[solid lion]

nobody told him to sell all his stuff

[scarlet marten]

i wanted to build cool weapon

and try it

[timid flower]

Just reset for 1.0 why isnt it auto searching stuff or was that a skill i get later

also when i double click it doesn't loot an item

[native seal]

hold ctrl and then click that item for a quick loot

or alt i forgot

[undone drum]

if its a rig, middle mouse on the rig itself, not the space

[undone drum]

double click is like right click use for meds or food

[patent stone]

hai can you confirm, after the tutorial you geth 2 mill and gpu ?

[timid flower]

I will when i can find kilmov street xfil

[patent stone]

for tutorial just follow the green light, it will take you to the exvil

[scarlet marten]

how much it take to get resosne from tarkov support?

[undone drum]

@crystal oracle

[timid flower]

[patent stone]

gpu only ?

[timid flower]

ledx

[patent stone]

can you sent screenshot of it ?

[crystal oracle]

Yeah I did recommend not to at first

Its just not worth it

[patent stone]

aight thank you only the gpu and ledex but not the 2 mill

[jovial epoch]

What is a ledx and do i sell it? i just started

[patent stone]

[crystal oracle]

NO

KEEP IT

It’s really hard to find lmao

[timid flower]

Anything im missing for my first raid?

[tough nest]

Id put some roubles in your secure container

[tender relic]

Looks good however I personally put my heals in case

[tender relic]

Good call I usually keep 20k

[timid flower]

Thanks 🙂

[tough nest]

I tend to keep abt 100k just incase I need to do it for a whole group

[tender relic]

I don’t run with 5 man it’s to much chaos typically

[timid flower]

Feels so weird talking to rag man face to face

less handsome in person

[tough nest]

5 man's are fun, especially when we get locked in a room with tagilla as happend today lmao

We all received various sledgehammer related injuries

[scarlet panther]

Use the intercom to contact the port garrison - why is it saying I dont have the right equipment when I got there and cant interact with it

[pearl copper]

the button above that thing you were trying to interact with

[scarlet panther]

I got to the tower and it says i dont have the right equipment, i will try again, tahnks

[pearl copper]

there are 2 things, one is a thing that require an equipment. The intercom is right above that

[quaint sedge]

[dawn fractal]

[haughty haven]

Is the port terminal in shoreline an extraction or what?

[oblique fractal]

anyone willing to give me a refresher coursE?

[haughty haven]

Oop, nvm, found it-

[mighty fog]

I played scav and I had 2 exfils on woods I never heard of "Emercon Checkpoint" and "Old Railway"

[undone drum]

because they aren´t woods exfils

[haughty haven]

Where the heck is the intercom? Apparently i marked off finding a way to contact but i dunno where the heck im going

[undone drum]

[mighty fog]

I ermm.. yeahh so I forgot I spawned on interchange.

[haughty haven]

👍

[orchid dagger]

why does when using weapon modding/preset it say these items are locked but when i search for them on the fleamarket individually they come up and i can buy them? i am level 21

[haughty haven]

Bro i was literally RIGHT THERE

Omfg

I must've passed it like 10 times searching the area, im a dumbass 😭

[compact wind]

at the top, you have it set to traders. if you click the x next to it, it pulls up the flea market

[brisk quiver]

https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/1440161058781139038 come ask any game question!

[orchid dagger]

yea i know, i can buy those items from traders

[pale turtle]

how do

[undone drum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4-Incfs6YU

[patent wadi]

Follow the story, at some point prapor ask you for 5 dogtag, it unlocks reserve and giving 20k usd to mechanic unlocks lighthouse

[pale turtle]

whats the best way to make 20k usd quick

[orchid dagger]

buy it from peacekeeper

[undone drum]

sell stuff to peacekeeper

[pearl copper]

[tulip ivy]

what is the reward for giving therapist 250k?

[brisk quiver]

Forced

[unreal summit]

You unlock streets of tarkov

[tulip ivy]

im guessing to unlock the rest of the traders I have to do the extract from interchange part?

[unreal summit]

Yeah you unlock them by doing the story missions. I think interchange unlocks skier

[brisk quiver]

I can guide you if you need... Can't join but can watch a stream

[tulip ivy]

i know the game pretty well.. just not the new story stuff that dropped with 1.0 haha

[old lion]

ragman wants me to go somewhere on interchange after first time talking to him he said it was a scav camp I went to the scav camp by the tracks and when I returned he is saying I lied

[thorny cliff]

im trying to do the very start of the story, do i need to extract on interchange before i can talk to them?

[brisk quiver]

Spend more time in raid

[old lion]

if you want to talk to them go to the traders menu and click their name up top hit visit

[thorny cliff]

oh ok

thanks

[old lion]

okay thank you ill just go there and wait it out til the end

no prob!

[orchid dagger]

is anyone getting an error opening eft? "unable to reconnect to game"?

[dire lake]

Are u all playing PvE as new players?

[brisk quiver]

2k hrs

[dire lake]

U only play tarkov pve?

[mortal relic]

heyy is there anyone who can help me with the eft launcher and with the game stopping with downloading the whole time it gives me an error and idk what to do

[undone drum]

#community-support message

[dire lake]

?

[tired roost]

new players cant buy cheap pistols? i bought some VP)-209 guns but cant buy the 366TKM ammo to use them?

[thorny cliff]

how much does a sj6 cost?

[undone drum]

right click on VPO, linked search - top left: ammo

[wraith pasture]

is there a way to fix my fullscreen it crashes when i tab out or if i try to change to borderless

[tired roost]

i found 6 ammo lol. most are locked untill level 15? i clicked through more tabs 10 times

[undone drum]

thats how it works yeah, you progress and get access to better stuff

[tired roost]

yea i cant even buy guns and ammos to use to progress. guess i actually get to play 3-4 minutes at a time every 40 minutes? and i need to grind 15 levels like that?

my average time in game is like 2 or 3 minutes i just spawn by players or get 1 shot from nowhere

10 minute wait and 30 minute reset to que

[undone drum]

its not the better guns or ammo, that will let you survive raids

you will die the same with best guns armor and ammo

[tired roost]

i have spawned in and died within 2 minutes before i even reach a lootbox 5 times tonight

[undone drum]

don´t loot when you spawn?

Spawn pvp is part of the game

[tired roost]

i just said i didnt even reach a lootbox

so obviously im not looting where i spawned if i didnt reach a lootbox

[undone drum]

you tried to reach boxes and didn´t look for other players

learn where people spawn, learn the maps and how not to run into players close to you

[tired roost]

how are you supposed to to that when you get 2 minutes of gameplay per 40 minutes of waiting

[undone drum]

why are you only playing scav?

[tired roost]

thats all i have my main character is broke and out of energy. i have some money as i said but i literally cannot buy the ammo needed for the guns the trader is selling without being level 15

and i cant get to level 15 or play without ammo

its a stupid catch 22 you see

[undone drum]

being at lvl 15 will not solve anything for you

you have to learn from your mistakes first

[tired roost]

if i was level 15 i could buy the ammo i need for the only guns that are available to use

again its obvious what im saying and you just parrot the same talking points

[swift jackal]

I cant win any checkpoint matches and complete the quest because I routinely get matched with players that are leagues under the opposition. How is any of this fair? How does the match keep going if 1 or more players leave?

[undone drum]

how much roubles do you have?

