[gleaming tide]

yes teh game asks you after you extract

[quiet island]

No I mean after that dialogue

i'm in the main menu rn but my pmc is still hurt

[gleaming tide]

I belive so or you can just double cicke a med kit

you can use meds in hide out by double clikcing them

[quiet island]

Right but I want to do it by paying, without using meds

is that possible

[gleaming tide]

I dont believe so. If you hide out is leveled you will heal over time

I mean you can just spend money on a med kit and use it

[quiet island]

Yeah I was just wondering if I can pay a doctor to heal me or something

[stiff cape]

once ya pass end game screen gotta just use meds

[quiet island]

gotcha

[mint light]

yes

[junior hollow]

you get xp by healing yourself and its generally cheaper to buy a grizzly health kit and heal that way after raids

[quiet island]

u even get xp by healing in main menu?

[junior hollow]

yes, healing in the main menu gives you xp, same with eating food/drink (if you're not at 100%)

[gleaming tide]

though I think you only get Exp from doing surgery

not from actually "healing"

correct me if im wrong

[edgy plover]

no you get exp from healing

[stiff cape]

pretty sure get exp for healing

im not a stash healer but ive seen it, same as food or drink

[junior hollow]

surgery gives you xp as well but you can't do that out of raid. You also get xp for the surgery skill

[quiet island]

so healing heavy bleeding etc?

[gleaming tide]

no like repairing a blacked out limb

I think you get exp for sustaining bleeds but not from healing them

[edgy plover]

idk about fixing bleeds

but just healing gives exp

[main rover]

ty

does pve goon rotation match that of pvp? ive heard mixed answers, and does anyone know if it is affected by the local host games

[quiet island]

What's up with these kits/presets btw?

[junior hollow]

usless, i don't think anyone uses them

[junior hollow]

pve feels pretty random, i've talked to people on here who fought goons at the same time i did, on different maps

[quiet island]

It'd be nice if I could make it so I automatically buy a pistol with two magazines and equip it for my naked runs

[junior hollow]

you can create a custom preset

[quiet island]

Is that included in the standard edition cause the button seems to be grayed out for me

Oh I need to save it

I see

[main rover]

If I kill one goon will using the flare still make them friendly?

[ocean wolf]

i finished caught red handed from pk but prapors event quest is not showing up now? is this a bug or do i need to do something

[ocean wolf]

no the rest will shoot after you kill 1

[main rover]

Gotta accept both

[ocean wolf]

ahhh ty

[mint light]

no

[quiet island]

Howcome my scav mode cooldown is 30 minutes?

My fence rep is only -0.18

[dark trail]

because its -0.18

[stiff cape]

ya thats bad rep

[brazen swift]

does boss and guards kills scavs as well?

[quiet island]

Smh

[quiet island]

I could have sworn it wasnt that high tho when I was at -0.85 tho

[young meteor]

Yes, if they get too close. They wont hurt you if you have 6+ Fence Rep though.

[pastel fulcrum]

can i just take off the upper receivers off the guns and turn them in when i get to the part where i need to

I do not have space

[warm valley]

whats wrong with that (gunsmith 18)

[undone drum]

Checked tarkov wiki?

[warm valley]

yea its the build from wiki

and i tried it with a yt video aswell

[undone drum]

Post wiki picture and your build and lets compare them together

[stiff cape]

ammo in mag?

nvm i see none

[warm valley]

no its empty

[junior hollow]

Yes

[warm valley]

wiki build

[stiff cape]

double check theyre all black

[sick crater]

Hello my mans 🙂
Please discord's bot, don't ban me 10mins more, I'm human 😄

[warm valley]

they are

[stiff cape]

i think i had somethin goofy with that one as well but cant remember what

[undone drum]

Thats an odd thing to say for an actual human

[warm valley]

never mind the foregrip was military grey and not black

thy guys

[stiff cape]

😎

[undone drum]

Nice

[astral glen]

@sick crater Use less line breaks please, the bot doesn't like it

[sick crater]

Alright 😄 Well, I will not format my message as much as I did then 😄

I need some clarity... Let me explain 😄 : Sooo I'm discovering the game for a few days. I've seen it's great to train against AI offline, so that's what I am doing.

Trying to get familiar with the controls, the extractions, everything. So far I'm enjoying it. Not surviving a lot. But still enjoying ahahah.

But there's something I need to ask you and it's about a kind of "invicible AI". It's getting very frustrating as I am familiar with FPS (started with cs1.6 back in dayyyyys), well I think I still know how to shoot most of the time !

But I'm emptying a whole load of M4A1 on a bot, and nothing happens. What. The. Hell. Am I missing something very important ?

[sick crater]

Am I able to post short clips to show the thing ?

[astral glen]

You can post clips if you want, but the ammo you start with is complete shit

[sick crater]

It's 10 seconds clips

[astral glen]

Like it can't penetrate much at all

[stiff cape]

shitty ammo and parts of bodies have their own HP until "blacked out"

go for headshots or expect to have to shoot them alot

[sick crater]

Well I'm assuming I did some... (headshots)

[stiff cape]

also armor is very good right now

so even tankier if the AI has some on

[sick crater]

So about the above clips, looks ok-ish for you ?

[stiff cape]

also your guns and PMC skills suck so its not really a great point and shoot at range spammin low levels

those do not look okay youre just spammin with a shit gun

and mostly shooting center mass

if not even lower

im on mobile so cant see that great but ya dont expect to do well shootin like that

esp with low end skills/gun loadout

[sick crater]

I was just getting tilted in these clips 😄 Like "WHAT THE HELL, DIE OMFG" 😂

[stiff cape]

skills referrint to your PMC btw

theres actaul skills ya level through raiding doing various things and gun mods help as well

[sick crater]

But I was assuming 10-15 bullets was enough to kill anything..

