rich cloak
Like camp spawns/extractions but I guess that makes sense
Does Mosin with standard ammo one-shot to the chest?
brisk mortar
With sub-level 4 armor, it's very likely.
rich cloak
I guess I should take Mosin and a pistol for some time after wipe
My problem isn't that I suck at gunfights tbh
It's that I mostly die before I spot the enemy
Even when taking it slow
rich cloak
It's not that I get close or anything since I'm mostly playing customs atm
It's just that I keep checking the spot I've seen someone in and suddenly drop dead
Especially around the gasstation
Close range fights aren't that bad imo
But those midrange fights
late tangle
phase 4?
regal plover
no
rich cloak
@late tangle the what?
tranquil cobalt
how to differentiate a PMC from a scav player from a scav bot
rich cloak
Behavior
The way the move and turn there camera
The whole thing doesn't really matter since you Wanna fight/kill everything that moves and isn't you
sour karma
also whether or not they have a container slot
@rich cloak and phase 4 of the prewipe event. Everyone's traders get leveled to LL4 and everything is almost free
sour karma
there are 4 phases
phase 1, raiders instead of scavs
phase 2, traders disabled
phase 3, container changes
phase 4, LL4 and cheap gear
rich cloak
When does phase 4 roll out?
sour karma
SOON™
tranquil cobalt
whats LL4
digital sundial
late tangle
trader level 4
i have all level 3 and 4 already
but still would be nice to have it all cheap
mossy marsh
How long do I have to complete tasks?
rich wyvern
as long as the wipe is @mossy marsh
sour karma
@mossy marsh dont worry about tasks
they will change quite a bit after wipe
and you wont hit ll4 before wipe anyways

Lots of veteran players are slowing down on EFT waiting on the wipe.
bold kernel

cloud locust
wipe their profile?
bold kernel
it's been what almost 300 days since last patch?
cloud locust
Should I pick Bear or USEC? What's the difference
waxen forge
Yes WAY too long. I reset a couple months ago after completing most all tasks (that I cared about at least). Went back to grinding back through tasks and am back up to 45 or so but been playing other stuff more days than not last week or so.
USEC speaks english so the voice prompts will be understandable by teammates and others.
Bear speaks Russian
cloud locust
Cool
normal bear
No one uses voice prompts except for memes and streamers anyways
and bears are cooler
bold kernel
near wraith
im pretty new not to good either anybody wanna team up?
formal hound
There's a 75% chance the enemy was Russian on US servers if they're a BEAR

sinful grotto
OMG..i want to LOVE this game..but OMG do i suck..i never make it more then a min or 2 on any round...scav or reg...so frustrating..
i have lost everything so all i have is a knife , and everyone is geared..so hard
bold kernel
ya now is not the best time to really play
I would say do some offline raids and practice
formal hound
Vets dominate the game pretty hard rn with crazy gear, and raiders all over the place
sinful grotto
how do i do offline?
formal hound
when you pick a map to go into, before the insurance screen it will ask you if you want to go into offline with a checkbox
Just hit the checkbox and turn on PvE for practice
bold kernel
good way to learn the maps
formal hound
also that
sinful grotto
says "no map"
formal hound
There are physical maps of the locations in game you can buy from therapist
you dont need one to go offline or play
just enable offline and hit next
sinful grotto
humm..i am not seeign the "offline" maybe im beinf dumb
formal hound
1 sec ill screenshot for you
formal hound
English isn't an exact science :p

@sinful grotto you can run with me if you want i have nothing better to be doing rn anyway lol

