[astral glen]

No

[slender plover]

Where do you get the 60 round m4 mags before lvl traders

[sharp plume]

gluhkar guards or just getting lucky

[weary meteor]

Lighthouse rouges if you got the map unlocked

[turbid oriole]

You ask a buddy to bring you one

Thats what I did

[indigo crypt]

Any idea what the bird-humming dong sound means during a raid?

I had the impression that an exit or open is taken by other players, but i dont know what exactly

[frank junco]

Are you camping in bushes? Probably the karma loss sound

[indigo crypt]

Fuck yeah i love the bush

Thanks 😄

[frank junco]

Yup definitely loosing karma lol. It just means partisan hates you now

[indigo crypt]

I'm always waiting a bit before i approach gas station in SL

I'm trying to enhance my grenades skills in order to get some s/kills. First one accomplished by coincidence...

Can you guys provide some help in general use of grenades? In which situations? How far away? Which type etc?

[turbid pine]

How do you get more AA-12 drum mag?

I got 1 for a quest

[fiery moat]

well, grenades work just how you think they work, check which grenade ur using and its fuze delay, i also havent gotten that much grenadier kills bc i didnt try to do the task(2/5) one of my kills was simply tossing a nade from ground zero fusion's stairs to tarbank first floor hole, think about distance that way( ofc the distance varies by grenades and your character's skill, so u can throw them way further depending on you and the grenade)

[late belfry]

Is there any good spots on labs to find the Advanced Current Converter and the far-forward gps signal thingy

[latent cipher]

yellow

[indigo crypt]

Thx! I also think tripwires from Jaeger could work well

[fiery moat]

make sure to use correct nades with them

i dont think pairing an m67 with a tripwire would get you any kills

[shrewd python]

You use 2 tripwires, one with m67 the other with a vog
you can make some inescapable traps

[fiery moat]

idk why double trap m67 with vog instead of just placing the vog normally

[shrewd python]

m67 makes them move into the vog, but has a long enough fuse time that they can't run back

[weary sky]

For the quest natural exchange do i have to use full fuel cans??

[weak reef]

i found 0.2btc, what should i do with it?

[wanton willow]

does anybody want to some side quest with me?

[warm sequoia]

for some reason im unable to create new lfg calls? anyone know how to fix?

[wary wasp]

me to really weird

[wary wasp]

was an issue 1 year back also, and that took like 1,5 months to fix

[warm sequoia]

lame

[astral glen]

It didn’t take that long to fix

The bot is currently down, nothing we can do right now

[wary wasp]

oke, holyy felt like along time for me then, good to know 👍

[astral glen]

It has never been down longer than a day

[manic sable]

hello guys

[astral glen]

Although this time it might, the better option is to just scrap the voice channels and implement the old system

[shrewd python]

idk why you guys changed it
old system worked
when #3 channel was in the #3 place, and not somewhere randomly

idk new one prob has some perks

[astral glen]

Because people wanted the ability to limit their voice channel slots

That is not possible with the previous system

[shrewd python]

yea but weren't there like duo and trio channels

effectively the same

[wary wasp]

Helping new players, dm me

[astral glen]

Not map specific ones

[shrewd python]

That just doesn't seem as important ig

but I get why some people might want it

[astral glen]

It was requested by many users daily so we implemented something that would allow them to limit the channel user count

I personally didn’t see the point in it

But I’m just answering your question

[shrewd python]

preciate it

[high oasis]

i cant win arena no matter what i do

people tryhard too much

[torn rapids]

personally i like the new system

[fiery moat]

yall what is the fastest way to get ammo better than 7.62x51 BCP FMJ, its the best one i can obtain rn and thats with crafting

[torn rapids]

pk lvl 4 and get M80

[light stag]

and lighthouse revision

[fiery moat]

my peacekeeper is 0.10

[torn rapids]

yeah ur not getting anything better than bcp for a while lol

[light stag]

best bet is probably scav and look for better than bcp

[fiery moat]

rn its easier for me to get prapor 4 than peacekeeper 3

no more dmrs then i guess

SVT-40 and SVD will be my new partners

especially if i could get LPS since this fkin T46M has tracer

[gritty escarp]

I just got the quests on customs: "The Extortionist", "Operation Aquarius part one" and "Background Check", I'm only lvl 9 with no good ammo really so how should I go about getting in and out of dorms without dying successfully? any advice is greatly appreciated :D

[fiery moat]

to wait until theres like 8 minutes left

could go lower, like 5 mins, but then u probably wont be able to extract

[gritty escarp]

is customs 25 minutes?

[fiery moat]

ye

[gritty escarp]

alright thanks

I'm guessing most people won't go for the key I need due to them already completing the quest?

[torn rapids]

just aim for head tbh

[fiery moat]

it says 25 but i think its 35 tbh cuz shoreline also says 35 but in reality its 45

[torn rapids]

if you have m855 it still fucks

[gritty escarp]

9x19 ammo?

[fiery moat]

bro straight up said skill issue

[torn rapids]

PST is fine

[gritty escarp]

fair

[torn rapids]

i mean like

[gritty escarp]

I'm running UMP rn, currently not ran customs yet was just asking for some advice to not f up my first run lmfao

[torn rapids]

you cant play 30 more levels worrying about ammo diff

[fiery moat]

i also used to just spray faces with pst until i kept facing dudes with killa/tagilla/altyn helmets

[torn rapids]

like its not gonna be fun if you feel like you cant even play a raid until the last 8 minutes

[gritty escarp]

do face shields do much in this game? that's my main worry about ammo, if not then I'll just aim for the head

[torn rapids]

yeah ammo diff sucks when ur early but like

[torn rapids]

they do but youll be fine

[fiery moat]

gl, im on a similar way into lighthouse, 6 raids zero pmc kills 3 extracts with only killing partizan and scavs while my only quest is to kill pmcs

[torn rapids]

like if ur low level your armour most likely wont mtter

[gritty escarp]

bet, I am a young chad tbf I don't like waiting and I pvp alot I just heard dorms is a big pvp zone so I assumed people would be running higher tier stuff

[fiery moat]

yes but they are very expensive and hinder the ability to see and most helmets that allow faceshields also hinder hearing

[gritty escarp]

damn fair, my last 5 raids I've had about 7pmc kills and extracted 3/5 so I'm feeling decent

[torn rapids]

oh for sure, but its also got like 20 quests there + people are still doing set up (shotgun quest) so youll find a lot of goobers in there too

dorms is a very mixed bag

[fiery moat]

yea on customs i also get a lot of successful raids along with bad ones, but dude, lighthouse is a different depth of hell

[gritty escarp]

yeah true, might wait out the first 10 mins in the woods until the fighting mainly dies down then see if I can clean up and get my quests and maybe find a juicy dead pmc 👀

[torn rapids]

the biggest thing about dorms is understanding spawns and when you're getting there

theres like 3 major dorms spawns

[fiery moat]

people will always be doing that quest. new dudes joining or old ones delaying that quest, always will be some. i still face a lot of dudes who are doing test drive part 1( i havent done that too) and 99% of people on lighthouse are doing punisher part 4 including me

[gritty escarp]

from what I've heard about lighthouse it's making me not even wanna complete tour and just be contempt with the maps I have xD

[torn rapids]

if you dont get one of the 3, youre most likely gonna be peaking into a player who hears you

if you do get one of the 3, youre gonna be fighting when you get there

[gritty escarp]

the 2 times I've ran near dorms there's been lots of fighting and I scurry past for other quests but I assume they'd just peak out of windows and doors etc if you get close with a bad spawn

[fiery moat]

i just wanna get secure container epsilon which is twice the size of alpha, punisher part 4 forces me to get 10 pmcs while wearing scav vest and balaclava in lighthouse, but hoooly, people camp sooo much on that map its insane, you could find half of the lobby either rushing chalet or just camping for 25+ minutes without moving

[gritty escarp]

LMFAO that's rough, what containers are available early game? I don't really know much about them

if there are any available early game I should say

[torn rapids]

but tbh any team in dorms will have the same comms "metal? who's on metal?" "stairs someone on stairs" dies "YOU SAID STAIRS NO ONES THERE" "yeah the stairs outside!" "which outside?" "car side" dies "THATS ICE CREAM"

[fiery moat]

epsilon and theta are the only ones u can get from missions, kappa too but u know how hard it is probably

[gritty escarp]

indeed

are there any others that are maybe 2x3 etc and easy to get or is it just all quests

[fiery moat]

keep grinding prapors quests, you will eventually get to bp depot, then shaking up the teller,then punisher part 1,2,3,4,5,6. after the 6th one, you get the epsilon

[torn rapids]

beta from peacekeeper 2

[fiery moat]

u can barter for beta on peacekeeper 2

[gritty escarp]

bet

[gritty escarp]

how big's beta?

