[frozen gyro]

yea but fck labs

[scenic lake]

labs are great

good pvp

[frozen gyro]

yea but i need to avoid pvp as much as i can. so i dont wnt to get near there'

[scenic lake]

why do you need to avoid it?

if you are bad at pvp and you are avoiding it all the time you will never get better at it

if you dont like pvp in this game, play pve

pvp is like half of the game

[lunar mist]

Spear is the goat

[scenic lake]

is this on pve?

[lunar mist]

Me?

[scenic lake]

you

[lunar mist]

No pvp

[scenic lake]

okie okie

those pmc names just look like from pve lol

[lunar mist]

Yeh they played like bots tbf first wipes I think'

[scenic lake]

sometimes it just do be like that

maybe they had a bad day

or maybe they just suck

[hidden seal]

no you do not. You need to avoid PVP in conditions that are disadvantageous to you

like yeah.. avoid any 2v1, avoid suepr close quarters if you have subpar reflexes

but find conditions you can engage

[scenic lake]

you cant run forever

[frozen gyro]

ive been tryin to find those conditions for 1200 hours XD. only conditions if i can get a clean one tap on someone standing still that doesnt know im there xd

[lunar mist]

1 st guy I was far so he had no chance, he stood still to snipe, 2nd guy tryna snipe me so I pushed him, 3rd ran through a field from verons, so he stupid considering there had been so much noise lol

[hidden seal]

so learn to create that condition

[lunar mist]

play some arena, losened me right up

[scenic lake]

well then you have to get better at pvp so you win more often
and the only way to do it is to seek out pvp

[frozen gyro]

harder then it seems i feel xd most peopel strafe

[hidden seal]

well continue to avoid factory if you have that condition. I also do that. I prefer woods

[frozen gyro]

on woods i just get sniped or ambushed

[tawdry sinew]

hey guys I just got back into the game again, anyone wanna play? LVL 1 havent done a raid yet

[frozen gyro]

its hard to get better when you get atomized near instantly xd

[scenic lake]

yeah because you suck at pvp, and you avoid it so you will never get better

its really quite shrimple

[hidden seal]

it is even harder when you do not play

[lunar mist]

I would swop to pve or play a shit load of arena my guy, but you sound like you like to complain and then nothing to improve so

[scenic lake]

yeah switiching to pve is a valid option if you are too bad at pvp and dont want to get better for some reson

[lunar mist]

pve actually made me better tbf

[frozen gyro]

i want to get better. i am just unironically unable to it seems XD. or it goes so slow that ill need 7k hours before i can beat someone

its not like ive been afk t posing in spawns for 1200 hours

[scenic lake]

you have to push yourself to be better

it works both irl and in game

go for fights you wouldnt normally go for

will you die alot at first? yeah ofc

but you will get better

and you will start to enjoy this game more

[hidden seal]

might soudn cliché, but if you keep repeatign you cannto do it, you really will be unable

[lunar mist]

push every fight, swing or be swung, clip your deaths and see what went wrong, and REVIEW YOUR SETTINGS, most people overlook the last part, is your mouse sense to high or to low, etc etc

[hidden seal]

I still have 0.25 K:D

[scenic lake]

do you know the definition of insanity?

[hidden seal]

but that does not stop me trying

[scenic lake]

what lvl are you and how many raids? im courious

[hidden seal]

beleivign any govenrment wants the best for you?

[scenic lake]

no

its doing the same fucking shit, over and over again, and expecting a difrrent result

[frozen gyro]

i was gonna quote that but held back

[frozen gyro]

yea i just expected to see. any sort of improvement at all over genuinly trying few hundred/1k hours

arena also really aint much better XD

[lunar mist]

took me 4k hrs to be as confident as I am, and a lot of arena

[frozen gyro]

arena makes me even less confident if thats possible

[lunar mist]

if your around tomorrow I can watch you see if I can figure out what the issue is

[frozen gyro]

everthing XD. game sense. aim. positioning. hearing. reaction time. confidence

[hidden seal]

and if you think you are bad.. my K:D ratio in arena is 0.07

[frozen gyro]

alr i will admit mine is higher cus i sometimes find a cheese spot

[lunar mist]

I can take you through some stuff now if you want

[frozen gyro]

meh i feel aiming and stuff will do themselves. i just gotta exist long enough to train those Xd. in arena there is some chance to train aim, but in arena you also have infinite pog ammo

i gues i need more videos on how to peek properly and triangulate people their grid coordinates somehow

[lunar mist]

I can go through some stuff with you rn if you want

last offer

[hidden seal]

imho, spawn cheap witha semi cheap rifle like an OKS. Do nto thin on winnign fights think on learnign the positionign and detection until you can hit enemies before they hit you

even if you die after that

[hidden seal]

@frozen gyro you should accept it

[frozen gyro]

atm honeslty gonna finish this arena match/grindfest then ima head off and head to bed before i loose it completely

[lunar mist]

Well I offered

[frozen gyro]

i know ty for that. if it wasnt this late and i hadnt been in a meatgrinder for a while i wouldve gladly accepted

[lunar mist]

no worries

[frozen gyro]

i got put into a maatch with gigasweats again that know your exact grid coordinates at all times Xd so first peek i do every round i instantly get deleted

[hidden seal]

I also evolve slow. My biggest advance is that know I feel I am about to die correctly about 3 secodns before I die 😛

without many false flags

[hidden seal]

I never ever killed anyone in arena that did not had its back or side to me

but my ping is 170 in arena.. harms much more than in EFT

[frozen gyro]

same wich is hard in teamfight when the enemy has every concievable and inconcievable angle covered or prefired

[hidden seal]

no they do not .. that is in your imagination

they can have only 5 angles covered since there are only 5 enemies

[frozen gyro]

i know but 10/10 times every angle i attempt one of the same 2 guys was there and instant one tapped me

[hidden seal]

so try something very different

or follow someone and see what they do

[frozen gyro]

they got the reaction time to sometimes kill one of em first

[hidden seal]

That said I am horrible at arena. I just did playa bit to complete early quests but I have no chance of enabling service to move money from arena to EFT

[frozen gyro]

if there is anything i dont have to wory about this "wipe" its money

[hidden seal]

well I am short of

died 12 times this weekend with 1 extract only dropped my wallet badly

[frozen gyro]

yea no i have the same

i then jusst give up on pmc for a day or 2 and do only scav runs

and make back more then i lost usualy

(or a full week)

[hidden seal]

I find scav too boring to do more than 2 times in a row

[frozen gyro]

i fully agree. but atleast there i can see what a "survive" screen looks like and what it feels like to get out with dcent loot XD

98% of questitems/ stash/ hideout i got purely by scavruns

[hidden seal]

my EFT finances woudl be sovled if I coudl complete to greater heights part 3

[dim relic]

do last hero till u get it unless yoy get a team

and scav reserve and hit the marked rooms

[hidden seal]

is this a bug? All my dailed ende dup beign the same. Everyoen wants me to eliminate sanitar

[hidden seal]

zero chance of me ever succeedign in last hero. Seriously

as I wrote above, my K:D ratio is under 0.1

[dim relic]

I thought the same tbh

checkpoint will work if u get tm8s that need to win instead of kills

[stark relic]

is there a reason to use the b-25u foregrip over the rk-2 or se-5?

[indigo crypt]

K/D 0.11 >> I feel you bro!

I'm really struggling to clear the PvP tasks. My SR with about 46% is also ok... Scavs and bosses are fine.. but I'm afraid of other players 😂

(lvl41, 600 hrs)

[grand pelican]

I'd argue it makes the recoil and hipfire feel different, but objectively its worse than the stat meta options. If you like how the hipfire is with the b-25u then it's a good option

[kindred grotto]

drip

[vagrant lava]

does anyone use the arctics 7+, if so can i use your settings

[south finch]

any 1 know how to increase fps on low end pc??

[long gyro]

trying to do gunsmith part 4 but i need the rest of the ergo, but its redded out for some reason

[rancid magnet]

anyone know why my game keeps crashing and giving me the unity error? every time i start up

[glass viper]

Tryin to get the factory office kills done but its just instant head eyes every single time

I have 1 kill there from some guy camping with a mosin, then just full geared people every time

[next nimbus]

yeah most people that still play pvp are people who are expereinced and been playing since wipe

it sucks but thats the way it is because most of the casual playerbase doesnt play pvp

[glass viper]

What some cheap cqb wep I can spam to eventually get the kills there? Im almost 35

[next nimbus]

you should have the svt unlocked

that thing is the rat blaster

[glass viper]

Alright will give that one a try, guess I just patrol the floors or camp a stair

camping upstairs has not been working well

[next nimbus]

yeah i like sitting in second floor bathroom

and waiting for a fight and flank one side

[heavy aurora]

I have a bug where my gun keeps shooting when I ADS does anyone know how to fix this?

[gritty rock]

Does anybody have any tips I have 16 hours and not enough money to heal myself as well as no loot and low Scav karma, how can I rise up again

[glass viper]

No reason to have low karma at that point, I would just reset account tbh

[gritty rock]

How?

