livid spear
#

lol why

#

really?

#

i seem to hit them fine

#

i mean, the chest is always easiest

#

but the legs help me line up a 2nd shot to the head

#

stunlock the legs and they can't run away

#

slow walking

#

line up headshot

#

oh

#

well i black legs then

#

ohhhhhhhhh

#

i misinterpreted

#

how can you do that

rancid hawk
#

stunlock meta present even in tarkov

livid spear
#

your knowledge is much deeper than mine

#

i know no metas

rancid hawk
#

i see man i pull trigger while gun point toward man

#

sometimes nothink is the easiest way to go

livid spear
#

haha

#

always

rancid hawk
#

a guy in our squad is like that

livid spear
#

my problem is that people always see me before i see them

pine robin
#

WHAT!

livid spear
#

i have no problem with scavs, and kill raiders pretty well for 3 weeks, but pmc's kick my ass

rancid hawk
#

i found a pmc on factory once

#

we exchanged shots, and he literally ran all the way to office on the metal rails and fucking assassins creed'd me

#

i tried keeping track of him but my just sucked

#

my aim*

#

and just yesterday on resort I've found out the recoil on the m4 i have in possession is absolutely insane

livid spear
#

i always try and go for positioning

#

i think i'm too predictable

#

or not aware enough

#

i always make contact and then reposition

#

and then get gaped

#

i think my monitor is shit

#

they will see things that i don't see yet at all

#

but maybe i'll be able to see better with more experience

#

1680x1050

#

idk

#

20?

#

maybe 21, 22

#

yeah

#

idk

#

i'm still bad

#

i just don't have that awareness yet

#

right

#

i know

regal plover
#

Oh man the fog got worse. Visibility down to 150m. :(

livid spear
#

i'm willing to grind through it

reef spoke
#

f

livid spear
#

whaaaat didn't even think it could get worse!

regal plover
#

Tower, 20m left in Shoreline raid and i'm walking down the beach. I lie down ~450-500m from the island and some bastard sitting in the bridge of the ship 1-taps me between the eyes with an R700

rancid hawk
#

oh my

regal plover
#

It was a solid 400m shot they did.

rancid hawk
#

maybe they prepd

#

yeah

reef spoke
#

@regal plover HA

regal plover

#

Nah he deserves it, me and him do that to people daily.

#

#

so what, he gets his ass handed to him

reef spoke
#

you can be a god mechnaically, but if you don't know how the game works you'll get fucked

rancid hawk
#

bruh

reef spoke
#

Rocking the mk4 LR Orbs?

#

You mess with my range finding bullshit yet or nah?

reef spoke
#

I'm working on that, it's hard for me to know what to dumb down for lack of a better word since I've put it in pretty basic components atm

I'll likely redo some of it

#

I had thought about doing that , haven't gotten around to it just yet.

#

Honestly the actually mag is probably subjective to aspect ratio. Res, and other things so that should probably be more " magnification relation" than actual mag

#

Mhmm

#

I honestly think the vudu is bugged, there was a 2 - 10 power scope , the nxs in game but it got removed, I think they re used assets from that and forgot to change the magnifaction

#

Mm night force nsx ? That might have been what it was called

#

Idk, it's in the wiki

#

So how that works is measuring an object in pixels

#

And comparing the size of the objects in pixels

#

Since I'm not moving the only change should be from the optic

#

More pixels, more zoom

#

One sec I'll grab a pic

#

Mhmm

#

Possibly

#

Have a good one my friend reat well

tawdry roost
ashen basalt
#

yeah?

buoyant mason
#

Oof

#

Fun times

ashen basalt
#

That happens

#

I feel bad for the level 2 pmc I just one shot pumped as a scav

#

Right after he meet me at the corner of a shop

mystic talon
#

I need help

#

I can't win gunfights against players

#

D:

bronze storm
#

Starting to figure this out. Got 2 kills before I died last run, booyah.

mystic talon
#

I can kill like 3-6 raiders no problem but when a player comes i might as well just run

buoyant mason
#

Dive into PVP next wipe when everyone is shitly geared, guarantee it'll help you in the long run

#

If you can dome someone with a stock SKS you can do it easier with a kitted M4 😃

mystic talon
#

yea prolly

buoyant mason
#

100% my friend, it'll help loads and give you a lot of confidence!

feral gorge
#

@molten trout

#

hm wrong ping nice

tawdry roost
#

@mystic talon i cant win also but i still go in for shaits unt gygless need to train

buoyant mason
#

Practice makes perfect 😘

tawdry roost
#

yeah and nobody picks my decked out aks anymore

#

huehuehuehue

buoyant mason
#

That's a bonus then mate!

