[teal depot]

Nah bro they are meta idk what your talking bout 😎

[bronze inlet]

#cyclops gang

[hasty gale]

You know what I'm talking bout

[hasty gale]

Go with them easy kills for us

[teal depot]

Bro if you need to see more then you haven’t escaped the matrix 🤦‍♂️

[hasty gale]

I don't even want to escape

[teal depot]

Lmao most honest shit I’ve heard in a while

[hasty gale]

Shhh go study or smth

[bronze inlet]

sometimes i just wildman it and ru blind

[teal depot]

Gtg check out some new rat spots

[hasty gale]

No you need to move not camp

[teal depot]

🤦‍♂️🧢

[hasty gale]

I was that friend who fooled you in rust easy

[teal depot]

Lmao i was 12 when i started playing and these adult dudes literally used me as a farm bot without me realizing

They literally took advantage of a 12 year old 💀

[hasty gale]

Reported

[teal depot]

I was such a nice gullible kid when I started playing rust and that game changed me

[clever knoll]

Why were you even playing rust at 12 wtf

[dry flint]

thats considered the norm in rust, there are even younger ones that arent too hard to find.

[clever knoll]

I wouldn't say it's the norm

There's a lot of young kids yeah, but that doesn't mean it's okay

[dry flint]

one of the reasons i stopped playing, turning into a squeak feast, and most kids had no morals so they usually had some shitty cheat/script.

[clever knoll]

I'd still say the majority is 16+

[dry flint]

yah i guess

[teal depot]

Bc it looked fun

[clever knoll]

My condolences

[teal depot]

Now they are back then they weren’t

[granite sundial]

???

[carmine knoll]

i cant the open the air drop

[abstract remnant]

What happens if I kill a boss as a skav? Do I lose Fence rep?

[granite sundial]

try to point it at the middle of the airdrop

[dry flint]

yes, a huge amount.

[carmine knoll]

Already tryed, Is not the First time

[dry flint]

If you have above 6 rep, it will always take you like 5'ish something, even if you have like 10+ rep with fence

[granite sundial]

finally

[fervent raft]

yeah 5.90 ish

[dry flint]

thank you for giving the exact amount

[clever knoll]

Above 6 or 8 respectively, it will just substract from that number and give you the result

So if you're at 7.2 and lose 0.5, you'll be put to 6.0-0.5=5.5 rep

Same with 8+

[dry flint]

did they change it? I swear you were always taken below 6 no matter how much you had

[clever knoll]

According to the wiki there is a breakpoint at 8

But I might be wrong, haven't checked it in a while

It's best you just look it up if you're curious

I think it's under the reputation article

[dry flint]

I'm at 3 fence, cant test it out myself

[clever knoll]

I'm at like 5ish

Haven't really scavved, just car

[dry flint]

I've barely carred at all

[west plover]

are all items from airdrops FIR?

[grave blaze]

Yes

As long as you extract with them

[tribal breach]

Anyone wanna run together?

[west plover]

I called in an airdrop earlier today and it was FIR, but I'm pretty sure beginning of wipe, airdrop stuff wasn't FIR... so just unsure what's going on with that. Had a tank battery in raid that was not FIR while in raid

[split grotto]

can somebody help me get jaeger

[dry flint]

It was just a bug at the start of the patch. It was recently patched about a week ago

[west plover]

[tribal breach]

Wich jaeger

[trim dagger]

Just started playing and been trying to figure out why I cant extract on certain areas every now and then. As a Scav on Ground Zero I have had times where I spawn right next to an extraction point and I can leave almost immediately [forgot the name but the MedTent area]. But as PMC it seems I would almost always have to goto Emercom Checkpoint and I never get Nakatani Stairs even if I spawned farther away from it.

Sorry if this was confusing, and thank you for ther help.

That being said since ill be in ground zero for awhile if anyone knows any good guides on that map o rin general I would greatly appreciate it. Some stuff seems out of date

[split grotto]

the trader

[tribal breach]

Im eu sorry

[split grotto]

wdym im eu too'

[tawdry widget]

Introduction quest

[tribal breach]

Alr haha i can call me

[tribal breach]

I thought u where us

[split grotto]

oh no i aint even close to the us

[tribal breach]

Well im ready when u are

[tribal breach]

[split grotto]

dms'

[plain dawn]

I got hit by two bullets of 5.45x39 PS ammo in the thorax not wearing any armor. I understand why my character died but on the regen screen it says I need to restore 300 hp. Isn't that more than those 2 bullets deal? Is there some kind of death multiplier 🙂

[bold kernel]

Collateral

The damage to your HP is collateral when u die

[sacred bay]

cann raiders run out of bullets? i had a 4 man raider team today where i killed one of them and the other 3 were just staring at me lmao, or is it a bug?

[bold kernel]

So even if the bullets only hit your thorax your other body parts also lose HP due to collateral

[sacred bay]

when i looted them their mags were full however they did kill like 15+ scavs

[bold kernel]

Did you get any scav rep

[sacred bay]

no, you cant get extra rep if raiders kill scavs

[chilly linden]

Check out my video! #EscapefromTarkov | Captured by #Outplayed
https://outplayed.tv/media/kKa6zw

[west plover]

is there a maximum negative fence rep?

[tawdry widget]

Let me find out 😈

[west plover]

I can't speak to Ground Zero map much because the map is awful and I avoid it... but, as a generality, I think when you play PMC, extractions typically will be way across the map from where you spawned.

As for a free map for Ground Zero, I guess tarkov dev is alright. I prefer mapgenie, but I think you have to pay at least once to get access to their maps

[mint light]

check out my video!

[lime nova]

just started playing anyone able to give me a hand ?

[fervent raft]

when you see the scope you know youre in for a treat!

[midnight bough]

Hey guys, I am new to this game wit ha K/D of 3, I die more than I survive but those things aside I need help with builds with which should I play. Right now I am lvl 25 and struggle to find gun builds that dont cost 1M. Could someone point me to a website or something else so I know what I should run around with. Mostly I play customs and have started to play shoreline just now.

[fervent raft]

building doesnt matter much this wipe

just use edit preset and put on stuff youve unlocked from traders

[half tartan]

You can put a silencer on the Aug A1 and it comes with a x1.5 optic for a total of $80k

If you want budget guns, the Aug A1 and G36C can both be silenced + with optic for sub-100k

[hazy veldt]

aks74u(b/n) + xrs47su handguard + scope of your choice + handgrip of your choice + pistolgrip of your choice + pt-1 or pt-3 stock + hybrid 46 (with the ram barter) or any of the other suppressors or RRD-4C if loud is ok.

60 rnd mags go down to 30k in price from time to time.

alternatively, mpx, but unless you have eod or have done peacekeeper quests, you probably don't have him at LL3 and can't buy AP6.3

pst is serviceable tho.

[austere hound]

Even the a3 when you get it is a great gun for the budget. 42 rounders without repacking penalties. You can put a tac on it too

[meager shell]

What armor material is the best?

[woeful spruce]

No, but im pretty sure negative consequences dont get any worse below -6 rep

[austere hound]

!wiki ballistics

[broken quail]

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

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Ballistics

Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.

