am i dumb or is the car not here

[astral glen]

It doesn't always spawn

[raw wharf]

everything is flickering when i move it , is the server having some issues ?

[trail sierra]

fuck okay ty

[astral glen]

It only has 100% spawn rate on Ground Zero, Woods and Shoreline

[astral glen]

Please read my messages above.

[bleak jacinth]

What map app is this?

[raw wharf]

so its a common/known issue ?

[obtuse garden]

thats lighthouse

[astral glen]

The servers are having issues for the last couple of hours

[raw wharf]

ok

[astral glen]

You just have to wait for BSG to wake up and fix it

[obtuse garden]

or oh shit

its just a png i screen shotted my bad

[bleak jacinth]

Yeah im asking what application theyre viewing the map on

ooh ok lol

[nocturne moat]

whats with this new shit feature on streets

[astral glen]

The BTR?

[nocturne moat]

the 100% pussy in a corner rate

new feature sucks

[teal depot]

Oh weird but doesn’t that mean you get money and the item?

[teal depot]

Not really

[teal depot]

Ig it is what you make of it

[raw wharf]

ig i get the money if it was sold

[teal depot]

Hm

[bold kernel]

anybody wanna help me with some shoreline/reserve quests? wasn't on both of the maps before x)

[trail sierra]

interchange!

[bold kernel]

lf1 more for shoreline if anybody is interested LFG shoreline #10

[glass lantern]

anybody else's flea is bugged? cant seem to sell more after my items are sold unless i restart

[fathom tartan]

Imagine having access to flea

[bold kernel]

having it quite often yeah - most of the times happens when u remove items

[astral glen]

Read the pins in #eft-chat or #community-support

[cerulean pier]

Hello, is anyone able to help me with the extorshinist quest?

[raw wharf]

why is nobody using shotguns in labs lol its op af

[cunning plume]

why did my raid go from like 40 minutes to 10???

[trail sierra]

can anyone explain why it costs so much on flea compared to trader when this is behind it

[woeful spruce]

which key is it?keys that can spawn those batteries usually cost something as that battery is needed for a quest and is generally expensive

[woeful spruce]

there was a warning about this on #eft-announcements they installed some backend patch and the servers that were being updated reduced their match timers

[cunning plume]

gotcha

[random sinew]

just got the daily of extracgint from pier boat shoreline from 2 traders at the same time

[bold kernel]

anybody wanna help me with some shoreline/reserve quests? wasn't on both of the maps before x)

(it's my first wipe)

[trail sierra]

stonks

[bold kernel]

does leg meta actually work

[cerulean pier]

yes

[bold kernel]

or will I just get smoked before I can actually bust their legs

[cerulean pier]

no armor

[echo raft]

does anyone have a zabralo i could buy from them

[cerulean pier]

or just hit their eyes

[bold kernel]

I mean yeah but I could use any weapon for that

[trail sierra]

chat have i been banned?

[lost frost]

its an error

[bold kernel]

why do you think you've been banned

[trail sierra]

sarcasm

[indigo kayak]

if i turn my bitcoin farm off midway through its crafting will it reset the timer?

[raw wharf]

yes u either need a shotgun with 40 rpm or an smg with high fire rate + 30 round mag (minimum)

[gentle sun]

NO

[indigo kayak]

so if my fuel runs out in 6 hours, the 32hour timer will still be at 26?

[gentle sun]

yes

[indigo kayak]

how long does it take for 10 gpus? to make a bitcoin

i only have 7

[native wing]

is there a case for weapon parts?

[gentle sun]

only weapon case/normal item case

normally use rigs though

[native wing]

can store weapon parts?

[native wing]

same, but i hate it

[gentle sun]

well yeah

[crude anvil]

wack

i have tier 5 in it

yea ive been dying with tier 5 to a freakin ps to the thorax

turns out its bugged

[crude anvil]

idk im just used to quakemaker armpit from raiders

i just use whatever

gotta "link" them to a num key on ur keyboard

just like meds

[bold kernel]

I've literally never found a gpu

in tarkov

ever

I have 1000 hours

how do I find them

[crude anvil]

every other raid in labs

[idle onyx]

@ancient talon

[crude anvil]

pop a 3btg and loot the 50 pcs in those 3 dark offices

if no gpu still like 600k in wires

[bold kernel]

lol I don't go labs

too many cheaters

[versed valley]

Prob more in prime time, wires sell expensive af

[crude anvil]

not like the cheaters wont take ur gpus on any other map

labs is just easier to get them and extract

[versed valley]

I might need to finnaly learn labs, got 23 labs access cards i sold after unlocking flea and they just keep coming

[crude anvil]

and each reset takes like 3min

if u die its whatever

[crude anvil]

give

i used like 100

[bold kernel]

lol wtf this wipe?

I barely have 100 raids

[wicked shell]

Ive been playing all day ive completed zero task and have only extracted twice, im currently completely out of gear and money. Can someone show me a scav run or something so I can make some money and keep attempting to play.

[echo raft]

looking for a zabralo will pay millions

[gentle sun]

brah look at youtube for streets scav runs

[versed valley]

You cant drop cards no more

[versed valley]

I am only level 15 too

[bold kernel]

bro I'm level 15

[versed valley]

Otherwise i would share for the teachings

[crude anvil]

biggest pussy move u can do

[random sinew]

we do a little bit of trolling

[versed valley]

Cheese bag is funnier

[trail sierra]

bittcoin!

[trail sierra]

lolll

[young falcon]

saw some guy fill an entire pilgrim bag with one rouble notes and dropped it outside emercom on interchange lmao

[crude anvil]

People do this on labs

so whatever they pick up

goes right in their ass

[young falcon]

I ahould've done that tbh I couldn't get the yellow keycard I found in my ass in time

[trail sierra]

whats with the press armour?

[austere elk]

Scav shoreline, B line it for the village, loot al wooden crates, jackets, toolboxes and dbags there. Relatively low risk, I make around 300k from loot I sell to therapis alone + up to another 500k form keys etc

[random sinew]

wdym? you dont know the armor changes or what?

[trail sierra]

i know the armour changes but thought press was still bad

[random sinew]

firstly it was never bad

[trail sierra]

lol labadabadoo

[random sinew]

but now armors arent jsut their old level

[cosmic mantle]

why is yellow more expensive than violet?

[random sinew]

they have plates in them that can be changed

so he probably has t4 plates in that

until you run t5 the press and kirasa and probably the best armors you can run

[crude anvil]

yup im full addicted to labs

[austere elk]

Activate your Windows

[crude anvil]

no cuz i need to reset whole windows for it to remove it

[austere elk]

Huh, why. Just use cmd command to remove watermark

[crude anvil]

idc about it

transparent text

[indigo kayak]

That is the least worthy craft I have ever seen

Over 96hours. And just 1 part of the craft is more than the gpu itself

[dim mango]

Best low lv gun?

[fallow cosmos]

@dim mango 9mm is incredibly good right now so long as your aim can get you on the head, very low recoil and cheap options

[tall dust]

can someone help me with defective wall? i cant upgrade it

[lost frost]

wait

[tall dust]

just that? 😄

[lost frost]

basically

[astral merlin]

these salewa and iskras are hard to find

[tall dust]

thanks

[left summit]

does this mean i need to kill 3 in a row or what ?

[astral merlin]

yes

[cloud verge]

when does serve go offline

[left summit]

ight then this questline is over for me

[astral merlin]

not in a row just dont die

LMAO

[left summit]

[indigo kayak]

The small Ak from prapor Is good

[versed valley]

Can be in seperate raids

Used to be all in one raid but nikita's brain grew a braincell

[versed valley]

I use PP19 just because its so good looking

[left summit]

god damn

tarkov realy motivating me with that error

[lost frost]

or threatening you

[native zealot]

Is this like a Chad loudout

[versed valley]

Your gun doesnt have a magazine in it

And 3 45 vector mags is basicly like no ammo at all

[native zealot]

I'm not gonna use it

[versed valley]

And where meds

Nades

[native zealot]

I have pouch

Alr forgot nades

Recommend any?

