[toxic trench]

[undone drum]

Focus now to unlock traders Prapor and Jaeger. U can buy stuff from them too, so u don't need to hoard guns like that

[crisp surge]

that is so fucking usefull

[crisp surge]

but if I dont have guns then what am I to give to my teammates

and also what am I to use

also I have them only cuz of gear fear

[next nimbus]

Sell the vsk

[crisp surge]

[undone drum]

At some point buy scav junkbox from therapist to store non combat items like the drill and so on

[next nimbus]

You wont be able to feed it good ammo till way later

[crisp surge]

oh okay

[next nimbus]

And once you are able to you have better options for 9x39

[undone drum]

Can u buy ammo and magazine for those guns?
Right click on gun, linked search. Top left, click on ammo

[crisp surge]

tarkovs community is so helpfull

[crisp surge]

no flea market dawg

[undone drum]

Linked search shows you if u can buy from traders too

[crisp surge]

oh cool

[next nimbus]

Once u get prapor you can buy 5.45 ammo and mags

That isnt complete dogshit

[crisp surge]

I need to get prapor then

I need 5.45 for my aks so badly

[undone drum]

Dont sell 1 LEDx and 3 GPUs. U need them for later quests, and they are pain to find

[crisp surge]

ik ik I am NOT planning on selling those any time soon. I was tempted when I was at like 20k rubles but ik I need those for a quest some time later

[undone drum]

Why is there a yellow tick on the vsk? Hover with mouse over it real quick

[crisp surge]

I uhh

I sold the vsk

[elfin sinew]

They changed that? Can't use friends gym no more?

[hidden seal]

nope . tested on 4 gyms yesterday

[elfin sinew]

Ouch, thats gonna hurt progress for lower level players

[hidden seal]

i just need to get an extra metal cutting scissor.. but for some reason these are so rare when i raid

[marsh marlin]

Do i get that yellow checkmark on those items i have to deliver when i randomly encounter them in raid, so i dont have to remember which weapon and armor exactly to bring out?

[astral glen]

Yes they will have the yellow checkmark

[marsh marlin]

Cool, thx.

[royal adder]

did they update the AI for boss and normal scavs?

they're insane now

Kaban's killing people from all over the map, and they have crazy aimbot and teamwork. Like they deadass push as a group of 5 now. ;-;

[hardy pivot]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[proper tapir]

i need someone to teach me what to sell and what to keep please

if you can help me please

[cursive prawn]

hi!! welcome to OEFT!

that is a skill that will take time to learn yourself, id highly suggest using the wiki as well. you can search every item, know what tasks its used for, you can search the flea for the avg cost, etc.

but its something you have to learn yourself, overtime

[proper tapir]

OK THANKS

[marsh marlin]

What starting quests and content should i "rush" to obtain atleast 1 weapon that i can build decently (basic scope, can buy ammo from trader, can buy maybe even gun form trader?)

Currently without flea market i need to play whatever bad gun i take from scav or if very lucky from player. I have workshop to modify my guns but i dont have any parts to start moding

All traders lv. 1

[cursive prawn]

yeah as a new player youre gonna be running whatever you get/find.

just do the tasks as you get them, you will level up quick through initial levels.

[hybrid drift]

does anyone knows how to "fix object reference not set to an instance of an object escape from tarkov" while loading as scav in PVE?

[undone drum]

Quest Tour, unlocking Skier first

He is the first, who has a weapon, ammo, mags and a scope

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Tour#Skier_-_Customs

[wary umbra]

start doing tour to unlock more maps and traders skier and prapor have decent stuff and quest give some goodies too

[cursive prawn]

hi!! welcome to OEFT!

[wary umbra]

umm, to what?

[cursive prawn]

official escape from tarkov discord

[wary umbra]

oh, well hello

[ancient thorn]

when does btr spawn in raid ?

at the beginning or after 5 min ?

[undone drum]

Like 3-5 minites

on woods at usec checkpoint

[lone pendant]

where to report ingame bug? I have played the same scav 5 times, rekt PMC and bears on reserve and when extracting , nothing happens it brings me out without the loot I have taken just now like I just started like a scav

[peak hound]

Anyone have any idea how to reset graphic settings at a deeper level than just the in game menu?

My scopes look blurry/smeary no matter what setting i use.

Taa, Taa high, dlss 4.5, dlss 4.. no matter the setting scopes look like shit... I am thinking maybe i bugged a setting somewhere

[cinder kernel]

does completing balancing p1 on pve take away the free trial from the pvp one? I was saving the pvp one so i could get theta but idk if itll use it up on pve

[safe elk]

They are always going to be blurry with dlss

[hidden seal]

not always.. it is weird.. for some peopel is barely noticeable for some people is harsher

[burnt garden]

To finish tour tasks should I just go into the locations with nothing and try to extract

[next nimbus]

if you bring nothing you get tagged and cursed

tagged and cursed status means scavs know where you are and actively hunt you down

and they have much better aim

[burnt garden]

What if I bring single bandage

[next nimbus]

you need a primary weapon plus some other stuff

best way to avoid it is to scav factory and throw that gear on your pmc

or just bring an actual kit in

[fleet charm]

Does the status go away if you find good gear in the middle of the raid

[next nimbus]

iirc it does but not immedietely

like if you get good enough gear it might take a few mins to kick in

[ancient thorn]

any tips for getting this last bit of xp outside raid ?

[humble otter]

Examine keycards if you haven’t already

[ancient thorn]

how do i do it ?

[humble otter]

Oh right

[ancient thorn]

maybe if i add someone with them on the item showcase xD

[ancient thorn]

but yeah that would do it tho

[humble otter]

What about figurines?

[ancient thorn]

lvl 30 also xD

[humble otter]

Fuck

Normal keys?

[ancient thorn]

25 XDDD

[humble otter]

[ancient thorn]

we are getting close tho lmao

[humble otter]

Go to fence

[ancient thorn]

nothing there i have not examined yet

[humble otter]

You probably won’t get enough xp at him anyways. Just do a factory raid id say

[ancient thorn]

dang it

[ancient thorn]

solid tips tho, wouldve worked other wipes xDD

thx a lot anyway, will try and go another raid for 25

[humble otter]

Good luck

[lyric brook]

How do I unlock lighthouse?

[simple sigil]

How does one go about gettting better ammo for the M4A1 (lvl 10 atm)

[cold mulch]

You need to get peacekeeper to level 2

I’m lvl 27 atm and I’ve been playing for about 100hrs

[simple sigil]

thats at lvl 14 right at rep 0?

[cold mulch]

No you need rep 2 I believe

To get

And it’s 2 dollars a round

762 fmj is really easy to find on scavs in raid tho for low tier ammo

[simple sigil]

alr thanks!

[cold mulch]

Yepp

[atomic frost]

any advice for when a transit from custom to interchange takes over 1 hour???

[cursive prawn]

hi!! welcome to OEFT!

that certainly doesn't sound right. unfortunately i wouldn't know how to fix this issue, i would suggest asking in #community-support someone with more information may be able to help you.

