[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&

[lyric bone]

If i put the skier building materials in my container and die do they lose their found in raid check?

[open grove]

Yes they do

[lyric bone]

Ffs 😭 😭

[open grove]

Found in raid items must be extracted to keep found in raid status

[lyric bone]

I died to friggin santa claus when i had 4 of them

[open grove]

😢

[lyric bone]

I was confused about how a scav tanked 5 buckshot to the head

[mild venture]

why does God dont give me good team always T_T

[mild venture]

desync? i guess..... well im happy finished GH#4 omg that took me 3mill

[lyric bone]

It was santa claus

[tropic pulsar]

Still offering help? I would love some on getting any task done you are willing to help me on.

[wary delta]

yes

[tropic pulsar]

Ill DM you

[dusk oxide]

should i do collegues part 3 or huntmans path sadist if i want kappa or does it not matter?

[meager shell]

What items protect against frostbite?

[grizzled glade]

if ur new the ssh-68 helmet from ragman is a good idea

or an ushanka

[wary wasp]

how long does it take to generate 1 bitcin with 1 gpu in the bitcoinfarm?

[weary sky]

a while

[tropic pulsar]

Anyone willing to help a noob out in PVE with some early game tasks/quests? Would appreciate any help 🙂

[uncut iris]

It's entirely your choice, Completing either is fine and won't halt/change progression for Kappa. If you care so much for the Black Card I guess Colleagues part 3 but you can honestly just buy a card If you want it bad enough - Stims are nice for samples If you don't have them already though. So personal choice I guess.

[lyric bone]

How do i unlock mechanic

[magic perch]

i think its just getting to a certain location via tour

[bitter verge]

it is

[uncut iris]

Approx. 83 hours with just 1 GPU.

[halcyon yacht]

can someone help me on lighthouse I need some things at water treatmant

[round aspen]

anyone else been unable to turn in To Great Heights Pt 5? completed on Arena but can't turn in on Base, won and lost multiple games since.

[indigo isle]

mine on pve is bugged like that cuz i never reset my acc im guessing, but my pvp went thru fine

[strange iron]

anybody know the locations of the topographic intel documents that you need for the debtor ending? Cant seem too find anything online

[stable rose]

Is labs worth running? I keep dying to cheaters, not sure if im just unlucky. Im talking 9/10 raids so far 10+ kd with 200hrs on a standard acc, 200 raids played somehow level 47 intant head eyes after 3 pixels of me come round a corner

[forest quartz]

Is this the multiple wins in a row?

[round aspen]

yeah just 2 wins in a row

[forest quartz]

Im pretty sure you need to open tarkov inbetween each win to register it

[open grove]

Other people have been having this issue, it’s an Arena to Tarkov synchronisation issue, unsure how others got around it but not just you

[mild venture]

what level can i buy keys in flea?

[open grove]

15 but I think different keys are level locked at different levels. But since 15 I’ve been able to buy the ones needed for quests etc

[open grove]

Are you a new player? Labs is sorta only viable for very experienced players due to the amount of cheaters and high level insane players on there. The loot is good but you’ll likely lose more money than you can make until you get really good at PVP. You can always rat about though

[stable rose]

I'm lvl 44, got all keycards, go in with lvl 6 plates every time. Doesnt matter though alwyas head eyes. I try my hardestnot to call hacks but so many deaths have been so sus

[open grove]

A cheater did an interview and said on average there is 1 hacker in every labs raid

[alpine umbra]

hi, ik this aint the group but i was recomended into here, im new to the game and i dont know much bout it, im trying to get a duo that could help me out in the game

[open grove]

That was ages ago, but it gives you an idea of how many there are, hackers tend to avoid PVP to avoid being reported so only tend to kill yiu if you are near a high value item or in their way. The few that rage hack and kill everything don’t last long till the get banned

[gray reef]

is someone down to help me extract from customs bro?? its full of fucking rats and snipers and u have to cross the whole fucking map, its for a quest, eu btw

[shrewd sapphire]

what does the end of the new last arena quests give you

[alpine umbra]

hi, ik this aint the group but i was recomended into here, im new to the game and i dont know much bout it, im trying to get a duo that could help me out in the game, NA btw but can play EU too

[stable rose]

It's so sad because I love the map. I do find that when I fight normal players it's okay, usually mega chads but still fair. ie. I get a few shots on, they shoot me a few times, maybe rotate a bit. throw a few nades etc. However most raids It's being rushed off spawn and instant head-jaws. for example got trapped in yellow but managed to push out with nade, he went down stairs, i was holding the angle. He couldnt have known where i was, sprinted up the stairs, as his face loaded on ym screen me already pre aiming he managed to 1 tap me in 0.1ms. His stats, almost not acheivments, lvl 48. 240hrs, 16kd 69% survival rate

[alpine umbra]

hi, ik this aint the group but i was recomended into here, im new to the game and i dont know much bout it, im trying to get a duo that could help me out in the game

[weary sky]

you EU?

[alpine umbra]

i can do that

[stuck crest]

anyone mind running me to jegars note

[dusk oxide]

ill do collugese since am already done with sampels

[open grove]

New fancy camo, looks decent. Main benefit from the questline is the money and battlepass XP you make along the way, also the Ref rep

[open grove]

Green flare extract is a solid way to get out safely. Have you unlocked Jaeger yet?

[stuck crest]

I need help getting his note lol

[gray reef]

nah but i got a green flare in the stash

either way im js camping till theres 10 mins left or so

if thats not working ill try the flare

[open grove]

This is the safest route I’ve found to cross the map avoiding major sight lines, do this after the first 10 mins and it’s like 80% chance you won’t see a PMC

[gray reef]

thank you so much

[dire hawk]

how does tagged and cursed work

[robust schooner]

Where is the best place to shoot scavs at 40+ meters away? i have to do my daily

[wary timber]

any map is fine for it tbh but woods is good for long range

[bleak pasture]

how do you cancel an action such as a shotgun reload or using a bandage?

