lol ty

why doesnt bsg just turn up the loot on all maps? stupid that runs like these are only on streets

[undone drum]

We are testers. They want us to test new things. They have to be profitable

[mystic sun]

How to get a gama container although they are not selling EOD edition of the game anymore?

[vital oasis]

streets been out like a year now no?

[vital oasis]

ya cant

[mystic sun]

That’s sad

[tough mesa]

can someone help me do a task in ground zero? im very new

[humble cave]

How did you end up on that page

[vital oasis]

this wiki link

[humble cave]

Tell tarkov market to update their stuff then

[dry blade]

Any noobs trying to get into the game lemmie know.

[regal depot]

what task are you trying to do

[distant fable]

I hear lound beeping noises in my hideout, how can i fix it ?

[raven quarry]

thats generator lvl 3 being out of fuel

[distant fable]

Ah ok, thanks!!

[brazen swift]

do i need the entrenching tool (shovel) or can i sell it?

[reef tapir]

Is it worth runing scav on maps like customs ?

[arctic bobcat]

found and killed tagilla, do I need his mask or hat for anything?

I was going so fast idek if there was a melee weapon I should of grabbed, no backpack anyhow

[bold kernel]

boss cap yes

[reef tapir]

Where to find Large beef stew cans im lvl 16 and still havent completed the first jager mission?

[arctic bobcat]

think I have one from a scav ages ago, good for the acheivement ig

no way this guy chose magnum buck over flechette

no wonder I survived xD

god the sound of my inshurance hitting scares me every time

at least I think that what the alert is

[wind ravine]

I am brand brand new to the game like not even a raid in and do not know what to expect. Is it possible for me to find an experienced player to help?

[lapis token]

so i was wondering best way to make some roubles bc i have a full stash and need my junk box i think

[full pendant]

when i start i sell nearly everything and run 2 scavs and get my scav box , i would recommande going to shorline and go north right side of the map and loot

[arctic bobcat]

find the weapon you like, mine was the 74U, sell EVERYTHING you get in pvp. If not pvp, spam streets scav runs

also do that at the same time no matter what, once u get above 2.0 scav rep it become ur money maker

[full pendant]

get a sherpa to help you from there discord https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/646789568925794324

[full pendant]

street scav runs for beginner is bit hard but street is best money , shorline is waaaay safer but not close to the money u make in streets

[hazy veldt]

weekend shoreline is 💀

[copper moon]

all maps on weekends are , i don't die this often during the week

[hazy veldt]

Sad truth.

[flat pebble]

hi how can i report a cheater?

[copper moon]

on the death screen, should be a dropdown when clicking on the name

[flat pebble]

no way to report to a mod manually ?

only landmark and pestily cvn do that ?

[copper moon]

unfortunately there is not anymore, there used to be a way to submit reports on bsg's site, but i think they removed that

[hazy veldt]

become a big streamer and you too can report manually.

[copper moon]

I usually don't report often myself, only rarely is someone blatantly having an rgb gaming chair from what I have seen, quite a bit is actually d-sync and getting the drop on me

[nocturne moat]

has anyone maxed out strenght or endurance yet

[fading cloak]

Can anyone help me unlock flea market im lvl 2

[loud arrow]

anyone have a issue where you cant see peoples guns and also get no shot audio when team mates swap to mele and back that fixes it but obviously all the others in raid arent going to do that. lol thanks in advance

[arctic bobcat]

ive discovered the power of the MP7 at lvl 3 traders holy hell

only once ive ran into someone clearly in lvl 5-6 armor so imma keep rolling w it

[mint light]

smgs op this wipe

especially 40 pen ammo ones

[unkempt egret]

MP7 has been stupidly strong for years now, there is a reason why it's 40 rounders are so expensive on the flea. If you want to save some roubles on a sight, try removing the rear sight and using only the front iron sight.
Also give the MP-9-N a go with AP 63, also stupidly strong for it's minuscule price tag but bring loads of backup ammo

[arctic bobcat]

btw I have EOD, who do I turn in chemical part 4 to?

injectors case no?

[native tendon]

just do it to skier otherwise u have to pay 1m to him

injector case is cheaper than that

[unkempt egret]

I'd say maybe Prapor as an unconventional choice given the price ammo cases go for on the flea nowadays. For the follow up quest Prapor is the cheapest, then The Rapist and Skier asks for a million roubles iirc.
With enough money it doesn't realy matter if you have enough rep with the respective traders

[native tendon]

ye if u have a lot of rep with skier u can just ignore the 1m quest lol

[arctic bobcat]

ive got a mili so np

joking, just bought it for 500k

[magic pendant]

what’s the point of running a knife in this game

like when was the last time you had to stab someone

[copper moon]

hatcheted a guy the other day on customs when i ran out of ammo, it can work in a pinch, plus there are tasks that require melee kills

[reef tapir]

i need 1 pmc kill with a pistol and im runing out of money for good pistol bullets would anyone just let me kill them?

[twin whale]

hey guys, why cant I pick up the pick for audiophile? I see the item, I get the little white dot on screen but its not giving me the prompt to pick it up

[night viper]

So I had a Salewa and a blacked out limb with Heavy Bleed, why couldnt I use it??

it seemed to have enough on it

[median fulcrum]

interchange goshan (bird store in middle of mall) back left side if entering from the front of the store

[median fulcrum]

for me breaking glass ( i have RR) but generally useless, bind your melee to the otherside of the fucking keyboard so you don't hit it accidentally

[arctic bobcat]

if its for skier, dont even worry abt it. it doesnt unlock any other quests and u will use plenty later when doing sniper quests

any chance I can cheese a blackrock from scaving anywhere? where should I go I got sew it good pt 4 never done it b4. (Other than pvp, this blackrock I had alr was my first rig for storage early early wipe) and ive not seen any since

[median fulcrum]

goshan is the best for it

[copper moon]

goshan on interchange is also the one with the fire in it, hard to miss- you can also find large cans of tushonka on woods or anywhere where ration crates can be found

[arctic bobcat]

how many LEDX's total does one need FIR?

[median fulcrum]

1

[arctic bobcat]

sell em all after? just found one in an airdrop, no idea why it was a common one with a ledx lmao

alr got med 3

[median fulcrum]

if you plan on getting thicc case

at level 35, 1 ledx + 1 Opthalmoscope FIR for private clinic

save it

[arctic bobcat]

ill have 2 after that then, how many for the case?

[median fulcrum]

read the message lil bro

[arctic bobcat]

read mine

ill wait

[median fulcrum]

if you plan on getting thicc case
at level 35, 1 ledx + 1 Opthalmoscope FIR for private clinic
save it

[arctic bobcat]

k so wiki says its 15 total ledx for another case, 2/15 yikes selling em then

[summer portal]

if i failed a quest becasue i did a different one, does that mean i cant get kappa if that quest was required?

[arctic bobcat]

guarantee any quest w options on who to turn it into wont mess with kappa

just rewards and maybe time, I'll bet my acc on it

dont think I'll ever get it so good luck 2 ya

[summer portal]

ok becasue i did collegues part 3 which isnt kapp requred but it failed huntsman - sadists which saysa kappa required

[mint light]

ur chilling

do either or

[arctic bobcat]

what lvl strength do I need to wear this and not be overweight with an empty scav bp?

sounds like I'd sooner get kappa xD

[median fulcrum]

fucking infinite

[hazy veldt]

51

[median fulcrum]

remove the side plates

[arctic bobcat]

dont need it for quest right? just selling it

[median fulcrum]

they dont cover thorax

google it on wiki

[flint crypt]

How can I level up strength and endurance quickly? My Pmc is always overweight, just from carrying my weapon and armor.

[lofty wave]

get the air filtering unit in hideout and make sure u go into every raid overweight. do a full sprint when you spawn in. thats about all you can do and just keep doing that to max out strength.

after that youll load into 95% of raids underweight and start leveling endurance

[flint crypt]

Alright, so being overweight levels strength and being underweight endurance?