[night junco]

Someone get this man a zoomed optic 😭

[sick crater]

Yeah well starting the game hahaha

[stiff cape]

you werent hittint 10-15 bullets

[viral prawn]

What distance are you sighted for, your also shooting at an upward angle, so all your shots going to drop low, and the High profile gas block with that sight makes it hard to tell really

[night junco]

U want one? Or multiple? I’ll drop for u

[sick crater]

No I'd rather discorver fully the game by myself 🙂

[night junco]

[night junco]

Even when I was low level I went to fence for optics, worked out nice for me

[stiff cape]

i can show ya in an offline if ya want, nothing that happens in raid saves

[sick crater]

Default, I don't think I changd it I just spawned and fighted like 1min after

[stiff cape]

either way that shooting style wont work well

[viral prawn]

Next time crouch if your going to ADS

the Tac Blue Laser from Skier costs 5.6k and can basically go on almost any gun (With modification), just use laser and hipfire, Tac devices Double Hipfire accuracy

[sick crater]

I presume it will reduce recoil but I really feel like I aimed more than 10 bullets in the guy and it doesn't feel like I hit him more than once 😦

[viral prawn]

What did the end of raid screen say

[sick crater]

Oh haven't checked it

[viral prawn]

did you click through it and absorb zero information, or did you read it to count hits

[sick crater]

got too tilted

[viral prawn]

Yeah, try to learn from your mistakes

Tarkov helps you make enough of them

[sick crater]

That's what I'm trying to do 😋

[viral prawn]

Fuck knows i've made every mistake you'll ever make

[sick crater]

But this... felt really weird

[viral prawn]

You could have been hitting Neck, Some armors protect neck

so you'd effectively be hitting up to t4/t5 with fuck all pen

[stiff cape]

tarkov is not a normal fps

welcome and enjoy your stay

[sick crater]

Yeah well being different (not normal) !== buggy, I just wanted to be sure it was not a known but or anything

Looks clear to all of you its not

so clear to me

[stiff cape]

tarkov is buggy but nothin you experienced is a bug

you missed a ton of shots

[sick crater]

Like... on the first clip with the guy on the hill, I shot 27 bullets.
The red dot is maybe 15 times within his body (I mean any part)

I'm what, 50 meters, I don't expect any bullet drop with this kind of weapon so close ? (I don't know)

[stiff cape]

its not an aim and point shooter esp when spamming. your guns and character have stats that affect shooting

[sick crater]

xD

So bullets don't go where I am aiming ? great

[stiff cape]

not when you spam like that with low skills

[sick crater]

I'm not sure I'll stick to it then 😦

[night junco]

Especially with the way that your gun moves left and right when you strafe, it’s more like strafing in counterstrike, than any other game

[stiff cape]

you just played it poorly its not a spam shooter not sure what else to say

[sick crater]

yeah forgot about that clip, was on the first one 😋

[night junco]

You can literally counter strafe in tarkov, It’s not exactly the same but you get nearly the same affect

[stiff cape]

if that puts ya off so easily ya def wont like tarkov

its a hardcore rpg mmo fps

[night junco]

If you’re strafing left you have to move your crosshair to the right vise versa

[stiff cape]

once you get better and learn how to shoot, and get better guns, it becomes better at spamming but dont expect to do that lol

[night junco]

Jailbreak recoil m4 has entered the chat

Rip 556 dmg

If you want less recoil off the bat to

You can always use an smg

Mp5 is solid for headshots

[sick crater]

No but I'm fine with recoil and everything...
But telling me bullets don't go where I am aiming feels so wrong

to me

right now

[night junco]

“Welcome to tarkov”

[sick crater]

On big left or right strafes I can understand the weapon is not exactly aiming where you think

[night junco]

When you move and your gun sways btw, ergo and weight effects that I’m p sure, so using an SMG would make the game feel more like other games. And then once you’re able to get good guns in your character can carry heavy stuff you could use another gun or like a rifle and it would feel more at home

[sick crater]

but on straight line like I was... meh

[stiff cape]

you just didnt control the gun well lol

[oblique lichen]

where r u shooting

[stiff cape]

they posted clips up above

[night junco]

When I was getting used to the gun moving how it does, I used offline mode/ shooting range to practice moving left and right and getting my bullets where I wanted them, similar to practicing counter strafing. That would probably help u get used to it a lot faster than playing normal raids

[stiff cape]

but ya if you expect to be able to spam and click like that and kill stuff esp low level with crap gun/ammo not sure what to tell ya

its a leveling rpg gun game

[sick crater]

that's. not. what. I. am. saying. dude blueberry, stop assuming things I don't think 😄

I know I'm doing wrong atm

in a lot of ways

[stiff cape]

youre basically sayin that?

[stiff cape]

&

anyways ill leave ya be gl

[sick crater]

So you tell me, there is bullet innaccuracy based on in game skill of my character ?

so If i'm standing still, aiming a wall at 10 meters , my bullet wont go exactly where I am aiming ?

[stiff cape]

its based on everything ive said

and spamming a gun fast like that will lead to poor results

[sick crater]

Spamming a gun like that is me getting tilted

[night junco]

If you standing Still and fire one bullet at a wall with very low level skills, The primary thing that’s going to affect your bullet accuracy is going to be the gun margin of error or moa

[sick crater]

and misunderstanding the game

[undone drum]

There is a gun stat called MOA. The Lower the better.
Its basically how much bullets land close tp each other

[stiff cape]

the dont be tilted and go take your time aiming not sure how im supposed to think any diff if thats what ya posted

[undone drum]

What gun sorry?

[sick crater]

M4A1

in the clip, first weapon I have in the game

well, one of firsts

[undone drum]

What lvl are you?

[sick crater]

1

[stiff cape]

its a very stock m4a1 they posted two clips

[sick crater]

starting the game, everything stock

[sick crater]

^ @undone drum

[night junco]

Swear I might rather use the Beretta than a stock m4

Just me

[undone drum]

Allright. Do quests, level up, you get better guns with better spray

[sick crater]

ahahah

[stiff cape]

if ya shoot slow theyre fine

noone spams like that at range early wipe

and gets anything

[undone drum]

Single fire is your best friend, unless you are so close, you can smell his breath

[night junco]

😂 goofy meme

[sick crater]

doing quest means doing pvp, means losing gear and everything ? I just wanted to discover the game in a chill-ish way

[sick crater]

it was single fire 😂

[night junco]

The only way past is through

You got it mane

[undone drum]

Do all quests require you to PvP?

[stiff cape]

theres a pve mode that will be for sale on its own soon

[sick crater]

I don't know, asking 😋

[undone drum]

Slow, patient single fire

[night junco]

No they don’t

[junior hollow]

scav runs

[stiff cape]

just playin vs AI on a separate character with separate progression

[sick crater]

I'm not afraid of PVP, I'm trying to learn controls before getting to it, thats all

[pallid ruin]

To be fair, pvp also means gaining gear and other players' loot, high risk high reward

[undone drum]

Good good. PvP is not required for ton of early questa

[pallid ruin]

you could do some practice offline with bots if that floats your boat

[stiff cape]

not required but youll have to work hard to avoid it lol

[sick crater]

Thaaaat's what I'm trying to do but tonight, this thing about 10-15 bullet supposedly on target - but its not according to you all - tilted me

I'll go through it and try again for sure, but the feeling wasn't great with this. I guess I'll learn.