[weary sky]

spam right click

[unkempt inlet]

If you go into a raid with no Armour/rig/gun you are tagged and cursed. It's the way to stop people from coming in with nothing. Scavs will always know where you are and will hunt you down. You see it often with sussy accounts on factory trying to get deaths to make their account look normal.

[swift acorn]

what would be the best map for the last punisher

[unkempt inlet]

Depends on your playstyle, sniping can be shoreline, Lighthouse, Woods

Run and gun can be Customs, Interchange, streets

[swift acorn]

all the quests i have left for kappa other than the last punisher are sniping

[unkempt inlet]

Ground zero has good pvp spawns

[swift acorn]

ooo

ground zero actually sounds fun

good shout

[unkempt inlet]

👍

But for punisher 6 you really just want to play the map you know the best

[swift acorn]

honestly out of all the quests ive done so far this wipe i believe the test drive with the ak 12 was the most fun

i love that weapon to death

[open grove]

Massive tip for punisher 6, do not use a suppresor

[swift acorn]

NIKITAAAA ADD THE AN-94 AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[open grove]

The SVD suppressor has been proven to add huge aim overswing, regardless of all other attachments, on top of this it drops ergo massively. Go loud and proud with it

It functions as an excellent DMR with a red dot also, the bullets put people down easily at close to mid range

[swift acorn]

wdym by overswing

like recoil?

[open grove]

So when you aim, the gun pulls past the centre point, then swings back to it, it’s really annoying

On ADS, swings right then back to the left before remaining steady, basically fighting your own input

[swift acorn]

that sounds fucked

thanks for the tip didnt realize till now

[cosmic star]

can i get a hand with optimizing my graphics settings?

[open grove]

I’ll dm you 🙂

[cosmic star]

thanks

[strong lagoon]

anyone else having issues with the Batya quest? the phone and note are not spawning in woods by the grave

[lyric bone]

I dont get it, is the RTX 4090 not enough for tarkov

[hidden seal]

all scavs (and affiliated AI) know exactly where you are and want your blood at any cost

[safe grove]

games heavily cpu bound over gpu, and even then it isn't optimized well to properly utilize resources as a whole

[lyric bone]

Yeah i js got really pissed after dying to a scav while my game was stuttering every 10 seconds

[safe grove]

stuttering is more likely a memory leak or something akin to that

[lyric bone]

Ik i was checking task manager and i got no clue what is gobbling up my memory

I just reset my pc and now it wont let me log into battlestate

[safe grove]

I think servers are starting to crap out again, i just played an arena match with 180 ping and saw the weirdest shit

[icy sable]

DOESNT MATTER U NEED RAM

[lyric bone]

Ik, like i said before i dont know what is taking up all the memory

[safe grove]

you can see that too in task manager, but tarkov is also just really bad at that, sometimes ill hit it bad after a couple raids and tarkov is then using 33gb of ram

[lyric bone]

I literally told you i checked task manager 😭 🙏

[safe grove]

yeah but you can see what is eating the most memory in there. so you could know what's eating the memory. But regardless, tarky is always good for a reboot every now and then

[lyric bone]

Yeah no clue what is happening, shows up an error when i try to log in, when i had "always logged in" enabled

[icy sable]

trash

game making

unity

[tame scroll]

well im not begginer, but i need assistance with bloody rusted key, is anyone willing to open it for quest?

[icy sable]

when can i buy this?

as soon as i am lvl 15? in flee market?

i have the gun but not the mag 🙁

[hidden seal]

because unit is a disastrous memory managerment of an engine

[icy sable]

please I need this my mom is kinda homeless

Wednesday, 7 January 2026 02:16 AM
idk

[faint kayak]

The spawn rushing is absolutely ridiculous. No exaggeration I've died 16 times in a fucking row now on Shoreline trying to even get within a Kilometer of the Resort. Spawn in, wait it out nearby in hiding? Get hunted down and beamed. Doesn't matter if you 'Frank' it and hide in the attic of a house still as a mouse, get head eyes through the window by a sniper shot you never heard. Just need to plant a fucking marker. Why is Shoreline so hard?

[lyric bone]

Wtf it says my steam account is already linked to another account but when i log in via steam it sends me to the register page 😭

[vernal shoal]

ye witch extreme cold weather mask only 106 lvl arena

[icy sable]

p2w moment

[vernal shoal]

i will have it only like 15 lvl more

[faint kayak]

God forbid you get near the grounds of the resort, it's as if there's landmines all over the inside perimiter of the fence. People kill you from every angle. The literal one time I get inside, I rush inside before Im shot from a window and die to a cleverly placed tripwire. FML

[buoyant echo]

Is there a boss/guards that always spawn with an atlyn/rys helmet ?

[spice thorn]

can you get COFDM wireless transmitters from moonshine scav cases ?

[sharp plume]

landmines in the resort?

[faint kayak]

I mean its as-if. Cant get inside without being laser beamed from the windows or immediately gunned down whenver you enter

These mfs bro only keep queing me with lobbies of spawn rushing 12k+ hr players

Maybe if I buy the unheard edition Ill be put in the timmy lobbies then

[sharp plume]

true thats why i crawl all the way to an entrance 😸

[lyric bone]

My tarkov was stuttering a whole bunch, i reset my pc and now it wont let me log into my account, i had "stay logged in" on too, and when i open it thru steam it keeps giving me an error when i click "authorize"

[faint kayak]

Crawl or not grass only renders as far as your character can piss in this game so theyll see you too

[sharp plume]

they havent gotten me yet

you gotta know your crawl routes

[faint kayak]

lmao

[faint kayak]

bro said

[sharp plume]

you can also just wait till theres 10 or less minutes in a raid and then try to rush in

works pretty well on lighthouse

[reef chasm]

Hello guys. I'm playing PvE. I have too many sniper rifles from Twitch Drops and I'm thinking about keeping only two that is best for Jaeger Tasks. Which two should I keep? I’m at level 22. Reddit seems to prefer AXMC first and DVL second. But I’m not sure if DVL’s internal suppressor counts towards some of the tasks that require a silencer.

