It would be nice if they added more to it to connect RUAF to old gas and add another option
I meant the opposite direction you're talking about but yea I'll just slow it down I think, and keep practicing retreats
that would be amazing tbh
You can always go the entire raid without the need to actually fight anyone
as a pmc? sometimes I can get away with that but that rotation to zb 11 from trailer park basically forces me to lol
Yeah, may get in a path of an ai or 2
just hug the left wall you will rarely see someone late raid
There is the path from zb11 jump the fence to zb12 move though the factory area and do the wall jump next to the checkpoint cut through and move in to the construction area and around
finished a raid few moments ago PMC started in trainyard had to kill 3 scavs on my way to zb-1011 all 3 of them around the bus terminal
one of them was a player
that totally looked like a bot
was even surprised it was a player
some players like the scav act
yep
It can be pretty effective
I killed four scavs at that exact spot last raid lol
yeah that point is dangerous as fuck
Bus depot typically likes to have a few in there and around back in the woods
also learning customs
already know most of it with the palm of my hand besides spawns and extractions
Customs does have a few possible spawn locations for the key
only know about 50% of extracts so far
Which you can see the key locations on the wiki with pictures n stuff
found the 303 key on a scav last raid
There are two spawn locations in the Old Gas area that can spawn just about any item in the game
@robust jackal I'm about same rn lol learning scav spawns especially on west side of map
One in the station and one out back near the tree next to the med bag
after i'm comfortable in customs will try learning shoreline
buys 10k rounds of 545 fmj
heard there are some gud med spawns there
shoreline is decent but you need the keys to get the good stuff
im probably doing that one or interchange tbh
interchange looks like it will be a pain to learn
all the more reason to do it now lol
IC has the easiest to access weapon crates and stuff
Every time i do interchange idek where the hell im going

Then i get killed by killa

crazy spots
and the layout itself
although it does seem to be a pretty fun map to play when you do learn it
I think its good to get in game time to understand where that actual hotspots are
Be a lil stealthy boy and take shots when it counts
Its really useful to quickly learn how to orient yourself from the outside so you can get better at reading the maps
i'm yet to die while looting although last raid it almost happened
fucking pot helmet saved my ass
from a scav ai shotgun
any good place to get Salewa kits?
found one in the gas station on customs but that's it
^
need paid
A common spawn is the car below checkpoint
If you want to find them, on customs there is a blue car with a blue jacket that spawns meds next to the tower with sniper in it
i can only trade those
From Flea
oh one lvl away
It is easier to buy them than find them
sweet
I still havent done the first therapist quest
Most of the early quest items should be cheap to get now

have 420k and lots of weapons to sell
says i have 1.4 million on stash

those hideouts upgrades not worth worrying about early on right?
The Bed, med station, heating, kitchen are
Basically the 6 or so things that are instant to build you should get
does a red extract mean i cant use it
yes
Depends what exit is it
If it’s the vehicle exit then yeah you can’t just it
But any normal always open exit still works
Sometimes the timer may not pop up
how come i can only load one bullet
in mosin?
i used to be able to load 5 for some reason
Did you forget to put the internal mag back in
Idk what that is
its the magazine
you have to double click the mosin
and take it out and load it
then put it back in
can someone please help me with quests
im getting really frustrated cause i cant get any done
@split vapor whats the mosin inter called
Whats the best 556 nato round\
m995
m955
i hired a sherpa but they dindt accept or whatever and ive been trying to complete my quests solo but i just cant lol
what quests?
