[low merlin]

do it "naked", put 1xtoolset in your prison wallet, run until you repaired one, do it all over again to repair the second one. Play a raid were you extract. Done.

[carmine ice]

idk where to repair em

[low merlin]

you can start an offline raid on factory (with no bots) and just see were the quest points are. And see the wiki: https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Farming_-_Part_1 for were they are on the map

[low merlin]

#pvp-lfg

you can, but higher chance you find people in lfg

[soft tapir]

stuff the toolset in your secure container and go naked

(this is not chad advice this is just what i did)

[low merlin]

I would never go full naked, since then you get tagged and curse, the bots will chase you down. Take a Rig and Pistol

[soft tapir]

true

at most it would only cost 20k for those

Im level 16, so im not sure if anyone would be willing to play with me as id be more of a burden

[fervent raft]

id say that is terrible advice

how is he gonna stand there for 20 seconds

[restive linden]

does zryachiy

aggro u

if someone else shoots him

[fervent raft]

no

[restive linden]

killed a guy that tried to cross to lighthouse

dont wanna end up getting shot when i loot 💀

[fervent raft]

well that aggros him

was he on the bridge?

[restive linden]

no

before the bridge

[fervent raft]

oh youre good then

[restive linden]

but he shot them

[fervent raft]

doesnt matter

[restive linden]

he was at the entrance of the bridge where u usually peak to kill him

[fervent raft]

yeah lying behind the fence right

[restive linden]

yup

[fervent raft]

youre good

but he probably has a teammate then

thats gonna be on the island

like que sniped

unless hes one of those freaks that crosses the mines

[restive linden]

[fervent raft]

[restive linden]

lmao

@fervent raft bro had this

[fervent raft]

lmao thats a new one

[bold kernel]

It’s so meta.

[pearl furnace]

Put on a PACA and a WW2 helmet and do it at night. Like others said, put the toolkit in your prison pocket so that you don't lose it if you die.

The areas to fix are marked by blinking red lights; one is in the forklift bay, the other is in glass hall of death.

[torn rapids]

farming is easy

just clean the lobby

[silver crow]

best weapon for lighthouse ? Looking to just run in and out real quick

[orchid isle]

308 stuff

thtas my go to usually

or 762x39 ones

i like heavy hitting cus long range and good for wallbangs at chalet

also phsyics

can calculate where my bullet will land with the angle and velocity

[tired nest]

i just unlocked the weapon rack, how do i put guns on it? i cant figure it out

[silver crow]

just got destroyed at challet lmaoo

[tired nest]

@tiny orbit thanks

[silver crow]

thankfully the quests im doing count even if u die just gotta extract next raid

[tardy siren]

Any low / stretched res users? I've seen some clips on yt some sweatlords playing 1280x1024, I tried it and my game runs smooth as butter but I can't seem te get it somewhat sharp / smooth it's pretty fucked in the distance. Any tips ?

Yeah but fps is most important tho xd

[dawn geyser]

That goes directly against what you're doing with your resolution lol

[orchid isle]

stretch on tarkov is crazy tho

i dont liek it

[dawn geyser]

You drop resolution you're going to have a pixelated blurry picture

There's no way around that

[orchid isle]

leifern when u gonna get new pc

send me ur old one :)))

[dawn geyser]

Unless AI upscaling

[orchid isle]

i hate the dlss, makes everything so blurry

[tardy siren]

In clips I've seen game looks pretty clean for others, but tbh they only play labs in the vidoes

[orchid isle]

ill lowkey take it

:)))

[regal nest]

Does the flash drive from Getting Acquainted always spawn? I have done multiple runs checking 75% of the spawns but I still haven't found it.

[fervent raft]

its super annoying to find

[unique mantle]

yes

[fervent raft]

for labs most people just use cognac filter and everything on 100% in post fx

[unique mantle]

and does it helps ?

[fervent raft]

it just makes labs very bright

[unique mantle]

maybe i will try it, never used postfx

[fervent raft]

dont use it on other maps

its gonna be annoying

[unique mantle]

i bet

[fervent raft]

i can send you mine for grass maps

its pretty good

[unique mantle]

i like my tarkov looking like an old painting

[fervent raft]

but idk if our monitors have different settings tho

[unique mantle]

i would be happy if you would

[fervent raft]

ofc man

im just in waiting for players rn

[unique mantle]

kk

[tardy siren]

you play native res?

[mystic root]

What are your graphics settings?

[fervent raft]

yes with low fov tho

i prefer that over 4:3

[fervent raft]

i can send them after this waiting for players

but they arent great, they are set for performance

[mystic root]

K thankyou. Still tweaking with some settings. I want to boost up my FPS

[fervent raft]

mine are what had the most fps for me

you could try

[mystic root]

Ty! Will try when I get home. Is there a way to see your FPS on screen?

[fervent raft]

you got nvidia?

in that case left alt + r

[mystic root]

💪🏽

[soft tapir]

is this a decent build?

and is it still worth using PP this late into the wipe?

[dire folio]

Pens tier 5 in like 5 to 9 shots or sumtin like that

[charred mica]

if any new players need help with the game hit me up

[soft tapir]

so its better to run armour piercing? not looking for pvp

[thorny ruin]

right someone fucking explain HOW THE RAIDERS HAVE FUCKING ESP

[warm lotus]

It’s terrible lol but being a scav lessons the distance and whatever that is on you

[near obsidian]

I think he was like to the right side of the door somewhere there, and he was able to spot ur left side of body

[tidal lagoon]

yea he shot u cross map

cuz bad Ai sees through such small angles from distance

but bad position to hold too

[soft tapir]

AK 74M or AK 12

[tidal lagoon]

id probably grab a ak-12 cuz its cooler

and less modding needed afaik

[rustic void]

what is the chance of tagilla spawn?

