[tidal lagoon]

Ye think like half the people playing get that at some point rn

Got it twice today

[sage sphinx]

any idea how to fix it? cant even load into my scav

[tidal lagoon]

[high sphinx]

First wipe and trying to learn streets anyone willing to help? im lvl 13

[ornate meteor]

I have the same problem, game is just trash

[prime fox]

I think I just killed a player that crashed

[ornate meteor]

50% of the raids on ighthouse just crashes when joining

[prime fox]

He was moonwalking in interchange

[ornate meteor]

started this wipe

[sturdy mango]

why there are 2 dots wtf?

its eotech xps3

[dawn geyser]

Just some eotech styles

Second lower dot is for 500 yards

[sturdy mango]

ive played this exact sight before, there wasnt this dot

[plain knoll]

there has always been two dots on that sight tho

[river void]

customs is making me lose my mind

im dead wherever i go

[sturdy mango]

damn somehow i didnt notice, is there any other good holo like this, this dot annoys me and dissrupts me

[pearl palm]

there are multiple variants, some dont have the extra dots

[sturdy mango]

now i see

i just bought the other variant

[river void]

now i die to a trio

man fuck customs

got 2 of em tho lol

[wicked wigeon]

Looking for someone to chat and run a couple raids with someone to get some general map sense and game knowledge

[fierce hamlet]

whats the folding car key used for?

[nocturne phoenix]

a fold away car

[fierce hamlet]

[nocturne phoenix]

[pearl palm]

doesnt open anything, its used in a barter tho

folding key + yotota key + vaz key for an mp153

[summer summit]

Whats the difference between usec and bear?

Gameplay wise not lore wise

[pearl palm]

usec gets us guns and ammo to start, bear gets russian
rogues on lighthouse are auto aggro on bears
bears start with AKs and AK ammo is plentiful, so you can get better ammo easier
usecs can utilize the same ammo drops, but they need to buy aks themselves

altho now that m856a1 unlocks so much earlier, the last half doesnt matter as much anymore

basically, as it is rn, usec is the better pick

[summer summit]

Thanks kitten

[fierce hamlet]

good to know thanks

[fierce hamlet]

[summer summit]

Ur welcome

[pearl palm]

[elfin pendant]

why does taking painkillers make the game lose color and the borders look grainy? is this a new update?

[pearl palm]

yes, they changed the painkiller visual effect

old version made streams nearly unwatchable, especially with NVGs on, its a good change imo

[elfin pendant]

how? now the game looks black and white almost and the vision blur is so annoying its like a in game headache

[pearl palm]

bc its an actual downside to painkillers

bc pmcs would just spend their entire time in raid on drugs and all they needed to do to to counteract it was bring a little bit of food

[elfin pendant]

this makes sense. it makes me not want to take painkillers now lol

[noble schooner]

just reinstalled the game for the wipe, anyone wanna roll?

[elfin pendant]

roll a blunt?

[noble schooner]

oorah

[elfin dagger]

I just got back on I've been playing solo about to try woods for the first time

[noble schooner]

rip lil bro

[elfin dagger]

Yea i got a few pmc kills in factory and im feeling brave

[noble schooner]

i wish you the best of luck

[elfin dagger]

scav running first is it true the other scavs wont shoot at me

[noble schooner]

they shouldnt unless you shot em first

[elfin dagger]

word good to know

[noble schooner]

word of advice

dont kill scavs as a scav

[bold kernel]

how do yall survive as pmc as soon as im in dead within 1 minute, been completing all my quessts as scav

[noble schooner]

win your gunfights

[sturdy nova]

I need quest help for bunker part 1

[fierce hamlet]

gold skull ring used for any useful barters or is it insta sell?

[pearl palm]

yes but much later

reapir and money case barter

[elfin dagger]

well another scav i talked to killed me

[sage sphinx]

Take a few minutes to let everyone else rush the center of the map, or join a sherpa group, join a LFG, etc.

[fierce hamlet]

worth keeping that long or sell?

[pearl palm]

id sell

[sage sphinx]

fairly common in safes

[fierce hamlet]

aight thanks

[pearl palm]

u need 6 for scav case, but again thats late enough that u should have plenty of rubles to buy it

[bold kernel]

thank you i've owned the game for years but never got to lvl 10 as i get rather bored solo as im not efficient with loot routes and suck at pvp

I can no longer play with people i used to since they put in ping limits

[amber anchor]

where do i go to look for players to play with?? thanks!

i am only lvl 7 rip.

[sage sphinx]

If you have issues with penning armor of higher level players either A.) use shotguns / flesh ammo and go for legs/stomach. or if you're good at clicking heads use the mosin-nagant or a MP-18. I've been playing since 2019 and have like 4-5K(?) hours. I STILL use ratty equipment just because its what i know and im effective with it. Do whatever works

[bold kernel]

i cant seem to get an eye on the player or im not fast enough? if i run into another pmc i already know im dead before the fights even begun

[pearl palm]

are you wearing headphones

both in game and irl

[fierce hamlet]

speakin of headphones why are footsteps so damn loud sometimes i can hear someone running almost on the complete other side of fac

do i just have my volume too high

[woven siren]

nah thats just the factory

you hear just about everything

[pearl palm]

some headphones make footsteps really loud
the gssh or whatever especially
but also factory is small enough that you hear a lot

[fierce hamlet]

im somewhat used to it but its just weird being able to hear everything always makes it seem like someones right around the corner

[bold kernel]

always

i havent used sound at all to try pinpoint players tho

i just run into them

[native crow]

yo who should I do chemical part 4 for?

[bold kernel]

then ded

[hoary flicker]

How fast are you normally running through raids

Are you more of a slower player or do you kinda blow through

[bold kernel]

i've only extracted once
im usually slow but recently found my self sprinting around everyhwere

my raids last 30 sseconds to 1 minute

before i die

[hoary flicker]

What map?

[bold kernel]

customs, woods, interchange

if i even spot or hear somebody i'm dead even in night while lying in bush

[hoary flicker]

Hm

You only play solo?

[bold kernel]

yup

ping limit ruined that for me

[hoary flicker]

Do you have any desire to play with people?

Because it would help to have someone to kinda protect you or even just be an extra target so you can learn more

[bold kernel]

yes tho everytime i play with people its been my fault they died

[hoary flicker]

Well you can't think like that gamer

What servers are you on?

[bold kernel]

thats what they keep telling me, oce

[hoary flicker]

Ah ok

Yeah try to find someone that won't tell you that that's a dickhead move

[bold kernel]

thatss the part im struggling with lol

thank you for advice

[hoary flicker]

I mean there's like

300,000 people in this server

You got a lot of mfs

[fierce hamlet]

what ammo should i sell?

[hoary flicker]

Definitely no reason someone should be telling you your the reason they die instead of like

Helping you

All of those seem like pretty cheap rounds

[fierce hamlet]

they prob are ion know

[hoary flicker]

If you can filter search them and you can buy them from a trader cheep you can probably sell it

[pearl palm]

PPBS and PS12B are the only rrally good ammo there

[fierce hamlet]

still learning what ammo to pick up and what not to pick up so i have a lot of junk ammo

[fierce hamlet]

any guns i can get that use it with level one traders or am i gon have to find one?

[hoary flicker]

Link search them

You will find weapons that use them

[bold kernel]

what would be the best channel to ask for oce region?

[hoary flicker]

Probably just the ask for group and just say your oce

[bold kernel]

ok thank you and good luck to you and your future raids

[hoary flicker]

Yeah you too

I would ask but got social anxiety yk

[pearl palm]

check the ammo chart on the tarkov wiki
high pen = better

[bold kernel]

im similar have a hard time with strangers

[pearl palm]

for some of the more common ammos to keep:
everything AP
5,45: PP/BP/BT/BS/PPBS (these come in large boxes commonly)
5.56: M856A1/M855A1/M995
7.62x39: PS/PP/BP (PS is scav ammo and relatively common, BP can be found on bosses or rogues)
7.62x51: anything M__
7.62x54R: BT gzh/SNB

pretty much everthing "B" something is worth keeping

[bold kernel]

@hoary flicker everytime i go in this just now is my longest raid i dont stand a chance

[hoary flicker]

Holy shit man that's full gear

I feel like I wanna watch your raids I'm so confused

[bold kernel]

died to a single round

shot a scav ran and got dropped

[hoary flicker]

Scavs are kinda fucked rn

[bold kernel]

at least it was a scav so hopefully i get some back but all my raids have been like that

[hoary flicker]

Well they kinda steal your stuff now

[bold kernel]

thats true

[hoary flicker]

Yeah I just got my last flash drive then headshot through a wall by a pistol scav

[bold kernel]

wth

[hoary flicker]

:')

I have to just run factory over and over again I wish to die

[void trout]

why do you have to run factory?

