beginners-assistance

[upbeat elk]

Together with doors and other glass

That patch was so bad

[keen stirrup]

Anyone wana play?

[tribal nebula]

What type of ammo would you recommend to use if I wanted to also pen through glass

[mint light]

dont let starvin marvin or whatever see this

[upbeat elk]

As i said, i havent played for a while and they changed how the glass works, so i cant really comment on how well what goes through now.

Before it was just high dmg + high pen rounds. Basically m62/80s, CBJs, Hybrid

[upbeat elk]

Man, you're going to trigger my PTSD

[mint light]

lol

[upbeat elk]

I still dont know if he was legit special or if he was rage baiting me. But if he was baiting me, god damn did it work.

[tribal nebula]

I might try with ppbs to start with, gonna try out those rounds you just listed after to see if it still works as well

[mint light]

i think ppbs is like the last bullet id bring to labs

[upbeat elk]

It should be easier to pen the glass now and do dmg. They probably reduced the needed pen + the dmg reduction.

But thats just my thoughts with 0 testing and playing

[elfin elm]

somebody was saying the spear was a bad gun earlier

[tribal nebula]

Its either that or BS/PS as I have nothing else

[mint light]

low dmg on labs is no bueno

too many surfaces to pen and cant one shot raiders

[tribal nebula]

I guess Ill just have to buy CBJ then, 2k a round on flea atm

Thats something I can do

[vital cove]

nah 7.62 PS works just fine, i ran it in a mutant and finished the event task in 5 hours

[tribal nebula]

Ill try that out first then

I wonder if I can get away with just an AK then or sks

[upbeat elk]

Wipe should be just around the corner. No reason to save your roubles for next wipe.

[tribal nebula]

Ah I should change my name to reflect that im a PVE enjoyer

[vital cove]

nah it shows your play experience its fine, people just need to ask

[upbeat elk]

Then you shouldnt really worry about penning black/green lol

[vital cove]

wait you can pen black and green windows now

[upbeat elk]

You can for a long time (years)

[vital cove]

i had a raider shooting the glass but it didnt go through it so i thought it was still BP

[vital cove]

shit thanks for the tip

[upbeat elk]

We just had a convo about it, just scroll up a bit

[vital cove]

ahh true, my bad m8

[tribal nebula]

I cant rly fight, sometimes even struggle on basic scavs which means raiders are even worse, so on events like this I like to find ways to cheese it out hahaha

I enjoy tarkov for the looting and exploring experience and some basic gun fights, couldnt do pvp cause of people running and jumping and here I am accidently double tapping my melee button when im trying to crouch LOL

[upbeat elk]

Raiders are extremely easy to cheese. You just slow lean and pixel peek them on a right hand peek. Once they aggro you, you dont peek the same corner for about 5s, so they de-aggro.

I literally had a 500 KD on pve.

[night junco]

If you input the wrong keys and they are to close together don’t give up. CHANGE the binds

[upbeat elk]

How many hours you got in those 5 wipes?

[night junco]

Even someone with potato aim can play smart and do well in pvp

It’s all ab your style of play you choose that fits you best

[tribal nebula]

Ill try this out

[tribal nebula]

Yea Im still slowly changing my binds based on what I encounter, just changed my check malfunction and fix malfunction to press and release cause the standard L key was too far

[tribal nebula]

Not alot I dont think, first few wipes I only ever played to around mid level 20's
Last wipe I played to late 20's
Pve now and I just cracked 30s for the first time but now I need to learn lighthouse/streets as I am a customs and interchange enjoyer hahaha

[tribal nebula]

I cant do well in direct gunfights nor long range engagements but I guess most of my pvp kills was just me either ratting or just flanking for a side kill

[upbeat elk]

Yeah, thats why saying how many wipes you got doesnt really tell anything about experience. A guy that has played a full wipe will have much more experience than a 4-5 wiper that has never really gone above lvl 30.

That's why you also struggle, you quit fast and in those 4 wipes you probably havent learned much. Tarkov takes time.

[night junco]

You can learn to do one or the other or both. 1 step at a time

[night junco]

Got a buddy it’s his 1st wipe. Solo level 68

Like an 8kd

[vital cove]

i got a few tips for the pve side, AI are dumb, they always voice line before shooting, use that to your advantage when tracking positions, use nades to make them move to spots better for you to take fights, and even raiders miss a shot or two before getting accurate, you have about 3 seconds to react or move before you get lasered with the AI

[night junco]

Fighting ai could be compared to learning “souls like” patterns. They always do the same shit

Imo

[tribal nebula]

Yea always ended up quitting cause im not a hardcore player, iirc I think first few wipes I quit during the setup mission trying to get kills with the mp153 shotty and I get bodied by a bloke and his mates all in fort armor HAHAHA but I very much enjoy the PVE mode now and it kinda allows me to learn maps more etc

[night junco]

You can play pvp and not do quest, if u don’t want to do them don’t. If it’s fun just killing people and taking there gear and buying stuff off flea, that’s totally viable if you ok with the disadvantages. Just a trade you have to decide if your willing to make or not

[tribal nebula]

Ah I was doing quest line to try to unlock better gear cause imo Tarkov pvp was for most ppl unless theyre just gods at aiming its mostly gear based

[night junco]

You just gotta know where to shoot with the gear/ammo u have. U can leg and arm ppl all of wipe if you wanna

Leg meta requires no aim

Just positioning

Sometimes u don’t even gotta position right. Just blast em

Ppl are human. They make errors

Capitalize on them

[upbeat elk]

"its mostly gear based" is insanely wrong. It only stands correct when 2 people fight who have noodle arms and their aim is all over the place. Anyone with decent aim will completely destroy someone who cant aim, regardless of gear.

[elfin elm]

yes

[upbeat elk]

But still, gear definitely gives you an advantage and if you want to pvp, you should do the tasks to unlock better gear.

[elfin elm]

bunch of top tier PVP players basically have the mind set "I don't really need armor, I'd play the same anyways"

but run good gear often cus it still helps

[tribal nebula]

Yea but thats my point, im not a god at pvp hence why I like gear as I believe it helps me

[night junco]

Headphones > armor

If I can only take one. I’m taking my ears

[night junco]

But that’s an acquired skill, you haven’t played enough to stretch that muscle

[elfin elm]

personally, if I could only take 1 thing, I'd take the gun lmao

[upbeat elk]

Ofc youre not, when you havent played really

[elfin elm]

but yeah headphones are better than almost any other kind of kit

[night junco]

I meant out of the two

But ye I want a gun

[elfin elm]

lol, ye

[night junco]

Ab 300 hours, that’s not a lot of time for a game like tarkov even if it sounds like alot. Most seasoned players have 300 hours on an individual map at least. My best pvp map is customs and most of my time in game was on the map

[upbeat elk]

300hrs is like half of a wipe realisticly

[night junco]

Drop me on another map and my pvp isn’t near as good

[upbeat elk]

And if thats spread between 5 wipes, it basically means you dont hold any of the improvements you made, since you have huge breaks inbetween

[night junco]

^ real

I had ab 1200 hours b4 this wipe, came back late and had to shake off the rust, took a bit

[tribal nebula]

Yea dw ik, games like this requires alot of time and dedication to learn and improve on trust me I know since I got over 8k hours on dota and climbed really high there xd

the only things I kinda know atm in Tarkov is just mainly the entry level quests otherwise yea

[night junco]

Practicing pvp fundamentals would probably make learning new quest more enjoyable 🤷‍♂️. If you haven’t looked at yt videos on the topic and practiced some of that in an offline or just in raids I definitely would. There’s plenty of great players that you can make a general template of there style and then learn from it. Don’t gotta reinvent the wheel, just pick it up

If you wanted to play pvp that is

Desmondpilak, trey24k, wic, sheef, glorious, nogenerals. So many good ppl u can just steal moves from

[tribal nebula]

Yea I just started watching a bit of Sheef and Gigabeef

[elfin elm]

gigabeef is very info heavy, but far from a pvp god

sheef is above average, but again not the best around

[night junco]

Yeah great information to know, not a lot that’s going to improve your gameplay

[night junco]

I think his play style is great for people that wanna get their feet wet with PVP though

[elfin elm]

once you know the stuff they cover, it's mostly conversation pieces more than anything

[night junco]

Slow and calculating

[elfin elm]

airwingmarine is good for that

him and tower might be the most successful urban snipers I've seen in tarkov in a bit

not fantastic PvPers, but they have the postional knowledge

[night junco]

Trey24k was my main inspiration for pvp style when I started playing, then also started watching wic, taught me a lot.

