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
stunlock meta present even in tarkov
i see man i pull trigger while gun point toward man
sometimes nothink is the easiest way to go
a guy in our squad is like that
my problem is that people always see me before i see them
WHAT!
i have no problem with scavs, and kill raiders pretty well for 3 weeks, but pmc's kick my ass
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
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
Oh man the fog got worse. Visibility down to 150m. :(
i'm willing to grind through it
f
whaaaat didn't even think it could get worse!
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
oh my
It was a solid 400m shot they did.
@regal plover HA
get fucked nerd
:(
Usually to under lvl 10's
rly
im pretty sure shroud has good mechanical skill
so what, he gets his ass handed to him
you can be a god mechnaically, but if you don't know how the game works you'll get fucked
bruh
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
Sometimes i just love this game
yeah?
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
Starting to figure this out. Got 2 kills before I died last run, booyah.
I can kill like 3-6 raiders no problem but when a player comes i might as well just run
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 😃
yea prolly
100% my friend, it'll help loads and give you a lot of confidence!
@mystic talon i cant win also but i still go in for shaits unt gygless need to train
Practice makes perfect 😘
That's a bonus then mate!
i got 300~ hours and i suck ass
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
is just me or raiders dont roam around as much as scavs?
They seem to just sit unless they're aggravated in my opinion ☺️
went to woods. never saw a raider, only heard 25+ nades and PMC fights in middle
Sounds about right for most raids 😅
What is LL in last announcement?
Loyality Level
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
ah
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
Cool. Ill keep that in mind. ty
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
that feeling as a new player when you unload 30 ak rounds on a pmc, hit 23, deal 200 damage, and absorb 514. Kappa
yeah at this point in the game pmcs are juiced
my best weapon is of no intrest for PMCs
Is the wipe event happening rn? Went in on a scav run in factory and every scav was geared up really well
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?
@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
Official ammo table for Escape from Tarkov :
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ammunition
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
they need to fix labs/economy
what i hate about the wipe is loosing levels and loyalty
When does all the stuff on the market get cheap?
Because it's the new change @raven horizon
They are making every cost almost nothing
ah okay.
Then everyone gets reset and all is back to normal
Just like how raiders are everywhere raping everyone
👍
I havent survived a single game since raiders were added
magazine?
Ive got the barrel
and the magazine isnt essential
if its red it means I cant take into my hands
basicaly you've only got a plastic thing but nothing holding it 

thank you lads
np bruv
I haven't survived a raid since raiders were added, anyone wanna run with my noob ass? 😄
Same
i have hard time finding raiders on woods
i hear they wander
offline mode does not work? or its just bugged out for me no scav spawns
Did you enable PvE
yup
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?
yeah all pmc's start at the same time
only player scavs are staggered in joining the match
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?
we don't really know about that
its mostly random
but they do stop spawning at a certain point
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
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
I see, thanks
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
You sure they all hit the chest and not stomach? 7n39 only does 37 flesh dmg before reduction
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
Oh yeah raiders have double hp to everything except head
no a player
OHHH i see what you mean
Yeah, they could take up to many server resources because they're "smarter" that a regular scav
its kinda killing the game for me rn
But idk anything about server resource management 🤷🏿
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
What servers are you on? I've not had a problem other than the normal .5 second hit registration delay
hm.
I keep getting lazered on sniper rock by raiders in gas station
i don't think that should be happening
I get laser'b by reshalas bois there all the time
thats not a good spot
Fight them closer, bait around corners
Like i said, not a good spot
You need solid cover for raiders and boss ai
Its like they have true sight
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
"Adapt or Perish"
Yee.
if i didint die during the raid. Will prapor go and search for my weapons?
yes
if you its insured and left in the raid you get it back
even if you didn;t die
unless youre in labs
Anyone know if they will add or if there is already a way to bolt stop after firing with bolt action, so U can tell where U shooting better
Like in Arma 3 if you hold button, it will fire without bolting and putting U off target
@eternal helm he's right.
Yeah you dont rack the bolt if you never release the left click

does anyone really understand how armour durability loss works?
I can't find anything on it
if there's a 50 durability armour piece, and I hit it with whatever ammo type, where is the stat listed that shows how much damage is done to the armour durability?
An use only (automatic server selection)
It depends on the armor class
my god i love that mdr
@manic inlet Are CN/Asian players region locked?
@crisp coral you need to add more servers then
How?