[austere hound]

It's in there under the durability section. What you see in there is best at top & worst at bottom

[ashen crypt]

Do gun presets actually work or do they buy parts twice

[austere hound]

Are you hitting find parts or assemble?

[woeful spruce]

They work but when buying parts you need to uncheck the ones that come with the gun

[ashen crypt]

I haven’t tried yet but heard people say it’s not right

[ashen crypt]

Ok thanks

[austere hound]

I haven't had an issue. "Find parts" will find every part on the current preset, which includes stock parts + a base gun, so you get duplicates of things. You want to buy the gun, pull the gun up on preset, and then hit assemble. It'll only pull what isn't in your stash, which now includes the gun.

[serene scroll]

Simply buy the gun first and the edit preset from that point and you will never have to worry about that

[meager shell]

If i understood the info correctly, UHMWPE/Combined materials (except aramid since only like the paca has it) is the best armor material?

[marble barn]

did they change how long it takes to make purified water

[austere hound]

Yep!

[serene scroll]

Correct

[rare vault]

what i missing here, matches wiki to the pixel and still overweight

[serene scroll]

Durability is too damaged

[rare vault]

needs to be at least 80% so thats not the issue, but its supposed to be under 4kg

[spiral bloom]

swap mag to STANAG

[austere hound]

^

[rare vault]

worked, ty

[spiral bloom]

ofc 🤝

[serene scroll]

True. I quick glanced at it and thought that it said 76%

[rare vault]

happens

[serene scroll]

Durability is such a common issue for the newer players doing gunsmith

[dull plank]

How can i take parts off from weapons quickly in raid without dragging them to my rig/bag?

[spiral bloom]

you can ctrl + click them to pop them to your inventory. Not sure of any faster way than that

[serene scroll]

Just like infinite said. No other method.

[dull plank]

Okay! Thank you ill try it out

[unkempt egret]

To add to this do it to a weapon that you are not currently holding in your hands because that causes an animation to play for each part you take off. No such issues with a weapon in your bag or on your back

[spiral bloom]

solid advice

[jolly gulch]

can someone help me do signal part 1 real quick?

[wheat tree]

wasnt ther a video where it showed that this specific scope somehow makes the recoil worse ?

[distant fable]

Does the BTR spawn at the start of the raid or after a while ?

On Streets

[woeful spruce]

I think its there from the begining

[distant fable]

okok thanks

[craggy sedge]

Any idea how to spot mines/traps in ground zero?

[tender prism]

I got one of the marking quest, if i die do i lose the markers if they placed in the spec slot?

[woeful spruce]

You should check the map, if you go out of bounds theres either a sniper or mines so dont go there. There is also a single mine hidden in tarbank at tge regjsters. There are no otger traps or mines

[woeful spruce]

Anything in the special slots you keep after death just like in your secure container

[tender prism]

allright, thanks!!

[solid topaz]

how much does the big fuel can go for on flea?

[austere hound]

170'ish

[solid topaz]

this info sentenced an ai scav to sleep 🙂

[tawdry widget]

💀

[unborn junco]

pretty sure you cant lose items that are in spec slots

[surreal bison]

pretty sure this is only one mine trap in ground zero and it's in a teller area or something but there is a sign on the wall warning you before you go in lol

[astral glen]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/images/4/44/GroundZero3DMapByRe3mr.png/revision/latest?cb=20240124070419

[solid herald]

how do i not get shit on every raid

[wicked marsh]

get good

naa jk watch some guides pestily makes good ones

[short elk]

Do mods that increase muzzle velocity increase pen?

[astral glen]

No

[tardy crescent]

Velocity might have an impact on how quick your bullets lose pen and damage

[solid herald]

im trying mane

[solid herald]

thank you for the recc

[dull prawn]

What are some good places to look for industrial loot ie hideout stuff?

[solid herald]

stash

[dull prawn]

Need my water purifier and kitchen

[solid herald]

check your stash

[dull prawn]

I don't have the stuff I need to finish it, what maps or areas of certain maps

[solid herald]

check again, i just transferred everything u need

[soft tapir]

i reached level one mastering for PB pistol, are the reload speeds supposed to be faster?

[solid herald]

i think a cheater just killed me lmao

[meager shell]

you get new reload animations that are slightly different and in turn, faster than 0 mastery, but its only a slight speed buff and barely noticable on lvl 1, altough i could be completely wrong

[abstract remnant]

Both me and my friend get huge lag spikes whenever a played is close in Streets, pvp is basically impossible, we have the option to lower the graphics on that map, etc but is there something we're missing? No other map has that problem

[lethal mist]

what is a good ammo to use with sks 762 39mm? i like playing from afar

[spiral bloom]

the back areas of all 3 major stores on Interchange are a great place to look for these types of things. I also have good luck on shoreline with a combo of village and the new farm area

[tribal breach]

Can someone tell me do i loose rep if i kill rouges in light house?

I didnt play this map

As a scav

[spiral bloom]

you won't lose rep for killing them. Scav or PMC, you're good

[barren sparrow]

LFG getting back into the game havent played in a while (about a year or so) if anyone is interested in helping me with starting quest and just chilling out let me know / Ground zero

[tribal breach]

Do i gain scap rep?

Infinite

[spiral bloom]

don't believe so

[tribal breach]

K

Thnx

[spiral bloom]

np 🤝

[dull prawn]

Both maps I haven't messed with yet, thanks! I'll have to poke around with my scav

[lunar ibex]

my pc too dusty

[orchid isle]

blow air!

[lunar ibex]

not enuf

i need pressure washer

[cosmic yarrow]

on the mission tiger safari what happens if you mark 2 wagons and then die? do i need to them again?

[spiral bloom]

nah they'll still count even if you die

[nocturne moat]

how do i check spawn rates for bosses

n does night time affect them

[stark turtle]

Question, does the player profile always show the gear they have in the current raid?

[indigo kayak]

should i do colleagues part 3 or the sadist task?

[bold kernel]

Should I enable Nvidia DLSS?

[spiral bloom]

colleagues is def worth it if you can find the injectors, black card is crazy

[spiral bloom]

try it and see how it affects FPS. People have varying results with it in Tarkov cause it's not implemented super well. Some have better performance without

[indigo kayak]

wheres a good place to find the stuff? is there alot of labs access cards and stims in labs itself?

[spiral bloom]

a lot spawn there fow sure, but I founds most of mine by spawning in with them as a scav at decent rep

scav case in hideout is a decent option for passively hunting the stims

if you've got a buddy with black card though, you'll find them super quickly

[indigo kayak]

do u get black card from completing colleagues part 3?

[spiral bloom]

✅

[indigo kayak]

i can juy buy one

[indigo kayak]

is it one of the unkown rewards?

[spiral bloom]

I think so, here are the full rewards

[unborn junco]

would anyone want to come help me do pocket watch? i got the key just keep getting killed going to the truck

[opaque sentinel]

what do i do here

i even waited for the restock, and still same problem

[indigo kayak]

i was confused cus im blind and didnt see the card lol

[unborn junco]

you just gotta be quicker unfortunately

[indigo kayak]

either run there straight away if u spawn near or go later in the game

[indigo kayak]

go from the flea market tab next time

like this

[orchid elm]

How do you guys do lighthouse tasks that take you to the water treatment

[unborn junco]

how tf did a level 4 pmc i killed on my scav have lvl 5 body armor

[orchid elm]

I genuinely cant take this shit anymore

[spiral bloom]

are you USEC or BEAR?