supply plans, eagle eye, vitamins pt 1, chummin, farming pt 3, database pt 1, and health care privacy pt 2
im so close to level 28 but im at a wall
if i upgrade from standard edition to edge of darkness, does it just give me all of the other stuff thats included in that and i get to keep my same stuff / character / level? i dont want to lose my stuff but id like to buy the EOD edition
it wipes your account i think
i think
where did u read that
on the site it says you get your new items in a message
i just want to be sure
well if it says it on the website then thats what happens
Is there a reason I didn’t get the items I looted as a scav? I survived but didn’t get anything except what my load out
i cant survive going to sawmill to get the docs case this is so goddamn annoying
@simple topaz upgrading does not reset you
sweeeet
btw @split vapor i had a sherpa request in yesterday but i didnt get anyone 😦 if i put in another do you have any sherpa time available this evening? i'm level 10
i put in a sherpa request but i iddnt get anyone
i saw your rating on the sherpa rankings haha '
as well
There’s no need to put in another your request is still there
fock
just lost an awesome run
at least saved the key
scav on the extraction and for some reason my bullets don't go thourgh the fence but theirs sure
got killed by an official sherpa and would like to ask how many rounds of 9mm did you eat
How do you rotate an item
R
R when you click and drag an item
Ty ty
I’m running out of space I need some weapon cases ):
Nah just sell stuff
That’s sad
If you just learned how to rotate things you're nowhere near needing weapon cases haha
Try removing extranneous attachments and sell those on flea on their own and sell the standard weapon on its own
You can also remove pistol grips from guns to halve their space
Should max liquidizing your weapons
Hrnggggg thanks
is it ok to find a group for customs? as a newbie? or better to solo it?
@median forge u can join me and this other guy if u want
I did a couple runs with a sherpa then I started soloing it
ok but im inside at the moment as scav
Anyone willing to jump on and show me the basics
Also like jump in a call
Bc I died with my gun
ya sure
Alright.
5 min into the game already a guy inside the building camping scav checkpoint
And two players in depot

What’s a sherpa?
@spare juniper
Understandable
Gotta do two decent scav runs now
Heh
Tarkov giveth
Tarkov Taketh
Half of my day was great but now i'm just getting fucked in the butt.
Luv it
Having Dayz and Arma flashbacks
YUP. One day I go to woods and don't die, other times, i die.
heh
any english speaking beginners wanna team up?
Too late at night 4 me can't really speak without waking up someone otherwise would take your offer.
@acoustic timber im done, i can join now 😄
ALRIGHT
guys is this HOURS : MINUTES ?
because fuck i've been waiting in que for WAY longer then for that to be in MINUTES : seconds
@spare juniper
Sherpa are players who are willing to give their time to help folk get used to the game, you can make offical sherpa request or you can simply lurk around the discord at times.
I perosonally do sherpa things through the discord on a "walk in" sorta deal, but am having ISP issues atm.

Had a decent scav run did make up for my last death
@vivid bough sometimes you just get unlucky
Thanks for the info
Had a 5 min waiting time in Miami usually take 2 or less
Tarkov has any lvl or skill based MM? Highest lvl i killed was 16 i think
@simple topaz feel like selling me a gamma since your upgrading>
You got a close friend that plays tarkovc
@robust jackal Matchmaking is purely ping based
and if i reset my acct i'll lose all of my loot and rubles
Do you have a close friend that plays tarkov
You can give him all your shit, then sell the gamma, and then reset and you get it back
not gonna go back to level 1
Your account does not reset when you upgrade
or risk losing my stuff in an unsuccessful raid exit lol
^
@vernal anchor i just upgraded it and got my new loot but my stash didnt upgrade so i cant get my loot from the mailbox
@vernal anchor ty
i logged out and back in and used CCleaner etc and still have standard stash size
Have you checked the stash hideout module
` \
'[[
will look in hideout
@dull cave so in some time my stash will just get randomly bigger even though i already got the mail message with my starter loot?
Pretty new to this game, anybody wanna help me out?
ah
@upbeat cypress I could help ya
well the mail was instant so i figured
What traders should I try and get up first, they are all lvl one for me rite now
Sweet
cmerc it might take a few hours or it might never happen. Either way, you should contact @ gtb79 in a few hours, he should be able to get you into contact with a community manager. Or contact support
I just got loads of good stuff and I extracted but the game now says that I’m still in a raid and I need to reconnect
Will I loose my stuff if I put “leave”
@dull cave okay
@brisk mortar any input on the waiting for stash size to change from an upgrade?
@sharp garden yes probably
I was going to suggest Merc to mail BSG Support
I was just a lttle indesposed, cause I'm trying to find where bsg stores their crash dump files, not just the text files.
@vivid bough yeah I just kept hitting reconnect until I got to the main menu finally
thanks
yeah dont assume
once I deliberately wanted to restart the game because the inventory of an old bag i opened was preventing me from looting a guy I killed but accidently "exited" all the way
oof
there is no restart only ALT-F4 for future refrence
what keycard is needed to go in labs?
what is yellow, red, blue for?
kk, thanks
how should i deal with running out of room in my inventory if i don't have enough money for containers? just keep selling shit?
yes money will become your inventory
buy the stuff you need before a raid and sell everything else is how the guys do it with 20x20 inventory or whatever
selling things you do not directly use often ( such as face covers in my case) will help declutter your stuff.
