[rigid grotto]

Yes it’s very good imo

[wheat tree]

[steel forum]

rfb is a good buget gun

[ebon sage]

pp19

[crimson geyser]

its about the same price on flee

[hardy fox]

cant put a laser on it 😦

[tidal lagoon]

they are usually the same price on flea

someone already said that

[lunar wyvern]

Is there any way to be certain a player is a Scav or PMC?
I've killed 2 player Scavs I thought were PMCs and been killed by PMCs I thought were fellow Scavs

[steel forum]

if you see an armband its a pmc

[tough widget]

hey guys, first time going onto ground zero, anything I should know?

[steel forum]

other than that scavs have dirty clothes/bandaged arms/ dirty boots just all round hobo look

but in time you learn what clothes are pmc and what are scavs

[lunar wyvern]

Thanks!

[tidal lagoon]

how the fuck u lvl 15 without going ground zero

[steel forum]

its a scary map for begginers xD lots of pvp

[tough widget]

im joking dw

[tidal lagoon]

u nearly gave me a heart attack man

[tough widget]

I spent 1mil on this kit

mostly on experimentation

[tidal lagoon]

das crazy

[tough widget]

I have 120 hours, never had anything like this

[tidal lagoon]

gl with dat tho mate

[mint light]

[lunar ibex]

ento wyd

[icy veldt]

I was using a armoured rig with lvl 4 chest plates. and full durability.
How is is that I det onetapped by a piranha shot that has 28 pen? When a level 3 armour should had been enough?

[dusty spruce]

love the face tbh

[dusty spruce]

probably hit you in the armpit/thorax

[icy terrace]

How much time should I do gym sessions? I know the first one gives normal xp then the second one gives half the xp but does it extend the cooldown or does it have other negative impacts?

[steel forum]

do it 2 times when the workout icon is gone
then wait a day and do it again

1st time you gain full xp
2nd time you get half
after that you get nothing untill the muscle pain icon is gone

[icy terrace]

Piranha can pen every armor but has lower the change, because its a gauge shot and not gauge slug some lets can just go tru it and fck u up bad. Its 10 pelets x 25 damage, he hit u with 4 clean pelts so you got 100 damage done to your thorax alone. Since our pmc thorax only has 85hp it was def a understandable kill

[icy terrace]

Okay so Just do it twice and wait the normal 24h cooldown to do it again

[steel forum]

yup yup

[abstract remnant]

Why can I not turn in this for the Gunsmith Part 3 quest? I have done all the changes in the wiki and it still isn't letting me complete it

[icy terrace]

remove the bullet in the chamber maybe

[icy veldt]

That has to be quite a low probability for 4/10 to penetrate, right?

[tough widget]

I FOUND OUT

[abstract remnant]

There isn't one

[icy terrace]

If I remember correctly its 4/6 change i think

[steel forum]

you dont need the scope on it
remove that and the rail

[abstract remnant]

Without it I don't have the 200 sighting range, idk

[icy terrace]

It should look like this

[steel forum]

you can use the stock that you have dont have to change it to this one

[icy terrace]

U need the back sight

[abstract remnant]

It says I can't, that's why I put the scope

oh

that rail

[lusty raptor]

so this guy just 1 tapped me and this other scav hunting him

he had 20 KDR, a little sus

[abstract remnant]

I removed one rail... I had another one beneath it lol

[steel forum]

xD

[abstract remnant]

Yeah, I got it, thanks!

[steel forum]

yaaay

[icy terrace]

Yiipii

[stiff wolf]

How can I enter the wepon rack? Just done building it, but I cant accsess it at all. Is it a bug or I am doing something wrong?

[steel forum]

hmm might be bugged it should say something like transfer item

maybe restart your game

[restive steeple]

man I keep running into duos on GZ

tragic

[steel forum]

hey as long as its not a 5 man its fine

[restive steeple]

its not cause I only have enough ammo for one fucker at a time 😔

I domed the first but I had to dump everything into him with an m1911

[steel forum]

ouch

[restive steeple]

it wasnt even a good loot area either, it was up at the barbed wire staircase in Empire where theres only a single wood crate as far as I know, unlucky that they wanted to go check it I guess.

I just want to check out this goddamn LMG without getting trapped inside like a rat

[abstract remnant]

I'm inside a dental clinic in Streets, where is that on the map?

[steel forum]

mmm the one in pinewood hotel?

[abstract remnant]

I think so, i saw the curvy buildings

[elder notch]

anyone who knows Ground zero, pretty good, just getting killed every time, level 9 asking

[steel forum]

[steel forum]

thats nearly the center of the map middle right-ish

[elder notch]

ye EU

[steel forum]

i can hop on with ya i think it will let me into the map if i group with you

[elder notch]

[dusty spruce]

screw the player scav that just killed me

[outer quarry]

what is this marked key for just got in a scav run

[dusty spruce]

scav on scav violence is a pain, i hope you die, durtyrat

[modest kernel]

its for one of the locked doors on streets - marked keys always lead to rooms with the best loot in the game

[dusty spruce]

keep it

[icy terrace]

Keep it and seach it up online so you know where it is and what can be there

[valid sinew]

[forest skiff]

hi guys what loadouts do you recommend for boltie sniping , ive been doing vpo215 with suppresed kedr

I always see people saying vpo with ap rounds but ngl it feels kinda stinky, feel like apm is only good with the semi rifles at closer ranges

[hallow flint]

certain plates are bugged and cant be penned until completely zeroed making ap vpo rounds kind of shit

[austere hound]

At lvl 3 jaeger I like the white body sv-98. Stupid high ergo for a 54 bolty

[forest skiff]

correction , good loadouts for a level 15 with only prapor ant therapist at level 2 KEKW

[austere hound]

Just mosin it up

[merry cave]

im having huge issues where i get stuck in awaiting session start, and then it will say lost connection with server. ill appear to still have my full kit, and then ill lose it all if i try to go into raid, my pmc has no damage to my hp, and i just dont connect to begin with

[austere hound]

Try #community-support

[abstract remnant]

Alright my first skav run in streets was good, only 3 heart attacks, but I did get some really good loot, 2 injectors, one of them I need for a quest, a PSU, some items I need for the hideout

[jade geyser]

anyone help me sort my stash

[lusty raptor]

why oh why do I run into people who know exactly where I am and headeyes me when I need to finish quests reeeeeee

I have a tremendously difficult time spoting people

[jade geyser]

Change POST FX

[wraith mauve]

Alright i'm back, found the E-Drill on customs in the Dorms ;)

[loud jasper]

can someone help me with the first few ground zero quests please? dm me

[solemn raptor]

alright, simply, relax and move a bit slower. If you pretend that you're a navy seal making your way through the map, you're going to survive a lot more :)

[mint light]

@fervent raft

[valid sinew]

any more experinced players willing to duo with a lvl 2 ? just need to learn the ropes

[solemn raptor]

what's up?

[fervent raft]

"how did you know airwingmarine is my favorite streamer?"

[fervent raft]

hows your hideout profit looking this wipe?

