[dawn geyser]

lol

[frosty musk]

I just played my first arena match and went 1 and 6 lmao

[sharp socket]

Nah arena is pretty good tbh, recent matchmaking changes have been helpful and your gonna get in similar geared lobbies

Plus death isn’t really that consequential in the end so it’s pretty fun

[dawn geyser]

I have a blast

[fathom ocean]

aye rq is santas bag worth carrying

[dawn geyser]

Not 10/10 in it's current state

[dawn geyser]

Why not, it's big

[fathom ocean]

red

[dawn geyser]

Throw on a hat and beard

People might hesistate to shoot you

[fathom ocean]

bet im finna keep it

[dawn geyser]

Since you lose karma from it

(Killing Santa)

[fathom ocean]

over my achhc?

[sharp socket]

Prior to the balancing changes arena could be pretty crap if you got matched with like a T4 or T5 kit with your T0 or T1 kit because your PST pp-19 was doing nothing to that mans altyn and redut-m

[dawn geyser]

That's up to you =p

If you want to be deceptive

[fathom ocean]

made it out w it

[covert bane]

where can u find promo codes?

[orchid isle]

??codes

[carmine lantern]

There are currently no promotional codes

Why you trying to cheat though?

[lilac crest]

Arena for me is

(i'm the victim)

[mild gorge]

Guys I'm not a beginner, but did the UAV's move locations?? Can't find them anywhere

[modern hemlock]

Can S I C C pouches be sold on the flea this wipe??

[clear hollow]

can your armpit be hit while facing someone frontally? Just got onetapped by 7mm buckshot hitting my armpit apparently while looking at the guy

[gilded elm]

Not sure but I died to the same thing but shot in the back yestaday

[clear hollow]

Might aswell not pay for armor anymore since it seems pointless, rogues completly ignore it aswell

[gilded elm]

Armpit meta ? 😂

[viral grail]

Yea

[nimble junco]

trying to load in on woods, but every time it tells me game aborted try again. i get my loot back if i confirm leave but i cant get in raid. is there a fix for this or smth?

[hot pike]

when scavving on reserve, some exfils are highlighted in green with .3 and the reputation symbol next to it. I can only assume this means you get +.3 fence rep for taking it. has been randomly armored train and bunker hermetic door in my past few runs. however i just checked and i only went from .62 to .63 fence rep in this last run that I just did. is this bugged or am i assuming wrong that its fence rep?

[iron pier]

9 hours of ground zero raids done all quests except the mole (getting the hd out) can anybody help me get it done?

[blazing depot]

What quest from parpor do u get ammo cases

I’m on delivery from the pass

[small idol]

chemical 4 i think

[blazing depot]

How far down the quest line is that

And or is there a quicker way to get it

[bold kernel]

or do you mean reward from quest ?

[blazing depot]

I don’t have eod so my stash is bad to try and get everything put away I’m just trying to find ways to save some space

[clear hollow]

Is there any logical reason for fir ammo not beeing able to stock up? its really awful searching for ammo everytime because the game wont let you stock up

[bold kernel]

so fastest one is big customer (chem 4) but it's after golden swag from skier

so after 2 flash drives

[clear hollow]

turning it into prapor is gonna be really expensive to get therapist back up again tho

[blazing depot]

ok

[bold kernel]

yep im always turning it to therapist so

but he wanted to know so i just told him

[runic barn]

one of these runs a live through a pmc run lol

[frosty musk]

Oh yeah I'm getting shit on but it's really fun

And really helpful to

With my time limit and it being hard to play to much tarkov, I've probably experienced a weeks worth of combat in about 3 matches

And I kinda like the progression now

Reason to use worse kits, and something to look forward to and work towards

Biggest issue is you get stuck

Would maybe be nice if XP was a currency

And instead of automatically applying it to the next kit in the tree

You could apply it elsewhere

And choose how much

[smoky wedge]

does any1 know what this scope is called and from which trader (assuming its from lv1)

[bold kernel]

it's 553 and it's from peacekeeper 3

[blazing depot]

does anyone got a toz 106 found in raid?

[atomic hawk]

Do u already have peacekeeper level 3? If so how tf u level them up

[bold kernel]

i have eod so it's easier for me but tasks and selling useless weapons parts/computer parts

[atomic hawk]

I gotcha

[bold kernel]

• i did kinda speedrun tasks a lot bc i played tarkov for a long time so already remember what to take and do faster than later etc

[analog seal]

Does EOD edition make life easier then ?

[atomic hawk]

It sounds like it does

[analog seal]

Is there an edition without the arena but with same size gamma case ?

[glacial sorrel]

what ammo should i use to kill pmcs for the quest set up ? 77mm buckshot isnt doing it. do i also need to mod it ?

[bold kernel]

Well i played with standard edition as well and I can say it's a bit easier bc of bigger pouch and 0.2 rep boost for traders but it's not that easier still you need to know tasks etc etc

[bold kernel]

I would wait for slug ammo like .50bmg or ap-20 buckshots are kinda meh rn especially after magnum nerf

also it's better to do set up with other quests no point in running and losing money for it

[glacial sorrel]

@bold kernel lead slug ?

[bold kernel]

https://www.eft-ammo.com/ammo-graph here you have ammo graph and u can check stats for every ammo but lead slugs are not penetrating class 2 so they are not that great

[sharp socket]

Do you have access to express buckshot? If you insist on a slug your best option is probably the poleva 6U or the superformance

[bold kernel]

yep sf is better than lead

[sharp socket]

Because.50bmg and AP-20 is probably out of reach

[bold kernel]

im still kinda mad for magnum nerf

[sharp socket]

How did it get nerfed?

[bold kernel]

+115 recoil so if you are using mp-153 fe after first shot you are aiming at sky

[analog seal]

£83 to upgrade for me to EOD , yikes.

[sharp socket]

Well flechette has been banished to the shadow realm so what piranha is probably best bet now?

[bold kernel]

yea i think so

[shy pivot]

Does anybody know if for the quest “Ambulances Again” I found the phone and put it in my stash inventory, if I go back extract through the car with the item in my hideout stash if it will complete the quest or do I need the phone on my PMC?

[spiral elk]

dose prapor wine quest need me to be there early, like, can other players take the bottle before me ? or dose it not matter i can go there late game ?

[limber tiger]

no they cant

[limber tiger]

you can go there anytime of the raid just remeber there is more than one spawn

[spiral elk]

so am good i can just wait and go there later in the raid ?

ty ty

[vapid beacon]

How to lose money fear and gear fear?

[limber tiger]

yes np gl with your raids ❤️

[shy pivot]

Yes it’s a static spawn and other people can’t grab it if you have the quest

[limber tiger]

learning how to consistantly make money in your raids and try to be more confident in your playstyle and gun play

[opal swan]

I am waiting on my scav to get off cooldown, does anyone want to help me with some customs tasks or should I just go into lfg/vc

[limber tiger]

i would sujest doing scav runs on interchange

[limber tiger]

you should go to lfg

[limber tiger]

just easyer

[warped sigil]

Spawn on GZ got blsdted by the mounted MF in 5secs... 😩...

[limber tiger]

?

[opal swan]

ok, at least I am done with gz

[spiral elk]

tbh i lost 250k trying to do this wine quest ... everytime i die because if a due, i kill one and the other just rushes me while reloading ... so annoying that ground zero is now filled with squads

[limber tiger]

what you need to do is try and stay within bushes and wait for the squads and then just kill them all at once

[hasty rapids]

Ya'll should squad up who need to do it. Exit via the flare route

[limber tiger]

thats works pretty consistantly

[spiral elk]

yeah but the times i died in i would be ambushed by dues in buildings or while moving. i dont start the fights

[hasty rapids]

10 player map, get a squad of 5 together and theres only 5 other pmc on the map at most

[limber tiger]

no just run it solo and get the tasks done 😎 :

[spiral elk]

can i do the quest as scav ?

