thompson was more just a US-British thing, what with paratroopers and tommies
but yeah, the rest of 'em are yknow
globally used in a modern sense
how about a Sten smg and a fkin semi auto shotgun like the benelli
also forgot the kriss
Mg42
or this case gun
magpul FMG
basically a glock in a case
but cmon
we have an automatic glock, why cant we have a case glock
The fuck, in which direction does that shoot
trigger is pointing left so its left
also in russia, people dont have the PPSH
why
the fuck
??

Ppsh stronk
"why would people have a gun that's like 80 years old"
the ak-47 is fucking
73 years old
the mosin is like 100
?????????
it's called the AK-47 because it was designed in fucking 1947
And it's not in use, the version made a few later is, which is..the akm
the ak-47 is no longer in use
Not really
the entirety of the middle east would like a word
Those are AKMs
a lot? yeah, sure
but ancient russian surplus ends up literally everywhere
ipso facto
@normal bear 
@whole fossil the AK-47 was called AK when it was outta prototype stage in regular service 
and most of the AK's are AKM's anyways
Does no one realise that m means modernised so if AK was actually adopted with the name AK-47 AKM would be called AK-47m ?
like it happened with the 74
helping me learn
all you've done is say that the AKM exists when i made a point about age
It's okay to be wrong just dont be salty about it
You are irate
I think "searching a guide to help you with tarkov" doesn't really break down to the real world distribution and creation of AK's but sure.
whatever makes you feel good dude, i'm not the one shittalking someone for no reason?
and i never said the original 47 was in tarkov
he made the point that the AKM merely exists
it's identical in operation and form to the original 47 variant besides the fact that the receiver is made en masse
the original was hand-milled on a lathe by a skilled laborer instead
but otherwise they're identical in form and function
Kalashinakov designed the autovmat kalshinokova in 1947, but it was never the actually the ak47. It was then later improved upon to become the AKM which was enhanced in several ways and mass produced to be adopted by military
And this isn't a fact but I think he got his inspiration from the sturmgewehr 44

the AKM platform is just the term for the "modern" ak-variant with a stamped receiver instead of a milled one
And its AK vs AKM. So
what are you on about
that its not called AK47
Guys when will wipe date come ?
No ETA at the moment @woeful siren
even better for me haha; more time to learn before the new wipe starts ๐
^cant stress this enough. Wipe will be the most enjoyable 2 weeks to play
What's usually the better ways as a beginner to start off with getting that sweet sweet Rubel?
hatchet run
Step 1: SV98
Step 2:Get suppressor and scope
Step 3: Buy 7n1 7.62x54r
Step 4: Go to Woods and shoot people in the chest
Step 5: Profit
Sit in a bush for 30 minutes, wait for everyone to be killed, scoop that loot lol ๐
Or be in a bush and murder everyone
Or that ๐
No
get fired again?
Also just buy svd and pso. Profit.
Why not sv98 and pso? Oh wait ๐ญ
and cheap, and available early
validay best day
y i k e s
i like the tac 30, doesnt get a lot of love tho'
Hugs my ta01 trijicon itโs ok
Aight Iโll give it a go tonight
how long will long take to get my gear back ?
from insure?
yes
it tells u when ur insure the approx delivery time
where can i see that ?
when u go to the insure page before u join a raid
says like approximate delivery time for each person that can insure
its like 24-36 hours for raptor
and therapist is 24 hours i believe
u pay more for therapist
where i find insure page ?
Just right click item and hit insure, lol @woeful siren
when entering a raid its one of the screens, just hit next until you see it.
I need help
all the prices are back to normal
and i cant afford anything anymore
i need help learning how to play
@lost drum i just am wondering because before the had the cheap weapons and max traders. Now all the traders are still max but not cheap
i used all my money to get guns to go raiding for fun because "pre wipe annarchy"
and now everything is different
i dont know i just got the game
oh ok
but can i get someone to teach me how to play
ill be on soon
anyone wanna run with me to get better loot
me
ill join
Just let me know what map you're going too. I like hunting down sherpas and watching the sherpalings panic 
join beginner assistance
anyone got any money they can give me? I wasnt able to get any during the event and I want to mess around modding weapons ๐ฆ
Guys what am I supposed to do when Iโm at 0 money and no gear at all and the ark prapor gave me for Beeing in a crisis was bad xD
Should I just try to scav in
On maps and try my best to loot stuff
If you're about tomorrow I'll give you free money?
either scav and try to extract or reset account
@bold kernel if you'll be around for another hour at so, I'll give you one of my donation docs cases of money. No one else wanted one.
