On Shoreline all you find is Chads with Thermals and quad nods during nighttime

[sage arrow]

do gpus lose FIR if u put them into bitcoin farm

[fallen cargo]

no

they dont lose fir

@steady falcon i woud say woods for just learning general and starter quist customs closer range pvp but a lot o starting quist and facktory if you wanne died and pvp and ground zero is probly not bad right now but i dont now cus im over lvl 20

ground zero only players below lvl 20 canb play

[hazy veldt]

EU Night Shoreline is either dead or has cheaters in my experience.

don't take too high value kit + do something else for 10 minutes (loot pier/village/smuggler), before going for Resort tasks.

[bold kernel]

I aint got no tasks there it's more about literally whole lobby W keying resort atp

I just wanna loot but all I get is pvp

like I swear I cannot loot shit on any Map as a solo PMC except streets due to many fights.

I do more 1-1,5m rouble runs as a scav than a pmc

What is like a good map for medium gear?

why is mainly task / pvp as a pmc instead of looting

[wide belfry]

any USEC PMC let me kill them with a pistol for the Stirrup quest? Literally tried all day and got 2 out of about 25 raids. Level 12 and going to go insane with these quests and limited gear until Flea opens

[torpid field]

you doing it on factory?

[wide belfry]

Yep

Tried armour and naked

[fallen cargo]

it dosnt count to kil a duo

[torpid field]

also you dont need to do that quest so early, it doesnt unlock another quest. so you got all wipe for it

[wide belfry]

Ah well

[wide belfry]

Oh ok

[bold kernel]

would be too easy then >.<

[fallen cargo]

whats your strat on doing it

[bold kernel]

glock 18x

spray and pray

c*

[wide belfry]

Using a grach with 2 mags and some ammo up my ass

Scavs tend to eat most of my ammo, get rushed hard right at spawn lol

[fallen cargo]

how do you do the figts do you push do you hold do you go to offis do you camp....

[torpid field]

do stirup while doing sniper quests, when rotating have a pistol out and you'll just get it natrually as you progress

[bold kernel]

u can also camp on the stairs to office cuz they doesnt check one specific corner when going up

[wide belfry]

as I say level 12 is pain, these quests are tough to get Flea opened at 15

eg. cant even get key for Directors office in Customs

[steady falcon]

why is it so hard to find PMC in factory as a scav .-.

[torpid field]

what quests you got currently?

[fallen cargo]

vic i dm you

[wide belfry]

dude I can barely kill a PMC with an AK and PS.. lol

124 Raids / 10 PMC kills

136 Scav kills

[torpid field]

yeah but once you've unlocked flea and have some money under your belt, you can just dedicate some money and time into focusing on PMC kills 🙂

[wide belfry]

Struggling with the Bolt action Scav kills

40m+ one

[torpid field]

iron sight?

[wide belfry]

Yep

I know Scav house and Goretsky or w/e its called is good.. but trying to double up no vest quest and its just imposs for me

[torpid field]

take a vest in and when you see or hear a scav take the vest off

Old station and scav house are great spots for that quest also near mountain stash

[random igloo]

Scav House on Woods is a great way to get those Kills as well @wide belfry

[flint crypt]

What are some loot runs that youi can reccomend? I usually do a shoreline night raid, but that map is unplayable rn, way too many pmc's so I'm looking for alternatives.

[random igloo]

I usally run Interchange for my mechanical parts / computer parts. They yeild pretty well. Just hit up Oli, through Computer Rooms, Goshen Backside into the center Computer rooms.

[wide belfry]

Ya its getting there is my issue without dying

[random igloo]

If you are looking for guns, get you some Kiba Keys and get to collecting.

[unkempt egret]

Scav factory and run straight to extract if you need cash fast.

[torpid field]

night time is going to be rough most places as a lot of people are on the insomnia quest, which is getting loads of PMC kills at night. I do streets as my scav

[random igloo]

Lol, yeah @wide belfry
I get that. Sometimes you gott get to the rocks on the east side there and just wait it out. I personally go up to the North USEC Camp Hill and shoot them over at Scav Bunker as well.

[wide belfry]

Just to point out, I've only just got hang of killing Scavs accurately with an AK and sight

[random igloo]

I love Iron Sights for some guns. The SV-98 is a great one to use for the challenge.

[wide belfry]

and whats a good way to judge 40m?

[random igloo]

Sighting Range should be 50 by default. As to distance, get a rangefinder if you aren't used to the look yet.

[torpid field]

good tip for learning to fight scavs is if you hear them speaking before you've seen them, hide behind cover until they lose agro then look for them. you'll die less to em. you can even relocate to get the range you need

[random igloo]

You don't lose items in the Special Slots when you die.

[wide belfry]

Didnt know that was a thing, thx

Jaeger lvl 1?

[random igloo]

Absolutely. They can be purchased on the trade at a low level. Vortex Ranger 1500 / I'll have to look real quick.

[wide belfry]

Got it thx

9k roughly from Jaeger LL1

[random igloo]

Figured as much, didn't want to say yes without looking. lol

[fallen cargo]

fits in spesial slot

[wide belfry]

aye have it in there with my trusty compass 😄

[random igloo]

Same as the Compass. Good to have if you're still getting used to the map. lol

[wide belfry]

Hell yes, game changer that

[random igloo]

Mapgenie is a great resource. Everyone likes different stuff though.

[fallen cargo]

vic you stil wanne go or are you good ?

[wide belfry]

Use it but was constantly getting lost on Woods especially but Compass helps a lot

[random igloo]

Yup. Get down some landmarks on the map and familiarize yourself with what they look like. Look for those markers anytime you spawn. Do it enough and you'll have the map down in no time.

[wide belfry]

It was dying to the mines up near the USEC temp camp, hard to work that out

[random igloo]

Haha, I did that my first wipe. Just always stay away from that back strip behind the north side of USEC.

[tepid nacelle]

How do I complete Elimination (killl 3 scavs) from Fence as a Scav without losing .3 fence rep?

[torpid field]

kill a scav who kills a scav is the only way

[knotty ledge]

Can I craft the Portable Defib for the Ambulance task? Or do I truly need to find one in raid?

[torpid field]

crafting is easier

anything you craft is "found it raid"

[knotty ledge]

Alright good. Because I haven't even seen a defib all wipe.

[torpid field]

you might not see one all wipe 😛

[random igloo]

Go to lighthouse and kill rogue scavs. No loss in Karma. @tepid nacelle

Rogue Spawns.

[bold kernel]

I wont stop until everyone goes streets. Okay u can have rare ledx/gpu spawns but w/o those on a average streets is the way to scav

[acoustic dew]

streets is laggy for me, do you know a fix?

i turned on the streets setting

[bold kernel]

hmm i got no idea other than that and low settings, go look up some yt about perfomances there is some videos which increase the perfomance even more due to certain settings

[bold kernel]

another 1.6m. 2 Streets scavs in a row made me 3million roubles. thats good enough for you to do !

[acoustic dew]

alr

[bold kernel]

the route I take the same as always

[acoustic dew]

oh wow, havent tried streets alone tho maby its bcs i go in groups and the ping

[bold kernel]

as a scav its literally 80% free if u know how to move on the map. I actually got a nearly 70% survival rate even though its my first wipe and I died many many times to learn the map alone

[acoustic dew]

ill give it a try thanks

[austere hound]

Boring loot goblin map. I refuse to play maps with overtuned loot and still never have money problems. Fact is next to nobody plays streets for the gameplay. They just play it for the loot

[bold kernel]

I play non eod + first wipe so I struggle alot keeping 20+ million since I burn so much for svds kills / setup quest / tarkov shooter part 4

so I like to use these loot runs alot

make me feel less worse 😄

[austere hound]

Fair enough, but I'm telling you when you stop playing for the wipe or end of wipe comes, every rouble you have unspent & every piece of gear you have but didn't run just feel like a waste.

[reef prairie]

^^^

i always quit midwipe with a full stash and a decent amount of cash...

