beginners-assistance

[ebon oyster]

yeah fr

i spent 20 raids finding a pack of nails

and 60 raids looking for the damn classic matches

wich is basically my whole acc life

damn my survival rate went up

i went from a 23% to 42% life is looking up fr

[midnight matrix]

how come the 6b13s don't count towards ref's surprise (3x fir t4+ ballistic plate) quest?

[short bay]

mayo save for quest, killa sell

[short bay]

ground zero

TONS of tool boxes

[ebon oyster]

no i already found them

20 raids to find them lol

[short bay]

i am standard account so yeah i need my stuff

[ebon oyster]

i am basically f2p this game was gifted to me

[short bay]

the good thing now is that finding salewas i super easy now

[midnight matrix]

also a standard player, twitch drops almost gave me too much loot

[short bay]

nice

[short bay]

they were insane, unfairly so

[midnight matrix]

yea

[uneven umbra]

I did the opposite 😭

[ebon oyster]

i used mine i got 2 docs bags and 1 injector case

[midnight matrix]

after trying out arena for the quest, it also hands you out a metric ton of xp

crates and all

[short bay]

mayo is easy to find though it will just help you do a quest (go thirsty for 10 min) much easier

[open flower]

have they said if the Christmas flares will work after the event?

[midnight matrix]

gz, still waiting for mine

[short bay]

but killa is just money if you are new

[still mica]

Mean yall be finding stuff in raids I be running around clueless

[ebon oyster]

yeah you find alot of shi

[midnight matrix]

learn maps (offline raids, yt vids, third party websites/apps I can't name )

[uneven umbra]

I sold a jar of pickles I had been saving because it was basically the same money and storage wise

and kept killa

[midnight matrix]

tarkovtracker (dot org, the .io one is outdated) if you need help around questing/what items to hoard

[short bay]

jac pickes is just good money

[ebon oyster]

just run around fr

[short bay]

same with salad and all christmas stuff

[uneven umbra]

I just opened two gifts and it was just junk 😭

[still mica]

Yeah I’ve been using the wiki but I’m 3 days fresh so it takes me awhile to figure out where I’m at

[midnight matrix]

it gets better after XX0 hours trust

[ebon oyster]

ive gotten to the point i have to much food fr

[uneven umbra]

are BEAR Buddy plush toy and domotovich ushanka worth saving?

[ebon oyster]

sell

[midnight matrix]

ive been hoarding the space efficient rigs from twitch drops to store all the meds/food I got it's insane

moar containers

[ebon oyster]

my med and food stash is elite

[short bay]

i need wd 40 now just two of them

[midnight matrix]

lavatory 2 has a craft for em with a big can

[ebon oyster]

to much

[short bay]

the danger of haivng all those items is that they will take space for days without you even using them once

trust me i know 😄

[midnight matrix]

my free space atm, stash2

[uneven umbra]

I just got this stuff from a raid what all do I sell

[short bay]

i spawned on interchange, i saw, i extracted, i regret nothing:

[ebon oyster]

w pull fr

[uneven umbra]

is the iridum thing good?

[ebon oyster]

yes

[short bay]

standard accounts need it for upgrade to safe container

[ebon oyster]

very hard to get fr

[short bay]

and i HATE lighthouse

[uneven umbra]

ive been holding onto one and I was about to sell it 💀

[midnight matrix]

think I sold mine

[ebon oyster]

oh i didnt know i had reserve unlocked huh

[midnight matrix]

[bitter crag]

its only 10 kills

I did it, you can do it!

[ebon oyster]

yo how good reserve fr

[short bay]

10 what?

i mean i have to get irridium and virtex on lighthouse

[bitter crag]

For punisher p4

[ebon oyster]

epsilon pouch huh

[bitter crag]

yea

[short bay]

punisher 6 is epsilon

so no its in no way 10 kills 😄

[ebon oyster]

no its 10 svd kills for p6 im pretty sure

[bitter crag]

on lighthouse, everything else is easy

[short bay]

maybe for you 😄

[bitter crag]

for anyone, just needs time

part 4 is pure suffering tho

[ebon oyster]

i only have 14 pmc kills fr

[bitter crag]

youll get those up if you go looking for them

[ebon oyster]

i look for them i fight i die cause i only use mp 18 cause im broke

been getting my usd up only

[bitter crag]

then the moment you take your first shot, the fight is decided, its purely based off aim, so only take engagements where the enemy is still and you see their head

[ebon oyster]

and upgraded my stash

so 2.5m out but i needed the space

[short bay]

getting 2.5 mil is the easiest part

[ebon oyster]

it only took me 9 raids to get the 2.5m fr

[short bay]

wd 40 is a pain in the ass i need 2more

[ebon oyster]

get 1 wd 40 400ml and lavatory lvl 2 will help

[short bay]

i dont even have lavatory 1 lol

damn toothpaste

[ebon oyster]

bruh

[short bay]

im not new i reset my account and having fun in the snow but damn the materials..

[ebon oyster]

damn

snow

[short bay]

green helmet best item

[ebon oyster]

just got rid of the frostbite i can finally wear my 13 class 4 helmets

[short bay]

got rid?

[ebon oyster]

yes its gone now they need to get rid of the snow itself

[short bay]

REALLY? 😄

good to know

[ebon oyster]

i can finally not wear the ssh

[swift acorn]

whats this supposed to be for in the hall of fame

[ebon oyster]

idk

[short bay]

dog tags?

[swift acorn]

tags are on the left side

[ebon oyster]

i wish i could keep my 5 dogtags but i had to give em to prapor i had a prestige 3 lvl 41 in there

[uneven umbra]

are star slugs good?

[ebon oyster]

nuh uh

[fallen swallow]

Might be a poster spot

[swift acorn]

checked but there isnt even a poster section for hall of fame

[uneven umbra]

flechette or star 20 gauge?

