does it really take 15 mins to load

i usually duo or trio and it finds it within 6-8 mins

[hybrid parcel]

so

[cloud basin]

7 min or 200 xp iirc

so u kill 1 scav and u can leave

[undone drum]

rep and intelligence center

no pmc skills

like charisma or something

[hybrid parcel]

My map takes a while to load. probably because I have it on my D drive and not my C drive, but my D drive had more space. So loading streets map takes like, 4 minutes on its own sometimes, sometimes i instantly match but then loading loot takes... another 3-5 minutes so

I think quickest was like, 8 minutes?

[cloud basin]

mb

[cloud basin]

is ur d drive an ssd or hdd

[manic sable]

i have a friend that has the game on a hdd

[undone drum]

dw

[hybrid parcel]

hdd

[cloud basin]

every1 in the lobby hates u

[jolly plover]

Not gonna kill anything, will wait it out, im well hidden

[hybrid parcel]

if its a scav it doesnt affect them tehe

[cloud basin]

partisans coming for you..

[dense island]

Is anyone still having chekcsum error day 5 no help from bsg

[cloud basin]

yh

[hybrid parcel]

but yeah pmcs hate to see me coming ill make u wait buddy

[cloud basin]

how big is tarkov

80gbs or smthing right?

[hybrid parcel]

yes

[cloud basin]

not horrendous in todays day and age

[hybrid parcel]

how long would it take me to move it and how easy is it to move

not like COD

[cloud basin]

i tried downloading warzone once and after the first 150gb of idk what it told me i have to download 150gb of warzone

and i just uninstalled the first part of whatever it installed

[cloud basin]

i wouldnt move it

id just uninstall and reinstall

[hybrid parcel]

UHG

that took forever

[cloud basin]

and that depends on ur internet speed

[hybrid parcel]

I just reinstalled it too and i kept running into issues (found out it was because i had it previously installed it on my c drive, so)

its funny how much I talk inthis chat with how many hours I have in this game

[cloud basin]

ngl dont use any sites, google has 1 built in if u type "speed test"

[jolly plover]

Who is he?

[cloud basin]

supposed anti-camp boss

[hybrid parcel]

doesn'ttarkov limit download speeds

[jolly plover]

No way

U kidding?

[tiny orbit]

I dont fine they do that

[cloud basin]

he roams around on a couple maps, targeting pmcs with low pmc karma (which u lose if u sit in bushes for a while, kill teammates and smthing else)

[tiny orbit]

I get 50MB/s+ when I download Tarkov outside of wipe day

[cloud basin]

hes pretty easy imo but he sets up tripwires which can give a heart attack

[cloud basin]

nuh uh

[hybrid parcel]

interesting

[cloud basin]

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

[cloud basin]

@jolly plover

[hybrid parcel]

still matching been waiting 10min

OMG i found one as soon as I said that

[cloud basin]

arma do yk if partisan acutally uses his ubgl

ive never seen him shoot it

[hybrid parcel]

my loot loading jumps to 30% fast... then drops back down to 4??

[jolly plover]

why theres no flare on courtyard?

there isnt nor red nor green

[cloud basin]

wdym

courtyard extract on streets?

[hybrid parcel]

isnt there only a green flare if its avail.

[jolly plover]

im in that extract, and theres no flare

[cloud basin]

so its closed

[jolly plover]

no way...

i truly dont know what to do

[hybrid parcel]

if its an extract with ??? and you don't see a green flare, or the paid vehicle is gone, then the extract is closed. if the extract is red with ??? that means it has been used

[cloud basin]

its a % chance at start of raid for it to be open

u cant open it urself

[hybrid parcel]

if you have to use it, just run naked raids so you don't lose a bunch of gear trying to extract there specifically

[cloud basin]

mp 443 grach runs my beloved

[hybrid parcel]

0 to hero runs

[undone drum]

do you have abandoned house as extract?

[hybrid parcel]

knife only sneak up on a scav BAM

[jolly plover]

been doing that for a long time and its the ony time i got near

[cloud basin]

fr
got an adar from a scav and got a pmc kill with that adar

[hybrid parcel]

BAHA i love that omg

[cloud basin]

didnt loot him tho cos it was at outskirts but he didnt seem to geared cos he was hiding at extract

prolly a steam timmy

[hybrid parcel]

or be like stankrat (??) and just bring in a nade, no knife, just a nade. a nade and a prayer

[cloud basin]

clean shot to the head

[cloud basin]

https://medal.tv/games/escape-from-tarkov/clips/lxWSENetqnHgOHr6H?invite=cr-MSx4cmMsMjI1NDc0NTM4&v=17

[hybrid parcel]

people have also told me to just wait in my spawn spot, hide somewhere ofc, wait until the shots either start up far away from you, or die down, whichever you decide is safer

[cloud basin]

on woods? just nades dont seem viable

[hybrid parcel]

tbf I think he did it on reserve near d1

it has taken me officially 4 minutes to load loot gg

[cloud basin]

where the hell is d1

[undone zenith]

if u camp d2 with an impact you deserve pain honestly

[hybrid parcel]

OH my bad d2

I havent been on reserve in forever

[cloud basin]

i kinda wanna do it to be on the other end of it
i got camped there once but after i shot towards his direction he just extracted lol

[hybrid parcel]

my late buddy would love doing nighttime reserve runs always swore by them. I got that gang on the streets grind because easy money

[cloud basin]

i love that map ngl

[hybrid parcel]

i only know streets and labsa

labs*

[cloud basin]

never been to labs ngl

only map ive never raided

[hybrid parcel]

i really only play it in pve now

[cloud basin]

keyless?

[manic sable]

i swear to fucking god

[foggy yarrow]

Is there someone who could help me do Gunsmith Part 3? It is literally the most frustrated I have been playing a game in my life. I have watched and read like 8-10 guides online and tried assembling the parts on 2x separate MP5s. It is unimagineable how frustrating it is trying to figure out the order to install parts.

[hybrid parcel]

no keycards????

[manic sable]

i suggest cehcking the tarkov wiki
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Gunsmith_-_Part_3

[cloud basin]

🤫

[foggy yarrow]

Yeah read through all of that and tried it all. Ty though 🙁

[undone zenith]

use the edit build menu

[manic sable]

show what you are trying to turn in

[undone zenith]

do you have a workbench in your hideout?