[undone drum]

How I do early quests is I actively avoid PvP, sneak around, use the darkness of evenings and stay until late raid for quests

[pallid ruin]

Every gun has MOA - it's the spread in inches at 100 yards, a gun with 0.5moa will have a spread of 1inch at 200yards, a gun with 15moa would have a spread of 30 inches at 200 yards

but you dont really have to worry about MOA unless you're sniping or going for really long shots

[undone drum]

They say, tarkov is the hardest fps game to master. Frustrating at the start but very satisfying once you made it

[pallid ruin]

Here is the wiki page about it, it's under the "accuracy" section https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Performance_modifiers

[undone drum]

Accuracy and moa are same there?

[sick crater]

I wasn't expecting any "modifier" at the distance I was (30-50meters maybe ?)

[pallid ruin]

yeah it shouldnt be there tbf

[quiet island]

what the hell

[pallid ruin]

let me read on the context of your main question, i jumped in without reading it one sec

[sick crater]

You can start from the two clips I posted above

[pallid ruin]

alright im ngl this is bs lol

as in wtf why arent they dead type of bs

thats def not an MOA issue

[undone drum]

Just shoot things, let your muscle memory learn and you will be fine

[stiff cape]

its not, hes level 1 with a shit gun spamming

[quiet island]

Nice it let me reconnect just to tell me that I've been killed in the time I lost connection 😭 🤣 is this a common issue?

[pallid ruin]

most likely culprit would be bad ammo and the scavs running armored vests - headshot wise since he's level 1 the rounds will just bounce off the helmet too

[stiff cape]

thats literally how it works ewrly wipe

[sick crater]

how is that hardcore or realistics, thats just my point.
Then I accept it all and move on 😋 no problems

[pallid ruin]

what rounds were you using?

[sick crater]

uuuh stocks

[pallid ruin]

m855?

[undone drum]

No idea, how much was absorbed by armor

[sick crater]

Yes I think so !

[quiet island]

What the hell

[sick crater]

I've seen something like that in my stash

[stiff cape]

sure, all things i already stated earlier. noone should expect to get a kill there though on tarkov

[undone drum]

Nice nice

[stiff cape]

def not "bullshit" if youve played tarkov early wipe

or with a fresh pmc however ya wanna say it

[pallid ruin]

tbf i never had issues like this early wipe for like 7 wipes in a row

but I usually just tap slower for the head, especially for the scavs

[undone drum]

No

[stiff cape]

exactly....

[quiet island]

next time it happens should I click the [OK] prompt or let the 30s countdown timer go down?

[pallid ruin]

m855 penetrates up to level 3 armor, scavs usually don't wear level 4 (sometimes they do) but lvl usually it's level 3 vests - headshsot wise they usually dont wear lvl 4 helmets so I doubt that would be the case - the biggest explanation would be after the raid, you get stats of how many shots fired, how many hit, how much flesh damage and how much was absorbed by armor - im not sure if it does that in offline but it should i think? do you have a screenshot of that perhaps?

[undone drum]

Now looking at the clips, your shooting was great. Just change position a bit more often

[sick crater]

I'm not able to recognize scav or pmc right now 😄 I have like 2 hours in the game 😄

[sick crater]

I need to get over the "come on just die already" mindset I guess

[quiet island]

a tip I got told was check their clothing, scav have really obvious ratchet ass clothing. Also apparently all PMCs have a pistol holster on their legs

[pallid ruin]

yeah makes sense, its fairly hard unless you got the hours - the best way to differentiate them is knowing where scavs spawn, by their voicelines and by how they move - but all of that would require experience

[sick crater]

it does but I was tilted, left the game instantly to come here ahahaah

[pallid ruin]

usually you dont get to check out their drip while in a firefight

[undone drum]

Against scavs changing position is specially important. Rather run to a closer cover to him, then do more then 5 shoots from one angle

[quiet island]

🤣

[sick crater]

Well in my case I had plenty of time while shooting to look at their clothes 🥸 😂

[undone drum]

Not sure if waiting matters

[pallid ruin]

oh lmao, but yeah to be fair m855 should still be decent especially against scavs - all I can say is that you didn't get a headshot (unless it bounced off the helmet, there is a ricochet chance and even if your round would penetrate (by looking at stats) there is a chance it's going to bounce

it's a shame we dont have the endgame stats, that would explain a bit

[stiff cape]

scavs can tank body shots esp with shit ammo like m855

[sick crater]

It was also my first game with a fucking sight, struggled 30 minutes to find the way and where to buy ahahaha

Previous games I was doing with the stock quarry (I think that's how you call it ?)

[pallid ruin]

2 thorax shots should theoretically kill them unless they're wearing lvl4 plates which isnt that common for scavs on woods

ACTUALLY wait

i just think I might know the reason

so, this is woods

you're in an area where the scav boss spawns

[sick crater]

Don't tell me there's an invisible tree

[pallid ruin]

shturman (the boss) has 2 helpers

[stiff cape]

offline you have to enable bosses

[pallid ruin]

yeah was about to ask

[stiff cape]

that wasnt it unless he did that

[sick crater]

I think it is enabled by default ?

I haven't touched anything it parameters

[pallid ruin]

can you have a look?

[sick crater]

I'm starting the game

[stiff cape]

and no dont expect to two shot thorax with 855 on scavs

[pallid ruin]

that would explain everything as helpers and bosses have increased health

[pallid ruin]

brb going into a game to factcheck

[sick crater]

Are they fucking terminators ? 😄

[stiff cape]

bosses arent enabled by default for offline

[pallid ruin]

yeah basically lol

[stiff cape]

so its not the case if left default

[sick crater]

It is

its french but it is 😄

[pallid ruin]

you sure? i havent touched my settings and its enabled

[sick crater]

JcE = PvE

[pallid ruin]

yep, thats exactly why you didnt kill them - not only do they rock way better gear but their health is also increased

mystery solved

[stiff cape]

unless they changed that it wasnt that way before

[sick crater]

But still I haven't done great, I understood @stiff cape

🥸

[stiff cape]

all I was saying if from that clip you posted dont expect to do well early into your PMCs levels/gear

if you were tilted or w/e i wouldnt have anything else to base off of it

[sick crater]

Like yesterday I litterally 3 AI in a row with 3 or 4 shots each no problems

[stiff cape]

thats literally new if so

[pallid ruin]

first image is followers' health and second image is normal scav health

[sick crater]

with the same weapon, same bullets

[pallid ruin]

yeah here is a clip of tagilla (scav boss) eating around 16 shots (missed half of them) on factory

[stiff cape]

i also doubt the Guards would allow him to shoot that many without lasering him

[main rover]

scavs can spawn with both red beard and antique axe right?

