beginners-assistance

[ripe viper]

by this i mean i tried loading in there as a scav and crashed like 3 times, and tried changing settings too, but it just gets flooded with errors and i crash.

[unreal horizon]

could scav lighthouse

[ripe viper]

nah he wasnt particularly accurate, he just hipfired his m4 on me from like 10 meters while i was laying prone. he turned the corner from the house , ran straight towards me and taktaktak, and that was that

Its fine, ill just kill birdeye on woods again next scav run, its not a big deal guys

[fervent hull]

Definitely lighthouse for sure. Lots of good loot, just stay away from rogues until you have an understanding of how they work. I'd suggest a YouTube video to learn the map and maybe an offline. Lots of valuable spawns in broke containers and whatnot tho in plant. I pull alot of bitcoins, virtexs and whatnot

[ripe viper]

Alright thanks. So just scav it or use my PMC, since im usec and heard rogues wont target me?

[unreal horizon]

if you havent shot them for a few raids theyre less aggressive

but like its not a big deal to just kill them either

[fervent hull]

Scav it only if you're new, it has some fucked up spawns and difficult as a pmc until you learn. Just scav it for money and gear for your pmc runs

[mint light]

i feel like bro lowkey just died to knight

[serene bolt]

whats the best map to scav on for cash

[ripe viper]

i checked the profile, it was some dude with like 300 hours

[dark trail]

Streets

[serene bolt]

50 fps here i come

[dark trail]

Yessir

[ripe viper]

i would be lucky to load in

id even take 40 fps on that map

[serene bolt]

are the exflls easy to find i am new and stupid

[dark trail]

I have an addiction to streets holy

[dark trail]

somewhat, just look in a map or a guide

[unreal horizon]

its probably the easiest map to navigate

[ripe viper]

probably the hardest thing for a beginner honestly. Orienting myself on woods? panik

[serene bolt]

if your free i wouldnt mind some guidance 😅

[dark trail]

I’ll be on in about an hour when I come back from school I could help you the.

[serene bolt]

omg fr

[serene bolt]

awesome thanks, see you then

[serene bolt]

is there a right way to go about scaving? like focusing on certain areas only or just run around and go nside every buildng

[dark trail]

I hit up whatever’s close to me and I make a route in my mind going from spawn to extract

[serene bolt]

alr ive heard some people reccomend going straight to exfill but looting everything on the way

[dark trail]

so if I spawn over near bsg office and I have crash site the. I’ll hit bsg and school then do Concordia and extract

[serene bolt]

alr

[vital prawn]

Can anyone please help me unlock jeager, I am dogwater at this game, so sorry about that, just need help with "saving the mole" doing the quest in woods after ground zero would be appreciated as well

[dark trail]

If you already found the scientist dude then you can jump up on a window ledge and walk into the office where the hard drive is and get it there

[vital prawn]

I'll try a few more times, I just need help extracting

I know the exits now after a few scav runs, I just get shot up at one point or another would love to have a battle buddy so I have some help during raid

[sturdy tulip]

if anyone need assistance staying alive in game message me

[chrome pecan]

What’s the best way to learn extracts? Just grind one specific map until you remember them?

[patent bluff]

I'll be on in a hour or so if you want to run some just downloaded the game a few days ago looking to start leveling up my traders

[dark trail]

Combine a guide with scav runs or offline runs, then once you become confident do pmc runs

[sturdy tulip]

ok @patent bluff

[chrome pecan]

Alright. It’s hard. Haha. I’m just starting again and the extracts is the hardest thing for me. That and my pvp is Less then mediocre

[undone drum]

Do you know reserve?
This area, there are many wood containers, iskra might be there
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Reserve_(quest)

[dark trail]

Yep that happens but practice makes perfect, I’m still learning streets and I’ve done tons of runs on it

[chrome pecan]

You play solo? Have a buddy that has been playing with me and kinda teaching me. But he’s never on

[serene bolt]

whats the best map for pmc rn

[dark trail]

Sometimes solo but I play mostly with my friend, we both started around the same time so we are learning together

[noble kelp]

Thanks to whoever told me to stay until 10 minutes into the raid to quest:

[dark trail]

depends on what you want to do

[serene bolt]

money

[dark trail]

Streets

[serene bolt]

i am too dumb to navigate myself around woods

[dark trail]

Ez 700k per run

[serene bolt]

if only i knew what i was doing 💀

[dark trail]

30m and I’ll be on

[serene bolt]

amasing

[dark trail]

You got a mic?

[noble kelp]

Not if you run into every boss, like I do

[dark trail]

Just avoid kurt cobain and Laban

[serene bolt]

yuh

[dark trail]

kaban*

[noble kelp]

With my luck, I'm gonna avoid no-one

[dark trail]

Gl

I hope u find bitcoin!!

[noble kelp]

I actually did on lighthouse, and got killed at the 10 minute mark next to warehouse 1 campers

Up perched at a rock

I was a scav*

[dark trail]

Did you pouch it

Oh

Rip

[noble kelp]

What level are you

1st wipe?

[dark trail]

20, 1st wipe

[noble kelp]

You're coping well. Well done!

[dark trail]

Yes

[noble kelp]

Interchange, got ratted by 2 players and was trapped by a 3rd party.

[dark trail]

Rip

[noble kelp]

Yesterday, I died 7x in a row on streets

[dark trail]

I played interchange twice and the second time I died to the boss

[noble kelp]

Time for round 2

[dark trail]

gl man

[noble kelp]

Thanks, but this game promotes an unhealthy play style to survive

[dark trail]

How so, I just run around avoiding pvp

[noble kelp]

Rats.

Groups.

[noble kelp]

Playing as a duo is easy mode

[dark trail]

Rats: push them they have no pvp skills

Groups: skedaddle

[noble kelp]

Rats in groups: Impossible

[dark trail]

Yep

[inner flume]

Some of us rat for sport and not necessity ❤️

[dark trail]

Ah

[noble kelp]

Cool. You paid $150 to stare at bushes for 30 minutes

[inner flume]

I shift W enough to see the landscape lol, then sometimes i comfortably eat food for 20 mins while chilling, see you run up and leg meta you (just for fun) right at the extract and i thank you for bringing me the juice

[weary scarab]

Is there a way to have presets not fuck with my pouch?

[inner flume]

Take your pouch out when you make the preset and you'll only have to put it back on yourself after putting the presets on later, rather than having to change the inside of the pouch

[serene bolt]

Should i scav now or wait for you?