Look at the video Sarduuk
I had the issue where it would matchmake forever, I had to disable my antivirus and firewall, then it worked
being windows defender
In true list
@sour karma thank U!
hi im new to the game I think im level 4
Hi
You joined straight into the pre-wipe raider event.
So extreme death around every corner!
yeah I know XD ive been playing for about a week now
just struggling to get out with good loot
a friend and I started 2 days ago, needless to say we're getting destroyed
I feel ya bro
won't help that next event is traders not selling anything anymore
tell me about it
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.
Guys, I've got some bad new.
i currently don't have any weapons at all
Anyone willing to play with me ?
News*
whats that
I'm out of sesame chicken.
shit man that sucks
That's sad Alexa play Despacito
I found the proper answer to my question, there's actually a google document that lists how many shots it takes to get through each armour class. Not exact due to durability differences, but far better than nothing: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qgHXHayi7CX9dOj8dxldHv2-uKzd7Gms2_kT4ukwzkM/edit#gid=1655050760
@brittle gate Do you have an iphone/ipad? There's a good app that
Check this: https://youtu.be/t1TTwHnaBOw?t=522
Can anyone do a couple of raids with me? I'm stuggling with this game
you will at this moment in time mate, the AI are supercharged
I survived my first match against raiders, and now I have decent gear. >:D
hit em with a grenade, that's how I got out
lol
sent two grenades behind the pipes, killed them both. Two more inside of extract room
4 on one fucking raid
rough =x
indeed
Whats with these matching times tho? 5 mins to get a scav game
no clue, same here though
Maybe scav slots are full
@regal plover nah, android master race, oh well thanks for the suggestion though ¯_(ツ)_/¯
People are slamming scav runs atm
SO
the face mask helmets can just striaght up tank infinite amount of 9mm ??
i shot this man at least 30 times in the head
don't aim for the face shield
shooting head is just...engrained into my insticnts now hard not to
use good ammo and aim for headshots
i just started lmao
mosin is a good starter gun
You joined during the pre-wipe raider event so that's gonna happen
Probably
yo guys why cant my friend see the voice channels he just joined
Because your friend didn't accept the rules
yo where I get them weapon cases from
why do my legs keep breaking when the bottom 3/4 of by body is behind a cement barrier :/
new player lookingh for a group
@stoic parrot we are running shoreline, you are welcome to join in the Shoreline lobby
😄
Aye, I used to be a decent player, trying to get back in. Good with comms. Anyone want me?
@digital rock You are welcome to join us n the shoreline lobby
@low river discord invite?
i was just wondering when id be able to access all the eft chats?
i did the rules and all that stuff
might need to message modmail or @ a mod
@lapis mauve @neon ember Modmail is down.
Spider, you should be able to see the chats now, let me know if you can’t
i can thanks!
Hello
O/
- Raiders - on, anything else above is OFF. Plus every LL unlocked, items are unlimited and cheap.
What does this mean

raiders are on and all traders on ll4
And you pay almost nothing for items
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
HIGH COM TROOPER ??????? it’s 4 but it covers like a plate carrier does can I buy it ?????????
Trooper isn't worth the money mate, doesn't protect your stomach or arms
Bit shit really
Best off jumping from 3-5 as far as I'm concerned 😅
is there a skill that allows you to search two spots at once?
pockets/vest kind of thing I mean
Maxed searching skill does that
ahh, ok, I saw on wiki it says double searching speed, didnt know it also let you search two spots on a corpse
thanks :)
Hold on, maybe I'm slightly off
Yeah you're right, max search ☺️
Thought so, the wiki doesn't mention it
Trooper is best
any new players wanna duo
@amber venture @bold kernel the wiki has an extra note for that...
any eu new players wanna play dm me
Dmed
Is the trader lockout today or tomorrow?
i just bought the game but everyone says it will wipe soon. does anyone know approximately how long until wipe?
like 4 days
4?
4-6
in a few days all traders will be unlocked and prices will be very low
right now there are no traders but fence and advanced ai on all maps
so only scav runs around? lol
ok ty thiccy
anybody have tips for dealing with raiders im really struggiling with this event.
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
ok thanks bud
anyone up for helping a noob
Except woods on London servers.. Seem the be full pmc raids unusually
have a look at #news-setup mate
anyone want a gamma container ?
yeah
sure ill take it
yea one sec
@weary bobcat I can help u in a little bit if u want
i like help
with what
@plucky goblet 
Hi
hello
How goes stuff and things.
hello everyone
hi
Hi
wanna make a group?
