i like the gun itself irl and tarkov
does hefty damage too
i will buy every rsh12 and make it 1m each
youre cooked
shiii
still trying to find the toz for skier
go factory bru
its full of toz
nice
need explanations?
no no, im just lazy
ok
the game simply does not tell you things, like how ammo and armor works, traders etc
yeah, been watching youtube videos abt that
im glad ive played arena breakout before eft
i didnt know arena had tutorial
that explains how pen works
This game been out forever so there’s a video for almost everything you need to know about this game
In my opinion, they are too different
i dont feel fear in arena
it doesnt but there is pen system and dying is almost loosing nothin
so u learn quicker
(ignore my stupid ass sounds)
there is literally nowhere a very up to date tutorial that explains the most basic things, that removes a lot of headache. At least none that i have found, maybe the jesse kazam one
now u can sell ur marked key
colored cards or access cards
because labs is free rn
access
A-
please tell me you didnt buy them
no
great
scav
sell them to therapist because i doubt anyone will buy them from flea
i thought they were expensive
65 k each
usually around 160k but rn around 60k
:c
btw, how do u guys get the scav boxes early? do you buy or barter?
buy
aigh
scav raiders
do they tag and curse?
those are raiders, not scavs
raiders are sweatlord scavs
they were like normal scavs??
no
i killed 4
theyre stronger imo
maybe bcus i picked up a hk from ground
scavs are a little dumb sometimes
the extracts are pain in the ass on labs tho
i activated one
died on my way back
2.2k xp at least
Raiders are a beefier subfaction of scavs that show up on reserve and in the lab.
eh
its good to have
i believe around 80k on flea
keep it
It's good to either have around in stash or to carry in raid if you have a large abundance of em
But mainly good to keep in stash to heal yourself for free
Tbh, might as well use the key than to sell, since wipe is coming in a few days
Might as well do scav or/and PMC loot runs
if i tried to use it
You might lose money trying to sell the key due to flea market fees
The key won't stay on the flea forever
i can extend the duration
it costed 950 k rub to put on sale
i cant backdown now
But the question is if anyone is gonna buy it before the wipe hits
Might as well just do raids, sure you may die, but least you'd try to learn the hotspots of where people are bloodthirsty for pvp
By the time it's wipe, it's fair game
Everyone has pretty much the same gear that all start off with
tried completing secrets of polkhim yesterday, and died with the quest item on factory. I returned to customs crack house but the case is not in the stash location. does it not reset if lost in raid? PVE
@dusk reef if you need any help let me know
Yeah I just went back to customs not long ago and the package still doesn’t spawn in crack house. Dunno what to do
@dusk reef ok i recommend that you rest and we check it out if you like.
i am unable to get the quest shipping delay part 2 from the btr driver, does anyone know if this is a bug or something? the wiki just says you have to complete A helping hand from the mechanic first which I have already completed. Is there another requirement not shown on the wiki?
looking for somebody to teach me strategies and how to play the game in pvp, also need help with spots in maps that contain valuables and extracts
Anyone know how to acquire a gezel that is 0-50% durability
pve?
you buy or barter a new one, get the plates out and let friends shoot it, while you wear it
and heal
Alternatively you can let the border map snipers shoot you, but its risky
Eleven days
im on that same quest bro
you should help each other
If you want to tomorrow we could break each others armor tomorrow
oh for sure bro! just DM or something
I sent you a dm
Why are key tools so expensive compared to docs case?
Holds keys and just 1x1
How do I come back from a loss streak and lost practically all my equipment?
kill people
or scav
With what?
preferably a gun, but anything will do
DO NOT LOG INTO THE GAME RIGHT NOW, SERVER ISSUES ARE CAUSING ACCOUNT WIPES.
lol
you EU? i can show you some things if your down i guess
But I just said I have nothing left after a losing streak 😅
I literally only got a knife
Well right now I cannot log on to the game any way
well yes but when we can
Sure, what you got in mind?
are you new to the game
and from the EU or europe
Yes, and play PVE only
EU and Europe are the same thing
No thanks
nah. EU is european union
NO THEY ARE NOT?????
The UK and i think switzerland (and a few others like georgia) are not in the EU
Ok my bad... Just an association. I thought that they will be the same region
Usually are 🤔
I mean.... what does geopolitics matter in the context of the game? 🤔
wipe is in less then two weeks. Just do it.
No thanks
nothing really but just useful information
For? Clearly the servers are the same for both regions >_>
o/
Back to this question I guess
scav run
anyone new that wants to learn a Map before 1.0? PvE? Shoot me a DM and we can plan a sherpa session.
On SCAV runs I've got another problem 😅
I am for the life of me unable to differentiate between a SCAV NPC and PMC NPC....
best way to learn is to keep playing scav
basically if it looks expensive it's a pmc
in doubt run away
you will learn after a few raids
Expensive is probably another experience thing 😅
well if it looks like a farmer it's a scav xD
kek
anyone new that wants to learn a Map before 1.0? PvE? Shoot me a DM and we can plan a sherpa session. (Im currently a trial sherpa)
scavs dont shoot u if u a scav unless the other scav is a player cause some player scavs still kill u even if ur a scav and they are also one
Also, stay away from scav bosses and guards
He is playing pve
oke
Basically if it screams really loud or in English, just run the other way
If it's pve, PMC AIs would voice line before opening fire
Hey, I'm still new to Arena and I just unlocked the PKM. Is it normal to only be able to select FMJ rounds for it despite there being other 7.62x54mm types in Arena?
u are not getting top tier ammo as an enforcer because u are focused on armor and a big gun
different classes get different tiers of ammo, marksman gets the best ammo
do ppl use crosshairs on tarkov or is there no point?
