[leaden solstice]

Hello guys, I'm new to this discord. Can you suggest a way to try the game before purchase it?

[white pond]

no

[blazing pollen]

playing alone is boring

[white pond]

playing duo is complicated

is that you

where are u

[solemn raptor]

there is no trial option for Tarkov unfortunatly for you.

[fervent raft]

not as a duo

that is easy to get over

its hard once youre more than 2

[white pond]

especially for new

[earnest spindle]

duo is easy there isnt loads of 'where r u' etc, when u play 3 or more i find that worse imo

[slim echo]

As of right now, there is no way to try the game before buying it.

[earnest spindle]

watch youtube, a lot of it.

[bold kernel]

Watch videos, go to a friends house try it there, make sure to run pc benchmark to make sure you can run it

[leaden solstice]

Thank you everyone for answers. About wipes. When was the last?

[solemn raptor]

last was august, next is sometime in december, unkown exact date, confirmed december.

[whole thistle]

You just have to learn to keep track of your teammates

[leaden solstice]

Thank you very much

[solemn raptor]

no worries :)

[olive owl]

Im pretty sure its the 11th

[solemn raptor]

nothing is confirmed afaik, if something was then everyone would be going absolute nuts in the general chats.

[olive owl]

Ok

Well that what bsg said

[solemn raptor]

oh you...
Link?

[olive owl]

Nvm

[solemn raptor]

mmhmm

@olive owl it's just unnecessary to be spreading unconfirmed info. Just makes everyone confused and nobody wins.

[olive owl]

Ok im sorry

[solemn raptor]

no worries, just don't do it again that's all :)

[white pond]

i replaced a quest

[olive owl]

[white pond]

it gave me the same quest but harder version

[olive owl]

Rip

[nimble minnow]

i really wish they didnt have the insurence guy SELL your stuff man WTF

now im down the insurence money and the guns

[wispy wedge]

im having a little trouble doing friend from the west since the only people i can find are very geared and im lvl 13

[clever knoll]

use a mosin if you want decent pen ammo at low levels, or just go factory with something like a kedr or ppsh

[clever knoll]

you can't beat this daily i got last wipe

[nimble minnow]

i am really shocked lol

so yea uh if u insure your stuff log in if u dont LOL he will sell it off

[clever knoll]

yup

you have about a week(?) to claim your insurance

otherwise it's gone

[nimble minnow]

yea it says that no where at all

had i known i may have logged on smh

[clever knoll]

it does, there's a timer where it says (out of time)

[mighty current]

I need help, EFT wont let me log in. it keeps saying suspicious actiity

[nimble minnow]

i mean i didnt know about the timer as i wasnt on the game i took a break as im trying to grind out wraith of the lich king wow before cataclysm

[clever knoll]

yeah it doesnt exactly tell you beforehand

[nimble minnow]

sadly lol it really should at least once the first time u buy insurence

i honestly thought the stuff would just be tossed back into my inventory automatically

[clever knoll]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/support/knowledge/451

[mighty current]

i tired that and it says i hae been blocked

[clever knoll]

in that case please contact bsg support either through the launcher or per email here: [e-mail]

[mighty current]

i was playing all day no problems then last night my ping jumps to 7000 and i report it now this

[clever knoll]

its probably not the most frustrating thing you'll learn playing tarkov, you can use the insurance return menu as a stash extension tho. i have like 4-5 kits sitting in there that i'm not claiming on purpose.

[olive cape]

do i need 700 pilgrims stacked inside of each other or should i sell them?

[clever knoll]

you need one FIR, sell the others

[dull swallow]

keep them

[olive cape]

I never really go on pmc loot runs or anything so i dont need the space

[solemn raptor]

@nimble minnow sometimes it's better to not insure items just to save you the hassle of having to re-use/sell the items you get back :P

[nimble minnow]

i spent a lot of money on the insurence and on those guns though had i just been made aware

[nimble minnow]

lol whys that

[solemn raptor]

maybe time to stop no-lifeing the scav?

[clever knoll]

well then open a support ticket or something with your complaint, i can't really change how the game works 🤷‍♀️

[solemn raptor]

uh, what? I just told you?

[olive cape]

i shall do whatever i want and nothing u can do about it

[solemn raptor]

copy that!

[nimble minnow]

sounds pointless the feature is intentional

[nimble minnow]

why would getting my stuff back be a hassle

[solemn raptor]

because you have to make room in your stash in order to fit the stuff. And since insurance isn't free...

sometimes you're better off not insuring

[nimble minnow]

oh your assuming im getting more in my stash then i loose lol

[solemn raptor]

I assume worst case :)

[nimble minnow]

trust me ive only extracted like 1 or 2 times

[clever knoll]

alt click to equip

[solemn raptor]

nono.. I already have a loadout on me.

the only thing I really get back in insurance is M32s though haha

[clever knoll]

i usually just sell whatever comes back if i dont need/want it

as a low level, everything comes back anyway

[nimble minnow]

i take in a weapon not worth stealing the cheap 20k rifle lol so it doesnt really get stolen

[clever knoll]

so why waste money buying new stuff

[solemn raptor]

yeah, but you need some space in your inventory then, I literally have no space at all. Right now I'm using my PMC as extra stash space

[clever knoll]

well then that's a privileged issue to have

also maybe get off your scav then?

[solemn raptor]

I usually don't die a lot, so I will switch my insured M32 with other people's M32s, insurance fraud.
So the vast majority of my insurance is just M32s.

[clever knoll]

or just sell stuff in your stash that's collecting dust

[nimble minnow]

the vast amount of mine are those uh i forget the name but the cheap rifle with a built in mag

[solemn raptor]

I.. uh.. never really got on it? I've done maybe 10 scav raids this entire wipe.

[solemn raptor]

All my stuff is FIR items that I keep for the daily find and transfer quests. I've got so much barter stuff that I can complete almost every handover mission without doing anything :P

[nimble minnow]

i have only extracted once as a scav and all i got was food and a bolt action shotgun

[solemn raptor]

Don't mess with the Toz...

[nimble minnow]

my PMC poor guy has never survived

[nimble minnow]

huh?