[hoary flicker]

25 meter pmc kills with a bolty

[void trout]

oh yeah gl with that

[frigid finch]

early wipe lighthouse feels like it has a neverending stream of player scavs\

[hoary flicker]

I used to only run light house scavs

Iz good

[bold kernel]

After dying countless times so far tonight including my scav runs, I don't know what gun to buy or even buy

[hoary flicker]

You got money?

[frigid finch]

i rarely scav anymore

[bold kernel]

240k

[frigid finch]

but when i do its lighthouse lol

[hoary flicker]

You like full auto or like bolt actions or something?

[bold kernel]

I suppose full auto atm? I haven't really explored much of the weapons

[frigid finch]

also, rogues use these rounds now

which are fucking awesome

[pearl palm]

oh nice

[hoary flicker]

Ketrs, aks, mosins

Really depends what you like just try to expriment

[pearl palm]

use kedr and either aim legs or try to hit them in the face
u can use the ppsh as well

[glad oasis]

is this going to keep me alive on factory or should I just uninstall now

[pearl palm]

u can also try shotguns and try to just hit them in the face with 1 pellet

[hoary flicker]

Ppsh is fun

Gl with that

[hoary flicker]

Uninstall

[pearl palm]

uh, tahts a lot of meds ur taking

no need for all that when u got a grizzly
and keep the grizzly in ur container

[hoary flicker]

Too many meds

[frigid finch]

you need like one painkiller, one heavy bleed med for factory

[pearl palm]

(also 2 of the mags are empty)

[glad oasis]

in my alpha I have IFAK/AFAK/vasiline

[pearl palm]

bruh, way too many meds

[glad oasis]

I want to not get onetapped for once

[hoary flicker]

Grizly in the pouch and some painkillers is probably good

[frigid finch]

lol, how do meds prevent one tap?

[hoary flicker]

I mean that many meds ain't preventing that

[glad oasis]

maybe if I put duct tape in my inventory and tape all that shit to my face

[pearl palm]

mesd dont prevent one taps

take an esmarch (or two)
a morphine/propital (to use immediately)
and keep an ifak/afak in ur container

[frigid finch]

honestly, for a newer player, bring meds in your secure container, enough to get you through one fight, its rare youll live more then that

[pearl palm]

use the painkiller to fight through any breaks, and you should aim to be out asap so you dont get overrun by scavs

[bold kernel]

Why do PMC kill player scavs? If they know it's shit loot, why bother killing them? For the lulz?

[glad oasis]

because player scavs might kill them

[hoary flicker]

Xp, so they don't get killed

Sometimes player scavs have big loot

When your pmc it's kinda kill everything on sight

[bold kernel]

Yeah I suppose, I told him I was friendly and told him I was just heading out and he just shot me from behind

[pearl palm]

scavs can have anything in their inventory (save for some exceptions)
so scavs can literally spawn with a red keycard

[hoary flicker]

No reason to keep them alive unless you want extract

[pearl palm]

and also helps with xp

[hoary flicker]

Most people dont trust that

[pearl palm]

if u want them to maybe trust you, take out ur melee weapon

[hoary flicker]

Just kinda have to find a nice person

[neon hatch]

so, where would be the easiest map/area to find flashdrives for the task?

[pearl palm]

safes, computers, jackets
interchange has plenty of computers, you can go customs dorms at night to loot the jackets and safes

[neon hatch]

do they still stick out on front of the pc blocks like ive seen in the older videos

[pearl palm]

ye

if u do custom dorm safes, 2 story 110 can spawn them on the bed, and 2 story side campsite has 2 spawns
ive pretty much never found those in recent wipes though

[glad oasis]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AV3xDJAy0gA

the reason I ask about factory is because this video is like "spam that map so you stop being jittery in pvp" but it's just like... the worst map, objectively. you die basically in 30 seconds.

[neon hatch]

do you need keys for these?

[pearl palm]

yes

[neon hatch]

it's also the most pvp focused map

[hoary flicker]

Yeah the map is terrible

[pearl palm]

2 story 110, 114, 105
3 story 204, 214

[neon hatch]

alrighty

[pearl palm]

wait sorry, 105 for 2 story

its pretty hotly contested in daytime, so go nighttime

[hoary flicker]

I got my last one in the factory safe and I died

So sad

[glad oasis]

also for checking I feel like I also have to be this tooled up because the stupid key is in dorms and that's where pvp is at it's most intense other than fortress

[pearl palm]

go later

chill out and loot some other area that you spawn near
then once people have done the pvp and left, head over there
it does mean that someone couldve taken it already tho, so its a tradeoff

[glad oasis]

can I get the key on a scav run or is it gonna be absolutely gone by the time I spawn

[pearl palm]

u could try

[glad oasis]

do cultists aggro scavs

[pearl palm]

no, unless you hit them

[glad oasis]

good to know, but night scavving is a pain and cheaters love to play night maps

[hoary flicker]

What key?

[glad oasis]

the one for checking

[hoary flicker]

Huh

[glad oasis]

ohhhh booyyyyyy traitor scav

[hoary flicker]

Love that

[glad oasis]

coulda had a propitol if people would play properly

[frigid finch]

im already at -1.41

[glad oasis]

they need pmc karma in already

and better anticheat

[hoary flicker]

WHAT DID TOU DO

[next sierra]

Killing other scavs as a pscav is playing properly. The sooner you learn that scav karma is just another form of currency the better you will be.

[frigid finch]

kill most player scavs i see

[hoary flicker]

But

Why

[frigid finch]

you can get back a full 1.0 karma once you hit -1 so its not even a big deal

and to piss people off who need money lol

[glad oasis]

probably camps extracts too

[frigid finch]

nahhh that is boring as fuckkkk lol

normally ill just loot for like 5-10 minutes with a player scav, then kill him since he looted all the stuff i didnt, so it is time efficient lol

[next sierra]

Bruh, I paid 150 for this game. You're not gonna tell me how to play other than "Don't cheat." lol.

[hoary flicker]

I paid

Nothing

Im poor

[next sierra]

If we're scaving and you got something I want or need. I will very likily kill you.

[hoary flicker]

I did do that once

[frigid finch]

if i see any scav with a kitted weapon, they die instantly lol

[hoary flicker]

A guy was literally a step away from extract

But he had so much loot

So I blasted him in the head

Ez money

[glad oasis]

I spawned in a raid and didn't have a backpack and I thought about shooting a scav and grabbing his but he had a buddy and I didn't feel like I morally wanted to cross that line

[hoary flicker]

Double the loot?

[bold kernel]

well my luck just changed

[hoary flicker]

Yo?

[bold kernel]

scav on interchange

[hoary flicker]

Love me some interchange scavs

I'm doing one rn

[elfin jacinth]

you got a geared boy holy

[hoary flicker]

Nice man

[bold kernel]

shot him with a stubby mosin 😂

[hoary flicker]

Good shit

I get geared almost every raid I love interchange

[bold kernel]

he was looting airdrop and i just waited it out

[elfin jacinth]

any gun can 1 tap if youre good enough

(idk how true that is)

[hoary flicker]

Depends

[pearl palm]

yes, unless they have altyns etc
then u go for legs

[worthy topaz]

Where would you guys say is the best place to do tarkov shooter 1? I literally just cannot hit my shots from 40 meters with iron sights it’s insane

[hoary flicker]

Woods

[worthy topaz]

Fucking hate that map but I gotta go there for UBD

[hoary flicker]

Pretty wide open areas where you can line up a shot

[next sierra]

Any map but factory has 40m sightlines.