[tired roost]

i played plenty other extraction and pvp games this is broken and stupid. you guys have no advice except to tell me its the tarkov experience or that i need to learn from mistakes

[undone drum]

no, i am giving you actual advise.
Stop running into a wall, hold on and analyse what you are doing wrong

[tired roost]

im willing to grind and lose forever to "learn from my mistakes" but LISTEN TO ME. i have to wait 40 minutes per 3 minutes of gameplay

[swift jackal]

are you playing solo?

[undone drum]

if you can´t survive longer then 3 min you are still doing something wrong in those scav raids too

[tired roost]

wish i clipped all the plays from tonight then i died withint 2 or 3 minutes everytime. within 1 minute usually instantly headshot or players within sight

[undone drum]

You learned: spawn pvp is part of the game: Learn the map, learn the spawns and mind them: You can avoid them or fight them, but don´t run into them

[undone drum]

learned anything from it? how to avoid dying like that?

[undone drum]

how much roubles do you have?

[tired roost]

no i already knew this from thousands of hours in other shooters and extraction games. i ran immediately or laid down bushes and it doesnt matter. maybe im just unlucky

maybe i am an idiot noob complaining but this system is terribly broken where i cant even buy ammo for the GUNS the traders sell. and to go in with nothing requires 40 minutes of wait time for 3 minutes of gameplay where you die instantly

i have 300k roubles

[undone drum]

no one called you idiot noob. and of course you can buy ammo for guns traders sell

right click on gun, linked search

[tired roost]

im playing solo so far

[undone drum]

thats more then enough

try to learn something from every death

[tepid cypress]

wym wait 40 mins to play I havent played since like 2020 and I forgot everything about this game lmao

[tired roost]

yea im totally about that learning and improving but this game makes it impossible

[undone drum]

stop complaining, start asking questions

[tired roost]

what i mean is scav que time takes 10 minutes and then you die instantly and then you have to wait 30 minutes to que again

[tepid cypress]

is scav queue really that long wtf is there a reason

[undone drum]

Only PMCs can start a raid, scav players can only join in. Everyone wants to scav, no one wants to PMC

[tired roost]

like i said and as we see the guy with a blue name reverts to saying im just complaining and thats the tarkov experience and that i need to learn

its crap

[tepid cypress]

why not just pmc with nothing and rat

[undone drum]

Get yourself a pistol, avoid nearby Spawns, kill bunch of scavs, loot them
Boom, you are Scav with 3 min queue time

[tired roost]

i did this several times and killed people with a knife but still couldnt extract ever

[undone drum]

no, ask questions, learn.

What guns you don´t have access to ammo to?

[tired roost]

this is where you are completely wrong. i CANNOT buy a pistoal or basic gear and ammo. you need level 15 to access market.

[undone drum]

bro

[tired roost]

that is my whole point im getting at

[undone drum]

you absolutely fucking can

from traders

[tepid cypress]

have you tried being boringly slow to avoid getting attention I used to be so scared of dying it took me like 5-10 mins to extract lmao

[undone drum]

go to traders, choose a pistol, try to buy

[tired roost]

i have access to 3 traders and they do not sell pistol. they dont even sell the ammo needed for use with the guns they sell. hence my problem

this game is broken dude im not an idiot

[undone drum]

what traders do you have access to?

[tired roost]

i have therapist, skier, ragman

skier only one with weapons.

[dire lake]

How to select a item and bind it? So I can quick use

[undone drum]

show stash

[tired roost]

just assume im broke and stash is empty. whats the difference. most new players will be before hitting level 15 or unlocking trader stuff

i have a few gear sets but it lost just as easily if i spawned in as a scav

stop with the bs you have to learn and this is the tarkov experience stuff. waiting 40 minutes per 2 or 3 minutes of gameplay as a scav is bs. traders that dont sell pistols or other basic gear, or even the ammo for the weapons they do actually sell, is also BS

[undone drum]

right click on this weapon, linked search

It says Skier

[tepid cypress]

isnt there an in game market from players you can buy from @wicked ingot idk if they got rid of that tho

[pliant carbon]

Are bosses guaranteed right now? I swear i cant go a single raid without running for my life from tagilla or killa

[potent elk]

are you not allowed to walk here anymore on shoreline??? I got 1 tapped by a machine gunner 14 seconds into raid

[orchid dagger]

no you are not allowed anymore

[potent elk]

wtf how do you extract then

[tepid cypress]

ohhh thast what you mean when you say you cant buy

[potent elk]

is railway bridge extract just gone

[undone drum]

its a different weapon bro

[orchid dagger]

they probably moved it

[potent elk]

this is so BS

[orchid dagger]

road to customs works

[potent elk]

aint no way they gave the terminal guards aimbot

from that far away 😭

[undone drum]

Bro this is your screenshot @tired roost

right click on the weapon i put a red circle on

[swift jackal]

solo is harder than normal. What I do for solo is night time raids, wait 30 mins in the bush and then go out to do my thing

[tired roost]

right click on the weapon i bought and im showing. theres no ammo available for it

thats the weapon i referenced

[tepid cypress]

does the game still have performance issues im downloading it rn so I havent been able to see

[undone drum]

you
bought
the wrong
weapon
bro

[orchid dagger]

does anyone know why i cant buy these items when using the buy all button? it says "locked", but when i use the "filter" button on the context menu it allows me to buy it, from the trader? i am level 21 and have flea unlocked. This issue is making it very annoying to make guns

https://streamable.com/i1dcmr

[vital pelican]

I have a question. I'm not new but i'd like some advise as it's been a while since i last played
I'm aproaching lvl 15 (12 and a half rn) got 2m rubbles but my stash space is getting real whack

Do you recommend i sell all gear i'm not planing on using soon? mainly the starting gear

[tired roost]

i bought a weapon
that
the trader doesnt sell ammo for
and i cant buy on the market
which are the majority of weapon
fuking hell

[undone drum]

you bought a weapon i see

[tired roost]

wait 30 minutes for spawn. 10 minutes at least in que. then 30 in the bush?

do you really?

[swift jackal]

30mins at start of match and find a hiding spot

wait for most pvp to clear out

then go in

[undone drum]

stop venting, start reading advice people give you

you can buy a weapon and bullets

[tired roost]

you said ask question holy crap man i just asked a question

[swift jackal]

this is normal too - in the beginnning you are supposed to be more like a scav than a PMC. As you level up and unlock flea market the whole game will open up to you

[tired roost]

i dont care if people are toxic but in this game people just CANT understand and tell you bs

[undone drum]

You learned, u can buy a weapon and bullets to it.
You learned, you should mind nearby spawns
What map do you intent to play next as PMC?

[swift jackal]

The game is very complex and has a steep learning curve. I remember having the same attitude as you since ive got 20+ years of counter strike exprience. However, over the wipes I realized what I was doing wrong (being too aggressive), and then started doing what was right (being sneaky), and now I can take on most 1v1s

[edgy schooner]

I just got out of a raid and I have no $$. Just restarted my game and verified game files and I still have no $$. Anyone know what's up with that and how to fix?

[dire lake]

Bump

[swift jackal]

When you start getting REALLY good and sweaty, then you can start acting like 2lew or some of those streamers. Right now, this is your first wipe. You don't know anything. Take a moment to try to learn the maps, learn scav runs, learn the ammo, etc

[tired roost]

idk the maps what do you think is the easiest one?

[undone drum]

like bandage?