[clever knoll]

if your pmc is just stash space then how do you play the game?

[solemn raptor]

that's the shotgun you got

[nimble minnow]

wait i did get a uh AR i forget what one with that scav run but honestly ive not taken it in

[solemn raptor]

I have clocked in about 40 hours in tarkov over the last 4 days, I have played 0 raids.

[nimble minnow]

what do u mean dont mess with it

[nimble minnow]

are u a pure scav player or something?

[solemn raptor]

It's a ferocious weapon, not to be underestimated.

[nimble minnow]

i have a feeling this is sarcasm

[solemn raptor]

like I said, I've got less than 10 scav raids I think, it's not a lot anyways.

[solemn raptor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3ALCNoHgUM

[nimble minnow]

then what do u even do with tarkov if u dont raid lol

[clever knoll]

why "play" the game then? im sure you have better things to do than sit in your stash for hours a day?

[solemn raptor]

testing, a whole lot of testing.

[clever knoll]

GLaDOS moment

[nimble minnow]

ok thats pretty op

[solemn raptor]

I've been doing nothing but trying to figure out what the best weapon bullet combo is...

[clever knoll]

svt lps

done

[solemn raptor]

Portal!!! One of the best games ever imo

I love GLaDOS

<3

[solemn raptor]

no, not even remotely close.

regardless, there is no one definite answer. It depends on so many factors.

[nimble minnow]

i havent learned stuff like how to look away from a scope without unscoping and such

[wispy wedge]

how do i get to dorms without much pvp?i

i need to do golden swag

[clever knoll]

honestly as a new player don't worry about stuff like that, but to answer your question press "freelook" (mmb by default)

[solemn raptor]

@clever knoll #beginners-chat message
^ that's the explanation for what bullet weapon combo you should be using.

[nimble minnow]

ah i see

[solemn raptor]

so uh, the answer is actually extreamly simple, yet nobody seems to understand it.
Don't run
If you do that I'm quite confident you'll get your zibbo without issue.

[wispy wedge]

okok

how much time do i wait?

[solemn raptor]

you don't wait, you walk

just walk

as long as you don't run, you will surivive.

[wispy wedge]

okok

[nimble minnow]

bushes are your friends if u see a scav hide because they LOVE to headshot

[wispy wedge]

thanks

[nimble minnow]

scavs are 360 no scope AI u dont taunt them

[solemn raptor]

@wispy wedge so.. if you run, and if you die. Don't say nobody tried to help you...

[wispy wedge]

yes

im running a scav loadout so it dosent even matter if i die

[solemn raptor]

aaaand there we go, throw the one usable advice the hell out of the window.

[nimble minnow]

ok dont do as i do dont shoot the scavs u will get a bad rep

[solemn raptor]

only when playing as a scav yourself* important to note

[wispy wedge]

nono

[nimble minnow]

i have a bad rep

[white pond]

totally not cheating right

[wispy wedge]

its because i dont have money

[white pond]

turns and taps instantly

[nimble minnow]

lets just say i did that myself and yea i have bad rep

like .18

[white pond]

this guy cheating fr

[solemn raptor]

impossible to tell without video evidence, preferably of the entire raid.

[white pond]

how do u turn and head tap in less than a second

[white pond]

he didnt know until i shot at him

[solemn raptor]

@white pond ^

[white pond]

he had lapua magnum

are u dum

[nimble minnow]

idk how someone would clip a whole raid even mine only goes back 2 minutes

[viral saffron]

Dude

[white pond]

he didnt know

he was looking somewhere else

[viral saffron]

You can't just call cheats because ur salty and you died

[solemn raptor]

recording.

[white pond]

he turned and tapped me

[solemn raptor]

somebody get's it

[nimble minnow]

i dont have the kind of storage to record it all LOL

[viral saffron]

Not everyone cheats

A lot of people cheat but that's not an excuse for your death 100% of the time

[solemn raptor]

Unless you're very paranoid about cheaters, there's no reason to record a raid :P

[white pond]

u think im calling out everyone?

i died hundreds of times

[solemn raptor]

good on you

[white pond]

no one turned and tapped me in less than a second while looking completely opposite side

[nimble minnow]

my clip software medal shadow records and with a tap i can clip the last 2 minutes thats what i use tbh

[viral saffron]

The fact that he let you see him makes me doubt he cheats

[solemn raptor]

works for rage hacking, not that well for soft hacking

[white pond]

he was on car exit

[nimble minnow]

no idea what a soft hack is lol all i know is i die alot so

[white pond]

looking at the village shacks

completely no cover

literally ran up to the road

turned and tapped me

[viral saffron]

Oh you "ran"?

[white pond]

no

[viral saffron]

Maybe he heard you?

[white pond]

i made no sound other than shooting him

he only heard my shooting

[viral saffron]

Okay, I'm gonna stop arguing here I mean we ain't gonna change shiet

[solemn raptor]

@nimble minnow debriefing raids is something I can go on about for literal hours. It's the monolog of a lifetime.
The better you are, the further away your deaths will be from the moment you make your fatal mistake.
If I die, I usually look back 20-30 minutes to find the mistake I made that caused the death.
Sometimes longer
Sometimes I have to look at a couple raids previous. Literally.

[viral saffron]

U died and that's it, cheater or not, you're dead

[white pond]

to a cheater

[solemn raptor]

word

[nimble minnow]

wild

[solemn raptor]

@white pond going to keep on saying it.... ^

[white pond]

i cant record

[solemn raptor]

then you can't come here complaining about you dying to cheaters either.

[white pond]

i can

[nimble minnow]

id say u at least need a clip that at the very least is the last 30 seconds

[solemn raptor]

I'm playing a slightly different game then everyone else though. I usually survive 8 or so raids in a row without dying. It's not the tarkov that you or anyone else in this chat room are familiar with.

[white pond]

i would if my game wasnt going 30fps when someone is near

[olive owl]

streets in a nutshell

[nimble minnow]

i see

[nimble minnow]

lol

[solemn raptor]

@white pond Like I said, if you can't record there's no reason to come here and complain. We can't do anything. It's a waste of time, the only thing you're going to achieve is to have people like me try to explain to you why you can't be doing what you're doing.

