buoyant mason
#

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

dull osprey
#

ya, Im a pretty quick learner and i dont mind shutting up and listening

buoyant mason
#

Lol we're not that mean πŸ˜‰

Hey is anyone still playing willing to sherp? I’m somewhat new, hoping to learn some stuff

sour karma
#

Hi! If anyone is interested in being a sherpa pm me!

brisk mortar

bold kernel
#

What maps you guys enjoy running scavs on?

sour karma
#

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

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

sour karma
#

interchange is also good

#

I often find that the good loot is already yanked though

bold kernel
#

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?

sour karma
#

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

bold kernel
#

ahh ok, someone said if you kill scavs only scavs in that area will attack

#

but i havent seen them stop before

buoyant mason
#

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

bold kernel
#

Ahh so it’s a pretty far range tho

#

Oh wait goshan I think I’m thinking of oli

proven field
#

i think the range is like the size of factory

bold kernel
#

So you should generally if you spawn on the outskirts pop a couple scavs before entering interchange maybe

charred notch
#

Anyone know for those kill USEC quests can you kill your teammate to complete them? Lol

vague wind
#

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)

split vapor
#

@charred notch No cant do that anymore,

charred notch
#

Ye i read about it

split vapor
#

just take a friend go one server and do night factory

vague wind
#

Figuring out how to point shoot properly is a godsend

#

You can just destroy scavs in CQC because they need to ads

charred notch
#

I need usec friend. My friend is a bear lol

#

@split vapor are you a usec bro?

tawdry roost
#

@charred notch wouldn't it be easier to learn the game then just slip past the quests barely πŸ™‚

charred notch
#

Just wanna get past that quest and do some peacekeeper quest before the wipe

#

Every bear i kill is wasting my time lol

tawdry roost
#

im sure running factory would yield quick results

charred notch
#

Ye but i suck at factory lol

tawdry roost
#

welcome to my domain i suck at this game but 200k rubles later 6pmc dead with pistol on factory πŸ˜„

charred notch
#

200k got you 6 kills?

#

Sounds very good to me

tawdry roost
#

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

charred notch
#

I was using glock 18c with drum mag

#

But when i was about to leave a scav headshot me lol

tawdry roost
#

that was too expensive for me

rugged steeple
#

I just bought the game and I cant figre out how it works. help?

vague wind
#

I don't think factory needs a key?

#

idk

tawdry roost
#

factory key enables few more exits such as cellar which is super convinient

#

since gate 3 is campers paradice

vague wind
#

As i can tell

#

the keys are so expensive

tawdry roost
#

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

sour karma
#

If anyone here enjoys helping new players or is a new player themseleves looking for help send me a DM!

split vapor
#

yike

#

s

charred notch
#

I think factory key is at custom gas station which is a hotspot

#

So very hard for new players

plucky goblet
#

hm

#

no it isn't

charred notch
#

What isn’t?

#

Oh ye i got it wrong lol

#

The dorm desk

#

Which is hotspot too

#

Lmao

tawdry roost
#

its sort of cheap in flee market atm

shy fable
#

so how do I get the nice weapons like m4a1

#

do they have a specific spawn location?

tawdry roost
#

weapon boxes or pmcs

waxen forge
#

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

tawdry roost
#

ll2 peace keeper

shy fable
#

Alright

#

so any key can open any crate right?

waxen forge
#

Crates are open

#

May need a key to get into a locked room like Marked Room on Customs. Crates are open

shy fable
#

oh alright

#

does playing as a scav affect the chances of getting a key or not?

waxen forge
#

I don't believe so

shy fable
#

Alright thanks

#

and keys are not specific to each room, any keys can open any locked room

#

?

waxen forge
#

Yes. Keys are specific to a room. Marked Key goes to Marked Room. 310 East goes to Shoreline room 310 in East wing

tawdry roost
#

It kind of effects indirectly. In way you spawn later than pmc who may already picked up a key so its gone.

waxen forge
#

Correct. That makes sense

broken radish
#

is car firstaid better then salewa?

bold kernel
#

@broken radish

No. Car has 220. Salewa has 400.

late tangle
#

and car medkit uses up more when fixing bleeding

wild geyser
#

anybody wanna do customs or factory?