[foggy yarrow]

yes

[cloud basin]

im laughing at loki cos he said he never found a marked key in his 600 hrs of playing

[undone zenith]

yeah send a screenshot of your gun build

[cloud basin]

and i got 2 just this day alone

[undone zenith]

it's one of the less complicated gunsmith quests tbh

[foggy yarrow]

It's not even close to turn in frankly because the polymer handguard and the tri rail ring moutn wont go on the gun no matter what i do

[undone zenith]

send a screenshot of your gun

in the edit build menu

[hybrid parcel]

i remember one of ym first scav runs. a dude was like, here, check that jacket pocket (there was a marked key i was so excited) he was a nice guy

[manic sable]

on my first ever raid as a scav some dude dropped me a gpu, i still wodner if he was just being nice or if he was a cheater and saw that im brand new lmao

[foggy yarrow]

This is as close as I can get it and all the other parts just wont go anywher

[hybrid parcel]

are code papers valuable

just fdound one no idea what it is

[undone zenith]

you don't have the mp5sd upper receiver

[manic sable]

it needs to look like this

change the receiver at the bottom next to the mag and you will be able to adjust it to what you need

[tiny orbit]

They are for extracts. Cant be taken out of raid so hold no monetary value

[undone zenith]

you need to turn the mp5 into an mp5sd first

[foggy yarrow]

omg im so mad I changed the "mp5" to mp5 sd at the bototm and its

[hybrid parcel]

oh LOL i just dropped one for a nice scav man

[real crane]

why doesnt the game load everytime through steam, i feel like ive opened and cloesed it so many times and yet the launcher wont load

[green moon]

Anyone know what the blank RFID card is for

[undone zenith]

cuz the code for this game is spaghetti

[manic sable]

main story

[foggy yarrow]

tysm!

[green moon]

Ok ty

[cloud basin]

??codes

[red thistle]

Redeem your goodies -> https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/promo/activate (Or launcher -> your name -> activate code)
SBEUKOMAR | SCAVYBOI | GOONSQUAD |

SMELLOFNAPALM | SERVERMAN | CAMERAMOTOR

[undone zenith]

camera motor is new right

i have a feeling it's just a camera and a motor

[cloud basin]

yuh

[cloud basin]

🤫

[manic sable]

no its a ram stick and a psu

[cloud basin]

if only it gave a marked key

right loki?

[bold kernel]

WHY DOESN'T 6B47 ARTIC VARIANT COUNT FOR PUNISHER PART V???

[undone zenith]

cuz devs forgot

isn't that helmet cheap on prapor 2 tho

[bold kernel]

just typed in 6b47 and bought the first one i could find for the quest, got several kills on factory only to find none counted RIP

[undone drum]

always check tarkov wiki

tarkov wiki is sometimes even more correct then the game desctiption

[unreal kelp]

what you guys use to sacrfice

someone said 5 mp5

MP5 or MP5SD

[bold kernel]

5x regular mp5 from ll1 peacekeeper is fine

[undone drum]

do you have access to modified MPX from mechanic lvl 2?
2 of those is the cheapest

[unreal kelp]

where

this one ?

[covert nimbus]

whats up homies , i took a massive break from tarkov and now im back , is the best way to grind fence rep still vehicle extracts?

[undone drum]

nvm mechanic lvl 3
this bby girl:

[unreal kelp]

no sadly i dont

so is mp5sd the best option ?

[undone drum]

yeah

[unreal kelp]

orr normal mp5

[unreal kelp]

which sd or normal

[jolly plover]

What map should i go for the kill 5 scavs with aug task?

[undone drum]

2x mp5sd 1 flashdrive

[covert nimbus]

any you like in particular?

[covert nimbus]

learning where scavs spawn is important

[undone drum]

what map do you know best?

[covert nimbus]

so pick ur fav map or one you know a little

[jolly plover]

Interchangue and lighthouse

[covert nimbus]

interchange is great for scavs

[undone drum]

true

[jolly plover]

Where should i search? Because i already lost one of the augs and need to find 5 in one raid

[unreal kelp]

like that ?

[unreal kelp]

14 hours

idk the difference tbh between 6 and 14

but ig its good ? that its 14

[hybrid parcel]

gotta love dying 30 seconds into a shoreline raid

lol i love this game!!!

[jolly plover]

Is ground zero good for scavs? Was thinking of camping in a high pkace for 5 scavs

[stray rune]

right shoreline is the worse and the extracts are half way cross the mao

map

[hybrid parcel]

i keep spawning in village

pissed off i just need this fucking port terminal quest holy shit

[iron burrow]

wdym exaclty?

[hybrid parcel]

sweaty ass fucking chads running straight for other pmc spawn points

[jolly plover]

If a lot of scavs spawn, need to kill 5 with aug

[undone drum]

if you met the treshhold:
75% chance to get 14 hrs = valuable items
25% chance to get 6 hrs = quest items

14 hrs or 6 means u met the threshhold

[jolly plover]

Ye im sick of that, whenever i spawn i have to run away allway necause theres always a pmc coming to check spawns

[undone drum]

smart, this is the way

[hybrid parcel]

I literally had JUST spawned in and was already moving and bam.

[undone drum]

thats how you play tarkov: u mind the spawns.
fight them or avoid them, but mind them

[hybrid parcel]

i go for avoid personally

would also like if tarkov wouldnt spawn us all right on top of one another. this isnt the fucking hunger games

[iron burrow]

its fine
just go to the building i marked, you can look around from the third floor there

[undone drum]

thats why there is a timer at every raid start,
thats why game waits for every PMC and we all spawn together

[undone drum]

smart

[hybrid parcel]

yeah idk where he spawned but he beelined it lol

[undone drum]

u will learn with time

[hybrid parcel]

I guess I just need to start going prone if I spawn somewhere with high player traffic lol

wait a few minutes and then move

[undone drum]

u will learn with time where people spawn
and where to expect them in first 2 min

every death teaches u where to expect people at what time

[undone drum]

can be done too

[hidden seal]

dislike that as well. i do not want an arena duel game. would prefer meetings more by chance

[undone drum]

thats why i like playing scav: its all more random

[hybrid parcel]

I understand pvp is point of the game, but at least give us a fair chance to start the raid LOL

attempt number 3

how bad can this one go

dude

i spawned in the same spot

how do I even get to the shoreline from here

[dusk oxide]

are e drills supposed to be rarer then gpus? have searched tool boxes for 2 weeks and not one

needs sum fixin

[hidden seal]

build one

the hand drill right?

[dusk oxide]

no. electrical drill

[undone drum]

edrills are rare yes

[dusk oxide]

hand drills are 10x easier to find

[dusk oxide]

why

[hidden seal]

lol thay one i got at least 10 thus week

interchange hardware store

[dusk oxide]

pls go in my dms and show me where that is

i need series help rn 😭

[hidden seal]

in traffic now. but there are 2 good areas in interchange for tools

[undone drum]

ur fair chance is to study spawns, watch guides on a map
learn and repeat

analyse adapt overcome

[dusk oxide]

oh ok no worries

[hidden seal]

one inside mall other at far west

of map

[tepid arrow]

The big ass green bit called oli on the south/emercom side of the mall

[finite shale]

does anyone know why this happens? iv got space in my stash and my backpack is empty

[tepid arrow]

Is ur backpack big enough?

