[reef sequoia]

make it shoot enough

it will start shooting tripple shots

[velvet flicker]

why can i not buy any items from peacekeeper despite having thousands of dollars

[velvet flicker]

it says i don't have some items required, and the item it says i need is USD, while the item in my inventory is labeled dollars rather than USD, is this a bug

[velvet flicker]

well that's new, thanks

[autumn mesa]

why everytime i click play a timer keeps popping up

[timber depot]

as a scav can i kill the guards that spawn at the bear camp and not lose rep in streets?

[reef sequoia]

click what

[autumn mesa]

never min d found a fic thank you

[reef sequoia]

you mean lexos?

that's boss guards

you will lose rep

only guards you can kill without loosing rep

is rogues in lighthouse

[viral hearth]

every time i go into a raid i die from a 1 tap from idk where, its been my like 6th raid in a row

[reef sequoia]

what map

what spawn

where you went

[viral hearth]

reserve

its not like i run out in the open either

im decent

like level 27

idk what spawn but whatever one that isnt on dome i die almost 30 seconds in from a 1 tap from who know where

[reef sequoia]

basically

depends where you spawn

but too many spawns see each other

I really dislike the spawns on that map

if you die on spawn then just wait like 30 sec

[viral hearth]

ok thanks

hate this fucking game tho

pisses me tf off

[reef sequoia]

welcome to addiction

hate it but still play it

[viral hearth]

hahahh

should i just stick to one map and learn it the best i can

[reef sequoia]

nah

gonna get boring quick

try to switch maps and learn em bit by bit

well I guess

try to learn maps while doing quests

[coarse halo]

I'm doing this. If you like that map yeah, why not

[reef sequoia]

depends have you unlocked any decent ammo yet or not

[uncut nimbus]

is the SA-58 usable again?

[tacit cosmos]

Can someone give some advice when getting into combat with another PMC? When its close quarters I usually just freak out, stay still and get killed. I have a hard time locating where the other player is before he spots me. (160h played)

I dont have a way to 'approach' a fight. Do I seel cover or push? Do I use my nades or retreat and reposition? I feel like there are 1 million options and I always pick the wrong one

[bold kernel]

it's hard to explain and it's dependent on where you're at or where you're getting shot from
sometimes it's easier to shoot back, push and be aggressive
other times, taking cover, listening for a bit and waiting until they push for you to make your play is more optimal

[unreal adder]

Play with snow

[faint canopy]

It's not bad

Decent recoil for full auto 762

If u build it full meta

[tacit cosmos]

Would you say its just knowledge that develops over time? Or does it involve active training or something? (Cuz my aim is shit too lol)

[bold kernel]

it develops overtime 100%
also if you want and don't care about dying you can always force yourself to try things during a fight

aim gets better over time too

[tacit cosmos]

Thanks for the advice!

[pliant bison]

when engaging beyond spitting distance—should I be standing still to steady my shots, or is it more important to keep moving?

[reef sequoia]

can you hit while moving?

if not then sit still

[tacit cosmos]

Maybe pointfire if your weapon is suitable and they are not too far away? Otherwise stand still i guess

[reef sequoia]

didn't you just say you aren't great at fighting?

and my advice work on losing your panic mode

[tacit cosmos]

Yes I did, hence the questionmark in my response

Also am I not allowed to share my own opinion?

[faint canopy]

Nope this is the Tarkov discord bucko 😈

[pliant bison]

I have 2 PMC kills so far, one of them was a one-tap on a dude coming out of a building who didn't know I was there (shortly after which I got one-tapped by a scav myself), the other was a point-blank spray on a dude I heard in advance as he came through a door

neither of which I'd call proper "fights" lmao

[bold kernel]

i'd like to say most fights aren't "proper"

they happen spontaneously or like "there's a guy in here!"

and then someone gets shot and you guys have to act

[pliant bison]

what I mean is, if I'm getting shot at first, I either die or run away

[honest hatch]

thanks this will be very useful 😈

[pliant bison]

I've never exchanged fire with a PMC and won

[unreal adder]

I mean thats just the thing tho

Most tarkov fights ends during first contact

[pliant bison]

mm

[bold kernel]

any of you boys need a PKP?

got one off kaban and ive done gunsmith already

perhaps...

[reef sequoia]

maybe

is this what they call RMT?

[pliant bison]

where should I go for Iskra ration packs? got the rest of what I need for Acquaintance, but I've been hitting Interchange and haven't found any yet

[reef sequoia]

labs

every weapon case spawns them

[pliant bison]

I don't have any access cards

[reef sequoia]

damn

[unreal adder]

[bold kernel]

im giving it away for free

so no lmao

[reef sequoia]

hmmm

what you want for it?

[bold kernel]

literally nothin g

[unreal adder]

[reef sequoia]

shhh

don't tell mods

[unreal adder]

I yam

right here

[reef sequoia]

hi mister

[bold kernel]

it's not against the rules or anything of this server

no trading is allowed though

neither is rmt naturally

if he wants to drop an item to help someone out it's permitted

[unreal adder]

I was okay until

[reef sequoia]

😄

[bold kernel]

ive always been confused by that shit tbh

pests server used to have a specific section to drop people car batteries ect

but now its a bit of a gray area

[reef sequoia]

it's called "what they don't know wont hurt them"

[bold kernel]

nikita did say back in the day "its fine to boost people a little bit"

[unreal adder]

Its more that

[reef sequoia]

idk

that whole boost is so weird

[unreal adder]

If its players ing between themselves

[reef sequoia]

like back in the day you could give me best gear

and I'd still die

[unreal adder]