[atomic frost]

not the first time, but also not the first time when i also found a m60, but thanks. i head there now 😄

[cunning plume]

any1 know best way to try and find a smoke balaclava?

[cursive prawn]

you find them on scavs, just scav hunt

[peak hound]

As i said they look the same with taa

[cyan knot]

There are quite a few wooden boxes in the forest

[willow dove]

Hi guys! I'm experiencing constant frame stutters sometimes that looks like a blur when moving the mouse. It fixes itself when vising the settings menu. what is this and how to fix it?

[cursive prawn]

hi!! welcome to OEFT!

i don't have an immediate answer to this question, but for the best answer i suggest posting your issue in #community-support

[daring ingot]

why can't i turn this in for gunsmith part 2?

[atomic frost]

I just favorized any bullet above 35-40 pen. In the handbook on the bottom rigth. 🔥 so when out farming. Its easier to just grab and run

[stiff cedar]

Because its folded

[atomic frost]

FR??. sheeeeesh 😅 good to know

[daring ingot]

Wiki says to fold it

[stiff cedar]

When I did it I couldn't hand it in while folded. Unfolded it and it worked.

[atomic frost]

LMAO

[jolly latch]

Anyone want to do some questing? Have the day off work and already bored lol, im EU

[icy plaza]

quick question, elite level for skills was 41 or 51?

[midnight ingot]

51

[unkempt egret]

There was a recent patch that shifted some gun component stats around a bit, wiki might not be updated to acount for that

[marsh marlin]

We cant treat light bleeding with heavy bleed kits anymore? Both google and chatgpt told me i can use bandages for heavy bleed even on light bleed. I have Calok-B and it said i cant use it in raid when i got light bleeding.

also what are best traders to sell misc stuff like this? i know i need a lot of these for quests/hideout but i need space in inventory, i am low level and i can sell it to flea market yet

[undone drum]

whats a heavy bleed kit?

[marsh marlin]

all items that can cure heavy bleed like esmarch, calok etc.

[undone drum]

yep, they where never able to

there are some medkits that can do both

[undone drum]

Usually Therapist gives the best prices for that.
But check if u have to lvl money with her to get next trader lvl

[marsh marlin]

i already spend enough, so when i get lv.14 i automatically get her to lv. 2?

i am level 9 now

[undone drum]

yes

Then just sell it to the next best one, who you want to lvl money with

[marsh marlin]

Okay thanks, what is in later part of game general good kit to have for curing bleed and restore HP? I know players dont run light bleed bandages anymore when they get certain money and level.. do i just have calok and salewas for light bleed + hp restore?

[undone drum]

Midgame Kit is Calok-B + Carkit
Carkit restores HP and heals lightbleed
But u are ok having bandages tho.
Did you know, u can put 2 medical items on the same hotkey?

Like u press 4 and it heals heavy or lightbleed?

[marsh marlin]

Yes i saw some videos.. its like 4 press to cure bleed and 4 release for healing?

So in any case i just press 4 as normal and it first heal bleeding and right after it start to heal me? If there is no bleeding it straight going to heal.. and does it works with continuous healing turned ON?

[undone drum]

exactly

With continuous healing it just continues healing, but u can interrupt it with left click

[marsh marlin]

left click? cool i though it is right click, good to know :D

[light stag]

left click to cancel most stuff

like reloading gun (shotguns/bolt actions) etc

[undone drum]

Eating, healing or any other animation = spam leftclick

[undone drum]

Here u have to basically put 0 on release 4

in controlls

[marsh marlin]

This works?

[undone drum]

yes

[marsh marlin]

i have slot 6 to 5 because i like to have painkillers near heal button

i am used to it from ABI

[undone drum]

thats how i do it too

4 press and release is on heavy bleed + car kit
5 on painkillers

[vocal mist]

All Gunsmith tasks are updated on the wiki.

[humble cave]

That was FOUR WEEKS ago, people need to stop yapping

[marsh marlin]

so.. when i lost like instantly raid with 3 of those i get for free i now need to wait for 3 whole restocks to try it again? Why begginer quest under level 10 have so harsh conditions xd

[vocal mist]

why 3 restocks? You only need to stash one pack of those posters

And even though it's a beginner quest, it unlocks a quite powerful trader

[marsh marlin]

wait what? it says on wiki you need to place 3 of them to beds

thats 3 posters

[vocal mist]

No, it doesn't

[silent pebble]

no

you only need one of them

[vocal mist]

It quite directly says "1 has to be stashed"

[silent pebble]

hey ency

how did you get that cool looking name color?

[silent pebble]

i mean how did you get the role?

[marsh marlin]

3 posters are provided by Skier via in-game mail ... i read this and thought i need 3 of them.. fuck me omg i bring all 3 to raid and lost them all xd

i could have 3 shots with it

so now i have 1 extra chance for 80k roubles

[silent pebble]

Hey guys is there anyone free to grind car extracts with for scav rep?

[vocal mist]

??operator this is how:

[silent pebble]

yes

oh ty

[marsh marlin]

I suppose those plate images are current bug with AVS armored rig right? Unless Nikkita think its good idea to block bullets with box of juice

[vocal mist]

It's just a visual bug. You can fix it by closing down your game and clearing the cache via the launcher

[minor crescent]

what about the terraframe and the ap bullets :/

[void warren]

can someone that has skier ll3 buy zenit rk-0 foregrip and put it on the market please?

[twilit vortex]

Hey how do I open a ticket my air filters got eaten and they was both full

[twilit vortex]

Pvp or pve ?

[void warren]

pvp friend

[twilit vortex]

Ahh sorry bud im on pve

[void warren]

oh bad

[rancid pewter]

anyone else getting cooked by lvl 40s every map except ground zero? 😮

[shrewd python]

Welcome to tarkov

[wary umbra]

why did i find medical airdrop full of toilet paper on streets?
it had 4 and a half rows of toiler paper and nothing else

[shrewd python]

Covid-era drop

[marsh marlin]

I just done it.. he selling everything for GP coins. Why do you talk about arena? Those coins can be gained even in normal PVP raids.. or arena give you much more of these?