^ top banana right here
awww thanks : 3
I just need to get off work and get to my computer.
thats ok take your time : 3
The only green guy I see but best green guy
C: agreed
maybe you should give it to someone else some one gave me money already : 3
and some one might be in need of that
What area should I be going to as I start the game? Installing rn so excited!!
For a first timer customs isnโt that bad
Factory is a bit small and new players just die too fast there
Factory is great for pvp not for loot
Also @dark portal youโre coming into a time where we have super so on every map so be careful
Super? What's that
Well we have two type of ai
The normal ones we call scavs
The super ones we call raiders
Raiders are normally found on labs
But due to wipe events they are everywhere
So you might find yourself dying a bit more than normal
Huh, so should I be taking anything in or just hope I find a gun and be on my way?
take stuff in.
I mean wipe is coming in the next few days so your inventory will reset
Most of the raiders anyway wonโt be wearing any head armour
So try to go for headshots
They have good gear as well
Ohh okay, I suppose I can spare a few pistols if my aim is good
So hunt down raiders ignore scavs?
If you can kill raiders you get pretty good loot
Alright, I'll kill maybe 1 scav and then hunt raiders
What are raider's identifying traits?
Well, I suppose I'll see what I can do
Game is about to finish installation so here I go!
im new and need help pleaseeee
raiders are just angry people in general
somebody hurt them as children so now they hate everything
@bold kernel
Pro Tip: Make good use of Offline mode.
how do i get to offline mode i cant find the option anywhere @brisk mortar
Once you select a location, it should be in the bottom-center.
Mmm, alright. Give me a moment.
@bold kernel
Screen after choosing a location, sorry.
I keep forgetting the map screen is there since I usually zip through it so fast. 
after i choose a location it just pulls up the screen saying no map
then i get the screen for joining groups
So: Selection, Map, Then Offline mode selection.
idk i cant find it i'll just play as a scav until i play with someone
Wait, what?
You need to be on your PMC to choose offline mode. @bold kernel
Were you on your SCAV?
oooooooohhhhhhhhhh
you also don't gain anything though, can't keep loot and you don't actually get xp so remember that too
if anyone has some money they can give a poor man I would appreciate it lol. I only have 65k rubles
reset profile
who needs money?
<<<
i do lol
dm your level
anybody wanna sherpa a new player around?>
modding guide for adar = modding guide for m4 i think
although you probably want to use m4 lower due to accuracy bug, unless you are just using it close range
@keen ibex tldr adar is trash and there is a simple equation to make meme guns
They arent even funny or hard to make but thats besides the point
Remove the stock
Put many flashlights
A big scope
And additional sights
Wow comedy
did it
only took about
2 million rubles
on trying to figure out what attachment goes where and such
so i have way too many wasted attachments
anyone would like to teach me woods?
when wipe happens, whom here would be interested in having me join them in raids and wouldnt mind giving out tips and tricks? im not totally new to FPS games or tactical gameplay, but i am fairly new to how the community works the game and the different things that follow with it. i.e. places to jump to from a position, tips on gunplay, what to and not to bring with you, what is a shit weapon or kit, etc. each game has their own rules, right now i have just been frustrated cause i just keep dying from getting one shot, and it honestly makes me kinda want to give up til wipe comes in, just like i do with rust.
I'm in the same situation... but i was actually thinking to take advantage of the situation and try to learn some things until the wipe happens.. to find someone to show me the maps, orientation in the maps, where and how to get to extraction points, guns etc..
ive usually only played offline, my online experiences have been nothing but short lived events.
@bold kernel Welcome to the server. Please take a look at #521628660298678283 and #news-setup to config you access and regional options.
For those of whom want a little wipe community, I personally invite you to my humble server. https://discord.gg/rqD6p3T
We will teach new players
Try and bait them into close range, 2nd part: simply hide or like you said break line of sight and wait for about 3 or 4 minutes.
I dislike engaging raiders at long range because of their notorious aim bot
try and draw them close or do your best to sneak
then how about engaging with them
whats the best distance to take a shot on one of them thats unsuspecting
and whats the best way to retaliate when getting shot but in cover
Is it possible to mod an SA-58? I am quite new to the game and saw on the itnernet you can attach a scope to it, a TA01NSN. Also said I had to buy a TA51, but I got them both and just can't put anyhrting on it.