[acoustic dew]

omd i threw my backpack 1 sec before extract

[austere hound]

I have like 20m and a thicc full of c6. When I come back I'm just gonna spam labs and lose it to sweats and cheaters lol

[reef prairie]

problem is, i rarely come back until after wipe

new wipe starts, i start late and rusty because i havent played in weeks

[austere hound]

I'd be doing it rn, but I'm locked out of my windows install for a month

I usually play off and on even through mid-late. Just nowhere near as frequently

[reef prairie]

it gets boring for me when theres no progress

no chance to get kappa, and even for lightkeeper there are some quest i dont have the skill or patience for

[austere hound]

Progression doesn't keep me going. It's just the playerbase. People get really sweaty and metawhorey when mid wipe comes and they rushed a decent level. I like the weapon variety and chaos of early wipe. Mid-wipe becomes so samey

[bold kernel]

patience is the word tho. I struggle w/ shooter born in heaven + tarkov shooter part 4 just because I am no guy who is able to lay down for 20 minutes to wait for a guy to come by 😄

[reef prairie]

same, but shooter 7

[hardy night]

when can I start to craft in the intelligence in the hideout?

[fallen cargo]

cal a airdrop and go snipe it

[reef prairie]

i have half of the sbih maps done

[bold kernel]

there are pmcs which will come? xd

[torpid field]

level 3 intel

[fallen cargo]

there wil com som pmc

[reef prairie]

i need the interchange scav kills, peacekeeping mission on two maps and broadcast 2 i think

[fallen cargo]

not evry time but somtimes

and if they dont com free loot

[bold kernel]

I gotta stop using the red flares on my scavs then 😄

[reef prairie]

i just throw them away after spawn

got killed by other pscavs so many times

[bold kernel]

yeah that's annoying aswell

[hardy night]

alright thanks

[hardy night]

thats wrong

my friend has level 2 and he can craft

[reef prairie]

screenshot?

[torpid field]

i think he's lying

[late fossil]

I personally played some factory offline with high bots and easy dificulty and tried to one tap them, you have time to do that cause its easy mode. Also with AI scavs, try to show ur whole body cause they shoot on available spots and if u show only ur head, u are getting tapped. I only played factory and now lately ive been playing ground 0 and its a lot better, also as a scav I just run around not carrying about pmcs since i dont get a lot of encounters.

[mystic sun]

Thanks for the good tips. I will try that

[misty kernel]

Keep going. Every death makes you better.

[late fossil]

can I put sight to ak47 with lvl 1 traders?

[mystic sun]

👍

[molten valley]

can anyone help with the woods quest for jaeger? i need to kill scav and plant food/iskra

[torpid field]

do you mean ak74? which one as well? typically yes you can but i can help ya out if you tell me which gun exactly

[late fossil]

an ak-74 5.45x39

[torpid field]

ak-74U, ak-74UB, ak-74UN?

[late fossil]

it doesnt have anything else, just an ak-74

[torpid field]

send a screenshot

[torpid field]

oh sorry the Kalashnikov ak-74 2 secs i gotchu

[late fossil]

is there a way to check those things instead of going to linked search into a random dust cover linked search and then praying there is a sight?

[torpid field]

yeah get the workbench level 1 and then you can right clock and edit the preset of the weapon

[torpid field]

remove the ak-74 rear sight, replace the dustcover with the AK Akademia Bastion dust cover from Skier 6,325. Then you can pretty much add any sight from there

[late fossil]

worked, thanks 😄

[torpid field]

no problem 🙂

[late fossil]

should I carry a second mag instead of stray bullets? It seems like a reasonable thing to do to have a quick reload in case u need it

[torpid field]

yeah 2 mags minimum, 3 is always nice to be comfortable, what secure container do you have

[late fossil]

i have alpha

carrying analgin bandage and salewa in it

with 2 splints 1 esmarch water and food in backpack

[torpid field]

leave the bandage, salewa can cover light bleeds pretty easily

[quaint ice]

Need a duo partner for a tournament team from asian server. Should be an good player.

[torpid field]

also dont waste money on food and water unless you are low, just eat and drink what you find. it will save you money in the long run

while in raid ^^

[austere current]

cheap vpo215 sniping scope???

[late fossil]

how many bullets do u think some1 should have to get in a raid?

not including the 30 in the gun

[torpid field]

well depends on skill and what you're objective is in the raid, if you plan on a lot of PVP/ killing scavs. then for me i take the mag in the gun plus 3 or 4 extra mags and 1 or 2 stacks in my container. but if doing quests and trying to avoid fighting i take 1 or 2 extra mags and a stack of ammo in my container

[worldly maple]

What's my solution to constantly dying in firefights due to not having meta ammo. I'm getting melted by m856a1 and 7.62x39 BT even if I'm landing upwards of 10 shots on target. aim for the head easy to say while getting aim punched. Been told peacemaker level 4 is where I unlock A1 but is there anything else that will help me put down these Meta guys. Cutting through tier 4-5 Armour to kill in 2-3 shots like they do to me?

[torpid field]

do you have access to the flea/ what level are your traders?

[torpid field]

destroy their legs or try to break from the fight and get the drop on them first. if they know where you are, you've already lost (most of the time)

[worldly maple]

Thats...fucked

[torpid field]

yeah its about being tactical with what you have at your disposal. you could always try to farm ammo on reserve to get yourself a little collection of better ammo to help even the playing field

[austere current]

im lvl15 skier and peacekeeper lvl2 and the rest lvl1

[tough widget]

does failing daily or weekly quests make you lose rep?

[torpid field]

my go to was always leapers UTG 25mm ring scope mount (1,733 Jaeger and VOMZ Pilad 4x32 (4x scope) 15,192 for Jaeger also

[spiral bloom]

to offer a different perspective, you could try running higher calibers that have a better chance of penning. Crafting 7.62x54 LPS at workbench 2 or buying 7.62.51 BCP FMJ at Jaeger 3 will give you a fighting chance against armor, albeit at the cost of fire rate, recoil, and ergo

[worldly maple]

It's funny you say that reserve was where I just got dumped on after hitting a gremlin 12 times with SOST only for him to return killing me with 2 B something 7.62x39 rounds

[spiral bloom]

no rep loss, but I've heard failing tasks consecutively makes them give you worse tasks

[austere current]

okok ty

[torpid field]

goodluck 🙂

[late fossil]

I was in ground 0 looting inside an office and something just detonated and i died? 🥲

[torpid field]

lol tarbank claymore

[late fossil]

rip the SSD I was carrying 😦

[tough widget]

what containers can you store m2000 markers in? it'd be nice if I could carry about 9 at once and not lose them

[obsidian narwhal]

Scavin streets, whats a good loot route? im poor af

[tough widget]

I usually do a clean sweep of back tarkov mall, and pinewood

but im very inexperienced so im not sure if thats the best one, but that gets me 500k+ every run

[torpid field]

pretty much any route, pick an extract and loot everything on your way there 🙂

you'll soon find out where the hotspots to avoid are so you can make your routes from there

[leaden oasis]

how do i get over gear fear? i hate going into raids because i feel like im just gonna lose everything

[random igloo]

Just take in your most expensive gear and go in man.

[random igloo]

You will get most of what you take in back. Anything you don't can be earned back. I got to the end of wipes before with nothing. Now I regularly dump stash on stuff I'm not using.

[leaden oasis]

fair enough

thanks guys

[random igloo]

You got it! Use that RSASS that's been chillin in the stash. lol

[late fossil]

and now I just got sniped in a road for no reason, idk what this map is... atleast I insured the stuff 😉

[torpid field]

Gotta watch out for sniper scavs, they can be on top of buildings or on ledged of buildings

[late fossil]

not even scavs, it just said died in action or something similar, no person's name or scav, if it was one it should say the AI name i think

[torpid field]

ohh you went out of bounds

[late fossil]

i spawned in parking underground and was completely lost ngl

sht

[torpid field]

these signs are on every map, different sizes etc but all are basically saying go past this sign and you're dead

[late fossil]

i should be getting those back since I insured them no?

[late fossil]

oh I see, thanks for the tip 😄

[torpid field]

yeah tomorrow, most likely

Dont worry i died like 4 times to out of bounds snipers the first week of wipe cause i got lost 😛 been a few years since i had last played 😛

[random igloo]

Luckily nobody can reach your loot without threat of being killed by a Sniper Scav. 😂

[late fossil]

imagine someone just goes just to loot me out of spite XD

[random igloo]

Lmao, good luck. Those Snipers are like 2 shot kings.

