[noble kelp]

ESP, rats, stupid AI

[shrewd fog]

the point is, you kit back up, bigger, badder, and meaner, and you go wipe every scav from existence on your next run!

[storm lichen]

how can killa survive so many headshots??? does he have ultra thick bones in his skull???

[noble kelp]

Done that 25x in a row. The people on these vcs are man children; for the most part. They leave the second they die, take 1 million years to ready up and will bush camp

Pretty much most of the player base

All the ‘normal’ dudes have quit at this point of the wipe

[noble kelp]

They can’t make good AI

[storm lichen]

like, i was using 5.45 BP ammo

it should rip straight through his helmet no?

[shrewd fog]

you are the man child here brother. its a tough game and everyone knows that. just keep getting back out there and the raids will go your way

[noble kelp]

Sure they will.

Just quit the game like goat and the rest of us. Admit you’re addicted and can’t

[shrewd fog]

Lmao brother, take a breather and a break. The goats video was a horrible represntation of the games state and it was published for clout and attention. sure there are cheaters, but you just died to and AI scav and now youre blaming people in VC for being man children and leave the second they die, now its cheaters and im addicted. bro get it together or just leave lmao

[noble kelp]

Oh no, I had played with a guy ~5 days ago who tk’d me with the most stupid nade and kept swearing at me

All while he took forever on his scav before that raid, took forever getting ready

I have 2 witnesses

[shrewd fog]

ok Im done, im not gonna do through all of your annecdotal stories about the "bad game" It doesnt seem like you want help but attention and to bitch

[noble kelp]

Who joined in the middle of him swearing at me

Keep at it, son

[shrewd fog]

Ill kindly suggest you return to Fortnite where it is safe

[noble kelp]

You’re winning at life

[shrewd fog]

im helping newbs on a tough game, youre here complaining about god knows what

[noble kelp]

I’m helping people irl

[shrewd fog]

all i hear tho is wah wah wah. make it make sense

[noble kelp]

You can look at my search history. So many times when I quested, I died to random bull

[shrewd fog]

literally the main part of the game......

[noble kelp]

You’re still a newb yourself, only lvl 38

[noble kelp]

Broken AI is an integral part of the game

[shrewd fog]

go off you big baby lmao

[noble kelp]

Go on PMC

[noble kelp]

Putting in that many hours into programming would be a lot more useful xD

You’re only lvl 40 with 3.3k hrs

That is sad

[shrewd fog]

what are you mad at here you fucking loser. i tried to motivate you to get back in raid and now youre just trauma dumping

fucking weirdo, pound sand lmao

[unreal horizon]

yk that counts all wipes

[noble kelp]

Yes

[unreal horizon]

also i think ur a turbo loser <3

[shrewd fog]

dudes embarassing himself for fun at this point and im all for it

[noble kelp]

Okay, my bad for coming out and speaking in a bad light

[unreal horizon]

real

[noble kelp]

Okay

[shrewd fog]

not the place for you silly opinions friend

[noble kelp]

What is silly?

Which of my opinions is

[shrewd fog]

all of them quite frankly

[noble kelp]

Name them

[shrewd fog]

no youre a fucking loser and a discord gremlin. shit in your hands and clap you loser

[noble kelp]

Damn

Not cool bud

Now name some

But you can’t

“All for it”

That hits home

No wonder it stings so bad.

Game isn’t hard? It’s full of crap for the sake of it. Can’t even do Tetris whilst loading after how many years?

From what you know of me?

Bold assumption

[unreal horizon]

loser

[shrewd fog]

I am not going to reply anymore. youre just talking in circles. I am going to find a mod and see if theyll boot ya

[noble kelp]

Are you in HS?

[unreal horizon]

lmao

[noble kelp]

For what?

[river rampart]

Stop or get mutes.,

[unreal horizon]

boring

[hardy rain]

so whats the deal with spawning in the exact same spot every match. is there some kind of hidden stat in your account that determines this?

[unreal horizon]

remind me what the r in rng means

[hardy rain]

random is subjective

like RNG in gen 1 and 2 pokemon games werent random. it was determined by what frame you are on when an action occures

lol spawn killed on my pmc by a scav 5 seconds after loading in, then spawn kiled on my scav by a PMC 5 seconds after spawning in. thats tarkov for you

[outer sky]

need help on customs for pocket watch i have key already im just shit on customs

[hardy rain]

pro tip hide in a bush till 9 min left then run it, super easy never see a player

justs did that and got the pocket watch and extortionist done in 1 run

[livid plaza]

pretty much how ive been getting things done^ got the pocket watch earlier

[hardy rain]

just wait for the chads to clear out after they get their rocks off

[outer sky]

thanks for the tip ill try that

[late fossil]

any clue where im at? 😦

[hushed hornet]

can i play on american servers

with the russian version of game

[storm lichen]

wtf

why does my screen keep freezing when i ADS

i just died because of that, screen froze for a solid half second and i died

i get that my pc isn't great but this shouldnt be an issue

[dark trail]

Kinda late lo

[late fossil]

thanks, but i have already died 😦

[dark trail]

Damn

[ember oak]

can someone give me a gun build for punisher part 1
budget 250k but its just for killing scavs so just make it as cheap as possible

[late fossil]

i was watching map and got ran over by the tank thing ahahahah

[unreal horizon]

akm, magnified scope, suppresssor optional

[ember oak]

which scope?

[unreal horizon]

up to you

[ember oak]

and do i bring my BT or PS

[unreal horizon]

you're killing scavs it doesnt matter

[ember oak]

which dust cover do i use, i have never build an akm

i would use bastion but it conflicts with another thing

[unreal horizon]

i cant begin to express how little it matters

[ember oak]

without it i cant put on a sight

😭

[unreal horizon]

there are like 4 of them its up to you

[ember oak]

magnified as in 2x?

[unreal horizon]

whatever you're comfortable with for killing scavs medium range

[outer sky]

i need help on customs

[late fossil]

any clues where im at? i think i remember it being concordia but what side?

yeah when i get out what side do i end up at

last time i left and stepped on mines..

are u leveling intelligence backwards?

sht, wish me luck im going out

yeah i know when i get out i get to concordia i just dont know which side it is

[inland marlin]

its an underground lot with multiple exits. which exit you take dictates where you end up. your question is unanswerable

[late fossil]

oh i see

[ember oak]

good for punisher part 1?

[inland marlin]

sure

[inland marlin]

what you wear doesnt matter, executed properly you shouldnt run into anybody if your lucky

[ember oak]

its just scavs

[inland marlin]

thats true for most non-pvp oriented quests really

[ember oak]

im not looking for 5 ergo non noticable differences

[late fossil]

sorry i insulted you, thought u were trolling

[lapis token]

this a good idea?

[dark trail]

Nah

[inland marlin]

yes

[dire folio]

put some condors on too

[wintry dove]

Can anyone help me with a quick customs task

[unreal horizon]

you've been asking for like 2 days you coulda just learned it by now

[inland marlin]

lmao

thats the deal with a lot of people

[wintry dove]

It’s a different one

I got 3 other custom tasks done

[dire folio]

goodjob

what task

[dire folio]

even better

[fleet holly]

Any new players want help from someone experienced? Bored and down to be a body guard lmao

[fallow thicket]

Any players trying to run a some raids 18+ willing to help also in task

[rotund glade]

anyone able to help me im very broke and keep dying

[inner sinew]

I can’t help at the moment but find good scav run that works for you to make money, if your struggling with maps use it for that too

[unreal horizon]

do a scav run

[inner sinew]

Best tips I can give rn tbh

[rotund glade]

when I do scavs its either on factory or night reserve

[unreal horizon]

factory is questionable

[pale ridge]

yes please lol

[rotund glade]

when i do it on night reserve I spawn in at 21 min and die to a pmc

[digital sundial]

what’s the best way to understand how to put scopes and attachments on guns? I seem to have a decent understanding but not sure how to confirm if a scope will fit a certain gun

[unreal horizon]

build workbench and use preset menu

[digital sundial]

Like in the hideout?