Yeah mate, put the extreme duty dust cover on @solemn zephyr
No worries
If you're stuck look on the flea at that particular gun, find a built you like then inspect it and copy the parts you'd like
Cheers! Another quick question afterwards, I also bought some magezines but of course there are no bullets in them. Is there an easy way in game to find out what you need to put in there?
Right click and press linked Search on the weapon :)
Everything associated with the gun will be there
Likewise if you do the same with the magazine more often than not it'll pull up the correct rounds
M80 is probably what you're gonna want to use :)
Right click and then pressing linked Search is such a great feature, it'll help you out a lot
Thanks! o7
No worries buddy
Impossible to speak in #eft-chat
gotta use this one, it's just spam chat there
This was made 1 year ago... how is the status of net code\hit reg\ super bullet effect\ tick rate of EFT?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tfwdnY5cDg
During the past 3 years I've tested many multiplayer games, and so I thought I've seen it all. But this changed when I began to test the beta of Escape from ...
I heard (sure) that BSG actually outsourced the game netcode and server mngmnt... with some success. (btw)..
(however it's too early to claim things or require perfection from the game, it's important to know what is the status now)
I am scared that with not a great Connection ADSL 13 DL- 0.9 UL ... my RTT might be too high.. generally I have 30 - 60 in EU servers PING but ping is relative..
Since this is crucial in a shooting game and not to be under rated, I wanted to ask some info, but not "fan boy" answer ๐
I totally know what these issues are about: they are mentione dat 6:45 and on... around 7:10 and on. I just don't wanna play something that is so unprecise. SoI will wait, anybody can state that with a basic ADSL these issues do not happen?
Any update after the engine change? just wondering.
Yes I am checking April 27 2018 Battlenonsense video. seems improved but not much...
this is taxing for the game... anyway I hope the development will keep improving this. The game is really PORN!
@bold kernel This is not the place for that. Please, use the correct section next time.
I was gonna say lol, it's sorta like a self convo going on there ๐

Linked search barrel
anyone wanna help me get started?
I keep mistakenly killing friendly scavs๐ญ smh I can never tell if it's a player scav or a legit player
@weary eagle where could I share that so I get some answer. The point is not getting tagged as someone who wants to undermine, but actually receiving answers.. I am interested, how can one explain that.. i mean it's prettyclear..
eft chat is just spam\hater fest.
@bold kernel eft-chat and forum, I suppose
Info is a bit out dated.
Yeah but if u can discuss it in pm or eft chat Mrt it's better.
mod told me to not do this here righteously... i share the invite
Not what I meant. but sure
For weapon modding sites the info is a bit dated.*
yeah Weapon Modding hasnt been worked on in a while
yea i spent some time trying to make some things.... Getting familiar with searching linked parts is pretty good.
there is only a few odd cases I think
Would anybody like to play with me? I'm lvl 2 and having a pretty rough time with the game rn
Loving it either way tho
@dark portal I'm gonna be on later if u want help then
For sure buddy, I'll probably be on all day today @late tangle
Cool
im starting to think the raiders are fucking physic
i killed 2 raiders at long range, one of them blacked out my leg via shotgun
slug maybe, so i just popped a painkiller, nothing else needs to be healed
after checking the area, a random raider appeared and just shouted "Bad guy!"
i quickly ran into cover, there was no gunshots and i managed to get into cover in time
and upon checking my hp, it says the entirety of my fucking body is at 20 hp
Bleeding maybe?
Running on an blank limb still does damage.
as for the psychic
Do more factory. I was able to scav spawn and sneak behind a raider into bathrooms. found loads of gear. held out until I was last player. The raiders slowly honed in on me from minor movements and 2 grenades timed very distantly.
They will follow combat sounds.
There's also the issue that Raiders communicate with each other better than normal scavs.
Can't say more though of my experience cuz I think the Ai bugs out and shoots through certain walls in there and killed me in inventory.
Raiders don't really follow normal scav constraints...
Not having any luck in general chat, when did the economy event go back to full prices?
probably just scripted and ended at it's set date. focused on bugs so not concerned with the discontent
^
Thanks
@bold kernel but how much damage tho
i ran into cover and it only took me a split second to get into cover
Well black ur legs and try it. it's not gentle.
idk if someone has bothered to do a break down of it
idea is your not supposed to run crippled I think.
still tho if it forces your entire body to be moderately injured while sprinting for just a split second, thats pretty bs
I would agree on that for a fracture...
