Did that

hearty veldt
#

Great

#

now what task's do you have

spiral jay
#

It says debut

hearty veldt
#

so you have to kill 5 scavs on customs and give him 2 shotguns ( go to the task window and click to transfer the item over to praptor)

#

also you can buy them if you are level 5 via flea market if it dosn't say "find in raid " for items.

#

this can be usefull in case you kill ppl with better gear/stuff and you have no room for shotguns

spiral jay
#

Oh ok

hearty veldt
#

take it easy, you will learn the map and know where the most common fight area is.

spiral jay
#

I haven’t even played yet ima jump into custom and try to kill them

hearty veldt
#

Ok, @spiral jay

#

if it's your very first raid

#

keep in mind you will need meds

#

something to heal broken limbs stop bleeding etc

lapis mauve
#

Do offline first

spiral jay
#

Ok

hearty veldt
#

Y we send him offline

steady pilot
#

cause

#

he will lose all his shit

hearty veldt
#

Have @spiral jay car first aid kit and splinters

#

and pain killers

#

for meds

steady pilot
#

better to tlearn mechanics offline

hearty veldt
#

mhm

lapis mauve
#

Yes, wander around clueless and die but lose nothing

hearty veldt
#

but if he is coming form other games we need to tell him about bleeding lost limbs etc so he knows when to use painkillers all that jazz

lapis mauve
#

Then do online

#

He will see that in offline

steady pilot
#

you can fight scavs in offline

#

???

#

are you new too?

#

lul

spiral jay
#

I have bandages splints and a1 2s

strange tide
#

@hearty veldt thank you

#

ill try to do that

hearty veldt
#

ok ,just make sure you have stuff to stop bleeding

spiral jay
#

How many?

hearty veldt
#

If you have Car first aid kit, till it runs out

#

if you have aseptic bandage is 1 per use

spiral jay
hearty veldt
#

so for example, if you start bleeding from 3 limbs 2 bandages wont be enough

#

bring 1 splinter 3 bandages x2 ai-2

spiral jay
#

Ok what do I do with my alpha container

hearty veldt
#

if you can buy Car first aid from medic

#

Equip it

#

everything inside it will be safe if you die

#

so if you find good value/quest item you can put in there

#

and if you die, it's safe and you wont lose it

spiral jay
#

Oh ok

hearty veldt
#

people use it to stash good high value stuff and task items, such as Hose ,bitcoins etc

spiral jay
#

Ok

#

I missiongn anything else

#

Side arm?

hearty veldt
#

Not really, if you kill some1 you can use the weapon they have

#

But bring another magazine

spiral jay
#

Ok ima go for it on custom then lol

hearty veldt
#

also keep in mind weapons like this have huge recoil

spiral jay
#

Oh ok

hearty veldt
#

in general i bring minimum 2 magazines of 30 bullets + the one in weapon

spiral jay
#

I only own 1 mag

hearty veldt
#

Also in tarkov, ammonution matters the most

#

some players and scavs can tank lot's of shot if you are using low tier ammo

spiral jay
#

Do I bring my only mag

hearty veldt
#

here is ammo chart to get better idea

#

ye , you wont lose anything don't worry

#

bring as much stuff you wanna test on offline mode that is the purpose @spiral jay

#

you are going in test mode

#

nothing that happens during the raid will have any effect is just you testing and learning map

#

so don't worry if you die and stuff you wont lose the weapon

spiral jay
#

Why does it say that

lapis mauve
#

In game map is useless, just hit next

#

Use wiki for maps

hearty veldt
#

on next screen

#

make sue to click (check mark)

spiral jay
#

I did

hearty veldt
#

enable offline mode enable PvE and enable bosses

#

so you can have scavs and be in offline mode

spiral jay
#

Oh ok

lapis mauve
#

I would not enable bosses if it’s his first raid

hearty veldt
#

cmon now he should know aobut this

lapis mauve
#

😆

hearty veldt
#

+adrenaline if he kills rashala

#

Poggers

lapis mauve
#

They will just spam grenades at him

hearty veldt
#

well well , could you imagine new player dosnt know the map and grnades fly

spiral jay
#

So boss or no boss

hearty veldt
#

perfect tarkov sitoation

#

haha up to you

#

bosesss are really hard

spiral jay
#

I’ll do it with

hearty veldt
#

so you can go without them

spiral jay
#

Oh ok

#

Loading in

hearty veldt
#

you have ammo that won't kill them unless you shoot em in the head and they have no protection or vica versa shoot em in the legs

#

because they will have armor you can't penetrate

#

enjoy

#

it will be hard af , if you have second monitor have custom maps up

#

and try to orient your self

spiral jay
#

Lol I made sure they are off

#

And I don’t

#

I have a phone

lapis mauve
#

Phone works

hearty veldt
#

monkaS prepare to die sadbear

spiral jay
#

Ok I can just look up the map?

hearty veldt
#

there is no map in game

#

you have to learn it like remeber everything

spiral jay
#

I mean online

hearty veldt
#

yes here it is i will link it agian

spiral jay
#

Ok thanks

hearty veldt
#

ah and btw

#

make sure you do day time

#

or it will be pitch dark and you wont see shit

#

xd

#

if you hear russian speaking ppl shit is about to go down @spiral jay

strange tide
#

well uh

#

i have humantiarian supplies now

#

the map that they give me on the site isnt like the last one so i am confused

#

@hearty veldt oh bulgarian man

ripe basin
#

I'm on a quest where I need to grab a file from Customs office and delivery it to somewhere in Factory. If I die in factory do I need to re-grab the file in customs?