[swift jackal]

hover over the item with your mouse and press a number key

[dire lake]

Yeah heals wtv I can use

[tired roost]

thanks for good avice

[dire lake]

Doesn’t work

[swift jackal]

your first map to learn should be customs

[swift jackal]

it needs to be in quick access - aka your belt, or rig, not your backpack

[undone drum]

Check out where the quest leads you. you are 1-2 raids away from unlocking more traders
Navigate to - Character - tasks

[tepid cypress]

does anyone have a link to a good online map for the different maps I don't remember shit since the last time I played this

[undone drum]

Send screenshot

[tired roost]

i will stick out and keep trying and thanks for trying to explain to me. i am angry and hostile. i just wish you would agree on of the good points im brining up. like why cant a new player buy a simple pistol and ammo from the trader?? thats crazy. que and wait times for scav are crazy...

[dire jacinth]

why does it take 10+ minutes to get into a scav

[edgy schooner]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Special:AllMaps

[tepid cypress]

preciate it

[swift jackal]

easiest map is factory because it is so small. My recommendation is to do offline raids to start understandng where the extracts are, where the scavs spawn, where the loot is, etc

[edgy schooner]

Depends on the map, if more ppl are looking to scav than players are running PMCs, it creates a backlog

[undone drum]

its beginner assistance here, i am trying to give you assistance. I am a player like you, i can´t change the game

[swift jackal]

no its normal - beginning of wipe you are more like a scav than a pmc. I promise you once flea market opens up everything changes and the game really begins

easiest map to scav right now is customs

fast wait times

[undone drum]

lets not stop here, lets go step by step:

check what the next quest leads you to, to what map

Send screenshot here

[tired roost]

ok cheers bro i will keep at it and maybe look for available ammo first before buying gun

[undone drum]

good call

[swift jackal]

you can also right click on the gun>linked search. It will show you what parts are available for that gun, including the ammo. It is a very powerful search function

[tight bane]

hey can i get some help?

[undone drum]

what help do you need?

[swift jackal]

just ask

[tight bane]

these story quests i am required to give therapist 2000 usd WITHOUT being able to trade usd

[tired roost]

i made assumption if gun is available then ammo would be too. that was false

[tight bane]

and i need to find a flashdrive for prapor but its on a locked map..

i am not a fan of this 1.0 shit so far

[swift jackal]

you can find flash drives in filing cabinets in any map where there are filing cabinets

[undone drum]

he legit have only 1-2 gun available to him, from one trader. He only has Skier unlocked

[tight bane]

according to the task it has to be a special flashdrive from a special vehical on shoreline

[swift jackal]

Yes this is normal. Game requires you to pickup scav guns to start in the beginning. I like to do naked runs some times. Or just take a pistol. Some of these have been my most profitable raids

[tight bane]

i do not have shoreline unlocked and i have no clue as how i can get it unlocked

[swift jackal]

ah, then you need to continue gaining levels and continue with the story line?

[tired roost]

i had same thinking just bring a cheap pistol in but thats also confushing cause i cant buy any cheap pistols lol

[tight bane]

i cant continue on the story line because its locked behind 2000 usd from therapist

i can not trade usd i do not have peacekeeper

i have to find it all in raid and i dont wanna do that

[tired roost]

ok my scav is up i will hopeully be back to complain in longer than 2 or 3 minutes

[undone drum]

what map?

[tired roost]

i went customs on recommendation

i will not however sit in bush for 30 minutes

[tight bane]

welp i guess i am fucked this wipe

[undone drum]

ground zero might be good as well or interchange

[undone drum]

can you screenshot your tasks?

and post it here?

[tight bane]

the flashdrive is on shoreline i do not have shoreline

i need 2000 usd but cant trade usd

the only reason i have 1000 is because i have unheard

i will not search for usd on customs for next 2000 hours for 1000 usd

[vital pelican]

the flash drive is next to the black suv in shoreline by the tunnel extraction. look around the ground, by the tires or by the door frames
You don't need to pay

[crimson thicket]

You don't need to hand over any USD to therapist. Relax

[undone drum]

do you have any dialog options with traders?
talk to all of them, see if they have any options

[tight bane]

i do not have usd

I DONT HAVE SHORELINE

[tight bane]

already tried that

[vital pelican]

keep doing the main quest

[crimson thicket]

You have to unlock shoreline first. That's not gatekept by anything being handed in

[vital pelican]

oh and don't worry. it gets worse

i'm currently grinding 20k usd for the next tour step to unlock lighthouse

[tight bane]

dude i just wanna play tarkov

[vital pelican]

got close to 8k by farming tagilla and killa in interchange

[tired roost]

is this an extract

[undone drum]

This is "Falling Skies"
what about "Tour" ?

[tight bane]

says i gotta do some shit on woods

[undone drum]

you know what to do

🫡

[tight bane]

i just wish i could play the game how it was before it was better

whats the point of knowing all the maps if i cant play half of em

[undone drum]

u can always play them by transitting

[tight bane]

just sounds like extra crap i should not have to do lol

[undone drum]

its a challenging game

[tired roost]

ran around for 15 minutes and couldnt figure out where i am or find extract

do you only have the 4 extract available it shows when you double tap O key

[undone drum]

yes

if you want to learn maps riskfree, you can activate practice raid after choosing a map

[undone drum]

wdym

[pseudo hound]

well
i did to great heights and im supposed to get against the conscience

but i haven’t not sure if it’s time locked but i saw the wiki doesn’t say anything abt that

[faint wigeon]

Can you get tokens from private/custom matches on Tarkov Arena? I need knife kills 🙁

[tired roost]

i tried random groups once and just guessing i got some guy across the world and i was disconnecting every 5 second. spam reconnect and dc 5 times in a row for 10 minutes

[tulip ivy]

when do you unlock mechanic?

[shy forge]

Greetings, fellow escapees, I am new to the game, finally got it running on steam.
So two questions at this time:

1. How do I hand over items for Tasks
2. When running Scav, do the AI scavs go hostile if I loot a body in line of sight? because I think that happened.

[pseudo hound]

scavs dont attack during ur scav runs but bosses do im pretty sure

if u attack a scav u get attacked by them

and if u go to the trader and go to the task it should says “turn in” next to the item ur supposed to give and u could turn it in there

[tight bane]

quit while you still can lol

[tepid cypress]

Was i supposed to not keep anything from the tutorial? I dont have the backpack or any of the stuff that was in there after I escaped

[tight bane]

i quit.

[pseudo hound]

they changed it so that u don’t keep anything but the ledx if u found it and the gun

it’s crazy but u start off with 2.5 mil

[tepid cypress]

oh alr I got the ledex tho lol at least I kept that

why did they give me a gpu too tho I didnt grab one

[pseudo hound]

free 600 k u less y going to wait till lvl 3 0 to sell

[silver hull]

do i need to do saving the mole before i get introduction?

[tight bane]

no clue man they fucked the game

[brittle thistle]

does anybody know if you can gift an upgraded version of the game?

[verbal cape]

my stash rn after 2 days feel pretty proud of myself as a noob

[silver hull]

congrats!

[pseudo hound]

that’s buns

[verbal cape]

got this

[undone drum]

pve?

[verbal cape]

didn´t you started last wipe?

wait, even 2 wipes ago?

[verbal cape]

oh yea i remember

mb havent played for months

saw a tiktok and remembered this existed

[marble turtle]

why does the game just NOT load since wipe? its never taken this long before. is there a fix for this anyone know of?

