No-one is bothered about skill just more receptiveness to learn if you feel me, I'll shoot you a PM with the link if you fancy it
I'll be home in about an hour so it'll be an hour and a half or so before I jump on
ya, Im a pretty quick learner and i dont mind shutting up and listening
Lol we're not that mean π
Good to hear π
You forgot to mention the 1 million rubles buy in π
Ez π
10, you missed a 0 buddy π
Now that not so much ez xD
My bad lol
hey im also looking to learn with a couple ppl, mind taking me in?
@gaunt garden sure thing bud, we're gonna be raiding in about half an hour if you want in?
sure!
I'll shoot you a PM :)
Hey is anyone still playing willing to sherp? Iβm somewhat new, hoping to learn some stuff
Hi! If anyone is interested in being a sherpa pm me!
π
What maps you guys enjoy running scavs on?
if you want quikk loot, factory
just extract
or bonk a few scavs on the way
however if you want a little more fun go customs. Check for Reshala at gas or dorms. loot a little, bonk a few scavs, and extract
@bold kernel
cool cool, ive mostly done interchange for scav was wondering what else, i kinda enjoy scav so wouldnt do the fac run through
will try custom
im a bit confused by scav play tho, if i bonk a few scavs, all aggro for the rest of that match? Or how far do I need to run away?
the second you kill a scav you effectively become pmc
scavs will delete you
also Killa will attack you on interchange regardless of how friendly you have been
and when he spots you, all scavs around you will turn on you
same with reshala
ahh ok, someone said if you kill scavs only scavs in that area will attack
but i havent seen them stop before
yeah theyve got an aggro radius mate, they dont all attack you
e.g. if you kill a scav in Idea, Goshan scavs will generally be friendly
i think the range is like the size of factory
So you should generally if you spawn on the outskirts pop a couple scavs before entering interchange maybe
Anyone know for those kill USEC quests can you kill your teammate to complete them? Lol
It was fun to go to factory and just gun down everyone and get some nice loot up until you get killed by someone hiding outside of gate 3, and its the last scav left (player im pretty sure)
@charred notch No cant do that anymore,
Ye i read about it
just take a friend go one server and do night factory
Figuring out how to point shoot properly is a godsend
You can just destroy scavs in CQC because they need to ads
@charred notch wouldn't it be easier to learn the game then just slip past the quests barely π
Just wanna get past that quest and do some peacekeeper quest before the wipe
Every bear i kill is wasting my time lol
im sure running factory would yield quick results
Ye but i suck at factory lol
welcome to my domain i suck at this game but 200k rubles later 6pmc dead with pistol on factory π
i only took apb pistol with best ammo i could get and vest from scavs
and i have a factory key which made my life alot easyer
I was using glock 18c with drum mag
But when i was about to leave a scav headshot me lol
that was too expensive for me
I just bought the game and I cant figre out how it works. help?
factory key enables few more exits such as cellar which is super convinient
since gate 3 is campers paradice
factory key now is just 300k so not that expensive
after wipe i would imagine 1mil+
i learned the economy part of this game but i cant learn to shoot and spot for shait. i get rekt too often
If anyone here enjoys helping new players or is a new player themseleves looking for help send me a DM!
I think factory key is at custom gas station which is a hotspot
So very hard for new players
What isnβt?
Oh ye i got it wrong lol
The dorm desk
Which is hotspot too
Lmao
its sort of cheap in flee market atm
weapon boxes or pmcs
You can find M4 at times in some crates but it's rare compared to vepr and other weapons. Have to level traders and buy one. Or pay inflated prices on the flea
ll2 peace keeper
Crates are open
May need a key to get into a locked room like Marked Room on Customs. Crates are open
I don't believe so
Alright thanks
and keys are not specific to each room, any keys can open any locked room
?
Yes. Keys are specific to a room. Marked Key goes to Marked Room. 310 East goes to Shoreline room 310 in East wing
It kind of effects indirectly. In way you spawn later than pmc who may already picked up a key so its gone.
Correct. That makes sense
is car firstaid better then salewa?
@broken radish
No. Car has 220. Salewa has 400.
and car medkit uses up more when fixing bleeding
anybody wanna do customs or factory?
Im down, I just opened the game for the first time about 15 mins ago tho
oh wrong chat my bad but fine by me
new and looking for some guidence

Question does laser do give anything other than a visible dot on screen?
