[cerulean basin]

which floor?

but its either out the door at the end of the halway and down the outside stairs, or down the center stairwell and out the door

[real crane]

3

i know that im just scared to leave the building

[cerulean basin]

door at the end, oppisite marked room

[elfin elm]

Don't let your raid timer get too low friendo

[cerulean basin]

you can also jump off the balcony if you really wanna do something different

[vale shore]

Anybody who could help me survive interchange? Played the last time in years and just eating headshots currently

[elfin elm]

Usually breaks your legs though

[cerulean basin]

aim for the top of the fence, then hit the ground

[hoary portal]

any low levels want to group up to get some quests done? im level 7 this is my first time really playing the game

[elfin elm]

Did you die to a sniper?

[vale shore]

Nope. Both players had over 1k hours

[elfin elm]

Unfortunate, for sure

Tempo and player rotations is one of the trickier knacks to figure out, knowing where players spawn and when/where they'll usually wind up going can help you stay alive

Try #pvp-lfg

[modern oxide]

Any reason to have that fov compared to 50?

[elfin elm]

Zoom, game performance, and peripheral vision

Lower runs better and you can see things further away easier

Higher fov gives more edge of vision so it easy to spot something off to your left for instance

[real crane]

just got out with the lighter

now ive gotta go back in

[elfin elm]

At least the posting spot is quieter than dorms

[worldly tusk]

anybody willing to squad up with a newbie? im like 3 days in i think and just needing some guidance through the map honestly lol

[short bay]

froom what i understood 68 is what is 100% in other games

i used to play 59, and it was a game changer once i realized that

people usually go full wide to the max fov

[short bay]

i can guide you but cant play

[real crane]

about to try and hand stash the lighter, wish me luck

also do i need to extract after stashing it?

[short bay]

golden zippo?

[real crane]

uh huh

[short bay]

i dont think so but play like it works like that 😄

[real crane]

k

[short bay]

if you get the trailer park spawn (which is right next to it), DO NOT rush for it wait a little bit for any of the guys that are near to go away

[spark idol]

Question, I've never made it far enough, but which trader sells the mcx and .300 blk, is it peacekeepers?

[short bay]

wiki says skier

[real crane]

got it, im hoping for a spawn on that side of the map but knowing my luck ima be opposite side

called it

this is mah spawn

ima sit in the building for a while

[elder wedge]

yo whats up, my buddy took the case, "the ticket out of tarkov" away from prapor to keep for himself, but hes a genius and forgot to accept it from the system message- and now the timer has run out and he doesnt have the case. is he cooked?

[real crane]

definitly

hes gotta reset his account now (joke)

[elder wedge]

is there a solution?😂

maybe ask support or sum?

[real crane]

idk, i havent been doin the storyline atm im trying to get some lvl 2 traders

[elder wedge]

okeoke

well good luck with that!

[modern oxide]

do you mean it's tha max in other games, or the base in other games?

[short bay]

base

[tiny orbit]

Its not

68 in Tarkov is hella fisheye effect. Base in other games are not fisheye effect

And its not like every other game have the same fov

[modern oxide]

is 50 bad then?

[tiny orbit]

50 is fine. I use 59

[rapid dock]

Hey guys, if i had to prioritize, would i go for the main story quests or the classical merchants side quests ?

[tiny orbit]

Side story for unlocks. Main to get maps

[rapid dock]

thank you, short and precise

unlike my aim

[tiny orbit]

[elfin elm]

It seems really weird cus tarkov uses vertical fov instead of horizontal, you can use a lil calculator online to figure out what would be as horizontal and set it to an fov you're used to

[elfin elm]

As far as I know as well, main story doesn't really give any xp either

[modern oxide]

fair enough

[short bay]

it lowers your field of vision and for me at least, it takes it a lot longer to simply turn around while running

[lone hinge]

i killed gluckar guards but i cannot find him

coulnt find him

this the third time when all teh guards are on the map but the boss coulnt be found

[real crane]

where can i find the large tushonka

[graceful basalt]

Hey everyone, I bought the game on Steam, but I'm having trouble connecting my Steam account. I'm getting a message saying, "Your Steam account is already linked to another BSG account. Click Sign in with Steam on the Authorization form." Can you help me resolve this? My progress has been lost.

[grand pelican]

Go to goshan on interchange and check the shelves on the idea side

[night shale]

has kaban been bugged for anyone else

[south laurel]

What does this mean?

[stable wasp]

is arena good for learning combat

[abstract harness]

movement is pretty different from main game rn

if you learn the game in arena your movement isnt going to transfer over

[stable wasp]

gotchu, just wondered cause kinda suck at aiming in tarkov. wondered if there was a way to practice like in most comp games

its the movement that gets me, missing bullets i'd be hitting in any other game due to the more realistic nature

its a skill issue rather than game fault but I don't see a quick way to improve it with a busy schedule

[cerulean basin]

there is a shooting range in the hideout you can build, and you can play offline raids to practice. or PVE if you have it

[elfin elm]

If you own arena already, it's better practice than nothing cus it at least uses the same inertia and weight system

But I wouldn't approach a gun fight in arena anything like I would in tarkov

[elfin elm]

#community-support may help

[stable wasp]

I'll give that a go thank you

[stable wasp]

I don't but thank you for the advice. another quick question. what map is absolute best for loot on scavs. like just getting lots of loot

[elfin elm]

All of them, cus it's a trick question

[tepid arrow]

Every map has loot, roughly the same amount

Maybe except factory

[elfin elm]

The real question is what map is good for what kind of loot

I'd scav to a different map depending on current needs

[cerulean basin]

interchange, woods, and lighthouse are the best maps for scaving. if you dont have lighthouse unlocked yet, you can transit there via woods. go behind scav house and there is a camp sight that takes you to lighthouse

[elfin elm]

Though, atm, Interchange is pretty good

[cerulean basin]

watch a "rogue farming guide"

[elfin elm]

Shoreline, and streets are equally as good though

[cerulean basin]

shoreline you need keys and there are too many choke points i think. Streets has the same issue, its too spread out too. you can hit all of woods or lighthouse in every raid if you move quickly

[stable wasp]

I see, I guess I dont have any specific needs at the moment for types of loot. I'm not in desperate needs of tons of roubles and I'm only level 6 pmc so im not sure what loot is needed for future quests or hideout. so everything basically?

[elfin elm]

No, not since the shoreline update like 2 wipes ago

And streets has so much loot you don't have to hit the whole map

That's kinda how the map is designed

[cerulean basin]

the new area on shoreline is ok, but nothing compared to lighthouse. i can pull a mil from water treatment plant

[stable wasp]

so maybe try scavving lighthouse?

[elfin elm]

I pull the same on shore line everytime

[elfin elm]

You have to unlock the map via story tasks

[stable wasp]

is that the 20k usd one?

[elfin elm]

Ye

[stable wasp]

I had 3.5mil roubles but I lost some gear sets and then bought a lucky scav junkbox

[elfin elm]

It's not very high priority

You don't get tasks for the map for a decent bit, and as mentioned scavving on every map is good

Main thing is to know where to go on the map, and surviving

[stable wasp]

i tried scavving on customs and interchange but keep running into pmcs so I wanted to switch it up

I can't stand woods

[elfin elm]

woods is distilled tarkov knowledge kinda place

if you're not great at finding landmarks yet, it's hell

[stable wasp]

im down for streets and shoreline atm and eventually when I unlock, reserve and lighthouse

[celest flint]

anyone wanna run a duo? im pretty new to the game

[elfin elm]

once you get the knack, lots of cover and decent loot, easy to avoid pmcs

[stable wasp]

this is what im working with atm

[elfin elm]

did you get the free codes?

