beginners-assistance

[shell verge]

it is

[feral gorge]

From 50k and above

[zealous forge]

Ah Prapor is 49k rn

[shell verge]

yeah it worth more than a lot of the guns you spawn in as a scav with

[desert hull]

@feral gorge

last kill

it was a trio

[feral gorge]

[desert hull]

god gun

[fickle kettle]

epicc

[desert hull]

loot gud

[zealous forge]

Bruh

[spare juniper]

[desert hull]

the real question is

do they think I was a pscav

or just one feisty ass cheeki breeki AI

cause that was 2 one taps and 1 2 tap

[spare juniper]

Probably a pscav with that much headshots

Also what’s the keys for doing emotes

[desert hull]

only 1 was headshot

2 were thorax

vepr hunter is god gun

double tap Y @spare juniper

[spare juniper]

Than ka

[little hinge]

Hey people, I need some medium level tips (instead of beginner) I keep bringing average builds (60-100k) into raids and get one tapped anyway, kinda fed up with losing money all the time and I only have 1m. What's a relatively safe way to earn some money?

[desert hull]

Are you opposed to cheesing

[little hinge]

I don't know what's that

[desert hull]

Not cheating right

but "Cheesing" the game

ill just get to the point

[little hinge]

I mean if it does not include camping and stuff like that

[desert hull]

selecting dead servers so theres less ppl in raids

then theres less competition

so you can kill scavs and loot more

[little hinge]

server with long matching time?

[desert hull]

yes

are you NA

[little hinge]

no, east EU

[desert hull]

select something with high match time

ppl say warsaw works

maybe some german servers

but only select one server

there will still be people in the raid but less than you're used to probbly

also play at night

like in game

[little hinge]

Alright I got the idea, might try it

[desert hull]

not as many ppl do night raids

or even do evening raids

at like 20-22

[little hinge]

but I cant even see where I'm going 😄

[desert hull]

time

use NVG

NVG isnt that expensive rn

40k for a class 4 helmet, like 50k total for the entire NVG setup

so 90k for helmet with full NVG

and you're not likely to die at night cause nobody plays night raids much, especially on dead servers

[tawny quiver]

I personally love night raids but it’s not worth unless your going with good players

[desert hull]

play bigger maps too

wym @tawny quiver

I do it solo all the time

[tawny quiver]

If u have a 5 man of level 20s on factory and I think I’m like 18/18

I do too

[desert hull]

lol factory aint for money

its purely a pvp map

maybe xp grinding

[tawny quiver]

I’m just saying if your super new but have good gun skill it’s worth

[little hinge]

I'm gonna try dead server thing first, night setup is going to be too expensive and I lost too much already

[desert hull]

well you have 1m

[tawny quiver]

Turbo what level r u

[fickle kettle]

just play scav

[desert hull]

26-27

[tawny quiver]

Nic

Nice

Do u wanna play tomorrow I’m not on now

[desert hull]

if you're not butt

and on NA

[tawny quiver]

I am

[desert hull]

are you butt tho

[tawny quiver]

No

[desert hull]

then we can play

[tawny quiver]

I’ve been player 4 days and have 5.2 mil

[desert hull]

no offense to anyone reading this but been playing with a ton of new ppl lately teaching them

[tawny quiver]

Playing I mean

[desert hull]

and it gets exhausting having them do stuff over and over you tell them not to do

[tawny quiver]

I have 82% extract

[desert hull]

really good

must play pretty safe

[tawny quiver]

And 9.7 kd

I think I’m pretty good is all I’m saying

[desert hull]

explains the 5.2m

not dying makes money

[tawny quiver]

Ye

Yep

I ran scav once and made 800k simply off guns and gear no keys or shit like that

[desert hull]

seems unlikely

even modded FALs and M4s don't get that high

[finite pike]

anyone willing to help me out?

[desert hull]

withj what

[tawny quiver]

2 decked m4s and an decked akm plus other shit trust me dude

[finite pike]

I just got the game, got no clue whats going on

[tawny quiver]

So r u gonna be in tomorrow turbo

[desert hull]

feel free to ask questions here

[fickle kettle]

what server are you playing ?

[desert hull]

or you can voice chat

@tawny quiver ye

[tawny quiver]

Ok

[finite pike]

i was going to go vc

[tawny quiver]

Add me on discord and we can play then

[faint violet]

brought my sks to a raid for the first time

I dc and the game wont let me back

;-;

[sand apex]

aw

[faint violet]

I had like 4 20rnd mags

[sand apex]

sucks

[fickle kettle]

@faint violet just use 1 20rnd mag

[faint violet]

they told me not to take your advice

ill listen anyways

go on please

[fickle kettle]

@feral gorge LOL this is YOUR FAULT

anyway if you are low on money just take 1 20rnd mag

and den reload like old fashion way

cause the reload give your exp for drill mag + assult gun skill

[lost jolt]

I'm assuming going as a Scav will be my best way to test settings / PC can actually run the game etc?

[fickle kettle]

@lost jolt there is offline mode

[faint violet]

you can use that to [re;pad maps

stroke

help

[lost jolt]

RIP

[faint violet]

preload*

[spare juniper]

It’s so fucking cold here my hands are like locked

[faint violet]

yeah dude

this game gives me the shivers

and its cold.

[fickle kettle]

just prepare a good chair

once of this day you guys gonna get jumped lol

[subtle stratus]

aaaaaa eventually ended up getting frustrated playing with friends

[faint violet]

im so poor

only have like 40k

[fickle kettle]

rip died too much ?