[dark trail]

Wait I’m literally outside my house lol

[serene bolt]

oop lmao

[idle shuttle]

Me questioning why my scav had less and less extractions and then figuring out what fence's quest are for was a trip ngl

[noble kelp]

Tried what you did on interchange, got naded.

[inner flume]

Then maybe even rats need a lil bit of pvp skills

[noble kelp]

No, they didn't even know I was there. There was a 2 man running and they naded my exact spot

That single guy

[inner flume]

If you went to the latest stankrat video's spot you will get checked lol

[noble kelp]

No, I just picked a random spot and sat there

Waiting for the passing fire ahead to blow over

Instead, I got naded in the EXACT spot when I made ZERO sound

Report all ESP users

He had a 7 k/d ratio

[inner flume]

I'm not quite sure what im supposed to say when you might have been just seen or thermaled or who knows, maybe you got sussed on, doesnt have anything to do with the ratting strategy really shit happens if ratting was fail proof more people would do it, and a 7k/d ratio isnt anything to be too sus about, anything under 10k/d is in achievable range for anyone with decent hours in the game

[wise oar]

can someone come with me to woods rq for a task

[inner flume]

what task

[wise oar]

search mission

[noble kelp]

I couldn't have been thermaled when I was in a tight, narow space with barriers blocking los.

[inner flume]

Ok well perhaps the guy wasnt legit, still nothing to do with the strategy as a general rhing

[tidal lagoon]

thats a normal kd

[unreal horizon]

Can't really call anyone sus on kd alone

Unless it's something egregious like triple digits lol

[noble kelp]

Random nade tho

Oh well, next game.

[late fossil]

why am i stuck in matching for the past 13 min..? and i was stuck for another 8 before restarting..

[undone drum]

Bug. Restart game

[noble kelp]

ratting on interchange at 25 minutes remaining

[tidal lagoon]

nothing sus about his stats

[noble kelp]

No, I'm just saying he has no life

level 62, ratting

[tidal lagoon]

ye if hes ratting thats busted

idk what crack hes done lately

[noble kelp]

My stats as a pmc

I didn't play until a month later btw

After the 1st day or so of wipe

[noble kelp]

^

[inner flume]

Yeah stats are nothing surprising for his hours, like i said brother once in a while some people rat for sport

[tidal lagoon]

ure not doing bad for being new, i dont have anything to compare it to really but i think ure pretty on par with others at a similar stage

[inner flume]

And 25 minutes remaining is not late in the game to extract camp

[noble kelp]

Not extract. A random store

[tidal lagoon]

i means hes lvl 62 and seems to be hunting killa so idk what hes doing

[noble kelp]

Started last year, taking this wipe seriously

[inner flume]

Have you considered the extreme possibility that the guy just heard you a second earlier than you heard him, he stopped what he was doing and just held the corner or something? without a video its hard to tell but my guess is that this is what really happened

[hazy veldt]

You've never gone fishing, I guess.

[hazy veldt]

why 100 runthroughs?
Boss checking?

But stats don't really mean much, unless obvious 15+kd, since they can just go suicide in factory for a few hours to dump it.

[tiny plume]

does anyone know any good ways for me to get loot

this is my first wipe, i've been playing for 2 months and i'm only lvl 9

[unreal horizon]

Worry about questing until you're 15, then loot

Rn you can't sell for much anyway

[tiny plume]

whats a good way to get xp

[edgy plover]

Quest

Don’t die

[tiny plume]

type of advice my friend needs 🤭 (we both suck)

[tidal lagoon]

probably, i have 200

[late fossil]

why do i just keep getting lag spikes? when i join i get like 1 fps for a min and then i get like 80 and i get spikes going down to 10 fps

[ripe viper]

Do i sell the plague doctor mask to ragman, or do i trade it in for a five seven and play sam fisher on interchange??

58K sounds robust considering im DIRT poor so...

[south nimbus]

what am i missing for gunsmith part 5

[ripe viper]

gotta be compact, no more than 4 slots

(cut off the stock)

[south nimbus]

what do you mean cut off the stock

figured it out, gun was not repaired

[ripe viper]

Ah i thought you wewre asking for part 1 lmao im sorry

[south nimbus]

all good lol

[ripe viper]

I only read until "gunsmith" im ignorant and a noob. Not a good combo if ur trying to help

[wind abyss]

can you play arena 1v1 againsta friend?

[noble kelp]

Is the best way to quest waiting in raid for until the last 15 minutes and complete it?

[unreal horizon]

ig its safer but that sounds boring asf

[tired socket]

anyone wanna take me under their wing and teach me some shit

[noble kelp]

Beats dying 10 raids in a row

[tired socket]

i have no idea what im doing

[noble kelp]

What level?

And sorry bud, literally got off

[merry berry]

That late is how u run into pscavs

[noble kelp]

Not really

Unless you’re placing lighthouse or maybeeee streets

[mild wadi]

looking for some help with the beginner quests, looking to learn streets as well

[vital prawn]

can anyone group up with me and help me run introduction to unlock jeager?

[feral moth]

Introduction?

[vital prawn]

yeah the mechanic quest that unlocks jeager

[late fossil]

are airplane drops in every raid or have a %?

[feral moth]

Not sure what the % is but it is random. unless u use a red flare.

[late fossil]

red flares trigger airplane drops?

[feral moth]

yes. red flares are somewhat rare to find. you can spawn with them as scavs and use them whenever even as a pmc when u extract with it

Kenedien ill get on soon if u still need help

[late fossil]

will the drop drop on u or random?

[vital prawn]

I'm just joinine a game but after that I'd highly appriciate that

Sorry for bad typing, eh

[feral moth]

the drops have like certain spawn radius. so if you pop it, it will drop near ur certain position. so for example if u pop it and the nearest spot is like 10 meters and anothre at 17meters it will land at that 10m spot, but it is really close to where u popped it

[tacit ginkgo]

can some1 pls help me complete introduction?

[exotic depot]

it is always granted as a monument if you mean the crashed airplane that where the note is nearby

[austere sonnet]

Should I be looting and selling everything I can find?

[exotic depot]

That's a personal choice, you should consdier firstly and foremost if you'll need it in the future, for example, MRE packages might not be handy for the you of today, but on the future you're going to need them for some tasks

[austere sonnet]

Im lvl 3 and I only have money and a few bandages in my stash

and like, 3k

[feral moth]

galil woods 4

[exotic depot]

all empty?
why or how?

