no

but everyone wants one lol

[stark rain]

rr lets u carry a backpack

[rich cloak]

so get in line

😛

[modern steppe]

damn

[stark rain]

Ull get a like 10% more EV from that extra trash in ur backpack

[dreamy quarry]

@rich cloak I guess i'm blind.. but where can i find the group #looking-for-group ? ;-

;p

[frosty plinth]

@dreamy quarry you've got to follow the rest of his directions first lol

[dreamy quarry]

i did!

[frosty plinth]

If you were all set you'd be rank "PMC"

once you're a pmc, you'll be able to see the rest of the channels

[median elbow]

i got a scope on top of my acog, I hit rmb + lctrl and it wont switch to it?

am i doing something wrong?

[bold kernel]

what does the LF or LFG in the looking for group section mean ? I see people keep putting it in the chat

[median elbow]

looking for group 🙂

[rich cloak]

@median elbow that usually should be the right hotkey

[median elbow]

it's not working. Someone was saying that you have to attach an additional site on the HAMR

tryin gto wokr that out

[rich cloak]

let me check

[median elbow]

Yup, that was the issue

100%

[rich cloak]

do you have the reddot atached ?

oh

[median elbow]

It looked like it already had a sight on top, but it didnt

[rich cloak]

no its just a cover

[stark rain]

Hmm

Thinking about applying for Sherpa after I got Kappa

[rich cloak]

whats the pros of being a sherpa ?

[stark rain]

Well

You seem cool

With that green ID

[rich cloak]

that train is long gone for me

[stark rain]

Hah

Nah it's actually the same you're still helping rookies like u used to

[rich cloak]

Ah okay

[split vapor]

[placid stream]

what's the red warehouse building in Customs called?

[split vapor]

Customs Warehouse

[stark rain]

Warehouse

[split vapor]

typically

[stark rain]

Green

Hi

May I ask how do I become a sherpa

[rich cloak]

@placid stream common call out for it is big red

hmm

sec

[mossy vale]

guys what do i do with Tushonka that i didnt find in raid???????

[robust jackal]

Just got 8.3k xp from a factory run

Wut

Only went in to get some pistol kills

And had a vepr 366 as backup

Ended up i killed every single scav in the map

[ruby sedge]

yeet

[rich cloak]

@mossy vale sell it

[robust jackal]

This actually may be worth farming

[sly pond]

nice

[ruby sedge]

if you get proficient at factory, its easily the fastest way to level up

other then cheesing labs

[robust jackal]

Yeah kinda getting my bearing over there

At least the ground floor and underground passage

Think only one was a player scav maybe 2 but sure.

And i just wanted to kill pmc with my glock

Got a supressor and some rip ammo

[ruby sedge]

respect, id use ap 6.3 if i were running pistol on labs

factory*

[robust jackal]

I actually think factory is a great way to get better at pvp and pve

And improve aim and movimentation

[ruby sedge]

can pen face shields

[robust jackal]

@ruby sedge BUDGET

[normal solar]

anyone wanna do a run?

[ruby sedge]

ap is cheaper then rip im pretty sure rn

[normal solar]

im new

[robust jackal]

Ap 6.3

?

It was on the thousands on flea

[normal solar]

i get the jist ive escape a few times with 6 plus kills

[robust jackal]

Rip was 400 ish

[ruby sedge]

@robust jackal its selling packages of it @robust jackal

scroll down

they are 250 rub each

[normal solar]

im plat 2 rainbow 6 player and i feel like trash here :p

[robust jackal]

Rip kills a player with 5 shots on the leg though

[rotund falcon]

I have totally fucked my self. I’ve lost everything

[ruby sedge]

1 to the face or 5 to the legs :p

[robust jackal]

Yep

[rotund falcon]

I’m going in with my last weapon. I need loot

I need guns

[modern steppe]

so

[robust jackal]

You are never fucked

[modern steppe]

which is truly better

interchange or reserve

for loot

[robust jackal]

Just do scav runs

[rotund falcon]

24k rubles is fucked

[ruby sedge]

imo reserve

[rotund falcon]

And I wasted my scav on factory

[ruby sedge]

interchange is easier for loot and its similar

[robust jackal]

Reserve i think but interchange is way easier

[ruby sedge]

but reserve with a couple keys

is really good

[robust jackal]

And the money still great

[modern steppe]

bro the scavs melt me on interchange

[rotund falcon]

I’m a pussy and don’t wanna explore interchange or move fast

[robust jackal]

Well you just gotta learn

[ruby sedge]

playing slow and playing fast have very similar results @rotund falcon

[robust jackal]

Sometimes you have to be quiet

Some you just have to run

Like don't cross the middle os a road crouching and at the slowest speed

Unless you wanna get 1 tap

[rotund falcon]

I always think someone is gonna hear me and fuck me up from around a corner

[robust jackal]

Headpieces help

[normal solar]

@ sbh i feel that

[robust jackal]

Cuz if they can hear you the opposite is also true

[normal solar]

@rotund falcon i eel that

[robust jackal]

I feel deaf whenever i play Scav now

[rotund falcon]

[robust jackal]

Earpieces ftw

[normal solar]

@robust jackal yea i find ive gotten better at when to run and when not too

@robust jackal also ive come to grips with sometimes they just turn the corner and get the jump on you and you cant do much about that

[modern steppe]

so should i scav run on interchange or what?

