[boreal violet]

yeah, after multiple wipes, things become blurish lol

[lusty plover]

how do i even do PVP when 2/3 or more of my bullets damage are just absorbed?

i only have 25-30 pen ammo

[boreal violet]

legit answer?

[tidal lagoon]

ye u gotta aim for the head and then focus on quests to get better ammo

[boreal violet]

Aim toes or face only

[tidal lagoon]

if u shoot their armor u are basically shooting urself

[boreal violet]

but yeah honestly if you can aim for anything with 39pen min, but reality is, if you aim chest a lot, aim to bring guns with High ROF because you need to dump.
issue as well comes a lot of people will be rocking min grade 5 to 6 armor this deep in the wipe

[lusty plover]

whats the best ammo the traders have for me at aroud level 23?

[boreal violet]

mmm i wouldnt remember on level, but more so LL level

if you join a chat, i can look over it with you

[lusty plover]

which one?

[boreal violet]

[undone drum]

any armor on legs?

I was told that shoreline for keys is probably the best to run, I plan on buying said keys using a key ring but I am trying to figure out what keys exactly I should bring without filling my docs/S I C C cases. What would yall reccommend?

[undone drum]

are you struggling with money?

[winter niche]

well, it depends on how you look at it. I have 7.9 mil in funds that I am able to spend on keys. But for some people that aint much.

I am willing and able to dump it all to invest into keys that I can do 20-40 runs of to get me to the big leagues and so I can have money for super good kits.

[undone drum]

familiar with resort pvp?

how brutal it can be?

[winter niche]

I am running pve for the time being

[undone drum]

ah!

[winter niche]

just learning maps before I move onto pvp but I need money to have expendable kits to learn the maps lol

also what type of weapon would you reccommend for shoreline?

@undone drum U there?

[patent wadi]

For Shorline PvE you should stick to short range no need to go all out on a gun, you'll rarely get in mid-long range fights

[winter niche]

would a kitted rpk-16 work? Or do I need something a bit smaller?

Had the gun from taguilla and stuck some attachments on it so its lookin pretty decent but idk what range the weapon is for tbh

[patent wadi]

Smaller is always better but it should do fine hallways are plenty big to accomodate

[winter niche]

alr

[undone drum]

even on pve, i would suggest ligthouse: farming kits from rogues + 21 spots where a bitcoin can spawn. Most of them open, no keys needed.
But my knowledge is pvp mainly

[winter niche]

are you sure about lighthouse? I've heard many... Unhappy opinions about the map lol

or is that just the questline

[undone drum]

People fear maps they don´t know

[winter niche]

ah good point

[maiden marlin]

@undone drum boss and his 2 henchmen

[undone drum]

😎

[undone drum]

those guns i run everywhere:

• P90 with long barrel (SS190 on flea)
• RD704 with drum (PP Ammo on flea)
• MPX (AP6.3 on flea)

i can send builts, but its ultimatively to you what guns, sights and ammo you like

Just try different guns out and see how far you come

[winter niche]

oooooohhhhh so something that is close range

[undone drum]

P90 is amazing, because it shreds close range, but is precise enough for long range too

Fast fire rate

[winter niche]

Alr I gotcha

[vital oasis]

is there still a quest to turn these in fir?

[undone drum]

you can look it up yourself here:

https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/723055628750422016 im trying to do the task between two fires, does anybody have the key?

[fresh orchid]

any updates on that?

[toxic steeple]

For yall pc understanders, just got my self a brand new PC, with a ryzen 7 5700g and a 6650xt ( + 32gb ram ) and I’m debating upgrading soon one of the components but don’t know if I should go for a X3D cpu or a better gpu, feedback will be gladly appreciated

[mint light]

x3d for tarkov specifically

[toxic zinc]

to be honest, both

[toxic zinc]

its pretty much a money question and how much you wanna invest. Buy a good Am4 Ryzen CPU like the 5700x3d / 5800x3d and you will probably be gpu limited. But if you wanna upgrade to Am5 platform you would need new motherboard and ram and probably also new gpu to support like an 9800x3d. Am5 upgrade would make more sense instead of upgrading in smaller steps but is also like 3x expensive

[grizzled belfry]

is this a good for customs ? just to kill scavs btw the taggila rig only has its bulidt in ones

[undone drum]

yeah.
what sight is this btw?

[grizzled belfry]

4x

usp 1

is their any cheap lvl 3 plates or 4 for taggila rig i should use

[undone drum]

right click linked search

[grizzled belfry]

okay

thx

[grizzled belfry]

is pp amoo any good for scavs?

[undone drum]

yes

scavs usually have lvl 3 armor

[grizzled belfry]

where do i find metal fuel tanks for stupid quest

[undone drum]

whats the quest called?

[grizzled belfry]

rite of passage

kill 10 scavs at new gas and kill 10 more at old and get 2 fuel metal ones

[undone drum]

google tarkov wiki metal fuel tank

scroll down --> location

[grizzled belfry]

okay

[pallid karma]

What do I need to do for sew it good part 2? Do I need to run it without plates and hope I don't instantly die?

[slender cosmos]

either get lucky and buy one,
or cheese it with the boundary/exfil snipers as they always hit thorax (run it -> get shot once -> heal),
or get a friend to shoot it with cheap ammo

[tight depot]

I'm playing PvE and I can't find any phase control relays. Any tips on where I can find them?

[worthy palm]

Reserve and Lighthouse locked rooms

I think you can also find them in the little storage rooms dotted about the water treatment plant in lighthouse

[mellow shell]

is there abt to be downtime? i just got a noti in raid but didnt see any scheduled

[tight depot]

I'll definitely have to try playing more reserve and lighthouse, then. Any suggestions on which map would be better for farming them? I've heard bad things about Lighthouse.

[slender cosmos]

If the goons are on a map as part of their rotation, are they guaranteed to be there?

[worthy palm]

wdym their rotation?

[slender cosmos]

From what I've read, goons move around between shoreline-woods-customs-lighthouse,
if they are on, lets say shoreline, are they guaranteed to spawn there, or still just 40(?)% chance?

[patent wadi]

They wont be guaranteed they still follow the spawn rate

[slender cosmos]

aw ok,
thanks!

[grizzled belfry]

does killing partisan reset karma?

[patent wadi]

Nope https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Karma

[grizzled belfry]

bruh

that im stuck on bad rep cuz i got no mic for coup

[flint linden]

can somone please help me with punisher part 4

[crude anvil]

u can coop extract with ai scavs , that should improve karma

and yknow, not sitting inside bushes for hours

but god forbid you restrict a tarkov player from being a statue for 50 min

[agile ingot]

anyone wants to run me through a streets task rq, I dont know the map at all lvl 44 NA EU

[thin kettle]

Returning player here. I'm trying to figure out which guns to run. I tend to like running the same arounder over and over. I'd like to run 545 or 762 just cuz the ammo is so readily available and cheap. I'm leaning towards 762, but which gun is the best budget build? Akm, 103, or rd 704? I'm strongly considering running US bc of the recoil drop since I won't be running meta attachments. Thoughts?

[keen fossil]

rd and mk are the best but they ain’t cheap

akmn is the cheapest option for modding and it’s pretty good

you could also use sks if you want a dmr

[thin kettle]

My budget per gun is like 150k ish. Will my akm be usable? The rd704 doesn't look that expensive isn't jt like 50k?

[keen fossil]

Rd is like 130k

it isn’t on flea anymore

Unless ur using ref barter

[toxic steeple]

545 short is kinda king

or aksu

[sleek estuary]

yeah i think the sag 545 short is worth a try if you can deal with single fire only. the stats you can get on it are almost like an m4

[thin kettle]

What seriously?