[unreal horizon]

yes

[digital sundial]

Thank youuuuuuuu🙏

[brazen swift]

is the task "the bunker part 2" bugged? i just did it and didn't count for it

[timber lake]

shouldn't be... just completed that one last night

[timber lake]

you tryna run it?

[brazen swift]

i just did it, maybe i forgot a door?

[timber lake]

must've been. i tend to forget the door under black pawn.

[brazen swift]

can i add you? i might ask for your help tomorrow

[timber lake]

of course!

[brazen swift]

wanna help me run it now? i hate that map, i got killed too many times

[timber lake]

lol id be downb bro

ill shoot ya a call 🙂

[unreal horizon]

its buggy

[timber lake]

danke schoen ^

[unreal horizon]

sometimes 1 door wont work but the other one for that building will

[limber gyro]

when is the next wipe?

[unreal horizon]

thursday

[timber lake]

WE COULD HEAD TO BEGINNERS #9

[limber gyro]

havnt played since 2 wipes ago

[brazen swift]

ok

[timber lake]

wiping next week?

[unreal horizon]

it might

[cunning aspen]

you naughty

[soft timber]

is there a way to check pmc killstreak without including scav kills

[inland marlin]

not without manually tracking it beforehand

[soft timber]

lame ive been using the same kit for like 9 raids in a row and averaged like 2-3 kills on shoreline everytime i was just curious

[shrewd spade]

anyone wanna wanna help a nub quest

[charred bronze]

what's the keybind for the compass

[unreal horizon]

used to be u but i think you need to hotkey it now

[wheat flint]

would someone be willing to help me with signal part 1?

please and thank you!

[soft timber]

just got off but ill be on later tonight if you're around and haven't gotten to it

[wheat flint]

how much later?

[soft timber]

at least a few hours, going out with some friends

[wheat flint]

ah, ill be in bed by then, thank you though!

[soft timber]

sry best of luck!

[unreal horizon]

point your mouse towards these places then press w to move towards them

[full rock]

signal part 1 is easy when you dont run into goons twice in a row like i did

[ember mango]

no IGN you have to unlock modding first than you will see modding preset under the modding icon. Attach whatever attachments you want on the weapon and look at the assemble icon on the right side of the screen. If items are in stock you can purchase and go into modding to attach.

sorry assemble icon is on the left

[unreal horizon]

noted

[mint light]

noted

[full rock]

noted

[inland marlin]

ill jot that one down

[obtuse light]

what is even point of labs? IN 5 games i played there in 4 o got hunted down by same cheater... guy spray though walls with 100 mag for m4 and there is nothing i could do..

[sacred bay]

do goons have new spawns on customs?

[unreal horizon]

Sounds like a skill issue, I've been on labs all afternoon and no cheaters

[sacred bay]

i scaved fortress customs and there was a dead pmc with knights tac rig still found in raid and his mk17. thing is the fortress was full of reshalas guards and no sign of goons anywhere

[edgy plover]

been playing only labs the past couple days

shockingly few cheaters

[unreal horizon]

Yeah I've actually been having fun

[edgy plover]

the crabs are annoying but they've always been there

[heady sable]

can anyone teach me reserve extracts for a pmc?

[flat dune]

whats the best map for testdrive part 1

[torn rapids]

honestly ive only seen 1 obvious cheater

everyone else was 2k+ hours

[hoary falcon]

woods, LH, shoreline

[hoary falcon]

I saw several in a row early on and got kinda sad but then I've gone back and haven't seen hardly any

[digital sundial]

Yeah I’m super new and shoreline seems to be the easiest to find the exits and a consistent bases lol

[flat dune]

wheres the best place on lighthouse to anchor down with a sniper? gotta do testdrive and want a consistent area i can get some kills

[quiet geyser]

hey this is my very first EFT wipe i was just wonder where i can get some help i am very new to the game

[grand plinth]

shoreline is consistently one of the best maps to safely loot and scoot

its how i got majority of my wealth

[hoary falcon]

snoreline

but it is good for new players

[grand plinth]

snoreline is why its good for looting

its easily 2m / raid

[upbeat elk]

what servers? i usually run into like 4 cheaters in 10 raids MINIMUM

[grand plinth]

AMEN 🙏 get them out of my raids

[unreal horizon]

nae has been chill today

no cheatos

[hoary falcon]

why not say 2/5 lol

REDUCE

[unreal horizon]

🤓

[grand plinth]

math man

[upbeat elk]

cuz 10 raids is a bigger sample size

[hoary falcon]

doesn't matter if you're averaging

[upbeat elk]

I usually switch between NAE and NAC whenever my servers get too hectic. But i do find a decent amount of cheetos there aswell

[unreal horizon]

I could def just be lucky too

[upbeat elk]

1/1 and 100/100 is a big difference, isnt it

[unreal horizon]

But I've done 7-8 labs today with no cheaters

[hoary falcon]

Of course, but if you're just stating the results of your entire sample as reduced as possible, then you reduce maximally.
I assume you haven't only played 10 raids.

[upbeat elk]

Ive stopped playing Tarkov on weekends lol

[tired nest]

im having troubles with gunsmith 4, i followed the wiki but mechanic wont take the gun

[unreal horizon]

Prob wise

[upbeat elk]

If i wanted to reduce, id just say 40%. Its a big difference if i only played 5 raids and had a cheeto 2 times, mightve been unlucky. The bigger sample size = the more accurate the results.

[hoary falcon]

So you are just saying you played 10 raids and found 4 cheaters?
Like why not say you usually have a 40% cheater rate?

[upbeat elk]

Because thats what i wanted to say.

[hoary falcon]

I assume your 40% is from a lot more than just 10 raids

[upbeat elk]

If you cant understand that 4/10 is 40% then thats your problem

[hoary falcon]

would just be a stronger statement if you didn't limit it

[upbeat elk]

Why am i even speaking to this troll

[hoary falcon]

I'm a nerd dammit

[hoary falcon]

post ss

[merry berry]

whats the best budget ak handguard

[merry berry]

is it an opsks, is it durablity higher than 60

[tired nest]

@merry berry had bullets in the mag. thanks for the help tho homie

[cinder blade]

I just bought the game will anyone play with me

[narrow pike]

are you really silent when crouch walking? I just crouch walked through the basement in resort and sat in a room waiting for a group to leave, and one of them just ran don and naded me, right in that room.

[unreal horizon]

If you're overweight they can hear you, otherwise no

[austere hound]

Gotta be the slowest move speed too

[narrow pike]

it was, i was creeping as slow as possible

5 scavs in a row i get killed by other scavs because i have loot, they really need to ban these people from playing scav

[austere hound]

Spam F1 so it doesn't happen on accident, and try to anticipate the people acting sus. It becomes really easy to spot betrayers with time. They aren't subtle about it both with how they talk, don't talk, or follow you. Very few pscav betrayers do it with tact

[inner flume]

If they talk just answer like boring stuff and never ever say you found anything good or a refer that you have a full bag, always say stuff like "yeah just found random stuff really, dunno whats up with this raid" or etc

[narrow pike]

its not on accident, we look at eachother, i walk away, and they shoot me in theback of the head

[narrow pike]

but they can see me holding an aug or m4 or whatever, never told anyone i found anything, as a scav

[wintry dove]

Can anyone guide me through the bunker part 1

[austere hound]

Go to an offline and test it. It's not that bad of a task. My advice is do it faster rather than slower because pscavs are everywhere on Reserve if you wait too long

The bunker isn't that complicated. It's basically a rectangle in the middle with a perimeter rectangle around the outside of that

[merry berry]

What's y'all go to money run gun

[undone drum]

what?