[glass viper]

Go to their website and you can reset for free, its a 3 week cooldown tho

[gritty rock]

I’m deep in the story tho you sure it’s worth it

[glass viper]

i can pick bear/usc again and get everything u started with

not sure how deep you can be in 16 hours, but probably best to just wait it out then, gonna be long between sessions tho without hideout upgrades or anything

[heavy aurora]

I have a bug where my gun keeps shooting when I ADS does anyone know how to fix this?

[gritty rock]

I’ve just unlocked woods and stuff but I think I would just lose all my shit again because I’m so Ass

[dim isle]

To do main task to unlock maps should I go in with bad gear and just pray?

[next nimbus]

where are you at with the story

[next nimbus]

you dont need to get a survival status, as long as you get a run through it will count as surviving on the task

[timber cairn]

Do you have any guns?

[gritty rock]

Nope

[brisk remnant]

Anyone willing to help me out with fence quest? cant find any nice player scavs

[real cloud]

Check to make sure you don't have a duplicate key binding for ADS and firing

[peak sable]

have they fixed loading into a scav raid with a duo kick fix?

[brisk remnant]

im not sure, didnt know it was a thing until now. Ill look into it

[peak sable]

they did not it just happend

[brisk remnant]

thank you

[timber cairn]

How low is crazy low scav karma?

[heavy aurora]

Nah I don’t I even reset everything and it still does it randomly during a raid

[red marlin]

id say -10~

[red marlin]

are you PVP?

[gritty rock]

Yeah

[gritty rock]

Well I have negative 20 on fence

[red marlin]

kinda a rat strat and doesn't work but you can do scavving in a group of 4 or 5

[red marlin]

what.

[gritty rock]

I was replying to the other guy

[red marlin]

i know. but like.. -20 is insane for 16 hours of gameplay ;-;

[gritty rock]

Yeah well I killed like 4 player scavs on factory bc I can’t tell the difference between pmc and player scav

[red marlin]

;-;

well, to be honest, if your not that far in the game i'd reset your account

in my own opinion scav rep matters alot on pvp

[gritty rock]

I’m pretty far into the story

I’ll get it up

[red marlin]

tour?

[gritty rock]

Yeah I’m almost done with it and I unlocked the next part

[red marlin]

reset your account

[gritty rock]

Okay how?

[red marlin]

tour isn't too hard to redo

[gritty rock]

For me it is😭✌️

I lost everything in like 2 days

[red marlin]

in the launcher you can, it will reset everthing, your stash, character, levels, T levels, you'll start from the tutorial

[gritty rock]

I might but I don’t wanna lose everything I again and just be square one

I don’t think you understand how ass I am

[red marlin]

im complete ass

thats why i play both

your really should

if you have "nothing" and NEGATIVE 20 FENCE REP... you shuld

[wild vapor]

Any advice on completeing the last step of Tour questline? I've used 3 lab keycards and havnt found any of the rooms lol, die before I can. It's also just really hard to find where I am on my map because its my first 3 raids on labs.

[rocky rose]

Is there a way to keep the wishlist in the order it wants to load into? its organized by type on the wishlist as it loads, but when it finishes loading it just goes alphabetically

[hardy nova]

@gritty rock u wana roll together as noobs ? Haha.
I can help you with quest and u help me
If yeah add me and we can play in few hours

[ivory mica]

Anyone know why partisan would kill me 2 minutes after I killed him in the same raid. Then I spawn in as a scav and immediately die to him again

[gritty rock]

Yeah but I can play tmr tho I’m going to bed I got school

[rare palm]

so, ive got a question....

[quasi flame]

if ur calok has one use u can repair it to 3

[rare palm]

Ohh oki thx

[quasi flame]

np :D

[glass viper]

Getting kills on custom dressed as a scav is not fun

[open iron]

setup?

[glass viper]

ytes

yes

[open iron]

use mp-18 if you´re not already doin it

and smack a scope on

[glass viper]

Single shot?! why? im trying mp-153 now

[open iron]

you can use it a sniper

[digital crag]

bruh ive been tryna find tagilla for my last kill 3 days and when im fighting him my wifi disconnects

he was healing i was gonna f him up and wifi boom

now he wont spawn and i wont do the quest in time bet

[glass viper]

Will try it next, not sure what shotgun ammo to stick to either. Bought up the piranha stock so I guess its slug or buckshot

[open iron]

for me it, just make the quest alot more fun with the mp-18, your effective range goes from 0-10 m to around 150-200 m

[glass viper]

Will give it a shot now, what ammo do you use?

Only way to get this shotty to work on custom is to spawn by dorms or camping the gas station exctract, gets old fast

[open iron]

i used fmj i believe

[violet karma]

is it better to use ap or hp rounds for testdrive pt 2

[violet karma]

i camped the vex side of dorms so when people use thte stairs or vex i can just blast their legs with piranha

[open iron]

HP ? for mp5?

[violet karma]

yea

[glass viper]

what scope?

[open iron]

whatever you like, i used a vudu (and spector if i ran out of vudu/razer/tango)

there is a barter for spector scope if you wanna keep it budget friendly

took me 15 raids in the building next to stronghold (top floor)

[glass viper]

Goonna give it a try

if I can jsut get there

btw I keep having problems with the pick grenade/healing function, like holding to scroll, half the time when I play the pick menu fades out after a millisecond so its impossible to actually pick a grenade or what to heal without menu

anyone know a solution? always showing hotkeys does not help

[open iron]

never heard of that issue

i killed a guy a streamer actually and he had full time and i didnt

[hallow iris]

how come i cant finish gun smith part 8

i got all the stuff on the AK but No

[bleak tiger]

If you don't extract within 10min it will still count as extract

#eft-announcements message

[latent prairie]

it will be mia no ?

[hallow iris]

@latent prairie there was a update and it made raids 10min

[bleak tiger]

No

[latent prairie]

so now all riad are 10 minutes ? or

raids*

[bleak tiger]

No

[hallow iris]

not sure

[latent prairie]

what it depend on ?

[bleak tiger]

#eft-announcements message

[hallow iris]

I just told him that allready haha

[latent prairie]

my trust issues too high imma still think its gonna stop after the 10 minute mark XD

[waxen sedge]

anyone wanna play

[inner isle]

Im seein theres these, sealed weapon cases you can get on i think reserve, is that still a thing or?

[glass viper]

the only reaon you would get in a 10min raid as a pmc is server udpate, in that case you can loot freely and get extract wherever you are.

[grand maple]

i just got a key worth 5 mil on flea, any way to sell it before reaching lv 35, im lv 15

[inner isle]

I mean, if its a good one could jus use it

Otherwise not Really as i think with traders its way less if u Can even sell it

[grand maple]

its the RB-BK marked room key

[inner isle]

Someone else will, have to say if they've gotten good stuff from it or not, ive never done it before But marked rooms are Usually pretty good, easy aswell if its in PvE

[lunar mist]

100% just use it, shove value stuff in ass

[shrewd python]

if you play reserve save it

[grand maple]

ok thx guess ill just do some runns with it

[shrewd python]

You can get the other two reserve marked keys (VO and PKPM), and if you use all 3 down to 1/10 uses, you can trade them for a full dorms marked key

big profit that way

[bleak tiger]

Sealed weapon cases?

[inner isle]

yep those ones

i saw sum videos of people getting some from reserve from, airdrops and dead bodies and they seemed to have Rly good loot, one even had 2 mgls with a bunch of ammo

[bleak tiger]

That was smuggler event

Emphasis on was. It’s not in the game

[inner isle]

aw, damn alr

[frozen gyro]

what should i shove in the cultist circle for possible stonks?

[astral glen]

??circle

[red thistle]

The cheapest confirmed circle recipes are all from Peacekeeper, here they are listed per trader level.
LL1 - 5 mp5's
LL2 - 2 MPX Suppressed #eft-chat message
LL3 - Flea dependent - G28 barter #eft-chat message (1 labs card)
LL4 - THOR IC armor⁠ #eft-chat message (1 sas drive) <- Prompts a 12 hour circle as per the soft armour price changes - do not use.

[frozen gyro]

cultist thing in hideout

[astral glen]

Yeah I know… read

[frozen gyro]

i know im reading as we speak

[astral glen]

I wasn’t asking you a question, I sent a command to send you the items you asked for

[frozen gyro]

ooooohh XD oops

my bad sorry

yike. can reserve people please go to the bunkers instead of ratting above ground in a random room the whole raid XD

alr givin up on customs qquests again XD. still getting smoked by level 50 peopel that are just camping random bushes or getting paranoid and stuck

[kindred parcel]

whenever i go to download this for the free weekend it says i must repair it and when that finishes nothing happens?

[glass viper]

I have this weird graphics around my weapons/hands at times, like blurry image, mostly at night raids, but it can be really bad and make it very hard to see things while sprinting

I for the life of me cant figure out what settings are causing it

[grand pelican]

do you have DLSS or FSR on?