[faint violet]

yes

[ruby sedge]

You'll get there bud

[fickle kettle]

ah trust me you will get well with game

@faint violet if you need supply or loot run just tell me

[faint violet]

probably in a sec

[fickle kettle]

i can take you to asia server for loot 👌

[faint violet]

asia

im on east coast usa

[fickle kettle]

ik

[faint violet]

I will have 20 decades ping

[bronze prism]

it took me like

10 runs to start getting the hang of it

[faint violet]

I can get like 8 kills on non players

maybe kill 2 players

but I dont know where to extract

[sand apex]

the wiki has good maps that can help

[faint violet]

ik

[bronze prism]

oh the extracts are the easy part

how u at 40k if you can routinely get around 10 kills

im not that consistent and im at 1.3 million

[faint violet]

im poor

donate me money

ill do services

[lost jolt]

Welp. That scav life didn't last long. I'm going to have to look into how to identify scav vs player.

[bronze prism]

clothes

[faint violet]

@fickle kettle

ok I need that loot run

[bronze prism]

i can spot bear from a mile away

green ass longjohns

[lost jolt]

I'll probably just find a new player guide quick. Not knowing if the character was friend or foe cost me that fight. But first time in the game, so can't be upset.

[faint violet]

anyone wanna play?

I need loot to sell really bad

[fickle kettle]

lol

are you really willing to play with high ping xd ?

[faint violet]

idc dude

I need money so god damn

[fickle kettle]

haha let me d/c this scav run first

[faint violet]

ok

[fickle kettle]

make room for your ser container ok xd ?

[faint violet]

stash?

[fickle kettle]

no your gramma or alpha

[faint violet]

alpha is 2x2

what room is there to make

[errant snow]

Yeah, it's useful if you find keys

Or even keycards on dead players

[faint violet]

I keep meds and shit in there

since I never survive

[errant snow]

Think about it this way

You put a keycard in there and you die, you keep the card

[zealous forge]

@lost jolt are you talking about player scav vs ai or pmc vs scav?

[errant snow]

And you can buy back 10x the meds

[brisk violet]

what map should i start with as a new player

and any tips

[errant snow]

Or if you find a key for a nice loot room

[fickle kettle]

@faint violet ok get a vc room xd

[faint violet]

im in one

[errant snow]

You can stash it and keep it for later

[faint violet]

quad delta

[lost jolt]

Honestly? All of the above. It was my first time in game, and I just wanted to run one before bed. Probably should've read more, but sometimes you just want to play.

[zealous forge]

Well the best way to learn is definitely playing

[faint violet]

yeah

[errant snow]

@lost jolt The best tip I got is, if they sprint, it's a player

[strong trout]

Scavs sprint too tho

[errant snow]

And if they sprint then shoot something its most likely AI

[lost jolt]

Downside is looks like Scav timer is 20 minutes, but I'll probably get a few rounds tomorrow before work.

[zealous forge]

For the like two days on I've noticed that the ai walk slowly in straight lines and don't look around when walking

[errant snow]

Oh yeah that too lol

[faint violet]

@fickle kettle Loli_Slurpr

[zealous forge]

And stop to do a weird robotic scan for looking around

[errant snow]

They kinda just...patrol and look around

[zealous forge]

Player scav vs pmc is harder and gear is your best bet

But typically them shooting you is the best indicator lmao

And even then player scavs are a true wildcard and will take the shot

Had some scav player shoot me less than a minute into Reserve despite all I had was a cut down Mosin

It did have a suppressor though

[errant snow]

Had a scav wiggle at me and I dropped him, had some fat loot for a player scav

Nice big bag, loads of meds, AK

Made another 50k off him

[fickle kettle]

scav life matter

[solar crypt]

@errant snow Asshole...

lol

jk

[errant snow]

Don't trust no-one now, I wiggled before and got dropped at extract many times

[split vapor]

[errant snow]

Saying that, one guy did leave with me after we exchanged loot for loot so

[prisma girder]

how much should I be using the flea market? Pretty much every item is worth more on there, but then i wont level up traders
how should I do it?

[brisk violet]

what map should i start on as a new player

[noble fog]

@prisma girder when u need to level traders just buy a ton of pistols or whatever from them and sell them right back to him

Sell everything that's valuable on the flea market

[prisma girder]

thanks

[errant snow]

@brisk violet Most say Interchange/Customs but I suggest going offline in them first

[strong trout]

@brisk violet customs is prolly the most important cause you need it for quests, but I find interchange to be the easiest to survive

[spare juniper]

I’m so stupid I got into a gunfight without putting down my visor I got the first two guys but died to the third

[errant snow]

I advise you do that

[noble fog]

Why is the m700 "better" than the mosin? There both bolt actions what makes one better

I see all the big boys using m700 and idk why

Able to use better scopes maybe?

[half jackal]

Mosin and M700 use different ammo

[noble fog]

Isn't 7.62x54r a really big dick bullet though

Like better then the 762 nato

[brazen owl]

Anyone has a video tutorial of how to play as scav?

[bold kernel]

What's a good map to start on?

[half jackal]

Im pretty sure it has more drop too

[noble fog]

Oh that might be it

[half jackal]

just use whatever you like

whatever works for you

theres no right or wrong answer

[noble fog]

Gotcha

I don't think u can put really nice scopes on the mosin just the ghetto pu scopes

That's prob it

[half jackal]

@bold kernel Learn:
Interchange for looting
Customs for questing
Woods for sniping
Factory for deathmatch
Reserve for PVP/Looting
Shoreline for questing/PVP/looting

[modern steppe]

kiba worth it if im farming interchange?

[half jackal]

uh

Kiba is pretty meh

[brazen owl]

Any tutorials on how to Scav?

[bold kernel]

Thank you!

[modern steppe]

dont have much cash

tryna farm some money

[half jackal]

I dont think you should

[bold kernel]

I'm launching the game for the first time and have no idea what to expect lol

[noble fog]

@brazen owl just search it on YouTube there's tons

[brisk violet]

how do i go in offline

[half jackal]

just run Oli/Tech stores and pick up everything, sell on flea and learn value/slot and then go from there

[noble fog]

@bold kernel ur cheeks are going to be divided

[modern steppe]

okie

[half jackal]

@brisk violet After you select your map you can enable offline mode

[brisk violet]

okay thanks

[modern steppe]

these damn scavs keep getting me on interchange tho

[bold kernel]

I don't doubt that @noble fog lol

[half jackal]

Yeah scavs are a bitch to deal with when you're new

they still fuck you over occasionally later on too

[bold kernel]

should i do BEAR or USEC?

