[sharp socket]

Personally I can’t stand GZ, kollontay or his guards can spawn facing you if your unlucky and you can also just spawn in the same building as other players

It’s just way too condensed of spawns imo

[whole thistle]

those 2000000000 shoreline quests in a row are objectively the worst part of the game

[formal copper]

me when i spawn in factory to get head jaws by tagilla

[sharp socket]

I don’t mind them at all, I love the map

[formal copper]

less then 2 seconds in

tagilla busts my ass

[whole thistle]

another man's treasure

[sharp socket]

There is the spawns in the building with the GL, I have before spawned second floor in the meeting and someone first floor at the front, like I spawned in basically above the guy aimed at the back of his head

[sharp socket]

Big backpack, mule, keys and I be grabbing that resort treasure while I do his stupid marking task errands

Idk, it’s just a map I haven’t really spent time on for like 2 months

The only maps I have been on recently are factory, streets and inter

And that’s cause streets is free money, factory is free KD farming and well I gotta beat killa for his lunch money and shirt tatters to give to ragman 11 more times

[junior nest]

with this task i cant use crafted flash drives right

[tidal lagoon]

u can

all crafted items are FIR

[junior nest]

oh sick

o 34h craft is not sick

[whole thistle]

itll still be faster than finding them lol

[junior nest]

yea def

[whole thistle]

theres also some jaeger task that rewards a few

[sharp socket]

Yeah that’s the reason I have been going, I have 39/50 for tracksuit

[bold kernel]

@proper sphinx LFG vc? lets play

[sharp socket]

Nikita said if you get master of ultra achievement once a patch sometime in October hits you will get tracksuit as an Auto Unlock so Lowkey might go for it just to not have to deal with the grind for it again

Damn, skipping the grind

Clearly, your brother is nuts to grind 50 killa kills and then just hand it over lmao

[formal copper]

leg meta go funny

[sharp socket]

I’m just doing it because it’s the last on my checklist this wipe

[tidal lagoon]

so u only have to grind 100 kills and u get perma tracksuit?

[sharp socket]

I have kappa, usec pred and mk18 so tracksuit is the last goal

[formal copper]

or sometimes, tagilla starts bugging like crazy and starts moonwalking

[sharp socket]

Correct, no insta tracksuit this August wipe but once whatever that unnamed October patch hits it will happen yeah

[tidal lagoon]

did he say anything bout pred suit

[formal copper]

another option is catching him off guard and headshot him on the back

[sharp socket]

No unfortunately, which blows

[tidal lagoon]

gg will just have to grind it every wipe

[sharp socket]

Oh like multiple people on one account?

[sharp socket]

We pray otherwise

[junior nest]

ill just stick to an extremely ugly raincoat

[sharp socket]

If your tryna tie it to an achievement like for tracksuit just put in what I suggested like a year ago, an achievement for completing all tasks for a given trader

[graceful osprey]

nah pay 12 bucks and get this cool bear outfit

[sharp socket]

Overseas is the last task for LK so

Oh neat

[junior nest]

i play usec

[sharp socket]

Less drip

[junior nest]

i really just want chameleon

[graceful osprey]

Oof. make the swap today

[sharp socket]

Bear gets lynx, no contest

[junior nest]

bear has no scav clothes so nty

[tidal lagoon]

pro trip tho, dont say in official tarkov discord u do stuff against tos

like im not sayin i care, im just like sayin u might get yeeted outta here which would be unlucky

im jsut tryna save u

[sharp socket]

Yeah no account sharing, ion know why I missed that

[tidal lagoon]

nah he was like just making up a story tho lowkey

[sharp socket]

Aight

[tidal lagoon]

yea

like u cant spawn with anything when it comes to gear

ure not gonna get like t6 armor at anytime, highest is tier 5

scavs can spawn with m855a1 for 556 tho for example

quite rare tho

[junior nest]

is there a way to tell which of these scope mounts can be used with the tac30?

[tidal lagoon]

tac30 uses 30mm rings

[topaz forge]

anything that says 30mm

[junior nest]

oh that makes

ty lol

im just worried if i do a linked search, i might find stuff not compatible with my mosin rail

oh nvm it works fine ty

time to go sniping

[tidal lagoon]

ok

so that is extremely suboptimal

[junior nest]

exactly

[topaz forge]

nah looks fine to me!

[tidal lagoon]

fucking fair enough

[topaz forge]

i remember worrun using that shit for sniping quests

so funny

[junior nest]

i killed someone in factory that had this but with a red dot

idk

they had bt rounds in it though so id assume it was just for fun

[fossil crater]

its raid only this wipe yeah

if you learn how to kill zryachi and cross the mines you can farm free BS off of him though

or get lucky with kaban and get 3 boxes of em

hes got a whole range from lps to bs i think

i might be wrong on the bs part though

eitherway the ammo he uses doesnt have trouble shredding anything

both of his machine gun spawns include bs, its just very rare

ive mostly gotten lps and bt from him

[junior nest]

no wonder he always seems to 1 tap

[red spire]

question where would i find a pestily mask easy loot wise ?

[dry flint]

Kill scavs. That is the best way. Looting from containers is possible but the lootpool is too vast to rely just on it

[red spire]

ye sadly i havent had that luck yet 400 scavs deep atm for last item for kappa havent found one yet in the last 2 weeks doing scav case as well

[dry flint]

Oh, must be the quest curse. Whenever you need 1 last item, it suddenly becomes 10x harder to find it

[red spire]

indeed its being a pain in my but for the moment

[junior nest]

have you tried hitting up factory

[red spire]

i have scav wise + pmc wise

[junior nest]

strange

[red spire]

found 3 led x in 1 run withouth a problem but a stupid mask hell no

[junior nest]

will rogues attempt to shoot you on lighthouse as a scav even if you have 6.0 rep

[thick cape]

@granite cargo btw if you need any help or advice or anything, here or #beginners-chat is a good place to ask for newbies

[granite cargo]

tyty ❤️

[thick cape]

[dry flint]

You can enter the compound without rogues shooting you, but once you kill one. All of them will be hostile to you. If you go up to a single rouge and somehow managed to get away. only that rouge will be hostile to you, same goes with roof rouges.

