beginners-assistance

[dire folio]

The same basically, if u have a laser

[severe thistle]

usually for engagements from point blank-20/25 meters i point fire and anything beyond that i tap with a scope

[dire folio]

Yeah, should do that

[severe thistle]

I just hate looking at the ceiling when i ADS fire

My pmc has a flaccid neck

[gilded bough]

wat is wrong with people who undercut by more than 1 rouble

[edgy plover]

Why on earth would you not do that

[abstract lark]

flarb

[edgy plover]

Max profit baby

[gilded bough]

two people drop marked key from 2m to 1.7m 😦

read again shep

[edgy plover]

I'm very dumb

please forgive me

[gilded bough]

is ok was confusing sentence

[edgy plover]

Yea I hate that

[severe thistle]

People like to see the economy burn.

[abstract lark]

can anyone carry me im new

[severe thistle]

Trust me my friend. Getting carried wont help you in the long run. Whatcha need help with?

I can give you all of the whimsical Tarkov knowledge you need

[abstract lark]

yeah that I really just need a duo because its impossible to solo que

[marble ether]

Wait...are there mines in the streets of Streest now? im confused

[severe thistle]

If youre on in a bit i might be on to help but for now join a lfg beginners vc

[severe thistle]

Yeah they added mines on the new expansion

Quite aids

[abstract lark]

yeah I will be

[severe thistle]

And by later i mean like 4-5 hours till my flight back home 😂

[abstract lark]

I prob will be

[severe thistle]

Ight but for now i suggest joining up one of those voicechats and playing with others

[abstract lark]

ok

[little quarry]

anyone online? can some help me to know the escape place and tasks

[tidal lagoon]

use mapgenie to get a proper map of where stuff is

then navigate using it

[little quarry]

Ok, my sense of direction is so bad

[gilded bough]

can we drop keys in raid for each other

[tidal lagoon]

only if they are FIR

so not really unless u found it in that same raid u cant bring in keys and drop

[neon axle]

bro how does one learn what they should do with items, im not sure what to sell, what to keep, what to pick up in raid, etc.

[severe thistle]

Do NOT drop the key itself drop your bag. If you drop the key goodluck finding it.

[tidal lagoon]

with experience

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Quests this page has a picture of all items needed for quests that are known currently

[severe thistle]

Heres a diagram of things you need for quests

And they ARE in chronological order

[neon axle]

thanks guys!

[severe thistle]

No problem! Good luck!

[marble ether]

Is there a good map for showing like how to get in and out of the buildings on Streets (where the doors are). I spend way too much time trying to find how to get in a building, and equally tryign to get out of it...really frustrating honestly.

[edgy plover]

I personally don't like the master list, it's too big and it doesn't tell you what things are worth, which is a big consideration.

You can check everything using Tarkov-market.com (idk why it won't let me post the link) and the info it provides for quest/hideout/barter/crafting requirements and for flea prices. This lets you decide what things you'll need soon enough, and which items sell for enough, to hold onto.

[neon axle]

do you not unlock tasks till lvl 15? im lvl 3 rn this is my first week in the game

[edgy plover]

Any trader with a green tick mark on their face has a task ready for you to accept

You should have several

[desert hemlock]

is there any maps that less sweaty people play on

[neon axle]

alrighty thank you!

[edgy plover]

but yea, check out tarkov-market.com
really nice resource

You can check if you need any FIR - Image shows yes, 5 total needed FIR, save 5 for quests in the future and you sell the rest
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521620522304405504/1037250866538893363/unknown.png

Then you can check to see if you make more from Traders, or on the flea market.

[tidal lagoon]

hey @edgy plover u know anything about if buying scav junk box is fixed?

[edgy plover]

People were only having the problem if they tried to buy it without enough space in their stash

[tidal lagoon]

ah

[edgy plover]

It would take their money but not give the box

[marble ether]

How do you get in/near the Streets dealership now? Is it only possible with the Key. I'm trying to hunt the new boss.

[severe thistle]

Usually customs or woods are the easier maps. But sweats will always be everywhere.

[mighty kelp]

Woods is great for starters

Factory too, but scav runs

[severe thistle]

Dont send a new guy to factory 😂

Biggest timmy trap ive ever seen

[tidal lagoon]

in theory there will be less sweats on customs and woods because they are doing further quests on other maps

[desert hemlock]

haha i just went into factory killed two player scavs and got wiped by tagilla

how on earth do u extract without a key though as pmc?

[severe thistle]

In “theory”

[tidal lagoon]

bro when i started playing i looked at the difficulty on the map screen and factory was the easiest so i full sent all my shit on factory

[severe thistle]

Gate 3 extract

[severe thistle]

Been there done that 😂

[misty valley]

is it just me who cant find scav raids

[swift jackal]

how am I supposed to play this game? Ive been matching 3 times for 10 minutes each and no match still...?

[severe thistle]

Nope its a common issue right now

[misty valley]

ohhhh ok

[severe thistle]

Scav or PMC?

[swift jackal]

Scav

[severe thistle]

Try scaving on a map like customs or woods where everyone is not trying to scav into right now thats been my solution 3-5 minutes loadtimes

[swift jackal]

oh so the scav queues are full?

[severe thistle]

Are you trying to do streets or lighthouse

[swift jackal]

reserve

[severe thistle]

Cause if so pretty much yeah

[severe thistle]

Oh very weird

I found customs and woods to be the fastest queue times

Lighthouse and streets to be the longest

[edgy plover]

I think reserve is up there, just very few early tasks there so not many PMCs

And people like scavving there for raiders, so scav queue is long

[tacit folio]

try scaving on lighthouse 20 min ques

[lusty raptor]

#1 is borderless windowed mode best or fullscreen? #2 what's the best post FX for being able to see the in the dark or get rid of this dark + white washed background

[safe elk]

If you have 2 monitors, borderless. If you have 1, fullscreen

[edgy plover]

Borderless
Post fx is personal, go into an offline raid, hit visualize on post fx screen, tune to your liking

[safe elk]

Also, if you have an nvidia GPU then adjust your nvidia control panel settings instead of using post fx to save frames

[lusty raptor]

Ok thanks. I'm on a laptop on external monitor

yes I Have nVidia

how am I waiting 7 min + for a scav on streets to match

cool loaded in and stepped on a landmine

[tidal lagoon]

cuz everyone wants to scav streets and barely any pmcs play it

[gilded bough]

do we all share the same weekly quests

[deep moss]

im i the only one who is in que for like 10 mins in a scav run?

[gilded bough]

its not u dunke

too many ppl scavvin

its lookin for open slot for u but long lines

[deep moss]

oh ok i thought it was bugged cuz normaly it work pretty fast

[severe bridge]

how do i load one shell at a time? i cant find it in settings

[tidal lagoon]

u can split the stack so u have a single shell then drag it onto the shotgun or u can cancel the reload after putting in 1 shell

[severe bridge]

I swear there was a setting for it

[north leaf]

why cant i load into a scav raid

[solemn raptor]

many people trying to scav now, best to just play PMC.

