[wintry lily]

the more the raid timer counts down the more the W-keyers kill eachother or extract

[safe sail]

I think a lot of it is knowing spawns and usual routes when your rocking level 3 gear just to avoid the loaded guys

[snow oyster]

might do this. i know the spawns so i know where to look typically. its just once shit starts we get steamrolled so fast. If i COULD BUY PS I'd feel more confident

[wintry lily]

yeah give it a go since LL1 traders is def pain

[rigid stratus]

looking for someone to run duo's I am lvl 17 but This is only my second wipe. I haven't played in two years. Looking for someone with Good experience that can help

[safe sail]

I’d drop you some if I were still on, got an abundance of the stuff when I need 7.62 NATO

[snow oyster]

they fycked ll1 imo. i know nikita wants the game to be hard but considering there will never be a wipe again all new players are perma fucked

[safe sail]

Just time and scavs mate

It’ll get better

[dusty turtle]

could someone help me with the ground zero quests?

[wintry lily]

ehh....there's still a lot of people running around lower level, it's less that, more the fact you can have easy LL2 trader rep from the enhanced editions

I can't say in like, a year from now

[safe sail]

Which one?

Or ones?

[snow oyster]

it seems like the base character will only be for chads and people who already have the experience to get through the bs. brand new players are fucked

[dusty turtle]

literally like the first 2

[snow oyster]

although, i thin kthe seasonals will merge with your perm char??? not sure if thats true

[safe sail]

Is that hard drive and shooting cans?

Mole and shooting cans

[dusty turtle]

access a lab

[wintry lily]

who knows, but yeah def run as many scav runs as possible on maps to get gear and ammo to use

[dusty turtle]

mole and burning rubber

[safe sail]

In terra?

[safe sail]

Baso mole is where you need to run to the very back of terra group building and around a corner it’s like some destroyed elevators and there should be a dead scientist (he’s got the keycard needed for the room upstairs) after that run out that hall and up the stairs on the left and turning right before the desk, should be faced with two doors (one tha you can open one that you can’t) swipe the key card on the door you can’t and the HDD should be on the desk.

For burning rubber the V extract is in the middle of the map essentially but close to terra, bring about 30-40k roubles and it’s just outside terra group building if you check a map, all you need to do is pay and extract and you’ve done two quests

[safe sail]

Maps you can get on google or smth

[dusty turtle]

ok

[safe sail]

Just be careful on that extract because it’s a travelled route

[safe sail]

I don’t get why some people hate on scaving

[wintry lily]

Idk, I do know people don't like ratting, but unfortunately I am a rat

I ratted someone, took their gun and killed reshala with their kit

[safe sail]

Absolute value

[wintry lily]

I sat myself up so reshala would scare them towards me

then I blew them away with piranna rounds

[safe sail]

All flesh no pen

Did you leg Strat?

[wintry lily]

they had no facemask so I just shot them in the face lol

[safe sail]

Fair

[stone vault]

How do you get labs access cards?

[undone drum]

u can find them on scavs and spawn on your scav too

[safe sail]

Or if you have the capabilities to unlock a cult room in marked circles

[wintry lily]

I have not found a lab card on scavs yet

but I've found like 4-5 blank rfids so I can just sell those and buy labs cards

[safe sail]

Beautiful 411k to therapist

[wooden gull]

i would say filling cabinets be best bet if not on ur scav when im around 2.00 fence rep i swear i get one every like 4 scavs

[torn rapids]

i swear this isnt real

ive been looting filing cabinets since i started playing

like over 1000

[stone vault]

For real

[torn rapids]

and ive never seen a labs keycard

[wooden gull]

for real?

that’s kinda L

[cedar vigil]

me and a friend looking for general help with the game and learning some things and questing

[zenith echo]

hey i just was on Laby and there was a super friendly player to help me out there unfortunatly i extracted and did not got his name

[rigid stratus]

looking for someone to run duo's I am lvl 17 but This is only my second wipe. I haven't played in two years. Looking for someone with Good experience that can help

[frank junco]

rip, next time if your close enough to a pmc you can wave and it will give them your name

[subtle junco]

What's the best way to complete the co-op extraction on woods and reserve? I see people looking for duos on pvp lfg, is this efficient?

[blazing elbow]

The best way is to catch a player scav, force him to surrender all weapons, and kidnap him and take him to co-op extract.

[distant fable]

hey, do containers inside locked room have better loot than regular containers? Or should i just look for the loose loot?

[frank junco]

i wanna say the loot pools never change but idk

[compact gate]

any suggestion for looting flash drive? for quest? easiest map or safer one?

[astral glen]

In the front of PC blocks and in drawers

[slender plover]

Jacket pockets often have them too

Interchange oli prolly the best though

Also ground zero computers for a safer scav map

[ancient pilot]

scav interchange at night, i have 10 flash drives in my scav box

Interchange is unbelievable for scav runs right now, i fully upgraded my hideout at trader 1's by just scaving it

[compact gate]

Alright will try this soon

[compact gate]

I will also try this map with scav

Thanks guys

[frank junco]

interchange has so many pcs thats my go to also

[vagrant fjord]

i dont have pve version yet and i just downloaded how screwed am i in a raid?

[ancient pilot]

ya make sure you check tagillas hideout on interchange, i found a few intel there so far

[frank junco]

goodluck but your gunna die alot, thats just how tarky is lol

[vagrant fjord]

i am a gambling man so ill take my chances

[frank junco]

maybe do some ofline raids first to get the hang of things

[frank junco]

my man lol

[vagrant fjord]

i used to play dayz and it made me wanna off myself so i have a depression part down

[frank junco]

o well atleast tarkov is fun

[vagrant fjord]

im just tryna figure things out tbh

[frank junco]

you do the tutorial yet? its shows you like the basic basics

[vagrant fjord]

yes sir

[frank junco]

interchange time then

[vagrant fjord]

wym

[frank junco]

or talk to traders if you can

[vagrant fjord]

okay

[compact gate]

Welcome to tarkov

[peak vortex]

does anyone have a key guide? im really struggling with which keys i should keep and which to get rid of

[blazing elbow]

Check the Tarkov wiki. Search for any key there, then at the bottom it will have a list of all the keys for all the maps.

[empty gull]

what in the fucking world could a scav be wearing that absorbed 500 damage XD

[clever kernel]

For getting the Savior ending you have to do the BTR quest "choose your friends wisely" or "the price of independence" Does it matter what one you do to get the ending or is it choice?

[placid quest]

Im prettybsure side quests dont affect your ending outcome

but for the story you need to gain Rep with BTR driver. So if the quest makes you lose rep with the driver I wouldnt do it

[clever kernel]

hmmm ok thank you!

[torn rapids]

Just don't side with Skier

Do BTR guys quests

[slender plover]

Btr on woods sucks imo

If you have outskirts as your exit

[spring sand]

anyone know whats the fastest way to lvl i have been playing for a few weeks and am barely lvl 16 am i doing something wrong

[frank junco]

tasks

[spring sand]

those are hard still cant find the two guns on ground zero lol

[frank junco]

oof lol

[spring sand]

so no other way?

