[finite sail]

i like the osprey yes but its pretty heavy

[rapid birch]

Armors that are level 4 and up are good, but it's mostly important if you know how to pvp.

Otherwise you can sit naked in a bush and use other people's armors 😅

[finite sail]

i pvp alot, just sometime i will have what i think is good armor and i get 3 tap in the chest and so i wanted to ask other ppl what they think about whats a good armor

[rapid birch]

Then aim for armors with good plates (lvl 4, 5, 6) and lots of cover areas. But now lots of people are running good bullets so 3 shots is a lot to get shot with.

[hushed field]

like this armour

tier 5 with good coverage

[late fossil]

whats different with the vog-25 grenade?

"bullet velocity" instead of "fragments"? whats that?

oh is it for grenade launcher?

[hushed field]

ya

[velvet forge]

can anyone help me clean out my stash. ive got a bunch of small components that i dont know if i need or not for hide out

[dark trail]

Why beanie

[hushed field]

quest

[dark trail]

Cool

[honest hatch]

what armored rig has best coverage?

[honest hatch]

check wiki
itll tell u if u need it for quest or hideut ad how much of it u need

[lofty wave]

theres a lot but basically any rig that is level 3 aramid and covers everything around stomach/thorax with neck protection

if it covers arms or groin or whatever thats a nice bonus but not needed

[valid crypt]

Looking good for first wipe? I just finally finished all ground zero quests. I was so done with Mechanic one lmao.

[main violet]

wheres the best spot for hunting trip?

[honest hatch]

is avs any good?

[dawn geyser]

Very good

I expect ~10-33% survival for first wipers

[lofty wave]

funny that u said 33 pretty sure i finished my first wipe at 34 😎

[dawn geyser]

[woeful spruce]

Its got good storage and is class 3 protection under whatever plates you but in it put doesnt protect neck and sides at all. Its often taken by other players cause of its good storage so you might not get it in insurance often

There are much worse options out there but its not my prefered option

[late fossil]

rookie numbers

i consider myself an expert at the field of survival 😎

[pastel fulcrum]

why does my scav about ever other raid have auto vault on, sometimes with my pmc too its super annoying

[undone drum]

you can switch this off

[pastel fulcrum]

it is off

it just randomly turns on without chaning the setting

[undone drum]

show me. make a screenshot pls

[pastel fulcrum]

Ill get in a scav and see if it does it

[pastel fulcrum]

it didnt do it ill try again

[fleet holly]

I've got a couple hours to play if any new players want some help from an experienced player, I know all maps and most quests

[dull prawn]

How late into the wipe are we? I'm trying to grind out lvl 20 rn but it feels like things are winding down

Currently lvl 19

Need that mechanic 2

[unreal horizon]

Half way

[undone drum]

Something of a half way. Is this your first wipe?

[dull prawn]

Yup

Goal is to hit lvl 30 before the end

[undone drum]

Things are winding down means your raids are empty?

[dull prawn]

Kinda, just less chaos it feels like, if there is a packet loss I don't see many pmcs, I know I'm behind the curve, plus I can't find anyone who isn't running less that lvl 5 Armour, my pvp still needs some work but I'm just trying to get a sense of how much time I have left

[undone drum]

I have 5-6 wipes behind me and except the crazy first 2-4 weeks, where its packed,
there isn´t really a sharp decline and is awlays worth playing and having fun

[dull prawn]

Alright thanks, just tricky to get a feel for things is all

[undone drum]

no worries, you are always welcome to ask her 🙂

[valid crypt]

Damn. Thats so nice to hear ngl haha

[austere current]

can someone help me with bunker part 2?

[unreal horizon]

for pawns and black bishop you just do 1/2

[tawdry maple]

its back

[formal copper]

nah, i'd win

anyone has a map of streets loot spawns

and extracts

[olive cape]

question, where did my arm go during this engagement?

why is my arm just aiming at like idk the floor or something

[dawn geyser]

Can you submit the video?

Hard to tell with a screenshot

[hidden stone]

i need help with the door

[orchid isle]

nom nom nom

[hardy hound]

anyone got any leveling up tips lvl 6 rn tryna get 15 for flea market any tips i mainly go ground zero fast pvp and decent loot

[dark trail]

Quests.

[hardy hound]

doing them rn lol hard as shit

[hardy hound]

u know why i tried to do unlock jeager task and when i was at the wooden thing i couldnt find the white peice of paper or whatever can someone take it before me?

[dark trail]

It spawns for everybody so you can take it and someone else can as well, did you look hard enough? (Under the ladder)

[hardy hound]

yeh under the it all everything idk ima give it another go soon but ty

[unreal horizon]

You were on pmc?

[digital rock]

What’s like the first way I can get thicc case?

Which task or trade or anything is the easiest to get to

[unreal horizon]

lvl 35

thera

[dark trail]

Private clinic

[digital rock]

Is that the the ledx and o scope

[unreal horizon]

think so

[thorny oriole]

any beginners wanna play together?

[proud thicket]

i literally cant load into a raid no matter what "connection error lost" all the time ,solutions?

[carmine garnet]

Is there no way to repair a weapon to 100% again?

[tidal lagoon]

no

[carmine garnet]

So, once the gun is less than 90%.....might as well trash it?

[tidal lagoon]

or just keep using it

[carmine garnet]

but it'd jam a bunch, no?

[tidal lagoon]

no

just cuz it crosses the limit of when it can start to jam doesnt mewan its gonna jam every mag

[carmine garnet]

so realistically when is a gun considered unuseable? Like, when do players typically just trash it and get a new one?

[tidal lagoon]

most people lose them before that happens

like between 70-80 u should probably just sell it and get a new one

[carmine garnet]

very funny timing.......I was playing offline with my M4A1, its durability is at 86....and it jammed and scav killed me lol

[carmine garnet]

ya that's kinda the answer i've been lookin for. Thank you

[hidden stone]

depends on guns. aks u can run into the dirt. fancy hk i wouldnt want to mag dump under 90

[upbeat elk]

His PMC SR is 27% tho. And who even says "how do my stats look" after 18 pmc raids 😄

[unreal horizon]

he's survivalratemaxxing

[wanton geyser]

hello i am on the Colleagues - Part 3/ huntsman path sadist an it says do not kill sanitar, does the therapist quest fail if i kill him or is it if i turn in jeagers task?

[tidal lagoon]

if u kill him

[proud thicket]

ive tried to load into numerous different raids and maps, i cant load into a single map "connection error lost" scav seems to work, any solutions or do i reinstall tarkov?

i don't lose my gear though, it's just that i cant load into a raid

[hidden stone]

ive only had 1 person that i reported banned for cheating in the past month... isnt that wild? i've seen plenty of 18k/d 200 hour accounts and i guess none of them were cheaters im just inherently bad at the game

it was a report from lighthouse 2 months ago lol and it just hit today... so this guy was going for 2 months lol

[austere hound]

If you spam reports they're lowered in priority or even ignored.

