i want to be a rich man

strange mural
#

basic market techniques

#

'

#

find trends

#

buy low sell high

buoyant flume
#

Ahaha fuck that just run interchange ๐Ÿ˜›

subtle stratus
#

should I insure my alpha container?

buoyant flume
#

No. You never lose it

waxen forge
#

No but I just his insure all. Easier than choosing each item. I end up insuring my key tool and docs case and whatever is in my gamma but I don't care. Saves time

frank beacon
#

wait

waxen forge
#

Insure all as in from the Insurance screen. I never insure from stash.

frank beacon
#

can you get graphics cards from literally any computer?

strange mural
#

yes

bold kernel
#

I never insure balaclava googles armbands but I always insure my keys

strange mural
#

from my experience yes

bold kernel
#

why to scavs gang up on me when i play as a pmc... i canot go longer than 10 min without them apearing and killing me

frank beacon
#

i did not know customs has computers in the red building

waxen forge
#

First off don't bother with arm bands.

brazen owl
#

Hello, how do i play with my 2 other friends?

#

We're on discord trying to group

waxen forge
#

2nd for me it's a hell of a lot faster to hit Insure All than to pick each item 1 x 1

#

Go to lobby and everyone hit "start Looking for Group" under their picture. 1 person then invites the rest by right clicking on their name and hit invite

bold kernel
#

I just insure my guns as soon as Iโ€™m done building them

waxen forge
#

Once all have joined the PERSON WHO INVITES hit's ready

#

Just insure when you are headed to raid in the insurance screen.

#

Easy

brazen owl
#

Where's Lobby, budracin?

waxen forge
#

Escape from Tarkov>Pick a map/time, NEXT, NO map...Next...Offline...NEXT, Insurance...next...boom Lobby

snow kite
#

wtf how the fuck do you buy something off a flea market with all the bots

strange mural
#

dont buy minimum price.

#

bow to the bots

snow kite
#

im trying to buy a terragroup card for like 15 minutes

barren current
#

anyone want to come learn some reserve?

strange mural
#

yes you cant beat the bots

#

there is also a semi exploit where you just cant beat the low buyers.

barren current
#

lvl 30 willing to teach

brazen owl
#

Budracin do i select offline?

strange mural
#

im up elec. im somewhat informed though

#

lets get more ppl in

#

actually

#

ill dip

#

gotta do irl

snow kite
#

well thats just awesome...

waxen forge
#

No go past that

#

Then comes insurance

#

Insure gear if you want

#

Then NEXT never ready if trying to group

barren current
#

id never jump in with random people with a decent kit lil fyi

waxen forge
#

He's trying to meet friends

barren current
#

then id do that here lol

waxen forge
#

He did. Doesm

barren current
#

u wont meet many nice people playing with randoms

waxen forge
#

Doesn't know how to squad

subtle stratus
#

wait i should play offline?

barren current
#

as long as he is on the list with all the other players listed if he selects looking for group below his name he can be seen in lobby by non friend players......to invite people just right click their name and invite

waxen forge
#

If you want to practice with no penalty

subtle stratus
#

do we gain anything from it?

barren current
#

no

waxen forge
#

I know how to squad. That's what I told him

subtle stratus
#

but if we die in offline we dont have to wait to try again?

barren current
#

you can only play offline with pmc...you will loose nothing at death but you will gain nothing its all to go practice and or test your loadout

#

there is no down time in offline you will just reset to before that raid

errant snow
#

POW

#

I return from my pit

barren current
#

so taking it no one wants to learn reserve?

subtle stratus
#

can a friend join in offline? (i understand it says offline...)

errant snow
#

Offline is solo

barren current
#

no, but ill do my best to keep you safe and show you around i know the map well

whole schooner
#

you should run it offline first to memorize the layout for proper positioning/chokes/potential loot.. then again for scavs.

subtle stratus
#

this games fucking hardcore

whole schooner
#

then you're probably ready for PvP ish

#

and yeah

#

if you die, its usually your fault

#

so its a learning experience, least for me

#

i do a lot of pscav runs first soooo

#

shrug

subtle stratus
#

what happens if u lose all ur weapons?

whole schooner
#

you get a care package from merchant once a day (i think under 40k value?), or you can run pscav and leech to your main

waxen forge
#

Care package from merchants?

#

What the hell is that?

whole schooner
#

its supposed to be minor

#

idk

barren current
#

ill be in [5] echo very bottom of the list above afk....if anyone would like to come learn a map and or get some kills and nice loot feel free to come join me

waxen forge
#

I've never heard of that

steady pilot
#

Yes prapor gives you welfare If your stash is literally under 50k value

#

Money is not difficult at all in this game

whole schooner
#

not really, no

subtle stratus
#

if im just seeing one of the blurry screens with no progress bar or anything

#

am i glitched?

whole schooner
#

if you dont have a deathwish anyway

#

huh..? wdym?

