@daring leaf you can either read the description so you know which weapons take the mag or go on the arrow at the compatible area (only shows weapons you have in the stash)
the ammo you need is shown in the bottom left of every weapon

Uhh, I have played like atleast 30 times
0 kills
I bought the game yestday
but even if I get behind somebody, I shoot him with a pistol
then I get shottied

@river dirge with pistol headshots are mandatory
otherwise you will have a bad time

What do I do with my money when I dont even want to take a pistol with me

I just got a question as I have set up everything and just wanted to hop into a game of ,,Factory'' as it seems the easiest for starters. Yet, I am in a loading time of 20 minutes
river dirge
I can find matches really quick

Is it normal?
buoyant mason
no @quasi breach is it loading times or connection times?
quasi breach
Ah caps
quasi breach
Oh?
buoyant mason
yeah hop on a more populkated server @quasi breach
quasi breach
It said ,,Normal''
the others said Hard and Insane
so I thought it was easier than the rest
simple pendant
don´t taske those difficultys serious
buoyant mason
factory is tiny, too many variables of players and no build up to gunfights
river dirge
Factory is all close quarters

Ah, so by Server you mean Region?

just steer clear of home boi killa

@modern willow use a op-sks as base and then a dovetail mount (skier 2) and then a b-13 (skier 2) and you can mount almost every scope on the sks
modern willow
So Tapco is more of a CQC role huh
Kinda weird considering I remember seeing the mount for it in BF3.
plucky goblet
the tapco is for both since you can use it in the normal and the op sks
simple pendant
@modern willow you can mod the normal sks and the op-sks with tapco mods
but with the normal one you only have small sights in the front
with the op sks you aren´t limited
modern willow
So the OP-SKS is better than the Tapco Intrafused Stock then? If I want to mod it for sniping/marksman role?
Considering I can at least get something above RDS
simple pendant
if you want a modded sks you should always use the op-sks variant
modern willow
Gotcha

@river dirge this isn't a game pandering to casuals.
If you don't want to spend the time learning it, well, it's not gonna magically become easier just because you complain about it.
So you can either try to understand it to then enjoy the best mil FPS gunplay, or just call it quits and go back to battlefield.
If you decide to stay, search the wiki for maps to learn extract locations, play offline with AI to get better at combat, and in real raids go with minimal equipment to not lose much if you die.

can some explain mechanically how armor damage works?
im looking at the 7.62x54R Sniper rounds and it says it does 84 damage and 82 armor damage

dreamy junco
It took me a few games to figure out how to orient myself and figure out where I was. Once you find one extraction point, active or inactive for you, you should be able to figure out which direction you need to go. Just keep heading that direction and you should be good. Also, if your exfil is near the water, just follow the water you'll get there eventually, but use your best judgement, it ain't the most forgiving game if you run into some hostiles.

one last question, are scavs bots, people, or a mix of the two?

mix of the two.
Considering their playable, I would believe their a mix. I think the bots are easier to tell from others.

is there a way of farming vitality or stress resistance? Super slow.

you can abuse dehydration, pack yourself up with medkits

how much RAM and what graphic card?

I gotta remember
People are dicks.
I waved to a guy and let him pass, and the dickhead had to chase me before my exfil

I would think about doubling your RAM to 16GB and check for an graphic card update, maybe an 1050 and you should be good.
Currently, your graphic power is very low, so I am not sure, if you will enjoy the game.
quasi breach
Me sad.

Yes @wide jacinth 16GB is recommended at the moment, SSD and increasing your paging file can help also

I could do it right now

more tricks please?

to get it back iva insurance
serene kayak
Ye
hearty veldt
that's something else new players should do, if you have same vest as the one you loot/kill for , just replace since you will most likley get it back via insruance free 15-20-30k depending on what it is, same for backpacks
hearty veldt
do offline mode based on spawn on how to do fast loot runs, then learn scav spawns/patrols, you can do decent runs for 150-200k for about 10m
serene kayak
btw, which key should i use?
hearty veldt
i'm using f4 because i'm on small tenkeyless keyboard and i use it for drop/discard in other games so it's a habbit
serene kayak
for discard
serene kayak
ALrright
hearty veldt
like side buttons or some around the scroll
serene kayak
also, whats the difference between these med items, hard to understand what to use them for
painkillers i know
but the yellow medkit thing
hearty veldt
it's time spend to heal and also sapce that it takes in the iventory
for example salewa heals for 400 but take smae space as "car"
you want something to heal either salewa/car/IFAK , then 1 splint for borken bons and stuff and then painkillers/ibuprofen . thats pretty much it
reef spoke
I thought it was bound by default to delete.
(the discard thing)
A handy trick .
bind grenades to J instead of G so you don't fat finger it : D
hearty veldt
also another tip is to change optics to red dot if you like , rather then crosshair you can do it on most
as by default it's not a red dot