I think it's a nice touch to show how severe a injury and situation you've gotten into otherwise
I think a special med was coming for it though
self surgery kit?
maybe. or friend applied only would be interesting
im still waiting for a revive kit
lmao
playing with a friend is only if you die and you want some1 to hide your stuff cause you ggot insurance usually :v
i would like to see some way to be able to keep everything engaging instead of just dying and doing nothing about it
I actually ditch gear solo when I am out numbered. insurance returns and I scavage gear against them. no loses
inb4 "bAd GuY" and get 2 shot in the legs
now comes another question
how does a blacked leg work irl
you cant put weight on it
not well I figure. it's a dead limb. long term poison
blacked head lmao
aight
so I ditch n scavange
Making each life count for something then commiting to death is my goal
either i face a fort armored cunt or i get bAd GuY'd
I have stalked badasses as scav n just looted behind them. distantly sniping rarely
@keen ibex more then likely you where getting hit with the double blacked limb damage, where it can take upto 4 hp per sprint step.
It's a glitch
So i can actually die sprinting
If your leg is blacked, yes.
are all the maps that are in the game right now not available?
it says a bunch of em are locked
around half of them are not developed yet
that map is a place holder for what they want to do basically
What do i do if I dont have any guns or enough coins?
Which is the best beginners guide video?
You have an option to reset your profile if you feel the need.
Probably w/e video is most recent would help best since some latest patches make some major changes.
@scenic torrent You can also look into getting guidance from others here and sherpas

Ah ok thanks, one more question. Why is the time to kill sometimes 3-4 shots but other times like 3 magazines
Armour pen.
pistol rounds will take over 30+ rounds against class 6 armour
even class 4 face plates can take over 10+ ap pistol rounds
I like to use that chart for current patch to judge my effectiveness and what I can handle.
And rarely lag sometimes rears it's head.
Damn alright, this game is reaaally hard. It will probably get me like 1 year before i get decent
But thanks for the clarification :))
nonna
@scenic torrent 1 year....wow you learn fast, I feel would take me 5...but fun journey the whole time.
I kinda know what all the meds do and stuff. The thing that fucks it up for me is extraction, i dont know how to get there even with a 3d map
well you need to know how to read a map
you will learn landmarks eventually. you will also recognize places you have been and figure out where they are on the map, then figure what direction you need to go. might take a while but sooner or later you won't need a map anymore
and yes, using ammo that can pen the armor of the person you are fighting is important.
when 0.12 comes out is there gonna be a wipe
@late tangle for sure man one sec
@late tangle @dark portal yall mind if i join
Go ahead man, just FYI I'm new and very bad @narrow sedge
also mind if i join ahhahaha
Full squad, why not?
@dark portal im newish also so
where we gonna talk
Quad bravo @safe wedge @narrow sedge @late tangle
@dark portal sorry it took me so long im getting on now
@narrow sedge @dark portal if u guys wanna move to a quad call i can join
@late tangle ya
with the auto recoil control, what's the correct way to full auto? just to hold and let the recoil sort itself out?
That's something you gotta figure out for yourself
@safe wedge you guys end up dying?
Everything
@late tangle I died after getting stuck in a log during that match, but I appreciate the gear broโค
Ya no worries I'll get it back in like an hour anyways
That was actually all from my most recent raid and I just repaired some of the stuff @dark portal
I was told to look for a #looking-for-a-group but cannot find it
@daring pulsar cause you havent accepted the rules
#521628660298678283 #news-setup then restart discord
oh ok. Where would that be?
Got it found it
I restarted my whole laptop after shutting discord down in task manager but still cannot find the find a group #. I think I may be very stupid.
you need to accept the terms and things in the setup chan
click on the boxes that apply to you and then you should see then channels
I did that and I still can't see it.
rules chan too ?
Yes.
sorry bro i dont know what else to suggest. post it in suppor chat ?
@neat grove help @daring pulsar
Yuh
I think it worked on a hard reset
@daring pulsar @steady pilot restarting your PC or discord has nothing to do with it
Its a server side thing that just sometimes takes a few minutes
ditto ๐
Either available after wipe? Im strapped for time pre-wipe
Ive got some raids lined up with a mate but it would be cool to get some a vet or two to actually teach me
how does one have a really stable and steady gun
cause its hella annoyingg when i get into cover to hold the fort, only to have the reticle swing so damn much like my character's drunk on acid
When you inspect a gun, there is a tab that says ergonomics. The higher the number, the less stamina it will drain while you aim. You can inspect any weapon part to see if it affects ergonomics as well @keen ibex
i thought ergonomics only affect ads time
laser makes sway almost 0 i think
is any one else getting fucked byy the servers tonight?
also blacked arms gives you lots of sway
@keen ibex do you mean ads or hip fire holding cover? and holding shift does work for a time to steady it.
