yep, when you get it that low basically once you're done selling stuff from scav you can run again
whats the best thing to put into scav case? is it still worth it nowadays?
95k
i usually put my moonshine in there is that not worth it?
idk but most ive heard 95k is best
They get you the best stuff but can also lose you money. Someone made a big test of the difrent modes and the 95k case made the most profit/hr, moonshine and intel can make you win big but you lose just as often so its often very low profit overall if any
you can get good stuff but you'll certainly lose money with intel or moonshine overall. 95k is the best bet
thanks for the info guys
sort or tell you what to sell basically?
both
my stash is completly full and ive looked a tarkov market for 90% of the items
yeah I can tell you what to get rid of if you're tight on space
pop in beginners voice chat #1
as a scav whats the best place to loot for class 5 plates ?
weapon crates but youre not gonna find anything
either key rooms or bosses are the best
just watched a guy blow himself up fighting rouges
blown up by grenade launcher?
its been more than 10 hours since i handed in my lightkeeper quest but he still hasn't given me the next one.
I have not died or done a run through in this time so the timer shouldn't have been reset?
What works for me is
Go to bed
Dont open the game the next 10 hours
And then go straight to lk
ye thats what i did 
And it works for my mates aswell
that usually works but not today
Gg
i made sure to not die too after the first raid, then i left it another 2 hours and its still not working π
Try the same thing tomorrow
i just want my cqbm π
Most bugged wipe ever
fs
the loot at the lighthouse island is kinda good tho ngl
π«¨π«¨π«¨π«¨
i need to start bringing a bag over there. Is the marked room any good?
Ye Its alright
Ive found a blue card there i Think it was
And it always spawns a few figurines
Chance for bitcoin too ofc
cheers π
Np
π§
what the hell is this lol #eft-announcements message
I mean the bugs this wipe are goofy as hell
Idk Im just as confused
Hopefully not some mobile game
Im gonna break my monitor and my table then
translation: lets f*cking work, work work
i see loads of people saying "add cats" "let us smoke cigs" and im just here like NO fix the damn bugs π
redditors π
any good early ish face shield ?
what lvl?
am 29
I mald everytime they add something new and they are sitting with like 50+ bugs that literally makes the game so much more annoying
yep...
traders are between 3-2
Audio has so many deadzones this wipe
Sometimes theres just a monkey behind me no Sound at all
Theres none
Cqcm makes sense, cause Its cheap and you Can still hear, when audio works
i used 4 altyns on factory to do test drive part 5 and i died every time to a head throat ;/
But altyn is useless with throat box
Yes
after the 4th time i died with a l191 round to the throat i swore id just hoard my altyns ready for when they "address the throat hitbox"
budget variant (lvl 3)
Theres dead zones all the time
Like where a person just doesnt make sound
And vertical Sound doesnt exist
It sounds like everyone is on the same floor
have you noticed you cant open this container anymore? it does the open animation but doesn't open the ui
While doing the quest I actually bounced 56a1 off of this somehow
Sometimes it works
You Can get throated first bullet
damn, its lightkeeper ..
Ive tried that more than once
A weekend of grind and you have him
i prefered it when lightkeeper island was free for all, the camping on that was crazy
where can i find an updated quest path ?
Mate you havent really played maingame
I had altyn and kiver
And i died to one quakemaker from a pistol
Early wipe
Zebralo and kiver
Sorry
I was doing a task
The throat box is ass
But armor is also a bit too stronk rn
So idk
How they should balance it
the baggarly tanks so many shots lol
how do i use the voice chat in game ?
You need to find in the keybinds a keybind for enabling/disabling VOIP(voicechat) and you will be able to turn it on or off in matches. When its on you just use the key assigned to use voicechat to speak
So you need check those 2 keybinds and you can start talking shit
brooo what you cant shoot people on lighthouse island? π
just killed a guy and got killed by the bosses
the guy i killed just added me and said "goodluck doing it all over" what does that mean? can i not go back?
