[tidal lagoon]

if so then fair

[limber tiger]

it would say neck naped

[frigid finch]

nape is the back of the neck, not front

[limber tiger]

end me

[frigid finch]

i dont think there was a specific throat hitbox, so it was just thorax i believe

[tidal lagoon]

yes throat is new

[mortal mason]

Anyone know the turn around time for BTR Extracted Items from Streets?

[tidal lagoon]

heard it takes around 1hr now

not sure if intended or bugged

also not sure if its actually 1 hour or not

[mortal mason]

Hmm, ive been for a while for a couple of items. Odd

Wiki says an hour like you mentioned

[tidal lagoon]

ig it might be bugged if its taking a lot longer

[wooden sorrel]

does keeping dog tags under level 5 make any sense

[tidal lagoon]

trophies

[edgy plover]

recoil changes go crazy
9mm is pretty cracked

[wooden sorrel]

can i do anything useful with them

[tidal lagoon]

yea its kinda busted

[wooden sorrel]

ok ty

[hexed egret]

did they fix the tasks resetting when you scav in?

[tidal lagoon]

not afaik

[frigid finch]

its weird that they changed the recoil values....47 seems to be the lowest m4 recoil you can get

reduced stock recoil reduction by a flat 10% across the board it seems

reduced buffer tube recoil reduction as well

reduced muzzle adapter recoil reduction as well

[autumn crag]

Okay so im getting hammered in this wipe, any gun thats under say 10 thousand roubles thats full auto? All ive been using is the toz with slugs and it is not working.

[crude anvil]

[dawn geyser]

Too many linerinos

[crude anvil]

this is some down bad shit here

ok a mosin

[tidal lagoon]

ure using a shit gun, go buy a proper full auto gun, some 9mm smg or 545 ak

[edgy plover]

Always remember that ammo is way more important than guns, so choose guns based on what ammo you can buy.
Early on your best options are:
UMP-45s (buy Knives at Fence and trade to Peacekeeper) with FMJ

Mosin from Prapor with FMJ is great if you like bolt actions,

KEDR or PPSH are both good for close-range high-damage guns you can spray legs or face with.

9mm guns like the Saiga-9 have no recoil, they do no damage so you have to aim for the face, but they can be great laser beams

You can always go super cheap with the double-barrel. 5.25 buckshot is the best and only shotgun round worth running early on, aim at the face.

[crude anvil]

ok a scav kit

[mystic wagon]

Any general rules to follow as a solo player? I’m pretty bad just want some general advice I normally play with others

[crude anvil]

but a toz????

[crude anvil]

play slow

[tidal lagoon]

u need to update ur copy pasta

[crude anvil]

thats it pmuch, or ur gonna get shafted

[edgy plover]

What's off?

[frigid finch]

ammo matters a lot less and is a lot more restricted then in previous wipes

[mystic wagon]

Yeah I try not to sprint ever

[edgy plover]

Sure but, what in the message is wrong?

[tidal lagoon]

although u dont specify anything about it mosin FMJ is lvl 2 so its not like early early u know

[bold kernel]

hey yall im not sure if its actually ASSISTANCE or i should put it in general, but i bought tarkov and dont thinking got everything in the starter edition. Do i put in a code or what else did i do wrong?

[tidal lagoon]

ofc prapor lvl 2 is still quite early

[crude anvil]

i mean tarkov for the past 2-3 wipes has been rat or be ratted so take that

[edgy plover]

Oh yea...

Which ammos are ll1?
SP BT and what else?

[mystic wagon]

What you missing

[tidal lagoon]

i can check for 762x54

[mystic wagon]

Yeah true

[bold kernel]

most of the weapons and gear

[crude anvil]

what did u get

[tidal lagoon]

only HP & SP BT it seems

[crude anvil]

standard barely gives u anything

[edgy plover]

gotcha, thanks!

[bold kernel]

i remember getting a pistol and someee armor??

[tidal lagoon]

SP BT is a pretty decent round tho tbh especially with this new armor stuff

[mystic wagon]

What are options for silenced weapons before flea ?

I know ump

[tidal lagoon]

dont bother imo

[mystic wagon]

Oh okay

[crude anvil]

the starter stuff barely matters after like 10-15 raids anyway

[tidal lagoon]

im not sure about what is sold but u can just check the traders for what supproessor they have

[crude anvil]

ur not missing out

[edgy plover]

Pretty much nothing

[lethal verge]

use the aks after unlock

[edgy plover]

Kedr-b and AKS74UB

[crude anvil]

aks74 for 70k off prapor

[edgy plover]

beat you to it

[frigid finch]

lol already banning cheaters

[next nimbus]

yo I just got tarkov yesterday I know the basics and have watched videos. I havent played any real games only practice and was looking for someone to help me get into it.

[hidden lodge]

Anyone know how to fix push to talk muffling my audio until i tab out and switch it back?

[bold kernel]

..raids that are longer than 2 minutes

[crude anvil]

didnt say .266 vpo tho 🙂 bolty and semi auto

[bold kernel]

what gun is the best

i cant rlly seem to get that far in, this one time i did but i couldnt find the extraction point

and hwat gun is the gun mostly used to pvp

[tidal lagoon]

m4

[edgy plover]

[bold kernel]

how to u relaod in the game do u put ammo in ur magazine or du u just take ammo wit hu and realod

[tidal lagoon]

you first fill your magazines in your stash so they are already full when starting a raid, then you bring extra ammo so when you shoot you can fill them back up while in raid

[bold kernel]

oh like pd

how fast can soem learn the game in

1 week?

[tidal lagoon]

depends from person to person ofc, dont really have a time but you will have people with like 1k hours who still learn stuff

you can learn the basic mechanics pretty fast

but properly learning the maps and mastering the mechanics will take quite some time

[edgy plover]

If you grind you can probably get pretty comfy on 1 map in like a week

[frigid finch]

me at 1400 hours learning that you can loot each drawer of a file cabinet...instead of it being like a single box lol

[bold kernel]

do you at 1400 hours know how to cover successfully?

[tidal lagoon]

das pretty crazy tbh

[bold kernel]

because the more i try and run the more noise it seems to make and i play on factory

[crude anvil]

why the fuck

are u playing factory

[frigid finch]

you mean use cover

fuck no lol, i stand in the open and block those bullets like a man

[limber tiger]

thats why you got killed homes

[hardy rain]

anyone got a link to the new map of shoreline

[frigid finch]

was a joke lol

[limber tiger]

ik thats why i love you ❤️

[frigid finch]

the snow was fun for like, 2 raids

it needs to go away

[hardy rain]

nah snow needs to be permanent

at the least a rotational weather event like rain

[limber tiger]

rain can jump off a clif and die

[hardy rain]

we need thunderstorms

really anything that makes chads not want to play is ok in my book

fully remove jumping, and make it where you cant shoot after dolphin diving

[viral prawn]

You too

[tidal lagoon]

just remove guns tbh

[ashen plover]

so real

[viral prawn]

^ the second half, and the shooting while jumping needs to go

[hardy rain]

this aint CoD

[marble ether]

how do u get twitch drops

[hardy rain]

you dont its over

[marble ether]

oh let me reprhase. i watched twitch and collected drops. but dont see any mail from "system" or anything, in game

[hardy rain]

you ahve to link your account on eft.com

[marble ether]

i did that.

