[pallid ruin]

got like 15 shmaskas though since i promised myself i will keep each one i find since i forgot about them last wipe until it was too late

[reef scaffold]

I still haven't found a bundle of maps

Obligatory turn drd armor into bundle of maps at crafting station suggestion

[pallid ruin]

i got 3 from arena crate drops

[bold kernel]

Oh wow wtf, I found plenty

[pallid ruin]

no goddamn cutters tho

[reef scaffold]

I still have ornements in my arena

[waxen surge]

and one more question what can you do with empty fuel cans?

[reef scaffold]

Lmao

[bold kernel]

Grenade case

[reef scaffold]

Like dozens of red ones

[bold kernel]

Or barter I think

[pallid ruin]

[bold kernel]

Or maybe not barter not sure

But 100% granade case with lavatory

But you need something else

[reef scaffold]

I wonder if were keeping current flea and hideout next wipe

I like it

Actually i dont like flea at all

But yeah

[pallid ruin]

grenade case / piranha rounds

[waxen surge]

and with blue fuel cans?

[bold kernel]

As always Jayce enjoyers are braindead

[reef scaffold]

Flea makes 99% of guns meaningless

[pallid ruin]

mag case

[waxen surge]

who can help me with factory quests?

[reef scaffold]

#pvp-lfg

[bold kernel]

Which one you gotta do homie?

[reef scaffold]

If i find a scar without flea its cool if i find it with flea im not looting thst shit its only 50k roubles

[waxen surge]

health care part 5, delivery from the past, locate extracts and extract

[bold kernel]

Alright wanna go?

[waxen surge]

yea

[bold kernel]

Alr give me 5 min

[waxen surge]

im in factory 1

[reef scaffold]

The guy with the kitten pfp and the guy wifh the puppy pfp are getting along

[waxen surge]

if anyone wants to come and help i would be glad

[bold kernel]

Stfu Jayce enjoyer

[reef scaffold]

Jayce is king

[waxen surge]

ive got a puppy with balding man hairstyle

[bold kernel]

He is a shit character

[reef scaffold]

Hes the only good guy in that show

Caitlyn went full hitler

Jinx murders everyone

Jayce actually got the council to agree to give zaun independence but vi and jinx baggage ruined that

He was the only one btw

That even tried

[bold kernel]

yeah sure

[reef scaffold]

Name one better character

Vander doesnt count

He's neddard stark

[late berry]

People really be camping shady contractor quest dawg

[reef scaffold]

Some people still camping golden zibbo and tarcone director

Or whatever the cabin key is over there

[honest hound]

what level i need for Decisions, Decisions task

[opal ridge]

Ref quest?

[honest hound]

yeah

i did get between two fires

but dint get Decisions, Decisions

[opal ridge]

Not sure if it’s lvl locked maybe time lock?

[honest hound]

i dont think so

and i didnt find any info on the wiki

[opal ridge]

What quest is between two fires

[honest hound]

nah

pvp

[honest hound]

the second option for theta

[opal ridge]

Gotcha

[honest hound]

i tried already

[opal ridge]

Thought it was the quest where you either help fence or ref?

[honest hound]

it is

[opal ridge]

But you don’t have it

And you should

[honest hound]

Decisions, Decisions is given by ref and the second option is given but fence

[honest hound]

yeah i should have Decisions, Decisions

[opal ridge]

Nothing on arena says anything about eft

[waxen surge]

@bold kernel

why the fuck did you kill me i was helping you

leaving the group instantly nice

[honest hound]

i fixed it

[late berry]

Never picking up a random Saiga-12K and then Mag dumping a enemy

[pallid karma]

What headsets are good now? I only find outdated tierlists

Like... is there a tierlsit or smn, like which should I keep and which should I sell?

oh, am genuinely blind

Is there a similar command for armor and helmets?

Are there any tierlists that are up to date for those? have there been any major changes at any point?

[twilit osprey]

Armor is a lot more plate dependent

[shrewd jacinth]

Ouch that sucks. Did you get a recording of it?

[twilit osprey]

I could have USEC Trooper armor with level 6 plates and it'll be better for pvp than Gzhel with level 4

[pallid karma]

I play PVE if that changes anything

[opal ridge]

Hell yea man happy raiding and get that theta it’s very nice

[opal ridge]

Saw your gun and made him act a fool

[silk heart]

they would be anyways

people need to stop complaining about the flea its litterally one of the main money makers and enjoyable parts of tarkov

without it then things would be worth even less then they already are. remember a few wipes ago when getting a coloured card was actually exiting yet now its just a "wow another yellow card thats worth 150k"

without the flea tarkov would pretty much have the same economy of gay zone warfare

[strong barn]

bro can catch a ban 🔨 for that in this disc if you have a recording @opal ridge

[austere nacelle]

why cant i open my valubles creat from arena?

thank you

and what are the lega coins for?

wym unlocks?

like unlocking guns and armor

[reef scaffold]

Making too much money is bad for tarkov

Its too east to make too much money

Legit that needs to be gutted

I had millions before flea even dropped

[silk heart]

yeah it is but it doesnt really make a difference. if you make it too difficult then timmies will suffer and people who sweat will be the only ones who have access to real guns

[reef scaffold]

Ok?

Kill a sweat take his stuff

Everyone having high class gear results in high class gear losing value

[silk heart]

oh ok cheers for that one

[reef scaffold]

It feels way better to get your stuff by peeling it off your victim

[silk heart]

yeah it does, but who actually has access to high tier stuff? its a grind in itself and most stuff is flea banned anyways

the death shadow, the spear etc etc

[reef scaffold]

Then to click the magic flea/trader button from your endless pile of money

Nothing should be sold by any source thats over tier 4 or pen 40

[silk heart]

orrrr go boot up gey zone

that game doesnt have a flea

[reef scaffold]

It should all be found

Or stolen

[copper geyser]

As someone who hasn't put in a ton of volume this wipe, killing players can still feel rewarding honestly. whether that's for armor or good ammo. That's about it tho

[reef scaffold]

And exceedingly rare

[silk heart]

it would get worse imo if you couldnt rekit from the flea

its not like everyone has 100 mil to buy the best shit

[copper geyser]

Honestly wouldn't be an issue if they fixed how dog shit trader reset limits are

[silk heart]

imagine needing to do test drive and you cant buy the gun attachment you need for the quest so your softlocked for kappa because there isnt anywhere to buy it

[silk heart]

yeah if traders had a rework it would be cool but that needs to happen before they go and fully remove flea

[reef scaffold]

Then change the fucking quest

Everyone running around in the same 3 armors with the same 5 guns rn

[copper geyser]

Would be interesting to think about how they can scale back flea and still keep it while also keeping it useful

[reef scaffold]

Why even have the dozens/hundreds of other guns and armors in the game files

I aint seen a ppsh in 3 months

Know what i have seen?