Maybe he had that one amulet that males zryachi shoot anyone who atacks you arnound the island
they only shot me when i killed him
But unlikely
I think you should unless they have that thing bought from lightkeeper or your shots are close enough to zryachi for him to interpret them as you shooting at him
omg i cant go back until i hand over 4 svds ;/
how to know if i was killed by scav or pmc
and do achievments stay even after the wipe ?
no doubt, was big brain to just not have game open for awhile to give it a chance just most ppl arent patient lol
If a pmc kills you have the option to report him and his account name is his name. If a playerscav kills you you have the option to report him and he has a scav name and then his account name in brackets after it and if a regular ai kills you he only has his scav name and no option to report
Yea, they do
does anyone know what this is/does
need it for tasks related to the mortar barrage
ah ok
it's just a macguffin
whatever that is
exactly!
do i need 1 or more
i've needed only 1 so far, but having spares isn't a bad idea because you have to bring it on to map to stash it, and you can't secure it
whats a good way about making money once u hit flea? does pve mode change the flea market at all like whats valuable and whats not, been checking out pve with some buddy's
my money making method for pvp cuz i never got super late into a wipe, was run streets on scav go check the drawers in that one area by the car dealership then leave and sell on flea whati got, mostly nuts and bolts unless i got lucky and got something else lol
what are some good money making methods on PMC?
with low lvl traders and flea
there are a lot of diffrent ways
i like Factory (if you are good at killing AI PMC's) and just take there whole shit and sell it all cause 1 raid doesnt last long
or loot runns like streets etc
XD balanced
nightime raid as well
bruh who trained them, Hawkeye?
shld i just work on main tasks and ignore mortar strike event ones ? or shld i participate as a new player
also how tf am i supposed to get the radar spare parts if it keeps shooting mortar missiles
honestly if its fun for you id do them
main
1 mortar barrage, loot drop, 2 mortar barrages with a small pause
you can hear the shoots and then the impact
You gotta wait for the airdrop and loot itafter barage ends and before new one begins, theres some long gaps between them
how does bleeding work? if i hit someone but the ammo doesnt penetrate the armor, can they get bleeding?
No, if the armor tanks the bullet they dont bleed. They can recieve small amounts of blunt damage from tge force of the bullet impacting the armor but its gonna be like 4-6hp per hit or some other tiny value. To apply bleed you need to hit an unarmored bodypart or penetrate the armor
oh so bleed ammo is pretty much useless then, since it has bad pen the bleed basically doesn't matter
The strat for high dmg high bleed ammo is shooting peoples legs, theres no armor covering legs and with some ammos its enough to hit a persons leg 6 times to kill or with some shotguns just 2 shots if aimed well
which u looting on?
So you either take a high dmg buckshot shotgun or super high firerate smg with dmg ammo amd you can kill a chad in class 6 armor if you play it well
streets
ohh yeah that can work
yeah streets is nuts
But leg meta requires a specific sneaky playstyle you cant just run atvpeople and duel head on with people with pen rounds
But shots to kill on leg meta will always be more on leg meta than on a pen build so you will be at a disadvantage. Also if they lean from behind a corner youre kinda fucked
if u doing leg meta u move around though
Anyone have a pkp they can lend me?
whil yes but you make up for that by using extremely high rpm smgs so they still die in one second
Streets runs crap for me
its hilarious seeing them faceplant after shooting their legs with vector
Vector is hands down the best for legging
frfr
They baisically do a frontflip
What happens to quest items if i get a run through
quest items like the pocket watch? or normal items that need to be fir?
yea normal quest items not items that needs to be FIR
like flash drive with blue tape and all
then nothing happens, you're fine
okay ground zero extract camping is fucking ridiculus
legit?
ngl I feel like most cheaters at this point are probably smart enough to tank their KD intentionally so that they dont look as sus after killing someone. People who have their KD super high and are cheating I feel are the ones that are easiest for BSG to hunt out and ban
With that said, someone with a 65.38 KD is almost certainly cheating unless they are the biggest rat in the world lol
lvl?
20
Hm
Probably a cheater tbh, but could be a guy just playing extremely ratty and mainly only killing scavs
id give it like a 90% chance of cheater
10% chance of super ratty player
People who are good chads will usually have around a 10KD, 65KD just isnt possible if you are fighting constantly unless you are either ratting or cheating even if you are a very good player who wins most of their fights
arent stall shells supposed to blind people?

i got a task called eliminate the target: reshala, how do i do this?
find the customs boss and kill him
Sooo I guess I learnt the hard way on reserve. I'm fine with it, but you really can die from 2 shotguns shots in the leg ??? That succccks ! I mean, I couldn't stand a chance here. I barely saw him π Fcking rat
First hit leg blacked out, second hit dead. Game says I died from the leg with Magnum.
oh lmao i dont even know customs well enough to do that especially solo XD
ive only seen him once this wipe =/
what a rat :l
is 10KD and 1500 hours legit ?>
I mean, before doing the 3 kills < 40m with bolt action on factory I had 15KD and 100h in-game so yes, definitively π
KD means shit with scavs
Even now I have 6KD with my PMC, first wipe ever (lvl 32 250h)
Easily
8x50 damage
400 damage/salvo max
Thats kinda BS π¦
Since damage is spread to other members after blacked out, whats the point of going with T6 armor and bastion...