[pallid ruin]

nah they def would, I even got shturman with a glock before

[sick crater]

It feels so wrong to me right now, not being familiar with the game.....

[stiff cape]

i mean, that doesnt change what I said but ya you can for some reason get biffed AI

[pallid ruin]

yep

[pallid ruin]

to be fair bosses arent that common and they are only on certain parts of the maps - you just wondered right into the boss' lair

[stiff cape]

i just viewed it on my PC not phone

that first guy is Shturman

[pallid ruin]

[stiff cape]

why would they default bosses to be on outta nowhere

[pallid ruin]

no clue, i never checked whether they were enabled since I havent touched offline for like over 4 years lol

but im glad we got to clear up the mystery behind this

[stray fossil]

LF anyone down to play with a new player lvl 14 pvp NAE

[sick crater]

🥲 Thank you, and everyone !

[pallid ruin]

np, for future reference here is shturman's health - you wouldnt have one tapped him in the head with m855

[sick crater]

I'll wipe my tears now

Yeah if I hit like 5-10 bullets, most of them mid-low on the body, it feels now less bs

with all explanations

[pallid ruin]

yep, I had a feeling that you should've killed that "scav" on the video even with spamming, but now it all makes sense - especially looking back on it knowing you were fighting shturman lol

[queen stream]

can you spilt stacks

[pallid ruin]

yes, hold control and drag

[queen stream]

thanks

[pallid ruin]

np

[queen stream]

didnt see it in controls

[sick crater]

I wasn't even aware there was bosses tbf

I might disabled them for now

[main rover]

Best way to find red beard and antique axe? scavs? airdrops?

[sick crater]

in offline mode

[pallid ruin]

to be fair, if you killed shturman on lvl1 as a new player that'd be impressive af to me lol

[stiff cape]

they has bosses disabled by default few months ago

[undone drum]

Scavs

[stiff cape]

fact he didnt laser ya was goofy AI moment

shit not even months ago, a month ago

i started this wipe in june and dicked around in offline factory testin stuff

[pallid ruin]

to be fair he can be a bit forgiving, exactly why I got his ass with a glock before (wasnt expecting him, man just ran up to me)

[sick crater]

As a mid-high level player in other FPS I would expect to 🥸 joking.

[pallid ruin]

[sick crater]

Anyway, I'll stop spamming this chat as I have no more questions 🙂 Thanks all

Have a good night

[pallid ruin]

[pallid ruin]

yep, but for a completely new player who is level 1 thatd be impressive, most new players cant even kill a scav

[oblique lichen]

hold on chat let me load on level 1 account

[pallid ruin]

you're not a new player

[oblique lichen]

nuh uh

[edgy plover]

Most new players can kill scavs lmao

It would be a truly special breed that couldn’t

[pallid ruin]

well I happen to know 3 of those special breeds lmao

[elfin elm]

seen several

unfortuantely

[wraith hamlet]

How do I remap quick slot gun

[elfin elm]

you mean the 1, 2, 3 for pistol, sling, and back firearms?

[wraith hamlet]

Yeah so just loaded in currently my M4A1 is number 2

I want it to be 1

And my sidearm 2

[elfin elm]

the keybinds are seperate from the visual bar

you can change the keybinds in settings fine

but visually on your hud, it will always be slot 1, 2, and 3

[wraith hamlet]

Oh ok yeah sorry I remapped my keyboard. But I guess I’m referring to quick slot or quick use

[elfin elm]

you mean 4 through 0?

either way, your keybinds are what you care about

[wraith hamlet]

No V & 1through 0

Or can I not change 1-3? Only 4-0

[elfin elm]

you can change 1-3 for binds

but they will visually always be the same

like your sidearm will always be slot 1

but you can still keybind slot 1 to whatever the hell you want

[wraith hamlet]

Ok that’s all I was getting at! Thanks!

you can DM me, probably easiest

[wispy stratus]

alkali is the best

he helped me alot

[hybrid dome]

sent you a dm

[wispy stratus]

dm is correct. he is Damn Marvelous

[elfin elm]

lol

[spring night]

HOW MUCH SPACE DO I NEED TO PLAY IT.

[elfin elm]

you mean file size?

[spring night]

YES

[elfin elm]

around 40 GB I think

careful with caps

you'll get auto modded by the bot

[spring night]

I GOT RTX 3050 IS THAT ENOUGH TO PLAY SMOOTH

[elfin elm]

depends on the map, ram and cpu matter more most of the time

please turn off caps lock

[spring night]

oh okay.btw thanks

[elfin elm]

👍

16 gig ram is minimum for this game, 32 is usually better

SSD reeeally helps

and a good cpu is nice

you can also youtube performance comparisons

think a couple have been made before

[spring night]

[fervent raft]

what cpu and ram

the gpu is not that important

[dusk cairn]

How do u spawn in ground zero and not die in 2 mins outta nowhere

[fervent raft]

pay attention to the spawns

youll know where to watch out from

[dusk cairn]

Yeah guess it takes time

[fervent raft]

it does

if you use a map sometimes they show playerspawns

youll be able to tell where there could be other players

[dusk cairn]

I play shoreline and gz

Shoreline is a bit better

And i know pier boat is contested alot so i can watch out there but gz is like what is going on

[fervent raft]

usually the pier is pretty dead

but ground zero just have very close playerspawns

[dusk cairn]

Ive found players there everytime i went 💀

[dusk cairn]

Yeah makes sense i just dont know where i spawn half the time till i see the building near the car extract

[fervent raft]

youll learn that by playing

[dusk cairn]

So i should stick to one map only?