[orchid elm]

Bear

Unfortunately

[spiral bloom]

[orchid elm]

Im going usec next wipe purely because of this fucking map

[opaque sentinel]

starter gear from their game version?

[spiral bloom]

a lot harder, but you'll have to clear rogues as you go. Learn the spawns of the rooftop fellas and push in from the front left side

[orchid elm]

They just instantly nuke me with the ags

[unborn junco]

they give level 5 armor for starter gear? wtf

[opaque sentinel]

think eod might

[orchid elm]

One of them oneshot me from the roof while I was on the bridge

[edgy plover]

No they don’t

[uncut hollow]

Annyone got tips for not sressing in battles my adrenaline keeps f'ing me up

[edgy plover]

But it’s not hard to find

[orchid elm]

For some reason pmcs also camp the entrances to water treatment?

[edgy plover]

Just play a lot. Arena helps with this

[orchid elm]

I waited full 30 minutes today and this fully geared pmc was waiting for me there

[uncut hollow]

Ill try thanks for the tip

[unborn junco]

just keep going, i found that doing offlines with scavs helped me with the adrenaline and aim

[uncut hollow]

Thanks ill try that out too

[unborn junco]

i've been running a shotty but would it be better to go with slugs or buckshot?

[indigo kayak]

pirahna

[hallow patrol]

available for woods, teaching 🙂 and tasking (lv 12

[orchid isle]

if u got 1440p or higher

[unborn junco]

i have like 30 i managed to pick up from fence but besides that i dont have flea yet

is double barrel or mp-153/155 better?

[indigo kayak]

id say

the semi auto shotgun

ill check the name its from jager

mp 153

[unborn junco]

ok, thank you

[rustic wraith]

found this key for a marked room, filtered it and it sells for basically 2 million, i have >300k right now, do i sell it or use it?

i also have a FIR GPU

dont know if i should sell that either

[orchid elm]

depends on if you have some of the essentials

[stark turtle]

Does anyone know the answer to this?

[orchid elm]

I've ran that key 8 times first week of the wipe, got a docs, injectors case, dogtags case, a bunch of military electronics and even a bitcoin

[orchid elm]

I think it shows what the player had when they started the raid

[rustic wraith]

i have a docs and a dogtag, does it spawn ammo containers?

[stark turtle]

Yeah, I kind of think so too, but I need to know for sure. Because if that's the case, I just got killed by a guy who rapidfired from a silenced mosin.

[orchid elm]

I dont think it does

never seen one there

[orchid elm]

what was the ammo you've been killed with

there's only one suppressable 7.62x54R weapon and that's the mosin

[fiery mirage]

whats a good rifle/dmr/ar thats good for a beginner and fits all situations (cqc midrange longrange)

[mint light]

lvl?

[fiery mirage]

21, first wipe, 180 hrs

[mint light]

once u get lvl 23 and do the quest u get peacekeeper 3 and m80 and that opens so many options for u but before that id just use like an sks or something

m80 is just very strong

u get bcp fmj before that but its whatever

[spiral bloom]

SA-58 is a good choice this wipe, esp once you get to the better ammo options

[mint light]

sa58 so strong rn

[opaque sentinel]

are there any discount codes for the tarkov merch store?

[thorny mica]

i need help doing mechanic quest in GZ

[fiery mirage]

thank you

[pallid venture]

in my opinion it is stronger only at close to mid range because I feel like that’s the only key time it’s accurate at full auto

[mental sun]

When Im scavving, how do I know if someone's a pmc or a scav?

[mint light]

it beams this wipe full auto even far away

[copper moon]

how they behave- player scavs generally move around more/loot, AI tends to patrol or stay around in an area, exception is a tagged and cursed pmc- which they will hunt

[pallid venture]

to each their own i do gotta try it agin tho

[mint light]

and it shoots 308 yk so u like insta kill thorax

im spraying it with a vudu on and it kills quick

[mental sun]

If I hear shooting where I'm going, shoot first ask questions never?

[spiral bloom]

try short bursts while crouched, absolute lazer

[fiery mirage]

also whats a good suppressor that dosent kill alot of ergo for the sa58?

[pallid venture]

crouched = make me a good headshot target for other people

[mint light]

crouch spray everyone its free win

if u inertia peek crouching is fine

just inertia peek people

[copper moon]

this is a sort of playstyle thing, and how much you value rep- I generally wait a bit before rolling up on gunfire unless accompanied by other scavs, like if they are on the hunt or something similar

[mental sun]

Im asking because I heard shooting where I was going, saw a guy with his back to me, announced that I was a scav, they didnt shoot me until I had my back to them

(Im stupid)

[fading oyster]

I j got the game and don’t know what I’m doing does anyone have tips like what to do as scav and I’ve had some trouble trying to figure out how to leave the island

[mint light]

if u use short barrel the ergo is pretty high u dont need to worry

[fiery mirage]

short barrel isnt even available on the flea

i only have lvl 2 traders

[mint light]

the gun by default has short barrel depending on which one u get

[copper moon]

not really, I would not announce that you are a player, rather voiceline and attempt to figure their motives out first

[mint light]

i dont buy the long barrel one anymore cuz new recoil

[fiery mirage]

i bought rhe gun off the flea

[mint light]

i be buying this one

but mechanic 3 has a barter to make it rly cheap

[rare olive]

My friend who just bought the game is stuck on the cloud flare verification but it works on his Mac? Anybody know about this?

[copper moon]

try using an incognito window in the browser

[spiral bloom]

I tend to run the DT mount with a Hybrid 46 but ergo is definitely a weak point of the gun no matter how you shake it

[rare olive]

Already tried that and tried using a new browser

[mint light]

u can get very solid ergo on short barrel which is super viable now

[fiery mirage]

damn i thought war 762 would work but theres a flash

[mint light]

i can show u my ergo shi in a min

[copper moon]

the other thing would be to clear the browser cache, but using an incognito window sorta already does this, so that may not work

[fiery mirage]

this aint cursed right

[rare olive]

Alright thanks

[rare olive]

Not at all

[mint light]

stinky

[fiery mirage]

what do i do to improve

[mint light]

ill drop shit after raid

[fiery mirage]

okay

[tender prism]

I gotta turn in the secure folder 0052, who do i turn it in? Therapist or Skier?

[mint light]

depends if u want exp or money more i always go for the exp

[fiery mirage]

i did it to skier so idk if that was the right choice

[copper moon]

does it still give the neg rep for the other trader? I haven't played for like 2 wipes

[mint light]

no

dont think it ever did

[copper moon]

odd, i thought it did, always gave it to therapist

[fading oyster]

I j got the game and don’t know what I’m doing does anyone have tips like what to do as scav and I’ve had some trouble trying to figure out how to leave the island

[mint light]

shit i be usin, if u want ergo go loud

if ur poor u can cut corners

[fiery mirage]

how much does the entire thing cost

[mint light]

depends on what ur traders are.

