does it always come every map?
yeah
still stuck on that fucking shoot out picnic
did they do another update because queue times are insane again
Any newer-ish players wanna group here in awhile? Gotta take our daughter trick or treating lol
is there like a picture of whats best to sell to each trader so i dont have to watch a 15 minute video
To who ever pays the most for each
oh ok
therapist>skier>mechanic/prapor>fence takes anything else
ive been disassembling weapons and selling parts to skier and the red gun to prapor i think thats how u max ur profit
Mechanic for guns, skier for attachments, therapist for rares
Does anyone know what the bottle of jack whiskey is for?
drinking
ok so no quest thanks
Is the "Reset the game profile" button the one I hit on the EFT profile page to reset my stash n stuff?
Not that I'm aware of (lvl 27 so far)
yes
On the website you reset your data
reset your profile is the option to reset your stash to the start of when you first bought the game
right, but if you lost everythinng.....not a bad idea
but you cant rest until the 17th anyways
Any one lfg beginner for customs ?
im doing prapor pocket watch quest and ive gotten the watch 3 times and its not done
so turn it in
wont let me
must not have it then
ill go again maybe itll work the 4th time
well is it in your quest stash
anyone know a decent way to farm roubles?..pm me pls
i mean if you have time you can invest in a pistol and run factory in and out killing scavs for their guns then sell them
Are you on EU @gritty hare ?
Anyone wanna show a newbie the ropes in tarkov? I'm on Eu 
im on us
@tender void Wanna team up? As long as the connection to us woudn't be too bad for me
try..pressing 2 or something on amount ,and see
i cant its stuck on 1
wierd
I think it’s sold out, just doesn’t look like it is
I'll be in VC duo golf
relog into tarkov and try again.@drowsy rampart
@bold kernel i did still have error
it does that for me on tons of stuff
whats best pistol?
supressed maybe.. just so the shot you take might be worth more then one shot.
pistol rounds take alot of shots unless u get the head.
To that affect I found APS nice
define best
i like glock 17, add the green iron sights and i can hit things quite well
Is there a AR i can but and put on good sights without the need of a flea market? Thats also on budget?
is the keytool worth dropping the money on it?
if you have level 1 traders you need to barter for one that you can put a sight on. and keytool is very useful
M9 is pretty nice
I have spent alot of money making jy adar look like an m4
@lapis mauve which one is the one i need to barter for?
Anybody getting stuck at the matching screen right now?
prapor barter trades for PSO for two spark plugs @drowsy rampart
ok ty
@drowsy rampart AKM, ADAR, vepr 136
double thanks 🙂
akm and vepr need a gas tube from skier, the one with rails
imo its better to find or buy something with a dovetail mount to put a pso or cobra on
Excuse me, is there anyone know how to use the stash in Hideout?
or that is something can't be used?
It's the same stash you have in menu...
try fitting it in a 10*20 lol
So
As a newbie, who wants to go intoo a raid geared up to loot and leave, what should I aim for gear wise?
nothing
depends on what you can afford really
what determines the fee to list an item on flea market, some item fees are quite a massive chunk of the total value
anyone beat the jeager quest where you have to stash stuff away in the woods bunkers
if you put up an item too high or too low the fee is more
i see, thanks
Damn, you lose the access card for labs when you enter even if its in your Alpha container, newbie tip lol
Paid $140,000 to get my shit rocked
yes, the card to enter is single use
Its a darn shame lol went in there with my buddy both had m9s, immediately got rocked by a dude fully armored up who we emptied our clips into, went back to our characters, noticed the keycard was gone lol
for operation aquarius i already found the room, so can i just join customs games and rush the exit to complete it
theres a check mark for find the room so i think i have credit for it
Yup
How do I improve my metabolism skill? by eating and drinking? Will it works when there
*they are all full
how do i get different clothing
level up your level and trader levels to get clothing from the Service tab in Ragman
is there a way to avoid spending 20k every time i die healing my character
im gonna be broke soon
ai-2 costs about 10k to fully heal. also do a scav run between pms raids when you die
then there is no cost
does a scav run give my character enough time to full heal?
if you dont die right away then usually
ty ill try that
that's what i've been doing, really nice since i'm poor atm
is there a way to increase move speed in offline mode thats not bannable? to learn maps faster
should we tell him about ping exploiting
lol
what time does the train come on reserv
Roughly at 20 minutes left
Hey everyone! Here's the official ammo chart BUT with colors and sortable tabs. If you like it, shoot it an upvote and I'll continue to update it with features! Thanks 
anyone wanna play with a nub?
if im playing scav, how do i know who players are and who scavs are? or is it just shoot on site pretty much? cause thats the vibe im getting
pretty easy to tell an ai scav based on how they move/aim, and where you find them
and the gear they have on
what keys do you recommend for shoreline?