[vagrant cargo]

rat advice

[vagrant cargo]

How do these people even get to the point they can play labs

[restive steeple]

aight I refuse to believe its possible to get out of GZ solo

this has been killing my morale so much 💀

[vagrant cargo]

GZ is honestly not great for a beginner map imo

[restive steeple]

well its too bad they give me starting quests there then

[vagrant cargo]

Shit is factory sized with like 12 pmcs

[fervent raft]

idk i just got ratted by g2esports_sunny lvl 55

worst player in the game

[vagrant cargo]

no way that’s real

[fervent raft]

ento pushed him right after and he barely noticed it

[restive steeple]

killed two pmcs just to fucking die to a third coming in after the fact, how am I supposed to get these quests here

[vagrant cargo]

remove rats from tarkov tbh

[vagrant cargo]

my advice is pp19

face shots all day

[restive steeple]

this is tilting me too much I wish they didnt have quests here ahhhudqwhufiwgefy

I hate having to rely on scav raids this much just to get cash but I cant survive a single GZ one as PMC, feels like it wants me to just camp for like 10 minutes till all the players are dead and only scavs and p-scavs are left

😔

[fathom tartan]

I had a question do trios only come up against trios or how does the matching work

[valid sinew]

i like it so far , seems chill tbh

but im lvl 2 , when i run with my 15 friend its a bit more pvp

[restive steeple]

its pvp focused no matter what

[valid sinew]

i mean ofc thats the name of the game but alot less than factory imo idk

im new so litteraly what do i know 💀

[fervent raft]

if anyone has john b's on their scav i will pay greatly

only item i need for kappa please

[green bobcat]

when an extract has the ??:??:??? thing next to it, does that mean that it will spawn some point in the raid or it has a chance to spawn at the beginning and never again?

[vagrant cargo]

lvl doesn’t affect matchmaking

[fervent turret]

the condition is either there at the beginning of the raid, or it isn’t (like car spawned or green flares or lights or campfire is lit)

[green bobcat]

got it, so if the car isnt there it wont show up later

thx!

[valid sinew]

i guess it was just chance ive ran with hm 4 times amd each time its more actiove idk why

[lusty raptor]

I juan tapped i just copied some settings from Wubbzie or the first youtube response

[snow prism]

Anyone wanna run a. Game with me?

[lusty raptor]

i just juan tapped a kid with a frigging PS round with an SKS

should i just sell killa armor? prob going to lose it to a hacker

[runic imp]

how much does it sell for

[restive steeple]

looks like im gonna have to reset my acc in 2 days 😔

[runic imp]

I would use it

[hazy veldt]

that's a valid strategy, if you can't survive otherwise.

or just go play some arena to get used to gunplay a bit.

or offline

[runic imp]

you need to be real patient in GZ when trying to quest

dont run around

[queen warren]

When reloading a gun that loads ammo directly (instead of having magazines), does it pick the ammo stack based on the position in your rig/pockets? If yes, what is the algorithm for picking which ammo stack to load from?

[hazy veldt]

rig internal numbering

[restive steeple]

tried to do a scav run on it so I could have a chance to get a feel for the layout more just to die to another P-scav, I guess thats karma from earlier in the day from my accidental kill.

[daring stag]

where do you find a player's stats?

[queen warren]

Is this ordered like you'd read it? (Starting from top left, moving left to right, then down. Where pockets come last.)

[hazy veldt]

it's rig dependant

[queen warren]

xd

[queen warren]

Do pockets always come last at least?

[hazy veldt]

I'm not sure, I don't usually have more than 1 stack of loose ammo with mosin

[daring stag]

anyone know where I can find player stats in tarkov?

[hazy veldt]

BSG offices.

[queen warren]

In your death screen where it shows their name, you can click an icon beside their name to view their profile. Not sure about outside that screen though.

[young falcon]

you can type someone's name up in the friends tab and view their profile from there or in your character tab for your own stats

[daring stag]

Crap wish I knew. Found a hacker with the name Silly_D, was trying to look him up

[hazy veldt]

oh if it's just a specific player, then go to messages->friends window->search their name

you can see their profile from there

[daring stag]

oh nice. Ill check it out

account is 19 days old. These guys just keep getting banned and buying new accounts

[bold kernel]

can u still do this jump or no

[cloud hill]

Only hours played isnt reset on wipes

[daring stag]

oh my bad

[cloud hill]

So thats the best indicator, the days is since the wipe pretty much

[steel forum]

should be possible with high enough strenght

[cosmic yarrow]

i spawned with a rare key as scav, literally waited 15 min to go out of house, did 5 steps instant headshot

[lusty raptor]

who do I pay to repair my armor? I've always paid Prapor and just noticed his repair quality is terrible

[cosmic yarrow]

skier

[bold kernel]

soo did they patch the jumping in trees

i tried and it didnt work

[steel forum]

they did yes trees are patched

but you can still get onto some

[bold kernel]

i guess old gas rotation doesnt work anymore

rip

[queen furnace]

they put the top hitbox of the tree higher so u can't jump onto it anymore, some small trees are still possible tho if u can get the top

[icy veldt]

This helps?

[jade geyser]

alot yes

[icy veldt]

I've been struggling wuite a lot so I'll try it.

[icy veldt]

I've tried and failed miserably.

[bold kernel]

lol

also those are the scavs from stronghold using mg's and shooting crackhouse right

[knotty adder]

Do people buy AF chops? and if they do how much should I sell it for

[bold kernel]

i get a crackhouse spawn, go up second floor and get fkin domed

[granite pike]

I haven’t played since streets came out (maxed at lvl 30 or so) and I’m trying to get back into Tarkov. Is there anything major I should know now?

I have about 1k hours btw

[raw wharf]

is this key worth it or nah ?

its going for 1 mil do i keep it or sell it

[hazy veldt]

If you want to do the quest soon, you keep it.
Otherwise sell it.

[knotty adder]

Bro why cant I find pharmacist key

checked car 5 times

[raw wharf]

what quest/whoose quest is it used in ?

[hazy veldt]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Colleagues_-_Part_2

[lost epoch]

colleagues part 2, gotta collect item in planter, id sell it you can prob get it done with someone else

[raw wharf]

these r my current therapist quests

do i have to do a lot more quests to get colleagues part 2 or am i close to it ?

[hazy veldt]

general wares -> colleagues part1 -> colleagues part2

it's a dead end chain though, so personally I'd sell the key and buy it for 1/10th in a month or something

[raw wharf]

ok thx

[dusty spruce]

what quest do you need the portable bunkhouse key for?

[viral flicker]

when i open insurance tab it says package will expire in 11 hours. does that mean i will lose my insurance gear?

[hazy veldt]

bad rep evidence

[hazy veldt]

yes

[granite pike]

Yeah

[bold kernel]

why wont my tarkov install

[cursive storm]

how tf do you counter this? Jesus Christ peek.... Not realistic/not fun.

[remote pollen]

What is a good backpack, rig to hold items?

[formal garden]

is there a certain task i should priotirize for the reward? i kinda just do whatever task sounds interesting at the time

[fervent raft]

the jesus peek LMAO

[limber notch]

whats stopping me from breaking this?

[fervent raft]

level or hideout upgrades im not sure

it just comes at one point

[limber notch]

all I need is nutrition to have all lvl 1 (and shooting range)

and im lvl 16

[silent python]

im level 10 rn do i need ssd or just sell it ?

[fervent raft]

i have no clue what triggers that you can break it

but its not nice, its gonna give you bad stats for a while

and then it becomes good again

[cloud hill]

Time, have to just wait for the options

[fervent raft]

yeah but its tied to either level or hideout progression

not sure which one

and im too lazy to google it

[cloud hill]

when the wall is unlocked its just time to mop then wait to mop/break again afaik

[fervent raft]

yep but hes asking when it happens

[cloud hill]

Yea he has it unlocked already thats why im saying its just time, option will appear within the next day

[indigo bronze]

do you think the price of sugar will go up?

