If you dont Care about helmets

wispy wigeon
#

I get shot in the head so much i have to run a good helmet lol

#

even the damn scavs like to head, eyes me

#

so i run a faceshield too to help prevent that as much as possible

weak mirage
#

Yeah same for me But i get saved by a helmet so rare that i stopped caring

wispy wigeon
#

that's true

#

the faceshield really only helps occasionally against scavs, but i'm usually sneaky enough to get the drop on PMCs

weak mirage
#

Yeah its only the t5 faceshields that really saves from pmcs

wispy wigeon
#

imma try the xcels though too. i haven't worn those yet

#

Yeah, even then the mfers just slap through it

weak mirage
#

They are great too

wispy wigeon
#

I did have a nice scare though with a helmet i scooped off of a dead dude haha. got shot in the face and the crack scared the fuck out of me hahaha

#

lived that shot, but died immediately after

weak mirage
#

It feels good when The helmet actually saves

wispy wigeon
#

laughed all the way to the stash

#

wish i could remember what it was that i bounced. it didn't give a shit about my body armor lol

inland whale
#

I need help lol

#

Got the game yesterday and can’t stop dying

wispy wigeon
#

Are you dying to gunshot wounds? Dehydration? Hunger? This game has a huge learning curve.

#

The best thing to do is pull up a map on another screen (phone, 2nd monitor, etc) and run scavs to learn where loot is, PMC/Scav spawns are, and where extracts are.

brittle tendon
wispy wigeon
#

Remember, as a PMC, almost everything will hate you. As a Scav, only some scavs will hate you, and most PMCs will if you can't voip and become friends lol. Most PMCs will still kill you after voip, but not all. Best options as a PMC are shoot everything most of the time. Best option as a scav is only trust the ai scavs (not raiders or bosses, they hate you too).

inland whale
#

Thanks

wispy wigeon
#

even your own party will hate you sometimes when they don't realize it's you lol

wind fossil
#

Aint no way people just memorize the maps and extracts - wtf was the devs thinking

#

i have 10 hours in the game and i still have no clue where to go

#

am i supposed to spend 20 hours in practice mode?

tidal lagoon
wind fossil
#

thats a bit lazy by the devs

tidal lagoon
#

when starting out use external maps to navigate

#

from the wiki for example

wind fossil
#

im trying but theres no landmarks

tidal lagoon
#

wdym

clever knoll
wind fossil
#

guess ill just sink 50 hours into dying and learning nothing

#

until i get something that just closely resembles information

clever knoll
solid birch
#

use scav, load in, look what exits available and try to make ur way to it with map open on ur browser

#

at least how i started learning customs

#

die 99% of the time but its cool maybe i can kill a player sometimes

clever knoll
#

That's also a way to do it yeah

wind fossil
#

problem is theres no inficators of north

clever knoll
#

I had more success learning in offline tho

wind fossil
#

no north and no landmarks

clever knoll
#

Jaeger ll1 sells a compass

#

And there's plenty of landmarks to look for

wind fossil
#

gota unlock jeager then lol

clever knoll
#

On woods, look for the lake or the big rock

#

That's your landmarks

#

Im assuming you're trying to learn woods or customs, no?

fervent raft
#

that is troll mate

wind fossil
#

theres landmarks in the game

fervent raft
#

gimme a second

#

this is woods for example

#

you have to be trolling if you cant see any landmarks there

wind fossil
#

thats a nice map, where did you find it?

