[cold reef]

i hate that the srver is down i wanna level up

[lunar jolt]

rn im on a old pc just got back on pc

[orchid isle]

7800x3d will smoke any intel cpu for half the power and pricein games

except for stardue that game is weirdly optimized too

[tired coral]

I hav a 5600x3d and it still v fast

Has been able to handle whatever I've thrown at it with ease

[covert ravine]

how much it cost

[orchid isle]

300 or so

[covert ravine]

[orchid isle]

Or 500 with bundle

[covert ravine]

[orchid isle]

Microcenter bundle

[covert ravine]

thats what it says.

[covert ravine]

lmaooo

[raven quarry]

wild build

[covert ravine]

my exact case

[covert ravine]

was just buying stuff that was compatible

[orchid isle]

brois got the mixmatch parts form a toyota and a ferrari

[covert ravine]

[tranquil jetty]

how are people playing the game right now isnt it down?

[orchid isle]

cus its still decent parts

[covert ravine]

hm

[orchid isle]

yea its down

[covert ravine]

so

what would u say

target the gpu or the cpu mobo kit first

[orchid isle]

or maybe down for some server

[tranquil jetty]

@orchid isle im literally watching people play in LFG beginners assistance

[orchid isle]

gpu compliments the cpu so always cpu first

[covert ravine]

right

so ima get the cpu than ima go get a 4060

[whole thistle]

crazy how 12.12 dropped 2 years ago

[orchid isle]

duybnno i cant even log inrn

[orchid isle]

dont get 40 series unless atleast like a 4070

[covert ravine]

damn why

[orchid isle]

but go amd ngl

[orchid isle]

cus nvidia scams you and just gives u a renamed card basically

[covert ravine]

ok

so what gpu

tryna spend like 400

looks good

[orchid isle]

you can get a 6800 for 399.99

[covert ravine]

hm

[orchid isle]

6700xt is good too

I think @safe elk got the nastiest pc in this server maybe

and previus pcs too

[safe elk]

I mean

iss aight

[orchid isle]

ur gpu is half ur case 😭

[safe elk]

13900k & 4090

boy lunch tbh

[orchid isle]

not ks wowww broke

[orchid isle]

did you manage to turn off ur ecores yet or is the temps back normla

[safe elk]

ks is just an oc'd and slightly better silicone lottery

[orchid isle]

u dont haev teh golden box

[safe elk]

I have the 3 boxes from ones I returned until I got one with a w silicone lottery tho

[orchid isle]

howd you test it

[safe elk]

too bad there is 0 reason to oc them

[orchid isle]

fr shits hotter than a stove

[safe elk]

literally all you can do with them is undervolt anyway

[orchid isle]

unelses direct dye cooling

[vivid isle]

from what i have been able to understand, the best performance settings for tark is almost entirely subjective based on the PC being used, resolution, etc. I see many varying opinions but could someone assist me with what settings are non-negotiable for increasing performance (fps)? Thanks!! My specs are i513600k and 6900XT.

[safe elk]

I aint got the patience for that

[safe elk]

just send what settings you have and I will tell you what to change

[orchid isle]

oo beefy boy

im slowly turning to team red

intel and nvidia better get their game up

[safe elk]

slowly?

mf next cpu im getting is x3d

[orchid isle]

yes im stil lhanging on incase they get better

[safe elk]

I might even switch early

[orchid isle]

i dont beelive intel will jsut sit and watch x3d cpus beat the shit out of all their top dawgs with half the power

[vivid isle]

i will do that but sadly with the game down i cant even access lol

[orchid isle]

and prcie

[orchid isle]

how mcuh ram u runnin

[safe elk]

gpu im gonna stick with nvidia just coz its what I know unless something truly appealing is cooked up on the other side

but when it comes to cpu

intel are just getting dumpstered by team red

[orchid isle]

yea but theyre so greedy with vram on the mid/lower end cards

[safe elk]

skill issue'd so hard they may aswell leave the market

[orchid isle]

and usually max gpu ill get is a xx70 series

so expensive too

[vivid isle]

32 GB DDR4-3200 CL16

[safe elk]

oh yeah 100%. but realistically, am I going to be going with a mid/lower end card

[orchid isle]

4090 chonker

whatd u switch from

[safe elk]

3080ti

[orchid isle]

did u get rid of it

[safe elk]

still have it next to me

[orchid isle]

sheesh

[safe elk]

it looks cute in comparison

[orchid isle]

ay i might buy it off you wink wink

[safe elk]

