[snow jewel]

np 👍

#eft-announcements has all the info

[sinful monolith]

meta ak or meta mdr ?

[vestal narwhal]

Is tarkov going on sale today after update? anyone know?

[flat cipher]

should be pretty soon

big national holiday in russia I think

[vestal narwhal]

is their a code for the % off or just automatically?

[flat cipher]

it'll just be on the website yeah

[sacred bay]

when did patch begin?

[sage lotus]

2 hours ago

expected to finish in 2 more hours, realistically probably 3

[pallid pumice]

its a good patch though

better grouping system

no more invisible PMCS FINALLY

[brittle canyon]

they aren’t fixing all of it

just most pf it

I guarantee you it’ll be fucked still

[brittle wren]

at least i never met an invisible pmc till now

would be frustrating

[sage lotus]

yeah, we'll have to see if they really fixed it

[wet sky]

Mdr is cheaper alot cheaper

[elfin elm]

not to mention "meta mdr" doesn't even really need meta suppressor or meta foregrip to be good

you'll still have the same recoil pattern

[sage lotus]

tan mdr is the rfb of 556, cheapo gun with few modding options, just slap a grip/sight and you're good to go

[sage citrus]

why comunity of tarkov is one of the best in terms of non toxicity?=))

[sage lotus]

with the ability to also use a tac device

[elfin elm]

it's a 50/50

the toxic kids are super toxic

the punishing nature and big learning curve tends to lend towards lots of people being helpful

[brittle wren]

what to sell to peacekeeper? or should i just buy dollars to gethim lvl 2

[elfin elm]

intel items

not including intelligence folder

[brittle wren]

so for example items you find in computers?

[elfin elm]

when you double click a barter item it will tell you what kind of item it is

[brittle wren]

ah ok

[elfin elm]

ssd, slim diary, diary, flashdrives, and a few other items are intel items

[elfin elm]

buying dollars are also a decent idea though

[hardy fox]

Sell dairy’s s dairy’s and items like what you can buy off the flea for roubles and sell to him for more in dollars

[orchid crystal]

any recommendations on these settings ?

also is their a limit on the times you can change your name in game ?

[brittle canyon]

head bobbing zero

fov as low as you’re comfortable with

auto ram cleaner and physical cores do different things on different rigs so you’ll have to experiment

[orchid crystal]

i see thank you

[brisk drift]

how do u lean just a little bit ?

[frigid finch]

does bin audio still suck?

[floral musk]

im playing streets of tarkov and i have 200 ping and im warping like damned, what can i do? its only in streets map

[floral musk]

PRESS alt then a or d

[sage citrus]

what i should sell ( i have standard edition)

[warm shuttle]

good budget guns for lvl 15?

[floral musk]

RED TO FLEE, YELLOW QUEST/CRAFTING GREEN TO TRADERS @sage citrus

[floral musk]

AK/UMP/ADAR

shotguns

damn all guns are pretty good 😄

but ump is like 100k rubles

so is adar

ak little bit over if you want good ak

[sage citrus]

@floral muskLOVE you

[brittle canyon]

get prapor 2, buy 545 pp and bt, buy rpk, grip sight muzzle, done

@sage citrus

also shotguns

[misty moon]

bro why evertyime i try to load into a streets game my game just crashes

[misty moon]

bro ump is like 25k

or do u mean modded

[idle folio]

that map is just unoptimized

[wet sky]

Try to keep ram cleaner off but when you notice lag turn it on save and then off again. That makes it do its magic without the cons

[proper laurel]

Is SapSan a raiders name ?

[flat cipher]

does it have a report button next to it

[proper laurel]

Nope

[half finch]

yes

[proper laurel]

I just got killed by what I thought was scav

Speaking Russian so thought it was a normal scav

[flat cipher]

if there's no report button then it's probably a raider yes

[proper laurel]

But it looks like a raiders name

I thought raiders always spoke English so didn’t think twice

[flat cipher]

no report button means AI

rogues are always English speaking

raiders arent

[half finch]

raiders usually have normal looking tags

scavs always have some crazy shit

[brittle canyon]

rogues always speak english

raiders use both usec and bear voicelines

bosses have unique voice

[fallow obsidian]

If I want to team up with a friend, is it ok if we are both on different factions?

[flat cipher]

pretty sure you can find a list of raider and rogue names on their respective wiki pages @proper laurel

[half finch]

yes

[fallow obsidian]

alright

[half finch]

factions don’t affect anything besides starting gear and cosmetics

[fallow obsidian]

what do you reccomend then for starting gear

Bear or USEC

im inclining towards bear because ak xD thats all

[half finch]

both have eh weapons for starting really

[edgy plover]

Bear have better starting weapons

[flat cipher]

and worse clothes

[edgy plover]

Subjective

[flat cipher]

and voicelines

[half finch]

true

[flat cipher]

usec drip go crazy

[edgy plover]

I prefer BEAR drip

[fallow obsidian]

can you switch factions later on?

[half finch]

usecs get chad puffer

[edgy plover]

No

[half finch]

yes but you gotta restart your whole account

[fallow obsidian]

okok I think im going for bear

[edgy plover]

Good man

I like their starting weapons because of how easy it is to mount an optic

Ekp from Prapor goes on everything they get

[fallow obsidian]

what is hideout

so much has happened to the menu since i got the game

[past river]

!wiki hideout

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Hideout

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Hideout

Description

The player can build and improve various Hideout modules, such as the power generator, water collection system, ventilation, medical treatment facility, intelligence center, heating, bathroom, and other advanced modules.

​

General data

Type

Other location

[past river]

all the intel you need on it there

[fallow obsidian]

okok tysm

is there anything worth buying before I go into a game

or should I dive straight in and hope for the best

[edgy plover]

I’d start in Woods or Customs
Woods is harder to learn but safer.
Customs is easier to learn but more dangerous.
https://mapgenie.io/tarkov
Use these maps - they'll look cluttered at first. Hit "Hide All" on the left-hand toolbar, then scroll down and only toggle on "Extractions" and "Locations". That'll give you a pretty good look - feel free to toggle on some loot options as you go

Head into a practice mode on one of those maps, toggle on some AI scavs, and try to get a feel for the map, movement, gunplay, scav killing, etc.
When you're ready - try to scav into one of those maps and actually get some loot out.
Then you can take your PMC in and try to do some quests or loot or simply survive.
Good luck - you will die, try to have fun with it.

[past river]

practice mode the first few times and look for a map of the game map your playing on

aside that have fun

[fallow obsidian]

what about the traders, I dont have to worry about thta just yet?

