[coral canyon]

jpcs and avses are not as rare as diamonds i mean

but im mostly iffed about the aesthetic than anything else ig

[tidal lagoon]

gotta grind to look cool

[coral canyon]

raaaghh

is it true they doubled exp requirements to level up since 1.0?

[glass viper]

oh god just realized I have to do this setup quest

maan I duno

[tidal lagoon]

by like 64%

[coral canyon]

ah right that quest

[coral canyon]

🥀

[tidal lagoon]

honestly i think it was necessary since this character is permanent

[coral canyon]

i can understand that but i dont understand why they're making the game living hell for newbies

how are they gonna hook noobs (me) in if it only gets enjoyable after the level 20 mark

want class 4 armor? wana run a rifle? hit 20 first then we'll talk

unless youre satisfied with shooting 11 pen prs on an ak

[thorn ivy]

Just shoot legs and ur set
Take high dmg low pen (easy to get early game) and just shoot legs

One of my favorite things is running a kedr with sp8-sp7 and just blast legs out

30k for a complete kit, i haven’t played much lately but i’ll be playing again.
Swap out ur cheap kit for the guy you killed, most likely expensive kit this late in the “wipe” and u’ll get ur cheap kit back with insurance

[coral canyon]

yeah ever since rifles early game got gutted for 1.0 im trying to migrate to the leg meta mindset but im still having issues since its really just betraying years of muscle memory to me

the legs are also just really annoying to shoot what with the space between and how often the legs shift around during movement

[tidal lagoon]

cuz they cant balance around noobs, the level between noob, average and good is so big itd be super boring for anyone but noobs if they did

[hidden seal]

spamming in the face imhobworks better

[thorn ivy]

I mean yeah it’s hard to think of shooting a leg when you randomly run into someone
But plan out your attack when you hear someone or know where someone is and just think of shooting legs

[coral canyon]

do i just aim near-ish the face mag dump and pray?

[thorn ivy]

I feel like most people this late are running face shields tho, no?

[hidden seal]

that works more than you would expect

[coral canyon]

at a distance when im the one who spotted them first though i always remember to go legs but when its a mexican standoff or i get jumped i tend to shoot center mass

[coral canyon]

i mean i wasnt questioning the method just validating if thats how its meant to be done

[tidal lagoon]

u get 17 pen ammo with prapor 1 for 545, and 20/24 at prapor 2

[coral canyon]

even garbage makeshift bullets should kill if you get shot in the face

just hoping i dont get burnt out on running pp19s and uzi's all the time trying to reach the light at the end of the tunnel

[tidal lagoon]

ofc u always wanna be spraying at their head

but rifles are still very viable early game

[coral canyon]

sounds valid except for uzi since that thing's firerate seems subpar

[tidal lagoon]

depends which version of it

the early ones are bad

[coral canyon]

i mean all weapons are viable if you shoot someone between the eyes

[tidal lagoon]

but the uzi pro is really good

[coral canyon]

theres more than one?

[tidal lagoon]

yea

[coral canyon]

ive been doing the blue wrench barter

[tidal lagoon]

maybe like 3 or 4?

[coral canyon]

and pp19s modified with some dovetail optic

[tidal lagoon]

yea 3 uzis

[coral canyon]

looking to branch out more into interesting weapons

[tidal lagoon]

the uzi pro versions are the good ones

1075 rpm

[coral canyon]

oh thats cool unfortunately i have never even seen one so i dont think i'll be interested in buying one atm

[fiery moat]

you'll be lucky to see a class 4, like 80% of ppl i face wear tier 6, and i wear tier 5

[tidal lagoon]

yea idk when u unlock them, prolly like pk3 or smt

[coral canyon]

just how badly do they want new players to suffer bro

they're throwing crippled animals in a lion's den

[fiery moat]

and headshots,headshots, when i was far behind all other ppl, i just rocked 9x19 pst into an mp5 and called it a day, had barely any issues fighting 5 gazillion hour dudes with whatever meta fk they were using, then i just stole their kits and played my next match like that

[tidal lagoon]

main problem is new players dont know where to source the stuff they need to counter people with better gear

[fiery moat]

for my last 400 raids or so i've been only using 40+ pen ammo but i can still say still half of my kills are probably 9x19 ap 6.3/pst or 7.62x51 bcp fmj

[coral canyon]

i guess i'll stick with the pp19s and uzi's then?

[fiery moat]

at least 100 kills on 9x19 pst tho, dont sleep on that bullet, costs nothing and can onetap most faces unless they are using altyn etc.

[coral canyon]

9x19 ap 😍

[fiery moat]

45acp match fmj is also fine enough for early game, 25 pen and insane dmg

[coral canyon]

thats the mp5 and uhh?

ppsh

[fiery moat]

ump on 45acp

and vector

[coral canyon]

nah bro im level 10 dont even bring up the vector

[fiery moat]

45acp ap was my first 40 pen ammo, i used to craft it often

[coral canyon]

ump45 also has a pretty bad firerate though doesnt it? when youre praying one bullet hits the face wouldnt higher RPM be optimal

[fiery moat]

rn i use 300blk cbj(43 pen) 7n42 zubilo or fmj sx(38 and 40 pen on these 2) i have zero issues killing tier 5 armor ppl, ofc it takes some more bullets than usual

[fiery moat]

yes 600rpm ish, same as most AK's

[tidal lagoon]

higher fire rate gives more chances, but lower fire rate lets u control it better making it easier to aim

[thorn ivy]

It’s also not fun to have lvl 6 and meta builds from the start tho

[tidal lagoon]

not that smgs are that hard to control to begin with

but the ump despite its rpm is pretty good

[coral canyon]

that i get its not as if i wanted a lvaw or some shit off the bat but maybe a basic m4 or ak?

[fiery moat]

yes we are talking about 9x19, spray and pray, 45acp is more of a rifle bullet disguised as pistol cartridge

[thorn ivy]

You can get that tho?

[fiery moat]

oh, dont even try to use an m4 before you have reliable access to at least m856a1

[coral canyon]

yeah but its so unoptiml you may as well be running an smg lol

shouldnt even be considered an option atp

[thorn ivy]

Then run an smg?

[tidal lagoon]

the m4 and 556 have lowkey been getting nerfed constantly cuz its been the meta for 50 years

[coral canyon]

thas what im saying bro what if i DONT wana do that 😭 😭 😭

[thorn ivy]

Ak just has “better” ammo from the beginning

Run shotgun?

[tidal lagoon]

aks especially 545 ones work perfectly fine early game tho

[coral canyon]

but its whatever i'll just stick with smgs for now

[thorn ivy]

Run mosin?

[fiery moat]

yes, rock an ak-74n whenever u find 5.45 bt or above(until you unlock 5.45 bt and 7n40 from prapor 4)

[tidal lagoon]

smgs only beat them at close range, if u are running customs or smt early game id take a 545 ak over smg all the time

[coral canyon]

mosin is fair but unfortunately only sniper option is available through barter rn

[thorn ivy]

Fr, but it won’t be a meta build so whats the point?

[thorn ivy]

You can buy mosin from ll1 jeager right?

[coral canyon]

can i? not on my pc so cant check rn but i did just unlock jaeger

[fiery moat]

i'd still take my mp7 with fmj sx anywhere over an ak with bt(similar bullets), smgs are still insanely good on 60 meters or so

[fiery moat]

wasnt it vpo-215

[tidal lagoon]

well mp7 with fmj sx does stand out cuz its just goated

[coral canyon]

level 10 boomstick and some irons 🥀

[thorn ivy]

Prapor lvl 2 is mosin mb

[tidal lagoon]

but its also mechanic 4

[thorn ivy]

HavenMt played in a bit, but vepr is also good

[tidal lagoon]

u can easily find bt/bp for 545 early on

[fiery moat]

fmj sx is the only reason im buying anything from mechanic tbh

[coral canyon]

vepr km also suffers from the horrible ammo options and ontop of that its locked to single fire

[tidal lagoon]

yea he dont got much other than mods and fmj sx

[fiery moat]

i think he was talking about vepr hunter not vepr km, vepr hunter is decent for early

[hidden seal]

umc 45 is super cheap early trade

[fiery moat]

never underestimate 7.62x51 bcp fmj, its one of the "equalizers", giving u a chance to fight anyone

m80 lite

[hidden seal]

decent weapon, high damage per shot, works well agaibst legs

[smoky ice]

can anyone assist me

[coral canyon]

can yall list down some early weapons level 1 traders i can look into?

so far im hearing all smgs, vepr hunter

[smoky ice]

aksu prapor

[thorn ivy]

And besides you not liking the gunplay, try and avoid pvp in the beginning

[coral canyon]

i REALLY wanna break from running pp19s and uzi's

[smoky ice]

aksu

[coral canyon]

i dont find pvp it finds me

[coral canyon]

what ammo?

[fiery moat]

why, i basically have infinite access to all guns and i still use smgs 9/10 raids

[smoky ice]

gs us

[glass viper]

So got sick of being killed by tagilla. Went to shoreline, was lasered down by some lmg from 300yards away by knight

[fiery moat]

us? the subsonic ammo?