solemn rampart
#

Yes

ripe basin
#

Dang that's rough. -_-

solemn rampart
#

Its quite anoyying, bring a friend gear up, and have him bulldoze u a path

ripe basin
#

Roger that. Thank you! 🙂

thick mist
#

Well

#

If you drop the file off, you can die in Factory

#

But before you drop the file, you can't die

ripe basin
#

Oh okay, so I might be able to rush and drop the file off. Thanks for that info! ❤️

solemn rampart
#

Also just so u know, if you get the file but not ready to run factory, you can stash the file out of raid. Go to character, tasks, transfer it. When ready transfer it back onto u. No you cant farm multiple cases (i tried)

#

@ripe basin

ripe basin
#

Oh that's helpful! thanks!

thick mist
#

Jesus christ what

#

I'm ready to just stop bringing armor lmao

#

Scavs are so broken

#

Killed four PMC's but of course a freaking Scav just domes me from across the map with his TOZ

#

Taking that class 4 armor sure did help

hearty veldt
#

@strange tide DID YOU Figure it oujt

#

if its a helm @thick mist

#

you can still get headshoted

#

you need visor

strange tide
#

i did the scrap metal one

#

i think i have a better hold of the map

brisk mortar
#

I've been finding that the one tap scavs

hearty veldt
brisk mortar
#

are usually using slugs

hearty veldt
thick mist
#

Yeah definitely slugs

#

I feel like they don't take slugs into account for shotgun scavs

#

So they just have aimbot accuracy

brisk mortar
#

Well this is what testing is for tbh

#

just like the horrible swap of M61 to M80 for hunter scavs.

split vapor
#

Id like to keep taking two shots to die over 1 from scavs

smoky kindle
#

Why are there so many sound bugs? I had a pistol and was fighting this feared dude (wasn’t gonna win) but he pops pain killers and everything’s quiet, and all of a sudden I just die and he’s behind me, no noise either

thick mist
#

Sounds like you timed out or something

#

If he teleported behind you lmao

smoky kindle
#

Ugh it’s so annoying I’ve had like 4 runs ruined by this

#

I get to the resort, loot the rooms and blam I just got deleted

fathom narwhal
#

is there like map that shows where scav spawn

#

in custom

bronze oak
#

@fathom narwhal check the wiki

#

The maps there show whwre spawns are. Tho be careful because the scavs wander

fathom narwhal
#

cool

#

im still stuck at quest 1 so lol

#

most of the time i just die from another pmc

#

and killing is the fastest way to level up my pmc right?

gritty cape
#

@fathom narwhal that and quests i believe

fathom narwhal
#

aight thanks

gritty cape
#

for sure

normal abyss
#

@fathom narwhal quests way more than kills

fathom narwhal
#

ok

thick mist
#

Damn Vepr KM prices are rising

analog oxide
#

i have no idea what im doing anyone can help?

compact copper
#

what u need help with?

#

@analog oxide

analog oxide
#

everything

#

literally just installed ive seen some streamers play it looks fun so i bought it

brisk mortar
analog oxide
#

i dont have permission

compact copper
#

erm

#

u dumb?

brisk mortar
#

Huh ... might still be locked since it's under construction.

compact copper
#

i can see it

#

katmisky

brisk mortar
#

🤷‍♂️

analog oxide
#

confusion

compact copper
brisk mortar
#

Welp. That's a later me problem.

#

So uh

#

Protips: Treat Tarkov like any other shooter and you'll get fucked

#

make excessive use of the wiki

fair hatch
#

Any tips on not getting lasered by scavs? I try to flank them but they seem to always know where I am.

brisk mortar
#

and don't run everywhere unless you dont want to die

#

They track by sound, blue. If you run they'll track you.

#

Hell, if you walk at full speed they'll track you.

fair hatch
#

I try to move quiet. Gotta watch them bushes more

brisk mortar
#

That too

fair hatch
#

I think I underestimated their hearing

lapis mauve
#

yes

#

maybe their vision too

#

try to hear or see them first

fair hatch
#

I can usually pop the first one

thick mist
#

Basically treat Scavs like highly skilled players

fair hatch
#

Then his friends get on me

lapis mauve
#

always use a headset, the cheap one is 10-12k

brisk mortar
#

Never underestimate any AI. Treat them like Raiders.

fair hatch
#

Fair enough.

brisk mortar
#

Assume they all have AP ammo and thicc armor.

fair hatch
#

Shit they have thicc skin now

lapis mauve
#

if you are getting shot and you aren't shooting or about to shoot get to cover

brisk mortar
#

just aim for their top half and you'll be fine.

fair hatch
#

More practice it is.

lapis mauve
#

offline with ai amount set to high or horde can help with some things

brisk mortar
#

^

fair hatch
#

Yeah I do that on factory from time to time. Seems those scavs can't hit a bus.

thick mist
#

Also, one thing I've noticed is that Scav's tend to sort of... Pinpoint their aim on you over time? If you peek them initially, they generally won't hit you. If you try peeking again from the same angle, they tend to insta-dome you. So try to keep moving around and peeking different angles

fair hatch
#

But the scav in the bushes is an expert marksman

brisk mortar
#

Also be aware

#

Scavs get more difficult as the raid goes on

thick mist
#

Do they really wtf

brisk mortar
#

they'll be a lot easier at 49:38 than at 12:12

fair hatch
#

Yeah I never engage from the same place twice

#

Huh. TIL.

#

I also noticed they can't aim when being shot at

brisk mortar
#

Yup, thankfully.

thick mist
#

I mean I always seemed to run into more kitted and advanced scavs but never linked it to longer into the raid

brisk mortar
#

Also another fun fact.

#

Killa WILL NOT shoot you, as long as you're shooting him.

