Keeping silencers would be ideal, but seeing youre level 4 and cant buy the adapters, they will just sit in your stash until you can get the adapters for them

This fella goes on without an adapter

You can see the 3 suppresors here which go onto the barrel without an adapter, these are worth keeping and using

Hexagon, TGP and PBS

The AR-15's only have one which doesnt require an adapter
(bottom right)

Once you have your workbench you can bring this screen up to see which ones do/dont need a dedicated adapter (aka which ones to keep around until you can buy yuourself the adapters)

[hidden seal]

no.. but not available in traders level 1

[open grove]

Those little green symbols next to each one shows whether you have access to them via traders, yours will likely all be red currently

[tiny minnow]

would it be worth transiting between lighthouse and shoreline couple times then going laby for hella exp?

[obtuse light]

Is there like btr bug that when you drive it it tps you back to random stop? I just had game when i was on woods and checked up car extract and it wasnt there. I started to go towards norther blockade and btr came, i took ride to train depot but as i was leaving it it tp me to scav town again...WHAT MORE somehow car was there after that? like if i was tp to different server or something

Anyone else stuck with the setup quest🤣

[obtuse light]

i went so down bad for it

i stopped using shotgun and went with that single shoot rifle. Slapped long range scope and sit in construction buildings near pocket watch truck

[raw sun]

Can someone help a brother out with this introduction task🙏

[midnight matrix]

where/how often does buckwheat spawn? tried a bunch of scav raids (mainly woods for the ration crates, streets for duffles) but no luck as of now, I'll miss the whiteout achievement

there's a few spawn containers on the wiki, but clicking on each of them individually and searching for buckwheat doesn't give anything

[warm ice]

how much longer do i have on the event achievement and quests?

[midnight matrix]

I don't even have flea yet

are they level locked? they don't seem that pricy

[mossy ravine]

flea is useless garbage

[thorny whale]

how do i get better weapons? im lvl 10 and and have to run around with an iron sight almost every raid. i cant see shit with the iron sight on most weapons and therefore loose most of the gunfights im in. do i just have to avoid pmc encounters as much as possible untill i get better equipment or is there any way to find better weapons or unluck stuff? im sick and tired of my shitty weapons

i have my workbench but no weapons to mod and most of the attachments i cant buy yet

[open grove]

Peacekeeper/Skier LL2 is where a lot of the attachments for modding sights appear

At LL1 you can use this combo on AK's

Both from Skier 1

[midnight matrix]

going into edit build instead of modding allows you to see every part you can/can't buy at any point (shown by the green icon next to any item)
if the item doesn't have any icon (red nor green), it's an item you have in your stash

[shut spire]

Anyone wanna help me getting out of woods?

[open grove]

I’m busy but this should help a bit

[shut spire]

Ik the map layout but its about constantly dieing cause of shit gear xd

[open grove]

Ohhh ok, my bad

[midnight matrix]

there's some good yt vids about "safe paths" around woods, but imo learning pmc spawns/high traffic areas is better than anything

[lucid sentinel]

can someone tell me if i should put a car medkit and a salewa in mmy pouch or a grizzly med kit

[wary timber]

You dont need salewa and car

1 is enough

[lucid sentinel]

what else should i put in it

[wary timber]

something for heavy bleed and something for light bleed

[stable yew]

Does anyone know how to fix this? I was gifted Tarkov via Steam about a month. Then I used the EFT website to buy Prepare for Escape expansion. Got tired of Steam not letting the launcher launch and bought the Standard Edition and PVE expansion thru EFT website yesterday.
Now my account is only showing the Standard Edition. All my benefits of the expansion are gone. How can I get it to recognize that I've purchased the expansion?

[lucid sentinel]

is there a certain time limit i have to do quests for traders?

[gray island]

Is there anyway to make the game look higher resolution? I'm running 1080p but everything still seems very pixelated

[hasty ingot]

Not yet

[midnight matrix]

using AMD's VSR since yesterday and emulating 1440p vs 1080p is night and day

[obtuse light]

What the point for btr reputation? w here can i see it or what it does

[midnight matrix]

you can probably achieve the same super resolution with nvidia, although I have no idea how to set it up

[soft ivy]

How long will the winter event last?(the quest line)

[gray island]

oh wait is there a way for me to disable fsr 3 that might be what's doing it for me

[midnight matrix]

fsr3 makes the game extra blurry for no reason, and snow isn't helping its case

[gray island]

yeah that's what I thought

[hasty ingot]

Yep, only thingy left I want to do this wipe

[lethal bronze]

morning all, anyone online willing to take a noobie under their wing

[gentle monolith]

I keep going customs for tarkov shooter 6 but no sniper scavs spawn, do I have to wait some time or something?

[hidden seal]

I would meed to have a wi g for that .. right now at most I have a chicken leg

[hidden seal]

because you brought the expansion to the steam one and now are trying to use another account

[lucid sentinel]

does killing santa affect scav rep?

by how much

ive killed him twice

[stable yew]

I bought the expansion on my own EFT account. And now have bought the standard edition on my own EFT account.

[lethal bronze]

Ya lost me on that parnter lol

[obtuse light]

trying to do gunsmith but somehow- my gun is wrong?

[raven river]

i found it, the most unemployed person in tarkov

[reef chasm]

Did they ever change the “height” of in-game characters? I found a guide on how to use mil-dot to measure distance in Tarkov. That guide was 5 years ago. It mentioned that Tarkov’s character has a height of 133.8cm for some reason, and in this picture the distance calculation is 133.8 x 10 /3.6

Does anyone Chad here still use Mil-Dot to measure distance?

[tiny orbit]

Some prob do. But Im going by the feeling and it quicker + usually correct

[sharp leaf]

I just got the game and need someone to be my duo and teach me the basics

[balmy sentinel]

is there a anti front item i can wear with Arena lvl 3 mask in regular eft?

[vast jetty]

any tips on navigating woods with the snow going on? if i spawn near a landmark its easier but i got a few spawns where i had no idea where i am

[reef chasm]

Compass is always your best friend

[vast jetty]

i dont have jager yet

[reef chasm]

It may not show you where you at right away, but you sure as hell will be going to the right direction

[vast jetty]

still at tour/falling skies

[reef chasm]

Well you can always find some online maps that shows all the PMC spawn points. Check them one by one with your surroundings

[vast jetty]

already had the setup 😅

might just be that i need to learn it a bit more

[wooden gull]

you see big rock

big rock basically tell you where ur at in the map

and then u can precisely locate where ur at

but trying watching vids and remembering big ass landmarks for urself

[vast jetty]

pretty much

the only problem is
https://www.rxddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/1q0dfsw/me_trying_to_learn_woods_well_fuck_me_i_guess/

i can find my way around if lets say i see an antenna or smt

but if everything i see its rocks and trees, its gonna be a bit difficult

[quiet sinew]

i think untill feb 4th. did u get info on this? cuz im not sure

[gray island]

I used to play ABI and the strat in that game was to sell everything you get and just use that money to buy your next kit. Does this work in tarkov or should I actually hold on to gear?