Question does laser do give anything other than a visible dot on screen?

spiral plaza
#

It removes idle sway during point firing

#

Which results in a super tight grouping

tawdry roost
#

Aah

spiral plaza
#

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

tawdry roost
#

I never add laser to my weapons since only ingame it only says -x ergonomics

spiral plaza
#

Lasers are worth it if you fire off the shoulder a lot

tawdry roost

#

Well anyone needs help i can help

split vapor
#

you unoffically help people

small wadi
#

i feel like they should let people know about sherpas in game

#

im pretty new any tips on what map to run?

split vapor
#

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

small wadi
#

what makes customs and interchange easy?

split vapor
#

customs is relitivly linear so to extract you need to cross the map

#

lots of places to take cover and avoid others

#

if needed

small wadi
#

ah

split vapor
#

and the first few quests are on customs

#

too

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

summer ibex
#

i scheduled mine last week for today, but never got assigned anyone 😦

split vapor
#

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

noble blade
#

I recommend asking someone to pick you up in the #pvp-lfg chat πŸ˜‰ people are willing to help teach

summer ibex
#

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

noble blade
#

People are usually ok to team up and help new people πŸ˜‰

#

I would teach but I’m a bit busy atm

bold kernel
#

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 :/

buoyant mason
#

Try night factory @bold kernel it's usually massively less populated

summer ibex
#

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

vague wind
#

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

plucky goblet
#

you didnt take his dog tag out of the raid, ergo it doesnt show any of his information

thick sage
#

no you just have to look at the dogtag I think

plucky goblet
#

nope

thick sage
#

oh, ok

plucky goblet
#

need to take it out for the infos to display in the end screen

thick sage
#

alright

shy fable
#

may sound dumb

#

but can you extract the loot you spawned with the scav

#

πŸ˜‚

#

I spawned with cool looking mask

summer ibex
#

Yes

#

Just run straight to extract

buoyant mason
#

I never knew the dog tag thing, just thought you had to inspect it πŸ˜…

fair quail
#

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.

split vapor
#

That’s actually a good question

#

No idea tbh

sour karma
#

I believe so

#

I believe its noted as "starting equipment"

#

Hmm, it isn't.

#

I would assume its like the newyears thing but idk

vague wind
#

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

sour karma
#

320 damage in the wrong place is nothing

#

gotta hit the vitals

#

either spray the chest, or calm your nerves and hit the head

split vapor
#

Poor arms and legs

#

Need to black chest or head for a kill or continue hitting other parts until their hp is gone

frank magnet
#

Anyone up for a bit of tutoring ?

vague wind
#

Do scavs take more than one headshot to kill?

split vapor
#

No

vague wind
#

I must just suck

split vapor
#

Unless you or the scav are desyncd

lapis mauve
#

or unless they are a boss scav

split vapor
#

Eh

#

Reshala and his guards can still get one tapped to the head with the right round

lapis mauve
#

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.

split vapor
#

Yeah

#

Desync looks like this

vague wind
#

what happens when the timer reaches 00:00:00?

heady ridge
#

DIE

vague wind
#

oh

split vapor
#

Death

#

Lose everything

shy fable
#

another stupid question, will my rubles be reset to 300k after the wipe ?

lapis mauve
#

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

hushed basin
#

So assuming the patch really is soon it’s a good time for new players to not worry about losing gear and money etc?

lapis mauve
#

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.

hushed basin
#

I suppose gear management will get better as I level and get cases and such? I’m going to upgrade anyway but damn standard stash is small lol

bold kernel
#

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.

small wadi
#

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?

bold kernel
#

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.

small wadi
#

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)

like if i have 50 fps and someone has 75 then will he be able to kill me faster?

please @ me

plucky goblet

its like that in every game

So if i have 3 keytools, should i just sell 1 or 2 or should i keep them?

spiral plaza
#

Depends. Wipe is around the corner so idk if it matters much

upbeat flicker
#

well up until wip

spiral plaza
#

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

upbeat flicker
#

gotcha

spiral plaza
#

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

upbeat flicker
#

i dont have docs cases yet. unfortunately

spiral plaza
#

Aah

#

Then sell 1 keytool and buy a docs case and you have some money left over ^^

anybody able to give me a pretty good noob loadout?