It's pointless.

[viral saffron]

o7

[nimble minnow]

yea a screenshot and your hearsay is not how do i put it very helpful even to the devs

[solemn raptor]

it was a pleasure working with you ;)

[white pond]

get me a 3000$ pc so i can record and get 60fps

[solemn raptor]

what the hell

[olive owl]

Im with you on this one

[nimble minnow]

i dont know what your expecting them to ban a dude because u have a screenshot and claim he cheated

[clever knoll]

wdym bsg doesnt ban off a single screenshot?

[solemn raptor]

@white pond if you think it's a cheater, press the report button, and move on. Keep calm, and carry on.
If it worked in a world war, it works in tarkov as well.
(yes i am aware of the story behind the saying, just.... deal with it)

[nimble minnow]

i mean i would assume they dont

[solemn raptor]

I think it was a joke..

[viral saffron]

o7

[slim echo]

Regardless of your ability to record them; we can not do anything with cheaters here.
Your only (and most viable) option is to report them in-game after they've killed you and move on.

[solemn raptor]

^

[olive owl]

^

[viral saffron]

If you're tilted off dying, this game ain't for you

[nimble minnow]

i see

[clever knoll]

also bsg have said multiple times, they only ban based on reports on the death screen. if you didnt report them there, theres nothing they can do.

[olive owl]

dying is part of the learning curve

[solemn raptor]

;)

[viral saffron]

Oh my Lena what are you doing here

Back to the dungeon

[clever knoll]

LOL

[solemn raptor]

@white pond the only thing we can do for you IF you provide evidence, is peace of mind that you probably were killed by a cheater, or by a legit player.

[clever knoll]

but honestly 60% of the playerbase will call anyone that kills them a cheater

sooo

[olive owl]

that is true

[viral saffron]

It's true. I'm the best ever and everyone who kills me is cheating

[clever knoll]

exactly

so wait, am I a cheater?

[viral saffron]

U haven't killed me before and you couldn't if you tried

[clever knoll]

not yet ;3

[solemn raptor]

absolutely. Worst part, a lot of the time you can avoid cheater deaths. I treat them less as cheaters, and more as a really powerful player.
I never pick a fight I can't win, if I suspect a cheater is near I'm not going give him the opportunity to pick a fight with me.

[clever knoll]

i mean that's also not true, but i wont argue

[solemn raptor]

emphasis on a lot of the time

Cheaters usually don't want to kill you, because that increases the chance of them getting caught. They kill you because you're in their way, they don't go hunting.

RMT cheaters anways..

[heavy bear]

better to have high ping or low ping???

noob question not a puter guy

[solemn raptor]

actually depends. AFAIK anyways.
For peakers advantage having higher ping is going to create more desync.
For literally everything else the lower the ping the better.

[heavy bear]

TY

[white pond]

this game is so ass

[solemn raptor]

get a grip dude

[serene hatch]

anyone want to play and help me learn the maps and loot?

[clever knoll]

recommend you look/post in #pvp-lfg

[serene hatch]

ok thx

[fallow knot]

Question for Blunt Damage: is there a table/calculator for such a thing? I'm looking into PS12As that do 165 flesh damage. and wonder if it could damage the head over 35 even against a lvl 4 helmet.

[small idol]

nah

blunt damage is negligable

[fallow knot]

roger doger.

[karmic lion]

For Prapor's Delivery from the past - Can I collect the package a bunch of times for mutliple attempts at planting it at factory? or can i only collect and try to plant it one at a time?

[fringe jay]

mutliple

[karmic lion]

Tx

[loud crystal]

keep this key or sell?

[dull swallow]

sell if your not going for kappa

[zenith willow]

If an item mentions someone's name, or could be someone's name, its probably a streamer item (necessary for kappa) so do with that as you will

[wary pewter]

If anyone has any questions or are straight up new to the game feel free to message me

Is it ok to sell in to traders or there is something else?

[wide mica]

hold up let me try that

[river rampart]

That file holds the install path which is your problem

[wide mica]

its still not letting me change it

[river rampart]

You can not open the launcher?

[velvet warren]

sell it

[wide mica]

no i cant change the install path

it just stayed the same

[river rampart]

even in the launcher settings, change it to an empty folder?

Oh I remember now

This is a registry problem

[spice thorn]

does anyone know a good vid showing peak inputs for fast peaks? I cant find reliable info thats not outdated / not applicable this wipe

[wide mica]

?

[velvet warren]

you could try alt+E/Q but its as fast as it can go tbf

idk if it can go faster

[spice thorn]

It somehow can go faster but idk how to replicate it

They call it like a ferrari peak or whatever

[river rampart]

choose "set the path to existing game installation" and choose an empty folder

And you said you deleted that settings file?

[wide mica]

ya but it keeps coming back

[wide mica]

this happens whenever i try to set path to existing game installation

[river rampart]

try from the settings in the top right on your name

[wide mica]

ok

[wide mica]

it just douse the same thing

[river rampart]

Open the registry editor and go to

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\EscapeFromTarkov

and see what it says for install location on the right

The other option is reinstalling but it may persist

[wide mica]

where is the registry editor

i dont see it in my setings

[river rampart]

We should stay away from that since you don't know.

Please reinstall the launcher

[wide mica]

ok

[river rampart]

reinstalling should reset this problem

[wide mica]

it was never installed tough

[river rampart]

The launcher

[wide mica]

oh

[wide mica]

its still there even after i uninstalled and reinstalled it

[river rampart]

you can't click change?

[wide mica]

no

[river rampart]

call me I'll walk you through the fix

[wide mica]

ok

[olive cape]

i'm crafting something in my hideout and i had to leave the game, so i switched my generator off while it had 30 minutes left and it reset the craft back to 7 hours will it still craft without the generator on or will it just reach to a point and freeze?

[small idol]

u can turn the gen back on and itll go back to 30 min

it will finish crafting anyway though

[olive cape]

so i can just leave the game and close my pc and by tomorrow after 7 hours it should be done?