F1?

[versed valley]

Rgd is lighter

The other russian fuse nade

Not the impacts

[distant wedge]

I think I should wipe the acc...

[astral glen]

My favourite is the M67 but it's probably a meme
They all have different pros and cons but you can't go wrong with an F1

[undone drum]

you should watch vids, how to get to roubles

[versed valley]

The other russian one is a ton lighter

[astral glen]

It's quite negligible anyway but yes, that would be one of the pros.

[autumn citrus]

I see darkness grow inside of me. It just asks me to run factory or dorms

[dim mango]

Can someone help me run woods? I need to find jagaer

[opal estuary]

Any one mind teaching me streets?

[dim mango]

I could throw some rubbles for any trouble ?

[bold kernel]

actually what helped me (first wipe for me) was running scav only on streets for a couple of days. I know the map perfect by now. Just try to get to the same spot from every spawn and u know it well x)

[opal estuary]

yeah i've been running every scav there now

[bold kernel]

ru new to the game aswell?

[solemn hazel]

what region are you moe?

[slim radish]

I guess i could, but no talking im currently sick

but not right now

[trail sierra]

what region?

[solemn hazel]

tis why i was asking as well rennie if he oce i could help xD but i cant connect to anywhere else

[trail sierra]

bruh quite literally its sooo bad

[solemn hazel]

you questin? or lootin on streets?

[opal estuary]

EU

[spiral elk]

how dose this work ? if i die in raid will it reset ? what if i die while the timer is on ?

[solemn hazel]

as long as you dont die within 30s of marking it, it wont reset

[quaint flicker]

you put the markers on the tankers and if you stay alive for 30s it counts as completed for that specific tanker but if you die or the marker gets destryoed/interrupted you have to mark that one again and you can do it in individual raids too and the survive can be done independent too

[spiral elk]

what if the timer is done but i die before extracting ?

[solemn hazel]

doesnt matter still counts

[quaint flicker]

it doesnt matter as much the tanker stays marked

[solemn hazel]

as long as you dont die for 30s after you place the marker

[spiral elk]

can people destroy it after the timer is done ?

[solemn hazel]

nope

thats what the timer is

[spiral elk]

k ty

[solemn hazel]

plus lets be real

who tf is going around wasting ammo on a marker

lmfao xD

[quaint flicker]

the bots.

[solemn hazel]

wait fr?

[quaint flicker]

which they did before

yes

[solemn hazel]

oh mb, this is second wipe, first im hearing about the bots destroying markers 🤣

[quaint flicker]

most dont know it since most clear the area as one should do

[solemn hazel]

wait when you say bots, i assume you mean scavs?

[quaint flicker]

yeah but no all bots so ai scav, bosses and goons

[solemn hazel]

ah shit aight, including mr sniper scav if he so choose to have a angle on the marker?

[quaint flicker]

the sniper is a bit more complicated since they usually shoot under certain conditions like LoS, audio, etc so most of the time they will priorities active shooting

[versed valley]

Its literally 2 times lighter... How is that negligable...

[solemn hazel]

Do scavs have the same principles as the sniper or is he unique in that aspect of audio and stuff?

[quaint flicker]

no depending on where you are there are different scavs but the roaming ones usually seek gunshots and go towards them while sniper scavs are mostly stationary and have slightly different priorities but audio is also included in there

im not 100% tho since i took a break from tarkov for some time but at least that was how it was before

[solemn hazel]

ok well that actually helps explain the "randomness" of scav movement to me

i may actually be able to predict them a bit easier

thankyou very much @quaint flicker

[quaint flicker]

no problem btw if you didnt know the longer you in the LoS of a scav the more accurate they become so slow lean and change the angle after a couple of seconds or get buckshot from 70m in the jaws by a random scav

[crimson wharf]

where would i go if i needed help with fps issues in tarkov?

[solemn hazel]

learnt that one the hard way a while ago xD

[solemn hazel]

what specs u got?

[quaint flicker]

technically here isnt a bad place to ask

[solemn hazel]

i can SS my settings and specs for ref if you want Arrow

i get about 100fps on streets

depending on part of map

[worn dove]

why is the kriss stock adapter selling for 200k?

[digital delta]

same, especially on woods, tarkov is so laggy on 2-4k and turning on nvidia dlss makes the graphics look super low res

[solemn hazel]

gunsmith quest i think?

[quaint flicker]

cuz the buffer tube with a stock is better than the factory stocks

[crimson wharf]

it's an Omen 5 gaming laptop. so i've got 16 gigs of ram, a RTX 3060, and for my CPU i have an AMD Ryzen 7

[solemn hazel]

probs the ram ngl

[digital delta]

i have 32gb ram

[solemn hazel]

wrong reply sory

[solemn hazel]

you may want more ram xD

[worn dove]

thanks

[solemn hazel]

tarkov eats 28gb of my 64

16 is gonna bottle neck hard on anything other then lowest settings

[versed valley]

16GB shared v/ram still runs streets

You can do with 16gb and a pagefile on a fast ssd

[solemn hazel]

True, i mean my 2080 super has accsess to 40Gb of ram total

[crimson wharf]

really? this is like my 4th wipe and this is the first time i've had consistent issues

[versed valley]

Ram is a ton slower than vram tho

[astral glen]

Because the F1 is 0.6 KG. The difference is smaller than 1KG: Negligible, not making a great difference

[solemn hazel]

Elaborte on the diffence in Vram and Phsical ram for me please?

[quaint flicker]

"ram is fodder for your cpu vram is fodder for your gpu"

[solemn hazel]

have you tried turning it on and off again? but fr i got no clue then

[crimson wharf]

i stopped playing for like a week due to a new job, and i would get like fps spikes here and there but usually i could do a reset and clear my cache and then the game would run fine for the rest of the day, but i've come back to the game and now i am getting consistent spikes down to like 20 fps even on factory

[quaint flicker]

thats how my friend explains that to any nontech friends of ours

[solemn hazel]

yeah but i want a techy version im intrested xD

[versed valley]

Vram is the gpu only ram that is hella fast and part of the gpu, but if it runs out it will use the "regular" ram which is a lot slower because of the ram itself and much longer circuit

[solemn hazel]

ahh, so distance is a factor then?

[versed valley]

That and speed

Because when it comes to ram your 2 main factors are speed and delay (ofc size too but thats obv)

[solemn hazel]

So normal ram runs at a lower speed then vram?

[versed valley]

Generally yes

[lost bronze]

Is there any experienced player from India online? Want to ask something regarding middleeast servers.

[solemn hazel]

and i assume that where the Timings in ram come in as well as frequency?

[crimson wharf]

from what my NVIDIA overlay is telling me it is a GPU issue, as the ussage spikes up to 99%, but if i am keeping an eye on it from my Task Manager it never spikes that high

[versed valley]

And vram is not replacable/addable unless you are crazy and solder some

[solemn hazel]

lmfao no ty i like my warrenty

[versed valley]

When it comes to gpu using the ram what matters more is the circut delay, but timings matter when cpu/system is using it which is the main use of ram

[versed valley]

Not even that, its just super hard and risky

[versed valley]

And speed matters a lot too

[solemn hazel]

thats what i mean, i aint even slightly knowledgable about it

[crimson wharf]

what could i do to troubleshoot what is going on?