[ebon oyster]

tf

7mm buckshot and a dream

and if you can polva 3 slugs

i like these slugs cause ive dropped scavs in 1 shot

[hidden seal]

tbh anyv12 gauge kill scavs in 1 shot

[ebon oyster]

i like these ones cause they got better range fr

[hidden seal]

range yes

but then i prefer to use a rifle if i expect ranged fight

buckshot helps with my awful aim

[uneven umbra]

what map should I run for the "hand over any building materials to skier" quest

[ebon oyster]

yeah but ive had a bad run with buckshot unless its in a full auto shot gun fr

[ebon oyster]

interchange and a dream

easy to understand

[hidden seal]

interchange is fastest one to get stuff in one place

[uneven umbra]

I prefer interchange over customs 🙏

[uneven umbra]

im running 20/70 Poleva-3 slugs now too lmao

[ebon oyster]

interchange is easy cause just go to emercom wich is in a corner or railway wich is in a corner

[hidden seal]

notice you can do that mission as a scav

[long onyx]

what gun is actually worth building here at the start, sick of getting outgunned, not that that’s the issue 90% of the time but still

[ebon oyster]

ak 74u

[short bay]

the ammo is what matters not the gun, most of the time

[hidden seal]

well you will be outgunned and outarmored for a while

[short bay]

regular pp19 smg or ak is fine

shoot the legs or the face

[ebon oyster]

good build

[hidden seal]

saiga shotgun is great is you gave awful aim as I do

[ebon oyster]

got this from 3 chads that helped me

[long onyx]

yeah but when i run a kedr or like idk a mosin or something i feel like i’m even outgunned by people my level😂

[long onyx]

i shall try

[hidden seal]

kedr , specially B is not a bad starting weapon

[ebon oyster]

just gotta be better and smarter then them fr

better positioning

[uneven umbra]

where would building matterials spawn?

[short bay]

ops is also really good if you can handle the recoil

[short bay]

which ones

[ebon oyster]

tooolbox

[torn rapids]

solid build yeah

[uneven umbra]

idk whatever I can turn into skier

[short bay]

filing cabinets tool boxes

[hidden seal]

there is a whole building materials storexst the mall

[short bay]

just scav ground zero

[grand orbit]

Just killed a guy hear „cling on asphalt“ boom nade from his daddy lol

[ebon oyster]

ground zero is a shit show fr maybe its cause im lvl 15

[long onyx]

i’ve been scaving on customs just running to dorms to loot guards or dead pmcs

[short bay]

actually, gz AFTER 21 is a shitshow

[uneven umbra]

any one these?

[short bay]

oh wait

when you scav its the same as lvl 21+

[ebon oyster]

just run around in the building as a scav or something man

[short bay]

i guess that works for money, but for items my go to is gz most of the time

[uneven umbra]

fair enough 💀

[long onyx]

i’ve only really gotten around to learning customs and interchange

[short bay]

i'm telling you man filing cabinets for the nails, bolts etc

[ebon oyster]

thats basically what you do unless your questing fr

[uneven umbra]

the tree at dorms has insane loot and I only realized on a naked raid

[short bay]

interchange is BEST for scaving money, medical, armor and guns

for me at least

[long onyx]

working on getting a handle on woods atm but the snow ain’t helping

[short bay]

there is a place with tons of salewas and cms and one with almost always a lvl 4 armor and an ak

[ebon oyster]

its good for nuts and bolts if you hit the right spots fr

like powerplant

idea store

[short bay]

nah for those i go gz so much toolboxes and filing cabinets that i can connect with a pc run too

i guess its a personal preference also i love gz and not a lot of people like the map so its free lot

it has two safes too! i found a bitcoin in one two days ago

[hidden seal]

interchange only problem is as scav you might mot have time to check lots of places

[ebon oyster]

and if you go a little behind powerplant theres a place that has tools and parts spawns

[short bay]

my heart was pounding uber hard before i extracted

[short bay]

yes but people actually GO there 😄 not on gz

[short bay]

i only check 4 places, and its usually 2 depending on which spawn

[ebon oyster]

gz has good spawns but he is still a timmy

[bitter crag]

aks

[short bay]

so what? scav is free

[long onyx]

using up the 3 kedrs in stash then trying the ak build that was put in

[bitter crag]

kedrs are great too

[ebon oyster]

yeah i know that but idk if he knows how to exfill

[short bay]

i'm going again gz to find damn wd

[long onyx]

definitely the most successful gun for me atm but not cutting it rn

[ebon oyster]

find tooth paste to fr

makes life easy

[short bay]

wont make me get those wd 😄 but yeah same run is for paste and toilet paper

i found TWO graphics cards in second floor pc room on gz

but no wd

[ebon oyster]

lavatory lvl 2 will let you split the wd 40 400ml to 4 100ml

2 100ml

[short bay]

bro by the time i GET to lvl 2 i will have found 6 of them already

[hidden seal]

i needc2 screw boxes for lavatory 2. these dam things never appear when you need the most

[ebon oyster]

yeah

[short bay]

boxes?

[ebon oyster]

toolboxes op fr

[hidden seal]

the icon is a box of screws

lol automod does it again

[short bay]

yep

[ebon oyster]

little broke from upgrading fr

[short bay]

i went afull caps ground zero

cant stress enough

[hidden seal]

automod keeps muting people from typing fast.

[short bay]

i am now VERY selective when looting

[ebon oyster]

this is all from interchange and woods fr

i wish i had that many wires and light bulbs fr

for lighting lvl 2

[midnight matrix]

yeah same, I only take stuff that can fit in my scav box

[ebon oyster]

w loot

[hidden seal]

dont post an image with that msny RAM, or openAI might send pmcs to your home

[ebon oyster]

lol

[midnight matrix]

I'm hoarding all the ram

[ebon oyster]

thats atleast 1m in ram maybe

[hidden seal]

altman... is that your tarkov account?