[quiet sinew]

you can do the same in tarkov, depends if u wanna run the gear u looted

[patent estuary]

hi is chat abuse bannable?

[hidden seal]

There is stuff you need found in raid to upgrade hideout and complete tasks

also before you unlock higher tier traders you will have little purchase options

so keeping 1 or 2 kits of your raids is not a bad idea

[royal adder]

I require someone to kind of show me the ropes a little

[serene fable]

does the frostbite effect you inside the interchange mall

[open grove]

What stuff do you know currently?

[royal adder]

Loot, pick up stuff, shoot stuff, how to not die to random stuff.

Stuff I don't know are where to go for stuff that's important, what I'm supposed to prioritize looting and at where, how to know if it's a person or just AI, how to kill said person if it's a person.

😭

[open grove]

Ill dm with info one sec

[celest turret]

ZB016 on woods had a green flare but it wouldn't let me extract?

im looking for a friend/sherpa to help with the falling skies quest i keep getting killed by mfs with 1k+ houer in game and at least 1 prestige

[spring sand]

why do the traders be scamming me every other quest like skier wants 5k dollars right after i paid therapist 2k dollars how many more of these quests will there be.

[open grove]

Mechanic about to ask for $20,000 as well...

[quiet sinew]

thats why i only did tour xd

[spring sand]

bruh will this unknown item atleast be good? 5k dollars might be my whole stash lol

[open grove]

It unlocks skiers main questlines

Think of it as paying him to do business with you

[spring sand]

i gave up on the story quests just doing side quests right now

[spring sand]

[quiet sinew]

same xd i feel like story line quests are for late game

[open grove]

That's skier!

[spring sand]

i just finally reached a good ruble safe ammount and skier wants it can he smell my money

Also are purple items for quests like the bulbex and sprats or should i sell them?

[sick tree]

??codes

[red thistle]

Redeem your goodies → https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/promo/activate (Or launcher → your name → activate code)
SBEUKOMAR | SCAVYBOI | GOONSQUAD | LIGHTSOUT | PAY2WIN | ELVISVISTA | ju20fu2620idfh88

[open grove]

Purple items are classed as rare, but theres rarer blue items and some worthless purple items- dont read too much into the pruple colour

But basically purple is a streamer item or a rare spawn

[open grove]

You need 1 bulbex in the whole game, for Generator lvl 2, after that quick sell them to therapist

[quartz magnet]

probably best to search those items on the wiki to see what theyre used for. the colour of items generally doesnt matter as some blue items are rarer than purple, etc.

[spring sand]

will do thank you

anyone know if there is a face cover or something i can put on while having a helmet and earpiece on to stop frostbite

that can be bought from traders or crafted

[crimson thicket]

There is not

Arena item only on battle pass like 100 or something

Otherwise it's fleece hats or the class 3 helmet from Ragman

[spring sand]

nice found in raid salewa check those keys in flea maybe they worth something

[ivory trench]

can someone confirm if streets of tarkov has the snow effect going on right now and what i need to buy in order to not be effected by frostbite?

[open grove]

Items that prevent frostbite

Yes streets is snowy currently so youll need one 🙂

This helmet does it

[ivory trench]

thanks! Any ideas where i can get the beanie, i remember someone saying ragman i believe but went to check and he didn't have

[open grove]

Ragman level 2, at level 1 i think its just that helmet

[ivory trench]

got it thank you!

[thorny whale]

you can barter the ushanka at ragman for a knife. specifically the one with the bronze/gold at the end of the handle

[ivory trench]

yeah i just did that lol

[thorny whale]

ah ok

[ivory trench]

sorry, another question, is there a qucik drop button? when im sorting through my backpack in game?

[muted eagle]

its the del key, but i changed mine to mouse 4

[open grove]

Yeah definitely worth re-keying it to something you can reach faster or you have to do move your hand off wasd

[elfin horizon]

bro ive been trying to figure out that button

[eager dawn]

anyone know what i need to do? ive got intel 3 and obtained all notes in ap keycard room. survived labs to discover theres no encryption device but no dialogue options. i checked elektroniks apartment too and the device isnt under the table

[signal crow]

Can someone help me complete my quests on woods

[rigid pagoda]

Yeah me too

[simple aurora]

you have to keep playing labs until it fails that objective, after that u talk to mechanic, wait a bit and he will ask for 40 bitcoins after u pay him you wait and then go to elektroniks apartment, look up a guide they are easy to find

[eager dawn]

So in the screenshot you’ll notice I failed it like I’m supposed to but I’ve got no dialogue options or new tasks? Not even an update to the subtask or anything

[simple aurora]

you need black card and go to Cardinal apt in streets and interact with the painting in the master bedroom then use black card on the keycard holder(it doesnt use health from the card) and then read the paper in the safe next to the bed that will now be open

[simple aurora]

.

[eager dawn]

anyone wanna help me out pls

What are the chances for tagilla to spawn on factory and does he just run to any shops he heard

Shots*

[muted eagle]

all bosses have 75% chance

[crimson thicket]

Tagilla is 50% on day factory

75% on night factory

[molten nova]

how much HP does zyriachi have? i dealt 780 DMG to him but he is still alive and 1 taps me?

[crimson thicket]

Check wiki, a couple thousand I believe

[molten nova]

1655 but his head only has 175, shouldnt 9 bullets of warmage be enough to kill him?

or did i miss a update

[crimson thicket]

If you hit his head yeah

Did you only hit his head

No arms no thorax

[molten nova]

i mean only his head was visible

possibli hit his neck and that counted as a thorax shot?

nevermind i will figure it out eventually

[crimson thicket]

If you hit neck yeah that's thorax

[civic leaf]

I also found out tagilla has antlers on fhe hard way

[rigid pagoda]

can someone help me with the falling skies quest?

[mossy ravine]

ur trying to kill zryachiy with 556?

[burnt creek]

When do player scavs spawn on reserve?

[high oasis]

can an experienced player tell me how many times do u survive labs?

whatever i do it seems impossible to survive

i survive like 1 raid out of 25

[drowsy scroll]

What headsets do yall mainly run?