[shrewd python]

trying to get enough GP to buy anything from Ref without arena is pretty much impossible

you get a LOT from arena

[marsh marlin]

Damn.. i will probably never understand why they somehow connected arena with normal tarkov and just blatandly give you omega advantages if you play that shitty pvp mode. Like they literally add new vendor just to cheat items for arena players xd. For me tarkov is extraction game, you get in, you get out - not some kind of COD arenas for "casual" pvp

[shrewd python]

They did it to make money lol

It's BSG

[marsh marlin]

I know.. but there are always better way to make money. Even selling stupid skins will be much better than breaking whole core balance of game that is supposed to be hardcore and everyone should be on same terms and chances

[marsh marlin]

Also i get some quests from him and he give me quite a lot of GP coins for them, so even normal pvp player can buy some essential stuff i think

[shrewd python]

Well I don't think you can say that in tarkov everyone should be on the same terms
Game is made to be unfair
"Fair? HAHAHA then go play minecraft, our game isn't going to be fair."
-Actual Nikita quote

[shrewd python]

And yea, but that's nothing compared to what you can get from Ref LL4 and lots of GP

[marsh marlin]

Yeah.. then i dont understand why tarkov to this day is still the most popular extraction shooter game and why even people bother to play it for decade and come back like good dogs when main developer and creator treat people like shit and mocking them

even streamers that bitch on this game every single day go back next day xd

[shrewd python]

Because somehow it's still the best game in the genre

More of statement as to how shitty the gaming industry is rn

BSG, somehow, is still the best of them

[marsh marlin]

Well i heard Nikkita is about to go for new game development now, some kind of singleplayer game that have nothing to do with tarkov.. maybe he will sell tarkov to some kind of investor and it will be better.. or worse xd

[shrewd python]

No investor in the world would buy this game to try and improve it lol

At best they'd leave it as is and add a ton of cosmetics

[marsh marlin]

Not improve it, they will add skins for everything and only add some new things. This game is beyond possibility of repair. CPU hard bound game in 2026 with spaghetti code

Skins are future for gaming, somehow tarkov doesnt have much of them. Only few outfits on official store, but thats not even 1% of what they could have make

[shrewd python]

Without consistent wipes and content patches this game will die
tragically nothing good is gearing up to take it's place

[marsh marlin]

There are a lot of extraction game rn, in recent 2 years it boomed. But everyone try to do little bit casual style, nobody want to make it as hardcore as tarkov so if this game die you will be forced to play easier games :D

Closest to "hardcore" is currently grayzone warfare which is still in very early development. Then there is ABI which is little easier and the most easy and casual game is arc raiders

[shrewd python]

Except for arc raiders pretty much every extraction shooter game has flopped badly
ABI is WAY more p2w than tarkov, so if that irritates you here ABI def isn't for you

[humble otter]

Tarkov will add seasonal wipes anyways

For a separate character

[shrewd python]

Hopefully, and hopefully soon enough that it retains people

But if they don't bother with content patches it won't matter much

[marsh marlin]

Man i dumped 700 hours in ABI in last year i basically played it for whole year before i switched to tarkov this week.. and there is really almost nothing pay to win xdd you have little old info. If there is anything its pay to loose skins.

They removed buying currency for real money long time ago

[humble otter]

They’ve said every half year like they used to be

[shrewd python]

Yea but they haven't tackled the RMT problem tarkov had to

So it's still very possible and common

[humble otter]

And they do events every now and then. Not to mention ice breaker coming soon as well

That’s gonna be peak content

[shrewd python]

Tarkov events are rarely that good
And imo 6 month wipes are too long with a non-wiping character as well

[humble otter]

They’ve said 6 months seems to be the perfect window for wipes

[marsh marlin]

Cakes you are omega negative about everything, i think you just have too big requirements for fun :D

[humble otter]

You can have your opinion how long a wipe should last but a lot of people will say against it. And some even shorter than you’d probably prefer. Everyone got their personal opinion how long a wipe should last

[shrewd python]

You were the one bitching about Ref and ranting about BSG lol

[marsh marlin]

I still do this quest right? even when i get negative rep with 2 vendors

[shrewd python]

really not worth it

doesn't lead to anything

I would wait until you get access to cooler pistols at least

[marsh marlin]

Thats why i ask, i have no clue which quests lead to where

[shrewd python]

just check wiki

[humble otter]

It’s a kappa quest… but he’s right. It doesn’t lead to anything

[shrewd python]

yea, that's why I said imo

even before 1.0 game was pretty damn dead at around the 4-5 month mark

[humble otter]

Sure. If we’re gonna compare to the past. They weren’t as focused on major events like they seem to be now

[fallow knot]

I'd still do it if I were you.

[shrewd python]

I hope so, and I hope the events are better than they were
I liked marathon and khorovod and shit but they were pretty meh

[shrewd python]

Why not wait until he has shit like the five-seven or deagle? Or RSH if mega chad
No reason to do that quest early

[humble otter]

Some had potential, others were a flop for sure. But it’s not like they can just ruin the market and value every time they do an event either

[shrewd python]

Oh def not
I just want fun objectives

[jolly latch]

Anyone want to do some raids? Getting slaughtered on my own 😂

[shrewd python]

Give me a cool cosmetic as a reward, idc

[humble otter]

The smuggler one was a fun one to me. Also the duckov one was creative

[shrewd python]

Creative, yes
all that fun, no

but that's just me

[humble otter]

Then why play the game? The event was pretty much what tarkov is about

Raid, do quest, loot and escape

[shrewd python]

I don't think hunting down 10 random things on each map is really what the game is about

[humble otter]

I was on the smuggling event Mb

[shrewd python]

oh fair, I did like the smugglers one

[fallow knot]

Mostly early EXP for my case

Getting lvl 15 early and more EXP = unlocking quests faster

[humble otter]

No I think the duckov was a fun one. It’s like the easiest but also challenging innocent event that didn’t affect the market.

[shrewd python]

doing deadend quests is like the worst way to get to level 15 early

Focus tasks that lead to other tasks

[marsh marlin]

I have dogtag in inventory, how do i give it to prapor? Or i need to have 5 and until then its locked?

[shrewd python]

you might need all 5, or you need to visit him

[marsh marlin]

Yeah i probably need all 5, dialogue is only "you know any jokes" and "got any jobs for me"

[humble otter]

You need all 5 at ones yes

[shrewd python]

prapor does have some jokes

[shrewd python]

Oh you're PvE lol
Yea trying that task in PvP wastes a ton of time before you have good pistols

[fallow knot]

Well I've ran resets enough times to not have it affect me negatively. So I might not have the same perspective as you.

[shrewd python]

Yea it's different on PvE

[fallow knot]

I did these before PvE anyways

[shrewd python]

mhmm

[fallow knot]

Like remember, I wasn't always PvE u know?

[cloud basin]

U MIGHT get 100 gp coins in the next 100 hrs by playing the main game. U get 3 daily quests in arena that give u ~30 gp coins EACH. On top of that add 130 gp coins weekly and the fact that u level ref to ll2,3,4 by doing daily quests since ibdont think he has enough main game quests to get him anywhere near ll3 where all the good stuff is

Without arena ref is useless

With arena ref is op

[shrewd python]

You think you could go to PvP and get 3 kills with starter pistols fast enough to make the 5k XP worthwhile?

You're being silly

[fallow knot]

Yes

[shrewd python]

bet

[cloud basin]

Thats also assuming u will be specifically targeting gp coin spawns for the 100 hrs, not through natural progression

[shrewd python]

let's do it

[fallow knot]

let's see if I have tarkov updated

[shrewd python]

I'll wait

[fallow knot]

stopped after getting my kappa box

[shrewd python]

on Pve...

[humble otter]

Does it matter?

[shrewd python]

clearly

[fallow knot]

That's gonna be awhile.