[robust jackal]

Yeah grab a map

[modern steppe]

bc i always get assblasted from scavs on that map

[robust jackal]

Outside and inside

If you don't shoot scavs

[normal solar]

i scav shoreline because i find escaping is easy

[robust jackal]

They don't shoot

You

[frank beacon]

-unless its a player scav

[robust jackal]

Yep

[ruby sedge]

@modern steppe sound is very key on interchange

[normal solar]

player scavs crack me up

[frank beacon]

also if u ever spawn with GSSH

drump it

dump it*

[robust jackal]

Player scav does not have aimbot

[normal solar]

im soo good at pretending now

[robust jackal]

I prefer player scav all day

[normal solar]

from talking to waves

[ruby sedge]

@modern steppe hearing the scavs is fairly easy if your walking, try to learn where they spawn and dont spawn

[normal solar]

i love acting like a real scav honetly too much fun

[ruby sedge]

theres only certain stores/paths they take

[robust jackal]

Also interchange only has 3 extraction points

So it's really easy to learn them

[modern steppe]

ya true

just scares tf out of me bc interchange so dark

[robust jackal]

If you scared you can also look up some farming routes that stagly outside the mall

[ruby sedge]

yeah, its nice though cause if its dark for you

its dark for other people too

[modern steppe]

scavs know no darkness

[ruby sedge]

use the shadows in game as half cover as well

[modern steppe]

they penetrate the deepest of darkness

[ruby sedge]

they just want to cheeky your breeky

[robust jackal]

If you loot Texho and Techlight is already more than 100k

[modern steppe]

how doe

[robust jackal]

And they are right next to each other

[modern steppe]

which items?

i assume i must go PMC for dat good loot

[ruby sedge]

graphics cards, tetris, processors ect

[robust jackal]

EVERYTHING you can fit

[acoustic timber]

I mean do not sell graphics card to theripast

Please

[robust jackal]

A lot of stuff there

[modern steppe]

lmao

[ruby sedge]

and it depends on how late you spawn in with a scav

[robust jackal]

Sells for at least

[acoustic timber]

Graphics are 200k

[rotund falcon]

FUCKKIKK I JUST LOST A 100k+ akm

[robust jackal]

15-25k

And that's the avg loot

[acoustic timber]

Graphics card are easy to find

[rotund falcon]

[acoustic timber]

And they are 200k

Each

[modern steppe]

kuzeno can you guide me through interchange in a bit pls

idk any loot spawns

[errant snow]

BAH

I got slammed at 1.2 left on timer to extract

[acoustic timber]

Yeah

[modern steppe]

bruuu

rip

[acoustic timber]

Let's do a pistol run np hatchet running...

[robust jackal]

You want to go usually Texho and Techlight

For a quick run

[errant snow]

Got naded 😭

[robust jackal]

You can also loot oli

[modern steppe]

Oli scavs are my bane

[robust jackal]

Lot of scavs on those big three markets @modern steppe

Inside and outside

[modern steppe]

yes

sneaky mf

[robust jackal]

You shoot one 10 come at you

And there is Killa boi

[ruby sedge]

just how i like it

[rotund falcon]

I hate myself

[ruby sedge]

oof

[modern steppe]

never seen killa man

[robust jackal]

Dat circuit board quest going to be a pain

[rotund falcon]

THIS ALL THE LOOT I HAVE LEFT

[robust jackal]

SCAV INTERCHANGE

[frank beacon]

wow

sell the ammo case 🙂

[rotund falcon]

u right

[ruby sedge]

Okay that's rough bud

[robust jackal]

If discord would let me see the picture

[frank beacon]

do some customs runs walk the edge of map and go into construction
easy guns pog

[robust jackal]

Guess i'm not worth

[ruby sedge]

I'll run ya through some raids tbh, just out having a puff

[robust jackal]

@frank beacon so many ppl hug the dorms wall recently

[frank beacon]

probably me 🙂

[robust jackal]

I always run into ppl coming opposite direction

Run into a duo yesterday

[frank beacon]

i dont go in dorms i just run through and look at stairs

and peep through the windows

[robust jackal]

Middle is more safe

[frank beacon]

dorms has too many trees

i dont fuck with that

[robust jackal]

Laughs in woods

[frank beacon]

i mean

woods is different

[ruby sedge]

Dorms is my home

[errant snow]

Interchange keeps bullying me

[frank beacon]

dorms is just like you cant help but make a noise when trying to get in

you already know some dudes camping in there

[robust jackal]

@errant snow *Tarkov keeps bullin you

[frank beacon]

gonna take a bag full of nades and throw a nade into every open door

[rotund falcon]

im omw to interchange rn

[errant snow]

Sneaky, aggressive, checking corners but there is always some guy behind me

[ruby sedge]

@rotund falcon I can run you a couple raids if your interested

[errant snow]

God will bless me one day

[robust jackal]

@rotund falcon spam scav runs

And no weapons run

[rotund falcon]

@ruby sedge thx for the offer but im gucci

[robust jackal]

In interchange

You will get a million in no time

Use flea

Just do it

[ruby sedge]

@errant snow you are blessed my son

[robust jackal]

Can make so much money

[sinful thistle]

Hey guys I just bought the game 2 days ago, loved it and upgraded to the EOD version. After upgrading I saw no changes so googled what to do and saw that you had to reset your profile in order to get the changes. I reset my profile but still no upgrades. I asked about this on the subreddit and someone said that you dont need to reset your profile anymore and that you should recieve a notfication in game with the upgrade stash size. They mentioned that other people have had this happen where resetting their profile after upgrading results in no increased stash size. I created a support ticket but was just wondering if anyone knows anything about this and could help. Thank you!

[errant snow]

I think I just need some lucky at this point

[robust jackal]

It's really rare 4 me to die from behind

[ruby sedge]

Not sure there vrael #community-support try that

[robust jackal]

Almpst happened to me yesterday on woods but i owned the guy

Had to extract but was full loot anyway guy was geared

[sinful thistle]

I think they auto banned me there because I didnt agree to the rules before posting

[robust jackal]

Cuz BLACK STOMACH IS A BITCH

[rotund falcon]

Night interchange run here we go

[sinful thistle]

nvm

[ruby sedge]

Good luck tho @sinful thistle

[rotund falcon]

and my scav has a torkaev

[sinful thistle]

Thank you

[rotund falcon]

I just don’t know interchange extracts

[robust jackal]

Only 3 boi

[steady pilot]

@sinful thistle you havent needed to reset your profile for 4 wipes

[sinful thistle]

I didnt know that Im brand new

[steady pilot]

this was implemented since .10

[sinful thistle]

I reset it anyways and havent gotten the changes

[steady pilot]

the upgeade comes in the mail

[sinful thistle]

The in game mail? Like from traders?

