i had a front sight already mounted on my cobra mount and like a noob i haven’t noticed that hahahahaha
my bad 😄
actually i’ve maked fit also with a TT 10000 rail
hey!, is there an easy way to get the 12 scav kills in woods?
I'm doing it right now
And I don't think so
I'm just going in with a single gun and a balaclava and running for logging to pick up one of the ones that roam around there
oh ok, thanks anyways man
@nimble iris you mean the mount slot on the elcan? currently no use, thats why its not on the wiki
I be stalking woods looking like some chris brown mfer
Scavs fear me
For I have nothing to lose
@frosty surge easiest way is just take an SKS, the lvl1 prapor sks a handful of PS rounds, no gear just the gun a small amount of meds and the clava, when you spawn just rush the spawn zones. no one keeps the standard SKS as you can't mod it much so you always get it back
taking gear into woods is not worth it, so many snipers its just a waste unless you have a sniper also
Why take meds?
Keep your container empty, rush logging and hit the the three huts.
I'm making money on every death cause my container is full of weapon parts and money
treat it kinda like a hatchling run
but your goal is also kill a scav or two
labs keycards need meds to escape, better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it
Just throw the keycard in your alpha/gamma etc?
Does someone have some good places to farm money
It's not huge bucks
But if you rush pier boat on shoreline
And take both safes
you can make some quick cash.
I tend to take a pistol, go in the dark. Kill a scav and extract with his crap and the safe/computer parts.
Ok, should I then also just check gas station?
instead of sks i use a mosin, is the sks better?
sks is better for scav killin
mosin's will take down decked players
But is slower to shoot
so more skill requiring
I prefer SKS once I unlock the OP-SKS and Tapco chassis.
But until then, Mosin all the way
@formal anvil You can also farm Interchange by hitting OLI, electronics stores and the military areas. Not bad loot there.
Ok, ty
An SKS in the right hands can kill anyone tbh
Most come with PS ammo and Ps has really good Penetration
PS has okay penetration
Eh
good way to earn a lot of cash? im kinda stuck on around 300k - 400k at all times because of quests
i like your pfp
also, as beginner, scav runs on inter. or not even as beginner, overall scav runs on inter
thank you. I appreciate it
Also don’t waste gear on quests
also dont listen to shoot
what i have been doing for quests like the picnic one on woods is just doing scav runs then using that gear for the balaclava kills
also

yeet
Quests are just a money sink
that is true
that 'Delivery from the past' quest is so annoying because as I go to to place the case and some guy with a beefed up M4A1 just rushes me
Night that shit
ok
One server night take the cheap green nvgs from skier and a pistol or kedr
Just lack the rep?
I haven't run any raid with a groupe yet, any tips for my first time?
Don’t join randos
^
im not enjoying this interchange scav thing
i finally get to mantis and i get one tapped
wouldnt go mantis
better just go through the tech stores, theres enough good stuff and theres, in my experience, almost nothing in mantis
also go through the parking lot and loot weapon crates
ok thank you
Extra tip for Interchange: if you don't have good gear, avoid the center line. Lots of chances for Killa and people running Kiba
Some ppl encourage that.
I just run gearless, hit tech stores, put stuff in container, dc
for interchange at least
Disgusting.
^ how not to play the game
I hear so many people asking how to make momey. Its crazy. They give you free stuff on scav. If you wanted to, you could scav in then extract...
best interchange tactic
wait till 10 mins left
go to kiba and loot the masses of bodies for rfuck tons of loot
disgusting
anyone able to help me through some raids to get to level 5? 😃
EU
I'm EU, was gonna do some woods runs for scav kills
im not very good
no worries
I've got some good loot runs on shoreline we can do
gimmie like
10-15 mins
Okay 😃
Can someone put up the AN/PEQ tactical device on the flea market, I can't buy it from the traders :(
Am I blind
Where is the hotkey for changing how you "put into available slot" loot?
Like ctrl+left click or alt+left click?
If you have gamma just shove an avs and the hat and a gun in it
what
!ballistics
are keys lost on use?
Nope, keep them in your secure container
yah I have em in the key tool in my gamma
where can i buy a bigger secured container ? im fairly new, so it will take me about 1-2 months to get the Beta from a Trader and i cant find any on the flea market
2x2 is just too small
thanks. Nah, not for me. I've been playing for 2 weeks and am only lvl13
Veteran Player. Will take a newbie with me for a bit. Hit me up.
just bought game a day ago
Finally you did
👌
i dont know what to bring in because i am scared i am going to die and lose it all what do i do?
looking for a player who knows what hes doing to lead me and teach me
@low stone
Don't be scared, just don't over kit yourself. If you die, such is life in the zone. Kit up and do it again.
@low stone you can bring nothing. its harder but not impossible. find a gun laying on a body or in a box/case. find bullets. get a feel for map... Or gear up and play offline until you can handle basics.
how long till next wipe?

