humble thorn
hmm ok, makes sense. So which one do I buy?
steady pilot
I'd just earn it rather than buy it
Cause selling it is worse gain than just using it
humble thorn
when you mean earn. as in do some scav runs and take thier armor?
steady pilot
Yes or try and pmc run without getting shot
split vapor
Anything that fence sells is going to be marked up by a decent amount
steady pilot
I know I make it sound simple dont I
split vapor
steady pilot
No pain no gain
humble thorn
I get what your saying. just think ill get melted trying to fight players. ill keep doing scav runs and killing scavs
steady pilot
Everyone struggles their first time
humble thorn
yea
vernal anchor
Its not a bad idea to avoid player fights if ya can
steady pilot
If you want an efficient weapon that I consider better than taking a pistol, cause pistol rounds trash, would be a veprkm with some ps rounds
Or sks
Both are 15k on market.
humble thorn
what about the 9x19 smg?
humble thorn
im guessing it does piss all to players regardless of ammo
steady pilot
Ps rounds nearly 1 tap scavs in chest cause they have lower hp. And effectively 2 taps
762 ps
Like 545, 556, 9mm to me get me killed
I just dont find them reliable cause bullets to kill
Unless m995
dapper geyser
i need help please. anyone wanna run raids with me
steady pilot
545 bs
If you are a good head tapper any gun works I guess
I dont like the chance of missi g that shot and would want a quicker chest option is how I personally see it
humble thorn
hmm ok. makes sense i guess. ty

so how do you communicate with the people in the lfg screen?
steady pilot
Uhh you dont
green shuttle
lol thats dangerous
steady pilot
I would not join anyone in that lobby unless you mean discord
green shuttle

I just had the best scav run ever...
ruby sedge
You can communicate with voice lines in game and gestures, but yeah its pretty rough

Besides hoppinh in and asking, no.

guys i finally got my first extraction, question though do i have to take the loot out of the tactical rig before putting em away?
modern finch
Fair enough lol
brisk mortar
Nope. You can throw the rig right over and worry about the organization later.
mighty chasm
what lvl do i gotta get em to before moving to next
brisk mortar
Oh no, I was talking about selling things
since vendors only take certain items.
as for leveling people up

that's honestly prefrence.

what do you gain from lvling them

normal abyss
@primal venture it's usually easier to just sit in the beginner's assistance channel and wait for a player or a Sherpa
primal venture
huh?
normal abyss
If you want to find a Sherpa
The official forums request isn't a bad idea but often sitting in the beginner's assistance channel and sending a message here asking for a Sherpa or equivalent is way faster
normal abyss
That being said if you want one now I'm about to be on
primal venture
um
unfortunately im just watchin a video then heading to bed cuz im tired
thank you tho
normal abyss
No worries
primal venture
also dunno if we would be able to play together
wet ledge
i have a Q
when u kill AI scavs as player scavs will there be a timer where the the other AI will not aim u anymore
distant horizon
i dont know where i should post this but if someone in the oceania region could run me through some raids or give me some help that would be great (pm me on discord)
final ivy
is there a fix for the constant crashing?
ruby sedge
Have you tried repairing your game via the launcher?
@wet ledge not that I'm aware of
split vapor
@wet ledge it kinda works like that. Buts more of a distance thing. Like you kill some ai in idea and move to oli the ai there shouldn’t by hostile. Time may play a factor but I’m not sure
ruby sedge
Oh really, to be fair I usually just kos after I've killed the first never noticed that
final ivy
repairing now hopefully it fixes it as this is getting silly for me now
also what key opens the shortcut to factory in customs?
ruby sedge
Factory exit key
primal venture
shortcut to factory?
split vapor
The factory key works on both customs and factory
ruby sedge
Assuming you mean the shortcut by gas station going into boiler tanks
split vapor
Factory it unlocks two more pmc exits
final ivy
ye the one near gas
split vapor
Customs it opens the checkpoint from new gas into the factory area
primal venture
wait
ruby sedge
Yeah that's be factory exit, and as actual saying it's good for factory map too
split vapor
No
primal venture
no that can't be it
rose echo
Where the bridge is on Customs, heading towards gas station there is a little room on the right that is locked, a shortcut @primal venture
rose echo
That's what it unlocks lol
split vapor
The key has locks on both maps
ruby sedge
Technically it leads to factory but not in game is what he means
primal venture
welly said "shortcut into factory"
final ivy
there are factories on customs lol thats what that area is called no?
final ivy
that side of the map has a load of factory buildings lol
ruby sedge
Yeah your right, we assumed u mean factory map
rose echo
To be honest I just call it "the shortcut" lol
ruby sedge
Most people call that area boiler tanks or closer to the factory exit shortcut would be the yard or shipping
split vapor
Woods needs trees removed it hampered the fun I have in there
ruby sedge
It also hampered getting shot from 500m lul
final ivy
should i be collecting dog tags or just selling them?
ruby sedge
Tbh I'm fine with either, but it's nice that there's more then 2 safer ways to get into the center
There's a couple barters Wally
But I mostly just sell to therapist
split vapor
One punisher quest needs tags
ruby sedge
There's a level minimum for those right? Can't remember
split vapor
rose echo
In other news, the Sherpa program has been running for one year today! You may see us tearing it up in some raids later, so be careful 
split vapor
Haven’t touched punisher since like .4

