[ruby sedge]

It's like the trader is selling boxes of ammo

And that's the ad

[desert hull]

kill like, 1 in 3 scavs @faint violet

[faint violet]

yes

[ruby sedge]

But then he just found some unknown 57 ammo and was like

[faint violet]

This is good

[ruby sedge]

Yup. That's 57

[faint violet]

No one loots adars right

Please say no

[lyric storm]

Guys I'm about to yeet my ak and my best armour into one raid and die

[desert hull]

the second bullet was 4.6x30mm

[lyric storm]

Watch me

[desert hull]

but you right otherwise

[faint violet]

Skyline

do it

[gray flame]

guys how can i fully delete the game

[desert hull]

record it @lyric storm

[lyric storm]

Sure thing

[faint violet]

stream it

[desert hull]

wipe hard drive @gray flame

[lyric storm]

I don't stream

But I'll record

[ruby sedge]

Get that cheddar homie

[faint violet]

then do it anyways

@gray flame why do you want to delete this

Great?

[gray flame]

glitches

[desert hull]

@ruby sedge how aged is this cheddar?

[lyric storm]

I'm so poor that some random armour and a ak-74N are my best stuff

[faint violet]

oh

[gray flame]

because

cant open game

and crashes

[faint violet]

oh

Watch a tutorial

[desert hull]

@lyric storm you'll get stuff

[ruby sedge]

20 year cave aged chedda

At least

[lyric storm]

Sir out of the 30 matches I played on the pmc

[desert hull]

delicious

[faint violet]

This games launcher is held together by little children that are deprived of food

[lyric storm]

I only extracted once

[faint violet]

lmao

[lyric storm]

o n c e

[ruby sedge]

Better gear helps bud

[desert hull]

you doing something wrong then

[faint violet]

I’ve never extracted

So

[ruby sedge]

Slap some fools

[desert hull]

but ye better gear keeps you alive

[ruby sedge]

Teach em a lesson

[faint violet]

can confirm

[ruby sedge]

Put some respect on your name

[faint violet]

Having better gear doesn’t help me remember extracts

[strange mural]

what do you usally die by

think bout that

[lyric storm]

The only thing I do is get a pistol with no armour and go head on against some scavs

[strange mural]

[faint violet]

Braindead

[lyric storm]

Then it's either I kill a few and die or I die

[faint violet]

good idea chief

[desert hull]

@faint violet sounds like you need to have a map open

and look for ez landmarks

[faint violet]

like big red

Gotchu

[lyric storm]

Also there was once where I found my first M4, yeeted 3 scavs and got one tapped by some skrub somewhere else

[faint violet]

I’m buying a dp cable and an ssd next week

[desert hull]

whats the DP cable for

[faint violet]

so I’ll be able to have a map open

2nd monitor

lmao

[desert hull]

yeet

[lyric storm]

Bruh

[desert hull]

for now just alt tab

like a peasant

[lyric storm]

Just use ur phone

[ruby sedge]

use your phone

[faint violet]

It crashes my game

[desert hull]

or your phone ye

[faint violet]

ok

[lyric storm]

Bruh

[desert hull]

if you have the game on borderless you should be able to alt tab tho

[lyric storm]

Or you can be extra cash money and buy a laptop

[faint violet]

Mmmm

I have my school chrome book

But it’s on safe search

Holdup I can pass an image over my charger I am big brain

[lyric storm]

Extra big brain

[faint violet]

or just upload to google drive

I’m lazy tho

I’ve memorized some extracts

Like sniper checkpoint and emercom

[lyric storm]

Actually if you want to have one extra chromosome, just print the maps out

[faint violet]

I have 20 more than all of you

[lyric storm]

Like literally go to a printer

[faint violet]

So no need

[lyric storm]

And print

[faint violet]

might go ask my friend

[lyric storm]

Bruh

[faint violet]

Lmao

[torpid wraith]

Okay. Am i doing anything drastically nooby here

[lyric storm]

I'm surprised the game can run on my laptop

Bruh

[faint violet]

I’m surprised I can run

Ok I caught something nobody

[sour plume]

does armor type affect the repair durability? or the rate at which it degrades when shot? or maybe both? ive heard either side

[faint violet]

Saw

You aren’t using a fucking cobra

Change that rn

[lyric storm]

What's a cobra

[torpid wraith]

this is just preset

[faint violet]

USE A COBRA

Reeee

ok

That’s my top tip for the day

[modern steppe]

just lost like 400k wtf

dragging money into inventory from flea

[obtuse nymph]

i just like 1.5 mill

😦

[modern steppe]

didnt even die it just disappeared

rip

[ember oak]

need a teammate

[blissful lintel]

Change region is bugged?

