i have excat same thing
No you dont
It would work otherwise
Do the steps I suggest above, trust me π
I did exactly this quest last week
Did you make sure magazines and chamber are empty?
Patience friend
That's not the wiki build
IT WORKED
tho somehow i used like 3
DIFFRENT ONES
IT WAS GDD threaded and ggd other
As the wiki says
I assumed this is the wiki built π
Bruh
no i used golden 140k one
it worked
Just follow the wiki properly next time... You just failed the easiest Gunsmith
Don't use some shitty YouTube bs
one question where am i geting the sag mk1 for pp19 i dont have papor lvl 2
its not on sale on flea
I'd unlock flea first it eases many things up
Many parts are much cheaper there anyways
i have flea but items i need some arent for sale
i legit\
NEED 1 PART
Yea I had the same issue I had to camp flea market. Or you check who sells it and level up traders
worse
thing is im LOCKED BEHIND 2 REP
.2 rep is legit
all i need
mr soup do you have mr mechnic lvl 2
Yes
can you list the the pp19 sag mk1 handgurd
i wil pay you like 50 k for it\
on pve flea
I am not home right now
rippppp
Although I'm on pve too lol
I would strongly recommend you not to sweat gunsmith quests anyways. They are fun when you don't feel like going into games
lol
Yooo good luck
i have too much cash
Do you have stash lvl 3?
no
Then you don't have too much money xD you will need 6mio rubels
oh dang
i cant find parts for it tho
pop red flare
Interchange is excellent for a lot of items for building the hideout
idk what it does
i need wd 40 and screws
airdrop
oohhhhhh
Factory and check jackets
nah i just wanna go in hit my key and leave xd
ok
in 40s
im done with my gunsmith old freind
come on the last t plug
Interchange the green hardware store (forgot the name) always has good items to grab too
I always prefer ears
I would go with ears and silenced guns then with loud meta gun
Awareness + unpredictability
my svd go boom boom boom >:3
Why do people camp spawns? That shit is sad af. Are the players really that bad they have to camp spawns? Almost every game Ive been capped coming out of a spawn room.
Part of the game, nothing u can change
U can change how u aproach a spawn tho
Either get away or u can also push or just scout
heeeellppppp
Spawn PvP will always be part of the game
Yeah I pushed to open a door and got a shotgun to the face
Legit waiting outside the door
Shot any scavs before?
Ground zero?
Factory
Small map, if they hear u run, they will use any advantage they have
If they hear u in general
It just happened again LMAO
Icreeped out of bay 0 and got shot by someone waiting in the stairwell outside the door.
You should learn something from every death. Did you learn something?
Indeed, specially the new ones
Wrong lesson learned
Not ass in skill- ass in play style
Wanna know how to deal with spawn PvP?
memorizing spawns is just boring
This is the way
knowing where enemy pmcs spawn is a huge part of the game
ensures that you have a higher chance of living past 30 seocnds of a raid
Well yeah I guess, especially if camping them is the name of the game
The misconception you have right now is that they are spawn camping for the sake of spawn camping
Playing predictable is not the name of the game
When, in reality, they are just looking at the other spawns simply because they know the other spawns
and want to also survive their spawn
Wont matter. I played my two rounds and now I'm too wounded to play another. Cool game.
Tough game, not for everyone
Once you understand the flow of a raid, it will make sense to you
goated update/
From what i gathered u should go to a different map than factory or ground zero if u got ur quests done there these 2 maps are too small and too brutal for newer players.Also u need to learn the spawns little by little cause people playing with scopes and scouting other spawns.Play a map like woods that has spawns further away from each other unlike factory
Only arena tho
dont be gaslit, game is good in theory but horrible in practise
every third player is a closeted cheater and everyone chooses to just sit in corners instead of actually playing the game
not interested in main game
but would be cool
wouldnt help but would be cool
main is tbh too far gone atp
will take alot more than inertia fix to make ppl normal
they just choose the most disgusting playstyles
That is true i agree but at the same time its a strat that reflects ambushing in real life combat scenarios the way to fix that i believe or to make players move more and not just sit and wait for the innocent victim is to open up a few more rotations per map so u can avoid potential ambushes in all of the diff "choke points"
they way to fix that is to make maps have loot
rn all u have is
no loot and a scared 40 yeard old unc sitting 5months into wipe completely still
its just boring
it is a playstyle but atp its just no point in playing
when every raid is just "look in every bush while slow walking"
orrrrrrrrr dma cheat like 1/3 of the playerbase already is and u dont need to care about rats
Loot too but choke points are more important i believe caus when u have maps like lighthouse where you have to cross 5 different choke points going through pmcs and possibly goons and all of that to get to the task location or to get pmc kills is more of a prio to me loot can always be buffed easily
Besides the cheating ofc
my main complaint about tarkov is literally just the players. they need to cut the estrogen out of the water supply and introduce a super invasive anticheat
or this 10k playerbase that we have rn is staying
and tarkov becomes that little niche game it was before
but ofc no anticheat is coming and players found the meta so its just gg tbf
You cant really do anything to punish a certain playstyle of a player tho
either become the unc or dont play
anticheat on fivem is better than in eft
yep excatly why game is dead rn
also ppl with 8k+ h are cheating their as off this wipe too
Cheaters have always been a problem not just in eft
yea but in eft its a bigger problem, since the loss you inquire of a cheater death is just very frustrating
If u encounter one its gg obv but to let it get to u like that is the wrong move
would rather die to a rat than a cheater
cheaters are 1/3 of the problem as ive said before the 2/3 is ratting. ratting and cheating sucks the fun out of the game in the exact same way
I dont believe that tbf π
my bro, on a dc im on there is a guy with 8k hours obv cheating with 30+ kd and not banned
yea u are right xD
If i die to a cheater across the map im like ok i can see he cheats but i move on if i die to a rat camping paracord on reserve for example that bugs me more
cheaters at the very least make it quick, rats will literally waste 30min of urs and his time for 1 single kit
Exactly
problem is the guy im talking about is ratting with cheats xd+
Cheaters nobody really cares about them they the ones paying 250 for unheard then 250/week for the cheats
how much of ur brain u can turn off and still be wildly successful
Now thats just sad existence
this is everyraid on labs
The ambush strat
yea i been doing long line since yesterday and killed the same guy 3 times, he is running with a paca and kedr and has 6k hours ratting on night time inter in goshan

thats literally the other part of playerbase that isnt cheating
2000k hours played everyday has infinite stash value and still
scared
wild!!!!!