[late fossil]

i even hid behind a car to heal 😭

[random igloo]

Lmao. I've been killed behind the SUV exfil vehicle on Woods cause I walked past it and stood on the bridge. They are ruthless I tell you!

[late fossil]

what is a "safe" key and a "machiner" key?

[random igloo]

We got one Boys. lol

[random igloo]

Machinery key is used for Golden Pocketwatch.

Opens the Fuel Truck in-front of Warehouse 17.

[late fossil]

should i keep it?

[random igloo]

If you haven't done Golden Pocketwatch absolutely. Then you don't have to grab it later. If you have, then you can sell it.

The WSafe key @late fossil. It isn't really used for anything. You can Trade it and Toilet Paper for a Lobaev 30mm Scope Mount though.

[open glade]

I report after every death, and about 200 raids in there was a ban wave and I got 20 ish bans. Felt so good :^)

[random igloo]

😂 Every Death. Jeez, my guy. At least you got some, but they look at your reports less when you report them all.

[open glade]

Not true actually. They came out with a statement that disproves that claim, basically saying they look at everything with an unbiased system - which meanssssss...
If I report everyone I die to, the obvious cheaters will get banned, the closet cheaters will get banned, and any innocent player caught in the crossfire shouldn't be harmed. No harm in it basically 😄

It's not like I truly believe that they are a cheater, it's just that it's better to be safe than sorry. I'd rather wrongly assume than let a cheater run another day because I didn't report him

[random igloo]

Lmao, I guess. If everyone reports everyone wouldn't that slow down the progress of the investigation system?

[spiral bloom]

absolutely, it's terrible logic

[open glade]

Not necessarily, if that were the case then the anticheat would be down most of the time due to the sheer amount of false reports it gets. I'd say about 70 -80% of reports that go through the review are false reports, which would literally crash it forever. I can almost guarantee you there is something the anticheat does that effectively filters these reports

[open glade]

Not terrible logic, just doing my part. Your report doesn't really report anything, it just flags the suspected cheater for the anticheat, which then compares it to it's own assumption of the cheater, and other reports, and if it has a good enough reason to - or it's detected some sort of third party software on top of that, the cheater gets banned on the next ban wave

[random igloo]

Cope?

[open glade]

how so?

[random igloo]

Maybe. I wouldn't personally know as I don't work for nor code any of their Anti-Cheat system. I'm sure a human does assist the system from time to time. More reports, system is working harder to filter out the negatives. Takes longer to process. Simple terms, if it takes 30 seconds to check an account by the system adding 100 wouldn't make much effect, once you get to the 1000s of additional reports for the system to work it is no longer efficient.

This is true. I very rarely report people to be honest. I might look at hours played and k/d or Surv%. Unless it is like 15 KD + or 75%+ Surv I usually move on. Depending on Hours of course.

[spiral bloom]

you're not really "doing your part" though are you? You're just reporting everyone assuming it helps and that it's an entirely automated system. If the anticheat were able to accurately detect cheaters by itself after they're flagged by reports, why wouldn't BSG just have it pass over every active account? The bottom line is that there is some level of manual review or at least algorithm training that goes into most if not all bans, spamming the report button does nothing but waste dev time and muddy the waters

[open glade]

I never said this makes me better at the game. I'm saying that if I report everyone, I don't have to personally think whether that was a cheater or whether it wasn't a cheater. On top of that, I'm not trying to pull a low skill argument saying "oh he's cheating so therefore I am the better player". No. Even if he was the better player in that fight, I'll report him because in the 1/1000 case that he is a cheater, he just got flagged for the anticheat and he will get banned

[open glade]

There is no manual review in BSG's anticheat. BSG uses Battleye which is entirely a proactive anticheat, meaning that it has 0 human review.

[random igloo]

Agreed there my man.

You're gonna do what you're gonna do. Its no skin of my back, just stating an opinion. Maybe it will turn out your method is the way to go, I just don't have that outlook. In my perspective it puts extra stress on a system that is already overworked.

[open glade]

I don't think you understand what I'm saying here brother. This isn't about being the better player. This is simply about the 1/1000 chance that, even though he was the better player, he was also a cheater, which will lead to him getting banned. I don't go around assuming everyone is a cheater and that's the reason I died, because usually it's not. But when it is, it's good. And I proved it. I banned around 20 Cheaters in around 200 raids meaning on average in my case I run into a cheater every 10 raids, which shows that my method DOES work

[lime anvil]

my friend cant matchmake for teams rn? do they need to do a quest for that or something i forget

[random igloo]

What do you mean by that?

[open glade]

Yeah of course, this is a good discussion I like it. I like listening to everyone's points because they're so much different to mine. I understand your point too and I think there should be some more transparency from BSG which tells us exactly what our report means and how it is handled.

[lime anvil]

they dont have the look for group button

[random igloo]

Are they the host of a group already?

They need to right click their name and disband the group.

[lime anvil]

i dont think so its their first time playing

[random igloo]

Agreed! If they were more transparent about how they look for cheaters (or use player reports in general). Maybe not exact tactic, but direction as to if it is all automated and what would help best in the reporting process that may be the thing to clear it up for people.

[open glade]

Brother I always evaluate how I died. I don't think you're listening to me and it shows. I'm telling you that I never assume that they are a cheater. I will die, clip my death, go back to watch it, and then while clicking back to my stash I will quickly report them for cheating and go on with my day. The report does nothing and I don't even think about it anymore. I never assume someone is cheating unless it is blatant, I'm actually quite against constantly hackusating because it's exactly as you say, you will never improve if you blame your misplays on things you can't control.

Yes this makes perfect sense, what aren't you getting?

[random igloo]

Hm, can they screenshot? It shouldn't have any issue LFG from LVL 1. Again, main menu, click their own picture at the bottom left and disband group if they are in one.

[open glade]

I will never assume someone is a cheater, but in the case that I am wrong, they'll get banned and I'll get closure

[random igloo]

Some people won't hear out what you're saying. It's just the way it is sometimes. I get what you're saying in reporting everyone without assuming they are cheating.

[open glade]

Some people just don't know how to have a discussion haha

[lime anvil]

nvm they had practice mode on smh.

[random igloo]

It's actually really simple to understand. I just think that puts extra stress. I appreciate you being open to opinion as well. Back and forth disrespect doesn't change anything. lol

[random igloo]

Lmao. That makes sense. My bad, didn't think they would have checked that.

[open glade]

Definitely, clearly the community is very divided in how reports are handled and I don't like that, I was under the impression that everyone thought the same way I did. Quite weird to find out it's not the case

[open glade]

Indeed. I agree that if there is human intervention in the system it would put alot of unneeded stress onto the already crumbling system, however, I'm not sure anymore whether there is or is not any manual review, so I'd be very interested to find out

[random igloo]

Yeah, I see they have a manual review system they use when people get wrongly banned. But they haven't stated whether or not they regularly manually review accounts prior to ban and appeals.

[open glade]

No I won't, because you're not open to criticism or any form of "changing your mind"

[arctic wing]

what would folks recommend doing with extra GPUs once lower level BTC farm is filled? save for when you upgrade or sell and then rebuy later?

[random igloo]

Upgrade Upgrade Upgrade. Lol.

More expensive to buy back than to save them for later my friend.

[open glade]

If you're planning to play for a long period of time, in terms of the whole wipe, then upgrade. If you're in it for the shortterm and feel like you're gonna drop the game mid wipe, just sell your gpus cause you won't make your money back in such a short amount of time

[arctic wing]

how long's it typically take for 1 gpu to pay itself off?

[open glade]

doing the math rn

[unique plover]

https://tarkov.dev/bitcoin-farm-calculator

3 days for 1 card

[open glade]

never knew a tool like this existed woah

[open glade]

assuming they're about 800k no?

[unique plover]

990k for the gpu, 806k for the btc

it updates in real time

[open glade]

ah got it

[arctic wing]

closer to 4 if you factor in fuel cost

but that's also assuming the btc farm would be your only source of hideout income. other crafts would muddle that a bit

[random igloo]

https://tarkov.dev/ Is a great resource.

[open glade]

and if you turn your fuel into grenade cases and magazine cases you can make fuel cost 0 in any calculation

[open glade]

@random igloo

hahahah

[random igloo]

Lmao. True

[random igloo]

Didn't see it up there. Just swapped back on the chat.