[vital hinge]

wtf is this objective

it's not in the wiki and when i try going to lighthouse to the torture room it doesn't work

[ivory trench]

naw this game is fucking insanely ridicolous im literally just trying to extract for the first fucking quest and i have died 15 times

[vital hinge]

comtac V or gssh :

• Comtac VI is too expensive compared to V, which are both high quality headsets
• gssh is just enough usually

usually the headset isn't going to determine who lives and who dies

[arctic beacon]

i havent made it out of raid ina week

[undone drum]

try to analyse what you could do differently

[wooden gull]

??headset

[red thistle]

Thanks to Gigabeef, here is a mostly complete guide on general usefulness of a headset. Updated for 1.0: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/781529813248507925/1442924919133311130/image.webp?ex=6927340c&is=6925e28c&hm=12271f4dea35facfdb131d17bd344dfecf7d5439d68293a91dbc64a730b1a711&

[wooden gull]

m32 tbh

cheap and easy

[drowsy scroll]

Yes but just becuase some are better then others doesnt mean the audio is worth it

like some might have farther range but are crunchy

[wooden gull]

m32

[drowsy scroll]

i normaly run m32s or sordins

[wooden gull]

ew sordins

[bold schooner]

what i be up against as a 150 hour plaer

[drowsy scroll]

12k is actually insane

[wooden gull]

no sbmm

[eternal shoal]

level 8 na, i need to survive and extract on woods. Any helpers

[bold schooner]

500 days

[forest skiff]

where do I spawn in lighthouse if I transitted from reserve , meant to transit to woods but made a mistake

urgent

as im loading to lighthouse

and ive only ever played this as scav

[vital hinge]

northern part of the map

as in around the train

[forest skiff]

ah ok I think I know that part

[forest skiff]

probably best to transit to woosd maybe

[vital hinge]

yeah you can

it should be easy and safe from your spawn

[forest skiff]

yeah

thanks

[arctic beacon]

matchmaking is fucking attrociuos

[forest skiff]

now I understand the benefit of transits

[vital hinge]

you'll probably spawn below the "transit to reserve"

see the spawn point

i mean we can't see it from your map

the arrow should be your spawn

[open grove]

Did they fix this? Always used to randomly spawn you in regardless of what direction you technically came from

If so thats awesome

[vital hinge]

mmmmmh yeah i remember that

actually now that you mention it idk

[forest skiff]

other people are taparently spawns are sitll random , got spawned south of the big show resort

[vital hinge]

sorry

[forest skiff]

what are the benefits of transitioning if you still get random spawns , as an "easier "extraction ?

[undone drum]

it counts as survive and extract if you need it for quest

some people say better spawns

for the next maps

[forest skiff]

ah I see

[forest skiff]

well that was a lie hahah

[open grove]

Transit adds an XP multiplier

[undone drum]

better spawns = close to the transit

predictable spawns

[open grove]

Each transit done back to back increases final XP gain, they upgraded it recently so the xp multiplier is even more. Leading to someone getting 1,000,000XP from 1 raid (they transited over and over and over etc)

[vital hinge]

we were talking about that

it seems like it is random

[undone drum]

maybe not sure

[forest skiff]

ah ,well that is fair-ish I spawned not too far from shoreline transit and shoreline extract

[open grove]

Here’s the multipliers

So 2 transit is double XP now, instead of what used to be +25%

[arctic finch]

how much time did that take

[vital hinge]

and after 10.6 ? Are there any data ?

[open grove]

5 hours, which actually isn’t that long seeing a raid can be 45 mins etc

[open grove]

Probably not, as it looks like someone pulled the game code, probably stops there or they would’ve added it

[arctic finch]

unemployed pro max

nah jk i might start doing transiting to boost xp gain

transit brings you into a fresh raid right

[open grove]

Yes and you spawn at raid start

[thorny whale]

i tired using flare extract on customs but still got shot by ai outside of the map. did i do something wrong? literally saw the green flare up in the sky just before i died

[open grove]

Good thing is when you transit you can pay to send stuff back to your stash. And seeing there’s transits everywhere, you basically have a safe way to guarantee getting your loot out without needing to first cross the map

[open grove]

The hand flares fire slightly behind where you aim, if you aimed vertically up, it would’ve went backwards and not triggered the extract

[thorny whale]

oh my fucking god

[open grove]

Instead, aim at about a 45-60 degree angle forwards, and it’ll fire upwards and ahead of you

[open grove]

When they added flares, we all did this on day 1, no one was safe from the backwards flare

[thorny whale]

finally had the chance to complete a quest ive been trying to do several times now and after hundrets of deaths i die like that just before the finish line....

[open grove]

Brutal, you’re not the first and won’t be the last 😅 it’s very counter intuitive

[strong barn]

if it makes you feel better, Ive played for many wipes and I still do this from time to time
except its with a group of teammates who die to my negligence 😭

[vital hinge]

it also has to reach a certain height so or else it won't trigger

[thorny whale]

shooting flares is way to complicated 😭

[forest skiff]

not really

aim at 70 deegrees to the sky

[ionic estuary]

looking for somone to teach me the game i just dowloaded the game today ive played games like this be around 15

[forest skiff]

is it possible to loot someone you kill on their way through the flare extract or do snipers resume shooting quickly if you dont leave?

[wooden gull]

i mean are u taking green flare ?

i wouldn’t risk it unless ur taking it also

if you do should have enough time to take gun and rig and dip

[lucid sentinel]

I juust found 2 weapons in raid to give to mechanic but they dont show up, how do i give them to him?

[open grove]

Presuming this is gunsmith, they need to be modded first, check the wiki

[autumn karma]

any downside to trying to farm Zryachiy before starting The Ticket story mission or Network Provider Part 1?

[open grove]

The yellow tick displays when you have the gun in raid, then goes once you start modding it, then reappears as a yellow tick again once the weapon has all correct attachments on

[lucid sentinel]

is there a set place that tthe plane crashes in woods? i need to find it for a task

[rigid pagoda]

look it up on the interacticve map

its east of the saw mil i think

easy to find it hard to get to it i tried 4 times and got killed by mfs with 1k+ hoers in game each time

[fickle vector]

Yeah its directly east of sawmill. I play PVE and went to it twice now and I think it's bugged because I extracted and now it's saying I didn't do anything

[rigid pagoda]

its on the interactive map on mapgeanie.com or smt like that

im still stuck on that quest bc of fucking no lifes everywhere

woods is such a bad map pmc spawn one next to another

[fickle vector]

And that's why i went to PVE lol

[rigid pagoda]

i wish i could afford or spend money on my acc

[zinc shuttle]

I am new and am looking for people to play with, how do I go about doing that?

[uneven umbra]

anyone have like a list of inventory shortcuts or something?

[manic sable]

ctrl + lmb puts it straight into ur inv, alt + lmb puts on a piece of gear/gun immediately and DEL (default keybind, would change to shift + lmb) deletes/discards an item

[uneven umbra]

alright thanks

[warm ice]

Can someone help me with trouble shooting. i still cant collect the quest reward for completeing "to great hights - part 5" it says completed in arena, but when i switch to eft it doesnt have the turn in or complete option for me to complete the quest. i have transfered money from arena to eft and have played multiple matches in arena and still havent been able to completed it in eft. It doesn't even has any progress in eft side at all. What should I do?

does bitcoin farming get you money?

it gives you bitcoins

[red thistle]

Sherpas are players who help beginners study the main game features and improve their skills to survive the harsh Tarkov environment. This difficult and honorable task falls on the shoulders of the most friendly, patient, and, of course, experienced Tarkov citizens.

