beginners-assistance

[grim raven]

yes it is

[undone drum]

fence

[undone drum]

its not

[hardy wing]

its required for what looks like it coulda been a christmas quest event

hopefully we get a christmas event this year too

[marble jackal]

The pickles come around every christmas wipe. Along with santa. Its a slav type tradition. AFAIK. I THINK you dont need them for kappa but

We will get a christmas event DW. We'll also get the sleighs too

[chilly plume]

need help - why arent any kills counting for spa tour part 1?

using an mp 155 and head tapping scavs with slugs

[fierce shadow]

u doin it on shoreline?

[fierce shadow]

i can't wait to murder santa on repeat lmao

[chilly plume]

ofc

[kindred fulcrum]

besides the table in the armory and the guy on the ground in the tent to the right as you run to the armory, where else does the key spawn? it didn't spawn on the table

[undone drum]

what key?

[kindred fulcrum]

armory key in terminal

one that gets you in the locker room

[forest skiff]

anyone down to help me quest in a duo?

im level 15 doing side quests

[acoustic ermine]

12 gauge right?

headshots with 12 gauge ive never had an issue tbh

[mild venture]

anyone know how to make scavs go to old gas on customs?

[grand cradle]

Can anyone help me? im new and trying to learn the game especially loot wise

[lofty folio]

Hey there

I can give you a hand, anything specific? quests or just money

[lofty folio]

Stay there and they will spawn and wander through

[lofty folio]

Sure! what quests are you needing help with

[grand cradle]

honestly money

[lofty folio]

Cool no worries, Are you cool if we kill two birds with one stone and do another fellows quests as well?

Wherever we are i can help you out with that

[grand cradle]

yeah that would be great im ina vc rn

[lofty folio]

ill shoot you a dm rq

[mild venture]

hope so XD

i just hope i spawn at giving tree XD

[prisma basin]

LF someone that is willing to show a very new player around. I'm trying to learn the basics fast. I'm from EU.

[acoustic ermine]

if you shoot loud guns they will walk over and investigate

just take scav guns when you kill them and shoot them a bit

[mild venture]

u can go to #pvp-lfg but i highly recommend to play alone first, if not confident, u can try offline raid so even if u die ur items are secured, and get a feel of the map so u have atleast some knowledge where to go or if u got lost u can regroup with ur team

[mild venture]

when u say take scav guns, u mean just go naked and kill them with sidearm right?

then take their gun?

[fiery moat]

come to beginners zone number 7

[forest skiff]

should I sell these tarko pops?

[civic leaf]

this a good rat kit?

[white carbon]

where the fuck is the flash drive next to the black g-wagon? i looked up a guide saying its in shoreline but i cant go there (falling skies flash drive)

[tribal barn]

guys

i need help im absolutely sutcked in the therapist salewa mission im atrociosly bad at the game and need assistance in this early game phase im suffering

[civic leaf]

Scav raids Lil bro loot msd tenets

[tribal barn]

im trying but i fail to extract

[civic leaf]

How

[tribal barn]

i die 🙁

[civic leaf]

As a scav what are you dieing to

[manic sable]

on the like little panel under the passenger side doors yk what i mean

on shoreline at the broken tunnel

[white carbon]

dude i dont got shoreline

do i need to give therapist the $2k?

[manic sable]

no

what are u on in the main questline

aka the chapter tour

[manic sable]

yeah u need to progress on that

[white carbon]

k

is an mp-155 good for woods?

[manic sable]

shotguns are generally ass

aside from on factory maybe

[white carbon]

well i dont have any AKs and no stash space so i cant do nun

[lilac moth]

A poor craftsman always blames his tools

[hidden seal]

not true.. sometimes we blame our wives

[white carbon]

can anyone help me extract from woods, i keep dying

[hidden seal]

you need just the tour tick.. go to a transit they cound and usually are not camped

[white carbon]

i keep getting jumped and im out of gear

well, tier 3 gear

[hidden seal]

then scan run to make gear on a loot map

trying to open uo shorelien will not make life easier if you do not fix your gear problem

[white carbon]

no i got like 200k yesterday as scav but i cant buy shit, i cant buy surgical kits which im out of, i cant buy UNTAR or Kulons which i only have 1 kit left of and idk if the ssh-8 helmet is good

[hidden seal]

Surgical kits you can scav out in interchange medical tents ( 4 on far west and 3 on south)

[white carbon]

im scared of going interchange, streets or ground 0

[hidden seal]

interchange is far less scary than woods

[white carbon]

yea but i never been on it

[hidden seal]

how? It is literally first map the game demands you to run after tutorial

[white carbon]

so this is my friends account that he gave me after he quit, i had customs, streets and ground 0 unlocked and then i continued playing and got factory and woods

[hidden seal]

well go try interchange... is my advice.. when you learn it.. it becomes much faster place to make a scav run adn get out with some medical supplies

[white carbon]

what about tier 3 armor

[hidden seal]

Most my tier 4 armor I got from tech crated scav running in interchange as well

not as common

but you find them

[white carbon]

wdym "tech crafted" like in hideout?

[hidden seal]

otherwise you need to scav from a PMC body even if somebody else killed. many players will leave level 4 armor behind

[hidden seal]

tech crate, the black box that looks slightly sci fy

you find as loot

[white carbon]

i dont need lvl 4 since i have some in my stash, im looking for tier 3 armor so i can do some cheaper runs

[hidden seal]

makes no sense.. if you FIND something it has the same price if you found tier 3 or tier 5

[white carbon]

alr then

is this kit enough for interchange?

[hidden seal]

yes but run a practice run

[white carbon]

yeah then ill do a scav

[hidden seal]

or better run it as SCAV

[wary wasp]

Can someone check on what lvl backpacks you can buy. Doing research and not on pc now. On the fleamarket ofcourse

[hidden seal]

only when you know the area you risk your PMC if you are low on equipment

[manic sable]

25 i think

[white carbon]

whats agood way to get xp to unlock the flea market?

[manic sable]

quest

[white carbon]

wait does like looting, healing xp from scav go to pmc?

[manic sable]

no

[grand cradle]

can anyone help me with some quest runs?

[white carbon]

i got goodies but also PTSD

[ember spruce]

how can i setup a limit on my voice chat?

[white carbon]

dont, deafen your enemies by screaming into the mic

[vast sentinel]

whats the VSS even good for? It has such bad MOA you cant reliably use it at long ranges, and for cqb the val is more flexible. Is there any reason to use this thing? I love the VSS but it feels like its outclassed in tarkov by just about anything.

[hidden seal]

style?

irl afaik.. tht ammo was supposed to be good against armor.. but not in game

[vast sentinel]

The ammo is great in game, but the Val makes betteer use of it, as it kinda sucks for long range

[teal dagger]

Hey guys, what went wrong here? (Beside taking the flare from the special slot instead of the fresh one :D)?

[fallen swallow]

so you were in the flare zone, then left it again

then fired the flare

so it didnt count

[teal dagger]

I see
How far into the zone do i need to/can I step?

[fallen swallow]

so at 14 seconds you get the notification on the bottom right that you are in the flare zone, you need to fire it when you get that

[teal dagger]

Okay, will give it another try 🙂 thanks mate

[fallen swallow]

basically this much wiggle room, but honestly the bus gives cover from the side just fire it there

[teal dagger]

thank you!