[smoky plank]

Question, is this still up to date or any requirements have change since that patch

[woeful spruce]

Not much changed but mow you need a bit more than this as hall of fame got added for example

[tidal lagoon]

there is no actual reason to keep hideout items tho

just takes up space

[honest hatch]

oh what do you prefer?

also which rig protects neck?

[woeful spruce]

Bagarly is nice, idk if any protect neck other than the scav rigs like the 6b3tm

[undone drum]

Check out tarkov tracker. Not only does it show you what you need but you can also keep track, what you have

[wispy coyote]

why did a scav kill me on tarkov i didnt shoot anything he just looked at me and shot

wasnta player scav either

ground zero

[austere hound]

Boss guard? What's your scav rep?

[wispy coyote]

1.5

[honest hatch]

ah i see

[austere hound]

Shouldn't happen unless it's a boss guard or you fall below -1.0

[wispy coyote]

is there a boss on ground zero?

[austere hound]

Now there is, yes. Only in the 21+ lobbies. Kollontay is there

[wispy coyote]

ohhh okay

i saw someone but i thought it was just a player scav and ran past them and then a random scav behind them shot me

[austere hound]

Do you happen to have the name of the ai that killed you?

[wispy coyote]

dron dendi

[austere hound]

Hmm. The list of his guards names is on the wiki page, but I don't see that one there. Maybe there are some new ones since the update though. Who knows

lol

didnt think it was a boss i thought a player scav killed a player or it was just a player that didnt care didnt think boss was on ground zero

[weary quartz]

What to do, I lost all my money

[undone drum]

You always have a scav where you can farm

But maybe lets chill for a minute and analyse why you lost everything

[whole thistle]

learn a loot run and go scav

[weary quartz]

still get killed by pmcs

[undone drum]

I dont. So there is a way

Where do you scav?

[weary quartz]

interchange

[undone drum]

Where do you usually die there?

What do you usually loot?

[weary quartz]

inside the idea, and I try loot the electronic sections

[undone drum]

i always avoid it, since there is always pvp over it

[plucky tangle]

which ammo is better

[orchid isle]

sost

[hazy veldt]

92 or lower, I start thinking of switching it out, especially on magdump guns.

[hazy veldt]

learn lighthouse or streets = unlimited money.

[weary quartz]

Nah honestly I don’t think its the money thats the problem, its just I don’t shoot at all

[undone drum]

scav on ligthouse is indeed easy to learn and you can always choose between just looting, pve ing or pvp ing

[weary quartz]

well I still gotta learn to shoot people or else I'm not going anywhere

[undone drum]

wait, its this you?

[weary quartz]

yes

[austere current]

how do you even get survivalist path junkie it done

cant find scavs while using stims....

what a waste

[tidal lagoon]

just dont use the stims until u find a scav

[austere current]

just painkiller counts?

[undone drum]

no

[austere current]

rip

[tidal lagoon]

bring milk or hot rod

[undone drum]

Provisions that give skill buffs, such as the Can of Hot Rod energy drink or Milk can be used.

[austere current]

tyty

so should i go in as tagged and cursed?

[tidal lagoon]

thats not necessary

scavs on wood are easy to find

[honest hatch]

im having trouble finishing tarkov shooter 4

should i just leave it?

[tidal lagoon]

probably

[unreal horizon]

i love tarkov shooter

[honest hatch]

im having trouble finding ppl over 80 m and when they are theyre usually like 200m away

[unreal horizon]

problem?

just like shoot them in the face

[honest hatch]

yea u right

[unreal horizon]

if you suck at sniping camp something you know is 80m ig

[honest hatch]

im gonna try woods

[austere current]

wood map is so ass right now, everybody sitting

[honest hatch]

well lighthouse isnt working for me so im gonna try a diff map

[austere current]

im hunting scavs and cant find any

no voice line

[weary quartz]

Do insta noodles spawn on the shelfs at interchange?

[pastel fulcrum]

I dont think so, but check camp sites and scavs, It was bugged at the start of wipe im pretty sure and it took me foreever to get them

[undone drum]

no

[brazen swift]

can i refuel empty fuel tanks (blue)?

or do i just sell it?

[undone drum]

no

[weary quartz]

Where can I find them mainly

[undone drum]

interchange idea

[hushed field]

vudu

[paper salmon]

Just reinstalled the game and haven’t touched it in about a year and a half. Which guns should I use from the level 1 traders

[undone drum]

ak-74U

[edgy plover]

OP-SKS is the best
Aks-74u is a good second
9mm guns like pp19 or mp5 are alright

[paper salmon]

Seen a Jesse video where he talked about the VPO 136 and the kedr and ppsh are those still viable?

[undone drum]

i would say no, but it depends on you and if you like them. your playstyle and such

[paper salmon]

I’d love to say im@a chad but im more of a rat play style, hang back and hit cheesy shots

[edgy plover]

That was last wipe

Lmao autocorrect

[paper salmon]

@edgy plover did they change those guns and make them trash?

[tidal lagoon]

they reworked the recoil system

so guns have like no recoil anymore so not much reason to use those guns when u can use a proper gun and still beam

[edgy plover]

^

[paper salmon]

I gotcha, so I’m the place where I do want to use a semi auto or more of a distance or rather gun what would yall suggest

I’m not really for storming a building full auto

[edgy plover]

OP-SKS is the best
Aks-74u is a good second
9mm guns like pp19 or mp5 are alright

[manic sky]

aug , sag , mdr

op sks

[edgy plover]

He’s new lol

He ain’t got that shit

[paper salmon]

Looks like sks gonna be my jam when I unlock jaeger

[manic sky]

he better stick to the ak74u then

[edgy plover]

OP SKS is cracked

[tidal lagoon]

sks is more favourable for what u want to do, but if youre gonna be doing tasks etc and trying to progress ure gonna be forced to go into buildings and shit so better off with a aks74u in those scenarios

sks can perform in close range too tho

[storm salmon]

can u get rid of the bright spot on the scope reticule while in night vision

[manic sky]

it do be shreddin at point blank

[paper salmon]

Kinda behind on this wipe, I don’t see myself hitting flea this wipe

Which is okay, I’ll use what I got and just get into a bunch of gunfights

[edgy plover]

What scope?

[storm salmon]

tbh i died, dont remeber the name, but when i scope in with nv on it was too bright to see in redicule, where do i see which scopes work and which dont

[tidal lagoon]

tac30?

[storm salmon]

yes it was a tac30 i think

[tidal lagoon]

so like any other decent scope will work with nvgs

[edgy plover]

Tac30 bad

[storm salmon]

got it

thanks for the help guys, didnt know some scopes didnt work with nv, just getting into night raids

[dusty spruce]

@clear goblet thanks, ruined my night. GG's, hope you have a good one

[undone drum]

Sory, what happened?

[dusty spruce]

i didnt ping you, did i?

[undone drum]

What assistance do you need beginner?

[orchid isle]

tk?

[dusty spruce]

nah

just better than me lol

[orchid isle]

:(

[dusty spruce]

and im being toxic

[halcyon needle]

hi im new to the game, is anyone down to team up and show me the ropes?

[sinful glade]

hi two newbies in lfg lobby anyone wanna help us out and teach us some fun things?

