Wait im not allowed here

nvm, I am dumb

Ok so I did manage to exfil from Emercom

[fiery moat]

which extract were u trying to go

[lavish briar]

I tried to do Nakatani since I spawned in Capital Insight in Ground Zero

I did not check my allowed exfils, lol

[fiery moat]

yea on ground zero, it gives u the farthest one between emercom and nakatani

[lavish briar]

However I did dome 4 scavs, so huzzah

[fiery moat]

if ur close to nakatani, then its always emercom. and vice versa

[unborn grove]

Game hates me, goti it lol

[lavish briar]

LMAO im sorry bud

[unborn grove]

Lol its all good, I will just try again

[lavish briar]

On one hand: makes sense
on the other: fuck that shit

However that was a practice run and I didnt get to keep the loot

depression

[lavish briar]

Theyll be in your account for a bit

[vague orchid]

[lavish briar]

It says Dec 30th

[vague orchid]

Ok thanks

[smoky heart]

It’s written in the notification box against each drop message

[hollow dune]

do twitch drops only go to pvp?

[lavish briar]

Twitch drops either are PVP, Arena related or Keys for temp/full access to EFT

Also if yall want to get those keys, you need to go do the Tour quest and meet Prapor, the trader

[tiny orbit]

Its on both PvE and PvP

[lavish briar]

Oh my b

I meant like PvP as in the game that is not Arena

[candid mason]

[bitter verge]

[lavish briar]

[viral cloud]

Since when can goons spawn on customs on the crossroad to bridge ? I was focusing a PMC and got onetapped by bigpipe next to the police car xdd

[covert juniper]

Hello, i've got a question
if you are on your modding/edit weapon screen and you have both flash hider and supressor in your stash, but they are already put together, will it automatically go to my gun, or do they have to be seperated for the mod/edit screen to know i have them both ?

[sharp rain]

No need to separate them, if you are on your modding screen you should be able to just chug them on, if you are on "edit build" screen you can click the assamble button(puzzle looking one) and it will put it on the gun for you

[covert juniper]

Thanks

[wary wasp]

I saw someone in the shooting range pulling his gun down and replenish ammo. I often walk back and do it like that. How can i do the ammo restock without moving

[viral cloud]

[bitter verge]

oh yeah he needs no rep for leveel 2

i gotta sleep

[sacred magnet]

any advice on the weapon attachments? i keep buying attachments for guns i under "liniked search" so i think theyd work but they dont lmfao

[uncut goblet]

If you do it through the edit build screen it's easier

You can build the weapon and then buy everything at once

[sacred magnet]

got it. i assume u need the workbench for that. lol

[bitter verge]

15 no workbench

poor soul

[fiery moat]

falling skies starts with locating the fallen plane on woods

[sacred magnet]

ye i was asking if it was on ground zero map

[fiery moat]

its a storyline with various different stories across maps. involving interchange shoreline etc.

[fiery moat]

yeah this one is done by going to the gate with a tank in front of it in shoreline

[lament drum]

[brisk wharf]

[sweet idol]

Hi everyone, does anyone know how I can log into a Battlestate account? I bought Tarkov on Steam and I didn't get the option to log in, it created an account for me automatically, and now I want to buy the Arena mode, but it's only available on their website. I tried entering my email, but it doesn't work. I have someone else's, but it tells me I don't own the game and the username isn't the same, so it's not my account. Thanks to you all for your help if possible.

[brisk wharf]

in 3 hours

[brisk wharf]

there is a login with steam option on website

[sweet idol]

I tried, it asks me to enter my email address and create a password, but when I do, it tells me: 'The email address from this domain cannot be registered.

[hidden seal]

you need a different email then

[brisk wharf]

it clearly says what you need to do

[sweet idol]

Yes, but if I use another email address, I won’t have the same Tarkov account, so would I be able to get the Arena mode and have my account on which I’m currently playing EFT?

[hidden seal]

no.... BSG account and steam accoutn do not need to use same email

you create a BSG account with one email and when you link to steam it will ask you to log on steam

the link is not trough using the same email

The auto account that steam creates for you will be GONE

and the account you will play even on steam will be your bsg site one

[sweet idol]

Thank you for helping me. I did what you said, but it tells me this and I don’t understand. I don’t know which account is connected: Your Steam account is already linked to another BSG account. Click on Sign in with Steam on the authorization form.

[hidden seal]

because you already linked your steam accoutn usign OTHER email

now you need to figure which one

you cannot have that many emails. search on them for any BSG messages

[silent sable]

how do i attach the schmidt 1-8x24 scope on the springfield rifle? what mount does it need?

[astral glen]

You can right click on the scope and press "linked search" and it will show all the mounts the scope will fit in

[sweet idol]

I only have one email address, and it's the one causing me the problem with BSG.

[hidden seal]

yu can try to log in and unlink it. But you shoudl do that only if you have not purchased anything else from BSG site

otherwise you lose the purchase

otherwise go to community-support more chance someone there has seen this

[astral glen]

Community support cannot help with account issues

The user must reach out to player support via a ticket or email

[sweet idol]

I can't log in with my email address. I tried, but it gives me the message "I can't use this address."

[astral glen]

We cannot help you with account issues, please email support at [e-mail]

There are no support staff members in this server

[sweet idol]

I've already filled out the form and sent it to them, but do you know how long I should expect to wait for a response?

[astral glen]

No we cannot give you an estimate

[sweet idol]

My account hasn't been hacked or anything, it's just that I've never been able to log in.
I don't understand why this is happening to me.

[hidden seal]

tomorrow being christmas eve might impose some delays.. so would brace for a slight delay dude

[manic sable]

i waited a few days for the initial response and then a few more for each follow up

but it can differ because like christmas and stuff now

[sweet idol]

Damn, I'll never be able to play arena mode, it's so annoying

[hidden seal]

only arena? the eft works?

[sweet idol]

Yes, I can play EFT since I have it on Steam, but since Arena is on the BSG website, I can't buy it and play on the same account as my Steam character.

[uneven vale]

is the only way to get support by creating a ticket on website?

[sweet idol]

And mail

[uneven vale]

u gotta link the acc on website to steam

[uneven vale]

alright ty

[sweet idol]

I've already tried, but I can't log in with my email address.