Sherpas are volunteers who dedicate their time not only by teaching others but also studying Tarkov themselves, adding to their knowledge of the game. Selfless aid to new players greatly contributes to the growth of the Escape from Tarkov community.
When teaching beginners, Sherpas rely on their preferences in the game: location, weapons, equipment, tactical moves, and their unique gaming experience.

[gilded patrol]

Hey guys, iam lvl 4 currently and have noticed that the gear I use is not really consistent and mostly just the guns you spawn with as a scav. So after checking what the traders i have unlocked sell, i created a spreadsheet for a low level budget loadout. Can anyone have a lock at this or is creating loadouts even worth it at this low lvl?

[civic leaf]

Whats your pen on the ammo

[compact wind]

58d 14pen

[gilded patrol]

yep, 14

[civic leaf]

💀

Just left spray

[ivory trench]

is there a weapon i can check that tells me what items i will need for quests/hideout?

[civic leaf]

Leg*

[compact wind]

check out the tarkov wiki

[civic leaf]

You can also get an overlay

[gilded patrol]

should i use better ammo or is this just the one i have to take given my low level?

[civic leaf]

Nah just aim for the legs

[compact wind]

id try pst, if you have it. 20 pen compared to 14. but not much you can do with low level 9mil

[ivory trench]

where should i check out on the wioki?

[compact wind]

if you google tarkov hideout wiki it should pull up everything you need for the hideout

[ivory trench]

got it thanks

[compact wind]

❤️

[gilded patrol]

okay, what about the armor? Seems pretty expensive for class 3. I need like 1 Scav Run to just get the cash for it.

[civic leaf]

Buy the black/bluish vest from ragman

[ivory trench]

man i hate this frostbite event its so crippling for new players

[compact wind]

you can put a beanie on and the cold wont hurt you. just be careful from headshots

[civic leaf]

Or just tuff it out

[gilded patrol]

Thanks for answering my Questions kdogboys and Oruken. You guys really helped me out.♥️

[crimson thicket]

The "meta" so to speak for starting out if you don't have anything to run is to buy the PACA from Ragman, upgrade to something better in raid / off dead scav

Scavs will often run lvl 3 armor, sometimes lvl 4 armored rig

[gilded patrol]

Ahh okay. And then probably insure the Paca because its just not the best so no one will take it. Thx

[crimson thicket]

I recommend always clicking the "insure all" button.

Insuring something is always cheaper than re-buying it from traders. And anything can happen in a raid.
Die to AI and no one sees your body.
Someone kills you and then gets killed by someone else and your body goes undiscovered.
Someone kills and loots you but dies trying to extract or finds something better and drops your stuff. It's always worth it to me imo

[gilded patrol]

Okay, makes sense. Does a reflex sight on a gun make sense at low tier? Or is the standard sight enough?

[ivory trench]

can someone fucking explain how this mf is not dead after eating 22 of my bullets

does 0.56 accuracy mean 56% accuracy?

[crimson thicket]

Kind of depends on the gun.
I can't stand the stock m4a1 iron sight for instance.
Ak irons aren't awful.
Optics are generally better but your options are really limited at lv 1 traders, they're kind of plentiful from military loot boxes tho

[gilded patrol]

Okay, im gonna experiment a bit. Thanks for the help

[crimson thicket]

Yes. Also 722 damage absorbed by armor

[civic leaf]

Is there an easy way to avoid tagilla because every single fukcing raid i die to gim

Solely because hes coming to me im not even pushing him

[civic leaf]

Whats the easiste way to farm tagilla

[placid quest]

on factory

[placid quest]

make sure you use high pen ammo and aim for face. If you have ammo that does high damage, aim for legs.

[placid quest]

you hit his plate/armor, "damage absorbed by armor" is the damage that he didnt take that his armor protected him from. If this is a regular PMC they have 440 HP like you. You only did 323 damage, you messed him up but you didnt kill him.

[civic leaf]

Ok i have a mag full of qp for him

Also is his helmet any good

I know it has 40 health

[crimson thicket]

Yes it's tier 5 and you can wear it right now with a fleece to avoid cold

It's kind of buggy with getting naped from the front but it's better than alternatives for avoiding frostbite atm

[ivory trench]

should i just constantly be using my money to buy gear from traders when i have absolutel yno gear?

[crimson thicket]

Basically yes. Run minimal kits for 100-150k roubles and upgrade stuff from in raid

[ivory trench]

what would be considered minimal kit? and wdym by upgrade stuff from in raid

[placid quest]

good old fasion mosin with irons and a lvl 4 diaper rig

[ocean shuttle]

can i get some help i just started playing this game NA

[ivory trench]

something like this?

[placid quest]

basically use low cost kit, find better kit in raid, swap it out, use that

[placid quest]

thats good

[ivory trench]

gotcha

[ivory swift]

is there any way to get around without getting a body full of lead?

[placid quest]

u can use the green SSH helmet. itll give you protection from the cold and bullets

[ivory trench]

got it

thanks!

[placid quest]

shoot back

[crimson thicket]

Learn spawns, map flow, use sound

[ivory swift]

I run naked because all my guns are gone

[placid quest]

run some scav raids, make some money, buy some gear, loot/quest/learn, repeat

[ivory trench]

is there a fast way to improve my rep with fence? feel like that lower scav cd is really good

[crimson thicket]

Use car exfils for the earliest boost

[placid quest]

use car extracts, survive scav raids, complete daily quests from fence if you have them, kill pmcs as a scav, use co-op extracts as a pmc.

[crimson thicket]

The first time you take a car extract on a particular map gives you a huge rep boost, then diminishing returns each subsequent time you take car on that particular map

[placid quest]

i just noticed, make sure you repair your weapons so you wont run into malfunctions as often

[ivory trench]

got it, do these car extracts always show up in game but just at diff times?

i just fucing died tried to do the car extract in ground zero cause i got sniped by the out of bounds guy

[civic leaf]

How

Also there not guaranteed to be there

[lucid sentinel]

does anyone know if i can do the falling skies quest as a scav

[placid quest]

Car extracts are on lighthouse, customs, shoreline, woods, and streets. Shoreline car extract is always available. Its totally random if a car extract is on other maps. Customs extract is at Dorms next to 3 story, Shoreline is north of Emercom base, Lighthouse is on the road past the Rouge Base, Woods is at Old village in the NW part of the map, Streets is between cinema and Lexos.

[placid quest]

No

[civic leaf]

Nah g9tta be a pmc

[ivory trench]

what about the things like police cordonv v-ex in ground zero?

[exotic quiver]

Hey guys, new to the game, how would you get better at gunfights and position?

[placid quest]

yes that is a car extract, you already know where that is

[ivory trench]

got it thanks!

[placid quest]

learn maps, angles, etc. Same as any other shooter if youve played them.

[ivory trench]

where can i go to buy the mosin even

[placid quest]

Prapor

[ivory trench]

ah shit

hes not unlocked yet, any other gun b/w fence and ragman and skier?

