i don't like em
I want to ask do I need a key to access to ZB-013 exit in custom
anyone?
no?
alright cool
I guess I should fuck myself lol
Yeah factory exit key
“The factory key is a key in escape from tarkov”
I would’ve never known
Nobody would of ever known
is the only way to acquire SS190 ammo by crafting it in the workbench?
u can find it
more or less, yes
bruh i was hoping i would be able to buy it from high level traders since i like running p90
why did they make it so hard to get certain items compared to last wipe? i havent seen a single person using altyn helmet yet and i havent found any
you cant buy that as well
L191
or gigachad SB193
i have seen plenty of altyn, but its rare, if you cant buy it, you wont see it too much
thx
best place to finish that stinky dry skin mission from jager?
Factory - the map
Yeah, I can't fucking tell anyone apart
How am I supposed to know who is a PMC and who is a scav?
Such a dumb mechanic
Gear is really your only indicator.
Why is this a thing???
God, people are talking about some "iMmErSiOn" stuff
It’s pretty easy to tell once you get used to it.
How is taking a penalty over something super difficult to tell
How
there is a method
Also Scavs have different clothes as well.
Well yeah.
This is a PVP video game where you can never die and survive fatal wounds. Like, come on.
Realism isn’t held over gameplay.
It has to keep a balance of fun and realism.
It wouldn’t be fun if you died and could never play again.
Then why are you and everyone else against simply letting everyone know who is a Scav? Should be this way from the start if there's going to be massive penalities for killing other scavs as a scav
It's common sense
Actually, that was rhetorical
Don't answer lmao
What else could they do to let you know who’s a Scav rather than just looking at them?
My fault gang.
I really don't want to hear anything else that isn't a "you're right", there's no way to excuse it at all that isn't just elitism
Literally dying in this game is super duper easy if you don't shoot first, if you think a PMC is a Scav, you will die seconds after
Um, special auras or... something? Like, really?
Aura??
That’s got to be some magical shit that doesn’t belong in Tarkov.
And usually when you see a PMC they will look at you and aim. Like they want to kill you.
You need to read their behaviour as well.
Once I started to play the game for real I never had an issue telling the difference from a Scav or PMC.
Who pressed me for suggestions? And that was my first thought, something that says by default if someone is a Scav, like a hovering "SCAV" over someone, idk?
Also if you’re playing Scav just use a voicelins. Changes are that other player Scavs will do the same to show they are a Scav.
A UI element like that is simply just against the entire point of Tarkov.
I don’t think Tarkov is the kind of game you’re looking for.
What is "the entire point of Tarkov"?
It’s supposed to be a realistic shooter whatever else.
Tagged and Cursed already exists, so you're simply not making any sense
Your game contradicts you completely
It’s not supposed to have UI that gives you information on other people.
Yet alone much UI at all.
Tagged and cursed doesn’t put a tag over your head for other players to see.
realism to a point
It makes AI see you through walls...? Um, you've missed the point
That’s what I’m trying to say.
bhopping is a thing in the game and i don't see real life soldiers bhop to cover
Realism to a point.
so realism is indeed to a point
people shoot while falling like it's a john wick movie and they land every shot, realism to a point
Tarkov is as real as it can be while still having unrealistic features that improve the player experience.
id do that irl
So... you concede that you have no room to stand on then?
based
what was this discussion about even tho?
What??
Okay, so then you have no reason to be against revealing Scavs then
He can’t tell the difference between PMCs and Scavs.
Since Tarkov adds unrealism to improve the experience, then this should be common sense.
You don't have a good reason, at all, other then an argument already ruined
It’s too unrealistic.
Nope. You just disproved it.
unlucky
You ruined your own ground through talking, you no longer have any ground.
If you’re just going to ignore me and tell me that I disagree with myself. I’m gonna go elsewhere.
Have fun though.
Well, you do, you contradicted yourself. Sorry.
It's plain to see.
I assume u want it as a scav so u know who to shoot, but scav is already just free money
the whole game is about getting shot in the cranium and losing 50% of your brain then using 5 cheeses to heal yourself back to life before drinking a sip of water and going back
and that would just make it even more free and easy
realism is there, but at a limit
just overall lowering the difficulty
Tarkov isn’t supposed to be easy.
Scav bosses and PMCs exists though?
I thought you were going elsewhere?
trust me with enough experience you'll be able to tell who's who
yea thats what im saying, i assume u want to be able to play as a scav so u can identify if its a scav or pmc or whatever
I had this same problem where I just kept shooting everything I see cause idk scavs from pmcs
Still doesn't excuse a unnecessary game design flaw, "realism" was just blown through
You just need to get used to it alright. You can tell the difference, it just takes experience.
and if its about scav being free then pmcs and scav bosses add a little risk to otherwise free money
scav bosses are easy to avoid
If you're going to continue talking, you're going to admit that you disagreed with yourself. You're not going to dodge out of it.
what's so hard about looking at a person and seeing what they're wearing?
I feel like you’re more pressed about me than you are about your actual issue.
u can hardly call it a design flaw that u dont get a ui indicator of what faction others are
game isnt a walk in the park

One of the most common questions that I hear from new Tarkov players is, "How can you tell an AI scav apart from a PMC?" It's a skill that requires time and practice, but in this Escape from Tarko...