[coral canyon]

i mean other smgs are fine i just specifically meant pp19s and uzi's

[hidden seal]

u have peacekeeper unlocked?

[coral canyon]

yep

[hidden seal]

try ump 45 for the k ifes

[fiery moat]

be careful when using subsonic ammunitions like 5.45/7.62 US or 9x39 SPP fellas, remember their bullet velocity

[hidden seal]

you getvthe knifes mostly on fence

and usually people do not loot the hk ump 45

[coral canyon]

📝

[tidal lagoon]

aks74u variants, sks, kedr, vpo variants, mp-133 are t1

[coral canyon]

ah right i should consider shotguns

piranha still rocking?

or flechette

[tidal lagoon]

piranha good flechette better

[fiery moat]

carried me on early wipe whenever i brought it,altho i still didnt use it that much

[hidden seal]

imho only on maps that have lots of close range

[fiery moat]

piranha and flechette are deadly no matter who ur facing

[hidden seal]

obviously leave shotgun home in woods

[fiery moat]

woods and lighthouse are the only maps where u cannot trust your shotgun, or shoreline when ur not going health resort

[coral canyon]

yessir

[hidden seal]

in gz shotguns work super well

[coral canyon]

will continue questing and dying soon, will try out these gun recommendations fingers crossed

[hidden seal]

at end..itbis a taste thing

[fiery moat]

if ur in EU i may help you a little just for fun bc i have nothing much else to do

[hidden seal]

each one will have its dearest guns

[coral canyon]

yeah i get that not expecting it to double my survival rate but i just wanted a change of pace

[coral canyon]

asia 🥀

[fiery moat]

which servers u can pick below 200 ping

[coral canyon]

hold up lemme get on

[fiery moat]

i can play some servers outside eu like middle east, dubai(though very high ping) and i think central asia(didnt check the ping that much)

[coral canyon]

well this is unfortunate LMAO

whopping 3 choices that arent asian

[fiery moat]

these are the only servers shown on ur list?

[coral canyon]

nah everything else is 200+ though so i didnt bother including it in the shot

[fiery moat]

even central asia and middle east is 200+?

i can play NA east but not west or south

[coral canyon]

surprisingly asia central is 300?

no idea why though

[fiery moat]

i could try to play if it was below 200 but the game kicks you from the raid if ping reaches 220+ no matter what

220 is the maximum that the game allows i think

[coral canyon]

yeah i've experienced that with an american friend before

i was able to drop a glock and then after that game wouldnt stop kicking me out

[fiery moat]

i went MIA in a raid in WEST EUROPE bc my 50 ping suddenly went to 250 and never went down for the entire raid, i kept trying to get in the raid, move for 5 seconds just to get kicked out and wait another 4-5 mins

[coral canyon]

yeah pretty much exactly what happened to me shits annoying

playing with any friend from a different continent is typically just not an option

[fiery moat]

can u share ur screen, maybe i can at least "tell you what to do" if i can since i cannot help you in game

u can join beginners zone number 1

[coral canyon]

i mean sure but im not playing rn tho but can vc sometime

maybe in 30 or so because im mentally recuperating lmao

[fiery moat]

ok

[coral canyon]

how the regions on your end?

[fiery moat]

like what

[coral canyon]

ping-wise

seems you're living on the polar opposite end of the globe if there isnt even 1 server we can reach as a middle ground

[fiery moat]

i mean lowest ping i have is central europe, then west, then east,then south and worst ping is north(all below 100 tho) i can play middle east and NA east

i can also play central asia

and russia

but these 2 are also 170-180 ping

i also sometimes play nigeria or africa

all i can help you about is to tell you to focus heavily on prapor and peacekeeper, these 2 are by far the most useful traders

[coral canyon]

yeah all asian regions aside the only servers i got that are below 200ms are australia, new sealand, NA west and NA south

teetering below and above the 200ms mark though so its risky as hell to say the least

having a high ping is already a big enough disadvantage as is in this type of game

[coral canyon]

yeah this shits tragic but can definitely vc later at least

[thorn ivy]

I think everyone has high ping in tarkov. Not sure if it’s true what it says there

Think you put “fps 3” in console and you see live ping, but not sure

[fiery moat]

u can post a screenshot of ur quests so i can also tell you which ones to focus on(depending on the following questlines) so u dont spend time on weird quests that lead to nothing

[coral canyon]

im for the most part taking it at face value but im expecting ingame performance to be worse than displayed tbh

[coral canyon]

not my first wipe actually so i more-or-less remember whats useless and whats not and i've been doing a lot of research lately so i can catch up on whats changed

[fiery moat]

never had any issue ping wise except EUW server

[coral canyon]

just back after being gone for 2 years or so

[thorn ivy]

I mean, fps wise definitely. But i’ve never ping issues

[coral canyon]

i never touched streets cause i heard how horrible the performance is and im running a 2070 super so it always just scared me away

[thorn ivy]

I have a “high end” pc and I still get fps drops lol, dont even start about streets

[glass viper]

Is knight part of the goons?

[fiery moat]

oh ok, this is my first wipe and i have like 700hrs on steam, i struggled for the first 200 hours bc i was rather clueless and only knew how to pvp and was dumb at most of my decisions

[fiery moat]

yes

[thorn ivy]

Streets is doable but avoid the main middle road

[fiery moat]

knight,birdeye,big pipe

[thorn ivy]

Big pipe 🤤

[coral canyon]

i do have the "low performance streets" preset on if god forbid i ever have to traverse that land

[thorn ivy]

I love streets, fps just ass

[fiery moat]

i get 275 fps on labs but 65 on streets lol

[coral canyon]

the fact that it warrants its own graphics preset in itself is insane

[coral canyon]

this is maybe my 3rd or 4th wipe? i started back in 2021-2022 but i always play for a short bit, leave, and come back the next wipe

trying hard to get back into it since characters are permanent now

[fiery moat]

streets need to be reduced in size tbh, i had to play that map like 50 times for quests and i only saw like 4 pmcs in 50 raids, its 1 pmc per 12.5,insane ratio

and there are also so many POI's all over that huge map so u can just get in that map with nothing but a pistol and worst armor(to avoid scavtag) and get out while looting like 5 key rooms and getting in the btr and traversing around

[coral canyon]

i always hate learning new maps too so ive just been sticking with what i know, that being interchange, customs, and woods

back then i would run shoreline and reserve as well but rn i have no reason to go shoreline and i dont even have reserve unlocked

[tidal lagoon]

extremely anecdotal

[fiery moat]

had the same issue, on my first hours i always ran ground zero except when i needed to run quests, rn i memorized ground zero,woods,shoreline,customs,labs,factory ENTIRELY to the tiniest bit, know my way around lighthouse, a little bit of reserve and streets but dont know sht about labyrinth)

[coral canyon]

tf is labyrinth

[fiery moat]

damn

[fiery moat]

labs remastered+

[coral canyon]

oh brother

[fiery moat]

400k keycard instead of 100k, only available with transit, no access from menu, ur locked in a jigsaw trap in spawn, there are traps all around with poisoned barbwires and tripwires, only one extract,theres shadow of tagilla and vengeful killa

[coral canyon]

？？？

[tidal lagoon]

its cinema

if u ignore almsot every1 ratting

[coral canyon]

well was it worth it

[fiery moat]

yes if u ever step into a poisoned barbwire ur pretty much dead early or later unless u can rush ur way to extract with just enough meds

on my first raid into labyrinth,i didnt know anything, and i died like 4 seconds into the raid

INSTANTLY stepped into a trap after spawn and died

and ofc, no insurance, just like labs

1.5 million lost

[coral canyon]

thats half a mil down the drain then

yikes

[fiery moat]

only for keycard, remember i bring an entire kit too

[coral canyon]

how are you supposed to make more money later game? item prices are typically the same permanently

not as if bolts suddenly are more expensive at level 40

[fiery moat]

flea market prices change alot

one week, some items are cheap while others spike 5x in value,other week its vice versa

metal spare parts used to be 40-60k for months, now its 20k

thermite used to be 450k, then it went to 32k , now its 60k

[coral canyon]

damn even then though thats really just relying on the shifting prices

[fiery moat]

also some times during the day, equipments can spike in price too, i remember a PM2 1-8x scope being 150k+ for a day,then returning back to 35k, its original price,same with armored rigs etc.

[coral canyon]

is it possible to just sit comfy at 10-20mil roubles

rn im barely passing 1mil

[fiery moat]

roubles are no problem as u progress, XP and trader rep should be way more of ur concern

[thorn ivy]

I sold my entire stash when i quit, now i’m chilling playing the game with a safe 22 mil

I can chill and not care too much abt money while making money in raid anyway

[coral canyon]

ye rn im not TOO concerned about it, just trying not to hit negatives from dyinf in raid

lots of scav stuff i find goes to hideout anyway rather than therapist

money making can wait till flea

[fiery moat]

no matter what i spend, how many millions i dumped(at least 40 million) to max my hideout, i never managed to drop below 75 million for the past months, now im resting at 85m and like 30k dollars and tons of bitcoins(preparing them for escape) but i also kinda got stuff like full btc farm and solar power which makes my fuels last like 60hrs instead of 22hrs

[coral canyon]

damn

[fiery moat]

i still refuse to buy 9x19 pbp btw

and 7.62 pp

migi

[coral canyon]

thats me

[fiery moat]

i also suggest that later on, when u progressed a little bit more, contest high tier areas on such weird times

[coral canyon]

wdym?