[fervent raft]

i would learn gz, woods or customs

since those are the maps youll have your first tasks on

so youre good for wipe

[past pagoda]

do there is anyway to buy somebody account or i have to buy on the website

[edgy plover]

You have to buy on the website

[past pagoda]

there is no player who dont play anymore selling their account ?

[edgy plover]

It's against TOS to buy/sell accounts and it's impossible to change emails for accounts so the process would be shady

[past pagoda]

oh ok i see thank for notice me

[dull storm]

what happpened to scavs

[woeful spruce]

not terribly sus. i would trust this more if the guy had over1,5k hours but entirely fiesable as this might be an experienced guys 2nd account or something

yea, doesnt sound that sus

[dusky vessel]

Is it a bug that i can wear a helmet with FAST ears and XCEL headphones at the same time?

[woeful spruce]

nope, its a feature. they are lower profile for the pourpouse of fitting under such helmets

[dusky vessel]

Ok cool, only xcel?

[woeful spruce]

thats also why they are more expensive than some other headsets

[woeful spruce]

the razors also fit under some helmets others dont but its not exactly the same i think

[dusky vessel]

ok, i'll play around with them to figure it out

[wraith hamlet]

Hey so I got confused playing last night. Bought a Mosin. It needs like 7x62x54R or something like that? What ammo is that?

My bad. So used to how other games read. So apologies

I didn’t see that ammo in the shop only saw 7.62x25mm or something so got confused I guess that 4R ammo is only bootable?

Lootable

Thanks that actually helps a lot! Appreciate it! And apologies for the lamens question

[quiet island]

y'all somebody wanna tell me why it looks like my character has a migraine

[stiff cape]

bad spot on the map

or your computa

[quiet island]

Never happened to me before, and it stayed for the entire match

I'm guessing something went wrong with light baking or something like that

[stiff cape]

i typically only see somethin similar when standing in a particular spot thats buggy on the map

id def restart game if its everywhere

[reef scaffold]

Question is the amount of weight important to str vs endurance? Or is it just meeting orange vs green

Like.. do i get more str experience if i somehow go in weighing 100kg vs just being like 30kg with a kit?

my str is still only 16

I been going in around 30kg every raid and i use the workout station

[stiff cape]

youre either underweight or overweight

underweight levels endurance overweight levels strength

dont believe theres much more to it then that. how much you can carry without being overweight depends on str or stim buffs

wiki has tons of details on it as always

[reef scaffold]

any advice on how to make my str not so low

it feels really low, I dont have vents yet cause i dont have lk for the part

[pallid ruin]

take some nades with you into the raid and use them, throwing nades helps out a bit with levelling strength (unless they changed it but i doubt it)

other than that waht smooth operator said

[twin ether]

Start working out 💪

[stiff cape]

ive mostly been overweight since prob mid 20s or 30 with my normal loadouts. 24 str and 20 endura. just take in good gear if youre still lower level and should do it as well

[twin ether]

Question: do arena characters share your physical attributes like Str and Endurance?

Yeah, that rules. I just got into Arena late this wipe (first wipe) and I feel like i'm going to progress so fast next wipe

[quiet island]

How much is it to unlock arena if u have standard edition????

[proud zephyr]

does anybody have the rusted bloody key for streets?

im trying to do "The Door" quest

[quiet island]

edge of darkness has it no?

right so howmuch to upgrade from standard to EoD edition?

[proud zephyr]

cant get eod anymore

[quiet island]

damn, that's silly

howmuch to upgrade to unheard?

yikes

if u get the arena do u unlock the PvE mode aswell or is that another game u have to purchase lol

So howmuch to unlock just PvE and Arena if u have standard? 20+35?

This game do be expensive lol

good on em tho, if people are buying it, why not

Yeah, I suppose it's better than doing a battlepass or something like that

[mint light]

we glazing now

[pallid ruin]

yep definitely, i looked into iracing yesterday and its a goddamn monthly subscription + you pay for cars and tracks, shit is hundreds of dollars if you even want to get in and you never own anything

[bold kernel]

how can i put a sight on my m4a1

i have tier 1 vendors no flee market

can i not?

[pallid ruin]

gimme a moment, imma try to build one and let you know

iirc you can put an acog on the base top handle

but idk if you can buy it at lvl1

[bold kernel]

can you make me a good dorms loadout with what i have

wait

[pallid ruin]

hows the mcx, you got any ammo for that?

.300

[bold kernel]

x17 bcp fmj .300

from the raid just then i got it

[pallid ruin]

hm not enough - i'd say go for a cheap loadout, your armor is mid at best (make sure to repair the helmet or buy a new one) - you might bring a good gun but 3 shots in your thorax from a decently geared pmc and you're down

for dorms in that case i'd recommend an SMG and either go leg meta or go for the head (i personally prefer head), the mp5 you got would work perfectly fine for that

[bold kernel]

didnt think about mp5 its quite nicely modded

[pallid ruin]

tbf even barebones mp5 is a laser, really decent gun for lvl1 traders and cheap to run

the issue is the ammo, pst is what you'd want to run if you dont have any better ammo but even that can be hard to get unless you looted some / you got the flea market

(usually ap is the way to go but you're not close to getting that)

[rough hedge]

Im soo confused, whenever Im a rat like a literal avt why are scavs tagged and cursed for me

[pallid ruin]

do you have a weapon + a rig / armor / backpack?

[rough hedge]

I have a weapon and a rig no armour

I thought they dont chase you if you have a weapon

[pallid ruin]

check what ammo you can run, you want at least 20pen for faces in case you encounter face shields but in the end run what you can and try to unlock the traders

[bold kernel]

i can only use green tracer

[pallid ruin]

they don't, you need a weapon + a rid / armor / backpack

[pallid ruin]

yep, not the best im not gonna lie but if you believe in yourself and get those faces it will be fine

[bold kernel]

can i bring m4a1 or pointless

cus too overkill

for armour

[pallid ruin]

tbf you can, a gun is never overkill - its just that the firerate is slower and since you dont have good ammo you wont pen the armor, so best way to go is either legs or face - but you dont have the armor to survive for too long so going for high firerate is imo the way to go

ofc you will find difference of opinions from other players too but thats what id do

[pallid ruin]

do remember one thing, the weapons are there to use them so if you really wanna go with it just do it, you might lose it but it's w/e, you'll get a new one from a pmc you kill / off the market once you get it

