I just had a firefight against a group, one of them switched a light on i couldnt see a thing
I'm deciding if i want to buy EFT and I was curious how the matchmaking is. As in, is it pretty quick to get into a game most of the time. And are you able to squad up with random people or is it friends only? Seems like a fun game, but I don't like playing games alone all the time and most of my gaming friends play PS4.
@gloomy trout It is around 2 minutes to get in to a game I'd say, you can squad up with randoms if you wish, but it is at your own risk, nothing stopping them turning round and shooting you, so be careful. There are plenty of good solid groups/clans out there though, so you should always have someone to raid with
Sweet! Thank you. I'll probably go purchase the game right now then!
If you want some help getting started, you can also request assistance from one of us Sherpas, to help you lean the basics, get started with some of the tasks etc
I only been playing EFT solo since I got it (about a week ago). I'm having a blast going solo, do you think I'm missing out much not doing squads?
If you are enjoying it solo, no need to change I'd say, group play can be a blast, as long as your squad mates don't get confused and kill lol, solo is easier in that respect, shoot anyone lol
i have a question about a key i found
i have that hey and dont know where to use it at in shorline
any one?
excuse me fine people
would anyone have a link or source where i can find a conversion rate for tarkov currencys?
anyone have any idea about how flashlights work? if its dark inside and i get shined, does it blind me? i tried to blind my teammates outside but it didnt work well
(as a test)
@gusty plume 121 for euros 115 for dollars at least with my rep
and @austere imp it doesnt necessarily blind you but you have a very very hard time seeing, youd have to be rediculously close to blind someone or use more than one light, in an average room people will usually shoot at the light meaning youre a little less likely to be landed a headshot on
ty
@bold kernel that key's use is currently unknown (in the notes section of the wiki page)
so does that answer your question?
not really but thanks for helping
basically no one knows where to use that key, currently keys exist intended to unlock safes which aren't locked in the first place. It is likely that this is a key to some safe on shoreline which is not even locked rn.
@buoyant mason thank you so much for the response, i just got demolished by a duo using a single flashlight in interchange, they were about 8m away
cant tell if thats sarcasm or not 😅
it wasn't im actuially grateful lol
explains why i was blinded by a single flashlight
anyone need help with quests or anything ? EU
Hello, im interested in buying Tarkov, theres a checkout option for promo codes, does anyone have any info on those codes?
There is no codes
Allright, thanks for the info
They’re sales at the few major holidays and some major Russian ones
Well its Easter atm, no sale running i think
Legit thought the game was 35€, wasnt expecting the suprise VAT , haha oh well
45 bucks for standard ain’t bad , superior content over a 60 dollar game
Around the 8th May last year there was a sale, maybe this year too? Only a guess though 😃
that was because of the Victory Day, which is like the most important holiday in russian culture and it is on 9th May
when theres a wipe does everything get removed guns etc?
not sure about masteries, but guns, trader levels, all gone
It depends, some times trader levels remain, or mastering skills, this is information released with the pre patch logs etc, but yes you will always lose your in-game gear, everyone back to their edition starter kits
if you buy an edition right before a wipe do you lose everything?
There is no upcoming wipe at the moment @versed trail we just had one, relax lol 😄
No you do no need to reset your in-game profile to get the upgraded edition perks @bold kernel
just bought the game m8
No worries, you are good for months yet I would say
dont think there is any wipe for at least 2-3 months
unless BSG plans to release 11.8 before 12
No it should be straight to 12 😃
Hello guys. Sorry for the newbiness, but where can I find someone to group with?
Preferably someone that can show me the ropes of the game and such. I have about 15 hours in-game, but I still feel like I'm missing some stuff.
@gloomy bane https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/news/id/49
Whats up fam, shortly im really new at eft and im some cheeks if anyone would like to hit me with some tips that helped them thatd be great feel free to hmu! thanks
yo . Sorry for the newbiness, but where can I find someone to group with?
Preferably someone that can show me the ropes of the game and such. I have about 30 mins in-game. lol
Go to the looking for group tab
honestly wouldn't recommend trying to key farm
they spawn so irregularly and keyrunners find and sell them anyways
play the game normally and just buy keys off FM
marked is only 75k now
Is it possible to check what you insured in your previous raid?
I forget every damn time what I insured
At the insurince screen, it should show everything you have insured.
hows it going folks, pretty new to eft and not used to using discord much so sorry if this is the wrong place just extending a general greeting
@surreal barn i found it on the truck/small bus near the crossroads exit
open the driver's seat and look there whenever you pass
wasn't in raid option could be acheinved by someone else?
i mean yesterday i gave some of quest item to my friend and he can turn over to quest giver
but it's not working rn
was there any patch?
i think theyve done it to stop people squadding up and just giving people items
youll have to drop a scav or loot items to get it unfortunately
itll display the new little check mark if its eligible
I keep getting clapped by other scavs and players
how do I improve? I keep losing my gear 
Thanks for the help everyone I found it last night
anyone new starter in game ?