@ruby sedge there is quite a few but I will get to you at some point

Oh lol oops
rose echo
@ruby sedge it's cool man no need to apologise, I'm the new Sherpa Coordinator so I will handle the applications etc
ruby sedge
Oh cool best of luck bud
rose echo
I made a post about applications yesterday, maybe worth a read if you have a few mins
https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/106635-application-status/
@ruby sedge thanks man, you too!
split vapor
And then you can do things like this https://streamable.com/facrb Ignore my friends bad decisions in the background
ruby sedge
gave it a read, sounds like youve got quite the backlog to catch up haha
rose echo
TLDR: Being active in the community will help your application
ruby sedge
ah yeah, seems like i should change my discord name to ingame name
split vapor
rose echo
Yes there was 5k applications, which is great to see, but time consuming
split vapor
Ha
rose echo
It would be nice to say yes too all, but we need active veteran players to lead us forward
split vapor
There was a duo of them out there
That one jumped off the bunker behind him and broke his leg

Can anyone give me a hand on learning how to play? I'm brand new to the game and have no idea what to do
ruby sedge
about to head to bed but i can shoot you a couple things that helped me
rose echo
@ruby sedge they're taking the piss out of you, you should go kill them... kill them all
ruby sedge
lol
split vapor
I wish I had money for hideout things
ruby sedge
@dusty cloud first thing put on a couple weapons and que up for a map, while ur cycling through the menus one will say play offline
rose echo
@dusty cloud where abouts are you from?
ruby sedge
@dusty cloud then itl load up a offline raid where u wont lose anything, and adjust your settings to your liking/pc specs and learn some controls theres alot
dusty cloud
West Coast of America for the most part. Don't like to be more specific because internet
rose echo
No no of course, that's more than enough, I just say UK lol
dusty cloud
@ruby sedge Gotcha, thanks man
split vapor
Ah yes freedom land
rose echo
We have some good USA Sherpas that can help you for sure, there is also @split vapor
split vapor
It’s 0438
ruby sedge
@dusty cloud the only big settings i prefer changed is chrom aberations off, z-blur off, and noise off
dusty cloud
Gotcha. Originally I'm just looking for someone to hop in a game with and teach me how to play
rose echo
But yes I forget it is late there, you could put in a request and the guys will pick it up later
fiery mango
Just got the game and I've been getting destroyed. Anyone able to help me out/learn stuff

Eh more early over late

@split vapor you guys, which ever way I say it you say the other, you and Tower lol 😂
fiery mango
I'm north america if that changes anything
dusty cloud
I'm in the same boat you are in @fiery mango
fiery mango
@dusty cloud we can just roll together I guess lol

@dusty cloud @fiery mango unfortunately its 2 am almost here and i just got off work or id run, shoot me any questions on discord and ill answer though

M700 seems to be the flavor of patch, havent run it yet

The magical red buffer tube now increases m/s so it’s p nice to comp with the gen 3 chassis
ruby sedge
????????? Wat
split vapor
Regular 700 kicks m80 at about 820ms. The one have there kicks it out at 837ms
ruby sedge
That is fucking hilarious
split vapor
Because bolt action logic
ruby sedge
It's from the adv buffer tube?

