You need to create a new account

You cannot use your Steam email

Because that email was used to generate the temporary profile

It even says that in my guide

The “complete account activation” form is asking you to create a new BSG user account to migrate your Steam data over to, you can’t use an email that is already in use, you have to use a new email

When you purchase the game on Steam, it generates a temporary guest profile with the name “TarkovCitizenXXXXX”, this account is not a full BSG user account.
The form requests that you enter an unused email address to create a new user account to migrate your Steam data to.
Once this form is completed, you need to login with Steam (not credentials), and then unlink your Steam from the temporary guest profile in the settings.
Then it will allow you to link your Steam to the new user account you just created with the form.

If you don’t follow the steps it’s never going to work

Of course you can’t play the game because you haven’t linked your Steam properly yet

[astral glen]

You need to login with Steam, and then follow the form that is given and then unlink your Steam from that guest profile

You do not login to any account using credentials until you are told to in the guide

You just told me what you did and it is not the steps I posted, it won’t work if you don’t follow the steps

I’ve told you how to complete the process, and you’re not doing the steps you need to so it’s never going to work for you

You were not told to just create a new account, you need to specifically complete the account activation form that is given when you login with Steam, and then you must unlink your Steam from the guest profile, then you login with the account created via the form and then link your Steam

[indigo crypt]

Could someone help me to complete "your car needs a service" aka Kaban on Streets? 🙂 EU/US servers

[astral glen]

No your assumptions are incorrect

The temporary account is automatically generated using your Steam email the instant you purchased the game on Steam, it is what your Steam is currently linked to

You need to follow the steps like I have asked half a dozen times now or it won't work

The form is the account activation form that you are prompted to complete, to create a new user account, once that it done you must go to your account settings and unlink your Steam from the temporary tarkovcitizen profile, then you need to login to the new user account that was created with the form and then link your Steam to it

Any experience with where to look for player scavs on Woods? The Ledx spots in the USEC camp? The med camp in the south-east?

[fiery moat]

the sks and uzi from mechanic barters. cheapest way to get 14 hour (no 6h tho)

barter a suppressed uzi for an inseq wrench, then a black sks for 3 weapon parts. put both of them in, guaranteed 14h every time

or u can do 2 inseq uzi if u wanna wait for the trader reset cooldown people, the sks is more expensive and has less value, its just there so u can do the 14 hour without waiting for a trader reset to get the second uzi. sks costs like 45k with 3 weapon parts, uzi costs like 28k with an inseq wrench

[woeful spruce]

I suspect you want them for coop extract, i would choose usec camp if i were you. Closest to the actual extract amd playerscavs like visiting it. Of course the lumber mill is popular too.

[cinder coral]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[safe elk]

I do infact receieve the verification code

[broken flower]

lucky enjoy....not actually sure why it wants a code given I already have an account and have verified it but nothing surprises me with this game

chalk it up as a £33 lesson and move on

[safe elk]

you're acting like you've never encountered 2fa before

which is highly unlikely in the big 26

[astral glen]

You need to click the login with Steam button

[alpine sphinx]

just verify the steam account with another gmail and then unlink it then you can link it one the gmail you want

bcs bsg creates a ghost account which you need to verify in order to unlink steam

its stupid but it worked for me

[true osprey]

[astral glen]

And what happens when you click it?

[broken flower]

only option log out or change my profile in 28 days

or you can go to link accounts which takes you to the linked and not linked fiasco

[astral glen]

In the top right, click the settings cogwheel and then go to linked accounts, unlink your Steam account
Then login to the account you created with the form and then link your Steam account

You are not logged into the Steam account

Your profile name in the top right would read “TarkovCitizenXXXXX” if you were, you have logged into another user account

Then you’ve logged into another account and linked it to your Steam, that one specifically, if you had not, it would log you in to the TarkovCitizen account which is created upon purchase

Yeah you need to not login to the account you created yet

The process I sent clearly states that once you have completed the form (account activation) you need to then unlink your Steam in the settings, and then you log in to thew new user account and link your Steam

You can't unlink your Steam if it's not linked to that account, you need to unlink it from whatever account you have linked it to, if you haven't linked it to anything, then it's still linked to the temporary guest profile (TarkovCitizenXXXXX) which is automatically generated when you purchased the game

I just tried it on my side, I clicked log in, then selected the log in with Steam option, and it instantly put me into my profile settings

It did not take me to a Tarkov sign in page, it instantly put me into my account

Show this page you are talking about

[loud yoke]

Thanks. Yeah, that's where I tried first. Back when I was trying to find a FIR Ledx that's where I went as a scav myself. No luck there today, but I've done the quest, anyway. 🙂

[astral glen]

This means you have not completed step 1 yet

This is the BSG launcher, not the website

[loud yoke]

And yeah, you are right about the extract. For some reason, the Russian version of the task just tells you to use a co-op extract on Woods without specifying which one. The English version specifies the bridge. I have no idea if the Factory Gate extract is still in the game, though.

[astral glen]

Yes and then you must complete the account activation form, it asks you to enter a new email and password to create a new user account

This is not a sign in form

This is step 1 of my message

You need to create a NEW user account

Enter an email address that is not a BSG user account, and then create a password

Then you need to complete steps 2, 3 and 4

Yes, so wait for the verification email

Unlink your Steam

Log out of the website, log in, click the Steam button, then go to profile settings, linked accounts and then unlink it from that account

And then log in to the account you just created with that form, and then link your Steam in the account settings, then you're done

[mint hill]

can someone help me out here I was doing batya and was on the interchange part and I picked up the files and note but didnt read them I went back to interchange to read them and they wherent there

[astral glen]

Then you didn't complete the account verification from the link in your mail

You must unlink your Steam by logging in through Steam, completing the account activation process fully (including confirming the account creation in your email) and then you go to the account settings of the Steam account, not the new BSG user account

You can't unlink the Steam from something it's not linked to

It has to be the settings of the Steam account, not the new account created with the form

You are logging in on the launcher again

None of this takes place on the launcher or Steam

Your Steam account is linked instantly when you purchase the game, a temporary user account is generated using your Steam accounts email address, user action required notification being given to you is to prompt you to create a new user account, you cannot use the same email as your Steam account, as your Steam is already linked to that temporary account

You need to complete the form and create a new user account with a new email address, and then you log in with Steam on the website, unlink your profile in the settings from the temporary Steam generated account, and then you log in to the brand new account created via the form and link your Steam

So, log in with Steam on the website, and then unlink your Steam from that automatically generated user account that was created when you purchased the game (not the account you just made on the website)

And then you may log in to the brand new account and link your Steam

Then you have not finished filling out the account activation form yet

At this point please just contact support, I can't help you any further

I've repeated the necessary steps to you over and over again

You need to activate the account, not just enter a 2FA code

A I said, please reach out to support if you want further help

If not, have a nice day, I can't do more for you

[broken flower]

No worries you too

[mint hill]

can someone help me out here I was doing batya and was on the interchange part and I picked up the files and note but didnt read them I went back to interchange to read them and they wherent there

[astral glen]

They go into your logbook

[worldly pawn]

There is a place to read them. It is in your log book, go there, look for where the files are, and then you can read them from that spot

[mint hill]

[marsh marlin]

Hi guys, is there anything i should sell right when i created my character? I have inventory full of low tier stuff (EoD edition) and i activated like 7 promos + christmas gift so i have no space to take those good modded guns and other stuff

What do i keep at the start of character?