[desert hull]

@sour plume yes

armor type affects cost to repair and how much it repairs by

[river cloak]

How do you not get the Run Through status when extracting?

[spare juniper]

anyone wanna do quick customs run, I need to go to old gas station for quest, semi geared

[waxen forge]

Run through = not enough XP

I think it's around 500 or so but let's say that's in the general area

[river cloak]

Ooh.... Thought it had to do with Time or something..

[strange mural]

thats what it sounds like but nah

[solid gulch]

if you scav in with the firefighter helmet do you usually just throw it on the ground immediately

[waxen forge]

YES

Same for Motorcycle

[solid gulch]

yeah thought so

it's the illusion of protection

[waxen forge]

Plus I like to hear

[ruby sedge]

also makes you straight up deaf

[desert hull]

my homie just dropped a full squad of level 3s

hype

1v3

welcome to tarkov

[ruby sedge]

Poor little buggers

Was rocking customs the other day, heard a bunch of footsteps in the blue buildings near customs

Lobbed a nade in and killed 2 lvl 3s and a lvl 1

I actually felt bad

[mild trellis]

is this where i can ask for help with the game? im a beginer looking for someone to learn the ropes with XD

[ruby sedge]

this would be the place, first hit up #521628660298678283 and #news-setup

to see the whole discord

[mild trellis]

awesome danka

[strange mural]

@ruby sedge remember when i came in with the motorcycle helmet and you just told me to destroy it

[vagrant mirage]

If you sell something on the flea market do you get the money instantly?

[ruby sedge]

yeah lol

take that garbage rite off

chuck it on da ground

[strange mural]

yes you do as long as it sells

i was new bmmm

[vagrant mirage]

I sold 2 Items and I didnt get the money

[strange mural]

the come to your messages

[vagrant mirage]

ah now I see

thanks

why is whiskey so expensive on the flea market?

[strange mural]

its used for barters/hideout/quests

every hideout item is basically 10k+

[ruby sedge]

just got roasted by bill murray

Smh

[strange mural]

i found a new baby btw. fal

[ruby sedge]

fal is a dope gun

im a fan

[strange mural]

that semi automatic m80

good stats

[robust jackal]

Yep

The one taps are real

And it's cheap for what it is

Also just sounds and feels amazing

[solid gulch]

i sell it every time i get it as a scav

easy 50k+

[faint violet]

Lmoa

Same

[solar onyx]

if im with a lvl 1 friend and i am lvl 40, and we walk up to an unlooted container, is there a better chance for good loot if the higher lvl player searches it first

[desert hull]

no

map has same loot

regardless

there are no instanced containers

there are instanced quest items though

[solar onyx]

so the perception stat that says "increased chance of finding better loot" doesnt mean anything?

[sage steppe]

if i get one tapped by a scav and no one is around to hear it, do i really die?

[desert hull]

no

[split vapor]

All loot is spawned before anyone gets in the raid

[desert hull]

you'll get your items back in insurance

[sage steppe]

i like this guy

[desert hull]

not yet, no @solar onyx

[solar onyx]

ok

[sage steppe]

finds case full of gpus

[desert hull]

lots of skills dont work rn

[rain oar]

Hey uh, whats a good and cheap head armor, chest and rig?

[solar onyx]

thanks for the answers @desert hull

micro-rig

or WT Rig

[desert hull]

one is strictly superior than the other

just check how many slots it offers

oh you were answering his question

@rain oar what level are you?

[rotund falcon]

I prefer wt rig @solar onyx but micro is cheaper

[solar onyx]

yeah sorry i was answering @rain oar

[rotund falcon]

Any places for better loot on interchange?

[solar onyx]

but only partially

[rotund falcon]

[desert hull]

@rotund falcon where are you already looking

Oli and tech stores generally have best loot

each major store has an office that has good computer loot

[compact basin]

TIL you can find GPUs inside PCs

[desert hull]

ye

PCs spawn all PC loot

including GPUs

[rotund falcon]

I look in oli, mainly

[desert hull]

are you checking the office next to Oli?

[rotund falcon]

To the west?