[limber zinc]

Look it up on YT or the wiki

[frank junco]

arena gives a shit ton of xp

[spring sand]

arena xp is linked to normal pvp?

[limber zinc]

Arena if u have it, the Christmas quests give like 30k xp each

[spring sand]

i hate all maps but customs ;p;

[limber zinc]

Yes it is.

[spring sand]

oooooooh maybe i need to play that if i have edge of darkness does that unlock arena?

[limber zinc]

Yes

[spring sand]

thank you

[oak wolf]

I cannot for the life of me kill two of kabans guard on streets for create distraction PT 2

[open bronze]

Thank you! Found the Black labs card in Green room so tomorrow should be fun!!\

[open bronze]

mapgenie or the fandom open on another monitor

Ive made it a habit to have
Quests on the wiki
Mapgenie
EFT Ammo chart
Goons Tracker for PVE

all open when im gaming

And for whoever didnt know: just take the car extracts on each map that allows them about 6-7 times each and that an easy 3.2-3.4 scav rep.

[wintry lily]

Blew through all my money doing test drive part 1 and setup, now I'm poor again, best way to make money as solo with tier 3 armor at best?

I could run customs scavving but feel like there's better maps

[frank junco]

interchange scav into tagillas hiding spot is insane

[spring sand]

i was poor once than i just bring in a pm use directors office key plus ressala's bunk house key its working for me

[open bronze]

Interchange

Hit both scav camps

[wintry lily]

Gotcha, does he still aggro you if you're scav?

[open bronze]

and the power station

for a safer route

[frank junco]

ya unless you have max rep

[wintry lily]

Like I can prob kill him as a scav if need be, just need to know if he aggros lel

Ah gotcha

I'll transit farm scav rep and then I'll farm interchange

[open bronze]

Interchange chrsitmas tree area is crazy too. you can find like 3 salads , each worth 99,000

pickles, streamer items

[wintry lily]

Salads are worth 100k?

[open bronze]

figurines

[frank junco]

yup lol

[wintry lily]

What, which trader buys them for that much?

[open bronze]

yeah i have made like 4 mil off pickles and salad alone.....

[open bronze]

therapist

[wintry lily]

I will keep that in mind

[open bronze]

the tree cleaner in a green bottle

50k

pickles 50k

ornaments are like 8-9k for red and white and then purples are 12k

[hard osprey]

does anyones scav here have a kotton beanie i can have?

[worldly pawn]

finished the praport quest to kill 30 targets -> went into woods next raid and the btr driver doesnt give me the quest to turn in the tank battery?

hello, new player here, is it possible to set up a controller for this game?

[frank junco]

im sure theres some kind of software that you could make a controller work, but there are so many keybinds there is no way you would be able to use every function

like just a few that would be an issue is variable lean/zoom/crouch

[safe elk]

I’ll tell you if you stop tryna copy the goat

[tidal lagoon]

might be better of not playing than using a controller ngl

[wary timber]

Whats the tactic to this?

[frank junco]

ks 23 with flash rounds

im on that one too if you wanna do it together

[weary meteor]

Flashbanging timmys in factory also does the trick

[frank junco]

ya but i wanna use these lol

[weary meteor]

Having a friend with flash rounds will also work

[unique mantle]

2 zvezda, 2 shrap 10

[tidal lagoon]

^^ ks23 def the play, although u could also use tripwires with flashbangs and vog25s next to eachother so they get flashed and then instantly blown up, takes longer tho

[frank junco]

thats evil and i love it

[tidal lagoon]

its quite funny, also gets ur grenadier kills if needed

[unique mantle]

if you use flash nades use the american one, it explodes faster

[undone drum]

wow flashbangs have just 1,5 s delay

[wary timber]

Well, looks like i have some grinding to do

[frank junco]

you can craft them before you can buy them

[worldly pawn]

that shit is locked behind a shitty ass quest, but you can craft them at the workbench

[wary timber]

yessirs

Little tip for Tarkov Shooter quests- This iron sight is very cheap and available at mechanic LL2 for the MXLR, great for the iron sight bolty kills and bolt kills under 25m

I had the same problem and worry like ages ago

[inland shoal]

lol is this normal i was on a scav run and i ran across like 10+ scav in the same area

[somber wyvern]

is there any good recommendations for something to learn building guns/ using attachments in general

[open grove]

Do you have the workbench built?

Once built, you gain access to the weapon modificaiton view, using it helps massively with learning whats possible when building weapons

This view

[somber wyvern]

i must find the multi tool first

[open grove]

You have to buy that

[somber wyvern]

oh

then i will buy that

[open grove]

Mechanic LL1

[somber wyvern]

youre goated for that thank you

[open grove]

once made, you will now have access to the 2 new following areas:

• Modding
• Edit Build

Weapon modding uses the attachments you currently have

Edit build shows every attachment in the game, and shows if you have the ability to buy them yet also

When building a gun, you can use Edit build, add the attachments you want (only add those with a green mark as these are the ones you have unlocked from your traders), then you can assemble the weapon to buy all attachmnets in one go

Green = Unlocked from trader
Red = Not unlocked

You can still buy red ones from the flea, just usually (not always) more expensive and not worth the cost

[undone drum]

the ammont of effort u put in those replies, respectable

[fiery moat]

also when on the buying section, make sure to remove the traders tag from the tags on top, if you dont remove that, it only shows the options from traders themselves, but if you remove that tag, you see the cheapest option that u can buy, mostly from players but it can still show traders if players dont sell it for any cheaper than that

[open grove]

Thank you sir

[faint kayak]

Oh my gawhd please turn up your gamme in gpu settings u cant see shit also yes normal, the game spawns in large gangs of scavs that wander together right toward the last 5 mins of a match, as a crescendo.

[shadow ocean]

hello i didnt activate the arena trial and i didnt know there was one until after i finished a couple of ref tasks and way i can still get the trial ?

[inland shoal]

ooo thanks for the gamma tip

[faint kayak]

Got lots of em u want em?

[inland shoal]

im good XD

[minor crescent]

why i cant buy?

i do have the rubles

but i cant

and it does this with every trader

[bold kernel]

Look at the red text

Each item has its own max quantity you can buy before they "sell out"

[minor crescent]

it says i bought 0

I have to transit from Factory to Labs to continue the Tour quest. But transitioning is taking like 13+ minutes. I closed the game since it was too much to wait.
any suggestions to lower the transitioning time? or I just leave the game there loading and it will transit even if it takes too much loading time?

[minor crescent]

oh thanks

I seriously need help finding an intelligence folder, I've been hitting Tagilla's hideout / BEAR camp for the last 5 days, I've found 2 LEDX's and 2 graphics cards etc, but no intelligence folders.....

[safe elk]

You’re hitting the right places, just keep trying

[twin hound]

customs building in front of the stronghold and near the dead body with the unknown key

[split flax]

warehouse 17 ?

[twin hound]

this one. on the offices in the second floor
https://imgur.com/a/ngn2IIS

[torn rapids]

Tagilla hideout is 100% spawn so

[wary timber]

Tagillas hideout has 3 spawns and guranteed 1 every raid, be there first and look at the spawns

[torn rapids]

if you're on a pmc

just hit that

[split flax]

I've been there first a few times, I never find one ? I must be missing a spot then ?

