[lean dagger]

Whats the key I need to get into the woods bunker, to get the 60 round ak mags?

[lunar dagger]

can anybody help me hunt for killa?

[undone drum]

#pvp-lfg

[lunar dagger]

@undone drum im asking everywhere i just need help

[undone drum]

you need help by grouping with people right?

[maiden marlin]

WTF

partizan killed sturman

[maiden marlin]

how is someone supp to help u kill a boss

[lunar dagger]

@maiden marlin show me good routes to take, how to fight him, good los. i mean theres a million ways to teach someone how to do something efficiently

[maiden marlin]

youtube.com

or run around throwing flashbangs till u hear voiceline

[lunar dagger]

one thing to watch a video whole other to have someone comfortable doing it show me

[undone drum]

show you in a raid?

when you grouped up with them?

[lunar dagger]

you guys were very helpful tho! definitely wasnt a waste of time talking to either one of you

[undone drum]

can you answer my questions?

[lunar dagger]

i mean i dont know how else someone would shoe me somwthing

[undone drum]

by asking questions here and people answering. This is how i show people how to navigate woods or loot ligthouse

while doing my own raids

[lunar dagger]

navigating woods or looting lighthouse is just a little different than fighting the most aggressive and hard boss in the game

[undone drum]

Ok, since the only way to learn for you is grouping up with people, use #pvp-lfg
or just join one of the interchange VCs and ask politely if you can tag along

you can also join discord described in #sherpa-info and fill out a ticket

[lunar dagger]

after your first response you wouldve known ive already done that. just because u sit here and like to type to help i thought i could maybe luckily find someone who would help me

enjoy your keystrokes im going to go find killa

[wet axle]

lol

[undone drum]

someone who sits here in this channel for a long time now, i can tell you, that your request here is pointless.

[valid salmon]

What was his request

[undone drum]

show me how to hunt killa

[valid salmon]

Is he slow

[undone drum]

no idea

[wet axle]

slow and toxic

[valid salmon]

Why didn’t he just go to Sherpa server or lfg

[undone drum]

i mean it as a friendly advise, he kinda took it personally

[wet axle]

or just

"how to kill killa"

in google dot com

some people can type in here but can't type thee

[undone drum]

he meant it as someone sitting with him and showing him

in voice channel

going with him in raids

[valid salmon]

I feel like if he asked a Sherpa to help him, the sherpa might give up

[undone drum]

Some people do this, but this kinda effort for "show me" is kinda rare

a lot of people in sherpa discord offer exactly that

but its super rare in this channel

[toxic zinc]

Kaban and Kollontay?

[toxic zinc]

oh

[maiden marlin]

goons an parti >:)

[kindred summit]

is there a helmet and attachment that gives the coverage of say the trooper helment/chops but black? Tired of standing out in tan
gotta be a level 4 helmet

[patent wadi]

plenty https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Headwear have a look you can sort by class

[kindred summit]

I mean for attachments that go on the helmet itself

[patent wadi]

like a faceshield?

[kindred summit]

like these but on a not tan helmet. Not exactly these but similar coverage.
No faceshields because I need that slot for t-7s

[patent wadi]

no chops are unique to airframe

[kindred summit]

I know but I mean something that has similar coverage

but darker

[patent wadi]

no especially if youre looking for ear, jaw coverage,

otherwise youd be looking at faceshield, deathshadow and cqcm

[kindred summit]

What about the neosteel? Does wearing the jaw coverage block earpro?

can you also wear a deathshadow with it like you can with the heavy trooper and chops?

[patent wadi]

apparently you can wear earphone with the helmet youre right that would be the closest thing

no shadow death mask

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Diamond_Age_NeoSteel_helmet_ballistic_mandible#Conflicting_items

if you can look it up under conflicting item tab

[kindred summit]

sticking with a deathshadow/heavy trooper combo then, thank you

[patent wadi]

though as far as i know its only obtainable through raids so its kind of unreliable

no problem!

[sinful valve]

Hey guys when did we last pvp wipe?

I’ve been away for most of the year

[stiff cape]

??wipdates

??wipe

[red thistle]

The most recent wipe was on <t:1724133600:F> (<t:1724133600:R>). Also see ??wipedates

[maiden marlin]

??delay

[opal zealot]

hey i was hopping to get someone to duo with me im new and have no cluse how to play the game

[stark frost]

does anybody wanna play with me and my friend we both just got the game today

[bold kernel]

why is this like that

fast help asap

i cant estract

it was like that from beginning

[bold kernel]

lets go

age?

[stark frost]

18

[bold kernel]

What servers

[tidal lagoon]

You interacted with a transit meaning u are now forced to use it

[bold kernel]

so when i went there i couldn’t do anything so basically i went to interchange and died 😀

[obsidian solar]

just alt f4 in transit as soon as timer hits 0

wait a min or two and reload game

you wont be on the other map

[edgy plover]

Just as soon as you’re in the load screen

[obsidian solar]

its been throwing me into next map if i wait for it to go black

but also only when i try to reload to fast so idk i now just do it thru task manager instead of alt f4ing

[crude ridge]

How do I send an invite for the LFG VC

[main peak]

Why do I keep getting "error as occurred" when loading into a game and it happens for me and my friend

[pale wave]

it seems you both had an error

[obsidian solar]

ah the occuring is upon u

basically ur shadow banned til next wipe

[pale wave]

dude stop trolling

[obsidian solar]

im so serious rn

[pale wave]

when something liek this happens always go in the launcher, clear cache and verify integrity of game files

[obsidian solar]

nikita personally told me

[pale wave]

[obsidian solar]

^

if i dont find a btc in my next 2 streets raid im mailing a pipe bomb to bsg hq

[pale wave]

it wipes in 3 weeks dude

[obsidian solar]

true

[toxic zinc]

I predict the 10.01.25 to be wipe

they said christmas / new year and most of the time they take longer and they want to get a lot of stuff out with the wipe

[pale wave]

thats absolutely impossible

[obsidian solar]

i think he is doing the werid date order

[pale wave]

its not a thursday

[obsidian solar]

non usa

[pale wave]

thank you but my brain isn't smooth I knew he was talking about january

[main peak]

am rn

[main peak]

it happens a lot

[pale wave]

regardless of the month being first or not

[toxic zinc]

weird date order? Ur telling me that 01.10.25 would be "normal"?!

also christmas and newyear is in january for russians so it will probaby not be in december anyways

[obsidian solar]

for here yes

[toxic zinc]

for the rest of the world day month year is standard tho

??roadmap

[red thistle]

The preliminary roadmap for EFT and Arena is available here - #eft-announcements message

[obsidian solar]

well id assume they would add snow sooner rather than later but idk i didnt play when it was there

game optimizing going to drop my frames even more

[toxic zinc]

snow improved my frames last time

I had to turn my gamma down a lot on daytime cause the snow would blind me irl but other than that it was great

[obsidian solar]

yeah i read that somewhere

im getting a 9800x3d so it wont matter anyways tbf

[toxic zinc]

ouh nice

im saving for that, its not even that expensive but i need ram and mobo and psu and case aswell lol

[obsidian solar]

im just watiting for them to be in stock again but if i cant get one by christmas ill just get one off ebay they are only like 60-100 more than retail

yeah i already have a am5 board

and ill be able to sell my 7700x for 200 or a little more

so only 270 for it but ill get a new psu bc im getting a new gpu when the 50 series comes out

[toxic zinc]

which one u got? I heard theres issues with b650 or something

[obsidian solar]

i havent had any i have a gigabye x ax gaming v2

its a b650 i havent had any issues

i use pbo and have high freq and low latency as well which most cant do but idk the technical details of that

[bold kernel]

I have the Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX ICE and haven’t had any issues in the 300 hours since I installed it.