[opaque mountain]

I finisihed The Blood of War - Part 1 why didn't I receive part 2?

[fiery mirage]

lvl 2

[mint light]

u can tailor ur builds for yourself and cut corners

[fiery mirage]

ok

[mint light]

30 rnd mags without traders are expensive

[fiery mirage]

im using fal for mid-long range

[mint light]

works

[spiral bloom]

drum mag is certainly... a choice

[mint light]

og labs type shi

long barrel anyway u dont care bout no ergo

[copper moon]

best way to learn streets and ground zero? they were added since I played last, currently just doing ai to get back in the swing of things bc its been a while

[mint light]

open and map and just run around until u figure it out. aint nothing to it

offline mode or scav whatever u want

[cloud fern]

Can someone help me I keep getting this and it won’t let me reconnect

I’ll lose a full kit for this

[ashen crypt]

Alt f4 and relaunch

[unborn junco]

i waited till 10 mins left in bushes by dorms and was able to go grab it and get out. ty for the tip ggs

i havent ever heard of anything like this but it sounds a lil sussy

[mint light]

contact battleye. this discord is gonna ban you too

ur probably not getting ur account back they dont rly do anything

good luck

[finite sentinel]

learn one area of the map at a time and then go from there.

[mental sun]

Where can I easily find an awl?

[quiet cobalt]

Is anyone else having issues with matching today? I have tried to find a raid like 7 times on Streets and nothing. Even waited for 20 mins in a queue, but yet when I tried to scav in it let me into a raid after like 30 seconds

[mental sun]

Where can I easily find building material barter items?

[finite sentinel]

interchange or industrial zone on customs are great places to start

[velvet egret]

What’s a good armor you can buy from vendor LL3

I’ve been running Kirasa but it seems like it’s not as good anymore

[velvet egret]

It’s random. I got mine in filing cabinets

[finite sentinel]

i still run kirasa fairly frequently, but i put lv4 or 5 plates in it

kirasa is better than the majority of armors rn

[digital rock]

Is this worth a bit or all rubbish?

[velvet egret]

I can’t get l5 plates from vendor yet. Which ones do you buy

[finite sentinel]

mostly garbage, but theres some items there that are helpful for tasks/hideout

[velvet egret]

All of that is useful for hideout upgrades and some tasks

Med tools and meds good for crafting

[digital rock]

Okay good, ive just been saving random shit without selling it cus i figured i might need it some day

[velvet egret]

You can use tarkovtracker to see what to hang on to

Those are all common items tho

[finite sentinel]

if you cant buy l5 plates, then buy the l4s

[digital rock]

I figured i keep it untill i unlock the flea?

[velvet egret]

Kk thx

[velvet egret]

None of that is good for flea really. Maybe the hdd

[digital rock]

Hm okay

[velvet egret]

Psu is sort of valuable but you need them

Imo just keep everything until stash is full then vendor whatever

[finite sentinel]

or if you find fir gzhel you can swap plates and sell the plate carrier, they sell for a good bit

[velvet egret]

Good idea

[finite sentinel]

they're also needed for quests though so keep that in mind

[tawdry maple]

what task do you have to do to unlock the house arrest part 1 task ?

[normal plover]

debtor from skier

[tawdry maple]

ty

[south flare]

whoever needs money fast just go to black pawn on reserve and shoot the player scavs with max rep that spawn in by hole in the wall by mountains gg you now have infinite labs keycards and stims

[tawdry maple]

😮

[south flare]

as they are spawning in

[eternal kiln]

trying to do gunsmith 6, literally followed 2 different builds to the tee from youtube and neither give me the option to turn it in. Anybody had this before?

[peak current]

Guys, what is this thing? My friend told me if I got it right he would bring me 200 rounds of M995

[stark turtle]

Scope mount. Maybe SVD?

One of those soviet PSU scopes or whatever.

Looks like it, at least.

[peak current]

Maybe, I will go and give it a try

Thanks man

nope is not

[stark turtle]

Survivor Lighter?

I mean, I'm almost positive it's some scope mount.

[umbral kindle]

How do i fix my weapon malfunction?

[stark turtle]

Could be an attachment like flashlight or something.

[stark turtle]

Try to fire, then the game will tell you to L your weapon (inspect), then Shift+T.

[peak current]

I will go ask

[stark turtle]

I'm honestly not sure.

[umbral kindle]

Thanks

[peak current]

Is stock sight

[versed knot]

[wide forge]

1 mintue after spawn firefight jam gun 4 times and dont have time to loot the bodies and die to a squad

[hoary falcon]

Use this when trying to see what stuff is worth https://tarkov-market.com

[fading oyster]

@hoary falcon thanks

Idk what any of that means tho

[umbral kindle]

Ive been trying to do database part 1 on interchange for 4 days now and no matter how i play i just get killed every single time. I fuckin hate these tasks you should be able to skip them just like daily tasks

[knotty ledge]

Is there a repository anywhere for good gun presets?

[versed knot]

or make matches based on skill

guy with 2h in game have to fight with full builded guy with 10k hours

just love it

[normal plover]

the whole point is its never fair

a full build guy and die to a scav with a lucky buckshot to the throat

[weary mist]

if im going to take the kilmov exfil with my friends, do they also need a flare?

[hazy veldt]

most of it is like 10k+ per item.

some 20k

a few 5k'ish, but you might need them for quest, like 5 packs of malboro

[tough widget]

what is the cheapest rig that can carry 40 rounders?

[jagged arrow]

Im not a beginner but I am new to labs kinda. I did around 30 runs and Ive yet to see the items that are needed for solar/int center 3. I check: cat, admin, parking, parking control room, offices, weapon testing..

Am I doing it right?

[astral glen]

There is more spawns than that

They can spawn at any electronic spawn on the map

[jagged arrow]

Ok

I check computer tables near dome and robots too

[astral glen]

Dark offices, on the little boxes outside dark offices, blue office near parking button, it can spawn all on the floor and the conference room table there, all on the floor in violet also outside of weapons testing near the computer desks on the shelves

Also all the caged testing benches outside in that area can have it on the barter item spawns

Also the black shelves under kitchen and cat office that can spawn VPX sometimes, it can be there

[jagged arrow]

Ok ty

[modern bay]

Anyone have good resources that explains what loot I should be looking for early game? Feel like I'm just picking up everything and I have 0 space in my stash

[astral glen]

The wiki has a list of all items you will need for quests and if they need to be found in raid or not, it also has a list of items needed for the hideout if you plan to keep most of that to save some money, TarkovTracker.io also does this but with a checklist system that you can save so it's a bit easier to keep track.

[versed knot]

what ammo is best of 5.45?

[tidal lagoon]

id say BS

[versed knot]

[wild moat]

what is the best youtuber to watch to start tarkov as a new player

[astral socket]

My personal favorite was SheefGG

Goes over a lot of things new players/intermediate can use

[worldly rose]

stankrat 😉

[finite sentinel]

jessekazam

[sharp verge]

pest

[tender prism]

I got a quest to mark the transport with the chemicals, i dont really understand it couse i have that same quest on therapist, prapor and skier. Do i gotta choose who i complete it to? Who should i complete it to? I dont really understand :p

[hazy veldt]

you choose who to complete to

you fail with the others

[spice gate]

Best budget guns with lvl 1 and 2 traders so not good ammo access?