We dont handle complaints of

"X scammed me and didnt give me X"

[bold kernel]

tbh i wouldnt either lmao

[unreal adder]

So we just avoid the whole avenue ya know

No rabbit holes to go down if we dont dig any holes

👍

[bold kernel]

true true

[reef sequoia]

so anyway

as long as mods don't know we trading secrets we good

[bold kernel]

@reef sequoia I can drop you a barebones gun lmao

get a 4 man together for factory so we can have some legitimately fun gameplay and you can perhaps extract with my gear and bring it back out for me

🤓

[reef sequoia]

or just wipe map

[lusty raptor]

fun new bug. a hacker kills me. i black screen. can hear him loot my body and continue to play. i am just stuck on blackscreen but can bear all sounds

[reef sequoia]

easier

who has friends if they play tarkov

[bold kernel]

lmao

ill add you anyways

[reef sequoia]

currently in shoreline

sooo

[bold kernel]

itll sit in my stash until i have a totally fun game with someone and they perhaps extract with my corpses gear anyways 🤓

also shoreline?

shit map ahahah

tbh id like it more if sanitar could actually drop coloured keycards tbh

[obsidian basalt]

whats the difference between op sks and sks

[small idol]

u can put scope on op sks

and suppressor

[obsidian basalt]

oh awesome

i got one off a player i killed

[small idol]

sweet

[obsidian basalt]

they had a ak545 and a op sks

[small idol]

what lvl r u?

[obsidian basalt]

5

[small idol]

oh nice

[obsidian basalt]

im very new so im happy cause this is my first extraction

[small idol]

yea op sks and ps rounds are what ur gonna wanna run until u get ur traders leveled up

[small idol]

BIGGG

[austere hound]

Supressor goes on the base sks too

[obsidian basalt]

also got a zhuk

[small idol]

blue or green?

[obsidian basalt]

its like grey

also can i put a PSO on the op sks

[small idol]

yes

you just need the dovetail mount if im not mistaken

[obsidian basalt]

oh okay

are night vision scopes always night vision or can you turn them off

[small idol]

nah dont use night vision scopes

they are a meme in this game

[obsidian basalt]

oh okay

im so happy

[small idol]

night visions or flashlights is the way to go

just not nv scopes

[obsidian basalt]

okay

i was going to extract with adar but i found better guns

brought in a vpo 209 and left with OP SKS and AK 545

and a TT

[small idol]

nice

make sure u watch a video or find a chart about good vs bad ammo

[obsidian basalt]

okay

is HP good ammo for SKS

[small idol]

no

u want ammo that can pen t4

[obsidian basalt]

oh okay

which is the cheapest one

[small idol]

https://www.eft-ammo.com/ammo-graph

[obsidian basalt]

is SP worth it?

[small idol]

no

[obsidian basalt]

k

[small idol]

until u get t2 traders not much ammo is good

[austere hound]

Do a scav run and loot dead scavs til you find some PS. It's good enough early on

[small idol]

so if you want to kill a pmc you have to shoot them in the face

[obsidian basalt]

im good at that

i flicked a AI scav

[small idol]

this ^, scavs often times will have ps for your sks

[obsidian basalt]

okay

[austere hound]

You should get 30-120 rounds off the scav

[obsidian basalt]

FMJ?

[small idol]

if you look at the graph on eft ammo sorted by 7.62x39 you will find that the ps ammo scavs have will go through t4

[small idol]

no, look at the chart

[obsidian basalt]

okay

so use SP?

[small idol]

any ammo that cant pen t4 youre going to want to aim for their face (not the helmet)

[obsidian basalt]

okay

[small idol]

im only talking about pmcs btw scavs u can aim wherever

but going for headshots on scavs is generally a good idea anyways

[obsidian basalt]

none of the traders have PP ammo

[small idol]

correct

you have to level up your traders to get that ammo

[obsidian basalt]

okay

[tidal lagoon]

??ammo

[obsidian basalt]

how do I get jager

[small idol]

ideally ur goal should be finding some 7.62x39 ps ammo on scavs for ur sks

[small idol]

mechanic quest

[obsidian basalt]

where do i find that

[small idol]

if you need help with it i can run it with you

[small idol]

the quest or the letter

[obsidian basalt]

okay

where do i find quests

[small idol]

go to your traders that have a green symbol at the top right

[obsidian basalt]

okay

[small idol]

tasks at the top left

[rustic escarp]

theyre called tasks in-game

[small idol]

and claim at the top left

[obsidian basalt]

then what

oh thanks

[small idol]

and u want to claim all the quests u have available from all traders

[obsidian basalt]

How the hell am i supposed to do that

[small idol]

doing quests is the fastest way to level up your player and traders

[small idol]

by claiming the tasks for all your vendors

any that have a green dot

[obsidian basalt]

okay

[small idol]

your tasks are kind of your guidelines for what to do in tarkov

[obsidian basalt]

what can i do with dogtags

[small idol]

sell to therapist for money or you can hold onto them for certain barter trades and quests

[obsidian basalt]

okay

[small idol]

or if your sick in the head you collect them so you can see everyone youve ever killed

[tidal lagoon]

sick in head is not collecting all dogtags and keeping them

[small idol]

based

[obsidian basalt]

thanks guys

my scav has only a pistol LOL

[small idol]

the more you extract on your scav (and dont shoot friendly scavs) the better loot and gear your scav will spawn in with

[obsidian basalt]

do other scavs attack you even when your a scav?