[balmy flame]

How do I accept this quest?

i dont see a way to accept it

[past crescent]

You should be able to click accept under prapors portrait

[steel forum]

leftside top below fence there it says accept

[balmy flame]

fucking hell ive been looking at that all morning

and couldnt figure it out xD

[steel forum]

yeah its a bit hidden xD

[full halo]

I got the sledgehammer but the option to destroy the defective wall isn't there.. what to do?

[steel forum]

keep it the wall will come

i got it at lvl 15 dunno if its standard like that

[steel forum]

to upgrade should be a bit below off what you ss

center low

[full halo]

nothing bro lol

[steel forum]

oh thats.... wierd

maybe restart your game it should be there

[full halo]

yeah.. is it because I bought it from flea market? that shouldn't matter tho

[steel forum]

no

[full halo]

good idea

[steel forum]

does not matter where you got it from

[full halo]

@steel forum nope

maybe I gotta wait until the floor is no longer clean from when I mopped it

[pliant flint]

Why do I only ever get server disconnect when on Customs

[dark citrus]

ya know,
is it better to go in solo for a first raid?

[solemn raptor]

sure :) It's probably not going to go that well, but you'll have fun :)

[sour kraken]

how much is btr

and what faction does it shoot? bear?

[atomic hawk]

You should go to woods very easy map

[solemn raptor]

it shoots everything equally.

no discrimination from the btr <3

[sour kraken]

lol and what's the BTR's menu?

[solemn raptor]

what do you mean?

[sour kraken]

payment and shit

[dry storm]

whats a good semi safe way for a new low level player to earn some money solo

[solemn raptor]

relax for the first 10 minutes of the raid. If you survive those first 5 minutes, your chance of survival goes up by an insane amount.

[daring stag]

Probably scaving reserve. Lots of filing cabnets and other things to loot. Usually all the pmc are rushing to kill the raiders so more loot is available.

[dawn shadow]

does anyone wanna run ground zero quests?

[hazy veldt]

check again tomorrow, wasn't there for me right away.

[full halo]

alr thanks

[indigo kayak]

with signal part 3 if i die do i have to place the jammers again

[fervent raft]

@mint light

what are we thinking of this build

little hint, it was a trio hiding on parking stairs

[indigo kayak]

it needs 3-4 giant flashlights

[fervent raft]

wrong

he brought this to labs

is next hint

[night lava]

where can i find rfid reader? i need it for a task but i sold the one which i got from the task but i havent found any rfids in 400 raids, where do i look for them?

[fervent raft]

you get on from a task i think?

otherwise its fastest to find on labs or lighthouse

[night lava]

does vpx also spawn on lighthouse or labs?

[mint light]

queue with me real quick cuh

[modern crown]

labs yes

[fervent raft]

what are you gaming?

[mint light]

pocket watch

[indigo kayak]

this is the kind of gun you should be looking at

[fervent raft]

i need 1 ledx man

[mint light]

bockey batch

[fervent raft]

granddad army

[flat dune]

why is my scav taking 10 minutes for the session to start

[fervent raft]

ill come as soon as i find this ledx man

im on 12th labs raid, they nerfed ledx

[indigo kayak]

the fact thisi s a only 680k build is quite surprising

[fervent raft]

its a marine build

[rustic phoenix]

anyone have some advice for a noob? downloading now

[hazy veldt]

try offline raids a few times

[wooden edge]

two attempted scav runs in a row it loads loot then just awaits session start infinitely and i end up not getting in and losing my scav. am i doing something wrong?

[worn drum]

wtf just got like 20 loads of insurance back and no space in my stash for it

[solemn raptor]

I think your best bet is to not scav at all :)

[rain nexus]

Is there any recommended map website that also provided a detailed quest guide

So like it shows a good and easy to understand map with quest highlights and such on it

[wooden edge]

forgot i asked for your opinion wise ass

[solemn raptor]

I'm not kidding you. Everyone's having issues scaving. it's best to just avoid it.

[young orbit]

scaving is life

[rustic hearth]

Same... Didn't get any for almost a week, then got 15 in an hour

[limpid plinth]

hey i already turned in the toz and I have the white body armor for skier but it wont let me turn it in, anyone know why

[limpid plinth]

i did but it does not say

nevermind then thanks, more more tho didd they remove rogues on lighthouse or something i dont see them

[vestal folio]

Is AP 63 actually still PK 3 or is the wiki inaccurate

[zinc canopy]

[bold kernel]

[rocky shoal]

ok so i have 315 thousand dollars, and i have nothing in my stash, like actually nothing in my stash and im level 7 and i dont know What to do, i try to run scav runs but i need money and that isnt getting me all that much and it takes to long any ideas?

[daring stag]

Did anyone else get disconnected from servers?

[maiden delta]

Anyone know why my launcher won't let me launch Arena and it just says "Soon" I have had EoD forever but just redownloaded the game

[bold kernel]

learn a good pmc or scav route they will help you 100%
even going into raid with a backpack, pistol, and rig and knowing a good route that will avoid a lot of people is benificial

[rocky shoal]

like What map? im thinkin maybe shoreline or ground zero

[viral grail]

On ground zero you will 100% encounter someone

Maybe you can try to loot stashes on woods or shoreline

[hidden basin]

pk4

[hidden basin]

quit lyting to me

[viral grail]

Why would i

[bold kernel]

scav it up on shoreline, you won’t encounter people hardly if you play your cards right
as for pmc run either streets or reserve and loot up top

[rocky shoal]

ight gotchu

[vast olive]

Anyone able to help me figure out why my quest is not completing

[lime anvil]

My synchronizing with other players is stuck at 97% what should I do

[forest skiff]

any sherpas whiling to help me with bolty sniping in woods?

I feel like I have no idea what im doing

or whom ever at this point

I know the map and anything but whenever I hear shots I'm so lost

Then I see how insanely good people are and im just at a loss

Im trying to be a mobile sniper is that too hard a goal? Should I aim for waiting on a rock 15 minutes for someone to pass?

[sand ledge]

Not so new but haven't played in a while. Would like a refresher for the controls , settings, and where the extract locations are. (For Scav & PMC) As well as how to heal certain wounds. I have EOD edition.

[formal garden]

why have i not gotten any xp in the crafting skill despite crafting shit all wipe?

havent gotten a single point of xp but ive definitely been crafting

[warped pagoda]

you crafting the same thing over and over?

[formal garden]

nope

[bold kernel]

Even with crafting same stuff you get xp just less

[warped pagoda]

ah, wiki says otherwise so that's what I believed.

[bold kernel]

well if it's on wiki im wrong

sorry

i still alt between 2 crafts bc it gives you bonus

[viral grail]

Yeah, 1 point

Sadly crafting the same shit again and again gives you 0 exp points

[bold kernel]

do you know after how many tho ? cause i dont want to believe that 2nd craft gives you 0 already

[viral grail]

Cant really remember so heres a screenshot from wiki

Leveling crafting is pain in the ass

[prisma grail]

what's the best map to collect 4 lights/lasers for Scav daily mission?

[warped pagoda]

I did woods, loaded in with one, picked two up, and asked a scav for theirs

[lime summit]

can someone help me with ground zero task? https://ptb.discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/935947285613920347

[scenic jewel]

got my first gpu of the wipe, FIR. is it worth selling now for 630k and then investing that into my hideout? (hideout is still pretty low level, mostly 1s and a few 2s of the first area) or should i hold onto it for the bitcoin farm/tasks?

[weary mist]

i saved my first 3 FIR then used the rest for BTC farm

[hazy veldt]

keep for quest

[surreal night]

anyone have tips on a bugged "Saving the Mole" quest? I died carrying the Hard Drive. Now there is no hard drive when I go to the room. I have gone to the room and run around it and extracted and the quest still wont let me complete it.