[verbal cape]

prbly server side problems

[marble turtle]

so the perpetual loading wheel is just a thing now? it used to at least give you an error message or something

[undone drum]

load like what? download?
queue?

[marble turtle]

i dont have a number or anything. just perpetual wheel

[verbal cape]

i just wait it out

[marble turtle]

how long does it usually take you on average?

[verbal cape]

5 minutes - 10

[undone drum]

how long now? minutes? hours?
how often?

[marble turtle]

holy Lord

[ashen crypt]

Anyone know what setting I have to change to fix foliage like flickering in the near distance?

[marble turtle]

been waiting for at least 10 so far.

[undone drum]

10 hours thats tough

[marble turtle]

nah minutes. lmao. no one waiting 10hrs for this shitty game. lol

[pseudo hound]

ong my crap is buggy

[undone drum]

maybe object lod quality in graphics

[umbral widget]

why is the unheard upgrade not on steam?

[warm forge]

yo can someone help me fix my game

it doesnt let me download it idk what to do ive tried everything shits getting so old I dont wana buy it on steam but i feel like i might have too

[pale turtle]

i cannot for the life of me extract from shoreline

[undone drum]

in raid rn?

[pale turtle]

no ik where im going kinda i just keep getting rolled lmfao

i killed sanitar once on my way to an extract then got shit on

[undone drum]

was tagilla close?

[pale turtle]

boss might argo you which makes them hurt you or you shot a scav

[undone drum]

you should avoid hot zones then, like places where sanitar spawns

[pale turtle]

nah i was fucking around that raid didnt even know it was him. i try and avoid places and i just die to timmy sitting in a bush

its so sad

[undone drum]

shoreline has many bushes
try to see, where people spawn so you don´t run into them

[pale turtle]

i got a lucky spawn and left through the path to lighthouse

[sudden gale]

Hi guys new to tarkov and was wondering if anyone had a good guide to beginner keybinds

[pale turtle]

now i need to get a card to go to labs and give mechanic 20k for lighthouse

[undone drum]

[daring relic]

[verbal cape]

[still salmon]

[serene fable]

how do i unlock the reserve map ? ; D

[latent atlas]

Hey guys, i have never played EFT, but i really like the concept of extraction shooters. Instead i‘ve played Arena Breakout. This is a genuin question, why should I pay 40 bucks for EFT if i can play ABI for free? I wanna know what the differences are

[verbal cape]

eft is more complex and harder while arena breakout is arcade shooter like in my opinion

[junior flume]

this game offers alot not just a month hype game its really fun and hard to beat 🙂 and when you escape with good loot its a good feeling

[verbal cape]

dopamine the game

[south tendon]

EFT is way more hardcore and complex. I played ABI after Tarkov and just found it too boring.

[latent atlas]

Yeah that was one of my concerns, ABI got boring after like 15h bc it was really repetetive. You start with like 3mil and it isn‘t really challanging to extract. Also i‘ve heard that there are some Tarkov players with over 2000h or more.

[south tendon]

There's people with like 5000 hours. I myself have 1.5k

[craggy karma]

can someone help me finish the woods story?

[twin hound]

#pvp-lfg or #pve-lfg maybe is easier to find help there

[sudden gale]

are matching times generally long waits?
i just switched from auto server to NA east coast cause the ping was low

[atomic flare]

Does the Window Jump for 114key for pharmacy quest still work?

[azure crown]

I accidentally killed a scav in the factory, now my rep with fence is at -0.19, is there any way for me recover my rep with fence

[light pagoda]

vehicle extracts, kill pmcs (that killed scavs) with scavs

[magic matrix]

what does it mean talk to ragman and therapist

do i go to interchange or streets then transfer to interchange

[tidal lagoon]

u have to visit them, go to traders and look at the new option in the top middle

[magic matrix]

oh thank you here i was loading into a raid

she just jacked 250k rubles off me 😭

[azure crown]

alright, but i play pve are there any pmc in pve?

[light pagoda]

uhh yes?

[wary timber]

ai pmcs

[azure crown]

hmm alright, and how do you distinguish a scav and a pmc when you are playing as a scav? because i kept getting jump scared by scavs and then ended up shooting them

[azure crown]

alr thx

[wary timber]

Scavs usually have bright clothes , the more you play the more you will see the diff of pmcs and scav

[light pagoda]

their clothes. most pmcs have thigh holsters

[azure crown]

fair, what if im playing maps like factory or anyother map that is very dim lighted

[azure crown]

alr thanks

[light pagoda]

voicelines

[azure crown]

alr fair thanks

[crystal oracle]

Yes

[hot dew]

Is there an "Item cheat-sheet" somewhere? I extract with full inventory but value always seems so low. Seems like im taking lower value items alot of the time.

[tidal lagoon]

not really for items that are valuable, but the actual value of msot items is on the flea market

so an item might sell for 5k to traders, but 50k on flea

[hidden seal]

damn... this game is causing brain damage to me. Just woke up.. had nightmares about havign to fit stuff in a very space depleted inventory all my night

[silver hull]

is there a way to actually see what comes out of these twitch drops other then just clearing the top of your inv?

[crimson skiff]

does Two-Factor Authentication for the account is based on ip address?
I tried to test out the auth app after setting up but I was able to login without any of them asking

[grizzled furnace]

I'm starting to feel like it's not worth it it ensure weapons, I think I've never gotten mine back :_)

[hidden seal]

it keeps a cookie

an encrypted token on your browser that the server can decript and check if it is still valid by its internal timestamp

[crimson skiff]

thank you

[minor crescent]

accidentaly shot gas canisters

though they were just solid props

they explode

[hidden seal]

how in the 9 hells anyoen knew orient themselves in woods? not a single super clear point of reference mostof time

[crystal oracle]

Unlucky aha

[crystal oracle]

I use the huge mountain as a big reference since its in the middle of the map

You can climb it aswell

But yeah woods is hard to learn as a new player

[minor crescent]

my semiauto shotgun got outgunned by an ak 12:(

i wonder why

[crystal oracle]

AK-12 is busted

[minor crescent]

my poor mp155

[crystal oracle]

mp-155 is a meh shotgun tbh

[minor crescent]

i had slugs _(

[crystal oracle]

Which slugs?

[minor crescent]

pointy ones

customx or smt

[crystal oracle]

FTX custom light?

[minor crescent]

yeah

and i had lead slugs too

[crystal oracle]

theres a website called ammo chart

shows you the pen and stuff of ammo.

alot of the slugs dont pen armor

So going for legs is best

or head ofc

[minor crescent]

i onetapped a naked guy

[crystal oracle]

Yeah it does 183 dmg so 1 hit to the head and they gone

Yeah with shotguns you gotta just aim for flesh

[minor crescent]

now i got mosin with

sp bt

[crystal oracle]

Mosin can 1 tap

pretty sure

[minor crescent]

92 damage

pen 31

[crystal oracle]

and it pens through class 4 armor

somewhat

So if you manage to headshot someone with that. they gone

even with a visor

[minor crescent]

ok

imma try

[crystal oracle]

the accuracy has always ben weird with the mosin thjo

idk what it is

But I recommend mosin infantry

[minor crescent]

WHAT DO THEY FEED THESE SCAVs

only limbs

imma fucking bleed and die

[crystal oracle]

Funny thing. In PVE im more scared of scavs than PMCs

[crystal oracle]

didnt you take meds with you?

[minor crescent]

they got insane accuracy

[minor crescent]

yes i did

all ran ou of them

[crystal oracle]

oof

Yeah scavs are insane

[minor crescent]

whatt thet doing leg meta?