[plucky tangle]

is there a way to tell if i died to a pmc or scav without seeing them

[mint light]

its a pmc

[plucky tangle]

how do you know

[mint light]

his name is shown

[plucky tangle]

i was a scav just wondering if i died to a fellow scav

[mint light]

if its a scav or player scav its a russian name

[plucky tangle]

does it not show for player scavs?

[mint light]

pscavs have the russian name and their their user in parenthesis

[plucky tangle]

do you have any examples

if not i guess i understand

[west thicket]

other way around but yea

it would say Oleg Vazhnyy (Potchie) if it was a player scav

but it would just say Oleg Vazhnyy if it was ai scav

uhhh im pretty sure its scav name first and then player name but yea i could be wrong

in any case, the point is there

[ashen plover]

whats a good budget medium-long range gun. semi (or full) rifle

[ashen plover]

also, my man

[ashen plover]

[fair remnant]

anyone wanna help me with Golden Swag?

[plucky tangle]

does kollontays riot helmet stop class 4 ammo

because i headshot him like 3 times with pp ammo

[sick delta]

the adar, its super versatile and the base is like 46k from skier. the other i would recommend is the VPO-209. its a nice ak platform that shoots .366 tkm its nice if you run the AP rounds but Eko work fine as well but take ap over eko any day

[sick delta]

it does not however it does reduce damage taken from ammo. you should have killed him but i wasnt there so idk

[plucky tangle]

might of bounced off

but that was crazy

its whatever

[sick delta]

exit the inventory of what you're looting and crouch. don't turn so you avoid noise but sit and wait. confirm if it is 1 or 2 and either let them pass or hold an angle. if you decide to fight them either wait and let them push you or you push them, it all depends on your comfortability and the direction, angle of your opponents.

[sick delta]

youre going to say that a lot playing this game lol

[wispy coyote]

even though im solo should i insure ny guns and armor most of the time?

[sick delta]

when you are playing try to even out your kit, thats why the 1-6x scopes are so common

[sick delta]

generally yes, you will get 120k worth of stuff back for 35k

[wispy coyote]

okay thanks

[sick delta]

no problem man

[dry flint]

yes, desync is just funny in this game. but to be fair, its an issue with most games. being aggresive will always give an advantage

[raven quarry]

if they know where you are you shouldnt be holding a angle, but if they dont the amount of time it takes to find you, aim and shoot outweighs desync easily

[tardy crescent]

^ this exactly

The only real exception to this is if you have a really funky angle

[merry berry]

If u insurance everything, eventually u get to a point where u have multiple whole kits to equip from insurance. Be warned that insurance times out tho. Think I've lost at least 1m just by by quests and insurance timing out

[wispy coyote]

nah i got space and stuff i normally run stuff i dont try to have gear fear so its fine for me

[soft tapir]

should i try to complete setup or would i shit and piss myself by the time i finish it

literally every player i meet is some level 50 chad

[woeful spruce]

You can craft up on some ap-20 chads wont stand too much of a chance

But even regular piranha or flechette is good enoughto get through the aramid around the plates and kill in thorax if you just dont hit right in the center of mass

[astral glen]

I used .50 BMG because it can one tap thorax and will pen all soft armour

[mighty ledge]

which maps have v-ex 100%

[astral glen]

Shoreline, Ground Zero, Woods

[mighty ledge]

tq

[glacial dagger]

can some1 help me find extract on labs soon(im in raid rn)

[glacial dagger]

nah i died

[mighty ledge]

where can i find gpsa other than labs

[woeful spruce]

The actually just recently made them spawn on lvl 20+ ground zero in the terra group building. One of the big reasons to run that map now

[mighty ledge]

FR

okok

thanks ma dood

[plucky tangle]

why is my seller rep going down

[astral glen]

Flea market rep?

[plucky tangle]

2 mil just disappeared from my stash???

4 mil

HOW

[astral glen]

When items are not sold or if you remove the listing you lose reputation

[plucky tangle]

oh

well i just lost 4 mil from my stash

[astral glen]

Did you list something for a massively inflated price and pay a huge fee?

[plucky tangle]

oh fuck

i did that on accident

😭

whens wipe

[astral glen]

Probably not for another ~3 months

[plucky tangle]

i accidentally listed in usd instead of roubles for the price i was going for

and i took it offsale

💀

how much rep do you lose

for not selling

[frank summit]

Is this confirmed? I haven't played much GZ, but wiki still only says labs

[woeful spruce]

Havent found it myself but have hear it from multiple people on here

[frank summit]

Any screenshots or videos?

[unkempt egret]

Iirc as much as you would have gained if you did sell it

[astral glen]

GPSA and MCC do not spawn on GZ

They only spawn on The Lab

Ground Zero having these items is just misinfo

[upbeat elk]

I saw that on reddit and posted here. Maybe it was a bug from BSGs side if its not active anymore? Maybe its still active? Idk

[astral glen]

There has been zero confirmed proof of it spawning on the location

It's just misinformation

[upbeat elk]

Could be, i guess. I blindly believed, cuz why would someone just randomly make that up day 1 of new GZ

But, internet yk

[astral glen]

yeah people be weird for updoots

[soft tapir]

do you guys ever stop playing for the wipe

or do yall just play until the next wipe

[frank summit]

I typically take a break so I don't burn out

[dry flint]

Im almost burnt out as well. I only have streets and very high level quests left. I dont want to do streets and I am not aiming for kappa. Only thing keeping me going is lightkeeper quests

[upbeat elk]

The wipes i play, i grind the first 2 weeks for 42 and then i dont play a lot. Just a few raids a week.

[winged crown]

where is the best place to search get an 'awl' for making lavatory lvl 1, haven't seen one yet 😦

[half quest]

jackets/toolbox/tech supply crate -
i sometimes see them on interchange behind goshan on the shelves as well

[winged crown]

ok thanks @half quest

[half quest]

[tidal lagoon]

probably

now delete the image before mods see u

[plucky tangle]

you cant post images?

[tidal lagoon]

u can post images

u cant post profiles accusing them

[brittle wren]

you should blurr his name

[plucky tangle]

alr ill just crop it out

[tidal lagoon]

mods will still remove

[plucky tangle]

why 💀

cant see any user

[tidal lagoon]

50/50

[plucky tangle]

was just asking if he was hacking because i got head eyes 1 tap from him when i wasnt even in the open

he left a room and right when he had line of sight he headshot me 💀 and i was kinda far ish

[tidal lagoon]

i mean he most likely is

[plucky tangle]

sad

[dry flint]

Is there any way to put a thermal up my butt(secure case) for a mission?

[tidal lagoon]

no

[dry flint]

Fucking Lightkeeper then

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

[lucid mist]

is there anyway to skip the ground zero quests?

[edgy plover]

no

[slender perch]

is there any guide for quests?

[edgy plover]

plenty of videos but the tarkov wiki is your best friend

[solemn skiff]

Does insurance not work on labs or is it just a msg someone looted my shit?

[edgy plover]

it doesn't work on labs

[solemn skiff]

Makes sense

[undone drum]

checked tarkov wiki?