mystic talon
#

i got 300~ hours and i suck ass

buoyant mason
#

You solo or squad? I have over 1000 and I'm shite when it comes to solo play

#

Well, let me rephrase that, I have no confidence when I go in solo so my gameplay suffers because of it

#

Even if I have a hatchling with me I'm instantly more relaxed and do a hell of a lot better as a result

tawdry roost
#

is just me or raiders dont roam around as much as scavs?

buoyant mason
#

They seem to just sit unless they're aggravated in my opinion ☺️

tawdry roost
#

went to woods. never saw a raider, only heard 25+ nades and PMC fights in middle

buoyant mason
#

Sounds about right for most raids 😅

green blade
#

What is LL in last announcement?

plucky goblet
#

Loyality Level

bronze storm
#

Whats the deal with extractions? I just had a sweet scav run but the 5 extraction points i could make all didnt work and i timed out

tawdry roost
#

only 1-2 works

#

when you spawn it shows which

#

or double click O button

bronze storm
#

ah

tawdry roost
#

if im not mistaken you are always given 2 as scav and those work

#

as a PMC you have 1-4 labs is an exception. 1-2 work always another 2-3 are timed or money conditioned

bronze storm
#

Cool. Ill keep that in mind. ty

buoyant mason
#

That's why I love interchange you only get 2 and power station isn't worth using 😎

#

Best and worst things about that map those extracts, you will have 50% of players try extract past you if you spawn camp, hence why people do it there

radiant wolf
#

that feeling as a new player when you unload 30 ak rounds on a pmc, hit 23, deal 200 damage, and absorb 514. Kappa

tawdry roost
#

yeah at this point in the game pmcs are juiced

#

my best weapon is of no intrest for PMCs

hasty palm
#

Is the wipe event happening rn? Went in on a scav run in factory and every scav was geared up really well

buoyant mason
#

yeah @hasty palm

#

and you gotta invest in good ammo bud, its frustrating but learn the best ammo for the job! @radiant wolf

#

i can link you an ammo chart if that would be at all useful?

gaunt iron
#

@radiant wolf use the good ammo! Most ammo types that start with the letter B eg. Bp and bs can deal good damage the geared pmcs

#

I had the dream SCAV run last night, came to the end of a fire fight and killed the last guy and each had better gear than the next. Sick guns. One gun was 170k alone

#

Yeah exactly, too bad it’s pre wipe. Oh well it will be fun for now to play with

#

I’m new so I’m excited for a wipe.

#

Even at release they will have to have “seasons” and wipe once in a while to reset economy i think

tawdry roost
#

they need to fix labs/economy

#

what i hate about the wipe is loosing levels and loyalty

raven horizon
#

When does all the stuff on the market get cheap?

late tangle
#

Because it's the new change @raven horizon

#

They are making every cost almost nothing

raven horizon
#

What?

#

When do they do that?

late tangle
#

It's the prewipe event

#

Only for the next 6 days or so

raven horizon
#

ah okay.

late tangle
#

Then everyone gets reset and all is back to normal

#

Just like how raiders are everywhere raping everyone

raven horizon
#

👍

radiant wolf
#

I havent survived a single game since raiders were added

#

guys

#

what am I missing here?

radiant wolf
#

magazine?

split garden
#

but it wont let me take the gun

#

its red

#

look to the right in the stash

radiant wolf
#

looks like you're missing a magazine and a barrel

#

but im no expert

split garden
#

Ive got the barrel

#

and the magazine isnt essential

if its red it means I cant take into my hands

Same

tawdry roost
#

i have hard time finding raiders on woods

lapis mauve
#

i hear they wander

tawdry roost
#

offline mode does not work? or its just bugged out for me no scav spawns

split vapor
#

Did you enable PvE

tawdry roost
#

yup

brittle gate
#

do all pmcs spawn in at the same time in a raid? or is it staggered? and do player scavs spawn at the start of a raid too or throughout randomly?

split vapor
#

yeah all pmc's start at the same time

#

only player scavs are staggered in joining the match

brittle gate
#

I see, thanks. is there like a typical timeframe that player scavs spawn in? like between 2 and 20 minutes after the raid starts or something like that?

late tangle
#

we don't really know about that

#

its mostly random

#

but they do stop spawning at a certain point

hushed basin
#

I was running over water at customs heading to crossroads and at the bottom I hear SCAVs way beyond and then the faint sound of a grenade. I started booking it and took a big hit but survived. These SCAVs are pro

buoyant mason
#

Anywhere up to with about 20 minutes left in my experience

#

In regards to the scav thing

#

And yeah @hushed basin they're the only reason labs is somewhat semi-reasonably risky

brittle gate
#

I see, thanks

late tangle
#

is it just me or have I been getting alot of desync today?

