@static wren Loss prevention and taking advantage of secure container. Youtube should have guides to get you started. mind not all are up to date but have general tips toward progress. Maybe catch a sherpa or my self for vc to get more detailed answers.
ye im talking to @barren garden currently
π
does anyone know where to find lightbulbs? keep not finding any in oli
they are on all the maps. i havent been able to find a specific place that has them though
is there any way to play this game borderless
@shut umbra yes from Battlestate Launcer, and Settings (Display mode)
@shut umbra
or under Graphic in-game
@lunar wigeon They are found in common random loot spawns. Places you find random gun parts, tools, food layin around. Filing cabinets have a lot of these items.
question, when carrying absolutely nothing, whats weighing you by 2 kg
CLOTHES
youre wearing 2kg of clothes.
shit you don't have access to flush out because your lavatory is lvl 0 lmao
Itll be great if most of the stuff in the hideout had some use
Wtf is the use of a toilet anyways
To SHIT
im always droping in frames whenever i get into combat

That's kinda normal. Things get intense then you lose some.
Helps to get as much spare fps out as you can.
kinda buffers it
I only sit around 70 fps at best
Just upgrade your gaming chair TM - @split vapor
im assuming you are already using lowest settings. and if so and youre only getting 30 fps. im sorry to say but your pc probs just sucks.
is 16 GB of GPU good? or atleast minimum requirments?
because for the computer i have it shouldnt be running this slow
i have update my drivers and all that crap
i think i should mention; my computer is very slow all in all,
RAM, i dont know this shit so your probaby right
lowest settings isn't the complete fix. Go offline mode and try adjusting your settings in a low fps area until you get it as high as you can.
There is also some various methods on youtube to try
Just use the Speccy app
Go down load Speccy
You can gauge your temperatures too because that's affects it
CPU is 2.00 Herts
Dear laawwdd
Go download Speccy and snap shot everything got. It will tell you exactly what everything is and the details
do u guys think this is worth selling or should i keep the stuff
My cpu is overclocked to 4.5 ghz and it's an i5
tushonka are useful for quest and akm trades.
Keep the tusshonka
Your stash is so empty though maybe a profile reset would help more...
ye im pretty bad rn
LOL
started 5 days ago so im kinda trash at this xd
Yea maybe keep running scav and just get out with guns
And yes scav run as much as possible on interchange or something
do some offline factory with pve on for some combat practice as well.
Just avoid center mall
Not much better
ye
Mosin will work for a minute for sure
what does profile reset do
Gives you a fresh start.
should i do that?
Yes. And then hire a sherpa or play with someone to teach you
It will.make it more enjoyable
Btw
!sherpa
Bot is broke rip
Fair I guess
you can't reset your profile for 3 weeks from the wipe
important detail lol
@static wren scav only and hire a sherpa for pmc runs my dude. Go learn maps and research wiki. Only thing that will get you going
This game is very enjoyable once you get in the groove, it's a knowledge game pretty much. Knowing where people traverse
so basicaly i sold like 70% of my inv then got the notification that he said profile resets work 3 weeks after wipe n i wanted to kill myself then sold the rest of my inv so now i have 240k cash n i need help buying a starting set to get cash
or ima go scav factory
n get shit
Yeah best way to learn i would say is to just run scav
I am still pretty shit at the game but alot better than when I 1st started
Also always make sure to claim your gift from the website :)
i have a scav with an ak should i just run factory and run to extract?
Buy a gun. Get good at using it. Avoid death. You black a limb in raid. Your next goal is to exfil.
id suggest running scav vest + sling with makrov if you want a barebones starter kit
Although its trash it will still help you
should i extract if as soon as possible or what
Just go on interchange loot what you can. Dont shoot ai scav unless necessary
Avoid center mall
Ez loot
i saw a video where a guy just ran into the tech stores n looted into his gamma crate and disconected
Dont be a bitch like that lol
ye just saying
People like him ruin the game imo
is just running into tech stores and exfilling good?
whats the point of disconnecting you just lose the shit anyways
For pmc
jfc
I voted for container nerfs that if you disconnect on purpose to forfeit your container items
that would make alot of players mad cuz they probably do that :D
Yep get rid of normies plox
looking for a mentor or guide
@candid wasp hire a free sherpa on forums
Whats a starting level armour?
Any free armor you take from a dead dude
Cause you canβt buy much straight off the bat
is it ragman that sells armour once you level him up?
Yes
my scav spawned with the kotton beanie xD
What's the point of looking for a group if everyone declines?
And no one adds you to one?
Also yes jaylo it's ragman
thanks i spawned in as a scav with the labs keycard?
is the keycard worth anything
150k
Oof
very nice
yeah so i should just keep it in my gamma container?