[fiery moat]

1 tank battery, 3 virtex, 3 iridium for beta 3x2

[gritty escarp]

alright bet

looks like flea market is coming in handy for that 😭

[fiery moat]

beta 3x2, epsilon 4x2, theta 4x2+2, gamma 3x3, kappa 4x3

[gritty escarp]

which would you say is better between theta and gamma?

[fiery moat]

yea gl buying virtexes off of flea, its 1000 times easier to get epsilon

[torn rapids]

theta

its 1 slot bigger than gamma

[fiery moat]

gamma requires u to spend 250 dollars

[gritty escarp]

thought so

[torn rapids]

also has a better layout

[gritty escarp]

bruh

[fiery moat]

theta is just like epsilon, 4x2, but has 2 extra slots on the side that are separated

[gritty escarp]

okay well it seems like I'll just go for epsilon first then theta later

[gritty escarp]

yeeee

did you say theta is also from quests?

[fiery moat]

if u wanna buy arena u can get theta way easier than epsilon, but grinding punisher gives u so many other rewards too

yes, theta is from ref's quests

[torn rapids]

yea

[gritty escarp]

arena P2W 🥀

[torn rapids]

but you get a free trial to arena

with one of the quests

so you can theoretically get theta in those 3 days

[fiery moat]

theta is not even close to anything that makes arena p2w, wait until u see all other benefits

[torn rapids]

if you have the time

[gritty escarp]

😭

[fiery moat]

owning arena is like infinite loot and infinite xp

[gritty escarp]

is the 3 day access something you activate or is it just active once you complete a quest or smthn

[fiery moat]

if u see dudes with 300 hours and 10 million xp they are probably just grinding from arena

[gritty escarp]

I'll get it in 1 day

alright well

thanks for the assistance imma go ahead and try to not die within the first 10 mins of existing near dorms

if I get a bad spawn I guess I could always do the extortionist instead tho

bruh my scav has 100k roubles

[torn rapids]

you know you cant do quests on your scav right?

[gritty escarp]

I was just doing a factory run rq to warmup and get free money

[torn rapids]

oh ok

was gonna say

a few ppl have been on scavs trying to do tasks xd

[gritty escarp]

sadly however I spawned in at 13 minutes and there were 2 pmcs who just killed me about 1 min after I spawned camping in a corner together so bye bye 100k

[gritty escarp]

damn 😭 I mean I guess you can do the found in raid stuff but other than that you can't do others

[fiery moat]

yea u can only do "find x item in raid" stuff(not quest items that dont show up in inventory tho) OR you can do fence tasks(daily) once you build intelligence center

[torn rapids]

those two are best dorms spawns

but those above can quickly rotate down if they want to

[gritty escarp]

alright cheers

I've got a duo so I'm waiting for him to get on then we gonna run some customs and try get it done in 1-2 raids

[muted owl]

Any info on when the snows going away??

[torn rapids]

probably march

[muted owl]

Damn 😑 really wish after the Christmas event it was just a potential weather condition for maybe a month then went away, im over the snow already

[deft shuttle]

LF help on ground zero. Under lvl 20

[fiery moat]

alr nikita u won im gonna buy arena pls dont make me go to lighthouse again :(

what a map

lost 10 million in a day

[noble wave]

what quest?

[fiery moat]

punisher part 4

i thought it would be easy to get 10 pmcs in lighthouse cuz i did similar quests in like 2-3 raids

0 kill 7 raids, in one of them a dude literally tanked SNB into his helmet,it bounced off and i died. in second, i got absolutely airstriked by a grenade from hundreds of meters away, in third, i died instantly and it goes on and on like that

i think it was way more than 7 raids

been playing for 12 hours and my kits were definitely below 1 million

[noble wave]

the true lighthouse experience

[fiery moat]

arena also gives tons of xp right?

[noble wave]

it transfers over yes

[fiery moat]

idc about money i already made way more than enough but i really need xp

[noble wave]

skills too

[fiery moat]

stuck lvl28 with 500 raids, literally my first wipe, most of my traders have enough rep to be lvl4(and im on standard account so no 0.20 boost) i just wanna level up traders

[noble wave]

punisher task is a task u kinda want to finish

not for the epsilon but for other tasks and things too

[fiery moat]

multiple people told me its too early for someone like me and will be rather hard

[noble wave]

oh its ur first wipe?

[fiery moat]

ima just take theta, may go for epsilon and give it to fence in "the choice" later on

[fiery moat]

yea steam player

theta is way easier than epsilon right?

if its some shi like "get x kills in arena" etc. then im okay

[noble wave]

well there is a quest that u pay mil for the entry

[fiery moat]

i have about 37m left for it

[noble wave]

and u need to get 3wins or 4 losses if u get the losses before the 3 wins u need to pay another mil and so on and so forth

[fiery moat]

yea ik that quest i saw it before, anything harder than that?

[noble wave]

not really

[weary sky]

nah

[noble wave]

and its bigger than epsilon too

[fiery moat]

do any of the quests require some weird shi from the tarkov itself like go to x location,grab x key and take y item and extract and put it somewhere

[noble wave]

yes

[fiery moat]

ahh..

[noble wave]

u need to get the key for dorms overseer

[fiery moat]

already got 4 of those keys

[noble wave]

room or buy it from flea

[fiery moat]

dorms is ez np

is the quest only "go dorms open overseer key area and grab x item"

[noble wave]

after the mil yes

u gotta go twice in there i think

2nd time u grab a folder u turn in

[fiery moat]

any other quest that forces me to play the tarkov and not the arena?

[noble wave]

dorms overseer key in the last quest for theta

when u turn in the folder to either ref or fence u get theta

but to complete the tasks and move on to the next u have to go back and forth from arena eft

[fiery moat]

thought arena was 35 dollars not 45, ig tax not included in price

[fiery moat]

yea ik that one, in some quests i have to go to eft everytime i win a match in arena so it registers

[noble wave]

but dorms overseer key is the last

also since its ur first wipe

lighthouse is gonna suck for u definitely with punisher

[fiery moat]

yes

[noble wave]

and test drive

[fiery moat]

i havent even done test drive and setup tbh, just tried both of them once, got 1 kill each, extracted, so 1 raid 1 kill and never touched em again

[noble wave]

xD

[fiery moat]

wish i had punisher part 4 on woods

[noble wave]

setup is ok to leave u only get like the mutant which i like

[fiery moat]

i'd be okay with 100 pmcs on woods rather than 10 on lighthouse

[noble wave]

careful what u wish for

thing is lighthouse is terribly designed

even with southern road only one side of the map has safe covered rotations up north and beach doesnt really

but even the safe passages can either be straight up camped tripwired

they are choke points people will camp but when u dont have an alternative cause u get bombed by the rogues

its kinda lame and really predictable

and then some spawns have high ground upon spawn

[fiery moat]

spawns are horrible definitely, and the entire map is focused on chalets,especially that one u also probably know, literally all my raids i always spawned somewhere next to chalet itself or somewhere that has clear angle to the chalet

i'd rather pay 1 million roubles per raid to play on ground zero or woods than to get 1 million roubles to play on lighthouse, the experience has been THAT bad

[noble wave]

ik bro

[fiery moat]

map so bad it forced me to spend 45 dollars rn

[noble wave]

i got like 1.5-1.7k hours

ik

have u done the tour task

the main one?