[silk heart]

because it isnt fucking wipe day

[reef scaffold]

Endless korunds

[copper geyser]

Test Drive should be "Use this gun modded within this ergo/recoil range" <--- guy who's never done a single test drive quest

[reef scaffold]

Test drive is just use a specific gun mod set

Like zenith

[copper geyser]

Korund's are also the earliest and probably cheapest tier 5 players can buy

[silk heart]

this guy has to be rage baiting with these neeky and dumb as shit ideas

[reef scaffold]

Thats my issue is it reduces the whole game down to the same tier for 3 months out of the 4 months the wipe existed

Theres no more growth

Youre so rich losing a million roubles is nothing

[copper geyser]

I could lose all my roubles in an afternoon personally

[reef scaffold]

When a budget kit starts with a 300k gun before ammo then the game econony has gotten out of wack

[copper geyser]

yeah guns are silly expensive to mod out

[reef scaffold]

Im not saying make them cheaper

[copper geyser]

especially when they've nerfed most red dots out of viability and scopes can't be used by 90% of the playerbase because you get 40fps with them

[reef scaffold]

Im saying people shouldn't be able to afford that

[silk heart]

bsg would need to hire a fully qualified economist to fix it all

[reef scaffold]

Like

[copper geyser]

Tarkov is a gun porn simulator first, action game second. That would defeat the entire purpose of the game

[reef scaffold]

Tiers 3-4 have the most variety of weapons, attachments, and armor

[reef scaffold]

Not even true

[copper geyser]

You're wrong, sorry

[reef scaffold]

Unkess you mean pve

[silk heart]

yes. as it should be

the traders arent a real life fuckin gun store where you can walk in and buy anything you want

[reef scaffold]

Tier 5-6 are just too available its boring

[silk heart]

oh your on abt armour?

[reef scaffold]

And tiers 1-2 probably shouldn't exist lmao

[silk heart]

well in that case let me introduce you too a little thing called an armour peircing round

[copper geyser]

You can't tell me BSG cares about actually fun action gameplay more than gun variety and modding

[reef scaffold]

Armor and pen and ammo

Its just like the kits late game

Would love to see more variety

[silk heart]

the black mdr was the meta gun last wipe

then they nerfed it and i see alot of people use the spear or the x17, or other assault rifles instead

[reef scaffold]

Its not even the gun as much as the ammo

[twilit osprey]

Less the spear, X-17 is more accessible and gets 50 rounders

And then of course M4's

[silk heart]

maybe so.

[twilit osprey]

Spear and its ammo is also super late game

Isn't really worth it to a lot

[silk heart]

then dont forget the mcx .300, the hk416, the kriss vector (used alot more this wipe ive noticed)

[silk heart]

i can get it from ref 4 for 39 gp coins

so it is in my case

[lusty crow]

where abouts do PMCs spawn on reserve PvE

[crimson thicket]

yeah but you can't buy hybrid GG

[crisp trout]

Some spawn near armored train extraction

They also can stay around by black and white knight buildings

or they run into the bunkers

[silk heart]

fmj is like the same as m80

[maiden marlin]

LOL

[silk heart]

it is

[maiden marlin]

36 pen vs 43 pen is a lot

esp when fighting t5-t6

[lusty plover]

I found 1 labs card on a raid, what should I do with it?

(I have no idea how labs work)

[kind loom]

Here's the sitch furry friendo

Labs is an incredibly difficult map. Raiders, juiced PMC's the works. The upside is that the map is LOADED with loot. Mostly behind keycard doors. But the loose loot and the pmc kills can make up for it

Those cards allow you to play on the map one time

If you think you can go up against megasweats. Run it and take the risk

If not, sell it! The cards worth a good bit even to traders. More on flea

I should also say, is it a colored card or an entry card

[short bay]

if bsg had their way flea would be gone, everything fir and more

[copper geyser]

The funny part is they DO have their way, they already have our money

[short bay]

but a big population of the playerbase does not want that kind of hardcore gameplay

[short bay]

they are greedy for more always, they showed it with unheard. Otherwise it would have been done ages ago. And lazy to balance too

[short bay]

you are never in fear of losing money, and you can buy almost anything on flea. you skip a ton of content and the need to loot that way. Kind of weird that one game system makes a lot of game stuff completely obsolete (some crafting, quests, loot mechanic etc etc). It's honestly crap, sure it would make the game harder, but it would make it more interestng without flea. Loot would have actual value. I played a hardcore run for a try, i sucked at it, but it was ten times more intersting because of the need to loot. Also lot harder.

[stiff sequoia]

I am by no means a beginner in this game, but where are elite pliers this wipe ?