[elder otter]

mind if i tag along

[undone drum]

are you NA or EU?

[undone drum]

you have woods quest too?

[elder otter]

yeah, find jager

[undone drum]

EU or NA?

[elder otter]

NA

[undone drum]

allright, i am EU, your ping will be too high, if we play

[elder otter]

any1 down to go woods and show me that boy jaeger

[icy steeple]

what are the requirements??

[undone drum]

google tarkov wiki task name

[swift briar]

hi, we got team killed from someone in this discord. i tried to report it to the bot but the video file was too large. how do i send the clip?

[mint light]

upload to streamable/youtube or put it in a video compressor

[swift briar]

ty

[slow rain]

is anybody low level enough to run ground zero with me. never played the map and havent done any quests

[distant fable]

which task unlocks m80 and m61 ? 😩

[inner flume]

M80 is revision-Lighthouse from peacekeeper, m61 is locked behing a quest at lvl 55iirc

[distant fable]

oh ok thanks!

[wintry dove]

Can anyone help me with some simple tasks?

[mellow oxide]

I have a 5800x3d and a 3070, 32gb of ram and avg like 50fps on streets any help?

[inner flume]

Toggle the low resultion option, the difference isnt noticeable and you will get higher performance

[still berry]

Whats the best Overall volume to play at in tarkov? i have been told 80% is good for amplifing footsteps while making other things quiter but even on max system volume it seems a bit too quiet

[dim zealot]

So I keep dying even with the drop on people, I hit them so many times yet I cannot for the life of me kill ANYONE, please can I get a tip?

[still berry]

ammo types

what kind of ammo are you using

[fallow sapphire]

for gunsmith part 17 what is the easiest way of gettin an ak with 60 durability?

or if anybody has any tips

[still berry]

cant you repair it?

[dim zealot]

Can’t remember, I’m dead…

[fallow sapphire]

to make it from 100 to 60?

[still berry]

oh it needs to be 60

i see

[dim zealot]

So spend money on good ammo?

[still berry]

https://www.eft-ammo.com/ check the ammo you are using

make sure it has decent pen and flesh damage

[dim zealot]

Will do

[fallow sapphire]

wait, i am reading something wrong, i guess it has to be min 60 durability?

[dim zealot]

Appreciate it

[still berry]

otherwise your rounds are either not penetrating and doing no damage or they are over penning (which really isnt a issue most the time) and not doing enough

[still berry]

i would assume so

[fallow sapphire]

my bad, i bought a green front grip and it had to be olive lmao

[dim zealot]

Saved it to my tabs, thanks

[still berry]

i use it all the time

one of the best websites for tarkov out there

[dim zealot]

I’ll make sure to do the the same

[slow rain]

is anybody low level enough to run ground zero with me. never played the map and havent done any quests

[mint vine]

I died with Ledx is it worth keeping or do I just sell it

[lilac crest]

If you don't have medstation lvl 3 then keep but otherwise sell

[mint vine]

Ok thanks

[lilac crest]

np

[stone gyro]

i cant win any gun fight. does anyone have gunfighting tips

i feel like i flinch or im just caught inbetween gunfire and die everytime. like there isnt an oppurtunity to return fire

[undone drum]

how many hours?

[stone gyro]

should i buy areana?
would that help?

[stone gyro]

117

[undone drum]

does it happens on maps you don´t know well?

[stone gyro]

i know all the maps and their exits and such. but its always at random when i die

[undone drum]

while questing?

or looting?

[stone gyro]

both

i just dont understand

[bold kernel]

gz me, just unlocked Flea, first wipe

[stone gyro]

is there like a video or some guide that will teach me how to properly win gunfights becuase i havent extracted in about last 20 raids and im really tired of it

ill take any advice

[undone drum]

Every map has high loot areas. Those and obvious paths from spawn to high loot areas are hotspots.
Avoid them or be very cautious there.
Also some maps has chokepoints like customs

The magical word is called safe pathing. Go, where ppl don´t go for questing. Separate questing and pvp/looting

[stone gyro]

i feel lost becuase i swear i do that and watch guides on it and still die

mabye i am just that bad but idk

should i wait till next wipe

[undone drum]

no

less geared people but more crouded

[undone drum]

what maps for example?

[brazen swift]

looking for help on shoreline, anyone?

[stone gyro]

lighthouse for example. i will avoid and hid behind lots of cover and stay out of sniping areas. i only go into cautious areas if i know for sure i see no movement

then i just hear two snaps and die

[undone drum]

ligthouse is the worst map for survival. If you spawn in the south, ppl either camp or snipe

[undone drum]

do you have quests there?

[stone gyro]

no becuase im still stuck on the first quests and i cant complete any of them without help. i will prob have to ask tn if anyone will join me on some of them

ill try that tn

[undone drum]

with time and lots of deaths you will get a feeling for timing for certain map, that you play a lot.
Not only will you know where ppl can be, but also when.

[undone drum]

On Ground Zero?

[stone gyro]

yeah find the mole

and i lost the key somehow so idk if i can even do it

[undone drum]

of course you can. Just find the key again in the body

[stone gyro]

its not there anymore

i dont have it on me

wtf lol. can i buy it?

[undone drum]

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

[undone drum]

Either its there or people found it and opened the door

If they opened you can do it yourself

[stone gyro]

i can climb the window sill too

i didnt know that, well thanks for sharing that

[undone drum]

check tarkov wiki for every quest, there is like pictures and hidden info, that you don´t get from quest description

[undone drum]

Also, do you wear headset and do you know, what movement does what noise?

[stone gyro]

no

[undone drum]

wear headset. cheapest is better then no headset

[stone gyro]

but ive heard the audio is awfully bugged

and unrelibile

[undone drum]

its a bit bugged but 95% reliable

[stone gyro]

i have iems but i still cant understand where they are. like audio wil be infront of me but hell come behind me somehow

its so weird

[undone drum]

here knowledge is power. Loud things are:

• going through bush
• turning in a bush, when you sit there (you don´t hear it yourself)
• going on wood, glas, metall, running on it is worse

[undone drum]

whats iems?

[stone gyro]

chu ii

[undone drum]

headset?

[stone gyro]

earbuds but iems are like studio quality in a sense

they really are like a game changer.