TY..ill try this first..i appreciate it
formal hound
run everything as online is what I'd reccomend
I'm down to go as well in a 3 man
I can donate you some armor as well
formal hound
lmao yeah it's better than spending 600k on 6b4a armor like last night
dont think the scav experience is realistic tho, after wipe everything will be easier and scavs will be much easier to deal with
rn they all have aimbot lol
sinful grotto
I HAVE played 3 rounds..have seen no AI at all, and i enabled PVP
vital lark
hmmm

it has seemed to do that with one of my friends recently

that's just tarkov being tarkov I suppose tho
rich wyvern
@formal hound 1. check your weapon durability
2. check your ping
formal hound
mostly happens in offlines
also you can see the bullet holes appear in the head lol
usually only happens once or twice a day in like 6hrs of playing so its not a big deal tbh
lapis mauve
what ammo out of curiosity?
minor raven
Any noobies want to figure this game out together?
wind ridge
i have to ask, guessing bug or raiders are unstable mofo. two times since raider came im scav. they are friendly, even killed pmc while where on the same side. after a while the bastards kill me. whats up with that.. does looting make you enemy, or they just bugged?
waxen forge
There are some standard scavs around and they will not shoot player scavs. It's possible the normal scav didn't shoot u but the raider did
lapis mauve
raiders are bipolar towards pscavs sometimes, best to just kill them.
ashen lynx
best 5.56 to shoot right now? Im shooting m995's but im not sure if i should go for better
ashen lynx
im looking at weather conditions and i'd rather not play in the rain. I see a cloud and 3 horizontal lines under it what does that mean?
i just played a woods in the rain and i was getting 30 fps with an i7 and 1080 ti
reef spoke
@formal hound Bullets don't register where the decals are most of the time.
your bullet likely registered elsewhere in the weapons mechanical precsion range.
but there are some hit reg issues too
its just hard to say which one happened in a lot of situations
reef spoke
Most games with weapon divation suffer from this from what ive tested
decal will hit one place for one player, and another for someone else
The first round went over his head, 2nd round hit him
but if you look, it looks like 2 hits
formal hound
mhm
ashen lynx
if you have night vision, and you look through a scope, is the scope in night vision as well?
for example Bravo4 scope
regal plover
Yes, but you may be blinded depending on the scope. If it has red bits there's a good chance you won't be able to see
ashen lynx
so i would see black bits?
regal plover
yes
regal plover
Whatever you want

are all fast mt face shields cracked by default at max durability?
I bought like 8 and so far after using 4, all have been cracked
idle ocean
Hi guys
lapis mauve
If they are 40/40 they are not cracked
idle ocean
Yeah that face shield thingy, I bought a max durability face shield but its cracked
On the center
regal plover
@brittle gate No. Stop buying them from players on the flea market.
lapis mauve
If they are not 40/40 they are not max durability
idle ocean
I see, thanks
brittle gate
yet they're all cracked
lapis mauve
Hmm
I’ll put some up from peacekeeper, no way they will be cracked
Get them before they’re gone
brittle gate
just tried another one
all three of these new ones I haven't tried yet are the same
lapis mauve
I have no idea how they can be 40/40 and cracked
lapis mauve
I can’t buy more but I can sell an unused one from my stash
brittle gate
if you don't need it sure
lapis mauve
Wait, put up something like a bandage for one
So it doesn’t sell instantly
Bandage might have too high taxes
opaque mirage
@brittle gate this is a bug from bullets ricocheting off visors
brittle gate
how can it have anything to do with bullets ricocheting off visors when they're all perfect durability and the crack is in the exact same spot for each?
lapis mauve
Ricocheting should remove 1 durability for this reason
opaque mirage
exactly but it doesnt register so it cant be fixed its certainly annoying
lapis mauve
yay
brittle gate
I don't see how the crack could be in the exact same spot on all of the 8 visors I bought from the same dude though
lapis mauve
i can give away 4 more if you need them
opaque mirage
got tarkoved, also could be from the raider aim patterns
brittle gate
raider aiming pattern sounds very unlikely to me
lapis mauve
Raider aimbot confirmed
brittle gate
yeah if you could sell me them that'd be great
lapis mauve
Yeah, just put up a trade and let me know what it is. Ifak works
lapis mauve
Now I just need to remember to replace them in the morning