[ebon oyster]

90k per ram im pretty sure

[midnight matrix]

they're 120k each

[ebon oyster]

damn

[midnight matrix]

"Elon's Rams"

[ebon oyster]

go to your info i want to see the stash sell price fr hiro

[midnight matrix]

eh

[ebon oyster]

45m

45.8m

45.9m

bro gots me saying the wrong thing

[midnight matrix]

[midnight matrix]

started selling ev erything to pk early on to get 20k

midway through I realized it's only to have access to lighthouse

so I just dunked all my dollars into 5 mp5 sacrifices

[ebon oyster]

i only got a few good keys fr

[uneven umbra]

do I need to have all my turn in items at once because it says I have nothing to turn in but im looking at the building matterials for the turn in any building matterials quest

[ebon oyster]

yes

and you need to visit skeir

[midnight matrix]

I swear some quests ask you which items you wanna turn in

and others just yank it off your hands the moment you even watch the damn button

[ebon oyster]

yeah

[midnight matrix]

perhaps you need FIR building items?

[grand orbit]

Why can’t I extract anywhere as scab on customs

[ebon oyster]

you know what im gonna check out reserve

[midnight matrix]

check your exits

[ebon oyster]

set exfills

[midnight matrix]

some of them aren't available to you

[ebon oyster]

like scavs on interchange you will always have emercom railway and coop

[grand orbit]

This games aids af😭😂 checkt 5 exfoliating killed players, see another shoot him in the back with 762 he survives shoot him again and he one taps me

[midnight matrix]

you ahve every exit available on scav gz, all the time

[grand orbit]

Cheers

[ebon oyster]

any tips for reserve

never been there

gonna go dilly dally

go ragebait players and other scavs

[grand orbit]

why tf does knifing a scav 11 times to the head do nothing

Mb 6 times

[compact vortex]

I was thinking the same thing

[grand orbit]

He just could not have cared less 😂😂😂

[ebon oyster]

This game has a sick sense of humor

Osprey sj6 and a takedown and a helmet

[tame belfry]

What painkiller should i run and buy?

[cursive prawn]

depends what level you’re at, and what you have access to.

[cursive prawn]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Medical here are the stats of the medications, you can compare them for yourself and see what is available for purchase for you

[uneven umbra]

do I have to actually have the cash on me to use vehicle extracts and if so can it be in my alpha container?

[undone drum]

yes and yes

bring 25k

[cursive prawn]

it can be in your container

[hidden seal]

yes, it is advisable in fact to have a wallet or a doc case (preferred) on your container when you can

since it effectively expands a lot how much your container can store

[uneven umbra]

I might be crazy but it looks like theres atleast 5 building matterials here

[hidden seal]

pliers are not materials

theya re tools

[uneven umbra]

yeah but the screws tape nails

does it have to be different items?

wait nvm figured it out 💀

[hidden seal]

look how many are found in raid

[uneven umbra]

apparently I had to vist him

mb 😭

[hidden seal]

only one screw is found in raid

[uneven umbra]

found it mb 😭

hey i need help for balancing part 1 5 scav kill with Aug A1, which map where ican get easlily 5 kills?

[cloud basin]

how do i link up eft and arena xp? eft xp is 30~50k lower

i still gain xp but its offset

[tiny orbit]

It is bugged. Delayed syncing

[dense river]

good day, found this in factory, shall I sell it or is it needed for a quest in the future?

also, what does that ✅ symbol means?

[undone drum]

check out tarkov wiki real quick
just google:
tarkov wiki bitcoin

It will tell you if you need it for quests or hideout

[undone drum]

It means its "found in raid"
Some items need to be that if needed for quests or hideout

[celest agate]

LFG lvl 11

[uneven umbra]

how far are we till wipe cause I js started

and does breaching a door actually do anything

[placid quest]

theres only a handful of doors in the game need to be breached to open. some doors can be breached if it swings away from you when opening.

[uneven umbra]

how do I get to med tent gate extract on factory?

door cant be opened

[placid quest]

u need a key

[uneven umbra]

alr also is "santas bag" rare?

[placid quest]

its only available during the winter/christmas season. Its not really a highly desired item but if you want to keep it you can.

[dense river]

thank you

[raw ermine]

Any tips for getting intel folders? Already checking the spawns at interchange and custroms, around 20 scav raids in and no luck on finding any :_(

[placid quest]

Dorm 110 key has a pretty consistent spawn.

[uneven umbra]

completely unprepared for the fact I just slimmed out santa claus on factory

also is it normal to find dead and unlooted but stacked PMCs on factory

found two bodies killed by some guy named Wixt with an SV-98

g36 or m4a1 cause I dont have room for both

[sharp plume]

m4

[cloud basin]

is the CAT a one time use?

[cloud basin]

yea

faster esmarch

a calok is 3 use

[jolly hill]

how do i get hideout items from the cultist circle

[cloud basin]

sacrifice 400k (iirc) and then theres a 25% chance to get a 6hr circle, from which u will get hideout/task items

just do 5 mp5s

[jolly hill]

alright thanks

[cloud basin]

25% chance for 6hr and 75% for 14 hr which just gives u valuables, i got a bunch of marked keys from it

[uneven umbra]

is the 6B23-1 body armor good

cause im trying to make room and armor class 2 doesnt seem great

i just got killed by a skav during a scav run. i didnt shoot at anybody just looted some rooms and bodies, anybody know why i got killed? happened twice to me know

[wary timber]

could be a player scav

[hidden seal]

200 years

[thorny whale]

wouldnt be the player name shown after the round? or do they only show the name if it was a pmc?

[wary timber]

scav name (player name) will look something like this if it was a pscav

[hidden seal]

depends.. if you have armor 4 armor.. sell all level 2 you have

imho

level 3 is the bare minimul ( works at least against scavs)

[thorny whale]

oh ok thx

[uneven umbra]

im trading it out for a 6B4-15 which is class 4 with 10 container size

[hidden seal]

now.. udnerstand... on the start of your career the average lifespan of your equipment is 1 raid

because you will die almost all your first raids

so on your first dozen raids armro is not your main concern

all hideout parts keep. sell whiskey therapist. keep fuel. keep food. use ornaments now

sell blickey sell airsoft helmet.

[uneven umbra]

use ornaments?

[hidden seal]

to build christmas tree

on hideout

[wispy void]

to build the tree or use in recipes.

mule is a great craft.