[fallen swallow]

no problem

also as another small tip incase you werent aware, the tunnel gives access to most building

on each side of the map

[hidden seal]

I died 2 times trying to flare extract.. decided snipers hate me and never tried again

[fickle ether]

What do posters do?

[hidden seal]

some are for tasks some for decoration of your hideout

[jolly plover]

im doing fishing gear, and when i was arriving near the place in shoreline, something shot me down and it wasnt a player, it said killed in action, what is it?

[hidden seal]

you crossed map edge?

or you crossed into the terminal entrance area?

[jolly plover]

no, i was in the river that is at the middle of the map

the boat where i need to stash the things is literally at the end of that river

[hidden seal]

you know that the map boss spawns on that area right?

[jolly plover]

nope, first time on the map

[hidden seal]

check a wiki map

[jolly plover]

but i wasnt killed by a npc

it was like the snipers on inter, that just say killed in actionç

[torn rapids]

you also didn't do it high enough

you need to be looking at the sky

[jolly plover]

im seeing lately these kind of profiles, people with low hours and very high kd ratio, is this a smurf?

[fallow pelican]

how to unlock theta

[wary timber]

Still very confused on this after couple wipes, does it perma stop it or only stop the bleeds for 60 sec?

[scenic lake]

prevents having bleeds for 60 sec

[tiny orbit]

It stops all current bleeds, and make sure you cant get new bleeds for 60 seconds

[hidden seal]

117 kills in 8 h is a lot

[jolly plover]

i reported it, he seemed sus

[silk heart]

cheater

[hidden seal]

having a new account is not forbidden

[jolly plover]

he is a hacker or a twich smurf

[teal dagger]

😄

[teal dagger]

Yeah, realized that. Just still sometimes running in the wrong direction lol 😄

[teal dagger]

Oh, ok - will keep that in mind too! thank you!!

[torn rapids]

so like

not directly up

but look up directly sky first, then forward for like 30 degrees

you did it waaaay too low the flare didnt go up high enough

[white carbon]

i need someone to help me extract from woods, i died 10 times trying to do the quest

[crystal bronze]

pvp or pve

[white carbon]

pvp

[teal dagger]

@fallen swallow@torn rapids got it - worked 🙂 Thanks again!

[torn rapids]

perf

[white carbon]

ohh so for the flare extractions u need a marker thingy

[teal dagger]

Yeah, that green flare. It's in this body and the "woody" trader sells it

[white carbon]

jaeger?

[teal dagger]

Yes, thats the name

[white carbon]

you can get the yellow one from prapor

[teal dagger]

I think you need green for the extract

[white carbon]

what about the powerline passage on woods?

[teal dagger]

same i guess - tried GZ and customs so far

[uneven vale]

which is better mcx or m4a1? overall

[fiery furnace]

Yeah green flare for all the flare extracts

[ruby siren]

idk really but mcx is 68 compared to 556

[fiery furnace]

Customs, woods, ground zero and streets all have flare extracts. I dont think im missing any maps?

[white carbon]

whats yellow for them?

[fiery furnace]

As far as im aware they are only used for some quests where you need to fire them in a certain location

[white carbon]

alr

can anyone run woods with me? i need to do a quest

[fiery furnace]

Id suggest looking in #pvp-lfg or #pve-lfg for like minded people 😄

[jovial kraken]

Inventory check didnt complete, do i have to check all the arsenals in one raid? cuz i did it in 2 but i didnt check the progress after the first one, doesnt look like it says i have to do it in one raid but

[unborn remnant]

lvl 10 first wipe im taking seriously but im decent at the game, anyone wanna run some early tasks or sum pm me

[fallen swallow]

No worries glad to help

[copper violet]

level 4.. only thing I know how to do is aim lmao
Anyone available to walk me through a pve scav/pmc raid so my friends stop calling me a "Timmy"?

PM me

[ionic pollen]

anyone have a gym and would friend me so I can lock in?

[modern walrus]

Yoo can i pop into anyone's VC and play w?

pretty geared, just having trouble w some tasks, figure tagging along w some more experienced players will help if anyones down

Not a steam player ive had it for a while im just getting back into it and trying to actually figure out the road to prestiege now

[lost nexus]

Anyone know how what happens when it says task failed on a main story quest?

[odd dew]

where the extarction points at?

[bold jetty]

typically opposite side of wherever you spawn

[prisma arch]

is 11-sr key card still bugged?

[odd dew]

you mind callin and helping rq

im here

[bold jetty]

what map is that

streets?

[odd dew]

nvm wait

[odd dew]

i think i found one

[bold jetty]

you're going to another map

[odd dew]

...

[rapid dock]

Hey guys
How do i display ping / packet loss / fps ?

[odd dew]

what

[bold jetty]

transiting means you are going to another map

[odd dew]

well im going into interange now ig

i didnt know dat

[balmy plank]

LOL\

[white carbon]

are shades and glasses even worth buying?

[bold jetty]

yes

concealment helps with staying undetected

just run whatever you pick off scavs

[white carbon]

so glasses are camo?

[bold jetty]

kinda, they just conceal your skin

[odd dew]

where should i extarct

[bold jetty]

emercom, its on the other side of the map

[white carbon]

yeah but in the snow its gonna be black on white anyways

[bold jetty]

if your behind a tree itll be harder to spot you than if they see your skin

[balmy plank]

any1 wana go to labs wit me 😄

[vague orchid]

jesus that raid was crazy

27 kills, 5 guards 1 boss and 4 raiders

[fiery moat]

is there a way to do gunsmith part 6 without the goddamn hybrid suppressor and the fortis tactical foregrip

the akm one

[hollow dune]

the ticket bugged? says check my messages... i claimed the msg that said its yours now. but nothing went into my inventory. and yes i have alot of space

[quasi zenith]

do goon spawn as a map rotation or they can be in more than 1 map at the same time?

[lethal scarab]

my pc has a RTX 3090 and i9 12900k with 32 gb DDR5 ram and im only getting armound 80 fps on the lowest settings , can someone help me optimize my settings ?

[jolly plover]

does scavs know where u are everytime? i was hidden in a corner prone healing and a scav came in running at me, stopped in front of me, and shot me

[hardy wing]

They will investigate areas, are attracted to bullets, if you do make noise they will walk over to investigate too. Just unlucky positioning on your part, and not being prepared

[vague orchid]

there;s a scav underground

[unkempt cairn]

[glossy sleet]

hi guys any idea on what edition is the best value for money? im undicisive and i don't really know that much about the game yet 🤔

[jolly plover]

Just get base edition, imo the other ones are too expensive for what u get, and if u ever want to get the more expensive ones, u can just upgrade

[glossy sleet]

i was thinking about getting the 120€ one

[ruby siren]

DO NOT BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY JUST PUT IT TOWARDS PVE IF ANYTHING

[glossy sleet]

i heard the trader's standing is important no?

[ruby siren]

its kinda but standard editon and buying pve is $80 you only get a slightly bigger container just dont

[glossy sleet]

isn't pve free?

