[modest prawn]

Im pretty new so I cant like really tell but did the game like get laggier? It feels like the last update made my graphics worse and the game laggier..? Is there a tutorial fix to this stuff? It feels like my trees are mush

[toxic trench]

yall been runnin into cheaters lately? istg theres been so many in my raids just full running at

[slender plover]

I had one in labs today

A lot of people use soft cheats though

[distant field]

any tips on doing set up?

[signal ferry]

use flachette or .50bmg depend on yours prefer

you can rush fighting sound or ambush around high traffic area

if you can get ap20 it can help a lot

[sharp fiber]

I got all my setup kills done with mp-18 buy or find t4 ammo and just sit and pop heads. That gun forces you to be more careful and consistent with your shots since its a single shot rifle.

[earnest trench]

I win matches on Arena and it does not validate, why ? https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/To_Great_Heights!_-_Part_2

[barren stump]

When looking at a map online at the scav spawns. Are they spawns for the player only scavs or are those for the Ai controlled scavs also?

[ancient furnace]

PVE anyone know how to get PMC into office in factory to get a kill on them i have been just doing run throughs anything that can be used to get them to come over?

[crude tinsel]

[still flower]

guys can u wear armor while doing setup?

[tardy dragon]

I did not finish my dailies the other day and I got the next days dailies after the 24 hours but then I got another 24 hours to do the last days dailies that I failed so I had double dailies? How did this happen? What triggered it? I could not find much online about it. I completed a daily from the day before and one of the new dailies.

[long talon]

Guys, im doing Swift One. It says kill pmc without using armor or helmet.. Correct me if im wrong. It means i still can use armor... but without helmet ??

[vocal mist]

You are wrong, you mustn't have either while making the kills. You can wear the stuff in your raid and only unequip it when you are going to shoot someone though

[long talon]

👌

[hazy dagger]

can someone please help me to learn streets of tarkov? i have around 90 hours on the game but not a lot of gear. I have played other extract games before

[frigid sigil]

I normally use the giant ass mountain in the middle of the map as a reference point

[vivid crest]

isnt the middle just a pond

[wary dock]

Can take your bottle of water to 1 and refill it

[hollow vessel]

Does anybody know a fix on how to get tour Ground Zero to stop bugging.. It won’t unlock my therapist and I’m just hard stuck on that map with no traders being available.

[tidal lagoon]

I mean right now the game is down for an update

[hollow vessel]

Tried everything clearing game, cash, checking integrity . Complete reinstalls

[tidal lagoon]

that update also includes a bunch of fixes for main story questline

[hollow vessel]

Was doing it yesterday during day

Games going back in the vault for another fucking year if it does it in am lol

[undone drum]

[dire hawk]

Is there any way to fight othee timmys in area or am i gonna have to grind for these ref quests

[tepid arrow]

I have my lean keys on hold and but reversed so lean left is e and right is q

[undone drum]

there is no way to choose your opponents

what are you struggling with exactly?

[worldly ferry]

found this as a new lvl 6 player on a scav

am i lucky and should i sell it ?

[tidal lagoon]

its for the main story but way later, I would probably sell it rn yea, ull find a new one later

[worldly ferry]

okayy thanks !

is it rare to find especially on a random scav i killed ?

[tidal lagoon]

in terms of the loot a scav usually drops yes its quite rare, but overall its not extremely rare to find that item

[worldly ferry]

okay thank you

[dire hawk]

Top 3 on team and winning

Like i cant leave spawn

Just losing eveey game 200-1250

[fleet harbor]

question does reinstalling the game do anything to my pve progress?

[astral glen]

All progress is saved on your account, not locally

[undone drum]

[dire hawk]

Arean i wanna be able to transfer money atp

Idc abt theta

[idle smelt]

do you know why my game wont start

only Arena issue

[scarlet sparrow]

Is there any counterplay to getting flash shotgunned? It's actually been my past 2 deaths in a row somehow, and both time it was a duo where I literally did kill the guy with the shotgun as he flashed me but naturally his duo cleans up the kill. Like it kinda feels like I played well in that I was able to kill the person in front of me without him killing me because he was using a flashbang round and not a lethal one but like I can't even try to retreat because even if I kind of accurately retrace my steps into cover you're genuinely blind for like 30 seconds?

I'm kinda frustrated ngl

[long talon]

Why after update... after stuck at loading profile.... or when we disconnected and reconnect.. it take ages to go to screen.

[tidal lagoon]

no

[idle smelt]

got any idea about why Arena wont start bro

[scarlet sparrow]

:/

this game sucks sometimes

[tidal lagoon]

no sadly not

[tidal lagoon]

yea sometimes u can play perfectly and still die

but i wouldnt think too much about it, getting flash shotgunned is quite rare

cant even remember if it has happened to me

[scarlet sparrow]

yeah yesterday was literally the first time I encountered it

and then it happened twice in a row

im pretty sure there's literally like some paradox named after this

one was on factory and I lost my good times part 1 kit and the second was in labrynth where I had a full stack and mags of ppbs

not angry just genuinely sad about it

[cursive prawn]

interesting

[full lodge]

yo do i need to survive the shoreline raid for the traders to talk to me ? I have the 20K ready for Mechanic and the Dogtags for Prapor, but i cant hand it over to them

[iron vine]

Yes you need to do a shoreline raid

[green cypress]

is anybody else having trouble using refs service i have been able to use it before update and cant use it now is there something that changed with the update?

[elder dune]

Just got my summoning circle. Are there any profitable recipes I should know from the getgo?