[bold kernel]

shall i bring any keys

i wanna key container but how

[pallid ruin]

if you got a quest in 206 then bring the 206, 303 is alright but i wouldnt bring it personally without a container, 108 you could bring if you got space - it has a pc so you might get a usb stick / gpu (low chances but doable)

the quest for 206 is called "Operation Aquarius - Part 1" from therapist

[bold kernel]

i dont have it yet ik it exists tho

i might bring 108

[pallid ruin]

either a docs case / sicc case / keyring (the green one you can find) / key tool, therapist lvl2 has the docs case as a barter, but i'd say just buy it on the market after you get it, thatd be the earliest tbf

unless you use your scav and spawn with the green keyring, you can put 4 keys on it

Gingy keychain to be exact

lvl2 therapist also has the keytool but its gonna be more pricey

and at that price id just run a docs case since you can fit more than just keys inside

[bold kernel]

i found another m4a1 on the raid wtfff

[pallid ruin]

yeah told you you'll find more

[bold kernel]

im just gunna bring one next raid why not

also whens wipe cus alot of people are not playing but this is good for me to learn

[rough hedge]

Why isnt my gunsmith 4 not working?

[pallid ruin]

too heavy

6kg or less

[bold kernel]

what do i need to change to turn this in for mp 133 task

[pallid ruin]

better ergo

[unkempt egret]

Change tube to MP 133 -x6 instead of the x8, swap both flashlights out for a TBL blue laser from Skier, remove the sprut and swap to the plastic rail handguard instead
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Gunsmith_-_Part_1#Shopping_List

[pallid ruin]

yep this

[bold kernel]

ugh none of the traders sell

can someone do customs with me

i beg

[spare vector]

jeager or mechanic have this MP133 Rail for barter. bring HDD for him

[mint vine]

How does wipe work in pve

[pallid ruin]

you wipe manually, no set wipes

[mint vine]

How do you do that

[pallid ruin]

no clue lol, gotta wait for someone that did it to see

[mint vine]

Oh ok

[pallid ruin]

probably somewhere on your profile but if i remember correctly you used to be able to only wipe 2 accounts at once, not only pve - I think they changed that but dont take this as an answer, lets wait for someone who actually knows it to say how it is

[prime wraith]

yo, anyone knows why i keep getting ''Server Disconnected'' when I'M tryna load into a game on Streets? I tried to rejoin 5 times, even got off the game completely and changed servers for the single best ping server

[stiff cape]

does your computer suck?

if so prob why

[hazy ferry]

what your specs

[main rover]

Can people show me their kappa containers? never had one and im not sure what to put in it

[dark trail]

put whatever you need, but id probably do
surv kit, sicc, ibuprofen, injectors, 2-3 stacks of ammo

• whatever you might need

[main rover]

how does ibuprofen and goldenstar compare?

[night junco]

or just yolo it

[bold kernel]

do scav then pmc

repeat

surely

[night junco]

if u know a money run, take kits on that and play safe is what i would do.

then scav as u have it

[dusk cairn]

yeah sadly i dont im new

[night junco]

u can always yt one for the map u know the best

[dusk cairn]

i like ground zero but its just too many close spawns for pmc alot of pvp

[bold kernel]

ground zero go in with knife and do tasks

[night junco]

nearly every map has rlly bad spawns. their spawn system is ass

[bold kernel]

then do woods tasks and have fun

[night junco]

there is no system

[dusk cairn]

knife is crazy but lowkey u might be on to something

[bold kernel]

bro you can kill scav with knife easy it’s infinite scav loadouts

[dusk cairn]

sheesh imma try that rn

[bold kernel]

but only do it when down atrocious

you have 2 loadouts so just maybe chill idk

[night junco]

[dusk cairn]

where do i buy a knife even lmao

[night junco]

fence

[bold kernel]

its free

[night junco]

if i knew woods i would srry

[bold kernel]

i need level 15

[night junco]

pull up a map?

[bold kernel]

nah that’s chill ik woods it was pitch black and i spawned by mine field

[idle anchor]

Any tips on how to find optimal settings? I have a 2080 but this game is pushing it hard

[night junco]

turn stuff on and off and test in an offline raid. use console fps 1 command to view it

[bold kernel]

bro is it worth killing yourself if you lost your leg at start of raid?

[night junco]

do this on same map in same locations

[night junco]

not if u have a cms

[stiff cape]

no surg kit? prob if no painkillers either

[night junco]

[stiff cape]

and if PK you should just gtfo

are you killing scavs as a scav

Killing scavs and scav bosses as a scav looses you rep

[bold kernel]

is the scar worth running on customs

[faint canopy]

Sure

I would go with the 762 tho

[brazen swift]

no

[final crag]

then idk

[brazen swift]

i am killing scavs as pmc though

[final crag]

yeah thats fine

[night junco]

If your loosing rep, your killing scavs as a scav

Period. Idk any other way to loose scav rep ong

thank you

will this fix the guy with 1800 hours and night vision on the map?

[dusk cairn]

couldnt tell ya this game is wild

[brazen swift]

no clue

[quiet island]

I've just unlocked the flea market, which of these is the best to buy money/usage wise

[night junco]

Depends on what u got the most of. First things I got was item case, ammo and mag case and an injector case

Also a doc or sicc case ^

[quiet island]

I can put the sicc case in my alpha pouch right?

[night junco]

Yes

[quiet island]

What can go in it?

[night junco]

People use them for dog tags, valuables items and keys, and money

[quiet island]

can u put meds iin it too?

[night junco]

Nope

Don’t think so

But the injector case can help with that. There’s tons of injectors for healing stopping bleeds, getting stamina, etc…

[keen fossil]

Most important thing is a docs case

Good for loot and keys

[night junco]

Sicc cases like a docks case but slightly different. There’s people that don’t carry a sicc and there’s people that don’t carry a docs it’s all preference

[keen fossil]

sicc case is shit

[night junco]

And that’s your opinion

Tell that to the 10,000 hour Andy’s that carry one

[keen fossil]

docs is more practical and like 3mil cheaper

[night junco]

3mil ain’t shit

[keen fossil]

I’m assuming the dude is new and low level

With not a lot of money cause bro is asking what cases are good

[quiet island]

will I get any penalty for TK'ing my buddy? he keeps getting DC'd due to high ping

[keen fossil]

No

[night junco]

Nope

Whoever’s hosting though could change servers to get you on a more neutral ping. You can change servers before launching the game

[quiet island]

No way to do so in game?