[torn rapids]

Check the boxes

[split flax]

I do, I walked round the whole place a few times and never find it ? =/

[twin hound]

check the customs crack house as i said

i found all my intelligence there. 10+ and counting

only this wipe

[valid crest]

LF 1 more guy to regularly raid with. I'm in my 30's and on North America servers. I dont like immature people that blame their deaths on their team and dont have clear comms. Just looking for a chill person to task with

[split flax]

I really don't know customs that well, and never even looted there 😒

Also what's happening with the christmas tree ?

[twin hound]

it usually spawns there. 2nd floor on the offices. i would give it a try

crackhouse. it is tagged on the map

[split flax]

oooh, thank you, I will try that then ^^

[rustic void]

What is the earliest gun you can use that one shots thorax lvl 5 plate?

[torn rapids]

You're looking for ammo, not a particular gun

Ammo pens armour, not a gun

[shrewd python]

.338 FMJ has 47 pen, so it has a chance to one shot through t5
after that it would be 50 BMG m33 or SLAP

[rustic void]

Yes, but gun shoots specific ammo
And you cannot get any gun
So I am looking for a gun 🙂

[shrewd python]

all of which are very late level

[torn rapids]

Probably BP if you kill a boss

So any russian gun

[shrewd python]

BP definitely can't 1 tap chest through t5

[rustic void]

Which bp though

[astral glen]

If you can’t get the gun yet you can’t get the ammo

[rustic void]

It does not have 85 hp dmg

[shrewd python]

buddy I gave you the answer

[torn rapids]

Oh I didn't see her said one tap, thought he just said pen

[rustic void]

I can’t buy mdr 762x51
Yet I can get ammo and guns in this caliber

[torn rapids]

Cakes gave a much detailed answer

why you are just blanking it 😭

[astral glen]

There is no ammunition in that calibre that will one shot a thorax through class 5 armour, and you just explained my point without realising it, even though you can buy 7.62x51mm weapons, you can’t buy the high tier ammunition

[shrewd python]

I mean that definitely wasn't your point
"f you can’t get the gun yet you can’t get the ammo" that statement is just wrong

[astral glen]

If you’re wanting something that will one tap you’re looking at like .338 and 9.3x64 and .50 BMG

You can’t access the ammunition

[shrewd python]

Oh yea I forgot about 9,3
7n33 will work too

[rustic void]

Noice buddy

Seems like the earliest is ref with .338 fmj and mk-18

Available at lvl 35 with no quests required

[fresh coyote]

hey whats the best way to get reacources and money needed to upgrade stash or is the better ways to store stuff i always seem to never have any storage

[minor crescent]

dayum 7.62 uzi😔

[torn rapids]

[weary sky]

i hate AI

[minor crescent]

the what?

[weary sky]

AI

[minor crescent]

ah ok

[tiny orbit]

AI is the future

[minor crescent]

😔

[weary sky]

not in my opinion

a future with AI is tarded and stupid

where the general population is out of work and its like an ultra mega capitalist society like cyberpunk

[tiny orbit]

First iteration of revolutions was always wonky. They improve 1000 fold

[weary sky]

i dont trust AI or this "revolution" your talking about

[tiny orbit]

Just look at it like the first industrial machines. Big, dangerous and slow. Or cars. Same thing

[weary sky]

its not the same as machines

its evil lol

[tiny orbit]

People said the same about machines

[weary sky]

this is different to mechanical machines

[astral glen]

Yeah people literally said computers are the devil incarnate

[weary sky]

i dont think im crazy for being sceptical about AI

especially when everything its shooting out right now is stupid and immoral

[tiny orbit]

You can waste your time hating it, or learn it and get on top

Its stupid now. But improving rapidly

[astral glen]

I don’t think you’re crazy for being skeptical but refusing to understand the positive aspects to it and just dismissing it is a little narrow minded

It has pros and cons

[weary sky]

your sounding like a clanker yourself with a comma and big words

[weary sky]

i understand where its "Good" but the world was better off without it in my opinion

even if people had to put a little more effort in

[rustic void]

Learn 1 map
If you can run streets - streets is good
Reserve is good too
Dorms on customs is nice
Run a few rooms for loot with cheap kits
And extract
No fighting no questing

If you are the best shooter in the world - labs
But my experience in labs is - you die before even seeing the enemy

[gaunt parrot]

A machine is limited by it's cogs and gears. A LLM / AI is limited by it's code.

[open grove]

They can be used to barter for good items, also dogtags of the opposite faction can be used in your Hall of Fame to increase Combat XP, higher level dogtag of opposite faction = more %

it wont save ur progress and u wont have ai pmcs but itll allow u to get a feel around the maps scavs and bosses before u commit ur loot to pvp

[glass atlas]

I'd say try PVP with an experienced friend first and if you feel like you could use some experience away from other players first then go for PVE, who knows, you may even find PVE more fun and stick with that. Main benefit of PVE is you get the feel the progression, doing the early tasks etc. Offline raids only help you get familiar with a map and shooting AI.

[cloud basin]

why are some exfils highlighted when i spawn in?

scav house is correctly highlighted since i was extracting there when i took the ss but why is eastern rocks highlighted

i spawned near the "boat" scav exfil so i wasnt anywhere near that place

[glass atlas]

could be visual bug, I believe the extract lights up green if someone is taking the car extract or if you found the code for a hidden extract.

[cloud basin]

idk about those since eastern was highlighted like when i spawned in, i didnt even get to move, and ive had 2 or more highlighted before and id imagine if it was car itd be 1

idk

1.0 ready or sum ig

[glass atlas]

its prolly just a visual bug, doesnt affect gameplay at all.

[cloud basin]

yea ik ik i was moreso pursuing this out of curiosity, not cos it ruins my gameplay or anything

[twilit python]

okay i guess fuck my scav run, game wont even let me in the raid because it keeps crashing

no way!!! imagine that!!

[thorny whale]

do i lose my insured weapon if a scav picks it up?

[hidden seal]

yes

[thorny whale]

damn alright

[oblique otter]

i got this loot from a raid i dnt know what to sell or not, someone can help¿

like these weapons should i keep it or sell it?

[hidden seal]

the damaged ones sell

weapons under 90 are too feeble and unreliable

[oblique otter]

even if i can repair it, it isnt worth¿

[hidden seal]

that M1A you cannto repair above 90

[oblique otter]

true

[hidden seal]

others is a matter of taste

I like the auto shotgun

[oblique otter]

then i sell it to mechanic

thanks a lot

[glass atlas]

let me look

[tawdry mauve]

sell it all to fence

[oblique otter]

why fence? mechanic give me double that fence could

[hidden seal]

he is trolling you

[torn rapids]

ref lvl 4 gives u more money

[vague orchid]

gluhar can spawn in the dome, damn

[manic sable]

he can??

[vague orchid]

yep just killed him there

[hidden seal]

well he can pursue someone as well

[coral gale]

just got the game, and im so confused. could someone help me get on the right path? thanks

[hidden seal]

first things first... find how to play in practice mode (next next instead of ready) and play a lot of practice rusn before you try for real

you need to know the map.. if you cannot fidn the extracts you will die and get frustrated

after you know that.. play some scav runs then try with a PMC do the tour quests to unlock more maps and traders

[sharp plume]

use the maps on the wiki

[coral gale]

ok thank you i already have done 2 scav runs but i was basically just running around and then getting shot.