[steady pilot]

yes

[jade fjord]

looks like half the messages on this discord are people having problems with this game

i should probably just save my money

[ruby sedge]

what are you reading cody

[sinful thistle]

I checked there, but someone on reddit said that resetting my account made me lose that message

[errant snow]

I rarely see anyone in front of me

[jade fjord]

People who cant get an activation code

[sinful thistle]

@steady pilot

[jade fjord]

multiple emails. checked spam folders

[ruby sedge]

if your going to take your resolution from the vocal minority

pretty bad idea

[placid stream]

is there some way of knowing where at an extraction point i have to stand to get it to extract me?

i'm at the crossroads extraction in customs and nothing is happening

dunno wtf i'm missing here

[ruby sedge]

double tap O sat

[robust jackal]

Go around it

[ruby sedge]

do you have that extract?

[sinful thistle]

Double tap O it shows which extractions you can take

[robust jackal]

On the other side of the barricade

[placid stream]

oh uh

[steady pilot]

yeah you probablly ruined the upgrade

you 're gonna have to contact support

[sinful thistle]

i did

no response yet

[placid stream]

oh right so i can't just take any of them i have to take one of the ones on this list?

[sinful thistle]

Just came here to see if anyone else had this issue

[placid stream]

the one that comes up when you hit o?

[ruby sedge]

thats right sat

generally itl be directly opposite of the side you spawn on

[placid stream]

oh right okay thanks

[frank beacon]

you have to take extracts on the list
ones that have ??? next to the extract may or may not be open

[ruby sedge]

^

generally there will be a visual indicator from a distance

[robust jackal]

And some of the ??? Have requirements

[ruby sedge]

if the ???? extract is open

[frank beacon]

yeah

[ruby sedge]

like a fire being on, or a light or some such

[robust jackal]

Smmuglers boat is a bonfire

[placid stream]

fuck me the level of commitment this game requires to even do basic shit is insane

[ruby sedge]

^~^

just the basics are tough to learn

[frank beacon]

you get better quick just keep it up

[ruby sedge]

once u get extracts and gun management and such

your golden

[placid stream]

legit my goal right now is to extract in an offline raid 😛

[frank beacon]

dont stomp around the map sprinting all the time and you will die a lot less i find

[robust jackal]

I'm actually doing pretty good for a begginer but i come from other hardcore games also did tons of research on tarkov and watched a lot of related content.

[keen granite]

I'm new and I'm already taking breaks from the game since it's so damn frusterating to learn

[frank beacon]

i used to watch my friend play all the time
he was kind enough to give me his account

[robust jackal]

Spam the game is the best way to learn

[keen granite]

like this game has more than quadruple the learning curve of any fighting games i've seen

[frank beacon]

tekken?

[robust jackal]

Post your questions here

[frank beacon]

no way

[robust jackal]

Use the wiki

Learn the maps

It's a lot of stuff to take in

But you will find out when you learn the first map you learn the others way quickier and much easier.

[normal abyss]

Headshots are king

[placid stream]

the pvp is actually not that hard

[robust jackal]

Yeah aim for headshots

[placid stream]

it's everything else that's hard

[keen granite]

well it's also harder to learn the game when in a stressful sitaution with a lot in life bothering me anyway, just less playing is the best way for me to learn since it helps keep me distanced so i don't get so frusterated when i got other stuff to worry about as is, very very slowly learning

[robust jackal]

Unless you have a sniper with god ammo chest will do.

[warm terrace]

Don't overlook ammo type.

Ammo is huge in this game

[frank beacon]

i used to ads super close ranges on this game like it was cod

got me killed

hip fire op

[warm terrace]

Or else you're gonna be wondering why you just mag dumped into a guy and he's like the terminator.

[frank beacon]

😳

[robust jackal]

Aiming for the legs can be better depending wich gun and ammo you have.

[normal abyss]

And if they have armour

[robust jackal]

Ammo can make a bad gun totally viable.

[worthy swallow]

What are peoples FPS? Im running aorund 70-80 and i feel like i should be getting 120+

[normal abyss]

Or vice versa

[jade fjord]

its not really the vocal minority if multiple people are having problems

[frank beacon]

ap rounds on kedr

[normal abyss]

Depends on the map @worthy swallow

[frank beacon]

[keen granite]

just use the mosin and get lucky headshots, thats my best strat so far lol

[robust jackal]

The email is having probleme today bruh

[frank beacon]

i get like 80 fps

[robust jackal]

Bought it saturday was all gud

[frank beacon]

games max is 120 anyways

[robust jackal]

^

[jade fjord]

a company that wants to host a black friday sale in <24 hours that can't even handle simple activation emails now isn't exactly planning well

[warm terrace]

They are actively working on their email issues at the moment.

[frank beacon]

mp5 with ap rounds is so good

jesus

[warm terrace]

9mm seems to be a little lack luster this patch tbh

even the AP ammo

[frank beacon]

im shredding

[stark rain]

Applied for Sherpa, waiting for response(

[acoustic timber]

wait theres a sale

[robust jackal]

I can only see myself using subs in factory

[warm terrace]

Correct @acoustic timber

[acoustic timber]

right now?

[robust jackal]

That would be fun

[warm terrace]

no, starts 11/29

[acoustic timber]

oh

[warm terrace]

@acoustic timber

[frank beacon]

subs on customs pretty nice

[robust jackal]

30% off

[frank beacon]

imo

doing damn well with them today

got tired of using adar and fal

[warm terrace]

I'm really enjoying the MP7 this patch, never really used subs regularly up until now

[ruby sedge]

mp7 is a sweet little gun

[frank beacon]

i got a p90 from a guy in this server when i first started

awesome gun

[keen granite]

i haven't played in like 2-3 days just to avoid the frusteration of being stupid and new to the game

[frank beacon]

died to some dude with a killa helmet on factory after like 9 runs though

[jade fjord]

"our email activation system is currently under maintenance. Please bear with us and the activation e-mail will come" EZ.

[frank beacon]

dont be afraid to die bro

[warm terrace]

@keen granite yeah, that's one of the things with Tarkov, the learning curve is really steep but it makes the game so much more intense/enjoyable when you start finding your stride.