[night junco]

Ye ik what u mean

[night junco]

I was watching him as a level 5 tho

[elfin elm]

no general's peaks are nasty, and desmond's jumps make me envious

[serene hatch]

any tips for learning ground zero? i gotta do my tasks there but i never know where i am

[night junco]

Ye I watch them aswell now

[elfin elm]

trey is somewhat entertaining, but most of his video bore me now

[magic pendant]

ay wassup, anyone got any tips on finding a tp200 tnt brick? i need one for my hideout but i dunno where to look lol

[elfin elm]

grenade cases

[night junco]

Ye, his pvp is nasty tho. His rotations I like a lot, especially in buildings. Helped me bring a lot of apex skills over

[vital cove]

NoGenerals is where its at if you want a pvp god

[magic pendant]

aight ty, ill keep on looking

[elfin elm]

👍

[night junco]

No gen is good, but he lacks the game experience of a lot of other players of his caliber. But ye definitely good player, he just came to the party late

Some of the things you see wic or willerz do no gen never does

Certain jumps and map knowledge things

Atleast from what I’ve seen

[elfin elm]

true, the truly devious flanks aren't quite in his reach

[night junco]

He could definitely do them, I think he just hasn’t explored that avenue of gameplay that much

[elfin elm]

but his basics to expand on are absolutely solid

[night junco]

His peaks go hard tho

[night junco]

So much so

[serene hatch]

anyone want to just chill and play? im not that great, dm me im level 2 i think

[night junco]

I love those devious rotations, takes me back to apex building fighting

I try to do them as much as I can

[elfin elm]

pve labs with the extra numerous raider spawns is the closest I get to that personally atm

rotating around a quarter of the map for a cheeky peak

[night junco]

[serene hatch]

i died and got my stuff back from insurance but all my mags and gun is empty now, is that normal?

[night junco]

Yes ammo does not come back

[serene hatch]

ugh too broke to be buying ammo

[night junco]

It can’t be insured

[night junco]

Want a kit?

[serene hatch]

i dont even know where to buy this ammo im only level 2 lol

i mean sure but ill probably lose it before the raids even over lol

[night junco]

Right click and “linked search” the gun u want ammo for. It’ll pull up all compatible things for that weapon. Then on the left side of your menu you can sort by Ammos

[serene hatch]

i dont have the flea market

[night junco]

It will show you trader things as well

You don’t need flea market to link search

[serene hatch]

the only ammo i can buy is absolute shit

its only level 1 pen

[night junco]

Welcome to tarkov

That’s low level traders

[serene hatch]

im gonna die to a scav anyway probably not even a person

i lost my stuff cause i died from being out of bounds on ground zero

i can never find myself on the map lmfao

[night junco]

Play offlines first. Get to a quest or two, get to an extraction at least once. Then try it in online

Offlines don’t count but u won’t lose stuff

[serene hatch]

i extracted once on ground zero and it was not the one i meant to extract at lol

[night junco]

So u can learn freely

[serene hatch]

im doing an offline ground zero right now actually lol

[slow grotto]

Lookup pestily map tutorial on YouTube he has tutorials for every map I think he made new ones for ground zero and stuff too but that’s what I usually recommend new players

[serene hatch]

wheres emercom station on ground zero?

i see checkpooint but not station

am i blind?

[slow grotto]

Same thing

[serene hatch]

how do i unlock jaeger

[night junco]

“Introduction” the quest

[serene hatch]

i dont have a quest called that

[night junco]

So look on the wiki and see what prerequisites are required

You get it very early

[slow grotto]

All you have to do is saving the mole from mechanic and than you get it

[serene hatch]

how do i get up there

[slow grotto]

You don’t

[serene hatch]

but ive seen people up there

[slow grotto]

You’ve seen sniper scavs up there

Atleast thag looks like the sniper scav rock it could be somewhere else

[serene hatch]

its the big rock on woods

[slow grotto]

Yeah it’s impossible to get on too

Top

[serene hatch]

whens the next wipe

and how do i check my scav rating

[solid hill]

look at the traders every trader has a reputatin of you (mostly for beginner its around 0. something) the one for scav reputation is fence

[serene hatch]

how low can i get it before they kill me

[solid hill]

everything below 0 as soon as you get into negative scavs will start killing you as a scav

[serene hatch]

oh okay

[night junco]

You have to hit ab -5 to get shot on site. Been a bad scav since day 1, I’m familiar with it @serene hatch

[blazing cedar]

Hello, if I have the prepare for escape edition and buy the arena along with it, will I get the xp in the normal tarkov?

[scenic lake]

Yes

[serene hatch]

why did tequila shoot me i didnt shoot him and my rep is negative

[blazing cedar]

Indeed?

[scenic lake]

Mhyes

[night junco]

If bosses are angry and you get close to them they don’t care if you’re a scav. Unless you have 6 fence rep

[solid hill]

oh realy? XD i never went into negative with scav

[night junco]

Then they won’t shoot you

[night junco]

Yes sir.

Until -5 you still play by the same rules as any other scav. Don’t shoot them and they don’t shoot you

[solid hill]

well you learn something new even after 8 wipes and theres still some poo poo there

[night junco]

[trim shadow]

do you need a key to get into the scientists room on ground zero?

[placid tree]

for the harddrive quest?

[trim shadow]

yes

[placid tree]

if so yes

[trim shadow]

where do you find the key

[merry swift]

Yea, it's on the body that lies in one of the corridors on the ground floor

The wiki has a good walkthrough

[trim shadow]

is it on a random body?

[merry swift]

No its always on the same one

100% spawnrate, body is at the end of the corridor under some rubble

[elfin elm]

don't even need the key

[tribal nebula]

Sometimes someones opened the door for you

you just need to runup to the body for the subquest

[elfin elm]

you can get in by vaulting onto the windowsill and shooting out a window even

the key is semi redundant

[trim shadow]

in the room to the left to it?

[elfin elm]

yep

there's like a sofa or something you can use to boost you to the ledge

[trim shadow]

thank you

[serene hatch]

whats object LOD quality? is it worth having it on 4?

are these good settings?

i have a ryzen 7 7800x3d and a 7900xtx

for specs

[fervent raft]

Its like rendering distance basically

You have a slappin pc so Its probably worth for you to have on

[serene hatch]

so the higher it is the further i’ll see at good quality?

