[young meteor]

You will probably be waiting longer than it would take to update the keybinds manually tho

[fast needle]

Do I extract normally to exit marathon?

[sterile pawn]

dont mind tbh

[undone flare]

if i die in marathon mode do i have to start again in ground zero???

aka in order to do the quests do i have to get to the required maps in one life?

[drowsy briar]

Does anyone know if scavs are having issues in ground zero?

I can’t seem to get in unless pmc

[past obsidian]

is it normal to wait >5min for a scav raid?

[fringe violet]

can smb help me with ground zero quests? its my first wipe

[drowsy briar]

Have you been able to get in at all?

[past obsidian]

no

7:24 right now

[drowsy briar]

That’s crazy I’m at 7:40 rn lol

[fringe violet]

I was waiting for 40 mins to get in raid as PMC, spoiler alert, I didnt get in

[pure moon]

Is there any shorcut to distribute items one by one fast?

[drowsy briar]

Waiting that long is crazy lol

[fringe violet]

back to my question, can smb help me with GZ quests?

[drowsy briar]

I’m not much help tbh

I’ve been in like 5 raids and died every time

[fringe violet]

ive been in 2 and died every time, I am on my very last equipment

[drowsy briar]

Yeah I’m just about out of shit too that’s why I’m trying to do a scav run but I can’t get I

In

[dusty depot]

i have only been able to load in once in GZ today, got 2 kills, completed a mission and then got killed

Scav's ar no problem for me. atleast it isnt on customs

[drowsy briar]

I’ve been trying on ground zero cuz it’s the only map I know decently well

I guess scav is a way to learn it tho

[craggy finch]

you need to switch to marathon mode in order to use tranzits?

[dusty depot]

i guess everyone is running GZ now and thats why it takes so long

[drowsy briar]

Could be but I get in as pmc pretty easy

[dusty depot]

Yes

atleast as long as the quests about it are still on.

[dusty depot]

EU? or NA?

[drowsy briar]

NA

[dusty depot]

yeah makes sense

[fringe violet]

I dont anyhow know it

I have no idea where I am on it

[dusty depot]

i'm EU, and in the early afternoon its no problem cause most are working or going to school

but evenings? Yikes

[drowsy briar]

I played a bit before this wipe but I’m still very new, find a map of it to keep pulled up and terrain associate

[fringe violet]

maps dont help me at all

[drowsy briar]

Idk what to tell ya then aside from just keep dying til you learn it lol

[fringe violet]

yeah. died twice by campers with 5k hours and am already drained of equipment

[drowsy briar]

Oof

Could try taking in just a pistol and run around a bit

[fringe violet]

am down to last bag, armor and headset

I only have the shit pp19

[dusty depot]

do scav runs, its free loot when you get out

[drowsy briar]

Pp19 ain’t bad

[fringe violet]

IF I get out

and idk extracts

[fringe violet]

it took a whole mag to kill a scav with AK-74M

he had no armor

all torso shots

came here cuz sherpa server dont wanna help

[dusty depot]

if maps dont help you try offline mode, you can switch off AI en just learn the map that way

you gain nothing more, but also dont lose shit

[fresh belfry]

i wish we could turn off mags going to unheard pockets when reloaded

[formal hemlock]

anyone know what do to with this shoe? or is it just a valuable

[mossy relic]

anyone can help with sightseeing task ?

[astral glen]

It's a streamer item

For the collector

[formal hemlock]

thanks

[dusty depot]

means there is no place enough in your rig probably

[dusty depot]

keep in mind friday is the start of twitch drops, then you get items, guns and armor too

[drowsy briar]

Just killed some poor dude on customs and he had like 250k worth of shit on him I feel so bad

Big ups for a scav raid

[lost birch]

anyone know what this is? was playing pve and this happened

stuck there

[drowsy briar]

No clue

[astral glen]

It's a bug, you must restart your game

[torn tusk]

lf duo havent played in a few wipes. i used to be good at the game looking for someone whos good & chill who can sherpa me a bit until i learn the ropes.

[tulip kettle]

why do fucking scavs 1 shot so much this wipe

did they buff them

[midnight locust]

How long were you standing in the spot? I've noticed scavs get an accuracy increase based on your movement. Even if they've only just discovered you if you were there for 20 seconds or so they seem to laser beam

[empty dragon]

I only have been 1shot by a scav one time so far, I was in crackhouse and died from fortress. just unlucky

[midnight locust]

Ouch

[tulip kettle]

1 shot so i peeked him for like half a second

[fresh belfry]

oh there is rig is empty, it loads to pockets first

[midnight locust]

Likely unlucky then

[worthy topaz]

Bro Is arena just impossible if you suck at pvp? Constantly going 2-8 is fucking awful

The learning curve for pvp in this game is an umovable rock. No matter how hard you try you never get better

[midnight locust]

Yeah

But you do get better, even if you don't realize it

[rugged frigate]

why am i always matching for woods is nobody playing it

just tryna unlock jaeger

[iron lava]

why cant i extract at the ground zero to streets transmit ?

[midnight locust]

Woods should be a lil busy, for the others unlocking jaegar

[rugged frigate]

yesterday matched for 50mins till it kicked me out of queue, matching for 10 mins today

[midnight locust]

Did you start in marathon mode?

[iron lava]

yeah

but when i go to extract it says transmit unavailable

[midnight locust]

Is it past 7 mins

[iron lava]

yeah

[midnight locust]

Odd

[rugged frigate]

only map i can’t get, even running scavs i get max 5 min queues

[midnight locust]

Odd

[worthy topaz]

Would you say last stand is good to play to practice pvp?

[rugged frigate]

is it only eu?

what server do u play on, and are u getting matched?

[fresh belfry]

exposure, youre being out in the open too much or not going for head

[dusty depot]

guess just unlucky then, never had that happen before

[worthy topaz]

Most of my deaths are me trying to peek and just getting headshotted

[midnight locust]

I have not personally done much arena. But it is a gametype where your best teacher is just smashing your skull against the wall over and over

[worthy topaz]

This is in ranked. Most deaths in LS are just headshots

[fresh belfry]

i also run low sens low dpi, for minimal correction.

[midnight locust]

NA, I get matched in 2-4 minutes

[fresh belfry]

you also need to watch how loud youre being and where people rush to and where to flank

[rugged frigate]

i guess i’ll just try na then, also does level matter?

[worthy topaz]

See like I tried to hold an angle and just get instant headshotted by an mp7

[fresh belfry]

level will sync with tarkov

[worthy topaz]

Sometimes I literally dont know what im doing wrong. Thats when I get annoyed

[midnight locust]

Try to push or peek when there's already activity going on, I find this helps me a lot in regular tarkov

[worthy topaz]

It wasnt sus or anything. Guy was just simply better than me

[fresh belfry]

do your best to learn from deaths, did i over expose, did i run out of arm stam, could i have gone left or right and caught that guy off guard?

[midnight locust]

Even if it's unrelated to my target, a distraction is distracting

[worthy topaz]

Thats fair. I try to do that as much as I can but sometimes a death can be annoying

[midnight locust]

Aye, frustrations will happen

Be angry in the moment if ya have to but still realize why it happened

[worthy topaz]

Yeah, I really shouldn't let this game get me so mad

[midnight locust]

It pisses me off when I make mistakes too, but it's oki. You'll get better

[odd sail]

are the makarov pistols rare on scav bodies?