[fiery moat]

wdym the tour task, isnt there tons of quests inside it

[noble wave]

yea the first chapter i mean

[fiery moat]

i just left it at where it said go to labs

i have 4 chapters active tbh

[earnest ridge]

its just stupid... bosses in this game are straight up bullshit. iam lvl 6, i had to do factory. i went in with a shotgun and after like 1 min tagilla ran at me. i did 904( all fleshdmg ) dmg to him and his left leg. then i had to reload and was dead. even with blackout legs he just runs faster than i could sprint. Why is it like that?

[noble wave]

ok after u transit into labs for that one u get the achievment and u complete that one

[fiery moat]

bosses in this game are good the way they are tbh, i killed tagilla with one 30 rounder mag of 9x19 green tracer to his leg

[noble wave]

bosses always more hp

gluhar has like 1k

[fiery moat]

wait until bro sees zryachiy's hp

1685 on a sniper boss

[noble wave]

or minotaur

3k in the penus

[fiery moat]

most bosses arent even that hard to kill, they are just a "threat" rather than a bullet sponge

[earnest ridge]

try tagilla on factory with lvl 1 traders

[fiery moat]

partizan,reshala,shturman,tagilla, these r the ones i kill the easiest

[fiery moat]

mp5 with green tracers that you get as starter gear, i killed tagilla with it, but i used 30 round instead of that tiny 20 round

but yes its hard

especially if hes rushing with sledgehammer

u have to keep running until he pulls out his gun

then right at that moment u start spraying

i also got ambushed by tagilla multiple times in office stairs where he just hammered me

[earnest ridge]

spawned at the medtent

ran out.. was very quiet

was behind a container

he just walked up to me

wallhack?

no wonder SPT is so popular.. fuck this bullshit

gg

[noble wave]

weve all been there

[earnest ridge]

happends way to often

its like 50-60% on factory

its like a lame joke that no one likes but you hear it anyways

[noble wave]

safe to assume first wipe?

[earnest ridge]

no

[noble wave]

how many hrs then

cause if u were new then ok yea

[earnest ridge]

250 but iam probably a noob

[noble wave]

yea its not that much

most bosses like tagilla rush u

so u need to always have space around u to play

with cover ofc

[earnest ridge]

if 250 hours is not enought to do a lvl 6 quest on factory on a frsh wiped accout then i dont think iam the prboelm here

[noble wave]

im not saying ur bad

the bosses are a pain especially low level

but u can make them play into ur hand

[earnest ridge]

yeah that was my point

[noble wave]

sort of

and whether it sounds good or bad

after enough deaths u know his behaviour

so it automatically becomes easier to deal with

also tip if hes near u but being quiet you can hear his heavy breathing under the mask to indicate thats him

same with killa

[earnest ridge]

i did factory maybe 8 times because i hate dealing with this crap, he was there every time

i got killed 5 times after a couple of minutes becasue he was just randomly there

[noble wave]

well the ai track u thru walls despite what others might say

im sure uve seen it with reg scavs as well

[earnest ridge]

yeah i head him like that but he walked up to me behind a container anyways even thou i was super quiet

[noble wave]

nope 😂

he sees u

he will push to the nearest of him

or the first to have him in his sights

[earnest ridge]

😄

iam kionda done with that

i will play SPT and dial down the hp of bosses by 50%

[noble wave]

factory do be like that

[earnest ridge]

boss spwnrate is way to high anyways

[noble wave]

u do u bro

its u thats gonna play

[unique geyser]

Are ALL caches now RNG or are there some that are still guaranteed?

[noble wave]

dynamic

50/50

[drifting crater]

yo I'm level 4 and I suck dog ween at this game who wants to meme around with me on Factory or streets of tarkov i still got my ground zero quests

[kindred grotto]

LMAO

[weary sky]

EU?

[kindred grotto]

high spawnrate for bosses best thing in 1.0

[drifting crater]

i am NA but i can give my good connection a try

[weary sky]

uhh nah its okay. Gl finding NA

[rose storm]

LF help, just started 1.0, im in EU

[fiery moat]

the first quest of overseer key, i assume i have to do BOTH from the previous section instead of any right? cuz im sure i planted those tnt bricks at ground zero months ago and i dont have the quest

[light stag]

yes both

[earnest ridge]

great for lvl 6 doing factory for sure... so LMAO, tagilla is free with lvl 1 traders...

[rose storm]

I keep running into killa in interchange

[light stag]

Stop going in the mall

[rose storm]

but the first quest (tour) says to go to interchange

[kindred grotto]

easily killable lmao, stop coping and get better

[light stag]

Yeah, doesn’t say go in the mall

[rose storm]

but the loot...

[kindred grotto]

wish i has this problem

[light stag]

You’re just trying to extract once

[kindred grotto]

only intresting part about the map tho

[fiery moat]

interchange is 99% about the mall wdym stop going in

the kiba arms, the ultra medical, the 50 or so cash registers that have like 3 million roubles inside, the underground with military crates spawning level 5 armor, the random ledxs on shelves, the quests and the pvp taking place inside...

[light stag]

hes doing your

tour

he doesn’t need loot

he needs to survive a raid

[rose storm]

i mean lets be real, who doesnt need loot?

[hidden seal]

someone tryign to unlock maps

and unlock traders.. far more important than loot

[light stag]

^

so you

[torn rapids]

you can click completed to see

like so

[lapis mountain]

interchange #11 tasking and fucking around

[arctic token]

why do i not have private clinic task? im level 34 and have done all health care privacys

[astral glen]

Because you need to be level 35

[arctic token]

perfect thanks man was going nuts lol

[fiery moat]

i dont think this is the channel for that

[hearty turret]

is there only one instance/spawn of a note from jager for the secret location in the woods?

like someone got to it before me and looted it? that's why it isn't therE?

[fallen spoke]

its always there if you have the quest

[shrewd python]

wrong side of the ladder

it's pretty hard to see under the snow

[hearty turret]

gotttt it i see it now thank you

i dont understand how to extract outskirts on woods though - i follow the lake around... it hits a point where it says land mines.. you dont go there

you hit up a road on that side and the road takes you north.. away from outskirts

[arctic token]

follow right of the landmine signs until u see a pickup truck

[latent cipher]

if you find that road..look the other way and theres an abandoned truck sitting there. thats your outskirts extracts

[hearty turret]

tight ty

[alpine nymph]

mr kerman still not talking to me bruh

[rapid steeple]

if i were to optimize my game, how much fps could i average on lets say interchange for example? (3080, ryzen 7 7700x, 32gb ddr5 ram)
cuz right now im getting like 80-90 fps on that map feels terrible

or am i just bottlenecked by my cpu ?

[pliant mist]

What are some ways to learn the other maps? I’ve almost got Ground Zero down, is it just brute force it to learn?

[rapid steeple]

i do offline mode, and pull up a map on the second monitor and sort of study the map

[ivory trench]

How can I get my hands on a docs case? I’m below lvl 15

[twin hound]

do a bunch of scav runs on the said map you want to learn. so you will see the main point of interests, bosses spawn points, map flow, etc

[unique geyser]

4080 super or above + cpu upgrade.

Tarkov is intensely CPU dependant so this is way more important and the most high rig PC's will get 100-200 depending on map but 60-100 on streets for example. I have seen tests of Tarkov in live pvp servers on interchange with super high end pc at 150-180 fps.