Things like weapon sights and stuff you use often are handy to keep due to the large Space to cost ratio vs things like armor or rigs .
imo*
so should i sell rigs and armor and just buy before raids and keep sights, etc. on hand?
depensd.
if im low on cash ill sell everything but keep sights and juust go in with a basic chest rig
if its paca armor i generally sell it
I will keep sights cause thats a free 10k that i will eventually have to buy for my gun
That's how I play tbh, I might keep 1 or 2 rigs handy but other than that I just sell em
sights an attachments I use commonly are kept, but everything else really gets liquidated ( other than weapon builds)
ight thanks for tips 👍
I just came back to the game after being gone for about 8 months. I just killed the boss on Customs plus his 4 goons. Yet...somehow it only recorded 1 kill? I was in the raid for 31 minutes, and only got 130 exp? I'm confused; has something changed?
@open glacier
There is a bug that displays prior raid events
I've had a team mate die from me even though i haddn't fired, or even TKed him in months.
(he got killed by someone else)
Interesting lol. Thanks for the info xD
Yee its strange. you'll get the correct EXP outside the menu from my experince though
I was about to be SUPER sad, too. But you were right. I went from just being into level 2 to being half way through level 5. Good stuff! ❤️
Where does the exp you get from scav go?
to your scav
not really
they can patrol in the field between the checkpoint and gas station, and up to the power pole area
but that's about it
hi, so im at gunsmith part 2. i modified the ak with the help of a tutorial, why cant i turn it in?
i think you have to fold it
for Delivery From the Past i did the Customs part and then did some other raids (and died of course). now it seems like i have to redo the Customs pickup again?
yes
you pick up item
it in inventory
you dont do factory part of quest
die
no longer in inventory
any new players wanna team up
Odd i cant see the LFG room
you have to accept the rules
@runic mural should be good now
It is, thank you appreciate it
Everyone in this server a dick or? Id think people would be keen to help new players, guess i was wrong lol
There are a decent number of folk willing to help, but you're dealing with the internet afterall
^ true fucking that
anyone knows why this quest is not completing ? do I have to find the shot in the raids?
Nah man tbh im just irritated going solo and lfg and just got dealing with some pricks so. appreciate it tho
@willow pebble double check the quest text, it will explictatly say "find in raid" if that's required.
@runic mural
I feel ya, hang about and chat on the main gen chat, you'll find some decent folks to play with.
Forsure man, appreciate it
can someone help me get some loot
if your PMC dies you do not lose your scabbard item, correct?
Correct
@willow pebble if I had to guess it’d be the extended mag part, that says 4/4 ammo right?
@dense lotus got a quest question too if you're up for it, confused on something
Dm me 🙂
@strong trout yeah I put the 4 rounds mag
The description says you need an extended mag, so If I remember correctly it has to have a capacity of 6 or more
It doesn’t need to be found in raid so you can just cop it from the flee market
Ah
I tried with the 6 mag but didn't work
But I confused 6 cells with 4 mag
Will try the 6 mag later, thanks
What are you trying to do mathox?
np, everything else looks fine tho, ergo, recoil, cell size and laser sight conditions are all met
@ruby sedge Gunsmith part 1 for mechanic
@willow pebble try taking off the sight, it's not required
I mean you should anyway, you don’t get anything by adding extra attachments so you can use it for your own weapons or sell it separately
You also don’t have to fill the magazine or chamber with ammo either
Oh just noticed the magazine is too small :p just read what u guys wrote
any difference between Salewa and CarMed other than that Salewa gives more HP?
@upper sky Salewa provides up to 85 HP/heal (15 more than CAR) and stops bleeding for less HP
A lot more use from Salewa I guess, more heals per use too.. it beats the ifak
kk thx guys. so just sell Car since i can craft Salewa
I'm hoping I can use Car meds to craft something better at the med station
med station lv2 uses Car to make pile of meds
i saw people getting random loot from a scav box, how do i get this box?