no point
RIP, wish I had known -600k
if u like inspect it a Links option should show which tells u what ammo is accessible and by what class etc
hi guys, can someone tell me where I can get some Military COFDM Wireless radio transmiter, like, not by maps but by places?
try this
thanks I've been looking for those for quite a while
not a beginner but genuine question for the extract on train depot woods if i have already prebrought the "mines" with me does it like disappear cuz i had one in my docs beforehand and when i loaded into a raid it despawned
Dont play pkm, use the m60 with m80 ammo
You can’t take it in-raid from stash
It’s a raid only item
i thought so thanks
Reserve, d2 and lighthouse basically any rare item spawns
Does anyone have an answer for this? Sorry for bumping it
If youre sure you got all the steps right try to go to talk to the driver after resetting your game, might not be your fault BTR has been bugged all wipe pretty much if it doesnt work after a few time file a bug ticket
Is there a way when in the trading menu to auto fill the trade items from my stash?
Like... Its sooooo annoying to need to look for the specific item they want to drag and drop... Surely there's an auto-fill ammount, no?
Resetting my game? You mean just exiting and reloading? Because it hasn't let me get it for a few days
Yes some quests are stuck and you need to quit the game and come back for them to appear, did you try to talk to the BTR on different maps? Normally shoudn't have to but like I said he's super buggy
??autofill
ok smt was supposed to pop up
but there is a blue button with 4 arrows inwards u need to press
As in if a trader wants like I dunno.... 3 toilet papers or whatever.... Instead of me finding them in my stash and drag.... aahhhh
Ok I'll try that next time, thanks
that will work for cash and items
Wait I thought he was only on woods? What other map does he drive around on?
Didnt meant maps sorry, he's on Streets and Woods
So maybe if I go to streets and talk to him it might work? I'll give it a try ty
anyone to go on gzero to get the wine?
help i was just buying ammo from the flea and now it says im banned??
when i try to open flea it just says this
how do i fix this?
I’m pretty sure I seen someone say you just have to wait and restart the game
ah okay
are any of the reserved marked keys better than the others? i feel like 1 is better than the other 2 but i was curious others opinions
marked 314 for customs is really good but really expensive theres another marked key for a factory zone in streets ion remember the name that is also really ogod
anyone trying to run im trying to learn more im semi new
I am brand new. where should i start
anyone with experience tryna help me learn the ropes
learning the basics
watch the tarkov field guid on youtube
Bro some guy just booted me offline mid raid will i load back in or no?
I had so much stuff
Omg you can thank gosh
Bro i join back and it says server connection lost
This game is so ass
I have like 4 mil in stuff in that raid
Offline doesn’t even give you the 4mil value if you extract or do you mean pve?
is street of tarkov a good map to learn for a beginners ?
No absolutely not
ive came back to the game recently after playing a lil last wipe, heard theres a hardcore wipe going on right now right ?
not anymore, softcore now
Thanks
no the guy i killed booted my internet offline bc i killed him
thats not really possible bro
theres no way he got your ip through tarkov only (unless im heavily overestimating bsg)
what are you even talking about
idk what happened then he said if i kill hes booting me offline i kill him then like 5 minutes later my wifi stops working
yeah idk man might just be a coincidence
i dont think bsg would be stupid enough to leak peoples ips
he could have crashed server not ur internet
that is possible, but youd expect the servers to have some sort of ddos protection atleast right?
Not rly, lol
damn
i guess so
If anyone would like this I made a pdf containing all the keys in the game, what maps they are used on, if they are quest keys, what keys to bring in to raid, and it all includes pictures. Working on a key quest guide as well. All of this is available on the wiki but this is one document containing it all so it should save a little time scanning through.
I JUST DID MY FIRST EVER SUCCESSFULL LAB RAID
YIPEEEEEEEEE
and somehow early extract
what key do i need for cellars extract on factory
factory emergency exit
thx
if you ever need help for labs i got you i can help you learn the map and can run some keycards with you
are these good stats for my first wipe (ive played a little like a year ago but was less than 10 hours)
thanks but my internet is really unstable with lot of lagspikes
also cant talk much bcus my roomate sleeps all the time and i dont wana disturb him
work on surviving more raids, other then that yeah good stats
would anyone care to run with a new person
Before i had to pay for heal i would go into factory sprint in get the safe loot and leave and i would die alot😭😭
I'd recommend scavving factory between PMC raids and just sprinting out, it's guaranteed free loot. It's something I used to do a ton, you can get task items, free loot, and fence rep, and occasionally you'll stumble on a PMC body on your way to extract.
As for your stats, for your first wipe yeah they're pretty good, though I notice you have killed 23 things while on your scav - careful you're not killing other scavs, scavving is really important when you're getting started and the lower your fence rep gets, the longer you have to wait for your scav
EU?
maybe try and learn a better map to scav
like lighthouse or shoreline maybe
I'm NA but i dont mind playing EU if you'd like to host
im down. would your ping be reasonable?
Yeaaa i understand the game a lot more now and didnt realize scavs dont kill other scavs for a bit lol but yea i usually scav factory and sometimes can even get some safe loot
yes it should be
sound. you wanna dm me?
Yea ive been practicing lighthouse with scav runs
lighthouse id maybe stay away from on PMC runs until you actually need to play it
Fortunately, game's wiping in 10 days so nothing is gonna last too long. With that in mind though actually I would just scav to learn maps, spend the next 10 days learning as much as you can about each map so you're ready for 1.0
Yea i tried a few times and kept getting sniped and decided to use scav runs to learn the map and loot spawns
Yea thats what ive been doing while trying to get some pvp in for fun
Where did you see the scav kills?