Testing, was is this chat?
It's the beginners assistance chat
If you need assistance with anything
This is where yo ugo
Kinda goes without saying 🤷🏼
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
@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.
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!
Any tips to overcome gear fear? I've watched popular vids but the game is a horror game for me :S
@south imp
How often do you extract?
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.
Wipe is coming...we'll all be back to 1. Just run it. Don't worry about gear. You can always get more.
@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.
@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.
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
seems like selling stuff also, but im new too so idk
buying and selling
thanks!
why doesnt it tell you what gun the person who killed you was using. that is so enfuriating
rEaLiSm
im wearing full armor, with a facemask helmet and get 2 tapped in half a second
by a scav
and i just want to know what the fuck killed me
Don’t know why people keep asking about that, it’s not hard to distinguish between the sounds of the guns in game.
He was a solid 40 feet away from me in factory. hard to tell
especially for someone new
Aah, thought this was eft chat
and im mostly just confused becuase everytime i go up against people with facemasks they tank an entire clip.
yeah, i can't tell gun sounds apart yet either
what ammo are you using vs facemasks? most of them are level 3
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
depends on the gun
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.
i mean. i straight up layed 25 bullets from my pp-19 into a face one time and he didnt die
To repeat myself
sounds about right. use 6.3 ap if you can afford it
If you use 9x19 PSTs, you aim for the legs.
pst is only useful vs paca
They have no practical use in penetrating armor.
Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.
All the data displayed below is the produ...
use that to make wise ammo choices
how do i make it so that it instantly throws grenade when i click the hotkey? right now it just pulls the grenade out then i have to press m1 to throw
Press on G.
@flat condor yo big turbo
thanks lol got two of them lol @restive crown
240sx
how many hp u tryna make?
1400
drag innit?
Yes
im making a build too is300 but for street and some racing... around 500hp
if god wills my friend
Oh ya
more 240 owners...here...who would have thought
Miata gang?
Shit. Theres no way to unstuck is there...
so do the skills carry over from wipes or no?
no
there have been "light wipes" where skills and/or trader rep carried over but generally no, a wipe is a reset to stock
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
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
oh ok thank you i was wondering why none of the vendors had anything
does all the shit you have to examine carry over or does all become unknown again
@torpid wraith No, clean slate. Everything wipes except friends.
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?
and when its end
noone knows
ok thanks
I'd guess today or tomorrow, but its also possible that all the events stack and it stays a few more days
im surprised they didnt do the all LL for the weekend, the servers woulda been packed
yep
@chrome flume Welcome to the server. Please take a look at #521628660298678283 and #news-setup.
the event has 4 stages and the wiped traders are in stage 2...so 2 more stages to go until the patch
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.
You cannot mount an optic on the Brown or standard SKS.
Does not have mounting point
@waxen forge yeah i just watched a tutorial on it. Thanks!
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.
btw guys all scavs are hostile now right?
Raider scavs are. There are still a few standard scavs floating around on maps.
yea but i wont take the time to see that ^^
True. Fire away
@ivory ermine thanks!
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
wait till wipe, probably monday or tuesday
this is the best time bruf just go scav runs im beginner also getting like 15 kills on some good runs..
@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
7.1 surround sound on or off? Been reading and alot of people say it makes things worse
Umm... shouldn't I be able to buy stuff that says "a lot" from fence with no problem?
trying to purchase a 6l20 magazine from him always says someone else bought it
How does one find groups for this game?
whats the max level for recoil control?
@waxen forge I can not see that section is seems
@mystic talon the best i got was around 35-ish with MPX
just give up and wait for the wipe 😄
@mild gull You need to follow the verification steps in the #521628660298678283 and #news-setup to get access to other channels
@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? 😦
Wipe will probably be this week although no official date has been stated
thanks
I find guns that are blacked out. It says 'Item not found in Raid'. WHat do I do about it?
i am also looking for people to play with non of my friends like this game
but it was amazing fun anyways...but now with this "events" and ludacris raiders with their laser guided grenades and stuff...nope
yeah its crazy for sure diver
You have to examine a weapon or gear before you can equip it @cloud reef
its just a bit too much for a noobish beginner like me
how often can u reset your account?
ty
3 weeks, so 21 days
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
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
Scav boss on Interchange
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
@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
@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!
anyone know if container event is today or tomorrow?