#

itd be easier to tell from a screenshot

#

@barren current you'd probably have more luck posting in #pvp-lfg

modern epoch
#

does it matter what you choose like bear or the other one??

subtle stratus
whole schooner
#

usec has the english voices

#

bear is russkie

#

you can still group with either

barren current
#

im not really looking for a group just offering help to new players, i can clear a map so i dont really need help lol

whole schooner
#

looks bugged then..

strange mural
#

what even is thbis stat

#

and why am i stupid

subtle stratus
#

the only way is up

barren current
#

has no real effect so far

subtle stratus
#

growth mindset

strange mural
#

it just seems like search skill

#

man im slow at this game

#

a lot of people have raced past me in xp

waxen forge
#

If they are doing tasks and you are not then they will level much faster

spare juniper
#

Woods is not a fun map

strange mural
#

yeah i know bud

#

im just very put off by tasks

#

and my play time has dwindled

steady pilot
#

Wdym woods is a great map

strange mural
#

woods is basically sniper porn

steady pilot
#

Slapping kiddies from 300-500m and they hear bullets smacking next to them with no gun report and they panic

strange mural
#

thats me

#

carry me delta

steady pilot
#

I cant carry shit

strange mural
#

good bait
kill everybody

#

guess i should just hatchet run all these quests

steady pilot
#

Although I had a really cool 1 v 3 outplay theday before and that was my best thing for like several wipes

#

Was literally a 7min long fight lmao

strange mural
#

i peaked day one

fierce sundial
#

gamma box cannot be looted and everything inside is safe. is this correct?

strange mural
#

yes

steady pilot
#

Yes

strange mural
#

as long as it is in your pouch slot

steady pilot
#

strange mural
#

it will stay there until you remove it

steady pilot
#

Beat me

fierce sundial
#

nice ty

strange mural
#

hyaha EZDance

#

now you have to raid with me delta

fierce sundial
#

I tried some scav raids to get the feel of the game first before I went with my stuff

steady pilot
#

Yeah it's basically the noobs box for always progressing by putting high value items in it

#

Yes scaving is good

#

For nubs

#

Ecks dee

#

Try some offline mode too. You can spawn without scavs and use up no ammo or lose anything in raid

strange mural
#

do pmc offline while scav is on cooldown

#

best plan

steady pilot
#

For learning

cobalt peak
#

most usefull not so expensive shoreline keys not in resort?

steady pilot
#

And use veprkm. Its 15k on market and scavs ddop it like crazy. Reliable and cheap ๐Ÿ‘Œ

#

Wdym most keys are in resortlul

brazen owl
#

My region is saying its USA

frank beacon
#

for quests that say shit like

#

find 60 round mags

#

can i just find them on my scav?

waxen forge
#

Yes

#

Can find items including Find In Raid items on scav

frank beacon
#

ok just double checking

waxen forge
#

CANNOT find quest specific items on scav like the golden zibbo or bronze pocket watch

bold kernel
#

i just started playing the game today and 5/10 matches in a group the members start shooting at me does this happens alot?

waxen forge
#

Are you grouping with rando you meet in lobby?

frank beacon
#

lol

fickle kettle
#

dont use group match making

waxen forge
#

To meet Rando ^

#

use it to play with friends or people you meet here.

#

Need comms to play this game with teammates

bold kernel
#

yeah i play with randoms, none of my firends has this game

quartz stag
#

reserve worth learning?

waxen forge
#

Never play with rando

bold kernel
#

ahh well thanks for the tip

#

ohh and watch out for JohnSmith__ hes the last one who invited me to the group , and aas soon game starts boom headshot

waxen forge
#

10-4

strange mural
#

thats expected from ingame randoms

#

basically facing random players

waxen forge
#

I play solo except for the rare occasion I play with a couple friends so should be fine.

steady pilot
#

CBA playing this game by myself

#

I've played for so long it just ain't fun without friends, although my adrenaline pumps solo much more lol

subtle stratus
#

is it common to spawn far away from ur friends?

steady pilot
#

Only as scav

subtle stratus
#

awww

steady pilot
#

Or if you walk alway

#

And someone still loading

#

Fucks with spawning too

strange mural
#

staying in the same area means the spawns will be in the same area most of the time

subtle stratus
#

mmmm okay

#

if i accept a task

#

is there any deadline or something to it?

icy summit
#

Sw_Delta is not fully correct.

