@bold kernel completing quests I guess
so I'm doing the mission where you got to get some docs from the customs terminal. I know I have to extract with them to get them. Afterwards I need to drop them off at factory, what happens if I die in factory ?
Do I have to go back to customs?
oof alright
thanks
@lone tartan I did it by getting the docs via hatchling runs
Then having me and some decked friends go into factory full geared
And fighting our way to the room
Do any of the variable zoom scopes (the long range optics, not the assault scopes) have a working variable magnification?
I bought an Optical scope March Tactical 3-24x42 FFP @crude wolf, however, l alt & rmb does nothing
That scope doesnβt have variable zoom
The big hint is where you get the slash mark on it such as the valday
1x/6x
3-24 does designate variable magnification as far as real scopes go, though
You can even see the zoom ring on the model
I guess not implemented in tarkov yet @crude wolf
Well rip
yup lol
question whats the fastest ways to level skills? (or most efficient) and what are the best ways to level them?
@inland hound youtube
check it
but grinding skills is usually poointless
sure, it gives you better stats, but they do not magke you significantly better
i see i wasnt sure if having a higher search skill would make searching faster
it doesnt
ah okay
max level search skill enables you to search 2 bags at the same moment
but thats it
and tbh it wont save you.
Just play the game. Play smart.
i see
skills on max level have some huge advanagtes, but you won't get a instant win button with it
and it takes many hours of grinding
which gets wiped the next big patch
no point in doing it
yea i understand, any news on when the next wipe is?
0.12
date wise?
it was annouced that it will be a gentle wipe (stash+character level + skills), but i think it will be a full wipe
no date annocued but i would say 4-6 weeks
yeah
whats differentce between soft wipe and full wipe?
but imho theres no point in grinding the skills or even trader level/quests at the moment
full wipes everything, soft wipes only char level and stash i think
tbh a full wipe for me is the same as soft wipe, you have to grind your character level again
thats what i was gonna say
yeah
its not much a difference
but as i said, i wouldnt grind quests/levels at the moment anymore
just make money, as scav or pmc, buy your things from flea market. Many things are cheaper anyways
yea thats what ive been doing atm just thought id ask
do tracer rounds do anything other than reveal ur location
its helps teammates locate your contact
ok so its kinda bad
people honestly dont pay attention to tracers that much
ok
they still cant see the broadside of a barn
they cant see for shit
k thx
tracer rounds give your location away
what's a good server to go on primarily loot runs with little contact with other people?
depends on your location
anyone down to help a new player?

So what is Sherpa?
Iβm having trouble learning the layouts and locations of the game, Iβm having to depend off everyone I play with to give me directions and then to get killed cus I didnβt know where I was going, can anyone link me a video or something showcasing the entire map and stuff, callouts arenβt important to me I just need to know where things are and how to extract so I can play on my own if I wanted
The only one I know is factory
tons of offline, google the map and youtube to find how the extract looks like
at least, customs and woods are easy to learn, imo
@misty moat just look up eft maps, you can find a link that will take you to a website that has multiple maps for every location. They are interactable as in you can zoom in n out.
what the hell is the deal with the fucking installation errors
i've had to re-install the game like 5 or 6 times
The installation servers been taking a hard dump for the past month or so.,
so will patch 12 add some penalty for scav on scav violence? π
bruh i hate this make ultra great again quest
keep getting tapped by pistolings because i have nO HelMET
Any tips on getting an in-raid gas analyzer? I got the βkeyβ for factory to open the pumping station but never found it. I picked one up at customs but got shrekt by a scav
@lethal vortex You wont find them in fac most likely
best place to farm them is OLI and techstores on interchange
also idea office can spawn some
the stores are called rasmussen techlight techno and german or voyage cant remeber
Thanks Kirylow I will definitely check interchange out. I usually stay away because of the high-level enemies and I never really have teammates
@lethal vortex I find them semi regularly in filing cabinets on shoreline
Thanks dude
@lethal vortex for the gas analyzers, you only need to find 1 in raid for the first quest and just get 3 for the second (for the 3 in the second quest you can just buy them.) I had best luck finding gas analyzers in interchange inside the texho and techlight store and on shelves in the big store nearby.
what's best armor and helmet?