^
Because you're trying to get away from what I said. You still haven't responded to it.
You defended unrealism to improve the player experience, your words.
No. I’m ignoring you because it’s not relevant.
You don't get to decide that, and it is. 🙂
Unrealism and realism are balanced.
there are a multitude of factors to tell a scav apart from a PMC, many videos talk about that on youtube
and like thundershock said, realism and unrealism is balanced
It’s very easy to tell.
Tarkov is a unique experience cause it's not a walk in the park where everything is shown everywhere for you to see, it's about learning
We’re trying to help you.
but it's also not real life where you only live once
Yeah cause then it wouldn’t be fun.
Several of these are RNG (voice lines) or having to memorize every single armor... like, really?
It’s about as real as it can be.
it's not armor it's clothing
Clothes is the main thing.
Goddamn, some people 💀
I feel like I'm back in the TCM community, "ITS A MOVIE THEREFORE BAD MECHANICS ARE AOKAY"
feel like the game isnt for u
"IGNORE QUEUE TIMES"
does feel like the game isn't for you
Yeah, that's typically what people say to dismiss criticism so w/e
I feel like you just need to get used to the mechanics of Tarkov or go play another game. It’s clearly not for you.
not really
or its what people say after only seeing someone want the game to be easier
Your criticism is suggesting that Tarkov adds features that they purposely don’t include.
Yes, really, I've dealt with in so many communities lmao I actually came from a community using excuses to shut up haters, then the game died because they didn't listen
i was on the same boat as you and I got angry just as much as you if not more cause every time I go on a scav run it feels like I'm getting punished for making any decision, where shooting people gets me punished and not shooting people gets me killed
did I start complaining and crying that the game is hard and blaming mechanics? nope
I just kept bashing my head against a wall until I understood
I just got used to it.
Yeah exactly.
the way you put it is you call it a design flaw, did u consider the devs wanted it to be somewhat of a challenge to identify your enemies? they crated tarkov to be a hard and unforgiving game
I now know where scavs spawn, what they look like, what they sound like, and their behavior
not a arcade shooter
THAT is the design of tarkov, it's about learning
^
I mean, you three kinda just proved me right.
And are still backing each other up
The design of Tarkov is that you can’t just see the faction of anybody.
when one plays tarkov they play it for many things at different levels, at first it's exploring and learning, then it's PVPing and questing, then it's enjoying tarkov
Then don't add massive penalities???
There aren’t.
Tagged + Cursed, Scav cooldown increased, etc
Mfw we tell you why it isn’t in the game (we somehow proved you right).
There are penalities for shooting other scavs as a scav, it's being a "traitor Scav"
Tagged and cursed is if you get below -5.00 rep.
tagged and cursed is just like going to airsoft irl, you're not risking your life, and you're just there to enjoy fighting people with guns
You still haven't addressed my original argument, "it's not relevant" doesn't handwave it away.
I dont think you understand those penalities because they are hardly as massive as u make them out to be
Your original argument was that they should add indicators to tell Scav from PMC.
We heavily disagree with you.
Oh, I know. And I'm right, nothing you've said has disproved it.
at this point you just lost a few scav runs and you're complaining and there's only 2 places to go, either you suck it up and learn then find out we're right, or you leave and never come back
both are viable
were obviously hard disagreeing with each other and you think we are coping and we think you are coping so ye id agree its a pointless discussion at this point
I can also suck it up and I find out that I'm still right. lmao
I don’t think that whether a game feature should be added or not is something you can be right about. It’s opinion based.
If you want it so bad then make a suggestion in #887656579221053440.
Clothing on scavs arms look like sport and civilian clothing and pmcs have tactical stuff, pmcs have helmets or nice caps and scavs have wierd looking ushankas, its not hard to distinguish once you see it
I’m 200hrs first wipe. First pc game. New too discord. Extremely lost. That being said, how or where would I go about asking for help on some of my tasks?
See how many people agree with you.
most scavs yell at the top of their lungs when you run next to them as a PMC
You can find some people who may be up the helping you out.
here, ask away, or #pvp-lfg to get someone to guide you, or #sherpa-info for sherpas that will mostly explain in game stuff
Exactly.
which, @spare robin you should also try #sherpa-info
Nobody will, so it's better to just go tell the devs
sherpas have a higher understanding of the game and they'll explain exactly how to make a scav from a PMC
Sherpa can help yeah.
Thank you. It had a lock symbol so I thought it was locked. And I don’t wanna accidentally join someone’s group and they like who this weirdo lol
Devs won’t add your feature if one person asks them. Especially since you already know nobody will agree with you. It won’t be added.
The devs care about the majority of the community more than the opinion of one person.
Dw about it lmao.
plus, some in game tips state that scavs are bandits who are grouped up together in gangs, usually of 2+, from this you should be able to conclude that if you see a grouping of people that have the characteristics of a scav that are shown in the in-game hint system or that are described on youtube videos, you'd know how to tell a scav and a PMC apart
I never see this, never, but alright.