[bold kernel]

Personally I wouldn’t buy pc parts off of eBay especially not a 9800x3d. They come in stock on Amazon every once in a while at msrp but I got mine from microcenter.

[pale wave]

I think the american system is better in general just because when you create folders with dates it is sorted by months instead of giving you mixed days and months order

[pale wave]

depends on the language

it jsut makes sense in englihs because you say january 10th

in other languages no, in spanish for example 10 de enero, so 10/01

[pale wave]

yeah ercently upgraded to 7800x3D and had to change everything lol

[toxic zinc]

then you would go with year month day tho

[pale wave]

yes would be even better

dude wtf is up with the scavs

3rd time in a row some scav beams me one tap the head

like, insta death

one even spawned on my face and shot me

[toxic zinc]

scavs can be pretty hard on new players, you will learn how to deal with them with some more experience. Takes some time

[pale wave]

lol

[toxic zinc]

[pale wave]

but seriously this is nuts

all insta beam to head

https://outplayed.tv/escape-from-tarkov/D2VKk2

[toxic zinc]

also just to settle the debate. Month-Day-Year is used by 4 countries compared to day-month-year which is the rest of the world and year-month-day being used worldwide cause its ISO 8601

[toxic zinc]

where was he even? like in bottom left corner of the room or wat

[pale wave]

https://outplayed.tv/escape-from-tarkov/0gMdwm

is this ISO 8601?

this is 100% BS

[toxic zinc]

no that is pure bullshit

haha

[pale wave]

and now I get the level 20 with 1.0 KD teleporting and instantly beaming my head gg

[jovial python]

anyone know how to get ref

[pale wave]

https://outplayed.tv/escape-from-tarkov/76y2nV

even tried to shoot me through wall lol

[pale wave]

you get a task early on

to find a poster on woods and planting it on customs

[devout mirage]

anyone willing to run with me ? just got the game 2 days ago

[warped abyss]

Soo, what starter weapon would you recommend? And are there any money farming routes/techniques in Tarkov?

[frozen geode]

Hey. Are you EU or NA based?

[frozen geode]

There are some routes you can find on YT but if you are a new player just run the map you know and pick up everything. Explore to get to know the map better.

[toxic zinc]

anything 5.45 is good because you can get ammo for it easily in raid. Scav running is the easiest way to make money and the moment you hit lv15 it gets even easier

[frozen geode]

Guns are not rly worth investing in at the beginning as you have other more important things to spend your money on and the ammo avaliable to you is not worth modding the gun most of the time.

[warped abyss]

I know interchange, factory, customs, and ground zero from some tarkov knockoff, soo

Yeah

[toxic zinc]

Streets is the best map to make money on as a PMC or Scav with low risk. But the map is low performance depending on your hardware and diffcult at start until you learn the basics of the map

[warped abyss]

So i need to sell everything that i find, or should i keep smth for the hideout or smth?

[frozen geode]

Inter should be good money now, with electro items and food being expensive.

[frozen geode]

There is a list of items you need to keep for your hideout and quests on tarkov wiki.

Rest is for sell and you need to get yourself junk boxes.

[warped abyss]

Oh thanks!

[frozen geode]

After lvl 15 you sell items on flee and that's where the money is comming from.

As they are usually more expensive than selling them to therapist.

If you need more assistance join sherpa hub as it's easier for us to check messages there than here.

#sherpa-info message

[devout mirage]

NA

[frozen geode]

Sadly I am EU based. You can also check hub and make a ticket or ask one of our helpful-members for help.

[green escarp]

Hi, why was my friend unable to extract

we both went to mira ave where i shot the flare

we went in but the extract didnt work

[warped abyss]

Okey!

[remote kettle]

did they interact with the transit beforehand?

[frozen geode]

He pressed interaction button before going to the extract. He can press two times o and he will see that extracts are red. He can only transfer now.

And transfer is next to the mira ave extraction.

[sinful valve]

Hi guys I know BSG reverted armor to a more tanky system after their plate rework and I want to know if that changed in the last year or so

[humble otter]

It happened this year

Last wipe armor plates were added to the game. But the plates didn’t cover the entire torso.

This wipe they made the plates bigger for hitbox and basically protect the entire torso

[pale wave]

still same, tanky as hell, T6 bullets mostly useless

[bold kernel]

A lot of people say that there is a lot of cheaters but with 50h I haven’t seen any

and they don’t seems to be there at all cuz the expensive loot is still there

[pale wave]

good lad

you do have cheaters, but not nearly as many as people say there are

[toxic zinc]

The "A lot of people" are probably inexperienced players that get frustrated at their own skill and will blame any death to cheaters. Dont fall into that rabbit hole and ur fine

in maybe 100 raids I meet max 5 cheaters and 2 of them will kill me

[bold kernel]

that what I thought

it’s a skill issue

[sinful valve]

Yeah I was playing during this phase and tbh the only thing we needed was maybe a different damage model for vitals vs non vitals (the dreaded armpit one shot lol)

[pale wave]

the thing is its very hard to balance damage

the easier it is to kill rapidly the rattier peopel get

[sinful valve]

I understand that mindset but tbh after these armor changes I maybe had the best pvp wipe I had since starting

[royal scarab]

iv done like 100 raids now and still havnt met any

i thought itd be a lot worse than it is

[sinful valve]

It was amazing playing after the recoil buff as well

[sinful valve]

What region are you in?