[minor crescent]

armor and ammo

i got the normal so idk what guns you got

any non modded gun just sell

my tip tho is to not sell anything

just go play the game

[marsh marlin]

i got this

[minor crescent]

youll surely lose everything

play and try not to die

if you die you will just have backups

[marsh marlin]

Well i am not exactly total newbie, i just looked at my character info and i have over 400 hours in tarkov but that was like 2019-2021 since then i forgot almost everything. I played now ABI for 1 year because i did not have good PC to run tarkov so i am kinda trained and prepared i just take extraction shooters seriously, its much more joy and i dont want to keep useless stuff that people usually sell day 1 on wipe :D

[minor crescent]

well i played alot of ABI too

i cant say they are similar

they are different in alot of aspect

but if you were good in ABI then you are better than most newbies

play alot of ground zero

[marsh marlin]

Everyone who played tarkov in last year and tried ABI said it is way too harder, its mainly pvp based game and tarkov is more PvE, slower paced and usually you find more solos. In ABI every raid are squads :D

I will try my best tho, i heard there are no wipes so i can take as much time as i need with my pernament character to learn game, that is cool.

[minor crescent]

well ABI is also way simplified

there is no overbore and gunplay i find it generally worse

in this game a gun with 650rpm can kill a HK for example

in ABI if you had a gun with 650rpm you will mostly just die

[cursive prawn]

tarkov is much much harder, and ya on this main character there are no more wipes but a secondary seasonal/wiping character is coming summer time

[marsh marlin]

Yeah i literally just spammed HK and U191 in ABI because without them you are not meta, i love on tarkov that there is big variety and streamers even use SMGs and they are strong. There is no way you kill someone in ABI with smg xdd

[minor crescent]

what does the secondary wipe?

[minor crescent]

yes it was the main probelem

also that game is slowly becoming like CO?

[cursive prawn]

a second character, that will be on a wipe cycle

[minor crescent]

so ill lose all my storage and skills?

[cursive prawn]

not on your main, your main stays (what you play now) the second PMC will be separate from the one you have now.

[minor crescent]

oh ok

also

is there any way of getting a better safe case?

[cursive prawn]

pouch?

[minor crescent]

cause the alpha case from the normal edition is kinda small

[minor crescent]

yes

[cursive prawn]

!wiki secure containers

[broken quail]

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

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Secure containers

Secure containers provide a secure space for items that will not be lost upon death.

[cursive prawn]

they’re listed here, along with what’s required to obtain them

[marsh marlin]

I am not supposed to keep items i find in tutorial first run? I got ledex but i also found a lot of other stuff like night vision googles and i dont see them in my inventory

[minor crescent]

so i got to grind anyway

[cursive prawn]

lotsss of grinding

[cursive prawn]

no whatever you find is taken away and you’re given a base set of items from the tutorial now

[minor crescent]

well ill keep the alpha for now

maybe ill try the scav one

the one on old gas station

man im so tired of being overloaded at 27kg

i cant bring some heavier armor that ill just start stomping around

[marsh marlin]

noooooooo my night googles xdd

[marsh marlin]

But i got ledex + graphic card, or thats normal starting kit?

[twilit charm]

Hey for the ticket do you have to go through every story line when gathering the major evidence or will it just be there if you have the task gather major evidence i thought i could just get that task in the ticket and the evidence would be there

[minor crescent]

you got some night goggles anyway

i got them in my normal edition so you should have them too

[marsh marlin]

I dont have really, closest to googles are Tglasses and CF mask :D then there are helmets and armor under but no NVG

[minor crescent]

oh idk then

i got a free NVG

maybe its cause i preordined it?

[minor crescent]

i had this

[marsh marlin]

i got this so its different i have only some kind of long scope

[minor crescent]

i just found it on my styash one day

[minor crescent]

you got the ledx?

[marsh marlin]

you probably looted it somehow without notice or got it in some kind of promo/twitch drops or something xdd

[minor crescent]

i forgot abt it lol

[minor crescent]

maybe codes?

idk i never use it anyway

[marsh marlin]

yeah i dont know if its that one from tutorial or you start with one now defaultly

[minor crescent]

i dont like night raids

[minor crescent]

tutorial i think

like you find it

[true osprey]

Nop

[minor crescent]

cause starting with a ledx is too much even with PfE

[true osprey]

The loot that you get after tutorial is predetermined

[marsh marlin]

Well one of the reasons i am switching to tarkov from ABI is to try night raids so i am excited, is there any difference in loot or something? Or just aesthetics?

[true osprey]

You don't keep current inventory

[minor crescent]

harder to spot i guess?

i did 1 night raid

kinda cool

even more with tracers

[true osprey]

Eyo Mikey check what I wrote

[minor crescent]

yes i've read that

then how did he get it?

[true osprey]

You just get it after tutorial

[minor crescent]

it also got the quest thing

why didnt i get it T_T

[true osprey]

Ye for the first therapist quest

Cuz it's a medical item

[summer radish]

What's a good interactive map to use?

[minor crescent]

my first therapist quest was to give her 2 salewas i think?

[minor crescent]

mpa genie

even tho some maps are behind a paywall

[true osprey]

Maybe you did the tutorial before they implemented the predetermined loot

[summer radish]

What I do with those maps?

[true osprey]

Where you could keep your shit

@summer radish brother don't use that slop I gochu

[minor crescent]

or just tarkov wiki maps

[true osprey]

I'll DM you or I'll get smited if I type it here

[minor crescent]

i played it first time 16th november 2025

at launch

[true osprey]

Ye that's why

It was changed like a day or so later

[minor crescent]

oh ok

[cursive prawn]

normal, they give it to everyone. i’d keep it, as they’re required for certain tasks (although idk if they are given FIR)

[minor crescent]

:(

about how much is that in rubles?

[cursive prawn]

best place to ask about story stuff is i’ll always be #eft-story-and-lore-discussion i do not know the answer to this, however id presume that you need to do the actual tasks to gather the evidence

[true osprey]

Check the flowchart brother

[primal nebula]

yo i just got the game and im so confused. ive never been this confused on a game 😭. Im moving from arc to tarkov cuz I heard this games got a higher skill celling. What should I do as a complete beginner that wont empty my stash?

[cloud basin]

u cant do anything

u have to accept that u will lose ur stash

at the start

[primal nebula]

D:

[primal nebula]

cant i just do scav runs?

[cloud basin]

u could reset ur acc on the website once u lose everything

itll reset ur stash, quest progress etc.