[hazy veldt]

you should hand it to therapist tho, she gives injector case

[hazy veldt]

aksu74, you can barter for 60 bt with prapor ll2, if you're rich and have the time to check every trader reset
Or you buy PP or PS from flea.

[finite sentinel]

you can also check all the ammo spawns on woods, scav woods, and you'll become ammo rich in no time

[hazy veldt]

if you're rich you can also run p90 with l191 from flea.

[spice gate]

Which aks-74

[finite sentinel]

any smg makes for a good early budget gun

any 74u series ak

[tender prism]

allright thanks!

[finite sentinel]

you will lose rep with the other traders, so be prepared to do the tasks required to get that rep back

[ashen crypt]

for 5.45 aks, you can buy ps ammo from fence which goes through tier 3 which is ok

[tender prism]

will i lose the (trader) level i got on the both prapor and skier tho?

[finite sentinel]

potentially, until you gain that rep back via the quests they ask

i think skier asks for 1m roubles

and prapor 10m67 grenades

m67 grenades are fairly common and cheap

[swift socket]

Can anyone help me quest and earn money

[crimson valve]

any advice on finding a VPX without going to lighthouse

been running moonshine scav case for about 3 weeks with no luck so far from it. Im close to max traders while doing as few lighthouse tasks as possible and plan to keep it that way, but really need the VPX to unlock FMJ FX frrom Mech LL4

[arctic nova]

anyone wanna play? NA

[dull prawn]

How am I supposed to refill my hunger and thirst in the hideout? I've been having issues where I can't recharge it fast enough, and I have always sold all the food and drink items i find so I don't have anything to use, what do you guys try to keep in your stash? Or is there a service from therapist or something to refill your hunger and thirst for roubles?

[crimson valve]

Buy food on the flea or wait if you dont have flea. I wouldnt recommend selling all of your food, only certain more valuable ones used for barter trades (herring, squash, tarcola, etc.)

You can buy water from LL1 therapist

and I guess you can buy crackers from LL1 jaeger? but would be very pricey to fill up your food

[dull prawn]

Yeah ok, I usally just don't have a ton of time to play so I haven't had this issues before, I thought your stats refreshed once you got back to your hideout

[crimson valve]

also, if you do it yourself you raise your metabolism level which can be valuable

gl out there!

[hallow patrol]

scav for food, as you scavm you refill 🙂

[dull prawn]

Crackers are also therapist

[crimson valve]

whoops youre right

[dusty spruce]

what the best way to do the kill pmc with iron sights quest from jaeger?

[plush star]

bro this is insane 😭

I just got jumped by 6 scavs and they were from both sides

while I had an ak with the worse possible ammo ever

I wish we could make it where there are games that are solo only

[noble fog]

are proper PostFX changes a big advantage? if so is there a recommended youtube video i could copy settings from? i followed one particular video but i dont like how the game looks. on certain maps/weather it looks like complete shit and has blinding sun glare

[mint light]

preference

[still shuttle]

Can someone help tell me how to clear space and what to sell

[noble fog]

idk what level you are but i would get an ammo case if possible. sell the shit ammo your never gonna use

check out https://www.eft-ammo.com/ if your not sure, the tier list may be helpful if your unsure. this is a very nice tool i use frequently. also do a google search for all quest items that need to be found in raid, try to remember them best you can and save those items when you find them

[crystal thistle]

could someone please help me with the introduction task?

[unreal parcel]

anyone able to help me with shooting cans or saving the mole on GZ? I get dropped left and right on that map.

[plush star]

i wouldnt say so, but the game just feels a lot less good when you don't like how it looks visually

[hazy veldt]

Visibility PostFX settings are a huge advantage, yes.
but if you're lazy, just crank gamma/contrast/brightness a bit in nvidia/amd controlpanel or your monitor

[hazy veldt]

You remove like most shadowed areas with tryhard settings.

looks like fortnite, but advantage is advantage.

[dusty spruce]

wow

i really need to play more

because leveling is hard LOL

[hazy veldt]

just task

[dusty spruce]

yeah

i just did a weekly for 26k

it was only killing scavs so it was pretty easy

[tranquil cliff]

anyone wanna come labs and help with raiders ?

not labs lighthouse*****

[oblique lichen]

r u bear

[tranquil cliff]

no

[oblique lichen]

[weary kestrel]

oh yeah the rogues

[plush star]

whats the settings

[hazy veldt]

idk, i just use amd control panel

[plush star]

I use both ngl

[hazy veldt]

something like this maybe, but postfx is largely subjective
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMO8Y73z904

(first hit on google)

ingame brightness is kinda ass tho, makes flashlights worse

[wispy quail]

My first day did not go well. Won every close range encounter but those were vastly outnumbered by dying from people I couldnt see. I dont know why to buy, I dont even know HOW to buy things I need. Being unable to heal myself is a terrible disadvantage that Im not sure how to fix.

[opaque moat]

what are some BIS attachments tahr are locked behind quests i should know about ? things like stocks, foregrips anything else that important ?
im looking into some of the better armor and i see most are locked behind ragman quests so im wondering what attachments are good that are locked behind quests i should know about ?

[hazy veldt]

i don't think any attachment is important now.

-1, -2% recoil difference is so mid now.

[opaque moat]

i mean id still like to know what the BIS ones are

[plush star]

imo the best attachments are just scopes

since irons arent really optimal

[hazy veldt]

scopes are super personal, but deltapoint is popular as is xps3-0 for collimators.

[plush star]

just scav it up until you get some loot and just keep on learning the maps

im new aswell and the only tips I can really give you

is learning the maps, and just being more patient

but learning the maps is i can not stress it enough the most important

[hazy veldt]

sounds like you need https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epArHimbrBM

[plush star]

because if you need to evac and you don't know where to go then theres a high chance you'll just get tapped in the head by a timmy while you're just wandering around

[plush star]

I know this because I myself am a victim of this

[tight prawn]

how am i supposed to play like this???

[hazy veldt]

hipfire

but more seriously try clearing cache

does this happen in normal tarkov too?