[limber tiger]

no

[warped sigil]

Meant i got shot by that heavy mounted (gl?) 5seconds after spawn in ground zero.

[limber tiger]

only the scav specified quests given to you by fence

[limber tiger]

ik i just said ? because this is a assistance chat how am i sposed to help you if your already dead ?

[spiral elk]

i had more luck in raids killing other pmcs with this loadout not gonna lie

[limber tiger]

lmao tarkov be like

[limber tiger]

bring in one mill kit dies to a scav face shot

[spiral elk]

am ratting this quest out

[limber tiger]

brings in pistol wipes entire lobby

[spiral elk]

fr

[warped sigil]

Yea sorry wrong chat.😘

[hasty rapids]

The only stuff you can do as a scav that can progress quests is Fence daily tasks or extracting with found in raid items

[limber tiger]

i already said that

❤️

[spiral elk]

i need to find some items but scav queues are kinda supid long rn.. i hope they add a feature to see how long the queue might take

like other games

[limber tiger]

well

i mean the the is arena kinda is weird the way it works

the pvp is kinda fucked

i think your best bet is really just to aim for the head

[frosty musk]

It's because you went from armor ammo to flesh ammo

And you are trying to aim armor

Oh you did say that

[edgy plover]

What is my problem here?

[frosty musk]

Probably just aren't used to it

[limber tiger]

the durabilty

[sterile coral]

I'm not used to it but damn, it just feels like getting 300k with this will be horrendous

[frosty musk]

I think every plate in it has to be under half

[sterile coral]

I'm seeing people with Altyns and Ulachs I do not think that'll work either lmfao

[edgy plover]

One is above 50% and the other is below 50%

[edgy plover]

Dude no way

[frosty musk]

I could be wrong

[edgy plover]

Even the neck plate?

[frosty musk]

idk

[edgy plover]

I would be so mad

[limber tiger]

he is right

[limber tiger]

get your friend with a pistol to shoot it on facotry

thats your best bet

[frosty musk]

You're talking to a sherpa lol

[edgy plover]

I'll test it out

can't find anything online

[frosty musk]

muhawi might have an idea

He'll respond soon because I said his name

[edgy plover]

wiki wiki wiki

[mental schooner]

what the hell just happened? i went dorms with a friend and a scav ran out and 1 head eyes my friend behind me and the next bullet went into my head jaw, we werent even in line with eachother or anything just got aimbotted by a scav?

[fluid python]

i need help doing tasks on interchange https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/724759025073520720

[frosty musk]

I hate in arena when you get a matcha and everyone accepts

Yet someone leaves and then you spend ages waiting for players

And it just cancels

[mental schooner]

nvm searched the scavs name and its some bosses guard... how is that balanced if he just has aimbot?

[frosty musk]

You have to be more careful

Anyways really just unlucky

[mental schooner]

like he shot 2 bullets after running out first one killed my friend behind me and next one went into my head like what

if thats a guard how strong is the boss?

[violet veldt]

courtyard on street. does it open during the game ? or if it's not open at the start it just wont open at all? 🙂

[muted folio]

anyone know how to do the first tasks, idk the map so not sure how to go abt it

[hasty rapids]

it will be open from the start

or not

[bold kernel]

tarkov wiki is your best friend remember

[violet veldt]

all right! thanks my friend 😄

[hasty rapids]

you will see green smoke inside the courtyard. You can see it from the theater area if u look down the allyway

[unborn pine]

my game froze after I was KIA, and I didnt get the after action screen to heal my PMC. Is there anyway to do this after the fact?

[bold kernel]

nope you have to use meds from stash

[unborn pine]

okay thanks

[spiral elk]

anyone know a good map to find slewa ? i like reserve but scavs queue is too long

[wheat tree]

ayy les get it

[rugged badge]

letsgo!

[woeful spruce]

Woods,
: convoy, usec camp and FOB

[hasty rapids]

Streets is good for seluwas. Dentist office and the new medical clinic near the factory

[tender gazelle]

do presets in arena give exp towards the classes?

[forest skiff]

should I sell my tetris=

?

holly shet I just got a bitcoing and tetris

and didnt care too much about bitcoin cause I remembered they nerfed it

[fervent bane]

whats the best place to find squash and ice green, I need it for a barter

[hasty rapids]

I keep it on auto and just tap

BUT if youre very new to tarkov, it may be a good idea to stick with semiautos to get a feel for aiming and tapping instead of relying on spraying

[versed valley]

goshan on interchange

or food crates on any map

[hasty rapids]

You probably dont need to get that key. Hit the office near the end of a raid and it will almost certainly be open

[fast cipher]

anyone know best way to do the mission "set up" wear scav wvest and ushanka and a MP shotty? (im not the best at PVP)

[hasty rapids]

get some magnum buck or piranna

then probably camp dorms hallways

[vocal zenith]

how should i go about doing setup

[digital sable]

Use Shotgun

[hasty rapids]

I would camp 2 story room 206 and hit the noobs as they come back out

at least let them get the quest done

[digital sable]

No mercy

[vocal zenith]

ok thank u

[hasty rapids]

to make that clear, you dont sit in 206. Let them go in 206

[digital sable]

2nd floor elbow behind the pillar is always a nice camping spot

[versed valley]

no , camp the room

tbh sitting in the room across or in a room at the end of the corridor and murdering them as they open the room would be the most efficient

[digital sable]

I wouldn’t do Setup by camping dorms tho. I’d do other Custom’s tasks or Dorms keys runs while using Shotguns.

Just existing on Customs will lead to plenty of PvP

and it’s more fun

[versed valley]

its generally the most efficient to combine quests

especially the more "passive" ones like killing pmc's

[digital sable]

The only annoyance is the overpriced Ushanka hat

I just find I do PMC kill tasks better when I don’t go into a raid with my sole goal to get kills

[tulip kettle]

comtac 4s are literally cheating

[versed valley]

yep, just doing other tasks and going for pvp when there is oportunity is my way to go, because when you dont find pvp you get other quests done and when you do you get the pvp quests done

[tulip kettle]

i can hear everything with this

[versed valley]

yea, their flea price reflects that

[digital sable]

you’re not alone

[versed valley]

dont expect to be good or even decant at a game like tarkov the first time, everyone sucks when they start out

some like aqua suck even after thousands of hours

depending on the ammo you use, aiming for chest might be preferable

[digital sable]

I’m still ass at Tarkov but now I just fling myself into conflict with reckless abandon and win sometimes

Check the ballistics chart and generally assume anything that doesn’t reliable pen class 3 or 4 armor is going to be worthless shooting anything but faces or legs

You’ll find if spray enough bullets in someone’s direction one of them is bound to hit their face

[lethal python]

rbgn good?

[daring stag]

are twitch drops over?

[honest bloom]

if i throw my insured loot into water do I get it back?

[hasty rapids]

twitch drops going till 7th. But its only selected streamers per 12 hr shift

AirWingMarine has drops on until 6pm ET i think

[rigid kite]

Guys, i'm lvl 6 and full of shit. I dont know what to sell because everything is usefull at some point (trade in sellers, or hideout upgrade). I dont have enought money to buy a box, so i need to sell.
Is there a priority list or a resource somewhere to help me ?