What map

split gull

uhh, mostly customs

steady pilot
#

ree korgi

spiral plaza
#

How new, like super fresh?

split gull
#

I probably have total 20 hr

spiral plaza
#

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)

hushed basin
#

check youtube pestily 1-40 best gear leveling

spiral plaza
#

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

split gull
#

ok ty

hushed basin
#

Hunter is nice, I just got one from a scav but lost it. Was fun lol

steady pilot
#

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

spiral plaza
#

Ehh, I like recommending the iron sight SKS at first if really new

steady pilot
#

what? you cant see shit

spiral plaza
#

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

steady pilot
#

let me play you the sound of my people

#

No noobie should use sks

neat grove
#

akm

steady pilot
#

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

spiral plaza
#

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

bold kernel
#

It doesnt look like that for me. Something is wrong?

shell steeple
#

Fov

steady pilot
#

@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

Uhh wut

Since when is a normie SKS 20k+

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

#

I started last night, and I just filled my stash, I have no idea what to keep. T_T

hushed basin
#

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

radiant wolf
#

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

hushed basin
#

Check a guide on good beginner guns and gear, sell the rest that can’t be bartered and make a few ready to go loadouts. It sucks when you are scared to sell stuff because you don’t know what is good or not

#

Throwing stuff in bags in stash is awesome except trying to manage everything after also sucks. It’s a good time to just screw around and try stuff since the wipe will return you to square 1

charred nymph
#

i heard sks is a good gun

hushed basin
#

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.

#

I’m trying to tweak my sounds so I can hear footsteps better over the ambient sounds.

do people use this chat

finite cobalt
#

is the scav boss name on woods called Nikita Rumyn ??

plucky goblet
#

theres no scav boss on woods yet

finite cobalt
#

ahhh i see, then this is just some normal scav ??

late tangle
#

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

charred nymph
#

Ah

#

I see I usually tap with all guns

#

Like I burst

late tangle
#

have you ever modded guns?

charred nymph
#

So it's more accurate that way instead of spraying

#

No I haven't tried modding

late tangle
#

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 ?

charred nymph
#

Not yet

#

As in like offline shooting?

late tangle
#

no like hip firing

charred nymph
#

No

late tangle
#

but its called point shooting

#

since it has almost perfect acuracy

#

DO YOU KNOW DA WAE ?

Ah where do I find that

hip firing?

charred nymph
#

Yeah

late tangle

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 time is it for you?

#

@late tangle oh yeah and levelling that skill, makes sense

late tangle
#

leveling which skill?

#

perception?

hushed basin
#

Yeah for hearing right?

late tangle
#

it really doesn't do too much

#

i have like level 17 perception and still run comtacs

hushed basin
#

Ahh mostly the comtacs got it

#

Thnx

late tangle
#

ya they help alot

#

but they do cost a bit

hushed basin
#

Worth the price of not cowering in a corner trying it hear too scared to move lol

when tthat happens i just say fuck it and throw a grenade then rush

#

I just can't build the courage to play tarkov, what is wrong with me. Its just pixels for fucks sake

pseudo tusk
#

practice get used man

#

do scav to grind cash to buy gear or take gear from scav

#

do PMC run

#

do it again

vague wind
#

I suck so much ass, I can't even get to extraction as scav

pseudo tusk
#

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

vague wind
#

Im also getting low fps

#

which doesn't help

pseudo tusk
#

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

vague wind
#

I do not understand my FPS issue, I have a i7-4790k + GTX 1070ti + 16gb of ram, but im getting like 50 fps

pseudo tusk
#

hm ? 50 is good, do you mean like you get stuttering often ?

vague wind
#

Stuttering and the low fps makes the game feel really sluggish

pseudo tusk
#

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

vague wind
#

Perhaps im just whining too much

pseudo tusk
#

frustration is part of playing this game man

vague wind
#

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

pseudo tusk
#

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 πŸ™‚

vague wind
#

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

pseudo tusk
#

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

vague wind
#

Yeah i've used the vepr-136 but just suck with single fire guns

pseudo tusk
#

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

vague wind
#

I shouldn't worry about losing stuff since the wipe is in 1 week right?

pseudo tusk
#

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

@vague wind What are your graphic settings set to? Don’t go above fxaa in anti aliasing it’s not optimized and will cut fps by a ton.