[frank beacon]

constant loot in rotation you will get that shit back trust me ive been one tapped by like 3 naked dudes running around with a pistol

[robust jackal]

If you don't play you don't learn

And you don't get better

[keen granite]

i feel it's impossible to actually like the game when you just start it

[robust jackal]

Gotta die a lot to learn

[frank beacon]

i guess

i started late last wipe was getting killed over and over again

but when i killed someone it was the best feeling

[bold kernel]

Why is 9x19 Luger more expensive than AP? Cause the ballistics tables say ap has higher armor penetration percentage

[frank beacon]

for leg meta i guess

higher flesh damage

[jovial bolt]

whats a good gun to buy a lot of when starting?

[frank beacon]

gun i bought was sks

[keen granite]

Im like the mosin since it helps me focus on not missing

[jovial bolt]

funny cause im actually holding one

[patent egret]

i used what i was given from the purchase and went from there

[warm terrace]

@jovial bolt I really enjoy anything that shoots 7.62x39 PS ammo when starting out.

[frank beacon]

sks is really nice honestly

[warm terrace]

It has good pen, good damage and isn't gated behind any sort of loyalty levels for traders

[ruby sedge]

agreed, 762 guns are excelent to learn recoil control

[frank beacon]

and scavs spawn with them

[warm terrace]

So that would be like SKS, Vepr, AKM series

[frank beacon]

so u can constantly have some

ammo and extras

[ruby sedge]

sks or vepr are go to's for early wipe/low level imo

[warm terrace]

Yeah, and very common to find replacement ammo in game like @frank beacon said

[ruby sedge]

very cheap and do the job

[frank beacon]

adars are nice too

but u need to buy good ammo

[rapid minnow]

if I die with an insured bag, do I have a chance of getting back everything inside the bag too?

[turbid light]

It’s all about the m9 early

[rich cloak]

Nope

Only what's insured @rapid minnow

[rapid minnow]

ok thanks

[rotund falcon]

I died without a weapon other a shovel

[errant snow]

F

[steady pilot]

adar isnt good

[frank beacon]

opinion personally really like it

[steady pilot]

opinion

no fact.

[frank beacon]

😐

[warm terrace]

Lol adar is fine

[steady pilot]

adar has a accuracy issue. In game, durability is linked to accuracy. Adar is a 80/80 durability gun. This effectively acts like a normal gun that is 80/100 durability. This translates to a 100% accuracy debuff. Take the .07 circle for normal guns, multiply the diameter x2. That's the accuracy of adar spread at 100m. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

[jovial bolt]

do silencers take damage down?

[steady pilot]

no

bullets have a set dmg and pen value

[jovial bolt]

explains why silencers are so expensive

[placid stream]

does the sks take a magazine or do i put bullets directly into it?

[steady pilot]

no cause they offer moderate recoil reduction and make it really hard to tell where you get shot from

sks can have an internal mag or magazine,

[jovial bolt]

its like a mosin

[placid stream]

if i put bullets directly into it can i load more than one in?

can't find the right magazine at the traders

[jovial bolt]

i think it can hold 10

[bold kernel]

Sks bad

[steady pilot]

sks is bad eccks dee

[warm terrace]

yeah, there's an internal SKS magazine that holds 10 rds

[steady pilot]

veprkm masterrace

the best sks

[placid stream]

it says "slot is not ready" when i try to put a bullet in

[warm terrace]

once in the raid, you can't take it out, but you can load rounds individually

[placid stream]

but there's one less bullet in the stack

[bold kernel]

Are you dragging boolets on to the gun or the magazine

[placid stream]

onto the gun

[warm terrace]

if it's 9/10 and there's a bullet in the chamber, you might not be able to load it

[bold kernel]

Try onto the magazine

[placid stream]

it's 0/10

[steady pilot]

take the mag out of the gun

put the bullets in

[warm terrace]

wait are you in raid? or in stash?

[placid stream]

in stash

[warm terrace]

move it to your stash

not on your person

[placid stream]

gun has no mag in it

[warm terrace]

double click it, take the internal mag out

then put the rounds into the magazine, then the magazine back into the gun

[steady pilot]

bruh just dont use sks

lmao

[placid stream]

holy shit that thing is an internal mag

fuck me

[jovial bolt]

just invested 36k into 2 sks time to test it out

[placid stream]

thanks a lot sorry for the insanely stupid question

[jovial bolt]

sks was 18k for me

[patent egret]

anyone willing to assist a semi new player with completing his quests?

[jovial bolt]

what ammo shouldi use for sks?

[steady pilot]

762 PS is effective and cheap

but if you want a chance of taking out players, then buy 762 BP

762 PS CAN work, but not as well.

[modern steppe]

so sks or vepr for cheap ass interchange runs?

[steady pilot]

either but vepr >

[warm terrace]

yeah, I normally like the VEPR over the SKS, but that's like all I used for when I started out.

[jovial bolt]

and whats the difference between sks OP and sks

[warm terrace]

so I got used to it my first wipe

[steady pilot]

op sks allows a dovetail for sscopes

and has the worst accuracy

of any 762 gun

[modern steppe]

bro but why tf is it so hard to aim w sks

[jovial bolt]

this is my first wipe so im completely unfamiliar with everything and jump at every coner

[robust jackal]

Best sks mag has 20 bullets

They are cheap

Like 3k

[modern steppe]

same OG lol

[warm terrace]

there's a 30 rounder now too

[robust jackal]

Just buy them if you going to use sks

[warm terrace]

if ya like more pew pews

[steady pilot]

sks also takes 5 years to reload

[robust jackal]

If you don't have mags don't play sks

Just don't

[steady pilot]

it has a really slow reload mechanic

[modern steppe]

so vepr

[jovial bolt]

i have collected a few sa-58's and drum mags

[modern steppe]

cuz i am cheap asf

[jovial bolt]

are they good

[steady pilot]

this cost me 17k

[warm terrace]

SA-58 is a great gun imo, I love the 7.62x51

[frank beacon]

sa-58 with reap-IR

🙂

[modern steppe]

what is the best SUPER cheap loadout for trying to farm interchange

[steady pilot]

whatever works for you bud

[robust jackal]

Scav @modern steppe heh

[frank beacon]

the cheapest loadout

is a

[steady pilot]

vepr hunter, vepr km, mosin

[frank beacon]

hatchet.