Agreed
Don't panic though or you'll die
and i ran through xD
Yes
You dont get a gamma with a scav
Yeah i know but when i go labs
That would be broken to get a gamma with scavs
I spawned in saw i had the keycard and didnt know if it was rare or not so ran to the bunker extract on factory
Nice
I also got the kotton beanie xD
@balmy leaf so?
@steady pilot my first run after selling everything. pretty decent imo
wow thanks for the tip on interchange, ive never had such a chill looting experience lmao
keep it up
what was the tip? sounds interesting lol
just to go there instead of my usual customs
its really chill only having 3 extracts so i dont have to worry about finding one on the other side of the map
ah right yeah, cause of the early game quests n stuff
yeah. i still gotta do that
@jovial stag as long as you avoid center mall and southwest extract you should have little pmc contact
yeah i was trying to figure out where i was for half the time lmao. wound up at nw ext
^ 10/10 would recommend. You learn them so quick
^
thats how im running it
got this open 24/7
my right monitor is maps
I should be a sherpa. I'm an asshole with good intentions so I'd be the sherpasshole
no one hires me
Ecks dee
lol
ryan go to work
any new players that want to play as group?
idk i just couldnt find a match as a PMC?
Do not recommend playing with inexperienced people together lmao. But I guess you can end up with a good duo
better than experienced assholes though
Okay, gamers.
Here's some gamer knowledge.
also my paranoia is starting to take a toll on me
anyone know why i cant find a PMC game?
it takes long since the servers are full

AP end game ammo consists of 762 bp, 545 bs/7n39, 762 m80/m61 always strong, 762 7n1, 556 m995
^
@steady pilot i have the google docs open in my browser about the bullet types but idk which ones do the most armor piercing. the ones with the most penetration value? or armor damage(%)
Armor pen yes
okay
Using the link I provided it has an estimated amount of shots to kill. against each armour.
Fresh wipe is strong for many ammo cause no armor
delta out here watchin out for the freshies like a fuckin king
7.62 is my usual go to starter round
Pretty much
At level 1. nothing really.
I think there might be paca for trade of 4-5 scav masks
should i wait for fence to sell it or buy it from the flee market
which would help against shotguns and pistols mainly
what trader should i level up first?
Its not worth the money to buy armor right now. You should focus on not getting shot
Fence over prices everything... really not worth buying from him. If you practice you can live off the raids.
Ie playing slow and taking your time with shots. Dont just asap shoot at someone that you cant finish. That's a losing fight sometimes against experienced players
If someone is oblivious to you, take the time for the shot.
So the locked things in hideout will come in future updates? or am I just not high enough level yet to unlock them
They give their requirements to use/upgrade.
^
I haven't seen something 'locked' in my hideout
Might be quest locked
Clicking it say anything? it might just be progression related.
Did you
mechanic starts rewarding bit coins as you build rep

I'll be in duo alpha to try and help.
Who should be leveled first?
If I didnt work 11hrs everyday and have a gf I'd help more 
Follow the tasks and you'll level them all pretty evenly.
@vague wind prapor and skier handsdown
Prapor lvl 2 is very very useful for cheap kits and mods
unless your looking for something there isn't really a major unlock first I think...
Skier 2 should be second for more mods and good weapons kits
Pk lvl 2 isnt very hard.
And ragman lvl 2 is good when you have money for armor and stuff but honestly shoot just loot that shit
Pro tip, insure your back packs, rigs, armor, and helmets, and soon as you get some just throw your shit in a bush and wear the new shit
Your old shit come back. Tada
No
just insured items them selves.
ammo and meds are excluded in insurances.
@static wren @jovial stag you get those tips 
Also the money requirement from traders rises with selling them shit too. Technically you can buy items and sell it back for 2/3 back
Or is it 1 /3 back. 
Been a bit. Lmao
My money is on 2/3 return
@tepid matrix should be a 40k+ item. If not hang on to it. Might be useful for a cheap suppressed adar or m4. Suppressors are strong rn
what are am i meant to do when me and my friend spawn next to fully geared guys
spawn rushing is common. Make do. Take cover. Can always wait. Longer raid goes the more ppl take them selves out.
I wait but he just throws a grenade
Well if they know where you are...
Can always ditch gear in a bush and run naked for nearest safty/scav to loot
then they get nothing and you insure your gear returns
If they dont see you do it
Then it's just a game of rags to riches
I've done that before and they track your shit
i mean, i had a toz so its not so bad but 0 exp aswell
gotta play to your strengths. if you can't get in close. break off. explore different paths. or just do what damage you can.
250 damage absorbed by armour
I've been cornered by a squad and taken 3 men down before I die...
and that's been fun in it self.