[tardy crescent]

Less modding and a faster firerate

If you aren't modding 5.45 for meta I'd just rock the AK12

[tidal lagoon]

should be 35

[soft tapir]

ok thanks

[rustic void]

just wandering what has higher chance of spawn
tagilla or the one in reserve

[tidal lagoon]

all bosses are 35 except killa if they havent changed it recently

[rustic void]

hanx for the info

[sharp socket]

30% for killa and tagilla, 35% for all other bosses except cultists which have 15% on customs and woods, 12% on shoreline and 2% on night factory

[storm arch]

Which headphones do yall tend to use? I find that using M2s, it always sounds like the enemies are on the same level as me

[small idol]

The enemies being on the same level is an issue with the game not the headphones

M32s are my headphone of choice though

[storm arch]

It happens like every raid, it's so bad lmfao

[small idol]

Its a very common complaint amongst the community

[storm arch]

The audio is even worse than I remember it being 3 years ago lol

[small idol]

Yea

Every time they fix it they make it worse

[storm arch]

"fix"

lmfao

[small idol]

They are unironically trying really sophisticated approaches to make it super unique but it just keeps on producing dysfunctional audio

[storm arch]

They gotta just keep it basic.. game is so unenjoyable with this audio

[small idol]

They refuse to just keep it simple

Make sure u have binaural on though

Its worlds better than having it off

[tidal lagoon]

sordins or comtac4s, comtac4s, xcel are the best

[small idol]

Comtac4s are the best objectively speaking

They are expensive though

Still won't fix vert audio though bear in mind

[tidal lagoon]

nothing will

forever doomed

[small idol]

So true

[sharp socket]

Sordins are terrible dude wdym

Better than gssh, comtac2s and m32s sure

[limpid fern]

It can depend on what headphones u use irl too

[sharp socket]

But they are literally outdone by the razer headset

[sharp socket]

Someone did a test, let me see if I can find you the image with the results

[limpid fern]

I use my audio software for my artic 5s and have had the best results with m32 s

[tidal lagoon]

their range is hardly top but i like the ambient sounds

[sharp socket]

I still think it’s insane you could potentially hear a player from 91 meters away

Sure they are 70KG or more but

[tidal lagoon]

ye it is, and its even worse when u hear them cuz u think they are much closer than that actually are

[sharp socket]

Well the thing with comtac4s is unless they also have some you have heard them seconds before they ever would be able to hear you

Because basically no one uses RAC, that’s 91 to 84.5m, 90 to 84m, 77 to 67m and 71 to 60m

[crimson geyser]

what task unlocks the purchase for the vudu for 44k

[fervent raft]

it doesnt exist rn

it was an event last wipe

[crimson geyser]

damn ok

ty

[fervent raft]

np

use the gpx barter if you want the cheapest vudu rn

thats usually like 80k

[frigid finch]

hate that just the Razor and comtac 4s cost 300k together normally

[fervent raft]

the razor scope?

[frigid finch]

yea

my fav scope and headset cost 300k by themselves lol

[fervent raft]

well its 2 BIS pieces

[frigid finch]

i mean functionally there is very little difference between the vudu/razor

i just like the look of the razor more

[fervent raft]

the razor is cleaner for sure

[frigid finch]

only reason vudu is cheaper is cause it has a barter

which razor doesnt for some reason

[unreal adder]

Razor does have a barter

not a good barter

but it does have one

[fervent raft]

terrible barter

to say the least

[frigid finch]

oh yea, 5 fuel con...its so bad i forgot it existed lol

[flat moat]

can anyone help my find jeager?

[fervent raft]

#pvp-lfg or find a sherpa maybe in the sherpa hub

[frigid finch]

so is bagarly bad armor or am i just stupid

[unreal adder]

I think its fine

Just heavy as hell lol

[limpid fern]

^

[frigid finch]

oh is that the big downside to it? cause it seems really good....level 5 at ragman 3....

with a lot of slots

[limpid fern]

Run it with a light gun and light ammo

[tidal lagoon]

yea i dont like it that much only cuz of weight

[unreal adder]

I mean if you keep track, sometimes the barter gets cheap and its like 200k~?

[frigid finch]

also repairs super well

[tidal lagoon]

200k id rather run the tactec

[limpid fern]

It’s like 120

[tidal lagoon]

only used the bagarlys ive found

[limpid fern]

150

[dull gulch]

i like gzhel

[tidal lagoon]

gzhel is mid

[limpid fern]

Wut

Korund is best

[frigid finch]

i just hate that it doesnt cover stomach....i swear everytime i wear thorax armor my stomach gets obliterated

[tidal lagoon]

wild statement

[bold kernel]

Ghzel is my go to.

[tidal lagoon]

ye ik, i just eat those shots and surv12 after

[dull gulch]

it tanks alot but it doesnt repair well

[tidal lagoon]

but its annoying

[bold kernel]

What else am I supposed to use?

[dull gulch]

so its like you run it once then barter

[tidal lagoon]

korund and ghzel is lowkey ass

[unreal adder]

Ngl i still run lvl 4

[tidal lagoon]

nice entry lvl 5 tho

[unreal adder]

[frigid finch]

gzhel is expensive for something you basically cant even repair once

[bold kernel]

What else am I supposed to use then?

[unreal adder]

You can use ghzel twice max

[tidal lagoon]

better lvl 5s?

[bold kernel]

I’m asking for examples.

[tidal lagoon]

tactec

[dull gulch]

as if i could survive more than 2 raids getting shot

[bold kernel]

What the shit is that. Wiki time.

[tidal lagoon]

tactec is prolly best lvl 5 rig imo

HPC prolly the best body armor lvl 5

[unreal adder]

I'd agree

[tidal lagoon]

defender is great

[bold kernel]

No stomach.