Their MoA is around 0.5~0.7. Should I keep the best MoA ones?

[lyric bone]

How the fuh do i fix this

[formal quarry]

If you have error 0 and can't open the game on steam delete the "bsglauncher" folder in "%APPDATA%\Battlestate games" and it should work then.

Windows key + R
Paste %APPDATA%\Battlestate games
Enter bsglauncher folder
Delete "settings" (no file extension)
Restart launcher. (do it while it's closed).

use #community-support next time, no one checks this channel

[vocal folio]

yo the sound system is ASS man

i cant even hear properly if someone is above me or below me with good headphones

[dusky garnet]

I got a 3 day arena trial from ref, i didnt realise that i had to use it right there and then and now it is expired, is there another way to get the arena 3 day trial activated so i can do my ref quests?

[formal quarry]

no

[gentle monolith]

Does run thru count for the guide?

Or you gotta actually wait 7 minutes? I know transits count, what about regular extract?

[cold gulch]

anybody down to play some arena I suck ass and need coaching lowk

[open grove]

Run through doesn’t count, you have to wait 7 mins

[hidden seal]

tbh is very hard to make that work properly when you have only lateral sources. Unity soudn system is also not great for that

I wish headsets (the irl) ones had accelerometers so we coudl control lean with our heads and maek sound pinpointign much easier

[vocal folio]

i mean i didnt lose much, i was rattin on gz with a sks. so no biggie, but its kinda ass

[dire blade]

does the shegma get stop frostbite?

[pliant fulcrum]

yes

[weary sky]

smegma hat

🫃

[full pendant]

whatsup with this quest on pve how many kills i need ?

[hidden seal]

all of them

not sure how that even works on PVE

[full pendant]

the diffrence in pve is that the pmc i kill done have to be wearing pompon or ushanka

[radiant elm]

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

[full pendant]

oh its for this https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/counter/kolotun

[radiant elm]

Eliminate PMC operatives in Pompon hats while wearing a Ushanka ear flap hat
Note: The objective in the PvE mode is to eliminate any PMC operatives while wearing a Ushanka ear flap hat instead.

[wary patrol]

I used to play 3 years ago and was a solid player but just now got another PC & re-learning Tarkov & would love someone to help me relearn the ropes. 😛

[plain sphinx]

when i try to play the game through the steam launcher it gives me a error telling me my internet connection is bad but its fine, what do i need to do?

[lyric bone]

Do i delete settings or bsglauncher

[kindred grotto]

Any lighhouse professionals here?

[formal quarry]

settings brother

make sure launcher is closed

[lyric bone]

Im sorry but you said to delete the bsglauncher file then you said to delete settings 😔

[devout vine]

anyone trying to hop in vc and help a fresh player?

[lyric bone]

Anyways ty

[sharp plume]

if you took off some parts like grip, sight or stock they would take like half the space

[lyric bone]

What do yall think is the best way to exfil once in customs

[crimson thicket]

Literally depends where you are and what your extract is

[lyric bone]

I've gotten spawns near big red like 5 times already

[wary timber]

Take flare extract

[lyric bone]

I dont have flares

[crimson thicket]

The "best" way is always car extract

But it's not always up

[wary timber]

nah, car is next to dorms just a death trap

[crimson thicket]

Only if you SUCK.

Jk. But I've also never died at car

[wary timber]

can buy off jaeger

[lyric bone]

I dont have jaeger

[crimson thicket]

Brother if you don't have flares and you're spawning big red you have 1 option to extract

[wary timber]

oop, then pray for old gas station to be open or avoid all pvp areas and run all the way to zb

[crimson thicket]

Yeah like you have 1 guaranteed extract

Old gas might not be open. Car might not be there. Might not find smugglers note

[lyric bone]

I once spawned in big red, managed to make it to the old gas and it wasnt open

[hidden seal]

not so rare

[lyric bone]

Ik but it was sad

[hidden seal]

taht note I NEVER found

[lyric bone]

SInce i died to lag afterwards

[hidden seal]

I wish that note was more common

such a nicely placed exfil that I coudl never use

[crimson thicket]

It's silly that they made smugglers boat require the note

I think it was fine just being randomly open. Zb12 being note extract was fine

[twin kernel]

I keep getting this

[lyric bone]

Do windows + r, type %appdata%, go to battlestate games, go to bslauncher or whatever it is, and delete settings, all while the launcher is closed

[twin kernel]

Solved it thanks

[lyric bone]

I had this earlier and someone helped me with it

Chain of events lol

[timber pasture]

where can I find Ragman and Therapist for the first mission?

[hushed niche]

On traders, go to the trader menu i.e. therapist and click visit at the top

[timber pasture]

tysm

and another question, do the missions include scav or only pmc?

[open grove]

All quests other than Fence operational are for PMC only 🙂

Fence is unique, his rep is actually your scav reputation, and he gives you scav quests as daily tasks

But some quests like, find 3 salewas in raid, you can find them on your scav and transfer them to your PMC stash, then hand them in.

[drowsy scroll]

am i cooked

been waiting trying to reconnect

[foggy sparrow]

Most probably, but were you PMC or Scav? Better odds if PMC unless the raid was less than 10 min when disconnected

Sometimes I end up killing the process 2-3 times for it to finally load

[drowsy scroll]

it was at 00.00.000 deployed, i waited to deplay, restarted, waiting 10 min and now im waiting again

no server response i think the servers cooked

[foggy sparrow]

[jolly hill]

What frames you getting, whats your GPU and CPU?

[opaque mural]

60. 7600x 4060ti

[lyric bone]

I just got my brains blown out so doesnt matter anymore

[open grove]

what map

[opaque mural]

interchange

[maiden marlin]

tragic

[open grove]

Sorry was in a raid ill check some things one sec

[lyric bone]

Right after i killed a PMC too 😔

[maiden marlin]

prob his buddy

[lyric bone]

Nah random guy i saw in the distance and hit a couple times

[opaque mural]

fixed i guess

getting 100-120

in that map

[open grove]

What did you change?