I seem to be able to get lots of exp and loot when playing scav but quite the opposite when playing pmc
shrug get some combat exp in factory.
well i cant seem to extract yet on interchange so im just gonna hide by the trains and mag drill for 20 mins
Does anyone have pictures of the new trader levels?
Aye, so my big issue is that i started this game at the end of .11 patch right in the midst of the pre-wipe event. so i couldnt learn to well due to getting blasted by kitted plays aswell as raiders. now im thrusted into .12 with all this new confussing shit and feeling like i cant learn anything cause offline raid is unrealistic to experience in online raid aswell as these damn buffer timers.
wtf am i to do.
Watch some streamers perhaps
grab an ak, a scav vest, and a sling bag and jump onto interchange and stay the fuck away from the mall
Why ?
They do stupid shit that doesnt translate well
Not all of them.
they do shit for entertainment not for actual strats
@cobalt ravine What server/ times you usually on?
You said streamersso I gave a general answer
I dont mind helping new folk
There you go ^
Not to add that I have mad gear fear due to not nowing the real value of rubles and the count times on scavs.
slob is great
@undone sable U.S Tz im on all day today and after 4pm on weekdays
deadly slob is great. but hes a vet.
Just use a veprkm and sks with 762 ps
High scav drop weapons
Very cheap
Does the job
You dont need high end shit. Just play smarter
anyone have that chart of who to sell what to
No but I can tell you
ok so not sure if i just played a hacker or an exploiter but i was on customs and there was a PMC running in place by the tent by dorms and they only had a knife, 20 seconds later i died to this guy with his knife but he is invisible and his body is still running place
Attachments/rigs/armor to skier, every other wep parts and guns to mechanic, grenades to prapor, and I dont recommend selling trade items to therapist but she gives the most for everything else
@jovial stag
IN Duo Alpha to answer questions
oh cool ty
Pays the most Therapist>Skier>Mechanic>Prapor Is order I use. Unless I want big american tit-cough guns. Then I sell to peacekeeper to get that $$$ for M1A.
I have a feeling I'm going to spend a lot of time in this chat...I walked around the woods and missed my extraction point in my first scav raid last night.
What a rush.
Anyone want to show me the ropes?? Know the basics but just struggling to get that lucky break. Scottish guy always up for a bit of Cheeki Breeki. 20hrs total play time
Any good YT vids to do some research while I'm waiting IRL
@wooden gazelle Deadly Slob, Pastily are who I use
Was just watching deadly on twitch a bit ago. Thanks @viscid wagon
They have training videos ect really good
anyone have scav case in hideout ?
hey guys is there a sherpa online that i can play a few games with
I need someone to teach me how to play
i mean.... there is ton of youtube tutorials, what i been doing is scav runs to learn the maps
so far shoreline is kinda remembered
Yeah but I like learning with someone
also i have a map open on my other display π
If only my desk was big enough for a second display
btw @bold kernel You level traders more by selling to everyone but peacekeeper and just buy dollars off him. I think you make more money that way too
Compared to what?
Sell these things to these traders if you do sell anything
Skier- armor, clothing, weapon attachments
Therapist- meds, trade goods, dog tags
Mechanic-weapons
Prapor-nades
Ragman-nothing cus hes a cheap ass
Peacekeeper- you can sell weapons to him but your better off selling to mechanic and buying usd from peacekeeper.
I make money from raids and from the order I sell in. Leveling them is just meeting the requirements through any general trade. I just like using m1a and stocking some dollars when i'm not leveling.
@steady pilot didnt see it. I got in here late
why does this m7a1pdw stock give so much -recoil? the thing does NOT look like it would.
is it way harder to find the customs office key now than before?
i still havent been able to complete delivery from the past
I dunno. Ive barely been able to get into customs to do quests.
anyone try CMS yet?
Cms?
This was in 11.7 btw
is there any way i can convert my usd to roubles
Flea market?
@woeful siren is there a button that says ''use Launcher settings only'' or something?
ingame graphics dont have a borderless option
full screen is cancer
and windowed mode is even worse
only way to make it borderless windowed is thru the Launcher settings but after 0.12 those settings are ignored
i'm not high enough level for the market
buy with PK and sell to the others
found a salewa, found a stash of meds, got a scav with 2 keys, was hype, then got shot in the face
feels fuckin bad man
now im stuck in queue at 6 goddamn minutes
@jovial stag its the tarkov experience man
^^^
how can i override the games Resolution?
game resolution is fullscreen or no good window
meanwhile launch options has borderless
@bold kernel you could buy stuff from peace keeper and sell to skier but its inefficient
not a direct trade maybe 70% of their value
but you do train trader levels
how do scav groups work?