[tidal lagoon]

??cultistcircle

[red thistle]

The cheapest confirmed circle recipes are all from Peacekeeper, here they are listed per trader level.
LL1 - 5 mp5's
LL2 - 2 MPX Suppressed #eft-chat message
LL3 - Flea dependent - G28 barter #eft-chat message (1 labs card)
LL4 - THOR IC armor⁠ #eft-chat message (1 sas drive)

[tidal lagoon]

which is quest/hideout items

if not 6hour ull get 14h high value items

there are also some one use recipes u can find on the wiki under hideout page

[weary sky]

[proven kernel]

i usually run 60-80 frames avg on most maps exept streets

[uneven tundra]

any begginers on EU servers wanna play?

[night shale]

smn wanna carry me througha raid

[amber glade]

THe combo to run a lot a the start of the raid is sj6 + meldonin + trimadol right?

[tardy girder]

Where do I find this?

[scarlet sparrow]

labrynth probably

but gl cuz there's like 50 different figurines you can find

[tardy girder]

Daamn

[tardy girder]

Any specific place?

[scarlet sparrow]

on top of surfaces

barrels and stuff

[crimson thicket]

You dont need the meldonin. Sj6 and trim will give you infinite run

[amber glade]

i remember last time i played this game meldonin was used quite a lot but i cant remember what for. I think it was to help carry more weight in addition to the mule

[torpid pumice]

I find alot on Interchange at the camp by Green Flare Ex

[faint kayak]

What the fuck is this item? I can't sell it on the flea and I can't discard it.

[amber glade]

[tidal lagoon]

[vital relic]

hi guys, singapore linked to singapore server still 250 ping? my router ran good tho

Hello! Who would like to play together, with me ?

[rare nova]

Anyone new need or want some help? I wanna help NEW players getting into the game. Not returning ones or vets. PVE only.

[cyan spindle]

Its my first wipe, around 100 hours, would like to play with someone, pvp

[molten latch]

Am I missing something, I’ve completed all relevant tasks and still not unlocked To Great Heights (LV13/PvP). Can anyone help? I’ve closed the game and reopened, still nothing

[molten latch]

Does this need completed first, then? Nowhere else mentioned this on YouTube or any forums I’ve read. Thanks, mate!

[tidal lagoon]

have you looked at the wiki

the patch dropped yesterday

wiki is 99% of the time the most up to date source

anything else should almost be ignored

[molten latch]

My bad, I didn’t check since the update. I did think this may be the case. Thanks again, noted for future. ♥️

[tidal lagoon]

u good bro

[molten latch]

U da man brother.

[short bay]

if someone disconnects from the tutorial, can they restart it?

[tidal lagoon]

🤷

[torpid pumice]

I believe it just skips the tutorial. There is no way to "re-do" it. You'll get everything that is in the tutorial anyways.

[short bay]

but they have the quest "escape from ground zero still open"

[torpid pumice]

Have they tried doing Ground Zero again? If yes then I'm not to sure

[short bay]

only one way to find out i gues..

google says offline raid works to "fix" the bug

or not lol

you literally have to escape gz like in a regular raid

wow 😄

you cant even ensure 😄

[nocturne geyser]

What you can do, every 3 weeks. is a complete wipe of your account, restoring you to pre tutorial where you can play it again and starting gear/ etc

it also reset your player stats though i believe

It does, aside from time played it looks like a complete wipe.i just did it because i got quest bugged

[short bay]

why would they reset their account, they just got the game. Why would most players do that?

qust bugs, yeah i can understand that one though

[nocturne geyser]

yeah im saying if they care that much for the tutorial you can reset.. being at the beginning it makes little difference? unless you think maybeyou would want to save to use that reset sometime in the next 3 weeks, just answering the question with what information i had

i guess the short answer would be no, you can't just restart tutorial i dont think

[cinder coral]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[fleet harbor]

can someone please explain what error 104006 is and how to solve it? cause tarkov is apparently garbage at installing itself and im doing it for the 4th time now

[rare nova]

Anyone new need help or just wanna play ? Pve only.

[silver falcon]

How can u get the "against the conscience" quest? the wiki just says "???"

[astral glen]

Please see the Arena patch notes, the task lines were changed and new tasks were added

[candid dragon]

hey im trying to learn the game im playing pve i saw overlays to help out are they allowed since i am playing pve ?

[silver falcon]

thing is, i have done these tasks long ago, and i should get "against the conscience part 1" after completing "create distraction part 1"

[astral glen]

You’re misunderstanding

The Ref tasklines were changed alot yesterday

You need to just do his tasks

[astral glen]

Definitely not, they are against the rules

[silver falcon]

aight, well the patchnotes mentioned just the "great heights" taskline, so i thought it would be irrelevant for me

[astral glen]

No it says more than that, that is only for those who were on those specific tasks

Ref has a bunch of new tasks and some of his old tasks had their objectives changed up too

You’ll need to just go and complete what he’s offering you

[weary tulip]

Where can I buy the gems to skip the upgrade timer on my generator so I can upgrade my townhall already

i listed 2 quests

[misty jungle]

not a beginner but trying to do terminal and it seems like all the black division ai has been changed. In the armory portion they all rush immediately before i even get my gear when i do nothing to aggro and in the section (long hall with all the boxes and stuff) past the keycard instead of the two groups of two i got rushed by 6-8 of them. Any advice?