[modern steppe]

usec imo

[errant snow]

Don't worry @modern steppe eventually they become Easier to take down

[half jackal]

USEC if you want to use voicelines in english

[errant snow]

I say easier loosely due to the...random aimbot they pull out their ass sometimes

[subtle stratus]

can we get resources pinned here?

[bold kernel]

What are the differences? Probably going to go USEC but wanna know what each is

[errant snow]

#wiki-chat

[bold kernel]

kk

[errant snow]

All Tarkov resources on the website

[bold kernel]

thank you

[modern steppe]

is kiba unlimited use?

[half jackal]

Not much right now, aside from different clothing options BEAR is russian voicelines/voice commands and USEC is english

[modern steppe]

bc why not if im gonna hit it every time i go interchange?

[subtle stratus]

eftmkg has better maps tho

[half jackal]

Kiba is unlimited use

Kiba is right next to where Killa chills

[errant snow]

Oh maps? I dunno where to go for them

I use the wiki to look up items now

[half jackal]

so if you're new you are going to get massacred

but you can buy the key, run it a few times and then resell if you dont like

[errant snow]

Mess with Killa get ready to pay the billa

[bold kernel]

When I start should I go to Character first orrr??

[errant snow]

I'd go offline mode imo

Get used to the game in your own pace

[half jackal]

uh up to you tbh

[bold kernel]

No I mean like do i click Escape From tarkov or Character lol

[errant snow]

Ohhhhh

[half jackal]

Escape from Tarkov is how you start a raid

[bold kernel]

Like what should I check out first

Okok

[half jackal]

character

[errant snow]

Escape from Tarkov to select PMCS or Scav, character to see what you got etc

[bold kernel]

Alright

Oh lord I can already see myself forgetting something in my inventory and then getting absolutely fucked over lmao

[modern steppe]

wait so u need 2 kiba keys?

[half jackal]

Yup

theres an outer door and inner grate door

Kiba 1 (outer door) is found on scavs and sells for 1.1-1.6m, Kiba 2 (grate door) is given from gunsmith 11 quest and sells for ~100-180k

[modern steppe]

damb

1.1 mil kms

[half jackal]

yeah its expensive

tbh dont go for it

if you're not used to dealing with killa you will get annihilated in 35% of raids

not to mention its in the highest traffic part of the map

and surrounded by scavs

[modern steppe]

ah u right

[half jackal]

and tbh

[modern steppe]

do u mind adding me and showing me how to farm interchange tomorrow?

[half jackal]

you can make more just running oli

if im online then sure :p - otherwise just ask here and someone will probably be happy to help

[errant snow]

I should have been doing that today but didn't feel like it

[modern steppe]

tanks

[brazen owl]

Anyone has a guide on what to loot on raids? I never know if I should take cigarettes, etc

[half jackal]

You should probably take everything except lighters/cigarettes

tplugs are common and worthless too

[desert hull]

cigs for bad habit tho

quest

[half jackal]

ah 7 of each?

[desert hull]

yes

[errant snow]

Aren't they used in hideouts and quests?

[desert hull]

besides apollos

[half jackal]

I have my wilst saved up

[subtle stratus]

oli on interchange?

[half jackal]

Yes

[bronze prism]

t plugs arent worthless

just use em to get the pp19

thats worth somethin

good for low risk scav killing raids too

[jovial pulsar]

Uuuuuuugh.

[half jackal]

Ah I should've said lower value/slot

[jovial pulsar]

It's always an extract camper, isn't it?

[errant snow]

Yup

[half jackal]

Unfortunately

Which map btw?

[errant snow]

That was the biggest part of my death streak this week

[jovial pulsar]

Factory.

[half jackal]

Yeah factory is basically deathmatch

and only has one obvious exit

[jovial pulsar]

He didn't even get me on the initial pass, which is the most infuriating.

Sprinted past him, wild spraying, followed by a game of ring around the rosie.

[bronze prism]

i always anticipate it

i fucking bodied an exfil camper on the bunker exfil on customs

[errant snow]

Bleh that sucks

Oh well, you'll have experience while they will die to smart people who will keep them poor forever

[lean nimbus]

can someone explain this to me

https://gyazo.com/cb44ef171cce99f0dc2b24dfd3338402

why is the fee nearly half

[errant snow]

I don't know, can someone explain to me too lol

[lean nimbus]

like this is really lame

i dont even have the money to put it on the market qq

[half jackal]

Market fees are related to what the game believes the item is valued at

which is somewhat related to existing offers

[errant snow]

So that 370k is the amount it will go up for if he hits the accept button?

[half jackal]

iirc, theres some items like this one where that system backfires

374k will be deducted from your stash

and then the item will go up for 800k like he listed

[lean nimbus]

but the item is selling for 900k lolol

[errant snow]

So he'll make 500k

If it sells

[half jackal]

yeah

fees arent normally that big

[errant snow]

Wowza

[lean nimbus]

never

[half jackal]

usually around 5-10%

[lean nimbus]

never that big

[half jackal]

they can be

[lean nimbus]

i've never seen it like that

[half jackal]

for example when croutons were 60k

[lean nimbus]

ever

[half jackal]

you'd pay 40k to list croutons for 60k

[lean nimbus]

wtf

should i just wait then>

?

or do these prices change all the time?