ADS
Laser I think keeps pretty steady at the hip but ads does get a bit annoying... forget if ergo steadies that vs recoil control.
i dont mind recoil control tbh
its just the laser that it adds
no its just the laser
ill search in mornin..
no
Left click
every single time i try to heal, a raider just appears out of nowhere having wallhacks in the middle of the night
They can smell you healing
just 100% accuracy and perfectly cook a nade
and the moment i try to run, i just get stuck in the healing animation
If you get completely stuck in the healing animation (like, it never ends) then toss that med item from your inventory.
That'll stop the animation
but at that point im dead anyways
@kind cliff @simple void If you have nothing to do here or help or get help, stop spamming this channel.
Gotta clear your area before trying to heal I guess, or find somewhere to hole up. Healing is rarely something urgent
Cant see or hear shit if im in the rainy night tho
Especially at 2300 where raiders are fucking night visioned
and i got back 1.5x the amount i lost just by using a mosin :v
Do scavs speak english or just russian?
Normal scavs only speak russian
altho raiders can speak either english or russian
raiders have actual weapons
raiders usualy have moded guns like m4s, hks, mdr, ak103...
hk416s
well id say a normal scav with a hunter is scarier than more raiders imo
i like how when i use any weapon, the raiders just spot me outright and kill me instantly
cuz that without recoil is bs
Gotcha
but the moment i just take out the mosin, they dont give a fuck
Y'all know where to get good money? Can't buy and die with 120K roubles left :P
well there are money runs and stuff like that
How do those go?
well for most of them you need a pretty big investmet to begin with
but some of em you need to hit certain loot spots on the maps
interchange and shoreline are the main ones
but then there is labs where there are no normal scavs and most players go in geard af
and you need a 40k single use keycard to eaven get in
but a normal run in labs can get you arround 500k
wana run togeather?
also yeah there are 2 eletronic stores, a couple of boxes you can hit
Sure, I'm just extremely bare bones rn since I've mostly been dying to kitted out players
Techlight has some nice valuable electronics usually. Generic store has a good amount of weapon crates. Kiba is a locked up gunstore. If you've got the keys that place is good.
its fine
not always orbb
usualy its camped imo
i got the keys but its not worth opening if you arent sure its 100% safe
YOLO it
Toss smoke in the doorway to cover you entering and exiting.
Only time smoke is useful
Might try to go for that secure container beta, just so I have more space. But getting the dollars is tough
come into duo alpha
Have fun you two. Happy raiding!
orbb you wana run with us?
Omw
Nope. Sorry.
all good my guy
Well I'm trying to open discord but it's being weird
One sec
Mobile discord user btw
im in asia
i dont dare to play at 300ms cause last time i did that
it made everyone frozen
anyone need money pre wipe to try out modding weaps?
why the fuck
cant i run
when im not blacked leg
every single time
keeps getting me killed from nades
Second time again
Why doesnt this gamr allow me to run when i want to
Is there some shit idk about armor that delays people from running
and i died from sprinting
thank you game, very cool
what? if you are bleeding or have a fracture its obvious
@slow thorn yeh give me money
armor and anything you put on yourself affects your weight you put on your legs and makes you run slower or at least stamina bleeds faster
if you try to sprint while being shot at and get hit it drains stamina
that too
yesterday i got my left arm and both legs blacked out, patched up and survived but no running after that anymore
@snow kite my legs werent blacked tho and i couldnt sprint because apparently theres a delay from closing the inventory to sprinting
oh the delay yes, i noticed that one too but if that affected your if you survive or die, you wouldve died anyway
Hello Freinds
damn its a hard game ๐
It really is yeah
Havent played in awhile and thinking of doing some scav runs just to get my feet wet
because of raider event guys after wipe it will be scavs back
Am i the only one who doesnt like the helmet visors? They are dirty and often a distraction in spotting enemies
you don't need to use them
True but one does think like they offer more protection
And to me they disturb me more than they help me
why cant we clean them anyways
LFG FACTORY!