[midnight locust]

I've passed up a few

They kinda tickle rather than kill

[odd sail]

bro ive been running factory killing scavs and havent found a single one

[midnight locust]

Mine were on G0

[fresh belfry]

they are quite rare, scavs spawning with pistols in general is rare, why do you need them?

[odd sail]

punisher part 5

[midnight locust]

They are??

[fresh belfry]

yeah they're quite rare. id go to customs because you can kill scavs while avoiding players

[midnight locust]

Ye. Just roll into dorms, lots of scavs. Don't do, go to one of the warehouses instead

[celest viper]

Is there any way to escape this spot or do I just have to abandon the match?

[fresh belfry]

i dont hit dorms too hot pvp, i go to fortress, construction, big red, warehouse buildings, old gas new gas

[young meteor]

Dont know where or what this is

[tulip kettle]

customs and gz literally worst maps in the game lmao this why i hate early wipe

[brisk wedge]

why did we have to be approved for twitch drops? i’ve never seen a game do it that way

[midnight locust]

G0 is poopoo, Customs is okay minus the bridge crossing is a pain

[celest viper]

Customs

I tried to prone under the train

[midnight locust]

Ah

Seen a lot of people get stuck there, don't think I've seen a solution yet

[young meteor]

New anti-rat technology

[midnight locust]

Pre sure people can kill ya there too

[uncut grotto]

guys i just opened the game for the first time , it tells me that i'm in beta version , is that normal ?

[midnight locust]

Ye

[versed valley]

yes

[lyric ravine]

pvp tarkov and arena arent the same level any idea why

[versed valley]

known bug

[lyric ravine]

ugh how do i fix

[astral glen]

The game is beta version 0.15.0.1.32160

[midnight locust]

Understood variable

[young meteor]

Known bug. Try playing a round in arena and playing a raid in Eft

[uncut grotto]

its still under development u mean ?

[versed valley]

wait

[midnight locust]

Play a mission of tarkov, then arena

[midnight locust]

Yis

[versed valley]

for quite some time now...

[young meteor]

Yes

[midnight locust]

I can't wait for 1.0 to come along. It better be called the escaped update

[velvet lion]

what am i suppose to do against this??

[astral glen]

Yes

[astral glen]

Not stand still in the open after mag dumping?

[velvet lion]

do you not see the guy shooting me?

hes upside down

[midnight locust]

Change angle, toss grenades, full on retreat

[astral glen]

No he's not, you can see someone walk out, you can see their legs and the muzzle flash from their gun

[velvet lion]

ohhhhh so true

[lyric ravine]

@velvet lion my bad bro i was doing some parkour

[midnight locust]

Ye, best to fire scoot fire

Or charge at them screaming and shooting

[velvet lion]

phahaha

yeah couldnt see hime through the bush, thought i was all good

thanks

[midnight locust]

There's always another one

[velvet lion]

trueee

[astral glen]

Rule 13 of Tarkov: There's always one more

[versed valley]

even when you kill "all" 4

i would just not touch bodies at all early wipe, not worth it for their shitty gear

[uncut tree]

Stupid question, is it normal that I send a friend request and the recipient dont receive it? neither i do when he sends it

[round crystal]

is it normal that I havelike 20 scavs in my lobby and fps are like 5 lol

whats the scav player limit

[versed valley]

depends on the map

[midnight locust]

Known bug

You can still match together using the looking for game feature

So it won't be too bad so long as you have him on discord

[lone shell]

where did postman pat part 1 letter get moved to?

[versed valley]

checked wiki?

[dusty depot]

isnt it still at the same spot?

[lone shell]

I checked yesterday and it wasn't updated... no it's not

[vale nexus]

There are twitch drops right?

[lone shell]

Friday

[vale nexus]

Oh right

[elfin elm]

same spot, just probably bugged atm

more likely than not they did an oopsies with the model hitbox

[lone shell]

@dusty depot @versed valley didn't realize I had to do it at night factory

[dusty depot]

then it is changed, used to be in day factory too

[elfin elm]

really? 👀

that may be a bug, but good to know you found a work around

[midnight locust]

Those fools, how could they introduce a bug?!

[lone shell]

Night bug letter in hand everybody

[midnight locust]

So it's not in his collar anymore?

[lone shell]

no

[midnight locust]

Good to know, thanken

[lone shell]

np

[elfin elm]

where is it then?

[midnight locust]

In his grubby mitts from the sound of it

[brazen swift]

do i need the iridium for any hideout upgrade or should i sell it?

[elfin elm]

it's used for barters later on

including the beta container if you're running the basic edition

otherwise you can sell it

[brazen swift]

i have the gamma...so i guess i can sell it

[lone shell]

in hte mittens

[midnight locust]

But were they grubby?

[brazen swift]

what about LEDX, do i need it for anything?

[midnight locust]

Yeah, med station upgrade

[lone shell]

are you supposed to be spawned separate from people in your group?

[undone drum]

like how far?

[lone shell]

opposite end of factory from each other far

[undone drum]

propably a bug, because of new area

[lone shell]

roger roger

[undone drum]

usually on factory even a 5 man squad will spawn close

[lone shell]

im just in a duo

[desert oyster]

i played arena and my xp is not syncing with eft, how do i fix it?

[modern moth]

think i should ask here but new to playing pc games and my friends told me to buy tarkov spent a fair penny on the game and it does not run like my other games i tried youtube and followed guides but it does not help my game crashes it says server connection lost alot and the times i do get into a raid my game freezes and stutters alot quite unplayable if you ask me im pretty sure my pc should run tarkov i have a i5-10400f 16gb ddr4 memory its 3200hz or something like that the games installed on a ssd i am connected via internet and have fast download speeds of up to 800mbs and a nvidia geforce rtx 2060 any help would mean alot really wanna play this game never played a game like it

[wild pasture]

Try lowering the Graphics?

[modern moth]

i have i followed the guides and my friends told me to lower my graphic settings

[wild pasture]

Tried clearing the cache?

[modern moth]

yep every time i restarted the game

and cleared the logs folder

my tarkov arena runs perfect

[wild pasture]

Does it happen when you try to solo or when you duo?

[modern moth]

yes

solo duo and trio

[wild pasture]

Both?

[modern moth]

yeah

[wild pasture]

Weird bug
My friend has the same bug but only when we duo

[modern moth]

oh

well i just cant play the game its like im trying to play on the worlds first computer

just runs horrible

[wild pasture]

Sometimes when you first load into a map it lags for abit then runs perfectly fine

[modern moth]

no

[wild pasture]

Happens with me and I got a 4080

[modern moth]

the whole time

[wild pasture]

Well then I have no idea

[carmine shore]

im never doing that beneath the streets task i know 1 map lol

[modern moth]

the first day i played it was doing okay

[wild pasture]

Check if there is a drivers update

[modern moth]

i have updated my drivers

[wild pasture]

any windows updates?

[modern moth]

and went back aswell to the previous driver

no

someone on youtube said it could be a virus doing it but i dont have one

literally every game i play runs fine

even at high graphics

paid 300 euros to play power point 😦

yeah friends told me that if i get the 300 euro one my stash is bigger and stuff

[carmine shore]

blud bought unheard straight away

[modern moth]

and the lower price has bad stash size

[carmine shore]

why would you buy unheard having not played the game once

no offence lol

[wild pasture]

You should have went with the standard version

[modern moth]

the 300 euro aint a problem

[fast needle]

is this worth?