[gentle monolith]

no. I deleted my epsilon by accident and talked to bsg support who say they don't recover deleted items either

[dense steeple]

shit

im doing fallen ending and i need to hand in a case im using the theta so

i have to go through punisher

[safe elk]

Reset your profile if you want it back

[worn crag]

did they improve AI or sum bro

ts is aids im getting one tapped from across lighthouse by scavs w adars

[zinc geyser]

which of these handguards is the best for loot goblining

[safe elk]

It’s not worth the hassle

[zinc geyser]

i.e. putting them onto the gas tube to make them 1x1 and putting them into secure container so you can inhale attachments without fear of losing them

[safe elk]

Just don’t bother

[zinc geyser]

im goblinmaxxing help me out

[safe elk]

Attachments are cheap and with the meta changes the best ones are somehow some of the cheapest from traders

It’s literally just not worth it

[zinc geyser]

money

just extra money

[safe elk]

Like I said, it’s just not worth it

[zinc geyser]

also i find it very weird that these all have basically the same rail length and yet only the ov gp can take full sized scopes

and at the same time the ov gp cant take most grips

and for some reason you cant put a rail on the bottom even though you can put a rail on the side

completely arbitrary

literal same connection mechanism

[safe elk]

Thanks for letting us know

[random yoke]

PVE question, but does anybody know how often raiders spawn in the command bunker on reserve, im pretty sure the power switch spawns them too right??

[smoky hemlock]

hello, some questions for chemical part 4, it says failure to complete is 0.25 rep for skier, but prapor and therapist both gave me a task related to chem part 4 and failure to complete for their side is -0.25 rep as well, does that mean i can only complete the quest for one trader and lose -0.25 for the others?

and if so which task should i pursue?

[slender plover]

I think theyve made labs worse

[glad birch]

they made the whole fucking game worse

[tidal lagoon]

check wiki it has all info ull need regarding the choices and regaining the rep

[smoky hemlock]

i checked already but they didnt rlly tell me how t regain rep or any of that just explained the premise of the task

[tidal lagoon]

check which tasks it leads to, thats how u regain the rep

[smoky hemlock]

ok

[serene spade]

what am i missing?

[serene spade]

Ohh i didn't know they get calculated together im new to this

ty

[safe elk]

no worries

[safe elk]

for gunsmith tasks I'd reccomend just following the guides on the wiki

[serene spade]

i would but the patch that came just now changed a lot of things

[safe elk]

wiki should be updated

oh k

No I was mid map customs as a scav and got smoked and fell threw the map

why does repairing the game take so long? 5 percent in an hour

how rare are the cultist and best map to try to find em?

[hoary nova]

So i'm trying to level up REF by playing arena for the first time. How hard is this bro... Gaming for 20 years and this arena thing is boiling my blood.

[paper surge]

Anyone else here having issues with super long load times when launching the game?

[echo sonnet]

Mannn arena feels so different to normal tarkov i was excited to play the free pass i got for it but ngl im not a huge fan of it

[humble otter]

Like how long are we talking?

[paper surge]

like 5min of the circle just spinning

[humble otter]

Like every time or only this ones?

[paper surge]

with the new update its been this way
Usually 2min after launch im good in the past

[humble otter]

So only one time?

Or every time today?

If it only happened one time today then I’d just alt-f4. If it happens every time you start up the game you might wanna check your performance and type your issue in #community-support

[hoary nova]

for real. Cant get a single win of CPT for the quest...

[agile jolt]

yo guys where is it? customs or interchange?

[kindred parcel]

if there is a way to help my loading times i need it NOW

I HAVE BEEN SYNCRONIZING FOR 30 MINUTES

[tidal lagoon]

😂 bro altf4

ur shit is fucked

[kindred parcel]

Well wish i saw that message cause i didnt and i let it wait and instead of putting the reconnect menu it just sent me to the main menu with everything gone

[tidal lagoon]

u prolly would have lsot everything anyways tbh

[thick hare]

what servers are you connecting to? the moon?

[kindred parcel]

well didnt know that buzz aldrin took the us east servers to the moon

[scarlet sparrow]

so nice of bsg to give me 400 gp coin for no reasona nd let me do the entire ref questline again for even more rewards lmao

idk why they did that

but I'll take it

[scarlet sparrow]

why would you even let it get that long?

always alt f4 if it goes over like 5 minutes or whatever is abnormal for you and just reconnect

[kindred parcel]

well im still quite new and unexpierienced in the logistical portion of this game so i was unaware and most of the times it does take longer then five minutes i wait like 2 more and im in or it puts the reconnect menu up for me to join back

[scarlet sparrow]

for me it takes 3 minutes almost always

I haven't had the infinite loading this wipe yet though

back then 7 minutes was my sign to alt f4

[latent hare]

Hey can someone confirm this is the right way to upgrade edition, as there as a ton of negative reviews on steam about this, but they all seem user error.

I bought the base game on Steam. I have not linked any account, I use the login with steam on both website and launcher and have the autogenerated profile name. I intend to upgrade to unheard. To do that I will simply do login with steam on the website and then purchase the unheard edition upgrade?

[tidal lagoon]

try sending a message in #community-support

[latent hare]

Thanks, will do.

[uneven umbra]

i NEED money and I just got a lot of good shit from a raid, is any of this worth saving and putting in my junk box at pmc level 9 or should I just sell to traders

[cinder coral]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[fathom bough]

sell everything

[fathom bough]

can even sell the fridge its useless unless youre collecting food for no reason

[placid tree]

woah man

I like fridge

[stiff cedar]

Sell all of it. Keep the fire steel if you want though, you need it for the Fence quest Collector much later down the line if you're going to go for Kappa