[royal scarab]

eu

[sinful valve]

Also, unfortunately there are cheaters who join raids, run to high tier loot then disappear

[royal scarab]

i have seen some pcs just randomly empty

and stuff like that

[sinful valve]

I’d say it’s decently common in Eu but the game has lost a lot of players by now

[royal scarab]

boxes with a mysterious gap

[sinful valve]

After PVE was introduced, a large portion of players moved there

[sinful valve]

Not to mention PvP wipe is the longest I think it’s ever been but this Christmas will be a very interesting and fun time for you

Early wipe tarkov is the best lol

[royal scarab]

people wont eat 1000 of my shitty bullets

[sinful valve]

Haha yeah but the fun is in running with guns that jam up in battle

Or having a handful of shots for guns you can’t buy ammo for

[undone drum]

take fast firing weapons, take high HP ammo, aim for legs

[royal scarab]

hard for me to aim at all

and most of the time i get in a fight im dead before i fire my first shot

[undone drum]

thats the neat part: just spray and pray

[royal scarab]

lol

[sinful valve]

That’s an information problem

[undone drum]

wanna some pvp tipps?

[royal scarab]

yes

[real fiber]

Never run

Unless in a highly exposed environmenr

[sinful valve]

I’d recommend learning the maps (tarkov map genie) and figuring out the hot zones

[royal scarab]

so i can get pinged in the head easier

[royal scarab]

i already know the maps

[real fiber]

Run and get heard then, your call

[royal scarab]

i dont run indoors unless i know someone already knows where i am

[real fiber]

Most fights in pvp are because one heard the other. You have no idea how far running will reach someone else

[real fiber]

Don’t run anywhere unless exposed. Simply.

[royal scarab]

i gues

[real fiber]

You run, people hear you, people come for you

[undone drum]

The biggest wisdom that will be true for 10 hrs or 10 000 hours.
Never play predictable. Take unpredictable paths, peak unpredictable angles

[sinful valve]

I understand, but if you’re getting shot often before getting a bullet out that means you’re either moving through crowded areas or you’re too noticeable. Some doors spawn closed, some open. Things like that make it easier to know somebody is near

[royal scarab]

yes

the thing is with maps like custom its all crowded

and some parts even more crowded

[real fiber]

Depends, customs is highly about the spawns as well

Lots of spawns near each other

[royal scarab]

yea

[sinful valve]

Yes he’s right

[undone drum]

I would highly disagree with Alma Meowel. You can´t generally say "don´t run".
But his advise is important in the broader context of "unpredictability"
Don´t run when it makes you predictable - for example in side on wood

[royal scarab]

im learning the spawns on customs fairly well

[sinful valve]

I honestly didn’t like customs for most of my first and second wipe

[royal scarab]

yea

[royal scarab]

im only going there for tasks

[sinful valve]

It’s like a pubstomp map

At late wipe doing those starter tasks feels impossible because you’re moving through high traffic areas and people have thermals or show up just to kill as many ppl as possible

[real fiber]

Lol. You run, they hear you over 60m away, its not about being unpredictable, is its so they don’t hear you 60m away. If you’re out in some open field: run yes. If you’re in a forest, don’t run, avoid the bushes.

If you’re on metal: you run, they hear it miles away

[undone drum]

i wish you only the the best good sir

[real fiber]

Lol, alright sure

[royal scarab]

literally

[real fiber]

Only upside is people have done these quests long ago so they most likely wont be visited, unless some rat decides to wait timmies

[sinful valve]

Tbh it depends on the map too. You can get a lil cheeky in woods or snoreline (not the resort though)

[royal scarab]

i swear people r just at dorms to kill

[real fiber]

Ofc, lots of safes, marked room, high traffic

[sinful valve]

Oh you were going to dorms? 😭 that’s why you’re dying immediately

[royal scarab]

which makes it super hard for me to get tasks done unless i get a god spawn

[sinful valve]

Dorms is hell

[royal scarab]

yes i got 1 more task to do there

chemical part 2 i think

[royal scarab]

atleast for now

[real fiber]

If you gotta task to dorms, go near the end of the raid, if no one’s ratting, and theres no player scav, you’ll be alright

[sinful valve]

Best way to survive dorms imo is to either spawn near and take control early or go screw around till most of the map is dead

[undone drum]

Customs is a chockepoint map. People will camp chockepoints,
if you go there from the start.
"Don´t play predictable" means here: don´t move around where and when people expect you to be.
Don´t go to dorms or through chockepoints, after spawn.
Let the raid cool off, the chads extract

[royal scarab]

well alright

i HATE waiting but i guess i gotta

[sinful valve]

Well, put it this way

[royal scarab]

it just means theres player scavs thatll kill me instead because im a dumb fuck and suck

[undone drum]

don´t wait! spawn and loot around

[royal scarab]

yea i do

[sinful valve]

Make it a loot run yeah that’s what I was gonna say

[undone drum]

you will get there, dw

[sinful valve]

Listen bro it took me hundreds of hours to really git gud

Just enjoy the fear because at some point it goes away a bit and you start to miss it

[royal scarab]

i just gotta play slower i guess

[royal scarab]

lol yes iv had that with other games

[undone drum]

tried with teammates?

[royal scarab]

one high level guy carried me on shoreline for signal

thts about it

iv only played solo

[bold kernel]

maybe u wanna try playing with sherpas or experienced players

[sinful valve]

Yeah there’s a video out there about this special forces guy emphasizing that being behind enemy lines alone is pretty much a death sentence

He makes it a point to say that having at least one person with you makes covering your sectors way easier

Because 1 person has to account for 360 degrees. With 2 people, generally you have to worry about half that

[royal scarab]

even when i stare intensley round a corner checking everything ill still end up missing someone

[real fiber]

Not particularly: if you spawn near the derailed train or by smugglers boat, you got closest spawn. Run in there, grab the case, jump by bathroom window of 2nd story building. Rest depends where your extract is if you absolutely want to get out

[sinful valve]

There’s a lot of variables to this

[royal scarab]

iv done that twice and died on the way out

[sinful valve]

Do you understand gun MOA?

[royal scarab]

whats that

[real fiber]

If your extract is toward zb-013, where do you go

[royal scarab]

nowhere near that fortress

[sinful valve]

MOA stands for meters of angle. Every gun in tarkov has a different number value for it and it’s your accuracy stat

[real fiber]

Sorryc meant zb-011, i always get both confused

[sinful valve]

Basically, for each whole 1 MOA, your bullet has a possibility to land about 1 inch away from where you shot

[real fiber]

Do you hug the wall from the left or go towards bus station to the right

[sinful valve]

That’s not accounting for bullet drop or leaning sideways while shooting

[royal scarab]

this would roughly look like a route id take

[undone drum]

thats exactly the timing, when other arrive there as well for pvp

[royal scarab]

itd vary but yea around that

[real fiber]

See, thsts where you get got, if you go hug the left wall, lots of people will come through there if their spawn is military checkpoint

Delayed route spawn

[royal scarab]

so dont hug the wall?