Vulcan isnΒ΄t that good. Facehield is only class 4 which will result in death way too often
lfg for training
@serene bloom to advertise a discord or clan contact mod mail or pm mods
@neat grove thx
anybody wanna run factory/customs with a beginner?
Hello, I hope this is the right section for my question.
I bought the game few days ago but I'm getting massive stuttering (especially when shooting enemies) even with the lowest settings. My PC specs:
- CPU: AMD FX-8370 @4.3 GHz
- 16 GB RAM
- GPU: GTX 750 TI 2 GB
My question is: will a new GPU be enough to fix the problem? Or is my PC too crappy?
@grim quartz If you want to DM me, we can talk about it. It looks like you fit the minimum and recommended requirements but upgrading is never bad. What's your RAM speed?
If you have a budget, I can try to make some recommendations
The cpu is also holding you back quite a bit
How about an i7 6700k? I have an rtx 2060 but the game is still stuttery
Framerates are generally good but I get a decent amount of stutter every once in a while
Also is there any leg armor ingame? I dont enjoy having scavs with shotguns decimate them
Obliterate? That may have been the wrong word
random question, does shooting scav-players anger scav-npcs ?
it does? damn...
Ok.. maybe I wont shoot this guy heh
if the player scav shoots and hits you first and you kill him the npcs wont be angered
@lethal vortex im running with a core i5 8600k 3.6 ghtz, a geforce gtx 1070, 16 gigs of ram and tarkov is installed on a ssd. I run it perfectly fine, but still get ocassional stuters and frame drops. Its just the game, hopefully fixed with next patch.
but if you shoot and kill another player scav who hasnt shot at you they will be angered
ok thanks folks, really good to know, I appreciate it
Thanks
How safe is it to reinstall starkov?
I hear people have TONS of issues
but I wanna move it to my SFF
SDD*
SSD**
i did it and i was completly fine
is it commen problem of getting stutter right as other players are shoting at you?
it's the only time I get stutters at when another player shot at me, it's all fine when AI shot at me π¦
Ive never seen people have problems reinstalling psyonicg
And to move tarkov all you have to do is drag the game folder then relocate it on launcher
@zealous schooner
Stutters like that usually indicate a connection issue or a server issue, try manually selecting servers with the best connection on the launcher to mitigate the problem.
kk
anyone feeling like helping a beginner and wants to group up with me?
@hidden vale i can help ya out. Though i wont be on till later tonight and im mainly on tuesday - thursday
anyone willing to help me out im brand new
@bold kernel i can help ya out but like in msg above, ill be on later tonight and im usually on tues-thurs.
@hidden vale @bold kernel if your brand new i recommend getting to know your maps first. Work on factory, customs, interchange in that order to start out. You can find maps online to help locate extracts. Use your scav runs as much as possible to get battle experience and maybe some free gear.
Hey is anyone up to help me i could run anything with someone knowledgable i dont think i am gonna be a burden since i i've been playing fps's for long but that's it β€
@eternal timber sure if ya want
I am in Quad Alpha with 2 guys we are gonna do some interchange hop in if you want
im looking to buy the game, should a AMD 2600x, a RTX 2070, and 16 GB of ram at 3200 mhz be able to run it fine at max settings?
Should have plenty enough beef. Suprised you're not running a Ryzen since you've got a 2070 though.
this dood kaminsky lmao
Do you mean vega? @brisk mortar
i dont even keep up to date with most of new stuff anyways because i dont have money to upgrade nor do i care, my PC is pretty beefy
my pc prettty trash lul
what are the specs?
i got mine in march
π ±roke gamer
i wish the 2070 had NV link capability
then i would get another 2070, but no
i cant
i needa stack up some dough then ill get a new shiny big boi rig
nice
i wanna get a new AMD CPU but then i would need to take off my CPU cooler and do some other stuff
so then i would rather get a new motherboard and the new CPU, but if i was getting a new CPU i'd rather just get some extra RAM while im at it
im eyeing that new 3700X
so then i'd eventually just be upgrading my whole PC
in one go, because i think its dumb to take apart stuff and then have to do it again later to do another thing
fr
anyways lets stop talking in here
lmao
general chat for off topic?
@polar tree
I'm just being dumb, when I saw 2600x I thought X4 Athlon for some reason. 
imagine having an athlon cpu aha... totally not me

So I just got the kill 6 pmc with a pistol quest. Is he consensus on this one aps on factory?