[ebon oyster]

gracias dorms marked room

[deft niche]

if anyone wanna help me learn the game join call 30

[scarlet sparrow]

can i see how yall got your injector case set up

[ebon oyster]

whatever i find

the only one that s a need for me is mule

[scarlet sparrow]

looking for a more utility oriented one

wrong reply

[ebon oyster]

and maybe propital and ahf1m

[scarlet sparrow]

anyways that's a bad setup

no green stim no zagustin no sj6

[ebon oyster]

sorry that im broke

and only lvl 16

[scarlet sparrow]

i guess blue blood covers zagustin

[ebon oyster]

i havent even found a zagustin yet

[scarlet sparrow]

craftable

[ebon oyster]

plus ahf1m da goat saved me 3 times

[ebon oyster]

im only level 1 in med station

i just started playing again tbh im a little slow

[scarlet sparrow]

no that's fine

i didnt know ahf1m prevents bleeds

[ebon oyster]

the only one that sucks is my sj9

i should take it out and sell it

another propital for me

yo is this key any good

never seen it in my life

[scarlet sparrow]

yes

you need it for a quest

and it's super rare

[ebon oyster]

okay so its a quest key

[ebon oyster]

really i found this on a scav player

[scarlet sparrow]

it also has multiple marked key spawns inside the room

and high tier loot

and keycards

[ebon oyster]

dont really care for keycards i dont like labs

[scarlet sparrow]

can sell them

either way take care of it and once you get the quest you should make sure to get some teammates with you

you can't put it in secure container and it gets deleted if you die

the ques tis called the door

[ebon oyster]

yeah i know that part cause i tried putting it in my doc case

as if i would need it i dont really got good keys

[scarlet sparrow]

red keycard, rusty key and 314 is pretty good for lvl 16

I have only found one marked key and no keycards and im lvl 38

[ebon oyster]

dorm 314 came from a coat in scav camp on interchange

red from dorms 314

[scarlet sparrow]

well actually i have had 2 keycards but they were from cultist circle

[ebon oyster]

rusted from a scav on factory while i was looking for a some pvp didnt get any somehow

[scarlet sparrow]

colored keycards are kinda ass now anyways

i think they made them less rare since they made them limited use

but red keycard is still like over 1m

[ebon oyster]

last time i went to labs i used black and only got a regular key and 2 intel

then promptly died to a guy with a rocket launcher

[scarlet sparrow]

well intel and key both go in ur secure container so at least you prolly paid for your kit and access card

that's the one good thing about labs

[ebon oyster]

yeah i only had an svt

[scarlet sparrow]

you can usually pay for your kit easily

so it's kinda safe

but then again I usually genuinely get killed off spawn

so not really

[ebon oyster]

labs and reserve plus lighthouse i dont really play on or know how to expertly loot on

woods custom and interchange is my rotation

[scarlet sparrow]

It just depends on quest for me

but for fun I really like labrynth

[ebon oyster]

labrynth

i got walked down in there

when i was messing around on my pve acc

[small sun]

just got my first injectors case. i have two propitals in it at the moment, should i put another painkiiller in my container or will those do just fine?

[scarlet sparrow]

either run a propital in your pocket or an ibuprofen/goldenstar in secure container

and just use propital if you need the health regen

[ebon oyster]

golden star preferably

even tho it has longer use time its a little bit better

[scarlet sparrow]

or if you get caught out without any painkiller running on you

[small sun]

are there any other injectors that i should put in the case (once i hit lvl 30)

[scarlet sparrow]

you can get an innjector case way earlier

need to do quests

[small sun]

i just finished Out of Curiosity

but i cant buy stims til level 30

most stims*

and im lvl 29

[scarlet sparrow]

get med station 2/3 and craft propitals, sj6 and zagustins imo

then barter for green stim

[ebon oyster]

most of injectors came from untra camp and scav camp from interchange

[small sun]

and injectors case is lvl 35 anyways on flea

[small sun]

therapist barter im guessing?

[ebon oyster]

this is the lvl 2 trade

[small sun]

zagustin is med station 3 ;(

[ebon oyster]

not that bad you can rush real quick in the hideout if your focused enough and just go for materials

[small sun]

i have everything... except the ledx

[ebon oyster]

im hard locked by these

[ebon oyster]

time to grind some med keys

[small sun]

only once i do crisis apparently

[small sun]

such as...?

[ebon oyster]

ultra medical storage key maybe

necruspharm or sum

i dont really go for med keys but i know a little

[small sun]

1mil for a key

[ebon oyster]

time to grind the outside monuments

well not sure how good they are but i always hit up untra and scav camp they give me decent med items

[small sun]

what if im scared of other humans

[ebon oyster]

uh

@scarlet sparrow you can help him with the scaredness

i dont really know how to help you with that

you just gotta go in there and just try to be better then them

[small sun]

probably just getting better

yeah

[ebon oyster]

i cant really say that cause i still get beat by players with 300 hours

[small sun]

im the player with 300 (+75) hours

[ebon oyster]

im not even good at this point tbh

well i mostly dont play that much anymore tbh

i got a life so i cant no life the game anymore

thats why i play a little more pve i still play pvp when i got a little more time but i usually play a little more pve now

ive probably played 60 to 100 hours of pve

[scarlet sparrow]

yea for 4 shampoos

[scarlet sparrow]

dont need a quest for it

did you check?

it's on lvl 3 thera

[small sun]

i just checked and i can barter it idk where i got this info from lol

[scarlet sparrow]

crisis unlocks crafting it in medstation

[small sun]

ah thats probably it then

[scarlet sparrow]

but it's lvl 38 and far into questlines

[uneven umbra]

no clue what kappa is

[scarlet sparrow]

and doesn't een save money usually i think

[small sun]

buckle up

[stiff cedar]

Kappa secure container, largest in the game

[small sun]

its a secure container given by Fence by completing the quest "Collector"

but you only get the task at lvl 48(?) and after doing many other quests

[uneven umbra]

this message sparks fear deep within my soul

[small sun]

good

[stiff cedar]

You have to complete almost every side task in the game

[small sun]

and the Collector quest itself is difficult, having you collect Kappa/Streamer items in raid to turn in

some rarer than others

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

[uneven umbra]

does tarkov wipe and if so how often lmao, I've played extraction shoots but im new to tarkov

like is it even worth saving for collector if wipe is right around the corner lmao

[scarlet sparrow]

this is the first permanent wipe

I wouldn't recommend saving items for collector

[uneven umbra]

wdym

[scarlet sparrow]

it's unlikely you'll ever go for kappa

[small sun]

normally it wipes every so often, but now its not gonna iirc

[uneven umbra]

so just no more wipes at all?