[merry berry]

Not sure what I meant either tbh

Budget

[undone drum]

what a good budget gun?

[orchid isle]

mosin

svt

sks

shotgun

[winter aspen]

any noobs want to party up and hit GZ?

im lvl 1 and looking for other low lvl

[rich flower]

Is there anything you can do about extract campers or do you just have to accept that you wasted 30 minutes for a raid that was impossible to win

[unreal hound]

How do i put stuf on here?

[austere hound]

Restart game. Same screen will have a "transfer items" button

[unreal hound]

Ok

[split basin]

Bro, yes!

[unreal hound]

Yea that worked. Thanks G

[split basin]

Looking to squad up with anyone interested.
Just bought the game an am completely lost.

[winter aspen]

sounds good - you on now?

[split basin]

Give me 5

[kindred isle]

anyone wanna run some games? Im lvl 6 and learning the game

[reef frigate]

y is red rebel so hyped? i get that its rare but chop 29 stab 35 the antique axe does chop 28 and stab 49?

[unreal horizon]

its not about the stats

its that it gives you 3 exits

[reef frigate]

wym?

it gives you a extract?

[unreal horizon]

yeah on reserve, sl, and lh

[reef frigate]

thats crazy i didnt know that

thats cool ngl

[split basin]

@winter aspen
Yo, I'm on

[winter aspen]

go LFG GZ 3 for comms

[split basin]

@winter aspen
Alright, give me a sec to figure it out.

[wispy thicket]

@kindred isle

you unlocked jaeger yet?

[kindred isle]

yeah i think so

[wispy thicket]

oh word

[kindred isle]

yeah i do for sure have jaeger

[paper blaze]

i have a bunch of light house shore line and reserve tasks and dont know any of the maps anyone wanna help me out

[weary quartz]

How hard is woods, I just finished the ground zero quest and that map was a hellhole

[paper blaze]

ground zero is the worst map imo

[coarse moon]

Woods is hard only because you never know where you’re dying from (if you’re newer)

[paper blaze]

woods is a great map when u learn it

[coarse moon]

Agreed

[wispy thicket]

its a decent map with decent loot

[paper blaze]

i found a led x and usec camp

at

[weary quartz]

Okay will or be as bad as ground zero cuz that map wanted me to rage quit

[paper blaze]

will be better but its hard to tell where ur getting shot from

[wispy thicket]

ground zero seemed easy for me

i keep dying on woods

[coarse moon]

It’s a different vibe. You’re in the forest and I personally find foliage combat to be terrible

[weary quartz]

How often would I go back, besides for Yeager

[paper blaze]

there a decent amount of early woods quests

[coarse moon]

It's worth learning outside of quests though

[snow flame]

whats the earliest class 5 plates/armor I can get? I have Prapor 3 but he only has a Korund back plate for sale.

[tough widget]

best magnified scope for streets? I usually use the HHS tango sight because my fps doesn't drop when im using the 1x mode. are there any other sights like this that dont drop your fps when at a lower magnification?

[austere hound]

All scopes use PIP and will lower your fps when using them. The HHS doesn't because it's just a magnifier in front of a holo sight, so when you move the magnifier out of the way you're just using a normal holo.

Idk of any other optics that use magnifiers in this game

[tough widget]

I tried the HAMR thinking that switching to the top sight would stop rendering the magnified scope, but I was wrong

[reef frigate]

woods u either spawn infront of a scope or u spawn across the map do a task then run into a camping pmc

never seen a scav spam a sniper before

[reef frigate]

bro i killed a boss? on woods

istg i was getting sniped i run around a corner then hear someone say "come here real quick" n i lit bro up he had a skull mask and dreads or some

[inland marlin]

this guy

5k xp tho sheesh

[reef frigate]

found a dorm marked room on a scav

[peak flicker]

what do i gotta do for light keeper quest

[vital hawk]

when you extract with scav the stuff you dont want do you just sell it to each vendor indviualy or click sell all

[austere hound]

Depends on how badly you want the extra 30% you could get. If you already have decent money, just sell all cause it saves you time. Personally, I take the loot I want and sell all every time. I'd rather be back in raid sooner

[vital hawk]

thanks for info

[velvet egret]

Once I crossed around 5m rubles I just sell all unless I have something worth hundreds of thousands like moonshine or Intel folder

[vital hawk]

is labs worth doing for low if low level

[distant river]

ive had this game for like a year just havent got into it not knowing the maps anyone know how i should start?

[violet void]

no

you will get domed by either a chad or a cheater

[alpine forge]

first wipe where it feels like im not scraping by... not sure what i can safely get rid of

[dire folio]

@vagrant cargo

[edgy plover]

Check everything using https://tarkov-market.com/ and the info it provides for quest/hideout/barter/crafting requirements and for flea prices. Then you can decide what things you'll need soon enough to hold onto.

For example, if you were checking 'Bolts' you would type it in and see this screen. You could then decide if any of those quests or hideout upgrades are close enough to save for. If you want to sell, whether the traders or flea are better

[vital hawk]

when being a scav what maps do you want to spawn on

[soft tapir]

what do i do with used fuel

[gloomy sparrow]

@soft tapir mainly sell it or turn it into cases

[soft tapir]

how much do i sell it for

[gloomy sparrow]

normally just to therapist if you want my honest opinion, as no one on the flee will want empty fuel

[soft tapir]

alr

[gloomy sparrow]

@soft tapir

yeee

[soft tapir]

damn its only 3k at therpaist

ig ill keep for the craft

[gloomy sparrow]

yeah, it doesnt really good for much

[edgy plover]

delete the metal fuel tanks, turn the blue ones into weapon cases

Cheapest way to get weapon cases

[soft tapir]

weapon case or mag case?

[edgy plover]

considering you can write off the cost of the fuel

Weapon case

[soft tapir]

what

[soft tapir]

OH

good god the pistol cases cost a fortune

[edgy plover]

Yea, try to get them for 250 or below

they drop down to that pretty regularly

[soft tapir]

its reaching 340k rn

[edgy plover]

oif

[soft tapir]

but ill keep it in mind and check it now and then

[edgy plover]

yea at that point the mechanic motor barter is cheaper

[proud panther]

can somebody help me figure out why I cannot mantle??? It is absolutely driving me insane.. I mantle when I dont want to, but when I want to mantle I can't, I always jump. ALWAYS...

I am pretty sure my keybinds are correct.

[ember oak]

hold jump, dont release it before you vault

you jump when you release spacebar

so dont release it

wont work if you messed with your keybinds

[proud panther]

My jump is currently bound to press so thats probs why it got worse but it still will auto mantle on fucking everything randomly

[ember oak]

consider reverting your settings or figuring out which mode to put it on

[proud panther]

that did fix me not being able to mantle but yeah even with default binds I always would auto mantle on shit randomly

[ember oak]

wdym by randomly?

it cant vault without something to vault on

[proud panther]

Like every once in awhile during a match I will just automatically mantle on everything possible, without pressing space at all.

Like I could be just looting a table and get too close and would climb on top of it

or be running from somebody, bump into a table and just climb ontop of it. Its extremely annoying

[ember oak]

you can try setting vault to something like "5" and set it to press

[safe dew]

If it is not for quests then just sell whatever you can. it is always better to sell (on flea) and buy than just use because you are gaining flea market rep (after 7 rep it doesn't matter that much though)

[merry berry]

whats good in the 2nd floor interchange?