[finite shale]

its a raid backpack with nothing in it

its this task that i finished it seems like but i cant claim it from him

[tepid arrow]

Could it be trying to put it in your rig? Maybe toss it

[finite shale]

nvm i just saw it i need room for special slot

lemme just shove ou tmy surv12 out

[dusk oxide]

praying that ill get an e drill rn

is it on shelfs?

[tepid arrow]

Can be yeah

[dusk oxide]

is it rly rarer then gpus tho? bc i feel like it is

[tepid arrow]

Just look all over really

[dusk oxide]

ok

[tepid arrow]

I mean I found 2 yesterday :p

No gpu’s yesterday

[hybrid parcel]

ok

thats it i give up holy shit

[dusk oxide]

pls tell me were and if u found em in containers or not

[hidden seal]

no no. I found 2 Gpu since 1.0 and easily 10-12 drills

[hybrid parcel]

fuck this stupid game having all of the damn maps locked piece of shit

[hidden seal]

i leave them behind frequently

[tepid arrow]

I found one as a static spawn, other was in a tech crate

[dusk oxide]

wow

[dusk oxide]

how does a tech crate look like

[tepid arrow]

I would focus on your task stuff and loot on the way

[tepid arrow]

The big ass crates that can be either medical, technical, or ration

[dusk oxide]

ok

[hidden seal]

all pver thay store. on the far west of the mao in the scav base, is usuallt around the trucks

there is a spot that every dingle time i went there, there are 2 tools of random type

[fiery moat]

i've already mastered every single pixel of ground zero now, can anyone suggest me another map that i can use as my main map when im going for loot and not tasks

[hidden seal]

all others

gz not high on loot comparatively

[fiery moat]

ah yes factory terminal lighthouse and labs, definitely a good location to play 24 7

[tepid arrow]

Customs has been treating me nice recently

I got reshala’s key and 1st open got me 2 bitcoins

[bold kernel]

Does anyone know where's best to find the green lithium batteries for the Lvl 3 rest upgrade?

[fiery moat]

i also kinda wanna switch to customs OR interchange as i pretty much learned customs since i spawned there for the 20th time for quests

[tepid arrow]

I can’t confirm as I don’t play interchange much but I’ve not heard good things

Particularly with snipers

And running into killa with shit gear

[fiery moat]

thats the reason. sucks that its made as a "beginner map" i like it pretty much except for the dogshit spawns that are 3 seconds away from each other

[dusk oxide]

am finding these like all the time. no drills tho ever

[fiery moat]

keep that toolset u'll need it

[tepid arrow]

You’ll get some eventually, it just takes time

[hidden seal]

game likes to troll people. ad soon as you find 1, you will find 4

[bold kernel]

Its what I am looking for. I always walked past them. DOzens of them. Now I need one? Never

[fiery moat]

well i also didnt play it too much, just did the quest "survive from interchange" in my first hours and never went there again xd

[tepid arrow]

That’s why I’d suggest you do tasks instead and loot secondarily

[granite geyser]

I have tried surviving interchange 5 times now only to get my head taken off by a dude camping extracts

[tepid arrow]

Idk if it’s still like it but my 1st raid at the bear camp gave me 2 ledx’s and a defib

[fiery moat]

i wonder how is the interchange by means of loot tho

[tepid arrow]

Set me up p good

[bleak oak]

Best way to get COFDM's?

[tepid arrow]

Lighthouse

[dusk oxide]

DUDE

[tepid arrow]

Pestilly has a video on it that got me one p much immediately

[dusk oxide]

fuhj

[fiery moat]

i always prefer transits when theres a tasks that involves extracting

[fiery moat]

THAT BULBEX KEEP IT

and relay

[dusk oxide]

ik

[fiery moat]

i had 4 drills and 6 hand drills before i got a bulbex

[dusk oxide]

the thing is i got my hideout upgraded somewhat. its just the drills

[tepid arrow]

Do yo tasks

Drills will come in time

[dusk oxide]

i do gunsmith bc ik the give sum

[tepid arrow]

As long as you keep checking potential spawns

[silk karma]

i just took a transit cuz there was 1 min left on my raid

and im stuck on preparing for game

what does this mean

😭😭😭😭

[undone zenith]

i scav for all my hideout barter items i need

[dusk oxide]

same

[fiery moat]

just alt f4?

alt f4 in transit if u dont wanna go to a new map

it doesnt give xp but it counts as extract, your items will be found in raid and you will count as extracted hence your profile stat will show

[granite geyser]

transit?

[fiery moat]

u can extract from them straight up

[granite geyser]

what does that even mean

[fiery moat]

there are transit zones in the game literally

[granite geyser]

ok im new, what is a transit zone

[fiery moat]

unlike extracts which change depending on your spawn, your transits will always be the same ones in the map

[fiery moat]

literally extracts but they send you to another map

instead of ending the raid

u continue to raid another map

[granite geyser]

how is that better

[fiery moat]

i literally explained that right above dude omg

lemme explain again

if people are camping extracts, u can just take transits

no one camps transits, maybe 1 or 2 ppl in the entire world of 8 billion

just extract from there and alt f4 in the loading screen and reboot the game

u wont get xp but u will extract

thats some shi i found out in my first hour of the game when i couldnt find an extract and didnt wanna lose my loot so i did that on transit out of fear

[onyx arch]

i have a question: if you buy unheard Edition, is it permament status or just for some limited time?

[fiery moat]

permanent

[analog brook]

permanent

[fiery moat]

even after wipes u still get the bonus stash capacity, the upgraded container and the enriched starter pack in your inventory

[analog brook]

any 'wipe' you will get the equipment again, and all the other perks are account based

[onyx arch]

then why it show Standard Edition even tho i bought Unheard?

[analog brook]

are you on steam or are you using the BSG launcher from the site?

[onyx arch]

bsg launcher

and bought from official website

[analog brook]

how long ago did you get Unheard?

[onyx arch]

since the 1.0 launch

[analog brook]

and you are using the same account, Email, Username etc.

[onyx arch]

correct

[undone zenith]

how much did it make you pay for unheard

and what edition did you have before getting unheard

[onyx arch]

if im not mistaken it was 99$

before it was just a game nothing else

[undone zenith]

so you had standard before?

[scenic lake]

you bought the unheard edtion for 100 dollars?

[undone zenith]

with the 2x2 alpha container?