[tidal lagoon]

fuck stomach

[frigid finch]

tactex is 260k right now

[tidal lagoon]

ye if u buy from flea

[tidal lagoon]

i forgot killa armor thats prolly the best lvl 5 really since its stomach too with insane repairability

[unreal adder]

Ya but for like accessible without farming in raid- wise

[tidal lagoon]

and lighter than HPC somehow

[unreal adder]

I remember when you could list killa armor on the flea

Those were the days

[tidal lagoon]

yea thats true for sure the barter is kinda mid tho isnt it

4 thors ig if u get them kinda cheap

[unreal adder]

Or use em and hope you ge tthem back from insurance

[frigid finch]

fuck it, just running zabralo every raid

[unreal adder]

Cus no one stealing that shit, unless i guess scavs

[tidal lagoon]

ye but ion wanna use that dogshit

[unreal adder]

Mutant stash growing

[unreal adder]

True LMAO

[tidal lagoon]

addiction at its finest

[unreal adder]

Im just yoinking them off people

[tidal lagoon]

pretty free

[frigid finch]

honestly, i struggle using 39 ammo cause the mags kinda suck for high capacity...and i die against groups without it

[fervent raft]

thats hot

[unreal adder]

I was just trying to get melee kills

and dude rolls up on me

😤

[tidal lagoon]

reload

[frigid finch]

thats when i die lol

[tidal lagoon]

that is unluckey

[rustic void]

but does this include other stuff like
walking on different material
outside
inside
death screams
crouching
etc
?

[frigid finch]

60/100 round m4 is my group killer...it is so much fun

[tidal lagoon]

normally when fighting groups they are always on one side of me so i can shoot, back off while reloading then take a new 1v1

not surrounded

[fervent raft]

yes the range does

[rustic void]

i am running sordings mostly and i like them
sometimes i can run tac sport

[bold kernel]

What hideout crafts are profitable right now for level 3 med, level 3 workbench, level 3 lavatory? Ive been checking every time I craft but im still not sure if im doing whats best

[rustic void]

the range does what?

[tidal lagoon]

workbench make m995 or m61 for usage

[sharp socket]

it is calculated on cement outside

[bold kernel]

Ok

been crafting propitol, piles of meds, and cheeses on med 3. and then grenade cases on lavatory

[fervent raft]

why the hell

did you craft cheese

[tidal lagoon]

meta?

[fervent raft]

my bad

[tidal lagoon]

😤

[bold kernel]

cuz i wanted to be a cheese dealer

[sharp socket]

why would that be meta??

[fervent raft]

oh my

[tidal lagoon]

he just said it, he the cheese deala

[unreal adder]

I mean I craft cheese to help me with cycling meds/propitol crafts

[bold kernel]

I literally thought it was funny to sell cheese so I did it

[tidal lagoon]

bro

lol

[sharp socket]

this is good

[unreal adder]

[fervent raft]

yall smoking that friday zaza

[unreal adder]

What

[bold kernel]

Jesse...we have to craft cheese

[fervent raft]

[unreal adder]

I like cheese

[tidal lagoon]

u mean the everyday zaza

[unreal adder]

[fervent raft]

true

[tidal lagoon]

u say it like u dont

[fervent raft]

i actually dont xD

[tidal lagoon]

cap

[bold kernel]

i almost bought another med case just so i can fill it w cheese and sell it all

[fervent raft]

i fall asleep instantly

it doesnt work well for me

[tidal lagoon]

how would u know that if u didnt smoke it

🤨

[fervent raft]

oh my

[unreal adder]

LMAO

[tidal lagoon]

this one right here officer 👮

[fervent raft]

ggwp

[tidal lagoon]

honestly

[frigid finch]

shit i will never use lol

[bold kernel]

relatable

[tidal lagoon]

just put them on the gun

[frigid finch]

everytime i do i die to the literal dumbest shit you can imagine

[bold kernel]

is anyone actually buying these scav vests at 25k? like what

[tidal lagoon]

i can imagine a lot of things

[frigid finch]

yea, punisher part 4

[north bear]

For Quest yes

[sharp socket]

punisher 4 and setup

[sweet ibex]

What buffer tube is needed for the CQR buttstock for Colt M4A1? I have the Colt A2, Colt Carbine, and Ar-15 RTM and none work

[wheat tree]

s there a difference between capping fps in nvidia control panel and capping it in smth like RTSS

[dull gulch]

i buy snickers and do the barter

[tidal lagoon]

none, remove the pistol grip

[sweet ibex]

Thx

[frigid finch]

counteraction is the dumbest quest ever....ive ran so much lighthouse and killed 2 bears in total

[tidal lagoon]

das why i pick bear

so i can not attempt to do the quest

[unreal adder]

At least theres no area restriction

[tidal lagoon]

real

[unreal adder]

I still cant find people for assessment

Might be time to server hop

[tidal lagoon]

what server u on

[bold kernel]

There no point of running the air filtering unit if youre not running raids at the moment right?

[unreal adder]

I have NA E/S/central

[dull gulch]

been farming zryachiy all day, glad youre not on my server

[tidal lagoon]

issue detected

[frigid finch]

i need to stop playing on west coast servers, feels like there is way more cheaters

[tidal lagoon]

ye

[unreal adder]

Prob cus i get too impatient and just leave

[tidal lagoon]

just switch to EU and u will get functional players

[frigid finch]

i wish they wouldnt let people from asia connect to west coast servers

[bold kernel]

i wish i could give the three extra graphics cards i accidentally bought to my friend lmao

[tidal lagoon]

put that shit in the farm

[bold kernel]

farm is full

[tidal lagoon]

how full

[frigid finch]

its not even worth it for me to have anymore then the base farm

[bold kernel]

every slot filled on bitcoin farm 2, prob not worth it to go for farm 3 at this point

[tidal lagoon]

just do it, its about sending a message

u are the miner ⛏️

real

[dull gulch]

you could sell your fir's no?