@blazing panther start doing hatchet runs to preserve ur stash. go hit factory. alot. or look into ak spawn locations in other maps like shoreline and just pick one up and go. can only go up from nothing.
where can I buy a hatchet?
I usually consider the steps leading to my death and try to improve. usually rushing out of bordom kills me. head on fights are risky.
uhhh you should always have a knife or melee weapon like hatchet even through death
i have a knife
one of first quests reward a hatchet if I remeber also.
aight
No Quest gives you a melee
one of my ladt ones did
well when your just starting out. ppl work themselves down to nothing but melee fast it seems
all weekend every new player I met was working with 70k rub or less
When do you unlock Ak74 handguards that can equip grips?
Like skier 2
The skier 2 grind 
Also flea or find one
So, after my VAT questions yesterday, i caved in and bought the game. This game is so addictive... Thanks for the folks who spoke to me yesterday.
I'll take any beginner tips btw, quick question mates. Is there any way to increase ONLY footstep sounds? Everytime i shoot my ears kinda bleed
Thanks for the info @steady pilot . Wont hear me complaining. Cheers
Cheers again my dude, i'm always playing with a chrome tab with maps open.
is there an in game compass i can equip?
first few days and struggling to navigate a bit
Using landmarks is your best bet
ok thanks
yeah
woods is easiest to nav, tbh
i memorized where mountain stash, old station, and scav house are and everything else is just there
I started yesterday, got around 4 hours gametime, pretty much only played on Customs. Easy map to navigate i'd say
Shore and Interchange are definitely the worst for me
but shore is so much fun
ya its a crapshoot for travel, especially with the scav spawns being random sometimes
is there any way other than paying to get something bigger than an Alpha container?
yeah, you can Beta from PK4, you can get the Epsilon after Prapors Punisher task, Buy EOD for Gamma or find someone selling a Gamma for 5-6m R
guess i better push some prapor quests lol
can u change what melee u start w
@bold kernel do you want at a hatchet?
not sure
there are melee weapons on the flea market
are they permanent?
yes melee weapons are permanent
I see
streamers drop items with a click of a key
what key would you recommend for quick dropping?
im trying to find a right place to delete so i dont have to move my hand
cant find a good key tho
THANK you ,my good sir
Middle mouse click for scope zoom
Was curious how long it usually takes for a beta code? Sorry if this is the wrong chat, couldn't find one that mentioned codes lol
Hello @urban palm could you explain a little more?
I scrolled to the bottom of the page and signed up for the beta code a couple days ago, do you have to buy it now to get the code?
You have to purchase the game to play, yes
You have to buy the game
Ahhh okay thank you
Open Beta is hopefully coming later this year, were you will be able to play for free
free? oof
In open Beta, yes, but when Beta closes obviously you will no longer be able to play, hence Open lol
shocked Nik will let people play for free
That's kinda a silly comment, considering there are trial keys lol
Usually 14 days yes, but Open Beta will only be a few months I would imagine, tops, just my opinion I mean
if we ever get there, ha
looks at 2016 release date
game's still quite far from completion
as with all early access alpha/betas
i wouldn't expect open beta in 2019 or even 2020
no? but okay
I am completely new anyone mind teaching me the basics
@pastel trail where are you from?
USA
@neat grove @bold kernel work for you guys ^^
What's the best way to increase flea market rep?
I've flipped like 10 mil in items by now
sell things
each 100k is .1
is there any better way
sell more
I doubt 100k is 0.1
If that's the case I should be at 10 by now
I've been selling modded M4s for 300k each
unles they up'd each 0.1 rep price
@split vapor nonna plays, and shoots me kn the face
when trying to activate a laser
Yoo got red key card on shoreline. How to sell it quickly not to put it several times on flea cuz I dont wanna pay fee. At the same time I dont wanna undercut several milions
Flea market would be the safest way to sell it in my opinion @hasty walrus regardless if you have to drop it a little to beat the competition, do you really want to risk getting screwed over in a raid with that kinda money?
Ty
From a conversation earlier, red key cards are going for 15M on the flea market and everyone that was there agreed that it wasn't worth it
If I had one, and the courage to do a labs run, I'd stick that key card in whatever secure container you have and go for that room
I hear you can lock the door behind you and with so few cards, sounds like free loot to me
On a related note, anyone have tips for a Labs run?
Don't.
10/10
may i ask sth. about the game installation?
whatcha mean
i can't install my game on windows 10
i hit the install button and nothing happened
space i got 55gb but just nothing happened
Make sure you're running the launcher as admin
I couldn't close the launcher by clicking the X button
I also changed the install path and make sure full english path name
i could run rainbowsix siege on my pc but couldn't play eft
Sosad
where do you get trial keys for the game?