I mean, better going out naked with shotguns, 50k stuff wins with no brain against 400k stuff
cause most people arenβt leg meta
and better gear gives you a higher survival chance
but no one said it would make you invincible
easiest way to get pain?
dehydration, getting shot, fractures
If you have the gym mess up your reps to break your arm.
because three shots to the thorax or 1 to the head is faster and more consistent
One message removed from a suspended account.
arena
i cba having
random people on team
not happening pal
men you make me cry
im not playing this shit til next wipe brother
like the game
ye
i cry men
many cry
many
maybe we hop on rust sometime tho?
yes
bet
hand, bugs, short wipe and just taking too much time
ye well how tf am i gonna differentiate between left and right click if im just smacking that shit
You kill him... lol
The first shot can black a leg, and then any shots to that same part of the body does more damage spread over the rest of the body. So yes, shotguns are very lethal in Tarkov, more so than in any other video game.
i would just let this one come naturally or jump of something high enough to break legs near scavs and shoot them
Get shot... Also, dont fully heal after a raid, and then start the next raid already in pain.
hi my cultist circle is empty and wont let me collect, any help?
alt+f4
lemme try π
That's usually the fix for everything
that work?
so what exactly is the problem? just got nothing back?
yep nothing back
you got tarkov'd
hoLD up
there is a fix
have you done anything yet
he rebooted
can someone help me? ive been tryna learn the game and i have most of the basics down, but i dont rlly know how to like actually go in and do stuff. RN im just broke asf, so if someone could help me grind out some money, or j teach me how to grind out some money, i'd appreciate it
i gotcha
want me to call ya?
if you go into a scav and back out at the matching screen, it seems to help some people
yes pls j gimme a couple minutes
fixed it for me at least
call me when youre ready
π
ahh rip
I know night raids are definitely best.... but does anyone have the better go-to strat for the water treatment facility on lighthouse to kill the rogues.
approach from the southeast corner of the facility
take a scope
okay cool
@edgy blade stay low, dont climb the rocks
Got it
@edgy blade southeast corner if the map is top to bottom, northeast if your map is left to right
Copy that, thank ya
If you want to do it in style, use a silenced DVL
That was my plan tbh lol
Was hoping to find a video of someone doing the same
so... dont pick up all those little meds you can already buy π
but great raid otherwise
Dont pick up anything worth less than 8 or 10k per slot
lol i spend so much money on meds to the point its ridicioulus
yes, but youre putting 3k items in your bag
if it's not worth at least 8 to 10k per slot
dont pick it up
^ this is great advice for any noobs
unless you havent gotten flea market yet
I'm level 21 lmao
yeah, so dont pick up trash... pay attnetion to prices, and then drop the BS
8k at the very minimum per slot
so if it's a 2x2 item, but only sells for 25k, that's only like 6k per slot
and therefore not worth picking up
how does 20 hits with m856a1 amount to this?
bottom being damage absorbed
like in what sense is that possible my guy is wearing a bagalary
armor buff
idk if youve noticed
wdym
but even sp6
gets tanked
m80 has like 50/50 damage/absorb
armor is so strong rn
why lol
sure armor is op but you get 1 tapped to the head, period
cause they eat more than they need to
like thats lame
Can sopmeone look at my stream aand tell m e what to ghet rid of/sell
search items on the wiki, it will tell you if an item is needed for a quest or not, best start
can someone help me get rid of shit in my stash
Yes dm me Iβll help u out
Anyone want to help me and my buddy do ground zero quests? We have had tarkov for years but took a break.
18+
whatever theyre goin for
look at the market sell low or gamble and go high or pick the middle
i picked middle
my moneys rough rn and the fea was near 200k so im hoping its a popular key
thank you
What did you put it for
whos this
use wiki
Was it lighthouse
yes
i was at the other side of the maop
What side
u gonna have to specify location and what killed u
Well it was a rogue
whats a good calibur to upgrade to? got flea, playing on pve with some buddy's this is what im rocking rn
not sure of some better 5.45 weapons, i'd prefer to stay in 5.45 as im low level traders, only just hit level 15 not to long ago.
that and bp rounds seem to be common so far in what iv been finding
hey is this a bug i cant get into a game as a scav its taking like 15+ minutes if so what do i do?
is tarkov installed on ur fastest storage device?
yes
tarkov loads reletively slow on a hdd, if u have a ssd or nvme make sure its on that
how am i alive xd
outside of that cant think of anything else to reccomend
He doesnt find match
cuz ur thorax is around
but, ur like nearly dead if u get hit in the head again
i got ya, answer the discord call
Na east
wym clear cache?