#

In rare cases you can spawn away from your group as PMC

#

usually when one person takes alot longer to load

strange mural
#

no you can just take as long as you want

icy summit
#

No, there is no deadlines

strange mural
#

these quests are permanent and can take a while

icy summit
#

#badhabit

brazen owl
#

Me and my friends are on a 6 minute "matching" screen, is that normal?

strange mural
#

nyarla in those cases has the party moved away though

#

like we said

icy summit
#

less then normal, today is a backend hell.

steady pilot
#

Bruh I've spawned in over a 1000 raids with friends

icy summit
#

sorry for that, lots of tratic

steady pilot
#

No one has ever spawned far away unless we moved from initial position

strange mural
#

if you stay in the spawn area. everybody will spawn there.

icy summit
#

I had teammates spawn across the map.

#

while we waited for them.

steady pilot
#

Lmao?

#

This has never happened

icy summit
#

it was on a factory, so not that much of a problem.

#

in a 5 man team.

steady pilot
#

Because you moved from spawn

#

100% bet

icy summit
#

nobody left Gate 0 room

#

unless moving across it is enough

strange mural
#

after i was told about the fact that moving makes spawns fuck up

#

it hasnt happened once

fickle kettle
#

srs i like to play with ppl but most of the person in this discord is EU or NA

icy summit
#

And you are?

fickle kettle
#

meanwhile a loner JP sitting here sadbear

icy summit
#

brazen owl
#

steady pilot

steady pilot
#

@brazen owl waiting for players or matching?

#

If you match for more than 130 to 2mins

icy summit
#

steady pilot
#

Reset.

brazen owl
#

I'm matching, 8 minutes

steady pilot
#

Reset.

icy summit
#

steady pilot
#

Never wait past 2mins

icy summit
#

You don't have to do the repair again.

Tremors just time based, but if you have a fracture that can cause them

It can happen when you get hit in the head

Hey guys, struggling to find a beginners guide for newbies who bought EOD as their first version. Plenty of guides for newbie Standard but thought there might be better starting out strategies that take advantage of EOD without blowing all that loot on stupidity. Thanks!

only difference is dont use the armour which can be used for a quest if i recall the level 6 thing

zealous forge
#

Ah great Reserve crashes my PC every time I try to load in

steady pilot
#

Cause its unoptimized and very intensive

#

At one point it was using 7-9gb of ram

zealous forge
#

Yeah I'm only running 8 gbs so that's definitely the issue

steady pilot
#

Yyyyuup

spiral dirge
#

8gb in 2019

steady pilot
#

16gb or bust with intensive game m'dude

thick mist
#

Only 8 wtf

#

@zealous forge LOT of Black Friday deals going on right now so RAM should be stupid cheap

spiral dirge
#

ram has been stupid cheap for like 2 years now

#

dont need a black friday sale

thick mist
#

Ya but now it's stupider cheap

spiral dirge
#

can get 32gb for less than i paid for 16gb 3 years ago

zealous forge
#

Yeah I'm too Jewish to shill out the 30 dollars for the extra stick rn

Well

maybe you can look around for sale

if you try to add a random 8gb stick you're probably gonna have a bad time btw, just look for a 8x2 set

steady pilot
#

Yep

desert hull
#

@spiral dirge for about 1 year

#

but yeha

steady pilot
#

You get the same size and same kind of ram

desert hull
#

PSU prices skyrocketed though

spiral dirge
#

eh, they just havent gone done

#

down

desert hull
#

no PSU prices skyrocketd

#

$70 PSUs became $110

#

idk if they have went down since

zealous forge
#

I mean should be good if I match the timings/speed on the ram

steady pilot
#

Gold edition?

desert hull
#

was a problem for a long while

steady pilot
#

I have an evga 850 w gold

#

And ifrogot how much I paidlul

thick mist
#

RM750x price is down

#

I think I bought it last year at like $150

#

Now it's $120

spiral dirge
#

@zealous forge even with same timings if the ram is from different bins it can mess things up

subtle stratus
#

what AR do u guys suggest I buy?

#

im poor at 90k

#

and only got pistols

thick mist
#

No AR

icy summit
#

Well, well well

fickle kettle
#

Adar

subtle stratus
#

well any primary weapon

thick mist
#

I'd get a Vepr KM if you only have 90k left

icy summit
#

By AR you mean an AR-15 pattern rifle

spiral dirge
#

scav and extract when he has an ak

icy summit
#

or an assoult rifle

subtle stratus
#

just any primary wep

#

doesnt matter what kind

icy summit
#

Hmm

subtle stratus
#

pistol kinda limits my options

#

Who sells Vepr KM?