I have done 300 raids this wipe and not found a single damn one. Interchange, Reserve, customs, everywhere

I check technical crates, toolboxes, everything

Am I the only one struggling with this ? Sitting on a T1 hideout sucks

[topaz forge]

its slightly worse than bcp fmj actually

[light axle]

i find them sometimes in the tech room on reserve on the shelving units

@stiff sequoia

also woods scav base

near ruaf gate

[lusty plover]

Entry card, still has good sell value, I am only level 10 so i don’t think I should go there xP

[stiff sequoia]

Tried reserve 2o ish times. I guess I am just rly unlucky...woods I tried too. Will try farm shoreline now, apparently decent chances 🧡 Thank you for the advice

Legit found more Bitcoin and Ledx then damn Pliers

[naive igloo]

why does the one on bottom have a gold background

[undone drum]

through self repair and high repair skill, you can improve weapons

this one might have a stat, that is better, then the basic weapon

in general not super usefull in my opinion

[naive igloo]

dope thanks for the info, so the dude just repaired it and gave it this 4% reduced weapon spread?

interesting mechanic tho

[undone drum]

yes

thats why repair kits cost so much. not that its cheaper to self repair them with kits but people like to level this skill

[tidal dune]

Guys my one m8's download is stuck on 6mbps when he has 50 mbps line is their any fix we think its being capped? We checked launcher settings.
Tyia

[light axle]

damn lol

[sudden nexus]

tarkov capps download speed in think, i only get like 3mbps and i know mine is much faster as well

[slender dew]

my scav route is on lighthouse taking the shoreline south to southern road, find them all the time

the fact that gp coins exist on PvE is probably the most braindead thing I have seen in eft to date.... come on Nikita

[crimson thicket]

To be fair they existed before arena

But yeah they probably should have removed from pve loot pool

[slender dew]

yes, but they should have been removed from loot pool

[crimson thicket]

Granted, but it also breaks flashlights

Such is the way of tarkov

[slender dew]

yep

[short bay]

interchange has ton, gz garages. woods bunker

[short bay]

did you switch from pvp to pve or just playing it for funs?

[slender dew]

taking a break from sweating pvp is all

[stiff sequoia]

Thank you 🧡

[stiff sequoia]

Total of 100 Scav runs on interchange and woods together, no luck

[stiff cape]

shouldnt exist in eft raids at all. they brick a valueable spawn for non arena players

[remote ice]

Could someone help me with the easy money part 1 mission. Im pretty new so I need help.

[slender dew]

pliers, nippers, screws/nuts/bolts/nails, propane, xenos. All that type of stuff I find all the time in the broken boxes, the toolbox by the 2 houses and the back of the 2 military trucks

[stiff sequoia]

I legit have all I need for the hideout except the final stuff for bitcoin and solar energy

[tidal dune]

yh ik but is their any fix

[stiff sequoia]

Just hardstuck on pliers :3 I will get them though

[slender dew]

if the creator of the website and downloader and such limits it, what exactly would a fix be?

[tidal dune]

my brother in christ

if u don't have a fix for me just say so

[strong barn]

my brother in Christ
there is no fix. The server your downloading from has limited the speed it lets all clients download information from it; to 3mb/s as you stated. be less salty 🙏

[tidal dune]

could've just said that lmao not all the back and forth trying to be smart xD

[slender dew]

you already had your answer... they limit it server side, so there isn't a fix

[lusty plover]

what armor pen value should be enough to get through this vest?

im pretty sure i hit him like 5+ times with 5.45 SP ammo

but they just kept walking...

[undone drum]

looks like a lvl 4 vest

at least pen value 36

Its cool, than you put this kind of thought into it, just consider that you also miss sometimes

[lusty plover]

bruh

how do i get that sort of ammo in early game?

or do i just suck

SP has 15 pen

[wise star]

shoot da legs with kedr 🙂

[undone drum]

shoot legs with SP ammo

This is why making traders quests and unlocking better ammo is important

[next timber]

What do I do when I lost all my inventory full of shit and all my money

[undone drum]

first you hold on and analyse why you lost it

then you scav

while watching a tutorial

[next timber]

Because I’m getting mag dumped by better players 😭

[subtle sandal]

im lvl 33 currently trying to get thicc case i just need to do task / get lvl 35 anyone down to help https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/935947239858257990

[next timber]

Im just trying to learn ground zero

The way around it

[undone drum]

you have to break it down

every death should be a lesson

[pallid karma]

How does weapon mastery work? I've had an M4 that I've ran with for a long time, which I have 208 mastery points... A couple of days ago I built a few AUGs and all of them (both A3 variants and the A1) are 300+ points. How do you get points? Do you get them by building new weapons?

[next timber]

I think maybe because I’m running around to much

People hear me too easy

[undone drum]

90% is because you play predictable. Running and being loud is part of it

[next timber]

Idk why but my game never sounds loud

Like at all even with headphones in

[short bay]

i just killed a pmc and got a lvl 6 armor off of him

that thing is too heavy wtf

[undone drum]

how well do you know ground zero, do you use any offline maps?

[next timber]

I only started today bro n only managed to get about 3h in

So not very well

I know one extract alreasy

But I’ve never managed to reach it lol

[short bay]

offline raids. that is how you start learning maps. or scaving them. either way, scav is your easy money way if you want fast money just run factory

[next timber]

Without dying I always die at spawn

[next timber]

I don’t have PVE edition

[undone drum]

you started to ask the right questions, so don´t worry.

[short bay]

i am a standard account every game has offline mode

[topaz forge]

offline isnt pve

[short bay]

as for extracts and maps in general, google is your friend, sadly

[undone drum]

you can activate practise mode, is what they mean

[next timber]

The launcher doesn’t work if my network is offline

[topaz forge]

every version has access to offline practice mode

[next timber]

Ohhh I see what u mean

[short bay]

no no man lol, when you go into a raid tick practice (offline) mode on

[next timber]

Is practice mode no ai etc?

[short bay]

you can set it to no ai yes

[topaz forge]

after you select the map, on the next scree you can tick the box for practice mode

and turn off ai if you want

[next timber]

ohhh i see I can kill ai but when it comes to players they always end up killing me

Ive killed like 3 players but some ppl just camp the hq Whwre I spawn

[short bay]

its normal, game has tons of trash overcomplicated mechanics, the most important thing is to learn maps, spawns and hot spots

and how to handle ai

[undone drum]

remember: usually its because you are predictable. Always ask yourself: How could they predict me

[short bay]

i am really bad at straight up rambo fights with w rushers, but i can rat anyone or ambush any way i want any day

[next timber]

I wish my laptop could handle more I run like 58-80 fps depends on the area

[next timber]

That’s a good way to think

Ive been enjoying it though even though I’m dying

[undone drum]

When you explore in practise mode: Google tarkov wiki ground zero and bring it up on your phone or 2nd monitor

[next timber]

Only got one monitor that’s the laptop screen so I’d use my phone

[undone drum]

one way to predict: PMC spawns are marked on a map like on tarkov wiki.
Everyone spawns at the same time.