[mighty ledge]

is there a armor plate tier list? I know theres a destructability chart but ceramic is regarded highly so idk what's the bis and stuff

[crude anvil]

same shit its just the plate

[mighty ledge]

wym

[crude anvil]

that destructability chart applies to the plates

they behave the same as the old system but only for the plates

[mighty ledge]

idk how the old sys work so im asking if theres a tier list

[crude anvil]

minimal difference

usually it was for durability/price for repair on old system

[mighty ledge]

minimal diff in the materials? oo

[crude anvil]

but this system is way cheaper

so theres no real difference to different materials

what matters is tier

[crude anvil]

weight ig

[mighty ledge]

ahh understood

[crude anvil]

the system still sucks ass

[mighty ledge]

if my understanding of how the destructability works is correct, why do people still use gzhel ?

[crude anvil]

tier 3 soft armor that covers everything except armpits,and tier 5 plates

[mighty ledge]

ah so the material is irrelevant

[devout wind]

i left q in matching and quit game and relaunched now im stuck on this screen

wtf

[crude anvil]

when u start repairing for the 2nd time the tier 5 plate goes to basically lvl 3-4 effectiveness

doubt it will ever matter

cuz when u get shot ur basically fucked anyway unless they are still using doo doo ammo close to 3 months into wipe

[mighty ledge]

hmm yea ceramics do repair poorly

[raven sable]

where do we go to report people for team killing?

[undone drum]

#discord-mod-mail

[raven sable]

@undone drum ty

[ember oak]

trying to do punisher part 1, ended up extracting without killing or seeing any scavs

free 600 xp 🤷

[mighty ledge]

When str training does being overly overweight help or do I just need the yellow icon

[unreal horizon]

Just yellow

[olive cape]

question: when will they ever fix the shoulder leaning? anytime i slightly bump into a wall it forever bugs it and it never works again until the end of the raid

[unreal horizon]

You're the only person I know that's had that happen lol

[somber forum]

question whats a better mag for 60 round 5.45 pmag or stanag mags?

[tidal lagoon]

stanag

inspect them and compare the stats

[unreal horizon]

Use what looks best with your build

[tidal lagoon]

pmag lowkey always gonna look best

[somber forum]

true pmag looks good for like labs runs and stanag for other maps

thank you for the info will be shoving m995 on stanags hehe

[tidal lagoon]

only good thing about pmag is 2+ ergo really

[unreal knot]

i am new looking for someone to teach me the ropes

[somber forum]

go to sherpa server people there will help you in game and in raids

[unreal horizon]

just go solo with the wiki and a map you'll be fine

[unreal knot]

u have the link for that///

[wise thistle]

can anyone give me a hand ? quite new to the game

[ember oak]

if i camp in one of these houses will scavs spawn near me

[unreal horizon]

that sounds boring af but yeah

[ember oak]

in the past 20 minutes i have found 1 scav, i travelled through half of the map

i dont think i like shoreline anymore

[brittle wren]

12/70mm:
6.5mm Exrpess or 7mm Buckshot?

[unreal horizon]

neither are particularly good its up to you

[brittle wren]

alright, ik they are not the best but im still lvl 11 only

[brazen swift]

when will the next wipe happen?

[mighty ledge]

??wipe

[carmine lantern]

The last wipe was on <t:1703660400:F> (<t:1703690760:R>). The Patchnotes can be found here #eft-announcements message

[mighty ledge]

#beginners-assistance message

this shd be able to help you determine when's next wipe sorta

[brazen swift]

was just curious, not important at all...just wondering if i will loose every progress including the hideout

[tidal lagoon]

yes everything is lost at wipe

only thing kept is your achievements

[brazen swift]

i purchased extra stash space, i assume that'll stay?

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[lone basin]

How do i choose default?

[tidal lagoon]

no

it goes over after 24hrs

it causes you no problems in raid

[warped tide]

hey does the mosin use RG-5 grenades or f-1 grenades???

also how do i load my mosin mags

[unreal horizon]

bait used to be funny

[tiny plume]

whats a good route to take on woods

[undone drum]

use tagged and cursed mechanic

[bold kernel]

i just reached 1.0 on fence, so now im gonna start getting better gear on scavs?

[unreal horizon]

lol not really

[soft tapir]

what map for eagle owl

[brazen swift]

can i barter on the flea market or just buy and sell?

[astral glen]

You can barter with traders, but not players.

[brazen swift]

ok thank you

[unreal horizon]

they removed it?

[astral glen]

They removed it over a year ago

[unreal horizon]

good tbh

[craggy tinsel]

barter trades on the flee were awesome

[astral glen]

I disagree, it allowed for people to RMT and also made it so that really valuable items weren't even purchasable for roubles, you had to have other in-demand items just to barter for what you wanted.

[craggy tinsel]

yeah but it also killed the value of half the rare items in this game

[astral glen]

Go and look at the price of items, that is just not true

[woeful spruce]

Never once used it, and dont know anyone who used them. It was only done to circumvent high fees on rare items which was wack

[craggy tinsel]

look at what they did to my twitch armband

60k😭

[astral glen]

Only reason it was valuable at the time was because it was new and rarer

And the price of keycards has almost tripled across the board besides Black and Violet

So...

[craggy tinsel]

all those cards used to be expesive. Price of green, blue and red didnt change. and black is worth barely anything because of colleagues

[tidal lagoon]

barter traders were awesome, i love finding a ledx to get a cottage key to complete 1 task

[digital sundial]

When you find random keys are they worth trying to find the location or is it mostly quest stuff?

[unreal horizon]

use dis to find out

[inland marlin]

you need to wiki and flea the key

[digital sundial]

When I look online everyone seems to be torn between selling and keeping, so it just depends on the key?

[astral glen]

Look at the wiki

See what the key unlocks

And then decide if you would like to keep it or sell it yourself

[digital sundial]

Ahhhhh okay makes sense

Thank you

[inland marlin]

yeah i dont go on reddit

[digital sundial]

Yeah not gunna lie ive learned WAYYY more from being on this discord channel then i have any videos or reddit

[inland marlin]

yeah theyre all pretty dumb over there

[noble lance]

quick question if i lower my resoliuton will it boost my fps or no? because streets are kinda laggy so idk if games more cpu or gpu used

[inland marlin]

cpu, yes it would likely

[noble lance]

so do i lower my resolution or keep it 1080P?

im running 1660super and

i5-9400f

[inland marlin]

idc try different stuff

theres no guaranteed way to get more fps in this game

[astral glen]

How much memory do you have? Do you have a page file managed in Windows?

[noble lance]

like ram? or vram

if ram its 16gb and vram 8gb

[astral glen]

Try adding 16000MB minimum and 25000MB maximum page file to an SSD as shown here and reboot:
https://mcci.com/support/guides/how-to-change-the-windows-pagefile-size/

[inland marlin]

you need 32gb to play modern games

[fervent thistle]

where was the last guy?

im so blind

[astral glen]

And do not use High textures with 8GB of VRAM, I would recommend Medium texture quality with the Streets lower texture resolution mode enabled in your graphics settings.

[inland marlin]

he couldve been anywhere. that was a horrible spot

atleast 6 angles

[fervent thistle]

yeah im new to the game

i hate the audio

[inland marlin]

well just remember dying in places like that and dont use it again

that wasnt the audios fault. it was your positioning

its likely he wasnt even in hearing range

[fervent thistle]

yeah i got caught on there i was tryna run to stronghold

[astral glen]

You also hear him aim in before you come around the side of the container too.