Your total kills minus your kills you've gotten on your PMC (top left around your character model is PMC only stats)
Hitting escape and clicking 'disconnect'
worth doing if you're not gonna make it to extract, kills your character so you can get insurance back
for newer players do you guys reccomend more of a slow pace gameplay and sticking to the basic maps like customs, woods along with simply watching a lot of videos on youtube orr are there more indepth things that help
go streets of tarkov for scav runs
yields good loot most of the time
it wont count for "surviving" some quests and anything you found in the raid will not be Found In Raid anymore
meaning you cant use them for quests
so no negatives on standings or account wise?
but anything you found in the raid is no longer classified as found in raid
no
ah
nice
waht yall recommend for getting lux life quest done?
just sit ina corner wait for final mins of raid?
bcus everyone seems to just rush spawns when raid starts
and i just cant even fight back
Depends on your spawn
If you are close then run in and grab it and reset via flare, if not chill for like 10min and then go
reset?
Extract
people seems to camp that extract
i tried a raid with my friend
got cought on crossfire from 2 teams
you wanna run together?
i wish but i cant talk much or at all
my roommate is sleepin
he is always sleepin
somehow
I mean it’s up to you I don’t rly have much to do rn
xD
Ngl when you play with other ppl just have them stream their pov on discord and put it on your second monitor
i dont have second monitor
does everyone in this sever have 2nd monitors?
Many people have one
ur like the 4th person to suggest somethin involving 2nd monitor
If you play solo you are mostly fine with only 1 but in teams it’s suggested to have a second monitor
can u help me learn the map i feel like i should start doing labs i havent done a single normal run on it
but i dont have pve just so u know
im staying away from my hometown
its even likea miracle i could have set my pc here
and monitors are expensive
Labs = best map
Then I would suggest to just stick with solo playing for now or hope you don’t shoot your mate accidentally
if only i could vc
as long as u have somethin to deal with raider npcs
but
they have like extreme loot
HOLY SHIT
I FINALLY COMPLETED LUX LIFE QUEST
LETS GOOOOOOOOO
nice nice
keep getting killed 30 seconds into a raid. any advice?
either go scav runs
take ur scav weapons to pmc raids
and hope for the best
or
make a solid gun and armor build
also which maps u playin
ground zero for these beginner tasks
ah yes the rush to the spawns map
pretty normal to die in first 30 secs in that map
i just did a run and got lucky
on that map if u dont have good gear try to hide or rush to the nearest pmc spawn
else someone is gona rush u
kill them dont die
anyone need help with anything (pve)?
your hitting shots and whatever but your placement isnt great try aiming head. if you have bad ammo, go legs
Why?
Btw if you’re still doing those in a few hours I could run them with you (I also have to complete the beginner tasks)
thanks! i'll be off though. i'm sure i'll be around some other time
thinking of getting off already cuz repeatedly dying is pain 
should i sell this?
do you play labs?
wipe is in 10 days
mostly 2k hour sweats are around
nop
i see. just had a better run and i'll leave it at that. stayed alive for a while, killed two scavs and almost came out with some nice loot. Fell upon a player in a bush near terragroup and died
been doing factory. not as good?
The wipe is less than two weeks away, if you're not going to go to labs might as well sell it
yields less loot and tagilla can spawn
streets of tarkov is more open map and bosses wont harras u if u dont get into their areas
ive died to tagilla so many times
i basicaly started hating factory
ahh i see.
anyhow thank you for all the advice, peacekeeper!
c:
then yes, sell it
what is this?
ask google translate
uh guys
i was raiding lab
there was a green mist on one of the floors
do we have gas granades in tarkov?
bcus when mist lifted there was 2 dead pmcs
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Weapons#Smoke_grenades there are only smoke nades, no toxic gas nades
is softcore and hardcore tarkov like a challange or a different mode
neither.
Hardcore was a ruleset that applied to the whole PvP wipe, with the rules gradually changing over time to allow BSG to test stuff. Softcore is an event that came at the end of this wipe to serve as a contrast to HC. It's been also put to PvE shortly after it came to PvP
Unless there was a late halloween event that was probably one of the single digit maniacs who unironicaly bring smoke grenades into raid.
they probably still think the bug is in the game
Which bug lol
there was a bug if u unpinned the smoke grenade then put it back into ur inventory it would throw the grenade for everyone else and create smoke but for u nothing happened and ud still have the nade
Ok
Ive seen a few ppl on Labs with smokes already
that bug shouldve been patched a while ago tho, but theres a few people like myself who sue them for the love of the game
Is it normal to get 15 minute scav queue times? I have not played the game in years.
Just alt-f4 and try again
hello, i want to buy and play the game but wanted to ask if there's any reason to wait for the steam release or just buy and play now? as far as i understand it there isn't any differences?
but wanted to double check
If you buy before release you can get extra cosmetic stuff #eft-announcements
But it might be cheaper on release, no idea
The steam release will have a big patch and a wipe with it, as far as I know there will be no difference in the game on or off steam other thana couple pre order bonuses
Neat thanks!
sorry had another question. the wipe mentions resetting the stash and hide out and all that stuff. does that mean any stash size upgrades also get wiped? i was just looking at the different purchase options and some mention larger stashes but wasn't sure if stash size says large from the purchase and through any in game stash size upgrades or not
it says error 248. can anyone please help?
Got a temp ban for "spam" so I'll shorten my answer:
The wipe resets your progress and stash to whatever your game edition gives you by default. Prestige and achievements are retained.
Everything you bought for real cash is retained, be it outfits or extra stash lines.