[uneven umbra]

what do I do with the 400ml WD-40 if every build wants the 100mll

[faint gate]

any tips on how to extract from customs? im new

[sharp plume]

you can see it on the wiki woods map its near the fallen plane

[sharp plume]

use the map on the wiki so you know where the extracts are

[vocal mist]

google "tarkov wiki firework" and you'll find out

[vocal mist]

Yes, progress through [[Tour]] and you'll get access to him

[broken quail]

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

[vocal mist]

Yes, with the end of the event

[vocal mist]

isn't announced, you can look at the changelog on the wiki and look for when the winter starter in previous years

[arctic stump]

It’s assumed the 18th

[uneven umbra]

so when I call it in does it land at me or somewhere random on the map

[ivory swift]

is the christmas tree limited

[dusty spruce]

it lands near where the firework is shot into the sky

[uneven umbra]

so in theory the best move would be get near my extract and then call it in?

[reef chasm]

Is there a particular reason why they are all selling water at a price much higher than Trader's?

I'm thinking about selling all my waters at 10~12k. Not sure why theirs are that expensive

pve btw

[vocal mist]

Yes, is a solid strategy. You risk a bit that there will be slightly higher player traffic around the extract than at some random point on the map, but you will also have much easier time with getting back with your loot

[reef chasm]

I just listed a water at 18 k and it was sold instantly. Why? Why would anyone buy water at 18k while they can buy one at Therapist for 12k?

[thorny whale]

what do you gain from building the christmas tree? i havent done it yet

[undone drum]

2 x lvl 6 plates for 6 white ornaments

Ledx for 30 and couple other things

Those are best imo

[tidal lagoon]

they have used up their restock or they are bricked

[fleet creek]

I’m really getting to the point of where I would pay a solid team to help me with these arena tasks to unlock the ref transfers, I’m a dad of two under 8 I don’t have a lot of time to play, I played a lot back pre inertia wipe. But then took about a two to three year break. I’m not horrible in arena but these tasks are seriously rough for someone that doesn’t play with anyone. I’m stuck on part three of getting atleast 3rd in TF,BG, or CP. and this task just keeps going. I just wanna unlock transfers for my gp coins and cases. Then scurry back to pve like the pleb that I am. Is ANYONE willing to help a guy out?

[still mica]

Squad up?

[reef chasm]

You “could” try finding teams that intentionally lose to you to let you complete specially ridiculous tasks. I heard it’s VERY popular among Chinese players but I’m not sure about western players here. So basically you find other players with similar tasks. You get into match together. One team lose intentionally for many rounds and then let the other team lose for many rounds in a row. It’s very fast. And most of the time it’s completely free because you pay by losing to the other team intentionally. Some say you can get the secure container within one day only. But again, this is what Chinese players do in their QQ groups. Not sure here on Discord

What I can do for you is find you a QQ group. Chances are they are very friendly to English speakers even if you don’t know how to speak their language.

[sharp plume]

special crafts

[sharp plume]

limit of only 5

[uneven umbra]

so shoot it late raid?

[reef chasm]

If you prefer to search these groups yourself. Here’s a little tip. Download the app “小黑盒” and search “撞车” under Tarkov community. You’ll probably find a lot of posts that has group number in it.

[fleet creek]

I’m open to anything at this point, I don’t know what QQ is tho.

[reef chasm]

It’s the Chinese equivalent of Discord/Facebook… kinda

[fleet creek]

Ahhhh gotcha

[reef chasm]

193663166 here, I found one of these groups for you. It’s the number of a QQ group that has tons of people doing the Arena thingy.

[vocal mist]

By then there will also be player scavs who don't risk their gear and can take dangerous engagements. There isn't really an universal strategy, or at least I don't know about one 😄

[short bay]

cartridge for a pistol for flares?

ok but how do we get mines then? playing pve and its if we kill sturman for it we dont have enough time to use btr to get in there. is there another way out? like pve makes it so u dont have enough time to get it if thats the case

[hidden seal]

shipping delay you only need to get to depot and get a package

no need to involve shturman

[mild cove]

the extract uses the mines item and its either shturman or rng

[hidden seal]

what you talking about? https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Shipping_Delay_-_Part_1 jsut get intot the depot get the package get back into BTR ask it to leave you in a place of yoru rpeference

extract from there

[mild cove]

wait ive found out so u take btr there and u can use train out

[hidden seal]

BTR gives you liek 5 min.. plenty of time to get the package

[mild cove]

worreid it takes too long to get the package but its quick apparently but if it does leave us we can use train

[mild cove]

rly? thought it was like 2 and we worried if we couldnt find it

[hidden seal]

if you worried wehn you arrrive pay to it to go to old saw mill and jump out

it wil lgo to oldsaw mill wait a few min there adn go bcak to depot

[mild cove]

ahh ok

[hidden seal]

so you get it back like 8 min later

[mild cove]

cool thanks 😄

[hidden seal]

if you cannto find the package in 8 min you need glasses

[mild cove]

we was always running low on time and the 1 time we get into the area with btr we had 1 minute left but we had mines

[hidden seal]

checkwiki and memorize where it is

thatmission you should run when you find the btr early in raid

[mild cove]

^^ see where it is but seen it can spawn in different buildings too

[hidden seal]

yes but in 8 minute syou can get it and even loot the area

[mild cove]

yh again worried wed get trappped and fucked but i youtubed it and found a way to get out if we do end up trapped etc

but yh thanks again

[thorny whale]

ive noticed that the quest missing in action has dissapeared for me. i know i havent completed it since i havent unlocked reserve. does anybody know why its gone?

[woven ermine]

sometimes when i put a laser on a gun, when i scope in the laser isnt centered with the scope crosshair? any help

[ivory swift]

does selling stuff to ragman count towards roubles spent to level him up? like therapist?

[hearty turret]

is there any way to just click on items in my bag that ihave after a raid and sell them from the bag?/character?