[small idol]

should be unless ur making the lighthouse dongle

[olive cape]

nope just an ak-74n

[small idol]

should be fine

[olive cape]

alr cheers

[wooden flicker]

beginners #2 i got whoever for casual assistance

[fervent raft]

isnt that in the lavatory

or is it the workbench

either way it wont fuck anything

[timber stirrup]

What is better for bodyshots?
54R BT or .366 BP-M?
.366 can one shot kill if penetrates, but 54R has better penetration

[weak mirage]

Bt

Crazy bullet

[foggy thicket]

do u get fee back if something doesnt sell on the flea market?

[weak mirage]

No

[pearl palm]

the guns (really just 1) is better
for 54r bt ur stuck with svt/avt/svd that can match the vpo

just bullet wise, bt is way better (APM can only one shot torso against lvl 3)

[stoic patio]

what to use to stop odolbos 2's health degeneration

[shrewd fog]

@stoic patio propital

also, keep in mind, OB2 does -1 for 1800 secs, so youll need a decent bit of them if you stick around in raid too long

[peak flicker]

whats happening, I am on lighthouse and tried to shoot the rogues there but they just ate like 4 headshots. they also wont shoot at me. They will look at me and say voicelines but nothing else. I can shoot the scavs and they shoot back but not the rogues

[keen fossil]

Bugged

Probably

[foggy thicket]

they have been bugged for a while

not every raid but a lot of the times i had the same issue. sometimes they are killable while being like that and they all stand in one place together. biggest haul from lighthouse ever ahahaa

[gritty topaz]

just spawned and died after walking out the door, is this a player scav or an ai? why did it shoot me?

[vale ginkgo]

pmc player

not scav

[gritty topaz]

dont pmcs have orange names?

[vale ginkgo]

nah only people with EOD

[gritty topaz]

ffs I thought eod was the crown or whatever

[vale ginkgo]

standard accounts are grey like that

[gritty topaz]

ty

[vale ginkgo]

oh maybe the other account type is orange too

[gritty topaz]

appreciate the help, many confusing deaths now make sense

[vale ginkgo]

oh also you can tell if something is an AI or a player by whether or not there is a report button

[unkempt egret]

The report triangle means it's a player, the white name means he does not have the EOD version of the game. A player scav has the scav name and the player name between brackets (eg Blyat Blyatman (IcE)). So it's a non eod PMC that got you.

[small bison]

For everyone to know please just please check yourself if your friend says he has the right keys for a quest door we've been trying to do dilivery from the past quest and we've been doing it for hours but keep dying and when we actually got there without dying for the first time in hours it doesn't let him use the key and we were just going with loot to die and die and achieve nothing

[whole thistle]

pmc

[keen fossil]

Lmfao

[gritty topaz]

In hindsight, the report button being there makes much more sense that it’s a person 😂 thanks

[reef sequoia]

what's delivery from the past?

[dusty spruce]

what the heck lol

whats bird eye

killed him on my scav run?

[glossy tapir]

thats a goon nice job

what map

[dusty spruce]

woods

i was trying to do my quest for propor

for finding the convoy/usec camp

[whole thistle]

one of the rogue bosses

surprised the other 2 didnt kill you

[dusty spruce]

oh a different one killed me

[whole thistle]

lol

[dusty spruce]

i just thought it was people

so i shot someone from a distance, ran over

killed someone running up and immediately died

[whole thistle]

this is them

you killed the one on the right

[dusty spruce]

yeah that looks right

he had something on his backpack

thats intense

i wish i woulda been able to kill the other two

[whole thistle]

they have really nice stuff if you can kill them

birdeye is supposed to snipe you while the other 2 rush

i guess you caught them by surprise lol

[dusty spruce]

i guess so lol

oh well

i died immediately after

[reef sequoia]

mark them on goon tracker websites please

[dusty spruce]

i have no idea what that is

[reef sequoia]

websites that help make this quest not complete dogshit

[whole thistle]

those bosses rotate between a few maps so people made a site to report sightings of them

[dusty spruce]

i see

i have no idea how to do a submission

i also have no idea what to run for kits now

i have basically no gear lol

[reef sequoia]

you that new?

or just tough luck?

[dusty spruce]

yes

i have like

less than 10 hours on the game in total, maybe?

[candid shadow]

Streets

[reef sequoia]

wat

[dusty spruce]

streets is fun, but confusing

[candid shadow]

Streets is just free money man

[dusty spruce]

i thought i knew the right side of the map but i got lost

what should i do on streets

[whole thistle]

ive barely played since streets came out but i like the map cause theres so many street signs and stores as landmarks lol

[candid shadow]

Loot or put some bullets in that fatass known as Kaban

[dusty spruce]

that'd be great

if i had bullets that could kill him

[candid shadow]

85hp head

[dusty spruce]

ah

well

if i live i live

but if not, im pretty sure im just doing hatchet runs until i get lucky LOL

[candid shadow]

oh hell nah don’t go for Kaban if you’re that broke

[dusty spruce]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

too late

risking it for the biscuit

tarkov experience

[candid shadow]

First few times going for Kaban can be rough

[dusty spruce]

lol

[candid shadow]

Especially if you’re tryna do it solo

[dusty spruce]

yeah, I have no idea how to even tell what bosses are what

ill be honest, ill probably die in this run on streets

[whole thistle]

they all spawn on specific maps in specific places

[dusty spruce]

i only have an mp8

mp9*

[languid owl]

i killed kaban and all his gaurds for the first time yesterday and then i died to a cheating player scav lol

[candid shadow]

Kaban is very fat so when you see him you’ll know it’s him

[dusty spruce]

LOL

[whole thistle]

I LOVE ESCAPE FROM TARKOV

[dusty spruce]

good to know

[languid owl]

kabans a baddie

[whole thistle]

its true lmao

also big lmg

i forgot kaban existed tbh

every time i think of him i just imagine prapor 💀

[languid owl]

i dont like streets at all

they ruined it with the expansion

[dusty spruce]

i accidentally walked past kaban's camp once

i found out cuz i walked over land mines

that wasn't fun

[candid shadow]

He also runs like a handicapped chimp just fyi so try not to die of laughter seeing him running since it could get you killed

[dusty spruce]

LOLL

okay

here we go

[candid shadow]

Gl bro

Get that fatass

[dusty spruce]

welp, some randmo player killed me but thank you for the fun idea

[candid shadow]

How much money you got now bro?