[waxen forge]

There are a ton office offices in the back Ollie halls. Multiple PC's

Loot everything from the PC's and sell it all

[desert hull]

to the west ye

[waxen forge]

Easy Money

[desert hull]

PCs can also spawn USB drives

90k ea and you need to find 3 in raid

for jaeger

skier also needs 2 but those can be bought

[rotund falcon]

Does a lot of loot spawn on oli shelves?

[desert hull]

the USB will be actually on the exterior of the PC sticking out of the USB ports at the top though

yes @rotund falcon

all hardware spawns there

[rotund falcon]

Ok bc whenever I look there’s nothing

[strange mural]

Waut you can buy ski- fuck

[desert hull]

gas analyzers, motors, tubes, hoses, batteries, etc

you're probably not looking the right places

[rotund falcon]

Nice

[waxen forge]

You will find Hideout stuff on Ollie shelves like screws, silicone hoses, gas, electric motors, stuff like that

[desert hull]

go there offline with AI turned off

and just check every little nook and cranny

it has a lot of spawns everywhere

[strange mural]

So let me get this right which wording quest items can i buy?
If it doesnt say find in raid its fine?

[desert hull]

in raid, find

otherwise can buy

[rotund falcon]

Thanks

Snutri what quest?

[waxen forge]

Honestly I ran 3 Money runs this morning. Just Ollie PC's. Filled up attack 2 with HDD, wires, CPU, shit like that. Got out and sold it all. Easy 300K each time.

[rotund falcon]

It’s the getting out part that eludes me

[waxen forge]

Don't go looking for fights. Avoid people.

You can easily avoid people on Interchange as long as you don't go to the middle.

[rotund falcon]

I just do dumbass things like kill a scav for a backpack and die to his friends

Or I ran towards a firefight instead of away

[desert hull]

ye even if you get shot at

its super easy to run and lose people

almost nobody will follow you actively if you run

remember that

[rain oar]

@desert hull Pretty much Lv 5. I just started playing after the wipe

[rotund falcon]

@strange mural what’s the quest

[orchid badger]

can anyone help me learn how to play the game

[waxen forge]

#news-setup and #521628660298678283 first

[strange mural]

Just in general

[desert hull]

@rain oar buy the micro rig from ragman

[rotund falcon]

well I bought the armor for skier from the flea market and he dgaf

Well the firefight I ran into was in oli, I was on the loading dock heard shots, assumed that it was behind the wall to my right, and ran toward the open door. Some guy popped me as I ran towards it

[rain oar]

I could run the 6B43 armour I get with the EoD

but I heard its not that great

or smt.

[waxen forge]

Did you buy Skier the WHITE 3m armor?

[torn quiver]

so, what’s the best thing to do the first time you launch EFT

go in as scav?

Level up hideout?

PMC shidz?

[rain oar]

Do some Scav ruuns to just get a feel for the game

Thats what I did

[torn quiver]

yeye

[compact basin]

I would actually go Offline PMC first. Pick a map, and start playing against AI offline.

[rain oar]

Or that, yeah

Since even if you die you wont lose your gear

[torn quiver]

ah

nice

[compact basin]

I would suggest starting with Factory, as it is the smallest, and least amount of extracts to learn.

[rain oar]

And you can get some good gear from there

[split vapor]

Uh no

Factory is how you die

[rain oar]

Well, Factory is where the gfuel snorting players are

besides Labs

[torn quiver]

Factory seems like a meatgrinder

[compact basin]

I didn't say go into online... just to get a feel for the game.

[vagrant mirage]

how long does it take until a fracture heals in base?

[split vapor]

It doesn’t

[waxen forge]

No new player should ever start with factory

[split vapor]

I’m pretty sure it won’t

[torn quiver]

I want to start at customs or interchange

Seems like cashmoney maps

[waxen forge]

You are going to die

First thing you should do when you load up EFT is RESET EXPECTATIONS.

Don't go in thinking like you do for the new COD or Battlefield or any other shooter

[torn quiver]

ofc not

[waxen forge]

This game has a very STEEP learning curve and you will get brutalized for awhile

You need to be patient. Learn maps, learn ammo types, learn scav and PMC behavior.

USE THE WIKI

Get a task look it up on the wiki.