#

He just won't.

thick mist
#

OKAY YEAH

#

I was going to ask

fair hatch
#

Ran into him for the first time today.. slotted him on my first shot.

brisk mortar
#

Niiiice

fair hatch
#

But his grenade got me.

thick mist
#

Was watching Pestily's Killing Killa videos and Killa just... Sat there every time?

fair hatch
#

Yeah I was shocked. Just one of those shots

thick mist
#

Whereas whenever I ran into him, Killa just instantly domes me

brisk mortar
#

I actually had the same thing happen from Glukar a few days ago

thick mist
#

So shooting first is the key

compact copper
#

i never had issues with milla

#

lol

brisk mortar
#

killed him and like 3 of his goons

#

and his nade got me

thick mist
#

Rekt

#

Yeah nades are so annoying

#

Especially when players spam them

brisk mortar
#

As they tend to be, but they're fair

thick mist
#

Guess that's their use though

brisk mortar
#

because they act the same from everyone.

fair hatch
#

And they sound like a gas tanker exploding

thick mist
#

I meaaaaaaan... Higher level players can generally throw grenades further because higher strength skill :p

#

I never knew how insanely broken skills were in this game

#

Until I looked at the wiki

brisk mortar
#

Just throw mare nades bruh

#

they also do take forever to train though

#

unless you cheese level them

thick mist
#

Yeah only need to throw like 34,000 grenades

compact copper
#

erm if u want il let u chop my legs for 500k

#

to get level 3 strenth for hideout

thick mist
#

A max skill player vs level 0 player though is complete night and day

fair hatch
#

Yeah I'm torn on skills.. those with more time to Oblivion the game have a stats based advantage

thick mist
#

Don't really think it's very fair

zenith compass
#

Lmao, of course
Melee strikes

compact copper
#

thats how i did mine

zenith compass
#

Pretty hilarious with how efficient that is

compact copper
#

ikr

#

gernades do shit all

#

0.0001 per nade

fair hatch
#

Hmm

compact copper
#

takes 6.5mil in nades

#

to get level 3

thick mist
#

There should be knife only lobbies

#

For strength leveling

compact copper
#

lol

#

or make it easier to level up

#

in general

fair hatch
#

I will axe all the windows in interface

thick mist
#

Yeah they really need to

fair hatch
#

Interchange

thick mist
#

Especially for some of the bs skills like recoil control

compact copper
#

i mean theres some skills that i never farmed and its like level 10+

#

in the first day

fair hatch
#

Welp time to sleep on it. Thanks for the tips.

thick mist
#

Recoil Control is so dumb it just encourages the boring no-skill mag dump meta

not just quests

ruby fox
#

anybody know if theres an adapter to add a grip to the side of your gun?

normal bear
#

@ruby fox no

#

Why would u need that or need an adapter lmao you can do it irl no problem

#

But this isnt a functionality present in tarkov

plucky goblet
#

why would you do that in the first place

wet ledge
#

so unlucky always face killa as scavs

desert hull
#

so like

#

mounted a sight and a laser sight on my trusty M9A3

#

but when ADSing, the sight and laser dont even line up

#

Which one of these am I supposed to trust?

bold kernel
#

Laser is closer to the barrel

normal bear
#

Nah

#

Turbo

#

Whats ur FOV ?

sick sedge
#

press alt+right click and you can get diff reticle I think

desert hull
#

60

normal bear
#

Umm

#

Okay ?

#

Thats weird

desert hull
#

I heard there was a fov sight alignment bug

normal bear
#

Seems like ur sight zeroing is low or something

desert hull
#

but never looked into it

normal bear
#

There is but its only on high fov

#

Higher than default=misaligned

#

Some weps also have it more some less

#

But all default fov should be aligned

desert hull
#

yeah when I put the zeroing at 100 meters it lines up

#

I had it at 25 meters apparently

normal bear
#

Okay

#

Ye

#

Pk is always 25m

#

I would say

#

Zero it to 25m and trust the sight

tight frigate
#

hello

desert hull
#

so keep it at 25

#

and just remember the laser is below where im aiming

normal bear
#

Yes

tight frigate
#

i need help, i just got EFT and my ping is 300 ? it says american region but it says i am on australian server?

normal bear
#

@tight frigate change the servers via launcher for the lowest ping

tight frigate
#

i have

#

still gives me 300

normal bear
#

If you have switched to low ping servers that might mean there are some temporary server issues or your isp is drunk

desert hull
#

Kiry what pistol would you suggest for Stirrup

normal bear
#

Bruh

tight frigate
#

fucks me

normal bear
#

I would say

tight frigate
#

thx

normal bear
#

M9 or TT

#

Five seven if u are rich but even with the five seven you are going to die

desert hull
#

ye I figure Im better off with four M9 runs than 1 five seven run

glacial spoke

Does anyone have 222 or 226 eaast

#

Pro tip: If you have painkillers at 1-2 uses left you can craft salewas with them with a bandage and a splint

#

in your hideout's med station

#

even if your painkiller only has 1 use left it will create a full salewa, and the painkiller is the most expensive part of the recipe

tulip meteor
#

Same for the car sets, can be decommisioned into meds and together with bandages (2/2 type) can make IFAK

strange mural
#

So how do people deal with flea market bullshit

#

Like buying grizzleys

#

Most are listed with two digit durability

#

And the ones that arent are either auctions or

#

Do people just buy grizzleys at like 50k?

plucky goblet
#

i just got therapist on ll4

strange mural
#

Yeah i need to level my guys honestly

#

I cant do shit right now

normal bear
#

@strange mural grizzlies suck anyways

#

Ifaks and salewas are cheap

strange mural
#

Yeah somebody told me to get grizzlies but arent those like

#

The top dog premium

zenith compass
#

For off-raid healing when the medstation isn't upgraded, it's quite efficient

#

Grizzlies

strange mural
#

guess i still cant beat geared players

#

m80 probably didnt even scratch this guy

#

do scav kills count for missions

plucky goblet
#

what scav kills

#

doing pmc kills as scav, no

feral gorge
#

If a mission wants you to kill scavs or PMCs you have to do that as your main character aka PMC.

ruby sedge
#

yes, your pmc stats and achievements are different from your scavs

Goodmorning all

ruby sedge

if anybody here wants to be my lil sherpa id be very thankful

ruby sedge

@strange mural i can run ya through a couple

#

just playing a bit before bed

strange mural
#

ill disconnect just a second

#

wait does disconnecting actually give a penalty

ruby sedge
#

itl take all your gear and such and hurt you to like you died

strange mural
#

ah

#

so might aswell run to exfil

ruby sedge
#

take your time bud, im in no huge rush

#

in a pretty good mood, log in and grab my scav case

#

theres a Red rebel ice pick inside :]

strange mural
#

oh shit

#

do thery actually sell for how much they are on flea?

ruby sedge
#

2m atm

strange mural
#

wanna voice?