[undone drum]

don´t matter. You need in game a headset. always

[stone gyro]

not true these are better than headsets most of the time

[stone gyro]

oh

[undone drum]

on your character i mean

[stone gyro]

im stupid

yeah ofc

[undone drum]

no worries

[stone gyro]

i got no rubles so i have to complete a scav run and sell or find ofc

[undone drum]

also wear mask: cheapest maks will hide your shining face. It really is much brighter then clothing

[stone gyro]

i didnt know that. ok got it

[undone drum]

we are not finished, you ready to continue?

[stone gyro]

yeah

[undone drum]

so far we covered:

1. map basics (timing, hotspots, safe pathing)
2. stealth basics: moving and hearing

what we need to cover: principles of pvp survival

[stone gyro]

ok

[undone drum]

i need to know, do you struggle with

1. campers that you don´t see?
2. pvp, where you see each other?

[stone gyro]

both, its just at random whichever happens

[undone drum]

to avoid campers you need to know about timing: high loot areas and path to them from spawn, are camped specially in the first 10 min.
Avoid them, unless you are close to them

There are maps, where every spawn is shown and expirienced players know, where others spawn

[stone gyro]

what about late game camping at extracts

[undone drum]

https://tarkov.help/en/map/ground-zero/

[stone gyro]

yeah i do look at a map while playing

is ground zero really newb map

it doesnt feel like it at all

[undone drum]

die, learn where they camp, clear it

next time

[stone gyro]

ok

[regal depot]

you trying to get quests done?

[stone gyro]

yeah

[regal depot]

[stone gyro]

[undone drum]

[mighty ledge]

is the 80/80 for item case worth?/

dogtags

[bold kernel]

can i copy paste name of the item to flea market when trying to list it so i dont have to type it every time?

or is the most effective way right click filter by item?

[mental ember]

anyone mind me sending them a pic of junk box and u lmk what to sell

[bright arrow]

KILLED KILLA AS SCAV AND IT'S BEEN 5 MINTUS LOOKING LIKE THIS AFTER EXTRACT

[light latch]

crafting a salewa wont +1 to the top task right? itd only let me turn it in to the second?

also, does finding one but dying without extracting still +1 to the top task

[tardy trout]

It can be crafted

[mental ember]

yeah u can man

[light latch]

oo ok, so whats the point of having them separate even

like wouldnt it just be the same thing if they only had the 2nd one

[mental ember]

cus u can hand in not found in raid ones

[tardy trout]

all of the "turn over found in raid item" tasks are like that

[light latch]

ohh, if you found them prior to starting the quest you could turn it in for the 2nd, but the 1st one would still be 0

[mental ember]

no its still gonna go up

[light latch]

oh

[bold kernel]

Bruh weapon repair kits are now at 100k

Used to be 89 or something

[knotty flower]

Is it worth to Farm the other enemy faction in lighthouse besides the scavs for loot

[bold kernel]

Wdym

[tardy trout]

if you can efficiently kill the rogues without taking shots, then yes. the attachments/weapons can be worth a little bit

the real money is in the buildings though. tons of rare spawns in each of them

[south wave]

Does anyone have a guide on how to maintain stashes? It's arguably a big part of the game and I'm sure there are good methods to keep a stash in check.

[daring rampart]

its a mishmash of knowing valuable barter items to sell in bulk, shit you need for quest, crafts and hideout construction, weapon attachments that run out of stock or are hella expensive, barter items for barters themselves (weapons, armor, ammo) and not keeping ANYTHING you can buy to order except ammunition and attachments. If you have access to a standard M4A1, you shouldnt keep a fully decked m4 in your stash but only its attachments. If you can buy an armor, unless its real rare or meta, dont let it hog your stash space.

if you arent using it next raid, vendor it

or itll just rot in your stash

[south wave]

Thanks!

[daring rampart]

Things like Scav Junkbox, Holodilnik (minifridge), ammo, mag, med and grenade cases will let you hoard most of the items for selling or consuming. Meds, food, grenades and ammo are worth collecting and stockpiling.

[south wave]

Made a stickynote with this info, thanks!

[vital hawk]

amyone want to help me complete quest on ground zero theripist emercom station

[weak sleet]

I have a couple zhuk bnti's with t6 plates in them. Is it common practice to remove these plates and put them in a different armor? if so, which armor?

[half quest]

id say no cuz the zuk has lv3 aramid and includes neck so... id say thats fine?
what some ppl do as well though is putting a lv4/5 in the backplate and use the lv6 backplate as a frontplate for a diff one

[edgy plover]

prob factory, but just cause it's so small
bad map for new players as it's just PvP
Ground Zero and Customs are both pretty easy

[wanton skiff]

Do i need to meet Jaeger to complete gun smith part 1

[wanton skiff]

Factory i guess

[idle shuttle]

Yeah

Factory or ground zero

[burnt kraken]

Why am I stuck at connecting to server?

On a practise server

Wat

[tardy pebble]

id def put a GAC for the backplate and then use the LVL 6 back in a osprey or smth

[edgy plover]

No but it makes it easier

[rough rain]

Tarkov oceana servers down? Flea market crashed and now i cant launch the game...

[vital hawk]

when extracting when with car or truck is their a way to not bring in so many rubles

[mental ember]

shift drag

[vital hawk]

thanks casue i dont want to bring in a stupid amount of rubles to extract

also thanks for info

[tawdry maple]

is tarkov down at the moment ?

[vital hawk]

is modding weapons diffcuilt

[tawdry maple]

no

if u know what u are doing

dont take long to learn

[mental ember]

not at all

once u mess around w it youll get the hang out of it

use guns you feel comfortable with thats the most important thing just try everything till u like something

[vital hawk]

thanks for info

[half quest]

its much easier now - i think if u have the workbench(?) in hideout u can just right click on the gun and press edit preset. theres an info thing that shows u the stats and all the things you can put on the specific scopemount, all foregrips etc and how it affects the gun statwise

[vital hawk]

what is the best backpack to get for collecting loot

[undone drum]

Take whatever you have or cheapest, kills scavs and take their backpack if its better

[dapper mist]

Um, on psycho sniper if i have only level 9 sniper and i get all 5 kills and die do i still fail the task?

[fallow sapphire]

why the fuck do i get a penalty for killing scavs

[reef frigate]

Don't expect to level up easily by purely playing.

[chrome fog]

[ripe viper]

I got a ushanka hat, i heard they are valuable for quests or a barter later on, but I am like lvl 7 and didnt even finish the second round of quests. Can i just sell it to save stash space?