asside from factory whats the next smallest map
or rather what map aside from factory should i be starting on
hardy ocean
ill do woods customs feels like a maze
untold forge
I think Customs is probably a better choice however, it tends to have more loot and is a bit more forgiving with its sight lines
However the choice is yours
hardy ocean
My problem is I haven’t been able to successfully extract from customs cuz I can’t seem to get past all the fences and spawn across the map
simple pendant
@hardy ocean go offline and learn customs
you will be alot on that map when you do the firsts tasks
hardy ocean
That brings me to another point how do I get more tasks cuz I did the kill 5 scavs but nothing else came
I guess I’ll try customs but god there’s so any dead ends
hardy ocean
I did do that
simple pendant
most tasks either have a level requirement or other tasks need to be done before
under the name of the task should be a new button you can click
then you get the rewards

anybody here fresh level EOD need tips?
torpid cairn
when you extract stuff from the map and use the stuff in next match and die, then do we loose the stuff or we have it in our inventory ?
neat grove
what ever you take in and lose
you lose for ever
unless you insured it and no one took it
torpid cairn
oh
hearty veldt
insurance means if people don't loot it you will ge tit back
torpid cairn
so whats the point of looting and collecting in your inventory in main menu?
hearty veldt
you can also replace same gear from scav, for example scav vest or backpack discard your's take the scav one high chance no1 will take it and you will get it back aka making a free bag
everybody dies, usually over 30% surv rate is good, it's part of the game, for example i killed a guy with a nade when i had only pistol and he was geared for around half a mill
torpid cairn
i will play this game today i was just asking some pre game questions
hearty veldt
hold on do you mean like 'stash' as in main menu or iventory as what your char wears
torpid cairn
yes
hearty veldt
@torpid cairn no problem ask away
also bind a key to "discard" items as you can do it via looting so you don't have to mouse click and then discard saves you time
use offline mode to make a loot path or learn the map, and where to exit and so on, i would say custom and interchange are best for new players, as factory is often squad or very well geared player camping
here are the two map's.
torpid cairn
what do we do with the loot we extracted?
hearty veldt
There are some key's that are worth a lot in this maps youtube them and check them, they take only 1 spot in your gamma case( that you never lose if you die) and are very profitable
we sell it (level 5 on flea market) or on "traders"
by selling items to them you gain reputation and they sell you/exchange you better stuff
check the wiki for every item you don't know about or "required search "when you click m2 on them
torpid cairn
oh
hearty veldt
filter by item to check flea market prices, some like mp-153 shotgun are more expensive on flea market because for quest
for example trader normal shop give you 12-15k on flea its 23-5 k
you can also remove the flashlight off and sell it for another 10k
so in total making 35k of one shotgun that you will otherwise sell for 13k
hearty veldt
take good look at this , those are item's that are selling for good price on flea market
well , before you reach godo reputation and high level
you will have to use flea market, to buy better gear that you are not offered by traders yet
witch means it's more expensvie then at usual trader
so you need more money to buy better gear for higher chance to survival
and better gear, because pistols can't kill /penetrate high tier armor
also bullet's matter in that regard and they are more expensive can get up to 20k for example for just 30 bullets without the mag
you can also use the money to buy case's and so on that will save you iventory space to collect quest items you will need in the future or saved items from players you have killed
it's same value as money in other games such as WoW etc, its currency you need to obtain better gear and do quests
it's hardcore shooting game where the goal is to have the best gear and make as many raids as possible with it and making profit in the meantime, often you might be very well geared and die to a headshot from mosin loosing it all 😄
this will also help you understand some other stuff about armor and so on https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/570624452220420115/573619468513706093/info96.jpg

scav npcs are scarier than people tbh

Just to be clear I'm not trying to make money I just get lucky quite often and get some good gear to use in other maps
But then I get shot in the head

What low level weapons are people running these days? I just reinstalled and the traders are a bit different from the last time I played, the wipe before the Mosin was added.
simple pendant
mosin, pistols mostly
sacred sage
I've been trying the Mosin and it's been working OK. It feels so much better than it used to, having a chance against geared players if I play carefully.
better than using an AK-74u with Tracers, that is

SKS and Vepr 136 are also decent choices.

do you have any tips for just fighting scavs in general? like is there a way to kill one but not aggro any that are nearby or something?
simple pendant
@pastel comet scavs hear shots near them or hits in their vicinity. So killing one while the next one doesn't trigger is not that easy
pastel comet
I was asking the same question to one of my friends, he says that they like to lock on to where you last peaked. any way to take good advantage of that when backed into a corner or would I have to just book it to the next cover in that sort of situation?