#

jesus thats a lot

ruby sedge
#

sure, just in duo alpha

warped locust
#

i can make things in the lavatory without power, does turning it on have any effect?

solemn rampart
#

@warped locust when power is on you get the passive bonuses such as increased healing rate from med station, also i think some crafting needs power

storm folio
#

Anyone wanna take turns stabbing eachother to get level 3 strength

warped locust
#

oh i thought those bonuses were always on too, good to know

ruby sedge
#

same not gonna lie

#

but ive been powerng mine cause its so cheap, so thank god

warped locust
#

crud somehow ive filled my stash again

#

no matter how many space boxes i get i fill that shit up dkmWICK

strange mural
#

so aks
which ones are the ones i should focus on

#

and which ones should i scrap

waxen forge
#

A bit of a loaded question. All are viable IMO. I run the 74m the most but know plenty that love t he modded AKM and 74n

#

Even the baby Ak can be decent if you mod it.

strange mural
#

i just heard somebody shitting on one of the variants so

noble flower
#

Hey, I found a "clear cache" option in the launcher. Does that remove the 1 second freezes I get after 3-4-5 games played?

strange mural
#

but yeah that does sound about right from my experience

waxen forge
#

Some people shit on Wendy's but that doesn't mean that other's don't like it

noble flower
#

I usually reboot to get them to stop

waxen forge
#

That'd be awesome @noble flower but probably more in theory than practice

noble flower
#

I'll see, i'll try it out next time the freezes comes

strange mural
#

so i figured something out

#

i need to actually scroll down to search backbags etc etc?

#

my monitor is 1920:1080 but like

waxen forge
#

Yea...if they aren't on the op of the dead body view...scroll down to see the rest

strange mural
#

everybody else can just see them starighbt out

#

or do i need a even higher rs monitor then

waxen forge
#

I'm not sure exactly what you are talking about but IF you mean when you kill someone you have to (at times) scroll down on their body inventory to see the backpack then yes. If the chest rig is big then you may have to scroll down to see the rest of the inventory.

strange mural
#

yeah

#

i was wondering why i couldnt loot bodies backbags and pockets etc

#

i thought theyd just show there but...

#

i had to scroll...

#

ive lost like... a lot of loot because im retarded

waxen forge
#

You do know that if searching a filing cabinet you have to search EVERY drawer. It's not a global search like some games.

strange mural
#

yeah i did some googling and found that out.

#

havent had many cabinets to loot as ive played interchange

warped locust
#

haha yeah i felt like a real tool when i found that out

strange mural
#

just makes me feel absolutely retarded.

#

ive lost like a million ruples of loot because i didnt know scrollwheel existed.

waxen forge
#

Yea it's a STEEP learning curve. No worries

warped locust
#

yeah early on i didnt realise i could scrol down to backpack so all my early raids i lost bags o loot

waxen forge
#

Yup. I didn't know the each drawer filing cabinet thing when I started.

#

Sure that cost me

strange mural
#

playing this game with people is so much fun honestly

#

especially when.. the people know strats...

#

i can shoot but i have no strats to go by

chrome swallow
#

How do i find wd-40 100 ml?(upgrading my stash)

#

I found 400 ml and it doesnt work (wtf BSGPLS) and im wondering if theres a set spawn for it or higher chance spawn somewhere

plucky goblet
#

inside oli on the shelfes

#

or the flea market

chrome swallow
#

Oli?

plucky goblet
#

interchange

chrome swallow
#

I havent been there yet, ill do some offline raids to find where said shelves are, thanks

rapid minnow
#

which vendor do I unlock the AK74M barter/trade at and at which loyalty level?

waxen forge
#

There is an AK74/N barter trade for 5 apollo cigs at Prapor level 2

thick mist
#

You can craft it at level 2 workbench

#

Other than that Prapor LL3 sells it I think

waxen forge
#

Yea I think that a couple weeks ago there was a 74M for 3 crackers but that's been changed

rapid minnow
#

workbench needs a multitool thing right?

thick mist
#

Yep

#

You can buy them from Mechanic, idk what flea prices are though

rapid minnow
#

I'm level 4 lol, maybe I'll play one more raid soon and then level up and check the flea market prices

thick mist
#

Oh yeah

#

You won't be getting workbench 2 any time soon

rapid minnow
#

gotta wait for insurance though, hopefully I get my starting AKS back, dont think people would bother stealing that.

thick mist
#

Yeah people generally don't take those

#

Insurance takes 24-36 hours if you didn't know

rapid minnow
#

I used prapor insurance

thick mist
#

Yep, which is the best one to use

rapid minnow
#

How do I get fuel for generator? I see people with jerry cans in their stash but how do you obtain them?

thick mist
#

You can find them in Interchange or some other locations, but you can also buy them on the flea market

#

99% of the stuff in the game you can just buy from the flea market right when you unlock it at level 5

#

If you can afford it, of course

rapid minnow
#

I have only played customs so far just for the quests

#

haven't learned any other maps yet

thick mist
#

Yeah that's a good idea

rapid minnow
#

also haven't even learned customs properly lol

thick mist
#

You really won't need to use fuel in your generator for a very long time

waxen forge
#

I love dropping 1.6 mil on a Ledx for hideouts.

thick mist
#

1.6 mil damn?