[fallen swallow]

It's the same for every trader except ref and fence

[old moat]

anyone got a clan i join

[fallen swallow]

if its pmc just drag your bag into stash then open it once in trader screen and sell the items, note you have to open it again for each trader

[sharp plume]

pretty sure it works like that for all traders

[hearty turret]

Any way to attach a suppressor to this m4a1?

I did a linked search but I don't seem to see any suppressors available? weird?

[keen fossil]

You need a muzzle to attach most suppressors to

and make sure it’s for 556

[hearty turret]

i think because im level 6 still i dont have a lot of this stuff unlocked

[placid quest]

yeah you wont really have suppressors unlocked until about level 2 traders. most suppressors require secondary part to be able to attach to a barrel. only a select few in the game can be direct thread to a barrel.

[hidden seal]

for buying yes.. but you can find in field basically anything

from the get go

so if you are lucky you can find a supressor on for it very early in a raid

bro why is my mp5 sd over 4kg's? i can't turn in gunsmith 3 LOL this is so frustrrating

nevermind, idk what the hell was happening

[bold schooner]

does arena make you better at normal tarkov? (im a beginer)

[dusty spruce]

the only thing arena does for you is help you get used to how tarkov movement works, and getting used to gunplay, it doesn't do anything for survival instinct

[bold schooner]

yeah that was my inital thought, i mean i still feel like it will help me tho i tend to struggle with the like mechanics

i played like a few matches and you know the amount of pvp i get in is amazing i can feel my hipfire aim getting better

also my exp is skyrocketing i'll be able to get a better level and unlock more flea thigns

[reef chasm]

What’s the difference between light and heavy armor? Except the durability and skill group? I’ve seen some videos declaring that heavy armor reduces or even ignore blunt damage but I have not found relevant info on wiki

[uneven umbra]

what do I even do with this shit I killed a guy with a toz headshot

[keen briar]

sell it for profit. its garbanzo beans

[uneven umbra]

alr

ty 🙏

[keen briar]

wait

[keen briar]

what lvl are you

[uneven umbra]

8

[keen briar]

oh

keep the water, iskra, ig esmarches if you want. and the supressors and wait til later and sell them on flea market perhaps=

You also need the hideout parts

shit i mean if youre level 8 rock what you can tbh

my bad i just completely 180'd my advice

[uneven umbra]

alright lmao

[patent estuary]

yeah fine

isnt ceramic supposed to break insanely fast? how did this guy tank 27 bullets to the chest

[runic knot]

Literally just started, need to find ragman, nayone got a group?

[icy cairn]

hey guys just started today and my pc runs it horribly

my specs are - AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8 Core, AMD B650 Chipset, Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 12GB, 32GB 6000MHz RAM, 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD

[shrewd sapphire]

Are you only running the game while playing? U have basically the minimum amount of ram to play this game.

[icy cairn]

yup just the game

[shrewd sapphire]

Not discord, YouTube tabs, etc?

[icy cairn]

oh discord yea

nothing else tho

[shrewd sapphire]

Are you streaming?

Discord alone can use 1 to 2 gb in the background even more while streaming putting you below 32. Game is not optimized well, do you have setting tuned down? I’d suggest loooking at a couple guides

[tidal lagoon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KqNwl7BKuA&t use this vid

def shouldnt be running horribly tho, depending on what horribly means for u

[hoary herald]

could i maybe get a duo

sydney servers

[sly kettle]

hmm, even with performance DLSS i had a ryzen 5 5600x, 3070, 16gb 3200mhz ram, and a 1tb m.2 and i still got at least 60 fps on minimal settings

[thorny wren]

i think i just got the best armor of a dead body

but idk

its level 6 and sells for 250000

[reef chasm]

What’s the difference between light and heavy armor? Except the durability and skill group? I’ve seen some videos declaring that heavy armor reduces or even ignore blunt damage but I have not found relevant info on wiki

[silent sage]

I think they are just split into classes for the skill group

[reef chasm]

Alright then

[willow storm]

The skills are split into heavy and light. At elite level, light armor can prevent bleeding from armored parts while heavy armor has the chance to deflect bullets

[reef chasm]

Assuming I’m wearing a vest with plate and soft armor.
•If the bullet’s pen is high enough to penetrate the hard plate, will the soft armor still reduces any of that left-over damage?
• If the bullet don’t go through plate, it turns into blunt damage and soft armor can reduce that. That much I know.

For this reason, I wonder if PACA can even stop a 1~10 pen bullet even it says it’s class 2. It has no plate and all soft

[tepid shale]

...Did me and this scav manage to tap eachother at the exact same time? didn't even know that was possible

[frank junco]

must have, if he bled out it would not show a distance on the kill

but the times are a min off?

[minor crescent]

[vernal shoal]

its not ? i did that couple of times i heard my shoot but only scav killed me nothing in kill feed

[bold schooner]

hey any tips on to great heights part 3, i just unfortunately got to that part and i really want to transfer stuff from arena to eft

[manic sable]

theres not really any tips you just gotta play well

checkpoint is the easiest

[tepid shale]

It's a rough one for sure, I found the easiest way to 'cheese' it was to play checkpoint on bay map, capture B then sit in the containers hidden and wait for B to be getting capped then swing on people. Gets you enough kill to top3 and you should win by holding B, no good aim required

[bold schooner]

thank you a lot

[bold schooner]

[simple scarab]

yo can anyone help me set up my acc i got the game on steam but it ain't working

[fiery moat]

is the only "downside" of low pmc karma just partisan seeking to hunt you down? sometimes i get the "pmc karma increased" sfx(calming music and bird chirping) and sometimes i get the "pmc karma decreased" sfx(the opposite of the first sound) but are they just there for the sake of it?

[sharp plume]

heard someone say it increases trader prices but im pretty sure it just causes partizan to hunt you

[long onyx]

prapor rep is killing me atm lol can’t get any quests or grenadier kills lol

[orchid folio]

level up

[orchid folio]

there will be more quests

[long onyx]

level 17 atm doing scav kills on interchange, you hardly know what quest would be next for him?