Saiga 9mm
Damn cheap, scavs have it, killed two gucci geared bois with it
but honestly why go with 9mm when you can buy an sks
because rip and 9mm is full gear rip
9mm rip ? is it really that good
I killed a killa with it twice
and I had 13kills on labs with it and mpx
by just shooting at legs
but you need to have a good position
102 damage at body is a lot
because budget
I have low survival rate
30%
because Im using mp5
not saiga
I like to experiment with my playstyle
Same as pmc
Any boi's here lookin to play
@ me
here seriuos question im in NA servers and i got a friend in AS servers can we still play together or is it reigion locked ?
thanks

@frosty cosmos u should consider to apply for the sherpa program
@frosty cosmos you just need to have a certain level of maturity and the simple will to help, if you got both of it they will take you in for sure
sending your application to your regional sherpa overseer works the quickest way

anyone here willing to teach me some maps?
@neat grove will you teach me the way they told me to message you
Sure can
Hey, I applied to Sherpa a while ago, but I'm not sure if my application bugged or something, because i never got a response. Am I able to resend an application? I'm on NA
@somber basin You mean you applied to be a sherpa? Not everyone gets a response and you donΒ΄t need to apply again.
I tried to apply for sherpa but the application screen failed for me and i couldnt get it back
either way 2000hr pro here if anyone needs advice or if you play on oce I can give you some help just pm me
sorry stealing the emojis for my discord too but ill delete the messages soon


There is a new application NEaves
Feel free to use it
oh really thanks for that mate, I've literally been a noob helper since I finished one wipe lol probably helped about 200 people already
anyone from asia who speaks EN/CN wanna team up?
just bought this game about 2 days ago
could someone help me get better at pvp?
THanks for the application, I sent one in
Also @chilly swift What are you struggling with?
When is the wipe?
I believe sometime in September
Pvp fights
I heard something about stripping down a gun and selling that to one of the traders (don't know which one) and the rest of the gun parts to another trader (don't know which one) to make more profit over just straight up selling the gun to one trader ? Skier? @ me with an answer please
Mechanic is who you sell attachments to @worthy fractal
@worthy fractal traders pay different amounts for loot. therapist>skier>mechanic>fence should get you the most and everything gone. so taken apart guns skier pays extra for a few parts where mechanic would pay lower but takes more parts. some skier won't accept. and some only fence takes but he pays alot for like axes.
@worthy fractal sell everything to skier and the rest to mechanic
if its not a gun thing sell to therapist
fence only buys melee and things super damaged that others don't
I mean that's when its better to
therapist>skier>mechanic>fence could probably be pinned as a selling order though. only a few instances where you lose money or need extra steps like repairing helmets and armour to sell.
thank you for the answers
@chilly swift Is there a particular aspect of PVP you struggle with, or just in general?
@somber basin i struggle with PVP in general, i get meh/bad fps on tarkov but i know that has nothing to do with it. Mind giving me some help?
@balmy leaf I'm always open to help, you free now?
yup
I guess in general but there are time i see someone first and im able to fire like 20 rounds into him but then they turn around and just kill me right away
Ok, I can help you out if you like. I'm with Chigger right now in Trio Bravo if you want to talk now, or we can do it another time
We're working on Chigger's settings
Hey, i just applied for becoming a Sherpa. how long does that process usually take ?
hi what is better 5.45 BP or BS
bs @oblique oracle
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/5.45x39mm
more pen is generally considered better.
Pen usually comes at the cost of reduced dmg.
but for BP vs BS you lose 2 dmg but gain 18 pen when using BS
@oblique oracle
If anybody is avliable to squad up and help a new stranger id greatly appriciate it!
@rapid swan Duo Alpha
@candid bolt 
@oblique oracle
for 5.56 its M995
You can check out every important Value right here:
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ammunition
in general you can say Pen > DMG
some exceptions like the M80 round exist.
the M80 has the lowest pen in its cal.
but because its DMG is the highest and it allows you to 1 shot unarmoured chests it might be the better round.
You will find many ammunition types within the chaos of Tarkov. Varying opponents will require different types of ammunition to tackle.

Any tips on how to avoid exfil campers?
Expect them, and learn where they like to hide.
Also I got a dorm room 220 key, what map is that for?
