[bronze inlet]

if you like using pistols

[stark turtle]

Do services (clothing) count to unlocking rep with the Ragman?

[bronze inlet]

idk, lmk

[woeful spruce]

If you are really good at tapping heads in semi auto then sure but if youre good at that then you might as well use literally any other gun too. The stm is fun for sure but i dont think it has any practical advantage whatsoever over any full auto 9mm

[soft tapir]

Im not that good at tapping heads, just seems like a fun weapon to run

[bronze inlet]

its only good for tapping heads lmao, its a semi auto pistol lol

[woeful spruce]

It's esentially a very low recoil glock that takes a primary slot instead of secondary

Which is fun i have to give it that

[soft tapir]

in that case ill just run a full auto 9mm then

ill try running STM for a raid or two just to get a feel for it

[bold kernel]

Hello! I'm extremely new to ground zero and cannot navigate it one bit, even after a map video. Would anyone be able to help me complete the first 3 tasks for Prapor and so on and maybe teach me how to navigate the map? Thanks!

[soft tapir]

if you cant learn GZ you are gonna have a tough time in every other map

just sayin

[bronze inlet]

top and bottom are the per side extracts, tarbank and capital insight are the mounted guns, terragroup is the mole/scientist!

[bold kernel]

Thanks! Actually I've played Tarkov back when it first came out quite a lot so I know by heart maps all maps up to Reserve basically, it's just that lately I barely have time to play more than a couple raids a day, that's why it's hard to learn new maps 😭

[tender prism]

When does skier sell the Burris FullField TAC30? ll?

[tender prism]

On the flee it says skier sells it aswell

[bronze inlet]

hover over the locked thing

[soft tapir]

whats the best 9mm gun for mid range

[tender prism]

Oh, thanks. Its after a quest

[tender prism]

Alr, gotchu. Thanks :)

[wet axle]

no? why not just any full auto gun

[wet axle]

best screw driver for hammering nails?

9mm is generally not good at mid range

[soft tapir]

alright

[south wave]

It's pretty cool that EFT BSG has a sherpa program right on their website.

[orchid junco]

How bad is the cheating situation in this game? I am considering getting it but have read some bad things online and want to ask the community

[south wave]

There is some cheating, and some include auto aim, vaccuming loot to their location etc. last I checked

@orchid junco The game is still definetely worth considering.

[solid topaz]

There is a lot of vacuum cheats on EU.

[orchid junco]

more worried about the loot vacuuming. If I get the game I just want to be rich

run around and loot rare shit thats all i want

[south wave]

@Rooster You'll be fine most times. The loot is still their for the most part.

[orchid junco]

okay thank you, im NAE as well so will likely have a similar experience

[solid topaz]

On EU it is such a big problem that when you finally get into a raid where there isn't a vacuum hacker it feels like Christmas

[south wave]

I can only say that this game is quite challenging so be prepared to die multiple times even when you have nice loot.

[orchid junco]

and have time to play weekdays, as a business major im sure its business dads that are turning on their dysons and selling all the loot as a side hustle

when they arent at work

[solid topaz]

Nah. We don't do that

Cheaters are kids

[south wave]

On weekdays I have around 3-4 hours available to me to play Tarkov.

per day that is

[torn rapids]

stop spreading misinformation lmao

[south wave]

Weekends it ranges from all day to a few hours if I am not doing side hustling for extra dough

[torn rapids]

i played on eu for 8 hours yesterday, no vaccume hackers once

[solid topaz]

To put into perspective the crew I play with are all lvl 30-40 and out of the 5 of us only me and one other has found the 3 GPU for farming 4.

[torn rapids]

you've got the tarkov brain rot

[solid topaz]

Imagine how demotivating it is to be lvl 40 and have 1 GPU in your name.

Tf is wrong with you today?

[torn rapids]

because what you're saying is simply not true

[south wave]

It's okay, let's just accept wrong info as a way to learn what is true.

[solid topaz]

And you believe that having a different opinion is eligible for you to behave vile?

[torn rapids]

you're spreading tarkov brain worms claiming there's tons of cheaters specifically in EU.
there is not, there's cheaters in every region. If cheaters were really holding you back from finding GPUs don't you think Kappa would be impossible to get?

[slow rose]

Anyone know when snow goes away

[solid topaz]

Also I won't continue discussing this particular matter with you. I don't engage with toxicity.

[slow rose]

?

[torn rapids]

when it stops snowing outside

[slow rose]

its not where im at

[torn rapids]

wait till spring

[solid topaz]

I don't know if there has been any news about that. It may last for the whole wipe.

[south wave]

I wish I could see my assailants for once =/ Lol

I must just not be positioning properly, that's all

I wonder if there's a post fx chart where you can see what most people set it to; I know most people suggest cognac

[tawny mesa]

worst feeling ever

fucking extract campers

[dry flint]

Rip, Big oof. what map?

[tawny mesa]

woods

[dry flint]

Ouch, schturman kill or found in the rare spawns?

[tawny mesa]

car spawn in usec checkpoint

[south wave]

@tawny mesa I'm new to items, you're probably referring to not being able to get "found in raid" for that violet thing?

[tawny mesa]

yea

died with it in my pouch

so i cant sell it on flea for 14 million

[south wave]

14 mill o.o

[bold kernel]

should i sell my ledx or wait until i unlock the flee market?

[south wave]

Depends on the margins, what does it go for with traders compared to fleamarket?

[bold kernel]

well it goes for 611k on traders

[south wave]

level 15 if you're not hesitating to play your pmc should be a fast 15 levels.

[bold kernel]

on market i dont know

[cold flower]

Someone mind explaining?

[flat cipher]

tarkov market says its worth 3.8 to therapist

[south wave]

@bold kernel Seems like averaging 1m rubles in flea

[tawny mesa]

feel like its more worth to use it at that point

[bold kernel]

ok ill hold on to it for now thank you

[flat cipher]

he bled out ig

[torn rapids]

run it

[cold flower]

How did he bleed out (a scav) while I headshotted him?

[torn rapids]

helmet

[cold flower]

Fix this game Nikita I fucking beg

[orchid junco]

what if i get an eu account i know it would let me launch the game in the us but would i be playing on eu servers or NA? I want to buy an eod account lol

[torn rapids]

i headshot a scav w/AP-20 and he bled out =)

[cold flower]

He was bald as fuck, if that's a helmet I don't know buddy

[south wave]

Must've been a hemorage with a helmet shot that allowed the scav to live shortly

[torn rapids]

dont buy accounts

most of them are bought with stolen credit cards and will eventually get charged back

and you'll lose the game + your money

and support wont help you

[orchid junco]

dayum word

i want eod womp womp i guess lol

[south wave]

I wonder if I could transfer my new e-mail to the game. I don't really use the e-mail I use to have when I bought Tarkov.