[hasty rapids]

get some rigs to make more space

You need this chart... https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/images/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png/revision/latest?cb=20231224233129

[orchid dagger]

At what flea market rep can I sell 3 things at once?

[hasty rapids]

then look up the level 1 hideout upgrades

like 30

[cosmic yarrow]

can someone explain me why the queue for scav is like 15 minutes on every map ???

since wipe, is there a bug some sort?

[hasty rapids]

Oh looks like it might be 10 rep to get 3rd slot

[rigid kite]

rigs = bags ?

[hasty rapids]

No, like chest rigs

Theyll store more than the spacve they take up generally

[digital sable]

Only useful if you have a bunch of 1 or 2 slot items you intended to hold for a long time

[hasty rapids]

ie a 3x3 rig can store 16-20 items depending on the model

you NEED to get to 1.1 mil and get a junk box

[digital sable]

I often keep a food and quest item rig early on

[hasty rapids]

then probably 2 more

[storm coral]

Pretty sure it's just because everyone is trying to play scav so it's harder to fit scavs into raids

[hasty rapids]

sell the guns except the mp133 since u need for quest

trade in the knives to PK for guns

[digital sable]

Sell MP-133 and rebuy from Jaegar

depending how low on space

[hasty rapids]

Focus on junk box and doing hideout upgrades BUT keep some select found in raid items

[fathom ocean]

how much a bitcoin worth rn

[jagged laurel]

565

Give or take

[rigid kite]

This will take me so much time to see what i need or not 😄 thx a lot !

[gaunt rover]

It is because New Years, Drops and the Wipe next week it will be better

[fathom ocean]

ouuu wee just found one in crackhouse

[tender cobalt]

i got an item called grizzly 40 how much is it worth?

[hasty rapids]

the medical kit grizzley?

theyre like 55k on the flea i think

[tender cobalt]

no it is ammo

[storm coral]

The grizzly 40 is a slug, it's not the greatest since it only really pens class 1 armor

[hasty rapids]

oh, no idea. probably not worth keeping

[gaunt rover]

70 per bullet

[storm coral]

It WILL atomize someone's legs though

[tender cobalt]

i did also get another ammp pack called 12/70 ap-20

[gaunt rover]

I like to use that on Scav headshot quests

[storm coral]

AP-20 is hands down the best slug in the ame

[tender cobalt]

it is ammo pack for 25

[storm coral]

It'll punch through any early game armor and immediately one tap to the thorax

AP-20 is bruuutttallll

[tender cobalt]

then is it worth alot?

[fathom ocean]

yeah

best shotgun ammo

[tender cobalt]

how much is it worth then

[fathom ocean]

like 25k

[tender cobalt]

for that one pack

wow

[fathom ocean]

yeah

[opaque glen]

i dont know if its just me but is there any advice on how to spot people more anyone can recommend there postfx/ graphics. my pc can handle tarkov no issue what so ever

[analog seal]

Should I store PMC dogtags ?

[graceful flume]

can you craft light bulbs?

[hasty rapids]

yes, get a dog tag case if u can afford it otherwise use junk box

[hasty rapids]

no, purchase or find in raid

[shadow sundial]

hey my friend is new and i was trying to help him get his gym going for his hideout and he has already had his water collector and medstation level 1 for 2 days now and his defective wall never showed up, is there something i missed?

[analog seal]

Ok cheers

[rigid grotto]

my survival rate at the start of the wipe was decent, but recently ive just been dying over and over to people sitting in dark corners. Any tips on how to get back up rn

[dire turret]

so i got into the scientist room in terragroup hq but there is no hdd? im the first person into the room so far and it just aint here

[hasty rapids]

Dont be an unarmored, slow moving target. If youre creeping around u still make plenty of noise

[dire turret]

i did get it on a raid before but i died with it so im not sure if thats anything to do with it

[rigid grotto]

i go full kits most raids, and dont normally just creep around so idk

[dire turret]

nevermind im stupid it was on the bit under the pc 😭

[wary terrace]

Better than me, I got in the room, killed a PMC inside, healed and then left -- didn't know I needed the hard drive until I went to hand in the quest lol

[hasty rapids]

i didnt even know i needed a key. I walked on the dead scientist without seeing him, quest updated and i went to find the office but of course i couldnt get in a locked door

[indigo kayak]

any tips for finding good loot? Such as CPU’s. Bitcoin and all that stuff. Everytime I check a valuable spawn there’s nothing there. In like over 300h of playing I’ve never even seen a gpu

[unique plover]

check more spawns

theyre rare

[crystal wadi]

Any advice for prapor money? What to buy/sell?

[hasty rapids]

just hit lots of computers. Plan a route on a map and stick with it

[hasty rapids]

Insure with him and repair with him

then just sell him stuff that isnt terribly lower than mechanics prices

[dreamy imp]

I usually spend enough for him just with insurance most wipes

[hasty rapids]

jaeger is melee weapons, some optics, and canned milk

[crystal wadi]

Thanks, I've not enough money spent because lately i'm using therapist to have it stashed longer

[analog seal]

Is it worth sneaking about or just go for it ?

[hasty rapids]

Usually just go for it but sneaking has its moments

[unborn pine]

whats going on with insurance? I've had 15ish MIAs where I insured, and so far only 1 came back with like 3 pieces of gear

for reference, I still havent gotten anything from night of 30th

[hasty rapids]

You went MIA?

[unborn pine]

KIA sorry

[dreamy imp]

early wipe, alot of stuff gets taken by player scavs or players.... later on people dont care for alot of it so you get more back

[hasty rapids]

Someone was saying GZ map was having insurance issues

[unborn pine]

I dont receive any messages saying anything

yeah, Ive done all GZ runs insured too

[hasty rapids]

i dont recall a single insurance coming back from GZ

[unborn pine]

so I should just start saving my cash and running no insurance then?

[hasty rapids]

Only for running ground zero i guess

[dreamy imp]

up to you, money is fairly easy to make and you need to spend money with traders to lvl their rep so insurance helps that

[analog seal]

👍🏻

[bold kernel]

how are my stats?

[loud hornet]

any low levels wanna team up ? i gotta do starting quests still

[signal rapids]

not bad if you play solo

[bold kernel]

ye imi solo

[signal rapids]

12 shots to kill is a lot but otherwise solid

[harsh sun]

Any codes for tarkov?

[bold kernel]

ye bcs i use smg annd i usualy just e peak them xd

[left thunder]

wanna team up?

[sterile coral]

Any way to see arena class prices even for locked ones?

[hallow flint]

what map has naturally occurring 80 meter fights

[cobalt burrow]

Woods?

[hallow flint]

always 70m

[bold kernel]

how can i get my ergo up 4 for gunsmith

[hallow flint]

eyecup

[digital fulcrum]

Eye cup @bold kernel

[rigid grotto]

best sights for level 2 traders?

[solemn raptor]

do you have flea?

[hasty edge]

anyone who knows streets want to run me thru some quests

[fading sedge]

prob better to just use it though

you can make more than 25k by killing a pmc with 3 ap.20 slugs

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rigid grotto]

yes

[solemn raptor]

so the question is then, what's the best sight for flea/lvl 2 traders. In which case, you can buy basically anything. Test them all, see which one you like the most. There's no one correct answer, it's personal preference.

[lilac nest]

does anyone know any possible fixes to the game capping at 30 fps on my pc?

have tried alot of things but its just sitting on 30 still

[tidal lagoon]

deltapoint is nice and cheap, normally would say the holosights but they are kinda expensive this wipe

[queen ore]

can anyone link or send me a photo in a dm of a Tac-30 RFB build pls and ty

[drowsy oak]

Hi guys can someone help me to understand how to complete sew it good with my friend the durability doesn't change much with a full mag even multiple mags ?