Yep which is why i said that more rotations on the maps like they did with customs
Still very much campable but u got some new alleys u can go thru with cover
great update bsg i loved it
Its just one spot u have to check
i feel like bsg looked at facepunch completely butchering their pvp scene and took notes
Nah thats just the players choice not the devs fault imo
facepunch was 100% a dev fault
I mean on eft
yeah on eft for sure
thats what i wanted to say
nothing wrong with tarkov itself
just the players
rust on the other hand
horrible gunplay
horrible progression
and same players like tarkov
not as bad but ygim
rust players are so similar to tarkov players tho
People were maining warzone slide cods then switched to eft got their legacy chopped off first second raid ig π
u go on an official 300pop and unironicall 200 of that pop just afks in their shit farms
Then started watching stankrat
I got stuck in a hole, and i cant get out of it, is there any way to unbug myself??
Cheaters are one reason I stay in PvE. Killa is the only one I allow to have auto aim xD
just played some arena first time in couple months
inertia fixed but
somehow they manage to make audio even worse
didnt know it was possible
cant wait for 1.0
"footstep audio removed"
wtf is happening
someone used a blue flare and called mortar strikes in
ohhh ok
are they rare?
you get one from a task reward and then you have to finish the whole taskline to get the ability to barter for them
can anyone tell me what happend
ive also died 7 games or so in a row and almsot compeltely out of moeny what do i even do in this
scav runs on streets
and do that until you find some gear or enough stuff to buy gear
ive only played shore factory reserve and the other small map i always forget its name
try questing
your first few are on ground zero and customs
how i cant even find where the quests are
at the bottom go to traders and then at the top to tasks
watch this though can you tell what happend
and in this clip it seems you mostly shot him in the armor, what ammo did u have?
us can barely pen level 2 armor so yeah makes sense he didnt die
he probably headshot you
ayo ass up ass scope 
fr tho jokes aside that scope is terrible dont use it even if u dont have anything else
yeah ik im new to tarkov and buying guns/modifying them is cancer
i just bought the gun with that scope
you'll figure it out by watching others play/mod their guns and usually they go for the meta build that streamers build but you can deviate a bit if u pay attention to what stat u want more of e.x ergo for faster ads or recoil instead depending on the gun
those 2 are the main stats u look at
yeah ill probably ahve to watch a few vids on it its been years and ive finally got the game
this ur first time playing the game or are u returning player?
first time
oof
dayum xD
watch nogenerals for when you want to get pvp down
he leaves mental notes on his train of thought approaching every fight and how he plays it out
icl ive killed a couple players but usally after id just get bodied
from outta no where i just drop
theres always another
golden rule of this game
if its out in the open with 0 cover...dont loot that mfer resist it
thats if you even see them about 4 outta my 9 games ive just died no gunshopt or anything
or spend like 5-10 scouting around while walking back and forth
silenced shot with score from far
yeah
if u dont have cover to loot the body leave it
i mainly play facotry and customs somtiems shore
i get kills in the first 2 shore i just died instantly
yeah lol fr i played factory and died to a full kitted nvg player with 1.8khrs
what i can tell u tho is if u kill someone juiced dont stand there and loot everything
take at least minimun the gun and if have cover/time to loot mags as well for the ammo
armor will make u heavy louder as a result stompin around everyone can hear ur godzilla timmy ahh
yeah lmao i thought that i knew it sounded dif
otherwise just leave and overview from an angle in case his buddy come to secure his shi
if its out in the open dont loot that mf
i had 1 really good game in factory 4 kills and some scav kills then someone on the roof shot me idk how he got there
map knowledge theres stairs that lead up there
factory the worst map u can start out as new player and also the most stressfull
wahts the ebs tmap
a guy with 2k hours said to me to try woods i told him i liked sniping
woods would be a chill map from my exp
but idk how to get a sniper and all the stuff i need for it
i got a mosin and the mags but couldnt get ammo a scope or suppressor
but u can still get dropped from spawn sometimes depending on the map knowledge/spawn knowledge from other players
mosin sniper only takes scope
try woods/customs/reserve
tho reserve kinda hard if u got no red rebel/paracord
as pmc
bet i liked customs but the foresty maps sucked to me
as scav its chill u just loot and go
eventually the quests will have u go everywhere
but learn a chill one for starters
woods/shoreline/customs/...streets if ur pc can handle it and u can handle a bit of spawn fighting
go to traders and accept every single one
when he has a green tick on him thats a quest available
how do i accept them it just shows me it
oh im blind 

btw is tehre any way to get maps for the well maps
one advice i could give is if u have money to spare i would say get pve version and practice a bit there
theres no wipes unless u do it and u can unlock all the content before 1.0 at ur own pace
will help with map knowledge meds gunfights quests etc etc
yeah i wanna get pve but tarkov itself is enough lmao
not to force ur hand thats just my opinion pve braces newer players easier than to just throw them in pvp straight up to be slaughtered by a lvl 58 first week of the wipe
it aint fun for them
when they running around with paca's and facing altyn lvl 5 helmet/shield zabralo armor lvl 6 plates and the most meta gun/bullet
if i can find 2 apollo cig packets i can get nvgs im guessing thats good
night raids are better for questing
yeah
less people unless they need to queue night time for a quest
but you still have to play careful
U mean to open a map while playing?