[astral glen]

Did you check all of the spots it can spawn or only the place it spawned when you first found it?

[surreal night]

i only checked the original spot it spawned. the wiki was saying that's the only spot. i guess there are other spots in that same room?

[astral glen]

The wiki says there are two spawns, there is one desk, next time check the top of the desk and the right side shelf

[surreal night]

thanks

[north granite]

What do you guys think is the best way to complete Tarkov Shooter Part 3?

[steel forum]

well i would get a cheap vpo bolty or mosin if your feeling fancy and go factory

idk if this is the right place to ask but does anyone think they could help me through woods to jaeger's letter? I've done a couple practice raids but i can't find my way around and keep getting killed by bots

[north granite]

I keep getting pooped on by people with full kits and full auto lmao

[north granite]

What servers are you on

[steel forum]

yeah that does tend to happen but on other maps its super situational to get pmcs that close

[north granite]

Yeah I thought I got one with a dvl on woods earlier but I was 30m away

[steel forum]

you can go to any hot spot like customs fortress or reserve

reserve is mostly cqb

so you might have some luck there

[north granite]

Reserve is kind of nightmarish I could try that though

[forest cave]

NA

[north granite]

I can take you to woods

[forest cave]

Awesome, where do you want to vc?

[north granite]

Up to you

[forest cave]

I sent an rq

[hazy veldt]

mosin factory.

half the time it's pistoleers with no armor so you can drop 'em with torso shots

[austere hound]

Factory without a doubt

Buy some apm and go factory. You'll have it done quickly

[vagrant cargo]

me personally i would suggest vpo

can i post my shooter 3 vpo action

[vagrant cargo]

APM ???? what r u rich

wait do u guys not do shooter 3 when ur lvl like 10

i rush jaeger quests because they’re more xp than other starter quests and they’re fun

[austere hound]

Just run 5 rounds at a time. Ez

[viral grail]

"FUN"

[vagrant cargo]

legit i found shooter 3 fun

[viral grail]

Yeah

I did it in 1 raid

But most of the times it is horrible

[vagrant cargo]

look at my swag

[stuck lichen]

APM is expensive but considering you only really need to risk like 8 rounds it's not that bad for tarkov shooter

[viral grail]

Nice!

I took snb's and one shotted everyone

Fun af

[vagrant cargo]

what lvl did u guys did it at

i only had access to .366 fmj

[stuck lichen]

level 24 and I still haven't finished it

[vagrant cargo]

wow i guess im the only person doing it early

[viral grail]

24, but only because my mate was playing on my pc when i couldnt

[stuck lichen]

early would have been like week 1 or 2 of wipe

I always do stirrup the first few days of wipe

[velvet egret]

am i screwed because i havent done setup yet

[stuck lichen]

nah setup can be done anytime

[astral glen]

no because you can just do setup

[velvet egret]

feels like people have better armor now

[hazy veldt]

just aim for eyes

[stuck lichen]

pirahna shreds people up close regardless of armor

[astral glen]

there are tons of people still doing setup which means they have no helmet

[velvet egret]

good to know

[astral glen]

use pirahna or flechette and tap some faces

if you get one pellet in their neck or armpit they are probably going to fall over

[stuck lichen]

I'm waiting for flechette because flechette is busted for killing players

[astral glen]

you can buy it from the flea market

[stuck lichen]

pirahna is basically just magnum buck but way better

[astral glen]

you don't get it from a trader

[stuck lichen]

5k per round is obscene

[velvet egret]

wow i need to find that stuff and sell it lol

[stuck lichen]

when I did setup last wipe I would go through 60 flechette in one raid

[vagrant cargo]

piranha feels so weak.

[astral glen]

you cannot buy it from jaeger anymore, you can only craft it or find it in raid. So if you aren't willing to pay flea prices, I got bad news for you on Flechette

Pirahna is budget Flechette

[stuck lichen]

I'll craft it, 5k is ridiculous

[astral glen]

It shreds armour and all you need is a pellet to catch them anywhere fleshy

I've one tapped people square on in the chest when they wear class 5 armour with pirahna

[velvet egret]

to do setup do you just rat in a bush and wait

[stuck lichen]

setup is definitely a rat quest

[velvet egret]

i dislike ratting and shotguns lol

[astral glen]

yeah and 15 is a bit much for how early they moved it on the quest chain

[vagrant cargo]

do u really have to rat for setup

[velvet egret]

my kd is 2. 15 is gonna take forever

[hazy veldt]

just do 2-3 setup raids a day

insure ushanka

[velvet egret]

ive been collecting those hats and scav vests

[stuck lichen]

you don't have to but it's way easier considering how much ushanka's cost

[hazy veldt]

you'll get it done eventually.

[vagrant cargo]

it’s a measly 40k wtf

40k is nothing wtf

[wispy willow]

scav vests are cheap barter for a slickers (from jaeger)

[velvet egret]

ohhh

[hazy veldt]

also scav customs

go dorms, find ushankas

nobody loots that shit

[stuck lichen]

it doesn't matter how much money I have I refuse to pay that much for a ushanka on principle

[vagrant cargo]

weak

what’s the point of being rich if ur not ready to burn money

i smoke my rubles (that’s why im broke)

[hazy veldt]

is fine, market will pay

[steel forum]

tru thats why i bought a foregrip for 160k

[viral grail]

Why in the hell would you do that

GUnsmith?

[vagrant cargo]

money burnt but flex achieved

[steel forum]

yup the shift grip

[hazy veldt]

just get a highlevel friend to buy you one 💀

[viral grail]

I paid like 400k for a muzzle device

[stuck lichen]

you could have done the barter and got a shift grip cheaper than 160k

[steel forum]

nah dont have the barter yet

[stuck lichen]

it's a level 1 mechanic barter

[vagrant cargo]

ahahaha u have friends ??? loser

[hazy veldt]

[vagrant cargo]

i have no friends that play eft

im solo 4ever

not even by choice

[hazy veldt]

It's a choice you're making.

[viral grail]

Relatable

[hazy veldt]

by not finding a group.

[steel forum]

uff i remember when i started out did not play with anyone the first 1500 hours

[vagrant cargo]

nope

[sly warren]

I want to unlock the AMXC - I have these tasks in my Jaeger line currently, which do I need to do in order to unlock Hunter - Controller, Evil Watchmen, Trophy, Nostalgia, Justics, Outcsts, Administrator, Shooter 7, Delicious Sausage

[vagrant cargo]

where would i do that anyways the ppl in lfg here r weird and mean sometimes

[hazy veldt]

[velvet egret]

i havent had good luck here either

[vagrant cargo]

i kinda hate streamers

[viral grail]

that is a choice.

[viral grail]

Oh

They changed it huh

You cant buy axmc no more i guess

[vagrant cargo]

I think ill stick w solo anyways

I did secured perimiter - so probably Supply Plans or Kind of Sabotage, I turned in the thing to Therapist I think.

Found it! Supply Plans

its under therapist - thanks!

what do i do now just wait?

[lost frost]

dismantle

[velvet egret]

yea eventually you can dismantle it

[nocturne bough]

do u know how long it takes so i can

[bold kernel]

I think u mop it once

afterwards u can dismantle it

[velvet egret]

yea something like that i had to clean it twice

[glacial root]

I have a question. Lets say I have my scav ready and my fence is at currently 2 rep. What happens if I get my fence to rep 3. Does the scav get refreshed with the new better scav loot (since I gained 1 fence rep). Or does it keep the old scav loot from fence rep 2?