@lapis mauve @keen ibex https://youtu.be/w8I5IbvJ3EA this was my source. I remember giving it a go my self and feeling the same. unless I missed a recent patch for it
Had someone give me the idea to test if lasers give you better hip fire accuracy vs not having a laser on. Daily Livestream - https://www.twitch.tv/anton____...
so I go by suggesting ppl use one. of course hiding the laser at corners so u don't flag ur position
i took down 4 people and 6 raiders with the alien adar
and then died via sprinting
technically i got 1 shot by a fking pistol runner but still
lost so much hp even after healing all of my limbs except the blacked limbs
i wasnt even bleeding
once two limbs are black I basically consider my self critical and look for an out
really now
black limbs take or spread out more damage i think?
in any case. I use the insurance and push to profit more then continued losses
yea but running with blacked limbs makes you lose 20 hp for like 3 steps
maybe bug still.... big deal. adjust
i got a bunch of mags from a very successful raid. I only got the game today and manage to sneak out. Sold the guns and attachments but im not sure what to do with the mags and ammo?
yea ill adjust but still tho
@deft ibex what mags and ammo you got
usually i sell the mags and ammo
theyre not bad, but theyre not great either
if their in keeping with ur load outs. use em. or sell for space
a bunch of AK Pmags with PS in it. some 5.45 BT ammo and 2 60 round 6L31 (no clue what that means).
how do iu check what extracts i can use as a scav?
also got some SP8 gzh
double tap o
thanks
I use that chart to decide on what ammo i'm using and learning it's effectiveness
with a little bit of in game testing
im straight up stupid when it comes to knowing what weapons i can use them with or what weapons i should use
Well if figuring out how many bullets it'll take to kill a guy is to much trouble... just use anything and mag dump all targets
if nothing else your recoil soft skill will love it
right
and things 'eventually' die
i understand that my issue stems more from knowing weapon-ammo compatibility, do you know of any documents that could shed some light?
same chart as above
recognizing 545 vs 556
ak vs m4 is maybe a minimum
but the difference in mag appearance should clue most in
isnt 5.45 weaker than 5.56 and 7.62
hard to say
or is 5.56 < 5.45 < 7.62
okay perfect. Thank you very much. I'll hold on to the ammo until i see which guns im gonna be using on the regular. I heard PS was a keeper.
going by my chart 545 could be said to have a wider range of effective ammo vs tier 3+ armours
at I think cheaper prices
556 seems to favour frag chance though goin off my chart so maybe lucky one hits on the head
never really used ammo in that way
ps 762 is for sure... though 762 is nice in generall @deft ibex
I'm not very fond of ak rounds or m4 rounds my self... both do favour spray in one form or another
762 being sks. There is a couple AK's that branch in other ammo types now I think of it. AKM I think usually goes 762 which is nice
@deft ibex I'm gonna be on soon do you wanna do a raid or two?
sounds appealing but i honestly have no loadouts sorted. Dont know what to bring with me (i have a base med setup idea but idk what else i'd wanna take with me)
i have an ak-105 i looted on top of the two base AKS you get. That a keeper? not tight on space atm
That's fine I'm getting on rn if u want help
sure, lmk what voice you want me to hop into
Just join beginners assistance
anyone out there
?
if you don't mind an absolute novice I'm up for it
@bold kernel you;re correct about the rounds. However honestly it's really to each their own. Doesn't matter if you have the best 5.56 round and gear if you get outshot by a dude with the crappiest 9mm who can actually aim.
i am in need of beginners assistance
@glacial scroll what ya need?
like all the help @opaque mirage
as in getting started?
yup
okay welp you picked a great day, the new patch is coming out tomorrow. its the biggest one realeased yet if i were you i'd just wait until tomorrow. however https://youtu.be/7tAXl7bp3EM this video is a full beginners guide of the game currently. just note that the game will be Significantly diffrent when the patch comes out
no problem
yes if you buy or do anything now it will reset tomorrow. there will be a full wipe meaning everything youve done or have will be reset to the point of when you first bought the game.
Ok thx:)
anyone needs some help before the reset drops
sure but it will cost you 4 pounds 99 p

can i leave an offline raid or will i lose my stuff
its gonna take me forever to find this exfil on interchange lol
If it's offline you can leave no problem. However on Interchange only 2 exfil to remember. 1 out front door of Idea to t he front right corner by some train cars (NW). Other one is SE. Out back of Ollie to the right corner between some tents and a truck.
Yea that's out back of Ollie (green sign store). Go out back door and down the ramp. Past a bus and to the back right corner near some tents and a truck.