Find an item and want to know what it is. Look it up on the wiki

[torn quiver]

i’ve gone through learning wargame red dragon

i should go through this

[split vapor]

Learning cliff

[torn quiver]

i want to

[split vapor]

Oo red dragon fun

[torn quiver]

:)))))

[split vapor]

I still never beat escalation

[torn quiver]

it did :((((

yugoslavia

Sweden

uh

Finland

[granite mulch]

this game is too much sometimes, kinda loses interest. When you have no gun and walk around with a hatchet and finally when u find a gun. Players camp extraction points etc, so can't rly keep playing. What to do with this?

[strange mural]

Scav

[waxen forge]

Honestly exfil camping isn't bad

[strange mural]

Or spend money and do a nut run

[waxen forge]

On factory it is but other maps no really

You scav in and just exfil with the loadout

[granite mulch]

cant rly do that without money

[waxen forge]

Now u have guns

Scav in and loot PC's and tech on Interchange. DON"T look for a fight. Get out and sell it all

[torn quiver]

Just keep scaving until you get gun

[waxen forge]

Run offline for 20 minutes to practice while scav cools down.

Do scav again and loot. Sell it

Maybe keep a gun or 2.

Now u have cash and weapons.

It's not hard to make $ if you do it right.

[torn quiver]

Stock up on cheap good guns

[granite mulch]

i guess i just dunno how to play

[torn quiver]

use them to get better ones

[waxen forge]

That is correct

This game takes time.

It rewards experience

You will not jump in and do well

Learn to use your scav properly depending on need

[strange mural]

I have 60 hours and dont know much

[waxen forge]

IF you need money and guns then DO NO look for a fight. Be passive. Avoid populated areas. Loot and exfil

[torn quiver]

Can scav spawn without gun?

[waxen forge]

If you have plenty of $ and gear then scav can be free pvp

No

[torn quiver]

kk

Can you go minus XP anyhow?

[granite mulch]

is the powerplant at intercharge populated? cause it seems like people are there all the time

[compact basin]

@torn quiver no, they spawn with a random loadout. it can be anywhere from a pistol, to a decent AK

[strange mural]

No yoi cant

[torn quiver]

kk

Then scav is very nice

[strange mural]

Saber it has spawns and some industry loot iirc so people do go there at times

[granite mulch]

i dunno why those loots matter tho

it's not weapons or anything in value

[waxen forge]

Scavs at power

People may check it briefly but action is inside

[strange mural]

Many industry loots are far above most guns in price

Lulw

[barren current]

also a locked room with parts box and weapons box

[strange mural]

Are there any scopes like the hamr?

[waxen forge]

Locked is Power on Shoreline

He asked about power on Interchange

[strange mural]

Can you put sights on side rails

[shell verge]

what is 105 key worth on the flea market?

@waxen forge do you know?

[waxen forge]

In raid

[shell verge]

rip got killed 200k+ loot lost

[faint violet]

😩

Sucks bro

[river cloak]

Just did a Knife run, and only ran in with a knife. Came out with atleast 400k+... Nice.

[faint violet]

Anyone want to do some customs run

In like 20 mins

[shell verge]

damn rando came at me when I was at a very quiet spot, surprised me LOL

[faint violet]

That’s why I wish shotguns did shotgun things

Just knock them on their ass with a slug

[river cloak]

Dx what map did you play on?

[shell verge]

somehow he survived sa-58 bel

[river cloak]

Should I buy a Lucky Scav Box?

[thick mist]

If you can afford it, yes

Helps a lot with hideout clutter

[river cloak]

Uh, alright.

[compact basin]

Any thing I need to know before my first Labs run? is it worth going solo and without keys?

[wind sky]

what happens when you die as a scav and pmc do you just have to wait around until your next scav spawns?

[sour estuary]

How do I do the water room quest? I have the key from a scav run but where is that room?

[compact basin]

@wind sky you can heal up your pmc off-raid

[thick mist]

Room 206 in Customs 2-story dorms

[wind sky]

coolio thanks

[waxen forge]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Operation_Aquarius_-_Part_1

WIKI boys wiki

[ruby sedge]

[sour estuary]

Oh fuck my life, I have to go inside the dorms??

[thick mist]

Yep!

[sour estuary]

Imma fuckin die lol

[vague wind]

who should i hand the document to, skier or therapist?