[orchid folio]

yeahhh def level up then

he has plenty of quests

shipping delay part 1

and uhh some others I forgot

[long onyx]

all good thanks man

[topaz dawn]

For scav kills on woods, are you better to try blitz spawns like the house or wait till later in the raid?

[orchid folio]

be careful PVP map full of chads and people you cant see

[long onyx]

well aware😂😂

[orchid folio]

just roam around and go to hotspots

[topaz dawn]

Trying to do the jaeger no armour quest so it's a bit difficult to stay alive at hotspots

[manic sable]

Bring armor but only take it off when you see scavs

[long onyx]

🫨

[orchid folio]

not that hard

[wary timber]

Is the wiki 100% accurate when it comes to kappa quests?

Wuld save me a alot of time cuz can just check off the quests from wiki instead of making my own spreadsheet

[undone drum]

yes

[unique linden]

how come santa keep killing me? I just killed killa and santa was trying to kill me now im on streets and he just killed me

[slate spade]

Anyone have any suggestions where to loot hideout supplies I need FIR? I genuinely did 15 runs on military camp on shoreline as PMC. I died in like 10 of them.

Same with customs, the new expansion areas. I keep dying a lot, people camp these areas heavily.

I need (Drills, toolsets, batteries, phase control relays) I am at a point. continuing to task while looting is not working. I am far behind and held up on 3 upgrades. Just because I need 1 more drill.

[safe grove]

Early stages I just hit back oli and goshan on inter for stuff I can't craft in hideout

[wary timber]

GZ underground

[humble cave]

Yes. 100% and 105% more correct than random websites

[torn rapids]

Shaking up the Teller

[slate spade]

Where is this at GZ underground? what map?

[vestal bramble]

who should i give folder 0052 to?

[vocal mist]

they meant the underground section of the map Ground Zero

[vocal mist]

Look up both quests on the wiki to see the rewards and penaltiesof each

[manic sable]

Have you killed rogues shortly before?

[icy sable]

in PVE a player??

[manic sable]

PvE has ai pmcs

[manic sable]

Also an ai as you cannot view their profile

[icy sable]

thx

[weary sky]

shame we lost another soldier

[icy sable]

nah

pve is trash but dont want to progress

[uneven umbra]

[marble sage]

How can I lvl up fast to 15 ?

[silent sage]

[marble sage]

They give like 1k

[silent sage]

The more you do the better rewards

[marble sage]

You mean side quest or daily? In story I am at give 20k dollar

[silent sage]

side quest

[marble sage]

They hard

Like wdym extract using car in ground zero

I can’t even survive 5min

[silent sage]

Are all of your side quest the starter ground zero ones

[uneven umbra]

how do I know which headphones are good

[silent sage]

There is a list on the wiki that ranks them distance wise, but realistically its whichever you like the most

[lucid sentinel]

i thought the snow was going away yesterday?

[silent sage]

frostbite effect

[marble sage]

I did 2 from doc and other look annoying

[lucid sentinel]

oh ok, when does the snow leave?

[silent sage]

Well they will be your best bet and the most important quests as they will give best rewards and progression

[silent sage]

Prolly spring

[silent sage]

Maybe lfg someone and duo or tro some quests if they get tricky

[marble sage]

Is fine I’ll just do solo

Ty

[uneven umbra]

which is better

im 90% sure its the omega one

[silent sage]

Right

The bigger the armour class number the better

[manic sable]

Brother 😭

One of them literally has replica in the namr

[uneven umbra]

yeah but I wanted to make sure the armor points werent a deciding factor because I have no clue how to repair lmaooo

[silent sage]

you right click and press repair to repair.
Armour points do matter but not when there is a class difference

[uneven umbra]

alr

also is it worth keeping duplicate Dorm 214 keys

[silent sage]

Pretty sure thats the one with the safe so sure

[uneven umbra]

wiki says One Safe, Loose loot (Ammunition), Possible Dorm room 203 key in the red mug

what do I do with a "TerraGroup Labs access keycard" and should I js sell it to a trader

[silent sage]

Sell it or go labs

[uneven umbra]

how did the guy I js died to get to level 22 in 33 hours?

I feel like thoese stats dont add up

[placid quest]

he could have played arena a bunch

[uneven umbra]

okay then yeah that makes sense

[placid quest]

my pvp pmc is probably like level 30 with only 2 raids this wipe

[uneven umbra]

Im at a 15% survival on my pmc and a 76% on my scav so 💀

[celest agate]

refund it, jk. dont have gear fear

learn good scav routes and regular raid routes for loot

[sharp plume]

watch guides and use the maps on the wiki

[slate spade]

you need to learn to navigate through buildings more often and avoid the roads. same with using the underground. i mean no matter what pvp happens in this game. but yeah learning the inner map works best.

[weary sky]

When spawning on the far east side of shoreline (near terminal spot), how do you guys suggest on playing that spawn? Before terminal, I used to play defensively behind the railway track (near railway bridge extract) - and wait 'till someone else pushes my spawn. So I can snipe them. They usually appear on the little hill near that car.

would a tank helmet be better?

cause I can either buy a tank for a FORT Kiever-M

no helmet would probably be best those helmets have low protection and hinder hearing

but 34k for the FORT is a bit rich for my blood

[quartz magnet]

that helmet is god awful

[hallow juniper]

With a srm should I am only for legs

[wispy void]

what ammo do you have access to?

[hallow juniper]

I just found it in raid has 7n42

[tall island]

bro my ip is temporarly blocked what can i do

[wispy void]

7n42 has good pen. aim for heads.

[tall island]

it doesnt let me open the launcher or the website now lol

[wispy void]

wait 48 hours

[tall island]

what if it does it again

why does it do that also

[wispy void]

"unusual activity" impossible to know without knowing your traffic

[tall island]

well i moved houses i was playing at a couple states away so ip is different

[wispy void]

yeah a large jump can do it

especially if you login between both ip's within an hour of eachother.

dont do it too much. they are liable to think you are account sharing which is against tos

[tall island]

ok

thanks

[fiery moat]

none of these helmets are worth it bro. just dont get helmets if you are getting low tier ones anyways

dude i just got literally 20 bullets of 9mm (bp) for 14 hours in cultist.

now i put in 4 mp5s and i get 12 hour, i'll probably get a box of apple juice now

[uneven umbra]

so hats for the drip?