[half jackal]

uh

just list it when you get the money or make it a barter for other items

[lean nimbus]

okay

[desert hull]

solo play is so frustrating

constantly running into 4-5 mans

worst part is most of them are brainlets

[tidal nest]

anybody that is somewhat new or low level like me want to team up for a bit

[desert hull]

I can kill 1-3 but not 5

[errant snow]

Haven't run into a 2+ yet

I'm dreading it

[desert hull]

constant for me

its trash

no chance to survive

just kill as many as possible to deny them fun before you die

[errant snow]

Just become a big streamer and all the luck will come to you 😉

I hate offline mode

I found a bitcoin on Rashala

[half jackal]

pretty common actually

[errant snow]

Really?

[compact basin]

any tips on finishing Jaegers quests: Huntsman-Secure perimeter and Survivalist-Cold blooded -

[half jackal]

no

[tidal nest]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-blackish-anthony-anderson-tears-upset-gif-4988274

[desert hull]

fao

on dallas

ran into 6 PMCs on customs

in 2 minutes

[half jackal]

customs always shit show

doubt they were geared tho

[desert hull]

full gear

altyns

full mod m4s

one had fort

like actual fort

[half jackal]

u have nice luck

[desert hull]

truly

killed 3

cant kill fucking 6

[half jackal]

where were they

[desert hull]

old gas

of all places

we spawned there, left to go to checkpoint

heard gunshots 10m later

returned to kill players, found 2

one had fort and a full mod m1A

killed both

then after I loot the two 4 more show up

with altyns and shit

kill 1 of theirs but die to the other 3

you know how they killed me?

didnt even face me head on

shot my toes off under a van

like tickled my toes till i died

[modern steppe]

is red rebel worth it

might have to grind that 2 mil

[half jackal]

uh

depends if you play reserve constantly

[modern steppe]

i dont lol

what are macros

and why are they bad for flea

[half jackal]

a macro is setting it up so pressing or doing one thing automatically presses keys/does something

so like

clicking LMB and Y alternatively every 10 ms

[ruby sedge]

Rebel is very worth it, imo

[half jackal]

but it can go much more in-depth

[spare juniper]

No recoil MP5 is so beautiful

[ruby sedge]

3 or 4 decent runs and its paid off

[half jackal]

MP5 is amazing

[modern steppe]

bc how tf do peopel have 187 flea market rating

[half jackal]

bots

[ruby sedge]

I have 102 and I'm legit

[modern steppe]

fr Bm? i hardly know reserve

[crystal bone]

Hi

[half jackal]

or market manipulation

[modern steppe]

get shit on that map

[crystal bone]

I just got the game

[half jackal]

if you're just reselling shit to inflate FM rep

its one thing

but some people had 360 rep in the first two weeks, which is 3.6B rubles sold

[ruby sedge]

Very easily tow, pick up about 1m in keys are your golden

And*

[modern steppe]

reserve confuses the hell out of me

so much info

[ruby sedge]

You dont need the keys per se, but it takes the RNG out of the spawns a bit

[half jackal]

run scav on it a bit

learn the layout

though tbh I havent even done 1 reserve pmc run

[ruby sedge]

Imo once your start playing it it was one of the easier maps tonlearn

[half jackal]

just IC for loot and shoreline/customs for pvp

[modern steppe]

what is IC

[half jackal]

interchange

[ruby sedge]

Since they made ledx spawn in shoreline there's way less pestilings on reserve

[modern steppe]

ah ok

[ruby sedge]

Alot more fun to play

[modern steppe]

still havent done any quests

dont like them

[half jackal]

do them

first few quests suck

mid-game quests are neat

[modern steppe]

ya bc i fuckin hate customs

[half jackal]

yeah get through those

traders are so nice

to have

[subtle stratus]

Interchange is cool

Been playing all day and my eyes are too tired now

Had to reset once because I ended up splurging all my money in the beginning before I realized how valuable everything is

Buuuut on the way to profit now!

[modern steppe]

same aezy

add me if u wanna play together sometime

this game is great bc i can see it being the only game i play for like a year

[brazen owl]

I always play super slow as PMC but I always die, I play extremely agressively as Scav and always escape, what could I be doing wrong?

[patent granite]

I must be doing it wrong I only play customs lol

[half jackal]

too slow isnt always best

especially on certain maps

scav is also easy because usually you spawn in after the geared PMCs have left and scavs dont target you by default

[warped locust]

is there a way to know which toot is the final one for the reserve train

[patent granite]

Scavs run better and less likely to find pmc I guess? That’s my experience

[brazen owl]

Whats the strategy as PMC? Camp?

[compact basin]

@warped locust the first one happens, and the second one is one minute after. iirc.

[fickle kettle]

@brazen owl that is a strateg but not a honor 1 but it still a stra owob

and it still depend on do you wanted to lied down in 1 spot all game xd

[half jackal]

@brazen owl plan a route and move along it, try to predict where players could be

wandering around aimlessly is #1 way to get headshot

[fickle kettle]

loot a body in the middle of road too

[half jackal]

also

If theres one, theres two, if theres two, theres three, if theres three, theres four

[brazen owl]

How can I predict where players could be?

[half jackal]

Game sense

map knowledge

experience

[brazen owl]

People always spawn on the opposite side of me?

Or they could spawn nearby?

[half jackal]

learn spawn locations through experience

this game is 100% die and learn

[brazen owl]

ok

As a noob, should I take only pistol as PMC?

Or I should try to farm and get myself good equipment?

[marble blade]

can someone tell my stupid ass what to do with ammo boxes? its like i cant use them 😛 there must be way to get ammunition out

i tried to drag them to mags or mags to boxes

[smoky kindle]

You know the tiny gaps in the high concrete fences in customs at the office thing, I one tapped a dude through that, does that mean I am now a gamer and I get a red keycard?

[marble blade]

it means clearly you are hacker and get ban hammer ❤️

customs is lovely map though

i hate tight maps

[bold kernel]

@marble blade unload ammo from the boxes

right click

[marble blade]

but the box says only "display" or "discard" does this mean it has 0 ammo atm?