[orchid junco]

is prepare for escape version worth?

[south wave]

Support should be able to make my new e-mail the one

[torn rapids]

no

honestly just buy standard and wait till they release the new version of EOD

[hollow cipher]

Can someone drop me an AWL in return for some money? been trying forever and cant find one. Progression locked until then 😭

[orchid junco]

i want

[torn rapids]

no one can

you cant drop awls in raid

search toolboxes and duffels on reserve

[hollow cipher]

Thankyou

[orchid junco]

couldn't i just upgrade from prep for escape to the new eod when it's released?

for like the same price as it would be to just buy new eod

[torn rapids]

probably

but you could save money now haha

[orchid junco]

i mean if ill spend it later anyway id rather have the benefits now lmfao

fuck it ill give the russians my money wish me luck on my first raid gamers 🙂

[south wave]

I must be using my gpu wrong, I still get 90 fps in-game.

[slow rose]

whats best map for making money as beginner

[south wave]

Beginner; money; surviving the journey?

Hmm...

I'm leaning towards Reserve

assuming you know the map

If you know no maps, money making would probably be decent in Ground Zero...or Customs...

[flat cipher]

streets

just run scavs

map is impossible to not make money on

[copper moon]

and you most of the time spawn really early in the raid too

like 5 minutes after pmcs

[south wave]

did control changes earlier and I must've hit lmb somewhere else, I was in a fight and couldn't shoot xD

[torn rapids]

customs/woods

woods probably better if you wait a wee bit

most of the players are concentrated around saw mill

[flat cipher]

did you put the wrong ammo in your mags or something

[south wave]

No, literally lmb was off

set it back to lmb fire and forgot to save, still no shooting

Lol

[random flint]

is this good ? XD

i just killed like 8 PMCs and got all that stuff

[solar blaze]

[copper moon]

where are you nearby, are you underground, in a garage, etc?

[glossy bison]

Every single time i queue for streets of tarkov its the most horrible experience of my life how does one play this map

[fervent raft]

it takes some time to learn it

[clever wraith]

Anyone got rusted bloody key? Just want to be done with this quest 😛

[fervent raft]

it hardly spawn

and the quests leads to nothing

[solar blaze]

[fervent raft]

[copper moon]

yep, that was also an option, but it depended where you were on the map- gj getting out.

[flat cipher]

don't even bother doing it

if you're standard edition it's not worth the effort

you get negative rep and it's not much xp

it also doesn't lead anywhere

[copper moon]

generally no, what is your pc configuration

[fervent raft]

no you should always use that

[copper moon]

Most likely it is the cpu on that one, when I had an 8700k the game still struggled at times- You can however lower settings to find an optimal operation of the game

The other question is it playable, especially during combat- if it is, then it may be less of an issue

[agile hornet]

for recoil on a weapon, should it be lower or a higher number

[copper moon]

lower is better, ergo being higher is better, generally these go hand in hand

[agile hornet]

ok thank you

Why is one 45k and the other 90k? I c heck the parts but they all seem to be the same

[copper moon]

durability most likely, oh wait thats the barter bug

[dry flint]

its bugged since the new patch. just buy the cheaper one. they have no difference

[agile hornet]

ah ok

[dry flint]

I wouldnt recommend any 556 guns early unless you are USEC. bullet availability is hard to gett by even with the flea

[agile hornet]

Ye i started usec, i have allot of 855

Also need to spend some money on skier and peacekeeper

so I was thinking of running adars

[south wave]

I feel ya chungus.

[desert laurel]

I was wondering if someone could give me a pointer. When playing pmc i'm able to kill just about every scav I encounter, but nearly any time i am in a raid i die to a pmc, so i only do scav runs, does anyone have any tips for how to better handle players? do i need to slow down? speed up? carry 20 grenades to spam? whats a good lip

[south wave]

Did you do something bad?

Dunno, did you fail login multiple attempts?

Not sure, you could submit a support request

Seems fishy to me, but go and do a support request

Tarkov website

Deleted all his messages, that's also fishy.

[left summit]

can a rogue run out of ammo on the gl ? im stuck here rn, hes locked in on me

[south wave]

360 lock down or can you leave somewhere else

[left summit]

What you mean by 360 lock down ?

[south wave]

all sides compromised, can't leave area

you trying to avoid the rogue?

[left summit]

No i actualy need to pass trough there xD

[tawny mesa]

have a buddy scav in on your match and kill him

[left summit]

I think i just gone try to run at the parkinglot behind me

[worthy palm]

Hey, not sure if anyone will know what im talking about but yesterday at work i was on the eft reddit and i briefly seen a post about changing PC settings to improve lighting in dark areas but i cant find the post for the life of me. Would anyone know what its called/how to do it

[frail briar]

https://old.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/194zber/custom_icc_profiles_for_better_post_fx_brightness/

[worthy palm]

THATS THE ONE!! Thank you so much bud

[frail briar]

Just applied it, going to scav in and see how it looks

[bronze inlet]

RESERVE SCAV

[worthy palm]

Lmk how it goes

[soft tapir]

if its CPU bound, no amount of adjusting the settings will improve performance

source: i have an i5 8400 and an RX 6600XT

Turning off FSR can get you more FPS

[copper moon]

turning shadows down does work though

at least squeeze a few more fps

[soft tapir]

I suppose

[fickle swift]

anyone down for helping with a few ground zero quests ?

[soft tapir]

But personally I havent noticed any difference

[fickle swift]

seem to get near my quest and die

[soft tapir]

#pvp-lfg

[fickle swift]

my bad

[copper moon]

I noticed the most fps gains from changing from medium to low was on streets, gained about 15-20 fps. Then again my bottleneck is probably my gpu, as I have a 7900x and 64gb ram

[tulip vine]

anyone know how to check total hours played

[soft tapir]

If your bottleneck is your GPU then of course you will notice a difference, you just dont have much settings to play with (if at all) if you are CPU bound.

But each system is different, and my knowledge just applies generally

[copper moon]

Should be the first page on the character tab, shows time played to the right and under that how long the account has been active this wipe

if wanting to check a player you have to search their username in the friends tab, and then view profile.