How’s everyone doing
@bold kernel through hideout upgrades
You need quiet a lot upgraded, the main thing is Intel center level 2, then you craft the “Scav Case”
thanks for the info
Np mate!
from what i've seen the scav box rarely pays off
oh not the box/container itself, he's talking about the hideout upgrade where you can basically slot machine cash or moonshine to have SCAVs bring you stuff
Tbh scav case has been epic for me
I may have been extremely lucky, but I’ve gotten vpx, 2 2.5million keys and generally a bunch of good stuff
immediate ejaculation
OK
wooo, my first killa kill.
got his legs too, so pristine helmet/armor as well
he doesn't seem to handle corners well, just sorta stared at me while I shot him
same with a lot of the ai, they leave an arm or leg poking around a corner or under something and you shoot it. they just sit there and let you kill them
good job though, i have never killed him
@upper sky pay the 6k option
Hello, I just completed the first task. Debut. I turned in 2 shotguns and killed 5 scavs
where do I collect the reward?
Oh. messenger
can anyone tell me where dorms v-ex extract is
i went behind the dorms all over and could not find the extract
It is the car by the red gates near 3 story dorms @gilded tusk it may have gone already perhaps?
are you PMC or SCAV?
to directly answer your question, it's against the wall directly across from the West dorm, there's a gate there (and a car if the extract is still available as PMC)
once someone takes it, it is gone
if you're a SCAV you can still extract from there once the car is gone (if it's on your list of extracts)
ok cool
but as PMC yea, no car = no extract
also, as PMC you need to have 3k rubles with you FYI
scav box is worth it, i have gotten few things well over a mill 🙂
Are these A2607 knives with the wooden handles used for anything besides trading in for MP5s?
can the customs tanker key be bought from the flea market?
for prapors quest
for the pocket watch
how do you find out what exit to use? 'O' only displays time
Thanks
Very fast
@undone hazel yes
so what sights do yall run on the hunter
monstrum
@past lodge you need ten of the knives for a quest
oh thats the pro streamer scope aint it
dunno. i just like it.
@strange mural PSO mainly
no weird mounting needed
any of the scopes where you need a rail end up being 3 feet off the top of the rifle
could use a cobra as well
anyone wanna play with me and teach me what im doing
@long shale whats the name of it
I am doing my own solo raids rn but I can answer questions here or in voice chat
turbo if you wanna raid later lmk
im gonna take the monstrum out for a roll
its quite a bit more expensive but

been using cobra so far
im pretty new and need some help with learning the game
brother has played so i have some items etc just dont know really anything about game
@ me to play
Welcome to Tarkov @orchid ore check out the #521628660298678283 and #news-setup channels to unlock the rest of the server
@dense lotus thanks. I have just been collecting them. Have 15 atm.
So at the standard edition. Even just only after 2 play sessions, I am running out of space.
How do I upgrade the stash?
Through the hideout @past lodge
Yo, is somone up to play some duos? I am new to this game and I get shredded every single round :/
@past lodge np buddy, dm me if your ever stuck and need help
what's the ACOG like on the M4?
I like it, but I feel it goes underused a lot of the time
General feedback says the 320 valday is one of the more preferred optics
i have 2 unused m4 in inven and found an acog... so i may just take it for a spin (and lose it without regret)
Nice, I’m 99% sure you need to buy a mount for the acog (unless your m4 has a carry handle, if so I think it just slots on)
yea one is standard so it has the carry handle but i bet it looks like ass
I'm having an issue with tarkov not opening, I click play, it loads but it's not responding, then the whole desktop becomes unclickable
Probably, I’d check it out in the shooting range first
don't have a shooting range (yet). will run it offline first 🙂
Try to Ctrl alt del, task manager, and end the process of eft
I have that some times
task manager is not clickable even lol
I did many times
ah.. then yea.. reinstall? out of my depth at that point
Sadly I have a second monitor, and when this bug happens.. I CAN click on my other monitor. But my primary is pretty much in responsive, I get that blue windows loading cursor
Unresponsive *
@strange mural define later
take a couple pot shots at two guys on Customs bridge. turns out it's a 4man squad... hah
Insta-regret-noodles
Damn I can’t explain.. if I was at home I would link the map and circle it.. sorry
It’s near the man hole
If Im thinking of the right one
The one below the dome building
It's listed as "CP Fence" on maps
And I've watched YT videos, but I'm not extracting when I reach the location described
It’s like.. where the guard tower is
Just near the corner
If you look directly at the lil tower, manhole is on the right, cp is on the left
Must be bugged in my session
Maybe
I got out manhole just fine, weird
hrmm ive removed the front sight from the adar and its red, will it still work?