#

Used to be 2.2mil last night

waxen forge
#

They dropped. Was almost 3 million earlier in the week

rapid minnow
#

why do some items have a purple background ?

#

rarity?

plucky goblet
#

yes

marble latch
#

hey everyone, does anyone know how to fill up the fuel tanks?

waxen forge
#

Just go get a new one on interchange or buy from flea and sell the empty can

#

Technically I think you can carry one into a raid and if you exfil it's full but that seems like more work than necessary.

hey guys , i ve just bought eft and im hella lost in this game , can someone help me

waxen forge
#

Welcome to EFT. Any specific questions?

marble latch
#

thanks bro

tiny summit
#

i dont know the map , i dont want to play main character because of im afraid i ll run out of the gas

#

how should i approach this game

waxen forge
#

Use internet maps to learn. Use offline mode to learn so if you die you don't lose anything

tiny summit
#

offline mode ?

#

are there scavs ?

waxen forge
#

When you get a task look it up on Wiki - Google task name with word Tarkov . It will tell you what to do.

#

Yes Offline can have scavs if you Check the "Enable pve" box...but you do not keep the loot you pick up and don't lose anything if you die.

#

Watch those vids

tiny summit
#

thank you

waxen forge
#

You are going to die...a lot. This game is hard with a STEEP learning curve.

#

First thing to do RESET YOUR EXPECTATIONS

#

Are you good at FPS games? Doesn't matter. This is not that.

#

Experience is huge in EFT. Need to learn maps, scav behavior, player behavior, ammo types, what to loot, what to keep, what to sell.

#

You will lose all of the guns you start with possibly in the first day

#

Loot....sell loot using Therapist>Skier>Mechanic...buy new gear.

solemn rampart
#

When i was new i didnt do offline like it was recommended. I just did hatchet runs and died until i got good XD

#

I was the ultimate ninja scavenger

waxen forge
#

I didn't do offline either really. Just figured it out

floral pelican
#

not really new, but i play like i am... WAY too long of a break

#

although i found a pretty consistent flash drive spawn doing hatchet runs 😉

potent venture
#

Can someone tell me why I can't launch eft

floral pelican
#

could be a lot of things

#

error messages?

waxen forge
#

If you bought before Christmas 2018 make sure you go to profile on escapefromtarkov.com and claim Xmas present ...scroll down to "received additional in game content."

solemn rampart
#

Dunno dude, try launching game from files

potent venture
#

From the launcher files?

floral pelican
#

no, actually into the EFT game files not the launcher

potent venture
#

Oh

solemn rampart
#

From the files directory ex: documents, eft, bsg, etc......

potent venture
#

Ok

#

Thx

#

Emmm.

solemn rampart
#

Having trouble finding it?

potent venture
#

I just see local and shared

floral pelican
#

BSG\EFT\EscapeFromTarkov.exe

#

That will be the file path you need

solemn rampart
#

??? It should be in file explorer, documents eft or bsg. If not try in programs x64

potent venture
#

Emmm.

floral pelican
#

lol

#

do you have this installed on your C: drive?

potent venture
#

I don't know why

#

@floral pelican yes

floral pelican
#

ok, go there

#

check program files x86

potent venture
#

My launcher isn't at the same file with EFT. Exe

floral pelican
#

yes i know

#

do you see the BSG folder in the Program Files x86

potent venture
#

B for Bonjour....

floral pelican
#

smh

#

@solemn rampart can lead a horse to water... hahaha

potent venture
#

Should I uninstall it?

floral pelican
#

no, you should try follow the directions people are you giving you lol

potent venture
#

Oh I see

#

I just put it at the drive lol

solemn rampart
#

Sometimes the horse needs extra help, no issue. @potent venture can you right click on the launcher and hit properties

potent venture
#

Bsglauncher and EFT(live)

#

@solemn rampart sure

solemn rampart
#

You should find the file location if u do that

potent venture
#

Em....

#

I have got 2 launcher?

floral pelican
#

no, only 1

solemn rampart
#

Nani?

potent venture
#

One is Bsglauncher one is Battlestar Games launcher

solemn rampart

upper sky
#

just got Workbench unlocked in my hideout.. is there a way to select a weapon i've modded and see what total cost would be to rebuild it again? like if i save it as a preset..?

solemn rampart
#

Save as preset, get the base gun again, aply preset, purchase missing parts, itll take u to flea market with everything listed

spare juniper
#

This game is sexy

upper sky
#

ok thx @solemn rampart

solemn rampart

@spare juniperif u want a sexy gun, get the toz XD

#

@upper sky np

strange mural
#

i kinda want a make a decked out m4

#

but its gonna cost me

#

a lot

#

so whcih meds do you all carry to each raid you go into?

#

painkillers for sure

waxen forge
#

Now I'm carrying a CMS, Ifak, and bottle of Ibuprofen

brisk mortar
#

I usually carry a alu splint, ifak, and Iburofin

strange mural
#

whats the difference between the normal painkillers and ibuprofen?