[ruby siren]

no its $30

[glossy sleet]

why

[jolly plover]

Because everything in this game is a money grab

Its paid

[wary timber]

locked behind a 150$ Edition, then pve is free lol

[jolly plover]

The only free thing u get is a 3 day arena unlock, so u can try it abit and do some tasks

[ruby siren]

that mod is highly illegal delete your message mods will and its such a big deal that if someone attempts to dm you saying you should download it you should immediately report them to tarkov modmail i have gotten people banned for dming me about it

[glossy sleet]

oh i had no idea

[ruby siren]

do not do it it puts your account at risk and if you say to a mod you are using it that is ban worthy just do not talk about it

[glossy sleet]

ok ok i didn't know

im new im going to buy now

[ruby siren]

alright in my opinion you should buy standard buy pve and then put the leftover $40 into a different game like arc raiders or gray zone warfare

[glossy sleet]

but isn't the 120€ edition worth it compared to standard? why?

[balmy plank]

so i bought the staNDARD edition first then bought the unheard Do my traders lvl up stiull?

[ruby siren]

no you get 2 more small slots in your secure and a few more things in you bunker but its not worth it considering when you get good most of the stuff you paid extra for will not matter because you will have a bigger container and way better stuff

[silk heart]

bro is cringe. dont report people but dont condone it

just explain that its not allowed

[glossy sleet]

i didn't know

i just joined like 1h ago 😭

[jolly oyster]

updated tarkove to have bsg tell me file intehrity is compromized tried uninstalling and reinstalling eft same warning pops up after trying to repair files same warning anyone know how i can fix

[silk heart]

exactly. just remember that modding != cheating

[ruby siren]

when somone dmd me about it i asked about it and and a mod deleted my message and said report it here dont talk about it then they said thanks for the info in tarkov modmail

[glossy sleet]

what does "!=" mean

[silk heart]

not equal to

[glossy sleet]

really i normally use <> or ~=

[ruby siren]

this is the image of the bundle comparision from steam if you wanna look at it

[glossy sleet]

i looked at it but, i just don't know what those mean u know

cus i never played

[silk heart]

i bought prepare for escape. its worth imo

[ruby siren]

yeah its not the full stuff but its some of it but you get a better secure container a slightly expanded stash proabably the best part some gear and skills and i think your traders start at a higher level

[silk heart]

bearing in mind i have 3k hours

Its ONLY worth it for the bigger stash

[glossy sleet]

is the 250 one worth it compared to pfe

[silk heart]

loot is temporary

[silk heart]

No. thats where i draw the line

If EOD was still buyable id get that

[ruby siren]

yese that is facts the only good part is the stash nothing else

[silk heart]

not UNHEARD its too much to justify

[glossy sleet]

because in EU we pay massive tax

[silk heart]

lemme send u smth

[glossy sleet]

and unheard can only buy on website and pfe i can buy on steam

[ruby siren]

also for requeriments what are your pc parts just to see if you can run it mainly tell me your cpu and ram

[silk heart]

gpu is important too

[glossy sleet]

ram 64 ddr5 6000hz, 9800x3d and 7900xtx

[ruby siren]

kinda but if your cpu and ram are ass this game will run like a potato

[silk heart]

yes but gpu important too

[silk heart]

very good

[ruby siren]

yeah you will have no problem running this game

[silk heart]

i sent u a dm btw

[glossy sleet]

i can't send gif

[silk heart]

yeh its bs

[ruby siren]

yeah only mods can

[ruby siren]

ive seen people run tarkov on high settings with 64 gigs of ram and Ryzen 9 9950X and have like a nvidia gtx 1080 and it runs smoothly

[glossy sleet]

1080p gotta be. im running 1440p

[ruby siren]

it was 1080p but i think for preformance reasons and not overloading you computer you should do medium settings but if you stream i would do high settings

[glossy sleet]

there is no overloading my computer. my computer is unoverloadable

[ruby siren]

great then do whatever you want

[glossy sleet]

but now fr can i run at like max settings 1440p with my specs

[ruby siren]

yeah also it kinda matters but whats your gpu

[ruby siren]

also did you just buy it

[ruby siren]

wait didnt see that yeah hes gonna run it fine

[lavish crag]

LOL, im on a 1070 running this, he should be ok...

[ruby siren]

like i said gpu barely matters what is your cpu and ram

[tiny orbit]

GPU matter a lot if you play more than 1080p

[ruby siren]

ehh kinda

[tiny orbit]

Not just kinda. Its facts

[lavish crag]

i5 12600kf do be rockin

[ruby siren]

i havent heard anything about it from 1440p players

[lavish crag]

this thing decimates any game i throw at it tbh

[tiny orbit]

I went from 50-60fps on a 2070 to 130+ upgrading GPU only to a 4090

[lavish crag]

also despite the quick cpu/gpu talk, is there any way to quickly find extract

[tiny orbit]

"GPU dont matter" is just some outdated info from back when Tarkov had smaller maps

[lavish crag]

also how the heck do i pull up that screen that shows the time/extract point

[ruby siren]

do you have 2 moniters and standard key is hit o twice

[lavish crag]

0 maps.. got the game yesterday :(

[ruby siren]

meant moniters my bad

[lavish crag]

oh yea i have 3 lol, i have a interactive map up but it barely does anything to make sense-

all its given me is more confusion...

[ruby siren]

then my only tip i can give to you is learn the maps or run with people who know where extracts are

[glossy sleet]

i believe 24gb of vram is good for this game at 1440p

[marble jackal]

General rule of thumb. Your extracts will be on the opposite side of the map from where you spawn

[viscid marten]

Any advice on how to not die on customs I've been trying to extract for the quest and am going 12-0

[marble jackal]

Supply is right. Play with people who know the maps and learn them that way.

[marble jackal]

Your timing is off. Or you're running through high traffic areas.

[ruby siren]

just play with people who are good and can protect you you will get better at those quests the more you play

[lavish crag]

even as scav? or is that dif

[marble jackal]

Scav is different. I've done about 5 scav raids in the past 6 wipes. So Im not the best person to ask about scavs

I used to scav a lot in between PMC Runs but then I just worked out its pointless unless you need task items

As a beginner you should defo be scaving pretty much off cooldown though

[ruby siren]

what angry said also if you are pve dont do it scavs pretty much dont work on pve

[marble jackal]

OH yeah I've never fucked with PvE IDK.

I get my enjoyment from PvP

[ruby siren]

yeah if you load in as a scav on pve sometimes pmcs and bossess dont shoot you and only scavs do for some reason

[marble jackal]

Lmfao thats busted

[ruby siren]

yeah i do pve because i have a life and suck at tarkov pvp

[marble jackal]

I work full time and still play PvP. I just enjoy fighting other people. Each to their own

[viscid marten]

Yea probably high traffic i just cant cross the bridge to get to zb011 without hitting a hight traffic area

[marble jackal]

Just cause someone plays PvP doesnt mean they dont have a life 🤣 . We're all playing tarkov lets be fair. We're all degenerates

[marble jackal]

Which bridge? The one by big red? Use junk bridge or the land bridges. Going over the main bridge is suicide

[ruby siren]

i get it but i have a life and suck at pvp my experience so far of playing tarkov is losing everything in pvp breaking my moniter getting a new moniter and buying pve and im not joking about the moniter

[viscid marten]

I go through junk mainly but then I need to go past dorms and that is just death for me haha

[marble jackal]

You dont HAVE to go past dorms. You can go mechanic to railway tracks and green flare

[ruby siren]

im trying to put the M600U flashlight on to this build and i cant what do i have to remove to do it

[lavish crag]

for the first time i got to the railway exfil, and someone blew me up with 2 bombs 😭

[vague orchid]

what's wrong with my gunsmith 15 build?

oh wait I had the wrong tac device on it whopes that's why

[keen briar]

If I level lvl 2 prapor. whats a good customs build I could make using a rifle?