#

i use the wiki ones and theyre drawn in paint lol

fervent raft
#

googled woods map tarkov

#

this site usually have a variety of maps

wind fossil
#

thanks alot

fervent raft
#

no problem

#

idk why they arent always in true north orientation

#

but youll be able to figure it out hopefully

violet badger
#

@clever knoll da hell are those links LOL also isnt compass useless as hell

fervent raft
keen fossil
#

Nah all maps are upside down in game

#

like I’m pretty sure compass on woods points to the lake

Any mature new players want some help from an experienced player? I'm bored and down to run anything, I just need to host on texas servers cuz my web is shit

Did I send a wrong link? I dont remember the mapgenie URL off the top of my head and I'm on mobile

violet badger
#

LMAO

clever knoll
#

OH

#

Idk I think they're funny

#

I thought you were just trying to start beef or something lmao

#

Also yeah, compass is pretty useless but the guy I was helping mentioned it so I gave an answer

#

Alright I’ll try that. Thanks

honest hatch
#

What headset is the besT? im looking at this reddit post that says comtac 4s are the best but im seeing some comments that say like comtac 4s sometimes like suppresses footsteps

clever knoll
#

here's a spreasheet with all the stats that i've been using

honest hatch
#

this was the post i was looking at

clever knoll
#

i believe that chart is outdated, headsets (and hearing range) recieved a huge change recently

honest hatch
#

ah

#

i see

clever knoll
#

they are now a straight upgrade, instead of being just an EQ like before. I won't form an opinion on whether this is good or bad, but that's how it works currently

honest hatch
#

what do ulike to use

clever knoll
#

I use whatever I have in my stash tbh, but when i have to buy one, I go with M32 at low level traders

small bison
#

i need help in streets im lost

honest hatch
clever knoll
#

honestly use the top 3 if you can afford it, other than that it's not a big difference

honest hatch
#

oops i meant tac sport lol

clever knoll
#

it's also still kinda preference, see what works for you

#

for example i know people that love the gssh, i personally hate it

honest hatch
#

its very loud but very cheap

#

i dont like it either

clever knoll
#

i've been running tac sport headsets, mostly because i have too many of them

#

tl:dr, use whatever you have in stash, if there's nothing, buy M32 or Tac Sport on a budget. Comtac 4 is statistically the best

honest hatch
#

i see

#

so i would just buy a headset if i have like absolutely none

clever knoll
#

yeah

honest hatch
#

abt the rac whenever i use it i feel like everything is muffled but it seems like one of the best headsets

clever knoll
#

i would honestly go into raid with no armor but a headset, instead of no headset with armor

#

that's how important it is

#

honestly just try them all and see what works for you

honest hatch
#

👍

sharp socket
#

I personally would go ears with the mandible but that’s only because it allows for the slapp plate

#

The ears are also very limiting on what headsets you can wear, you can only put on m32, xcel and comtac4 I think

safe veldt
#

IF SOME ONE IS FORCEING 3 MAN AND 4 MAN IN FACTORY WHEN ITS ONLY TO SERV ONLIN WTH PEP

#

HOW DO I FIND SOME ONE TO PLAYWITH

honest hatch
#

oops i meant

sharp socket
honest hatch
#

if i could should i run other headsets or is rac pretty good

sharp socket
#

RAC is second best

honest hatch
#

so i should run the rac over like the xcel

sharp socket
#

But you lose out on ear and jaw protection on the helmet

#

Which can be a life saver against buckshot scavs and has even reflected some big bullets

#

It’s a trade off really

honest hatch
#

yea well other than protection

sharp socket
#

RAC is marginally better than XCELs

#

But still is nowhere near as good as comtac4s

honest hatch
#

so its just whatver i have basically

sharp socket
#

Yeah basically, slightly better hearing or better protection

Hi all, quite newish to the game (about a month in) and have been playing as duos on customs. I'm looking to try out soloing on customs as its a map I'm semi familiar with, however I seem to get gibbed a ton while roaming 1 area to another.

Anyone got any good advice or tips to roam the map solo as I feel like I have no awareness 😂

sharp socket
#

So where do you typically go when you load in?