[junior nest]

gotcha

and you dont lose scav rep right

[dry flint]

Dont go in directly from the turret rouges, they will aggro to you if you go in from their location. Yes you dont lose scav rep

[junior nest]

sweet

[rotund leaf]

Got bs off him during reserve event he do have it

[zenith island]

how many gpu s dose bit coin farm L2 take

[dry flint]

25, lvl 3 takes 50

[zenith island]

ok thanks

[junior nest]

what scope is on this?

[red spire]

flir thermal

[junior nest]

ah gotcha

[dry flint]

Lucky bastard

[junior nest]

6 rep moment

[zenith island]

nice

[junior nest]

time to insta extact lol

[red spire]

8.9 atm for me legit willing to risk it all if i see my pestily mask xp

[junior nest]

does scav loot quality increase beyond 6?

[red spire]

not that i know of

[junior nest]

atleast you get a free scav kill tho

[rotund leaf]

I’ve got 3 flirs on the vpo as a scav and im not 6

[junior nest]

sucks that they are banned from flea

[rotund leaf]

not really just get jaeger lvl 4

[red spire]

that still makes them banned from flea xp

[rotund leaf]

ik im just saying go for j4

would be nice early wipe tho

if u could

[red spire]

not really thermal would get hella cheap

they had this wipe 1-2

[rotund leaf]

nah woods early wipe with a flir ur chilling

[red spire]

rater have a razer or vudu

rather *

[oak ginkgo]

would someone know the sight for mdr where its like a reflex sight then you can swap to liek a 3-4x its tan and i cant find it lol

[rotund leaf]

bravo

[oak ginkgo]

does it need a specific mount?

[rotund leaf]

no it’s a 4x but u can put a reflex sight on top

[oak ginkgo]

oh I found the one I meant the eotech hss 1 damn my eyes are so broken lol

ill look at the bravo too though

[rotund leaf]

the hhs1 3x I can’t use it

[rotund leaf]

ok kid

[rotund leaf]

if u like sights like that the hamr isn’t bad too

[oak ginkgo]

im just used to it is all, the hss 1 anyway its handy to have that lil zoom option

[mellow burrow]

What all are the differences between the lobev and night force mount. Can anyone tell me ?

[rotund leaf]

Its preference I think

[astral glen]

The scope is mounted in different positions

[rotund leaf]

that too ^

[astral glen]

It’s slightly different, especially with those two

[mellow burrow]

Okay, I know like the one has a riser and one is flush with the gun. But I didn’t know if it effected recoil or anything

[astral glen]

It doesn’t

[mellow burrow]

Okay cool

Thank you guys

[dry flint]

Shitty reminder to always have helmets on

[paper patrol]

is it beacuse it was a run through

[cinder field]

yes

One scav kill and loot one item out of his pockets after searching him

This should be enough xp to not get a ran thorugh afaik

@paper patrol

[fossil crater]

or stay in the raid for 7 minutes, long enough to get enough xp to just leave

[cinder field]

or that

[paper patrol]

do i need to dehydrate myself again

[cinder field]

idk tbh

I always completed it in one raid lol

[dark trail]

Prob not

[fossil crater]

i dont think you do

[cinder field]

did my quests and then ate some mayo while beaing near an extract

[fossil crater]

since it didnt reset the first part of the task

[paper patrol]

true

thank you everyone

[fossil crater]

unless it resets it when you go back in

eitherway its an easy quest, itll get done one way or the other

[warm lily]

wheres the best place to find secure flash drives? ive had the quest to find 2 of them for ages and havent come across one

[unreal horizon]

safes

if you can buy keys go dorms, if not maybe shoreline?

[warm lily]

alright, thanks

[topaz forge]

only if you die

[red spire]

you could also try filing cabinets on reserve

[lusty raptor]

can you sell thicc weapon cases on the market? I have 8 bitcoins saved up and 3 thicc weapon cases but I want a thicc item case. The only way to get it it seems is to buy 50 moonshine, 50 vodka, and 30 whiskey

[tidal lagoon]

no

[lusty raptor]

so i need to sell btcs to therapist and then just buy that booze off the flea i guess

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[lean terrace]

I didn't die but thank god for keys spawning lmao, first BTC after 170 hours.

[unreal horizon]

oh my sigma scavenging

[junior nest]

Speaking of the moonshines, why are they so expensive

[unreal horizon]

scav case

and barters

[junior nest]

Needing 50 is just insanity

That's like 19 mil just from moonshine alone

[tidal lagoon]

its thicc items case barter

[junior nest]

I guess it is a pretty big case

And you can't put item cases/weapon cases in there right

[tidal lagoon]

cant store these items

i think putting cases inside cases is suboptimal tho

except for ammo case

[ruby summit]

can you do grenadier with grenade launchers ?

[tidal lagoon]

no

[modest torrent]

anyone down to play pve im new to game just trying to have fun and do some quests

[modest gyro]

any tips to improve fps ?

[unreal horizon]

tarkov fps guide

[tidal lagoon]

upgrade pc

then realize the game is fucked up and ur fps will probably be mid forever in this game

[modest gyro]

lol

its so laggy when i stop running but i've tried to fix it nothing has worked yet

[elfin elm]

Are you playing streets?

[modest gyro]

i tried once but i also did like a test server

practice ***

[outer vector]

do bosses also fight scavs in scav war mode?

[dense pewter]

If you are not max reputation with fence the bosses will kill you if you are a scav.