[solemn hazel]

Try a few offline raids with different settings

see if you can find a easy fix

[trail sierra]

tried to climb off the roof without taking the stairs..

[versed valley]

However some devices have no vram and only have shared ram/vram which is used and optimised for use by both the gpu and cpu, that is most commonly used in consoles and sometimes laptops

[solemn hazel]

lmfaooooo, love it

[trail sierra]

made it to extract at least loll

[crimson wharf]

should i turn AMD FSR on?

[solemn hazel]

are there any work arounds aside for the good ol soldering to speed up the connection between GPU and Ram?

[solemn hazel]

Might help, as i said go into a offline raid and test

loading a whole map something like streets imo is a good test

if you can get stable frames on streets you can on other maps

[versed valley]

Do you play/have 1440p or 4k monitor?

[versed valley]

You cant speed it up by soldering what, you can solder more vram onto the gpu itself, other than that you can get faster ram but if you are struggling with vram you should focus on buying a gpu with more vram instead of improving the backup that is regular ram

[solemn hazel]

Whats a good middle ground between 2080 super and say a 4070? for tarkov, currently a I9-9900KF 3.60 base

[crimson wharf]

i play on 1080p

[versed valley]

Vram stands for video random access memory btw so its used only by the gpu

[solemn hazel]

and 64gb of 3000mhz ram

[solemn hazel]

ty xD

[versed valley]

Do you have a 1440p or better monitor tho?

[crimson wharf]

i don't believe so

[ocean tendon]

how do I know when wipe is

[versed valley]

I have no idea about the current component market as i wasnt keeping up to date with it for like 4 years now

[ocean tendon]

dumb question prob I know

[solemn hazel]

feel like running one or 2?

[solemn hazel]

fun part, you dont

[undone drum]

Late December and Late August, now you know

[crimson wharf]

usually around 6 months

[versed valley]

Around 5 months from now but its a bit random

[ocean tendon]

Ah alright

Thank you

[crimson wharf]

how do i usually check that?

[ocean tendon]

Go to settings in windows

Go to display, check the highest display ratio.

[crimson wharf]

1080p then

[ocean tendon]

There ya go mate

[versed valley]

You could go to video settings in eft and see if you can use ...x1440

[trail sierra]

lol going to bed now tomorrow if your free?

[versed valley]

Then i would not recommend using dlss/fsr unless your pc's gpu is super weak

[solemn hazel]

bet hmu man

[crimson wharf]

ahhh, i don't think where that is bottlenecking then

[solemn hazel]

so your saying ima get better FPS with it off?
xD

[ocean tendon]

@versed valley dlss is fake resolution that is streamed in upscale

Upscaled

Basically a fake 4k

[versed valley]

Dlss works best on at least 1440p monitors where your gpu cant actually run 1440p

[crimson wharf]

so based on my idiot brain, i am thinking it might be a RAM issue

[solemn hazel]

really xD

[versed valley]

Specs?

[civic perch]

I'm not a beginner but i need some help with the beginner ground zero tasks since i don't know the map at all and don't have any of the keys

[solemn hazel]

🙂

[split agate]

Ive done some of the quests what keys you need?

[solemn hazel]

no keys needed as far as im aware

aside from the one you get from scientist in raid

[crimson wharf]

Gekko just replied to when i posted them

[ocean tendon]

When someone’s ask if they are a scav in they say yes they team? Sorry English not very good

[civic perch]

I'm not sure, looked at some of the tasks on youtube. I'm literally level 2 so just need help finding the location for the different tasks

[split agate]

Yeah pretty much if you know someone else is a scav you just chill with them better to have 2 guys fighint the pmcs than one yk

[ocean tendon]

Ah alright

[versed valley]

Do you know how much vram?

[quaint flicker]

depends usually if we acknowledge that were both scavs we but nobody asks for teaming up then we usually go seperate ways dont just follow someone else without asking first just to be safe

[crimson wharf]

would that be under "Virtual Memory"?

[versed valley]

No

Vram is video memory

Video random access memory to be exact, it should be in the gpu tab in the task manager

[solemn hazel]

Dedicated is what your look for i believe

[crimson wharf]

6 GB then

[solemn hazel]

oh rip my pagefile

xD

oh wait im trippin, took SS of wrong pc xD but you get the point

[versed valley]

Vram is probably your bottleneck

Does your fps get worse the more raids you play?

[crimson wharf]

not really, it would usually be the first raid of the day, then i would get tired of it and reset my laptop and clear my cache. but now even when i do that i get really bad fps spikes

[gray wraith]

hey im new and was wonder if someone can help me?

[solemn hazel]

region?

[gray wraith]

Central US

[solemn hazel]

ripski no can do from me

[versed valley]

Might be eft agressively clearing vram resulting in need to load textures again, 6gb vram is very low for eft

[gray wraith]

darn, i keep gettign shredded and was wanting basically a coach lol

[crimson wharf]

any solution to that, other than upgrading of course

[solemn hazel]

i mean i could watch a stream of it and may point a few things out but as for playing cause im oce its rough to play na 9/10 times i get insta dcd

[gray wraith]

i can join you?

[solemn hazel]

do you have sub 200 ping to OCE?

[gray wraith]

not sure, i am in a hotel rn because of storm damage crew, how do i check?

[versed valley]

Lowering graphics, especially textures to medium, and restarting the game every or every other raid

[solemn hazel]

the change region button look for oce and see what it says ur ping is

[crimson wharf]

unfortunate news, graphics are already at medium

[solemn hazel]

if you cant click oce as a option means ping too high

[versed valley]

[solemn hazel]

Also @versed valley You got the cracked Euro internet? i want a SS of your server list xD

[gray wraith]

its at 236 😦

[solemn hazel]

sadge );

[rancid locust]

Anyone know where "Volcano" spot is on woods?

[crimson wharf]

huh?

[crimson wharf]

guess it's time to toss my laptop

[solemn hazel]

i can watch a stream in discord if that is of any use to you @gray wraith

[crimson wharf]

what map do you need help on?

[solemn hazel]

Hmmm sus, 2 ledxs already, i aint even seen 1 this wipe xD

[gray wraith]

i will rough it until i get back home. i can play any region at that point.

[crimson wharf]

streets?

[crude anvil]

labs xddd

[gray wraith]

any lol, im new new

[crude anvil]

i clipped them

[solemn hazel]

oh ok you sweat

[rancid locust]

It got described as east f USEC camp, across the road where convoy is. Some rock/hill with a dip in it (sort of like a crater?) I could just go around and explore it, but am not home atm 😅

[mighty spire]

Can someone make me a gun build?

[crimson wharf]

i mean there is a divot right there i guess, if you have the convoy behind you then there should be a hill with a rock and a stash to your right, and then USEC camp should be on your left

[solemn hazel]

what gun you want?

and high ergo or low recoil or both?