[small idol]

not unless you shoot them first

[keen orchid]

need someone to guide and carry me through streets just trying to get some tasks done

[small idol]

good rule of thumb is to never shoot a scav as a scav

but if they shoot you first and it actually hits you then you can kill them

[obsidian basalt]

okay

well i have shot first alot :/

oof

[small idol]

lol unlucky, being a bad scav increases ur scav timer and makes ur scav loadouts worse

[obsidian basalt]

oh i did not know thanks

[faint canopy]

Killing a scav as a player scav give you 20k roubles per kill at the end of raid

Pretty worth imo

[rustic escarp]

lmao

[small idol]

LOL

[faint canopy]

U just gotta press the sell all button to claim the money

[obsidian basalt]

almost just shot a scav

[faint canopy]

Do it no balls

Get yo money up

[small idol]

u cant embed here can you, i once scav on scaved a guy running around a corner because he caught me off guard and dude added me to call my trash but saw i was a high level, told him i like to keep people on their toes and he said i was sick in the head lol

[open glade]

you can send images

[small idol]

oh fr

[open glade]

yis

[obsidian basalt]

second crash in 1 hour

[fervent raft]

backstory

[open glade]

look up

[honest hatch]

how do i scav lighthouse and streets

i heard its good money

[small idol]

watch a loot guide on youtube

streets is best map for scaving in terms of money

[honest hatch]

does it take longer than lighthouse or around the same?

[small idol]

im not sure

i dont scav either

[honest hatch]

i gotta start getting my money up so i gotta scav more

[small idol]

u make more money doing pmcs and living

[honest hatch]

how?

[small idol]

like relative to time

loot a lot of stuff and dont die

pvp isnt profitable cuz game meta sucks so just avoid pvp and loot rare items

streets has the most money making potential but i have terrible performance so i dont play it, i make money just fine

[honest hatch]

do i just run the same route for scav as pmc?

[small idol]

depends on the map

some maps u will want keys

like resort is key heavy

woods is not

streets is mostly not but u should invest in some keys

[outer mulch]

Butting in here to agree with you. They have GOT to make some changes

[small idol]

yea, i dont feel like going into the nitty gritty of it but landmark and tigz have great videos breaking down the problems with pvp and economy rn and solutions for them

[outer mulch]

They need to make dog tags really valuable to sell like during that event a wipe or two ago, and/or they need to remove FIR again (but keep flea restrictions), and/or increase the gear selling prices to traders

[small idol]

yea

[outer mulch]

I might go watch those, I'm curious

I hope they make some good changes in December here

[small idol]

https://youtu.be/RirPWEJoE6g

[outer mulch]

The game really needs them

[small idol]

thats the best video

[outer mulch]

Ah sweet

[small idol]

really breaks everything down and takes in other streamers perspectives

[outer mulch]

Jesse kazam also has one about the audio and stuff

[honest hatch]

ok ill try to find some guides to make mpney on streets

[small idol]

good luck!

if your survivabilities a problem id recommend woods, its not the most efficient per time due to the amount of running you have to do but if route through the middle of the maps to the POIs you will live nearly every single raid

[honest hatch]

is there any good utubers i shoulf watch lol

[small idol]

i havent really watched any money making guides recently but maybe axel rengawr?

someone else may have a better suggestion though, again i havent really watched any guides pertaining to money recently

[honest hatch]

alr

[coarse fog]

hello guys, i bought this game a week ago and ran a few raids and just died to bots can anyone help me?

[small idol]

i can help

is there anything specific u need help with?

[coarse fog]

i kinda don't get it where im supposed to escape

[small idol]

if you double tap o on your keyboard it will show you your extracts

from there you want to pull up a map online and orient yourself towards it

[coarse fog]

oh but i think like they were closed

[rich ibex]

I have a question about my version of Tarkov that I have can I ask that in here?

[small idol]

the ones that show up when you double tap o are open, however certain extracts are conditionally open there are guarenteed extracts on each map

[shell shadow]

Sure

[small idol]

im abt to run customs if you wanna come along

[coarse fog]

ok, can you please give me a link to all maps, idk where to even look

[shell shadow]

Just google any map + tarkov wiki

[small idol]

the tarkov wiki is a goto for any question in this game, if you look up customs eft or whatever a gamepedia article will have all the maps and stuff

[coarse fog]

ok thanks

[shell shadow]

It'll be a bit overwhelming at first

[coarse fog]

yes it is i just get killed by bots

[river rampart]

@rich ibex The EU version can be played in the USA.

[shell shadow]

I recommend getting used to customs first

[rich ibex]

I have a lot of lag issues is my only prob

[small idol]

watch this for how to fight the bots safely https://youtu.be/mFtEI37gfa0

[coarse fog]

is it a map?

[shell shadow]

@coarse fog possibly try getting the quest done which gives you a compass

[coarse fog]

ok

[shell shadow]

Yes

[zinc dune]

bro why can I never get out of customs just a bunch of chads kill me why I try to quest

[shell shadow]

I used the compass alot to navigate maps at first

[small idol]

because of the map design

[zinc dune]

wdym?

[small idol]

its built very narrow and linear so players collapse into each other

[zinc dune]

ugh

[small idol]

if you need help with customs quests u can join me

im na tho

idk if thats a problem

i gotta go get some scav kills there

[zinc dune]

ya sure I just hit 15 and have so many I was able to do every map but this one the worst

[small idol]

lol

duo 15

cant inv to channel

[zinc dune]

hold on my game is tweaking for some reason

pc going crazy

[coarse fog]

i just discovered there is quests in this game, what quests do you recommend to do (im a beginner)?