I know sometimes those ai frame generators/upscalers make movement blurry

[vagrant lava]

Does anyone have the gunsmith part 25 gun that I may have?

[vagrant lava]

Does this cause like a weapon shadow when I move the gun around? Like if I’m just looking straight and wave my gun around it looks as if there is a after image for a split second

[grand pelican]

yeah its called ghosting I think, its almost always from dlss or some sort of upscaler

try a different dlss preset, K is the best afaik

or just use no upscaler with TAA high anti aliasing

[glass viper]

DLSS is off so thats not it

TAA high but anti aliasing does not seem to make it happen

[glass viper]

I am struggling a lot with this, I guess its ghosting. Its alright in day raids but at night raids it becomes really bad

[grand pelican]

assuming you have an nvidia card, open your nvidia app, go to graphics then tarkov and make sure you dont have smooth motion or dlss on

[glass viper]

I do have smooth motion on, I guess thats it

[dim relic]

motion blur?

[vagrant lava]

Did turning that off fix the ghosting for you?

[glass viper]

Nevermind smooth motion is off

so thats not it either

[glass viper]

Im not sure to call if ghosting or motion blur but its like an aura around my hands/weapon

that gets really bad when sprinting especially at night raids

[dim relic]

is it your postfx settings?

[glass viper]

I dont use postfx

[dim relic]

oh yeah idk could be graphics but I havent paid attention to my hands

[glass viper]

I dont really pay attention to the hands either but it gets really bad so that it affects the middle of the screen even

but it clearly originates from the hands/weapon somehow

[dim relic]

oh

if reset your graphics to default then fix them

[glass viper]

Using a ryzen 7 9800x3d 8core and 5080s so its annoying

[grand pelican]

yeah try turning that off and run a raid

[dim relic]

yeah I have a 5090 idk what my cpu id but it sucked fixing everything

[glass viper]

its not on. But it seems to really only be a thing at night which is weird

[proper ibex]

its Smooth Motion

[proper ibex]

same specs but I got a 5070

[glass viper]

Smooth motion is set to Global - Off

[proper ibex]

yee

[glass viper]

Off now

[proper ibex]

but you can override it personally in tarkov settings

[proper ibex]

[crimson badger]

Is anyone willing to help me run through woods to find the plane to unlock jaeger?

[shrewd fog]

are the gunsmiths bugged or something?

part 3 specifically

disregard am restarted

[glass viper]

This 100% fixed it thanks a bunch

Is there any benefit to playing with nvgoogles opposed to just cranking up gamma?

[compact oasis]

is kappa loot good to sacrifice to cultists?

[tender vortex]

I need help, I'm very noob to this game.

[fiery moat]

no matter how good your settings are, you still need nvg in really dark maps to actually see very well

go woods fully night time, that gamma does not help you as much as you think it does

[glass viper]

Yeah woods is what I usually nighttime, I spot better with my gamma/contrast than with most googles

[fiery moat]

help with what

[fiery moat]

i also use brightness and gamma settings for labyrinth and dark spots around most maps but i still bring either the armasight n-15 or the gpnvg-3 because both of them are like 60k

i tried to hunt cultists without nvg at 2 am, terrible mistake

died without seeing them

[glass viper]

Yeah but the thing is I find them pretty bad with the high gamma so would have to constantly adjust then

or just go in with nvg and default gamma

[fiery moat]

just tone it down a little bit then. i comfortably use nvg and gamma at the same time, if i tune it up too much then the sky feels like a flashbang in daytime raids

[tender vortex]

More like guide, I'm completely new.

[fiery moat]

sure,what u need to know?

u can join beginners zone 12

[marble herald]

Call me scuzy scum, but is their a way to drop an extra docs and injectors case to a buddy and him keep it? I know it has to have the FIR to stay in his inventory. Trying to figure out the loophole

If there is one

[fiery moat]

i dont think there is, keep hitting marked rooms and hope he finds them. afaik most if not all cases can spawn in marked rooms. those 2 cases u mentioned can also be acquired from 14h cultist circles i think

[marble herald]

Both those came from the marked room on streets so that’s correct. Not a big deal just was trying to help him out. Thanks

[fiery moat]

docs case is far more easier to get than an injector case tbh, both bc of barter and the level requirement for injector case

[marble herald]

Well he just went from PvP to pve so that’s the limiter. He’s climbing quick, just can’t play all the time to really skyrocket levels

Like ballpark 10-15 raids a week if that

[tender vortex]

Mmmh

[burnt elm]

i just did a scav raid got a bunch of shit then i see an error message and everything is gone from my stash after i spent 10 minutes playing tetris lmao

[hidden seal]

the best you can do is help him farm lions and cats

[dim meadow]

Hey everyone. I have a friend trying to do "to great heights - part 4" on Arena. Any elite players feel like helping him out?

[next nimbus]

??arena

[pulsar pulsar]

i need 1 more bear dogtag i can let yu hit my marked rooms for 1 bear kill

[glass viper]

Realizing how utterly insane the desync is in this game day by day

[silver karma]

Does using a transit count as extracting for the purpose of tasks?

[glass viper]

no

[silver karma]

sadge

Is Press Pass valuable or should I vendor it?

[fiery moat]

just sell it

its one of the streamer items that is required for kappa. i assume ur not close to kappa, as you'd need to be over thousands of hours

[glass viper]

Is the thicc weapon case worth it? Can afford one thicc and one thicc wep case now, but not sure about the weapon one

just seems like regular weapons cases are better tbh

[next nimbus]

uh not really

[glass viper]

yeah does not seem cost effective

might find one sometime

[next nimbus]

it is but using normal thicc case has a wc is more cost effective

[next nimbus]

cant find thicc cases

only buy them or quest reward

[silver karma]

Can you change region in eft arena? I am getting 250 ping and getting kicked out of matches

ok yes in the settings nevermind

ok even in eu region i am getting kicked, i guess i am not playing arena

[lunar mist]

Yes but not for hand in quests, as you'd still need to extract the next map to get the item out

[atomic frost]

honestly, I just use Big backpacks for guns, not yet unlocked ammo, or wp cases, so. I've started using 3x3 chest rigs, for ammo, to have a small feeling of organized system. and BP for guns etc.

[glass viper]

Yeah anything works really

is it not possible to put wep cases inside any other type of case?

I thought they would go inside item cases but apparently not

[ancient thorn]

how is the bullet drop/velocity on the marlin, can i use is like a proper bolt action in lighthouse ?

[lunar mist]

You can add these containers into a thicc but not a weapons thicc

[glass viper]

bro why would u need that much food

5 whole ass fridges in that thicc

[lunar mist]

Crafts

fill and sell

[glass viper]

ahh

[glass viper]

have yet to make brewery just keep finding moonshine

[lunar mist]

and I have a spare for excess crafts

Good craft management =

elite hideout management gives you double crafts in a bunch of areas

[glass viper]

Do u wanna share your main inventory screen? how u keep em cases arranged

trying to figure mine out now, I just got two thicc's so figuring it all out

[glass viper]

nice do u keep em all at the top?

[lunar mist]

The top shot is at the bottom of my stash, then thiccs on top of that

all at bottom

[glass viper]

ahh alright, yeah I have everything at top but figured it might be a bit much scrolling that way

better to be able to offload all raid items top

[lunar mist]

I dont notice it, keeping at the bottom allows me to dump loot but it works either way round, just preference

I find its stop me scrolling as much as I dont haver to scroll past my cases to sell loot

and when I do a craft sell, I quick click it all onto my sorting table then close the table and its moves into the top of my stash to be sold

[tidal lagoon]

u can page up and down to skip to top and bottom of stash btw

[agile roost]

yow i am looking for website with metabuilds there was one with all guns neatly organized plus having different build like for ergo and such i cant find it anyoneknows any like that?

[austere otter]

at what point do you get max flea slots

[glass viper]

nice did not know

[lunar mist]

Good tip

[lunar mist]

Given it all just changed, I'd be surprised if they've updated all the guns

[glass viper]

This "friend among stranger quest" is really annoying, it pops up as failed whenever i kill a scav, and since I have unheard edition I dont ever really plan on doing that quest. Will I just have to deal with the popup forever?

does not really seem to be a way to abandon a task either

[lunar mist]

Just wait until the guide and psycho sniper and shooter part 8

[ancient thorn]

how is the bullet drop/velocity on the marlin, can i use is like a proper bolt action in lighthouse ?

[fiery moat]

i dont recommend using marlin on long ranges

so many times i perfectly lined up a shot at someone's eyes and it didnt even hit any part of their body when they were standing still

never had this issue with a normal bolt action

[ancient thorn]

do multiple bosses on location have any correlation between each other spawning ? like tagilla and killa on inter

or their spawnrates are separate

or kaban and kollontay on streets

[tidal lagoon]

no

[ancient thorn]

so separate spawn rates ?

