if i reroll a weekly, does it refresh to 7 days?
timer stays the same
That's fair, I'm just curious about what it is you guys look for in your load outs, like what your playstyle is like and what is important to that
Can i hold more than 4 ledx in my PMC? The wiki says 4, but i have 5
is that in ur stash or in a raid
Stash
why?
to stop cheaters taking every type of an item, on the off chance more than 4 spawn
this is nuts
i bought one for 250k by accident 
whats the best food for junkie quest?
noob
hot rod
excatly. best budget rig
@here anyone willing to go into factory naked with me and let me cap you twice within 25m with a bolty?
Is there a pin or something for not being able to download the game? I keep getting crc checksum failures.
Which trader do you guys recommend getting to lvl 2 first?
So there is a wipe every half a year?
mechanic or prapor
actually no
peacekeeper
I mean there really isn't a choice
true
You get em when you get em
So I guess just do as many quests as I can until I reach the right level?
Pretty much
The first level though you might need to cheese the amount spent
But that's easy to do
what is a good kd for someone with 5k hours?\
Good is subjective but I'm at like 4k and I hover around 8-9
The game is more than a high kd so its really up to you
stats are indicative of skill tho?
like generally speaking wouldnt it be better to have teammates with higher kds than teammates with not higher kds?
hell no
why not?
kd just reflects your playstyle
if the kd is high the guy is not moving
thats just how it is
alright, thanks for the perspectives
what the fuck is ur name smeden
For some it is but at a glance it's all meaningless
Charles
Divorced
i thought so
and the dog?
Me too brother
still got the dog
thats all u need
damn right brother
๐ฆ ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ
lmao bro has LK too
yes xD
im bored as fuck
that sounds very smile
im only doing killa services
hes my boss
What is the point of sicc cases ? Why r they so useful ? What do u get out of putting them into ur safety pouch ?
holds keys, money coins tags
dogtags, keys, valuables
9 more slots than docs case, ability to store dog tags
What valuables ?
Is it worth using it ? Cuz I already have a key tool in my safety pouch
i think it is
9 more slots than key tool, much more options on what to put inside
Damn itโs worth so much. I got 12 mil tho
Is there any difference between tc-2000/bastion/achhc besides the price
if you don't wanna buy/barter for a docs case, you can push toward completing this task which will reward you with a free one https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Nostalgia
man dont buy it from flea
wait for barter
i
Oh ok. Iโm brand new to the game so idk how long that will take lmao
hey guys ๐ a friend just purchased the game (1 hr ago), money is gone from his bank account and on his profile it says "nothing, preorder now". can somebody maybe help? thanks in advance
have him read through this, worst case you'll have to email BSG support https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/support/knowledge/433
can i complete gunsmith part 3 with parts i can buy at level 1 traders?
I got this quest at level 7
I'm looking for UK/EU Players to play with - had the game a few weeks and really want to get stuck into it!
Send me a DM if your interested - Level 9 Currently
no
its been about 6 hours of the task search mission dm me if you can escort me there i wont bring anything because i lost it all doing this task
siccs are mostly for pvp chads so docs case is the better option
Lvl 4 here anyone wanna help me with early Quests? - Its hard starting late wipe!
Is there a way to turn usd of eur into roubles?
Ive lost about 10m worth of kits this week to hackers ive reported all and the game has toldm ethank you bla blah the hacker on reserve and ground zero was banned, wtf does this do for me? im not wanting to play because ive lost fucking everything and all my good kits to hackers
They need to give you compensation if you died in a lobby to a hacker like 1m atleast these are like 800k kits
yep
i have an antique axe as my melee if die do i lose it?
thank u!
on ur pmc rite
yes
Dose anyone have a taskloot chart i can use? Couldent find on when i googled it :/
So I played the entire wipe without headphones because it feels too intense for me. Just used them for the first time and still didn't hear the guy until he was 5 feet away from me, even with a sport headset. If I'm indoors can I not hear sound outside?
This is from a year ago, is it still good?
btw why do alot of players rotate their grenades and ammo in inventory? is there a use for it?
just ocd
they are ill
Sheef always does this, so think alot of people just do it cause of him, and also some people just have OCD so another reason why they do it.
your bullets were all impacting metal, that means that you were shooting at the wall
Where's a good spot to get bolt action kills from 80m?
Lvl 4 here anyone wanna help me with early Quests? - Its hard starting late wipe!
ill be damned
gat damn brother
sew it good pt 3 has been changed
back to being a preschool teacher
never played streets, can someone tell me where extracts for scav are
Better looking at the map bro
Iโm level 3
so people get annoyed lol
content creators probably do it to boost engagement and get people typing commenting how much it annoys them
Is there someone that can help me out with finding TNT at lighthouse? lvl 12 and keep dieing
Lvl 12 and raiding lighthouse Damn
oh my god
They changed sew it good part 3 but i cant give ragman the armor anyone knows why
I agree
oh it need to be found in raid fyi
anyone for some low lvl tasking?
good luck with that
i cant even get the harddrive out
what does a lvl 17 do in g zero ?
its fucking stupid
it should be looked to low levels only
it should be as soon as you unlock flea
iv been there for more than 10 raids for harddrtive extract ( with gear and without )
Was like that at the beginning of the wipe for a few days afaik
dunno why they reverted it
From my experience, waiting abit and being abit slower on that map kinda helps with getting stuff done there
i just full sent it everytime
i tried that too but people seem to camp extracts late game
Or that, if thatโs your playstyle
and when i full send i run into a geared pmc who wants to loot
cant do ground zero tasks because the map is too small and i get killed super fast. help?