#

like i shot this guy with 7n1 3 times and he didn't die

#

it says i got the hits too

#

they all 100% hit his thorax too on level 3 armour

slim sable
#

You sure they all hit the chest and not stomach? 7n39 only does 37 flesh dmg before reduction

late tangle
#

7n1 from a mosin

#

not 7n39

slim sable
#

oh oops

#

yeah homie shoulda died, had to be desync or stomach shots

late tangle
#

he only died after that when i hit 2 headshots

#

like holy

#

i think its the raiders

#

cause i hit one guy earlier 36 times with bs rounds and he didn't die

slim sable
#

Oh yeah raiders have double hp to everything except head

late tangle
#

no a player

slim sable
#

OHHH i see what you mean

late tangle
#

i mean i think raiders are causing desync

#

since they are flooding everywhere

slim sable
#

Yeah, they could take up to many server resources because they're "smarter" that a regular scav

late tangle
#

its kinda killing the game for me rn

slim sable
#

But idk anything about server resource management 🤷🏿

late tangle
#

like ive traded with people 6 times today

#

like wtf

#

like we're shooting at each other

#

then we go back around a corner

#

and just fall over dead

#

like a second or 2 delay wtf

slim sable
#

What servers are you on? I've not had a problem other than the normal .5 second hit registration delay

late tangle
#

im playing on chicago and the closest server to me

#

like east coast us

slim sable
#

hm.

late tangle
#

I keep getting lazered on sniper rock by raiders in gas station

#

i don't think that should be happening

slim sable
#

I get laser'b by reshalas bois there all the time

#

thats not a good spot

#

Fight them closer, bait around corners

late tangle
#

nah i mean like im near the tower

#

and they start shooting me through the bushes

slim sable
#

Like i said, not a good spot

#

You need solid cover for raiders and boss ai

#

Its like they have true sight

late tangle
#

like ive burned almost 2 million roubles dying to bullshit and scavs

#

ive made more then that but its like i have to change my playstyle completely

Hi

#

You joined straight into the pre-wipe raider event.

#

So extreme death around every corner!

leaden crow
#

yeah I know XD ive been playing for about a week now

#

just struggling to get out with good loot

brittle gate
#

a friend and I started 2 days ago, needless to say we're getting destroyed

leaden crow
#

I feel ya bro

brittle gate
#

won't help that next event is traders not selling anything anymore

leaden crow
#

tell me about it

regal plover
#

The game is likely resetting within a week or so, so try your best to have fun! If you're really looking to make money, try to avoid active gunfights and just scavenge afterwords. Plentry of raider loot is left behind because they have so much.

  1. Raiders - on, anything else above is OFF. Plus every LL unlocked, items are unlimited and cheap.

What does this mean

plucky goblet

raiders are on and all traders on ll4

And you pay almost nothing for items

plucky goblet

well, yeah, and unlimited so probably can't sell out and all items that are restricted to like 4 per reset aren't limited anymore

4?

4-6

in a few days all traders will be unlocked and prices will be very low

ok ty thiccy

ashen trail
#

anybody have tips for dealing with raiders im really struggiling with this event.

fringe narwhal
#

go on maps with longer ranges

#

raiders cant deal with that like normal scavs can

woods and shoreline have lower player counts so you will more likely survive

brand new to the game! ive got the basic mechanics down. just lookin to team up with someone willing to show the ropes. you can keep the best loot. idc. i just wanna learn lol

bold kernel
#

@fickle tusk well, you've came at an interesting time. Pre-wipe events have started, so all of the scavs, AI on the map, are the hardest one. Also, all the traders, the shops in the game, are empty.

#

So um. Just jump into it! You'll at least get to learn some gun play. Or try #pvp-lfg. However, just know this isn't how it always is.

fickle tusk
#

no i completely understand lol ive actually met a good group of people who were super helpful about everything and explaining the pre wipe event and what not. lol thank you though!

south imp
#

Any tips to overcome gear fear? I've watched popular vids but the game is a horror game for me :S

reef spoke
#

@south imp

How often do you extract?

south imp
#

Well, it's more about lauching the game tbh, extraction are okay for me personaly, but i've got these urges to play the game like a badass but can't get myself to actually lauch the session.

waxen forge
#

Wipe is coming...we'll all be back to 1. Just run it. Don't worry about gear. You can always get more.

bold kernel
#

@south imp don't feel bad, it happened to me. I spent my first two wipe cycles using primarily a pistol. What helped me overcome it was playing with friends.