si advanced tube red
ruby sedge
Hahahahahaha
Wtf do you have some superman shoulders
And you shove the gun forward as you shoot
Muzzle velocity +2 I'm dying rn
ruby sedge
scav's got some nice core muscle
dusty cloud
So if I go into an offline game and die, do I lose anything?
dusty cloud
Cool. So I can bring a full loadout and not have to worry about anything?
ruby sedge
yeah, itl give you back your ammo and meds ect as well
dusty cloud
Noice!
ruby sedge
you can set scavs on too, and make them spawn more often to practice a bit
final ivy
i did it to mainly learn maps then went online and just got battered by players every time, still am in fact lol
final ivy
Oh i am. I'm having an issue with crashing every 5 mins though at the moment lol
ruby sedge
ah :\ did the repair do nothing
ruby sedge
did you update your drivers recently?
final ivy
nope
ruby sedge
could be that, if you havent on your graphics card for a while
final ivy
i did the one before the last one
ruby sedge
idk man sorry to hear it, only thing i could think of would just be a full re-install
which would be a pain
final ivy
its odd though because I didnt crash once yesterday
but this morning its every 5-10 mins
screen freezes and then just closes
ruby sedge
is it when your in raid? or in lobby
final ivy
rarely in lobby
mainly just as i start to load into a game
when you get the red start timer
and usually i get abck in then it crashes like 5 seconds later after reconnecting
ruby sedge
idk man, sounds like it could be a corrupted file
final ivy
how do i uninstall it just through add or remove programs?
just going to try that then
ruby sedge
yeah that would do it
i hope im not wasting your time but that seems like the last step id take
final ivy
its fine I have decent interwebs so should only take like 10 mins to download again
rigid pollen
Still raging whilst attempting to learn Customs 😦
final ivy
lol
ruby sedge
its a rough map bud
final ivy
I still havent got that damn pocket watch out lol
ruby sedge
my personal favorite though
ruby sedge
i would argue that, but its personal preferance
rigid pollen
but 8 runs 0 escapes, not even close
ruby sedge
customs is heavy pvp focused
rigid pollen
still a noob noob tho
ruby sedge
with very little in the way of looting
so it would help you get into learning gunfighting
dusty cloud
Today I learned: Landmines exist
final ivy
I found interchange to be easier for some reason lol
final ivy
well i tend to do better in that one
customs I tend to go near dorms and just get 1 hit killed by someone lol
ruby sedge
yeah thatd be me
rigid pollen
Do you have anytips regarding nav on the maps or is it just suck it up die spwan repeat and learn
ruby sedge
dorms is my boo
big tips would be, have a map open always on a extra screen or your phone
and learn/remember where you spawn, as thats where other pmcs can spawn
helps you out on the early 2-5 mins of the raid
which are usually the most dangerous
but mostly tarkov is like darksouls, die and repeat until proficient
final ivy
I feel i play too slow for some reason unless thats a good thing
ruby sedge
there is no "proper" way to play
theres advantages to playing agressive, and playing slow
mostly its just knowing when to switch between the two is how you get good
rigid pollen
initial runs, im doiung pistol runs but thats getting very expensive
ive burnt through my starter pistols
ruby sedge
Pistol runs are difficult on customs
In my experience the lower tier pistols are gateway for scav kills to upgrade them
A great cheap alternative is the sks or adar
Both weapons are about 25k and give you the ability to take down midhigh tier pmcs and roast scavs
rigid pollen
hmmm maybe ill try that, im just worried about losing all the monies before getting gut
ruby sedge
I wouldn't worry too much, everyone runs out of money
final ivy
I Like the adar
ruby sedge
Early scavs are great money makers and u can kinda run around less worried
dusty cloud
Anyone want to do a few runs with me and help me learn the game?
rigid pollen
@pallid adder super kind man, but im reallly bad XD, Like even rotating the map is still a mission
ruby sedge
Nice thing about tarkov is when playing in a squad doesn't matter how good you are tbh
Just have good communication and you'll do well
rigid pollen
Heh, OK give me 10 ill load up my 2nd screen maps and ill jump in the voice chat, I am EU based, Eng speak
final ivy
well my games installed again, lets see if i still crash every 5 mins
rustic bobcat
oh, is it like okay to come to this chat and ask for some hand holding? because i could really do with some of that at some point 😅
pallid adder
@rigid pollen Join us in channel Trio Bravo
ruby sedge
Ask and we will answer to best of our abilities
rustic bobcat
oh no i meant like teaming up? because i really need it haha. not right now, got work soon, but am i okay to come here and ask at a later time?
ruby sedge
definately
there is also the Sherpa program
on the tarkov website
you can apply to have an experianced player show you the ropes
rustic bobcat
i did not know that, thank you!
pallid adder
Sherpa's are definitely a good way to start for help
But feel free to ask anything here Intercity or anyone else for that matter.
rigid pollen
yea i put in a request but yet to hear anything
but they are real people with jobs etc so i take that into big consideration too
ruby sedge
theres a pretty huge backlog atm unfortunately
if u scroll up the new sherpa community manager was talking about it
rose echo
@rigid pollen I'm actually working at the moment, but saw this so here is the post to have a look