Customs
anyone need a sherpa? im geared and have nothing to do
best way to avoid extract campers is to extract late
if they know what they're doing, you will die 100% basically
tarkov gunplay is super camp oriented
Np
I think I got out with some pretty sweet prizes.
Got a room 315 key, a gold chain and 2 recbatts
For 2 rechargable batteries you can get adar @karmic pond
Oh shit
Skier lvl1 ig
That's sick
Yeah common loot and only for 2 you get adar
Like in 5 raids i made 3 adars from them
Oof
Hope a gold chain is worth a lot
Ok now I realize how dumb that sentence was.
It's a gold chain
Anywhere to buy ADAR mags from?
Np
Just make sure you use good ammo
955 is the best the second best is 856A1 thats the best for penetration... Ig if you are only going for soft spots then ig the most flesh dmg is the 55 HP... But yeah its pen is like 9?
Through the flea market
@karmic pond My method, pack grenades. If you know the area that's most likely, lob a couple. If there's a camper, they'll come flying out. Of course, only works on exfils that are more indoors than the ones sitting outside
That's clever, luckily I got 2 frags from my latest scav run
Yeah, won't work every single time, but it's a good way to smoke out a camper, especially in factory or customs
Chuck an F-1 into Factory main exit, and if they don't die, they will still be injured heavily
F-1 and spray the wall when you hear the steps
^^
The red metal crap is pennable even by most average rounds
π
Oh fuck I found a labs keycard
I assume its not really rare but its the first time i held one.
Its a solid 140k
Put in secure container, it fits into document case or a wallet if you have one
I'll leave it in my stash for now, I feel like I'm not ready to raid labs yet.
I barely know factory by heart π
#AssAtLabsGANG
Whats the best ammo for AK-74M
Igolnik pens class 6 but has pitiful flesh damage, very low% to not onebang on a headshot despite penetrating due to it.
BS is best, I would agree (pens class 5)
BP, BT are ok vs class 4 but won't immediately penetrate
BT is technically best pen for 5.45
PS is best flesh i beelieve
But dont buy BT unless you know you're going to use it, cause its like 400 rubles a round
all ammo types compared
Both are false, actually
HP is the best for flesh, 7N39 Igol being the highest pen
BT is cheap, 250 per
BS is 400some roubles a pop
With Korgi on that one, BS is the best performing round overall, I consider it the late game round you want to be using. Bt's are easy to acquire in raid, Shoreline stakcs 120 rounds boxes like no other
Guys I need a Variable Zoom Long Range optic for The M700
anyone here
?>?>?
I need halp
@bold kernel late but vudu, elcan, burris, valday
For dude shooting
You can survive in armor and ronin helm 12 shells from close range? If yes, i have zo buy it.
Can anyone help with quests?
Hello. I have the standard edition of the game. And I'm thinking of going to the edge of darkness edition. Will it wipe my account or will I keep everything
you keep everything
You donβt need to reset, just need to buy what you want and everything will come from the message tab. @bold kernel
does turning on a laser on your gun make the point firing more accurate or is it just used to better gauge where you're aiming when you point fire
its just to help you accurately gauge where your bullets will land
Having a laser on when point firing does give it a bonus
@bold kernel
There's also a chance of a sale in October too
fresh off the boat, can anyone hop in beginners assistance voice chat and teach me the ropes
Uh, I can, but it's gonna be a few minutes before i can get on

Anyone need to to run the Task Delivery from the Past? Just @ me if so.
Legit nicest guy I've ever met, saw me looting coats on Factory and decided to give me some gear
π
For clearance I only had a hatchet lol
Oh that's useful
And yeah.
He was Tanchanka
Had that helmet and all
lol
The lord has gifted me strength
When a beginner discovers keys on factory.

Just farming keys on factory
So I got the first signals quest for mechanic and thought oh this'll be easy, I play shoreline loads and rarely ever see anyone
6 deaths later and I still haven't completed the extract alive part of the quest. Geared? Dead. Hatchet? Dead π
Tis' how it goes.
You only see people when you don't want to.
Same thing is happening with me right now. I have to kill 12 scavs on multiple maps while wearing UNTAR helm, UNTAR body armor, and an M4A1. I swear I'm only seeing 2 scavs per map instead on the normal 12 I run into...
@regal plover true that! Also one of the deaths was because I heard someone shooting near pier/burning gas and decided to try to slip past, which obviously then exposed me. If I had have just snuck up and engaged the dude while he was fighting someone else then I'd have probably been fine and got out with a kill or two as well.