if i reinstall it will keep my loot right
@sly cobalt you go in together and act as normal, spawn next to each other
@kind cliff yes
ok thanks love you
no prob, its all tied to your account and if you get to the point where you want to start over for whatever reason you can do an account reset
mind factory spawns cam be.... jarring
Therapist also gives best price for technology stuff like pc parts
you cam be split fairly far
What's current price for Tetris console
not sure but they should run about 150k
Hello, anybody able to help me out with money runs? I already understand the fundamentals of the game so im not too new lol
Not worth a Bitcoin anymore
its tradable for one
Cheers mate
@patent arrow I would show you one but I'm in classes right now, interchange is probably the easiest one I'll dm you a video breaking down a decent route and my recommendations
neither are really good for loot unless you want major risk
Ive got lots of experience in comp. pc shooters, so I win most of my firefights anyway (unless they're rockin maxed out armor + meta weapons)
so anything with medium risk(ish)?
Interchange middle mall.
aight ill google the map to learn what even to do lol
It's good for scav looting... only thing that needs keys is emercom and gun store kiba... but that's goin in some hot territory.
Like i said avoid center mall
mind the extract campers as well.
Yuuup
Nothing like waiting for someone to come outside after letting them loot 40mins
I'm a patient mother fucker and occasional do it
Sounds gay lol
Saves me trouble of goin to loot the place and kill anyone.
I just gotta shoot 1 or so wounded runners
Makes the game boring
It's much more enjoyable with fully fledged firefights, runnin around
chosing targets and looting
best way to play imo
sorry I didn't join for COD
lmao arma crowds lookin for a show are just as bad
I like actually playing to survive.
And that's the source of the poor in tarkov.
like I said. That's you.
Hmm wonder why...
is there any way to override the ingame resolution?
with the launcher resolution?
He is a Sherpa
@patent arrow if you have good aim best budget weapons that are not automatic are Hunter /Mosin/Adar/vepr
automatic that don't do well vs armor are mpx or those smg's with very low recoil
then once you have some traders level 2, you can go for ak-47n/m builds with budget for decent recoil auto wep +good ammo
SKS/Adar is what most ppl use atm
how do you actually pvp in this game
I can deal with scavs no problem
I always get killed from random angles and behind
Full send no balls
boy i sure love waiting 30 minutes for my health to regen because i cant afford meds only to die because i dont have any gear
Hello could you help me?
I dont get email with the verification code.
im waiting for the code 3 months and still can't play
please help me solve the problem
what domain is your email @dim rapids ?
@seznam.cz
my complete email is balatka.lukas@seznam.cz
i bought this game 1.5.2019
I am guessing you have checked spam/junk folder?
yes i checked it
OK you will need to email support@battlestategames.com for some assistance
after registration..... this email with verification code arrived.... but now.... nothink
i write them every day... no answer
do you have the 85k that it takes to post that?
also, you're putting that for 4k per bullet
why does it cost so much just to put an offer
'm not exactly a beginner, but I took a bit of a break. could use a group to get back into the swing of things
yeah everyone is selling those bullets for 4k +
good call lol, just saw that
@dim rapids have you opened a support ticket?
mΕ―ΕΎu se pouze pΕihlasit do fora..... ale na launcheru se nepΕihlΓ‘sΓm
English only here @dim rapids
srry
68/5000
I can only log into the forum ..... but I will not login to the launcher
i have good email.... and good pasword
@bold kernel just heal
Support tickets are not through the launcher, but the website
you dont need to wait
@split vapor he has no meds or money to buy any lol
i cant log to the website....
i'm new idk shit
Then you will need to email support like I said, they are the only options
scav fam
should i select the servers with low ping or should I check automatic server selection?
hello
I am new to this game and dont really know what is going on, how to play, controls or, what the obj is
@dim island hire a sherpa on the forums to guide you
So I've put together a list of tips and useful information for people who are either starting out on EFT or are just looking to refine their skills. Time Sta...
@dim island Watch that
thank you
Also start watching streams and watching tutorial/guide vids from Pestily, DeadlySlob, Markstrom and others.
Play offline mode to learn weapon handling and maps.
thank you
Pestily is okay, but don't follow him to heart.
My advise is patience is key. Watching streamers isnt everything, use the wiki and look up maps. Learn when to fire and when to hold shots. Know your surroundings and your paths you have to take. Know what paths other players take. Dying is the best experience and only way to truly analyze your situations and improve.
Soon you won't die at allπ€· usually a teacher would help with expediting that
Won't die at all isn't exactly realistic.
Yes streamers are not everything but apparently Hose knows nothing based upon asking what the objective is.
At least streams and vids would show him what people do and if it's a good streamer they (and their chat) will answer questions and explain stuff.
He'll pick up some basics.
Obviously experience is huge and learning maps an such is vital.
I say wont die at all loosley
Not 100% fact you won't lol. Dont take it literally
My idea of not dying at all is like 50%+ survivea rate
can i still insure my weapons and throw them in a bush ?