[stable wasp]

yeh I redeemed them and then had a couple decent raids

I killed 15 scavs on one but didnt have enough space

the 370-380 hours were in 2020

[elfin elm]

remember to exploit rig space

[stable wasp]

basically forgotten everything

[elfin elm]

yeah, learning maps and pmc rotations is probably your next step

gotta bump that survival rate up

[stable wasp]

I'll definitely try, most of my deaths have been for pmcing with just a pistol into ground zero

the quests were awful til i tried night raid

[cerulean basin]

get off Ground Zero as soon as possible, its a cancer map

[stable wasp]

you mentioned shoreline, I do like the layout of the map, I've been using the water side as a reference point for where I am

[cerulean basin]

even on woods there are powerlines and stuff to help navigate, each of the maps have pretty decent landmarks. a compass is helpful early on. you need a little over 4mil I think the USD to mechanic to get lighthouse. then you can scav on lighthouse for really good PMC gear

[stable wasp]

sounds good to me, i got my woods kills by sneaking up behind a rat with a toz and took him for his sniper kit

[elfin elm]

woods has a lake at the bottom, and a river at the top

the tricky parts are recognizing when you're on the side edges, cus those are essentially invisible barriers enforced by invisible omnipotent snipers

[tulip shell]

will they ever fix dlss with the scopes?

[crystal oracle]

Yes

[crystal oracle]

These guys are covered in invisible ink😂

[stable wasp]

any vids you can recommend for shoreline?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw-627NiSyo i saw this one

[elfin elm]

the youtube channel "pestily" kinda documents everything

[median nexus]

why does it say failed to initialise

[elfin elm]

repair files on the launcher settings may help

[crystal oracle]

Pestily is a huge help with stuff. Hes also doing a raid series

Its like a newbie guide

[primal chasm]

how do i get the labrys card to transit and complete offensive reconnaisance? I need a card to do the task, but I have to do the task to be able to buy the cards?

[elfin elm]

they have a chance of spawning in rare loot spots, like in safes and other high value places

as well as in the pockets of scav bosses

but the way people USUALLY get them

is they have an rng chance of spawn in your pockets when you scav

[fringe berry]

hello, anyone having this bug too and can't get to the main menu? any solution?

[elfin elm]

alt+f4 and restart

tarkov has an issue where it sometimes can't handle a bunch of items being moved around rapidly in your stash and locks up a bit

[fringe berry]

thanks for the reply but I've been trying to close and restart the client, clear cache and check integrity and all. but still can't get to the main menu ....

[crystal coyote]

anyone able to help me get started

still have to escape from customs

[noble wave]

i can vc chill u want

help u with quests and stuff

[crystal coyote]

thanks man

[olive warren]

hello Everyone
I'd like to ask some help, never played Tarkov before, tomorrow I'll try but only the pve, are there some recommended guide videos i should watch?

[abstract patrol]

Does anyone want to play with me. Level 5, 34 hours

[pale saffron]

@karmic pebble

[elfin elm]

pve you said?

[olive warren]

yep, pve only

[elfin elm]

I main pve atm

been playing for a long time

I can get you through your first handful of missions maybe and give a tip or two

[dark perch]

Help me diagnose myself lmao, i was on customs, i was outside the building, at the wall, looking inside through a broken window. A player was inside. I opened fire at him, and through all the muzzle flash, the poor lighting inside, i completely lost him, i could not see where im shooting, am I blind, or do I need to run flashlights, or what, is this a common experience?

[elfin elm]

running tactical devices is a must

[swift plume]

Hello, does anyone know how to resolve this. Im trying to enter labs though transitioning from factory and streets of tarkov. When i get to the transition area, i get notification "access denied". I have labs keycard on me and this keeps happening, ive tried probably 10 times already with keycard in inventory, conitainer, doesnt matter. I have managed to get in twice before this started happening, but i was killed before i could complete the quest that permanently unlocks it. So right now i cant acces labs at all.

[elfin elm]

for a couple reasons, one being flashlight, 2 being you get a hipfire stat buff

[half quest]

is hideout management 0.8 point gain on craft-finish reducing/stopping if u dont cycle a different craft inbetween? iirc it used to be written on the wiki but now i cant find it there

[elfin elm]

you still need to cycle crafts I believe

[half quest]

thank you

i assume ur right as well but ill try doing the TP craft a 2nd time when its done just to see

[elfin elm]

I'd do further research just in case, but I've been working under the assumption myself

[half quest]

yis, thank you 💜

[crystal oracle]

Seems like a bug of some sort

[swift plume]

I think so too. This happened after i died the first time, for about a day. Next day i tried again and got in 1st try. I died again and now its been like 3 days access denied.

[unkempt egret]

Gigabeef is a good youtuber to watch for info

[crystal oracle]

Pestily is good

[elfin elm]

there's a solid dozen tarkov channels with good info

honestly shop around for a content style your brain digests well

cus I love gigabeef, great info all the time

but he is TOTALLY a charts guy, and some people hate that

[swift acorn]

Why is shoreline such a shithole

i literally have been trying to do 1 fucking quest and every single time i get killed by 4 man squads

[elfin elm]

which task?

[swift acorn]

fuckass colleagues

[crystal oracle]

oof

[swift acorn]

i think its actually time for night raids

[elfin elm]

ah, that's probably cus the people that go to shoreline are either squads going to POI, like the resort, snipers, or people who don't want to be bothered and you'll never see again

and colleagues makes you go to the points of interest that squads care about rolling to

[swift acorn]

can the pop figurines that you get from twitch drops be found in raid?

[crystal oracle]

No

[swift acorn]

ah shite

[crystal oracle]

If you mean the trader ones no

The others can

[swift acorn]

oh well

at least i have the btr one

the rest i sold ffs

[elfin elm]

almost none of the funko pops in tarkov are actually used for anything

so really they're just a nifty collectible

and/or money

[swift acorn]

isnt there some quest to hand one of each in

to like lightkeeper i think or ragman

[half quest]

just letting u know, i just got 5.2 crafting points from accepting the toilet paper again (2nd time i craft it now)

BUT the hideout management points stayed the same as prior instead of going up by 0.8

[elfin elm]

so keep alternating anyways?

[half quest]

if u care about hideout management instead of just crafting, yes.

[crystal oracle]

there is

Small business

[half quest]

if u care purely about crafting then u can repeat the same one (though keep in mind i only tried twice now, maybe it gets less xp as well if its the same one repeatedly)

[crystal oracle]

But those arent trader ones

[fervent sundial]

i have a question. whats the difference between these two options besides the fact that one takes longer?

[elfin elm]

they named differently?

[fervent sundial]

like why would someone choose the longer one that requires more tools?

no

[half quest]

just a tarkov moment

[crystal oracle]

Read each one

see if its different

[fervent sundial]

it's not, i read them already

was wondering if maybe they alter what drops somehow?

[crystal oracle]

Na

Idk why. Like mentioned, tarkov moment

[elfin elm]

googling it btw

[elfin elm]

google-fu says the slow one is a legacy craft

that used to be what people always had to use to open the crates

and with 1.0 we have a newer, faster, easier craft

and they jsut forgot to remove the old one

[fervent sundial]

that's weird, im not sure if it never showed up because i didnt have the long screwdriver or what but i didn't see that option last wipe

last wipe was my first wipe and i only ever sawa the 1 min one

[elfin elm]

🤷‍♂️

maybe in a week or two we'll see the other craft removed

which craft gets removed is yet to be seen

[little sphinx]

Hello, I just started playing today first time and looking to see if anyone wanna play together and help me learn and get better?

[fervent sundial]

oof, not looking forward to that

[elfin elm]

🤞

[elfin elm]

I'm assuming you've only got the pvp service?