[hidden seal]

you need to locate extract points.. before that is not worth to try a true raid

[flat osprey]

im curious, what causes a player to be marked as a "booster" or someone who drops stuff for other people? my friend dropped me a few kits in pve when i was starting, i did it a few times as well ngl (to my friend who also just started playing after me) and was just wondering what it does

also what is the real effect of it

[astral glen]

if that information were public people would just boost people below that line to avoid punishment

[flat osprey]

true, do you know what that tag actually does to ur acct?

and if that tag would transfer to pvp if i chose to play it at some point

[astral glen]

you get temporarily banned from the game, and potentially permanently banned

[reef chasm]

is there a way for me to see the Raptor's distance while using the scope? Is it because of the scope mount?

[astral glen]

free look and look up

[reef chasm]

sweet, that's also helpful. but I remember seeing some clips that they are able to aim and see raptor at the same time without freelooking. I wonder how

[astral glen]

Different mount and scope

Probably different gun too

[reef chasm]

alright then...

[torn rapids]

Pretty sure they put the raptor at the end of the barrel

if you have a screenshot of it, share

[reef chasm]

It looks like this. Without using the free look button

the build looks like this btw

they seem to be able to adjust the distance bwteen their eye and the scope. but i don't know how

and this is the close version

How is this achieved… or is this a bug?

i wonder...

[sinful iron]

Hey guys I was sneaking around near dorms waiting for all the geared players to kill each other since I need to complete this golden zippo quest, when a sound queue played and it scared the absolute shit out of me. (Maybe like a deep violin or horn sound) Does anyone know what that was?

[flat osprey]

could've been daily tasks failing

[flat osprey]

this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaaP2uZlN5U

[sinful iron]

Nah I know that is the daily quests resetting

This was a deep, quick tone

I double checked to make sure I didn't have a song playing

[flat osprey]

rep got lowered

i think its basically like if ur a good player in nikitas eyes, you get a good sound effect, and there is the opposite

[sinful iron]

what the

sorry for not rushing into dorms with my 19 pen ammo nikita

[flat osprey]

yea i think camping counts as bad rep or somtin

[narrow topaz]

It just means Parmesan is more likely to target you on woods, PMC karma was supposed to be more fleshed out but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[flat osprey]

more than just woods, its lighthouse, customs at least too

[sinful iron]

yeah I was on customs

[narrow topaz]

I thought he only spawned on woods, mb

[flat osprey]

nah a boss named partizan can spawn on those maps

[sinful iron]

Ah ok. As long as its nothing super negative I guess its fine lol

I just looked it up, apparently its because I was in a bush. If I wasnt in a bush it wouldve been fine

[limber trail]

your pmc reputation is a hidden stat, theres not really a way to see what it is or means but it affects stuff to do with partisan as mentioned, you can also gain back positive rep by killing pmcs in bushes or pmcs who have team killed a squad member, its a birds chirping sorta sound effect when you gain positive rep

its a confusing system icl

[narrow topaz]

Can anyone help me plant the poster on Customs for Easy Money Part 1? Every time I try I get absolutely blasted by PMCs or Rashalla

[dapper epoch]

Anyone need help with labs? Ive found 2 gpsa and MCC controllers for people today

[limber trail]

ive played labs once in 3 wipes lmfao

[dapper epoch]

It's been juicy ive been pulling like 4m a raid

[limber trail]

might need to learn it damn

[flat osprey]

not too difficult, youll get it after like 40 runs

😂

[limber trail]

lmao

someone wanna run shoreline? im trying to do punisher part 1 but i dont know the map very well and im kinda getting dookied

[reef chasm]

If I use a bullet that deals 145+ damage against an unarmored SCAV. Will I be able to penetrate both his arm (60HP) and thorax(85HP) and one shot him?

[limber trail]

if you hit a scav with a round that does 145 hes cooked bro

[reef chasm]

Generally speaking if I shoot at someone it’s very likely to hit their arm first and thorax second. So I’m looking for a damage thread hold that consistently one tap an unarmored target

[dapper epoch]

Not all damage is retains when a bullet pens something

[reef chasm]

Even body parts? I know there’s a damage drop when a bullet hits armor

[dapper epoch]

Pretty sure

[reef chasm]

Alright then.

[empty gull]

aww fucking shit, i had like few good raids on woods and it ended by i think a cheater shit

such a weird fucking feeling cuz this wipe is suprisingly playable in terms of weird deaths

[sinful iron]

i just got killed by an AI on reserve while I was on my scav. Name was just "radar". Was this a boss or something? I didn't shoot anyone

I assumed it was Glukhar, but I died too fast and it did not say his name

[ivory trench]

how long do i need to wait for pmcs to be gone on customs

to finish this damn fucking quest

in peace

[wintry lily]

I wish ground zero didn't have the seperating queues

[ivory trench]

pre sure they took that out

[frank junco]

Sound like a raider

[sinful iron]

welp, learned something new today. no idea this existed https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Scav_Raiders

[frank junco]

They hang out down by the d2 switch. And by the bunkers near the train

They are rarely at the train tho

[frank junco]

You dont lose rep if you kill one as a scav either

[sinful iron]

got it, thanks!

[torn rapids]

Probably a Raider

[ivory trench]

how do i unlock jaegar?

[subtle junco]

Mechanic gives you a quest called introduction when you accept the quest gunsmith part 1

You have go into a woods raid where you can pick up jaeger's message near the crashed plane area. You also have to survive and extract in order to turn in the message to mechanic.

[ivory trench]

okayy thanks

[flat osprey]

any ideas on getting the DRD armor? ive done like 35 factory runs, looted about 150 scavs, nothing

[narrow topaz]

Just gotta keep trying, or luck out with a cultist circle

That's probably not what you want to hear, try scaving onto Customs/Factory, you'll eventually find a dead scav with the armor

[slender plover]

I feel like there should just be a channel called I’m lost in woods

[narrow topaz]

Hard agree

[flat osprey]

yea i lucked out getting 2 masks from cultist circle. i even loaded into a scav raid with the fucking drd but its not found in raid

its the last damn thing i need

[frank junco]

whar?

[flat osprey]

glitch

[frank junco]

gimmie a scav with NOTHIN

[flat osprey]

still glitch

youll have stuff

[frank junco]

never seen that one before lol

[flat osprey]

happened to me

[ivory trench]

god i fucking hate this game, i want to stop playing it but i cant

[frank junco]

what happend?

[ivory trench]

just keep fucking dying to 1500+ hour players its really fucking annoying atp, sucha big skill issue

[frank junco]

nope lmao

[frank junco]

damn brother, need help?

[ivory trench]

its ookay, ill figure it out just fucking stupid the only ammo options to me are things that have dog shit pen against armor lvl 2+

its liike this game hates new players lmaoo

[frank junco]

weirdest scav run of my life, spawned with nothing at all, then helped a lost pmc to exit lol

[ivory trench]

why are there so many fucking chad players in customs? like do you people ever go outside

[flat osprey]

just become the ghost of reserve

[prime sapphire]

Leg meta is always viable.