Damn

Ok then it's between akm and ak 103 for me

[keen fossil]

It’s only on traders now

if you got arena you can get a hella good mk for cheap

[keen fossil]

These are basically the same so it ain’t really matter

Honestly, early game the pistol Uzi is insane

if you can aim heads it’s super good

[thin kettle]

how so?

I do have arena

[keen fossil]

if you have ref 2 or 3 you can get a best in slot mk47 for like 36 gp coins

[thin kettle]

hmm thats a good dea

I have like 600 gp coins rn

I use htem to get the rig and helmet

[keen fossil]

The higher ref tiers are busted

[nova sun]

i am a noob and havent been able to do quests or get hideout loot with ease, any tips?

[solid snow]

What i do is just wait it out. If u know ur extract just wait for the last 10mins of a raid. Usualy theres mainly only scavs around

[nova sun]

so kill scavs or wait for all the pmcs and kill them?

[solid snow]

I mean yeah for hide out loot u can always go as a scav
And for quest i usualy wait till the pmc left already so u onlu gotta face some scavs

[nova sun]

thank u

[solid snow]

Then again depents on ur quests ofcouse but some are like pretty short where u can just run to do it and leave

[undone drum]

do you know where to go for quests?

[nova sun]

woods 🤮

but a little yeah

[long siren]

Doing the BTR quest on woods, got the package, got a ride out and instantly when I got out of the BTR I got gunned down by someone (PVE). I thought the BTR would kill hostiles and protect me? Idk if it was PMC or Scav because my game crashed and I can't see who killed me.

[undone drum]

what quest for example?

[undone drum]

Did you pay for the protect service?
Costs something between 80-100k

[long siren]

No, ty

[undone drum]

[nova sun]

jaeger unlock quest, package for prapor, prapor missing team

i think

dunno the quest names

[undone drum]

you can look up where they are on tarkov wiki.
Just google: Tarkov wiki, quest name

An example:
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Search_Mission#Guide

[nova sun]

i still couldnt find the dumb plane crash tho

[undone drum]

there is a fix for that:

[nova sun]

ok

thank you!

[short bay]

i can help explain a bit if needed, the basic stuff

[nova sun]

i mostly just struggle with not walking right into a sniper zone at the start of the game

out of bounds is very unclear on that map

[short bay]

sniper zone? oh you mean border? gotta watch the signposts

[nova sun]

i never see any

[short bay]

thats weird

[nova sun]

i think im always in a spot between signs so i dont see any

[short bay]

unlucky, but you will learn in time, woods is actually pretty easy to navigate, you use the big mountain as a signpost where to go, and that is how you know where the "middle" of the map is

[lusty plover]

what is the easiest pouch upgrade for someone that only has an alpha container?

it would be nice to bring more meds and food to my raids without fearing that i will lose them every time

[short bay]

barter at level 2 Peace

[lusty plover]

the Beta container?

[short bay]

yes

[lusty plover]

how hard is it to get those items for the barter?

havent seen a single one of them in 100 hours of gameplay

[short bay]

if you have money, absolutely not hard ,you just buy it off of flea

[lusty plover]

that would be like half my rubles

[short bay]

if it's half you are fine, it's worth it anyway

without paying, you have to raid harder maps, like Lighthouse, Reserve

and fight for the items vs other PMC on hotspots

[undone drum]

all of the items for beta i have seen on ligthouse Water treatment plant

as a scav

[short bay]

or as the man says you can scav and hope you find them.

[lusty plover]

guess i will

the tank battery and military cables i will buy

[short bay]

Me, i like to save time, i just pay

[lusty plover]

but the virtex/iridium im gonna scav

i learn a bit about lighthouse in the process

havent been there yet coz the map seems scary

most quests there are for higher level and there are mines everywhere and rogues

[short bay]

it is

especially if you are a bear

[lusty plover]

yep thats me

[undone drum]

there are also guides on youtube how to deal with them
and offline maps
and people like me, who can bring you with me

[short bay]

and the worst part is, you cannot practice rogues offline, because they count as bosses, and if you leave bosses, that means the goons spawn 100% so you always have to deal with them

[lusty plover]

10 minutes waiting for scav run on lighthouse :(

[remote maple]

I have a visual thing where in factory, the rays of light coming from outside barely show up, but intead there are a bunch of pinpricks of light, giving the area a glittery look that makes it hard to see, anyone know how to fix this?

[inner swan]

does anyone know why my buddies mic stops working when we load into a game?

[solid snow]

U in discord call?

[vocal pasture]

I have a question. I’m trying to make a profile account. I put my info in then click create and it won’t do anything. I don’t know what to do.

I’m trying to buy the game but need a profile first

[solid snow]

Anyone know if i can get the sprut and the 3 flashlight on this gun with lvl 1 traders?

[crimson thicket]

Klesch 2P is Skier lvl 2 so not without flea

You can get a different flashlight tho

[solid snow]

All i need just so i can recreate it

[short bay]

i don't think sprut can be bought. But you can loot it very often from scavs.

[solid snow]

Sad

[ember carbon]

hey i need some help

im trying to get done the easy money quest for a while now but im going to the usec 2 camp to get the posters but the posters are not on the chair

it doesnt say that i have on my person

[violet adder]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Easy_Money_-_Part_1

[ember carbon]

so i have to buy it?

[violet adder]

you get given 3

[ember carbon]

ok ok

[fierce basalt]

hey so me and my friend baught the game yesterday e we r struggling a bit we would like to know if someone with a lot of experience could help e play with us

[lilac pelican]

hey im new to the game, is this a good key?

[spice vortex]

Not really you need it for a prapor quest though

[lilac pelican]

alright thank you ill just turn it in for the quest, my brothers been playing for years and he told me there was a really good dorm key so thats why i asked

[light scarab]

i think the marked key is the expensive one right

[spice vortex]

It's not that you need to turn the key in for a quest but you need in that room

[spice vortex]

Yeah it is

[winter niche]

Like smth around 20 mil💀

[dense sparrow]

new too game looking for some ppl to run with add me on discord

[thin kettle]

can someone explain this shipping delay mission? wdym I can only get to it using the taxi?

[spice vortex]

Just checked flea cheapest key with 10 uses is 4.5 mill

[winter niche]

Fr?

[thin kettle]

once there can I not extract?

[winter niche]

Dorms marked key?

[spice vortex]

Yup, alot of people selling them for 1.2 with one use🤣

[winter niche]

wtf I just checked yesterday and I swear it was 19.6 mil lmao

[light scarab]

jesus. and that's just a gamble right? the room can have juice or it can be shit?

[spice vortex]

You got your price's lowest to highest?

[winter niche]

I don’t think so

[spice vortex]

Yup

[winter niche]

I’ll check later

[spice vortex]

I'm gonna laugh if you've been buying shit at the highest🤣

[winter niche]

Oh nah dude I don’t even have that many rubels lol

I’m pretty new, like 75 hours in pve, learning the maps and quests before I move onto PvP

I’ve got like MAYBE 20 mil worth with my entire stash value lol

Lemme check actually

23,107,436 is my overall stash value

And I just cashed out like 7 out of my 9 mil that I had to buy keys for shoreline, gonna run those raids over and over till I have money to spend on possibly keycards or super good keys. I have labs access cards but I don’t wanna run labs till I have at least 1-2 keycards that I can use

[spice vortex]

I don't have pve but I think the flea prices are wayyyy different from pvp

[winter niche]

Ohhhhhh

Yeah

[spice vortex]

It makes sense now😂

[winter niche]

That explains it, cheapest 10 use dorms marked key is 26 mil

[spice vortex]

Jesus😭

[winter niche]

I’ve never ran a marked key, I doubt that it’s actually worth that much right?