[arctic bobcat]

love killing a 4man rat squad just to die to a hacker shooting me in the chest in a ditch almost double my players height standing when im prone... ik where he is at too I watched him kill a scav

[lofty wave]

yeah but after the beginning of the raid you start to level skills a lot slower especially strength and endurance

max strength is far more important so focus on that

[flint crypt]

Just report him, from my experience hackers get banned quickly, last week alone I got five notifications that my reports led to cheaters getting banned.

[flint crypt]

Will do, thanks.

[arctic bobcat]

I can count how many reports ive made on 2 hands and never got one

[wise gyro]

Sprinting while overweight levels strength. Sprinting while under weight levels endurance

[arctic bobcat]

that explains a lot lmao, my roomate is same endurance as me but im 9lvls more in strength, idc about overweight as long as its 70% movement

imma call it a night after that tbh, 4.6x30 is prob my new fav round after today, was on a 7 raid S streak with that kit using it for the first time, maybe the 2m700's and suppressors were too jucy for him to pass up

[flint crypt]

Another question, whats the cheapest useful AKM build in your opionion? Trying to do punisher 1 and I only have about 300k left.

[hazy veldt]

stock and just single fire.

add bastion + optic if you want.

you can add uas stock on the cheap, if you really want, but even meta akm isn't really decent at full auto.

[reef tapir]

What the best budget ar build ? and what bullets should i use (only 700k in bank)

[flint crypt]

Thx gonna try that.

[hazy veldt]

Realistically, PP19 or MP5sd, shooting PST, since you don't have peacekeeper ll3 yet.

If you have to use an ar, then I guess buying PS from flea and running aks74u(b/n) is an option.

[median fulcrum]

???? smoking crack.....

don't listen to this guy

[reef tapir]

@median fulcrum what would u say is good?

[median fulcrum]

aks74ub shooting PP bullets

OR aug m855

or piranha shotgun(s)

[tribal walrus]

Is there a place to post here to LFG? Or do people just hop into random chat channels for the map they want to run in hopes of joining that group?

[reef tapir]

any of theese bullets good? im trying to sell every shitty bullet and actually invest in normal bullets so i stop shooting marshmallows at other pmcs

[flint crypt]

Best budget ar would probably be the ADAR, just slap the cheapest supressor to it, and use SOST ammo if you can get it. M855 is also quite ok. But note that the ADAR is only semi auto. If you want an automatic rifle that shoots NATO ammo, I'd recommend the AUG, or the MDR.

[flint crypt]

Get rid og the Sperformance Slugs, the black ones. amd also the other shotgun shells. You can also get rid of the HP ammunition, its not that good, and you won't be using it for anything other than killing scavs.

[hazy veldt]

m855 is 700rub a pop, he's looking for budget

PP's also around 600-650

[median fulcrum]

700 rub a pop are u braindead?

[hazy veldt]

are you?

[median fulcrum]

go to peacekeeper right now and tell me the price

[hazy veldt]

he's a first wiper at level 16

[median fulcrum]

no.

tell me the price bro

[hazy veldt]

Bro, he can't buy from peacekeeper

m855 is pk3

so his option is flea.

where it's 800 rubles now.

[median fulcrum]

pk3?

[hazy veldt]

Peacekeeper Loyalty Level 3.

[median fulcrum]

you know what. you are right my bad.

[still shell]

how does endurance work ? it seems to never level up im fairly new but my strength is 9 and my endurance is 4

[median fulcrum]

only when underweight

[bronze inlet]

if youre overweight, you dont get endurance

[still shell]

underweight ?

[hazy veldt]

blue weight number

[still shell]

wat if i wear a single thing i go over weight

[hazy veldt]

vs

[hazy veldt]

yes, welcome to tarkov.

[still shell]

So .. if i want to level it up i have to run nothing and loot nothing ?.

[hazy veldt]

you have to build around it, if you want to optimize.

[still shell]

rather run very minimal gear and loot nothing

[hazy veldt]

I mean, you can run paca or something and you'll be underweight at start of raid.

[still shell]

does the threshold for that increase at all?

like can i eventually hold a bit more weight before being "overweight"

[hazy veldt]

yes, strength increases it a little.

[still shell]

i see

[hazy veldt]

and elite strength makes weapons equipped, have zero weight magically.

[still shell]

and elite is what level/

[hazy veldt]

51

[still shell]

jeez

[hazy veldt]

welcome to tarkov.

[orchid isle]

thats green

[hazy veldt]

not with the visibility color scheme I use.

[orchid isle]

:ooooooooo

[flint crypt]

Honest question, is playing this game even worth it anymore? I am trying to complete my shoreline quests for about 3 hours now, and in that time I ran into at the very least three blatant cheaters, all of whom ran directly up to me and killed me, even though I was moving slowly. So is it still worth it?

[orchid isle]

honest answer, 90% of the time its a skill issue and theyre not actually cheating

many players think someone is cheating when they die while making "no noise" but you make noise unless you are crouch walking with speed knob at 0

and noise goes up to 80meters out

100+ with ct4 and good eprcetpion

[flint crypt]

Dude, one of those guys zoomed at me, dropped a graphics card at my feet, told me to take it, and then he put a bullet in my head.

[orchid isle]

gpt a clip

[flint crypt]

No, I don't have enough space on my hard drive to record gameplay.

[hazy veldt]

not on weekends.

[native tendon]

how u guys getting so many cheaters in ur games

ive seen like 2-3 blatant aimbotters

[flint crypt]

It generally doesn't feel fun anymore. Tarkov feels more like a chore than a game.

[hazy veldt]

Then stop playing.

Take a wipe or two off.

Then when you come back, that tarkov addiction will hit your brain again full-force.

Unless upcoming competitor game replaces tarkov.

[flint crypt]

I think I will. Just switch to some chill game for a while, one where I don't need to fucking grind my ass of the first thing in the morning on an off day.

[sullen forge]

any help?

[mellow oar]

Did they nerf loot ? Cuz my scav raids aren’t working like they were pre patch ? Idk how to make money anymore tbh 😂all my loot runs r turning dry but some people r doing better after this patch. Idk what’s going on

[lunar dagger]

im very new to this game dont know any of the maps really and just looking for help understanding the game better can anyone help?

[edgy plover]

Start in Ground Zero, Woods, or Customs (my suggestions, start anywhere but Factory). You want to get one map down well. Don’t spread yourself thin early on. Focus on getting good enough at one map you can always go back there and make money if you need to, then go learn others.
https://mapgenie.io/tarkov
Use these maps - they'll look cluttered at first. Hit "Hide All" on the left-hand toolbar, then scroll down and only toggle on "Extractions" and "Locations". That'll give you a pretty good look - feel free to toggle on some loot options as you go

Head into a practice mode on one of those maps, toggle on some AI scavs, and try to get a feel for the map, movement, gunplay, scav killing, etc.
When you're ready - try to scav into one of those maps and actually get some loot out.
Then you can take your PMC in and try to do some quests or loot or simply survive.
Good luck - you will die, try to have fun with it.

[lunar dagger]

@edgy plover thank you i did all the begining quests for ground zero then i actually moved to factory cause a video said it would be the easiest to learn the map since its small and alot of fighting to get used to combat. i just dont quite know how to kit out my pmc and really just where to go for all of my new quests

[native tendon]

google the quest name and ull get directions on where to go

its extremely hard without googling

[bronze inlet]

https://tarkovtracker.io could use this aswell

[lunar dagger]

@native tendon yes i try to google everything cause im lost i just dont know my general direction at all in game it sucks

very unmotivating but im trying to get going it seems like a really fun game when u dont suck

[oak pond]

any advice on how to level up my flea market rep?

to have 3 and then 4 offers?

[bronze inlet]

try this websites maps thing, and then the Where am I? button

https://tarkov-market.com

[bronze inlet]

sell things lol

[native tendon]

the more u sell and buy on flea the higher it goes

brooo i hit a nakey 3x with AP-M

man hasnt died yet

[hollow moat]

Has anyone had the game continue to randomly minimize while in game every few mins and bring you back to the desktop?

I feel like it’s buggy asaf…

Any ideas?