#

Do you rush dorms or fortress or just go to wherever that’s closest

tame pulsar
#

I'm still changing gun wise but mostly trying to run an sks with the basic marksman scope and t3 gear. Currently it's been doing BP trucks for the tagging but when getting to areas like gas station I seem to get 1 tapped when making an attempt to tag

#

But obviously I'm just looking to try and get better solo as I've spent too long doing duos and it's a whole different game I'm noticing with a second pair of eyes 😂

sharp socket
#

It certainly is

#

For BP depot honestly if your struggling bad with it try and potentially wait out the instant rush of the match, the one at pocket watch is always gonna have some traffic due to the area being a common going through area to other places but the other places should be fairly quiet a couple minutes after match start

#

Solo is gonna require you to be a lot more conscious about your placement, it’s not required by any means but it’s a good idea to know roughly where other players spawn in a match just so you can keep an eye on where your foes are likely to come from

clever knoll
#

if you're playing solo it's also really important to play off sound cues

#

anything you hear is an enemy

tame pulsar
#

Yeah I'm always fidgety in duos when hearing anything move😂, I think its just getting use to audio distance as sounds from other shooters that you would expect to be close are miles away and it throws me a little bit

clever knoll
#

that's just tarkov audio being tarkov audio

#

distance is really hard to judge

tame pulsar
#

Cheers for the help anyways @clever knoll @sharp socket I'll take a slower approach to this mission and hopefully I don't get caught off too much for the long run

clever knoll
#

one more thing for customs from one sks player to another, use the DT Cobra for customs. the PSO is way more expensive and not really worth it for a mid-short range map like customs

#

you're way better off with a good 1x optic

#

this is honestly not a bad thing you can run if you wanna use the sks

#

if you find a supressor (or even without), this build isnt half bad either with LL1 traders

prime comet
#

Nope

#

You don’t gain or lose anything apart from practice/knowledge

clever knoll
#

exactly

#

you can even just leave offline raids without punishment

Hello! Does anyone want to help a newbie out? I still need to learn mechanics such as maps and guns. I would appreciate it if you pinged, DM'd or joined me in the LFG VC. I would rather play with someone experienced as they can teach me more

Thank you for reading my message and goodbye!

Your message is better than mine 😄

Doesn't matter with sniping skills, if you get outplayed 💪😄

honest hatch
#

what traders should i be leveling up

#

to LL 3 for now

#

i have prapor and therapist at LL 3 alraedy

#

and ive just been doing everyones quests but im stuck now so i just wanna see who i should get first so i can like focus on that person and then another trader after

solid topaz
#

Prapor and Ragman 3 is most important

honest hatch
#

i think i heard peacekeeper 3 is also good

austere hound
#

Yeah it is

sharp socket
#

Honestly just continue trying to level whatever is closest, pk3 opens up most of the good DMRs, mechanic 3 is alright but doesn’t have anything I can think of besides the cheapest barter for the zabralo, jaeger 3 has the RR barter, ragman 3 gives you access to plenty of solid backpacks and more importantly stuff like the gen4 hmk, redut-m and tan fast MT, skier allows you to actually use the MCX and gets you a cheap and solid foregrip with the regular RK-1

honest hatch
#

is the mcx good?

#

it uses

#

.300 blackouts right

#

or sumn

sharp socket
#

It is so long as you have access to CBJ which you get at skier 3

#

It’s basically an m4 platform smg

#

In a rifle caliber

honest hatch
#

build wise whats cheaper? mcx or m4

#

or are they around the same

sharp socket
#

MCX is going to have a higher base purchase price but probably will be overall cheaper in contrast to a meta m4

honest hatch
#

whats the meta m4?

sharp socket
#

MCX being a smaller gun for its meta config with work better in CQC

keen fossil
#

Still it’s like 250k-300k vs 400k-500k

honest hatch
#

oh i see

keen fossil
#

both guns aren’t cheap

honest hatch
#

mcx being the cheaper one?

sharp socket
#

But m4 will have greater effectiveness over range and less recoil

keen fossil
#

But meta m4 is a laser

honest hatch
#

whats the meta m4 build?

honest hatch
#

and is the prs gen 3 the best stock?