[modern moth]

but i just wanted to have a good account

[carmine shore]

well 300 euros is kind of a waste if you cant play the game

[wild pasture]

Yeah

[midnight locust]

Ye

[modern moth]

i guess so but surely theres something to fix it

[midnight locust]

Hmm

[modern moth]

like my pc aint bad

[wild pasture]

• Why do you pay in Euros?
  For me it's usd

[modern moth]

its a lot better that the recommended specs

[modern moth]

i dont live in america

[wild pasture]

Neither do I

[modern moth]

i dont know

[carmine shore]

my bsg is in euros aswell

[wild pasture]

The unheard for me is 200 Dollars with the standard edition

Anyways @modern moth I have no idea about how to fix your bug

[south void]

How come my areana and eft xp and levels arnt synced

[wild pasture]

Bug I guess

[modern moth]

okay ill just play arena for now thats fun

[wild pasture]

Have you tried reinstalling the game?

[modern moth]

yeah

[night junco]

Worked for me^

[south void]

okay cool, if im a higher level in eft do I just lose the xp I got in arena or do they add?

[night junco]

I’m p sure it combines

You could do that math to double check. I didn’t but it loosely seemed to

[uneven acorn]

evening team. Anyone got any pointers with postman pat part 1 letter? Im looking in the usual place and its not there!

[carmine hull]

are you level 10?

[brisk wedge]

new item?

[lone shell]

best headset to use now?

[mystic cipher]

has this wipe also just completely bricked anyone else's game?

like i just straight up cant launch it anymore, game files corrupted and repairing doesnt work, neither does reinstalling

[wintry grove]

Been running fine for me lately

[mystic cipher]

have done a full reinstall of the launcher even

[obtuse plover]

i bought a mp7 for my custom class on arena how do i equip it?

[versed valley]

prob preference until someone makes a full breakdown

[lone shell]

ok its messed up now 😦 I can't hear nothing now

[versed valley]

i just run gssh and its doing fine

[lone shell]

I was running sordins I can't hear footsteps or grenade tosses

well come to think of it I couldn't ever hear grenade tossing or landing

[carmine hull]

m32's com 4's and sordans

is what ive foubd decent

[lone shell]

hmmmm

[crimson wharf]

how long does it take to get stuff back from transit?

[long dawn]

did u get this fixed? im having the same problem was fine earlier

[primal marten]

hey i went to the transit in ground zero and i put 1 item in the stash, when do i get the item

[lone shell]

are the twitch drops for this game good?

[tawdry flare]

i need some help with the first 4 ground zero tasks

[dark void]

theyre supposed to be now

[dark void]

on pvp?

[tawdry flare]

yeah

[dark void]

ill try a little later if you still need it, dm

[dark void]

like an hour or so

[tawdry flare]

when is a little later

[dark void]

^

[tawdry flare]

also how does pve work

[dark void]

in around an hour

[dark void]

same as pvp but with bots and it doesnt wipe

[tawdry flare]

does my pvp character transfer over?

[dark void]

its a little underwhelming though

no

[tawdry flare]

okay i get it thanks

[tawdry flare]

ill just do some scav runs cause i have not played in like 3/4 wipes and idk any of the new shit lol

[dark void]

dm me

[topaz perch]

hello is anyone ready to help me with first tasks thx 🙂

[ornate palm]

after the patch is anyone else having 10 min+ queue times on their pmc?

[frank prism]

first of the day and it's been loading loot for 3-4 mins personally, idk when i'll actually get in

[dark void]

everyone.

[ornate palm]

false, my buddies are in within 5 mins

[frank prism]

mine ended up ~4.5 there

[worldly canopy]

Special Comms Reserve spot anyone?

[grim gull]

Is there unconsciousness? I was playing scav when someone headshot me, but instead of dying screen went black with lots of ringing for a min or two. Was able to hear everything but black screen. Just a bug?

[tidal lagoon]

no

bug yes

[topaz perch]

is anyone ready to help me with first tasks?

[frank prism]

stepped on mines 30s into woods at night just west of scav bunker...ouch

[sly pewter]

[frank prism]

i even saw a warning sign for mines the OTHER way and turned 180 lol

[sly pewter]

Woof bad luck homie

[frank prism]

not being able to get lobbies w my scav is really doing a number on my stash value as a beginner lol

[orchid elm]

they're all kinda ass right now

i cant hear shit

and the scavs dont say their voicelines sometimes

[versed valley]

Try nightime factory

Usually loads within 3 minutes sometimes instantly

[velvet lion]

How do i fix this?

[indigo kayak]

some guy is frozen walking in place i shot him lots but he not dying what do i do

[fast needle]

i thought shatuns hideout was supposed to be really good

[civic quest]

how tf do you have so much 5.45 BT

[verbal nebula]

should i get shooting range or workbench first in hideot

[civic quest]

id say workbench

[verbal nebula]

alr

[vagrant elbow]

In the Marathon mode after you unlock streets can you start from there? or does it always need to start from ground zero

[fast needle]

just finding ammo packs

[civic quest]

yeah

[undone drum]

in this discord server?

voice channels named after maps like ground zero and beginners voice channels

just hop in there and ask politely if you can tag along

[solid ginkgo]

Can i find the drive if the door is already open for saving the mole?

[iron lava]

how do i get lega medals?

[undone drum]

yes

[astral glen]

Complete tasks with Ref and you have a chance of getting one by winning Arena matches

[elfin elm]

man, walking through ground zero against new players is almost like cheating

[frank prism]

are hand drills worth keeping for a super noob?

i see its used for some stuff in tark wiki but idk if i'll be there for a long time

[upper python]

I can never see people that are shooting me and my headphones dont really help me either any tips

[elfin elm]

if you only have basic edition, you need one to upgrade your stash

[frank prism]

ooo I do only have basic, good shit

[elfin elm]

after a while you get used to how the bullets sound whizzing by your head

[frank prism]

about to go feed on GZ right now lol

[elfin elm]

and you learn to figure out the direction they come from

[elfin elm]

I went in with an uzi, and left with an mdr, trooper, tc-2002, and 5 dogtags

[upper python]

thnak you

[elfin elm]

fight scavs a bunch

early wipe they have bad aim, so good practice

[frank prism]

i only picked the game up 2 weeks ago so didn't get much practice in last wipe... already passed my prev quest progress though so we're going the right direction, even if my stash bank acct is not lmao

[elfin elm]

lol

got more than half the ground zero tasks done in one run

darn, wanted to get all but 1

[inner kelp]

this mission just disappeared for me as i was halfway thru doing it... why?

was it timed or something?

[inland tulip]

would someone be up to help me with the fist tasks?

[minor rivet]

anyone want to help me with a task on ground zero?

[undone drum]

what do you need help with? Finding where to go?

[undone drum]

what do you need help with? Finding where to go?

[minor rivet]

@undone drum no i know where to go just keep dying to rats lol

[inland tulip]

yeah

and having someone else on my team. i always get outnumbered

i havent played in a ayear or so

[undone drum]

you don´t know where to go or are you also dying to pvp?

[inland tulip]

both

i kinda got the location figured out

i just had one done thjen got mowed down by 3 people

[undone drum]

check out tarkov wiki for where to go.
Just google tarkov wiki task name

[undone drum]

I think you guys found each other then.
@minor rivet Guys try #pvp-lfg

Or just join one of the beginner voice channels or ground zero voice channels and ask if you can tag along

[bold kernel]

how long should i wait for scav matching ??