[buoyant salmon]

Anyone else got problem with Gzhel 0-50% durability quest? i got 60/154 and cant finish it ;/

[buoyant salmon]

take ammo without pen like 9x18

[icy terrace]

what is modding?? what

just opens the loot?

[buoyant salmon]

When you press modding you can take off the plates from this chest

[marble pebble]

anyone want to do Introduction on woods with me? havent played in a while so im rusty

[buoyant salmon]

Some armors got extra slots for plates 😉

[fervent dirge]

Stressed out Danish player, played quite a bit 3 wipes ago with a duo, got solo anxiety now though. Got a good grasp on fundamentals but my main issue is just getting myself to play, despite the fact that I want to. If anyone is a beginner/returner that wants to learn/relearn the game, feel free to DM me (English or Danish)

[left prism]

can somebody help me, i insured a lot of stuff with prapor and i had a message saying they're looking for it but that's the last I've heard its been over 48 hours and i haven't had a message saying they couldn't find it or anything? its like 5/6 different loadouts

[loud hornet]

anyone wanna duo ground zero get the quests done? message me

[woeful spruce]

Baisically this allows you to walk up to an armor and interact with it to pick up plates from it if it has interchangable ones without picking the armor up (this one only has built in non-interchangable ones)

[hushed wigeon]

could i post some screenshots from my stash for advice on what to keep and what to sell

[icy terrace]

thank u

[loud hornet]

any low levels wanna duo gotta do starting quests still

[woeful spruce]

Sure

[hushed wigeon]

anything in here that can be sold to traders

bought another junk box but i want to make sure im not wasting space

also if anything here that i can get rid of

[paper wing]

Ive got the same problem. not a single item has come back or a message that he wasnt able to find it. Nothing in over 48 hrs. Someone said its just taking longer but Im not convinced there isnt an issue

[hushed wigeon]

dont really have anything on my pmc right now so i could probably clear up some space in stash

[late fiber]

guys how do i get the packet of noodles for jaeger any good location to find them?

[icy terrace]

u can get rid of the barrels

[spiral elk]

i cant i CANT I AHAAHAHAHAHA why is everyone squading .... how do i kill a fucking CHAD with the best gear i have ever seen to just be killed my his mate rushing me.. i need help fucking hell am stuck at level 10

[icy terrace]

and the wood part of the guns honestly

[woeful spruce]

Sas disks, book, multiples of streamer items (purples like firesteel and such) repellent is pretty useless

[hushed wigeon]

so like this kinda stuff

[icy terrace]

yes

[hushed wigeon]

would it be better to wait till level 15 or should i just sell to traders

[nimble jungle]

where can i find instant noodles, i have done over 90 raid and found 3 gpu's 2 LEDX but cant seem to find a single noodle pack. Any tips?

[hushed wigeon]

im fine either way

[late fiber]

bro im literally asking the same thing

[nimble jungle]

yeah

[late fiber]

theyre impossible to find i swear

[woeful spruce]

You can get rid of anything theres no obligation to keep any of this gear but i would sell the stm upper first

[hushed wigeon]

alrighty

[nimble jungle]

ive heard many places which ppl have found and i try - nothing

[late fiber]

i always go to military camp in woods

[hushed wigeon]

im mainly keeping certain things for my hideout, and other things because ive HEARD they're worth something

[agile crow]

where is shorelines car extract? is there a new map for it?

[hushed wigeon]

should i sell all of these also

or some worth keeping

also if any of these keys are useless

[woeful spruce]

Theres some youtube walktrough idk if the wiki has a map, it baisically in the northeast corner in an expansion area north of road to customs exit

It also has a red rebel exit now

[fresh zodiac]

how do you transfer weapons to weapon rack?

[woeful spruce]

Keep shift, its important for gunsmith if the didnt mess with it and the saker asr, the rest i would sell to traders

[hushed wigeon]

alrighty

[hard cairn]

Yo my free look is ridiculously slow, like the only way I can look around quidly is if I ADS otherwise it's likle I have to move my mouse halfway across the desk to turn around. wtf?

[woeful spruce]

Go into settings and play around with mouse sensitivity, maybe it got changed for you

[hard cairn]

Lmao yep, idk how but thank you

[hushed wigeon]

im sure this comes from experience but i need some help identifying backpacks before i go into a scav run

could yall tell me which one this is?

[woeful spruce]

Army bag

Pretty shit

[hushed wigeon]

aw the 2x4

are there any bags that spawn in reserve

[woeful spruce]

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

[hushed wigeon]

or is that not usually the case

[woeful spruce]

There usually is plenty of dead raiders or players with nice backpacks ob reserve. Go down to the bunker below the heli and youll find some

[hushed wigeon]

below the heli

uhhh

[sand heath]

does anyone know where new building on streets is?

[hushed wigeon]

@woeful spruce can any item cases spawn during a raid

and how would you transport them

could you just put them in a backpack

oh so its that welcome to hell building

does this mean i was killed by a player scav or

[spiral bloom]

looks like a regular, non EOD PMC

[hushed wigeon]

oh

bro was surrounded by what i thought were scavs

[quasi hawk]

Isn't that one of the guards?

[spiral bloom]

ahhh yea guards

[hushed wigeon]

it was a group of people

[fading sedge]

just lost this kit cuz I lost connection lol

im gonna kms

[hushed wigeon]

ye got confused because they werent shooting

ah well you learn from every mistake

got excited by a day pack from a dead player LOL

[hallow flint]

youll get another one from another pmc

[hushed wigeon]

like idk how but my friend can distinguish backpacks based on this

[hallow flint]

raider

[hushed wigeon]

???

i swear there needs to be a forward facing backpack guide or something

strap guide

probably too niche

[hushed wigeon]

if i shoot one will they all aggro

[frosty musk]

it's something you pick up quickly

[fading sedge]

NVM

[bold kernel]

man I am so unbelievably bad at this game, lol. It's very hard to not kill other scavs too, they look like players

[wicked jetty]

anything bad happen if you kill santa

[fading sedge]

I SOMEHOW DIDNT DIE LOLI RECONNECTED TO THE RAID

[hushed wigeon]

dope

[hallow flint]

yes

[fading sedge]

I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OFTHE STREET ON GROUND ZERO LMFAO

[wicked jetty]

or do i go up to him

[hallow flint]

u lose fence rep if u kill santa

[hushed wigeon]

im assuming they arent all immediately aggressive because only one was shooting at me

[wicked jetty]

how does he work i forget you just walk up to him?

[hallow flint]

if u get close they'll shoot you unless youre 6 fence rep

[hushed wigeon]

wonder how far i could get with the naked kit

[hallow flint]

yes then he drops an item

[hushed wigeon]

ah right

[hallow flint]

bring a helmet and armor so ur not tagged and cursed

[hushed wigeon]

that status effect got mentioned before

so it just makes scavs actively seek you out?

[hallow flint]

all the scavs just run at u if u dont bring enough in

[hushed wigeon]

hmm

[bold kernel]

should I reset my account if I killed several scavs? I'm on EoD and I heard something about rep. I can't figure out the difference between scavs and players....and all the times I try to ignore players I get killed so I default to fighting everyone

[hushed wigeon]

scav gaming

[primal flower]

if a door wont breach after one try, should i leave it?