how can you tell the difference between a normal scav and a player scav?
movement
npcs like to not hide behind cover and walk around like a moron
players tend to hide and murder you
KK
is EoD worth and what real price of upgrade from standard edition for eu player? (i know vat is different in each country. we have 21%)
i really enjoy it. i am noobing most time but getting better.
You could just get the next edition
But I think you’d end up paying more in taxes that way
@rocky trellis
If you really want to upgrade, wait for a sale. The savings usually end to basically getting rid of Tax.
Ok. I will wait.
Learn in offline mode. Then offline with scavs on. You will get to know the maps. Learn how to kill scavs @pulsar rock
Play on horde with tagged and cursed on
Wiki my dude
on the pages of all maps, there are maps with extractions, loot etc
in offline mode can you gain or lose anything?
^
k ty
Tagged and cursed mode will make you learn faster
tagged and cursed will make you cry
Lies
what tagged and cursed do except they will go after you?
Basically you’re gonna die
i have to try it 😄
Yeah it will make you
much faster
wats the difference between roubles and dollars
oo
Roubles for the rest
wat r document cases used for what do they carry
And a few traders have a few things for euros
Doc case is a 2x1 that opens to a 4x4
Holds money and keys
k
money, keys, maps, keycards and usb sticks
keycards are for the map Lab and you need 2 usb sticks for a quest
ok
what
anyway to upgrade the alpha container without real money?
Yeah wouldn’t want to get banned
Beta from peacekeeper
Epsilon from punisher task line
Kappa after all tasks are done
Find some one selling a gamma
Etc
okey
How much are gammas and where can i buy them? ive seen people say that they're buyable but i cant find any
Because someone needs to say they’re selling
@ornate furnace you need to buy from players
is there a way to upgrade ur stash?
any tips for levelling up?
@pulsar rock Currently buy the pricer versions of the game.
But with the next patch you'll be able to do a quest line
to get increase it
@serene tendon Run PMC runs, live a long time. Loot/travel/kill a lot.
thanks
ok
if you go into labs and you die does your keycard go away
really?
yes
what's biggest container btw?
for @rocky trellis
Kappa
my fov slider isnt changing my fov, anyone know a fix?
relaunch?
i've never seen that issue.
hey im really struggling to complete the mission checking for prapor... i get the watch but always die. is there anyway to buy the pocket watch?
ah so i must get out with it huh

Got 3 players with good gear ready to play terra labs, anyone got experience playing it wanna help out?
Define good gear

Decent but no suppressor tho
Shoot did u sleep even
anyone trying to help me with tasks?
i gotta do the one for prapor were i take it docs from customs and secure it in factory
I am selling the mp133 shotguns to prapor and it’s not goin towards the quest ??
Yeah you need to turn them on the quest tab
you dont need to sell them
items to look for when scav running interchange? manly I loot idea and oli, sometimes techlight
anybody want some free keys? gas station pumping, two car keys and a machinery key?
anyone know a date for next wipe?
k ty
all good, np m8
Hello I just downloaded the game and it gives me black screen as soon as I launch the game and loading screen ends, anyone knows a fix?
@bold kernel if you have technical problems you have to go in #community-support
Not necessarily a noob but I haven't touched the game in months
Could use help with leveling up traders
Meet the requirements of money spent (both buying and selling), do quests to get points into this other thing ( i have no clue) and get to a certain lvl @obtuse scroll
Quests for Rep
Money spent and sold
Your level
@delicate kraken click heads and loot good items
also never use bad ammo if you wana kill a geared boi
click feet if you dont have good ammo and they a geared boi doe
chonky boi go sleepy sleep when i clicky feet
any upgrade of game means wipe?
your inventory does not get wiped if you upgrade
should i trade my tetris for bitcoin
yes
ok
if your planning on selling it use the flea market not therapist
ok
you dont get wiped but you wont get your new bundle goodies until you reset or the wipe
No, no.
You don't have to Reset to get your stuff from an Upgrade.
and having EOD doesn't make you immune to the patch wipes.
when next wipe uwu xd

question about missions: If there's a mission that involves finding a location (ie Hidden Water) in this case, and I successfully "find" it, but then I die on the way out....Part 2 of the mission is to survive and extract Customs. Can I simply do just that now, or do I have to reopen the location before extracting again
SOON is nikitas new fucking trademark xd
Not just Niki. 8V
yes you can just extract
@gusty ibex as long as you have found it the next time you extract the task will be completed
bruh why do i have gear fear in waves like 20 mins ago i just took out my m4 and now i cant take out a pp19
i hav brain dameg
Drain Bamige
Braid damage-amage-amage
If you want easy gear, go woods night time with nvgs, a big backback, and a supressed scoped mosin. Snipe scavs like its duck hunt and leisurely walk to extract.