[dry flint]

insurance on labs is a scam. But based on a post on reddit, it does seem like there is a very slim chance insurance can be returend from labs

[undone drum]

tarkov wiki says no

[dry flint]

I think I fucked up, i think it was an old event https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/159htk8/received_insurance_from_labs_new_event_feature/

[ripe trellis]

Rb-pkpm key any good

[undone drum]

what does tarkov wiki says?

[edgy plover]

No

[ripe trellis]

A Federal State Reserve Agency base bunker command office room key with multiple strange symbols scratched on to it where the room label would usually be. The key is stained by blood and appears to have been misused a lot, making it fragile.

[edgy plover]

PKPM is infamously bad

it's good to trade for the dorms marked room

[icy trout]

I need help with Delivery from the past, been stuck on it too long now, either dying on customs or on factory, key is gone lol

[edgy plover]

You've tried it 40 times??

[dawn geyser]

Once you get it from customs, I would just pop in a factory LFG here to fill the lobby with friendlies

[undone drum]

there is a section, whats behind the lock

[icy trout]

no my friend ahs the key, and over 3 pmcs its gone lol

i have shit luck

[edgy plover]

you NA or EU

[icy trout]

EU

[edgy plover]

if you can connect to NA i'd be down to help

[icy trout]

idk if my internet can handle...

[edgy plover]

you can check your ping on NA east in the launcher, but don't stress if you cant' do it

[icy trout]

its 100+, its doable lemme just eat something quickly then ill get back to you

[soft tapir]

go factory night

its fucking underrated

[edgy plover]

Maybe in your servers

[soft tapir]

lfg to grind task, first wipe lvl 24. NAE.

#pvp-lfg

[small jungle]

Can you sell items you barter for from traders to flea?

[edgy plover]

No

Only FIR items can be sold on flea
Crafts, quest rewards, or legit finding them in raid

[late fossil]

how do people get to a point where they have like 200m+? Surely not by scaving alone, i mean even if u had an 100% extraction rate as a scav and made a million per raid, u wouild still need to get 200 raids and not spend a single rouble..

[edgy plover]

1 mil a raid is easy if you know streets
And people have lots of gear fear and rat
Having that much money is usually a sign of someone new-ish
Really experienced players don’t hoarde to that extent

[late fossil]

landmark i believe had 270m..

[edgy plover]

Yea well streamers are exceptions

They play ALL the time

Easy to make that much over the course of thousands of raids

[late fossil]

also, in the kits like afak and salewa, what does it mean "stops heavy bleed X ammount of HP"?

[brazen nimbus]

takes that dura off the med i think

[late fossil]

do u have to be over that hp, or it uses that ammount of hp from salewa?

oh i see

[dusty spruce]

It needs more than that amount to stop x item

If you have less than that it won't work, ie, yeah, it removes that much durability from the item

[unkempt egret]

A medkit has a certain amount of resources available to it, healing reduces the resources by the amount healed, other injuries like bleeds and fractures cost a certain price in resources to overcome. If your medkit can pay the resources it can remove the injury.
Eg you have a medkit that can remove light bleed for 50 resources, you have a medkit with 100 resources left. Healing a light bleed would leave you with a medkit that has 50 resources left

[unkempt mist]

Does anyone know about the cursor lock bug? I've had it 4 times in the last 2 days and I want to stop it happening coz it's super annoying

[mint light]

it happens cuz of nvidia clipping software

[unkempt mist]

I don't seem to have that installed though

[stray scroll]

why do some streamers play with a black and white postfx filter if they are using a nvg? is it just personal preference?

[half quest]

ever since i got beaten up by the grinch at christmas night i despise green so i also go for black/white filter

[bold kernel]

anyone wanna help with Aquarius pt1, background check and pharmacist on customs? first wipe here

[wary prism]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Network_Provider_-_Part_1 Are the requirements here up to date?

[woeful spruce]

It technically makes things brighter and easier to spot by some tiny margin that minmaxers and streamers feel is significant. Nothing to worry about for a regular player

[weary quartz]

How laggy is streets compared to other maps

[bold kernel]

i honestly dont have any performance loss there compared to other maps tbh

maybe i didn't monitor the difference enough idk

[undone drum]

20fps less then other maps

[ripe viper]

Can anyone list off the top of their heads which keys are worth bringing to resort?

The expensive ones too, whichever keys are the best for a standard loot run

[orchid isle]

these r good

[dark trail]

Sell red 🙏

[orchid isle]

i run it

[dark trail]

Sell it

[sharp socket]

West 104,112, 203/205,216,219,220,218/221/222,306,301 East 107,San tape,222/226, 206, 306/308, 310, 313/314, 316, 328 and admin both of the safe keys

[orchid isle]

i sold every keycard but red and black if that makes u feel better

[dark trail]

Nice

[ripe viper]

Cool, thanks. This is a very selective pool, is there any other west wing or east wing key that is worth running, even for just some decent items? Not meaning ledX, maybe like military spawns for voodoo etc

[orchid isle]

what ash said

[sharp socket]

I breathe shoreline, those are resort keys you will be getting loot from

Only other keys you should ever consider picking up for the map is HEPS, cottage back door and cottage safe if you have interest outside the resort

[orchid isle]

longer lifespan since u just snore on that map

[digital haven]

looking for a companion that is familiar with pushing dorms. Trying to complete the quest "pharmacist". I already have the key and im bringing in level 4 gear https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/935947156504866887

[prime comet]

Goober

Keeping screenshots

[orchid isle]

hehe

[ornate echo]

do i need this for anything

[sharp socket]

if you wanna suppress a TT pistol yeah

[dark trail]

Suppress the best gun in the game? Who would pass up that offer

[ornate echo]

what is a tt pistol

[dark trail]

Tokarev

The TT

[ornate echo]

is it any good ?

[dark trail]

Best gun in game fr

7.62x25

[ornate echo]

okay ill keep it

[dark trail]

Don’t

[faint canopy]

no worst shit in game

dog poop doodoo

[frosty whale]

anyone else just randomly blowing up

like no grenade audio and the person will be like actively shooting so they werent throwing anyrhing

but i just blow up

[austere current]

can you turn off generator while crafting?

[unkempt egret]

Unironicaly one of the three worst weapons in the game. Competing with the TOZ and makarov for the title. (excluding obvious picks like the toy gun).

[unkempt egret]

Yes, the crafts will just take far longer to complete. You just can't start new crafts with a few exceptions (like the lavatory and water filter)

[austere current]

okok ty

hahaha flash drive just turn into 488 hrs?

[unkempt egret]

If you refuel the generator it'll return to normal crafting times, minus the progress made during the snail pace crafting.

[sage scroll]

Hey! Quick question. I had the quest "The Door" from mechanic. did a single raid on shoreline, and the quest disappeared... Any ideas of info that im missing?

[last bison]

where is the machine gun on ground zero i found the grenade launcher i cant seem to find the machine gun

[dark trail]

It’s overlooking the terragroup plaza and parking

[last bison]

okay

[cloud harbor]

lfg lvl 9 tryn to task to lvl up my first wipe

[ripe trellis]

is san tape key any good? haven't unlocked flea market yet

any good as in can i sell it for alot

[unreal horizon]

Doubt it's going for much rn but early wipe is expensive

[ripe trellis]

Worth using instead then?