[gilded bough]

ppl be sellin mystery key for 50k less than therapist buys for lol

just made 150k in the menu

[solemn raptor]

sweet

[gilded bough]

can anyone help me with gunsmith 1 should i trust the wiki or is it chanfve

also is the SVT good?

[nimble ridge]

Can Anyone help me with a mission imm new

[solemn raptor]

what do you need help with?

[nimble ridge]

Intruduction

I keep dying:(

[woeful spruce]

You should always trust the wiki, the people managing it are baisically gods and change apropriate pages very fast, also as far as i can tell the first 3 gunsmiths have not been changed anyway so even more reasen to trust it

[woeful spruce]

Yes, very. I will be surprised if it doesnt get nerfed soon

[finite badge]

What's up with fence?

[ocean hatch]

lost all my gear ahd money trying to get the customs watch i got it a few times and some kills nut no extravts

[lone estuary]

anyone know why i cant run as a scav? it just sits there matching for 15+ mins?

[ocean hatch]

do i just run it with a knife or lootvrun

[daring stag]

Does anyone know where to find an updated ammo list?

[patent blade]

if you play with other players its rly quick but the maps that often work are interchange customs factory and shoreline

[patent blade]

wdym by that do you mean the list of ammos with their stats?

[daring stag]

Million people trying to scav interchange, not even worth trying

[patent blade]

for the maps i listed they may take up to 10 mins sometimes morebut if you wait it will get into one eventually

[lone estuary]

okay thanks

[daring stag]

I used to use this but its out of date. Trying to find a list with updated names. https://odealo.com/articles/escape-from-tarkov-ammo-chart

[patent blade]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics#5.56x45mm_NATO_anchor

this is the one most people use to find ammos and their stats

[solemn raptor]

hmm

[daring stag]

Nice. Thanks buddy

[patent blade]

nws

[orchid isle]

use eft-ammo .com

i cant paste link cus automad

[patent blade]

What I need help with though is finding salewa kits cus in other wipes I could find them on the first day of the wipe but not this one

[ocean hatch]

interchange

[patent blade]

where in interchange

[mental ember]

finally got my salewas bru

[ocean hatch]

theres like 2 or 3 medical shops i forgot what theyre called gonestly ill have to look

[mental ember]

bro i found 5 in woods 1st raid and died and havent found another for like 3 days

[burnt knot]

why cant I find a match for scav factory?

[mental ember]

long ques

its sunday

everyones playing

[burnt knot]

it kicked me out after like 20 min

[mental ember]

too many ques you got bugged

just clear cache

and run it back

[ocean hatch]

i tried scav once i qued for 15 mins then it said i died when i never gotvin lok

[patent blade]

dw i remember where to look but ty

[ocean hatch]

i just run pmc mostly anyway

[ocean hatch]

they usually have some

np

[burnt knot]

how?

[mental ember]

dms

[humble cave]

Why would you not trust the wiki?

[celest sage]

I mean the gunsmith sometimes isn’t right for a little

[gilded glen]

what is he trying to tell me?

[celest sage]

I think he’s hitting some moves and he’s just doing the pointing thing

[gilded glen]

makes sense 🤔

[tidal lagoon]

pointing to the way out

[river void]

Good map for salewa? I'm level 6 and can't find a single one on woods

[marble ether]

How do you do the Cease Fire quest? Snipers are shooting at me from somewhere before I can even get to the signal flare area.

[hollow oriole]

customs crackhouse or switch room underground

[woeful maple]

i can't join any raid, always "Game has been ended"

or whatever reason it kicks me before i even start loading loot

[severe thistle]

Scav out here thinkin he dio bruh

[mental ember]

Lf someone with tarcone key and on delivery from the past any region any hours

[mental ember]

LMAO

[severe thistle]

Where does lil bro think he is 😂

[restive linden]

im so bad i didnt win a single fight since wipe 😭

[gilded glen]

truuee

this one is doing the same

[dapper nest]

so I turned in prapor's debut quest but haven't got my rewards yet

do I wait?

[bold kernel]

ive been robbed

[severe thistle]

No lmao. Game has to be bugged then. You should always receive your reward after completing a quest

Check your messages tab with prapor

If its not there try restarting your game

[mystic cipher]

is this barter just completely broken or what?
even right at restock
its always "offer was sold out"

[severe thistle]

Weird its saying as if you’ve already bought the key

Have you?

[bold kernel]

I do it bro

[mystic cipher]

no i havent
and neither have my friends

[bold kernel]

is sooo hard

[mystic cipher]

none of my friends have been able to get the key

we all have the stuff for the barter

[severe thistle]

I hate to say it. But have you tried restarting? 😂

[mystic cipher]

multiple times

[severe thistle]

Including that verify game cache thing?

[mystic cipher]

at every restock even, its still "offer was sold out"

[severe thistle]

Yeah im ngl this wipe has been super buggy and broken

[mystic cipher]

no but i dont see why every single one of my friends would be encountering this

[severe thistle]

Hopefully BSG addresses these issues this upcoming week

[teal oak]

is it true you get banned if you bring your friend's gun the next raid?

[mystic cipher]

no lmfao

[severe thistle]

A lot of people have been occurring issues for quests and items

[severe thistle]

Absolutely not lmaoo

Whoever told you that is trolling

[mystic cipher]

its called rat strats
say you hid your friends gun in a bush and they will get it back
then you go in with it next raid

[severe thistle]

Im ngl i keep it 99 cause sometimes my homie dies with a meta gun and i take that shit for my solo raids later 😂

[mystic cipher]

so true
like
shouldnt have died lol

[tidal lagoon]

"oh yea i stashed it in the bush bro, idk how they found it"

[dapper nest]

still nothing

[chilly wadi]

i just bought the game where do i download

[tidal lagoon]

on the website in ur profile at bottom should be

ye not at bottom but in profile page big fat "Install" button

[severe thistle]

And you’ve tried pressing the deal button and everything?

[gilded bough]

Please forgive me for expressing any doubt, I just thought maybe someone found a newer way from some new attachment or somethin

[bold kernel]

it pays to sell tetris to a therapist or keep it for some quest

or firesteel?

[pearl palm]

firesteel is only required by collector, if u dont plan on doing that u can sell it

tetrizes arent required for anything, sell it

u can trade 2 tetriz + 2 greenbats for a btc, but its not a good barter

[bold kernel]

and propantank?

[pearl palm]

required for a few quests

well just one, 2 required for spa tour part 7

however quests give u like 4 of them, so u can use those for spa tour

[daring stag]

dude these fucking scavs what the shit.

they start firing immediatly and through bushes and trees

[bold kernel]

I can do gunsmith part #1 after 15 lvl?

[ancient jackal]

can someone explain this? https://streamable.com/xourl7

[limpid wadi]

As soon as you've hurt one, the others will start hunting you. And AI doesn't care about obstructed viiews

[flint pumice]

how effective is covert movement? It reduces the sound radius but that wont matter if faced with high perception no?