Anyone available to help me do the most anoying task there is? I need to extract the bronze watch from Customs
go prone in a corner for 20 minutes
mk
I'm still learning myself @coarse tiger but I've found that staying out of the streets and using the underground as much as possible to travel gets me to my destination safely. Also no sprinting unless you're 100% sure no one is around.
mk
map is fine the issue is people have access to fea come there !! with a drum mag and good ammo and gear ! why ?? idk !!
I stopped dying when I stopped sprinting tbh.
and I'm brand new, level 7 first wipe
Does anyone have an estimate of how long it takes to run from one side of customs to another?
about 5-6 minutes I guess
Thanks
i am prone in a corner now
Are there lots of scavs on customs when there are about 10 minutes left?
might be some left indeed
Same
I'm waiting for everyone to leave
So I can do my tasks
In peace
What task on customs?
How do you guys plan on extracting w/ the car if you're sitting in a corner for 20 mins?
It's 114 I think
You do it next raid
I still have to do Prepors first task. Its freaking impossible
Might as well check, there's good loot in that room so someone else may have opened the door for you
if you get there late in the raid
The one on ground zero?
No the extracting of the watch from the truck
Ohh
I can get the watch but am killed every time I want to extract
Yeah that was hard for me aswell
I got lucky and found some guys with 5k hours in a raid
And they helped me get it and extract
Yeah I was hoping to find one in here
im trying to do the first quests on groundzero and the harddrive for saving the mole is not there. ive been first twice now
Extracting w/ the car on ground zero is the only quest I'm having issues with. It's either gone by the time I get there or I get fucked in a gunfight and can't risk running there haha.
I think it's always there
I got lucky and got a spawn very close to it and I just ran to it and got away
I did the task with a friend in the same raid
Yeah I was gonna say
I let someone else loot up the room first
then I went in and got the hdd
i didnt have the key
Same but there was a guy that was looting the key when we got there and we negotiated
He opened the door and we all left safely
Yeah sometimes VC works out for the best lol
So i've never watched anyone play this game, decided to watch shroud and he basically NEVER runs. When I play, I run until stam is gone then walk and run again
well its not
do i have to accept the quest or do another first or something?
You didn't accept the quest? @sacred mulch
Yeah walking/crouch-walking is what started saving me deaths.
I was getting the jump on people because I could hear them first.
Do a night raid
But on certain maps that strategy is impossible
Just found a GPU should i sell it or save it for farming part 4?
I feel like it's possible on any map once you learn it well enough.
Just probably rough to do in the beginning
@jagged laurel save it and use it until you decide
I say save. Its not common
You can see in night raids, but just be careful of pmcs with nvgs
is Farming required for kappa?
not really, most of them have left
They most likely left
Perfect
Player scavs could be out tho
Loads of player scavs aswell, but most of them are around fortress, Dorms and maybe crack house + big red
yes
i sat in a corner and a pmc walked in WITH NO NOISE and shot me. these ground zero missions are impossible
sit in a different corner
The Escape From Tarkovโข Experience
why didnt i hear footsteps tho?
i cant find anywhre to accept it like any other quest
but you can see the quest there?
I'm relatively new played a bit last wipe and have been grinding this wipe was wondering if anyone can help me with cultist part 2 on the bloody key room and dorms 314 marked room
yea
hold on
You can't accept the quest or find the hard drive?
What happens when you press this?
guess im blind lmfao, they moved that button tho no?
Been there since this wipe ๐
yea thats why
and last iirc
im still blind tho thanks so much
mechanic
Mechanic after gunsmith 1 iirc
farming
money is easy to get, items arent
yea bascially every quest is
Peackeeper lvl 2, Mechanic lvl 2 after completing Gunsmith part 7
oop, wrong reply ๐
Forgot about that one
just got this i can sell it for 40k
but is it worth more on the market once i hit lvl 16
15
It's not
abt that much normally
no
thank you to the pmc on Ground zero ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
my friend got extract camped with less than a minute left by a lvl 42
so anythings possible
Haha
best way to judge if a raid is empty of pmcs is by listening for gunfire
Too late for that aswell
if youve heard nothing for 30 minutes, it's probably empty or the last few people are ratting/hiding
i got destroyed by a guy with thermals
your never safe in tarky
LF Someone to help me on woods
i got the spawn next to the long hallway that goes towards gate 3, i waited like 10 minutes and did not hear anything so i decided to slowly crouch walk towards the place where i have to stash the package, got there and started placing it and i just heard somebody running on broken glass and i got hit with 30 bullets
the game is full of 3000k hour players who do nothing than exfill camp. Sad for those who have to do their tasks at level 15
we know
I am surprised that people have time for this
they are 87 year old men
i don't think i would be as patient as them if i was 87 years old
they have a 3.5 second reaction time
and sometimes i still die to them
i be beating my meat at the extract and they just pop up like a wack a mole
would you spare me if i begged?
will dangerous road complete if I get a runthrough?