#

im getting to the real noob questions now

waxen forge
#

Pain pills don't last more than about 200 seconds. Ibuprofen is 12 per bottle and lasts about 500 seconds

strange mural
#

oh lord

#

thats amazing

split vapor
#

kam bad

rich cloak
#

I'm allways going in with grizzly cms, alu splint and ibuprofen

thick mist
#

How do you fit a Grizzly wtf

rich cloak
#

Gamma container

waxen forge
#

Why Grizzley and splint and CMS?

thick mist
#

Yeah kinda seems overkill lmao

split vapor
#

gamma fixes fractures

waxen forge
#

I get CPS for black but seems overkill

thick mist
#

Gamma containers fix fractures? That's OP

rich cloak
#

What

#

How does the container fix fractures?

bold kernel
#

grizzly

He meant Grizzly pretty sure :)

strange mural
#

jesus these mods still blow my mind

thick mist
#

What are you working on now?

rich cloak
#

What's a Co wittnes sight?

strange mural
#

so how many scopes can you have on your ak

#

ive been messing with this weapon modding tool

#

and WHATTHEFRICK

thick mist
#

Where you can see the irons in your optic

rich cloak
#

Ah

#

@split vapor where do you even get Aquamari?

thick mist
#

Not implemented in this game yet, but allows you to have BUIS (back up iron sights) in case your electronics fail

rich cloak
#

Ahh

split vapor
#

in raid you can find them

#

i just buy mine

thick mist
#

Also you can find them, craft them at higher level hideout, or buy on flea

#

I usually find them in offices on desks and such

strange mural
#

so i need to go
gas mod -> hand guard -> mount -> tactical grip

#

thats

#

i love this game.

#

i need to level my guys hard for these mods

thick mist
#

Yeah modding is definitely my favourite part

#

Flea market works as well but yeah a lot of the cheaper mods you get a huge discount from traders

strange mural
#

im happy with just having a sight

thick mist
#

Yeah honestly even just a simple reflex makes a massive difference

neon jasper
#

everyone knows hip fire spray is tarkov meta

#

sights are for bums

split vapor
#

Because bullets actually come out of the barrel over your head like most games

thick mist
#

Yeah, I really hate the mag dump meta. Doesn't help that the skill that reduces recoil is leveled by firing as many bullets as possible...

pure bronze
#

Hey @strange mural , if your not already in a group you can join the beginner assistance chat so I can answer any of your questions easier

dense lotus
#

Herro people, hows it going

thick mist
#

@pure bronze nope

pure bronze
#

?

thick mist

That voice channel is only meant for finding a Sherpa

pure bronze

oh

thick mist
#

I've been told by mods to leave while trying to assist someone there

pure bronze
#

ah

#

well thanks bro

thick mist

Would be nice to have a newbie help chatroom but 🤷‍♂️

Mod busy

spare juniper
#

I truly overestimate the power of pistols sometimes

#

Sneaked and Shot this guy 8 times into the head but he had a nice helmet that saved him

thick mist
#

Yeah pistols and SMG's are very, very, very dependent on what armor the enemy has

neon jasper
#

what pistol was it @spare juniper

dense lotus
#

night raid shoreline with mp5 :3

#

everyone seems to wear no visor, and runs nvgs

#

easy pickings 😄

strange mural
#

there are so many voice channels here

thick mist
#

Can you even use NVG with visors? Never tried it before

strange mural
#

and yet not enough

spare juniper
#

The starter one uhhh 9x18

#

@neon jasper

neon jasper
#

LOL

thick mist
#

Makarov lmao

dense lotus
#

Nono, you cant.. its either one or the other

neon jasper
#

definitely don't use the makarov for sneaking @spare juniper

#

use something like the m9 or glock

dense lotus
#

Five-seven is a powerhouse compared to the makarov

neon jasper
#

five seven is mad expensive

split vapor
#

@bold ruin So what we doing

bold ruin
#

Well, i'm pretty poor right now

split vapor
#

dude same

thick mist
#

Five-seveN is only decent up to class 4 right?

bold ruin
#

So a raid where it's possible to make some bank blobthonk

thick mist

I keep forgetting that one Google sheets

brisk mortar

split vapor

kam wanna come

bold ruin
split vapor
#

scav run IC or something first

bold ruin

My scav is 13 min

#

As i died just when you got done with breakfast OMEGALUL

split vapor
#

time is only an illusion

thick mist
#

My scav has suppressed AKM with no stock, no dust cover

#

Nice

split vapor
#

its probably gonna be the 366 version

thick mist
#

No don't say that :(

strange mural
#

im thinking of doing a woods nvg run for 15 scav kills

marble latch
#

yey, killed a dude and snatched an M4 from him

strange mural

should i go silenced or just use the hunter

thick mist

Silenced or no balls

split vapor

@brisk mortar kat boi

brisk mortar

Neeehhh, got people coming over

split vapor

meh

#

so they can wait

brisk mortar
#

Need to clean and cook

split vapor
#

cook next week

brisk mortar
#

Got time for a raid or two tho

split vapor
#

good you are voluntold to get on

strange mural
#

you dont actually need mags for mocin right necessarily?

#

mosin

split vapor
#

not for the woods and monte stock ones

strange mural
thick mist
#

You can just load each bullet manually

#

Make sure it has an internal mag at least though

#

Also I feel like sticking to the Vepr is a major crutch but they're so cheap ugh

boreal inlet
#

LF Duo pistolruns at Interchange orsmth, bank worth 0, have 0 equpiments

split vapor
#

adar

marble latch
#

whats the point of maps?

brisk mortar
#

There is none.

waxen forge
#

There is no point

thick mist
#

You used to be able to select spawn with them

#

But now there's none

brisk mortar
#

BSG admits their broken, but the wikis exists, so it's not something their focused on fixing atm.

thick mist
split vapor
#

There was a point to ingame maps but there was a chance that everyone could spawn at one side of the map

thorny pecan
#

is there a way to sneak past scavs

#

or just avoid them in general

#

even in the dark they have like heat vision or some shite

marble latch
#

okay, I'll try to sell the map then, thanks!

thick mist
#

Pretty much no way besides creep walking behind solid cover

marble latch
#

it's been harder to manage my loot and stash than actually playing the game

thick mist
#

Yeah haha

strange mural
#

tetris is a hard goddamn game.

thick mist
#

Honestly a good 75% of the game can be spent in the stash/trading depending on how you play

bold kernel
#

any map recommendations when starting out? i kept dying in factory

strange mural
#

factory is hell

thick mist
#

Do not play Factory as a beginner

strange mural
#

people recommend woods and shore

marble latch
#

I liked Customs when I started cause it was easy to understand

bold kernel
#

there was like 4 scavs on my butt and lost all my beginner's stuff

marble latch
#

been playing a bunch of Shoreline now and it's also cool

bold kernel
#

kk ill take a gander at those maps

thick mist
#

I'd say Woods or Customs even though it's a shit map god I hate that map it's completely ruined by the extremely limiting chokepoints that you're forced to go through and get camped often

marble latch
#

the thing about shoreline is I feel like you need to have a scope of some sort

#

never tried woods

bold kernel
#

kk ill keep that in mind homie

strange mural
#

woods is very very empty

thick mist
#

Shoreline is where you go if you don't want to run into any PMC's haha

#

Shoreline is MASSIVE

bold kernel
#

ill try out shoreline right now

frail pine
#

This game sucks.