@naive jolt you still up?
Is it possible to list up gamma containers in flea market?
Haven't tested if it changed but there was a certain way to put them up yes.
sry if this is not the right place for this question: i looked up alot of videos, streams, reviews and all the other stuff about tarkov, and i realy wanna get the game, but some thoughts and posts holding me back, while on the other hand im realy getting excited from the concept, should i get Tarkov or wait a bit longer for it?
i Just got the game before patch. I been watching it since I seen summit1G playing I regret not getting it sooner. just my opinion though. I stopped all other games damn near
@bold kernel
@bold kernel what thoughts what posts
regarding the skier flash drive quest, do I need to find them in raid or can I buy them off the flea market ?
@agile gulch It should say on the task in raid I believe if it's required. they sell on market so I think it's ok?
could try the wiki also
@normal bear saw some posts on reddit with some negetive replys, like problems with launcher, DCs loading screen stuck, specialy since the last patch, but i so a video on youtube which hyped me alot. so know im in a dilema
@bold kernel The development is on going. So wipes and bugs are to be expected. The game really favours the hardcore patience crowd.
@bold kernel these were mostly server issues related to a fuckton of people playing in this wipe
they have been resolved
Well it's settled down alot anyway.
how to work on strenght skill without throwing million grenades?
am i the only one that doesnt enjoy the 20 min cooldown on scavs
everyone does :x need to upgrade ur hideout for it ro shorten i think
i know i have to find certain items and spend some money
but right now i cant do nothin g
Don't mind it at all.
@eager arrow If you have a gamma it's nice to take a kiba ammo box and fill it with shotgun shells or various ammo and you'll almost always be over weight and strength training. It'll also keep you constantly slightly slower due to encumberment.
@bold kernel only gamma container? i have beta
Well if your that far along and you don't mind filling it sure.
newer players I meet struggle financially so they tend to keep it empty to load up on what little they can.
ammo container is incompatible
what... brb
they nerfed?
well shit
I barely built strength as it was using that...
welp. I guess the lab farmers with their grenade spam gonna dominate.
labs are dog rn
Have they fixed window borderless yet?
i have no idea how to play and ive had this game for over a year and a half now
anyone wanna help
I guess commands are out. There is a sherpa program for getting a guide in the game on the website.
If you go through the setup page you can access the #pvp-lfg
What is the next map after customs for beginners
Interchange for looting hangout and task resources.
Anyone who can support me at Woods?
Is there any gas analyzer spawns in shoreline? I'd like to change maps for a bit but would like to keep progressing in that quest
@lone tartan They have a chance to spawn in filing cabinets
so any map has a chance.
@bold kernel you can't put ammo cases in ur container anymore
@eager arrow @bold kernel if you get crowbars and some friends and meds you can hit each other in the legs and heal through it, that gives health skill, strength skill and stress resistance.
you get about a level every 20 mins or something pestily said
how do i prolong my own life? im aware this question is really fucking dumb but i cant seem to stay alive long enough to loot the people i kill. just a game ago i dropped 2 scavs and then waited for a third, after i heard or saw nothing i start running over to the second body i dropped. then i hear the third scav roll up and i start panicking and i fumble the ADAR from the corpse, after that i tried to drop the third scav with my pistol because i couldn't switch to the ADAR. And he one taps me. it happens every other game or so and i dont even get kills the other games. the only way i can seem to get anything while preserving my gear is to run through just about every raid. any advide would be really appreciated
what maps are you running @empty owl
alot of its just getting better in general honestly
currently its mostly customs because i want to get those tasks done
i know, i had to wait 20 minutes for a game last night
im level 17 and i have steered clear of customs this wipe
like its really hard to do quests there right now
im level one but this has persisted since like before the Christmas thing last year. the only way im able to get any profit is to let my cracked friend carry me
and i dont want him to carry me
cracked?
super good
is this a good weapon? i just got it from a random crate and idk what to do with it
Yes
vals are only good if you have good ammo
Is there a list of what each hideout update does?
@empty owl you just have to figure that out for yourself
i can't tell you how to play the game
you have to learn that
Vals suck a ranged combat so use it at factory
Ye
but you do need expensive ammo if you want them to actually do stuff
and bigger mags since the firerate is so fucking high
Are they keys for shorline and customs dorms etc multiple use keys AND is a documents case the best way to carry them?
Understood, and do those kinds of keys have unlimited use?
Okay awesome thank you, where is durability located in the icon?
Ah okay, thank you very much
thats how many uses left
documents cases are better for labs tho
since you can't put the different keycards in a keybar
@edgy blade if you think your gonna find cash or something like that bring a documents case so that you can just put it in there
Okay awesome, thank you very much for the tips
would anybody mind selling me a beta?