[limpid fern]

Korund repairs the best

[tidal lagoon]

das cap

[limpid fern]

Wut

[fervent raft]

it is

its like a bagerly or something

killa armor is the best repair t5

[tidal lagoon]

so what u are telling me is its not the best

[bold kernel]

I have none FIR bought em all

[fervent raft]

its cap

i agreed to you

[tidal lagoon]

oh

[fervent raft]

koround smells

[tidal lagoon]

guess i got outbrained this time

or maybe im just dumb

[fervent raft]

1-1

[tidal lagoon]

u just wait

it does repair pretty well tho

but its fucking shit so who cares about the repair

[fervent raft]

yes its one of the better

but killa armor

is literally left without a scratch

[dull gulch]

damn

[tidal lagoon]

yea

korund loses a lot of hp from taking fire too

honestly tho i never notice how fast armors zero

[fervent raft]

if a pst 19mm passes a koround it goes 0 man

9mm

[tidal lagoon]

real

[sweet ibex]

Is Scav Giyom a boss guard on streets with a fucking grenade launcher or something? I loaded in near Lexos and rounded the corner and got instantly head shot with something that exploded

[tidal lagoon]

yea

Kabans guard

on a mounted nade launcher

[bold kernel]

I really wish I could just give it to my friend its kinda annoying I just wanna be nice

[frigid finch]

1.3 mil for lexos closed section and marked key on streets...seems insane

[dull gulch]

both together?

[limpid fern]

pov you’ve never been to labs for fun

[bold sleet]

someone help me and my friend do these beginning tasks

[unique vault]

Hello

[bold sleet]

hello

[river rampart]

@bold kernel no memes

[frigid finch]

my poor armor is putting in work today

[woeful sedge]

I can't tell if the price is worth it (I haven't gotten it yet) I don't know if 50+ bucks is worth it. Any answers?

[unique vault]

The game?

[slim echo]

If you're planning on playing long term it's definitely worth it.

[woeful sedge]

Yes

[bold kernel]

seems correct

[thick holly]

Anything I should buy off the flea market and use it to craft and make money?

[bold kernel]

defib

sugar

[sweet ibex]

I really don't fucking understand how I get head shot by scavs within a second of being spotted. I watch people's game play all the time abd they are just standing still and scavs shoot and miss or ran away before shooting. This is the second time today I round a corner and get fucking domed in a split second before I can even react. Is there a skill or something that makes them take longer to react that I need to build?

[tidal lagoon]

try to clip it next time

[edgy plover]

Just happens. Twice in a day is pretty normal

Scavs are cracked

[frigid finch]

you need to get it down that unless you are going to shoot them before they shoot at you, you need to sprint to cover

[sweet ibex]

It's only been two runs on my pmc she far. Both times I turn the corner head shot almost instantly

[sweet ibex]

No chance to get to cover. I turn a corner and get head shot like my dudes head is a 5 gallon bucket

[edgy plover]

Stop having a large head

Duh

[median shale]

It is a 5 gallon bucket.

Wear a better helmet and upgrade vitality

[frigid finch]

unless its a rogue/boss, its rarely going to be that dramatic, you are new, i guarantee you there is something obvious you are doing that if you clip, people will be able to point it out to you

[median shale]

Skill dif honestly tho

[tidal lagoon]

agree with what lassiie said, i cant recall a time a normal AI scav has done that too me other than when I was starting out

[frigid finch]

literally everytime i die to a scav its because i try to have a gunfight outside of cover, or whiff my headshot and try to get another shot in lol

[river tusk]

what does it means?

[sweet ibex]

It would be nice if I at least lost the gun fight. I heard the dude yell and bang; head shot.

[tidal lagoon]

idk what it says but its just a tag from the guy who had it before u made

[frigid finch]

yea, there are a lot of idiosyncracies to this game that you have to learn, and will take hundreds of hours to get down

[tidal lagoon]

probably just to easily know which mag has what ammo

[frigid finch]

but for most npc deaths, they can be avoided

[tame current]

WHY DOES SHORELINE EXIST WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

SHIT ASS MAP, NOTHING HAPPENS UNTIL SOMEONE SNIPES YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO DO A GODDAMN IDIOTIC QUEST

[woven siren]

just go resort

so you can die to a 5 stack instead

[fringe jay]

fun

[tame current]

going resort makes sense only if you are an ultra giga sweat and even then IT FUCKING SUCKS. Dorms is superior in every single way except loot, but if I want loot I just fuck off to reserve

[woven siren]

not really you can beat sweats with good positioning

[tame current]

keep in mind that someone can always hide on the roof

wait

and shoot you in the back

[frigid finch]

shoreline is an ass map, i agree...either nothing happens for multiple raids or you get sniped for no reason at all

i killed sanitar at cottages, and his whole crew, was sniped within seconds of leaving

[tame current]

the other maps are fine and unique, but shoreline??

fuck it rant over

gonna scav to cool down

[frigid finch]

were you doing nights? ive found that to be much more tolerable

[woven siren]

shoreline be anoying af

[tidal lagoon]

shoreline is just too much open area where nothing happens, other than that its cool

[woven siren]

when i play nights i run into 4+ stacks in resort

[tame current]

can confirm

[frigid finch]

i just meant for general questing outside of resorts

[woven siren]

i have one where i killed 4 and died to a phantom 5th man

for questing night is best on all maps

other than interchange, its a shit show all the time

[frigid finch]

thats cause night doesnt exist there lol

[woven siren]

lmao

i love dropping cocky squads

[frigid finch]

im doing nights streets...have killed two duos 40-50 and a level 59 while questing lol

now im just doing my obligatory marked key runs

since i spent like 800k on it lol

[charred mica]

If any new pleyers need some help shoot me a dm 7k+hours

[frigid finch]

not a bad marked key on streets

[tidal lagoon]

put it on

[frigid finch]

wouldnt have a rig if i did

[tidal lagoon]

thats fine u can manually reload

[frigid finch]

had to do the kilmov extract quest as well, was terrified it was going to glitch out on me

up to 7 raids surived in a row...my best this wipe so far is 8

ok, well i just fucked up lol....i just bought 25k euros instead of dollars....anyway to easily change them out

[tidal lagoon]

haha, no ure fucked

at least u can buy solar now

[frigid finch]

dude i swear i clicked on peacekeeper

[charred mica]

If any new players need some help shoot me a dm 7k+hours+have a crew that can help with quests ect!