i think tomorrow, but just a guess
dang i was hoping for everything to be cheap tomorrow for the weekend
hey,what ammo to use with higher tier guns? i have a lot of ps and bp but they are green.so what ammo to use?
Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.

@bold kernel Do you have nofoodaftermidnights chart?
what?
oh thx!
just reset my game cause i went broke anyone wanna run duos on low lvl accounts
anyone reqally rich ?
Joe is
What would you call really rich?
8 roubles and a dollar
Makes sense
hey
when does this event end? having a really hard time buying stuff this is so unenjoyable
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.
jeez.. cant find a mosin for cheaper then 50k
Unfortunately, this is how pre-wipe events are.
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?
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.
using mosins yikes
are quests things worth to do or should the focus be on pvp/getting geared for labs after wipe
@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
alright. cool. i imagine all the quest spots with be high traffic area at beginning since everyone is gonna be on em
in the beginning yeah but lots of them are already in somewhat populated areas anyway
yup
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.
when does 0.12 launch
couple of days
let's hope
there's just 2 more events so I'd say writhen the week
are there raiders in offline?
yup
a bit harsh
they are considered boss so you have to also check boss scavs in order for anything to spawn in offline
oh well
hello new guy looking for someone
do the raiders attack player-controlled scavs?
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
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
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
Then have fun with a kitted PMC
Demon, you're playing Scav properly then lol
Yeet! It's a ton of fun
Stop the gear fear
it's not gear fear
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
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
Stress inducing game 4 sure
no matter what i have on me, when i die, i get so fucking angry
We all do.
whats the point of the sidestep shortcuts? is it different than just tapping A or D?
i see, thanks
Im having some issues with the vendors
I dont know what to do
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?
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.
that sounds like a blast! Thank you for answering my questions! Yall are helpful
stage 3 removes everyones, correct?
so no stashing gear
ah okay that makes sense as well
Cancer inbound
to get a feel of how the guns and stuff act just for shits and giggles
honestly stage 3 is gonna be horrible
same
like theirs fun
and then realistic
like u want it to be semi realistic
and also fun
you don't want total hardcore realism
Welp I will be getting off thank you for answering my questions! Im sure yall will see me back here at some piont
then it isn't fun
point
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)

@bold kernel msg me
im new and i wasted all my gear. i want to reset my account, im wondering if i sell my gamma container will i get another one upon account reset?
if you reset you lose everything
besides wipe is happening soon anyways
just wait for another 2-3 days
but if i sell my gamma container and then reset my account later will i get the gamma container again upon acocunt reset?
if youre gonna reset then dont even sell your gamma
cause you wont have they money anyways
i could give the money to my friend right
yeah
yeah
so i could sell the gamma, give the $ to my friend. reset my account. my question is after resetting will i get a new gamma container or does gamma container not get renewed upon account reset?
no you get a new one
ok ty
i believe anyways
but you think the wipe will happen in 2-3 days?
most people are projecting monday or tuesday
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?
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?
@sour karma
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?
Oh so i joined just before a wipe?
Yeah
I know what is a wipe
Oh theres blueprints now
I thought theyll wipe levels and progression
Hmkay
Its cool
I just started anyways
So ill just mess about i have a bit of stuff when i start
The only thing that doesn't wipe is your friends list basically.
When aprox is the wipe?
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
Sorry that was supposed to say hello at the start hello
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
lol
u f h
that trippy i didn't know this was automated
@sour karma With your 1st answer, do these numbers include pmc's and scavs?
What numbers @mossy marsh ?
@late tangle The one that shows the players when you click on a map.
first thing you want to do is go online and look at the maps
keep em on a tab its real useful
just not for factory
youll learn it in like 3 runs
i have a hard time with fighting raiders rn any tips
Stay far away and pick your shots carefully, mid to close range they usually laser you
I was playing on factory and this man who's wearing all the killa gear busts down the office door annihilating me, scared the shit out of me
any tips on how to pvp against the scav raiders. everytime i kill one 2-3 others rush me. no matter how many i kill they keep and keep coming
pick your fights
dont engage every single one every time
if you see theres more of them grouped up, perhaps its better to not go at them
hey
nope @stray crag
@fierce wedge @mossy marsh @candid fern Welcome to the server. Please, take a look at #521628660298678283 and #news-setup in order to config your roles. Thanks.