I should be peacekeeper 4 after my current raid then sure 😄
can i buy one from you to 😄
heck yea my boy @sinful quartz
send me a PM so i wont forget
will do
@sinful quartz can you hook me up too?
send me pm
What do you guys think of the VEPR vs the SKS as a good starter PMC weapon, and also is there any where to purchase 7.62 M80 rounds anywhere but the flea market?
Okay cool thanks for the tip
Okay awesome thank you, also what exactly is the icon before the amount of money spent when leveling up a trader? It looks like a graph
Little bar graph with an arrow going up
And also which variation of the VEPR, cause Im looking for it on the flea market since the only one available is only by tradable horses, so im looking at the VEPR Km, Vepr AKM, and VEPR hunter
And oh okay thank you very much, tasks always slip my mind
vepr KM
Okay cool, and the best place to get that would be the flea market?
vepr and akm only difference is that akm is semi and full
but full is p bad to control
Hunter yeah its .308 but no suppressor and its accuracy stat is trash
Gotcha, yeah looking on the market the Vepr KM with no buttstock goes for about 25k or so
skier sells a stock if do get one without
Yeah skiers stock one is only tradable with 3 horse statues
Oh im sorry i misread that, my apologies. I see that now!
Vepr AKM is .366, either get the KM or Hunter
whatts the best way to grind out xp without going to labs?
aight thanks
I have an odd question about reacting to firefights. How do you guys keep your cool? I freak out and panic most times I see someone or a shot cracks past me.
Oddly enough in Battlefield 3, I'm a cold calculating killing machine. It makes no sense why I can't chill in tarkov
that sets the longer you play
That makes sense it's just odd losing my nerve when I never do in other shooters. Practice makes perfect after all
well, in bf3 you don't lose everything you got on you when dying
☝
It's the threat of slipping back down the progress slide that gets those palms sweaty.
It’s is free bitcoins
Any idea on how fast they generate?
Understood !
Hiya abit new but do maps have any use?
Can someone tell me why the AN/PEQ-15 has 2 red lasers? one looks slightly brighter than the other but I don't see the use
@bold kernel No, absolutely none you can just google the maps
ay copy thx
@split vaporthere is an accuracy difference between v and akm btw
Also opsks is selling for like 37k on makret and vepr is 22k
havent updated the chart to reflect that
if i loot a crate and there's loot inside, but it is on the right side of the inventory rather than the top left, does that mean someone else has been there
Okay Thanks !
And yes if the loot isn’t in the top left someone has already been there
thanks sir
Thanks guy I appericate it ! (sorry about my spelling lol)
marked key is only worth on flea for about a week until everyone has one and the price drops
Should i do a hatchet run with it or geared?
Although they won’t go down as much because of the durability
Everyone will go through them and want another one
Do geared
Okay !
always smart to take a pistol or somethin somethin to yeet a scav
Hatchet running is kinda useless this wipe
Anyone know why mechanics GunSmith part 4 isnt letting me complete it? I have built the gun to the specs he asks for
Same as the wiki states too
well check what stats you have on the weapon against the stats of the weapon the quest stats in game
no? okay then
I was 2 off with ergo 😂
find a new vfg
Do you guys buy quest items if you can to finish them quicker? Like the 3M body armors
if they are cheap enough or you have money to dump
I see. What do you guys do with dogtags? mostly sell or trade?
good thanks
buck is easier to nail a scav in the head at 10m away over a slug
any recommendation on which dealers to level up first?
all
sweet, ty!
does 'hold breath' work on nonsnipers
thanks i figured it out, had binding wrong
i see in the wiki some red dot sights have different reticles, what's the default key to switch between them?
alt right click
ty
whats a good map for people who dont know their way around
what's this dynamic extracts thing I heard about? Is that only on the new map or all of them? I feel like I always get the same extracts depending on where I spawn in Customs
because customs only has two spawn sides one side gets one set and vice versa
only the train on mil base is dynamic
ah
is there any default keybinds that are bind to control?
ctrl + t checks chamber
how do i start tarkov if i never played before? just run in with a gun some where?
whats some good keybinds to set
yo imm modding my vepr. which ammo is best to use with it?
vpo-206 is useless
why?
can anyone get me a pic of the akm for gunsmith part 8?
and pretty shit one at best
.366 is a 9.5x39mm shotgun round
is it possible to play with people without using a mike?
yea because i kinda feel i will be judged if i do use my mike
how can i get a handle at the front as well under the barrel?