[dusty spruce]

uhhh, probably like 150k. I'm doing a scav run on streets now, so maybe ill get some decent loot

[candid shadow]

Damn

[dusty spruce]

i have an ak with a sight?

but its like a vepr 10 round mag

idk

haven't loaded in yet

[candid shadow]

150k won’t last long damn

[dusty spruce]

oh yeah

i know

im probably just gonna do hatchet runs, bait a scav, hit em in the head, and run around and try and extract lol

[reef sequoia]

that is some getho shit that has 5% chance to work

look up tagged and cursed

[dusty spruce]

oh i know tagged and cursed lol

its still fun as hell

[candid shadow]

It sounds depressing ngl

[dusty spruce]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

im not gonna sit here and beg for people to help me, but i still wanna play

[whole thistle]

its fun until your free therapist healing runs out

[candid shadow]

Only because you’re doing it just for the reason that you’re broke as shit

[dusty spruce]

LOL

thats true

[whole thistle]

you just gotta cycle between scav and pmc so you have enough money for kits

[dusty spruce]

the problem is, i never make it out alive LOL

im pretty sure i haven't extracted once today... i only have 2 survived raids so far

[candid shadow]

Damn

[dusty spruce]

its okay, i just have a massive learning curve ahead

[candid shadow]

The learning part gets easier the more help you get

[dusty spruce]

fair

[whole thistle]

how many raids do you have total?

[candid shadow]

Don’t ask for shit just ask to play w someone and hope they ain’t as shit as you 🤷‍♂️

[dusty spruce]

LOL

the problem is, i'd end up accidentally killing my teammates and id feel bad

[dusty spruce]

maybe like 45?

[candid shadow]

If they’re rich it’s fine

[dusty spruce]

i mean like, yeah, but i'd probably die with the gear LOL

[candid shadow]

Shi if I get teamkilled by accident sure it sucks but idc I’ll let you keep the gear if you can get out w it

That’s not an invitation to teamkill me and say it’s an accident btw

[dusty spruce]

LOL

its not something i try to do on purpose

[whole thistle]

ill make sure to invite you next time i need some gear

[reef sequoia]

I swear they threw that nade 😐

[candid shadow]

Honestly worth it if you like actually good kits

Gotta make it believable tho

[whole thistle]

lmao

[candid shadow]

😂

Reminds me of the time my friend tried nading Kaban and the nade bounced back towards my friend and he accidentally ran into the nade😂

[umbral ember]

If there’s someone that would be willing to join me in woods so I can get that Jaeger message for Mechanic, that would be awesome

[pure marsh]

do you need to actually extract with it or does it count if you die

the letter

[umbral ember]

I have no idea. I was planning to stick it in my alpha

[reef sequoia]

you gotta get away with it

quest items are in your quest inventory

you can put it in your stash quest inventory but tbh don't matter

you never need to do that tho

[pure marsh]

ok i wasn't sure cuz i did the pocket watch and it never showed up in my inv while doing it

[umbral ember]

I walked for 10 minutes earlier, finally made it to the shack alive, but didn’t see the dude camping behind it before he blew my head off

[pure marsh]

unfortunate circumstances

i think imma take a crack at this quest

[reef sequoia]

what servers you guys on?

[pure marsh]

Nae

[reef sequoia]

oh

[pure marsh]

u on eu?

[reef sequoia]

might hop on if you need help

[pure marsh]

could you

[reef sequoia]

in a bit tho

[pure marsh]

just for this one

[pure marsh]

👍

[unreal mauve]

I have the same issue

[rain fossil]

found first red keycard on kaban chubby self FAT LOOT

[hollow mauve]

hi guys i really want to buy the game but i don't know if my pc can run it or how well it can run it, can you guys tell me if i can play it with these specs?

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650
16GB RAM
Intel Core i5-9400F

[reef sequoia]

close to my specs

only cpu bit older

low/mid settings

[rain fossil]

upgrade your ram to 32 and and dumb down graphic settings and youll be fine

[reef sequoia]

16 ram is goat

[rain fossil]

yeah 2 of them lol

[reef sequoia]

(too lazy to upgrade)

[rain fossil]

32 if you wanna run streets

[reef sequoia]

I run streets on 16

[pure marsh]

i think the low res settings help a lot now

[reef sequoia]

yep

[rain fossil]

they do its what i have to do to run streets

[hollow mauve]

How many FPS do you play it on?

[umbral ember]

I have 8GB lol

[pure marsh]

how are you playing this game

[umbral ember]

Like this

spawn

die

[pure marsh]

me 2

[umbral ember]

exit game

[pure marsh]

but like performance wise

[reef sequoia]

60ish

[umbral ember]

It’s a little choppy but tolerable. Runs factory just fine

[reef sequoia]

dip here and there but mostly run it fine

if I drop down my settings more I would have 70+ish

[hollow mauve]

alright,thank you very much for the help

[dull stream]

How do I find out where extractions are?

[reef sequoia]

google mostly

[tired anchor]

yo

[trail sierra]

ive been using a live map

[loud crystal]

when u craft stuff its considered found in raid yeah?

[bold kernel]

Yes.

[loud crystal]

phew good, took me like a few days to get the salewas i needed, kept getting really unlucky crafting the last one

[cunning plume]

I have a question, I play at a gaming cafe and sometimes when i try and log into tarkov i get a 20+ hour ban when i login (with correct info). Is there any way to authenticate myself or am i just SOL?

[weak mirage]

Maybe a vpn? Im not sure at all tho

[west turret]

any newer players need help? or level 30s tasking. down for anything but LH

[copper blaze]

i need some help learning maps and exits

[west turret]

yo

[copper blaze]

hey

[west turret]

im in 2 man squad 15

its down a ways

[pulsar slate]

Is it worth maxing it out?

[dry flint]

at this point in the wipe, with only 1 month left of it remaining, financially speaking, no

but then again, bitcoin prices have gone up from they were previously. from sub 400k to now around 450k+, i havent seen the math done with the new higher sell prices

[wooden lagoon]

Anyone else start late this wipe and on early tasks?