[half finch]

accept your first couple quests

from prapor and therapist

[fallow obsidian]

im gonna go into a practice game first

what is the goal of the game really

what do I want to acomplish

accomplish j

[edgy plover]

Totally up to you

[misty moon]

could someone explain what inertia is

[warm shuttle]

so i wanna learn new maps...what maps should I completely avoid learning

maps that are not worth running at all

[fallow obsidian]

an objects tendancy to remain at rest

until acted upon

[edgy plover]

No maps fall into that category

[misty moon]

like in tarkov

[fallow obsidian]

hehe

physics student here

[misty moon]

i keep seeing ppl talking ab how they miss old movement n stuff but i didnt play back then

and how " inertia ruined the game" or something

[edgy plover]

Means your movements have momentum, you can’t stop and turn on a dime and A D spam

[flat cipher]

pre inertia was way more fun

[edgy plover]

People liked the faster free feeling movement, but it made the game way better when they added it

[flat cipher]

infinitely more fun

[fallow obsidian]

what map do you reccomend to practice in?

woods, custom etc

[edgy plover]

One of those

[misty moon]

like i watched an old pvp montage of this chad on labs a few years ago it looked so fun

[warm shuttle]

what maps should I learn first then... i know customs, factory, and woods

[edgy plover]

Follow what interests you

[fallow obsidian]

do I want to avoid urban places?

or forests

[edgy plover]

Up to you

[past river]

you want to avoid pixels

[warm shuttle]

streets and interchange seem really cool to me...but streets I have trash perfomance and Ive heard interchange isnt very good anymore

[past river]

those pesky pixels be killing me all the time

[fallow obsidian]

where will I find loot?

rn it doesnt matter

[edgy plover]

Try streets, see if you can run it

[fallow obsidian]

cause im going into practice

[sage citrus]

scavs get a power buff if they are low? last day i played scav on lighthouse i was low with black leg and stomach

[misty moon]

is that why u cant really like strafe left n right

[flat cipher]

yes

and why being heavy as fuck feels awful

[sage citrus]

and my scav was insane faster

[past river]

swing your mouse left and right and it helps a little

[fallow obsidian]

how should I organize my inventory>

[warm shuttle]

i just got to lvl 15...is it possible to run streets without getting destroyed?>

[edgy plover]

Auto sort until you get more cases

[edgy plover]

You’ll get destroyed learning any new map

That’s step 1

[warm shuttle]

thats true

[fallow obsidian]

rn its on starting position

is that fine?

tbh with this game I just fear running into a vet with combat experience who casually plays this game and slays

[half finch]

dying is part of the game

[edgy plover]

That will happen repeatedly for a long time

[warm shuttle]

can i gauge how well i will run the map as PMC if I go in as scav?

[fallow obsidian]

but dont you lose all your stuff if you die?

[edgy plover]

Yes

[half finch]

yeah

[fallow obsidian]

...

[edgy plover]

Everything equipped to your character

[fallow obsidian]

hmmmm

ok so I dont want to go fully strapped

when I played a long time ago there was a cooldown on PMC, still a thing?

[brittle canyon]

you want to bring efficient gear

[brittle canyon]

scav cooldown not pmc

[half finch]

only on scavs

[edgy plover]

That never was, there is still a cool down on scavs

[fallow obsidian]

how do I know what gear is efficent?

[brittle canyon]

it performs well for the price

[fallow obsidian]

rn I only have default gear

[warm shuttle]

any good Streets maps I can follow?

[brittle canyon]

sell the mres and m4s

[fallow obsidian]

Im Bear

[brittle canyon]

sell iskras they aren’t fir

the aks are ok

sell the pistols tho

[edgy plover]

Why? Food isn’t easy to come by for new players lol, let this guy play a bit

[fallow obsidian]

whats in my stash is safe right?

or does that come with me

[brittle canyon]

you don’t need food tho

[edgy plover]

No it’s safe

[half finch]

keep everything you got and just run them

[brittle canyon]

except for quest

[half finch]

he’s not gonna learn what’s good and what’s bad if he just sells his gear

[fallow obsidian]

how do I go into a practice game?

[edgy plover]

You clearly don’t play with many new players. They definitely need food

[brittle canyon]

they just raiding too much or what

food is on scav kills and duffles

[fallow obsidian]

what is vodka for xD will that make me invincible

[brittle canyon]

double click to see the effects

sell vodka

[edgy plover]

Escape from Tarkov - PMC - Choose map and time - enable practice mode and play with settings - ready up

[rough ember]

I believe it is labeled offline mode.

[warm shuttle]

any good streets keys I should look out for? or even buy?

[edgy plover]

Hasn’t been for a while

[brittle canyon]

check 15

[fallow obsidian]

im going woods, is that fine for begginer?

[edgy plover]

For sure

[fallow obsidian]

what should I do in practice, shoot people?

[brittle canyon]

you need to learn customs and woods for early questing

[fallow obsidian]

get used to the map

[brittle canyon]

open mapgenie in second monitor or phone or laptop or just alt-tab

[edgy plover]

Get a feel for map, movement, keybinds, scav killing, etc

[brittle canyon]

and memorize the map

[warm shuttle]

is 8 mins normal for streets queue?

its taking mad long

[edgy plover]

As a scav, yea, it can take forever

1000x as many people scav streets as PMC there, so you get crazy queues

[fallow obsidian]

in practice mode i dont lose my stuff right?

[edgy plover]

Correct

[fallow obsidian]

okok good

im gonna die to a bot so fast

[brittle canyon]

you want to maybe watch a video guide to woods not to learn it but to see what the POIs look like, and then actually visit those POIs in offline, and then practice finding landmarks that lead you to those POIs, practice identifying your spawn location, and slowly expand the amount of memorized land around those landmarks

also disable pve completely

no scavs

[fallow obsidian]

why?

[edgy plover]

No, play with scavs on. They make it way less boring and it’s good practice

[fallow obsidian]

I wanna shoot people

[brittle canyon]

so they don’t shoot you while you’re looking at the map

[half finch]

easiest way i learned woods is learning what side of the big mountain in the middle your on

[warm shuttle]

is 50-60 fps good for streets?

[craggy forum]

woods is a good map to learn starting off, thats what I did

[brittle canyon]

and they don’t disrupt map learning

[mint light]

opposing opinions is funny

[edgy plover]

It’s practice mode, you can restart if you die. It’s worth practicing killing scavs

Also seeing where they spawn in the map is valuable part of learning it

[brittle canyon]

if you want aim and movement practice go factory offline with medium scav and low difficulty

[fallow obsidian]

ok im loading into practice woods

[brittle canyon]

you want to practice circle strafing to cancel inertia

[fallow obsidian]

see you on the other side 😿

[edgy plover]

Good luck :)

[half finch]

i’d also recommend unlocking jaeger as soon as you can since he offers cheap kits

[edgy plover]

It’s all I get lol

[fallow obsidian]

its night time and I dont have a flashlight 😢

[edgy plover]

Remember when I said to choose the map and time lol

[brittle canyon]

select daytime lol

[fallow obsidian]

yea mb xD

[brittle canyon]

military time is in 24 hours

[flat cipher]

the superior time

[edgy plover]

Feel free to leave and reset

[brittle canyon]

superior time is decimal time

[flat cipher]

[fallow obsidian]

green bar on bottom left is stamina

right?

[warm shuttle]

dude i just killed a pmc and he had 5 cond milks

wtf

[brittle canyon]

there’s leg stamina and arm stamina

[edgy plover]

Green is Lower body stamina, blue is upper body

[brittle canyon]

and hidden hold breath stamina

[bold kernel]

Is it best to run pistols?