[hardy rain]

then go to twitch click drops and claim them

[marble ether]

ok maybe thats what i didnt do yet

[tidal lagoon]

aint real life either, balance for fun gameplay not realism

[hardy rain]

it aint fun gameplay when mister cocaine addict is 360 noscoping people with his totally legit skills

[ember tapir]

guys someone rate the legitimacy of this guy. For those who seen this alr pls ignore

[marble ether]

is eft website down..

[hardy rain]

they should leave all that to arena

[tidal lagoon]

0 legitimacy

[hardy rain]

let the chads fortnite each otehr and leave the game to us real players

[tidal lagoon]

u cant take someone who is cheating into it

"real players" is crazy

[hardy rain]

STAND WITH ME BROTHERS! tarkov should be a survival looter with shooter elements, remove pvp! rat like men!

[wooden sorrel]

100% legitimate you can tell by the way he never diesand only has 163 hours (he is obviously on an alt account sincee he is too famous for us)

[tidal lagoon]

real

[crude anvil]

go use ur makarov on factory or something lol

[hardy rain]

why would i? i finished my pistol kills on ground zero

m9a3 supremacy

plus factory sucks, no good loot just 4 man chad teams seal clubbing

[crude anvil]

goofy

[wooden sorrel]

how do i full auto again

[crude anvil]

b

[stoic vine]

Do pistols feel better after the recoil changes? I havent used one yet

[crude anvil]

yes

[wooden sorrel]

pistols are so busted

i love pistols

[hardy rain]

Woods

[stoic vine]

Well I know all guns do lmao but pistols going to the roof and breaking my pmcs wrists after every shot pissed me off so much

[crude anvil]

doesnt change the fact they are still useless

[frigid finch]

whoops...santa was accidentally my last kill for tarkov shooter lol

[stoic vine]

fair enough unfortunately

[mint vine]

I try to go to the med tent in factory I've have gotten lucky there

[stoic vine]

I got all 3 meds on Ground zero looting at emercom

[crude anvil]

if its any med item it litterally the easiest shit ever

kill a scav and he will probably have bandages and stuff

[stoic vine]

Tbh I had good luck with all the Ground Zero quests. I did The Mole first try. and only died once doing all 3 or 4 of those

[crude anvil]

i kept running into 5mans then went night time and did all of the quests in 2 raids so

[stoic vine]

I ran into a three man, I killed two and then their friend gave me his AK and let me grab the HD and leave

[summer mirage]

Wheres the best place to find instant noodles?

[crude anvil]

its all luck

i found mine in duffles

[frigid finch]

it took me like 10 raids day one to get out of ground zero....people were camping the prapor quests every fucking raid

[crude anvil]

but duffles spawn ANYTHING

[crude anvil]

camping early wipe is like the ultimate subhuman activity u can do

[crude heron]

how do i set up my meds where i can use scroll wheel to select which limb to heal, i have 4 bounded to press and 4 to release, i have my heavy heal on 4 press, and then light heals to 4 release, however i cannot use my scroll wheel while pressing, hope this makes sense to someone

[crude anvil]

actually sitting anywhere for 10+ min is

[frigid finch]

its mostly annoying cause they get fucking nothing out of it....like, i get extract camping, i dont like it, but i get it....cause you get a shit ton of loop

[crude anvil]

legit impossible for a "crap ton" of scavs to not have 3 med items like banadages or cheeses

ur pscav will probably spawn with them rn

[broken warren]

I died maybe more than 10 times so far to that. Found one gun, still not the other cos I keep getting camped on that building/room :/

I keep losing my gear to that, which is terrible cos I dont have any money left now and I gotta hope they dont loot it and insurance gets it back

[frigid finch]

just killled a Pscav with this

[vestal quartz]

run scav and or do pistol runs if your good enough you can run around and kill any player with an AR with a pistol thats what ive been doing and ive legit only been leaving with good loot

[stoic vine]

man is furious

[broken warren]

Yeah but I can’t do the quest with scav. Do you mean to fund my quest runs I should run scav?

Sorry I am super new to the game I get confused 🙂

[vestal quartz]

i am to, ive watched people play for years but only just got the game

[mystic wagon]

Yeah, you can use it to learn the map too

[vestal quartz]

i suggest runnin the new ground control map

its super easy to learn

its a good map

[frigid finch]

lol a minute later another pscav

[stoic vine]

jesus mans is making stacks rn.

[broken warren]

I was so furious with that so I ended up learning Interchange these past few days. Which one would be better for loot between that and the ground zero?

[hardy rain]

NEW RECORD! LETS GO

[vestal quartz]

i need to organize 😂 but ive been doing scav and pistol runs on ground control and i just keep on coming out richer and richer

[broken warren]

I also need to find 2 more salewas.. which idk where they are. Cant find em

[vestal quartz]

not that much

i got other shit

[broken warren]

Woah, why not sell some bullets you won’t use? Thats a lot of em I usually sell them 🤔

[vestal quartz]

ima end up needing them

at some point, i just need to organize in backpacks

[stoic vine]

Thats a lot of 7mm buckshot

[broken warren]

My stash is small too so I end up having to sell stuff :/

[vestal quartz]

gotta always have enough

anyone know where to use this

it sdays

im slow

[hardy rain]

lol im not even going to bring anything in raid but a gun and ammo

ive lost 1 mill in 2 hours

[broken warren]

Before I learned you can get loot from scav runs and use em on pmc, I always tried bringing only a pistol and hunting ai scavs for gear :))

Thats why I have tried 52 raids and extracted 12 times 👀

[vestal quartz]

ive extracted 20 out of 22

i be doing the same thing

and it always work i always come out with loot

[stoic vine]

Im at like 4 out of 5 rn or smthn. I haven't had a lot of time to play due to tech issues

[abstract vine]

am new. just ran my first raid, scav, and found the extraction with 38 seconds left. i wont forget where the emercom exfil is on interchange, ever.

finding exfils, is there some trick outside of blind luck?

[broken warren]

Oh you’re actually good at this :)) I am not good with fps games in general and I certainly dont know any of the maps except for Interchange which doesnt help 😂

[vestal quartz]

im tellin you play ground control

its easy to learn no need to look at a map just play it like 4 times and youll know the mao

map theres 1 simple extract i use every time

[broken warren]

But I do love the trying. The game is so much fun. I dont reallt care about the stats I’m entirely focused on learning maps and getting better at the shooting part

[scenic thunder]

anyone having host connection errors with the site?

[autumn crag]

So ammo wise... for shotguns 20 gauge and 12 gauge what ammo do you say? I was using slugs with 12 gauge, should i just hope and pray when i use buckshot orr what?

[stoic vine]

7mm or Magnum(8.5) buckshot and aim for legs/face/armpits

[vestal quartz]

im using 50 bmg slugs i got a few stacks of em in my backpack

[broken warren]

On ground zero I only know the exfil with that medical tent, but even that is camped every single time and I die… I did do the paid car exfil once, that just takes forever to finish so I get shot there as well :)) Also I gotta learn where these actually are cos I only ever find them if I come across while aimlessly running around lmao. Maybe I should play that in offline for an hour 🤔

[sage yew]

can i fix long scav loading times or is it because of wipe?

[vestal quartz]

cause of wipe i had to wait 30 mins to get in on scav..

[autumn crag]

I saw a couple of those but they cant be bought, are you able to craft them or something??