[fiery moat]

i still rush labs sometimes at 4am or 5am in weekdays just before i go outside for my usual day

pure silence

[coral canyon]

i have not once touched labs theres just so much pressure

[fiery moat]

it was an example, u can do that with any map like chalets on lighthouse or dorms on customs etc

[coral canyon]

yeah im still living with family and my brother in the same room as me has speakers on for fucking everything he's never heard of earphones

genshin on the playstation, youtube on the computer and spotify on the jbl all at the same time

[fiery moat]

i was talking about servers being empty during those times not ur family bro

[coral canyon]

LMAO i thought you meant its quiet irl

i myself struggle hearing shit with whats going on irl at times but ig its skill issue

[fiery moat]

tarkov matchmaking searches for players for some minutes,then after a while it gives up and just puts you in a raid, though its always at least 1 more person that is not on your team, so ur never "purely alone" but rather on a 1v1 at least ,in a big server with no one else

[coral canyon]

servers can start with only 2 players?

[limpid knoll]

Hey, my game keeps crashing, can anybody give me advice?

[fiery moat]

takes like 10 mins of matchmaking but yes

[coral canyon]

thought it had to reach a minimum per map, like 7 or so

[fiery moat]

2 players if ur solo

[limpid knoll]

I've crashed twice in one raid evben though I have a really good pc

[fiery moat]

normally yes, but if theres no one playing the game at that moment then no

[coral canyon]

10min matchmaking time in the big 26 is nuts

its been 5 min queues + loading since my first wipe and shit hasnt changed for 1.0

[fiery moat]

u gotta play in some weird timing as i said, otherwise in EU servers u can never get more than 30 seconds between 6am to 1am

in 99% of my raids im in a raid in less than 3 mins

[coral canyon]

waking up at 4 so i can run a raid on shoreline is kinda crazy ngl but i'll consider it

[fiery moat]

when u got nothing else to do i mean

i sometimes dont get good sleep, wake up, check my phone, college lesson 5 hours later, fk it tarkov time

[coral canyon]

roger that

i'll ping if i ever hop on then so you can watch

[true osprey]

Start by posting specs

[coral canyon]

@fiery moat down to vc in a minute just trying to clear some quest in GZ

[coral canyon]

aight down whenever just dm or smth

[woven talon]

I’m from the US, looking for some assistance, I’ll be in pretty much all day/night today, so just dm or reply! Have a great day and good luck everyone

[weary sky]

what do you need?

[woven talon]

just tryna find someone to play with and get some tasks done

[fiery moat]

@coral canyon im here now

[coral canyon]

eep bad timing chief about to go to bed
some other time tho

knight just blasted the shit out of me while i was trying to task on woods lol

[fiery moat]

damn didnt know goons could spawn on woods

[coral canyon]

second time this has happened to me actually

[fiery moat]

i killed goons like 6 times and 5 of that was on shoreline and 1 was on lighthouse

[coral canyon]

ive killed them none times...

[fiery moat]

its also weird that u die to knight, i think hes by far the least concerning member

birdeye, big pipe, knight in this order by danger

[coral canyon]

i wasnt wearing armor cause i was doing the tarkov shooter

didnt bring any armor either

in any case my strongest available armor is class 3 so either way im going down in 2 shots

[fiery moat]

meh they mostly use bullets that can penetrate tier 4 and sometimes 5

oh u dont have flea,right

when u unlock flea i doubt you will use anything lower than 4

sometimes ppl sell tier 4 armors as low as 25k

[coral canyon]

what class 4 armor can i buy on flea? apparently some flea items are locked behind even higher levels now

[fiery moat]

i think armors are unlocked at level 15, except the tier 5 ones that need level 40(for some reason u can buy/sell tier 5 armors but only with korund vm plates, no other tier 5 plate can be sold)

btw at level 15 u will be able to buy shotguns and pistols. on 20, u can buy bolt actions and smgs, on 25 u can buy AR and DMR, but good quality scopes are locked behind level 35 and 40 depending on the scope

also some high tier guns are locked behind lvl40 too, like axmc

[coral canyon]

i was never into meta guns anyway so i dont mind

[coral canyon]

what specific class 4 though? tc2000s and 6b13s?

iirc pk2 sells mpxes so thats what im aiming to use next when i unlock it

[fiery moat]

yea, i dont think helmets are also level locked

lvl15 and lvl40 players can buy same helmets, i think except ronin respirator

[coral canyon]

never even heard of it

[fiery moat]

tier 4 but covers ur entire face and affects ur hearing badly, but u can wear earplugs instead of headsets with it

[coral canyon]

its on flea though so do these armors cost a fortune? im assuming most ppl source from ragman for the price

[fiery moat]

ronin respirator, i think it cannot even be bought im not sure, but its price should be 100k

also ppl can source bagarly armor from ragman 4 to sell it(have to remove backplate) too

120k for tier 5 armor with front and back, u cannot sell back so u just sell the armor with front only, people buy it cuz not everyone has ragman lvl4 which requires lvl42 so more than 4 mil xp

[coral canyon]

honestly not really interested in meta armor or anything tier 5

looking for something affordable and flashy and of course effective

[fiery moat]

"average dude" fit in this game is lvl4 helmet and armor, around 35-40ish penetration on bullet(anything over 40 is very good ammo) 25 slot backpack and a gun that costs max 150k

[coral canyon]

yeah thats definitely my kind of thing

back then i wouldnt run anything more than 170k

[fiery moat]

anyways, focus on "spa tour" questline on peacekeeper and "punisher" questline on prapor, these 2 are very important as they give very good rewards, are necessary, and also give very good trader reputation

spa tour and wet job can make ur peacekeeper go from lvl2 to lvl4

[coral canyon]

ah right but i still gotta grab that stupid watch on customs then i gotta do shaking up the teller which means dorms which i also hate

[fiery moat]

well i also used to have 200k kits but rn only my gun costs more than 200k, and i still wear average lvl4 helmet+headset which is another 100k, and tier 5 armor which usually costs between 140-200k ish depending on which one it is

[fiery moat]

thats why i told u to play the game on "weird times" like 4-5am when nobody is playing

thats how i did my quests to get theta container+stash the dvl-10 etc. for ragman yk those quests

prapor is necessary if u want to progress in this game

[coral canyon]

yeah if im awake i'll give it a shot maybe even load in a night raid

[fiery moat]

yeah dont load a night raid if u dont have NVG

[coral canyon]

ah unfortunately im broke

[fiery moat]

theres a nvg on skier for 30k and its not that bad,theres also another on flea for like 60k i think, but they also require adapters etc. etc. and specific helmets, like u cannot put these on an ULACH or ACHHC etc. u need bastion or tc2002 or helmets like that

[coral canyon]

i still need 1 scav kill w/o body armor on woods and theres still search mission for prapor so i really gotta get those out of the way before i touch customs

[fiery moat]

search mission is easy when u got the flare, u can just extract from flare

[coral canyon]

also gotta find that one claymore on gz for jaeger

[coral canyon]

flare?

[fiery moat]

green flare, can be bought from jaeger for 6k, it enables u to extract through "flare extracts" on some maps

[coral canyon]

ah i see this is very interesting

[fiery moat]

like mira avenue from ground zero

[coral canyon]

and only 6k AND its a level 1 trader item

i'll definitely give that a shot, thanks

[fiery moat]

theres also red rebel and paracord extract. on these, you need to have a paracord on ur special slot and have a red rebel in ur knife slot and go to the extraction point with these items

[coral canyon]

is there anything i need to know about how to fire this flare?

[coral canyon]

ah i know about that but doesnt red rebel cost like 2 mil so i think i wont bother considering that for now

[fiery moat]

put in ur special slot, equip it in a hotkey(drag it to one of the boxes like number 4 5 6 etc) then equip it with that hotkey number and look up(not fully up, it fires backwards, just like 85 degrees up) and shoot it(make sure it says "signal flare area" on bottom right of ur screen when u approach the area to fire the flare

also that flare always spawns on the mira avenue, on a dead scav, it spawns every raid on ground zero, u can find it unless someone else takes it

[coral canyon]

i already have jaeger so no worries on that end i'll just buy it

[fiery moat]

its been 1 mil for months, also on maps with red rebel extract,theres no flare extract

[inner isle]

Wat kinda places could i loot if i wanna target attachments and drums like the ar-10 50 round drum for guns like the scar h x17? The 7.62x51 one

[coral canyon]

item drops on death if its in special hotbar?

[fiery moat]

no

[coral canyon]

do i just look straight up when i fire it

[fiery moat]

yes,aim fully up, but then turn ur mouse just a little down, bc if u aim fully up then it just shoots the flare over ur head more to the backwards

make sure it says "signal flare area" on bottom right, its a warning when u enter the area that u need to shoot the flare

[coral canyon]

alright then, then all thats left is to make sure that im firing it in the actual extract then and not near the extract

ah thats convenient

[fiery moat]

and make sure u see the sniper icon like a crosshair, u will run through that crosshair after u shoot the flare

[coral canyon]

？

a sniper icon?