[mighty spire]

Both - assault rifle or dmr

I got 2/3 traders

[crimson wharf]

i mean i could help you out, if Gekko is down as well you could stream and then someone could actually SEE what you are seeing

[solemn hazel]

hmm something like a M4 would be fine then imo

[crimson wharf]

dont really need to build guns this wipe it feels like

[solemn hazel]

Ehh ergo is nice tho, and some guns still kick like a bitch first 2 buillets

[gray wraith]

ill stream, not sure how to use this discord

[solemn hazel]

LFG Begginerrs #19

[gray wraith]

headed there

[rancid locust]

Loving it. A lot more variety, no longer need to wait for higher lvl traders to get a decent gun (or spend lots of money on FM)

[west plover]

doing night reserve as a scav and I think someone is camping me at the bottom of a guard tower... advice? not responding on comms. assuming it's not a bot scav and also that cultists aren't present on reserve

[woeful osprey]

need help with corporate secrets I have the left building done. need the back I don't see how this mission is possible

[west plover]

best advice I can give is try #pvp-lfg and/or go very late in the raid

[crude anvil]

throw nade

[woeful osprey]

do I kill any rogues or hope someone else does it? I've genuinely tried 30 times every strat you can think of I either die to rogues doing BS things or player scavs camping the building

[crude anvil]

for voiceline

if not voiceline = pmc

[west plover]

yeah I tried right click nade 2x and no voice line. I'm sure they're still down there

[crude anvil]

prefire push

cant do much agianst rats

[versed valley]

Wut

[solemn hazel]

can you take a SS of you Region Selction list pwetty pwease? i wanna see if you got the OP internet

[west plover]

if you can get a 5 man stack somehow to do lighthouse for the task they might carry you or at least be meat shields... some people do clear the rogues etc but there's no guarantee obviously. I also don't know if rogues spawn later in the map like scavs or not

[versed valley]

Only EU servers, my internet is dogass

1MB/s and ~100ping on eu servers

[unique mantle]

What is the cracked eu net ?

[limber notch]

Is binaural audio finally worth using yet?

Getting tired of questioning where sounds are now

[west plover]

welcome to tarkov

[civic perch]

Can anyone guide me through Ground Zero? New map so i don't know where the tasks are...

[thorny snow]

for jager task to kill scavs with no "body armor", is it count as armor if you have the armored rig?

[versed valley]

Are you new to the game as a whole?

[versed valley]

Yes

[thorny snow]

Dzięki

[civic perch]

No, i've played the game since like 2021 but i didn't play last wipe so i just need some help figuring out the map

[spark plinth]

guys i have problems with gunsmith part 8, i do all what need but i cant give to mechanic

[woeful maple]

Did they nerfed 7.62x39 BP? Because i hit the guy 2 times and ALL damage was consumed by armor. Literally deal 0 damage now

[versed valley]

Armor is bugged

Hella bugged

Like it makes no god damn sense kind of bad

[woeful maple]

So right now there is no point in using BP ammo because it deals 0 damage anyways?

[solemn raptor]

oh, how's that?

[versed valley]

Sometimes it insta kills you after 1 shot of 556, sometimes it doesnt nothing, sometimes class 4 stops SNB....

[solemn raptor]

no. BP is the same as it's always been.

[versed valley]

Its all fed up

If you want consistancy its leg meta or headshots

[solemn raptor]

done a lot of testing with gigabeef. There are some armors that are very.. odd. Like the 6b23-1 somehow stops 50% of snb rounds although it's class 3, however the KA class 4 titan plate acts just how you'd expect it to. Seems to just be some very odd quirks of the system.

[solemn raptor]

headshots actually aren't consistent at all, they're maybe the least consistent thing we have now.

[versed valley]

Gigabeef my beloved (car medkit take is bad tho)

[solemn raptor]

?

[woeful maple]

Dealing 0 damage? Never saw that problem

Until this freaking raid

[solemn raptor]

I have shot SNB at class 3 armors dealing 0 damage. It just happens now, deal with it.

honestly the best advice I can give

[versed valley]

Again ammo is fine, armor is not

[versed valley]

Magnum buck meta

Your pmc when a pellet scrapes his armpit hair:

[solemn raptor]

uh.. yeah, good luck with that bud

[smoky plank]

Smash or pass?

[unique mantle]

Check if mag is “ak-12 old” it should be “ak-12”, check if tac device is the IR type and not the normal one

[flint crypt]

Yo, just have a quick question, does Scav Karma actually do anything? Right now, I'm at nearly 6 fence rep, 5.51 to be precise, but my scav still spawns in with utter garbage. I thought that at higher scav karma your scavs are supposed to be kittet, and full of Labs access cards, red flares and great ammo, I'm not having any of that.

[unique mantle]

Faster scav and scav case timers

Cheaper car extracts and more BTR storage spaces

[flint crypt]

I did notice that my car extracts only cost 2k now instead of 5, but is the rest rng? Because honestly, I hardly ever use the btr, nearly never play streets, and the maps I do play have inconsistent car extracts, so I was mearly grinding my fence rep for the better gear and the ammo.

[unique mantle]

No confirmed better gear, you just need it for LH keeper to unlock and thats all

[vale plinth]

every time i try to load into reserve as a scav the "awaiting session start" is just showing for like 30 minuts. is this normal and can i do enything to speed up the waiting time?

[flint spade]

you need to find/make a group before searching for a match, if you get someone in your group match making will be like 3 mins.

[obsidian zodiac]

think its the wrong laser/light its the 2IKS not 2p

[bold kernel]

You are right

It should be nvg one not normal

[knotty temple]

No bosses kill your on scavs

[bronze quail]

I keep dying and i play solo but it seems like every raid i play i run into a 2-4 man group and die every single time can anyone give me some advice

[versed valley]

1. Better scav gear
2. Shorter scav cooldowm
3. Shorter scav case cooldown
4. Cheaper car extracts and cheaper&better btr services
5. AI scavs more likely to follow orders

6+ bonuses:

• special menu with cheap items (items are much cheaper than on other vendors) that were left after raid ends
• ai scavs will now help you when someone attacks you
• ai bosses are friendly
• 30% fence discount

[worldly maple]

Hey so what loot should I be going for to sell for the best profit/space on ground zero? I've been focusing on computer parts like DVD drives and fans but I don't really know what I'm looking for

[fathom ocean]

dvd drives aren’t expensive at all

[bold kernel]

Tbh you should push tasks on ground zero after that never go to this map again

[mental musk]

Looking into computers for GPUS, there's a mission where you must find 2 weapons. The buildings they're located in also are full of loot boxes. But get your ground zero quests done & run scavs on shoreline/reserve. Avoid labs/streets due to people vacuum hacking

[worldly maple]

Which building for the loot boxes? (Thanks for the rapid replies)

[raw wharf]

what does the % mean

[mental musk]

I'm still newish myself, but it can mean many things. It's either their to use or not. It may cost money, it may need a flare

So it's a gamble

[spiral elk]

I JUST GOT FUCKING TARCOVED BY A SCAV

how can i cancel heal

[mental musk]

Spam left click

[bold kernel]

Nah he is on labs and on labs there are no extracts like this

[distant wedge]

I had this for 20 minutes, rebooted the game and clicked reconnected, but stuck again. Did I just lost my gear?

[spiral elk]

fucking hell i was just standing there looking at him while he shoved his shotgun down my thoat

[mental musk]

It's happening a lot, if you're on a Scav run chances are you'll lose the timer on it. Always alt f4 as quick as you can. And when you load the game up it'll ask if you want to reconnect or leav the raid. I would leave

Games very buggy for that stuff. Really infuriating

[versed valley]

It is a connection issue, the most reliable fix is using a different router/connection/provider and such, some less reliable fixes are turning off ipv6 and seting a fixed dns (use google's)

[distant wedge]

yeah, I got disconnected from server :/ pos

[mental musk]

Nah no need to do all that just to connect to a game of Tarkov. Switching providers etc is a waiting game and not instant. It's a well known issue

Even with gigafibre I have issues connecting sometimes and I need constant reliable and good connections for work, so it's deffo not always a provider issue

[versed valley]

Its not an issue of connection speed or stability

Simply server cant possibly reach a proper connection usually because of some IP issue

Which is why even just changing routers can help and thats what helped me

[distant wedge]

I'm not even doing that, as it may change with another update; this is first wipe in which I am constantly getting 120+ pings everywhere, which wasn't an issue in any previous wipe

so I guess just new tarkov servers don't like my isp, nothing I can do about that