[nocturne bough]

ok i cleaned it once so far

[bold kernel]

I dont think ur scav get's automatically refreshed, once the scav died/extracted the new one should have better stuff I guess (im not sure)

[hazy veldt]

it doesn't refresh

[leaden crystal]

how do i turn the light on my helmet on

[hazy veldt]

separate keybind, I think H? maybe, but check in-game

[icy nexus]

can ground zero spawn gas ans

[lost frost]

nice fursona :3

[hazy veldt]

You're joking or actually think that's a fursona?

[leaden crystal]

thanks

[leaden crystal]

uuhhh wym

[lost frost]

thats obviously a fursona lol?????????

[meager bramble]

Where is the best place to scav for intelligence folders?

I’ve seen that customs crackhouse library has some but I can’t find any

[severe flower]

I'm still fairly new to the game but does anyone else have issues spawning as a scav and the spawns always being camped by a pmc? i feel like i cant do anything due to spawns always being camped

[leaden crystal]

what is that

[vagrant cargo]

spawns aren’t really consistent as a scav so i don’t think u can really get camped

ur prolly unlucky and spawning as a scav right in front of a pmc

[vagrant cargo]

oh that’s finally a thing

tarkov is saved

[severe flower]

i spawned into ground zero like beneath an underpass and there were 4 dead bodies at my feet, then me and my friend both died.

same happens often with pmcs, idk if im doing something wrong but it always seems that i cant move far without peaking a corner and someone dropping me lol

[wispy willow]

ground zeros spawns are all really close

[severe flower]

oh alright.

i dont mean to rant or anything of the sort, i just really enjoy the game but not sure where to start when it comes to improving.

[velvet egret]

move immediately away from your spawn on gz

sometimes its just bad luck

[severe flower]

noted

[velvet egret]

especially here the spawns are ridicuously close

[broken warren]

Ground Zero is chaos. And you can tell it was designed to be. Spawns are all next to each other and the map is tiny so pvp is more than likely. You just need to not rush it, and yes people camp a lot. They will camp your quests most of the time, and they will camp your extracts. That’s kind of a part of Tarkov though, in time you start learning common camping spots so you start checking before you move in. Like, I’m sure you will check that underpass for peakers before you run near it. I also started this wipe btw. All the advice I give is actually advice given to me before by my experienced friends :)) I died in that map.. so many times 😂

[velvet egret]

yea i havent played since 2018 and i got to the point i was doing knife/pistol runs on gz just to get my tasks lol

[bold kernel]

it's my first wipe, anyone wanna assist me questing on some new maps I didnt touched yet? Shoreline / Interchange / Reserve. Im playing on EU btw

[daring stag]

a scav just tanked 8 shots of .50 bmg. wtf?

[wild ivy]

gotta let ur nuts hang in this game

like roleplay as if ur pmc just did 10 lines of coke and is paranoid

if u play like that u'll do better

[waxen scarab]

any chance somebody has a machinery key they'd be willing to use for me? I'm on attempt 3

[crude anvil]

t4 armor and 50bmg sucks ass

[crude anvil]

2nd story of dorms

just take it its 100% spawn

[steel forum]

yeea in 205

[waxen scarab]

Yeah, i've grabbed it and opened the truck 3 times now. Keep dying en route to extract with watch

[crude anvil]

play night

[bold kernel]

i'm on EU but I got it - could join u, one of us gonna have high ping tho (wouldnt mind me having a high ping) x)

@waxen scarab

[waxen scarab]

Appreciate it, about to tear my hair out getting this damn thing

[bold kernel]

just gimme like 10 minutes - just started a scav

yeah I just done that quest a few days ago - customs a nightmare 😄

[crude anvil]

its one of the easiest quests in this game theres so many more quests that will make u tear out more than ur hair

[bold kernel]

get as a new player in customs and get to dorms + the parking lot with the sniper scav and call that easy

pretty hard ngl

[waxen scarab]

this is like my 6th wipe, i'm aware of the hell that awaits me later lol

[crude anvil]

bruh

how many hours u got?

[waxen scarab]

think around 1k

[crude anvil]

so u barely play each wipe xd

[waxen scarab]

get to around lvl 35-ish and get bored lol

[crude anvil]

yep yep same

im playing nothing but labs for the last few days

no other map is enticing

[daring stag]

Are there any decent slugs now?

[crude anvil]

slugs are shit overall

but ap20 is okay-ish

[waxen scarab]

ftx is good cost effeciency early on

[daring stag]

that sucks. used to love doing budget shottys with slugs

[crude anvil]

i mean just use like an svt

hits like slugs and actually useable

[daring stag]

true

@waxen scarab 5mins max

[dusk quest]

so I've played a handfull of raids, and i dont know where to find loot, i don't know where to look or even what contains loot/what doesn't.

[waxen scarab]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov

Pick a map and start learning the layout. Whether that's actually going into a raid or doing an offline. Nothing beats experience

[hexed lance]

guys can i have help playing the game, i know how the menu and controls work i just need like a raid guide i guess im in asia

[dusk quest]

i think my friend runs customs all the time, so i guess i'll go with that

[waxen scarab]

customs is a good starter map, first one i learned

[bold kernel]

sorry my g, I ate some spicy noodles and my ass was on fire. Wanna hop on a call? @waxen scarab

[waxen scarab]

sure customs #10

[bold kernel]

Anybody wanna join us on customs questing? https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/724759554260205708

[carmine shale]

do rogues aggro on you as a usec if you enter the buildings?

[humble pollen]

What should be the first map I learn?

[waxen scarab]

technically ground zero's lol

[dusky prawn]

is there a reason i can't ctrl+left click gear onto me and stuff into my sorting table? i've seen others do it

nvm

its alt+left click

[dusk quest]

why does it take so much longer for me to like inspect loot than my friend?

[bold kernel]

And for sorting table it's shift left click

[bold kernel]

I mean there is skill that lets you inspect faster doesn't matter nowadays there are not that many things to inspect

[hazy veldt]

are you inspecting with rightclick->inspect or middle mouse?

[dusk quest]

not inspect but like, when you open a container and the loot is like, slowly discovered i guess

[nocturne lotus]

what is the best insta explosion GL ammo

[distant wedge]

different skill level?

there is for example "search" skill, which influences how fast you discover items while searching

[worn dove]

do ai scavs ever carry 2 weapons? (like 2 sks)?

[distant wedge]

and also "attention" - I never remember which one does what exactly

[distant wedge]

only if picked from a dead body

so you might find scav with 2 weapons, but ammo/magazines only to one

[worn dove]

ai scavs loot bodies? O_O

[distant wedge]

I think they were only taking guns, nothing else

unless I am mistaking something

that's why you can find scav with second gun and no ammo - they don't loot bags and rigs

[steel forum]

yea they loot the bodies
so be carefull dying next to scavs they will slurp up your gear and you wont get it back in insurance

[worn dove]

lol wow, that is insane

[dusk quest]

Probably, he’s been playing the game for like 2-3 years

[distant wedge]

those reset every wipe

who wants to buy it?