In launcher
can someone teach me how to pla ythis
The settings option
OHH ty
i mean, youre in the right place to ask questions... youtube 'how to get started tarkov', and watch a few videos
yea but ic ant understand most of the videos
my english isnt that good :c
i dont speak anything but english π¦
Find one in your language
^
Im sure there is
ok
what language do you speak?
ill try
chinese
For sure there is
k
Theres probably also a chinese Discord
Game has a lot of chinese players
check channel, should had language appropriate discord
this ones specifically english
Mostly danish tbh
whats a good armored rig to run? preferably t4 and up
Did it work
What level is your rag
1 lol this would be a flea buy
it sold already sorry for late reply
2.6 i think?
Yes tysm Iβm sorry Iβm typing on my phone I didnβt see it
This chat has been light af today
fairly
Watch ?????????? and millions of other Escape From Tarkov videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
how?
bro knew
you never played vs rogues?
okay, then ya should know better
thats horseshit
kinda hilarious you got suprised ya died there
nice rage bait
im not gonna argue with an idiot
Rogues beam people through that cut out all of the time. Heβs right, you should know better if youβre a lighthouse main. Also, you overpeeked.
I mean that was a crazy double over peek
my audio completely broke when a mortar strike began, if you get hit by one does it just remove your audio or something
WHAT!
WHAAAT

It can, like when you get shot in the head with a helmet.
i dont fuck with those rogues
but its a ringing?
Yep
that shout caught me off guard
shouldve had the clip software smh
Hwhaaat
at least i died in a ditch to where people might not notice
yeah medal is pretty good u have to edit the footage down, but u can have it record up to 5 minutes in the past
mmhm
i dont like how its overly aggressive about permissions
but wouldve been useful in this case
not the future? 
nah, get spider sense for that
is it fine to cycle ap rounds and rip rounds
like having them alternating
i personally wanted to do it because it sounded funny
why not just use ap rounds
flavor i guess
extra 1000 a bullet so you can kill someone slower π€―
is there any point to using a supressor in PVE? do ai actually respond to sounds or no
id hope so
lol
Yes and yes
hows this for lvl 15 build?
ummm... this guy has thousands of hours...
as do I, and youre wrong
Quite scuffed but if you shoot things itβs all the same in pve
happy?
yes
im not perfect at the game, not even good ig
π₯³
wdym
know a better build? im just using what i found off a vid thats 5.45x39
cus in tarkov
it's just not a great build, that's all
good players die to rogues all the time dont worry
Not a single part of that is the best attachment
honestly i wouldnt be as tilted if today hadnt been going so bad
Head over to #weapon-modding and search AKS
k
but like, ive died 9 times in a row
There was just no need for name calling, especially when you were wrong. Players arent going to feed you wrong information here, and if they do, others will be sure to let you know.
tarkov is good at that
im not doing bad this wipe either
its the tilter
thanks dad
youre welcome, son
i just generally dont appreciate people trying to invalidate my feelings
but its whatever
todays a super off day
down like 3.5 million roubles?
I understand, but they only responded because of the way you started the convo. Youre good, im not mad, im just disappointed.
lol
π€
same
have fun being dissappointed
brah, you clearly care, cause youre spending your time responding and talking about your feelings... pick a lane buddy
i'll have fun not caring that you care that i called someone an idiot for arguing with me
i care about the loss
not about this arguement rn
omg quit yapping
bro thinks hes my dad
Tell the guy who is crying or whatever lol
but idigress
Nah, just defending someone that you were unnecessarily rude to... But ok!
yeah i shouldnt have called him that
you dont need to make that point for me
thanks
omg this is starting to bother me now at this point, lets move on
i protect my bitches
lol
When I try SBIH from this spot, I get so many scavs roaming into my surroundings trying to kill me and I can't focus on sniping. I'm using suppressor btw. Any tips?
must get my money up
right in the center of scav spawns
might wanna find elsewhere perhaps
what do these little lines represent when using the sepcterDR scope?
i assume it has to do with lining up ur shot at a distane but i dont know how to translate it into what line i use to aim
It's also a famous sniping spot... I don't know how they do it
They spawn off to the left and right, so not really... :/
It depends on what round you use. It's a bit of trial and error.
ah
Thanks for replying. I know they spawn but what did you mean by not really?
you asked how you could avoid scavs there... you cant
they spawn at that checkpoint slightly up and to the left of those rocks, and spawn at the gas station slightly up and to the right
would someone be able to give some gameplay advice
absolutely, what's the issue?