[austere whale]

How many pmcs spawn per raid

Is it random

[pearl palm]

map dependent

[hoary flicker]

It shows you when you select the map

[frigid finch]

dude fuck this game

it makes no sense

i killed two scavs with an mdr and 856a1 ammo....took five shots....then point blank i unloaded the rest of my clip into a pmc at his chest, and somehow hit more shots then i fired?

but somehow also, this pmc didnt die

[hoary flicker]

Tarkoved

[frigid finch]

like this shit makes me want to stop playing

what the fuck is the point

i started firing at him before he even knew i was there

and died to two m80 rounds to the chest, when i apparently hit him 10-15 times and didnt kill him

[next sierra]

I had a weird instance today where I point blank mag dumped a PMC That I muzzle thumped. 30 rounds fired. 10 hits. 7.62x39 PS, dude was wearing lvl 3 UN Armor. He killed me with 3 thorax hits to a fresh MMAC with 9mm Green Tracer. My buddy who was immediatly behind me tore into his chest and face with 5.45 PP

[frigid finch]

i have died to so much bullshit this wipe

its getting so fucking old

[next sierra]

I think the Desync is worse now than it ever was.

[hoary flicker]

Definitely

[next sierra]

Either that or there are vastly more wigglers.

[frigid finch]

what sucks about tarkov...is its this amazing gem of a game when you start playing...deep, complex, mysterious, awesome....you die but you dont really know why so it feels like its your fault

but then as you put the hundreds/thousands of hours in, you know when you SHOULD die and when you shouldn't...and the illusion is broken

[hoary flicker]

More times than it should it's not your fault at all

That's where being tarkoved comes from

[frigid finch]

you want to quit...but even as shitty and broken and desync and hacking garbage as tarkov is, there is nothing even close to it

[austere hound]

Collats. You can hit multiple limbs with a singular bullet and it'll count as multiple different hits

[frigid finch]

ok, but...that means i still hit him with like 10 bullets through multiple limbs lol

[bold hamlet]

could use some help on what shit to sell and what shit to keep? i don't have flee yet, i'm level 12 lmao

[supple edge]

@bold hamlet dms

[next sierra]

Dude... WTF is this goddamn game?

I just was killed by a pmc, hitting me with 3rds of 9x19 PST in the chest through LVL 5 armor

[bold hamlet]

you'll have that on those big jobs

[bold hamlet]

dm'd you back

[dusky pendant]

what's the best set up to get from T1 vendors

really struggling

just the gun really and ammo, i die alot haha

[halcyon hare]

35€ is the cheapest i can buy tarkov or it can go lower?

[stable river]

Looking for help with marker task in customs

[raven skiff]

Where do I find the most optimal graphic/game settings for 4070 + Intel i5 12600 + 1080p? (so not 4090 + 7800xd)

[latent walrus]

yo yo at what point will it give me the option to mop up the floor on the defective wall? to i just have to wait?

@dusky pendant mp-153/155 7mm buck-cheap, reliable, but burns through ammo quick so you need to reposition while reloading and play the swing or get swung game

[austere whale]

Is streets the best map

[latent walrus]

yes but u need a couple keys to make it ez

[frigid finch]

idk what is going on this wipe...but its fucking impossible to survive...i was level 58 last wipe, 52% SR...and i am now 35% SR...what in the fuck is going on

[uncut sluice]

Where is "Boat"?

[thorny snow]

i think its the one close to outskirts

by the water?

[uncut sluice]

Oh it's near dead man's place

[sinful rivet]

Why is it when i use the scroll wheel it doesnt change my speed

[viral prawn]

freespin enabled on mouse?

[uncut sluice]

Why is the toolset so expensive

[nova sentinel]

can raiders spawn on resv yet

[woeful spruce]

2 needed for a quest and a bunch more for hideout and toolsets are relatively rare, so demand high supply low naturally results in infalted price

as more and more people do their early tasks and build their hideout the price should start dropping

[low merlin]

there is a barter trade on mechanic for the toolset

[thorny snow]

is there way to fix blacked thorax lol

oh okay thanks

damn it i almost made it. i ran across woods coughing lungs out and a scav lazer me from like 100m

"one tapped"

[hoary flicker]

Pain

[uncut sluice]

OMG I just got 3 pmc kills in scav town my hands are shaking

[wanton nebula]

W

[proud forge]

MOA is literally the bullets left and right deviation at range. You can compensate for drop manually. You cant compensate for left and right drift.

[thorny snow]

i hate this games audio

[fluid gyro]

Imo binaluar audio helps alot

[thorny snow]

2 people were next to me and i only heard one, even as the other one ran in front of my face he was silent

[fluid gyro]

That probably was a bug but I still recommned enabling binaluar audio unless you have performance issues

[thorny snow]

what that does?

[fluid gyro]

Better 3D audio and increased dynamic audio range

[mortal salmon]

Does the game still have that quest where you have to kill 3 PMCs in a single raid with a rifle in woods?

[fluid gyro]

yes

[frigid finch]

so did they finally fix the bullshit with binaural audio tanking performance?\

[fluid gyro]

Its working fine for me

[signal moss]

yeah afaik its been fixed, me and my friends have had it on and ran into 0 issues with it

[frigid finch]

ok ive had it off since last wipe

[near lynx]

sell it on flea market wtf

selling directly to traders is only good for leveling them

then go on eft market website and check the price

its 30 mil on flea market

[uncut sluice]

Please don't

[fluid gyro]

no no no

sell it to fence

[uncut sluice]

Why is it that every other raid on woods I get terrible fps. GameUpdate is consistently over 16ms

[signal moss]

same for me, really weird

[supple panther]

if you do then you deserve to get stomped by sweaty chads raid after raid after raid for the next month or so

throwing 30 mil like that

[supple panther]

turn off nvidia reflex if u havent

you sold it to therapist?

[uncut sluice]

WTH I got a 30 fps boost

tysm

[supple panther]

overclock ur ram too if u havent already (manually, XMP sucks cock)

https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/oc-guide/DDR4 OC Guide.md

will take a few hours but yeah

worth the performance

fast ram makes a huge difference in tarkov, no matter the architecture

ive seen streamers out there running streets in 120-160 fps with shittier specs than me just cuz they be running on ddr5

[uncut sluice]

I saw the last tushonka I needed but I got extracted 💀

[serene jolt]

[uncut sluice]

What is JDEC speed? The default speed?

[sinful vale]

scav or pmc

i cant tell

he has scav shit on but bald head n shi

[uncut sluice]

You would have been dead if he was a pmc

[sinful vale]

he might be dced

not moving at all

[uncut sluice]

I thought CPU cache was utilized by the CPU automatically and didn't depend on the program and OS. I also thought DDR5 was always faster than DDR4

[severe bridge]

DDR4 vs DDR5 is a complicated topic, but if you want to compare different sticks of ram look at Mega Transfers per second, thats the real speed your after

[bold kernel]

where would gen fuel spawn on factory?

[gritty cedar]

hey guys having major issues trying to reinstall tarkov would anyone be able to help?

[supple panther]

ideally you want lower timings and higher MT/s

no?

[gritty cedar]

PLEASE IF SOMEONE CAN REACH OUT TO HELP WITH INSTALLING MY GAME

[bold kernel]

how do i get to lvl 15 fast?

[supple panther]

tasks

[bold kernel]

my pc can only run factory

[versed valley]

Leveling without tasks will take a long while

[supple panther]

anecdotal experience but DesmonPilak with RTX 4080, I9 13900k and 32GB DDR5 7200 CL34 is running interchange at 180-200 fps, streets at 120-160 from what ive seen in his content.