[undone drum]

15-20 min

[bold kernel]

holy shit

thanks man

[undone drum]

everyone wants to scav, no one wants to pmc

[lone shell]

is the limit of GPUs you can carry in a raid still 5 or did they change it?

[bold kernel]

im currently waiting on my duo so its just in the meantime

[undone drum]

i don´t judge, i just explain 🙂

[bold kernel]

rajah bro nice to know

[frank prism]

chances of finding the wine bottle first try rn?

i think i'll find a slug to the back of the dome first

[undone drum]

did you check tarkov wiki for all the possible locations?

and how it looks like?

[bold kernel]

its there every time

guranteed

[frank prism]

yeah i just meant first location i check

and i did, in fact, find a slug to the dome after the bottle lol

[solid ginkgo]

is there a way for more stash space without buying more than the standard edition yet

[wild pasture]

Yes

Upgrade Stash in hideout

[undone drum]

sell everything you won´t use or you can buy easily from traders

[visual seal]

i got a health resort office key with blue tape from scav run and it vendors for 80k to therapist do i keep it or sell i

[solid ginkgo]

👍 now i gotta find what i dont need lol

[solid ginkgo]

sweet!

[wild pasture]

• You could also sell some stuff you don't use

[undone drum]

check tarkov wiki. It will tell you whats behind, what tasks you need it for and so on

[undone drum]

Everything you can buy from traders rn, you can also sell rn
Keep it that way. The stash space is for stuff you can´t acess easily

Right click - linked search for those guns or med items. if you can buy them right away, off they go

[soft dirge]

Just in case you did not find it yet. It is placed vertically on top of the bag!

[frank prism]

is there ever a reason for player scavs to kill one another

or just dumb generally

[silent nymph]

pretty dumb, unless you value their loot more then your scav rep

and it is scummy

[solid ginkgo]

can i do missions as a scav? like the save the mole

[frank prism]

ok so i feel vindicated for being salty i just spawned in scav and got lit up by player scavs lol

[vague orchid]

the two I tried on ground zero no, I attemted to do shooting cans and the one where you have to locate the emersen medical thing on ground zero didn't counte as a scav

[solid ginkgo]

Rip

[vague orchid]

don't know which ones you can do as a scav if any unless it's a fetch X item quest

[solid ginkgo]

Ok

good to know lol

[vague orchid]

like the other part of therapists first mission where you have to get 3 found on raid items

[solid ginkgo]

yeah i did that as scav and was wondering how the others dont count but now it makes sense

[vague orchid]

is it easier to survive daytie or nighttime rades?
I'm down to 92.8k roubles
I'm worried I might run out of roubles if I contiue dying and needing to buy weapons since scav timers are so bad right now

[midnight locust]

This is the case, if it's find X item in raid and turn it in, you can do it on scavs, or by using your hideout crafting. Otherwise, all PMC

[honest ingot]

this depends on what your goal is.
example: ground-zero night time taxi is being used more because people are more likely to run around at night.

but daytime ground-zero gives you a better chance to use the taxi early bc most people will hide and get in position first.

[small marsh]

Screw it time to be a dick head and camp tf out of ground zero, I’ve died too many times to rats

[honest ingot]

try to find hot-zones on each map. and imagine what you would do on that timezone and area.

now try to counter YOUR playstyle according to that and then you have an idea what you could do

[midnight locust]

How do I counter alt-tabbing to check where my quest is on the map?

[small marsh]

Stopping for a second in a safe spot and listening for footsteps or other sounds really helps too

[small marsh]

Just learn the map, I also use map apps on my phone so I don’t have to tab out

[midnight locust]

Oh no meant the playstyle thing xD But ye I just struggle to remember where some odd quests are

I wish my phone had a good enough battery to be my map

[honest ingot]

not everyones ideal: do the quest in an offline raid first to realize what you need to do

[midnight locust]

But it dies fast

Like the factory repair ones I spent.... 12? raids on last wipe

Cause I kept ending up in the wrong halls

[honest ingot]

i have the wiki on my left monitor for example. thats what i do. and tarkov in borderless fullscreen

[midnight locust]

I need to get a second monitor one day

[honest ingot]

best thing that happened to me for tarkov

[elfin elm]

no

only tasks you can progress with scavs are collecting normal items

[elfin elm]

use your phone

just have it plugged in

[vague orchid]

thanks for the info

[honest ingot]

fear not to ask questions

[cosmic wedge]

yo in all honesty, is pve worth the 20 bucks?

[honest ingot]

personally? i dont understand the reason to PVE. i like the fact that PvP means that i can yoink other peoples gear. thats what tarkov is about. PvE tarkov feels bland

[mossy hedge]

As a noob are helmets and armor worth shelling out for while learning or not? Cuz I feel like I get wrecked all the same lol.

I know in general they're important

But I mean while I'm learning

[honest ingot]

try to wear the best armor that you can currently.
but the most important thing that YOU need is the best ammo for your weapon.

if you only shoot pen 2-3 ammo, you waste milliseconds that could've won the fight if you use 3-4 pen ammo for example

gear is worth 0 if you can penetrate the head earlier than your enemy.
aside from ammo, a headset is important. everything aside of these 2 factors are personal preference imo

[small marsh]

Should I have to make a new pmc when loading into arena for the first time? Shouldn’t it carry over from main pvp?

[elfin elm]

the xp and lvling transfers over

but not the pmc themselves it seems

[small marsh]

Alright thanks

[frank prism]

i found a gpu!! woop

[dense swift]

yo can someone bring me through the first few quests

[midnight locust]

Nice

[gaunt yarrow]

does anyone know why my EFt arena and standard EFT levels are not syncing?

[elfin elm]

it's normal for them to desync

do a tarkov match, then do an arena match

[twilit mica]

Hey

I want to play with a NAE friend, and Im from South America, is it possible to team up? It doesnt appear to work for sending friend requests

[foggy vapor]

Is there someone EU who could help me get through the few first quests please?

[spare knot]

how do i link my arena account i level up my arena and it doesnt level up my eft character :(

[elfin elm]

friend requests are bugged atm

[elfin elm]

play a tarkov match, then an arena match

[elfin elm]

you can usually still play together using the find group function

[solid ginkgo]

Are helmets worth buying? i dont know if i wanna spend almost 30k on one

[elfin elm]

right now for sure

it becomes more debatable the later in wipe you go

but right now a bunch of players and scavs are runnign gear that won't go through helmets well

[limber dome]

Can you level up fast with arena and can you make rubles playing arena?

[elfin elm]

yes

I play 2 or 3 matches and got to lvl 5

did dogshit too

[whole thistle]

Ive lowkey played like 4 real raids this wipe I've just been on arena and in level 10 rn

[limber dome]

Do you get much stuff from it to take into actual raids?

[small marsh]

When I transferred my money to my pmc from arena it didn’t transfer does it take a while or something?

[elfin elm]

you have to unlock ref

[spare knot]

btw can u level up sniper level with arena or no?

[elfin elm]

don't actually know atm

[honest ingot]

any skill

[honest ingot]

i played arena til 14 and now i play eft with lvl 14 and arnd 4 mil in my bank already.
yep, arena is crazy worth it

[night junco]

Not rlly, but you can scav and then play arena in between cool downs to have loot as you lvl

[spare knot]

you make 200k every match

[whole thistle]

looks like it

^

[cloud walrus]

waits 17 minutes for a scav to not even fully load in and get head eyes, lol get this shit figured out

[honest ingot]

what map

[frosty bay]

Scav raids are loading in hella slow anyone know why ?