So enemy players know, where you could have spawned.

[next timber]

Im always cautios when I spawn now but I never hear anyone’s footsteps

I try not to run around as much but I still can’t hear shit I think my games volume is broken

[undone drum]

If you spawn and choose a predictable path, this is also brings you in trouble

[next timber]

I take different routes Everytime I spawn to try and find places I haven’t been

[undone drum]

volume is important, but trust me, if you played a map 50 times, you know where people go without hearing

[next timber]

The thing is people run up on me n I never hear them but when a gun goes off I hear it immediately

[undone drum]

if you died 10 times, you know at what point on the map, you can expect a fight

[next timber]

very true

[undone drum]

Learn where people spawn and play accordingly. Either rush the spawns and fight or take a route to avoid a predictable path

Spawn pvp is part of the game

But you don´t have to play like that

[next timber]

yea I try and be cautious now only other thing a few times I’ve died by walking into a room and like detonating some sort of bomb

[undone drum]

there is a claymore in one room yeah. Thats why those offline maps are improtant 🙂

[next timber]

It’s happened at least 4 times today

[undone drum]

Remember: you play a mercenary who is entering an exclusion zone after some kind of cataclysm.
Inform yourself, makes yourself familiar with the area 🙂

[next timber]

it was in an office

Of some sort

Also my internet isn’t working rn idk why

Had to refresh discord

[undone drum]

i usually avoid killing NPCs, because it gives away my position

[next timber]

They always be running after me 😭😭😭

[pallid ruin]

ground zero, the building next to the car extract, there is a room with a safe that has a claymore

[lusty plover]

should i just run naked then? i lost within 15 seconds my gssh,lvl 2 armor, lvl 3 helmet, a good vest, a good backpack, and my aks-74, and my whole mission was just to find a dead scav. in the end. if i cant do anything against normal players, i should just run the bare minimum so i can survive scavs but just accept my doom against kited out players :(

[next timber]

Think so yes

[pallid ruin]

yep

[undone drum]

there is a mechanic called tagged and cursed:
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Tagged_and_Cursed

[next timber]

What’s that?

[undone drum]

click and read 🙂

[undone drum]

running with minimal gear is one way yes.
Dw about the gear. Treat every death as a lesson

[next timber]

I see

[lusty plover]

i'll just run a pistol or some shitty rifle plus lvl 2 armor until i get access to better ammo

[pallid ruin]

lvl2 armor is useless even against scavs most of the time - for players forget going high pen if you dont have the right ammo, go smg and spray their face

[undone drum]

once you learn how to make money with a scav, loosing gear is not a problem

[pallid ruin]

get an mpx / pp19/ kedr / mp5 and spray peoples faces with 9x19

[undone drum]

good gear is not an automatic win. Playing unpredictably is

[pallid ruin]

yep

[tired bloom]

looking for someone who knows hopw to play to help me learn the game.

[undone drum]

if you don´t find anyone here:

• go to discord mentioned in #sherpa-info
• make a ticket in the channel called sherpa-info there

[tired bloom]

Ty lol

[undone drum]

Ask any questions here, many people are happy to help with advise here in text

[maiden marlin]

halp

[lusty plover]

It takes over a week for you to be picked up there though

[slender cosmos]

Hey,
Are there certain scav karma thresholds, like the boss scavs being less aggressive etc?
Seems to remember something like that from ages ago,
Or is it just above/below 6

[topaz forge]

6+ is the only relevant threshold i believe

[slender cosmos]

Ah alright, thanks!

[mellow portal]

does anyone care to run ground zero i just got tarkov last night and am clueless tryna run quests

i’m kinda decent at pvp in games like this but no map knowledge is rough

[patent wadi]

For knowledge Id recommend to run some offline raid to help yourself get familiar, in those raid you lose nothing but also gain nothing but knowledge, if no one answers you here you can apply for a sherpa in the sherpa server that you can find in #sherpa-info

[mellow portal]

i’ve been running a few offlines and have figured out where i need to go for prapor but the different spawns throw me off a bit i preciate you i’ll do that too

[patent wadi]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Map:Ground_Zero? Here is a map for spawns in ground zero, all the yellow arrows are PMCs spawn, the best way to navigate is by looking at the building around you, if you see the big building on fire you're up north, if you dont you're likely somewhere south, most knowledge will come with playtime, good luck out there

[wicked raptor]

whats the best injector for pvp

[visual lotus]

Any care to run some quests with me, pretty new to EFT, and having help would be sick.

[topaz forge]

theres a couple good ones you should have but the most important one imo is propital

[wicked raptor]

i got that already

[topaz forge]

basically +1 regen & painkiller for 300 seconds

good

[wicked raptor]

wait, lemme show my stims rn

[topaz forge]

idr what trimadol does i havent used many of the newer stims

the blue blood stim is a good alternative to zagustin

basically does the same thing but gives you some regen too

eats your energy though iirc

also id recommend having an etg-c in your container if you have room

very very helpful in a pinch if you get really low

gives you a lot of regen

also drains your energy

[wicked raptor]

how do i paint my guns in arena

when i get paint set

[topaz forge]

go to the modding menu and click paint

[leaden knoll]

you still playing?

[devout rock]

Anyone down to help me do some task on customs??

[strong barn]

💀 bro you said it in so many less words than I, as well.

[crude anvil]

man

for what reason does labs need to have explosive balloons in every corner

fun!

[feral grove]

my scav queue times into ground zero is really long at times, is it because there aren't a lot of ppl playing <21?

[blazing lintel]

Whats with the long wait times in pvp, like more than 20 mins long.

[crude anvil]

dead rat game

[blazing lintel]

rat ?