Aah
And all tacticals do that in any mode, actually
So you can have your laser on searchlight/dim mode if you dont want others to see it, will still give benefit
I never add laser to my weapons since only ingame it only says -x ergonomics
Lasers are worth it if you fire off the shoulder a lot
Thanks for info
hey π would there be anyone willing from EU to assist me in my first steps, maybe play a few games with me?
First timer here, just got the game and am so confused lol

@rough oxide @merry zodiac probably best thing you 2 could start with
Hi guys lf a experienced player to help me with something and teach some stuff and play with him
@plucky goblet Thanks for the tip. Gonna check that out π
any1 that can help with anything, I'm a fresh player. Don't really know what to do, just walking around killin' and getting killed.
@granite mulch what do you need help with?
anything really, as I don't know anything
@granite mulch well we could do a few runs and get you into the basics if you like?
i mean sure, that would be appreciated
cool im in voice channel Duo Echo
Anyone willing to help a newbie learn some basics?

what does a sherpa actually do?
Your guide etc
How to become sherpa
is it a real person?
You cant anymore iirc they stopped applications because of the lack of use of sherpas
you unoffically help people
i feel like they should let people know about sherpas in game
im pretty new any tips on what map to run?
easiest map is customs and interchange
yet doesnt mean the other players you may meet will be easy
woods yeah its easy, but you likely to sniped
what makes customs and interchange easy?
customs is relitivly linear so to extract you need to cross the map
lots of places to take cover and avoid others
if needed
ah
and the first few quests are on customs
too
@small wadi https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Customs
@split vapor ty mate
@small wadi You can request sherpas here https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/sherpa. They are real people who help beginners.
type in just your name without the # and number and put your full name into the extra notes box
how do you get pmc role?
all you pick is bear or usec
you simply need to accept the rules
my friend is having toruble getting that
@small wadi Just imput "Mason" and add your discord name in the description of that message
can anyone help me set up a .bat file for tarkov? i copy and pasted everything but when i double click it, its says the starts wrong
i scheduled mine last week for today, but never got assigned anyone π¦
Well this being your first message on here i totally doubt that as to get a Sherpa you literally select a person even on the website
I recommend asking someone to pick you up in the #pvp-lfg chat π people are willing to help teach
i chose the "any" choice because I had no preference. I cancelled my request halfway through the day it was supposed to be on since I assumed it wouldnt be filled, (since i created it last week)
i'll probably try to look for something this weekend whan i have some more time. thanks for the suggestion @noble blade
People are usually ok to team up and help new people π
I would teach but Iβm a bit busy atm
For prapors quest where you need to go to customs office and then plant it in factory, do you have to refind the docs in customs each time if you die before planting in factory?
yes or you can store the doc in your special item inventory and use it when youre ready
wow that sucks then that I died in factory before getting a chance to plant there :/
Try night factory @bold kernel it's usually massively less populated
and you only have to survive the planting. You will still need to extract to finish the quest, but you dont have to extract in the same run. It shouldnt work like that, but it seems to currently be an oversight
What does this mean?
I took that guys dog tag but then got shot through a bush by a scav
I feel bad, I came across a guy who had just gunned down a horde of enemies but ending up dying to me, a lowley player who just proned and hit him once in the head with a pp
you didnt take his dog tag out of the raid, ergo it doesnt show any of his information
no you just have to look at the dogtag I think
nope
oh, ok
need to take it out for the infos to display in the end screen
alright
may sound dumb
but can you extract the loot you spawned with the scav
π
I spawned with cool looking mask
I never knew the dog tag thing, just thought you had to inspect it π
I bought one of the books for reading if i claim the book items now will i be able to collect them at the next wipe again.
I believe so
I believe its noted as "starting equipment"
Hmm, it isn't.
I would assume its like the newyears thing but idk
is my pmm firing blanks or what? i cant seem to deal any damage to anyone
all on one scav and he just is like, meh
320 damage in the wrong place is nothing
gotta hit the vitals
either spray the chest, or calm your nerves and hit the head
Poor arms and legs
Need to black chest or head for a kill or continue hitting other parts until their hp is gone
Anyone up for a bit of tutoring ?
Do scavs take more than one headshot to kill?
No
I must just suck
Unless you or the scav are desyncd
or unless they are a boss scav
Yeah, depends on what ammo. But it is possible to not one tap them. IDK what map he was on or what gun he was using.
what happens when the timer reaches 00:00:00?