[vague orchid]

Wow I got all 9 drops by afking very bad scavs stream when I was asleep

[gilded dome]

bit of a new player here, do I even need to hold this in my special slot because it's taking up a spot and I have no use for it

[light pagoda]

you can remove it. i think it's more for the tutorial quest

[hidden seal]

I sincirely expected more tapes troughout the game

disapointed on it

[gilded dome]

alright man, thanks

[thorny whale]

are there any audio settings i need to change? feels like people can hear me slow walk form miles away but i cant hear them even if theyre right next to me

[hidden seal]

well I had a huge huge jump when I bought a good headset

If you use an office headset with band compression to only human voice.. that can be reason you do not hear others

[thorny whale]

i have a pretty good headset in other games like r6 or cs go ive always been able to hear everything but not in tarkov idk why

[gilded idol]

can i but stash expension on steam....?

[thorny whale]

do the headsets in game boost enemy movement audio?

[hidden seal]

no. stash expansion you need to buy on BSG site after linking your BSG adn steam accounts

[sick bough]

can i add anyone to use their gym?

[hidden seal]

yes

[hidden seal]

I have one only in pve

[uneven vale]

is pve worth it?

[sick bough]

oh i dont play pve

[hidden seal]

I liked a lot.. but I like the explore, loot part of the game.

I do not play for "fast paced combat" as some do

[uneven vale]

alrighty

[hidden seal]

not that you will not die.. PMC walk in larger groups.. and perfectly share your position among the group. So you can be overhelmed

but still less deadly than PVP

[bold jetty]

I have gym

[forest quartz]

Is there an effiecent way to level peacekeepr to level 2?
I have the level req but the dollars spent is wild

[hidden seal]

you will have to sell a lot of stuff to him to unlock lighthosue anyway

I just sell all weapons to him

[warped anchor]

Just buy and sell an aug. it takes like maybe 500k and 5 minutes

Both buying/selling count

[fallen swallow]

dont do that

if you have access to cultist circle, just buy 5 MP5s and do the sacrifice

[hidden seal]

In my PVE account i have 75K USD. half way toward my retirement fund

[fallen swallow]

it wil be every 6 or 12 hours i think

[forest quartz]

what does this do?

[hidden seal]

gives you free stuff

"free"

[forest quartz]

yeah but for peacekeeper level 2?

[fallen swallow]

you spend money

[hidden seal]

when you buy the Mp5 you are spendign USD with him

[fallen swallow]

and get task or hideout or whatever else item

[forest quartz]

oh he sells the mp5's

[fallen swallow]

yeah

[forest quartz]

Im following sorry! yeah i got cultist ill do that

[hidden seal]

there is a cheaper recipy for skier stuff but do nto involve USD

[fallen swallow]

might be a bit slow but its worth it

soon mechanic lvl 2, once i hit 20

takes forever lmao, even with completing tasks

[hidden seal]

mechanic is the bottleneck

cause locks workbench

damn workbench

[forest quartz]

To get the USD to buy the MP5's just sell shit to him?

[hidden seal]

yes

[forest quartz]

Sweet, sorry for dumb question, just started playing

[hidden seal]

I sell most weapons to him

[hidden seal]

no questions are dumb

[forest quartz]

brought the game back in 2017, played like 15 hours forgot about
Arc raiders was not that great, EFT hit the spot

[hidden seal]

arc raiders I only looked on youtube and looked.. generic as hell

I decided to buy tarkov after playing a lot of Escape from Duckov

[forest quartz]

Its full of people wanting a PVE mode, running round shouting 'friendly don't shoot' then crying when you kill them and not being friendly 😂

[forest quartz]

I almost got that instead of coming back to tarkov xD

[hidden seal]

well wanting a PVE is not so bad. But I think ideally instead of a PVE mode a game shoudl have good reasons to work cooperatively

[forest quartz]

tbf to arc raiders it does have good reason, they just wiped. But listenning to my friends on discord right now they are getting more mad than me xD

[hidden seal]

also movement looked a lot like these modern pseudo shooters mixed with moba

[rare nova]

Anyone new want some help with the game? I play on NA servers and on PVE

[forest quartz]

Are the gun smith quests worth getting done?

[uneven vale]

yes

[forest quartz]

ill get to it

[hidden seal]

yes specially up to 5 so you can buy ammo boxes

ammo boxes are the most beautiful boxes

[forest quartz]

Ammo boxes to store ammo, or the small boxes ammo come in?

[sleek briar]

Hey folks, anyone know if flashbangs work against black division?

[hidden seal]

store

they save a lot of stash space

[forest quartz]

perfect thank you!

[main stratus]

any other begineers wanna duo?

[thorny whale]

8 hours played and only managed to extract twice with pmc can somebody please help me. i would refund it if i could but its already too late

theres no way its normal for a beginner to die this often

[gilded idol]

i can

[sick bough]

Could I use it?

[hidden seal]

that is normal

[bold jetty]

Yeah TTVPhysii

[hidden seal]

it is... specially if you have not run practice more a lot to memorize paths before you went into raid

[thorny whale]

yeah guess ive gotta run practice then. just felt like it was a waste of time to do them

[lethal scarab]

is croshair x worth getting for tarkov

[warped anchor]

I warn everyone in ARC raiders that I’m going to kill them 😂

[forest quartz]

The only way!

[warped anchor]

I had 0.2 survival rate my first day on Tarkov. Had to pull up maps just to find extracts. Up to .5 survival rate and like 3 KD now.

[forest quartz]

Im just cooking but can do if your around after

[forest quartz]

I was ina similar boat, I sort of just focused on learning the Ground zero map as it will match with with people level 20 and below, now i know all extracts and am comfortable moving around
I also played about 6 hours of arena yesterday to improve my crosshair placement and get used to the way tarkov pvp plays

[undone drum]

DMed

[sick bough]

Thanks I’ve added ya

[shrewd python]

the most normal thing

game is very hard

[thorny whale]

yeah and frustrating as fuck

[shrewd python]

Yea did you do much research before buying?

you can always chargeback with your bank if you really hate it

xsolla will ban you but that might not matter to you

[thorny whale]

yeah im just running ground zero as well with the hopes of someday completing the first two side quests but i guess thats also gonna take a while

[nova spruce]

u gotta use the pratice mode man

[shrewd python]

Use practice mode, scav, look things up on the wiki, watch videos

[thorny whale]

watched a lot of videos tips and guides and just normal gameplay

[nova spruce]

its super dumb how unintiive the game is but fr u gotta do stuff like that to learn this dumb game