[wide lake]

I haven't had that problem but have you looked into the graphic settings?

I think you may have made a mistake while tinkering with the gfx

[hollow moat]

I haven’t played in awhile and this has been pestering me for the past couple days.

I mostly run off of the auto settings of GeForce

I have a 3080ti

This guy has been on the screen since 3 wipes ago idk what they did to mess things up but that’s another thing…

Doesn’t show up for a lot of my other main games either

[graceful flume]

LF help on shoreline for a few tasks please

[molten kelp]

are any of these useful?

[torn cypress]

can anyone please tell me what time ingame we can spawn scav player on Street?

[leaden oasis]

kinda confused, just walked into a building with a bunch of guys speaking russian (scav run) and assumed they were scav, but then they all mag dumped me?

[bronze inlet]

streets is buggy, ive spawned in with 43 minutes left in raid lmao

[bronze inlet]

player scavs. they dont have to be friendly

[leaden oasis]

it was like a pretty big group, like 7 scavs

[bronze inlet]

W303 W306 Dorm206 and OLI office are quest keys

[leaden oasis]

ooooh it was a boss

nvm thanks

[molten kelp]

should i sell the rest? im broke

[bronze inlet]

yes

[molten kelp]

once i unlock flea, can i get actual decent guns with decent attachments

[finite sentinel]

i recommend focusing on leveling up traders more than anything

don't worry too much about the flea until you have enough money spent with traders for the next level

[leaden oasis]

should i run razers or comtac 2s? also how does leveling up the traders work?

[bronze inlet]

traders are far more cost effective. really hard nose tasks so you can get the best of both

[bronze inlet]

comtac 2s are the worst headset

[finite sentinel]

razers

[molten kelp]

will i be able to get like an ar with a laser and scope from a trader

thats all i want lol

[finite sentinel]

but I recommend sordins

[bronze inlet]

not a scope lol

[leaden oasis]

so basically leave it for the naked runs

[finite sentinel]

if you're broke, I probably wouldn't be running an ar (assuming you're talking about ar-15/m4a1?)

[bronze inlet]

just dont use them

[finite sentinel]

sell them

[bronze inlet]

assault rifle

[bronze inlet]

^

[molten kelp]

what should i use?

[finite sentinel]

if you want an ar with a scope, learn lighthouse or reserve as a scav and kill raiders

[finite sentinel]

use the best of whatever you have available to you via traders

aks74u is a good lv1 trader weapon

[molten kelp]

ive just got a ak74u with a couple attachments rn

[bronze inlet]

ak74, RFB, Adar, saiga 9 / 12, mp153, mdr

[finite sentinel]

ak's are very good cheap options and they're very easily modifiable for cheap

[molten kelp]

how do i kill people at long rage? i have some snipers available but they seem shit and have no scopes

[bronze inlet]

you dont. you have to adjust to a playstyle that avoids long range confrontation

[finite sentinel]

you can find scopes in raid

I wouldn't buy them off the flea early though

unless they're the budget ones

[forest granite]

is it worht using the m4 or aug if you dont have da m856a1?

[still tinsel]

Any1 have the rb-smp and rb-ksm keys for disease history on customs?

[finite sentinel]

imo yes, m855 or sost are decent rounds that seem to hit hard this wipe

for me I have had no issues with 556

[molten kelp]

which 545x39 should i be using?

[forest granite]

yea m855 my only decent option bc i cant get sost either

[finite sentinel]

i like the 74u series

[finite sentinel]

once you get the craft you can make it in the hideout for cheap

[forest granite]

do you know if EFT-AMMO is accurate on the graphs?

https://www.eft-ammo.com/ this is the link idk how many people use it but i have been

[molten kelp]

ive got PRS and US gs

[forest granite]

us

[finite sentinel]

I don't use eft-ammo, but it looks like it's fairly accurate

[finite sentinel]

honestly up to you, but lots of people like us because of it's recoil mitigation stats

for me, neither round feels that much different

[forest granite]

pen stats for us seem to be a lot better than prs but im no expert lol

[molten kelp]

about to go on reserve how am i lookin

[finite sentinel]

the pen isn't that much different, most people are going to be running tier 3 or 4 armors anyways

the extra pen could be better if you need to pen tier 2 soft armors though

but you don't need pen for headshots

[finite sentinel]

looks good enough, would recommend a backpack just in case though

you can always drop it if you need to and the return value is insane

[molten kelp]

i am scarewd someone else will take it

[finite sentinel]

no one will take a small backpack

berkuts and smaller are usually left alone except by scavs

[molten kelp]

is a raider the boss? like tagilla on factory

[finite sentinel]

no

raiders are like mini bosses almost

[bronze inlet]

scav < raider < rogue < boss

[molten kelp]

so if i killed tagilla i should be able to kill a raider

[lethal mist]

Has the relaxation key been nerfed in 14.11?

[bronze inlet]

50/50

[bronze inlet]

feels like it

[lethal mist]

I got not a single loot spawn last run. Not a single one. Only the dufflebags had stuff in it

[lofty wave]

istg yesterday it was cooking and today ive opened it twice and the first time there was like maybe 100k in loot and the last time i opened it there wasnt a single loose loot item in teh whole place.

i think its actually bugged its like really really bad

[lofty wave]

same

[bronze inlet]

SOUNDS LIKE VACCUUM TBH

whoops caps lock

[bold kernel]

imagine being lv 58 and extract camp entrance to catacombs lmao

[molten kelp]

can raiders spawn anywhere on reserve or do i have to g o somewhere specific

[bold kernel]

i feel bad for those bad gamers frfr

[bronze inlet]

kill pmc quests be like that tho

[bronze inlet]

underground of the helicopter early raid, or in front of the trainyard late in the raid

[bold kernel]

he down bad for waiting there for scavs tho

atleast he got some roubles he is unable to get by himself lmao

imagine waiting there for 30 minutes i cannot get over the fact lmao

[leaden oasis]

what medical stuff should i be bringing on raids? i keep getting shot a few times and end up bleeding out bc i dont think i have the right stuff to heal

like they black my leg out and hit my thorax and im just dead

[molten kelp]

every med ive tried wont fix a blacked out limb but im also new so idk

[bronze inlet]

2 heavy bleeds, 2 splints, an HP med, and a painkiller in your booty

[leaden oasis]

gotcha, thanks

[oak gust]

Any tips for Chumming interchange kills?

[molten kelp]

what does leaning side to side mean

[oak gust]

Peace sign

[vale nexus]

You need a surgery kit for that.

[molten kelp]

oh shit thanks

[unique geyser]

Do you mean getting kills on interchange/ Rush in ASAP then taek your time once inside. Oli's store/Idea is good as you have the ability to rotate in/out in multiple angles fast, go down to garage or bail out back.

Usually its Duo/Trio on that map so be aware whenever u kill someone, never only 1

Also poeople run GPU farming there 24/7, if you know the route u can kinda rat it easily :V

But it og's past the tech store with alarms upstairs which is a good place to rat

Either that or exfil camp and get ire of comm

[proven egret]

or if killa isnt there camp the no bag extract

[timid igloo]

first time doing setup, can i wear armor? this is my setup

[proven egret]

yes but you need a scav vest

[timid igloo]

okok

done?

[oak gust]

yep done

[timid igloo]

okok

[bronze inlet]

you can wear a headset aswell

[viral linden]

looking for someone to help me do signal part 1

[timid igloo]

oh thanks!

i was looking at the wiki and was struggling

[bronze inlet]

https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/541976915272007681

[timid igloo]

which headset best for its price?

[proven egret]

Personal preference tbh I’d watch a YouTube video

[bronze inlet]

gssh

[timid igloo]

oh ok thanks

so this works

forgot heals

[bronze inlet]

looks good. would recommend Press armor with tier 4 plates tho

[timid igloo]

oh oko k

[bronze inlet]

also heres how the headsets rank

how much its worth to you varies

[timid igloo]

Thanks!

by the way, how do i know which plate works on which?