awesome, thanks 😄

Lost a ak103 and a really good armor today
waxen forge
It'll all be gone soon enough with wipe. Gear comes and goes. Sucks to lose it but we all get more.
rich cloak
Yeah it's cool but damn I was pissed about it
Killed a bunch of scavs and one player who had said items
Went to the railway exit on customs and when I was closed i was suddenly sidelined by a raider
I didn't know that they run around in the woods on the edge of the map
Does the vepr hunter take different mags?
spiral plaza
It has 5 and 10 round mags
rich cloak
Good
I kinda like the hunter
But the 5 bullet mag feels bad
Is there some website where I can check what mods go on what weapons?
Thanks 👌
Is there ever a place where melee is useful?

waxen forge
desert garden
So I managed to loot a killa helmet? do I sell it because i cant see anything if I use it
waxen forge
You can. Normally u sell gear to Skier (unless it's too damaged for him to buy it) but something like the Killa helmet would be best sold on Flea. Right click and do Filter by item. Find lowest price and price your offer around that price point.
desert garden
Alright, average on flea market is 220K so ill put it on that I guess
timber cloak
Is there a set time I need to be in the raids for?
Or if I get some shit within like 10 20 mins can I leave
plucky goblet
no
waxen forge
To not get a run through (which has no real penalty) you must earn about 300xp I believe. So that can be XP from looting or healing or obviously killing something.
undone sable
run through is below 300 xp, survived is greater than 300
tranquil cobalt
are run throughs bad?
undone sable
Naw, its more of a technicality, some quests require to to "survive" a map and a run-through wont count
Maybe later down the road you get a penalty but if you get survive you get an exp multiplier I think vs die or run through
rich cloak
What happens if time reaches zero?
waxen forge
MIA is same as dead
rich cloak
Ah OK
I never had a game where it even came close
Usually all my slots are full 10 minutes in
Or I just die
buoyant mason
that's not a bad thing my friend, how have your raids been?
timber cloak
Once you've insured items, how long are they insured for? I still have items insured from the last round
waxen forge
Stay insured til you die. If they are returned to you then the insurance is used and to take out again you will have to pay for new insurance.
rich wyvern
@@timber cloak those items will only be brought back to you if
- noone took them
- you aren't playing labs
bold kernel

There are great maps which show all the loot locations and exits
Just open it on a phone or a second screen

how do I know when to loot vs camp? Im always afraid of looting a kill and getting popped in the back of the head by someone else

I didnt realize body shots do like nothing

Depends on ammo and if the target has good armor
It's late late late wipe. Most PMC are armored. With the raider event they are armored as well.

wheat ivy
why do some quests remove loyalty from other traders?
regal plover
Because some tasks are in opposition to what other traders want. Read the quests to understand more in-depth.
wheat ivy
i did
but i cant seem to understand why killing pmcs would make prapor angry
maybe i didnt read it well enough ;-;
waxen forge
It's just a game mechanic and will likely (in the future play into the "story" of the game). For now though as long as u do task for all traders the loss of reputation won't really do anything negative.
regal plover
which quest?\
regal plover
Prapor and Therapist are working with the PMC's to make the region safer (Therapist) and to just generally do stuff for them (Prapor) so killing them for Skier pisses them off
sand apex
sorry no more questions 😉
sand apex
j/k
wheat ivy
if my rep goes below the needed amount for one of the loyalty levels, do i lose that LL? or does it stay
lament basalt
Yes
regal plover
Your LL with them goes down.
sand apex
I've found that as long as you do a variety of quests, you don't have to worry much about losing standing
it tends to even out
waxen forge
If you are doing all tasks it really won't matter to much (as tasks are now).
sand apex
though I'm level 30 and still haven't managed to get the first mission for peacekeeper and thus stuck at LL2 with him
waxen forge
I usually choose the trader to turn a task into (when it can be turned into multiple traders) based on what reward is better. Never have had problems with the loss of trader reputation screwing me up.
Yea that comes later after you complete Friend from the West iirc
sand apex
I've kind of stopped worrying about the missions now that the events are on and the wipe is soon
sand apex
the quests I have now are kind of rough ones
regal plover
Here are how the quests all currently work: https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/6/6a/EFT-Questlines-Flowchart-Orbb09.png
sand apex
graphics cards, flash drives, tushonka... killing people with mosins at over 50 meters without a scope etc
waxen forge
Yea I already reset myself once this wipe. Last week I've played a lot less EFT. Spent the day playing Destiny 2.
Once 12 drops I'll grind but til then just not motivated.
sand apex
where the heck do you find flash drives anyway
hallow spire
someone cop me a t h i c c case
sand apex
man I search a lot of pcs and never found a flash drive
regal plover
I usually find mine after a few IC raids concentrating on only PCs
sand apex
IC raids are always so scary... like most of the time you can run through without seeing other players but you never freakin know on that map
Yesterday I spotted a player scav hiding behind the painting in the back hallway on the 2nd floor... It was some video or stream I watched that pointed out that spot to me, glad I checked it
he had a freakin hunter
but then later killa ran me down and destroyed me so whatev
charged me down while I was healing... not used to scavs being that aggressvie heh