@bold kernel
From giveaways or envoys
i keep getting stuck on this page, after it gave me an error and told me to close the game
now when i click play on the launcher theres like a 45 sec delay before it opens
now it has this
nvm it fixed itself
anyone want to duo with me and help me learn, just got the game yesterday
@eternal vine where are you from?
@eternal vine if u have questions I can answer them
anyone want to play, just got the game and ive been going on scav runs just sniping people lol
@mint geyser are you looking for guidance? then call for a sherpa, if you´re just looking for a group to play with use #pvp-lfg

I am completely new to game, where can I find good, easy to read maps with updated extraction points names(like this one below), I am having problem with different names on hard to read, older maps:(
I am playing and trying to learn Shoreline as a first map, is that's good beginners map? I am thinking to learn customs next
some people saying that woods are good as first map too
thanks, Is there a way to stop healing/drinking/taking morphine shot animation? sometimes someone jumps on me and I have to wait until end of animation, and I am dead:(
look at the messages(lower right corner next to settings button) 24-72h after loosing insured gun, mustache guy will send you info that his dogs found your gun, but he will sell it if you don't reclaim gun in short time.
if you insure items that dont mean you gonna get them back, you only get them back if noone picks them up and extract with them
what's the calculation for the increase of market standing?
i lost all my money and guns and gear what do i do now
do scav runs till you get out with gear
Or just reset your account and try again
Lol mustache guy, love it 😄
scav runs just from point A to B, every 10 min, and you have enough gear to start over
I am new, not too good with names:)
No worries man, just made me giggle. If any of you need some assistance there are Sherpas on standby to take you through some raids, you can even get a free gear set sent to you, courtesy of BSG
Request a Sherpa - https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/sherpa
wow, how nice:) that is different comparing to other games that I played(except ARMA 3 group that I found on Polish forum, people there are helpful too),
I guess that them complicated military games have more mature fanbase
i unequipped some things from my character and now the game seems to allow me to play offline mode, is there a minimum loadout needed to raid?
Might've just been the game bugging out on you
nah its just that it ONLY allows me to play offline right now for some reason, unless its because im DLing a game and my connection is horrible
ah maybe
thx
so.. i just loaded into my first team raid after practicing offline / as scav for a few days and was immediately team killed on spawn by my team mates.. is that typical?
is playing with randoms just generally a bad idea in this game
@sick swift yes.
noted
since theres no chat, or VOIP, they will simply kill you right away in most cases
won´t lie.
toxic
youre better off finding a group on discord
mainly since any type of teamkilling is a big no bueno
if done intentionally
ill lfg on here, i just wanted to try with randoms because im low level and dont want to be a carry for whoevers on here
@sick swift teamplay will be enforced later on, by certain ingame rulesets, but during this testing phase its a deathmatch madness unless you´re a preteam
fair enough.. i thought thered be a penalty for team kill, or perhaps insurance on your gear if youre team killed, guess not
@sick swift later on, there will be penalities handed out by the traders, so you will ruin your standing with them if you go rampage, bears and usec then need to fight together as well as scavs, but that "karma" system is still far away from now
it would just block testing of weapons and gear rn
i see. ok thanks, ill make sure i go in naked from now on
ur welcome

CUSTOMS map is bugged, my friends are in, they see me standing/spawned , but on my screen it says " Waiting for players" wtf ?!
It happened 2 times already.
@bold kernel https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/support
@bold kernel waiting for players means that you have finished loading while someone else still needs to load
that can take several minutes in the worst case
depending on the map
They killed me n took my shit both times while I was waiting for players
oh, thats weird
6 games and i havent made it off the spawn point yet for being team killed, just going back to solo
sad
@sick swift
Never invite or accept invites from Randos
yeah ive given up on it now, i was just hoping thered be a few lobbies that didnt immediately team kill but guess not
ill look for other lvl 1's
Your best chance is to hop into #pvp-lfg channel or on of the raid voice channels here.
Hi, I'm new, I'm looking for some Italians to explain to me how to play
thanks: i'm writing!
thanks @simple pendant ! go @stiff valve
Hey @sick swift send me a message I'll team up with ya
@sick swift & @trail umbra please move to another channel if not waiting for Sherpa assistance 😉
cheers
np
So the 9x18 rounds don't really pen class 2 armor, so it makes more sense to just get the most flesh damage possible?
yes
Does offline raiding Labs use up the lab key?
wouldnt have thought so
wouldnt be very fair
doubt theyd charge you 115k with no way of making the money bacl
back**
Do you get back ammo you used in offline mode? I seem to remember not getting ammo back
You get everything back
Alrighty then
I'll trust you and try to learn Labs lol
I was out of a computer when Labs was released and started playing again during the Raider in maps event
Didnt understand what was going in as a Scav and waited for the wipe lol So no Labs for me yet
from my lab time this patch 1/20 raiders will auto face and one tap all the rest have been real stupid
That's good news lol My issue is PMCs when I dont know the map
any ideas on how to start leveling up i got my loadout ready and i'm ready to run factory or should i run scav first idk
@spare compass if you want to level up, no point in playing as a Scav really as you will not get XP for your PMC, kill, loot, tasks and surviving, it just takes time my man
WTB Gamma or an awesome guy willing to help with resetting for a Gamma - I can pay for it!
how much are gammas worth?
so i got a labs single use keycard, does that just mean i get in without paying?