[bold kernel]

once you unload from ammo box it's basically useless I think

the box that is

[marble blade]

shows 16/16 mags inside

also just bought it

[half jackal]

oh

go to character

right click the box

unload ammo

[bold kernel]

that's 16 rounds i think

[marble blade]

oh

[bold kernel]

I said that lol

[half jackal]

also yeah 16 rounds

[bold kernel]

but yeah do that

[half jackal]

you cant really modify containers in trader menus

[marble blade]

that helps a lot lol

[half jackal]

which is where the confusion came from

!ammo

[tribal robin]

Official ammo table for Escape from Tarkov :

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ammunition

[half jackal]

huh

[marble blade]

ok then

[half jackal]

work out?

[marble blade]

yeah it works out

this ammo table is awesome

[half jackal]

Everything becomes easier once you unlock flea

[bold kernel]

pretty much

[lament scarab]

How do I change my name within this discord server back to my regular name?

[fickle kettle]

yes. my name is not usually Tarkov-Name-CrUA2R

its usually shiftuck

[fickle kettle]

just go to setting

[half jackal]

@lament scarab you cant

i guess ask a mod?

they changed your nickname at some point I think

[fickle kettle]

w8 wut i dont understand

[half jackal]

In discord you have two names

Discord name and server nickname

[fickle kettle]

but i thought he said discord name

[half jackal]

his discord name is his normal one

[fickle kettle]

ohhhh

[half jackal]

his nickname is changed, which means a mod did it

or something

[fickle kettle]

what have you done

[sour plume]

Is it ever realistically possible to land 6-7 consecutive full-auto shots into someone's arm at about ~80m? Lol

[bronze prism]

idk why not

[idle bluff]

If you guys need a name change, feel free to DM a mod or modmail about it ^^^

Already handled in this case

[sturdy snow]

completely beginning this game. can anybody play with me?

[leaden torrent]

Can some one explain why RB-PSP1 so damn expensive?

[compact basin]

So, as a standard account, when trying to max all traders, should I do all quests? or are there ones i should avoid?

[prisma girder]

why cant i give skier body armor

i have pacas

[compact basin]

he requires a different kind, 3M ones.

[prisma girder]

3m?

[spare juniper]

@junior boltrand I have around 50 hrs only but I’m down if you wanna play

@sturdy snow

[sturdy snow]

yessssss

[prisma girder]

Whats 3m @compact basin

[compact basin]

@prisma girder its called Module-3M bodyarmor

It's the white armor

[prisma girder]

kk

ty

[stone surge]

@compact basin do quests you can afford

the gunsmith one you eventually get are really good from mechanic

easy XP and you get your money back eventually aswell

[compact basin]

What I mean is, some quests hurts other traders rep. should i do those?

is there an optimal path?

[stone surge]

Not really

I mean

[strange mural]

in the end you would have wanted to finish all of the quests

for kappa

[stone surge]

let's say skier has 0.40 rep (which is required for tier 3)

and you have exactly 0.40

then i wouldn't do quests that lower that amount

because then skier will be tier 2

other than that, it doesnt matter, you get rep quite easily

I honestly only really "actively" do quests when I need the rep to level a trader up. This means i'll first try to get the other 2 rerquirements (level + money spent)

but this is different for everyone. I kinda hate doing quests so ya :d

[strange mural]

quests are sooo good xp but i hate em

[stone surge]

the gunsmith one is super neat

[compact basin]

Jaeger's rep is bleh.

[errant snow]

Hello Snu

[stone surge]

@compact basin getting jeager to tier 2 or 3 is kinda easy (0.35 rep)

but after that, absolutely disgusting

he has the worst quests

[crisp snow]

what is examine error#31

[errant snow]

No idea, I get it sometimes

[compact basin]

I'm stuck on getting him to level 2. He's at 0.16 and im stuck withKill PMCs in Factory Office (0.03) and PMC Headshots w/ Tremors (0.04)

[errant snow]

Does it have to be in the office?

[compact basin]

Office area

[errant snow]

Jeeze

I die coming out the gate let alone reaching the offices

[compact basin]

ikr

I'm at 7/10 on that - and still, that wont bring him to LL2

[errant snow]

Hope you get it going soon bud

I'm still trying to do customs scav kills and shotguns

[compact basin]

Good luck :)
Shotguns you can get off the Flea Market iirc

[strong trout]

Yeah they don’t need to be found in raid and they’re pretty cheap if you don’t wanna waste time looting for em

[errant snow]

Total nightmare, by the time I see a scav, I line up the shot so I don't fuck it up but take too long to fire

Usually dead or I miss

[ruby sedge]

I feel for you non eod guys on the jaeger tasks :/

Those tasks are aweful

[compact basin]

can you break your legs without blacking them out?

[errant snow]

Yes

[compact basin]

by jumping off something I mean

[errant snow]

Ya

Better have them splints ready to go

[compact basin]

Nah, i want Tremor 😛

[strange mural]

the tremor one pretty much requires you to kill friends

[ruby sedge]

You can use a stimulant

One of them give you a tremor after a couple minutes

[compact basin]

@ruby sedge not according to the wiki. must be dehydration or fractures

[strange mural]

yeah

because it gives dehydration

[errant snow]

Death by Snu Snu

[strange mural]

there are foods that are -hydration

[ruby sedge]

Really? That's lame

[errant snow]

Don't croutons do that?

[strange mural]

dehydration should be easier to manage though shouldnt it

[ruby sedge]

Yeah, you can grab some mayonnaise and eat the whole jar

Instant dehyd

[strange mural]

jesus christ what have we become

[ruby sedge]

American?

[strange mural]

eating mayo jars

[ruby sedge]

Lul

[strange mural]

i was planting the trackers on the tankers

and got done in by a scav

two bleeds

no bandages

[bold kernel]

I've just bought the game and I don't really use discord a lot but if I ever need someone is this the place to ask if anyone would join me in raids?