[hushed wigeon]

anything here i can get rid of

[bold kernel]

yeah I don't want to lose my gear as I don't know anything yet

i'd be donating it all

[hushed wigeon]

as a pmc i dont believe your scav rep gets affected

[near kettle]

Yes

[willow charm]

Never played before but can’t load in as a scav on any map ?? Matching

[bold kernel]

using scav and offline on pmc to learn

[near kettle]

What is your standing with fence

[hushed wigeon]

smh maybe i actually try to do a little rat run on factory or something

[silver geyser]

hey

where we report players with clips ?

[hallow flint]

gulp

[bold kernel]

let me go look, not sure @near kettle one sec

[hushed wigeon]

check marks

we love quests that i cant complete due to my lack of skill

[bold kernel]

I am 0.15 with fence, 0.20 with all others @near kettle

[hushed wigeon]

ok

[random viper]

you'd also subject yourself to "oh I wish I had this I would have won that fight" or "I wish I had more space to keep these items" its a common thing to have gear fear but using the loot you EARNED through your efforts is enjoyable even if it last a few raids or non you'll always get the same if not a better kit later on down the road from my experiences anyways

[near kettle]

That is like no drop at all

[bold kernel]

ok

[near kettle]

Take a couple different car extracts as pmc it's gonna skyrocket

[hushed wigeon]

i pretty much lost my gear fear after dying 5x within a few seconds of joining a factory raid

realized my dumbass has no spacial awareness so im better off not caring because my likelihood of dying is so high

just vibe

[bold kernel]

yeah maybe i load in with bare minimum on pmc and just try to extract with very minimal stuff...im still trying to learn all of the points though for extracting

[primal flower]

bruh pmc was walking on the spot and not moving or looking at me then i fucking got shot and died

[bold kernel]

i have maybe 10 hours played so far

[random viper]

success doesn't lead to enjoyment, enjoyment leads to success slap a kit on and have a go, beam some players or get beamed its fun either way

[hushed wigeon]

ye

[bold kernel]

I suspect though that this will end up being another path of exile, over 2k hours lol

[near kettle]

Don't forget tagged and cursed mechanic, if you don't have enough value on you scavs will chase you down

Better just take things slow

[hushed wigeon]

feels like that could be a positive in certain cases

[near kettle]

Stick to the sidelines

[hushed wigeon]

spawn with jack shit, kill a scav that runs at you and take theirs

[vapid sentinel]

anyone have workbench T2+ (reply to me so i can find msg plz)

[bold kernel]

yep, i took woods and stuck to the sniper / mine outline, leveraging mapgenie

worked ok

[random viper]

pistol runs are fun gets you out of the gear fear as well learned that a long time ago and its fun 🙂

[unreal marsh]

what to sell?

[hushed wigeon]

anyone able to tell what backpack if any that this scav has on

[random viper]

s diary, diary, firesteel, keep the rest

if you have level 1 infermary in the hideout sell the vitamins at the top

[near kettle]

Bro go to therapist turn in your gasan

[vapid sentinel]

you only need 5 of the cigerattes of each type any past that isnt needed

[manic escarp]

how long does it take for the btr to deliver to your stash

[random viper]

skull badge roller and the vase can be barter items but depending on your level you'll probably benifit by selling them, and you need 5 of each cigarrets yes

[hushed wigeon]

same question

[rigid grotto]

mgt

small diary

book

fireklean

not too sure about the rest

[vapid sentinel]

mili cable pretty sure is just a barter for couch bag

[near kettle]

One bulbex probably could go?

[random viper]

if you want to get the money to get a higher rep with peacekepper sell the sas drives diaries etc keep the intel you'll need it for later and the rest is useful get rid of soap and a few other common items really

[vapid sentinel]

a/d batteries

[near kettle]

Ay yo soap you need for lavatory 1

[bold kernel]

what should i take on my pmc in gamma? grizzly/cms, alu sprint? I want to save some room for taking valuables in there

[ancient wagon]

Funny thing is i dont have gear fear at all. more than half the time i dont insure 💀

i dont care enough

[bold kernel]

im gonna try a pistol run

[hushed wigeon]

also

[near kettle]

What the fuck

[vapid sentinel]

if you have flea chck the xenos

[near kettle]

Also what the fuck

[hushed wigeon]

nah, dont atm trying to level up

[ancient wagon]

yeah lol, i dont really care about my loot. I Dont insure most of the time either, i just kinda play for fun

[hushed wigeon]

about those two, found them back to back on 2 wood raids

[ancient wagon]

look how many tags i have

[near kettle]

HUUUUUH

[hushed wigeon]

LOL

[near kettle]

Well i was finding my gpus there too

[ancient wagon]

what? Whats so funny? is the amount of tags i have small?

[hushed wigeon]

no the pom pom

[ancient wagon]

oh

[near kettle]

The pompompompompompompompom

[ancient wagon]

[hushed wigeon]

nah its ok 😭

[dapper garnet]

why is the fucking sks mount always out of stock

[ancient wagon]

call me mr beast the way im about to give out pom pons

[near kettle]

Gunsmith 4(?) and SKS in general

[dapper garnet]

why is there a limited supply

[ancient wagon]

whats the best place to scav for money

[dapper garnet]

battlestate more like poostate

[hushed wigeon]

whats a good shotgun to get from the traders

want to try a funny rat run

[ancient wagon]

ong

[near kettle]

Double barrel

Also known as MP-43-1C

Double tap fire mode

[daring stag]

anyone know when the xmas tree goes away?

[hushed wigeon]

aw hell no man

[hallow flint]

russian xmas is jan 7th so prob after that

[near kettle]

Get one from fence

[hushed wigeon]

dam

??

whats with the difference

[random viper]

the mole quest is alright can get car extract so its a two for one deal

[near kettle]

Durability

[hushed wigeon]

44 vs 67

i dont care imma die anyway 🔥

so does fence sell other peoples stuff or

[abstract vine]

is 10 mins normal queue for a level 1 on ground zero?

nvm literally as i typed this i spawn in

[near kettle]

Watch it jam on the first shot

I think he sells scav shit

If someone got tarkoved and his gun stolen by AI scav it can go on fence (my hypothesis)

Mid wipe you can snipe some cool builds for like 100k+

[hushed wigeon]

ai scavs can loot?

[near kettle]

They can pick up equipment from bodies if i recall correctly

[hard cairn]

yea pretty sure they will pick up shit from dead people

[signal rapids]

they take guns off bodies thats all

[hushed wigeon]

backpack

[hard cairn]

not everything, just like some random item

[hushed wigeon]

?

[hallow flint]

vkbo

[hushed wigeon]

aw man

heeeelp

[fading sedge]

that one was easy tho

you can see it on the bottom right haha

[hushed wigeon]

damn

ill learn

[fading sedge]

it's a very distinct backpack there arent a lot that look like it

[hushed wigeon]

so do raiders usually spawn in the reserve bunker?

[fading sedge]

(its also a really shit backpack tbh)

[hushed wigeon]

that heli "welcome to hell" thingy

[near kettle]

GK06 on that shotgun tho kinda nice try to keep

[hushed wigeon]

yep

[fading sedge]

yeah

careful though it's a pvp hotzone

[near kettle]

With the cylinder 12ga adapter

[hushed wigeon]

yeah

is it possible to get one of those storage things from raids

like a medicine case, ammo case

[fading sedge]

yep

[hushed wigeon]

can you carry in backpack or

[fading sedge]

marked rooms usually have them

[fading sedge]

mhm

[hushed wigeon]

marked rooms

[fading sedge]

ah right

[near kettle]

Ammo case for sure, pistols i think as well

[hushed wigeon]

are those rooms that need keys

[fading sedge]

cultist rooms, need a special key for em

[hushed wigeon]

oh

[fading sedge]

weapon case can be found as well

[near kettle]

Ye

[fading sedge]

other than that I'm not aware of any other case spawns

[hushed wigeon]

as pmc i can put keys in pouch and can be used?