[crystal oracle]

my mate got 1 tapped from 100 meters away

[crystal oracle]

Yeah they target limbs for bleeding

and also head

I hate how op they are

MP-133 scav run less go

[hidden seal]

what is needed to unlock Prapor ?

[limber dagger]

you need to complete some of the objectives in your Tour quest

[crystal oracle]

keep doing tour youll eventually get him

[analog wraith]

can someone tell me what i did wrong here?
#videos message

i shot the flare where it said "signal flare area" but still got shot

[flint silo]

You were too far away still

I always fire off my flare past the last train car and under that cross section

[analog wraith]

so why does it say "signal flare area"

bruh

[midnight ingot]

damn that looked fine to me

i think you were close enough as long as it says signal flare area, and when you shoot the flare up, that it is inside the signal flare area too

like maybee you shot it too far angled down, so it went past the signal flare area?

[midnight ingot]

also dumb question but, it was a -green- flare right?

[crystal oracle]

Yknow whjat ill take it 🤣

[crystal oracle]

Because you gotta shoot a green flare in that area

And give it a few

or move a little closer

[analog wraith]

i didnt check lol

[midnight ingot]

it's that

i see on your hotbar it says 'flare' instead of 'green'

[analog wraith]

this means ita a red right?

[midnight ingot]

i cant tell but it's not red or green

i think thats a yellow one which dont do anything

Jaeger sells green flare so you have to unlock him first before you can buy any from the traders

[dark void]

pretty sure its the white one

[analog wraith]

welp

now i know

i thought i can use any flare

[dark void]

no

[crystal oracle]

click on it

it says the color

[dark void]

most british thing i ever heard

[crystal oracle]

🤣

[analog wraith]

i already shot it bro

[dark void]

ye look up in the sky then look at the color eh?

[crystal oracle]

Yeah you probably shot the wrong one

lmao

[analog wraith]

yeah

[crystal oracle]

Now you know. every flare extract is green

[analog wraith]

so what do the other flares do

[midnight ingot]

green is for calling extract, red is airdrop

[random quail]

White is just deco

[crystal oracle]

Red calls in a airdrop

Yellow is n/a

Green is extract

[midnight ingot]

blue is mortar strike, acid green is makes scavs around you friendly to you

[hidden seal]

no, the snipers are full of prejudice about color... only green shall pass

[midnight ingot]

there might be 1 or 2 other special use ones i don't quite remember

[crystal oracle]

I think theres only red green, yellow and blue

[random quail]

Domt get me started on not looking at the right angle as there is no confirmation you did it right until you get shout

[hidden seal]

obviously we need a pink one to complete the power rangers

[crystal oracle]

Also dont look STRAIGHT UP

[random quail]

This

[crystal oracle]

Always do like a 90 degrees

[midnight ingot]

unless you have a flare pistol

[crystal oracle]

or 45

[hidden seal]

90 degrees is straight up

[analog wraith]

90 degrees from whwere bro

[hidden seal]

you mean 45

[crystal oracle]

Yeah ik lmao I realised lMAO

[analog wraith]

oh lol

[midnight ingot]

the way you did it in the video is pretty much how to do it

look up 45 degrees

[crystal oracle]

45 Degrees from when your looking straight forward

If you do it straight up. the flare goes behind you

idk why

[analog wraith]

the flare is also point shooting right?

[dark void]

anyone got a toz on their scav?

[crystal oracle]

Nope

[midnight ingot]

what do you mean

[dark void]

ye idc abt u cus ur pve either way

[crystal oracle]

:P

[midnight ingot]

like you can't aim it or anything with ADS you just fire

[dark void]

bro just look straight up at the sky and you click

[midnight ingot]

dont look straight up at the sky

[analog wraith]

for example the guns dont have a random shoot pattern, where i point it at it shoots

[crystal oracle]

Bros trying to get him killed 💀

[humble meadow]

It’s the same spawns dickhead???

[dark void]

omd you're dumb...

[midnight ingot]

ye that wouldn't affect the flare it just shoots the same way

[crystal oracle]

hes pvp iom pve lmao

[dark void]

shhhh

[hidden seal]

I decided to stay on PVE... no extraction campers make the game so much less rage inducing

[dark void]

not having any challenges in the game other than the goons makes the game so much more rage inducing

[glacial topaz]

I Bought a few pacas and resold to ragman for money spent , then when they went out of stock i went on to kiver ms, then i got an error code and "you are banned from the flea market" popped up bottom right. Now i cant access the traders whatsoever. I bought like 10 pacas whats happening?

[dark void]

its cus u probably got one of those captchas and u didnt do it/u did it wrong

[midnight ingot]

just need to wait 5-10 minutes

[dark void]

but its like max 15 min ban

[hidden seal]

depend what is challenge for you.. I like the explore and loot part of the game more than the combat itself

[glacial topaz]

i didnt get any captchas, an error saying captcha fetching failed popped up and now im locked unluck

[hidden seal]

trying to plan a route and do it right

[dark void]

yeah i like the looting and stuff too but if you can literally get any item at lvl 15 its way too easy, the PMCs are also extremely unbalanced i feel like

[hidden seal]

do not deny it needs a lot of improvement. But at least the AI is not a 13 year old that thinks they are so much amazing and expert for camping an extract and never moving their butt

[dark void]

i never really had a problem with extract campers

i have more of a problem with idiots who think camping a storyline quest is cool rather than the actual extract campers

had more of those like 2 days ago than extract campers my whole entire 3300h

[hidden seal]

yeah those as well. They do not play for their success they play to cause rage on others

[dark void]

they shoulda just made the paths and stuff around the maps randomized honestly

[hidden seal]

if i wanted only that I would have continued playing eve online, the OG psy warfare game

[dark void]

make like 5-6 versions of the quests

[crystal oracle]

Okay well Ive just been shot at by a scav as a scav when i didnt even shoot any scavs

great game lmao

[hidden seal]

they can go rogue afaik

maybe he discovered you were dating his sister and decided to take the opportunity

[crystal oracle]

ai scavs can go rogue? BARRIGHT

I aggroed tagilla when I was looting PMCs

[analog wraith]

thats how i know yall never tried camping

its addicting...

[hidden seal]

dude I camped in video games when I was 13.... Not I am 46 and I have grown up

Grown ups need to camp enough at their offices

[analog wraith]

well im a blue collar

not an office twink

jk im just baiting

[hidden seal]

blue collar sounds nice in USA, but here in south america is starvation job

[analog wraith]

blue collar in south america = farming bananas for the cia

[past abyss]

Was probably another player or you were near a scav boss they don’t give a fuck and other scavs nearby will Agro on you if they do unless your fence rep is very high like 5.0 or something

[analog wraith]

is there a strat to get high fence rep

[hidden seal]

not having a life is a strat?