no results for that
The M4 and ADAR front sight is also the gas block. But it interfered with optics so removing it and replacing with MK12
Try just MK12
there we go, thx 🙂
No problem
went into a raid with the original one and a reflex, couldnt see shit 😄
Yea it gets in the way for certain
found this mark the tanks interchange task has the added benefit of catching loot goblins exiting interchange, loot on the vine 
Multitasking 😉
those 3 SCAVs that sometimes spawn in Customs West Dorms, those are not the boss bodyguards right?
May be. Rashala and his guards can be in either dorm or new gas.
really? they were pretty easy
how geared is Rashala?
the three had no armor, best gun was an ADAR
Rashala wears a brown leather jacket....
He depends on his guards.
Oh..no armor doesn't sound like his guards though.
np
I will never complain about the scav case ever again
Just snagged a red rebel pick :p
I work in a casino, it's better odds on a damn slot machine lol
whats the standard for 5.56x45 ammo?
starting my collection 🙂
M856a1 for cost effective m995 for best in slot
855a1 is pretty decent too right?
Keep in mind tho snutri the m856a1 are tracers
ohhhh
@strange mural dont use anything worse than 856a1
^
Alt+W holds the gun over your head, what's to do the same around a corner?
anybody know what the best shotgun shell is for 12x70?
@upper sky alt+q or alt+e
@shy nexus tried that but it did slow lean and then locked me into the lean. i'll have another try at it 🙂
If you want to blind fire shoot round the corner it is alt+s, it only works round to the left though due to the ejection ports on the weapons @upper sky
alt+q/e is slow lean
@rose echo roger that, thanks. don't want hot brass in your face i guess ...
Exactly 😉
just imagining that actually happening lol
attention to detail in this game is incredible
PMC screams out "Ahh hot hot" lol
can't wait until they add brass hitting the floor and associated sounds
"Ahhh...!! My eyes..!!"
is SKS a decent sniper once you get optics on it?
SKS used to be really good. Now I would choose other options over it
i like the SKS because people keep leaving it for my insurance to pick up. That's without a scope of course
haha
I'm a fan of the sks, I wouldn't use it for any real long range sniping
ironsights on taht thing make me angry
Well i did kill a full geared guy yesterdat with like 4 Sks shots even though he got me pretty bad first.
what are the best dorm keys other than marked room?
For the 2 story
114, 105, guard room
3 story, 214 204
Those are the ones I usually hit, just some safes
cool thx
Got the machinery key yesterday where do i use it?
honestly thinking about just buying Factory key for Customs because choke points on Customs are so rough
It's the quest key for the pocket watch alpaca
@robust jackal for the quest?
In customs construction area, a big gasoline truck
just jump the fence next to the checkpoint, it's just as good as the shortcut
Agreed
@robust jackal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9gOSmW3wUM
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
this video explains it
save the key for later
Okay
It's just for the quest, very cheap and common key
Ty
@analog lotus 600k for one key though... ugh
How do i level ragman to lvl 2? I need to spend 1m (or sell 1m worth of stuff) but i dont know whats good to sell/buy
What's that hole in the wall right next scav checkpoimt called?
@robust jackal Admin Gate?
dunno if it's still good, but I've been buying triton rigs from flea market and selling them back to him. Also buying green helmets and headsets for raids
@stable rose he buys any clothing and armor that isn't too damaged, I like doing what syriac did
Just browse the flea market for cheaper listing equipment and sell to him
Or take the hit and buy and sell back to him
Anyone here know if you can use cliff descent with a armored rig? Since it specifies body armor
@bold kernel & @stable rose do you need some assistance?
It is coming along @ruby sedge 😄
^~^
yeah, how do you know how to get lvl 2 ragman quickly?
