is there an easy way obtaining mp-133 shotgun for the first quest ?
or is finding the actual shotgun from players/scavs or 4x pliers the only way?
stone surge
yes
none of the traders sell me the shotgun (apart from mechanic, but only for 4x pliers)
split vapor
they should be cheap on Flea if you have access
stone surge
ah not yet, i'll just lvl first then, i'm almost there 🙂
split vapor
once you get to lvl5 you can access flea market and those shotguns should be pretty cheap
stone surge
Just curious, do you sell most of the weapons to traders or flea?

i put my 1 mil rouble key kard on the flea market
i took it down

Traders @stone surge Need to level up traders in part by spending....For big ticket items like tetriz or labs cards I use flea otherwise use traders. One mistake new people make is overusing flea
split vapor
If you remove something from flea it will take a few to appear in the message tab
stone surge
ah i see
@waxen forge So even if flea is cheaper, in general still buy from traders unless it's way way cheaper?
ocean crag
gotta sell to or buy from traders to lv them up
ruby wigeon
hey im brand new to the game after watching some youtube videos
i dont really know anything
waxen forge
Yes @stone surge You aren't going to find much on flea cheaper than traders sell it..people use flea to make profit...
Once you have met the "spent" requirement then can choose but still flea is usually more expensive than trader price
wintry flame
@ruby wigeon What's your question?
ruby wigeon
@wintry flame is there any good resources to look at in order to get started effectively?
wintry flame
You can look for a Sherpa, people given special accounts designed to aid new players. You could also look for someone more experienced to play with. I would refer you to some guides, but on-field experience is the best experience you can get in my opinion.
ruby wigeon
ok thank you ill look for a sherpa
wintry flame
@ruby wigeon Be aware that there aren't many of them, and there's most likely a queue to get one.
ruby wigeon
alright any youtuber or streamer youd say is good to learn from
wintry flame
Pestily has alot of experience and knowledge with the game. Veritas is very good skillwise.
waxen forge
Markstrom, DeadlySlob, Klean, Pestily. Markstrom, Pestily, and DeadlySlob have Youtube tutorial vids too
ruby wigeon
ok thank you ill look into all of them
wintry flame
@ocean crag Both.
waxen forge
Yea for the Sherpa thing.....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. Figure the Sherpa are in somewhat of the same boat and 12 brought in a bunch of new people so like Blasphemy said the Sherpa probably have a line.
ruby wigeon
alright ill try to run some scavs myself until then. Thank you both!
wintry flame
A huge one at that, if you account for the fact they have specific ones for different regions.
waxen forge
Also you can do Offline raids to get some experience fighting scavs and learning maps. If you die you don't lose your gear (IN OFFLINE MODE ONLY) and the ammo and meds you use also won't actually be used. It's practice mode.
ruby wigeon
oh i didnt know that. Ill do that right now
waxen forge
Check the Box for Offline Mode...and then Under it there is a box for "Enable PvE".

for intergrated mag?

To get the most accurate surround sound Tarkov uses stereo as far as it goes.

Or keep it if you havent done the quest where you need to hand in an avs rig

@sudden vault you can kill with a hatchet but you'd need to hit them in the fact with a right click. It's not very effective.
Bring a makarov at least. It helps
sudden vault
And how much stab in the chest ?
feral gorge
@sudden vault You'd be dead before you stab them enough times in the chest. Plus they would have to not have any armor too... Soo don't expect success with that

Will I get better?

feral gorge
@tight kite Ye man. Also what kinda load outs do you run anyways since u don't have gear fear
tight kite
PP19 and basic gear.
feral gorge
What kinda basic gear tho. Like list it out if it's not too much of a hassle @tight kite
tight kite
I do:
- PP19 with armor piercing rounds, 2 extra mags
- UNTAR Armor
- That Green Helmet
- Scav Vest
- And usually scav backpack
Also I have my alpha on me so.
feral gorge
Hm
Okay soo
Don't run the SSH68 helmet
Don't run the bucket
Just buy a cap instead
Use the smol rig for 10k from Ragman instead of Scav vest.
Also only AP rounds for PP19 are 6.3 AP
Don't use those
Use Pst Gzh
It's fine for now
Also how do you buy the Untar? Flea market? @tight kite
feral gorge
@tight kite hm, don't
Buy Paca from ragman if u can
Or just trade the half masks for Paca
And like drop it for better armor later
Also to be perfectly honest right now
I'd recommend just doing M9 Beretta runs instead as a naked
It's more effective
And it's cheaper

you need spare bullets in your pocket to load it

long shale
@tender void its a bit location dependent, but don't rely on it
for example if you kill a scav near red office on customs
then run into another scav near military tower on other end of map they shouldn't kill you
but I get mixed results
tender void
ahh...so just rely on if you kill one scav kill them all then
what about if you are in a group...and your friend kills a scav, do you also get tagged?
long shale
no
but if your friend is getting shot, and you kill that scav
you now also get the bad flag
tender void
ahh got it