[opaque mural]

Screen mode

to borderless

[open grove]

Good to know

[opaque mural]

What is the avg fps in that map

tho?

[open grove]

Wildly different for every setup, but 80fps is good

Tarkov gets way less frames compared to other games

[opaque mural]

btw 1 more question how to lvl up faster?

[tidal lagoon]

tasks

its ur main way of levelling up

[opaque mural]

how find them

[tidal lagoon]

look on wiki

[midnight ingot]

completing tasks and leveling up will give you more tasks

some are level locked, some are locked behind other tasks

[tidal lagoon]

assuming u mean the task items themselves and not how to find where the tasks are in the menu

[open grove]

Complete existing tasks to unlock further tasks, some are level locked (you also get XP from doing anything, hitting enemies, healing, looting etc). Youll soon get a handful that each branch into loads more

[opaque mural]

i meant where to find task in menu

[tidal lagoon]

go to traders then look at the top it should say tasks, thats where u find ur side tasks, and then the visit button is how u find ur main story tasks, which wont give any xp or money really

[tidal lagoon]

yes your first tasks will be story tasks

you need to progress through the main story to unlock more traders and some of their side tasks

so ure gonna wanna visit both ragman and therapist

[harsh rune]

can someone teach me the way

[ivory trench]

lost of fun

[opaque mural]

How get money

[open grove]

Sell stuff to traders, therapist buys most misc items for highest value. Mechanic buys weapons/attachments/bullets for highest

Scav run, grab loads, sell some of it, keep some. As you play more you’ll understand what you should keep and what you should sell

[vague orchid]

Great streets takes fucking forever to load even on pve

[open grove]

Everything has a use, but an item that you need in 20 days worth of playing time will be worth selling now, you can find it again closer to when you need it

[vague orchid]

8 mintue que so far trying to load into streets is it always this bad? And I'm not even past matchmaking

Oh great servers are dowj

[lyric bone]

You dont level up from scav raids right?

[frank junco]

your scav has his own main and skill levels that dont effect your pmc

like you can lvl endurance on your scav but it wont help your pmc

[ivory trench]

can anyone tell where i am on interchange?

[frank junco]

dont know the callout but thats the building that turns power on

[ivory trench]

how far is it from railway exfil

[frank junco]

far as possible

gotta run to the front of the mall

[open grove]

Power station north east

Railway exfil is behind you from that photo, the mall should be on your left as you head towards it

It’s a 3/4 minute run

anyone down to help me finish Sew it good part 1

[pseudo jacinth]

anybody got some tips for finishing balancing part 2 no matter what i cant seem to get kills

[cursive prawn]

go to factory and just spray some lacky down with the PPSH

[stark turtle]

damn that's a nice looking map.

[cyan apex]

ammo is king

[lofty rose]

what's the meta AK-12 build for test drive 3?

[keen sentinel]

What can you buy with lega medals

[pliant fulcrum]

ref stuff, containers,gear good stuff

[keen fossil]

Ref has barters for different guns keys and cases

[keen sentinel]

is it at higher ref lvls?. i only see stuff for gp coins

[keen fossil]

Probably

[fallen swallow]

With twitch drops going on atm for arena, you can get so many cases

If you have high enough ref rep ofcourse

[pliant fulcrum]

aye, t4 ref can get thicc cases and high tier weaps

think earliest thing with lega is the sword iirc

sword is best melee I think

[tulip torrent]

can someone tell me the quickest way to get myself some found in raid car batteries? i literally never find them, ever. I have been scavving in interchange a lot to try and get em but they are never there either. Does anybody have any advice?I think in my 200 pmc raids this wipe i only ever found them twice

[fallen swallow]

if you have a tank battery you can break it down into car batteries in the hideout, otherwise probably tunnels on GZ with all the technical boxes, but its always random

[abstract notch]

The tank battery route is the easiest, but that also requires getting a tank battery.

[tulip torrent]

yeah, i only ever found one tank battery this wipe, and it was when i was at sniper hill on woods, so i dropped it 😭

[reef chasm]

Is it better to buy repair kits and fix guns and armors myself? Or should I let trader handle it? I think in PvE right now, weapon kit is ~450k and armor kit is ~1.8M

Which one saves money in the long run?

[stark turtle]

not sure if that's the quickest way per se but i'd hit the shelves likely to have them. like auchan on Interchange or new gas on Customs.

[abstract notch]

If you're worrying about money in PvE, you're playing wrong

Because of the ease of getting items and some weird items being a really high value on the flea, it's very easy to go into a raid on any map and come out of it with no elss than 2-3m roubles in value

[oak bane]

hello i need help with quests in woods anyone want to help play with me?

[viscid marten]

Some random guy just added me ik I didnt kill him or anything just wandering how he found me or if its a bot

[grave kayak]

Can i only get the PKP by killing Kaban or is it possible to get one from a PMC who is trading with me?
Running 25fps on streets, almost impossible.

[dreamy ruin]

anyone got an arena poster i could have? sold the ones i need for Easy Money - Part 1 due to no stash space....

[vague orchid]

so how am I supsosed to get this done when i barely see any PMCs?
In the PvE mode you will need to eliminate 5 PMCs in a single raid on both Interchange and Shoreline. Once you have completed both of these objectives you may continue to kill Scavs.

I'm planning ahead but like, do I just use the transits?

[gritty spruce]

Don't play pve

[vague orchid]

so basically I'm locked out of the main storyline cause the quest is too hard to achive cause AI PMCs are dogshit

[unique mantle]

transits count as single raid so yes

[keen sentinel]

will this say "found in raid"

after done crafting

[unique mantle]

every craft is FIR

[keen sentinel]

betttt

[tepid arrow]

Bro turn ur generator on

[keen sentinel]

i did after'

i was abt to get off thats why it was off

[tepid arrow]

Fair

[boreal moon]

what map is good to do runs for pilers elite and nails?

[fallen swallow]

easiest is probably scav on ground zero, and looting the technical crates and tool boxes in the tunnels

[open grove]

Customs also very good 👍

[grave kayak]

What does it mean? Its from the car extract drop down menu

[keen sentinel]

Decent scav?