[open glade]

yeah I figured

[haughty stratus]

what to do if I loot and my game freezes and a scav kills me?

[random igloo]

Nothing you can do my friend. Hope for insurance.

[main violet]

for gunsmith part 25, i legit cant modify the pkp to the standard.. are some pkps different than others?? im confused.

[unkempt egret]

There is the PKM and the PKP, you need the PKP so double check you have the right gun

[main violet]

functional mods was off, but not for other guns. was weird thanks tho

[cold flower]

I think that's a sign telling me I should quit

[bold kernel]

is someone able to help me, im really late to wipe and i just started but i played last wipe

[random igloo]

Doubtful.

[dire rock]

hes legit, just doesnt have much of a life lol

[quasi basin]

just killed tagilla and got a yellow keycard, i don't run labs as im a bit a new. should i sell it on the flea?

[pliant relic]

what should i sell a lv 5 osprey MK4A P for on plea

[dire rock]

just check whatever theyre going for and put it up for just under

[dire rock]

id say so if youre not gonna run it the money will be a lot more useful

[elder lagoon]

Sorry I'm like super new but can you pick up quest items as a scav?

[dire rock]

nope

[elder lagoon]

Cool just checking

[dire rock]

unless its like something that naturally spawns then yes but quest specific items no

[elder lagoon]

Thank you

[west plover]

what does this mean? https://i.imgur.com/m6plADp.png

[finite sentinel]

it means if you take it in raid, you'll die with it: an 'enhanced' experience

[west plover]

[sharp socket]

Basically Minecraft enchantment

[crimson valve]

is this a bugged out rogue not aggroed to me

or is there a scav rep at which rogues dont aggro..?

I cant get thru the door lmao

confirmed a bugged out rogue i shot him in the head and he wont move still lol

[merry berry]

whatre the good 1x optics

preferably cheap. ive beenrunning the pk06 but apparently that ones not that good?

[crimson valve]

XPS-0 is the primere one

Ah for cheaper maybe romeo bot?

[meager bramble]

Will purchased stash extensions stay next wipe

[west plover]

yes

[austere current]

where can i get mp-18 sight mount?

cant buy it :S

[merry berry]

does anything good still spawn in resort gym area

[raw wharf]

why is tarkov ai so random ?

i die a lot more to ai than players

sometimes they insta headshot u and sometimes they do nothing

[mental ember]

can anyone familiar with guns parts help me sort

[bold kernel]

I swear right. I run across the street while getting headshot from ai sniper w/o warning then I see other guys standing still for 10 seconds w/o getting hit

like u cannot learn how the ai works like idk

every situation is literally unique

[hardy rain]

?wipe

rip

[novel basin]

trying to learn streets anyone willing to help?

[bold kernel]

Is a golden skull, golden roler, vase worth keeping?

[astral glen]

You will need all of these in future if you want to save money on buying them for quests and hideout upgrades, the vase should be kept if it is found in raid for living high is not a crime

[hexed dirge]

scavs spawn with a random level of awareness i believe it’s like a basic 1-3 right now

level 1 scav just takes pot shots but a level 3 scav will armpit you so fast

[astral glen]

My team mates have 1 awareness every raid

Just unlucky fr fr

[hexed dirge]

well they did patch it at one point and there was like a huge backlash because game was hilariously hard

[sharp ice]

best gun for new players?

[vale nexus]

Spear

[snow ginkgo]

facts

[leaden oasis]

ive actually found its best to just throw the bullets at the enemies

its way quieter

[native wing]

Does crafting moonshine count towards the crafting skill?

[viral prawn]

yes

[sharp ice]

spear?

[reef tapir]

anyone could help me w bronze pocket watch (new at the game)EU

[steady falcon]

best map for scav run?

[keen raft]

Lighthouse

Or streets

[leaden oasis]

is it worth running only a pistol on my first few raids to try to learn the maps?

i kinda hate offline

[reef tapir]

what should be my loudout for pmc runs like how many heals/mags ... ? cuz im never sure how many to carry .

[mint light]

mags is kinda gun dependent

usually people have 3-4

meds i like to have the calok for heavy bleed which stops 3 or like two esmarches before them, and a decent medkit that can fix light bleed and also heal like salewa ifak afak grizzly

or if ur low lvl the grizzly in the pouch is kinda crazy

[steady falcon]

how to judge enemies position if they're above, below or even same level as you

its so hard to know just by sound .-.

[mint light]

audio in this game is horrific so if u have extremely muffled audio i just assume they are above or below

[steady falcon]

i see, im under lvl 15 so i havent unlocked my flea, whats the best headset for me to use?

[stray cargo]

you will learn the first map in like one max two offline raids but you could watch pestily's map guide videos

[stray cargo]

cheapest is gssh from prapor or for the better option the m32 from skier

so it depends on how much you want to spend on your kit

[burnt creek]

how do i install arena in disk e

[sharp ice]

how does one locate airdrop

[hushed socket]

Watch where it drops from plane

[sharp ice]

also

what does ergo do to gun?

[iron robin]

There's an ergo+weight curve that controls how fast you ADS, how much overswing you get with the ADS and how fast the arm stam is gonna be draining while ADSing - In short terms, Ergo is how quick the gun is to wield and deploy, assuming you also take weight into account

[deft bear]

WHY DO I ALWAYS DIE 😭

[iron robin]

cause this is tarkov lol

[sharp ice]

just killed two chads in woods

took all their juicy gear

...but i died to hunger

T T

[leaden oasis]

kinda confused, just tried to extract on customs as scav and it just wouldnt let me

[iron robin]

Scav extracts are different than PMC

Check the wiki for the map when you go in as a scav, and check which three extracts are assigned to you every time you go in

[livid saffron]

is the survival in raid streak stat bugged, aint no way i have 32 in a row

[sharp ice]

best early game sniper?

[iron robin]

Gornostay - cheap, okay ammo, etc.
Alternatively scav M700 - comes with scope, BCP is decent.

[kindred rain]

who can help me get setup done lol

[undone drum]

what help do you need exactly?

[kindred rain]

get kills on pmc with shotguns on customs

[iron robin]

have you tried shooting them?

[undone drum]

So what exactly would that help look like?

[kindred rain]

queueing at same time asm e letting me kill you 8)

[undone drum]

doesn´t work

[iron robin]

[kindred rain]

how not if we are not in party and queue same time to same raid

[undone drum]

there is more then one server in the region.
Just go and kill players on customs mate. Isn´t that difficult

[kindred rain]

ive wasted like 10 million

its a fucking nightmare quest

[undone drum]

then do other tasks

[undone drum]

or camp high loot areas. Play your spawn

Customs has ton of choke points.

Camp them

[celest birch]

lvl 11, NA-West, anyone want to play? I

[kindred rain]

are there even high loot areas im legit sitting afk in dorms every run for 20 minutes

how is it supposed to be a fun quest?

[undone drum]

its not a complainer channel, so maybe go with this statement somewhere else

[undone drum]

Yes, check youtube for loot guides on customs

Play your spawn: People at the start of the game will hit high loot at start and go somewhere else

[merry berry]

does the sound ever bug out and sound like gunshots r cracking nearby

[west plover]

is this pretty typical? https://i.imgur.com/cktXLmF.png

[raven quarry]

what map

[west plover]

customs

[raven quarry]

nope

whens the last time you restarted the game

[west plover]

ya I'm thinking that might help. thanks

[late fossil]

should i make heating or rest space first?

[bold kernel]

doc case or key tool in my gamma? Or both?

[quartz otter]

I would have just gone with the doc case.

[bold kernel]

care to explain a little why?

[quartz otter]

In the doc case you can have your keys and some stuff u can find in raid like currency, btc and some other stuff u can find in raid that u will keep if u die. And use the other slots in ur gamma for heals and ammo or other stuff u may find.

[late fossil]

how do pmcs avoid scavs so well? I hardly see any pmcs in my scav runs

[west plover]

most of them are probably either dead or have extracted/extracting by the time you're spawning in

[late fossil]

so, there is a certain time when pscavs spawn?

[west plover]

I don't know the time ranges but yes, scavs join in raids later than pmcs

[quartz otter]

U looking for pmc`s to fight as a scav?