[unreal horizon]

i'd assume so

[olive marlin]

whats the best way to learn maps quick

[unreal horizon]

Offline mode w mapgenie or wiki maps

[runic verge]

What steps can I take to not run into people I genuinely cannot kill? I have tons of customs quests but cant do any because i am repeatedly killed by level 40 pmcs that i cannot damage because my rounds cannot pierce jack shit

[night junco]

look at a map that shows spawns, route to avoid people, maybe do a night raid

[runic verge]

How do I deal with dorms? I have to go to room 205 for a key but I can’t get out without being blown up by some twat with a tier 6 face shield and an rpk

[unreal horizon]

if you really dont wanna fight ppl just wait a few mins

most people are only hitting marked and rarely the safe rooms

[runic verge]

Its more of an incapable of fighting as opposed to dont want to

[unreal horizon]

ig just avoid fights until lvl 23 and m80

[runic verge]

iirc us gs only pens high up to tier 2 so anyone who has a plate unless i one tap to the head or somehow find an armour gap, new armour system fucks with that thi

[runic verge]

What does level 23 specifically do?

[unreal horizon]

pk 3

for m80 and some other ammos

[inner cradle]

how can i check my stash value?

[unreal horizon]

overall tab, left side iirc

[nocturne moat]

do i still need eod to play pve or is it open for all now

[tidal lagoon]

eod or unheard

[olive marlin]

anyone wanna tun reserve with me lf pvp/looting lv 15

[summer summit]

are there any active codes?

[topaz forge]

??codes

[red thistle]

Codes from the Tarkov TV podcast have expired, gotta be faster next time

[junior nest]

is there any way at all to get a thicc item/weapons case without ll4

[topaz forge]

no

[junior nest]

lame

[granite pike]

cant interact with this

It's just stuck in the door

man :(

[granite pike]

aaand I got blitzed by a lvl 53 d2 camper bruh

bro turned me into minced meat wtf

[main rover]

what injectors are best to keep for loot running and why?

[full quartz]

propitol, bleed stops, and mule/sj6 🙂

just standard stims that one should always carry

perfortorin i prefer eith etg

[burnt zealot]

For me it's adrenalin, propital, morphine, SJ6 and trimadol

[mint light]

wtf

[undone drum]

Just quest later in raid, after 25 min chads usually extracts

[round orchid]

is there anyone who wants to help me do some tasks, im somewhat new, kinda know what im doing lvl8

[still bone]

EU servers ya its pretty full with juiced ppl just go for headshots if u dont have good ammo

i went to dorms with 5.45 SP and clapped 3 fully juiced dudes just to get vietnam'd right outside

fight a lot die a lot youll get used to it

youre not playing alone you can flank and put pressure on them from multiple angles and with some decent movement you can run around the rooms without getting shot to see where they are

grenades are also good

[indigo leaf]

Is that total play time or this Wipe?

[undone drum]

Do you encounter people late in raid too? Like after 25 min raid time?

Customs is full of PvP only players and chokepoints.
I would say, stay away from gunshots, high loot areas like dorms, fortress, ruaf.
After 25 minutes usually mostly player scavs roam around

I love to sneak around and usually I dont kill scavs so that PvPers dont hear my shots

I never stay longer then 1 min where I shot, I always try to move after a fight

Another good tip is raid tim: safest time to go in to do quests is 20-21 raid start time.
When its bright but getting dark slowly.
Chads extract early, since they didnt bring nvg, players scavs usually dont like to play in the dark

[latent wasp]

why wont this turn into gunsmith part 3

[astral glen]

It does not fit the specifications for the task

This is the build the wiki uses, make yours match it

[latent wasp]

i forgot to put back on the rear sight

[junior nest]

Stock is different too

[latent wasp]

it still works

[junior nest]

Oh sweet

I'd assume so since they're linked now

@humble otterabove dis

[humble otter]

mhm, not gonna lie was kinda hoping for PVE cuz I just can't be bothered with pvp this wipe you new to the game? ever considered playing pve to get used to the game before wipe?

[open merlin]

i can do pve

idc im the same lv either way

lv 9

[humble otter]

[inner cradle]

hey guys i have a problem i wanna play tarkov but if i load in im stuck in the loading screen for 10 minutes it just says loading loot can maybe someoene help me?

[junior nest]

How many GB of ram do you have

@inner cradle

[inner cradle]

16gb

[junior nest]

And what map are you trying to load

[inner cradle]

customs factory

[junior nest]

Huh strange

Those and ground zero are basically the only maps you can play on with 16gb

Weird that they are giving issues too

[inner cradle]

its my friend pc i have 16gb ram and i can play streets and every map no problem

he has good pc asw but it just take time and then his game crashes sometimes

[junior nest]

Yeah lots of maps can use over 20gb of ram

So if you don't have enough it'll either give you a server error, crash, or run extremely slow (especially looking down an optic)

[lusty raptor]

how does one get enchants on their items

I just repaired it with a repair kit and lost the enchant

i got it off a lvl 75 with 10k hours and 50 million XP on a white account

[small idol]

u get high repair skill

[unkempt egret]

10+ repair skill iirc, at least for weapons.

[formal copper]

this is my first scav case ever, its safe to assume its never happening again right ?

[lusty raptor]

which payment did you use?

[formal copper]

intel

[lusty raptor]

is that a 10 use key? dank af

[formal copper]

yea

its 6.5mil on the fle

i might just use it tbh

[lusty raptor]

I'd just use it

[formal copper]

plus i can buy the two others key and get dorms

[lusty raptor]

will continue to drop in price most likely. i always avoided marked rooms because I figured I'd die. survived 3/3 runs so far

i've never gotten a keycard besides blue because i just don't check marked rooms. but its just a game gatta take dem risks

use it!

[formal copper]

im gonna get green 🗣️ 🔥

i manifest a green keycard

no gif

[lusty raptor]

better get it inside your rektum quick

[formal copper]

i have the big rectum, ill be fine

[lusty raptor]

lol i just got a yellow keycard

but then i heard 2 chads sprinting to me and they opened a door and prefired me

if you get good stuff you get hunted by ESP hackers

[ruby summit]

For Test-drive part 1, you just need the suppressor and the scope, you don't need the archangel chassis, correct ?

[lusty raptor]

longest labs run yet.