yeah
Not ingame but there are maps in the wiki
ive just went in a game of ground zero and my guys like drunk or sumthing
when im using a or d hes leaning and i cant use w or s
he aims the gun up when i press w or s
try pressing alt
yeah after alt tabbing it fixed it
nice
my gun says it ahs a problem i need to examine how do i do that
i needa do it quick theres lots of scavs
press L and to fix it shift + t
oh tahnks there we go
Usec or bear?
main difference is the starting gear, bear for ak's and usec for m4's
and rogues on lighthouse dont shoot usec's immediately i think
wdym? like clothes or what
Yes sir
bear always got more drip
bro i just did a whole lap around the map and found no extarcts
i died to players roaming around which was bs
snapped around and beamed me and yet again my shots didnt do anything π«
use maps on the wiki
yeah i did and 1 of them wasnt even there and the other said somthing about needing a scav
which 1 wasnt there
emercom checkpoint?
1 sec lemme check
hi guys im new do flashlights,lasers and nvg's run out of battery and can i change the battries during a raid?
i couldnt help but notice, do urself a favor and crank that headbob down lol
shouldve either had nakatani basement stairs or emercom at least
they dont
it is but its not dayz bruh 
DayZ sucks lol
thats a setting?
ahhh those would both help alot
is dayz fr that realistic
has extra details in animation/mechanics like diseases poisoning etc etc
bunch of things that half the time u dont even know are there
oh damn i wanted to paly it but kept dying of starvation/dehydration
but this is tarkov we dont fight zombies xd
instead we fight bugs and aimbotting scavs
we fight ghosts of tagilla and killa in the labyrinth
There was a zombie dlc in tarkov before
that mfer eats
crazy
event not dlc
isnt there zombies in pve?
lol
someone said there was to me
no that was an event that was pretty fun/funny to play with friends at the time
hilarious event kinda unplayable tho xD
Yk what I meant
yea
werent there pistol zombies during that event lol
for newer players : theres currently an event both on pve/pvp( pvp not sure if its already over) that gives u an achievement for completing it called friend from norvinsk(questline leads further down) you get this cd put it to rest space lvl 3 and play a game in your hideout among some decrypting u have to do ( data military flash drives)/10min per(needs intel lvl 2 in hideout)
there were
So is it worth doing those task Iβve been avoiding them since theyβre just for an event
That map is weird but once you get the hang of it it gets easy to run
Just thereβs always rats waiting for the right move to strike
If u want the achievement yea
Biggest issue are the pmc extracts as theres not many without the use of a level to turn power on alerting the entire lobby to ur destination(bunker hermetic door) or turn on power in bunker then go down into the rat nest( infamous d2 exfil)
Only one that doesnt say HEY IM HERE IM GOING TO GO THERE YEH? IM GOING TIMES RUNNING OUT,is the cliff descent that reqs rr and paracord without wearing vest armor( not a armored rig where you have heals and mags the other one )
But then theres always someone camping dome cause of that spawn
Reserve is really fun pvp wise down in the bunker but above ground is barf worthy
what about transits?
i was just thinking i might try running it and just transiting out
u can yea im talking legit extracts not a bug
oh i know
isnt there a woods one
or do u need an item for that
oh theres an extract thats exit to woods and the woods transit
would there be anyone willing to teach me the ins and outs of tarkov in a nutshell and how to get started?
i need to relearn most things
Anybody thatβs gonna be on around 6:30 eastern thatβs willing to help me with some quests? Level 10 getting back into the game
ive got some time
@severe remnant could i join
Can fishing gear be completed with a Scav Durability SV-98? (16.9%)
yes
u can also right click, dissemble it and stash only the last part
Oh shit good to know, my ass was already weighing 40. Thank you!