[cloud basin]

dont fall down that rabbit hole

[primal nebula]

you can do that? Why would anyone want it tho?

just wait for seasonal tbh

[cloud basin]

it was implemented before prestige i think so it was for ppl who wanted to do a wipe twice

idk

[true osprey]

Dawg hell naw, just play the game and have fun don't listen to that @primal nebula

[primal nebula]

so its an manual wipe basically

[cloud basin]

exactly that

[primal nebula]

aight aight

[cloud basin]

yh im letting my bias affect my judgement

play however u want at the end of the day

[true osprey]

You are

[cloud basin]

yes thats what i said

[primal nebula]

so what are wipes? do they just bring your account to square one? like a fresh account?

[cloud basin]

u keep achievements

i think thats pretty much it

also prestige rewards

but the current character doesnt wipe

nikita said hell implement seasonal character some time during summer

[primal nebula]

will u keep achievements even if you reset manually?

[cloud basin]

yh

[true osprey]

The char that you are playing now will never wipe, seasonal chars will tho

[primal nebula]

so it exactly like a normal wipe ig

[primal nebula]

aight

[cloud basin]

yh a wipe that u can just do

itll reset ur achievement progress tho

but not achievements u completed

[minor crescent]

well why not

[primal nebula]

ok

[minor crescent]

i became rich in 2 days with those

[cloud basin]

theres an achievement (master of ultra) that requires u to kill the boss killa 100 times. if u reset after killing him 99 times, the progress will reset to 0, but if u kill him 100 times ull keep the achievement

[minor crescent]

from 450k to 1 800 000 rubels

[cloud basin]

yh use it to get richer

[primal nebula]

there are bosses in this game? 🥀

[cloud basin]

i meant rabbit hole in a more extreme case

[cloud basin]

obv lol

[primal nebula]

My biggest problem is the map and where the extraction points are

[cloud basin]

most maps have 1

[cloud basin]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Map:Factory?

pull up this on a 2nd monitor or ur phone

every1 uses it so dont feel like ur cheating

u can filter by spawns, exfils, quests, some maps have loot shown etc.

[primal nebula]

intresting

[cloud basin]

some ppl use mapgenie so try that and pick whichever u prefer

i like the wiki version tho

[primal nebula]

k

last question, for some reason my game looks blurry and dotty, how can i resolve it?

[cloud basin]

graphics settings

holon ill give u a guide

[primal nebula]

everything is max but it still aint good

[cloud basin]

this is the one i use, he goes in depth what each setting does so u can tweak it to ur liking
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MUiBJsnORY

[cloud basin]

what pc do u have?

cpu/gpu/gb of ram

[primal nebula]

cpu is 11th gen Intel(R)/ Gpu is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 and 64 GB of ram

[true osprey]

Check hyperrart's guide on YouTube, everything else is either giga slop or a copy of his guide

[cloud basin]

how much vram is that?

[primal nebula]

okok

[primal nebula]

64 giga

[true osprey]

He means GPU

The other is just ram not vram

[cloud basin]

its 10

[true osprey]

But you are fine regardless

[cloud basin]

yh

[primal nebula]

aight imma watch the video u recommended me rq

[torn rapids]

u never lose everything tho

prapor gives you gear if you have nothing

[cloud basin]

RIIIGHt

[torn rapids]

lol

[cloud basin]

ive been rich for so long i forgot about that

damn

its hard being rich

[true osprey]

[primal nebula]

bro i cannot read the map in the eft wiki

[marsh marlin]

What is MINIMUM armor class on helmet/armor and armor plates i should use even as returning "begginer" player? Like is T2 even for something?

[woeful spruce]

T2 makes it so that a scav with a shotgun with buckshot doesnt imidiately 1 tap you in the chest. Its useless for 90% of other things. At this point might as well wear nothing to lower weight and run faster

[cursive prawn]

if its hard you can try the map genie maps, i really like those

[woeful spruce]

The agreed upon minimum to be resistant to most scav bulets and some lower tier player ammo is class 4

You will hardly find anyone right now running anything lower than 4

As a beginner use whatever you can get your hands on tbh. Its gonna be some time before you cam source decent armors from traders/flea

[minor crescent]

well run t3

and run only GZ until you are lvl 20

many newbies are there and most of them (in my experience) use PS or US GS

which will let you tank some hits

[fiery moat]

you mean tier 3? because thats what describes tier 3. most people are running tier 4, some are running tier 5, and tier 6 is very very rare. i personally run tier 5 only(sometimes tier 6 if i find the plates on loot) bc i have tier 4 traders that sell me tier 5 armor with 70m bank(i only run tier 5 front plate, my back is usually tier 4) but yea most of the time slapping a tier 4 on will make it go, most players shoot bullets like 5.45 bt/pp ,5.56 m856a1 or sost, 9x19 ap 6.3 or pbp, so tier 4 is the mainly used armor cuz even tier 4 traders dont sell ammo that reliably pens tier 4.

strangely enough, i still see SOME lvl 35+ players running 5.45/7.62x39 PS, M855 etc. with tier 4 armor tier 3 helmet, but its just as rare as people running ppbs igolnik/M995/M993/MAI AP etc. the most commonly used bullets are m856a1 and 5.45 bt guys, make your plans around it

[minor crescent]

just bring t4 and hope you tank some hits

run alot of scav runs on factory and loot dead pmc,sometimes they got body armor on them

[twilit charm]

how do I learn more about strelets and voevoda in batya

[hollow elbow]

Route Development, Finance, Staff, and Report Folder Locations are where bro i am so confused

[dawn pine]

which guns can use this scope and night vision thing?

[dreamy moth]

all of them but you need the mount to put it on a gun. Can't remember what the mount is called though

[fiery moat]

pressing "filter by linked" will show the flea market for the mount, thats how i find what fits which gun

[dreamy moth]

^

[dawn pine]

okay

i find the rifle i can put it on

but i cant put it on the rifle oddly

[dreamy moth]

did you get the mount for the scope?

Its called the Armasight Vulcan Universal mount

[dawn pine]

no i got a different mount

[dreamy moth]

then it wont work

[dawn pine]

even though the RM33 can be mounted on the scope and the mount can be put on the gun?

[dreamy moth]

You can mount that on the scope itself to put a red dot sight on the scope but to actually put the scope on the gun, you need the mount specific to the scope which is the one i said before

[dawn pine]

okay

[dreamy moth]

let me know if that worked @dawn pine

[dawn pine]

it worked

[dreamy moth]

Cool!

[minor crescent]

??codes

[red thistle]

Redeem your goodies → https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/promo/activate (Or launcher → your name → activate code)
SBEUKOMAR | SCAVYBOI | GOONSQUAD | LIGHTSOUT | PAY2WIN | ELVISVISTA | INEEDSPACE

[dawn pine]

im not 100% sure why i ws able to put the other mount on the scope

but its werid ig

[dreamy moth]

So you can swap between the 2 sights. It can be weird fighting with a 3.5x scope at close range. Especially a night vision scope

[minor crescent]

does HDR make tarkov look better?

[dawn pine]

yeah its jsut i can put all three with one and not the other

[dreamy moth]

Wdym?

[dawn pine]

this RMR can be mounted onto my ash-12 rifle and on the gun itself

but if i try to put the scope on the gun with the mount or the scope with the mount on the gun i get an error saying no space for this item

but i dont get the error with the universal mount

[dreamy moth]

You're trying to put it on an AsH-12?