[lusty raptor]

Shadun's hideout key dank

[formal brook]

can someone help me with a problem

[lusty raptor]

first Shadun hideout key use

[violet island]

can someone help me with this? i cannot download the game

[small idol]

U have to download it from the live distribution server

And manually install

[lusty raptor]

close the launcher and relaunch it

[formal copper]

whos shadun

[small idol]

Shadun Deez nuts

Sorry I had too

[lusty raptor]

the Arena key

do red flares not work on Ground Zero? this is the 2nd one i've fired, gotten no congestion, never comes

[junior nest]

only works on the lvl 21+ map

dunno why thats a thing

[formal copper]

ew arena

[lusty raptor]

well I'm on a scav, and im lvl 43, so I assume i load into the higher map

[junior nest]

is your scav lvl 43 tho

strange there doesnt seem to be documentation on how player scavs are decided with ground zero

did it say you are in higher match queue when you queued in with scav?

[surreal sky]

can anyone tell me why my freelook isnt smooth? and feels like stuttering
is it cause of the thermal googles??
in the raid before it worked perfectly fine

(im moving my mouse full strength)

[small idol]

Take it back rn

[junior nest]

does it take longer for the game to go back to the menu after a raid depending on how full an inventory is

ive been stuck at like 3min load times back to the menu today for some reason

[river rampart]

reboot your pc and try again

@small idol Do not link to the full game for simple problems

[lusty raptor]

how much is this worth if it's 200/200 lvl 6? nothing on flea

[bright hawk]

nope scavs al;ways load into the lower level matches im pretty sure

[bright hawk]

take plates out and sell the rig slicks suck

[topaz forge]

nah slick good after the rework

[mental adder]

Have a buddy sitting at 0% on the download… anyone have any workarounds to this… so far he has tried wired and WiFi.

[bright hawk]

is it i havent used it this whole wipe cus of the changes

it still doesnt cover stomach tho? correct me if im wrong

[topaz forge]

yea the latest rework made it good

the plate hitbox is the same for everything now

[bright hawk]

i thought the rework just fixed getting throat shot armpit etc

[topaz forge]

so plates that dont cover groin leave the stomach exposed

[bright hawk]

that makes no sense to me but im probably just understanding it wrong

[topaz forge]

ok so every chest plate has the exact same hitbox now, that does not cover most of the stomach

to cover the stomach with a plate you need armor with a slot another plate type that covers that area

slick soft armor doesnt cover stomach but atp in the wipe that doesnt matter because most people will pen it regardless

[tidal lagoon]

stomach cover isnt really important tho

[topaz forge]

https://vxtwitter.com/nikgeneburn/status/1800166205325730132

[topaz forge]

id argue otherwise, stomach overflow damage modifier is 1.5x, if someone blacks your stomach and continues shooting it you take 50% extra damage

[bright hawk]

preciate it

[tidal lagoon]

no, its 1.05x now

[topaz forge]

oh ok they changed that

[tidal lagoon]

holdup1 sec

ye

ye people malded about it so it got changed

[topaz forge]

last i played it was 1.5x which was significant enough to where magnum buckshot could 1shot u lol

thats a good change

[tidal lagoon]

it still more than other body parts, like arms are 0.49x and legs 0.7x

[topaz forge]

oh those changed too

[tidal lagoon]

ye

[topaz forge]

arms were 0.75 and legs 1.0

also a good change

[tidal lagoon]

ye so slick is pretty strong now

cuz the soft armor on slick follows the plate hitboxes

just missing sides

[topaz forge]

ye

[high ravine]

how rare is this

should I keep it?

[small idol]

reserve marked room key, go run it or sell for a few m

[high ravine]

thanks

[junior nest]

that key can be put in a s i c c right

[violet island]

can someone tell me like top 5 weapons? in tarkov

[junior nest]

toz S tier

[bright hawk]

any key can

[junior nest]

not rusted bloody key

[bright hawk]

okay besides the one niche key sorry

[bright hawk]

whatever your good with tbh

308 is the best round this wipe rn IMO if you wanna use a black mdr sa58 etc and like HK416 for 5.56 for recoil or m4 for more ergo

[undone drum]

Do you have a meta build for HK416 recoil focused?

[bright hawk]

nope just look up a yt video

[undone drum]

What do you consider good recoil stat for HK416?

[unreal horizon]

um actually the evo ergo on a recoil hk is suboptimal 🤓

[mint light]

jesus

[tidal lagoon]

just go part for part in edit preset and choose the lowest or nearly lowest recoil parts available

[unreal horizon]

thinkers

[undone drum]

i have built enough HKs

[undone drum]

for me to built HK-416 for recoil sounds kinda ridiculous. thats why i am asking

Sounds like a person, who have never tried to built lovest recoil hk-416 built

[unreal horizon]

I mean I used to run that shit all the time it's awesome

Cause like I'm not gonna ads with an hk anyway

[tidal lagoon]

i mean this wipe ig yea

still need some recoil reduction tho cant go pure ergo

[undone drum]

i see, makes sense. how is it now? they nerfed hipfire a bit, i heard. just couple of days ago?

[unreal horizon]

I've been using hk in arena and it's balanced vert/ergo, and don't really have issues point firing anything inside 20-30m

So I'd imagine full vert is about the same

[undone drum]

i see

[mint light]

how did u charisma speech check this dude

[unreal horizon]

ez

[undone drum]

arguments

guy gave me some good arguments

[undone flare]

What is the best way to kill shturman?
For now, im thinking>
Night raid with thermal, sr25/spear
Still carry NVGs of course

does he still fire 3 shots at the beggining of every round, even if its night raid?

[mint light]

usually i go to sawmill and shoot him

[undone flare]

So if i dont hear an SVD in the first 5 mins i can just go extract right?