[vast gale]

I like get super jittery playing alone, i dont really know what to do to stop being like anxious

[elfin elm]

lose gear fear

and scav a decent amount

[prime sequoia]

I always die to someone who was just sitting for so long expecting me Am I sprinting around too much and being loud? Or is it just not clearing things properly

[wild pasture]

You can use the scroll to slow down your movement and volume of walking

[cloud walrus]

lighthouse

[elfin elm]

probably a lil bit of this and that

helps to know where to expct people

[vague orchid]

is just running around with a shovel and nothing else trying to brute force an extract quest a good idea?

[vital oasis]

stuck under a train car gewtting shot at >>>

ready to uninstall tbh

joke of a fucking game

[elfin elm]

don't go under the train then

[solid ginkgo]

Lmao

[wild pasture]

It's no fun going around it

[vague orchid]

trying to figure out how to do the police extract mission and I just keep dying

[vagrant cargo]

um that’s early

[vital oasis]

never too early haha

i fell lmfao

[vagrant cargo]

no

[vital oasis]

go to car> give money> wait 1 min

[vagrant cargo]

if u wanna do an extract quest bring ur good shit so u don’t die on the way to it

[calm marlin]

can somebody help me how to change temp directory?
I changed the directory to E:\Battlestate Games\Temp and receiving a error "Access to path 'ApiClient.dll' denied."

[vague orchid]

I litterally have nothing left now, I think I only have 51k robules left

[vagrant cargo]

then i guess play arena or scav

sorry

but you’ll lose the last of your money if you start doing naked raids

there’s medical costs to cover

and you’ll most likely die a couple times if u bring nothing

[vague orchid]

ah hm damn, I have 253 USD could that get me enough gear for a single solid attempt?

[frank prism]

breaking even on pistol+rig got me out of the <50k hole a couple times

[elfin elm]

scav runs for sure

once you have solid footing you can do dedicated money runs on your pmc, much more lucrative

but there's also arena if you own it

[vagrant cargo]

hm i don’t think that gets you anything more than a pistol

[vague orchid]

I can sell some ammo and get to 253 esailly then buy a shotgun that I have 11 rounds for

[vagrant cargo]

yeah arena is really cool imo because i saw a lot of players lose all their roubles and uninstall so at least with that ur never really broke

[elfin elm]

cheapest loadout is about 15k rubles

[vagrant cargo]

wtf brah don’t let guy run in with a tt

[steel nova]

is arena worth buying now in your guys' opinion?

[elfin elm]

tt isn't the cheapest gun

it's fun now

[vague orchid]

is that the PVE?

[elfin elm]

nah, different game in the launcher

[vague orchid]

ah

can PVE get you money for your PVP account?

[elfin elm]

no

[steel nova]

no your pve and pvp loot/stash is separate

[vagrant cargo]

what is ?

toz 7k i think

[elfin elm]

either makarov

or toz, or double barrel

can't remember, it's close

[vague orchid]

okay I'll scav run then

[vagrant cargo]

makarov got a price increase with the new model

it’s 10k now

double barrel should be around 9k

[vague orchid]

is the 1911 any good at killing PMCs/Sacvs so I can try and camp say emerson checkpoint on ground zero?

[vagrant cargo]

i think toz is cheapest

[elfin elm]

it's okay, only like 7 rounds a mag though

[vagrant cargo]

why the fuck would you camp emercom checkpoint ?

[vague orchid]

nakatani basment I think is the hardest to camp on ground zero

[stiff cape]

[vagrant cargo]

why do you want to camp either of those

[vague orchid]

because ground zero is the map I know the best

[vagrant cargo]

????

you are not answering my question

[vague orchid]

well they are extract points and I thought camping by extract points you could steal a kill before dudes extract like I did on my last scav raid before I deid by swarming the extract

[vagrant cargo]

is this how you have fun on video games

[vague orchid]

no but it's how I can get money fast theroetically

inbetween scav raids

[vagrant cargo]

It’s not

[stiff cape]

youre very much handicaping your pmc progression

[vagrant cargo]

You will get money the slowest possible

As well as have a very boring eft experience

Also you say “in between scav raids”

don’t forget that ur pmc is ur main character yknow

[vague orchid]

yeah the PMC is my main charecter but I don't have a good gun for them yet, and I like this game but am bad at it

[stiff cape]

you wont get a good gun not progressing pmc

this is the exact time to run shit guns

everyones got shit guns

you most definitely wont get better at the game doin what youre doin

[vague orchid]

so just run a pistol and hope to kill someone and extract alive?

[vagrant cargo]

i

[elfin elm]

run minimum gear and do tasks

[vagrant cargo]

i would say use a pistol loot a lil and then buy an actual kit

[elfin elm]

be aware of the tagged and cursed effect however

[slender onyx]

anyone want help with their ground zero tasks? hit me up!

[vague orchid]

yeah currently only 4 quests I can do RN, Debut, Shortage, Burning Rubber, Saving the Mole

[brisk vine]

hey i keep get server conection lost only on pmc?

but i can scav

[elfin elm]

they give you the ground zero tasks first, then after you finish them they give you more

[brisk vine]

i have done dns server switching and everything

[elfin elm]

try #community-support

more like our tech support channel

[reef tapir]

is there a shortcut to put the money in when trying to buy something from the traders?

[elfin elm]

blue box, top middle of screen

right next to buy

[vague orchid]

is it because everyone is trying to do burning rubber that it's so hard RN?

[elfin elm]

generally yeah

[vagrant cargo]

burning rubber is the v ex one ?

[vague orchid]

yep

[elfin elm]

5k rubles, and a minute of undisturbed time

sometimes a bit of an ask

[vague orchid]

also where is the lab dude for mechanics ground zero quest?

can't seem to find him at all

[elfin elm]

it's in the labs building

big white one with triangle patterns on the outside walls

[vague orchid]

yeah I've been searching in there haven't seemed to find it yet

[elfin elm]

tiny collapsed hallways in the back of the lobby

he's partly under the ruble

[vague orchid]

oooh, probably why I didn't see him at first

[frank prism]

damn mysterious room marked key sells for 600k?

[vague orchid]

I might've gotten the best spawn for the car exfil thing.

[frank prism]

maybe i keep that

[vague orchid]

just completed the extract mission wow, no fuss.

[prime sequoia]

What sights should I use? I like the holo look and the razor scope but idk what to buy rn for ak and ump

[vagrant cargo]

whichever you like tbh

but generally lpvos are considered the best option

if u want a 1x the boss or exps 0 are the ones

[vague orchid]

time to use a scav raid to locate the lab dude then do a run with my PMC to get the lab dudes data and turn in mechanics stuff

[stiff cape]

🫡

[stiff cape]

have you used the wiki? usually plenty of pictures

[vague orchid]

yeah I'll double check making sure i didn't miss that picture

[elfin elm]

sometimes it's fun to explore instead of googling stuff

[stiff cape]

dont disagree just mentioning it esp if the guys resortin to extract camping

[elfin elm]

elcan and valday assault scopes are good; tac-30, vudu, razor, tango, and schimdt and bender are good scopes, and most non-russian holos are good

red dots are mostly preference, but probably 70% of them are ass

[vague orchid]

oh no, I keep losing connection to the server

[elfin elm]

use to be all the other scopes are either ass zoom, or single magnification

but with the new variable zoom, more scopes may be usable

[solid ginkgo]

wow, im hooked now. finishing a pmc raid without dying is a crazy feeling

for me atleast after dying like 10 times

[elfin elm]

very few games can get the adrenaline of the stress tarkov gives

making you think on your feet almost the entire time

[vague orchid]

can your charcter die if you DC from a server?