[shell shadow]

First one should be Therapists quest to find salewa kits

That'll get you started. Ideally you do all

Up until late game

[coarse fog]

oh i found one in raid

but i died and it saved idk why

how do i turn in the salewa?

[small idol]

go to therapist task page and press the turn in button

it has to be found in raid though (item has a check at the bottom right)

if you die with an item that you found and its in your secure container its not considered found in raid

[shell shadow]

The salewa needs to have the "found in raid" mark. It's a little checkpoint on the item. It'll only have this if you survived the raid with it in your inventory

So stashing items away in your pouch won't help towards quest progress

[coarse fog]

oh ok

[shell shadow]

Bringing an item into raid will also remove fir stat

[small idol]

@zinc dune should i wait for you or just play?

[zinc dune]

play, IDK wtf is happening

[small idol]

👍

[deft edge]

can you gain exp for healing out of raid using stuff in stash or is it pointless and should i just use the service when i die

[viral prawn]

can the US version be played in the EU?

[river rampart]

No. It will return error 208.

[viral prawn]

But I can queue into EU servers from NA on the NA version?

assuming i don't get booted by ping right?

but like, i can't plug into an EU ISP and then play it

[river rampart]

The login region lock is not the same as the "within 200 ping" thing.

[viral prawn]

You can but it's a small amount of XP

[river rampart]

You can log into EU servers as long as you're within 200 ping of them.

[viral prawn]

I'm Land Locked Central Canada, so that's sort of hard for me

[river rampart]

But you will be logging into USA servers if you launch from the USA.

[viral prawn]

it's 2200 km to the coast, which one, Pick

[fervent raft]

you can use it with vpn

[river rampart]

Not anymore.

[fervent raft]

im playing on a region locked acc rn

[river rampart]

Explain what you mean.

[fervent raft]

my account is not european

but i can use it

even tho im eu

[orchid isle]

Senden boutta get booted

[fervent raft]

most likely

idk if its not allowed

[river rampart]

You are within 200 ping so you can choose those servers.

[fervent raft]

yeah

[river rampart]

That is not the same as region lock evading.

you don't need the VPN then.

[orchid isle]

Hehe

[fervent raft]

i think i missunderstood then

[viral prawn]

Any newer players in need of assistance, Willing to help with low level quests, Making Money, General Skills, and other Gear Fear issues

where the goons at

???

[velvet warren]

Think customs but im not sure, havent seen them on shoreline/woods/lighthouse yet

[dire folio]

Me

[dense tusk]

How do I tell if lightkeeper has a task for me?

[shell shadow]

Use a tracker

[fervent raft]

you talk to him

he will show up in your tasks log after

[dense tusk]

Ah

Zyrachi won’t kill me right?

[fervent raft]

it needs to say encoded

mines blocked cause im with a du

duo

[lavish summit]

i just got blown up out of nowhere in streets and thought it was a pmc next to me, but the kill screen said i just killed myself.. i was not out of bounds (i dnt think) ?

oh i was near concordia are there landmines?

thats so fun wow omg. glad to know i died to something invisible instead of a cheater or something. i found a bunch of stuff guess i know why lol

[fervent raft]

yeah you stepped in a claymore

[lavish summit]

base of these stairs right

[fervent raft]

idk if this is outdated

but all the red marks

are landmines

[lavish summit]

dnt really know where i was

[fervent raft]

shit happens

[lavish summit]

do u know where it is on the map so i know for next time pls?

[fervent raft]

where what is

[lavish summit]

like is this building here?

the one i died just outside of

[fervent raft]

this is what you died to i think

[obsidian basalt]

Should I sell a terragroups access card im level 5

[lavish summit]

that looks about right, sheesh i had to zoom in to see it. thank you

[pearl furnace]

Hey, do weapon mastery ranks mean anything? Like, any bonuses or anything?

[solemn raptor]

You can reload while aiming down sights with level 3

[sharp socket]

Smoother reloads and mastery 3 lets you reload whilst ADS

[solemn raptor]

and a fancy reload animation

[pearl furnace]

Nice. Fancy shotgun reloads here I come, I guess. Haha

[solemn raptor]

you manaic haha

@pearl furnace
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Weapon_mastery

[lavish summit]

wtf lol im lvl 21 and dont think im lvl 1 in any weapon category, are you running straight factory+shotgun?

[pearl furnace]

Thanks for the link. And yes, I am a madman.

[pearl furnace]

Nah, I just have way better results with a MP-153 and magnum buck than I do with most other weapons.

[solemn raptor]

stick with the same gun over and over, don't be a maniac and use other people's weapons. You'll get germs on your hands.

[lavish summit]

hahaha i was just about to say i found a nice mp155 on streets, but 2 seconds after i blew up so i reckon the germs are the reason i died 😮‍💨

[solemn raptor]

You're going to need to get 2200 projectile with your shotgun. Each pellet counts as a seperate hit.

[pearl furnace]

Should start bringing Augmentin with you to handle the germs hahaha

[lavish summit]

6.5mm vs magnum though?

[pearl furnace]

Dunno, Magnum's basically free ammo so I usually use that and go head/leg meta.

[lavish summit]

whats that, aim for legs and you'll hit the head?

[pearl furnace]

Whoops, misspoke; I'm 176/200 with MP-133, and haven't gotten to lv2 with MP-153 yet. My mistake!

LOL no, but Magnum has shit pen like most buck, so I blow their legs off if I can't manage a clean one-tap headshot.

[open siren]

Hey there someone could help me out please im 26 Year old trynna get back into the game level 1 fresh account!