[thick mist]

It's spoopy

[waxen forge]

However pays better/has better rewards

[thick mist]

@sour estuary you could just cheese it and do a hatchet run since you don't need to extract for the mission iirc

[waxen forge]

Don't factor it on the reputation lost or gained

[vague wind]

yeah but it tanks my rep for either

[thick mist]

NO

Wait

[sour estuary]

Oh good idea, ty

[vague wind]

if you drop rep, do you drop trader levels?

[thick mist]

@vague wind is this for Chemical 4?

Or whatever the mission is

[vague wind]

No its the one where you have to get the document on woods

[waxen forge]

If the rep drop takes you below the point

However if you keep doing task it won't matter

Have done these tasks multiple times and have never had problems leveling and never done tasks based upon who will gain or lose reputation when it is a choice task

[thick mist]

Oh whew okay as long as one doesn't give trader unlocks you're fine with whichever

[wind sky]

hwo do you split ammo? say i have a stack of 45 but i only wanna take say 15 or 20 how would i do thath?

[vague wind]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Supply_plans

[faint violet]

@wind sky

[waxen forge]

Control while dragging

[compact basin]

@wind sky ctrl+drag

[faint violet]

Ctrl

Yep

Ok

[bold kernel]

Any tips for new players?

[vague wind]

So if i give letter to therapist i have to give 1 million roubles to skier?

[swift wadi]

why are the diary and slim diary so expensive, what are they usefull for?

[vague wind]

A barter and for the final quest(?)

and they are rare

[thick mist]

Wtf is this "Chit Chat" voice channel ugh

[wind sky]

@bold kernel im really not one to talk i litteraly just downloaded the game but if your go on youtube and search "beginners guied" theres a vid called "ultimate escape from tarkov beginers guide- eft tips and tricks" its 40 min and really in depth i suggest checking it out

[swift wadi]

the items are find in raid only arent they? so i dont think its useful for the quest

[waxen forge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkpwFfAqV8Q

[vague wind]

i found out they are not even for the quest

i have no idea why they cost so much

[waxen forge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdfcETFsQMI

[bold kernel]

@wind sky Thank you, your fucking mint 👌

and Bud

[wind sky]

XD

[desert hull]

Do people not know how the flea market works

[granite mulch]

why cant I sell on flea market, google didnt cover this question :/

[river cloak]

Is the hideout important? Or what does it do?

[waxen forge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7cFzMbgEi4

[thick mist]

Hideout isn't needed, but it gives you many useful buffs that benefit you over time

[waxen forge]

Google is your friend

[faint violet]

Bing*

[wind sky]

you dont loose your shit in offline mode right?

[thick mist]

Cake*

Nope

[wind sky]

like if you die to a scav

[granite mulch]

yeah i tried google, but they only show what to sell and what not to sell on flea. Doesn't tell you how to sell or why you can'

[faint violet]

no

[torn quiver]

Fleamarket is unlocked lv 5

[thick mist]

You don't gain anything either

[granite mulch]

can't sell

[torn quiver]

I thinj

[wind sky]

k cool thx

[compact basin]

@wind sky correct, but you dont gain anything either

[wind sky]

yea i knew that

[faint violet]

Just scav to learn maps

[granite mulch]

@torn quiver google says right click the item and "sell in flea market" doesnt show that for me.

[sour estuary]

Is there any way to decrease scav waiting time btw?

[wind sky]

do you loose ammunition or healing items that your use?

[thick mist]

@bold kernel Highly recommend Pestily or J Dog th3 Wise for beginner/budget build videos. Just do not watch the beginner guide by Tickle Me Pink. It's absolute garbage lmao.

[wind sky]

in offline mode

[thick mist]

Nope

[waxen forge]

IF you are not level 5 yet then you cannot use flea

[wind sky]

cool

[granite mulch]

i'm lvl 7, but I can't sell

[thick mist]

You just get reset back to what you came in with @shot

[waxen forge]

Right click on an item and Filter by item will show all sales of that item on flea

[bold kernel]

Ok

[wind sky]

perfect thanks

[waxen forge]

If you filter low to high and then sell your item near the low point it will sell fast.

[sour estuary]

Is there any way to decrease scav waiting time btw?

[waxen forge]

Too high and it'll never sell

[faint violet]

I don’t even have the space in my stash to do a scav run

😩

[granite mulch]

thing is, I dont have the option to sell an item

that's my main issue here, I know how to sell. I just dont have the option to sell

[faint violet]

Wdym

[waxen forge]

HOWEVER to level traders you need to increase PMC level, Increase trader reputation, and SPEND a specified amount of money with them. Selling and buying from Flea does NOT count to the trader "spent" requirement.