[unreal maple]

Looking to run with 1 to 2 people so I am not getting 1v4 on interchange lol

[pearl palm]

yea u need jaeger 2 for the gk02, which is lvl 15

u can do it early if u find a gk02 out in raid tho

[gilded glen]

did you press "Complete"

[gilded bough]

is there any penalty for failing a temp quest

[unreal maple]

no

[civic kiln]

dis good?

i can sell 22 for 90k with mechanic

should i horde until flea?

[whole thistle]

really good but the gun is impossible to get

[civic kiln]

huh??

[whole thistle]

you need jaeger level 4 and 25 shturman kills

[daring stag]

do filing cabnets still have gas analizers?

[severe thistle]

Pretty good if you can get your hands on the gun

[civic kiln]

[severe thistle]

Or you can find it off a dead guy 🤷‍♂️

[civic kiln]

no way in hell

im not that guy bro

look at this monstrocity i found on a scav

[near kettle]

For now

[civic kiln]

i geusse

[near kettle]

Snipers gonna snipe

[hollow oriole]

anyone got bunkhouse eu?

[civic kiln]

is it acc good or should i take the scop eand sell the rest

[mortal palm]

should come in ur email

[severe thistle]

Take the scope ditch the gun.

[near kettle]

this

[civic kiln]

yeah i figured

[near kettle]

Saiga is just a semi auto smg and a worse pp19

[severe thistle]

Always opt for gun parts rather than the whole gun. I could go in depth about price per slot but we’d be here all night

Unless its a meta build or a nice gun you know you will use just take the parts

Dont fill your stash with stuff you wont use

As simplified as i can explain it

[civic kiln]

i know pps

[storm tree]

no?

[civic kiln]

yeah i gotta fucking fix my stash

[civic kiln]

idk what the meta is lel

tbfair i just ficked it up cuz it looked goofy and i was gonna extract

[storm tree]

it 1 taps thorax on all armor

cant sell on flea btw

[whole thistle]

sorry its 20 times

[storm tree]

1 time

for amxc

?

[whole thistle]

oh i was thinking mk18

i forgot axmc exists

[storm tree]

yeah but it isn't the only gun that uses it

[severe thistle]

Auto sort is free 😂

[severe bison]

if i craft salewa and give therapist does it count for shortage?

[severe thistle]

Yes crafted items are FIR

[severe bison]

dope

[civic kiln]

its litt full

[near kettle]

We can help
Screenshots?

[civic kiln]

sure

[misty valley]

is anone not finding scav raids?

[near kettle]

Yes

[misty valley]

damm

[civic kiln]

i gotta get rid of the t bags i know

and the blue backpack

ill do that first

[severe thistle]

First things first. If you know you’re not gonna use it ditch it

[civic kiln]

im such a hoarder tho

[near kettle]

T bags, scav guns

[severe thistle]

I know its hard but just remind yourself you’ll always find more

[civic kiln]

not the scav guns ;(

[severe thistle]

T bags, and any scav guns GOT to go!

[near kettle]

fill your rigs and backpacks if you didnt

[civic kiln]

fine , thanks

[civic kiln]

i did ofc

[gilded glen]

does anyone have NVGs?

[near kettle]

You can almost afford a junk case

[gilded glen]

cuz I found this

[gilded bough]

think of each rig and bag in your stash as making an investment in your renewable stash space. Make each unit in your stash save you $$ on things you might have to buy at some point..

[severe thistle]

Id 100% make the investment for scav junkbox

[civic kiln]

is this good? or should i sell to therapist?

[severe thistle]

Decent key

[mortal palm]

is 10+ minute wait times normal for everyone getting into games?

[near kettle]

Buy a fuckton of CSAs and put stuff in them

[civic kiln]

wich map

[gilded bough]

CSA?

[severe thistle]

Labs

[near kettle]

Labs

The 2x3 rig from Ragman

Imo best space save

For a hoarder

[gilded glen]

What are golden chains needed for?

[civic kiln]

i have never been to labs or streets loo

or lighthous i think

is this good?

also i should keep the sausage right

[gilded glen]

yes

[civic kiln]

?

[near kettle]

its alright

but doesn't do much more damage than regular sabot

[civic kiln]

ill keep it

[near kettle]

if you dont intend on playing shotguns i would sell

[civic kiln]

i got scav case

i was gonna say we up but ''we'' poor as fuck 🔥

[whole thistle]

not really

its less overall damage than buckshot

[versed valley]

no shit

regular slugs like ftx or poleva6 which are still bad, are better

[cloud stump]

Where to find iksra’s?

[near kettle]

This is just a basic 9x19

[civic kiln]

ration crates , if ur looking for wood go to mil outpost on woobs bro

[civic kiln]

kk

[limpid wadi]

new FMJ 882 is basically PST. The number difference is so small that it doesn't matter

[civic kiln]

yeah did they change the ammo ive been sooooo confuzed

what ammos did they change exactly?

[limpid wadi]

I wish they just gave us the numbers in-game...
All we need is velocity, damage, and pen.

[tacit blaze]

Another one for the NEW PLAERS 🙂 https://youtu.be/F32rHEKp18Y

[simple flax]

??wipe

[carmine lantern]

The wipe is LIVE! You can download it now.

[near kettle]

You got the letters wrong

[vale plinth]

Sooo my stash is a complete mess. is there eny guides/tips to organize my stash?

[flint pumice]

just auto sort, it gets easier over time, just until you hit junk boxes

my problem is, is that I dont know what to sell lol. Im a hoarder

[vale plinth]

mee too man. my stash is full

[near kettle]

get yourself a hideout app or sth

[vale plinth]

on my phone?

[flint pumice]

why when I can manage on my pc?

[near kettle]

Yes there is app "The Hideout" on Android at least

[flint pumice]

unless its seamless then Im in

promoted by BSG?

[near kettle]

dunno about that

[flint pumice]

eeek, sounds sketch, but Im on iOS

[spark cypress]

what are the requirements for resting space level 3 i want to plan ahead

[flint pumice]

i forgot how fun factory was when fixing those alarms lol

[flat nest]

how do i move my character ?

[mortal orbit]

bunkhouse key not spawning?

[flint pumice]

Tarkov Wiki

[versed valley]

check wiki

[orchid dagger]

What do the numbers mean on the right hand side?

[maiden orchid]

as an absolute ape, i keep managing to kill scavs on my scav runs, im wondering if theres some way to be more certain of who is what, and if theres a good way to get the rep back up, currently i just survive to gain rep at this point. Most of my failures are from factory since its small

[orchid dagger]

Do car extracts, you get lots of rep from those

[maiden orchid]

noted, thank you

[civic kiln]

w or nah

[versed valley]

nah

[orchid dagger]

not really

[versed valley]

its a semi auto 9mm

low recoil but its a semi auto 9mm so no

[civic kiln]

the recoil is nice tho

kk so sell?

also this\

i have 214 too

[daring stag]

which flares call in airdrops?

[civic kiln]

colored ones

[orchid dagger]

green doesn't?

[frosty musk]

Red

[orchid dagger]

red definetly does

[versed valley]

red

only red

[tacit blaze]

Rookie misatke! thanks ❤️

[hexed dirge]

you might find success with it but the that stock iron is trash

[bold kernel]

For TSP - Unprotected but Dangerous, can I wear a Armored tac rig?