[humble otter]

Pve or pvp who cares

[shrewd python]

just ping me when done

[shrewd python]

why do you care about asking who cares

[fallow knot]

Apparently it is for him, I just said EXP is EXP.

all EXP is good

a little -rep isn't a huge hit on anybody

[shrewd python]

true, there's just way more efficient ways to get to level 15 than stirrup of all tasks

[humble otter]

Because you seem very judgmental to someone playing pve

Who’s said they’ve played PvP in the past

[shrewd python]

And you care deeply about my personal judgements

why?

[humble otter]

I mean… you’re 1 of the 2 in the chat…

[civic sundial]

this aint this place for bs

[fallow knot]

^

[humble otter]

Now there’s 3

[shrewd python]

That's not a reason to care

[civic sundial]

anyone willing to help a lvl11?

[humble otter]

It’s an open chat

[fallow knot]

Actually he's an Operator.

[shrewd python]

Of course
say what you want

[fallow knot]

he has reason to care.

[humble otter]

[shrewd python]

I'm asking why it bothers you that I have opinons on PvE

[civic sundial]

theres reasons for everyside

[shrewd python]

lmao

[humble otter]

I’ve already answered this question

[vocal mist]

it's not a mod role or anything

[fallow knot]

yeah, but it means u care for the community

[shrewd python]

LOL

[humble otter]

Enzy* you ok?

[fallow knot]

that means something

[humble otter]

Nah operator roles isn’t a big deal really

[cursive prawn]

he’s unwell this morning

[humble otter]

Too much wiki editing

[cursive prawn]

it’s ok i’ll give him a hug

[fallow knot]

Oh man, if he is a wiki editor, thank you for helping the community

Y'all always such a huge help to me and my gang

🤝

[humble otter]

Enzy is

Not me

I’m just part time too often in here ANSWERING questions

[fallow knot]

@vocal mist Thank you for your service.

see only an AI would respond that fast

[humble otter]

It’s called a superhuman

At best Muhawi is just a brain floating in a tank

at BEST

[fallow knot]

runs on good food and a good drink

I think Muhawi is better than AI

by a gazzilion

[shrewd python]

homie is suspended in a bafta tank of mountain dew

like Neo

[humble otter]

I’m off to eft chat, this is a beginner chat anyways

[cursive prawn]

he signed off of a channel 😭

[vocal mist]

[naive kestrel]

I need help running some quests on streets idk the map very well

[fallow knot]

oof. even if I wanna do this challenge, it's gonna take forever maybe.

I forget how long it takes to find a server

in pvp

Not to mention I'm going into a Min-15 room find in GZ.

[unkempt vale]

yoyo

[lethal scarab]

anyone know how the new usec scavtec clothing looks ingame ?

[marsh marlin]

😭 i just killed 3 guys on custom probably bosses, i got achievement and when i looted them random 8k hour chad aproached and killed me

fck this game this was my first cool gear

and i even killed them with pistol and no armor

yeah bird, knight and whatever pipe uncle

[woeful spruce]

many such cases but you did good, killing the rogues is hard!

[marsh marlin]

and i just even as extra find out that salewa kit i need to find in raid lost its status when i died, even tho i found it in raid

[hidden seal]

only if you are ot of the timezone of that server. Usually is 2 min

[fallow knot]

Took me 9 mins for a match earlier.

[woeful spruce]

yea, thats how it works, its found in raid only when youe xtract with it, if you die its not sadly

[fallow knot]

PvP will do that.

[hidden seal]

for matching or you countign loading etc? even in brazil server I rarely need more than 3 min to match

[marsh marlin]

Thanks, i was just doing early quest and i heard english speaking dude and i know that will be for sure some kind of boss.. i shot him like 5 times to the head with pistol and then he finally died xd then his friends arrived short after

[fallow knot]

I probably picked one of my home servers which is in Asia.

There's not that much fo Asian Tarkov players I think. Unless I specifically go for where the CN players might go

[marsh marlin]

I dont get any exp towards player level or skills either when i die?

[fallow knot]

It's lessened by a large margin.

If you survive it keeps it to 1.0x amount

If you die, I think its like 0.25x

Or somewhere around those lines.

Dying also effects skill level too.

So it has its detriments.

Tarkov is a suffering experience. And the PvP scene now is dominated by chads and freshies who didn't purchase PvE rights.

The cheaters are merely considered pre-beta bots.

[marsh marlin]

Well i played back in 2020 i have 450 hours on this account and i just returned after 5 years.. but still its same hardcore action

Is there any good lv 1-10 pistol that i can use for quests or eco run? Like i can mod it and purchase from vendors level 1?

[fallow knot]

We have inertia which killed a ton of movement tech.

[fallow knot]

Nope. You get what you get or you buy from the currently open traders.

[marsh marlin]

yeah that is new to me, running and jumping is really hard now

[fallow knot]

If you're fresh, the traders are also LOCKED behind quests and initial tasks

Just trying to progress into getting the 3 medical items for Therapist automatically drains 250,000 roubles as well

So its tough.

Generally speaking. If you're keeping down the line in PvP, you'll live to see the Kappa in possibly 600 hours.

From dying most of the time.

And this is just a rough estimate because of your initial experience.

Like the quests aren't "hard" its mostly tedious and requires a lot of running around and fking around.

You'll probably spend at least 200 hours alone from the timegated junk.

From 24 hour locked quests or the 72 hour ones.

Or like running around in Labs for 8 raids just to prompt the quests to work properly.

That's 4 hours in Labs excluding the time to match and load into the game.

[lost cave]

buy the 7.62 tt pistol its like 8k ive killed full kit pmcs with it lmao

[marsh marlin]

I was thinking about playing scavs and just loot corpses, i found out that people at this stage leave many T4 and even T5 gear and sometimes gun on ground or dead bodies.. what is best map and location to just boot scav a be scavenger? :D

[fallow knot]

Personally, I'd just wait for Scav Life Update

That's still in the works I believe.

Unless its already out and idk about it

[marsh marlin]

Well i want to level up my character and play now.. i wont wait like 3-5 months for summer big update :D

i just want best place to loot dead PMCs

[fallow knot]

Then streets would be a good place

[marsh marlin]

What about factory? Its fast, people usually tend to leave in first couple of minutes right? just kill and leave

[fallow knot]

I'd camp the apartments, that one locked club room, and around the area where Kaban is.

[fallow knot]

You could, but its all low tier junk and a scav could swipe the items as soon as someone dies.

You migjt not ever see a dead "chad"

Even if there are chads in the factory

[marsh marlin]

Wait scav loot PMC gear? or what can scav loot?

[fallow knot]

You wanna fight a T6 helmet and body armor guy with damn good weapons and ammo?

[marsh marlin]

I dont wanna fight them.. i just want to take leftovers as scav. As i said its quite long in this wipe and people leave a lot of (for me) good gear on dead bodies. Like T4-T5 gear, sometimes even weapons, T5 headphones.. big rigs you know

all those items are not purchasable for me rn

[fallow knot]

So long as you use them as soon as you take em. If you keep them in your stash forever, you'll never progress.

Never think of this phrase I say: "I'm gonna use it when I need to."

Think of "I'm gonna use it now."