[fervent raft]

You Can test your fps with low and High

[serene hatch]

i was thinking that looking far distances looks awful lol

[fervent raft]

My pc sucks so i cant go High on it

[fervent raft]

Yes

[serene hatch]

crankin that shit up 😭

[trim shadow]

did not know there was a random landmine in one room

[scenic lake]

Classic

[warm shore]

Sorry for the newbie question - if I have a gun with low durability can I buy a particular part to replace to improve the durability / reset it back to 100%, or do I need to buy a whole new gun?

[night junco]

Varies based on gun. A lot of guns you can just replace the upper tho and it will refresh durability

Some you cannot tho

[scenic lake]

You can buy base gun with no attachments and just switch them over

It shouldn't cost more then 30k

[warm shore]

It's an SR-25 if that helps

[orchid elm]

You replace the lower

Lowers are considered "The Gun" in tarkov

[warm shore]

Ahh okay, I did try the upper receiver trick with it but didn't work

[orchid elm]

I think there mighr be an sr25 lower on mechanic?

And there's a fairly cheap gp coin barter on ref if you're on pvp

[serene hatch]

what would you recommend?

[fervent raft]

If you dont tank frames go for High lod

[serene hatch]

i don’t think it’ll really effect my fps, i just want to be able to see far and it not be all blurry and mushy looking

not really sure what fsr is i kind of just cranked everything tbh

[edgy plover]

@tiny orbit
Check out the timmy that started today
Might be my biggest success story lol, he had those 3 deaths before I hopped in with him and we had insane luck

[astral glen]

Capybarnia approves these settings

[edgy plover]

I've run into that type before and this guy wasn't one

we just had several raids where scavs fed themselves to us for ages

and the PMC's we ran into were very dumb

[hollow flame]

Yoo i need some help

i got 2k hours but i still dont know how to make cash

[scenic lake]

Just loot and don't die lol

[night junco]

Learn a money run on a map u like

[undone drum]

Scav on lighthouse

[night junco]

Pmc lighthouse 👀

[undone drum]

Not as safe as scav imo

[merry swift]

Also not as much money as a scav tho

[night junco]

Eh, but u can make more money, and run at night

I like it

[undone drum]

True!

[night junco]

I like my safe and hillside keys

[merry swift]

For scavs its probably easier to loot the compound but chalet is going to be picked clean by the time scavs come in

[night junco]

Ye I stay away from camp 90% of time

I Just go to the chalets and hillside and adjacent buildings

[merry swift]

Same

Depending on spawn

[night junco]

6-10 min runs ez money

[merry swift]

Only if I get the spawns behind the compound I'll take a trip through it

[night junco]

I just go for fun and to pvp the ppl trying to kill rouges fr

[hollow flame]

ik all that stuff i will get around a mil and just buy a kit and lose it next raid

[merry swift]

I find that over half the raids the PMCs just leave the rogues alone

[undone drum]

Is your problem not getting money or survival in PvP?

[night junco]

This is tru, I go over there for pvp if I hear them firing a pmc weapon

[night junco]

It sounds like he probably plays to aggressive in PVP for his own good

Deciding when to fight is also just as important as when to not fight

[merry swift]

Sometimes I'll go into the hills and plink at pscavs running through the camp though

That is quite funny

[night junco]

* takes out legs* “gl hobbling to extract fella”

[merry swift]

Yea and you do get to look at your own wildlife documentary through your scope

They assume betrayal, always

Same whenever an airdrop comes in, always pscavs running for it and circling around eachother to see who will betray

Sometimes you gotta tap em in the leg to help get things going

[night junco]

Your a menace

[undone drum]

Talk to me brother

[night junco]

So you know how to make money, but have trouble surviving raids?

[bold kernel]

I am coaching tarkov for free in PVP

[night junco]

You don’t have to take every engagement thrown your way. No shame in playing safe and taking smart fights

[undone drum]

@hollow flame its your chance bro

[hollow flame]

Both

I mean making 300k a raid aint gonna cut it

[undone drum]

Get in contact with the guy above and have fun, getting gud 😃

[undone drum]

500k a raid is my guaranteed scav on lighthouse run

[night junco]

I do 700-1m avg on pmc if not awful spawns

Sometimes it do be tarkoving you tho

[hollow flame]

a mil damn bro

[night junco]

Typically I’ll have an lbcr and takedown

Fill every slot

The loothouse does bless us up

I would take a bigger bag but my strength isn’t very high and I wanna move fast

Typically enough slots to hold all the valuable items I’ll find and then a little bit else

Extra

[latent cipher]

i need a fast way to level my attention skill

does the trick still work where you search your buddies bag over and over again?

[night junco]

I don’t think you can do it over and over. But if you’re running with a duo yeah you can swap bags and then search it for attention, if you didn’t alr get the xp cap for the skill in a raid

[hollow flame]

U dont get pmcs in ur raids or what

[night junco]

1/10 I do

I do night runs lighthouse

[latent cipher]

so we cant pick it up and move stuff around and search it again?

[night junco]

I’m not exactly sure about that, I run solo most the time

[latent cipher]

ah

i know it was a thing awhile back

yea idk how imma get it to level 51 for elite

[night junco]

U wanna see my loot route? I’ll dm a vid I have of me running it

[hollow flame]

Sure

[hollow flame]

Like last year i got my first 40 mil with playing on reserve on africans servers but got tired of doing that

[night junco]

I’m not scared of the pvp, I actually welcome it, but I don’t like getting shot from across the map during day lighthouse

[pallid ruin]

i got 60mil this wipe by running the btc farm + doing random intel scav case runs

lol

[hollow flame]

wtf how

[pallid ruin]

1mil a day profit from btc farm lvl2 + crafting, 30 days and you got 30mil

60 days and you got 60mil

[night junco]

I got in super late this wipe, played for ab a month now and I got 30m just playing the game. No hideout since end of wipe rlly. Didn’t bother

[pallid ruin]

wipe is how long now, 200 days or so? so if u got it in 2nd month youd still get over 100mil

btc farm is literally a free money hack

[pallid ruin]

And I went streets and lighthouse 10 times total*

so its not a "2mil per raid on streets wow!" either

[hollow flame]

how much does it cost

[fervent raft]

Lvl 2 is 25 gpus and some random hideout stuff

Psus and shit

You Can check it on wiki

[merry swift]

Feel like thats accurate as an average. There are so many high value spawns that are easily accessable. I run daytime because I like being able to see but any time you spawn near chalet it's time to fill your bag. If you have the keys, those are good too.

Hotel is okay, spawns on roadside or south side beach I just reset through roadside exfil

If you find a single bitcoin that's already near a mill

[turbid onyx]

how can i determine what to keep and what not to keep in here ?
\

[stiff cape]

wiki has list for hideout and quest needs

besides that will take time learning

[stark arch]

allright

Is having 2 junk boxes too much ?

yeah ill buy another one then

[warm nacelle]

2 Junks is good option

You can even use 3-4 of them if you can speculate and manipulate the market price when there is no FiR limitations

1-2 for normal gameplay, 3-4 if you wanna earn money by simply juggling items on market, manipulating the price. This way you dont even have to go money runs if you are starting with 5mil+ budget

[paper veldt]

i have a question im quite new to tarkov got about 40 hours in im doing a survival daily task to extract on factory at cellars with the key ive done it once but ive tried doing it 2 more times and it hasnt tracked is it because it was a run through if so how do i prevent this

ok thanks

[hollow flame]

I would sell since almost wipe

[stark arch]

Yeah but I was asking for général knowledge

[lucid valve]

I have just started the game about an hour ago and am quite possibly the worst player to have ever played the game. Enjoying figuring stuff out though, slowly but surely