[delicate cairn]

First wipe going for kappa trying to do the guide if anyone wants to join

[woeful spruce]

What strat are you taking? Labs and factory first or last? I persoanlly do the hardest maps for me first but leave labs for last to not have to buy cards every time i die

[tulip vine]

is there a place where electric motor spawns frequently

[copper moon]

Back of Interchange, sometimes I find them on Reserve in the garages, I think they can also spawn in toolboxes as well- there may be better spawns than this, but this is what comes to mind

[analog otter]

hey guys im super new lmao and tired of not knowing where to go even with a map any chance somone wants to help with these ground zero missions? im in lfg beginner 11

thanks

[woeful spruce]

I would love to but ground zero is available only untill lvl 20 so cant guide you, but good luck

[fossil tapir]

are there more campers on the weekends?? havent made it out alive in any of 10 pmc runs because of campers ...

[leaden wigeon]

is there a way through this building where my blue arrow is? the red area is my kryptonite and I would LOVE to avoid it. Any suggestions?

[bold kernel]

Quick question, I'm doing Introduction and I can't seem to find Jaeger's envelope (I found the hunting hut, nut the envelope isn't there) I'm not used to the snow since last time I did this quest Woods wasn't covered in it, tips? Where's that envelope?

[versed knot]

wtf is wrong with people i play scav, there is 5 min left to end of session and pmc are still fighting in the middle of the map

[bronze inlet]

its there, just blends in with the snow

[bronze inlet]

its fun

[velvet path]

can i do survivalist path zhivchik in ground zero?

[fervent hornet]

Yes u can do it at any map

[velvet path]

bet

[bold kernel]

If you can find a pic of the specific location with snow it'd be amazing

[woeful spruce]

There is just more people playing which also means more people on an avergae raid. And so more chances of campers. Also mamy players who have jobs and families play only on weekends and they usually dont have the high octane chad playstyle cause their limited time doesnt allow them to do that. So there might ve more rats and campers for that reason too

[velvet path]

When I kill someone their gun and armor and stuff isnt found in raid?

[woeful spruce]

Yes

[tawny mesa]

same, lost a violet to a 4 man extract camping woods

[woeful spruce]

Every item brought into raid by another pmc or yourself isnt found in raid

[bold kernel]

I swear to god it wasn't there (I made double sure to have the task accepted, even checked in raid)

[bronze inlet]

it should be called "spawned in raid" bc its not about being found, its wether or not it literally was created by that raid start

[bronze inlet]

try again and take a ss

[bold kernel]

doing rn

[woeful spruce]

Yea, good piont really. But its gotta be included that its not just items that spawned at the beginning as playerscavs also join the raid later with everything found in raid

[bronze inlet]

that is spawned in the raid tho

[vapid flower]

can anyone help me with ground zero tasks?

[versed knot]

as fuck

[fervent hornet]

Hello, i looking for help and players to run some Reserve, for quests on scav and raiders. I am not good at PvP, but i would love to find someone who can also run this map until we finish this quests. it really hard to complete those alone. I play on EU and NA servers, at nights mostly(i am from EU myself so for NA it will be prime time)
Also looking for players on Customs to complete PMC's kills with shotgun
(English is not my natieve lenguage, i hope it will not be a problem in voice chat)

[shy berry]

id be down

[trim osprey]

Hi, sorry I'm new here.
I have a question about a weird audio queue I hear while playing.

Often times I would here a weird static sound queue like some sort of radio..? What does that sound queue mean?? Is it my microphone picking up? or something else?

[wanton kettle]

Hey everyone, where can I find the christmas tree ornaments? Need it for a task.

[weary scarab]

Is there a way to tell if a boss is in the raid like there was last wipe?

[worldly moat]

is there a way to retreive items for a quest you cant finish in time exemple :

i know i should just have waited to the end to give but i thought i had enouth but in fact didnt

[weary scarab]

no

once you turn it in its joever for te items

[worldly moat]

ok i guess that's stupid but ok

[shy berry]

you can only do that when you get bitcoin miners up with your GPU

[mental sun]

PLEASE TELL ME what happens if I crash immediately after extracting

[worldly moat]

that doesnt make sense

[mental sun]

the screen started to go dark after the timer hit zero and it closed the game PLEASE WHAT HAPPENS

[spiral spoke]

hello huge beginner here, i died 7 times while trying to extract with jaegers encrypted msg got camped every time… anyone here down to help me later?

[hexed dirge]

if you’re extracting at outskirts, it’s just kinda coin flip

[dim prairie]

just relog should reconnect

[dim prairie]

i had issue with also pas few days campers at 3 extract or a team of 2 or 3 cant kill em all

[spiral spoke]

thats the only extract i know on woods

[worldly moat]

do you have a map for woods on the side ?

[spiral spoke]

nope im on my laptop im still struggling on what side of the sniper stone the envelope is

im like honestly bad bad at the game

[worldly moat]

like everyone starting here

exept pestily chad from first raid

[spiral spoke]

yeh maybe but i can‘t hear on my left ear and thats a struggle on top

[hexed dirge]

i’m deaf and i have nerve damage too but im@still like 40% survival

[spiral spoke]

chad

[hexed dirge]

you just need some practice 🙂

the car and roadblock are close to the message if you get those

[weary scarab]

Does anyone have any tips for securing the THICC Weapons case from jaeger 4? Shit sells out before its even stocked

[worldly moat]

sometimes when i queue into a game, its fresh and puts me right at the start of a fresh timer and new loot.

Sometimes i join with 10 minutes remaining.

[tawny mesa]

you mean as a scav?

[astral juniper]

PMC = always start
SCAV = varying from anything 5mins left to 5min from fresh start

[slate dust]

I see. Why is it that way for a scav?

[astral juniper]

to make it random and give PMCs some time to actually play

shit CPU

[cosmic yarrow]

alright 😄

will use my quantum cpu from google

[soft tapir]

is there a craft for electronic components

[tawny mesa]

might have looked away or you killed them to late

[copper root]

killed them 2-5 seconds from throwing, also does it matter if they looked away or not if the stun goes off right on top of them?

Right click, linked search

love getting killed by other pscavs as a scav -_-

he just watched me loot and shot me in the head

why is there not a bigger penalty for that lmao

[unkempt egret]

You need a 30mm ring mount to put that scope in, that ring mount then goes on (most) picatiny rails. Right click linked search to find related components such as the ring mount.

[wet drift]

yup

[slate dust]

either sniped, bled out, exhausted, etc

[undone phoenix]

The worst is when ur a scav u kill a pmc and u have to watch as another pscav also loots the body u earned.. and if u dont want scav hostility or bad scav rep u just gotta let it happen:/

fucking hell man

[night zealot]

what are some good keys for ledx spawns on shoreline

[fluid rain]

whats a good spot for an easy pmc kill?