DIE
oh
another stupid question, will my rubles be reset to 300k after the wipe ?
wipe = reset of everyone's account. you get what you started with.
which is why anyone that is new right now can focus on figuring out how things work without worrying about progression
So assuming the patch really is soon itβs a good time for new players to not worry about losing gear and money etc?
yes
should be roughly 2 weeks
and if you do run out of gear and money I'm sure someone can give stuff away. I don't have a ton but I can help out when I'm on.
I suppose gear management will get better as I level and get cases and such? Iβm going to upgrade anyway but damn standard stash is small lol
Listen, I have Edge of Darkness and I still have to play Tarkov Tetris.
It doesn't get better with more space, your hording gets worse.
hey so i'm pretty new but one thing i've picked up on is people lagging across my screen when im trying to shoot them. Is this to do with the server that im on or something?
Lag can happen either way, but that's typical. Especially when you first load into a raid. It could be server connection, or a player with a bad connection.
it was about 15 mins in i feel like it was to do with his connection as i wasnt lagging at all
just abit annoying as i lose out on a kill (which i dont get many of lol)

Listen, I have Edge of Darkness and I still have to play Tarkov Tetris.
@bold kernel you be doing somthin wrong nonna
@split vapor I'm a horder.
But that requires doing quests or buying them overpriced on the market.
S h O o T e M
love you
gay
@plucky goblet nou
so the more fps in tarkov u have the better?
like if i have 50 fps and someone has 75 then will he be able to kill me faster?
please @ me
its like that in every game
^
becauseΒ΄the person with more FPS can react way faster
Especially in close quarters combat.
unless some dude has like 200 ping and is teleporting everywhere basicaly
All of the above is correct.
no u
any new player want to run customs or smt?
@plucky goblet nou
Somebody wanna help me finish some beginner level quests?
@feral gorge you have a brother i see
@split vapor lmfao
π π
So if i have 3 keytools, should i just sell 1 or 2 or should i keep them?
Depends. Wipe is around the corner so idk if it matters much
well up until wip
If youre gonna collect all keys, Shoreline takes up 2 keytools and Customs takes up 2 keytools
Interchange fits in half a keytool alongside factory and woods keys since those only have a couple
Labs keycards dont fit in a keytool, and take up part of a documents case
gotcha
How I have my set up:
Docs case + keytool for Customs + Factory
Docs case for Interchange
Docs case for Labs + Woods
Docs case always to have room for looting cash money or keycards that I find, at least 3-4 open spaces
i dont have docs cases yet. unfortunately
still pretty new
What map
uhh, mostly customs
ree korgi
How new, like super fresh?
I probably have total 20 hr
Id advise a stock SKS with some cheap class 3 body armor thats not too banged up and a scav backpack
Using PS rounds loaded off the top (from your pocket, no mags needed)
AK-74N is also great, although you would ideally want to put some mods and good ammo into it (PS will not do for that caliber)
check youtube pestily 1-40 best gear leveling
Vepr Hunter is insanely strong with 10 round mags and M80 ammunition, it's a bit more expensive than an SKS but in my opinion very worth it
ok ty
Hunter is nice, I just got one from a scav but lost it. Was fun lol
KORGI
@spiral plaza
!!!
why are you suggesting this foo to use an SKS
@split gull BUY VEPR KM from market for 18k my man. Throw some black polymer on it for 3k. get the tacitcal tula mount, put a sight voila decent gun
cost nearly the same as an SKS and much better gun
Ehh, I like recommending the iron sight SKS at first if really new
what? you cant see shit
Cuz rounds in pocket saves on mags + vest a lot really early on
And a sight is the price of the gun on its own
Not that its bad or anything its what I use myself
But red dot + vest every raid for a new player is at least 20k down the sink each death
akm
Akm is mentioned
why use a 10 round internal that takes 5 years when you can use a 10 rd mag for same but better, and fit in pocket
who the fuck likes sks irons
l0l
i mean i guess if you like a fat ass in your face be my guest
SKS on Flea is like, 13k at lowest
And the sight doesnt look like that at least for me O_o
It used to, but that was long ago
But yea Vepr is "a better gun" 100%
But SKS is 13k + 71 rounds of ammo
Vepr is 15k + 5k on mags + 61 rounds of ammo + 15k on sight + 3k-20k on vest
It doesnt look like that for me. Something is wrong?