[onyx arch]

3x3 container

[undone zenith]

ok so you had eod then

not standard

[onyx arch]

it was pre launch price i think

[scenic lake]

unheard never costed 100 dollars

[onyx arch]

im just wondering why it shows standard edition and not unheard even tho i got everything from Unheard edition

[analog brook]

With a 3x3 container and going to Unheard for 99, def sounds like you had EOD before, either way it should be a instant upgrade

[scenic lake]

i have eod and i would need to pay 47.5$ for unheard

[analog brook]

I had to pay about 100 bet that was pre 1.0

[wary totem]

Does anyone have an answer as to why my game Is stuttering when I shoot full auto guns??

[tepid arrow]

What’s ur ram? I don’t know why but I think that’s related

[wary totem]

I have 32gb ram with 3200mhz and 4gb VRAM and tarkov is not on an SSD

[tepid arrow]

Or could be

[analog brook]

Yeah I see its on sale right now, seems like from standard to uheard it should be around $145 to upgrade

[wary totem]

Thats what i thought it was too but then i upgraded

[undone zenith]

4gb vram and hard drive might be your problems

[analog brook]

The game is CPU heavy over GPU too and a SSD would help but I don't think thats the issue

[undone zenith]

tarkov really needs 8gb bare minimum and an ssd to even begin to run fine

[wary totem]

Hard Drive? what could be wrong with that? oh just because its not on an SSD

[analog brook]

Read speed

[wary totem]

Oh i c i c

thank you for the info

[analog brook]

it will have better performance, not ground breaking going from a HDD to a SSD

[wary totem]

but nonetheless

[analog brook]

and with the people I play with about ~5 to 10 minutes faster to load into raid which is very nice

[wary totem]

still a better idea for SSD okok and at least 8gb VRAM

[jolly hill]

i have this issue too but it’s bc i have a shit pc 🤣

what are your specs abdul?

[analog brook]

I used to have a stutter on my old pc but that was just the first shot I fired of the raid

[jolly hill]

is a ryzen 5 7500x3d and a radeon 9060xt 16gb version good specs to run tarkov?

[dusk oxide]

YES

[wary totem]

i got a I9 cpu and I have 32gb ram with 3200mhz and 4gb VRAM (AMD XFX 6500XT) Z490 MPG motherboard

[jolly hill]

mhhh

[wary totem]

it might be the vram and the SSD problem

but this was also a new problem kinda after i replaced my ram with the new 32 cards

[tepid arrow]

Hell yeah playa good shit

[undone zenith]

that's great

[undone zenith]

which i9

[wary totem]

lemme see

[dusk oxide]

they need to fix the rarity tho. they are way to rare for what they are

[undone zenith]

i9 means nothing tbh because you could be talking about a 9900k or a 14900ks and they're both i9s

[jolly hill]

shady bc i’ve been looking to upgrade. the i5 9400f and the 2060 barely runs ts anymore 😭 im on tops 35 fps on streets

[undone zenith]

that gpu is really weak

[tepid arrow]

:p I’m stuck looking for some h2o2

Been 4 raids without finding one

[jolly hill]

flee kass?

[undone zenith]

yeah that build is really solid

[tepid arrow]

Not high enough level

[undone zenith]

i have a 7600x3d and 6700xt

and the game runs great at 1440p medium

[jolly hill]

how does your fps run in game

[undone zenith]

80 fps on streets

[wary totem]

CPU
Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900F CPU
@ 2.80GHz 10 Cores

[jolly hill]

thanks

[undone zenith]

the clock speed on that is really low but it's fine

it's probably a gpu issue tbh

the vram is low and the raw performance is poor

[wary totem]

okokok so better GPU and SSD

good Christmas List

[analog brook]

Make sure everything is low, shadows off etc

[wary totem]

santa i would love a 4090

[analog brook]

I run low and all that on a 4080S

[wary totem]

ive found i get more FPS with medium texture Quality

[undone zenith]

i would turn that down

[twilit charm]

Is pve 10% off? cause of tha announcement

[undone zenith]

textures exclusively affect vram

[analog brook]

also any Fram Gen you are able to run on AMD or if you get a Nvidia helps a lot too, dlss but there is a bug with DLSS and scopes rn

[undone zenith]

and 4gb is not a lot

[undone zenith]

6500xt doesn't have the vram for that

[wary totem]

Really?? i swear it gives me like 50+ fps from 45

[undone zenith]

yeah but the vram buffer will fill up much more quickly

especially on a big map like woods or shoreline or streets

[wary totem]

i have that all off cuz it never helped

[undone zenith]

running out of vram leads to massive stutters

[analog brook]

Game also runs slower and slower the longer you play

[wary totem]

ah i c i c

[undone zenith]

this as well

[wary totem]

ok that makes more sense so just low would be good

[undone zenith]

something something spaghetti code

[undone zenith]

yeah

[wary totem]

okok thank you for the help i appreciate it tbh

is there any more settings tip for a little dumb idiot like me

[undone zenith]

all of the options at the bottom of the graphics menu should be off

all of those little tick boxes like z blur

[sly sandal]

looking for help, have about 5 hours on game, previously played extraction shooters like lost light and a good bit of arc raiders, trying to understand the ropes of tarkov. anyone able to explain the DOs and DONTs?

[undone zenith]

don't play this game

[analog brook]

Will make it easier to see people as well

[undone zenith]

but seriously don't expect this game to be nearly as friendly as arc

everybody is shoot on sight in this game not like arc at all

[granite geyser]

pretty successful scav run on streets, a 4 man killed the guards and boss and i swooped in and slurped up that loot

[wary totem]

entirely dependent on PVE or PVP mode

[undone zenith]

what ammo in the pk

[analog brook]

Paitence, you don't need to take every fight, pick your fights, running is always a option

[sly sandal]

understand that, enjoy the realism this has compared to ARC

[undone zenith]

yeah a lot of gunfights are avoidable

avoid solo fighting groups

[analog brook]

Bots have aimbot

[undone zenith]

if you see anyone that looks actually tacticool run far away

your ammo probably won't do anything to them

[granite geyser]

looks like it was all fmj

[undone zenith]

like a kettle against arc

[twin hound]

hello. is there a way to know your email from your steam tarkov account? i tried to log out from the launcher and when i ask the launcher to logout it just closes the launcher and when i press play again on steam the laucher is already logged on

im missing the twtch drops thanks to this since i dont know which email i used

so i cant link my account to twitch

[uncut trail]

If anyone has a kotton beanie on their scav can you message me

[prisma temple]

[idle smelt]

Any 3d processor really games cpu dependant and you got a good card too so yea

[granite geyser]

so, apparently people love camping the emercom checkpoint on the first map

killed 2 people with an uzi i found and then got rushed by a couch backpack

how do i unlock factory?

i got the map for it from therapist for doing her quest, now she wants salewas

[prisma temple]

just continue doing the Tour quest and it'll unlock along with the rest

[bitter verge]

gz is such a trash map holy shit player count needs to be halved

wrong chat

[granite geyser]

as someone who just had to run it 9 times to get to the emercom station for the first therapist quest because everyone and their god damn mother fights over that spot

i agree with you

this last time i just waited until the last 2 minutes of the raid and ran into there to get the task done

[pliant kestrel]

Hi would anyone like to help a newbie?