[little sphinx]

Yeah

[elfin elm]

I have a website for you if you want

[little sphinx]

Yeah sure

[elfin elm]

it's a lil write up adding info to what the tutorial didn't cover

[stark bridge]

Does assault carbines fall under the assault rifle skills category?

[stable wasp]

Alkali, been watching some shoreline vids. gonna try scavving there now. i did 2 practice raids and followed the route but its so hard to remember all of it

[elfin elm]

ye

[elfin elm]

learning the landmarks is a big one

[fervent sundial]

would anyone happen to know what happened to the stuff that was unlocked for battlepass 0? i dont see anything on google about it at all. are they just gonna get rid of each battlepass unlocked content everytime a new one comes out? 🤦‍♂️

[elfin elm]

that, and continueing in a straight line

[elfin elm]

also, yes

[stable wasp]

im fine with the location in shoreline that im at, its just the route itself mixes a few of the building areas with stashes and sheds etc

[stark bridge]

thanks

[stable wasp]

for a mix of tools, keys and duffle bag spawns

[elfin elm]

worry about the big areas first

memorizing caches and bags comes later

getting lost in the trees searching for a box under a bush isn't the best loot run

[alpine lichen]

is it worth to spend lega medals on cases or should i save them for the keys?

[edgy prairie]

Guys anuone would play with me and teach me the game i d appreciate

[elfin elm]

technically, most of the barters on ref are kinda bad monetary wise so just buy what you want to get

[alpine lichen]

i get that? but i mainly talking if the Item case is better than some of keys

since i heard arena loot is crazy

[restive creek]

what do i do if it doesnt get me in streets as scav?

[crystal oracle]

Welp/ free glukhar gear AHA

[crystal oracle]

back out and requeue

[elfin elm]

only got the pvp side?

[edgy prairie]

yea i think

[elfin elm]

so a lega is sorta technically worth around 900k in value.

at 4 legas an item case that's about 3.6 million worth.

on therpist 2 you can get one through the barter for about 2.3 million worth.

[reef goblet]

Please help I have an twitch account connected to one of my bsg accounts without the came purchased but I have another account with the game purchased but I can’t link my twitch to it

[elfin elm]

each key only takes 1 lega, and 100 GP at a value of about 1.6 million

if GP coins aren't a problem, I'd run the keys and just buy the item case

but it's kinda personal choice

[alpine lichen]

I gotcha then

thanks

[elfin elm]

👍

helps the keys in that the only way you can get this is from ref

whereas the item case has alternative means

[swift acorn]

Are arena servers down or something ive been matching for a last hero game for 15 min

[elfin elm]

oof

[stable wasp]

so alk, i hit shoreline like you mentioned and went for the bottom left of the map route where you hit all the key spots and jackets along the way

thats decent right?

[toxic rune]

Think so

[safe oracle]

Can someone tell me which setting affects my scopes bluriness

[unborn spindle]

if anyone needs help. idm helping level 29 atm. may be playing with a mate later soo idm helping some newbies out

[elfin elm]

not bad

at least 1 task item, some money items, and some hideout stuff

[unborn spindle]

in beginner zone 16

[elfin elm]

m80 some hella good bullets to find too

[north sleet]

Is this a good build for a adar?

second image is just to show what i have available

[elfin elm]

yeah it's passable

[north sleet]

noice

[elfin elm]

use the 20 round poly mags though if you can

cus they're just a tiny bit better

[north sleet]

ok lemme check

[elfin elm]

generally I'd say you've actually done really well for how low traders you have

[north sleet]

how do i use a flashlight? i mean obviously its T but like whats the best way to use it? i swing around a corner and activate it right?

[elfin elm]

and with a semi-auto adar, you can get away with a lot

[elfin elm]

have it always on

just toggle between flashlight and laser depending

[north sleet]

oooh okay always have a laser on

[elfin elm]

having a tac device turned on gives a hidden hip fire spread bonus

[north sleet]

and then when i swing a corner that i believe a player is at i activate the flashlight

[elfin elm]

as long as it has a laser function, and is on a side rail (not built into a scope or something)

it gives the bonus

even if you're on flashlight

[elfin elm]

gnerally yeah

[north sleet]

damn i didnt know that

ty

[elfin elm]

sure thing 👍

[north sleet]

yeah i looked at a yt guide and a ak74u build was recommended by gigabeef but idk i have found a lot of good ammo for adar anot not a lot for 5.45 x 39 and also maybe i just suck at aiming but the recoil is kind of just a bit to much for me

also is this what you meant

[elfin elm]

yeah, that's probably the better 20 rounder

if you have 30s that best, but it'd do with an adar cus of the semi-auto

[north sleet]

+1 erg and less weight yeah

[elfin elm]

5.45 is very common in tarkov as loose loot drops, hence his recommendation

but if you have m855 or better ammo an adar is still alright

[north sleet]

yeah i feel like weapon doesnt really matter and you just pick based off of what ammo and quests you have

[elfin elm]

have full auto capability when you need it though saves your life

[elfin elm]

ammo comes first

gun comes second

but choice of gun does matter

[north sleet]

ye

ofc but its as you said in priorities

[elfin elm]

an adar is gonna be worse than a kitted hk 416

[elfin elm]

you've got the gist

[north sleet]

👍

[elfin elm]

5.45 ps is kinda the lowest you'd want to run

and m855 5.56 is the lowest for that

[unborn spindle]

IF NOOBS NEED HELP LMK

[north sleet]

uh how do i toggle to the laser

[elfin elm]

it's alt+ something

either alt+ t

or alt+r I think

[worn hamlet]

ctrl T

[elfin elm]

oh thanks

I rebound it years ago

[worn hamlet]

T turns it on and off

Ctrl t lets you switch between if you have regular/flashlight/IR laser

[vague orchid]

my loadout for grendieer

time to go kill some AI PMCS (mainly PVE Player)

and tagilla jsut killed me

[silent oxide]

that brings me to a question, how does insurance work on PvE like is it 100%

[weak harbor]

what grips fit on a mp-133?

i heard that rk6 fits but it says item incompatible

[next nimbus]

random chance if u get your stuff back

[elfin elm]

still poretty high chance

[next nimbus]

you need the plastic forestock, you can barter for one at mechanic level 1 for a damaged hard drive

[elfin elm]

but ye, you can still lsoe stuff

[weak harbor]

i see

thanks

[next nimbus]

👍

[sacred kelp]

hey just a general question, anyoen got some like good tips for starting out? im kinda stuck on the factory extract quest, i cant play any other maps like on pre 1.0 to get some kits and on ground zero i kinda just get rolled by duos, thanks in advance!

[silent oxide]

For me personally if I have extract or planting missions I just go naked unless I want or need to do other missions as well

[sacred kelp]

thats super valid, always kinda scared of nakes runs because of marked n cursed or whatever its called

[vague orchid]

do you still get the scav rep for a run through if you take the car V-exs?