Like what should i be looting in raids to sell to him? need to get 1m sales and i've got like 17k
he doesnt buy anything like guns etc
and i want to keep most of my armor cos he rips you off
buiy and sell from him
Buy things then sell them back to him, it's costly but the quickest way
ahh okay, cheers
I don't sell to him as I can make more $ selling to Therapist>Skier>Mechanic
any sherpa willing to help me get some quests done atm?
or anyone? im level 27 and im at a wall lol
Is there a chart that shows what each lvl of thew traders unlocks so i can see if its worth?
having trouble doing any quests solo
But you can also just buy something from him and sell it right back to him. You lose on the transaction but it gets the # up
@stable rose wiki pages about traders have their stocks
@bitter abyss what are you stuck on atm?
chumming, supply plans, land lease, database pt 1, punisher pt 1
and more
im like stuck on doing any because i just keep dying
Night raids are you friend for quest
ive done night raids
And no
and i die from the shadows
Pick up a cheap night vision and chill for a bit let the raid developer
Night raids on inter are worse than day dude
I would say it's worth it to unlock all traders @stable rose
I mean in general kirk
Wasn't saying interchange
Cause chumming or some other shit quest requires late time kills
yeah but honestly i think i need help cause doign these solo is just annoying as fuck
i need to go to the sawmill to get a gyroscope and docs case
and then i gotta go on shoreline to find the other motor controller and gyroscope, gotta buy the keys
🙆
yeah that quest is brutal for keys
yeah, its not too bad but if you dont have much
agreed
Even tho its 3 manifests
normally i can actually get inside the mall but i just die before i get in now
It leads to very easy quests
Database 2 is literally in and out 7 mins
your best friend is speed on interchange first couple minutes
is oli the middl;e one or the opposite side
i always go in the back of oli for the industrial spawns in the back of it
Green
i think i know where oli is
i know where idea is
idk about the last one
idk wher the last manifest is
Goshan manifest is in an office
Its the kostin side office
If u walk through tents its on the left
In an office on a desk
why do people love oli
Shop
whats there
Moneu
oli has good industrial spawns
i got most of my hideout shit from there in the beginning of the wipe
Its pure fucking money

interchange rn is fat for cash
anybody wanna do runs with a noob rn
No
I can run you again there snutri
your the finish guy right?
you guys wanna do trio? @ruby sedge
Idk why I put a PSO scope on my AK literally hopped in customs and got into a gunfight with a PMC 2 feet away from me and couldn’t see shit lmao
I’ve learned Customs what’s another good map to memorize?
Interchange
Lots of task items in various stores, several tasks on the map, and tons of loot not behind locked doors
Best value item for restoring thirst and hunger?
I just drink everything I find in raid
Or hold it if I'm at like 90% until I'm around 50%
I'll snag a lunchbox in raid here and there and drop it in stash and eat if I need it.
Lunchbox in damn near every weapons crate.
If you are really effed up just run your scav on a nice long scav run and you should be back to good by the time the raid is over.
Cool thanks
just had a very weird raid. pushed into dorms 3 story. reshala is there. kill one guard, another runs away, other people are there, they kill the other, i kill one of them another pmc pushes me. i scav back in and the dude took all buddies stuff besides armor. Ive never seen someone take literally all of his firends stuff
I just bought this game last night. I continuously die to Scavs despite unloading magazines into them. I do kill some, but it seems like no matter what I do I just can't get the hang of killing them effectively. They seem like invincible terminators compared to me. Anyone have any tips on how to effectively deal with them and not be so surprised by them all the time? I'm mainly playing offline on Customs right now.
Lucky Scav Junk Box is the first big item I buy every wipe
With Hideouts now I have 2 junk boxes.
@crude stag Good ammo makes a big difference.
also
Also this game is different than all others. 24 hours of play you will still suck and die a ton (not personal). Tarkov takes a lot of experience and is a STEEP learning curve.
one headshot gets rid of them
if they don't have helmets and most don't
start aiming for the head
lucky scav junkbox should be bought fast ye
Looking for a sherpa or team to help me with woods scav kills. anyone interested?
most important storage item
I watched this 40-minute beginner's guide on the game, the guy in that video said not to bring anything into an offline raid that you wouldn't bring into an online raid, and that as a beginner you should only bring a pistol and some meds. Does that sound right?
bud
Oh well no wonder I'm having so much trouble
he's speaking from a new player experience
Vital to get headshots with pistol
so sometiems ya gotta bring a pistol
depends one of the first things i did was to sell almost all the pistols they give you to start with
Looking for a sherpa or team to help me with woods scav kills. anyone interested?
and it would help to get your aim down if you went in offline and practiced on scavs
there are many cheap guns you can buy to easily deal with scavs too
from whomst though
Adar rekts them
Fresh wipe I rarely run a pistol.