Lemme try it

Like this?

It's equipped on the gun already

[dawn pine]

yeah like that execpt using the Trijcon RMR low profile mount as the mount for the scope

[dreamy moth]

Are you trying to put the Vulcan scope onto the RMR?

[dawn pine]

yeah

and it attaches sucessfully

to the scope but not to the gun if the rmr is on the volcan

[dreamy moth]

Do you have this as well?

[shrewd python]

?

do you have a screenshot of the vulcan scope mounted on the RMR

[shrewd python]

cause i'm almost certain you can't do that

[shrewd python]

that's the Rmr mounted on the scope

not the scope mounted on the rmr

[dreamy moth]

you can't put the Vulcan scope on the RMR. it doesn't fit. Thats why you need the mount i just put in chat to be able to place it on the gun

I meant to @ Dialgev my b @shrewd python

[shrewd python]

np

[dawn pine]

and the rmr on the gun

[dawn pine]

that makes sense

[shrewd python]

okay i see your confusion

you put the rmr on the vulcan

you didn't put the vulcan on the rmr

[dreamy moth]

That should clear up the confusion but if not, I'm here to help

[dawn pine]

ty

[dreamy moth]

My pleasure!

[shrewd python]

so that first screenshot you sent lets you put other sights on the vulcan like this
it doesn't let you use the rmr to mount the vulcan itself

[dawn pine]

okay

[placid nacelle]

Can someone teach me how to play?

[shrewd python]

I'm game, you NA or EU

[placid nacelle]

Na

[shrewd python]

You're not like 12 right?

[placid nacelle]

no

[shrewd python]

cool, hop in https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/1477844126043996192

[sudden shadow]

anyone wanna play pve?

[cinder coral]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[magic condor]

hey somebody has PM makarov for part 5 on scav? if so would be nice im just new and cant seem to find the last one for the quest for long time

[cursive prawn]

hi!! welcome to OEFT!

[magic condor]

hi 🙂

[cursive prawn]

you can usually find those PM pistols easily on dead guards as a scav on streets, run a few scavs and go to lexos. often times kaban is dead, and no one bothers taking those pistols

[dreamy moth]

I don't have one, but I'm more than happy to help you find one if you'd like

[cursive prawn]

you could also run in and kill the guards and kaban on yourself

[hidden seal]

almost depressive to take all the work of doing that for a makarov

[cursive prawn]

that’s why the scav is easier

Low effort zero risk

[magic condor]

oh damn, thank you thatš useful

was running factory all the time and interchange

losing my mind trying to find the last one for days

[cursive prawn]

the guards almost always have them, and there’s like 10 of them there

so if they’re dead it’s just free game, just watch out for all the mines

[dreamy moth]

Anyone need help with anything?

[cursive prawn]

every one of those little red cones is a mine, you cannot be in it’s “red zone”

[magic condor]

oh nice, thank you

[cursive prawn]

do you need help with anytbing

[magic condor]

that's really helpful

[cursive prawn]

[hidden seal]

think on how many souls exploded to map all these

[dreamy moth]

Nope. The only thing I want help with is Snowball because Partisan refuses to show but otherwise, I've basically done everything else

[cursive prawn]

i’d start snowball with partisan tbh, but if you’re already that far, just go AFK in a bush. it’ll start lowering your karma (assuming PvP) if PvE then idk you’re hosed js keep running it back

[dreamy moth]

PVE here

[cursive prawn]

i’d run back and forth from shorline docks, HEPS, and the weather station. go inside, chill for a minute, then run to the next place. he loves to show up while you’re in a building, then BLANKET the area with tripmines

[dreamy moth]

I was at 11/13 but i impact naded myself fighting glukhar on reserve

[cursive prawn]

L

glukar is easy, just play him like the goons

they push you, you kill

[dreamy moth]

Exactly

[cursive prawn]

i’ve taken him and his entire like 6 man out with a KEDR with that strat

[dreamy moth]

I will say, i don't like fighting Shturman

[dreamy moth]

LMAO

[cursive prawn]

ya he you need like a tiny slice of an angle or hard push

[dreamy moth]

I just don't know where to fight him from anymore. I used to do top of dickhead then i think they changed his agro and i havent been up there since

[cursive prawn]

he is to be expected anywhere, he now travels and chases a lot more

[dreamy moth]

Shturman?

[cursive prawn]

oh i meant glukar

[dreamy moth]

Oh. Glukhar i can take care of. I meant shturman

[cursive prawn]

shturman uhhhh ya he’s like always crouched behind one of the 100 log piles

and then when he does stand up he’s usually hard agroed on you

[dreamy moth]

And then he shoots your head off at a weird ass angle

[cursive prawn]

it’s best if he’s agro on another PMC before you

[dreamy moth]

Yeah but its rough in PVE

[cursive prawn]

yep

[cursive prawn]

if you have a friend you can always have them go in, agro, then you come in once he’s located from far far away

[dreamy moth]

Because there's almost never PMCs that go through sawmill unless he's not there

[dreamy moth]

True but i usually fly solo

I'll have to ask my buddies how they handle him

[cursive prawn]

if you just keep running it eventually you’ll figure out his behavior, rushing him makes it easier. come from flare side, into green building, and slowly take out the guards as they push up and home whenever he makes it

[dreamy moth]

That's what i think is a good idea

[cursive prawn]

W ideas in here today

[torn rapids]

he just rushes you in pve

for some reason

just go above 123 at that logs, shoot him from a distance. if you miss, take cover and let him run to you

[dreamy moth]

Fair enough. I just had him on the coast on duffle side. I'll definitely look for that later on

[magic condor]

did the punisher 5 found the pistol on 1st try on doing kaban thanks haha

took me 3 days to find 1 makarov :d

[cinder coral]

I'd recommend duffle bags on streets next time

They give a ridiculous amount of them

[cursive prawn]

awesome!! feel free to @ me whenever, im usually in #eft-chat

[brisk epoch]

best way to get paca pmc kills for ref?

factory shotgun?

[lilac lion]

Factory in general, i used a mjolonir for mine

[proud pasture]

Use HP slugs and leg meta people on customs while wearing setup gear. Gets two tasks done.

Slow walk up to either dorm when you hear gunshots in whatever one, and creep the door open and shoot them when their in the hall. always works.

[toxic steeple]

so ive finished some of the side stories, but dont seem to have any of the "main evidences"

this is all ive got

[coral raptor]

anytips on input latency i tried nvidia reflex on and on+boost but both seem to have a negative effect on my end also i have dlss off would appreciate if anyone can help

[outer notch]

best way to find cultists?

[bleak tiger]

Customs at night, just have to fight of chads

[fiery moat]

guys is it possible that sanitar spawns with only one guard???

i just killed him and then one guard showed up, i killed that guard and looted both, still no noise, i checked everywhere

[feral gust]

reflex only helps avoid the additional latency one would get at 99% gpu usage but if your fps is just low it doesn't make things better. How many fps do you get ?