Fov
@spiral plaza sks is like 25k fam
23k from prapor and 25k+ on market
vepr would be sitting at 18k as well. its also 25k atm
oki
Uhh wut
Since when is a normie SKS 20k+
It hasnt been over 20k in like.. forever
Reminder: I am NOT talking about the OP-SKS its a piece of shit
my chart includues the prapor one 
LOL holy shit i just head tapped this guy
with my acog basic vepr
It hasnt been over 20k in literal months unless the price shot up very recently due to playerbase heat death
Im New does anyone wanna play
LOL
best gun confirmed
lmfao killed 2 geared guys
and then died to 2 more guys on opposite ends 
what's the best map to get better? I find myself dying to people I don't see camping across the map...
Can anyone play with me?
I'll play with you if you're okay with a noob
same then
join duo delta
what is better a mousing or a sv-98?
SV-98 is superior in every single way
^^^^^^^^^^^
@sour wing are you new
why can i not vew any of the voice chat channles
i cant vew voice chat chanles
you have to do some verificatoin thing
im verified
ahhhh
i did
dope thanks
High fives GTB
what happend?
The verification bot is ded atm
Read the past few messages
how much pve would you recommend until going online? recommend like... a consistent 10 kill streak or something?
how so? players camp up bottlenecks and the exfil is across the map
I started last night and you definitely need a map open hopefully on your second screen
yeah i just did it
eventually you learn the maps and don't really need them open but they're very helpful
thanks
is re-shade allowed?
Unfortunately yes
why unforunately?
re-shade?
@sullen finch do you guys have space?
I installed reshape 4.2.1 Wednesday and it worked fine and yesterday I had to remove it to get the game to load. I only have a couple loaded like colourful and AA. Weird
reshape... I need that
lol
I started last night, and I just filled my stash, I have no idea what to keep. T_T
Seems like the key is to level and get storage bins for everything to make the stash useable
I upgraded to eod last night and all it did was give me a little more space to not know how to use effectively lol
I've just been doing scav, and PMC pistol runs
now i have a bunch of guns and stuff
and no idea whats good, or worth keeping
Check a guide on good beginner guns and gear, sell the rest that canβt be bartered and make a few ready to go loadouts. It sucks when you are scared to sell stuff because you donβt know what is good or not
Throwing stuff in bags in stash is awesome except trying to manage everything after also sucks. Itβs a good time to just screw around and try stuff since the wipe will return you to square 1
i heard sks is a good gun
You will get a ton of different opinions, I have been watching pestily on YouTube and he says mozin and sks making sure to have the good ammo
For level 1-15 anyway
Even with a map 4 days later I still get mixed up on a few spawn points in customs. So much to learn
Realizing I could hop the wall on the outhouses helps and that I can just go through the razor wire at gas station on south side.
Iβm trying to tweak my sounds so I can hear footsteps better over the ambient sounds.
do people use this chat
is the scav boss name on woods called Nikita Rumyn ??
theres no scav boss on woods yet
ahhh i see, then this is just some normal scav ??
you probably got killed by the sniper scav @finite cobalt
@hushed basin if you wanna hear footsteps better you have to wear comtacs, they amplify footsteps and gunfire and other things like that. My personal favorites are sordin and tactical sports
the comtacs called comtacs are good too, but I stay away from the gssh ones
@charred nymph every gun is good if you know how to use it
have you ever modded guns?
modding can make almost any gun into a lazer beam
like the guns i use have 41 vertical recoil
so you can full auto and still melt people at 150 meters
have you practiced point shooting @charred nymph ?
no like hip firing
No
DO YOU KNOW DA WAE ?
Ah where do I find that
hip firing?
Yeah
just don't aim down sight
Ah alright I'll look up for some guides
if you want ill probably be on later to play
what maps do you usually run?
@charred nymph
what time is it for you?
@late tangle oh yeah and levelling that skill, makes sense
Yeah for hearing right?
Worth the price of not cowering in a corner trying it hear too scared to move lol
honestly
when tthat happens i just say fuck it and throw a grenade then rush
or just rotate and don't get caught in that position in the first place
how to get voice channels
Will someone help me and my friend learn to play this game? We just got it.