[vestal quartz]

use nakatami basement its the easiest one

[red anvil]

hello guys i am new to this game how do i play as good as this dude? he has only 60 hours and he seems to be rocking the lobbies

is this an esports player?

[broken warren]

idk what that is even.. I gotta learn this map soon

[vestal quartz]

i have no clue i just know i got them through scav raids

[autumn crag]

Oh okay ill look into it

[broken warren]

715 kills 👀

[red anvil]

idk man hes playing so good he one tapped me too even before i saw him

[broken warren]

I died yesterday to someone with 6000 hours and even they didnt have that many.. maybe he’s just too good with a rifle, maybe there’s more, dunno 😂

[viral prawn]

Could be a hacker too

[red anvil]

Hes probably very good, he got kill shturman 15 times achievement

[crude anvil]

1 mil is legit nothing

[broken warren]

Also this has been my exact problem with wipe as a newbie. There is a level rule for ground zero, but level 1 doesnt neccesarily mean “newbie”. People I fight are like 5k, 6k hours in, so even if I am level 14 and they are level 1, I am still 100% gonna lose that fight if I dont find a run around. So I dont think ground zero at the moment is a beginner’s playground. Maybe I should wait till these kind of players move on from it? Dunno 🤷

[hardy rain]

it is for me since i have 52k atm

[crude anvil]

takes skill to be this broke ngl

[hardy rain]

eat my ass

[crude anvil]

go sit in a bush for 40 min maybe ull get another 52k lol

[broken warren]

I have 4000 rubles. Thats all I got. I never even seen 1 mil :/

[red anvil]

how does that method work? can you give more info?

[hardy rain]

i will, i hear your moms window is open at night good view

[hoary olive]

what gun should i use when i first start the game

[crude anvil]

ask joe, im not an expert on sitting still for 40min

[bold kernel]

can someone help with my inventory

[red anvil]

you can use kalashnikov

[hoary olive]

who is that

[crude anvil]

74u is the best starter rn

[hoary olive]

there are 3 version of it

[crude anvil]

get the new dustcover and like a pk06 u will be fine

[crude anvil]

24k ruble one

[broken warren]

I’ve been trying the AK74U, thats quite easy to get used to. Also there is one called SKS, that’s also pretty good I thought

I am also a newbie so I am not the best in advices, just what I’ve played with

[crude heron]

im stuck only launching arena and cannot go to the regular game, does anyone have a fix for this?

[hoary olive]

thx

[hoary olive]

thx

[crude anvil]

theres really 0 good weapons to start with

weapons are fine. theres 0 good ammo to start with

ur gonna get alot of flesh damage ammo that doesnt pen armor :0

[untold oracle]

I feel like most of my deaths are because when I'm moving into a new area of the map to loot/quest there is already someone or a squad waiting there who I'm just unable to push alone or is able to jump me without me having any audio/visual cue that they're there. I'm not sprinting all over the place unless I'm out in the open either. Is there any way of stopping this from happening or a better way of getting intel before pushing some place first?

[hoary olive]

so do i just get the normal one ?

[crude anvil]

?

[hoary olive]

ammo

[crude anvil]

theres like 10 different types of 545 bullets in the game

u get prs and us at the start im pretty sure

[autumn crag]

Wouldnt fmj from prapor work or am i wrong

[hoary olive]

ok

[autumn crag]

Isnt that like the definition of armor peircing

[tranquil heart]

how do i take things?

[crude anvil]

f

[autumn crag]

F

[broken warren]

Press F

[tranquil heart]

okii thanks 🙂

[broken warren]

And to move them, you can click ctrl. Moves them to bag or vest

[autumn crag]

Whats that even mean...

[shadow radish]

other chart explains it better

[broken warren]

Can you guys send me a link to that chart?

[crude anvil]

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

[broken warren]

That looks important never seen it before

[shadow radish]

basically on the right the 6 is 100% pen chance and 0 is 0% pen chance

[broken warren]

Thank you!

[crude anvil]

[autumn crag]

Oh okay

[shadow radish]

quest items and keys you need for each trader

[broken warren]

Oh I wanted to ask. Is there a way to do the gunsmith 1 task without jaeger? I keep coming super close but snipers shoot me right next to that plane crash 😒

[shadow radish]

are you looking for the gun?

[broken warren]

No the parts, I found the gun in a raid actually

[shadow radish]

i think youll have to get jaeger

youll need him eventually anyways

[autumn crag]

Talking about jaeger i cannot find the 2 shotguns that prapor asks me to find, im not level 15 yet so i cant just buy them, what do i do 😭😭

[stoic vine]

Yea pistol grip is from Jaeger. Then you'll need either a handguard or sprut as well as a blue laser from Skier

[shadow radish]

you need to find them off scavs or spawn with one on your scav

buying stuff of flea doesnt count as found in raid so you cant turn them in

[broken warren]

And about Jaeger, if I get the letter, do I need to extract or does it work even if I die after?

[shadow radish]

extract

[autumn crag]

Oh my gosh why do they make it so complicated

[shadow radish]

most quests that you have to grab something you have to extract

[crude anvil]

plane crash?

u mean letter?

[stoic vine]

Wait do the Prapor shottys need to be fir now?

[crude anvil]

introduction quest?

[broken warren]

Yepp

[crude anvil]

just go nightime

[shadow radish]

you need 2 found in raid mp133s for debut

[crude anvil]

or later in raid

[crude anvil]

doesnt need to be fir

[shadow radish]

thought it did

[crude anvil]

nope

[stoic vine]

I didnt think so I was over here having a schizo moment jeez.

[shadow radish]

either way theyre gonna be found in raid if you dont have jaeger

[broken warren]

Ok but if I need to extract then maybe later.. I have no clue about woods, just know where the camp is cos of some youtube vid 😂

[crude anvil]

or u could just buy them off fence

[shadow radish]

tru

[shadow radish]

woods is actually not so bad to learn

at least for me

[crude anvil]

woods is the ultimate money printer

[shadow radish]

bunch of hidden loot spawns everywhere

[crude anvil]

bring a pilgrim and leave with an extra 500k in ur stash

[shadow radish]

lowkey love woods more than any other map rn

[crude anvil]

pvp is wack tho. its mostly modjoe's in bushes or timmies

[broken warren]

I think I am just getting overwhelmed trying to do all quests so I try to learn everything at once and not actually learn any of em. I still couldnt finish the ground zero Shooting Cans so that I should learn first I feel like

[shadow radish]

just dont like doing these quests bruh i wish i had 24 hours to play every day

[shadow radish]

yeah just go slow

[broken warren]

Cos.. what would happen if I were to reach level 15 and not done the Shooting Cans yet?

idk, but I also dont wanna find out 😂

[shadow radish]

yeah dont encounter many people tho as long as you loot up north

[crude anvil]

sawmill is dead aswell

[teal garnet]

i heard they may open tthe map to higher levels latter in the wipe

[shadow radish]

whole map honestly feels dead

[crude anvil]

people say its a hotspot but med camp is way more active

[shadow radish]

i hear one sks go off every couple minutes and thats pretty much it

[viscid vector]

most people at this point are running suppressed.