[strange mural]

yep

[errant snow]

#pvp-lfg

[strange mural]

do #news-setup and #521628660298678283

to unlock rest of the server

[bold kernel]

I think I did the setup

[strange mural]

and feel free to always ask here if you have questions

[bold kernel]

okay thank you

Oh I forgot to check the rules section. Thank you once again.

[smoky kindle]

I’m doing the delivery from the past quest, I have the docs thing but does it need to be the inventory quest item or can I gamma it somehow

Do I need to deliver it without dying and extract?

[long shale]

correct

even worse

the next mission requires you to take said docs into factory

and place it without dying

otherwise you need to get docs from customs all over again

definitely recommend watching some video guides so you know where to go/what to do

[ripe basin]

If I spawn with a Keycard on SCAV should I just extract?

[long shale]

I mean, its a risk reward

I'd definitely stop trying to do any risky maneuvers

and start heading in the direction of my extracts

[ripe basin]

Thanks! I managed to get out and sold it for 200k! 😮

[smoky kindle]

I did it and I was pinned in the tunnels I got 15 scav kills and ran out of ammo

What the duck is this quest

[ripe basin]

Were you on the quest where you get the docs from custom and take to factory?

[smoky kindle]

How do you even do it, I never spawn near the thing where I drop it off

I got the docs

And was dropping it off at factory

I die as after rubbing out of ammo because of scavs

[ripe basin]

That stupid quest took me almost an entire week. If you die in factory, you have to get the doc from Customs all over again

[errant snow]

That is

Incredibly dumb

[half jackal]

first try

just go factory night

[smoky kindle]

I did that

But I got such a bad spawn, they kept coming after me

[ripe basin]

If you're still on that quest later I'll team up with you to help complete. I'm going to bed right now.

[smoky kindle]

Thanks, I’m even more angry cuz a player scav just killed me like Bruh I’m on the same team

[errant snow]

Is it a rule for scavs to not shoot each other?

Or is it a thing that people just made up and live by

[ripe basin]

I have only had a couple of player scavs not kill me. I even try to do the wiggle thing and most of the time I end up getting shot.

[compact basin]

Well, its manners.
and its way more effective to hunt geared PMCs as a group of scavs.

[strange mural]

however

[errant snow]

Maybe I'll bump into that nice Scav again then lol

[strange mural]

player scavs will kill player scavs for safety most of the time.

its a risk not worth taking

[errant snow]

I sometimes get clapped by Scavs after doing the whole wiggle etiquette

So now it's pew pew

[compact basin]

i mean, if i just spawned as a scav and i see another player scav.. imma wiggle and hope to not get shot. unless i have a keycard ofc

[strange mural]

i do respect the wiggle.

but other people dont

i even had somebody fake wiggle me

i was spawning in late and there were player scavs wiggling on me the moment i loaded in

i wiggled back and they still slaid me

[errant snow]

^^^^^^^^^^

[strange mural]

thats disrespectful tbh

[errant snow]

They see I have a Mosin and clap me I guess

I'll be scav friendly again at somepoint but they will always take point

Not me lol

[compact basin]

oh yeah, definitely try and have them in los, otherwise chaos ensues

[errant snow]

I usually went first so they don't freak I'm about to pop them

And gain that trust of I'm not gonna kill ya

[undone hazel]

can anyone tell me how much the standard edition costs rn?

with the sale

[half jackal]

@undone hazel

probably around $36 after fees/tax

[wary crypt]

i found this google sheet for items to determine what to keep/ what ill need for quest items but i think its out of date cause i dont see a lot of stuff im finding. is there any newer resources liek this? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Yk-VriCy_8vDH4V9SsLwRYxem2mkzoDrULiaHZY5UGQ/edit#gid=0

[bold kernel]

is there any diffrenence between day and night? (in loot spawn)

[near merlin]

Any sherpa here willing to play few raids?

[ruby sedge]

No spartan

And I'd be careful airy that spreadsheet is very very outdates

Outdated*

@wary crypt https://amp.reddit.com/branch-redirect?creative=HeroImage&experiment=amp_link_post_to_app&path=%2Fr%2FEscapefromTarkov%2Fcomments%2Fdny4y3%2Fquest_items_to_keep_updated_for_012_early_wipe%2F&variant=treatment

[opal heath]

is the 114 key worth something?

[ruby sedge]

114 is a quest key, also has a safe computer and med container

[wary crypt]

@ruby sedge link doesnt work

[rocky trellis]

best ammo for kedr? i kinda like this weapon 🙂

[ruby sedge]

Bzt PST for kedr

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/dny4y3/quest_items_to_keep_updated_for_012_early_wipe/

How about that link

[rocky trellis]

thanks

[ruby sedge]

Np, I've got a forbidden love for the kedr too

[zealous swallow]

How do i select different option in the menu

When trying to open a door

[ruby sedge]

Scroll wheel

Most doors you cannot breach btw

Maybe one day :p

[crisp snow]

should i construct things in the hideout?

[neon owl]

Anybody want to run customs and show me what I’m doing? Or just want to play together PM me

[zealous swallow]

Extracted for first time as scav 😃

[neon owl]

Gz King

[bold kernel]

any way to check how many players are currently in the session?

[strange mural]

nah

[warm terrace]

Nope, could be anywhere within the min-max of the player count for each map @bold kernel

[ruby sedge]

I think nikita confirmed a raid can start with 2 people as well

@crisp snow it's a good idea in the long run, but if your new imo it's better to spend your money learning the game first

Then excess on your hideout

[fathom pawn]

does anyone wanna play with a noob like myself

[undone hazel]

yo, i modified the aks-74u for the gunsmith level 2 and I looked up all the parts needed and my ergo is at 59 😄 ?? Is that a bug or something?

[crisp snow]

k

[ruby sedge]

Did you take out the magazine if it isn't required?

[undone hazel]

60 round magazine is required

[ruby sedge]

Post a picture and I can give you a hand

[undone hazel]

ill send a pm

[ruby sedge]

Kk

[vague wind]

Do you need to fold it?