[unreal horizon]

Yeah

[upbeat elk]

If you want to run shoreline a lot and rush resot, yes. If not, then no.

You can always check tarkov-market.com for flea prices if youre below lvl 15

[last bison]

Where is the machine gun in ground zero

I'm in the empire building

[hardy fox]

cheap atm but very expensive at start of wipe

[last bison]

I just got a hpc and a pilgrim backpack off a guy

[bold kernel]

do Scavs see during night?

[nocturne basin]

yes

[bold kernel]

let me rephrase, do they have lower visibility, so they can see u up to certain distance, or they see same as in its a day?

[last bison]

Where do I go to get the machine gun for the quest shooting cans on ground zero

[bold kernel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BJarZ4n6Y0

[last bison]

Ok

[nocturne basin]

I believe lower visibility, yes.

[bold kernel]

i see

ye i noticed they dont shoot right away

[scarlet sedge]

Hey buying/building a new pc for tarkov does anyone know what are the best components for tarkov and how much fps they are getting with it? (no budget).

also does anyone recommend waiting for newer cpus or gpus to come out before buying these? (such as blackwell 5090 ai gpu

[undone drum]

There is this certain CPU model from AMD that gives you an edge. It has the biggest single cache and thats why good for gaming

https://www.amd.com/de/products/processors/desktops/ryzen/amd-ryzen-9-7950x3d.html

I doesn´t need to be this one but whatever with x3d on the end gives you good perfornamce

I heard people complaining about them upgrading to 4070/4080 didn´t gave them an expected boost, so i assume GPU is not that important

[scarlet sedge]

yea this game is more cpu reliant

[marsh turret]

is there a way to have toggle lean instead of having to hold e/q?

[half quest]

u can bind it to "press" instead of continious pretty sure, but id highly recommend to get used to it instead

[marsh turret]

is having to hold it better than toggle?

[half quest]

its more flexible.
you can also use alt+d/a for slowleaning. useful for aiming through the cracks at doors etc

[marsh turret]

oh okay i didnt know that thank you!

[merry berry]

If I breach a door, will ai come to me

[woeful spruce]

Not any more then if you didnt do it

[bold kernel]

Anyone wanna help with customs? Need to do aquarius P1, pharmacist and background check

[ripe viper]

How can i farm some good 5.56 ammo? Like what kind of lootrun / map / place can get me some high tier ammo that is like better than SOST?

[unreal horizon]

you dont tbh

[hollow onyx]

hello

does anyone know's good helmet for factory raid on AVT-40?

[ripe viper]

sooooo how and why do people even run m4s?

[unreal horizon]

6a1 minimun, 5a1 optimally

[dark trail]

just collect ap and when you find enough, run an m4

[ripe viper]

yeah, i know. What is a place that spawns good 5.56 ammo such as that, that was the original question

[dark trail]

Nowhere

[hollow onyx]

is maska 1 good?

[ripe viper]

i know they can be bought but its either peackeeper lvl 4 or a whole chain of endgame quests

[dark trail]

maska is a maska lol

[ripe viper]

WOW EXACTLY LIKE MY QUESTIon

WHERE CAN I "COLLECT AP"

[unreal horizon]

they dont spawn consistently enough to be worth farming, just craft/buy

[ripe viper]

thats what i asked bro "where can i get goot 5.56 ammo"

[dark trail]

i dont know specifics, i just run around streets and pick it up wheneve ri can

you can check scav shack on woods

has some good ammo spawns there

[hollow onyx]

with visor its bad?

[safe elk]

Just craft 55a1 like everyone else

[dark trail]

visibility is fine

theres also afuck ton of ammo spawns in reserve but i don tplay that map so i cant tell you info

[hollow onyx]

idk I am talking about Factory

[unreal horizon]

its almost exclusively 545

[dark trail]

info for someone else

[hollow onyx]

oh sorry

[dark trail]

all goo

[short bay]

Hello, new player here. I saw you can upgrade stash to level 2 (and above probably) I was lucky enough to get a drill on one of my runs today on Ground Zero (level 5 atm). Should i stash it and continue getting items and money to upgrade, and focus primarily on that? Does it stay FOREVER upgraded (past wipe), and does it cost me any real money (not that i can see?)

[unreal horizon]

It's for the wipe only, and doesn't cost real money

[pastel fulcrum]

I completed it on woods but now i have to extract, do i have to extract on woods or can it be any mpa

[unreal horizon]

Not sure but it's fast enough to run through woods that I wouldn't risk it

[bold kernel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521620581326520331/1227737075361513563/image.png?ex=66297e41&is=66170941&hm=601647e6a429e579e701180364a81c83a91d4701c77468089d495bc7a9a5b3c7&

got this, died to a scav and now these items are not FIR?

[unreal horizon]

Yes

[bold kernel]

is it because i died?

[unreal horizon]

Yeah

[bold kernel]

fuck me man, if i knew it works like that i would have tried harder

so any time i die on my pmc, items that are in my gamma are not FIR?

so if i find something of great value, put it in my pouch, and then die, it loses FIR?

[frank summit]

yes.

[bold kernel]

so whats the point of pouch then, put worthless items in there that you use in raids but cost too much to buy if u die?

[frank summit]

keys, stims, meds, ammo

[unreal horizon]

Keys

[frank summit]

ect. ect.

[short bay]

thats....extremely expensive for an upgrade that gets wiped...

[unreal horizon]

Not really tbh

Everything gets wipes so who cares

[tidal lagoon]

its expensive because you are new and dont know how to play properly yet

its 2.5 mil and some other shit say 3 mil total, u can easily make that in a few raids if you know how

[bold kernel]

sounds like its expensive cause u just started, was same here 2 months ago, looking back at it, it will be nothing once u play for a bit

[pastel fulcrum]

if i get a run through will it still count

[tidal lagoon]

no

[unreal horizon]

It explicitly says survived so I wouldn't risk it

[pastel fulcrum]

so... just go extract in woods killing a scav or two

[unreal horizon]

Or wait 7 mins but yeah

[pastel fulcrum]

if i die will it reset it or can i just do it in a normal woods raid

Not focusing on extarcitng

[unreal horizon]

Not sure

[short bay]

Ok. My stash is already full of random stuff and weapons 😄 so i am unsure what to do. Urge to sell all rising....

[unreal horizon]

if you want to send a couple screenshots we can help you sort through it :)

[last bison]

I cant load into raids it fades to black and says server disconnected what do I do

[bold kernel]

i would focus on getting that level 15 ASAP

for the flea, then game will open up to u more

and perhaps look into getting junkbox for ur hideout shit, can freely vendor some stuff, but be careful with that

hold any sugars and chocolates u find, they are really good price so they will be nice money when u get flea

[bold kernel]

gives u prices of items on the flea, so u got some general idea on what to keep and what not to keep

[tidal lagoon]

u should delete this

[bold kernel]

why, is it bannable to something

[tidal lagoon]

the website is against TOS now

[bold kernel]

ah really?