[teal garnet]

USEC camp, military camp and scav town (cause car extract) tend to be the most active parts of the map

[shadow radish]

honestly im still not geared at all so i just hide in some bushes with my kedr when i hear shit go down near me lol

[teal garnet]

hiding helps but scavs can sometimes see through concealment

[viscid vector]

if you have Jaeger unlocked, you should run the OP SKS, throw the dovetail mount on it, and a PSO scope. Best budget gun for woods.

[broken warren]

Is it super dark in night raids? Havent done any yet in Tarkov. I was thinking of maybe doing the woods and/or Ground Zero to make them easier. So on woods I need to find the letter and on ground zero I need to go see the machine gun 🤔

[shadow radish]

pretyy much pitch black i think

i might be mistaken

[teal garnet]

depends on weather and time of night

[shadow radish]

do i need flea for the mount and scope?

[viscid vector]

Nope. Level 1 traders. But you need Jaeger unlocked.

[shadow radish]

i got jaeger i just need the packs of fucking ramen for his fatass

[viscid vector]

He sells the gun and mount, Prapor sells the scope.

[shadow radish]

im fiending for a disposable syringe so bad bro

i cannot get medstation l1 for the life of me

[stoic vine]

out of context this sounds bad

[viscid vector]

I don't touch my hideout for the first week normally. Items are too valuable, would rather sell early and buy later when they're worthless.

[shadow radish]

fair

[crude anvil]

woods medcamp get like 3 everytime i loot the med crates and bags

[shadow radish]

yeah i should start going there

its like the most active part of woods rn though for some reason

[viscid vector]

If you're looking for easy med items, run Shoreline scavs, go to resort. People are terrible at looting.

[shadow radish]

been doing that recently

[teal garnet]

caches have them too

[viscid vector]

Tons of bags everywhere, and normally it is not contested this early in the wipe.

[shadow radish]

301 glitch hasnt been treating me good though

[viscid vector]

I hope they patch that soon. All of the locked rooms are being exploited.

[shadow radish]

yeah

just want them to patch it after i get my 1m rubles from the room lmao

[viscid vector]

I spent 3m on my Shoreline keys, shits silly.

[stable geode]

hey, is it normal that normal that my item in my inventor take a loading time to see the picture?

[viscid vector]

It's a bug that periodically happens.

[stable geode]

it take about 15- 20 s to fully load

[shadow radish]

is your game on hard drive or ssd

cause i think if its on hard drive stuff is generally gonna take longer to load

[stable geode]

im pretty sure, that i download this game on ssd

[viral prawn]

Clear your cache

[stable geode]

i'm not sure how

[viral prawn]

Launcher, little gear above play button

[blissful kraken]

anyone know why I can't register an account?

[crude anvil]

airdrops non fir items :/

[viral prawn]

YEah

[teal garnet]

i swear this god damm hard drive mechanic wants

[blissful kraken]

anyone know why I can't register an account?

[limber zinc]

that is really weird. airdrops should have FIR loot. maybe a visual bug?

[flat pumice]

yo i just found comtac 4s in raid and im thinking about holding on to them

[stable geode]

and yeah other thing, since i played this game from yesterday i only had a few stable ping lobby, most of the game i never had stable one

[flat pumice]

i feel like the price will skyrocket in time

[bold kernel]

where extract point sin facotry fasttt

[limber zinc]

good headphones, would keep

[teal garnet]

probably gate 3

[limber zinc]

gate 3

[bold kernel]

where is gate 3

[crude anvil]

at gate 3

[flat pumice]

where are u now

quick

[limber zinc]

big red gate northwest most point of factory

[teal garnet]

bunch of shipping contains in the unloading area and far right side had forlifts

[limber zinc]

do a 180 and go straight

[flat pumice]

turn around and go straight

[limber zinc]

it will be a big gate on your left once you get past the building

[flat pumice]

you will live brother

trust

[teal garnet]

2 sets of doors to pass

[flat pumice]

check for rats

@bold kernel did u make it

[frigid finch]

there is definitely something fucked up about scavs aim now with the new hitboxes, it is super clear they didnt adjust them

[flat pumice]

that goofy lookin gun

i love it

[crude anvil]

back to scav shotgun u go!

[frigid finch]

nah just gonna use my RD

ran out of m855 ammo anyway

[crude anvil]

these cookies are so fucking dry but i cant stop eating them

[urban wolf]

Also another reason bear is better

[frigid finch]

ive died to scavs 4 times this wipe, all 4 were head throat and nearly instant...im pretty sure its a fuck up on BSGs part with new hitboxes, as im pretty sure all of those shots wouldve been thorax hits before

[teal garnet]

I only get throated by scavs during day time runs, night they are blind af

[urban wolf]

Idk, ill just put some celox-A in that throat wound

[crude anvil]

id love to get throated by a scav ngl. all this questing shit isnt stressful enough

[teal garnet]

grround zero has got to be the most stressful map ive seen yet

[teal garnet]

streets just gave me aniexity this is fucking stressful

[crude anvil]

where normally shotguns do nothing

THEY HIT MY PIT MAN

[stable geode]

HEY, I NEED HELP , this is my fourth times in a row that i got kicked from a server because of high ping

[stable geode]

this is pissing me off so much

[mystic wagon]

What’s the best ammo available before flea?

[spiral elk]

when dose it restock ?

[crude anvil]

when it restocks

[viral grail]

Here's a timer

[carmine arch]

same

[spiral elk]

ty

[formal hemlock]

how do i unlock hall of fame

[hasty summit]

so i completed the one task and i dont think i got my rewards

nvm!

i am dumb you have to click complete

also should i be building up the hideout ASAP?

[solid topaz]

You might want the gym

[hasty summit]

i am just starting so like the next thing i can build is like the vents and lights

[summer compass]

can the packs of instant noodles be found at goshan

[formal hemlock]

alright

[crude anvil]

man i love shitline sooo much :))) shoabing_xinglao white name prefire insta hs

surely hes legit

[silent python]

which suppersor shuld i buy for aks 74u?

[crude anvil]

cheapest

[broken warren]

Question. Can I do the “Kill any 5 targets on Ground Zero” quest with scav maybe?

Or does it have to be pmc?

[crude anvil]

pmx

the only quests u can do with scavs are where u need fir items

nothing else

[smoky plank]

¿Where can I get or buy an ammo case?

[broken warren]

Aah okay. That is actual useful info 👀

I finally found the stupid guns after maybe 20 raids of me dying to a person camping the room with the gun btw 🙂 I was super proud 😂

[teal garnet]

both PMCs and scavs count

[formal prism]

5.45 Ammo - hp vs PRS gs?

these are my options

[broken warren]

But I have to be PMC regardless

[unique plover]

Look at eft-ammo.com

[teal garnet]

yes, you can only do quests as PMC, scav can only get items/make money for you

[broken warren]

I was trying to check if I could do a scav run for it. That was my question

Yepp.. so basically I can do the “find this in raid” quests with scav, but nothing else

[teal garnet]

you dont wanna kill scavs as a scav, it will lower your fence rep, increase prices of car extracts, and spawn with worse scav gear

[broken warren]

I actually did that once by mistake just cos I have no clue how to tell scav players apart from pmcs 😂

I can pick the ai scavs from the rest cos they just stand around and stuff

[teal garnet]

look at the legs/feet, scavs have really ragged outfits and footwear

also the later it gets in a raid the less likely PMCs will be around, due to accomplishing tasks, being full on loot, running out of food/water and danger of just sticking around till tons of scavs are out

[stable geode]

hey, this game is having some problems with me. First, i played as Scav and then stuck in awaiting session start for like 10 m and i decided to Alt f4 and my Scav is on cooldow, so i went to PMC and right now it's stuck at waiting for player for whole 5 mins

and when it finally found a server

ty

[broken warren]

The problem is that.. I at least try to not shoot scavs, but I always end up getting killed by one 😦

I finished that kill 5 task btw. Shot 5 in just 1 raid it was insane

[teal garnet]

if you do shoot any scav as a scav you become a 'traitor' scav, its hard for player scavs to identify unless they see it, but AI scav will treat you like a PMC

[primal flower]

I just got a compass from twitch drops, will it ever go away? unless i put it in my pouch? (im not at my pc very much so please reply to me if you can)

[broken warren]

This happens only in that raid right? Like, they won’t shoot me 2 raids after?