I think 32 -> 64 gb of Ram helps with streets specifically but tiny tiny gains for such cost.

Also you probably already do but it's super important this game is not on a HDD but an SSD

[toxic jetty]

i resetted my gpu drivers and it made my fps go upto 180 in interchange once with a mid system

[crimson thicket]

Therapist barter is the fastest way

[toxic jetty]

its now at around 120 fps again tho for some reason

[crimson thicket]

Yeah the cost vs performance upgrade for buying RAM right now isn't even close to worth it

And honestly switching from a 3080 to a 4080 feels like you'd be lucky to get 15 extra fps. Tarkov hardly cares about your gfx card

[daring ingot]

am i the only gpu bound person that plays tarkov lol

expect for streets somehow

3060 at 4k is chugging

[worthy sonnet]

i get around 60-70 frames with a 3060 and a ryzen 5 7600

streets around 55

sometimes frames fgo to like 80 if im just wandering around

[thorn sonnet]

any tips for coop extracting on woods and reserve?

[hidden seal]

this game is not made to play in 4K with med end cards

I play 1080 with a 3060TI

[daring ingot]

oh i know

to be clear i didn't expect it to run well

it's just holding me over while i go on marketplace

[daring ingot]

honestly i still get 60-80fps on every map expect for streets

actually playable

[hidden seal]

I get less because I have jsut 2666MHz memory and 5600 CPu

[daring ingot]

overclock

[hidden seal]

ramageddon made me decide to postpone my upgrade to mid 2027

[daring ingot]

speaking of overclocking i really need to overclock my memory again

i had 4000mhz cl16 with decent subtimings

[hidden seal]

no.. My motherboard is like 9 years old. I migh even underclock to ensure the motherboard live long enough for 2027

[daring ingot]

but i updated bios

[quartz magnet]

just download more ram

[daring ingot]

pffft it'll be fine

[daring ingot]

is that not what a pagefile is basically

slow shitty ram

[quartz magnet]

you do have a point

[hidden seal]

need to convince my new empliyers that they need to send me a beefy computer ( I am paid to develop AI stuff fro them.. so might stick 😛 )

[quartz magnet]

tell them you need 64gb of ddr5

and you will be set for life

[hidden seal]

that probably woudl be easy to justify...

[daring ingot]

i need a NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 for work trust

[hidden seal]

since I do stuff to proccess volumetric tomosynthesys exams

[quartz magnet]

and that you also need a 9950x3d

[daring ingot]

(full fat uncut 5090 die with 96gb of vram)

[hidden seal]

that might be harder 😛

[quartz magnet]

the worst they can say is no

[daring ingot]

no no no you're missing the tech

don't ask for consumer hardware

ask for server/workstation hardware thats rebranded consumer hardware

[hidden seal]

server grade hardware they do not sen d to our homes

only to be accessed remotely

[quartz magnet]

ask for a threadripper 9995wx(?)

[hidden seal]

yes those big expensive NVIDIA TPUs

[daring ingot]

does your work not give you RTX PRO 6000s? for home use?

[hidden seal]

not employed from the future

[daring ingot]

very cheap

[quartz magnet]

very cheap

[hidden seal]

Consider they manufacture CT scans.. NVidia cards are cheap

[quartz magnet]

the fact that it has a review is wild

[hidden seal]

but they are not fools as well

[daring ingot]

dude so theres this one guy who works at nvidia in another server im in and he gifted one of those "cheap" workstation ampere cards that cost like 6000 bucks to the mechanic that fixed his trucks windshield because he bought an amd card

[daring ingot]

canadian spotted

[quartz magnet]

prove it

[hidden seal]

you know that basically every nvidia engineer for many years are filthy rich right?

[hidden seal]

as they get part of their paycheck in NV stocks

[daring ingot]

oh i know

[quartz magnet]

"threadripper 9955wx in canada"

[hidden seal]

even their cleaning personal are rich lol

[daring ingot]

he's not an engineer he has an engineering degree and works at nvidia but he's not an engineer

[hidden seal]

I saw they had a guy working on cleaning for 19 years and the guy is like more than set for life.. but he continues working

[daring ingot]

he works in marketing and basically translates between engineering speak and marketing speak

[quartz magnet]

i should get my red seal then see about working for nvidia 😭

[daring ingot]

why would you need a trades degree for nvidia

[hidden seal]

it is absurdly hard to get a position there...

[quartz magnet]

already half way through it

[daring ingot]

i wonder why

[hidden seal]

NVIDIA never ever fired someone in the company history.. so they have a super strict selection to keep that

[quartz magnet]

might as well get it 🤷‍♂️

[daring ingot]

im so hyped to start my engineering degree

(im going to die)

[hidden seal]

lol in 1 year you will be screaming

[quartz magnet]

you wont, you will just wish you were

[hidden seal]

a lot of tiem that is true

[daring ingot]

atleast im not in SK and China like my cousins who are going for engineering/CS degrees

could be worse

[hidden seal]

CS degree dependign on place is much liek engineering

[daring ingot]

one of them is currently at tsinghua university and the other goes to SNU

[hidden seal]

honestly do nto know much about asian institutions. When I got my degree (1999) China was not comeptitive at all

[quartz magnet]

🤯

[daring ingot]

basically the worst 2 places for mental health and very compeitive

[daring ingot]

my fellow canada man did you see that canada computers had a credit card skimmer on it for 2 months?

[hidden seal]

well in 27 years a lot changes 🙂

[quartz magnet]

which location?

[daring ingot]

online

the website

[quartz magnet]

lmfao

no way

😭

[daring ingot]

someone made a reddit post about it and the day after they removed it and 3 or so days ago they sent an email out to people affected

[quartz magnet]

how did somebody even manage to push it without anybody noticing

good thing ive only bought in person

[daring ingot]

fuck if i know

[frosty isle]

I thought frost bite was over🥲

[quartz magnet]

toss me the headlamp pls

[daring ingot]

ngl i don't think im going to ever use the website again and only buy in store

[quartz magnet]

i wouldnt ever make a purchase for anything remotely valuable online unless its the only way or if its a tool and/or work clothes

[frosty isle]

Lololololol nah that's my eyes between 2:30-7am rn lol

[quartz magnet]

nightshift?

[frosty isle]

Nah just 14s rn got fucked and thrown on a site that's a few months behind 2:30-4:30

[quartz magnet]

meanwhile im happy with my 6:00am-2:30pm 😄

at least youre making $$$

more money to spend on tarkov outfits

[inland marlin]

i bought some shit on bsg last night and today some idiot tried getting a paramount+ subscription with it

[radiant shadow]

[rigid stratus]

Looking for someone that can help me navigate through Streets for "Audit", "Revision", Dangerous Rd, Population Census, Delicious Sausage (I found the Sausage already)

[hearty turret]

i have a 5080 and a 9800x3d, i play in 4k everything maxed oiut

performance dlss and it rolls no slowdowns

[warped laurel]

name was FOTW

[thorn sonnet]

whats the keycard that acc lets you into terminal called and whats the craft?

[daring ingot]

question how the fuck do i know where i spawn on woods

[crimson thicket]

A few different ways to orient yourself. Easy one is the giant mountain in the middle of the map

[warped laurel]

💯

[daring ingot]

ok i see a mountain now what

[crimson thicket]

Figure out what landmark you're near

Little ponds? Sawmill? A town? A swamp?

[daring ingot]

theres like a lumber thingy

[quartz magnet]

look at the pattern of the trees

and hills/ditches

[hasty bison]

i need to stash an sv-98 at a quest location, can i stash it if i have the weapon equipped, or does it have to be in my backpack

[astral glen]

Either works

Also doesn’t need to be the full gun

[hasty bison]

great, thank you

[astral glen]

You can strip everything except for the receiver and still place it

Scrape a bit of money off it

[hasty bison]

awesome

[daring ingot]

so i starved to death

[quartz magnet]

gg

[ivory trench]

anyone knwo where i am on woods?