[white pond]

Me

[fallen cargo]

@pulsar slate you mean going for 25/25 yea not a bad idee but if you want to go 50/50 you need to play labs alot to get the 2 rare items and need to spend like 10 mil on solarpower and bitcoin part 3

• buy 25 card at around 280k

[proud thicket]

if u sell stuff on AH , is there a certain time limit to claim the money?

[fallen cargo]

ah ???

[proud thicket]

flea

[fallen cargo]

if im not mistaken 3 days

same like the time you got to claim rewards from dealers

[proud thicket]

okay

so theres no stress if i forgot to claim the money? i just logged

logging on ina bit

[fallen cargo]

yea

like i sel heeps of bleach or wire and dont play for like 1/2days stil can claim the monny

[snow siren]

i need help doing my first raid this wipe, im a bit unsure whether ill get myself killed so need some reassurance along the way, not brand new but may aswell be (GMT)

[solemn raptor]

Death is part of the journey. Let it fuel you.

[snow siren]

i just dont want to lose all my stuff instantly but i dont know what to bring anyway

[weak mirage]

Its really hard to teach someone everything from scratch

Youre gonna have to Watch some videos

Or jump into it

[solemn raptor]

I think the average survival rate in tarkov is about 40%, meaning on average you will die 6 out of 10 raids. You're going to die with whatever you bring, just part of the game.

[snow siren]

ive played previous wipes so i know the basics just actual playtime but doing it right is what im trying to find or just game knowledge

[solemn raptor]

It's going to take weeks, if not months haha

[weak mirage]

Basically yes

[mellow wigeon]

I mean this late into wipe, I would say yea if you have nothing else to spend ur rubles on. It’ll be fun to have it and have some income for the last month of wipe. It looks like bitcoins will start selling for 500k soon

[weak mirage]

I Think your best Bet is a sherpa or finding i homie on your level in lfg and learn together

[snow siren]

thats a good shout the sherpas are quite busyy so i never got a reply but ill try that

[sturdy junco]

if you are EU i can help you a bit with some games 🙂

[snow siren]

just got a sherpa message me offering help so ill be with him for a bit but if your on still later im up for it

[fervent raft]

lovely

[fallen cargo]

@snow siren when starting out even a sherpa wil ask if you playd som games so you are cofmy whit the contros and have atleast a basick understanding of the game (how to shoot how to pick up how to relode.....) also qwestions you may have

then they can start there and see waht playstyle gos wel whit you

i got 6k houres and got 44% sr but it also depends on what you do if i play slower and avoid fights it wil go upif i play more labs (try and play3 raids a day atm) it wil go down

in general new players sr ratio is around 25/30%

it wil take atleast 250 houres to learn the game basick map flows and combat

[snow siren]

@fallen cargo i understand, ive played a couple offline games to practice head tapping scavs and reteaching myself the routes i uses to take on woods, its just general situation reading and combat skill is my issue as without that i will die often which i know will happen but id like to survive more and make the most out of raids

[solemn raptor]

I'm actually willing to bet that if you give a person the correct set of information, they are able to get an 70+ % Sr rating within 50 hours of playing.

[fallen cargo]

yea but you probly wil avoid all fight at that

i can get 70sr easy if i avoid all fights

@snow siren you only get beter if you fight im helping a guy that is afraid of fighting i started helping him when he was lvl 8 now hes lvl 27 he had a sr stat of 68% when he was lvl 8 around 30 raids in now he has a sr of 45/50 if im not mistaken but he starting to have fights

[fervent raft]

not in 50 hours

unless they play one map only

[solemn raptor]

@fallen cargo wops wrote wrong. Meant 83% Sr with a PMC KD of 5, within 50 hours.

[fallen cargo]

you only get that high of a sr if you are eithere verry good at pvp or you rat or you avoid pvp

[fervent raft]

impossible

[solemn raptor]

No, all maps. Only condition being that it can't be factory or shoreline

[fallen cargo]

or hacking

[solemn raptor]

Haha, far from

[fallen cargo]

you cant learn the game and play al maps and have that high of a srand kil spree when this is first time you play tarcof

[fervent raft]

what do you want him to do with his 50 hours?

extract camp

then maybe

otherwise no

[fervent raft]

this is the truth

and no matter how good you are at killing people

you wont get a high sr if you move

[fallen cargo]

in the first 50 houres most pees have even trobel healing in a fight or post fight

[solemn raptor]

First 50 hours learn the basic mechanics of the game. I.e, health systems, looting system, weapon system. So first 50 hours will be familiarzation. Once those 50 hours have elapsed, wipe the account and it's of to the races, every raid counts.

[fallen cargo]

again not first 50 houres

we are talking about 2 difrent things

if i talk first 50 houres i mean jou just pickt up the game and play it for the first time

[solemn raptor]

Hell yeah

[fervent raft]

not gonna happen

every new player plays like their life depends on it

[solemn raptor]

Isn't it crazy, I sound like a maniac, but all im saying is truth

[fervent raft]

and they all die all the time

[solemn raptor]

If you give me a new player willing to learn, I could make him a beast in 50 hours.

[fallen cargo]

what are your stats then screen shot it

[solemn raptor]

I'll be home in 1 hour. My account stats aren't the best, done a lot of nonsense midwipe. I've got screenshots of early wipe if you're interested though

[torn rapids]

no one cares about early wipe

that's goober content

Smeden has 5k hours n he dies all the time

Bro has a 23% SR

[fervent raft]

i only got 2,2k xD but i die a lot

[fallen cargo]

im not good and not bad i train a lot of newbeys and traing som1 from lvl 1 never playd to a beest in tarcof take more time then 50 houre beleeve me

[fervent raft]

these are my current ones

[torn rapids]

i haven't played in a few weeks

[fervent raft]

but i cant see anyone getting a 5kd for pmcs without crabbing the shit out of every raid

not even someone like desmond

theres just too many people not moving

i probably play too risky

could get it higher

but never 5

[fallen cargo]

im a runner im a trackstar in tarcof and that half of my deads coming around a corner and just floping ovezr

[fervent raft]

yeah i do the same dont worry

[torn rapids]

tarkov is boring

when arena

[fervent raft]

im actually hyped for arena

its gonna be a nice break from the playstyle thats meta rn

[torn rapids]

yeeep

[fervent raft]

if they nail the arena

im gonna be non stop playing it

[torn rapids]

same

but I might have to go back home for a week in december

which sucks

no pc

[fervent raft]

i assume its like

after christmas the wipe

so you probably wont miss much

[vestal basalt]

Hello. Does anyone have 15 minutes spare time to explain me the basics, please? i have just joined EFT and it's so hardd

[dawn geyser]

If you're looking for a teacher/someone to guide you in-raid ; you can check out #sherpa-info. They're official volunteers that will gladly teach you the game - They use a ticket system so there may be a tad bit of a wait time.