@sand apex i generally found the flash drives i needed on woods in the tent by the rock on the lake shore. it was usually there once every 4 or 5 raids so there's a decent chance you'll find it there.

fickle geyser
question marks appear when you kill them but do not identify them. when you are killed, the name always appears.
regal plover
You need to extract will the dogtags of the player you've killed to see their name, otherwise you'll just see question marks.

does anyone want to help a beginner I can't fight off these raiders
lapis mauve
they are hard at first. most don't wear helmets so shoot heads. they have more hp (except their heads) and they usually wear decent armor
another tip is snipe them, i think 70+ meters is safe
sometimes they go for cover and other times they just let you shoot them

I mean I didn't really loose anything since it's phase 4
But hey
Do we know when we get wiped?
buoyant mason
Nope, unfortunately not 😢
rich cloak
I'm kinda longing for the wipe tbh
Knowing that progress I make now will be sapped in the near future kinda takes away my drive to play atm
torpid wraith
so trailer comes out soon. does that give any indication on the patch itself?
buoyant mason
Yeah it sucks joining late wipe but least you have some experience going into the next one :)
And I don't think the previous ones did bright, have a nosey at the old ones maybe?
rich cloak
Like i died with a somewhat expensive Mosin a expensive AK and good armor and I don't really care about it?
That's like the opposite of what i like so much about this
Holy moly
How much HP does killa have??
Just watched a video where someone needs more than a whole saiga 12 mag to the feet to kill him
buoyant mason
Yeah he has a lot, maybe double? I'm not sure
I've put about 20 PS rounds into his legs/lower torso and he just smiled and walked off lol
rich cloak
Like 10 rounds of 12 gauge ammo to a unprotected leg 😂 😂
There is no leg left
I guess thats tri paloski power 😂
cunning raptor
Hey guys, can ya'll give me advice on how i should play?
spiral dirge
kill enemies before they kill you
rich cloak
Don't die 
On a serious note: take your time, learn the maps and don't get cocky
And allways use the scav when he's available
buoyant mason
Find some decent squad mates if playing alone is frustrating you, I hate playing alone! ☺️
formal hound
Take your time, it's better to tap fire accurate shots at the head than full-auto people's torso. Don't bum rush everyone on maps, you're at a major advantage if you can force the enemy to push you and hold an angle
rich cloak
Scavruns are pure value with no risk to your stash
@Fluff#9608 you wanna duo a bit later?
buoyant mason
I won't be around till late this evening my friend, if you're after a squad I can always shoot you the invite for our discord?☺️
rich cloak
Whats you timezone?
buoyant mason
I'm from the UK ☺️
rich cloak
Cool cool cool
buoyant mason
Upto you if you want me to shoot you an invite mate, if not it'll be about 4 maybe 4:30 my local time ☺️
rich cloak
I think Ill be unavailable from like 4 to 6 or so
But I'll shoot you a dm when I'm here
buoyant mason
No worries mate ☺️
tepid matrix
im getting the game on next monday when i get my grants so im wondering, what is the first thing i should do as a new player?
buoyant mason
Watch a bunch of videos between now and then, plenty of scav raids and map learning should probably be your first in game priority be it through offline modes or just taking a little bit of gear