I am in dire need of stash space so i dont know if its a thing i want to hoard tbh.

[frosty musk]

You probably don't need ot

[rose lion]

low lvl just sell stuff, you'll find em later on

[ripe viper]

Like, i just want to know if it will be useful SOON or much later so i can just sell it

aight thanks

[rose lion]

np

[glass wedge]

Is there a site i can use to easily find out what should be selling on flea vs traders? Im only level 9 but im piss broke and theres things like broken lcds im saving to sell on flea

[dapper ocean]

anyone think they can run some raids with me, just questing. need a chad

[obtuse light]

Does anyone knows if scavs spawn with cultists on night factory? or it is same rull like with others that there wont be scavs around them

[tidal lagoon]

[sullen vault]

[reef frigate]

17h to craft a gas analyzer is crazy

[tawdry maple]

GREEN

[ripe viper]

dang bro

uh what was i supposed to do?

also how did it absorb more damage THAN IT WAS DEALTH lmao

[austere hound]

Bullets didn't pen

Also, you were supposed to click head

[tardy trout]

or the legs if the ammo is bad

you shoot his gen4 with bad ammo, you will have a bad time

[ripe viper]

I did

he had some vizor bullshit. I shot him (im like DAMN SURE I did but apparently not) with a mozin, and then switched to shotty, and clicked around the neck area like 3/4 times

I was using the revolver shotgun thing

i think its 7mm buckshot?

eh its ok not like i lost much, just still, I had googly diluted eyes while he took like 4 shotgun shots and missed two mags on me

so it was almost funny. probably could have shouted TRUCE or I GIVE UP or something and we both would have gotten bored. Me not penning and him not hitting lmao

[quick patio]

whats the point of this game? im a little confused

[edgy plover]

Load in, and extract.

[austere hound]

To enjoy yourself

[edgy plover]

Everything in between is totally up to you. PvP, quests, loot, etc.

The only goal is getting out alive

[quick patio]

ok thanks

[languid spear]

I just started playing and Jesus this game is hard 😂 but it’s fun

[austere hound]

Yeah the learning curve is brutal

[languid spear]

Im new to pc too so I’m really behind

[austere hound]

You'll feel like a toddler learning to wade water for a long while, but eventually you start treading

[languid spear]

Any tips on leaning ? It feels weird

[austere hound]

Wym? What's weird about it

[edgy plover]

Set it to a toggle, so keep it on Q and E, but make it press instead of continuous over on the right

Makes it way easier to move while leaning

[unreal horizon]

i like having them backwards so like q right e left

[languid spear]

Yea I be trying to move while leaning

[unreal horizon]

so to swing right i hold d and q

[edgy plover]

That makes my head hurt

My muscle memory would be so mad at me

[languid spear]

😂 I might try that though

[tardy trout]

yeah, but its so he can swing and lean at the same time

[unreal horizon]

i did that in r6 before i played tarkov so i aws already used to it

[edgy plover]

I get it, I just prefer keeping lean on a toggle for that, but if you can get used to it early then it seems like it would work well

[unreal horizon]

regardless, pick 1 way and stick with it

[indigo arch]

hey so I just extracted through the taxi, but somehow this quest is still not viable for compleition. Any ideas?

[tardy pebble]

You need to pick up the smartphone and extract through the taxi in the same raid
I think it has been a buggy quest before too tho

[indigo arch]

what if I have the phone on my person (already got it a few raids ago) and then extract using the taxi?

[tardy pebble]

doesnt count, phone and taxi have to be same raid

really dumb quest

[indigo arch]

damn it. Should I just get rid of the phone and try again?

[tardy pebble]

Id focus on doing other quests first as that one is a pain in the ass and doesnt really give anything

[unreal horizon]

if you're not dead yet its a scav

[quick patio]

thank you

whats a scav, and why is there a difference

[austere hound]

Movement + clothing. Scavs wear bright clothing and move on a rigid way

[quick patio]

why does not being dead make it a scav tho, i dont understand the physical difference not appearance

[inland marlin]

play the game for a day and youll probably figure it out

[unreal horizon]

real lmao

Chek 15 key or black keycard

Anyone trying to squad up an run some custom’s willing to help also

[flint crypt]

If I want to loot the rouge camp as a scav, will the rouges kill me if I don't shoot them?

[unreal horizon]

yeah

no reason not to kill them to begin with though

[flint crypt]

Well, the reason not to kill them are the turret rouges and the rouge on the gl. So far my scav raids at lighthouse have been really quiet and all the rouges were always alive. I manage to kill two or three of them np, but I never spawn with gear good enough to get rid of the gl and turret gunners.

And trying to get any rouge loot with them alive is suicide.

[molten cape]

Guys I just got killed by someone

who was IN the mountain in lighthouse

[bold kernel]

no accusing!!!

[unreal horizon]

skill issue

[molten cape]

Nono, I don't think you understand
He literally walked THROUGH it

[unreal horizon]

i understand

HOW DO I SHOOT MY GRENADE LAUNCHER ON MY AK

oops caps

[tidal lagoon]

press the same button as ur ak is bound to (2 or 3)

then u just aim and click

[lapis token]

is it any good?

[unreal horizon]

its a grenade launcher :)

[tidal lagoon]

i mean it kills people when it touche them

as long as you meet the fuze requirement

[edgy plover]

what even is the fuze req on the AK gl?

[unreal horizon]

isnt it grenade dependent?

[tidal lagoon]

it says 25-30 meter

ak only has 1 type of grenade

[lapis token]

i can load the m8 and the vogs in it

[tidal lagoon]

m8?

[lapis token]

how do you aim it ?

its like m862 or something like that in a scav rn ill check after

yellow tip

[tidal lagoon]

m386?

[lapis token]

yee probably

[tidal lagoon]

into the gp-25 grenade launcher?

[lapis token]

havent checked had a vog loaded up so ill double check

[tidal lagoon]

the russian gp-25 launcher has a iron sight on it

the m203 dont

[knotty flower]

Is it worth to farm the other faction on lighthouse for there loot

[shrewd fog]

Like their gear and guns?

[unreal horizon]

the other faction

[shrewd fog]

i just assumed rogues lol

[patent bluff]

Does anyone have any good starting load out kits

[wise flax]

has anyone here found forklift key inside of filing cabinets do they actually spawn there ive looted like 250 of them

[unreal horizon]

yeah

[pearl furnace]

Yeah, have seen and sold a couple so far. File cabinets and jackets primarily, but sometimes duffel bags.