#

After getting used to geared raids, I missed it when I played solo I started bringing more and more gear out.

reef spoke
#

@south imp

Well the reason I ask is because your success rate can net you a modest amount of constant income, A kit for me cost 2 raids profit from a "meh" run. This concept can help you figure out what a "safe" gear is for you to run which will slowly grow

#

So however often you extract you can use to gague how much you can "safely" invest in kits.

ocean crag
#

to level up a trader, does only buying stuff count, or does selling also increase that spent number? or is it net of buying and selling

#

and i just want to know what the fuck killed me

idle bluff
#

Don’t know why people keep asking about that, it’s not hard to distinguish between the sounds of the guns in game.

torpid wraith
#

He was a solid 40 feet away from me in factory. hard to tell

#

especially for someone new

idle bluff
#

Aah, thought this was eft chat

torpid wraith
#

and im mostly just confused becuase everytime i go up against people with facemasks they tank an entire clip.

lapis mauve
#

yeah, i can't tell gun sounds apart yet either

#

what ammo are you using vs facemasks? most of them are level 3

torpid wraith
#

i understnad why mine are tanking cuase im using little subs with the pst ammo. but what ammo do scavs use that 2 taps them

lapis mauve
#

depends on the gun

idle bluff
#

Class 3 faceshields don’t stop too much in all honesty.

#

If you’re using 9x19 PSTs you only option is to aim for the leg.

torpid wraith
#

i mean. i straight up layed 25 bullets from my pp-19 into a face one time and he didnt die

idle bluff
#

To repeat myself

lapis mauve
#

sounds about right. use 6.3 ap if you can afford it

idle bluff
#

If you use 9x19 PSTs, you aim for the legs.

lapis mauve
#

pst is only useful vs paca

idle bluff
#

They have no practical use in penetrating armor.

torpid wraith
#

so do the skills carry over from wipes or no?

bold kernel
#

no

spiral dirge
#

there have been "light wipes" where skills and/or trader rep carried over but generally no, a wipe is a reset to stock

sharp marlin
#

so just started playing is there no way to buy ammo and stuff right now bc of the update coming out or am i missing something

torpid wraith
#

you can buy from flea market. but alot of it is expensive rn

#

that will change when update comes out cause the vendors will come out again.

#

rn its just one

sharp marlin
#

oh ok thank you i was wondering why none of the vendors had anything

torpid wraith
#

does all the shit you have to examine carry over or does all become unknown again

bold kernel
#

@torpid wraith No, clean slate. Everything wipes except friends.

chrome flume
#

hello, i have a problem i start my game and i cant buy anathink, all stores are emty next day was same what should i do

#

hello?

plucky goblet
#

thats the current event @chrome flume

chrome flume
#

and when its end

plucky goblet
#

noone knows

chrome flume
#

ok thanks

plucky goblet
#

I'd guess today or tomorrow, but its also possible that all the events stack and it stays a few more days

buoyant mason
#

im surprised they didnt do the all LL for the weekend, the servers woulda been packed

plucky goblet
#

yep

weary eagle
steel owl
#

the event has 4 stages and the wiped traders are in stage 2...so 2 more stages to go until the patch

icy berry
#

I'm new to Tarkov and I was told to put a scope on the SKS i need a dovetail mount but the dovetail mount won't go on the SKS. I'm a little confused.

plucky goblet
#

OP-SKS

#

normal SKS doesnt take them

icy berry
#

rip

#

What do i need for the normal sks?

waxen forge
#

You cannot mount an optic on the Brown or standard SKS.

#

Does not have mounting point

icy berry
#

@waxen forge yeah i just watched a tutorial on it. Thanks!

ivory ermine
#

this for the op

waxen forge
#

No sweat. Also with the trader wipe part of the pre-wipe events you are going to be limited on what you can buy. Items from flea will be inflated in price.

ivory ermine
#

btw guys all scavs are hostile now right?

waxen forge
#

Raider scavs are. There are still a few standard scavs floating around on maps.

ivory ermine
#

yea but i wont take the time to see that ^^

waxen forge
#

True. Fire away

icy berry
#

@ivory ermine thanks!

snow kite
#

best tip for a beginner like myself atm is to not play the game at all... those raiders lock onto you even if they see one pixel of you

#

and ofc every shot is perfect

vague wind
#

wait till wipe, probably monday or tuesday

ivory ermine
#

this is the best time bruf just go scav runs im beginner also getting like 15 kills on some good runs..

snow kite
#

@vague wind exactly...the thing is its even not worth the time in the case of looting because its gonna be wiped anyway so pure gameplay wise, not interesting atm

wheat depot
#

7.1 surround sound on or off? Been reading and alot of people say it makes things worse

brittle gate
#

Umm... shouldn't I be able to buy stuff that says "a lot" from fence with no problem?