i have yet to get the activation email to register an account. I have checked all the folders including spam what do i do
why does the game think im poor? goes with all currencies, not just gp
I am looking for a warrior to help Dragnet

ah
yh i got it
wait so how does it work if its off? i cant seem to select items anyways
i donβt think it works at all if itβs off
useless setting
π
what one
did
I like the clothes more
okk
And quests
There are a few quests that are altered based on your faction
I always recommend USEC to new players as itβs easier to navigate lighthouse rogue camp
Can someone help me out, i just played a few matches but the game is so new for me :L, died already to much in PVE
Try #pve-lfg Iβm sure there will be people willing to help you learn the game
new player to tarkov lf someone to chill and get advice from on PVE. thanks
Try requesting a Sherpa, we will help you from the beginning
level 9 grinding ground zero in #13 beginner vc if you want to come with
hello i am completly new to tarkov and there are so many youtube videos out there i dont know who to watch or what to watch. if anyone has any reccomendations that would be awesome
if you are completely new to tarkov, there is an official field guide on battlestate games YouTube channel that explains the basics of most of the systems in the game
i think that would give you a good starting basis for the game and not be totally lost in your first raid
thanks!
ty im new to
np good luck yall!
hey I found RB-BK Marked Room Key in one of the jackets and I put in in my sicc pouch and extracted from sewer manhole but it didn't count as found in raid, any idea why this happened??
the raid was probably a run though
to get the survived status (and fir on the items that you found) you have to gain 200xp or wait 7 mins
ive only played a few matches so far but for some reason when i saw an airdrop falling as a scav i couldnt open it
The wiki?
Can anyone tell me if vendor tasks are always the same each wipe? Like will they go in the same order with the same ones? And my next question is what kind of stuff do you even obtain or get by doing them?
Just got Error 214 - Banned from Flea Market
What the heck? All I did was buy some armor π
I don't even have the flea market unlocked. I'm level 18
π
the 'flea market ban' affects traders too, and you just need to wait 5-10 minutes it will be back to normal, you may have missed the captcha or just eft being eft
Ahh okay
I was like: no way i got banned from the flea market without even unlocking it
Should be able too, I've gotten into more air drops on my scav than my pmc π
Hi, is there a channel to find beginners player to play with ? ( I am level 24 )
For the most part yes theyβre the same. For the vast majority of tasks, the item rewards arnt the reason you do them since gear comes and goes so easily. The biggest reason for doing tasks is experience and trader rep so you can get access to better equipment. There are some tasks where the items are good tho such as various storage containers, better secure container, or a helpful item like a compass
In the LFG section, there is a variety of voice channels named βbeginnerβ that are meant to be for new players, if you want additional help you may want to head over to sherpahub and get assistance from a Sherpa
alt f4 and reconnect to the raid
were do i suggest stuff at
ty
ey thanks a lot man
cant let me type
you go to the website and suggest stuff
ohh ok
Sorry Iβm new to the game why canβt I craft the sugar?
ok so if i was to go into customs at night time
does that mean i have a chance to see 4 bosses?
reshala cultists goons and partistan
if anyone is running factory and has room for a lil rat to plant his folder lmk
ill donate u a test drive ready M1A π
i think the goons only spawn on lighthouse at the moment so up to 3 bosses
gayyyyy
you have to digitalize the chocolate first bro duh

would anyone like to play - eu
need partner for first quests Eu/NAE 16+
Do i sell a couple or? dont have a weapon case yet and these attachments taking up my entire stash
why is this game so confusing
i played extractions before but how do i see were the extractions are
Because you didnΒ΄t watch any guides. This is a good series:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vkwJAwVrIs&list=PLl6BKrqBT5LLjJqMpIaJ8JvrUqKape75r
on a map from tarkov wiki for example
You have to learn the locations, follow a map from the wiki
just google: tarkov wiki map name
ok thanks
14h means you aren't getting a quest or hideout item
and are just getting valuable loot roll
it's only 25% chance for a 6h
"valuable" 75k key that i already have 2 of
first time gambling? you dont always make money.
fuck u

Yeah so you see that purple background
ik but its annoying getting a key i wont use for the 3rd time
sell all except razor vudu scopes
yessir
for gunsmith part 6. what is wrong?
keep wafle and saker
follow wiki, multiple parts differ from recommended
expand the stats so we cans ee
but yea i was about to say that^\
it was the wrong mag. lol
oh shi we got new red guys now
we do! hi!
Im making lots of typos today
thats what i was doing for a while. Ive been here for a while but i had uni and life was busy.
Anyone looking to help a timmy
i will help you \
so why does the 20x1mm toy pistol exist? Even in wiki its not relevant to anything
its just a troll weapon lol
As a joke.
F U N
Is it even physically possible to kill anyone with it?
It does damage, yes.
1
Tarkov players need to stop finding meaning in the most random shit and put their energy into useful things
As to my knowledge everything finds its use one or other way
Even when its purpose is to be sold but that one cannot even be sold at the flea market lol
oh wait you can
the Blicky is nice to use when you want to reduce the durability of an armor. It does 1 armor damage per hit and is way safer to use than real bullets, because you don't risk accidentally damaging your friend
speaking of trolls xD
oh wait unless you intentionally want to have something take 1 damage. So there are missions that need you on less durability?
I think some missions require u to turn in certain things at under certain durability yes, maybe a terrible way to explain it but lol
not specifically 1 dmg, but take a look at the quests Sew it good 2 and 3
Just started playing this wipe and only 220 hours in game total so still pretty new, them removing level cap on GZ is wild lol. Keep running into level 50+ rats
whats the difference?