[shrewd python]

watching videos is not gonna do much unless it's very focused, like watch a video on the exact task you're trying to do

[thorny whale]

yeah scav is the only thing im doing rn since i dont have any weapons anymore wanted to try practive next round

[nova spruce]

😭

nah if u do the main missions you can unlock mecahnic and you can buy mp5s again

and ak 74us

they are pretty good for early levels

[shrewd python]

pp19 is all I use early on, just easier to put a sight on than the mp5
but you just need prapor

[shrewd python]

I'd be down to help out if you need

[thorny whale]

yeah tried to do them as well but i just havent managed to extract from customs

[nova spruce]

at least ur keeping at it tho and not quitting to PVE. pvp has lots of highs and lows. u'll come to like it eventually

or its just stockholm syndrome who knows

[thorny whale]

imma have to take a break for a bit but yeah id appreciate some help

[forest quartz]

scav raid every time its off CD as well

[thorny whale]

thats actually the only thing im doing rn hahaha

[forest quartz]

i can jump in and offer some help when your back, im not great but maybe a trio on GZ to help

[shrewd python]

amen

[forest quartz]

Yeah dont quit, PvP is rewarding when you getthe hang of it

[candid mason]

I have the items but it shows me that I miss a few but I have like 20 surv lighters in my scav box :/

[shrewd python]

they're not FIR

[candid mason]

ahhh

[shrewd python]

everything for that craft needs to be yea

[candid mason]

im dumb

[shrewd python]

except camera

[thorny whale]

is there any way to quickly fix my fence rep? its at -0,13 didnt know untill a few hours ago that killing scav was bad as a player scav

[nova spruce]

is it just me or are lv 4 helmets/ holo sights and selewas really common this wipe

[shrewd python]

one car extract will give you .25, you're fine

[shrewd python]

yes, yes, and yes

[thorny whale]

ohhh okay i tried to extract with a car on my last pmc rund but even tho i had 24k roubles with me i couldnt use it do i need somethign special for it?

[shrewd python]

no.. that should have let you take it unless you needed just over 24k or something
the car isn't always there though, but if you approached and it gave you the money prompt idk what went wrong

[nova spruce]

whats a good map for pain killers? i ran out of vaseline again 😭

[sharp briar]

any idea what to do here ?

been trying to link steam

[undone drum]

why not Analgin from Therapist?

But answer to your question is woods

Emmercom medcamp

[nova spruce]

[strong acorn]

Ok

[forest quartz]

What guns do people run regulary? im level 15 with all traders i can get to 2 at 2, but i dont know what sort of gun and build i should be running for regular raiding and questing

[fast aurora]

For me is this one, level 15 also

[light stag]

aks74

[bitter verge]

assorted aks

[nova spruce]

yeah i run the same

also brubv buy a scav junk box 😭

[fast aurora]

Hahaha yee I know bro

[nova spruce]

honeslty most guns are ass icl. even the normal m4s you get. if u run them stock the recoil is so much

thats why i always either run the ak or the mp5

[forest quartz]

Perfect AK it is thank you

[bitter verge]

just run whatever and see what you like and feel like you can use properly

aks are very common partially because theres 8 quadrillion rounds of 545 39 in raid

[undone drum]

My fav lvl 1 trader gun is UMP

barter for knifes. you usually can buy knifes from fence

[nova spruce]

i always forget to save them icl for the barter haha

[undone drum]

u can always buy them of fence

no need to safe and clock your precious space

[nova spruce]

ohhh thats a shout

[bold jetty]

Ill get you added back in about 20 mins

wich one of the 2 is better?

[fast aurora]

Usec is m4a1 kinda guns

Bear is AK kinda guns

[crimson thicket]

More people play USEC so for the couple of quests that require opposite faction dog tags I find BEAR to be better but it hardly matters

[glossy sleet]

usec is better cus of spawns i heard

[dusky magnet]

can anyone help me extract from interchange for that first quest?

[main skiff]

[meager shell]

Is the secret terragroup facility labs or am i missing something here?

[shrewd ridge]

Hey guys, my game just bugged and I was at the point on my Ticket story line ,where I have to build level 3 intelligence center to continue with Kermann. It crashed while I was talking with kermann after handing a drive from they are already here to mechanic and after loggin in to the game again I see a subtask - "Talk to Prapor". I don't want the ending with Prapor, I was legit grinding for Kermann ending. Is there any chance I can redo something or not? Liek create a ticket etc.

[astral otter]

yes

at least im guessing because the only transits to labs are on factory and streets, hence the optional objs

[pearl crater]

Where do i find this

[tidal lagoon]

mechanic

[pearl crater]

i haven't unlocked him yet

[tidal lagoon]

time to unlock him

Tips for killing rogues as Scav?

[bold kernel]

Does anyone have any issues using an audio interface w/ XLR mic? Not sure if my VOIP is working.

[shrewd sapphire]

do these stims not work in arena? they disapear when i load into maps

[vocal mist]

#beginners-chat message

[hidden seal]

yes the non secret secret facility

[hidden seal]

then do it it is the fastest way

you just need to extract customs

[dusky magnet]

Can someone help me extract on interchange for the quest?

[hidden seal]

did you play in practice mode yet?

do it a few times until you have memorized how to get to the 3 important extract points.

[dusky magnet]

A couple times, got killed by killa

[hidden seal]

interchange is the easiestso you already start without looking at the map first

the extracts are outside the mall, while you entered the mall if you are trying to learn how to leave the map?

[sleek briar]

Can AI see through deployed smoke?

[hidden seal]

stay outside in practice mode.. and learn to recognize what side of mall you spawned and hwo to get to the extract

omfg bsg I got so many 5.56 weapons on drops but zero ammo

[pearl crater]

How do i get a cms kit

[frank junco]

ai can see through walls lol, but no they shouldnt shoot through concealment like that

[pearl crater]

I littearlly got my stomach blacked out right at the start and limped my way to the otherside of the map

ran out of energy##

😭

[sleek briar]

Shouldn't 😄 Might try it in practice or something

[hidden seal]

[mortal field]

idk i was looking at the reviews on steam and they were complaining about long times to get into a match

[topaz forge]

it can be around 5 minutes sometimes

not that many cheaters

[mortal field]

cuz i wanna buy it but i might get destroyed

[topaz forge]

you will get destroyed

everyone does when they start

[undone drum]

4-5 min

[mortal field]

oh okay

[undone drum]

i don´t see much cheaters

[topaz forge]

most people who see a lot of cheaters are like, high profile streamers who only play labs and/or get stream sniped by cheaters

[mortal field]

ohhh thats why

[undone drum]

lot of new people see cheaters everywhere too, because of lack of expirience

[topaz forge]

you mean they think they do

[undone drum]

yeah, they see cheaters, even if being killed by legit players

[limpid lava]

Is there a list of all the hideout items needed FIR for the 1.0 wipe?