icy summit
#

AKM is a pretty good bang for your buck

desert hull
#

are you level 5 yet? @subtle stratus

thick mist
#

Flea Market sells it

subtle stratus
#

nope

thick mist
#

Wtf

desert hull
#

level 5 doesnt take long

#

couple raids

thick mist
#

Don't you start with 400k omg

steady pilot
#

300k

desert hull
#

once you're level 5 buy the VeprKM and SKS from flea market for cheap but effective guns

icy summit
#

300k is very little in todays economy.

steady pilot
#

Eod starts with 400k and 3k usd

thick mist
#

@subtle stratus have you been doing any of the quests?

icy summit
#

Your best boi right now is Prapor.

subtle stratus
#

I can go help you get started in about 30min

If you want.

subtle stratus
#

i spent it on my Stash/Hideout

desert hull
#

subtle stratus

pistol runs are A-OK though

thick mist
#

Yep!

desert hull
#

yeah but make sure you're not gonna lose much

bronze prism
#

you dont need to imo

thick mist
#

I think you might need to wait a bit longer? Forgot when the resets start

bronze prism
#

scav runs are free money

subtle stratus
#

I literally havent gained anything since i started

#

only lost

zealous forge
#

Oh wait got reserve to run on low texture

subtle stratus
#

im lv2

thick mist
#

You haven't been able to extract yet?

steady pilot
#

You can reset once every 3 weeks

subtle stratus
#

nope

zealous forge
#

Still got fucked 2 mins in but at least it worked

bronze prism
#

just scav and exfil with his guns, vest, etc

thick mist
#

Ah man

subtle stratus
#

WEAIT WHA STENCYL

thick mist
#

You really need to work on playing more careful

subtle stratus
#

i can exfil with whatever the scav has?

bronze prism
#

just do scav runs

#

yeah

#

you keep it

icy summit
#

yeap.

thick mist
#

Yeah of course

bronze prism
#

its free profit

round fractal
#

any experienced player want to help me and a friend?

steady pilot
#

That's why you scav as much as you can when poor

thick mist
#

As long as you can extract you get whatever you had/looted

spiral dirge
#

holy cow LUL

fickle kettle
#

@round fractal what server are you o-o ?

bronze prism
#

you can do factory for speed

#

or scav customs for safety

#

since there are a lot of ways to exfil out of the way

#

but factory runs can last literally 1:30

#

spawn in and run to camera

thick mist
#

Customs for safety? LOL

subtle stratus
#

do u have to wait 20min on scav even if u exfil?

spiral dirge
#

if my scav has an adar and armor or something i'll go customs and take it slow, if its a shotty or a pistol i'll go somewhere else and just try to frag, kill all scavs i see etc

thick mist
#

@subtle stratus yes

spiral dirge
#

but yes, scavs are literally free money if u extract

subtle stratus
#

wait so which map for safety?

spiral dirge
#

offline kappa

subtle stratus
#

lol

spiral dirge
#

anything but factory tbh

subtle stratus
#

as safe as u can get online to exfil ASAP

#

ya i did factory my first 2 raids....

#

...

thick mist
#

Personally I'd do either Woods or Shoreline

spiral dirge
#

shoreline is good, easy to avoid pvp

steady pilot
#

Interchange is the safest map

thick mist
#

Yeah I would not recommend Factory at all

steady pilot
#

And most money

bronze prism
#

disagree that inter is safest

spiral dirge
#

^

steady pilot
#

That's cause you dont know how to avoid basic paths

thick mist
#

That's where all the super experienced people go to get into quick rush PvP painball fights

#

(Factory)

steady pilot
#

Just avoid center mall and oli

#

And you live

#

Loot every where

thick mist
#

Also Interchange is generally safe as long as nobody is camping extract

#

No clue why there's still only two extracts on Interchange

lofty bane
#

wow...played my first round...got smoked in the first 60 seconds...safe to say i have no idea what im doing

thick mist
#

What map was it on?

spiral dirge
#

in before factory

thick mist
#

Yeah haha

lofty bane
#

Customs

spiral dirge
#

as PMC? did you just sprint CoD style into a bunch of scavs or something?

lofty bane
#

yea. Not necessarily. I spawned in the west (i think it was) and there were already people firing like wwIII in the warehouse.

frank beacon
#

someone probably just rushed his spawn

#

o

lofty bane
#

any recommendations on youtube vids or anything to watch for noobs?

spiral dirge
#

i wouldnt recommend running towards a wwIII style shootout especially as solo lol

lofty bane
#

@spiral dirge haha. true.

frank beacon
#

but honestly dont run towards a bunch of gunshots if you're new and dont have eyes on already

#

try to run as less as possible because i see a bunch of new players on customs stomping around nonstop and i just hear them a mile away

lofty bane
#

@frank beacon Thanks! I'll figure this thing out.

subtle stratus
#

does it count against u even if u exit an offline PMC game?

spiral dirge
#

nope

steady pilot
#

Yes

subtle stratus
#

,,,,,,,,,,,,

steady pilot
#

You lose your shitlul

#

Oh offline

#

No

frank beacon
steady pilot
#

Offline you can die shoot as much as you want you revert to original stash

zealous forge
#

Definitely not camping interchange extract now

steady pilot
#

It's a an asshole thing to do but...it works...