Then u sell to trader

Therapist>Skier>mechanic

[granite mulch]

why that order

[strange mural]

Prices

[waxen forge]

Because that is the order to make the most $

[strange mural]

[waxen forge]

Start with therapist. If she won't buy it then try skier. If he won't buy it try mechanic

Then Prapor, Ragman

Jaeger

Fence as last resort

Peacekeeper if you want US $

[granite mulch]

i dont have jaeger

[waxen forge]

You have to unlock him with a task

[faint violet]

Booo

What task

no wiki

[thick mist]

I've always wondered but assumed it did. When you buy from traders on the flea it counts toward leveling right?

[waxen forge]

Therapist buys tech, jewlery, statues, meds, shit like that. She'll never buy weapons, ammo etc

But try her first

Then skier. He buys weapon parts, attachments, clothing

Yes @thick mist

[feral gorge]

@sour estuary yes by upgrading intelligence in the hideout

[strange mural]

Let me re ask

Are there any dual sightd

Other than hmr

[waxen forge]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Introduction

[feral gorge]

Wdym dual sights

[waxen forge]

Bravp

[strange mural]

Scope that has both acog and reddot

[faint violet]

Stack two cobras

[waxen forge]

*bravo

Bravo has lower 4x with rail to mount red dot on top

[ruby sedge]

hamr, bravo are the 2 i can think of

specifically with a red dot

[waxen forge]

Then you can use NcStar for canted

[strange mural]

[ruby sedge]

the valday is a good optic as well

[cerulean estuary]

Hello, I am new to this game but i keep dying to high geared players and thats why i cant get better gear. Any advice?

[waxen forge]

You will die alot

[strange mural]

Do scav runs

[waxen forge]

It's tarkov. Steep learning curve

[strange mural]

Do offline pmc runs

[waxen forge]

Can play offline for practice but death is part of learning

[faint violet]

Or just do meme runs like me

[cerulean estuary]

offline pmc?

[vivid basalt]

how do you turn in shotguns and body armor to skier? can you only do that at the end of a raid or something? ;P

[feral gorge]

@cerulean estuary position better, be aware of their position and as a newbie try use a Vepr Hunter or a Mosin since they will take geared players down relatively fast

[solid gulch]

once i finish bad habit from mechanic, can i sell all my cigarettes

[strange mural]

You need to turn in specific armors and shotguns

[crimson granite]

is it worth to buy lucky scav junkbox thru flea market?

[thick mist]

@vivid basalt you have to go to the tasks tab in the Skier trader menu

[feral gorge]

@vivid basalt You go to Skier and into the Task tab in the top left. If you have the correct items it will say "handover"

[waxen forge]

They have to be TOZ shotgun and White 3m armor @vivid basalt

[cerulean estuary]

@feral gorge Okay thank you

if i upgrade my hideout what will be better?

[vivid basalt]

@waxen forge that explains a lot, thanks ;P

[feral gorge]

@cerulean estuary Depends on what component you upgrade

[cerulean estuary]

I dont want to heal all the time after the raid. Is there an option to make auto heal fassster?

[thick mist]

Upgrading hideout sadly

Which is $$$$$$

[feral gorge]

Medbase @cerulean estuary

[cerulean estuary]

okay thanks

[waxen forge]

Tarkov is not supposed to be easyh

Heal manually or wait for it to heal over time

[bronze prism]

@bold kernel you dont have to fight every engagement i guess is my advice

[feral gorge]

But it will still take relatively long soo don't hope to be back and running within 30 seconds. @cerulean estuary

[thick mist]

That has nothing to do with the game being "easy". :)

[bronze prism]

you can just leave

[waxen forge]

Upgrading hideout will make it faster

[cerulean estuary]

30 min would be okay for me

[bronze prism]

like red building

[jovial zealot]

lfg labs

msg me

[feral gorge]

Essentially you're required to upgrade every part of the hideout as certain components require other components leveled up already.

[zealous swallow]

This guy tinkle makes it look so easy damn

[bronze prism]

then the only answer was fight better

[thick mist]

@jovial zealot #pvp-lfg

[vague wind]

scav case in hideoutworth the 91023912801941820 million rub?