[fervent thistle]

shit yeah

[fervent thistle]

nah i cld hear him just i couldnt tell where

i thought he was more to the left thats why i swung wide

[inland marlin]

you cant fight in positions like that where you have so many angles at your back

[whole viper]

how should i go about completing the punisher part 4?
do i run a gun i like + a shotgun if i run into a scav or do i pimp out a shotgun with slugs and run only that
what's more viable?

[inland marlin]

a better plan wouldve been to double back and flank

[fervent thistle]

yeah i know

[noble lance]

like this?

[inland marlin]

most enemies will just sit and wait, and you flank them and theyre still there

[astral glen]

I paired it with Tarkov shooter and took both a DVL-50 and an MP-133 with .50 BMG slugs

[fervent thistle]

i got greedy i thought they were bad after i killed the 1st 2

[whole viper]

fair enough, yeah

[astral glen]

Yes, and then reboot your system

[fervent thistle]

okay thanks for the help

[inland marlin]

no problem. and one last tip if you actually plan on trying that

instead of using grenades for just audio like you did, use it to cover your rotations. so throw it and then flank on blast

with an svd like that you couldve also gone up on skeleton

[fervent thistle]

okay thanks for the help bro, appreciate it

[inland marlin]

and jiggle peeked to find him or bait shots

np you got this

[kindred isle]

anyone wanna play? I am lvl 6 just trying to learn and loot shit

[fervent thistle]

yeah ill definitly try play smarter next time

[inland marlin]

always try to play smarter but its expected youll make some mistakes, a lot of high skill comes from map knowledge

[noble lance]

alr just did it

[inland marlin]

i see that spot you were in and i get anxiety, eventually youll get that sense too of what you wanna do and where you wanna be

i try to never expose myself to more than 1 angle, 2 at most at all times because theres always a third party

[fervent thistle]

yeah tbf i usually fight more smart, but for some reason on customs i always find myself doing stupid shit like that

[noble lance]

but do i keep resoliuton high or low? like 1920x1080 or lower it to like 1440x1080?

[inland marlin]

its easy to wrapped up in the battle lust

i make mistakes too, even after thousands of hours, it happens

[astral glen]

I would recommend staying at your native resolution and doing as I have said

[fervent thistle]

yeah id just finished setup and i wanted the pvp and kits lol

[noble lance]

alright

[fervent thistle]

i have a bad habbit of wanting to loot ppl ive killed too quick before checking for teammates

[noble lance]

omg ir feels so weird to have stretch off

[astral glen]

Make sure your aspect ratio is at 16:9

[inland marlin]

yeah one way i avoid that is by leaving the kill site, and then doing a long range flank overwatching the bodies. then i pack mags, heal up ect and go back in like 5-10 minutes. then i pop back up and scope the bodies

youll catch a lot of rats that way

[noble lance]

ew i prefer 5:3 cuz its streched a bit

[fervent thistle]

yeah im always scared someome will loot my kill and dip haha

[noble lance]

easier to spot people

[inland marlin]

to be honest, even if you killed that guy its a 50/50 how the rest wouldve went - its a horrible spot for bodies, high traffic area - especially that last guy in the open

[fervent thistle]

yeah true

[inland marlin]

mightve died looting - maybe not though depending on raid timing

if it was late youd likely be ok

[fervent thistle]

there was ppl aat old gas and ppl going skeleton i think aswell

and i got caught in the middle

[inland marlin]

dang thats a heavy situation haha

customs be like that

[jaunty mantle]

What’s the best 762x51 gun right now? Just unlocked m80 and trying to run some reserve. (Don’t have black MdR unlocked)

[inland marlin]

m1a

[astral glen]

SA-58, SR-25, RSASS, MDR, DVL-50

[noble lance]

buy black mdr off flea but its gon be expnsive

[astral glen]

Can't buy it on the flea anymore

Wet Job 4 is when you get it pre sure now

[noble lance]

nvm i thought you could

alright going to streets gonna tell you if performance increased

@astral glen

[astral glen]

[noble lance]

🙂

😗

[noble lance]

top right

and i died 😦

[flat dune]

can anyone help me find a vpx

[woeful prawn]

should i just sell all the foods and drinks i find?

[woeful prawn]

apart from when i need to eat/drink them

[pallid cradle]

i just got the game what should i try and do first?

[inland marlin]

do your tasks on ground zero

[pallid cradle]

how do i do those

[inland marlin]

look up a youtube video about new player info

[inner flume]

do: be okay with dying a bunch at the start, watch a video for beginners. Donts: rush factory thinking it will make you much better at pvp you'll just get stomped, and dont feel any bad for using your scav as much as you can

[feral temple]

personally im running only ground zero until i hit lvl 20

first wipe for me so im getting used to the game

[inland marlin]

thats a bad idea

[feral temple]

😦

[inland marlin]

thats like training for the olympics at a high school

[feral temple]

makes sense

[inland marlin]

and your progression will be slowed by idk, 2 weeks probably

[feral temple]

i should learn new map i know

[inland marlin]

if you do quests and play normally youll be level 30 by the time you get to 20

gz has no loot, no guns, no gear, no progression past the quests

if you play any other map you might find a dead kitted dude and get set up, or a valuable loot item and build faster

[feral temple]

at least im getting "same" level pvp in that map u know

[inland marlin]

yeah

its up to you really

[unreal horizon]

you dont improve playing against low lvls on gz

[inland marlin]

if its your first wipe maybe its alright but idk, youd learn more practical skill playing the game normally

your gonna be fighting bad people, learning bad habits. it might hurt more than help

[feral temple]

i mean, u're right 100% i could level up faster doing quests exc but at the moment i'm having fun

[inland marlin]

well fun is whats important so have at it

[feral temple]

mostly in 14 levels I only get cheated once :/

[inland marlin]

in 20,000+ raids ive only been cheated on probably 20ish times

[feral temple]

watching videos and live that's rare lul

[inland marlin]

but youre EU lol i hear its diff

[unreal horizon]

yeah its really not as bad as ppl make it out to be

[feral temple]

good to know ahaha

[hazy veldt]

[hazy veldt]

rage cheaters are rare, it's mostly the "was he esp'ing or not", when you get naded in a room after sitting there for 15 minutes in crouched silent mode.

[pallid cradle]

could someone help me?

why wont it let me leave as a scav

[unreal horizon]

double tap o to check your exits

[pallid cradle]

oh

that makes sense

thanks

[blissful escarp]

how does this server work, is it okay to join any LFG chat and ask to play or is there a system in place

[bold kernel]

you can just join and ask to play\

Can someone explain how he isn't dying

I'm pretty sure jaws don't have a ricohette chance

[hazy veldt]

desync

[hazy veldt]

actually it's probably height over bore:

[unreal horizon]

agree

1st shot high chest, 2nd over head

[hazy veldt]

one of the reasons aug is great, almost no height over bore

[solemn skiff]

How does the hermetic bunker door extract on reserve work? Someone turned on the power earlier in the raid but when I went to extract I had to turn it on again 🤔

[unreal horizon]

the buzzer has to be going for you to use it

[solemn skiff]

Ah

[grand plinth]

its a timed extract, you hit button and run

[solemn skiff]

Thats gay asf

Does that also mean the raiders can spawn multiple times in a single raid?

[grand plinth]

they only have a chance to spawn once per raid im pretty sure from each button

[unreal horizon]

im 90% sure you're correct but whenever i say that ppl say otherwise so idk

[solemn skiff]

What is the other button for?