Learn together lel

@void moth
Hello
hello?
o/
o7
Nonna
any US people on? we are looking for 1 more to teach us a bit about the game =]
I just can't build the courage to play tarkov, what is wrong with me. Its just pixels for fucks sake
practice get used man
do scav to grind cash to buy gear or take gear from scav
do PMC run
do it again
I suck so much ass, I can't even get to extraction as scav
since you know you can always get money from scav run, you are relief if you happen to die
well if your main goal for scav run is money then just rush straight to the extract and get out
the gears scav usually wear range from as cheap fuck as 20k ruble to >50k more
if you feel you suck ass at aiming then do offline raid and practice at scav, but improved in tactics so far can only be made by playing online and vs other player
Rip man
I do not understand my FPS issue, I have a i7-4790k + GTX 1070ti + 16gb of ram, but im getting like 50 fps
hm ? 50 is good, do you mean like you get stuttering often ?
Stuttering and the low fps makes the game feel really sluggish
I have a worse rig than you and I run low setting with 40 fps just fine, the only annoying issues is whenever I zoom in a scope there is a stutter and slight drop in fps
Perhaps im just whining too much
frustration is part of playing this game man
I've learnt that but, did you see summit last night with this 14hr tarkov stream? He is a man of commitment and sheer will
many of us here has job and stuff to do, at most the longest commitment I have for playing game in general is few hours in a week and that is good enough for me compare to other people I know lol
and I still suck ass at Tarkov like you too, I'm only lvl 15 so far π
im level 6 lmao but with like many scav hours
Thanks for the advice, I had never thought of just running through as scav and wearing the gear as a pmc
you dont need to sell all the stuff you got from scav, took whatever you feel good for you
like many people here once said the Vepr 7.62x39 is a good beginner gun
Yeah i've used the vepr-136 but just suck with single fire guns
with little or no modding on then just stuck with semi auto for now, if you got a hand on the AKM you will know it kick like mules in auto fire
the only downside with the Vepr is lack of optical mount, depend on map I would chose an SKS with optic or Vepr
I haven t run factory that much but I'm getting used to being sneaky in Custom now LOL
I shouldn't worry about losing stuff since the wipe is in 1 week right?
yep
better use all the stuff you hoard by now or it will gone later lol
btw, my take in whenever I go to raid as a PMC is always afford a lvl 3 body armor, its expensive but at least it can save you from getting blast by Scav
well wipe soontm tbh
Anyone looking to help a noob? Am desperate, lol.
Did you end up giving away the gamma?
@vague wind What are your graphic settings set to? Donβt go above fxaa in anti aliasing itβs not optimized and will cut fps by a ton.
High - low - 2 - 1600(?) - 60(?) - Off on the rest and 120 fps cap
If any new players need help I'm gonna be on a bit later
I can guide you through maps and fights and give you some gear
@late tangle would b cool if u could show me around a few maps
Ya for sure
Samder you can also play in offline mode with no pve to explore a map in peace. Nothing that happens in offline mode is saved, good way to try out a gun or play with controls. You can also turn on pve to practice fighting scavs with no risk
I'm pretty new and to my suprise I ran into a player which by some dumb luck I managed to outgun and looted a DVL 10 off of him, is it worth keeping sniper rifles around in your inventory or better off just selling it?
Some are required for Gunsmith tasks for Mechanic, you can check the questline on the Wiki
From a performance standpoint.. no, not really, the only sniper that outperforms other options in its caliber is the SVD
Thanks for the advice π
This might be dumb or not in the right chat, but - anyone do any live combat/tactics coaching? I am terrible at self-reflection and I don't know how to apply videos to my gameplay
@sour wing Check your DMs :3
im down
@river quest sniping is my favorite thing to do
@late tangle at this point I'm shitting bricks just walking around let alone having a bolt action sniper
2 newbs 1 pro.xxx/vidz?
@late tangle I won't be on for very long maybe another 1 hour and a half
Oh right
I'll join in a sec just plugging in my microphone.
mhm
Anyone down to try some raids?
Anyone wanna play?
I'll play but I'm pretty new
Don't worry me too
Looking for a duo to learn routes/maps from.
can anyone help me and my friend out
What's up?
I mean, what kind of help do you need?
i bought the game and apparently its poorly optimized
It is, but we will see what 0.12 brings, they're switching to a newer engine which they promise is more optimized.
About two weeks or so out, but take that lightly.
Soon soon...
the gpu usage is ridicilously low
Still in Beta - so expected.
yeah i understand
It's a lot of CPU processing, like with Arma 3.
lmao
my cpu usage is at 15%
and gpu at 20%
I've got a 1080TI but the game runs kind of trash, but I've only got that paired with a i7-4790K.
is there a date when the game is officially released
No.