You can always upgrade to a better game edition later, paying the difference with your current game edition so it is commonly advised to start with a lower tier package and upgrade later during a sale. The listed price does not include local tax.
awesome, thanks for the info!
it does tell u what to do
??support
Support@battlestategames.com
i may be pretty late on this but what dogtag barters did they add? i know the mechanic ak50 one and the ragman helmet with nvgs one. i dont see any others? are those the only two?
What do you need help with because a lot of people would be willing to assist in the LFG channels. You can request one officially by logging into your account IIRC.
There’s a bunch of prebuilt weapons and good ammo
You just need to contact support, responses may take a while tho good luck
when yall spawn in on woods do yall wait a little while before moving or do yall just go i just got killed a minute thirty into raid i was there to do those jaegar wuests where you gotta kill scavs
I always move immediately
People will push your spawn
oh okay i was asking because i just got sniped 1 minute into raid lol didnt last long at all
Where were u at
how the heck diggity do people survive as solo scavs?
be sneaky
so stealth is actually viable?
well idk
My dumbass, last raid I went into, ran into three enemies and lit em up and died before remembering I was a scav, and they were also scavs lmfao
as solo scav i never really go for fights so i just survive more often naturally
you just fill up on loot and, well, scavenge?
pretty much yeah, like occasionally i will try to fight pmcs or team up with a player scav
thats more situational though
usually when i scav i'm going in with the intent to find specific loot so i just avoid it
smart man. doesn't help the last 3 raids I did I kept running into bosses lmao
fucking killa
if its scav on pve then its just avoiding the PMCs and not getting too close to the bosses really
and like map traps and what not
yeah didn't realize that killa has a specific scream lol
and if you get your scav rep high enough you can just chill with the bosses
that's pretty cool, bet it takes a while tho?
i remember one time turning the corner and walking right into killa as a scav and i just stood still and accepted my death lol
and yeah, but there are ways to do it quickly
yeah, nuts that he can outrun us lol
any time you take a car extraction as a PMC you earn 0.25 scav rep
did you play during the zombies event
and idk it just works that way
zombies event last year was scary AFFFF
like cod waw type zombies that move quick and erratically and make horrible noises
wonder why they didn't do em this year, sad
I'd love a mode where you're in a zombie apocalypse with walking dead type zombies lol
they wanted to but they're mostly focused on actually finishing the 1.0 version, apparently we might have zombies next year though
what exactly is gonna be new with 1.0? I haven't seen anything about it, bit out of the loop
I do see clothing sets - are those already a mechanic in game? Or is that one of the things coming to 1.0
new map, story quests with 4 different endings, new AI factions, new guns, new quests, steam release, and more that hasnt been revealed
oh, that's why terminal is not available in game! goooooooootcha.
ye
damn i can't get over how cool this game is. really is nothing like it.
watch some videos on the event 
was kinda hard too many zombies aggroing u from who knows where on spawn it was hard but hilarious with friends as well
Spawned outside of the fob and was running into it and got sniped by a level 50 dude lol buddy was geared to the teeth
Hi, I just joined the server. I'm planning to buy Tarkov, but I'm worried I might have to buy it again when it comes out on Steam. Knowing what people say about BSG, I wouldn't be surprised if they forced players who already bought the beta to buy the game again on Steam at double the price. Should i buy it now or after its release on steam?
You would only have to re buy to play through steam no? At least thats what i thought
Well, that's exactly what worries me. The uncertainty of whether it will still be playable or not. I mean, I don't want to spend $50 on the Unheard Edition and then have to spend another $50 on the standard version on Steam.
I mean, ive heard tons of trash about BSG, i dont know if theyre true or not but i heard they got a reputation for being insanely greedy
If you want to paly the game on steam, you will have to purchase it on steam
If you have an existing game version higher than Standard edition, you will only need to purchase standard edition on steam, linking your BSG account to steam will verify your existing game edition and then it will sync up
Ah i see, but id be able to launch the game even if i dont have it in steam right? I mean after the release
Like, if i bought it before the 1.0 comes to steam, and i dont wanna buy it on steam again, i should be able to play it with no problem, i assume.
💯
Yes of course
the launcher version will not be affected in any way
yo, why are the difficulties constantly so high? I see hard, insane, plus what is the people icon to the right of the difficulty on each map? 10-14, etc
game hard lol
true, very much so, love it, but for some reason factory under scavs shows as easy even tho the people count says 7-8 during the first selected time, but the second selected time says less while being more difficult.
and how tf do you guys tell the difference between bears and scavs while running scav?
bear voices are like operator russians so they don't sound drunk like scavs
and bears in pve i think always have russian equipment on, so they will have like AS VALs or AKs, which i guess scavs can have AKs but much more civilian looking
roger dodger, gonna run a practice run then run scavs, if anyone wants to join lemme know
pvp or pve?
PVE, I'm a noob who doesn't like pvp lol
Holy shit dudes, I actually extracted from my first solo practice raid! Granted it was on easy, and I haven't extracted from one yet without other peeps helping me, but hey, progress is progress lmao
I'm now going into a scav run with some confidence
Clothing, gear, and voice lines
Hell yeah man <3 not too long until you’re running and gunning your way through labs
does run through count for marathon
You can’t run through while doing marathon
Since you don’t extract and just transit its always survived
ty
Are there like officially supported mods for this game?