[scarlet sparrow]

there will be seasonal servers

like in diablo/poe

[uneven umbra]

oh shit alr

[proven panther]

[leaden nexus]

So what do I do if I’m stuck in a queue but don’t want to loose all my stuff

[vivid stump]

how good is the shared bedroom marked key

on lighthouse?

[scarlet sparrow]

you can alt f4 and then open game again and see if it prompts you to reconnect

if it does you can reconnect and hope you're not dead

if not you should still have your gear on you

like if it doesn't ask you to reconnect

sometimes you just get returned to main menu if you alt f4, i dont know if that's the case when you do it during "preparing the game" or not

[vivid stump]

anyone able to help me with this

[crimson thicket]

its okay. currently 250k on flea, thats an indicator of how "good" of a marked key it is (ITS CHEAP)

you'll make your money back running it, but if you're far from lightkeeper being unlocked and need the money just sell it

[thick sapphire]

any sherpas to help me with quest "getting acquainted"? :^(

[hollow lily]

Ok a bit of a rookie question but I'm asking cause I've only been playing interchange and ground zero but whenever I go to streets I get lost so much I usually spawn near tar bank any advice on routes I should take (I do sometimes spawn in a apartment) any advice?

[kindred grotto]

ur mag is full

[worldly ferry]

it isnt tho i shot like 3 bullets before realoading

and when i check the ammo it always tells me it's 4/5

[kindred grotto]

thats how mosins work

sum gun geek can explain it to you better

[worldly ferry]

okayy thanks

[worldly ferry]

but isnt it supposed to just load the chamber instead of wasting a bullet for nothing ?

and when i reload my AK it drops the mag too

so it's not just the mosin

[vital glade]

Can anyone help me do my quest reshala keeps railing me

[arctic crescent]

@rare nova would love someone to share the Keybinds, I'm learning the game right now. Some screenshots would help.

[knotty ridge]

when you open the bolt on the mosin it cycles which ejects the casing
if you have no empty casing and instead just a bullet it just ejects the bullet
the workaround is to take a different weapon out and reload via the inventory

[worldly ferry]

oooohhhhh ookay thank youu i understand now xD

can someone help me get familiar with customs? ive been trying to do the extract and survive quest but i cant find any extracts

[frozen lake]

how does arena work?

[crimson thicket]

kill enemies. FFA, capture point, plant the bomb (think counter strike mode) and 5v5 single-life elim mode

trader that "runs" arena is called ref. character level and XP are shared in tarkov and arena. do some tasks for ref and you'll eventually be able to do a rouble transfer every 24 hours to tarkov from arena

bit more to it than that but that's the gist

[frozen lake]

ah sweet, thanks mate

[slate mountain]

has anyone encountered this boss icon in the map in customs? what does this mean?

[tidal lagoon]

goons is the current belief

[slate mountain]

oh

[tidal lagoon]

historically its been 100% bosses tho

so who knows

[slate mountain]

can confirm it is goons. I got domed by pipe

[barren stump]

I was doing a scav run on reserve. An ai scav runs across the map and starts shooting at me on the machine gun. I kill him but still get the -0.1 rep with fence.

What should I do in that situation? Just run away?

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[barren stump]

I thought if a scav shoots you first you can kill them for positive rep?

Is that only a player controlled scav?

[tidal lagoon]

yes because AI scavs only attack with a reason

[barren stump]

Wonder what his problem was then?

Just woke up that day and chose violence

[tidal lagoon]

hard to say without being there, couldve gotten too close to a boss

[barren stump]

Yeh, maybe. Thanks for replying!

[frozen lake]

I leveled up a weapon in arena, it has the two chevrons, what does that mean?

[tidal lagoon]

it doesnt mean much, unlocks extra attachments but most guns already have the meta attachments unlocked to begin with

if u go to armory then click a gun and levelling tab u can see

[frozen lake]

got it, im using a machine pistol, with zero attachments, i got a stock for it. thx mate

[lethal scarab]

guys im currentyl on a RTX3090 and I9-12900k and im only get approx 80 -90 fps on customs in practice mode , in real game its even lower sometimes , is it meant to be this low , i play on some of thhe lowest settings ?

[high granite]

what ram do u have?

and what res

do u play on

[lethal scarab]

2560x1440p and i got 32gb 6200

[high granite]

uf u get around 100 fps in online i think it is okeish

if u get less than 70 there is smt wrong

[lethal scarab]

it jumps around alot like 90 to 60 even sometimes

[high granite]

try using dlss, process lasso, clear cache and logs after 4-5 games

[tidal lagoon]

i think that sounds about right with those specs on 1440

[high granite]

set energy saving pc to extreme

other than that donnow

u should get around 110 avg tbh

[lethal scarab]

alrr also should i send my settings and you guys say what i should change ?

[tidal lagoon]

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

watch this

its a bit long but thats because he goes into depth in how the settings work etc instead of just saying put this on that and that

[lethal scarab]

wait i got to the part about dlss and they added some new ones now , which preset should i use ?

what is BP used for in arena?

i have 32, but i cant find a spot to spend it

[tidal lagoon]

[lethal scarab]

alrr also i finished the vid and i mostly increased some of my settings and im getting better performance now like outside i get aound 90 but inside 70to 80

[tidal lagoon]

yea I was thinking u would get a little higher fps than u were when I heard ur specs first but I think since u are on 1440p it makes sense cuz that would lower it by a bit

[lethal scarab]

kk do you also wanna see them to see if you would tweak anything ?