[open iron]

you get notification in corner when in flare area

[fiery moat]

can u watch a video on youtube

bc you'll mess it up probably if u dont see it visually

[coral canyon]

yeah i'll check it out, thanks for the info tho

[fiery moat]

the flare extracts are in maps like ground zero ,interchange,woods,customs,streets

the red rebel extracts are in maps like shoreline,reserve,lighthouse

red rebel extracts are always next to the "main point" of these maps like chalets on lighthouse,health resort on shoreline and the dome on reserve

[coral canyon]

[tough bough]

hi everyone i want to ask is this set for pve ok to go factory i fear the killa going to f me thank u

[scenic lake]

what ammo do you have loaded in?

[tough bough]

855

[scenic lake]

if tagilla has his welding mask you might be fucked

if he has the mask you have you should be fine

[tough bough]

which mask

[scenic lake]

cqcm

its only class 3 so m855 will pen it

but his welding mask is class 5 so you would need to hit him a bunch to kill

[tough bough]

xd

[scenic lake]

hmm?

[tough bough]

nopthing

[scenic lake]

👍

[tough bough]

thank u

[scenic lake]

no problem

[fiery moat]

99% of the times i encountered/killed tagilla he had goriilla mask on, on the other 1% he had ubey(kill) mask on, both being tier 5 welding masks, never saw him with cqcm, altho i once saw him with tier 4 strandhogg instead of tier 6 avs

[scenic lake]

i did today

i was surprised

[fiery moat]

i always just burst his head until he dies, faster than shooting anywhere else on him

[keen fossil]

I mean tigilla really isn’t that hard

Just damage him a little then shoot him when he starts to heal

[fiery moat]

yea thats not what u think it is

tagilla often rushes with sledgehammmer when he sees you and u got 2 options during that time

a- spray him with as many bullets as u can and kill him or b- run away until he gets "tired" and stops chasing u and switches to gun

[west pewter]

can you still kite him pulling his melee out like back in the day

[fiery moat]

when he pulls out a gun now its a gunfight between u and him, he either has an ak with pp or bt(34 or 37 pen) or a saiga shotgun

[fiery moat]

when he pulls out his sledgehammer you have to RUN without ever trying to change directions or looking back, just run until he stops ,then u also stop and start firing him when he starts pulling out his gun, dont try to shoot him when hes very close to you unless u can really onetap or twotap him

by changing directions i mean u can just turn left or right and keep running but dont make a full U turn into him or anything that makes him get closer to you

[keen fossil]

If he trying to melee you just turn and shoot him

I’ve melee’d tigilla before

he’s pretty easy

You can also just shoot his legs out if you have no pen ammo

[shut trail]

hi guys, why do i have the feeling that enemies dont die? i struggle to ez kill even with pacas, decent players on the other hand just melts me, even with normal pen ammo, why so??

[lunar mist]

armor seems to absorbs a portion of the damage it seems, no matter how good ammo is, the only exception i find are headshots. If you using 545 or 556 damage on those rounds are weak so body shots against good armor really take a good few rounds to kill

[fiery moat]

what bullet and gun are you using? are you sure your shots are hitting their thorax and not the stomach?

[west pewter]

How are yall handling the pillagers? I cant even get out of spawn some raids, they have crazy agro.

[fiery moat]

they are raiders but a little weaker. unless you show yourself to all of them at once on long range, you should be fine. they are good at long range encounters, try to get close to them without getting shot, move around covers till you get close to them and then you should be able to easily kill them like scavs

or you can kill them from very far away if you see them without them seeing you, but after your first shot you will realize this is a bad idea

as they just hide after first bullet or just blast you from long range if you are within their effective range

[proper sphinx]

Hi guys, how hard is the GPSA to obtain and extract with? I’m wishing to get one for intel 3 however my PvP skill against PMCs and raiders is very bad …

I just want the GPSA so I can scav quicker to be honest, but if that’s all I want then is it really worth trying to get? I don’t know what else level 3 really gives you.

[tidal lagoon]

if u just want it to scav quicker then not worth imo, u scaving more means less pmc and playing pmc is what makes u better at the game

the crafts arent really anything special either, the only nice thing would be -30% flea fee

i cant remember the last time i had intel 3 after they added the gpsa requirement tbh

[north bear]

I mean you need it to escape right

[tidal lagoon]

Hm probably true yea, I ain’t done allat

[north bear]

Fair fair 🙂 pretty sure you need it for all endings, at least debtor needed it

[tidal lagoon]

Sounds right ye cuz of the craft

[north bear]

Jub

[proper sphinx]

Can scavs not pay the transits to take loot out? The option is available but I get ‘failed to purchase service’ pretty often

[next nimbus]

no

[proper sphinx]

okay, thank you!

[glass viper]

If I shoot a green flare at extract and get killed, can the guy who killed me use that extract? Or does it only work for me and my teammates

[cinder shadow]

I have a question, is it worth it turning on post FX in tarkov or is it somewhat optional?

[next nimbus]

only teammates

if you or one of your teammates use a flare, the extract will be open for the entire team for the rest of the raid

[next nimbus]

post fx got nerfed but they are still one of the few things that make the game playable

[cinder shadow]

Will it somewhat affect on how a person is visible from places like dorms or the resort on Shoreline?

[next nimbus]

depends on ur settings

theres a gazzillion different ways you can tweak postfx

[cinder shadow]

My settings are mostly focused on Performance so I don’t know if like High Visibility postfx is gonna affect my performance.

[next nimbus]

psotfx usually doesnt

[hidden seal]

most people are bottlenecked on CPU not GPU for tarkov

so POSTFX has very little impact for most people

[cinder shadow]

Ah I understand now, thank you very much I thought it may drop my fps and cause some issues, I am not familiar with settings like tarkov and stuff like that so I just get some settings from Youtube since I don’t know if that’s good or not.

[hidden seal]

test it anyway.. if your GPU is weak you might lose a tad of performance. But for most people is like very little impact

[cinder shadow]

I will try that, thank you.

[hidden seal]

Like I have a ryzen 5 5600 and a NV5060TI so PostFX changes nothign sicne my GPU is much more advanced than my CPU

[cinder shadow]

I think I have a gpu that’s 4090ti i don’t remember the cpu though but I feel like it’s not the worst.

[hidden seal]

you probably can keep POStFX on

also tarkov is not an FPS that you suffer as much if your FPS are not super high.. not compared to CS for example

[violet karma]

what would be the easiest map for test drive part 1?

[sonic iron]

I keep getting a checksum error while downloading game any one no a fix

[winter belfry]

anyone that wants a chill someone to help with tasks and map knowledge lmk i also have gear i can give you. NA 18+ chill not sweats

[high ingot]

Shoreline, woods

[violet karma]

any tips on how to do setup or should i just run around looking for someone

[inner isle]

Wat kinda places could i loot if i wanna target attachments and drums like the ar-10 50 round drum for guns like the scar h x17? The 7.62x51 one

[high ingot]

Use superformance slugs and aim for legs

[proper sphinx]

To be honest most of my setup kills were from trading a dead teammate. I didn’t know customs very well regarding where players were n stuff so I just jumped out when my teammate died in like big red or smt and shot people when they were not ready

Took me a hot minute though, reflecting on it setup Isn’t terrible you just gotta accept you will probably die to a super duper chad like 10:1 fights

[violet karma]

the problem is im a solo player

[inner isle]

What am i missing for gunsmith - old friend's request for this gun?

Oh ffs thats dumb, the peq had to be tan instead of black, bruuh

[coral canyon]

is it safe to assume that the effective range of any smg is around 50 meters just like pistols?

[tidal lagoon]

around that

[coral canyon]

i guess thats one more reason to use a rifle even if i dont have access to good ammo then

[proper sphinx]

guys . . . what. . . are you not able to cancel reloads in this game? I am so bamboozled idfieajiaejaijfaijeas

[bleak tiger]

right or left click mouse

[hexed sparrow]

is it normal to lose 1.64 scav rep for killing a scav as a scav?

[proper sphinx]

was your scav rep 6+ prior?

if so is it at 5,99 or 7,99 now*

[silver karma]

Hi guys I just boufht the standard edition, is the matchmaking supposed to take this long? I have been in queue for 7 minutes

[shrewd python]

That's the upper end for sure

[tidal lagoon]

double check ur servers in the launcher

[silver karma]

what should i check?

11 min now lol

[tidal lagoon]

just back out of the raid its probably bugged, happens sometimes it just matches forever, check u have correct servers for ur region and maybe select some extra servers that have good ping

[silver karma]

ok i see the issue, i was on my local server (dubai) and it said a massive estimated time

switched to europe and trying again

so much work only to then probably be shot within 15 seconds lol

[shrewd python]

welcome to tarkov

[silver karma]

ok this isn't working 🫠

oh god i am in

how do i open the map?