How does one find groups for this game?

mystic talon

whats the max level for recoil control?

waxen forge
#

@mild gull Here on Discord in the #pvp-lfg section is one way.

@waxen forge I can not see that section is seems

#

does the wipe happen on monday

snow kite
#

@compact lagoon oh trust me...i am lvl 13 or so and played last week with friends that are around 30+ lvl...guess who died first always? 😦

waxen forge
#

Wipe will probably be this week although no official date has been stated

compact lagoon
#

thanks

cloud reef
#

I find guns that are blacked out. It says 'Item not found in Raid'. WHat do I do about it?

compact lagoon
#

i am also looking for people to play with non of my friends like this game

snow kite
#

but it was amazing fun anyways...but now with this "events" and ludacris raiders with their laser guided grenades and stuff...nope

compact lagoon
#

yeah its crazy for sure diver

waxen forge
#

You have to examine a weapon or gear before you can equip it @cloud reef

snow kite
#

its just a bit too much for a noobish beginner like me

cloud reef
#

Damn

Thankyou

how often can u reset your account?

weary bobcat
#

is it better to always aim for the head? I notice often i pump a full mag into the torso and the enemy lives. I know ballistics and the type of armor are important variables but I feel like i should always aim for the head as my shots into torso seem to do little

waxen forge
#

Head shots would be encouraged. However if 9mm I'd leg them. For Killa this applied as well due to high level armor and helmet

weary bobcat
#

ok ty

#

and what is Killa?

waxen forge
#

Scav boss on Interchange

weary bobcat
#

ah ok ty

#

i play mostly customs/woods/factory

#

in factory i try to go in kil some scav raiders and get out but im having little luck xD

snow kite
#

@weary bobcat just had a game where a guy loaded me with 13 rounds of 5.45 Tracer ammo and i had level 4 armor and helmet and all he did was fracture one of my arms (not even blacked it out) so, ammo is important which do you use

bold kernel
#

@wheat depot im playing with sennheiser 373D and 7.1 is worst for the moment but i would say try it in .12 its possible there some change!

No official date. I would expect the trader part will end Sunday or Monday and the container part will begin then. Max traders may begin same time as container or may be separate.

Hey folks, how do you deal with the alt-tab issues? I alt tab and the game is blown up and washed out. Alt+enter brings it back but then its not fullscreened and the bottom of the screen is cut off. There any good fixes for this?

waxen forge
#

I use windowed borderless. When I tab (while in game) and the inventory pops up I can mouse over to my other monitor. Must set up Windowed borderless in launcher and in the in-game settings.

torpid wraith
#

are quests things worth to do or should the focus be on pvp/getting geared for labs after wipe

scarlet sequoia
#

@torpid wraith they help u level up ur traders and get access to better gear even though they're a pain in the ass id say its worth it in the long run

torpid wraith
#

alright. cool. i imagine all the quest spots with be high traffic area at beginning since everyone is gonna be on em

scarlet sequoia
#

in the beginning yeah but lots of them are already in somewhat populated areas anyway

deep pewter
#

so uh

#

Every single scav in the game is a Raider atm?

hushed furnace
#

yup

deep pewter
#

well

#

i picked the worst time to get back into the game

hushed furnace
#

yea the wipe events are not fun for those starting or getting back into things.

#

I'm getting kinda sick of training on offline myself.

deep pewter
#

when does 0.12 launch

hushed furnace
#

couple of days

deep pewter
#

let's hope

hushed furnace
#

there's just 2 more events so I'd say writhen the week

deep pewter
#

are there raiders in offline?

hushed furnace
#

yup

deep pewter
#

a bit harsh

hushed furnace
#

they are considered boss so you have to also check boss scavs in order for anything to spawn in offline

deep pewter
#

oh well

distant yew
#

hello new guy looking for someone

deep pewter
#

do the raiders attack player-controlled scavs?

granite echo
#

Just think of it as hard mode and once the wipe happens you'll be a god cause it'll be back to ez mode