[unborn spindle]

[elfin elm]

Btw DO NOT do naked runs

You get targeted by the ai system

Gotta have at least a gun and a bag

[north sleet]

id say begin watching twitch for drops, claim all of the promo codes, use online maps (once you unlock the compass use that too its very useful if you dont know the maps), use the fandom wiki for quests, use wishlist to know what items to pick up (i also use in game flea market/tarkov-market.com to see whats good) and which to throw out first (eg blue tape, hoses, cords, relays are examples of really good drops while soap, d & aa batteries, awl (after first 3), geiger (after 1st 1), all the cigarettes (after finishing the mechanic quest giving him 5 of each). use around 62-63 fov since 59 fov = 90 vertical fov which is the normal option in most games.

also dont have gear fear, always try to run armors even shitty t2s since you will almost always get them back anyways with insurance, you will most likely sell a bunch of weapons due to lack of inventory space anyways. camo is important always run a balaklava and try to go for more camo like colors. now if you still have gear fear, try running a glock with a balaclava and an extra mag + a lot of loose ammo

ammo -> weapons. try to go for ammo with 30+ pen

and also try to get a friend to play with its a lot more fun together 👍

[sacred kelp]

alrighty big thanks! i didnt even know about the codes lol

[north sleet]

i know theres a command to see what you can claim but dont know how to do it here

[vocal mist]

this is how

[weak harbor]

how the hell am i supposed to finish this? i can barely kill pmcs with an ar

[unborn spindle]

labs and run and shoot

[digital pine]

why do i have 0.88 raid exp multiplier when my friend gets 0.97 for the same raid both of us survived

[north sleet]

also to survive in game theres a lot of stuff to know but here are some tips i found useful: using lean (i use just press once since it hurts my fingers to continously hold) costs no stamina so when you are not running always try to use q and e to not get headshot. energy and hydration is important always go into a raid at max. always have a way to heal, cure light bleed, heavy bleed and fractures/painkillers. double press o to see what extracts you have and look online to where they are (press x in a random bush or safe place while you do so), try to manage ur stamina so that you are never caught out without stamina, try to sprint from cover to cover and walk the rest so people dont hear you as much. theres probably much much more but these are my most useful tips i can give you i think.

PS: for streets and ground zero i would recommend to go at night so you dont get killed from buildings by scavs and pmcs since they have a bunch of street lights. ppl with night vision cant really see that well when looking at street lights but this also means you shouldnt do it on other maps unless you are more experienced

[stable wasp]

some items are wishlisted and show as relevent for quests. does this show for future quest items or only current?

[silent oxide]

I believe it should only be current quest/hideout items

[stable wasp]

gotchu, ty. just gone into woods in practice mode and got rushed by this scav with a name?

partizan

[unborn spindle]

boss

[stable wasp]

i got his guards but the guy tanked half a mag

[abstract patrol]

Still looking if anyone is interested

[unborn spindle]

wat reigon

[unborn spindle]

partizan doesnt have guards

[unborn spindle]

im eu or i wouldve play

[stable wasp]

so what guards did i kill? and what sniper hit me from cross map

[unborn spindle]

guards was probs reshala. with a sniper its either a sniper scav or u went out of bounmds

bounds

wait ur on woods

not customs

[stable wasp]

yeh

[abstract patrol]

Okay, sorry.

[unborn spindle]

shturman

probs killed you

[stable wasp]

so i encountered shturman and partizan? cause it said partizan as who i died to

[unborn spindle]

oh

well then

possible tbf

[stable wasp]

is that rare to have both in same area at same time?

[unborn spindle]

meh not really

had reshala and partizan back to back on customs before

shturman is typically at sawmil

[stable wasp]

gotchu, just learning woods. absolutely hate it though. despise the map. just got a couple quests on it

[onyx arch]

hello everyone! quick question: i got Unheard edition since the release and now it shows standard edition? anybody encounter same thing?

[snow leaf]

How do I set up twitch dropsss

[gentle verge]

Why did Nikita say cheating is fixed and now you have players cheating again 🤦🏽‍♂️

[unborn spindle]

ngl havent came across a single cheater yet

[gentle verge]

Glorious had back to back on live yesterday

[unborn spindle]

fairs. ive done almost 300 raids and been lucky so far

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gentle verge]

Can you mess with gammer setting to see better on nighttime on tarkov?

[unborn spindle]

on postfx no

[gentle verge]

I cannot see shit yet I’m dying to players who eat more carrots

[elfin elm]

map familiarity, flashlights, and night vision

[tepid arrow]

One event is not enough to claim that cheaters are back :p

[tepid arrow]

Try playing in a dark room if you’re not already. Night time should be pretty bright unless you’re early or late night

[unborn spindle]

agree cba to agure with bro, the guy glorious probs played almost a 1000 raids by now lol

[unkempt egret]

Best place to find 30mm shells?

[tepid arrow]

I find them most often in sports bags

Either that or scavs who spawned with them

[covert imp]

When i insure something is it 100% that im getting it back or?

[azure silo]

as long as it doesn't get looted, most of my stuff like armor came back but not my weapons and ammo

[oblique fractal]

noob looking to play with others on pve

[compact wind]

ammo doesnt get insured. but if it is insured and nobody takes it, then it will come back. time depends on who you insure through.

[alpine lichen]

can you visit peacekeeper? or is that not a feature with him

[dire canyon]

can someone hop in a call with me and help me clean up the stash please

[north sleet]

you can post some screenshots if you want

Hey so im trying to do the setup quest whats the best way to mod the mp 153 to finish this quest?

[fringe tree]

anyone have good money runs?

like ideas for them

[north sleet]

i mean i would say labs but im guessing you have some more qualifers

[night bronze]

Is it a fair ask to request a Sherpa for Streets in the next two hours? I have two ops quests that expire and I’ve spent four hours failing to extract so far.

[primal marten]

Guys, i f i am lvl 30 can i drop my friends who are low lvl Labs cards?

[north sleet]

no they get destroyed

[primal marten]

are you sure?

[north sleet]

if you dont get a sherpa one tip i have for you is to run streets at night

[north sleet]

no but thats what it says on the google search

[fringe tree]

yes

[lime granite]

hello rookie question, does the MXLR count for any any of the bolt action quests like tarkov shooter or shooter born?

[abstract harness]

yes, it is classified as a bolt action and will count for all of those

[lime granite]

great! thank you so much

[north sleet]

so im trying to do the setup quest and modifying the mp-153, first though what ammo should i use? i have lv2 jeager rag & skier. is piranha the way to go? then go for leg shots and since it pierces most soft armor has that extra utility as well

[pearl furnace]

Slugs if you want headshots, piranha if you prefer your plan. BMG slugs may still be craftable at a reasonable workbench level? Also, don't sleep on the MP-18: it counts for Setup even though it fires 7.62x54R.

[north sleet]

uhh it says single shot idk if im that good at the game for that lol even if the ammo is op

if i miss im doneso

[pearl furnace]

Carry both, I mean. 153 for shotgun range, 18 for sniper ranges. The MP-18 can fit a bunch of low-zoom scopes that work well.

[north sleet]

also i see that having a laser on is op as it increases hip fire accuracy by a lot however it reveals you as well a lot or is that just from what i see based on advice

and is the baldr one the best one for now

[pearl furnace]

Sometimes a laser+flashlight combo is effective for hip fire. Turn it to the setting where both laser and light are on, makes it harder for them to see you properly.

But yeah, you'll be easy to see.

[north sleet]

something like this? and then turn on the laser/flashlight when i swing

[pearl furnace]

Should be good with that, sure. My preference is having the light on the right arm of the mount instead of under, but like I say, that's preference.

[north sleet]

hm and the reasoning is? i thought the agreed order was under -> right -> left for attachments (generally)

[pearl furnace]

Right-shoulder advantage. Always try to engage in a way that you're peeking to your right side, not left; same in most games.

Having the light on the right means even if I'm leaning for the shot, my light hits them in the face effectively.

But again, if under feels best for you, use it that way. I think it's mostly preference.

[north sleet]

alr ill try under first then change if i feel different

[frigid kraken]

in need of a sherpa to help with some tasks

[slim pawn]

Yo anyone unlock gym already thati can add use theirs?

[atomic charm]

Anyone getting unusually long matching?

[cobalt oak]

with 6.0 fence rep, how much time does it takes for a new scav to be available?