@solemn rampart how much money do you think on average that strategy makes per run
Id make anywhere from 150k-300k, its low threat, easy gear to get, and low cost ammo. I like it since i dont know labs well yet.
@golden mantle ^^^^
I just hoard all the scavs guns. If it shoots lead, shove it in yo bag.
anyone willing to help a fella out in game
D: when is .12
no one knows
idk just dont have in game problems
The engine isn't bad
the spaghetti code and netcode that's barely holding itself together is
No it doesn't.
The engine is just a base, the garbage code is what makes the game a thing.
The Netcode though, maybe. Cause you can usually buy pre-made netcodees, but I haven't looked at any packages in basically forever.
Unless you looked at their codebase you have no idea if its the engine or code 😐
because Unity Engine Is Buggy!
uh huh
I mean, it's not hard to decompile some of the resource libraries and see how bad it is.
Unity is a super solid engine, the source of a few of the problems with Tarkov is resource management and minor memory leaks.
Unneeded resource calls, not pre-loading certain assets, stuff like that.
Though I say bad, i mean bad in a vacuum, not bad overall.
Even if you do decompile a resource library all you get is a resource script ..
that wont tell you anything
xD
what games typically do is custom archive files
do some maps give better loot than others? i always see people playing other maps like customs and shoreline and they get guns like HK's and MPX but i play woods and always get like hunting guns and shit
and sometimes you do a quick scav run in customs, cause all your gear is hopefully with the insurance man, and you just want to grab some cheap guns and backpacks for your next run, and a mobile walking level 37 loot pinata shows up in your pistols sights

is getting over gear fear pretty much just saying fuck it in every situation and pushing because you want to have fun?
getting over gear fear took me a wipe. Essentially I lost millions on millions of roubles worth of gear at wipe and this wipe i said fuck it... why hold onto all that shit? might as well use it, W key people and lose it in a fun way
It also takes establishing a good farming route. I know if I run my usual labs run, I can survive 1/3 times, or 2/3 if i'm really slow and careful, and make gear back pretty easily
so losing gear becomes kinda 
Hello all. Do I need to complete the tasks with PMC or can I do it with a SCAV?
@coral cape Depends
If you have to get some containers and stuff? Then you have to go PMC
If you need to find like, loot items, like cigarettes and soo. Scavs will do too
@soft rose
but yeah makes sense man. First time playing so just getting used to uit
Oh ok. Need to analyse some gas at Factory. And I need a GasAnalyzer, so I need to equip this.
And I ned to kill 15 SCAVs at Customs. Can I do with a SCAV?
enjoy the gear fear while you can. i miss it tbh @covert sonnet my discord dm's are open if you ever need someone to run you through a few runs. i work a bunch but i'm always open to help
Got it. Thank you.
Gear fear is real. 😦
I have a beautiful, complete Ak.. afraid to use it. 😂
so, I've gotten used to Customs map. But the next mission from Propor is in Woods, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how not to die on that map
@coral cape when you lose a few and you gain a few you'll eventually get over it. Literally the cure for gear fear is dying and losing the gear lmao
My gear fear went away after I kept playing offline mode u should try it iss fun
Dogtag cases are soo expensive. 😮
bruh is there any way to remove the little green thing on the handbook without clicking through everything
oh
you just click it
im an idiot
dum dum
yes
I’m not exactly a beginner, but I’ve found myself almost out of roubles and I need a really cheap load out to run that might net me something high value, what should I run?
Should I just grab like a P226 or something?
I am new been running sneaky beaky mosin build
just the gun and some ammo in my pouch
How much?
I run with like 15 shots, if you miss your shot you dead 😛
so keep that in mind
yeah
depend on price diffrence between LPS and 7N1
Lps 190 and 7n1 260 a piece
yeah I probably go with Lps, 7n1 isn't that much better I believe
is there anything anywhere that tells you after a raid is concluded if any of your insured gear made it, and how long it will be, or is that hidden except for the basic 24-36 hours when you insure?
and you just find out what made it once the timer is up?
Also, if you insure gear, then drop it on the ground, then successfully extract, if noone picks it up do you still get it, or do you need to die?
You get it even if you survive... And no you dont know what will get back... Only the stuff nobody grabbed
if i go labs offline will my keycard go away
No
Srimp is good glock is good enough too
So if someone could help me out, that would be awesome. I've been on and off following tarkov for a long time, though I've had a lot of trouble dedicating myself to playing it because I guess... i suck lmao. I have no goals, I have no idea where I should go on each map, I don't know how to approach different combat situations, etc. I just need to be shown the ropes. I love the game so much, but each wipe just losing everything and never gaining anything gets really frustrating.
best shoreline keys?
Hi I'm just installing the game for the first time, any helpful tips for when I first play?
get started on factory its the best to learn the basics
@strong stone i can play a few raids with ya if youd like
yeah but its complex as shit
btw what editon did you get?