[rigid grotto]

zb 14 key is good

you need it for a task aswell pretty sure

[limber notch]

ice cream cones

[obsidian zodiac]

i just killed someone who took a bag full of stuff into raid by accident the pain i feel for that guy

[fathom ocean]

are piranhas slugs or buckshot

[native kraken]

Buckshot

[fathom ocean]

good looks

[worldly maple]

Comtacs or that green helmet for Armour? I'd assume having something to stop me from getting insta downed but I see everyone running comtacs and I don't get why

[bold kernel]

Comtacs 2 are not good gonna tell you this

[native kraken]

Comtacts Increse hearing distance of enemy movement and actions

[distant wedge]

Does everybody in a raid get the same extraction set? Or can it be that somebody has different extracts available than me? PMC ofc

[worldly maple]

Comtacs 2 guessing thats a variant

[native kraken]

Yes, like woods, people who spawn on the out skirts side will have RAUF and UN, but if you spawn on then RUAF/UN side you get outskirts

[spiral elk]

yea yea fuck off

how

FUKCING BAIT

WTF

[bold kernel]

Well yea but don't worry bout comtacs 4 for now but tbh most people don't like contacts 2 but some do and you just need to find the headset you prefer overall there should be chart somewhere how much they increase heating distance

[edgy plover]

get absolutley skill diffed

[spiral elk]

YUP

fukcing ghosting through walls xD

[native kraken]

Should have canceled lmao

[versed valley]

Gssh are better than comtacs2's

[spiral elk]

when the ai closed the door i was relived

[bold kernel]

True I didn't say they aren't

[spiral elk]

yeah i didnt know how to cancel xD and i stopped trying to after the ai closed the door xD

[versed valley]

Comatacs4 were nerfed so now they are kinda bad for the price

[spiral elk]

DIDNT KNOW THEY ARE GHOSTS XD

[solemn raptor]

nerfed? how?

[versed valley]

Hearing distance

[bold kernel]

Bro ... Read his msg first before replying to mine, wasn't taking which are the best of worst or anything he asked a question I answered also comtacs 4 are still goated

[solemn raptor]

and where have you heard this? pun not intended

[bold kernel]

Lmao but yea they weren't

Idk what he is on

[solemn raptor]

I've tested it myself, they still far outreach anything else

[bold kernel]

Still the best headset there is

[versed valley]

I am not disputing you in either just adding on

[solemn raptor]

been running it for 18 concecutive raids now. I have an 18 survival streak now. I'd say they're working quite alright :)

[bold kernel]

Yea comtacs 4 work great and if you can just use them

[quasi basin]

how do you differentiate the good ammo with the bad? Reddit told me it’s the colored tips but even then, some of the good ammo doesn’t even have colored tips or they’re very hard to see

Also should I keep most of my junk with me when I’m first starting out? Or should I just sell them? (Junk like the rooster, gold chains, dr Luppo beans and stuff like that)

should I strive to do whatever quest there is? I’m a bit hesitant on them now that I saw a skier quest (one of the first) lower praprs rep by 0.5 and therapist by .2 (the kill 3 pmc’s with pistols quest)

That’s all, thank you :))

[native kraken]

EFT-ammo.com has all the ammo you need, and they have pics you can look at to distinguish good from bad ammo

[edgy plover]

eft-ammo for sure is the way

and all quests are good, stirrup is an exception that most people skip

[bold kernel]

Stirrup is really useless if you do not go for kappa

[solemn raptor]

if you truely want a deep understanding of how ammo works and what makes some good and other bad, call me and I'll explain everything. If you're not that interested in going in-depth, just listen to whatever the other guys here tell you :)

[quasi basin]

gotcha gotcha, thank you guys

[distant wedge]

worth dragging? or drop

[native kraken]

Werth

[distant wedge]

I know battery is for quest, but master?

[worldly maple]

Master sells decently if I remember right

[edgy plover]

Master isn't that heavy, but you should drop if you find something better

only like 20-30k

[distant wedge]

why can't I search it?

[shut kraken]

i queued up scav and ive loaded loot and synced with players but ive been stuck at awaiting session start for like 4 mins should i alt f4 my game? or will i load in eventually?

[worldly maple]

Is there a way to loot the safe in ground zero in that back office room without setting off the claymore

[native kraken]

Alt f4

[native kraken]

No

[worldly maple]

Well shit. Thanks tho!

[shut kraken]

dang it just sent me back to the main menu with a cd time 😦 but ty

guess i took too long to reload? or something

[native kraken]

No it’s bugged

[shut kraken]

oh dang alright ty o7

[versed valley]

Maybe sacrafice?

[wintry estuary]

is it worth to buy red rebel if i want to solo run reserve and lighthouse?

[thorn rose]

who knew that the tank kills you on streets?

[worldly maple]

the claymore it thirsts

[thorn rose]

just looked at me like yo wassup and just killed me

[native kraken]

Someone bought fire support

[slender talon]

best way to complete tarkov shooter part 4?

[left summit]

what does the % mean on car extracts ?

[versed valley]

its not a tank

[thorn rose]

but you know what i meant tho right?

dude shot me dead anyway

[versed valley]

40mm HEDP granades should actually penetrate it no problem

And rifles when shooting the roof

[formal sorrel]

does anyone else experience game freeze issues when using a 2x scope

[solemn raptor]

it's because the game renders 2 times. so the performance load on your computer is increased by a lot.

[formal sorrel]

im newer to the pc world, should i just lower my settings?

[solemn raptor]

give it a try and see what happens :)

[rigid wind]

i keep getting stuck in awaiting sessions start

how do i fix 🙂

[main violet]

where is the transfer button am i missing something?

[tight river]

My fps drops in game when I shoot I got a 5800x n 7700xt ?

[tidal lagoon]

restart game

[indigo wagon]

Just got access to flea and sold my blue tape key. I bought a bunch of hideout stuff I was missing to upgrade. What should I be looking to sell on flea? Weapons? Ammo? Mags?

[main violet]

everything you dont use you sell on flea market

[indigo wagon]

I can only list 2 things at a time though

[main violet]

yeah, once you hit 7.0 its 3 but the 2 is enough

[native kraken]

Sell popular,items

[indigo wagon]

Also when my listings sell they don't like clear out properly? Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong

Is there a list of popular items?

[native kraken]

Bug

[indigo wagon]

Is there a workaround to it?

Or is it happening to everyone

[main violet]

close game, go to game settings on launcher, clear cache, open logs folder ctrl + a delete everything

[indigo wagon]

Oh okay thanks

[main violet]

anything that has a high sell value. be careful though because it might be better off to trader for trader value for LL value

[velvet spire]

i just got the game back and i just tried to move the game to an ssd and when i did it now says that i have to repair the game files and its been at 0% for the past 5 mins have i done something wrong

[indigo wagon]

Launcher still thinks the game is located in the previous location

[main violet]

stop it, restart launcher try again. if nothing, try restarting your computer then trying again. if nothing, you can go press windows, type "cmd" make sure you select the option as open in administration and run the command "sfc /scannow" just without the quotations. if that doesnt find any corrupted files then you can try uninstalling the game completely and reinstalling. if that doesnt help try deleting all tarkov files for a clean reinstall.

[velvet spire]

i think i mightve figured something out

this did help tho ty @indigo wagon @main violet

[indigo wagon]

No worries. I would just reselect the install location to wherever you moved it and then repair. It should fix itself

[velvet spire]

lmao now it says invalid nickname nothing is working

nvm ToasterBong worked

[wicked shell]

Could someone help me make some money and complete these woods task? I havent been able to extract my last like 6 scav runs and probably my last 15 pmc runs which brought me down to 2k rubles and no gear.