[sinful valve]

Don’t hug walls unless you need cover

They make you stick out

[real fiber]

If you go bit more to the right to climb where the train is, you have a visual near the derailed train, any oncoming traffic

Then you can follow the « sniper rock » by tower and hug the wall till checkpoint

[sinful valve]

Green on white is easy to spot

[royal scarab]

i just gotta try and think harder about where people will probably be

[sinful valve]

Better to move slow in more wooded areas

[real fiber]

3 common ones are: near the wall of car extract for dorms, near the train and crackhouse wall for fortress or split in the middle for construction

[sinful valve]

Oh yeah wall to Zb-011 has gotten me in a TON of fights

[real fiber]

In my experience ive rarely seen people take a route near the bus station as the road from bridge « will get you shot »

Or straight into the woods between construction and 3 story dorms

A few people move in mechanic building (the small indoor part between fortress and crackhouse)

Only problem with that one is you gotta make sure fortress doesnt have anyone as well as construction

[royal scarab]

and if they do thats tough for me

[real fiber]

Hence the part i say dont run

[sinful valve]

Construction is a busy area but I think it’s a viable spot to move through if you’re going slow

[real fiber]

Its a dead angle from fortress and construction got the blue fence covering a good bit

So you check the machine guns, you walk around and if you hear the slightest thing in fort. You assume someone is there

A big pvp mindset is assume someone is always there

[royal scarab]

i died to a goon or something from one of them machine guns

[real fiber]

Check corners even if you think « eh never anybody here »

[royal scarab]

yea

[real fiber]

Yeah, that mechanic part wont allow them for that

[sinful valve]

Btw dude don’t ever adjust pov

[real fiber]

Thats the neat trick, not enough LOS (line of sight) i believe

[sinful valve]

It makes scoping and sighting inaccurate

[royal scarab]

the fov u mean?

[sinful valve]

Yes

[royal scarab]

which part is mechanic

[real fiber]

Thats a double edged advice, lower fov makes enemies easier to see farther, but recoil is bigger and you see bit less

Higher fov makes easier recoil but man do I feel blind

[sinful valve]

Haha yeah but tbh the recoil is in a really good place atm

[real fiber]

That small building with a truck in it

[royal scarab]

this is my fov

[royal scarab]

ah ok i was suspecting it was that

[sinful valve]

Yeah tbh I’d turn it down to min but that’s just me

[real fiber]

Wellp, best of luck to you, try giving it a try, the less running, might surprise you how many people you can catch off guard

[royal scarab]

alright

[real fiber]

If you still want help, when im free i can hop on pvp

[royal scarab]

i always play max fov on all games thats painfull for me

[royal scarab]

id be down

[sinful valve]

Well hey, if that’s how you enjoy the game that’s fine

I totally feel the same way but on tark I just learned to live with it

[royal scarab]

loll

if i continue having a hard time spotting people i might turn it down a bit more

[dark trail]

looking back at my clips I think to myself how tf did I spot that dude bc half the time they are little specks on my screen

[sinful valve]

Bro so real

[royal scarab]

gonna put a tac30 on an aks 74u

[sinful valve]

I have a clip of fighting at power switch for ZB-013 and you barely see the guy because he was hiding prone

[dark trail]

tac30 goated

[sinful valve]

I always hated that sight lmao

[dark trail]

why

[sinful valve]

Just preference

[remote kettle]

the big ass circle in it is annoying

poopoo sight picturr

[sinful valve]

I don’t really use LPVO’s but I like the schmidt and bender and the razer

[dark trail]

Not if you remove it

[sinful valve]

VUDU is good too

[remote kettle]

wdym remove it lol

[sinful valve]

A lot of guns look badass with canted red dots too

[dark trail]

Just remove it…

[sinful valve]

Sometimes I rock a dedicated 4x with a side mounted rds

[remote kettle]

ragebait?

[dark trail]

No

[remote kettle]

then what are you talking about

[undone drum]

how should i rock my 3-20 sight on AK
i need that canted for close range

[remote kettle]

he died I think

[sinful valve]

3-20 is sick work 💀

[undone drum]

the perfect sight

[remote kettle]

Razor and vudu on top

[sinful valve]

3-10 I can understand… on a bolt action rifle 😭

[toxic zinc]

Bravo4 with ff3 is best

[remote kettle]

especially vudu, cheap asf unless gpx went thru the roof in price

[sinful valve]

Elcan is my beloved

[undone drum]

that is true

[toxic zinc]

Elcan 🤢

[sinful valve]

Dawg ain’t no way you hate elcan 💀

[toxic zinc]

I would rather use iron sights than elcan

which I do

[sinful valve]

That is insane work absolutely not

Elcan is amazing

[remote kettle]

didnt get the buff with this wipe, kinda big housing and it at least to me is really trippy to full auto

its okay

[sinful valve]

That’s fair

Like I said earlier, I do run a lot of guns with canted rds

[toxic zinc]

Elcan has shit reticle and just feels bad to play with all the scope blackening

[sinful valve]

That might be why I like it so much for the 4x

[undone drum]

i killed a Rogue with P90 from 300m away with Bravo

[sinful valve]

Elcan has an amazing reticle and the blackening ain’t that bad

[remote kettle]

thats why I used to use it, but now with every lpvo being able to do that it kinda lost its niche

[toxic zinc]

🙂

[dark trail]

Wait
Until you lean left and right while strafing…

[sinful valve]

Tbf I haven’t played much since they added the LPVO precise adjust

[sinful valve]

Dawg who shoots like that 😭

[remote kettle]

it made the already most versatile sights in the game even better

[toxic zinc]

everyone

[sinful valve]

Bozos maybe

[dark trail]

Everybody

[remote kettle]

you forgot to explain what yoy mean by remove the circle on the tac30

[sinful valve]

If you’re strafing in a gunfight and it’s close range you’re better off point fire

[dark trail]

grab a razor and scratch it off!!!

[dark trail]

I ain’t point firing at 30m

[sinful valve]

Skill ish

[royal scarab]

sniper scav reallyt did this to me

idk how they blackout 3 limbs in 1 shot tho

[toxic zinc]

magically enhanced heat seeking rockets is what they are firing

[royal scarab]

their wizards fr

[dark trail]

50bmg slugs

[royal scarab]

i didnt bring a cms either im cooked

[royal scarab]

it was a mosin they were shooting

ugh just got extract camped man

[undone drum]

learn the spot, check it next time

[royal scarab]

i didnt even see them

it was ruaf so it coulda been from anywhere anyway

[undone drum]

true
now its a mindset thing: remember that ruaf isn´t a good extract.
learn from loss and move on 🙂

[royal scarab]

i was dying of energy so i had to go to it

and i was dying of energy cuz i needed to use painkillers

[undone drum]

always moving on RUAF while you extracting is a good strategy too

[royal scarab]

yea

i normally always just run around in extracts

but i had no energy to

[undone drum]

ah i see

[sinful valve]

Unfortunate :/ once you find golden star vaseline that shouldn’t be an issue

[royal scarab]

thats what i was using

[sinful valve]

The orange one?