Adding a tag to pmcs would take away any chance of camouflage too??
No, scavs would simply be able to tell each other apart, that's all. That was what I was saying.
i'm not so sure why bubbascal is pressing on the fact that scavs are an issue when there are 500 other things that are just as frustrating and unclear about the game as scavs if not more that also need addressing
Fuming for what
rats for example who 90% of the time you can legit never get past and almost always die to, or sniper roleplayers that just one tap you somewhere from the clouds when you have no idea where they are, these are more pressing matters than just losing scav rep or not knowing a scav from a PMC
extract campers too
Multiple things can be an issue at the exact same time.
Nobody agrees that that’s an issue though.
Knowing scavs from pmcs is just not an issue at all?
scavs are the most fixable issue out of all the other issues this game has yet you're so pressing on just that, when a few hours of gameplay and learning will be just enough to fix it
anyways, I came here to ask a question, where do i go to finish the dehydration mission from jager? like what's the best map?
Desync gives you advantages against rats
bruh who struggles with telling a scav apart from pmc 💀
shoreline
Bruh it's a whole day later and you're still in here complaining about scavs
tbh i used to
Any map where you can hide closish to an extract, go in a bush and eat à jar of mayo to jump start the dehydration, you can pop à propital to counteractt the damage
Any map really. The task is finished as soon as you survive for the 5 minutes so you don't even need to extract iirc. Just find a lonely spot and you'll be good
nah you do need an extract
Shit you're right. Mb
but you don't need to do the dehydration again
Anyone who isn't an expert already or hasn't watched a huge amount of videos
Also, I don't want to be pinged anymore about this, thanks
I've kinda already gotten good at other video games, I know my opinion will change to "Sure, you can tell Scavs apart with this stuff, but that shouldn't be the case for newbies because of all of these things"
If youre on your scav and you see someone just use the voiceline ( default f1), other scavs will voiceline back 99%, if its russian gibberish its a scav, pmcs might shoot but nothing you can do about it
Anyways, have a nice day everyone. 😊
It doesn’t take much skill to differentiate.
Some times it's pretty hard to tell the difference, especially now scavs can steal pmc gear off of bodies and end up kitted 😆 I just hit F1 when I'm unsure and try to VOIP and basically accept I'm about to get smashed by a PMC or pleasantly surprised by another scav
Yep. Sometime’s I just listen for their footsteps and just kind of pay attention to their behaviour.
F1 and the footsteps stop dead... It's panicking time
then you hear a spin
Getting palpitations thinking about it, this game really makes me nervous
I feel that.
it's why i love it
no other game can make me feel like this
Is it a regular occurrence around here for folks to make a 5 stack for factory quests still btw? Kinda why I've joined the discord
Thanks, wasn't sure if it was better asking in here seeing as it's some early door quests that go there
Tarkov has me more scared than horror games.
FACTS
Anything having to do with the deep sea is infinitely terrifying for me. Nothing can top it
I've started dabling in my first night raids to see if it makes some quest steps easier and it's just upped the stress and fear factors for me 😆
I’m terrified of the sea.
what is a tool set used for?
many hideout upgrades, crafts and some tasks
Quests, and crafts.
i cant use it for my security door tho correct?
Soma scared the shit out of me. Good game
Imagine being in the real ocean. I’d die.
Never heard of it. Gonna have to check that out.
Same devs that made Amnesia
I heard of that one yeah.
?
Still don’t really know what it is.
the hideout upgrade ?
yes
so should i just sell it?
thx
You can always buy another one off the flea market.
cant im lvl 8
RIP.
im struggling to lvl up but i have 2.2mil
you will get there eventually
Assume you've got a scav box? If not great investment for half your money to store your toolset for all eternity
if you have 2mil, buy a junk box.. to store junk
k
hey Thundershock, can I actually ask you a random question about earlier? It won't be a discussion, I'm just curious
its the single most efficient container
my issue is i dont like playing solo but my homie only wants to play for gear not lvls
thats sounds stupid, you should always play for lvl, at least until lvl 15
how is he gonna get gear if he cant buy it
idk
Solo isn’t that bad. I played solo for the longest time.
its is broke
true i play better solo but i enjoy games for the game and the people
Game is 100% more fun with buddies for sure.
Just less loot as well lmao.
Thunder, if I got extremely good at Tarkov and well-respected for my skills, and still made the same suggestion about scavs, would people consider it?
Willerz could make that suggestion and people would think hes joking
Well people by default respect and consider the opinions of large community figures but if people don’t like the idea well being well known isn’t going to likely change it
No.
Most likely not.
And if he confirmed he wasn't?
Then we'd be worried for his wellbeing
Yeah.
People wouldn’t take it seriously still
If they think it’s a joke it’s not gonna be any better when they realize it isn’t.
If its not indiscrete, what lvl are you?
Being famous isn’t exactly a massive motivator for people to agree with you unless you don’t have any critical thinking skills
Well, I've noticed that people are more likely to agree with their "pro players" and more likely to listen to them since they have "lots of hours"
You can have a lot of hours and be bad, have bad opinions or both
But I’m willing to hear you out even if my opinion doesn’t really mean much, what did you suggest?