[fiery moat]

facemasks*

[uneven umbra]

fair

[fiery moat]

if ur going long range just dont need to use helmets anyways

[uneven umbra]

well that raid I saw a festive airdrop and looted it but it was js matterials and a sling bag and then got shot leaving the airdrop 👍

[valid tide]

Every single time I try and use greenflare railway on Customs, I end up being shot by the sniper. It even said that I was extracting the past two times, with 3 seconds left this most recent one. What am I doing wrong?

[ivory trench]

anyone know wher ei am in customs?

[tawdry briar]

thnx

[tidal lagoon]

if u want a sherpa go here, not sure they will help u in that way tho

[shrewd sapphire]

WHY WONT MY CLOTHES CHANGE WHEN I TRY TO CHANGE THEM THROUGH RAGMAN IN ARENA

[torn rapids]

sherpas don't really do that lol

just look up a guide

[torn rapids]

because... that's not how you change clothes in arena..

[shrewd sapphire]

OK how do u

[torn rapids]

go to your preset

then at the top of the page, it should say character or something

click that

[shrewd sapphire]

oh thanks

is arena cosmetics also in regular EFT or nah

[tidal lagoon]

yes

all cosmetics u get except like weapon skins u can use it EFT

masks etc can be bought from ref and the clothing u have to change in the overall tab

[torn rapids]

everything except the scav clothing and weapon skins

scav clothes are arena only

[tawdry briar]

really? ive tried and multiple and i cant also 3 years ago i had help with reshalla

[uneven umbra]

is the rule of thumb that you should be selling everything you dont plan on using in the next 5 raids accurate?

my storage is full of shit I know is good but I know I dont have the skill level to use in raid yet

I have a grand total of 5 pmc kills in my total 65 raids

[open grove]

If low on space thats a pretty good idea. Some stuff is worth running instead of selling if the sell price isnt particularly high. E.g some good stuff will sell to trader for 30,000 but would cost 100,000 to buy from the flea. So may as well use it up

Stuff i would remove

1. Magazines you can buy, they take up space and usually cost like 2,000 to buy. Its not worth keeping them around when you can get them when you are about to run a weapon for cheap.
2. Low end bullets you can just buy. Same logic, sell them and buy them when you need them, the money you lose doing this isnt worth the space they take up
3. Suppressors that require an adapter you cant buy(most of them), you cant get the adapter so, basically useless!
4. (Storage tip) Use rigs that provide more space than they take up as storage, each rig can be themed as a heal rig, ammo rig etc, some can be bought from fence and ragman level 2. Use these until you can unlock the cases

[uneven umbra]

ty 🙏

also wth does the Unity Credit Bank cash register key do because all I found behind it was a locked safe and a filing cabinet

how do I unlock a safe if I already used a key to get to it

[open grove]

Safes can be pretty good for money making, its not an amazing room but because its key locked, youre basically guaranteed the loot if you get there, even if someone has looted the rest of the building (as they likely wont have the key)

[uneven umbra]

yeah but how do I open the safe?

I didnt see anything on the wiki

it just had a red "LOCKED" prompt on it so I left and was immediately shot

atleast the key was in my container so I can go back but yk

[open grove]

Some safes you cant open, so its just a key to 4 filing cabinets in that case!

Yeah that particular safe doesnt have a key to open it

[uneven umbra]

so reasonably worthless key lmao?

[open grove]

Yeah a pretty bad one for sure

[uneven umbra]

fair

[uneven umbra]

also last thing, how do I know which of my suppressors "require an adapter you cant buy"?

[open grove]

Do you have your workbench built?

[uneven umbra]

nope

working on it

[open grove]

So for now, right click the suppressor and press 'Linked search'

If a thread adapter shows up as the only thing, that means it requires one

If a gun shows up, that means it can go straight on

[uneven umbra]

oh shit okay thank you

what if it shows flash hiders lol

[open grove]

If both adapters and barrels show up, then it means it can go straight on to those barrels. E.g this suppresor fits straight onto an RPK barrel

Once you have your work bench, its much easier as you gain access to the following view:

So for an M4, only 1 suppresor in the game goes straight onto the barrel without an adapter, the R43 at the bottom right

The AK's have a few however

[uneven umbra]

okay yeah thanks again

[open grove]

No worries! Its definitely one of the more technical parts of the game

[fair ginkgo]

can someone help explain how i link the vc im in into the lfg chat

[uneven umbra]

worth selling for 41k cause I cant even use it but I have a gut feeling its rare lmao

[open grove]

Its 41k on the market as well, so yeah worth selling 🙂

[glass atlas]

If the price of the item is the same on flea and same to vendor to traders, it's either not rare or not very good. So sell it if you can't use it!

[placid vessel]

What’s a cheap/easy build to run in with for quests? I’ve been trying to simply extract from woods, past several raids but keep getting one tapped by snipers, so I’m tired of spending 40K just to lose it in the blink of an eye

[open grove]

I always recommend the AKS-74u with pilgrim rail and MRS red dot, but that’s about 40k.

It’s the cheapest way to get a capable gun with a reticle. Anything less and the guns become much less useful.

Pistol running and avoiding gunfights is an option, just make sure to wear armour or you’ll be ‘marked and cursed’, a status that makes all scavs target you

The kedr is the cheapest full auto I would use if you are just running from A to B for a mission, bullets are very cheap too

[placid vessel]

I appreciate it, didn’t expect a quest that is simply to extract to be so difficult lol

[open grove]

Something that may help, try to lay low for the first 5 minutes, most the PVP happens then as people know spawn routes and will wait to see if people run out of them. Then avoid sawmill completely due to high player traffic.