Or the 6/6 use one?

The 6/6 one still drains your energy by a lot I think

[royal scarab]

the golden star

the 10/10 one

[toxic zinc]

golden star is best to use as it lasts the longest and will also level up your food skill which is important

just take like a rat cola with u into raid and u should be fine

also if you have 0 energy/water you use golden star to get a bit of energy/water back up and not take dmg from it

[crude anvil]

man they absolutely butched the vudu xd

its so bad now

[remote kettle]

how did you get muted that fast lmfao

[meager wolf]

who

[remote kettle]

him

[meager wolf]

fw190?

[remote kettle]

yes

[meager wolf]

whatd he do

[remote kettle]

idk

[stiff cape]

prob automotd for something they get muted often

[warped abyss]

i forgot to ask him for link to the item list

Can someone send it?

[undone drum]

google
tarkov wiki loot
it will be there

[stiff cape]

wiki "quest" and "hideout"

big pictures in the links

[warped abyss]

Aw okey, ty

[undone drum]

also tarkov tracker helped me a bit
its a website

[warped abyss]

[dry flint]

Damn, I think I got PTSD from hunting Killa so much. Literally everytime I throw a nade, I hear a faint "blyat" afterward. I am legit schizoing because of a fictional boss character.

[undone drum]

as long as it doesn´t happen in real life (when you throw a nade)

[dry flint]

when ww3 happens, we will see.

[opaque marsh]

Any new players need help w early quests dm me

[bold kernel]

RESIDENTAL unit topshelf how do i get the btc up there

[royal scarab]

jump

[bold kernel]

i triedm but over 5 mins of that and cant

[royal scarab]

damn

[delicate steppe]

It's not possible, it's meant to be that way

[remote kettle]

tarkov tracker is against the rules? isnt the rules specifically for datamined stuff etc

tarkov tracker isnt that right?

[undone drum]

mentioning and linking are two different things. Never came into trouble for mentioning

[stiff cape]

ive seen in the past where they automod certain sites then theyre back

prob some behind the scenes shit that changes without any notice to us

[royal cedar]

how to make ez money in pve?

[undone drum]

tried #pve-chat

[royal cedar]

ok thx guys

[pale wave]

you can get every item with the cultist circle

[bold kernel]

You sure about that? GSPA? MCC? LK quest books?

^

[placid dawn]

do y'all have any tips on tarkov shooter pt 3

sure i play factory but all i get is level 30+ chads at level 13 lol

[dark trail]

Mosin

[placid dawn]

yes im running a mosin

infantry/carbine

[pale wave]

meant boss items, the ones he said he couldnt get from not being able to loot the bosses

and yes I got the LK electronics book and a GPSA from circle too

[bold kernel]

Curious, thank you

[edgy plover]

Really?

[torpid folio]

where are the hotzones on lighthouse?

[stiff cape]

chalets are best for pmc kills if youre needing

where most ppl will farm, cut through, some quests there or looking for their pmc kills as well

[humble otter]

For PvP I’m assuming

[torpid folio]

yeah thanks

[stiff cape]

id recommend not even goin wtp and just reset if chalets end up dead

[maiden marlin]

tagilla is so aids

[snow stream]

Can anyone go in a vc with me and help me to do ground zero?

[undone drum]

i would rather write you here what to do

what are you struggling with

[snow stream]

Everything

[dark trail]

gg welcome to Tarkov

[snow stream]

I'm new and have no idea how to play

[dark trail]

Play practice raids to learn the map layout, use the wiki and online maps to help you with quests and learning the maps, don’t be afraid to reset your account (if you’re like lvl 2 or something) to get more opportunities at learning. Pmc raid and shoot everything you see

[snow stream]

how do you reset?

[dark trail]

idk

Ask someone intelligent

[undone drum]

already seen guides on youtube?

[snow stream]

nope

[undone drum]

youtube
jesse kazaam

beginner guide

search for it 🙂

[hardy latch]

still cant complete this bad boi

tarkov doesn't see it as completed but arena does

[quick canyon]

Hi I’m trying to do gunsmith pt 2

But it won’t let me turn this in even tho I’m pretty sure it meets all the specs

Bruh I had to fold the stock smh

[snow stream]

What map should I start on?

[obsidian solar]

ground zero

everyone in your lobbies will be below lvl20

[snow stream]

Ah ok

[obsidian solar]

id do some offline before so you can learn where extracts are ect

[red rose]

how do i delete tarkov?#

[obsidian solar]

i think a rope and a ledge is involved

[stiff cape]

uninstall through programs and features?

[red rose]

aight

[obsidian solar]

no way he was seriously asking

impossible

[red rose]

didnt found it

bit dumb

[lean dagger]

Is it not zb14 i need for this mission?

[abstract harness]

its optional

they technically have a spawn in that bunker but there are far better ways of getting them

just craft them in lavatory is easiest

[lean dagger]

I'm in zb14 with the key but there are exactly 0 magazines

[abstract harness]

yeah its not a super common spawn

ive seen it once

[obsidian solar]

i think i found mine off pmc

[stiff cape]

ive never seen one spawn there

craft in lavatory from hideout

[snow stream]

do you think we can run 1 together?

[obsidian solar]

yah inna bit im about to cook dinner

[snow stream]

k

[obsidian solar]

you will be in the lvl 20+ lobby tho

[snow stream]

it's ok

[lean dagger]

But thats not gonna be found in raid?

[stiff cape]

crafted items are FIR

[obsidian solar]

yeah ive been on vactoin near a microcenter and they dont have any i see ebay the same as any 3rd partyy amazon seller most of the ppl reselling have good reviews and i wouldnbt buy it without a reciept anyways. return policy is easy as well with ebay

[stiff cape]

hideout for early levels quests r gud

[obsidian solar]

i have notifs on for neweegg and ebay but ive missed 2 restocks worst case i dont mind paying more or im sure i could find someone reselling lcoally wichic would probably be smarter as well

[bold kernel]

I got lucky and reserved mine on their website then they removed that ability. But when I got there they said it was intentional. They wanted to keep people from buying them up so they were trying to sell them mostly in store or make it where people called for stock.

[lean dagger]

But it says find them in raid, and them hand them over
Not to just hand over fir ones

[stiff cape]

the quest does not require the optional. they need to jsut be FIR status

craft and move on youre just gatekeeping yourself

[obsidian solar]

yeah microcenter has done that for awhile. i go back up to san fransisco in a week and a half so im hoping i can catch a restock before then or there is a store similar to mc up there as well

[bold kernel]

Those two things mean the exact same thing. The game doesn’t make any distinctions between FIR and crafted items

[undone drum]

found the youtube guide already?