keen fossil
#

For recoil yeah

#

Moe also usable tho

sharp socket
#

Mur-1s upper, gral pistol grip, steel 60 round mags, raptor or avalanche charging handle, ARE buffer tube, MOE with rubber buttpad or PRS gen 3 stock, SAI QD rail, defiance FS and RS, night force 30mm scope mount with vudu or razor or the XPS-0 holosight, B25-rk1 canted, the saker ASR flash hider and the Saker suppressor

keen fossil
#

scope is optional tho

honest hatch
#

scope is preference no?

keen fossil
#

yeah

sharp socket
#

That’s why there’s multiple choices, scope is fully preference but those are the three most common choices

keen fossil
#

It’s hella useful but preference at the end of the day

sharp socket
#

Some instead of the night force will use the recknagel scope mount and run a delta force reflex sight on top of the gun if they are using the Vudu or razor

keen fossil
#

I like the ffs on the m4

honest hatch
#

what abt like the HCO

keen fossil
#

and other low recoil guns

honest hatch
sharp socket
#

The HCO I’m not a super big fan of because of how much the reticle is over the barrel of the gun, it can cause notable height over bore issues

#

But I know plenty like it

#

Just not my favorite, same with the Romeo holo, I think it has a nice reticle but it’s super bulky

honest hatch
#

i see

honest hatch
#

and 20k for +3 ergo is good right?

#

oh i see why unlocking traders is good for modding guns lol

keen fossil
#

This

I forgot the name but this sight slaps

Yeah man we can see that

#

sharp socket

#

shit goes hard

sharp socket
#

I’m more of a delta point reflex sight person myself

keen fossil
#

I like both

sharp socket
#

But respect to it

honest hatch
#

does an extra +3 ergo matter thqt much lol

sharp socket
#

Atleast it ain’t the pilad reflex sight

keen fossil
#

I wish the dot was a bit cleaner but the sights still good

#

I want old pk-06

#

Went hard

sharp socket
honest hatch
#

is there any noticeable reduction tho?

keen fossil
#

but realistically it doesn’t matter

honest hatch
#

like if not i dont see why i would spend more money on something i cant rlly notice

fallen cargo
#

just go in the highdout and buy 2 scopes and test it you wont feel 3 points maybe 10/15points difrens you feel

honest hatch
#

alr

fallen cargo
#

in general you can buy all the 2best items per slot and save like 100k per build and there be a 15/20 point difrent you feel it but you feel it in the wallet more if you not ritsh

sharp socket
#

It doesn’t often matter a crap ton but the higher the ergo or the lower the recoil even for the slightest reduction people pay tons of roubles for it just for that small advantage

#

Slightly quicker and quieter ADS, aiming down for longer, less jump even if it’s near impossible to see, people want it as low as it can go

keen fossil
#

Also ergo has a bug where when you aim after sprinting it barely does anything

fallen cargo
#

im lvl 42 so got all dealers maxs and now i build verry good recoil but early wipe i build evry gun cheap you feel a difrent but its not like i kil 10* more now

honest hatch
#

yra im looking at the b-25u rk-0 grip and i can buy a slightly worse grip for like half the price

keen fossil
#

rk2 vs rvg is like 2 recoil but 40k

#

with no traders

fallen cargo
#

like i said 2 best perslot saves you a easy 100k per gunbuild

sharp socket
#

Even if the difference is slight I still will pay that extra for the canted rk-1, it’s honestly probably a status thing than actually getting marginally better results

honest hatch
#

is that one grip good

#

the circle looking one

#

i think it had like cqc or sumn in its name

keen fossil
#

but also just has drip

honest hatch
#

hipfire is superior in close range fights right

keen fossil
#

yeah

honest hatch
#

oh its this grip is it any good

keen fossil
#

that’s good

honest hatch
#

its like decently cheap on flea

keen fossil
#

it’s almost best in slot for m4 mcx and hk

#

you can only use it on certain guns tho

do i gotta extract for The Survivalist Path - Tough Guy

#

or can i do it and just disconnect

clever knoll
#

You have to survive a raid. Even if you kill 3 scavs without medicine but then fight a player and heal after, you fail it.