Watch Surfin and millions of other Escape From Tarkov videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
want to see if you could advise my movement during this fight
i heard them ahead on the right, yet had lower ground, so i kinda pushed up a weird angle
first and foremost... dont spend timing ADSing... wastes your aim stamina
need some gamers to help me with a quest dm me for info
second, i wouldnt have pushed someone knowing you have only a pistol
i had the m700, just didnt think id do well with a bolt at close range
If anything, I would have stayed where you were, and looked for them with your scope
i see
so should only really push if its in my favor
i see
especially with that weapon selection you had
also... you could use a shotgun as a sidearm instead of a pistol
true
bc 90% of your shotguns will come back in insurance, cause no one wants it
and is more deadly
AND if all else fails, shoot them in the leg, to potentially black their legs and make them slow
gives you time to kill them or run away, if theyre not on painkiller already
need some gamers to help me with a quest dm me
doing this with a shotgun im saying, not the pistol
is there any situation in which i should take the initiative
when you know youve already hit the target, you know exactly where they are, and preferrably when you have an automatic weapon
Dont push fights when you have 0 intel...
you didnt even know what that guy had for a kit
ye
it's better to take fights you know you have a chance of winning, rather than turning the corner into 3 chads staring back at you
dont let the scent of a kill cloud your judgement
it's better to live without a kill then die
you could have stayed in that spot, and slowly stalked the player
what wouldve been the best way to disengage from that
thats what i was thinking, but i didnt like the idea of trying to backtrack in open field
hmm, probably turn around and run away, get around that previous hill, and then scope back in
but unfortunately, you were kind of in a bad spot altogether
so hug closer to this area
you didnt have much chance of winning that, bc yyou both heard each other
yeah
i didnt expect anyone from that side because i had cleared the spawns on the right side of the map
@hushed wigeon i mean, when retreating, always think about what's behind you ebtween you and your enemy
oh
if there's buildings or tree or boxes near you, keep those between you and your enemy
i see
you want to minimize the amount of time theyre looking at the back of your head lol
Shooting Range in your hideout allows you to test guns
boo
i hate shoreline
5 of these were done in a single raid
then ive only managed to find one other today
slightly offtopic is there any gun build that you'd recommend for labs
I recommend not going....
i dont even like to play labs
you need great bullets and great armor and helmet
if you dont have those 3 things, dont go
UNLESS... you could be a total rat, and take in like a double barrel shotgun, or a Kedr-B with a shit ton of mags and PSV ammo
and try to zero-to-hero basically
but it still costs 180k to get in, and you dont get insurance
well i wanna see if anyone in the server would be willing to help me out
someone like shep for ex
just dont wanna be a dead weight
just try #pvp-lfg or join a labs channel, and ask to tag along
any gun you might rec?