Shotgun shells is Ryzhy edition
meaning?
Nowadays only unlocks 1 outfit
how do u get it?
It was pre-order
and with Unheard edition you get it too
You would be surprised. I don't know the statistics in Arena, but a year ago nearly two thirds (>60%) of active accounts in the main game had the Edge of Darkness edition
i mean it makes sense ig
mostly ppl who actually play the game even bother with arena
arena is only good if u like tarkov and if u dont have additional time to play arena ud gravitate more towards tarkov than arena
when using the transit and you save your items how long does it take to arrive at the base?
what 762x39 gun should I get for pve lvl2 traders
i like the mk47
if u have ref 3
does cultist figurine spawn in the same places as the other figurines or is it different from the rest
Try them all out and see which ones you like
They're all in the same spawns
im kinda new to the game anyone want to help me out teach me a lil sumn
anyone know how to fix this issue where my game will crash every time i extract or die
Disable the mip streaming option in the graphics settings
who do i talk to about getting tked instantly
#discord-mod-mail with proof
if it happened in this discord
thanks
if it was through ingame lfg, nothing you can do, donβt use it
Im on Shoreline looking for the health resort universal utility room key but it's not spawning. Does this mean I've already found it, or something else?
no
Why wouldn't it be spawning
not a 100% spawn
I see
could use some help pvp
guys can anyone let me know if pc can run tarkov?
specs?
No that system you posted will not run Tarkov
Damπ well Ty for letting me know
which map should i learn first?
any tips for The Extortionist part 1?
Question: Why does it say my account is 55 years and 288 days old π
Go at night. Super easy, In and out
Because youβre viewing the public profile and not your actual stats page, that stat is hidden to other players (and so also yourself on the public profile view)
ohh okay
HELLO
i love gambling
and it already gave me a rb-bk so i just need a rb-vo to be able to get 314 later
just to clarify, the reserve keys can all be on 1/10 and theyll still be able to be traded in for a 10/10 314 through jaeger right ll3?
yes sir!
If you never gamble how would you ever win?
Yes
Jaeger doesnβt use them he just thinks they look cool
well now i just need to get jaeger ll3
and to survive 27 raids
plus get rbvo first
Is ground zero not level locked anymore? as a level 3 i got killed by a level 32
hey i just hit level 20 any recommendations for weapons ? i have almost all t2 traders and a good amount of money
depends on what ammo in your stash imo
anything with medium and up pen on class 4 i generally run
How do I get gear? I keep running into people with full gear but all I have is useless pistol.
How do you grind resources? I cant fund my game play. I had 3 rounds and I'm now I'm wounded and cant play? How do you get to play for more than 10 minutes?
cheaper questing: 7.62x39mm FMJ (III) + AK-103
maybe u have alot of m855+ bullets: 5.56x45mm Warmageddon with medium m4a1. warmageddon shoots legs and accuracybonus.
7.62x54mm R FMJ (IV medium) + svds
would be my go ish. p90 for legs.
There is a balance of how to build up your economy.
Magic doesnt happen in two runs, but questing your levels will open up traders for you to gain acces to better gear and survailability.
You would also need to always bring with you healing to "flee out of combat" if ur not willing to fight.
Not sure what that means.
Play scav asap cooldown is ready, aim to get quest items in raid. secondary aim to get items to sell on flea market expensive.
Buy keys to "best rooms" and farm them
Suit your gear and weapon towards what your quest are for.
Grab item and survive? Pistol + Paca works, sneak past everything and then stim and run for your life. Hehehe.
Need to grab 5 items on same map? Go for only 2 and survive. Repeat.
I'm not at that point, I dont think. I cant even get out alive. I got out once as a scav and that gear has already been lost.
Is there no other way other than scav runs?
Scav helps you learn maps, mechanics and chance-taking/risks without setting you back.
I never almost play scav, i tend to avoid combat, dont loot same building if already taken (active pmc in it, youve heard him earlier shoot)-thinking. Run past, take next building, quick loot and extract. Smooth and silent works.
If same building, whats your exit strategy? Wich window do you love to jump out of and flee. If "I need this loot to sell for money" you probaly are not intrested in pvp with pmc's. Just leave
Right now, scav is on cooldown, unlike you, scav is the only character I have that spawns with gear. still got another 15 min before I can play again.
To begin with no. Once you improve at the game enough you wonβt need scav runs at all
The wait totally kills the vibe.
No, my PMC is wounded and dies 15secs in
Bleeding?
also, no gear and melee weapons are tcomeplete trash
Yeah but you donβt need them to make money
How much is healing rn?
20k? I forgor
Not sure, I just know I dont have it
If you put stuff in your secure container as long as itβs worth more than your healing costs youβre fine
Last time I tried to play, I died pretty quickly.
And you can cut down your healing costs only healing what you need to be stabilized
Ya my 1st raid I lasted abt 10 seconds
Being able to play for 10 minutes before being softlocked out of the game doesnt make for a good learning experience.