yes
thank you
we'll test that out right now then
we'll have to see
anyone know the best area to play in for a begginer
streets have a ton of loot everywhere and are fairly easy to learn imo
I recommend not playing at all
customs would be great but they're filled with shotgun rats trying to do setup
Saves your mental health
every map is pretty easy its just hard to grow the balls to learn
except lighthouse
dont go to lighthouse
first map i ever tried was intercharge and i got jumpscared by a guy in a truck
now i am scared to go there
so i learned woods
my first experience with interchange ended with me looting some random ass crate
got it ๐
and then killa cut me in half with ppbs
thanks
What lvl5 armor plate can i put in the back plate slot for Defender-2 body armor?
can anyone help me do golden swag on customs been trying for hours just on a bad luck streak keep getting merked
linked search the armor and it tells u all plates that fit
how do u get better puches, other than buying the other versions of the game
pouches*
through quests
Ahh okay thanks
You can also barter for a 3x2 one once you get Peacekeeper lvl 2
the only options you have are a barter for a 3x2 at peacekeeper lvl 2 (for around a mil) and 4x2 that you get by completing punisher part 6
Anyone got any advice for finishing the ground zero tasks?? these things are actually kicking my ass
u can either bum rush them super hard or camp rly long into raid but then u gotta fight pscavs
up to you rly
man bum rushing isnโt working these spawns are so shit I swear, iโll probably get a couple buddies and gear up to fight player scavs late in the raid
car extract mission just seems like pure RNG getting a good spawn tho
which one is better
the one that doesnโt have 45 durability trust me
its basically the same thing
anyone know how to get out of the shoreline gas station?
wym? are you stuck?
is that the one that has a fire inside by the water?
yeah
based on a yt video I'm watching, you can't get out now because of the way the fire hitboxes work now. you could put the intel in your secure container and use it for your hideout eventually though
gotcha
check pm
guys what does the wine that prapor wants look like
looks very similar to all the other bottles inside that store
bruh
why does my game look so blurry and pixelated? it only seems to be like this on labs
HOLY FUCK I GOT OUT
lol
check wiki, it has the possible locations for them https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Luxurious_Life#First_spawn
only one person can use the keycard saferoom extract on interchange right?
thanks, found it and got out
nice
anyone tryna help me with search misison?
try #pvp-lfg
if you don't find anyone, pull up a map... and hide til the last 15 mins or so of raid, then try going
might be a little hard on woods though, might get lost if you don't know your way
should i craft the grenade case?
It's a good way to recycle your empty metal fuels for money
๐
any1 got recomndations for learning streets or where the best loot is?
Infinitely
lexos relaxation school, there are lots of spawns close to lexos and as long as kaban isnt there if you get there first there is tons of loot
i also run abandoned factory the key is sub 1 mil i believe so its a good investment after you get familiar with the map
ive gotten 2 bitcoin tons of figures pro kills full medbox of stims and so much like labs cards and intel from filling cabinets
there are also little med shops and jewel shops that have nice spawns
this is the easiest way and took me about 5 - 7 hours to learn and after this you should be quite familiar with streets to do more complicated runs multiplying your income
Imo fence quest are not worth it
I'm thinking maybe check factory office for my factory scav runs, but yeah, I probably wouldn't go out of my way with this one
why the fuck cant my friend drop me a measuring tape what is this game
reserve and camp extracts
What can I do to improve my hearing in game I feel I dont hear anything until its right on me
headsets
Besides headsets lol
hearing aids
oh alright thanks
some headsets are better than others, but idk.. I think tarkov sound is kinda bad anyway. You could turn up your overall sound but then you might damage your hearing lol
uh. nothung
I think a lot of people play with sound too loud
ya it almost makes me miss hunt showdown. almost...
hunt showdown is a snoozer in 6 star
So no EQ settings no hidden trick just hearing aids got it lol
cant play it anymore
i wouldnt use eq
there's too many cheaters on hunt now. beautiful game but it won't be fixed. at least in tarky I can put stuff in my secure container and still progress my hideout if I get beamed
Should I try turning surround off
oh reminds me if another game
lol
are u using surround sound lol
do not use surround sound on any video game ever
yeah logitech pro x wireless has surround
i found the issue
Now were getting somewhere
tarkov sound is kind of inconsistent and bad... idk that you can really do a lot more tbh
use stereo
so iirc this may help
but it depends on your headphones
do you have binaral audio on?
No I do not
turn it on
Will do
True, i'll go through some practice raids on factory and see what works best and ill lyk
pick one headset and use it consistently so you get muscle memory. tactical sport is probably the most cost effective
whenever i reload a mosin it goes to 4/5 and the last one just falls on the ground. any idea why this happens?
because the 5/5 bullet is the one in the chamber
so how do i get it in the chamber?
it's already in there
oh
it's a lil confusing ik
thx :)
it falls on the ground cause you're unloading a bullet and putting a new one in
https://medal.tv/games/escape-from-tarkov/clips/1SrE4aYv1yBlEv/d1337o1YQkbp?invite=cr-MSxSN3EsODE4NTgyNTAs how did this happen? I thought extracts aren't close to you
Watch Untitled and millions of other Escape From Tarkov videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
also what does a run through do?
Should i turn on mip streaming?