It get's better, then a patch undoes some of it, then it's fixed.... like @bold kernel said though, patch .12 should give better results.
@bold kernel i have rtx 2080 and 3700x at 4.3 GHz and getting 40fps in woods
Upgrading the whole engine.
fps drops when i look down my scope
normally low fps is due to people with good pc's playing on low
that's because the game is working overtime rending the space a second time.
You may need to tweak your settings a bit.
oh so its like pubg, i must play on high settings to play high fps
not complaining but weird
No?
Welcome to Tarkov!
bRuh
@split vapor What the hell are you on about tonight?
muh cpu stress
is there are date for the wipe?
Roughly two weeks.
That's 0.12.
Stated a couple of days ago that it would be two weeks, give or take... most likely it will be later than that. The first 'key' will be a pre-event.
^
okayyyy
could it be an issue with the game's DX?
because rtx cards run on dx 12
These happen around a week before the actual wipe - sometimes traders prices are crazy low, other times bit coins can be found everywhere...
this time I think they are going to make pouches one way only in raids (you can only take stuff out of them). There will most likely be other fun stuff though - last wipe they had Labs Raiders spawning on every map.
cool cool cool
yall down for some tarkov tho?
Sorry, college work.
its 9pm come on
almost 10
I just got off of work, and I've got to get this assignment done. Try #pvp-lfg, there are some friendly players there.
same as @bold kernel - just coming off of work - may be on later though. Now it's food time!
Nonna do my college work
Anything but math I'd do for you.
good thing i dont have math
anyone have any tips for the drop off in delivery from the past? I can get the document just fine, but keep dying in factory trying to drop off
heh, i helped someone with that yesterday. got it second try. bad spawn makes it harder.
yeah I tried it once solo already. Almost got to the room, but was killed by a juiced guy who just ignored all my 5.45 lol
anyone wanna play? pm me, trying to go to woods.
I can probably help people with quests in 30-60 min or so
what kind of help is it? protection? because I need protection... lol
Yeah, don't want to catch anything nasty.
How dose selling work who's best
sell what you can to therapist, gun mods to skier, guns and mods skier won't buy to mechanic. leftovers to prapor or fence. or just check them all and see who gives you the most. assuming you don't put stuff on flea market.
also if anyone needs assistance with quests i can help for a bit
would you be able to assist with me sitting for 30 seconds in factory?
or is that too late now?
I can do another raid or 2
ok
Lemme grab some stuff, I just died. You can pick a voice channel if ya want
doing the custom offie pickup / factory drop off
I need to find water
in customs
the dorms run
can I get in on it? if not I can come help
what chat are you in / what loadout are you running? I want to have a proper build
pistols actually... and trio foxtrot
I don't see it anywhere
..?? the trio foxtrot voice channel?
did you go through the rules and setup?
ok
and I just click all the flags and stuff right?
did anyone on factory just give a hatchet player a whole loadout? please message me.
@cerulean wind do you see the voice channels now?
nope
Did you tick the #521628660298678283 channel?
OK one moment we'll get you sorted
yup thanks
You're welcome π
who is best for traiding
Depends on the item youβre selling to which trader
guns and jewelry?
techincally the most money for guns comes from breaking the gun completely down, sell as many of the pieces to skier, then mechanic in that order
barter goods should all go to therapist i believe
yes
Are there any better sights I can use out the gate on day 1? say for an akm or anything really
The flea market has always got stuff
on day 1?
Yeah. People will be posting stuff straight away. Otherwise you can always grab a PK01 off of Skier LL1
Or a Deltapoint/Aimpoint from PK LL1
nice thanks, I will check that one out
cobra from prapor if the gun has a mount for it.
PSO scope is great early wipe for range, and for cqc early I like using the Deltapoint which mounts on the TT01 for AK's so it's only one trader level off of being starter gear
So i'm new and have played a few, very quickly ending games so far lmfao. Out of curiosity is my aim complete shit or how am i missing 19 15m shots with a pistol aimed (where i feel is center mass) and only hitting like 3 shots lol
Also curious as to bodily health as i'd dealth 231 dmg to someones body but 51 was blocked by armor. So i wonder what body hp points are?
It's likely you're hitting their arms as well.
I find the aiming to be way different in this game, for example my monitor has a crosshair/red dot built in that is just dead center of the monitor. In most games thats accurate to all guns but in this game because of sway and other factors I couldn't use that if I wanted to as its not accurate.