#

And smart. Let everyone loot for you Vodka

static kite
#

This where you come to get help in game?

steady pilot
#

Why work harder, work smarter

buoyant flume
#

What's the best way to throw grenades?

static kite
#

Okay can you help?

buoyant flume
#

I don't seem to throw em properly

steady pilot
#

Everyone can

static kite
#

Cause Iโ€™m at an extraction point and Iโ€™m not extracting

spiral dirge
#

use your throwing arm

steady pilot
#

Double tap O

static kite
#

I am

#

Old road gate

zealous forge
#

I had some fuck shoot me down at extract when I was scaving with a player's kit

spiral dirge
#

some extracts are only open for a certain amount of time

zealous forge
#

A cruel world makes a cruel man

steady pilot
#

What map

spiral dirge
#

or require money or other things

static kite
#

Customs

steady pilot
#

Sounds like a scav extract

static kite
#

It is

#

I am scaving and itโ€™s not letting me through

steady pilot
#

What other one you got

marble latch
#

hey! anyone know of a good cheap and effective vest for going to raids?

static kite
#

Crossroads

#

With 9 minutes left

steady pilot
#

Go to crossroads then

static kite
#

Iโ€™m screwed

#

Itโ€™s across the map

#

Okay thanks anyway

steady pilot
#

!wiki customs

broken quailBOT
modern steppe
#

are there any codes i can use to make the eod thing cheaper?

steady pilot
#

@static kite oh old road gate is a vehicle extract that needs 3k roubles

strange mural
#

No active ones thar i founf and they prolly wouldnt stack

spiral dirge
#

you can always upgrade to eod if you buy the basic

modern steppe
#

damn

steady pilot
#

If car is gone it's not open

modern steppe
#

ya i have basic rn

spiral dirge
#

ah

steady pilot
#

You can clear to crossroads in literally 3mins @static kite

static kite
#

Okay I made it

#

Thanks

fathom narwhal
#

congrats

neat spruce
#

is Customs still the best place to learn this game?

bold kernel
#

It's where your first tasks start. if you want to have an easier learning and looting experience interchange might go better.

#

But customs will be unavoidable for some progression

#

as is death

neat spruce
#

Yeah, I guess I just need to learn the map and spawn points better. It seems really common for players to rotate through the spawn points at the start of a match. Hard to do anything when I'm wielding a pistol and no armor.

barren current
#

customs involves a lot of quests like mrt said. you make enjoy other maps more it is an intense map but it must be learned at one point or another

frank beacon
#

interchange is honestly a pain in the ass

thick mist
#

@neat spruce are you using the online maps while you play?

#

Extremely useful to have them pulled up on second monitor or tablet/phone

neat spruce
#

I am using them, yes.

#

Still hard to orient yourself quickly when it's new. I think more offline games are in order so I know where to run to stay hidden and out of rotation paths.

bold kernel
#

It isn't uncommon for me to stick to a strong position near spawn for the first half of the raid.

#

and rush for task/extract with 10-15 minutes left. If you know the map then 5 minutes will get you across the map in most cases.

#

Later you move in the raid. more likely most ppl are dead and their is gear for you to switch to.

neat spruce
#

I'd like to try to get some scav kills, but maybe you're right: just find a place to sit tight so the other raiders go to the better loot locations.

bold kernel
#

Once you got a route and some supplies going. you can change it up more. night raids and such.

modern steppe
#

WHY TF DOES IT KEEP KICKING ME OUT OF DA GAME BRO

bold kernel
#

your network?

modern steppe
#

just trying to do a scav run

#

server connection lost

bold kernel
#

Just finished a scav raid alright. frame rate dropped to a bysmal 30 fps was weirdest it got.

mossy blaze
#

if i drink water while at 100% hydration will it give me metabolism experience?

warped belfry
#

Anyone tryna run?

marble latch
#

just fuckin died without even hearing a shot

#

just dropped dead

#

seems good

desert hull
#

happens

#

bullets are faster than sound

brazen owl
#

guys how do i see what kind of ammo my gun uses?

dim swan
#

In raid. Alt+T

#

Out of raid. Linked search the weapon

desert hull
#

@brazen owl you mean what its currently using

modern steppe
#

is the hunter worth a lot

desert hull
#

ie when you pick a new gun up?