Alternatively, on the Sherpahub discord you may navigate to their #674275441367973891 (looking-for-group) or #673310157232406538 (looking-for-help) channels to find non-official sherpas that are offering help.
(Second set of channel links will not show properly until you join the Sherpahub Server)

[solemn raptor]

I beg to differ. I think I could train a guy in 50 hours who would beat almost anyone you throw at him under normal conditions.

[keen fossil]

That’s just not true

[fallen cargo]

??

[keen fossil]

Tarkov is more getting playtime in then anything to understand what to do in different fights

[fallen cargo]

@vestal basalt poke me

[solemn raptor]

I don't think so at all.

[keen fossil]

your just wrong then

[solemn raptor]

At some point yes, once you've understood what you're supposed to be doing, then practice is going to allow you to master the art. But practicing without having a set of knowledge to being with is like practicing golf in hopes of becmming a better sharpshooter.

[solemn raptor]

how?

[keen fossil]

bruh tarkov has many niche things you can do that takes time to understand and apply

[reef spoke]

There is a lot to be said about both experince gained over time and being taught how not to [redacted due to discord auto mod] up in the first place.

someone with 50 hours being taught by someone who knows their shit would gain signifigently more than just playing 200 hours on their own.

[solemn raptor]

yeah, if you're aimlessly doing stuff in hopes of some of it working, then you're going to use forever until you get anywhere.
if you know exactly what to do, it's just a matter of getting the controls and mechanics down in order to go and do it.

More experience is always going to be a profit, but the quality of that experience will depend massively.

[keen fossil]

Of course but saying I could train a guy in 50h to beat almost anyone is a vast overstatement

[reef spoke]

Hyperbolic for sure but not to far out of realility

A lot of people who have the 500- 1000 hours in game are still making pretty basic screw ups

[solemn raptor]

the matter of skill in tarkov is a very difficult subject to give a define answer to.
A guy who's been CQB'ing on labs for the last 10k hours isn't going to fall over in 50 hours.
However against a person who's trained for an alternate playstyle, can abuse the CQB master's downsides and defeat him. It's just a matter of stacking the cards in your favor.

[reef spoke]

Simply because "understanding how you're messing up" is difficult

[keen fossil]

stacking the cards in your favour is camping d2 with an impact

[weak mirage]

I was about to say

[solemn raptor]

absolutely. Debreifing is one of the most useful skills anyone can have.

Goes for any part of life, not just tarkov

[keen fossil]

in a 1v1 under normal conditions a player won’t win most with 50h of training

[weak mirage]

Stacking cards in your favor would be just not moving and tap The guy in The head

[reef spoke]

Against who? random guy in the raid?

[warm cosmos]

am i too late into wipe to start

[keen fossil]

Yeah

Your average tarkov gamer

[solemn raptor]

absolutely not. If the only thing you train on is exfil camping, you're not going to be surviving 10 raids in a row. You're going to get yourself killed on the way to the place.

[reef spoke]

No , you will have some disadvantages but some things will be easier

[keen fossil]

You can tell this kid doesn’t extract camp smh

[solemn raptor]

I'm usually the one who kill the extract campers :/

[reef spoke]

like not even bragging I might not be able to really understand what you mean by that because i've been here for 7 years and the gap I personally see between how a 0-250 player and a 250-1000 hour player isn't that large.

And this is me speaking as someone who has helped a bunch of people "get up to speed" as I see it.

[reef sequoia]

It would be harder to join early wipe

[keen fossil]

You gotta be fighting some dogshit ass extract campers

[reef spoke]

I will say the folks who have the hours in DO have a better sense of timing typically in raid.

which does matter alot.

[keen fossil]

I agree with this

The main thing about hours when they are in that low number is just map knowledge

[reef sequoia]

Hold w and call it a day

[clever knoll]

Starting late has some advantages, too. For example most of your task locations aren't going to be highly contested. Traders with lower level items won't be sold out, and also since everyone else is so geared killing someone can snowball into much more loot. I agree that starting late as a new player is more difficult, but use it as a learning experience for next wipe

[keen fossil]

but like your average ~300h tarkov gamer will probably win against a new player with 50h training

[reef spoke]

Yes and die to folks in bushes we all know the meme.

[reef sequoia]

Only if you deaf

[weak mirage]

Thats a joke

[reef spoke]

I'd put money on the 50 hour guy but I am biased.

[warm cosmos]

should i do leg meta then and try to use the best flesh rounds i can get?

[clever knoll]

Use whatever you're comfortable with

[warm cosmos]

ok

[keen fossil]

I tried playing w key for a bit it and keep dying to rats

[weak mirage]

Its just How it is

[reef spoke]

thats an option, PS 7.62x39 has (head eyes) a lot of high level players in good kit.

[keen fossil]

I may just be overestimating the average tarkov gamer but I think they’d win

[solemn raptor]

completely depends on what sort of training this person has gotten....

[reef sequoia]

Lvl 2 prappyboi

[reef spoke]

also literally on damn near every 7.62x39 scav in the game

[clever knoll]

If you enjoy x gun, use said gun even if it's not the best. You could have the most meta loadout, but still die because you're not acquainted to it. Ofc gear > skill in this game, but in the end we're all playing to have fun.