[crude anvil]

compass is useless

[primal flower]

Really?

[crude anvil]

99.9% of the time yes

[stable geode]

and other one

[iron pier]

can anyone help with mole quest keep dying to rats, any region i dont mind

[versed valley]

I cant play right now but i highly recommend just waiting out 15minutes in some safe spot, literally empty raids past that point because of how cramped the map is.

[teal garnet]

i just did it US west, I got into the building went through room 3 got the HDD by going through the ledge and then sat in room 3 for 15mins

at that point im pretty sure i just mostly had scavs to worry about

[versed valley]

After waiting 15minutes i literally never heard a single shot fired, and i was walking all around the map for like 20 minutes, no scavs either

Its insane how quiet it was

[teal garnet]

also you want emercom extract, getting all the way to nakatani basement is super dangerous and the car extract takes too long and is often taken

[versed valley]

Flare extract is also decant

[teal garnet]

yeah but only if you have a flare

[versed valley]

And the flare spawns on the dead scav there 100% of the time but obv someone can take it first

[teal garnet]

oh it does?

didnt know that

[versed valley]

Yep

The one that is bumped against the bus right before the extract

And do you know when pscavs start spawning in?

[teal garnet]

well other than getting the wine quests i do wanna head back to that godforsaken map

[versed valley]

Because that is generally when you wanna leave

[versed valley]

Imo amazing pvp map

Factory 2.0

[broken warren]

So.. this task asks me to hand over 2 MP-155 12ga shotguns. And I did just get one of em from my scav run. Why doesnt it let me turn this in?

[versed valley]

Its mp153

[teal garnet]

yes, which is why i think its terrible for a tutorial map

[versed valley]

Not mp155 thats needed

[broken warren]

Ooh okay yes this aint the gun 🙂 thank you

[teal garnet]

mp133

dont even need to be FIR

[broken warren]

Yeah but I dont have Jaeger, I think he sells em?

So yeah even more reason to learn woods and finally unlock him

[versed valley]

Literally my first raid on the map and i found the funny room

[versed valley]

Oh yea i typed it wrong

The pump action one

[vernal stirrup]

Is there a website to see every bullet damage and pen? That’s updated to 0.14?

[teal garnet]

i hit that mine at one point too, took me 35 raids to get the mechanic quest done

[versed valley]

I died like 4 times before i just waited 15 minutes and it was basicly single player tarkov

[teal garnet]

think there up to date here
https://www.eft-ammo.com/

[versed valley]

tarkovballistics has updated one pretty sure but i suspect wiki already updated theirs

[teal garnet]

i did try the wait strat several times but ran into rats, and ran out of money several times

[versed valley]

I just scav into factory and instantly extract and so far i am only gaining

That should mostly cover your death costs

[crude anvil]

was glukhar be he just dipped from the fight 😦

[versed valley]

And another thing especially when playing solo is to walk when its safe to do so, so many times i just hear groups running towards me long before they hear me so i can just escape

[crude anvil]

got the rpd but

shit is busted

[versed valley]

Super high rof 762x39 with big drum

What else you need

[crude anvil]

and like 30 dura

[versed valley]

[teal garnet]

is it gone or am i blind?

i spawned UN roadblock so thought id be the first here

[viral prawn]

in the square part to the right

[quartz sonnet]

Poke your face around in the snowy area and you'll see the white dot pop up to loot

[viral prawn]

It's bound to your person, so it only matters if YOUR on the quest, did you press accept?

[teal garnet]

i am on the quest

got tthe d'find' iot part done

[versed valley]

On my second raid i had left mouse click unbound

[fossil dust]

can someone help me in begginers 10 with my lucky scavs, i dont know what i need or to take away

[teal garnet]

got it!

[viral prawn]

i didn't see it, i just KNOW it's there

having walked hundreds of people through this one, i hear the "Somebody looted it" once a week

and it makes me want to smash peoples faces in

[teal garnet]

yeah i havent played last too wipes thought it was more to the left

[viral prawn]

just because quest items are player bound

so no quest item can be picked up by another player if your on the quest

[teal garnet]

and someone just took bridge extgract so now i gotta go outskirts yay

[viral prawn]

That was me and my friend

my woods car is down to 0.04 rep already

[teal garnet]

i got surronded by 3 scavs and died

[median niche]

on what level do u unlock weeklies?

[viral prawn]

10 or 15

[median niche]

ty

[tender raft]

is it normal to use online resources when playing tarkov? cus otherwise i feel it'd be way to difficult

[crude anvil]

yes

[quartz sonnet]

tarkov market, the wiki, and map genie are the most I use

[versed valley]

Very much so

[median bone]

can anyone help this error wont go away and keeps reseting what i am doing

[versed valley]

Server bug most likely, restart your game if it keeps happening

[median bone]

ok will try that thanks for your help

[versed valley]

This is usually just the server not registering your input so when it updates and does the checks it sees something that it didnt register so it lags you back.

[median bone]

ok, this might also be tied to the reason why i keep dc and server connection error when i join games as well i fail to get in sometimes

[versed valley]

Then it might be your internet because i have not noticed any server issues myself

[median bone]

i dunno i wasnt having the issue pre wipe and net works well otherwise, is there a way to test it

[versed valley]

Not really, tarkov connection issues generally are not tied to measurable things like packet loss or ping

[median bone]

yeh its random too sometimes often sometimes not, ill wait a few weeks see if it gets better as servers might get less load post wipe

[crude anvil]

which quest unlocks 762 \ps

[fierce willow]

@quiet crystal hiya can i drop a weapon or gear for my friends in raid ? sorry 2 people said ill get banned is this true ?

[quiet crystal]

If its not as much to be considered RMT you will be ok

[fierce willow]

@quiet crystal so its not RMT we are IRL friends and hes broke and i want to help him with a weapon and some armour that he will use in raid and if we survive

@quiet crystal i dont wanna get banned for helping a IRL friend out who doesnt play as much as me xD

[quiet crystal]

It would be best if you can teach your friend how to get the gears 🙂

[fierce willow]

@quiet crystal is there anywhere i can read up on the rules for dropping friends equiipment ingame ?

[fast needle]

whats the best place to get tarkov shooter p4 done

[versed valley]

I'd say shoreline

Woods is decant too but way more... woods... which isnt prefered for long range

[summer compass]

where can i reliably find packs of instant noodles, ive checked goshan 3 times, dozens of duffle bags and rations crates and over 60 scavs

[vapid copper]

its hard to see but its there

[fast needle]

i am too shit to do sbih so ill just leave the tarkov shooter questline for the rest of wipe probably

[mystic spear]

Good morning guys (and happy new year to y'all) did anyone tried Lighthouse as a Bear and can they tell me how far a rogue does shoot you on sight ?