[atomic charm]

pre 1.0 after like 10-12 mins it'd just drop me in a dead raid

[cobalt oak]

the game does that, if it cant find players you will load in a dead raid

the game just take its time to find players, even though he wont

[atomic charm]

yeah just wondered if it changed just got to 20 mins

[cobalt oak]

oh

if its THAT long, you are in a bugged matchmaking

just try to leave, if you cant, alt f4

[dire canyon]

looking for someone to help me do tasks, get juiced loot, upgrade hideout, and just try to get me better please!!

[dusky robin]

how the hell did i lose my guns after i died

[unborn spindle]

wdym

[dusky robin]

All of my stuff is gone after i died and now i spawned with a knife

[compact wind]

if you die, you have to make a new kit

[unborn spindle]

yup if you die as a pmc

u lose all ur gear

[carmine jacinth]

Could someone help me out on shoreline and completing the "locate the entrance to the port terminal" Main story task. I cannot for the life of me live long enough on shoreline to complete it, also i don't really know the map

[compact wind]

best bet is going to the pvp-lfg or pve-lfg and posting there

[carmine jacinth]

ahh okay thanks naruto

[compact wind]

i gotchyu luffy

[unborn spindle]

[dusky robin]

How do i do that

[unborn spindle]

by using the stuff in ur stash

[compact wind]

go to your character and set up a new kit. add a new weapon, armor, rig, bag, etc

[vagrant anvil]

Did they change anything on tagilla's melee or something? I've died around 4 times to his melee as a one shot, but I lose 300 hp in one hit? or do you automatically lose 300hp when u die? istg in the previous wipe you could survive 2 or even 3 hits sometimes as long as he didn't hit the head

[open flower]

has anyone else not been getting their epic drops? i think it gives me every other drop but not the epics?

[crimson thicket]

My buddy has not been receiving almost any epics for all drops. Not sure why

[still stone]

anyone want to carry a timmy?

[unborn spindle]

Why green battery like 300k

[crimson thicket]

Bitcoin barter

[crimson badger]

if i buy stash slots while in the scav loot transfer screen, can i use those slots then?

[unborn spindle]

Fairs but normally the tetris is the expensive one

[crimson thicket]

They go back and forth, also Tetris has been dropping like candy out of twitch drops

[unborn spindle]

U can craft green batteries lol

[crimson badger]

tryna put this in my stash but dont have space

[crimson thicket]

I wouldnt expect them until you're back at main menu but idk

[unborn spindle]

Just did my farming part 4

Time to craft green batteries

😭😭😭

Getting all those btc

[crimson thicket]

You can't list or buy till lvl 35 either so not many people have that ability

[unborn spindle]

Idk why keys are such high level

I got 2 marked room keys for streets

Would love to sell 1

Or sell both and buy reserve keys

[arctic granite]

guys for these bonuses from generator what is this can someone explain?

why would i need to use generator and using fuel

[tepid cypress]

if you bought eod a long time ago did you get codes to gift your friends the game for free or was that something else

[unborn spindle]

Crafting requires the generator to be on. Turning off the gen after stsrting the crafting started makes the process longer

[arctic granite]

So if u dont craft anything u just turn off right?

[unborn spindle]

Yes leave it off

[arctic granite]

do u put 2 fuels?

even tho if its off

[unborn spindle]

I do because it take it out of stash giving more space

[arctic granite]

gotcha

[unborn spindle]

Holy fuck i cant type for shit

4am 😭

[arctic granite]

also i found this med kit is this the best med kit?

[unborn spindle]

Well depends what you consider the best

This does heal every bleed and fracture

[arctic granite]

does it heal everyhing

oh thats nice

[unborn spindle]

Yes except blacked out limbs

People dont really bring them into raid unless its in their pouch

[arctic granite]

so im newish to this game how do u cure blacked out arms or limbs?

[unborn spindle]

CMS kit or SURVIVAL kit

Those can be put in ur special slots

[arctic granite]

never seen survival kit before

[unborn spindle]

Rarer version of cms

Cms is 3 use

Surv kit is 7

[arctic granite]

oh damn

how about car med kit

[unborn spindle]

HOWEVER

[arctic granite]

that looks like cms kit?

[unborn spindle]

CMS animation is 16 seconds and you cant move

Surv us 20 secs

Is*

[unborn spindle]

Car med kits are alright

[arctic granite]

so once u heal the blacked out arms or legs u do need to use heal items to heal them up?

[unborn spindle]

Better than cheese slice (AI 2)

[arctic granite]

is that for only bleedings heavy light?

[unborn spindle]

Yes

[unborn spindle]

Mainly just for healing

Bandage for light bleed

[arctic granite]

but covers heavy too right?

[unborn spindle]

Esmach,cat or calok b for heavy blead

Bleed

You can use a afak for a heavy too but it uses alot of durability

[unborn spindle]

I dont think the car does

[arctic granite]

oh okay

good to know

esmarch is the best for me i guess

since im barely level 5

[unborn spindle]

Yes

Also, blacked out leg or leg fractures dont let you run

Keep a painkiller in ur pouch to allow you to run in dire situation

You do take abit damage but it can save ur life

E.g if im going to run in a open area. Pop a painkiller because if someone shoots my legs i can still run if its blacked out

Splint or alu splint

[arctic granite]

u prefer alu or basic one?

[unborn spindle]

Both are similar alu split has more uses so i keep it in my pouch

AI-2 / car for healing

And salewa

[arctic granite]

got u

[unborn spindle]

Ifak and afak too but they also have other benefits

[arctic granite]

they are just for healing right?

ifak and afak

[unborn spindle]

Yes however afak can do light and heavys

[arctic granite]

oh damn

[unborn spindle]

But it uses alot of dura

Same with ifak

[arctic granite]

so afak is the better than ifak right

[unborn spindle]

Yes

[arctic granite]

gotcha

[unborn spindle]

Salwea does heavy and light bleed too apprently

[arctic granite]

and btw do u know anything about this key? is it important

[unborn spindle]

Take alot of durability however

[unborn spindle]

Quest key

[arctic granite]

so im gonna keep it then

[unborn spindle]

Yes

Kinda early quest asw. Room itself is dogshit

[arctic granite]

the quest wants u to use it in game?

or just give it to them

in main menu

[unborn spindle]

U have to go to the room in game

[arctic granite]

oh damn what happens if u die? after using the key?

[unborn spindle]

Gotta go again

[arctic granite]

it doesnt count if u already used it?

[unborn spindle]

U got 40 uses

[arctic granite]

oh so it doesnt disappear oh nice

[unborn spindle]

you keeps keys in ur pouch NO MATTER WAT

Esp if you know u need them for a quest or they are good

[arctic granite]

how about this one?

should i keep it

[unborn spindle]

Dogshit. U cant open any doors

Its just a random ahh item

[arctic granite]

so im selling then

[unborn spindle]

If you get a key thats marked room you extract asap

Really good key

[arctic granite]

how do u see them as if they are marked?