[hidden seal]

depend what you consider long.. 2-3 min

[mortal field]

oh it was people in reviews saying waiting 10 minutes then dying immediately to a cheater

[hidden seal]

I think only if you are sttuborn trying to force a specific server at a time of day where its population is low

usually is around 3 min

[mortal field]

i live in south east asia which server should i use or

[tidal lagoon]

queue times are a few minutes at most 99% of time and new people dont really know what a cheater is unless hes flying in front of them

[faint gate]

as a new player u will get destroyed but im still having fun

[hidden seal]

But you will die fast.. even if to a not cheater. I just managed to see a guy first get the jump on him and die like a lobster.. but the guy had 13K hours in the game

[mortal field]

im fine with that

[final sun]

Does anyone know why i just got demolished on lighthouse by "madknight". I am on pve and i was on the main road towards the water treatment plant

[hidden seal]

I am just unfortunately not good enough to do much progress... but still trying

[final sun]

heared some grenade and shots

[mortal field]

oh so theres pve and pvp type servers

[final sun]

no?

pve is a different thing you need to buy

[faint gate]

u gotta buy pve

[mortal field]

oh

[tidal lagoon]

a rogue killed u

[final sun]

damn

i thought i could just walk there on the road

[undone drum]

its a rogue name
are you familiar with rogues?

[final sun]

Decent but didn't know that it was their name

i am kinda new to lighthouse but i know some

[undone drum]

this is roughly how far they reach at day

[final sun]

oh wow ty

i usually enter at the bottom right but this time i thought like a fck it and i instantly regretted it XD

[swift acorn]

Any clues why im getting the message for twitch drops but not actually getting them

[hidden seal]

because technical issues

[jade relic]

Facking noob need a team for some securrity

[thorny crystal]

does anyone know how to link pve to arena

[hidden seal]

prapror is sendign wrong message template for the drops

[warped anchor]

How imprapor.

[hidden seal]

you sir got a 7/10 there.. good work

better than the joke prapor tells when you talk to him

[tiny minnow]

what is a good backback i could buy from flea?

[tidal lagoon]

takedown

[tiny minnow]

eh still kinda small can't i buy anything bigger?

[tidal lagoon]

takedowns are pretty good size, if u want the huge bags ure gonna have to find it or level up ur traders

[tiny minnow]

hm...alr then ty

[warped anchor]

Level up fence and Ragman

[manic sable]

prapor ate my fucking twitch drops

where ma loot

[topaz locust]

Back driving the help train. DM questions or group access request. Ill be on for a few hours

[gaunt wadi]

So is Shoreline supposed to just be the most miserable map mid wipe

i have tried 15 raids to finish humanitarian supplies and cant find any scavs without running into 3 mans with Supp. SVDs trying to get their punisher kills

[unkempt egret]

There's a reason it's commonly refered to as snoreline

[tough oyster]

So whats the trick with the cultist circle? I always give 5 mp5s and it always gives back crap

[forest quartz]

no gamble no future

But who knows i been doing the same thing xD

[echo flower]

Is there a reference list for which keys to hold onto?

[errant pier]

any tips on how to get over solo anxiety? I can only do one or two pmcs before i have to stop lol.

[undone drum]

how many hours do you have?

[hidden seal]

by embracing your own failure (not kidding) anxiety is the doubt on what is about to happen..

if you accept you will die all that changes is how long ahead.. for me made easier

although I still prefer to play with someone

[errant pier]

just under 350hrs. I mainly play with a duo but i dislike relying on them and wasting hours til they’re on.

[undone drum]

are they much more experienced?

[errant pier]

yes they are at 3k+ hours

[errant pier]

thank you

[undone drum]

how are they as teammate if you do mistakes?

[errant pier]

they don’t mind my mistakes. I always mess up my nades and they tend to have killed them quite number of times but they don’t yell at me or anything. More of teaching me when we play together.

[hidden seal]

so do be happy

[undone drum]

they are explaining why they decide what to do right?

[hidden seal]

the groups I found for PVP simply kick me as soon as they see I have such a bad aim

[errant pier]

Not necessarily. They have taught me what angles to hold and avoid. To always run when no cover and walk when there is some. I tend to get frozen up once a gunfight starts and more in solo.

[undone drum]

I see

[undone drum]

what parts of a solo raid gives you anxiety the most?

[hidden seal]

aa freezing is something that needs tiem to pass. On all games. Need to internalize basic responses

[errant pier]

Mainly always being worried i’m going to be shot at any given point or that i always have to look around lol

[errant pier]

Yeah my anxiety goes crazy

[undone drum]

like after 2 even successfull raids your stress is still up?

[hidden seal]

well I handle that part by movign on more slow pace and going around stuff to always have one side on cover

for me helps.. even if I advance much slower

[errant pier]

So far i’m learning PMC spawns to better help myself to get an advantage on some maps like interchange. Woods quests took me about two weeks on and off to finish such as the package needed from the mines.

[errant pier]

Just about yeah i’ll just stop cause i get anxious going into another lol

[undone drum]

is it because of fear loosing kits?
does it matter if your kit is super expensive or super cheap?

[echo flower]

tarkov is essentially a survival horror game for someone unfamiliar, time spent in game definitely helps, offline raids to familiarize yourself with the layout can help

[hidden seal]

one thing a friend told me helped me with that.. what ever you do do nto stand still at start. If you do not know the spawns the other guy will know and will fidn you exactly where he expected. If you move at least neither of you know where each other is

[errant pier]

Yes i think gear fear plays a huge part

[undone drum]

would you say its the main part?

[errant pier]

Interesting that’s a good insight i never thought of it that way

[errant pier]

Now that you’re mentioning it i think me having gear fear may play a part as a i tend to build guns and then get scared losing them. I have tons of helmets and plates but the guns i build cost me around 100k roubles to build.

[hidden seal]

so play with something less intimidating

like an AK with a holo sight

[errant pier]

I’ll check out some budget builds. Do i need suppressors or not really?