Soooooooo the offline mode is misleading :/ I spawned in at night as PMC and thought I didn't wanna risk it and laid low the entire game, only to find out that I was marked missing in action and lost all my gear, which is NOT what happens in offline, in offline you can go the entire game and not extract and it'll give you the same congrats as when you extract
At the end of offline if you die the first screen will have the red at the bottom saying you lost your stuff but it's not correct. IF you really went offline then you will not lose your stuff. Won't even lose the ammo you use of the meds you use.
If you lost your stuff then you weren't offline
Nothing is lost/gained in offline mode. It's strictly a testing ground.
That's not what I meant
Probably should've been more clear
I meant that the offline mode should indicate that you were missing in action and would've lost items if you were in online
Ah
Since extracting and not extracting in offline yields the same congratulatory screen
Sucks, but I guess wipe is tomorrow so it doesn't matter much
because TAW are bad players and need easy kills
TAW?
The Art of Warfare.
Is that like a clan?
Clan.
Ah
hi frenks
help with what
You know that app that lets you talk to blind people and be their eyes?
Can you do that for me
But
hey guys whats a good beginner setup
Last month I was in an accident and my vision got fucked up
@static wren Change your name
hey guys whats a good beginner setup
... sure.
i have 295k cash
even worse then currently damn son
and all my starting things are lost
What the fuck is that supposed to mean shootboi
Really beginner (which we'll all be using tomorrow) would be something like SKS with scav vest.
:color:
Little better since it's late wipe would be maybe AK74M with a MBSS, blackrock, 6b helmet and maybe a 6b13 armor vest.
im kinda scared to waste alot of money on sets if i die instantly
whats a good map to play on
i usualy take a scav and go factory to try n get some sets
I started playing yesterday and I do the same.
when my Scav is on a timer, i go with my PMC with only a knife -> hide till 10min -> loot all the piles till 2-3min left -> extract -> 100k+ rubles ๐
Unless something goes wrong wipe is Tomorrow. You are gonna lose it all anyway.
Just run it
do we get the set for the preorder again?
yup
You get what you had the day you bought the game
owo
good
so i can die with it again
what day 1 set should i buy or should i run with the ak i get
i had eft for like 3 days now but my pc was freezing up n shti so i couldnt experience it fully
You are gonna be running low stuff. Nobody will have high level traders so all the fancy stuff will be locked for all of us.
its fixed now so i hope i do better
i do recommend getting an ak-74n and as much ammo as you can carry and practice hip firing in an offline raid
You'll be running scav vests, little bags, maybe blackrock
Well fancy stuff will take as long as it takes players to kill radiers/scav guards
Learning to use what you have to it's utmost efficiency will help though.
offline is great for that
Screen cap your current mouse and key bind settings to prevent head aches later.
With every wipe they resert prefrences and keybinds
vepr is pretty pog

Hey @iron blaze am I late for this?
Friendly reminder that the game will be resetting and everything is being wiped in a little over 7 hours.
@regal plover I'm new to this game, how does this impact a beginner?
Everybody is being reset back to lvl 1 so it will be an even playing field.
Oh!! why is that? what about their coins and progress?
i keep getting hit by grenades through walls
With the exception of the friends list everything is completely being wiped and reset
It's for balancing the new update, tracking player progress ,testing how tasks are handled, etc.
grenades just make me anger
leg gets broken by 1 bullet and then all i can do is stare at the grenade and accept my fate

So I have been playing since .8 but I'm still getting a 17 percent survival rate plz help
I'm honestly not too sure what I'm doing wrong
better aim?
better sound sense? position? those are what I can see is core for survival
I mean, I'm taking down geared players and soloing duos and trios but I am allways loosing money and dying to some third party
So maybe sound sense?
Yeah
voice?
Uh.. Sure
haha
"Im always killing duos and trios, but im still losing money"
I can't get out of the raid is the issue
timed out of the raid or wut
I take out the first party then something else kills me
Haha
Yeah
It's just the raiders or like bullshit one tapping me as soon as I round ร corner through my facesheild or whatever
Ace I'm almost back
np
Just picked up the game a few days ago and I've been doing as much research on new player tips as I can, is it recommended to spend a ton of time in offline mode against AI before going online, or just learn extracts in offline and then throw myself online until I get better? Will it be terribly difficult to get back up from zero if I lose everything from repeated deaths? I'm getting my ass kicked by scavs in offline and I want to make sure I won't be screwing myself over if I decide to just throw myself online until I get better instead of only playing against offline scavs for a week or two before I even touch online
up to you
@proper widget maybe try to find a duo partner and play a little together.