[elfin elm]

yes

if you DC before loading in, it's usually not a problem though

if your pmc goes into the raid though

you have to worry about it

[vague orchid]

okay thanks

wow the double barrel sucks

wow a single scav run and single quest got me back up to 120k roubles

[plucky tangle]

bro wtf is this bug

im a scav so idc but im stuck using the med kit

forever

[royal canopy]

someone linked a channel in here with a bunch of begginer tips and keybinds, i cant seem to find the channel haha, can someone help me out?

[vague orchid]

did you try left and clicking to try and exit out of the animation?

[plucky tangle]

yes

[vague orchid]

huh odd

[plucky tangle]

cant even open doors 💀

[steel nova]

you're just stuck like that unfortunately. Happened to me twice

[plucky tangle]

cant open the extract lmaooo

[vague orchid]

what's a run through raid?

[plucky tangle]

exit too quickly without getting enough xp

[vague orchid]

ah, whopes is that bad?

[plucky tangle]

makes it so you cant turn it in as found in raid

the stuff you got

[vague orchid]

okay so if I spawned in and then accidently extracted it doesn't hurt?

[lone shell]

why don't I have access to the new patch .15 quests?

[solid ginkgo]

whats a good way to get money as a pmc

[plucky tangle]

doesnt really do anything

[gilded kraken]

is postman pat pt 1 broken? i cant grab the letter i can only loot the dead scav

[lone shell]

gotta do factory at night now and its in his mitts trust me I had the same problem

[frigid finch]

started with an m700, thanks blue bro and rogues lol

[spare knot]

I had lvl 13 in takov grinded arena to lvl 15 and im still lvl 13 in tarkov... :(

[vague orchid]

question how do you not panic relaod dropping your mag?

is RR drop your mag?

[thick grotto]

yes, quick reload

[wild pasture]

RR = Panic
1 R = no panic

[spare knot]

Yes double r is fast reload and it drops ur mag

[vague orchid]

whopes just lost a M911 mag cause I panic reloaded cause I was being shot at

[spare knot]

And can someone tell me how i link my arena to my eft now ? 😭

[frigid finch]

"fast" lol

[vague orchid]

I lost a 10$ usd mag cause I panic reloaded

[spare knot]

Most of them are slightly faster

[frigid finch]

just joking lol, most feel very slightly faster

[tulip kettle]

Is this marathon glitched

just loading into labs from streets

8mins

fucking kidding me bro

[vague orchid]

um what happens if your game crashses while in a raid?

[frank prism]

damn man, partizan got me good on woods at military camp

[vague orchid]

can you get back into the raid?

and is a crash considered differnt from a DC for server loss?

oh thank god it is

[west eagle]

anyone getting error 108003? "checksum does not match" did everything listed to fix on forums to no avail, even fresh installed windows 4 times

[frigid finch]

when did they set Rogue Ai to just sit on turrets again?

[hoary falcon]

have they not always? cept that one time where they bugged and just full sent towards anyone

[frigid finch]

that was for a full wipe lol

[hoary falcon]

It wasn't lol

first month or two

[frigid finch]

yea then they changed it to if you shot one, the others near turrets would get off

sometimes others would reposition from other buildings

it was random af for a whole wipe, it was really frustrating

[hoary falcon]

made it challenging instead of just a memorized route

[frigid finch]

challenging and random bullshit are not the same

[hoary falcon]

duh

should rogues be 100% predictable?

[frigid finch]

if they have perfect aim bot ai, then yes

[hoary falcon]

lol, skill issue

[frigid finch]

good talk

[vague orchid]

what's a good thing to use for what ammo to buy from a trader?

should I just have the wiki open on my phone and read what each ammo does?

[frigid finch]

i just use the ballistics wiki, depends on what you are trying to do

in general, the better armor pen, the less damage

[vague orchid]

currently using a kedr going up against mostly scavs or low armor peeps

[frigid finch]

break point is generally only go for pen if it can pen iv or above

[tulip kettle]

lmao its crazy how shit bsg is at designing this shitty game ive been stuck in infinite loading 3 times as im loading into labs from marathon just to be kicked back to stash lmao like jesus christ this is actually ridiculous

waste of my whole night

[frigid finch]

its really too bad such a shit company owns one of the best games/concepts ever....i would kill to have this game in the hands of competent developers who actually gave a shit instead of scamming us for their next game lol

[gilded kraken]

any1 know where they moved checmical pt 3 to on factory?

[plucky tangle]

why wont this door open on streets anymore

and is anyone else having trouble opening some containers that used to be openable

[silent osprey]

Gunsmith Part 1 , ive got the gun modded and ready to be turned in but i dont have the option to turn it in

I tried using another mp-133 and it still doesnt give me the prompt

found the reason , the weapon has to be specific durability

[slender dew]

yep, above 50%

[limber dome]

how do i unlocked locked weapon crate etc from arena

[frigid finch]

wtf there is comtac Vs now?

wait and VI lol

[weary scarab]

You need workbench level 2 at least

[umbral notch]

chemical part 3???? where is the syringe

[weary scarab]

i believe factory

[weary scarab]

wiki is best friend

[wild pasture]

Guys is the money case worth it?

Or should i just buy wallets

[dense helm]

If you find it, can you let me know?

If I find it, I'll let you know.

[weary scarab]

Use the wiki very helpful. Pretty sure its in factory tho

[umbral notch]

checked where it was in the wiki

wasnt there

[vague orchid]

you can make an impromtu money case with wallets and a tac rig

[wild pasture]

Thank you

[hollow sedge]

Does anyone have tips for marathon anxiety?

Just nervous about it and whatnot

[edgy plover]

Got any examples of good game devs?
No major studio gives a shit anymore

BSG doesn't own the concept

They've just done it the best

[frigid finch]

FromSoft is the obvious ones, but not for this

[edgy plover]

exactly - they're it

[elfin elm]

shep, ya ghosted me

[edgy plover]

Sorry boo - busy today
got your headphones whenever

[elfin elm]

fair

[edgy plover]

can't test though - but I can drop em back rn

[elfin elm]

eh, we can do it later

[edgy plover]

sweet

[elfin elm]

they still exist

[frigid finch]

Larian for BG3....im wondering if the devs of Stellar Blade and Granblue Relink will turn out to be good, but both released stellar single player games with minimal or no micro transactions at launch

[elfin elm]

just rarely in triple A settings

[past pagoda]

cant find the location for the quest in the wiki

[elfin elm]

brand new task, wasn't around last wipe

[past pagoda]

oh

[slender dew]

it started yesterday lol, takes time my dude

[edgy plover]

Oh true, heard that was good
But yea, multiplayer is sort of a different animal
Biggest complaint against fromsoft is always the multiplayer and PvP stuff

[elfin elm]

helldivers

though they got screwed over by playstation

[short bay]

is this thing rare, should i vendor it?

[frigid finch]

yea, i kinda look at the pvp as an extra personally, but my god did i go deep back in the ds2 days

[edgy plover]

Ds2 was the BEST for PvP

[elfin elm]

new scav backpack, pretty much just an MBSS but red

[edgy plover]

God do I miss it

[short bay]

so sell it?