Ah okay. In a majority of my fights someone runs up on me and i hear them so i can prefire lol but im used to sidepacing while firing in shooters. Probably throws my shots WAY off then.
Try hip-firing, compared to most FPS's its quite accurate
since you asked, head has 35 hp, chest 80, stomach 70, arms 60, legs 65. when a body part has 0 hp it becomes blacked out, damage done to it is distributed to the rest of the body. to kill someone you need to get them to 0 hp (435 total damage) or black out their chest or head. most ammo does enough damage to kill someone in one headshot (not including helmets)
loking for group to play with that can breakdown show places ans spawns in maps
me too
Me three
you guys wanna play together right now? @bold kernel @summer sphinx
Sorry, I'm at work. I was joking. π
I'd help if I wasn't here. But I've still got 7 hours to go.
iam up
Is prs ammo good?
Hardly
is parking supposed to spawn scavs even if you turn off the announcement?
yes it is
then whats the point
other players don't hear it over the whole map
What do I look for in labs to get rich? (Without killing players)
i don't know the loot spawns so i kill raiders. usually if i just want money i'll bring a pistol and steal their stuff
Check the bookshelves in offices
statues and goldchains all over thep lace
Everything in the center area tbh
fCond, Tetriz, Defib, LedX, Condensed milk
Stims too, if you have the key for testing you can get a double m4 spawn
Otherwise just look around
whats the best type of ammo for 7.62x39?
none
not good ammo?
bp
how come me and my friend cant see the gameplay rooms.... or text lfg
You must accept the rules in #521628660298678283
@neat grove ok i hit the checkmark and i put english as server and language

i clicked everything in setup and rules and still cant join
@neat grove you got another one
ahh

im only level 3 and i keep getting 1 tapped by scavs and ive only been able to extract once. ive played only customs but this is very discouraging to say the least
@round wagon get used to it π
@tawdry roost i dont know very many locations besides both the gas stations, and dorms.
print out a map with the extracts, i think the wiki has them
We just updated the Factory page with a new map that we think does the best job so far of showing Factory. https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/5/5c/Escape_from_Tarkov_Factory_Map_by_stealtheh.jpg?version=2710f1b141acdd8916616205fe6b7370
The map is already pretty "busy" with stuff so i'm not sure about making the on-map font any larger
not larger but font more bold visible
dont know how to say
i use second monitor when i play and like to peek the callouts when learning and they are grey in this map
I might ask the map maker to try that out then and see how it looks
other wise looks nice not too colorful i like the isometric look
pretty nice map
Hi, just getting into EFT, was wondering if anyone can point me to a good resource for noobs to help setup and learn the game. Learning curve seems pretty steep.

@low river You still helping newbies out?
@placid grove Yes I sent you a message
@low river anyway you can also help this noob out
Only my third day playing
Still running around with just a PM and a Skav vest
And does anyone know if you have to purchase the whole higher versions of the game to get the gamma even if you have the standard version? Or do you just split the difference on the price
It's the difference in price
@round wagon the containers are also earnable in game through the completion of quests, or purchasing from other players
not the gamma
whats the one thats close to it, is it the kappa or the epsilon?
both
Epsilon you cab get at the end of punisher series and kappa is from fence after completing every single quest in the game
i was also thinking of upgrading to gamma but as from what ive seen on internets that you will no longer be able to place items into sc during raid?
the edge of darkness pack only then becommes bigger inventory thing
so sc will be just gone from the game?
yeah, the test is going to be not being able to place things in your container that you pick up inside the raid (things you brought in will still be able to be placed inside your container indiscriminately)
Any tips for new players? π
Check Pestily or Veritas on youtube lots of new user guides and such.
any good reads/tutorials on movement general lurking since i still get rekt quite often
I didnβt realize how much of a difference tactical headsets make for hearing people, I always wondered how they heard people so clearly from farther away
Learn angles, never walk around a corner blindly peek the angles. Wheel mouse changes movement speed use it to slow down and speed up on the fly when not sprinting
I found a PDF with a bunch of info from reddit see info can find it
Yeah all the headsets do it differently
Ψ³ΩΨ§Ω ΨΉΩΩΩΩ
and thats what in english
Sand Skript?