[bronze inlet]

linked search the armor

or hover over the dropdown menu of the plate itself

[timid igloo]

oh thanks!

what..

ahhhhh... i hate this game

ah im fine, i have more

[tardy pebble]

I run tac sports usually

[pulsar coral]

tac sport

[timid igloo]

thanks!

im just running this mission while im studyin

[lofty wave]

Tac sports and sordins are almost the same in practice it comes down to which ones you think sound better

[timid igloo]

oh shit

[timid igloo]

okok thanks

[solar vale]

just got back on the game after a years or so

would appreciate some help

[timid igloo]

what should i do with no in raid tetris??

[bronze inlet]

sell to rapist

[weary mist]

save for btc barter

[bronze inlet]

mfw

[timid igloo]

ok nice name for a trader tho (;

[livid saffron]

does the average lifespan stat work properly?

[fast walrus]

how to be labs chad

[warped latch]

is there a point to those offset (?) red dots (like on M1 used in Test Drive Part 1 quest) if main scope is 1x/something anyway?

[hoary blade]

No not really, except you look cooler

[warped latch]

Ok. I was wondering if maybe they use different sensitivity or something but... looking cool is important too

[hoary blade]

No they're just a backup incase you're using a more than 1x scope, gotta use the offset tactical mount with the ncstar backup mount for full coolness tho

[timid igloo]

i was watching youtube, this mas good?

[fast walrus]

anyone have a buget kit for labs

[woeful spruce]

Yea, its good

[tiny fox]

5-7 or a SVT

[woeful spruce]

Ks 23 or svt

[tiny fox]

i prefer the SVT because you still 2 shot chads to the thorax

[woeful spruce]

Real

[fast walrus]

what armor do i use i dont know much about armor or ammo

[woeful spruce]

What lvl are you amd what lvl workbench you got?

[timid igloo]

okok thanks

[fast walrus]

im lvl 19 with workbench lvl 1 cos im bad at hideout stuff

[tiny fox]

if you are planning to run labs at your current level dont bother with armor

[fast walrus]

any ammo suggestions for a svt

[tiny fox]

lps gzh works well and isnt expensive

[fast walrus]

im just trying to learn pvp

[tiny fox]

snb or bs if you have those lying around in your stash

[fast walrus]

yeah alr

[tiny fox]

1 shot to the head will insta doink any player you see

[fast walrus]

also how to get labs cards easy cos i only have 1

[tiny fox]

you either find them or buy them from the flea market

you can find them on dead scavs mostly

or if you scav run alot you will find them aswell

[carmine jetty]

how to level up charisma skill?

[torpid field]

Basically by just playing the game 🙂

[torpid field]

Get your scav karma over 4 and you'll get them on your scav pretty often

[dry flint]

more like 3. ever since I reached that threshold, i have been getting keycards every 3rd or 4th scav raid

[strong fractal]

By your experience, what most useful method of killing pmc by 80 meters?

For jeager quest

Cause I need this old goat for my base

[solemn hazel]

eh to be honest, just get your intel station in the hidout to lvl 3, may involve some labs but the 20% cd on scav timer and less flea market fees are big

[fast walrus]

i like killing scavs as a scav

[solemn hazel]

granted Lvl 2 Int centre gives 15.45% Scav timer CD

[fast walrus]

im in labs rn wish ne luck

[solemn hazel]

Hahahh what region?

[fast walrus]

au and im a timmy

[solemn hazel]

Its fine, labs is the breeding ground of chads

it will either make or break your experience with this game tbh xD

[fast walrus]

last lab i got fucked by a 20kd nake cheating or legit?

[solemn hazel]

Depends, but we dont hackustate in the discord

[fast walrus]

mb

[solemn hazel]

You can check his profile and make a educated guess based on different stats

Generally the sus people i have run into will have a weirdly balanced stats page, ie 200hrs with 1500 kills and a 8.7 KD

( granted that alone does not mean someone is cheating)

[fast walrus]

yea i didnt know i couldnt hackustate sorry

[solemn hazel]

It will come down to how they actually play within the match, If he moves faster then any other PMc you have seen that can be a red flag, or if he knows exactly where you were after making no noise ect, and you dont gotta appologise to me i aint no mod

[fast walrus]

and my raid went well i got a kill and got jump peek by two chads

[solemn hazel]

🤣 i love getting jump shotted, i cant help but laugh cause its pure RNG when jumping

The style points thooo 🤤

[fast walrus]

im gonna go broke buying cards

[solemn hazel]

Scav run streets man, there are so many loose loot spots and usually a few dead PMC's just laying around near lexos

easy way to get kits and money

take em to lab and if you live you profit MAJORLY

[fast walrus]

if my pc dosnt blow up trying to load into streets

[solemn hazel]

there is a setting in the menu called Streets Of tarkov low performace mode or something, its a check box on the bottom of the Munu

If you have it enabled from what i have heard even 10 series cards can run it

[fast walrus]

yea i have that on and all low setting but its still pretty bad i can handle it tho

[solemn hazel]

these are the settings i use personally with a 2070 super and I9-9900KF i generally get about 60fps if im not in a bad part of the map with lots of fire

[fast walrus]

yea i have some what same settings

[solemn hazel]

Honestly thats probbably why streets is such a lag fest, the ammount of background Fire, buildings ect, dont get me wrong it adds to the enviroment but it tanks performance probbably

Oh fullscreen will always give better overall FPS

[solemn hazel]

Also when you say you are a timmy, Define Timmy

[fast walrus]

150hrs and 54 pmc kills not knowing any armor or ammo 🙂

[proven mason]

pm me if u new and need help or with some quests

[solemn hazel]

Ahhh, a chad in the making

simple cheat for ammo 7.62/39 7.62/51 & 54R are all pretty broken atm

[fast walrus]

yea im not to good with quest i can do them but i dont find them to fun i really like the pvp in this game

[solemn hazel]

The wiki is your best friend

[fast walrus]

tru

[solemn hazel]

if you go to #wiki-chat and type !wiki then quest name it will query the wiki for you

[fast walrus]

oh that cool i didnt know i could do that

[solemn hazel]

you can also !wiki items

for example !wiki Syringe

or !wiki Bloodset

one thing to bear in mind about the wiki though, while i personally havent had any major issues with the information doesnt mean that everything on the wiki will be 100% accurate

always take it with a grain of salt per say

[fast walrus]

im ded to raider 😭 😭

[grim karma]

does it mess something up with lightkeeper or no?

because its on his island and its a skier task

so idk if I should turn it in

[teal depot]

How did you get it ? You got light keeper?

[grim karma]

yeah

[teal depot]

I don’t think it does but look it up

[grim karma]

after one of his quests

[teal depot]

First

[grim karma]

yeah

[grim karma]

i cant find anything about it

[tidal lagoon]

it does nothing with LK just turn it in

[grim karma]

Ok thanks

[short crypt]

bro is NOT a beginner

[grim karma]

well i havent played for 3-4 years

so i am not a beginner anymore I guess but I was at begining of wipe

[mint vine]

Anyone have any tips for the bronze pocket watch I always keep dying while doing it

[soft tapir]

i got spawn camped as a scav two times in a row

[coarse basin]

Make that in 2 raids. 1st take key and extract. 2nd get the watch and extract

[bronze inlet]

wait for late in the raid, its usually more hostile early in the raid

[mint vine]

But even when I had the pocket watch I either die to a scav or get extract camped

I'll try to wait longer in raid though

[bronze inlet]

if youre dying to scavs, theres no tips that can help you, you need to go practice playing the game. Go to factory in offline mode, set scav AMOUNT to high, and check tagged and cursed

[deft bear]

can someone help me get 3 pistols kills?

[tidal lagoon]

you should avoid that quest for a while, it doesnt lead to nothing and isnt of significance

its just a money drain

[frosty musk]

And you lose a fairly significant amount of rep

[deft bear]

🙀

[late fossil]

can the junkbox also hold mags, bullets and stuff?