Looking for a duo to learn routes/maps from.

bold kernel
#

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

split vapor
#

normally low fps is due to people with good pc's playing on low

bold kernel
#

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?

split vapor
#

muh cpu stress

bold kernel
#

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?

also if anyone needs assistance with quests i can help for a bit

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.

regal plover

He has a PSO on LL1 now too

#

So dovetail weapons can have some range straight away

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

wheat depot
#

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?

regal plover
#

It's likely you're hitting their arms as well.

hushed basin
#

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.

wheat depot
#

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.

vague wind
#

Try hip-firing, compared to most FPS's its quite accurate

lapis mauve
#

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)

round wagon

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

tawdry roost
#

@round wagon get used to it πŸ˜„

round wagon
#

@tawdry roost i dont know very many locations besides both the gas stations, and dorms.

tawdry roost
#

play offline learn maps exits

#

its tough and challanging game. it just beats ya

lapis mauve
#

print out a map with the extracts, i think the wiki has them

regal plover
tawdry roost
#

nice

#

id do bold fonts though

#

on callouts

regal plover
#

The map is already pretty "busy" with stuff so i'm not sure about making the on-map font any larger

tawdry roost
#

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

regal plover
#

I might ask the map maker to try that out then and see how it looks

tawdry roost
#

other wise looks nice not too colorful i like the isometric look

sand apex
#

pretty nice map

round wagon
#

low river
#

Anyone that needs some help with the game can join me in [Trio] Bravo

placid grove
#

@low river You still helping newbies out?

low river
#

@placid grove Yes I sent you a message

round wagon
#

@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

south wraith
#

It's the difference in price

summer ibex
#

@round wagon the containers are also earnable in game through the completion of quests, or purchasing from other players

plucky goblet
#

not the gamma

summer ibex
#

whats the one thats close to it, is it the kappa or the epsilon?

plucky goblet
#

both

worthy surge
#

Epsilon you cab get at the end of punisher series and kappa is from fence after completing every single quest in the game

tawdry roost
#

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

warm shell
#

so sc will be just gone from the game?

summer ibex
#

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? πŸ˜„

hushed basin
#

Check Pestily or Veritas on youtube lots of new user guides and such.

tawdry roost
#

any good reads/tutorials on movement general lurking since i still get rekt quite often

hushed basin
#

I didn’t 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

split vapor
#

Yeah all the headsets do it differently

#

hi! I'm new!

#

I see to do really well so far I just need someone to play with

mortal sparrow
#

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

hushed basin
#

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 couldn’t imagine playing 4 or 5. Get to the extract and leave and he can’t, we didn’t 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

warm shell
#

yep, you have the same extracts if you group as pmc

#

scav can change

solar imp
#

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.

hushed basin
#

Perfect, thanks

lapis mauve
#

yeah, bit easier as pmc's

solar imp
#

honestly i think running scavs is easier as scavs dont shoot you right away unless you fire at them

hushed basin
#

He didn’t even get a good idea of the game as we logged into a blood bath. Dead SCAVs everywhere and we didn’t see a single living player lol

solar imp
#

especially that scav sniper on customs in the construction area...

warm shell
#

@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

hushed basin
#

Oh yeah everyone gets scared where they freeze in a corner not wanting to move

warm shell
#

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

sand apex
#

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

tawdry roost
#

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

sand apex
#

what maps have you played most?

tawdry roost
#

customs

#

and scaved the f out of factory

sand apex
#

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

ashen basalt
#

Yea

tawdry roost
#

yeah i farm rubles to loose and ak*** to mod

#

trying to loose gear fear

#

selling anything i fear to loose

warm shell
#

now is probably the best time to do lose that gear fear

tawdry roost
#

yup

warm shell
#

near the wipe, it doesn't really matter if you lose your stuff

sand apex
#

customs is probably one of the tougher maps when it comes to facing other pmcs

warm shell
#

I just wasted most of my money buying unnecessary weapons n gear just to lose them in labs before the wipe

sand apex
#

lots of choke points and hot spots

warm shell
#

yep

ashen basalt
#

First time modded an AR with ~300k roubles and lost it on the first match

tawdry roost
#

now learning interchange with quad

ashen basalt
sand apex
#

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

ashen basalt
#

I love interchange

sand apex
#

I've been enjoying shoreline lately

tawdry roost
#

i hate it too many shops too many names to remember

sand apex
#

kind of a relaxing map to explore

ashen basalt
#

Got headshotted by a sv-98 probably on my first trip in Shoreline

tawdry roost
#

i got spawn camped

sand apex
#

heh

tawdry roost
warm shell
#

well people will have their preferences

sand apex
#

it's a pretty good sniper map if you're into it

tawdry roost
#

i still didint do the finding signals quest

sand apex
#

but you can kind of figure out where people like to post up for sniping and watch the eyelines to those locations

ashen basalt
#

Ya

sand apex
#

west wing roof has a great view of the power plant

#

I sniped several scavs from there