Or hit heads.

Leg meta has always clapped chads. Altyn Zobralo = No problem vs my 0 pen ammo.

[blazing elbow]

Sounds like a really fun game!

One day we'll have leg covers.

[frank junco]

[worldly pawn]

went to lightkeeper to collect the last evidence for batya (The folder on the red thing)
Read it and extracted but the quest didnt advance and I didnt get the achievement?

Is it a bug?

[blazing elbow]

Are you a rat, or do rats give you blues?

[blazing elbow]

Did you try restarting the game? A lot of quests and hideout stuff gets bugged but immediately gets fixed with a restart.

[frank junco]

both lol, i only rat on reserve tho

[blazing elbow]

ARE YOU A D2 RAT?

[frank junco]

nah i sit in the rocks

[blazing elbow]

I respect that.

[worldly pawn]

Ill try it rn.
I was able to turn it into kerman so i was confused by that part.

[blazing elbow]

What servers do you play on?

[frank junco]

anything NA

[flat osprey]

is it possible drd armor does not spawn on factory

cause i swear ive killed more scavs than i can count

more runs than my legs can endure

and nada no drd man. last thing for kappa

[blazing elbow]

It can spawn anywhere on a scav and on your scav. It's not common though. You could try asking people to see if their player scav loadout has one.

[flat osprey]

no i got it on my scav man

[flat osprey]

it wasnt found in raid

when i tried to extract with the one i was given

[brisk wharf]

did you get run through?

[flat osprey]

oh shit i mightve

now i will suffer for it

[brisk wharf]

lemme guess, factory fast rush to exit?

[flat osprey]

😭

🎯

[rigid stratus]

https://medal.tv/games/escape-from-tarkov/clips/lXINSC0QbqJF74ofJ?invite=cr-MSx1MU4sNDY0NTI3Nzkx Wow

[brisk wharf]

well sometimes scav runs on factory starts with when the initial raid started less than 7 mins

[flat osprey]

yall know if it counts for greater than -.03 for killing a scav as a scav?

[flat osprey]

pve, i get full time on the raids. figure ill go pvp after

(when im not trash)

[brisk wharf]

oof

[flat osprey]

at higher fence rep is what i meant here

[brisk wharf]

lemme check if my pve scav has drd

[flat osprey]

ty id appreciate it

[frank junco]

if you are over 6 rep killing a scav puts you just under 6

[flat osprey]

at 4.5 ish rn, dont know if it scales down like the v-ex boost does

the amount it takes away* ik at like 1 it took .03 off my scav rep

[blazing elbow]

It's -0.03 when you're below 6 reputation.

[flat osprey]

ah ty

[cursive prawn]

it’s not exactly that. if you kill a player scav while below 6.0 rep, you lose 0.1. if you kill an ai scav while below 6.0 rep, you lose around 0.03–0.05.

but once you’re above 6.0 rep, it gets more complicated. from 6.0 to 8.0, scav rep loss is calculated as if you’re at exactly 6.0. so if you’re at 7.2 scav rep and you kill a player scav, you’ll still lose 0.1 rep, which would drop you to 5.90.

if you’re above 8.0, there’s an additional penalty of -2.0. for example, if you’re at 10.0 scav rep and kill a player scav, you’d drop all the way down to 7.90.

[slender plover]

Can anyone help me with signal part 1 and the dvl stash quest on shoreline

[glass atlas]

what servers do you play on

[blazing elbow]

He was just asking for the sole reason of killing scavs to get the DRD armor, so we gave the short answer, so he doesn't have to worry.

[edgy birch]

Im gonna try to ask it here, I am not a newbie but i really dont like the maps streets or lighthouse and I have the beginnersquests on those maps. I dont know the maps and I avoid pvp.. but is there an experienced player willing to help me? I am lvl 27 EU

[placid quest]

same as any other map. know spawns, Hotspots and have map knowledge

[wooden gull]

hop on streets ppl

est is 6 mins ugh

[hidden seal]

the most valuable stores are dangerous... imho one of the best tools is leave scavs alive and pay attention if they shout but I am just a bad player and that is my take on how I do there.

[slender plover]

All g thx

[glass atlas]

like what they’ve said. knowing which stores are hotspots and how long into the raid they’ll be there, and common rat spots are just things to know. Of course if someone’s just sitting in a random store actually ratting then that’s too bad, and you gotta just gear up and go next.

[frigid finch]

did they nerf loose loot?

[undone drum]

on what map? in comparison to what time?

[frigid finch]

labs feels empty compared to earlier in the wipe

[undone drum]

there is a rumour, that the longer a wipe progresses, the worse the loot gets

[undone drum]

is it like that couple days in a row not depended on the time of the day?

or just one time observation

[frigid finch]

last 3 days...ive been running labs and the loot has been trash

[strong garnet]

where can i find half masks? they used to be so much easier to find

[frank junco]

anywhere with a bunch of dead scavs

(scav factory)

[strong garnet]

they all seem to have those stupid masks on atm, is it because the xmas events on?

[frank junco]

ya i forgot the event deff makes it harder

i have this since yesterday i cannot buy items from traders i restarted and checked folders still same problem anyone know how to fix this?

[rocky zealot]

Anyone have a solid spot for drill spawns? Been held up by not finding any

[weary meteor]

Streets

[frank junco]

reserve is great for loose loot tool spawns

[rocky zealot]

I guess I'll stop being a bum and get back into running streets and reserve...

[hidden seal]

my take is interchange scav camp far west. Behind the fuel truck there are wooden crated int he broken one and behind the other to its left

It is a spot where only tools spawn so have good chance

also on the secodn medical tent behidnthat area there is a shelve that agian only tools spawn

[glass atlas]

another one is the expansion north east on shoreline, so many tool spawns

[young sorrel]

Hello, I’m currently at the furthest point I’ve ever gotten in the game, and I’m a bit lost on what to do. I’m doing the task “Getting Acquainted”, and I need to find the V3 Flash Drive to craft the DSP thingy. I’m using the wiki, and checking all the spawn locations at Water Treatment Plant but it just isn’t spawning. I’ve checked thoroughly, doing multiple laps of the WTP and triple checking all the spawns, but it hasn’t spawned in the last 3 raids I’ve done. Is the wiki wrong? Or is the quest bugged?

[worldly pawn]

I would double check you are actually checking where it spawns at each of the locations (and make sure you have the keys for the 2 spawns that require them).

It should be spawning 100% of the time and I dont think there are any known bugs for it not spawning at all

[rocky zealot]

I like shoreline so Ill give this a few tries. I can pickup a few overseer keys this way as well. This first trip i found 2 motors and trolled with 4 hand drills.

[glass atlas]

great, goodluck

[arctic token]

has anyone here completed the game in pve?