[night junco]

Na once a raids hosted on a server its set. And to change servers you gotta close game and change in launcher, then open it again

[night junco]

Atleast that I know of

[tulip kettle]

bro they need to actually fucking nerf scavs

ive been one shot like 4 times today with either cqcm or a t4 helmet the second they agro on me

[main rover]

is there any sort of time from start of raid for raiders to spawn on reserve? or will they spawn immediately if theya re going to

[astral glen]

There are multiple points at which they can spawn

At the start of the raid, when someone turns on the power to D2, and when the armoured train arrives

[main rover]

I mean that, hermetic, and power

will it be instantaneous though?

[astral glen]

Yes

[main rover]

thanks

the building on streets get named after you?

or vice versa

[astral glen]

What came first, chicken or egg?

[main rover]

id say the egg

[main rover]

so which is it?

[south tapir]

ok am i doing something wrong as a scav if other scavs shoot me on sight

i have fine scav rep (1.1) and random ai scavs shoot me instantly. (not bosses or raiders or guards)

[quaint flower]

how do i claim that reward from the first ground zero task

[astral glen]

If scav bosses or guards become hostile to you then regular scavs will also become hostile

[astral glen]

Main menu, traders, go to the trader, tasks, complete on the left

[south tapir]

yeah i know that but im not at any of a bosses spawns, was just a random ai that mag dumped me

[astral glen]

Where were you?

[quaint flower]

thank you

[south tapir]

reserve basement

not near any raiders or glu

[astral glen]

Glukhar spawns down there and above there

[south tapir]

yeah but he was other side of map near train

heard voice

[astral glen]

Train is not the other side of the map

[south tapir]

reserve BUNKER sorrt

bad comm

[astral glen]

If you heard the voice then that’s most likely when they became aggressive to you

[south tapir]

makes sense

[astral glen]

They don’t spawn in the D2 bunker

[south tapir]

yeah thats where the AI blasted me

[astral glen]

Yeah, if you were close enough to hear glukhars voice, then you were definitely close enough to be marked as hostile

[south tapir]

bro didnt even see me ;-;

[astral glen]

They don’t need to

[south tapir]

pain

[astral glen]

They can become hostile through walls and floors

[south tapir]

racist boss

[night junco]

They can aggro threw walls. Happens all time as pmc and scav. They have X-ray vision

[astral glen]

What a weird thing to say

[south tapir]

its true 🙏🏻

[obtuse wave]

would anybody be down to help me n the homie out with easy money part one? we really don't wanna play woods and get lost lmao

If you get lost on woods, leave the quest be. Ref is not important until later on, when you do arena

[obtuse wave]

im lvl 30 bro its just bc all i do is pvp on reserve lmao, i dont play the bigger maps and i barely know customs

best map to play as a scav ?

THERES QUESTS?

ive just been playing for the goal of finding a gun and then dieing to 6 russians screaming at me

[undone drum]

The best way to get better things from traders is questing

[undone drum]

You should go to YouTube, type in tarkov beginner guide and watch some

[undone drum]

People, who dont know the flow of lighthouse, are struggling.
Its challenging for pmc because there is a lot of sniping. If you spawn as scav, its usually over

there outside the tent im hiding in

hurry please someone

he wont let me leave hes standing in the door way of the tent

[undone drum]

I will not hurry, you should prepare yourself, before going into raid

[torn cedar]

with what i dont have guns

i hear 3 of them

[pallid ruin]

no guns -> tagged and cursed -> scavs will rush you and always know where you are

[undone drum]

Why dont you take guns with you?

[pallid ruin]

you probably aint extracting this raid

[torn cedar]

i dont have any

[torn cedar]

they just ran into the tent and started shootin

??event

[red thistle]

See here for information on the current event: #eft-announcements message

[brazen swift]

any idea why fence trader is leveling down instead of up? i do not kill scavs when i play as scavs, i only kill scavs as PMC but everytime i finish a raid his lvl is even lower, he went into negative now

yes

shit....i didnt know

thank you so much

now i am only lvl 14, any way to wipe the profile and start from zero?

ok i guess i just wait, thank you so much

[pallid ruin]

how low is it?

i was too baked to reply to the right message yesterday, it wouldnt be so bad if i hit the right button

mb

[brazen swift]

bad, -0.14

[pallid ruin]

-0.14 can be fixed by just playing 14 scav raids (one extract is 0.01 rep), consider whether its worth resetting

yeah or that

[brazen swift]

wait, if i find a car in raid as scav it'll go up that quick?

[pallid ruin]

you need to use a vehicle extract as a pmc, you'll get 0.2 rep for the first one on each map

then 0.1 on the second one on each map etc.

basically imagine the car driver that extracts you is a scav and you pay him as your pmc so the rep goes up

[brazen swift]

oh ok, ill do few raid and exfill with that

maybe 3 times

[pallid ruin]

woods has a 100% spawn chance of the v-extract so i recommend going for that one

[brazen swift]

2 in GZ and 1 in Customs

thank you so much guys

[pallid ruin]

tbf i recommend taking the v-ext whenever possible under 6 scav rep, might as well level it up and get better scav rewards

np

[brazen swift]

it was so weird...i wasnt killing scavs as scav and i couldnt wrap my head around it

[pallid ruin]

yeah mark of the unheard is the cause, it was obvious to me when you messaged about it 12hrs ago

but well it is what it is, couldnt answer you properly lol

[brazen swift]

of the item?

yes, give me a miunte

[pallid ruin]

basically -0.05 rep for killing a scav unless you kill a pmc in the same raid

imo dogass item

[brazen swift]

yep, it says that, not specifically about not killing scavs but it is hinted that you have to avoid killing scavs if they dont agro

[pallid ruin]

from google

np

[brazen swift]

so yes, kind of useless itam if you ask me

[pallid ruin]

yep lol

[brazen swift]

the idea of pmc is to kill scavs

[pallid ruin]

not only do you lose 0.05 rep for killing a scav, you get less xp for killing a scav, and now you have to differentiate between scavs and pmc's or else you'll lose scav rep - and you get what? not being shot at by a scav, which aren't the main threat in games anyway lmao

[brazen swift]

anyway, i really apprciate your help guys

[pallid ruin]

np

[brazen swift]

nailed it

[pallid ruin]

yeah the cherry on top

[brazen swift]

and BTW scavs try to kill you anyway

[pallid ruin]

now, if it had something like "doubles the rep gained for co-op extracts and vehice extracts as a pmc", that would make some type of sense to run it

[brazen swift]

the item is useless

[pallid ruin]

but in the end, this ^

[brazen swift]

not only useless..it is fucking bad

[pallid ruin]

tbf at least its not overpowered, that would make it a shitstorm because of how expensive unheard edition is

[unique hornet]

[wary wasp]

While people pick up a silinced kedr?