[jovial bolt]

shouldi wait to go to labs?

[modern steppe]

like full loadout not jus guns

[frank beacon]

dont go to labs lol

[jovial bolt]

wait?

[frank beacon]

do u even have a key?

[robust jackal]

You can have a pot helmet and a paca if you want to avoid being one shot by scavs. @modern steppe

[jovial bolt]

i got a card yea

[frank beacon]

sell the card

on market

[modern steppe]

ty

[jovial bolt]

its worth like 200k right

[robust jackal]

200k easy

[frank beacon]

yes

[warm terrace]

@modern steppe what are you trying to do on interchange? Like just gamma expensive stuff and run? or are you trying to actually like play and get into fights and survive?

[modern steppe]

either one lmao

just heard u can make a lot

[jovial bolt]

but a labs run can get 1 mill

[modern steppe]

but u die super easy OG

[jovial bolt]

oh so i will sell it cause i suck lol

[modern steppe]

i went there with a squad of 2 other guys and they both died but i made it out stacked lol

got 5 pmc kills some how

[warm terrace]

@modern steppe I would do like a scavBP, SSH helmet, paca armor, and a low/non upgraded weapon if you're looking for bare bones runs

[modern steppe]

even tho ive had the game for like a few days

[steady pilot]

anyone want this

[modern steppe]

ty my man

yes pls

[jovial bolt]

going factory with a shotgun ive got 12 then died its fun

[strong trout]

Nice thing about interchange is that depending where you go all weapons are viable, and it’s really easy to pick your fights due to the long angles and plethora of cover

So whatever gun you have works

[frank beacon]

still kinda doo doo at gun modding but why cant i put a pso on this sks

[idle bluff]

You need a dovetail mount.

[steady pilot]

is it a OP-SKS

or SKS

[idle bluff]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Dovetail_OP-SKS_mount.

That too, it needs to be an OP SKS

[frank beacon]

oh shit

fuck

[steady pilot]

op-sks is the worst

[jovial bolt]

ok so should i bring a saiga-9 or sks for a customs run

[idle bluff]

Oi

Seasonal;

[steady pilot]

you can literally buy an ak103 and it be a better gun

[frank beacon]

hello

[idle bluff]

Is that AK-12 in your pfp

[frank beacon]

yeha

[idle bluff]

Hmmm

You got the original picture?

[frank beacon]

i do not

i stole this off some dude on twitter

[idle bluff]

[frank beacon]

😦

[modern steppe]

[frank beacon]

sorry

[modern steppe]

[frank beacon]

anime mobile game called girls frontline

[idle bluff]

.-.

[frank beacon]

girl uses ak-12

[idle bluff]

But yeah no

[frank beacon]

[idle bluff]

You need to change the receiver to https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Simonov_Semi-Automatic_Carbine_SKS_7.62x39_Hunting_Rifle_Version and add https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Dovetail_OP-SKS_mount.

[frank beacon]

didnt know there was a difference in the op-sks and regular what the fug

[steady pilot]

did you read my chart

theres a huge accuracy difference too

its literally expensive trash

you can buy an AK103 for 30k

[frank beacon]

ill just kill some scav and take it

i have ak103s

i just wanna use different guns

or well actually
lol i died with my last one like a hour ago

[steady pilot]

ak103 + pso = ez clap\

sa58/hunter/m1a even better

[frank beacon]

was using that on woods

till i died

nice lil gun did about 8 raids with it until death

[steady pilot]

svd is 65k

• 8k grip + 15k 1p59 scope

ez clap gun

[frank beacon]

i got a svd last week but i sold it because i was too afraid to use it for some reason 😬

[jovial bolt]

do you guys have standard or EOD?

[steady pilot]

EOD >

[frank beacon]

standard

[ruby sedge]

o.o

[frank beacon]

and im too poor to upgrade my stash

both in real life and in game

L

[ruby sedge]

vpx spawn in south pawn building just on a table

hot damn

[steady pilot]

just stop being poor

[frank beacon]

if i sell my entire stash i will have 5mil

[patent egret]

EOD

[steady pilot]

if you're looking at total cost of all items in stasth stat

[modern steppe]

standard bc poor

[steady pilot]

its not what you currently have

[jovial bolt]

just got one tapped ;-; shots sound so close but are so far away

[ruby sedge]

Wearing contacts?

Comtacs* fuckin auto correct

[jovial bolt]

idk

[ruby sedge]

Their the headphones in game

[jovial bolt]

i was completely naked other than the mask thing but i think thats cosmetic

[steady pilot]

interchange loadout

svd + thermal leggo

[modern steppe]

bro that looks so stacked wtf

[steady pilot]

pft like 200k

300k*

[idle bluff]

Also hi Delta

[frank beacon]

will he fall

[idle bluff]

Maybe

[robust jackal]

Nope

He scared the shit out of me today

Was doing a pmc run on customs

Spawned customs side

[jovial bolt]

is it wrong to camp an extraction?

[robust jackal]

Went through ruaf roadblock to get that shortcut broken wall covered by bushes

And he starts to shoot me with a mosin

SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME

Totally forgot he existed

[modern steppe]

yes is extract camping bad

[errant snow]

I got killed a few times by extract campers..

I might do it to make my money back

[tulip leaf]

@jovial bolt yeah that shit is stupid. You wont get better by camping extracts

[modern steppe]

how bout cheeky extract camp in interchange

oh damn good point

[bold kernel]

I just accidentally dissembled a gun and now it won’t let me put it back together. Am I missing something?

[tulip leaf]

also if it isn't a new player whoever's going to the extract is probably going to kill you

[errant snow]

I'll probably do it just to get back on my feet again, my stash is empty due to dying over and over

I'm relying on scav runs every 20 mins

[bold kernel]

theres a thing called idk

scav runs

extract camping is bullshit

goin the raid and kill people

dont hide in a corner for a hour

[robust jackal]

Factory extract campers

[errant snow]

Another smart mouth..