[placid quest]

check what kind of ammo you have in your stash you have the most of. What ever caliber that ammo is- is what guns you should use

[ivory trench]

got it, and then these ornaments i have in my inventory where do i turn those in, cant seem to find the event

[placid quest]

They are used to build the Christmas tree. You need to have some things already built in you hideout to build the tree.

1 of each color to build it. Then it unlocks difference crafts for different recipies of ornaments.

[civic leaf]

Im struggling with gunsmith part 1

[placid quest]

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

[fathom steeple]

[ocean shuttle]

Yooo, i'm looking for someone (EU) to game with

[tepid shale]

Seeking some help with soreline, need some quests in the resort but getting slaughtered. On OCE servers though

[grizzled glade]

looking for some help with quests if anyone can

[nocturne roost]

why i havn't next object

[proud iron]

NA east, over 2k Hours. happy to help new players get tasks and junk done. Beginners zone #1 is where you can find me

[proud iron]

You failed one of the objectives. and or its bugged. either or

[nocturne roost]

what

so what should i do

[proud iron]

Check the wiki

[grizzled glade]

anyone willing to help with questing?

[reef chasm]

I have some problem with M700 Sniper Rifle, I can’t seem to get it to reload right.

1. I tried replacing magazine. But every time I press R my character load bullets directly into the chamber instead of using the magazine I have in the pocket.
2. I tried not bringing any magazine. But my M700 wil ALWAYS load into 4/5 instead of 5/5. And I wasted a bullet doing that. When I pressed R at 4/5, my character grabbed one bullet from pocket to insert. But after that my rifle is still 4/5 and I lost a bullet in my pocket

[proud iron]

So for the second point, the rifle is bolt action. meaning that when your character opens the bolt to load the bullets it pulls one bullet out of the gun. the only way to load 5 outta 5 is by not having the gun out and loading it in your inventory for some reason

also make sure you are using the correct mag with the m700

[reef chasm]

So to not waste any ammo, I should spend the whole magazine and chamber first and then direct load into chamber?

[crimson thicket]

If you're loading through the bolt, yes

There are also a few different m700 mags depending on what body you are running on the m700

[proud iron]

well if you have the correct mags to reload the gun then you dont need to load the chamber. but if you are loading the chamber you should

What mags are you running with it?

[reef chasm]

Default M700 with Wyatt 5 rnds

Oh… I don’t think that magazine is supposed to be changed. Like SLS magazine.

[proud iron]

no those mags are replaceable. but it is possible to load a mag in the gun like how you would a mosin

you 100% sure those mags are in your pocket/rig?

[reef chasm]

Yes. And I still loaded bullets instead of replacing another Wyatt 5 magazine

[proud iron]

hold down R, do the mags show up in the top of your screen?

also make sure the mags are loaded

I dont think the game will automatically load empty mags

also odd idea. make sure the mags are to the LEFT of the bullets in your pockets

[latent cipher]

You only top load guns when the mags you have are either not usable in your gun or outside of your rig/pockets

[reef chasm]

Thanks guys. I’ll look into it later

[reef chasm]

The mag is actually to the right of my bullets when that happened

[latent cipher]

This means nothing

[proud iron]

naw it might. tarkov uses the mags from left to right. So if the bullets are first, the game might be tripping up at there

[idle tide]

I'm drowning in Twitch drops, having backpacks and rigs filled to the brim with stuff.
And I still have like 20+ Drop boxes to redeem. Not complaining, but:
Now I sold so much (while my hoarding brain cells were screaming), so I have 1.1 MR on hand... just enough for a Scav Junk Box. (my very first one)
Buy? I think I should, hm?

[burnt creek]

Can i just go to terminal now

[fleet seal]

hey guys
how can i make sure that only keys in my keytool be used when unlocking a door
where should i place it ?

in my pouch (gamma) i put keytool first, and a docs case next to it
If i loot a key i already have i drop it in the docs case
but when i open that door it's using the new key rather than the one in the keytool
I tried to reposition but i can't figure it out

[proud iron]

100% gonna save you time. plus 1.1 mill is not that hard to make

[proud iron]

as far as I know, you cant

[fleet seal]

so you're saying the game chooses a key at random when i open the door
no mater where i place it ?

[toxic zinc]

should always be most top right key no?

top left sry

[cloud basin]

When does event end? As in when can i not get the acievement anymore?

[silent sage]

Pretty sure its like february, you have lots of time

[hidden seal]

you should end up having SEVERAL junk boxes

containers are the best items in game

[grizzled glade]

lfg someone to run some quests with im quite neqw

[fallen swallow]

4 is the minimum imo

For junk boxes

[idle tide]

I found a fluid box or what it's called. If I get some more containers, this will be a game changer.

[tawny mesa]

is dorms 314 worth opening_

[silent sage]

depends what you need, sells on flea for like 4mil but you will most likely profit and get more than that

[tawny mesa]

i heard marked rooms were nerfed so idk if you could get profit anymore

[late swan]

They have been pretty mid since winter update

[silent sage]

Its just luck, Ive hit a full marked key and gotten nothing too crazy, or profited 3mil from a single hit

[tawny mesa]

alright imma give it 3 tries if i dont get atleast 1 mil im selling it

only level 27 rn tho

[cloud basin]

Oh thank god
I heard som1 on reddit say jan 6 and another guy somewhere say yesterday but ig the 2nd mustve been refering to twitch drops

[lethal scarab]

what dose arena ryzhy edition even add ?

[main harness]

How do i find exit points

[zinc siren]

just did a run on streets for the first time in a while. Is it normal that no buildings you go into help from the cold right now? Seemed like every building i went into never helped warm me up at all.

[plain dawn]

Does the mild/severe muscle pain from the gym impact your strength/endurance gain while running a map and doing extracts?

[reef chasm]

Hey guys. I’m doing the quest of using MP shotgun to kill PMC in PvE. Should I use 17 pen 140 dmg slug or 12 pen 190 slug? Or something else?

[open grove]

Only affects gym XP bonus, nothing else 🙂

[plain dawn]

👍

[open grove]

Slugs arent ideal as PMCs will have armour, and slugs dont penetrate it, you coudl chest them 7-8 times and they would be fine. Headshots or leg shots are your best friend, for both of these a round that spreads is ideal. Express and magnum buck for pure flesh damage, flechette/prianha if you want to penetrate lower tier armour

Personally, id use express/magnum and aim for the face(only 1/2 pellets need to connectfor a 1 shot kill), or flechette and 4-6 rounds will shred through their armour due to the high pen of flechettes

[open grove]

Devs expect everyone to be running anti frostbite gear at the moment, whether intended or not its best to never do a raid without anti frostbite gear

[obsidian flower]

Thanks bro

[unkempt egret]

Can get some good stuff, some great stuff and some vendor trash. Can't do anything with it in arena anyway so might as well transfer it

[blissful harbor]

new to the game is it worth to sell a gpu i found for extra money in the beginning im broke broke

i also have a ledx from the tutorial but i feel i should keep that

[wary timber]

Fir gpu?