[knotty flower]

Yeah there in some compound with snipers try and headshot them at door cutoff

[shrewd fog]

The loot they have is worth getting. Are you talking about getting on a scav or PMC

[knotty flower]

Scav I usually spawn closer

[brazen swift]

where do i find or buy fuel for the hideout

[shrewd fog]

Pretty sure without flea market, you need Jaeger level 1 or Therpist level 2

as for finding them, I would pull up a map of loot locations and it will show you spawn locations

[brazen swift]

thank you

[shrewd fog]

Hit up Oli on Interchange. I normally find a blue one or a metal one there

[fallow sapphire]

Shoreline is good too, go to signal and the new camp north east I usually find one every two raids

[vital oasis]

cant wait to spawn on the beach and get bent over

[shrewd fog]

rest space 3

[fallow sapphire]

I was wondering why I have 110 instead of 100 without playing hahaha

That’s why

I upgraded it from one day to another hahah

[tender prism]

Whats the best sized rig/bp for inventory space?

[undone drum]

don´t

[reef frigate]

ya 100% mira ave bugged

2nd time shooting the flare the sniper scav still shoots me wtf

i shoot straight up doesnt work

i shoot towards the sniper scav doesnt work idk wtf im doing wrong

videos show them shooting flare and sprinting to extract n not even getting shot at wtf

[hushed field]

L

[undone drum]

have a recording?

[bitter granite]

you must be shooting a green flare and you must get the prompt "signal flare area"

[reef frigate]

lemme see if it got clipped

[thorn mason]

This. It’ll appear in the bottom right when in the area.

[reef frigate]

how i check for that

i was infront of the dead scav

just like in the video

[thorn mason]

After you pickup the flare, run like ten feet towards the bus or whatever it is down the road

Just don’t run too far or you’re gonna get scalped. Speaking from experience.

[bitter granite]

https://i.imgur.com/os0EAfi.jpeg

it appears as a notification on the bottom right of the screen

[reef frigate]

thats dumb but prob what happened i guess

thank u

[thorn mason]

Likely so. We all learn. 💯

[reef frigate]

man i was going insane

like is my game cursed or some lol

[thorn mason]

I lost a pretty fat PMC run my first time. Felt

[reef frigate]

istg

[tender prism]

Is it worth keeping 5B43 Zabralo-Sh armor?

[reef frigate]

this the 3rd time i died to that extract with the flare lol

with the wine for the task

[thorn mason]

I always got camped trying to get there before anyone else

Bad spawn luck

[reef frigate]

if yall had to choose helmet or earpiece? cuz most the helmets and earpieces i get rn dont allow me to put both

[thorn mason]

Shii lemme load up Tarkov

[bitter granite]

depends on the helmet and map, but more often than not, ears is better

[thorn mason]

Trying to think of the headphones that have the elastic headstrap that can go under some helmets

I use those with helmets at my current level

[bitter granite]

gssh i think

[thorn mason]

That’s the one.

Bear in mind this is my first wipe with only about 40hrs (and hella YouTube knowledge) but it works for me.

[bitter granite]

they used to be my fav like 3-4 wipes ago but i mainly run m32/tactical sports

[thorn mason]

I find myself using ComTacs when I run no helmet

[snow parcel]

anyone able to help with rusted bloody key task?

[thorn mason]

Anyone able to give me skill with pistols? 😂

[mint light]

always always headset

[thorn mason]

Soundwhore simulator. If you don’t take your headset off and have tinnitus, are you playing? 😂

W advice fr

[mint light]

yeah idk why gunshots deafen u with no headset

actually insanely loud

[mint light]

comtac 2s are arguably the worst headset in the game. get off those as soon as u can

[thorn mason]

Level 9 gang

I’m fighting for flea my boi 🙏🏻

[reef frigate]

real asl

[mint light]

m32s are solid

[reef frigate]

got 2.5m and scav junk box idk what else to do till flea

[thorn mason]

Gahd damn

Fr though I can’t give Tarkov a chance until I get Flea. I know the game’s slow right now and I’m learning but it is a STRUGGLE

This game seems amazing, just a GRIND.

[reef frigate]

ya true flea is pretty helpful especially for hideout

[undone drum]

you play alone?

[thorn mason]

Correct.

[reef frigate]

like i need 1 bolt for water collector n its been like 10 raids i cant find it lol

[undone drum]

mistake no 1

[thorn mason]

Disagree

[undone drum]

interchange

[bitter granite]

tbh flea isnt super impactful anymore, all the good weapons/ammo is trader locked now

[thorn mason]

I come from DayZ where I over-relied on teammates. My only real L is not being able to fraud insurance imo.

[reef frigate]

i only know factory ground zero and customs lol

[bitter granite]

wdym you can still insurance fraud as solo?

[reef frigate]

isnt that where u load up a insured bag and drop it and get it back with all the items?

or does the bag get emptied out

[thorn mason]

Not when I get my brains blown out in a 1v1

I’m not gonna play the “Is that you?” game and get scalped for it.

[bitter granite]

the bag returns empty

[reef frigate]

oh rip

so whats insurance fraud

[thorn mason]

Guns, armor, and whatnot

Dump your homie’s stuff in a bush and dip

[bitter granite]

you insure your armor, rig and gun etc then take the gear off the players u killed

[reef frigate]

oh ya makes sense

[undone drum]

time to learn other maps

[thorn mason]

See, I’m referring to the defensive side of fraud. You’re talking about the offense side of things.

Makes sense now

[undone drum]

what do you mean?

[bitter granite]

you need a good duo with comms and this never happens btw

[thorn mason]

I’m talking about the fact I’m not gonna reliably get my stuff back after dying in a fight as opposed to dumping from a kill.

[bitter granite]

i play mainly solo but my duo is good with comms and the game overall, u should look into one

[undone drum]

played with randoms here, got good teammates all the time.

[thorn mason]

I’m not talking about teammates

And every one I’ve had has had garbage comms and resulted in TKs more often than not.

I have never survived a group raid, and do not plan to revisit.

[undone drum]

i always talk before raid about team recognisition. we speak about armbands, "crouch check" or "wiggle", when asked

[thorn mason]

Exactly.

Those get tossed immediately because everyone I play with has terminal dementia

[bitter granite]

sounds like youre just better off solo then

which is fine, solo is more rewarding

[undone drum]

i come from Dayz RP and developed an ability to judge persons character and reliability from their voice alone

voice and first couple of words

[thorn mason]

It’s not even personality my man

It’s nothing to do with them being toxic.