[undone flare]

top tier advice, thanks man

[unreal horizon]

alternatively you could walk up and click on his face

you're overthinking heavy

[undone flare]

im not overthinking heavy, i want to unlock the mk18 this wipe so i want to optimze this you know

[unreal horizon]

if you wanna optimize load in, sj6 to sawmill, dc if he isnt there

[undone flare]

how about you clowns answer my questions, especially this one cuz i have not heard his start of round shots for a while now

[mint light]

yeah u dont need to minmax an ai with no armor

[unreal horizon]

real

[mint light]

u can use any gun

[small idol]

just sprint to the middle of sawmill if hes there shoot him if not reset

[mint light]

dont worry about going night or dying

night time is gonna be shit

[undone flare]

alright why would night time be shit

[small idol]

poor visibility mainly

u can do it nighttime if u want but like its just gonna be really dark lol

[junior nest]

thats what nvg is for

[mint light]

cheaters and other ppl with same thought process

which is night=less people

[small idol]

but then everythings really green

[undone flare]

thats why i said i would go with a thermal

[junior nest]

are you scared of green

[mint light]

and then they try to farm shturman too

[small idol]

thermals are aids to see and fire through, easier just to see him and kill him with a real scope imo

[junior nest]

just run the white ones then

[small idol]

yea

[junior nest]

only 17mil no problem

[small idol]

then u cant run a sight :/

[mint light]

ive played like 4 night raids in eft

in 2.5k hour

[unreal horizon]

atp in wipe everyone on night woods is there for shtur, you'll be better going day

[junior nest]

i exclusively do night raids for fetch quests

[mint light]

i can tell

[junior nest]

cuz almost never encounter anyone

[small idol]

night raids are just boring

[junior nest]

ya, so are quests in general

[small idol]

i alr struggle to find moving players during day time they dont exist during the night

[undone flare]

wow i love this chat, i not only did not get my question answered, advice given, but also just scolded and told to git gud wow

[unreal horizon]

no one cares get lost

[small idol]

i mean i thought i did a pretty good job explaining what to do

[unreal horizon]

no real person is this unreceptive

[small idol]

run to sawmill with a normal gun during the day see shturman shoot him in the face reset

[unreal horizon]

🤯

[small idol]

hes like the easiest boss next to tagilla and reshala

[undone flare]

actual diabolical behavior, im sure the newbies that come to this chat that chose to buy tarkov instead of playing that chinese copy of it wont regret their decision when they discover you creatures

[junior nest]

tagilla sux to deal with sometimes though

[undone flare]

I understand that, but to kill him 20 times is a mental game you know

[junior nest]

man will come out from a corner right in ur face when you least expect it

[small idol]

yea the quest is aids, just gotta spam raids tho same as if u were farming tracksuit

disconnect between raids if u really wanna min max

[undone flare]

and i dont want to lose gear 20 times, i want it to be efficient. SO ill ignore the pro gamer ideologies given by these pro gamers and go nightraid with thermals to kill shturman.

[small idol]

aight have fun with that

[unreal horizon]

i mean if thats what you mean by efficiency sure

[junior nest]

efficient by having 2x queue times

[unreal horizon]

when most ppl talk about boss farming efficiently they mean kills/hour

so obv you're just f1 extracting after boss doesnt spawn

[small idol]

farming shturman with a thermal sounds like aids to me but whatever floats ur boat ig

[junior nest]

do the spawn rates differ on different times of the day

[small idol]

not directly

[junior nest]

or is that only cultists

[small idol]

cultists only spawn at night

[junior nest]

gotcha

i swear night factory cultists are a myth

[small idol]

only reason they could be a bit different is due to players in the server being a factor of the boss spawnrate

[junior nest]

less players = less boss spawn?

[small idol]

but its pretty wonky and bsg hasnt given the clear formula for boss spawns

[small idol]

something like that, per some bsg intermediary

[junior nest]

interesting

[small idol]

its pretty wonky but u certainly notice it if u try farming bosses on dead servers

[unreal horizon]

i mean dont we literally have the rates datamined?

[mint light]

shit is braindead. “hey guys how do i do this” “ok i dont like ur advice im gonna keep doing what im doing”

everytime.

[devout star]

How does one not burst into tears after getting sniped by sniper scav with a crazy amount of shit on me

[unreal horizon]

i usually click on the sniper scav so he stops shooting

[small idol]

we do have the rates datamined but the rates only are applied in full in a standard lobby if i understand correctly

[devout star]

I was kinda looting a body and forgor

Then poof

[small idol]

so playing a dead server where ur the only person in it is going to have a significantly lower chance for the boss to spawn

[unreal horizon]

source?

[junior nest]

me

[small idol]

that and faster q times is generally why ppl farm killa on active servers

[small idol]

some guy in the bsg insider group

no solid documentation of it

[mint light]

the spawn rate has to be 45% of servers i swear

[unreal horizon]

so real

[dark trail]

ur at concordia

[violet island]

when will be wipeout?

[dark trail]

early august

[junior nest]

should be on NBC next weekend

[mint light]

how much money to stop ratting

[unreal horizon]

wipeout time

[dark trail]

0

[mint light]

how do they get past the red balls

that shit seems impossible

[small idol]

lol

so true

[upbeat elk]

i could do it ez

[junior nest]

you gotta grab the big red balls, you cant just land on em or you'll hop right off

[upbeat elk]

wrong, you just bunnyhop while strafing left and right

[junior nest]

so true

man interchange seems like such a boring map, is there any point to it other than killing killa and leaving

[small idol]

u can also get ratted on while attempting to leave kiba or loot ultramed

[junior nest]

oh yeah forgot that part

the ole interchange specialty

[small idol]

thats just the basegame specialty

the rats have become more and more prolific each year

[junior nest]

interchange extracts are particularly bad though

[small idol]

likely due to bsg making lots of the movers quit by nerfing them over and over again

[junior nest]

yeah it seems like most of the time holding W is just suicide

[small idol]

yea basically the person who moves the least is favored if they know what they are doing

stop when u hear audio, make no sound, when someone gets close swing off audio for peekers advantage and u have like a 90% chance of winning

thats just the meta

[upbeat elk]

Ehhh, yes and no. It depends a lot on the situation. There are tons of times where not moving gets you killed.