maybe mp5
anything with below 45 recoil, and great bullets
a saiga 12 with drum mags and flechette is fun too
flechette wrecks high tier armor
i love shotguns personally
i mean, 20 round of flechette to the chest will kill anything
can 2 or 3 level 5 armor
2 or 3 tap*
or load it with magnum buck, and spam faces or legs
oh
if youre going only for legs, use RIP rounds
leg meta is viable in Labs, cause there's not a lot of waist high cover
mm ok
You cant tell me that doesnt look fun to use
ive made one exactly like that but with a different scope
drum mags are only like 35k
it was fun
@hushed wigeon Get this rig, and you can get away with 1 20 rounder, and 2 or 3 10 rounders
OR
@hushed wigeon the shotgun mags also reload faster than regular bullets too
so even if you pump through your 20 rounder, you can refill it in like 10 seconds
i think ill do shotgun lol
shotguns are a ton of fun, and very deadly in tarkov
this is the onyl game that gets shotguns right
you can even 'snipe' with shotguns... Get a tri-hawk 3x scope, and slugs, and get 100+ meter headshots
someone even killed a rogue on lighthouse with a shotgun, with slugs, from the opposite end of the map on top of hte mountain
saw a clip on YT somewhere
well ty for helping me out with that
no problem, good luck in labs... youre gonna need it, but luckily, if youre running the shotgun, god forbid there is a heavy cheater, they wont even fuck with you, bc your gun/ammo isnt worth killing you for
cause it's cheap
lol
can anyone give me some tips on how to approach pvp? always seem to find myself in the most disadvantageous positions possible
Dont take fights against targets you havent seen yet... As in, dont run towards enemies blind... If you dont know how kitted they are, you dont necessarily want to be the aggressor, unless you know youre going to surprise them
Dont turtle up, constantly reposition, if they know where you are, theyre going to hear you no matter what you do... so staying moving makes them constantly have to reposition to get better aim themselves
dont hold angles the enemy will expect
Fire more bullets than less... newer players seem to be nervous to shoot
Best thing you can do to improve - clip every single death and re-watch them. Think what you did wrong, what the other guy did right and what could you change next time
it's better to have less strong bullets and shoot 2x as many
more shots down range the better
plus, if you shoot very little, and dont move, im gonna know youre scared
and im going to exploit it
but firing a lot more, even if you dont hit the target, lets them know you mean business
also, can also mag dump towards them, but then turn and run, cause either you have good loot or perhaps a quest item you dont wanna die with
Never take a fight you cant win
killing a 3 man is awesome, but you need very specific circumstances to come out on top in a situation like that
thank you very much, i realize that for the most part i tend to do the opposite of what you are saying i should do so this helps quite a bit
dont get jumpy... if youre in a bush on Woods and you hear multiple footsteps, your best bet is not move at all... at the very least, wait till they pass you a good distance, then pick them off with headshots from behind
but if youre weapon isnt surpressed, youre going to be detected even more quickly
also, dont camp in places with only one exit (this usually applies to being indoors, unless it's an outdoor choke point or something)
you dont wanna be camping in a room the size of a grenade's blast
you legitimately shouldnt really be camping at all, unless youre going for sniper kills or need kills in a certain area, basically unless the game is asking you to camp
Being more 'active' might get you killed a bit more at first, but after a while it will feel a lot better.'
And as you learn the typical PMC pathing, then youll be able to make educated decisions about avenues to travel across the maps in order to avoid players as much as possible
or the opposite
@nocturne mortar Can you run streets?
not very comfortable with it but yes?
learn to scav it, take note of all filing cabinets, and loot all of them that you can, and extract
there are probably close to 100 filing cabinets on the map
and have the best loot pools of the things that are 'easy' to loot as a scav
id say 1 in 50 filing cabinets I loot has a labs card, and maybe 1 in 75 has documents with intel
180k for the card, and 400k for the documents on the flea market
and you can loot 25-30 filing cabinets, if not other loot along the way
each time you scav it
after 5-10 scav runs youll have a decent idea of places for the cabinets
and other loot... i guarantee that if you have at least 30+ slots on your scav
youll make at least 2 mil on the flea market worth in 5 surviving raids
ive made about 6 million on streets only scaving today
just bullshitting along the way, and didnt fight anyone
oh wow, didn't realize the money that can be made there. Ill def load into streets next scav run
got killed once, but it happens
check anything that looks office ish
or that isnt like a restaurant or market
so cabinets, pcs, etc?
yup, any duffles and any toolboxes too
checking those 4 items only will still make you a ton
as you learn what stuff is worth, you can continue looting when youre full if you know that some of your shit isnt worth much
okay got it, i nomrally skip duffles so thats good to know
then loot more and drop the shitty stuff and fill it with the better stuff
but only do that if there's loot like near you extract
dont go wandering when youre full on loot
better to survive with mediocre loot
instead of dying with great loot
anyone that did create a distraction part 2 did u have to wait some time until the great heights quest and rep transfer to arena ?
thanks sm for the tips, ill put them to good use π
Why do I keep dying to level 40βs-30s on ground zero as a level 15
Thought there was two diff lobbyβs for level 20s and up
you queuing with people?
hm
So I just keep running it
it shouldnt put you with level 20s plus
you should learn more
Well it has been sooo
Yea ik just havin trouble
Tried learning customs just keep getting lost
hello, I am newbie in tarkov and I got problem with speed of raid loading it's taking to 10 minutes, and I have gtx1660
how can I reduce it?
I have a 1080 and it takes me at most 5
did you install it on your hard drive?
While GPU can impact loading times, its not the biggest factor
SSD->Ram->CPU/GPU (Not sure on the last one)
Do you have an SSD or HDD?