That extract is always open
Basically counts as a death, but you keep all your items. All FIR items turn into non-FIR
run through means everything you picked up is no longer fir
ok thank you guys
Welp hit my first million today and immediately burned it up on a scav junk box, got 50k to my name and some loose gear, hit me with your cheapest loadout
can item cases go in a thicc item case?
Double barrel and a dream
Can anybody help me with the starter missions on ground zero?
Fair enough
yea
can anyone help me on lighthouse with quests? I have Seaside Vacation, Corp Secrets, and Broadcast P1. I don't know the map and really need help
i have b4 but iv only ever found people when asking in here tbh xD can try again though~
yeah tbh I think it's a hard map
Where can I claim my Scav Raid Loot?
at the end of the raid you can put it into your inventory
after you leave the scav raid when it pulls up your stash and the scavs kit
are ya playing on lighthouse?
are you tasking?
What level are you
1
I can help you out, can you play EU?
no im na
Sucks
ya but thanks ๐
๐
what specifically are you trying to do?
general advice I can give is to go around the edges of the map... and if it's a high risk area, go during the last 15mins of raid
I dont think Im cut out for this game. The grind is killin me.
honestly idk if i just got my first extract by tricking the guy or if he legit was okay with extracting w me on ground zero so i feel you
keep goin
yo im new too, only got a few games in but ima keep trying that first out was pretty sweet im hoping to keep that going somehow
I swear every wipe they add more and more quests making the grind bigger
I hope they add more
'boutta finish this shit ๐ฏ
they do
more quest also means more exp tho
guys question
sew it good part 3
how do u get the below 50%
neck plate is impossible to hit
im pretty sure you can just take your plates out and it works
might be a bug, but thats how i did it
i did it today
if you look it up on wiki it says found in raid
so durability dont matter?
what should sell?
im pretty sure yeah
okay appreciate it
bitcoins and wires
sell that bitcoin
or idk if you need wires for hideout
wires?
okay
u can sell everything else
tahnk yu
what should i sell?
thank you
forgot u need it for hideout
is there another use for those? i already have intel lvl 3
Sell the bitcoin? ๐
Why not save it for the weapon case?
can you read what i wrote again, please
Shit or not it saves space, I need all the space I can get as a standard player
Okay, my bad with the pfilter
But I still stand on the bitcoin
tbh he can sell everything that is not need for quest or found in raid and buy it again for flea rep
by the time you unlock the weapon case barter youll have a bitcoin farm up and running anyway
sew it good part 3 was fixed today but on my screen it wasn't i still had to find the Zabralo so he dropped me his. Then it didn't let me and hand it in so i re launched my game and it has changed to the new version will i get RMT ban i deleted the item after ?
our mate said we would get a ban
no lol
That barter is not good your wasting money sell the bitcoins and get another barter
rmt bans are usually instant
??
There are 4 bartters for the weapon case bitcoin one is the most expensive
I got 2 tank batteries FIR how many i need for quests?
pretty sure you can. but best way to find em is just lucky
how do I turn the laser off on a TT pistol?
T its all tactical attatchments
it's still staying on unfortunately
check keybindings
its a permanent laser built into the pistol grip
yeah figures... I just put it in my backpack so it doesn't give me away
so its just a 100% garentee to get instantky shot in the head by your team mates if you accept random invts?
yep
fun
ok thannk you
if anyone team kills u there, record and report
if anyone need any help with early game lemme know. (cant do ground zero)
does anyone want to help me make money iโm fairly new i just donโt know extracts
sure
omw gimme a few minutes
wanted to clear space for a scav run accidently loaded a pmc run ๐ฆ
you joining or not?
yea my pc updating
lol
what's up with those textures?!
so i know the mutant is the best 7.62 ak, but what would be the 2nd/3rd best options ?
bad fps
no like... those are worse than the lowest graphics options
no idea ๐ then i just lowered them maybe rendering issue
I'd love to have those graphics, I'm running as dirt low graphics as possible and still struggling haha
imma send u in dm my graphics settings if you would love to but it will take like 10 min i am in streets with no weapon ๐
don't worry about it. If you haven't gone and messed with some file structure stuff I know why your game looked like that :)
just need some assistance on the ground zero tasks msg me
Just got a cottage back door key from my scav. its worth 670k. should I keep or sell it
needed for a quest later. u could keep and use it or sell and find one later
what level does that quest come up? ive never got past level 25 lol
Itโs around lvl 25-27
ty
Np
is there no food storage containers?
holodilnik
is it on flea market?
jaeger 3 only
dang
I just died to an AI scav named Kucha. Is that a boss? I googled tarkov kucha and nothing came up. This was on streets of tarkov.
Where on streets?
Just north of Sewer River in a building that is hugging the eastern border of the map.
boarder sniper?
He didn't look particularly geared and I only did ~150 damage to him (my gun got blocked by the wall). I just assumed scavs with one name were bosses.
Nah he was inside the building on the first floor. I just got greedy and held my peak while my gun got blocked. Dumb play.
might've just been a player
Nah 100% scav. Didn't have the little triangle icon in the death screen that players (and player scavs) have that let you check their profile.
maybe you just died to a normal scav
maybe a randomly generated name idk. screenshot it if it happens again
@solemn raptor Yes?
Watch stand together and kill kaban and millions of other Escape From Tarkov videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
need help completing task second wipe and still learning
i need help
that's a close one haha.