Ledx needed for quest and med station lvl 3

And fir gpu, 3 are needed for quest

[blissful harbor]

right at the time tho would i be ok selling this one or should i keep it

[wary timber]

If ur desperate for cash, you could sell it but imo keep if u can afford doing so

[blissful harbor]

alr ill keep it ill just wait for scav runs to make more money. i have nothing rn so everytime i go in im cursed by scavs

[rigid pagoda]

can smn pls sell me a spark plug

[cosmic blaze]

No don’t sell them. You will need them later and can be hard to come by for a new player. Go scav a few times to make some cash.

is there any notification you get when shooting a flare that its save to go towards extract? shot to flares now after trying to do a quest and got shot by ai after trying to go to extract. am i just too fucking stupid to use the flares?

[humble otter]

No

Only way you know is if you get shot which means you shot it wrong or you ran too far on the right or left of the area

Or you didn’t shoot it in the flare signal area

[thorny whale]

i tried doing it on customs and always run at the ditch between the tracs and the wall could it be bc of that?

[humble otter]

Yes

That’s out of bounds

[thorny whale]

oh my god

[humble otter]

You’re forced to run along the railway at the top

[still dove]

Hey! would anyone like to help me with some quests? I´m kinda hard stuck rn... I´m lvl 10 with 1.04 K/D as PMC... If you´d like to play, DM me pls

[humble otter]

^

[still dove]

thx... DM´d him

and it didn´t reach him... @mossy steppe check your friend requests

[dusty cypress]

Yeah that area is broken into 3 separate sniper zones.

The ditches on both sides are out of the safe zone

[abstract owl]

For the Arena Mission Kill people under Morphine injector effect thingy, how do you inject yourself with it, Mine despawns every time and i can't use it

Oh my bad its adrenaline okay got it

[open grove]

The 'despawn' is the injector actually activating on round start for you, so it injects into you automatically. You can right click on it in your class creation to switch what game modes it auto injects on

[abstract owl]

Thanks a lot homie, I figured that out, is it the yellow icon ?

[open grove]

Yes that’s the one 🙂

[vague orchid]

I have 3 raid bags, mmmm yessssss. I have so much loot capaicty

[ebon oyster]

can you guys rate my stats

[quasi hatch]

Pve or pvp

[ebon oyster]

pvp

im to broke to buy pve

i got this game from a friend and i like it i just suck at pvp like fighting pmcs

[quasi hatch]

Switch to pmc tab bc overall counts the scav stats

[ebon oyster]

k

prepare to see bad stats fr

[copper orchid]

We all had stats like that once bro

[ebon oyster]

i wish i could pvp better fr

[quasi hatch]

I mean you aren't that far being positive, plus it isn't CoD or BF so yk. Matters more if you know how to play the game rather than stacking kills on factory imo.

[copper orchid]

Takes time to learn the game dont stress

[ebon oyster]

and here is my kill sheet

[ebon oyster]

tbh i havent played cod since black ops 4 dropped

its actaully my first time getting back into multi player games

and online games

[thorny whale]

i die to pmcs all the time as well its just a matter of understanding the game and having suboptimal weapons imo

[ebon oyster]

its only been 1 year of playing online games like arena breakout redsec and bf 2042

[quasi hatch]

Good, bc I tried bo6 and it was stupid with the aggressive sbmm and all that, I slime ppl in BF6 though no problem, I'm just bad at pvp in tark, plus the whole PVP scene across all games has me... Less willing to engage with it over the years. Am only 22y old but I kinda like playing WITH people and having a good time instead of sweating my ass off and getting mad yk?

[ebon oyster]

i havent played multi player or online games since ps3 and xbox 360

[summer lynx]

you have 71 hours, its not bad

[quasi hatch]

DAMN ™️

[summer lynx]

enjoy the game

[ebon oyster]

thanks mila

[summer lynx]

just enjoy the game, ignore the stats

[quasi hatch]

Yeah

Honestly when you get pve it's so much more enjoyable

[ebon oyster]

ive been trying to do the saving the mole quest i keep getting ratted fr

[torn rapids]

where are the players ratting you

[quasi hatch]

Last time I played, it was years ago when I was still a kid, and died to a hacker who shouldn't have known where I was, along with my teammate, and dude swings around the corner and pre fired my head through tagilla mask while I was prone on floor in pitch black darkness. Dude had no nods, nor a flashlight, and this happened on interchange.

[ebon oyster]

sitting in the room next to the saving the mole quest or behind or laying down behind the desk

[torn rapids]

okay so

[ebon oyster]

or if i dont get there in time in the room

[torn rapids]

next raid, bring some nades

and chuck it at those spots

[ebon oyster]

when if its opened or i can open it i dont go in i just exfill

[torn rapids]

if its not open and the key is gone

you can still get into the room

[ebon oyster]

yeah thru the glass

[torn rapids]

[copper orchid]

[ebon oyster]

i dont got many keys fr

the west wing key was a mythical pull of that scav i killed

[junior raft]

so dumb

[ebon oyster]

have to be higher royalty lvl

[junior raft]

i am tho...

[ebon oyster]

i cant really help fr i dont know much abt the higher tiers

holy ammo

[placid tree]

I think you're in need of an ammo case

[junior raft]

real

[placid tree]

maybe 2

[junior raft]

been tryna quest to get level 35

no time for managment

[ebon oyster]

and i thought my 3 backpacks of ammo was alot

[placid tree]

this is all I got lmao

[ebon oyster]

thats alot fr

[junior raft]

prolly gotta play a raid nd see if the game thinks im still lvl 29

[boreal comet]

Bruh i thought that this is some special green mag😭😭😭but its your homies pfp

[junior raft]

🤣🤣

[thorny whale]

is there no gear based matchmaking in tarkov? i run around with an aks and a shitty 1x scope and die to a gigachad with x20 variable zoom suppressor and some other shit on his weapon

[boreal comet]

You can get in match with some dude that got 17k hrs

[ebon oyster]

yeah mil there is none like arena breakout

[placid tree]

literally

[placid tree]

the only map that has any different type of matchmaking is ground zero

[boreal comet]

really?

[ebon oyster]

i queued with a prestige 6 lvl 54 before 9k hours

[placid tree]

yeah it's rough out there

[thorny whale]

damn no wonder i have no survival chanve against pmcs hahah

[ebon oyster]

the guy had bad kd tho it was 3.6

so i cant really say he's cheating

how do i locate this without dying to goon squad

[placid tree]

run along this road

[ebon oyster]

well i only played 1 round of shoreline and i got ganged up on by a guy with a mcx and goon squad came and wiped me clean out of shoreline

[open grove]

Approach from north, avoid getting close to base or you get insta killed. Interact with the intercom at the base of the green tower marked by the red dot

Then leave, if you go within the green dotted area you get auto killed by a turret

[placid tree]

yes what he said ^

[ebon oyster]

so can you show me the full map instead of just that part cause i dont know a single damn thing abt the map fr and if you can ill take a link to the 3d map

[open grove]

SE corner

[ebon oyster]

man where has this been fr ive been using map genie and a dream of find something that looks like a landmark

[open grove]

Type 'Reemr maps' into google and look at them there 🙂 Hes done almost every map to that level

[ebon oyster]

this is where i got ganged up at im pretty sure

[open grove]

Thats a screengrab so its low quality ,the actual ones are HD

[open grove]

The goons spawn just north of your circle there, thatll be why!