I for one would really really REALLY love to see the cost of items before picking them up so I can learn what is worth picking and what is not =/
no
no but nikita said mod support for pve is planned for AFTER release at some point (we might not even get it)
@crimson auroraThat software violates the tarkov license agreement and you are at risk of being banned if you use it
Huh, odd.... I thought that it was publically used.... Ow well. Good to know. Thank you
LETS GOOO
🔥
IDK WHEN I GOT THE PEACEKEEPER LL2 BUT I GOT IT
uh
so what do i do with the old one?
discard or keep
keeping it is any usefull?
i mean its relly hefty price on pk
it also takes 4 slots tho
ive heard of some peoples containers glitching away
just gone
so you could keep it just incase
oh that expains it
i just buy m4s from him and sell on flea
a lot
50k rub profit at least
quick question, what does enhanced armor do? it doesnt say like it does with weapons
that's because what's enhanced is the plates
check the plates and you'll see the buff 🙂
ohhhh. ty ty. XD
You’ll learn naturally what items have value and what dont
pretty sure u can put them on mannequins
so u have 4 more inv slots there
What does the compass do? I were hoping you can use it to tell direction 😫
You can lol, that’s legit the only use it has
@jaunty forge Hey! Here is a channel where you can ask for good advice. This chat is generally a lot more timmy friendly than eft-chat.
lol telling direction is the onyl thing it does. very useful while learning maps.
Tbf, learning where notable landmarks are useful than the compass to some degree
this is true.
I do like using the compass in combination with notable landmarks when learning maps
Oof, when we are responding to a message hours old 
oh yea we got rid of it yea?
tough
yea it was me specifically fr. the junior mod 
I'm gonna eat you 
i also suggested we get rid of eft-chat for release but they wouldnt let that one fly
Jk, but eh, least I tasted the apple
thank you so much for helping 🙂
somewhat odd question but, i keep seeing people list this marked for for ~40m roubles (pve), but when you factor in the fee they make less profit than they would selling at like 20-30m? does something decrease the fee later on or are people just not paying attention
yea np. is what youre having trouble with completing tasks or making enough money to get by?
It's the blind greed factor
some things do decrease flea fee but likely its just greed. they dont decrease fee by much iirc
so nothing really improves it then? because ill prolly just sell now
Honestly, with wipe coming in like 10 ish days, might as well use it
Comes by quicker than you think
i have like 5 other marked and 2 of them are this same key for reserve and to be honest im tired of reserve
both to some degree. I know we're really late in wipe and i can tell by the people im dying to lol. i have a PP19 and kobra sight and im getting beamed pretty frequently whenever i move but such is life 🙂 ill just stay put for a bit on spawn
yea just use it. not much reason not to
yea taking it slow is a good way to go about being behind late in wipe
There's the saying: Fight smarter, not harder
I'd personally recommend at this stage of wipe moving away from the pp19
You can even kill a high leveled player armed to the teeth with just a SKS with SP rounds
my main reason to sell it is to make quick roubles so i can buy a thicc item case to have room to farm the rest of my keys lol
since most people are running high class stuff, it might be better to go for a single well placed mosin shot
yea or an sks like this
ok let me try that out 🙂
Actually, are you able to farm the keys in 10 days?
fair enough this works too
whats yalls fave go-to mosin or sks build at level 1
i think i probably could but im kinda new so i dont wanna push my luck farming too much
i only picked the game up like 1 or 2 weeks ago but ive gotten 7 marked keys so far so pretty good luck i think
yea for sure. 9x19 has a tendency to not work late wipe unless youre running the best ammo 100% of the time in the best guns. it just cant go through armors. And you don't have access to rip and the really high flesh damage ammos
For the mosin I don’t believe you can mod it like at all
Just have fun and try to use the stuff you built up to try stuff before wipe hits
Not much anyway
Otherwise op-sks with preferred sight :p
yea thats my plan but ive been hitting my stash limit fairly often so i just thought a thicc items would be nice
what is op-sks sight you guyhs would recommend
lol if you can, grab a sniper mosin with a pu scope. larp a little lmao
at your level, a cobra is your real only option i think
are you level 10 yet?
Kobra dovetail sight
There’s also a pso if you want something ranged
Otherwise, you'd have to get used to the ironsights
Tbf, the ironsights ain't that bad
At 1 point during a task, you will have to eliminate targets really far with just ironsights
both mosin and sks iron sights are sorta famously good
wish me luck boys im going PSO + op/sks
i will make you all proud and survive 5 min at least
Good luck homie <3
hey that works. good luck.
What region are you?
wanna run 1 or 2 raids together?
HP or SP, and yes id be down 🙂
7.62 SP rounds suffice
Skier
lf1 2 or 3. just tryna learn the game some more
sobbing i figured out my bad performance. all my windows settings got corrupted
love windows
How though?
you need to somewhat know the map for it to be useful, you use the compass to get your bearings like on woods you always see the big ass rock but you would need the compass if you were new to know what side of woods youre on and which direction to go
if you can find a landmark from the map, you can use the compass to direct you to other landmarks and it helps learn pathing between hotspots on maps you dont know
I were asking how to use it? As in - How do you look at it?
have to put it into your SEC slot to the right of your pockets, maybe have to bind a number to it
besides that i dont think you have to do anything to get view of i
Ok... So if I have it in my special pocket... Then where do I see it?
press 6 or any other number to bind it then in game press the button you binded it to
just hover over the item and press 4-9 or 0 to bind stuff to hotbar
Thank you

Hello people, i have to do this in one sitting ?
just without dying im pretty sure
But i can quit the game? or do i have to run the game until it's done?
you should be able to quit the game and take a break for escort ye
Is there any form of quest sharing in PvE Co-op mode?
what do you mean?