[crude anvil]

exactly

[blazing lintel]

I dont know what that is, its like I cant play becasue all I do is wait

[crude anvil]

what it is is people killing their own game by playing in the most boring uninteractive way possible

[blazing lintel]

guess I threw 100$ out the window then

[crude anvil]

theres pop like first 2-3 weeks of wipe

then people start leaving

and the ratio of rats to cheaters just becomes unplayable

and u wont see a wipe for months from now

cuz they are gonna release 1.0

[blazing lintel]

well im not buying pve from them and getting screwed 2x

[crude anvil]

u dont need to

check dms @blazing lintel

[wicked raptor]

can maska visor go on altyn?

[abstract harness]

no, the altyn visor goes on the altyn

[round wing]

Anyone tryna help me do the starter missions for ground zero ?

I’m newer to the game

[crude anvil]

i love partisan

"the boss who hunts rats"

and is unironically the biggest rat

ironically i mean 🙂

[opal ridge]

Such a sneaky rat too

[crude anvil]

i went to dorms

i saw the tripwires

i knew what i was in for

but still got ratted

checked every corner i could

and then i went out the back of first floor dorms window

to throw nade into bushes for voiceline

and he was under the window just sprays me with 762 bp

[viscid inlet]

anyone interested in playing with me? Around 20 or so raids in and could use some help questing?

[lusty plover]

any tips on doing "friends from the west" task?

aka kill PMCs

because currently im being curbstomped 24/7

[void roost]

Just run Factory. In and out, play the rafters

[lusty plover]

best i have is a VPO with FMJ, will that work?

[void roost]

which VPO?

[lusty plover]

i dont have flea market unlocked yet

[lusty plover]

136? semi-auto

[void roost]

7.62 FMJ isn't horrible you'll just need to aim for the head. Or legs if they've got a good helmet. Something you can do instead is just run factory on your scav a few times and look for untouched bodies

[lusty plover]

i tried factory with a saiga but i got vaporized in an instant

i shot trice but i dont think any shot got them ( i guess?)

[void roost]

You can tell in the after raid report, it'll tell you shots fired and shots hit

[lusty plover]

bruh i can just "steal kills"? lol

either way, is that task really a priority? do i really need to unlock the PK now?

[void roost]

At this point in wipe, don't be surprised if bodies don't get looted. We're at the PvP phase of the wipe where people go in to fight and grab tags at most and get out

Kind of up to you, PK is my favorite trader by far (barring Ref, but ref is stupid), he has a lot of early game viability with his wares and remains strong late game with stuff like M80. He's pretty much the only trader I consistently buy from

Though it could be worth it to do other tasks first to get to level 15 and unlock the flea

[void roost]

you'd probably be better looking in discord.gg/sherpahub and looking in the #offering-help or posting in #looking-for-help sections

[versed brook]

Hey guys, quick question. When raiding in Ground Zero and extracting from Nakatomi Basement, are there any stipulations need to be met when trying to extract as PMC or SCAV this is the second time I get down the stairs and no extraction gets initiated. just wanna know if theres anything that I am missing

[lapis mica]

New player with under 100 hrs but experienced in extraction shooters and mil sims. Looking for help with early game quest. Maps are woods, customs and factory. Will be online at 2am est. PM me if willing to help at that time, please and thank you. Pvp btw

[void roost]

when you're in raid, double tap "o" and verify you have Nakatani Basement Stairs as an available extract. If you spawn on the Southern side of GZ, you will not have Nakatani available, similar to if you spawn on the North side you will not have Emercom available.

[ripe plover]

If anybody wants someone to run with them to help with quests, then DM me. I don't mind helping out new players as that can help keep Tarkov alive (even though there's still a lot of players!) so ya, DM me to organise it! 🙂

[vocal holly]

Anyone running the game on RX6600 and Ryzen 5 5500? If so please DM me your graphics settings if your game runs smooth

[naive igloo]

i do, if i have everything closed out aside from the game i good get performance, with discord open i drop some fps every now and then:

make sure your game is set to full screen unlike mine tho

[toxic zinc]

You can try out to have textures to high and use AMD FSR. This might give you better performance

[sweet coral]

anyone intrested in playing doing some begginer quest on my pvp charcter

[atomic burrow]

Ill play

Any really good spots for military power filters

I recommend the leth1 guide. its a few months old but pretty much covers everything

[crimson scarab]

aights

[toxic zinc]

got me from around 100-120fps to 150-180fps depending on the maps. Pretty insane altho I had a lot to do

[crimson scarab]

whats ur specs

i have 32 gb ram, 1070 ti and a 3rd gen i7 so like im gonna run well below that probably

still good but well below

[toxic zinc]

im playing on an Ryzen 7 9800x3d with nvidia rtx 4060ti and 32gb 6000MT/s RAM

and on QHD

[dense moss]

Go to Reserve and loot all as many of the technical crates that you can. (Look at the interactive map on the wiki to see where these are) You'll need the PS keys for the 4 doors in the bunker below the train station. It'll take a good amount of raids just running through the crates over and over for several raids but you should get them moderately quickly.

[mystic sun]

To complete delivery from the past do I have to start 7mins in factory after planting the folder or can I extract before 7mins??

[upbeat bane]

You Can Exfil Soon You Plant

Even With Run Through Task Still Get Complete To Turn In

[mossy cobalt]

What will happen to red rebel (or any melee weapon I guess) if the durability reaches 0? Will it disappear / become unusable?
Just want to know if you get to keep one forever or it needs to be replaced periodically

[rigid gyro]

ya itll bust up in your hand

jk no it dont matter

[mossy cobalt]

Thanks, what does durability affect then? Damage? Nothing at all?

[remote kettle]

doesnt do anything to melee

[topaz forge]

extracting before 7 minutes will cause you to get a run through, if you kill a couple scavs youll be fine

[bold kernel]

can anybody help me learn labs? Looking to either learn how to avoid people/loot runs or something like that. Many thanks

unless your friend is also brand new he should show you the ropes 😄

[pallid karma]

What do I do with my Alpha container now that I got a Beta container?

[slender dew]

throw it with some other stuff in cultist cirlce is my bet

[pallid karma]

how far am I from the cultist circle at level 25?