@weary bobcat thats what you want
WOW
get the prapor ak100 series handguard it has a fg rail
kk ty
granted with that youll need to put back the stock gas tube
@split vapor whats the name of the actual handgrip at the front of that vepr?
for mine?
ye
B-10M foregrip
ty sir
Oof using b10 and b33
go away yer bitch
go back to work before you get fired again
plus its free so yeah
ill use them
yikers
1p59 is literally the most busted scope in game btw
For 17k roubles on market
It's a pso but 5x better
@split vapor man i dont get it. i cant install the front handguard i always get conflicting messages about one or the other mod not being compatible with gas tube cover- and the front end
You have to remove the gas tube because it comes with one
hit me up with 1million??
It's not just a handguard
If you're talking about b10
The ultimak is also a gas tube + handguard combo
The caa , ak100, moe handguard go on the akm gastube
On a bastion dustcover...
Flea market is buggy.
Sometimes it doesn't load everything and you gotta go back in
Remove the iron sight to install btw.
remove the rear sight
🙆
ryan go to work before you get fired again
oof
Can I incrase my stash? Through the hideout I guess?
yup
to the same size like the others, who bought a bigger one
how about the container?
Hey guys how do I get an optic on the AKM?
How many uses does the augmentin pills have?
@mortal dagger 1. they show a number on other items
aight
@dark portal try using link search to learn compatible parts for it.
@urban silo New containers can be bought from higher lvl merchants.
ok ty, so there is no real advantge of buying the pricier one
The pricier one has season pass for dlc. Which drives up the value at the least 50$.
Rest going towards conveniences such as gamma, large stash, and .20 trader rep off the bat
So basically you dont have to quest for lvl 2 traders 🤷
@urban silo
Yeah thats fine I can grind these
Yes. You can.
what does the hand drill do?
Just dont ignore the season pass portion which is wat you really pay for.
The rest is conveniences
What weapons at Level 1's would be extremely unlikely to be picked up and extracted (looking for insurance purposes)? I'm on a tight budget, and naturally am failing most raids. I do not have access to the flee market yet.
What does the crown mean?
they payed for the best edition
@desert python veprkm, pp19, mosin, aks74u
@desert python pistols get dumped for better loot, I think there is a vepr or aks also. You could also try just goin in with hatchet. Practice in offline mode to make fighting at least scavs easier.
They have the least probability over other guns. Pistols are easily yoinked
Sks too but people usually fit it in bag pretty easily
Hi guys, did the 3 week reset rule change on wipe with this patch?
doesn't seem like it
Spend them.
dunno if you can put them on market still
Hey guys, how can I advance with the skier quests, "What's on the flash drive" seems to be really hard to do and now I am stuck with skier level 1 😦
Do the given tasks??
check every computer you can. or grind money and buy them (if it doesnt say find in raid)
500k each 😦
oh, ok
it can be a pain to do
1 million
eh, once you get lvl 3-4 skier you can make more than that reselling things
ugh im so pissed
tarkov will not give me a break
i keep getting tapped
last 10 raids
first fight
i got 1 tapped
how to fix
GiT gUD
shturman is the woods boss right?
@ripe mountain I tried to be more defensive on the start of a raid. So don't rush but stay back a bit and look / hear how the situation evolves
Helped me so far
do we know where they patrol yet
the actual lumber yard and the surrounding area
uhh
but roger. thank you. going in hot boys
im a goin
shrut mainly double or triple taps his svd at you
i just expected him to patrol the edges of the tank field or scope shack area
and his guard with the hunter does the same
Just don’t get shot
Whats the best cheap starter helmet to use so I don't get insta clapped?
None, honestly
most helmets you still basically be one tapped in, unless its a lucky ricochet
just use the peanut helmet
richochet chance is really only reason I wear a helmet. saves me once in a while.
Isn't the green penis head looking helment basically the lowest you would want to go
The cheaper ones obstruct sound
ssh-68 is actually really good. its cheap with good ricochet chance. anything below 5-6 will get penned anyways, and if not you need a faceshield anyways to stop anything from one tapping your face.
Ok so i found pocket watch for prapor hit pickup it made the sound of completing it but didnt give it to me and doesnt show i did it now. Glitch or?
you've got to turn it in to him
It didnt pick it up although it made the sounds otherwise i would of
did you die after you grabbed it
hey keatoh
whats up horse
Hit pickup went to put it in gamma and it wasnt anywhere in inventory.
Thanks.
if you hit tasks you can see your quest inv
Do we keep the gear/exp from offline raids?
@sly cobalt No, nothing you take out of an offline raid you keep, same goes for whatever you take into the raid you keep even if you die but thats only offline, online you lose everything
You dont gain xp either from offline raids
eventhough it shows
thanks. I've had it since i think either or 0.10 but i couldnt really run it properly without it studdering but i put it on my ssd a few days ago and now im loving learning about the game and trying to learn new ways to improve and get better at the gaem
game*
Is there another way to get the gamma secure container ingame? or can I only get it by buying the EoD package?