#

or do you mean so you can buy new ammo

brazen owl
#

Both turbo,

#

I got what seems to be an AK

desert hull
#

in game you can hit ALT+T to check the mag

#

and it will tell you the caliber

brazen owl
#

Oh ok thanks

desert hull
#

you can also unload a mag

#

by right clicking one and hitting unload

brazen owl
#

And outside, when talking to prapor?

desert hull
#

just make sure the left click the mag again to stop it from fully unloading

#

you only want to take 1 bullet out

#

to check the bullet

#

when in the menu outside of a raid you can simply unload the mag like I said @brazen owl

#

or if you have no ammo actually on you or mags you can double click the gun and read the description

#

you can do that for all items

#

all guns have their ammo type listed in their stats if double clicked

brazen owl
#

Ok thanks turbo, I got a Viking Tactical UVG Tactical Grip, how do i know which weapons i can attach them to?

desert hull
#

you linked search the grip

#

this can only be done in the stash

#

right click the item and hit linked search

brazen owl
#

Sorry what is linked search?

desert hull
#

this will take you to the flea market where you can see all things that it can attach to

brazen owl
#

there's only examine and discard

desert hull
#

can only be done in your stash

#

not in raid

brazen owl
#

i meant inspect*

#

i'm on stash

#

"you cant use flea market right now"

desert hull
#

oh you need to be level 5

#

until then, the grips basically all need an underrail on the handguard of the gun

#

most grips will go right on any rail

#

though some may need a 4 or 4.1" mount

#

once you are level 5 you can use this option

brazen owl
#

Oh ok

desert hull
#

then on the left on the menu it takes you to

#

you can see all things it will attach to

#

for example all these handguards

brazen owl
#

Oh nice

#

I'm a beginner, should I sell stuff like this?

desert hull
#

linked search only finds what that item can attach to though

brazen owl
#

My stash is getting full

desert hull
#

so if an item needs say, a mount

#

it will only show that mount

#

not any guns specifically

#

screenshot what you want to ask about

#

or do you just mean that grip

brazen owl
#

Sold that grip

#

Turbo

#

I got this gun from a scav

#

I wanted to use it on my PMC, where can I find the magazine and ammo it uses?

modern steppe
#

epic

desert hull
#

Vepr KM is a very nice early gun

modern steppe
#

worth a bit i believe

desert hull
#

it's just a civilianized AKM

toxic sand
#

Hey, so I pre-ordered and everything, how do I get access to the game?

desert hull
#

so semi auto locked

#

but otherwise identical

#

wait for the email that tells you that you're ready to play @toxic sand

toxic sand
#

Okay

#

Ty

desert hull
#

or you can just refresh that profile page until the install button shows up @toxic sand

toxic sand
#

How long does the email take usually?

desert hull
#

@brazen owl I can just tell you what mags and ammo

#

since you cant use flea market yet

#

@toxic sand usually very fast, today it might be 30m-2hrs

#

because of high traffic

#

or could be 10m

brazen owl
#

Ok, turbo, I wanted to buy one more mag and 90 bullets

desert hull
#

you can only buy 10 rounders rn

#

so I'd buy 2-3

#

1 in the gun, at least 2-3 backups

brazen owl
#

Who I talk to?

toxic sand
#

Okay, thanks @desert hull

desert hull
#

@brazen owl Skier has the mags

#

pictured

#

prapor has the ammo, pictured

tiny void
#

just cleaned up interchange only to get picked off by a scav near exit, fml

desert hull
#

make sure to buy PS

tiny void
#

tetriz gfx card

desert hull
#

not HP or anything else

tiny void
#

lots of shit

desert hull
#

@tiny void it happens

#

I had the same thing happen except I saw him first

#

and took him out with the mosin

#

people are always camping interchange extracts

#

especially emercom

tiny void
#

it was my fault, i thought railway one was open

fathom lotus
#

Anyone want to do some raids

tiny void
#

so i headed to that first

brazen owl
#

Ok, it can only be that ammo or any 7.62? because i have some other types of 762

desert hull
#

any 7.62x39

#

but generally you only want to use PS or BP

#

for that caliber I mean

#

specifically

#

7.62x51 and 7.62x54r are different calibers

brazen owl
#

Ok and the magazine only that one, right?

desert hull
#

don't get them confused

brazen owl
#

Sure

desert hull
#

the magazines will accept 7.62x39

#

or .366

#

.366 is shit ammo though

#

fair warning, pay attention cause this is important @brazen owl

brazen owl
#

I have a Izmash 30 round for .762x39

#

Can I use it and have "reserve" 10 rounders?