[valid spear]

this game is so hard for new players

i think alot of ppl use 'performance enhancing programs' to keep up because of it

[odd sail]

where can you find gas analyzers? i litterally cannot find one

[keen spoke]

It doesn't want to verify me

On my phone it does but not on pc

Any suggestions

Ive waited 30min on it and still no results as well

i tryed even a diffrent browser

i hotspoted from my phone and still not

[lilac lion]

do i need to live to complete bp depot

[lilac lion]

do you have cookies enabled

reset your pc and web browser

[keen spoke]

Think i do

[keen spoke]

Tryed it

[summer cedar]

you need to survive and extract from the raid, but it doesn't need to be the same raid you planted the trackers in

so you could plant one tracker, die, then plant another and it still counts

[lilac lion]

ok so i can die everytime i plant one but just need to extract from customs once its done

[summer cedar]

but all that matters is that while doing the quest, you've successfully survived at least once from customs, even if you didn't plant any trackers that raid

[lilac lion]

alr thanks

[summer cedar]

precisely

[lilac lion]

makes this alot easier

[lusty raptor]

Labs is literally impossible to play

lol cheaters

[fervent raft]

its just not that bad 🙂

[lusty raptor]

running head tap to a 25 hour white name account with 6 kd. Ok.

[slow grotto]

bro played one raid and is loosing it

[valid spear]

as i said in the pve chat-- with pve now, alot of legit players are splitting their time, so there is a disproportionate amount of cheaters now in pvp mode

[fervent raft]

If you loose it over getting cheated on once you cant play any multiplayer games

[west blaze]

I am new look for a team

[undone bridge]

Hello, a friend bought the Pve upgrade 5 days ago and just upgraded from the basic edition and to the "prepare to escape" edition . Bonus are available in PVP but not in PVE , how can he get some help. Thx !

He doesn t have the unheard edition . he had the basic one , then bought the PVE extension. we played 5 days in pve . Just today he upgraded to the prepare for escape

In pvp mode all lines and stuff has been added , but not in PVE mode

does he just need to wait or does he need to wipe his PVE character

[stiff cape]

prob try waiting?

as is thats whats recommended for most of those issues

[undone bridge]

ok thx 👍

ok thx for the tip

[lucid valve]

I'm finding Tarkov a bit like playing Golf, it's incredibly frustrating failing time after time but there's just something about it that makes you want to go back one more time and see if you can crack it

[digital sentinel]

hello can someone explain to me why every time i loot a body in a raid the icons of guns/items and even clothing stuff take so long to load? its very anoying to inspect every item trying to see if i want to take it or not

[trim shadow]

searching?

[digital sentinel]

like when i open something to loot items. the icon of the items takes very long to load. its just a contant loading icon

like this shit

[lusty agate]

greetings giga chads...please tell me how to delete old messages from traders....i gout like 25 billion old messages...even if i clear the message...it all comes back at the next nerw message..thanks

[icy sphinx]

Heyy, is there a way to download the game as a torrent? (ORIGINA VERSION). It's just that the launcher downloads the game at 600KBs while I can download any other games from steam or other launchers at 6.7MBs

[slow grotto]

your downloading from russian servers so it just takes a while

[icy sphinx]

that's more than 10 hours at that speed. My friends always download it fast af. Just with me, it downloads at 10% my internet speed for some reason

[slow grotto]

just not optimized i download slow asf as well

[tulip kettle]

is eft ammo website more accurate teh the ingame pen armor stat?

[slow grotto]

there the same

as far as i know

if anything i would trust the game since its straight from the devs

[tulip kettle]

In game it shows SPP has a very low chance of penninng t4 but on eft it says eft has 5/6 rating to pen t4

idk

[slow grotto]

weird

i would trust the ingame stat

[tulip kettle]

It does same with all ammos

all ammos on eftammo show better than in game

wasnt the old armor system just dif hitboxes?

[tardy crescent]

They did do some penetration stuff a couple updates ago so it is a bit different yeah

Im not too sure but I have noticed players being a bit tankier than usual after the last set of changes they did

[obsidian spoke]

do the goons take a bit to spawn in after the raid started?

[stiff cape]

no

[slow grotto]

thats what the update was, armor is better now

[bold kernel]

can people loot my wallet if i die>

[violet adder]

the case?

[bold kernel]

no in my inventory

[violet adder]

ppl cant loot what is in your stash

and when you die whatever is in your container is safe

[bold kernel]

so they can loot the wallet if i bring it

[violet adder]

if the wallted is in your containter, no

[bold kernel]

and if not yes?

[violet adder]

anything not in container can be looted

[bold kernel]

what about spec slots

[violet adder]

cant be looted

[bold kernel]

ok

[bold kernel]

uhhh pve scavs/pmcs are gigacracked?

[odd hamlet]

Hey, new to tarkov. I'm playing PvE right now and I've got no clue which scavs are friendly and which aren't. I walked infront of this scav and for like 6 seconds nothing happened, but then it spoke its russian line, turned its flashlight on and just 1 tapped me..
why do they stare at you and not shoot, but you go to loot and then they shoot
note, this was during scav raid and I have positive rep with all traders. This scav just stared at me, let me walk by thinking it was all good then boom, dead
are you just supposed to KoS everything in the entire server or what

I get it's supposed to be hard, but 14/15 times i've loaded in as PMC or scav I've been 1 tapped by everything on PvE. I don't even get to see them. I spent my entire starting cash making sure I had atleast grade 3 armor and good helmets etc

I just want to know why the bad guys delay like 5 seconds before shooting, making it seem like they're friendly. If this is intentional game design, then tbh it seems poorly thought out.

Dead game, No help?

This is the official tarkov disc, right?

[grand pelican]

If you negetive fence reputation or "trader standing" scavs will shoot you on sight while you are playing as a scav, when you're playing as a pmc shoot everything you see, nothing is friendly besides zyrachi but that doesnt really count.

And yeah this is the official disc

[odd hamlet]

I already pointed this out, but thank you for mentioning it

[grand pelican]

Oops I forgot about that part

[odd hamlet]

I guess im going to call this $100 a waste of money anbd move onto the next game.

[grand pelican]

Did you pass by a boss during that raid?

[odd hamlet]

GG whoever these devs are. Hope to not see another game made by them

[grand pelican]

Nevermind i guess, goodluck with your other games.

[valid spear]

cant get a refund?

but yeah, i was mentioning yesterday that this game cant survive in modern times.

[tidal lagoon]

it will survive because there is no real competitor

[mint light]

sometimes ai pmcs dont attack instantly they can be a little buggy
ai guards and bosses will typically not attack you for a while in an attempt to warn you to leave or they will kill you

usually u will get a hand gesture

[river rampart]

there are no refunds

[stiff cape]

may have been a guard? but if youre gonna giveup that easily and blame the game tarkov def isnt for you prob

PvE mode also amped up at the moment for AI

ppl complained too easy so now ya got the inverse

not sure how ppl spend good chunk of money on a complicated game they seem to put no research into

[valid spear]

there are .. but ppl like comfort games. no one forgets their first extraction shooter rush

[stiff cape]

i refused to get tarkov for few years knowing i didnt have the time to commit to learning

[valid spear]

hell--ppl still play Maple Sttory

[tidal lagoon]

such as

[stiff cape]

once i did was no lookin back

(there isnt)

[valid spear]

hunt showdown, day z, rust

[vestal acorn]

hunt showdowns good alternative

[stiff cape]

oh no

[valid spear]

and arena breakout i guess

[stiff cape]

none of those do what tarkov does

[valid spear]

hunt is pretty fun but has a cheater problem too

[vestal acorn]

hunt showdown scratches the same ich tho

[stiff cape]

i mean, kinda?