[snow stream]

yeah

pretty hard to understand but I found it

I think I would learn more in playing

[boreal otter]

is this a normal glukhar spawn? i just had it happen this past raid

he and several guards died right by the tank

[stiff cape]

finding someone experienced to be able to take the time and step you through the basics is very time consuming as tarkov has one of the biggest learning curves

[dusky lion]

Hi, can I do Peacekeeping Mission with a TX-15 or does it have to be with an M4A1?

[stiff cape]

look up beginner guides, break down what you need to and besides that creep in the beginner channels or #pvp-lfg and hope to catch someone like that at a good time

theres a high demand for folks to "sherpa" beginners

[snow stream]

What sherpa?

[stiff cape]

??sherpa

[red thistle]

Sherpas are players who help beginners study the main game features and improve their skills to survive the harsh Tarkov environment. This difficult and honorable task falls on the shoulders of the most friendly, patient, and, of course, experienced Tarkov citizens.

Sherpas are volunteers who dedicate their time not only by teaching others but also studying Tarkov themselves, adding to their knowledge of the game. Selfless aid to new players greatly contributes to the growth of the Escape from Tarkov community.
When teaching beginners, Sherpas rely on their preferences in the game: location, weapons, equipment, tactical moves, and their unique gaming experience.

??sherpahub
#sherpa-info

[abstract harness]

must be m4, its i think wet job that can be tx or m4 or adar

[snow stream]

I see

[stiff cape]

theres official Sherpas, then unofficial Sherpas, but the term is essentially experienced guide

[dusky lion]

damn 😔 thanks

[stiff cape]

there are experienced players in here that occasionally post they are up to helping a beginner

[severe berry]

Where is Santa?

[bold kernel]

Can someone give me some advice for setup quest

I did 1 kill and its realy anoying quest to mee

[steel glen]

why cant you buy mosin ammo with lvl 1 traders 😭

[bold kernel]

I think you can

Hp bt

Yes you can i just chek that jager sell it

You have from skier too sp bt

But after suplyer

[stiff cape]

what type* of advice you needing?

[bold kernel]

Everything would help

[stiff cape]

well, its late in wipe

so plenty of ppl armored up

[bold kernel]

Rn i use semi auto mp 133 whit 2 x scope suppressor and just trt my best

[stiff cape]

if you can afford flechette get it, if not use pirahna

obligatory go for head shots at this point cause of armors

or legs if you want to do that, not my advice but its a thing

and biggest thing will be putting yourself close quarters at areas folks constantly cut through

[bold kernel]

Its my first whipe i have 320 h alredy so beside setup you could give me anny advice

[stiff cape]

Dorms can be a good go to as well if youre comfortable there

[bold kernel]

To start next whipe easier

[stiff cape]

my advice this late in wipe overall besides what I listed out is dont bother with it at this point. theres way more for you to learn and its a quest better to do early wipe before ppl are geared

[bold kernel]

How to get better at pvp rotating how to get better whit granades

[bold kernel]

I know rn i dont care about me die

But i want to do quests to know them better next whipe

[stiff cape]

okay, well that quest at this point for you is all positioning cause armor late wipe is very strong vs shotguns

re-read what I said and those are quick spots id recommend

[bold kernel]

To be fair i dont care about them that much becouse i have funn just playing but i could realy use advice how to get better in pvp and everything related beside arena becouse i dont have money tk buy it

[stiff cape]

if youre more comfortable close quarters on other spots on Customs obviously use those as well, but those are high traffic areas typically

[bold kernel]

Ok thank you realy much

[bold kernel]

And what about this

I dont care about loot so gear is not the problem

And never was i m just pice of shit in this game

[stiff cape]

i use grenades to flush ppl out or throw so theyll take cover and I can move.

your strength affects how far you can throw.

Id practice throwing nades in offline lobby just fill a bag and get used to where they go and bounce

[abstract harness]

also dont think of grenades as tools to get kills, think of them as a way to clear an area or deny entry to an area

use em to get your opponents to move or get out of areas

[bold kernel]

Its how i try to use theme but i have to do granadier

[mossy oriole]

use impacts

[sterile locust]

Hello i have one more time a problem with gunsmith quest

Now it s gunsmith 3

I made this mp5 for the quest but it doesn work and i dont know why

[radiant shell]

you need the integrated supressor mp5

[sterile locust]

Ok thank you

[radiant shell]

like this

[storm trout]

Is the pve worth it?

[mossy oriole]

No it’s boring

[storm trout]

Alright i was considering to buy it on next discount since I can't play alot so it's difficult to beat the try hard players in pvp

[sterile locust]

I made that but it doesn work

[stiff cape]

re-read the Wiki to the exact and any special notes

[radiant shell]

you put the laser?

[sterile locust]

No he ask for a flash light

[radiant shell]

just equip it

[celest fulcrum]

LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP ME WITH THE GAME VERY NEW HERE

[remote kettle]

what tactical device is it? if its a flashlight in the mount rings they dont count as tactical devices

it needs to be one that directly attaches to the gun

[maiden marlin]

santas not real

[patent wadi]

It depends on what make the game appealing to you if youre like coxy and pvp keeps the game enjoyable for you stick to the normal version, if you like the gunplay and would like to play the game at your own pace PvE might be more of your thing, if you have any questions about PvE let me know

[lean dagger]

Why is my sight shaking so much when aiming down sight?
I dont have any injuries, or pain. But my arm still shakes. Is it because the gun is too heavy?

[dark trail]

That sight is bugged, it has stability issues and it also has 2x the camera recoil. Use a different scope

[lean dagger]

Oh thanks
Is it just this variant of the scope, or all variants?

[dark trail]

All variants

[lean dagger]

Well that sucks
Its the only decent looking scope I like

[cyan mesa]

try some LPVO

HHS is buged

[lean dagger]

Which one is that?

[cyan mesa]

VUDU, RAZOR HD, TANGO6T

PM 1-8

[lean dagger]

Ugly ahh scope

[cyan mesa]

vudu will be better

you have no choice

😦

[lean dagger]

NIKITA
Fix your damn game

[cyan mesa]

1 year

when I was a beginner

this bug was existed

[lean dagger]

Well I havent played since the woods expansion

And I didnt exactly have access to these scopes anyways

[cyan mesa]

all lpvo can only buy form other players or trade in items

for my personal pov

vudu is best for mid and short range combat

pm 1-8 for large scale map

[lean dagger]

I mean i was fine with the hhs most of the times

And it didnt even look like shit

[undone drum]

Thought upgrading my pc wouldnt be so bad till i saw the top of the line gpu costs LMAO

[wooden sierra]

You can get some decent upgrades for £300-£400 if you want longevity.