[young sorrel]

I’ll give it another spin tomorrow, I was a bit tired but fuck man I swear I checked everywhere multiple times and I was triple checking that the spots matched the wiki 😂

[unique mantle]

when i was doing it i though i checked everywhere but i checked the 20th spawn in the wrong white shack, make sure you check the correct spots

there were only 3 min left so i did not had the time to get it

can cultist circle give streamer items for colletor quest with 6h timer? (max hideout)

[manic sable]

I think so

[urban cloud]

I have a 9800x3d, 5070ti, all drivers are up to date, I have ran an integrity check, cleared cache and deleted logs, yet my game crashes mid raid 1/4-5 raids

anybody have any tips? my GPU doesnt run past 26%

[real reef]

anyone knows, where i can find electric drills? ive been spamming ground zero as scav and play woods and customs. ive been looking for it so long

[vital trench]

thx, I'm hopeful because I have max hideout, only missing 3 items and the only active quest that needs fir items is collector.

"When the value of a sacrifice is ₽400,000 or more, there is a 25% chance to receive items needed for active quests and unfinished Hideout modules. If the chance is triggered, the sacrifice will take 6 hours. If not, it will be 14 hours."

From wiki, so I think I'll get kappa today

[frank junco]

what are you missing?

[vital trench]

bake ez, nut sack balaclava and john b

[frank junco]

damn people are always stuck on the bake ez and nut sack. seems those are the most rare

[vital trench]

I had one, and kept inside my docs case by mistake and brought it into a raid

[hushed plinth]

So what am I missing here? I extracted from that raid and have gone back and walked all around that building

[cursive prawn]

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

you’ve most likely not grabbed the newspaper or letter in anastasia’s apartment in streets

[hushed plinth]

I did at the time. Maybe it didn't move it out like it does with most of the main story intel. idk, think I died to boss raid after that.

[cursive prawn]

did you inspect and read them

[hushed plinth]

It definitely didn;t have a tick mark in raid when I was there and those notes weren't

pretty sure I read those in raid when I picked them up

[cursive prawn]

always ALWAYS read notes right after they’re picked up. if you die it can bug the whole quest.

[hushed plinth]

It has "updated" since going back again. notes at the bottom are inspectable but no read option. I definitely read it in raid when first picked up

[cursive prawn]

investigate the whole inside area and then leave, see what happened

[hushed plinth]

That's all the last two trips have been. HAven't found anything to interact with inside or at out the door. Nothing pings inside or in the area around.

Probably just bugged and I'm fucked

hello guys, where can i find a good Goon tracker for PVE?

[covert obsidian]

hello, when i move around in game, namely when sprinting or moving my mouse fast, mmy health HUD artifacts around and gets double vision. I used to play a couple years ago and never saw this, would this be an in game setting - or a monitor issue? or some driver issue?

[minor crescent]

yo a guy 1 tapped me in head,eyes

while i was running

and he was too

is that cheating or just luck?

it took him 1 hit to hit me there

[glass atlas]

or skill. if you are running in a straight line, most experienced players can just lead their shot and 1 tap you reliably under like 150 meters. If you were running straight at him (likely since he hit your eyes) its even easier. getting 1 tapped really doesn't tell you if someone is cheating.

[glass atlas]

okay 150 might be a stretch, but personally, i can hit a headshot 1 tap on someone running in a straight line pretty reliably anywhere under 100 meters

[cloud basin]

did christmas tree leave?

[glass atlas]

could be an external setting using frame generation like DLSS or FSR. check your nvidia control panel or amd control panel, and disable those there, then use the setting in game if you want to use dlss or fsr.

[glass atlas]

they said it'd be removed on the 19th

[cloud basin]

yh ik but it wasnt

and theres an update now

[glass atlas]

if the christmas tree isn't in your hideout, its safe to say they finally removed it

[hidden seal]

well they said it would be there up to 19th... they never said it would disapear on 20th 😛

everything else looks fine except for the health bar hud and sometimes some reticles on reflex sight

the same thing doesnt happen in arena. maybe because in arena i have moncrhome hp? sike it is still working fine w colors

Hello, sorry i'm still a beginner. i want to ask, what is the keybind for interacting when inside a BTR vehicle? There are two options: exit or talk to the driver. I've tried using the mouse wheel, but it doesn't work.

[cloud basin]

should be mouse scroll

i think u should be able to use up/down arrows too

[warped bison]

im almost done with all quest items for Kappa, is there a list with valueable items for tradeups? im kinda new 500h and im hoarder, so i kinda wanna clean up ym 7 scav boxes and get rid of most of the useless stuff, is there a list with items i need to keep for rly good trades / high value on Flea? thanks 🙂 ( fully upgraded hideout)

[glass atlas]

yea i heard something about certain sights like the sro having ghosting issues, but those were due to frame gen. sadly, i cant suggest anything further since i dont use nvidia and i havent run into the issue. best of luck!

[desert stratus]

looking for a duo or trio for labrynth, first time there

[true sand]

ight bro i gotchu rn im assume ur below level 15 so u cant do anything else, when u hit level 15 u get a task from prapor and mechanic to use the btr, then after u can talk to the btr guy and ask for cover fire, drive somewhere and ask for things to be put into ur stash, so before that quest u can do anything with the btr driver

[twilit python]

do the fireworks still work?

[bold kernel]

yes

[twilit python]

oh they do?

like i can still get the drop from them?

[vocal mist]

really? They shouldn't after today's tech update with other christmas stuff going away

[bold kernel]

when is update?

I heard that there's a risk lightkeeper puts stuff in your special inventory slots and that can potentialy override the item in it (including the dongle).
What slot do I put my dongle in to keep it safest?

[sinful kernel]

Which map is better to learn Shoreline, Reserve, or streets?

I know customs, interchange, factory like the back of my hand now at this point. This is my first time in 12 wips were i feel the need to learn one of this

[undone drum]

u just won´t be able to buy the amulet for example

[unkempt egret]

Heard the warning for one of the story quests but it didn't specify which slot was endangered, can't put it anywhere else so i'd like to know if I best put it in first second or third slot for safety's sake.
Also Lightkeeper won't open his door for me? Trying to bring him his blue folders.
Edit: claymore exploded on way out of the island?

[sinful kernel]

?

[undone drum]

shoreline

[sinful kernel]

Thanks

[mossy ravine]

bro did 0 quests for 12 wipes

[sinful kernel]

No just never hit more then level 30. I got busy with life

[undone drum]

everyone plays the game how they like

[mossy ravine]

no way man

[ripe temple]

How to quickly drop stuff?

[undone drum]

del key

[crimson thicket]

Honestly just do quests. Peacekeeper is going to send you to shoreline on repeat so I'd learn that first. Reserve is my least favorite map tbh and there's not too many quests there, streets is good for loot but also runs like ass

[sinful kernel]

Thanks!

[fiery moat]

yo dudes i got 2 extra tank batteries on top of the one i had before(cultist circle) do i really need 3 of them or should i craft one of them into 5 car batteries(i need 2/4 car batteries for that one therapist quest)

[undone drum]

google
tarkov wiki tank battery
to see what quests and hideout stations u need it for and how much

[twilit python]

@undone drum btw i did all the stuff you said and the game is still ass

like right now it wont even let me sell the shit from a scav run

it jsut fucking loads forever

[undone drum]

#community-support

i don´t even know what your problem is

[twilit python]

you tried helping me a little ago with the game crashing and stuff

[undone drum]

and what did i suggested?