[minor crescent]

guys so

im lvl 18 and since i was lvl5 i always used 5.45x39 US GS but im starting to realize they are starting to become really obsolete

except finding ammo,what is a good substitute to us gs that i can buy from traders?

[fallow knot]

Well T gs is a next step

Lvl 2 prapor but it has tracers

Then after that is FMJ

But its locked behind a quest

Still lvl 2 prapor as well

Once you get to Lvl 3 prapor. PS rounds become standard.

If you wanna do the slightly off way

You can go up Ref

[hidden seal]

well PS rounds are common enough in box to be semi standard before that

[fallow knot]

To lvl 2 and get punisher part 3 done.

But that will set you back in terms of main questline work

And kappa possibly

That unlocks PP rounds

But it also costs a certain currency

That is hard to earn besides doing Arena and other BS work.

But honest opinion @minor crescent US gs 5.45x39 can be baller if you have a suppressor on a AKS

Turns it into a quiet medium range weapon

With low recoil

[minor crescent]

i got a suppressor but as far as i know they dont really poack a punch

[marsh marlin]

Are .300 blackout weapons generaly good in tarkov? I know most of ammo types here because i played ABI but there were no blackout ammo weapons so i dont even know which one exists :D

[fallow knot]

They really dont.

[hidden seal]

supressors basically just make harder to figure from what direction the shootign is...

[fallow knot]

But you can spray down a dude's leg off

Or make them concussed to hell if you never miss

By that time, they'll be dead.

Sometimes people don't take PKs.

So you can shoot the leg off and toss a nade at their feet

[minor crescent]

well i was wondering if like SP or HP are better

[fallow knot]

If you're going for flesh shots they're darn good.

HP alone does 76 per hit

PRS does 70

SP does 67

But i don't recommend it

Since US gs does 65 flesh and 17 Pen

[hidden seal]

17 pen is only relevant against scavs

[fallow knot]

Yeah but he was picking between SP and HP

Both of which are heavily inferior.

Since US gs gives -15 recoil

And -20 durability burn

Only issue is the slow projectile speed

[minor crescent]

so i can choose PRS,US,HP,SP

and generally better are US?

[fallow knot]

Correct.

If you wanna pick something else in between the 4

SP

[minor crescent]

oh ok

i need to go to streets for audit

[hidden seal]

SP is better as it can fight some armor

[minor crescent]

and i NEVER went there

[hidden seal]

not amazing but with some shots you can do it

[minor crescent]

so i want the most versatile ammo

[fallow knot]

Most versatile in 5.45 is PS generally speaking.

[hidden seal]

in doubt.. hit the face

[fallow knot]

Or PP if u can afford it

[minor crescent]

no traders sell me those

[fallow knot]

Again, the 4 ammo you mentioned @minor crescent is like comparing a green apple, and red apples.

They're both apples, with one that is slightly more sour vs one is sweeter

[minor crescent]

i got prapor 1,therapist 2,skier 1,fence1,peakecepeer 1,mechanic 1,ragman2,jaeger1 and ref 1

[light stag]

don’t even use that ammo do a scav run on interchange and go to one of the camps

you will find boxes of bt bp etc

[fallow knot]

^

[light stag]

that ammo is legit like shooting throwing pebbles at people at this point ngl

[fallow knot]

The green long boxes tend to spawn ammo

If you're willing, Tagilla's hideout where the table next to the van entrance also has ammo on it

[minor crescent]

oh i also got 11 BT so i though of making a mag with 19 US and first 11 all bt

[wary umbra]

i recomend scaving there 2-3 times too get hte feel and explore with map

[minor crescent]

or,as a last resort,i got a mosin with FMJ and T46M

both 40 of each one

[fallow knot]

If you're even more ballsy, if I remember correctly, next to Rasputin electronic store next to the giant hole where the BTR is located inside. That store with the BTR also spawns ammo

[wary umbra]

ususally first mag is used for scavs that you see off spawn unless you are playing maps like streets labs or lighthouse which is spawn pvp

[fallow knot]

If you wanna be safer, the containers on both ends of the back storage of The grocery store also has ammo spawns

[minor crescent]

im gonna go streets

[wary umbra]

donno if you said that but usec camp in woods has ALOT of ammo and other attachments but sometimes geared pmcs go there

[minor crescent]

in 6 mins ill have my scav,where should i hunt for ammo?

[fallow knot]

I don't recommend there just because of that last part you said

[wary umbra]

then it might work tho sometimes its just scav and you never see pmcs also first time on streets are very confusing

[fallow knot]

Very hot.

Its a LEDX dedicated spawn afterall

Together with moonshine

[minor crescent]

so this is fine?

[wary umbra]

yea tho if you are lucky you might get leftovers with scaving or just get lucky and kill all or noone shows up tho i agree for beginer its not the best

[minor crescent]

my body armor got t4 plates in it

[wary umbra]

shold be fine

[fallow knot]

If you gonna be bringing that much spare ammo, then buy extra mags instead.

Just bring one stack of US ammo

[wary umbra]

yeah

[minor crescent]

ill be overloaded tho

[fallow knot]

Then pack the rest into mags

[minor crescent]

oh ok

[fallow knot]

So 80 spare, 3 extra mags = 90 bullets

[wary umbra]

i would bring 3-4 full mags and stack of ammo

[fallow knot]

Yes

Correct

[wary umbra]

btw if you wanna do the idea with bt and rest us you can also have it as spare mag and when you run into pmc just load that mag in

[fallow knot]

Also. Carry 2 heavy bleeds and 1 army bandage instead.

[wary umbra]

i think r+scroll

[minor crescent]

i got the car medkit tho doesnt it heal light bleeds too?

[wary umbra]

yes but it takes 50hp of car

which isnt ideal

[fallow knot]

You realize that when it heals light bleeds, it takes away the extra healing into your total HP pool?

[minor crescent]

i also got a salewa or AFAK

[fallow knot]

Just pick one

If u taking car kits, then take two

If salewa, one

[minor crescent]

i think a salewa

[fallow knot]

If AFAK, one

[minor crescent]

i slighty used it

348 uses left

[fallow knot]

If you want to be like me. AFAK in pouch, Salewa in rig

[minor crescent]

ok

im almost at the limit for not being overloaded

[fallow knot]

Of course if you're a psycho like me sometimes I run 4 cheeses if I got the space for it.

[minor crescent]

26.7/27 kg

[minor crescent]

i ran 6 once cause i thought they stacked on eachother

[wary umbra]

how much does army bandage weights?

[fallow knot]

Lmao

[minor crescent]

so i could have a 600hp medkit

[minor crescent]

0.0105 or sum

[fallow knot]

0.150 if Im not wrong

[minor crescent]

0.043

[wary umbra]

then bring that

[minor crescent]

best map to scav for ammo ?

no reserve cause i dont want to progress story

[wary umbra]

customs or woods if you know where to look

[minor crescent]

too scared to go shoreline

[fallow knot]

Woods honestly

[wary umbra]

customs also have alot of dead scavs in doorms

[fallow knot]

Don't be scared of woods.