[wooden sierra]

6750xt would be a good option, 3060ti, 5700xt, r580/r590 (if I remember the last 2 correctly)

[sinful ibex]

honestly its a bit crazy but I was thinking about building a pc with 9800x3d, stick with my current rtx 2070, then upgrade to a 5090 when it drops

[tacit gulch]

@severe berry no only PvP wipes

[sullen oyster]

So I have been playing for about 4 days now and I’m not 100% sure what I’m doing still and end up dead a lot

[urban marsh]

me too fr

[valid salmon]

Learning to do tasks could help you learn the game more

[urban marsh]

i find the most difficulty in learning the maps

[sullen oyster]

100%

Iv only been able to learn customs

[urban marsh]

i have learned factory

and parts of woods and ground zero

[sullen oyster]

You wanna try and run some ground zero?

[urban marsh]

maybe

im still watching a tutorial guide on it LOL

[sullen oyster]

Fair I’m just trying to get a feel for the map so I can start doing some tasks

[urban marsh]

are all of your quests of ground zero too?

[sullen oyster]

Yea I think you have to do them like one map at a time but don’t ask me 😂

I might join you on watching a tutorial

[valid salmon]

You guys could try to work together with other people and get all your tasks done in one raid

Sorry that wasn’t very helpful of me

[urban marsh]

ive worked with a group of 4 once, and i immediatly got shot in the back

never again

[valid salmon]

I went with a five man on wipe day and we got ambushed twice

Ground zero is the most over populated map in the game

[urban marsh]

true, but there also rlly good loot spans

spawns *

@sullen oyster ill run some, but we would have too be really careful.

[valid salmon]

Just realized something if you guys wanna learn the map without losing loot you could do a scav rub there

[urban marsh]

i think my scav is ready

[valid salmon]

Scout it out find out where your quests are

[urban marsh]

i know where my therapist and Prapor quests are

[sullen oyster]

I sent you a dm @urban marsh

[valid salmon]

Good luck

Happy hunting

[urban marsh]

thanks chyall

[urban marsh]

yo how do you add people LOL

neither of us know

[valid salmon]

Sorry, after clicking messenger click friend in top right

My bad its been a while

Then type in your friends name

Let me know if that worked

[boreal otter]

should i use flechette or magnum on my saiga vs tagilla?

which one has faster ttk i guess

[pale wave]

flechette better to try and shred armor

but overall shotgun not the best choice

magnum if you want to aim for legs

might take a few shots

[severe flicker]

What's the best location to increase search skill ? Need to increase by 2 levels . Not an issue if I have to spend money on keys

[toxic zinc]

buy 10 rounds of any ammo. Put those 10 rounds in packs on 2 in your backpack. Now drop the backpack on the ground and search it while it is on the ground, NOT on your back. And now split the ammo packs. So instead of 5 pakcs of 2 bullets you now have 10 individual bullets in ur backpack. And now you just put them back together into 5 packs.

Do this a few times and you will get +5 points in attention (which is prob what u mean by search)

if you do mean the search skill then you can only increase it by looting dead people and containers, but sadly it offers no benefit to it

[quiet whale]

is there no way to get to this shelf solo in labs?

[crisp crypt]

anyone know how to fix this? i kill the boss but cant loot him and he just stands there

[radiant shell]

yeh

[severe flicker]

Yes search skill for Ragman Quest 💀 . So basically I just gotta grind the game and eventually might get it ?

[feral junco]

What happens to my gear when i transfer at a transit? I transfered my gear from shoreline to lighthouse and transited there, I spawned literally into another PMC who was more ready than me and 1shot me. Now all my gear is gone and the transfered loot is not in my stash either?

[unkempt egret]

It's a prequisite to Kappa, if you don't have gamma hold on to it untill you get the other quests for kappa completed.

[humble cave]

he can spawn in any spot in those areas. There aren't 5 specific places

[flat ocean]

any tips for noobs on completing tarkov shooter 3 (<25m PMC kills)?
tried factory, but most of the raids I'll get overrun by tagilla.. other few ones just bursted down by PMCs..

I've tried both aggressive and camping strats, but only gotten rekd so far 😐

[lean dagger]

So is boss spawn is at 100% now?

[delicate steppe]

yes

[lean dagger]

Oh man
What's the best way to deal with Tagilla?

[delicate steppe]

spray him in the face and pray that it pens

or use leg meta

[lean dagger]

Duh

But with what

[delicate steppe]

any gun

or are you specifically targeting him?

[lean dagger]

Well if I go to factory and he has a 100% spawn rate, he's gonna fuck me

[delicate steppe]

let someone else deal with him, just try to avoid his areas

[devout walrus]

Why is everyone in arena so good, someone will kill my teamate and snap on my face before i even get a chance to aim

Dosnt even feel fun

[lean dagger]

Just like in the actual game

Probably the same or even more amount of cheaters too

[lean dagger]

NOOOOOOOOO
I killed Tagilla but he glitched out and I cant loot him

Also why did I only get like a 1500xp for killing him?
Is it because I couldnt open his inventory?

[potent plaza]

what does 12 hour timer in cultist circle mean? ive seen 6 and 14 but not a 12

[slender dew]

.... means it SHOULD be decent loot... and wait for it... it takes 12 hours to get it

[potent plaza]

aigh

is it better odds then 14 hours?

as I understand it, the longer the timer, the better the loot chances

I use 5 slim diaries which is a 14 hour timer and have gotten a few keycards and a marked key, have made like ~6.5 million after factoring in the price to continuously buy slim diaries

[rustic socket]

Does killa attack ai scavs?

[patent wadi]

yes

[real fiber]

Killa and tagilla will attack anything that comes in their paths

[real fiber]

There’s different thresholds of values that changes the timer. All depends on the value of the item you put in

I believe you do get better stuff the longer you have to wait in general, but obviously some people get absolute garbage

[real fiber]

Can only be achieved playing marksman and scout

[tidal horizon]

anyone know how long it takes for the defective wall to let me use the sledge hammer, ive mopped the floor

[real fiber]

I believe its like after 3h

[tidal horizon]

oh sweet thankyou, should be soon then

[sullen oyster]

Santa what you doing in tarkov? Did you misplace Rudolph again

[woeful cloud]

I seem to have lost my reins, I will find them soon.... I know I left them somewhere!

[sullen oyster]

Yall heard Santa find them reins

[placid garnet]

well this certainly is not correct.

from my own experience I for one know killa "spawns" in only 5 locations, but he has many standing positions in those spawns..

therefore i asked if anyone had a much more detailed map

examples, 2 standing spots in adik. the default bookshelf in oli, the desks near plants in oli, the square open area in goshan, the shelves close to the registers in goshan, the corner near idea computer room, the plant near the glass exterioring the escalator idea main entrance, brutal, mantis, red star room second floor

if you have ever killa hunted you would understand lol

[stiff cape]

if youve ever killa hunted youd know the more typical spots, but theres a ton and ive never seen anything highlighting the more common ones cause of that

then someone would inevitabely bitch one was missed and left off and "ive seen him alot here"

[glad prawn]

beginners out here with hybrid spears

[slender dew]

right...