Same for me too π I have the kill 15 scavs on customs and every time I go it's completely devoid of scavs
That Tark life
Luckily I've managed to rack up a large amount of money for only having played about 3 weeks, so I can have these experiences now and try to develop better game sense with little real risk before the wipe happens
Nice!
I lost probably 5-600k in gear (not counting maybe getting some back on insurance) yesterday, but I made about a mil doing interchange tech store runs, so it's all good
Here's a pro tip for you; You know that old, run down gas station on Customs? On the table just to your left when you enter is a unique world spawn point where some items spawn that don't spawn anywhere else in the game. Always worth it to see what's appeared, even if 3/4 times it's some random garbage weapon mod.
I did not know that, thanks @regal plover!
I think most times I've been there, someone has already extracted and probably taken it
Gotten multiple docs cases, a key tool pistol cases, snipers, rigs, backpacks, armor, snipers, armored helmet plates, skull lock head mounts, and a million garbage mods.
Haha nice
Actually yeah I remember pestilty mentioning it in his customs video too
Back behind that has station is a medbag in a concrete cylinder too. Next to that cylinder on the ground I've gotten a few M4A1's and a Factory key. Just a heads up ;-)
Cool thanks! I know about the medbag, but not the ground spawn
Have fun running around Customs, and good luck with those Scavs kills!
@regal plover thanks! I know the map layout well now and at least get a fun firefight even if there's no scavs :D
need help with beginners quest
just did my second solo Lab, I had no scaves spawn at all for 30 min I hit two of the spawn raiders buttons and nothing came... Youtube video I saw said they would at least spawn at 45 min left , but nothing, this a bug?
Even if you pressed a button, they stay have a chance to not spawn in. But normally they should spawn after 15-20 or so if nothing was opened
How do I find kiba keys?
You get Kiba 2 from doing the Gunsmith task line and Kiba you can buy for money on Flea, Trade 50 Condensed Milk to Ther and you have a chance to find on some wood next to some tents in Goshan and on scavs
@tight echo
Ok thx
I have 1 mill what key should i get to make the most money back
Marked Key. Its the last room in the back of Customs Dormitory 3rd Floor
kiba keys
or 310, 226 key etc on shoreline resort, but you have to check the price
@spiral plaza
i see
i bought the kiba key for 800k few weeks back
how much are marked keys currently because i got mine for under 10k
looking on the loot you can get there the price is quite small
its also not a rare key too
Can someone tell me what's the most valuable key here?
I've completely filled this to the brim, some are dupes but mkay
better off checking flea to see prices of each
or like the wiki
It shows what is in the room....
but...
he asked for value
i dont suppose tarkov has an unstuck command?
im currently stuck inside a pole on shoreline
best shot you got is to alt f4 and reconnect
The "Switch tactical device mode" bind used to allow me to switch the red dot optic, but no matter what I bind it to atm, it does not work...
I think hes using alt t instead of alt click
@neat grove Cheers bro, apparently the one I use now only has one setting
p1x,walther,pk06
have different recitcles
and a few others
Eotechs dont have any other
Okey, so I switched to the cobra ekp-8-18 reflex sight i have on my Ak-105, and i know i could switch it before, but now it does nothing
My bind it left alt + e, but even when i put it on a random key like f12 or some letter it does not work
l alt+e is a key bind for something else
hmm try going back to the default L alt+right click
With the other optic i get the click sound but no change, with this optic nothing
That one right?
Before i put it at shift + e, but then i would side step while changing the scope, so ever since i changed it nothing happens, even when i put it back on the old bind
If you dont have too many customs key binds, I guess try hitting the default button to reset them and try it
Its all custom, i use dvorak keyboard layout lol
yeahhhh sounds like it
Ohwell, guess im stuck using the default reticle for now, thank for the help
This is a long shot but are you looking at the right setting to preform the action
like are you hitting the change laser and flashlight bind over the sight bind
cause both actions make the click sound
Switching zoom works to change my reticle on my red dot. Alt + right click
Change scope magnification?