I'm not against that

[orchid isle]

ngl i might start turning to the used market for gpus cus evreythigns os goddam expensive from nvidia

but its hard to see which ones are ass and which ones are good

[safe elk]

p sure I only put it through like, 2 years of use

no problems with it

[orchid isle]

yea

[safe elk]

its uhh, gaming x trio iirc

[orchid isle]

oo good one

[vivid isle]

@orchid isle check fb marketplace for ppl in ur area. got my 6900xt local for $450 who just had it on his shelf and had no use for it

[safe elk]

mhm

I had no choice but to snipe the 4090 tho

suprim x at just under £1K

no brainer

[orchid isle]

I don't trust people on that ngl unless i get to test the system

[safe elk]

hell I could probably sell it used for more than that

[orchid isle]

how much did u get it for

[vivid isle]

thats what i had to do. i thought it was a dream

[safe elk]

^

[orchid isle]

ohh

goddam wtf that cheap?

4090

[safe elk]

mhm

[orchid isle]

from who

[safe elk]

ebay bid. unusued with full warranty

[orchid isle]

damn

[safe elk]

I was on holiday at the time so it was hella easy to bid snipe it

[orchid isle]

maybe i go work at amazon warehouse, i can like snag a gpu for cheap

[flat valley]

r servers up?

[safe elk]

just get it as a side job

[orchid isle]

check ur luck

[safe elk]

[tidal lagoon]

Damn pass me taht 4090

[safe elk]

[safe elk]

[tidal lagoon]

Tweaking settings is very simple I just google best Tarkov settings then Watch some streamer

[orchid isle]

i do that too haha

[tidal lagoon]

It’s meta

[safe elk]

anti aliasing is personal pref

rest looks sweet

[vivid isle]

reccomendations for ^

[vivid isle]

thx

[safe elk]

no probs

[vivid isle]

should i keep on borderless @safe elk

[orchid isle]

Should be fullsceeen

[safe elk]

how many monitors?

[vivid isle]

1

[safe elk]

if 1 fullscreen yes

if 2 (or more) borderless

[orchid isle]

How much fps u gettin w that setup just curious

[safe elk]

300+ on labs

[orchid isle]

Streets

[safe elk]

anywhere between 100 and 160

[orchid isle]

Oo pretty good

[safe elk]

but it fluctuates a shit tonne

[red valve]

guys

[orchid isle]

I get like 80-90

[red valve]

how many gb has the game

[orchid isle]

Erm like 50gb?

[vivid isle]

on factory 143-144 and its capped at 144

dont know how its capped at 144 when my monitor is 165 hz lol

[orchid isle]

Game is capped at 144

For u

[bold kernel]

usually with an hdmi it’ll be at 145hz

with a displayport it’ll get to 165hz

[orchid isle]

How do you uncap tarkov fps I forgot

[vivid isle]

i have display port but it wont let me get 165 still

[orchid isle]

Also does tarkov settings save if you uninstall

Like keybinds

[bold kernel]

vsync off in your nvidia/amd settings, vsync on in tarkov

no i dont think so, mine get reset when it wipes

and install

[orchid isle]

Bruh

[bold kernel]

it might stay the same though

[orchid isle]

So I have to relearn my keybinds

i have weird keybibnds

welp time to reinstall and remember my keybinds

for next next wipe

[tidal lagoon]

How dare you uninstall in the first place

[orchid isle]

to get rid of addiction :)))

[tidal lagoon]

Bad

It’s not addiction it’s dedication

[orchid isle]

truuu

[honest hatch]

r servers up?

[covert ravine]

yes

[honest hatch]

can i play tarkov now?

[covert ravine]

u should be good to go

[vivid isle]

okay i am getting max fps (144) on customs

anyway to get 165fps since my monitor is 165hz? I am using displayport but it still says capped at 144

[balmy orbit]

about time they fixed it

[covert ravine]

Is your monitor settings actually set to 165 and is tarkov settings unlimited

[balmy orbit]

i think my game is finally working

[vivid isle]

yes monitor is set to 165

[covert ravine]

game FPS limit is max of 144

idk if you can go above 144

[vivid isle]

theres no option for me to get tarkov unlimited

[covert ravine]

the pros can handle that cus im no pro

[vivid isle]

its greyed out

[covert ravine]

mod says impossible

[dull sonnet]

does anyone have bunkhouse key?