How do i do lighthouse quests if i need to go to the military base and im already getting grenaded from halfway accross the map?

[whole thistle]

either kill them all or just give up on lighthouse

[honest hatch]

i need lighthouse for mechanic lol

so sad

[whole thistle]

its good to know how to kill rogues anyway

[honest hatch]

how do i kill them if i dont see them and die to grenade launcher 😭

[vital oasis]

watch a youtube video

theres a couple of good paths

[whole thistle]

you need to approach them from specific places

[peak flicker]

There any codes rn?

[slim echo]

[vital oasis]

fucking joke

jesus fuck

pure cancer of a map

time to go again

aight im done with this map lol died in 2 mins to a 3 man

[serene hatch]

anyone want to play and help me learn the game pls

[wispy wedge]

Tomorrow

[reef sequoia]

very high ask right there

find out what you don't know

info dump never helps

[lavish summit]

what would cause a scav to just randomly start shooting me on streets..? i have a clip but looks like an ai scav shot me first at an airdrop and i killed him, then another ai scav hunted me down and killed me? i didnt pull the trigger before that and my only 3 kills were after the first guy shot me?

i have -0.5 rep so i dont think its so low to cause them to shoot on sight

[reef sequoia]

someone else trolled you, shot you from distance you thought the guy close to you shot you, you killed him and got marked as bad scav

[languid owl]

RATE MY LOOT

i killed a trio

[reef sequoia]

good for a timmy

[languid owl]

youre a fatty

[reef sequoia]

I know

[lavish summit]

this scav definitely hit me, i dont know if by accident and maybe it doesnt classify him as bad scav?

[reef sequoia]

you know what they say

lots of me to love

[lavish summit]

like if a scav is aiming for a pmc, but hits you, does it classify him as a bad scav or not programmed in?

an AI scav

[reef sequoia]

he will get murdered by other scavs

just like if you have 6 rep and you throw a flashbag at boss with guards and someone hits anything

they will shoot each other

[lavish summit]

then yeah I have no idea wtf, this AI scav just opened fire on me for no reason and then i got marked as bad scav, or i was markd as bad scav for no reason prior lol

[reef sequoia]

?

[reef sequoia]

probs did something

[reef sequoia]

what?

[lavish summit]

i can post the entire run, dont think i did anything.. didnt shoot a bullet prior to this lol

[reef sequoia]

do it

[lavish summit]

aight

[reef sequoia]

or is your scav rep like -6 or something

[lavish summit]

-0.5 bro im not that hated 😦

[reef sequoia]

meh

just spam v extracts as a naked unhealed pmc

DC until you get car spawn

extract

takes like an hour or two to max out scav rep

[lavish summit]

lol really? even tho its diminishing ?

and im scared to run thru

[reef sequoia]

?

why

you will get run through

but it only matters if you have shit you want to sell on flea

[lavish summit]

oh wait, you get rep even if you run through the v-ex?

[reef sequoia]

but if you naked spawn> car extract then it's fine

[lavish summit]

word i did not know that

aight if you still care about this raid and random AI shooting me it's done in 1 minute

[reef sequoia]

post

I'm bored

[lavish summit]

fricking 2 gigabytes

[reef sequoia]

wtf are you doing there

holy shit

[lavish summit]

first time using premiere lol

[reef sequoia]

4k render of a scav shooting you?

[lavish summit]

its a 7.5min raid start to finish

[reef sequoia]

AND 2GB??

[lavish summit]

if i upload just the scav shooting u will say, "but what happened earlier"

i know wtf, the base clip is 1.2GB lol

[reef sequoia]

you probs just hit another scav through another scav

easy

[lavish summit]

potentially but i didnt shoot a single bullet until he shot me

and im p sure it was an AI, he has the mannerisms

[reef sequoia]

you'd be surprised

or you pissed off boss?

you go any close to lexos?

[lavish summit]

um well we might have been in lexos, i dont know the map

ok 720p instead of 1440p is 500mb give me a sec

[reef sequoia]

you bring me pain

[lavish summit]

yeah u want to hear pain, that was h265 and its not playing the video in browser so to save you downloading the clip im re-exporting as h264 lol

all this for u to go 'yeah u shouldnt have been there' 🤣

[reef sequoia]

it's weird AI scav would kill you for nothing

[lavish summit]

he was shooting everyone, but definitely seemed like AI

might have been a PMC in the area possibly, but i think its all scav on scav

[reef sequoia]

shooting others to bait into shooting back at him

to get scav rep

[lavish summit]

i mean he hit me lol

[reef sequoia]

oh

[lavish summit]

u will see

[reef sequoia]

then u bad for being bad

idk

[lavish summit]

im kos everyone from now on

rdm rdm rdm

4:45

omfg dude i must have hit the AI/player scav that came out of the house at 5:14

through the bad scav..

bro thinks hes being aimbotted through the wall 🤣🤣 nah just an execution

[reef sequoia]

hmm

[lavish summit]

dude i have no other ideas, you? what happened here 🤣

i only had 3 kills and they were all self defense y'know what im sayin

[reef sequoia]

ppsh guy was a bad scav

that's obv

[lavish summit]

first guy?

[reef sequoia]

he got shot and some pelets hit you

[lavish summit]

this gentleman?

[reef sequoia]

yes

[lavish summit]

fuuuck so the AI missed and hit me..

[reef sequoia]

yes

but that should of counted him as bad scav

[lavish summit]

;_; and thats my fault because why

nah probably not programmed in for AI

[reef sequoia]

unless ai scavs don't get it???