Like there is no shot I’m getting 26 mil out of 10 successful raids unless I am finding like 8-10 keycards

Btw it’s a bit off topic but how do you get a larger container without buying an expansion from the game?

[undone drum]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Secure_containers

[winter niche]

where would I find a tank battery by chance?

[finite sail]

whats the best bag in terms of weight/space/debuffs?

im loooking at the t30 and trooper but maybe theres some bag idk about

[spice vortex]

Honestly not sure, it might be more expensive but then again the loot might also sell for more on pve, also best spot for a tank battery is reserve I'm sure

[winter niche]

Alr got it, imma have to run it later to get that

[undone drum]

You can find it here:
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/6-STEN-140-M_military_battery#Location

[spice vortex]

I need a tank battery for prapor, has not been fun to look for😂

[compact wind]

i like my trooper or pilgrim. but thats only if im looting. if im killing or doing other tasks, i normally run something smaller like a t20.

[minor mural]

I just returned to the game after several years and I'm surprised at the amount of scav aggro I'm getting on pvp servers.

I can't add a photo but I killed nine scavs at 1:04, 4:30, 5:18, 6:05, 9:15, 11:13, 11:30, 13:33, and 13:45

Customs. I spawned glass house and died at factory to a PMC at 13:43 at close quarters

I had four scavs converge on me at glass house, one at USEC, and four at Factory

[finite pike]

Weapons suggestions to try? And what ammo to buy (Pve) level 16, level 1 and 2 traders depending on which one

Kinda wanna try every caliber but there’s so many options

[tidal lagoon]

honestly bro doesnt matter that much on pve, just find a gun u think looks cool and then right click it and press linked search to find ammo for it and then usually the best is to choose the highest pen ammo u have access to but if its like expensive u can just choose the 2nd best or 3rd. u have much more time on pve to kill the enemy and get well placed headshots so ammo isnt that important since they usually dont have anything that protects their face

u should have access to most guns through flea

since it hasnt wiped since release such items should be pretty cheap too

[zealous ferry]

yo can like anyone help me bro just bought tarkov ZERO idea what to do

[finite pike]

Okay bet I didn’t know if there were standouts in each caliber to try first

[zealous ferry]

played one or two runs and loved it but like I have zero damn idea what to do or what im doin

[mint light]

like he said since there is no real players u can dick around

[tidal lagoon]

there are definitely things that are like the most popular in each caliber , like 762x51 and 556 are prolly the most popular calibers where the popular guns are m4/hk for 556 and sr25/rsass/g28 for 762x51 but honestly it will all work

[tidal lagoon]

try #pvp-lfg or #pve-lfg depending what u playing and watch some youtube guides, use the tarkov wiki to help u locate task spots

[finite pike]

Gotcha, yea ima play PvP next wipe. Figured with this being my first mnk game ever I’d be better of learning in pve first. But good to know, thanks

[zealous ferry]

oh ight

[mint light]

first mnk game being eft is crazy

[zealous ferry]

ty

[mint light]

800 keybinds and they all suck

[tidal lagoon]

lowkey respect

[finite pike]

I’ve changed like everyrbing 💀

[mint light]

bro gonna think his pc has bad performance

[tidal lagoon]

lmao

[tidal lagoon]

its def gonna be a different experience as in u might be doing good in pve and get shit on in pvp just so u are prepared, but u will pickup on a lot of things in pve that will help too

[mint light]

the ghost of reserve is pvp exclusive

[finite pike]

It’s running pretty good but idk how the YouTubers get their game to look so good. I’m in like high / ultra everyrbing and it looks so bad haha

[mint light]

postfx and youtube filters

[spice cedar]

if i have 3 mags of m856a1 (1 mag in the gun) and 1 mag of ssa ap, how do i make sure that when i reload i load the ap ammo

bc im trying to kill scavs and i need to switch to my ap ammo if i run into pvp

[minor mural]

hold R and mouse wheel to choose the mag

[spice cedar]

oh dang ok

[minor mural]

you'd need a different colored mag to know the differenced

also they go left to right by default

[spice cedar]

can i not see the top of the mag if i do the mouse wheel thing

also which traders do you get 556 ap rounds from

[mint light]

you dont

ref if u count

[minor mural]

no because in game you only receive information that your characters see's with their eyes or estimates by feel

[mint light]

but ssa ap is buttcheeks anyway id probably just use 56

[minor mural]

thats why when yhou check mag it says "about half" or if it has a view port it will say "24"

[spice cedar]

i have ref 3 rn

i have m80 and thats it

[mint light]

ref 4 is all the good stuff

3 and under is like whatever

4 is nuts

[spice cedar]

i gotta get 0.7 more rep to unlock that

and arena is MISERABLE

[mint light]

yeah its just a slog to quest through

[spice cedar]

what does ref 4 even have

does it have 54r ap

[mint light]

you do not need 54r ap lol

[spice cedar]

i like the sv98 tho and the lps rounds cant do much against lv 6

or even lv 5

[mint light]

ref has bt

bolt actions suck anyway the pens not gonna save u

headshot or gg

[spice cedar]

yeah i kinda like the high risk high reward thing

looks like im gonna grind for ref 4

when does the wipe end tho

[tidal lagoon]

in 2025 thats for sure

[mint light]

who knows atp

[minor mural]

if you want to play suboptimal, just do whatever and click heads. Most of us are going to recommend an automatic 7.62 Nato like an FAL that can click heads with an optic or full auto with a laser

[spice cedar]

i used the sr25 a ton

but that thing expensive

at least like 250k per raid

[mint light]

i cant play with semis anymore they feel like butt

[spice cedar]

lol i wish they add the frt

would be OP tho

[topaz forge]

u need good frames for semis to feel good

[spice cedar]

thats true

i got home from uni and now i have a good pc

before i was playing on like 20 frames

will the wipe approximately end in like june/july?

[rotund canopy]

I recently switched to an AMD RX 6800 and I drop to 10-20 FPS when firing full auto. Is this a known issue?

[crimson thicket]

probably august or later

next wipe is likely 1.0 release.

[spice cedar]

Icic

Next wipe imma do nothing but grind ref

3 weeks in and I have m80 unlocked and good armor

[crimson thicket]

youre assuming his shop isnt going to be heavily changed for start of next wipe

the reason it looks like it does now is probably because of battlepass

[spice cedar]

So is it gonna be better or worse

I’ve been enjoying my ref stuff lol

[crimson thicket]

i'd imagine it's going to be worse next wipe, at least at the beginning. id be surprised if it's left as-is

also it's easy to unlock m80 by week 3 just doing your quests and buying from peacekeepr lol

[tidal lagoon]

ref is gonna be good still, he is literally just a way to make people play arena so he needs to be good

[maiden marlin]

real

[abstract mist]

anyone need or want another player? lvl 13 brand new to the game look for ppl to play with.

[long siren]

Do vehicle extracts still give fence rep? I can't find it in my stats page when I extract

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[long siren]

Does it still show like normal in the end raid stats?

[tidal lagoon]

ye

[vapid dawn]

quick question about the vendors, fence is at -3 and the rep keeps going down. does this affect anything with the shop other than keeping me away from loyalty 2 for fence?

[compact wind]

makes your scav times longer. and other scavs will attack you more often, i think. try not to kill scavs as a scav.