Alpaca I got butchered by one LOL

He was on the middle dumpster thingy

[frank beacon]

what

i just wiped scav boss in dorms with a shit saiga on my scav run

excuse me

do they not agro on player scavs automatically?

[bold kernel]

scavs are either dumb as rocks

or terminators

[lapis mauve]

I think they yell at you if you get close then they kill you

[frank beacon]

they just fucking stared at me

and sat there and let me shoot his leg off

[lapis mauve]

Lol idk then

[frank beacon]

bruh

[errant snow]

Scav boss: Pacifist mode activate

[frank beacon]

of all the times

i opened dorms to get one tapped by a guard

on my pmc

[lapis mauve]

Keep his pistol if he dropped it

[jovial bolt]

scav's wont kill scavs unless you kill a scav

[frank beacon]

bosses are different

[jovial bolt]

and in factory sometimes they wont kill you even if youve killed a scav

[frank beacon]

or at least i thought 😬

i have no space in my stash for the boss loot 🚶‍♂️

[jolly shard]

I'm so trash at this game

[errant snow]

Bosses KO anyone from what I got told

[jovial bolt]

7.62x39 BP is so damn expensive

[bold kernel]

Got my first m4a1 in raid : ‘ )

[errant snow]

👏

[half jackal]

PS is okay if you're running budget gear, but use BS if you're spending big on gear

[rotund falcon]

Any idea where I can find a backpack on interchange?

[frank beacon]

scav.

[rotund falcon]

Am scav

No backpack

[frank beacon]

kill a scav

[rotund falcon]

Whelp I did

And got fucked up by the oli scavs

Guess he wasn’t a player scav

Anyways I got bank again

[bold kernel]

Is flea market not working for anyone else or should I say is this common?

[idle bluff]

Can you specify on the issue?

[bold kernel]

It just load for a while then says “category” followed by a bunch of numbers and letters “not found”

[rotund falcon]

Yeah I’m getting that as well

It was fine after I went into a raid and came out

[faint raven]

hello

level 52 here

here to help people on interchange

[rotund falcon]

Laggg

Laggg

[faint raven]

LAGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[bold kernel]

Is there like a quick guide to sell/keep certain types of ammo?

I have crap tons of ammo and don't know if I should be selling some of them

[warm terrace]

there are ammo charts

!ammo

[tribal robin]

Official ammo table for Escape from Tarkov :

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ammunition

[bold kernel]

@warm terrace I've seen this already and I'm not exactly sure how to utilize it when I'm figuring out which ammos to sell/keep

[warm terrace]

What kind of weapons are you using regularly

[bold kernel]

Anything I get off of my scav run really

Probably a lot of AKs

[warm terrace]

I can give you a quick run down for keeping ammo if you're just starting out. 5.45 Keep BP (budget) BT, BS, 7N39. 7.62 Keep PS (budget), BP. 5.56 Keep M856A1 (budget) and M995.

[restive cipher]

There any maps that show where spawns are?

as in player spawns

that r updated

[warm terrace]

A few are out there @restive cipher which one are you looking for specifically?

[bold kernel]

okay, thank you

[restive cipher]

mostly customs and woods

[thick mist]

Is 7.62x39 BP really worth the super expensive price? Or is PS good enough to use

[restive cipher]

@warm terrace

[robust jackal]

Documents case is sooo good

I can fit all the keys i currently have and space to spare

All in my safe container

[ruby sedge]

thicc case ftw

[hollow mirage]

Hey guys.
Whats the differnece between RTT - Player RTT

[warm terrace]

@restive cipher I sent links to each map in a PM to you

[thick mist]

@hollow mirage Quick Google, but RTT seems to be your ping to the server and player RTT is the ping of the highest person on the server

[restive cipher]

thank u so muchhhh

[thick mist]

Not sure if true though

[limber relic]

@thick mist BP ammo is the only 7.62 ammo that is useful against anything above class 3 armor

[hollow mirage]

@Nazwa You are the man, thank you. I was wondering if player RTT was my ping which seemed just wrong

[limber relic]

has 45 pen (class 4 armor) and 50 damage a hit

[thick mist]

It also costs 5.5 times more than PS though :/

[spare juniper]

What specific stat on a gun makes it go so high when shooting? Is it muzzle velocity or vert recoil

[limber relic]

class 4 armor is so easy to get. So that is what most people run, PS will take multiple hits to penetrate

[thick mist]

Muzzle velocity is how fast the bullets travel from the gun

Vertical recoil is how much the weapon climbs while firing

[spare juniper]

Ok ty

[thick mist]

I mean... Class 4 armor is very expensive

[limber relic]

also BP will go through 90% of the face shields in the game

[thick mist]

Haven't really seen many people running with it

[ruby sedge]

you can pick up a class 4 for 60-80k

really not too bad

[thick mist]

I've mostly just seen 6B23 so far

80k? That's extremely expensive

[limber relic]

you can usually get the class 4 armored rig for 45-50k

the 6b5-15 green one

[thick mist]

I guess there's a reason why YouTubers and streamers just walk in front of players and massacre them haha

Gotta spend money to make money

[limber relic]

yep if it saves you and gets you a kill it paid for itself

and since it's an armored rig with a relatively small capacity, a lot of people will leave it behind

[thick mist]

It has kinda shit durability and the repair cost is high though

[limber relic]

which is why they're currently ~40k on the flea market

it's not great but it works if you can't get anything else

[snow kite]

Killa armour and altyn, best money maker unless you step on a landmine 😂

[thick mist]

Idk I think I'll stick to Pestily's advice and use the 6B23

Isn't Altyn like 180k?