[unborn spindle]

Typically they are red or they look abit unusual

[arctic granite]

oooh

good to know

[unborn spindle]

Thats what most look like. There are more than these 2 ofc

Keycards asw. However i highly doubt you'll be seeing them anytime soon

[arctic granite]

so their background is a bit yellowish right

[unborn spindle]

Wdym

[unborn spindle]

From the top of my head i dokt remember however they could be

But the keys typically look like this

Anyways just with different names

[arctic granite]

gotcha

[unborn spindle]

They maybe look a lil different

May*

@arctic granite wat region do you play

[arctic granite]

NA

poeple are camping so hard

idk why

[unborn spindle]

East coast or west coast

[arctic granite]

east

[unborn spindle]

Im eu we can run it sometime

Added you

[arctic granite]

sure bro that would be cool

i want to learn this game so much but its really hard

[unborn spindle]

Ive been there dont worry its worth it in the end

[arctic granite]

i know yeah the pleasure coming from extraction is so great

[unborn spindle]

Trust me

The rush you get when u kill pmcs with good loot and extract is unbeatable

Finding ur 1st keycard and marked key is such a amazing moment

[arctic granite]

i played arc raiders around 100 hours but doesnt give me any satifscation anymore cuz game is literally ended after 60 hours or so
and they dont develop anymore items or any more content

[unborn spindle]

Same with a ledx and gpu but they kinda ruined it by giving it away in the tutorial

[tribal garnet]

man this games so wack to get into honestly forgot how unforgiving playing solo is, like all i run into is trios, ill kill one and the other 2 just immediately rat the body for 10 mins straight, literally just trying to do my first tasks in the game and im playing nothing but juicers...

if u arent playing the game like a full time job u just fall so far behind its not even worth trying to play to catch up

[knotty parrot]

Anyone down to help me get my first task done I'm new to Tarkov but I've played other games similar to it (like ghosts of tabor and arena breakout)

[unborn spindle]

As someone who plays solo mainly and joined mid wipe mutiple times

If your new ill cut you some slack. Its hard and I agree. Not having a friend to go through the learning curve is pretty dogshit

However theres a discord server for a reasom

If u've got a decent amount of hours should be a problem

Shouldnt*

3 or more people squads are lowkey a disadvantage

Play scummy and ratty and bait audio Qs

They in a discord call tryna figure out wat to do half the time making sure they dont shoot their team at the same time

[true coral]

what can i do with this no trader buys it

[unborn spindle]

Keep the armour plates and sell the vest

Plates should be lvl 6

[unborn spindle]

Regardless rangman should

[tribal garnet]

i havent played the game in like 3 years, its just if u dont have time to pour 5-6 hours a day into the game its impossible to do much lol

[unborn spindle]

I care to disagree.

Ofc ur at a disadvantage

But regardless u can still progress

[true coral]

oh i couldnt sell it cuzi t had shit in it, why keep the plates ?

[unborn spindle]

Assuming its lvl 6. Its the highest level

Most people run level 4/5

Rarely ever see 6

[tribal garnet]

obviously, its just 12x slower lol, im lowkey wanting to get into it again really bad but just feels pointless when no matter wat route i take im getting ratted, doesnt matter how slow i play, just dont have the guns n shi rn to do much against ppl with gear, leg meta is rough, i always just instinctively aim for the head lmao too use to arc raiders, siege, ect

[unborn spindle]

Up to u to keep the level 4 one

[unborn spindle]

If u aim for head you should be winning most fights

[tribal garnet]

not if my ammo isnt penning lol

[unborn spindle]

Shooting someones face will kill them regardless of ammo mate

Most of ur ammo should pen level 2 or 3

So face is 1 shot unless ur unlucky it may deflect 1 bullet

[tribal garnet]

i just keep getting spammed through bushes with shotguns too lmao that was not a huge thing when i last played now istg like 60% of the ppl i run into have shotguns

they buff them or something?

[unborn spindle]

Customs

Setup quest

Early wipe everyone tyna do that task

Sadly most just rat to do it

[tribal garnet]

ah yea true, im just tryna survive the damn raid so i can actually progress and unlock other maps, but literally everywhere i go theres a mf ratting there dont even like running customs normally unless i have semi decent gear lol

[unborn spindle]

Dont traverse the map on the dorms side

Stay toward the oppsite

Mostly open and stronghold and crackhouse

[tribal garnet]

yea i try but i keep spawning right next to dorms and getting slammed, been tryna hit the stashes as i go too cuz they used to be juiced and they finally made it where they guarenteed to spawn in again lol

[unborn spindle]

Icl theres only 1 spawn i can think of that makes it so you HAVE to go dorms ngl

If u keeo getting that then thats unlucky

[tribal garnet]

i dont go to dorms, i just spawn in the general area and keep dying to mfs ratting up by the radio tower on the hill near railroad

ig i just gotta not try looting the 2-3 stashes in that area lol

[unborn spindle]

R u NA or EU

@tribal garnet

[tribal garnet]

NA

[unborn spindle]

Ngl idk all I hear is how MANY RATS on NA 😭

[tribal garnet]

finally have a day off so i been trying to play raids off and on all day and just havent had much luck

yea, bro, from wat im seeing its rough, its ight tho, i kinda in a spot on arc raiders where theres not much else to do besides throw all my gear away in pvp so i got bored and decided to pick up tarkov again, now im struggling cuz its been so long lol

[unborn spindle]

Try change ur server to eu west and see. Raids should be more dead atm aswell. Its 5.30amish

Gives u a better chance to do ur quest

[tribal garnet]

yea i might try that, thanks

so wat are the point of plates? just extra armor durability now?

[unborn spindle]

Most armour without plate go up to 3

Adding plates make it so you can make it 4/5/6

[unborn spindle]

Also this

[tribal garnet]

ahhh nice, so p much u can make any armor class 6 now? not any but any that can carry plates?

[unborn spindle]

Yup as long as you got the plates

[tribal garnet]

thats a good change tbh, i gotta look into all the changes the past couple years lol theres a lot

[unborn spindle]

Keycards r less rare than before (still super rare) 10 uses

Not unlimited

[tribal garnet]

ive seen, watched landmark get like 3 keycards from dorm marked and was confused then realized lol

[unborn spindle]

Got a green and violet in dorms 2 wipes ago

Soo beautiful

[alpine lichen]

out of curiosity, does the arena ulach shroud work?

[knotty parrot]

first time doing a raid i wonder around for 30 mins not knowing what to do and end up getting domed from across the map

[unborn spindle]

What map

[knotty parrot]

i dont know it was like a city

[alpine lichen]

welcome to tarkov lol, look at your quests and checkout the wiki for em, that or watch vids on them

[unborn spindle]

Ground zero

[knotty parrot]

that one

i thought that coming to tarkov from ghosts of tabor would help but it hasn't so far

[lean jetty]

can you get a marked key from a marked room and if so, is it common?

[alpine lichen]

yes and not common, they are the best keys in the game, you can buy them on flea im pretty sure but be ready to spend millions on potentially 1 use, since people sell them when they have 1 left, you can find full ones, but they are much more expensive

[unborn spindle]

R u sure? Ive probably open reserve and droms almost 100 times each. Only keycards n stuff never another marked key

[alpine lichen]

tbf the last i got one was pre inertia, so i wouldnt know anymore

[unborn spindle]

100% changed

[true coral]

is this key good my scav has it

[alpine lichen]

check the wiki, 99% it is since its a marked key on reserve

[unborn spindle]

VERY good

Ngl best reserve key imo

Out if the 3 marked rooms

Keep it 1 use on ut

And try get the other 1 ajd do the same

Trade for a dorms one

[unborn spindle]

Used to get weapons cases back then 🫠

[true coral]

is there any way to get USD other than selling to peacekeerp

[raven cove]

How can I add a friend? I tried my friend nick but the wheel just keeps turning and nothing happens..also dosent let me type in the full TarkovCitizen ID or is it something else?

[compact wind]

in the messenger, there is a friends button in the bottom left. just have to type his name it. then right click and send friend request

[raven cove]

So from what you said its not this trakov citizenship but what is written below charcter on the overall screen. thanks ill ask him

[compact wind]

correct. its the name that he entered as his username in the game

[worn hamlet]

Is there a guide on how to link Steam and BSG account? I have the game on steam but when I try to link it to my BSG account it says that my email is already in use. I am very confused.

[tribal garnet]

so do main extracts shut down after a while now or something????

went to go to extract on customs with like 5 mins left in raid and all there was left was the transits...

[arctic granite]

guys should i sell this recorder?