[sullen kindle]

Do every PMC in the raid get same exact extracts ? For example on woods when you spawn in Outskirts you get UN Roadblock extract. Can a PMC spam at UN Roadblock and get a Outskirt extract in the same raid ?

[tawny mesa]

yes

[fluid rain]

on woods it always gives you the extract on the other side of the map from where you spawned

[sullen kindle]

I know that you get the extract on the opposite side of the map, but is someone else spawning in UN Roadblock with Outskirts extract in the same raid, or are we all spawning on the same side of the map

is there a way i can pay the 10k to heal in the menu since i clicked too fast and missed it

or i can just go into another raid naked and die right?

[past mauve]

yo im putting together this MP5 for Part 3 Mechanic quest and it's giving me this annoying bug

[queen warren]

not necessarily "easy", but the quickest way to seek out pmc kills is to spawn in on factory and push towards the nearest pmc spawn / gun sounds. if you die, then you just setup another kit really quickly and go again. if you survive, you can either stay and loot + farm scavs or you can extract with the PMC you killed's gear and then do it over again.

[queen warren]

You get (a not insignificant amount of) xp from healing yourself in your main menu inventory. If you have flea unlocked, just buy a full grizzly and use that. You're trading rubles for XP at that point, but it's a pretty good ratio. If you don't have the flea unlocked and don't want to pay the ratio from accessible healing items, then yeah maybe a good option is to just spawn in on factory and push towards pmc spawns. Maybe bring a pistol if you have one just in case you can pop a quick face and steal their kit.

But yeah it's something like 180xp for fully healing with a grizzly in your inventory after deaths. Which adds up quite a bit over time.

[median niche]

do scavs even spawn with these? as I see I can't craft them, or should I reroll?

[random flint]

IS the golden egg worth alot ?

[rapid ferry]

I had that same daily, found the body armor immediately but never ended up seeing any scavs with the ssh helmet, but im sure Ive seen one on a scav this wipe, but 6, idk might be worth rerolling. But then again, it's one of those items I'd just glaze over and completely ignore normally cause it's never worth looting so maybe they have them more often than I can recall

[crimson wharf]

like 50k

[tawdry maple]

whenever i run a good kit some shit like this happens https://medal.tv/games/escape-from-tarkov/clips/1UIyrlYQaZRSBD/d1337kX4AdNq?invite=cr-MSxjZXksMTkxNzgxNTE4LA

[keen fossil]

Bruh

That’s gotta suck

[clever echo]

first hacker clearly with esp ive ran into

[mental sun]

When you dont have the flea unlocked, what crafts in your hideout make a profit?

[tawdry maple]

dose anyone know how to get the helmet i was using ?

i found it on a pmc and want to use it again

[modest lava]

why is gunsmith 4 not appearing after i complete gunsmith 3? i restarted my game too

[tawdry maple]

there is a 24h cooldown

[modest lava]

oh okay, cause i didnt see that on the wiki

[mint light]

ragman 4 and questlocked

[shy coral]

is there a site that has a map of all keys and where the keys are?

[coral thistle]

Is woods always packed with max gear chads? I can’t do any tasks.

[mint light]

usually a bunch of homeless ppl with barebones aks

[dark perch]

How does scav spawning work, if there is a scav spawn, and none there atm, if i afk in the area do they just randomly pop up? how do they come around

[naive sapphire]

Whats the best map to find a spark plug

[clever echo]

is a 15.57 kd legit?

[tawdry maple]

it can be yes

there are many pro streamers with a 16+ kd

[mental sun]

Should I sell my ssd to trader? Should I sell it to fence or peacemaker?

[agile hornet]

can I sell all of this?

Or is there ammo thats rlly good in there

i think i filtered all the good ammo out

[shy berry]

better off keeping it

if you have nothign left something is better than nothing

[agile hornet]

Issue is that I have almost no space in my stash so I need to clear some stuff out 😭

[mint light]

all that ammo blows besides t46 u could get some used out of it

fmj aint bad but u only got 47

[agile hornet]

I sold the fmj on the flea, and put t46 on the side thanks

[slate dust]

why the fuck is using the signal flare exit so ridiculously convoluted, it got me killed

i couldnt equip the flare to use it on gz

[mint light]

why not

[slate dust]

idk

game said fuck you thats why

"could not find space to equip" or whatever

[tidal lagoon]

u put it in ur rig and keybind it

[mint light]

yeah

[slate dust]

so, again, extremely needlessly convoluted

i dont even know how to keybind things manually

right click > use should be as simple as it needs to be

[mint light]

gg go next

[slate dust]

just trying to get this stupid wine

and the only extracts are garbage

mira, vehicle, and some random basement one

[sly juniper]

ground zero?

[slate dust]

yep.

[agile hornet]

I practiced few times on ground zero to get the timing of flare extract right

[sly juniper]

been having the same issue last two times i couldnt even get the wine bottle to spawn

[agile hornet]

on a ofline raid

[slate dust]

it has like 6 spawns in the building

ive been finding them in the back storage

[agile hornet]

It always spawns it just has like 3-4 spawn spots

[fluid rain]

i only need one more for fftw pt1 so factory is a bit overkill imo but thanks for the tip

[sly juniper]

been looking and never there this game hates me lol

[slate dust]

i had good loot too, just straight up died to bad game design

[agile hornet]

issue is that the bottle doesnt look any different of the other bottles in there

makes it quite painfull

[sly juniper]

same my teammates all lvl 40s and up so they doing they own thing so running solo sucks lol

[merry cave]

is btr bugged? used it to send some stuff i found to hideout, and healed up. hopped out and as soon as i walked away he shot me in the back

[agile hornet]

I had the same issue, i coudnt play with my friends on that map either

[sonic compass]

sell or keep?

[mint light]

sell

[sonic compass]

im level 10

ok

[smoky plank]

What helmet is that?

Looks like the LShZ, am I wrong?

or TC-200X

[tough panther]

Na low level looking for someone to quest with

[slate dust]

what bothers me most is people who kill me, someone with literally nothing but knife, just bc they can

[austere hound]

Protip: never naked run. It's not worth it. Waste of your time

[slate dust]

im kinda poor rn

[austere hound]

Scav to afford a kit

[slate dust]

i dont wanna bring expensive stuff bc im just gonna loot it off the first guy i kill anyway

[austere hound]

So grab a paca and an mp5. Dirt cheap

Also, you can just fraud your kit and use theirs. It's always worth it to be running some sort of kit

[sonic compass]

lmao trying to play factory to get some usec kills and I keep getting merked by people 3x my level XD

im burning through all my looted weapons at an alarming rate

[slate trench]

Anyone have an idea why my frames drop to 50 or below anytime I use the 1x or 4x+ zoom on scopes like tac30, vudu, etc? I can use the red dot on top of a tac30 with no frame drops but the moment I swap to the tac30 itself my frames drop massively. I run around 70-80 on a red dot scope.