[glossy sleet]

that looks like binoculars with a trigger

[stuck dawn]

Honestly just grab any of the ak74s and mod that since they are good cheap and reliable. Also there is a abundance of cheap 5.45 on flea and at spawns on customs and interchange (kinda everywhere tbh rn)

[keen briar]

5.45 over 7.62?

[stuck dawn]

5.45

Is generally better than 7.62

[manic sable]

@cloud basin

[stuck dawn]

Higher RPM is better than slightly higher base damage

[manic sable]

got the burger king marked key

[fringe jay]

lazer needs to be a AN/PEQ15

[unkempt cairn]

Beginner here, looking for a sherpa

[keen briar]

Is there a specific AK thats better than the others or is it just like "yeah whatever works"

[marble jackal]

I mean what gun you wanna run depends on what youre doing. Honestly. But yeah generally higher RPM is better for close engagement maps. The NL is meta this wipe as its 800rpm and fires 5.45 basically like a laser. I personally like the black MDR for labs and most close quarters stuff

[celest iris]

Can anyone help me with these voip setting on arena? Shits just stuck on

[keen briar]

Im going to customs for kills

[marble jackal]

Then run whatever high fire rate gun you have good ammo for

[ruby siren]

go in #pvp-lfg or #pve-lfg ask for help in there this is more of expalining something quickly

[marble jackal]

There isnt a one size fits all approach

[keen briar]

I have US GS ammo lol. its kinda garbage regardless. I have a BUNCH of reserve m855 ammo but no idea what gun i should even use for it

[marble jackal]

What level are you? You can either run it through an adar if you wanna just tap. Or run it through an m4 if you wanna full auto

[dusk oxide]

why tf r suppresors this expensive from traders? makes no sense

[marble jackal]

If you try googling good low level gun builds for tarkov. There should be some info around.

Honestly. If you're prap 2. The VSK with sp-5 fucks

And its p cheap

[vague orchid]

what is wrong with this build?

I followed the gunsmith thing to a T

[keen briar]

im gonna try this out for a game hollup

[marble jackal]

If it fold try folding it. Sometimes shits weird

[marble jackal]

I tend to use the VSK as a secondary when sniping. If im not using an mcx or an sr-2. It does work. The ammo is pretty cheap. Sp-5 isnt a GREAT round but it'll get the job done.

[vague orchid]

okay will do

[keen briar]

honestly it has less recoil than an AK and THAT is what matters to me

[vague orchid]

wrong color foregrip for some reason

[marble jackal]

Recoil isnt really a problem eventually you get used to it

Those of us who have played for a while remember the OLD recoil

[mild cosmos]

anyone got a 5.56 60 rounder lying around?

desperately need it for a gunsmith

[keen briar]

I also just have NOT been modding guns at all. I think thats my issue too lol

[marble jackal]

Yeah always mod guns when possible

[keen briar]

I gotta start actually modding my guns and trying to make the recoil not horrednous.

[marble jackal]

Level 2 traders get you access to some decent attachments

[keen briar]

I need to stop being scared to lose rubels ngl

[marble jackal]

Recoil is good. But keep guns in blue ergo where possible

[keen briar]

I have like 500k and im like "do i really spend 50k on a gun rn???"

I think i need to just start investing in better gear and armor and shit and sell all the pacas and shit im holding onto

[lavish crag]

guys im terrified, i thought i finnaly exscaped through transit customs, and now its forcing me into another match

what the hell is happening

is customs just mean im going to a dif map :(

[keen briar]

yes

[lavish crag]

oh god

[keen briar]

customs insane pvp map

I have lived there every raid for the past week

its scary

[lavish crag]

im scared dad

[keen briar]

just pull up an interactive map

you will be fine i promise lol

[lavish crag]

is it worth looting at all or just insta dip?

im backpackless so im on the rough edge

[marble jackal]

Find a map you survive on, doesnt matter what map. Run it on repeat. Profit.

[lavish crag]

i pray no one loots my body... got headshot :(

[marble jackal]

Welcome to tarkov ❤️

[keen briar]

is there a specifc map? im not terrible on customs and interchange

[marble jackal]

Nope. Any map works. ANY map you can live on well. Fill up on 10k+ a slot items. Run it on repeat

[keen briar]

sayless

[marble jackal]

I personally use woods because after about 3000 woods raids I know the flow of the map to a point if I want PvP I get it, if I dont I dont. And its a pretty easy 1m+ a raid

[west glen]

Hey can somone explain why my pve acc is lvl 17 but has 0 raids playd on it?

[marble jackal]

Probably because you havent reset it since last wipe and technically its a new wipe.

Ignore it IMO

[west glen]

but wehre does the exp come from i havent playd on it?

[marble jackal]

At all? No clue

I dont play PvE so

[west glen]

yas no games

[radiant sphinx]

What scav is this?

[nova umbra]

-72 scav rep

[keen briar]

damn. im trying to figure out what even is there to loot on woods still with the barrel caches. Are those barrels guaranteed spawns or are they chanced because im staring looking at the ground for it and it doesnt spawn

[radiant sphinx]

My last scav run bugged tf out on the loot xfer screen. This is the result.
https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/w4yt3j/my_next_scav_has_no_gear/

[nova umbra]

no you get a free zero to hero run yayyyy

[nova umbra]

each stash has a chance to spawn but they are in the same places. woods has a ton of loot tho

[marble jackal]

All stashes are chance to spawn. They wont always be there. Same with pretty much everything

[keen briar]

where even is there to loot on woods besides near the RUAF camp and where shaman spawns

[marble jackal]

Scav village. 10+ BTC spawns in sunken village. MED FOB. USEC camps. Old sawmill. Train depot (BTR)

Train depot alone will quite comfortably net you 750k a run as a solo

If you get a good locked room outta it its 1.5m+ as a solo

[keen briar]

where is train depot?

[marble jackal]

Get in BTR. It'll take you

Only take the BTR if you find it first. IT spawns EITHER Green flare side or old saw side. 5 minutes into raid. Do not go there if you find the BTR 15 minutes into raid. Someone will most likely already be there and you're a free kill

[scenic lake]

the good old times

[viscid marten]

Yo just wanted to thank you for the help I finally got the quest done and got a few pmc kills

[marble jackal]

Back when the m1a was 40 recoil and a fucking beamer. I miss the old m1a

[marble jackal]

NO worries lad

[scenic lake]

the old juice cannon

[marble jackal]

Sa-58. Aim at feet get headshot

[scenic lake]

and no intertia

those were times

[marble jackal]

My first wipe was the first wipe we had no interia

Intertia* so. yeah dont remember that

[scenic lake]

i bought the game late 2020, i think inertia was added 2 wipes later

yeah it was intruduced december 2021

[keen briar]

is there a better map than escapefromtarkovfandom.com that actually labels what these places are called on different maps or nah?

i like that the fandom is interactive but im tryna learn the names

[marble jackal]

No but honestly there's some guides on youtube that walk you through maps

[keen briar]

pestily

[marble jackal]

Also appreciate that different groups have different callouts. Pestily yes. But I meant more specific information videos not just the raid series

[blazing mauve]

idk what settings to run now since i got new pc (i have a 9070xt and 9800x3d now)

[amber lava]

What do i use lega medals for?