You'll notice at longer distance that if you're leaning while shooting the bullet will tag towards whichever way you're aleaning. As you're leaning left the bullet will travel more towards the left (caused by how the sight is set up to intercept with the bullet trajectory). If you did this same shot at longer range you'd more than likely have missed.
But good aim though!
However.... guy is already looking at you. This very much is still a gamble on your behalf, and so even though you made quick work of it, you have made mistakes leading up to this point.
My friend died outta nowhere so I skidaddled, but realized the guy was on the rock when I was out in the open. So I decided to try and confuse him by peeking behind those 2 trees pre-aiming
The dude on the rock had a DVL-10 with M62. He was level 49
Got headshot while looting him but luckily came out alive.
I did what you said, dip when you have a disadvantage. I left because I had no idea where I got shot from and the dude was probably watching me the entire time so I didn't take my chances.
smart.
2 kills + quest complete but almost no looting happened because it was so fast-paced. I'm happy though.
you should be :)
Is this a nice kit? Should I be changing something or adding something?
Running grizzly just because.
Kit for my friend, otherwise yeah.
Why not just use the grizzly for heavy bleeds too?
Slow use time
It has saved my life many times
But itโs not needed
I see, I'll buy one.
But like itโs 11k and if that can save your life then I would def go for it
this is what you should be running.

No scope thatโs interesting
crazy low weight. Very snappy and extreamly long arm stam
well... yeah, put a scope on :)
also get rid of the melee, you're not going to need that. Unless you're planning on making some firewood
I be Minecrafting fr fr
Ik dw just trolling
clip form of you miss 100% of the shots you dont take
Yeah so you can have space for red rebel
Why that suppressor? What's the difference?
pure instinct
thunderbeast, it's super light weight
Probably also ergonomics
wasn't my intention.
Does it have better ergo?
No grip also, why?
eh.. not really
ACIS has no grip possiblity
Hm
@cold flower but it's still the best :/
Itโs best with grip in my opinion
But itโs really personal preference
Does weight affect aim and like movement?
mm.. not really
Does weight affect arm stamina? Does holding breath too? I have so many questions honestly.
I would say so but itโs all good if you think your setup is best as it probably is the best for you ๐
weight is actually what dictates ADS speed, ergo is simply a modifier.
What do you mean with movement?
- yes
- no
5.25
Hi there looking for help to play
ps12b all the way
Flechete
wait..
When you like wiggle your mouse and your gun follows your mouse slowly, does weight affect that?
Lmao
@bold kernel sorry, don't listen to me, I was thinking 12.7 haha
Itโs morning dw
no like... you really can't get it better than what I have there. Other than recoil it's minmaxed.
if anything that would be affected by total character weight, not weapon weight.
5.25 is how I did all my shotgun tasks
Super cheap, spammable, long headshot range
Gigabeef did a vid on it
No I get that but some people like to have more ergo
More faceshields these days so going for legs can be a good choice too
uhm... why?
Magnum buck
Thanks for answers. I have more questions.
How are you sure when to loot after killing a dude?
Should you crouch and look down to the opposite side of the open area to not get neck shot but chest shot or lay down?
Bc bush ratting ๐ซถ
no, for real, why?
Rotate around and check
For among down sights longer and for close range pvp
depends on the situation
Iโm a little odd like that
laying down is usually appropriate
True
How far though? I wanna main woods but woods is too big/open to rotate around like that.
bodies are eyecatchers
Nah and I would always wait a bit bc usually one of them rushes when their mate dies as their coms can get bad
i mean after a fight
Take smoke grenades into raid
Surprisingly effective
Like maybe a good 2 nade throws to the right and then 2 straight
True
If there's even a slight chance of me dying when looting I don't loot.
My mentality is very much that you can loot any house and get more value than you would by looting a PMC, so there's no point in risking your life.
If you see that someone has something spicy that you really want, then I'd do every precaution to make sure you won't get sniped. Take a walk through the terrain to check spots, and use the "stick smoke grenade" to cover you while looting.
I will always carry 1 stick, 2 M18s and 2 frags.
I will always lay down to minimize the chance of getting spotted, as well as for the chance of them to shoot the dead guy instead of me.
Oh yeah then your 100% right
?
If you're talking about ADS speed, then you need to realise that ergo is not what alone decides ADS speed.
exactly, living is more important than any loot
100%
I know but itโs still a factor Iโm not saying the weight isnโt also important
Yeah it always is
No real point in discussing this, as the correct answer is literally right here:

Thank you, what about questing? My friend keeps telling me to just get the hell out when you have a single quest complete. Am I doing wrong for greeding for another quest at the same time?
I got punished the other day for it.
Also, when do I hard peek something while out in the open? Is it smart to even hard peek?
Btw I would never W key it on woods itโs always good to stay tactical and be a bit ratty
Man itโs ok that you have perfect stats but I just have my personal preference and donโt really go for perfect as itโs usually very overpriced
I mean, that's a decision you have to make in whatever situation you're in. I really can't tell you either or here regarding what to do for questing.
"hard peak"? not sure what that means sorry
I will gladly teach you woods after my classes are done later today ๐ช
Scoped in till the guy peeks = hard peeking (CS terms or something, I got it from somewhere when I playing other FPS games)
Hell yeah.