Standard for now
I will in a sec
@strong stone a lot of voice acting, cinematic cutscenes, and 4k textures makes the game big in GB. This game has only some voice acting and no super large textures, thats what makes it 12 gb. Dont get fooled tho, the game is really complex as mechanics, beautiful and sometimes pretty hardcore.
@opaque mirage btw imo Customs is the best starter map. Factory is a fast meatgrinder, he might get scared 😃
true customs is a slower start in my opinion i started in factory and it threw me right in the action and it got me used to the game
I meant for such a complex game it's great how they managed to condense it all into only 12gb
@opaque mirage true. Factory and Labs are the most DM like maps, but i think are not suitable for someone who doesn`t even know the movement mechanics of the game.
And knowing how to move and sneak properly in Factory is mandatory, if you`re not the rusher suicidal type ofc
What's best for a complete beginner to the game?
The is no "best"
depends on how you play
Everything is brutal
either way your fucked.
Yea
What will help me get used to it?
But you should learn to move properly first
customs for the start then once you get used to the mechanics go factory
A larger map, with better player spread
So you don`t die in the first 45 seconds, witch is higly likely in Factory
mhm me and a 5 man mowed down some poor pistoling the other day and i still feel bad
Customs, Shoreline can be played in a more chill way
shoreline/labs are ultimate money makers
yep most people rush resort for that sweet cash
Yup
And nubies rush port for the 2 safes
Nobody goes luxory villas these days, easyest way to get loot without any danger
they never have shit in em
2-3 scavs and that`s it
In port there are 3 metal lockers and 2 safes, that`s some serious chance of decent loot
every time ive gone there theres tape and like 1000 roubles
Bad luck 😃
What gun do you recommend when I start on customs?
fucking just starting
Auto, semi or bolt action do you prefer?
all you got is some makarovs and baby dick aks
For auto, go for PP-19-01 Vityaz (Prapor trader), for semi go SKS (Skier trader), for bolt action, go Mosin Inf. rifle (prapor)
mosin is STILL fucking broken
Or just any pistol, but be sure to headshot with it
Mosin is the poorman`s railgun in this game
it has a high shance of 1-tapping bots and players with up to lvl 3 armor with the basic ammo
and with 7n1 you can even one tap (around 25% chance) a guy in gen4 (lvl 5 armor)
or 2 tap everything with snb ammo
its fucking nutty
Yup
In about 5 mins we can go to a raid someware if you want, I can teach you some basics.
My game has 20 mins left to install and thankyou that would be greaT
Ok, 20 mins are ok, for me. Where are you located btw?
Ok
mind if i hop in that
If Deathclaw's alright with it go for it
Also what factions are there and what would you recommend?
It`s allright
USEC and BEAR go USEC as they speak english
The more the marrier
There is a ingame voce comm system USEC speak English, BEAR speak Russian
Cxmeron the most powerthing youll have to overcome is "gear fear"
What's that lmaqo
That and the appearance is the only difference
its the fear of losing your good gear
When you die in combat you lose all your gear, so some players are afreaid to go in with expensive gear because they might lose it.
But good gear brings you high survival chance
i bring out shit like this because im to afraid to loose my gen4s and Fast MT's and shit like that
Using a T6 bodyarmor that costs 245k on the market is not gear fear 😃
@opaque mirage thats pretty cost ineffective setup friend. Id use T3 armor with that, and the 6b47 helmet with it. I use yours only if I want to attach fast-mt side armor with chin protection and NVG-s on it.
i could give a shit about the cost
I`m just saying you should not pair T3 helmet without face protection with T6 armor, you know T6 is preeeety expensive
And it`s a great loss of funds if you die by simple shotgun faceshot
its a T3 armor...
no i understand it does look like the zhuk 6
I mistook it for the zhuk 6 armor 😦
Good setup, sorry again.
I didn`t enlarge the picture...
Walther is ok
You can use cheap EKP from Prapor 10k
And change targeting aimpoint to tryangle
It`s bearable
triangle*
i fucking hate that thing its a nice optic but i cant see shit in it
use second or third one
first one is suitable only for night raids
Or the fourth one, but it`s hard to headshot distant targets
Elcan it is
HDD or SSD?
HDD
Ok, it`s gonna take up to 5 mins
yeah i got an HDD too i need to upgrade dat shit
Ffs
It will be sooner, don`t worry 😃
You can both come [Trio] Golph so we can voicechat
SSD-s are a lot cheaper now. You can literally buy an 120 gb SSD for 20$
@strong stone you still around?
lol
So I feel a bit dumb asking this. When is the next wipe?
When it's ready, according to the devs.
Ah, so the forever Soon(tm)

Atleast this patch isn't as bad as i've been waiting for mount and blade bannerlord
We don't talk about that.