[quasi basin]

Could someone explain be different ammo types to me please, I don’t really know much about guns in general and terms like

Subsonic
Hollow point
And other stuff are confusing to me. What is their purpose?

[marble barn]

how do i know which guns are good

[limber yarrow]

what's the best food to have?

[indigo wagon]

Do you get Scav rep as a PMC for the co op extract?

Worth attempting?

[devout river]

Do you mean in terms of cost/value ? because in raid you just eat everything you see 😄

[limber yarrow]

Yeah, cost value for post-raid eating

Same for drink

[split fossil]

whats the best way of getting xp

[devout river]

Questing

[indigo wagon]

What is it after 1st time?

[split fossil]

what if all my quests are too hard? whats the second best

[indigo wagon]

You get scav rep for vehicle exfils???

[devout river]

Murdering scavs i guess

[indigo wagon]

What quest is too hard?

[devout river]

But there is really no way around questing in the long run

[indigo wagon]

The only truly hard quest I found was the bronze pocket watch quest

That quest is actual cancer

[solemn raptor]

you'll get like... 3k xp max from just doing a normal raids. It's near hopeless if you want to actually get to a decently high level. Quests will quickly give you over 20k xp, it doesn't even compare.

[indigo wagon]

Go into 2nd floor dorms
die to people camping it for quest kills
Repeat ad naus

[split fossil]

im at a point where a lot of my quests are kill quests and i cant just watch yt vids to do it so they are taking me a while

[indigo wagon]

Skill issue ig. The scav kill quests are really quite easy. If it's woods just run the VPO or a Mosin

[devout river]

I honestly dont know. I personally mostly use water (which you can buy from therapist) or Aquamari (which you can buy or craft, relatively cheap for what it gives). For food i mostly just eat what i have left over. This gets less and less important as oyu level your metabolism skill i.e. the more you eat in raid

[indigo wagon]

I don't bring food or water into raids

You will likely find juice at some point that will be enough

[devout river]

his question was about effectiv food out of raid

[sturdy needle]

me when the

how to get operator role men

[devout river]

handy

[indigo wagon]

Just eat and drink any item you don't need for quests. You can check if you need that item via TarkovTracker

Oh interesting. Is it worth healing yourself via items for the heal XP?

[main violet]

whats this for, never seen it

[devout river]

It is kind of worth it. You get the exp and therapist is kind of expensive compared to a grizzly anyway

[main violet]

wtf

[mellow oar]

What r pros and cons of subsonic round ? What’s the point of using them ? Anything special ?

[main violet]

less noise

subsonic meaning it makes little to no noise

[mellow oar]

I read somewhere it barely makes less noise and the bullet drop off is super bad

[main violet]

i had thought so, atleast thats what lvndmark said back before wipe

[orchid isle]

not in game

[wild yarrow]

when i extract on a scav and i get exp does that go to my pmc? me and my friend just had a 1 hour debate abou this

[orchid isle]

no

scav is scav pmc is pmc @tiny orbit

right

[rigid adder]

is grouping still broken

[orchid isle]

You're legit my apprentice

1 hour debate is crazy

[mellow oar]

What’s the point of RIP rounds ? It has no penetration

[orchid isle]

Leg meta

[wild yarrow]

crazy how ive searched at least 1k file cabs and at least 400 pcs and havent found one flash drive

[mellow oar]

So it’s better to shoot for leg ? Will they die from leg shots ?

[orchid isle]

yea

flesh ammo you aim for legs

[mellow oar]

wtf why haven’t they added leg armor then ??

[orchid isle]

low pen high flesh rounds

[orchid isle]

i mean no need

[indigo wagon]

Can you buy the flash drives for the quest from Skier?

[orchid isle]

still faster to aim thorax with high pen ammo

[devout river]

no

[mellow oar]

Wym ? If there’s chest armor and head armor might as well arm and legs too very cool stuff

[indigo wagon]

Unfortunate

[orchid isle]

there is arm armor

[indigo wagon]

Are flash drives only in PCs?

[orchid isle]

and stomach armor that extends to top of legs

[indigo wagon]

Never seen GPUs or USBs in PCs

[orchid isle]

also where do you see ppl wearing leg armor irl itll hinder ur movement too mcuh

[devout river]

Not at all actually. Best to check the wiki for the details tho https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Secure_Flash_drive

[orchid isle]

unless you're these guys

[mellow oar]

But then why do people go for chest shots and not leg shots. Isn’t chest supposed to be more harmful than legs g

[orchid isle]

i bet those cant stop more than t2

[orchid isle]

theres a huge damage reduction

Hello, I'm from the EU and pretty much brand new to this game so I'm looking for a few people to run with that can teach me the ropes.

[random swallow]

Same here!

[austere hound]

Anything you take into raid loses FIR status

[indigo wagon]

Can someone help me understand armors?

I don't get why some have lvl 2 plates in front and lvl 4 plates in back. Can you swap them?

[devout river]

You can swap them but not front to back. You can only put front plates into front slots ...

[native wing]

Wheres a good place to find gun builds?

[indigo wagon]

Do people typically buy 4+ plates?

[native wing]

Other than youtube

[worldly rune]

Where does one find bolts?

Is there a better map than others?

[indigo wagon]

Toolboxes, jackets, file cabinets I think

[bitter radish]

Toolboxes are your friend. Interchange back of the goshen has like 8 of them, streets has millions upon millions(check construction site and under/in concordia) and in filing cabinets (also streets)

[worldly rune]

Ah ok so I just have terrible rng lol

Thanks

[indigo wagon]

Try factory

[bitter radish]

scav on streets and run through the toolbox rooms in concordia/construction

[indigo wagon]

There's some toolboxes below office extract and near the trucks

[bitter radish]

you can hit like 15+ toolboxes in 10 minutes on streets at concordia

[worldly rune]

That's where I've been going, just everything is looted before I get there

[indigo wagon]

Scav run or PMC?

[bitter radish]

I dont agree with doing factory for any specific items :p

[indigo wagon]

I like Factory

[bitter radish]

too much fighting and too high pop for loot to remain after regardless

[indigo wagon]

Everyone is typically really low $$ kits so go in there with a nicer kit and kill everyone. Free loot for ages

[worldly rune]

Scav

[indigo wagon]

Yeah factory can be really dry because of the amount of scav spawns

[worldly rune]

I've tried bot runs on factory to see how my kit is, I die every time

[hexed dirge]

night factory is fun, just kinda chill near your spawn and wait for scavs to cross your path 🤓

[worldly rune]

I'm probably just bad at the game lol

[hexed dirge]

how many hours you put in?

[indigo wagon]

Factory is a great place to figure PVP out

[worldly rune]

Uh

[indigo wagon]

I'm still pretty bad too

[worldly rune]

Idk a few hours of actual play time

[hexed dirge]

you’ll find it in the summary tab of your pmc

[indigo wagon]

But it's where I got my pistol PMC kills in 1 run

[worldly rune]

It says 30 hrs but that's mostly afk or sorting gear

[indigo wagon]

Yeah man just keep at it, it's a hard game

You're probably playing too fast/too loud. Try being quieter and waiting

[worldly rune]

I'm impatient lol

[hexed dirge]

factory is a great place to get pvp experience, but it’s also a huge money sink

[worldly rune]

But yeah that's prob it

[indigo wagon]

Just run it with a bank robber/idea rig and m9/glock

the loot you get out should pay for the rig

[hexed dirge]

yeah, i would recommend ground zero with a cheap pistol nobody wants and an armor

insurance will keep you a reliable low tier firearm coming back

glocks and m9s won’t come back, TT and makarov usually have a chance to

[worldly rune]

Also should I sell my loose ammo and extra heals, that's whats taking up like 1/2 of my stash

[opal estuary]

LF Help Background check

[hexed dirge]

i wouldn’t sell any ammo/meds

[worldly rune]

aight

[hexed dirge]

they’re going to burn faster than you think

[indigo wagon]

Is Glock/M9 really better than TT?