[vapid dawn]

so its at -3.60, is that bad? and what other way can i boost his rep besides his demanding tasks?

and me killing scavs, makes the rep go down even more?

i did not know that, thats really helpful. i was thinking it had something to do with me buying from the shop

[compact wind]

yeah, thats rough. and yeah, if they shoot you first, its ok. but if youre shooting them first, it goes down. it goes up by killing pmcs and extracting. also, i think if you take vehicle extract as a pmc, your fence rep goes up. not 100% sure though.

[small zenith]

Dorm overseer key isnt 100% spawn on shoreline

[compact wind]

also, once you hit 6.0, he sells more things and could possibly sell marked keys and such.

once you hit around 5.0, the bosses shouldnt mess with you on maps as a scav.

[vapid dawn]

yikesss, yeah i been a little trigger happy doing scav runs so i'll keep that in mind lol. so i can freely walk around most places on any map without NPC scavs coming after me? or does it kind of depend on the situation (pmcs killing scavs in the area and triggering aggro)

[compact wind]

pmcs will almost always aggro to you. as a scav, play passively and just try and loot and extract.

[vapid dawn]

cool, thank you so much! i just started playing tarkov just little under 2 weeks and i'm still learning how to play this game

[compact wind]

anytime! just have fun and play it slow as a scav! also, do his daily quests and youll get that rep back a little faster.

[vapid dawn]

i kinda just assumed no matter if you play pmc or scav, everything just comes at you lol

[compact wind]

nope. as a scav, scavs should leave you alone. unless you provoke them or shoot them or whatnot.

[mint light]

nah ur scav is lowkey cooked for the rest of wipe tho

[vapid dawn]

yikes, yeah that wouldve been good to know beforehand lol.. how long do wipes usually last?

[vapid dawn]

word, thank you so much

[mint light]

6 months but this wipe it might be extended some ppl say

[vapid dawn]

well i mean, im doing relatively okay with scav runs but yeah i was questioning why my rep was going down so much lol. surely ill be able to bounce back from -3

[mint light]

extract is like .01+

[vapid dawn]

minor setback, major comeback

[mint light]

kill pmc is like .03

[compact wind]

pve or pvp, mystic?

[vapid dawn]

LMFAO, thats crazy @mint light yikes i got some grinding to do then

[mint light]

he gives you a redemption quest for +1

there are like 3 different ones i think

[vapid dawn]

pvp

[vapid dawn]

yeah i have 3 quests from him lol

[compact wind]

yeah, its gonna be rough. might not hit 6, but no harm in trying!

[mint light]

i dont care for maximum rep because i usually dont scav but if your new its pretty cool

especially because bosses wont shoot u so u can just sit on them and they will fry pmcs for you

[vapid dawn]

damn if i knew about the whole rep thing before, id definitely be using this to my advantage

[vapid dawn]

yeah i got it, i got that kobe bryant mentality

is there a certain rep i should avoid hitting for fence to where everything will automatically aggro or will the scavs be fine? @compact wind

with the rep im at rn ^^

[mint light]

i think its like -6 where all the scavs just instantly kill you

maybe -4

[vapid dawn]

oh god

[mint light]

otherwise they docile

[void roost]

-4 sounds more accurate

[vapid dawn]

yeah thats not good

so looks like im becoming a pacifist as a scav

[void roost]

Take some car extracts on your PMC, you'll be fine

[edgy cradle]

Tarkov final boss

[orchid isle]

Bros gonna get neck shotted

[edgy cradle]

that kit saved me in factoryt

im the 2nd tagilla

[orchid isle]

Next April fools just add iron man

[edgy cradle]

i ate tagillas legs

the ammo i used has 11 pen

[short bay]

any idea why my cpu is 35-45% usage while my GPU is 98-99% while playing tarkov?

is this bad?

[edgy cradle]

probably\

[maiden marlin]

t4 helmet 😦

[thin kettle]

what should I buy or sell from yager to quickly level him up without wasting too much?

[maiden marlin]

antiqe axes from flea are p good usually

[thin kettle]

none selling rn 😦

[maiden marlin]

oof

try other melees

[thin kettle]

ty that worked

between the rd 704 and the ak 103, which one favors budget builds? 150k rubbles around is my budget. the rd704 is about 30k more expensive, but the ak103 needs a new pistol grip and rail.

[lusty edge]

103 is better in your case

[topaz forge]

103 is my fav budget option

gotta run loud tho

[autumn grotto]

What cpu do u have

And what gpu do u have

[quiet skiff]

so i just got the game and it wont let me change my region theres only a few i can change it to how do i fix this issue so i can pick any of them i want

[honest hatch]

whats the best way to grind attention skill

[maiden marlin]

loot

[dapper bear]

Is there a point where killa stops killing you as a scav? He was just at the top of the escalator on interchange while i was at the bottom looting (no audio for his agro) and i got 1 tapped by him as a scav with 2.11 rep

[maiden marlin]

6.0 fence rep

otherwise bosses will kill u (other than goons, partizan, and zyarchi)

[mystic seal]

Can someone help me with getting back on my feet I have just lost everything

[glad burrow]

Been really wanting to get into tarkov lately but need a guiding hand. Im from Aus so if anyone willing to guide this little timmy it would be greatly appricated

[dapper bear]

holy moly thats a hot minute away, thank you for the answer! (again)

[maiden marlin]

👍 car extract and coop are best way to increase rep quickly

[dapper bear]

thank ya! co-op extracts are hard, do you just have to convince a pmc as a scav to extract with you?

[maiden marlin]

either that or the other way around, and yeah most ppl dont wanna be friendly anymore

can also get an ai scav into the co-op zone as a pmc but its harder

[dapper bear]

gotcha, will work on that 🤣

[tight bane]

really starting to hate this game

feels like i am always fighting assholes with better gear than me

[maiden marlin]

at least if you do kill someone they will have a good kit for you to snowball off of

(if u can loot and extract)

[tight bane]

yea unlikely

[maiden marlin]

all it takes is one lucky hs in this game

or a lot of leg shots

[tight bane]

i got good ammo i can go thought tier 4 armor

i try to run with friends sense that is a tip but issue is all my friends are levels 1-5

so instead of it being a fight i am a fucking baby sitter and trying to make sure my own teamate does not shoot me in the ass

like i go hey there is a pmc get into cover and shoot while i rotate around

instead they just STAND THERE

and die

[ancient tangle]

Relatable, friendly fire incidents are not rare

[cinder hedge]

What do u expect of new players? Being good in eft?

[earnest basalt]

hello im still new to tarkov anyone wanna babysit a timmy and show me the ropes

[elder mist]

still looking for someone?

[glad burrow]

i did have one person reply but they did so as they got off, ive been queuing with some randoms rn but they dont really speak english so if ur down to help me learn the maps better etc that would be great

[fallen kite]

anyone got johnb glasses on their scav?

[twilit osprey]

Is tarkov not like 10 years old?

[grizzled belfry]

i did scav raid and found these mfs lying around they still good?

[arctic token]

where in the ever fuck do virtexs actually somewhat commonly spawn cuz they dont exist after 200 raids on lighthouse and reserve

[short bay]

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5600x 6 core 3.70 ghz
GPU: RTX 3060 12 gb

[slim sky]

boss gear

solid loot

drippy imo

[grizzled belfry]

one of plates is missing tho

the back plate for knights what do ido

do i buy a lvl 4 of the flea or use big pipes light plate

[short bay]

cant babysit but i can explain in voice

[short bay]

can't babysit but i can explain in voice

[slim sky]

i would say lvl 4

if ur new use ur better plates up front

if u get shot in the back a lot, theres other issues besides armor

[grizzled belfry]

?