[frigid finch]

ill most likely never find the converter lol

[frigid finch]

also halfway to the 50k euros for mentor lol

[tidal lagoon]

mentor scam af

[frigid finch]

yea but it annoys me to see it sitting there lol

[fervent raft]

dude

why do mentor

you dont need it this wipe

[frigid finch]

cause im an idiot and bought 25k euros accidentally lol

[fervent raft]

spend it on item cases or smth

mentor is useless this wipe

[frigid finch]

why?

[fervent raft]

you get the sniper levels from quests

[frigid finch]

what quests? im still at level 1 lol

[fervent raft]

this is without mentor

i mean the first 3 levels you gotta get manuall

y

by reloading a mosin and killing scavs with it

[frigid finch]

oh yea im never gonna do that lol

ill prolly just try to get that converter

how rare is it?

[jagged laurel]

Not rare

Run labs you will get it

[frigid finch]

i hate labs

[jagged laurel]

Then you won’t get it

[frigid finch]

is it a 2x2 item?

[jagged laurel]

Yes

[frigid finch]

will just run cheap loadouts then and try to find it

[frigid finch]

[ivory sable]

what is the cheapest barter for weapon case?

[frigid finch]

[fringe jay]

the mechanic trade for tech items

[primal flame]

What does Tetris cost on flea

[ivory sable]

https://tarkov-market.com/

79k

[frigid finch]

labs is so filled with cheaters its insane

[tidal lagoon]

depending on how you think, pistol case barter

if you use the fuel the fuel is free

so only pistol cases cost

[frigid finch]

done 7 raids of labs, havent found either converter yet

[primal flame]

That’s it I thought it was worth way more

[fervent raft]

do you look the right spots?

[frigid finch]

i mean basically every valuable spawn that doesnt require a keycard

[fervent raft]

then you are

just bad luck then i guess

they are quite common

[primal flame]

Do you need tetris needed for anything in the hideout

Like rest station I saw a pic of one it had like shelves and shit with stuff on then

[fringe jay]

no you can trade for a bitcoin but thats it

[primal flame]

is that worth it tho

I can’t find tnt on flea is it becuase I Not level 15

[fervent raft]

just sell tetris

[primal flame]

cant find the TP-200 TNT brick on the flea

[fervent raft]

just type tnt

[frigid finch]

hes not 15

it wont show up at all

[primal flame]

ok

got to go grind lol

i need tnt

for level 2 security

[primal flame]

ok

[fringe jay]

well you need 2 tetriz and 2 GreenBats so

depends on how much the bitcoin goes for rn

[primal flame]

[primal flame]

Ima sell it

[latent quarry]

anyone want to help me complete Operation Aquarius - Part 1

[calm zealot]

Did you complete it yet?

[unreal adder]

Check spam, check email entered, give it a minute

[latent quarry]

No

[digital trout]

is recoil completely random or can u learn the recoil patterns

[pearl palm]

random, just pull down
only exception i can think of is ppsh which makes u pull down and go the right(?)

[plain pewter]

what counts as a beginner?

[formal mist]

Someone help with prapor’s checking mission

And mechanic’s gunsmith pt1

[plain pewter]

i can help with gunsmith 1, i'm having issues with gunsmith 15 xD

what''re you having issues with @formal mist

[formal mist]

I cant find the right stuff to make the mp133

[plain pewter]

I'm assuming you're having issues with the muzzle break or the plastic forestock?

[shell shadow]

The gk-02 is hard to find early game if nobody hands it to you. Your best bet is finding it on a scav's shotgun or in a crate

[formal mist]

Every. single. thing. All i has it the gun itself

Tf is a gk02

[shell shadow]

Muzzle brake

[plain pewter]

ok so, the rest of the gear you can buy from loyalty level 1 traders

you'll need to do a task on woods to unlock Jaeger and be able to buy from him

[shell shadow]

@formal mist If you google "gunsmith part 1" you'll find hella guides. I've used a guide for all my gunsmith quests

[plain pewter]

I like to use the wiki

but yeah

[formal mist]

I no has jaege

[pearl palm]

anyone who thinks they are one

[formal mist]

I keep getting bad slawns

[plain pewter]

that's fine, you're really early on. Woods is hard to learn because there's not as many landmarks and it's hard to navigate

[shell shadow]

Woods without a compass is hell

[plain pewter]

Skier sells teh ncstar laser module you need and the rk-6 tactical foregrip, but you can't add them to the gun without the forestock. You can trade with mechanic for the MP-133 custom plastic forestock with rails, he trades it for a hard drive

so if you go to any other maps and like them, just check some desktop PCs

[latent quarry]

anyone want to help me do Mechanic Introduction quest or Operation Aquarius - Part 1

[shell shadow]

Are you EU?

[latent quarry]

No

[plain pewter]

can anyone tell me what i'm missing for Mechanic - Part 15

[latent quarry]

US

[shell shadow]

Think it's wrong laser

[unreal adder]

Ya you need AN/PEQ 15

[plain pewter]

CRAP YOU'RE RIGHT

[pearl palm]

learn the landmarks
huge mountain and river to the north, use that as ur north star
mines to the west, factory to the east, lake/lumbermill to the south

[plain pewter]

thanks guys

i spent like 10 minutes staring at it

[shell shadow]

I can find my way around now, but it used to be a real struggle.

[pearl palm]

was for me too
my first raid ever i accidentally went woods night and just walked into mines

[plain pewter]

lmao first time i went woods i got lost and starved to death xD

[formal mist]

Map

[formal mist]

I was LIA

[shell shadow]

It's pretty difficult distinguishing which of the 5000 trees you're standing by.