At the weather station on the hill, however once they see you they will run all the way down the hill despite spawning on top of it

[ebon oyster]

yeah i got pushed that way by a guy with an mcx he blacked my leg

i died to big pipe

[open grove]

Yeah they are the hardest bosses, its basically GG's unless you are geared to fight them and you spot them first

[ebon oyster]

lost my only svd i bought

i had class 4 chestplate and class 3 helmet the ssh helmet to be exact cause of the cold

[open grove]

If you insured itll come back, as its unlikely a player will find your body

[ebon oyster]

i didnt insure it cause i heard from a friend the map was open and you could see most of the exfills

[quasi hatch]

This mf is a whole ass trader himself with that ammo

[ebon oyster]

i really want to use my west wing 301 key cause i heard theres good ledx and med spawns plus good tech spawns

[vivid jetty]

How do i freelook

[thorny whale]

middle mouse button

[vivid jetty]

thanks

[thorny whale]

are there any containers othet thatn scav junk box i can get to make better use of my stash space? im on the cheapest version of tarkov and struggle with space all the time

[humble otter]

If you get lavatory lvl 2 you can craft mag cases

In hideout

There’s a barter for med case too. At therapist. I don’t remember what lvl at the top of my head

[thorny whale]

thanks

can i upgrade my save pocket as well without buying a dlc? 4 spaces is pretty small

[open grove]

yes look at the wiki for the beta case, epsilon case, theta case, gamma case

For new starters the beta and theta are easiest

Beta is easiest, epsilon is pretty hard for new players, theta isnt actually too hard but requires arena (unless you do it all using the free trial you get during the questline)

[ebon oyster]

you can get kappa to im pretty sure

[crimson thicket]

Insure your kits

[ebon oyster]

ive only gotten 1 kit back fr ever

[crimson thicket]

It's not only worth it for getting kits back if you die. If you kill someone you can toss yours and wear their shit.

[ebon oyster]

jaydee wich one did you download ?

[open grove]

yes but its fully endgame, the others are more achievable for newer playes namely Beta and Theta

[crimson thicket]

If you die to bosses like you just did, depending on where you are and time in raid no one might find your body

[open grove]

Left most

[thorny whale]

Is it worth it to open the wall?

[ebon oyster]

yeah im pretty sure

[thorny whale]

are the effects forever?

[ebon oyster]

you get gym or something else

idk fr maybe

[thorny whale]

fuck it haha

[ebon oyster]

yeah just get it

[open grove]

You get Gym access (for levelling endurance and strength), gear rack (allows extra storage space), hall of fame (allows ability to collect dogtags which give passive xp gains)

[fiery moat]

tier 6 armor from ground zero dead scav body????

[ebon oyster]

w scav loot

[thorny whale]

oh thats pretty good

i mopped trhe floor but now i says that i need to do it again is that normal?

[ebon oyster]

is the mlxr decent or good i dont have ammo and i cant buy off flea cause im lvl 10

[thorny whale]

i thought i just had to use sledge hammer

[fiery moat]

worse than you'd expect. mid rifle tbh. should be used more as a dmr than a bolt action

[open grove]

Yeah once you start mopping it a few times itll then say you can use a sledgehammer to break it, then you gotta build the door

6 steps in total

[fiery moat]

i survived being hit 7 times with .308 ME(the better ammo) after dying to the 8th

with tier 4 armor

[ebon oyster]

i only got it cause it looks like my 30-30 irl and lever action

[fiery moat]

not that bad of a rifle but not super op like some people glazed it back when it first came out

aim for non-armored areas if ur using ME LOKT cuz that has little pen

[open grove]

The MXLR is classed as a bolt action so it is god tier for all bolt kill missions

[fiery moat]

yea especially the jaeger quest where u unlock AP-M ammo

[open grove]

The ability to fire so fast is huge, but outside of bolt kill missions, its average, nice bullets though!

[ebon oyster]

i dont got many guns fr and some i cant use

[fiery moat]

guys frostbite doesnt kill by itself right

[ebon oyster]

what you mean im wearing a ssh

[spring sand]

does the ssh stop frostbite?

[ebon oyster]

yes

[spring sand]

DUDE!

i have been wearing that one shitty headgear from ragman for a knife and no earbuds im pissed

[ebon oyster]

i swear im only wearing it until this damn christmas season is done for

[spring sand]

better than the ushanka

[ebon oyster]

it taunts me fr cause theyve been giving me class 4 helmets

[fiery moat]

im talking about myself dude

im scaving rn and being camped

ik what stops frostbite and what doesnt

[spring sand]

im pretty sure it does kill yes

[ebon oyster]

like please stop giving me class 4 helmets

[fiery moat]

if you want an alternative to the ssh68 helmet, the UXPRO beanie costs 2k and also protects you, while you can just wear any headset with it

[spring sand]

none of the traders sell the beanie and im not lvl15

the struggles of being low level

[untold cedar]

Hey i was just asking if anyone wanted to play with me im quite new and need help with the quest provide viewership my username is freakstertheman and im level 11 you can text me private if you want to help

[ebon oyster]

poor in body armor

[fiery moat]

ragman level 2 does but i think you need level 17 to unlock him?

[fiery moat]

a problem that could be fixed by twitch drops

got like 12 ospreys from the drops

7 left

[ebon oyster]

yeah guess how i got my 2 docs bag

[fiery moat]

by looting dorms back to back?

[ebon oyster]

no from twitch drops

[fiery moat]

ik u can get by epic drop

[ebon oyster]

and injector bag to

and stims for the injector bag

:}

[fiery moat]

yea epic drops have a high chance to give out cases. got ammo,pistol, 2x injector and docs case from epics

are u lvl15

[ebon oyster]

no

lvl 10

[grizzled glade]

lfg duo to help me levelup to 12 im lvl 9 now

[fiery moat]

save your money like i did until you unlock flea. then it'll be easy to access good body armors. i suggest you look for lvl4 armored rigs, around 50-60k with plates intact which means tier 4 armor+rig for only 60k

[ebon oyster]

if i could id help you but i cant your eu and my ping there is bad

[spring sand]

You got alot of money let me hold some of it for ya

[ebon oyster]

im broke rn i helped and did some runs with friends

mostl cause i dont have piles of body armor

went from 1.2m to 400k

flexing the yellow black and blank rfi and ultra me

[spring sand]

How long do I have for twitch drops i want a docs case as well

[ebon oyster]

i watch for all of them wich is 10 hours

well 9 hours but its 10 for me cause i have a timer but i aint doing the twitch drops right now my phone is begging for a break

[fiery moat]

why would i flex them, i just failed to crop it out. i could flex the shitload of ledx, tagilla and killa helmets. anyways im not sure about ways to get usable body armor before lvl15, but have you done that one prapor quest where u unlock kora-kulon body armor which is lvl3?