[slender dew]

I have unheard so I am unsure what it takes to build it, my hideout comes with it. But look at what is required in your hideout

[pallid karma]

Oh, I didn't even realize I can build it already

I'll start messing with that

[slender dew]

If you take my advice, throw 5 items in total in there. Weapons, intel items like drives, stuff like that to up the $ value for a higher chance of better stuff. But once you have beta container you'll never go backwards during wipe unless you prestige so you can do whatever with it

[lavish kindle]

is Labryinth still going?

[tidal lagoon]

yes but not achievement

[lavish kindle]

ty

HELP GETTING ROUBLES TASKS DONE ON CUSTOMS

[normal trail]

Looking for someone to play with I have a good basic understanding just want to get some beginner contracts and get a real feel for the game

LFG^

[tiny iron]

Level 1 here looking for someone/group to help me get started and show me the ropes.

[crimson thicket]

Check dm

[limpid jungle]

lvl 1, looking for someone to help me in the beginning Ground Zero tasks please

[tired bloom]

looking for help to learn the game. Im in beginners 16

[bitter girder]

i see at my tasks that i have shipping delay part 2 completed but cant see it in TASKS main tab.. why is that? how to claim rewards?

[vague warren]

can someone help me out on woods

im newer and i need help

im in beginners 12

[naive igloo]

if i have to turn in an item found in raid can i craft it?

[mossy cobalt]

Can some explain this BS - got no quest items pending, no hideout upgrade items either except 2 missing power filters. I get a 6 hour timer twice in row on the cultist circle by spending over 400k on it which should mean hideout or quest items. What do they bring? Document case and some yellow lab cards??? Are pfilters not in the cultist circle pool of items or something?

[compact wind]

yes

[patent wadi]

Iirc there is a 25% chance of hitting the 6h circle which gives you quest items, and that is pretty much any item, so if you need ledx for a quest the 6h circle spawns ledx, pfilters are part of the pool

[bleak cargo]

ive just bought the game and have downloaded the bsg launcher although in the launcher it says game not purchased and a big buy button
not sure what to do if anyone could help

[lusty plover]

i'll be at beginners#20 if anyone with some map knowledge would help me out and play on NA servers, i would be glad

[patent wadi]

Look on the left side of the launcher and be sure that you are on EFT not EFT arena, if that isn't the problem post in #community-support they can help there

[mossy cobalt]

But that's the thing I've been hitting the 6 hours and getting random crap instead of one item that I need 😢 I am certain I don't have any other quest/hideout items that I need

[slender dew]

what do you need to do?

[lusty plover]

i have a small mission on streets of tarkov, but ive never played the map before

[restive kite]

Not what happened you were being cheeky and I was cheeky back, don’t cry

[grand pelican]

Y'all are still bickering about this? 😆

[opal ridge]

Are people still camping laby entrance ?

[naive igloo]

dude i just disconnected after killing 4 super juiced pmc's on customs

then a sniper scav aggro'd me and my friend couldn't kill it

so sad

[cinder moat]

Anyone wanna team I'm just starting

[barren sapphire]

so how exactly do scav spawns work? As in, im spawning next to shoreline island and need to kill scavs. But there are no scavs on the island (yet). Can i sit in a bush and wait for scavs to spawn on the island, or will they not spawn if i sit close to it?

[cinder moat]

They spawn randomly what I was told

Anywhere in map

[paper dome]

Hello, could I request help with Punisher 4? I really don't know how to run lighthouse.

if anyone could handhold me through it I'd appreciate it 😂

[next timber]

just did my first extraction lol

[honest yoke]

[next timber]

and another 🙂

games starting to get fun now lol

[twilit osprey]

Hell yeah

[lusty plover]

What’s up with the ref trader guy? He gives like a veeeeeery good weapon super early on if you do one quest

(Almost feels like cheating I will say)

I don’t trust myself with that gun lol

[tidal lagoon]

he is unbalanced af cuz BSG wants people to buy and play arena

[topaz forge]

if you think hes op early on u should see what he gives u at ll4 🙂

him being the only way to buy sp6 and m61 is definitely op

[safe grove]

It's really not a lot of time especially with theta line being so easy. Ontop of arena handing out gp coins like candy

[topaz forge]

theta taking less effort than epsilon is a bit silly

[tidal lagoon]

37 euro + tax to use the trader 🙏

[topaz forge]

oh yea after capturing outposts lol

[safe grove]

You can only buy sp6 after cap outpost which is a lvl 42 quest and sluggish sometimes

[topaz forge]

its just free from ref tho

an hour of lh every day is pretty free

[tidal lagoon]

just reroll all ur dailies to be last hero then play 1 game

[safe grove]

You can get like 100 gp with dailies and ammo is only 3/box, and with reset every 3ish hours you don't really run out

[tidal lagoon]

how

[safe grove]

Even more harder to run out of gp with it being so slow. Only way you really run dry on gp is if you repeatedly buy guns/cases.

I stock up on m61 m80 sp6 762 54 BP at min every restock and no where near dry

[tidal lagoon]

u can just do both and now u have infinite ammo

just for the small price of 52 euro

ye its 52 euro

and the effort u need to put in is like 10-20 minute a day and the reward is way higher than the effort

p2w costs money

W cope

thats like the cs gambling sites technically not being gambling sites cuz they give out free daily cases

its cope

u r literally paying to have access to a trader that gives u a shit load of benefits

ref is a clear advantage

[twilit osprey]

I mean you still have to put in the hours to make Ref worth it

[opal ridge]

Yea lvl 4 ref is a grind even with dailies but doing his quest line makes it quick

[twilit osprey]

Until you get stuck on the 3 wins in 6 matches and lose 2m roubles

[finite sail]

[opal ridge]

Yea had buddies to help tho cuz randoms aren’t it

[twilit osprey]

I made the mistake of playing Checkpoint for it

Should've played Teamfight

[opal ridge]

I did bg but to each their own

[twilit osprey]

MP7 slaps btw, i unlocked it a while ago

[finite sail]

hellll yeah

[twilit osprey]

Do you run AP or FMJ?