[torpid field]

Nope

[late fossil]

ahh, I see

[torpid field]

You need an ammo box and you need a mags case

[tidal lagoon]

holds items under the barter item category and a few others

[late fossil]

i am at 2 mill but miss like half my screw things and 2-3 more stuff, should i go for a junkbox? :/

[torpid field]

A junkbox as early as possible is huge, I have 3 now. Won't need more I don't think

[late fossil]

yeah because i do have a bit of junk and everyday the insurance comes in and i have to sell stuff that im gonna buy anyway like ak or armor or go force fight as pmc and coinflip the loot

cause no slots in stash

[torpid field]

When it comes to insurance you get a few days to claim it all so just take what you need until you have space for more.

[tidal lagoon]

yea junkbox is one of the first majoyr investments you want to do

[late fossil]

i see, thanks for tips 😄

[bronze inlet]

advised to use therapist as she gets it 14 hours sooner, holds it 2 days longer, and only costs 20% more

[strong fractal]

Need kind of tip by Jeager quest, one of them is about killing 8 pmc with gun like Mosinka, and the quest Wounded Beast. Can somebody give me good tips bout that?

[bronze inlet]

everyone shows clips of streets being loaded but when i go, i make maybe 300k? what am i missing? i looted lexos, IT and found relax key, then looted relax and this was all i got

[flint crypt]

How can it be that ppl kill me everytime I try to peek an angle quickly. I noticed on factory that whenever I try to lean peak into an angle, the other guys manage to kill me even though I am already back behind the wall. It's frustrating. How can you jiggle peek a corner without getting mowed down?

[strong fractal]

All of that stuff like 500-700k rubles for sure

[undone drum]

do you know that left peak is inferior to right peak?

[undone drum]

don´t trust the clickbait

[bronze inlet]

for bolt action kills, just go naked on factory and aim for the head. for wounded beast, you just passively do that as you play, you cant really focus it. just getting into fights will do it

[bronze inlet]

its people in the server!

[flint crypt]

I know, and I try to play right peeks, only, but still. I am used to shoulder peeking from cs, and I only want to gather intel by lightly peeking a corner.

[strong fractal]

Nah need 80 meters for killing PMC

[undone drum]

a lot of ego is on the server too. Don´t trust the pictures, ask for the method, route and so on.
A lot of ppl here like to show off and exagarate

[bronze inlet]

are you fast leaning or slow leaning?

[flint crypt]

I fast lean while also pre firing especially on factory.

[bronze inlet]

its slow leaning that is hard to see, not fast lean

[livid saffron]

any1 know how many kgs you can carry at elite strenght while still gaining stam?

[bronze inlet]

i think its 50

[livid saffron]

im at 28 and i can pack 51

[flat cipher]

that's not 300k lol

the green battery alone is like 200+

[livid saffron]

thats an ez 500k +

[pulsar coral]

forgot 556 ?

4.6x30

the 9x39

the blackout

[bronze inlet]

oh shit.... why?

bitcoin

[tidal lagoon]

basically yea

[pulsar coral]

btc has recently augmented a lot

[flint crypt]

Thx, your advice helped a lot, I also found out that in Tarkov you need to circle strafe to peek corners quickly. I can't tell you how much that helped, now I actually won some fights in factory.

[undone drum]

circle strafe to peek is when you do a circle on the ground?

[flint crypt]

You make quick circles with your pmc next to corners, that way the inertia doesn't kick in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=118Q_LbEgvQ

[undone drum]

yep

[light niche]

Hey level 2 here. New to this wipe. Haven’t played in awhile due to medial issues and was wondering if I can find a friend or two to play with. I know the ropes of combat I’m just not the best

[west plover]

how reliable is the disconnect symbol for woods...? and does it still show if shturman isn't there but goons are or vice versa?

[tidal lagoon]

pretty reliable in my experience, but also depends on the servers, some server can be unreliable it seems

it can show any boss, so shturman, goons and cultists

[orchid isle]

#pvp-lfg

[light niche]

And I supposed to tag that 0Fancy?

[late fossil]

is there a downside to insuring every run?

[orchid isle]

Ask in there, more likely you'll get response

[old seal]

is checking market prices a good way to compare quality of ammo? I don't know if I should use m855 or sost (can't afford better ammo)

[tidal lagoon]

??ammo

[carmine lantern]

Official BSG Ammo chart (Up to date as per 0.14.0) - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l_8zSZg-viVTZ2bavMEIIKhix6mFTXuVHWcNKZgBrjQ
Wiki Ammo chart - https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics

[tidal lagoon]

you generally want ammo with the most pen

[old seal]

I know this chart, but I don't know how to compare stats like frag chance, bleed chance, accuracy etc

[tidal lagoon]

useless stats, ignore them

look at damage and pen

[pulsar coral]

or he could go for leg meta if he has really bad ammo

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[old seal]

ok thank you 👍

[pulsar coral]

Tbh, if you penetrate t4 in one bullet ( effectiveness level of 6) it's rlly good

cuz it allow you to one tap head most helmet

[late fossil]

is there a guide for movement, like when u should run/walk etc? cause im having difficulties with that :/

[old seal]

If I could hit head/legshots on demand that would be great but I just spray like a monkey tbh lol

[pulsar coral]

if you spray like a monkey, i hope your using some good pen ammo

cuz else there is no way you kill someone with spraying (most of the hit will touch the protected parts) if you have bad ammo

[proven egret]

If you know where they are, run. If you don’t, walk and try to find out.

[old seal]

thank you

[pulsar coral]

well try to have "enough" stam when you are crossing a risky area

[late fossil]

well why should u give your position away and not try to walk and surprise them tho? will they not just stand still and preaim where u will be?

[pulsar coral]

and at the other time it depends on your gameplay

but tbh, i you go slow, it's easy to hs you

[proven egret]

I’m sure they will but if you know where they are you can kinda predict it

[pulsar coral]

if you go fast they now you are here, but if you know they are too, it's better

[tidal lagoon]

its more fun, but peakers advantage

u peak them u have advantage

[pulsar coral]

it all depends on if you know they are here or not

you know they are here

you go brrr and run to them

you have no info, you stay carefull

[late fossil]

if i run towards them they can just peak first if they are close to edge tho and catch me mid-run animation

[pulsar coral]

tbh, on street for exemple, i just run all the time, same goes for shoreline

[tidal lagoon]

yea you have to put some though into it

u cant just run towards someone everytime sometimes you have to play differently

[pulsar coral]

yeah you need to be able to modify your trajectory and think about what path you should take to get less exposed while running

[tidal lagoon]

if they are close to an edge u can nade them then run up since they are either dead or fell back to avoid the nade

[pulsar coral]

also know that jump in this game can pretty much save you

[late fossil]

not even my pc runs on streets XD

[late fossil]

lvl 1 traders not selling me nades feelsbad

[pulsar coral]

nade are pretty easy to loot

[late fossil]

cant find any...

[pulsar coral]

you just keep them, and when you go pmc, take one or two since you don't have many

[proven egret]

Reserve has a lot of grenade boxes and weapon boxes

[pulsar coral]

reserve, factory basement, etc

[proven egret]

Impact nades are your friend

[late fossil]

also should i do anything else other than tasks on my pmc? rn im just doing tasks on pmc and looting with scav

[proven egret]

That’s how I do it

[pulsar coral]

scav = easy, not risky money

[proven egret]

As of rn there’s no point in looting as a pmc imo

I loot as a pmc but not much just a few bags or rare spawns

[pulsar coral]

pmc = higher tier loot (maps is not looted when you spawn + key location) and fighting/Quest

[tidal lagoon]

if u want money its way better to run pmc

but much safer as a scav

[pulsar coral]

depends, you can hit really big with scavs run on street

[tidal lagoon]

yes but i can hit the same spots and better spots as a pmc

[pulsar coral]

i did a 4.5Million rubbles on street as a scav

[pulsar coral]

yup

[late fossil]

whenever i go pmc honestly im just walking most time trying to do no noise and still getting camped somehwere..

[mighty ledge]

how accurate is the battle buddy or whatever app on iphone

[pulsar coral]

well since campers are still campers, you just have to play "fast"

if you play fast they will do little movement

that you can hear

if you go slow, they'll just wait for you

[late fossil]

ah for example, say im on terragroup in ground zero, on the base floor, and someone is hitting the room on the first floor, do i walk up there and hope they dont leave by the time im up or just run and give my position and have ppl expect me?