[lavish summit]

what makes u say hes obviously bad?

oh because he got flatlined

[reef sequoia]

but if you recoche yourself as a scav you get marked as a bad scav

[lavish summit]

i think (or thought) he got killed by the guy on top of the bridge

[reef sequoia]

scav was shooting at him

was clearly aimed at him

[lavish summit]

daamn thats so unlucky hahaha

[reef sequoia]

and he aggroed the moment he was in sight

you weren't even there yet

and scav went agro moment he spotted this guy

[lavish summit]

thats hilarious, wtf, i didnt notice because i thought it was a player at first

[reef sequoia]

nah AI scav shot at bad scav

hit you as well

you killed him

that marked you as a bad scav

[lavish summit]

yeah i get it.. funny asf thats a tarkov fail for sure

[reef sequoia]

and then you got gunned down

yep

like wtf

😄

[reef sequoia]

but that is just my theory

[lavish summit]

nah thats defo what happened, he gets clapped by a scav

[reef sequoia]

it's purely on if the ai gets marked as bad scav

but weird part is if ai scav shoots another good scav

they get gunned down

so why did it not work on you

[lavish summit]

even accidentally?

maybe its the buckshot spread or something..?

[reef sequoia]

you can get scavs to kill each other with flashbags very easy

[lavish summit]

GRENATATU

[reef sequoia]

penetrated bullets don't count as damage from entity?

guess just a very dumb tarkov interaction

but that's my best guess on what happened

[weak mirage]

All i see is those nuts

[languid owl]

nice

[tulip kettle]

any tips on winning my close range fights

i always lose in close quarter fights and idk if it’s because my movement or what is bad

[west condor]

i keep seeing this on the map maybe cheater

[spiral flicker]

Abuse desync --> when you push around a corner you should be able to see him first, but that's only when you know where the guy exactly is

Lemme find a clip

[tulip kettle]

yea ik i see these videos of people just running through doorways and then hipfiring and killing them so easily

but it never seems to work when i do it

or at least try to

[spiral flicker]

https://outplayed.tv/media/EBk684

It's practice

[west condor]

smooth gun

[spiral flicker]

I have 3300 hours so don't compare to me or any other ytber or streamer cuz they have 2x,3x,4x,5x more hours than you so they have more games, more pcp done

[spiral flicker]

Ong

[west condor]

how much the build costs

[weak mirage]

A good hk is 300-400k

[west condor]

too much i only got like 1.7m

[spiral flicker]

Uh, idk tbh, I haven't played tarkov for 2 months maybe but the gun it self is like 60k + attachment are like 300-500k depending on your trader lvls

[spiral flicker]

Yea for the build I have, you would pay like 2 mil

[west condor]

im tired of ak's

[slender prawn]

-2.8 bud?

[spiral flicker]

It's basically the most meta (recoil meta) hk

[west condor]

yea i been losing to temptaions

[spiral flicker]

M4s are superior anyways

[west condor]

true but they too expensive

[spiral flicker]

Yea

[slender prawn]

imagine ❤️ 😂

[west condor]

Good gun?

[open glade]

🤮🤮🤮

[frigid finch]

who runs an axmc like this lol

[prime comet]

I did for psycho sniper

[frigid finch]

just killed a dude on interchange with it

[dry flint]

i did it once in a lab run. its effective if you can connect with thorax

[frigid finch]

no suppressor though?

[dire folio]

Me, just a uh1 imstead

[dry flint]

labs is small enough that even when surpressed, people can still hear where you are with the gun sound

most of the time

[open glade]

Facts

Unless they are literally on the other side of the map

And even then

I think they still can

[viral prawn]

All i want is to help somebody NEWWWWW

[young socket]

Do i need to complete supply plans and Secure Perimeter to unlock The Huntsman Path - Woods Keeper?

[simple sandal]

im new i need some help

[umbral oyster]

where is the best place for fuel conditioners?

[raven quarry]

who do the bosses follow with the dsf

[frigid finch]

when you accidentally kill shturman and dont even realize it...

[wheat tree]

Good xp

[viral prawn]

what you looking to do

Sorry, was just making more garbage video's

Since Disney is trying to ruin Star Wars, i thought i'd give it a red hot go too

[simple sandal]

where to find the exit and get some missions done

[viral prawn]

Tarkov sort of expects you to use external resources to help learn how to use the game, specifically the wiki, which has interactive maps, i'd try using the roads to learn where you are in the map

the Wiki has so many useful resources, but i can also hop into a raid and help you with a few quests

is this your first wipe, how long have you been playing for, what are your major struggles so far

[simple sandal]

im lvl2 and this is my first wipe

[viral prawn]

you NA or EU

[simple sandal]

na

[south atlas]

you gotta pay for this shit or some one help for free

[opaque osprey]

what are you trying to do >

[opaque osprey]

what do you need help with ?

[south atlas]

nothing tbh just want someone to play with but people think im shit because im low lvl

[opaque osprey]

ohh okay well im about to get off after a few more raids but you can pm me if you ever wanna play

[heady igloo]

Hi guys, I have played Tarkov once and kind of stopped because of how overwelming it is at the start. But I'm trying again, and with that, I have some questions, and I would be grateful if someone could help me.

[muted geode]

Feel free to ask in this channel !

[heady igloo]

which fraction is better to choose as a new player? BEAR or USEC?

[open glade]

Look it up on the wiki, it will show the entire questlind

[open glade]

There is no difference

USEC are Americans, you start with M4 and MDR and NATO gear. BEAR are Russians, you start with AK and RUAF gear

[solid topaz]

USEC is objectively better.