[flat cipher]

levelling metabolism prob

[brittle canyon]

best for what

[flat cipher]

dehydrate with cond milk, hydrate with whatever else

[edgy plover]

They sell for lots, might’ve just got lucky in the grocery store

[fallow obsidian]

whats the noise thing on top of stamina?

how much noise im producing?

[brittle canyon]

how much noise you make walking

[edgy plover]

Character speed, and noise

Scroll to change

[brittle canyon]

scroll wheel down to decrease noise

doesn’t affect any other noise you make

you can’t choose to quietly open doors or containers, or slowly ADS, or slowly turn around, etc

[fallow obsidian]

im disconnecting so I can make it day

How does behaviour differ from day time to night time

[flat cipher]

and i pray to god they never add that

[fallow obsidian]

do I want to avoid night time raids or wgatever

[edgy plover]

Day is busier usually, AI can see further

[brittle canyon]

ai scavs have shorter detection range, everything is darker, etc

but once ai detects you it will see you pretty far even at night

[edgy plover]

Typically you only go at night if you know the map well and are trying to avoid PvP

[fallow obsidian]

wow its so pretty in day time

[warm shuttle]

@edgy plover you still run streets even with 50-60 fps?

it felt fine tbh

[brittle canyon]

make it prettier with postfx

[edgy plover]

Oh yea

[brittle canyon]

tarkov so grey and depressing

[fallow obsidian]

I found a little village

[half finch]

was streets performance fixed at all this patch?

tried running it on scav last night and kept blue screening

[brittle canyon]

use a video guide to just get an idea for what the pois look like

and find it on mapgenie

now you know where you are

[fallow obsidian]

does every poi have some sort of loot?

[edgy plover]

Can’t think of one that doesn’t

[fallow obsidian]

the noise is so stressfl

what if I get heard a shot

[brittle canyon]

you find cover

and return fire or find a way to disengage

do try to take fights at your preferred range though, don’t just sit there aiming ironsights for 3 minutes cuz you’re gonna get headtapped

[fallow obsidian]

I went into a bridge

got shot

[brittle canyon]

that’s out of bounds

again use a map

[fallow obsidian]

I took one down with me tho 🙂

[brittle canyon]

ingame maps are useless

[fallow obsidian]

that was so cary

I was exploring, found a bridge that brought a symbol with like exit thing

[brittle canyon]

that’s a sniper symbol

[fallow obsidian]

and I heard a bullet go off, killed him and someone killed me 🙂

[brittle canyon]

crosshair painted in blood

[fallow obsidian]

yes yes yes

[brittle canyon]

yea so don’t run into snipers

[edgy plover]

Don’t walk past those

[fallow obsidian]

noted

[brittle canyon]

and use a map

[fallow obsidian]

that was so fun

my heart is beating so fast

[past river]

yeah you didnt kill the invisi map sniper. probs another scav or player spotted you near it

[edgy plover]

Tarkov is a horror game. Now you see why it hooks people

That adrenaline is quite the rush

[fallow obsidian]

I like the adrenaline

so exciting

im gonna look at a video of woods

and then mapgenie it to see

[edgy plover]

NoiceGuy has good 5 min map guides that show landmarks well

[fallow obsidian]

woods is so big wtf

is there lore?

[brittle canyon]

it’s like medium large

[fallow obsidian]

I was in scav town

I found it on the map

[edgy plover]

What map is technically biggest? Shoreline?

[flat cipher]

streets in terms of actual explorable area i think

[brittle canyon]

TerraGroup did a bad, they hire USEC to destroy evidence of crimes, Rus government creates BEAR to investigate Terragroup, they both fight (Contract Wars, BSG’s last game), the whole Norvinsk region falls into chaos and both USEC and BEAR command retreats leaving behind a whole bunch of PMCs stranded, you are one of them, escape from tarkov

[fallow obsidian]

what places do I want to avoid in woods and what places should be of interest to me

[brittle canyon]

depends on why you’re in woods

[fallow obsidian]

aaaah fun

[brittle canyon]

if you’re there for a quest you’d go to the quest location and avoid unnecessary fights

if you’re there for loot then depends on which loot run you found/made for yourself

but generally you want to focus questing while looting when you have the time

[fallow obsidian]

I didnt find any evil people (ai) besides a guy I killed and the guy who killed me

[warm shuttle]

did they purposefully fill streets with loot...i feel like there is so much more shit here than other maps

[brittle canyon]

yes

they want you to test the new map

[warm shuttle]

thats stinky tbh

[brittle canyon]

same with lighthouse

lmao wut

you paid to be a tester, act like one

[warm shuttle]

im guessing there just gonna nerf in a few months like the other maps anyway

[brittle canyon]

well next few map additions are all gonna be streets expansions so I don’t see it happening for a while

Terminal is still a long way ahead

[warm shuttle]

whats terminal?

a diff map?

[brittle canyon]

a port

where you can escape from tarkov

[edgy plover]

[warm shuttle]

i dont get it

[past river]

future map

[fallow obsidian]

I wanna try to do a task but im too scared

[past river]

like streets got added this wipe terminal is planne for a future point

[brittle canyon]

you have to

[fallow obsidian]

im gonna get familiar with map first and killing

where can I go in practice mode to kill a lot to get used to the pve?

[warm shuttle]

fear is tarkovs fuel

[fallow obsidian]

or pvp

[brittle canyon]

factory

[brittle canyon]

just have the quests accepted so you can work on them while learning

[fallow obsidian]

what is a good video to watch to learn the different maps

woods first ofc

[brittle canyon]

field experience always beats video

any video will do but don’t expect it to teach you much

[fallow obsidian]

but video gives some guidance right?

[stable island]

oh shit they added a group invite out of search pretty sick

[edgy plover]

Use NoiceGuys 5 min guides to get a look and a name for the POIs so you recognize them

[fallow obsidian]

im going factory to test out fighting

[brittle canyon]

factory offline, medium scavs, easy difficulty

[edgy plover]

Always keep difficulty ‘as online’

Practice against what you’ll actually fight

[brittle canyon]

bring just a pistol, practice accurate onetaps, looting under pressure and using scav guns in a pinch

[edgy plover]

Not an easy version of it

[stable island]

why does scav case gotta be such a long construction

😢

[warm shuttle]

i tried to extract through klimov street and got sniped?

[brittle canyon]

need to pop a green flare

[past river]

need to activate a green flare first

[warm shuttle]

oh

[edgy plover]

Need to pop a green flare so the snipers won’t bop ya

[warm shuttle]

is that what the red and yellow flares are for too?

just diff exfil

[edgy plover]

Always review a maps extracts on the wiki for weird stuff like that

[brittle canyon]

red for airdrop

yellow does nothing

[warm shuttle]

ok got it

[bright rune]

What can i do to not get run through?

[edgy plover]

200 exp or 7 min

[brittle canyon]

wait 7 minutes, or kill a scav and touch the body

[edgy plover]

In raid

[fallow obsidian]

I looted something :)))))

[bright rune]

Ty ^^

[fallow obsidian]

yay

[warm shuttle]

oh i see the warning on the top right of the map im using

so i have to be in the signal area?