[fiery moat]

nevermind guys

i almost died damn

guards hit soo hard damnnn

my tier 6 armor melted instantly and i survived with 59hp wtf

I just killed scav that had dorm 314 key on him.. was it player scav or i just got omega lucky? its by far most expensive item i found :D

he had it on backpack tho and had 2 guns

[minor crescent]

probably pscav

[hearty walrus]

boys i did 3 raids and cant find an extract ... lol

[alpine sphinx]

sometimes its a pain as a beginner

there are websites that show the locations of extractions

[hearty walrus]

ive looked up some maps but i dont know where i am on the map to use them properly lmao

[alpine sphinx]

you can try to look for landmarks in maps you play

i would try to play ground zero cus its easy for me to remember the spots

[hearty walrus]

im trying to unlock the smallest map

[alpine sphinx]

cus its just a few buildings

remember atleast 2 extractions from each map if possible

[hearty walrus]

that seems like a good tip lol

are they always avalible to use or are they on a timer?

[marsh marlin]

Should i sell 314 marked key for 945k roubles to trader and buy junk bix box for 1,1 mil? Good idea for new account?

[shrewd python]

definitley not

[shrewd python]

They vary, some extracts are always open
Transits are always on a timer
Extracts you see with "???" next to them may or may not be open, you gotta look - there will be like a flare or floodlight or something to indicate if it's open
Extracts that say co-op can only be used by scavs and PMC's working together
V-ex extracts require money
some require keys or power turned on or other shit like a red rebel
just check the wiki regarding extracts when you're trying to find which to go to

[shrewd python]

Junk box only holds barter items, if you know what you need to save for future quests and you hoarde it's super useful
but if you're new it won't really be too important for a bit
marked key also sells for way more on flea

so save it for sure

[hearty walrus]

ooh i havnt checked out the wiki yet

[shrewd python]

Wiki is huge
they have lots of maps and almost all the info you could want

[shrewd python]

also lmk if you want a hand starting out

[hearty walrus]

tysm

i would love help but it takes me like 5-8 mins to load into a map lol

[shrewd python]

Do you have other performance issues or just long loading?

[hearty walrus]

i just tweaked my settings, i was on high. i turned everything to low to see if it will make a difference. i havnt checked yet tho

[shrewd python]

careful going to low, it can overload CPU, usually people get best results at med settings

Tarkov is weird

[hearty walrus]

o really?

[shrewd python]

Yea low settings seem to shift a ton of the load to CPU
if you have a better gpu than CPU, def don't go low
if they're about the same, you'll do best on med settings

[hearty walrus]

i gotta go on med for sure lmao

[minor crescent]

no way

i've made ''introduction'' with no headphones in real life with a kit thats worth like 50k

[shrewd python]

what

[minor crescent]

i've manage to do the task introduction with no audio whatsoever and with a 50k kit

[shrewd python]

any reason for not using audio lol?

[minor crescent]

i did not feel like it

[minor crescent]

how do people get the red rebel?

cause i cant loot melees from bosses

[jolly latch]

i just purchased mine on the flea, but im sure one of the bosses drops a lootable one

[minor crescent]

its pricey tho

i bought the cultist knife,i died and i just lost it

from flea

[coral raptor]

more than 144 frames most of the time, which is more than enough cause i play on 2k 144hz

[feral gust]

i personally cap at 144 even though i could do more, becuz you dont get frame loss from ADS

i mean you still do- you just keep your fps stable at one value no matter what

[coral raptor]

oh will git a try for sure

what about smooth motion tho

[feral gust]

lots of people like it. i tried it in firing range and there is a lot of ghosting, personally i dont like that

if you move in 'unpredictable' ways like AD it struggles and ghosts the red dot left and right

[azure fog]

to all those who are more experienced, what do you suggest for the initial Tour tasks in labs? (not just getting in, but like finding the specific rooms, etc.) i'm not great at this game and still pretty new, so labs is going to be a nightmare. but i also don't feel like waiting around for months to be able to effectively combat labs mains, especially considering other maps and whatnot are locked behind the tour tasks.

[slender plover]

it took me a few labs runs as I had never done labs before

dont underestimate raiders

[azure fog]

yeah ive seen people get shredded by raiders in a few clips, they have some crazy shit

[slender plover]

it doesnt all have to be done in 1 raid

and iirc its all on one side of the map

server room you can exit right by the managers office

then access the stairs right by server room go to the bottom turn left and left again and then right to enter the sewer hallway

[crimson thicket]

No other maps are locked behind going to Lab

[azure fog]

i thought reserve was?

[odd oriole]

its not

[crimson thicket]

No. You just have to turn in dogtags

[azure fog]

i see, how do i get the task for that then?

[crimson thicket]

Complete tour up to the point where you go shoreline and use the intercom to talk to the guys at terminal

[azure fog]

that's the thing, i can't progress in tour without going to labs

[crimson thicket]

You can.

[polar elm]

Is woods typically the hardest place to extract for new players? Been getting my cheeks clapped here like no other hahaha

[crimson thicket]

You unlock customs and then I'm pretty sure the next task after that is go to shoreline

Actually you do customs, then factory for mechanic, then woods and then the shoreline task comes up

[azure fog]

here's what it looks like for me, if it helps at all

[crimson thicket]

You have shoreline unlocked. Did you use the intercom to talk to the guys at terminal?

[azure fog]

nah, i didnt know i had to do that

[crimson thicket]

Make sure you've exhausted all dialogue with traders

Your quest status should update to something like "learn how to escape tarkov"

[azure fog]

i see

[crimson thicket]

That will give you a task to go to shoreline and visit the terminal. Use the intercom, they'll tell you to fuck off. Go extract, you'll fail the "learn how to escape" task and unlock the requirements for reserve and lighthouse

[azure fog]

ahh ok, thank you

[crimson thicket]

You got it big dog

[azure fog]

i also saw that labss eventually gets unlocked via tour, is that what those labs tasks actually accomplish?

[crimson thicket]

Yes it will allow you to just select it from map screen rather than having to transit

[azure fog]

alr, again thanks, that clears a lot up

[coral raptor]

i figured it was the reason for my input latency but it wasn't other than that i haven't noticed anydownsides from it but then again i only played the game like 16hrs or something

[brave forge]

best map for friend from the west part 1 other than factory?

[humble otter]

Whatever you’re confident with

[brave forge]

yea but my best map is like interchange and i feel like it wouldnt be good on that

[humble otter]

Ok, then what other options would you say is a good one? It depends on your play style too I guess. Like customs got a bit of everything and you can run into a lot of “normal geared” players there

Or woods if you like a bit of distance but very easily to fall back if you get into trouble and flank or simply bail out

Ground zero could also be a nice map. there’s so many new players playing this map. And the extracts are somewhat 50-100 meters any direction of you need to leave. It’s a bit linear but if you learn underground it’s definitely a good map to either flank or reposition if needed

[brave forge]

alr ty

[alpine sphinx]

Brb not

[uncut arch]

I used the flare to extract but i got shot by the sniper

does someone know why

[shrewd python]

prob used it wrong

[severe fiber]

im on the tour quest and i extractet from customs but the quest still isnt marked as done

[shrewd python]

Well tour is a very long task, or are you saying it didn't update that you'd made it out of customs

[severe fiber]

quest says extract from customs or visit it 3 times i visited it 4 times and extracted once

and its still the same

so the second thing you said

[shrewd python]

did you extract as a PMC or scav

[severe fiber]

PMC

[shrewd python]

hmm, that's weird
try a restart but they did update that task just today so it might be buggy

[severe fiber]

i restarted 3 times

[shrewd python]

I'd file a bug report

my guess is when they updated it to allow visits instead of just extracts it bugged

[shrewd python]

it wasn't a run through right?