[vivid isle]

gotcha, but i cant even get 165 though even with my monitor having a 165hz refresh rate?

[dry flint]

honestly, with how unoptimized this game is. id be surprise if 144hz was even achievable with high specs

but i think the fps cap is more for fps exploit things

[gleaming spade]

help

why is this happening to me

[balmy orbit]

nvm, i spoke too soon

[orchid isle]

Servers r down

[whole thistle]

servers down

[balmy orbit]

my game i s still broken

[gleaming spade]

fuc

[balmy orbit]

unpacking game files still at 0% and not moving at all

[gleaming spade]

when undown

[bold kernel]

i was mistaken by his wording
to remove your frame cap, disable your vsync in your amd/nvidia control panel and enable vsync in tarkov settings

[whole thistle]

never

[dry flint]

did you try the fix at #community-support

[gleaming spade]

fye

[balmy orbit]

guys can i reinstall tarkov again without paying if i uninstall it?

[dry flint]

yes

thank god the unity reinstall fee backfired

[orchid isle]

hmmm

im not actually playing this wipe, just reinstalled to check on settings

[dry flint]

did it just wipe?

[orchid isle]

no i just never played this wipe

[dry flint]

ohh, got surprised for a moment

[orchid isle]

yk what imma play a factory

man how tf am i overweight

oh well 1 tarkov game and im done for the wipe

[dry flint]

timmy strength skill

[orchid isle]

@bold kernel wanna watch haha

[bold kernel]

if I wasn’t driving

also you’re playing now???

[orchid isle]

i just died

oops

[bold kernel]

[orchid isle]

oh well time to not touch it again

until i come back

[vivid isle]

okay this is weird. my GPU utilization is hovering around 45% and cpu around 1-3%. is this normal?

[solemn raptor]

ram use?

[vivid isle]

only 15ish GB of my 32.

[solemn raptor]

and this is under normal gameplay? what sort of fps are you getting??

[vivid isle]

under normal gameplay yes. around 130ish fps on factory with cap at 144

14.6 GB of my 32 GB of ram to be exact

[solemn raptor]

with 3% CPU?? no way

[vivid isle]

I swear i can send a SS

[solemn raptor]

what sort of nasa grade CPU do you have??

[vivid isle]

maybe its why my fps isnt as high

50% GPU, 14.2 of 32 GB RAM, and 1% CPU?

[cunning edge]

Bugged probably

What cpu

What are you using to monitor

[solemn raptor]

Don't do factory, go on custom or something.

[cunning edge]

I had a problem with GeForce always telling me I’m at 100% utilization on gpu

[vivid isle]

weird?

[nocturne bough]

what is the best ammo to use

[dry flint]

its subjective to the gun you are using. but the "meta" right now is AVT/SVT with 7.62x54 SNB

[nocturne bough]

ok thank you sir

[harsh cosmos]

Hey quick question is there any plans to add an in-game map?

[whole thistle]

As well as an issue of GPU usage

[shut canopy]

tryin to learn / team up

[tough adder]

ANYONE NEED HELP WITH ANYTHING ? ANY MAP

Im super new, no idea what to expect, heard the cheating problem is super bad in this game like 3 or 4 a game type bad.. is it true?

[tough adder]

ive got two

[tough adder]

no

[tough adder]

its the same as any other game exept the issue with this one is no one can be 100% as there is no death cam etc

[solemn tree]

Hello, i am quite new and totally garbage at the game, any tips on how i can get better? I am not the best shot but i mostly lose due to armor differences

i am very far from being able to acces labs anyway lol
died like 20 times in customs and still didnt manage to extract prapors watch lol

when is the wipe due?

and then it is the arms race again lol

ok then, i will try to learn the maps better and ammo types until then

been running knife only for the last 5 raids lol

got no weapons or money for weapons tho

[mild narwhal]

Worked for me, found a pistol, killed a scav with it, got a rifle, killed a chad, win.

[solemn tree]

ook, so i should use scavs more got it

is there a consequence for killing scavs as a scav?

aside from all scavs becoming hostile

got it

ooooh so that is wahy fence was mad

good to know

which channel do you use here to find people to team up?

ted that last raid and they did the left-right leaning dance and then shot me
thats why i tried to see if there is an official discord lol

they acted friendly until i got to one meter away from them and then shot me

they were pmc

i was pmc too

[red valve]

best maps for begninners? And other tips

[dawn geyser]

Customs -> Woods -> Interchange -> Shoreline
Those are going to be your starting maps because of tasks
You can check Prapor & Therapist for your first tasks

??keybinds

er.