#

Yes they are always hostile

deep pewter
#

oh boy

#

fuckin

#

headache-mode

granite echo
#

As a new player so far my best plays has been to wait for a gunfight to finish and pickup the guns/stuff after the badass who couldn't pick it all up leaves lmaoo

regal plover
#

If you spawn in on Factory as a player scav there's a good chance you'll die before your screen is even done fading in

granite echo
#

Then have fun with a kitted PMC

regal plover
#

Demon, you're playing Scav properly then lol

granite echo
#

Yeet! It's a ton of fun

deep pewter
#

i want to play pmc

#

but i have anxiety

#

and that's no bueno

regal plover
#

Stop the gear fear

deep pewter
#

it's not gear fear

granite echo
#

Just don't bring out stuff that makes you anxious and sell the stuff that's really expensive so you have three decent kits that don't make you anxious instead of one kit

deep pewter
#

i mean it iis sometimes

#

the constant fear of dying

#

the way some maps can be totally quiet

#

and then a gunshot goes off

#

and all the blood sshoots out of your body

#

at mach 2

#

one of my first pmc runs, i killed a few pmc's in woods

#

barely got away

#

when i extracted, i swear i almost passed out from stress

no matter what i have on me, when i die, i get so fucking angry

My problem is nothing is showing up with the traders. I can only sell to them

#

not a lot. I have only been playing for about a week and no. I played ark

#

to keep everything fair for new players correct?

wheat depot
#

gecko, current event is in place turning off all traders except for fence. Who sells miscellaneous gear at high prices. Alternatively, you can buy from flea market from other players. Also at a jacked up price.

I think keys are one of the things they would prefer you couldn't put in

so if you got a key you have to extract with it

once you do you have it forever (unless it's that new limited-use marked key heh)

vital lark

yeah

weary bobcat

no you get a new one

weary bobcat

each event seems to be lasting around 2 days. this is near the end of the second event. just speculation though.

do players keep on spawning in a raid session?

summer ibex

as scavs they can

but not as pmcs

Question 1: How many people are in a map? PMC's and scavs?
Question 2: Throughout a game, do new PMC's and scavs spawn?
Question 3: How to know if a scav was a player or a NPC?

Is it just me when i go to pretty much any trader it doesnt show their inventory, or do i need to do a quest before they sell anything?

I just got EFT about 6 days ago so I'm new to the game,im a bit burnt out on solos, so i did my first looking for group, got invited to a group and was spawn killed by Tolya Zabor, in game time was 4 seconds

no i never played rust

I know about the wipe I'm not too fussed about it,,it just sucks that I was burnt out on the game than I thought I'll try looking for a group and then

Don't suppose they're going to have a penalty system in place for unsportsmanlike things

should i just refund this i cant even buy items from fence

#

You can’t refund

#

It’s in the ToS

#

Plus pre wipe event

jade shuttle
#

oh, well reckon i got no reason to play rn

split vapor
#

Why

#

It’s a temp event

#

Welp I guess there’s always fortnite for ye

jade shuttle
#

A. cant buy anything B. running out of shooty sticks

lapis mauve
#

in less than a week (probably) the game resets and goes back to normal

#

although in a few days the traders should sell things for almost nothing

jade shuttle
#

and thats gonna fix the not being able to buy anything?

lapis mauve
#

yeah

jade shuttle
#

i have 300k rubles, thats not the issue

lapis mauve
#

a few other people also cant buy from fence, probably a bug from the event

jade shuttle
#

the issue is it literally says "already purchased" on every item

#

yeah, so what i just wait til the event ends and pray the bug gets fixed?

lapis mauve
#

probably, i would guess in a few days when the other traders come back (with much lower prices) the bug will be gone. i haven't heard of this issue before.

split vapor
#

Dude again its the pre wipe event

#

its temp

#

for only a few days

#

maybe 1-2 days

proven field
#

do you not understand he has a bug preventing him from buying anything from fence? @split vapor

lapis mauve

either play as scav and loot already dead raiders or don't play for a few days.

#

Hey, does anyone know how to enable the hotkey overlay on my screen, and how to set items to hotkeys 4+?

#

"always show interface elements"? for the first part?

weary eagle
#

Yes

#

then you have to equip the item (grenades, for example) in pokets or a vests

#

then with the mouse on that item inside the vest/poket, press 4,5,6...

ahhhh that makes sense, would be useful to not have to TAB every time i need to use meds

What's the difference between the keycards?

opaque mirage
#

each card opens a diffrent room in Labs

naive geode
#

ohh, so there is only 1 keycard that makes you enter the map?