Scope mag and Recticle change are both L alt right click default
Yes! It worked
Switch tactical device mode and change scope magnification were the same bind before like you said, so that got me confused about what does what
Scope magnification, unlike what the name suggests also changes the reticle like Darkwolf mentioned
noice
On qwerty keyboards yes
,aoe is better;D
Can you mark things while ur a scav
hi just got the games and played for a bit to see if my game running well, now looking for a a group or ppl to show me more about the game and have some fun
guys how to unlock the Fence quest in order to obtain the kappa container?
@nimble iris
-Complete all quests besides No offence, Trust regain and Loyalty buyout
-"Multiple choice" quests like Supply plans/Kind of sabotage count as completed
@weary eagle thank you
any tips on going on customs key runs solo?
how can you do this? i really would like to learn this move with knife π
That only means he hit you above the eyes, not the actual top of the head.
4Head
oh.
How are people running and shooting me perfectly at the same time?
You canβt and shoot at the same time
I mean there are people who strafe run and either headshot me instantly, or light me the fuck up
I donβt understand what theyβre doing or how
Some point fire from normal max walkspeed
Some stop running and start shooting, the shooting will show on your screen briefly quicker than the change in movement
And some are cheating
And some are AI scavs who can aim and move at the same time
remember that netcode is overall heavily delayed in tarkov
rule of thumb is - unless they're a scav - if someone is shooting at you, you're already dead
if you're new, play slow and learn map hotspots
bigger maps are generally easier, i strongly recommend interchange for new players and to stay off the first floor
bigger maps such as woods and shoreline suck for me personally, cant see where im getting shot from/snipers 1shotting me lol too many angles
ive gotten more luck with kills on labs than shoreline and woods lol
labs is ez loot
Somewhat new to the game! Looking for someone to teach me the ropes!
@neat grove do help job
Somewhat new to the game! Looking for someone to play with and teach me!
aight why them mans sentence structures similar
Thatβs actually a p good question
I am online for a while if anyone needs help π
Hi, this isn't exactly beginner, but im looking for a mid tier setup to run my kiba runs. going to be using a tri-zip backpack. can anyone help me put one together?
do plans do anything besides taking up space?
Are there any secure containers that donβt cost 361026391 rubles or are actually obtainable without spending another 100$
@halcyon scroll IT kinda depends on how well you can manage your recoil. I'd say use it, it's a free gun that uses a decent round. Start with tap firing it, especially a base FAL, that recoil is too much at first. You can drop most targets within two to three shots to the chest, and a high chance to one tap in the head even with helmets
@livid siren you can get different cases through quests. Eod edition is biggest case besides kappa, but kappa limits what you can put in it.
alrighty i mainly just need a new secure container
Thats what i was talking about. You can get better ones, do the quests. You can get 2x3 and i think 2x4
hmmm alrighty appreciate the help
any idea which quests get you the better cases?
also could someone explain labs to me? i know you need a keycard and i know its supposed to be like the special thing, just dont really know much about it
the map for it online is rather unimformative, simply a layout
Punisher Pt 6 gets you the Epsilon Container, and Fence's quest gets you the Kappa.
Labs has a one time use keycard to enter. There, you fight players and special scavs known as raiders. They only spawn in once you trigger a dynamic extraction, and usually have military grade gear and are harder than normal scavs. They also have more HP than players.
Yes
There's also a couple of rooms on Labs that require keycards to get into, but these are infinite use and behave the same way as keys.
Although, it is possible to lock people into said rooms, if they do not have the respective keycard, as the doors lock when they're closed.
i have three dorms keys but one of them is a metal skeleton key style
are they all for customs?
those dorms?
ahh
nice thank you
ok so
playing pc
pmc
im at supposedly the fourth of my four options for exfil
but its not here
there are a bunch of questionmarks next to it on my exfil list
so what does that mean
Only some of your exfils are 100% assured.
Where are you, and what are your options?
Nope. You have to hit Crossroads.
whats the downside to using headsets?
There really is none, it's just that each type of headset has their own sound profile.
I'd suggest going into Factory Offline and testing them all out to see which one you prefer.
Since if you ask 5 different people, you'd likely get 5 different answers.