Share quest objectives among team members, so we can complete them as team, not as separate players.
no
Shame
I wish the was a thing
Is it really worth buying a more expensive edition? Or is the standard one enough? I understand they give you more stuff at the start, but they also give you two things that are the most important to me: a bigger stash and a better pouch container. I've heard the 2x2 one is a pain in the ass because nothing fits, like the survival kit. Is it possible to get a better container in the game? Or are you stuck with the one from your edition forever?
you can get multiple other containers by playing the game
There are 4 more you can get without paying more money
Beta, epsilon, theta, kappa
Theta container requires playing Arena though but you can breeze through it using the 3 day trial you get by doing Ref's quests
@fierce breachi say yes but that be up too you
Thanks, ive heard a lot of streamers say stuff like "if you buy the standard edition the games gonna be 3 times harder for a beginner.
Something regarding the stash and some stuff being user friendly or not
having a bigger stash is definitely an advantage for newcomers since when you're new you don't quite know what items are good to keep vs what you can just sell without losing any potential progress
the more you learn about what items you need and when, the less you need to hoard stuff in your stash if that makes sense, since you know what is important to keep and sell given your current quest or hideout progression
the stash is something you can upgrade in the hideout by just playing the game anyways too, just like the secured containers
Standard is enough for now. U can always upgrade later
I would suggest to wait for the steam release too
Yeah i was thinking about waiting for the steam release, but im being told the standard version will go up from 20 to 50 dollars, im not sure if its true though
standard is already 50
Oh well in my region its 20 dollars, sorry for not saying that
Latinamerica region
ohhh
steam has latam regional pricing for games right?
Not in my economic unstable country 
Its in dollars
So i could save 30 dollars and buy it before the release, in theory
Problem is: Game is not for everyone. Its tough and you have to learn from constant failures and deaths.
Steam version gives you the ability to give the game back if you don´t like it
If you just played couple hours
I understand, and i know its not for everyone, but i always felt attracted to tarkov, i tried playing arena breakout but it seemed to much... "arcade" if that makes sense. But since like 3 or 4 years ago ive wanted to play it, i really like detailed games like this one

Ahhhhh
I can link you a good guide on youtube if you like
Yes please
No
after you choose a map, you can activate practice mode
you don´t loose anything and don´t gain anything. except knowledge
Choose Ground zero, grab a map from tarkov wiki, explore and train how to fight scavs
can i transfer to "The Labyrinth" from Shorline in the offline modus?
i can confirm that you HAVE to do it without closing the game x)
for bunker p2 do i need to get all the doors and live in the same raid? or is it like bp depot where i can get 1 door, die, repeat and survive 1 raid for it to count
i havent been able to do that
since i am not 100% sure, check tarkov wiki real quick
just google tarkov wiki bunker 2
what do i do if the end screen wont load
just did a scav run and it won't load up the end screen where you transfer items to your stash
if i quit and reload will my items still be there?
omg i missed it
im sry i checked it before and didnt see that thats why i asked
looking for some help im an ok player can get kills but dont really now where all extracts are
Look at maps on official wiki
yes if you loot stuff and you extract , in the meanwhile you got a blackscreen which lead you to the screen that let you put the loot in the inventory, if during this process you get disconnected or your tarkov game crashes and put you on desktop, by restarting the game you will get to the screen which you be able to collect the looted stuff from scav character and put in inventory
help, I'm getting error 228 when I try to do anything in my hideout. I fixed it. Did another raid and it works now.
Guys, my friend just bought the game and every time he tries tto start the luncher start "reparing" the files and restartm does someone knows how to solve it?
@vivid hawkhey him go to the launcher of the game. settings integrity check after that have him do clear cache. see if that worked
@fervent mica didint work, any other tips?
@vivid hawkhmm have him check if his drivers are up to date.if not have him update them and then restart the pc and the game
@fervent mica didint work either 😭
you literally need to google them and remember, and use offline practice mode
what level does flea market unlock
10 for now
@vivid hawk so sorry to hear

stuttering probably related to 16 gb ram

i can try and help more tomorrow if that doenst help at all but im really tired so im going to bed
thank you for the help
Newb here, did 2 raids so far, how do you tell bear from usec pmc so you dont end up killing a same faction? Same faction kills hurt karma right?
no, killing players of the same faction doesnt affect your pmc karma, your pmc karma only gets lowered by camping in bushes, killing teammates, or disconnecting from a match prematurely
had a typo but i fixed it*
Gotcha. So is same faction kills considered bm in the community or is it fair game?
Dont wanna start off by pissing people off
nah that's totally fair game, atleast in the current version of the game
lore wise yeah, bear are supposed to be friendly to bear and same with usec to a degree, atleast earlier on in the whole tarkov conflict, i imagine over time those boundaries start to break down and everyone works together randomly, kinda how it was in the Raid series / chronicles of ryzhy
and yeah pretty much
it's still apart of the game to scav on scav violence so noone can really get too mad at you if you really want to do it, but it will lower your scav karma in turn and make playing as a scav generally harder
hell last time i was a player scav some other random scav blew me away without saying anything lol
Nah i dont want to, wanted to make sure i respect the community and also dont want negative scav karma
it makes for much more fun gameplay
In my first raid i shot the first player i saw as a scav and afterwards realized it was a scav and went ah shit
i mean its totally understandable, its really hard to tell who is who when you start playing for the first time
over time it will become more natural as you tell the clothing and gear apart and what not
Cool cool. Thanks!
no problem, good luck in raids! :D

Does Water collector simply create water out of thin air?
im guessing its either got piped connected to the water pipes of the building the hideout is in, or something to do with water catching
and the collecter itself is like a filter maybe
I meant mechanically.... I don't need any items for it to happen?
"No it does need items"? Or "No it doesn't need items input" ?
no input
Thanks
I will help you learn the game if you’re new. I’m at 4.5k hours and will draw on maps and stuff.