[solemn hazel]

nah nah nah, grab a Mosin, that thing even with bad ammo can 1-2 tap most armors to thorax

• the amount of 7.62x54R you can find is insane

[austere hound]

The highest armor you can pen with 54r and one tap thorax is level 2 armor I believe. It's a great 2 tap round though

[solemn hazel]

still an amazing starter weapon tho, good for comeups

[austere hound]

Agreed. So many people hate bolties, but I love'm

[fallow thicket]

Any one down to run some raids and task im a lv 9

[slate dust]

ANY NEW GUYS WANT SOME HELP NA

[slate dust]

gdi i killed a guy with a loaded backpack and an ai scav came up next to me and just fucking yoinked it

[finite sentinel]

nope

just cut your losses

thats why lots of people run hatchet runs on labs

[bold island]

ANY ONE NEW ANE NEED HELP I HAVE A DUO NA

[slate dust]

Can you barter items outside the junk box or do you have to take it out first

[astral glen]

You can do everything exactly the same if it’s in or out of the box; using, selling, upgrading, bartering, quest turn in, everything

And if it doesn’t let you select something manually, it prioritises non found in raid items first

[slate dust]

when does pier boat activate

[mint light]

it dosent

its either there at start or isnt

[slate dust]

it has ??????

[mint light]

move ur ass to railway soldier

[mint light]

it has what

[slate dust]

theres a sniper fight at edge of pier i cant

[slate dust]

next to pier boat it says "????"

[astral glen]

Yeah because as they just said it’s not always open

[vale ginkgo]

pier has a green smoke you can see from the shore im pretty sure if its open

[mint light]

if there aint no green smoke u gone cuh

[astral glen]

It’s not always green smoke

It’s a light on top of the boat too

[vale ginkgo]

cap i think

[mint light]

there is a flare next to it

type shi

[astral glen]

They have messed with it recently I’ve found it’s always open

Even though it says ???

Same with RUAF on customs

Used to not always be available but now it just is

[mint light]

ruaf was been always avaliable for a long ass time

since i started years ago

[astral glen]

Same with courtyard on streets

Even with no flare I’ve taken it out

It just works sometimes haha

[slate dust]

how large is the minefield

this is the road to railway

i died to them last time

[coral thistle]

Just a question for all. What’s your best tip you could give for new players? (Jokes are fine too, but fr fr)

[slate dust]

nvm i went around it

[slate dust]

uhhhhhh my experience dictates the very first thing is pick a map and like, figure out the exits

because the game is infinitely easier when you know where you are and where your exit is

[coral thistle]

Ngl I’m really liking ground zero. I’ve leaned it pretty well

[slate dust]

its a terrible map tbh

way too tiny with way too many people

customs is pretty friendly, ive learned that one a good bit

[mint light]

every new player hates it and every experienced player likes gz

[coral thistle]

I haven’t been getting killed by lvl far above me tho so that’s something lol

[slate dust]

a good compromise., has some close combat areas, some woods, and some open areas

[slate dust]

The experienced ones should just go play factory instead and leave the noobs alone

[neat osprey]

can someone help me with groud zero tasks or jager message

[mint light]

ok so just dont do our tasks awesome

[fervent raft]

PLAY FACTORY?

its where all the new players get hardstuck

cause they dont know how to extract other maps

[ivory saddle]

brainrot message

[mint light]

lol

[ivory saddle]

just makes zero sense what he's saying to be honest

[slate dust]

well its either the new players dont get any tasks bc they cant do them on gz

or the experienced players dont have SOMe tasks

[mint light]

huh

[slate dust]

i mean the REAL solution is to just make the map not trash

also, been getting major screen tearing and idk why

[versed grotto]

Only level 3 and been playing about 8hrs this week.
Managed to get all of my 3 exfils today raking down 3-4 people in the process.
Small victories for sure

[slate dust]

same here, big w

[versed grotto]

Been rinse and repeating Ground Zero for every run. Feel very confident where exfkls are bht the map as bad as it maybe. Is always gold to have up

[mint light]

wait till u get forced to play shoreline holy

[slate dust]

i just did a "survive shoreline" task lmao

[versed grotto]

Yep.. that's a no from me. Heard its just pain

[slate dust]

tips for managing stash other than put things in backpacks and rigs? I feel like i need to ditch all the ammo for guns im not currently using, as well as most extra med supplies for the cash

if i go on another run and survive i have literally no place to put the stuff

[agile hornet]

💀

Im waiting for lvl21 so i unlock a bunch of shoreline quests

[agile hornet]

Place backpacks of the same size on eachother

And if you have a shitload of weps, take mags and pistolgrip off

Also mags of guns you dont use, might aqwell get rid of it

And try to save a few zuk rigs to trow in small objects

[icy latch]

Sell the red crossed items, for the green one: Sell the gun but keep the grenade luncher. Turn the shotgun in to prapor for quest

[agile hornet]

Find them easy on scavs, they take in same size as commandos but have more space inside

[slate dust]

thats the semi auto,

ive done the quest already

[icy latch]

deput?

oh then are you keeping the gun for gun smith 2?

[slate dust]

ive done the prapor shotgun quest already

[slate dust]

gunsmith 1 requires i upgrade one

[icy latch]

oh i forgor

[slate dust]

idk where ill get the attachments tho

[agile hornet]

Ye need skier or peacekeeper lvl2

1 of the 2

You can buy all parts then from traders

[slate dust]

yeah thatll be a bit im not level 15 yet

[agile hornet]

Just take your time with that, i also finished those by fleamark mostly

[slate dust]

i need to do some woods tasks but ive never done woods before

need to get jaegars not and stuff

[agile hornet]

Hmm its a difficult map to get to know your starting pos sometimes

Could practice with a few ofline raids on it

[agile hornet]

Dont be scared to die

[coral thistle]

Oh I know death happens a lot. Only scary part, is when it’s quiet af and it’s a jump scare. lol

[agile hornet]

Ye i pref if there is allot of fighting on the map

Then I know where I shoudnt be

😅🤣

[fallen storm]

how much ram does street need for good fps?

[agile hornet]

Maybe another tip aswell, normal walk speed is broken. Only run on certain points (open spaces), but if you are between foilage walking is just fine.