[slim sky]

the back plate matters less because i woul say 80% of the time it does not matter what you have back there

you will probably be dying

[grizzled belfry]

great

[slim sky]

labs, reserve, lighthouse

make sure you know your rare loot spawns

youre on the right maps

[autumn latch]

What map would you recommend for a beginner?

[undone drum]

ground zero, since all beginner quests are there

[golden schooner]

what is the best graphics settings?
using a 2060 graphics card

and how do i turn on fps counter?=

[short bay]

depends on a ton of things, watch some videos and test test test. For fps, turn on console and type fps_1

[golden schooner]

and also i cant even fakin use my dispalys for mulitple things

[short bay]

dom them in order of your quests

[undone drum]

wdym

[golden schooner]

i cant only use 1 of my 3 monitors for gaming

i can choose 1 monitor ingame

but the other monitors are only blacked out

[undone drum]

sad

[golden schooner]

if i go to display settings it wont let me change the settings

[undone drum]

try those:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTrAsARQZM0

don´t matter it says "streets"

[golden schooner]

it only says i have 1 monitor

wtf is this bullshit

I have 3 massive monitors and it says I have one

Nothing fuxking works either

( display settings dont work)

Checked for uppdates for pc and gpu and everything is uppdated

Doing autamatic repair atm

If this shit dont work am smashing my monitors literally cuz they are so shit

500 dollars each for 66 hz

[undone drum]

you should google this issue too

[silk heart]

@dry frost

[dry frost]

yeah ik how to do it manually

i was jus curious if there was a way to do it automatically

[silk heart]

it keeps your settings everytime you relaunch the game @dry frost

[dry frost]

didnt do that for me

[silk heart]

have you saved the settings?

[dry frost]

yeah

[silk heart]

strange

[dry frost]

ikr

[autumn latch]

what happens when your out of "starter gear". Can you only get more via Scav runs or are there like weekly "refills"?

[karmic cedar]

You do scav runs for gear and money

[autumn latch]

so no starter gear refills

[karmic cedar]

No unfortunately

[silk heart]

if you want you could reset your account

but the downside is you reset your account

[undone drum]

you should stop and analyse why you are loosing your gear

[silk heart]

this is also true. but when they are timmies its difficult either way

[keen fossil]

helps you learn tho

[long siren]

I haven't played in a while, what's up with items being automatically on the wishlist? It seems they're removing themselves also

[karmic cedar]

Auto wishlisted items are items you need for hideout upgrades

[long siren]

Ah ok ty

[short bay]

you have a settings in your options that shows what you want to automatically highlight

[lament oxide]

havent played in a long time, is prapors house still lootable on woods?

[zealous sable]

hi

[tidal lagoon]

if u are talking about the area outside the map then yes, you need to use the btr to get there, its called train depot

[lament oxide]

oh u cant cheese it anymore?

u use to be able to do the crawl method

[tidal lagoon]

no

its a proper place now with quests there etc

[short bay]

you get the mines if you do that. But you can cheese to get out of there somehow if you are carefull and have a grizzly or splints + heals

[golden schooner]

i did just dont work

[undone drum]

only in tarkov? or other games too?

[golden schooner]

everywhere

cant use the original display settings

[long siren]

Is it true that starting the D2 bunker door extract on reserve can trigger bosses to spawn back in the bunker?

I remember hearing that somewhere

[patent wadi]

The lever to activate D2 can spawn raiders, not a boss

[tepid arrow]

There’s also the top side bunker switch that can spawn them in the train yard too

[final heath]

After every raid/on the way back to menu, my game gets a black screen (infinite)/crash, any ideas for how to fix this? I've repaired game files/checked drivers/increased paging file size

im on a 2060 w/ 16gb ram, personally i think its how old my comp is (4 years) but it never used to do this

[coarse lion]

have you tried different display settings like windowed or borderless

[final heath]

ye, fullscreen, borderless, windowed, all with and without mip streaming on each of its increments as well as lowering resolution

checked my cpu/gpu usage throughout running tarkov and it almost never goes above 60% except for during moments like launching the game

therms are good too

[high abyss]

WHY AM IGETTING 60 FPS IN TARKOV

[coarse lion]

youd be suprised that this game is insanely cpu dependent and not gpu dependent

[high abyss]

i have good specs

[high abyss]

i figured it out its cause my settings were messed tf up

[final heath]

nvidia trying to overwrite the .ini?

[coarse lion]

yeah that shouldve been your first move

[high abyss]

ll

lol

bro IM STILLO N 60 FPS

[coarse lion]

cpu

also use dlss on k preset

[high abyss]

I DO

13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700KF

bro what the fuck is going on

[coarse lion]

my cpu is 40% worse than yours and i get 120

[high abyss]

yeah so what is going on then

[coarse lion]

is ur fps capped

[high abyss]

my guy no

[coarse lion]

in nvidia control panel?

also have you only tested in the menus

[high abyss]

bro my nvidia control panel is fine aswell

it should be atleast

[coarse lion]

what gpu do you havew

[high abyss]

4070 super

[coarse lion]

is it because you're in the lobby

have you checked in a match

[high abyss]

yes im in a match rn

52 fps

so idk wtf is going on

[eager pulsar]

unrelated to your issue but i suggest turning off noise chromatic aberrations and zblur

[high abyss]

i had them off but i messed up my setting

[high abyss]

but what is my issue bro

[eager pulsar]

how much ram u got

also what map

[high abyss]

32 gigs ddr5

[high abyss]

arena bowl

but bro even in streets i used to get 120

[eager pulsar]

oh turn off mip streaming if that's on also

and RAM cleaner

[high abyss]

i dont think i have mip streaming on

[high abyss]

where is that

[eager pulsar]

idk you'll have to dig around might be on a different page

abt to drive gl

[high abyss]

mk ty

i cant find any of those settings

lemme check in menu

[eager pulsar]

they're in there

[high abyss]

mk

[eager pulsar]

oh yeah ingame limits your settings

[high abyss]

but dude theres no way

like istg

i used to get 150 160 theres no way it just goes down to 60

i changed my setting a couple of days ago

yeah i dont see ram cleaner

or mip

[final heath]

usually at the very bottom of grphx settings iirc

id check myself but im about to reinstall windows

[high abyss]

oh yeah mip is off

like am i just fucking stupid bro?

ima relaunch it

wait i think i lowk fixed it

oh my god thank the lord

175 fps

[undone drum]

[high abyss]

lol

i just restarted my game after changing my settings

[undone drum]

what settings?

[high abyss]

texture quality and showd

shadow

[quasi cloud]

lvl 13 looking for duo or trio doing taks and gearing up first whipe lmk

[distant cedar]

it not let me buy the game with a Walmart gift card I have it has the money on it

[thin kettle]

does crackhouse just not have good loot anymore?

[vale hazel]

does anyone know how i can break defective wall cus it shows but i cant use my sledge on it

i read to mop but there is not options to mop

[honest yoke]

it it found in raid

the hammer ?

[vale hazel]

yes

[honest yoke]

not sure then

[vale hazel]

do i need do something get mop option to show

[honest yoke]

idk, i never had an issue like that

maybe youre just missing something, you can try taking a screenshot, maybe someone here or me can help

[slender cosmos]

Should be an option below mop (which is just a temp bonus) to 'demolish the wall',
Looks like you need to wait 30 mins after initial construction though

[undone drum]

can you send a screenshot?

[vale hazel]

@undone drum

everything is atleast T1 except my intelligience

[undone drum]

upgrade other things in hideout

[vale hazel]

T2 in illum vents and security rn too

[undone drum]

you can check what you need for wall here:
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Hideout#Modules

choose "defective wall"

[mint light]

people often have issues with anything besides debit cards

[hexed raptor]

Any gamers with extensive streets knowledge tell me where I just died in the map? Was in a garage with a blue car and a guitar in a shopping cart. Was totally lost, just trying to figure out where I was to help me next time.