[tidal lagoon]

havent actually played hunt but ye dayz and rust both great but absolutely not the same

[valid spear]

bruh. Nikita isnt some dev of the year genius

[stiff cape]

its still not a good comparison

[tidal lagoon]

similar player bases but no so much similar games

[stiff cape]

i didnt say so?

[valid spear]

i thought battlefield was doing an extraction mode but im not sure

[stiff cape]

wow guys tarkov is unqiue in its own right i musta have said nikita is a dev genius

concept of the game is amazing 100%

[tidal lagoon]

cod tried that, i thought they were gonna cook with DMZ but they made the most casual game on the planet instead

[stiff cape]

but the guy saying that as a rebutle is so off base

no companys brave enough to invest in what tarkovs created

would take a ton of resources and time

^

[vestal acorn]

nikita already has enough money for a new mansion so he's set for life already

[tidal lagoon]

yea

it would be me and even more if i didnt quit

[vestal acorn]

haven't had a single elite skill in my ~1000 hours lol

maybe metabolism?

[stiff cape]

seasonal rpg. elite skills are meant for those who invest the time and effort

i dont expect to clear lvl 100 dungeons or w/e in diablo seasons

got to 90s though

[vestal acorn]

I legit have 14 strength 281 raids in

[stiff cape]

sounds about right

atleast if ya dont use the air filter

id imagine air filter woulda given ya few more levels if ran it as much as possible

[vestal acorn]

got this dude in my friendlist. level 42 in 206 raids LMAO.

faster than LVDNMARK raid to EXP wise 😂

[stiff cape]

ya thats around what you should have if you rush it

low to mid 200s is efficient for max traders

[mint light]

my record was like 196. this wipe i did like 230s

[stark arch]

what are the hot ammo this wipe ? i heard 556 is not that good rn

[violet adder]

not commenting on if he is cheeto or not, but yeah ppl who speedrun should get there between 200-300 raids

[lone rune]

anyone have any tips for learning the maps faster?

[brisk wedge]

same boat. I find legit just playing helps. Play scav too its helped me a lot

[mint light]

.

[brisk wedge]

no risk and high reward (reward being whatever loot you get and knowledge gained through playing)

[mint light]

sp-6, hybrid, m62. cbj aint bad either

everything else sucks pretty bad

[brisk wedge]

also I've found using the sun to tell what direction you're facing helps find extracts easier

[stark arch]

allright

is sp6 the caliber for the as val ?

[stiff cape]

yes, FIR or craftable behind a decent quest chain

aka annoying to stock up on

[vestal acorn]

cant you buy them from prapor lvl4

in packs

[bold kernel]

Im so dead dude, im legit kniferunning because im broke on pve 😂😂😂😂

[mint light]

as val

[stiff cape]

not as bad as I remember for the quest chain but ya, not really accessible until youve done a decent quest chain. Im going to imagine that person is not close.

[cerulean cradle]

I just got a few good weapons from a raid what shall I do with them I have no ammo for them but they look quite pricey no flea market yet and running low on space any tips

[stark arch]

is using an armor repair kit give experience to the armorer perk or smt ?

[abstract bluff]

what is the best fov

[stark arch]

i use 59, its the same as the locked fov in cs go

its the equivalent of 90

[white escarp]

yo can anyone help me with a task on customs

bad rep from prapor

[vestal acorn]

That’s painful

Devs just hate most smgs, and asval

[stiff cape]

atleast they made capturing outposts way more reasonable

alot of ammo was put behind later quests for just crafting only, guess that atleast allows trader purchase

[abstract bluff]

is tarkov better with high or low sensativity

[stiff cape]

lower, compared to most games

[abstract bluff]

i thought you want to be turning around

[stiff cape]

(im biased and have also used lower in nearly every FPS)

most higher skilled players use lower sensitivity in tarkov*

its good for precision aiming as tarkov is very specific on aiming and you also aim at distance more often

[abstract bluff]

so high DPS and very low sensativity for an overall low sensavity?

[stiff cape]

DPI seems to be a mixed bag cant speak to it i dont mess with it often

in the end find w/e works for you, some ppl even go as far to change their sensitivity depending on their loadout for the raid by a little

but youll be annoyed when ADSn at a decent range with higher sense

gear can have modifiers like this

[abstract bluff]

oh

[stiff cape]

i will say its not common ppl change their sensitivity around for loadouts, but it happens

and gear loadouts is noticeable

[abstract bluff]

and do those skilled video game players in escape from tarkov tend to use low fov as well

[bold kernel]

can anyone tell me whats wrong? gunsmith 17

[stiff cape]

typically they use a lower FOV

low 60ish

[abstract bluff]

are high fov still buged?

[stiff cape]

dunno, one of the best uses high FOV

[bold kernel]

figured it out

wrong grip has to be od not fg

[stiff cape]

🫡

[abstract bluff]

does mouse acceleration gets turned off in the video game escape from tarkov?

[cerulean cradle]

I just got a few good weapons from a raid what shall I do with them I have no ammo for them but they look quite pricey no flea market yet and running low on space any tips

[pallid ruin]

if you wont run them and cant hoard them for flea, sell them

[cerulean cradle]

If I post a pic can u tell me best one too sell

[pallid ruin]

you can always partially disassemble them to gain a couple of slots of space but unless its the 6.8 spear it aint worth it

[pallid ruin]

sure

[velvet egret]

Sell

[valid spear]

you cant flea weapons from ppl in raid tho

[velvet egret]

Yes you can

[cerulean cradle]

I also dk what a gold weapon is

[pallid ruin]

1 - you can - 2 you can always find weapons on raiders etc

[velvet egret]

It was repaired by someone with max repair level and got a small buff

[pallid ruin]

^

[velvet egret]

Oh the TT gold is reshalas pistol

[velvet egret]

Sell g36 rd and the aks. Bad guns lol

[pallid ruin]

tbg as ugly as they look with those attachments (no drip at all), id say keep the good scopes, grips + silencers and sell the rest if you cant run them with decent ammo

[pallid ruin]

this in general, yes

[velvet egret]

If you can buy mcx it’s better than all those guns

Hk416 is fun tho

[cerulean cradle]

Sell east keep western weapons

[cerulean cradle]

I have a mcx.300 blk is that similar

[velvet egret]

Yes mcx is good

Get bcp fmj ammo if you can

[cerulean cradle]

At the moment in it is had 43 rounds off .300 black out ap

[velvet egret]

That works also

[cerulean cradle]

Thank u for ur advice abzv one more thing

Where is the key for the van too get the watch on customs

[velvet egret]

You can see how good ammo is at eft-ammo dot com

[cerulean cradle]

Thank u

[velvet egret]

Look it up on the wiki it’s in a little house

[cerulean cradle]

Thank u again

[velvet egret]

Np good luck.

Customs is going to be hell this late in wipe try not to get discouraged

[cerulean cradle]

Tbf I have been doing ok I do play like a rat tho but what ever gets the loot

[velvet egret]

There’s no wrong way to play

[valid spear]

i like customs.. compared to other maps where you can loot heavy bags then die to an extract camper.. customs is a good balance

[main monolith]

just getting into the game like total playtime of 40 mins not really sure what to do or anything like that

[tropic geyser]

watch some youtube beginner tutorials they will explain quests and progression and give you an idea of what your goals should be and what to try to accomplish

[main monolith]

alright

[robust panther]

before you worry about quests or loot, try to pick a map and extract successfully

you can find maps online to help with this

also another skill you need to get good at is spotting people from far away, that will save you a lot of headache

[serene hatch]

is emercom station and emercom checkpoint the same thing on ground zero?