I saw a few gammas going for 2.4M-3M roubles
You have to have the keycard in your inventory to play labs. So you only pay to get in if you purchase the keycard
Short answer, no. Not this time
Does the level xp you get as scav count to your account?
Scav and PMC each have their own seperate stats and level
I mean account wide level
what you do as a scav levels the scav
@split vapor Does that scav level affect what kind a gear you get on the scav?
Scav gear is all rng
ah okay, ty
Thats actually awesome tbh
if youre lucky could get a bitcoin
I got a bitcoin once, got shot in the head ^^
nice meme
aha
could someone pls buy me a beta case? got scammed out of 2 mil when buying gamma
trading discord - they are 1.8-2.5
5600 is 640k rub, selling my stash to get there, just 100k short
is tarkov shooter can't beatable with obrez?
I shoot the target more then 80m with headshot but it didn't count.
why use an obrez
because my heart attck?
literally impossible to hit anything past 10 feet with that thing
what's so different with regular mosin it's just shorter
I killed it
duh
any way can i beat that quest with obrez
tarkov shooter pt2
best thing i can do tomorrow when i get my first match of tarkov with 2 of my real life buds?
like best advice other than good teamplay and callouts and jump identifiers lol
idk if anyone thinks of something they wish they would have known when they started send me a dm or something i will surely need help haha
watch your sectors, keep your 6 covered
@tidal spade don't all loot at the same time! 😄
got it and all loot would be equal to looting everything within a radius of your character yes?
or opening everything and having mad boxxes of loot pop up
thats my best guess haha
ohhh
lol see im dumb i need help but yea whole team doesnt loot
If they are your friends I am sure you will work it out, I killed a pair the other day as they both ran to ammo boxes and started looting, quick tap and both dead lol
One should cover while the other loots, then switch
yea ive already mentioned that to my 2 rl buddies that im going to be playing with like 1 guy can hand out loot or we can talk about who needs what while he checks and the other two watch perimeter and what not
i guess they suck at basic callouts too which i can help with at least someone im sure
One thing I like to do, if you get pinned down in a building or something, one of you use meds while the other covers, sometimes the enemy will try and rush you as they think you are alone and using meds, then nice easy kill. Another one I like to do in buildings, have one get in a position to aim in/out of the room, while the other opens/closes the door.
@crisp heron which barrel are you using?
the 200mm one doesn´t have a front sight so you will miss more than you hit
I'm mounting scope rn
as i told it's part 2
which is 5 headshot and 7 leag shot
*leg
and as experiment rn it's wroking
@crisp heron im not sure 100% but slow walking and making noise eg walking through bushes seems to increase mine
it said while in crouch so... could be increased by that
@sick swift you need help?
nothing specific, just chillin in there in case anyone low level wants to team or someone feels like carrying for a bit.
on day 23
2
It's a waiting room for assistance @sick swift not for chilling in please 😉
There are plenty of other channels for that
is there a channel for low level players looking to team, or waiting for sherpa?
sorry thats what i thought it was
It is a waiting room for a Sherpa, but you said you didn't need one? We also spoke about this last night lol
If you want to team, there is the #pvp-lfg channel please
well i wouldnt say no to a sherpa if someone is available.
What region are you from?
uk
is there a best way to find ammo / weapon boxes or any means of increasing stash size
OK join the waiting room then please and someone will be with you shortly
thanks @simple pendant
@sick swift
You can find Ammo boxes at rare spawns, then you can buy junkboxes for vendor trash at Therapist level 2, the medical and item cases from Therapist level 3
ahhh thankyou, thats helpful, im trying to figure out which vendor to level first
@simple pendant pistol case can also be looted
ah, forgott about that one D:
Cause it's garbage. 
^ 😄
these random high value items like condensed milk, moustaches, chains etc. should they just be sold or are they to be kept for exchanges / quests?
gold chains and condesend milk are good to keep (if you have the space)
you can sell the streamer itmes without worry
ty
My mom wont allow me to play escape from tarkov ... question is how i can play it if mom doesn't allow ????