Me on a RTX 3070, I7 13700k and 64gb DDR4 3444mhz, cl20 im getting half that. Now the CPU difference is negligible and Tarkov doesnt utilise GPU much

if youre talking about my temps then my CPU is undervolted to lower temps, no performance hit tbh

[uncut sluice]

Buy a cpu on the flea market

[supple panther]

and you think that those 400mhz make that huge of a difference

to the point where he runs double my FPS on every single map?

https://youtu.be/SL2Tm4NE06s?t=14

bro is literally pushing 220 fps at times

you maybe be right but I highly doubt that it would make such a significant difference

tarkov is really the only game that runs shit for me

i run just tarkov and discord

im open to suggestions on increasing performance tho

cant lie, for a game where FPS plays a huge role in winning fights such as Tarkov, it really does run fucking shit

[uncut sluice]

Speaking of performance some people claim that increasing the graphics settings gives you more fps, which to me just seems absurd and I highly doubt it

[supple panther]

it does

increases GPU load

[uncut sluice]

The tasks run ny the GPU can't be easily run by the CPU

But people claim that it "offloads the tasks run by the GPU to the CPU" if you have low settings

[supple panther]

if your CPU is bottlenecking and youre running low graphic settings means youre sending out hundreds of frames a second, a bottlenecked CPU cant handle that much so it throttles the output

youre taking load off the GPU and putting it to the CPU

[uncut sluice]

If you use fps 3 you see that the total frame time is just CPU time + GPU time. If you increase your graphics settings it will just increase the GPU time and will not lower the CPU time, resulting in longer frame time overall

The cpu can't run graphics and the GPU can't run game logic. There's no way you can shift the load from one to another

[supple panther]

computers are like sports, its a team game. if youve got a fast kid and a fat kid together on a team, no matter what you do the fat kid will bring the team down, now you can make the fast and fit kid do more work and that'll make it easier on the team as you no longer have to wait on the fat kid and he can catch up and play at his own pace

[uncut sluice]

"Throttling" doesn't happen because the CPU has to finish running the game logic before the GPU can start rendering. They never run in parallel. This is proved by the fact that the total frame time is just CPU time + GPU time in fps 3

[supple panther]

if youre CPU bottlenecked, theres only so much it can handle at once, if youre GPU is pumping out frames faster than it can handle them, then it'll just throttle

[uncut sluice]

This is not the case with MW2 for example as in that game CPU time + GPU time > frame time, indicating that they run in parallel

[supple panther]

tbh most games made in unity are cpu bound

[uncut sluice]

Yes, but that doesn't prove that increasing graphics settings will lower the frame time. The amount of time needed to run the logic stays the same regardless of graphics settings and the GPU takes longer to render when you have higher settings, so overall the frame time increases

The CPU and GPU waits for each other in this game. They never "throttle" because one gets ahead of the other

Oh I didn't know that

Yes mb

[sage grove]

any 1 got portable bunkhouse key ?

[quaint spruce]

I just cant

I lost all weapons and im only dying i get sometimes 1 or a few kills but never exfill i dont know where and dont know how lmao

Ty

[versed valley]

No

Its for bad rep evidence

303 is for the golden zippo

[bronze inlet]

dead scavs

[mighty flicker]

bois, is there any tier list for best armors/helmets? Not a Pestility one

[supple panther]

is gym still ass?

last thing i havent maxxed out/built yet

not sure if i should?

[raven skiff]

Where do I find the most optimal graphic/game settings for 4070 + Intel i5 12600 + 1080p? (so not 4090 + 7800xd)

[mighty flicker]

just put everything on max?

[lavish summit]

whats the best map for tarkov shooter

[sage grove]

no folder 0031

[mighty flicker]

what was required by the quest, but most kill quests r usually best at factory LUL

[sage grove]

any 1 got portable bunkhouse key ?

[lavish summit]

but its 40 meters

[mighty flicker]

i did mine on woods if I remember correctly

[raven skiff]

no? I want stable fps xD

[remote kettle]

reserve is very easy to get 40+ meters

[mighty flicker]

wdym u got 4070

[raven skiff]

for example with my current settings I have sth like 120-140 in the forest

and sometimes (scopes/bushes) it drops below 120

[remote kettle]

i did reserve to get a weekly 45 scavs at 80+ meters

[lavish summit]

ill try it

[versed valley]

woods

[raven skiff]

in streets it probably ~100

if not below, yetsarday it was so bugged so I gave up playing them xD

[frigid finch]

turning on binaural audio for the first time since the beginning of last wipe is hard to adjust to

[plush shard]

hii, so i started playing tarkov today with a friend and only when i play with him the game disconnects me

i started with 500k i am at 140 because the game doesnt let me reconnect

[dire brook]

Guys, as a really new player, im going on my second raid, what should i have with me when joining customs, i have

Water
food
Esmarch
splint
ai-2
car
Bullets
also have bandage and analgin
and ofc weapon and armor and so on

[plush shard]

you good, maybe put the bullets on the pouch and take not more than 2 mags

[dire brook]

Im running a mosin

so my bullets are loose

[plush shard]

okk then u are ok

[dire brook]

Alright! lets do this then, this game feels like a horror game

[versed valley]

water and food is not needed

also if possible could you take a screenshot?

[dire brook]

Going in with this

[versed valley]

take 2 esermach, 2 splints, take out the ai2 as car is enough

and also i would recommend not to take food and water with you

put ammo in your pockets so you can reload with r

and put bandages in you pockets and keybind it too

then you can put one splint and one esermach in your pouch

as well as some spare ammo and painkillers there

[dire brook]

Something like this?

You sure water and food is not needed? i mean i barely know where im running hahah

have the map up though but takes time to navigate

[versed valley]

put 15 rounds of fmj in your pockets and buy extra ammo to put 40 rounds total in your pouch

[uncut sluice]

You can only reload with R if the ammo or mag is in your pockets or rig

[versed valley]

oh wait nevermind, take ai2 with you too as car medkit is on low dur

[dire brook]

how do i split items?

[uncut sluice]

Ctrl + drag

[dire brook]

ty, alright so now like this

[uncut sluice]

In case you didn't know deadly skull doesn't give you protection

[versed valley]

yea perfect, i wouldnt take the knife as it is not needed and in case you find one on scav you can put his knife on and sell it later for a bit of cash

[dire brook]

Yeah i know! should i buy a helm maybe?

[versed valley]

helmet is not needed imo especially if you run just class 2 armor

[dire brook]

Alright! anything here i can sell and get more roubles or even use for that matter?

[versed valley]

sell the brawler, respirator and all the USEC caps

oh and sell the whiskey

[dire brook]

Does it matter which trader?

[uncut sluice]

For barter items and food and meds sell to therapist, sell gun and gun parts to mechanic, grenades to prapor, kinves to jaeger or fence

tarkov-market.com
If you are not sure you can look it up here

[versed valley]

and clothing to ragman

[next sierra]

Whatcha mean? Like hitting people in the face, or naked chest with ammo that should outright kill them? Or Mag dumping people wearing lvl 3 armor and your ammo pens and destroys lvl 5 and below? And they don't die, or even appear wounded, but then smoke you with three rounds of 9x19 tracer through your lvl 4 armor?

[low merlin]

you can sell all pistols and mags for the pistols, pistols are on average the worst weapon category in the game and you need to be able to hit solid head shots with them. They are only usefull for ultra budget runs, if you know exactly what you want to accomplish on the map.

[frigid finch]

like all of that\

[next sierra]

I'm going through it too dude.

[clear gust]

can i play with anyone i just started

[dire brook]

is it the 868 bullets?

[frigid finch]

something has just felt off this whole wipe

[next sierra]

I went from crushing asses last wipe to getting my ass crushed this wipe.

It's a lot of weird fucky shit going on. Stuff that shouldn't be happening is. I can't tell you how many times I have bonked someone in the face only for them to not give a shit and just push my shit in.

[frigid finch]

Look at this kami

[low merlin]

Im not sure what ammo you mean, the m9a3 pistol works with 9x19mm ammo. There is no 9x19mm with the name 868

[dire brook]

Yeah im sorry i was looking at the sell price

[frigid finch]

i died to a pmc i hit like 10-15 times

[dire brook]

i sold the 9x19mm bullets and mags

[frigid finch]

with 856a1 ammo lol

more hits then shots fired

it made no sense

[next sierra]

I double tapped a dude with 7.62x25 LRNPC in the back of the head under his helmet. He turned and one shot me with HP BT, through my level 4 armor.