He wants tags to be placed above players that indicate what faction they are.
That would also make tracking players stupid easy.
Hmmmm, well except for the PMCs who try to pretend they are scavs im not really sure what that adds
And straight unfair.
Tracking players.
Because big tag above head.
Also just imagine playing PMC and randomly seeing a tag in the distance.
You never would’ve known somebody was even there.
Seeing people from long distances, especially in cases of reduced visibility is not really in the interest of PvP I would say
Just generally not a good idea IMO.
The only way that could try to be incorporated is with the PMC karma system which not many people really want considering how much it would take away from PvP interactions, cool idea but not one that would work well in tarkov
Yeah. It fits more of an arcade shooter style game.
only identification system u need
Real.
anyone like to help me learn woods Stashs?
anyione lookign to help on customs?
need help with quests

wya and what do you need help with
Can anyone help me cheese tarkov shooter part 7 i need 4 kills
its really just tasks on maps that i dont know wellm
NA or EU?
na
i'm eu sorry bud
rip
I can try to guide you? hit my dms tell me which quests
yea one sec my scav spawned with a flir so lemme do this rq
lucky
Does killing PMCs of the same group effect karma?
Because honestly there is zero, almost zero ways to identify
PMC karma isn’t in the game yet and may not be
If your talking about scav karma no it doesn’t
If they yell they’re a scav, if they’re quiet they are a well trained scav
NA, looking for someone to show me the ropes
#pvp-lfg would be a good place to check.
lol
anyone fancy helping me wit a few quests
gg died to flashlight. the funny is I shoot a whole mag at the guy (I also had a flashlight) and it does nothing (maybe Im just bad idk but I was shooting right at him with a low recoil gun, also no armor protection in death screen) then he repeeks me after Im done reloading and he insta head eyes me after also missing a mag like me
ia he a pro and I am stupid or did he just get lucky
did u check ur death screen to see if u actually hit anything
yes but I killed scavs so I have no idea
depending on ammo u prolly just missed everything
yurrr customs raids? any beginners down? im level 10 ish currently.
what's the best way to do co-op scav extracts
i think i've exhausted all my v extracts
the grind to 6 is slowing down for me
can also do armor train
or bait other scavs into shooting you
i did one on streets got into a figth with the guy he had me beat blacked out my stomach i voiped and asked him if he wanted while dropping my gun and he gave me meds
play pmc and find player scavs
possible to draw in AI scavs to the extract?
i don't use VOIP
armor train does not give rep
u can sometimes force ai scavs into the coop extract such as on interchange by using tanky armor
but its not practical
Youre gonna have to voip
ye ure fucked without
ive only done it with team mates, solo might be harder idk since its easier for them to kill u if they want to
ye definitely do that if solo
not worth any risk then
with team mates they dont get anything from shooting u cuz they will die anyways, but solo is different game
yea, i find that this game has a whole different experience for group players
Ye
it does
eh make sense, sells more copies of the game
well tbf its hard to balance it for solo players
its natural that groups will have an advantage in any game
which is why alot of average solos quit after 1-2 months in
but solos have some advantages that groups wont have like being able to shoot anyone they want
just gotta play with your strengths
when u learn the game definitely very playable to be solo tho
playable is not the same as having a fun time
just came out of a raid where i heard someone going up to #21 containers and was about to ambush him
then i heard 2 more footsteps and was nah screw that
well the more u fight groups the better u will be at it
big emphasis on 'average' solo players
fosho
maybe if i invested alot of time into this game sure
i mean solo is fun but when you starting out i think it's better to be "carried" by someone
does klimov extract work? i tried it the other day and we almost died
did it a few weeks ago with no problem
think so
did u actually fire it in signal area?
did u maybe angle it too high and it went behind u?
the green flare was up ahead of us. we stood right next to the sniper scav sign, waited until the flare was in front of us up in the air, and ran forward just to get shot at
like we've done it a few times this wipe, idk what we're doing wrong.
did you stand in the signal area?
it says "signal flare area" in the bottom right if u are
we fired it before that area, and then 10 seconds later we moved up to "signal flare area" and that's when we got shot
yea u need to fire the flare in the signal flare area
really? i always fired it before. like right at the corner behind pinewood. worked that way a month ago
diod they change it when they fixed it last week?
Its always been you had to shoot it in the signal flare area lol
no, im pretty sure u always needed to be standing in the area indicated by the bottom right
oh then idk why it worked before
How do y’all start late wipe? I played to 55 or so last wipe and didn’t play the beginning of this wipe, it’s next to impossible to stay alive starting this late
leg meta until you get some decent ammo for class 4, which should be 56a1 on PK2. no longer quest locked so u get it the moment u get PK2
I’ve always got into the signal flare area and shot it straight up into the air
Maybe you still aimed and shot into the area from the corner of pinewood
ok i just watched 2 videos. one showed before that spot and one showed in this box. i'll just move up further before shooting it up next time
👍
just had a cheater run away from a fight
Shit is so rough rn lol I can’t survive any raids rn, last wipe my sr was pretty good
yeah we did do that at first when we were trying to figure it out at the beginning of the wipe lol. this time it looks like we were just standing too far back
yea, u gotta fight through it until u get 56a1, its going to be brutal
kedr/klin are ur friends
mcx with cbj, but it's expensive
Ya safest would be just to shoot straight up when youre in the zone
me 😦
yea i just watch for the notification
damn, bros on EOD+
starting with skier3 WB3
LOL
oh yeah, after level 15 i should've mentioned
my bad
just ran around and avoided people and did tasks until 15
New to the discord here so forgive a dumb question. So just to make sure I'm getting this right, if I'm wanting to try and get a 5 man to make a couple factory quests easier (delivery from the past and Farming pt1) I should just post in LFG about it, hop in a factory voice channel and wait for 4 kind strangers to join it too?