With how long it's been, unless it's perfect, the games gonna disappoint.
if any new people need help dm me i'm free for a while
So I sold an item and recieved roubles for it. How do I add the roubles into my bank?
or do I have to convert it to USD
@night coral
Once you drag it into your inventory, it'll be added to your total funds.
Oh, So It is there as physical copy and it was added to my bank. Cool thanks!
Anyone got any spare maxbox, med box or a kiba key?
You looking to buy or for handouts?
can i get a handout thanks love you
8V
wait if someone drops you a beta or something and you put it in your pouch slot and die do you lose it
What stuff should I keep in the box what only I can access on my character
At what point should i start getting good at the game? im level 10 now and have killed very few pmcs (no geared ones)?
As long as it takes.
Should i be starting to spend my money on weapon mods?
Whenever you believe in your self
I've killed garbage 40s, and gotten killed by good 10s.
yeah but getting stable is the hard part now
I understand that.
The little free time I have I spend just offline mode trying to learn maps and exfils
So far I know woods really well, and am starting to learn customs. . . I'm lv 6 btw

I randomly got damage and died, no one was shooting at me, just my character groaning
I was in cover too
desync
Any tips for a new player on what map to learn first or some other helpful tips are appreciated 😄
@bold kernel Thank you 😃
👌🏼
@chrome mauve I would say learn customs first, because that is the map where you will be the most early on. After that I would recommend Shoreline and Woods
hello my friend, red key card how rare? me go over 30 raid no luck
very rare
if you are good in ccc than go to factory
if you have a flashlight do it in the night
so, just throwing this into this chat, as I just realized this this morning, if you drag a weapon in to a Dealer's trade window, they are just buying the weapon. They don't increase the purchase price to include all the mods on it... so... yeah...
I just tried it though? dragging an mosin into sell is 12591, I take all the attachments off, put it back in... still 12591
same for Hunter... same for an AKM...
the higher armor class the better?
ok, followe up question
some helmets don't have armor class at all
like the LZSh light helmet
just lots of hit points
oh nvm
I am stupied
it just shows in a diffrent place than the other ones
a little drop down menu thing
best ways to level up for a beginner
Does anyone know where i can buy a cheap beta or epsilon off a player
You can't get a cheap Epsilon, but you can get someone to buy you a beta if you front the money.
You also can get an Epsilon from another player, depends on what you define as cheap
Really have no idea how much cases are, how much would you sell one for it you were to do it for "cheap"
Betas from lvl4 PK are 5.4k USD
can you use slugs on spa tour part 1?
-and last time I saw a Epsilon for sale it was like 10m roubles or something like that
and Yes
can you still trade 4 clocks for armor?
Yup.
Need help getting some money msg me
Pls help me get money I beg
I’m giving up on this game xx
@marble gyro
The game isn't difficult friend, you just need to take your raids slow and always be near some sort of cover.
Can u help me out ?
Like guide me
Because I just rlly taught myself how to play
But I always run out of money
im new too, just do some scav runs if your super broke
can anyone take me under their wing for a bit? this game gets frustrating so someone who actually knows what their doing could maybe help me some
@tranquil elbow Do you know the Sherpa system?
@tranquil elbow https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/sherpa/
Sherpas are veteran players who help beginners
It's an official support and help system for newcomers
There you can ask, also in here
Let me help you, whats your native language? They are from different regions
i found the sherpas
Make sure you always put your discord name and simple ID in the message so they can find you
system is sorta broken tho so sherpas dont work
@tranquil elbow What's the issue?
Is it possible at all to invite a friend In a CO OP Lobby with just me and him against A.I?.~
you cant fit a name and discord number into nickname
Nope, not possible about the coop
yet they can't find you without a number for discord and my name and number is 16 digits
Just leave It blank and put It on the message, last box
Or select other method but put your discord name in the final box again
how do i know what class/level helmets are?

@fresh garden to have evidence if someone is toxic
would someone inviting you to a group in the menu and then killing you once you spawn be toxic?

hey guys its time i did that quest polikhim hobo or something for Prapor i kinda dont have any room for failure
killing scavs is chill but i can never seem to find more than 5 on customs
Start of the map, there's usually 2-3 at the military check point
Dorms obviously will have a few, same with Gas Station
Customs Office seems barren at first, but once you get into a gunfight they'll start appearing from all over
that quest was nightmare fuel for me. when i was doing the prior one for the customs key/hard drive the scavs were everywhere, when i had to kill them they suddenly couldn't be bothered to spawn
wait wtf i lose rep
dam i really dont have room for failure
i was just saying that cuz i was broke
Could anyone rate my m4 mod please? Im bad at it and Im not sure if I modded it well
post it in #weapon-modding
done
I've been stuck on skier's flashdrive quest for a few days now without finding any flashdrives on woods, what is the best way to complete this quest
Oh wow
I thought you had to find them in-raid, thanks a lot!