[short bay]

factory is 10 times worse

gz is a breeze compared

[bitter verge]

hard disagree

[short bay]

i dont even know why factory exists its basically a rush fest or camp fest, depending on the gear

[twin hound]

all email accounts i have and i logged in on the bsg website says i dont own tarkov . the steam launcher should have to log out so i could see the last email used or test other emails. but it doesnt

[twilit charm]

[hybrid parcel]

login on the website and it gives you the discount through your account

[marsh helm]

I already did it, but it still shows up as 50 and when I click buy it doesn't give a discount

[hybrid parcel]

the upgrade is 50 to get unheard

that is with the discount then

[astral glen]

Edge of Darkness to Unheard upgrade has a 50% discount

This doesn't stack with other sales

[unborn spindle]

[unborn spindle]

U can find them in draws too

[silk garnet]

[granite geyser]

[unborn spindle]

Quest line isnt too bad tbf

For reserve.

Its to slow progresson

[granite geyser]

homie, in 30 raids i have come across 1 fly hacker, 3 speed hackers, and a kid who was calling out my name in game because he was blatantly ESP'ing. my GAF for this game is about to disappear

[mental crescent]

?

[unborn spindle]

Only in NA ngl. Ive probably came across less that 10 cheaters in my 350ish raids

15 MAX

@granite geyser try different regions if ur ping allows it

[lime granite]

photo for reference (or example), im trying to buy all items needed for crafting all at the same time, the crackers from therapist ran out so naturally its not available anymore, but the listing doesnt automatically list players selling crackers (which is available for me to buy), i have to separately buy the crackers , anybody know what settings i need to change? same issue goes with gun parts,

[silk garnet]

Finaly after 3 days loking for salt

Ty

[unborn spindle]

Typically theres a couple things on top that u can X out which allows player listing

[unborn spindle]

No problem spider man

[misty moon]

is a hexgrid worth wearing or should i put it on the flea? doesnt seem to provide much surface area protecton

[rough turtle]

How hard is light house to learn

[granite geyser]

whats the point of this

how do i hand in the items to skier, ive got like 40 items and he only wants 5

[raven aspen]

you have to visit him

[granite geyser]

oh ffs

[raven aspen]

yee

[granite geyser]

first time playing in 4 years

[lusty willow]

it breaks armor fast and easy

[raven aspen]

i think all main story turn ins have to done by visitng them

[lusty willow]

there are quests to bring damaged arfmor

[latent prairie]

ive did this still doing it every day bro i keep gettig moonshines

[hasty delta]

What am i not understadnig about the new first story quest. I have to extract on a map besides ground zero which means the extract will almost always be camped by some maxed out armor and and ammo sweat. its crazy hard to do that with starter gear. it seems like you have to get through that quest to open up the game now? i literally cant buy any weapons until i get through that quest and open up the traders. why did they do this?

i literally snuck up on him unloaded half a clip and still barely hurt the dude and he turned around and one shot me. why in the world is that the first quest?

[granite geyser]

because for whatever reason they want everyone to experience every map

but make the progression for doing so related to very specific things

so people know where to camp

[hasty delta]

i just cant understand why its the first dame quest. let me at least able to buy weapons. i thought i could get the quest extracting as a scav but it didnt work. i was able to get out as scav once. do you have to pay the 250k first now?

[unborn spindle]

theres separate q for lower level players

[crisp crane]

im having a hard time finding extracts i be lost af

[granite geyser]

homie im level 5 queuing into players 25+

[unborn spindle]

use the wiki map

[granite geyser]

my literal 3rd raid was into a meta M4 with killa helmet and armor ive never seen before that had 6000 hours

[crisp crane]

i am enjoying the game even tho i cant find one haha

[hasty delta]

oh ok. I don't know how this dude had crazy armor already but ill keep trying. i just cant buy anything now so its throwing me off.

[hasty delta]

open up the wiki and do the practice until you find the extracts. thats the hardest part at first.

[unborn spindle]

R u solo q?

[stray rune]

wth do i do when i run out of money and keep dying as a scav😂

[astral glen]

You can get gear without buying it, Tagilla is 75% right now, you can kill him and suddenly you have good ammo, armour and a helmet, I know that’s not exactly useful for a new player but anyone with a bit of experience can just go and kill him for a kit

And that’s just one example, there’s a dozen bosses in the game and many other AI with good gear

And you can just loot it all too in containers

[hasty delta]

oh ok. so they want you to get it from the map to start and not just do cheap budget buy kits.

[granite geyser]

i got one streets raid where i killed all the guards and the raid boss and now i got enough gear to last me about 5/6 raids lol

[astral glen]

I mean I was wearing class 6 armour on my second raid this wipe

[unborn spindle]

I got marked key on 1st raid of wipe. Sof you can guess how the rest of my wipe went

[astral glen]

Experienced players are going to just have an easier time, it’s not the type of game where a beginner is going to have a smooth ride learning

You’re going to struggle and suffer

The earlier you accept that the easier the growing pains will be

[unborn spindle]

Also if u die to a 'chad' and ur running a starter kit. Expect to see that back in ur insurance. I dont bother picking up gun no worth using or selling

[unborn spindle]

Speaking of big tagilla. Need to farm bro his helmet is pretty nice for labs

[astral glen]

I’m certain it’s bugged right now, I’ve been dying head_nape alot even though I got shot in the face

Doesn’t seem to happen when I run other helmets

[unborn spindle]

Saved me a couple times

So sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit

[astral glen]

That’s not what I’m talking about

[hasty delta]

Dang man. im probably going to have a slightly different experience haha. ill figure it out. only played a bit like 3 years ago and its a little different now but might be better. i completely had the drop on that dude too. 2 min to go at extract he didnt even see me. He was trying to camp it, then I lit him up and he just calmly turned around and one shot me. haha. not how i thought it was gonna go.

[astral glen]

Head_nape is the hitbox in the back of your head, but you’ll die to that hitbox when shot from the front, that shouldn’t be happening, but it happens a lot when wearing the Tagilla mask

[prime sapphire]

Happens from pen no? They pen your neck and hit the head nape hitbox for kill?

[coral osprey]

Are you able to upgrade your eft version that you bought on steam from the prepare for escpae edition to the unheard version even if you only have it on steam?

[astral glen]

Yes, log into the linked battlestate games account on the website and you can upgrade from there

[prime sapphire]

Any bosses are great for farming rn. You can get competitive armor and ammo as early as level 1. Just run some raids with people who know how to farm them and they can show you the ropes. It's pretty easy once you know the tricks.