??binds

[carmine lantern]

Useful keybinds to have~! : #beginners-chat message

[red valve]

and other gameplaytips like what do i take with me and what should i loot?

[dawn geyser]

Heavy bleed stop separate from your HP replenish med, painkiller as always

Looting differs on each map, you'll have to look up videos for those.

[wicked minnow]

If you want to run some raids, let me know :)
I'd be happy to help you through those early quests

you are zb 12?

extract isnt up

[red valve]

why

[tidal lagoon]

you need to go to 1011 instead

[red valve]

the light has to be on

[tidal lagoon]

light outside

[sharp socket]

Is the light outside on?

If it isn’t you gotta go 1011

[red valve]

it was out

the website told me about the light above the door

can somebody tell me what this is

one is a key for something but the prokill

[velvet warren]

key is for a door on reserve, forgot which one but pretty sure its one of the guarded doors in one of the four buildings surrounding the helipad, the prokill is just a barter item

[sharp socket]

The pro kill medalion is a rarer valuable type item that sells for (I think) 66k roubles to therapist, it’s used at mechanic 2 for a barter for a sophmod 2 m4 and some other stuff, the key you found is unfortunately one of the “useless” keys in the game as it unlocks nothing

[silver stratus]

[silver stratus]

Thank you sir

[red valve]

53k

[sharp socket]

Ah, my bad

I haven’t picked one up recently

[alpine dome]

lucky

[final crow]

ap 6.3 worth running?

[solemn raptor]

depends, you need to give some more context to what your requirments for an ammo are.

[final crow]

like does it actually hurt

will it penetrate

[solemn raptor]

does it hurt? what?? any bullet will hurt.
What are you trying to penentrate, and at what distance?

[final crow]

armor

just close

[solemn raptor]

no like, you need to give me a class.

[final crow]

class 5

[solemn raptor]

haha, yeah... forget about it.

at 1m it has 8% chance of penning class 4.

[final crow]

what classes will it actually go through

[solemn raptor]

1, 2 and 3.

at point blank.

[final crow]

kk

just using it for rogues so

[solemn raptor]

@final crow you can one shot headshot through class 3 up to 15 meters or so.. it's pathetic.

[raven quarry]

yea hit headshots, high rof, it’s alg

[solemn raptor]

well, not against ulachs haha

[raven quarry]

i mean it is

what, 4 hits?

with 1100 rpm that’s fine

or just hit face

[solemn raptor]

that's about inifite times longer than just one shooting...

[raven quarry]

and?

still like 0.05 of a second

[solemn raptor]

assuming you hit all shots.
There are way better headhunting bullet weapon combos out there.

[raven quarry]

i mean it’s a 9mm smh

it has maybe 3 pixels of recoil

sure there’s better but it’s still useable

[solemn raptor]

useable for sure, but not optimal, assuming you have decent aim.

but maybe that assumption is a bit too much to ask for.

[raven quarry]

ur the one saying you aren’t gonna hit shots with a smg 😭

click on face challenge

or click and hold on top of head for 0.05s challenge

[fervent raft]

its usable but not crazy

definitely fun now and then to run 0 recoil smgs like vector

[raven quarry]

Ye

sure it isn’t meta but who gives

bullet hose is fun

[solemn raptor]

mm.. it's tought to say how many bullets are needed, my guess is 5-7 shots to pen class 4 on avarage, but after 6 or 5 shots you're going to kill him regardless through blunt damage.

[raven quarry]

50/50 at 4 shots, 90% at 5

[solemn raptor]

impressive work, how did you get the armor damage per durability %?

[versed temple]

what to do if profile data wont load?

[peak portal]

Where can I get scopes for my weapon

[sharp socket]

Mechanic and jaeger primarily

[keen fossil]

Or flea but those are hella expensive

[peak portal]

Ok ok ty, bcs I want one for my weapon bcs its annoying having none

[solemn raptor]

from lvl 1 traders prapor give you a PSO scope that you can put on weapon with dovetail mounts.

[peak portal]

Ok thanks !