π
Well @jade spruce comtacts do sound like fucking dorito bags
IS THERE A BOSS IN DORMS?
yeah
oh shit nice
oh rip
i remember the first time i met him at gas station all wearing altyns
ate three shotgun clips and 2 pistol mags
Looks like you got unlucky with the amount of support.
those last two were real sneaky
didnt hear a peep til one started shooting me
i had to reload so i ran
if i go for him i really only kill 3 take the gear and go
Yea, those bois are dangerous.
into the waiting arms of scav no 2
i was about to dip
i grabbed some gear
but didnt wanna wait about too long
but i guess i did
rip me
reshala
apparently
is who i killed
wait reshala was my final kill
he was the only one i one shot
his body guards were wayyy tankier than he was
he did have the nicest gun tho
Reshala doesn't wear armor.
yeah resala is the boss
But he does have more base health
saiga?
mp153
ah
Some of hte guards can have face masks.
i was just doing a run with junk gear
and ran into those assholes on my 3rd go
yeah the tankiest one that took so long to kill had a tachanka helmet
if you know what im talking about
that shit
it had glass actually
yeah altyn then
so Altyn, unless it was ALL glass, then it was a ZSH
i rarley even see ZSH's
I see em' pretty often on Reshalas goons
yeah on the goons and raiders but i never see them on players
I like to use them whenever I'm meming on Factory, otherwise it's ULACH or Maska/Altyn
i almost always run the ULACH or ACHHCH
@opaque mirage that's probably why you die so much
Hearing > Protection
What can I get for a CPU fan and a gold chain?
Keep both for quests down the line.
Ok thanks
how do i put a foregrip on a lvoa fore
its driving me insane
i cant find anything that works
You need to attach a M-Lok rail section to it.
Right-click on the rail and press linked search
then buy the 6" rail
Yup.
fucking why
Because reasons.
i s2g it should fit on the fucking 4 inch
EXACTLY
WTF GAME
i just spent waaaay to much money trynna figure that shit out
ty tho
as someone whos really into guns, im bad at economy in this game
because i want to gucci everything
doc cases hold keys right?
document cases*
and whether or not they do hold keys, what else can they hold?
yes
F
yes
many a times ive scavved into factory to discover the bottom 3 cabinets are full
ive found 3 horses once it was p cool
you can find litty keys, gold chains and shit in the cabinets
heres a question
can i saw off an 870, remove the stock, and make it an underbarrel attachment for an m4
uh no
it sux man i wanna pimp all my guns but im poor
had 3 crappy raids back to back with pimped guns and now im only using a budget m4 :(((
I just lost a fuckin 416 i looted from marked room so tonight has been a failure
.....is this the truth you speak
yeah deadass ill give you one lol whats the size of your container
@livid siren someone gave me a free beta the other day and im feeling generous
Sadly i just have the alpha hahaha
okay ill just have to give it to you in 2 raids then lol
@livid siren you playing currently?
Not currently will be most of the day tomorrow though if your still willing to trade
ofc anytime lol
Hell yah man!! Iβll probably slide you something as well i a few little cool things!
nah you dont need to
lost a gun case that spawned in marked room earlier. was bummed. my stash needs some love
my mans trying to get me to donate guns to him lul
anyone down to play? im new and just looking for other players to learn
i just wanted the case
is that a good stash for me only having the game for 2 days?
3*
better than my first 2 days lol
ooh that redut has 30 dura
is that good?
i mean
ive usually sold all my level 5 armour before they reach that low so idk how that'll work for you
so I should just sell it?
probably fine for normal gameplay against scavs and low gear players
I repaired it bc it was like at 0
i mean its up to you
its better than no armor, that's for sure
^^^
I can barely even get prapors 2nd quest done lmao
which ones that
thats a big roadblock for everyone
watch one?
bronze pocket watch or something
do you not have mechanical key?
I was right next to the truck
just wait for the infamous document
but thats when I died when I put 21 m855 into someone
ngl i just did that in like 1-2 hatchet runs
@little compass you could sell a lot of that stuff and consolidate it into more useful gear for your experience level
what stuff?
sprint there as fast as you can get in get out quick
scav sniper might give you trouble if you do that tho?
@little compass your stuff in your stash
i mean hey he didnt see me when i did it lol
@little compass most of it π
are you ever going to use that cool m4 or is it going to be put into a display case?