[mighty ledge]

play more calculative, do u play cs and other shooters? for example if the map timing is as such, predict their movement and make your judgement whether to care more or not

you mentally can't calculate everything as it's still prediction based but you can actually play better this way.

[late fossil]

yeah, prety high elo on cs aswell 😄

[cold flower]

Honestly, the best way to avoid getting camped is to literally go through it to not commit the same mistake.

[pulsar coral]

tbf once you have finished you quest in ground zero, leave ground zero

[mighty ledge]

if youre lvl 10 like me you honestly shdnt have trouble tbh

[cold flower]

It leaves a core memory for that spot, so you're always cautious.

[pulsar coral]

yeah, dying to a rat isn't nice but it's a learning

if you want more rat spot check some videos of stankrat

[cold flower]

This is my first wipe and I have 680 hours, and I can confidently say I complain a lot about campers, but also I acknowledge the fact that I would've done something better to avoid it if I knew.

[pulsar coral]

it allow you to check for the most ridiculous spots

[pulsar coral]

same

[mighty ledge]

this

[proven egret]

Make your deaths a learning moment and the game is a lot easier tbh

[pulsar coral]

also, i noticed that if you shit yourself on tarkov, you tends to get shit on more

[mighty ledge]

is the account tagged to your profile your main?

if so, lvl 4 isnt much but your fps experience do carry over

[cold flower]

^

[late fossil]

lvl 4?

[mighty ledge]

good luck, tarkov is never forgiving but it does have really highs and lows

[cold flower]

Thanks to my FPS game knowledge and muscle training I had no trouble with ammo choicing, as I would always go for face regardless of what the person is wearing.

[late fossil]

ah, only played faceit when i was gn4 XD

[mighty ledge]

20k isnt a lot in premier as well

[late fossil]

rn i have hit supreme on cs1 and 20k on cs2

[pulsar coral]

tbf some ammo really good

just for one thing : the hipfire

[late fossil]

yeah not playing a lot these years mainly played some league 😄

[cold flower]

I was literally a KEDR main lol, I would run any bullet and call it a day.

[mighty ledge]

its okay tarkov is by far the most intensive game ive played as well so

[cold flower]

3300 kills at level 52

[pulsar coral]

kedr is good if you like it

[proven egret]

i still get kedr'd lmao

[mighty ledge]

run a pp19, you drop chads easy

[late fossil]

i also dont know what to do, like go in, if i die, do i just buy new loadout and go in again and repeat? xd

[cold flower]

Kedr better, wise words

[pulsar coral]

but ik, for myself and some people, kedr isn't good for some

[proven egret]

yes

[pulsar coral]

i do prefer glock 18c to kedr tbh

[mighty ledge]

those bastian or masked boys? they ntg in front of your pp19 if u headshot that shid beams

[cold flower]

Die as pmc, scav, don't die, continue.

[pulsar coral]

glock 18c leg meta, rip ammo

[cold flower]

Your scav is supposed to afford your PMC load out.

[late fossil]

what if u do scav go pmc and die in 3 min XD

[pulsar coral]

leg of the dude goes brrrrr

[cold flower]

Buy a shit kit and repeat.

[late fossil]

alright thanks 😄

[mighty ledge]

the devs did say they didnt make this game to be enjoyable

[cold flower]

Don't invest into helmets.

[mighty ledge]

its supposed to be difficult

[cold flower]

Either buy drip or shattered.

[late fossil]

really?

[proven egret]

which a lot of people dont understand

[cold flower]

Invest into a 6B13

[pulsar coral]

rip ammo on glock 18c in facto is such a vibe

[proven egret]

helmets are more for like scav shots tbh

im one of the rare people who runs a helmet consistently though

[cold flower]

I knifed an altyn kit that had gen 4 too LMAO

[pulsar coral]

for real

[cold flower]

He was low from Tagilla so I one shot him 😭

[pulsar coral]

glock are getting slept on

[proven egret]

m9a3>>>

[pulsar coral]

like if i wasnt to run a trash kit, i go glock 18c all the way

[late fossil]

got any good budget kits? i currently do like a modded aks-74U, csa chest rig, ssh-68, gssh-01 and paca soft armor

[cold flower]

I prefer semi

[pulsar coral]

full auto rip goes brrrrr

[cold flower]

I have mastery on glock 17

350 pistol kills

[pulsar coral]

same lmao

glock is just too good

[proven egret]

if u can buy it do avt

[cold flower]

Let's see.. what level are you?

[proven egret]

avt is underrated af

[cold flower]

First wipe? Do you have experience in Tarkov guns?

[pulsar coral]

now i'm just switching between pbp and rip for glock

[late fossil]

level 8 cause doing mostly scav runs, i think those dont count in xp right? 🥲

[pulsar coral]

they do

[cold flower]

Yeah they don't. They're seperate.

[pulsar coral]

nah xp won in scav run is still xp for your account

only thing that doesnt lvl up are skill

skill of scavs != skills of pmc

[cold flower]

Really?

News to me

[late fossil]

idk i have 90 raids and lvl 8 :/

[pulsar coral]

yeah, but the scav run xp is really low

[proven egret]

i mean you dont get any pmc experience as a scav so

[cold flower]

But, as a level 8 I'd recommend quest running with gssh and glock17/infantry mosin till level 15.

[late fossil]

with 35 being mc with an amazing survival rate of 13%, cheatter stats right there

[cold flower]

Use cheapest ammo, keep meds in pouch.

[late fossil]

no armor/bp?

[cold flower]

Also wear a balaclava, cheapest one.

[late fossil]

balaclava? does it do anything?

[cold flower]

You'd be surprised how many shots you can tank without armor.

[cold flower]

Hides your shining head.

[proven egret]

when youre going for quests you dont loot

[pulsar coral]

tbh you should have a gun, a tac rig and maybe an earpiece

[proven egret]

You can loot a little bit but mostly go for your task because thats ultimately gonna help you a lot more than anything else

always always always always bring ears

even gssh's

[pulsar coral]

if he can't afford "good" one it's not really worth it

[proven egret]

but m32s are the best low lvl ones

honestly they are, plus the m32s will give $ spent w skier

[cold flower]

Csa works for rig, bringing anything else is a waste of cash.

[lapis token]

whats this worth on flea?

[pulsar coral]

you need a rig if you don't wan't the scav focus

[proven egret]

like 120k i think last i looked

[cold flower]

Your main point is to avoid interactions anyway, if you're spotted you either hit a lucky shot or die.

[cold flower]

Yes.

[proven egret]

if you can mcsavage sell to therapist for the $ spent w her

[cold flower]

M32 are the best budget, yes, but cheaper is better for what he's doing.

[lapis token]

and also how much is a fp-1-- worth?

fp-100

[cold flower]

280k ish

[proven egret]

those are pricey on the flea

[cold flower]

Price varies

[proven egret]

i miss when they werent so expensive 😦

[pulsar coral]

new ? Expensive, used ? Not much

[lapis token]

300/300 endurance

[proven egret]

brother said endurance

[pulsar coral]

then expensive

but it's durability

not endurance

[proven egret]

endurance is a skill lmao

[late fossil]

u recommend flock + infantry or one of them?

[cold flower]

One

[lapis token]

to many mmo days of gaming

[late fossil]

thanks will try 😄

Proud of my mosin kills 💯

[proven egret]

mosin god

[arctic bobcat]

good shit, I should lowkey setup amd or sum so I can clip the last 10 min for myself

some squads create so many questions for me my head hurts more than their dead body

[cold flower]

Understandable

[proven egret]

medal is free and works fine

[cold flower]

I wouldn't recommend.

Demands a lot of PC performance.

[proven egret]

it does? hmm

i didnt know that

[arctic bobcat]

yeah thats why Ive got nothing atm, looking for sum that doesnt effect my pc much

tarkov is the high end of games I play on here

[odd heron]

what is the easiest way to figure out if someone is pmc or scav ?