[tidal lagoon]

there isnt one

u can find maps on tarkov wiki

[open iron]

they need to fix that

crazy there isnt a system for it yet

[tidal lagoon]

eh I kinda agree, I like no map but in the end everyone just looks at maps on wiki anyways so it doesnt really work

they do actually have maps in game but they are kinda shit and annoying to use, like u have to buy it from trader or whatever first and then have it on ur character to use it

[open iron]

same, but the hand drawn maps they already have

[silver karma]

ok i am dead

[open iron]

just have you PMC carry 1 for each location at all times

[tidal lagoon]

think they should update the current in game ones and make them available without needing them on ur character, but keep it just a map ofc no showing where u are and such

[tepid arrow]

Welcome to Tarkov <3

[silver karma]

good waste of 30 min hahah

[open iron]

exactly

[tepid arrow]

You’re going to waste a lot more

[tepid arrow]

Don’t get discouraged my friend

[tidal lagoon]

ur first hundreds of hours are gonna be just getting curbstomped

[tepid arrow]

It’ll be fun tho

[open iron]

yea the games is huge in the masochist community

[silver karma]

I was thinking of vendoring my stash because in these sort of games i enjoy starting from
nothing but something tells me the game will do that for me quickly

[tidal lagoon]

yes u are most likely right

[open iron]

if you are brand new i would suggest watching a couple of YT vids before starting, and mabye take some offline raids to learn Ground zero, and then use ur scav to learn other maps (woods/customs) to start with

[silver karma]

I didn't want to spoil the game for myself but yes, honestly never felt as clueless in a game before

I don't even know how I died, I just fell to the ground

[desert viper]

The lack of map and on screen markers makes it to you 😄

It will pass

[open iron]

yeah its gonna be a nightmare if you dont get a little help from somewhere. but just a quick vid where they explain quest/story, how meds work, ammo, and lootin and such will go a long way

how quest works*

[desert viper]

I tried to actually get my irl friends to Tarkov but they dropped out after 2-3 raids ;x

[tidal lagoon]

yea literally like every single tarkov player ever uses external resources like wiki and youtube and BSG support the wiki too

[silver karma]

Is this a bad idea by the way? Would make it easier if I only had the items I need that I would need from the traders, right now I have a bunch of different ammo and weapons in the stash

[shrewd python]

You're thinking of selling everything in your stash and only using stuff you buy from traders, is that right?

[silver karma]

yes

[shrewd python]

Main issue is that you just can't buy much at all from low level traders. Why not use the stuff you have already?

[silver karma]

mild ocd lol

i just like to have a tidy stash and only what i actually need/use

[shrewd python]

Well feel free to sell things that you'll never need or use, but why not use some of the guns/ammo in your stash?

[shrewd python]

And the quicker you get over the want to have a tidy stash, the better. People waste so much damn time trying to tidy their stash. I've never seen the point

[silver karma]

yeah makes sense

[shrewd python]

Just hit autosort, do a sell run, and go back in raid

[desert viper]

That is what I do actually xD

[hidden seal]

the bext few hundred will be getting cumberstomped as soon as you start to have hope

[desert viper]

And dont worry your stash will get much empiter soon enough on it's own ^^ no need to rush it

[silver karma]

It actually does not work for some reason, it tells me "failed to sort stash"

[shrewd python]

too full

Yea if your stash is that full you def need to sell some stuff

[hidden seal]

anything you can buy with your current traders is free to sell

[shrewd python]

don't hoard scav guns either, lotta new players do that

and for the love of god don't fill all your rigs and bags with random stuff

[desert viper]

Think you start with bunch of cheese (yellow medkits) you can sell them also leave couple

[hidden seal]

in the start before you have containers it is axway to exand your stash

as rigs have positive ratio

[desert viper]

Ow and use "INEEDSPACE" code in your luncher

It gives you some boxes if I recall correclty

[shrewd python]

It can be, if you're very careful
The vast majority of new players are not, they just shove random shit in all their rigs, and then their stash gets full and it's impossible to go through and sell shit easily

Feel free to have like a med rig and a food rig and an attachment rig, but don't go overboard, keep it organized, and USE THE SHIT you put in your rigs. SO many new players just fill them up and then never touch them

[shrewd python]

also yea, what dodek said, use these codes

??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

[silver karma]

oh damn nice, will try them thanks

[cyan knot]

[marsh marlin]

Why do i get this error when i want to sell this armor plate?

It always pop error and kick me to main menu screen

I mean that korund-VM front

It says something like "your level less than 40" but i can freely buy those plates and sell them even on level 23

[shrewd python]

prob just a weird bugged item
clear cache and try again
I mean if I was you I'd just use it

[scenic lake]

can you actually buy them?

or do you always get the error

[marsh marlin]

Did not try, but i have them unlocked in flea, i just sold it to vendor no biggie, it was like 15k difference.

[scenic lake]

you are not able to buy them

you need the lvl, its just a bug

[daring plover]

where can i find cofdm transmitters aside from lighthouse?

[scarlet compass]

RB-PKPTS on Reserve and Labrys

[lunar mist]

cultist if you have a quest to hand in

[quiet jetty]

plus reserve mark rooms, and few on streets

[cinder coral]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[limpid knoll]

Yeah sure! Sorry for the late response. I have 64gb ddr5 ram, i7 14700k, and an rx7900xt with all drivers up to date

[hoary comet]

rogues or raiders wear this rig? haley strategic d3crx

[limpid knoll]

No other games do this for me

[north locust]

Lol i crash all the time when playing tarkov

i also have about the same specs as yours

[true osprey]

Try DDU and downgrade to 25.12.1

[stoic snow]

Does anyone wanna play and help me im new to the game and ngl a little confused

[limpid knoll]

What's DDU?

And yeah, I'll try downgrading

I heard that the newest drivers for AMD are kinda fcked

[true osprey]

Display Driver Unistaller, google it brother and get familiar with it cuz its gona come in handy

[shrewd python]

still lookin?

[hidden seal]

DDUs are usually only needed if you switch from AMD to NVidia or vice versa

or if you had a crash during a driver installation

[junior sedge]

hi

[hazy cave]

LF some pals NAC pretty new icl would like some help if given 🙂

[hollow parcel]

any sherpa looking to help me learn some the maps, finding extraction is so not beginner friendly

[cyan knot]

[crimson torrent]

LF some help. I'm returning, though I didn't have much experience when I previously played. Would love somebody to show me the ropes and get me up to speed. I'm NA

[cyan knot]

Sherpa is not just a newbie instructor. I also learn from the Sherpa spirit to help newbies. If you have any difficulties, please ask me for help and I will offer my assistance👍

[keen fossil]

He’s lying

[wet musk]

Who can help me with my custom task if so dm me im in the US

[slender plover]

how do you make a group now

[toxic trench]

anyone know what task is after taking whats mine for ref?

[hazy cave]

LF chill players to run some tasking preferably under lvl 20 or a sherpa to help me out :/

[toxic trench]

can i put a zoomer on for test drive 2

[violet karma]

does anyone know why i cant put it in

i mean the hybrid 46 suppressor

oh nvm i got it

[latent prairie]

bro pillagers, guards, reshala AND fkng goons ALL inside the fort in customs had one of the most chaotic raids bruh

[desert creek]

is this a good key for money?

[latent prairie]

i would say u almost the same amouunt you spent maybe a little bit profit

[desert creek]

i found it on a body

[violet karma]

do i lose rep for killing pillagers as a scav

[abstract harness]

yeah, 7ish mil on flea, marked room gives lots of colored labs cards + btc + ledx + red rebel

[latent prairie]

oh u lucky it sells for almost 7mill rn

im pretty sure

[violet karma]

what would be the best shotgun for setup

[proper sphinx]

I really enjoyed mp133 and mp-18 (mp-18 counts as a shotgun)

I didn't really wear armour because most of the time I got shot with lvl 5+ pen ammo so setup kits were pretty cheap

[violet karma]

i think im just gonna camp the stairs of dorms like i did for test drive where i hid behind the trees near dorms vex

should i be bringing piranha bullets?

[proper sphinx]

You can totally do that yeah I reliably find people at dorms (if I spawn early and near dorms that is)

[proper sphinx]

idk I never understood why people brought piranha I just brought flechette or ap-20 for torso / head OR cheap buckshot since if you can hit your shots it should take only 1 mag to take someone down

[violet karma]

aim for the legs right

[proper sphinx]

With anything that doesn't have good pen yeah I like aiming for the legs

I like aiming for the legs because for me it's 1000x easier to track vs the head

[violet karma]

okay thanks

u think i should be running mp 153 and an mp18 or would it be too expensive

[proper sphinx]

i mean what is your budget? i lose a bucket load of money whenever I do pmc kill tasks like test drive, setup, tarkov shooter

i spent 3-4 mil for tarkov shooter because I was rushing it and dying a lot

[violet karma]

i only got likw 2m roubles to spare and im actually willing to soend all of so i can get this fuckass quest done

[proper sphinx]

i think setup took me like 3 mil overall over a long time because I died a lot but the kits weren't like super good

[violet karma]

and its way harder now cus its no longer winter event and its late into the wipe its so over

[hollow parcel]

i found a gas analyzer in the factory but its not letting me hand it over to the therapist for the quest?

[violet karma]

maybe u died and it lost its found in raid status

[hollow parcel]

oh yeah i dont see the check on it

[inner isle]

Is the benelli, Any good to use at all?