I just bought like 20 M9s to use on pistols run

[maiden perch]

Yes

good buy

[worldly rune]

Should I sell extra IV plates?

If I don't have armor to put them in

[native wing]

Anyone have a good place for gun builds?

[hexed dirge]

i find because of their degree of customization and familiarity with NA, they tend to go fast in my region

[native wing]

Looking for a good mid tier 762

[hexed dirge]

i wouldn’t sell armor either

[worldly rune]

My stash is full I'm just wondering what I should sell bc I have like 10 slots left lmao

[hexed dirge]

it’s a hard choice but i think you should try to win a raid before you worry about what to sell

[worldly rune]

Yeah fair

I got gear fear

Too afraid to go in on my own

Don't wanna lose my stuff

[hexed dirge]

losing your stuff is part of the fun

what’s really funny is the relationship you’re going to form with different parts of your gear

[maiden perch]

only if space is critical, level 4 plates are good, and will protect you decently.

[maiden perch]

everything besides achivments wipes in June\july

nothing matters, have fun 🙂

[worldly rune]

Aight

[maiden perch]

it does no good in your stash.

[tawdry widget]

Is Knight’s mask and body armor worth keeping till I’m lvl 15 to sell to flea or should I just sell them to traders

[bitter patio]

My skin is thick enough armor right?

[maiden perch]

Like when you use 'this trash setup' for a quick raid that will most likely end well and then go on to kill 4 players across 7 raids with it ....and live, yeah...yeah

[maiden perch]

Flea for sure, that stuff goes for a lot

[tawdry widget]

👍

[hexed dirge]

my favorite trash setup has gotta be the ppsh with a couple drum mags

it’s cheap and nobody really wants it so it always comes back

[bitter patio]

Wat abt a mp18

[hexed dirge]

not as likely to come back but it’s a solid main on woods

[bitter patio]

Ppl are gonna pick up a mp18???

[hexed dirge]

there’s A Lot of new players running around

[bitter patio]

Shi they can take the gun free of charge lmao

Not tryna reload my eay to victory

[hexed dirge]

me @ bolt actions

[maiden perch]

also a lot of people on setup

so maybe, but most likely not.

[hasty briar]

yessir

[crystal cairn]

Any advice in learning the streets?

[swift gust]

Focus on one area first trying to hold your angles and move fast towards that extract in that zone

[viral grail]

Yeah, and get ready to die

Like a lot

[crystal cairn]

I ran a bunch of offline raids to learn how to rotate around the map but when I hopped onto an online raid

I had trouble finding which spawn I was on and died due to confusion

Happened multiple times

[native wing]

says its compatible.... but i cant attach it 😦

https://i.imgur.com/H0KzJ30.png

[swift gust]

I have no evidence but this is maybe because streets was created with hardcore veterans in mind, human and AI snipers are a bitch there, maybe try and dominate entry level maps first

[crystal cairn]

I want to focus purely on money making in early raid. The map people told me that its the best is the streets. Have another suggestion?

[past crescent]

will it make the gun too big for where its at in your stash?

took me a bit to figure out that was causing issues for me

[maiden perch]

Scav streets if money is the goal, PMC other maps

then youll learn scav extracts, and movment and money area's for PMC quest eventually.

[tawdry maple]

can anyone please help me with this task it is bugged

https://medal.tv/games/escape-from-tarkov/clips/1POY6FGDq5_clV/d1337ZwEk36Y?invite=cr-MSxGQlksMTkxNzgxNTE4LA

i tryed doing it 2 times know and i cant pick it up

[autumn canopy]

is this worth doing?

[tawdry maple]

its colleagues part 2

[crystal cairn]

Is it really a good idea to rely on being able to carry bunch of loot only if you get a good backpack?

[tawdry maple]

yes you can make money and do task wile surviving

[maiden perch]

Find bags and use Rigs to get loot, focus on learning first.

Youll get good bags as Scav rep goes up (take Cars on PMC to make this faster)

[ashen needle]

Does anyone have any advice for someone whos new, has lost their starting weapons, and has 0 clue what they're doing?

[swift gust]

Definitely try interchange and switch between night and daytime raids, if money is goal and it should of you’re new, time is of the essence. Also run Factory as many times as possible as scav you will get clipped a lot but you will get used to heavy gunfights and will kill pmcs and will loot nice gear

[maiden perch]

let me put it this way - dying on PMC isnt making you any money 😉

[tawdry maple]

can anyone please help ?

[maiden perch]

Are you still on ground zero? Scav ground zero, learn the map.

Stop running everywhere, Running is 4x as loud as walking and that's before tactical headphones come into play, if your solo, your playing a stealth game.

[crystal cairn]

Sure but as far as i've heard from friends, people that got rich off grinding streets only ran pmc

[swift gust]

[maiden perch]

you can get rich of streets many ways.

How many hours your friends have before going to streets?

I also don't agree with money being the focus early wipe, but ive only got 6200 hours or whatever so what do I know.

[ashen needle]

Ooh, thanks! I found a video that said to learn Factory so I did that in offline and now trying to learn other maps and stay alive for the most part

[digital fulcrum]

Does anybody know at what levels quests get harder with better rewards? I know it does at 42or 46 but is there another milestone along the way?

[maiden perch]

god I hate that factory video.

Factory is a meat grinder, avoid it for a bit, ground zero, customs, then factory\woods

[olive crest]

Factory is not a good map it's mostly for quick PvP

[maiden perch]

46 I think is the last milestone

[crystal cairn]

I'm not trying to minmax the game or anything. Grinding for money and tasks seperately is the way I enjoy the game.

[digital fulcrum]

Is there another one earlier on?

Like low 30s or high 20s

[ashen needle]

Oh, alright then, I'll avoid factory until more confident in pvp. Which sort of speaking of, say I'm scavving, how can I tell that someone is a rogue scav as I keep getting jumped thinking they're not hostile?

[olive crest]

What do you mean "Rogue scav"? Do you mean rogues, real players, traitor scavs, pmcs?

[ashen needle]

Oh I thought they were called rogue scavs, I meant traitor scavs

[olive crest]

ahaha no worries thats why I wanted to clear it up. There's really no way to tell if someone is traitor scav except if AI starts shooting at them

Rogue is another AI similar to scavs in tarkov mostly found in lighthouse edit: lighthouse not reserve and labs

[maiden perch]

That's fine but money is more valuable with higher level traders. - if you have access to the flee, go look at the cost of some 30-40 round maginizes for some guns, traders sell them for 3-6K, market price is 30-60K that means leveling a trader up can be 10x cash value

[maiden perch]

several

[ashen needle]

The one, two, even 5 times I've needed an ai nearby just to let me know, god damnit xD

[indigo wagon]

tbh most PMCs in factory have absolute barebones kits trying to finish PVP quests

[olive crest]

It might help if you press F1 it does a scav voiceline to let others know you're a scav. PMCs usually will hear you anyway way before you hear them so don't worry too much about giving up your position

[austere hound]

100%. Spamming F1 is goated on scavs. I do it anytime I hear steps. Idc if I'm giving away my position. If they don't say anything back, I just assume they're a pmc

[toxic notch]

2 raids in a row

and i cant pick up sanitars surgical kit

[native wing]

duuhhhhhh thanks

[native wing]

nope actually thats not it

[indigo wagon]

Is there like a list of trader items that sell for more on flea?

[worldly kelp]

what things do i sell?