I would maybe hold a bit with aiming all the time as you might run out of the blue stam bar and then you can aim for a bit and thatโs usually why they wait with peeking
I added you
I see.
so, your personal preference is to do something that is objectively worse? that's a... bit odd.
And the "perfect" mods actually aren't that expensive, because there are nearly nobody who actually knows how ergo and weight truely works. In fact... that calculator that I made is to my knowledge the only one to ever describe how ergo and weight are related.
Iโm off at 15.35 and probably home around 16.15
Well yeah it is bc I run more low priced kits when I go woods
seems like you're working off of a "duelling" scenario here. As in waiting for the guy to peak you.
I would almost always disengage in this situation and disappear.
Do you understand how ergo and weight works?
Peekers advantage?
I do
you're going to get yourself killed. At some point.
I'd very much like to know your explanation then, because it doesn't seem like you really know.
I gtg @solemn raptor you are right I just run budget
@cold flower how come you're so set on going woods?
Hmm, it's my first map. My friend had me run woods.
you.. haven't played anything else?
My second main is factory, as I ran it like 300 raids long only for pvp to learn movement and gun fights.
Maps I've completely memorized are, woods, shoreline, factory, reserve
And maps I've sort of memorized are interchange and lighthouse.
I have played labs once, killed 1 dude out of a duo then got killed by a chad trio (they were using igolnik as ammunition) ๐
Streets, I played a few times out of necessity of quests.
mmm...
imo, memorizing maps... is stupid.
Eh, by memorizing I mean I can navigate freely through them.
Keys and shit, I'm completely clueless.
see, I can freely navigate through any map.
I knew my way perfectly around ground zero without ever stepping foot on it.

It's my first wipe
even more the reason to start doing things right.
I didn't know shit when I went into a map. I would load, walk, die.
#pvp-lfg to help me run through some missions, i'm just getting wrecked atm, can't win a single fight. need help lol
@cold flower How do you think I do this ^?
Would you mind posting a picture of your equipment setup?
Look around and learn? How else?
never stepped foot there
never played the map before...
Hmm..
Same way any tourist can make their way around a large city, through all the small streets etc. to get to their deistinations.
It's called a map.
That was the most obvious thing, but I don't wanna use a map 24/7
I want to be able to go a place without having to stop, look, and continue.
I prefer sequencing to mapping
I've got multiple hundred hours on ever map in tarkov, yet I will use maps A LOT.
if you want to go brainlessly through a map on autopilot... be my guest.
because that's what's going to happen.
whether you like it or not.
honestly its fairly random, nothing really consistant atm. floating below / above 1mil rupels, it's mostly needing keys i can't afford to buy
How?
once you use a map for a few raids youll learn where loot is
it's what happens to everyone, even myself.
not the point.
what is the point sorry
What kind of brainlessness? Missing out on loot? Getting side tracked?
What's the issue?
only read a few bits
is your point planning a route on a map before going into raid? "ill go here, here and here"?
autopilot.
You will just go on autopilot, fight on autopilot.
There's very few people who actually have their brain connected when playing tarkov.
I fight people, but it's not really people, they're more like advanced Ai.
People don't use their brain in tarkov...
Hmm..
yeah, part of it.
Having the map open will equally open your eyes to the possibilites you have.
I don't know how long you played, but a good tip is to make a standard setup that is your goto. If you stock up on a couple of those you are ready to go straight back into a raid.
i dont disagree with you, i just feel like for some people (me included) we can do that w/o having a map in front of us. yes it helps and there's no harm in it being there but i don't think it's make or break
You will lose games, and from there the best way to learn is to have equipment ready so you can go straight back into a new game.
I'm not sure if it helps me or not, but I was dying more with a map open.
Reducing menuing is one of the easy fixes you can do to have a better time playing.
maybe... but then you're in a rare breed.
Instead of putting my thoughts into the map, I imagine the map and act accordingly. I have a quest? I get to my quest place. I get into a fight? I think about how I should out juke the dude and possibly finish my mission at the same time.
I think the idea about having the map open is a bit wrong approach to what is actually the issue.
like resort gamers probably know how to leave a fight and rotate w/o needing to look at a map.
@cold flower Tarkov is a game where you have to force playing smart. There's no incentive to do it. That's why nobody does it.
How is it smart to have to look at the map constantly?
thats not what hes saying
Lvl 5 eu here looking for somone to help me early quests
except you don't imagine the map. That's not how brains work. You don't imagine the map and plan your route accordingly. The route is already pre-programmed into your brain from past experiences, you simply turn on autopilot and go there.
hes saying a map will show you possibilities if you're unsure what to do. it helps the thinking process
99.9% of EFT players play differently from that. That's the whole point I'm trying to make.
sequencing??
Yes, I play area to area. I secure the area I'm in. That means it belongs to me and I have initiative for anyone who is engaging into my area.
hit up #pvp-lfg , might have some better luck ๐ซก
mark the place with your scent
From my area, I plan my move to the next area, and how to engage it.
territorial gameplay
Exactly
uhm... that's.... not what I'm talking about at all. As in, that's not the topic.
I do that as well, it's got nothing to do with maps or not. It's just strategy.
It has a lot to do with maps
mr space monkey you must put your headphones to 100 and listen to every sound wave and if you hear a crunch then grenade that direction
As per instead of moving randomly through the map, or a predefined line; it's a dynamic way of playing that makes you safer, and makes you think about your gameplay.
again, purely strategy.