FM?
I've been playing shooters since the original DOOM came out, I've played tons of ARMA 2 and 3, and I have never felt as useless as I do in EFT lol
@crude stag first five raids i did i kept dying to scavs
but no harm learning how to use pistols
also scavs will rush you so get some distance between you and them
and do peek the same place twice
hold corners too
Yeah I noticed they rush pretty crazily haha
Hello can someone exsperienced play a game or 2 with me show me the basics
Here is my advice to new people @crude stag RESET EXPECTATIONS from how you do in other shooters. Good at FPS? Doesn 't matter here. You will die a lot in the beginning. Experience is king.
Cool, thanks
@spiral jay I can get you into a voice call
Ok
but me and another are doing quests rn
Is it worth continuing to practice in offline raids to learn to deal with Scavs effectively or should I just jump into online?
offline is great for practicing against scavs
Looking for a sherpa or team to help me with woods scav kills. anyone interested?
Ofline is fine. Need to learn maps, scav behavior, where stuff spawns.
OK cool. And should I keep restricting my offline loadout to just a pistol or is it OK to gear out for them?
if you trouble with scavs there are many guns perfect for dealing with them, after you start getting comfortable a Paca armor can basically save you from any scav using shotguns too
I would use exactly what you're gonna use in the real raid
same as what that youtuber said
OK sweet, thanks for your help everyone, much appreciated
Looking for a sherpa or team to help me with woods scav kills. anyone interested?
that just depends on what you have access to at the moment
I literally don’t have a gun
I just have the base loadout
I can give advice based on your stash @spiral jay
I bought one and don’t even have amp
if you want to join our call
start with scav runs
Yea
@spiral jay Run a scav run and as soon as you load in just exfil with the kit
Now you have guns.
yep
Ok
Then practice offline for 20 minutes til scav is ready again.
Run scav and exfil with kit.
I don’t rly know how to exfil tho?
Rinse and repeat a couple times til you have some gear built up
Then run your scav to loot and sell the loot.
accept my friend request on discord @spiral jay
Ok
press O twice you will see your extract locations
just get a good map and learn the map
Use internet maps on 2nd screen, phone, or even print them out on old school paper
@spiral jay Bookmark that page
It's the wiki. Use it for tasks, to find out what an item is used for, maps, and all other kinds of stuff.
I'm serious.
Ok
Find something and want to know if it's valuable...let's say a Pressure gauge. Google Pressure gauge tarkov and you will find the wiki. Will tell u what it's needed for which in this example would be for Hideouts upgrade.
yeah as long as you find a couple landmarks its easy enough to orientate yourself
Yeah already learned the map just a few extraction points left and all good.
noice :]
wish i had maps that good when i first started playing
would have been so much easier
Heh
I wish there was a connection in Warehouse 17 and old gas station would help a lot around scav checkpoint.
Or how i like to call it everyone's favorite place to camp
could agree with that, might cut down on the pvp alot though
which is customs selling point right now :p
Nikita said during the last podcast plans to expand Customs to the south end
Yeah but that kinda contraditcs the begginer quests being there
oh nice
i agree alpaca
if they moved the starter quests to other maps
people would like customs alot more
^
its the less call of duty factory
A lot people complain about how linear customs is
Being linear is not necessarily bad but you need more acess points
Like a dude camping scav's checkpoint can easily deny you to exfil in Zb1011
And how you are almost forced into chockpoints when going from one side to the other
Personally I like it, it flows different to other maps
i like the linear chokepoints too tbh
I actually love how the maps looks and feels
it funnels the pvp very well i think
But by god the new players need to see the original map of customs lmao
spawns are trash tbh
It was so much tighter
About 40% smaller too
first 20 seconds of the raid
when you spawn in boiler tanks with comtacs and hear the sound of 9 people popping morhpine
you know its going to be a banger
Ahah you know it’s gunna be rough when you spawn and you hear people pre medding
What key you need to acess warehouse 4 shortcut?
Factory exit
youve been near that area right alpaca?