[dusk quest]

Ah, still he’s played this wipe way more than me

[distant wedge]

makes sense, this skill levels up naturally as you can imagine, by searching containers 😄

[dusk quest]

I bought the game today so, not very much leveling for me

[distant wedge]

long way ahead of you

[dusk quest]

Yeah, still getting the grip of things

I think the #1 thing I need to learn is extractions

Without my friend helping me I’m basically worthless at finding my way around

[distant wedge]

open mapgenie and try

there is offline mode so you won't lose your gear, good for learning maps, also can be played without bots

or ask for assistance, people are posting screenshots of where they spawned and get responses with instructions how to get to extract

yesterday people were literally drawing arrows on maps for a guy who went interchange first time 😄

[hexed lance]

can someone help me out with the game, im hella new

ive died 2 times now

[distant wedge]

lmao

[hexed lance]

i have a .5 kd

[distant wedge]

I have around 70 out of 220 raids survived

so your "I died 2 times" sounds funny 😄

[hexed lance]

i have 0/2

[distant wedge]

welcome to Tarkov

[hexed lance]

yes

[distant wedge]

I can help with some stuff if somebody wants. Drop with you to raid, show around, give some loot. I'm wiping my account tomorrow anyway

[hexed lance]

people dont really wanna play with me cuz im new

so its hard learning

[distant wedge]

have you tried joining some LFG here?

[hexed lance]

i have but im sitting in a channel alone now

[distant wedge]

what server you play?

[hexed lance]

any asia works

[marble marlin]

Im new as well got missions to do when im on I will msg you

[hexed lance]

any server tbf atp

[hexed lance]

thanks

[marble marlin]

Almost got out of ground zero fully kitted out after dropping some fools only for sniper to drop me at exfil

[distant wedge]

never tried Asia before, we can give it a go in a minute if you want

[hexed lance]

thatd be great

im in lfg beginners 12

[distant wedge]

extract campers is something you will probably always struggle with

[marble marlin]

Yeah knew first shot hit healed up and made a run but got hit shit happens

[distant wedge]

few more games and you'll be crabbing everywhere 😄

[marble marlin]

[nocturne moat]

do the bosses only spawn at certain times cause i feel like ill get a couple raids in a row with them spawning but then none again for a week

[velvet egret]

think its random

man its fun when scavs go full traitor on factory

[steel forum]

nah they spawn at a random procentage that gets increased more and more as the wipe progresses

[teal depot]

True but especially when you kill them and get rep

[velvet egret]

yea i just got a nice rep boost

[teal depot]

Car is better tho

[hexed lance]

should i do a raid while you hop on?

[velvet egret]

which map is best for car

[distant wedge]

car?

[hexed lance]

idk ive never played

[velvet egret]

vehicle extract

[hexed lance]

legit my 3rd raid

[distant wedge]

which channel were you in?

[hexed lance]

beginner 12

[velvet egret]

i replied to the wrong coment lol

[distant wedge]

ground zero probably, you should have quest for that anyway

[velvet egret]

yea ive done that one. i feel like the wait is so long on gz.

maybe woods or interchange but its such a long walk you need a lucky spawn

[distant wedge]

wait? Car extract is always 1 minute waiting

[velvet egret]

yea but gz is so small its a long minute lol

[distant wedge]

join beginner channel 12 if you want, we go gz now

[velvet egret]

ok i can do a few

[wild lagoon]

can i join

[fringe plank]

Hey, my friend has a problem where he lags to an unplayable amount whenever he shoots his guns. He has updated and reinstalled his drivers, plays on low quality, and still experiences this problem. What else can he do to fix this issue

[solid topaz]

Buy a better pc

[mellow matrix]

Turn off mip streaming, automatic ram cleaner maybe, check if it does anything for him...

Perhaps the DLSS or FSR is messing with it, check if it changes anything

If that doesent help then prob buy a better pc, but i play on a literal toaster and i dont have this problem so idk...

[fringe plank]

He says he has done it all. He says that he has 16gb of ram and that might be the cause

[mellow matrix]

I have 16 and its not a problem

Maybe check out or remove the "use only physical cores"

Has he done that ?

Maybe his cpu is acting weird cause of it

[clever knoll]

I know you talked about uninstalling drivers, but has your friend switched from Nvidia to amd recently perhaps?

In that case make sure they also uninstall the old drivers manually via DDU

And also iirc #community-support has a pinned message about this issue

[teal depot]

Has he update his driver ? If he has nvidia

[fringe plank]

He just hopped off

[mellow matrix]

"hell nah im sick of this shit ima go get a burgir"

[fringe plank]

True

[solid topaz]

If you completely dismantle a 74u, what is the part called that is the "gun"?

Is it the gas tube?

[teal depot]

Pretty sure that’s the part that loses durability

Like that’s the part that fires

[solid topaz]

Tha gas tube?

[teal depot]

Send a picture

[solid topaz]

I'm not on computer which is why I am asking. Trying to plan a LL1 build

[clever knoll]

Lower receiver iirc

[solid topaz]

Thank you!

Seems like there is no page on the wiki for lower reciever parts..

[mellow matrix]

Its just the "gun"

Lower receiver is just THE "M4A1" and you just need to attach parts for it to work

[solid topaz]

The wiki is usually pretty neat with what kind of parts are compatible. So it would be nice if I could see just the lower reciever and see which parts are compatible!

[mellow matrix]

Well, you wont be building a gun from scratch at LL1 anyways, so i dont think you really need that

[solid topaz]

Well, I don't know. 🤔

Mechanic sells handguard, and rails, and skier has scopes. I believe it can be done

[mellow matrix]

Yeah but it really aint much, and searching the lower wont help you with that

[solid topaz]

Mechanic also sells the lower reciever, but I'm not sure if it's locked behind a quest

[mellow matrix]

Because these parts dont actually attach to the lower receiver

[solid topaz]

It's 10k cheaper for lower reciever from mechanic. If you aren't going to use standard parts it might be cheaper actually

[mellow matrix]

If you want to see if a handguard goes on a gun, you need to ling search its barrel, and depending on its length and the gas block you have, aswell as muzzle devices you will see what fits

[waxen scarab]

@bold kernel Hey man, i "somehow" made it out with alot of stuff. Ended that raid with 4 pmc kills, i'm keeping it in my stash if you want it back

[mellow matrix]

[bold kernel]

soz my stomach hurts so much I gotta take a break 😄 pc turned down by accident aswell. I am gonna add u tho, would like to quest sometime again! appreciate it but keep it all for you my g! ❤️

[teal depot]

Get well soon bro

[teal depot]

I will gladly give you a free kit if you are on later 🙂

[bold kernel]

Thx buddy! ate those buldak 2x spicy noodles, destroyed my stomach haha 😄 oh no worries, i am gucci but thx alot friends!! 🙂

[teal depot]

Shiittt bro I tried something like that and my stomach went primal 😩 sending my regards

[mellow matrix]

Thing is you can only really buy standard parts at LL1, pretty much your only options for modding are putting a rail on the gun with a few sights to choose from, and maybe a rail with a light, but thats i think just ar-15 platform.

[bold kernel]

haha appreciate u guys! 🙂

[teal depot]

Ofc you sound like a G

[solid topaz]

I'll try next weekend. Would be nice if it was possible to make one from scratch with all included(shoulder rest, grip, front grip, sight).

I think a silencer is pretty much what is not possible.

[mellow matrix]

If you are into modding guns (like me :p) you should grind quests. They will unlock trader levels for you, which id very much needed to make cool guns.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/658063537893146648/1191113392547700756/image.png?ex=65b6b6ca&is=65a441ca&hm=580931a55d1c9565135a5ea23591ce59229b6829745330e9031b17c0efe32580&

Like this :p but i think you need LL3 and some LL4 to make it for a decent price

[solid topaz]

Not to worry. I'm decently far into wipe. This is for a YouTube vid 🤩

[mellow matrix]

Ah i see

[versed valley]

And now with new recoil making cool guns is even more viable because they are actually usable

[mellow matrix]

Yeah that is my fav part about this wipe xD

[versed valley]

I just wish BSG actually modeled the eotech magnifier properly

[mellow matrix]

Well ehats wrong with it ?