[wary umbra]

but they have bad ammo

[marsh marlin]

Are there any good things you should always buy even in fence shop? Like do you guys use fence at all when you are already experienced player?

[fallow knot]

Never.

[minor crescent]

ill try even tho i went there liek 3 times and always lost myself

[wary umbra]

even tho its my fav map it can be scary

[fallow knot]

There's almost zero reason to buy anything from there honestly

[minor crescent]

plates

i buy plates there sometimes

[wary umbra]

if you want i can play with you in liek 2-3 hours i know most maps pretty well

[fallow knot]

They're usually more broken than ones you have

Even if its t5 or t6

Lkke it can only take 2 hits or something

[minor crescent]

rn im pretty stacked i found a glitch

just scav on factory and exterminate every pmc left

[plush cedar]

Anyone down to help me with the first story quest cant get a labs card and dont really know my way around it

[minor crescent]

i found some nice armors with t5 in it

[fallow knot]

No, that's just normal. If you manage to run out with good gear. Good job.

[wary umbra]

if you cant buy it scav and search every file cabinet on streets

[fallow knot]

But generally time consuming and inefficient i feel like.

Scaving should not be gear hunting

[wary umbra]

tho it might take time

[fallow knot]

But money hunting.

[minor crescent]

i hunt for gear

then since im under lvl 20 i go gz

[wary umbra]

mostly but sometimes you get lucky with gear

[minor crescent]

i exterminate every low level and sell everything

made 1.5 mils in like 5 days

[fallow knot]

I remember those days and times. I managed to get out with SR-25s with M61 rounds before off a dead guy

[wary umbra]

streets can give you like 500k a run as scav

[fallow knot]

And this one guy who had an Osprey armor

This was before plates update if I remember

[wary umbra]

it has loot everywhere and most peaple are stupid and go to places like kaban

[wary umbra]

lol i recently came back to tarkov since i played for like 1 wipe 2 years ago and i recently killed guy with sr-25 and 4 mags full of m80a1

[fallow knot]

I will tell you guys a secret

[minor crescent]

i got 1 osprey

[fallow knot]

Just scav run in Ground Zero

Search PC blocks

[wary umbra]

also works but i like streets and shoreline more

[fallow knot]

Guaranteed to find GPUs every 2-3 raids

[wary umbra]

you're joking

[fallow knot]

I'm personally a PMC woods kinda guy

[wary umbra]

im going ground zero then

[fallow knot]

No I am not

[minor crescent]

i always go gz

[wary umbra]

when i start being able to use decent stuff i love woods

[minor crescent]

with a pmc early raid

and i NEVER found a gpu

just alot of rams

[wary umbra]

i just today found gpu on streets and only bc i wanted to search 1 duffle bag before extract

[fallow knot]

They're not really lottery. Just depends on who hasn't checked them

[wary umbra]

wish tarkov made ram prices as expensive as it is irl

[fallow knot]

They did at one point didn't they?

You can trade 4 ram sticks for one GPU with mechanic

[hidden seal]

they already increased it alot when ram prices spikes in rl

[minor crescent]

woops might have went too far

[minor crescent]

87k for one stick

[wary umbra]

oh ncie then im getting ram

[minor crescent]

yea put them in your pouch

[wary umbra]

i though it was still 8k for some reason

[minor crescent]

even if you die you still get like 160k rubels

[wary umbra]

flee or traders?

[minor crescent]

these 2 while scavving factory

[minor crescent]

sell to therapist

[wary umbra]

ill try scaving on ground zero few times then now

[elder dune]

Flea it can sell comfortably at 100k or more

[minor crescent]

87k each one

[wary umbra]

ok

[minor crescent]

are you under level20?

[wary umbra]

im lvl 10 i somehow keep running into 8k hours lol

[wary umbra]

IOTV gen 4

[minor crescent]

go gz

[elder dune]

It’s a feature

[minor crescent]

under level 20 you will only find people under level 20

[wary umbra]

more durability on plates

[elder dune]

Ground Zero is training grounds

[minor crescent]

so its easier

[wary umbra]

i know

[minor crescent]

yeah i go there to just ruin low levels life

[elder dune]

21+ ground zero is slaughterhouse

[minor crescent]

they ask me to spare them but as soon as they turn i kill them

cause that what they did to me.

[wary umbra]

doesnt actually help i only seen 2 below 100h pmcs and rest are just lvl 5-10s with thousends of hours and top tier gear somehow

[minor crescent]

well people that joined the wipe later

[wary umbra]

yeah i know

[minor crescent]

well kinda easy tho

aim for faces or rat

or use others as bait

[wary umbra]

i dont like to rat and im not the best at pvp

[minor crescent]

use low levels as baits and kill the geared one and the new level

[elder dune]

Naah c’mon you’re just creating more backstabbers. Every time you go for friendship instead of fatality you breed cooperative timmies :))

[minor crescent]

then stealth

[minor crescent]

they kinda did the same to me

[wary umbra]

thats not nice

tho i understandf

[minor crescent]

i killed 2 levels 4 after they begged me and even dropped their loot,i said run and as soon as they started i broke off both their legs and made them bleed

like in dayz

[wary umbra]

actual monster

taqila is friendlier than you lol

[minor crescent]

i killed one low level in front of his eyes then after he begged me i stopped shooting and when he exptected the least i shot a mag in his face

all this in gz

they were 2

[minor crescent]

well a tip is to shoot everwyone

mag dump if needed

just fire,but not too much

depends the situation

[wary umbra]

yes but not when they drop their gear and run off

[minor crescent]

;)

they are free xp

[wary umbra]

sure

[minor crescent]

well i kinda stopped

felt bad

im not a monster

kinda

i mean they push ME

i just loot i usually avoid pvp

[minor crescent]

oh yeah a tip is to avoid pvp and just loot the necessary

[wary umbra]

certianly doesnt feel like it

[minor crescent]

and spam tasks they are useful

[wary umbra]

yeah i do that

[minor crescent]

so i ould help ya but tomorrow

gz is easy if you learn it

[wary umbra]

i have 450 hours from my first and only wipe

soo i have expierience but im still terrible at pvp

[minor crescent]

oh well i got like 100ish maybe

i play alot of pvp so i kinda got some experience

[wary umbra]

atlest most of the time

[minor crescent]

always played pvp

[minor crescent]

well pvp isnt all

survival is another thing

just flee from fight and youll survive + get more health skill if you get inkjured

[wary umbra]

this is probably only game i have alot of hours that has alot of pvp rest i just play games with friends for shits and giggles

[minor crescent]

me2

well i also played alot of ABI so i kinda had some experience from the starts

[wary umbra]

ohh i flee everytime i can but usually when it comes to pvp i either in situation where i cant cuz of terrain or health or i instantly

[minor crescent]

yeah i feel your pain

well me too most of the fight with more experinced player they either dont onetap or they onetap

but in gz i lowkey found almost no high levels

just spam alot of runs with ak74u its cheap and reliable

[wary umbra]

yeah only time i surive fights is either when they arent above 1k hours or i get first shots

[minor crescent]

a GREAT close quarters gun

[wary umbra]

yeah i do that arl

[minor crescent]

me too

[wary umbra]

prob my fav early gun

[minor crescent]

how many money you got ingame?

i reached 2 mils in a week if you want i can tell you a tip

[wary umbra]

like 2.5mill i think tho i have way to much stuff and game tells me my stash is worth like 11m

[wary umbra]

i know how ot make money

[minor crescent]

yeah me too same situation

you got the code for free ammo and weapon case?