[solid lion]

just look up lvl1 trader builds

should be fine

[errant pier]

Thanks Nico

[undone drum]

move after a firefight and you should be good

[errant pier]

yeah i see people move very confidently and i try to replicate it but second i load it goes out the window lol

[undone drum]

do you feel like bringing the best armors and helmets make a huge difference for you?

[solid lion]

also, with the 10 days of drops you should be fine for the most part gear and money wise

[errant pier]

Yes i always run level three plates at least and level three or four helmets

[undone drum]

do you feel it helps you immensly in pvp and vs scavs?

[errant pier]

With scaving i tend to lose all anxiety cause i can just reload in with different gear at no loss. PvP PMC i feel like I get throated a lot at the beginning of a fight. So in this case not really.

[tepid arrow]

U get throated?

[undone drum]

you mentioned above, that you learn spawns, thats a great thing. you don´t need to fight them, you can always avoid them

[errant pier]

Generally dying by head or thorax

[tepid arrow]

Ohhhhh

[errant pier]

Yeah i’m currently using mapgenie as I preload and see where I am on the map to make mental note and spawns for future reference once i figure it out. I had and still have a tough time seeing where i’m currently at on interchange when i load in cause i just see the side of a building lol.

[tepid arrow]

If u rlly need to use practice raids

[errant pier]

Yeah i totally forgot about that thank you

[hidden seal]

the thing is in practice raids there are no pmc that run to you.. so the timmign is very different

[errant pier]

Navigating under the garage is like maze too for interchange haha

[undone drum]

if you are in a firefight solo, do you feel like fear and anxiety makes you not move, aim worse and do other things you know you shouldn´t?

[hidden seal]

just go straight ahead away from any glass or escalator and you will get to a garage exit

[faint gate]

its not ur loot just ur turn bro go ahead and use it

[errant pier]

I stand still and don’t move cause i fear i’ll make more noise than anything once i do. Aiming isn’t an issue for me from what i’ve noticed on the kill reports.

[undone drum]

nice

i think i got a full picture, i have an idea what to do

[hidden seal]

that is not such a problem if you stand still on a GOOD spot while you think

[errant pier]

I’ve been scaving a lot in and waiting in between timers to learn the map. I did a lot of customs on PvE but didn’t have any issue doing PvE since i knew it wasn’t real players. I’ve been doing a lot of streets at the moment to get keys to sell or gun parts from interchange garages.

[hidden seal]

funny for me PVE or PVP is equally scary

in fact I am a bit more tense on PVE because AI never not listen you

[errant pier]

I think it’s the unpredictability a player can do compared to PvE

[undone drum]

1. GEAR:

• run cheaper gear, cheapest gear you think is still effective - basically run a scav raid just with PMC
  --> its usually the positioning and bad knowledge that kills, so try to work on that with this aproach
  --> Armor is like a last defense you have, first is good position, second is unpredictable movement

[hidden seal]

yeah I get that.. but for me Players are predictable.. they will shot my face and kill me 😛

[lofty rose]

this the meta NL545 (GP) build?

[errant pier]

I’ll give this a try right now on customs for scav kills task. Thank you all.

[undone drum]

I still have 2 more points if you like 🙂

[errant pier]

send it please. I’m taking screenshots on my phone for references later on 🙂

[lavish kindle]

Has anyone else had issues upgrading Hideout stuff? I cant upgrade genny to level 3 , says Critical error "Cant reach loyalty level"

[undone drum]

2.) Playing unpredictably:
Your feeling that being discovered is bad is good, but you should approach this fear differently. Move away, to be even less predictable, being less discovarable

A rule of thumb for now:
Don´t engage people, if its not on your terms.

• being shot, don´t know from where? retreat, reposition, find another angle
• you see an enemy, who sees you too? retreat, reposition, find another angle
• Engage only if enemy don´t know you are there and
• Engage only if you can kill or have a good retreat path behind cover

[smoky halo]

which warehouse is the provide viewership mission in?

ok I just found it nvm.

[errant pier]

noted

[vague orchid]

finally completed great heights 4 after 3-5 million spent

[wanton hinge]

sheesh

that task scares me

i never started it

[undone drum]

3rd Every failure is a lesson:

• After every death: ask yourself what you could have done better. Make yourself a list with mistakes that killed you, make a | after similar mistake you made.
  This will shot you what to work on the most
• If you don´t know, what you did wrong: Record your deaths, post them here, ask your Duo

• knowledge will beat anxiety in the long run

[errant pier]

Thank you Arma and everyone

[undone drum]

Every map has optimal route to take, if you wanna avoid players. I feel like this is one of them

Cheers

just keep looking.

tool chests and tech crates are the best bet. maybe check around the tool boxes and such as well

[tall saddle]

for the tape yes, but your guide is pointing to a different ground zero pamphlet spot so maybe ill try that

[urban blaze]

Chat help.. Im fairly new, and I'm kind of ok to pvp. When I spawn I often rush my objectives, which leads me to death. Should I just loot around my spawn area for the first 5 min spawning?

[hushed wigeon]

no, theres some players that know spawns

i mean for looting its fine

but just be aware of who might be next to you

for objectives take it slow

[lofty rose]

maps like Shoreline, Streets, and Lighthouse all require you to play your spawn first and task second

[hushed wigeon]

some of those spawns are ass

i ran into a player a few seconds after i spawned in on customs somehow near sniper checkpoint, so theres always something new to learn

[prime comet]

congrats

you're the first timmy i've seen

check dms for a gear code

[urban blaze]

Okay makses sense ty

[urban blaze]

Gear code, where do i Redeem

[prime comet]

in the launcher

[urban blaze]

Ooh thanks!

[dusky quiver]

hi guys im new to the game and im looking for somebody experienced to help me out im on eu servers

[prime comet]

lmk what you get

i havent used one myself to find out

[main wedge]

I bought the game through steam, How can i change my login info for the portal?

[urban blaze]

Ill let u know, updating atm

[real dagger]

Can someone help with this ? Its about Ref quest To Great Height part 3. I cleared it and on arena it says to go to eft. But eft says Im not done yet. How can I figure it out ? I restarted couple times and it didnt helped.

[shrewd python]

just gotta wait, what you should do is when you're doing the task - everytime you win one go back to the main game to let it sync up
now that you've completed it in arena i'm not sure

[undone drum]

Login to eft after each win

[real dagger]

I logged on to eft after first and second win.