[edgy plover]

I played SO much ds2 pvp

[elfin elm]

or use it

[frigid finch]

sammeeeeeeee....but yea, i know there arent like better devs right now that can just take over tarkov....its just frustrating this is the shit we are left with

[edgy plover]

100% agree

[elfin elm]

no idea if it's used for any tasks, cus it's new

but no reason to hold onto dead stash space

[edgy plover]

wild that a multi-billion dollar industry is so bankrupt of competency

[short bay]

k thx

[elfin elm]

be glad it's not star citizen

and we actually have a mostly playable game

[frigid finch]

well...tbf...they are EXTREMELY competent...but not at anything we want them to be, just separating gamers from their money

[edgy plover]

It's so sad how gamers have fallen so deep for the monetization strategies of modern games

[frigid finch]

i cant even be mad at companies sometimes...i mean its obviously predatory and scummy and horrid, but it works

[edgy plover]

Yea that's the thing, companies have a very clear incentive structure
we made it clear we'd pay way more for cosmetics and battlepasses than we would for a carefully crafted, finished product

[frigid finch]

at the very least, all i want in life is to see all gacha/loot crates regulated the same fucking way gambling is

if you are going to have gambling with real money in your game in any way shape or form, 21 and over and with id verification

[edgy plover]

Yea my god I cannot believe that's still legal

[frigid finch]

it is somehow WORSE than actualy gambling, because you dont fucking win anything real and if the server shuts down its just gone

yet we let kids play that shit with no qualms

[dense helm]

I've been playing the game for years and I know what the wiki is, but it's not where it was because the factory map changed.

[weary scarab]

oh nice i didnt know map changed

[elfin elm]

have a look

almost entirely different

[vernal stirrup]

Best lv1 trader armor gear? lost everything

[frigid finch]

if you are losing that much my personal recommendation is to not buy gear and use whatever you get from your scav runs

[vernal stirrup]

yeah im about to go around with shot guns then XD, I've had so bad raids recently I need to remember there's always a third guy.

[frigid finch]

it happens to all of us lol

[dense helm]

I found it in the same room, on top of this cupboard. ''Chemical Part 3''

[frigid finch]

the 100/120 rd packs of meta ammo everywhere is blowing my mind

[south tapir]

Ikr it’s great

[frigid finch]

im having to retrain my brain, last time i played I played* i dont think there was a single good ammo pack

but now, like at the shack in woods, i found 240 m995 ammo right next to each other lol

[calm quail]

anyone knows how i can pass to sot the lab after the lighthouse

for event

[south tapir]

WOW

[acoustic anchor]

uf. Looks like 'Strunas' backapack ... interesting.

[frigid finch]

dude they need to fix this fucking grenade shit...i died to a grenade from a scav i neither heard nor saw after killing one in the general area...this is getting out of fucking hand

no sound, no voice line, not even hearing the grenade hit the ground

[short bay]

they nerfed the loot so much, goshan is empty

[elfin elm]

I noticed that too

two other variables though, they tend to reduce loot right after a wipe to increase fighting

and more players than usual are going to goshan as well

[covert nexus]

the AI teleports grenades onto you, look here https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521620602684178442/1276095682742321214/AI_grenade_T_P.mp4?ex=66c84837&is=66c6f6b7&hm=c5ec7e48f65d32c9a6ac47e258ebe1d25d8a94d00337df08d3aff43ae86ee21d&

[frigid finch]

Dude what in the fuck

[covert nexus]

It's Magic!

[frigid finch]

i just lost a scar i stole from a blue guy...fully kitted with a razor and saker suppressor lol

just annoying...second death this wipe to a random grenade from nowhere

[calm cedar]

tell me how to play this game:)

[frigid finch]

That's the neat part! You don't!

[uncut swift]

How do I complete Peackeeper's mission to hand in a power cord from raid or crafted? I just got one from raid and the Turn in option isn't there, am I missing something?

[forest sedge]

can i ask arena questions here?

[fringe gale]

Whats up with weight on backpacks? All mine are 7kg al tho diff models.

[topaz perch]

is anyone ready to help me with first tasks on ground zero thank you?

[elfin elm]

have a look at the lfg channels as well

[civic quest]

did you die with it in your pouch/did a run thru

[undone nest]

can someone help me get jaeger

[undone drum]

whats the quest called?

[undone drum]

are you 100% the first there?

[brisk wharf]

what the hell reshela doing at crack house 🤔

[elfin elm]

probably wandered from fortress

he can be out in the yard between fortress and crack

[civic quest]

buying crack? it's in the name duh

[elfin elm]

also try LFG channels

[elfin elm]

close the launcher and reopen it

the it should let you either reinstall or fix it

[elfin elm]

generally yeah

[brisk wharf]

weird he was here

[elfin elm]

that truly is an odd place for him

[brisk wharf]

mfer ruined my quest

[elfin elm]

particularly cus he's a fairly cowardly scav boss

[earnest sphinx]

any got tarcones key? need to get into the office

[elfin elm]

there's a barter for it on therapist if you can't find help

[calm cedar]

I fixed it (reinstalled launcher, and reinstalled game)

[elfin elm]

sweet

have fun in tarkov, prepare to die a lot

[calm cedar]

that's fun to die there:))

[elfin elm]

lol

[violet adder]

the only way to labs is from streets lol

[surreal lynx]

new to game new to sherpa

need

[grim obsidian]

Is the plague mask a good item, just got my first kill, loot, and extract lol

[elfin elm]

either, worth a decent wad of cash

or, it's used for the late game collector task

[grim obsidian]

Sweet, one game at a time

[ebon sage]

marathon mode for tasks is a pain in the ass fr

[grim obsidian]

Does the game try to put you in lobbies as the same level or it’s just a free for all

[acoustic ermine]

[hushed wigeon]

smh gotta become rainbolt so i know where i am whenever i spawn in

[acoustic ermine]

yeah it takes a while, i have 600 hours and still get confused on some maps, woods and streets are a bit hard cause everything tends to look the same

[elfin elm]

only map that has lvl matchmaking is groundzero

and it's just two lumps

20 and below, and then 21 and above

[grim obsidian]

So I can feel somewhat accomplished possibly killing someone higher level

[elfin elm]

generally yes

[frigid finch]

I killed ONE FUCKING SCAV and the entire fucking map converged on me, it literally wouldnt stop...holy fuck

Only one of them was a long range kill lol

[versed valley]

nikita added that scav horde feature a while ago

its kinda fun

[frigid finch]

what is it?

[versed valley]

never happens when you need scav kills though

[versed valley]

scavs form into gangs and defend each other

[frigid finch]

I was lucky i didnt get third partied by a pmc....i was in the middle of customs lol

[rain palm]

Anybody used the transit from customs to factory?

were armor hit boxes reverted in patch 15?

[young meteor]

Previous patch

[plucky fulcrum]

hi does anyone has troubles to enter shoreline? I have server connection error on both, PMC and SCAV. It does let me enter on offline mode. any tips ?

[vale loom]

so its not full coverage any more? even armored rigs?

[young meteor]

Check your regional server pings. It could just be that the game is very busy in your region

[young meteor]

Yes full coverage for the hitbox

[vale loom]

so the tier 6 hexagon plate even covers the collar bone and sides?

[young meteor]

Plate covers thorax, sides and neck are different planes

[young meteor]

But I think I understand the question, yes your whole torso is covered by the armor. Just not extra areas like groin, neck, nape, unless it says otherwise in the "protected areas"

[vale loom]

im talking about when they simplified it.