[bold kernel]

yes

[valid spear]

do you have PvE or arena mode?

[main monolith]

Uh it's just the basic version whatever that one is?

[valid spear]

oh. without PvE mode, its gonna be tough

esp this late wipe

[main monolith]

Okay, any setting that would help with that? Cause I come from similarish games to tarkov, just did my first extract successfully

[main monolith]

Honestly just trying to pick it up and learn the game ya know

[robust panther]

there are a few of them, id mess around with post fx or check out a tutorial

[main monolith]

Okay, I figured I had a friend like kinda tell me about that

[cosmic wedge]

Spent the weekend working on learning as much as I can on Tarkov. Got familiar with the SKS, which I heard is a good beginner weapon. Is there a good rapid fire weapon I can start learning next?

[night junco]

Any 545 ak, mp5, ump, mpx

I wouldn’t really say you need to learn weapons in tarkov. The recoils random

You can pretty much pick up anything full auto or not, and the only thing that’s really going to change how it feels is the ergonomic and recoil stats of the weapon which are affected by modding

[cosmic wedge]

gotcha gotcha. makes sense. just seems like im having a hard time at close range combat with the sks so im looking for something faster for those situations

[valid spear]

kedr best gun for beginners

[serene hatch]

what guns take 5.45x39 ps gs ammo

[opaque osprey]

some of the ak's

like ak-74m

[serene hatch]

thx

[opaque osprey]

you can always link serch ammo if that helps

[fallen bolt]

has anyone ever had their account reset to a previous level causing a loss of gear and level?

can this be caused by playing arena for the first time?

[stark arch]

is there a way to run 45 acp suppressed ?

[elfin elm]

.45 acp? yes, pretty much every .45 gun has access to a suppressor

usually it requires you swapping the barrel for a threaded one, and sometimes you need a thread-to-suppressor adapter as well

[stark arch]

oh, i may have not looked enough for the usp 45

yeah it may be that, ill check

[elfin elm]

there's only two .45 suppressors, and they attach mildly different

[stark arch]

yeah i needed another barrel for a suppresor

thanks

[elfin elm]

👍

ump is fun, shame it falls off pretty early on

[night junco]

Used ump just a few times this wipe and it never let me down. Ol reliable

Late wipe too, winthin the last 30 days

[elfin elm]

recoil being super controllable is nice

really the akm series should act more like the ump tbh, lol

[stiff cape]

[waxen yoke]

you im just wondering if anyone can inform me if my computer can run tarkov its a ROG Zephyrus g14 with 16gb of ddr5 4800mhz ram

[night junco]

Yes, ppl play on way worse

[valid spear]

whats the GPU? intergrated?

[night junco]

Every one of those laptops of any model I see online at least had a 40 series card

But I could’ve just not dug deep enough

[stiff cape]

oof, id be careful runnin tarkov on laptop to not burn out its life time

CPU go brrr for heat

[night junco]

^ set that thang on an ice pack

[opaque osprey]

play with it in the freezer

[night junco]

What ever works fr

The yt vids of CPU’s being over clocked with liquid nitrogen

[elfin elm]

my first time playing through ICO was during a heatwave summer, so to keep my ps3 from over heating and force shutting down I had to have it sitting on an icepack with a box fan pointed at it

[stiff cape]

whats ICO? ive def tempted fate in a high temp climate with AC out still playin some games but nothin too crazy. def feel contributed to some life time of hardware

my original ps3 also ran super heavy on its fans

[elfin elm]

ICO is an old ps2 game made by the same devs as shadow of the colossus

I was playing the remaster on my ps3 at the time

that game was pretty hard

[stiff cape]

ah the big boss fight games? always wanted to try those but never did

[elfin elm]

the devs just make great games

[serene hatch]

how long does it take for therapist to give me insured stuff back compared to the other guy

[opaque osprey]

dont think its much faster tbh

[elfin elm]

it's between 4 and 8 hours faster

if you have eod or unheard though it's not really worth it

[serene hatch]

i have the cheapest version lol

[elfin elm]

generally you just wanna use prapor's

[dreamy ether]

Hello, ive been playing for about a month now and have been hearing things about a wipe. when does it happen and how often? and is everything wiped or only certain things? ive been working hard to loot and its sad ill lose it.

[leaden cove]

Wiping means that the PVP and Arena game mode will be reset to 0 (like you just started playing)
This ussually happens every 6 months although rn we are going for 8 months
The PVE Mode does not wipe on its own

[dreamy ether]

thank you!

[leaden cove]

Wipes usually mean big updates so be excited for the changes to come ^^

[elfin elm]

true

[bronze zephyr]

hello anyone wants to teach me a little bit in a raid ?

[elfin elm]

bad timing, I'm off to bed

oof

[bronze zephyr]

ohh goodnight bro

[elfin elm]

also

??timmy

[red thistle]

If you're looking for teammates, you can head over to #beginners-assistance or #pvp-lfg.

If you're looking for a teacher/someone to guide you in-raid ; you can check out #sherpa-info. Sherpa’s official volunteers that will gladly teach you the game - They use a ticket system so there may be a tad bit of a wait time.

[elfin elm]

aight, peace

[stark arch]

do you guys have a list of important keys ? i have accumulated a lot rn

[scenic lake]

You should find alot of info about it on yt

[stark arch]

ok

[fervent raft]

Sell them and buy them back when you need them for quest

Thats how to do it, untill you remember which ones to keep

[spare crypt]

i keep getting connection lost

[unkempt egret]

Anyone got a good spot to find shampoo? Got a weekly for ten

[wary wasp]

What weapons would you use for Shoreline? For the peacekeeper quests. When you go to resort and what weapon when you don't have to go to resort. Keep in mind that i would like to do they quests early in wipe so lvl 1 traders probably.

[scenic lake]

SKS is solid

[unkempt egret]

You can save up quite a few shoreline quests to do multiple at once, quite a few require the use of specific weapons so prioritize those

Two birds one stone

[dense belfry]

Anyone able to help me with some quest I need to get at ground zero

[little zinc]

anybody wana play? looking for a duo or group to learn the game with

[grim obsidian]

I’m about to buy the game does it include arenas

Thank you I wasn’t sure, figured it would be smarter that way

[stark arch]

what are the best 1 to 6 times scopes ?

[scenic lake]

Vudu

[stark arch]

but isnt that super expensive ?

oh its fine actually

[stark arch]

but can i use it on a m4 or a dmr ?

[stiff cape]

yes

they need mounts

[stark arch]

should i sell this or is there a particular use to it ?

[stiff cape]

do you need money or a fancy melee weapon

[stark arch]

def money

[stiff cape]

we did it

[unkempt egret]

Strongest melee weapon available to players iirc, not that that is saying much since melee is crap
Probably best off flea marketing it

[north parcel]

i need help unlocking jager if anyone doesent mind

[vapid beacon]

Any shortcut button to move item out of the Scav Junkbox into the stash?

[opaque osprey]

you cant ctrl click them on yo your character then again in stash

[serene hatch]

i’m gonna upgrade my version, rn i have the base version, which would be good to upgrade to?

[elfin elm]

Do you have to pay vats ?