[keen sentinel]

does the ram actually sell on the flea or should i just sell it to a trader?

I unlock selling on flea in 2 lvls so itll be a bit b4 i can sell it

[frank junco]

its worth it to keep for flea

[faint kayak]

Any big dchad 5 mans play arena for tgh4

[undone drum]

like 80-90k

[undone drum]

seems like an unfinished mechanic

[grave kayak]

so the rep number on the screenshot is nothing? i thought maybe it was the amount of rep u would gain, but that would be too much i think

[keen sentinel]

i can sell it to therapist for like 80k but lowest on flea is like 190

so do i just level up 2 more times and sell it there?

[undone drum]

its the number behind train extract right?

i think it really means nothing

[undone drum]

yeah, hold on to it, it doesn´t take much space

[grave kayak]

No its on every car extract when i run across it, then it turns green ofc but the numbers appears

[keen sentinel]

betbet

[tame belfry]

Why cant i buy the tactical map? I just get an error

[undone drum]

ah, yeah, the numbers dont make sense

your right

[grave kayak]

@undone drum Okay thanks :)

[dreamy ruin]

can someone explain to me how it works with plates and built in armor - does the built in armor matter at all when there's a fresh plate? trooper armor for example

[keen sentinel]

should i do the same with moonshine? lowest on flea is like 420k

[undone drum]

it does
bullet frist hits plate, then soft armor underneath

[undone drum]

yep

[dreamy ruin]

thanks bud

[keen sentinel]

is this where i make a sell on flea?

[silent sage]

yes

[keen sentinel]

i think i can sell the stuff now, i thought i needed lvl 25

betttt

[silent sage]

It depends on the item. Some items need higher levels

[keen sentinel]

ayyyyy sold all my ram and moonshine instantly

[finite thicket]

getting back into the game after a long while, did they remove the ability to make free look continuous in controls?

[keen sentinel]

im lvl 23 and i got 4 intel folders. should i sell them? i dont think i need them soon. I can get them really easily because im playing PVE and i could make some nice money selling them rn

i can easily get them in PVE rn

[fallen swallow]

you need them for intel station 2 in the hideout, or wel 3 of them atleast,

and probably more but you'd need to look it up

[keen sentinel]

i dont think my hideout will be close to that

i dont even got intel station

[keen fossil]

just keep them

Money is easy enough to get

upgrading hideout is super important

[keen sentinel]

do i get the intel station after i bust down the wall?

[keen fossil]

You can get it before

[keen sentinel]

where?

[keen fossil]

if you scroll through the things you can build in hideout is should tell you the requirements

[keen sentinel]

i didnt even know i could do this....

[keen fossil]

lol

[keen sentinel]

im guesing the intel center is the next thing i should build

[keen fossil]

Intel center is pretty good since it gives you more exp

[keen sentinel]

alr im building it now LOL

im so dumb

[finite thicket]

anyone able to help me with this?

[keen sentinel]

does continous mean like it only works while u hold it? right

[finite thicket]

yeah

[keen sentinel]

i think its auto on continous

bc thats how it works for me

[finite thicket]

its not working like that for me

idk why

[keen fossil]

Yeah I gotta hold it

it works for me

[keen sentinel]

i just realised half the things i was missing for my hideout upgrades i could buy on flea and it didnt need to be found in raids

gg

[elfin jewel]

i put a dogtag with this design in my pouch but it disappeared after the raid. i was killed in action for stepping out of bounds. why did it disappear?

[unique mantle]

my bet is you were in a training mission (also called offline mode)

did you had the gear you went into raid after it ?

[elfin jewel]

apparently it's a known bug for this kind of dogtag to just disappear

no it isnt a training because i killed a pmc

and i got rest of the items i put in pouch. only the dogtag disappeared

[unique mantle]

strange

[finite thicket]

I tried restarting and even forcing it to continuous in the files but it just resets it

chungus ass game

[dreamy ruin]

anyone who can buy me a arena poster so i can get Ref unlocked? sold all of the ones i received with quest because im an idiot

[wary timber]

Can buy em on flea and off skier

[wary timber]

About 82k or something like that

[dreamy ruin]

oh shit skier has them im stupid, thanks mate

[timid granite]

What is happening here, why cant I upgrade my hideout, i have all ther equierments...

[open grove]

Close and re open game? Only way I’ve been able to fix these sorta weird issues

[fallen swallow]

also double check trader rep

in the trader screen

[light pagoda]

complete one task from that trader

[ebon loom]

yo guys i need help cansomeone come to chitchat 3 andhelpme with the game

[thorny whale]

im trying to do the bataya questline and have collected all items for it around the map, it still says that i need to dind voevodas personal belongings tho. can i only find them after having intellegence center lvl 3 or did i miss something?

[grizzled basalt]

first time playing in a year and a half and need help with start

[ebon oyster]

was this a good lock in over 4 days or nah had some help from some friends but i did half the quests on my own and got some extra kills

not sure if its 4 days fr mightve been 2

[undone drum]

ur improving thats good

[open grove]

Doubled your KD 👏 good shit

[undone drum]

tarkov is all about to find a away to overcome

[ebon oyster]

cause i did do 66 raids 2 days ago and 1 day then 13 yesterday

[ebon oyster]

most of them are scav kills while i was doing stirrups

[open grove]

Good stuff, it’s good you’re prioritising quests also. Stirrup is brutal

[ebon oyster]

id say im better with pistols then any other gun right now lol

while i was on interchange coaching some of my friends i got a tt kill on a scav from 24 meters away it was insane fr

longest shot ive done

all my kills

my fav kill is this guy

[open grove]

That TT is painful to use also, makes it more impressive

[thorny whale]

can you find containers in raid and take them home or can i only get them from quests?

[ebon oyster]

i killed this guy after he killed my friend

[open grove]

I bet he enjoyed seeing your account with ~100 hours and a handgun on the death screen

[open grove]

Only from Marked rooms

[ebon oyster]

yeah cause he had a very iced out mosin i died to a guy while i was looting him tho

[thorny whale]

what are marked rooms?