[distant cedar]

yeah I was putting it in not right

[mint light]

lol

[distant cedar]

but now it says it has not a enough on it but it has 70 on it

[mint light]

yeah i would just use a debit

[distant cedar]

yeah I probably could but I have 70 on the give card and it will be free pretty much

for me

[mint light]

70 dollars in walmart gift card is basically 70 actual dollars

[distant cedar]

yeah that’s is right

[mint light]

you can buy like bananas n shi

[distant cedar]

yeah you right but I want to play is

[mint light]

thats what they all say

then you get steamed for 500 hours

[distant cedar]

yeah

and the not much games are like this

[undone drum]

i have something better for you:

[hexed raptor]

had a map up, just had no clue where I spawned in, even after running around for a few minutes. Streets is bigger than I thought. HAha

nvm, figured it out.

[leaden pecan]

I stopped playing this game a couple years ago and im just now getting back into it. Would there be anyone willing to help a brother out and reteach the game to me?

[undone drum]

??timmy

[maiden marlin]

@mossy oriole

[mossy oriole]

Bro what

[mint light]

free asf

[opal ridge]

Is this photoshopped lol what the hell

[maiden marlin]

its a task

why the fuck would it be photoshopped

[opal ridge]

Because the task is absolute ass

[tidal lagoon]

its free af

its just kill people

[opal ridge]

I get that but the reward isn’t worth the time put in just seems low imo

[mint light]

play two games of last hero

so much time spent dude

[opal ridge]

Ok lol just an opinion not everyone is John wick in arena

[tidal lagoon]

main reward is the 2 skins u get at the end of the taskline

most of those tasks in there u complete by just hopping on and playing dont need to focus on it

[opal ridge]

Oh ok I see

[final heath]

ngl i suck so much ass at arenas, cpt is the easiest to farm kills in compared to the others especially cause of spawn camping - even easier than LH imo

show up on enforcer, shoot up some meldonin, laydown and get ready

[formal turtle]

guys i need help

is this retrievable

[maiden marlin]

if u got a team8 mayb, or drop down and pick it up while u hit the box its on

gonna need good timing lol

could maybe grab it from below

[formal turtle]

its okay i had to leave it

ty tho

[quick brook]

could someone help me with the hidden layer mission, I can't get the key :/

[honest cosmos]

h

[vital oasis]

someone watch this tomfoolery pls.
i shouldnt have repeaked but WHY was I able to see through stuff then when i scope in it renders and the way he dodges my fucking shot lmfao

my death report said I hit 2 of 3 shots lol

[topaz forge]

because this game sucks and theres a lot of rendering bugs like that

[long siren]

If I'm a scav and Tagilla starts shooting at me but I never shoot back, will normal scavs aggro on me? Twice now, I've had Tagilla shoot me and I get away and then normal scavs have aggro'd on me

I did throw a stun grenade that might have hit scavs but I didn't think that would aggro them either

[mint light]

yes

[vapid dawn]

new player here, so i recently came across 2 LEDx but sold them to fence but i see a lot of tiktok’s and videos of people going crazy over them? did i screw up selling them lol

[void roost]

It's something called "double rendering" and is why you lose frames when you scope in. If your render distance is set to a minimum, things quit rendering after a certain distance, of course. This already provides an advantage for lower settings, however imagine how broken it would be if even when you scoped in, it stayed unrendered? So, instead, with var. Zoom scopes, they render everything fully in the scope.

[vital oasis]

yes lol

[vapid dawn]

how so?

and how bad

[topaz forge]

ledx are worth over 1 mil roubles on the flea market

and i think 660k to therapist?

[vapid dawn]

good lord

[topaz forge]

theyre also required for a quest and hideout upgrade

[vapid dawn]

yeah that’s a rip

[topaz forge]

so getting 2 found in raid gets both of those out of the way, which are big roadblocks for most players

[vapid dawn]

that mf fence got them LEDxs for 70k a piece 💀💀

[topaz forge]

man.

thats unfortunate

[vapid dawn]

that’s unbelievable

[topaz forge]

well at least u know now

hopefully u get 2 more :)

[vapid dawn]

because i looked at them and was like “is this really worth anything?” and just sold them without hesitation, but now ive been seeing videos of people looting them

[vital oasis]

need 1 for a quest at lvl 35 for a free thicc case. need 1 for lvl 3 med station. Ive found 1 this wipe at like lvl 5. been holding it till today when I hit lvl 35

anyone know why im not getting a bonus with these?

[topaz forge]

i think its bugged rn

i heard someone else mention not getting a bonus a couple days ago

although idk how the bonus works so idk if ur doing anything wrong

[vapid dawn]

yeah thats rough lol. hopefully i find 2 again

[shell flicker]

[tepid arrow]

What’s your ping?

[grizzled belfry]

good ping

20 max maybe 150

[tepid arrow]

Sounds like unstable internet if you go from 20 to 150

[grizzled belfry]

its about that area not sure

it has spikes once evary while

and fps drops to shit sometimes

[tepid arrow]

Try selecting servers with lowest ping :p

[grizzled belfry]

i am

im my OWN region

in

[tepid arrow]

Then probably is just unstable connection

If it’s an option and you don’t have it already you could try Ethernet

[grizzled belfry]

my ping is good

[tepid arrow]

Variance from 20 to 150?

[grizzled belfry]

i am useing ethernet

[grizzled belfry]

i once played a diffrent game i got 82k ping

its normale

[tepid arrow]

It is not

Tarkov auto kicks above 200 ping

[jagged dove]

Id say sustained over 250. Ping spikes don't auto kick and I've played on some servers that were just over 200 the whole time and it was terrible but I stayed in

[tepid arrow]

Ik they raised it at some point maybe go 250

I’ve been kicked over spikes before

[jagged dove]

Yea if I see a spike over 900 I know its going to be a bad day XD

[pliant scarab]

I want to create an account to buy escape from Tarkov but I can't create an account it says Please enter your reCAPTCHA even if I fill it in can somebody help me

[bold kernel]

LF a duo to help me with Setup quest! ^^

[grizzled belfry]

dint check it

led me check

@tiny orbit nah gotta wait a hile a long while

4 hours

[scarlet fossil]

250 ping kick you if you are at or above for to long, He might just need to reset his wifi and computer.

[scarlet fossil]

have you tried resetting your wifi brother?

[grizzled belfry]

that wont fix it tarkov not the wif

my fps goes to shit when i play it

most huge games i cant handle them anyomore my pc is shity all of sudden it used be hella good

i cant even run rust anymore

[final star]

looking for someone to play and have fun with, kinda new btw

[low apex]

yo u still down to clown?

[final star]

hy bro

[low apex]

we can go for some raids if u like ?

[long siren]

How do you fight bosses/strong NPCs? It seems like the moment you start the fight, they will have perfect laser vision so any time you attempt to take a shot, you will be taking fire no matter where you rotate to

[undone drum]

let them push you

or
quick peak and pre fire
while never attacking from sam
angle twice

[long siren]

Yeah I usually peak, move, peak, move

I get maybe 1 shot off if I'm fast

[tight bane]

i fucking hate hackers in this game

about to go to pve

completely silent

made no noise and some fucking hacker runs in and kills me in less than a second

[short bay]

Some people do check every corner and have cracked reaction time. But yeah lots of hackers. The stats sometimes show it clearly

[spice cedar]

As a new player I’m so happy

[short bay]

nice. What map. Ambushed a squad with their pants down?