The point is, having a map allows you to do that a lot better.
How is that not also strategy ๐
Anyone know where to find rfid readers
Lighthouse is a good bet ๐
Where in lighthouse do you typically find em
If you spawn as a PMC the northern chalet is good.
You might find it as a Scav, but that's rarer
Hmm
Another raid, another cheater. 84 hours level 33 one tapped 3 teammates and also me. (All shots avoided armor)
help im in a raid and i cant shoot
i was able to shoot the whole raid now all of a sudden i just cant
my gun isnt jammed or anything
103 itself is really really average, better with a rd or akm
for akm would i be able to use the same parts ?
no rd unlocked yet
most should go on there
its used for questing and barters
so it doesnt actually revive?
no
folks i got 2x8 corsair 3200 mhz rams, i wanna add another 2x8 would i benefit significantly?
some maps more than others, but generally yes
more so stutters than fps
btw frequency they ran at is 1600 cause of DDR but if i have total of 4x8 would i get 3200 mhz freq?
if you have 2 sticks cant you run at 3200?
not sure on that, ask someone else
aight ty
ur ram runs at the slowest ram sticks speed so if one is 1600 they all go 1600
both are 3200
my bad for not full readin what u said first, but ye it should still show as 1600 if u have 4 3200 ones im pretty sure
you're wayy below having no barrel overswing, so changing the forward grip / stock for something with less recoil would help you out.
As for Ak103 vs AKM, make the build on both of them and compare the stats, while keeping in mind the default ammo of the weapons.
akm would win by default since it can equip 308 muzzles
ak 103 is limited with its compensators and silencers
could be
guys I've seen people transfering loot from something to their bags with just one click, instead of having to drag the item to heir invetory. How?
cool, thanks!!!!
if anyone wants to hop in my stream for help or maybe even hop in and run trios lmk
Any other good shortcuts ?
in the stash LShift+click moves stuff to the sorting table
alt f4 gives an fps boost
Thanks
why cant i accept network provider part 2?
chek 15 is needed for house arrest part 2
it is time gated
you need to wait 1-8hrs after completing part 1
Do u need a key to get to the chek 15 door?
no
im at the stairs into hall way but cant seem to get through

u need to go all the way up then through a unlocked iron gate door with a hole inside the room
then drop down in that hole and prone under some debris
thats the hole

Whenever Iโm in a gunfight I feel I donโt have any advantage. By the way Iโm a noob but I started to loose the fear of encountering enemies so I want to win some pvp any advice?
Sometimes I have good loot and I get killed with one shot
any new task list to kappa?
idk any advice to give you except just to keep going and ull get better, ig if u have arena that would help with close quarters
if anyone wants to hop in my stream for help or maybe even hop in and run trios lmk
when will I receive Fence quests?
this was me , and to some extent still is but ive learned to get over the "gear fear" by doing a ton of factory runs and stacking rubles while playing arena to get a better understanding of the gunplay and get myself acquainted with actually engaging players
as a new player, once you have a couple mill .. even less.. whatever makes you feel comfortable.. you can put together a relatively inexpensive kit and just go play without worrying
4-5mill was good enough for me to feel OK .. and really just keep running factory as a scav.. you can loot up quick
"Similar to operational tasks for your PMC character, Fence offers daily tasks for your Scav character when you build the Hideout module Intelligence Center. They can be completed to increase your Scav karma." from the wiki
that was just some general advice, maybe you don't have the "gear fear" like me, but Arena was the answer for me to get better at pvp
What's the standing traders starter rep if you have prepare for escape?
Anyone wanna duo? - im lvl 7 started late but have over 6 wipes under my belt
Whatโs prepare for tarkov
See if you can spot the guy who killed me lol
yes he is on top of the thingy on the right side
dont know how to call it
does anyone know what these keys are for. I have been hording them every since i got them.
didn't even knew you could be there, always learning ๐
How to fix lag and frame drops ? Like entire day I donโt lag as a scav but as soon as I play PMC with friends I start lagging like crazy ? Any fix to this ? Cuz I know graphics settings arenโt that high so it must be another reason
Anyone got tips for tarkov shooter part 4?
have you tried restarting your PC? cause I noticed that if my PC hasnt restarted for a couple days, tarkov runs like shit
I mean I shut it down every night. But lowkey I might try restarting the game every few matches and Iโll try to play with the Ethernet on
connection barely matters for FPS. try updating your drivers as well
I mean Iโm pretty sure they r updated, how to check. I just got a new laptop 2 months ago.
look it up if your machine has nvidia or amd graphics. then go to the bottom right, there should be an icon with the gpu brand. click that and there should be options there. or look up a youtube guide
can anyone explain to me why people always sell grenade cases for euros on the flea?
and why has slickers suddenly doubled in price? lmao
Dunno maybe they need them@for something
I usually sell them for 316000
the wierd thing is it is only the grenade case that gets sold for euros???
hey so how do I get the bloody rusted key? I was looking for it in over 50 raids and didnt find it yet
Does anyone know where to find the stims for colleagues part 3?
Does anyone know what a good map is for a loot of loot for rubles? I know customs pretty much fully, and ground zero okay-ish
idk its impossible to get ngl
Is it worth going after raiders or rogues early level for high level weapons and gear?