I have both, but game on HDD
well, there's your issue
You can just move the folder to your SSD, should work
thank you sir
Is using windows calibration or nvidia to adjust gamma bannable in this game?
No. Why would it be?
aight thx, @upbeat elk, I am just curious because they might ban you for whitening dark areas so you can see more clearly
Nah, that would be crazy.
aight thx appriciate it
grenades are hilariously underappreciated at lower levels
no, and adjusting gamma is the best way to make the game brighter
in game brightness does nearly nothing
are there any new ways to gain scav rep other than killing pmc traitors or train coop and vehicle exctracts
Fence quests
What is the quest to unlock the purchase of Tier 5 plates @ Prapor ?
you mean korund plate? Reconaissance
how do you adjust via nvidia?
nah 6B13
in nvidia control panel
its from energy crisis, mechanics task
yo so im not a beginner but i do need some help with something
ask away
so im trying to recover my account password via email reset and its straight up not sending me the email lol
ive been trying for like three days
i know this isnt in-game related but i honestly donno where else to ask
write BSG support maybe
hey, i completed gunsmith 25 a few days ago but i still cant barter for the pkm
does anyone know why/how to fix it
do you have mechanic level 4?
yep
id say just click on the mechanic 4 filter and double check. bc theres no reason it shouldnt be there
the flea can be buggy like that sometimes, actually go to mechanic and look at his shop inventory
have you refreshed the store or restarted your game?
damn, id say make a ticket or something, might be bugged for you.
its really annoying
why you wanna run a pkm so bad anyways lol
im on pve so im just enjoying using fun guns
i got one from kaban a while ago but its getting to be really low dura from the use
ohh, its probably a pve bug. new games = new bugs
its been bugged for a lot of people, pve and pvp @upbeat elk @royal shale
is there mayhaps a known fix?
π
no
Hey, I'm just starting my wipe (lvl 11) any tips to get some things done?
what are you struggling with specifically?
More or so just surviving, I'm moving slowly around the map but I keep dying to people I don't hear to are just sitting still in places :/
do you die at the start of the raid often?
No, not really
more mid raid
on what map?
could you post your standard kit?
Customs I'm trying to do delivery from the past
I'm not on my computer rn so I can't post a kit but its basically just whatever I have or like an UZI from peacekeeper
post a screenshot pls
I can't right now sorry
no worries, do it later
Okay
headphones help a lot to anticipate, where people are
Yeah I always run headsets
any except GGsh are allright
Another thing is you are propably suffering from being too predictable.
If you shoot scavs on the way to extract: players can hear it and anticipate your path
Okay
Customs is specially full of chockepoints
where ppl tend to wait, if they hear anyone fighting
movement is key in tarkov. If you fought, made noice, move. DonΒ΄t loot to long on one place
1 min max after shooting is already to much
Okay
donΒ΄t move on predictable paths: donΒ΄t move from spawn to hot zone areas (quests, loot) and from there to extracts.
Choose unpredictable paths
woods is great
Shoreline is a good example of how people spawn and camp the path to resort from other spawns
Overall: always ask yourself in small and big things: i am to predictable? Do it in fights, do it in overall moving around the map.
Movement is the key, map knowledge is the key
Okay, I know most things about maps its just everything else I need to improve on
map knowlegde also means to now timing: at what time to expect people where
Yeah I know the player spawns on my main maps
if you die on a map 1000 times you learn 1000 different points on where to expect enemies
Yeah
Whenever I get into pvp I always die to a second player
First one most of the time dies :/
if you kill one guy, you are predictable. fall back, circle and flank around, engage again
Okay
also having teammates helps but finding the right ones for you can be challenging
Yeah I got a friend who plays sometimes
hey, as a scav i killed a player but an AI scav took the loot, how can i get the loot back >?
A) you don't. B) you kill the scav, lose fence rep and probably die to other ai on the way to extract.
i have max scav rep, can i make the scav follow me and just kill him at the extract ?
Can always try
worked!! and i think it was worth it
Nice haha hopefully scav rep was only hit by 0.05 or something too
Lol ye normally 0.05 ish
what makes the difference ?