[agile hornet]

Honestly depends a bit on how good the pc you got is, my gpu and cpu are bit outdated but I run all maps just fine with 32gigs

[fallen storm]

I have good pc but only 16gb ram 3200mhz

and in street i get 50 frames

even everything on low

[agile hornet]

Hmm you could go for 32gigs of ram upgrade honestly you got ddr4 right? They should be quiete cheap i think

[fallen storm]

so you run streets on above 60 fps with 32gb?

[agile hornet]

Then again I cant promise it would solve you issue as the map runs like thrash

[agile hornet]

Ill check tmrw and let you know

[fallen storm]

ait ty

[agile hornet]

Actually nvm ill boot up the pc

I need to know

[fallen storm]

haha okay

[agile hornet]

what you use to show fps?

or can I do it through the game?

[fallen storm]

Yeah

use tilde

[agile hornet]

hopefully I get in

[fallen storm]

same

[agile hornet]

im also playing 52-55

actually nvm when i started moving ity went up to 61-63

sometimes a frame drop tho

but then again this map runs like thrash

[fallen storm]

But does it feel smooth?

even with 60

[agile hornet]

ye does

except the framedrop

but feels good to run

then again idk if 32gigs would solve your issue

but I upgraded to 32 and it solved my fps problem

[tacit widget]

How do I do Factory without getting killed off of spawn by people spawning near me or getting killed off spawn by my own group members.

[agile hornet]

why are your own groupmembers killing you?

that shoudnt be allowed 😅.

[tacit widget]

Idk, every group I've loaded into, I've been shot in the back of the head within 5 seconds.

[agile hornet]

like randoms?

or people you talk to on discord

[tacit widget]

Yeah.

[agile hornet]

you shoudnt go into raids with random people

like invited without being in a vc or something

also factory is a small map so be prepared that its most of the time pvp

you dont know anyone you could play with?

[tacit widget]

Second question, why are all of my dailies "Go to Factory and don't get shot in the back of the head" because I could speedrun getting shot in the back of the head.

[tacit widget]

Nope.

[agile hornet]

what lvl are you?

cuz else I would recommend #sherpa-info then you can que up with a veteran player who knows how to explain most of the basics

Its a real pain if you try to do everything alone at the start

and some professional help woudnt hurt honestly

[pseudo helm]

can anyone help me kill zryachiy

i can kill him but the mines i cant do

[agile hornet]

they also might get you into offline raids to practice with them

[tacit widget]

I think I'll just cry for a bit and then try again.

Because anxiety is a bitch.

[agile hornet]

ok, do know that you dont have to learn everything alone and if you need help the sherpa's are there to help new players getting into the game

and dont join random groups they will always team kill you

🤣😅

[bright crane]

What should I focus on doing at the beginning ?

[icy terrace]

After doing Your Car neds Service from Peacekeeper

[icy terrace]

[bold kernel]

can anyone one help me run a few raids i tried joining a group as PMC and the last group i was in killed me

[icy terrace]

[fallow oasis]

how do you upgrade the inventory😭

[icy terrace]

In the hideout, on the "stash" area

done. still not.

took off flashlight too

[agile hornet]

take of sprut

and put flash on without sprut

I mean laser

it has to be a laser

[whole thistle]

^^

ergo is low

that might be why

[slate dust]

i did do the laser

how do you fuix ergo?

[whole thistle]

yeah but take off the flashlight and sprut theyre not required

just put the laser straight on the foregrip

[agile hornet]

and a durability of 60.0 or higher!

[slate dust]

how do i increase ergo

[agile hornet]

show me a pic of how the shotty looks like now?

[slate dust]

queueing up

[agile hornet]

ah ok

[crisp berry]

Do crafted items count as found in raid?

[agile hornet]

yes

[whole thistle]

its just the extra parts you have on that are reducing it

[whole thistle]

yea

[crisp berry]

heck yeah

[slate dust]

done still wont let me turn in

[whole thistle]

it has the quest check mark on it it should

[slate dust]

thats found in raid, no?

[whole thistle]

not if its yellow

just go to the task and check for the turn in button

[agile hornet]

weird you cant turn this in

@slate dust The check mark is because the gun is for the quest. You still need to mod it to the specs mechanic wants. look up a youtube video. It will show you what you need to change on it

can i get some help with lighthouse task

[copper root]

can i call in an airdrop with 10 minutes left on the raid?

[turbid dune]

I wouldnt lul

[soft tapir]

where can i find electronic components

or is there a craft for it

[copper root]

why

[soft tapir]

ive seen an airdrop come in at 10min or so, most people would be making their way to extracts so i guess its fine

[turbid dune]

Ive had them not come before id rather call it in earlier so i have time to search and sort in peace lol esp if something heavy turns up, dont want to have to drop shit to get to extract in time lmao

[copper root]

how do you loot and not get sniped in the head if you call early

[turbid dune]

Call it in desolate areas, plus you can bait it if you're worries, you don't have it loot it instantly the loots not going anywhere

[soft tapir]

how accurate does the airdrop crate thing land relative to the flare?

[turbid dune]

Ive found its pretty accurate unless it doesnt have the room to be

[soft tapir]

thats so odd

was playing streets yesterday and the crate landed next to me and my duo

no one was near us, and we didnt see the flare

[turbid dune]

Im pretty sure random airdrops till happen

[soft tapir]

ah

[turbid dune]

They used to happen more often when they first introduced it but now its less often but still happens

[soft tapir]

yeah

that makes sense then

[bold kernel]

yo so i got a bitcoin on streets should i sell it?

hey I have a rangefinder, it keeps not working, like I will get one and it will just show no numbers like a glitch or something? Is this all range finders or is there a way to fix? Do they have like a use number or something?

bruh im literally so full i cant even fit my scav run loot into my stash

would this be considered a first world problem??

Where did you do that scav @tulip kettle

[tulip kettle]

i only play streets and labs

[woven girder]

How come my scavs never look like this 🫤

[split copper]

hey i have a question

is there a difference between the different flashlight and lasers?

i know the blue tac laser is super thick and obvious

[tulip kettle]

not really no

except some of the are infared only

[vale ginkgo]

wiki says no difference in terms of hipfire

[tulip kettle]

so you can only see with night vision

[split copper]

gotcha, so there's no difference between the baldrpro and the x400

[tulip kettle]

ye

just buy the cheaper one

[split copper]

so just buy the cheapest and you're all set

[woven girder]

No stat difference only color of laser etc

[velvet egret]

why is factory exit key so expensive?

[split copper]

because it's very important

[velvet egret]

so keep it?