worldly sonnet
no worries
buoyant mason
Scav war and horde mode makes your PC hate itself 🤣
timber cloak
whats with people rocking these baller ass angled sights on their weapons?
are they just to feel badass or what?
buoyant mason
Faster ADS time, it's super insanely quick
That's why it's meta, especially on labs
buoyant mason
Nah, it's awkward but worth the bonus
I think it's unintended and going to change from what I hear
hexed reef
is EOD worth it?
buoyant mason
Depends mate, personally I wouldn't say so FOR ME however the volume of money means different things to different people
I don't feel like I'm at a disadvantage not having EOD because a month or so into the wipe I have enough cases to make up the difference
And usually a big enough container too
bold kernel
Any tips for wipe?
bold kernel
Front to back
buoyant mason
Get yer quests done as soon as possible so you can stop playing customs 🤣
bold kernel
Is customs not a good map? Lol
plucky goblet
it is, but completely overloaded at the start
buoyant mason
I don't like it personally, a lot of people do ☺️
Everyone rushes for the same few objectives so for example construction on customs is a nightmare for the first few weeks
plucky goblet
^
buoyant mason
Likewise salewas and 3M armour are gold dust
It's a hard toss up between leaving it and letting yourself get behind or powering through it, best to try do night raids for the objectives imo
glass storm
The game is so fucking unplayable now
bold kernel
Anyone wanna duo? New player
bold kernel
I am quite literally down for any map. Most familiar with customs, however, always down to learn something new.
glass storm
Well we could go to customs
buoyant mason
Unplayable in what way?😅
glass storm
You want to go around or have some specific task ?
In the way that they are calling this bullshit an event
raiders on every corner with full gear
and fucking veterans with their 1+ year hoarded stuff
because they were so scared of loosing it that they use them now before the wipe
bold kernel
Just go around, I do have a task but it's not super important honestly.
glass storm
The problem with is just this
bold kernel
I'm just trying to get a little more experiance in before they wipe. Don't have to really worry about anything honestly.
glass storm
what I explained
buoyant mason
You may as well play full sweat, that's what the event is about 😅
glass storm
you walk for a few minutes and get immediately killed
because some veteran decided to pop his 993 sv or svd's
buoyant mason
I'm not gonna lie I can't say I've had that 😅
glass storm
or a raider shoots you throgh fences and bushes
buoyant mason
Play interchange? It's a lot more linear than open maps?
glass storm
eh
then you get killed by killa ;D
I was fucking around for the few days
been killing on factory with a pm
north dust
when wipe happens do you get package items back?
glass storm
yes
compact belfry
Which ammo in 5.56x45 is the best for HK
glass storm
warmage
buoyant mason
995
glass storm
or not
buoyant mason
Warmage does 0 armour damage 😅
compact belfry
Warmage is the shittiest
glass storm
oof
compact belfry
Why troll bro
glass storm
didn't knew that
ocean crag
Warmage for leg meta tho
buoyant mason
It's the equivalent of rip ammo
ocean crag
Plus it sounds cool
compact belfry
Fluff what the ammo

Ok thanks

Yo bois how do I kill people?