[white pond]

31 degrees midnight 💀

[bold kernel]

Jaeger* But great video

[frigid finch]

just unequip your armor or rig before you kill scavs...its really easy

[chilly wadi]

whats the dif between the two factions?

[frigid finch]

USEC is currently the better faction to choose because rogues wont auto-aggro you on lighthouse (with some exceptions)....BEAR will eventually get a compound that is similar, but right now its not in the game

[limpid wadi]

BEAR has the better drip.

[frosty musk]

Cosmetics, starting gear, voicelines, and rogue behavior

[frigid finch]

you can trick dumb player scavs as bear with your voiceline lol

[civic kiln]

is this good?

quikc pls middel of raid

[frosty musk]

No

[covert nest]

whats the best pistol to use for stirup task

[severe thistle]

Awful round dump it

[severe thistle]

Glock

imo

[storm tree]

better than what u can buy tho, no?

[severe thistle]

Hell. No.

[storm tree]

idk I'd use it over tracer

[hexed dirge]

i also like the glock, but the p226 and pl15 are in my rotation

[severe thistle]

It does 65 damage 15 pen. It wouldnt even pen level 2-3 armor. 5.45x39 guns dont have a high enough firerate to even makeup for that

[storm tree]

lets say lvl 1 traders

what ammo would u use

[severe thistle]

PS GS ll1 prapor after delivery from the past

48 damage 31 pen

Can pen tier 3 easy

[hexed dirge]

probably try to get something cheap off fence

[severe thistle]

Never buy from fence 😭

[storm tree]

U need tarcone office key for that bro

not happening

for a newbie

[severe thistle]

Easy early quest. Your starting ammo is good enough to get you past that quest.

[hexed dirge]

but if i don’t have flea and i don’t want to run what i have available, fence it is

[severe thistle]

A newbie should be focusing on getting quests done and looting rather than PVP

[hexed dirge]

i think someone earlier today said it’s a pvp game you can’t avoid it forever

[storm tree]

Bro even I dont got the key 💀

[severe thistle]

Developing a foundation for you to have better PVP is the goal

[bold kernel]

IF you go for "scav kills"... in a team, does the team kills count also for yours?

[severe thistle]

There are almost a hundred VC’s in this discord 9/10 someone in at least one has the key

[severe thistle]

Unfortunately no

[bold kernel]

Ok.

thanks

understandable

[severe thistle]

Np brotherman 🤝

[hexed dirge]

fence expensive but he’s a means to an end

[bold kernel]

kudos

[severe thistle]

You cant avoid it. But at first you should at least minimize your pvp encounters until you are able to buy something to really defend yourself against level 3-4 armors

[pearl palm]

ive gotten impacts from fence before, but thats pretty rare
basically ur paying a lot, and its only worth it if u can get something banned from flea and unavailable from traders

[severe thistle]

The starting ammo is there to help you get to that point

[rigid plover]

i have disconnected 3 times already in one wood sraid

[hexed dirge]

okay that is true some things you can’t get on the flea

maybe that’s why i’m always so broke

[bold kernel]

Leave raid (via extract or Disconnect) not able to fix iirc

[rigid plover]

im so close to extract tho i jus wanna get out

and it keeps happening

im like close to scav house

and i jus dced twice inna row

[violet kernel]

Can anyone help me out and unlock the 206 dorm for a therapist quest ? (dm me)

[rigid plover]

omg

i jus extracted 0 water no legs and low health

[restive linden]

I have PT-3 stock in my stash but i cant put it on my AK-74M even though it says its for it?

[violet kernel]

you might have parts that do conflict with the stock

can you please send a screenshot ?

[restive linden]

it says its for AK-74M in the description but when i hover over the Compatible with i dont see it

ik i need the lock for it but still dont see my ak in the compatible with available

[violet kernel]

i am not sure but i think you might need a lock.

i might be wrong

[restive linden]

yea i need it but weird that it doesnt show

[gray shadow]

Greetings, fellow enthusiasts of Escape from Tarkov,

I find myself ensnared in a rather perplexing predicament within the virtual confines of this intricate realm. Regrettably, my in-game possessions have been reduced to a meager 6,000 rubles, an amount that scarcely affords me even a modicum of resources. It is not my intent to provoke inquiries regarding the peculiar sequence of events that have led to my current circumstances. As a novice participant in this virtual arena, I am beset by uncertainties regarding the most prudent course of action.

In light of this, I humbly seek counsel from those more experienced in the ways of this virtual world. I implore you, esteemed individuals, to share your insights and recommendations concerning the optimal path I should undertake. It is no exaggeration to say that my inventory is currently devoid of any discernible possessions. Your expertise and advice would be of immense value to a player such as myself, navigating this unfamiliar terrain.

play scav

[gray shadow]

Indeed, the prevailing circumstances are undeniably unfortunate. Might there be any other knowledgeable individuals present who could potentially extend their expertise and aid in this matter? Your contribution would be greatly appreciated.

[violet kernel]

learn loot routes

there are a lot of videos

[gray shadow]

I express my gratitude for your valuable assistance, and I shall duly retain your insights in my contemplation moving forward.

[violet kernel]

👍🏻

very important tip- dont get into the fights you dont need

[restive linden]

dont worry mate u arent the first nor the last to be at that point

[vale plinth]

im shit at the game. and i have full stash. all i do is go to costums keep to myself. kill some scavs and extract. nothing fancy or going after pmc kills etc.

[restive linden]

if u manage to keep to yourself on customs congratulations xd

[rigid plover]

my scav hasnt been loading any reasons?

[vale plinth]

and keeping away from the big buildings

[vale plinth]

slow matchmaking

just wait a few minuts and it will start

[rigid plover]

but usually it doesnt take this long like ever?

or atleast for me

[vale plinth]

yeah

[vale plinth]

usally it takes around 7 to 12 min for me to load into my scavs

[rigid plover]

you think its jus cuz of wipe bc pre wipe it took maybe 4 max for me

and early wipe day i was getting into raids as scav in less than 5

finally loadikng

[vale plinth]

yeah bc of wipe. meny players are playing scavs in early wipe to get stacked up on gear

[vale plinth]

Good luck!:D

[rigid plover]

Thanks!

[rigid plover]

worth the wait?

[gray shadow]

I find myself in a situation where I am consistently encountering a substantial influx of players, a circumstance which invariably leads to my utter defeat. Might I beseech your guidance and expertise to navigate this daunting challenge more effectively? Your insights would undoubtedly prove invaluable in enhancing my prospects within the virtual realm.

Might anyone possess knowledge of a cost-effective loadout that aligns with budgetary considerations? Your discerning insights in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

[solemn raptor]

I can help you :)

[gray shadow]

wdym

[woeful sluice]

should i buy the carbine version of the mosin or the other one? i see that there is a difference in ergonomics...in what way does that influence the gameplay

[gray shadow]

ok

[bold kernel]

for operation water 1 do I have to extract (I guess no from later task u dont have to like the one drug place in the containers u just have to visit)

[solemn raptor]

what? you asked if anyone had knowledge of budget loadouts?