#

So you need to not heal the entire raid and survive

bleak oak
#

Dumb question probably.. but after repairing an armor, does it still give you full protection? Let's say a zabralo.. full health it has 120 points, you get hit in raid, it goes down to 70, you repair it, it goes back up to let's say 100/100. Is it still tier 6 protection, or the equivalent of tier 5 or 4 at that point?

clever knoll
#

Look up "tarkov armor effective durability". But basically the lower the hitpoints of an armor, the weaker it is yeah

#

There are certain online calculators but I don't know exact numbers

bleak oak
#

will do - do you know if the weakening is the same if repaired or not?

#

meaning.. if it's 100 / 120.. or 100/100

clever knoll
#

I think it should be the same

bleak oak
#

interesting

#

so repairing just gives you hit points back, but not protection level

clever knoll
#

Basically the lower the HP of the armor, the more chance a bullet has to pen. A higher max durability just means the armor is stronger to begin with.

#

But don't believe my word, it's been a while since I've looked into it

#

It's best if you look up one of these calculators and see for yourself, I don't wanna talk bs

bleak oak
#

thx

clever knoll
#

I stand corrected, basically armor works based on % durability left.

#

But since bullets deal a flat amount of damage and not a %damage, lower max durability means the armor will degrade faster

#

And stop less bullets

tulip kettle
#

what do i do with all this armor? i havent been dying much lately so my stash has been pretty full and i dont really like running armor, i use armored rigs instead because they weigh less. and its not like i can sell them for much (bc banned from flea) even though theyre tier 5

clever knoll
#

If you're not gonna use it, sell it

#

And spend that money on stuff you're gonna use

I dont even know if fence wants that ghezel

It's still worth like 20k I think to fence

weak mirage
#

Lmao

tulip kettle
clever knoll
#

Well, yeah

#

But 70k is better than 0 and wasted stash space

weak mirage
#

If youre not using it sell it

clever knoll
#

Same applies to guns, if you're not gonna use them sell them

No reason to horde stuff that just sits there forever

question on pmc runs when u join late wipe taking Kedr how are you to deal with sniper scavs, or scavs at long distances?

#

just kill a scav earlier in the run and hope they have a rifle?

last copper
#

cheap, gets the job done and nobody will take it

loud crystal
#

who sells it?

fervent raft
#

look

#

first you click t to see what mode it is in

#

then i press ctrl + t and it switches to flashlight and laser

last copper
#

thx

fervent raft
#

then ctrl + t again and it goes to laser only

#

everytim you press it it changes mode

loud crystal
#

to give context iv joined wipe late and im level 1

fervent raft
#

otherwise you have to get close

loud crystal
#

well its mainly because running pmc into customs odds are ur gonna get zb 1011 extract

#

and there can be 2 sniper scav spawns on ur way there

fervent raft
#

yeah i would just not deal with the snipers then

#

just cover from them instead

loud crystal
#

kidna have to if they decided to spawn

fervent raft
#

if you wanna run kedr

#

no

loud crystal
#

ah u mean

#

just wait on their rotations

fervent raft
#

no like

#

they miss a lot of shots

#

in the start

#

so you just run for cover

#

and wait for stamina run for cover again

#

something like that

#

you dont have to kill them

loud crystal
#

yeah but iirc you have a 2 second window before their aim gets real good was that window increased?

last copper
loud crystal
#

anyway i guess the main point of my question is joining wipe late is a kedr still viable for eco runs pmc