[low merlin]

No thats normal. Lets say you hit his arm and pen it and also hit his chest, you get 2 hits from 1 shoot

[frigid finch]

IT WAS STILL 10-15 HITS

[uncut sluice]

It's also easier to get good ammo and attachments for AK series in early wipe. You need to progress further to be able to use ARs effectively

[low merlin]

Classic blunder, the Neck counts towards the thorax not the head in tarkov

[dire brook]

Im gonna start leveling and playing one scav run and one pmc run

[summer summit]

how can I make my keybinds not toggll

[next sierra]

I think you missed the part where I said I hit head. I shot under his helmet. Into the back of his HEAD Not neck, HEAD.

[low merlin]

there is an option on the far right in your keybinds behind every single keybind

[next sierra]

That is why there is a hit box called [Head, Nape]

[low merlin]

under his helmet is the neck hitbox, if you shoot from behind 🤷‍♂️ and neck counts as thorax. So, if you shoot under his helmet from behind, you probably just did the same as shooting him in the chest.

[next sierra]

So how is it when I get shot in the back of the head, under my helmet, I die and my kill feed states I was killed 9x19 PST Gzh [Head, Nape] While I am wearing a highcut? or a Ulach?

[uncut sluice]

7.62 PS absolutely shreds everyone rn, but I am running low on it and no flea

[next sierra]

Bro, I mag dumped a dude at 5 feet from me with 7.62x39 PS, hitting all torso and stomach in his lvl 3 TV-115 and he didn't die.

[gloomy heart]

good rule of thumb is - therapist then mechanic

[next sierra]

It took my buddy spraying him in the chest and head with 5.45 BP to put dude down.

[dire brook]

Apprecaite it!

[ocean hatch]

is it possible to do gunsmith lvl 1 at level 1 traders, also how do i find the leatherman multitool

[next sierra]

once you get therapist and mechanic topped out, switch to jaeger, peacekeeper, and skier.

[uncut sluice]

I had to find the GK-02 in raid. I think you can buy the multitool

[gloomy heart]

mechanic lvl 1 sells it

[ocean hatch]

is that the only part you have to find

[gloomy heart]

But also sell to traders u need to get money spent on too, worth losing out on a few rubles when selling to get you closer to the lvl up of the trader

[uncut sluice]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/MP-133_custom_plastic_forestock_with_rails
You also need to barter for this. Other than those two you can buy from traders

[low merlin]

the Head, Neck hitbox is the Backside of your skull above the Neck:

www.reddit .com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F7pn46rkhc5a51.jpg

Here its the light blue thing about the green zone.

[ocean hatch]

also is there like a specific good spot for nuts and bolts or does everywhere just have it

[next sierra]

Wow, your blue highlight shows where I shot. Congrats. You have illustrated my point.

[gloomy heart]

just look alot of tool box's, technical crates, filing cabinets etc.

[next sierra]

and jackets. they have them also.

[low merlin]

So he wasen't wearing a regular helmet but an ssh-68?

[next sierra]

6B47

hunched over, shooting down on people from the rafters in factory.

[low merlin]

So how did you shoot under his helmet and still shoot at the back of his helmet that covers the Head, Neck hitbox?

[next sierra]

It doesn't.

[low merlin]

either you shot under his helmet and then you hit the neck or you shoot exactly at his helmet from the backside and then you hit head neck.

just shoot center mass on the head next time and the results will be a lot better

[next sierra]

Looks like an exposed nape to me.

[low merlin]

all thats uncovered is the neck hitbox and the neck counts as chest

[gloomy heart]

read the description of the helm, it states what area it covers

[next sierra]

So, you're telling me we can't shoot under armor and get to exposed flesh?

[low merlin]

green is "neck" and blue is "neck, head" (approximately of course only)

[versed valley]

we dont have volumetric armor yet

[summer summit]

can I open a screenshare for someone

[tidal lagoon]

next wipe brother

[versed valley]

there is a very small lower nape hitbox that no armor except 1 protects

[summer summit]

and then they can show me where the jaeger task is ?

[versed valley]

and it is a head hitbox

[summer summit]

can I open a screenshare for someone
and then they can show me where the jaeger task is ?
im so lost

[low merlin]

blue circle needs to be bigger yes

[dire brook]

What graphic settings do you guys have? my gpu is at 81 degrees right now haha

[next sierra]

So, either BSG devs have never taken an anatomy and physiology or... Kevin doesn't know what the hell a nape is.

Kevin, have you ever worn a helmet?

MICH2000, PAGST

FAST or AIRFRAME or any other kevlar?

[low merlin]

my friend the nape counts as chest in this game, like I have told you multiple times, its not about knowing how the real human body functions, it is about the in game mechanics.

[silver kite]

May i ask, its in pre order, does that mean i cant play it yet>

[gloomy heart]

for me every thing is low/off apart from textures - high, LOD quality - 3.5, Anti Aliasing - TAA High, HBAO High & High Quality Colours

[silver kite]

plus if i buy it will someone help me a bit hahha

[gloomy heart]

you can play it now

[silver kite]

if i pre order

[low merlin]

its in pre order since multiple years now, and probably will be in the "beta" for a long time

[silver kite]

i can play it>

[tidal lagoon]

yes u can play

[silver kite]

aaa ohkey, is there someone who can explain the game and help me

[summer summit]

and then they can show me where the jaeger task is ?
can I open a screenshare for someone
and then they can show me where the jaeger task is ?
im so lost
I will pay them

[tidal lagoon]

the jaeger letter is under the hunting tower

[low merlin]

in what lfg channel are you?

[summer summit]

17

woods

[low merlin]

Basically, Tarkov has 3 fundamentals.

1. Navigating the map and extracting.
2. Fighting.
3. Looting.
   If you are new the most important step is to learn 1, there is no point in trying focus on 2 or 3, if you can't do 1.
   Your goal should be to spawn and navigate to an extract. If you manage to do that you are already winning.
   Just walking around the map will be already very deadly as pmc. So you should alternate between playing scav and pmc and use the scav gear on your pmc until you can do point 1.

[mighty flicker]

Bois, I'm starting to believe there are cheaters that can DC you from the game.

[summer summit]

and then they can show me where the jaeger task is ?
can I open a screenshare for someone
and then they can show me where the jaeger task is ?
im so lost/im in channel 17

[chrome pawn]

guys i need someone decent on the game to ask please

[mighty flicker]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/woods

hide all, scroll to locations, select quest items

you will find jeager on right

[frigid finch]

dude why are virtexes selling for 370k

[grave granite]

Hey. Im new to the game, what would you suggest to pick, bear or usec? Or it doesnt really make a difference

[versed valley]

usec gets a slight advantage on ligthouse

[frigid finch]

there is literally ZERO reason to go Bear right now

[low merlin]

usec

[spring basalt]

bit more than slight lmao

it means u dont get gled from across the map

[low merlin]

starting weapons of bear are arguably a bit better and the early cloth options of bear are darker, but thats about it

[frigid finch]

yea i guess, i just save the m4s until i can make them meta

[grave granite]

Okay, thank you guys. Also..
A first map to start learning?

[tidal lagoon]

woods and customs

[fluid gyro]

whats the best map to do co-op exfils

or does one exist?

[tidal lagoon]

not really a best one, but best to be a pmc and have teammates then find a pscav and extract with him

if u are a scav i find u will just get shot often

[fluid gyro]

yeah iv noticed

[versed valley]

Reserve is the best for scavs to find a pmc

[frigid finch]

lol i aint the onlyfans model

[low merlin]

you can run to the co-op exfile and go afk there and hope somebody checks it to extract with you

[low merlin]

ups, wrong @ my bad

[fluid gyro]

Tried that once and got tkd by another scav but might as well give it another go

[spring basalt]

interchange aswell

[versed valley]

Thats just dumb as ppl rarely check coops and will most likely just shot you

It is better to find someone nearby or at least not be afk and shot at the extract in a set pattern to let scavs know

[low merlin]

it will fail most of the time yes, but thats the nature of trying to co-op extracting

[fluid gyro]

I managed to get 1 exfil there already so im trying other maps to get more karma

[supple edge]

If I use gear in offline and shoot ammo do I lose the ammo and if I die do I lose the gear?