[gray shadow]

yes can you please hand over that information

[solemn raptor]

Got to say mate, love the way you type!

[bold kernel]

sks 👍

[gray shadow]

say nuin g

[solemn raptor]

?

[gray shadow]

nvm

just please tell me the buget kit

[solemn raptor]

[gray shadow]

[bold kernel]

[misty valley]

Wsg gang

[clear oracle]

im decently bad at this game and im trying to get good at it but i suck at pvp
if anyone wanna help dm me

[misty valley]

sure

[bold kernel]

for operation water 1 do I have to extract (I guess no from later task u dont have to like the one drug place in the containers u just have to visit)

[vague pawn]

does anyone need help getting the customs cargo for skier?

[pearl furnace]

I like 20k helmet, 20k PACA, 10k bank robber rig, and probably an SKS or shotgun as my cheap go-to. Substitute PP-19 for those guns if you prefer something full auto, but be warned that it's more of a tickler than a killer.

[bold kernel]

for operation water 1 do I have to extract or can I die mid riad

[restive linden]

operation aquarius?

yes u gotta extract

room 206 key is 40 times usable, in case you die u gotta go again to room and then extract

[dusk nymph]

This is my first wipe actually trying to play and i have somewhat of an idea of what to do, any maps that are good for a solo?

[solemn raptor]

you definetely want to learn customs. It has a lot of veriety and early quests

[supple owl]

Somebody help me the game says that as a directors key is sold out but it’s obviously not

[solemn raptor]

factory can be good to get a lot of combat training in within a short timeframe. @dusk nymph

[solemn raptor]

it is, it's a UI bug.

[supple owl]

Therapist just restocked

[dusk nymph]

i know customs pretty well, the extracts, where i spawn but i always get killed by a pmc

[solemn raptor]

do you know why you're getting killed?

[dusk nymph]

js bad gear/weapons ig

[solemn raptor]

just as in 2 seconds ago? on wipe day I was 5 seconds late and it was already sold out because i got a recapcha haha. Next time i bought it within 2 seconds and that worked.

[solemn raptor]

wrong answer I'm afraid :/

[supple owl]

fuck this game dude i jsut need the fucking key

[frigid finch]

just run customs

it will be open already in like 75% of raids

[solemn raptor]

@dusk nymph I obviously do not know what your situation really is, but try to be patient and clear everything before going. And I mean everything. Ideally you should never get caught out.

[dusk nymph]

alr

ty

[sturdy mango]

is this afk player scav or pmc?:D

[solemn raptor]

scav

[bold kernel]

When I visit a convoy die, I have to do the whole mission again?

[uncut nimbus]

search mission? then yes

[solemn raptor]

if the "convoy" subtask is blue in the task menu then no, if it's not blue then yes you have to do it again.

[frigid finch]

love dying to cheaters with BP ammo

[dusk nymph]

never playing customs again, got tarkoved for the second time in a row not even a minute into spawn 😭

[dusk nymph]

fr

[frigid finch]

[lilac sage]

[modest garnet]

trying to launch as a scav in to woods and it is just spinning on matching, any reason?

[frigid finch]

why is the animation for characters holding guns so broken this wipe

longest shot so far lol

[tepid mulch]

best thing to buy and sell to skier for trader lvl? dont say euro because euros are used for nothing

[supple owl]

tbh i would just make my own ADARs

they are good guns

[slow swallow]

Hey guys, Im lvl 25 but its my frist wipe after few years. Could you help me to choose which is good weapon to choose for closerange mostly sometimes midrange.
Budget like 200k max

[mellow belfry]

which therapist quest gives the med crate? I am on supply plans, population census, general wares, car repair, health care privacy part 3, which path leads to the med crate? I have a quest map but it is really out dated, so if there is an up to date one then that would be useful as well. Thank you

[tepid mulch]

how is that good because you cant sell it back to him

can someone give me an actual answer '

[supple owl]

i was joking

[tepid mulch]

sorry

[supple owl]

[tepid mulch]

thanks

[slender python]

Anyone got tarcone who could help me out? i tried lfg and im having no luck, got all the stuff for the barter and cant exchange for the key

[pearl furnace]

Murder everyone and survive to tell about it, I guess?

[final laurel]

Anyone have dorm 114 key or dorms marked and be willing to open it for me for quests I can guard you while you loot dorms too

[pearl furnace]

Hey, I'm just a lowly lvl 5, so that's how it looks from down here in the bottom of the barrel. Hahaha

[whole thistle]

You do the hard ones

[cold yarrow]

Whats check 13 key worth? Can it be traded in market?

[left summit]

I cant place my water bottle in the zb14 bunker any advice ?

[whole thistle]

Open then close inventory

[left summit]

You plant in the corner near the messed up box

[lunar ibex]

Do you also know where i need to place the water in zb 16 ? @whole thistle

Nvmd found it

[mortal salmon]

Since when did streets get covered in mines 😦

3x raids in a row ive got quest item, then blown up on way to extract ha

[hazy bloom]

When I join a group as a scav how do I see who I joined in game

[whole thistle]

Ask around i guess lol

No real point in grouping with random as scav

[whole thistle]

Maybe when I'm 80 and retired

[whole thistle]

What's this for?

[hollow saffron]

its around lexos to stop people shooting the boss through gaps

just avoid lexos lol

[lavish kindle]

why is my VPO 209 not hitting from 150 to 200 meters? even dead-eye standing still.. holding my breath in crosshairs

[whole thistle]

Is it hitting low?

It would just be zeroing then

[lavish kindle]

not sure.. how do u zero in.? I have my site set for the distance

[whole thistle]

The distance thing is what I meant

Is it going high or low or what?

[lavish kindle]

i guess go in offline and shoot at a wall to see

[whole thistle]

It might just be the accuracy if it's going randomly around it

[bold kernel]

I got one too runs fine

I play on stretch tho

[lavish kindle]

i hit fine with my m700 of vepr

or

[lunar ibex]

StarField

[slow kestrel]

[lunar ibex]

[foggy bay]

[lavish kindle]

[lunar ibex]

prepurchase rn

[bold kernel]

when are gunsmiths worth doing

[simple epoch]

[ocean hatch]

whats the best edition to upgrade to

is eod worth it

[uncut nimbus]

Like u get a Gamma container

its pretty Noice

[outer summit]

if you are enjoying hte game alot and plan on playing it alot then yeh EoD Edition is definitely worth it.

[rich quarry]

any tips for doing stirrup

[spark ferry]

yo does wearing a helmet count as body armor??

[nocturne moat]

how to avoid chunky lardos who d2 camp

[nocturne moat]

yes

[dawn geyser]

Do you wear a helmet on your Body

[celest sage]

If you’re upgrading from standard it’s usually eod or nothing

[outer summit]

yup

[near kettle]

Don't go d2

[outer summit]

avoid D2

[nocturne moat]

no more d2

[hexed dirge]

put sights on your glock? the moment i figured out my glock didn't have sights it was over for them

i was just trying to get my ergo as high as possible on a glock and then bomb rush some armored up chud

[white pond]

the one below eod is good

[hexed dirge]

eod is the only one including tarkov arena tho

[white pond]

so?