[snow kite]

Clower to 200k with faceshield and full health

Same for killa armour

[thick mist]

Looks like 150k on flea

[limber relic]

you can do that if you want, whatever works for you. They're roughly the same price for a 100% dura

[thick mist]

Assuming 95/95 is max

[snow kite]

With that i run a VSS with SP-6 and its all good so far... 0 deaths

[thick mist]

Killa armor is 220k ouch

I mean if you can afford that then great

I know I'd just die and lose half my money so it wouldn't be worth it for me haha

[snow kite]

Well you dont have to be a terminator with it 😂 just play as you would normally play and that armour is an extra sort of 😂

Im getting close to 5 million so far

[stark rain]

Killa armour is about the best armour in the game

Amazing repairability, nice class, and not too much debuff

One thing not so good about VSS/ASVal is the mag caps

[snow kite]

Yeah thats shot

Shit

Need to take like 4-5 mags always

With extra ammo

Dont use them all always tho

[frosty crown]

Is there a way to tell if i hit someone

after i die

[stark rain]

Nope

[thick mist]

At the end credits or whatever you want to call them there's a stat that says how many shots you hit

[thorn cave]

Alguem br pra me tirar uma duvida?

[frosty crown]

like the dmg to body stat? @thick mist

thats dmg to their body?

[stark rain]

@thorn cave Inglês?

[thick mist]

It should say below that I think

How many of your shots hit someone

[stark rain]

Aqui não fala português

0.0

[thorn cave]

Okay, desculpa

[stark rain]

Nada ^^

[thorn cave]

A currency from my country is the R$ which is equivalent to 4.70€ or 4.26$. With a Blackfriday promotion the EFT goes for € 21, which converting to R$99 would be R$144, could you buy it for euros or do you have any restrictions?

[rotund falcon]

tarkov smiles upon me again

[quartz adder]

Anyone want to run duos or a group with me to help a noob learn the ropes?

[thick mist]

Hey! I suggest reading the #521628660298678283 and #news-setup completely so that you can gain access to #pvp-lfg and other useful channels on the server

[quartz adder]

Thanks.

[thick mist]

Server's a bit dead what with it being nighttime for most folks and Thanksgiving as well

Lotta people love to group up during the busier hours though

[snow kite]

Roughly 75€ for the upgrade from standard to EoD... damn

...with the 30% discount

[dense lotus]

That’s a good deal

And if you can afford it, boooooooy it’s worth it

Plus..you get to support development just that little bit more

[snow kite]

Does it reset the account when you upgrade?

[lapis mauve]

no

your stash gets bigger and you get the new stuff in the mail

[dense lotus]

^^ which is verrrry nice

[snow kite]

Awesome

[sour plume]

uh can you put a thicc case in another thicc case? lol

and same question with item case etc

basically can your stash go infinite theoretically with cases

[daring ember]

stash is def not infinite, there's like a stacking limit or at least that's what I know from watching streamers a lot

[sour plume]

[daring ember]

I didnt get to that point of having 5 BP and 5 cases yet...

[sour plume]

im wondering if scav junkbox/item case are worth the investment to also have to sort through whenever i want to use/sell something

[daring ember]

i mean im gonna give u the dumb answer of "yes if u dont have any space left" but yeah

there's prob more to it

[twilit silo]

@thick mist there is that one sweetspot where it is late night US and morning EU

Where servers are kinda dead

[daring ember]

so basically rn

[placid stream]

is it worth buying helmets and armour and shit if you're legit brand new to the game?

keep getting dropped in one shot by cunts i never see but helmets are expensive

[daring ember]

ye I personally do, tactical rig and the cheapest helmet

if u dont wanna buy em just do scav runs and yoink that shit @placid stream

[placid stream]

cheers

do scav runs count for trader quests?

[dense lotus]

Nope

[daring ember]

@dense lotus even the like "hand in X amout of shotguns" quests ?

[dense lotus]

Those yes, because your moving them over to your pmc

But “kill pmc or scavs” or “find documents” don’t count

[daring ember]

yeah ok u got me scared for a sec there

so it partially counts then

my god why am I even answering ppl, I JUST got access to the flea market anyway

[ruby sedge]

yeet

[spare juniper]

I got fuel conditioner sells for about 90k should it seems important should I keep it or just sell

[dense lotus]

Keep

[ruby sedge]

A found in raid quest, really annoying to get

[dense lotus]

You need 4, for a quest

[ruby sedge]

id keep

[normal abyss]

You need 4 in raid for a Ragman quest

[spare juniper]

Ah okay thanks

[snow kite]

6B43 keep or sell?

Necer used that one

[dense lotus]

I’d sell tbh

[lapis mauve]

it has the best armor class but makes you super slow. most people decide its not worth it. you will need 2 for a quest later (one damaged)

also unless you also have a good helmet sell it for sure

[dense lotus]

By the time that quest comes around.. you will be able to afford to buy the armor anyway.. best to give yourself I bit of extra cash off the start

[snow kite]

Quest, so im keeping it i guess... not in the need of money atm as for using it... meh im more of a gen4/killa fan

[dense lotus]

Yea, killa armor is the way to go

[snow kite]

I have around 4.3 million atm its not much but its not what you‘d call poor

[dense lotus]

Fresh account right?

If so, I’d get buying keys

[snow kite]

No im here since about 3 weeks before the wipe

[dense lotus]

Mhm, okay

[snow kite]

For who is that 6b43 quest? Ragman i guess?

[dense lotus]

Yea

It’s later down the line

[snow kite]

Since im almost done with mechanic prapor and therapist and havent seen that so far

[dense lotus]

They changed it up a lil, you used to have to get one fort 50-100%, and one 0-50%

[spiral sphinx]

Im new and would there be any way to make money looting with key and eay to find for begginer

[dense lotus]

Shoreline or interchange

[spiral sphinx]

Withouts keys

I meant

[dense lotus]

Interchange

Just make sure you get yourself some keys asap, farming with keys is about 10 times better than without

[spiral sphinx]

When i get on in a couple of days would you want to raid with me?

[dense lotus]

I’m down for that, just message me whenever

I will give you a few spare keys

[spiral sphinx]

Really?

The only 1 i have is the machinery 1

[dense lotus]

I got a few spare keys from shoreline that is worth a bit of money that I don’t mind losing

[spiral sphinx]

Ok im not sure when ill be on but i hope within 2 days

[dense lotus]

No problem, just message me, I’ll remember you

[spiral sphinx]

Do u have a youtube with the same name?