Start living alone.
replace mum with mrs and i hear u
ok dig out pit what to do now ?
just joined this server, lmk if anyone ever needs a extra
I think therapist gives medical case at rep two now? I can already see it... I need it but need that scav box more. so much barter trash collecting
meds case on therapist ll2 is a trade
ah. well its there
how do i escape from tarkov?
huh. well how am i supposed to live?
or rather, extract? do i have to wait for the timer to reach zero?
oh nice
if you don´t know the maps yet, use a map from the wiki and put it on your second monitor or mobile
hah yeah i made the mistake of waiting 20 minutes to die on my first game thinking id be pulled out :/
lol
yeah good thing i have a second monitor. i managed to get one scav out
damn cooldown is a pain
hi, I'will reset my character and return level 1 with base equipment, how do I do?
reset game profile done (on site) but nothing happens...
why?
bsg is changing the period of when we reset from 2 weeks to something each month iirc
Vaeriah04/16/2019
To Clarify: This does not mean there is a global wipe on the 30th.
This means MANUAL account reset time has been extended from 2 weeks, to 3 weeks.
all timers have been reset to make this change, so everyone will be able to MANUALLY reset their profile on the 30th of April.
@short thistle
but yeah
Helpin new players if I can.
Waiting room is for people waiting for Sherpas afaik
@brisk mortar Correct
If you want to help some new players @bold kernel please create a channel 😃
yea why reset when u can just do scav runs
which flash light has lowest light
how to good eft
@frail pelican
Very carefully.
Carefully: In a way that deliberately avoids harm or errors; cautiously. 😄
I mean so far ive been splatted even while trying to be competent. not good
In all serious though, it just takes time, learning the mechanics of the game, maps, weapons, ammo, meds, high traffic areas etc. We all started off getting wasted a lot, the game is very punishing to start. Take it slow, listen to your surroundings, everything your character does can be heard by the enemy, just remember that
Is playing scav worth it then? or is it better to just hatchling run?
Starting off playing as a scav can be good as you have nothing to lose by doing so, but then you don't get any XP for your PMC either, so it is personal preference really. I don't really play as a scav myself
But then youre probably competent
I'm OK yeah, but I play it... a lot lol
go on. how many hours
Not sure off the top of my head, but I play daily
There is also the Sherpa program to assist new players, teach them the basics, help with tasks, watch their six etc, you can get a free loadout also
Can someone clarify why anyone would want to manually reset their acct separate from a wipe?
If they lose all their gear and wish to start over is the usual reason, to get their edition gear
Ahhh you get the edition gear again, get you. Damn that must be rough.
If you lose all your gear in the first few raids, you may wish to reset and change tactics a little, be a little more conservative with your gear
I see... yeah Im like golem with chronic gear fear so that possibility didn’t even occur to me
Ty
No worries. Once you start playing with different weapons/loadouts and just having a laugh, the gear fear will go, if you can get some nice kills with a low level pistol or shotgun, you'll always be able to get some gear back, plus there is the scav runs to get some bits if needed
I also believe if you have nothing left in your stash, Prapor will send you a AKS-74U to help get you going again
Yeah it’s fading. For the first couple of days anything with an optic on it got treated like a newborn
Lol
last few times ive loaded into factory ive just instadied for no reason at all, is that a thing? servers maybe?
when you spawn late, it is possible for your body to be already there, without you having control
i see.
There's also been an issue with invisible raiders
Raiders are only on Labs, this was on Factory
what exactly are RIP shells?
Yo if you kill a scav silently or not around others, but they hear it, will they be aggressive when they get to you. Is it if you’re near the body or something like that can someone explain.
@bold kernel
Their basically more extreme versions of Hollpw Points
@sage yacht over here
presuming if you insure body armour it gets returned in the exact fucked up state you died in?
If no one exits the raid with it, yes as it is damaged @sick swift
you will get it back how you lost it
Hi guys, i finnaly started to accumulate a nice amount of money ( almost 5 ML ), where do you suggest me to invest them? I mean, what should I buy first? as containers I have only the dogtag and the keytool
maybe some cases?
I'm scared to buy a lot of high tier equipment, don't want to possibly loose all of the hard work in 10 minutes
Maybe an item case @inner cove ? Pretty universal with what you can store in them
storage. kill someone else for their nice stuff
ok ty guys
Hi, can anyone tell me how to get a trial for this game? thx
wdym emissarys?
@worn dome
Each major region has an emissary or two that work with the community on different things, depending in where you are you may be able to contact yours through Discord or the Forum and request a trial key from them. Though to my understanding they only have a very limited amount to give out at any given time.
@brisk mortar EU, portugal, which one should i contact, do you know?
I'm sorry I don't, I only know the NA Emissary
There should be a EU emissary though
Jus connect to the few servers that have the lowest ping for you
killa is one of them. he is usualy around the middle of interchange, deal maker on customs is either in dorms or new gas.
Yo if you kill a scav silently or not around others, but they hear it, will they be aggressive when they get to you. Is it if you’re near the body or something like that can someone explain.
distance plays apart if others will agro, say on customs you kill a scav or so at the customs building, scavs on the other side of the map wont be hostile
Mmmk, but if they come to investigate I have just been shooting them and they sort of keep coming, if they come to investigate and your there will they shoot?