[tight prawn]

not as bad, arena is about 10x worse

[tight prawn]

where

[hazy veldt]

launcher

[brisk peak]

What is good solo grind advice? I keep running out of gear by getting one tapped out of position

[tight prawn]

where in the launcher

[hazy veldt]

well for arena, in the arena one:

since they're separate clients

[tight prawn]

yea found it

[hazy veldt]

clear cache and then integrity check maybe

[edgy plover]

-You want to get one map down well. Don’t spread yourself thin early on. Focus on getting good enough at one map you can always go back there and make money if you need to, then go learn others. Start anywhere but Factory. Don't spend too much time on Ground Zero.
-If you want to guarantee profit, you can always enter the cycle of scavving and offline-PMCing/Practice Mode while your scav is on cooldown. Scavving can only make you money. Practice mode is great for learning maps, learning loot runs, and getting good at killing scavs and scav bosses, and other core mechanics like hipfire. It's literally impossible to lose any money doing this, so it just stacks up while you learn a lot
-Hipfire is good, using a laser and hipfiring is an important mechanic to start practicing. Use practice mode
-Stop running everywhere - sprinting is very loud and gives you away, it provides a lot of opportunity to ambush you. Whenever you're in high-traffic areas, be very disciplined about when you sprint.
-Have a goal in mind every raid, plan a route and try to stick roughly to it. If you notice a route failing 3 times in a row, change your route. This makes it easier to keep track of which routes actually work and which are reliably dangerous.
-Positioning is everything. In combat, frequently reposition, this is just one of the reasons map knowledge is critical and should be built and practiced ASAP. Pick your fights, don't be afraid to retreat
-Ammo is more important than guns, but you need to know how to use what ammo you have. High damage vs High penetration is a critical difference - use an ammo chart.
-Learn from every death, there's almost always a lesson, recording them and watching them back really helps improve
-Most importantly, have fun with it - don't be afraid to take a break if it's frustrating you too much.

[tight prawn]

is there a way to test my gun without having to join a game and suffer

[brisk peak]

do offline runs add to your loot pile?

[hazy veldt]

offline raid or shooting range.

[tight prawn]

i dont see that in arena, i dont have the issue in regular tarkov

[hazy veldt]

oh, arena, no idea.

I guess not.

[plush star]

does anyone know a cheap scope I can get for sks thats level 1 trader

[dusty spruce]

no

[plush star]

im done.

i join a raid and it disconeccts me

and now it wont let me join back

[dusty spruce]

pc problems tbh

cant handle the map

[austere hound]

Scopes/sights only go on the opsks. Prapor ll1 has a 4x

[plush star]

what?

it says server connection loss

lost

[dusty spruce]

what are your computer specs?

i d/ced on my gf's computer, and it said the same thing

but the computer just couldn't handle streets

[plush star]

its probably a bug

Tarkov being Tarkov

[burnt token]

genuine question , i think i may be done with ALL quests ''need for kappa'' and i still not have receive the collector as a quests , why ?

[west plover]

I guess you could try restarting your game and/or checking the wiki list here - sorting by quests required for kappa https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Quests

[soft tapir]

tips for solo interchange?

like should i do night or day

do i just rush to the mall once i spawn in

[kind badger]

i killed a guy with loads of computer parts in his bag, are there any i should keep? i see they sell for at least 6k and i was planning on just giving them to therapist

[hazy veldt]

depends on the parts.

you'll need many for quests as well.

[opaque moat]

best 545 ak ?

[wheat sundial]

how many hackers u face when playing labs? average at least 1 per raid?

[hazy veldt]

aks74u(b/n)

[opaque moat]

even over rpk ?

or ak 12

[hazy veldt]

no modding options, lower ergo for those

[opaque moat]

sorry what has no modding options ? the 74u or rpk

[hazy veldt]

rpk, ak12

compared to the fullsize ak-74n/m

[opaque moat]

could u share a build ?

[hazy veldt]

after this factory

[opaque moat]

thanks ❤️

[hazy veldt]

can use SAW pistolgrip and pt-1 stock, if you need to save money
for hybrid 46, make sure to buy with the barter.

if you don't mind going loud then the RRD-4C muzzle device is also relatively cheap on flea usually.

[ionic juniper]

anyone else's audio cut out completely when loading loot into any raid? I have to restart my headset every time to get audio back before I deploy.

[opaque moat]

and does it matter if i go 74 m or n ?

[carmine shale]

what are some good ammo/weapons to kill tagilla

[west plover]

is max metabolism supposed to prevent any negative effects of having 0 thirst/hunger?

[west plover]

sometimes but not every time. I have to relaunch the game and/or reset inputs in my case

actually I died a few raids ago because I loaded in with no sound... went to hide somewhere, alt f4ed and tried to reload, but was already dead

[distant sail]

No idea but thats some MAJOR money

Good find bud

[distant sail]

Takes longer for Hunger / Thirst to go down

[distant sail]

Scav runs are your best friend

[distant sail]

Scav runs is where i make MOST of my profit tbh.

[rocky tusk]

what happens to my stash if i already upgraded my stash to level 2 and then decide to upgrade my tarkov game edition

[tidal lagoon]

Elite metabolism will prevent you from taking any damage from hunger or thirst, it still affects your stamina gain though

[rough rain]

How do i regain energy after raid? I can only buy crackers from therapist and they barely give any energy

[west plover]

do scav runs between pmc runs... and learn where food spawns are

idk if you use map genie but at least on their maps, i think food spawns fall under "provisions"

[umbral kindle]

Shouldn't effect your stash you'll just gain the extra space

[weak mirage]

If youre low on energy or water just bring food into your next raid and eat it off spawn

That Will gain you metabolism xp aswell

[teal depot]

?

[west plover]

I feel like low energy/hydration is usually a sign of camping/long raids though

[weak mirage]

Im getting on after being at The shop

[weak mirage]

No it just happens

You menace

I hope you Got your 50 on Streets Then

How many

[tender gazelle]

happens quickly when stomachs blacked n u cant cms in a fight

[weak mirage]

Also just being low level and spamming raids

Like you gotta eat a lot

[west plover]

yes ofc but he's talking about it being a regular thing... but I digress lol

[weak mirage]

I had The feeling Streets was cursed

[tender gazelle]

i dont really worry about dehydration and hunger, but it occasionally happens and i dont sit around

[west plover]

thanks for sharing

[raw fiber]

Why did I just get an ad on YT for tarkovboost?

[weak mirage]

Ill go get the quest and see if my mental health allows me playing street

Its insane

[rough rain]

I cant bring food since i dont have any.

[weak mirage]

Then play a map where you know food spawns

Or scav for some food

[torn rapids]

or just buy food

[weak mirage]

Can you do that with lvl 1 traders?

I dont even know

[torn rapids]

i think you can buy mres

[weak mirage]

I have No clue tbh

[torn rapids]

or ishkras

[rough rain]

you cant buy anothing aside from crackers at l1

theyre all barters

[weak mirage]

Yeah dont eat those

[torn rapids]

eat crackers

if you're in your hideout

just do it

[rough rain]

theyre 14k each and provide 10 energy each... thats over 100k just to get to 100 energy

[weak mirage]

Just go on a Woods run, or a Quick interchange

And get some food

[west plover]

new map?

[somber zodiac]

how do i stop playing tarkov i need help

[lost frost]

idk if there is a way

[west plover]

waow level 145

[woeful spruce]

Start going labs, the amount of cheaters and sweats will make you ragequit for some time

[west plover]

yeah seriously

[distant fable]

can i extract quest items with the BTR ?

lol what's your scav karma

[pearl forge]

nahh there's no way ahaha

violated holy shit

[bold kernel]

Anyone wanna play I’m new

[soft tapir]

just gonnna do some copium and say he is really really good

to be able to land two shots to the head while i was moving

[pearl forge]

ahahhahah

yeah that's not right you got scammed bro

[low merlin]

#pvp-lfg

[sick galleon]

Just in terms of storing attachments, what handguards would be best for that, to have as many on one as possible?