[dense lotus]

Yes I do

[spiral sphinx]

Ima sub to it

[dense lotus]

Much love bud

[spiral sphinx]

Np

[errant snow]

Still waiting for God to bless me

[dense lotus]

What you mean

[gleaming lotus]

how do i rotate a gun in my stash?

[dense lotus]

Click drag + R

[gleaming lotus]

ty 😄

[errant snow]

Haha, I'm praying God will deflect bullets of my back so I can survive my first raid

[dense lotus]

Ahh best of luck!

[bold kernel]

@spiral sphinx Interchange is a good map for grinding without keys

Due to the electrical shops n so on

[errant snow]

I've been in a few now as a scav but making it out has been a blockade for me

[bold kernel]

Don't create a lot of noise and people won't find you

Lurk around

[strange mural]

just dont die

[daring ember]

JUST dont die 4Head

[errant snow]

Yeah, I'm doing that at the moment but there is always one sneaky fucker hiding behind something and...RIP

I'll get out eventually

[daring ember]

tbh i die a lot too when scaving

it gives me that "idgaf" confidence

[placid stream]

is there a bug where your kills don't get recorded?

[dense lotus]

Not that I know of

There was issues like this, but I’m sure they were all patched out

[placid stream]

alright

i killed like three scavs but then it said no kils

dunno what happened

[dense lotus]

Ah yes

[placid stream]

do only pmc kills count?

[dense lotus]

So, you still got the cup from the kills

What’s happening it, at the end of raid, it’s displaying info, after a different raid

[placid stream]

oh airght

[dense lotus]

This in itself is a bug, but you still got your kills, and they were tracked

[placid stream]

cool thanks dude 🙂

[dense lotus]

Npnp

[somber lagoon]

anyone know where i can find a map or something to help with Interchange scav extracts?

[last orbit]

Scavs can use both extracts (railway and emercom). PMCs use always the one furthest from your spawn (or pay for the car exit in power station)

[warm terrace]

interchange scav extracts are the same ones as PMC's if you know where those are. if not, map below my message @daring ember 's

You can use either one, northwest is railway, south east is emercom

[drowsy turtle]

does wearing night vision goggles give away your position? like is there a light visible to others or something

[snow kite]

What light?

[drowsy turtle]

dunno, from what I've read, there's like some light coming out of the goggles that others can see if you're wearing it

I've used one but I'm not sure if that's true

[upper sky]

for Key to Success, do you have to get the books in order?

[plucky goblet]

no

[upper sky]

thx

[normal bear]

@drowsy turtle very dim green light shining into.the eyes of ur character

Unoticeable

[drowsy turtle]

well that's a relief. Thought there'd be like a bright spot giving out my position

[normal bear]

I mean

If we would have old gen1 nvgs (or maybe gen2 does that too) u would see infrared light coming out if u had one too

[drowsy turtle]

I'd be cool with that if it was an cheap and early unlock item or something

[upper sky]

how long do you have to claim items from insurance?
i'm going to be out of town for about 48 hours starting tomorrow afternoon, so if i play before i leave will i lose insurance items?

[strange mural]

iirc 3 days

[fossil violet]

how do i fix this

[bronze oak]

@fossil violet i just got this too

[waxen forge]

You can't fix it. They have to fix it.

It's an issue on BSG side.

[rose echo]

They're working on it guys, seems to be affecting the majority, I just need to upgrade my hideout asap lol

[strange mural]

there was already a small update

[bronze oak]

@waxen forge DONT TELL ME HOW TO NOT FIX THINGS

[tight tartan]

yep - of course i just extracted for only the 2nd time and get this error

[waxen forge]

Very true.

[sinful spear]

question for you pros

When I kill a scav AI as a PMC the whole SCAV AIs on the map zerg me non stop is this normal on Factory?

[waxen forge]

Yup

[marble blade]

factory is such tigth map

[strange mural]

thats normal on every map

[marble blade]

you dead boi

[waxen forge]

Factory is EFT's version of COD. Fast paced multiple angles to cover..little time to loot, med, or repack mags.

Other maps scavs have sections. On customs Big red Warehouse scavs will never travel across the bridge. May go from big red to the storage sheds behind but never across the bridge.

Boiler scavs will never go to new gas.

[solar jungle]

@sinful spear If you shoot either an AI scav or a player scav they all will hunt you down but if a player scav attacks you and you kill him AI scav wont do anything to you

[waxen forge]

So on and so on.

But if you kill a big red scav then the other big red scavs will come looking.

[sinful spear]

I see

well fuck then

what you do if you had to shoot a Scav Ai then

do you wait for more or relocate ?

[strange mural]

scav ai are always going for you anyway

so you kill them

[waxen forge]

Also @sinful spear Go to #news-setup and #521628660298678283 so you can see the whole discord

[strange mural]

you kill everybody

[rose echo]

Kill them... kill them all @sinful spear

[marble blade]

@sinful spear that means dinner is served, if there is more just relocate a bit, they will come to your last spot

[sinful spear]

@marble blade LOL ok thats new to me

[waxen forge]

Yea honestly as a PMC you kill everything (even teammates at times). Relocating after killing one can be good but if it's in a good position you can also just let the other's come and pop then as they arrive.

[sinful spear]

I was just sitting there for the zerg

[upper sky]

@waxen forge how long do you have to claim items from insurance?
i'm going to be out of town for about 48 hours starting tomorrow afternoon, so if i play before i leave will i lose insurance items?

[sinful spear]

thanks boyzzzz

[waxen forge]

I want to say it's 36 hours or so. Can't remember at the moment.

[robust jackal]

@sinful spear just shoot them before they shoot you when u play pmc

As long you don't let them fire they are potatos

[upper sky]

@waxen forge gotcha thx

[waxen forge]

Rough estimate

[robust jackal]

If they fire and you don't have gear they will aimbot you 90% of the time

[strange mural]

Your insurer will contact you a few hours/days later to let you know what came back. You can then claim it from the messenger tab. If you do not claim it in 48 hours, the insured items will be lost.

this is wiki.

@upper sky

[waxen forge]

And Insurance takes 24-36 hours from the time of your death/end of that raid before it's going to come back. So that time plus the 48 hrs to claim it.

[strange mural]

theres a lot of information about it though