[edgy plover]

Yes

[soft timber]

tips for playing solo? im level 25 and this is my first wipe but all my confidence goes out the window when im by myself. scav runs i seem to do fine, obviously because i have nothing to lose, but solo pmc runs seem daunting for me as a new player

[narrow belfry]

run less listen more

[brittle canyon]

run more

you’re alone, but they don’t know that

[fallow obsidian]

im not finding anyone 😦

i put Ai

butt there isnt any :(((

[brittle canyon]

they need to comfirm FOF before shooting, stir up the hive and confuse them

always keep flanking

if you have time to catch your breath just flank

if you shoot, flank

[edgy plover]

I’ve seen people reporting that bug since the update tonight, might be broken atm

[fallow obsidian]

what happens to the stuff i loot in practice mode?

also, whats the most efficient way of peeking a corner, do you want to stick close to the wall and tilt yourself out or

[analog fulcrum]

after an offline raid,its like it never happened, everything gets reset

[edgy plover]

Move slow until they know you’re there, then flank, flank, flank.
Play like a patient guerrila, constantly reposition, ambush, don’t be afraid to retreat

[brittle canyon]

nothing you do will be saved, you get no loot or xp or skillpoints

[soft timber]

yea I've always figured that as a positive to running solo just never actually taught myself to use it to my advantage ig

[fallow obsidian]

im getting xp rn

[narrow belfry]

dont jiggle just circle peek (wasd)

[fallow obsidian]

i found pliers :)))

[analog fulcrum]

that gotten xp will be lost when raid is finished

[fallow obsidian]

okok

[edgy plover]

It shows you how much exp you would have gotten, it’s not real

[fallow obsidian]

how do I know what stuff can be looted

if I see something from afar, how do I know if its loot or not

[edgy plover]

You’ll get an eye for it

Hard at first

[brittle canyon]

https://youtu.be/12WvTZsL2pQ

[fallow obsidian]

ooooh thank you

[fallow obsidian]

cause I feel like itll become a problem for me if Im uncertain

[soft timber]

the best thing i have going for me is my pvp in this game, i have literally zero map awareness when it comes to tarkov. im a generally safe player but when i get in a gunfight i have a general feel for the movement/when to reposition... i just don't know where to reposition if that makes sense?

[warm shuttle]

does selling stuff to traders increase the (spent) thing for them/

i wanna get lvl 2 skier

[brittle canyon]

then learn the map

[brittle canyon]

yes

[edgy plover]

That’s great, just integrate that instinct with map knowledge and you’re golden

[fallow obsidian]

whats the red countdown on the top right?

when the server will shut even if its offline?

[edgy plover]

Time left to extract

[soft timber]

Any tips on learning maps fast? Or is it really just a time played type thing

[brittle canyon]

if you don’t exfil before timer runs out you go mia and lose everything

[edgy plover]

Time played is it

Just throw yourself at it

[warm shuttle]

any good budget gun builds for lvl 15?

[inland geyser]

i like to run scavs to learn the map or do offline raids first to learn the exits

[soft timber]

fair enuf, ty! guess i wont really get rid of the nervousness until i do it more lol

[brittle canyon]

what map doing what quest also what trader lvs

[inland geyser]

@soft timber even knowing the maps u still get that feeling

[warm shuttle]

i only have lvl 2 prapor and therapist... i run mainly customs but want to start running streets

[fallow obsidian]

what is LEDX

found it in a medbag

[edgy plover]

Ak103
UMP
Mp153

[inland geyser]

@warm shuttle i like the sp-25 from prapor

or flea

[brittle canyon]

pp2 has 545 pp and bt, buy rpk, grip sight muzzle, done

or 762 anything with ps now that you can buy it

[soft timber]

for me i just feel like i have a target on my back the whole time lmao, like i literally hate standing still

[edgy plover]

Any 545 AK with PP is great

[warm shuttle]

ump is really fun to use...but i feel like I have to put an entire mag into them

[fallow obsidian]

ooooh i can accurately find veins

[tidal briar]

one of the rarest items in game. you need one for level 3 med station if you are planning on going that far

[inland geyser]

@warm shuttle with what ammo

[warm shuttle]

.45 acp fmj

[inland geyser]

@soft timberyeah i mean knowledge of the maps give you an understanding of where to avoid

[warm shuttle]

i dont know how to get better ammo than that

[fallow obsidian]

I found a wooden stock, is that useful?

[edgy plover]

Yea, if you don’t get a headshot it’s pretty tough.
It’s just super controllable

[inland geyser]

@warm shuttle buy AP on the flea

if you can

[edgy plover]

You can’t lol

No one can

[warm shuttle]

rip

[mortal obsidian]

hello would anyone be willing to run a few raids im pretty new to the game and am trying to quest to level up

[warm shuttle]

anything .45 better than fmj>

[inland geyser]

i meant like from traders, look it up on the flea

[edgy plover]

Not until Max level traders

[warm shuttle]

whatta rip

[inland geyser]

ump is hard bc its either leg meta or u have to head eyes them

[brittle canyon]

ump leg meta is trash, anemic rof

[warm shuttle]

leg meta is so boring to play

[edgy plover]

Ump is only for keeping on heads

[soft timber]

ye like the guy i normally play with is like "there's a spawn here, here, and here. you wanna watch over there to make sure you dont get spotted by sniper scav and run this way in this direction at a 37 degree angle while avoiding these player spawns and you should make it easily" like it's definitely helpful but it's just like sensory overload for me lol

[edgy plover]

Each bit of information was gathered from multiple deaths

You can’t keep it all in your head otherwise

[soft timber]

haha very true he's been playing since alpha so im sure hes seen his fair share of bullshit

[fallow obsidian]

is single fire better than rapid fire, im guessing its very situational

[inland geyser]

@soft timber yeah just run scavs and do offline mode if your that nervous, but its fun to just say fuck it and run rat kits till u learn the map

[edgy plover]

Totally depends

[fallow obsidian]

can I manufacture scopes and stuff?

can you trade with other players?

[warm shuttle]

is ak-103 762?

[soft timber]

my issue now is just shooter born in heaven and finding good spots that players arent watching 24/7 lol

[edgy plover]

You can buy and trade, you can craft certain things but not attachments

[edgy plover]

Yes

Best budget 762

[inland geyser]

^

[warm shuttle]

what 762 ammo tho?

[edgy plover]

PS slaps for the price

And availability

[inland geyser]

Ps is def the best price

[brittle canyon]

not really

[warm shuttle]

so should i look up like ak103 builds?

[fallow obsidian]

how do I get attachments?

[brittle canyon]

need to get lv15

[inland geyser]

bp is the best ammo overall but its so hard to find at low levels

[brittle canyon]

level your traders by doing quests for them

[edgy plover]

Buy or find

[brittle canyon]

or get lv15 and buy them at a higher price on the flea

[inland geyser]

@warm shuttle It depends on how you like the feel of the gun too

[fallow obsidian]

can I get tracer rounds, I just love how they look, probably not very convenient if you dont wanna give your position away

[warm shuttle]

ima buy one and try it out in practice

[inland geyser]

@warm shuttle yeah thats the best, I like smgs and bolt actions more than ARs, its just preference

[brittle canyon]

different ammo has different damage and penetration so it’s not recommended, some good ammos happen to be tracers but not all tracers are good (in fact most tracers are pretty bad)

[soft timber]

also i had one more question about these 2 builds... what can i do to make them better or are they already decent for shooter born?