[fading sedge]

there's probably a lot on streets

[fading sedge]

yes

do you have the flea market?

[hushed wigeon]

not yet trying to level

[fading sedge]

gotcha

[hushed wigeon]

kidding im ratting

[fading sedge]

once you have it or once you find it on a scav

theres a key ring you can use

[hushed wigeon]

oh

[fading sedge]

can store 4 keys

[hushed wigeon]

is there a possible case spawn in reserve?

[fading sedge]

later you can also buy the docs case whcih can carry all kinds of shit but keys mainly

[hushed wigeon]

theres some 5x5 box that can spawn it right

[fading sedge]

I don't know off the top of my head

[near kettle]

Docs case either in marked rooms or certain spawn points on customs

[random viper]

docs cases spawn in marked room in 3 story dorms, the barter for the docs is a cat, lion statue and 4 horse statues at therapist level 2, these items can be aquired through various spawns but the safest bet is to loot safes (no pun intended)

[whole thistle]

maybe key rings in marked room, barely any cases spawn in raid anymore

[random viper]

the gingy keychain a streamer item that lets you hold onto 4 keys at a time and is good for early wipe

[indigo kayak]

I’ve done hundreds and hundreds of raids never ever seen one

[unique plover]

looking in the wrong spots then

[outer sage]

yo i just started and ive gotten shit on twice in a row, anyone willing to play w me and teach me some stuff?

[random viper]

#pvp-lfg is the best place to find people to play with

[outer sage]

alright

[indigo kayak]

I’m not

I literally have map genie to make sure

[viral prawn]

Play More Labs

[indigo kayak]

No labs card

[viral prawn]

I found 27 GPU's in 3 days last wipe

[indigo kayak]

Bruh

[viral prawn]

Mind you that was across 78 labs runs

[indigo kayak]

I’ve never actually done labs

[viral prawn]

But i wanted to make sure that red card paid itself off

[indigo kayak]

Properly

[viral prawn]

"Red card cant pay itself off" fuck you, it's 470k per hit

not you specifically, red card doubters

[indigo kayak]

[spiral elk]

whats going on ?

[random viper]

interchange computer room is a good farm for gpus, and other places on various maps, mainly interchange for gpus

[viral prawn]

And that's not even factoring in the well over 200, 338 Lapua AP rounds i got from red labs

[indigo kayak]

Earlier I managed to survive like 20 or more raids in a row

[viral prawn]

When those were sellable, they were 70k a shot

[random viper]

no way 70k a shot xD

[viral prawn]

Yeah, Lapua AP is stupid ammo

[indigo kayak]

What’s lapua

[viral prawn]

1 taps through a slicc

[random viper]

IK its broken

mjoulneir is however the spelling is is fun to use but a mad grind to get

lap ammo is best for long range kill quests

[indigo kayak]

I’m sad my pc is in the shop since 4pm today and I won’t get it back until tommorow or the day after :(

[random viper]

seen the chart with the new recoil I feel good and bad ammo is alright to use intermitently this wipe so far

[indigo kayak]

If I have a armour that has like a armour plate on the front with tier 6. Then another plate on front that is part of the armlur which is tier 2. Is that tier 8 armour?

[random viper]

can see 5mm round going meta

[indigo kayak]

It travels kinda slow

[viral prawn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGJck0jtyns&t=5s

[random viper]

no seperate from one another

[indigo kayak]

Pistol gameplay ez

[indigo kayak]

So what’s the point of the tiger 2 thing?

Tier*

[random viper]

just another layer of protection really

[indigo kayak]

So less dmg?

[random viper]

pretty much but for lower teir rounds mainly

[viral prawn]

want the TL;DR?

[indigo kayak]

But won’t the tier 6 just block that

[viral prawn]

Soft Plates Reduce damage like armor classicly did, Some gets through, some doesn't wether or not a pen roll goes

A Hard Plate, if a pen roll fails, does ZERO damage to your PMC

so if it has BOTH, it rolls for PEN on hard plate, let's say it goes through, it applies 25% damage reduction, plus pen reduction

then THAT is applied to the T2 Layer underneath, as a SOFT layer

where with it's now REDUCED pen amount/damage it is rolled against the T2

[spiral elk]

is there a server problem or is this just a bug ?

[viral prawn]

past 4 minutes it's a bug and you need to close/reopen tarkov

[indigo kayak]

Scav?

[viral prawn]

sometimes you get stuck at awaiting session start cause somebody crashed but got in before lobby started

[spiral elk]

yes scav

[viral prawn]

restart

[indigo kayak]

Maybe that’s why

[random viper]

it works on an area basis on the armour

[indigo kayak]

Nerd

[viral prawn]

Factory Supremacy Kit

Kedr, Kora Kulon + Shattered Mask

[random viper]

rpd, slick and face shield altyn is the supremacy kit xD

[viral prawn]

you mean THOR + Rys-T, PKP loaded with SNB

[indigo kayak]

Where’s a place to find rashala

[random viper]

customs

[viral prawn]

Exclusively cutoms, Dorms, New Gas and Fortress if he's spawned, weighted at dorms highest (55%), fortress 20% new gas 25%

[indigo kayak]

At new gas?

[random viper]

yes

[indigo kayak]

How often do bosses spawn

[random viper]

he can spawn near scav checkpoint on the sniper tower also

[viral prawn]

RN 5%, but normally 20-35%

[indigo kayak]

Why only 5%?

[random viper]

balance

[viral prawn]

So people don't farm bosses for loot early wipe

[indigo kayak]

True

[viral prawn]

no keycard farming/key farming/high pen ammo farming

[random viper]

mag farming

[viral prawn]

Armor and mags off gaurds

[indigo kayak]

I’ve been finding loads of ammo recently

[random viper]

I farm killa for my cones quest xD

[viral prawn]

Like if i kill reshala and the boys, you can get well over 400+ rounds of whatever they are using

so if that's all 5.45 BT and 5.56 885a1

Typically they'll have 2-3 backup mags each, and 1 in gun, so around 90-120 bullets per raider + reshala

And generally two of them will be running hot dogwater, and aiming for legs/arms

[random viper]

and the armour they can have is quite good tbf

at times

[spiral elk]

restarted but am back here because i have to reconnect

[viral prawn]

Reshala's goons cap at T5 at Ghezel, but mostly t4

However blackrocks

[random viper]

early game its decent

most of the time pvpve comes down to how you play the scenario

[charred wave]

Why can i not unlock fishing gear, i completed friend from the west part 1

[random viper]

what lvl are you?

[charred wave]

idk like 14

thought it wasent lvl locked

[warped atlas]

anyone got tarcons key

[random viper]

you need to do friends from the west part 2 to get fishing gear

[raw oyster]

I need some help im closing into level 14 rn as my first wipe, cant find any noodles. i tried goshen over 10 times now

[viral prawn]

I lost 9 million roubles today 😦

[hallow flint]

yo did they getr rid of ricochet chance on helmets? its not on the info tab anymore

[random viper]

died with a 3 ledx today fuming

[random viper]

still there just check the plating in the armour

[hallow flint]

ahhh

[mystic sun]

Guys is rtx 2070 good running tarkov at 1440p?