I can't seem to hotkey any items, I should be able to mouse over and press a slot like 5 right?
won't even let me drag it to a slot
ahh nm, pockets got it
I was trying to do it from secure stash
man its so fckng hard fighting these scav raiders wtf how is this their idea of fun
@weary bobcat ata yodeah ivirit?
I cant view history of messages but does someone wanna play w/ me?
im new but I play other shooting games
Will the wipe reset trader levels, your PMC level, all that?
Or is it just gear and money that gets wiped
should i just refund this i cant even buy items from fence
oh, well reckon i got no reason to play rn
A. cant buy anything B. running out of shooty sticks
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
and thats gonna fix the not being able to buy anything?
yeah
i have 300k rubles, thats not the issue
a few other people also cant buy from fence, probably a bug from the event
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?
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.
do you not understand he has a bug preventing him from buying anything from fence? @split vapor
either play as scav and loot already dead raiders or don't play for a few days.
Need someone to play with just got the game
look up maps on the wiki and explore them in offline mode, learn where extracts are
will help a ton
ight thanks
now is a hard time to start the game, there is an event going on, in a few days it should be over and an update will come out, everyone will be reset
On the lookout for a sherpa to do some runs with 🙂 I started last night and have I think decent gear... I think?

Update chat said the new patch will probably be early in the week so the team foreny have to work on the weekend, is that meaning like Tuesday?
most guesses have been thrusday, but nobody knows
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?
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
thanks
What's the difference between the keycards?
each card opens a diffrent room in Labs
ohh, so there is only 1 keycard that makes you enter the map?
you cant get a keycard with more uses?
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.
So i could buy the yellow one? and keep useing that, to enter labs? instead of buying a white one everytime?
no
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.
the yellow one is only for a room on the map, not the map itself
alright i see, so i guess i need to keep buying the white one yeah to enter there isnt a better card with more uses?
Yes, the White Keycard is the only way to currently acess Labs
Thank you very much! 🙂
no problem!
How do u get verified on the discord
what's a pre wipe?
It just means events and stuff before the wipe.
Alright
How do you escape?
we can never escape, we are stuck here forever
well shit
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
alright thanks bro👍
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
👍
also, on that double-o popup, if you see extractions with ??:??:?? next to them
that means they aren't guaranteed to be available
there are some extractions that require money to use
like on customs, the V-Ex extraction requires 3000 rubles
do they provide any advantages?
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
👍
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
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
Makes sense. Thanks
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
were you playing offline?
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
What map Pat?
Factory
scav raid?
I was playing PMC
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
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
@bold kernel no scav just pmc
also wait when you loot things as PMC and extract you don't keep the loot you extracted with or?
huh?
i only ask cuz that never happends to me
@hybrid bronze im pretty sure you need to get mod's attention to get your roles set up then
cool
ask gtb, he's cool
cheers
@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
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
are you playing offline doom?
yes
You don't progress in anyway when playing offline dudeee
offline is like a practice mode to explore maps etc
omg xd
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
wouldn't worry too much about progress right now anyway, it's going to all get reset soon when the patch drops
yeeeea
it's cool man do your pace
Offline mode is a great way to learn the game and maps and stuff
when is the patch dropping?
🔮
why dont people play this game before patch drops?
For the time is 7oclock bright or should i pick 19
7 is brighter
Anyone want to team up
Aight I see how it is
can anyone hook me up with some items lol a ninja struggling right now
Anyone recommend specific game/graphic settings for a new player to Tarkov?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hey looking to get help verifying my account its been almost a day dont have access to any channels
@neat grove anything you can do for this man?
@sage orbit @slim sable fixed
Thank you, sir
any reason why a full pistol mag of 15 rounds doesnt kill someone? i mean.. c'mon
@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.
how are you supposed to kill anyone and get loot? or defend yourself? either its a headshot or you die? seems kinda unbalanced. lol
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. 😕
does everyone else get a lot of client crashes too?
hello
heya
this game is confusing
like i need someone to help me play this game
cuz im getting shit on and losing a lot of stuff
thats my issue. my guns arent as good as everyone elses i guess. so all my stuff just went bye bye
Or killed right off spawn, not even 3 seconds in.
yup
that happened to me just now
thats why im here
you guys wanna squad up
i need help
everyone has full gear and normal scavs are raiders, it's a pre wipe event
you're gonna get shit on until wipe
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
@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.
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
Shrug They're BSG.
thats kinda what labs is