I’ve basically just been scaving in factory, and once I shoot one I end up in a fire fight with the god damn map till I die lol
Because factory is small
Other maps have areas of scav who belong to the same group
Woods for example has the groups scav house, lumber mill, factory building, rock formation, shack and lake (this one could be two groups)
Scavs don’t peak right? Only raiders
scavs do
scav runs have been legit recently, got a decked out all black AK with compensator and an armored rig, and another ak74 with paca armor
have they been buffed or is it just rng
11.7 has had buffed player scav loadouts. Fewer naked pistols, more armored rifles.
nice
quick question if i buy the standard edition now will i be able to play in the betas right now?
@meager kernel yes, pre-ordering any edition grants you access to the beta
awesome thank you
Anyone to carry me through interchange to loot fuel conditioners ? Today died like 20 times mostly bumbed into squads. 2 times barerly made it aliwe but without loot
Any specific server? I am from central EU and all of server around me are full of players.
i guess pick the 1 lowest ping server and give it a try
iirc turkey and other middle east are basically dead
Ok I ll try it... Just someone suggested to do hatchet run, well I was my 1st attempt. Got killed by exit camper, but at least was lucky enough to go through the map O.o
Yeah that too dont waste gear on doing these now stupidifyed quests
turkey is pretty dead
dont think turkey allows fun
I see only 1 sever in ME it's Turkey. Is there any indicator that means server is dead? Like matching time or smthing?
high matching time, yes
But should it be the highest possible?
when i do it, trying for no people is like 3 or so
You mean 3 mins waiting in queue? Or when you pick server and sort with avg matchin times it should be over 0:30?
@split vapor thanks, Turhish is really empty. 10 mins in raid and I have heard only 1 person shooting.
Hello, may i ask if any1 have ryzen 2700x 1080ti and have sutter/fps drops or it's just from the game any video settings or the like i can do to fix it/reduce it? Second i would like to know is there a place where i can see what every item is worth to know what to keep/throw or its by trial and error , thank you.
game lags and drops frames constantly
often whenevr someone shoots or loads in
there is a price check thread in the unoffical eft discord to have price checks fast in raid
since the prices flucuate so much
ty
brand new to tarkov, been running customes a lot offlien, but when i go online i just get jumped from seemingly no where... anyone wanna team up?
@dry crater where are you from?
USA
then @neat grove or @bold kernel would be your Sherpa who will help you 😉
ok, thanks!
gtb free gear btw
@split vapor I'll fight you
kewl
what zone is the best for beginner you would say'? i learn the innerchange from South entrance and did 4 runs pmc didn't die once and got 2-4-3-4 kills
but i need to learn from the other side, any good videos/any1 wanna do duo and help me out?
For raw funds Interchange is best
Hitting the electronics store on the second floor with the big red banner is a majority of it
Thank you @brisk mortar my problem right now is that i get lost where to enter/exist on time right now, as i'm new
from the ramp entrance i learn and watch a video how to loot all the chest's there and jackets etc and do 10-12min run for quite good moneyz
but i don't know how to do it when i spawn on the front side of the map
aka do it vica versa i tried offline mode but obviously without map is hard
Just put map on your second monitor 
@hearty veldt Finding someone to group with helped me for the bigger maps, if they know the points then making a couple runs should help
ye, i did that with one guy but he is away now, and i have no one to play with, solo is high risk high reward kinda, and i end up playing very scared/passive and not have as much fun becasue i don't know all the spots either
@hearty veldt you can always request a Sherpa to assist you, learn the maps, help with tasks etc - https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/sherpa
k . thanks will do that i guess
is it normal for this game to give me 80 fps while i have a i9 9900k and a rtx 2080ti
cause
you know
i dont understand that
It is because of a combination of its unoptimized engine and dodgy servers.
There's only so much you can brute-force a game
so
my brute force gpu
isnt doing the job
okay
need to get the rtx titna
titan
xD
I mean if you're gonna upgrade
I have some adaptive over clocking thing on both c and g. My cpu is only 2.2g but damn kicks to near 5 with eft
1080ti founders best
Yo the LZSh light helmet
i just got the SLAAP
why wont it let me put it on?
it says on the wiki its for it
you cant put lights on helmets, just nods and masks
or is it not implemented?
soon tm
the slap armor plate?
do i need a mount or something?
no
correction the Slaap plate only works on the FAST MT
im trying to put it on the lzsh light helmet
not the crye
big oof
what attachemnts should i get for dirt cheap but will make my weapon much stronger for example VEPR (i'm level 2)
lzsh best way to go Fshield and comtacs?