[worn hamlet]

@tribal garnet had you interacted with the transit? usually that locks you into leaving via those. at least from my experience

[tribal garnet]

ahhh damn, yea i did, i didnt know what transits were so i messed with it lmao thanks for the info, lost a bunch of task items but its alright

[brazen tiger]

how do i do the To Great Heights task so i can transfer money from arena

[undone drum]

??tc

[red thistle]

Don't forget to head on to the Tarkov Community website at https://tarkov.community/ and add your feedback! Devs and Reps regularly look through and answer player feedback there, and your input matters!

[sturdy sinew]

why my scope looks like this? 😭😭😭

[umbral widget]

so uh.. where do u guys find ur stuff?

[hollow pawn]

So woods is becoming a bit of a nightmare. I still can’t unlock Jaeger - do you remember what helped you survive?

[sturdy sinew]

Are you having trouble finding the note and extracting?

[hollow pawn]

Correct

[sturdy sinew]

use the lake and the big mountain near the center of the map to orient yourself

are u playing right now? I can help if you want

[tepid arrow]

I killed sanitar :3

[hollow pawn]

Too kind of you - might connect in a bit

[lapis shale]

which of these should i prioritize when looting to make money?

[tepid arrow]

Valuables are good along with safes. Filing cabinets and crates can be good too

+tool boxes and duffle bags are worth searching

[open vale]

hi guys, are there any new promo codes?

[umbral widget]

idk man black keycard is pretty OP

[tepid arrow]

Only 10 uses

What level is it to buy on the flea even

If you need stims for tasks there’s other ways such as res unit

Or if you want money from stims there’s other ways such as res unit

[sullen galleon]

cache dead scavs duffle jacket

[arctic granite]

u guys think this headwear one of the best?

[tepid arrow]

No <3

[arctic granite]

why

[sullen galleon]

its okay

[tepid arrow]

It’s only level 3

[lusty spire]

could use some help starting out

i have legit nothing and i keep dying because i dont know the maps

[sullen galleon]

its lvl 3 protects full head but it muffles audio

[tepid arrow]

If you haven’t already you should use the practice mode

[tepid arrow]

Ya forgot the audio too

[lusty spire]

theres nothing like in game experience

[sullen galleon]

scaving will be your best friend

[tepid arrow]

You can’t really learn all that well imo if you just keep dying instantly :p

[arctic granite]

so how u guys cover ur head? like with what items?

[tepid arrow]

Other helmets

[lusty spire]

im not dying instantly im just dying lmao

[arctic granite]

which ones

[lusty spire]

yeah i know but the thing about it im on quest 2 ive been on quest 2 for awhile and i recently found out u cant complete quests as a scav

[tepid arrow]

If you don’t have any level 4, the 6b47 ratnik from prapor is p good

If I don’t have that, I don’t run any head gear

[sullen galleon]

any really thats lvl 4 and can wear headphones,

[arctic granite]

like u guys play like this?

[sullen galleon]

no

[tepid arrow]

I wouldn’t take a face covering

[plucky tangle]

comtac 6

[tepid arrow]

Not an armored one

[plucky tangle]

they cheap

[arctic granite]

so comtac 6 is the best?

[tepid arrow]

By far ya

[arctic granite]

oh i see

[plucky tangle]

its worth the price

only like 50k now

[tepid arrow]

I personally run whatever headphones I have on hand except gssh

[arctic granite]

why would u not take?

[tepid arrow]

But if I got none I check flea to see what’s cheap

[tepid arrow]

It’s only level 2 armor so it’ll stop almost nothing

[plucky tangle]

com 6 is just a better com 5

[tepid arrow]

It’s also rather expensive

[arctic granite]

oh so what do u get for headwear with headphones

[tepid arrow]

I would get more use out of it selling to buy other gear than the protection it offers

[tepid arrow]

6b47, if I don’t have unlocked I don’t run anything armored

Or I run something better

[sullen galleon]

what lvl are you?

[tepid arrow]

Like any class 4 helmet

[arctic granite]

im level 6

[sullen galleon]

how many hours

[arctic granite]

trying to learn the game

lemme check

[tepid arrow]

Welcome to Tarkov homie <3

Hope you’re having fun

[arctic granite]

15 hours so far

[arctic granite]

so this one is level 4 ?

[sullen galleon]

cute

[tepid arrow]

The ronin you showed? No it’s level 3

[sullen galleon]

inspect armor itll tell you what lvl it is in the bottom right corner along with what it protects

[void comet]

Sometimes when I get involved in a shootout and get injured, even though I'll treat myself up as best I can, I'll still find my character starting to black out around 5 minutes later and then he'll keel over and die. How can I avoid this? What medical item do I need to use to rectify it?

[tepid arrow]

The 6b47 is level 3 too but it allows you to wear headphones

[arctic granite]

no 6b47

[tepid arrow]

Bandages or tourniquet

[sullen galleon]

are you bleeding / fracture / dying of dehydration or hunger, its one of those 4

[sullen galleon]

lvl 3

[void comet]

I definitely wasn't actively bleeding

Let me check my hunger. Clipping.

[tepid arrow]

A light bleed can pop up again later

[sullen galleon]

this a truth

[tepid arrow]

If you heal a heavy bleed or surgery a limb back

[arctic granite]

so lvl 4 headwear with headphones is the best for u right?

[tepid arrow]

Ya it’s the ideal

[arctic granite]

so how do u check if u can use headphones

with headwear

[void comet]

wait, having 0 energy kills you instantly?

That's kinda rough

[tepid arrow]

If it had space on the ear parts

[arctic granite]

i guess yes

[void comet]

I know thirst was DoT

[tepid arrow]

No, over time

[void comet]

I got killed instantly from it

[sullen galleon]

me PERSONALLY, i rock any helmet thats lvl 3 +, whether it has a facesheild and muffles my audio or not, BUT for new players alaways rock headphones and lvl 3 plus

[void comet]

239 health and then as soon as I hit 0 energy, I died.

[sullen galleon]

just try to put on headphones, if you cant, well there you go

[arctic granite]

theres no icon to check or message?

[tepid arrow]

Head or thorax black?

[sullen galleon]

IF your head or thorax is blacked and you are actively dying of hunger / thirst you will instantly die

[void comet]

Oh

My thorax was. That'd explain it.

Having no CMS access at the start is a struggle xD

[sullen galleon]

no, but most every helmet can have headphones, 9/10 times you can wear headphones with it

[tepid arrow]

Look at the helmet. If there’s a little space at the ear area you can wear headphones

[sullen galleon]

you cant cms blacked head or thorxas

[arctic granite]

oh okay thanks

[sullen galleon]

lowk gg if you get thorax blacked, head ehh

[arctic granite]

good to know

[tepid arrow]

Look at the kolpak for example. No space for ears. Exfil on the other hand has space

[arctic granite]

like can u use with this one

[sullen galleon]

No

[tepid arrow]

No. No ear space

[arctic granite]

ohh i see now

traders dont sell the one u described atm

[sullen galleon]

see how some have ear cut outs, you can kinda guess which ones you can wear headphones with

[tepid arrow]

Yeah the 6b47 is locked behind task or trader level

I forgot

Just do some work for prapor and you’ll get it

[arctic granite]

oh okay gotcha

[undone drum]

google:
tarkov wiki helmet name

[tepid arrow]

Awww but 3rd party tool when u can use in game hints :(

[arctic granite]

@tepid arrow @sullen galleon how about body armor what do u guys usually get

[sullen galleon]

honestly at lvl 6 just wear wtv you got

[tepid arrow]

Do some work for prapor and you’ll get a mission called “search mission”. It’s a level 3 armor

I run it even late game sometimes

• ratnik

[arctic granite]

i have level 3 armor yea

[tepid arrow]

To later yoink stuff from whoever I kill later on

[arctic granite]

so u usually go for level 3?