[random viper]

probably does it have dlss?

[charred wave]

gpu dosent matter at all in tarkv

[random viper]

trust it makes a massive difference if it has dlss

[mystic sun]

Yes it’s got dlss

[wild ivy]

which of this ammo should i sell and which should i keep?

[random viper]

it'll be alright just make sure your other specs on your pc are good so you don't bottleneck your system

[random viper]

check the ammo chart on the wiki

[daring stag]

they didnt get all the cheaters

[mystic sun]

That’s good to hear

[charred wave]

it is more dependant on cpu and ram

[random viper]

dlss reduces cpu load by a hell of a large amount makes the game run smoother

[mystic sun]

I have ryzen 9 and 32gb ram

[random viper]

you'll be alright just get the gpu and you'll be sorted

[mystic sun]

👍 thanks

And also I need to stop dying and get a single task finished 😄

[oak thicket]

guys help, how do i cancel keybind? like put it to not set

[restive ivy]

set it to right click, which will unbind fire, then bind fire to right click, which will unbind the old keybind

works with anything, i just said fire for quick info

[oak thicket]

thx so much

[restive ivy]

no worries bud

[abstract vine]

is group killing on spawn in a regular thing?

joined 2 random groups when queueing up, and on spawn ine a group member kills me within 3 seconds. done using that feature for now I guess.

[lethal verge]

Yes, Sadly happens alot when not in discord

[abstract vine]

that's wild.

[hasty rapids]

yeah dont join random groups

[wicked jetty]

can you topload sv98

[vapid sentinel]

if you cant buy it probably needs to be kept, link search it if your unsure

[swift jackal]

Are scav raids down? Ive queued up for 3 different raids and my timers are 25mins+, i havent gotten into a single one yet

[whole thistle]

i dont think you can

[swift jackal]

I cant believe I spent nearly an hour and 30 mins doing nothing, just waiting. How is this a video game?

[mellow matrix]

I admire ur patience. If my scav doesent find a game in 10min i jist say fuck it and play a pmc raid.

[whole thistle]

solo scav queues are insane early wipe, just dont scav unless youre in a group

[swift jackal]

it goes faster if youre ina group?

[whole thistle]

its really fast for me when im in a group

[regal sparrow]

best place to find GAS ANS?

[near ore]

#935947208073814106looking for knowledgeable teammates on ground zero to help me do my quest, im an experinced player but have not run the map yet, already have a few kits rdy to go!!!

[hasty rapids]

FIling cabinets and gym bags. Basically Streets map

theres a block in the NW side of streets that has a school full of gym bags and several buildings of tons of filing cabinets

[bold kernel]

are there noob friendly groups here? I'm talking like I've yet to exfil yet without being annihilated lol

[vernal grove]

how long does it usually take for game profile to be reset

[wicked jetty]

why are you resetting??

[vernal grove]

bc i havent completed literally any quest (i know how ive been gettin shi on) and im outta guns so

thought id reset

[wicked jetty]

you can, ruins the fun and learning experience

[finite raven]

can guns jam?

[wicked jetty]

yeah

[hasty rapids]

Yes

[finite raven]

ah ok. I died cuz my shotgun stopped firing close range

[hasty rapids]

everyone does some different binding for clearing a malfunction where you just hit 1 key

[unborn pine]

exclusively using pistols, viability of this? lmao

[hasty rapids]

its like check chamber on press then something else on release. usually L key

[unborn pine]

Im loving pistols - but I dont know if its because at lvl 5 everything kills everyone

[brisk grove]

can be good

if you know how to aim

[fossil basin]

anyone wanna play and teach me some stuff?

[hasty rapids]

You just have to be accurate. Eventually need to exclusively use the shrimp or five7

[unborn pine]

okay so even top-tier gear theres a pistol to answer

FN5-7 I assume has the pen to deal with stuff

[hasty rapids]

if they havent nerfed it this patch it should be fine

[unborn pine]

and yeah acc wise, I'm a headshot machine, so I'm finding pistols useful

okay, additional question to this, audible range of diff weapons

pistols being smaller calibre, are they not heard as far? or is it kind of moot and just go for silencers

[brisk grove]

idk dont really feel like testing it tho

[unborn pine]

alright

thanks man!

[hasty rapids]

You can definitely hear them far away. Thhe bigger question is how much does subsonic ammo affect the sound travel

[finite raven]

are the ear mufflers useful?

[hasty rapids]

yes definitely

[finite raven]

what do they do?

[brisk grove]

help u hear better

[woeful flax]

Anyway to get better aim like the best way to learn for tarkov people told me not to do aim train they barely do anything

[hasty rapids]

theyll cut down loud sounds and amplify far away sounds

[brisk grove]

ironically enough

[hasty rapids]

you can hear footsteps much further away than naked ears

[unborn pine]

oh another question, I still have to do the scientist HDD quest...

is it only 1 HDD per game? or am I blind

[fossil basin]

can anyone send me the best binds or most optimal

[unborn pine]

talking the Save the Mole quest specifically

[brisk grove]

no its there for everyone

[finite raven]

i just got killed by someone who has 12kd and 100% escape rate. Is that normal?

[brisk grove]

just make sure you extract once you have it

[brisk grove]

hours?

[hasty rapids]

The hdd is there for everyone

[unborn pine]

so if I do a scav run, doesnt matter the time and itll be there?

[finite raven]

28

[hasty rapids]

you cant pick it up as a scav

[unborn pine]

ohhh

[brisk grove]

no you wont be able to get it if its a scav run

[unborn pine]

maybe thats why I can never find it

[brisk grove]

either a headshot machine or cheater

[hasty rapids]

All mission stuff except collecting random loot has to be done as pmc

[brisk grove]

except quests where you have to find stuff in raid scav's work as well

[finite raven]

are cheaters common? When i was contemplating buying the game i saw loads of reddit posts of people crying that there is a cheater problem

[brisk grove]

They've always been a problem

I've done 54 raids so far not a single cheater killed me

[finite raven]

damn i would never risk cheating in this game. Cost me 60 bucks getting it 25% off

[woeful flax]

I've done over a hundred and had 1 cheater

[brisk grove]

There not that big of a problem but people who cry about it most of the time probably got killed by a good player

[woeful flax]

Well now you can check profile to see if they are

[finite raven]

yeah. I play a lot of Hunt:showdown and most the people there cry when a good player kills them

got some "nice" comments on my steam profile from some mad people

[brisk grove]

They come and go and they will probably get banned so dont sweat it

[woeful flax]

I just wanna get better with aiming

And spotting people

[brisk grove]

Only thing I can tell ya man is have your eyes peeled and know what a player looks like

With or without camo

[pearl copper]

cue my teammated getting killed and goes "oh it's a cheater"...5seconds later after loading screen to check profile it's a 20%SR with 1 K.D

[woeful flax]

Yeah Lmaoo that's what I'm saying u can't blame cheaters half the time

[woeful flax]

Yeah

[finite raven]

i cant get the hang of that. I killed some dude that was sprinting at me with a shovel and turned out it was a player

[brisk grove]

ye Ive done that to a couple people on ground zero doing some naked runs

Ran one guy right out into gunfire one time

[green tide]

what does the sj1 injector do?

[brisk grove]

Ask the wiki nerds

[finite raven]

The thing is though i feel like the maps are so big yet so small. I keep spawning on the same 2 places on ground zero

[signal rapids]

everyone goes to the same spot on ground zero so it feels smaller

[brisk grove]

Ground Zero is incredibly small so you will most likely spawn in the same place

[signal rapids]

spawns are condensed and theres really only one poi

[brisk grove]

people also can spawn next to you

[hasty rapids]

i think its a great map but awful for jamming so many people into

especially noobs and wolves

[brisk grove]

Yeah way too packed for the amount of players.

