the bridge area so players don’t spot you
Knee remover
like better than magnum?
The KS-23? Oh you mean the leg remover.
i see ok
696 flesh damage exactly
Rat runs on reserve/factory is where it shines, i suppose on labs too
Spot a chad, and TAKE THINE LEGS OFF

KS on labs is funny
Spot anything that's alive you mean
also do I target weeklys that are easy to do
or ones with good rewards
hammers are irrelevant
that one is easy
Irrelevant? Always sell decent on the flea
can go to goshan
they sell on flea??
ohh
wow they put them up now i remeber early wipe they didnt have that
It’s dropped a bit, I used to sell for 150k
But fir green stim is great,nixor lenses are a little annoying to find
any tips about exiting tarcone towards crossroads?
Sad it's herring and not humpback or something
every time i go crossroads i get camped and its getting annoying
Herring is expensive
For that weekly I’d go to the undergroun train bunker with all the food crates on reserve
like any angles to peak or is it just rip bozo
Sometimes goes for 40K lol
better idea than interchange ty
Take other extracts instead of crossroads
ill actually go do it rn
can i buy ruples with like euros or dollars
Interchange isn’t bad at all, but there’s also tons on food crates on reserve for a scav and most people don’t loot food crates,
interchange is worst map in the game imo
yeah but its fine if i go crossroads from the road but the little crack in the wall where u can cut the time taken is always camped