[proven egret]

Clothing

[odd heron]

which things ?

[arctic bobcat]

scav things lol, its experience and getting so close you can see the watch all PMC's wear

[proven egret]

upper body, normally look for something brighter as most pmcs wont wear yellow

random hats, glasses etc its pretty simple

[arctic bobcat]

ask ppl to voiceline too, know the difference between bear russian and angry scav

[vale nexus]

So I got beta pouch, what do I do with alpha?
destroy?

[tidal lagoon]

put cool stuff in it

[vale nexus]

It takes up space

[tidal lagoon]

gives as much as it takes

[vale nexus]

Technically yeah but not everything can be put in it

[tidal lagoon]

this is what i do with my gamma

yes, one of the most important investments in the beginning

[cold flower]

Xbox gamebar, although it doesn't work sometimes it's very low demand and high quality. (That mosin clip was recorded with it. 1080p60FPS)

[cold flower]

I don't have a gamma 😭

[tidal lagoon]

u have alpha u can put shit in tho

[lapis token]

tetritz game console sell to traders or on flea?

[tidal lagoon]

flea

[unkempt egret]

There is a bitcoin barter that requires tetris and green batteries, depending on prices you can usualy sell that bitcoin to The Rapist for a net profit.

So flea

[finite sail]

been trying factory scav and reserve for couple of days cant find a makarov PM pistol, is there any other maps that has a good chance for them?

[lapis token]

how much should i put this tetrits board up for just because im curious

[proven egret]

just keep going reserve and hitting boxes tbh

[glad prawn]

not scav and murder scavs on woods

tons of green boxes for them to be in all over the map

[woeful spruce]

Probably 1000 rubles less than current lowest offer will be good

[molten kelp]

What is the variable scope that goes from the circle to a cross and where can i get it

[tidal lagoon]

are u thinking about vudu?

its on the flea for a chunk of ruble

[molten kelp]

Just looked it up yeah

[edgy plover]

Quite pricy, as are all variable scopes, but it's one of the nicer ones

[molten kelp]

Also does it matter if my sight/scope is on the end of my gun or closer to me?

[edgy plover]

only personal preference

if it's on the end of the gun it hops around more with recoil

so most everyone prefers it close

[molten kelp]

I like the reflex I’ve been using but want a zoomed in scope because i can just hip fire up close

[molten kelp]

Oh good to know

[frosty musk]

Also it is less clear and harder to see through further away

[molten kelp]

What do you guys think the best loot/highest survival rate map is? On any map except factory and sometimes reserve i always doe before i can extract

[woeful spruce]

Factory and reserve are some of tge hardest maps to extract out of so im kinda surprised. But relatively easy maps can be shoreline if you dont aproach resort or woods if you know where to go not to get sniped

[snow ginkgo]

Streets for loot survival rate go woods or something idk

[molten kelp]

I mean i def do know them better than the other maps so that could be why. I thought shoreline was hard, I’ve been avoiding a challenge on it

[snow ginkgo]

Shoreline is woods without trees

[molten kelp]

I hate woods so good

[snow ginkgo]

A lot of shoreline is a flat field with barely or no cover

[fading granite]

hey can anyone help me? brand new player and would appreciate if someone could introduce me to the game. EU (UK)

[molten kelp]

Can someone explain what zeroing is with a scope and how to do it?

[snow ginkgo]

Just ignore it doesn’t even matter

Makes like no difference

[molten kelp]

alright. sometimes when i use a scope the shot is like significantly off, thought zeroing might be why

[snow ginkgo]

are you using a scav gun

[molten kelp]

sometimes yes

[snow ginkgo]

probably why

[split grotto]

any tips on what maps i should play?

[edgy plover]

are you new?

[proven egret]

all of them

[split grotto]

yes

[edgy plover]

Start in Ground Zero, Woods, or Customs (my suggestions, start anywhere but Factory). You want to get one map down well. Don’t spread yourself thin early on. Focus on getting good enough at one map you can always go back there and make money if you need to, then go learn others.
https://mapgenie.io/tarkov
Use these maps - they'll look cluttered at first. Hit "Hide All" on the left-hand toolbar, then scroll down and only toggle on "Extractions" and "Locations". That'll give you a pretty good look - feel free to toggle on some loot options as you go

Head into a practice mode on one of those maps, toggle on some AI scavs, and try to get a feel for the map, movement, gunplay, scav killing, etc.
When you're ready - try to scav into one of those maps and actually get some loot out.
Then you can take your PMC in and try to do some quests or loot or simply survive.
Good luck - you will die, try to have fun with it.

[split grotto]

not that new but ive just been playing the same map for the whole time

[split grotto]

why not factory?

[tidal lagoon]

its a meat grinder

[split grotto]

ive been sweeping people there

[tidal lagoon]

thats good, u learn some pvp and stuff, most new people just go there and die and lose gear tho

[edgy plover]

No loot, few quests, just for PvP

[split grotto]

no loot?

the safe is the thing i go for

[edgy plover]

Yea factory has no loot

[tidal lagoon]

1 safe isnt "loot"

[edgy plover]

it has the 1 safe lol

[split grotto]

but its easy to get out

[tidal lagoon]

its a waste of time if you want to progress

[edgy plover]

^

[split grotto]

and like woods its impossible for me to stay alive and find loot

[edgy plover]

Woods is much harder to learn

But actually very useful to know

[split grotto]

is streets a good map

[edgy plover]

yes

if you can run it

[tidal lagoon]

best map for loot imo

[edgy plover]

100%

[tidal lagoon]

but ye as he said not that many can run it with acceptable fps

[molten kelp]

chances of me making it out of streets after only playing it once?

[tidal lagoon]

low

[edgy plover]

prob like 15%

[molten kelp]

i dont like those odds

[edgy plover]

but higher if you go at night

and play slow

[split grotto]

its running good for me

[tidal lagoon]

i saw that first one

more than me

[edgy plover]

60-80 is about as high as you can get it

[tidal lagoon]

unless u work for nasa

[split grotto]

i aint lagging on streats so i should be fine

[edgy plover]

Streets is also hard to learn, lot of rats, lot of player scavs
You will die learning it, a lot. It's how you have to learn any map

just keep after it

[woeful spruce]

Ok, so i dont know

[split grotto]

i can go into training raids still

[tidal lagoon]

guns are zeroed for a certain ammo type not scopes

[edgy plover]

Unless you're a hardcore sniping roleplayer, do not worry about zeroing

[molten kelp]

is there enough time left in the wipe for me to get like good

[tidal lagoon]

theres like 4months left probably

[sharp socket]

Most scopes are defaulted to their lowest which is typically 50 but certain reflex optics default to 25 right?

[edgy plover]

Yea there's plenty of time

[woeful spruce]

Really? I thought it was scipe based? So if i put a vudu on a pp19 its gonna get zeroed for some 9mm?

Thats crazy

[edgy plover]

There's some complexity there, but yea

[tidal lagoon]

yes, if you see guns on wiki you can see their default zeroed ammo

[woeful spruce]

I know how tge scopes like the pso work irl so i assumed they copied that into tge game

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[woeful spruce]

Ok so i retract my comments

[edgy plover]

zeroing in tarkov takes like an hour lecture to understand

not worth unless you really like sniping

cough cough tower

[tidal lagoon]

ure still right with the first part of ur comment earlier

[sharp socket]

Tower could go off about sniping and zeroing, 50m will be fine for the majority of engagements you will have

Unless your really trying to snipe or maybe do like Chris’s heir

[tidal lagoon]

yea, when u reach about 200-250m is when u wanna zero some guns imo

[molten kelp]

where is this/ whats it called on shoreline?

[tidal lagoon]

weather station

[molten kelp]

is the compass worth buying if im still learning maps

[tidal lagoon]

i dont think so personally

try to navigate with landmarks u can see around u instead

[prisma thorn]

can someone help me in ground zero to do quest shooting cans ?