[tidal lagoon]

yea

1 can spawn, none can spawn or both

[inner isle]

Whats the best places to farm for hideout parts? Small but alot like bolts, energy lamps etc

[ancient thorn]

dope, thx

[tidal lagoon]

if u want something safe and chill id take the btr to train depot on woods

shoreline smuggler base is good too

[inner isle]

Its on PvE so tbh safety isnt too much a concern

[tiny dew]

i got lots of stuff on ground zero underground, theres a lot of tech crates

[tidal lagoon]

reserve underground bunker with the 4 keys

[ancient thorn]

there might be a 1000 awnsers to this question, i liek scaving the new area on customs, with all 3 buildings you loot like 25+ toolboxes

whenever i need a rlly specific hideout item i just do this run and end up finding it

[tiny dew]

yeah customs is very good too

[inner isle]

Honestly i'll take these answers over dumb ones like "anywhere jus play the game"

[ancient thorn]

these 3 spots

youll find a looot of toolboxes

a lot of duffle bags too, those are always good

[inner isle]

anyone looking to help out a new player or any other new players want to play? NA west

[broken minnow]

anyone wanna help with my tasks im new

[glass viper]

Is there any point in doing the friend among stranger questline when you already have the unheard device?

[shrewd python]

xp i guess

[glass viper]

So i have pinpointed the bug that prevents picking grenade/healing/mags

It happenes whenever I have been into the hideout, seems quite common. A quick restart fixes it for me, so not that bad. But I like going into hideout a lot so im still looking around if there is a cause or fix

[cinder coral]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[tiny dew]

my stash looks like its filled with a bunch of random bullshit, i dont want to play tetris in it anymore. im level 11, very early quests. can someone tell me what i can safely sell off to make space?

[tidal lagoon]

get urself a scav junkbox from therapist

u could sell ur ram sticks theyre good money

should get u enough for a box

[tiny dew]

alright i'll see if i can scrape to get it

got it, much better now, thank you!

[humble flicker]

[silver karma]

Is there a solution to these random packet losses? The game is frustrating enough as it is without the game randomnly teleporting me back 5 feet when it feels like it

[dusky bobcat]

still my biggest issue trying to figure out if a player is a scav or pmc smh

[weary sky]

pmc usually look cammed up and kinda cool while scavs look homeless

[silver karma]

My pmc most certaintly looks homeless

[silver karma]

I think they make a different walking sound, like scavs will drag their feet on the ground

Hard to explain

[lunar mist]

Good drip?

[pale kernel]

in this free weekend of arena, what should i be aiming for to get (do i even have time to get something good for my main account?)

[slow linden]

okay

Np

[slow linden]

Tan Man comes back (kinda)

[candid drift]

Can anybody help me run streets i need to learn the map and get some loot but i aint rynaa play ina 5 man

[west portal]

is cqcm better than a t4 helmet with no face protection? no death shadow and everything

[crimson thicket]

Probably not, now that it's t3

[thorn ivy]

Are you running scav?
Then proceed with caution
If ur pmc and ur solo shoot anything that moves and think of anything as an actual threat, even tho scavs aren’t really most of the time

[fiery moat]

scavs are still a threat, just a small one

remember they can black out your limbs or even kill you with a headshot

they get more accurate the longer you are in a combat with them, and also the biggest threat of a scav is to reveal your position to other players

getting hit by 2 grizzly slugs back to back is gonna freak you out btw, ima also say that

[tidal lagoon]

@brave forge ur message is too long. extra 16gigs of ramwould help overall, but its not the main issue and its really just the game itself, i get it too and it started after a update a while ago

[fiery moat]

are cultists 12% or 2% on night factory

and do they even have a chance to spawn when tagilla exists or only after hes dead

[brave forge]

Ty I was abt to tweak

[dusky bobcat]

could anyone confirm that?

[dusky bobcat]

helpful, ty broski

[thorn ivy]

Yes, PMC’s move like players
Scavs move “scripted”
They also have a ‘shuffle’ sound when they turn around, pmc’s make it as well but people care for it and don’t turn quick

Try it out, turn around quickly, the shuffle sounds you make is what a scav usually makes. PMCs rarely make that noice

[thorn ivy]

Which is why i usually prefer solo
I also play like a bitch but that aside
Playing solo is just “shoot anything that moves”

[dusky bobcat]

yeah same, as pmc i never run always stay in cover and hope for the best

[cinder shadow]

Hello, I have been playing tarkov solo for almost all my time on this game but I was wondering is it worth it going from solo do duo or should I stay solo as a beginner?

[crimson thicket]

solo is good for building confidence and forcing yourself to learn maps. if youre gonna start playing with a duo i'd recommend someone experienced rather than someone new

theres a lot to learn from someone experienced, things you wont learn yourself by just playing the game

[shrewd python]

playing with a group of about 1-2 other people is best
when you get to 4-5 man teams it gets very very hard to stay coordinated and that can be frustrating

[cinder shadow]

I wanna start playing with someone but I feel like I haven’t gone past the confidence part yet because I always hesitate so I probably should just continue solo no?

[fickle sigil]

Quick question, is exp on my scavs persistent? Like if I am leveling skills do they carry over to the next raid?

[storm bolt]

why is this combo possible? altyn + death shadow?

[crimson thicket]

well i think solo confidence is different than duo confidence in a way. playing with a duo you get 2x the information. you have someone else to hear sounds, see things that you might have missed, and it changes your options in pvp as well

[midnight ingot]

yes

you can technically level your scav to elite strength or something stupid im pretty sure lol

maybe with scav life dlc they will expand on it

[cinder shadow]

Well I was thinking about the option of getting someone as well to learn the game with and stuff but I don’t know i only have something like 140 hours total so maybe I should stick to playing solo until I get the hang of not hesitating, what do you think?

[crimson thicket]

Hey dawg, you play the game how you wanna play it. True confidence in pvp probably won't come for a long time. The thing people like to say is the first 1000 hours are the tutorial, kinda true. An experienced duo will be able to show you loot spots, map flow, help in pvp fights, alert you to bosses and guards and stuff etc.
A good teaching duo can help the process along substantially

[cinder shadow]

Understood, thank you very much I appreciate it, I hope your tarkov journey goes well.

[light stag]

solo is good

it’s fun to play with people but can lead to you not fully being confident imo

solo makes u not rely on anyone and actually learn the game at a pace you wanna play instead of playing around someone else too

it’s more punishing but it’s way more rewarding playing as a solo

[shrewd python]

Lemme know if you want to try running a few

[cinder shadow]

Ok

[short bay]

Question for solo players. HOW do you overcome the fear of going solo in terms of always thinking some is gonna ambush you or looking your way etc, especially if you want to loot.

[cinder shadow]

I’m not a highly skilled solo player but a lot of my raids are solo, if you know the place you’re going to be in is a little big like the mall on interchange sometimes people don’t spend a lot of time looting it’s more of a you get their backpack and rig and search their pockets and search the backpack and the rig in a safe place.

As for looking your way it’s mostly just places where it’s common people are gonna be there mostly not all the time.

[crimson thicket]

Part of this is kind of knowing player spawns, who can be where and when, that sort of thing. And audio is your friend. Other than that, just hope you get lucky and don't get popped sticking your head into a container

[lilac hare]

i play solo a lot, but its literally just taking your time and honestly losing is improving, basically welcome to tarkov lol

[misty sequoia]

anybody willing to help me with zabralo quest?

[violet karma]

is chemical part 4 the best choice?

[bleak tiger]

Therapist

[full dagger]

man having some extreme difficulties on lighthouse getting this suitcase. i got it once, and then got sniped from literally nowhere in the head.

eeverybody rushes the spawns so its hard to do much

[tiny dew]

how do i tell if ammo is good just by looking at it like this? does it just come with experience when you know what each ammo type looks like? or is there some common thing i can notice on all "decent" ammo?

[woeful spruce]

yea, thats true. but after all the spawns are rushed the map gets dead as hell. so the trick for you could be to sit in a bush, hide in a corner for a bit and after people shoot eachother, run around and extract, then you go for it and have a chill experience

[bleak tiger]

this is m80

And yes comes with experience

[woeful spruce]

its mostly experience but bullets with black tips usually are armor penetrating, though theres notable exceptions like 556 warmage lol

[midnight ingot]

both, like after enough experience i know that the worse 7.62x51 rounds are kinda gray shell casings, compared to m80+ where they are yellow, plus lots of the rounds have different color tips or distinct tips that can help even further to differentiate

[tiny dew]

yeah i cant tell 😅

[midnight ingot]

m993?

its black tipped

[tiny dew]

i see

thanks for the answers guys

i guess just unloading 1 and inspecting will be good enough for now

[bleak tiger]

Yes the pic was so small the tip blended with the mag lol

[full dagger]

it doesnt really matter. seems i run into someone that "knows" and sits and waits for you for 10 minutes when youre 300 meters out, or someone comes out of nowhere and blasts your head off. i switched to woods to get some quests done, not much better there either. ive lost 2m in gear today just basically playing main menu simulator and its getting kind of bs

[full dagger]

just seems no matter how slow/fast i play everybody hits 100% accuracy and one bullet to the head every time. cant walk, cant run, cant crab walk, cant sniff my fingers without someone magically knowing where im at.