[spice cedar]

Yeah kinda

Customs by the bridge

Sniped a dude crossing a bridge and another duo was walking my direction

They got close and somehow didn’t hear me

[elfin jungle]

What map is the best option to be farming money on as a lvl 25

[dark void]

try woods

also lvl doesnt mean when farming money really

[elfin jungle]

Yeah just thought id throw it out there to mention im under geared

[dark void]

one raid and ur finew

[undone drum]

scav on ligthouse

[tight bane]

he had 10.0 kd

[fickle charm]

Does anyone have a fix to increase fps? No matter what setting I change, I get around 40 fps💀

[undone drum]

and?

Did you know scavs count in?

[short bay]

10 kd is possible

[limpid sigil]

It doesn’t matter unless that shit is 100

[void roost]

That's it, you're banned

[limpid sigil]

I truly have escaped

[void roost]

Also if you play on OCE at the right time 100 is really easy to obtain unironically lmfao

[undone drum]

why

[void roost]

Right time of wipe*

There comes a point where OCE dies completely

And then it comes back, but there's like always a week period in OCE where it's just dead every wipe

[limpid sigil]

Your KD is easily manipulated early wipe especially. Can set you up for the entirety of the wipe

If servers are dead enough, and a good streak, shit is stupid cheesy

[undone drum]

i know, i asked about oce

[limpid sigil]

Yeah dead servers

[undone drum]

👍

I thought there is have to be minimum amount of players

And if not, its matching 30 min

[crude anvil]

make it 100 marine

[still gale]

can i turn off screen space reflections?

[undone drum]

Whats that?

[rough quest]

what should i get rid of idk whats good or bad

[tight bane]

no i did not know that

[brave echo]

look at tarkov fleamarket online to see what is high-value, safe bet is to sell the magazines unless they cost over 10k to prapor/mechanic

[tight bane]

my SR fucking sucks

[errant sandal]

Anyone got any tips for more quickly sorting out what stands as a hard keep, what I should sell to vendors, and what I should flea? Or is it just "Lol memorize and spread sheet nerd"

[flat salmon]

@errant sandal You generally want to flea good attachments like suppressors and scopes since they go for a lot. I usually mass sell other attachments like grips, body's, stocks to traders. As for other items like barter items, food, water, you want to keep whatever you need and sell the rest. Imo barter items stack up really quickly and it's really hard to organize them or know what you need or don't need. You basically just want to keep what you need to build up your hideout. Also for like guns and armor you generally want to sell what you're not gonna use. I'm also really new to this game so take my advice with a grain of salt.

[upbeat olive]

I'm currently trying to make a battlestate account because i want to buy the game. Is there anyway to go around the captcha loop? This seems to be a reoccuring issue for multiple people. I tried using multiple different browser like edge, chrome and opera gx and they dont work either, I'm not using a vpn and i also tried turning off my firewall and it still doesnt work. Thanks for any help!

[undone drum]

website called tarkov tracker / items

Gearwise: sell everything you can buy from traders & flea anyway

[spiral sparrow]

I'm having the EXACT same issue with password resets. Different browsers, different networks, VPN, no VPN, VPN with a dedicated IP, multiple devices with different OS. Then, whenever someone posts about it they're either given some useless reply or outright ignored.

[errant sandal]

I mean yeah, if it isn't on the short list of weapons I run I tend to sell pretty agressively. But especially when my friend drags me into PvE I wind up with just SO MANY m4s

[undone drum]

fire sale!

[upbeat olive]

yeah thats what im understanding too, this issue seems to be dating from a while back and is never getting fixed i guess

[errant sandal]

That reminds me I have tvs and anas to strip and sell

[undone drum]

Do you use your insurance as second stash?

[errant sandal]

I'm this close to stopping insuring in PvE. Also given how many millions of rubles i've lost to insurance expiring no. If i'm online it's cleared out

[undone drum]

then it makes sense not to

[errant sandal]

Given how high my stash is stacking even before I grab my insurances I'm not convinced getting the stuff back is worth the bother unless it's a favorite item

[undone drum]

true, its settled then

[coarse lion]

get a scav junkbox PLEASE

[undone drum]

didn´t see any current fix for it yet.
Maybe writing to support might help?

??support

[red thistle]

[e-mail]

[errant sandal]

Okay, but should I get a second one?

[undone drum]

i have 5

[coarse lion]

maybe i dunno

[undone drum]

so yes, buy one

[coarse lion]

what the fuck

that is SO much

[undone drum]

is all of this what you need?

[high abyss]

thats at least like 6 mil worth of stuff

ach that might be over kill

maybe 4 mil

[undone drum]

that is very good to know. Didn´t see any fix for it anywhere

[errant sandal]

I don't know, and at this point i'm too paranoid to sell anything because the last 4/5 quests i've unlocked have been items i've just sold. I took about a 2 year break when my duo wne tot spread the word of god and only got about 2 weeks at the start of this wipe before the group I was with quit for the wipe

[undone drum]

there is a way

the painfull path of redemption

[errant sandal]

Is it sell everything I don't specifcally know I need and is hard to find?

Tried that, then the fucking water collector started bullying me

[undone drum]

To go through every single item with the help tarkov tracker

put it in a designated junk box

sell the rest

[quasi ridge]

anyone know how to register i wanna buy the game tonight to play with some of my friends but cant because of that stoopid capchat thing

[errant sandal]

Maybe, considering i'm about 2 days from saying fuck it and making my own quest+hideout spreadsheet

[coarse lion]

who wants to get on tarkov in NAE

[errant sandal]

tarkov tracker says it's still waiting for confirms for items for .15

That doesn't seem to instill confidence

[spiral sparrow]

Hilariously, I literally just got it working. I think it might be that the error is being reported incorrectly and it actually has nothing to do with the captcha. The second I used the correct email address linked to my account (and it was gmail btw, if you're using outlook it'll throw a fit) it worked immediately. This was with a different browser as well (OperaGX instead of Brave) but I think it has more to do with the email as it hadn't worked with Opera before now.

[undone drum]

tarkov
tracker

[errant sandal]

This does not inspire confidence

[upbeat olive]

Yeah same i looked at the support chanel and people were saying to use a gmail account and it worked for me too

quite annoying and dumb but anyway

[errant sandal]

But i'll try it until it proves itself out of date

[spiral sparrow]

Pretty sure it's because they're a Ruski dev and Outlook has never played well with email from the region. It NEEDS to be specified on account creation, since outlook is one of the most popular email clients globally, but at least it's working now.

[haughty sequoia]

where can i find electric drills? would have thought military camp on shoreline would have it a lot but only seen it once

[upbeat olive]

yeah sounds about right

[undone drum]

so the solution is to use a gmail account?

[undone drum]

interchange

[spiral sparrow]

Likely that, but it could be because I was trying to reset a password but inputting the wrong email address (the one that I usually use for gaming stuff). Either way it seems to be a problem with the error being incorrectly reported as a captcha issue.

[undone drum]

got it

[toxic steeple]

@sacred mulch

[thin kettle]

Can I use the flair pistol from ref with green flare cartridge to take any of the extracts?

[undone drum]

yes. but only the flare extracts

[thin kettle]

Ok ty

Hey so I'm a returning player. Is anyone willing to sherpa me through some customs tasks? I'd rather run slower than w key it but otherwise I'm chill

[cedar nest]

whys the "what's on the flash drive" skier quest still bugged bruh its been years, I can't turn in the second drive

[topaz forge]

is it fir?

ive never heard of that happening

[long siren]

Am I missing something? I'm in PVE and I'm not getting fence rep from car extracts. Not like I'm getting very little, I'm getting none

Or maybe I am getting it, it's just not showing up on the end raid screen?