[tidal lagoon]

no

[supple edge]

So nothing changes

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[spring basalt]

u can try woods but u would have to wait near the med/scav camp place near RUAF n hope they jus dont kill u

[austere hound]

Reserve for sure. Considering very few people have red rebel & people want to avoid d2, it's super easy to get coop extracts. Just gotta voip and risk getting blown away when you try showing them you're chill with your knife out.

[tidal lagoon]

the best way to do coop is search for players and ask them for extract

[silver kite]

this keeps happening

and my pc is having a tough time? while this is going on

[versed valley]

Just leave it like that and wait 5-10minutes

[silver kite]

i will thankyou

[silver kite]

happens to more people or?

[onyx crest]

So I was mopping the floor for the cracked wall and qued for factory, when I got out the mopped floor seemed to need to be started again as it wasn't finished (2 minute timer was over) but when I try to restart the mopping process (which consumed my fleece) it says critical error, then something about how the upgrade is already in the hideout, any idea on how I can fix this?

[versed valley]

Yea it happens semi frequently

[silver kite]

Thanks for the info boss

its downloading now

[ocean hatch]

are there any good level 1 scopes for op sks

[foggy cosmos]

the green reflex is the only only that is half way decent in my opinion

[fluid gyro]

if u ask me sks dosnt need a scope

[iron garnet]

does anyone know when you unlock data base part 1? i finished big sale

[silver kite]

Is anyone so kind to help me begin in Tarkov, i do have some Ready or Not experience so in terms of shooting ill be somewhat fine. Just need someone or more to explain the basics and guide me. If so please feel free to dm me or ping me

[frigid finch]

lol nothing will prepare you for the absolute shit recoil and gun control that exists in tarkov

[silver kite]

ive heard hahaha, but besides that hahaha

[flat yacht]

i joined a scav raid 2 minutes ago got dc'd twice

now it tells me ive been KIA 21 minutes into the raid

huh

[frigid finch]

are virtexes really so expensive just cause of the secure container?

[icy ferry]

does anyone have 114 dorm, i need it to finish pharmacist

[merry swift]

They just vendor for a lot

[frigid finch]

they vendor for 75k, they are selling on flea for like 300k

[merry swift]

I think most people with alpha rush straight for epsilon

[frigid finch]

sold two a few minutes ago for 333k lol

each

[merry swift]

But ig some will stop for beta?

Idk if you make that back tbf

[frigid finch]

idk who plays this game without buying EOD lol

[merry swift]

Youd have to make those millions back in having the 2 item slots inbetween the time you buy your beta and you get epsilon

Im not sure thats really gunna happen

[frigid finch]

damn, .308 M80 is PK lvl4.....and the craft for it sucks

[fluid gyro]

How do i fix connection lost

[midnight relic]

you need better wifi bro

[fluid gyro]

man I have a good interweb

everytime i try to scav on streets i get connection lost

[midnight relic]

why you lie

[fluid gyro]

i dont lie

[supple panther]

whats a nice gun for punisher part 4?

[north bear]

Try verify game files, restart router,

[frigid finch]

doesnt matter, generally better to use magnum/slug for that quest though

[fluid gyro]

I doubt its my router everymap works fine as pmc and scav expect streets i cant get in as a scav

[supple panther]

meant the PMC part

running 20 rounders kinda sucks dick cant lie

[north bear]

How much ram?

[frigid finch]

m4 with 60 rd mags

[fluid gyro]

32gb ddr5 cl30 6000mhz

[north bear]

Hmm, odd then

[fluid gyro]

the odd part is i can get there as pmc no trouble

[north bear]

Try support if it keeps up

[fluid gyro]

its been going on for 2 wipes now

[midnight relic]

change pc

[fluid gyro]

I changed pc under a month ago

[merry swift]

Either shotguns or big capacity mags

You can do it with DMRs too as you need fewer bullets

If your tactic is to rush resort then shotties or 50/60 rounders is the way tho

[storm tree]

svt40

its the easiest quest now

[supple panther]

yea thats a good idea

forgot it exists

just built a meta adar with 20 rounders 🤣

[storm tree]

That sounds horrible

[woeful spruce]

Svt-40 one spare mag or even top loading works, just use it like a better sks. I love this gun i feel like its gonna get nerfed soon

[supple panther]

nah adar is a lovely gun

20 rounders are pretty alright on it tbh

[supple panther]

yea for sure

[storm tree]

its like

I dont agree but go crazy

[supple panther]

whats ya'lls go to ammo for the svt?

just lps?

[storm tree]

ps if u have prapor 3

just spam 10 rounders

maybe 1 15 rounder but otherwise ye

[woeful spruce]

I like lps but yea if you have ps go with ps

[storm tree]

close range then gun is unbeatable

[woeful spruce]

For runnig inside of resort pvp avt is a beast but for outside an svt with the scope is fantastic

[supple panther]

the 3 extra damage makes that big of a diff?

on the PS vs LPS?

[storm tree]

its armor pen

[supple panther]

i dont think anyones running lvl5 tbh

but yeah ill go with PS

[austere hound]

T46 really isn't that bad. One shots every limb, 41 pen, and has a slight recoil reduction

[storm tree]

avt is also good if u have it

the barter is like 36k only rn

[supple panther]

i do yeah, but no scope on it

[storm tree]

fuck the scope

[strong osprey]

guys i just bought the game any tips for modding guns or surviving

[storm tree]

I go irons anyway

[tidal lagoon]

youtube video

there is a lot

[strong osprey]

oh ok

[tidal lagoon]

early game you wont be able to do much modding except maybe a sight and laser

[silver kite]

Im new,anyone wanna help and play?

[bitter mural]

can an airdrop happen randomly, or most it be initiated by a player?

[tidal lagoon]

randomly

[woeful spruce]

Use a map on your second monitor/phone

From the wiki or mapge ie

[strong osprey]

athats a good idea thx!

[low merlin]

Basically, Tarkov has 3 fundamentals.

1. Navigating the map and extracting.

[glad oasis]

is this gun worth using this wipe?

context: I'm level 9 so I'm guessing a lot of the mods are locked behind later trader levels

[tidal lagoon]

yes

you dont want to use the long barrel

u want the shortest barrel

but yea as u said most mods are gonna be locked probably

should only be locked behind PK lvl 2 tho i think

[glad oasis]

that's still a ways off for me

[tidal lagoon]

yes

modding options for you are extremely limited

[tidal lagoon]

I dont recommend using nato weapons, stick with aks until u get at least lvl 2 traders

[glad oasis]

not bad for level 9 eh

[potent cradle]

best rounds 12g shotgun for scav headshots??

[tidal lagoon]

slugs

[low merlin]

The g36 is one of these weapons were a lot of it can not be modded, compared to the m4a1 were you can mod basically anything on the weapon. That means that the stock g36 has better basic stats then the m4a1 but the high end modded version of the g36 can never be as good as the m4a1 version.
The "good" ammo for the G36 can be unlocked with level 14 on peacekeeper 2 (4$ per shot). If you are willing to spend the $ on the ammo, the G36, is in my opinion a good low level trader weapon, since its basic stats are not horrendous.

[potent cradle]

thanks

[tidal lagoon]

looks sick

[obtuse lake]

Is this good?

Spawned in with it as a scav

[tidal lagoon]

yes

very

301 is 500k

[obtuse lake]

should I head straight to extract

[potent cradle]

@tidal lagoon what type slugs

[tidal lagoon]

I would go to extract and loot some stashes along the way yea

[tidal lagoon]

idk just get like ftx slugs

it really doesnt matter that much they should all 1 tap in head

[midnight spruce]

how long does scav case take to construct?

[tidal lagoon]

3 days I think it was?

[glad oasis]

my main beef with it is the lack of a mount for a laser. considering that any fight at 10m is decided by lasers that’s a huge issue

[tidal lagoon]

80 hours

[sacred lotus]

can anyone help do farming part 3 its the one where you need to go to big red on customs i have the key i need i just dont know my way arround customs very well yet

[tidal lagoon]

it has side rails for laser?