But second one didnt catched up between eft and arena

At the first It matched asap.

[shrewd python]

Yea that's annoying
I would just wait, the servers seem real wonky right now

[real dagger]

Oh okay. It seems just like that

[lofty rose]

this the test drive 1 build?

[reef chasm]

What should I do with all these crates given by twitch drop? I play a little PvP but rarely use PMC, mostly SCAV. Should I keep the Epic ones and sell every other boxes’ contents?

[lofty rose]

i lied, is this the best test drive 1 build?

[muted eagle]

i wish

[lofty rose]

TD1 is now 10 SR-25 kills, if thats what you mean

[muted eagle]

ah cool change

[shrewd python]

is it still over 60m

or with any specific attachments

[lofty rose]

no more distance requirment

yes requires the schimitt scope

[shrewd python]

holy shit that's free

[lofty rose]

yeah SR-25 is fun

[shrewd python]

test drive 2 sucks worse now though, I guess it was worth suffering through m1az

[lofty rose]

yup test drive 2 is now awful

gotta use an SMG with the fire rate of an M4 and customization options of an MDR from last patch

[shrewd python]

with like literally the worst optic

[lofty rose]

let me put that optic on an uzi pro pistol

and i wouldnt bitch at all

[hidden seal]

lol if it were not for twitch drops I would have gone bankrupt. I need to buy new eyes if I am going to learn pvp

[molten garden]

do i lose karma after kiling santa as pmc or scav?

[forest quartz]

As scav yes im pretty sure

[chilly crown]

why is this loadout not counting towards wearing an active headset but no armor?

[hidden seal]

is there any armor level on the rig or the googles?

even 1 count afaik

[digital tundra]

anybody willing to hop on? i play like shit and im level 3 scared shitless cant do shit but wanna play yk

solo tarkov be fuckin

ruthless

[boreal comet]

It says its already used but i dont have any of these items in my stash or messages

Is this an bug?

[finite sail]

is there no task for the event? didnt get any new ones

[hidden seal]

you described me.. but you can do one thing.. go forward accepting your death. If you accept you gonna die... really accepts the fear is vastly reduecd.. that until you loot something you really need 😛

[finite sail]

same, i claimed it on website but didnt receive anything in game

[digital tundra]

yeah but its like a horror game bro 😭 §

[boreal comet]

At least im not alone

[finite sail]

maybe theres a delay or something

[hidden seal]

naaa there are no xenomorpths.. if tarkov had xenomorphs I would piss my pants

or velociraptors

[digital tundra]

it has pmcs with loud ass guns

[boreal comet]

Try restarting you game

[digital tundra]

ill probably hop in a low pop region if that still works

[hidden seal]

I tried that yesterday and the first guy I found had 13K hours playing on low level Ground Zero matchmaker 😛

[hidden seal]

loud is good.. what you hear cannot hurt you

imagine playing tarkov with a xenomorth in the map..t hat could walk on the ceilings and walls

and was attracted by noise

[harsh talon]

may i ask how i can get this stuffs pls^ thanks ^^

[tiny minnow]

what is a good headset i feel like comtac 6 is too quiet for me

[forest quartz]

Don’t forget to claim your New Year gift in the Battlestate Games Account Center: https://profile.tarkov.com/profile/gifts

will try it ty

what are the ornaments for?

[digital tundra]

faaaaawj

[paper crow]

do vests count as armor for setting priorities task? i got 2 pmc kills wearing just a rig and comtac 2s (tried gssh ACTIVE HEADSET as well) and none of the kills counted??

[hidden seal]

if amored..yes

[real wave]

ok so i got the activated rfid card after crafting it for 36 hours, and i cant put it in my pmc's inventory
why?

[arctic bobcat]

for tour how do I ensure access to lighthouse and reserve?

[astral glen]

Reserve is 5 dog tags to Prapor
Lighthouse is $20,000 USD to Mechanic

[real wave]

do you maybe know what problem is with mine rfid card?

[reef chasm]

If I want to get 20k USD as fast as possible, is it better to sell stuff directly to Peacemaker or sell stuff to corresponding trader and buy USD with RUB

Which way is quicker and money-saving

[paper crow]

no a normal vest mate

[scenic lake]

what does the task say?

[worldly pawn]

What did you do to get the task started?
I dont have the task

[raw sun]

How tf do I unlock labs? I used the card to get there but died within 24 sec but it didn’t unlock

[boreal comet]

only transit ig

[shrewd python]

once you get the task from tour you go there and then have to visit 3 spots on the map

then you perma-unlock it

[raw sun]

So I have to the 3 spots and extract for it to be perma unlocked?

[shrewd python]

you don't have to extract, you can die after visiting all the spots

might be 4 spots actually iirc

[raw sun]

Damn it took me a whole day just getting to the keycard place and in my task thing it says 3

[shrewd python]

I mean you can transit to labs super easy under factory

don't bother with the streets transit

[raw sun]

I didn’t know that.. I was doing streets for that objective thing but that map is so aids

[paper crow]

"Eliminate PMC operatives while using an active headset without wearing any armor"

[raw sun]

I don’t even have factory unlocked yet

Haven’t been able to extract from customs either lmao

[weary niche]

I cant buy additional expansions, if I bought tarkov through steam?

[shrewd python]

def don't go labs yet then

[raw sun]

I’ve been able to save up 1.1 mill from interchange but I can’t do anything on any other map

[shrewd python]

that's just how tarkov works
you learn one map well enough to make money on it, use that money to bankroll learning the next map

follow your tasks, you'll make it to labs eventually

[raw sun]

What’s the best way to level up to 15?

[shrewd python]

follow your tasks

[torn rapids]

questing

do your tasks

[shrewd python]

do story tasks until you unlock all the traders and then focus the side tasks

don't worry about ref

[torn rapids]

don't bother with labs until your level 30 imo

[raw sun]

They all be asking to kill pmcs lol

[shrewd python]

There's simply no way

[torn rapids]

you should only have 1 kill pmc quest from skier

[raw sun]

Fence is asking me to kill 7 pmcs

[shrewd python]

ignore fence

[torn rapids]

don't worry about fence quests

[raw sun]

Thank god ok

[shrewd python]

do your story tasks - prob need to extract customs
that'll get all your traders unlocked and most maps, then do side tasks

[raw sun]

Does the story task still count if I do it as a scav?