[ruby siren]

whats the best way to get a labs keycard

[ruby siren]

whats your ram

[compact wind]

buying certain items from ref, like the grumpy key. thats the only one i can think of off the top of my head

[compact wind]

run scav runs. they have a lot of them in their bags when you get like 1+ rep

[ruby siren]

im looking to do pmc and boss hunt

[keen briar]

I got my first labs key from my scav. (1.5 rep)

[amber lava]

Like from main game ref (good and moral) or arener ref (evil)

[compact wind]

main game ref (good and moral)

[blazing mauve]

32gb of g skill ddr5-6000 cl38

[warped anchor]

High end scopes for an assault rifle?

[ruby siren]

alright id say medium to low settings you can try high but medium for looking good and keeping your pc running good and low if you dont care about looks and want good preformance

[blazing mauve]

ye my AIO is ass in this build

i bought a prebuild so dont wanna stress the cpu too much

[gaunt canopy]

Anyone on that wants to play

[blazing mauve]

can someone help me with quest runs and map learning?

[hazy mantle]

I completed Against the conscience part 2 on arena, and when i turned it in it didnt give me the next quest for Theta...what am i missing? do i need to level up more?

[steel grove]

im done for

[manic sable]

thats crazy

[formal trout]

let me guess you dont have money left

[steel grove]

a whole 1051 roubles

[fiery moat]

you shouldn't even be paying to heal

in the worst case scenario u can buy car medkit for 9k that gives 220hp

and/or craft 3 cheese with 1 pile of meds

[marble jackal]

You know its a bad day when the rats run outta rouble

[steel grove]

yeah ik i use grizzlys anyways, just thought it was funny to see

[fiery moat]

how did u manage to get that low in roubles tho

[white carbon]

man, not using rear sights is dogshit

[fiery moat]

invested all in dollar?

[steel grove]

hideout upgrades costing me every internal organ i have

im at that stage where 90% of what i find i keep due to needing it at somepoint so i dont make any money

[fiery moat]

ah so you rushed ur hideout without saving some roubles

[steel grove]

yessir

[fiery moat]

thats why u buy multiple scav junkboxes and forget about your junk loot

[fiery moat]

i already have 2 full and whenever i try to sell em i just end up not even selling 1 single item

isnt 4 overkill

[steel grove]

i find 4 pretty comfortable even for late wipe

rn i genuinely need over 3 for all the hideoust stuff anyways, and later on i just split them up into fuel/filters, gold stuff and whatever else i need

christmas coming up so christmas bauble junkbox will come anyways

[marble jackal]

I generally run 3 early wipe. Then 2 late wipe as one goes into my scav junkbox in hideout. If you're hoarding four full junk boxes I promise at least 40% of it can be flea'd. Very little need to be FIR this wipe and prices are still high, they will drop heavy next 2 weeks

[steel grove]

i have a good junk i can sell off but i keep a lot of things for crafting and stuff lying around so thats why theyre so full

[marble jackal]

Fair enough. I only really craft ammo so I dont keep much back

[steel grove]

i usually stock up to keep all crafting stations crafting for hideout management skill

like its literally holding 5 fleece rn for the sole purpose of crafting bandages in my lavatory just so its running lol

[warped acorn]

guys, stuck on black screen after extract, should I wait it out?

[steel grove]

i sorted out some stuff and were looking healthier again

[steel grove]

i usually just close the game and restart

[warped acorn]

ty

inventory server now seems to be laggy

[steel grove]

PVE Or PVP? for me PVE inventory lags often but PVP seems fine

[warped acorn]

trying to sell loot from my scav run

stuck on "loading" after hitting "sell all"

[keen briar]

does the vpk's full auto just completely glitch out for y'all too or is it just me being dumb

[odd shoal]

Anyone free to help me learn the game (on Ground Zero map)? I just installed a few hours ago and cannot figure out how to get out so I always die

[scenic lake]

vpk?

[keen briar]

vsk*

[manic sable]

you should pull up a map if you arent doing already. one good map is here
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ground_Zero

[scenic lake]

last time i used it worked fine

[keen briar]

it was on full auto for me. went to shoot full auto. Trigger wouldnt pull. switched fire rates. shot instantly?

happened twice and i died in dorms

[scenic lake]

i have no idea

[keen briar]

damn

[scenic lake]

propably a bug ig

but how to avoid it, i have no idea

[warped acorn]

erm, I suggest you study the map very well and learn 1 or 2 routes offline

[silver prairie]

cant help at the moment, id highly recommend if you dont know the maps to look them up online for extracts then practice on pve if you having a difficult time

[visual marten]

does scav rep affect scav spawn loot on scav runs?

[odd shoal]

Do I get to keep the loot I find in practice mode?

[manic sable]

nope

try scavving instead

[odd shoal]

Died as scav so I gotta wait 30min

[manic sable]

rip

[silver prairie]

Yes, its still RNG but the higher your scav rep the better chance of higher loadouts, it also increase the amout of scav extracts you can take for example at 1 fence rep you may only have 3/4 extracts at max rep you have access to more

[glossy sleet]

can i play eft if I have vac ban?

[marble jackal]

No clue. Probably since steam just launchers the BSG launcher

[warped acorn]

yes

[warped acorn]

try building intel center lvl 1, it will reduce scav cd

[summer cedar]

what's the command to have the bot show the headphone distance chart?

[manic sable]

??headsets

errr

[warped acorn]

is there a big difference between 63 and 67?

[dusk oxide]

anyone knows why my bg looks grany?

[keen briar]

I just bought 3 pairs of elite pliars to upgrade to security 2 but my hideout REFUSES to acknowledge i have it

how can i fix it

I already relogged too

[undone drum]

can you screenshot the requirement of security 2?

and post here?

[undone drum]

do you see the little white tick at the plier picture?

[undone drum]

do you know what found in raid means?

[keen briar]

yeah but why would it need to be found in raid. its my hideout

[undone drum]

its the requirement

[keen briar]

thats insane as fuck

[undone drum]

not found in raid

[keen briar]

can i craft myself elites?

[silver prairie]

its a change they made, some items for hideout upgrades need to be FIR if it doesn't have the tick you can buy it from Flea

[undone drum]

google real quick
tarkov wiki elite pliers

scroll down to barters and crafts

[silver prairie]

some items you can craft yourself not sure about the Elite Pliers tho, EVERYTHING made in the hideout is FIR

[keen briar]

if i trade. does it count as FIR

[indigo cosmos]

No, actually find it in raid or craft

[silver prairie]

Trader Barter Traders are not FIR

you can barter not FIR items but the items your recieve will also not be FIR if thats clearer

[keen briar]

damn this game fucking hates me

[undone drum]

its just challenging

game wants u to overcome

[keen briar]

facts

[undone drum]

the more u overcome, the bigger the fun

[dapper cobalt]

no it definitely does not, this game would rather see me dead shot execution style and left in a ditch then let me have fun in pvp mode lmao

[steep pulsar]

Guys, real question.
Im trying to finish SBIN and tarkov shooter, whats the best possible scopes I can get.
Every trader LL3 and 31lvl

[fiery furnace]

ref lvl 3 as well?