[tidal lagoon]

I dont think i can help u much tbh, I have a completely different pc and I followed his video too

[lethal scarab]

[merry agate]

you still need that done?

ill bring the blicky if you bring the armor

[merry agate]

not so much server, more like best avenue of attack on the right maps

customs is bar none the easiest map to fight cultists as theyre kinda dumb

stand on skeletal and check the bushes surrounding the area towards fortress, you can literally stare at zhrek and he wont do anything

thermals are ((mostly)) useless against them, they have 90% thermal reduction so they do kinda show, but not nearly enough to be helpful ime

[brave valley]

Figured I should start here, I've been playing for a bit now (level 36) and my pvp play is absolutely atrocious and I could use advice to get better.

I'm so bad at pvp im done with Cargo X and Wet Work but im still on test drive 1 and grenadier.

I think my biggest issues are spawn pathing, map knowledge, movement, and how to pace pvp fights and peeking correctly

i've never used the cultist circle. I bought the Lab Research Notes in order to craft a labrys access card but it won't give me an option to put the research notes in the circle

am I doing something wrong?

[short tartan]

press sacerfice to get inventory view

[amber glade]

why am i not able to hand this gzhel armor for the quest between 0-50%? it's 127/259

[shut river]

Take off the plates and see what the numbers are

Needs to be the armor itself not the inserted plates

[amber glade]

oh its 124/154

so how do i do it?

[shut river]

get it damaged below the requirement

Exploding canisters, a duo with a blicky

get shot at by a scav, whatever

[haughty cedar]

i did to great hight part 3 and it wont let me transfer anything over to pvp

its been 3 days is it a bug or a feature

[exotic widget]

you see every bug IS a feature

[amber glade]

i put in the labs research notes but I didn't get a labrys access keycard in return. why is that? it says the gift is bestowed. i thought the wiki said if you sacfrifice labs research notes you get a access keycard for the labyrinth

[last gale]

Get a friend, spawn in Factory, go outside to the courtyard from the office so you're not disturbed, throw it on the ground, take the plates out, wear it, pop a propital and get your friend to shoot you with a Blicky. It does exactly 1 damage, so bring a lot of disks. Extract, done.

this guy is camping me so that I can not leave the lighthouse

what to do 🙁

[feral osprey]

Shoot him before he shoots you

[tender totem]

hey, so as a completely new player how should i be getting gear? buying from shops or looting or what? how do i know what gear is actually any good? and that goes for like ammo and stuff too

and also how do i know what loot is worth taking and what isnt? and what kind of places should i be looking to actually get valuable stuff? likes bodies or what?

[crimson thicket]

Buying from traders and flea market when you unlock that. Level up traders for expanded shop inventory. Ammo, take anything that's 30+ armor penetration value at this point. Armor and helmets take class 4 and above

[tender totem]

also something else, is it like possible to review how you died in any way? like in 2 of the games ive played i just kinda got shot from who knows where and itd be nice to know how it happened so i can improve

[crimson thicket]

Military outposts / buildings are good for ammo, scope and muzzle devices, and sometimes armor

Everyone else is just kind of learn maps and loot spots

[crimson thicket]

Unfortunately no. Record vods to try and rewatch is the best you'll get

[tender totem]

alright thanks

is there any particular loot i should be focusing on getting early on?

[crimson thicket]

Hideout loot and early quest items

Salewa, morphines, gas analyzers, flash drives

Other than that all hideout loot. Hoses, nuts and bolts, toolsets, lightbulbs, metal parts and electric drills are all used often and early

[tender totem]

ok, thanks

[rain sage]

anyone able to help my 1/2 a zabralo?

[spring marlin]

anyone available to run some pve with me? also what is the best ways to learn where extractions are

[hidden seal]

play with a cell phone with map by your side

and play focused on finding extracts if you had no PVE I woudl say play practice mode.. but PVE is just practice mode with a bit more hostile NPCs

[spring marlin]

makes sense. then its just kinda figuring out where you spawn?

[hidden seal]

yes.. but you will memorize the general layout after a few dozen runs

[spring marlin]

thanks

the only map i kinda know right now is factory but i keep getting mc hammer smashing my skull in

[crimson thicket]

Factory might be the most useless map to learn starting off. Not very many quests there overall. Id recommend learning customs and woods for starters

[spring marlin]

okay

[undone current]

i cannot get a grip on customs

[hidden seal]

customs is not hard... First you need to figure what side of river you are

and if you are west of river will be obvious if you are in the forested area or in the industrial area

your extracts are always opposite side of river from wher eyou extract

[undone current]

if i spawn near the building thats under construction that has mgs what part of the map is that

[hidden seal]

north at west side of river

more or less center of that quadrant

[undone current]

does that building have a name?

is it depot?

[hidden seal]

I mean fortress

[undone current]

thank you im gonna have to do a few more runs to figure it out

[hidden seal]

run a few times in practice mode

the only part that takes a while to figure is to locate yourself fast when you spawn in the forested area or near the large fuel tanks (when you spawn amogn them it can be disorienting

Shoreline and Woods are harder than customs to learn to navigate safely

[undone current]

im gonna have a really hard time then

gonna need to make some friends quick lol

[hidden seal]

tbh it is easier to learn map alone

if you follow someone it is hard to learn the map

[short bay]

need some explaining of the maps key points etc?

[undone current]

if you wouldnt mind

[short bay]

ok lets go to voice

https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/1476147948017418364

[undone current]

sadly i cant i have children lol

[short bay]

ah you mean you going to wake them up or something like that

then you are going to have to learn the hard way, i suggest offline raids (not PVE) just load in without And explore, map is divided in parts, big ones being on both sides of the river.

There have to be some youtube videos that also help

[undone current]

thank youuu

[short bay]

question to others, how do you limit the beginner group that you create to two people etc

[vivid crest]

ive been having a really hard time trying to pvp at dorms to practice, its always that i try to clear the building out, room by room and suddenly someone swings from the end of the hallway as soon as they hear sprinting cuz im trying to free look to check doors, how am i supposed to clear buildings properly?