[wary umbra]

yeah massive help

currently im saving to get 5m soo i have money after stash upgrade and while im doing that im getting materials for stash upgrade

[minor crescent]

Oh nice

I didnt kniw there was a Stash upgrade tbh

[wary umbra]

yeah in hideout tho they get much more expensive

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

first 2 are 2.5m and 8.5m + alot of materials and ll prapor and ragman and 3rd one is 200k euroes and ll 4 ragman and peacekeeper + level 3 generator workbench and heating

[cyan knot]

[elder dune]

How long does it take for the BTR guy to transfer the goodies to my stash?

[earnest hawk]

about an hour, give or take

[elder dune]

Thanks

I’m waiting for that tetris

I even paid him to cover fire and he fired a lot but sadly the kills were not attributed to me 🙁

[marsh marlin]

Why number 8 looks like almost same as number 0 in this game.. i always thought this armor have 100 durability and just now i realised it have 180 because its 161/something xddd

you have no chance to see 8 and 0 if you dont zoom too much to screen

atleast on those smaller numbers

[hidden seal]

they use a horrible font

[fallen pike]

They are already here, if you pick up the usb first, can you die with the usb so you can push the button?

How do i quickly move items from junk box to inventory? I tried every possible combination like shift click, alt click, ctrl click but it want to only go o my backpack on my character. And when i take him off it says there is no room

i want to sell some items but i dont want to move them one by one xdd please dont tell me tarkov still dont have QoL things

[wary umbra]

to traders or flee?

[marsh marlin]

traders

i dont have flee yet

[wary umbra]

then just go to trader you want to seel to right click on the box and open it, and then you can shift click

[marsh marlin]

damn thanks thats exactly what i needed.. you cant do same on flee right?

[wary umbra]

pretty sure you can but you have to sell individual items (can be sold in groups)
just right click on the box open it and click on the item shift click if you want to mark multiple items i think then just set the price and sell

[marsh marlin]

okay thanks

[brave forge]

Hey! Question! Is the Kappa questline required to escape?

[crimson thicket]

no, only the story quests

[dawn pine]

can someone help me understand why basmach/gus dont seem to rush me down when i kill kaban?

instead they always hide somewhere

go somewhere into the base and kill me when i try to slowly sweep the area

[pseudo iris]

Try to keep him alive if you can, I noticed the guards rat a lot when the main man dies, almost died to birdeye and pipe because they were camping after knight died

[twin geyser]

Real talk
why dont more people run the aug??

its SO cheap and reallllllly nice

[marble herald]

okay please help cause im going crazy, im trying to build the gun for gunsmith 8 and i KNOW everythings correct with whats needed for the wiki. i have the right mag and the right tac device on, what am i missing?

[frail light]

the build has to be an aks-74n and not an aks-74

[marble herald]

Okay then what stock adapter do I use cause it says the aks-74/aks-74U zenit pt stock adapter but that doesn’t show on my build menu

[mint light]

zenit pt lock

[marble herald]

Okay thanks

Still not working. Standby for pics of ten new build

[frail light]

pt 74s adapter and then use the pt3 stock

[marble herald]

I’m not seeing a pt 74. Just a pt akm adapter. But that only gives me a pt1 stock, which doesn’t work

I figured out my mistake. Ak74 was what I used. Not an aks-74

Good lord that’s a picky ass quest

[frail light]

yeah its aks-74n

[glass viper]

I keep having scav runs on factory end in 30 seconds because a player scav shoots me. Why is it that player scavs on this specific map dont care about negative rep? Why are they not attacked by a bunch of npc scavs?

[sacred magnet]

lmao it happen

[cinder kernel]

just dont scav factory

[glass viper]

only place I have experience it and often

[glass viper]

Its just my go to to get a kit out in a minute, but guess I should start actually scavenging and on other maps

[shrewd python]

I personally play for negative karma

But you might be running into new players or somethin
You can usually just beeline to an extract on factory though

[silent pebble]

hey guys is anyone free to go questing with me?

[cursive prawn]

i’d also check out #lfg-info lots of live players there

[silent pebble]

thanks man will do

[glass viper]

Should I keep the KATT meele weapon or just sell it along with the m48 kuhri and er bayonet?

[elder dune]

Yeah it’s nice but it has a not insignificant amount of horizontal recoil and modest choice of mags, two things that scare “wHaT iS mEtA” audience that can’t imagine running anything without 100 round mag

[digital fossil]

is there any skill based match making in this game AT ALL? I don't even have 30 hours in the game and I can't go one round without getting killed by someone with over 5 THOUSAND hours

[sacred magnet]

will items in cultist circle sacrfice automatically or i can use it for extra storage?

[ember veldt]

the only thing is on ground zero, if you are below level 20 then you get matched only with below level 20 as well, on all other maps you can get in game with anyone

[weary sky]

just gotta kill them first ig

[weary sky]

high lvl GZ is so much better tho bcs of the GPU spawn rate

[weary sky]

you could use it for storage i guess

[steel forum]

There is not just dont go to high loot areas and you will be fine and shoot the geared guys in the legs your bullets will not be able to pen the armor

[wary umbra]

still you will run into players with 5k hours there

[dreamy cosmos]

skilldiff

[dreamy cosmos]

u can use it for extra storage!

[potent palm]

should i keep a gpu i found or sell it

i mean like does it have a function

[wary umbra]

keep

you gonna need 3 for quest

also for bitcoin farm

[potent palm]

thanks

[minor crescent]

so i need to go to streets for the ''audit'' quest

any tips to not die?

[noble wave]

Check your adjacent spawns if u know the map a bit

People often rush other spawns near them

[wary umbra]

dont rush in first minutes cuz ppl rush spawns but also avoid contested areas

and if you never played it scav there with map once or twice to get the feel of the map

[minor crescent]

i dont know the map

i got a general idea tho

[light stag]

learn the map in offline mode

[minor crescent]

it isnt that cause i understand wherer the tarbank is

the thing i worry more about are other pmc's

not 2 min into the raid someone just started nading and spraying like 10 meters from me

worse than factory cause its also massive

[prisma drum]

why is a part when im modding look red and has the red background, indicating to me it shouldnt be able to fit or work, yet for some reason i can still put it on the gun?