[ruby sedge]

We got it figured :)

[desert sinew]

Morning guys! im just getting started and i was wondering if any other noobie would like to go for a ride ;D

[ruby sedge]

Morning bud, and gl

[near merlin]

@desert sinew yo let me know when u wanna play. iam new to the game too.

[desert sinew]

cant see the chat :S

[ruby sedge]

@desert sinew go to #news-setup and finish the stuff

[fossil violet]

is there a trading channel in this discord?

[ruby sedge]

Not that I'm aware of

[robust jackal]

i'm going to do scav interchange looking for some flash drives for Skier quest anyone want to come with me?

going to check the big three stores

[crisp coral]

server down ???

stuck in loading screeen

[robust jackal]

sever is being potato yep

[bold kernel]

i am new and need help

[robust jackal]

took me 2 min to process selling a scav vest to skier

[waxen forge]

#521628660298678283 and #news-setup @bold kernel

[ruby sedge]

Damn :(

Was just heading out for a puff before a thicc boi nvg raid

[robust jackal]

tarkov giveth

[bold kernel]

oh thanks @robust jackal

[robust jackal]

tarkov taketh

[ruby sedge]

better then dcing and losing 800k tho i guess

[robust jackal]

think u tagged the wrong person buddy @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

yikes i did

[robust jackal]

XD

[ruby sedge]

welp, yeah its pretty down

so, hows everyone doing in tarkov today?

[errant snow]

I just got owned by Rashala

In a godly way

[ruby sedge]

yeah hes a sneaky fuck

[errant snow]

I took the jumping shortcut over the toilet and got capped in midair

[ruby sedge]

LOL

hasnt happened to me but my buddy and i were hopping over 1 after another

in sync, and he got domed mid air

i just turned around and walked around

[errant snow]

Rofl

I've got a nade with Rashala's name on it

[wary crypt]

i started playing today and i got 2 svd's on a scav run with the assistance of some people i met telling me where to go on discord stream xD

[errant snow]

I'm coming for him one day

[ruby sedge]

hell yeah

only tip i have for reshala is be agressive

dont try to fight from a distance

[half jackal]

Or do

SVD/M1A/etc annihilate his guards

[ruby sedge]

i mean whatever works for you

if hes in gas station easy pick off

[half jackal]

Just don’t half ass it

[ruby sedge]

but a dorms fight is not ideal

[half jackal]

Either go for it or stay out of range

[errant snow]

Yeah his guards are brutal, I got close and killed one of them and all I heard was: Russian yelling TRRRRR Death

[waxen forge]

First run of the day I pulled in a nice 500K money run on Interchange including a GPU for my bitcoin farm.

[ruby sedge]

solid solid

[vague wind]

I just get fucking mortared by his guards

[waxen forge]

12 more hours til the solar power part is done upgrading so I can upgrade the final stage of Bitcoin farm and my Hideout is done.

[errant snow]

Damn nice one

[bold kernel]

how do you get so much money in raids?

[waxen forge]

Interchange

I didn't shoot 1 person

[ruby sedge]

looting usually

[bold kernel]

damn

[waxen forge]

Ollie PC's a couple weapon crates and that was it.

[errant snow]

Lucky bugger

I always meet at least 3 - 4 AI/People

[waxen forge]

Not really lucky. That's typical Interchange money run

[lean dirge]

anyone wanna play me a noob? i have no weapons lol

[young lagoon]

Shoreline or interchange for money runs

[waxen forge]

It's easy to avoid people on a money run on interchange.

I say Interchange because it doesn't require keys.

Shoreline has more high tier loot like bitcoin/roler but they are behind locked doors and the resort is one big choke point.

[ruby sedge]

@lean dirge I can you ya through a raid or 2

[errant snow]

I end up in at least 2 gunfights and if I am lucky they potato

[ruby sedge]

Just waiting for the servers to pop back up

[errant snow]

Don't even loot them, I GTFO with the gear I got from the shops

I'm so scared xD

[bold kernel]

hey bmking can I join you? Im not super new but im still learning

@ruby sedge

[young lagoon]

I only go resort if I have a good spawn, I've been lucky and found 3 west 301 keys so I've sold 2 for 2m

[lean dirge]

@ruby sedge dm u

[jovial pulsar]

That moment when server hiccups leave the three extra mags you thought you had back in the stash. -_-

[young lagoon]

One taps all raid

[ruby sedge]

@bold kernel I'd struggle to teach 2 at the same time. I'll hit you up for the next raid if ur still on

[bold kernel]

ok thanks @ruby sedge

[novel cairn]

Love to get in a few co-op custom raids if anyone has the time....just picked up the game yesterday and loving it so far but there's a lot to take in lol

[ruby sedge]

@lean dirge im in duo Delta

[waxen forge]

#news-setup and #521628660298678283 @novel cairn

So you can see the whole discord

[novel cairn]

accepted the rules but the second question for language doesn't apply to me lol

[waxen forge]

I'd pick the best option so you can see discord

[vague wind]

Player scav exit camper on factory 3 times in a row seriously

[crimson galleon]

hey how do you scroll through this little list? mouse scroll isnt working

[crisp coral]

poteto

[ruby sedge]

@crimson galleon its not implemented yet

[crimson galleon]

oh

i see

so you cant really ues the other options yet?

[ruby sedge]

yeah

[crimson galleon]

ah ok

[ruby sedge]

you can use breach however

[crimson galleon]

is it possible to actually breach through though?

[ruby sedge]

on certain doors

you kick them down

[crimson galleon]

ah

[smoky kindle]

Does anyone know how the shoreline spawns work? I usually spawn by the docks when my goal is to actually get to the resort. Is it PC speed or what?

[waxen forge]

Some spawn by docks, some spawn by swamp town, and some spawn by Tunnel.