[open grove]

This route is the safest, 2 extracts either side, left most one needs a green flare

[placid vessel]

That seems to be a better path, I got less than 5 hours and I keep running into people with 2,000+ so I should’ve assumed they know spawns

[placid vessel]

And is it beneficial to kill a player that clearly has no gear/is clearly not engaging? I’m having full geared out players hunting me down across the whole map when all I have is a bag on

[undone drum]

people have quests to kill

[glass atlas]

I guess beneficial in the way that theres one less PMC you have to worry about on the map. Even a naked guy with just a pistol can still one tap me later in the raid when I least expect it, so in my eyes, just kill him and dont worry about it. That and what @undone drum said about kill quests. There are some tedious kill quests out there and you're an easy +1 to them.

[placid vessel]

Ah, that should’ve came across more obvious. Thanks

[glass atlas]

No worries.

[uneven umbra]

being a vulture on scav raids has to be the most profitable play style for me so far, what of this is worth keeping

[open grove]

Car battery is needed for a quest

Clock worth selling to therapist
Ulach best helmet, comtac VI best comtacs, thermite you need a few soon, MPVV keep and use for storage (best rig for storage)

Other than the clock, most of that is worth keeping and using

Ar-pepr fits the good scopes and goes on almost everything

[uneven umbra]

well I need to make room so what of this is worth keeping lmao

[midnight ingot]

wat level are you

[uneven umbra]

8

and im in the scav raid end screen so I need to discard most of it

unless you can sell from the scav screen and I didnt know about it

and I need to make room for this bag

so most of it needs to go

[midnight ingot]

like almost all of that ammo i would sell
i would keep m855 and any PS since you're low level and cant buy it yet and the AP rounds on the top row
maybeee keep the .45 AP but its not even enough for more than 1 mag so id just sell it and all the other stuff

[uneven umbra]

can you sell from the scav screen?

[midnight ingot]

anything left on your scav you can click the 'sell all' button and i think it sells it to fence

[uneven umbra]

yeah but all that ammo is in my storage

[midnight ingot]

wouldnt be a huge loss if you discarded some of that ammo lol

[uneven umbra]

and I cant close the scav screen cause thats the loot im trying to keep

[midnight ingot]

especially the very small stacks like the 8 fmj43

the tip i always go by is if the trader sells it, i dont keep it in my stash bc i can just buy it when i need it unless there is a limit per reset

[uneven umbra]

so do you think all of this is discardable or should I try saving any of it

[midnight ingot]

pretty much yeah

[glass atlas]

just based off a glance the red lines is what id get rid of

[uneven umbra]

alr ty 🙏

[glass atlas]

I hate slugs, none of those slugs are good anyway so they're all gone for me.

SP, HP, GT, and FMJ are buns, and only some are good for leg meta which I wouldnt bother using in these calibers.

Quakemaker and RIp are both good leg meta ammos in 9mil and they unlock way later in the game so thats a keep.

PS, PST, and all the AP rounds are either top tier or really good for your level so keep them to use.

SP7 is actually pretty decent since you can buy the Kedr at LL1 traders and if I'm not wrong it has close to 30 pen so it can beat level 3 armour.

[uneven umbra]

I managed to make room for most of it still

[glass atlas]

amazing, also take out the rounds from the 10 round "GEN M3" mags and sell them. 10 round mags serve basically no purpose and you can stack the 10 rounds from each into 1 stack.

If you're really dead on space, do what @midnight ingot said and sell everything you can buy from traders that you may not use in the immediate future since you can just buy it again.

[uneven umbra]

alr thank you both 🙏

[uneven umbra]

im gonna forward this to my private server so I can use it as notes lmao 🙏

[glass atlas]

hahahaha glad to help

[polar dawn]

what containers to prioritize? I already had the junkbox.

[glass atlas]

I'd say depends on what you struggle to keep. At the start of this wipe i had too much ammo and mags so I got those.

[polar dawn]

Gotcha

[vagrant pelican]

yo what are the deafult keybins to look a the extracts?

[uneven umbra]

what does the "ergonomics" stat actually mean

[short bay]

do i need to switch to damn us servers to find some damn usecs for friends from the west?

[short bay]

How fast your gun goes into ads i believe

[short bay]

check in setting? or if you changed them just reset to default. You can save the settings into a separate folder to copy paste back if you need them

[short bay]

If you are a standard account, all of them. Primarily Junkbox or two, medical cases, documents case, bunch of ammo cases, one mag case maybe. Item cases are really good imho.

key case, key chain

[glass atlas]

Double “O”

[vagrant pelican]

thanks

[glass atlas]

no worries

[uneven umbra]

Is paracord worth holding onto at level 8

[glass atlas]

I'd say yeah, who knows if you'll randomly find a red rebel which the paracord works with to give you access to certain extracts.

And to your ergo question, the main benefits of ergo is how long you can aim with your weapon and how fast you can ADS.

[lament cave]

Pretty sure it also means gun handling. Aka weapon following up with your character movement and stuff. Weight has a big impact on ergonomics as well.

[short bay]

if you have the space. Other than that, not really, because it needs to be paired with a REALLY rare item to be able to work as an extract "key". You can easily find tons of paracords all over the maps.

[uneven umbra]

whats the difference between the red cart and the green cart on the weapon build page?

[open grove]

Green means you can buy this from traders, red means you cannot yet

By levelling up your traders, you unlock more stuff to buy from them

[undone drum]

is there any indication for barters?

[open grove]

Green shows barters (annoyingly) but this is only a handful

[undone drum]

i see thanks

[open grove]

Are you aware how to level up your traders?

[uneven umbra]

yes just very slowly

[open grove]

Yeah takes a while but definitely worth it

Prapor, Peacekeeper and Skier are the best ones to get to Lvl 2/3 early

Although all of them have their benefits

This is a spam post- ignore it

[undone drum]

I will modmail real quick

[uneven umbra]

yeah I love following them down the channel list as they post the spam lmao

[manic sable]

do people actually fall for those things? lmao

[uneven umbra]

doubt it but maybe

they get legit accounts somehow

[manic sable]

you can buy hacked discord accounts for very cheap on a variety of websites

[uneven umbra]

fair