[raven quarry]

map dependent, usally 20-30mins after raid start

[late fossil]

nope, just curious cause i get so many pscav encounters in my pmc runs

[median niche]

hello, any tips on revision lighthouse? I have never gone to water treatment but now I have quests there, I heard rogues are hard should I wait until end of raid?

[late fossil]

also, how can u tell a pmc over a pscav? Everyone explains it as "lookimg homeless" or "doesnt have a pistol case on leg", but i've seen scavs that have military clothes or pistol on leg

[quartz otter]

You could wait untill end of raid and hope someone takes them out before you run in. But than you have to worry about player scav and it can become quite timeconsuming if you die and have to reset. If you want to take out the rougues watch a few yt about thair spawns and movements.

[edgy cradle]

i found a silly RPDN in a raid is it good

[reef tapir]

anyone could help me w bronze pocket watch (new at the game)EU

[median niche]

ty

[bronze inlet]

not cool. i have a checklist for reports, he just reports.

[median niche]

I used it with faceshield and big armor and just ran at people on factory/reserve bunker, was really fun worked well too lol

[quartz otter]

After time u will remember the different scav and pmc clothing. best way to test is to ask for a voiceline where scavs and pmc are significanly different.

[edgy cradle]

im only level 4 :c

[median niche]

oh, then I think keep it for later, it eats through a lot of ammo

or go run it you can get some later on easily, whatever sounds more fun

[median niche]

you will learn it by playing, scavs outfits are very colorful by default, but the gear they can find can make it hard to identify, in general I think identifying them by position/voicelines is easier

if you want to make it simple, don't shoot anyone when playing scav, shoot everyone when playing pmc

if you are new to the game that helps imo

[late fossil]

thats what im doing rn 😄

AI scavs tho... they just hit me through grass that i cant even see them..

[median niche]

yea happens, sometimes they snipe you with buckshot, sometimes they can't hit you at all

[wheat tree]

If you are in that situation stop looking for the scav that is shooting you, just reposition, the more time it sees you the bigger chance youll get sniped

If they have a watch on their hand its a pmc, also pants are ussualy also a giveaway

[late fossil]

how can i split stacks?

[broken fern]

hold Ctrl and click and drag item

[late fossil]

thanks 😄

[runic nova]

is propital just a better morphine and if so should i put it in an injector case

i mean replace the morphine i got in the injector case

[bronze inlet]

propitol is the bets stim in the game

[runic nova]

yeah ever since i started using it i almost use it every raid lol

[bronze inlet]

neat trick too, after using propitol, eat food or drink and you get bonus food/water

[runic nova]

wait do you really?

[bronze inlet]

it buffs your metabolism, yes

[runic nova]

o shi u right lmfao

so is it ever worth caryying morphine

[bronze inlet]

1 morphine, 3 prop is meta

[runic nova]

okok bet

[bronze inlet]

use morphine as premed

[runic nova]

ohhhhh ok

[real carbon]

Is Ophtalmoscope required for any missions? Or hideout upgrade?

[bronze inlet]

one mission needs one

[real carbon]

Which mission?

[west plover]

one for private clinic, three for crisis https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ophthalmoscope

[bronze inlet]

Private Clinic

[real carbon]

does it have to be found in raid?

[bronze inlet]

all 4 yes

[real carbon]

Thanks for assistance

[bronze inlet]

theres almost zero quests in the game that dont require things to be fir

[real carbon]

What about tank battery?

[bold kernel]

For prapors quest with the 30mms?

okthank you!

[undone drum]

if you have questions how to use, ask or i can hop in VC channel.

oh ok

[livid path]

Hi guys quick question. I’ve been playing for a few days now. controls and gameplay im fine with.

But im just wondering what the main thing im supposed to be doing at the start is? Should I be farming money, building the hideout or missions? If its easier for me to just watch a YouTube video that would be really helpful also

[tidal lagoon]

quests are the main way to progress

[woeful spruce]

You should for sure watch videos and guides, they are great. In the beginning you should first of all save money to buy a junkbox from therapist to keep barter items in. While doing that you shoul be trying to complete quests given by traders to progress and gain exp, as your other main goal should be reaching lvl 15 to unlock the fleamarket, that really opens the game up. A third goal to do along the way would be building the workbench in your hideout. That allows you to mod weapons much easier

[livid path]

Sweet I’m glad you’ve said by the junk boxes, I just did ha ha. Yeah, just been done in the maps mostly I’ve good on fps games and loving this. Just the videos I found were all controls etc

[livid path]

Perfect I’ll get into it

I’ll focus on levelling up and the workbench 💪🏼 thanks!

[woeful spruce]

You can just watch an experienced player play through the beginning of a wipe, that is veey informative as you can follow some of their tactics. Some of the best content of this type is pestily and his raid series which im pretty sure hes gonna start dropping another season pretty soon

[livid path]

Thanks mate just subbed to him now I’ll have a watch, appreciate it

[fluid rain]

w/l mp9 loadout?

[scarlet comet]

need help with the door task

[woeful spruce]

Good luck, cause im pretty sure olmost noone actually has the key for it, its for some reason almost impossible to find. Most of the playerbase hasnt done it

[pulsar coral]

do we have the right to play with a vpn ? My uni is blocking game and all

[woeful spruce]

Good of course, tgeres nothing more you can do to it. The mp9 fucks this wipe. Ive had huge sucess running it even without the supressor on smaller maps that dont benefit from noise reduction as much

[fluid rain]

is it useable on interchange?

[woeful spruce]

Ive heard of issue when playing through vpn. You can try it but dont your hopes too high

[woeful spruce]

Of course, great gun

[pulsar coral]

yeah but there is no risk of getting ban or whatever ?

[woeful spruce]

No no, nothing like that

[pulsar coral]

okok

[fluid rain]

streets quests it is ig

[woeful spruce]

Decent, amd you can get your scav karma while doing it so pretty nice

Ive found car spawns on streets annoyingly rare tho

[fluid rain]

plus this so no reason not to go

and ap 63

🤤

[hoary blade]

Anyone need any help questing or anything?

[slow yew]

The key does say "the holder of this key will wander eternity forever"

[woeful spruce]

Its one use key so that eternity isnt usually particularly long

[slow yew]

I play with a guy who found it, had it in his stash for a while, three of us loaded up to do the task, we got to the door opened it, and he forgot his cameras ... Needless to say I was a good boy and let him use my two, if figured we'd find the key again, we have not.... Key was on the peg board though

[woeful spruce]

Youre a good friend, man. Rare breed.

Hope you get it

[north cobalt]

hey guys im wonder How to get good at combat? it always seems like no matter if i shoot first deal more damage my enemy will still get me. earlier i hit a guy for 360 something and he hit me for 187 and i died. Im unsure if this is just me not knowing the combat in and outs or me just fighting higher level players.

[acoustic dew]

try playing arena

[north cobalt]

i was, still getting destroyed. people got coins and spend them on better kits that i dont have access to rn

[acoustic dew]

have you tried asking a sherpa?

[north cobalt]

sherpa?

[acoustic dew]

in the channel sherpa-info there is a invite to the discord

there is alot of pepole that can help you learn pvp there

if you go to offering help channel

[brazen swift]

anyone wants to go to woods? i need to unlock Jager

[kind quartz]

they severely nerfed the "sell all" amount you get after scav runs

im never going to financially recover from this

[brazen swift]

i messaged few of them but no answer, ill keep trying

how do i modify an MP-133 shotgun?

Got it, i need to unlock jager to level 2

[obtuse saffron]

get a workbench

[brazen swift]

Ok

[obtuse saffron]

then you can get the modding screen and edit preset suff

[obtuse saffron]

try running factory with a shotgun and low cost kit, or run offline raids with hard scavs

[steady falcon]

is it worth it to finish "friend from the west part 2" quest?

[tidal lagoon]

yes its necessary

[steady falcon]

should i trade my money to dollars?

and finish the quest?

if i trade my money to dollar will it increase my spent money at peacekeeper?

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[steady falcon]

okayy thanks!

[fluid rain]

Is the relax room key worth?

[kind quartz]

is there a legit reason for crafting things in the lavatory.. like why would someone want to turn 1 big WD40 into 2 little ones?