What is the lowest armour value that can save me from scavs and players with ak’s
chrome swallow
Alright so tier 3 and below i shouldnt care about
ruby sedge
no, class 3 would be most armor youll find

PACA = PAPER
ruby sedge
agreed
normal abyss
tier 3 is the lowest I'd ever bother with
ruby sedge
also greed
agreed
just ran into my boi reshala at gas station with a kedr lol
full clip into his face, 1400 damage reduced
normal abyss
unless you have high pen rounds then leg meta him my dude
blazing geode
can your scav spawn with a REAP scope
ruby sedge
just happened today to me
ruby sedge
yup
wet ledge
is there any time scavs at factory stop spawning
its like a nvr ending waves of scavs
cant get a chance to loot them
bold kernel
@ruby sedge That clip looks like only a couple bullets hit his head and he crouched under the rest?
reshala has no armour. probably could center mass him. his guards would be leg meta.
Scav bosses tend to get a bit of a stunlock with consistant hits
@wet ledge You get maybe 5 minutes. sometimes more if you kill a fresh wave fast enough. Player scavs are out of sync I think as player load times differ.
wet ledge
i was inside the tunnel
i killed like 7 i gave up went to cellar to hide
till like 7 mins scavs still roaming around me
then i went out to kill another 7
which timer left like 3 mins so i just left cause i still hear alot of scavs around
bold kernel
Oh that's a good spot. Mind you gotta kill a lot and loot fast.
I take groups sometimes to just get free scav gear
bold kernel
I've done it solo too but usually at night and carefully. ppl know the area and can sneak up on you
wet ledge
ah my factory is bugged time doesnt change
bold kernel
one of few occasions I take heavy armour
that is normal for factory
it got real popular in past and times were buggy
so time was locked
bold kernel
tasks are meant to be long term goals mostly. Some are tricky.
bold kernel
stuck?
wet ledge
cause i need lvl 2 jaeger
to upgrade water collector
which i cant up my lavatory and nutrition unit
bold kernel
lol that's how it goes. just keep working at it. maybe hit up a duo room or a sherpa online. i'll be available a little later in day. gtg