And it's also helpful for other players if you go USEC.

BEAR dogtags aren't very useable...

[open glade]

Not really.

Unless you are playing lighthouse, there is no situation where your faction will change anything about your gameplay

[tidal lagoon]

bear better early

[open glade]

Indeed. But overall it barely impacts the game to a level where one can clearly say which faction is better

Its just

both of them

Either one

[main violet]

hi, just looking to do some early quest line stuff to get to level 20+ (currently 19), but most of the quests I am unfamiliar with as it is my first wipe. I will be on later tonight around like 5-6pm EST so if you are willing to help me out dm me. thanks

[honest hatch]

Do i have to survive and extract for broadcast part 1?

[kind rivet]

This is a lot of my factory raids, I even had on the gorilla face shield I got from another player and still died immediately. I don’t understand how I died so fast. I stopped playing factory and started playing more customs though.

[tidal lagoon]

hard to tell without knowing what he shot you with

[potent crater]

^^^

I cant hear audio so what caliber did it sound like @tidal lagoon ?

Is it suppressed?

[tidal lagoon]

there is no sound

definitely shouldnt be running tagilla mask with lvl 3 armor tho

[kind rivet]

Yea but he hit head anyways and that’s what I was hoping most shots would hit and I could fight back. I didn’t have any other armor

[tidal lagoon]

yea ik, but overall, i like to never run a higher tier helmet than armor

[kind rivet]

I assume due to most people shooting center mass. Unless you’re me and terribly unlucky

[tidal lagoon]

yea I feel center mass is where u get hit most and where armor is most needed

[honest hatch]

how am i supposed to do broadcast part 1

its so hard to get to the location

[dry flint]

you bear?

[honest hatch]

yea

[dry flint]

rip

youll have to learn how to wipe out rogues 1 by 1

[honest hatch]

i killed a rogue and then a pmc shot me lol

[dry flint]

and the new rouge ai change during the haloween event changed their behaviour, so its a bit hard to know what to do now with them\

you just have to go the right(east side) and pick them off by there

[honest hatch]

witha sniper?

[dry flint]

yep

[honest hatch]

damn

thatll take a while

ill just get some money and do gunsmiths to get my mechanic up then

[dry flint]

yep it takes a while to clear them out, and also by the time you do. the place will be literally crawling with player scavs

you can just try to focus the roof ones, then itll open the water treatment for you

[honest hatch]

wheres the water treatment?

bc i need to get into here

[potent crater]

North

Trash map

Think of it rotated

Where right now when you look at it whats would be south is really west

[dry flint]

this is the proper orientation. and the whole area you posted is the water treatment plant. you need to go to the left one for your quest

[potent crater]

^^^

[honest hatch]

yea im trying to go there lol

i give up on this quest for now

[dry flint]

yah this quest is tough for bear. maybe try doing it at night. ai will have less vision and there will be barely and player scavs to disturb you

[honest hatch]

ive just been hugging that bottom wall trying to get to my location

killed a rogue that sees me and comes down

and i havent gotten any further cuz i died to pmc lolol 😭

[dry flint]

welp, 2nd times the charm ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[honest hatch]

should i run a sniper or like smth else

if im not gonna take out all the snipers from the left

[safe elk]

Just make sure you have a long rage scope

And good ammo

[honest hatch]

lps?

[dry flint]

ye thats good enough. rogues dont have helmets most of the time anyways. just get atleast a 3.5x/4x scope and you can snipe them. just be careful and try to utilize right hand lean. especially against the Grenade launcher rogues

[weak mirage]

I would use a dmr

The rogues push you now

Its gonna be terrible if you whiff a shot

If youre broke id use a rfb with a valday or elcan on

[dawn geyser]

Dip first 3 shots and pull back up

Practice with a high recoil gun offline

[weak mirage]

Hes lvl 6 He only has High recoil

[dawn geyser]

You start with SMGs

[weak mirage]

Yes

headshot machine

[dawn geyser]

SMGs are viable at any point of the wipe

Just depends on how you use them

[weak mirage]

Mp5 with pst is fine

Just aim head level

[tidal lagoon]

everything is viable, just less viable than other things

[inner mountain]

any low levels tryin to group up hmu I got 1500 hours but im late to wipe and I can run with you I can show you the ropes

[reef sequoia]

lies

everything is the same to headeyes

or if faceshield then toes

[tidal lagoon]

lies u can eat head eyes

[weak mirage]

1 buckshot pellet or a ap sx

For example

[frigid finch]

i really wish they would fix this stupid ass shit

[clever knoll]

define "this"

[sharp socket]

P90, mp7, SR-2m veresk and the vector

[clever knoll]

even 9mil is "usable" in the legs

with something like RIP or quakemaker

[frigid finch]

if you kill a rogue in water treatment, you basically are tagged and cursed for rogues, and they will all full on sprint to wherever you are

[clever knoll]

oh yeah idk thats just rouges being rouges

[frigid finch]

no it isnt

i have farmed rogues for multiple wipes

this shit is brand new

with the halloween patch

[clever knoll]

idk i only started with rouges last week so my opinion doesnt matter that much

you're telling me they used to be less annoying?