Do what they do and try to learn.
If you die a lot you can play as a scav and try and extract with that kit to use later
@proper widget right now offline ur playing against raiders as well so a lot harder
just stick to one map and learn it, if you wanna play safe, stay at the edges, move slow etc
pause, scout, listen
I donated my 1M+ Rubel HK416 to my favorite streamer, I'm proud.
Alright, thanks for the advice
Oh yeah I meant for after wipe, forgot to specify that
thats hard to say
its gonna be wild next wipe
since a new map is coming and everything
Does wipe take away money....?
it takes everything
its like you just bought the game
Just lfg to use the last of my gear for fun
for me sometimes i don't loot a body if i think it will get me killed. once i have good loot i be as safe as i can on the way to extract. sometimes there is just nothing you can do.
Once .12 drops, who would like to do runs with this noob? :>
oh god...the .12 waiting chat is holy
im up for a noob party when .12 drops
I'm up for downloading the game if it'll let me complete the purchase.
cool
@still helm Try using Paypal. Some banks get picky about the Russian thing.
@keen ibex You will have the beginning gear. Stash will have what you had the day you bought the game.
How soon after purchase will we get access to the game?
IF it weren't for the fact that it is updating.
Please wait for the official Escape from Tarkov Beta testing invitation.
So nobody can play right now
There's no button to download the launcher. Maybe I'm confused?
go to your profile
It's on the website but they are in the process of updating the game. Just walk away for awhile.
there you can find the launcher install button
The website is having issues. Game updating. Not a good t ime
@mellow hazel Exactly what I was looking for. Tyvm
Is the patch still not finished uploading?
Not yet
nikita is saying the website is having overload issues
lots of people spamming check for updates button isnt helping
how can i join a channel to talk? i dont see any channels
go to rules
Correct. So if you bought it today in the past couple hours. Just walk away for an hour or so. Let if finish
How can I get pmc rank
afterwards if you still cant see channels, message a mod theyll help you out @regal canopy @willow bone
i cant see people in channels
But at the same time it may take a minute as the site if overloaded with .12 stuff. Notice the 100+ people in the .12 waiting room channel
@waxen forge I pressed on everything
Is the waiting room for the stream?
You will need to wait for the bot to process it or a mod but not a great time right now.
12 is being uploaded. Whole discord is overloaded. Mods overloaded. Bots overloaded.
the check mark in the rules wont work xD
oh ok thx
Kinda like showing up at 11:30pm on 12/31 and asking for a hotel room in New York City Times Square.
Discord is OVERLOADED.
Just wait
ok thx
Thanks @waxen forge ๐
Hello
clrearly
Usual tips in that stream. They're going over the importance of NOT engaging every fight.
help ples
Help?
yes?
Was responding to @still saddle however I'm guessing it's "I'm new and can't load up the game."
henlo
!play
For those not watching the BSG stream. The 12 update is available for download HOWEVER the servers are totally overloaded. They are planning on adding as queue to help sort this out.
is there any fix for, not being able to download the launcher?
waiting
Ouch
same time tommorow it'll be fine
Patience
a hundred thousand people are trying to download the update. Nikita said servers are overloaded.
I'm talking about the launcher it self
It's all connected. Their entire system is overloaded
oh
๐
if you cannot log in, close your launcher, delete the following file:
%AppData%\Roaming\Battlestate Games\BsgLauncher\Settings
and relaunch your launcher
you have to relog in a few times
as your logins may get rejected
but once you're login is accepted, it should start the update.
No
or you could not do that and log in normally and start downloading like me.
as the overload slowly calms down
^my game started downloading too.
download speeds of 1mb/s
i don't understand why i can't get over 200KB/S ๐
Because their servers can't support 1000's of downloads. So it's dividing it's service to everyone evenly... which is slow.
gotcha, thanks !
hey just wondering, any of you guys know the reserve extraction points?
any adive on logging in?
how ,long does it take to regen after dying
The scav? under 5 minutes?
How SCAV spawning is working? I killed all SCAVS at one place, looted them... And other scavs was spawned near me and killed me.
Scavs/Player Scavs spawn over time.
Do scav bosses always spawn?
The server is only ever empty at maybe under 10 minute raid time left
Scav boss is random... like 25% I think
anyone want to drop me their gamma container
In game?
in announcements
Yeah also getting 260. Just can't log in. For hours now
We are all in the same boat fellas, it will ease up soon. I have only just got my launcher to work ๐
๐๐ป