yes
Magic, wish me luck
or if there's another group in a factory lfg, you could ask them if you can join
i see some with 3 people. might be worth asking them to join if you can't get a full one
Just drop in the chat to ask them or message to ask? Wanting to make sure I've got the correct etiquette 😆
i'd dm one of them tbh
Should I be joining the beginner discord calls or just the calls for the map I wanna play? Played 4 wipes now but just started this wipe so I’m only level 6, don’t wanna inconvenience anyone lol
if your're good and experienced, i don't see an issue with joining a regular map one
probably a mixed bag of new and veteran players in all of the calls anyway
Just no endurance and strength so I feel like people will get annoyed that I’m lagging behind lol
i wouldn't worry about that
go almost naked as pmc, run to co-op extract shoot in a rhythm
dont worry about that at all
if they complain about it, theyre assholes
100%
wat r good keys for Interchange?
11sr, ultra med, emercom, both kiba keys and 21ws
Thx dude love u 

Remember you need both kiba Keys
Inner and outer
One is useless alone
its always funny to open the outer and watch player scavs to get in with the inner locked 
What adapter do you need in order the mount a saker 556 can to the scar-l?
This is evil 
I know 😉
d
an
Ok
who killed me xd?
i hear 2 shots past me and i just die
LMAO? I was on 0 for like 20 sec
an ai of somesort
what a joke
Looks more like you died of hunger or dehydration, tbh.
which of these would I keep or sell? haven't really used stims at all
they all have their use. just keep what you want and sell what you don't care to use.
i personally love sj6 but don't care much about the others
where the hell do mule stims spawn, though? been trying to find them in raid for a task. only labs or what?
The black, blue and green keycard rooms on labs, scav case, valuable spawns on lighthouse and from the pockets and backpacks of sanitar and his guards
Keep all
A lot of those will be used for samples
i only have yellow 😦
sanitar is easy enough to kill but he never spawns when i go shoreline
Propital is very try useful, L1, 3btg, obdoblos 1 and meldonin are used for later tasks, sj6 is a good stim and morphine is used for an early therapist task, the only one there without a direct use is sj1
i have handed a folder in a train, and i bought a key "220" but i cant give the key to the skier, i dont have a special button. Can someone help me?
Hmmmm
Either
Relog your game or
If that doesn’t work
Have you done the task “polikhim hobo” from prapor?
didn`t help
no
i just started playing can anyone tell me what im supposed to be working tword
Tasks
is chemical really gated by polikim hobo lol
That’s very ambiguous, you kinda have to figure it out but I can give you some suggestions of common goals for players
- Kappa container
- Lightkeeper
- Both kappa and lightkeeper
- Get every coloured labs keycard
- PvP and gaining as much rare gear and money as possible
Yes
no
shitting on timbos we have like 2.5 months left of wipe
u get polik after doing chem 1
No you don’t
oh so buddy just didn’t get the folder or he must of died
wiki says otherwise
You get them at the same time
you can finish chemical 1 without hobo
after accepting then i guess
Hm
but u can do entire chemical without doing polikhim
You sure?
that’s what i thot cos i coulda swore i was on chemical 2 while getting scav kills still
Well maybe I was looking in the wrong places because for me it never spawned until I had it done (the folder)
I double checked the wiki for its spawns
But maybe I’m just blind idk
if you have the quest accepted its not locked by some other quest
why there is no solo duo and other raid modes when im new player its imposible for me to kill squad i kill 1 and other can even mele me
OK TARKOV
NO.
dropped my bag and it rolled on a flat surface out of bounds
yes
That's evil.
i had so much loot and a pmcs kit that i killed lol
just not my raid i guess
forgot all my keys too
couldnt do quest
lost backpack
pain
Dodge the squads if you know you cant take em, hide well in a bush and they 99% move right past ya never seeing you
did they move svd mags? i swear i could buy them yesterday
u can buy lil ones
20rds
Uhhh maybe u just bought em off flea without knowing
or u lost rep
can someone help me with getting jaegers documents? im really new to this
can someone help me get the bronze pocket watch been trying for hours and either die or key is already gone😫
anyone knows how to fix pocket loss i have consistent pocket loss everygame 15% or more ive got 1gigabyte optic fiber i dont know why i keep getting pocket loss pls dm me if u know how to fix thanks
I can help you, we can try either night or just try and grind out day
which scav case is better for stimsS?