[severe fiber]

no it was survived

over 1000 xp

[shrewd python]

yea some other dude is having the same issue, it's gotta be a bug

[severe fiber]

what do i do now

i was really lucky to extract im very bad on customs

[undone drum]

can you post the screenshot of the quest?

[severe fiber]

the optional quest was visit 3 times so otherwise it should be completed too

[shrewd python]

not much, wait for a patch ig
keep going customs and get better at it

[shrewd python]

a dude in #beginners-chat is having the same issue

[severe fiber]

should i contact support or something

[shrewd python]

Yea def file a bug report through the launcher

[severe fiber]

bro im going back to arc raiders an arena breakout till this is fixed 🙏 why cant i just progress once

like im searching for a lighter for like 5 days now

[shrewd python]

You gotta put in like 20 deaths on a map before you start to get the flow and know how to work it
there's loads of customs quests
You'll def benefit if you keep at it

[severe fiber]

for illumination 1

[severe fiber]

i trust you im grinding

[shrewd python]

And who knows, maybe the task will complete at some point

[severe fiber]

i created a ticket and it said ticket send 0 tickets left

[weary sky]

bcs you cant find it?

just gotta get lucky

[severe fiber]

i had so many raids now im getting insane

[weary sky]

is it bcs of the new update or just that you cant find it

[severe fiber]

schade

[weary sky]

if you need help or whatever im down but like

[spice cedar]

so what does the new "perma character" wipe thing mean, does my traders and level still get wiped or what

[cyan knot]

[shrewd python]

no this character supposedly will not wipe
you will get a new character you can play on that's totally seperate that will wipe

[spice cedar]

so i can play 2 characters, one wipes and one doesnt?

[shrewd python]

on separate servers yes, similar to how PvE is different from PvP now

there will be a third option, a seasonally wiped character

[spice cedar]

any kind of wipe will be in june ish right

[shrewd python]

no it'll be q3 sometime

so July-September
and that's if they stick to the roadmap

which they rarely do, and if they do, it'll be as late as possible

[spice cedar]

ok nice

im so stuck on tarkov shooter part 3

got it as i was lv21 so i couldnt farm timmies on ground zero

[shrewd python]

Yea that's one I try to rush, so much easier early wipe
I would still just go factory though if I was you

[spice cedar]

yeah thats the plan now, but i only have a chance to kill the unarmoured timmies with the vpo

most of them are chads with m855a1 and lv5 armour

[shrewd python]

if you can get APM or an MXLR you can definitley take anyone down if you play smart

[spice cedar]

i unlocked the marlin but i only have the low tier ammo

and i dont have apm

i have a good amount of 7.62x54 t45, but it cant onetap anyone unless i hit heads

[shrewd python]

Yea I mean it doesn't take too long to get 3 headshots spamming factory raids and playing smart

[calm sundial]

any1 know what this new patch did for unlocking lighthouse. do i still need to give mechaanic 20k

[placid wedge]

what level shld my pmc be if I just want to pvp?

[shrewd python]

more like December but I like your optimism

[royal adder]

Yes

[royal adder]

You can pvp with anything technically.

[placid wedge]

but shldnt i have certain ammo unlocked from traders etc?

@royal adder

[royal adder]

Ammo unlock at differing levels and some are behind quests.
Same goes for guns and attachments.

But if you want to be able to run anything you want in PvP at meta level, it will be minimum 40.

[shrewd python]

Level 1

[slender plover]

Are the HK and M4 functionally different in anyway

[placid wedge]

how important is meta in this game? I understand for themost part a headshot is a one shot if you dont hit the hlemet right?

[royal adder]

Fire rate and stats.

And cost too

[royal adder]

using shit ammo if you hit them in the face, you can still 1 shot ppl regardless

[shrewd python]

Much less important than other competetive games
You can go crazy with a kedr

[royal adder]

The gun is just a thing to throw that bullet at people with different accuracy or recoil

[placid wedge]

im just curious bc I see people complain about joining wipe late and nto having meta

[lavish kindle]

What is the update today for?

[slender plover]

It’s more so ammo

[royal adder]

buuuut then again. If you fight an end game geared player. They just need to hit you in the chest and you die but you can only shoot their face.

so yes, you can win but it is more difficult to

[shrewd python]

Tarkov is certainly not fair, but even if you started early wipe, you still get outgeared pretty damn instantly if you're new

[royal adder]

^

outgear honestly isn't the biggest headache. It is the 15k hour john tarkovs

even with beginner gear they still win

[slender plover]

A lot of cheaters too, so just be prepared to die and suffer a lot

[shrewd python]

Yea the game has been out for a decade, you will run into people who you will never be as good as

[placid wedge]

lmaoo, idk what to do in this game if I shld pvp to get comfortable or to try to quest.

[royal adder]

pvp when the situation calls for it

but no need to go out of your way to hunt ppl

[shrewd python]

Oh def don't go looking for PvP

[royal adder]

just do your quest, loot stuff and go to juicy spots. You will encounter pvp every now and then.

[slender plover]

Some maps you gotta be ready to fight off the rip

[shrewd python]

Don't be the guy who hears footsteps and only runs or hides
There's a time to be aggressive if you need to
but I wouldn't go looking for fights

[slender plover]

Shoreline, lighthouse, ground zero

[royal adder]

be a sneaky beaky lil timmy, they will run past you and that is a free kill

[shrewd python]

first thing is to learn how to survive on a map
then you can learn how to fight on it

[royal adder]

oh yahh, true. Need to learn the extracts

[placid wedge]

the only thing that sucks is the quests take me to all these maps

[royal adder]

do it slowly :3

[placid wedge]

thats why i was wondering if I shld focus on one map and idk just run around and fight lol to learn the map and i guess gun play

[shrewd python]

Focusing maps makes a huge difference

[royal adder]

imo being good at 1 map helps with progression

you can bounce back easily from losses in other maps after you learn 1 map well

[shrewd python]

You gotta die like 15 times at least on a map before you start to get the flow of it
hotspots, spawns, loot, timing, etc.

[placid wedge]

although iM sure I will get to a point where i have nothing in stash xd

[royal adder]

e.g: I learn streets because it is peak

[shrewd python]

And yea, this is a good point
having a home-base map is really nice

[royal adder]

peak loot

[placid wedge]

i heard streets has bad fps?