[formal mist]

Rok

[shell shadow]

rok

[formal mist]

Or road

Or plane

Or water

Or

Enemy uav destr

Oyed

[shell shadow]

Still takes way more time making your way through the map than other maps unless you've played it a bunch

[formal mist]

Yeah

I ned help with the usec map

[unique vault]

There needs to be. "intermediate/advanced" help. Because the quests in the mid-late game are hard lol

[latent quarry]

about to go into woods for Jaeger camp if anyone wants to join

[shell shadow]

I would but I will probably get kicked for high ping on NA lol

[latent quarry]

Yeah youre good I understand

[shell shadow]

I need to get this done

;-;

[formal mist]

Ez

Can i has mk18 when u done wit it pls

[near musk]

Is there a reason why tarkov only using my 4th core 100% and rest are 20-30%?

Is that normal?

[formal mist]

What

You can choose cores

[near musk]

how?

[shell shadow]

mmmmno

[formal mist]

):

[near musk]

Is it an out of game setting?

The only thing I can think of is the phyical core thing but that makes no difference for me

[pearl palm]

games not optimized to use a lot of cores

so it chooses the best core

[near musk]

can anything be done to help it or?

[pearl palm]

nah not really

[near musk]

pain

[pearl palm]

u can overclock

[near musk]

can't

[pearl palm]

u can try undervolting

[near musk]

intel has software for it i assume?

[pearl palm]

yea

fuck its been so long since ive had an intel cpu i forgot what the tools were called

[near musk]

damn

[pearl palm]

intel XTU is the standard intel one

theres another one that i used that was like red somethign or other

either way, just a disclaimer
undervolting can mess with ur cpu
nowhere near as bad as overclockig mind you, but still, should throw that out there

[woeful sedge]

What faction should I join? (Just got the game)

[pearl palm]

at the moment, usec is better

[woeful sedge]

Can you change?

[pearl palm]

no

[woeful sedge]

Whats the difference between factions?

[near musk]

I have a I7-12700H and it runs like wack

RTX 3070Ti

[woeful sedge]

K, thanks

[pearl palm]

starting gear (not super relevant since u can buy stuff)
rogues on lighthouse are constantly aggrod onto bears, theyll leave usecs alone for a while

[near musk]

go under 60 on customs.

[pearl palm]

laptops make great use of undervolting, since laptops main bottleneck is cooling

[woeful sedge]

So, seeing as I just launched the game for the first time, I should pick USEC?

[near musk]

what exactly does undervolting do?

Is it generally safe?

ahh i just watch a video

[pearl palm]

dont need to mess with BIOS for undervolting

its purely through XTU

[pearl palm]

reduces the voltage, reduces heat
allows ur cpu to run faster

[woeful sedge]

So I should pick USEC?

[pearl palm]

generally yes

[near musk]

thanks

[woeful sedge]

K, thanks!

[pearl palm]

ive used XTU ( and other undervolting tools) plenty on laptops
it works fine

its overclocking thats locked down, not undervolting

[woeful sedge]

For my first few rounds, should I be my Main or a Scav

[pearl palm]

is it your very very first raid?

[woeful sedge]

Yeah

[pearl palm]

pick a map (customs or woods for new players)
and play a few offline

once u get familiar with the extracts, you can go in as ur PMC

[woeful sedge]

But play Scav first?

[viral prawn]

You can always join a group in the Begginer Asstistance LFG channels (25 of them) below community Voice

[pearl palm]

nah do offline PMC

[viral prawn]

it's your call, some people like to scav first to warm up / familiarize themselves, others dive right into PMC

[pearl palm]

for a first time player, id do offlines first

[viral prawn]

if your brand brand new, offline raids aren't a bad shout

[pearl palm]

but like they said, entirely up to u

[woeful sedge]

If im SCAV nothing gets brought in correct?

[viral prawn]

you make zero progress in offline raids, but you get everything backs, meds/ammo used included

Correct, scav gear is GIVEN to you

[woeful sedge]

K

[viral prawn]

whatever you make it OUT with you keep

[woeful sedge]

Im going to try scav

[viral prawn]

but a death costs nothing but your scav cooldown timer (Starts at 20 minutes)

on your scav, don't shoot other scavs

[woeful sedge]

Idk, I play tabor

[viral prawn]

basically until you take damage, don't shoot back

[woeful sedge]

I get the idea

[pearl palm]

you have no risk, but also less gain
dont get xp on scav for instance, cant do a lot of quests either

[woeful sedge]

Alright, thanks guys!

[viral prawn]

Can only do "Pickup X item found in raid" but not location based quest items, like documents / notes ect

[pearl palm]

id generally recommend people just only play PMC to level up and unlock better and better traders
with scav runs for when ur really low on money

[viral prawn]

but like, if you have a quest to find 3 screws, you can find them on your scav, and that works

[pearl palm]

yep
but also u dont level strength and endurance, which are pretty important and already hard to level

[viral prawn]

Time based leveling, hard, not so much, its like 560 raids without the air-filter thing, 300 with

[hardy fox]

can i chill with bosses or does it have past 6 rep?

[honest hatch]

whats good for a budget build?

[bold kernel]

atp

[honest hatch]

is losing like 20 30 ergo worse than losing 5 vertical recoil?

[pearl palm]

depends on how much ergo u have already

50->20 ergo is brutal

80->50 and 12->0 isnt so bad

[viral prawn]

you can chill now, effects take place on whole numbers

[honest hatch]

i have 70 ergo and 48 V recoil

[woeful sedge]

Why is my scav on cooldown?

[viral prawn]

you can only run a scav once per 20 minutes, so that players don't only scav, as your scav rep goes up timer goes down, and the opposite is true

[woeful sedge]

Ah, also, how do I tell if a player is a fellow USEC?

[viral prawn]

Clothing, voicelines

[woeful sedge]

Or does it not matter?

Oh

[viral prawn]

if you kill a scav as a scav you'll lose rep

[woeful sedge]

What happens if I kill a bear as a bear?

[viral prawn]

thats fine

[woeful sedge]

or a usec as a usec

oh

[viral prawn]

on PMC ANYTHING you don't load in with is KOS

[woeful sedge]

If Im sniping how can you tell /:

[viral prawn]

sniping on a scav?