So click on their head got it

Looking for someone to teach me the game

bold kernel
What's the best place to drop in as a beginner with a pistol?
buoyant mason
at the moment? nowhere unfortunately
formal hound
Your best chances would probably be customs
but with raiders crawling everywhere, you're gonna have to play super stealthy and aim for 1taps
safe loom
@bold kernel for me customs is one of the harder maps, as there's a lot of areas you have a hard time avoiding. Shoreline lets you pick your fights by taking an alternate route if you don't think you'll be successful
But yeah, with raiders around a pistol isn't going to get you very far unless you stumble across geared corpses
karmic valley
Hello, wipe is "soon" sooo... I should choose BEAR or USEC? I kind of get bored of USEC I picked him up 2 times and his voice start anoying me. So umm... Did the side change anything?
buoyant mason
nope, maybe different customization options but nothing other than that 😄
buoyant mason
yeah man, i like to understand my taunts so that's why i take usec
buoyant mason
then get that! 😄
karmic valley
Hm
rose bluff
anyone know what is going on in the 4th part of event
rose bluff
I saw that
karmic valley
That's it
buoyant mason
everyones a big boi is the tldr lol
rose bluff
looks like gen 4 armor here on out
buoyant mason
and an extra 15 for the tv-110 to go on top
buoyant mason
sounds good man, hope you're enjoying thus far
rose bluff
yeah, ngl its a pretty welcoming community
buoyant mason
most people try to be mate, no point being hostile 😄
rose bluff
that being said I have met some really toxic players
buoyant mason
if you think of any extra questions feel free to give us a PM dude
tall nymph
Alright, I'm giving this game a go again. Anyone able to show me the ropes?
bold kernel
Hello. I picked up Escape From Tarkov last week. And have been struggling to play well. Is anyone willing to help me learn how to do better at this game? Wipe or post wipe advice and guidance all helps.
waxen forge
It's late wipe. Players are geared and most scavs have been replaced raiders who have good armor and weapons. This will make it hard for low levels.
Learn maps. Learn scav paths and player tactics. Use internet maps on 2nd screen.
tall nymph
noted
bold kernel
Thank you. I will do all of that but the second screen bit.
waxen forge
With 4th part of pre-wipe you will have level 4 traders and prices are very cheap so you can buy a lot of stuff
If need be pull up a map on phone or tablet or anything. Hell print them out if you must.
Nobody uses in game maps
rose bluff
I'd like to express my disappointment in running into factory with all my best gear and getting grenaded randomly
lapis mauve
until you learn the maps its essential you can look at one in raid (and i agree about the in game maps being bad)
waxen forge
Even tougher with raiders and geared palyers
tall nymph
What map should I do this first run on.
rose bluff
customs?
waxen forge
In-game maps used to let you pick spawn points but that hasn't been a thing for a long time
rose bluff
offline mode is great
waxen forge
I tell people Customs. It's big enough that you have some room to work but small enough that you will get pvp. However like I said. It's late wipe and low level will get you rocked
rose bluff
yeah this is true
waxen forge
Offline is good to learn. Offline with pve checked will let you play but if you die you won't lose stuff
waxen forge
When wipe happens (assuming it's not part of the reworking tasks they mentioned) some of the first tasks are on customs
tall nymph
Yeah I def made a reddit post for that, that being said I fully expect to get dicked
rose bluff
yah know dont get your hopes up
waxen forge
Tarkov is brutal for new players. You will die. A lot.
waxen forge
I tell people. Reset expectations. Do well at other shooters? Forget that here. EFT is a whole different animal
lapis mauve
bright side when wipe happens everyone will be running around with beginner gear.
rose bluff
wanna run a quick scav?
waxen forge
STEEP learning curve
rose bluff
extremely steep
anyone wanna group up for a scav
ik its a scav but they cant get us all
tall nymph
I'd be down, at least i could kinda get what's going on
waxen forge
I'll join up in about 20 minutes. Finishing some stuff up.
rose bluff
ok
waxen forge
I'm up for a few runs if you guys wanted some help.
buoyant mason
interchange tends to be my best friend, i dont play many other maps
waxen forge
That trailer looked damn good
buoyant mason
yeah, gonna be fun for snipin'
normal bear
I want to Explorer these buildings
It reminds me of the old army unit near my grandma's house
I think 14-16
Since its bigger than shoreline
buoyant mason
just more than shoreline so that seems right
normal bear
But its so similar
outer viper
v-sync on or off?
waxen forge
I do off.
Lots of graphics beliefs like the run higher graphics to make the game use more of GPU.
We'll see how that all works when 12 drops
tall nymph
@waxen forge You still down?'
waxen forge
Yea I'll run a few
tall nymph
Alright cool

Where u want to run @tall nymph Hop in Beginners assistance voice

@foggy latch Strange, I just tried and it could be downloaded just fine. Tell him to delete all traces of Tarkov and try again.