#

you cant get a keycard with more uses?

opaque mirage
#

The White Keycard or Terragroup Labs Entry Card allows access to Labs and is a one time use. Diffrent Colored Keycards have unlimited uses and open rooms in Labs.

naive geode
#

So i could buy the yellow one? and keep useing that, to enter labs? instead of buying a white one everytime?

plucky goblet
#

no

opaque mirage
#

No, The White Keycard is required to go inside of Labs. The Yellow Keycard for example opens a room to disable the alarm inside of Labs.

plucky goblet
#

the yellow one is only for a room on the map, not the map itself

shy fable

what's a pre wipe?

brisk mortar
#

It just means events and stuff before the wipe.

shy fable

Alright

minor raven
#

How do you escape?

sand apex
#

we can never escape, we are stuck here forever

minor raven
#

well shit

torpid wraith
#

Double tap O to see what extraction points are open in that specific raid. Then find a map online of the map you are playing, and make your way to that area

minor raven
#

alright thanks bro👍

sand apex
#

once you learn the maps you'll have a good idea of where to go to escape

#

but online maps are vital for new players

#

the game does nothing to help you find the extraction points heh

minor raven
#

👍

sand apex
#

also, on that double-o popup, if you see extractions with ??:??:?? next to them

#

that means they aren't guaranteed to be available

minor raven
#

Alright

#

thanks

sand apex
#

there are some extractions that require money to use

#

like on customs, the V-Ex extraction requires 3000 rubles

minor raven
#

do they provide any advantages?

sand apex
#

the customs one is by dorms, which is more central, letting you escape quicker instead of having to go to one of the map sides

#

same with the one on woods

minor raven
#

👍

sand apex
#

on interchange, the powerplant one just provides an alternative, since there are only 2 other extracts and only one of them is available to you depending on where you spawn

arctic elm
#

i would say the only advantage of those that require rubles/ or keys to leave is that it is less likely that someone is waiting there to kill you as you escape

minor raven
#

Makes sense. Thanks

bold kernel
#

am unable to level up at all no matter what I do even after many succesfull extractions hit maybe pass lvl 7 but check back my stats are 0% and my rank is back at 2

vital lark
#

were you playing offline?

bold kernel
#

Anybody know how to stop getting spawn killed every match?

#

Just died in 6 seconds these two guys seemed they they were just camping spawn

#

@bold kernel are you only doing scav raids? Those don’t give xp to your pmc

sand apex
#

What map Pat?

bold kernel
#

Factory

sand apex
#

scav raid?

bold kernel
#

I was playing PMC

sand apex
#

well generally everyone spawns at the same time in different spots (though slightly late spawns are possible), but factory is small and people know the spawns, some people rush other spawns from their own to get a fight

bold kernel
#

I haven't been able to play a PMC raid without spawning next to an enemy

#

Yeah it takes a while to load in

#

I'm pretty sure I spawn in very late

hybrid bronze
#

hello

#

are there no voice chnnels

#

channels

rancid hawk
#

hello

#

fuck no

bold kernel
#

@bold kernel no scav just pmc

rancid hawk
#

@hybrid bronze

hybrid bronze
#

i have

#

to three of them

#

been like this for 2 days

bold kernel
#

also wait when you loot things as PMC and extract you don't keep the loot you extracted with or?

hybrid bronze
#

huh?

bold kernel
#

i only ask cuz that never happends to me

rancid hawk
#

@hybrid bronze im pretty sure you need to get mod's attention to get your roles set up then

hybrid bronze
#

cool

rancid hawk
#

ask gtb, he's cool

hybrid bronze
#

cheers

rancid hawk
#

@bold kernel when you extract as pmc, you will be able to sort your loot in "character" tab

#

that counts everything you brought with you in raid, and everything you picked up in the raid

bold kernel
#

wtf il have to check that next time i played thx man

#

then comes leveling up issue of mine I haven't been able to level up as in Sure I can like I extract or get killed I get xp and says I leveled up pass level 2 say example level 7

#

but when I check back to my charecter it says level 2

sand apex
#

are you playing offline doom?

bold kernel
#

yes

sand apex
#

that's why

#

nothing that you do in offline mode is saved

rancid hawk
#

You don't progress in anyway when playing offline dudeee

sand apex
#

offline is like a practice mode to explore maps etc

rancid hawk
#

omg xd

bold kernel
#

when your eyes open man listen i haven't played this game in a while so im kinda new but however

#

I do greatly thank you

#

this was heavily appricated LOL

sand apex
#

wouldn't worry too much about progress right now anyway, it's going to all get reset soon when the patch drops

bold kernel
#

yeeeea

rancid hawk
#

it's cool man do your pace

bold kernel
#

Offline mode is a great way to learn the game and maps and stuff

manic totem
#

when is the patch dropping?