[hexed dirge]

idk i think it's going to be an interesting title that anyone who's playing eft would be interested to know about

price about to increase right

[dusty glen]

New to game, anyone wanna help a scrub?

[celest sage]

If you plan to only play short term maybe? But the season pass and arena are really good

[hexed dirge]

i think a lot of players are going to see tarkov arena and think it will be an easier way to learn the game mechanically separate from maps and they might wish they'd upgraded while the price is cheap

[gilded bough]

how many x54R shots to tagilla head to kill him?

[pearl palm]

depends on the ammo and how it pens

[gilded bough]

BT shouldn't take more than 3 shots yeah?

[silent cosmos]

anyone wanna run customs to get the watch

[pearl palm]

should 1-2 tap

[gilded bough]

thx

[pearl palm]

it 2 taps guaranteed pretty sure actually
tagilla has 100 hp and BT flies through class 5

[orchid isle]

hp bt back of head 1 shot

[pearl palm]

oh right they added 2 new bad BTs for 54r didnt they

[bold kernel]

is anyone able to lend a hand for Jaegers letter everytime i get my bearings I get absolutely blasted before extracting

[silent cosmos]

I would but i just got off 😔

[bold kernel]

All good brother, Appreciate you no less

[gilded bough]

do yall think x51mm TCP would 1 tap through c3 chest?

87 flesh, 30 pen

[pearl palm]

never

[storm tree]

yes

[pearl palm]

nope, armor reduces damage even if it pens

[storm tree]

wait 1 tap

[pearl palm]

• losing damage over distance

[storm tree]

probs no

would fuck u up tho

[pearl palm]

nah, its never

[gilded bough]

thx

[pearl palm]

unless the armor was zeroed already

[gilded bough]

how bout APM .366?

[storm tree]

that does

Ive done it before

[pearl palm]

one taps regularly

its not consistent and u need to be pretty close tho

yea u need to be within like 50m to one tap class 3
and u can never one tap class 4

[gilded bough]

thanks knee

is there a ez way to simulate these shots or whatever how do u figure it out

[hexed dirge]

i think a lot of this is theoretical

just doing quick math with some simple math

simple numbers

[gilded bough]

MPX Green tracer at night is so cool

[sinful valve]

Hey guys is there any chance of violet keycard going up in price on the flea? I just grabbed one and I’m debating selling it or holding

[pearl palm]

for pen, 7 is the magic number
37 pen pens class 4 50/50
47 pen pens class 5 50/50 etc

• damage mitigation

[gilded bough]

what's best recoil foregrip at level 16

thx knee

[marble ether]

How much (roughly) speed is reduced when you are overweight (yellow)?

Is it negligible or significant

[lunar ibex]

you have flea but do you have money

[gilded bough]

well i didn't wanna spend anything ridiculous somethin less than 15k

[pearl palm]

just buy the kac vertical foregrip for the ergo

its not worth spending for foregrips at this point

[zenith arch]

how do i get gym?

[forest quarry]

How is yall getting the scav runs to work? It never finds a raid

[pearl furnace]

Longest I had to wait was 17min for Interchange scav run. Shortest is 5min to Factory.

[median heart]

its so annoying jesus

[hexed dirge]

this depends on the level of a couple skills i think, so it'll gradually train as you are overweight but the short answer is just a few kg is probably negligible

you lose probably one tick of speed every 1.5 - 2 kg

[tropic cloud]

Does someone have portable bunkhouse key I need it for a quest its my first wipe!

[median heart]

guys why did tarkov decide to give me a cursor crosshair randomly

[pearl palm]

happens if u unplug ur mouse or a new mouse gets plugged in, at least for me

have to restart to get rid of it

[median heart]

bruh why does it kinda work

[median heart]

alr will do once i get out of the damn raid lolol

[pearl palm]

really helps with pointfiring lol

oh and i meant restart game, not whole pc

[uncut sluice]

Does anyone know how much will the game price increase? I thought the 12 day countdown meant that the 15% off would last 12 days...

[sly vapor]

hello

[azure dove]

Loookin for an experienced teammate. new to the game

[alpine jacinth]

is there any spreadsheet or link that has items to keep and not sell?

[steady hazel]

can someone help me with the game? im looking for someone who can show me the ropes and some good loot places. Also where to find the quest and missions

[sly vapor]

my game keeps crashing when i try to play scav or after a few raids my pc can handle it idk what the problem is drivers are up to date none are corrupeted any tips?

[hexed dirge]

what are your computer specs

[mellow rock]

@coarse wagon@robust basalt@supple ore@main jay Sorry i can't, you guys are like snakes without heads, You can't even pay attention to your surroundings, you don't know who's who, your scatter'd and not even watching your teammates. but overall you guys need to focus on team work instead of looting scavs. You just let a pmc walk up to me and just ditched me while we were fighting player's.

[crimson geyser]

anyone have tips on where to find iskras

[sly vapor]

brother got it for me so no idea pmc runs fine no crashes but like when i try to switch to scav and it doesnt load and i go to pmc it crashes then or crashes when i try to load scav ive had this for like 3 years so it may just be shitting the bed

[hexed dirge]

well you should definitely confirm what your computer specifications are 🙂

[lean perch]

how do i unlock the bitcoin farm?

[sly vapor]

[celest sage]

That’s your fault

There’s a sign

You left the map boundary

[hollow veldt]

Damn really?

that fucking sucks

[celest sage]

Invisible sniper scav kills you if you leave the map

That’s why there’s the sign on the tracks

[hollow veldt]

i didnt see it 😦

[orchid isle]

Ye it does that when u get killed by sniper Scav

[celest sage]

Just the tarkov process

You die over and over until you just don’t

[orchid isle]

Not sure if u get ur gear back bc it’s out of the map

[hollow veldt]

im so pissed got 9k rubles now

[orchid isle]

What level r u

[celest sage]

Falling thru map sucks though since your teammate can’t grab it

[hollow veldt]

[orchid isle]

Go hit some loot runs on woods or streets loot buff this wipe is op

This is legit end of wipe loot buff kind of

[hollow veldt]

i dont know those maps wanna help me run streets?

[celest sage]

I’m liking filing cabinets a lot this wipe

I’m playing hardcore but if I could scav I’d just go reserve

Grab some filings and your whole bag full

[orchid isle]

I quit this wipe

[celest sage]

I didn’t play last wipe and now my group is playing hardcore this one

Having fun again on tarkov for the first time in bit

[orchid isle]

This wipe is a filler wipe so I coudlnt bother w it

[celest sage]

That’s why we play hardcore

[orchid isle]

Also got some stuff going on so prolly gonna be out next wipe too

[celest sage]

Next wipe my last before college so it’s gonna be the one prob

[orchid isle]

I’ll play in 2 wipes

My senior year is chill

[celest sage]

You in hs?