How fast you spawn in depends on HDD vs SSD and RAM

[crimson galleon]

is there any use for matches or the lighter

[thin dawn]

Barter

Matches can be used to barter painkillers IIRC

[frosty plinth]

a few, but not normally worth carrying

[waxen forge]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Crickent_lighter

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Matches

[crimson galleon]

oh right trading is a thing

[waxen forge]

Wiki boys. Wiki everything

[crimson galleon]

almighty wiki

[thin dawn]

I still want to try out Interchange. But with one or two more folk.

[waxen forge]

Find something and don't know what it does or what to do with it. Wiki it

[thin dawn]

Just dont feel remotely comfortable doing Interchange solo

[waxen forge]

Get a task. Wiki task. Even people who have hundreds if not thousands of hours wiki the task to remember what to do.

[cobalt peak]

best not so expensive scope with variable zoom?

[thin dawn]

Depends on what you feel most comfy with

I personally run the HHS-1's

[smoky kindle]

Ico, I did solo interchange with some bad armour, and an MP5, I walked to the tech areas and where tools spawn and I made about 300k total just from flash drives and other stuff like Tetris. The only thing you will really encounter is scavs

[compact basin]

my go to is ELCAN SpecterDR

[smoky kindle]

I haven’t encountered Killa yet, and I hope I don’t

[thin dawn]

@smoky kindle quiet servers you chose?

[robust jackal]

Killa best boi

[neon owl]

anyone want to run customs

im new

[robust jackal]

I'm in Miami server and it's being a potato

[thin dawn]

Last time I did Interchange. Me and the squad bumped into a boss scab, then also got shot in the back by someone with a battle rifle.

Was not fun lol

[waxen forge]

#news-setup and #521628660298678283 so you can see the whole discord @neon owl

[robust jackal]

if you don't want to find killa just don't go in the middle of the mall

and you safe

[smoky kindle]

I just avoid the players because I want to get the hang of the mechanics in the game first

[thin dawn]

How do you tell?

[robust jackal]

texho/oli/idea/techlight not in the middle so just profit

[thin dawn]

Like if you come across players or not

[neon owl]

@waxen forge quiet

[subtle stratus]

I gotta spend a couple hours in offline to get familiar with the map

[smoky kindle]

I just play slow and avoid common areas

Knowing the spawns too

[waxen forge]

?

[thin dawn]

Ahhh

[old epoch]

How do I do this to the other side?

[thin dawn]

Yeah im super new to Interchange. Dont know the calls outs or where what's what

Studying the map has not yielded results yet lol

[compact basin]

@old epoch i dont think you can

[waxen forge]

You just walk around

[frosty plinth]

@thin dawn I'd just solo it, find it a lot easier

[old epoch]

lol logic

[waxen forge]

on the left side edge near the wall

[thin dawn]

Well, I'll be home in a bit. If anyone here wants to duo it at least im up for it

[robust jackal]

you can't

[waxen forge]

Yes you can.

You just walk along the left side

[robust jackal]

@thin dawn doing a few interchange runs to i can get the scav box

already have the money but i want to have money to spare before i buy it

[thin dawn]

Ahh

Im guessing a lot of loot is sold on the flea?

[subtle stratus]

I need some safety money as well because I have mad gear fear lol

[thin dawn]

Funnily enough. Once I squad up with people I trust. I just run full gear

[robust jackal]

yeah

[waxen forge]

@thin dawn Before 12 most of it was sold to Therapist but since 12 came out and so many things are needed for Hideouts a lot of the PC parts and building materials fetch a higher price on flea.

[vague wind]

When are they gonna change the factory exits so it doesn't cost 500k to leave safely?

[thin dawn]

Solo I just cant stand running full gear. Dont trust my shitty situational awareness

And I see @waxen forge

[subtle stratus]

Solo you know everybody other than you is a hostile

[thin dawn]

Yeah, with how new I am. Dunno what angles to look out for on most of the maps

[frosty plinth]

@thin dawn why not scav interchange for practice? scav runs on Inter are super profitable and you learn the map

[subtle stratus]

Team fucks up my awareness because I can't tell friendly from foe

[thin dawn]

Hmm. I could scav run yeah

[subtle stratus]

Yep. You just gotta hit the shelves

[thin dawn]

Just gotten killed very early on all the scav runs I've tried on interchange so far

[robust jackal]

i survive 85% my scav runs on interchange

[thin dawn]

Damn I need to get gud haha

[robust jackal]

especially if you spawn like 20-30 min

in the game

[thin dawn]

Why so?

[robust jackal]

most pmc's are dead at this point

[thin dawn]

Lol

[robust jackal]

and some ppl probably extracted already

[thin dawn]

That's not reassuring at all

[robust jackal]

why not?

[frosty plinth]

just loot the powerplant/outer stores

you should be fine

[robust jackal]

if ppl are dead less ppl left to kill you

@thin dawn how much time left to you get to home cuz i may just run a scav interchange meanwhile

[thin dawn]

About to get home, will take a quick shower then we can roll @robust jackal

[subtle stratus]

Could I join?;;

[umbral gulch]

I'd also like to join that run, I can't learn interchage for the life of me

[subtle stratus]

I'm usa west side

[robust jackal]

i started past saturday but doing pretty good learning maps

think i can manage 3 but 4 may be a bit way top much chaos but since we doing scav

sure hop in both u guys

i play Miami

[frosty plinth]

@umbral gulch get yourself situated with #news-setup and #521628660298678283

[subtle stratus]

Can ping negatively effect you?

Also what channel are u in

You as in u alpaca, not me

[robust jackal]

unless it's above 200 ish you should be okay

[subtle stratus]

You're east side

[umbral gulch]

Ok gimme a min il get on

[robust jackal]

i play Miami cuz i get 90-120 ping there

[subtle stratus]

What voice chat tho?

[frosty plinth]

you're not a "PMC", which means you're locked out of most of the server @umbral gulch

[umbral gulch]