[past abyss]

You get rep for a few things best ways are using vehicle and co-op extracts, you also get rep for killing pmcs and surviving scav runs but it’s not much

[hidden seal]

you just need 600 scav runs... simple

easy peasy

[past abyss]

Every time you run the same vehicle extract you get half the rep starting at .2 so if you run interchange vehicle extract twice you will only get .1

[past abyss]

🫡 🫡

Very true

[hidden seal]

wish there were more intermediarey stepping stones. Imho one of the faults of the game is.. takes too long to see any gain

on anything

[warped acorn]

yo man, remember you were helping me yesterday, I just did PMC raid first try and even looted the boss haha, I got the worst spawn on gate 1 and waited until 5min left and just bolted to gate 3

[hidden seal]

factory? factory almost made me give up the game yesterday

[coral seal]

Can someone help me do customs I'm fairly new to the game and don't know where to extract xD

[hidden seal]

I hate bottlenecks in any game

[past abyss]

I just hard focus questing and hideout early on to keep me sane

[hidden seal]

on the smaller land mass on east

[warped acorn]

ye

I did on 1st try lol

[past abyss]

Look up map genie mate will save you days of time haha

[hidden seal]

I am a peson with difficulties on orientation. So it is very hard for me to just run trouhg a map as factory . Need to stop and reoriente a lot.. and on that map ..i just die when I do it

[past abyss]

Tarkov is a punishing game that rewards you by just playing again and again same as games like gta the more you play the map will be a lot easier to understand

It is a lot more rough tho in tarkov shits built to be frustrating haha

[hidden seal]

is not simple orientation.. I have a natural problem with orientation. I get lost downtown on my city that I live in for 40 years

In wider maps.. I can stop.. look around for a far away landmark and get it where I am

but inside.. where I do not have far line of sight.. I get super lost as soon as I turn 90 degrees anywhere

[past abyss]

I’m not sure how to advise you so. One thing I will say is factory especially underground can be so confusing early on but most other maps have many big landmarks

[hidden seal]

only factory is hurting me

rest I am managing

also I prefer to play slow and cautious.. factory seems designed as an all out arena

[past abyss]

You’ll get there each gate spawn will have a number beside it too try take them into account might help you a bit from the get go

[past abyss]

It is and used to be way worse factory and labs are the pvp maps made for running and gunning and rushing from spawn to office pretty much

[hidden seal]

mmm had not realized there are markings on the spawn as well thanks

[verbal cape]

anyone willing to help me with a quest

i have to extract from interchange

[wise jackal]

same

[verbal cape]

escape from ikea as a quest

[wise jackal]

XD

what servers are you on ?

[verbal cape]

asia

[wise jackal]

ah okay, im on EU

[verbal cape]

hows the game been to a fellow noob

[wise jackal]

well, confusing i´d say

i know some stuff but not everything

[verbal cape]

same

i just running scav till i find where i have to go as pmc

[wise jackal]

yeah did the same

until the freaking interchange quest

[crystal oracle]

Nice man

Good shit

[dark void]

anyone got a toz on their scav?

[crystal oracle]

What stuff do you not know atm

[verbal cape]

interchange is like a softlock to me

[wise jackal]

loot values, gun metas, how i should manage money, healing stuff like that

have been studying the maps a bit

to get a general idea of them

[crystal oracle]

Loot values will take a while to get used to. But literally, anything you dont need for hideout or quests just sell them. If you get stuck on what items you need you can look the item up on the wiki

Gun metas, theres alot of metas but alot of them are behind guns for late game

Early on, a mosin is goated

easy 1 taps

[wise jackal]

so the starter guns are just balls ?

[crystal oracle]

Na some starter guns are good

M9A3, AK-12,

M4A1

[verbal cape]

if you dont need it now its just taking valuable space better to get money

[crystal oracle]

Yeah

[wise jackal]

would u be up to play a bit of some maps or not ?

[verbal cape]

keep 2/3 of your stash space for raid items (things you would take into a raid)

rest for storage

[wise jackal]

got it

[crystal oracle]

Im pve

[verbal cape]

i follow the S.L.S. rule when i play shoot loot and scoot

[wise jackal]

oh my bad just read it

[crystal oracle]

Also when doing a scav. Load your PMC with as much loot so you have space in your stash

[hidden seal]

just coast alongside the edges.... if you avoid the mall not hard

[crystal oracle]

stick to the edges

dont engage anyone take it slow if need be

[hidden seal]

and do not travel in the roads..

[warped acorn]

easiest way to is avoid the mall area at all costs

[next vale]

Is the difference between EFT standard and left behind noticeable?

[hidden seal]

a bit less tetris

[crystal oracle]

more stash slots and a b etyter secure containter IO think

[next vale]

it's only more stash slots. the container is still the same

[hidden seal]

container is just on the "I have too much money"edition

[next vale]

gameplay wise are the 10 extra slots noticeable though?

[hidden seal]

10 extra LINES

that is 100 extra slots

[next vale]

Lmao

Yeah that will be noticeable

[warped acorn]

line is exactly what? 2x1?

[hidden seal]

one of the tiny squared

on your big storage

[warped acorn]

vertical or horizontal?

[crystal oracle]

10 x 1

10 x 1 is 1 line

[next vale]

it's always possible to upgrade later right?

[crystal oracle]

Yes

[next vale]

amazing

[hidden seal]

a line is left to right...

[warped acorn]

oh, thanks

[hidden seal]

just wonder if you need to reset your pve to have access to it.. read it from someone that only appeared after reset

[crystal oracle]

I dont think you need to reset

that would be stupid

I think you just reload your game

[hidden seal]

well given this game history.. would that surprise you so much 😛

[crystal oracle]

Yeah tbh lmao

gotta love the cloudflare downage cant even look at my in web map lol

[hidden seal]

it is not cloudflare that is down but their internal routed access from cloudflare.... they seems to not be super super good at site management

[hidden seal]

up to the point that I will upgrade only when close to next wipe (If I get hooked and continue to play until then)

[tiny minnow]

what is the key rb-psp1 used for?

[south tendon]

I don't upgrade I just suffer with standard life

[south tendon]

One of the caged off places in the underground parking lot on reserve iirc. Google it though.

[tiny minnow]

is it worth alot on flea?

[south tendon]

I wouldn't say so.

Its got some solid loot behind it if it's the one I'm thinking about.

[tiny minnow]

[swift terrace]

Do you lose gear if you disconnect from a practice raid?

[south tendon]

No

[formal garden]

hello~ is the PvE customs map 40 minute or 35 minute? i heard the PvE maps have reduced timer

[earnest notch]

Hey guys, beginner here in pve mode with some noobs friends like me. We don't see any bosses and that surprises us in like 15 runs on customs, interchange. Does the bosses appears at higher levels than ours ? We are level 4-5

[south tendon]

Bosses don't appear at different levels. Except for ground zero where the boss only appears after lvl 20. Otherwise all the bosses just have a fairly low spawn chance.

Its like this in the normal game but I'm guessing PVE is the same

[earnest notch]

Ok, thx !

I guess we are just lucky

[crystal oracle]

Nope

[crystal oracle]

40 I think

[crystal oracle]

Currently its 75

75% boss spawn rate

[south tendon]

Is it? I haven't seen a single boss yet.

[crystal oracle]

Ive had shturman 9/10 raids

and killa 2/2 raids

tagilla has been every raid for me

[south tendon]

Oh damn

[obtuse siren]

whats scav rep

[proven citrus]

scav matching times are very high, any recommendations on where to go where it's much shorter? Unlocked Customs, Streets and Factory so far.

Running my PMC to quest, scav for money making. So factory probably isnt the right call unless you get lucky.