[solemn raptor]

yeah that's my go to for early wipe :)

@peak portal leave me a dm if you want more advice on becoming a sniper :)

[raven quarry]

website

formulas are on wiki tho

[solemn raptor]

which one? link please <3

[raven quarry]

https://tarkovgunsmith.com/armordamagecalculator/5b40e1525acfc4771e1c6611/5c925fa22e221601da359b7b

[solemn raptor]

no way tarkov gunsmith has this haha

that's awesome, thanks so much

[teal oak]

Guys i need to find a golden gphone for kappa. Where can i find it?

lighthouse , interchange?

safes or drawers?

[leaden remnant]

i foudn mine mostly in safes

you oculd run sani's house on shorline

4 safes

right next to eachother then u can run gas peir

[raven quarry]

Labs rare spawns, like 2 per raid

east

[solemn raptor]

get rid of that helmet...

hmm, that's strange, my is like this:

[acoustic umbra]

Thank you for letting me know, I was not on the Live branch.

[solemn raptor]

live branch?

[acoustic umbra]

just a different branch for the game , but I see the list now

[solemn raptor]

what do you mean different branch??

[acoustic umbra]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/support/knowledge/422

[solemn raptor]

ETS, aalright...

[latent jetty]

dude just leaked info about servers on ets lol

[acoustic umbra]

nah I was asking why my regions were messed up, no ETS data at all. linked a general public page as well

[latent jetty]

yokin'

[acoustic umbra]

just asked if anyone had issues connecting to west and east coast because I couldn't see it because the launcher was bugged

but yeah

[wind vale]

ive had worse raids

[solemn raptor]

see there you go, get rid of that vietnam helmet.

[brisk wharf]

isn't it weird that part 2 is active before part 1 finished?

[solemn raptor]

no that's normal behavoiur, introduced to make quest progression faster.

[brisk wharf]

ah great then

[solemn raptor]

it is a bit strange though, agree with that haha

[brisk wharf]

been 2-3 wipes since I fully played

cant believe some quests are a bit easier

like last part

[raven quarry]

head, lower nape sorry

[devout fern]

i killed a dude in dorms and he had a decked out the SR-25 with m80 and had a keycard for labs should i sell the keycard or go in to labs ive never been in there before

[strong barn]

How dare you!
That backpack is big boned, you rude ass mf

If you dont ditch that backpack before you start looking around, you begging for it.

I play like its dayz and toss it somewhere, fill my rig and come back to it, dump it full and repeat.

Do you see the mistake LOL

that taking a fight in an open street sounds like--a good idea?

I guess so 🤷

[fervent raft]

those low level faceshields are really not worth using at this part of wipe btw, it will just ruin your vision and hearing

you can turn them on for scavs, but never for pvp

unless you know he has a shotgun or some crap

[strong barn]

head, ears is real.

[fervent raft]

huh?

[strong barn]

Faceshields dont caver your ears unless its an altyn/rys-t or your wearing the heavy zhsh; the benti helmet covers ears.
Other then that, you can shot in the 'front' and die to head, ears even with a faceshield.

The ears hotboxes makes me feel like Dumbo the Elephant

[fervent raft]

he has ears protection in that exfil

idk what you mean

[strong barn]

level 2 or level 3 ear covers on those helmets aint stopping much. Except as you said, shotties or wtvr. Even then you gunna be pretty disoriented after 9 buckshot to the head

[fervent raft]

is ears hitbox glitches?

glitched?

[strong barn]

Nah its just garbage

its like Head, Nape hitbox

[fervent raft]

fair

but what i was trying to say was just that he shouldnt use that faceshield, only situational

[strong barn]

legit i never do

my mentality is:
Avoid being shot in the head, instead of depending on being shot in the head and your helmet saving you

[fervent raft]

shouldnt

[strong barn]

90% of the time, a headshot = you dead anyways.

[fervent raft]

more like 99%

[strong barn]

Low estimate on my part

[fervent raft]

helmets are not worth it imo, only early wipe

but like if he feels better in a helmet

i know a lot of people do

[strong barn]

This wipe and last I swore not to use meta ammo, weapons or helmets all wipe, have a 52% survival rating. 6.03 k/d. Over 200 pmc kills a nd 800+ scavs with under 270deaths or something.
Headphones, and any ammo are all I need man. If I die; they're probably gunna have killed me anyways.