[bright rune]

Which shotgun is good for factory? Trader 3

[brittle canyon]

you use semi for shooterborn

[brittle canyon]

saiga, 153

[fallow obsidian]

okok, If i go in as pmc for the first time and die

[soft timber]

oh

[inland geyser]

@soft timber if you wanna be pricey use a vudu

[fallow obsidian]

what do I do from there

[bright rune]

Ty!

[fallow obsidian]

how do I pick myself back up

[warm shuttle]

545 igolnik is like top tier right?

[edgy plover]

153, saiga, or Benelli

[soft timber]

im kinda poor atm so ive primarily been running tac 30

[brittle canyon]

you equip gear and go again

[restive scaffold]

hello guys can anyone help me with ( Delivery from the past ) second part (factory) i still don't know the map

[bright rune]

Which ammo?

[fallow obsidian]

what if I die again with that gear

[brittle canyon]

you equip another gear and go again

you can also buy gear

[inland geyser]

@soft timber yeah i just run scavs and save money for kits

[brittle canyon]

if you’re poor you can run scav

[edgy plover]

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.

[soft timber]

so using bolties is not good for shooter born then? it's always been my assumption that it needed to be done with bolt actions

[brittle canyon]

no lol

[inland geyser]

^ the more you run the maps the fatser and safer the runs will be

[bright rune]

For 153 is 7mm buckshot the way to go?

[brittle canyon]

dmrs have plenty of accuracy and you can place quick followup shots

[edgy plover]

Magnum buck or flechette

[brittle canyon]

ap20, flechette, 8.5

[inland geyser]

@soft timber ive gotten one with ap-20 like 2 wipes ago, you can use any gun

[bright rune]

i cant buy flechette yet :o

[primal yacht]

Flechette if you can buy it from flea at a reasonable price

[soft timber]

oh ok good to know lmao

[edgy plover]

Then 8.5/Magnum buck, aim for legs if they have faceshields

[bright rune]

Ok thx ^^

[fallow obsidian]

whats the best map to make moneys?>

[edgy plover]

Woods

Maybe streets

If you can run it

[fallow obsidian]

woods it is

[soft timber]

lmao

[restive scaffold]

reserve is good too

[fallow obsidian]

I like the woods

[soft timber]

i like lighthouse and reserve for my scavs

[edgy plover]

Reserve is great as a scav, pain in the ass to extract from as a PMC though

[inland geyser]

i run customs nights

usually unlooted

chance of cultists too

[edgy plover]

Yea once you know a map well enough to run at night, infinite free loot

[warm shuttle]

ps was the good 762 ammo right?

[bright rune]

Would you modify the mp 153?

[warm shuttle]

i forgor

[fallow obsidian]

whats a shattered mask, Im watching this video about looting and raiding, this guy said shattered mask is neccesary for intimidation purposes

[edgy plover]

Bigger magtube, maybe a choke as well

[brittle canyon]

bp>ps>rest

[edgy plover]

Thats it

[inland geyser]

yes it was rigby

[brittle canyon]

he’s high

[primal yacht]

MAI ap is technically the best

[fallow obsidian]

okok

[warm shuttle]

how do i get bp?

[edgy plover]

craft or find

[high venture]

U buy it?

[warm shuttle]

oh alr

[edgy plover]

Nope, cannot

[primal yacht]

Workbench lvl3 rouges,cultists,raiders

[fallow obsidian]

is it reccomended to play with other people?

[warm shuttle]

how much you get for the craft?

[primal yacht]

Cultists is most consistent for me

[soft timber]

ok this new group system is sick af

[edgy plover]

Preference

[fallow obsidian]

on your team ofc

[edgy plover]

120 iirc

Takes like 18 hours and costs a lot

[warm shuttle]

stinky

[high venture]

U can literally buy bp on flea

[warm shuttle]

762 bp?

[primal yacht]

Not x39

[edgy plover]

We are talking about 762, read the conversation lol

[high venture]

Ahh mb

[fallow obsidian]

with loot you find after raiding a place, do you want to sell it if you survive?

[edgy plover]

Unless you'd rather keep it

[fallow obsidian]

what type of loot would I like to keep generally speaking

[edgy plover]

Up to you

[primal yacht]

Keep unless you need space or money

[edgy plover]

Some hoarde way more than others

Totally preference when it comes to what to keep/sell

[brittle canyon]

you need some items for quest and some for building the hideout
some to use for yourself etc

kind of need to memorize every item over time but that can wait

[primal yacht]

!wiki quests

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Quests

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Quests

Quests, both player-given and dynamically generated, are intended to be a large part of Escape from Tarkov.
Some require you to pick stuff up for certain traders, while others require you to kill other operators or mark vehicles and specific places. Quests are the fastest way of gaining EXP. Completing one will often reward you with experience points, trader reputation, money, valuable loot, rare containers, and unlock the purchase of new items.
When a trader has a quest available, they will have a green tick on their icon.

[primal yacht]

Here can you see what you need for quests

[edgy plover]

If you don't want to sell anything useful, you can check everything using https://tarkov-market.com/ and the info it provides for quest/hideout/barter/crafting requirements and for flea prices. Then you can decide what things you'll need soon enough, and which items sell for enough, to hold onto

[fallow obsidian]

whose quests do I want to do first?

[edgy plover]

For example, if you were checking 'Bolts' you would type it in and see this screen. You could then decide if any of those quests or hideout upgrades are close enough to save for, or if the extra money you'd get on the flea would make it worthwhile to hold onto until you hit level 15.https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1011787235823210607/1020552361644675093/unknown.png

[primal yacht]

The ones who are closest in rep and you have levels for

[brittle canyon]

everyone

[primal yacht]

Do easy ones too

[fallow obsidian]

im lvl 1 so ill do whatever i can do

if i can get it done

[brittle canyon]

you need to level every trader (except fence)

[brittle canyon]

you can't fail most quests they just take a long time

if you're bad

[edgy plover]

We're all bad here, don't worry

[brittle canyon]

speak for yourself

[fallow obsidian]

I dont want to do raids alone xD thats so scary

[dawn geyser]

Yes

[brittle canyon]

solo is how you get good

[primal yacht]

Go at night and at odd irl hours if you need to go to a hotspot resort,dorms

[fallow obsidian]

ill try one pmc raid in woods

to do the therapist mission thing

[brittle canyon]

are you high I want fights in dorms

gimme dat ass

I brought a casket full of bs

[primal yacht]

I’m ass at this game you don’t want it

[edgy plover]

I'd suggest playing with someone to get the basics, and then yea, solo is where you go from intermediate to advanced.

[brittle canyon]

you'll die anyway so go in cheap

also don't bring in food

[fallow obsidian]

who can I play with

[brittle canyon]

eat food out of raid

[primal yacht]

Cmon dude woods is easy he can make it

[fallow obsidian]

what does the pouch do?

[edgy plover]

#pvp-lfg is an easy place to find people, or just hop in any of the beginner chats

[warm shuttle]

can i send pics in this chat?