[woeful sedge]

Whats KOS

[viral prawn]

Kill on sight

[slow trench]

what's the best edition to buy?

[woeful sedge]

So everyone kills fellow bears and USEC, thats a normal thing?

[viral prawn]

^

if it's not your teammate, it's hostile

[woeful sedge]

so thats a yes

[woeful sedge]

If hes not in my party, kill him, got it.

[viral prawn]

starter edition, see if you like it, then upgrade as you see fit

as a scav, theoretically any scav, plus the bosses are your allies, but not rouges / raiders or Cultists

but other player scavs will sometimes shoot you anyways

if they HURT YOU they are a "hostile scav" and you get rewarded with extra rep for killing them

[slow trench]

do i only pay the deference if i wanna upgrade or is it full price

[viral prawn]

but if they fire near you, and you shoot them FIRST, you loose rep

Difference

[slow trench]

dubs

[spare robin]

Do you lose things in your "SPEC" slots as PMC when dying?

[bold kernel]

no

[spare robin]

Oh, so, getting a compass for one of those slots is an permanent upgrade...

[pearl palm]

only drawback is weight

[honest hatch]

which stock reduces the recoil the most?

[pearl palm]

altho i guess u could say it takes up a slot that couldve been taken up by somethign else like a marker

[honest hatch]

other than cost

[pearl palm]

ARE+PRS Gen3

[honest hatch]

what brings it down the most

alr cool thx

[pearl palm]

the classic meta combo is ARE + MOE + buttpad tho

slightly higher recoil, but a lot more ergo

[honest hatch]

what abt for the muzzle

what can bring down my rcoil by more lol

[bold kernel]

depends on caliber

[honest hatch]

also do i need more ergo if i have 70 ergo alraedy?

[honest hatch]

my gun is M4A1 5.56x45

[bold kernel]

saker suppressor

[honest hatch]

how do i get that

which

converter or sumn

adapter

[bold kernel]

saker asr muzzle brake

if you can't

use the ultra 5

[honest hatch]

i dont see any

oh i foudn the saker

[orchid isle]

Don't build meta guns without max traders. You'll just be wasting money on some overpriced flea market prices

[honest hatch]

oh ok

[woeful sedge]

Should load times take 4 - 5 minutes to get into a game?

[frigid finch]

so does friday just bring out all the cheaters? twice in a row, killed by obvious cheaters, once on lighthouse, once on streets

[tulip kettle]

this game is honestly crazy bro

i got extract camped by TRIO at d-2

🤓

[bold kernel]

yes

[woeful sedge]

k thanks

[near musk]

Which path should I take for chemical part 4?

[fast sparrow]

u mean choice for submission? Therapist, injector case is like what? 600k plus?

[near musk]

👍

[woeful sedge]

Whats the best way to get someone to play with you if your new.

[high crescent]

beg and start crying

photoshop a different level on to your pmc

[woeful sedge]

[high crescent]

hey

check dms

[languid owl]

uh huh

[pearl palm]

0% chance to jam at 95%+ im pretty sure
sounds like u spammed it until it overheated

[soft tapir]

yeah i think it overheated

[pearl palm]

be more conservative after the first mag (45ish rounds)

overheats are a death sentence

[soft tapir]

yeah

also whenever i play an offline raid

sometimes the bots dont spawn at all

[grand cosmos]

should i sell it or keep it?

[languid owl]

best helmet in the game

keep it

[grand cosmos]

ok thx

[pearl palm]

its usefulness is debatable

imo, id just sell it

[orchid isle]

Impossible to jam at 100 dura :)

[pearl palm]

its lvl 3 armor class, same as the FS on stuff like fast MT
but its very expensive

[orchid isle]

No hearing too

[pearl palm]

oh fuck
did they change that? i swear u could go ears + ronin

[grand cosmos]

idk im new to the game and just found it

i cant hear shit with it tho

[pearl palm]

ok yea, if u cant wear ears with it its garbage

ears > helmet

[grand cosmos]

im still tryna understand the gear concept

[grand cosmos]

facts

[grand cosmos]

ty btw

[pearl palm]

no worries brother
happy to help, i got plenty of help when i started

just passing it along

[grand cosmos]

you having lags on streets also? or its just me?

cuz I have 3070ti with i7-13700F 32gb pc and im having hella drop fps

[pearl palm]

yes

3070ti 5600x 16gb

[feral adder]

are there a lot of cheaters in this game?

[pearl palm]

streets is unreasonable to run

[grand cosmos]

yeah, even tho im new I caught a few

[pearl palm]

more than other games yea
but avoidable if u avoid labs/shoreline

[feral adder]

idk if i found a cheater

[pearl palm]

unfortunatel shoreline is a vital midgame map

[grand cosmos]

bruh

op loot tho

[pearl palm]

true

its a great map ngl, fun to play

[feral adder]

but he swung a corner and i didnt make a single sound he 1 tapped me with a kedr

[grand cosmos]

hella laggy tho

[pearl palm]

but i cant run it well enough to stomach playing it

[feral adder]

i was raating

[grand cosmos]

thats the sad part

[feral adder]

that screams cheater to me

[grand cosmos]

just report the guy, eventually he will get banned

[feral adder]

yuh

[pearl palm]

cheater calls are always very doubtful, tarkovs such a high stakes game, 1 lucky headshot = won engagement

unless they hit you in the face 19 shots in a row with an altyn 💀

[feral adder]

hwe didnt evenm check the other corners

he just turned through the doorway at me

and 1 tapped

still possible he was lucky

but im doubtful

[pearl palm]

thats the thing with tarkov
its entirely possible that he panic point fired and just domed u

we wonet ever know for sure without killcams/replays unfortunately

[feral adder]

YO

HES CALLING YOU OUT BATTLESTATE

but yea

they need killcams

[pearl palm]

D:

maybe not killcams
but raid replays yes

[feral adder]

either or

[pearl palm]

killcams would aid groups too much
1 gets picked off, watches kill cams and calls out position

after raid replays would be great

[feral adder]

makes more sense for replays

yes

[pearl palm]

itd be great
sometimes u run into a player whos wheezing with 6 dead bodies around
i just wanna know what the fuck happened

[feral adder]

LMAO

[tulip kettle]

is ragman the only one that sells big backpacks?