[small idol]

if u know what ur doing not moving is always on top

[upbeat elk]

false

[junior nest]

not on factory

[small idol]

just swing on audio and they cant do anything about it cuz u have peekers and they dont know u are around themn

literally impossible to fumble if u have above an 80iq

[upbeat elk]

Youre thinking if the one moving has 0 iq

And if the one swinging is on 400 ping

Also, if you just plant whenever you hear someone, most likely you're going to be in a shit position

Where swinging isnt just perfect

[small idol]

thats why they stay still until they are in a position to swing off audio. If they dont give any info away theres no way for the mover to begin prepping a peek

[junior nest]

someone could pre nade too

[small idol]

even on 60 ping peekers is significant

[upbeat elk]

If he heard me, i most likely heard him as well and will at least think "did i hear something that way?"

[upbeat elk]

Its advantageous, but not significant 😄

[small idol]

lol if they hear u u arent crabbing hard enough

[upbeat elk]

On 60 ping you might get like 1-2 shots off faster

And youre swinging, so aim is not perfect

[small idol]

thats what significant means. great enough to be accounted for...

[small idol]

huh

[upbeat elk]

0.1% advantage is still an advantage, but its not significant

[small idol]

yea id agree

[upbeat elk]

theres a difference

[topaz forge]

1-2 shots isnt 0.1% though

[small idol]

its much greater than a 0.1% advantage lol

[topaz forge]

thats a whole fight right there if u aim good

[upbeat elk]

just a random example

[small idol]

the only way a nonmover can fumble a fight is if theyve alr moved and been heard in which case i wouldnt consider them a non mover, or they dont know how to play their cards right and counterswing on audio

[junior nest]

or if they dont have enough pen

[small idol]

its like a 90/10 fight if u know what ur doing and know how to properly rat

[small idol]

eh most bullets will kill on faceshot

[upbeat elk]

Nah youre wrong on this one. Sitting still is not as good as youre thinking it is

[junior nest]

not when everyones wearing a mask

[small idol]

bro really just said nah ur wrong trust me

[upbeat elk]

Yeah well, i have some experience in fighting rats that just swing

[small idol]

same

[upbeat elk]

Labs main?

[small idol]

i do enjoy some labs

[upbeat elk]

Well, i main it

[small idol]

but i go wherever the pvp is

[junior nest]

wtf is this

[upbeat elk]

And this wipe 50% of labs was all it was. Rats swinging on you at the last second

Or holding angles

[mint light]

have yall played witcher 3

[small idol]

if ur running around labs, 0 info where anyone is and someone rounds a corner and starts spraying at you, u are not winning that fight UNLESS they fumble

like it literally doesnt get any more ideal for them than that

most of the time ur mid sprint or looking at a different area if theyve ratted properly

u just gotta hope they whiff and try to get to cover

[upbeat elk]

Most likely yes. But thats not really planting at a sound and then swinging. Thats full out ratting

[umbral star]

Yo can anyone get in a call with me and run through my stash and tell me what I should sell/keep please? would be much apppreciated cause my stash is full and im clueless

[upbeat elk]

Ratting is very strong because youre always in the perfect spot. Just planting when you hear something, is completely different and which we were talking about previously (at least i was)

[small idol]

but thats my point. if u plant at a sound and time ur swing off audio properly (without having alr given audio queues cuz that defeats the point of cutting audio) u are winning unless u somehow fumble

thats like the epitomy of ratting

[upbeat elk]

If he heard me, i probably heard him as well, if he was moving.

If he plants immediately, 90% of the time hes at a shit position, which means he cant swing perfectly. I can react to steps immediately and i dont need to hear him do a full sprint up before i react.

And if hes next to a corner, he doesnt really get peekers advantage if hes not swinging full speed

Unless he has right hand and just fast leans

[small idol]

Ur whole idea cruxes on the idea of "if he was moving" which is not at all the scenario or the archetype of player I'm describing

[upbeat elk]

That was just 1 of my points out of multiple. Read them all

[junior nest]

ur ratting wont beat an esper

is there a way to quick add an item to sorting table

[unreal horizon]

Shift click iirc

[junior nest]

ur a genius ty

[unreal horizon]

Holy I've still got it

[junior nest]

[unreal horizon]

[junior nest]

[faint canopy]

Don't worry you can actually sell the things in there

[junior nest]

Ty, I wouldn't have known otherwise

[faint canopy]

No problem I know you must've been worried to death

[glossy stag]

does anyone know if the Armband (Alpha) has any value?

[cloud mesa]

level 6

[tidal lagoon]

no its just a armband for alpha players, cant sell it on flea or anything

[junior nest]

Is that like actual alpha of the game, or some alpha edition

[topaz forge]

like the alpha versions

before the beta its in now

[junior nest]

Is that the only benefit for alpha players

[tidal lagoon]

basically

[small idol]

apparently if u reset ur account while the playtime is bugged like 54y or something u get alpha armband lol

What's an easy way to kill kabans guards I always get domed to the face or get blown up by the grenade launcher

[abstract harness]

If ur approaching from chek side throw a nade at the gunner and run into the container on the left

from the other side, also throw a nade at the gunner and you can chill in the area near the entrance of the building with valuables (forgot what it’s called)

just make sure you come from chek 15 or from the side of the cinema or you’ll get deleted

[cinder field]

Nope

Most of the doors that are usally open can be breached

Some closed doors can also be breached. Doors that you need to unlock with a key cant be breached afaik

[fossil crater]

breaching is pretty much a gimmick, you can breach unlocked doors and specific locked doors that dont have a key for them

not really usefull for fights since it locks you into that animation

[unique mantle]

the only use for breach is the ai sometimes breaches un-openable doors

[fossil crater]

that one door on factory lmao

im not aware of other unopenable doors they breach unless you mean its unintented

[unique mantle]

unintended, sometimes they breach random doors

[fossil crater]

ill have to keep an eye on that, maybe get a freebie on a locked room

[unique mantle]

they are empty locked rooms with no key or loot inside

[fossil crater]

okay yeah so its just like that one factory room then

random unfinished locked door with nothing behind it

[cinder field]

There is one door in streets that connects the mall with the restaurant

[fossil crater]

yes that one is intended to breach

same with one of the exits from the second floor of chek15

and the office door in tarcone warehouse

[unique mantle]

one of the locked door with a key can be breached in ground zero

[fossil crater]

oh word, i havent stepped foot in ground zero after i did my starter quests

[cinder field]

GZ is a horrible map imo

i died there like 5 times in a row before i completed my quests

[fossil crater]

its just streets + factory with a buncha hidden spots

[unique mantle]

they added shooterborn there....