Idk what ur talkin about. coolest. merch yet
indigo owl
is weapons with same ammo has same damage ? whats the point of weapons then
plucky goblet
different rate of fire, different mods, different recoil
indigo owl
so sks and akm made same damage on 1 shot
plucky goblet
yes
noble flower
The one easiest to hit your target with is the better :p
cyan nymph
newish player LFG
indigo owl
@noble flower you mean better accuracy?
bold kernel
akm kicks harder on shots
plucky goblet
its not that easy
bold kernel
so aim jumps
plucky goblet
there is still stuff like recoil, accuracy, full auto capability, etc
indigo owl
@bold kernel are you talking about automatic fire? or one single shot
noble flower
does sks have higher velocity? so it's easier to hit moving targets from distance?
bold kernel
hip fire I only do on automatic
indigo owl
you said akm kick harder is it mean it has much more velocity on ammo?
bold kernel
no as in the gun will jump upward
full auto akm offline. ads you should almost point to sky
noble flower
actually, Im doing AKM quest on shoreline
I've been spraying with it on my shooting range
indigo owl
i was wondering damage difference on weapons at one shot
noble flower
if I sit down, the kick isnt bad at all. But I have spent some money on that AKM
bold kernel
long as bullet hits it'll deal damage to part hit.
indigo owl
what ?
bold kernel
but there can be some spread with any rapid fire
bullet stats there
gun and your stance determines how you send them down range.
controlled single fire will be closest to aim point.
full auto will start to spread.
and the gun will climb
modding can help reduce amount of spread and how quickly your aim point centers
recoil for gun climb and some spread.
indigo owl
thanks alot
bold kernel
ergonomics for aim center speed and stamina drain.
holding shift steadies aim.
test it all out offline ^-^
cyan nymph
is holding shift for all ADS or 4x and above
bold kernel
it works for all ads
it is holding breath though. it can only help on first few shots
blazing geode
is there something better to do with cpus and cpu fans rather than trade it up for m4a1?
thick mist
Not really
lavish seal
is the rb-ksm key worth keeping?
normal abyss
are you doing reserve runs?
lavish seal
not at the moment
normal abyss
check how much it sells for
lavish seal
around 400k
normal abyss
it's got a duffle bag and a bit of loose medical loot around the place
lavish seal
wait that's it
normal abyss
yes
normal abyss
probably because a lot are doing runs on reserve and it's a new map and new keys
mint mason
there is some kind of trade channel here?
mint mason
also fine ^^
normal abyss
worst case you can just rebuy the key anyway and they usually go down in price

Lots of good stuff. Talk about Flea market manipulation and fixes, maps connection plans, weapon maintenance implementation and more.

The quest where u need to kill 7 scavs without armor does that apply helmets too?

Is it armor?
ruby fox
is there a table or something that has different weapons and the attachments that go with them?

Not that I know of. However, if you use the tarkov wiki, search a specific weapons, there will be a list of mods that the weapon can use.

you can do linked search to see all compatible attatchments

what if youre in the raid when time runs out?

@mighty chasm ur char just dies

Will they ever do a more immersive thing than just, keel over dead at timer run out?
mighty chasm
so i should keep track of time then. where can i see that?
steady pendant
you can know if the extracts with question marks are open or not
ex for smugglers boat, its open if theres a campfire and a boat
urban silo
I just logged in after yesterday evening and now my scav is on cooldown? oO
steady pendant
prob bug..
bold kernel
yea my scav is on cd too
mild steeple
cd starts when you log in after patch

Wait, you mean not all questionmark extracts are open?
Then what about those without the questionmarks?
autumn lintel
Have you ever gone to the extracts with question mark or used them?
noble flower
Paid Antiroach is not good for anything right?
final ivy
Ofcourse not I never extract 
noble flower
@autumn lintel yes,
@autumn lintel They are not guaranteed. Some of them needs a key. Some of them require you to have parachord and no backpack, Some of them are just "you might be able to use this as a normal extract" And some of them costs 3000 roubles to use(cars, boats)
autumn lintel
That’s true,
And paid anti roach isn’t any good
But two WD40 can be traded to mechanic for a glock17 that is modded out

Is the Depot hermetic door open to both pmc and scav on reserve?
brisk mortar
@bold kernel
Yup, you can buy a beta from LL4 Peacekeeper, earn a Epsilon from finishing the punisher quest line, or a Kappa from finishing all the tasks in the game.
@mossy blaze
Both, as long as it's open.
mossy blaze
Thanks by open do u mean a key is required or as in the extraction being available? the wiki seems to be have it wrong for this extract
hallow kayak
epsilon is 2x4
cerulean cape
ah, so its smaller kk
hallow kayak
used to be argueably better cause you could fit a gun.... but now you cant anymore
cerulean cape
makes sense... guess i need to level to get kappa lol, but that seems like insane grind
bronze prism
alpha ftw
simple urchin
should i just sell all dogtags to thera?
hallow kayak
yeahh i have been flat out doing quests.... not paying 4 mil for 2 more ledxs and need to get a bunch more grenade kills to continue on haha
bronze prism
@simple urchin for a while dog tags went for a lot of flea
hallow kayak
am just wondering if you neeed to do all of jaegers quests to get kappa now

rn its like 9k for a tag
so if you can sell a tag to thera for more than 9k go for it