[iron robin]

As per the Wiki, raiders on Reserve have four chances to spawn: Once at the begining of the raid, in the bunker, once when you pull D2 power lever, once when the train arrives at hermetics, and once when you pull on the weewoo alarm for Hermetic Bunkers extract, at hermetics.

[merry berry]

Is there a % spawn rate for each spawn area

[inland marlin]

whats it matter

it either happens or it dont

only way you get details like that is via datamining

all the % on the wiki are bs anyways

[merry berry]

R they?

[inland marlin]

it either happens or it doesnt

a % is useless in this game because its raid by raid

so really only percent that matters is 50/50

[solemn skiff]

What the fuck is this shit supposed to mean

[unreal horizon]

thats where they shot you?

[inland marlin]

what.

[merry berry]

It'd be nice knowing how much caution to give a certain area and not running through

[solemn skiff]

shit mb I thought it said neck

throat*

[inland marlin]

you should give every area the same amount of caution all the time and only run through places if youre ready to die, all the time

[solemn skiff]

I got one tapped by a scav in the armpit, I thought they fixed armpit meta

[inland marlin]

they did fix it. the hitbox is smaller. not gone.

[merry berry]

I been doing prob 20+ shoreline runs to resort and yest was the first I saw/died to sanitar

[inland marlin]

yeah

30%

its all useless

he was probably at cottage another 3 times

[merry berry]

How often do goons spawn on customs then

[inland marlin]

they switch maps. so 50/50 whenever theyre on customs

[solemn skiff]

Switch maps every raid or do they have a set rotation

[inland marlin]

they have a rotation over a period of several hours

[solemn skiff]

What percentage do they have of spawning at all?

[inland marlin]

i already explained my opinion to buddy, read above

[bold kernel]

30%

[solemn skiff]

Ok buddy

Thanks snow wife

[bold kernel]

uhh

i didn't say it first lol

but they spawn frequently yes

[solemn skiff]

No one else has said it recently in this chat

Mr.GrimdarkBadGuy only said that he thinks a percentage chance is useless

[inland marlin]

you should try scrolling up more

[solemn skiff]

You should try going outside and dropping that bitchy fucking mood of yours

[inland marlin]

calm down bud you seem to be having a negative reaction from the tren

[solemn skiff]

it either happens or it doesnt
a % is useless in this game because its raid by raid
so really only percent that matters is 50/50

[inland marlin]

ok now scroll up more

[solemn skiff]

What are you even yapping about

[inland marlin]

with your mouse wheel

up up up

[solemn skiff]

You want me to scroll to narnia?

I am not going to scroll and read for 10 minutes to see if maybe you have mentioned it earlier

[inland marlin]

damn it takes you 10 minutes to read lol

its like 30 seconds for me

[solemn skiff]

Reply to your msg where you mentioned a spawn percentage of the goons

Because I do not find one

[inland marlin]

im sure you could find it on the wiki, like the rest of us

[solemn skiff]

Sure, you can find everything in this channel on the wiki but this chat is for noobs to ask questions, responding with ''just read the wiki'' is just dumb

They asked a question so take 15 seconds to answer it instead of saying ''go to the wiki''

[inland marlin]

question already answered

scroll up

[solemn skiff]

Like I said, I wont be scrolling up untill I find something you have said two hours ago

[inland marlin]

well it was actually right above what you quoted, you just gave up too easily

[unreal horizon]

bro is cooked

[solemn skiff]

I started reading where the dude got tarkoved and a jaw shot ricocheted and then I got curious what the goons spawn percentage were because you were talking about the goons so I naturally asked

[unreal horizon]

k

[solemn skiff]

It indeed was

[inland marlin]

well, now we've come full circle.

[solemn skiff]

Yes we have

[inland marlin]

good talk

[trail wave]

I found the AS VAL and I see its about 130k on the flee is it worth using or should I just sell or should I keep it for a quest that may require it?

[inland marlin]

as val is pretty good but ammo is hard to get

its better to sell it and get a more accessible gun

[trail wave]

great thanks

[inland marlin]

a bit overpriced for the trouble. np

[carmine orchid]

yo can anyone help me learn the game im level 4 in NA

[bitter granite]

There’s a gunsmith quest that needs it, that’s about it

[weary quartz]

Should I use the mp 133 to complete prapor’s quest first or gunsmith part 1

[brisk wharf]

do the prapor it leads to 2 quests, you can do gunsmith by purchasing the gun from jaeger

[ashen birch]

I personally leave gunsmith until after level 15. That way you can buy most if not everything from the flea

[tulip kettle]

im level 43 and stil havent done setup lol

im going to attempt it finally

since some tasks behind it i need for lightkeeper

[brisk wharf]

would you do it at the start of the wipe if it was lower kills like 7 or you ignored it for some other reason? 🤔

[tulip kettle]

i maybe would have done it earlier

idk its so late now

but luckily half the players on customs are timmys so it shouldnt take me more than a day

[brisk wharf]

I did it late wipe too, while searching for reshela, I stacked like dorm kills + reshela + setup so had a reason to do it 😄

piranha still works well 👌

[flint crypt]

Is ther4e a fucking invisible dial that Nikita plays around with in regards to scavs? I don't fucking understand how there are sometimes five or six scavs on the entire map, and then suddenly as if by the hand of god itself there is a horde that's literally there to run you down. Last game I killed fifteen scavs after killing a player, and everytime I went to loot the pmc, another three came running around from nowhere, that game repeated itself until I ran out of ammo and had to bold. But not before getting shot in the fucking head first, whcih I luckily survived, but I couldn't loot the player.

Its stupid.

So much for realism. Any real scavanger would probabyl try to stay away from the guy commiting genocide on their people.

[merry hollow]

can someone help me in a few raids i need two levels till lvl 15

[storm lichen]

Is my game bugged or something?? I did like 950 damage to tagilla but he kept on trucking

Arent people supposed to have like 450 health or something

[brisk wharf]

he has 1220

[storm lichen]

What?

How is it possible and how does that make sense

[storm lichen]

Wtffff, are his bones made of stalinium or something

[brisk wharf]

go for the head 😄

[storm lichen]

I'm running BP 5.45 ammo, can that pen his helmet?

[brisk wharf]

should be enough

[rapid lotus]

Are the servers lagging for you guys or is it just me

[velvet egret]

Scavs spawn in as the match progresses they aren’t all in at the start of the match

[clear marlin]

what pistol should i use for pistol kill pmcs

[unreal horizon]

Anything works it's just an aim check

[edgy sail]

Would anyone be kind enough to unlock dorms marked room? I need to mark it 🙂

[storm lichen]

The one with the water jugs?

[edgy sail]

no

[lavish panther]

LF 1 to show me the ropes, very very new

[unkempt egret]

If you are trying to force it with factory runs, glock 18.
Most people do it early wipe when it's easier tho. It's not an important quest to complete so don't stress it too much.

[hushed field]

glock 18c, 5-7, rsh-12

[winter aspen]

any noobs wanna group on GZ for mg/grenade launcher quest?