You may aswell play factory instead

[hasty rapids]

Its such a beautiful map though

[brisk grove]

Only advice I can give is avoid ground zero for maybe the first couple of days for the next wipe

[brisk grove]

fr

[finite raven]

when was this wipe?

[brisk grove]

the 27th of dec

[finite raven]

oh. so pretty recent then

[brisk grove]

yeah

you can attempt it if you want but I dont recommend it

[hasty rapids]

Still tons of lowbies all over. Lots of new players as well. Its like clubbing baby seals on Ground Zero map

[brisk grove]

What lobbies you getting and how can i get them

[abstract vine]

yea, i just quit doing that map and sticking to interchange to learn the game

[orchid dagger]

At what flea market rep can I sell 3 things at once?

[hasty rapids]

i believe its 10.0

[orchid dagger]

Damn 😦 pain

[hasty rapids]

it used to be 30

[orchid dagger]

i remember when you could do 3 without rep :p

[brisk grove]

So you had to have 10 flea market rep to sell one item

[hasty rapids]

no, to sell 3 at a time

until then its 2 at a time

[brisk grove]

ok I got scared for a sec

[hasty rapids]

but if you have 10 bolts, you can list them all as one listing

[brisk grove]

ok

[nocturne moat]

which map would have the quickest que time for scaving

[hasty rapids]

none of them right now. I think scaving is broken

[wicked jetty]

why arent peacekeeper quests unlocked?

have friend from west pt 1 done

[signal rapids]

level 20 requirement

[wicked jetty]

kk thx

[hasty rapids]

Fishing Gear should unlock before 20

you may just need to relaunch the game

[zinc canopy]

my friend did part 2 and got fishing gear

wiki says part 2 is need and level 10

[wicked jetty]

no way you have to do pt2 now

[hasty rapids]

hand over $5k

[wicked jetty]

thats new right, last wipe you didnt have to?

yep thats what it was

[vapid sentinel]

anyone have a max workbench cant find a craft i unlocked

[icy terrace]

why is it so damn bright?

[vapid sentinel]

[brisk grove]

snow

[vapid sentinel]

called snowblindness

[icy terrace]

Never saw snow in my life

[ebon rain]

[elfin sinew]

Hmmm

[hybrid crest]

can my rx 560 run this game well?

[sharp socket]

probably not

[bold kernel]

should this be working for mechanic pt4?

[bold kernel]

Nope this is new build

[bold kernel]

You can by going into setting > controls > phrases (or in raid by doule y ? i think but better in options) right click on phrase you want to bind and pick f1 there

[bold kernel]

can someone explain how he knew where i was in this clip? i am a bit confused.

[bold kernel]

well you shot him he knew you are on the roof then he heard you sprinting to your position where you died and he peaked there nothing weird

[rain mica]

Best way to get over lvl 15 bear tags? I need them for the RSASS barter and can't seem to ever find any BEARs

[bold kernel]

just killing them lol but for some reasons i dont see a lot of bears too if you can play on russians servers there are more of them

[rain mica]

How bad would the lag be on Russian servers from US East?

[whole thistle]

check server select on the launcher itll telly ou

[bold kernel]

oh alright thank you

[rain mica]

Oh rip didn't know that was there ty 🙂

[summer cedar]

Does anything happen to your pmc if you kill the santa scav?

[bold kernel]

my friend told me that not anymore but i didint test it myself yet

[rotund vine]

i think you lose fence rep...? maybe not

[ebon rain]

oke, so is the wiki out of date?

[tidal lagoon]

the wiki is not always caught up on all the new stuff in a wipe

[edgy plover]

No wiki is right

[rotund vine]

I wanna see the pmc kills

[bold kernel]

jeager l2

[bold kernel]

yea that's what i mean bc it also counts scavs

[sudden thunder]

I’m lvl 9 and not bad at the game just have no luck and nobody to show me the ropes. I need a Chad to show me the way

[worn dove]

[bold kernel]

[crude anvil]

[bold kernel]

[rotund vine]

BUT ITS SANTA

[crude anvil]

free pilgrim

[bold kernel]

RED PILGRIM lol

[crude anvil]

even better

google says rats can barely see red

[fading ridge]

What’s the best maps to play to learn the game?

[frosty musk]

Ground zero

[crude anvil]

customs

[frosty musk]

It's not the easiest map but it's the map you are supposed to play first

[rotund vine]

Offline raids

[fading ridge]

Also why do the servers take so long to load?

[frosty musk]

And the one you should play first

[rotund vine]

with lots of scavs on

[frosty musk]

Because the matchmaking system sucks

[bold kernel]

STOP LYING this map is just bad

[frosty musk]

You have to play it to progress

[crude anvil]

its but ur forced to play

[worn dove]

customs is chad pmc heaven

[crude anvil]

atleast the loot is good

and another car extract for rep

[bold kernel]

well yea but you all must agree that spawns are fricking annoying

[frosty musk]

I've never played it

[bold kernel]

Anyone wanna help me survive one raid in factory for task completion? -.-

[worn dove]

ppl telling u to play customs to learn the game just want to farm you

[frosty musk]

I haven't touched tarkov yet this wipe

Just got access to arena a few days ago and finally got home from the holidays so I've been playing that

[crude anvil]

noooo i would never. not like i need 15 shotgun pmc kills or anything

[sleek totem]

Dificult Question What to Trow out LOL
LV 12 3rd wipe but I rely on item apps to much check price what I need later etc...
even in raid- I'm checking mods haha

[bold kernel]

yep

[tidal lagoon]

customs has a lot of early tasks thats why people are told to learn woods and customs first normally

but now they added ground zero too

[bold kernel]

i feel you man i love set up lol

[frosty musk]

This is far from fully exhaustive

Anyone with more knowledge on some of these items than me can add or remove as necessary

But I think that's a good baseline

[sleek totem]

OHHHHH THANKSSSS !!!!

[crude anvil]

these are good ergo grips

how u gonna cross out tango grips but leave moe

[bold kernel]

ngl rangefinder and compass first thing to sell lol

[bold kernel]

also remove dry fuel but leave ripstop

[frosty musk]

The highest level I've gotten was I think level 22

[past sigil]

anyone down to play im new just started but will follow you

[sleek totem]

yeah - I guess it depends on the play style too- once Lv 3 Trades its practically just buy mods-

[bold kernel]

this is my honest fast take (kinda busy so just removed what i saw)

oh also only 1 apollo needed for craft wilstons not more teapot sell too

[sleek totem]

RANT add: Im in aussie server- BUT biggest tip- (I rarely see on help vids- BUT it works for me a lot since playing Arena)
with PMCs shoot then move to another cover when possible, then crouch and maintain an angle if you hear movement in a direction they will pop out from

Scope in to headshot area- as headshots is key (if you dont have high pen 4class ammo)

You can sprint too- once found- even flanking if its easy- just quick check (peek or move out back into cover) areas not expose yourself too much area they can be at

[sleek totem]

THANK YOU TOO!!!!

Big help
my stash is full I cant even dump items after raids lol

[meager bramble]

Does going scav send you to different regions? I swear I lag a lot more doing scavs

[bold kernel]

yea had simillar problem so ... bought 3 scav boxes, meds etc lol

[meager bramble]

Also what’s the earliest stash container you can acquire

Except for the one you get from therapist