[elder dune]

I got a new quest from prapor - test drive, with a very fancy weapon gift to use it for. The problem is, if I die do I have to build the weapon from scratch? Because I can’t yet buy some of the attachments prescribed by the mission

[wary glade]

[languid kelp]

anyone knows a good spot/map to farm money im kinda new and broke

keep getting KIA from high leves

[elder dune]

Which maps do you have access to

[languid kelp]

almost everymap but lighthouse i think

[elder dune]

Reserve imo

[languid kelp]

Oh wait yea

dont have that yet

[elder dune]

Interchange ig

[languid kelp]

Where exactly tho.. its a complex map i get lost

[tropic walrus]

can anyone open polkhim key for me and a friend 🙏

[elder dune]

You have two main exfils as a scav one of which should always be present. Both of them are reached by walking along the long end of the building complex, so that it’s on your right side. One of them is on railways so it’s hard to miss, the other is emercom and recognizable by blue walls

[hallow shard]

interchange insaen for loot i run the outskirts and get hella ammo and barters

[hidden seal]

any map tht you survive.. surviving comes first when you want to make money

[languid kelp]

stuck at the jager letter quest cause i keep dying when trying to exfill

[hidden seal]

go to GZ geta a flare, exit on other extract. Then on woods, exfil on flare exit

[languid kelp]

Also where can i find a gas analyzer

[hidden seal]

anywhere... but interchange scav camp is a good spot

frequent to spawn in the tents, below the television and on the tables

[languid kelp]

Dunno where that is but thanks will look there

[hidden seal]

far west of map, beyond the wrecked train

next to the flare extract

[languid kelp]

this part right?

[hidden seal]

yes..

in the medical tents

[languid kelp]

alright

thanks

[hidden seal]

also just before the tents behind a fuel truck there is a broken box sometimes i get them in betweehn the wood planks

[scarlet sparrow]

check filing cabinets

but they are literally everywhere

just like loot

[gentle monolith]

every map can be good to make money tbh, and really depends on your map knowledge and play style.

Woods is probably good for a beginner rn as it’s quite dead tbh

wouldn’t recommend reserve or shoreline if you’re a beginner

[languid kelp]

dont know any map good tbh

[hidden seal]

so focus on one and learn. Even GZ can pay your bills

[sharp moon]

Mayne fuc this game dawg

[vital glade]

what exactly does this mean (yes i have autism)

[humble otter]

You need to kill anything inside a specific building on customs

[vital glade]

is it the same building i planted the camera

[humble otter]

Yes

[vital glade]

alright thanks man

[humble otter]

All good

[tropic walrus]

can someone open up polikhim for me and 2 buddies 🙂

[cursive prawn]

try #lfg-info

lives players over there

[crystal sail]

Wassap gang

[severe furnace]

how you repair this

[astral glen]

Disable antivirus and firewall and run as administrator

[signal ferry]

carry some ruble incase you got a ride on btr after got jaeger letter to the stop point near flare extract can help with survive too

[wraith edge]

people can hear me when I voip but everyone says it sounds like shit and they can't understand me. not sure what's going on as my input works great everywhere else

i made sure I have my interface/xlr mic selected in tarkov for the input but that did not fix anythign

[valid imp]

how many blank RFIDs do we need for quests

[steep ivy]

Depends

Its for terminal

U need one for every time u go there

[valid imp]

o shit

Well i got 3 of these things

[tardy girder]

What do I choose?

[valid imp]

depends if you want to piss off prapor

[tardy girder]

What's the Amends cost if I piss him off?

[valid imp]

Fairly sure the immediate consequence is -0.3 rep with him but later I think i've seen the cost be pretty big

[stiff cedar]

If you don't rep loss and you can't do certain endings through him, if you give it to him you have to do a questline to get it back. It ultimately depends on what ending you're going for.

[rain tinsel]

why the map lfg vc changed and no more maps only size group

[astral glen]

??vc

[red thistle]

Why were the VCs changed? / Where did the map specific VCs go?

VC bot stopped working so the bot was removed. Having map specific lobbies while were great, required too much micromanaging constantly adding and removing the lobbies due to the channel limit constraint Discord has.

[cinder coral]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[tender totem]

if you need new gear is your only option basically to buy it? cos there are always loads of armor and backpacks and chest harnesses and that to loot but theres never enough space

[stiff cedar]

Get a bigger backpack to take more with you

[tiny ferry]

Anyone oceania ? 3k hr player returning to the game lookin for duo or trio, haven't played since pre 1.0 so could do w some assistance gettin back into it :)))

[signal ferry]

just incase there tarkov oceania server discord too though

[slate mountain]

How rare is the taxi extract at streets? I have ran streets for at least 5 times now and still no Vehicle extract

[fallen cargo]

@slate mountain its there alot but when 1 person takes it its gon for all pres oo and see if taxsi exstrack is green that means som1 is using the exstrackt

if its red som1 is already use it

[visual quiver]

you won't be able to pick everything up, but you could do quick factory runs to kill some pmcs and try to keep running that if you wanna stack gear. and with armor you can take the plates out and fill up a ballistic plate case and just buy rigs to put them in.

[daring plover]

avg factory loot

[visual quiver]

oof the 6 on the plates lmao

did you run around nading everyone that's a lottt of nades

that'd be hilarious to watch ngl

[daring plover]

im more concerned what was he fighting to need this much nades

[visual quiver]

he coulda been meming

[daring plover]

i scavved in facto, HE was the one who had this much nades

not only that look at the helmet and deathshadow

[daring plover]

probs

[full frigate]

Looking for someone for improving my gameplay,ngl feeling like shit out there

[tidal lagoon]

ure doing better than most

[full frigate]

Well,kinda

Stucking on missions and losing my inventory too fast

[stiff cedar]

Region?