[woeful spruce]

sometimes there are days like that, sometimes you just gotta call it quits for the day and come back another time and suddenly its all better

the game can sometimes be just raid after raid constant bullshit

[full dagger]

nah its realyl bad tbh when you somehow get founded when youre SLOW walking on woods.

cant even play the game.

[woeful spruce]

idk man i do get frustrated like that sometimes but what youre describing isnt whats happening to me on most days

[full dagger]

yeah. cant evne play the game. between walking around not even running on woods and someone coming across a mountain i just visually cleared, and sniping my head off, and the non stop ui bugs ive been having i dont even know anymore at this point.

im sitting at high settings 300 fps dialed in game settings and somehow, i cant see the guy sitting right in front of a truck that somehow saw me when walking behind obstacles waiting for me for 10 minutes and immediatley shooting at me when i peak. this game is something else.

this is all happening on woods btw. big map.

[silver karma]

Any suggestions on how to do the Introduction quest? i tried 10 times - in 5 raids the plane was camped by a sniper, in 4 raids I found the note but got killed on my way to extract, on the other raid I think I got killed while trying to find the plane

[full dagger]

good luck. woods is no good tonight i dont know if its cheaters or what but its really bad.

[silver karma]

I just got killed by someone with 6819 hours while in ground zero at level 7. I think it's safe to say the matchmaking rule about being matched with new players only is bullshit? Besides time in game, this guy spammed me with like 7 grenades and had full armor and kitted gun while I only have access to shitty bb guns

[bleak tiger]

Welcome to Tarkov

[silver karma]

I am just at awe at the number of hours. That's like 10 months of in game time

Who are these people?

[bleak tiger]

There are people with 20k+ hours

[silver karma]

I mean I am happy with the learning curve and all but realistically what am I supposed to do to improve? I learned about penetration and realized all the ammo I have access to is literally useless unless I hit their head (this guy had a helmet so realistically the face) or spam their legs

[full dagger]

my honest opinion. find people to play with man. this game is shit solo

[silver karma]

I just feel like every encounter I get is certain death no matter what I do

[full dagger]

i just shot someone in a duo 3 times in the upper chest with 3 m80s and he was just hurt.

[silver karma]

Even scavs man. A scav earlier tanked 14 shots from my AK

It feels like I am playing destiny 2 bruh

[full dagger]

its still that way for me too. been playing 3 weeks, and its literally impossible to play. i cant look everywhere every split second. and it doesnt seem like people miss very often. whoever i just fought was the most fair fight ive had all day, usually people just one tap me in the head and its game over.

[full dagger]

i cant even do quests because theres either campers, cheaters, or people that somehow see you through a bunch of bushes and trees perfectly

ive been stuck at level 20 for about 3 days now/.

lost 2.4m in gear today

[silver karma]

Here I thought it would get easier at level 15 with the flea market lol

[fiery moat]

i went to that plane a lot of times for falling skies questline and never had an issue. are you sure the plane itself was camped bc that plane is not even a point of interest

dont go from obvious spots you probably died on your way to the plane bc i dont think people are that unemployed to camp a plane with no loot

[dusty aurora]

anyona wanna play some duo or something? im level 17 and playing solo doesnt feel really like it for me

[next nimbus]

its not bullshit its based on level for ground zero

has nothing to do with hours or stats

if you are below level 20 you get put in below level 20 lobbies and vice versa

[coral canyon]

why do goon plate carriers sell for nothing on flea is it just worthless other than the plates

[scenic lake]

do they have soft armor?

if they dont, without plates they are just normal rigs

[coral canyon]

ah is that how it works?

how useful is soft armor anyway, what does it do?

[scenic lake]

extra layer of armor, if something pens the first level (plate) it will still pen the soft armour, but soft armor can cover parts that cannot be cover by plates

for example neck hitbox

all of the meta armours cover neck hitbox with class 3 soft armour which minimalizes the risk of dying by a random low pen bullet

[coral canyon]

so its not like side plates? its just a layer of armor beneath the main front and back plates?

[scenic lake]

yes, but also somethimes on the neck/groin/shoulders or combinations of them

you cannot remove or upgrade soft armour parts, and the highest tier of them is class 3

[coral canyon]

damn alright, thanks for the info

[silver karma]

I finally found a mp133 shotgun, can anyone tell me how to put a laser on it? Knowing I only have level 1 traders and no jaeger nor peacekeeper

is it even possible without flea market?

[vivid hawk]

Yes, Use the traders.

[fiery moat]

are you fking serious

i could get ledx, defib, literally anything worth so much from 6 hour circle, but i got THIS. this is the second 6 hour that gives me stuff for textile part 1 lmao

[lunar mist]

goated cultist

[fiery moat]

they deadass just ripped their own robes and put them in the circle and went home naked

they are bored after taking a billion g28's with the same attachments

[worthy fjord]

yo wth whenever i try to buy arena it says its 25 dollars cuz of the discount but whenever i go to check out it shoots up to 40 dollars, why is that?

[tidal lagoon]

vat and other fees prolly, although 40 does sound a bit too much

mine would be 34

[worthy fjord]

dont you notice that your base price isnt even the discount?? the discount says 25 dollars but 37 euro is 43 dollars? and it does the same for me

what the hell is happening

the discount doesnt get applied at the checkout

[silver karma]

Guys what method do you use to track which hideout items you should keep vs sell? The ingame system is not useful because it keeps tracking the item even though I have enough of it, so I have to manually go through each station and uncheck the ones I have the amount needed. However there may be a station that needs 1 metal parts and another that needs 5, so I need to uncheck it when I look at the first station and check it again when I look at the second station. It's a mess and I am sure I am doing it wrong

[tidal lagoon]

send a screenshot of the same i sent

[tidal lagoon]

u can prolly find some site that can help u keep track, I just collect almost everything i could need and put it into junkboxes

[worthy fjord]

okay now its different but still 32 euro doesnt equal 25 dollars? its still 37?

i dont understand ts

am i stupid

[tidal lagoon]

37 is the base price for EU edition

after u press purchase u should get this screen to select ur region

[worthy fjord]

man what the helly

just cuz im from the eu i have to pay 15 dollars more?

[tidal lagoon]

yea

[digital rock]

How do i unlock the ability to transfer items from arena to pvp ?
is it thru the arena ref quests?

[tidal lagoon]

well i think its rather that people form other regions pay less

[tidal lagoon]

yes great heights part 3

[digital rock]

ahaaa thanks

Damn arena is so overpowered for xp

[tidal lagoon]

yea its pretty crazy especially now with the new questline too

getting cases early from ref with gp coins is the main attraction imo

[lunar mist]

lmao

[fiery moat]

the quests with events and the weekly quests, yeah. normal dailies and match xp? no.

iirc u get like 3.5k-4.5k xp per arena match

thats like, same xp you'd get if you killed a few scavs in the game and extracted

killing bosses or pmc's, using transit and extracting would give you more xp in one raid than you'd have in 20 arena matches

[shrewd python]

That's an exaggeration

Especially if you do some dailies

[fiery moat]

.

i had a raid where i got 130k xp

20 arena matches would be less than 80k

[shrewd python]

I had a daily that gave me 80k exp

in arena

took like 4 minutes

[fiery moat]

daily quest in arena with 80k? yea i dont believe that. my hardest weekly ever gave me 78k

my current dailies give around 2.5k to 3.4k xp

[shrewd python]

give me a sec]

[shrewd python]

also this is quite the low end, if you get a bunch of kills and MvP and your first win 2x bonus I can get 10-15k exp in a 10 min game, no dailies

[fiery moat]

btw i was never talking about quests, normal matches.

[fiery moat]

10k xp in a 10 min game? which mode

even the checkpoint modes that i got like 40 kills on doesnt give me that much

[shrewd python]

here's a random daily that gives a bunch

[fiery moat]

are u nikitas favorite boy or smth wtf is that

[shrewd python]

Last Hero, get plenty of kills, and get the 2x first win bonus

[fiery moat]

i did all of my dailies today and they gave like 20k xp total

[shrewd python]

Yes

No I'm probably just a higher level than you
But even if you get low-tier dailies, you can def get 10k+ exp per 10 min match if you farm your 2x first win bonus and MvP bonus

[shrewd python]

Actually we can run a challenge if you want
I'll run arena for like an hour and you run normal tarkov for an hour and we'll see the EXP difference at the end. No quests, no dailies

I've done that race for the level 15 grind at wipe start
Guy playing normal tarkov took like 6 hours, took me about 3 in arena

[hidden seal]

i cantveven complete for great heights 3 🙁

[fiery moat]

1 hour, isnt it like between 4 to 6 arena matches depending on the mode. no quests too? are u sure that it will give you more than 120k with ur hardest grind

my last raid was 3 minutes in factory. 2 pmcs, tagilla, extract. 13k xp. i dont think u can earn 13k in 3 mins

and thats on factory with no transit, only one boss

[shrewd python]

Are you sure you can get 120k in an hour? Hour after hour?
One of the nice things about arena is it's consistent. To get a crazy high exp raid like you described you need to risk dying at any point throughout, which wastes a ton of exp and time.
So I might not be able to beat your best ever raid exp, but I'll maintain higher exp/hour rate than you

[fiery moat]

arena is less riskier but u also have to admit it gives less, way less without quests

and add all the matches where one guy disconnects, or it takes more than 15 mins matchmaking, the match gets cancelled after the first or second round etc.