Peacekeeper sells some 556, and you can flea market if ur lvl 5

level 4
dense lotus
@upper sky Sure thing bud, Just message me whenever your playing and we can party up
upper sky
@dense lotus sounds good!
ruby sedge
I'd recommend waiting until lvl 5 and buying m856a1 ammo, the m855 you get from lvl 1 peacekeeper is really weak
upper sky
what server(s) should i be selecting if i'm in London? or just let it autoselect and don't click any?
yea i wanted to get 856a1
ruby sedge
It's the most cost effective for sure, only downside is it's a tracer
cerulean cape
autoselect most the time, if doing loot runs go to longest matching time with a mediocre ping
steady pilot
Just buy m995. You can skimp on whatever platform, but always buy the best round because that's the real reason between life and death.
Cause tarkov balancing
ruby sedge
Idk about that, m856a1 pens very well but if your new and dont have the good armor to back it up
It's hard to justify 50k worth of m995
mellow cargo
which one is better overall 5.45 or 7.62?
ruby sedge
Tbh tho the calibers serve different purposes
steady pilot
762 bs is 50 dmg 45 pen
steady pilot
Just said their stats
mellow cargo
thats damage when it pens but not the chance that it will right?
steady pilot
7n39 take 3 bullets to kill chest and effectively does not one tap head
It has been deemed worse than 545 bs by most of everyone here
mellow cargo
had to choose ak74 vs 47 you'd take 47?
steady pilot
There is no ak47
steady pilot
Depends on your playstyle. If you are going to use 545 BS and nothing else, then use an AK74M
mellow cargo
thats what im trying to choose between for what i use most of the time 545bs or 762bp
cant decide jumped on here to see what people think
steady pilot
If you want cheap 762x39 rounds like PS or want to run the 762 BP for pen, take a veprkm because it's cheap and cost 15k. I find that 762 rounds fragment much more and 1 tap scavs in chest quite easily
It will take out player armor rather easy cause it has high armor dmg
But 545 platform can spray lots of bullets and shouldn't struggle to chest or headshot someone with 545 bs
mellow cargo
ok thanks for the tips
ruby sedge
762 aks are great for tap firing as well
tired juniper
if you’re going to splurge on 762 BP you might as well get an AKM so you have fully auto fire
steady pilot
Nahh
ruby sedge
Nah
steady pilot
You don't want to full auto 7x39 guns
ruby sedge
Full auto 762 is rough to control and keep on target past like 20 feet
steady pilot
Just not worth it
It's a good weapon to teach you control and constraint
Taking your shot
ruby sedge
Agreed, also it's a cheap combo to just grab a vpo with tt01 and a sight
steady pilot
If you want to be a full auto cod kiddie get 545 gun or m4 meta
ruby sedge
Vepr sry
steady pilot
Yes I agree, the 15k gun and 2k tt01 iron sight adapter is solid af
And black polymer is only 2k more investment
ruby sedge
I like the wooden hand guard stock for thematic lol
steady pilot
I have a thing for polymer

How many player SCAVs join over the course of a raid?

^
tiny void
So they take the place of an AI scav?
Or a new spawn in
trying to figure out how it works
tiny void
ok
steady pilot
There isnt definitive information
Just assume they can exist from any point in the raid
tiny void
But there's always a finite amount of PMCs per raid yeh?
ruby sedge
Yeah that's right
ruby sedge
Different per map on how many
It's a good thing to learn so you can keep track of the pmc bodies you make/find

I have a shotgun in my intentory, I have an active task for skier asking for shotguns and armor? but it doesnt show an option to hand over the shotgun that I have..?
its an mp-153
waxen forge
Is it a Toz shotgun? If it IS a Toz are you in Skier window on traders or on the tasks tab while in stash.
waxen forge
Or that
normal abyss
or at least he does it subtly
waxen forge
Depends on which shotgun task
normal abyss
somethign like that
undone hazel
he just asks for shotguns tho
undone hazel
yup
waxen forge
Then it is the Toz
dense lotus
Is there a specific place, I should post a suggestion for the Sherpa program?
steady pilot
Well there's a toz/module 3m armor task
waxen forge
normal abyss
what's the suggestion?
steady pilot
Prapors is 133
normal abyss
I can pass it on to the coordinator

so, i just turned in the rsass for gunsmith pt 6 and it didnt complete the quest? nani?
tired juniper
Did you click the complete quest button
solemn rampart
thats it tho, it dont show up, i turned the gun in and its left my inv but i cant complete the quest
tired juniper
Try relaunching the game

I'm thinking turn it off then back on again

How many players can you have in a squad..?