well the Slaap is made for the FAST MT
tbh i rarely use helms
I use the Sordins, the lower half mask, the green beanie, and the 6b something thing anti frag goggles
i was on the wiki for the light helmet
and because some work together
i ended up on the fast one by accident
and didnt realise
so i got a piece for the wrong helmet lol
helmets mean one or two tapped but in style
i got aload of insured stuff back so going into a factory run to mess about
glock with big mag haha
33 shots
nah
with the luger rounds
:L

by the way about insured stuff how long you need to wait to get them back 2-3 days? and how does it work if you have full stash etc? you get email or what
if no one yeets your gear should take a day to come back
day and some change typically
fun, nah gotta finish a paper
yo wanna get shot together?
bigger oof it counts as my final
good luck mate
id prob end up shooting you by accident jackson :L
maybe not on factory haha
im up for some other runs tho if you wanna add me
communication is key to a happy anything
ive already killed a friend on accident the other day
gladly ive only done it once haha
ive only done a few runs
ok so if i insured stuff how do i know if /when i got them back
do i get a message or something
and i was confused and shot him straight in the head
Yeah a message in the message window
in messenger
from either prapor or ther
and it stays for a day before you cant get ur things back
oki thx
half shameless plug but yea jackson if you wanna play hit me up im streaming the run then we can play
oh i have 9 messages from him fak
nice
snipe on woods ez clap
enjoy ❤
yeah i insured my stuff and i was wondering why i didnt get my stuff back
you might get some cool stuff bac
then i saw the message yesterday
aight i should stop typing and play haha
k i see the messages ,now where do i go to get the item's back :S
hit me up if you wanna play, flick my bean atm
click on the dude that u insured with , and the message should get on it
wanna hop in the noob voice chat channel?
ill hop in soon unless you wanna hop into mine
gonna do scav then that factory run
so hop into a quick scav if you have one
then we can do the factory pmc together
i just did my scav run had my head taken off
i ran towards some gunshots on factory killed someone and got immediately ended aswell
full of 4-5 man squads quite often on my servers and cba change server/ping for it
so customs for scav runs?
i just do factory these days
since i have nothing to lose
not bad for a free run
anything but factory, honestly
+it will help you get better idea/movment/spots on the ususal places you run vs players
hold up how come you don't have the pouch that don't lose any items even if you die
me?
oh right i'm stupid
no container on scav runs right?
i upgraded my account the other day
yy
indeed.
man
the space
so fucking nice not gonna lie
i know they are planning to make it so the higher editions are basicly just headstarts
same as Path of exile 😃
for release
path of exile
a game i havent played in ages
its got so much content
game supported by community (kickstarter)
for them kinda games tho im stuck to warframe
and f2p and just comsetics awesome how it should be
mean while we out here playing tetris
its so daunting to start warframe
but its so fucking good once you get into it
i have 60 weapons stacked up to level
and like 20 warframes
its daunting to start this game man
Tarkov is nice, but it's casual market i'm afraid every game is getting easier and faster
well tbh
i worry if it will ever get big/good base, not to follow something like battlerite
tarkov has aim assist already
WuT?
with the recoil control assist
huh?
have you not seen?
i have no idea what you are talking about
there is slight auto recoil assist, mimics say ur pmc is doing it for you
i watched pestilys video on it
man
when you max recoil control and go prone
with mods on gun
the things a laser beam
theres basically already no recoil when proned too
eh
i hate that shit
prone means shoot me in the head
nope
like hiding in a dark corner yeah
but in a open area going prone mean a 7n1 coming for that head
also fyi if yall gonna do shit go to the reg vc channels
b4 someone else does
@lilac solar and folks
any of them
aight ty
just the BA vc is well for BA
--------=
huh?
Guys do you get fps drops/spieks/sutters
when i watch streamers they don't have the same as me, my game runs perfect 130/140+ fps i have good pc etc no problems
and all of a sudden game freezes/sutters then it's ok, is it because of beta/bad engine or something wrong on my end
stuttering is usually caused by server/connection issues.
streamers def get stutters
oh, but i have stable intenret too, around 25-40ping most of the time
So it's a server issue. You EU?
Correct
i have over 10 servers with 50 ping or less from luncher
Oh ok 😦
is the sound weird sometimes, i see guy running infront of me making 0 sound, yet a guy step on wood behaind me 3 rooms and i hear him
I've had the most luck with UK based servers
yo
we just did a scav run
everyone got out fine
i went out
said server connection lost
and i got nothing
what
Sorry friend, you just got Tarkov'd
oof
Until they shell out for better quality servers, it's gonna keep happening to everyone.
how many devs work on tarkov?
i think something around 80-100? thats the last thing i read at least
I think that number was the whole team
i dont know
is there a bug where the map doesnt show got one for wood and it loaded in then disappeared
anyone out there that could help me with getting started in this game, i just can't seem to grasp how to get started. just to much scattered info i don't know how to filter it all..
and all the beginner guides on YT are like months old, and the ones that were uploaded 2-3 weeks ago are lackluster in info
Where are you from, and what exactly do you need help with?