[fossil crater]

spawnfights are annoying on it

[fossil crater]

got lucky and did my "all map" quests before they added ground zero to them lol

[unique mantle]

i only had to do the guide there

[fossil crater]

i wont try that hard next wipe

managed to avoid that too by like a month

[tame scaffold]

how do i limit my download speed i cant change it through settings

[unique mantle]

popular scav map and unpopular pmc map

[unique mantle]

breach is not a functional mechanic, if a door can be opened it can be breached, but i think it can only be breached in the direction it opens

[cloud grotto]

Well, those doors need keys. Also other guy forgot to mention that some doors are breach only, especially on streets. Its just a matter of learing which ones are which

[topaz forge]

breaching is fun

[blissful birch]

anyone want to run factory with me im just learning more about the game only level 5 rn

or other map i dont mind tbh

[cloud grotto]

Nothing to learn on factory tbh

[junior nest]

Don't bother with factory, it's getting reworked next wipe

[supple smelt]

do ya'll know if they did anything to patch that esp cheating?

[lethal pond]

[supple smelt]

im watching g0at's video on it, just wondering

[lethal pond]

the video thats like 1 year old?

[supple smelt]

yep, that one.

[lethal pond]

yeah they just fixed cheating with a small technical update /s

[supple smelt]

ah ok, cool.

[lethal pond]

Sarcasm btw

[supple smelt]

-_-

[lethal pond]

Its not as easy as to jusst "patch" cheats, its impossible

[supple smelt]

yeah i imagine. was just wondering if they've done anything about it since its been a year

[lethal pond]

Probably, but not really communicating it i guess (so cheaters dont know immediately)

[upbeat elk]

Catching cheaters is a constant battle

[supple smelt]

probably longer, that video is just a year

[junior nest]

From personal experience I don't think I've died to a hacker yet

Atleast in the month I've played

[lethal pond]

The word "Cheater" is being used way to much imo, most of the times people call others out for cheating its just a skill issue tbh

He just 1 tapped you after outmoving you? Cheater
He knew where you were? Cheater

[junior nest]

I think videos and posts about it have overblown the cheater situation imo

Yes they exist, but they aren't "in every game"

[lethal pond]

Pretty much, yeah

[upbeat elk]

End of the wipe cheater problem is not as big, as its mid-wipe id say.

[junior nest]

Ah makes sense, nothing to gain right now by cheating

[upbeat elk]

Earlyish to mid-wipe Labs was literally unplayable on most servers. I would meet cheaters up to like 7 raids in a row

[junior nest]

Is there a reason for not many cheaters in the complete beginning of the wipe?

[upbeat elk]

There are a lot of them, but there are also a shit ton of regular players. So, you dont meet them as much.

A lot of players stop playing like a month in, never getting too far.

Thats where you start feeling more cheaters in raids.

[junior nest]

Makes sense

[supple smelt]

whens the next wipe ?

[tidal lagoon]

early august

[supple smelt]

unheard edition will also be wiped?

[tidal lagoon]

ye

[topaz forge]

every edition gets wiped

[upbeat elk]

you mean pve?

[topaz forge]

pve wont get wiped

[supple smelt]

yeah i did see pve wont be wiped was wondering if regular pvp will be

just got unheard couple days ago

[topaz forge]

yea all editions get wiped at the same time for pvp

[harsh heath]

Good gpu route?

[cloud grotto]

Labs offices? All secret rooms on interchange?

[harsh heath]

check 15?

[cloud grotto]

If u like torture, sure

[elfin elm]

Just check all the tech shops and loose possible spawns on interchange

It's like a 6 minute scav run and has like a chance to spawn st 8 places

70%of the time you spawn in the mall anyways

All the shops and spawns are rught next to each other really

And emercon is like right next to you

[junior nest]

for how big interchange is, it feels like theres almost 0 loot

other than the tech shops

[elfin elm]

Not looking in the right places then

I usually have a pretty good loot run

[outer vector]

[fast acorn]

Hello... I just started playing EFT few days back, i have been having this problem and literally unable to play, need your help - "server connection has been closed due to low connection quality"

[potent crater]

Yah whats the problem with the photo?

[potent crater]

If your ping goes over around 100 for too long it kicks you

So manually change all your servers to lowest ping servers in the launcher

[mortal tangle]

can soembody help me extract from labs. I dont know where to go and need help

[fast acorn]

ok, i have manually selected several servers that are with less ping. ill limit to 1 or 2 and see

[potent crater]

Yah try like a super low ping server first to make sure its that

But its like 15 or 20 seconds of over 100 i think so if you get ping spikes its fine

[mint light]

does astimagtism apply to video games too

because i also see it

[faint canopy]

u gotta have map genie pulled up for these clutch moments

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/lab

at the bottom just check "extraction" and "location" so you know where you are

[vagrant agate]

Why do some items have higher flea market listing fee even though some are more expensive but have less listing fee? Is there a formula or trick?

[unreal horizon]

Fee goes up if you price it super high or super low

[mortal tangle]

still confused lol

i found one exit yippe

[vagrant agate]

That makes sense now!! Is there a sweet spot? Listing it above min? avg?

[tidal lagoon]

ignore min avg that the game shows

just follow what other people do 99% of the time, if an item is listed for 100k list yours for 99,999

sometimes items are listed for insane pricesa tho like 7 mil with a 4 mil fee so be careful that ure not paying some crazy fee to list ur item

[vagrant agate]

Okay so all these factors effect the fee

[tidal lagoon]

basically only the item value and ur listing price affects the fee

all items have a value set by devs

intel center 3 reduces your fee by like 20% i think or smt

[vagrant agate]

Gooood 2 know! I will play with the listing value and watch out for the fee meanwhile I grind to upgrade the intel center. Thx for useful info!