[shrewd python]

I mean that only happens on TF or BG

If I was farming exp I wouldn't play those

[fiery moat]

i once had a daily quest that i needed to kill 27 headshots, i got 26, wanted one more match. just one more. it took me 4 hours 27 minutes

4 hours and 27 minutes of not being able to hand over a quest with 1 kill

[shrewd python]

Okay yea that's a crazy anecdote, doesn't really mean a damn thing

Crazy shit happens in normal tarkov plenty

[fiery moat]

10 min matching, cancelled,"high priority queue" another 10 mins, get into a match, someone disconnects and everyone leaves, go back into matching, now its 13 minutes, someone doesnt accept the fking ready up section, wait for another 6.5 mins, go in, actually play one round and complete the quest, then after the round ends, one dude disconnects again and everyone leaves the match again, and you know what happened in the next hours.

[shrewd python]

Yea that's kinda crazy
My matching has been pretty universally instant, and when not instant it takes like 3 min

But hey, all I said is we could race

[fiery moat]

never ever i had any less than 6 minutes, which servers u have? i only have EU

[shrewd python]

Yea I only do NA

[fiery moat]

and i kid u not it never took me longer than 2 minutes to get into a raid(not find a match, just straight up get inside and start moving, 2 mins after clicking the play button) so its crazy in comparison

[shrewd python]

Yea the matchmaking in normal eft has been kickass fast recently

[fiery moat]

played 7 hours today instead of usual 2.5 hours, i dont think i want to play even one more match thats why i stick to chatting here

7 hours no cultists

kill a pmc, die to the other one, rinse and repeat

its been my 5th day of searching for cultists

[shrewd python]

Probably earned less exp than you would have if you'd played arena for that time lol

[fiery moat]

found them only once and died to them 2 tap to thorax without seeing or hearing anything

[fiery moat]

dude i wanna escape rn idc about having 5 more xp in the span of 20 hour playtime or smth

price of independence and "they are already here" chapter is all i need for savior

price of independence will be way easier than finding priest

since its based on my gameplay not luck

[shrewd python]

Sure thing, but if you ever want to put the exp gain rate to the test so you can know for sure, let me know

[fiery moat]

completed all other chapters(except handing over items to lightkeeper for batya) and about to unlock lightkeeper, but havent managed to kill a priest yet

[fiery moat]

probably not until i manage to escape, only got high xp runs when i was spamming labyrinth both for story and for cofdms

got 74k, 56k(didnt kill any boss),120k and 88k runs (though i also killed people in shoreline transit before going to labyrinth in some of them)

[shrewd python]

Full faith in you, arena takes some time and practice to get good at, just like base game

Just get in a 5 man team and spam cpt on your best map, let the team go for the caps and you just try to go for kills, it'll happen pretty quick

[hidden seal]

i think my main problem is ..my biological ping ( being close to 50 yearls old) combined eith the real ping of 150+

[shrewd python]

Just get neurolink in your brain and starlink for better wifi
elon musk solves all your problems ez

[silver karma]

Besides the matchmaking I do not understand arena at all, like I tried a couple of free for all matches and it felt like two games mashed together with no coesion. A quick game of cod in the gameplay that however expects me to track bleeds fractures and stuff? I found myself just trying to kill as many as possible before bleeding out

[fiery moat]

you are supposed to make your own kits and use meds. get a morphine, put it in auto use, and get ahf1m or zagustin to use whenever theres a bleeding. you can refill them in ammo boxes too along with your own ammo

[shrewd python]

trim instead of morphine if you can afford it, gives you infinite stamina as well as pk effect which is nice
and if you use zag throw it on auto use, prevents bleeds for the whole round

[fiery moat]

not if u survive more than 3 minutes

which is possible in checkpoint

[foggy ibex]

where to report

teamkillers

[silver karma]

Is there any way of getting a compass in this game? I was so close to finally doing Introduction but realized I had the map upside down in my head and I starved to death

[bleak tiger]

Not really

[weary sky]

compass useless

just learn map

[coral canyon]

whens my first "useful" ammo rn im just living off bartering BT from tushonka

also is there any other way of getting BT at a cheaper price (besides scavenging it)

[hidden seal]

good ammo is mostly looted

[coral canyon]

aint no way bruh how am i gonna realistically get my hands on shit like m80 or 7.62x39pp in bulk

i'll be on aks for the rest of my life

[hidden seal]

looting

there are places that have a good probability of spawn

[coral canyon]

yo drop those locations please

[hidden seal]

although m80 I think peacekeeper sells it

at level 3 or 4

[coral canyon]

still a bummer tho bringing in good ammo enough for 3 mags or so and then you get dropped without firing a single shot

[hidden seal]

all aroudn reserve for soviet ammo

[coral canyon]

thats why i prefer purchaseable if possible so at least i can reliably stockpile on it

[hidden seal]

I do nto brign 3 mags full of the good ammo. bring 1 plus 15 spare and 2 ok OK ish ammo

[coral canyon]

when i mean good not like igolnik im talking m80 or PP nothing crazy

[hidden seal]

yes ,the ok ammo is usually sold at trade4rs l4

the top ammo usually is only loot

some ammo can be produced on workbench level 3

[coral canyon]

🥀 power level to 4 it is then

[hidden seal]

jsut scav on reserve

you can look 100-200 per scav run

[coral canyon]

ppl eat those up ive been hitting usec camp on interchange and finding a modest amount of ammo tho

that one near oli*

[silver karma]

yes you're right I will use the tree as a landmark

[coral canyon]

a lot more landmarks to work with besides trees but if thats what youre comfortable with then go ahead

[hidden seal]

in fact you learn to use tree density and hills on woods

comapss is mostly worthless

may help you figure wher eyou are in the first 3-4 raids

after that you learn to recognize things

[silver karma]

i am just joking, i know there are more and i just need to learn them

[hexed willow]

yo

i have a 10/10 dorms marked trading for ammo

[marsh marlin]

Why is my energy dropping faster than water? Is it intentional?

[valid raptor]

It's always been like that I think

[chilly dagger]

is the vida edition killa mask rare or nah

[ancient thorn]

1 wf = 1 super water ?

[noble wave]

drains water filter to create it in said time you have to put new filter if it disappears

[ancient thorn]

1 water filter makes one super water ?

[crimson thicket]

1 and change. And they take less time to craft as you level hideout skills so eventually you'll get 2 for one filter

[ancient thorn]

dope

so its always worth it to leave a water filter there running

[digital crag]

hi anyone can help me? my aim keybind sometimes resets like i was mid gun fight and realised the shoot button wasnt on

[crimson thicket]

Yeah probably. Moonshine crafts a little faster than a super water as well

[shrewd python]

do you want aim to be toggle or hold?

[hot ravine]

I have everything correct but i cant turn it in for gun smith part 18 any help? i just tripple checked everything is black

[shrewd python]

wrong pistol grip

[hot ravine]

got it :3

[dry folio]

wrong chat mb

[glass viper]

So apparently this obodolbos injector was supposed to be good for getting scav kill on stims. Nah it killed me the second I used it? at full hp with full hunger and thirst

I knew it had varios random side effects but instant death? why would anyone reccomend that

[scenic lake]

its 50/50 to either get great stats or die instantly

[fleet charm]

Gambling is fun

[glass viper]

Yeah I duno about that one guess I will drink hot rods instead

[hidden seal]

the odds are better 25% death chance

[scenic lake]

they must have changed it then

still, gambah

[hidden seal]

yes..

too risky gamble

25% I would not even eat a bad apple 😛

[burnt elm]

is there a better way to report a player than in-game when you die pressing "report suspicious profile"?

[vagrant lava]

Does prestige reset ref and arena

[cinder shadow]

Is arena worth buying or should I stick to regular tarkov?

[solar moon]

salut je cherche des qc qui serais down de faire des raind pour maider avec des quest

[tidal lagoon]

obdolbos 2, not obdolbos

[vague orchid]

did they buff ES lamps?

spawn rate that is

[tidal lagoon]

unlikely

[next cradle]

lvl 57 looking to task/help/kill dm me

[fathom whale]

Why do i keep getting the same 2 spawns on every map

[next nimbus]

spawns are based on who loads first

so you are either the fastest loading player or one of the slowest consistantly

[fathom whale]

bro

[shrewd python]

just use meldonin

lasts 10 minutes and doesn't have near as bad side effects as either obdolbos

[fathom whale]

How tf do i touch the dorms bro

i've literally tried everything including coming in 7 minutes left on a night raid and i still get my shit domed

[hollow dagger]

i only have the 2x2 alpha case, what should i be running?