[reef spoke]

^ valid

[reef sequoia]

Fun? Whats fun

[keen fossil]

Real

[clever knoll]

Ikr

Haven't heard of it in years

[keen fossil]

I just die a lot and complain on this server

[reef sequoia]

I just die to head eyes some more

And drink myself silly

[reef spoke]

Gear simply allows you to "push the edge of your abilities"

[reef sequoia]

Real

[keen fossil]

Just like me fr

[reef sequoia]

Booo

[reef spoke]

It doesn't make you better, it lets you fuck up more and get away with it.

[clever knoll]

Yup

[reef sequoia]

This

There we go

An actual take??

[keen fossil]

Good Gear allows you to comp neglect like haft the bullets in the game

Lmfao

[clever knoll]

Me vs the guy who said it louder smh.. /s

[reef sequoia]

That nobody uses

[reef spoke]

heheheh

[solemn raptor]

gear vs skill? Not really a factor here.
if you're skilled you will have the ability to bring better gear, giving you more of a chance to win.
Gear is just an effect of skill imo

[keen fossil]

Even ammo people do use

[reef sequoia]

Fake

[keen fossil]

gear wins most fights

[weak mirage]

Skill left tarkov a Long time ago

[reef sequoia]

Gear includes good ammo

[solemn raptor]

absolutely not...

[keen fossil]

a kid with a adar and paca is gonna lose to the kid with the thermal, alytn and killa mask 100% of the time

[weak mirage]

Yes

[keen fossil]

tarkov isn’t really a skill based game

[reef spoke]

Anyways back to the 50 vs average hypothetical.

To me I think you could teach someone enough of "how to read the environment and not get caught with your pants down" to win against a "never had help before " 500 hour andy more than 51% of the time.

[reef sequoia]

Yeah if you hunting timmys ofx

[solemn raptor]

yeah, probably. But the kid with a thermal and altyn doesn't get that gear from thin air now does he?

[tulip kettle]

why is the blackrock rig so popular even if it doesnt have as much space others

[weak mirage]

He Got it from a quest

[keen fossil]

probably not

[reef sequoia]

No

500 too much

150? Sure

[weak mirage]

The 2x2 slot and The fact that you Can Buy it off traders

[reef sequoia]

I play with too many timmies

For a long time

Started when they were 20h

1 is at 400h now and still knows nothing

Lots of em 300h and keep up with me

[keen fossil]

Tarkov has no skill until you get high/max skills then you start doing movement stuff

[clever knoll]

No need to call me out like that smh

[reef sequoia]

It just comes down to the timmy

[reef sequoia]

Didnt play with you since the start

[reef sequoia]

You already know your shit

[weak mirage]

The skill in The game rn is literally to give as little info as possible to The other player

Which sucks

[clever knoll]

Lol was just half joking but yeah

I still suck pvp wise

[reef sequoia]

So you just want cod in tarkov

[keen fossil]

Yeah

[weak mirage]

Yes

[clever knoll]

Rat meta woooo

[keen fossil]

I’d rather have people move

[reef sequoia]

Where you can ignore info and go based of reaction time

[keen fossil]

No

[weak mirage]

I want cod with tarkov gunplay and rpg

[reef sequoia]

Then go back to your dmz

[reef spoke]

95% of "rats" in tarkov are just the other guy hearing you first and not pushing because they can't figure out the broken sound.

change my mind.

[reef sequoia]

Thats what you get

[weak mirage]

Its true

[clever knoll]

I think all they need to do is nerf headset ranges and maybe make crouch walking not completely silent. Ofc this is not a good take and has issues but yeah

[reef sequoia]

Thats me

[keen fossil]

I’m just saying it’s lame for the fights to be 10min of holding right hand peaks

[weak mirage]

No they Can figure out The Sound, But they choose not to give away any

[keen fossil]

like it’s fucking boring

[weak mirage]

To get The jump

Cause they heard The guy first

[weak mirage]

Its so boring

[reef sequoia]

Flank or get nades

[keen fossil]

It’s horrible

[keen fossil]

Fight someone in dorms bruh

[reef spoke]

As an old dayz player who will watch bodies for more than 3 hours out spite , Understandable and valid take.

[keen fossil]

Its fucking miserable

[open siren]

Looking for help to do tasks please anyone? 😸

[orchid isle]

hi im andy

[solemn raptor]

Alright guys hear me out.

1v1, isn't something you need to worry about in tarkov.
1v1 is dorms.
The rest of tarkov allows the participants of an engagement to decide on whether they want a fight or not.
If a 2000 hour guy has the mindset that he's going to commit to every fight. Win or die trying. He'll die against everyone who are "better" than you.
If a 50 hour guy has the mindset of only taking on people he knows he can win over, and not risking dying against others, he'll be near invincible. Sure he'll die to the 2000 hour guy, but that's a fight he's never going to take.

The 2000 hour guy may have a SR of 50% and a KD of 2-3
The 50 hour guy may get an SR of 80-90% and a KD of 6-7
Simly because he's got a different mindset. To set into perspecitve, an SR of 90% is surviving 8 raids in a row before dying.

[weak mirage]

I hope arena makes it better

[reef spoke]

welcome ❤️

[keen fossil]

It probably won’t

arena gonna become a camp fest

[weak mirage]

Youre trolling 😂

[solemn raptor]

I'm dead serious.

[open siren]

Looking for help to do tasks please anyone? 😸

[keen fossil]

Bruh

[reef spoke]

I'll disagree here a bit because in 50 hours you basically get to learn 2 skills.

and if one of them is "how to break contact" then you're not gonna learn another more important skill

[weak mirage]

those 50 hour guys just folds like lawnchairs

[keen fossil]

your not picking your fight against a guy with 2000h

[orchid isle]

huh

[keen fossil]

He picked the fight and your gonna lose it

[reef spoke]

Yeah its not a fight, you shoot him in the back when his pants are down.

recognising when pants are down is a skill though.

[open siren]

Looking for help to do tasks please anyone? 😸

[keen fossil]

I’m super skilled with my impact in d2

[reef spoke]

and how far down . them need to be at least knee level before you can win at 50 hours vs 2k

[orchid isle]

He'll die against everyone who are "better" than you. lmao this is kinda uhh

[weak mirage]

This conversation Got too grandpa