[undone drum]

if you able to teach, it is

[thorn mason]

It’s like they have absolutely zero idea what a tactical shooter is.

[undone drum]

I bring a lot of newbies into my raids and teach them.

ppl learn

[thorn mason]

I don’t have the patience to teach.

Genuinely feels like such brainrot to effectively babysit and explain every minute detail while I’m also trying to play the game, listen for footsteps, and manage all fifty other aspects of my game at once.

[undone drum]

for beginners its truly hard, i imagine

[thorn mason]

I’m a beginner to Tarkov and have zero issue. Am I just better or what?

[reef frigate]

just did a scav raid and spawned with the tnt brick for security 2 dub

[thorn mason]

Big W

[undone drum]

you are a beginner to tarkov and to play as a beginner and teach simulationsly is truly hard.
After 2000 hours i feel its not a problem for me

[reef frigate]

got 2 nuts no bolts tho L

[thorn mason]

It’s not even Tarkov. Teaching just feels like babysitting in any regard. This game just amps it up with the sheer amount of items and mechanics.

[reef frigate]

i just watched a shit ton of zero to hero vids

learned bit bout the maps

guns tactics etc

[undone drum]

its awesome to see ppl improve

not for everyone tho

[thorn mason]

I can’t improve with other people dragging me down and shooting me in the face when I wiggle at them and scream “IT’S ME”

[undone drum]

I understood that. You are a beginner yourself

[reef frigate]

just get ur teammates here rules say they can get banned so dont think ppl would do that

randoms from ingame lfg ya prob but prob not here

[thorn mason]

They’ve all come from here 💀

[reef frigate]

report em

[thorn mason]

🤷🏼 It’s from like a week ago. Literally day two of playing. Not gonna bother scrolling to look.

Plus I’m not sure if this server’s set up to delete messages when you leave

[undone drum]

you can see messages from people, who left the server

[thorn mason]

👍🏻 Like I said I’m not gonna bother. They’ll either realize what they did or they’ll get banned by doing it to someone else.

[bitter granite]

whats ur in game name? @thorn mason

[unkempt egret]

100% ears, the difference between having some and having none is a very substantial advantage.
Helmets are also good to bring but not as important as ears, often they won't stop the bullet but every time they do you'll be thankful for it, every time you take scav buckshot to the top of the head because you cheaped out on the helmet you'll curse yourself for it.

If on a budget GGSH + Ratnik helmet, dirt dirt dirt cheap and you are almost 100% guaranteed to get both back from insurance time and again. High ricochet chance on a dirt cheap class 3 helmet can be a lifesaver and you can mount NV/flashlights to it for night raids.

[reef frigate]

oh sweet thanks for the tip

its just headphones make everything so loud i can hear ppl across the map but not sprinting behind me

[vital oasis]

what do i do with this

[keen fossil]

only helmet worth ruining that blocks ears is rys-t alytn of welder

[keen fossil]

Used for ledx craft

[vital oasis]

need the blue book :((

[reef frigate]

anyone know why my reloads drop the mags? i press R once and it drops the mag instead of R R for tac reload

[vital oasis]

check keybinds

[reef frigate]

[bitter granite]

if your rig is full, it will drop a mag

[reef frigate]

no

also thought it would just swap the mags

[vital oasis]

naur

just drops if no free slot

[reef frigate]

thats weird

[vital oasis]

kinda hard to reload with a mag in your hand haha

[reef frigate]

i know lol but i swear if u reload in ur inv the mag in ur inv will flash and then it woulda gotten swapped with the mag in ur gun

unless i never noticed it moves to a diff slot

[vital oasis]

100% goes to a diff slot haha

load your rig and try in hideout

[keen fossil]

It goes into a different slot yeah

[unkempt egret]

Best to rebind the tac reload to another keybind, if it's double tap R the game waits a split second (0.3 seconds iirc) to see if you're going for a double press before starting the reload.
If you rebind the keybind to something like crtl + R or something it speeds up your normal reloads by 0.3 seconds which can matter.
Personaly I just unbound it, rarely been in a situation where tac reload would have helped anyway.

[vital oasis]

i did not know this ty

[unkempt egret]

Applies for every keybind with a double press if you have anything else bound to that

[keen fossil]

just unbind tac reload if imma be real

[thorn mason]

Undeadfreak258, was in a Scav run

[vital oasis]

i like tac reload

[keen fossil]

It’s useless

[thorn mason]

Tac-Load’s just screwed me long-term.

Never yet have I RR’d to win a fight, not only that but good luck in the rest of the raid

[bitter granite]

thanks, was curious

[thorn mason]

Saw the request, I’ll hit you up in DMs and we can talk more.

[vital oasis]

bro swung and 1 tapped me on labs

476 hours

[thorn mason]

No gifs 😭

[hazy veldt]

there's a way to use gifs.

[unreal horizon]

problem?

[vital oasis]

sussy boy

[thorn mason]

Then I just lack brains

[unreal horizon]

nothing about that statline is sus imo

[vital oasis]

476 hours lvl 54?

[unreal horizon]

yeah?

he does his tasks

[fossil saddle]

hi, can someone tell me where the lighthouse extract is on shoreline in vc? if someone is willing to help we can hop into a vc

[thorn mason]

Close enough 😂

[hazy veldt]

[thorn mason]

God I hate the fact I can’t add reactions

Now you’re gonna say you can do that too. 💀

[hazy veldt]

sadly no.

[bitter granite]

yeah get in a channel

[fossil saddle]

ok, can u join lfg begginers 15

ok thanks sm

[bitter granite]

np

[tender prism]

Is the propital worth crafting?

[unreal horizon]

Just but it it's cheap enough

[bitter granite]

yes, if you use 1/15 ibuprofen and 1/10 golden star

[tender prism]

allright! thanks

[reef frigate]

for the wine task

is it client based or server based like if one person takes it then noone else can

cuz i searched the whole winery and cant find it

[tender prism]

client

[bitter granite]

all quest items are client side

[reef frigate]

found it

finally got mira ave extract to work

there was a chunky dead pmc there but couldnt escape the extract in time to try and loot it

if u shoot the flare do u have a limited time to extract before the sniper scav starts shooting u again?