[brittle canyon]

it's his first online raid ever

[regal nest]

Is it possible to build mosin with suppressor and with decent ergo without going over 110k?

[edgy plover]

It's your secure container, anything in there you keep on death

[brittle canyon]

everything in the pouch, special slots and your melee weapon are not lost upon death

[fallow obsidian]

awesome

[brittle canyon]

but if you have something in the pouch and die it loses found in raid status

[primal yacht]

Woods is woods many landmarks he can look at it’s just stamina simulator

[brittle canyon]

so you can't shove a salewa up your ass and die it doesn't count for the quest

[edgy plover]

Woods is easily the hardest map to learn lol

Fewest landmarks, landmines and snipers as a border, dense trees

[primal yacht]

They lose fir if you die with stuff in pouch

[fallow obsidian]

what do I want to bring into a looting session?

[warm shuttle]

how do i get roles? I just realized i dont have a role

[edgy plover]

Normal kit

[fallow obsidian]

weapon, earpiece

body armor

[edgy plover]

Uhh, usually happens automatically iirc. @dawn geyser

[primal yacht]

No way it’s not that hard look at a map and think about the terrain and you will learn in <10 raids since there isn’t much you need to learn

[dawn geyser]

Bot shlep sometimes

Thanks

[edgy plover]

I'm not saying it's impossible, it's easily the hardest map to learn though.

[brittle canyon]

you can run no armor and no helmet but never ever run no headset, all headsets increase hearing distance by the same amount, but they have different sound profiles and ambient noise reduction levels
currently you can buy the GSSH which is cheap but just makes everything louder
and the M32 which will dampen the ambient noise

[edgy plover]

Relative to any other map

[primal yacht]

Mosin 40 lps min berkut backpack peanut helmet

[fallow obsidian]

should IO bring water and mags?

[idle folio]

i found learning what side of sniper mountain your on can help you learn where everything is

[primal yacht]

Wasn’t hard for me

[brittle canyon]

you need mags to reload
no water no food

[edgy plover]

👍

[primal yacht]

Shoreline is most painful to learn

[fallow obsidian]

iskra?

[brittle canyon]

no

[edgy plover]

Woods literally has landmines and snipers as it's borders lol. Shoreline is cake to learn. Just follow the wall to extract

[brittle canyon]

find food in raid and eat them
if you can't, exfil and eat food in the stash

[fallow obsidian]

bandage, splint analgin?

how many mags should I bring for first raid?

[brittle canyon]

put vaseline and car medkit in pouch
in the pockets have ai2 (cheese), 2 cat tourniquets (from peacekeeper) and 1 bandage, and quickbind them

[primal yacht]

I hated shoreline felt like I could walk for 10 mins and be in the same spot

[idle folio]

throw a cms in your pouch just in case any of your limbs get blacked out

[narrow belfry]

like 3

[brittle canyon]

you're gonna die anyway so bring 1 or 2

[edgy plover]

Oh I hate shoreline, but it's easy to learn

[fallow obsidian]

AI-2 medkit?

[narrow belfry]

shoreline pvp (audio hell)

[brittle canyon]

read what I said above

[primal yacht]

Same but hating it made it hard to learn

[edgy plover]

Fair enough lol

[primal yacht]

Haha

[mint light]

did they make invis go away

[brittle canyon]

no

largely fixed but not all

[mint light]

ur trolling

💀

[edgy plover]

If it was a simple problem it would have been hotfixed ages ago, seems pretty pervasive whatever it is. Though looks like it is mostly fixed

[fallow obsidian]

should I keep ammo in backpack?

[brittle canyon]

not for now

[fallow obsidian]

okidoki

[regal nest]

Is mosin still usable with 0 ergo?

[fallow obsidian]

I dont need a backpack rn?

[mint light]

they downloaded free ram on all company pcs

[primal yacht]

If u wanna loot you deffo need one

[sacred sun]

what do sherpas do?

[brittle canyon]

usable yes
good no

[brittle canyon]

legal carry service

[edgy plover]

Look cool in green

#sherpa-info

[primal yacht]

Mbss is 12k and sling is 2k

[brittle canyon]

sling is trash

[edgy plover]

MBSS should be the minimum bag you take

[primal yacht]

Better than nothing

[regal nest]

What is the easiest way to do tarkov shooter part 3?

[edgy plover]

12k is super cheap

[brittle canyon]

nothing is better

[brittle canyon]

which one was it

[edgy plover]

That close range kills?

[regal nest]

yes

[edgy plover]

Just factory with a VPO with APM

[brittle canyon]

vpo with apm, two mags, spare ammo in ass, go factory

[fallow obsidian]

how do I quickbind stuff?

[brittle canyon]

mouse over it and 4567

[edgy plover]

Hover over it in pockets or rig and hit 4-9

[regal nest]

Should I modify the VPO before going?

[primal yacht]

Nah I was at 5k and nothing in my stash last wipe it saved me from brokeness

[edgy plover]

I just put an ekp on it

[fallow obsidian]

thanks

[brittle canyon]

any sight you like

[spring basalt]

Any tips for Punisher P6 I suck with the SVD

[fallow obsidian]

I have 2 bandages, how do i make it only one

[primal yacht]

Recoil will suck nmw

[brittle canyon]

army bandage has 2 uses

[edgy plover]

It's a bolty

recoil doesn't matter

[spring basalt]

VPO sniper or the AK lookin one?

[primal yacht]

Thought he meant the offbrand ak

[regal nest]

Sorry what does nmw mean?

[brittle canyon]

ak vpo is not bolty

[edgy plover]

He's doing Tarkov shooter, has to be the bolty

[primal yacht]

NoMatterWhat

[fallow obsidian]

I dont have a tourniquet, is that fine?

[brittle canyon]

also how are you lv40 and still on shooter 3

[primal yacht]

Yup fine

[brittle canyon]

buy 2 cats from peacekeeper

[spring basalt]

I dont use snipers often

[edgy plover]

I'm on shooter 4 lol

[spring basalt]

I been using M4's Aks n now SVDs

[brittle canyon]

heavy bleed is very annoying and you need to bring heavy bleed meds always

[spring basalt]

I can start snipin once Punisher P6 is done

[fallow obsidian]

ok i think im ready to go and die

[sacred sun]

do you guys actually enjoy the game

[primal yacht]

Calok is so good I hate healing without it

[edgy plover]

In a masochistic way, yes

[regal nest]

What kind of armor should I bring along with the vpo? I have 7 million but I don't want to spend much cuz Ik I will die multiple times trying this task.

[warm shuttle]

so i made an ak-103 preset and bought the parts...is there a way to have it assemble it for me when I buy the or smth>

[primal yacht]

Ofc not I hate it

[soft timber]

aight so what's the general consensus, is binaural audio any better since the patch

[brittle canyon]

what ragman level

[fallow obsidian]

whats a good place to loot in woods, I wanna try to go Scav village since its the only place I got familiar with in offline

[edgy plover]

Nothing else can inspire such low lows and high highs

[brittle canyon]

hidden stashes, usec camp, med camp

[primal yacht]

It assembles when you have all the parts in edit preset

[edgy plover]

Explore the various POI's

[regal nest]

2

[brittle canyon]

rat rig

or buy ANAs from flea

[brittle wren]

med camp i always die 😐

[brittle canyon]

skill issue

[primal yacht]

Big brown shed is nice and surrounding buildings

[warm shuttle]

got it

[brittle wren]

your right

[brittle canyon]

my right what

nothing on my right

[primal yacht]

You have to press a green button tho

[brittle wren]

look closer

[warm shuttle]

what i did is i pulled up the preset and clicked assemble on the left

[fallow obsidian]

im gonna get a random spawn anyways right?