[fervent raft]

i dont understand the ammo part but im with you on the helmet part

[strong barn]

Most people depend to much on top tier ammo imo. I also dont like having 120 rounds of ammo thats over 1200 a shot and then being afraid to 'waste it'

[fervent raft]

idk i spend most my roubles on ammo

[strong barn]

I just wanna blast, and overwhelm the other player. Rather than jiggle peak dirty corners and try to get that one shot on.

[strong barn]

My point is made. I spend literally nothing on ammo and run in with 6+ mags of dog water ammo but I may legit use it all in 1 raid

[fervent raft]

but like what else would i use it on

[strong barn]

Idk, I die alot. So I buy more kits 🤷 and infinite kits because Im never losing 250k money for 2-4 mags

[fervent raft]

yeah i die a lot too lol

but i dont wanna die cause my ammo is crap

[strong barn]

So if we both die alot, say roughly the same amount.
and your spending 5x more on ammo than me, whos really losing?

[leaden remnant]

im scared

[fervent raft]

idk

[strong barn]

Ammo is good, but its not the end all be all like it was 3-5 wipes ago.

Everyone is stuck on this 'mEtA aMmO' with high pen but the game is like, an rpg in the sense that theres a pen value and a health value, think of it like resistances i guess?
damage is important too. Damage kills people, not penetration.

[leaden remnant]

smeden quick can i get some labs tips? gonna first time it in a couple seconds

surely ill keep my gun after

[fervent raft]

idk what to tell you at the moment mate

expect no sound being made by your oponents

and take it slow, cause they for sure will

unless you got enough roubles to die a lot

[strong barn]

labs is sus, havnt played it in 5 wipes nd im happier.
completed samples every wipe without going labs, legit no reason except for intel center 3 to go labs.

[fervent raft]

lmao :-d

i hope you have a good one

[leaden remnant]

i diddnt really ask if i should

i asked for tips lil bro

[sleek shell]

It's just like a normal raid. The only difference is closer ranges and everyone going there is geared.

[fervent raft]

its a lot rattier than any other map at the moment

[leaden remnant]

go back to using warmage for the damage!

[strong barn]

Tip:
"Only go labs to complete intel center 3"
Incase that wasn't obvious, bro

[strong barn]

warmage actually slaps, its like 5-6 to the leg/arm and anyone dies regardless of armor.
or 3-4 and a few seconds; they'll bleed out LOL
like 90 damage per shot x 4 is 360/454 hp from 4 bullets 😂 and like a 65% chance to bleed on each rnd

[leaden remnant]

edit#4

[strong barn]

Cry 😂

[fervent raft]

let me know how it goes

only decent map for pvp rn is factory i think, and that says a lot lmao

atleast there people come to pvp instead of roubeling

[strong barn]

I gave you just the tip but your 4 messages deep not running labs
you scared lil bro?

[fervent raft]

https://medal.tv/games/escape-from-tarkov/clips/1J0gWY3F8odlM0/d1337tRa42CY?invite=cr-MSxadk8sMTkxODIzMTA0LA this is 10 minutes into the raid

dushman ran into this guy

he was just crouchwalking all the way through mid

expect everything from these players

[leaden remnant]

lmaooo

gotcha

[fervent raft]

they are shameless

[leaden remnant]

and he missed everything too lmaooo

[fervent raft]

so did dushman but he got jumpscared lol

[leaden remnant]

dude i saw a person do a scav move last raid

ran in place crouched and waited

[fervent raft]

lmao

[strong barn]

dude that guy is playing 4D chess 😂

[fervent raft]

https://streamable.com/q57259 this is like 10 mins ago on factory

people actually move and try to fight there

[leaden remnant]

i rolled random map

i hit labs

[fervent raft]

hahaha i like that

[leaden remnant]

means i gotta run it

[fervent raft]

i hope the best

for you

[leaden remnant]

im running around in an offline just to see where stuff is lol

[fervent raft]

good idea

also just get a feeling of the map and sounds

like most of the map makes wood foodsteps

[leaden remnant]

i wonder how much therapist would give for this

[fervent raft]

theres like 5 rarespawns in that room btw

[tidal lagoon]

10k take it or leave it

[fervent raft]

most of them is at the black weapon box

and then bitcoin can spawn on the shelves around

and intel on the table

[fervent raft]

im paying 12

[tidal lagoon]

i dont get money spent with u to level up trader

[fervent raft]

fair point

[keen fossil]

Bruh I ran some offline labs to learn the lab and I didn’t find shit

like 1 gpu in 3 raids

only thing that was gud

[fervent raft]

did you check all the spawns?