unique patio
yea?
wide jacinth
Weapon durability... is that the indicator does my weapon needs a repair
unique patio
If it gets really low, yeah it might need to be repaired. But for the most part, youll be repairing armor/helmets, etc. I haven't had to repair a gun yet this season, but, I'm sure if you survive with a specific gun long enough you might have to repair it
unique patio
😃 good luck
wide jacinth
Lol no need 😂
I will suck anyway
At least at the begining
Any tips how could i diferentiate a scav from pmc
I just played like a scav and everybody gangbanged me after i shot our guy
unique patio
Its really hard, but if you go in as a scav, other scavs wont shoot you unless they are 'player scavs' like you are. Usually you can tell players by their movement, scavs walk in straight lines, sit in one spot for a little bit, the usually talk outloud (though players can too if they want to, just kinda rare)
PMC players, always have distinct clothing , BEAR has black shirt, with short sleeves, USEC has green camo shirt & green pants So camo sleeves = USEC player, Black sleeves = Bear player.
Scavs look more civilian, and if you look at the name of who killed you in the screen that comes up after, if you get killed by someone with name Vladimir Sputnik , its prob a scav who killed you, but if you get killed by someone named Killa123, its a player.
Ive been playing since the beggining of this season (well two weeks into the start of the season), and I still have a hard time telling them apart. I just know when I go in as PMC, I have to shoot everything. If I go scav, I just shoot things that move like players.
bold kernel
If I upgrade to left behind, will I lose all my stuff?
unique patio
no
bold kernel
Or all my stuff in my alpha container
unique patio
in the alpha container yeah
most likely
but i would take the stuff out of the alpha container
and sell the container before upgrading
and when you upgrade, youll get a message on the bottom right that allows you to put everything you get extra into your stash
bold kernel
Oh
unique patio
I sold my alpha container before I upgraded, just for the little bit of extra cash

@unique patio thanks for this extensive explanation mate, i appreciate it

ur money resets when u go to reset ur profile to receive ur upgraded version of the game
unique patio
you dont have to reset ur profile to upgrade anymore
you dont get 400k rubles + 400K rubles again
but you dont have to reset
if you get 400k on the base version, and 600k on the special version you just get the 200k difference
crisp elm
so if u go to alpha to gamma u still keep ur $? cuz i had to reset to get my gamma container
unique patio
I didnt have to.

I upgraded mine about 2 weeks ago, and I kept everything I already had
I was told to sell my alpha container before I got my gamma, so I did, and I had no issues

I found mine in : The Factory building south of the smokestacks. It will spawn in a blue locker that is located on the northern wall of the building.

I’ll check those later

You can check the dead scav on the couch, or if you walk past him, there are blue lockers, , key can spawn in there
bold kernel
I have no idea what the factory building south of smokestacks is tbh but ye.
Warehouse next to silos is the equivalent of what you mean?

theres a map
On the far right are the smoke stacks.
In the factory buildinding furthest south close to the smoke stack

Does anyone have up-to-date info on Tarkov Shooter Pt.1?

Is there any point of carying money into raids
unique patio
Kill 15 Scavs over 50 meters away with a Mosin rifle without a scope (I believe this is correct)
bold kernel
Nah not really Ujka.
unique patio
in some maps, some extractions (which appear at random) will require $$ to extract
bold kernel
I would use mosin infantry.
shut onyx
I'd also like to use that, just not sure if it'll count the kills.
unique patio
customs I know has an extraction near dorms that can occasionally require 3000 rubles, usually if you see ??? next to the extract location, that means you have to meet certain requirements to use that extraction
bold kernel
Yeah.
unique patio
try it out shifted, you can check your progress after you get some kills to see if its counting
bold kernel
zb1012 on customs says you ??? When I extracted but I never extracted there so that’s probably@why
shut onyx
Guess I'll have to try, just hoped someone knew for sure. Thanks either way.
unique patio
oh yeah, scavs dont, sorry, thought you meant in general ujka
@bold kernel , yeah it doesn't have ??? by it, then it shouldn't have any requirements needing to be met. So far thats the only one Ive had to pay for to extract, but I believe there are others.

If anyone wants to know I’m a level 7 almost 8 used nooooooobbbb

“APS”, just search automatic pistol on the flea market
I killed a fully geared guy so easily on factory and I’m in love now
So if anyone needs a cheap gun to use, use that, I might start using a@suppressor
If anyone has any other cheap gun reccomendation HMU cuz I need it (I know about the mosin)

depending on the word "cheap" the P226 with AP will destroy
bold kernel
Also what ammo type should I use for the APS
thick path
that runs 9x18 correct?
coral wedge
Armour piercing

AP is the new ammo
9x18 the PSO and Pst are normally really good
one is great against flesh the other against armor... cant remember which. brb let me check
Pst is for armor. pso on flesh
bold kernel
Yeah I was presuming that
thick path
best advice youll ever get is if you dont have to ads... dont. learn how to point-shoot. that 0.5secs it takes to ads is the difference between loot and the death screen
offline mode on factory for pistols/subs/ars customs offline for long rifles and semis

@bold kernel
Since you never intend to lose your gun, I suggest investing in a modded glock
If you want to use a pistol

And use AP 6.3