[shrewd python]

no

only tasks you can do as a scav are tasks that ask you to find some item in raid, like salewas or gas ans

not unique items like prapors pocketwatch or jaegers note, just generic items you can find as a scav

[raw sun]

Oh okay okay

Thank u, u have been much help

[shrewd python]

no prob, good luck

[torn rapids]

nope, but if you're worried. extract with your scav and use that same exact kit it gave you, on your pmc

[raw sun]

That’s exactly what I’ve been doing lol

Ive yet to take any actual good weapons in a raid yet lmao

[torn rapids]

it's fine

[raw sun]

Any of this worth selling or keep?

[shrewd python]

win+shift+s and then ctrl+v brother
it's 2025

[torn rapids]

Keep it all for now i think

[raw sun]

Idk what tf that means man

[torn rapids]

unless you're hurting for money

[raw sun]

I’m not tech savvy

Idk shi about pcs besides playing video games

[shrewd python]

If you hit your windows key, your shift key, and your S key it'll let you take a screenshot of part of your screen
then if you hit control and V you can paste that screenshot wherever, like in this chat

[torn rapids]

but you can also look up items on the wiki and it'll tell you if you need anything found in raid

[torn rapids]

and then you know if you should sell it or keep it

[raw sun]

Clutch I didn’t know that

[hidden seal]

tried at level 6, did not end well

[raw sun]

Okay thanks I’ve been trying to figure out a way to find out if I needed to keep the things or not

This game is so damn brutal

[shrewd python]

as for what to keep and what to sell, that shit is entirely up to you
some people look everything up so they know exactly if they should keep or sell
some people sell anything they don't need at the moment and find shit later
you just gotta find something that works for you

[torn rapids]

i did it first try but that's more cause i know my way around and how to beg for my life 🤣

[hidden seal]

i keep telling, it only lacks a xenomorph hunting you

[torn rapids]

i heard someone in server "please sir im just a lvl 10 trying to do my quest!!!!"

[raw sun]

Bro begging for my life has saved me ass a few times

Some dude gave a shit ton of free loot once

[shrewd python]

voip is 100% the most underrated weapon

[gilded karma]

you guys know tyh ebest wayy to find new tarkov team mates?

[torn rapids]

yeah people can be very nice in this game

[shrewd python]

even if you just pretend to beg so you can figure out where they are and ambush em

[torn rapids]

legit, people underestimate this so much

[hidden seal]

but most prefer not to

[raw sun]

I’ve gotten lucky and have found two fully kitted dudes that crashed mid raid

[shrewd python]

#pvp-lfg

[wanton hinge]

i usually get shot in the head before I'm close enough to voip lol

[torn rapids]

if they know where you are, voiping doesnt give them anything, but if they voip back you know where they are

[gilded karma]

thank youy the gernal chat linked me this chat

[torn rapids]

run from cover to cover

[raw sun]

I only try it if I got the upper hand lmao

[shrewd python]

Rule one if you see a timmy, never let em beg

[icy sable]

ok where do i start from? i am coming from arena break out

[raw sun]

Still got a 2.35 kd tho

[wanton hinge]

usually i try to. since starting to play this game again i find myself lost 50% of the time shit is brutal

[raw sun]

For now

[torn rapids]

do your story quests

[shrewd python]

start by taking a hammer and smashing your balls
that'll get you a good feel for what's to come

[torn rapids]

it is, but it's very rewarding once you get a little better

even not a crazy amount

[icy sable]

i castrated

[shrewd python]

good, good

[icy sable]

by playing 13k hours of warthunder

[torn rapids]

when im playing in a group and im like "spawns to our left guys" and someone pops up there, i do feel a sense of satisfaction even if i die

[raw sun]

What level do u prestige at?

[torn rapids]

55

[wanton hinge]

yes that's my goal. I have 800 hours from 4 years ago... everything is so different now. Doesn't help that i only played customs back then

[raw sun]

Damn I was killed by a prestige 4 yesterday💀

[torn rapids]

yeah

[raw sun]

That’s insane

[raw sun]

U tryna run some?

[shrewd python]

but fr, there's a visit button above the traders, you need to talk to therapist and ragman and then follow your story tasks
use your scav
google some maps

[icy sable]

i want to understand armor and ammo, in arena u always want most expensive ammo

[urban hare]

Same in EFT

Generally

Look for high pen ammo if you have good aim, high flesh dmg if you are gonna leg meta

[shrewd python]

Ammo has 2 stats that matter
damage and pen
damage is what it does to you if no armor
pen is how well it goes through armor
highest pen ammo is most expensive, but high damage ammo can be useful sometimes too depending on what you want

armor is just class 1-6
6 best

[raw sun]

So like fmj is good?

[shrewd python]

depends on caliber

just look at the pen value

[icy sable]

can u just shoot legs and face?

[shrewd python]

if it has 10 pen, it can pen level 1 armor
20 pen, level 2
30 pen, level 3
etc.

[icy sable]

with shit pen ammo

[raw sun]

So 34 is good

[hidden seal]

0.05 is the best i have

[shrewd python]

there are faceshields but yea, that's common

[shrewd python]

middling

only pens level 3 and probably has low damage

[raw sun]

Most of my kills been low levels besides like 3 lol

[urban hare]

Legs never have armor, smg with high dmg ammo does wonders with leg meta… but you will feel ashamed after every kill

[shrewd python]

i never understood why leg meta was considered shameful, it's hard to hit legs

I don't really ever do it, but I'm never mad when someone else does

[wanton hinge]

i feel amazing after shooting a chads legs off

[urban hare]

? One of the largest parts of the human body lol wdym hard

[shrewd python]

I mean relative to the upper body the legs are much harder to hit, they move more

[raw sun]

When moving yes very hard lol

[hidden seal]

they move

[urban hare]

So does every other part of em

[hidden seal]

and usually are behjnd something

[raw sun]

Not chest fym

[shrewd python]

the torso and head do not move nearly as much as the legs lmao

what are you talking about

[urban hare]

If legs ar removing is the chest not also moving?

[raw sun]

Nowhere near as much homie

[shrewd python]

not nearly as much, the legs move seperatley, they're not like one block

[raw sun]

Have u ever watched someone run?