Since I'm barely playing until the patch, I'm giving away 3 docs cases with 5 million roubles inside of each of them to three new players. Just let me know.
😁 💜
lapis mauve
me too
bold kernel
I don't know why I hoard so much money and then never spend it, I do it every wipe cycle.
I also hoard quest items/barter items.
covert bramble
is this game noob friendly?
bold kernel
Far from it, unfortunately. That's why there is the sherpa program.
covert bramble
because a friend is thinking in getting the game
lapis mauve
its pretty good
just make sure they join this discord so we can help them
it may be a bit rough starting but not bad after a bit
covert bramble
i havent played much, i just play the casual raid or offline but he wants to play multiplier so that why i came in here to seeks some advise for him
hes into squad, arma, milsim games mostly
bold kernel
If he's into those, he'll love this game. I was and still aim an Arma fanboy.
covert bramble
is account sharing bannable? because i thinking on letting him use my account for a weekend
regal plover
You're responsible for everything that happens with your account
manic totem
any experienced players wanna sherpa a newer player around? im pretty experienced in FPS's and have a good grasp on the game already, just need map experience, spotting enemies and positioning guidance
snow kite
So basically you need the core element of this game as far as i can see
Keep playing and it will get better with time, just need to go trough that rough first few days/week(s)
weary eagle
@covert bramble Account sharing is against ToS of the game.
tropic snow
I bought the game august 2017 got really disheartened and didnt pick it up again until newyear 2019... I was amazed and has been my go to game.
learn maps at not so busy hours, try to use your PMC more... be a cool dude and others will take you under your wing 😄 @manic totem
buoyant mason
If you're not an arse the community is super nice, we take on a whole heap of new players when we form squads ☺️
snow kite
Btw guys did scavs and raiders especially raiders always use crappy ammo? Feel like the lst week i always got destroyed by them and now i dont have such issues, my armor is actually doing something lol
tropic snow
warmage is often found in raider m4 yeah
rich cloak
I fucking hate this fucking face
☺
Does it hate you?
Does it appreciate you as a human being?
Does it wait for their buddy to stab you from behind?
Noone knows
Does it blush because it's shy? Or because they get fucking errect while thinking about murdering you?
These are the questions that keep me up at night
buoyant mason
It's my super sweet face, let's people know how nice/murdery I am 😅
scenic torrent
Im thinking of buying tarkov simply because i love realistic and looter games. The thing is that im worried about a few things.
Will the game run fine on gtx 1060 6gb, i5 8400, 16gb ram?
Will solo be fun?
How often will i face hackers (playing on EU servers)
gloomy thicket
should run it
i have gtx 1050 ti with fx-8350
16gb ram and it runs in middle
@scenic torrent
prisma veldt
@scenic torrent That'll run it pretty comfortably. I'm on a Ryzen 3 3200g's integrated graphics and get decent performance. As a primarily solo player, it's fun, and perhaps one of the most equal games in terms of grouped vs players. With good skill and tactics a 2-4 man squad wipe is possible.
rich cloak
I think I need to upgrade my ram to 16gb
prisma veldt
do it
no regrets for me honestly
like, video games, sure
but just general usage is amazing
scenic torrent
thank you @prisma veldt
buoyant mason
You have better specs than me and I get 60fps on high
prisma veldt
Ha, good luck. Remember you get group buy discounts too. And make sure they know what they're getting into. It could lead to a bit of animosity if they don't like the game or w/e.
scenic torrent
What specs do you have fluff?
buoyant mason
Identical other than the processor
I think we actually have the same
Derp
Ignore me 🤣
It's not stable 60 though, some maps and places it's closer to 45
prisma veldt
yeah it really depends on location and time of day
scenic torrent