Itβs a learning cliff
What u can do
Once your pmc is medically stabilized
You can load into a night raid
Any sign of danger u just book it
Play overly cautious
After 1 raid you should have money to buy some better stuff like a small rig
Exponential profit gain n all dat
Think like u go into a raid with 0 items
You have 8 slots
Average about 10k roubles a slot thatβs 80k
Get a rig for abt 7k 8 slots + 30k headphones?
You can now take out 160k worth of stuff on average
Always insurance your gear+weapons. Playing with a minor pistol or "just a standard AKS weapon" and die wont make me intrested in looting you. I mostly just want the dogtag and few items in ur bag.
Get urself a backpack and gamer ur moving
Also ya this is good advice
And if ur low level any good gear you might have might be left out if pity
Not very likely but I do it whenever the situation comes up
I remember also have a steep learning curve, but wow, this game is the best game ive ever played since the last two decades.
can someone help with gunsmith #7 idk why its wrong
Some gunsmith builds have been slightly changed first take out the bullets from chamber and mag if it doesnt work watch gigabeef on yt he shows the correct build
ty
Wish this was true. Ive insured my scav gear and I havent gotten much back; not that it matters, since I've lost all of that too.
Pretty sure the insurance is what made me broke.
can someone with ll3 pk help me
With wot?
Iβd assume he needs a part from PK level 3 loyalty, @gray night message me around 6est if Iβm on Iβll help ya if still need
alright
i need a part for a quest
I think this is the real problem with new players; the skill gap. I dont know where I get shot from, there is no kill cam, and it makes it impossible to know what you did wrong.
I creep, I die. I run, I die. I camp, I die.
Which vc?
No idea where the shot comes from. Just dead.
beginner 8
@pearl garnet welcome to Tarkov, even I with 3k hour sometimes donβt know where I die from. Could be a dude in a bush 40 meters out or a dude on a balcony in streets I didnβt clear before moving. Just part of the game. First thing is to learn maps and the sneaky spots
scav a shit ton of times and learn each map even thru quests on each map dying will happen almost every raid you need to figure out the rotations on each map so u can safely navigate the map without dying, tho other players do the same too
map knowledge will carry u like a good 50% the rest is movement/aim/angles when peeking/ not over holding the peek cause thats how you get head eyes'd and stuff like that
movement i would say if u can get it down it will boost your survival by like a 30%?
The 30 min wait is dumb. I die within 5 minutes. By the time 25 more min pass, I've already moved on.
Well itβs supposed to be balanced around you spending time in a raid :p
What you can do
Practice raids
While you wait for scav cooldown
Just load into a practice raid to learn extracts, loot spots, spawns, routes
All that jazz
And play at nightyime
i only have about 1600hrs but im willing to help some people out if they need it im free for about the next 2 hours
YAY
well this is interesting
It takes a while. Took me about 50 hours before I started to understand and my gamesense became better. Now at 100 hours, I can actually hold my own. The gear comes and goes, don't be afraid about losing it. And if you time your raids correctly, you should just go PMC raid, into a SCAV raid, and then into a PMC raid with very little downtime
And kill scavs as a pscav to get more free loot 
misinformation dont shoot scavs as a player scav you lose karma with fence and after losing some rep scavs are auto enemies till u get it back up
Its not rlly misinformation, killing scavs as a pscav is an actual tactic at the cost of fence rep
Considering scavs can spawn with any kind of key/keycard its a solid strat
not worth losing all that rep for a broken ak and a chance for a random key
better to grind up the rep as you get better spawn items on ur scav based on the rep u have
As someone who only scavs to ruin others pscav raids, i couldnt care less about fence rep
for newer players telling them to kill scavs as pscav is experience ruining bro u gonna make them drop the game
and thats why people shouldn't listen to ur advice π 
Lol wish the game told you this. I've killed so many non-player scavs and wounded a few players.
yea dont do that as pscav if u want to survive with whatever u find
Too late now lol I ain't got shit. I run melee pmc cause im fuckin broke
Yes
Pve is stupid easy and not an issue.
Fully loaded in pve with plenty of extra gear
Hello! I need someone to confirm me something π
If someone bought the Squad pack, and lost the email with the codes (years ago)... can they still see the codes from within their profile page? Or do they get the list of codes again when checking transaction history?
what vc my guy?
Already found a group bnig dog. My bad
ah my bad, thanks! π
Also why suddenly I have 200 ping and 15% packet loss when playing on PMC? But on scav it works fine?
This is my third wipe and the first Iβve taken seriously for questing. Iβm about 90 tasks away from kappa and I also want to prestige, my question is should I continue to try and get it when nikita said there was going to be a soft core wipe? Do I have time or should I give up?
Itβs not wiping
im new and been of and on for tarkov but still find it fun just idk what im doing all the time
and i want to learn
what are you trying to learn
anything to help me because i don't know much i can kill people but i never know what valuable
honestly look up sheefgg, he has a bunch of cool videos on youtube for how to make roubles, ways to go through maps to find good ammo, best ways to take on the bosses etc
thank u i will do that π
he also streams everyday but monday and sometimes sunday. ive been watching him for about 2 years and just watching how he plays has helped me tremendously
For PvP I watched NoGeneral, he is pretty good. Learned a lot from him and started winning my fights a lot more
I watch the peanut for tips
How many times do you have to hit someone to kill them with a hatchet?