[shrewd python]

yea fr what is this

are you trolling

[wanton hinge]

does your chest move as much as your two legs when you are walking irl

[urban hare]

Yes twin? It’s lit a stick

Are yall baiting me I lowk can’t tell

[hidden seal]

displacement and movement are different things. legs get same displacement as thirax butcway more movement

[urban hare]

Obvi a tosro doesn’t move as much as legs but it’s not like the legs are separated from the body when running lol

[raw sun]

Bro…

[urban hare]

Twin

[shrewd python]

yes, obviously a torso doesn't move as much as the legs

[urban hare]

Ya

[shrewd python]

that's our point

[urban hare]

But it’s not a huge difference

The legs moving a little forward/back doesn’t change they are a huge target lol

[raw sun]

The legs are a lot skinner and move quite a bit more

[urban hare]

Not hard to hit at all

[shrewd python]

good for you brother, what are you trying to achieve here

[urban hare]

It’s meta for a reason my brothers

[hidden seal]

because has zero armor

[urban hare]

Achieve nothin, im like lvl 12. Just tryna understand yall

[raw sun]

I’ve yet to be shot in the legs lol

[urban hare]

Seriously?

[raw sun]

Always either head,chest or arms

[shrewd python]

the term leg meta is ironic, it's not actually the meta

[hidden seal]

think all my deaths were in the face

[shrewd python]

did you really think that shooting legs was the meta?

[urban hare]

I’d say a good 30% of my deaths have been leg meta. Others are just poor gameplay on my end

[raw sun]

Ngl I play this game like a absolute bish

I always die from either a sniper or someone in a corner

[hidden seal]

the meta is shooting the left eye

[urban hare]

Most effective strategy, shooting the thing with 0 armor is the most effective

[hidden seal]

yes the left becausr the right one is behind a scope

[urban hare]

Real, interchange still scares me

[urban hare]

Mmmmmmmm wait he cooking

[shrewd python]

No, using ammo that goes through any armor is far easier and most definitley the meta
leg meta is an ironic term to describe how you fight people who are actually using the meta

[raw sun]

I love interchange

Ngl one of my first raids I spawned with a sniper as a scav and accidentally sniped someone while he was extracting

[shrewd python]

"accidentally sniped"

[raw sun]

Didn’t know it was an extract

I didn’t accidentally snipe him

[shrewd python]

lol, just shittin ya

[hidden seal]

my only pmc kill was an acvident

[urban hare]

That’s not what meta means… if I have to spend a higher amount of money to do the same job, that isn’t the most effective tactic always.

[urban hare]

Evil

I must say, the sniper gameplay in this game is so fun

[hidden seal]

i missed a scav and face shot a pmc behind a bush further from the scav

[raw sun]

I bet he was so pissed😂 I went to try and get his loot but couldn’t bc it extracted me

[shrewd python]

ah, so using a double barrel and going in with no armor or gear is the meta
it costs 8k and "does the same job"

[raw sun]

That was my first ever successful extract

[urban hare]

Sounds like you intentionally killed the pmc and spared the scav for fence rep

[shrewd python]

are you listening to yourself

[raw sun]

Lmaoo

[hidden seal]

i could pretend that

[raw sun]

What level are u

[hidden seal]

8

[raw sun]

Oh nice I’m 9

Can u see how much ur stash is worth?

I wanna see what mine is worth rn

[urban hare]

If you get the kill ya lol. If my 8k blasts your 60k loadout then my Strat worked. Obvi everything is situational, leg meta hardly works at range, so a sniper/ar with high arm. Pen wins… but that isn’t the meta we’re talking abt. It’s close quarters, ratty, leg spam

[urban hare]

I think in overview

Like bottom left list iirc

[shrewd python]

I don't think you understand what people are talking about when they ask "what's the meta for this game"

[raw sun]

I don’t see it

[hidden seal]

the meta is level 6 armor

[urban hare]

He didn’t ask the meta… I brought up leg meta when talking about the ammo types?

[urban hare]

What you talkin abt lol

[raw sun]

Oh shit never mind I see now

[shrewd python]

.

[urban hare]

??? you just quoted me saying it was meta without anyone asking the meta. You literally proved my point

[raw sun]

Sheesh mine is worth 18876484

[urban hare]

I’m getting rage baited holy. Good shi bro

[urban hare]

Nicee

Sell it all and become 0 to hero

[shrewd python]

noice

[raw sun]

Might as well I got major gear fear lmao

How do I get this hk g28,

[urban hare]

I used to but then i realized it’s only pixels

[raw sun]

I found it on a dead body but I always see streamers use it

[shrewd python]

Money is only paper
doesn't make it easier to lose

[urban hare]

I mean yeah but would u rather lose money or pixels

[shrewd python]

late-game gun
don't bother with it rn, you prob won't be able to buy mags or ammo

[shrewd python]

are the pixels the ones representing my BTC account? What about my stock portfolio? All just pixels.

[raw sun]

I have 2 mags for it but definitely ain’t taking it out now

[worldly pawn]

still no new event quest :(

[wanton hinge]

take it to factory rn 💯

[raw sun]

Lmaoo idk about allat

[urban hare]

[raw sun]

I don’t even have that unlocked yet so kinda impossible

[urban hare]

Factory is fun icl

But ground 0 is my fav map so far

[raw sun]

I’ve been shit on in ground zero more than any other map so far lmao

Streets is full of closeted people with snipers

[urban hare]

Really? Just losing fights or

[shrewd python]

GZ has some brutal spawns if you don't know them

[raw sun]

Yes everytime I go in there is run into groups of two

I ran into a 4 man once almost shit myself

[urban hare]

This is why you force ur amigos to get the game to

Too*

And now UR the 4 man ppl are scared of

[shrewd python]

honestly nothing more fun than running into a 5 man as a solo

[raw sun]

All my amigos don’t game

[shrewd python]

their comms are so bad

"is that you" "is that you"

[raw sun]

Idk how u could play ts with 5 people

[urban hare]

It’s not to hard if you have all played tactical shooters before

[raw sun]

True with good comms ig

[urban hare]

My group and I have yet to run into a “is that you” past our first few raids

[shrewd python]

are you in a 5 man

[urban hare]

But I defo see how it can be an issue with no player tags or such

[raw sun]

U all touching tips the whole raid or sum?

[real wave]

there is new headphones like tep300, says you can get it from some quest from peacekeeper

[urban hare]

Norm 4 man but we have 5m before

[wanton hinge]

duo and I still do this every raid 20% chance he will shoot me in the head before we check