[serene hatch]

i’m not sure i’m in new york if it helps

[elfin elm]

You don't then

At least I don't think so

Vats adds additional tax for every transaction, so it makes lesp frogging editions more annoying

If you don't have to pay that though you can just go up one edition at a time whenever you want

[violet adder]

unheard tbh, the rest are pointless

[elfin elm]

Not true, they all give lil bonuses

[violet adder]

none of them are worth

[elfin elm]

Going from alpha to beta container is good

And getting the extra trader rep is also good

Admittedly most of the other additions besides those two are meh

Outside of unheard

But I'd say those two add ons are worth it to a degree

And of course there's always stash space

[west jewel]

wtf💀

is this a bug?

[bold kernel]

its a western weapon

so you have a task to submit it

but sometimes it gives it to weapons that arent low enough durabilty

you found it on a scav?

same thing here

insane quest tho btw do complete (72600k exp is insane before level 15)

[west jewel]

nah i found it on a PMC

[serene hatch]

that’s the most expensive one right

[elfin elm]

yep

[serene hatch]

how much is it if i already own the base edition?

[elfin elm]

it's always "price of new edition" - "price of old edition you have*

[serene hatch]

i can’t check from my phone to see how much it is cause i don’t know my password lol

[bold kernel]

just ignore it just cus you found in raid its not even low enough dura anyway

[serene hatch]

is it really worth $200?

i feel like 200 for a game is insane

[elfin elm]

not really

it just happens to have the couple of things that give the most long term benefit

like, most editions give better starter gear, but that shit's gone in like a week

so the only real bonuses are the stuff that sticks around

[bold kernel]

i think this is the only one id even consider buying because of the container upgrade

[serene hatch]

if i were to buy prepare to escape would it be $110-$250 since i spent $50 on the base and then $60 to upgrade slightly?

[violet adder]

yes super expensive but the others are so meh

feel like if you're upgrading you should go all the way or keep your money

[elfin elm]

trader rep is good too

eod players and unheard players start with enough rep to do no tasks and still get LL2 on all traders

[serene hatch]

i mean i want to get the best one but idk if it’d be the smartest purchase rn cause i need to save for college soon but if i buy a the prepare to escape one would it then be $110-$250?

[elfin elm]

and I think a few other editions get a bit of a bonus too

[bold kernel]

rich cunts

[serene hatch]

yeah what he said 😭

[violet adder]

ay fuck it you can always earn money back

[elfin elm]

lol, I'd just go up like 1 or two editions personally

[elfin elm]

are you asking it's original price, or how much you'd pay?

[serene hatch]

how much id pay if i bought the base for $50 and then prepare to escape for $60

[elfin elm]

the website is updated automatically to tell you

[serene hatch]

is it $110 - the $250 or is it just $60-$250 cause that’s the most expensive version i’d have

[elfin elm]

so you can just go check

[stark arch]

are ears actually that important to protect ?

there is a big price difference between a t4 with ears and without

[west jewel]

nope

[bold kernel]

bro why were there like 6 guards in 3 story dorms?

that upon entering the first door

they fucked me up in the end but like fuck me

[west jewel]

do i sell this?

[bold kernel]

is this pvp?

[west jewel]

Yes

[bold kernel]

you a unc

[west jewel]

its 150k but idk if its a quest item

[bold kernel]

not a beginner

[west jewel]

and its end wipe so im guessing i should sell it lol

[serene hatch]

i been selling everything and buying guns that look fun and not caring what happens 😭

[west jewel]

Haha

so true tho

[serene hatch]

what are the chances wipe is august 10th or later?

i quit my job and that’s my last day so i want to be able to grind 😭

[west jewel]

I think itll be before

idk tho

[stiff cape]

wiki tells you if a key is for quest. if not then up to you if youd use it for looting or not

[west jewel]

i sold it

[stiff cape]

👍

[west jewel]

also mechanic feels the most difficult to level up

[serene hatch]

buy hella shit

[west jewel]

i need lvl 20

[serene hatch]

buy literally everything

[west jewel]

buying everything is easy

[serene hatch]

i did it last wipe and my mechanic was a high level but i didn’t play a lot so it didn’t matter lol

[stiff cape]

none are that hard to level if ya just do your quests

[west jewel]

should i fix this or nah

[stiff cape]

get a cms

use a 5/5 splint in there

[west jewel]

alr

[serene hatch]

when i able to buy/craft cms

[west jewel]

oops

[bold kernel]

is this the same as the epsilon container?

[west jewel]

med station😭

[west jewel]

epsilon better

epsilon 4x2

[bold kernel]

oh yeah i see

[west jewel]

yup

[white escarp]

can anyone help me with the bunker task for prapor

[bold kernel]

whats that golden sta

[west jewel]

PK

why are people assholes like this bro

[bold kernel]

this game needs to fix its shitty spawns

on pve

holy shit theres either no one on the map or like 15 people in one room

[elfin elm]

boredom usually

[bold kernel]

whats a nice magnification scope on m4a1 on woods

[stark arch]

are these valuable ?

[elfin elm]

yes

[stark arch]

how much ?

i got a lot of valuable rn

[elfin elm]

at least 100k, and 189k

plus the second one you need for hideout stuff

[stark arch]

yeah i took them thxx

[bold kernel]

is bear harder to kill than usec

because it feels that way in pve

[west jewel]

LMAO

[bold kernel]

ive been going dorms and jesus bro

the diff is insane

also what knife do you need to collect for the punisher quest again

[stark arch]

is ear protection really valuable ?

on a t4 headgear ?

[brisk wedge]

can you wish list items you dont have access too? that way I can see in raid quickly if I need it?

[tidal lagoon]

yea u can find some items on flea and wishlist

[stark arch]

is a time 6 scope too much on ground zero ?

its a variable time one to time 6

[tidal lagoon]

1-6x is fine on any map except factory maybe

[abstract harness]

Personal preference, try and see if you like it

[brisk wedge]

i dont have flea so i guess that answers my question

[tidal lagoon]

can try the handbook

[brisk wedge]

oh that works, i didnt realize you could do that. awesome thank you

[tender basalt]

can anyone help im new i jus keep dying ive nopt extracted once

[tulip kettle]

how to unlock 70k razor?

[tidal lagoon]

cant

leftover from an event

[tulip kettle]

they needa to make like a vudu buy for like 70k from a lightkeeper quest

that means actual players who grind for it will deserve to get it at a lower price

[sudden pivot]

closest thing is doing tarkov shooter 8 and getting the barter

[tulip kettle]

thats like 6 fuel conditioner

which is even worse than the flea prices

[winter blade]

what key do i need for top floor of factory?

[spark marsh]

Factory emergency exit key

[night junco]

The fighting there is very formulaic once you understand it

Most ppl do ab the same 8 things

[hollow ivy]

DCan anyone tell me where the mfin westener scavs @

[night junco]

The events over, so you would have to kill raiders for those guns now I think, if you still need the low durability guns idk how you could get that now, without getting each gun in raid then burning the durability b4 leaving

[slender dew]

@hollow ivy @night junco is correct. Some scavs still have them but the durability is too high, youd have to burn enough ammo to lower it enough to finish that quest. But if you do, you won't get the further quests in the chain as event is over.

[grim obsidian]

I just downloaded the game and in the xsolla wallet when I click the virtual item download button it just keeps spinning

[turbid patrol]

I do the same

[night junco]

Do you just carry cheese in your pocket?