Pretty sure some of them were headshots
lol
Got a Katt kill, but died at the end... any pointers?
watching that kill is bizarre as hell
That was my second. They all look like that
well... the two I had
How do you prevent spawn killing? The very next round a scav spawned around the corner and proceeded to shot me in the face the moment I stepped out of the broken tank in factory.
well if you go in no gear and tagged in curse the AI are actually on the map and moving around before the players spawn in
Got 4 rounds this time
I got no gear man
I just get smoked. I didnt even want to fight that scav, but it spawned next to me.
you can't afford a pistol?
all gone
i can help u out
my last pistol I lost this morning
I can give it a shot, but im pretty sure my lobbies are cursed. youre warned
anyone keen to help me out?
what do u need help with
level 10, ive played before smi decent just getting clapped most of the raids against high levels. Need to complete some beginner tasks
im right there with u twin
what level are you?
like 5 or someting
fuck it join up?
yeah where
ive added you
can anyone help me getting some good lots in vc and play duo? i am new to this game i have some decent loot becasue i sometimes play scav and get some good loot
keys
How long does it take to heal from dead?
an hour?
I mathed it, its about 45 min from 0
1 point every 5 secs is what it looks like
it (time) goes down if u upgrade medstation and rest space (iirc)
440 points = 440*5/60 = 40ish min
hey so i extracted as scav and i just have a black screen :)
fn scar + rfb + 2 mp5s + a couple of other shit
do i wait or alt f4? if i alt f4 ill have to extract with the loot again right?
been like this for like 5 mins now
i can still hear birds chirping and ambient wind as if i was in the raid
what if i want the 15 mins til raid ends? will i be MIA?
oh its raining now
it froze my pc when i alt f4ed and i had to restart
interesting
If your skill is high enough when you repair it will do that
I have to go to reserve a bunch if anyone needs help on that map i'll be there
gah damn
randomly or every time?
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Weapon_Maintenance nvm i found thge page
This come-up will be next level. I feel for anyone that has to deal with me once I get better. Nothing but a Katt and a dream.
anyone need a hand with anything on pve?
What was the play here? Run?
Since u are what the game calls "cursed", all ai scavs will auto rush you. I would aligned myself at a short corridor or the door you left open. That way 4 at the same time cant shoot at you as the door frame is so small. Luckily you get one scav down, snap-loot its weapon and shoot 3 hs in a row befor they enter the door to kill you π
Whats the play here.
Player got me this time. Not that it was hard... the one shot in ammo cost more than the kill.
Not sure where to go.. as you can tell, lots of shots going off.
Legit not tilted. Trying to learn.
Same situation, i would let scavs come to me and kill them in the door you spawned at. Maybe rush the Office and down to cellar, the stairs, hardcover and small corridords. You rushed left into the "glass corridor" where almost always a pmc will spawn. It will often stand where he stands and look down if someone tries to rush him the first 30 seconds of a game
Go forward til you hear scavs, find a chokepoint to end their lives. Mash him and weapon.
They are outside the door.
Someone is injured.
Someone is running
Scav? Someone speaking Russian.
Tiptip or glapglap? Glaplap or gloopgloop is pmc
Sure
Hehehehee
Comes from experience, pmc russian voices are more "scary, fat, powerful" and scav ai voices are just eiihhyyyyh
scavs are drunk russians BEARs are professional russians
have you done any scav runs to loot up with less risk of running into combat?
professional russians are always drunk tho
This is a good one...
lmaoo true
random tip, melee attacks do way less damage if you are out of arm stamina
factory is tough going in without a gun since its so close quarters
Yeah, not my cup of tea either. I admire you trying this the bruteforce style.
Hit and out of eye-sight from the scav, push a slice and back behind cover. Works better.
One or two hits at most, then reset the scavs aim by walking out of sight
I dont know what else to do. I got a scav run earlier and now im out of cash
Nothing left and now imm out of game again....
Waiting for the heal
Dont u wear anything in your pouch?
Or like, the container
Run reserve naked, find loot and put them in the container. Die safely and sell the items to traders for "100k"
Stuff purple items, military tech items, maybe techy healing items. Sell them off.
Why do get less rep for killing scavs... how do i get gear...
forgot to record, but I only lasted 18 seconds.
now i have to wait 30 min... wtf man
because killing scavs as a scav is frowned upon
anyone wanna help me out with a few of the starter quests
scavs are neutral to eachother so if you kill one the rest will gang up on you and aggro on you
yeah dont kill scavs as a scav
loot containers like jackets duffle bags weapon boxes and extract with full bag and bring it to your stash
you can take the gear your scav spawned with and your pmc may use it too if you survive
yup that's true
I'll take it.
I feel like thats my only strength.
I got nothing on a guy with a sniper rifle in the woods.
Last time I went ground zero, I got hit with a grenade launcher.
Like, cant the dude see that I dont have gear? Why waste the grenade?
Two... technically.
The first one missed enough to not kill me.
Thereβs a static emplacement grenade launcher thatβs completely free to use, wasnβt that one?
I dont know. I'm way too new to know that.
because its funny

and theres always the possibility that person that you spared grabs a gun and shoots you in the back
Nailed it.
How do you get out at the tent?
If you dont heal after a raid, can you not heal without enough rep?
I cant find the doctor to heal.