[split copper]

if it's your first one, then yes

[velvet egret]

ty

[split copper]

to get out of factory and to cross customs

it unlocks 3 locked exits out of factory, potentially saving you from extract campers. It also unlocks a shortcut through the middle of dorms

you can also "refill" the uses on the key using jaeger's barter for 3 iskra's and an MRE

so once you have one you should never run out

[velvet egret]

ahhh yes i have that key i remember now. ty for explaining

[velvet egret]

oh wow this is very useful to know

[split copper]

oh if you already have it then sell for sure

[velvet egret]

forgot it was in my customs keychain

[split copper]

yea cuz now you don't need to worry about buying another one if you just stock up 3 isk's and an MRE

just don't use it up fully

I am USEC. My hall of fame has (all BEAR tags) 46-44-39-35-33-32 and I get 1.248% combat leveling bonus. When I swap the 32 for a 45 (also BEAR), my combat leveling bonus goes down to 0.936%.

Is there something I'm not understanding or is this just buggy?

you need to be the one that got the kill

refresh it in the flea as teh timer runs out. i got red rebel today doing that

[worldly maple]

is there anything i could of done? because this feels bullshit

[edgy plover]

1. Not played lighthouse
2. Not been on the main road
3. You could have seen him and shot him

[worldly maple]

i spawned exactly where the video starts

[edgy plover]

Yea I think playing LH was where you went wrong

[split copper]

lmao

[worldly maple]

how to identify his whereabouts? its a surpressed rifle firing from a unknown position. to look for him is to slow down to look which is certain death. feels like a awful spawn design

[split copper]

i think you juked a bit toooo much

but that's like, the nitpickiest thing

[edgy plover]

Yea you couldn't have seen him, LH is a very open narrow map. Bound to happen

[worldly maple]

i dont think ive spawned once near the lighthouse side of the map and survived. i scav lighthouse for the rogue loot which has earned me a pretty penny. but when its lighthouse side its always some sniper thats just watching the 3 whole scav spawns in the entire region. makes me feel like im playing container on call of duty with how few spawns there are in that part of the map. to say nothing else of how dam exposed they are too

[rough rain]

Where do i get cheap decent 5.56 ammo? Flea is expensive asf

[stuck lichen]

level up peacekeeper 3 for m855 and craft SOST at workbench 2 to topload

[rough rain]

Thanks, ive been buying fmj from fence for a while as its much cheaper there than on flea.

[stuck lichen]

you can unlock FMJ from PK2 by completing tiger safari on customs

[onyx plank]

Yeah. I would stick with ak or 9x19 until peacekeeper 3

And then do revision lighthouse as soon as possible for m80 unlock at pk3

[rough rain]

FMJ has been treating me really well honestly, I head eyes a chad who had an 7.62 mdr and gzhel with an adar

Thats true it does have shitty pen

[onyx plank]

Yeah, might as well use a ammo that’s cheaper if you’re going only for head eyes, it will be the same result

If you like the Adar tho then yea you don’t have many options

Other than pk3 or buy the ammo

Pk3 is luckily one of the earlier unlocks so just focus his quest as soon as you get them

IS THE GAME GOING DOWN AT 2AM?

soory caps

[velvet egret]

i dont like armored rigs

[onyx plank]

Armored rig is usually more cost efficient

[little flicker]

I dont think any rigs cover thorax correct me if im wrong - so youre sacrificing alot of protection when you run an armored rig but its cheaper

[onyx plank]

They do cover your thorax, armored rigs rarely cover your stomach unless it’s the osprey or tactec

Which im@not even sure if those do

And the other budget ones, tv 110 etc have less coverage than a regular armor on the thorax

[little flicker]

all of it? I havent seen an armored rig with a collar but maybe a 6b variant or somethin?

[onyx plank]

No it won’t cover all of it but it does cover some

I’m not sure if any armored rig covers the neck I’d have to check

But cost efficieny/space armored rigs are always better

Performance wise tho I prob wouldn’t use an armored rig other then the osprey unless I was on a red tebel@map

[little flicker]

I just run kirasa with t4

[onyx plank]

Yea I do similar, I run the green cermic with lvl 5 front plate

And wear a black rock

Kinda hard to measure price per performance, but I always run armor and black rock other than the osprey so yea..

[undone phoenix]

I run whatevee armour i make it out of a scav run with

[onyx plank]

🫡 a true marine

[undone phoenix]

Lol sometimes its nothing but a gun

Been attempting the RB-VO marked key to no avail. Been getting tons of scav kills tho lol

[onyx plank]

Is that in black pawn or behind the train station

[undone phoenix]

Train station i belive

[onyx plank]

Oh that one isn’t too contested so shouldn’t be so bad

You should buy the keys for under the train station too

[undone phoenix]

I keep spawning oppostie side of map lol

[onyx plank]

Ah rip

[undone phoenix]

Im only lvl 13. Dont have the flea yet.

Just found the key in a raid luckly

[onyx plank]

Ah rip reserve is tragic without red rebel

[soft tapir]

where exactly in interchange do i go for electronic components

[undone phoenix]

Tech stores, idea has a little office to the left of the store. Howel has a bunch of just junk parts around

[undone phoenix]

Reserve feels just hostile af regardless. Lol lost 2 good kits to key runs so far

Dont wanna lose my kitted mk47 or rpd

[onyx plank]

Rasmussen, techxko, tech light, idea, the room across from mantis

[onyx plank]

Yeah it is

[soft tapir]

thanks

[onyx plank]

No

Np*

[winged relic]

whats this N?

[onyx plank]

Sorry it’s not across from mantis, it is the store across from the medical housing that needs a key

It’s by mantis

[tranquil pike]

Game is currently going thru the 14.1.0 update, it was posted 15 minutes ago in the #eft-announcements

[soft tapir]

ah, id be scaving in so yeah

[onyx plank]

If you’re scavving def loot oli, and oli side rooms with the computers

[soft tapir]

yep

i remember now

[rough rain]

is upgrading to prepare for escape edition worth it?

[errant notch]

i upgraded only for the bigger stash

imo it was worth it

[hazy veldt]

if you're doing key runs, just do cheapo smg?

[onyx plank]

Yep

If it gives trader rep its 100% worth it

Also depends on how long you see yourself playing Tarkov

But giving a better secure container, stash space, and if it gives trader rep yea I’d say it’s super worth it

It will save you a lot of time

[sharp verge]

I'm just about ready to buy Prepare2escape cos I'

have hit my threshold for spending on games

[heady meteor]

They are adding stash upgrade in shop today, no need to update

[sharp verge]

yeah but trader rep

• secure container beta

[heady meteor]

Wich edition ?

[sharp verge]

prepare to escape

[heady meteor]

How much rep do u gain ?