Cause im running half of each in my mags

[finite sail]

i have 2 mags of AP

and 1 of the other right under

[twilit osprey]

I think i have 4 mags of 40

20 fmj and 20 ap each

[opal ridge]

This is the way haha

[finite sail]

i removed the back plate to fit more ammo ahaah

[twilit osprey]

Same lmfao

Also on Arena, the big bonus you get is easy leveling

[tidal lagoon]

only grind is lvl 4, getting lvl 3 is rather fast and easy and gp coins takes no time, u have to play but the reward u get far outweighs the time u play

[finite sail]

bad for the game or not, im taking advantage of that lmao

[tidal lagoon]

def

[opal ridge]

I farm arena during the week then raid on weekends cuz of my schedule

[finite sail]

they should maybe rearrange the gp prices to balance it but even then idk

[tidal lagoon]

like every1 i know abuses ref and they all think hes extremely strong

[finite sail]

maybe they should remove the most op shit like m61 at ll4 etc

[tidal lagoon]

abuse is just a word for them using the shit out of him cuz hes so good

yea

ill cehck

18

yea

eh doesnt really matter, shit happens it will fix itself

ye last years were insane

dividens r so small for me

idk u need like tens of millions invested for that shit

i just got a dividend im gonna see how much actually

i got 3 NOK

oh thats per share

now i gotta check how many shares

70

so i got 210 nok dividend

210 is decent thats like half a bottle vodka

ye i never really aimed for dividends

but i think i got one from a us company and it got taxed from like .3 cent to .1 cent lol

i thought they ahd that already

ig its just some countries adopted it

it didnt take them years to change my fucking plastic spoon to wood in the rislunsj

gov is glazing EU so

[wary crag]

Hey guys! my game looks horrible when it is a sunny raid, shadows flicker a lot and many things are pixelated, when it is darker or raining game looks amazing (it is maxed out) anyone else with this problem?

i may be mistaken but theres some lighting bug with 50 series gpus

does it look red colored or orange

[wary crag]

ah i had that one, had to reinstall drivers and it solved

every edge was red, it was insane to look at

[maiden marlin]

hmm send pics of ur settings

[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.

For starters - Just check the wiki

You might have to relaunch the game after completing gunsmith for introduction to appear. Or wait. Not sure

But eventually you'll get it after accepting gunsmith

Guys arena is so damn sweaty

It’s the most miserable game ever

I’m doing the 1 million win 3 games quest and I haven’t won a single game and lost 4

[topaz forge]

yea those gamemodes are no fun

[spice cedar]

Like I prefire on a guy who’s sprinting towards me, he stop sprinting and hits my face with his first bullet

[topaz forge]

thats how it goes

keep playing youll eventually get people like this i promise

[hallow forge]

[spice cedar]

[spice cedar]

I’m only playing arena to get rich in tarkov lol

Even when I’m dominating ppl the game is just not fun

[unborn yarrow]

Guys on what loyalty level I can buy Vss from prapor ?

[spice cedar]

Restarted the task, got beat in checkpoint 296-1500

[analog wren]

could someone buy an ak zenit b-33 dust cover and flip it on the flea for me? 😭

on pvp

[spice cedar]

I swear every ak guy worships zenitco

[undone drum]

Can I talk to you about our Lord and Savior
Scav on lighthouse

Thats how u get rich

[spice cedar]

I want ref 3 and some keys tho

[undone drum]

It works better, since the chance to fight PMCs is lower

You couldnt beat PMCs to loot and rogue gea in the old days anyways

But often they don't loot it. Back then and now

[topaz locust]

Helping with tasks. DM me.

[opal ridge]

If you’re still having trouble getting the wins my buddies and I can help you out

[fringe tree]

How long does it normally take to calculate time when downloading

[silk heart]

the downloading is the quick part

[fringe tree]

Ok good I had to restart my computer for it to start downloading

[short bay]

this is the reason why they should completely disconnect arena from tarkov

[latent cipher]

lol

[pallid karma]

Is the slick plate carrier good or something? It's 150k, but can't I just like take the tier 6 plates and put them in an ANA M2 and it's as good? (or is the slick coverage that much better?)

[latent cipher]

you loot the plates and put them in better rigs

[pallid karma]

But why is it still 150k without plates on the flee?

[green field]

just a normal price

[prime harbor]

I have a question but I have a feeling the red dot is kind of low quality/blurry? I'm not sure if there is a specific graphic setting tied to it but does it look right? I just know that if I ADS at certain lighting, it looks kind of odd and hard to see but maybe I'm tripping

Its the HCO optic currently (I'm in Arena doing quests) and I tried turning off DLSS just out of curiousity and the scope seems to be better quality? Though I'd hate to lose the benefits of the FPS but is DLSS kind of bugged or something. Though maybe that isn't the problem

[flat aspen]

can anyone help me with sorting my stash its completely full and i need to learn what to keep and sell

[lusty plover]

dude why i suck so hard at pvp

ive been forcing myself to take action first, got a guy cornered, shot his head like 10 times with my saiga, and he just shot me once back and killed me

they also with a shotgun, and only had 60h in game

i have 75h and only got 1 pmc (actually 3 according to my stats, but i dont remember when honestly)

[prime harbor]

I aint good but if you use ammo with less than 35 pen then your bullet wont pen players who run tier 4 or higher armor thats just the way it is. you're unlikely to kill someone running good gear unless you aim for face/legs even then shit ammo= big disadvantage from what my friend told me. You also can't really get the best ammo off the flea and instead have to craft and or buy it from higher level traders. Unsure if this is your problem entirely but my friend urged me to focus on avoiding fights if possible to get quests done, make money, and level up your traders as mid wipe you're against ppl with good gear so you're likely to lose but I could be wrong on some of these. I just know ammo is the biggest factor

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph4Q0O3ZcTE this video had some useful tips tho

[tiny iron]

Level 3 here looking for help getting through quests. DM if willing

[undone drum]

record gameplay, post here

[toxic zinc]

thats fine tho within 75h most people are hiding in a dark corner scared

[lusty plover]

perhaps

does AMD have "smart recording" like nvidia shadowplay?