[steep pulsar]

Yup

[fiery furnace]

Vudu from ref is strong

[steep pulsar]

Finally GP coins will get to use.
I've gathered atleast 700 of them.
Thanks!

[silver prairie]

Most scopes are only available at lvl 40 but what you can do is filter by item the scope mount and buy one from the flea with a scope already inside

[fiery furnace]

razer is also good from ref

[undone drum]

for you the half full glas of water will always be unemployed

[steep pulsar]

People... do that? Who tf sells scope mounts with scopes on them

[fiery furnace]

smart people

[steep pulsar]

SBIH is an impossible task, worse than TD

[fiery furnace]

nah shooter bron is way easier than TD i think, you can just camp and snip

[steep pulsar]

Okay maybe not worse, but very time consuming

[silver prairie]

yea filter a mount and then change the price to show highest to lowest you can normally grab something for 60-80k, its a good way to buy the Schmitt bender scope for Test Drive part 1

[rustic void]

what flashlight is this?

[silver prairie]

looks like the X400

[marble jackal]

you can also barter for most scopes pretty early. 1-8 is 2 buckwheat. If sniping the 2.5-8.5 from pk3 is pretty good. New this wipe. Otherwise honestly ID just run elcans. Using your GP coins for scopes with ref is pretty meh

[vague orchid]

Other than the command bunker and King what areas on reserve have filing cabinets? The upper area near dome?

[pearl copper]

all 3 buildings surrounding helis. Both knights, domes, the building across RB-KPRL

[vague orchid]

oh wow

that's a lot of filing cabinites on reserve

[marble jackal]

The building by the scav extract behind no bag too

Has one in it

The pawns too one in each IIRC

[hidden seal]

some items must be found in raid

then they are not found in raid

there is a little checkbox icon on items found in raid.. both on items you have and on requirements

check the stash requirements

I jsut wrote

the checkmark icon

as soon as you buy them on flea they are not found on raid anymore

[silver prairie]

you can sell items on the flea even if it isn't FiR

[hidden seal]

because not all items need to be foudn in raid

again LOOK at the requirements look for the icon

[supple drum]

Can i ask for help in tarkov arena here?

are the christmas trees with ornaments going to be going on this year?

Ahh

[night bronze]

Anyone have advice for just getting Rite of Passage (Jeager) and Scout (Mechanic) done on Factory quick-like? I'm getting scav kills like crazy, killing swarms, then popped one-shot by guy behind a box.

[pearl copper]

A. Wipe lobby along with doign quest at the same time before player scav spawning in. or
B. Q night time, wait until 5-10 minutes left or you hear nothing after awhile then go do your quest and leave

[modest ivy]

B is what I did, except on day time

I came here to ask, what's the best way to improve aim in Tarkov? I've had confidence issues when dealing with pvp and my sub-par mechanics is part of why it's like that.

[cerulean trellis]

arena

[silver prairie]

There are a few options you can build an in-game shooting range in your hideout, Aimlabs a steam game to practice you general aim or play some Tarkov Arena

[modest ivy]

I don't have Arena, so I've been doing practice runs in Factory as a compensation.

[next nimbus]

reserve has the most filing cabinets out of any map beside streets, and they are spread everywhere on streets instead of 2 or 3 buildings

[vague orchid]

ah fair

[grim raven]

set it to offline raid

[pearl copper]

go offline raid, turn scav to max. Practice quick peek and 1 tap scav on repeek. Go arena to practice CQB/swinging and reticle placement (headshot when you swing the player). Play agressive on Arena.

[pearl copper]

Issue with daytime is you have the lobby full of playerscav after 10 mins into factory raid

[modest ivy]

Well, I was still able to get it done regardless of that

[modest ivy]

Most of the advice is helpful, but again, I don't have Arena

[potent plaza]

am i trippin or is this impossible

[eager ledge]

How do I get to accessing traders without being obliterated by 3000 hour juicers every PMC raid? Ive done 10 today and died in 9 of them in the first 5 minutes always by another PMC.

[topaz forge]

that is impossible, thats funny that they didnt take that out of the loot pool

[dark prism]

the only way to do that quest is to find the item, go the transit and pay to have the item returned to stash.

[formal trout]

(mocking myself) how to make it through a raid. dont get shot when you spawn in xD kinda my games currently

[glass atlas]

If its all within the first 5 minutes its because you might be unfamiliar with PMC spawns and keep running into another one off spawn. You could avoid these super early deaths by just chilling where you spawned, albeit in cover, for like 5-10 minutes then move.

[eager ledge]

Thats probably it, havent played for over 3 years and have just been rushing to spots I faintly remember having some form of loot

[potent plaza]

very unfortunate

[cerulean trellis]

woods scav village my beloved

what have they done to you

[eager ledge]

Havent unlocked anything past customs yet

[outer rain]

I just started the game but a friend said this discord had some people that could help me get better?

[cerulean trellis]

keep on loading them up brother

my first wipe in 3 years, shit is rough out here but youll get it

[reef wedge]

is 5.45x39 ammo tradeable at all

[compact slate]

use or sell RB-PKPM marked key?

[cerulean trellis]

depends how confident you are on reserve, if you just want quick cash sell, if you wanna gamble start looting it

[compact slate]

PVE, so easy. If hideout focused use the money for hideout?

listed at 20 mil on market

[cerulean trellis]

you can buy it from prapor

[reef wedge]

good ammo though, at level 1

[cerulean trellis]

nah, just have to grind, at lvl1 you wont have any good options

have to find or get better traders

[cerulean trellis]

yeah hideout upgrades are essential for better stats or later crafting

If you can repair it yes, but sometimes its still too high durability to not be able to repair

Craft it

i can repair it, but my question is if the cracks dissapear

hate how the face shield cracked look

guys should i spend 1.5m for workbench lvl3?(just buying thermites and 395k for payment itself) or should i focus on other buildings in my hideout first?(literally everything except lavatory,water and food and cultist circle is lvl2)

like im comparing it to medstation rn

one requires mechanic 3 other requires therapist 3

[silk garnet]

Where do i use this??

[fathom dirge]

Labs

[fathom dirge]

Check wiki which crafts are more useful to you

[tiny orbit]

I would not. Wait a few days and that cost 1mill

[fiery moat]

yeah rn it seems not so good, i dont need ap 6.3 or the flashbang shell for ks

[fiery moat]

yea i think ill wait like a week probably

is 5.56 SOST worth using?

[fathom dirge]

Check ammo chart

[fiery moat]

yea i checked

53 dmg 33 pen

very similar to m855a1 that i currently use

sorry m855 regular one

i only have that 5.56 left and dont wanna use that HP from jaeger ll1

imagine 5.56 with 7 pen

[fathom dirge]

Don’t use 556 at all imho on low level.

[fiery moat]

how bout 7.62x39 cuz i have like hundreds of fmj,t-45m1,ps and bp ammo for 7.62x39

[fathom dirge]

762 is better yeah

[tiny orbit]

Agree

[hidden seal]

why exactly?