[orchid isle]

Yea

[celest sage]

Wait is this your senior or next

[orchid isle]

Next

[celest sage]

Like you’re going into junior

[orchid isle]

Alr in junior

[celest sage]

O my school hasn’t started yet

[orchid isle]

Ahh ok

[celest sage]

I get you though

[orchid isle]

Yea gotta grind this year

[celest sage]

Yeah I’m thinking 2nd semester senior when college apps are done I’ll have all of the free time

[orchid isle]

Shi college apps forgot

I’ll prolyl have em done over the summer

[celest sage]

That’s what I said

And here I am

[orchid isle]

Lmao

[uncut sluice]

Try trakov tracker

[opaque dagger]

I have a factory quest where I need to find a gas analyzer. Am I able to do that as a scav or do I have to go in as pmc?

[pearl palm]

a factory quest? im pretty sure operational quests for items dont require u to find them on specifc locations

[opaque dagger]

I believe it specifically says factory but I will double check when I die in here lol

[crimson geyser]

you can find it as a scav as well @opaque dagger

does anyone know where is best to find iskras?

[pearl palm]

look for places with food spawns, depends on the maps
but for containers specifically u can find them in sport bags, wooden crates, dead scavs, weapon boxes

[crimson geyser]

any map in particular u recommend?

like can interchange spawn them on the shelves?

[pearl palm]

hmm i dont think they spawn in goshan shelves

[crimson geyser]

damn ok

just have had such a hard time finding them

[pearl palm]

u can craft them in the nutrition unit 1 if u get desperate enough

[crimson geyser]

lmao ok fair enough

[opaque dagger]

In the top right where it says factory, that means I have to get it there?

[crimson geyser]

for that task no, theres that poertion that says (optional) gain access... etc. thats the part that is in factory

[pearl palm]

oh yea

[crimson geyser]

but its not needed to do for the quest

[pearl palm]

yea u can find it anywhere, i never noticed it was for factory lol is that a recent change

[crimson geyser]

you can just find a gas an in raid whether on a scav or pmc and turn it in to complete the quest

i think its always said that but ive never done that for the task

[opaque dagger]

Ohhhhhhhh

I thought the top right where it said “factory” meant it had to be done at that map

Thank god, it was hell there 🤣

[crude anvil]

its hell everywhere just less hot

[opaque dagger]

Lmao true

[rough shuttle]

Does anyone know why when I launch my game it freezes, whitescreens and says it isnt responding

[desert gate]

can someone help me with my graphic settings? dm if you can

[whole thistle]

All I know is turn off every check box at the bottom

[desert gate]

i do that

[pearl copper]

This a good pouch to run with? haven't play this game for 2~3 wipes now, not sure how to run with the new stims yet

[languid owl]

[pearl copper]

that's my poorman etg ;p, going to swap it for green stim once I have more roubles, just maxing hideout rn

[pearl palm]

too much stuff id say

meldonins should be popped at the start of the raid, so no need in case
adrenaline is too low duration, if ur gonna use it, it should be hotkeyed
dont need 2 propitols
dont need perfotora
missing a bleed stim, a mule and an ETGC

my case is pretty much
propitol, etgc, bleed stim (ahfi/zagustin), etgc, mule

this gives u a lot more room to loot injectors
this depends on where ur looting tho

[whole thistle]

Def bring a mule if you can

You won't need it often but it'll help a ton sometimes

[pearl palm]

its for the rare giga loot run

[whole thistle]

Yeah

[pearl palm]

killed goons night lighthouse, left with nearly 90 kgs of loot thanks to mule

[edgy plover]

Obd 2>

Also cheaper

[celest sage]

I think it might just be an old one

A few years ago gasan used to be very common in pumping but it’s not any more afaik

[dire wagon]

I just bought usd from peacekeeper and it didn’t level him up. Did they change this.

[celest sage]

Now pumping is useless

[celest sage]

Did it give you the spending

[dire wagon]

No

It just stayed the same amount

[celest sage]

Interesting

Restart game to be sure

[dire wagon]

I have the clip to prove too

[celest sage]

And then ig just spend the dollars

[dire wagon]

Yeah

[celest sage]

Buy pistols from him and then sell them back and it should only cost a few hundred k

[dire wagon]

Thank you

[dire wagon]

What pistol in particular

[celest sage]

Uhhh I don’t remember you could just check each

[distant lintel]

hey yall

[celest sage]

See which gives you the most back relative to how much you spent

I don’t remember what item is optimal but I feel like it was one of the pistols? Not sure

[crude anvil]

this is bullshit how many more infinite queue bugs can i get

[dapper nest]

I blame exfilcamper

for ruining exfils

got a sledgehammer, ledx, 2 salewas for therapist

[crude anvil]

still havent left 🙂

man i love this game sometimes

[nimble ridge]

Where can i find the stortage missions medkits? I can’t find any

[pearl palm]

obd2 debuffs are too severe, makes traversal a lot harder

[whole thistle]

Look specifically in med spawns

Like customs crack house or the woods med camp next to the Jaeger plane

[pearl copper]

so I replace oblbodoblos 2 for that

[pearl copper]

I thought perfotora is bleed stim? like zagustin but better

Also, my friend told me BSG did a lot of changes to armor or something last wipe, I' mtrying to look into it but can't find any information regarding it yet, can anyone help point me to that direction? (my progresssion always been class 4 like rat rig, then move to gzhel/tactec in the past)

[crude anvil]

how much is it

[coarse wagon]

My brother in Christ. Kind of hard to hear scavs, let alone PMCs with you constantly yelling into your mic. I hope you find a good group to play with that can tolerate you.

[mellow rock]

You can't hear without being there anyways.

[crude anvil]

shooterborn way easier now

[mellow rock]

since you know, you wasn't

[pearl palm]

yea u right my b

i just use ahf1 all the time

[frosty whale]

i went into a scav run and then it said connection lost and it says im still in the raid. when i reconnect it says cant connect. what do

[nimble ridge]

Thanks bro

[edgy plover]

disagree, but valid opinion
the fewer people buy them, the cheaper they are for me

[crude anvil]

dont connect its only a scav

[frosty whale]

but what if hes lonely😢

[spark crater]

What should be my counterplay to playerscavs as a PMC? I'm often finding myself getting to the loot after I've cleared all of possible hostiles, including players, and encountering far too many playerscavs for me to beat, should I just go naked so I can get to the loot faster, and avoid confrontation entirely?

[pearl palm]

dont stay too long

[spark crater]

Like am I playing too slow and methodically? I feel like my playstyle should be fine but I just can't even get the chance to loot before playerscavs descend upon it.

[pearl palm]

u should be aiming to get something done and get out as soon as possible
whether its a loot run or a quest run etc

[spark crater]

Well at the moment I'm very poor, so I would like to get some nice money items but I can't seem to do that before playerscavs get to it first, I suppose I need to just run a lighter kit and rambo.

[distant lintel]

god its hard to think people arent still cheating

just got out of a match, i was deep in a bush, not moving for 2 mins. a guy just runs right up to me and starts firing.

very sus how he knew right where i was

hoping it was honest. but i saw how many cheaters they have been banning.