[low merlin]

or just lucky, but yes, for the time played, his stats are far above average, but not "that good" to clearly say that he cheated

[soft tapir]

why is he naked though

not even a rig

[woeful spruce]

Yup

[low merlin]

maybe he does zero to hero, or just wants to kill with as little investment as possible, but at the end of the day, I dont know. You could add him ingame and ask him.

[woeful spruce]

Like items required for quests like found in raid requirement, not like quest items quest items like pocketwatch letters documents or stuff like that

[soft tapir]

oh well

im just unlucky

[rough rain]

Killed first chad. Small steps

[west plover]

is there a way to tell at the end of raid screen whether I gained or lost scav karma?

[soft tapir]

i killed a chad in factory once, with a Benelli M3. and then a scav tanked a full magazine of ash 12 before one tapping me

[soft tapir]

it does say there

pretty sure

[west plover]

it ended up being a bear so I'm alright, just wasn't sure if I shot first or not

[low merlin]

in the stats screen (were you can also see how many bullets you shoot and how many you hit) at the top there should be your gain or lose

[west plover]

cool, I'll have to look for it next scav run

need one more setup kill on customs. dorms and scav fortress were a wash in the last 2 raids... any suggestions on where else to go?

[low merlin]

I only have general advice, go to high end-loot spots, push towards spawns, push towards gun shoots or camp high traffic choke spots

[west plover]

nvm I got it done on big red lol

[lyric viper]

does anyone know if the "not killing rogues" for a "few raids" to reset their shoot on sight apply only to running lighthouse or any map?

[flat cipher]

rogues are only on lighthouse

the other maps are raiders

[low merlin]

as far as I know, you can play 3 other raids, does not have to be LH

[flat cipher]

oh right that's what you meant

which flea rep do I need again for 4th selling slot?

@fervent raft are you an actual marine ?

I don’t speak Latin

It was more of a yes or no question

And isn’t it only American marines that say semper fi ?

does anybody know why I run less than 60 fps in raid? I have an old 1060, 16gb ram an amd 3700x

for some reason I don't go past 40-45 in raid :/

[west plover]

how likely is it that it was a cultist and not a player shooting at me with a suppressed weapon on a night raid here on shoreline? Red is roughly where they probably are, and I was a bit sw of there towards one of the quest houses for Courtesy Visit

[teal depot]

He’s not from America tho is he

Correct me if I’m wrong I just asked because i was interested

[bronze inlet]

Semper fidelis!

[fringe jewel]

Why is gunsmith part 18 not turnable

I followed the wiki

But it doesnt let me turn it in

[steel pike]

how do you guys do scav coop? I'm trying to get my rep up but can't seem to find a good way to use those extracts

[fringe jewel]

It needs to be a player scav

[steel pike]

I can be a player scav

yeah but what I mean is, is there a strategy to get it to work. Right now i've tried spawning as a pscav and going to the extract make some noise. But no one comes to see

[bronze inlet]

thats not even true lol

[bronze inlet]

its luck

[torn rapids]

go as a pmc

and sit there

[soft tapir]

what do i set sharpness to

so that its easiest to spot others

i heard 0 is the best for it but feels like Vaseline over my eyes

[bronze inlet]

anti aliasing is most important, TAA High is a must.

i hated FXAA, every edge of trees and buildings flashed white and black all the time

[soft tapir]

yeah but it kinda stops working when moving

[orchid isle]

fxaa makes everything blurry asf for tarkov

fxaa for graphical games look better

[bronze inlet]

^

[orchid isle]

[bronze inlet]

def not the best settings. but i play just fine

[dry flint]

I wish they removed snow already

It messes up my settings big time between day and night raids

[bronze inlet]

FUCK YOU

[dry flint]

Understandable, but still. I can barely see any red dot optics lol

It was fun for the past month, but its just annoying to me now

[bronze inlet]

REALISM DONT CARE

ITS STILL WINTER

[dry flint]

Tarkov is around in russia, it snows heavily there

But as a south east asian that has never seen snow in his 27 years of life, i can understand

[bronze inlet]

lol

[viral grail]

Sad

[dry flint]

its even sadder that im from the philippines

[bronze inlet]

beat you to it lol

[edgy plover]

Moscow is more populated

I win lol

[tawdry maple]

how the fuck do you get up there on streets

[keen fossil]

Snow mid

[bronze inlet]

yeah i couldnt remember which was the capital lmao

[keen fossil]

also just remove snow already shit annoying af

[edgy plover]

Snow > Rain

[bronze inlet]

you dont

[keen fossil]

can see shits it’s it’s crazy over saturated

[tawdry maple]

you can i saw stank rat do it

[bronze inlet]

[edgy plover]

You probably need strength stims

[orchid isle]

night > everything >:)

[tawdry maple]

fair

[fringe jewel]

is there something i miss for gunsmith 18

[keen fossil]

Mid

[edgy plover]

Is that grip grey or black?

[fringe jewel]

black

nvm

[edgy plover]

are you certain, it looks grey

[fringe jewel]

its stealth grey

[edgy plover]

yea you need the black one

[keen fossil]

Mid

[weary kestrel]

Okay add 2cm on top of whatever snow fall there is. The snow isn’t going anywhere it’s going to pile up until it nears spring. Also the entirety of Russia or atleast 90 - 95% is going to have snowfall during the winter months

[edgy plover]

I feel like people have forgotten how annoying the damn rain was

[bronze inlet]

imagine how pissed youd all be if it rotated EVERY RAID

[edgy plover]

I'd much prefer different weather every raid compared to like hours or days of rain

I like variety. I think random weather per raid would be cool

[clever knoll]

Oo now I want autumn maps

With orange leaves and shit

[edgy plover]

No I mean each raid is random, instead of rain being global on all maps for the duration

Like each raid just rolls a random weather condition

[viral grail]

Wouldnt make any sense

[bronze inlet]

drought maps lol

[edgy plover]

Hmm, yea I've never seen that. Sometimes it's lighter or heavier on other maps, but never seen it totally different

[edgy plover]

Plenty of things don't make sense but are in the game because it makes for a better experience. I just hate when there's whole days where every raid is pouring rain

[viral grail]

I mean

Every map is "connected" with one another so it wouldnt make any sense that its raining on for example customs and not on woods

I get your point tho

[wet sky]

isnt the lab on streets?

[edgy plover]

Yes, but considering how nonsensical plenty of the extracts are considering the map layout, I think people could forgive varying weather lol

[west plover]

does big pipe and all them always spawn in 3s or can it be just 2 of them? I just dropped 2 of them but no idea where the 3rd is lurking

[bronze inlet]

thats where streets is now

[clever knoll]

Always all 4

(spreading misinformation is my passion)

[wet sky]

allways 3

and Pipe and Knight pushes you

While birdeye snipes

[edgy plover]

New goon AI is weird, I've seen some funky behavior from them this wipe

[clever knoll]

Birdeye has no footsteps so watch out for that

[wet sky]

All AI is weird

scavs and rouges too

[bronze inlet]

they changed that kinda, if birdeye is the only one alive, he has footsteps

[wet sky]

yes

[clever knoll]

Oh what?