UGHH
i want to get the ahf1 and 3bt to complete samples, i know that sometimes Injectors are giving on the scav junk boxs of the hideout, i want to know if intel or moonshiness are better for this
im not sure tbh
anyone wanna help a a low lvl out. I have the task to unlock jaguerr
does shturman have less visibility like regular scavs at night or is it same distance

run black
naked run
i need they to get the black buddy
]
WHAT IS THIS RAID LOL
i already completed rsass gunsmith i dont really need one right?
Just stuff your daypack garbage in your rig
then take the tank battery
unless you want to toss the gun
200k on flea rn feels kinda meh
Ah I see
Where besides interchange is a good place for motors? Everytime I find them I don't have a bag or it's up too high to reach
found this dude tho
Anywhere has a lot of tech crates
so, street industrial area, reserve, etc
Is there a way to separate them on mapgenie by tech crates?
not getting email verification code to download the game. can anyone help?
Did you get your receipt at least?
yeah
Well, try this.
Log into the BSG website or whatever
And go to profile
Do you see that you have a game purchased?
yeah it says to install the app
Yeah press that then
yeah i did, then when i log in, it says it sent a verification code, its been like an hour still havent gotten it
Is it in your spam or something?
nope
Hm...
idk what to do
post that in there
cant make a ticket either
so that ppl will answer
can you still kill party members for pmc kill tasks, or did they patch that?
use gmail
hasnt been a thing for a while now 🙂
I did
it kinda went against their tos
circumventing quests if u will
same thing goes for cheesing pmc kills with a friend by queueing into eachother on the same map
i believe thats a nono
anything in the mag?
nope
no
send a screenshot of the task requirements
i’m not sure if a different mag could help
alr
when u do zig zags cause a scav is shooting u and he one taps u in the head on the second shot
You have the wrong muzzle break
You need the SF3P
You have the SF4P equipped instead
how do i get money wihtout dying
scav raids 
that or learn map pathing and do you best to avoid others
wya in snowcord gang
go to streets at night
bro what the fuck im trying to do basic quests there's 6 people always camping in dorms in lvl 6 gear
fucking m80 to the chest
I am trying to log into the game but I am not receiving a email for my verification code?
Yeah same
Wait till late in the raid when theres no one left
It’s not sending it to me
same here
so what afk for 20 minutes?
Yeah its sad but if you cant win the fights its a way to dodge em
Many got their email an hour or so late. Leave the login screen up.
just let me play the game i paid for my way 🫤
Or spend time looting low traffic spots
idk what ur talking about
Hey so I just only did scav raids all wipe and just dropped from 3.7 mil to 2.4 in like 3 or 4 raids. So I was wondering if anyone could give me some good cheap presets for me, a lvl 15, for pvp.
so I can just preuse it instead of spending 60 minutes making a kit
No 😄
finally got my code anyone wanna help the newbie lol
Hey is something wrong with logging into tarkov rn
cant get the code to login
it wont send to me
Dont waste money, on kits
In low level that is
Just grab an sks a headset and a paca or something and go in and get your task done
You cant get ammo worth running on good guns anyway
Yes
Hello. New blood here. Fun fact, I have no idea what im doing and need help.
I've done all of three raids, died in two of them (in less than a minute into the raid) and escaped the only one by the skin of my teeth in a scav run
damn, alr then. New issue, how tf do I get good at this game
^
Practice and stubborness, I would focus on learning 1 map at a time and try to find a weapon type/model you like and stick to it for muscle memory
Take it slow at first, imo. Eventually you'll get the hang of raid flow, hotspots, how to maneuver the map in a safer way, etc
How long u been playing
lvl 15 and this is my second wipe, got to lvl 8 last wipe
I am more of a scav warrior just doing streets
trying to get scav rep 6
Just do night raids. Wait 15-20. Bring some food. Kill lots of scavs. Get to lvl 15 for flee. Then your pretty set
Use maps on google for extract
First wipe. Played for like 6 weeks. Got my first pc a few months ago. Learning m&k at the same time. I’m lvl 22 just killing scavs pretty much. I’m only now starting to quest and pvp.
Does anybody know why I cant get my code to login
its working on my main account but not my hardcore account
game has me tweaking bro,, as a new player i literally cannot fight groups and i always choke at the end
instantly goes to the dead body instead of baiting sound queues, no pre led, kedr on reserve
this was deserved
pre med (i realize painkillers suck now)
its almost as if i like have 20 hours in this game bro
no wonder im in the BEGINNER chat
Ah don't worry bout it
you played this amazing
if it weren’t for the darkness you would’ve won 😂
^
i shouldnt have swung that door at the end
We like positivity here
nah imma be honest
you should’ve been more aggressive, it was commit or quit at the end 😔
and i looted the gun bc there was no chance i was gonna leg the second guy to death lmao with the kedr?