[tiny orbit]

Bad recoil and shitty bullets

5.45 is just better in any way early

ANd the bullets are everywhere to be looted

[hidden seal]

In in fact only have a stash of 5.56 left on my PVP account.. almost all other bullets I lost (damm prarpor why can't insurance get the amo inside the weapon at least)

[open bronze]

this

i’m level 15 as a USEC swearing on 7.62

[undone drum]

same

7.62 x 39 x 51 is my way

[open bronze]

54r when you wanna snip snip

[fiery moat]

the dead body in front of nakatani(not the one inside) is so sweet, no one loots him bc they fear they will get shot, i just went in scav and found a mk47 mutant, a desert eagle, level 4 helmet and a comtac 5. ONE DEAD NPC BODY. and the dead body INSIDE nakatani gave me an akms too. from a scav toz to a full pmc kit(except body armor) is crazy

[hidden seal]

but at least for me the supply of 7.62 is so much lower

[fiery moat]

which 7.62 type are u talking abt tho

my 7.62x39 stocks never went below 300

[hidden seal]

39, I never managed to have more than 120-150 on stash

[fiery moat]

do u only keep bp or smth

[hidden seal]

while 5.45 It almost rains

[fiery moat]

other way around for me

[hidden seal]

no no.. everything

[fiery moat]

btw did u know that 7.62x39 is cheaper than dirt and can be crafted easily, 2 toenails and 1 pubic hair gives u like 6000 7.62x39 fmj in workshop

[scenic lake]

crazy statement

[hidden seal]

my character has alopecia.. 100% bald.. everywhere.. so cannot use the pubic hair 😛

[fiery moat]

i crafted this like 20 times

4000 bullets

sometimes i just turn eagle into hawk and craft 360 piranhas instead of 200 fmj though

[undone drum]

at what lvl can u buy eagle?

[fiery moat]

idk i just keep finding em everywhere

yeah its 30

i just checked

[undone drum]

yeah

[fiery moat]

but if u step into ground zero for a second it literally rains eagle

ground zero underground definitely has like at least 6 eagles every raid probably

anyways guys is paid even needed outside cultist circle

[summer cedar]

i like picking them up cuz free salewas

[fiery moat]

thanks for the reminder i was just abt to sell 10 paids for dirt cheap

[white carbon]

is it worth it transfering like half my roubles (200k) into dollars?

[harsh heath]

No way

[hidden seal]

well it is not real life where rubles devalute 10% per day

[harsh heath]

Straight transfer via peacekeeper you are losing money, better off buying things and selling them to him, you will get more dollars for it

[summer cedar]

unless you're buying things from PK non-stop, not really

[white carbon]

wait so if i want to convert rubles into dollars so i can use peacekeeper, what amount is recomended?

[hidden seal]

or you just trying to unlock PK l2

[white carbon]

like 20k max? since i also have some quests for money

[summer cedar]

usually keep maybe like 5k dollars on hand at all time

[harsh heath]

20k dollars is like 3 mil rub I think

[white carbon]

alr what should i buy? are sks and kedrs good for that? or perhaps armor

[hidden seal]

I have 50k... I want to leave tarkov with 100K to have a happy retirement (PVE)

[scenic lake]

when i achieve financial freedom, i usually buy 10k dollars when i run out

[white carbon]

dont forget euros and roubles

[harsh heath]

I think people usually use USEC armor off of flea market

[white carbon]

im lvl 5

[white carbon]

no like what should i buy from others to sell to PK

[summer cedar]

oh, then you are way too low a level to be worrying about this lmao

[hidden seal]

anything that he buys

[white carbon]

yeah well i need 20k dollars for mechanic so no

[hidden seal]

those 20k are to get disapointed with lighthouse btw

[summer cedar]

admittedly, I didn't pay mechanic for that until like lv 20

[scenic lake]

im puttion off unlocking lh until i have 10 tasks there

[white carbon]

its the quest i need to give mechanic 20k so i can get in touch with PK and like visit him

[summer cedar]

if you ever need to go to lighthouse desperately, you can just transfer there from shoreline.

[hidden seal]

and the only thing you get is lighthouse access afaik

[summer cedar]

nope, if you give 20k to mechanic, all he does is let you go to lighthouse. you need to level up skier to get access to peacekeeper

[stuck dawn]

Yeah. At lv 5 you should be looking to level up to 14 to get therapist 2.

You should only worry about getting that once you have most traders to ll2. Besides you get the 20k dolares just from selling things to PK to get him to ll2

[white carbon]

yeah but it tells me to ensure access to lighthouse tho so i need it

[white carbon]

i can access PK but i cant visit him or do quests

[hidden seal]

only if you want to escape from tarkov instead of have fun in tarkov

[summer cedar]

exactly: in order to get quests from Peacekeeper, you'll get that from Skier, not mechanic

[white carbon]

cmon, we both know the 2nd option is impossible, but is there any other questline other than tour and falling skies that i can get soon?

[summer cedar]

Skier has a questline called "Friend From The West", and that is the one that gives you access to peacekeeper

[stuck dawn]

Accidental witness. | You get it on customs by looking at the graffitid car at dorms |

[summer cedar]

it's a bit spoilery, but there's two of them you can currently access where you are. Batya, and Accidental Witness

[hidden seal]

and that quest cursed me. after I got it.. I only found bears for 2 weeks

[stuck dawn]

Also batya, that one is easy aseell

[white carbon]

eh, ill stick to falling skies ig

and sidequests too

[hidden seal]

focus on SIDE quests

those are the ones that give XP, money AND unlock items in traders

[stuck dawn]

Oh yeah, focus on the side quests since XP and trader rep.

[white carbon]

so mainquests dont help me get new offers as quickly as side quests?

[summer cedar]

This guy mentioned how to trigger Accidental Witness, but Batya can be triggered by visiting ||The T-90 behind the Resort on Shoreline||, the ||Radio tower by New Gas on Customs||, or ||Prapor's ambushed convoy on Woods||

[summer cedar]

main quests don't give any rewards. if you want free goodies and exp, do side quests

[hidden seal]

main quest only the first ones give you access to skier than mechanic.

after that they are fluff

[white carbon]

and prapor

if an operational quest has me survive a location, can i do it as a scav too?

[summer cedar]

no. they must be done by a PMC

the one exception is if a quest is given by the trader Fence, in that case, it must be done as a scav. All other traders require you to do it as a PMC

[white carbon]

alr, so if i need PMC, what is better for most maps? the VPO VEPR or aks-74U/UN

[summer cedar]

the AKS-74U

[rustic void]

hey, spawned on scav with this key
is this a quest key?

[white carbon]

i only have tier 2 ammo tho

[summer cedar]

you don't have a good source of 7.62 ammo yet, so just stick with AKs.