[ebon oyster]

no im just saying that you have them

[fiery moat]

guess where i got all of them from

random scavs

[ebon oyster]

idk dorms

random scavs fr

dang the luck

yo show me the tegilla and ledx bag fr

[fiery moat]

i kill a scav,check pockets, find them. i found the black and yellow keycards on my 3rd raid which was the 2nd day of the 1.0 launch

[fiery moat]

i already quit the game :( but i dont have an entire bag of ledxs ofc. mostly the tagillas helmet and armor which is rather easy to obtain, especially sometimes ppl just kill him and dont even take his stuff. about killa helmets, i kept getting them from twitch drops i think, the 1.0 launch drops

[ebon oyster]

not bad i joined 2 weeks after wipe so everyone was already stacked

[prisma karma]

arena player just starting tarkov this wipe NA servers if anyone wanna help

[fiery moat]

shitload of ppl are still new, below level 10, dont worry. there will still be ppl below lvl10 even 3 months later. game doesnt even wipe anymore but new ppl will keep joining

[ebon oyster]

im trying to get to lvl 15 even tho you cant buy much from flea market

[fiery moat]

most ppl run with kits around 120-130k as far as i've seen. 130k is like tier 4 helmet,armor and a decent backpack. say 70-80k for the gun most of the time, sometimes they run even cheaper

[ebon oyster]

i run 50k kits or free scav stuff i looted

[fiery moat]

im 22 rn and i relaxed alot on lvl20. i still need lvl25 for most stuff tho. but on lvl15 u will unlock shotguns,pistols and armor

[fiery moat]

do u insure ur stuff? its gonna help you alot if ur going cheap since no one is gonna take your cheap gun when you die so u can just use it again and again

[ebon oyster]

oh you think i take guns when im just doing runs

[fiery moat]

you'll get scav cursed otherwise

[ebon oyster]

i either get lucky and find a gun or i dont and have to melee a scav

[fiery moat]

my dude, are u eu

[ebon oyster]

michgan

american north

just say candian fr at this point

[fiery moat]

if u can play eu servers i can help you to get out of that poverty. im eastern europe but have no problems playing all the way until eu west

not rn tho its 12am for me i have uni final exams tomorrow, i'd say around 14 hours later i'll be back

[ebon oyster]

cause i mostly pop into Canadian servers but i play na north or whatever you call it

[fiery moat]

.

[ebon oyster]

i mostly play with the Canadians cause there friendly and hella funny when i play with them

[fiery moat]

i think ur saying that we cannot play then. anyways lemme give u some tips that might help

pick a cheap gun good for killing scavs, wait until its really late where most pmcs have left and its swarmed with scavs. and kill scavs and take their stuff, hope for the best u can have. fill that bag. then extract. safest way

[ebon oyster]

yeah me going on eu servers dont work fr

150 plus ping

[fiery moat]

i get 230 on NAE

350 on NA west

[ebon oyster]

yeah same with my friend jack

hes eu to

i think german

[fiery moat]

also

do you run with empty container and which one u have alpha beta gamma

probably not beta since u wont have enough to barter for it

[ebon oyster]

woah woah woah how rich you think i have buddy im a alpha container warrior

im basically f2p

i didnt buy the game

it was a gift

[fiery moat]

same, i also have standard edition. anyways fill that alpha with the most valuable stuff u can fit. suppressors,scopes, IFAK,AFAK(meds), mostly the items with purple background, ratchet, pipe grip wrench,bulbex etc.

a ratchet and a pipe grip wrench, u'll basically have 160k even after u died

[ebon oyster]

i have my doc bag and injector bag

[fiery moat]

why the fk would u keep those items if ur that low on money. get some loot inside that bag dude

are u gonna spend those expensive stims when ur kit is worth less than a single stim

[ebon oyster]

well you see ive been doing the same interchage runs for 77 hours of my total playtime

[spring sand]

thoughts on what i got in mine

[ebon oyster]

remove that esmarch

ratcola

[fiery moat]

uhh, what is the WZ wallet for? what is the esmarch and calok for? and the ratcola? ifak?

[ebon oyster]

wz wallet is better ver of reg wallet

[fiery moat]

afak, gingy(assuming u got keys inside) and propitals enough.

[spring sand]

wz for moneys and the cola cause i dont wanna get thirsty

[spring sand]

empty the gingy is for if i find keys

[ebon oyster]

blud buy some water

this gamma pouch is going to waste

[fiery moat]

i'd just keep the AFAK then. all 8 other slots are basically going to waste. maybe not the propital

[ebon oyster]

we gotta get bro a docs bag and a injector bag

[spring sand]

i been dreaming of a docs case

[fiery moat]

dudes dual-wielding fkin medkits omg

[spring sand]

didnt know twitch gave em im watching now

[ebon oyster]

its random

per person

[spring sand]

i get scared if i dont have heals i get shot alot

[fiery moat]

you get a chance to get containers on epic drops. docs, ammo, medical, pistol, etc.

[ebon oyster]

i keep getting moonshine and docs bag for my epic 1 crate

[fiery moat]

a single afak will always be enough. dont waste it on heavy bleed and use esmarch instead, and heal light bleeds or hp with it

[spring sand]

any case to put stuff like screws in i have alot of random crap in my stash

[ebon oyster]

same for epic crate 2

[modern bison]

Someone wanna play? Im really new so level 4, i know the basics but im kinda lost lol

[fiery moat]

scav junk box is for that. every single junk item. computer stuff, figurines, construction materials etc.

[spring sand]

so i get rid of ifak and esmarch and keep only afak and calok B

[hidden seal]

last few hours running

[fiery moat]

put the esmarch into your normal pocket. get rid of everything except afak

[ebon oyster]

idk if i should keep the docs and injector bags or should i sell them

when i get my twitch drops

[spring sand]

i can buy a junk box idk if i should though

[fiery moat]

sell injectors if you need some money but not the docs case.

[spring sand]

from therapist

[ebon oyster]

k

i have a scav junk box i need a 2nd fr

[fiery moat]

most ppl keep at least 2, some keep 4 or more. so you can actually store stuff you'll need for hideout or future quests.

[spring sand]

should i sell ledx? i hear its for a quest i have 2 found in raid but if i sell em i can buy 1 case

[spring sand]

thats beutifull can i pay you to clean my stash lol

[ebon oyster]

just use the auto sort fr

[spring sand]

the auto sort puts everything at the top of my inventory i like to drag everything to the bottom

[fiery moat]

1 required found in raid for late game therapist quest. 1 required for medstation level 3 upgrade(doesnt have to be found in raid)

[grand linden]

am i tweeking or its actually an protective mask