[tall shuttle]

What beginners are you fighting

[glad prawn]

the ones with codes

[weak sand]

i got a question

is yellow keycard really that ass

[pale wave]

its the best card if you ask me

troll name in a beginners sub is wild tho lol

[neat hull]

For a only a couple uses yea its ass, but if you use all 10 you'll 100% make it all back and then some

yellow is very either or, but sometimes its really good

[glad prawn]

1 use pays off like half the card so id say its good

[echo elbow]

anyone know why im getting put into china servers in arena im oce

[pale wave]

is key more expensive now?

[remote kettle]

change to OCE servers

[pale wave]

you can chose your servers in settings

[neat hull]

it went down by 30-50 actually

350-400rn

[pale wave]

so cheap

found sooo many btc and ledx in there

and I barely play labs

basically free loot

[neat hull]

I either get a couple figurines and some trash gun parts, or absolute cheese

[kindred summit]

bitcoin can spawn in that room too

found one b2b in practice raids around the zombie event

[boreal otter]

at what durability do u just stop repairing plates, say uhmwpe/steel

[remote kettle]

I usually die before they go down thay far, but anywhere between 60-75%

[dry flint]

??event

[red thistle]

The event has concluded - bosses have returned to their original spawn rates.

[dry flint]

God damn it, I just got back from the hospital

[rocky zealot]

dang back to slumming it for Reshala kills.....

[sinful valve]

Hey guys if I have a tor-2 with a face shield can I put a headset on? I always forget if it has any compatibles

Nvm

[placid sequoia]

I basically only play labs and run yellow every time, it’s fucking amazing

I’ve gotten a bitcoin at least 3/10 runs each yellow use

[neat hull]

my rng in this game fucking blows tbf

but yea it pays off after a few

[placid sequoia]

That and red unit has also treated me very well

Violet is a pain because sometimes it’s great but honestly gotten more bitcoins and GPU’s out of yellow than violet

[neat hull]

I like res and blue a lot, easy to hit imo

violet is cool but it disappoints sometimes, but red is right there to make up for it

[placid sequoia]

Red is easy if you’re first spawn, after that there’s always a couple pmcs around but I play labs for the pvp so it works out

I’ve never run red before, can’t fucking find it and I can’t bring myself to spend the money knowing I’m not gonna make it back

Kinda gambling on making it out with the ammo

I only keep blue to open it for red if I see it on the desk from the window but I have yet to see it

[neat hull]

Red is right behind violet

same room

[placid sequoia]

Ik but the money to buy it im saying

I meant res*

[neat hull]

oh okay

I got a free card of each from the last event task line, ran all of those cards through and made a shit ton

[placid sequoia]

Ah I didn’t do the event quests

I didn’t know labs then

[dark trail]

You missed out

[neat hull]

It was super profitable, and the zombies made it easy

[placid sequoia]

Ik

[dark trail]

labs was free loot

Could leg meta everyone

[placid sequoia]

It sucks I wish I had learned it earlier

I made a violet on my intel center and it finally finished yesterday

Only costed me 2 mil

Made my money back on the first run with a bitcoin, gpu, and a couple weapon parts

[chrome rapids]

Isn’t yellow more returning in regards to cost/loot?

[dry flint]

its RNG dependant, but for cost to possible loot ratio, yeah yellow keycard wins handsdown for being stupidly cheap.

[valid salmon]

Yea

[chrome rapids]

I mean more often than not you’ll pull a solid chunk of change from it

[kindred summit]

it better. that thing is cheaper than it should be

[torpid folio]

I just ran into Goons here

I had no idea they could be there

It's not shown on any map

[dark trail]

They spawn at blue chalet

[patent wadi]

Wiki is your best friend

[torpid folio]

Hmm interesting, I've been there many times and this is the first time I met them

Probably just the spawn rate change

[patent wadi]

The 100% spawn chance ended today so youll meet them more rarely now

[maiden briar]

Hey how u all doing? Hope well

Does anyone know if there is a way to not reset quests and loose reputation when playing arena on EFT PVP?
Best regards, and thanks for the support

[humble otter]

It’s a bug, there’s no way to go around it

Hopefully fixed next wipe

Nikita said it’s so close to wipe we’re basically just gonna have to ride it out for next wipe

[naive anchor]

is the sd mod 2 better than the cpc mod 1?

[graceful yew]

i'm wondering how often are there wipes?

[patent wadi]

depends, on a purely defensive perspective sd is tier 6 so it protects more than cpc with only tier 5 but cpc as a better layout so most people go with cpc

[naive anchor]

do you mean like more space with better layout?

[patent wadi]

both yea cpc have 23 slot sd2 as 14

cpc as a 4 slot which people use for their grizzlies or helmets

[naive anchor]

okay ty

[severe berry]

How do you unlock lightkeeper

[patent wadi]

you need all the quests for network provider https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Network_Provider_-_Part_1

is getting acquainted bugged on pvp as well?

oh good to know ty

pretty sure some were for LK on pve side bugs at least theres some i havent heard from the pvp side

[rocky zealot]

Goons can also be down by the Convivence store (Or easily lured there maybe)

[patent wadi]

they shouldnt normally but goons can chase basically across the map if they aggro afaik

[rocky zealot]

I spawned basically on the other side of the street. Walked up to look for scavs and Knight came across and stole my lunch money.

[neat palm]

gooned

[patent wadi]

idk goons are wierd this wipe same thing happened on wood i was running away from birdeye at usec camp and knight was already at the mountain and killed me

[neat palm]

goons spawn most likely at the scav bunker and then they just go around the map chasing noise lol

One time I found all three of them at the lakes north of USEC camp

[glad prawn]

this most likely happens due to knight chasing a player who ran away

knight and pipe can pretty much chase you around that entire third of woods

[patent wadi]

its just wierd i didnt stopped running from usec camp and somehow he got ahead of me

[glad prawn]

he was probably already there is what im saying

[patent wadi]

thats so far apart its crazy

[glad prawn]

well they can run from the radar tower all the way to resort on shoreline

they have an insane aggro range once locked on to someone

[rocky zealot]

I feel like Goons basically have no rules. They could snipe you at resort from radar.

[glad prawn]

you would be correct

free range bosses

you'd think @patent wadi would know all about them

[patent wadi]

to an extend i dont know everything but the aggro range as been changed for sure

[glad prawn]

you sound tired lmao

[patent wadi]

???

[glad prawn]

extend instead of extent and as instead of has lol

[patent wadi]

english isnt my first language sadly

eh i communicate in english alot so id rather have good english

even if its french though?

[neat palm]

french

[patent wadi]

my point

[dark trail]

Fr*nch

[sacred raven]

Does anyone know why i keep getting server connection lost?