#

trying to get tasks done

#

or is there different weapon i should be running

loud crystal
#

like a vpo

loud crystal
#

or mosin

last copper
last copper
loud crystal
#

or svt

fervent raft
#

otherwise the sks is a good option

#

but i have never tried starting in the middle of the wipe

#

so i dont know how to deal with that tbh

loud crystal
#

i remember someone reccomended running a sks once

#

now that you mention it

restive linden
#

sks is pretty bad now ngl

#

use svt

weak mirage
#

He cant get one

loud crystal
#

yeah im level 1 i need a weapon i can get by for the first 10-20 lvls

#

guess i kinda have to use sks

weak mirage
#

I would personally use mosin to level sniper skill

#

But it depends on How much you go for tasks

#

Cause you need sniper level 3

#

So i just run it, spam reload it and kill scavs with it

#

So its done quickly

loud crystal
#

well i mean iirc the main goal when u first get ur character going is level 20 asap

weak mirage
#

Depends id say

#

Lvl 15 is flea now if Thats What you mean

loud crystal
#

o

#

anyway still need a good loadout i can run until around that level

#

preferably a eco one

tulip kettle
#

weak mirage
#

faint canopy
#

Or kill birdeye

#

That last zyracheese event was a good way too

weak mirage
#

As i Said i run The mosin till sniper level 3, But otherwise id just run whatever i Can get my hands on

#

The only thing that matter in lvl 1 is just getting tasks done anyway

tulip kettle
#

lol

weak mirage
#

Nice man

#

Happy it worked

loud crystal
weak mirage
#

You need it for one of The first tarkov shooter quests

#

They give huge xp

#

And when you reach lvl 3 you get The rest of The levels required, for later tasks. From doing quests

loud crystal
#

i c

weak mirage
#

But it also depends on How much time you Got

#

And What you wanna focus

#

If you wanna speeding levels, mosin is The best at start of wipe

#

I Think i had Max traders on day 5

#

I cant remember exactly

loud crystal
#

mosin for getting tasks done? got it.

weak mirage
#

If you spam reload it with some cheap ammo youre gonna level it fast

#

And Then just dodge pvp really, and kill scavs with it

the sooner you try to figure out where you spawn from maps like this website https://mapgenie.io/tarkov the better .note some need 10$ to be unlocked but you can find the ones that arent on this website on tarkov.help
do quests don't neglect them, and don't fall into the trap of doing factory only because it's the smallest map and therefore the best to start on, might be true but that place is only for PvP

Propital gives painkiller and a slight HP regen with limited downsides

main violet

if ykwim

sharp socket
#

Etg gives a little food but takes more away later, the primary upside is the massive amount of HP it heals back allowing you to regen HP even with 3 heavy bleeds

#

Zagustin stops and prevents bleeds for 2 minutes at the cost of some water lost

#

Sj6 gives 50% more stamina for also basically no downsides

#

Adrenaline has painkiller a stamina boost and hp regen but can drain your food and water, the painkiller is only 80 seconds but it’s very cheap and can be good for a hotbar

#

Perfatorin stops and prevents bleeds for 90 seconds aswell cures poison and gives an HP regen at a notable loss of energy

#

And PNB gives notable strength and endurance bonuses alongside a pretty good HP regen but can have some strong impacts afterwards

Most players in labs are going to be very experienced and use advanced movement strategies or they are going to not move at all and fail to teach you any skills, there is also a very high volume of cheaters in contrast to other locations

Get a hang of it in what aspect?

In general it shouldnt matter what map, but how you approach the fight, how you play to gain info, how you maneuver

Obviously shooting is important, but you want to play in a way that gives you the most advantage over others

sharp socket
#

The two most absolute basic building blocks of tarkov pvp is right hand rule and peekers advantage

#

But knowing the capabilities of your gun and its ammo to their gun/armour and the potential bullets they could be using can be helpful, along with that knowing where PMCs in a match will spawn so you can roughly guess where they will be coming from

drop the helmet for the backpack if ur not planning to loot take the 2k one from ragman 1 and depending on what map ur running mosin usually kinda sucks imo so try using ppsh or kedr for close range aks-74u for medium range and adar for long range

run a 50k armor + a 20-50k gun and you got yourself an eco run

anything below that is death and a waste of cash and ur better off running the double barrel shotgun worth 8k from jager and a paca for a total of like 30k to avoid tagged and cursed