Cause i want to use the car extract in there and i'm not sure if they'll laser me from their camp even if i try to avoid them as much as possible.

[nimble ridge]

[autumn crag]

damnn

unlucky

[autumn crag]

yes it worked man thank you

[versed valley]

The map is hella cramped with lots of players so most people will kill each other past the 15-20minute mark, works on other maps too but not as well

[autumn crag]

yeah true

[versed valley]

👍

[autumn crag]

[versed valley]

[versed valley]

You need to do the first mechanic task then "introduction" task

[autumn crag]

thats so lame i got rep for him thats why i thought i was gonna get him

[versed valley]

Gunsmith part1? Not introduction?

[autumn crag]

same thing i think

okay so im like lost on quests what do people normally tend to do like first to last

im absolutely new

have only done debut and the therapist ground zero quest

[versed valley]

I just kinda do what i feel like/need rep for/have the most quests on a certain map but when starting out i focus on getting jegear unlocked first

[unkempt egret]

Use the wiki as a quest guide, try to do the Ground zero quests first

any general solo advice? i normally play with a group , im pretty bad

[lofty basalt]

i just started this wipe but struggling with the first ground zero quest the spawns seem to be next to eachother died 3 times now

[solid topaz]

Hold position for a bit when you spawn. Take a building and wait for a bit. Try to work inside, and not so much outside of buildings.

[sleek briar]

Anyone know where the UAV moved to for Eagle Eye? Original location by weather station is now a lake

[lofty basalt]

Makes sense ty I really need the quest where u get the harddrive just been trying to run for it

[fresh vale]

If my armor has 70 armor points, and my plate has 30, does that mean I have 100 armor points in the specific place ?

[orchid isle]

Armor points don’t really mean much bc every armor is diff

Its the % that matters

[teal garnet]

Where have you guys been finding noodle packs?

[solid topaz]

In ration crates mostly.

[sleek briar]

Got it, cheers!

[valid saffron]

anyone want to party up for a few raids im pretty new

[daring stag]

I swear most of my deaths are just a random bullet to the face. Like 6 bullets into the other dude, get shot in the chin and Im down.

[nocturne moat]

is this needed for a task

[midnight locust]

Nope

It's also in an annoying to get to spot requiring a certain questline

Honestly best to sell imo

[nocturne moat]

if i make out of raid i prolly will

[random sinew]

its almost always better to sell if not needed for a task

even if you want the item just rebuy it

the flea market rep is worth alot

[odd skiff]

are any of these good?

[atomic hawk]

Naw there pointless

[odd skiff]

swag

[teal garnet]

Probably some of the dorms one, the RB-ST key is used as part of 3 different quests I think

worth holding onto at least till the flea, if the room they unlock doesnt have some worth a ton then it usually part of a quest

[fickle thistle]

Hey guys. What's wrong with my SKS for gunsmith part 4?

I cant subnit this one 😦

[odd skiff]

im having that problem with the shotgun

[fickle thistle]

Did you add a laser to your shotgun?

[solid abyss]

use the wiki. it looks nothing like what you built

[fickle thistle]

Actually, it does. The stats match the requirements

[odd skiff]

everything is on the shotgun that should be there

[solid abyss]

obviously not considering you can’t turn it in

[solid abyss]

why is there a grip then?

[fickle thistle]

ok, removed the grip, cant turn in

Isnt this the wiki build?

[solid abyss]

the gas block

[solid topaz]

You need to have the adapter to put the usp-1 on it

[frosty veldt]

Has anyone here got the X-RAY room key

Don't feel like forking over an arm and a leg but might have too

[fickle thistle]

Thank bro. Changed the stock and it worked!

[novel briar]

what are the SPEC special slots in your gear? i cant seem to use them for anything

[solid topaz]

They are for orange items marked SPEC. Like Markers for some of Prapors quest. You can also put a rangefinder in there if you want one.

You won't lose items in your SPEC slots.

[sinful pond]

[teal garnet]

i fired the green flare it said singal area active ran straight forward and got shot by the scav sniper, what did I do wrong?

[tender raft]

pretty sure an ai scav shot me for no reason, then i got shat on from who know where. I don't een know how I died, ground zero suksss

[fossil pilot]

does anyone have tips on how to do the quests on ground zero other than rng

[fluid rain]

whats the average armour in dorms rn

[lone lion]

Play with someone it rlly helped me since I got stuck on scientist quest for ages #pvp-lfg

[fossil pilot]

You make it look easy

[lone lion]

Wdym

[glass lantern]

deadass, where are yall finding the gas analyzers, still havent seen one and ive been running my scav on reserve hitting filing cabs

[random viper]

you can find them in hidden stashes or by looking for technical crates, the new map has a lot on the underground part, customs has a few in the fortress and interchange is the best for most things

[glacial ginkgo]

what happens if i have EU version and i buy upgrade from US? will it downgrade to US?

so i will never be able to play from EU again

[bold kernel]

where do you find spark plugs?

[random viper]

I belive your account is linked and the EU ASIA NA etc are just server based but it's probably best to seek a line of inquery with bsg on the website

[random viper]

technical spawns mainly

[glacial ginkgo]

because now my account is EU based but can play in US servers

[bold kernel]

like what

[glacial ginkgo]

but if my account was US i could not play EU

[random viper]

you can still change servers to play EU, again best seeking support from the developers with regards to this issue their email is on the website 🙂

[teal garnet]

Ran and saw extracting pop up and sniper scav shot me

[glacial ginkgo]

yea ty!!

[random viper]

Spark plugs are found in technical spawns and general loot the wiki is best to use for this kind of info 🙂

[bold kernel]

ah ok

[burnt token]

u do need a green flare , can be looted on the dead body just before crossing the bus on the right , wait a good 7 to 15 sec after shooting it into the sky in direction of where u were going , now should never get shot again there :)

at least not by the scav sniper

[random viper]

green flares can be purchased from jaeger lvl 1 for 6019 rubels

[burnt token]

100% spawn rate just in fron the the exit if im not wrong

[random viper]

no clue about that just better to bring one into raid since they are really cheap 🙂

[glacial sorrel]

anyone would like to help with street quest the stores for jager?

[random viper]

#pvp-lfg is the best place to go if you need help with questing

[teal garnet]

look the flare signal says its active you can SEE the flare in the picture falling

[teal garnet]

i looted it from the body

[burnt token]

from the picture , u may had shot the flare from 2 far away or went to late

[random viper]

sometimes you need to shoot it above the extraction area in a less of a tangent arc

[teal garnet]

it said it was active and extracting even popped up

[burnt token]

well there was a problem because u did got shot by the scav , all im saying is u can try in offline mode to get it done and get it how it work , from what i know alots of people shot it from 2 far away :)

[teal garnet]

i double check a video to make sure im not missing anything that was my 3rd attempt to use that extract

[burnt token]

i recommend trying in offline :) at least make it work twice so u don,t have to deal with the stress of dying there anymore

[teal garnet]

my stress would be gone if only i had the wine

then hopefully id never have to return to that god forsaken map, though in my 5 attempts to get the wine before i ran out of money for gear, i killed the same hatchling twice, dude didnt even have a pistol

[random viper]

which direction are you firing the flare in (sorry for the poor drawing)

[teal garnet]

i tried B, and C i think if you mean left, right or center, as for angle i got once low once staring ahead and one head pointing straight up

i assume though the fact i get a notification about the flare is cause its telling me its working, that only pops up a few seconds after shooting the flare and only if im a bit past the sniper sign

[random viper]

try and aim between A & B within the signal area the mechanics of the extract won't work properly if the green flair isn't directed properly within the correct area and make a sprint for it after a few seconds of it going off if you go instantly you'll prob die, give it time to work its the only advice I could adequitly give 🙂

[fathom ocean]

what level is gz locked at?