[pearl palm]

pretty much yea

peacekeeper sells daypacks, which i think are the most efficient weight/space packs early

other packs u gotta craft or get off ragman

bros got a monopoly frfr

[viral prawn]

893k worth if i sell all, another good streets

[steel grove]

Not having the rig in ur bag horizontal has to be classified as a warcrime

[pearl palm]

bro named his mag mid scav raid

[prisma jackal]

lvl 33 EU 800+ hours, would like a buddy for some fun raids and maybe even teach me a thing or two

[wanton current]

this random white box appeared on my tarkov screen and i dont know how to fix it (it appeared when i treid to loot a rogue ak)

[reef sequoia]

I'm bored af right now

lets go

I got 300h I will teach you how to play

[dry flint]

bruh, where are the scavs and raiders when im doing reserve quests(pest control and no place for renegades). im not seeing any spawn where i need to

[reef sequoia]

kill every scav on the map except barracks

or just reset

so far best way I found

[dry flint]

thats literally the opposite of what i need to do lol

scavs dont spawn anywhere near

and dont even get me started in the underground in train station

[reef sequoia]

yeah

but if they all die everywhere else

they will only spawn where you aren't

and that's barracks

[reef sequoia]

out of memory?

[unkempt yew]

can I buy an elcan from the flee market at level 15

[reef sequoia]

you don't need permision

[unkempt yew]

idk cuz sometimes stuffs are locked behind

pretty sucks

[vocal mauve]

Where did you guys find bear plushie for kappa?

I cant seem to find one

[fleet swift]

Duffels on reserve

[reef sequoia]

labs

[regal nest]

What is the best way to use dogtags?

[dry flint]

rsass barter

[orchid isle]

A lot of barters pressed required search

I usually keep em all bc it’s like a trophy and don’t rlly need the money

[dull pasture]

store them for swag

[soft tapir]

i have noticed that i still have some amount of gear fear

probably because of the unstable servers, cheaters, and being so far behind in terms of quest

[mental grove]

which maps have raiders?

[novel epoch]

anyone know how l can do/fix this?

[dry flint]

labs and sometimes reserve have spawns but arent guaranteed. lighthouse has rogues

[unkempt egret]

It's on a timer, you can upgrade it gradualy later on.
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Hideout

[quiet canopy]

I really really do need help to get corporate secrets done. The task from mechanic where I do need to get the sheets in lighthouse where the rogues are. Can someone please help me with that? I do struggle a lot against rogues even after watching so many tutorial videos how to kill them. But it doesnt seem like it is that easy as it is shown in the videos

[bold kernel]

take either path 1 or 2

[bold kernel]

path 1 is just getting inside

2 is killing them

[soft tapir]

i got beamed by an svt

in factory

i keep dying with good weapons and armour

but i keep finishing my quests with the worst guns and worst armour

[shrewd fog]

that is tarkov summarized perfectly ^ @soft tapir

[soft tapir]

is it possible to quest on streets with 20 fps at 1080p w/ FSR or should i just give up until i upgrade my pc

[umbral wedge]

i have 30-35 fps on streets and its actually unplayable i gave up until i upgrade but you dont necessarily have to do streets quest line

but if you do it on 20 fps all power to you

[shy pivot]

Anyone know whats up with money dissapearing from DOCS case? I put money into it and then it seems to dissapear. I've had it happen with 2 DOCS cases.

So I should just add money to my DOCS case every raid?

For the car extracts to gain Fence rep when possible

Gotcha thanks for the info

[hearty sand]

Can I just sort out the shit I don't have available to me (greyed out)?
https://i.imgur.com/kdYoMAi.jpg

[bold kernel]

press the price filter once

so its from cheapest to most expensive

cheapest ones should be locked

[worldly pawn]

Doesn't fence usually give scav quests

so am I supposed to kill scavs as a scav?

[tidal lagoon]

that is a scav quest

its just that scav quests are fucking dumb and make u kill other scavs for some reason

what u need to do to complete the quest is find a traitor scav and kill him and that way u wont lose rep

[soft tapir]

whats the point of fence quests anyway

[orchid isle]

U can only do that as a Scav, that one’s lowkey worth

[fervent raft]

nothing at all

[orchid isle]

Bait little timmies

[pallid birch]

whens next wipe

[tidal lagoon]

december

[spare robin]

Are their sightlines THIS LONG???

Holy

[bold kernel]

yes

[spare robin]

That's so imbalanced for AI omg

[bold kernel]

as the game is

[tidal lagoon]

tarkov AI is unbalanced because the ai itself is dogshit so they compensate by makign them broken because if they arent then they are just dogshit easy to kill AI

[bold kernel]

i mean

ai is supposed to act like actual humans

in tarkov

as realistic as possible they said

[spare robin]

I don't want that, actually

Like, no

I don't want to be dying to AI constantly

[storm lava]

wait this is goated

[bold kernel]

theyre not supposed to be totally braindead

[tidal lagoon]

theyve had some nice improvements like AI lean peaking

[spare robin]

Not what I said

[bold kernel]

but theyre still kinda superhuman

i agree

[tidal lagoon]

lean peaking is one of the only thins thatve made me actually question if im fighting a player scav or AI scav

[bold kernel]

yea

or scavs spamming lean

[tidal lagoon]

yea

[bold kernel]

but thats in the game for ages

[fervent raft]

or the dolphin dive

ive been dolphin dived on by killa

[tidal lagoon]

bro

bring back dolphin diving

[fervent raft]

lmao

it was one of the moves ever

[bold kernel]

its gonna bring back the dolphinwalk then too

as in cheaters

[tidal lagoon]

thats fine i barely meet them anyways