[daring ingot]

i was almost at extract too

[quartz magnet]

im guessing usec checkpoint is ahead and to the left a bit

wait nvm

probably bunker

cant tell with just that image

[ivory trench]

does this help at all?

[quartz magnet]

yes you are top right of the map

bunker and abandoned village are to your left

old saw is to your right

[daring ingot]

speaking of sawmill

i did not know old sawmill and sawmill were different places

[ivory trench]

sorry can someone give me an exact marker based on this trying to get to plane crash for woods quest line

[astral glen]

You’re at the old sawmill, south of the vehicle extract and north east of the crashed plane

[ivory trench]

amazing thankss guys

by this cross now, any ideas?

[full rain]

that big mountain area in middle. go to right side sticky out bit then go south

i think ....

[daring ingot]

is armored rig or body armor + chest rig better?

[inland marlin]

Depends on the material of the armors and the durability of the plates/armor

some rigs are better than some armors and vice versa depending on materials and weight and such

a breakdown of the materials and their damage resistance is on the wiki

[sharp plume]

i think you moved somewhere here but im not really sure

[daring ingot]

ah fuck i loaded into raid and remembered that didn't insure anything

ok where the fuck am i

[humble eagle]

by scav house bottom left of map

on the right side of the road

[daring ingot]

oh great the exact opposite side of the map i wanted to spawn on

I DIDN"T BRING FOOD

[humble eagle]

goodluck my friend

rippp nvmm lolll

there might be food at that wooden logs

outside of the hut

[daring ingot]

pmc killed

and i died

[humble eagle]

rip loll, doing starter quests?

[daring ingot]

yeah

[humble eagle]

want me to run with you?

[daring ingot]

nah i'm gone for a bit i might me on later if your down

Be on

[humble eagle]

send me a message i might be on

[ivory trench]

its okay thanks luckioly i found it and got out, i hate woods sucha terrifying map

[sharp plume]

woods goated once you figure out the map

[reef chasm]

If I shoot an unarmored SCAV with buckshot and some of the pellets hits the head while others hit the body. Does that count as headshot or bodyshot?

[astral glen]

Depends what killed it

[reef chasm]

Having some real problem with spa day 1 quest. Slug can’t hit for shit even with 3MOA

[ivory trench]

cani put a scope on this gun?

if i dont have flea market yet

do a linked search on the dust cover and if theres no scope do a linked search on the gun and check the dust covers you can buy

[raven laurel]

is the discord bugged it wont let me make a channel anymore and people are just sitting in the channel thats supposed to auto create one

[alpine nymph]

if this motherfucker mr kerman wont tell me to speak to mechanic by tomorrow night im going to fucking tweak

[queen torrent]

i need an admin, player in channel stole my stuff after getting me killed

[alpine nymph]

they will only take action if u recorded it

[astral glen]

Incorrect, we don’t moderate loot sharing issues

[peak basin]

Anyone have a recommendation for finding COFDMs? I've gone through the spawn rooms for them on the wiki on Reserve repeatedly and got nothing to show.

Kinda starting to feel like banging my head against the wall.

[alpine nymph]

labyrinth

[alpine nymph]

i misread, thought he got team killed

[peak basin]

Well poop. I guess it's time to suffer!

loads up M60 with minotaur slaying intent

[alpine nymph]

ah yes m60 my favorite bullet

[peak basin]

Bullet hose you mean?

[alpine nymph]

brother dont take that shit into labyrinth

[peak basin]

Why not? I'm on PvE and overflowing with cash.

[alpine nymph]

oh pve gamer lol

[peak basin]

I find it more fun tbh

[alpine nymph]

thats what they all say

[peak basin]

I get people like the intensity of PvP, and more power to them, but I'm not a fan.

Possibly because I'm a human, and humans generally aren't designed to move air around like a fan is.

[alpine nymph]

i mean if ur casual its fine i guess but my love of the game is the challenge

[peak basin]

And I hope you enjoy the challenge.

[alpine nymph]

i dont see the point grinding for kappa if ur just farming ai

makes it feel meaningless to me

[peak basin]

Anything's meaningless if you think too hard.

That's why I don't :D My brain too smooth. All thoughts slide right off.

Like a water slide :D

[warped acorn]

its an ak, ofc u can haha

[worldly quartz]

How do I make solo tarkov not so boring?

[undone drum]

what are you bored about?

at what time are you bored, when you play

[worldly quartz]

Im js bored about the whole thing rlly im bored like from 5 minutes to I load in to when im exfiled

[undone drum]

lighthouse scav water treatment plant
rogues aren´t engaging you, if you keep your distance and there are 21 spots, where cofdm can spawn as loose loot

[undone drum]

i have 2nd monitor where i watch youtube
and i lift and do body weight excersices when waiting

[worldly quartz]

I could try the YouTube thing

[slender plover]

Found mine in lighthouse, duffels and the rare spawns iirc

rb-pkpts on reserve

[bold kernel]

if a play agro light keepr gruads while im there is he gonna shoot me?

[vital fog]

anyone with reserve's marked keys? i need WIRELESS military radio or something like that

[weary meteor]

Lighthouse is also a option

[vital fog]

i tried, it spawns even lower amount than reserve..

[lament isle]

Hi, may i ask, how to not get spawn kill in light house? I dont even know where im standing, ty

[midnight ingot]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Lighthouse#Interactive_Map
click filters, deselect everything, select pmc spawns, if you want a general idea of where everyone spawns

that + playing more of the map and having experience of where everone spawns and where not to go at the beginning of raid, stuff like that

[lament isle]

I mean, i dont even know where i am since im so new to the map, it took me a while to look around everytime in other maps, but this time, i died before i can do that 🙂

[vital fog]

took me like 5 tries to survive 1 try at first

[lament isle]

Im here for the punisher part 4

[midnight ingot]

you can always do practice raids and just run around the map with AI disabled so you can actually explore

[lament isle]

Now i know why people hate this map

[lament isle]

Oh, nice, i did not know that

[weary meteor]

Its not that bad

Just get used to spawning close to ppl on a long straight

[lament isle]

Oh yeah, i want to do punisher part 4 here, may i ask any tips to hunt pmc?

Beside spawn kill

[weary meteor]

Alot of people go chalet and the houses below

You can find some pmcs there for sure

Or people camping sniper rock

[lament isle]

Ok, naisu, thank u for the tip, i will do that, have a nice day bro

[weary meteor]

Gl on punisher

[lament isle]

Oh, that place got scav too, naisu, i can do both

[lament isle]

Ty

[weary meteor]

Yes its so you can do both same time

Yep

[arctic linden]

what mid range sight i should use for nvg?

[undone drum]

midrange like what?
1-8 x

[arctic linden]

1-6 or 1-4x

lpvo basically

[tidal lagoon]

razor or vudu

all lpvos will have a dark like tint tho when using them w nvgs

harder to see at 1x with a lpvo than red dot or holo

[manic sable]

vudu isnt very good with nvgs imo

[arctic linden]

so just the holos and red dots don't have that dark tint?

[tidal lagoon]

basically anything that isnt a scope

[arctic linden]

aight thanks for the help

[tidal lagoon]

i find it equal to other scopes with nvgs

holos better but then u dont get the range anymore

[kindred grotto]

vudu red reticle is so bright w nvgs

gotta use razor

[tidal lagoon]

dont think mine is bright really

[old terrace]

best way to find gold skull rings i need 2 more and havent found any for days

[kindred grotto]

safes

[manic sable]

safes or valuable spawns

found a few in violet, yellow and black on labs

[kindred grotto]

id go resort

3 safes many valuable spawns

[old terrace]

Ok ill try more safes and resort aint good enough for labs xD

thanks 🙂

HOW TO FIX ? i try to verify integrity but not fix

[faint kayak]

Go to Windows Sound Settings > Recording > Properties of your mic > Advanced and uncheck "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device".