I sold the stuff from the scav run, but now I cant find the doctor....
therapist only offers to heal you for rubles on the post-raid screen, if you click past without using it you need to buy medkits from Therapist and heal yourself while in your stash
also nice!
How do I get the room 112 key? It's not spawning at any of the locations I look at
You can load back into a raid and die. Once you die you can heal with therapist again
The play is to not hatchet run, and certainly not on factory if you are going to do it anyway
Need the factory emergency exit key
How do you change your walk speed? It used to be my mouse wheel... But I changed my scope zoom to that... Now I cant control how fast I am walking....
Is it Shoulder transition?
no. shoulder transition is kinda like leaning to the other side. it moves your weapon from right side to left side
Keep walk speed as mouse wheel, and make scope zoom ALT + Mousewheel
i think that is default, but it works best imo
What is walk speed called?
ctrl + scroll i think
Or is that stance height
That might be stance height
I hate clicking LALT always have had a problem with that
stance height, or ctrl + scroll is like crouching. you can set your height that way so youre not in a full crouch
Its weird that I dont see anything under controls about changing walk speed. I know it was there.
reddit says its under the "next" and "previous," however i can not say if that is true or not
That would make sense... Those are both not set...
Let me check
That is what it is.... but now it is also changing my zoom setting ahah
yay. at least we have 1 thing figured out. XD
π
idk if this is the place to post but any beginners want to run some raids and do some tasks together?
the best place for that will be either the pvp-lfg or the pve-lfg below.
hmm it might be possible to bind it to holding down the scroll wheel and scrolling
and having walking speed just be normal scroll wheel
Personally I have Scope zoom to ctrl+scroll and walk speed to scroll and quick zoom to caps lock if thatβs easier
can someone give me a rundown of what hardcore features are left after all the patches? Im getting the itch to play and im wondering what differences to "normal" tarkov are left right now
ammo and meds cant go in secure container
iirc thats pretty much it lmao
and flea access when?
level20
thank you
no prob!
I don't have gear. Its the only thing I have.
1 (one) ubgl for 5 mp5s :(
with red rebel extracts do armored rigs count as armor or no armor vest?
Pretty sure they do
The sound is weird. Things that are slightly in front you on either side sound like its coming from behind you.
They donβt count
Did any1 else have an issue with arena, i am trying to download it for like 2 hours and I keep getting error0
It happened again... someone in front of me sounded like they were behind me. I turned around and got shot in the back. Is that normal?
I confuse audio from my front and back sometimes :p
It only happens in this game from what Ive seen. It ridiculously confusing.
1.0 ready
All I do is wiggle my head a little bit
I can get a pretty accurate location from that
Thats what I usually do to, but I didnt have time for that this time around.
It was a life or death thing and the bad info caused my death.
You get used to it :p
Welcome to tarkov
The sounds never right and is constantly getting worse
This no-gear gameplay is getting old and tiring. Legit got a melee kill only to get sniped while trying to loot the scav. Yawnnnnn....
Boring.
loot stuff on your scav and avoid fighting people and sell the stuff you get
I only got enough cash left to heal one more time until I cant play again.
So wish me luck.
dont just brute force it with melee you aren't going to get anywhere
I already lost my gear from my scav run
may be it could help to look for a group to join who would be willing to help you and give you some kits like atleast a shotgun and some light meds like in https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/541976915272007681
running with people would increase your chance of survival exponentially
I tried the "find group", never fill.
have you been able to stuff anything inside your secure container to save when you die and sell to traders for a bit of money?
No
I can barely stay alive
And when I do get a kill I equip the gear and die shortly there after. Usually to some OP vet with full gear.
are you going on factory for all of these
Makes for a balanced and fun game, for sure.
Yes I tried the other maps and I figure I should learn one.
Thats what the YT vid said... wtf do I know
well that kind of explains it atleast for factory, its a close quarters map and when someone shoots it's like a dinner bell
when you were looking for group was it in the ingame function?
or in the discord here
#beginners-assistance message
there is also the sherpa tarkov server with experienced players who offer their time to help newer players in a kinda professional manner, you could ask there to group up with someone who may be willing to help too
for scav?
the ingame find group feature is a death wish you'll just get teamkilled at the start of raid, in discord is much better
lmao
last random tip you could reset your profile in the tarkov website account settings and get all your starter shit back if you get really desperate
Does any1 know how to fix arena i tried to download it and right after instalation i got repair option and every time i try to use it it only checks the integrity of the game files
I'm going to do that. But I'll still end up running the Katt. I'm going to sell all the starter gear so I can heal instead of losing it after a couple of days and being broke from insurance and heals.
That should get me a decent chunk of change and I'll be able to add a pistol to my melee for all of my runs.
selling your starting gear is definitely not a good idea especially if youre struggling to stay alive
better to learn to use the gear than to just lose it and run a melee weapon only and wonder why youre not having success, has to be a troll?
i read something yesterday on this discord, maybe this channel, about broken installation fix something. maybe u found it already. or google some for the work around
Managed to start the game through files thx
anyone want to teach me the game i bought it yesterday
shoreline
yes
Congurjulations its alot better than dying every fucking raid π
cant even play pvp no more π
i thought you were doing that one task were you gotta kill scavs on shoreline at night