frank beacon
#

getting lost in interchange and getting all my limbs blown off by a scav when trying to find my bearings is fun pepeLaughing

desert hull
#

yes @brazen owl

#

and thats a good idea

#

use the 30rd as the main mag and the 10rders as backup

#

then if you ever get out of a fight with a 10rder loaded

#

pack the 30rder again and put it back in

zealous forge
#

Oh yeah I got a DD wave suppressor is that worth holding on to?

desert hull
#

35k on flea @zealous forge

#

fits onto FAL/SA-58 rifles

#

@brazen owl Do you see that gun pictured above?

zealous forge
#

Nice then

desert hull
#

Do not ever use this unless you have any other weapon lol

#

and it looks identical to the Vepr KM 7.62 rifle you have

#

so you need to read the name of the gun before you pick it up

brazen owl
#

Ok

#

May I ask why?

desert hull
#

It's the same rifle but chambered in .366

#

and .366 is a very shit round

#

does good damage but has no penetration

brazen owl
#

Thats the one I'm using

desert hull
#

so if anybody has any armor at all it will bounce off

barren current
#

best tip ever never use 366

desert hull
#

its also the only gun to ever use that ammo

#

ALSO check mags you find to see if they're loaded with 7.62 or if they're loaded with useless .366 @brazen owl

#

because the mags are interchangable with both calibers

#

and it will let you load that mag into your 7.62 AK

#

only for you to find out you have the wrong rounds and they don't feed

brazen owl
#

Ok thats what I'm planning my loadout to be

#

See if there's anything wrong with it, if possible

desert hull
#

buy PACA

#

from ragman

brazen owl
#

PACA? Ok

desert hull
#

its low tier armor but it'lls top you from getting killed by pistols SMGs and shotguns

#

at least for the most part

brazen owl
#

18k?

desert hull
#

yes

brazen owl
#

Ok, going to

desert hull
#

It's worth the insurance cost if you feel me

#

you don't want to get one shot by a 12 gauge

#

that armor will stop buckshot

#

not rifle rounds though

modern steppe
#

finna buy eod soosn

brazen owl
modern steppe
#

turboclicker wanna run interchange in a min

desert hull
#

also make sure to load your rifle lol

brazen owl
#

Like this, right?

desert hull
#

you can also combine the 2 30 bullet stacks into one stack

brazen owl
#

Another thing, should I take water and food with me?

desert hull
#

depends

#

you're full on food and water right now

#

if you're going to a smaller map (factory, customs) it's probably not worth worrying about, you wont be there long enough presuambly

brazen owl
desert hull
#

if it's a bigger map it's worth taking

brazen owl
desert hull
#

also depends on how long you take in raids

brazen owl
#

I'm going to Customs

desert hull
#

and if you want to just find water/food on scavs and in the enviroment

brazen owl
#

We play safe usually, so we leave when there's 7~8 minutes left

desert hull
#

yeah I'd bring a water bottle then

bold kernel
#

take some and go offline. take ur time finding loot points and scav spawns. do laps over the map. then do it again and see where and how loot changes.

desert hull
#

and probably a can of food

brazen owl
#

Ok

desert hull
#

both are cheap

#

water is 2-3k from therapist

#

you start with some too

#

food is more expensive but you probably have some cans

bold kernel
#

Get to know your limits and map supplies. you can live off just what the raids provide.

brazen owl
desert hull
#

yeah looks good

#

just play slow since you aren't super armored

#

and don't have many meds

brazen owl
#

Alright. Yeah we play slow

desert hull
#

you don't want to risk getting shot

#

if you hear people close don't be afraid to camp in a small room or in a bush for a bit for them to pass

brazen owl
#

I'm trying to do Prapor's quest to kill 5 deadbeats and deliver 2 shotguns

desert hull
#

yeah

#

remember you can buy those shotguns at level 5

barren current
#

@brazen owl i would have the bandage and ai2 on hot key atleast the bandage to stop bleeding

desert hull
#

so don't sweat too hard on the shotguns

brazen owl
#

How do i put them on a hotkey?

wet ledge
#

is there speed hack on tarkov?

desert hull
#

but if you find them in raid the more te merrier

#

@brazen owl put which?