[nimble bridge]

am i just bad bc i die in like more than half the raids im in and if i die its always to a pmc or large groups of scavs is there a way to like not die as often

[long siren]

PVE or PVP?

[limpid sigil]

A lot of it comes with learning the maps, not physically, but how they flow, where people will be at certain raid times, where scavs spawn, etc. Most people have years of experience so if you’re not in the norm of moving how others do, it’s quick to pick you out

[nimble bridge]

idk i play pve

[limpid sigil]

Nvm then good luck

[junior hollow]

Anyone need PVP assistance?

[nimble bridge]

imma go ahead and assume im just bad and under geared 😅

[long siren]

Are you like dying in gun fights? Or dying to people you can't see as you cross areas?

[hexed raptor]

streets scavs should spawn in with a compass, because what the hell?! 🤣

[nimble bridge]

both

i just died on woods to full autoed in the trees so

[hexed raptor]

Just died to a mine in the streets by collapsed crane on streets, though. I'm not seeing them marked on any maps?

[long siren]

If you're dying to 1v1's vs scavs, you probably need better ammo to get through armor or aim for the head. Scavs are so slow they will take their time to yell at you and line up a shot before they shoot so you can get a headshot. If you're dying to things and don't know where it's coming from you probably need to just play more and learn the hot spots on the map or even where snipers default spawn

[nimble bridge]

i ussually win the 1v1 scavs but almost never 1v1 pmc fights

i am dying usually to like 2v1 or 3v1 scavs

[long siren]

Yeah take cover and try to fight them one at a time. PMCs also are difficult to fight. I've had the best luck taking a shot and repositioning multiple times

[trim cairn]

i would say just be more mindful of being always being close or behind hard cover make sure ur not not always just stomping cuz they can here that a ways out looking and making sure where u wanna go is clear scanning around the area you always wanna see them first before yhey see or hear u type deal

[nimble bridge]

cant really get gear when you die all the time

im VERY new like idk what im doing my friend dragged me to play then has been busy since

sooo ye i wanna l;earn and play but am very lost so

[trim cairn]

also solo is alot more difficult id say

finding people to play helps alot also forcing 1v1s like peaking corridors or funneling helps alot

[long siren]

Yeah just learning the maps will help you to not accidentally get ambushed by multiple scavs at once. Just takes time

[nimble bridge]

i played 2 raids with my friend and since have just been solo so

[long siren]

Are you guys gonna play PVP or PVE because they are super different from my experience

[nimble bridge]

i play pve

[long siren]

In the woods raids I've done, I usually run into scavs/PMCs always in the exact same spots every raid. Since then I've always been cautious approaching those areas

Outside those areas it's been completely empty

[trim cairn]

for pve most bots have patterns like movement and how they behave during fights if u can take note of them and get them down it will help

[nimble bridge]

interesting

[tawdry timber]

If anyones down for some pvp on ground zero just started this wipe, lmk

[trim cairn]

if u dont wanna go solo there alot a of people in pve lfg most are nice. make new friends i mostly play pve if u want some help im down anytime

gave up on pvp to many cheaters

[nimble bridge]

so i hear

id be down idk what im doing all too much so itd be nice to get some pointers by just playing yk

[trim cairn]

ist all good we all start from some where just lemme know we can gets some raids goin

[nimble bridge]

sure im free rn

im in beginners 15

[tawdry timber]

im playing with a friend we wanted to do pvp tonight we were hoping for a few more bodies

[verbal mesa]

still quite new but i found this on a scav, how do i use it?

[elder mist]

you can open it in dorms or sell it

i suggest you use it 9 times and sell it when you have one use left

also make sure to kill people before hitting it and put big items in safe pouch

[verbal mesa]

kill people before hitting it? what does that mean

and also where is dorms/what map

[slender cosmos]

Clear the area before using the key, so you aren't killed after you use a charge

[elder mist]

customs

[slender cosmos]

Dorms is on customs, check the wiki for a map

[elder mist]

the houses at the bottom

bottom middle of the map

[verbal mesa]

ohh, okay thank you guys

[elder mist]

you probably want Room 105, Room 110, Room 114 and Room 214, Room 204 as well

they are cheap keys but have safes in them spawning valuables most of the time

but dorms is pretty high pvp at day i tend to run dorms nighttime for money runs

[elder mist]

if you plan on opening the room bring close range weapons as dorms is cqb heavy

[verbal mesa]

i dont really have night vision at all yet, so ive never tried it

[elder mist]

ah you're below level 15?

congrats on the drop btw if you wanna just sell it its 4 mil or smth like that

[modest ivy]

I'm trying to level up strength in my pmc, yet whenever I'm running around whilst being overweight, it doesn't seem to level up. What gives?

[mint light]

burn the entire stamina bar

it also has diminishing returns

[brittle urchin]

It seems there won't be a discount this year, sad

[modest ivy]

What does that mean?

[mint light]

if you keep doing it in the same raid u will gain less and less experience towards it

[faint aspen]

Why is this not working for mechanic gunsmith 1 task?

[slender cosmos]

probably the durability, try repairing it,
or put the mods on a fresh one from jaeger

[vague citrus]

A weapon has to be at least 60 durability to work for quests or to be sold. Except at fence

[last copper]

is aug a1 worth buying at ll1

[modest ivy]

No

[last copper]

bad ammo?

[last copper]

uzi is better?

[modest ivy]

It's not the ammo, it's that the scope sucks and you cannot change it.

[last copper]

oh

[modest ivy]

Yeah, you can go Uzi if you want. Just remember to run a sight on it, as the iron sights blocks a lot of your vision.

[last copper]

ok

thanks

[modest ivy]

Np

[last copper]

also any idea where I can get good 5.56 ammo so i can use in the starter guns i still have somehow

[modest ivy]

Scav run the Water Treatment Plant in Lighthouse and go through the roofs of the 3 buildings. That is the easiest way to get good ammo, but you likely won't find good 5.56 ammo often, as I've found 5.45 more often.

Don't forget, you can also get 5.56 ammo from dead Rogues that have not been looted, but the ammo isn't great. The best I've found was M855.

Oh and do not use their guns. They're too damaged, it's not worth it.

[last copper]

alright thanks, m855 is good enough for me. is fmj viable? because fence seems to habe a lot

[modest ivy]

Yeah, only for low level players. You can only take what you can get.

[slender dew]

this

[slender dew]

if you use it, actively shoot at thweir legs or their mouth, Center mass will result in bad things happening

[last copper]

what if i go for head,eyes

[slender dew]

that would be the mouth part Italked about lol.. legs or face

[last copper]

yes

but its funnier

[short bay]

is there a bug currently where items disappear from your inventory or stash? i literally moved (not discard) toothpaste from my invent to stash and hideout does not register it (it IS find in raid i have my video recording of the match where i found it)

[undone drum]

Never heard

[left mango]

#beginners-chat message
so I guess we just can’t use rigs to sort items in the beginning?

I feel like that should be a thing :c

[slender cosmos]

You can, but you pretty much have to remember what's in each one 😄
I just rely on my beloved auto-sort until I get a few containers from quests

[bold jetty]

ya autosort op til thicc case

[slender cosmos]

also a scav junk box, as soon as you have enough to afford one,
pretty great early on for all the stuff you need for quests/hideout

[left mango]

I did get one, but I’d love to be able to sort my ammo, meds, etc with a Tag. Sucks I gotta remember lmao

[bold jetty]

if you can buy arena you can get ammo cases pretty fast for cheap

[solid snow]

Howmuch is arena even

[undone drum]

just don´t keep anything you can use straight away