[fluid rain]

60 round ak 545 mags

[tidal lagoon]

not buying no, it spawns 100% every raid

[fluid rain]

Ik it spawns in it building but i havent found it, though im kinda blind

[tidal lagoon]

check wiki for spawns

has like 10 spawns

[fluid rain]

Ahh

[kind quartz]

what exactly is a "bleeding edge" build ?

[fluid rain]

But the relax room itself is good loot no?

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[fluid rain]

👍

[steel robin]

Made a mistake and killed one fellow scav. Extracted from the round without engaging any other players or AI in the match. Traitor scav penalty amounts to -0.64 karma and I lose my max fence rep status. Anybody know what I did to gain such a hefty penalty??

[kind quartz]

you betrayed a brother

[steel robin]

k thanks for the help

[late fossil]

it says "click complete" but there is no complete button in tasks?

am i blind?

[analog adder]

can some one help me to unlock jeager plseas i've never been in woods

[royal monolith]

Redut-M or Defender-2? which is worth the money spent on it

[brazen swift]

i have been trying for the past 2 days, i have been killed so many times

[royal monolith]

@analog adder @brazen swift #pvp-lfg you will find a lot people there

[cunning willow]

I heard from a friend that selling an item for way more than its worth to a friend to get money fast is not allowed?
Is that true?

[late fossil]

what is the "hand over x item" do i sell it to them?

[spiral bloom]

turn them in, trader task screen

[late fossil]

where?

ah shoot, didnt accept it, mb 😄

[spiral bloom]

are you sure you have one? That should be where you turn it in

ahhh nice lol

[late fossil]

is there a way to charge things? like if i have a 1/2 bandage and another 1/2 bandage, can i stack them>?

[spiral bloom]

unfortunately no way to do this, although some items have crafts that let you replenish them (ie: Calok B)

[kind quartz]

which map has the most scavs usually?

[copper moon]

woods/streets

[spiral bloom]

Woods (scav house, sunken village, train station, med camp, sawmill)

Interchange (scav checkpoint, front of the 3 major stores, both loading dock areas)

streets is a good pick too

[late fossil]

there's more??? Im here in ground 0 thinking there is infinite scavs & pscavs

[rain abyss]

Can't download the launcher. When I reset my password I get an email, when I try to log in it odesn't send the verification email.

[torpid field]

It can take a long time to get the email sometimes. I think it takes longer on big updates and wipes. So since arena just wiped you're going to be waiting for a bit.

[upbeat estuary]

you can use the half bandages to craft stuff. IFAK kits use them in ingredients

[late fossil]

should i get junkbox first or go for a lvl 2 stash?

[open glade]

depends on how crowded your stash is and with waht

if you have a bunch of tech items and junk then you wanna get a junkbox

if you just have stuff, and want more stuff, then get stash

[late fossil]

what are we thinking? i do have a bit of technical stuff

[open glade]

you have stuff

go for stash

not enough tech to warrant a box just yet

[late fossil]

also, should i be keeping all those tech stuff? or throw some away

[open glade]

all tech stuff is used for either hideout or quests

mainly questsI

I'd keep it all and cross reference with the holy grail of tarkov, the cheat sheet

I'll get it for you now

[late fossil]

https://tarkovtracker.io/items

i use this for needed items

[open glade]

yes that's good too

keep only the ones which are like

near future

don't look at endgame shit basically

[late fossil]

so shouldnt be keeping like lvl2 btc farm right?

[open glade]

dpeends

do you think you're gonna reach lvl2 btc farm this wipe?

[late fossil]

i dont dont even know how im gonna fetch 2.5m for that stash upgrade ngl

so i have no clue

[open glade]

so just play for near future now

if you end up being on path for your goal of btc lvl2

then it will just take a tiny bit longer to attain

considering you didn't collect for it early on

[late fossil]

the pic u sent has the stuff progressing periodically on the y axis right?

[open glade]

yes time is on the y axis

[late fossil]

sht and i have the glorious lightweight mask

[open glade]

don't look at fence

that's for kappa

[late fossil]

me and fence arent doing well he is on -0.26

[open glade]

kappa requires (almost) every quest in the game to be completed, unless that's your goal then don't look at his requirements

[late fossil]

0.o

[open glade]

you've been a bad boy I see

[late fossil]

not my fault those scavs be looking like pmcs

i see military clothes and pistol cover on leg = i shoot

im a simple man

[open glade]

fair enough

You'll learn to distinguish

[fallen iron]

I really have not understood the tier system in arena, so do I have to unlock 5 different tier 2 loadouts to play tier 2?

[leaden oasis]

should i not be shooting as scav? i’ve accidentally killed like 2 other scavs because i couldn’t tell if they were pmc on night maps

[open glade]

If you can't distinguish, then just don't shoot anyone I'd say

scav karma is important, don't lose it

[torpid field]

lets put it this way, my first scav raid after not playing for 3 years, i killed like 15 scavs. i'm still working that shit off and its been 2 months...

i didnt know about karma when i got back 😛

[cyan ledge]

Can i post a video here and someone tell me what happened? not sure if its the right chat for that

[torpid field]

i think you can

worst case the bot will just delete it

[cyan ledge]

ty

why did i not leave :"(

[torpid field]

server was lagging like mad

[cyan ledge]

[torpid field]

if it ever happens again just stay on the extract, you might get lucky

[cyan ledge]

lol ty

[torpid field]

if somehow the server does catch up it will know you've been there for sometime, but if you leave and keep going back it wont

[cyan ledge]

anytime something goes good in this game there is an equally bad experience yin and yang i guess lmao

[cyan ledge]

ty ill try that next time

[torpid field]

almost happened to me yesterday, 30 seconds later i extracted

i just laid down and prayed

[cyan ledge]

lmao

should have tried that

whats the best map to try and get those? been scavin in factory and reserve but no luck at all

[bold kernel]

Make sure you’ve no ammo or anything in the magazine

[plucky inlet]

thats the best way

[bold kernel]

Or some shitty dust cover that adds weight or something (i think it’s the ak74u gunsmith haven’t played in ages)

[plucky inlet]

do factory runds

[bronze inlet]

craft the ak

[plucky inlet]

true

[finite sail]

omg didnt know i could ahahahah thank you

guess its just the pistol then

[bold kernel]

Factory or any map with any sort of weapon crate you might get lucky, or just pop and scav and hope he has one

[bronze inlet]

that youll just have to hope you find on dead scavs or get asa scav yourself

what else do you see up there? Are on the edge of the map?

[fluid rain]

screen shot pls?

[bronze inlet]

Shift+windows+S

[plucky inlet]

@fluid rain If you have a lot of cash, m80 or better, then yes.

[fluid rain]

does like 20k usd count as a decent fortune?

[plucky inlet]

yes haha

[tough widget]

did they patch the streets marked room glitch?

[bronze inlet]

yes

[forest granite]

i was dropped. fallen in action. no longer in commmision. made my way to where kaban spawns. went to cross the street and was obliterated :((((((

[bronze inlet]

pfft

really told the whole story

[forest granite]

i killed a duo woulda been my biggest run i think. dude even had that black skull mask 😦

[mellow oar]

Im new to interchange. I can’t never get a mil off of a raid. Where r the good loot spots ? Almost every one of them is looted as a scav

[forest granite]

most things will be looted when doing scav runs i believe

[mellow oar]

Aww lame

[forest granite]

you can still easily make money as a scav tho just the looting process is a little different than on pmc

id recommend looking at a video for it. i personally use my scav on reserve and go underground and the train station area and i normally clear around 500k depending on rng

[leaden wigeon]

why are ai scavs better than pmcs?

[arctic bobcat]

I get sniped at, wait him out kill him instantly dc and now im stuck like this, what do I do?

[median niche]

is intelligence or moonshine better for stims?

I miss 1 for samples

[arctic bobcat]

what r u missing? I always find a mule or SJ in the left rouge tower on lighthouse if its one of those

BTC n others too but I swear its only taken 3/10 times if no other scavs have been there

[silver drift]

hello, does aynone have tips for finding extraction zones?

[arctic bobcat]

wiki has maps

[silver drift]

Alright, and also what does killing scavs as other scavs do?

[late fossil]

why when I use freelook it sometimes gets stuck like that and it takes some adjustment an pressing the button few times to get back to normal view?