[proper sphinx]

I think it's lovely for scavs and pmcs that can be easily killed by flechette or lower, I love shotguns and it's one of my favs

[inner isle]

It doesnt look like it has much customization on it tho

[slender plover]

Stronghold and panda as well as boiler are decent early raid if you spawn there and here someone fighting the pillagers

Hear

Dorms marked room is very spicy atm, so should be some traffic there

[bleak tiger]

In pve it's fine nothing crazy

[waxen sequoia]

Hello, sorry, I have a bit of a problem. I've been trying for about 4 hours now, but for some reason my game just won’t launch. Every time, it says my email or password is incorrect with error 206.
I’m slowly losing my mind, and honestly starting to consider drowning myself in alcohol because this is getting ridiculous.
Right now, I just feel like I got scammed out of 60€. Has anyone else had this issue, or did my account get hacked or something?
(Sorry if there are mistakes, English isn’t my native language.)

[bleak tiger]

#community-support or contact support through website

[waxen sequoia]

Also, I already opened a support ticket, but I accidentally closed it like an idiot, so now I’m stuck and can’t reopen it for the moment

[sage hatch]

can anyone help me do a vehicle extract on ground zero?

[dim relic]

i can try if u want

[sage hatch]

I gotta go soon so maybe after school

[dim relic]

sure

[inner isle]

Cant figure out why gunsmith part 11 isnt lettin me turn this in, i didint miss anything did i?

[bleak tiger]

Check wiki as always

[pine shard]

How does the game work?

[bleak tiger]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Gunsmith_-_Part_11

[inner isle]

Its, why i came here

[inner isle]

Changed it a bit, now the only difference is that silencer which, it Says any will do

Still not lettin me turn it in tho

Aaand yeah it was the Damn silencer, they should, probs fix that part

[tidal lagoon]

the wiki build specifices osprey 9

[inner isle]

Wiki yes, the actual Task ingame doesnt

Just says silencer in general

[tidal lagoon]

bug ig then

prolly never getting fixed

nvm

its cuz u didnt meet recoil requirement with the other build u had with the silencer

u could technically use any silencer for the build but realistically u wont achieve the recoil required

[inner isle]

Huh

[tidal lagoon]

what

[inner isle]

No just, surprised

[potent torrent]

can someone help me which stims i should sell and which i should hold?

not for quest - just for playing

[humble cave]

Recoil too high

[humble cave]

"i changed the wiki build why doesn't it work"

[spark anchor]

it would let you use any silencer as long as you get the recoil down to 240 total and dont fuck up the ergo with it lmao

wiki prob just gives the most cost efficient build from flea, or the only build that can get it that low

[inner isle]

I wasnt following the wiki originally i actually tried it myself

[spark anchor]

what type of gift did this game bestow me wtf

oh nvm i had to click sacrifice to see

[humble cave]

Wiki builds are based on lowest traders

[spark anchor]

ah np

[vagrant lava]

anyone know any good weapon builds? i dont really know how to get my recoil below 90 vert 200 horizontal

[fiery moat]

you HAVE TO specify the weapon bro

90 recoil on what

its relatively hard to get 90 recoil on an svds but possible, its easy to get an ak below 90 recoil too, if your smg(any smg) has 90 recoil ur doing something really wrong, depends on what gun we are talking about

[silver karma]

I am trying out pve and I was wondering, do the AI PMC simulate looting as well? Because if not it means there is no risk to my gear as long as it's insured right?

[fiery moat]

if you play on local hosted servers, the raid instantly ends when you die since you are the host and theres no meaning. if its BSG hosted server, the raid continues normally and they can take your loot and extract

[silver karma]

How do I play on bsg hosted servers?

[fiery moat]

there should be a slider after you click play and are selecting maps, didnt play pve but it should be like that

[scarlet compass]

Really? thought servers end when the last player extracts or dies

[fiery moat]

on pve? arent you the only player? can you even play with a friend on local hosted servers?

[hollow minnow]

yes

[inner isle]

Hang on so, if ur stuff is insured, and u play on local servers, is it garaunteed u get ur insured stuff back considerin nothing can loot it?

[scarlet compass]

No I mean like the server continues when you play alone on bsg server? and died or extracted

[scarlet compass]

This is the case for local I'm pretty sure

but I thought bsg servers end too when you are the only person remaining and left the raid

[humble gorge]

Hello, i have a problem with verificartin, emails dont income

[junior sedge]

can some one help me learn the game ?

[silver karma]

How is this as a brand new player starter kit? apologies for picture i don't have discord on my pc

[lunar mist]

not terrible, you on pvp or pve

[silver karma]

pvp for now for as long as I can tolerate the pain

[inner isle]

We'll welcome you to PvE if you come over

[weary sky]

good on you. stick it out

[lunar mist]

the hardest part is learning from your deaths and not having scopes for soooo long

[vocal mist]

it's not bad. You won't have an easy time hitting with those iron sights, but depending on your level there might not be much you can do about it

[silver karma]

I tried it and may go back to it, I am a bit turned off by the predictable AI. Early I had a gunfire in ground zero and literally 7 AIs just started rolling in the same spot just to get easily shot by me, was not fun

[lunar mist]

yeh reason I cant play, its to easy, I need human element to keep me on my toes

[shrewd python]

PvE bopring

doesn't have that X factor

[fiery moat]

i hope you dont encounter any type of rogue,raider, a boss' guard or a pmc, cuz ur gonna be at a high disadvantage. given that ur brand new and have no good options unlocked,this is average. i'd rather go with an smg instead though, carbines need some good bullets or some good scopes and accuracy to be feared

replacing that vepr km with a kedr would make your survival chances way,way higher

also, when every rouble matters in early game, sell your bayonet, and grab one from a scav or whatever you kill. if you find the same bayonet you had, its like 10k for nothing.

[shrewd python]

kedr OP

or PP19

you can put a sight on pp19

[fiery moat]

SMGs are the best friends of low level pmcs

[shrewd python]

low recoil, high rof, high damage
spray for face or legs

[fiery moat]

i barely touched any 5.56, 5.45 or 7.62x39 early game

[shrewd python]

I use pp19 and kedr until I get the mpx

[fiery moat]

depending on the map, its 3 options. 7.62x51 and snipe them, shotgun and blast their legs or smg and spray their faces. the 3rd option, i still use the 3rd option even after 5 million xp and all traders maxed

like, these 3 are your best options as a low budget, low level dude

[shrewd python]

imo SMG's are always better than shotguns

[fiery moat]

there are like a few small situations where shotguns are better, but i prefer taking an smg 99% of the time

[shrewd python]

but if you can find good 545 that's another decent option as a low level, it's fairly common

BS, BP, BT

[fiery moat]

yeah, a stock ak with a sight on it and some good bullet, i even saw that on labs and labyrinth, if it works, it works.

[silver karma]

I have access to nothing, no smgs or anything, skier only sells me shotguns and a couple of carbines

I can't even buy proper food, only army crackers that restore no energy

I have money for 2 more kits like the one shown then I am out of everything and i have no clue how to progress

[fiery moat]

are you EU

i can help you get on your feet

i saved around 10 ppl like this, from zero to at least some decent stash and a few million

[silver karma]

thank you but i want to play the game as intended, but maybe the intented way is not that fun 😅

[fiery moat]

intended? being a duo is also intended

im not gonna drop you billions of ledxs or anything, was just gonna help you do your quests and give you the good loot i found during raids

[shrewd python]

have you not made it out of customs yet?

or gone there 3 times

Also yea, this game is very much intended to be played with a group lol

[silver karma]

mm ok it makes sense, yeah lets do it if you're down. i live in dubai so it's a bit late and I am heading to the gym, but i can add you in game maybe?

[silver karma]

i just realized i can spam naked runs 3 times and get that sorted, i was avoiding that map because i get lost in it on my scav runs

[shrewd python]

I wouldn't suggest that, always worth taking in something, even if it's just a scav kit

You have to die a bunch to learn a map, just part of it

[fiery moat]

yeah its a new addition, i think less than a month. u can unlock most maps by visiting 3 times if u cannot extract

[fiery moat]

he can take a bad armor with a pistol

enough to fight scavs

and he gotta avoid pvp or try to get a lucky good shot

[shrewd python]

yea, anything really, just don't nakey rush

[fiery moat]

dont get scav tagged too

[fiery moat]

yea u can text me on discord when ur available. its 8.30 pm around here so its not late for me, ill hang around for at least 5 more hours

i get high ping on dubai, maybe we can find a middle ground server between us

[fiery moat]

actually, getting scav tagged in an empty raid is probably one of the best things he can do

just make sure u got a good position(both map-wise to run to extract,and spot-wise to fight them from a good angle) and let them come

free xp which is always good and free scav loot, each scav can spawn with some good value items like blank keycard,roubles,streamer items, moonshine, or at least some items like alyonka or sugar

some scavs can even spawn with tier 4 OR 5, its possible

[shrewd python]

can scavs spawn with any t5 other than gzhel? does that even still happen? I feel like I haven't seen that in ages

[fiery moat]

i think they do if im not mistaken, i saw a scav with another t5 but i forgot which one

most common is gzhel definitely

but

by far the best raid he can have is

if he manages to loot interchange cash registers

extraction is optional at that point

oli,idea, and goshan if he actually can(30 registers one store)

im pretty sure all of them almost always combine to over 2 million roubles, like 15 or so in idea, similar amount in oli and 30 in goshan

[latent prairie]

what level do you get the the collector ?(kappa quest)

[vocal mist]

If you are ever unsure about anything in the game, just google "Tarkov wiki <the thing>"

[fiery moat]

theres not a certain level for the collector quest but you have to do intimidator which requires lvl45. thats the quest with highest lvl requirement

though if you actually try to do all kappa quests im sure you will reach level 45 before completing all others then u can do intimidator(its a very easy task, just level locked)

[hidden seal]

I have such a bad luck when I try to go to Goshan.. I think I can count in my fingers number times I survived there

[inner isle]

Is dorm 314 the marked room thats usually the best to open?