Also try Windows Settings > Privacy & security > Microphone and ensure "Let desktop apps access your microphone" < Turn it ON

U dont use some kind of splitter or virtual cable app do you?

[mystic blaze]

I've been using FXSOUND, but even this morning I was playing normally. Then I updated it just now, and when I try to play, this happens.

[faint kayak]

Ok since you updated FXSound it might have reset your default audio device can you make sure your mic is the default audio device in the windows audio < recording tab and not fx?

It says initialization failed but no device available so check that first, process of elimination here

[mystic blaze]

i restart my pc and stay working normal sorry for the convinient

[faint kayak]

No problem channel here for it, have fun

[fiery moat]

what are the differences guys? this is the same craft for all arena cases, why would anyone do the first one when the second one is 5x faster and doesnt require the other tools

[undone drum]

no diff

[brisk gust]

16gb ddr5 with 7600-7800x3d
Or 32gb ddr4 with 3900x/5700x both with 3070 ?

[hidden seal]

for tarkov 32 GB ram

16 GB will simply work badly a lot of time

streets is almost unplayable with 16 GB

[brisk gust]

Yeah but it’s so expensive

What about 24gb

Theoretically

[hidden seal]

will work already ok

with 32 you can play tarkov and leve browser openw ith stuff. with 24, you might want jsut to limit other stuff running on background a bit

[brisk gust]

And what CL rating should I get

Cl30-32 used to be meta but now with the prices

[hidden seal]

that makes much less effect than people think. CL makes huge difference in artificial benchmarks but much less on real use cases. imho search which works better with your Motherboard

[brisk gust]

I wanted to get a b650 eagle ax

[kindred grotto]

upper with 32 gigs

because am5 and the better cpu

future proof

[astral glen]

X3D and 32GB RAM otherwise you’ll regret spending the money and be sad

[cobalt meteor]

anyone know whatsup with gunsmith p3?

[astral glen]

There’s nothing “up” with it

If you can’t hand in the gun you have not met the specifications

[cobalt meteor]

im .048 too heavy cant hand it in..

[astral glen]

The EFT Wiki has guides for how to build every gunsmith weapon to hand it in, follow that and it will work

[cobalt meteor]

I followed that guide exactly

[astral glen]

Sorry but no you didn’t

You overlooked something

[woeful spruce]

Give us the screenshot, i love these puzzles

[grizzled latch]

ok

is the game dying or only me because i cant get in I couldn't load flea earlier too

[cobalt meteor]

I just finished it, apparently there was some rail on top of the gun, removed tbl and used a different one instead

[vital pelican]

quick question if anyone knows
Do you get insurance back from terminal? i'm about to do my first run and i don't know if you get it back if you die

[astral glen]

You don't lose anything from Terminal

If you die or escape it doesn't matter, your gear is as it was before you entered

[unique mantle]

just the key

[vital pelican]

oh dang thanks for that i didn't know

if i use the C4 do i still keep it then?

[astral glen]

You could throw every single item off your character and disconnect, and you will be back on the main menu with all of it equipped

[vital pelican]

thanks!

[ocean heart]

Hiya, I have a quick question regaring the transfer of arena skins to tarkov - I've played my way up to the skeleton longsleeve on the tactical map (and equipped it on arena) but when I try to equip it on PVE it doesn't show up on my available pieces of clothing. I've recently reset my account, is it tied to not having unlocked ref yet?

I've tried checking both at Ragman and the overall tab so any help would be greatly appreciated :3

[wicked gale]

i got 100h and lvl 22 looking for somebody to run tasks with

[crude tinsel]

what do I do with all of those?

[manic sable]

sell

[manic sable]

not sure but is it possible they only show up on pvp?

[elfin sinew]

if you plan to prestige, then you will need some of them

[crude tinsel]

yeah I do.

[elfin sinew]

Search up the quest "a new beginning"

For p1 they dont need to be FIR so can just buy off flea when ur gonna prestige

[hearty turret]

im mostly lost on all of the maps even when looking at pictures of the maps

any great way to get a handle on where you're at

[silent sage]

Maps are a good way to learn, but if you really dont know, you can practice raids on offline mode to get a general idea of whats happening

[hearty turret]

offline mode can i just run around or are there scavs and other stuff still around on the map to kill me ?

[silent sage]

you can disable scavs

[cloud basin]

OMFG the beeping of the lvl 3 gen is gonna make me go crazy

[thorny whale]

is there any super efficient way to make money? i go to interchange almost every scav raid for that outside camp but only 100k at max. sometimes i dont even spawn close enought to go there. are there any other good ways to make money?

[humble otter]

Find dead bodies, loot up bigger backpacks and rigs and fill em up. Over time you’ll learn what items are worth the most

I used to stash run on customs but thats a personal preference

A lot of player will say streets is good for scav runs

[fathom kernel]

Are yall servers working normally?

[cloud basin]

where the hell do i got for packs of chlorine

theres always so many until i need them

[alpine nymph]

i think med supply crates have a lot

[crimson thicket]

Go streets. It prints money

[glass atlas]

find a scav run you are comfortable with where you can survive consistently, jsut use youtube to find them. and i like to have tarkov market up so I can check what items are worth keeping if i dont recognise them. I'd say aim for at least 15k per slot until you are full, then just start replacing the cheapest items with whatveer you find thats higher. I make minimum 400k every shoreline scav raid i do, just hitting the villages, and theres so many duffles and jackets Ive found marked keys, gpus, bitcoins etc. so on average a run probably makes me close to 700k.

[worldly quartz]

Why do scavs aimbot me thru windows man

[brisk gust]

Im asking while having the Crisis in mind

[torn rapids]

good luck being worse than me

[kindred grotto]

im aware

still am5 chip always

you can go 32gigs later

[torn rapids]

you can still find them (Rare)

[full rain]

Thanks

[wary timber]

Tend to find em on scavs and drawers

[grizzled glade]

anyone wanna help me with beneath the streets task?

[bold elbow]

I'm so tired of trying to solo streets (just started doing it without people) and rnadomly exploding on mines. I look around carefully for signs, I've tried finding maps online, and I just walk into a place that looks safe and randomly explode, always die first hit. Is there something I can do to make this not completely stupid and not worth doing? which excludes my current strategy of just running around like a maroon dying till I memorize where they are?

[rough mantle]

They are arround the lexos car dealership

[bold elbow]

I am not sure where that is, I looked it up earlier and I think it's near Pinewood? I'm pretty sure I was well south and maybe a little West of that, though I'm not 100%

maybe that's on one of the maps, my apologies. Frustrated but not really looking to be annoying or pander for hand holding. I'll look. Thanks Stark!

[hollow vine]

streets is the worst map ....

[hollow vine]

im either getting aimbotted to the head with a grenade launcher or blowing up too mines hahha

[bold elbow]

so far it's my least favorite second to reserve, where I invariably die scav or pmc to bosses that are right behind innocuous looking doors I walk past 🙂 Man that grinds my gears.

[bold elbow]

soooo real sir, sooo real!

[hollow vine]

yah reserve is a bitch too especially with the bosses and the shitty evacs but i prefer it sooo much over streets ... i sort of figured out bunker pretty well so im not hating on reserve as much hah

[rough mantle]

Jhon i sent you dm that might help

[bold elbow]

man I'm probably 0/5 successful solo raids on reserve and maybe 5/15 on streets, so it's sort of the opposite but very much the same

[bold elbow]

you're a gentleman and a scholar sir, that does help significantly

[bold elbow]

I notice you didn't post that here where everyone can see, and I'm a big fan of helping the community out. So if anyone wants really good help on avoiding the mines on Streets, you can send me ten dollars and I'll help you out!