Which map is the best optimized. I have seen some gameplay from forest and it looks really cool
scenic torrent
I will probably run it in low settings, hopefully it doesnt look too bad
prisma veldt
Nah, I run at 720p low and it runs fine. Run it at 1080p and it'll be buttery smooth, trust me.
buoyant mason
Shoreline it's close to 55 😅
prisma veldt
Moooooost of the indoor maps are fine, factory chugs for me occasionally, and rain on any outdoor map will slow things down a tidbit.
scenic torrent
Great. Im really excited to buy it. I instantly wanted to buy it when i saw that you could upgrade your stash size even if you dont have the deluxe edition or whatever its called
prisma veldt
Well lemme temper your expectations by saying it'll probably be a long road to that, BUT
You do you!
scenic torrent
Yea ik but its still possible
gunplay looks sick aswell. Im gonna pre order this game and ready or not
prisma veldt
Fair enough!
scenic torrent
Anyways, Thanks for all the answers :))
prisma veldt
Yeah EFT has been a very worth it experience for me despite the high cost. Really feels polished and cool.
You have a good time when you join up!
buoyant mason
Just remember this is all provisional info, noone knows how the engine update and all the fixes will impact performance ☺️
rich cloak
My game runs pretty smoothly but sometimes it just freezes for a solid second
And I don't know what causes it
scenic torrent
I heard that it would be fixed in 0.12 patch
buoyant mason
Yeah it should be but noone knows for sure yet ☺️
Just be aware of the fact you're buying into a beta not a finished product ☺️
bold kernel
I have not had any issues in the game before the pre wipe event started
Now i have studders and whenever i use any sight my fps drops fom 80 to 30
buoyant mason
Just because of more entities/gunfights/grenades and all that jazz ☺️
median storm
@scenic torrent right now will be a interesting experience for u since the traders are all boosted at max lvl for everyone so u can get like everything u want for incredibly cheap but yet again scavs are replaced w raiders that have way better gear and occassional aimbots lol
but once .12 hits it will go back to normal these are just pre wipe events to spice up the gameplay and hype it up 🙂
median storm
whats up?
static wren
im new to the game i went into customs and im lost :D
i bought it today
watched a tutorial on it but still cant seem to understand it
median storm
ah maybe a phone or something?
when i was new i pulled up maps of extractions and high interestr points and all that
helped alot
static wren
ye i looked at a customs map but im still lost
the points arent adding up
i ran in a building died instantly xd
static wren
okay
median storm
you will it alot easier
static wren
how do i insure my weapons
median storm
when u get good at those 2
u can right click them when theyre in ur inventory and press insure
where it shows all ur loot.
static wren
cant i insure all of them at the same time?
median storm
yes u can
when u go into a raid u press pmc and it asks u if u want to insure and theres a checkbox thatll ask ur if u want to insure all
just press that and pay for it
also try raids in offline mode
or casual mode whatever its called
median storm
its good for learning maps and theres no real players only npcs and u dont loose stuff if u die
u have an option to do both.
static wren
im doing woods rn and looking at a map but i cant make out anything. idk where i spawned
median storm
just look at landmarks the big rocky range and the middle of the map the lumberyard is like the biggest land mark.
also theres many LFG channels just hop in there and ask if u can join them and that ur new and all that alot of people wont wanna help u learn but some will.
static wren
okay ty
static wren
its okay :d
static wren
im from europe so ill try to be on :D

Ngl dunno why I bought this game I've always been shit at pvp lmao
Tryna get the first missions done and getting one tapped by EoD boys

well, right now all the ai are replaced with op raiders and everything is cheap so everyone is running around with the best gear
after wipe it will be easier

lapis mauve
i probably need help with pvp but i'm about to leave for work