Yes
how long does it take?
theres no way someone found my ak in that bush and its been a while
24-36 real world hours
Why?
Why what?
ah okay so i still have some time
Pay money to insure ak then trow in a bush
i kill someone with it, throw it in a bush and take their weapon
I[m guessing he thought he was going to die so dumped it so they wouldn't get it
thats how i do it
Oh
and then i die every game with their gun lol
Makes sense
Message a mod
so I watched te vid
I am still a bit confused on what the objective of what is supposed to do is
I am still a bit confused on what the objective of the game is*
Can someone help me? What am I doing wrong? 
Do quests. Too
Traders have tasks. First 2 are with Prapor and Therapist. Go in. Kill stuff. Loot. Work on tasks, get out. Sell stuff or keep it if collecting for tasks. Buy more meds/ammo. Do it again
He's sold out @tender path
Oh Thanks β€
Offer count = how many he has. You wanted 1 of zero
uh im not sure about that. i got that too. i just moved some stuffa round my inverntory and tehn it worked
thought it was a bug
how do I escape
ow boy
Have to get to the exfil area. Use internet maps to locate them.
Is there really no way at all to spot an exit? So far it feels like I need to do a lot of things around the game instead of in the game to be efficient (outside of firefights, which I'm also shit at)
holy sh this game is complicated
Not really. This is tarkov. It's a STEEP learning curve.
yea
No hand holding
I come from insurgency
well hold on a steep learning curve is different from a lack of information
Commit or quit. Only options
@dim island I recommend getting someone to do a run with you instead of asking questions without any context
ok
otherwise you're going to be so front loaded that none of the info will make sense
I would offer but I've got to go shopping if you're still on around 8:30 est I can
yea
just advertise in looking for groups that you are a new play looking for help learning the ropes
I am about to full wipe my pc so I will be back prob
I have a question gamers is the bunker extract on reserv scav only or can pmc go there as well i cant find the answer any wear
Bunker hermetic door?
If you're speaking about that one I am pretty sure pmcs can also extract through there
They can
does anybody want to group up?
??
go to work ryan
@split vapor nerd
^
β€ @bold kernel
When are we playing nerd
Shoot doesnt even play
Can I store keys in my alpha container and use them in a raid?
Yes.
im literally playing rn you idiot
You can store anything in your container, only thing not possible is other containers/weapons
Nice! Will they stay in the alpha container after I use them or drop in my general inventory?
They stay.
Any item in your container will not be lost upon death
yes
That's cool. Thank you!
@split vapor 
so anybody want to group up?
Hopefully from the group troll

what even is a sherpa player
dunno
free gear
someone who shows new people the ropes, a guide
.... and how would you even know the difference
is it a smart idea to level up with scav first before i hop into a raid on my pmc?
or is xp for scav and pmc not shared?
nope
Can someone help me I've clicked the checkmark in rules and done everything in the setup section and I still dont ahve pmc tags and cant see anything
Message a Mod
Looks fixed lul
is there a way to sit in an extractiong zone without extracting?
In it...No. Near it...Yes

However Exfil camping is one of the worst scum I hope u get dysentery moves you can make
im at 10 minutes in queue for customs Pogchamp
oh boy finally found a match can i hit 11 before the loot loads
yes i can
12 minutes pogchamps
12 fucking minutes to get into a game died in 30 seconds
what goes into the generator?
Fuel
what kind of fuel
and where do you get the fuel from
do i buy it from someone or what
find them
gooood
where do they spawn?
or buy a full one from flea
any idea where they spawn?
ive got mine frim IC
Yea I've found mine on Interchange...saw DeadlySlob pull some from Mil base too
but the Expex fuel is only 35k on m
ok ty
but people do sell empty ones becareful
oh man i killed a dude name Kontaro with a single shot to the head with my sks he never saw it coming
and make you inspect each
i feel so bad because he was only level 5 and he had so much sweet loot
Jaeger does sell the Metal Fuel tank at some level
the only thing i dislike about .12 is the fact that i have to wait to heal or use meds between games of 'being shot in the face after 12 minutes of loading simulator 2k19'
its 10k, its not like they made it impossible man
I need help knowing what to sell in my stash, I have only been on 15-20 raids half of which were scav and need to know what to do with all the stuff I got. My primary problem is that, I was told you can get more money for guns by disassembling them first and selling parts but don't have any space in my stash to do that xD
Pm me if you can help, I can send pictures of my stash
check the wiki for quest items to keep, i think there is a pic in the main quest area (may be outdated). keep guns and gear that you will use but can't buy
cheap stuff like most mags you can sell and buy when needed
if you have gear for 10+ raids probably sell some
stack backpacks btw
oh right i forgot backpack stacking was a thing
I'm posting a picture in screenshots of the ammo and ak's I have, just want to know what of the ammo I can't or shouldn't use or can just buy later, and what of the ak's are too low tier or that aren't worth the space they take up and I should just sell to hold other items in stash
I want mostly damage
Ah ok
Well, you at least want ammo that gets over the global pen modifier or wtv
veritas has a good vid on amunition last I checked
goes over the various stats and such
Ill look for it, I was going to post the picture but I dont have roles so it wont let me
I checked the setup but cant get roles from it i dont think
Massive thanks to NoFoodAfterMidnight for the huge amount of information and help making this video. He really is one of the biggest unsung heroes in the Tar...