[shrewd python]

medkit, pks, splint, and money for the car are usually what to start with, swap stuff out if you find better in raid

[shrewd python]

wait for a dorms spawn and rush it

or just wait for a raid where the bulk of the action is coming from elsewhere

usually it's pretty safe when shit is poppin off at panda/stronghold

[fathom whale]

Ye but i dont get spawns other than the far side towards the reserve transit or the bushes near crackhouse

Its been like 9 raids now

[shrewd python]

If you don't get dorms spawn, wait like 5-8 min for the initial rushers to clear out. Listen for shots, you want to wait till dorms has been quiet for a little. Or if you hear shots at dorms, try to listen for that gun elsewhere, suggesting it moved off. If you don't hear anything at dorms and stuff is poppin off elsewhere, good odds it's safe

[fathom whale]

Should i try night raids

[shrewd python]

You could, usually better odds of slipping past people. But also better odds of rats. Day raids are usually a bit more predictable for me but if day isn't working night is always worth a try

[vagrant lava]

What stims do you run in your case for what

[fickle sigil]

if it helps

[glass viper]

Does "The survivalist path. Cold blooded" actually lead to anything at all? wondering if I should bother focusing it or just let it happen passively

the wiki shows no but could be part of some chains with severals I dunno

[crimson thicket]

Just follow wiki. If it says no then it doesn't

Quests with multiple proceeding quests will have "leads to" even if others need to be completed to unlock them.

[crimson badger]

anyone want to run a wood raid with me so i can unlock jeager

Im struggling to survive and fine the plane

[glass viper]

What is a sus KD now? now that its changed

[crimson thicket]

Really hard to say. Cheaters typically tank stats. If someone's got like a 5-6+ at over 500 raids they're either crazy good or cheating

[shrewd python]

2 prop for PK and healing - most used stim fs
2 zag for bleeds
etg for emergency full heal
sj6 and trim for infinite stamina
obd 2 or mule for when real heavy

[shrewd python]

When do you ever have use for sj1, l1, or meldonin?

[silver karma]

Hi - I have been watching a bunch of Pestily stream just to see how a veteran plays this game and the main thing that surprised me is the way he moved around the map. I usually crawl around, sprinting only when I have to traverse open areas, but since he zooms around everywhere and only stops when he hears a noise makes me think I am doing it wrong? Has anyone made a guide on moving around? The only movement guides I could find were about peaking and movement tricks not much so general traversing

[fickle sigil]

extra stam and strength to hal heavy shit out mostly

[frozen gyro]

any tips for level 20+ ground zero?

also wich of these could i get rid off? or should i just buy a second key case

[next nimbus]

really depends where you are at with quests

[frozen gyro]

not far xD

[next nimbus]

i would just go through every key on the wiki and see what you need

just at a glance a lot of these are needed for quests

[frozen gyro]

but i have done the golden zibbo and aquarius

[random sand]

Keep keycards and factory key, dorm 214, 114, 110, 105 and gdesk, w104, w219, oli log, kiba, rb-psp 1-2 and rb-psv 1-2 , rb-orb 1-3, rb-smp and rb-ksm, rb-st, ultra med, rb-rlsa, or, and rb-pkpts

The rest can be sold to threapist

[frozen gyro]

arent the medical keys also pretty decent?

[next nimbus]

which ones are you talking about

[frozen gyro]

ultra med for instance

[bleak tiger]

He mentioned it

[frozen gyro]

oh oops xD

i swear i can read

i thought i had the other interchange medical asswell but mustve misremembered

[bleak tiger]

Necrus pharmacy and Emercom medical unit

[frozen gyro]

i thought i had the emercom one. probs had it on a scav run and died with it

also have these but im too scared to attempt to use em

[next nimbus]

the good stuff you get from marked keys can be shoved up your ass

beside cases

the valuble stuff is mainly keycards or smaller items like a ledx

rusted is different though because you need to have it in your inventory

[frozen gyro]

Yeaa with rusted im scared to not even get to the door

With the others I know for a fact im not making it out alive xd

[tough bough]

Ummm hi guys i want to ask
If a friend dan give you a lab access carrd to go to the terra lab and do the tour quest am stuck in thiss quest for song long am lv 23 rn xd

[tidal lagoon]

no it cant be dropped in raid

go to streets or reserve and start searching all the filing cabinets you will find one

[tough bough]

[hollow dagger]

how the HECK do i uninstall arena 😭 is there no uninstall button anymore? i swear there was somewhere

[tidal lagoon]

the uninstaller is in the files, press game setting then browse local files and u will find it

[hollow dagger]

ohh ok thank you

[coral canyon]

anyone know where i can find m856a1 or m855a1? anything class 4 minimum for 5.56x39 honestly since its all locked behind PEACEKEEPER 4

[lament zealot]

m856a1 and m855a1 are 5.56x45.
5.56x39 doesnt exist.
5.56x45 or 5.45x39

but your only option is to find dem in raid

[tidal lagoon]

red room or residential on labs, terragroup armory key on streets, train depot & attachment shack on woods although u find mostly 545 and other eastern calibers there

[coral canyon]

oops i mixed up the name with 5.45x39, but yes 5.56x45!

[coral canyon]

how possible is it to even run 556 if all your ammo has to be FIR until PK4

[lament zealot]

no worrys, my head do the same some times 😄

[tidal lagoon]

i mean its kinda shitif u dont have m856a1 atleast

especially at this point in wipe

[lament zealot]

there is shitty .223 ammo for leg meta or scavs

[tidal lagoon]

like id probably just run 545 bp cuz thats easy to find or like 762nato bcp

[lament zealot]

m856a1 is not enaugth at this point of wipe

[coral canyon]

is that why everyone just runs that one meta gun cause its 5.45 but HK level of fire rate

[tidal lagoon]

yea

[coral canyon]

unfortunately iirc that gun is a few hundred thousand on flea though?

[tidal lagoon]

the gun doesnt need much modding tho

[coral canyon]

you got any alternative suggestions? im in the early 20 brackets being lvl 22 so i can use slightly better weapons now

[tidal lagoon]

iirc u just put a muzzle, grip, sight and ure good

for 545?

[coral canyon]

that being said i guess im locked to 545 cause its the only good ammo i have

[coral canyon]

any

[lament zealot]

the roof of the baracks on reserve is very good to find 545 bp/bs/bt

[tidal lagoon]

ak12 is good, i like the aks74u but its not that great range, could also run an sr25 or smt with bcp fmj

do u have a stock of any good ammo?

i usually choose gun based on what ammo i have

[coral canyon]

bcp fmj is kinda ehh...

mostly BT and BP 5.45

[coral canyon]

noted 📝

[tidal lagoon]

its 37 pen with high damage

[coral canyon]

ye ive been running it alot recently just wondering if theres any alternatives so i can switch it up a bit

ak every raid does get stale

oh youre referring to bcp

[tidal lagoon]

yea

sometimes i run 9x39 spp early game

but its kinda mid rn and close range

[coral canyon]

i mean bcp has similar stats to bt for a HUGE bullet so thats why im not impressed

[tidal lagoon]

ye but u can buy it

more range focused

[coral canyon]

fair fair, my jaeger is at level 1 rn but i can level it to 2 if i just spend more money on him but tbh most his wares suck

[tidal lagoon]

buy shit from him and sell it back to another trader

[coral canyon]

lamo alright then

[vagrant lava]

which 762 ak would be best to build from?

[tiny dew]

rd 704

maybe

ak 103?

idk other options

[vagrant lava]

is there a channel i can see builds for all calibers

[hardy nova]

Solo 3v1 😄 one guy was lvl 50+ customs,im proud of myself i managed to handle 2 guys sometime depends what gun i got but 3v1 damn 😄 im happy hah

[agile zephyr]

Can someone help me with getting the letter on woods for jeager I've managed to get the letter everytime but can't extract since I just get picked off by someone with a 10x better kit

[frozen gyro]

any advice on questing on ground zero after level 20?

[median oxide]

be better than everyone else or get teammates

anyone EU needs help PVP or PVE I'm free

[glass viper]

Whats the best place to find powrr supplies? Tons of computers on the top floors of ground zero, but I bet there are better spots I dont know

[tidal lagoon]

interchange or streets

[tame cedar]

Without going to labs it's probably GZ, or streets ye

Idk GZ for me usually gives good results

[frozen gyro]

the first one aint happening XD

and another death on customs Xd still unable to get near big red

[cloud plume]

Hello! First time here. Level 41 working on Kappa. Need help with Stray Dogs PVE. Any help?