[forest granite]

whats the best way to learn streets? just a ton of offline raids>?

[late fossil]

as i understand it, u lose fence well standing, more scav cooldown and worse loot as a scav

[forest granite]

i recomend mapgenie. you get base maps free and if u pay 5 bucks you can get all maps which is worth imo

[tough widget]

rac's vs comtac 4's?

[bold kernel]

• me mad cuz of small rig and backpack
• me happy cuz I find gpu

[forest granite]

On streets does anyone know where i spawned at on the map? trying to learn spawns on the map

[flint crypt]

Does anyone know where I can get semi reliable flashdrive spawns? I've been sitting on that quest for three weeks now, and still haven't found a single flash drive. I can't continue Sikiers questline even though I'm already at mid game quests for other traders.

[tardy crescent]

I find plenty in filing cabinets

Safes spawn them pretty often

[tawdry maple]

NO LOOT FOR SCAVS W

[finite phoenix]

Lol I’m in the same exact situation as you

[flint crypt]

Fuck yea! At least I am not getting the bad rng all on my own

[flint crypt]

But just you wait, as soon as we get that quest done and don't need flashdrives, they are going to pop up everywhere, its always like that.

[cursive falcon]

what level are you?

[flint crypt]

lvl25

[cursive falcon]

get this first 5 keys

in 3 raids you will be done most likely

i get 1-3 per raid

[late fossil]

if i dc after a scav run has ended, where u pick what loot u want to put in inv/sell, is there a way to get back to that? 🥲

[flint crypt]

Thx I'm gonna try that

[cursive falcon]

dorms is kinda hot area so like if u get bad spawn go loot something else and go later there and check rooms if they are not open

[ancient bear]

anyone done the extortionist quest on customs?

[mystic sun]

I want to get the machinery key to complete prapor’s background check quest and can’t find the machinery key in the flea market??

Also wanted to know where can I go for high value loot Scav runs?

[runic nova]

It’s in dorms I don’t think it can be sold on flea

If you are worried about dying on pmc trying to get it I’d just scav in

3rd story dorms it’s in 2nd floor

[runic nova]

I always scav on interchange and reserve, I know streets is popular but I haven’t tried the map 🤷‍♂️

[dark trail]

🤑

yet another successful streets run

[late fossil]

guys is ratscanner safe?

[bold kernel]

no

[late fossil]

ty 😄

[mystic sun]

🤣🤣🤣 I always die as pmc it’s my first wipe and I’m getting shredded all the time

[fleet holly]

Any new players want to run some raids with a more experienced player? I have 2k hours and can help with most anything, my main map is streets. I gotta host on texas servers cuz my web sucks. Mature 18+

[late fossil]

brother i have a 13% survival rate on pmc XD

[mystic sun]

Good to know that I’m not alone 💀

[late fossil]

and this is my progress with quests XD

fence and I have a love-hate relationship dont mind him

im progressing backwards

[mystic sun]

The problem is that I stopped playing any other games since I purchased Tarkov and still I’m not seeing progress

[late fossil]

same thing brother, i have 30 hours in 4 days

i shoot a lot more and while i was losing so much money and not getting anything back (dropped from 500k to 190k), now I get more loot and actually am up to 700k 😄

getting the hang of it, but missions seem so impossible to me..

[cursive gate]

how can i get help for tasks? custom is too hard and i die within 30 seconds every time

[late fossil]

can i put the hdd from ground 0 teragroup task in pouch?

[astral glen]

It automatically goes into a dedicated quest item inventory, you can view it by pressing tab and going to tasks

It is not an actual item

[late fossil]

so if i dont survive i lose it?

[plucky inlet]

@cursive gate Are you EU?

[cursive gate]

NA

[crude anvil]

1 scav btw

i got disconnected and when i reconnected this dude was shooting my legs and i popped him 😄 but lost rep anyway

[plucky inlet]

Sorry, i am from the EU, wont work out 😦

[cursive gate]

sad, any tips on surviving customs. The map is also difficult

[plucky inlet]

what lvl are you?

[cursive gate]

10

[crude anvil]

its a corridor, u wont

[cursive gate]

the tasks require me to retreive and extract

i can barely retrieve let alone extract

[crude anvil]

go night, play slower

dont run

[plucky inlet]

i sent you a invite for my server, i will help you

[rough plover]

how did that go through level 4 armor? i was facing him so he could only hit the armor plate and he did 1 damage on it

blacked my stomach from that

[dull prawn]

How do I fight scavs so I don't die as soon as I look around a corner? I have some quests to kill a bunch on woods and customs

[rough plover]

once they're fixated on you hide again so that they're not locked onto you

[late fossil]

(noob opinion) but I've gotten more success peaking with full body cause then they dont onetap head, also dont repeak same position, if u peak from right, shoot and peak from left next time

also stated in videos i saw 😄

[plucky inlet]

@dull prawn also use single fire not auto, aim for the head and dont spam to hard

[dull prawn]

Yeah, I peaked one way full body, scav missed a few times, then peaked other way, just head, immediately died lol

[plucky inlet]

@dull prawnwhere are you from?

[late fossil]

im honestly more afraid of AI scavs than pscavs 😛

[dull prawn]

Yeah I just need to work on tap fire in general, I have a habit of aiming for center mass and just dumping

[dull prawn]

I feel that lol, pscavs will run if you give them a chance

Ofc I've been hunted by packs of them lol

[late fossil]

sometimes they will think u are a scav and wont shoot aswell XD

[bronze inlet]

armor didnt cover stomach or they hit where your plates werent and armor only hate aramid underthe plate

[rough plover]

pretty sure the plate coverage is pretty good, plus it's level 3 aramid

[bronze inlet]

show the coverage

[rough plover]

it's the green cammo armor

[bronze inlet]

theres 6 of those

[violet canyon]

wtf am i missing, its 4 slots, more then 47 ergo

[bold kernel]

repair your gun

[violet canyon]

OH

no that didnt work

it has a laser, more then 47 ergo, extended mag, compact 4 slots, less then 850 recoil

am i missing something??

legit doesnt make sense, i followed the wiki build for the quest

down to a tee

lemme restart game

[plucky inlet]

what is the durability after the repair?

[violet canyon]

the max it can go

like 95

[bronze inlet]

add a muzzle break. your recoil is too high

[plucky inlet]

ah, you dont need the forgrip, put it of

[violet canyon]

it worked after restarting the game!

[plucky inlet]

got tarkoved

[violet canyon]

i guess haha

[violet canyon]

it was only 827 recoil combined

[bronze inlet]

i was guessing tbh

[late fossil]

I insta left raid cause i wanted to finish the car extract mission and it said something about leaving too soon and for a minute i thought i would lose my gear cause of that, almost sht my pantts

how do you go for missions? I mean there is 5 ppl spawning around terragroup, if i spawn somewhere else, do i go there? I think of it like there will be 2 ppl ratting there

[sharp socket]

wait others out, get lucky with spawns or simply fight your way through them

[runic nova]

If you do get a spawn nearby it’s basically free

[agile summit]

Anyone like to help me with Ground Zero?

[swift yoke]

could someone pls help me find my last salewa?

[tulip kettle]

ive extracted using taxi twice and it didnt complete the task?? they werent run throughs

[light hare]

[rough rain]

Whats so good about sanitars backpack? I saw it going for 30k on flea once i got it but it takes ridiculous amount of space for little slots.

[tulip kettle]

nothing

[reef frigate]

[unkempt egret]

There are landmines on several maps

[late fossil]

[reef frigate]

oh those are landmines sounds like air strikes or some

[mint light]

[night relic]

how'd i die from a head injury without being shot in the head?

[late fossil]

[reef tapir]

lvl 15 EU anyone could help me with shootout picnic woods ?

[west plover]

kinda confused on where to find the hideout electronics like gps and the other one on labs... I know there's the upstairs conference area with the cat statues that can potentially have a spawn, and supposedly on shelves around computers but I just haven't seen any of them yet

[late fossil]

what armor is this? bro just soaked 50 million bullets

[raw oyster]

Any advice on finding a M.U.L.E in raid? and also a Tank battery ?

[weary mist]

mule you can craft and tank battery you can play reserve

[raw oyster]

requires level 46 or so and a quest to craft.