Hello, been playing since april on and off. I consider myself average-ish. Looking for a group, never played in a team in this game. Norwegian/English
So I had a friend join last night and had time for 1 game after he installed. We did a scav run and joined as a team and we spawned in the same area. Keeping track of a teammate is hard I couldnβt imagine playing 4 or 5. Get to the extract and leave and he canβt, we didnβt realize we had different extract points lol. Is this a scav only thing? Was hard guiding him blindly over discord to his extract when he had no map
its only a scav thing from what ive learnt. scavs start a little scattered than PMC and each has their own extract points. You might have like one that matches theirs every now and again.
Perfect, thanks
yeah, bit easier as pmc's
honestly i think running scavs is easier as scavs dont shoot you right away unless you fire at them
He didnβt even get a good idea of the game as we logged into a blood bath. Dead SCAVs everywhere and we didnβt see a single living player lol
especially that scav sniper on customs in the construction area...
@tawdry roost I found that lurking can be quite bad more often than not, you gotta get a bit ballsy, you are a very easy target when creeping slowly
watch some vids of more experienced people, they usually run around more than slow walking
yea ofc
but the game can be hella scary at the start I used to creep all the time, then get one tapped from wherever
Oh yeah everyone gets scared where they freeze in a corner not wanting to move
also offline runs help a lot with building confidence, you can learn the maps, where scavs spawn, looting areas, and getting used to the way combat works, or get you used to looting faster
creeping around through open areas makes you a very easy target if you're spotted at a distance
but also be careful with sprinting... it's very loud and you don't want to be low on stamina in a situation where you need to sprint, or ADS a heavier gun
and going prone is useful in some situations but not as good as you might think... it makes a lot of noise (both doing it and moving while prone) and unless you're behind cover relative to your opponent it makes you an easy target
so don't just instinctively drop to prone when shot at unless you know for sure it's going to keep you from getting shot. In a flat-ish open area, it won't most of the time
i lurk i get fucked i run i get fucked hence why i wanted to lurk with some players just to see how down to earth people play
what maps have you played most?
factory is great for getting quick fights, not great for loot unless you happen to kill a geared pmc and get out with his stuff
Yea
yeah i farm rubles to loose and ak*** to mod
trying to loose gear fear
selling anything i fear to loose
now is probably the best time to do lose that gear fear
yup
near the wipe, it doesn't really matter if you lose your stuff
customs is probably one of the tougher maps when it comes to facing other pmcs
I just wasted most of my money buying unnecessary weapons n gear just to lose them in labs before the wipe
lots of choke points and hot spots
yep
First time modded an AR with ~300k roubles and lost it on the first match
now learning interchange with quad

interchange is great, very confusing map at first and scavs are rough but you can often run it without getting into pmc fights depending on where you go
or if you want fights, it's not hard to find them usually
I love interchange
I've been enjoying shoreline lately
i hate it too many shops too many names to remember
kind of a relaxing map to explore
Got headshotted by a sv-98 probably on my first trip in Shoreline
i got spawn camped
heh

well people will have their preferences
it's a pretty good sniper map if you're into it
i still didint do the finding signals quest
but you can kind of figure out where people like to post up for sniping and watch the eyelines to those locations
Ya
Super new player here, trying to learn the game before wipe. Just looking for some chill dude/dudes to play with and learn the game.

Hello fellow beginners. What are yβall doing to learn the game?
playing it... hehe
I mean it sounds kind of like a smart-ass answer but when it comes to this game there really isn't a shortcut for experience
yeah that's basically what im doing lol. Using maps from wiki + intuition + a few questions in #eft-chat
pretty good way to go
+offline mode to learn to shoot in this game
yo yo, pretty new to the game, anyone trying to chill and play?
@white trench yes

Ask questions. Get some answers. Some people will run with rookies to show them the ropes .
Do the headsets in game do anything

hi
@tulip wing what up?
nm. just launched discord for the first time on my new PC. never really used it before.
I swear the only time i get a return on a raid is when i scav
what do you mean by return? successfully obtained loot?
Yeah last night i got like 5 kills sniping on woods and got greedy and got killed. I usaully only extract with decent loot with scab
scav
i just started playing this game last week. I suck at it but it is so fun.
Yeah i bought it right when beta first came out and only played a few days im getting into it now though
Im not sure there were a few post in the general chat on here saying friday or a week or more. I dont think anyone knows for sure
okay. but thats the "wipe" that everyone is talking about? everyone starts fresh.
As far as i know yes
cool