[tepid arrow]

Preferably

If not that then a paca is better than nothing

Only good against scavs tho

[arctic granite]

gotcha

and eyewear only for cosmetic right?

[tepid arrow]

Well PREFERABLY 4

Ya

But you won’t have class 4 consistently for a little while so 3 is what you ought to run

[arctic granite]

got u

thanks for the info guys appreciate it

[tepid arrow]

Ofc homie <3 hope it helps

Kill dem mofos

[arctic granite]

oh just found out i have level 4 armor lol

[tepid arrow]

Make sure all plates are level 4

[arctic granite]

idk if its good or not

[tepid arrow]

And that it has all plated

[tepid arrow]

Primarily dependent on the plates

[arctic granite]

2 plates all of em are 4

[tepid arrow]

Hell ya

I don’t even think there are level 4 side plates

[sullen galleon]

nope

[arctic granite]

so how many plates make those armors great?

like 3-4

[tepid arrow]

It’s not the quantity

It’s the armor class and material

Tho I suppose the more coverage you have the better but it’s not THAT important

[sullen galleon]

i mean techincally the best armor has side plates but you dont need to worry about it , getting killed on your side now is plausible sure but its definetly rare

[arctic granite]

oh i see

so how do u know if the material good or not

[tepid arrow]

Id much rather have 2 steel level 4 plates than level 3 plates with side plates

[tepid arrow]

You can check the wiki or use your knowledge of real world materials

[jolly plover]

Want to ask, whats the highest armor tier rn and where can i get it? the highest i got is 4 from twich drops

[tepid arrow]

Ceramics break a lot easier than metals

Etc etc

[sullen galleon]

6

[arctic granite]

gotcha gotcha

[tepid arrow]

You can get it from a lot of places. Most commonly advanced ai or other players

[sullen galleon]

you can get the best armor from key rooms, caches, or bodies

[jolly plover]

which key room is good? ive got some keys but ive never bothered using em

[sullen galleon]

what ya got

[tepid arrow]

There’s a lot. You’d have to look at the keys themselves individually

[arctic granite]

and one more question do u guys collect dogtags from players? if yes why? why we would need them?

[sullen galleon]

trophys / sells semi high to therapist / barter trades

[tepid arrow]

I do. Bragging rights mostly but they’re useful for tasks and a couple barters

[mild venture]

what should i bring as a PMC? im literally new XD

[jolly plover]

Acess lab key, usec purple key, power substation utility key, and the merin key

[tepid arrow]

Depends on what you got my friend :p

[versed valley]

and tasks

[arctic granite]

do u happen to know when will those tasks appear like what level? 30-40 maybe?

[mild venture]

like the essentials? i always die from 0% health from my arms and i cant even use bandage or something to heal it XD

[versed valley]

watch some yt tutorials, they should explain the very basics

[sullen galleon]

access is getting into labs (good luck), Usec stash is on customs, its alright just a few weapon boxs, forgot whats in power, merin is a car on lighthouse, spawns 1-3 high valable loot

[versed valley]

all over the place, as early as lvl10

[tepid arrow]

All over the place. There’s a couple early on and they pop up sporadically as you continue

[arctic granite]

ooh gotcha

so approx. how many would i need them for tasks

[jolly plover]

how many merin cars are in lighthouse? will try to see whats in there

[sullen galleon]

1

[tepid arrow]

Watch the field guide by battlestate games on yt <3 it’s very helpful

[arctic granite]

no the total

whole tasks

[jolly plover]

oh kk, ty

[sullen galleon]

you need 7 usec for your first one

skier task, shows up early

[tepid arrow]

Less than you’ll kill

[sullen galleon]

brutal.

[tepid arrow]

That was a compliment if anything

In general, pick them up if you have space, drop them if you need space

It’s what I do

[arctic granite]

so skier is the first one and will ask me to get 7 usec dogtag am i right?

[sullen galleon]

and if they EVER have ttv, see if they streaming for an epic killcam

[sullen galleon]

yes, kill 7 usecs get 7 usec tags

[arctic granite]

oh okay

good to know that

[mild venture]

ok so how do i play with people here? like does it have friendlyfire?

[sullen galleon]

js unistall gng

you playing with other people?

[mild venture]

no, not yet, i just bought the game and started playing XD

[sullen galleon]

good luck

there is freindly fire so be weary

[tepid arrow]

Get er done buddy!!!!

[sullen galleon]

if you have that much of a problem tking you could get armbands to differeniate

[tepid arrow]

There’s the lfg. If you also want to play with people who actively teach you the game you can often times ask here, you might get a guy yelling at you to go to lfg, or you can use the Sherpa hub

??sherpahub

[red thistle]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[tepid arrow]

Or for the drip

Labs armband my beloved <3

[sullen galleon]

👀

[mild venture]

ooooh so, party is possible but theres friendly fire, do we see each others name tags or like do we play blind like in real life XD

[tepid arrow]

Blind :3

[mild venture]

XD thanks yall!

[sullen galleon]

yes theres a party system, youll spawn in together but other than that its up to yalls comms

good luck with the hellscape of tarkov and dont forget

it doesnt get better

[mild venture]

ok ok i might just reserve party runs with a friend that i know XD

[tepid arrow]

And it’s also a game!!! Don’t forget to have fun lol

[mild venture]

to avoid traitors hahahaha

[tepid arrow]

Yeah DO NOT ISE IN GAME LFG!!!

You will be shot in the face

[mild venture]

oh btw how do i use the sherpa hub?

[tepid arrow]

Use the discord’s

If you want a Sherpa they have guide in there. Otherwise dm someone in offering help or send a message in looking for help

Or group

[versed valley]

discords lfg is almost entirely safe cuz you get banned for purposeful tk's

ingame lfg has no rules and you will in 95% of cases end up dead

[mild venture]

ok ok thanks guys

[tepid arrow]

It do got rules actually

If you clip it they should get banned

But whether it’s enforced idk

[plucky tangle]

why is my connection so bad on tarkov today i cant even play

but its fine on other games??

it was working yesterday but now I cant even play

[mild venture]

well as per my experience from dying 2 times, the name that killed u shows right?

[versed valley]

check resource manager network tab to see if something is using your network on your pc

[tepid arrow]

It’s only bannable if it’s intentional. Accidental teamkills can and do happen

[plucky tangle]

its not everything is normal

I might have to reinstall

[dark forge]

my friend just got arena and he has the bug where its stuck on loading screen any idea how to fix

[versed valley]

not sure how a reinstall would help

[mild venture]

aight got it bro

[versed valley]

have you checked if ingame you get the same ping? its possible the server list is just bugged

[crude anvil]

Alt f4

[plucky tangle]

it kicks me out in game and when it kicks me out the ping resets

[mild venture]

but yea, quick question btw, for example my limbs are damaged but there are no icons, just 0/100, how do i heal it? like, what item?

[plucky tangle]

this is what happens when i play

[crude anvil]

surgery kit

[tepid arrow]

Cms or surv 12

Can’t heal thorax or head tho

[plucky tangle]

this game is tweaking rn i swear

[tepid arrow]

If you don’t have those you can mitigate the effects with a painkiller

[mild venture]

i see, thanks. sooooo, really need to bring surgery kits or same type right?

[tepid arrow]

If you have them, bring them in special slot

[mild venture]

ok ok ty!

[tepid arrow]

Otherwise get a shit ton of painkillers

[versed valley]

So it is a real issue with either game servers or your network in relation to game servers. Havent seen anything like this so I would suggest doing the usual like disabling ipv6.

But that mainly helps with compatibility not ping.

[plucky tangle]

it was working last night now its being dumb

😭