[royal adder]

very

[shrewd python]

Yea if you have a sub-par computer don't choose streets to main

[royal adder]

which is why even cheaters dont rly wanna go there

i get to eat loot real good there lol

[placid wedge]

i heard if you bring the wrong scope to streets your fps die lol

[shrewd python]

You'll find having way too full of a stash is going to be a much bigger problem

[cosmic hemlock]

"you heard " but what is your experience .

[royal adder]

do not bring T12W thermal scope

U will legit pass away on streets

[placid wedge]

my experience on streets is load in, get lost , and die from unkown direction lol

[royal adder]

imo streets is okayish for me. I can tell it has lower fps but pc is quite high end by todays standards.

9800x3d cpu :>

but if you are like 5 year old pc, you will lag to 20-40fps

[cosmic hemlock]

streets is one of my favor maps since its inception . as well as shoreline . when shoreline was released it was a mess and soon after became my favo map ..

[placid wedge]

I have a ryzen 9 9900x is that fine?

[hidden seal]

my pv is 2018 and I still get 50

[royal adder]

Yeah

[royal adder]

pc on steroids

[placid wedge]

so 50 fps on streets is considered good?

[tidal lagoon]

no

[placid wedge]

also should i play the standalone multipalyer mode?

[cosmic hemlock]

after 6000 hours and playing sicne 2017 . i say NO !

its a shit show of cheaters

[tidal lagoon]

are u referring to arena

[placid wedge]

from what i understand the standalone multiplayer just lvls you up adn gets you coins?

yes the arena mode i believe

[tidal lagoon]

arena is free loot

downsides is it costs money, the movement is stupid and the hit reg is worse than main game, but other than that its good for learning gunplay and earning ruble,xp and other loot

if uve got the money to spare id definitely say its worth, its a great supplement especially when u are new and will struggle much more with ruble

[shrewd python]

^

[placid wedge]

ok very good info

if i want to play with people how do i go about doing that?

[tidal lagoon]

grouping up with people, main game or in arena?

#pvp-lfg #pve-lfg for main game

[placid wedge]

i guess main game to learn beginner quests and whatnot

ahhh okay how about for arena?

[tidal lagoon]

u can ask around in the chats here but they also have their own discord which is probably better

This quest is not working for me, does anyone has this issue. I've completed it already.

[weary sky]

yep

[hidden seal]

they manage to break at least half of what they touch.. so funny

[proven nymph]

I have the same problem, do u have a solution?

[zenith cloud]

Nope game developers should fix it!

[proven nymph]

I see, thanks for ur answer

[zenith cloud]

I can not unlock next maps 🙁

[humble otter]

RIP

[proven nymph]

Use the transits on the existing maps

I unlocked Woods by transfering from Factory, and did the Jaeger quest that way

[zenith cloud]

I don't know new to the game 😄

[proven nymph]

Open up a Customs map online, and you can use the "Transit to Factory" exit for example to unlock Factory

Im new too btw

[zenith cloud]

ahh okay thx

[cinder coral]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[crisp bloom]

Hi,
I completed multiple PMC raids on Factory and successfully extracted with "Survived" status, but the objective "Survive and extract from Factory" is not progressing.
I also completed the "Visit Factory 3 times" objective, but the main objective remains incomplete.
It seems the quest is bugged.
Thank you.

[hidden seal]

because all tour quests are bugged sicne today's deploy.. you probably are out of luck and need to wait them deploy a hot fix

[crisp bloom]

damm

oks thank you

[hidden seal]

and yes they were amateurish enough to deploy on a friday

since they are in Russia.. probably sunday afternoon you will get a fix (when it is monday morning there)

[marsh marlin]

Did i break something up when i sold recorder (item you get in special slot on level 1) right away? How do i get it back? xd I have green 1 in handbook and i want to get rid of it

also what is this? what am I supposed to do with it? is it only some kind of joke or easter egg and i can sell it?

[placid quest]

its mainly a joke gun, the ammo it uses does 1 damage. most people use them to damage armor for a quest. Its not worth much to sell.

[old helm]

What are the best grahpics settings, used to play the game a few years ago and the game loked a lot better

[fervent crow]

I hav e already survived twice once solo one with another and I already visited it 4 times so idk why it isnt completed

[hidden seal]

because it is bugged.

Basically almost always that they change somethign about storyline misisosn one gets bugged until they hot fix it

[ocean spear]

Hey gang! Does anyone have a fix for the "One or more errors occurred during matching" issue? The person who isn't the Group leader gets kicked out with that error

[fervent crow]

So basically I am screwed and cant progress....

[fervent crow]

Should I reset my account? will that fix it

[vocal parrot]

same here

[hidden seal]

no one knows

probably you will have to wait a few days until they fix it

if you reset you risk gettign stuck even earlier...

[placid wedge]

i got stuck on the first story line mission lol

[hidden seal]

well if you are in first then might be worth trying a reset since you cannot get stuck even earlier

[placid wedge]

i mean ill probably get stuck again no?

[hidden seal]

they change it to make easier for new players

and ended up making them stuck lol

[hidden seal]

no idea

no one knows what causes it

[sleek path]

My mates are trying to ensure access to reserve. they have done the terminal thing for shoreline and done intercom, they have a task survive and extract from sureline or visit shoreline 3 times. and We just survived 3 raids in a row on that map. Any ideas why no reserve?

:(

[errant owl]

got a bug on tour where i need to extract on interchange then talk to skier to unlock customs but after extracting many times on interchange still dosent let me move past the quest any fixes would be highly appreciated?

Anyone know why this build doesn’t work? I have the ronin arms 8 inch suppressor for it but it won’t let me attach it

[tidal lagoon]

u have put a intergrated suppressor barrel on it so it can only use the mpx-sd intergrated suppressor, if u want another suppressor u need to change barrel

[thin parrot]

Ah I see

What about for the 8 inch ronin arms Suppressor? What MPX barrel can I use?

[tidal lagoon]

right click it and press linked search

[brave forge]

[hasty pelican]

i have a question, when i go into traders their item are loading so slow. are there any way i can speed up the loading process of traders items

[polar elm]

I downloaded the update and was playing fine today, came home and just loaded up to a “game files corrupted” screen after a second short update, tried editing the launcher path and messing with some things before attempting reinstall, got a hard “no” even as admin, resinstalling now and hoping things work. Had to uninstall using revo because something was wrong. If anyone else experienced this and knows the fix lmk appreciate it

[verbal cape]

i dont have a lot of space what should i sell and keep?

[proven inlet]

can anyone help me out? brand new to pc gaming

[narrow ivy]

Keep guns, armor, ammo, mags, attachments that you need and things you might need for future quests (check the wiki for that)
Sell, Dogtags, junk loot items, high value loot items for the big cash.

[silent pebble]

hey boys could someone help me with the quest to unlock jaeger and the easy money quest line?

[undone drum]

DM me, if u still playing

[undone drum]

still need?

[silent pebble]

ya if possible

[crude tinsel]

yo my thorax is zeroed out, at what weight do I start taking damage?

and if my legs are fine, is the damage gonna go to thorax anyway?