[woeful spruce]

You get it from a very early prapor quest, search mission

So for sure dont buy it but when you get it it sometimes can help when just learning a new map

[molten kelp]

is my trader level the number under the trader? like scav rep for fence

[tidal lagoon]

no thats reputation

on the top left or right it will say I, II, III or a crown meaning 1-4

might actually be in numbers instead of roman

u see crown top left here

[split grotto]

just got a gpu!

[tidal lagoon]

nice

[split grotto]

i was actually praying for one

[molten kelp]

ive had one for a little but didnt know what to do w it. whats so special about it?

[split grotto]

and btw should i keep it?

[split grotto]

its rare and expensive

[tidal lagoon]

see the quest farming part 3

needs 3 GPUs FIR

rather early quest

[split grotto]

bút is it expensive tho

[rain vector]

Hi i am totally brand new lol

[molten kelp]

its kinda like fortnite

[rain vector]

What

[molten kelp]

eft

[rain vector]

I played some scav runs and then just practice with main character

[molten kelp]

holy shit a gpu goes for a mil on flea?? i was ab to sell it to therapist lol

ig im just gonna wait a lil

[tidal lagoon]

save it for quest not flea

[molten kelp]

i am broke

[tidal lagoon]

dont sell it

it is a massive mistake

[molten kelp]

so tempting

[tidal lagoon]

bad

[molten kelp]

A MILLION RUBELS

[maiden perch]

go scav streets twice and youll have a million

[pallid ruin]

you need 3 found in raid gpu's for a quest

[molten kelp]

first step learn how to get out of streets

and not die

[maiden perch]

yep, but once you learn it, you can make decent money

and dying is fine, just learn from it.

if it makes sense, start scaving streets, find a corner, go afk for 10-15 and then scav empty streets.

[molten kelp]

but by the time i spawn in as a scav, wont a lot of stuff alr be gone, and then if i wait even more stuff will be gone

[pallid ruin]

you can also learn stash spots on maps like customs and just scav there really quick, you can also make 400k+ every scav raid and it'll be easier for a new person

[molten kelp]

how tf u guys getting this much on a scav run

im lucky to come out with like 150k

[pallid ruin]

knowing where to loot - if you follow a certain path on customs you can loot 8-14 stashes in under 10minutes

also, high scav rep helps too - my scav spawns with at least 150k worth of loot and 90% of the time more than that by default so all i do nowadays is just scav factory and rush the extract for a quick nade / stim / labs keycard refill

[molten kelp]

yeah at first i tried to grind scav rep but would always die trying to coop or v extract

[pallid ruin]

yeah i managed to get 6 rep before they nerfed the rep from the car extracts a month ago

you'll get there eventually, a single survived scav raid is 0.01rep so sooner or later you'll do it - do try to prioritise vehicle extracts as a pmc though

[rain vector]

How do u see level etc for your scav

[molten kelp]

i just had the best loot ive ever seen on streets and died to a player scav

WHAT IS THE POINT OF KILLING SCAVS AS A SCAV

[late fossil]

find an experienced player, let them do the work of what is worth to keep and whats not, and u get the loot after. Stonks 📈

[molten kelp]

i did actually, found a friendly fellow scav and we both got destroyed

[late fossil]

• u dont care about ur scav rep cause that guy will prob have a good rep so he will spawn with good items, but u dont care about ur items cause u gonna get theirs 🤯

im kidding XD

[late fossil]

if he was low level prob thought u were pmcs, happens to me too, well i used to do it aswell and i still do it from time to time accidentally

also nowhere its stated that u shouldnt kill scavs as a scav so if they didnt hear it somewhere, they prob dont know

[molten kelp]

how can i get someone to coop wit hme

everyone either kills me or no one comes

[late fossil]

in scav or pmc?

[molten kelp]

pmc, i dont want to "waste" my scav bc i have 20min timer

[late fossil]

well, noone is obligated to team up with u and ppl are afraid to lose their loot so they are not that trusty with eachother

[native tendon]

ask them to drop their weapons before coming with u

[late fossil]

not that anyone would do that if u are holding a gun no?

[native tendon]

im ignoring all the coop extracts lol

ive seen it happen on streams so uhh

[late fossil]

might work, dont know, i would never do it tho

[native tendon]

its not something u can reliably do tho

[molten kelp]

bruhhhhhh how am i gonna get my scav rep up

[flat cipher]

car extracts

[late fossil]

20 min? whats ur fence rating?

[molten kelp]

guess im gonna have to do like 500 extracts

.55

[native tendon]

try shoreline car extract, the smugglers camp or w/e its called near it has some great loot

i do my loot runs there, loot up and take car extract in like 15min if u spawn close

[molten kelp]

do u go in with a good loadout?

[native tendon]

sometimes yes sometimes no

if i die a couple runs with good gear i go in with something cheap and light so i dont get overweight as quickly

id suggest just to focus on quests first till ur lvl 15

u make much more money at 15 when flea market unlocks

[molten kelp]

if im not fully confident in extracting with loot w my pmc should i just do scav runs for now

im not bad at pvp i just always die to a chad

[native tendon]

i hated scavving personally, its my first wipe too

just did it a couple times on maps i didnt know to learn extracts

700 pmc raids and 146 scav, still way more scav runs than i thought lol

[molten kelp]

yeah i guess i dont like scavving but i just look at is free loot

[native tendon]

eh i never had problems making money, a normal run nets me usually 300-500k

load out is also like 500k so 1 good run pays for my kit

[molten kelp]

WTF

streets?

[native tendon]

no i have bad fps on streets

[molten kelp]

what map u scav?

[native tendon]

i dont scav

i do the money runs on my pmc lol

just so i can be first at the good loot spawns

[molten kelp]

if only i had the funds to do that

[native tendon]

i loot here

sometimes nobody comes

u can try going in with a cheap kit

[molten kelp]

yeah im ab to

we'll see how it goes

[native tendon]

if u spawn left side i wouldnt recommend going all the way there tho

[mellow oxide]

is it better to do colleagues pt3 or sadist

[native tendon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkQI5rOZ4bQ i watched this vid on how to learn how to loot this map

pretty good one, i would recommend watching the whole vid

[molten kelp]

should i bring a big bag or will it just make me a target for other pmcs

[drifting basin]

Being alive makes u target for other pmcs

[molten kelp]

lol true

[native tendon]

big bag is essential

but maybe first couple times just go with a cheap kit so u get an understanding of the map/area

[regal depot]

need help with the introduction quest

[orchid isle]

light house, 500k minimum every 5 mins 60/5 = 12 12*500k = 6 mil minimum/hour

[native tendon]

lol 500k every 5 min?

do u just disconnect if u spawn south side beach

ur making 500k in the loading screen

[molten kelp]

is this radio tower

[native tendon]

yes

ur close to the loot place i mentioned lol

[molten kelp]

yea im trying to find it lol, is this it?

[native tendon]

turn a bit left then run straight

be careful for the mine field

[molten kelp]

mines are my worst enemy

i found it, i spawned here and looted it and then went in a circle 😭

a shit ton of loose lot

loot

HELP WHERE AM I

i need to go to east wing

[native tendon]

weather station is its name i think

[tidal lagoon]

bro i got dced standing in the open on top of a rock on lightkeeper island

[jagged laurel]

Scav?

[tidal lagoon]

Thats kinda my theory, a random scav just decided to aggro like 200m and start sniping at me cuz it was 762 bcp fmj

[atomic crater]

do you want a REAP-IR or a black key card. Sadist gives REAP-IR and colleagues gives the black card. although colleagues takes away .10 jaeger rep upon completion so if you care about your jaeger rep i wouldnt do it

[jagged laurel]

Also black keycard is only a mil profit

[lapis token]

best way to build scav rep?

[atomic crater]

take all the car extracts 3-4 times, try to convince pmcs to do coop which is easiest on reserve IMO due to limited pmc extracts, try to bait other play scavs into shooting you and becoming a bad scav by shooting near them then kill them for positive rep (risky technique but a fun one when it works)

[clever elm]

Other player scavs keep throwing grenades at me when playing as a scav. Is there any reason why or are they just trying to get loot?