Goons for instance are terrifying if ya in the open but if you aggro them then hunker down and bring em to you they are as easy to kill as normal scavs.

[unreal kelp]

help me with attachaments 😄 | SR-25

[hasty delta]

👍

So has anyone confirmed if you can extract for the first quest in interchange as scav or no? it didnt work for me but will it if i pay the $250k first?

[gray adder]

for this quest can i have night vision on me helmet and just put them up or would i need to taek it all the way off

also second question doing this on customes is there a high chance of cultest rn?

[lost jewel]

anyone got a gym?

[raw plinth]

hello, looking for some help running a few quests and finding some decent loot routes. me and my cousin have basic map and quest knowledge, but i suck at pvp.

[distant current]

[civic leaf]

Does anyone know a cheap kit i can buy

[distant current]

this challenge is EVIL 😭, im not even done with tour yet and already having trouble completing missions IN PVE XD

[distant current]

[rare nova]

Cool give me a few minutes to finish up what I’m doing n I’ll give yall a dm

[lost jewel]

bet

[distant current]

ok bet

[civic leaf]

Just not overly expensive

[lost jewel]

my main rifle is pretty kitted out from the stuff Ive found in raids but you can buy and build a cheap AK with decent ergo/recoil/etc

[steel grove]

Get an mxlr with some shitty scope, sit on the rafters in factory. Snipe some poor guy just minding his own business and take his kit

[lost jewel]

I ran out of BP sadly but this is what Im rocking

[rough turtle]

Is there a way i can reskin my weapon so it looks the same color

[gray adder]

in EFT no

arena i think?

[distant current]

guys, should i be using this, or my Scar-H?

[civic leaf]

Should I go naked with just the gun or what

[gray adder]

u can buy the same color for your stuff tho

and no the marlin is shit till u get the good ammo

[steel grove]

Headset maybe, rats need their ears

[gray adder]

u want real cheap

double barrel with AP20

2 round if u die who cares if not double stuf him and insta kill almos anything

[distant current]

what do all those shields mean

[gray adder]

insurance

[steel grove]

Isnt ap20 locked behind t3 traders too

[gray adder]

flashit then

or perana

[lost jewel]

it's insured

[distant current]

oooh, is it worth it to insure?

[civic leaf]

Uh where do i buy an mxlr im o ly level 5

[gray adder]

usaly

[granite geyser]

so, i didnt shoot tagilla, didnt do nothing to him but exist, and for some reason every scav in the world aggrod to my p-scav, why?

[gray adder]

u cant

level 2 yager and then level3 macanic for good ammo

[lost jewel]

some dont bother wasting money on insuring it since the ones that argue are typically extremely good at this game

[gray adder]

bosses hate u till 6.0 scav rep

[lost jewel]

I insure it since gear fear is forever implanted into my brain lol

[gray adder]

then they dont

[distant current]

oh ok

[distant current]

anyone have an answer for this?

[gray adder]

not worth unoless u got buddys most the temi

[gray adder]

what ever gun u want tbh

there both valid

[distant current]

ok

[civic leaf]

What to buy instead then

[lost jewel]

I would say the sr25 is better since its more customizable

[distant current]

any idea what i can add to it at lvl 7 with only some of the traders unlocked and LL 1 on them XD

[lost jewel]

do some rat runs. loot pmc's and treat that sr25 like a lego set haha

Im only level 8

[civic leaf]

@steel grove what rat guns that I can buy are good?

[gray adder]

u want good or a rat kit u can sit in a corner and try and kill someon

bc keders good and if u bought the looser unheard adition u can smack mags in your pockets

[civic leaf]

Ok do i just use whatever gun thats cheap the

[lost jewel]

$150 for the unheard...

[steel grove]

Kedr, mosin if you can aim, any semi auto shotgun can work well too

[gray adder]

its 250 buddy lmao

[lost jewel]

do you have 5.45x39 BP ammo?

[lost jewel]

off sale it is yes

[gray adder]

and yes keder is good it eats ppls knee caps

[gray adder]

still the cringe addition

idk why icalled u buddy more passive agresive then i wanted lol

[lost jewel]

I fully agree. I have the base version since Im not a soy boy

it's fine. I'm not bothered by it

[gray adder]

lmao i have EOD so i shilled some money but with 3K hours i think its fine

[civic leaf]

Yes alot of it

[lost jewel]

I really did not want to have to pay the extra 30 for pve but with all they have done to the game I got curious

[lost jewel]

perfect. grab an aks-74u or hell any 5.45x39 ak

[civic leaf]

Ok

[lost jewel]

factory is easiest for me at least but go into practice mode until you memorize the exits. there are plenty of tutorial vids on youtube that shows in full detail where its all at

[civic leaf]

I have a map open on any map im on cause I have a second monitor

[lost jewel]

perfect then. that bp ammo will get you to where Im at pretty easily

if its a scav you are fighting center mass wont be a problem but if its a pmc try aiming for legs

[granite geyser]

its time for my revenge

[lost jewel]

[granite geyser]

i got extract camped 5 factory runs in a row

[civic leaf]

What armour and stuff

[stone tulip]

amazing

[lost jewel]

what do you hav available kdog?

bro really went back to germany for this raid

[civic leaf]

Um level 1 traders and only therapist,fence,skier,mechanic and ragman

[granite geyser]

listen if im not stacking germans like sandbags, what am i even doing here

[lost jewel]

ah then just whatever you got then

play it safe though dont push too aggressively look for their arms and legs poking out. they dont typically move or make sound unless you are chucking grenades or they are engaging other pmcs

and... try to avoid going into the mall.. the duo that resides there are quite relentless

[civic leaf]

Ok ill try not to die

Is three am a bad time to load in also how do I up my gamma to avoid needing nvgs

[granite geyser]

I KILLED A HACKER

[civic leaf]

W

[granite geyser]

dude was blatantly walling xD he called me out by fucking name

[lost jewel]

Theres a lot of different programs but not many settings. 0700 is a good time

[granite geyser]

had to extract because the fucking horde of player scavs that decended on me lol

grabbed the hackers uber kitted Mk47 and mp155 and booked it

so is walling just a common thing now

because i remember how it was 4 years ago

and this is like the 3rd or 4th kid to call me out by name in game

[dire monolith]

Are you sure you didn’t just kill his teammate and he saw your name from that

[granite geyser]

look at time of death

the first bear was a dude trying to get pistol kills

they spawned gate 0

[dire monolith]

I’ll take your word for it

[lost jewel]

Welp. I just died to tagilla after mag dumping him with 7.62x39 BP .^.