[frigid finch]

you basically just have to sit somewhere and wait for all the rogues to run to you

[small idol]

Lasslie they changed the ai with Halloween update for rogues

[frigid finch]

yea its fucking stupid

[small idol]

They are way easier now just run into a door and close it

[frigid finch]

i know its easier

[small idol]

They'll all push you

[frigid finch]

its still fucking stupid

i just sit in the cargo container near the entrance

and wait for them to all turn the corner

and there will be 7-12 rogues stacked up right there

[small idol]

Yep

[reef sequoia]

ye

works like a charm

[frigid finch]

i just hate having to exploit shit as the only viable option

its not fun

[reef sequoia]

everything in this game is exploit or die

[frigid finch]

yep, bsg are fucking god awful

its sad

[solid topaz]

everything is exploit or die is why it is good

[serene hatch]

can someone play with me and help me learn how to find extracts and like what loots worth taking, keeping and selling?

[shell shadow]

You EU or NA?

Or other

[sharp socket]

Ah

[reef sequoia]

loot value changes once you hit 15

so for now just spam quests until 15

and you good to go

[serene hatch]

NA

[serene hatch]

idk what that is

i cant do quests cause i can never extract

i can never find out where i am on the map and i focus the map for like 10 mins to try and find myself that i just die

[shell shadow]

Get rid of streamer items if you're not planning on getting kappa. Don't think the wrench is used for anything, and the gp coins are just money

[serene hatch]

that’s what i use

i can never find myself so i run out of time to loot or just die

[shell shadow]

She pays the most for everything, just doesn't take everything

[serene hatch]

and i always see a building that looks like the skeleton so i assume i’m at skeleton but then it’s not skeleton and i’m just lost

[reef sequoia]

streamer items are worth money tho

especially if you got no flea

since pre 15

[shell shadow]

I sell, some people like keeping them for quests or barter trades tho

[shell shadow]

Damn it's almost like I told him to sell them

[reef sequoia]

didn't read that far yet

no

you said get rid

as in don't pick em up

[shell shadow]

My options were "keep or sell"

Which one is closer to get rid

[reef sequoia]

throw

I'm 17 already so I know what I'm talking about

pick up all the lightbulbs

[shell shadow]

Where u see throw

[reef sequoia]

well

get rid of doesn't mean sell

[shell shadow]

It can?

He won't have them anymore

Cause he sold them off

He got rid of them

[reef sequoia]

I'm just fucking with you

I didn't see that he wrong that

anyway

yeah

pick up everything

always leave with a full bag

and just sell everything to therapist

[shell shadow]

I disagree

[reef sequoia]

it adds up

it's fine

[shell shadow]

Don't want to spend 30 minutes selling off a raid backpack

I'd rather go next raid

Get ez ledx

Stay broke

[reef sequoia]

yeah

well you lvl 20 or something

so you know what flea is

he is lvl 8

has no flea

so just sell everything to therapist

even if price is shit

[shell shadow]

True

[reef sequoia]

get his money up

to buy more shit kits

to get to 15

[shell shadow]

But he will spend 30 minutes wandering what to sell and what not to sell

That's legit why

He is asking us

[reef sequoia]

oh

just sell all

pre 15 items are worthless

[shell shadow]

Also wrong

Hideout

[reef sequoia]

post 15 money is worthless

[shell shadow]

Quests

[reef sequoia]

hideout max at 15

[shell shadow]

Cap

Junk boxes are a mil each

[reef sequoia]

easy

quests wise he will get lost in what items he will need

[shell shadow]

True and real

[reef sequoia]

20 min each time to check if he has the items

fuck that

sell all and find when you need it

you will learn spawns

and where to loot

[shell shadow]

First wipe maybe yes

[reef sequoia]

instead of omg Idk where I found this but yay

[shell shadow]

No I still disagree

All your takes are shit

[reef sequoia]

nah

you just bad

I'm a pro

[shell shadow]

I have yet to agree with you

[reef sequoia]

well ofc

cuz you mad cuz bad

duh

[shell shadow]

Fr

[reef sequoia]

mr "lvl 56"

anyone can write that themselves

[shell shadow]

True it's fake

[reef sequoia]

exactly

rekt

another lib rekt

anyway

sell all shit to keep nice stash

sell all guns that you wont run

cuz of gear fear

don't be tagged and cursed

and don't use M9A3

[shell shadow]

No

[reef sequoia]

mad cuz bad

[clever knoll]

mr lvl 17, yeah totally LOL

[reef sequoia]

oh damn

77??

holy shit

whats the exp farm for you?

but scav exp and pmc exp are different

[shell shadow]

You don't get pmc xp from scavving

Money

[reef sequoia]

loot

[shell shadow]

Your scav gets xp

Which does nothing

[reef sequoia]

to show people that you scav a lot

[shell shadow]

Your scav has completely different skill xp also

[open glade]

You do level up scav skills tho

[shell shadow]

Yea

[open glade]

So endurance over the wipe will increase

And allat

[shell shadow]

Yea but only on scav

[open glade]

Yeah

[olive owl]

Are you able to level up your scav because when I exfil I see exp and nothing happens

[weak mirage]

I mean it levels skills

But The scav wouldnt achieve anything Else from xp No

Thats why scaving is just a last resort thing once you Got The game Down

Its basically useless

Your scav skills doesnt transfer to pmc either

[keen fossil]

bro looped the map

You at least get some good loot

[velvet warren]

Lies, you live in europe, you basically live off walking

[keen fossil]

bruh woods has hella food

[velvet warren]

your ancestors look upon you with disappointment

[velvet warren]

thats where i always go when im low on provisions

walk it easy

[open glade]

Bike cities 👍👍👍

We have cycle lanes

E scooters too

Do you guys not have trolleybus?

Oh shit

Tram

I forgot the word

Yeah

Are they not good for you?

Here trams are amazing transport, hella cheap and always going, you can get them most times of the day to wherever you want

Sucks

[velvet warren]

ez

exactly brother