@quartz bone
You wanted someone to rate your M4. Since this depends on taste and preferences, I would give it a low rating. Suppressing recoil doesn´t make that much of a difference, but low ergonomics do, since this stat affects how long you can hold this weapon in ADS mode and how fast you can go ADS. 70 Ergo is good, anything below can be considered “slow/heavy” to me. You could improve this by adding a different pistol grip and by going down to a 30-round mag. M4´s have a bolt-catch (very fast reload), high cap magazines can be avoided by doing a speed reload if you are in need. But if you use the proper ammo and tactic, you won´t need to reload to kill 3 heavily decked guys. M995 is the ammo you should go for and you don´t want to push too much of your money through that already expensive barrel of an M4, do you?
But besides that, the rest is fine. That silencer comes cheap and it´s muzzle break gives you some extra accuracy points which is a great choice when you want to hit stuff on larger distances. That buttstock is also fine. I use to say everyone that modding the shit out of a weapon, won´t create a totally different gun, so take my advice with a grain of salt, since most of the modding won´t change much. What does make real differences is picking the right sight for the right job to acquire the target fast or precisely. As well as the ammo you put into these things since EFT isn´t realistic in terms of ballistic and armor, but it´s balanced and therefore you need to use certain ammo to overcome certain stuff or else you feel like you´re firing paintballs. That can too be considered to be EFT´s RPG elements.
I hope my rating was satisfying to you. 

How do I go about buying new containers off people? You cant buy them off fleamarket and the trading subreddit is gone
Is it also possible to buy a gamma that way?
Dont have enough atm but was just wondering
Okay cool ty 😃
Yesterday I was going to quit tarkov (im lvl 9) ive had such a good day today because im no longer scared to spend my money on armour/mods
also sticking with one particular gun and getting used to it really helps
@split vapor whats your best method?
@half knot I can help you get some money if you want.
Thanks
Can we have a F in chat for my money making guide that just disappeared
Really though why was it deleted
My strats where just too secret i guess and its gone :/
Hi, I finnaly have PC which can handle EFT in sufficient FPS and I wish to try playing the game. But I am still scarry of losing all my loot and idk what I should do as my first steps in game. Any advices? I am lvl 1
Start offline to learn the maps
once you think you learn the maps do scav runs for a bit
so you can get antiquated with what players do and get some loot as well
Ok, which map do you recomend for start?
Intechange has an insane amount of loot if you take your time to look for it, and requires basically no keys to make a profit
The exits are also easy, one on opposite corners of the map
If you want to do an outdoorsey kind of map then customs will do fine
Customs has a lot of early game tasks so youll have to play it to progress regardless so yeah
It's kind of a high risk map though, not that much loot without keys and a lot of players
Intercharge can be dangerous for newcomers, cause uncle Kila
Not really, just avoid the middle hallway
That way you avoid Killa as well as Kiba campers
Getting his walk pattern can be hard for new player
Customs would be the best 1st map really
It has open zones, closed areas, cqc
Forrests, you got bit of every scenario here
Ok, thanks. I ll try it. Any other advices?
Dont rush, try to move from cover to cover
Dont stay in the open, and shoot when you are sure you will kill
So you wont blow your cover and avoid dying if you are first to spot target
If target is armored, go for legs
Also loot bodies only if you are sure its clear, not right after killing
@misty quartz offline is available. test guns. find scav spawns. loot container locations. extracts.
how do you mod an m4 to have a side scope
anyone tryna play with someone whos new to the game
@arctic egret Methods for money for me:
Interchange: Hit them tech stores eZ pZ
Shoreline: Buy keys like : East: 310,328.226. West: 218
Labs: Hide in the bathrooms at hanger side and wait till everything gone and kill scavs / loot, easy money
Factory: Scav in for some eZ free loot!
Woods: Fuck that map lol woods is gay haha wtf is that map?
that was what i posted
it got removed
probably will get deleted again lel
Why does it always seem like armor and helmets do literally nothing for me yet save other scav/PMCs from entire mags. Like i think the most ive been saved from is maybe two shots before i drop dead. Really feels like theres no point whatsoever in armor until you can get to killa or labs
what armor
Happens with everything. Like i dont expect AR1-2 to do anything really even against a PM or something. But Paca or the one you get from trading with ragman i think it is youd expect at least a couple shots protection before having to worry about dying. like i understand AP ammo and everything but a para scav two tapping my chest with rank 3 or 4 armor? thats abit of a giggle
Scavs too though? Coz just as often as its geared PMCs its some random player scav with a para or 133
Maybe im just getting unlucky and having them hit the sides of my torso or something, Still makes it feel like a waste of time getting anything under gen4 or FORT
the 9mm submachine gun. the plinky lil one
not the kedr the other common scav SMG. i forget what its called in game. and yea i figured shotguns at least shred the armor quick plus only one pellet needs to actually hit your head,
Oh saiga 9
that one ye
It has ammo to pen class 2 tops, unless you get AP 6.3
see thats what im saying, ill be rocking around class 3 or 4 and get plinked by that in two shots
im probably just getting really unlucky then 🤷
It is unfortunate very often, and you may re-equip your armor in raid quickly
To avoid desynch where server considers you without armor
but lord it makes it frustrating when i can do better and have more fun with less gear. Take armor die in two shots, dont take armor and im "lucky" enough to survive and get to hobble out with two broken legs gasping for air from a black stomach :L
why cant i get mechanic lvl 2 i have all the req it says
@bold kernel he does not like you
New to game would like someone to teach thats chill
yeah join up @graceful canopy
@urban timber Sure can be. I favour cheap reliable kits that I can run fast and often for quick games. save good gear for bigger squads and attempting larger hauls with bigger bags and rarely items cases... saves money and as money builds just upgrade the class of guns and armour I rely on.