mainly armor, but it has some bullet values as well
no more barters?
i havent bought anything from her
what does the green name and icon in the lobby mean? never seen that before
What do the question marks mean next to an extract point?
@edgy blade it means you might be able to extract there. It can be open or closed
Okay thank you
Anyone know anything about the new Interchange Extracts?
same extracts new names
Emercom and Railway Station? Are they new locations or just renamed?
ah okay, so Railway is probably SE and Emercom NW?
just to mess with people i guess
Does anyone know how to get the ice pick?
Doesnt even look like its in the game
Cant find it under melee
rare
can any experienced players help me out with inventory management?
looking to get some help on a raid. Can anyone lend a hand?
Yo, seriously, how do you do ANYTHING in this game?
If I don't die 6 seconds into the game, I go to evac and there's PMCs camping the extract every SINGLE time.
yeah its tough
And where can I buy armor pre flea market? I don't see any on the traders.
need to be lvl 5
=\
the best thing i can say is to do scav runs
kinda helps with loot, but there's this long cooldown if you die, that the only bad side
theres a cooldown even if u dont die tho
this update annoys
I've been doing scav runs but the 20 minute timer is killing me.
even when you die as a pmc you gotta wait to heal
Apparently you can reduce that timer in the hideout but I can't use flea market so I can't even get half the stuff.
its like im playing a mobile game
true but that does use up resources and money. money that i do want tot use for raids
Yeah that's the one thing I can say I like. Every scav I run seems to have cheese and I can use it to heal the PMC out of game.
alternate pmc and scav, won't need to wait for either
I think the devs are working on the hideout
is Dan Jackiel a quest item or something? Or just an expensive booze?
depends on the place
currently joining woods
before 0.12, almost every maps took 3 minutes
now it takes above 5 minutes
yeah its because the servers were more dead
now that everyones on again its hell
we gotta wait for people to ragequit
more people = longer matchmaking?
limited serverspace
damn
mhm
but hey look on the bright side, MW, Outer worlds, LoL's URF gamemode, lots of stuff going on rn
my friends bought EFT, so we are trying to play together
annd, matchmaking takes long
when i try to open the BSG launcher i get this message, any help
Did you try obtaining a new copy of the game?
llike buying a different version? i've tried reinstalling to no avail
Should try support channel or contacting BSG support then.
Why do I see a lot of people hip firing during a fight?
no scoping is very accurate and it skips ads time
also you dont see the muzzle flash all up in your screen
ahh okay. It didn't look like they even had crosshairs or anything so do you think they are just blind hip firing?
well it shoots in the center of your screen i believe
cool, thanks! I'll have to practice hip firing now.
Seriously =\ Start as scav and get PMC killed within 8 seconds. Why even spawn me there?
I like this game a lot but it also makes me want to kill myself.
Uh, also, I'm trying to trade knives for the mp5. Am I doing something wrong? It says I'm trying to trade 0?
how do i cancel the sks bullet by bullet reload
double click fire button
fuuuuuuuck
i just sat there reloading like an idiot as a dude axed my face in
very upset about that
and trading is a bit bugged right now i think, bunch of things i cant buy
yeah, that used to happen to me with shotguns
this is why i don't use anything i can't afford because i'm level 6
scavs drop it.
if i had a vepr i would use it
more so than a sks.
@sly cobalt Ppl hip firing also tend to favour drum mag weapons... More time to spray and adjust... With the right bullet all you need is hits. not accuracy
scavs drop mostly shotguns in my experience
I can't even think of anything I've bought from a trader yet... just selling to make space...
Scav runs and a few pistol pmc runs has gotten me a solid little supply of rifles.
i don't even know how that's possible ngl
4 raids
Dead* Ppl give me stuff... I recognize a few attachments I can easily take and add on to random stuff I find... it continues to collect. I get maybe 3-5 kills on a busy raid.
idk why but seeing an EoD kill me is way more infuriating than seeing a normal person kill me
christ no wonder i'm not doing so hot, this is the competition i'm up against
like you spent $120 on this game why the fuck i gotta be the one to get fucked over by it
no but theyre always better
cause they enjoy the game
Well, I wouldn't sink that much money in a game I wasn't good at.
its like theyre all no-lifing the game and im so fuckin angry about it because i can never win against them
Too much money x_x Even if the game is super sweet.