Its useless This wipe
Dont bother searching for it unless you get The spawn
Its not really High tier gear But Ye it could be worth
Especially for The gunsmith parts
How does being usec make it easier to kill rouges?
it doesn't really make it easier to kill
They just don't aggro onto you from so far away
joe mama
Should i turn on mip streaming?
do it, see what happens :/
ok
if your pc is ass it might give a few frames
it looks like ass when its on tho

get a black card
not much point in selling it
wdym if u have black why not sell the 2nd huh
oh yeah it gives you one
Anyone here able to help me sell my entire stash?
How does this work? How can my head take collateral damage from being shot elsewhere?
bullets on limbs can spread to other part of body with a percent chance
they fragment
Ah, I didn't realize that fragmentation could happen from like, legs to head
So basically, when one of your limbs get shot enough to black it, further dmg to the limb will be spread to every body part.
^
Fragmentation is different. Fragmentation is basically a "critical" hit
That does more dmg
What are the best settings to help me see in the dark? I've played around with it a bit but they all seem to make it too bright whenever I'm in outside areas
When is the quest that requires the ledx?
as long as there's a snow on maps you have to decide whether you wanna see in dark buildings or not being blind outside
Just found one on Shoreline
lvl 35
does selling to traders increase trader rep ?
yes
What is the best pre flea market way to make money?
can you run streets?
Yes
if yes run it, if not just run scav or pmc interchange or lighthouse
scav on streets is can be very rewardable at times
one time i got 14 Ifaks just from looting the dead
Getting lost is the hard part lol
oh true
but streets has some pretty reconizable buildings
or look at some of the 3d maps
True, alright I'll give it shot once my scav refreshed, only have 50k to my name so I'm not risking my pmc lol
if streets is a bit too complicated, you can also try lighthouse
if you are out of gear and guns, you can go farm rouges on lighthouse
im having trouble seeing where im getting shot at from on streets? is there a tip to it? or just more experience and il start to learn where people tend to be?
is there a tip on how to farm that since i also am running out of stuff
for rouges, since they are AI, shot the first shot and kill them one by one
if you get cornered by all of them, uh you are kinda dead
but isnt every pmc on lighthouse rushing that area?
for streets, stick to going inside buildings, and map knowledge is also primary thing on streets
yeah but they cant really kill every rouge
well hopefully
is it possible for you to help me one run on lighthouse later tonight?
climb up one of the water treatment plants, peak on the stairs and approach passively
yeah sure! I am busy rn but i'll see
i am not very familiar with lighthouse, only farmed it 3 times
but i'll try help you also with streets
yea no worries il be online probably in like 3h doing uni stuff atm and ty in advance
no worries
no?
you do but is very little
It doesnt
I remember you could at some point
but i dont remember what wipe is was that i figured it
Yeah maybe long time ago
hey wondering if anyone could help run me through streets real quick? I know the general area... First wipe back since they added the map and I want to learn it. You don't have to go raid with me but I can screenshare map genie and you can sorta run me through safe routes until I learn it better, that would be great
can someone help me with the street quests? preferred EU players
i have a task to simply just survive a raid on coustoms, could i technically just go in naked and run to an extract?
You need to make sure you stay a least 7 minutes or so to not get a run through, but yes.
okay got it
Unless it's a scav quest then it's like 2 min
can someone help me do the Introduction quest?
Am I only able to do quests when I'm a pmc?
Only fence and found in raid quests for scav
Oh ok thanks
Anyone got tips for doing Big sale? I'm lvl 28 and still haven't done it.
Buy an extract key card off flea, sr11
Will help with all interchange tasks
Is that the one with the switch you have to turn on?
Wait until there's about 10 mins in raid and the mall will be empty to run through, plus hitting kiba then running down to extract is always a plus
need help on the streets for a task. im currently lvl 12 an finding it very difficult to do tasks when im coming against players with better weapons then me an also running into alot of cheaters
Help i did introduction by mechanic but Jeager is still not unlock is this a bug?
You turned in the note?
yes its completed
I might have to try the waiting bit. I normally just rush in the mall and get killed from some unknown direction. I never play interchange because of this
After a certain time on streets do scavs become hostile?
Restart the game
if you dont know where all the stores are, i would go into a scav run with the map open on another screen. After youve gotten a hang of the map, do some practice runs of all the stores while trying not to look at the map. I do this when learning any map; it's like IRL how I try not to use a GPS whenever I dont need to, only when I'm going to places im not familiar with (bc ik there are people out there that rely on a gps everytime even to go home). And if youre doing it solo, you should definitely take your time. There's nothing wrong with playing slow, youre not a rat and you dont need to force yourself to play like the chads if you're questing. Survival is important. There's a trick used in the military (idk if this is true, i just heard it somewhere) that when they're on patrol/scouting, every few minutes they just stop and take just about a minute to just stop and listen. Applying this to Tarkov has helped me get the jump on people. Every 5-10 minutes I just stop in my tracks to listen for like 30-60 seconds and gather as much info around me as I can to help me plan my path ahead. Don't just "brute force" these quests, that's how you get sent to the lobby, and that's how you kill your enjoyment of this game
If you can be the first in, sj6 and do the route to all the stores, if not, waiting it out, looting some off areas and kind of ratting for half a raid until people are moving out is generally the best for not running into groups, may have one or two lingering