[minor crescent]

what the fuck

there are mines on streets?

and why the fuck do they onetap bro

i was so close i was at lexos

i passed on a small entrance (i think it was) and i exploded

[vocal mist]

Yup, that's the only minefield on Streets

The only safe way to approach the compound is via the north or south entrances - well, "safe", there are mounted weapons pointed at the gates for a change

You can see the mines for example on this map: https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Streets_of_Tarkov#3D_Map

[minor crescent]

i got the files

tho i think there is someone under me

so i kinda gave up and just went in with a cheap ass kit

i need to go to courtyyard which is pretty close

i think ill wait

HE'S BESIDE ME

TO THE OTHER ROOM

HE PASSED

he went away

[glass wind]

how do i solve this , happens every raid

[minor crescent]

i keep fucking crashing

is it server?

if i crash one more time and i die just before i fucking finish the mission imma fucking uninstall

why i cant go courtyyartd even tho i have it?

[silent sage]

not guaranteed extract

[glossy mantle]

It's not active, no green signal flares

[silent sage]

its a ??? so it has a chance to be open

[minor crescent]

so where do i go

[silent sage]

expo or collapsed

[vocal mist]

Flare is the safest of those IMO, and you could also check if the car (V-Ex) is there

[minor crescent]

imma go collapsed

im at lexos now so my best bet is collapsed

[vocal mist]

at that point yeah

[minor crescent]

i did it

3 times

[vocal mist]

👏 ** **

[minor crescent]

500k of gear lost

almost 2h to do it

i kinda never went to stretts so im not complaining

[minor crescent]

Where is now the V EXFIL on interchange

i see no black suv

[latent cipher]

Same place. further down that road

[shrewd python]

[astral glen]

I appreciate you letting me know but in future please use #discord-mod-mail

[minor crescent]

does the green flare work for path to river?

[shrewd python]

yes

[wary lagoon]

Does it matter what faction I choose? If it does what is better

[minor crescent]

bear cause they cooler

usec is easier on lighthouse

[shrewd python]

USEC is more often picked, they have a very slight advantage on one map
BEAR has better starting gear and a slight advantage with BTR driver

[minor crescent]

cause scav dont attack you

[shrewd python]

it's not that simple

scavs will still attack, just the rogues won't attack as quickly

[wary lagoon]

So what would you recommend I just came back to the game

[shrewd python]

it really doesn't matter much

I switch between them

[wary lagoon]

I think I'll choose bear because of the gear

[minor crescent]

bear cause of the voicelines

[shrewd python]

Bear also has cool drip

[minor crescent]

how do i flare?

[wary lagoon]

👍

[minor crescent]

like everytime i tried it happened nothing

[shrewd python]

hotkey it and fire it straight up once you get in the signal flare area

[shrewd python]

oh that's handy

[wary lagoon]

Why am I being deployed already?

[shrewd python]

tutorial

[wary lagoon]

Is there a tutorial?

[minor crescent]

ye

[wary lagoon]

Oh ok

I don't remember this last time

[shrewd python]

you don't get to keep loot so don't worry about looting

[wary lagoon]

Alright thx

[minor crescent]

oh wow

[wary lagoon]

I would 100% be looting otherwise

[minor crescent]

so i basically ran all interchange all around

from powerstation i wanted to go to railway,

i ended in emercom

and now im basically going to railroad

[shrewd python]

yea that's an annoying wrong turn

corner to corner

[minor crescent]

the fuck

i crashed AGAIN

i found all the stores for the quest in interchande

do i lose the progress

if i do imma be so pissed

[shrewd python]

if you don't reconnect you will lose the progres

sorry g

[glass viper]

I guess there is no reason to have more than 1 meele weapon since its not lost on death? Is KATT pickaxe better than kuhri and bayonet?trying to sell most things

[bleak tiger]

Would keep kuhri

[glass viper]

alright equip kurhi and sell the katt then I guess

[cursive prawn]

hi!! welcome to OEFT!

[glass viper]

hello! thank you

[digital fossil]

well I'd sure hope someone with 5000 hours is better at the game than someone who just installed it 💀

[latent sandal]

guys whenever it try to play arena it just goes to loading map resources when ever i start matching then crashes after a few minutes cant even get into a game any fix?#

[meager vessel]

When I try to install arena it gets stuck on calculating time anyone know a fix?

[meager vessel]

still having the issue with files

[lime pond]

Did my first night raid at ground zero today. We didnt encounter much people

[spice cedar]

Did scavs get a massive buff

[cyan knot]

You can try changing the file or creating a folder to avoid duplication

[agile roost]

yow if I trying to get theta case who should i give the dirt "fenc" or "ref"
also is lega obtainable?

[marsh marlin]

do scav attack you on scav run if you are below 0 rep? like even -0.03?

[astral glen]

No

Only if you are below -6.0

[marsh marlin]

Okay thanks

And every +1 rep give me level up to gear and cooldowns right

up to 6 rep which opens that crown shop as max level

[undone drum]

yeah, but gear is very random. u still can spawn with nothing at 4 sometimes

[wanton flame]

welcome someone playing tarkov

my name is dominik i know english

[naive kestrel]

anyone down to help me run streets i have some quests on there i need to do and cant seem to learn the map

[narrow robin]

by any chance could i get help with tasks and i do not know maps well

[cursive prawn]

h!! welcome to OEFT!

you can find live players in #lfg-info too!

[narrow robin]

thank you

[hallow kindle]

yall know the easiest ways to find/learn extraction spots?

[royal crest]

pull up a map on a second monitor. Legit the best way. Map genie is the best imo

So tell me something, how do you guys stay motivated to play after getting lvl 20 flea? I hit that goal and now im just kinda lost. I know there are quests to do, PMCs to kill, maps to learn, etc, but I just lose so much motivation

[hidden seal]

OMG died with 0.1 sec to extract

[kindred parcel]

anyone know what those red boxes with the lines are?

[hidden seal]

after a 3 transits raid

[kindred parcel]

uhhh what

[hidden seal]

lol 16341h player camping at extract.. that sound super rewarding

[kindred parcel]

do i have to that in a single life while transiting?

[hidden seal]

I was not answering you

I was continuing my previous line

[kindred parcel]

ok

but do you?

[hidden seal]

red lines means stuff you cannto complete anymore

ignore them

[brave forge]

best way to get money spent on peacekeeper?

[hidden seal]

sell him weapons

and helmets

[gilded oasis]

Anyone know why every time I Alt+Tab the game it closes the game window. I tried googling a few things but nothing changes

[torn rapids]

play the game

[torn rapids]

send screenshot of your settings

[hidden seal]

put it in windowed mode, not fullscreen. Alt-Tab is a heavy duty action upon the driver on an application runnign fullscreen. But is just a bit swap when in window

[glass viper]

I was just in woods and going to bridge v exfil. Was just shot dead by sniper as soon as I got close to the sniper sign lol, but nothing about 20krupies popped up or anything? I dont get it

like an npc sniper, nothing on dead screen

[next nimbus]

you wandered outside of the map

you have to be on the rear end of the car

the front is outside of the map

[glass viper]

ah okay, but I dont think I even got to the car

[next nimbus]

were you near the river?

[glass viper]

middle of road

[next nimbus]

middle of the road at scav village?

or by where car is

[glass viper]

where car is coming from main map