[edgy plover]

Of course there's still cheaters

[distant lintel]

sucks. its like. how do you totally stop it right?

but my game experience isnt fun when this happens

[edgy plover]

They'll always be there, but it's way better than it was in the past

Hopefully that trend continues

[distant lintel]

people try to contract us to make cheats for them all the time. we always report them t o the game they want to cheat on

[crude anvil]

last night i had a very very sus dude on customs crackhouse. i wont bother explaining what happened but just loud svd 3tap thorax gamer

dont wanna call cheats generally

[distant lintel]

yeah its just very very sus

[crude anvil]

but that was the first time THIS wipe i was questioning it alot xd

[distant lintel]

i was in a bush. went to go get a water in RL

come back and hear footsteps. and then he runs right tto me and opens up. i didnt move, shift gear. nothing. all bush.

[edgy plover]

There will always be way more money in developing cheats than developing anti-cheat, so the issue will never be eradicated. But there's some creative options out there to combat them. Hoping Tarkov goes that way

[crude anvil]

but overall this wipe is great, way less sus/obvious cheaters

[distant lintel]

anyway. not a big deal. just hope they are still cleaning people out. i would like to enjoy this new wipe

[crude anvil]

im just sitting in a corner rn gonna go extract in like 20 min once all the action is over.

[distant lintel]

i dont get the fun in the cheating. lol but w/e lol

[pearl palm]

theres a bug rn i think where u make noise in bush even while being perfectly still

[distant lintel]

ah nice to know

[edgy plover]

Some people are just bad and like to know they're making other people miserable.
Nothing near as satisfying as actually improving in the game, but not everyone has the willpower to do that.
There's also profit to be had in cheating.
What I don't get at all is the people that pay for cheaters to carry them.

[distant lintel]

i would love a solo mode. i keep running into 4 squads. pointless to even fight

yeah i get people wanting my company to make cheats for them on this game and others. i report them to the devs of that game

[crude anvil]

there is one 🤫

[distant lintel]

people get banned for cheating and have to buy a new game lol i dont get it

where is an only solo mode? i havent seen it

[edgy plover]

He's talking about a solo queue mode where only other single PMCs can join

[crude anvil]

cant talk about it in this dc

[edgy plover]

Not SPT

[crude anvil]

oh nvm then

[edgy plover]

SPT is boring as hell, that's another one I don't really get

but yea, not smiled upon to discuss in here

[distant lintel]

ah ok

[crude anvil]

solo only would be cool ig

doubt they will add it,

[pearl palm]

(plenty of mods u can mess around with in t)

[edgy plover]

No PvP = No real stakes = Boring as could be

imo

[austere hound]

It's for people who die to scavs ig. I've never gotten it either

[pearl palm]

i mean, arguably the pmcs in spt are harder since they have aimbot
altho thats not new in live either lol

[desert gate]

can you still find portable cabin key in the locked room next to office????

[mortal orbit]

Can someone help me complete bad rep evidence, I can’t find bunkhouse key

[crude anvil]

ok got out with the ledx xd

[edgy plover]

those aren't PMCs...

those are just bots

[pearl palm]

it simulates PMCs by giving them PMC gear but with AI
so ull get hit in the chest by a .338 AP from 300 meters away by a bot who insta locked onto you

[crude anvil]

thought ledx was worth more 😕

[edgy plover]

It's just a fancy bot, like a rogue, raider, or boss guard

[edgy plover]

they spike later in wipe

no one needs them yet

[pearl palm]

ye, so once u figure out the AI and just headshot them from cover like rogues it gets boring

[wet axle]

pmc = player

[vital oasis]

good raid.

[crude anvil]

pmc = private military contractor

[pearl palm]

ye

[wet axle]

no

[crude anvil]

🤷‍♂️

[austere hound]

Ayo. I found a moonshine earlier but had to 1v2 at sawmill with mosin close range to get it out

[wet axle]

gamma it

[vital oasis]

did you win? haha

[pearl palm]

rip everyone who discovered the double click to use mechanic and used their moonshine

[edgy plover]

f

[vital oasis]

i disabled it asap lol

[crude anvil]

also why is the ledx so expensive its just a light to see veins

[austere hound]

Yes. I caught one with his pants down and one tapped the other guy while he was running lmao. I probably got reported. Moonshine was in my ass anyways, but at least I can flea it when I hit 15

[vital oasis]

uber rare

[vital oasis]

my brother

mosin gang >>>

[crude anvil]

ik its rare, just asking why its expensive

[austere hound]

We eat BIG this wipe!

[wet axle]

because its a video game

[crude anvil]

think about it its just a light lol

[wet axle]

video game reasons.

[vital oasis]

simple economics lol

[pearl palm]

its just bc its rare and bsg gives it high value with barters and such
its weird bc it wouldnt be so expensive irl

[crude anvil]

would be like 5 eur irl

[pearl palm]

same with ophtmaloscopes

[severe thistle]

I guess PMC’s like to sit in their hideout looking at their roid raged veins all day

[crude anvil]

woods shotgun scavs are a different breed man

like 50+m away i hear shots

turn to look and im dead

[severe thistle]

They’re reincarnations of chris kyle

[edgy plover]

Chris kyles main mistake was not sniping with buckshot

His kill count would have been 1000+

[severe thistle]

Absolutely

He could’ve also broke his own record of shooting a 6 mile shot

[vital oasis]

havenmt seen a single flash drive this wipe 😦

[severe thistle]

Loot dem file cabinets son

I live, breath, eat file cabinets

[vital oasis]

i hit them every chance i get :((

[severe thistle]

All of them. Give the enemy no quarter to the file cabinets.

[vital oasis]

yes sir

o7

[full grove]

Yo can anyone lend me a hand i need some help getting better

[wet axle]

add me bro

3.6k hours

wait ur OCE

im NA, idk if we are compatibile

[severe thistle]

Hypothetically could. You would have to have some god tier internet

Nasa super computer type shit

[wet axle]

i doubt

[full grove]

oh damm unlucky

[wet axle]

tbh

[bronze summit]

anyone know the best way to get jager, been tryna get the quest done for a few hours now and just cant seem to get it done :/

[wet axle]

bro i'll help if ur NA, i need to go woods aswell

[bronze summit]

i am NA

[full grove]

stick too trees and woods so u dont get seen

[wet axle]

https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/1140466857095204945

[bronze summit]

i try to do that as much as i can, maybe going in at night is easier?

[full grove]

Yes, that is very good to avoid being seen

maybe bring a flashlight

[safe rain]

What would the average kd be for someone with 1k hours?

an estimate

[edgy plover]

Pointless to ask. Playstyle is everything, and KD is impacted by scav kills

You can pump your KD in tarkov by being a hyper-rat

You can be really good but play aggressive and have a low kd

don't ever compare your stats to others and think that because they have a higher KD then they're better

[bold kernel]

what shep said is true but from everything i seen the average is either 50% survival rate with a 5+ kd or a 70% survival rate with like a 3 kd

just a matter of playstyle and skill

doesn’t matter too much i think personal progression is much more important

[jovial wraith]

someone pls help me i keep getting my brain blown out on interchange

but all the other maps are just as bad ;-;

[safe rain]

alright excluding my suicide runs to factory from last night im pretty average

[edgy plover]

If you care about your KD in tarkov, you're already below average