[full frigate]

europe

[tender totem]

i got a task to collect 5 building material from customs and i wandered around for like 20 minutes and found almost nothing, where are you supposed to find this stuff? like i checked at least 3 big warehouses, is that not where id find it?

[light pagoda]

fortress second floor

[tender totem]

ok, how am i supposed to know where to find these spots tho? just for future quests

[tender totem]

also how do I buy ammo that fits my guns I swear none of the traders have compatible ammo

[elder dune]

Which guns

Or, what ammo do you need

Which traders you have unlocked

[tender totem]

idk, I'm not playing the game right now
just whatever fits the guns that I have in my stash

[elder dune]

Ok

[tender totem]

well I just started so, I only have 3 plus the shady guy

[elder dune]

Shady guy resells whatever ammo is sold to him by other players, which means anything can pop up but tends to be expensive

[latent needle]

anybody know why I cant talk to the BTR driver. I can get in but when i try to talk to him the game wont let me, i see the text box to talk but i cant click it.

[tender totem]

ok, not too helpful then

just I feel like I have guns with no ammo and ammo for guns I don't have, how am I meant to play like this

[hexed wagon]

cant seem to even make it inside on interchange to kill 2 scavs for my quest i get domed by another pmc every time any advice lol

[elder dune]

Find out which ammo you need and which traders you have, and we’ll go from there

[fierce topaz]

can anyone please share me their 12ga shotgun meta build? just need skav skills with it for pve quest

[worldly pawn]

if you are going for specifically headshots, then just use a little 2 times scope with SLUGS

If you just need kills then anything works since its just scavs

[elder dune]

You don’t need “meta” build shotgun for killing scavs, you can kill them with anything

[ruby summit]

Just went to the plane to do falling skies and when i get back I get this :

My mate clicked it and now he can't talk to any of the traders about the plane

What can I do ?

[knotty cobalt]

oops

why do i get 30 ish fps on customs while looking at fortress

i got a 3070 and a ryzen 7 5800

[vocal mist]

Dunno what you should do, but I can tell you that the devs have been made aware of this issue a few days ago, so it will hopefully get fixed

[knotty cobalt]

also sry for typing that earlier. my msg got removed when i clicked enter and wanted to check if it happend again so i typed smth random. turned into that

shi

[vocal mist]

I think that was the repeated symbols, the automod doesn't like it when you do that too much

[knotty cobalt]

oh ok

but do yk why am lagging tho? just died bc of it

[vocal mist]

I'm not a tech guy at all, my game also runs fairly bad and I should do something about it, but don't know what

[knotty cobalt]

am so pissed tho. some crab with 2k hours and a 33 surv rate got me and the partial reason was the 30 fps bs. cant see shi

[split flax]

what am i doing wrong, seriously, can't complete to great heights part 3, battle pass is lvl 48 for god sake ....

[ashen crow]

does anyone know if the theta questline has changed?

completed create a distraction pt 1 and also to great heights pt 5 and didnt get against the conscience

in case no one answers your question

it should just be completing the usual tasks

they did not change it i believe

[ashen crow]

so could it be a bug that im not getting this next quest

[acoustic widget]

they prolly put a time gate on it

just wait a bit

[fallen cargo]

willing to help (newer) players out whit the game you must be age 18+ poke me im age 37 and got a ton of houres in the game

[crisp snow]

[tidal lagoon]

[crisp snow]

what do i have to bind?

[tidal lagoon]

[crisp snow]

thank u very much

[plush sundial]

So I identify as a Timmy. Today I managed to take down two kitted players with only a pistol. I think I managed as a combination of luck, good "crosshair" placement, bad play by them, and me thinking about right hand peaking. I wonder however, did I overextend here during my peek? should I have been tighter?

[weary sky]

in the first fight i think you shouldve stuck on the first one and when he went down then repeak from the other angle

you definetley risked it by staying exposed for that long

good fight though. your cover to take it from was good because they didnt see you until you started shooting

[fallen cargo]

it seams like its 2 headshots you where lucky you where behind the railing i think it stop a few rounds for you and yea afthere dropping the first 1 you took a bit long to get back to cover

and (never) repeak the same angel

the second headschot was (lucky) you werent scoped in but nice angel when he came running around the corner

also when you kild the second it seemd you rusht for your kils loot dont do that exspeckt there to be a 3

[plush sundial]

Yeah I was out there too long, kinda forgot about the whole «run out of ammo» thing. So lucky I did not get killed there and that he was shooting at me with an adar.

[plush sundial]

I knew they where only two, I had been listening to them stomping around inside the house for 5 minutes, just waited for them to exit so i could either take them down, or do my kill scav quest in peace lol

[fallen cargo]

wel it dosnt need to be a 3 man from there team som1 coud be close and hear the gunshots and tirdeparty the fight or scave com over to the sound

[plush sundial]

True enough 👍 been killed like that too many times. How long should I wait? Should i re-pos and take another route to them?

[fallen cargo]

think about al the bad tings in that spot there

you ar hurt bleeding i think low on ammo in the open just had a fight

reposition 10meters or so where you can see or hear if som1 is close first stop the bleed then fil a mag whit exstra ammo heal the rest

dead bodys dont run away

there gear stays there

when you got a mag and heald atleast your toraxs and lookt around you can loot them

[plush sundial]

Thanks 👍🏻 patience is key in this game it seems, as I am slowly learning.. Ill try to keep that in mind, always expect there to be more.

[fallen cargo]

yup

at sompoint you get kil quist and you wil start rushing gunfights you find somany players looting there kil

if you wood have kild them in a building or somwhere not open you can loot earlyer i gus but

i allways make i got a ful mag and a full toraxs