I jus got it outta cultist circle so

[elfin sinew]

It can be pretty good, like all marked rooms they can be hit or miss but you should still be able to make money opening it but if your desperate then I think the key with full uses is like 5 or 6 mil

[inner isle]

Nah i'd defo wanna use it

[bleak tiger]

decent

[elfin sinew]

Needed for a quest as well, the cult part 2

[fiery moat]

loot wise i dont think its anything exceptional, just a good decent marked room key, but its expensive af

and remember its in 3 story dorms, you know what it means

[hidden seal]

It means the marked room behind satan personal bathroom in hell is safer

[fiery moat]

and also theres a chance that some people can just rush inside, loot it and get out

[naive galleon]

Right now it has very good loot, I think 600-800k for opening in the long term

[naive galleon]

I would suggest to keep it and loot the marked. Be aware that you need space in the safe to extract the document cases, having melee slot free is also a good thing to do. Watch a video about the keycard spawns locations inside (some are easy to miss)

[fiery moat]

600k worth of loot would never be worth to use dorms 314 lol. the key itself is like 600k per use already. 0 profit on top of the risk of getting killed since you are going to open a marked key in a very dangerous spot

last time i checked it was 6 million

10 uses in total

[shrewd python]

7

just now at least

[fiery moat]

700k down the drain everytime you open that door

with the risk included it has to be 1m per opening at least

[hidden seal]

that if you survive with all that you loot

marked rooms easy to reach I just visit late in raid hopign someoen left somethign there and it is open

[silver karma]

I did a couple of ground zero raids and I managed to extract as I am starting to learn the map.. but since I have access to the 3x3 bag, i wonder how should I approach looting? My kit costs about 170k to buy and when I extract I make about 25k when I vendor the items I don't need

Maybe I should consider like a minimum loadout? I die 99% of the times a player takes a shot at me so I am wondering if I need a lot of meds and armor

3x3 i mean the one ragman sells

[chrome spade]

i need a mod to report rasicm

racism

[vocal mist]

#discord-mod-mail

[hidden seal]

while you are still learnign the map not worth to brign your expensive stuff. But that changes as soon as you start to try to do tasks

[latent prairie]

anyone any idea where i can find thjis shitty pistol ive been lookin for it for atleast 4 days now

i know its on scavs but any tips or anything

how i can find it quicker

[scenic lake]

its completly rng

scavs is your best bet, there really isnt a trick to that

[latent prairie]

its one of the main quests i have left for kappa i just wanna do the rest using svds so i can finish multiple tasks at the same time

[scenic lake]

you can go as a scav and ask other player scavs if they have it

[tepid arrow]

Maybe as a player scav you can trade another player scav for it

Oh the fellow already suggested

[tepid arrow]

Ideally you don’t want to be shot in the 1st place, also, your loot extracted is rlly not good

[restive ruin]

duffles arent a bad option for pm pistol

[tepid arrow]

Spend some time in practice raids finding where stuff is and when you extract pay attention to what items sell for how much

[proper sphinx]

Pretty common on Kaban guards if you scav and the camp is cleared, I wish someone told me this much sooner

[tepid arrow]

In general, most gun parts are useless except suppressors and optics

[proper sphinx]

I like suppressors, optics and maybe sometimes magazines I agree

[latent prairie]

duffle really ?

[latent prairie]

can try

[latent prairie]

yea is ee wym

[tepid arrow]

Very few mags are worth anything and the ones that are are only good on flea

[proper sphinx]

oh yeah for sure I always sell the 75 rounder 7,62x39 magazines when I find them since they're 50.000 to sell but rather common on scavs

[nova zealot]

Can someone please help me with sew it good part 3? I just need you to shoot my body armor with the blicky like 15 times and thats it (PVP)

[open iron]

i also need to do it ? if you are up for it 🙂

[nova zealot]

yes pls

[open iron]

duo 5 ?

[proper sphinx]

Hi friends, for shooter born in heaven, I’m currently starting on shoreline. Where can I typically find PMCs and where can I snipe them from? Thank you! 🤲

I know the map layout however I do not know the player flow or pathing

[slender plover]

extract ratting is the lowest form of life but prolly the easiest

specifally the red rebel extract

[naive galleon]

It's not neccesary to buy it. You can get the 3 marked on Reserve use them until they are 1/10 consumes, than trade them for a brand new 314 😉 I like to open marked keys, the usual loot can go in the safe (keycards, red rebel, taiga ect).

a red rebel is 1m, also red is 1m so it's likely to get some good money out of marked (obv it's only personal opinion)

[wicked crescent]

Any chance anyone could help run me through few map extracts. I always loose my stuff because i cant find them.

[tepid arrow]

Run some practice raids my friend

[austere basin]

Down to help shoot me a dm if you want

[cinder coral]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[eager river]

no idea how i have this i literally just got the game do i sel it or keep it

[cursive prawn]

hiii welcome to OEFT!!

i highly suggest keeping it, it’s a led X ! it’s one of the standard items given to you in the tutorial and you’ll need several of them, and be hard pressed to find them! the money is enticing however you’ll punch yourself in regret when it comes time to need it

also! click “examine” and you’ll get the full detail on the covered item

[eager river]

oh crap

i didnt know that i could do that

tyty

[cursive prawn]

you are going to have a lot of questions, as this game tells you virtually nothing. #beginners-chat is usually more active, #eft-chat is almost always active to some degree. you can find people to play with in #pvp-lfg the WIKI is your number 1 source of ACCURATE information. any task, any item, any system, you can search it on the wiki and it will be explained in detail.

if things get really challenging and you need help it’s not a bad idea to get in contact with a sherpa!

im pretty sure tarkov has a system whenever you go hella geard in a lobby you come ppl who r also kinda geard whenever i wear a tagilla mask or altyn i swear i instantly die to ppl playing w lapua AP or igolnik cuz wdym you playing w a sniper w lapua in it ON FUCKING FACTORY

[scarlet compass]

To do psycho sniper most likely

[latent prairie]

i played factory so many times without an altyn im just upset i couldnt get ANY pvp and instantly got sniped and lost my val mod 4 only have 3 of them :/

[scarlet compass]

Rip

[fiery moat]

nah, not such system. my last factory raid i had killa helmet and zabralo and mcx with 300 blackout ap rounds(doing secured perimeter) killed 2 dudes inside factory, one of them literally had mosin with fmj rounds(84dmg 36 pen) the other had a stock aks(just a bad reflex sight, nothing else) with bp rounds and paca

like, how are they even supposed to be able to kill me

maybe the aks guy could kill me with bp if he hit on top of my helmet with class 4

[graceful tree]

anyone have any tips on getting thru labyrinth? been getting kinda stonewalled on tagilla and killa in there. They dont seem to get blacked out limbs. Ive been using RIP shotgun rounds straight to their legs. The damage report after i get killed is normally in the 4k damage to the body with 1k or so absorbed by armor.

[glass viper]

Using mutant in arena rn, but finding it kind of underwhelming tbh. Any other suggestions?

[woeful spruce]

The way everyone does it is accumulate enough high penetration rounds, think m995, 545 bs mai ap etc and spray both of them in the face penning their masks. Shadow of tagilla himself has 3x the hp of a player so using leg meta is gonna be quite tough

[shrewd python]

ak12, hk, mcx, mp7

[bleak tiger]

Vss or any other 9x39

[graceful tree]

do they have some kinda modifier where they dont get blacked out limbs or bleeds? the RIP shotgun rounds do 265 damage with a 40% chance to bleed. I mean couple of legs shots "should" black them out. I've killed them both with the vector and RIP rounds holding a good angle on a doorway with leg shots. I havent gotten that same spawn again with the shotgun.

[bleak tiger]

Shotguns are a big no no unless it’s saiga automatic

[woeful spruce]

Do you mean make him slow and limping? Im oretty sure they have like perma painkiller efects, regular killa and tagilla too

I dont think shotgun is the way here either smg with flesh ammo or high pen rifle i wouldnt bother with anything else

[graceful tree]

yes, thats what i was using

[graceful tree]

yeah, things like that. i didnt know they had that built in. also do they have the same possibility of dying when they lose a limb?