Any advice for me? I'm really new here
What is the aspect key for?
you need to be more specific,otherwise im just gonna tell u to go play the game
Sound is everything
Whats good first map to learn? Any good tactics for encounters with players?
if you are brand new new go into offline and shoot some scavs so u can get used to the gunplay, practice point shooting and moving fluidly
everyone will say customs or woods cos most of begenning tasks are there. play whatever map intrests you but keep in mind youre gonna have to go to other maps (stay off reserve and lighthouse probably for a little bit tho)
If you want the chance of encountering players with more ability to explore the map play some scav runs. Can still fight players, and it’ll help you differentiate between scavs and players
be prepared to diie a lot
Plus as scav you lose nothing other than what you came in with or find
focus more on living also. dont push ur luck, if you think you should leave an area listen to your gut
well look what kedr with sp8 leg meta just got me on factory lmao
oh nice another leg meta gun
one day youll start head jawing people
Killed a man with magnum buck in the legs yesterday xD
But I usually try to hit head so I die a lot :x
head easy with shotgun
Its 1am for me but I'd love to squad up with any of you guys sometime
also a laser on ur gun increases your point fire accuracy
and also point firing isnt the hip fire "uhm akshually they are too different ways of holding the gun"
so point firing is actually accurate when you need it to be
So ADS is good for certain situations and hipfire for others?
yeah like i died a lot because i would go to ads when the guy ios like 30m infront of me but hed just blast me away by the time the sight got to my face
youll feel it out, try just shooting the scavs instead of ads
You available tomorrow? I'm gonna sleep but like I said, I'm open to squadding up with anyone
no i work im also bad at the game lol
Well if we ever play together, we can be bad at the game together
Misery loves company
yeah for sure
always expect more people when you killed that first guy you thought the fight was over, same when you killed the second guy.
no i knew the other guy flipped the switch
i just wanted to grab his gun
bc no chance i was killing him with a kedr
when i have zero armor
and if you want to win fights let them fuck up, it were doomed on that last guy since you could only be at the door and he could basically be anywere either holding an angel or baiting
i usually peek when people are running, throwing nades or healing
did flechette get a nerf or something. feels like it takes more shots to kill with it now
well, more specifically the spread. i tried it in my shooting range and it somehow spreads more compared to when i used it at the start of wipe
putting a flashlight/laser at the bottom of the barrel reduces recoil climb, and putting it at the side makes the recoil sway right/left??
no
there is some effect to the recoil right?
only when point firing/hip firing. other than that, no other effects
yes and the sway when point firing
is way lower with laser/flashlight on
dying to pmcs on a scav raid with 5 mins left <<<<<
fuck
wait
c u c k is banned
word
in server
and c o c k
wtf lo
l
mate don't bypass the filter (mods get grumpy if people do)
How big spawn chance do item specific spawns have? For example these are intelligence spawns in lighthouse so how many times out of 100 would they spawn in those locations?
If youre looking to farm intel folders reserves is better
Theres no set spawns or "high chance" anymore with dynamic loot
best to just learn the spot and remember to check it if youre near
any advice on dealing with tagilla? i just seem to fall over every time i encounter him
Abuse hard cover with some distance
If you hear him full sprint pop out and mag dump
Esp when he pulls the hammer
oh right okay
Abuse his legs
Then if he goes to heal chase him
Also his stomach is unarmored
So like aim crotch area lol
Bet you got sniped by a thermal
I was playing pretty close to the minefields
:D
Well mind the signs
I was at a very reasonable distance away
Avoiding gunfire
Sounds of gunfire*
Wasn't at me
there's a small portion around the usec camp
if i get the same weekly again i think im gonna puke at interchange
those are ass rewards i’m so sorry
weapons parts for the ppsh barter tho
u accepted the terms my guy
just looted an airdrop that someone else called with Gcards and power filters inside
the guy that called it in DCed? doesn't make sense at all
i gotta extract 50 times factory
lmao
factory can take minutes lol
yeye its way better
yeh factory quick
okay but 50 times is insane
what r the rewards
nothing good i just always do weeklyes
weeklies
idk how to spell it
ill show after raid
has this happened to u guys b4?
just weird that no one shot me when i went to loot it
I'm almost level 10, but I'm thinking more and more that L2 vendors are huge early game, am I right?
You sure it wasen't just a random airdrop?
random airdrops are a thing?
like the game just decides to pop an airdrop on the map?
that's new to me
yes
Yeah, that's how it works, so if it lands near you and you haven't heard a flare gun shot off, then it's random.
From my experience the majority of airdrops are random
your lucky day
Blacked limb damage was nerfed so flechette probably feels worse
Yeah but due to the spread of any shot type ammo, your going to be hitting arms at distances over 25m
hey, js wondering
- is eft available on mac?
- is it optimized?
- what are the minimum spec requirements for eft?
no, no, idk
to run it smoothly or run it at all?
people with older cards run it
1060s and such
id suggest at least 16gb ram if you wanna play okay but 32 to play effectively
maybe not a newer cpu but within 5 years perhaps is to play decently. mines about 10 years old and can most maps except for streets
if you see someone kill tagilla as a scav will you loose rep for killing them as a scav
no
its just cause i have a rep of 6.88 and dont want to be set back to 5.8
can anyone with the marker key dorms help wit hdorms marked room quest
Did they take away multiple spawns for scav bosses? I only ever see them spawn in one location on the maps now
pretty much
sanitar still spawns multible places
reshala spawns 3 and 2 story
killa second floor
gluhar trains
tagilla is just tagilla
I got a question. How do the streamers and you tubers seem to always have a modded up crazy lookin gun and die all the time.