#

Because I don't play anything else 😄

strange mural
#

shoreline is insanely big honestly

normal abyss
#

same lmao

thick mist
#

Just be careful near the central resort because that's where everyone likes to go

bold kernel
#

@strange mural so customs then?

frail pine
#

shoreline is spooky ;_;

#

im sure its haunted

waxen forge
#

Yup. same. Only put about an hour into REd Dead because of the EFT addiction

marble latch
#

I like doing the circle around next to the wall

#

you get to a bunch of crates and they usually have good loot

thick mist
#

@bold kernel I'd do Customs simply because that's where most of the beginner quests are

bold kernel
#

okie dokes

#

thanks man

marble latch
#

customs is also easy to understand, it was where I got the first hang of the game and didn't feel like an idiot

frail pine
#

EFT like every raid is different,and exfilling with tons of loot nmever gets old

thick mist
#

If you somehow impossibly end up liking it beyond all reason then great

frail pine
#

yeah i ran customs untill i learned the map by heart, but I think interchange is easier

strange mural
#

time for my first nvg run.

floral pelican
#

Customs from what I can tell has the highest spawn rate for flash drive too

strange mural
#

see you in a minute

thick mist
#

Go Snut go

strange mural
frail pine
#

nvg nice

#

i tried night time raid once, too many scarey pmcs tho

#

it was like some seal team 6 shit ;_;

bold kernel
#

hopefully i can at least get some decent loot and make it to the extraction point 😅

thick mist
#

I've been powerslided by Killa too many times to recommend Interchange to beginners lmao

#

I guess if you stay out of the central mall it's not too bad

frail pine
#

ah yup

#

Oli is good loot tho

#

yup

spare juniper
#

This game sure is rough

frail pine
#

rough but addictive

thick mist
#

Yeah, it's not beginner friendly whatsoever

bold kernel
#

that's the beauty of it though

frail pine
#

i have more kills in this than pubg (i suck at fps pvp)

#

i think i just got cheap kills xD

bold kernel
#

I'm the total opposite

#

i do well in fps pvp

thick mist
#

In this game you just have to be cheeky

bold kernel
#

but BRs i suck butt

#

a cheeky duck walking hooman

frail pine
#

my lowest momment when I dropped loot in road and baited someone then killed them ;_;

thick mist
#

Unless you're a PvP god then the best way to kill people is to sneak around and camp popular spots as cancerous as it is

bold kernel
#

you sicko

frail pine
#

also the guns feel soo good

thick mist
#

Yeah the gunplay is really amazing

bold kernel
#

the sound design for them is also very nice

frail pine
#

I played a quick pubg match last night,just hated the feel of pubg guns

#

ah yup

thick mist
#

Until you learn how insanely broken the weapon skills are in this game :)

#

Or player skills in general lmao

bold kernel
#

hearing them reload is like asmr to me

strange mural
#

yeah

#

skills are huge.

frail pine
#

is it worth to just keep using the same gun tolevel the skill?

thick mist
#

Nah weapon mastery does nothing I don't think

#

Just for show

strange mural
#

around what time does it actually become dark in tarkov?

#

starting at 20?

frail pine
#

ah col

thick mist
#

Generally around 20-21 yeah

#

But yeah, to level the generic Recoil Control skill, you just need to shoot

#

Any gun, any caliber

frail pine
#

ah right

thick mist
#

Over and over

rancid hawk
#

emplacements do the deal just fine

thick mist
#

Which I hate because it severely punishes players that like controlled semi-auto weapons and rewards those who constantly mag dump

rancid hawk
#

alert everybody to your presence tho

thick mist
#

For the specific weapon type skills though, Assault Rifle, Sniper, SMG, etc, you need to either hit enemies or put a round into the chamber to level the skill

rancid hawk
#

operate the gun basically

thick mist
#

At max level Recoil Control and whatever respective weapon class skill combined give a total of 55% recoil reduction

outer remnant
#

seems like no black friday sale, feelsbadman

rich cloak
#

Black Friday is the 29 tho

outer remnant
#

nope its usually 23 each year for EFT

rich cloak
#

Oh

#

My bad

outer remnant
#

its fine, easy mistake

neon jasper
#

as val op

rancid hawk
#

they might say: Oh, we already done a sale though! When we were pushing 0.12 out

outer remnant
#

yeah true

thick mist
#

So not only are higher leveled players more experienced with game knowledge, have better gear, have better weapons and ammo, but they also just innately have less recoil than new players which is kinda bullshit imo lmao.

neon jasper
#

not really

#

i like the skill system

frail pine
#

mosin > all

#

all i need is a balaclava and a mosin D:

thorny pecan
#

why are people camping extract spots

neon jasper
#

was rocking an altyn and level 4 armour one time, basic mosin loaded with 7n1 1 tapped me to the thorax

thorny pecan
#

wtf

#

thats so stupid aaa

thick mist
#

They made the skill system pretty much impossible unless you either no-life the game or spend hundreds of millions of roubles cheesing it

outer remnant
#

but it works

neon jasper
#

which extract @thorny pecan

thorny pecan
#

emercom checkpoint

rich cloak
#

@thorny pecan because it works

thick mist
#

Also yeah extract campers are the lowest form of scum in Tarkov lmao

#

It works, but you're a piece of shit for doing it

outer remnant
#

nah dropping loot is worse

thorny pecan
#

literally sit there for 20 minutes until someone comes running

#

and the person running is prob someone low on health and trying to dip

outer remnant
#

should expect it though

thorny pecan
#

and u just tap them once

frail pine
#

emercom is always camped i found

ruby fox
#

anybody know what the best 5.7x28 ammo is?