EU, just general biggern tips, i just have no idea what im doing, i just died witht he bignner gear that i got, and now i got no guns except the handguns. where do i get Ar from?
You can buy weapons from Traders or find them in a raid @quiet nebula
In raids or from the flea market, can buy weapons on the market too.
i literallyt go in to factory
turn a corner
and die
thanks for the help tho
ill have to figure this one out the hard way
Try another map, Factory is tight CQB, Customs or Shoreline you will be able to move around a lot easier
Try a different map @quiet nebula , tarkov is a game that will test your patience, try levelling up and doing quests from Prapor, Therapist and Skier to start, then when more quests unlock you can do ragman and mechanic
There are lots of good groups/clans also, Tarkove can be a lot easier with some experienced players
also i ran a raid earlier, got some stuff from a scav, looked at one of those maps online, ran to the extraction point couldnt get out
so i lingered for too long and got killed
yeah i just dont know where to find those groups
Not guaranteed
@quiet nebula if you double tap o it shows what extract you can get out of ??? extracts arent always open, you either were at the wrong extract or it wasnt open
nah it was color coded, said PMC extraction
yeah you cant extract at every extraction
ok oh, ic
well, yeah. stuff like that
i have lvl 1 traders
or 0
whats a good gun to run with?
For early game? Probably Mosin
inf rifle?
1 Shots to chest against no armor, high pen as well
Say you spawn at one side of the map, your extract is usually on the complete opposite side of the map, just remember to double tap O to check what extracts you can get out of but remember that ??? means it might not be open for you to extract
Any Mosin, just get the cheaper one
for lvl 1 prapor its only the inf
Also @quiet nebula you could try #pvp-lfg see if anyone wants to show you the ropes etc
also, does anyone have a good method for just leveling your pmc?
ill try
like i feel like I've been lvl 6 forever after so many raids
@narrow robin grinding quests basically
hokey
if you die in a raid you get 0.5x your xp and if you survive you get 1.5x but runthroughs give you nothing
K, thanks
Waht
That's not true xd...
PRetty sure if you die, it's still full exp. And if you get a runthrough, that's .5x exp
You 100% get .5x exp for a runthrough
I've done a few recently. Found loot too good to risk fighting over, and got out
by runthrough giving nothing i meant like hardly any xp not actually 0xp
It's the .5x though xd I think it's still 1.0 for death too
what mount do i need for a tapco sks for a PSO scope?
What qualities a run through, is it just timer that it’s gauged on? Or if you get a bunch of frags does that allow you to dip a bit sooner?
Qualifies*
needs over 300 xp for it not to be a run through
@narrow robin you need the op-sks and then you need the dovetail mount
skier 2 iirc
fuk

@violet summit turn off adblock or stop blocking css/JavaScript
when you have a labs access key (the one time use) if you equip it to play offline mode, does it still get consumed?
no
What keys i need the most ( i have ) would you say? esp for missions /task and such
Just get them as you need them
^ You can buy the key from market, and do the quest real fast and resell the key for no loss most of the time
when a quest says wear balaclava.. is it the item that is explicitly called that or will any of the balaclava's work?
Only the Balaclava item
thanks
@neat grove stahp telling lies, all balaclavas. We have them displayed
^
@misty shard wrong gun, you have aks-74 it needs to be aks-74n
guys whats UN Roadblock on this map
please i can't find it /know what it is @neat grove
Thats woods
oh fk
Youre still on the wrong map
ty i figure it out 😄
Hey, so I just bought the game. I know some basic stuff like "dont die" and "loot comes with you" ect but what are some pointers people can give me? Many thanks - Kow
avoid big land marks and take time to track player movements... or play offline. learn a route. run it. tweak it. do trader tasks. have fun.
Thanks for the help
i can't see where i'm being shot at what is the best way to know where the shots are coming from?
Sound orientation
And landmark orientation
As well as knowing where are blindspots

in Operations Aquarius part 2, are the kills made as a scav counted in the quest or not?
oh ok thanks
also, i think i did a couple of kills on my pmc (not sure if it was after i accepted the mission or not) but they didn't count
did you complete it already?
just to be sure it's working correctly
hmm it's possible there was a glitched raid but i am currently making progress on it and it seems to be correctly counting my kills
ok thanks a lot for your help
np good luck buddy
😃
does any pistol have sight/red dot or something similar better aim on mouse2?
with mods, yes
name of pistol & mod please?
the sr1mp, glock, mp433, p226 can be modded to have a red dot
ty
seriously what the fuck is in wood
every guy is lie in the ground/on top of rock camping it's not fun to play at all that map holy shit

It's the best map for sniping, so people are gonna snipe. Just be careful and learn all the places where people like to shoot from and either avoid them or sneak up on them.
☝
i'm not saying people shouldn't snipe i'm just pointing out it's the least fun map for me to play.