#

I wouldn't worry about hotkeying food

#

if its meds, they have to be in your pockets or rig

brazen owl
#

Oh ok

desert hull
#

and you hover your mouse over them and press the number

brazen owl
#

Gonna put bandage on hotkey

desert hull
#

or alternatively drag them to the bottom numbers

#

I would hotkey AI-2 as well

wet ledge
#

feel like i saw someone moving at weird speed

desert hull
#

splint can stay

#

painkillers 100% need to be hotkeyed

brazen owl
#

Not being able to do that

#

Its on my vest

desert hull
#

if you get your arm or leg blacked you're going to want to quickly painkiller to be able to use the limb

#

@brazen owl drag the item to the hotbar at the bottom then

#

alternatively

brazen owl
#

Oh, couldn't put on 123 or V, but on 4 and forward I could

steady pendant
#

when you get shot once and your game freezes for 10 seconds only to see yourself dead when the game's back

desert hull
#

yeah 1-2-3 is reserved for weapons

#

V is your melee

#

yeah game has a bad problem with stutters @steady pendant

#

there are some steps you can take to minimize them

#

if you want to know

steady pendant
#

nah

#

on shorelines it's no longer stutters

brazen owl
steady pendant
#

i jsut freeze until someone stops shooting

brazen owl
#

Thanks a lot turbo

desert hull
#

another tip

#

@brazen owl

#

your mag needs a space to go into your rig when you reload

#

so the way you have it is currently good

#

but don't fill those 2 slots

brazen owl
#

Ok, keeping 2 slots

#

yeah

desert hull
#

your guy takes the mag out

#

inserts into rig

#

then takes the next one and inserts into gun

#

if he has no slot to put the mag in he will just drop it

#

double tapping R does a speed reload where your guy just skips that and throws it

#

so don't spam R either if you want to keep the mag

zealous forge
#

Bruh you can level up offline

desert hull
#

you dont

#

I mean you can but you don't retain levels

zealous forge
#

Oh I'm pretty sure I did

desert hull
#

you didnt

#

100%

brazen owl
#

Oh ok

zealous forge
#

Fuck I didn't

#

I was excited for a minute

desert hull
#

also pockets are used as rig space @brazen owl

#

so the 10rders can go into pocket spaces too

brazen owl
#

What compensator should I use? VPO- 136 / DGNAK47B?

desert hull
#

the stock one probably

#

unless you have one to use right now

brazen owl
#

I have the DGNAK47B

#

Which I got from someone

#

And the VPO, which came in the gun

#

DGNAK gives -12% less recoil

desert hull
#

cant find any attachment under that name

brazen owl
#

VPO, 3%

desert hull
#

what is the exact name

brazen owl
desert hull
brazen owl
#

Yep, that one

desert hull
#

fairly expensive

#

may be worth saving to sell, but its up to you

#

Vepr doesnt have a whole lot of recoil being locked to semi @brazen owl

#

personally I'd save it to use on an AKM

#

which would actually benefit greatly from it

brazen owl
#

Ok, thanks turbo

#

thanks a lot

desert hull
#

np

#

don't be afraid to @desert hull me at anytime if you have any other questions @brazen owl

brazen owl
#

Ok ๐Ÿ‘

noble pasture
#

where do i download this game

neat spruce
#

It can take a few hours to get the invite and the install button will appear on your profile page on escapefromtarkov.com

#

I bought the game last night at 11pm and the email for the open beta arrived at 3am

desert hull
#

@noble pasture Have you received the email saying you are ready to install yet?

bold kernel
#

killing other pmc's is fun, but it's really satisfying to one tap the player scavs that just bush whacked some pmc's and thought they were gonna get out without a worry hehe

rocky ocean
#

Is there a difference between bear and usec?

bold kernel
#

different tactical clothing, i think

desert hull
#

@rocky ocean they have different clothing and different voice actors

#

usec has 3 voice actors to choose from, bear has 2

#

also.... usecs are american

#

bears are russian

#

and they don't speak english in a heavy accent either

#

they're russian

#

no gameplay differences besides that

noble pasture
#

just a registration complete email

rocky ocean
#

thanks for the infos!

neat spruce
#

@noble pasture yep, you'll get an email like this:

#

oops, guess no pics can be posted here...

desert hull
sage sun
#

Can someone help me on factory get good loot?

desert hull
#

@neat spruce

#

@noble pasture

#

you are waiting for that email

#

it may have changed, that was the email last year

sage sun
#

Wait

#

What is a sherpa

desert hull
#

but it will be similar

#

like a teacher

#

certified ppl that teach new players

#

just means they're helpful

sage sun
#

OH

#

You are helpful also though

#

you are the only one whos given me advice

desert hull
#

I'm not experienced enough yet

#

still learning myself

#

also haven't been around long enough I suppose

#

Factory isn't an easy map for beginners by the way, though a lot of new players gravitate towards it because of it being the smallest map and the easiest to learn

rocky ocean
#

we could make a inexperienced squad haha ๐Ÿ˜„

desert hull
#

it has a large focus on PvP instead of looting

sage sun
#

Idek how the squads work

desert hull
#

I'd be down to play with some players though

sage sun
#

I was invited to a squad but when we joined no one was with me