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[short bay]

ill be honest with you, the flea market is the thing that i am the LEAST looking forward too. Would avoid it if i can. I absolutely hate player to player trades in game, especially like these.

[bold kernel]

okay let me delete

[unique hornet]

Will i lose scav rep if i kill player scavs that shot me first?

[bold kernel]

to each their own i guess

[short bay]

14 raids so far, only ground zero, alternating scav then pmc. I must say i am a mosin/shotgun guy

[bold kernel]

u do u at the end of the day bro, but someone is gonna go to flea, get better ammo, better attachments, better armor, and blow ur brains out, doesn't have to mean 100% at the end of the day but most likely

[unreal horizon]

based mosin man

[unique hornet]

If you can try learn lighthouse, as a scav you can get some good kits easily

[unreal horizon]

its a lot better than it used to be at least, most meta stuff is traders only rn

[bold kernel]

yeah, i mean i am not talking super super end game stuff

[short bay]

I always find it that people end up spending more time at the virtual markets obsessing over trades/prices etc instead of just playing the game. We will see

[bold kernel]

and even quests, he prob won't unlock too much as its apr 11th, wipe is coming in what? 2 months? depending on how much he plays etc

[tidal lagoon]

we call those people scav mains

[unique hornet]

True, true, i watched a guy drop 5m roubles because things were at “good prices”

[bold kernel]

guess so, don't know how it used to be tbh as i only started 2 months ago also, but tried getting class 5 plates, couldn't get them on flea

hideout also holds me back a bit as i got standard edition, so rep isn't super high

[tidal lagoon]

class 5 and 6 has been banned from flea for a while

[unreal horizon]

i understand why they changed it but i dont love it

[bold kernel]

idk man

i simply havent played enough to render my judgement and opinion as it

as i dont have the full picture since i didnt play up to 2 months ago

so i cannot speak about something about which i do not have the full picture of, but i see their reasons

[languid night]

does anyone have a spare PKP for gunsmith

[bold kernel]

anyways, someone wanna help with some Customs? need to do aquarius p1, background check and pharmacist

[wispy coyote]

went in with a pp19 green tracer and a 6b2 left with this

feel bad the level 3 was his first welcome to tarkov

[undone drum]

and what assistance do you need beginner?

[wispy coyote]

oh thought this was the chat mbmb

[undone drum]

😉

[mint light]

got minimodded and submitted to him

thats lowkey insane

what we doing chat

[wispy coyote]

am a beginner though this is my first wipe

[undone drum]

good work with that gear ngl

[ripe viper]

Is the hk 416 or the m4 better? If we consider possible mods and stuff. I notice with the hk fully modded i can get 55 recoil a bit easier, but my ergo is not as good. On an m4 getting below 60 recoil is much harder but it can have really good ergo still. Is one better in the meta, or is it just preference, or does that 50 rpm from the hk really make a difference?

[mint light]

they are pretty exchangeable

m4 just costs a zillion roubles

[unreal horizon]

hk fires a little bit faster, but 1st shot will win regardless

hk looks cooler imo

[mint light]

hk is usually regarded as way more fun

[unreal horizon]

crux w canted grip clears

[undone drum]

cool thing about hk is its fast firerate.
I use it on maps, where cqb is paired with longer rang engagement

and the rpm makes a difference

[ripe viper]

So what is more "meta" an m4 or an hk? Like in a vacuum what would you take, an unmodded hk or unmodded m4, and reverse, what gun would you take which is fully modded

[iron pasture]

am i doing mira ave wrong?

[undone drum]

for both HK. here i have the stability and good MOA + good firerate, if i need to sqb

[unreal horizon]

it looks like you backed out of the signal flare area

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[unreal horizon]

it needs the popup bottom right

[iron pasture]

so i have to be closer before i use the flare

[unreal horizon]

like 2 steps forward

[tidal lagoon]

and u should be shooting the flare more up

[iron pasture]

i thought that was the start of the snipers range

[tidal lagoon]

u keep walking until it pops up

[mellow oar]

like they said, important meds/stims that are worth alot and u dont wanna lose them again and again. or items that u need for hideout upgrades cuz they dont need to be FIR

[ripe viper]

Yep quite wrong.. i had my fair share of such fails. You need to slowly walk forward until you see in the BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER or your screen "signal flare area" when that text shows up, stop, aim just like you did, maybe sliiiightly more upwards and then pop it. Wait 2 seconds and go in. Dont get frustrated and keep doing it, its a good extract just a bit gimmicky.

Signal flare area is abouut there. You can watch a youtube video but yeah about the edge of that bus i think, paralel to the driver seat yeah?

[unreal horizon]

shoot flare in sky :)

[austere current]

does the match making takes for ever if u load in with only pistol trying to do task???

[unreal horizon]

thats a coincidence

[austere current]

matching 6min like fckkkk

[ripe viper]

I actually think it is a coincidence yeah..

Sometimes you have a "matching" forever bug. If you don't find a game after like 7-8 minutes of searching for a match (not loading map, specifically searching for players) then it might be a bug.

[tidal lagoon]

no lol, alt f4

[unreal horizon]

if you're matching for more than like 3 mins just alt f4 you're match bugged

[foggy stratus]

🤓

[weary quartz]

how good is leg shooting

[foggy stratus]

not good

[tidal lagoon]

worse than head shoot

[foggy stratus]

aim for head

[weary quartz]

what if the only bullets I can use has low pierce

[tidal lagoon]

shoot head

[foggy stratus]

?

[unreal horizon]

piercce their brain

[weary quartz]

bro tryna get me killed

[foggy stratus]

bro is trying to get u to kill people. aim for the head dickhead

👍

[weary quartz]

ahh yes load my entire mag only for the helmet and the armor to tank everything

[foggy stratus]

ah yes, hitting the face where theres zero armor definitely wouldnt kill them!

ur so right bro, waht the fuck do i know

[weary quartz]

ahh yes no body wears helmets

[tidal lagoon]

man

[foggy stratus]

helmets dont cover ur face lil bro

visors are class 3 at max, if someones got a class 4 face mask chances are theyre better than you and ur dying anyways 👍

[unreal horizon]

shoot em in the dick

[unreal horizon]

the ol dick twist

[hushed field]

[weary quartz]

yeah and this pretty much close to late wipe where everyone has decked out loadouts. So I'm dead anyways

[unreal horizon]

[mint light]

how do i make a poll

[mint light]

i dont like this poll

[tidal heron]

bro im just tryna get some assistance whys there a poll section

just 1 question

[mint light]

ok

[tidal heron]

if i die to a cheater do i get my loot back

[mint light]

no

[tidal heron]

why dont they add that

[hushed field]

bc

[mint light]

they honestly probably cant figure out how to do that

[tidal heron]

oh

and 1 more question

do u have tips for blurr when getting shot

like how to get rid of it

[hazy veldt]

did you use unique password or reused one for multiple sites/games?