[edgy plover]

Yes

[fallow obsidian]

☠️

[brittle canyon]

toggle the pmc spawns in mapgenie and you'll get one of them

[warm shuttle]

cost around 110K any good?

[brittle canyon]

mechanic level

[primal yacht]

Pretty nice buy th r4d something muzzle break if you can it’s pretty nice

[brittle wren]

wow i only noticed now you said that cause i said your instead of you're..

[brittle canyon]

it's missing a few stuff

[narrow belfry]

never use the shitass srvv

[fallow obsidian]

im just gonna go in and hope for the best I guess

[edgy plover]

This is my pre-level 20 103

[primal yacht]

Wouldn’t bother with ak unless you can get sub 65 recoil

[brittle canyon]

you have none of the extracts memorized so your chances are nil

[spring basalt]

Any tips for SVD?

[sacred sun]

why not use rk-04

[brittle canyon]

why ever use dovetail

[fallow obsidian]

im gonna go offline a little longer and get used to woods

[edgy plover]

I love that optic

[brittle canyon]

also rs47 is better

[sacred sun]

devetail is nice

[spring basalt]

the scope is great

[edgy plover]

One of my favorites

[brittle canyon]

it looks great but it always disappoints

[warm shuttle]

i personally dont like dovetail...preference i think

[sacred sun]

Shep why not use RK-04?

[brittle canyon]

nah it's objectively worse when bastion is on skier 1 and it even reduces recoil

[past river]

dovetail vs rail is mute as its a mounting option and doesnt effect the actual scope

[primal yacht]

Get the dust cover from skier and get a decent sight lol

[edgy plover]

Yea you could, I don't use that preset for long so I just threw the cheap one on there

[silver night]

hi guys, i just upgraded to eos but i got no benefits, nor items. whats going on?

[edgy plover]

That sight is one of my faves, and for the price, I use it whenever I can

[brittle canyon]

RK series aren't very cost effective

[silver night]

eod*

[sacred sun]

true

[primal yacht]

I like the cobra best for low level

[edgy plover]

Yea, that's what I use pre-15

[brittle canyon]

ekp literally only positive ergo sight in the game

[edgy plover]

But after flea that OKP is like 5k more and super crisp

[primal yacht]

Use the dust cover for less recoil aswell

[warm shuttle]

is there MT VTG better than SSVFK?

[regal nest]

Any tips how to play in factory in order to get the kills? I have played plenty of factory before as scav.

[warm shuttle]

the grip

[brittle canyon]

if you have mechanic 2 you use trax bridge and trax 2, then use AFG or RVG

[edgy plover]

Lol, this is a budget 103, the recoil isn't going to be lower than 80

[primal yacht]

Every digit counts

[warm shuttle]

ill keep that in mind when i get mechanic lvl 2

[warm shuttle]

i got it to 75 recoil

[brittle canyon]

no mechanic 2 use RS47 or MOE handguard never trax 1 standalone

[edgy plover]

Not in my experience, when going for budget I don't worry about small differences

[sacred sun]

RS47

[primal yacht]

Fair enough full auto is only point blank panic fire at low levels anyway

[brittle canyon]

you also might want a better pistol grip and X400 and possibly better muzzle

[sacred sun]

any ways to make cash without instantly being blown up by a heat seeking cruisemissle from an altyn chad?

[warm shuttle]

tryna keep it as cheap as possible for now

i only just got to lvl 16

[brittle canyon]

you always want light or laser

[edgy plover]

Woods or Shoreline stash runs, at night in particular, are free loot

[sacred sun]

use TBL or Balder or X400

[brittle canyon]

there is no free loot because you paid time for it

[brittle canyon]

baldr is trash, doesn't illuminate very far

[sacred sun]

yes sir

[spring basalt]

pmc kills right? if so learn the spawns n put pressure/push them

[warm shuttle]

what lasers?

[brittle canyon]

tbl if you want as cheap as possible
x400 if you want light laser combo

[edgy plover]

Fine. "It's as free as loot possibly could be, but of course you will spend time getting it, so of course nothing is literally free"
Better?

[primal yacht]

Tbl is ok if you’re going daytime

[sacred sun]

do you reccomend stims for people around level 20 or nah

[regal nest]

Is pushing with bolt action the best strat?

[warm shuttle]

not seeing where i can put a laser

[edgy plover]

I don't worry about them until I get injectors case

[spring basalt]

hold an angle on the spawn area or jus try push n get a hs

[brittle canyon]

if you did chemical p4 you should have injector case so yes

[primal yacht]

You need a rail for many hand guards

[warm shuttle]

like trax 1?

[fallow obsidian]

I found a place with a couple of huts and a broken down tank nearby

[brittle canyon]

use rs47

trax needs rails, need pk2 or mechanic 2

[frigid finch]

anyone have a meta m1a build they could share?

[brittle canyon]

meta m1a you attach an sr on the m1a and detach the m1a to save weight

[fallow obsidian]

its near scav villae

[edgy plover]

If you've completed gunsmith 2, just use the AK 100 handguard, got a spot for foregrip and a laser and literally costs 1k

[warm shuttle]

got it...thx

[fallow obsidian]

once im in scav village, how do I leave

do I use the car right by the bridge or what

[brittle canyon]

rs47 is 12k for -2 +7 very hard to beat

[edgy plover]

RS47 isn't bad though, gives some recoil buffs. So if you're willing to spend a bit more, feel free

[warm shuttle]

what is rs47... a handguard?

to hold the grip and laser?

[elder lion]

You need bit of money to extract with car like 10k

[edgy plover]

Yea, that's what you were asking about right

[warm shuttle]

yes

[edgy plover]

Vehicle extracts have to be paid for, 5k by default. Otherwise head to one of your other extracts, double tap O to check yours

[brittle canyon]

TRAX 1+2 is +11 -3 for around 19k if you have mechanic 2

[warm shuttle]

+11 ergo -3 recoil?

[edgy plover]

Yes

[warm shuttle]

got it

[fallow obsidian]

how do I know which one is mien, a couple of them show up

[edgy plover]

You can use any on your list

[brittle canyon]

everything on the list is available

[fallow obsidian]

birdge V EX is one of them

[brittle canyon]

generally you spawn at one side of the map, the extracts on the other side of the map are available to you

[fallow obsidian]

right next to scav village 🙂

[edgy plover]

A lot of them have conditions though, check the wiki page for the map to see the details for each

[brittle canyon]

need to pay 5k

[fallow obsidian]

which ones are free?