[silver karma]

I have been using the 31k AK level 1 skier sells, the only change I made is swapping the original 10 round mags for 20 round mags. I just died and realize these mags cost almost 4x times the 10 round ones and I am wondering if the smaller ones are enough? I am trying to keep my kit as cheap as possible so I can run small raids in ground zero and build back my stash

My kit currently costs about 160k

The gun is vpo136 vepr km

[latent prairie]

where can you find virtexs th quickest

[woeful spruce]

The 20s are worth it in my opinion you have a decent chance of finding 30 rounders in raid, collect and use those whenever you get a chance

[tidal lagoon]

10 rounds are fine if u are using just semi instead of auto, which will heavily drop ur chances of surviving a fight and costing u more in the long run

[lunar mist]

reserve

[woeful spruce]

Probably labs and labirynth. But i usually find mine on lighthouse while i do all the bullshit tasks over there

Theres a couple spawns around the upper chalet and tons in water treatment

[latent prairie]

fk it im just crafting them lol

i need 3 more kappa items anyway i can wait :p

need bakeazy axe and a beard

[lunar mist]

I got stuck on cyborg tape for liek 2 weeks

[woeful spruce]

I always find tons of axes, unlucky for you

Hope you get them

[latent prairie]

if i never sold my items i would have kappa probvably

i use to sell it in the beginnin

its my first wipe so idk what to keep etc

ijust started tryharding for kappa and im almost done

wdym find?

[tidal lagoon]

or do it through the website

[lunar mist]

like how many attemps etc

[orchid seal]

I did but no response

[latent prairie]

i did psycho in 3 matches on ground zero

5 kills 5 headshots

[tidal lagoon]

not really anything someone here can do

[latent prairie]

ground zero spawns are very close to eachother

you can just wait for them to push

[lunar mist]

damn you must be pretty good at the game, for your firstwipe to

[latent prairie]

i do all my kills task there like punisher etc...

[lunar mist]

I like customs for that stuff'

[latent prairie]

i have background of only shooters tbh and i come from a game where sniper was the main gun

[latent prairie]

yea same ground zero is just quicker

i did tha svds 15 kills in like 6 matches

got 4 kills in 1 raid its like very easy to get kills there

[lunar mist]

fair, I suck but make up for it with game sense

[latent prairie]

im trying to get it before my teamate who has 1500 hours

i only have 680 or so

first wipe so thats aight id say

[lunar mist]

I only just done kappa and this is my 5th wipe, I think I over extimated its difficulty, wasnt that hard once you commit to it

yes, ground zero is probably the best map if you want common,basic loot items

[fiery moat]

wanna play rn?

[glass viper]

What the fuck is up with this ref questline

its complete RNG if i win 3 matches or lose 4, no matter how well I play the arena matchj

and then you gotta waste a mill for each try to make it even more stupid

[fiery moat]

managed to do it first try with 3 win 3 loss, had to sweat my ahh off even though i was finishing like 35-10 or 27-13 on checkpoint, it just depends on ur team

u can use some help on lfg, i can help you if u need

[lunar mist]

you need a decent team and play team fight, you need comms

[glass viper]

first try I had 2 wins then 4 complete curbstomp losses

[glass viper]

Yeah so 100% rng like I said

the arena discord is dead

In 100+ matches the only coms I have heard are sorry for tk and random noises

[lunar mist]

what, 100% not rng, if you find a team with comms lmao

[fiery moat]

i had 2 losses, then 2 wins, then on my 3rd win people disconnected and the match was aborted(everyone can leave without penalty and match doesnt count) so i had to play again, 3rd loss, then thank god i won

[glass viper]

the team is 100% rng when there is slim to no chance of finding a premade, the discord is dead

[lunar mist]

ahh your probably just so late that quest

[fiery moat]

if ur EU i can help you, i have 11 winstreak on checkpoint right now, but i cannot guarantee you a win or carry, just a help

[lunar mist]

yeh if you literally can't find a tea,,. I suppose if noone esle needs it then people probs aint gonna spend a fair bit of time for no gain

[glass viper]

just paid another mill now and first match is someone leaving in 2 minutes:D

[glass viper]

Yeah im Eu, probably from the same country as you judging by the nick

[lunar mist]

is that quest for the bigger case?

[fiery moat]

how many millions you paid in total?

[fiery moat]

theta container questline

this is the hardest task for theta

[lunar mist]

yeh I did that right at the beggining when my entire team was playing, would suck trying now

[fiery moat]

i did it a few months ago, figured out it was easier+better than grinding punisher questline, i left punisher at part 4 and started playing arena

tbh i completed the entire taskline fully solo and first try, but it doesnt happen to everyone

[lunar mist]

i like the case, best under kappa

and I already had gamma

[fiery moat]

35 dollars for arena, the xp benefit from arena and a very good case, i love arena(the game itself too, but also the benefits)

it helped me alot bc i had alpha

2x2

alpha can only fit a docs case, a stim case and key tool or goldenstar

[lunar mist]

Yeh I like the benafits but playing it sometimes sucks, mainly load times and some map designs stink

[fiery moat]

bowl is the best map, then equator, then that one map with construction site and boxes, and the plane map is also good

[lunar mist]

yeh bowl is great

[fiery moat]

i hated the dorms map the most, that one map based around normal game's dorms

[lunar mist]

the newer 3 maps kinda suck, dying of spawn etc

[fiery moat]

the emercom base on woods and smugglers base on shoreline, they were also bad but not as much as dorms

[lunar mist]

yeh

[fiery moat]

oh also, lega medals from arena...

the thicc cases

the ammo that u can buy(expensive but still possible)

[glass viper]

I like arena but I just want to get it over with at this point. every checkpoint match my team seems to just hold angles and let the points tick away....

[fiery moat]

u can literally buy m855a1, 44 pen ammo, or m61, 60 pen ammo, they cost a good price but u can still buy them up to a limit

[fiery moat]

in every single arena match i defend an entire point alone vs 3 or even 4 dudes yet i see my teammates just give up on the other 2 points, especially holding bowl C site

had a 13 kill streak against 3 dudes on bowl c site, that means enemy team was only 2 ppl on 2 sites in total, my mates cannot take sites 4v2????

ran out of ammo and died after a while

[tepid arrow]

I don’t imagine many people pay attention to the kill feed in checkpoint or put much strategic thought into what they do, just tactical

[tepid arrow]

My favorite was gate? The test map they had a little while back

That shit was so fun

[fiery moat]

yea that was also good but A and C sites were so hard to capture

one team would hold a other would hold c

everyone would fight for b

bc the a and c were next to spawns and map was big so u had to travel the entire map but people could spawn next to the checkpoint and kill u

[shrewd python]

fuck air pit

bowl is a rat map
not too bad on BG

[silver karma]

Is something going on with the servers? I had a raid where i was getting massive packet loss and every few seconds my character would jump back a few steps

never happened before

i don't know how i made it out

[shrewd python]

cheap servers

[silver karma]

so does this just happen? i was lucky it happened on a scav run otherwise if i died i would have uninstalled on the spot

[tidal lagoon]

not often but it happens, sometimes the server u are on jsut shits itself

[silver karma]

are there servers that are usually more reliable? from the launcher I selected every server available to reduce match time

[glass viper]

wanna do a couple checkpoints now?

[tidal lagoon]

what country are u n

or continent

[silver karma]

I live in Dubai

[fiery moat]

yeah that might explain, european servers almost never do that

[tidal lagoon]

i wouldnt imagine much difference, but on eu it barely happens

but still here and there shit happens is what it is

[fiery moat]

ok gimme a minute

[silver karma]

no but I am not on dubai server

i selected them all

should i select "use automatic server selection" instead?

[shrewd python]

def not

select all EU servers you can play on

that's your best bet

[tidal lagoon]

lot of people say its shit i use it without issue most the time

[shrewd python]

every time I try it it works fine until it puts me on some SEA server that I DC from

[fiery moat]

play on servers with less than 200 ping. i sometimes even play on nigeria or NA east with absolutely zero issues

except EU West i never experience server issues

for some reason eu west is just cursed for me i think, if not for everyone

50 ping but holy packet loss

[tidal lagoon]

no matter what server u choose tho u should have the expectation that at some point the server will get fucked and u will lose ur gear

will be very rare but u play long enough itll happen

[fiery moat]

only happened to me once in 800 raids

and that one time was in eu west where it just kept disconnecting me over and over and over and over everytime i tried to log back in

had to go MIA bc i couldnt move a step before getting disconnected

[silver karma]

It's as if everything about this game was made to make you suffer, even the backend

i love it

[lunar mist]

[smoky wing]

How do u increase performance in tarkov? its fucking abysmal

is it seriously how yall play?

or is there some "hack" iam missing

[inner isle]

Dlss/fsr usually, otherwise it Is a heavy game

[smoky wing]

its not "heavy" if it refuses to use more than 30% of my pc lol

like whenever game decides to actually use my system the FPS is fine

[subtle crag]

Go to Task Manager 'n give the process "High Priority"

[smoky wing]

does little to elevate the problem tbh, FPS still jumps a lot

[subtle crag]

Then can't really help you. Personally I have no problems but then again I have a top-of-the-line rig.

Tarkov can sometimes act up even on lower end of high tier rigs

[smoky wing]

what rig do you have and what fps do you get?

on average

[fiery moat]

do you lose your trader progress and quests when u prestige?