Some people sell theirs but very rarely
You can get kappa epsilon and beta in game tho
Kappa and epsilon through quests
And fence sells beta sometimes. And maybe PK but I don’t know
alright thanks
Who buys AVS? Cant sell to anyone but Fence. Is it because the durability is too low?
@golden brook Cool, thanks!
no problem JD
@narrow saddle Yeah the game has a really steep learning curve, if you need any questions answered just drop me a dm, even I dont know everything though xD
Fence is the only one that buys damaged armour
@ocean crag
But you can sell to Ragman or skier if the durability is high enough
i see. thanks! didnt want to waste $ fixing it only to sell it to fence anyway
I just got killed, and it just says early termination
no shooter
what usually causes that - if you bleed out instead of dying immediately to a shot?
Mainly the bad server connection lost, like where you cant reconnect and it just kills your character
hmmmm
..hm ponders if I read that right
I've also been having the "I killed 4 people, but none show up in list at end" bug
like all of my end game screens are innacurate
super annoying death, I thought I cleared the extract zone, was trying to extract in trailer park, got shot from behind
wanted to know if a sneaky player
or I managed to miss a scav
Why is the M4 regarded so highly (and cost so much) when the HK seems almost as good, if not better
and is way easier to find
Hk is kinda better
o_O but it cost so much less on the flea market
The main difference is that HK has a higher rof over the M4
I thought the rof was the m4's selling point
yeah but HK is higher
I am just starting the game, (bought the game just before the wipe) So far I (sort of ) learned the map in offline, what gear should I bring into my first pmc raid? (buy a mosin or just go pistol?) or should I do some scav runs first?
use the AK that you get
scav run is a good idea as well, then PMC after when scav is on cooldown
One message removed from a suspended account.
What map is easiest to do the kill 5 pmcs with pistols quest? Factory?
factory. just run up and shoot at the face. eventually gets done.
going pistol only as a beginner seems dumb imo
It can train you to aim for the head...
I recommend mosin, it usually doesnt matter much where you shoot most people. You can take fights at pretty much any range, its very ammo efficient and the sights are clean. Not to mention its quite cheap and if you end up fighting someone who outgears you they usually wont take it.
mosin is literally 33k roubles
look at the hunter
m80 is also a very effective round
m80 is best round
is there a way I can change the gas block of the m4a1 to something other than the front sight'
the reason pistols are suggested is because they can be incredibly cheap and a new player will probably die a lot. so they can afford to keep buying new guns. a cheap gun that shoots 7.62x54 or 7.62x51 is better but a bit more costly.
@dim island Mk 12 low profile gas block
thank you
you can also linked search the barrel
Some interchange maps i wiped up
here is the second one
Customisation so new players can choose their faction correctly
This is not my map, this one is really well done though so here is a Labs Map i have found
I do not recommend for new players to play labs.
You need to have a Labs Access Card on your PMC when you select The Labs map to get into it. The card will be consumed upon entering the raid.
Ahh right
where do you get a labs keycard?
No Chrispy
It was moved to Therapist LL4.
It's not uncommon for you to spawn with one as a player scav and they're very common to find as loot on bosses.
ans they got uncommon as hell in drawers
How to get Jaeger money spent up faster?
buy and sell back to him like with any trader
Or to save money buy things from him and sell them on the market at -1 rouble from the buy price. It takes longer but you retain much more money.
^ best thing to do that with are MP-133 shotguns
Custom Map for newbies
r e s h e l a
ahh finally
what do you guys think is a good and cheap starter weapon early wipe?
anyone wanna help me out? im struggling pretty bad. broke and getting crushed
vepr @gilded vigil
i think skier has them, but im not sure
tnx I'll check in a sec
I thought i'd be good at this like hunt...slow methodical play, but ive lost all of mymoney and never can seem to get the jump on anyone
@gilded vigil SKS with PS ammo, Prapor LL1
Hello Folks ;) i am completly new to EFT. i am searching for team players to show me basic tarkov gameplay. if down for this, send me a message. ill be online this sunday for some hatchet runs to get some money going. have a nice day, greets whippersnapper
Quick question: is there any way to increase the brightness for darker spots? I know you can/should use NVG for night raids but some darker spots at day are just almost pitch black for me
@ornate jacinth don’t bother messaging here. Just join a voice chat when you’re ready. There’ll be people there who will help you.
How do I know what my character's maximum carry weight is? I'm trying to raise my Strength skill.
drop it on the floor to fix @crisp coral
Sks is pretty doodoo
It's okay for the first shot, after that good luck. Not a good starter weapon imo
It says max weight at the bottom near health and other stats @glass ice
how long does it take to construct the shooting range module?
i saw the wiki and it says instant. But mine has a 1 hour time
@tiny thicket upgrades seem to take ~2 hours each. when ready install is instant.
okay so i looked at my friend's build requirements and it doesnt say it takes one hour but mine has. I haven't been able to build the thing. is this a bug?