spiral dirge
#

🔮

manic totem
#

why dont people play this game before patch drops?

random swan
#

For the time is 7oclock bright or should i pick 19

opaque mirage
#

7 is brighter

random swan
#

Anyone want to team up

bold kernel
#

Aight I see how it is

#

can anyone hook me up with some items lol a ninja struggling right now

tranquil stirrup
#

Anyone recommend specific game/graphic settings for a new player to Tarkov?

bold kernel
#

While it may be counter productive, I'm a looks over performance person, which isn't that good for such a hardcore FPS. But I can't help it. Honestly, it all depends on your hardware and your preferences.

#

Just mess with the settings until you find a happy medium of image quality and performance @tranquil stirrup.

tranquil stirrup
#

Appreciate that. I play a lot of different FPS and have a pretty decent rig, so I usually cap my FPS at 237 and try to eek out as much beauty as I can whilst maintaining high performance.

bold kernel
#

Good luck with that in Tarkov, it's a hard task.

#

Beautiful game, horribly optimized. I wouldn't get too in depth with customization right now as 0.12 is right around the corner, and is bringing a new version of Unity. Therefor, there may be some big optimization changes.

tranquil stirrup
#

Yeah, I bought the game quite a while ago but never got round to playing it as I think I bought it when a reset was very soon and with work etc. I just never got invested. I've been watching it on and off for a few years and have been recently watching Summit smashing it and when they mentioned 0.12 (which a lot of players have been waiting to arrive for quite some time), I thought it'd be a good time for me to return and get a little actual understanding before the wipe.

sage orbit

Hey looking to get help verifying my account its been almost a day dont have access to any channels

slim sable
#

@neat grove anything you can do for this man?

neat grove
#

@sage orbit @slim sable fixed

slim sable
#

Thank you, sir

naive jolt
#

any reason why a full pistol mag of 15 rounds doesnt kill someone? i mean.. c'mon

bold kernel
#

@naive jolt All depends on ammo type, armor, and hitreg on the client and server end @naive jolt. There could be many reasons.

#

Did your after raid states show you hit at least 15 times?

#

Don't know why I @'d you twice, haha. Sorry.

#

Pistols are a low caliber, you're not going to pen higher tier armor. The shots may of been absorbed by the armor, thus doing no damage to the player.

naive jolt
#

how are you supposed to kill anyone and get loot? or defend yourself? either its a headshot or you die? seems kinda unbalanced. lol

bold kernel
#

If you want to defend yourself or kill someone, especially at during this end of wipe event, you're going to want a rifle with a larger caliber to consistently damage other players. That's just how things go.

#

Who'd win in a fight, 3 guys with AKs or 3 guys with pistols? AKs unless the pistol group aim for the head and land their shots.

#

Best way I can put it unfortunately, sorry. 😕

naive jolt
#

does everyone else get a lot of client crashes too?

buoyant phoenix
#

hello

naive jolt
#

heya

buoyant phoenix
#

this game is confusing

naive jolt
#

yeahhh, im have mixed feelings

#

having*

buoyant phoenix
#

like i need someone to help me play this game

#

cuz im getting shit on and losing a lot of stuff

naive jolt
#

thats my issue. my guns arent as good as everyone elses i guess. so all my stuff just went bye bye

buoyant phoenix
#

yup exactly

#

and whenever i play scav i get ganged up on

sullen kestrel
#

Or killed right off spawn, not even 3 seconds in.

buoyant phoenix
#

yup

#

that happened to me just now

#

thats why im here

#

you guys wanna squad up

#

i need help

spiral dirge
#

everyone has full gear and normal scavs are raiders, it's a pre wipe event

#

you're gonna get shit on until wipe

naive jolt
#

why is that a thing? do they want to turn away new players?

#

even when i play a scav, it gives me a damn pistol. i cant catch a break. lmao

#

if the AI didnt frag constantly, land every hit and have spidey sense, that'd be cool too

bold kernel
#

@naive jolt These wipe cycles happen every few months between major patches. It's a way for people to have a change of pace, use all their gear in their stash, and spend the money they've been hoarding.

#

I know it can see intimidating to new players such as yourself, but you just happened to come in at the wrong time. Don't worry, there isn't much time until wipe at this point, this is a signal of the end.

naive jolt
#

i get that. but why not make like a different play list or something. let all those guys with the insane gear do there thing and let the noobs play. lol

bold kernel
#

Shrug They're BSG.

spiral dirge
#

thats kinda what labs is