I'd sell the bitcoin, the armour definitely
i mean i wouldnt run any 74s early game bc shit ammo given
display case then π
oi morty
how do I even get weapon cases
paying 1m
Get yourself some of the class 3 armoured rigs instead
Break down and sell the guns
there will be display cases in hideout mort π€
Actually search deadlyslob's efficiency loadout @sonic lake it's a really good idea for people starting out
buy a marked key and just run marked room until your eyes spin out of your head, you'll get a weapon case at some point @little compass (not real advice)
Uh sorry @little compass not @sonic lake
prism scope im pretty sure he hasnt even unlocked yet
i use deadly slob as reference for what I should do
@sonic lake flea market
all of my traders are lvl 1
Also you don't need to use the prism really
imho most efficient loadout is just vepr 7.62 or sks with level 3 armor
Get to l5 and you can get whatever you want from the flea market @little compass
i wouldnt go around with 995 trying to fight players at that early level
yeah that would just be setting yourself up for the peasant life
dont want my mans to get brrrrrrrrt by a better player with an HK and more gamesense and knowledge
I also wouldn't go around with fort/killa and a trick m4 π
those rigs are really good
those are really good
Yeah the rigs are sick
yeah
they come back from insurance a lot
brought them into labs ez upgrade to m2 and gen4
ik
The class 4 one is great when you want to step up a level too
@normal bear no is another 6b one
nobody uses it lmao
You can get them for ~80k
trade is weird as shit
And again I've got them back every time
and 80k is at half dura
No I've got them for 80k full dura. The price and even if they're on the market varies wildly
But yeah I wouldn't pay 100k
well gamers time to hop into labs in my zucc 3 armour
its poop
needed for quest
so should I sell it
im pretty sure
You could almost get a gen4 hmk for 100k π
@little compass everyone has about 50 room 303
im pretty sure 303 is needed for golden swag
They're a very common spawn
@normal bear you got any tips for improving at pvp apart from map knowledge and just doing a bunch of pvp?
i fuckin hated that quest lmao deadass all the times i tried to go there just for the quest either scav boss or fat juicy boys
g i t g u d as they say
Yeah that's what I thought
should I just grind my scav if im low on money or want more?
I'm doing pretty good, but it's very easy to get clapped as well
yea
or use my pmc
I did geared on customs yesterday because a scav blacked my arm out
if youre good you can get massive payouts running pistoling
use your scav on cooldown if you want money and map experience, play pmc for tasks, experience and fat loot if you have keys
Money making: go pmc interchange, run texho, tech light, Rasmussen, leave
can you do like squads on tarkov or are they not worth ir
you can
I got 7 tetris yesterday doing that, 4 back to back
idk what texho, tech light, or rasmussen are
@little compass I play mostly in a duo and it is pretty good
but theres no like indication system right?
armbands I guess? lmao
groups are iffy for me either i die more or i survive more
You have to like tell them to crouch to identify right
depends on the day
Just communicate and you'll be fine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdxw6N3EQDg this is my stash, 21 days into playing tarkov. Mainly thanks to my interchange tech runs
your lack of containers hurts me
^^^
ive got standard as well
so its really hard for me to organize
cases and stuff really make a big difference
if you play on standard they are a must
also big backpacks
@crystal arch I bought a med box and a junk box last night, it hurts me too π
I have eod though
i mean id do what everyone says hatcheting and stuff but i wanna have fun lol
@karmic garden how long have you been playing in total tho?
@little compass 21 days
@sonic lake I go lightly geared rather than hatchling, more fun
@little compass 90 ish
damn
I think I have like 10 maybe at this point but I have basically no idea what im doing
the only map i know decently well is factory
i really dont get how people hatchet and shit into shoreline or interchange that shit would drive me insane
youll be good after a few days wilbert
once you play a few more raids youll get the maps down
pretty much everyone struggled on their first few days on tarkov
@little compass I was exactly the same at 10 hours
it's the natural progression really
My advice is find someone to teach you a bit
except for shoreline my dumbass still checks the map for shoreline after a month of playing
I had so much shit on a customs raid but got killed by a scav throwing a grenade
I teamed up with a guy who'd been playing for a month when I started and it helped so much. Still raid with him every day
like none of my friends have tarkov tho lmao
same
same
go on here lfg
much less even know what it is
@little compass I just met him on discord
I literally asked in this channel and he dmed me
I've got a friend that might start playing in a few weeks lmao
same
well
poor students and such
all my bois are waiting on a sale lul
got killed each time
F
But now is a really good time to learn with the impending wipe, as you don't have to worry about having your account for a long time
oh yeah
@little compass is it checking?
does EVERYTHING wipe on wipes?