I’d rather have an ifak or afk in butt with bandage in pocket

[turbid patrol]

AI-2
Car First aid kit an some bullets

[night junco]

Also analgin is not it. Get a dang vasoline or golden star, ibuprofen. All my homies hate analgin

[indigo sequoia]

analgin ussless always sell

[night junco]

Like it’s so cheap why even keep it in your butt

[turbid patrol]

I played like 3 raids

[night junco]

Yeah but given that he wants to heal with cheese, The entire heal set up is for just minimizing cost

[merry swift]

Would recommend having (heavy) bleed meds in your pockets

The entire thing is being able to quickly stop the bleed while on the move

[night junco]

Real preferably the cat to stop it fastest

[merry swift]

Painkillers same thing, you want to be able to pop them if you get plinked at from distance and your leg breaks, or if you get into a fight you didnt expect

I can live with putting the ifak in your ass ig, but those two should always be in pockets

[night junco]

Adrenaline is my bby for that, free fast hp and a pk

[merry swift]

Sure

[night junco]

I just recommended that because they might not have good access to them or a lot of them. You know like if they wanna keep a bandage in their ass they’re probably gonna value an ifak

[merry swift]

Yea thats why I can live with that

Ifaks are good to hang onto early levels anyways

1 slotter for in the anus and then you just have a cheese or car kit in the vest

[night junco]

Can always hit crackhouse for those ez early game heals too, or woods

[merry swift]

You have to for therapist quests anyways

[night junco]

I do that so I can keep a morphine in my pocket hot keyed early

[turbid patrol]

Essmarchh or Cat?

[night junco]

Cat it’s faster use

With save you hp loss

[merry swift]

I prefer CAT

[scenic lake]

Cat is slightly more expansive tho

Gotta save as much roubles as possible

[merry swift]

Its only ever so slightly faster but they're just about the same price iirc

Well you spend dollars

So its fine

[night junco]

Use rouble to save rouble, not lose a kit

[scenic lake]

Ig you spend money to pk which is nice

[merry swift]

Normally you run out of roubles before you run out of dollars early game

[night junco]

Gotta spend money to keep and make money

[merry swift]

Or in my experience at least.

[scenic lake]

That's not my motto

Save money to make money

[night junco]

Yeah I’d rather not lose my entire kit, and then have to buy back 300 K worth of shit. Rather than using a bit of money on a heal or something to keep me alive

[merry swift]

but yea they're both very cheap right

whichever you prefer, just put it in your pocket/vest

[scenic lake]

My strat works for me yours works for u

[merry swift]

You can have a hemo in your gamma if you want to

Eating subsequent bleeds with the ifak is really expensive

Or just bring 2 CATs

[fervent raft]

Hemo in gamma is rarely worth

[merry swift]

Some people like to bring their grizzly in the gamma

[fervent raft]

Rather have a grizzly early

[merry swift]

Its whatever your preference is

[fervent raft]

And then just ammo + key

[merry swift]

There's something to be said for using 2 slots over 4 slots to be able to get more out in your secure

But whatever works for you

[scenic lake]

Tbh it's sad that standard edition can't have shit in there secure container

[merry swift]

Yea also that ig

[night junco]

They can rush traders to get the beta container

Not that far to get

[fervent raft]

I just rip the grizzly out if i find something Nice

[night junco]

That an early wipe even if you don’t rush to get traders or flea and buy a grizzly you can find them pretty ez if you go and look in the right spots

[fervent raft]

Yep

[merry swift]

Yea but we're giving advice to a guy who's keeping bandages in his gamma and deciding between esmarch and CAT based on price. I don't think they'd be the type to have a high extract rate or be able to afford spare grizzlies

So I'd say go for ifak(+hemo) and load up the gamma with important items you find

[night junco]

Scav woods or customs, boom grizzly, risk free

[silk heart]

keep calok in pouch and esmarch in pockets

or just have a single grizzly to fix everything

[fervent raft]

Ive never brought a bandage to a raid

[merry swift]

I don't typically do either

The penalty on light bleeds isnt large

[fervent raft]

Exactly

Grizzly eats it like Its nothing

And later when i run salewa Its not a Big deal either

[elfin elm]

good for crafting, bad for running

[elfin elm]

the big downside is usetime

pretty abysmal

[fervent raft]

It is but like

Its so much better than other options start of wipe

[elfin elm]

once you unlock cars those are actually quite good to run early

[fervent raft]

Never tried them

[elfin elm]

heals barely less than a salewa per-use, usually has enough to heal through one full fight, and you usually run dedicated heavy bleed items anyways so the light bleed only isn't a deal breaker

plus it has a quick use time

salewa, ifak, afak, and car all have the same use time

but heal different amounts per-use

and each have their own values of how much a heavy or a light bleed eats

ifak's kinda suck compared to the rest

[fervent raft]

In general Ifak and afak are just annoying

Outside of them being one slot

[elfin elm]

afak are good for container healing

outside of fights

truly

[fervent raft]

They wont ever get those unheard money from me 😂

[elfin elm]

afak have good heavy bleed and light bleed efficiency too I think

[elfin elm]

I'll probably do it at some point

only 50 for me

[fervent raft]

😂

The uncle?

Who swims in gold

I Think it might be fætter højben then

The lucky guy

Ahh yes

Isnt there a quest for the pockets actually

[elfin elm]

yes

it's not short, or cheap

but it's doable

[fervent raft]

What do you have to do

[elfin elm]

it's like 8 steps long

[fervent raft]

Name of first one?

Ill wiki it

[elfin elm]

starts with kill players on factory wearing specific armor and guns

I think it's something like good old times

that's the right task lne at least

last step though

[fervent raft]

Piece of shit wants 15 bitcoins lmao

[elfin elm]

for the last step yep

the 5 bosses while wearing goon gear can be something too

plus the goons, tagilla, and sanitar gear turn in

[fervent raft]

Its definitely something to do if bored

But not worth the pockets Jesus

[elfin elm]

yes it is

[fervent raft]

Imo no

[elfin elm]

2 additional slots perma unlocked for the wipe

[fervent raft]

At that point of wipe i dont really loot anyway

Those Two slots wont mean much

[elfin elm]

that's two extra mags, 2 extra nades, 2 more stims, 2 more salewas

[fervent raft]

I run like 3 mags anyway

3 mags and 1 salewa

[elfin elm]

it will always be useful to you the instant you unlock them

[fervent raft]

1 calok

[elfin elm]

then now you can do that with a scav vest

after you get pockets

and still have space for 3 nades

[fervent raft]

I used to go for the csa

Or whatever the Black and yellow one is called

[elfin elm]

that's csa

[fervent raft]

Its Nice early tho

[elfin elm]

it's fine

[fervent raft]

With the mag pockets

When you cant get good rigs

[elfin elm]

you should usually run as a big inventory space as you can afford though

[fervent raft]

But late it wouldnt mean much to me

[fervent raft]

I know but when i get to that point Im just there for the fight

No backpack and a csa

[elfin elm]

then run your med kit in the pockets

ez

[ruby summit]

Do you still gain exp for a skill if you boost it over 51 with a stim ?

[elfin elm]

yes, as long as your base skill has not hit elite

[astral glen]

From my testing no they did not (as of about a month ago)

2A2+3 bTG for instant searching while looting, I did not gain any skill points at all in attention after doing that

[cedar rampart]

can anyone help me do some quests so that i know how to do them next wipe?

[bold kernel]

usec sit in one room and bear shoot out windows

thats dorms

[fast night]

why is everyone ratting their ass

lol

ty sir

[bold kernel]

what magnification scope shall i put on my m4a1 for woods?

[scenic lake]

Vudu od tac30

[bold kernel]

huh?

[pallid ruin]

some people like the tac30, some prefer the elcan - in the end anything with 1-4 / 1-6 / 1-3 zoom should be good