[open grove]

Marked rooms are high tier cultist themed rooms which have very rare and expensive keys. Because of the good loot, they usually become a PVP hot zone at the start of each game as people fight to be the one to open them

[thorny whale]

ohhh okay so i probably donnt have access to them yet

[ebon oyster]

last tt kill i wish i could keep the dog tag but i have a quest that needs 5

[open grove]

As a new player (I’m presuming), I wouldn’t worry about trying to get the keys or go there as you’ll get into a lot of unwanted PVP which chads

So basically the only way to get cases is flea market and quests

[thorny whale]

yeah im lvl 11 so i probably would just die. but i really need more stash space

[open grove]

I have some great stash space tips, I’ll dm you them all one sec

[ebon oyster]

marked room giving me flashbacks watching my 2 friends back while they looted customs they just kept coming

[thorny whale]

that would be super helpfull thx

[ebon oyster]

i had to start using the scav weapons

rashala and atleast 9 pmcs there at dorms

couldnt count how many scavs

customs and doing dorms is hell

[thorny whale]

are there any good spawn points for iskra packs and large beef stew? ive been trying to complete acquaitance with jäger for a few days now but i just cant find the items

[hidden seal]

if rashala is in dorms it means at least it is not infested by a 5 men pmc

[kindred grotto]

Where does the btr spawn on streets?

[hidden seal]

beef stew go inside interchange.. the supermarket thingy

[ebon oyster]

it felt like there was alot i jut kept hearing voips and footsteps

i died to rashala thats the only reason i knew he was there

im pretty sure i had 4 scav kills and 3 pmc kills after that run

[boreal inlet]

[tropic pulsar]

Anyone willing to help out a noob pn PVE mode. Looking to crank out the tour questline or any other of the more complicated early tasks. Any help would be appreciated. 🙂

[safe grove]

you have to do balancing and two quests after that if youre talking about getting the other quests towards theta

[grave frost]

anyone down to queue up night time woods nigeria as a scav in PVP for coop extract

[undone drum]

wdym nigeria

[grave frost]

nigeria servers, highest average matching time, probably guaranteed to get same raid

[undone drum]

ah got it

[dapper epoch]

do I give the fragment for blue fire or keep it

[crisp plume]

you need to do balancing part 2 then you get suprise then you need to do that and create a distraction part 1 before you get the next quest

[ebon oyster]

alr boys im in a dilemma should i buy a 2nd scav junk box

i have 1.2m right now

[crisp plume]

i have 5 rn and im still needing more

if you dont need the money rn for gear or heals and stuff just buy one

[undone drum]

no

[ebon oyster]

i need the money but i need the space

im working in a 10x30 stash

[undone drum]

get rid of stuff, that clogs up space

[ebon oyster]

i need the stuff tho like my ammo guns

and meds

[open grove]

I typically get a 2nd junk box pretty early even if its all my money

[ebon oyster]

all the space i have right now

[open grove]

What lvl are you

[ebon oyster]

14

[open grove]

How far off 15, at 15 you can buy storage items

[ebon oyster]

wrong pic

[open grove]

then you could spend 1m on them instead

[ebon oyster]

bruh

i got to many pfp pics fr

what guns should i sell

these are the rando guns

[open grove]

SVD, nice gun but you dont really need it

[ebon oyster]

k

[open grove]

Costs too much to run and kit up, not worth it til later

I think you can buy this off flea at lvl 15, it takes up 12 spaces and gives you 24

[undone drum]

all u can buy and won´t use in the next raid

[ebon oyster]

hey i had one of those before

k

so mlxr aks 74u pp 91

like do i really need a mlxr

[undone drum]

can u buy it from traders anyway?

[ebon oyster]

no

[undone drum]

all bolt action kills can be done with it

[trail ember]

[trail ember]

does it work even?

[shrewd python]

[ebon oyster]

should i just sell the f5 switchblade backpack

[trail ember]

if a mod sees it: ban this guy

[undone drum]

here someone reported and got a cheater banned

[undone drum]

don´t post names here

[shrewd python]

don't do that, you'll get banned
no witch hunts

[undone drum]

its against the rules of this discord

[trail ember]

ok sorry lol

kind of ironic

[shrewd python]

most people are wrong about being killed by cheaters

[ebon oyster]

what we thing abt the ammo in both my t20 backpacks

[trail ember]

he just wiped 3 man squad 200m away with mp18 by just being good

[shrewd python]

I mean, yea that can happen

[undone drum]

mods are players like you
its a community run discord server, usually no bsg people here anyway

[open grove]

Im gonna DM you some advice 🙂

[ebon oyster]

okay

[undone drum]

mp-18 can mount a sniper scope

[shrewd python]

If he had like 20 hours and a 200 kd then I'd be with you, but someone being good isn't always a cheater lmao

[buoyant echo]

How do I wear night visions without getting frostbite ?

[shrewd python]

new mask i think lets you

gimp mask

[undone drum]

only possible with a arena exclusive mask

sadly

[buoyant echo]

Oh okay thanks

[dapper epoch]

Can someone come into factory with me and lower my armor for sew it good

[trail ember]

he is cheating thats a fact lol, im not here to argue i was just looking for some mods or anything but nvm

[shrewd python]

whatever makes you feel better

[undone drum]

now you know, its not the place

report in game in death screen

[crisp plume]

you can take the mag and pistol grips off guns to make more space btw

[grand linden]

what does this sound mean, it always plays when i go as scav

[shrewd python]

dailies failed and reset

[grand linden]

Where do i even see dailies as scav

[shrewd python]

I don't think you can while you're scavving

you might be able to see your scav daily, which you get from fence

fucking scammer

[weary sky]

🫃

[shrewd python]

report that guy

#discord-mod-mail

[shell osprey]

is there a beginner zone in tarkov?

[weary sky]

gz low level

[shell osprey]

where would i find that?