Would like to know the ETA for tickets to be answered by BSG?
As soon as possible @deep quartz when did you submit it?
3 days ago, but talked with Mathieu about that issue on October 27th
It varies depending on the amount of tickets etc, bearing in mind the patch is still quite new, it could take longer than usual. Give it until Tuesday I'd say, if nothing by then feel free to message me and I'll chase it up
@rose echo Will do! Thank you for the info and help!
You're welcome man 
Did anyone do gunsmith part 10?
a bunch of gunsmith quests have bugs
a couple wiki logs are out of date for it I think.
I'm a complete beginner. Only did like 2 raids and 2 scav runs. Does it make sense to do an early extraction as PMC if I managed to kill someone and get some basic loot?
Or are there restrictions as to how early I can extract in the first place?
2 minutes or less = run-through
Yes. If you've killed someone and looted you will have enough XP for it not to be a run through. You don't have to stay in for entire length of raid.
only penalty for run through is less XP...and if it's a Task that requires "survive" then run through will not count.
Early on, dogtags are very important?
I saw I can trade them for backpacks and such
Several tasks require you to turn in dog tags (unless they reworked those for this wipe). They sell to therapist and also can be used for trades. I don't do many trades so don't remember what they trade for.
Hey guys, me and my buddy are pretty new to EFT and we are looking for some people to show us the ropes and roll deep with us. slide in my DMs if you're interested. Thank you.
To fill up metabolism skill do I have to wait to be thirsty or can I just chug down water all the time?
Need banner Market script Auto Purchase bot
One yes. Two wrong channel
This isn’t the place for that. I’d probably remove that before someone snags that email of yours. @dim rapids
What do you mean dying everytime?
I'm also getting railed every time, then again, I'm doing pistol only runs cause I'm afraid to invest my only automatic weapon...
Reloading from a gamma/alpha container is not possible right?
Early wipe can be brutal. Pistols can be effective but have to hit head shots
Well I brought 2 mags for my pistol and during the gunfight I had to reload
and it just didn't wanna pick my mag from my alpha
Can leave loose rounds in gamma and drag them to empty mag that is in vest/pockets and reload mag. R will not work to reload a mag unless mag is in vest or pockets
I had to do it manually
You can have a mag in the case, but you cant hit R and reload a mag from inside it
need to in the pockets or rig
@waxen forge ah I see, so upside is you don't risk an extra mag upon dying, downside is that you can't reload fast during combat if you bring loose rounds I guess?
loose rounds can be loaded into mags from secure in ur spare time
Correct. Many people bring loose rounds into raid. Last I ran I had 1 mag in weapon and 2 mags in vest. Loose rounds in gamma. When I emptied a mag and reloaded I then drag loose rounds to the empty mag and it fills mag 1 round at a time...leaving rest in gamma when mag is full
is there anyway I can get some help just starting out and getting gear?
@quasi lark I'm rather new aswell, and I feel like i'm starting to understand the game even though it was daunting at first. I recommend playing as scavanger a lot, so you get a feel for how shooting/looting and healing works without any real risks of losing stuff
and watch videos on how traders work on what to sell/buy/keep
@stone surge ok cool. thank you very much!
Daunting is quite accurate lol
Can also do offline raids. Ammo and meds u use won't actually be used and if you die you don't lose gear. EFT is all about patience and experience. Just have to grind to learn
does anyone want to help out a noob trying to learn the game and get started on the new wipe
just msg me
dont play woods lmao
You cant just delete trees
I'm EOD and I see trees
Is there a (cost) efficient way to heal outside of raid when you only need about 15-20HP on all limbs?
Just position better
Car medkits
guys is hideout fixed
I’m talking about customs
im trying to download first time 0.12
In between dorms and gas station
can i do hideout now
will anyone play/help out a noob player
@terse perch sure bro
thanks 🙂
anyone want to squad up? 🙂
Do you need a new labs keycard every time you wanna do lab raid? or is it needed just once?
Every time
@brisk mortar i cant see a looking for group
Terragroup Labs Access Keycard is a 1 time use item
@tropic turtle
You should be able to see them now.
oh ok thankyou
Anyone know where I can find a pack of screws?
Several places. Tunnel town on Shoreline. Ollie store in Interchange
Toolboxes, possible duffel bags.
can i find them in factory?
Search around in Oli, tool boxes and duffel bags
I would never recommend going to factory to loot. Yes you can get loot there but it's so hectic that you don't have time to be searching around.