5 PMC and 4 Scav

Grouping in game? You mean with randoms?

That is usually a poor idea if you don’t have communications with them.

If the boat is an open exfil when you walk up to it timer counts down
If not no timer
Exfil with a ? mark are only POSSIBLE not guaranteed.
ruby sedge
There's a bouy in the water and if the lights on it's there right
Havent played shoreline in a bit
whole schooner
How are you supposed to learn to exfil as scav?
waxen forge
Use internet maps
ruby sedge
Maps online zhan
waxen forge
On most maps its just an area
ruby sedge
Yeah scavs have generally alot of extracts
waxen forge
Reserve and labs have interactive maps such as press a button or something...although you can't scav on labs
whole schooner
hmm.. was about to say, you dont get a map to even see anything..
cool xD
lots to look forward to
waxen forge
And thank God labs will be locked by having to go through streets of tarkov in the future.
ruby sedge
You can buy one ingame and it shows before u go into lobby
But truthfully they are terrible
Compared to player maps

Yea wouldn't waste money and alpha/gamma space for an in-game map

ill just memorize then

what type of armor does lv1 skier quest want?
where it says hand over body armor
but not specified

module 3-m
obsidian merlin
I have a good question, if you buy the standard package to Tarkov and you've been playing and got guns and stuff, do you lose some of the guns when you upgrade to the best package? Because if you already have stuff in there and the best package gives you tons of stuff to you lose it?
waxen forge
3M...white body armor
When u get a task google the task name with the word Tarkov. Will give you the wiki. Use it
It's not Cheating. It's intel
We all use it. That way you know what to do. Task descriptions are often vague.
undone hazel
ooh okay
waxen forge
This is not a puzzle game. If it were a puzzle game then this would be "cheating" but it is just intel in tarkov. Doing the task is the game and the hard part.
I have a Chrome folder of EFT bookmarks for ammo sheets, task items to keep, hideouts items, key guides, and maps (although I know them now).
Plus a few other things.
Still use the Reserve map now since it's new.
No @obsidian merlin Upgrade items come in messenger and stash size just increases. No need to reset game profile any longer.
waxen forge
Messenger at bottom of screen when u are in stash.
obsidian merlin
I am such a noob, sorry.
waxen forge
EOD gives you items including Gamma. All will be delivered in messengr. Messenger is also how you get task rewards and insurance returns.

you can also get a better container from lvl 4 peacekeeper but thats a bit down the line
or from the punisher task line

By the time u decide it'll be gone from Fence

yeah peacekeeper has the beta container on sale rn, but i dont have the lvl lol

also a possability haha

Hiya, what's a good map/ method to make roubles and keep them?

Factory scav is my personal favourite but I’ve heard that reserv is easy cash

@merry terrace Reserve easy cash, plenty of guns and loot. Interchange, plenty of Tech and Hardware parts for task and trading items to sell. Factory, PVP is plenty here just be careful because it is easily the most cornering map. Shoreline(Red Keycard If you’re lucky)

Hello, sorry for posting here but TBH I just joined this discord and I am not sure where to go. I am new-ish to tarkov. I have some of the basics down but I am definitely a new player. Is there somewhere here where beginners can group up and learn the game together?
oh! Canadian and play on the US servers.

Google the task name with the word tarkov. Will get the wiki. It tells you what you need to do and what you need. It's intel. We all use it. Veteran players still reference it.
earnest pollen
@tardy aspen and study the tarkov wiki really well, especially on ammo, weapons and armor
tardy aspen
Ack. I have the ammo charts open but with lvl 1 traders its a bit difficult. I need to learn more. Honestly the whole market is kind of intimidating since I dont know what I'm looking for haha
Right now I am just getting a feel for everything. usually go in maps with a Mosin paca and penis helm.

@tardy aspen dont let the amount of info intimidate you. you will find the shit all over on reserve, so its important to know what to grab and what to pass beforehand