Yea thats what ive been thinking. I regards to saving gear for group runs
mhmm. all about redundency in my stash.
Eh the gear i care little about. Losing gears part of the game really. I just find it abit weird that more risk often equals less reward in terms of what you take in. Like when i can go scav or makarov PMC with no armor or bag and often do better than if i go in fully loaded (make it out more often, with more/better gear and more kills) whats the point in even tryna outfit a m4 and get fort etc
216
what spawns in security post
yea
violet
not security arsenal
posrt
post
@split vapor
is it worth 10 mil
idk
thanks bro
I like Customs. You have option of open areas in the north, but also decent cover/walls between major areas to reduce the amount of places you need to keep an eye on for incoming SCAVs/players
Is there a compass in the game, or do i just wonder?
Just don't engage at the gas station when the scav army is there, and avoid dorms unless you feel like being a twitchy door peeker and still die because someone else is 1000x faster at recognizing pixels at the other end of the hall
mainly stick to the warehouses then
then go to maps
and just always have one of those to peek at to get your bearings until you get the hang of the map, its what I did
that one is the best one for recognizing things at first, and then you can start looking at the other more detailed one for key spawns and dorm room layouts
what are euros worth
Any good cheap build for sks? I enjoy using this gun and it's not expensive.
@rocky trellis Yellow SKS with OKP-7 sight (green). You actually don`t need much more. 😃
@rocky trellis run BP ammo for 7.62 so you can take out geared playas
TechnoRift
Thanks.
hey guys, my account is level 3 or something and i haven't played since the last update. since we are quite far into the update now and average levels are 30-40 what's the best course of action i can take to be competitive and rise fast?
sad music intensifies
no worries
What? You don't enjoy getting headshots with loudest gun they could find while sneaking in factory? 😂
Have they confirmed anything about what type of wipe itll be? Will be keep trader rep?
can somebody tell me how to shoot the p226?
if I spam the lmb it locks up and shoots slow as fuck
also, kind of new to pistols
yeye
uwu
DVL worth keeping around in my inventory or should I sell the weapon on the flea market?
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Gunsmith_-_Part_5
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page gunsmith part 5 for a direct link or !wiki search gunsmith part 5 for a list of all hits.
here u see everything you might should keep
Thanks. The other question I had- If I run scav, what are some safe/decently good places to loot and run through?
Interchange late into a raid always works for me
Gonna sort out some food
hello is anyone tryna help a newbie scavange interchange 😉
any fix? tried restarting and also tried relogging my account.
what are the best tasks for money?
none
Is sherpa VOIP only for people who requested one, or can beginners also group using it?
Anyone can use it
Nice
Hey if anyone could spend 5-10 minutes swarmed with questions from a new guy to the game please hit me up ! ❤
2 things.
1: @weary edge A+ name, keep shining you crazy diamond
2: @eternal timber Whatcha need b?
@brisk mortar Hey, just some general questions as of how to start getting the hang of the game ( Should i start doing Scav Runs or PMC or what) what weapons should i avoid and what weapons shouldnt i avoid, what should be my first goal starting the game and where do i get the darn maps
Honestly, go into offline mode and experiment with everything you start with.
Hop onto some place like customs or interchange, give yourself plenty of space to work with.
Also if you can help it, avoid Shotguns
as far as maps
Check the Wiki, they've got annotated maps for each stage
!wiki Customs
hi im newb here, wanna team up? im a bit confused
can someone help me
i swear this was possible before
what
that makes no sense but okay
a h
okay
bruh i just want a long boi
dont critique my life choices
any sherpas around
why is there a blind fire left, but not a blind fire right?
Also, there's a wired sound like a fire every time I load onto customs, is anyone else hearing it?
Is the sound rain?