I live NA East
@quiet bluff you looking for a team? you in vc
yeah i am
what you up to?
running ground zero atm
questing?
i was
oh right. ill be with you soon
been playing alot of pve recently, looking to get into the pvp side
Hey guys. Im completeley new to the game. I'm a bit confused on which edition to buy. To get into the game, i wanted to start with the "PvE" version only but i cant figure out which one of the four is the right? And in addition to that, is one of the versionsboth: "classic tarkov" and the "PvE"?? Really appreciate your help I'm lost. Region Europe, Germany if that matters...
Thanks in advance
Hi, PvE is only an add-on (an expansion, if you will) to the game. To be able to play the game at all, you need one of the 4 editions
you can buy any edition and upgrade later but pve is an expansion (DLC to the main game)
if you have never played tarkov, I would suggest you to buy the Standard edition first, as it's the cheapest. If you later find you would like the perks of one of the more expensive editions, you can upgrade any time and only pay the price difference
holy cow. the riddle is solved. That makes so much sense now.
do what this guy said and if you purely want pve then buy the expansion
Thank you guys. wish you a wonderful weekend
thats the pve expansion
no problem, have fun mate and good luck out there
chatgpt told me i need to buy the 250 bucks unheard edition ffs 😄
have fun playing if you do purchase and if u ever wanna play with someone im always down so shoot a dm over
yeaaaaaaaah, AI
AI is retarted dude it isnt even real AI lol
Its just smt called an LLM its more of a probability machine lol
yo i just redownloaded eft i havnt played since like 2021 anyone wanna run it i keep getting smoked on ground zero
is there a fix for the bug where you get stuck in the coversation with the BTR-Driver on Woods
PVP only right?
yes
I have learned customs shoreline ground zero and woods any reccomendations for the next one to tackle before wipe?
Reserve or Labs maybe
thanks
Maybe give factory a go, tough a bit of a PVP brawl it's the smallest map in game so should be easy enough to figure out.
True ^^
factory and reserve it is, hit labs the other day for a while and got fucking brutalized
I just got the game, got in a few raids instantly to test how everything goes (fps and stuff) and theres any maps i should learn first? Like: ground zero because of the first quest? or maybe factory because is smaller and easier to learn? Etc
Wanna do tigr safari quest but hella afraid of customs. First time I got killed by Reshala just going menace on me and the second time I got killed in my full kit at night by some cultist who ate 2 mags of 7.62x39
We can go to vc later and talk, I am new too, but have some expirience. If you wanna
still need? send a dm
i need one to help me
learn ground zero, customs and woods
after that the rest
probably shoreline > reserve > labs > lighthouse
oh and streets for ur scav runs
How many scavs/pmcs in PVE mode usually spawn in a map on average? Lets say a map like Customs?
And second, unrelated question, what do I do with Dogtags? 🤔
I need one person to help me with learning tarkov 🙂
are u fresh?
played 4 raids
any prior knowledge about the game like items or the meds at least?
i can help if u want im down to run a few raids
^
Ground Zero -> Customs -> Woods/Factory imo.
anyone got any good videos for gun loadouts for when you hit Lvl 15 and can unlock the flea, also any for below Lvl 15?
Still need help learning the game??
Any new players wanting some help learning the game? I play PvE mode and can help y'all
guys, im new and i got too much loot, anyone more experienced tryna hop in a VC and tell me what to keep and sell? ill share screen
check wiki and see if ure gonna need the item in close future or not and sell based on that
gotcha thank you
I will if you want just ping me
Itll be faster, Im not super experienced as I started about 2 weeks ago but I've got a pretty good general consensus on what to sell or keep and to whome as I've had a great coach. And taking into consideration it's so close to wipe if it's worth holding or if you should sell and buy kits instead at your lvl 1 traders to get some low tier PvP and PvE experience in before wipe
wanna vc rn, give me a quick rundown before wipe?
U gonna make me ink bruh stahp 😂
lmao
Im blushing 
Anybody knows?
Or what to do with dogtags?
dogtags are used for quests and barters
and if you put a dogtag of the opposing faction in your hall of fame you get better physical skill or combat skill gain i don't quite remember
afaik like 80% of the max or so
from what ik its literally just the higher level the better
How do u lvl scav rep fast?
take car extract as PMC
0.25 scav rep per time, with diminishing returns if you use the car extract on the same map multiple times- so just switch map after every time you do it and you will get full 0.25 rep each time
What is max?
each map is different
Average?
yeah bro just read it on the map
whenever u choose a map to raid into you look at the right side and u see a number
for labs max is 10
factory day is 5 and night is 6 i think
smth like that
idk em for the rest of them
This can't be right >> I've had like over 15 dead bodies around me at one point on customs >>
PMCs?
yeah for some reason they keep spawning in sometimes
although lorewise it does make sense cus we're supposed to get infils on 1.0
infils?
yeah basically scaving in as a pmc
in theory the way they'd do it is they'd make the exfil time longer and make you be able to infil or so
that doesnt make sense unless they remove game timer
.
hi,
can i ask for tech help here?
whats up
how does the pve work and is it worth doing at all? like do ur items transfer over to pvp (doubt) or experience/skills etc
no its separate arena is linked th
i have a ryzen 7 5700x3d and a 3060, the gpu should the the bottleneck right?
does not feel like it tho, even using super sampling has low impact on fps, the gpu wont go pass 60% use
tho
okay, is it just rubles for arena or skills too
skills exp rubles gp coins lega medals
but i cant crank lod quality past 2.5 or i lose a ton of fps..
maybe its the RAM fault? do u know if lod quality has high impact on ram?
and i get bad fps when zooming on all maps.. does this has high impact on ram as well?