Really?

[edgy plover]

Oh is that what that is? I could have sworn I heard him moving but I thought that was impossible

[bronze inlet]

only when hes alone

[rugged crane]

any idea when the snow is leaving or if its staying as a weather condition

[bronze inlet]

snow all wipe

[clever knoll]

That makes more sense

[rugged crane]

ah

[edgy plover]

Yea that tracks

[wet sky]

gg

[rugged crane]

snow is blinding as hell

[wet sky]

snow was good for sometime

kinda boring now

[edgy plover]

snow > rain

[rugged crane]

yea

[wet sky]

yes

[rugged crane]

i liked it at first cuz it was new and now its just annoying its too loud on my end and i cant tell where footsteps are half the time

[wet sky]

I lag

even more cause of it

40 fps gaming

[rugged crane]

oof

i get 40 on streets with the snow

50 on a good day

[wet sky]

I get like 60-70 on most maps

when standing still

But after 30 min in raid the RAM is gg

[rugged crane]

i dont check my fps in game often but when i do it sits around 70-85 fps while running around

on the medium sized maps

[wet sky]

Running around i get like 40

[west plover]

will a bot scav randomly run for a moment and then stop?

[rugged crane]

yea

[wet sky]

But im building new pc in the next months

[rugged crane]

nice what specs?

[wet sky]

I7 14700k

[versed knot]

is it good idea for camp for first 20 minutes and then go for looting and doing quests on pmc?

[bronze inlet]

all the time

[wet sky]

64 gb ddr5 6400 mhz ram

[orchid isle]

oof

[wet sky]

And 4080 super

[bronze inlet]

that is a strat, yes

[bronze inlet]

god damn dude. build it yesterday???

[rugged crane]

ive tried to do chemical pt 1 so many time i either die or forget to turn in the item LOL

[wet sky]

Building it in like 2-3 months

And will buy gpa during summer

Gpu

[bronze inlet]

wait for next intel cpu or go amd. i have 17 14700k and its not that great tbh

[wet sky]

When does it come out?

Need the pc asap

[rugged crane]

i run a ryzen 5 3600x with 32gb of ddr4 ram and a evga 2060 12gb running tarkov doesnt seem to cause any problems performencec wise but i def should upgrade my cpu

[wet sky]

I have a shit prebuilt i got for my birthday like 3 years ago

[rugged crane]

personally i wouldnt buy a prebuilt id rather build my own

[wet sky]

Got it as gift so can’t really dictate that

[rugged crane]

yea fiar

fair*

[wet sky]

Thats why im building one

[rugged crane]

i built mine about 2 years ago now i started with a 1080 some old intel cpu and 16gbs of ram then i upgraded my whole build

not the best build but it does the trick

[wet sky]

Im gonna build one now and maybe buy the 15th gen if its good and fits my motherboard

[bronze inlet]

built this like less than a month ago

[wet sky]

Unlucky

[snow ginkgo]

Isn’t the cpu overkill for a 4070

[rugged crane]

4070 🙏

[rugged crane]

wish i had some rgb in my pc

[bronze inlet]

tarkov is CPU heavy

[wet sky]

I just need pc then my setup is meta

[tawdry widget]

My shit is pitch black

[rugged crane]

same LOL

i got all black parts

[snow ginkgo]

I meant like in general

I had mine prebuilt because it was just cheaper and easier in general

[wet sky]

Prebuilt as in you choose the parts or completely pre built

[bronze inlet]

freaking love my cpu cooler

[snow ginkgo]

Completely

[bronze inlet]

pre built means smoeone else picks and builts it

[wet sky]

I know

I worded it shitty

I meant like you pick they build

[snow ginkgo]

I know what you mean

[wet sky]

Yes

[rugged crane]

Shit pic cant help the glare unfortunately

[bronze inlet]

hate how that card looks

[rugged crane]

wym

[snow ginkgo]

it’s so small

[bronze inlet]

looks cheap and skinny, like depressing

[snow ginkgo]

Well it probably is

[tawdry widget]

💀

[rugged crane]

its a 350 dollar gpu i didnt make it

it was at least

[bronze inlet]

[snow ginkgo]

It’s probably like 50 bucks used now

[rugged crane]

yea sucks tbh

was gonna sell it for a newer card but cant do that

[bronze inlet]

just keep it as a 2nd display adapter

[wet sky]

Just keep it just in case

Something fucks up

[snow ginkgo]

It probably won’t go for much anyways

[rugged crane]

yea not gonna sell it for little to nothing

rather build a new pc with it or somthing

[wet sky]

Its what im gonna do

Build new and save old

[snow ginkgo]

My pcs case is fucking massive

[wet sky]

For emergency

[bronze inlet]

i have both of these lying around bc theyre cool af

[snow ginkgo]

What even is that

[wet sky]

I think about buying the tarkov gpu

Found one for like 10 dollars

[viral grail]

Gl with scopes

[wet sky]

Nah just to have

[snow ginkgo]

That thing isn’t gunna bitcoin mine shit

[west plover]

any recommendations on places to hide/afk on interchange til the time goes down so I can do some tasks?

[bronze inlet]

oh... yeah that doesnt work on interchange

[ashen crypt]

Isn’t interchange like super easy to just rat in though?

[strong flume]

need help trying to learn tarkov

im terrible keep dying on customs

[ashen crypt]

Customs is a meat grinder idk why they put so many early quests there

I’ve had luck sticking to the part where dorms isn’t

[silent crown]

lets team up lol im on the same page

[west plover]

I was thinking maybe underground in the mall... there's probably a corner I could hide in behind something, but main issue is scavs locking on to me lol. Can't imagine any other place being even somewhat safe. Even the highway(?) that co-op extract is on wouldn't be super safe since I've seen people hug the edge of the map around there

[silent crown]

who wants top team up im lvl 10

[strong flume]

sure.

[fading island]

just a quick question is a terragroup meeting key rare? i know its used at ground zero at the top of the terragroup meeting

[west plover]

it's worth about 34k rubles https://tarkov-market.com/item/terragroup_meeting_room

[fading island]

i assume the loot in the terragroup meeting room is very good?

[snow ginkgo]

I thought it was in streets

[west plover]

yeah, looks to be a streets map key. Can get intelligence folders from that room supposedly but idk if it's a guaranteed spawn. Streets is doodoo imo though https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/TerraGroup_meeting_room_key

[fading island]

i just looked it up yea its streets

[tawdry widget]

Go afk in one of the dressing rooms

[snow ginkgo]

Yea it’s a good key intelligence spawns in there

[fading island]

i hate streets so much i know forest and ground zero like the back of my hand but thats about it

[snow ginkgo]

I’ve gotten like 2 intelligence folder in that room

[thorn rose]

What does percentage in the Bunker Hermetic Door mean?

[edgy plover]

Chance for extract campers

[thorn rose]

😄

[edgy plover]

I don't think anyone knows what it actually means

seems totally random

[bronze inlet]

nothing at all

[dull wind]

Is there anyone in EU who could help me get my lighthouse quests done (water treatment)

[meager shell]

What backpacks can you use with the sewer manhole extract?

[dull wind]

none