[granite geyser]

unless their buddy spawned across the map from them

[granite geyser]

and I quote "Hey bitch boy (insert my name), drop the ppsh and extract already"

i went 8 minutes without moving

[dire monolith]

What servers you play on, people in mine dont even voip

[granite geyser]

NA - chicago i believe is what im on

midwest to east coast

[civic leaf]

I heard fucjing tagills

[dire monolith]

Same servers I wish I had voipers in my game, but not hacking voipers

[civic leaf]

I heard him hell

Fuck bro

I l9ve when tarkov just don't respond and now i can't find out what it got fucking murdered by cause of some bullshit

Fuck it im doing a scav raid

[granite geyser]

uh... i just found a red keycard on tagilla as a scav

[civic leaf]

Damn lucky

[granite geyser]

there was a dead pmc like 10 feet from him, looted him and it was just there

im level 4, what do i do with this thing

[civic leaf]

I killed a player scav and just then as a scav and found a red flare

Kn him

[median relic]

you wont be able to sell it on the flea for quite a while.

i would guess you are a new player?
then i would most likly sell it to therapist.
Its one of the rarest keycards in whole Tarkov but looting it is a tough pathway

you need to go to the map labs, for which you need a labs access card, and red is one of te main rooms people fight over

[granite geyser]

sounds like this is staying in my stash until 15

i despise labs, i played years ago, but a lot of this is new to me due to the changes made to the game

[median relic]

yea i am not sure if you can sell red at lvl 15 or its lvl 30

[granite geyser]

like even factory is wildly different

[median relic]

thats why selling it to therapist for money is worth a thought as well

you most likly can benefit more from the money now

[granite geyser]

you're probably right

[vague orchid]

fucking spawn in to reserve, get shots at imeadtly by what I assume is a scav after leaving my spawn, then gets grenaded. Post raid fucking ghlukar guard

[granite geyser]

rashala is on reserve?

i thought gluhar was on reserve

[vague orchid]

gluhar

sorry mixed up my bosses. I am just so used to typing rashala

[granite geyser]

so is there like increased boss spawning chances right now

i swear tagilla is in 80% of my factory runs

[vague orchid]

yes it is 75% spawn rate, feels like 100

[granite geyser]

is there like a ptach note that shows boss spawn rates

[vague orchid]

nope don't think so

[granite geyser]

then where is the 75% spawn rate coming from

[prime sapphire]

Bosses are 75% they said it at day 1 of wipe. Cultists and goons are like 40% ish

[tribal rock]

whats up with gear in arena? i just started and i feel like i get 2 tapped to the chest by everything, but I need like 5 or 6 shots. what gives? can you just buy class 6 armour?

[prime sapphire]

Ask in the arena disc

[tribal rock]

theres a seperate discord for arena? lmao thats so weird

[granite geyser]

theres gonna be wipes even on full release?

[tribal rock]

why they decided to market them as 2 different games is such a fuck up

[prime sapphire]

Not for these characters.

[prime sapphire]

They are 2 completely seperate games.

[tribal rock]

escape from tarkov, and escape from tarkov arena. its a glorified dlc, damn near just another mode for eft lol i feel like thats why no one plays it it gets no exposure

[prime sapphire]

Nah its not a glorified dlc. Its a whole seperate game that has nothing to do with tarkov and that 50% of the player base have 0 interest in playing.

Its a tarkov COD clone. For a game that was never meant to (nor has the ability to) play like COD.

[granite geyser]

pvp right?

[prime sapphire]

There will be wiping characters on PVP eventually. The ones we are playing rn are permanent

[median relic]

yea it seems like listing red would be lvl 30 for flea, so you will be better with therapist

[hasty delta]

So with the new start, you cant buy any guns, if you run out of weapons and cant buy weapons to even kill a scav the game basically ends for you. this no trader thing kinda sucks for solo players.

[median relic]

cultist are 20% sadly, i want more cultists 🙁

[median relic]

where are you stuck?

you unlock traders within your first few raids

not all but the majority

[half wedge]

looking for someone to teach me the game. DM me

[median relic]

#sherpa-info Sherpas are an option if you got the patience for it. The sherpa program always is closed earlywipe so the sherpas can gear up a bit. WIll open within the next two weeks

[worldly igloo]

lvl 30

[hasty delta]

you have to extract from interchange first to unlock traders now i think. im just annoyed i cant buy guns now. seems really dumb. just going to run through it naked 50 times so i dont lose my guns i guess.

[worldly igloo]

oh you already said it

myb

[median relic]

yea it alr i wasnt sure

[half wedge]

thank you, but if anyone is willing to help a noobie learn a bit just message me! i have tmr off

[median relic]

yea you are stuck at scav gear or fance if you cant make it though inter thats right

[median relic]

sure sure you should also check #pvp-lfg you might have more luck there finding someone experienced

[half wedge]

sent out a mesage already there, thanks for the sherpa invite brotha

what does sherpa mean?

[median relic]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/news/id/345
here you can read it up more in detail but basicly experienced players from the community helping out players with the need

[elder maple]

can I play tarkov if I only buy it on steam? or I also need to buy it from website? its cheaper on steam

[hasty delta]

Cant fence until 15 either but ill get this eventually theyre just trolling us like always.

[half wedge]

i wish there was a real tutorial instead of some fuckass first mission that doesnt teach anything, i run into one real person every game n jus get blicked down instantly

[median relic]

you can ply it while only buying it on steam

but you still need to make a account on the website (not purchase just creating the account)

[hasty delta]

i am incorrect. it unlocks fence also when you get skier.

[median relic]

hmm i thought you have fence from the start

[half wedge]

question for ya... is it worth it to unlock the PVE version as a beginner?

like what is it, the 30$ pack?

[median relic]

tough question.
I consider pve horrible and boring. But its arguably a great place to learn tarkov against AI

If you are new to tarkov and only got very limited time in a day to learn the game, i guess pve would be better for you to learn the major game

[half wedge]

i would assume for ppl who know what they are doing, super boring but for someone who has no clue and has to use a map for extractions? lol im debating buying it tmr so i can learn

[lusty panther]

knowledge is half the game pve will teach you the core mechanics of the game without the high risk/high reward gameplay

[median relic]

but if you have the time, pvp is the real shit with constant adrenalin rushes 😄

[half wedge]

but i have a buddy at work that has 2400 hours.. said hed teach me but

sick, thanks for the info

[lusty panther]

pve is for larpers pvp mode is for gamers

[median relic]

@half wedge there are streamers that only stream tarkov PVE, you might find a different POV if you ask them.