[keen fossil]

I think

[fervent raft]

thats a scam raid

then

most new players just end up looking in the pc

pcs

[keen fossil]

I’ve never really played labs tho so I probably missed some

[fervent raft]

ye fair

[keen fossil]

Ion tho just seemed kinda mid for a 200k entry fee

[fervent raft]

its not a huge profit map

[leaden remnant]

i just got ratted by a raider xdd

[fervent raft]

i mean if you get a dead one

[leaden remnant]

IM READY

[fervent raft]

youll make a lot

but mostly people just run for spawns and shove it up their ass

[leaden remnant]

ah ic

[grizzled mulch]

I have a question

If a player scav shoots me and I kill them

And they have a friends

/team mate

Will I loose rep for killing them in self defence

Even if they didn’t hit me

[whole thistle]

yeah unless they hit you

its per individual not per team

[grizzled mulch]

Oh sweet

[covert ravine]

ledx on table also

[safe elk]

32k

[safe elk]

zest

[leaden remnant]

i survived my first labs raid!

i got -20dura out of my armored rig, lost the fir tag on my black card and dropped my bag!

Anyone willing to play with a fellow ex-DMZ player? #RIPDMZ :C

[jolly lantern]

Is there anyone whos free to vc and tell me what ive been doing right and what ive been doing wrong as a tarkov player, if you wanna help ill be in LFG beginner 16 vc thanks!

[covert jacinth]

i ltterally have no torage

[tidal lagoon]

thorax?

go extract

[covert jacinth]

[tidal lagoon]

oh

right

sell stuff

!wiki quests

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Quests

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Quests

Quests, both player-given and dynamically generated, are intended to be a large part of Escape from Tarkov.
Some require you to pick stuff up for certain traders, while others require you to kill other operators or mark vehicles and specific places. Quests are the fastest way of gaining EXP. Completing one will often reward you with experience points, trader reputation, money, valuable loot, rare containers, and unlock the purchase of new items.
When a trader has a quest available, they will have a green tick on their icon.

[covert jacinth]

im level 3 tho js sell to npcs?

[tidal lagoon]

page has everything u need FIR for quests etc, so u can sell what u wont need

yes sell to npcs

[covert jacinth]

ok

[tidal lagoon]

you need to sell to npcs to meet a certain money spent requirement so u can level them up in the future

[covert jacinth]

thank you

[tidal lagoon]

flea ofc is better for money but early u have no choice

[covert jacinth]

yeah

dude there are so many quests lmao

[tidal lagoon]

yes there is a lot

[covert jacinth]

ima js sell part for guns that i dont rly need and other things that ik wont be quest needed until late game

[latent birch]

all this damage in one single player

how is it even possible to survive so many hits and damage even with heals??

[solemn raptor]

you've clearly never fought sanitar

[latent birch]

... its a player, not a boss

[solemn raptor]

I don't think the guy you were shooting cared

[open rock]

Probably propital, the fight was long ?

[latent birch]

like 3 minutes

but still..

752*?

[open rock]

Yea thats a lot

[latent birch]

he ate like 20 buckshots dude

XD

[tidal lagoon]

very doable over a 3 minute fight, 440 is pmc hp, u might have got him low in first encounter then he fully healed for example

[open rock]

[latent birch]

unlucky

i lost only a 50k gear anyway xD

he was a full chad

almost lost against me

[peak flicker]

is there a way to get out of this corner on streets

[latent birch]

another guy eats 10 5.45 BT...

this game is unplayble for low levels rn

[tidal lagoon]

545 is not known for its ability to kill

[latent birch]

so as a low level you got actually no shot

🙂 to win a fight

[mint light]

hit head or play start of wipe or play legs or find good ammo from snowballing someone

jus snowball

[tidal lagoon]

obviously you will have a disadvantage, but saying you have no shot is just false

if u go woods attachment cabin there is always good ammo spawns there, and u can always just do some quests get prapor lvl 2 and buy SVT

[solemn raptor]

no not at all, you can pretty easily sway the odds heavily in your favour. Last wipe when everything was on sale from the traders, when everyone are running around with class 6 armor and the most maxed out equipment, I only used gear from lvl1 traders, I was able to keep a KD of 8 without much issue.

[wise topaz]

best starter shotgun?