[indigo wagon]

I assume all trader lvl 3/4 items

[indigo wagon]

Sell water filter and metal parts on flea if you don't need them

[worldly kelp]

dont have flea yet

[austere hound]

Pretty much just BIS and gunsmith parts

Like rn the vector nfa is probably expensive

[indigo wagon]

use them to build hideout stuff

[ashen needle]

PMC's won't really care about shooting me even if I didn't press f1, right? It's only scavs that lose fence rep from what I've heard...?

[short elk]

Correct. PMCs will blast your scavvy ass

[indigo wagon]

PMCs will slaughter you as a scav unless you voice comm you want to do extract maybe

but even then I serious doubt

[ashen needle]

Brilliant in a "oh god" kinda way xD

[olive crest]

yeah scav to scav loses rep if they werent a traitor scav, scav to pmc however gives fence rep

[ashen needle]

For real? Kill PMC's as a scav and fence gives rep? That's actually nice 😄

[violet cairn]

Anyone experienced willing to guide my buddy and me in streets? We've never gone there and have a few quests, like audit and the delicious sausage, no idea what to do. Please dm me if you're up for it

[dusty spruce]

screw you, b1stro

[austere hound]

It's based on however many scavs they killed too unless they changed it this wipe

[sand snow]

anybody knows when people start making moonshine? should i hold onto my choco bars or no?

[austere hound]

It's ultimately your call. You can either make 15k now or 30k'ish later. It's really just a question of if you could use the money now or if you'll burn through enough/play enough that you'll need the money later

[limber notch]

(Excude the background audio) Can anyone explain what happened? I am so confused...

[indigo wagon]

How do you get flea rep

[limber notch]

every 50k you get for items sold is 0.01

[wicked shell]

Day 2 no luck extracting I just asked gen chat but does anyone have a way to make money without running into people? I havent even been able to extract with groups and im down to 1k rubles,

[minor dust]

could anyone help me out with tarkov graphic settings, I've been playing woods, and It keeps feeling like I'm looking at a mess of pixels.

[indigo wagon]

Probably playing too fast. Play some interchange scav runs. Try not to run around too much till 20~ min left

[indigo wagon]

I feel the same way. Visual clarity is 0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jGPa1sxk7I

[minor dust]

I don't know what to do I've been changing my settings, trying to understand what makes the game look a bit better... Nothing changes

[indigo wagon]

Maybe copy this

[indigo wagon]

Some of the postFX settings will change depending on your monitor settings

Make sure to tweak them till it looks good to you. You should be able to see when you're inside dark stores in interchange

[digital fulcrum]

I stood to the right of the shelf and looked up at it and it eventually gave its

[minor dust]

yeah postfx settings aren't really the problem, it's just that the vegetation (trees, grass) looks horrible ...

[hasty briar]

do you guys think he is cheater when he is running with some meta gun and prob altyn and i guess raid bag ?

[cobalt condor]

does anyone know where i cant find the factory exit key i need it for the bad rep evidence task

[bold kernel]

Does anyone think I should keep this key? I don't know Reserve that well

[hasty briar]

if you dont and you not gonna go open marked room then sell

but in that room there is really high value

maybe find someone who will run reserve with you

and you will get loot

idk if someone will do that

but maybe

[bold kernel]

Do colored labs cards still spawn?

[hasty briar]

of course

[bold kernel]

Or is it just guns and ammo cases

Oh word

[hasty briar]

oh in marked room no ?

sorry i was thinking you mean overall

in marked room there is no cards

only guns ammo cases and other cases i think and valuables

[night lava]

do flashlight increase hipfire accuracy like lasers do?

[hasty briar]

i think yes ? if i remember

[night lava]

ok thanks

[hasty briar]

remember i am not sure

[hasty briar]

@bold kernel

[bold kernel]

Oh cheers

[cobalt condor]

can someone tell me an easy way to complete the shortage task?

[icy terrace]

Hello people, I play duos with a friend hes using a standard account and we looked into stash upgrade on the hideout and we saw that to upgrade to stash lvl 4 you need 200,000 Euros, thats 31Million Roubles even if u have half, wich u wont have, its 15Million Roubles, isnt that like too much? I use eod since my third wipe ever and stash upgrades wasnt that relevant at the time but what do u think.

[raw wharf]

this guy cheating ?

[icy terrace]

I went reserve for that quest tho but I was lucky

[cobalt condor]

i will try that thanks

[fervent raft]

hard to tell, stats are normal but hours are wierd

[icy terrace]

Hm he might just be good tho, 76h but he could have a new account or smth, still sus tho but personally I wouldnt report him

[fervent raft]

he might have sold account and got a new one

theres a lot of people with normal stats and super low hours

its wierd

[raw wharf]

why would you want to sell your account ?

[fervent raft]

i have no clue

i just dont know what else it could be

[icy terrace]

People sell accounts with eod for more now

[short elk]

Considering EOD is no longer for sale I'm sure accounts are going for more than it originally cost. Cheaters will also buy regular accounts for the stats

[icy terrace]

And also he could be boosting or "helping" a friend

[tawdry maple]

what is the best way to get injectors for the tasks

[fervent raft]

samples?

[icy terrace]

Pure luck in medcases and general medical loot, unless u wanna go labs

[tawdry maple]

ye and the other one with the 10 keycards

[fervent raft]

depends on how new you are to the game

fastest way is by far labs

but other than that the 3btg and ahf1 is pure luck

like on a scav or something

[tawdry maple]

ok

[icy terrace]

That quest with the 10 keycards are 2 quests, One u cant kill sanitar because therapist asked u to, and the other is jaeger that asks u to kill sanitar, I personally kill sanitar because I cant give therapist the 10 keycards and the other stuff, its too much

[fervent raft]

i kill sanitar too

but the other one is smarter to do

[hasty briar]

i hate snipers on lighthouse

[icy terrace]

Coming by those items is hard and a grind, i prefer killing the boss and getting his loot

[fervent raft]

i just dont have the patience to scav all the time for keycards

[hasty briar]

bro i was in some mountains

and guy was just standing right there and killed me

[tawdry maple]

ye i know

[hasty briar]

like whats wrong with you

[fervent raft]

shooterborn mate

and punisher

lighthouse is super aids rn

[hasty briar]

that guy is ass

[fervent raft]

hes doing punisher

[icy terrace]

next time u know where to look for in those mountains

[tawdry maple]

i go the keycards i did the task last wipe i am just seeing if there is a better way to get the injectors

[hasty briar]

i was just runing throught mountains because i was thinking there is no people

and he jumpscarfed me

i mean i went only with pistol so

[fervent raft]

labs blackroom is by far the easiest

[icy terrace]

Going labs his by far the fastest if u have black keycard

[hasty briar]

but i was looting lighthouse and i got aug and green sniper

[icy terrace]

Man me and smeden like the same person

He's too fast at typing

[tawdry maple]

i might just see if someone can run labs with me maybe

[hasty briar]

and most expensive too

[fervent raft]

i can take you to black at some point tonight

but theres no survival guarantee

[hasty briar]

i would like too

i need 2 stims + i like runing labs

and this stims are easiest one so

[fervent raft]

we can try some time tonight

[hasty briar]

you mean like late late or something about 1h or 30 mins

[tawdry maple]

ima just do factory scavs

[fervent raft]

if you see your scav have john b glasses

please let me know before you load in

[hasty briar]

k

[fervent raft]

eh probably 2 hours

[hasty briar]

ummm

i might be there?

ping me when you gonna play k?

[low glade]

probably gets asked a lot but if I play with my mate till lvl 20 and dont do any ground zero tasks am I locked from doing everything else?

[short elk]

The tasks fail at level 20 and you're given the following tasks

Grinding to 20 without tasks though would literally be like smashing your nuts with a hammer