[median relic]

this just tells me you are quite young 😄 with my job atm i couldnt not mange to learn tarkov in time

[half wedge]

bro, i had a bunch of shi n i was tryna get to extract.... had 0 idea where i was. got one tapped by a sniper haha

right in the noggin

[sly jolt]

Which map spawns with a lot of grenade boxes? I need a TnT Brick and I cannot find one more

[median relic]

do factory scavs and loot the underground water area

easy quick scav runs

[sly jolt]

I've been trying interchange's parking lot, looted like 6-7 grenade boxes but nothing

[median relic]

unlucky

[jolly plover]

anyone knows why my antivirus locks me out of the tarkov wiki?

[vernal elbow]

I think a few people have been having that for the past two days, idk why

[upbeat crest]

what does this error mean?

i restarted pc already

[prime sapphire]

Do you know goon rate? Is it 20% or 40%?

[crimson thicket]

cloudflare is DOWN

[prime sapphire]

Tarkov is down rn. Cloudflare issue

[upbeat crest]

lmao no way

hahaha alright

[jolly plover]

in cloudfare web says its maintanance, it will last 4h

[latent prairie]

even the fkng website down

[crimson thicket]

yes, its cloudflare. see above.

[latent prairie]

mb gng idk what that means

[crimson thicket]

it means half the internet is currently down

[latent prairie]

everyone on twitch

is still playing

[upbeat crest]

@latent prairie its back up

[latent prairie]

thaks bro

[upbeat crest]

npp

[north sleet]

Alright so I have tried looking around and for t2 traders which I have unlocked, whats the best go to reflex sight I can buy? The only ones I buy are MRS for regular scopes just putting them on and Kobra for weird ones where you have to use a side mount thingy. Are there any better ones? I know the holographic sights are better but I dont have them unlocked yet (+ they are kind of expensive?).

[random quail]

run some smaller maps and try to get kills if u cant fit the weapon just take attachments like sights and if u got peacekeeper l2 u can barter a crowbar for a specter sight

[sly jolt]

Does Create a Distraction Part 1 need to have found in raid TnT bricks? or it doesn't matter?

[muted eagle]

doesnt matter

[random quail]

no

[sly jolt]

i need 1 more tnt brick and I've been searching for like 2 hours for one smh

[muted eagle]

search grenade cases, best chances for one

[sly jolt]

i've been doing that the past 2 hours

[random quail]

run the new area on interchange it has a decent spawn chance

[sly jolt]

I found more fuzes than I'll ever need in this life

[sly jolt]

I've been spamming the parking lot

[north sleet]

Huh? Alright so can you explain what you meant by this entire first part of your sentence. Also specter sight is a 4x/1x and at t2 i can only barter for a crowbar which is 80k roubles

[random quail]

that is good but the tents near the new flare extract has given me like 5

[sly jolt]

imma try one more run, if I still don't find 1, Imma cry

[random quail]

check the med tents aswell got 4 ledx and 2 gpu there already

[random quail]

crowbars can be on some scavs so you need to loot them

[north sleet]

yeah i know but i can also just barter them for 80k

[random quail]

as for the first part if u inspect a enemy weapon in raid u can take of attachments which i almost always do with scopes and some grips

[random quail]

80k isnt that much and early u have 0 way of getting decent zoom scopes as they are locked at high lvl flea

if ur looking for money crowbars arent the wayy to go

[north sleet]

bravo4 is legit one of the best scopes if not the best scope in the game for general use and its a 30k barter (+12k for dp) so idk what you are smoking and also i asked for reflex sights not zoom scopes

[random quail]

4x30 tf u mean general use

[north sleet]

what do you think those numbers mean do you think bravo4 is a 4x and 30x magnification scope?

[median relic]

bravo 4 O.o i mean best is personal opinion but i wouldnt consider the bravo to even make the "good" list 😄

[north sleet]

? ok and can you give me like two scopes that you like then?

[hidden seal]

well... given the history of weird military nomenclature it could be to be used up to 4 times per day 30 days per month 😛

[lean jetty]

Can I buy the rewards from the tarkov arena tactical map? I want the skeleton clothing cosmetic but I don't care at all for tarkov arena, just the base game

[hidden seal]

only ones I found where in Scav bunker in woods

[north sleet]

bravo4 just seems perfect cheap, 30k for it and can use dp which is imo one of the best compact reflex sights so 42k for a 4x and swap to a 1x, no large housing, good reticle, good laser tracking, good lean usage (no weird eye relief covering the entire screen when leaning), good tracking when using bolt actions rifles (it doesnt shake the entire scope like hamr does). im curious what you think is better for considering bravo4 to be a "not even good" scope

[thick geode]

HELLO GUYS CAN SOMOANE HELP ME DO A MISSION

[manic sable]

guys would you say that na servers generally have less skilled people? i noticed whenever i seem to peak anything im insta dead on eu servers but on a bunch of videos from na youtubers and shit they can do a bunch of stuff that would usually get me killed

[median relic]

Specter, vodoo, razer, tac30, schmittbender, Tango`? how many you need?

specter also is same price

[median relic]

with the specter you got a 1x zoom so you dont need a extra scope beeing way to high to shoot straight 😄 its alot of personal pref

i loved the Hamr in the past but cant use it at all anymore

[random quail]

^

[median relic]

90% are the time of day you playing. If you play evening EU you get the tryhard lobbies while at the same time NA you get the chill early afternoon lobbies. The general skill would be the same on average i would say. but pls dont tell NA i ever said that

[manic sable]

even at the current time i seem to always encounter sweats, for example i just died to a guy with 8k hours

[median relic]

i also like to play some NA instead of super late evening EU because the later the evening it seems like some people are more toxic 😄

[median relic]

i have 8k hours i am not a sweat i am just better 😗

just joking around obv,

there are high hour players on all servers

[manic sable]

yeah for sure but i always hear that na players are just worse at most games

[random quail]

there is just more influx of player from US so there are more players to be "worse"

[manic sable]

hm alr

why is solo tarkov so much more stressful to me then if i have a duo or smt i dont get it

[north sleet]

these are all on the same tier i dont disagree but you saying that the bravo4 isnt even "good" is just baffling

[random quail]

it just has drawbacks thats all

[north sleet]

like what

[median relic]

this could be me saying this but if you ask @void roost he tells you the easiest kills are done on EU

[median relic]

practise, embrace it. I am the the point where solo tarkov is more chill cause i can shoot EVERYTHING moving

and even not moving

[hidden seal]

naaa steam in fact made much more players from 3rd world due to regional pricing

[median relic]

bravo 4 has no zoom options and i dont like the high build up scopes, also the middle is way to big and bright so you cant use it for nightraids, there are alot of downsides

bravo i dont even sell on flea, straight to trader

[ripe bolt]

how do I shoot my gun

[random quail]

having to switch between sight instead of modes the top sights are almot always so small that mid range is not doable short range u should hipfire anyway and long range sure but again no zoom modes

[median relic]