9/10 times im killed its by an EoD
and theyre either rubbing their twitch stream in my face or that stupid crown
just rubs salt into the bleeding wound
Well I'm happy to give tips to deal with the challenge of having a smaller stash.
im just stuffing all my shit in bags atm because i dont have any containers from christmas or whatever the fuck
It's easy to manage your stash when you have nothing
I'd say sell anything that isn't immediately useful or a future raid kit up to a limit.
Try having nothing.
i have almost nothing
You always have your scav.
o_o Maybe in 18 minutes . . .
even a naked pmc is an option.
me and a buddy did a hatchet run into factory and melee two scavs and used their gear.
it feels like as a new player you're up against a population of people who have sunk thousands of hours into the game, have probably sunk dozens of hours into this patch and have all the high level gear unlocked and the cash to use it, and you just have very little chance against
That sounds correct?
And also true of every game you come to after it's been out for like 5 years or whatever.
Like I've never played fortnite. If I go play fortnite I'll probably spend at least a few weeks getting carved to pieces every match.
imo their gear doesn't matter too much, i doubt people are running around in lvl 5-6 armor yet. even then you can get cheap guns that can pen it.
Yeah I think the skill gap is the real trouble.
agreed
mmh but why tarkov is different is that you can jump into a fortnite match pretty easily and get better just by grinding at it. tarkov it's actually extremely difficult to practice pvp because at low gear every fight is over very quickly, most of the time it's your lack of situational awareness that lets guys hit you from a distance you would never see coming, and it's just generally hard to train a lot of these skills due to how the game is structured
Is it normal to sit at the matching screen for 10+ minutes?
like i understand that i'm being outplayed 9.5/10 but it's just difficult to actually learn how to outplay others
@sly cobalt depending on the map yes
It's customs. Okay just making sure, thought it might be bugged out.
oh well
Check out breach and clear tactics and such. Simple things like that and good use of cover can make you a pain to kill.
Customs is taking me maybe 4 minutes as scav and a lot longer as PMC
I haven't gotten into customs with pmc all day. soo...
i can't get a match on woods mostly, i've been in customs a couple times as pmc
so
i think something is wrong there
Quests. I'm still stuck on the first one. Got one scav kill and one shotgun.
I'm also level 3 and not having flea market is infuriating.
god i hate the early level quests
sometimes i get into customs in a few min, other times i can't at all.
me and my friends quit cuz of matchmaking
it took like 10 minutes and still couldnt get in
Just got in PMC customs after 4 minutes, shortest I've had all day.
Where's a good place to find maps with extract points labeled online? I find all kinds of maps when I google, and I'm not sure which are correct
I use maps from wiki. I don't know how up to date they are.
the wiki has good ones i think
How the hell do you survive the scav onslaught on factory? I was the last in the map and couln't even leave. 11 kills until I died
thanks, I'll try and use the maps on the wiki
There are plenty of resources pinned for this channel as well
Thing is with tarkov the gear isnt the biggest problem, if you have the map knowledge and audio knowledge and skills...you can usually win against other players, if not win. at least know how to pick engagements.
What you said about fortnight royal mode gaining skills through grinding, true. With fortnight you can just go REEE DURRRRR HUUU BRRR and grind and then do decent. With tarkov the moment you think about doing that...you die.
with fortnight, there is ONLY the option of trying a gunfight. However against those "OP" players with "OP" gear...have you tried maybe not engaging? understanding their positions? and stalking them gearing up on their leftovers and extracting while taking engagements you can afford? Because that is an option that is in tarkov you can use. The goal is to survive, not be chicken dinner or some sht, tarkov is not a BR game. Stop playing it like one all the time.
noobie here. Any tips before i get smoked and lose all my stuffs? haha
Learn the maps, thats 80% of tarkov
i played a little before the wipe, but i died constantly. any tips for a map i should start with? Factory says its the easiest, right?
erm....yes it is easierst kinda
customs or shoreline are prob easiest to start on
People have recommended customs to me every time I asked. There's a bottleneck in the map though where you have to go pretty close to gas station.
If you spawn on the west side, anyway.
you can go wide around gas station through the woods
Plenty of space up hill behind resort.
I guess you can. I thought they made it so you had to go up to the station.