[tame cedar]

Go into local customs, locals usually has a better chance for bosses

[cloud plume]

@tame cedar I've been running night customs and rushing to stronghold. No luck

[tame cedar]

Check around stronghold and crackhouse

Goons spawn at crackhouse and tend to wander a bit Westward near the exoskeleton of the buildings

[cloud plume]

I'll run one now and see what we get

[tame cedar]

Yep

[frozen gyro]

who would win. a semi auto shotgun with pirana. or a bolt action rifle at point blank. obviously the bolt action cus they just headeyes hipfire you instantly Xd

[cloud plume]

no dice

[frozen gyro]

today again died every raid without sstanding any chance

and making 0 progress in quessts aaa

[weary sky]

git gud

[honest thunder]

anytime i change a slider in the settings it automatically adjust itself to the minimum setting, even after saving, changing values in the file, and deleting the settings folder and letting it reset itself

[graceful rampart]

I think you just need to figure out what’s getting you killed, either you aren’t trusting your instincts, or you need to ignore your instincts and think logically

I haven’t even seen a pmc visually in my last 6 raids

[frozen gyro]

whenever i try either its usually the oposite XD. and then some prestige with several k hours thanos snaps me

[frozen gyro]

havent thought of that yet. ill try

[weary sky]

aight no offense to you but every time i happily get on my pc and discord automatically loads up eft offical my day is automatically ruined by your whining about being bad

have you tried getting someone to teach you?

[graceful rampart]

Then I think you just need faith, this game some things are just out of your control

[weary sky]

this exactly

[frozen gyro]

alr sorry. ima stop talking or ima leave server

[weary sky]

no dont get me wrong i hate the game sometimes too but take initiative and apply for either the sherpa program or get someone to team with you

even better take a look at arena for learning pvp

??sherpa

[red thistle]

Sherpas are players who help beginners study the main game features and improve their skills to survive the harsh Tarkov environment. This difficult and honorable task falls on the shoulders of the most friendly, patient, and, of course, experienced Tarkov citizens.

Sherpas are volunteers who dedicate their time not only by teaching others but also studying Tarkov themselves, adding to their knowledge of the game. Selfless aid to new players greatly contributes to the growth of the Escape from Tarkov community.
When teaching beginners, Sherpas rely on their preferences in the game: location, weapons, equipment, tactical moves, and their unique gaming experience.

[vagrant lava]

can i join someone that is doing dragnet task?

[random sand]

Just buy the keycard, use it and then resell it

[frozen gyro]

been playing arena. but it isnt a comparable experience

[weary sky]

ehhh it is kinda

recoil patterns and gunplay

but yeah i get you its not the same circumstances

[graceful rampart]

What time do you usually play utc?

[frozen gyro]

this time and a little later usually. sometimes up to 6 hours earlier if i dont have a work shift that day

[frozen gyro]

i mean ye. but in there you have reliable ammo and they dont shrug off a entire magdump

and players act more predictable

[silver karma]

I think I am done with ground zero tasks and I am level 10. Should I stay here until 15 or learn a new map? My main worry is wanting to get the flea market to get ammo that does not take 15 shots to kill a person

[tidal lagoon]

ure not getting good ammo at lvl 15

if u know the general layout of the map id get on customs or woods and learn that assuming uve unlocked them, if not then start progressin Tour

[neat pewter]

because i already got it after killing a chad on my first raid

[tidal lagoon]

[neat pewter]

[humble eagle]

learn the maps fs, play offline mode to learn them if you have to

[slim sky]

Arena for learning shooting

but learning pathing and timing will get you way further

[coral canyon]

does anyone know when to buy large tushonka whenever i check its always 20-25k its crazy

a man needs his BT

[frozen gyro]

i gues

[frozen gyro]

really trying. but it never seems to match up. even on the theoretical most empty areas, at the most dead times i still run into someone

[slim sky]

yeah things never go the way you expect

[frozen gyro]

yup so the whole "learn routes and times" doesnt seem to do much. all i know is that certain areas are certain death. but i should expect anyone, anywhere at any time. like there are guaranteed gonna be people at dorms even in the last 5 minuits. or someone camping the "safest route"

[hollow dagger]

which post fx settings take a impact fps? or at least the most?

[chrome crown]

how can I get the streamer item case? is it still possible to get it via gifting subs?

[light stag]

no fence has a quest for it

[glass viper]

I ran downstairs in dorms third story to get away from a duo, as soon as I opened a door downstairs I instantly died?

Death screen just gave me my own name

[chrome crown]

trip wire?

[frozen gyro]

holy after more then a week i finally got that folder out. now i just gotta get it into factory somehow

side note. how does the "cursed" mechanic work nowadays? scavs seem really angry at me from miles away last few raids

[astral glen]

Same way it’s worked for years

If you don’t have a firearm and a rig or bag you are tagged and cursed

[frozen gyro]

alr then im just trippin xd

[glass viper]

I just got a grenade kill with my setup getup on, but it does not count? ;_;

ony kills with the setup weapon?...

[cloud niche]

Ive been trying to complete delivery from the past for a while and I keep dying on the factory portion. I am level 27, ik its really late to be doing this quest lol. Could anyone help sometime? (I have just over 200 hrs so dm me if youre interested)

[frozen gyro]

im afriad so. just the mp shotgun and rifle

[frozen gyro]

yeaaa i just got the folder out of customs finally after over a week. im terrified to go to factory Xd

[cloud niche]

I have tried 4 times omg. I got my world rocked by tagilla and then all the chads destroy me lol

[glass viper]

just had the weirdest experience, approeched a pmc as scav on ground zero, soon as I come up the stars he turns away and slow walks letting me 2 tap him

maybe it was some kind of bot player

but weird thing is he is lvl 15, I thought you were gated at ground zero at low lvl, but i am 36

[frozen gyro]

thats been me on factory so far aswell. so to then head in with a quest item that took me over a week to get XD scary

[glass viper]

Also my post summary screen says "Boss assistance" ?, didnt know there were any bosses on gz. All I did was kill a pmc as scav

[cloud niche]

Never heard of that, maybe its a bug

[frozen gyro]

i genuinly dont understand why people still camp dorms n stuff in the last 5 mins of the raid

[tiny dew]

funny

[humble eagle]

people are too scared to move during the raid and wait for the last 10 minutes to finally move around

[grand maple]

why tf do i spawn at the same place every time, i have spawned on road to custom on shore line 9x in a row now .

And when i play custom i spawn by big red every time

[frozen gyro]

yea but i mean. im on a scav so i can extract right next to it, idk how chadlord camper is planning to make it to a extract within like 2 to 3 mins xD. i gues if u got that many hours you just minmax the travel time somehow

[silver karma]

I just realized I can buy a helmet from ragman with built in headphones and high ricochet chance, is there something I am missing? Everyone is recommending not to run helmets when starting out

[shrewd python]

based on load time
you're either the fastest or slowest person to load consistently

[silver karma]

it's the soft tank helmet

[shrewd python]

that does not have built in headphones lol

[grand maple]

i have like a mid end pc not even crazy good or bad

[humble eagle]

gotta love the rats lolllll

[silver karma]

oh ok, it said "with headset"

[shrewd python]

Yea you can try it yourself, it muffles sound quite a bit

opposite of the real headphones

[frozen gyro]

i was just happy cus they didnt loot marked room properly so they left a bitcoin in there. didnt expect a dude to be sitting in a bush right outside that late

[silver karma]

ok so no helmet i guess

[shrewd python]

Yea they don't really help

[humble eagle]

hopefully he didnt get out :))

[frozen gyro]

i really hope not. all it takes is someone to sneeze on his legs to break em and hes done for

now thinking if i want to risk going to factory. or if ima save that for later

[humble eagle]

going there for a quest?

[silver karma]

What do you think of this loadout? Don't judge me buying unheard despite being a newbie, my disposable income and gambling tendencies are both too high for my own good. For context I am level 10 and I have all level 1 traders

[frozen gyro]

after over a week i finally got the delivery from the past out of cusstoms. now gotta deposit it in factory. but id most likely die and i really dont wanna spend another wekk/several days trying to get a new folder

[silver karma]

The backpack I just buy from fence whatever he has

[humble eagle]

headshots or legs, not going to be able to pen thru armor ppl are wearing

[humble eagle]

ahh good old early questing, im down to help if you need it

[silver karma]

I know but I don't have better ammo options do I?

[shrewd python]

good 5.45 is everywhere

[frozen gyro]

already level 29 XD been stuck on early quests for ages

[humble eagle]

not currently noo, but you should be fine, scav and look for some ammo very easy to find

[grand maple]

lol i just opened up 10 streamers to lag my pc and i finnaly got a different spawn

[frozen gyro]

sometimes fence also sells ps n stuff if you reaaally need some ammo and cant do a scav

[shrewd python]

big brain

[humble eagle]

happens just got my first grenade kill at about 900 raids in lolll

[frozen gyro]

jeez

i mean if you are willing to carry helpe me real quick with one factory raid before i head off i aint sayin no

[shrewd python]

I'm down

[humble eagle]

3 man?^^

yall that desparate for some mid kits is crazy😭

yall scav reserve or streets for roubles?

Streets is objectively better I believe

[coral canyon]

i mean how much do you make then on streets? i tried scavving there once but the maps a maze so i just gave up lol

[tepid arrow]

I don’t really scav anymore so I can’t tell you but just hearing from other people they say streets is by far the best