[sharp verge]

In the near future, the in-game stash expansion and access to the practice co-op mode will become available for purchase in the profile page on the official Escape from Tarkov website

Also in the near future

so not immediately after this update

I've no idea

but for me when it comes to games with microtransactions I have to have had fun at a rate of $1/hour

then i'm willing to pay more hence idm buying prepare for escape

I've definitely enjoyed my 100ish hours on standard

[somber zodiac]

HELP

[sharp verge]

game's being patched

[somber zodiac]

oh

[tawny mesa]

#eft-announcements

[sharp verge]

there's even a giant red marquee on the launcher dunno how you missed that

[onyx plank]

Yep, I played 500 hours standard before I upgraded to eod

Now I have 2700 hours

[sharp verge]

I wish i had stuck around back when i first got standard

but its only this wipe where t he game's clicked for me, it is what it is

[onyx plank]

Yeah takes a while to learn

Also if you played when the recoil was awful then I don’t blame you

[sharp verge]

it was definitely when the recoil was awful

[heady meteor]

Eod isn’t available anymore sadly

I dream about secure container gamma

[undone drum]

They say its the best wipe 🙂

[onyx plank]

The best wipe in over two years yeah

The game was even better before

[sharp verge]

honestly the recoil is the major thing

just being able to at least have a firefight

doesn't matter if i win or lose, at least I can shoot back and do some damage

[onyx plank]

Yeah the recoil was what made me quit for a long time

[sharp verge]

instead of sneezing everytime i so muched as looked at a trigger

and end up shooting the sky

[tawny mesa]

this wipe sucks

everything is good but snow drags it in the mud

[undone drum]

snow is the best part for me ngl

[onyx plank]

It’s being removed today

[sharp verge]

i remember reading on the sub when snow first came out everyone loved it

[onyx plank]

Yeah it was nice but didn’t expect it to last so long

[sharp verge]

its just overstayed its welcome

[sharp verge]

just like real snow lol

[onyx plank]

Tarkov looks a lot better with the green

[sharp verge]

i have a feeling they'll slowly reduce the snow over the next week or so

[heady meteor]

As a new player playing for less than a week, I find snow cool

[sharp verge]

gonna be a different game when snow's gone

snow made it so easy to spot players

[onyx plank]

Yeah woods and shoreline gonna go back to being boring

[sharp verge]

gonna be checking every bush

within a 100m radius of the extracts

[iron perch]

Try to stop but manage to travel 600M due to ice

[sharp verge]

exactly

or you'll be crouch walking at the slowest speed and then slip making a tonne of noise

• yell out an expletive

[umbral kindle]

Is the snow gone yet

[bronze inlet]

prediction is thursday

[spiral spoke]

@worldly moat i did the jaeger quest yesterday + an airdrop, i believe you send me the map link so thanks again🫶🏻

[dry flint]

Is the game up yet?

[soft tapir]

yes

it says the red thing in the launcher

but the game is fine '

[dry flint]

is the game ever really 'fine' tho?

[frail raven]

👍

[worldly moat]

no issues continue to enjoy the game as you can and if you have any more questions feel free to send them i prob wont answer as i'm starting too but others will

[soft tapir]

scav doesnt work

for now

[dry flint]

I got in, but i got like 400 ping for each server. korea server is back tho

[bold kernel]

@flat cipher is snow removed yet 😢

[flat cipher]

nop

[bold kernel]

WTF

[onyx plank]

its melting rn

[tacit knot]

trying to finish mechanic 4
what is wrong with this sks? i cant get it done but did according to guides

[onyx plank]

Recoil is too high

Need 350 or less combined recoil

[worldly moat]

i keep getting 50 seconds freezes at ends of raids every single time fro mthis morning

[tacit knot]

yes but i am checking videos from like a month ago, i cant find anything more up to date and cant stay below 6kg if i try modding myself

[woeful spruce]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Gunsmith_-_Part_4

Check out the wiki, if you want to use the version with sight you got on youre gonna need the other supressor and chassis

If you wanna use this supressor youre gonna need a difrent sight setup

[tacit knot]

i had that build first but it didnt work either, thats why i changed to YT setups

gave me pretty much the very same recoil stats

[woeful spruce]

Well, actually now that i think about it todays patchnotes did say something about rebalancing stats on the sks, that might be the thing causing problems

I hope its still doable now or they will adjust the quest requirements soon if thats the case

[bold kernel]

Hello! I'm doing Jaeger's unlock quest, but I absolutely HATE Woods, I can't seem to extract with the envelope if not by sheer luck (was about to in the first try, a squad of 3 was camping Outskirts). Would someone be able to hop in with me, get the quest over with and possibly explain how to PvP in that map (or at least defend myself)? Thanks!

[edgy plover]

What servers?

[bold kernel]

EU I believe, but my internet's good enough to move around a bit if needed

[spare zenith]

anyone down to help someone do the quest where I go to big red get the file and then go to factory and plant it? failed many many many times now.

[dark perch]

I dont understand, I killed a scav, i was full health no damage, and maybe 5 seconds later i drop dead with no sound or anything, kill screen saying the scav i just killed, it killed me, game what ... ??!?!?!?

can someone please tell me wtf happened.

[spare zenith]

ping diff likely

[dark perch]

wtffffff

[edgy plover]

yea that's just desync

a couple clips of it online

[bold kernel]

I'm guessing bullet travel time and a fair bit of bad luck

[dark perch]

this is tragic

i was stacked

[fervent raft]

did it say what killed you

you might have stepped on a silent nade

if you went to loot it

[dark perch]

it didnt say what killed me

[narrow urchin]

can anyone confirm snow gone rumor?

[fervent raft]

did you go and loot it?

[fervent raft]

im looking at snow rn

[narrow urchin]

unfortunate 💔

[bold kernel]

Up btw, if anyone'ìs available (EU)

[fervent raft]

why does everyone hate on it

its nice

[narrow urchin]

just play nighttime

[fervent raft]

i just stole killa from a cheater hahahahaha

[bronze inlet]

everyone has their brightness maxed so that darkness doesnt exist so it blinds them

[fervent raft]

i like it being bright

[hazy heath]

i nee help learning streets, not new to tarkov just never played streets

[wanton trellis]

The fastest way is to use practice mode IMO

[worldly moat]

still getting huge lag spikes when ending a raid is this planned to be fixed or smth ?

if you see this guy : Zadniaya_noga just kill him and if you are his friend i'm sorry for you this shitbag is extract camping a 2 mn left on woods fign ape

( sniping extracts from 250 m )

[hazy veldt]

my dude, this is part of the game.
it's actually an encouraged part of the game, due to quests like Shooter Born in Heaven.