I'm very new, sorry x_X
To get up to Resort
basically any direction you can get there
theres a front and rear "main" way up
and both sides have ways up
how do i join a LFG channel
scroll down and find one
errm. shoreline you can cross the map at gas station, power station, or several places near resort. customs you can cross at gas station or go above it through the woods. or if you have the key you can almost ignore all that.
there is a skip to jump the wall without needing the key
do you need a certain level strength for that?
cool, i'll check that out
so are extractions random and doesn't tell you where, i have ran three raids and pressing O doesn't show me extractions and looking at maps and going to those extractions i can't get out
Check your key binds, may need to double tap o. Extracts are usually the ones on the other side of the map from where you spawn. And they did rename some in .12
A good method I saw was bind 2nd O key to release...that works wonders for me now
what do yall think about if they added stripper clips for the sks to make loading faster
@shadow panther double tap "o"
Already planned @bold kernel
I cant sell anything on the flee market add in a price but cant "place" my offer. What am I doing wrong?
@void cloak do you have enough money to pay for flea fee?
Or maybe listed the max amount of items?
I do now hahaha i hid my money in a wallet in my gamma. im disabled
Lol, I miss being confused by things like that, makes the game so much more overwhelming π
Does the MP-133 for the first Prapor quest need to be found in- raid?
are people online rn? im having issues with launcher
@deep violet no
also is there a bug going around where you just take damage and nothing is happening?
sounds like lag
no it wasnt lag. its happened ALOT. no gunshots. no enemy in my los. I just stand in a spot, my guy grunts and takes damage, i move away, it stops, i go back to the spot and then die
happened on Reserve, thought it might be some sort of....environmental thing idk. but it just happened on factory when i was in the cubby hole in lockeres
try support..
Ok, just died. Without being shot at, no one stabbed me. I was fully with water / nutrient stuff. Only had one blacked arm, nothing else.
Took permanently hefty damage in kinda like...pulses?
Anyone know what the heck actually killed me?
^^^
Heard reports of invisible scavs.............
i see alot of people running 74m rn
the invisible scavs is a thing just got killed by an invisible one
lol
Anyone wanna play?
@torpid wraith in the last wipe at least there was a bug where every scab and player on the map would be visually frozen on their spawn but would move around, you just start taking damage and die, if you notice it run to a safe spot alt f4 and re launch it should fix it if you are lucky enough to be alive
Itβs really rare though maybe only happening 4 or 5 times in my 200 hrs
at the moment its taking me over 6 mins to get past the "loading loot" stage, then im loosing server connection, can anyone offer any advice or help pleae
What map are you doing
Can you turn on and off night vision scopes?
I got a prapor one with 15k based on what someone told me
And what is your ram
@torpid valve I donβt know about that one but if itβs helmet mounted press n
Wait you said scopes no I donβt theink there is but you can try alt+right click
so, ive tried it on most maps as scav and pmc, ive got 16gb ram
Iβm not sure maybe try to avoid customs for a while due to the servers being over loaded there
atm im trying anything just to have a game, im trying as pmc and scav on woods, shoreline, factory and customs just to try and get in, but its having non of it
Other than that Iβm not sure what you can do, ram is a factor in load times but with 16 you should be fine
Has it worked at all?
but ive progressed to lvl2 by examining items so far
ive not had a match since .12 started
Try using the support chat
fair enough, thank you. i was just wondering if i was being silly
which items does generator use as guel?
fuel can
the blue one
there is a grey/silver one. blue 50 units. grey 100
oh
Is there a way to keep my ads speed for all of my scope "x"es the same? like when I go from iron sights to 4x scope
I think the best you can do is adjust ergonomics.
damn
Anyone have low FPS in interchange Map ?
Anyone else getting the stutters?
apart from one ghost scav kill it's playing fine past few raids
I put something up for sale for a bad price by mistake, I know if I take it down early I lose a lot of rep, if I let it expire do I lose less?
Completely new to tarkov, was watching streams and youtube videos, but i'm still on the fence.. Is there still free trial keys? Would love to get a taste before I purchase π
hey guys if i insure an item and nobody take it on the raid its return to me right? is there a time limit in which i must take it back or can i take it whenever i want to?
Alpha get some armor itβs going to boost survivability and change angles
You get it back between 24-36 hrs
And after that you have 3 days to claim it
No problem
gettin armor is pretty easy
ive been running class 4 and 5 already
if you need gear do scav runs and just scavenge
don't kill other scavs when on scav runs
Guys Where can i find 60 Rounders in Woods
Can shoreline compete with interchange runs if you have no keys for either?
@bold kernel in bunkers in crates. or players
@patent arrow yes I think. it has keys that can be found on the same map.
@crystal reef I haven't heard of any trials. the game it self is early access...
surpressed smo[er scav
but i got one shotted in the thorax lol
in factory π π π π
and you had no armor?
no surpressed shit in there fella
people run surpressed in factoryy all the time...
Same bug as Jasp
there was no gun shot and no body about literally 4 mins left in raid π ghost scav strikes again lol
6 scav runs in factory later, died the same exact way