[fluid rain]

<20

[wispy wigeon]

Yo, how do you do 404 damage to someones legs and they survive? Honest question. I don't know how that works i guess.....

[whole thistle]

You need to do 440 damage to kill someone with limb shots

[wispy wigeon]

ah ok

[whole thistle]

You only need to do 85 to kill to the chest or 35 to the head

[wispy wigeon]

ohhhhhh

Ok, that's where i got it fked up then thank you

I feel bad for the dude i just lit up then lol.

I'm trying to get these damn keys for customs tasks and i ran straight to the unknown key and this dude walked up. lit his legs up for 404 and he one-tapped me to the head with a suppressed sniper

[whole thistle]

Lmao

[wispy wigeon]

yeah, luckily i stuck the key up my butt so he didn't get it 😉 haha

[vagrant cargo]

isnt it more now

[whole thistle]

That store is full of bottles it confuses me a lot 😉

[abstract remnant]

I think you extract somewhere else

[edgy elbow]

[fallen sapphire]

hey, i just bought the edge of darkness, and i cant download arena.. normal or not?

you walked past the car and died to the out of bounds sniper

[whole thistle]

you have to wait for access

its gotten pretty quick

[edgy elbow]

2/2 scav runs I did both ended on MIA because of this BS, PMC runs are fine tho

[fallen sapphire]

i got this email too

[whole thistle]

idk follow the instruction i guess

[fallen sapphire]

maybe its mee

[vagrant cargo]

why do yall insist on scavving tho

[fallen sapphire]

did tho but idk

[edgy elbow]

my PC is pretty up to date, but I wanna warm up on scav, get a feel for the pace

[vagrant cargo]

dont ur waiting a while just to play with no xp gain

[edgy elbow]

im also a lil late to the wipe, so while im running around with Ironsights, people already have modded AKs

[keen fossil]

Scaving is just free money

[vagrant cargo]

people are all level 30 already u aint competing

[keen fossil]

facts

just run Mp9n

That guns has negative recoil

[edgy elbow]

on scav you can just get lucky on spoils of war tho. Which is what I usually hope for

[abstract remnant]

Damn, I got shot on the back of the car so I ran behind it

[whole thistle]

rip

[edgy elbow]

draw a 4th Letter, above the head, straight up

[valid token]

Yeah the bottle you need to pick up isn’t distinct enough imo

[rough dove]

'what do i do with tags in the game

dog tags***

[whole thistle]

keep for quests and trades

[spiral elk]

whats a good early pistol build

[vagrant cargo]

none

[spiral elk]

to kill scavs with and finish quests ?

[whole thistle]

cant really build much on pistols esp pre flea

[vagrant cargo]

early pistols are invariably dogshit use a kedr

[spiral elk]

which pistol to get then ?

glock ?

[whole thistle]

if you have gear in your stash just use that

[spiral elk]

i forgot about kedr

[whole thistle]

no reason to nerf yourself

[vagrant cargo]

ur better off using a saiga 9 even

isnt the saiga 9 even cheaper than most pistols

[spiral elk]

i just want to finish a quest but its kinda hard on geound zero

[vagrant cargo]

pistol running is actual trolling unless u have a glock 18 or a 5-7/shrimp

[grand vault]

Hello everyone! Happy new year and good wishes to you!
I would like to know how can I ask for someone like a sherpa to learn the game while playing 🙂

[ebon sage]

not sure about sherpas but you can ask in the lfg channel

[grand vault]

ok thanks

[vapid peak]

had arena for about a week now keep getting kicked on loading loot and game crashes my pc runs tarkov in max 1440 easily i have really good wifi tried 2 fresh installs updated drivers cleared cache havent been able to play a match yet any iodeas on whats going on?

[ancient meteor]

guys is there any porblem on scav raids İ can't go on scav raids it doesnt find a atch on any map

[vagrant cargo]

why does everyone want to scav

[ancient meteor]

im broke

[vagrant cargo]

go get pmc xp thats way more useful

[ancient meteor]

no im a rat

[carmine oxide]

alright I think im done with this game what is wrong with scavs...

[fathom ocean]

keep getting kicked out of queues too I think matchmaking just fucked rn

[carmine oxide]

y'all think I can hit an hour ?

[ancient meteor]

you will

[carmine oxide]

yeah fk it i'll just dip then

[whole thistle]

ppl scared to play pmc

[vagrant cargo]

go rat on ur pmc ?

[raven wedge]

Here is my stash what do u lot think i should sell or might need in the near future

[tulip kettle]

Do scavs like intentionally fucking target arms?

[ancient meteor]

why when there is scav

[tulip kettle]

first second its agroed on me it blacks both my arms from 20 feet away

[vagrant cargo]

have fun not having flea then

[ancient meteor]

yep i will

[vagrant cargo]

scav mains really not contributing anything to raids thats crazyy

[ancient meteor]

i don't buy anything

in game

i just go raids with fir items

anyway

[mellow matrix]

L mindset

[viral prawn]

Better than your head

[mellow matrix]

tarkov is about making cool guns and using the cool guns to get more cool guns, change my mind

[viral prawn]

Right, like folding the stock on a kedr so your dude uses it like an ass like a giant pistol, but because it's not a component doesn't effect vertical recoil

[vagrant cargo]

i was actually wondering if they fixed that

[viral prawn]

You can't fix stupid

[subtle basin]

do i need bit coins for a task i cant remember if i do or not ?

[marble ether]

how do u unlock the big raid backpack trade. wiki is outdated, prapor 4 doesnt sell it

[keen fossil]

They lock on thorax

So they often hit arms

[marble ether]

yes. they prioritize arms and legs. this is for your benefit

[keen fossil]

That’s just not true ????

Unless they changed something I’m like 90% sure they aim thorax

[viral prawn]

they aim for thorax, but someone did a test and got shot at over 10,000 times and your most likely to be struck left arm first (17%)

[pine sleet]

thats because the left arms is the one holding the grip at the front of the rifle. It covers up most of your upperbody

[fluid python]

hi am new and need to play interchange go to all the stores and kill 24 more scavs https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/724759073085456434

[nocturne moat]

how do i go shoreline without getting spawn camped cod style

[grim rose]

is it normal that my scav has absoutely no gear?

[jolly plank]

any recommendation for doing the recording mission from mechanic that has you go into rogue area in lighthouse? I was doing good until I aggro'd like 4 rogues and they just leveled me with PS through lv 4 armor instantly lmao once they rounded corner

[viral prawn]

I've never seen this, probaby not no

[crystal needle]

Hello does anyone know how to fix to not being able to join servers

[limber tiger]

yes i do explain to me your problem ?