Spawns in the front desk room of three story dorms
So i can avoid scavs checkpoint when someome camos there
Or on scabs
theres a car infront of a porta potty
Scavs
Any scav in the map?
roof*
Nice to know
same on the other side
Ty
behind gas station there is a broken concrete block sitting at a angle
you can hop over with that too
by the pipes

Almost done with learning customs will try getting that key before moving on to another map
Its pretty rare
Played customs the most this wipe probably 50 or so raids
Check both spawns every raid I can, havent got it yet :p
Will do Shoreline and Interchange next
I'd recommend interchange, it's a good time
👍
interchange gang
Yeet
I've found for quick SCAV loot runs, interchange has been very kind to me (as a new player)
It's great for scavving
how do you break gear fear? i still jump scare even on pistol runs with 2 tetriz' in the gamma and nothing to lose.
My advice would be to look at it like this
by using gear
A average gear set is about 150k, a good one about 250k
Sell it
Think i'm okay used to play a lot of Dayz way more scarier to die in that game
Agreed
Hello
Sup
@tropic path you break gear fear by learning how to make money
Although sometimes being shot in Tarkov makes one jump from the chair
wait what the fuck
So i am about to buy the game and i wanted to ask some people who own the game what bundle i should buy
Homies got 9m
The guns in this game are sooooo goood
some player need to chill like seriously
ok I didn't look at the screeny
I think he's good
@normal abyss hes got money lol
camping almost 10 min just for me to leave
you lose practically nothing
I bought the cheapest edition cuz exchange rates are not nice at the moment. @dense cipher

who the fuck uses a corrugated hose to water their garden
exchange rates ?
thanks @ruby sedge @robust jackal @normal abyss
like to usd
Yep

Wich is the edition that gives you the 3x2 container?
3x3. eod
That one might be worth for you
the most expensive one
Yeah 3x3 sorry
But any edition really
My advice
Grab the cheapest
You can upgrade later
If you like the game enough
you can also buy/have someone purchase for you a 3x2 container from ll4 peacekeepr
for only 500k
By the by what would you guys say is the best way to make money for a begginner?
I don't really need it right now but it's always nice to know
load in with just a knife and a backbag
pick up everything you find
sell on flea
before that just kill everything
Yeah it's like nothing
id learn interchange loot spawns, very easy to run for cash
Okay so i will just the base version
shoreline is also a good safer run, if you learn the key spawns its good cash
Already have 3 pistols and one sks so better use it
Like they say
You gotta spend it to make it
amen
1 more question is their community's/clans in the game ?
That's actually not a bad advice for ppl with gear fear huh?
theres a good community behind the game
and there are clans, not really a issue in game
youl run across a 5 man on labs sometimes and such
i had two extraction points but neither let me extract :/
i couldnt leave and timed out 😦
which ones and what map ?
check your available extractions with double tap o
you cant extract everywhere everytime
Customs, Military CP and Trailerpark Works Shack
I like the Sks a lot cuz gives you easily the ability to kill ppl with gear around lvl 25-30 without to much trouble and it's so fucking cheap.
there are a couple there are a chance to be there snutri
Also recks scavs
^
Every so often the timer does not show up on screen but if you are in the area you will exfil
It's not instant
still counts down, just doesnt show
It's that you were in the area and the timer didn't show up but was counting
ahh
Did the extracts had ????? Symbols
Cuz those also might be there or not
It's a coin toss
yeh
Getting a headshot in this game is so satisfying the way their body just drops and blood splatters everywhere
Just shooting a gun in this game is so satisying
drop like a sack of potatoes if you get a lucky hs
I mean it's not really lucky if you aim for the head
ahah. spawned inbetween two geared groups fighting as a pistol scav
good ol tarkov
Heh
Happened to me in a scav run
But i had an Sks
So i killed at least one of them
It was on storage
Game loves to spawn me in Storage and Trainyard
Not a big fan
At least i can loot that small little blue house next to the wall in the trainyard
Sometimes get a gun,some attachments or a HD.
Also matches
Got like 4 matches there once
anyone wanna help me kill scavs on woods?
does running dramatically increase dehydration?
how do people shoot an ak-74m with no recoil
probably very smoothly
Mods to minimize recoil,and recoil control skill is like 52% recoil reduction
@solid gulch by modding it. # prapor/Skier/Peacekeeper Loyalty II.
i have all the mods tbh