That's why you befriend scavs cause they take up 80% of the map.
jaunty timber
Why can't I sell this car battery for more than 100k on the flea market?
tight kite
Which is the reason nobody buys it.
jaunty timber
Either way they're still listing it above 150k
stone surge
Is there in general a priority for attachments? Like what kind of attachments are almost a must on most weapons, apart from most likely a sight?
tight kite
@stone surge I say from the most important to the least important: Sight > Lights&Laser > Grips > Ammo > Handguard
stone surge
Why laser above grip or handguard?
but thanks, that's helpful. Already assumed something along those lines
tender void
...@jaunty timber look you are asking why batteries are not being sold, if those are the prices listed, then that means the ones below them were already bought....so you either scan market price for a few days to see how the prices fluctuate then price one based on those. or you undercut by a decent chunk and try and sell at deals if you cannot wait.
the fact that you are arguing with that logic makes me realize you have no idea how games work. at least those with a player controlled marketplace.

To be fair, the ingame map is pretty realistic. You look at any region map, and this is what'll look like.

If you scroll in too far, they end up going white. That's a known issue that crops up every few patches or so before being re-fixed.

@valid bramble just cause you don't enjoy some aspects of the game doesn't make it bad, this game encourages smart play and learning through trial and error or being educated by someone more experienced IE what this chat is for

When you sell weapons do you always disassemble it?

selling whole weapons is losing money compared to stripping it and selling to skier -> mechanic

@fringe magnet it depends if it has a lot of attachments or I know its expensive then yes, otherwise I save time by selling to mechanic

Sadly Tarkov does belong to that cadre of games where, it implies a certain high level of videogame literacy from games in the same genre and assumes the players very willing to beat things against other things until they figure out how it works.
@bold kernel
It's a out-of-raid location that you upgrade for certain in-raid bonuses and resource generating points.
fringe magnet
guess i might do 2-3 run througs
pastel trail
lag I recommend that until you have a well build gun unless you go into tight quarters keep the gun on simi so you have accuracy

@fringe magnet
I'd advise making better use of your SCAV to get free loot.

It gets very good once you've established yourself.
I wouldn't put too much into it early on personally.

It is very expensive rn though

Come say what uyp!

Tarkov is kinda easy to get into if you have played arma or dayz
If not, it's daunting and you'll feel lost, especially solo 😛

@valid bramble
Just as a heads up, you're not allowed to advertise streams here.

@jaunty plover so, there's trades from the traders, and there's a global limit to how many can be bought from a trader each reset period

fringe magnet
I'm fairly good with my ears from playing cs 1.6, cs:go, r6...
long shale
Yeah, but a lot of people know customs like the back of their hand, so if you are full on sprinting, they'll stop moving, identify where you will show up as visible, and move to intercept
tender void
this game is NOTING like regular shooters
long shale
like, if you are moving along the wall towards an opening
brisk mortar
@fringe magnet
Pro tips: Don't take shots at every scav you see unless their in your way, only run when you're being shot at or need to advance on a enemy that knows where you are very quickly, and never take a shot that's out of your weapons effective range.
long shale
and someone hears you from other side of wall, they know to reposition to shoot you as you hit the opening
yeah, shooting at some scav 60 yards away who is no threat and looking at some bushes suspiciously
is a good way to get shot in the back by someone nearby if you didn't clear the whole area first

I don't even get to the point of fighting scavs most of the time

if you are near buildings, and are looking to enter them, do not sprint

it actually swaps between the state you were last in when you pressed caps lock.

Hey guys, quick question about upgrading the game version from standard edition: If I upgrade now, can I reset straight away or do I have to wait until like three weeks into this patch? I've read old posts about it but not sure if that still applies

Yeah thats what we were just talking about @fading prairie !
No need to reset anymore!

Oh lmao
I just came back online since I've been thinking about it earlier, haha
sorry 'bout that

No worries at all! Great news for both of us honestly.

Yee indeed!
Been playing the last few days and honestly I've been really enjoying the game so far, so I don't mind tossing in some extra money for support
edgy blade
I've been feeling the same! Upgrades are wonderful too, like what comes with them.

he probably said already the stash upgrade should be instant, the gear may take a bit
wild barn
wheres the #looking-for-group ?