[grand linden]

ig no missions because im -0.35

[grand linden]

ground zero is basically where all beginners go but still no guarantee you wont meet a 1293921397lvl demon

[shrewd python]

to get fence dailies you need to build intel center 1

[shrewd python]

there is, you can't go into low level ground 0 if you're above level 20

ground zero is the one map with level based matchmaking

if you're above 20, you'll only get put in ground zero with above level 20s

[shell osprey]

well i just died to a triple headshot with a lvl 4 helmet with a visor and he has 2 hours in the gamer played 4 raided survied 4 with 31 kills is he cheating???

[shrewd python]

could be, hard to know
could be a new account, I had like a 50kd on my new account with 5 hours, it counts scav kills toward your kd

but it does sound pretty sus

[shell osprey]

im pretty sure the weapon was a pistol and he killed me while i was on the stairs near flare and he was in the garage im pretty sure so thats like 200m away

even so a pistol shouldnt kill a lvl 4 helmet with visor

[shrewd python]

well that has nothing to do with it, totally depends on ammo and whatnot

[shell osprey]

ah ok

[shrewd python]

but still, seems pretty sus

I'd report

[somber bear]

Hi guys im new to the game, i bought it on the bsg launcher and i have i5 13400f, rtx 3060 ti, 32gb ram 3200mhz, ssd etc. the game is soo poor in fps idk why, tried process lasso, lowering the graphics etc, the rec didnt catch the fps but when i watch the bus/camion its abt 80ish fps, when i watch the gas station its drops to 50/60, but its soo bad

[weary sky]

game is pretty badly optimised. have you seen some videos on best settings to use?

[somber bear]

yeah already tried that settings it makes no difference, maybe i need to put the game at maximus and see

[tiny orbit]

If you play 1080p dont use lowest graphics if thats what you have been doing

Do medium textures

[somber bear]

yeah im playing at 1080p, maybe i try high or medium,

[shrewd python]

low can overload cpu

[hidden seal]

and that made me like this event.. in GZ sub 21 is a real night match

kappa has a q set of tasks very long

gamma is by game edition

[golden prism]

Sorry to ask, but does anyone maybe has an PKP (the one you need for Gunsmith part 25) wich he/she doesn't need?
I'm losing my mind trying to get this weapon from kaban and just can't get it.......

[hidden seal]

no.. but kappa is better

in between there is theta

way less extensive set of tasks to get it

[wary timber]

U get a gamma case at p6 tho

[hidden seal]

that is epsilon is not?

aa prestige not punisher

well anyone doing prestige 6 already has kappa anyway 😛

[wary timber]

nah you dont spawn with kappa 💀

[shrewd python]

Oh that's interesting

[fiery moat]

just got this from 4 mp5's in cultist. its my 4th MGT+key in a row,i got kiba inner gate before and now i have this. is this key good?

epsilon is the one you probably mean since u can only earn epsilon and kappa if you aren't gonna pay any extra money on top of standard edition

[willow hinge]

wasap new to the game, lvl 3. looking for someone to duo with for chill runs and learn maps. been messing around in spt a bit too

[atomic fable]

I've played way too much of Arena but I genuinely do not understand, do bullets go where your reticle is or the centre of the screen? Especially with like leaning running etc... I'm super confused

[crimson thicket]

Mentioning the forbidden mod in this discord is.... Forbidden. Careful with that one friend

[willow hinge]

my bad lol I genuinely did not know that

[crimson thicket]

Yeah no one really does until it gets brought up and then their message gets removed lol. Use #pvp-lfg to find people, usually a couple peeps willing to help new players out. Myself included, just personally won't be sherpa-ing for a few more weeks

[crimson thicket]

When you're ADS it should go on your reticle. For running targets etc... you have to remember tarkov is running on like 8 tick servers. Hitreg doesn't get any worse than tarkov

[atomic fable]

Okay so even when my gun is swaying around like a ship it's where the reticle is then. Got it

if youre standing completely still and theres no sway then yeah but the bullets come out of the barrel so if someone is right infront of you moving left to right its gonna be hard to aim with the reticle

[crimson thicket]

Yeah what Rat said is important to note. The bullets should still be going where you're aiming, but when you're out of arm stamina and the gun is swaying, it's harder to aim and the bullets do come out of the gun, not out of your eyes like they do in most FPS games

[real fiber]

height over bore is also good to mention

[twilit python]

i need assistance as to how the fuck i make this game function and run right without crashing 4 times a raid

[real fiber]

[robust schooner]

Where do i find one of those horse figures i cant find them anywhere

[grizzled basalt]

is there anyone who can help mer in intrerchange

[placid quest]

Safes are your best bet. theres 2 on factory that are easy to access.

[atomic fable]

[lyric bone]

Are there no life super chad fused to their chair ai pmcs on pve? Like the kits

[tepid arrow]

You might get lucky and find one with decent equipment but the ammo will be shit

Unless you really really lucky

[lyric bone]

So is there a chance that i just find an ai pmc with the sweatiest gear of them all?

[tepid arrow]

You won’t find anything too crazy like death shadow + bastion plate

But maybe some class 5-6 armor and t4 helmet with an expensive gun

[onyx lion]

If I’m just starting PVE, what’s the fastest way to gain XP. Do the quests from the traders, or just kill as many SCAVS as possible per raid?

[tepid arrow]

Tasks and kill everything you see while tasking

Also begin the looting process

You don’t have to pick anything up and search but u can if you really wanna squeeze the xp out of the fellow

[onyx lion]

Thanks! Very helpful. And is there an easy way to assess “good” from “bad” ammo?

[placid quest]

Inspect the bullets. In the description itll have a penetration stat and itll tell you what armor that bullet is effective against as well as the damage it does.

[tepid arrow]

It depends where you shoot, if a round has high damage but low penetration(1-10) it’s better to shoot limbs

If it’s got higher penetration it’s better to shoot armor or preferably head (30-60+)

Everything thing else is like

Kinda gross ngl

Only used if no other option is present

But ya just inspect the ammo like the fellow above said

[onyx lion]

Thank you!