[glad oasis]

oh, missed that. lack of a foregrip hurts too

[tidal lagoon]

you're looking at the 6 vent long barrel version

fuck that thing, use the short barrel 2 vent handguard

[low merlin]

☝️

[glad oasis]

I can’t get the sbr version, I picked this gun up in a crate on Interchange

[tidal lagoon]

yea dont use it until u get pk 2

[glad oasis]

stash space op lol

[tidal lagoon]

the short barrel unless they changed the prices or smt is significantly cheaper than long barrel and only has 2 extra recoil

[low merlin]

Nothing wrong with vendoring weapons you don't want to play to get the needed money on traders spend up

[glad oasis]

what’s the MOA difference?

[tidal lagoon]

like 1.00

[glad oasis]

ahh

[tidal lagoon]

but normally when i think of the g36 im not thinking anything too long range

[grim aspen]

why my file not downloading?

[tidal lagoon]

most fights u find wont be at a range where that moa matters that much

[glad oasis]

yeah, DMR meta is 7.62x51 so longboi barrels are better on those guns

[tidal lagoon]

idk, ive heard just wait 5-10 min

[grim aspen]

The bar is not moving at all.

[glad oasis]

I seem to have most success on AKS74Us this wipe, probably because Prapor has been spoiling me rotten with BP ammo

[supple panther]

best spots for pvp on shoreline? resort kinda dead ngl

3 raids, met 1 person

[glad oasis]

lucky, every time I visit that fucking map I get double teamed or camped

[supple panther]

damn

i wish

trying to do punisher part 4 rq

[tidal lagoon]

idk man

try #community-support

[versed valley]

Wait 5-10minutea

[storm tree]

keep running and looting resort

[supple panther]

no keys tho

can u even get good shit without keys?

[storm tree]

still open rooms are decent

[supple panther]

idk shoreline is my least opened map

[supple panther]

any in particular?

[storm tree]

east side theres a ledx spawn and shit

e219

[glad oasis]

wait for someone who does have keys to unlock them, then kill them

[storm tree]

and west 3rd floor

has a lot of duffles and rare spawns

[low merlin]

resorts hands down, there are some spawns were you can instantly turn around (on the right side of the map) and push into other peoples spawn (or camp the way they might walk) but other then that it is resort.

[midnight spruce]

damn

and how long it takes to get items in it

[low merlin]

you could also camp the top bridge, power plant or the gas station, if you want to snipe and don't want to do the same thing over and over

[supple panther]

damn

just found 3rd san tape

[tidal lagoon]

depends on ur scav rep and item u choose but around 5 hours

[glad oasis]

ok the absolute dealbreaker for the G36 is that you can't take the handle off to make it fit in one row instead of two

I store my weapons that way because I'm a squirrel that collects guns

also question- is the recoil on the m4 light enough that I can use the PDW stock or is it going to jump too much

[crude anvil]

dont use an m4 with over 50vertical recoil

[versed valley]

These kind of m4's should be used as adars with a panic barrel stuffing mode

(mainly used in semi auto)

[crude anvil]

brother

i think u got bigger problems than what stock to use on an m4

[supple panther]

🤣

[versed valley]

[glad oasis]

my wallet is on my pmc because my inventory is big rn

[low merlin]

[glad oasis]

I have 108k roubles

[bold kernel]

why do i randomly get attacked by scavs when I playt as scav?

[versed valley]

[versed valley]

You shot other scavs?

Also you get attacked by ai scavs or player scavs?

[bold kernel]

no just while looting a random crate second time it happened i never shoot

i dont attack anyone as scav cause i dont want to risk fence karma

[low merlin]

ki scav or player scav?

[bold kernel]

ai scav

i was looting crate just now and ai scav boss with sledgehammer ran up to me and smacked me

followed by 3 other ai scavs

who were shooting

[crude anvil]

tagilla

[low merlin]

Boss are only friendly towards player scav, if you have a very high scav karma (and I can gurantee you, that yours is low)

[crude anvil]

he is not a friend

[versed valley]

You sure those werent raiders or gluhar?

[bold kernel]

i have .58 scav karma rn but it happened before too but with normal scavs

[low merlin]

okay, quick question, were you playing on your pmc or scav?

[bold kernel]

scav

[low merlin]

for bosses to be friendly, you need scav karma of 6.0 you have 0.58. If you get to close to a Boss (and their guards) they will attack and kill you

Also there are other Ki in the game, like Raider and Rogues, those will also kill you

[glad oasis]

random other question- are PMC jamming animations reliant on being USEC or BEAR?

[crude anvil]

gotta love it

[glad oasis]

I noticed that my PMC takes longer to unjam an AK than an M4

[midnight relic]

guys i just did chem part 4 wich trader should i chose idk

[spark birch]

Hey All! Wondering if anyone can help... been playing EFT for a few years but never made it past level 10 as I just can't get to grips with it. Really keen to try and learn more and get better at PVP this wipe.

Does anyone have any videos they'd recommend that genuinely helped them improve at the game when it was new to them?

[glad oasis]

ok on the wiki it says there's USEC AR handling and BEAR AK handling so maybe this is a thing but I can't find it in-game

[uncut sluice]

That's a bit hard

[mighty flicker]

bois, what is flea market rep for

[uncut sluice]

Being able to list more than 2 items

[mighty flicker]

when r u able to do taht

[glad oasis]

I guess you could go to factory with a mosin and pray

[uncut nimbus]

then u get like 7 flea rep

[uncut sluice]

Customs only

[mighty flicker]

ty sir

[glad oasis]

the mosin rule still applies because you can onetap people in a lot of armor with it for cheap

[low merlin]

don't waste your time doing daily quest while you are low level, it only gives 3k xp for 6pmc kills, you will get more xp in less time invested, if you just do normal quests (and it will open up more quests).

[glad oasis]

normal quests
Checking sends you to dorms/the shadow realm

[low merlin]

Xp for daily quests scalles with level, they only become really good at around level 44 (don't know the exact level)

[mellow belfry]

who is best to turn chemical part 4 into?

[low merlin]

You just need a strategy, assuming you have the key, take some food and water, then wait the first 15-20min and go to dorms before all the scav player spawn but at a time when most people are already dead or left.

[glad oasis]

also does putting a salewa inside your alpha turn it into a not found in raid item

because I found a salewa on a shelf in customs and put it in my alpha but can't turn it in to Therapist

I might have just gotten Tarkov'ed I guess

like what is the damn point of the alpha if it takes away found in raid

[uncut sluice]

I bought EOD thinking that I wouldn't have to play tetris anymore and now it's full again

[pearl palm]

the moa is good enough to snipe to 80m or so, plenty of range for a shotgun
however the zero makes it overshoot at pretty much all ranges, and bc of how the trajectories work it requires your own testing at distances to work out how much to adjust
its not a "ah im far away put it slightly above" kind of deal
its a, "do i aim for the chin, center of mass, stomach" kind of deal

[low merlin]

The decission is between Therapist and Prapor. Prapor gives you 2xAmmo cases, if they sell for a lot, you can take him and sell the Ammo cases on the flea and buy an Injectorcase from the flea. Or you take the Injectorcase directly from Therapist.
I always give it to Therapist, because I find it easier to give Prapor the 10xGranades (you can buy them from the flea) then give Therapist all the keys.
But if you want to spend the time, you look what 2xAmmo cases give you on the flee then minus 1xInjectorcase and minus what all the keys cost for Therapist vs the cost of the 10x Granades, then you know it exactly.

[low merlin]

An Item only counts as found in raid, if you extract with it. Meaning that if you die with an item in your secoure container you will keep it, but it won't be found in raid.