[tidal lagoon]

ye gl man, the fee is mostly something u can ignore tho

[unreal horizon]

There's probably some website that optimizes fee/profit but I cba to check for every item I sell

[vagrant agate]

Niceee i just found it

[unreal horizon]

I'd only use that for really valuable items

Cause most of the time taking 10x the time to sell for another like 10% profit is a waste

[tidal lagoon]

ye just undercut by 1 ruble ez

[junior nest]

It's really only good for listing trades before you go to bed

Cuz who cares if they sell instantly

[unkempt egret]

I tend to go for undercutting the second/third listed item. Still basicaly guaranteed to sell if a bit slower.

[small idol]

embrace poverty, delete your rubles

Anyone got any beginner tips for me? I do scav runs on streets but almost never survive I always have no guns and money so can’t pmc or just spawn in with knife on pmc

[elfin elm]

If you don't survive much, then you need to either run elsewhere or change how you're doing it

[tough goblet]

Most of the time I’m dying to snipers lol

[junior nest]

scav run streets at night and you'll usually be fine

ive never died on a night run there before

and if you want a quick and dirty loadout to use for pmc, just spawn in on factory as a scav and look around for bodies for a min and then extract

[elfin elm]

Scav snipers?

[tough goblet]

yeeee

[elfin elm]

That means you're going out of bounds

Especially if that's while on a scav run

[uncut sonnet]

I just finished the lightkeeper tasks return the favor but I didnt revieve the reward Silicon Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits textbook? Is it bugged or what am i doing wrong?

[unkempt egret]

Don't kill other scavs as scav, try scav runs on factory and rush straight to extract for the scav kit (should be aprox 100K on average)

[astral glen]

It is placed in your inventory automatically

You need to have room to finish the task

[tough goblet]

lmao i know that

i gotta learn factory ngl

[pulsar temple]

we cant transfer pve chars with pvp character right?

items

[digital estuary]

so, need iridium and virtex for beta container, but cant seem to find enough of it, wiki says something, then forums says another, extracted from reserve like 20 times as both scav and pmc, looking for military tech spawns mainly near d2 switch and near d2 extract, and on buildings as well or random tanks, and i only got 1 virtex, on a table near the room with a safe just before d2, and 1 iridium on knights body near the d2 switch, is it me looking for the wrong places, or is it just hard like that? And since im a beginner i cant tell if everybody just loot the places in 2 seconds into the raid or the spawn is very rare, because there are a good amout of moments where i spawn near to the spawn places and/or rush there and theres absolutely nothing, kinda getting bored of it, and yeah i know i can just buy the items on flea, but i dont see the fun of that, sorry for the long ass text

[calm kraken]

I haven't played in a long time so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I always found those in the chalets on lighthouse, there was a virtex house too before unless they changed that there on lighthouse, you need a key, forgot which one. had a high chance to spawn so dunno if it still holds true nowadays

[digital estuary]

Oh, thats a nice tip! Gonna look for it, should be ok. Saw in a map that there was only 2 places where military tech spawned on north lighthouse, so i figured reserve had a better rate of fiding, dunno if those infos i got are updated, thats the problem

Anyway thank you very much

[calm kraken]

search on youtube and check the date when it was uploaded for it, there's one video about it uploaded 4 months ago, I can't link it to you here because Idk if it's allowed to post links haha

[tidal lagoon]

u can post links as long as its not to places that break tos and shit

youtube is fine

[digital estuary]

I'll look for the video then, those guides really help a lot, if i find what i need ill come back to confirm the spawns!

[digital estuary]

Oh thats nice

[calm kraken]

unless they made any changes on lighthouse then videos on where you find them are a lot on youtube since they have been always an issue finding before, but lighthouse in my experience is way better in getting those than in reserve

[undone drum]

Lighthouse - water treatment plant.
If you are USEC or Scav and don´t come to close to Rogues, they don´t attack
5 spots, where Virtex can spawn in the open + 5 more spots in the buildings

[wanton sandal]

Hey guys this is my first wipe are the colored labs cards one use only like red blue and black

[undone drum]

infinite use

[wanton sandal]

Thank you very much

[digital estuary]

Wish i knew that before hsuahsuahsha

[digital estuary]

Damn, my hopes are up again

[undone drum]

i can send you a map of spawns, wait

[digital estuary]

I didnt know that! This changes my perception a lot about those cards

[undone drum]

Ask more questions about lighthouse, if you have any

[small idol]

rare dorms w

too bad im still on factory office kills quest

[undone drum]

i think bragging for attention of beginners is #beginners-chat

[small idol]

true

[uncut sonnet]

Damn.... I died in that raid so i lost it then. ill never be able to get it now 😭

[cloud grotto]

Yep, had to put it up your bum

[astral glen]

You could have put it in your docs case

[cloud grotto]

U can find that one though

[astral glen]

And you can still get it

[blazing onyx]

I'm level 17 or so and looking to vibe and do random tasks.

[gilded pewter]

can we use the "notes" feature for our scav?
like does it carry over?

[golden citrus]

Need help with Gunsmith 17, unable to turn it in and idk why

[gilded pewter]

maybe the build requires the RK charging handle instead of the knurled?

[golden citrus]

Called for that one ☹️

I did it exactly like the wiki

[gilded pewter]

oh wait the recoil's too high

check gigabeef, he has guides for all gunsmith tasks

[golden citrus]

Because it’s folded, it’s Vert 65, Hort 177

[gilded pewter]

so you fixed it?

[golden citrus]

Nope

[tidal lagoon]

unfold it man

[blazing onyx]

This is the wiki photo

Dunno why but your vertical and horizontal recoil are higher than the Wiki pages.

[abstract harness]

The stock is folded is why

unfold the stock

[blazing onyx]

Yep that's true

Also does it ask for the Olive Drab AFG grip? Because you have the green one on

[umbral star]

Can anyone please help me and my buddy do background check? Died 10 times atleast to level 30+ each raid we can't catch a break