[clear marlin]

thx good to know

[pure compass]

i just killed 3 kitted ass pmcs on interchange as a scav and why tf does this cqc mask cost 600k on flea bro wtf

[unkempt egret]

There are no follow ups and the rewards aren't amazing, bring a backup pistol when using a bolt action and it probably will eventualy complete organicaly

[pure compass]

ASH12 with ps12b FTW

[cursive forge]

streamers use it so every idiot wants it if u find it it is easyyyy cash

[hoary falcon]

It's full level 4 face and you can wear ears with it

also no smudges

Nothing is better

[winter aspen]

can someone help me with GZ quests

[weary quartz]

Which hideout farm or generator should I get forst

[nocturne palm]

Bad gateway error 502 cant download game help pls

@pastel current

[unreal horizon]

you're cooked lmao

[hoary falcon]

go for workbench 1

[unique vault]

@weary quartz med station 1, so you can craft selawas for "shortage" from therapist, then labratory 2 so you can craft 60round mags for AKs for "ice cream cones" from prapor

if you have already done those, then just work on what ever is the closest to upgrading for you

[weary quartz]

So bo workbench like the other guy

[hushed field]

med station and lavatory

[unique vault]

workmench is good to make power cords into wires, but right now its not very profitable, and i suppose if you want to wait 17 hours and consume fuel you could use it to craft gas analizers, for sanitary standards part 1 and 2, but its not super useful until level 3 workbench, *(workbench level 1 does let you "edit presets") on weapons, (showing you all the attachments and modifications you have ever identified in this wipe so you can build out a gun. but personally i wouldnt advise a new player to invest into a gun like that

if you just got to level 15 i would rush med station 1, then rush labratory 2

if youre under 15 stilll try and focus on those

[weary quartz]

What about the water thingie booze and bitcoin

[unique vault]

what level are you?

you wont be able to create a booze generator until you have level 2 water collector, and that requires work bench level 2, requiring level 20 for level 2 mechanic to even upgrade workbench 2. so unless youre level 20+ its not even possible

[weary quartz]

Oh alright

[brisk wharf]

build everything that your level allows at the moment

and so on

[weary quartz]

I prob should be working on getting to flea market

[unique vault]

yeah if youre not level 15 yet just do tasks

then rush med station and then lab 2

i would recomend doing parpor quest, (dont focus on shoot out picnic)

[weary quartz]

Should I just buy all the materials from flee when I get there?

[unique vault]

find as many as you can

are you in a channel i can help you

[winter aspen]

anyone wanna help me with GZ quests?

[undone drum]

Check tarkov.dev for what crafts are currently profitable

[weary quartz]

No but if you want to help me sometime later sure

[dull swallow]

has streets been laggy for you guys?

[undone drum]

Yes

[vital oasis]

quality labs raid, went in with a 153 second pmc i killed killed 2 other guys and i scooped up the loot lol

[cold flower]

👍

[orchid isle]

back to lobby

[winter aspen]

any noobs wanna meet up on GZ?

[fickle tendon]

im new and looking for a group

[orchid isle]

boom u two can play @winter aspen

but #pvp-lfg if yall want more or diff ppl

[inner flume]

wym, he's just better man, get gud

[valid anchor]

average Arena player

[strange ibex]

pretty sure he was being sarcastic, but yeah.

[valid anchor]

not claiming to know aboutb the anti-cheast but tbh it fuvking SUCKS

[inner flume]

i was being satirical, sry if i conveyed it poorly, yeah guy is pretty much omegasus but there's nothing we can do but report, rekit and go again

[valid anchor]

I have been insta killed of spawn I run all the time right off spawn but these people just insta headshot me and they're like level 36

you have to grind this game to be level 36, but these guys just get away with it even after report

it takes some time for a ban

[strange ibex]

also bsg cant do something about all the cheaters for good cuz like half of the people promoting their game via streaming are using esp lmao

[valid anchor]

actually?

like who?

[strange ibex]

plus as you stated those lovely standard accounts rolling in each ban wave

my msg wasnt able to send

cuz of server moderation

but in short yes

[valid anchor]

I spawned into Factory with a saiga 12 kit literally insta merked by someone, didn't know how to report at that time so I just left that screen which is the other bad part that you can only report immediately after a raid

[strange ibex]

nah about the streamers who are apart of this discord/tarkov community that hack

[valid anchor]

no like insta

[strange ibex]

its funny ive seen so many kappa people that have had 1000s of hrs bro and they have been esp'ing lowkey for wipes now

no ban

[hazy veldt]

If they insta-ban, cheat maker can discover the vulnerabilities of the anticheat easily.

[valid anchor]

not like within 5 seconds, like I spawned got headshot, truied to run then hit again

[hazy veldt]

but they should ban every week or two weeks.

[strange ibex]

the game is literally infested with hackers, its not every raid but go to labs and youll see

I simply refuse to go to labs, I have gotten a few keycards and selling it is better than risking that shit

[hazy veldt]

you should keep 10 fir, for quest

[strange ibex]

sometimes it can be dead

[valid anchor]

I am nowhere near there

[strange ibex]

sometimes you can get insta killed by sweat, othertimes its a full on hacker, its moreso the fact that its alot more common than it should be sadly to die by a hacker in labs

[hazy veldt]

therapist quest is pretty close

[strange ibex]

if you run it enough

[mellow flax]

Willing to help out new players if they'd like help with tasks/looting/general knowledge. I know Customs/Factory really well and know other maps generally

[strange ibex]

which just shows theres a fucking cheater problem in the game

[hazy veldt]

losers

there been a few small streamers who cheat and get caught, it's always funny af

who?

[valid anchor]

I am devestatingly poor, I know I am not good at the game but I wanna say that 30% of the time I die by a hacker, but the other 70% I die to having bad loot and bad gear so when I get into like any sort of fight I am dead. I tried doing the first tasks but I just get wiped

[strange ibex]

its dumb af they need to shadowban blatant accounts especially now that they have fucking view profile systems, whats the point of reporting people. lmao

[valid anchor]

I did insure my gear so I am just waiting for whatever to get back to me within like a day or two so I can actually do tasks

no most deaths are just me not knowing what to do in a fight and having shitty ammo

Like I think the best ammo I have had was FMJ 7.62x39

which ain't bad but I think I had like lvl 2 armor on so someone just sniped me

glad to be a part of shooter born in heaven

I know, I think when I checked the dude's account he had like a T5000 so that man absolutely rocked my shit

[strange ibex]

😭

[valid anchor]

He was a legit ass player who hit some crazy shot on me

[strange ibex]

should i click that ong

[valid anchor]

I legit do not know where he was, I was on reserve and that man just smoked me like a cigarette

That man did not have luck, he had skill, a good spot, probably decent ammo, a T5000 and some dumbass who was wearing T2 armor like 2-300 meters away from him

that shot was so damn impressive

[bold kernel]

HAH

no way you got yourself banned for posting an rmt site

[valid anchor]

I do too, I am curious

zamn he just got hit with the T5000 ban sniper

ok how much is a T5000 btw?

because if possible I may or may not purchase just to lose that jawn within 5 minutes and shoot maybe 1 shot

[bold kernel]

they’re good

and yes definitely try it

all you need is a suppressor and sight and ggs

[valid anchor]

it looks so damn fun

I wanna be the guy who snipes the idiot

idc if I get sniped as long as that jawn is in my hands I'll be happy with life for once

depends if I can get past the first quests, but for that I need to find my brain somewhere in Ground Zero

then I can think

[bold kernel]

oh shiit you’re new new

you can

[valid anchor]

I am so new that my stash has been wiped clean

gotta find my brain, think I left it somewhre

somewhere*

[cold flower]

Snow, what to do when mental is down from so many raids? I have not extracted once today and I've gone on like 20 raids or so

[valid anchor]

you go again

[cold flower]

I get like 4-5 kills in a raid then die on my way to extract or die to the last guy in the fight

[valid anchor]

next raid you make it all back

[cold flower]

Key word: 20

[valid anchor]

make it 40

trust next raid is the one

[cold flower]

I've gone down from 56 million to 18

[valid anchor]

damn, you should let me invest that for you

[orchid isle]

add tarkov stocks

[brittle jolt]

Am new and struggling, Could use some help trying to fix my sound as it has no direction and is incredibly muffled, other games such as R6s has directional sound and isnt muffled

And ive looked up how to fix it but all i can find is people bitching about how they dont like tarkov sound

[hazy veldt]

tarkov sound is ass

[hazy veldt]

turn binaural on, play with eq or play at high volume & clamp loudness

direction is fucked in most cases, it's just tarkov.