[dusty spruce]

went in to kill scavs along the road in lighthouse. this happened instead

[dire folio]

What is that gun😭

[dusty spruce]

just an rsass i looted off someone

idk

[dire folio]

Its very silly

[dusty spruce]

idk anything about weapon builds ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dire folio]

Thunderbeast and gen 3

[dusty spruce]

what does that mean

[dire folio]

Thats the supressor and stock

Very silly choices

[dusty spruce]

oh

why are they silly?

[dire folio]

Just are

[dusty spruce]

how silly is this? I looted this off someone too

[dusty spruce]

I was gonna change the mag

[orchid isle]

nvm the delta point isnt that bad

[dusty spruce]

lol just was there

[orchid isle]

but i dont see why ppl use it

[dire folio]

Only thing id change is the reciever

Standard m4 reciever on meta m4 is kind of crazy

[dusty spruce]

idk anything about receivers

[dire folio]

Also its missing a buttpad😭

[dusty spruce]

oh LOL

[dire folio]

Apart from that its really good

[dire folio]

Any of them are better than standard m4 and adar ones

Even tx15 one is better iirc

[dusty spruce]

which would you recommend

is the aeroknox better?

[dire folio]

Mur or ax15 i think

Yes

[dusty spruce]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i took your advice

[dire folio]

Now its good

[dusty spruce]

watch me die to knight again

I

died to him again

just so you know, goons are on lighthouse

there goes my idea of questing

[noble needle]

doe the faction matter to play whit friend

[dusty spruce]

no

[noble needle]

what the diff

[dusty spruce]

just how rogues treat you, i think?

[covert jacinth]

?codes

[rocky elk]

I found an Armor Repair Kit. Is this valuable?

I don't have flea market yet but traders will give like 250k ish? I heard it's worth more?

[lofty wave]

uh yeah do not sell to traders

going for 2 mil on the flea rn

depending on the armor you have access to they are so good that they are usually worth keeping anyway

[dusty spruce]

bruh

im so over today lol

i hate this

[lofty wave]

more deaths on lighthouse?

[dusty spruce]

3 deaths for 3 runs

[dire folio]

What happened

[dusty spruce]

i have nothing left really

[dire folio]

Thats not too bad

Show stash

[dusty spruce]

stash is like a cluttered closet

[lofty wave]

think i got like 20k roubles rn or smth

purely living off my stash at the moment

[dire folio]

Thats okay

[dusty spruce]

i got 30k, i have some weapons but just meh stuff in general

[lofty wave]

nah i got good gear but no money lmao

[dire folio]

Thats ussually same for me

[dusty spruce]

stash

cluttered closet

[lofty wave]

damn

[dusty spruce]

for the junk box lol, i have some storage things

[dire folio]

Thats not bad at all

[dusty spruce]

yeah but i got no weapons really

[lofty wave]

time to become a streets scav god ig

thats all i did early wipe for money ngl

[dusty spruce]

i got really lucky on streets, found someones super kitted rd

died on my way to extract

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i just wanted to quest today

instead i was the victom of timmy on timmy violence

when i had t4 armor and a kitted m4

i simply shouldn't have ads'd but he was far away so i didn't trust it

idk how to manage stuff in this game so i just bled like 650k worth of gear

[lofty wave]

lol yeah it be like that

i was STRUGGLING first 2 months of wipe or so

this was my first real wipe and since i got to level 3 traders ive just been chilling doing pvp and whatnot

[dusty spruce]

this is my first wipe where I've started trying to learn.

[lofty wave]

yeah me too

[dusty spruce]

I've had time in the game, but I didn't really learn from it?

so im actually enjoying tarkov and wanting to play it despite the depressing deaths

[lofty wave]

yeah me too lo

i had like 80 hours but actually knew nothing

[dusty spruce]

lol yeah

[lofty wave]

i knew shorline sortof that was it

[dusty spruce]

yeah

[rocky elk]

Ty

[dusty spruce]

like i knew what to do to find an extract

but outside of that, i was clueless. even still, im clueless

[lofty wave]

it gets better its just a grind

ive just been bringing m4s to factory with 55a1 and sometimes ssa ap from peacekeeper task tagilla face shields and a variety of level 6 armors the past few days

tagilla got a 100% spawn so its great

[dusty spruce]

im only level 21 lol

[dire folio]

Last wipe this was like the cleanest my stash was

[lofty wave]

im level 36 i think

[lofty wave]

that is wild lmao