Are they just buying them?
yes u buy guns and mod them
depends on the gun
just dont let them take up too much space
if its a stock gun u can sell it
Really. Even the guns I pulled from a marked room. Like the modern cool lookin ones
can, depends on the gun
You could post a screenshot if you want
rsass, g28 and such from marked rooms u cant buy for cheap, I like to keep those
but chances are you cant use them yet because you dont have access to decent ammo for them
I will post a screeny because I just don’t know what’s good. All I know is 7.62 is best caliber
a problem new players always do is save scav guns and shit
i did it too
That is true but it's also worth to keep in mind that most guns that use 7.62x54R are snipers.
And snipers aren't the best for every situation
762 can mean 3 different calibers
^
x51 is extremely strong id say
Ah uh the ine that the black made shoots is what I’m talking about
well I misread it. either way though. good to keep in mind
for sure
all 3 762 cals are crazy
ye
find 51 to be the best tho personally
but might be biased cuz the guns look cool
after this svd buff
its actually on par with the other dmrs
like sr rsass and that
scar h though i came
i run svd all the time
u got a fucking ton of guns bro
idk whats good, what to run
Ay feiwinter. I'm gonna play tarkov for a bit this morning before I oughta headout. I'd be down to play a bit with you and help you through some raids. Not the best player in the world but two is better then one
theres a lot of great bases
what to sell
but none of them are build well
STM is more of a meme gun
i love my stm for scav questsXD
okay
It's good for that
yea u got lots of nice guns that arent modded great
ye
just a grip, scope and suppressor really
better pistol grip for ergo but optional really
Personally, I say sell bare minimum anything in red. Sell any guns that are badly damaged too
how do i uninstall the 30gb of negative storage this virus takes from my computor
The m1a is debatable cause you can't buy it for a while, but you also can buy it before you can get decent ammo for it
fuck the m1a
How dare you. It's my favorite .308
We are officially beefing now
I am drip man though. I like variety and I generally don't care if it's bis.
50 rounder full kitted m1a is fun though
I officially think ur opinion of liking the m1a is dumb
so why do you want me to sell the modded M4 and not the base model one
sell both
It's kitted very oddly. You can definitely flea the base m4 too
Can always just buy it later when you have the ammo/want to run one
It's a sexy gun though 😮
no

anyone from eu that wanna help me with some quest im level 19
holy shit
only when rsassed
I like the sage visually too
We are talking DRIP, SON
Disregard stats, acquire peak drippity
(personally I think the sr-25 is a really ugly gun)
base sr is indeed ugly
it can be made purdy
I'd agree there
its just a poo rsass
I saw you running that drum mag Rd the other day lol
eat one then
sad day when i died with that rd
was on a 17 streak
I just might
I have 2 ready to go and I'm planning on taking them out when I'm finally unpacking
He served you well o7
Lol
Bro got ‘leg , femur’ d
We should play soon capy. I have too many guns to burn. My stash looks as bad as the guys screens above + my weapon stand is full. Let me be your tank
What am I missing here?
I've handed in the folder and bought the key off flea and gave it to skier
not sure what I'm missing
Do I have to go back for the folder another time?
i think maybe it bugged
saw someone else have issue yestrfday
u can try finding it again tho i guess
k
I'd keep the stock of the SA-58, looks like a MOE with pad, probably on top of an ARE tube
How do you know where the mines are on streets?
Hi, I wanted to see if anyone could tell me if my PC should be able to handle the game, heres what I have
Intel Core I7-4790K
Nvidia GTX 1070
Crucial P2 3D NVMe PCIe M.2 2TB
16GB DDR3 2133MHz 😢
This might help: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/63081123
the background CPU usage was a windows update service and can be ignored
@fiery chasm around the lexos. Except the entrances, do not run around the area. if you have a map, any red zone is a mine field.
Thats a No
I don't think you'd have an enjoyable experience.
Your RAM is low speed and your CPU is fairly old.
Cpu is definitely not gonna have a fun experience trying to run tarkov
😭 it held out for so long, too attached to it now
Can always upgrade
It wont do for tarkov tho
but you need to upgrade Motherboard+CPU+RAM
gonna try run it using a friends account and see for myself, if it doesnt ill upgrade and then buy it
Maybe PSU as well
ik thats why id been holding off
Ram and cpu for sure
cpu requires a new mobo
The gpu Can do
oh thats not too bad then
yeah gpu is fine
Should have same spawn chance night and day
Sometimes names can have a gold crown next to them after I die, what does that mean?
anyone wanna help me? lvl5 😢
Gold crown means they bought The most expensive version of The game
They are only around the LEXOS fort, go to the map on the wiki, the mines are marked there.

anyone willing to help me with thte reserve bunker quest
i gotta go down there locate cotntrol room n extrtct
would help me a lots
learning the game/ tasks etc
Waste of money tbh
Depends
not a waste if u play a lot
EOD players could say waste of time/effort trying to get that .20 rep 
skull

like 5 revolver shots to kill
nah that shit does over 100 damage a shot