Is it at all possible to disable the gold crown you get when you get the EOD edition, or is it static? And thats quite alright honestly, as long as I get to keep my current progress and items, thats fantastic!
wild barn
thanks
split vapor
Nope thats a feature Par
edgy blade
Figured that as much!
split vapor
did you upgrade yet? if you didnt the gamma will repalce your current case
edgy blade
It feels a little flaunty and I didn't wanna have it cause I know some of my friends want that edition and I just feel bad lol.
fading prairie
Personally the stash is what's been the most interesting for me. If you wanna get further into the game and have a couple of extra gear for future raids, then you definitely need more stash space. I know you can upgrade it but lmao getting 3.5mil + the items gonna take me a bit too long 
edgy blade
And no I havent upgraded yet!
Planning on in the next month or so hopefully, just wanted to know what I was getting into before I start saving a little from work.
edgy blade
Okay awesome thank you loads! Definitely want that gamma.
split vapor
so when you do do it, just sell your alpha to rag easy 150k
edgy blade
Ah okay! So sell it before I upgrade is what you're saying, since it replaces?
fading prairie
does the delivery come immediately or in a few mins? Or does it take a bit longer?
split vapor
the items?
edgy blade
Awesome, thank you so much
fading prairie
yee
split vapor
typically instant, i knew during when the game was on sale, getting the new items did take a bit

Since if I sell the alpha container and get a new one in a few hours/days, I might as well not yeet that thing straight away 
Ah alrighty, cheers for that, comrade o7

did one pmc raid, made it out and 2 scav raids but died on each.

also for pistol, you generally just wanna shoot in the head, but if it's a player (scav/pmc) with a helmet, I have more luck shooting in the legs
legs generally kills them faster than helmet in that case

@delicate plover Well, if you shot at the scavs first and then got killed its possible either one killed you but if you never shot any scavs it's then most definitely a player scav.

No
feral gorge
@delicate plover from the death screen no
delicate plover
is there a reason that distinction is hidden?
feral gorge
But again, if you didn't shoot any scavs urself and got killed by a scav means you got killed by a player scav
@delicate plover no reason

that's only if you are scavving

Water and food he can buy anyways
The mags he can buy too

I apologize for being retarded

Prapor sells magazines
Maybe keep the 7.62 magazines since he doesn't sell 30 rounders for those at LL1
But the AK mags and PP19 mags and pistol mags sell
Also take the mag and grip of that AKSU like you did with the rest of the AKs
bold kernel
Alright, thanks

Also, sell the spruts and flashlights off of those shotguns and all the guns @bold kernel

So @feral gorge If I sell to prapor should I still disassemble?

@bold kernel First thing you do with the guns you wanna sell is right click them and click disassemble.
Make sure you have all the parts on the guns examined too
Then after you disassemble them
Go to skier and sell everything you can to him
After that go Prapor and sell the rest to him

Are there any low-risk maps that can make me a good amount of money each run

Hm
I recommend Interchange for cash tbh
I make most of my cash there
You don't need keys for it to be very profitable
Unlike shoreline
bold kernel
I really only run factory, customs, and Reserv when my friend is online
I suck at combat tbh
Sometimes i'm really good at pvp but scavs fuck me up easily
IDK how to explain it
feral gorge
Rezerv isn't really worth yet unless u wanna explore for fun
Since we don't know all definite spawns and stuff
bold kernel
Reserve is great loot if you get a late scav.
feral gorge
Yeah but like Rezerv isn't as simple to leave plus it's more dangerous
Customs is bad for loot
Interchange is what I recommend still
bold kernel
My brother and I memorized it super easily
That map along with factory are the only maps we know
thats why we run it a lot
we are learning customs though
I know like 2 extracts so far
Is marked key worth a lot

is there any loadout guide for several level ranges?
feral gorge
@bold kernel marked key is 100k on flea
@robust hare Wdym several level ranges?

what's the best map to learn the game
feral gorge
Like player level ranges?
robust hare
yeah
feral gorge
@steady pendant You'll need to know most of the maps but Customs is one of the first ones you'll need to learn soo do that I suppose
robust hare
i mean, i know its not level locked or something , but i would like to know if the weapon i use is ok or not
and the ammo
feral gorge
@robust hare Why would loadouts be spaced out like that tho? Trader ranges make more sense
robust hare
yeah , but traders are also locked behind player level
feral gorge
Plus your own level doesn't matter much in knowing if the ammo you're using is good atm
robust hare
hehe well i guess is would just like to see a weapon loadout guide by ranks i guess
something i should start with and progress
feral gorge
@robust hare What level are you? I can recommend some loadouts
feral gorge
@robust hare alright soo Level 1 traders only ye?
robust hare
yeap
feral gorge
You're mostly gonna want to use pistols tbh till you reach level 15
Like do quests and stuff till then
But I highly recommend using Vepr KMs if you find them off scavs
They are pretty common
feral gorge
I recommend pick them up and use them since they fire 7.62x39
And you have access to the PS round for 7.62 which is still good atm
bold kernel
You want the 136, not the 209s.