[twilit python]

i think it was a link with a bunch of stuff to do, and you said to change server reign and stuff

[undone drum]

🤷

[ivory trench]

i killed a boss on customs, what should i do with their gun?

sell it?

[calm verge]

use it

[fiery moat]

that entirely depends on u though

you can use it if you like or sell it

[ivory trench]

well i keep dying to 1500hr+ players so i dont think my gun really matters atp

[fiery moat]

is it one of the goons or partizan or reshala

[ivory trench]

partizan

[fiery moat]

is it the ak with grenade launcher? then sell

[ivory trench]

yeah

okay thanks

[fiery moat]

yea thats the only boss gun u should not be using, that has literally 0 ergo, and im not joking it says 0

[ivory trench]

yeah i figured, this boss died really easily

[fiery moat]

partizan is not that much of a challenge bc he doesnt have armor or guards, he just has some good ammo sometimes

[dusty turtle]

could someone help me with my stash like what to keep and what to sell my stash is full

[fiery moat]

well it always matters, its also my first wipe and i kept dying to 3000+ hr players and still do but after a while i just figured out the gameplay and the game feels so fair rn for me

[fiery moat]

screenshot it here

and ur level, and ur hideout status if u can, and also some quest tab

cuz every item has a use and cannot really say "sell" or "keep" blindly

[thick cosmos]

Dawg

Go buy a Lucky Scav Junk Box

[dusty turtle]

i cant

[thick cosmos]

Please I beg

what why

[dusty turtle]

dont have enough money

[thick cosmos]

Ah

[dusty turtle]

thats why i need help selling

[thick cosmos]

Unless you have quests to give traders guns/hand in, sell any of the guns you dont want

[ivory trench]

should i just be buying guns from fence until lvl 15 unlocks

[thick cosmos]

You able to vc and share your screen? I can help

@dusty turtle

[dusty turtle]

ya sure

what call

[thick cosmos]

chitchat2

under community voice

[ivory trench]

can someone explain what the blue shaded lines mean in the stats bar?

vs the solid blue ones?

[jagged edge]

was playing as scav and tried to shoot someone, they said "stop bro im a scav" as if that meant I shouldnt kill him? can anyone tell me what he means?

[ivory trench]

google scav karma

[jagged edge]

alright

ah shit

[flat osprey]

I heard that as the raid goes on, more difficult scavs spawn with "better" stuff. Do you think waiting for the full factory raid to end would help get me DRD armor? (PvE)

and is there a point where scavs stop spawning in pve?

[ivory trench]

what gun should i be uysing pre 15?

[flat osprey]

basically, lower scav karma means you have to wait longer to go on another scav raid after you leave one, and also fence prices are higher. if you reach 5.0 rep with fence, you get a special quest from him, cant remember what it is

[undone drum]

do you like UMP?

[ivory trench]

i like anything that does any damage and doesnt count100k to buy

how do i put a scope on a gun?

[undone drum]

drag and drop

[ivory trench]

its not working

[flat osprey]

many ak's are great for cheap. you may need a scope mount if youre talking about a 1-6x scope

nightforce is the best mount for height over bore

[ivory trench]

is there a scope mount i can buy for an ak from the trader?

[flat osprey]

unsure, what scope specifically are you talking about?

you may need to put on a bastion cover first

[ivory trench]

idk i bought some random scope thinking its compaitible, ill send a screenshot when out of raid

[undone drum]

ak 74 U?

[ivory trench]

noo, whatever this is

[undone drum]

right click, linked search on the gun, when u in stash

[flat osprey]

yea you cant attach a scope to that because of the gas cover

[slate mountain]

Is RX 6600xt 32 gb of ram okay for streets specifically?

[undone drum]

doesn´t it have dove tail mount?

[flat osprey]

he linked the pilgrim gas cover tbc

[undone drum]

yeah, wrong for that gun

[flat osprey]

make sure low texture mode is on for streets (last graphics setting)

personally i've gained 30+ fps by using process lasso, lotta people use it for amd

typically for processors tho not as much gpu

[jagged edge]

if almost every encounter with people is split second, how am I supposed to know if they are a scav or not? ill just end up dying

[flat osprey]

gun look, suppresor means not a scav. player look, can be tricky for people who picked up stuff but generally its homeless person vs kitted out military man

[flat osprey]

also almost no pmc's use shotguns, usually have a scope on their gun

[ivory trench]

how do i add someone

[undone drum]

avoid any engagement with scavs. just loot and play safe

[jagged edge]

does it technically matter if I dont care about long term?

[undone drum]

if you think someone is a player scav - avoid them, player scavs will kill u for your loot

[jagged edge]

can I just kill everyone?

[undone drum]

if you want a 1 hour timer, fire away

long long term, for end game quests you need good scav karma tho

[jagged edge]

is that why someone who was a player scav didnt shoot at me when Iwas a scav?

[undone drum]

nah, people just want quick scav raids and better gear on their scavs

quick timers i mean

i have 8 min rn

[jagged edge]

so as a pmc I should kill literally everyone I see?

[frank junco]

Idk about everyone. Pick your fights. If a guy looks or sounds scary you can always run away

[sharp plume]

you could

[jagged edge]

alright

[wooden gull]

pvp

[jagged edge]

just checking mate

[mellow matrix]

hey ive got a question, what decides if scavs spawn at a certain place or not? Last raid there were like 8 scavs at old gas, this time only 2 and none have spawned in the last 20 minutes

is there like a scav cap, should i go kill some scavs around the map so more can spawn here?

[unkempt egret]

Pretty random and whatever works behind the scenes gets tweaked every now and again.
Generaly speaking they get attracted to noise and nearby scavs will "investigate" after a bit and they won't spawn if theres a pmc too close to them to avoid players seeing them spawning in

[mellow matrix]

thanks

[rigid stratus]

looking for someone that has experience and help me through some of my tasks. Let me know if anyone wants to run some

[tranquil dragon]

i've been banging my head on this for a while now i meet all the specs and i've watched like 4 videos to see if i'm missing anything but Mechanic just will not take this for Gunsmith part 14, am i missing something? or is the game just bugging?

[undone drum]

did you compare it to tarkov wiki?

[tranquil dragon]

yea, ive looked at it like a dozen times even rebought everything thinking i got the wrong parts or the wrong receiver but nothing has worked

[undone drum]

restarted your game?

[tranquil dragon]

ive been on this for like a week lol

[astral glen]

Doesn’t match the wiki

[undone drum]

this is your build.
Pls compare it to the one wiki offers

[astral glen]

Wrong tactical device for a start

[undone drum]

Bit for bit

Just literally go one item after another of this section and compare bit by bit with this section of wiki

[cedar vigil]

lfg pvp new ish just trying to quest learn and chiil

[tranquil dragon]

omg your right, i misread entirely. My B Ty Ty

[torn rapids]

If you sit in the same spot, you need to make noise or heal to attract scavs

Afaik they can't spawn if you're looking at them as well

[subtle junco]

Can i hold a red rebel while approaching terminal for the transit?