rich cloak
#

It's quite effective because playerscav who spawn with keycarda usually dip as soon as they spawn

outer remnant
#

i have a solution for your problem

thick mist
#

SB193

#

@ruby fox

outer remnant
#

camp the camper camping

ruby fox
#

ok thanks

outer remnant
#

np bro

neon jasper
#

camp the camper

thick mist
#

He was talking to me huh

frail pine
#

if i have a usually throw it near emercon exfil

rich cloak
#

Nono just play reserve where extracts suck anyways kappist

outer remnant
#

he kills the guy running to extract, you kill the camper

frail pine
#

nade*

i love sniping from observatory

#

makes me feel like god

outer remnant

frail pine
#

m700 remington?

neon jasper
#

nah svd

frail pine
#

ohhh nice

thick mist
#

Yeah I'd much rather have a DMR than bolt in this game

neon jasper
#

^

outer remnant
#

guys, remember theres a solution for everything

thick mist
#

Never know if you're going to get a BS arm shot or ricochet something

outer remnant
#

remember me

frail pine
#

do you think they will ever add IED's / mines?

thick mist
#

They did

marble latch
#

how do you reload a mosin? it keeps saying I can't reload or unload because it has an internal mag

blazing yew
#

just make sure the rounds are in your rig or pocket

#

and then reload

thick mist
#

There's a minefield on Shoreline I think?

frail pine
#

oh wow

thick mist
#

Also yeah are your rounds in tactical rig or pockets?

#

Also, if your Mosin says 4/5 that means it's full

#

4 in mag and 1 in chamber

marble latch
#

they are yeah, it keeps saying "slot is not empty" when I drag the bullets over the weapon

#

it has 2/5

rancid hawk
#

Ronald, you in stash?

marble latch
#

y

thick mist
#

Oh you can't manually load a Mosin

rancid hawk
#

Take the internal magazine out of the gun and fill it

thick mist
#

Unless you take the internal mag out when out of raid

blazing yew
#

Inspect it then unload the internal mag if you are in your stash

#

if you are in raid then you just make sure the ammo is in your tac rig or pockets

marble latch
#

ohhhh

#

I see

#

so do I always need to remove it before adding the bullets?

rancid hawk
#

practically the same with SKS with internal mag

blazing yew
#

only in stash

rancid hawk
#

You add bullets into the magazine, not in the gun

thick mist
neon jasper
#

i found that out the hard way

marble latch
#

during raid I can reload it normally? just by pressing R as long as I have the bullets?

neon jasper
#

i thought someone was shooting explosive bullets at me lmao

rancid hawk
#

that place is pretty easy to avoid tho

blazing yew
#

@marble latch yes

thick mist
#

Sike

rancid hawk
#

@marble latch in raid you do it like any other gun pressing R, given that you have ammo in your pockets or tactical rig, backpack or secure container won't do.

marble latch
#

maybe I had the bullets in my backpack during the raid and didn't notice, thanks!

thick mist
#

If your Mosin is at 4/5 you can keep reloading it and all it does is eject the round in the chamber and load in a new one, so try not to do that haha

#

Unless you're trying to cheese the Sniper skill

rancid hawk
#

the ejected round still appears at your feet tho

#

pick it back up

#

300 rubles after all

#

something like that

thick mist
#

Well yeah, but still dropping rounds if you don't know

#

I remember I did that a bunch until I realized lmao

rancid hawk
#

Mosling droppings lmao

marble latch
#

yeah I got it now, thanks!

#

trying to make sense of my stash now, I don't have space for anything

#

and I don't know what to throw away, cause everything I check online tells me I need all the items lol

strange mural
#

boys finished my nvg

#

lets just say

#

i did good

#

guy tried to shoot me but i was geared to the teeth

#

is the belt a belt + gear rig a armor/rig combo?

bold kernel
#

sell the easy to find stuff. money makes space and more raids easy

less time raiding is less progress

strange mural
#

yep

frail pine
#

what armor did u use?

strange mural
#

assault iirc

#

oh nah

#

it wasnt no goddamn assault

#

its some t6

marble latch

waow

just spawned in a raid, I can move my character but can't press any buttons

#

@strange mural belt a+belt b ?

strange mural
#

yeah

#

its a really big rig

normal bear
#

Its just a double belt+suspenders system

steady pendant
#

best way to make money?

normal bear
#

Something like wartech belt+suspenders

#

@steady pendant labs, inter tech stores, rezerv queen

steady pendant

No

what about keys

Hunter+scavbp+triton>>>tech stores>>>>you kill any degen you meet and maybe even geared guys and get easy 500k in 10 minutes

Hatcheting isnt the best way cause gamma size is a joke lul

normal abyss
#

ok

how about

normal bear
#

And they removed the speed buff

normal abyss
#

you do some interchange runs

steady pendant
#

i got an alpha

normal abyss

I do pistol runs on reserve

Ye... yikes

normal abyss

for an hour

#

and we'll see who has more money by the end of things

normal bear
#

???

#

I said

steady pendant
#

i load in 2-5 min late on reserve

normal bear
#

Rezerv queen

#

Inter tech stores

#

And labs

And I guess you dont want to do labs either

steady pendant
#

i die

normal bear

Sooo inter tech stores it is

steady pendant

so fast

normal abyss

inter tech is the least busy