Any other notable tips you would share for a beginner? I’m finding inventory management to be a total pain. I’m also unsure how quickly I need to “build” my hideout

[placid quest]

If you want to hop into a VC and stream I can help.

[tepid arrow]

Assuming you have the standard game edition the best thing you could do is upgrade the edition

Otherwise, containers like scav junk box are immensely helpful

[left forge]

is there a safe way to make my gzel -50% durability?

[sharp plume]

ask a friend to shoot you in the head

[unkempt egret]

Inspect them and look at damage and penetration. There's more to ammo than that (eg tracers are a factor to keep in mind for pvp) but those are the important stats.
36 pen and up can reliably pen class 4 armour so that's the treshold for "good" ammo but on PVE you can get away with worse unless fighting specific heavily armoured enemies.
More pen tends to mean less damage but at a certain point the penetration is overkill and the damage lost is arguably a bigger downside. Armour also gets worse as it gets damaged so eg flechette can shred the armour even if at first sight it doesn't pen that well.

Or you go the opposite way and take zero pen/high damage bullets and aim for the (unarmoured) legs to deplete the health pool. Best in high rof guns or shotguns.

[forest quartz]

wtf do i do with tank batteries, ive got 4 of the fuckers all FIR taking up space 😂

[timber pasture]

Does anyone know of a map that could guide me regarding extractions and such?

[left forge]

uhh what do i do if i am a solo player?

[sharp plume]

you can probably get a ai scav to shoot you

[forest quartz]

Mapgenie

[unkempt egret]

Mapgenie or wiki are the best third party maps

[astral glen]

The EFT Wiki is the best resource for maps and it’s completely free

??maps

[red thistle]

Need help learning a map? Try the wiki’s interactive maps! https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Special:AllMaps

[timber pasture]

I was using MapGenie until recently, when in customs it told me there were two extractions for "always open scav," and they were conditional, or not always open. So I'll try the wiki.

[astral glen]

You can see if an extract is available or not by double pressing O on your keyboard

It will list all available extractions and information about them

[timber pasture]

Oh, I didn't know that, tysm, I'll use it

[fiery moat]

if you are standard edition fella just like me, rush to upgrade your stash to lvl2 first. going from 10x30 to 10x40 means extra 100 slots. also a scav junkbox, 1.1m from therapist,buy it. you can put all the building materials,barter goods etc.(basically anything except the items you can use or equip)

[boreal inlet]

can someone take me to labs for tour

[slender dew]

I always tell new players I am helping that they need to buy their scav junk box as soon as possible, ESPECIALLY on a standard edition. Even if it leaves you with 1,000 rubles. Money is easy to make in this game, space is not

[plucky finch]

any great page that guides you through quests to get kappa as fast as posible ? , im kinda lost , last time kappa owned like 3-4 years ?

[humble cliff]

does anyone know where the champions helmet is on the main game? i cant find it

[uneven portal]

[humble cliff]

[uneven portal]

[astral glen]

Because you don’t have above 6 Fence standing

Kaban and his guards hang out at Lexos

[civic leaf]

[zealous scarab]

#pvp-lfg

[keen sentinel]

Every time I want to go labs do I have to transit and have a access card?

[unique mantle]

the Tour story mission unlocks direct labs access and you need one keycard for every raid

[keen sentinel]

With direct access do I still need the card every time?

[unique mantle]

yes

[keen sentinel]

Damn

I need to reach lvl 30 to buy the cards off flea and I don’t got no luck finding them

Just got my first one

[unique mantle]

craft them in the int center

nvm its int center 2, which in itself dont need level 30 but you need a bunch of module at lvl 3

[hidden seal]

but some of thise modules require mechanic at level 3 ( so level 30) afaik

[unique mantle]

It does not need mechanic 3 only mechanic 2 and therapist 3 which is lvl 24

Generator 3, Water 3, Booze gen, bitcoin farm 2 and workbench 3 needs mechanic 3

[light pagoda]

frostbite is still around but no dmg is done though.

[open grove]

Express deals 315 damage per shot(magnum buck even more), PMC health is 440, 2-4 legs shots will kill anyone, one to remember when against PMCs (and its hilarious as their legs fly our from underneath them)

[open grove]

From yesterday, just gotta retrain your brain to not aim high

[hidden seal]

hard to do, unless i simply let go other weapons.. I am still wiring it to aim for head with rifles 😛

[torn rapids]

Yes always aim high with rifles, i was just talking about shotguns 🙂

[hidden seal]

still a bit far from jager l3

[lyric bone]

When is frostbite getting removed

[open grove]

Hasnt been confirmed yet, people thought it might be at event end, but its still here. Next thing on the agenda is Christmas tree is removed on the 19th, so maybe then

[hidden seal]

or maybe is FOREVER MUHUAHUAHUAHU!

and on summer your PMC will have to use a bikini t not get dehidration

[pine crypt]

why does the boss on woods kill me as a scav? I did not kill other scavs or something

[pine crypt]

oh damm thanks

[elfin lotus]

can anyone teach me the exfils?

[wary timber]

all bosses will agro unless you have 6.0+ rep

[elfin lotus]

and how to survive this freaken frostbite

[hidden seal]

in theory all.. but that boss has a very big aggro range

so woods boss can see you and snipe you r scav ass from very far

[pine crypt]

[bleak pasture]

is there an easy way to convert roubles to dollars/euros?

[lyric bone]

All i do for dollars is buy em off peacekeeper

[bleak pasture]

thanks!!

[autumn sentinel]

You could sell stuff to peacekeeper and get dollars from him, as well as you could sell stuff on the fleamarket but instead of selling it for roubles sell stuff for euro/dollars

No trader pays you for selling stuff in euros, so you can only buy euros from Skier (which is expensive) or sell stuff on the fleamarket for euros

[tacit elk]

any sherpa who can enlight me how to find the RFID on labs? I know you are not supposed to find it, i found the master keycard and did 4 raids, but still kerman did not contact me

You need to survive and extract and then Kerman contacts you