[weary mist]

they changed it"? damn

i got mine off of a scav

[raw oyster]

thats why im wondering how to find it :p

its the last one i need for quest.

[weary mist]

i find them in duffle/med bags and floor spawns sometimes

[raw oyster]

i looted so many duffles i found 3 gpus total in those no stims :p

[sharp socket]

mule can be found on lighthouse, black room, sanitar and his guards, medical airdrops and all that, tank battery you can get from airdrops as well as valuable spawns and technical supply crates on reserve and lighthouse

[raw oyster]

bet thanks low chances to find as scav on lighthouse i assume?

[weary mist]

if you get lucky, chalet is unlooted and you can find a mule there, i found one yesterday in on that chair spawn

[raw oyster]

im not familiar with lighthouse tho so idk what chair it spawns LOL

[sharp socket]

they at this point are common than you think, people who dont need them dont take em cause they are so heavy and large

[raw oyster]

i was talking bout the mule tbf 😛 im gnna run reserve probably for the battery

[scenic badger]

How do i sell some things but not all?

[raw oyster]

put it in ur stash then sell urself.

[scenic badger]

what if i dont have space in my stash?

[distant fable]

put items into your backpacks or rigs

[late fossil]

if u put thing in ur stash then u can press "sell all" and will sell all the remaining items

[worldly rose]

are bitcoins worth keeping or should i just insta sell it to therapist for 821k?

[distant fable]

keep

[rose ridge]

they are 821k rn??

[night relic]

is there a way to withhold materials you need for hideout upgrades when you sell a bunch of stuff

[worldly rose]

mhm to therapist

[raw oyster]

it has some barters, if u rlly need money just sell. but theyll be nice later on

[rose ridge]

id say sell. I have 5 or 6 and sold them for 580k each a week or 2 ago

[worldly rose]

well other than weapons case is it useful?

[distant fable]

space saver

[raw oyster]

u could check the wiki for bitcoin itll tell u what u can do with it

[raw oyster]

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

[raw oyster]

[torn venture]

can anyone help me manage my stash? i have a full stash and dont know what im gonna need later on or what i need for my hideout

[raw oyster]

hideout stuff can be bought also, theres a wiki for quest items and hideout items.

best is to check that out n compare i guess? thats what im doing.

[torn venture]

ok thanks boss

[raw oyster]

all good theres also a site i think that tracks ur progress u gotta maintain it urself tho.

[torn venture]

oh ight

[scenic badger]

the sell all button after doing a scav run only sells the stuff I got from that scav run right?

[torn venture]

right

it will sell all the items on your scav character

if u put items in ur stash they will not be sold

[raw oyster]

Sell all button sells all on the scav u see in screen, stash wont sell.

[placid shadow]

i just droped the check 15 key on a scav should i sell it or keep it ?

[reef frigate]

spawn inbetween a duo and a solo holding a hallway

!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.

[cold flower]

How the fuck does someone get in 3 story before me when I have the closest spawn to it + wasted no time but ran DIRECTLY towards it with level 48 endurance and level 42 strength?

He had no sound either, yet he's on a spot where he needs to jump..

[manic inlet]

He might be faster then game allows "Wink... wink"

[cold flower]

Oh, great

Love losing a really nice enjoyable set to that shit.

[manic inlet]

Yeah.... just joined discord due to death of quite a cheater. 23 kd with 1K hours 2 day fresh character.... just killed me through walls 😄

[cold flower]

Nice one

[manic inlet]

Yea feels nice i get it. Tarkov lives from cheaters rebuying game but still i losing interest

[cold flower]

Money is where it's at

Probably 50% of the purchasers are cheaters now, not new players

Nikita needs them stacks

[manic inlet]

Yes... you can basicaly tell if character is old between 1-5 days and its already 20+ lvl its a cheater for sure.

[cold flower]

Getting another set up, cannot wait to lose it to the same crap

[manic inlet]

Well yeah... no comment here.

[cold flower]

Rate kit

[manic inlet]

Kill them all

[forest granite]

Should I mop the floor or dismantle the wall?

[kindred rain]

you can only dismantle the wall, after mopping it up for like 3 days or w.e

[forest granite]

so just dismantle it then?

[cold flower]

Got one shot LMFAO

To a dude doing setup

[celest birch]

NA-West lvl 13, getting killed, can I roll with someone?

[cold flower]

Camping in crackhouse in a corner with again, no sound

Gameplay is literally camp or camp at this point bro

[forest granite]

buan buan buano sooka

[flint crypt]

So. I'm broke, so broke in fact that I can't even afford a kit anymore to quest with. My scav timer is fucking slow as all hell, what am I supposed to do? Hatchet run?

[undone drum]

Scav on lighthouse. Good guide here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOwwLtiX350

[undone drum]

Farm fence rep

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Scavs#Scav_karma

[undone drum]

Now, lets analyse. How did you get broke?

[undone drum]

Are you here to complain about camping or do you know, how to avoid it?

[flint crypt]

Because I can't kill other pmc's. My quests need me to go into high traffic zones, into dorms and into the health resort, and those places are just filled to the brim with pßmc who are all higher level than me. I can't buy any armor that stops their bullets, and I don't have any ammo that goes through their armor. Its bullshit really. I thought lvl40 and 50 guys are supposed to be rather rare.

[weak light]

anyone tryna help me locate the recording studio in lighthouse

[undone drum]

Dorms dies out after 20 min, you don´t have to rush high loot areas for quests.

Use night time or evening hours for better result. Evening is best, since people without NVG extract early and player scavs don´t join often

[cold flower]

Complain, also was talking to someone else

[cold flower]

I can help you out if you're EU.

I can at least try to.

I'll try taking care of the PMCs and protect you till you get your quest done.

[undone drum]

flash damage, leg meta ammo is pretty early on available. With hight fire rate guns. You won´t believe how many complain about being shot from lvl 10 or scav

[cold flower]

Only map I can't really help is streets as I'm just learning it right now.

[undone drum]

And yeah, group up for those tasks

[undone drum]

awesome dude!

[solid birch]

is this normal? https://streamable.com/cf6ixf I was just playing as a scav

[cold flower]

Just went under 6 scav rep after killing a greedy scav looting my PMC kill. Worth it though.

[cold flower]

Yeah, it's "normal". They tend to close doors and walk through them, which's why I recommend to never hold angles on doors but gates and entrances when rogue hunting.

People always say "close the door and wait for them to enter"

https://streamable.com/ts3ahk

Good example on what happens also

[reef tapir]

can anyone help me w Broadcast - Part 1 first time lighthouse dont know the map at all EU

[livid saffron]

is it rare to get the gl off the goons?

[lapis token]

whats the most profitable map for a pmc ?

[hushed socket]

i believe it is in the rogue building on the left at the back under the stairs on the right side inside

[hushed socket]

not in my experience

though there are two different gl's

[livid saffron]

is one better than the other

[hushed socket]

depends on how willing you are to risk pvp

[hushed socket]

yep

[lapis token]

well whats a chill good loot one mild pvp risk

[hushed socket]

one is the 6 round gl and the other is a one rounder

[hushed socket]

i personally enjoy customs and running certain loot paths but if you think you can rat hard enough i would say reserve

alot of loot on reserve

[reef tapir]

any way to force scavs to come to you on woods ? ive got the task butonly see 2 scavs per raid any way to do it faster?

[livid saffron]

will run into alot of players on customs, mostly setup campers in bushes though

[hushed socket]

run in with only a pistol and no rig

they will likely rush you if you get tagged and marked

[cold flower]

Honestly just camp outskirts for scav house spawns.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hushed socket]

true

[reef tapir]

whats the best pistols for scavs?

[hushed socket]

whatever you are more accurate with lol

[reef tapir]

tried that but alot of people sniping and camping outskirt extract for the shoother task

[reef tapir]

ive never used a pistol in my life i dont know if theres a difrence between them

[cold flower]

Mammamia

[hushed socket]

fast firing with pistols makes you miss alot of bullets

[cold flower]

Go for glock 17

Cheap, easy to use, hot

[reef tapir]

alr thx

[graceful plume]

anyone needs help on interchange quests? lvl 48 here on beginners 11

[bold kernel]

sheeesh