okay thank you
i hadnt done my pocket watch yet and i had 20 endurance lvls on my skills after some arena matches
nothing you do in pve transfers to arena, but you can transfer all of that from arena to pve
it's just one-way
looking for a sherpa. i have 297h played. but i am a noob, i basically was always carried by friends. but really trying to get an understanding of how to play. i understand healing, i know customs well, factory, interchange, and reserve a good bit. I have a quality mic, can vc.
hi everyone, me and my friends keep getting connection timeouts despite restarting games and pc and router and all and its really annoying because each time its someone
I always get stuck in the covo with the BTR-Driver and after I forfully exit the BTR my guns dont work
is there any fix to this bug
Is there a spot in server that are like beginner notes? Instead of asking “favorite scopes or lvl 0 traders guns suggestions”
BTR has been buggy for the past couple weeks. AFAIK not fixable in raid.
so there is nothing i can do
cant do helping hand or shipping day
can anyone check if my email to support is good for account recovery
idk if i did it correctly
can somebody help get into railway on woods
Good day to ya gamers, I'm Nevik one of your official Sherpas. Over the years I have acquired nearly 9,000 hours and have been teaching for the better part of that. I have helped many new and experienced players in their journeys. I can assist in NA, EU, and SA regions. Mostly focused on PVP raids although I'm not partial to helping in PVE. If you're looking to run or just have questions please do not hesitate to reach out to me via DM. Happy hunting! >:]
hallo everyone, any teachers for a beginner struggling player, if possible you could dm me :p
hey there. are you still looking?
already got some fellas who are willing to help, tho ill keep y'all posted 😄
anyone wanna run some raids
day 12 now of no response from support team
I need help with a quest pls dm
can you still throw grenades from inside out of the bulletproof windows in the bottom left room on 2nd floor in labs
the one where you activate the door with a button
looking for help memorizing maps for next wipe
will there be new anti cheat for steam release?
can someone help me with getting the "one last ride" achievment? i need some help with tasks
one last ride is no longer available to obtain
since the hardcore wipe ended
damn
could have seen that coming it just didnt say it on wiki that you cant get it anymore mb
but still i need some help with tasks im ass at pvp and i lowkey need help
called res unit and no
i think i was technically exploiting when it was possible, but they patched it so it doesnt matter anyways
Anyone around to show a new player the ropes?
Im new if anyone wants a nooby dou just add me n dm me. I played like 100hrs of pve so im not totally in the dark. 3k hrs in rust so we can trade knowledge
im new to this game from arc raiders, whats a good cheap loadout i can use to get in and learn the game
almost anything 5.45 is good to start. decently cheap and can find rounds everywhere.
im new and need help if anyone can help
anyone able to jump on with me and reteach me some things? coming back from a 2 year hiatus and wanna get back into making some bank on PVE
anyone wanna help a dude coming back to the game after a long hiatus?
im new but id be down to struggle together 😂
i like to run the aks74u as a cheap gun, decent firepower when starting out
What about gear ammo and meds
I just need a cheap kit to put together to I can learn without losing a lot
best armor u can get is usually a paca early on, which doesnt do much but better than nothing early wipe since everyone has bad gear anyways, then ure gonna wanna get any rig u like, preferably cheap but with enough slots for 2-3 mags and some meds, grab an esmarch or two to stop heavy bleeds and then a medkit, whichever u have available currently.
and always wear headphones, i like the m32 from skier early on
this is all advice based on early wipe tho, currently its 5 days left of the wipe so every is gonna be kitted so theres no point in wasting money on a paca armor for example
i also dont know if u have access to flea rn, if u do that changes a lot and u can just buy a lot of shit that isnt usually available to you for a fair price
I’ve played one raid as scav so I don’t think I do
Kora kulon after search mission is p good. Can actually stop some rounds, especially early on
@fervent mica might help, he always searches for pve folks
Do you know how to activate practice mode?
GGSH headset and ratnik helmet from Prapor, PACA body armour, bank robber rig and balaclava (naked faces stick out) from ragman.
AKS-74u from Prapor loaded with PS < PP < BT < BP < BS, good 545 ammo is common. The UN and UB come with a dovetail on the side to attach optics, otherwise get the railed pilgrim dust cover and B 11 handguard from Skier for some light modding.
The Kobra on Prapor or jaeger is the best sight available to you
Alternatively: Kedr + RG 028 ammo, aim for legs.
Wipe hits in five days so Pvp means going up against the best equipment in game, try #pvp-lfg to team up.
Use your scav to learn, if you're just running a "cheap loadout" every raid and dying with it it'll rack up pretty quick.
Currently, Sherpa tickets are down for probably the next month and a half, but you can still join SherpaHub or a community server like TU or SOG and ask for help in any of those servers. It'll streamline the process of learning and give you a good leg to stand on, I recommend it for sure.

Suggestions for a lvl 0 traders sight for the adar? I use ROMEO7 and MRS but those have limited range and kinda bulky
would you bring a secondary weapon with more range?
I wouldn’t be apposed. I just usually grab ADAR bc it’s cheap and does well for a “rat” run
then VPO Gornostay with this 4 x scope is a way
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/VOMZ_Pilad_4x32_25.4mm_riflescope
I need Fake Mustache and Smoke Balaclava for kappa does any1 know if its spawns on ai pmc because I dont think they're spawning on scavs right now due to Halloween masks
Kobra from Jaeger is likely your best bet, peeks over the front irons and is a pretty decent 1x.
Put the shade on and you get extra ergo even for less than 200 roubles.
MRS is dog, try using the P1 cus it already comes with a riser
It sways around like crazy + it's blurry as shit
It looks aesthetically pleasing but using it is NOT your best bet
I think that’s what the hate is from, it being just decent whereas there’s better options at the same level
If the dot didn't bounce as much it'd be a top five imo but it's barely usable now