[young meteor]

Yeah, you get lvl6 protection for the box, not just the area the plate covers

[indigo kayak]

With the new task where you have to mark all the transition zones. Can you do that in a normal match or only marathon?

[indigo kayak]

Because I have that Marathon task where u collect that case in crack house and I found it in a normal match. I died tho

[young meteor]

Havent played Marathon yet 😩 idk

[tawdry maple]

Dose anyone know what the new settings are all for also is there a way to stop it from restarting my keybineds after every wipe ?

[surreal lynx]

halp

[young meteor]

It says right there what they're for. No, you need to change keybinds manually

[tawdry maple]

Actually they don’t like wtf is smooth scope zoom adjustment and toggle bipod ?

[young meteor]

Zoom in your scope using the mouse wheel instead of clicking to a preset magnification.

You can dial in more granular distance, for example, on a 1-4x scope, you can zoom in to 2.5x or 3.5x etc

[young meteor]

With?

Nice!

[formal hemlock]

[violet adder]

barter for uzi pro or keep for kappa

[ember lintel]

anyone find a way to fix the tarkov arena linkage issue, I tried to play a arena game then tarkov raid, and i kept swaping between them

[lyric viper]

now that we can no longer use fast ears or crye ears/chops with the comtac 4-6 headsets, whats the ideal helmet to use if you have to have NVGs?

[devout hawk]

This is a known issue.
Unfortunately there is no quick fix.
I would suggest to continue swapping. But unfortunately, this is not a definite solve.

[eternal bolt]

can someone tell me the best cheapest starting kit im only level 2 but i lost al my starting guns so i need something cheap but good

[devout hawk]

Run scavs and use the gear you get from your scav.

[autumn citrus]

what

i got this from prapor

[eternal bolt]

i know but if i die with it i have nothing so i want a class to fall back on

[devout hawk]

Just play around with what you have available.
There is no one gun or setup that works for everyone.
At least go in with a handgun and a rig, so that you do not get tagged and cursed.

[eternal bolt]

alright i will do that then thank you for your help

[proper oracle]

Hi guys, I've played a few wipes now and just started having a problem this wipe... my mouse wheel to select meds or mags isn't working, it flashes up for a second then disappears, the quick slots I have to always show also disappear afterwards, it seems to work occasionally with no problems and then just bugs again? I have the controls set correctly to release etc, I have tried resetting to default and no success, is this a known bug or have I messed a setting somewhere? Thanks

[versed valley]

make sure you have both R and whatever keybind you use for meds set as "release"

[frigid finch]

love it, killed someone, and cant loot them

[versed valley]

p sure it wont work otherwise

[woven leaf]

when you transit does it spawn you with people from a bunch of diff matches that made it to that transit?

[vague harbor]

anyone just starting wipe and looking to join up? just starting today

[violet adder]

alt f4 and reconnect

[mint radish]

Anyone able to scoop 2 military cables and meet me in game I'll pay extra over the cables price . Sold mine mission 2 by accident thinking it was raid loot . (Had white checkmarks instead of yellow) hmu if anyone wants some extra for doing it

[young meteor]

You cant do this

[young meteor]

These items are not able to be dropped by other players if they are not FIR

[mint radish]

@young meteor what if they buy it put on they body let me kill them after they put my money in they're prison wallet

[young meteor]

No. The item will disappear

[mint radish]

Is there a way to abandon that quest and it get it back later .. or do I just gotta find them or buy them at 15

[young meteor]

No, once a quest is accepted, you cannot remove it. Theres no downside tho, it doesnt count against you

[mint radish]

It sorely needed yellow checkmarks on the items I sold them thinking they were raid loot

[young meteor]

Probably sold the item before you accepted the quest

[mint radish]

They gave me the items when I accept3d the quest apparently.. I just went to sell all my stuff from the raids and I forgot lol

Trying to get the cables back because it's Hella slowing me down

[humble otter]

You can’t drop barter items in raid. They get deleted. And it’s against the rules

[young meteor]

Just scav reserve

[violet adder]

there is no rush to do that task btw, just do the normal task line

[humble otter]

^

[mint radish]

@young meteor been doing since yesterday lol doing in-between pmc runs

@violet adder yeah had to but man I really wanted to start it

[violet adder]

if you want to do a marathon task do the labs one

69k xp, injectors case and med case is crazy early on

[mint radish]

I need that !@violet adder

[violet adder]

do it then

[pearl furnace]

Did BSG stealth nerf headset & helmet combos overnight or something? Ppl on Reddit showing you can't equip even the shitty headset with the WWII helmet now?

[orchid elm]

why do people care so much

[proper oracle]

Yes mate, I have

[orchid elm]

just dont run the penis helmet

[young meteor]

With the new anticlipping clothing, I've been going for pure drip. Ball caps all day

[pearl furnace]

Excellent advice, thanks for that. What helmet SHOULD I wear at trader lvl 1 then? FFS

[young meteor]

Hat

[orchid elm]

dont wear one

[young meteor]

Buying helmets LL1 is burning cash

[orchid elm]

or get better shit

[dry flint]

the penis helmet already saved me twice this wipe.

[young meteor]

Just loot them. Dont pay for helmets

[orchid elm]

i've been rocking a tc-2002 for the past 4 raids

[versed valley]

you can...

[dry flint]

you cannot

not anymore at least

[versed valley]

oh, so they changed it, yesterday you could

[dry flint]

I was able to do it this morning

approx 10 hours ago

[pearl furnace]

I'd rather have clipping on my drip and a protected head/ears than this shit. Stupid change.

[young meteor]

Its the worst headset in the game. I think you'll be alright! Try running hat meta.

[dry flint]

its the worst but its the only option that can go with a helmet at lvl 1 traders. I will be abandoning it once I get lvl 2 traders

well used to atleast

I am just rocking m32's for now

[young meteor]

Just saying. You're better off scavving for gear like that. Worst case scenario you have to use a different or no helmet. I go into raid plenty with no helmet and survive

[undone flare]

Im doing marathon and the loading is stuck at "Preparing Game" and been like this for like 8 minutes or so

anyone know the cause, and have advice on what to do?

Ive heard people say not to alt f4 to restart the game because i will lose marathon progress, which... i dont want to have to do streets again.

[verbal nebula]

u keep ur loot

but lose prog i think

[woven leaf]

Marathon is interesting, ground zero is a fight with everyone pushing the transit, but later maps feel like I'm just dumped in a normal map, with no other players contesting transit, just playing the map normally

[tulip kettle]

so how do i unlock it

[twin heart]

my game frezzes everytime i shoot , how do i fix it ?

[orchid elm]

workbench lvl2

[orchid elm]

amd gpu?

[tulip kettle]

prob just pc issue idk

[twin heart]

yup

[versed valley]

#community-support message

[slender citrus]

can someone explain marathon?

[spare knot]

why isnt my arena leveling up my eft character level :(

[dusty depot]

its a known bug since the start of the wipe

[spare knot]

no way of fixing it ? :(

[versed valley]

map to map travel, between maps you can only stash stuff away, not take

[silent osprey]

just like the soap being same weight as Jupiter

[dusty depot]

as far is i know it isnt, some say doing a raid and then a round in Arena's might fix it but not sure if it actually does. otherwise its waiting till BSG fixes it

[spare knot]

ive been doing that still not fixing it :p

[versed valley]

fixes it for some people, for some not

[spare knot]

It seems my skills are leveling in both but just my level in general isnt