[toxic zinc]

no idea, but I recommend OBS to record

[lusty plover]

the nvidia thing is nice because it automatically clips moments like kills and deaths

[undone drum]

@errant sparrow
if you need advise, ask here

[toxic zinc]

doesnt work in tarkov tho right? Maybe on death but def not on kills

[lusty plover]

where can i find secure flash drives? ive looked in like 50 cabinets/PCs and havent found a single one

[safe grove]

Just gotta get luckier. Only other spots are like jackets and duffle, but cabinets probably most consistent

[lusty plover]

hmmmm

[sly lagoon]

i find loads in drops and or scavs pockets

anyone up for a game on streets? Have yet to extract from that map, keep dying...if anyone wants to go in and try beat tasks and excape let me know. ,

[waxen surge]

can someone help me with streets tasks?

[errant sparrow]

I need to go to Ground Zero for the Hard Drive. I'd prefer to go to the lower level version, but if someone wants to just guard me for the task it's really all I'm there to do.

[urban forge]

i literally just pulled 6 in one run from cabinets on streets.. ill message u my spot marked on the map.. i find them like every couple scav runs.. and you will prob find them all in the same raid when u do

[waxen surge]

can someone help me with streets quests?

[bold kernel]

i just got the game can sb help me get going this game is rly complicated

[naive igloo]

can you send it to me as well please?

[tribal monolith]

any more experienced player that dont mind playing with a newish player?

[dusk inlet]

hello , when is the next wipe please ?

[toxic zinc]

end of year

[dusk inlet]

when the wipe started ?

[toxic zinc]

december

but they released their roadmap on twitter which doesnt state any wipe and the 1.0 release after august

so I guess wipe comes with 1.0

[sly lagoon]

hwy man I have a few on streets I am trying to do as well if you care to join

or if anyone wants to play streets, as I need to survive and have a good few to grab and get out.

[fringe tree]

[fringe tree]

[undone drum]

[fringe tree]

[undone drum]

[fringe tree]

[fallen kite]

where to check wipe info/ time since last wipe?

[opal ridge]

??wipedates

[red thistle]

You may find a list of wipe dates here. This may give you an idea of the upcoming wipe, or just satisfy your curiosity! #general-chat message

[humble cave]

Use FXAA or nothing if you feel like DLSS has input lag. TAA ghosting is even worse

[humble cave]

That sight has multiple issues that they never fixed I'd claim. I saw Arena tournament players use it unaware of its problems even

[flat ginkgo]

Anyone got Baddie's red beard on there scav ?? i trade full kit fore it

[prime harbor]

Are there any regular rigs that have a 3 slot for 40 round mags or can you only use platerigs for it?

[lusty plover]

how the stupid flare extract works?? i had a handheld flare, i pointed it up inside the zone, i shot it into the air, i saw it shining, and when i went forward, still was decimated by snipers??? whats else do i need to do?

it was also green, the right color

[crimson thicket]

You were standing in the spot where you got the notification to pop up that you're in flare extract zone?

[median nexus]

we dont need to buy etf again if we wanna get it on steam right?

[crimson thicket]

There will be a way to link your steam account when that happens in 2032

[median nexus]

tyty

[wicked raptor]

how do you switch to grenade launcher

on a gun

[grand pelican]

if your gun is on slot 2 press 2 with the gun equipped

[frank beacon]

no idea where to find exits at. i feel lost lol

[honest yoke]

maps, there are 3d maps you can use

[heady pilot]

Does anyone know what I'm looking at when i check the chamber in the UZI, It looks like no bullet is in the chamber but the gun is chambered. Anyone know how this looks compared to the real gun. Knowing Tarkov I assume its accurate to how the real gun works but it has still got me confused.

I've tried multiple mags in multiple UZIs it doesn't seem like a one off visual glitch

[grand pelican]

the uzi is an open bolt gun, so the bolt pushes foward with the release of the trigger and picks up a bullet pushing it into the chamber, then extracting it after being fired. It's displayed correctly

there's a few animations on youtube that show exactly how it works

[flat salmon]

what do you guys recommend for an antialiasing? So far I've found that taa and taa high are SUPER blurry, dlss quality for me personally is the only anti aliasing that at least makes the game clearer but does add some ghosting effects at nighttime or around foilage. I am willing to take that trade though as taa is WAY too blurry. Im curious to see what the pvp chads say about this. Btw I run 1440p with a top of the line pc. ryzen 9, 6000mhz ram, 4070.

[grand pelican]

I've used no antialiasing since I got the game in 2020, I've been trying out taa recently but I normally use no AA.

[flat salmon]

@grand pelican brother how do you even spot players with so many jagged lines in your face lol

shimmer city XD

[grand pelican]

tbh I dont really even know lol

I hunch really close to the monitor so maybe thats how lmao

I feel like I haven't been seeing people because of it though, and thats why I'm trying out the different options

also it might be different for you since I don't use dlss

[flat salmon]

i feel like tarkov suffers from 2 big issues. One, fps issues making most maps unplayable for most of the playerbase. Two, the game being blurry as shit and making it almost impossible to spot players.

Can't wait for the day that they try to fix these

[flat salmon]

I'

[grand pelican]

I'd honestly rather those two fixed over having no cheaters

[flat salmon]

I've tried out all the options, dlss has given me the best clarity out of all of them.

[grand pelican]

are you using that new dlss 4?

I haven't tried dlss since they added it

[flat salmon]

In my 100 hours played I think I've only ran into 1

yea i use dlss 4

[grand pelican]

is that in game yet or do you still have to use the nvidia app for it

[flat salmon]

You have to override

its not too hard to

I hope they add dlaa to the game

so i dont have to lose pixels

thx for the talk ig

[grand pelican]

yeah, sorry I wasn't able to help at all lol

[flat salmon]

@grand pelican ur good lol

[wicked raptor]

what type of loot does red flare give

[devout island]

im starting to get a grasp of the basics but i have o map knowledge. is there a sherpa would be willing to help me out

[grand pelican]

it summons an airdrop which could have a few different variants such as medical, weapons, or just generic loot or technical supplies.

most airdrops are pretty underwhelming but can be useful early wipe

[grand pelican]

??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

[devout island]

they know the game but help us newbies they are called "sherpa"

[grand pelican]

I'm not sure what you're trying to say but you should be able to find a sherpa in the server in #sherpa-info