Any other map would you recommend for a beginner? @waxen forge
Customs has a lot of first tasks. It's big enough to move around and small enough to get pvp. Also interchange because you can find a lot of the items needed for tasks and now for hideout upgrades.
I usually just run interchange with an m9, to get loot for my hideout
do i need the broken lcd later on or sell em?
Im not too sure, but I know you need working lcds
You can trade 4 for 1 working to mehanic.
That game is too overwhelming...
eh it can be for the first week to a new dude
Can someone help me pinpoint where I got shot from?
I got a pic of the time I got shot but I can't seem to figure out where the scav was
I guess
I might give it one week more maybe
Good luck. I'd hope for you to give it longer. EFT is a Hard game with a STEEP learning curve. I watched a lot of streams before I ever bought it and thought I knew what I was doing when I went in. I was still overwhelmed and didn't know 1/2 of what I thought I did.
You just have to put in the time. Experience is huge. Map knowledge, scav behavior, PMC behavior, what to loot and then what to keep/sell, when to fight, when to run. Takes time.
also realizing that there is a ton of lag and a ton of bs
What's the point of leveling actually?
not the in-game stamina level and whatnot, I mean actual charr level.
PMC level determines what level of vendor you can access, along with trader rep.
yep, which is the difference of buying from traders or paying 2-5x the price to buy from flea market. more sometiems
is the labs managers office key worth alot?
how much should i sell it for?
anyone can teach me how to play that would be great
@ripe mountain you could sell it for 900k but im not guaranteeing that it will sell
or it might insta sell idk
If the cheapest it goes for is 990K then post it for 989K and it should sell..
or do that yeah xD
Depending on how rich people are already
why is no one willing to teach new players
@golden brook can you private call me rq
It's not that nobody is willing. I'd post in #pvp-lfg ...keep in mind it's only been a week since wipe and Sunday and Monday almost don't count since the servers were on fire. I myself didn't really get much time to play during the week so Today is the most time I've had. Still trying to sort my own stuff out and really can't afford to lose a lot doing the sherpa thing
just got to OLI, you will find one for sure
if you buy them on flea market inspect them first
it will say if they are full or empty
once you get him yeah
mil base has a lot too
also only have generator turned on when you need it and turn it off when you are done with whatever you were doing
@dry belfry
Good tip, thanks
Thought you were trying to @ the mods there xD
lol
but yeah, i think they were fairly cheap on flea if you just want to buy them, only need to inspect first
Hey Guys. Not sure if this is the place to ask about this but here goes :)
Why are everyone bartering everything for Emelya Rye Croutons?
Its confusing the hell out of me 😂
they are needed for a quest
maybe other stuff but idk
i think you need 5 but i'm not on that quest yet
6
ah
ohhh Jaeger... I didn't even consider that. Thanks guys 🙂
Not to my limited knowledge 😅
For quests that need to you to find items in raid, do previously found items count? Like find stuff for future quests then stash till I can start that quest. Or does it have to be found after I start the quest?
As long as you found it in raid (it'll have a little check mark) it can be used for the task no matter if you found it before you accepted the task or after. Most people start picking up task items day 1
Can somone explain the fee system in the flea market?
It's like tax or an Ebay Seller fee.
But how is it calculated? The wiki formula wasn't much help
Based on price of what you sell the fee will be higher
I don't know the math. You can just click on add item. Add the item and your desired price and it'll show you the fee "tax"
if you sell for around the "normal" price its less, too high or too low and its more
You can always decide to NOT hit place offer if you don't want to play the tax
How can I find the "normal" price? On the wiki that term is defined as "Vr" but I don't know where to find it...
Just filter by item. .....then see what the lowest price is. Price it around that
If you price it too much higher than lowest price it may sell but may take awhile. Too much higher than lowest then only the idiots will buy it
So if a Gas analyzer is selling for 50K i'd sell one for 49K and it'd sell almost immediately. I could try maybe 55K and it may sell but not super fast.
Put it up for 90K and you are just wasting time...unless some sucker doesn't know how to scroll down and buys the first one they see.
high ticket items sell fast for if they roughly 5-10k less then the cheapest
its all free money for an item you found for free
would anyone like to help me on salewa farming
Mantis Interchange
You can check Med Bags and Boxes. You have a chance to spawn with one as a Scav. Mantis on Interchange
I was thinking of going interchange, but everytime i go i get destroyed lol
so maybe i'll try shoreline
There is a blue jacket in the trunk of a blue car next to the tower in Customs that basically always spawns meds
There is an upstairs med store on IDea side on Interchange but it's been weak since 12.
Also a small red/blue painted med station by Techlight on Upstairs Ollie side of Interchange
also quick question, is condensed milk good?