Besides not being a separate part

[versed valley]

Literally one of the big advantages of a holographic eotech is that the dot/crosshair will always be the same size no matter the magnification, it is not like with red dots where the magnifier magnifies both the dot and the target

So the crosshair should stay as small as it is without a magnifier with only the target being magnified

[mellow matrix]

Ah

Did not know that

[versed valley]

Its very cool and unique thing that bsg unfortunetly didnt model

[mellow matrix]

Also when binoculars ?

How is that not in the game

[versed valley]

We have the handheld rangefinder

Which kinda works like that but obv not made for it

[mellow matrix]

I like just running a red dot or holo, and sometimes i just need to scope out a position and they would be so useful

[mellow matrix]

Pretty bad zoom and horrible FOV

I mean better than nothing but... Why not binocs ?

[copper locust]

I need someone to help me with bronze pocket watch

[mellow matrix]

Well, gotta get the key from dorms second story, and use it at the truck.

[mellow oar]

How does armor work now ? Cuz there is armor class 2 for chest and back but armor class 4 for front plate and back plate ? What’s the difference ?

[mellow matrix]

You either got plates or soft armor

You can change the plates, but not soft armor thats sewed into the vest

[versed valley]

Dot size stays the same even with a magnifier

[undone phoenix]

Man just ate a full ppsh clip to the chest

I can never exfil

Such crap

[edgy plover]

just aim a little higher

ez

[bright rune]

Which plates to run in kirasa?
Or is there a nicer armor with Trader 2?

[dusky prawn]

is there any purchasable class 5 plates?

[distant wedge]

I always miss hs with ppsh, initial recoil is crazy high

[edgy plover]

PPSH is a hipfir only gun, face or legs, never chest

[undone phoenix]

Yeah just sucks i had a raven on me and a full bag of loot

[undone phoenix]

First time using it so didnt know that.

[edgy plover]

Yea it's ammo just has no penetration but lots of damage, so you want to avoid shooting at armored areas (chest)
Hipfire just makes it more controllable, same with other high RPM SMGs like the KEDR or MP9, you can aim but you get a lot more recoil

[flat dune]

is tagillas rewards good

[lost frost]

is that a shoe on the left

[lost frost]

ppsh is only leg meta or head meta

[versed valley]

Holographic sights are shoes yes

[versed valley]

Hipfire was nerfed hard with the recoil changes, now its a choice of else a much better accuracy by ads or faster movement speed by hipfire

This is even worse that ppsh doesnt have an option for tac devices

[lost frost]

its still better close quarters

[versed valley]

Very cq sure, but now the range where i'd say its more effective is a lot lower

[solemn lava]

guys being a pmc is so fucking hard, i made most of my money scaving but i have shit ammo all the time and just die a lot as pmc lol

still only level 6 but i gots no more ps ammo or anything useful anymore 😦

[woeful osprey]

[narrow urchin]

if i have low scav rep and they shoot at me instantly and i shoot back and kill do i lose scav rep

[solemn raptor]

Are you looking for advice or something?

[solemn raptor]

They have to hit you afaik for you do not lose rep

[woeful osprey]

hit you and do actual damage

[narrow urchin]

thank you

[versed valley]

Fence sometimes sells decant 545

That being T or PS

[solemn lava]

i guess so, like what can i even do at this point lol

i run into people with better ammo than me and i just dont have a chance aye

[solemn lava]

ive checked fence a few times, never see ps or t yet

[distant wedge]

wasn't fence usually selling just what players sold him?

[zenith bone]

[zenith bone]

i died

[olive tangle]

6000+ hours, NA west, level 29, looking to help new players make money and learn the game. Do not message me for help with ground zero, sorry but I'm level locked out of it. DM ME

[steel forum]

Welp it happens was i at least right on the location?

[full halo]

my visor is completely messed up, but I extracted.. this is my first time extracting with a face visor so will it still be cracked or is it no longer cracked for next raid? I can't repair it either

[distant wedge]

it will be cracked

[full halo]

rip

[young falcon]

as far as I know, if you repair it will still be cracked

[full halo]

oh that sucks

[young falcon]

yup I mean you don't get the mediocre face shields until ragman 3 or you unlock the buy ability from a peacekeeper quest (not sure what one)

[distant wedge]

if I bring items "cannot be discarded in raid" into backpack and die with them, will my killer be able to pickup those items?

[young falcon]

if you complete samples from peacekeeper you can buy the ops-core fast face shield at peacekeeper 4 but that's still somewhat high level

[full halo]

damn alr lol thank you

[mellow matrix]

Ah, the quest i never completed

[young falcon]

I use the tor-2 face shield from ragman 3 since that's ok but it's only armour class 3

[young falcon]

go labs and use sanitar's keycard lmao

[mellow matrix]

No labs is scary

[young falcon]

still a chance with all the cheaters on labs. Found a yellow keycard on a table but hacker beamed me

triple to the head with an rpd and he had a 37kd lmao

[mellow matrix]

xD

Labs moment

[young falcon]

yeah labs sucks I only run it for quests and to get the parts for solar and air filter

shoreline night is also full of cheaters to my experience

i'm talkin like me and my 3 squadmates all get one tapped seconds apart by a 21kd guy

[full halo]

If I kill 1 scav atleast then extract I wont get the runthrough status right

[mellow matrix]

U might

[low merlin]

you need 200xp or 7min ingame time

[young falcon]

as long as you gain a certain amount of XP throughout the raid you won't so that's looting, killing and time spent

[full halo]

alr

thanks

[low merlin]

just killing 1 scav, and not looking at his gear (getting the loot xp), will be less then 200xp

[versed valley]

If you headshot him yes

[low merlin]

I do not think thats true a Scav kill is 80 xp and a headshot for a scav kill gives "*1.1" more xp then a regular kill.

[queen furnace]

doesn't need to be a headshot

[versed valley]

Without a headshot and just by killing him you wont get enoguj xp

[queen furnace]

had many encounters where i go into a factory raid kill a scav in his legs with my shotty and extract without any problem

[north bear]

A none headshot kill should not be enough xp

[low merlin]

if you kill 1 scav, are less then 7min in raid and do nothing else to get xp, you will get a run through

[versed valley]

Because you spent enough time to get the xp on top

[low merlin]

Also a scav headshot kill is "80xp*1,1=88xp"

1 headshot kill in offline mode

[north bear]

At least our wisdom still holds

[distant wedge]

You get a run through if you didn't exceed 500exp I think (or was it 200?)

[low merlin]

200

[distant wedge]

at least how it was working some time ago

[low merlin]

200xp or 7min in game time

[versed valley]

It gives 80 + 1,1x80

So more than double

[low merlin]

yes and that is less the 200 so its a run through, so what you said is wrong that 1 headshot scav kill is enough

[versed valley]

So you have to headshot a scav and touch his body basicly

[low merlin]

get 32 xp thouching the body will probably be enough

[versed valley]

You rarely get less than that and if you do you can just loot his gun and put it back if you want to

[dusky prawn]

is the hall of fame benefits only increased by dogtags?

[versed valley]

Yes

And the higher the level of the opposite faction dogtag the better

[dusky prawn]

do the other items you can show do anything?