[glad oasis]

💀

[uncut sluice]

To prevent hatchlings

[glad oasis]

if only I could survive raids more

thanks for the info at last

[stiff inlet]

im looking for an duo to play with, im still new

[uncut sluice]

Why can't 7.62x39 muzzle breaks go on .366 guns? They have the same caliber

[low merlin]

game balance

[glad oasis]

https://www.quora.com/Would-it-be-possible-to-shoot-366-TKM-with-a-7-62x39-AK-or-the-other-way-around

I figured it had to do with the bullet being too slow to clear the muzzle like the normal round and it could bounce and damage it because paradox barrels

[pearl palm]

the bullets are different diameter so it wouldnt work

you can fire .366 out of 762x39 guns... after replacing the barrel

so naturally, 762x39 muzzle devices wouldnt fit on .366 barrels and vice versa, bc theyre different sizes

the bullets are roughly the same size at the base, but 762x39 is necked, .366 is straight walled, so while it still fits in the same mags (bc the widest point is the same), the physical bullet's diameter of .366 is much wider

[solar flare]

Can someone help me with the tarcone directory quest, I have the key but going solo is hard I heard

[pearl palm]

u can try the lfg channel
and u could always go later in the raid

[mighty flicker]

what NVG can go on TC-2002

[mellow belfry]

how do you unlockd decontamination services? I am on it but its locked with no specifications and the quest tree doest say any either

[pearl palm]

previously you needed to have done health care privacy 5/private clinic
but quests have been changed around so requirements could have changed

[quiet zephyr]

Can someone help me win at least one raid

I just started again and I keep dying. I feel horrible

[sage sphinx]

Anyone know a fix to the scav "server connection lost" bug?

[pliant arch]

there was a scav shooting at me? i killed him and i lost rep? what happened??

[mighty flicker]

can I wear NVG for "the survivalist path eagle owl" but not make the kills while having it enabled?

[versed valley]

Yea .308 is 762 so .366 is much bigger

.366 bullet is larger as casing is not necked

[pearl palm]

ye, which is why it wont even fire if u mismatch ammo, it doesnt even fit properly
556 and .300 blackout tho, im pretty sure that can fire (but will probably explode)

[pearl palm]

did they hit you?

[versed valley]

Yea 556 and .300 blk can fire

[pliant arch]

yeah they shot me in the leg

[versed valley]

Just like 556 can fire from a .223 gun

[pearl palm]

weird, idk
maybe you were already marked as a traitor?
what map was this on, scavs protect tagilla and fire on other scavs im pretty sure

[pliant arch]

i was on factory near office, this guy (obviously a player scav because he was looting the shelves) and he just shot me in the leg with his shotgun, i shoot him in the head with my mosin and then exfil since i was injured and bleeding out

[pearl palm]

oh, thats a change
ai can now loot

[bold kernel]

He mustn’t have hit you it’s based off who gets the first hit, many players shoot around other scavs to make them shoot first

[graceful osprey]

you need to do these quests

[gusty timber]

Best place to go when I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing?

[versed valley]

Search for guides on yt or find someone to help you on sherpahub discord #sherpa-info

[normal cloud]

imo customs and factory are the two easiest maps to navigate

[inner bay]

I got peacekeeper level 3 and want to start trying out p90, what ammo is good for it do you thinkl

[pearl palm]

whats available to you

[inner bay]

SS197SR, SS198LF AND LI91

[pearl palm]

go for L191
its not great against class 4, but with enough shots it works

[versed valley]

Legmeta p90 is not recommended but still viable

[pearl palm]

they gutted sb193, so 5.7 as a whole got a lot worse
unles they added a way to get ss190 from traders

[inner bay]

thank you all 🙂 not new to game but never touched a p90 ever and want to try other guns

Tune in for p90 rant later 😛

[pearl palm]

you can try leg meta, ss198LF would be ur best bet there

ideally you wait for any of the r37 bullets tho

[inner bay]

thanks a mill :), inm one level I'll have the SR again too and I enjoyed that gun last wipe

might try the li91 for now

[pearl palm]

but the argument for leg meta kinda doesnt work once you consider you could just go kedr/klin/ppsh

[pearl palm]

its quickly becoming worse and worse tho, as people are wearing a lot more class 4s
its basically useless against 5s, so u have a brief period to use it now until you get ss190

[inner bay]

ye makes sense, I'll look up when I gert that and might hold off maybe. just bored cant run aks until at least getting bp and just been running vpo's and akms with ps

actually just noticed I have access to fmj for mp7 now though hmmm

[proud forge]

You dont have to take every fight you come across. Sometimes, its best to fall back to an advantageous position to wait and see if they follow.

[fluid rain]

any tips for stirup? i hae lost like 500k on pistl already

[pearl palm]

500k on pistols? have you been modding out the pistols every single raid?

[pearl palm]

well with the ttk, you cant always disengage

[fluid rain]

no, maybe a flashlight

[proud forge]

Tasks like that, run casually man. No need to focus grind 1 type of kills. itll happen naturally over time. But, if youre itchin to get it done... Theres some thick bushes next to attachment cabin on woods. I hid there with my pistol for 2 of mine

[pearl palm]

?? then howd u spend so much

[fluid rain]

skill issue

[proud forge]

prolly gear too

[pearl palm]

well, he said 500k on pistols, not on loadouts
just load into factory naked with a pistol

shoot enough bullets ull get the kills eventually, for much cheaper

[fluid rain]

plus gear thats atlleast a mil

[proud forge]

Everything in tarkov is a skill issue. The entire community grinds PVE tasks to unlock better gear to have an edge over the other rats. Tarkov making BANK sellin crutches frfr

[pearl palm]

you could buy something like the apb and just full auto spray in peoples faces
as long as one hits ull get a kill, this needs to happen 3 times

[proud forge]

I like cankles

[fluid rain]

i dont have the apb unlocked yet

[pearl palm]

well, just take the TT and keep running naked pistols on facotory, ull get it done in no time

for cheap too

[fluid rain]

one last question is it normal to find gas ans in cabinets?

[pearl palm]

yes

[proud forge]

Yes @fluid rain Now, go sit in some bushes with an m9a3

[fluid rain]

[pearl palm]

id go factory, gets it done a lot quicker
ull die more, but its only a pistol

[proud forge]

and your dignity xD]

[pearl palm]

says the bush rat

[proud forge]

For 1 task xD Go check my songs if you wanna see my playstyle with some facts at your disposal 😄

[fluid rain]

any improvments i can make to this sks? (i wanna stash run on shore)

[proud forge]

Nothing worth spending the money on

[pearl palm]

looks good
id run a cheaper grip tho

(if u built it urself that is)

[fluid rain]

i found all these attachments from scav runs so its free for me

[pearl palm]

nice
put some PS in there and ur good to go

if you can find an opsks you can maybe try sniping with a pso

[thorn ivy]

I have heating and rest place level 2, why is energy still only going up by one?
same with water collector level 1

[fluid rain]

ps or sp? i cant find ps on any traders

[pearl palm]

did you just install them?
bc sometimes you need to refresh for those changes to properly show up

[pearl palm]

scavs spawn with PS, loot pockets and rigs to find PS

[thorn ivy]

no have had them for some days now

like 4 days or something

or 2 or 3 idk lol

[pearl palm]

oh then idk lol

boxes of PS ammo also spawn

SP is pretty bad, id hold off until you get more PS

[uncut nimbus]

I cant scav on streets

[proud forge]

Attachment shack on woods is LOADED with good ammo, just outside, to the right of the door by the pile of boxes

[crude anvil]

propital

[orchid isle]

op sks >

[crude anvil]

to use a vepr

with a bastion

27x better than an sks could ever be

[fluid rain]

are there any 5.45 dmrs?

[pearl palm]

SAG 545 AK

545s pretty bad for sniping tho

[fluid rain]

i got like 120 rounds of bp and ik im gonna waste it all in a normal fight

[pearl palm]

you can put 10 rounds on top of the mag and 20 rounds of something cheaper on the bottom

so instead of 4 mags, you now have 12 mags

[crude anvil]

im losing my fucking mind

[pearl palm]

545 is pretty much the worst rifle cartridge to snipe with, with the exception of 7n40

BT/BS/PPBS cant reliably one tap helmets after distance and armor damage reduction are taken into account
im pretty sure PPBS straight up never one taps heads through armor

[fervent thorn]

Anybody who could help me by opening up portable bunkhouse on customs? just need it to continue my quest but no way am I going to pay half a mil for an otherwise useless key 😂 eu region btw

[sacred lotus]

[surreal wave]

[vocal parcel]

fk yes, solo killed the gang and took his tt out for the quest

[tidal lagoon]

[sacred lotus]

can anyone help me do supply plans and health care privacy part 3 both on woods

[pearl palm]

nice
get any good ammo from them?

[vocal parcel]

just 86a1 and 5a1

[pearl palm]

u said just like those arent meta ammo

[vocal parcel]

the 5a1 was from a player that died to them iirc