[hollow vine]

i have some great maps man for streets but it still wont help lol your going to be invading mines then a boss or guard will kill you when not looking hah

[bold elbow]

my license plate on the back of my chest rig says 'pincushion' so it all works out in the end I guess

[rough mantle]

Im unsure if i can send links here

[bold elbow]

hahah just totally screwing around man it's all good. Being ironic. Like having a spoon when I want a fork or a car but having a use for a truck

[rough mantle]

[bold elbow]

hahahaha

[rough mantle]

Dont you explode on me no more

Cya arround mate

[bold elbow]

I will do my best, thank you again for your help -- catch you on a flip side

I got told this is the last quest I can do for skier (in this quest line) to get the good ending, im just double checking, is that true? I swear I did this for the BTR driver not too long ago

[west python]

Since when did this exsist

[flat osprey]

Since 1.0

[west python]

is it worth it?

[bold elbow]

its just for Collector

so if you want to do Collector then yes definitely, and if not thendefinitely not, seems to me 🙂 I hauled one out

[flat osprey]

its great for leveling strength

without a tank battery which weighs 60kg

[bold elbow]

and takes up 8 slots? 10? you're not wrong at all

[flat osprey]

tank takes up 8 slots

that takes up 4

[flat osprey]

8 or 6 actually

and it also costs ~1 mil compared to ~50k

soo yeah ik what id take to level strength lol

[flat osprey]

how long will i have to wait until BTR offers me the battery change quest? i completed prapors prior task, then went into woods but BTR didnt have Battery Change available?

[bold kernel]

soo its my first time tranfer stuff from arena to Escape From Tarkov and it says (TO UPDATE) 16:14:45
is that the time limit till i can transfer again?

[lyric bone]

In PVE, if i go night will AI pmcs have NVGs?

[alpine nymph]

Brother nobody brings a tank battery to level strength just bring shotgun shells or kolpaks and drop them after the first couple of minutes

[wicked orchid]

anyone know what the blank RFID keycard is?

does it matter what aspect ratio u play on?

[rigid stratus]

Looking for somoene that can help me with streets tasks

[verbal dagger]

Yo how do I give the dog tags to prapor for the unlocking reserve task like it won’t prompt me

[flat osprey]

doesnt it cause a greater point increase when you do so? ie, the more overweight the better?

[astral glen]

Need to have done the part of Tour where you use the Terminal intercom and then survive and extract and then visit him to hand them in

[verbal dagger]

I interacted with the intercom and extracted then I failed the learn how to escape tarkov thing

[astral glen]

Yeah that’s meant to happen

[hearty flare]

anyone trying to play

[verbal dagger]

So what do I do now

[astral glen]

Visit Prapor and select the dialogue option to hand them in (you must have them all ready, you can’t partially hand them in)

[unique geyser]

Not for a few years, it's just overweight status and the exp caps after x amount of times. The distance sprinting in a single sprint also affects it so sj-6 and minimum overweight status for maximum effect.

A tank battery or other heavy weight items are counterproductive for the gains.

[buoyant echo]

How do I unlock the mechanic one ?

[alpine nymph]

no

[kind brook]

anyone experienced at going to see the lightkeeper doing story and im currently trying to get there

[flat osprey]

damn that fuckin blows. wasted a lotttt of time then 😭

[alpine nymph]

the wiki is free

its a good tool

i suggest you use it and not make assumptions

all that time you wasted couldve been saved by doing a 5 second google search and 20 seconds of reading if that

[rigid stratus]

Looking for anyone that can help me with Streets tasks

[unique geyser]

Is not an assumption, it's a tip on old videos from the old system and some know youtubers still think this is how it works so it gets circulated in some "new player" guides to this day.

That is why I replied with the clarification, better to just spread the knowledge after major patches, lots of people miss 1-3 wipes come back and massive changes are left unlearnt.

[alpine nymph]

With how often things change in this game it is an assumption, same way it would be an assumption that the recoil hasn’t changed over the years. The wiki has up to date information it’s not difficult to use.

[unique geyser]

The wiki has frequently been cited as not having up to date pages from time to time and each patch can take a while to update even though the changes are in patch notes (weeks sometimes) which means thats an assumption too.

If you wanna say someone has to do something point your gun at BSG for being dev #3243242 that doesn't contain basic info ingame.

They also are known for having a large portion of their patch not in the patch notes making knowledge like the headset changes a year back something you have to rely on youtubers for as the wiki contains no information on some specifics.

[astral glen]

Such as?

[unique geyser]

I remember a big controversial one which is when death mask was changed to ragman level 4 + a certain quest and the wiki didn't have the quest for a full month listed as to what unlocked it. That's right off top of my head in 0.1s, this stuff happens.

Also the tarkov devs did not list the change from lightkeeper to ragman ro what quest so nobody knew for a while outside of small groups that learnt it early before it was knowledge.

[astral glen]

You know the wiki is information added by the community right?

[unique geyser]

You just asked for an example of when a wiki page didn't contain the info for a while, I provided one wich can be easily googled to see it was a hugely searched thing for a month and a question being answered. Nobody had done the questline/ragman 4 to get it.

Idk what the rest of your point is, just answering your question.

[astral glen]

You’re being disingenuous though

[unique geyser]

No you asked for an example I provided one, if you're looking to argue dw, I'm not autistic enough for that, I'll leave you to it.

[astral glen]

The wiki took that long to update (18 days to be specific I just checked the changelog) because the wipe had just happened and no one had reached Lightkeeper and unlocked it yet

The wiki can’t know information that isn’t known

[runic sigil]

why cant i complete my part 3 arena

[unique geyser]

Literally what I said, I don't know why you're trying to argue, just a combatitive person IG as you can't even see we're on the same page.

Go look at headsts on the wiki, tell me the audio ranges, it is listed in youtube videos though. (with proof)

[astral glen]

No I am not looking to argue I am just looking to correct what you said, because it’s not being entirely truthful

[unique geyser]

Idk saying Youtubers have no place is a weird statement, I'm up to date on everything because sourcing information that is verifiable from everywhere is good lol

[astral glen]

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

[unique geyser]

This changes with weight, certain materials are louder than others etc. (None of this listed in the wiki)

Sound is something that the wiki dares not touch as it's so weird in Tarkov anyway.

[astral glen]

If you would like to create more in depth tables you are free to edit the wiki yourself, that’s the point of it, it’s community information sourcing, if you feel like you can provide helpful information it’s your duty to do so

[unique geyser]

Nah I'm good, a youtube video is better as it can showcase much more information more quickly, example would be with headsets, interchange is a wildly interesting map as Comtac 4 can hear from overground to underground where other headsets cannot, niche info like this can be listed very quickly in videos, I'll stick to them which is again why I source information from everywhere, efficiency is also key.

[astral glen]

I am not discussing YouTube videos at all

[unique geyser]

Well specifically with headsets, some info is ofc much easier to take if in text format (ammo pen etc)

[astral glen]

I’m just discussing the EFT Wiki

And its purpose as a source of information

[unique geyser]

Nah I also do not think its my duty to do anything, I help people in the VC from time to time and beginners who DM me for help, I'll stick to that.

Also I come here like earlier to describe how weight -> exp works because also the wiki doesn't list this properly either lol

It has about 75% of the picture but misses how sprint distance in one sprint actually impacts the exp gains massively and SJ-6 can be used as a tip for leveling strength + overweight in a map like shoreline for very fast powerleveing (basically everyone who does kappa etc does this)

[astral glen]

As I said, if you have useful information, you may edit the Wiki at your own leisure and do the community a service and aid new players that way, that’s all

[unique geyser]

There is more but I'm not gonna sit here overloading beginners assistance, if a newb wants to go into more detail though they can always DM me and I can go into full depth

[unique geyser]

Nah I'm good, I help in my own way, I advise everyone do this more, help newbs out 1-1, it is way better help.