[unreal horizon]

it gets less blurry once you're back in the main menu

[tidal heron]

oh ok

[hazy veldt]

shoot them first

[tidal heron]

dude

they have like over 1k hours

i dont even have 100

[hushed field]

maybe play the game and learn these things naturally rather than sitting in this chat and asking stupid questions

[tidal heron]

dude im just tryna figure it out abt the blurr

if i can get rid of it with settings

[hushed field]

you cant

[tidal heron]

ok

[hushed field]

now go play

[weary quartz]

you could take painkiller

might help a bit

[still berry]

Was blackkeycard room nerfed?

[unreal horizon]

doesnt feel like it

still getting hella stims, and a ledx every 3-4 runs

[still berry]

idk im just testing it on practise raid and only got 1 stim spawn from like 4 runs

might just be a bug from practise raid

no clue tho

[unreal horizon]

could be, offline always has less loot

[still berry]

What part do you camp

i see people do all sorts of spots

[unreal horizon]

one of these depending on weapon/mood

camping IC and shoreline is more fun though but d2 always provides

[quiet horizon]

so you are what people refer to as "rat"?

[unreal horizon]

im something of a

[quiet horizon]

respectable

[austere current]

guys, what do i keep in beta pouch?

[quiet horizon]

[bronze vine]

I'm new to tarkov and i wanted to know if anyone had time to stop and help me out

texting me is cool too

[devout token]

any tips on improving scav rep, when io first got the game i killed anything i saw a scav

[unreal horizon]

car and co op exits give a good amount

[still berry]

What servers

[bronze vine]

naeast

[devout token]

thx

[still berry]

What do you need help with

[bronze vine]

well i had just got the game today and i really just wanted tips if thats possible

[unreal horizon]

you're gonna wanna start with your beginner tasks on Ground Zero, you can use the wiki it has really good guides for where to go and what to do

pretty much focus tasks to level up fast, and use your scav for money when you get low

you can also use offline mode to learn the maps and quest locations without the risk of losing anything

mapgenie and the wiki are your best friends while you learn

[devout token]

where is a good place to find jack daniles

[whole thistle]

just do the entire lightkeeper questline then snipe from his island

[bright arrow]

did they nerf scav rep from car extracts?

[edgy plover]

a while ago

if you're talking about when it was .4 at first

[bright arrow]

yea i remember it was 0.4

[fresh belfry]

What's the best map to kill scavs

[hoary falcon]

factory

maybe customs

maybe streets

[wet bear]

is it just me or is it a little bit early that they add the CHristmass tree in hiddeout again ?

[mellow oar]

Why does game getting server connection lost and crashing ? It just did it back to back. And I noticed it only does it when I play with friends. Anyone knows the fix ??

[dry flint]

9/10 times its an actual server problem and we can do nothing about it except pray that it fixes itself

[mellow oar]

But my friends load in and I don’t. So I restarted and try it again but again it crashes with the server connection lost error. Idk wtf is going on cuz it’s pissing me off. It only happens when I play with friends. Idk what I can do. U think it would be a lil better if I use Ethernet compared to wifi ?

[solid frigate]

BUG

[plucky tangle]

why is the slick armor so valuable i see people freak out when they find a slick 💀

[hoary falcon]

a vestige of old times

it has t6 plates now

but that's all it's good for anymore

[sly valve]

Anyone want to help me do some lighthouse runs?

[hazy veldt]

me when I only take sewer or red rebel extract 🙅

I think I haven't taken d-2 in 2 years.

[finite sinew]

if I play scav, will I train my pmc skills while playing scav?

[young beacon]

no its seperate skills on your scav

[finite sinew]

oh, so it will make my scav stronger in the other games?

[hazy veldt]

very mildly, but you don't really shouldn't play scav that much that it'd make a big difference.

maybe one day when there's no more wipes, someone will max their scav.

[soft tapir]

actually no

tapping scav heads with 50 BMG is overkill

just use ftx or whatever they are called

[hazy veldt]

I do that quest with ftx

[soft tapir]

revolver shotgun is good enough

[versed pivot]

Weird question, but could someone put the P226 Stainless Elite Wooden pistol grip, on flea???

[hazy veldt]

there's one for 2239 rubles?

[versed pivot]

Yeah I bought it

[sonic obsidian]

Currently still in the beginning-ish of the game, and stuck with a few quests that are kinda killing me. Does anyone mind helping?

[teal depot]

Which ones ? 🙂

[sonic obsidian]

Delivery from the past, Chemical Part 1, and Farming Part 3 lol

[teal depot]

Ah ok what level are you ?

[sonic obsidian]

18 lol

[teal depot]

Ah

[sonic obsidian]

Yeahhh

[tacit cosmos]

I have a question for more experienced players: would you say the game gets 'more fun' after 1k+ hours?

[tidal lagoon]

fun as in you shit on people more yea

but there is always something fun about being new and not knowing how stuff works

[woeful spruce]

Yea, ive never had more fun in this game than in my first 300hrs

[tacit cosmos]

Yeah thats fair. Currently sitting at 400 so I will def need some more hours

[tidal lagoon]

i wish i could go back to being new at the same time id rather keep my knowledge and not get shit on

[tacit cosmos]

For me after 300 hours I felt way more comfortable in pvp

[woeful spruce]

Despite being constantly shit on youre improving, learning and discovering, thats super fun for the human brain

[tidal lagoon]

and when ure new everything is worth more

ur first time finding a bitcoin is different from your hundreth

[tacit cosmos]

I guess thats fair, works both ways

[coral turtle]

Depends

Depends what's fun for you and what you enjoy doing.
Having more experience allows you to progress quicker and lets you do whatever you want

Rather than being stuck on quests or whatnot, you can quickly get the things you want and then have fun.
Personally, I'm not the type to run "giga chad" gear unless I'm really high level and late into the wipe, but usually once I get to lvl 25-30 or have a good chunk of money, I can start doing what I like

And I focus way less on quests

Just ... use whatever gun you want, silly kits, etc.

[austere current]

any1 doing health care part 5?

[tacit cosmos]

Thats what I was thinking about. Why grind quests after reaching max traders? Feels a bit weird for me? Just to unlock a few extra's?

[tidal lagoon]

u get kappa and unlock more things to buy from traders

[tacit cosmos]

For example? 😅

[tidal lagoon]

well if u do quests from lightkeeper for example u can unlock this mask which is lvl 4 so basically one of the best head protections if not the best in the game

can also get better ammo like sp-6 for 9x39 and m61 craft for 762 nato which are both insanely good ammos

[coral turtle]

WAIT IT'S LEVEL4 ?

[tidal lagoon]

yes

and best material

[coral turtle]

I wasn't even getting to max traders, just ... whatever I wanted and didn't bother much after that, just slowly dong quests I felt like or if I really wanted an item which that quest unlocked

Holy crap this thing is good

When tf did they add this ?