[humble otter]

You’re fine, unless you’re carrying a tank battery

[undone drum]

Overwheight does any damage while running?
I thought its just when jumping

[humble otter]

Just avoid taking fall dmg, barbed wire and so on

Idk, I didn’t think so either. But when he said it I assumed 80kg pluss did after the update

[crude tinsel]

I always tought it was much lower tho. like 40-50+ but very very small damage

[humble otter]

Noooo

You’re fine

[crude tinsel]

ok thanks

[humble otter]

Stay away from the barbed wire though. That’s a killer for sure and easily missable when you’re hugging the maps along those concrete walls/fence

[stark relic]

what attachment gives a visible spectrum light and visible spectrum laser at the same time?

[tidal lagoon]

any newbies need help on PVE with quest/gear?

[elfin tapir]

gunsmith 14 is now impossible?

recoil 8 too high and part requirements mean it cannot get lower
(300 recoil max, 308 rn)

[shrewd python]

could you send a screenshot of the task description

where it tells you needed parts and stats

[light pagoda]

they have already updated the wiki

[shrewd python]

why are you saying it has to be 300 recoil max?

[tidal lagoon]

prolly just wrong tactical device

[elfin tapir]

wiki

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Gunsmith_-_Part_14#Modding_Screen

[elfin tapir]

shit

[elfin tapir]

reading ability -1

i may be dumb

[elfin tapir]

probably misread it tbh

[latent rapids]

[obtuse olive]

[cursive prawn]

hi!! welcome to OEFT!

[obtuse olive]

I do believe there is supposed to be a dialog option with ragman but that doesnt show up either

[cursive prawn]

this storyline is currently bugged you will have to be patient for the fix

[obtuse olive]

ah okay, thank you!

[hidden seal]

the friday eploy bugged things.. unfortunately peopel affected likely will have to wait monday for a fix

[obtuse olive]

Fair enough, thanks!

[brazen abyss]

why does my game keep shuting down in middle of a raid

[vivid coral]

could someone help teach me good pathing on interchange?

[fiery moat]

is my character big chungus or is the level difference between intellect and metabolism normal

[tidal lagoon]

intellect is a stat that barely levels and is useless

[fiery moat]

honestly i kinda like the elite ability of it

knowing the exact amounts of bullets in mags whenever u check them is useful

but i wont go out of my way just to level it

[elfin sinew]

I think that's level 20 mag drills your thinking of

[elfin sinew]

Do you still need help?

[hidden seal]

I think that is true for a LOT of skills

[wary umbra]

is tarkov in decent state now? i played first wipe in lie 0.6 or smt when the recoil changes were, i then apparently its been horrible since then
but im thinking about coming back now and is it worth it? i have 100-200 h or smt soo im not that good either (and i havent played for 1 wipe at 0.6 like 2 years ago) and i dont really enjoy pve

[lost cave]

just play the dam game buddy

anyone tryna scav rn???? im low lvl still learning

[wary umbra]

apparently for the past year or two the game has been absolote shit and i want to have somewhat enjoyeble expierience without 50 bugs per raid and getting shot from kilometer from bushes by scav 9/10 raids every single time i play this game

[lost cave]

yeah sounds like tarkov

[wary umbra]

welp before its been somewhat enjoyeble for me atlest and i just wanna see how its now tbh tho since apparently now i wont wipe maybe i can get atleast 42lvl max traders or maybe somehow kappa

for me worst part of tarkov is grinding xp later in the game

and money alongside quest since i have basic edition

and with seasonal characters coming in game might just be pve and unheard edition and now with tarkov dying it might just split playerbase again and will just straight up die because tarkov is tarkov

[cinder coral]

Lmao tarkov isn't dying

Thats just streamers fearmongering.

[wary umbra]

well everyone has been telling me and i seen that raids are empty most of the time or atleast lack pmcs idk tho i just recently started looking at that

[hidden seal]

you need to go for the servers with highest population at certain times of day

there is not enough peopel that late ina wipe to keep all servers all maps filled all the time

[wary umbra]

i mostly play EU servers during day since my router is terrible past that and i start getting above 200 and from what i remember tarkov kicks you out after like 300-400 or smt soo i dont have much choice at that

[ancient thorn]

whats the best way to spend money on peacekeeper

[elfin sinew]

Depends on if you don't care if you lose money or not

[ancient thorn]

losing money is inevitable, but what is the item that you can keep buying and selling without losing much money

[elfin sinew]

The shotgun he sells

Buy all his stock and sell back to him

[ancient thorn]

and after that ? cause i need to spend 15k xD

[elfin sinew]

What trader level are you?

[ancient thorn]

ok lvl 2

pk lvl 2 **

[elfin sinew]

Probably the mp5 (barter first) and sell them back?

Normally you can sell information items to him for good spent money, things like diary's and sdiarys

[lost cave]

anyone trying to team up im lvl 8 played a little before too but still new. i have shorline task rn

[elfin sinew]

What servers are you on?

[fickle cairn]

wait what happend to all the vc channels?

used to have them for each map

[lost cave]

im NA WEST

[elfin sinew]

The bot was too taxing to run so they removed it, you have to create ur vc and name the map in description

[elfin sinew]

Sorry, I am Eu, I can't join you :(

[wary umbra]

anyone wanna play? im new (tho i played for some time few years ago but i dont know anything now)i have lvl4 im at Eu servers

[elfin sinew]

I'll wait until you do your ground zero tasks then join you

I can be in VC with you if needed

[wary umbra]

ok

thanks

[fickle cairn]

why are scavs and bosses just walking in place after i kill them and theyre unlootable

[elfin sinew]

kNOWN BUG IN GANME

sorry all caps, mid raid

[fickle cairn]

havent played in months

also what is with the coloring? its so dim and depressing

[elfin sinew]

Welcome to tarkov lol

[fickle cairn]

i literally had it changed to look like a cartoon, extremely pink and everything

[shrewd python]

lemme know if you want a third

[open marten]

how do i get this

[next nimbus]

find them in grenade cases

thats the most common way of getting them

[open marten]

what the look like ive never seen them in this game before

[next nimbus]

its the thing in the picture

its just a yellow brick that says tp-200

[open marten]

oh ok thanks

[next nimbus]

np, scav reserve and loot the crates there

[next nimbus]

go to ur gpu drivers and just pump up the saturation

they removed saturation in the postfx settings so you have to do it outside the game

[fickle cairn]

thats depressing, i dont like messing with my settings out of game

[next nimbus]

if ur on amd its easy to do

idk about nvidia

[fickle cairn]

5070ti

[next nimbus]

yeah good luck lol

never had an nvidia card so i got no clue how to work their software lol

[elfin sinew]

You can join if you want, playing EU tho and doing this guys quests

[broken heath]

i have 3 multiple displays that i use. the main one that I use for the game is not being chosen whenever i load up the game. The one that is chosen is the wrong one and every time that I try to choose the right display the game freezes. If anyone can help that would be great

[elfin sinew]

Does your monitor that you want to use show up in the monitor list?

[broken heath]

yes it does but when i try to chose the montior that i want the game to be on it freezes the game

[elfin sinew]

Odd, is the resolution for that monitor not 1920x1080? I heard anything different can be hit and miss

[true moon]