Go into raids with them, the full sherpa experience

[astral glen]

Have you considered becoming an actual Sherpa?

[unique geyser]

Nah I like to do things on my own terms, never read into how a Sherpa works but if people need help it is easy finding them here, I've helped too many people I lost count now, also the voice chats are always full of noobs looking for help and they screenshare so helping them with anything is super easy

This chat exists which is a really helpful channel tbh, I do not think it existed when i was a noob or I just don't remember seeing it, but it is a great concept.

[astral glen]

This channel has existed for like 7 years

[solar gull]

I reset me pve account but when i started playing again i didnt recieve the secured stash container and other items i received with my initial purchase..anyone have insight ?

[unique geyser]

Yeah I think I didn't notice. Shame, helpful place, seen tons of good info shared here

[astral glen]

Can you explain a bit more please? This sounds very wrong

[solar gull]

I hadnt wiped my pve character since 1.0 ..did so a couple days ago and i dont have my bigger secure case or other items that came with the game

All i got was the crates i earned from the twitch event...im back to a beta pouch

[astral glen]

Yeah this sounds very wrong

Haven’t heard of this happening to anyone

What game edition do you have?

[solar gull]

Its happening to me lol

1 down from the most expensive option

[astral glen]

And what container do you have?

You said beta I just saw

Beta is correct

You are meant to have that container

Gamma is Unheard edition

[solar gull]

The other items didnt come through though..my stash was almost empty yil i opened the twitch crates

[astral glen]

It sounds to me like you’re just expecting more than you should have

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/support/knowledge/536

[solar gull]

Not quite

thanks anyway

[buoyant trail]

yo i just completed the BTR task "asking questions" and its been 72 hours and i still dont have another task for the btr. Anyone know why???

[astral glen]

I do not know any task by this name

Do you mean Ask for Directions?

[buoyant trail]

im dumb yes

[astral glen]

The next task is from Ragman, not the BTR Driver

[buoyant trail]

oh waitt i see,

[slender plover]

Brothers it’s been a wild night

Should I just try to do test drive 1 on factory

[olive rune]

If you feel confident try it

[slender plover]

More confident than other maps has

[olive rune]

Then go ahead, if it turns out to just not working, you can still adjust stuff

[slender plover]

kek i killed tagilla took his stuff and his gun jammed as im killing scavs on my way to exit

died to a pscav

[calm valley]

how do i lock vc and change how many people can join?

[latent cipher]

#lfg-info message

[undone drum]

ask here maybe #pve-chat

[undone drum]

checked tarkov wiki?
just google rfid keycard

[undone drum]

solved?

[undone drum]

google
tarkov wiki HE greande
It will tell you what quest you have to do to unlock

[undone drum]

its faster to edit wiki then to make a youtube video

this info about comtac 4s. do you have a source? how does that work actually?

[undone drum]

wiki actually says exactly that

cheers to you for helping beginners mister!

[light stag]

unpopular opinion I don’t even like comtacs

[lofty knot]

comtacs are the greatest

[buoyant echo]

I already searched it before, no source on how to unlock the mechanic one

I already unlocked the peacekeeper but dunno how to unlocked the mechanic one

[undone drum]

check the red banner on top 🙂

[buoyant echo]

Aint no way why is it not showing on mine

thanks btw

[undone drum]

can you send a link

[buoyant echo]

It's probably the same link

[mellow lion]

just loaded into streets for the first time and my fps was between 3-6, any way to fix this or I just cant play this map? (already turned on low texture for streets settings)

[rough mantle]

I believe its from an old quest that no longer exists, they just never removed the reward

You can only get the nades with worst/best job in the world

You were allready answered, didnt see mb

[mellow matrix]

whats ur pc specs

[mellow lion]

HP Victus 16-d0xx laptop, 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400H, 16gb ram, 3050 Ti laptop gpu

funnily enough i got into a fight with 2 scavs and nearly died but managed to kill them and stop bleeding then game crashed, when I reconnected(took 7 and a half minutes), the game fps was fixed and playable but I had 15hp left and only had stomach and legs left. Luckily I was near car extract and got out

[light pagoda]

16gb ram + laptop. hmm

[mellow lion]

reconnected and had 50-60 fps

[hidden seal]

still streets is rought for 16GB

streets use a lot of memory

[mellow matrix]

okay then it shouldn't be a pc issue as much

might be the RAM but

[mellow lion]

worked better when I rejoined

I'll leave this map for when I can play on my desktop

[weak reef]

where should i go to get food?

[lyric bone]

I did, no response

[light pagoda]

which map?

[mellow lion]

is lighthouse as intense as streets to run or similar to the other maps?

[twilit ginkgo]

Lighthouse is alot easier than streets imo but the spawns on that map and the way the play plays out is kinda ass because of how shit the spawns are imo

[torn rapids]

I personally had issues with lighthouse in the past

Not much this wipe

[twilit ginkgo]

so the map is shit but when you learn the layout of it its not too bad

[mellow lion]

as in fps/performance wise

[twilit ginkgo]

fps lightouse is better but in terms of like actual like gameplay wise streets

[fiery moat]

shturman just dropped ts, i didnt know he used a sniper other than svd

[torn rapids]

Yeah he uses different guns now

[fiery moat]

crazy gun tbh, onetaps lvl4 thorax easily

and its a dmr

but cannot be bought on flea so that checks out, i think its gonna sit in my weapon rack for a long while,alongside mcx spears for the same reason, how tf am i gonna get ammo for this

[fiery moat]

found out theres another ammo for the gun which onetaps level 5 thorax too

[warped acorn]

guys new player here, quick q about the survey, I did not play any of the events actually mentioned there except the very last one

what do I answer there?

[olive rune]

Whatever u want tbh

If u want u can ask a friend who played it, so u could submit a “real” answer

[delicate abyss]

You could just choose a random one

[kindred grotto]

should one tap, but realistically doesent

because armor and bullets are so fucked

funny enough that gun costs 80k w the barter

[steady canyon]

Can you go back to terminal after you've completed it to help a freind?

[warped acorn]

nah im good, I just put that "I can't answer this q" (last option)

[torn rapids]

no

[warped acorn]

Why do I need to go to 3rd party websites to learn maps? Why in-game maps you can buy are outdated and horribly detailed?

[torn rapids]

Ask bsg

[tidal lagoon]

they probably decided they cba to make actually good maps in game now that everyone uses 3rd party maps anyways

[warped acorn]

some of them even have premium features you need to donate money to use

[tidal lagoon]

ye well those are dumb

just use the wiki and it has all u need

[olive rune]

Tarkov Wiki got some outdated maps no?

Streets for example

At least the 2d maps

[lyric narwhal]

i have a question, me and my friend are trying to play a coop offline to practice and all that. But i dont know what expansion or what do i have to buy. i've read that i need a couple different expansions that doesnt exist anymore?

[olive rune]

Could be wrong but I think coop offline is only available for EoD (not available anymore) and unheard

But I don’t checked again

[lyric narwhal]

damn, so i cant play coop offline ?

[hidden seal]

coop offile is only practice mode.

To play the whole game, with tasks and PMC etc.. offlien on coop you need PVE dlc

[lyric narwhal]

yea yea, i have the pve. But im trying to get better at pvp and i thought offline with friends would both help and be fun

[shrewd python]

yea idk why they removed that expansion

prob to get people to buy pve

[shrewd python]

arena is pretty good for PvP practice

[fiery moat]

arena is very good to aid the progress in tarkov if ur struggling with levels or maybe a little bit of cash(still, u would make way more playing tarkov itself but arena is just an icing on cake 500k a day) BUT arena pvp is different from tarkov pvp. not the mechanics,but the circumstances

[lyric narwhal]

i see

[fiery moat]

no matter the game mode,even on blastgang and teamfight, arena pvp is way faster in pace compared to actual tarkov gameplay