[brittle canyon]

the rest

[edgy plover]

Any extract with question marks may or may not be there that raid - it's just random chance.
Any extract that says (Co-op) next to it can only be used by a PMC and a Scav (or multiples) working together, and are rarely ever used
Any extract marked as a V-Ex (Vehicle-Extract) requires you to pay and can only be used by a single PMC/team
Some extracts will require you to turn on the power or use a key- so be careful choosing which extract to head for - check the wiki

[warm shuttle]

what grip should i use with the rs47 handguard?

[brittle canyon]

rvg or afg

[fallow obsidian]

i have ZB-014 and outskirts

but zb-014 has question marks

[brittle canyon]

rvg is +7 -2 afg is +6 -2
pick the cheapest color

[fallow obsidian]

outskirts is the only one without a condition

[edgy plover]

RK-4 is very cheap for what it does as well

+4 -2 and like 8k

[sacred sun]

what armor should i use (im lvl 20) maybe MMAC?

[brittle canyon]

mmac, rat rig, anything you find

[frigid finch]

hows that look?

[warm shuttle]

so rn its 57 ergo and 74 vert recoil

[fallow obsidian]

the loot in these places is constant right?

[brittle canyon]

no

the loot category is fixed but loot is generated randomly within the category

[fallow obsidian]

alright

[brittle canyon]

ana m1 and m2 are also about 100k on flea

[fallow obsidian]

which leads to next question, there are better times of day to go raiding right?

like safer times

[edgy plover]

Usually fewer people at night, that's about the only rule though

[brittle canyon]

off-peak hours in your timezone

[fallow obsidian]

if the loot category is fixed, cant you plan out when to go?

[brittle canyon]

past 3AM, and work/school hours

[edgy plover]

Oh yea, timezone of the server you're playing in matters too

[sacred sun]

is it worth it tho?

[brittle canyon]

yes

[brittle canyon]

rat rig is 70k, mmac is 80k, just consider your options

[fallow obsidian]

that makes it fun

[brittle canyon]

anam1 has high effective durability

[fallow obsidian]

playing with a friend must be cool then, if you plan out when to go and stuff

[brittle canyon]

I mean you should always plan your raid

[fallow obsidian]

my friends dont play 😢

[warm shuttle]

any changes i should make?

[soft timber]

highly recommend finding a buddy to run with

[edgy plover]

I personally dislike that optic, but that's up to you

Otherwise looks great

[fallow obsidian]

wtf, this is what I fear, me doing my first raid and some decked out guy pull up to me

[brittle canyon]

that's budget modded

not decked out at all

[edgy plover]

Get used to that. It will happen many times

Many many times

[warm shuttle]

any other suggestions other than dovetail lol

[brittle canyon]

also ammo is more important than gun

[fallow obsidian]

im using mountain stash for reference in woods

[frigid finch]

am i just unlucky that by level 40 i still havent found a single Obdolbos or AHF1-M stim in raid?

[soft timber]

ok so uh, how do i get the 62 recoil down for a decent price with the RD?

[brittle canyon]

use better muzzle

[edgy plover]

A different holo, xps3 or even the 553

I prefer the picatinny ekp over that sight tbh

[soft timber]

553 is my fav

[warm shuttle]

ima try the 553

[soft timber]

is wave not a good suppressor? honestly i just go with whatevers cheapest on the flea

[brittle canyon]

wave is good for DMRs

but not ars or snipers

[edgy plover]

Suppressor is the thing you really don't want to cheap out on

That and ammo

[brittle canyon]

ars - max recoil
snipers - hybrid or gemtech

[soft timber]

oop

[brittle canyon]

with current prices try ultra or sdn then

[edgy plover]

SDN is really cheap atm

[soft timber]

Ahh okay.. where'd you get those stats btw? is there a website?

[warm shuttle]

app i think

database tarkov something

[brittle canyon]

database for tarkov

[soft timber]

ah ok, yea it got it down to 55 recoil, is that decent for rd?

[brittle canyon]

try it on the range

"decent" depends on how well you control spray

[fallow obsidian]

are people friendly in this game?

[brittle canyon]

no

[soft timber]

no

[edgy plover]

Meta is like 44

[fallow obsidian]

I mean, if im raiding and I encounter someone, can I talk my way out of whats about to come

[edgy plover]

Not often

[brittle canyon]

pmc raid: shoot everything on sight
scav raid: you aren't supposed to kill other scavs as a scav, so avoid everyone and fight if someone shoots you first

[past river]

mechanic: put this foregrip on a gun

Me: But you havent unlocked it for me yet i need to do this quest to get it

mechanic: yeah i know im sadistic like that....

[wild forge]

how i can change the games file directory cus it turns out my c drive is ssd lmao

[fallow obsidian]

are these like unwritten rules?

[brittle canyon]

you delete the game and redownload on the correct drive

[regal nest]

What should I do when I'm spawning here and I can hear some players near the other spawn locations?

[brittle canyon]

you lose scav karma if you kill scavs as scav

[wild forge]

thx

[past river]

push out and slap some cheeks

[fallow obsidian]

so its not very likely a scav will shoot me

how do I identify scavs and pmc

[edgy plover]

Technically yes, but there is something called scav karma. you can check yours by looking at the reputation for Fence. Fence Rep = Scav Karma

You gain Karma by extracting as a scav without killing peaceful scavs, using car or scav+pmc (Co-Op) extracts, or killing PMCs or bad scavs (scavs that have shot friendly scavs that raid) as a scav.
You lose Karma by killing peaceful scavs as a scav.

Pros of good Karma: Better Scav Karma means better scavs, with quicker cooldowns and better gear on average. Quicker scav cases, cheaper extracts, and if you get to 6.0 karma bosses are friendly and a special fence market unlocks, though that's certainly not the primary benefit.
Cons of good Karma: You get executed by mean scavs from time to time and just have to take it.

Pros of Bad Karma: You can kill anyone you want and get their gear, which can be really helpful depending on your ability to fight scavs.
Cons of bad Karma: Worsening timers, worsening gear, slower scav cases, more expensive extracts and and -6.0 everything will treat you as hostile on sight.

[brittle canyon]

if you're pmc they shoot you

[wild forge]

where

[past river]

or if your questing depending on quest there is a few routes etc

[soft timber]

ion think im quite at the point where i can afford meta builds tbh, i mean the spray felt alright. not the best but i like the ammo type

[brittle canyon]

you run away from both

[sacred sun]

is farming part 4 even worth it??

[brittle canyon]

don't bother "identifying" just get your loot and dip

[brittle canyon]

just delete the game?

[warm shuttle]

its saying i cant put the MT VFG grip on it

[edgy plover]

PMC's usually wear a lot more camo whereas scavs wear brighter colors.
Scavs are less geared, often PMC's will have distinctive helmets and scavs won't

[warm shuttle]

incompatible

[brittle canyon]

on what

[limber belfry]

push out, i always check left just to be safe and if left isnt peaking i start with the glass hall fight if they didnt run to office

[warm shuttle]

AK 103 build

[brittle canyon]

VFG is dickmod, you need dickmod interface

[fallow obsidian]

okok

I want to play with someone, seems liek a cool coop game

and im scared of solo xD

[warm shuttle]

i got the rs47 handguard with the x400 sight

[edgy plover]