[crystal needle]

everytime i try to join it will load until it says joining server and then it will disconnect ive looked up on reddit and the forums and nothing is working and its shit as i just bought the game to stream it 😦

[limber tiger]

Well one problem could be that the game cant load becasue of lack or permissions

[lethal sail]

Learn the spawns. All of them. When raid starts, you figure out where you are, where enemies spawned and run and hide somewhere away from them. Not too far so they don't spot you running, but not too close either. Wait 5-10min and continue your raid

[limber tiger]

so try runnning the game on admin

[limber tiger]

if thent restart your pc

[nocturne moat]

just find a bush and start my raid 10 min after?

[limber tiger]

no one would really do that

[lethal sail]

Wait for close to the end of a raid, most of them are hopefully dead by then. Scav players also come and kill the rest for what's left. Wait until the end of raid to go there

[crystal needle]

trying that now

[limber tiger]

got it

[crystal needle]

i have tried restarting it muliple times

[lethal sail]

Pretty much. If you spawn in the village, you are lucky, hide in one of the houses and wait there. Otherwise, bush is your best option.

[limber tiger]

can we hop in a call and you can share screen it to me so i can see the problem first hand ?

[crystal needle]

sure3

[viral prawn]

this isn't good

[bold kernel]

bruh bunker part 3 is hard to do bcs is so contested xd

[graceful cliff]

Does anyone have a spare zabralo

I need it badly

[white hinge]

anyone tryna help run through these ground zero tasks

[junior oyster]

I just got the game today can someone help me?

[tardy fern]

Any Sherpas wanna help me? Just started today.

[storm mesa]

i had a bug where my mag was blinking and i couldnt do anything. i left thinking i could rejoin and just suicided lol. how do i fix that bug? i lost a lot of good stuff cause of it

[novel lotus]

not getting any audio, game isnt showing up in sound settings. any ideas? already verfied game files

[limber tiger]

so one problem could be your head set or speakers

[limber tiger]

if it is the game tho its just a glitch restart your game or just wait for it to go away

[rain mica]

do you guys use binaural audio or is it still bad

[novel lotus]

Audio has been fine on other games, gonna try a clean install of the launcher and game

[queen ore]

can anyone tell me what stock this this for sks? ty

[limber tiger]

yes it is

are you doing gunsmith ?

if you are i can gladly help you

[queen ore]

Just building a gun I made early last wipe, but dont remember how. XD I watched a youtube video I can no longer find. R u open to dm>?

[limber tiger]

i am yes

[bold kernel]

how does insurance actually work im not getting anything back around 24hrs later

[novel lotus]

Only works if someone else doesnt pick up and extract with your gear

[bold kernel]

ohhhh ok

[tropic void]

do noodles spawn in ration crates? ive only found them as loose loot and i sold them cuz i didnt know i needed them

ive searched like 40 ration crates and found none

[bold kernel]

what is happening with scavs im not able to load into anything

[limber tiger]

it just takes awhile they made it to where you spawn earlyer in the raids so it takes longer to find the right one

[limber tiger]

they do some of the best places to find them are sawmill and vilage on woods

[tropic void]

ah guess im just really unlucky then

[rare vault]

Make sure to check scav loot as well, got both done after I checked a few scavs, and got it from their backpacks

[mellow matrix]

i feel this

lv16 and still not found that last pack of fucking ramen

[rare vault]

Lvl 14 here, literally didn’t get either until last night in a single raid when I was killing scavs on woods

[azure pecan]

i have an issue with scavs, i cant really play as a scav it keeps Matching but doesnt find a game any idea?

[tawdry sun]

hello fellas im searching for a friend to play my first ever raid anyone whos up?

[stone ivy]

Hey, does anyone know for the shooting cans quest if you have to actually extract or do you just need to find the shit, and get 5 kills?

[muted knoll]

Don't think you need to extract

[stone ivy]

How long are you waiting? can take 15 mins sometimes

[warm spindle]

i needed to match for 10 minutes to find a game

[stone ivy]

ty

[azure pecan]

over 30min

[muted knoll]

Even streamers are at 10+ min scav times you know its bad

[stone ivy]

add more regions?

[azure pecan]

alr lemme try

[stone ivy]

I hear thats pretty typical early wipe though?

[void aurora]

what budget loadouts are we running?

[stone ivy]

knife

[void aurora]

haha

[hexed dirge]

the cheapest loadouts are the ones you don’t pay for

[halcyon stirrup]

yay raperathist lvl 3

[void aurora]

just wondering which armour and helmets to run

[hexed dirge]

ah so that’s a good question

[azure pecan]

all tier 4's

not lower

scav worked!!!

[hexed dirge]

it depends on where you’re going but ac4 is where you get the most bang for your buck

it’ll stop most small rounds and some shit large calibers

hit boxes have changed significantly so some armors are much much worse/better this patch

[void aurora]

ac4? who sells that

[hexed dirge]

it’s only a barter early levels

[void aurora]

ah

im lvl 9 atm

[hexed dirge]

you gotta grind some but try to search some pmc bodies on ground zero

[void aurora]

managed to get jager done

[hexed dirge]

high armor spawn rate

[void aurora]

now just keep dying to mosins on woods looking for prapors convoy lol

[void aurora]

too much of a warzone to get out alive on ground zero lol

[forest skiff]

is it better to play with the colors super blown out as I see most streamers play?

[solemn skiff]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-W-2KhnpLY
Can someone explain why I died here?

[hexed dirge]

from an evolutionary standpoint, all the best predators have color vision

it’s an advantage

[solemn skiff]

Your color and gamma settings are mostly personnel preference but having certain colors more bright if you will is objectively better, you should watch a video on graphic settings etc on yt

[hexed dirge]

the signal flare area has been very picky what it chooses to accept

[spark ruin]

you got shot

[random viper]

no painkillers, also it looks like an out of bounds area of the map more so than an extract

[hexed dirge]

it’s an extract on ground zero but sometimes the signal space isn’t well defined

[vapid sentinel]

so i seen a jaeger quest unlock the ap-m craft. but its not T2 bench anymore. anyone know were it was moved too

[runic compass]

Bro where can I find tape measures? I’ve searched so many toolboxes

[worn drum]

any tricks to get $ spent up on skiier or peacekeeper?

[wise dew]

Idk judging by the cracks and the blood spatter coming out your chest I'm going to assume that you were shot in the chest by a person with a gun?

[west cairn]

Who to turn Chem Part. 4 in?

Therapist, Skier or Prapor?

[hexed dirge]

technical supply crates and filing cabinets

[ruby adder]

You wandered into the scav snipers area without a green flare being fired up first

[vapid sentinel]

back of interchange (emercom/powerstation side) the whole back wall spawns tools

[hexed dirge]

interchange can be dicey for a beginner it’s got a weird flow imo

[vapid sentinel]

sniper scav

[hexed dirge]

but it do be having tools

[forest skiff]

does anyone have recommended display colo settings for tarkov in AMD adrenaline?

[ruby adder]

Early wipe, goshan is generally the place you'll see people, until they start ragman tasks.. Then it gets fun

[hexed dirge]

i haven’t got that far in my wipes yet

good tip

[daring stag]

WTF is this? I killed this guy, then he headshot me. He was not a player.

[forest skiff]

desync

[daring stag]

No way.. I was looting him and he killed me....