[crystal oracle]

I normally used to go woods as a scav alot for money

but you havent unlocked it

Uhhh. Could try customs

not alot of loot but should be better than factory for sure

factory if your lucky you can loot safe and cabinets in office. also the pcs downstairs of office a few jackets etc

[umbral widget]

i need help, does only 1 person need to use green flare for everyone to extract?

ive always played solo so idk

[crystal oracle]

I think only 1 person

But let me check

Only one person needs to fire a green flare to open a flare-based extraction for their entire group
. If you are in a group, one person should bring a flare, shoot it off in the designated area, and then everyone can use the extraction. If you are in a solo raid and need to extract using a flare, you must be the one to fire it

Yeah only 1 person needs to

[proven citrus]

just matched in less than 2 minutes for once 😅

[rose panther]

EFT how do I extract from customs safely

Like I keep getting killed and I need to extract customs for some quest

I tried rushing to the extract zones and I keep getting camped 🥲

[proven citrus]

the longer a raid takes, the fewer people are around, so take it slow.

[stable estuary]

slow play working for me

[proven citrus]

and there's your problem 😄

[rose panther]

🥲🥲

I’ll try and be patient

[crystal oracle]

Yeah play it slow and dont rush

take your time. Its not like you have 2 minutes toi extract. you have 40 so you havbe loads of time

[proven citrus]

most of the people you will run into have hundreds if not thousands of hours into EfT

They'll have it all covered

Until you have that same map knowledge, take it slow as hell

[rose panther]

Yeah true,
It just that I’m always stuck on extracting customs.

Guess I need to be patient

Long loading times ain’t helping too

[proven citrus]

highly recommend upon spawning in you find cover and hide for a bit, people will sweep your spawn to check

after 3 minutes or so its probably safe-ish to move

[grizzled furnace]

Is there a consensus on which items to insure? not sure I've ever gotten my weapon back

[rose panther]

Yeah
Maybe I’ll try and be a rat

[crystal oracle]

I did that for a biot lmao. Just extract camped

[proven citrus]

be a rat until you can be a chad 🙂

otherwise you're just target practice

[crystal oracle]

Holy shit bro. cloudflare is down completely

[rose panther]

I’ve been extract camped too much
I’m starting to become one at this point

[rose panther]

Got into a customs games, wish me luck

[crystal oracle]

good luck soldier

[proven citrus]

good luck mate!

[proven citrus]

fix being deployed... but that was over an hour ago. Im afraid it'll be for a bit longer

at least i have an excuse to play tarkov all day since i cant get shit done lol

[crystal oracle]

Apparently it was a DDOS attack

[proven citrus]

almost sure of it

kinda afraid its a hostile actor testing their attack on infrastructure or smth

[gleaming acorn]

thazs why it doesn work ?

[kindred hemlock]

can i wipe my acc w/o waiting 3 weeks? I chose the wrong faction

[tidal lagoon]

no

[delicate canyon]

Which faction

[low ocean]

Havent played since unheard and I have Edge of darkness. Is it now more worth it to grind out arena before hopping into main game?

[tidal lagoon]

doesnt matter too much tbh, USEC gets a slight advantage with Rogues not being as aggro towards them as they are towards BEARs, while BEAR gets discounts at BTR for example

[tidal lagoon]

arena gives some nice benefits towards main game, but ull need to complete a few Ref quests to access the transfer of money and other items

what i like to do is just do the dailies on arena and then spend the rest of the time on main game

[low ocean]

How long would ref quests take me?

[tidal lagoon]

depends a lot on ur skill and team

u could complete like the entire questline in 3-4 hours or it could take much longer

[low ocean]

I'll prob be solo since my friends stopped playing it some time ago. And as for skill, I haven't played since Unheard, and the only thing I could say is I was somewhat decent.

[tidal lagoon]

there are quests where u need to win 3/6 matches or place top 3 in the team and stuff like that

[low ocean]

Oh, you meant quests only in arena or main game? Cuz if its arena, I dont really mind grinding it out for a bit.

[tidal lagoon]

they are in both

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

u can check out the questline here

[low ocean]

I guess lvl 10 will be a block for me. I'll see what I can do.

[compact bear]

Anyone fancy helping me run customs as a lonely level 3 ?

[pliant carbon]

Very new player, how does the reputation work? Did the scav PMC co op and got tons of fence rep but i genuinely have no idea what it does

[tidal lagoon]

fence rep affects ur scav cooldown, and price of vehicle extracts primarily

u can read more about it here https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Scavs#Scav_karma

[proven citrus]

very, but you need to unlock ref first

[manic sable]

new key

[proven citrus]

check your mail, fence shouldve sent you a gift

[pliant carbon]

Is fence different than the rest of the traders? Like if i do quests for other traders do i also get unique rewards or does it just allow me to buy more stuff

[manic sable]

omg its tabor guy

[pliant carbon]

Lol

[tidal lagoon]

just buying more stuff on others and some tasks require a certain lvl trader

[pliant carbon]

Ah very cool

[proven citrus]

fence has a second sale tab but ive never unlocked it myself (didnt really bother with scav rep) so i cant say if its useful or not. Fence does work a bit different in that you mostly level him through playing with your scav, using vehicle extracts and co-op extracts

leveling your other traders is top priority

[pliant carbon]

And i do that by primarily doing quests and tasks yes?

[proven citrus]

personally i cant even enjoy the game until ive gotten a few of my traders to LL2

[proven citrus]

primarily no - only.

unless you have EoD/unheard i guess, you get some base rep because the game really isn't p2w guys

apart from that, tasks/quests are the only way to level traders

[warped acorn]

I just had an unlucky spawn in the woods map right next to a PMC when its like 12 mins left on the mission clock :sigh:

[proven citrus]

wouldve been a great chance to get the drop on him though

[grizzled furnace]

If you can buy an advantage with real money it's p2w imo 🙂

[ancient tartan]

It’s pay to have an easier time

You still gotta do raids lol

Like yeah I have a bigger container and start with more rep but at the end of the day u still gotta play like everyone else

[grizzled furnace]

sure, doesn't change the fact though 🙂

[odd saffron]

to unlock terminal do i have to talk to some intercom on the shoreline map?

[feral wind]

hey uh, when i try to download escape from tarkov it says failed to download distribs, idk how to fix that and plus my wif is like 200 mb/s and its going at 3 mb/s

anyone knows how to fix it?

[grizzled furnace]

try #community-support

[feral wind]

sure, ty

[coral seal]

Can someone help me do customs I'm fairly new to the game and don't know where to extract xD (message me)

[grizzled furnace]

you must've misunderstood me. "EoD/unheard/stash space/arena is p2w" I agree with you 🙂

[scarlet marten]

how much it takes for support to respond?

[proven citrus]

nvm sorry

heavily distracted when i read that

[grizzled furnace]

Its ok friend 🙂

[manic sable]

tarkov is definitely p2w

but it doesnt really matter imo

[ashen birch]

??p2w

why the bot no work here

[manic sable]

because skill issue or smt

[ashen birch]

??p2w

[ashen birch]

@manic sable the bot hates me

[manic sable]

i can tell

[ashen birch]

[warped acorn]

getting this now when trying to login

[manic sable]

error seems to indicate that the server hamster died again

let me see if it works for me

[warped acorn]

Nikita spilled bulmeni soup on the server

[young ledge]

not a new key

was in for 2 wipes already

[manic sable]

i completely missed customs and only read terminal area lmao

so its on customs?