[tidal lagoon]

this patch

[coral turtle]

Ah

Makes sense why I haven't seen it

[tidal lagoon]

its behind a long series of quests

but when u unlock it it only costs 80k

[coral turtle]

Bleh, I'll stick to my green shemag then xD

[austere current]

what is up with server today? 6min waiting for players

[tacit cosmos]

Ahh yeah. Lightkeeper will probably be out of my reach for a while hahaha

[austere current]

people dont play anymore? 😂

[tacit cosmos]

Thanks for elaborating

[coral turtle]

Green Shemag.
lvl 0 uniform
DVL

Great combo for Woods

[tidal lagoon]

likely yes but ye i mean thats more like the super good unlocks

[coral turtle]

Hey, if you ever need somebody to do some raids with, hit me up.
I haven't played this wipe yet, except ... 2 pmc raids and 2 or 3 scav raids ...

[tidal lagoon]

there is other unlocks but i just cant think of them of the top of my head

[tacit cosmos]

Appreciate the offer. This is my second wipe and currently at level 40

[coral turtle]

Oh ... then wtf is up with these beginner questions my friend ? 😆

I thought you were some lvl10-20 who's starting out

No offense

[tacit cosmos]

Just trying to understand more about the game everyday 🙂 And I still consider myself a novice though

[coral turtle]

How many hours do you have ?

[tacit cosmos]

400

[coral turtle]

Damn

400 hours
2 wipes
lvl 40 on 2nd wipe

[tacit cosmos]

I think 75h this wipe though

[coral turtle]

You're moving fast !

[pure compass]

i got like 450 hrs and this is my first wipe so far at lvl 41 im getting tired of doing tasks i wanna pvp lmao

[coral turtle]

Then stop doing tasks ...

[tacit cosmos]

Ah thats good to hear! My problem is when at work (currently) I want to play Tarkov but when I get home I feel hesitant to play lol

[coral turtle]

It's that easy, just stop doing them

[pure compass]

have been havent came across shit

[coral turtle]

You haven't come across people to PvP with ?

[pure compass]

last good pvp fight i had was on streets and someone else in another call ran into our group shit was pretty fun

[tidal lagoon]

pvp in tarkov is 99% lame af

[coral turtle]

Try some other maps

[pure compass]

i went kitted into ground zero twice since i just got home and istg there no was no other shots besides me and my friend killing scavs

[coral turtle]

Go Reserve

It's great for PvP, or Woods if you're into it

[pure compass]

yea pvp down in bunker is pretty thrilling

and then i fw pvp in resort on shoreline and just looting

[coral turtle]

I'm not a fan of Resort pvp

[pure compass]

me and 2 other friends ran a resort raid while i still had the task to kill scavs with the untar armor on and we got dogged on by lvndmark

[coral turtle]

😂

[pure compass]

bro i got clipped and we're in his video

[coral turtle]

Was it funny at least ?

[pure compass]

damn right bc our first instinct is to say "yea hes cheating" lmao

[coral turtle]

🤣

[pure compass]

all of a sudden it pulls up who killed me and it just says "TonysPizzaCEO"

[coral turtle]

And then it all made sense

[pure compass]

https://clips.twitch.tv/RefinedObliviousAirGuitarKappaWealth-rLM_eNxGZjRZia6e

this should be the clip right here lmao

[austere current]

just done a task on reserve and i got this '' Object reference not set to an instance of an object ''

[soft tapir]

damn i need an fir ledx

[dry flint]

spam woods usec camp for a high chance to get it, or shoreline for multiple ledx spawns

[soft tapir]

oh ok

[astral glen]

Just close your console, it's a unity error because of culling

The Lab is the best for a LEDX, obviously you might struggle if you have a weak mindset

Woods and Shoreline are good alternatives for it but will take you longer

[soft tapir]

[austere current]

any1 doing these?

[inner sinew]

And med camp too there’s tons of spawns in there

[inner sinew]

I’m doing some of those if you want to run some later

[austere current]

ok sure

[inner sinew]

I’m busy for a while but dm me and we can see if we can link up

[austere current]

i dont play street so a bit confused with the map kekw

[inner sinew]

Yeah it’s a big ass map lmao, I don’t know it by heart but I can get through for the most part lol

[short bay]

Hello everyone

[blissful storm]

hi!

[short bay]

Spawned as a Scav on Ground Zero, with Terra Labs key in inevntory

extracted immediately, is this a lucky draw?

my guess is that it's for the separate map access?

[undone drum]

yeah, its for a map called the lab

I have a 27% survival rate after 18 raids fml lol

[short bay]

gonna save that one for rainy daiys def

[astral glen]

Depends which trade you're on about

[undone drum]

or just sell to therapist

[astral glen]

The 180K one, no.
The barter, yes

[short bay]

i'm new and level 5, so yeah might save just to see whats it all about

[astral glen]

because there is no limit

and not enough to go around

[undone drum]

sure, labs is a hell of expirience 🙂

[bold roost]

hey, isn't handing in "Big customer" supposed to fail the other quests and give minus rep for therapist and skier?

I handed mine in and read that it's supposed to give quests for the others to help you replace the lost rep, but I didn't lose any rep and neither did I get the quests

[astral glen]

It's a known bug right now

[bold roost]

oh, does it stop me from progressing?

like do the replacement quests matter?

[astral glen]

No they are just tasks to regain the lost reputation

[short bay]

does quest completion and progress and items i get only work if PMC did it, not scav?

[bold roost]

ah great! less work for me hahahah

[short bay]

btw i cant believe pistols can be really that good if i am caught unawares, bam bam headshot

[astral glen]

It depends, if the quest is like "Find and handover 2 found in raid Gas Analyser", then yes you can find these items as a scav

[short bay]

thx

[astral glen]

Anything else must be done as a PMC

[bold roost]

wait I didn't get the quest "Safe corridor"

[short bay]

also, do all PMCs spawn at the same time?

[astral glen]

Are you level 15?

[astral glen]

Yes

[bold roost]

yes level 30

[astral glen]

Restart your game

[short bay]

I spawned at terra group parking and someone already got the science key and was upstairs

that was a wow moment

[astral glen]

There is a spawn inside the terragroup building like less than 10 metres from the key

[short bay]

just my luck...that was the pistol guy...

[bold roost]

Already did, doesn't appear like I'll get it then lmao

[astral glen]

Open a support ticket via the website if you don't get the task

[blissful storm]

just dropped into a scav raid on factory and i was in there for like 10 minutes and didnt see any PMC

is this normal?

[unreal horizon]

Yes

[blissful storm]

how odd

[astral glen]

why is that odd?

[blissful storm]

I had no idea it was normal, is all. I assumed if you dropped into any raid as a scav you'd be fighting off PMC's like in ground zero or any other map

im very new to this

[astral glen]

As a scav you don't spawn in at the start of the raid

[unreal horizon]

Factory is a bit different

[astral glen]

If you matched into a location, there is at least one PMC left on that location

[sharp socket]

Streets of Tarkov would like to disagree

[astral glen]

But he could have extracted before you finished loading in

Or you just didn't find him

[unreal horizon]

The only req for a pscav to spawn is that 1 pmc is in the raid, but in factory they're prob gone before you load

[blissful storm]

factory is so small im surprised i didnt find them

[astral glen]

I know you're just making a joke about how fast they can spawn in but let's not confuse a new player