[still berry]

aslong as the flare is still burning

[reef frigate]

oh nvm then

dude looked pretty stacked

[still berry]

stacked people on ground zero

defo diserved to die

[reef frigate]

ya fr

found a vector on a static dead body

[spare laurel]

i need someone to help me but i think i only need to say two words: Revision-Lighthouse

[reef frigate]

dog no shot bro took a whole mag lol

[dusty spruce]

do you know anything about ammo

[shrewd fog]

Let the scavs go in and wipe WTC and then go plant

[spare laurel]

🥶

[bitter granite]

why did u take your armor off 😭

[reef frigate]

thought it was a scav lol

[bitter granite]

if youre USEC go nighttime and its free

[reef frigate]

task

but ya the ammo was a bit cheap

[bitter granite]

ohh for the task i gotcha

[reef frigate]

but a whole mag dude ate that lol

https://gyazo.com/f4aba72187153305204da7df58b135a3

[spare laurel]

how they have built in gen 3 thermals in their eye sockets

[bitter granite]

no they dont, trust me they are blind at night

[spare laurel]

we will see

[bitter granite]

im bear this wipe and ive been going to rogue camp at night with little resistance from rogues

[spare laurel]

ok

[shrewd fog]

if youre usec they wont shoot you inside the wtc. only if you go in the warehouses or shoot them

[spare laurel]

so i can just stroll in

[shrewd fog]

have you aggro'd them in the last few raids on PMC?

[spare laurel]

yes

do i do a few

[shrewd fog]

then they will shoot on sight

[spare laurel]

then try

[shrewd fog]

thats what i would do. knock out long road or scavs at chalet for a few

[spare laurel]

i will just do loot runs

[cold flower]

💯

[spare laurel]

on shoreline

or do i have to do lighthouse

[shrewd fog]

Im not 100% on that one. I want to say raids in general or maybe its in game time, like day vs night. not too sure

[reef frigate]

anyone know whats the point of euros if no traders use it

[spare laurel]

some do

[shrewd fog]

items case is like 14K EU

[reef frigate]

damn thats alot

as a lvl 10 only thing is a ms2000 marker

[shrewd fog]

yeah but if youre spamming grenade cases in hideout, they get 1900 ea

yeah early on they arent used a lot

[hazy veldt]

barter is 1 mil

main use for euros are Mentor quest, Solar, stash level 4.

[shrewd fog]

i normally just do the dogtags

[hazy veldt]

If you grind a lot of dogtags or want only a few cases, that works.

[civic meadow]

yo im new to the game can someone help me out and teach me the extraction points of a few maps the only map I know a little bit about extracts is factory please dm me

[shrewd fog]

you get a lot of tags farming tagilla so it works out.

[shrewd fog]

check out #pvp-lfg , you may find someone here but that is primarily where people link up!

[tender prism]

If u buy scav boxes with those tags u can get like 1.4 mil for 80 tags

since the other barter is like 1m

[shrewd fog]

depends on level really

[narrow pike]

why are there so many high level extract campers? 3 minutes left of the raid id been trying to find my way around streets just to do a task, finally manage to find extract and this level 45 duo just sits there, CloudFloyd level 45 killed me at extract on streets of tarkov, cant they put all these pieces of shit in one server

[brazen swift]

got killed twice in a scav raid from a scav player....isnt bad for a scav killing scavs?

[reef frigate]

yes ppl are stupid

i usually stare down scavs and if they shoot me i kill em

[mint light]

people dont care cuz its not a huge mechanic if ur not a scav main

[reef frigate]

u also get bonus rep for killing those scavs

[narrow pike]

if someone camps extract for too long they should get uncurable hemorroids in game, so now for the whole wipe they take damage when sitting still for more than 10 seconds, and they die if they dont move.
They also start making noises, very loud, that you can hear from far away

[stoic girder]

💀

this is why i love camping extracts, i know it makes people like u do thi shit

[narrow pike]

and thats why your parents can never be proud of you

[stoic girder]

🥺

check extract next time and youll be fine

[narrow pike]

what do u mean, a million angles, im new to the map

Level autism with 3k hours just sitting there

[stoic girder]

welcome to tarkov

[narrow pike]

they should add a feature where you pay 10k or so, and no matter where you are, if youre alive when time runs out you auto extract

[reef frigate]

i got 180 hours its rough

you will be a lvl 4 going against a 5 stack with a combined loadout of like 5m

[narrow pike]

almost every time i kill someone, his little squad comes running

[reef frigate]

ya always gotta make sure there aint more

used to be like that kill and instantly lay down and loot

gotta make sure noone rushes u

[narrow pike]

dont understand, ppl with 3k hours extract camping, dont they feel ashamed?

level 60 just sitting in a bush

[reef frigate]

theres alot of extract campers n task campers personally see more task campers

super annoyin

[narrow pike]

they should put all of them in one server so the rest of us can play the game, and they can get a taste of their own shit

same with the cheaters

[vital oasis]

wild streets raid

[inner flume]

we rat for SPORT bb

[narrow pike]

Then it makes perfect sense to put all of you in a separate server, you can all sit in extracts all game

[inner flume]

Nah i'd rather take your stuff thanks

Clear your surroundings ❤️

[narrow pike]

cus youre too bad to actually play the game

[narrow pike]

so you exploit it

[tardy crescent]

💀

[inner flume]

You wish that i actually needed to do it lol, im purely making you mad here LOL

[merry berry]

Should've cleared ur corner better

[broken lagoon]

how do yall not get lost on woods? i get lost even while using a map, trynna get jaeger unlocked and the prapor quest done

[reef frigate]

Best thing for me is locating the middle lake part then lumberjack buildings or whatever is at the tip of the lake and go from there

[bold kernel]

both IFAK and AFAK will stop light and heavy bleeding?

[merry berry]

Compass

[inland marlin]

i cant read the compass, but i can read the trees. i just look at the trees

you can tell which way you gotta go by looking at the trees and seeing how they are

[merry berry]

I say this with no ill intent. How can't u read a compass?

[inland marlin]

theres 2 norths and all the letters are too blurry to read

[merry berry]

Especially at night, woods is cringe

[merry berry]

Huh isn't it that big red line is north and the opposite is south

Or the number works too

[inland marlin]

dunno on my screen theyre both N

like i said, its too blurry

[merry berry]

Uh red is north

[inland marlin]

well its too late now

i know every map with my eyes closed, i could draw you a map of the maps

but that compass sucked

[merry berry]

Still helps navigate imo. It's easy to just keep going a cardinal direction and not have to find landmarks