[white carbon]

so when i can get tier 3 ammo, should i maybe use the vpo? since, quite frankly i like it as a cheap, heavy hitting gun

[summer cedar]

it's quite easy to find better AK ammo just laying around on the map, more than it is to find western ammo

[rustic void]

just run leg meta ammo
no point in trying to find good bullets to then waste them on scavs anyway
since your enemies (PMCs) run shitty bullets as well

[summer cedar]

once you unlock Skier level 2, he'll sell a bullet called TCW SP. Once you get that, or find it in raid, I recommend using the VPO then

[white carbon]

pretty sure guys on ground zero, customs and shoreline dont run shit bullets

[rustic void]

i have killed like 7-8 pmcs yesterday
all of them (high level, 20-30-40)
had 1 good mag of bullets and the rest total doodoo

[rustic void]

pretty sure they do

[summer cedar]

It's a quest key for way way later down the line. ||It's used for the Labrynth, which is unlocked sometime around level 30ish||

[white carbon]

i also use the VEPR if i dont use the AK

[white carbon]

fucking hell, whenever i go woods or ground zero i get killed by chads with suppressed NATO guns, i can only get tier 2 rigs and tier 3 helmets, i have 2 tier 4 helmets but i dont want to loose them just yet. what can i even do about that

[white carbon]

youll prob get more luck with LFG channels

[summer cedar]

unfortunately, not really much. You'll get blasted by people who have better gear than you fairly regularly in this game

[fallen swallow]

how do you even do shooter part 3, everyones using full auto guns

[white carbon]

well, at least im done with fucking woods, lost 200k on that map trying to extract as PMC

[summer cedar]

don't stress about it too much. It's part of the game™

[hidden seal]

how a helmet in your stash helps you?

[white carbon]

i could run it but the difference between my rigs and helmets is too big

[hidden seal]

like you have 2 it is not as if it is your LAST one

ok... but the mentality should be to find a better armor then

[white carbon]

yup, that and meds

[hidden seal]

like even in fenceyou get soem level 4

[jolly plover]

Is there any place where i can see which injectors are worth keeping???

[white carbon]

use them, if u die then its not worth

[summer cedar]

here's some advice, if it helps. At such an early level, don't bother sprinting at all. Take your cosy time looting and moving slowly. Most higher level players are rushing around trying to get the best loot. if you try and beat them to the fight, you'll lose. take it slow and quiet, and they'll usually leave by the time you get there

[jolly plover]

want to know to sell the "worse" ones

[summer cedar]

if you're level 5 like you mentioned, then even the scraps left behind are worth gold to you

[white carbon]

no dude, i tried naked and geared runs, and in the middle, trying ot just run through the map, im done with it. i mostly run scav runs or customs when i want to loot

[white carbon]

you can prob google them pretty easily

[hidden seal]

nakes you get tagged and cursed

[summer cedar]

try woods or shoreline if you haven't already

[white carbon]

ik

[summer cedar]

you can go the entire raid without seeing a single person, scav or PMC

for shoreline, stay away from the resort like it's a plague, and likewise for woods' sawmill

[white carbon]

i finished all my woods and shoreline quests, i quite enjoyed myself on shoreline it was fun. woods on the other part, i lost a fuck ton of money and my will to live

[white carbon]

ive only been on the south roads and the military sniper area place thingy, where in the watchtower i actually found and ak-102 and an rpk-16 as loose loot

[summer cedar]

try going to the north-east. there's a place called Smuggler's camp that spawns some pretty good stuff, and most people don't go

the village on the far west is nice too, but the sunken village north of it is meh

[white carbon]

ik i went to weather station once, was all good until 2 chads showed up and i needed to choose to die from thirst or from them, i died from them

[white carbon]

oh yeah it was good

[summer cedar]

another tip: there's no shame in hiding or running away from a fight. if you know you won't win, just hide in a bush or behind a door, and wait for them to leave

[hidden seal]

my worry is not seeing anyone.. is when they see me 😛

[summer cedar]

running away with your life is still a win

[white carbon]

would just running in with this be good for customs or ground zero?

[hidden seal]

getting to jager shak was the worse trap I ever saw in a game

[white carbon]

yeah, i managed to get good stuff while doing that in ground zero once

[summer cedar]

yep, that's basically the best you can get right now

[white carbon]

sweet, thats also cheap af

[summer cedar]

I'd also personally buy the Goliaf handguard from Skier, and the KAC Vertical foregrip from Peacekeeper and throw it on there

[white carbon]

i also came up with some nice AKs, modded and stock from dead PMCs or loose loot, do i keep them for later in the game or sell them?

[hidden seal]

Keep 1 reserve weapon

more you can sell if you need money

[summer cedar]

I'd personally not bother keeping guns or their parts. it builds a bad hoarding habit that i'm still struggling with lmao

[white carbon]

speaking of loose loot, do yall think farming loose guns is worth it? theres a lot of places on customs, ground zero and shoreline that have some nice nato and russian guns

[summer cedar]

run them, or sell them

[hidden seal]

but that leads to the best gameplay of tetris!

I also keep some weapons to SAVE stash space

[white carbon]

yup, i also got it ig

[hidden seal]

as you can put way more parts ona weapon thatn the space the weapon uses

[white carbon]

im thinking of selling that AUG since i cant buy ammo for it, aswell as some of the snipers

[hidden seal]

if you have no ammo for a weapon.. sell

[summer cedar]

oh brother you should be selling most of that shit

[hidden seal]

keep ones that you have plenty of ammo

[white carbon]

also at what level for what trader do i get 366TKM ammo? i wanna use those scav snipers

[summer cedar]

Jaeger sells .366 ammo

[white carbon]

who do i sell the aug to, PK for $ or prapor for rubles

[white carbon]

dont have him unlocked

[scenic lake]

true and real

[hidden seal]

mechanic

mechanic pays more

[summer cedar]

mechanic buys guns and attachments for the most money

[white carbon]

also dosent he sell mostly shotguns, carbines and snipers?

[summer cedar]

he sells hunting/civillian grade equipment, which includes .366

[white carbon]

alr

[hidden seal]

sell not only the aug.. all your nato guns if you have no nato ammo

[summer cedar]

Jaeger pays the most for sniper scopes, mechanic pays the most for guns and parts, Therapist gives the most for medicine/valuables, and Ragman pays the most for gear/armour/helmets

[hidden seal]

unless you have a personal fetich for some of the guns

[scenic lake]

btw guys, if you want to make shitton of money, go woods at night, and if you can go to train depot

[hidden seal]

Lol I went once.. without night vision and was raining.. I died.. from getting lost 😛

[scenic lake]

with snow you dont need nvg

[summer cedar]

certain traders will refuse to buy items if they're below a certain durability/quality, but Fence will always buy anything, no matter what you sell him. he also happens to pay the lowest for anything you sell him lmao

[scenic lake]

its really bright

[hidden seal]

true I did before snow

[scenic lake]

give it a try, its really easy to make money

[hidden seal]

I need to watch some videos on how to get to the traindepot

[scenic lake]

i can take you there if you want

[hidden seal]

at work now

[summer cedar]

you can only get in the depot through the BTR, no?

[hidden seal]

waiting for lawyer papers

[hidden seal]

I never embarked on the BTR

it goes to a random place? or you select?

[summer cedar]

you can select, but it costs money for him to take you there

[white carbon]

this might seem stupid but how do i finish modding a weapon?

[summer cedar]

what do you mean?

[white carbon]

i went to edit build and now idk how to get out of here and mod my gun

[hidden seal]

there is always a large back button

[white carbon]

oh i need to clikc assemble

[summer cedar]

at the top left, there'll be a jigsaw piece. click it and it'll try to assemble the gun with whatever parts you have selected

[white carbon]

didnt see that button

[summer cedar]

lol no worries

[hidden seal]

this game is not enough hardcore.. we need a feature where we need to manually assemble our improvized grenades from parts and not only select them, but move them carefully in place.. one accident and hideout gone!

[open willow]

thanks

[steel grove]

one death and it wipes your account, prestige included

[hidden seal]

and if you explode the gunpoweder keg.. you erase the account of the next player with the closest serial number to yours