For the insurance that is why i am asking

[unique hornet]

most ppl wouldnt tbh

i have like 6 or 7 in my insurance

[wary wasp]

tbh what does that mean?

[unique hornet]

to be honest

[bold kernel]

how can i make this match the quest

[unique hornet]

do you have the workbench unlocked in stash?

[bold kernel]

no

[unique hornet]

do you have flea?

[bold kernel]

no

[stiff cape]

read the wiki

[unique hornet]

then it's going to be difficult

[stiff cape]

it tells you 100% what to use

[unique hornet]

he doesnt have workbench nor flea

[stiff cape]

he can still look for the items available via traders

[unique hornet]

unless he finds everything necessary he aint gna do it

true but realistically if he doesnt have flea, his traders arent high enough level for that

[stiff cape]

wiki says exactly every item

thats like the first one

pretty sure ya can pre flea

could be wrong, either way he needs to learn the use the wiki

[unique hornet]

yhyh

[bold kernel]

i use it just wondering if any traders sold anything that could make it match the task

[stiff cape]

yep, just depends if ya can purchase them yet from them

[unique hornet]

it also makes it slightly harder for him since he doesnt have weapon modding

[stiff cape]

the wiki lists the items 1x1....

[rustic socket]

Are bosses in pve 100% spawn rate?

[stiff cape]

he can use flea to search traders

[bold kernel]

there tier 1

[stiff cape]

flea still works for trader search

[unique hornet]

yhyh

[bold kernel]

ight

everything matches just not the space

oh the rail

https://medal.tv/games/escape-from-tarkov/clips/iiK4kLQIDnKRkME-j/d1337kyfmQQj?invite=cr-MSxDTWMsODY3MjM2MzIs can someone explain what the hell happened?

[stiff cape]

invisible mob bug

youre actively being shot you just of course cant tell besides the taking damage part

[sage hamlet]

So just run next time this happens?

[south tapir]

correct

[sage hamlet]

Alright, thank you guys

[thick spade]

it needs 1 more ergo, just use 6 round magazine for it

[obtuse wave]

it def has its issues but overall a solid map. plenty of loot spawns above ground and in the bunker plus raiders and potential boss. the pvp is really fun once you get the layout of the map down, the name of the game is constantly rotating and repeeking since there's so much cover to play with

[main rover]

did reserve raider spawns get decreased? never finding them

[obtuse wave]

i find them every other raid, i think ur luck is just bad. they can spawn in the bunker right off the bat, and if they aren't there if u hit power there's another chance they spawn, then there's the ones that might spawn with hermetic door when u press the button. not sure if armored train spawns them too or not

[main rover]

im tryna get the 40 kills and ive prolly done 20-30 raids

[obtuse wave]

wanna run it?

[main rover]

I had 7 in one raid but all the others have been shit

im on pve

[obtuse wave]

ah nvm

i think you can adjust the AI amount

[quiet island]

https://tarkov.help/en/quest/gunsmith-part-1
this one helped me

[main rover]

you can disable bosses, I think they patched the adjustment

[obtuse wave]

do you disable the boss?

[undone drum]

How does it go?

[main rover]

nope, modifying it is kinda stupid imo, just play the game as intended

[obtuse wave]

real

[main rover]

are the flea post limits new? like for certain items

dont even feel like selling stuff anymore

I always hoarded and then sold in bulk

and flipping wasnt really a problem, if anything it helped remove more money from the economy with high fees

[manic furnace]

should i play as pmc or scav because if i play as pmc i lose all the stuff because i suck at this game

[civic quest]

well if you do nothing but scav you won't be able to progress

playing pmc, dying and losing all your shit is just the gameplay loop of tarkov

[night junco]

Pmc when you don’t have scav, scav as often as you can while learning and stacking money. Scavs with pay for your pmc kits

And help u learn maps

All risk free

Or scav and then run those kits

[night junco]

Real

[manic furnace]

thanks to both😀

[civic quest]

you might want to check out scavving on interchange, you can sometimes find some goodies left in the kiba store since i rarely see it fully looted

iirc it has a spawn for most of the good guns in game

[undone drum]

Lets talk about how to improve your PMC game maybe? What are you struggling the most with?

[bold kernel]

yo i need tarcones director key wheres it at or where can i get

[undone drum]

Tarkov wiki is your best friend

[bold kernel]

and discord

[civic quest]

therapist ll1 barter

icegreen tea 2x crackers and squash spread

[bold kernel]

omfg

[undone drum]

Good boy, looked it up for him

[bold kernel]

can you buy ice green tea and squash

[bold kernel]

my eft kittens

[civic quest]

not that i know of but it should be pretty much everywhere

go to goshan on interchange there'll be like 10 of each

[bold kernel]

i cant learn a new map for tea

[misty moon]

is this trade worth?

[civic quest]

the restaurant thing on ground zero is pretty full of food spawns too

go check there maybe

[manic furnace]

well first of all I'm really bad at shooting that is probably the number 1 problem right now, i know some of the game mechanics and thats good but i dont know there is so much diffrent ammunitions and med items that my brain is not braining and overall there is so much stuff in the game that i dont know how to use. and I havent watched almost any tarkov videos

[bold kernel]

what building?

[civic quest]

the uhhhh

its connected to the kashpersky one iirc

[undone drum]

Just ask here

[civic quest]

opposite of tarbank i think

[civic quest]

there's a field guide series on the official tarkov channel go check that out

[bold kernel]

whats tarbank itsnot on map

can you point?

[undone drum]

Being able to shoot accurately is not as important as moving and map knowledgw

[civic quest]

yeah one sec

[bold kernel]

fax

[undone drum]

Post a clip of you fighting a scav and let me point to your mistakes

[bold kernel]

ill just go to the supermarket on interchange

as scav as there no risk

wait interchange doesnt have interactive map?

[civic quest]

you can see if you're under tarbank if you see a double door that was blown open

that's the underground entrance