Yeah there is a little med station next to Techlight meds spawn on the floor and shelves in there
yeah kinda
it is easy money
ah perfect
I dont know if this is the right place for this, but if anyone has a container better than the alpha container id be willing to trade a bitcoind and possibly some cash. Im new and tired of getting pooped on and not having any space for loot
and if you get 50 of them you can trade for a Kiba key which is about 1m R
you should easily be able to sell Con Milk for about 50k on flea
it takes me 7 minutetes to load into customs then i instantly disconnect. what do i do?
Region? How much RAM & is the game on an SSD?
8 gbs and not on an ssd
what is this chat for?
Ok. Well Sunday, Monday and part of Tuesday load in times were high for all due to servers being overloaded. Customs was one of worst since so many were running it due to first tasks
So that could be a factor but I will say that game loads slow on HDD
should i try to run at night then
And 8gb of ram is gonna push it
is this game better on an ssd?
It will Run on 8gm of ram but I'd close as many programs as you can including browser
I'm no official but I'd tell everyone to put it on an SSD if you can
i close the browser when i launch
And would recommend 16GB ram. It won't use all 16 but will max out 8 from my and other's experiences
i normally spawn in customs in 3 min w fine fps but not today
@digital fern It's where new people come to ask questions
prob cuz servers r packed
How do you play day maps?
When you click on a map it shows you two times
k
one time might be 00:00 and the other time is 12:00
Ok
night servers r less packed
Ok, Thank you
ye np m8
is there a button you need to press to extract?
i just went geared then disconected smh
On labs yes @digital fern ...On other maps you just need to be in the exfil area
99% of all exits you just walk up to
ok
any good beginners map
eh customs is the easiest and most linear but has the most players because a lot of early quests take part there
so matching times maybe a bit longer then you would like
ok, Is there any way to turn off or lower down the fog
Nope
ok
fog is just a feautre
in .12 did they change the scav timer to 20 minutes
unless you are trying to spot a person 300m away fog wont be a problem
Scav timer is up'd as you see but you can descrease with a Hideout upgrade
If you could turn fog off then those who didn't would be at a disadvantage so they'd turn it off then nobody would have it and the atmosphere would be lost.
But yeah fog isnt a major problem unless youare trying to snipe a person 300m away
is factory a ok beginner map?
no not really
oh ok
Factory is hectic and a ton of angles to cover. It's the COD of EFT.
I think I know my way around customs
Customs has a lot of t he first tasks and is big enough to move around and small enough to get action.
what map has the idea
But can do any maps you want Offline Mode to learn and not lose gear if you die
Idea aka Ikea
interchange
Interchange...Also an important map since it spawns a ton of task items
where do i extract?
depends
@digital fern and @rapid sky Go to #news-setup and #521628660298678283 to get verified and then you will be able to see all channels
Give it a minute after u do it because the Bot is slow at times
besides that the Wiki has maps of everything showing everything fyi
If it takes too long cat @ a MOD.
!wiki customs
does this have a map of customs
yeah
every location has maps just scroll down
Yes quick link is above...but Wiki has them all..
and on offline mode how do you enable scav's
After u check the box for Offlilne there is another "enable pve" box below that
=-=-=-
Dunno if everyone will agree with this strategy, it's not a concrete one
But someone asked how i might go about farming interchange, i told him what i would/do, do.
Hope this helps, you guys can revise if you want.
If i spawn near OLI, rush texho, techlight, then rasmussen, then extract
or die doesnt matter
if spawn near idea, rush the computers/the storage room, then rush to the tech store that doesnt have a name, dont remember what its called but its adjacent to emercom
If spawn goshan, loot that then rush to rasmussen then to texho then to techlight then to oli then to extract
Or if you spawn gosh, loot goshan then go to mantis / The national and loot there and kill killa /scavs
=-=-=-
Sounds fair
On the setup page there is 2 langue ones and one does not have english
Killa kills player scavs
US flag top row on left side @digital fern
and it makes AI also turn on player scavs
Yes. Killa shoots player scavs
I didn't know that until i just died now
ok
Killa is not a nice man
Unlike Reshala and his boys Killa instantly agros on you
Just extracted the first time. woo.
yea found that out now.... sheesh thought he would not shoot other scavies
where do i extract on factory?
Noice @fringe magnet
GG man
typically
how do i find this gate 3?
Out of Mosin, Vepr and AKS, what weapon do you consider most throwaway?
sv98 superior mosin comrade
Depends on situation really. I use Mosin more often than the other 2 but it's preference. Unless it's a 366 Vepr then I don't pick that trash up
This will sound crazy @bold kernel but pull up a tab or on phone and Google Gate 3 factory Tarkov and watch a video. Will be more clear than us trying to type/guide...
he really want the brown ones...
So if i pre order the game right now i can play it right?