[young ledge]

yeah inside one of the new buildings from the

expansion

[manic sable]

the loot from the key doesnt even seem that bad

might open it soon

[fathom bough]

i saw this yt vid why does he have colorfullnes and saturations on his postfx option and i dont

[manic sable]

i think they removed some options recently, im missing some too

now my postfx looks dogshit

[fathom bough]

ik everything is grey

like so disgusting

i seee well thnk you

[manic sable]

you may be able to improve it by playing around with color grading in an offline raid

[radiant spire]

Question, i own the EoD edition and if I decide to get The Unheard edition as well will I loose any benefits from owning the EoD version? Ive read mixed things on this.

[boreal flax]

played the tutorial, but i lost all almost all loot except some items like weapons, armor, rig, ledx and also got a gpu for some reason, is that a bug?

[warped acorn]

no, thats normal now

now you don't get to keep the loot from the first tutorial raid

[boreal flax]

and you just get a free gpu?

looking it up ppl are saying you get 2 mil as well? but i didnt get it

[grizzled furnace]

they removed that

[silk nest]

Hi! I started this wipe yesterday, i’ve seen that there are regular tasks, that you can accept on the tasks tab, and there are new one that can be accepted and completed once you talk to a trader, which kind of quests should i grind to level up my traders? The regular old ones, or the new ones? Or perhaps both?

[tiny orbit]

Story unlock maps and traders. Old one unlock trader levels. You got to do both

[hot dew]

My steam account didnt connect properly to my battlestate so i played on a "guest account", now it linked and reset my progress. What do i do?

[silk nest]

So there is only a few of the story ones? Once i uncluck all the maps and traders theres no more of them?

[tiny orbit]

Dont think anyone done all story yet so we dont know if it will be some nice reward

[silk nest]

Alright, thanks

[bright nebula]

need help im a good shooter need a tour guide

[iron scroll]

Hey whats up with the gun building? I have the parts I want to buy unlocked, but when i hit buy remaining parts I can not buy them in 1 go, I have to go in and click them individually, how do I fix this?

[edgy stone]

Is it just my luck or are boss spawns like 100% right now?

[ashen fox]

i like these postfx settings ngl

just be careful you don't change it while waiting for a car extract.... you'll get a weird end raid screen if you aren't exited out of the menu when the car drives away

[torpid onyx]

what is this for?

[crystal oracle]

Anyone know where to go for blue fire quest yet as in after reading the poster

[crystal oracle]

Batya quest

[hot dew]

My steam account didnt connect properly to my battlestate so i played on a "guest account", now it linked and reset my progress. What do i do?

[tardy crescent]

Nothing

Linking the account removed the steam account

[hot dew]

Steam account still exists on its own

[primal harbor]

Tried joining a match as a scav and the game crashed after sitting there for 30 minutes waiting for a match.

I’m stuck. Restarted my computer.
Now I get into the game and the start menu isn’t popping up so I can’t even access the game lol

[tardy crescent]

Not when you link the tarkov account to your steam copy

[grizzled furnace]

ugh, I'd much rather have invisible walls than border snipers, I was so close to completing a quest on lighthouse and suddenly dead

[tardy crescent]

They're seperate characters and accounts

[hot dew]

Thats what happened, but because of launchday issues my steam account is "Tarkovcitizen_ulz895" or something

[real crane]

can you buy pretty much everything on the flea market?

[hot dew]

And now it just wiped the account completely

[grand pelican]

There are limits for bullets and armor and a few other items but pretty much yes

[icy plaza]

I planned on upgrading my game version, but im curious, if i buy "prepare for escape" first and then some time later will want to upgrade to unheard, will the unheard edition cost those 63 euro less since i have prepare for escape?

[grand pelican]

So no thermals, no armor over class 5 and no bullets over 41 pen

[tardy crescent]

Yes you pay the difference in price

[icy plaza]

ok so it just subtracts straight up, thanks

[tardy crescent]

Yeah exactly that

[crystal oracle]

Yes

It will subtract from your current edition

So for me, unheard is only 60

But im never getting rid of my EOD

Its beloved ❤️

[icy plaza]

eod was below unheard iirc...?

[crystal oracle]

EOD was the original highest tier of the game

Probably the best value tier you can get

Then they took it away and slapped unheard in. Which was more pricey and just a slap in the face to EOD

[grand pelican]

Eod was 150, unheard is 250 or 200 for eod

[crystal oracle]

Yep. Unheard was literally EOD but more pricey

and slapped everything EOD had on there

[grand pelican]

And more

[crystal oracle]

• PVE. But then people were unhappy so they made a ton of changes

[icy plaza]

all i know is that you have diff gamma icon i think lmao

[crystal oracle]

Yeah. they ended up giving EOD members all the unheard stuff right?

[grand pelican]

Not really

[crystal oracle]

Well most

[grand pelican]

Just some of it

[grand pelican]

Not even most

They get so much starting stuff, including that mark of the unheard thing

[crystal oracle]

Oh yeah that mark of the unheard is BS

Its something like cultists are friendly or smth

[grand pelican]

Its not really useful

[grand pelican]

Scavs, and they're only friendly from a distance

And if you shoot them you lose fence rep

[crystal oracle]

Yeah I rememebr

But thats why I will never upgrade to unheard. Simply because EOD gives me what I need

Not paying 60 euros for some extra stuff thats not gonna really help

[grand pelican]

Yeah it all becomes useless after a week into wipe

Pretty annoying running into sr-25 with m80s constantly though

[crystal oracle]

Yeah. thats why I stuck to PVE. Its chill, dont have to worry getting head eyes by a guy with 5k hours

and just getting angry

[icy plaza]

well, sadly there is 80% boss spawn rate, so even tho its 4th day of wipe only, a lot of ppl farmed enough boss-spots to just run stuff as if wipe was month ago

[grand pelican]

95% of people dont have boss gear yet, maybe less

I've run into one pmc with any boss gear on him

Most people just run past them or don't know how to fight them with the starting gear

[crystal oracle]

Yeah

makes sense tbh

Idk why the spawn rate is so damn high tho

Like make it normal 10%

[grand pelican]

I love it

[crystal oracle]

or 15

[crystal oracle]

Mainly talking about new beginners

[grand pelican]

That's true, but they made bosses way easier this wipe

Besides shturman he's still scary

Killa is kinda stupid now, he doesnt even spray his gun he just taps

[lavish cobalt]

some1 wanna play i am a new player

[crystal oracle]

Na bro. ive gone into 6 raids on woods. Killed shturman all 6

Hes been so easy for me

[crystal oracle]

I dont play pvp unfortunately

[lavish cobalt]

whats the point of pve?

[hidden seal]

why this difference? here shows much cheaper.. MUCH

[orchid dagger]

does anyone know why i cant buy these items when using the buy all button? it says "locked", but when i use the "filter" button on the context menu it allows me to buy it, from the trader? i am level 21 and have flea unlocked. This issue is making it very annoying to make guns

https://streamable.com/i1dcmr

[crystal oracle]

Its just an easier alternative to pvp. You dont get domed 2 seconds into a raid and its alot more chill

Way easier too

[grand pelican]

Maybe I've just been unlucky, but I also don't have scopes or good armor since its early wipe

[orchid dagger]

and way more boring

[hidden seal]

having fun when you do not want to sweat

[crystal oracle]

Stuff is level locked on flea now

[crystal oracle]

Na. I find it a ton of fun

[hidden seal]

boring or fun are very personal things

[crystal oracle]

I love not running into sweaty chads with 10k hours or cheaters

[orchid dagger]

i am a high level and like i said, it lets me buy it if i use the filter option instead

[crystal oracle]

Might have changed it around or smth. Not too sure

[hidden seal]

I get zero thrill from competition