Also it's because the 406mm barrel has a midlength gas system
the 370 has a carbine length one
does the sound continue for more than a few seconds during loading screen?
its constant
sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't
sounds like the gas station on shoreline
Before you spawn in/deploy or while you're actually playing
Is it a common thing for the weather to say rain, and you have the rain sounds, but its actually sunny?
Is there a way to split ammo stacks, so i dont take in 40 7.62x54R?
hold ctrl+lmb when moving stacks
So i have a question. I am level 14 with about 3 mil and just started with my friends help. My friend went away when i was level 9 and since i been only going for kills and being succesful with getting good gear. But i want to learn where to loot and get goods things to get money. So basically i know 3 maps factory, custom and interchange. So can you give me good advice where to loot and where to get money
but it gets camped a lot
oh yeah
to all new players send me a picture of your roubles and your level im giving money to help newbies have fun until wipe!
100mill left to give newbs hmu
Does level 7 and 3.5m count as a newb? 😁
how do folks with lower levels have more rubles than me yikes

Dont spend any money, just scav interchange
So I finally got to Health level 7 and finished the Health Care Privacy - Part 4 task, but it didn't unlock the Private Clinic task like it was supposed to. Any ideas what's wrong? I'm trying to do the Health Care Privacy - Part 5 task to see if they just changed the requirements, but everything I can find says it's supposed to be unlocked after part 4
Update: Just did Part 5 of Healthcare Privacy and still no Private Clinic quest
help
Whats the best ammo for TT pistol
the cheapest one
none of them have penetration worth writing about
honestly if you're pistoling lab, grab the 443 and load it with AP
if you avoid players, you only need to 2 tap kiver visors
@rocky charm Take off the drum sight 😃
"Cannot install both rearsight and B&T at the same time"
Fuck yeet that drum sight
yeah i was trying but idk how to
Alright double click the mp5, and fuckin CTRL+left click that bitch ass drum sight into your inventory
the kill 6pmc's quest is killing me. omfg x.x any advice other than me not sucking? XD
kill 6 with pistols**
Factory -> APB > 6 kills
been trying x.x i get snap-headshot popped as soon as i start to fire every time
i have the rubles to keep trying. but god is it frustrating
Damn.
been trying for a few hours now with no luck. its like they know where i am, without me even moving to begin with at times
sweet i got it
idk if im just bad or what XD
i just had to examine the fucking rear sight
I got a Lab Managers Office key but I'm a really new player who only plays woods, what do I do with it?
Hold onto it. Check price on flea market too. Don't be too tempted to sell it.
just got off my shift on helping people for the next few hours
if I take a second to respond. I am currently in raid
@forest oracle i literally did the pistol quest in 2 raids mane
just use sr1mp wirth armor
do you need help @atomic inlet
anyone wanna team up?
@frosty cosmos in a game right now will be back later
is m80 the best 7.62? Im trying to decide if 61 is better?
Depends on the budget, 61 if you can afford it, 80 if you can't.
M80 will one tap low kit, but get ranked by thicc bois , m61 will always 2 -3 tap.
Tanked **~
M61 also hits higher than m61, so your zeros are more forgiving with center mass holds.
Than m80**
is it here that i am supposed to ask for help bc i am general trash at the game?
Yup, right here bud.
Is pmc ammo 9x19 alright for my mp5?
*pmm
I mean 9x18
One of them just the default ones
AP 6.3 rounds are my favorite for the MP5 or MPX
Yeup
Thx
anyone wanna do some runs with me
PRO TIP
For beginners
Don't bring in your entire backpack stash at once
And lost millinos of roubles in one pistol run
wow rude
XD
still rude
Is there any benefit to ranging sights? For example most reflex sights I use are ranged to 25-50, so to prepare for more general engagements I range to 100m.
But all the streamers I watch don't seem to ever touch it and they obviously do fine.
I haven't been able to find any discussion or YT vids on this, so I was just curious
how do u breach a door??
find a door that's normally unlocked, scroll down, and breach.
also make sure it's facing out from where you are
PRO TIP: (not a pro im ass but it helps)

Anyone up for some factory runs?
where do you find modded weapons in labs
But it requires a key for entry.
Hi Meup
Not for long, busy busy busy.
Yeah, M4s and whatnot.
anyone looking for OCE/SING assistance feel free to PM me. happy to help total noobs or people who just want to get better (lev52 +1500hrs)
is reshade bannable or nah i need a firm answer bc like this game looks like a movie from the 30s
@sonic lake Agreed.
It's not bannable.
Parts will be banned in 0.12, stuff that gives advantage
people will bully you though
People that play EFT will find literally any excuse to bully someone
Dont let that stop you
After fucking around with it myself and looking at how it works, I still maintain that it'd be more work that it really needs to be to ban parts of a external injector instead of just stopping injecting of any sort. That'd also go some way to curb hackers, not stop them, but make it a little harder.
Reshade isn't an injector into the game itself
It connects with the rendering surface
Reshade connects with directx etc