If you're at above 6 rep, it will always bring you down to somewhere around 5.9
i see
So if you have 10 rep, you will get -4.xx
I thought it was always to 5.9, but since youre 5.97, then im not sure
maybe you gained .07 rep that raid before the losses, idk
Still .05 missing
0.01 for extraction
yea just gonna spam 3 factoy scav runs
am 20k exp before leveling my intel center to 3
my scavs will be around 5 mins ish
how the heck do you get in the garage for urban medicine
Crawl
lol didnt work the first couple times ty
control panel
True
how do u farm ur scav rep?
obliterate pmcs on factory that kill other scavs
and V-ex as PMC
i see i see
anyone want to help me in ground zero? have to get the three quests, Therapist, peacekeeper and mechanic
i need stash space. What should i sell
empty all rigs
empty all bags
put all bags in biggest bag
sell all non-armored rigs
once you do that hmu and I'll help with the details if you want
the issue is i have no space to empty rigs :/
everything is full all sellaqbles in junnk box aswell
put rig on, empty it
start with bags
put bag on, empty it, put new bag in the now empty bag, repeat
alr ill do that
the rigs hold more when full so ill keep them full
lmao
it's a classic pitfall made by new players
keep doing it all you like
but it fucks your inventory
why?
what do i do if the email that my tarkov is linked to doesn't exist anymore?
can you change it on the website?
nah i cant login without it but its a deleted email
It's a blocky item that can't form fit in smaller spots, so even though you get more space it's a big block instead of small items that are easier to tetris into place. You store your stuff inside containers, meaning you can't easily see everything you have, and that results in crowding.
There's some psychological effect where people don't like pulling from containers that are full, it's weird.
And if your stash gets full, if you have a bunch of full rigs in there, it takes FOREVER to sort it out. Other reasons as well, but you do you.
It's a classic mistake
yeah your kinda fucked. you will have to rebuy
whats a good gun for medium range/long distance gameplay? like i want something that has a high rate of fire, but can also be used to take on sniper scavs, or do a little bit of sniping with
HK
mk47
how is this build? anything you would change?
im running a specterDR scope
the handguard and the stock
and the foregrip
to what?
If anyone needs help and is looking for a group to run with I currently have about 8-10 guys who play pretty regularly. DM me if you want to join up and ill be on most of the day as well.
then it wont really matter. you dont need meta in pve
use whatever sight you want
no, true i dont need meta but iv been using pve to work on my fundemanetals and understanding of the game in areas i was lacking, gearing myself up is one of em
generally what principles do iw ant to apply to just be able to make gun builds myself? that way im not constantly asking someone
maximise ergo and recoil reduction
@edgy plover how long should i use hk for and when should i consider swapping it out? currently im lvl 16 with most traders lvl 1
swap guns out at 95 percent durability
i ment like, can the hk last me the rest of my pve playthrough lol
or at some point should i use something different
HK is very good
Swap when you get bored
yeah but you will probably get bored and want to use something else
any other reccomendations for things to try? i like things that have the feel of a HK, things that are good close, and medium and can do Some long range to
Lowest recoil possible while keeping ergo above like 40
why 95%?
why no lower then 40?
Thatβs just an arbitrary line where I find it starts to feel too sluggish
Thatβs 93%
oh
yes. and yes
is there an easy way to compare components when your modding?
ty
in the edit build menu
use edit present and open up the white arrow
Yea have the info menu open and just hover over things
show info button and when you hover over an item it'll show what will change
oh, i didnt know u could just hover
rate the m4
thats handy
is hk still worth using if i can only buy M855 rounds reliably?
have you used it this wipe?
feels really damn good
check flea for 56a1
what to use instead?
sights are all personal preference
upgrade the suppressor to the g-lok if you want meta
ik but you cant use the scroll aim. use red dot razor 1-6x instead
I mean yea for like 3x the cost lol
maybe depends on cost saving for stash lv 2
Yea then stick with what you have
it's quite good
ik but its meta as you can magnify with 0 noise
whats some other good 1x/4x scopes? and should i consider other ones or for my purposes is a 1x/4x good enough
thx i have some m995 aswell. not enough for a full mag tho whre can i find it?
I find whenever you need to magnify, the thing you're trying to shoot at far away can't hear you
burris, vortex, vudu, elcan, valday, shmitd and bender
thats true. im short sighted though so i end up having to magnify at something above like 45 metres
the smooth aim is a really nice feature
and the vortex is my fave sight, I have one IRL and was hyped when they brought it in-game
dont see those in here
bro aitn they like fucking 10k irl
or does it require one of the scope rings?
yes 30mm scope rings
you need a 30mm scope mount
k
get the lobabarev one
k
maybe in stinky EU land
like 1k here
I think I paid 800
ok thats a lot tho
still dont see the ones he was talking about these are proper sniper scopes