[violet plover]

help

[brittle jolt]

Then how tf am i supposed to identify where someone is shooting me from, Every death ive had is some douch canou camping somewhere and clapping my cheeks at the extract, and not once have i ever even been able to see the mfer shooting me

All of my deaths have been a player, and all of my deaths have been at the exact same extract

with the exception of 1

which was when i tried to get to another extract

[hazy veldt]

you go in offline, check angles and find the possible camp spots, then check all those spots every time in live.
or you watch stankrat, 95% of the time, people copy his rat spots.

or you yolo it and deal with dying.

but just go at night, cuts down extract campers by 500%

[brittle jolt]

the extracts available are all in the middle of very open streets, checking for that would be the exact same ad checking the entire map

[inner flume]

What map are you even talking about

[hazy veldt]

streets it seems?

[brittle jolt]

the one every single quest at level 1 wants you to go

ground zero

[hazy veldt]

Oh Ground Zero, just take the flare extract

[brittle jolt]

?

[hazy veldt]

https://tarkov.dev/map/ground-zero mira ave.

[inner flume]

My brother you're getting smoked by fellow low levels, you need to always wear an ingame headphone set or sound just doesnt work

[brittle jolt]

wait so that flare extracts you?

[hazy veldt]

no, you shoot it and then you can walk to the extract area

if you don't shoot flare, off-map "sniper scav" kills you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT26Hu3Nycc

[brittle jolt]

Ive got headphones, sound is increadibly muffled, and the direction is near impossible to differentiate, my audio is fine on other games, binural is turned on and i havent fucked with any of the sound settings beyond making sure it was on

[hazy veldt]

how loud are gunshots?

[inner flume]

Turn binaural off then on again and restart your game

[brittle jolt]

loud enough, enough to tell if its me getting shot at or if its shots somewhere else

[inner flume]

If you just turned it on without restarting it might not apply until restart

[hazy veldt]

if you want to use tarkov audio, you need want to have volume loud enough that gunshots almost hurt, because devs want you to get tinnitus.

[west thicket]

it just takes practice, i had lots of problems for awhile

[hazy veldt]

but at the core, tarkov audio is trash compared to almost every other game.

especially r6/cs2

[west thicket]

but yes you will have issues sometimes that you cant fix cause tarkov audio sucks, like all floors of resort in shoreline

[brittle jolt]

aight ill give it a go, also how can i add a sight to the M4A1, online says i gotta change the ags tubing sight to somthing else?

[hazy veldt]

you can't buy the low profile gas tube anymore at level 1 traders

[brittle jolt]

So im forced to use that dog shit iron sight

well thats lame

[hazy veldt]

or use a optic that's high enough to not be bothered by it too much

[brittle jolt]

what would work level 1 for that/

[hazy veldt]

I don't think there's any good optics available at level1 for that.

Oh if you do gunsmith part1, you'll be able to buy one of the low profile mounts.

[brittle jolt]

alright

should i sell starting equipment and just use cheap as guns?

[hazy veldt]

You can, but you can also just run them, you'll lose them sooner or later.

[grim nexus]

I wouldn’t recommend that

[brittle jolt]

yeah i figure, but id rather get good with guns im more liekly to actually get to use,

[hazy veldt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f11r-uGlO8

[brittle jolt]

doubt ill ever get to the point any time soon where i can consistenly afford to use the MP5 or M4A1

[hazy veldt]

personally I run aks74u(b/n) until level 15 at least.

[hazy veldt]

mp5 is like 20k on flea, that you unlock at level 15

[inner flume]

Modded guns feel so much different than stock weapons its not really the same feeling to get used to anyway

[hazy veldt]

pp-19 is good headshooting machine

[grim nexus]

Mosin is always very reliable

[brittle jolt]

i plan on using a gun that i can chuck a silencer on

[hazy veldt]

comes back on insurance often too

[brittle jolt]

ive heard the SKS is a good shout?

[grim nexus]

Sks is decent

[hazy veldt]

It's okay, but it really shines with the best mods.

[inner flume]

99% of guns can have a silencer so that's not an argument lol

[grim nexus]

But the recoil can be high

On stock gun

[hazy veldt]

yep

meta sks build is super laser tho

[brittle jolt]

I ment scope, brain was dumb and wrote silencer

[hazy veldt]

aks74u(b/n) with 5.45x39 US is pretty laser too.

[inner flume]

Then again, you can slap a scope on most anything that's not a tiny gun and even then small arms can have scope mount even if its not very practical

95% of weapons have a rail on top that support scopes

[merry berry]

I bought an internally suppressed mpx and it's come back most insurances, just without attachments

and pp19 is a pretty good early gun, 30 round auto and pray for a hs

[proud panther]

anyone know how to fix my game from freezing for 30 seconds and disconnecting me from the game whenever I hit Escape and pull up my pause menu?

I have Automatic RAM Cleaner off

[vital hawk]

is going in with notihing on pmc smart

[undone drum]

Check "tagged and cursed" mechanic on tarkov wiki

[ember oak]

dont cheap out on yourself, you will lose more money on budget kits(paca armor, cheap weapon) than running full t4 200k weapons

[woeful spruce]

I know every corner of streets an im genuinely dumbfounded. I have idea where the fuck you are. Did you run by a shopping mall to your left on the way there? Then it could be klimov

[fervent thistle]

im not sure, i dont think it was klimov thats why i was confused

[woeful spruce]

Computer enhance

Im 90% sure it says klimova

[fervent thistle]

wait ive got a longer version of the clip

ill send it

it was klimnov

[woeful spruce]

Yea but its the oposite end of klimov then i thought

I forgot you can even go out of bounds on this side

[fervent thistle]

yea its litt my first time playing streets as i only just managed to run it

[woeful spruce]

You jumped the map border that was roughly on that restaurant table around here went west amd died

[fervent thistle]

ah

thanks for the help

atleast i knnow now

is thicc case barter worth it from jager ll4

[woeful spruce]

I dont do em as im usually fine with the one you get from questing but of the 3 barters for it that are possible that one seems most worth it

[undone drum]

Check tarkov.dev. you can find there most profitable barters

[fervent thistle]

okay thanks

[fervent thistle]

what questline do you get it from?

[woeful spruce]

Therapists private clinic

You need to hand in one found in raid ledx and ophtalmoscope amd she gives it to you

You uaually get it around lvl 35

[fervent thistle]

okay thanks

fuck im so low down the therapist quest line

[woeful spruce]

Im pretty sure you need to complete the healthcare privacy questline to get it

[fervent thistle]

okay thanks

[pliant vapor]

if any new guys are looking for a group to queue with just dm me rq

[ember oak]

pretty sure there is a marked room here, how is it called?

reserve

[undone drum]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/RB-VO_marked_key

[ember oak]

should i also bring the rb-ao key? or is the loot in there bad

[undone drum]

don´t think its usefull. it has AK spawns in it and weapon mods. Marked room always has some juicy gun you can drag out, so you need the slot

[woeful spruce]

Loot isnt bad but not great. Its mostly ak rifles and a couple atachments. Very good key for like zero to hero, hardcore or other stuff like that. Can be skipped for normal gameplay

[grizzled pelican]

if I've only got 1 GPU and I'm not doing the mechanic 3 GPU quest since i can't anticipate when I'll have 3 GPUs so should I go ahead and build the hideout bitcoin farm?

[upbeat snow]

I mean the profit will be really slow