[low merlin]

you need dogtags from the faction you did not choose of players you killed

[versed valley]

Nope

Its kinda just extra stash space for certain items

And for hideout decoration i guess

[versed valley]

BEAR superiourity

(lighthouse still feels like ww2 dday but at least its something)

[knotty topaz]

Do you lose scav karma for shooting rogues as a scav?

[versed valley]

No

[versed grotto]

Any hints on trying to successfully exfil? Or combat.t
I've lost nearly my entire stash trying to extract and so far haven't extracted in about 10 or so runs

[knotty topaz]

How are you dying before you extract?

Like is it the same way every time

[versed grotto]

Usually get slapped by AI or other people - then die from wounds etc.
I struggle to find the exfil itself, so I run around like a headless chicken.

In relatively okay on custom map as I know where the exfil is. But it happe s.

[knotty topaz]

If you're struggling to find exfils then go on offline raids to learn the maps

helps a lot cuz a map online only helps so much

it'll help you get comfortable knowing your way around

[bold kernel]

custom is a pain in the ass for me as a first wipe player. I learned streets and their rare spawns through scav rounds and can completly roam freely as a pmc now and easy extract most of the times

[versed grotto]

Alright much appreciated.
I'll give it a whirl, I'm confident where the extracts are on custom but it's far more combat heavier.

I'll have a go on streets and see what's what.

[vague forge]

BEAR or USEC ? I once read that Bear can also speak English. What exactly does "speaking" play a role in Tarkov?

[lost frost]

baer

[wind cypress]

Is there a map with item spawns and quest locations for ground zero? Don't have pro on map genie

[vagrant cargo]

i had that, did he change GPUs recently

[dusky prawn]

bear is russian, usec is american , also bear will get shot onsight by the rogues on lighthouse usec will still get shot but you have to be in their face first

[vague forge]

thank you my brother

[low merlin]

as a beginner you should choose usec, there is (nearly) no upside to picking bear

[lusty raptor]

i am not a rich man but whats the best thing to buy to store keys?

[austere hound]

Most efficient expansion for the money are docs cases

[lusty raptor]

ok ty

[austere hound]

Multiple. Do you have the workbench in your hideout?

Just checked and there's no way to do so until you hit flea at 15 or mechanic 2 at 20.

[low merlin]

yes, if you change the handguard

[austere hound]

The workbench wouldn't let you get it any sooner. It'd just let you easily see what attachments can go on your gun.

Look at the barter for the ump and try to save up for it. You can easily attach flashlights/lasers to it

[low merlin]

how far is your progression into the game, because if you are just at the start, you should not worry about adding specific stuff to your guns

yeah. Honestly, focus on progressing quests, your hideout and getting the level of your traders up. Dont worry about modding your guns at level 6.

[austere hound]

Just try focusing on hitting 15 first. Once you do, your options open up massively. That UMP barter I mentioned is good early on though. Easily moddable

[low merlin]

There is a high chance you will "die very fast" even if you add a flashlight

[austere hound]

The learning curve is brutal. Try focusing on how you can traverse whatever map you're playing safely/avoid high traffic locations

[low merlin]

Also, you said you are going night factory. If you are going manly factory you are playing THE pvp map.

So you will die even more play factory.

It is the map that is designed in a way that you spawn close to each other and kill/die at the spawn often. Other maps do not work like that. Again it is THE pvp map. People play it for pvp. There can be made an argument, that if you start on factory you will improve fast in regards to pvp, because you will get into pvp fast and often. But you will brutally die and the learning curve will be even harsher then on any other map.

I personally do not recommend it.

And on top you go night time factory, so you will (probably) only play vs advanced people. As a new player I would strictly advise you to not go into night time raids at level 6

The rule is (on average) there are less people in night time raids, but they have better gear.

[limber notch]

Other maps do kind of work like that

Just not as bad as factory

[vagrant cargo]

ahahahahah this armor is so bad now

[low merlin]

The only other map were spawns are placed so you can instantly shoot at other spawns is interchange. Sure, you can make the argument, that "knowing spawns is a base line pvp enabling mechanic" of tarkovs, and I would agree, but factory is on another level

[limber notch]

Customs and Reserve are worse than interchange

[low merlin]

I dont agree on customs, reserve only partly, but thats a 🤷‍♂️ discussion anyway

You do already know about quests right?

[limber notch]

Customs is know for its shitty spawns

It is THE shitty spawn map

[dry flint]

RESERVE WOULD LIKE A WORD WITH YOU

[limber notch]

Reserve is better than customs

But also bad

[dry flint]

bruh, reserve has spawns that can see each other 2 seconds into the raid

[limber notch]

Especially the bunker side under queen

I have not heard as many pol complain about reserve spawns as customs but yeah

Anyone that spawns on the hill can look down and snipe for free

Same with bunker spawns on near black pawn (?)

Well actually bunker spawns are all terrible

[low merlin]

The quest structure of the game, first brings you to Ground Zero, then Customs and Woods.

After you are done with the first quests on Ground Zero. I recommend playing woods or/and customs as your first maps. Woods is the easiest map in the entire game, the only thing about Woods is understanding were you spawned, if you mastered that, you are on a good way to master the map.
Customs is on the other hand is a lot easier to navigate but has more narrowing's on the map, making pvp more likely.
Woods is harder to navigate but easier to survive while customs is easier to navigate but harder to survive.

[solid topaz]

PvP is mostly in sawmill and USEC camp

[low merlin]

do you run to the central part of the map, the sawmill?

Also you said you had problems navigation Ground Zero, right?

[vagrant cargo]

really

i think both r really shit

[limber notch]

Reserve is a good map imo

[vagrant cargo]

i think it was a better map before underground

[vague forge]

good map for beginner ?

[vagrant cargo]

the one where u have quests to do

[low merlin]

if you have a second monitor, open a map of the map your running (from the wiki) it will help you massively

[low merlin]

#beginners-assistance message

it will help you with all future maps, but if you dont need it, you dont need it, but it is recommended

yes, its hard to navigate, alternate pmc and scav on it to learn it

but if you play it enough, you will exactly

know were you are

[versed grotto]

What's the ideal map for beginners?
Currently rotsting between Custom and Streets.
Custom I know where exfils are but definitely getting confused.

[low merlin]

there is no "ideal map" like that.
#beginners-assistance message

[versed grotto]

Thanks for the thread. I'll go through it mission logic. So ground zero amd so forth. Thank yku.

[icy steeple]

guys, is it possible to change the number of the quick swap of weapons? like for example change the pistol to number 3 instead of number 1. Is that possible?

got it, thanks

but it doesn't change the numbers on the layout tho

a bit confusing, but does the trick

[low merlin]

I have never spawned in nighttime factory alone, but I heared there are some server regions (like in Africa) were you can get zero people on the labs map, so maybe it could be possible, but not in the eu/asia/america regions is my guess

[slim radish]

so you can spawn alone in certain maps if there are no other people in queue?

[low merlin]

i mean yes, if there are no other people at all in queue, the game will put you in an empty server. But it just does not happen, if you dont play in these specific server areas.

[slim radish]

interesting

[low merlin]

if you want an "empty loby" you better just go with a 5man into factory

[slim radish]

yeah

wait rpd is 90k on prapor 3?

[grim nexus]

It happens

[dry flint]

yep but no sight mount

[grim nexus]

I have it on labs pretty often

It’s like 1-10/20 raids

[vagrant cargo]

it’s insane even with iron sights tho

rpd really be one of the best guns in the game rn

rpdn is insane

[slim radish]

once i reach prapor 3 im wiping factory

[vagrant cargo]

once i reach lvl 2 im wiping

[slim radish]

how so?