[flat osprey]

sidenote, the abbreviated names occasionally do not match so just double check em all for the rest of the quests

typically they just abbreviate a different word in the full name or sth

[flat osprey]

what is the name of the first quest lightkeeper gives you?

it gives you an AEM i believe

[crimson thicket]

information source

yes it gives AEM textbook

[flat osprey]

is it supposed to lead to another quest? i just completed that, simple side job, and handed in batya items

he didnt give me anything new i should say

[crimson thicket]

simple side job is independent quest, doesn't lead to anything

after giving batya items you have to go back to lighthouse again and go to the sandbag batya spot and get the note regarding prapor

then to dorms marked or woods marked circle and grab the note on lightkeeper, then back to lightkeeper and he'll go on 24 hour CD to prepare the final note that you just need to go and pick up from the ground outside his room

information source will lead to another quest but you have to come back in another raid

[flat osprey]

wait im still on lighthouse just after i completed all of those, should i just run to that spot rn? or is it after the batya ppl contact me

[crimson thicket]

if you just handed in the batya items to lightkeeper you need to extract

[flat osprey]

ah ok ty

[crimson thicket]

the note will appear next raid

[stable wasp]

anyone know do the prestiges count towards higher % for hall of fame? or is it just level

[wooden gull]

level

[wooden gull]

wait i might be mis reading do u think u could re word this better

lowkey makes no sense but it’s just a level

[flat osprey]

im lvl 48, havent prestiged, max lvl HOF and its only at ~1.5% lmfao

[wooden gull]

like i think there’s the dog tags that make a difference

[stable wasp]

im basically asking Prestige 5 level 55, vs a Prestige 0 Level 55 dog tag

[wooden gull]

yes okay yes lmao

my bad

[stable wasp]

npnp

[wooden gull]

wait nvm i guess not

[stable wasp]

hm?

im just too lazy to check myself lmfao

[wooden gull]

i don’t hall of fame crafted yet this wipe been to busy

or else i tell u for sure

but i getting mix answer from people when i asked myself

but it looks like it doesn’t it’s just a suggestion

[stable wasp]

oh i think its just level

a level 42 non prestige is giving me more % than a prestige 2 level39

kinda dumb but whatever

[wooden gull]

i feel like that’s silly in a way

[stable wasp]

ig it makes sense but i agree with u

[wooden gull]

i mean it’s technically a more experienced player

[stable wasp]

ikr

[wooden gull]

plus imo when u have the hof the dog tags do help

thanks for asking a good question

[stable wasp]

!!!

[wooden gull]

i’m curious how they move forward with that and prestige

[flat osprey]

anyone know if i can remove this FS off the rpk? its just covering my scope

[wooden gull]

nope only a riser

[compact gate]

can i buy this scope Burris FullField TAC30 1-4x24 30mm riflescope or same type at level 15 - 17 trader level 2 except mechanic and jaeger?

[weary meteor]

I belive tac30 is available after lvl 35

[wooden gull]

tac30 is an easy barter no?

[compact gate]

yes barter with jaeger level 2

[wooden gull]

yeah 3 waters

[compact gate]

ahh i see okay then looks like its the only option for me

[wooden gull]

[flat osprey]

also u are very correct, just swapped dogtags for the max lvl ones i have instead of my friends, now its at 9% 😭 do the trophies effect the percentage aswell?

[wooden gull]

i thought so lol i’m not to sure on that since i’m not a big nerd like i use to be

but i could potentially give you an answer since you asked

[flat osprey]

doesnt seem like it unless its for specific items ig

[crimson thicket]

just dogtags. opposite faction, killed by you, the higher level the better

[wooden gull]

^^

[flat osprey]

dayum now im at 15% boost, ty. had a few dogtags killed by others / scavs lmfao

[wooden gull]

there we go

[stable wasp]

15%? dayum bro

all of mine are above 46 and im only getting like 11.5%

[crimson thicket]

all of my 50+ tags are BEAR i swear to god

annoying. im at like 13% boost

[stable wasp]

lmfao thats crazy. feel like its always more usec than bears

still goofy how a prestige 4 level 44 gives lower percent than a prestige 0 level 45

[flat osprey]

playing pve so dw about it lmfao. pvp is a different game

[stable wasp]

xDD

ahh

[crimson thicket]

yeah i think there are more usec than bears but it feels like the highest lvl players are bear for whatever reason

[flat osprey]

gotta learn these maps before i get insta head-eyes cmon now! technically a beginner, only started the day 1.0 came out

imma get the good ending then switch to pvp (hell)

[stable wasp]

i respect it. as long as your not there for your entire life

[flat osprey]

^

i just watch ppl like landmark and think id be so mad if i got beamed by him in a game lmfao

[proper vine]

we can fix you

[wooden gull]

i got 214 usec kills and 111 bears

[weary meteor]

What boost does that even give

[crimson thicket]

"skill group leveling combat"

probably like guns and gun classes i would guess

[weary meteor]

Never knew that, damn

[flat osprey]

(all the skills marked with C next to the name of it)

[crimson thicket]

yeah ive almost got 3x the amount of usecs killed vs bear

still i feel like my highest level tags are all bear

[flat osprey]

also i run the game on my computer so it shouldnt be fw pvp load times too much

[stable wasp]

464 usec 217 bears for me

at least from California, dudes here love the Usec

NA in general

[flat osprey]

pve is very even, i got 455 bears, 424 usec. makes sense tho

usec is just too nice for lighthouse

[stable wasp]

thats what you'd think but tbh... it dont really matter

if ur at lighthouse u gotta kill rogues regardless. i would be usec in previous wipes

[crimson thicket]

yeah honestly i like bear for lighthouse for no other reason than "on our own land"

wrap that up real quick

[stable wasp]

facts. yea you already know

[woeful spruce]

Yea, ive noticed that too. There seems to be some corelation with new players going usec slightly more often and veterans who will get to higher lvl going bear slightly more often. Im not sure why.

[flat osprey]

precisely^

when i asked my vet friend "usec or bear" his response was "usec has easier time on one map, bear has nikita voicelines"

"and some difference in a few tasks, no difference in ending"

[woeful spruce]

I maybe think bear seems more mysterious and badass to people more familiar with the lore and the game. Theres so much info about usec but bear only got some lore in 1.0.

And it signals being difrent from the new people who gravitate usec cause lighthouse and m4s in stsrting stash sounding cooler

[flat osprey]

well i can tell u when i found out i was on the terragroup-bought side i was mildly disappointed in my choice

[brisk wharf]

Bear has ISKRA instead of MRE, so if you rush to that jaeger stashing iskra quest, you dont get stuck due to no flea or no barter req items

[flat osprey]

is it possible to get 5 labrys notes in 1 labrynth run?

[brisk wharf]

theoretically yes, but will you? probably not. I cant even find 1

[wooden gull]

no

[unique mantle]

i did it in a single run

it will take time to find them tho, hard to navigate

[hidden seal]

depend on the country of the servers you play in . In SA like easily 80% are Bears.

[shell otter]

has anyone noticed in like the past month or so decent loot has in locked rooms/marked rooms has been almost non existent

[sharp trellis]

It’s been that way for me until recently.

[glass atlas]

i tried running abandoned factory marked key since i found it. ran it twice and found literal garbage so it’s just been sitting in my stash.

[shell otter]

ive found 2 314 keys and maybe two of them out of all 20 ive used ive found half ok stuff