[bronze prism]

or if you think youll die and ur ak is insured

[jovial zealot]

wrong chat thanks

[thick mist]

Newbies shouldn't be running labs :p

[bronze prism]

toss it behind a table or something

[jovial zealot]

@thick mist :P

[bronze prism]

@bold kernel maybe they dont find it and you get it back

sometimes when i think im about to get owned ill toss my gun down and run

so i die somewhere away from my shit and it comes back

[cerulean estuary]

What is the best beginner map ?

[faint violet]

Customs

[bronze prism]

customs

[faint violet]

100%

[thick mist]

Customs, unfortunately

[desert hull]

nah customs blows tho

[faint violet]

or interchange if you feel frisky

[bronze prism]

and do scav runs on factory

[desert hull]

it might be the best but its bad for beginners at the same time

if your problem is finding extracts customs is good

cause its streamlned

if your problem is dying a lot customs is trash

cause it forces pvp

[barren current]

its need a lot in game best to learn first but its brutal at times

[thick mist]

Best for beginners only because that's where all the beginner quests are haha

[bronze prism]

factory is a deathmatch but you can leave with ur scav loot in like 40 seconds

[feral gorge]

Customs is the best beginner map as most quests are located there

Also @desert hull you're wrong there, I've done plenty of raids without finding a single PMC

[twilit patio]

Hey everyone, is there a way to have continuous shift for breath and sprint?

[desert hull]

nah customs forces pvp

its a tunnel

[feral gorge]

At high time for EU at that

[desert hull]

at the middle

[barren current]

best map to go and try stuff out and learn a lil with less risk is prob interchange for the loot drops currently

[feral gorge]

@desert hull Was a tunnel*

[desert hull]

still is

[feral gorge]

After the expansive it's no longer a tunnel

[bronze prism]

it does funnel hard

[feral gorge]

Nah man

[barren current]

but customs is a must

[cerulean estuary]

Any advice for making money on customs as a scav or pmc with a pistol?

[faint violet]

scav

[desert hull]

also customs spawns are like 50 feet from each other

[faint violet]

Live

[feral gorge]

@cerulean estuary Caches, hidden caches are your friend

[faint violet]

Keep the shit

[bronze prism]

yeah scav is all profi

[desert hull]

if I spawn on office side there's like a 50% chance I see a dude in the first minute

[bronze prism]

t

[waxen forge]

Do scav runs on interchange not factory if you want reliable money

Customs is not the best Money Making map

[cerulean estuary]

Is there a map for caches?

[bronze prism]

i do factory scav for gear

[barren current]

scav on reserve is nice too for farming free meds and ammo

[waxen forge]

Yea not best map for gear

[barren current]

interchange is littered with caches

[waxen forge]

Unless everyone is dead no time to loot

[bronze prism]

shoreline has a shit ton of caches too i think

[barren current]

reserve night is rather calm

[feral gorge]

@desert hull I have no clue what u are on about my experience has been way different. I only know a single choke point for the person who spawns trailer parks. Otherwise not really. Maybe you play differently too much

@cerulean estuary yes there is

Gimme a sec

[barren current]

customs funnles players via three main paths............from either side the chokes would be at......construction, dorms, and the new gas road

would not really call it a choke but you kind of have to pass one of those

[bronze prism]

my problem is dealing with the far east wall with no factory exit key

[desert hull]

@feral gorge trailer park sees train spawn

like those two are destined to fight

[feral gorge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/630490781156769835/642812785599971360/customs_stashes.jpg @cerulean estuary

This is the Customs caches

[cerulean estuary]

ah okay thank you i downloaded the map

[waxen forge]

Just go around if you can't make the shitter jump

Not really a big deal

[feral gorge]

@desert hull nah Trailer Park usually runs towards big red and soo the dude that spawned in the canal between parking and red can jump him if he's fast enough

[safe viper]

are there any groups that help people learn ?

[shell verge]

are euros or dollars worth more in this game?

[shut shard]

So I've just did a big oof and lost all my money all my gear xd and im only left with the scav's xd is there any other way

[robust jackal]

Scav or run pmc with nothing

[shut shard]

ok i guess thats a thing pmc with nothing xd gonna be hard doe

[desert hull]

look at this fat knocker of a gun

[bold kernel]

ok

[sour plume]

if you don't go right to dorms you have a decent chance of not finding any pvp on customs lol

[feral gorge]

[robust jackal]

Does crouch walking still works?

[tough swift]

what mags for ak-74m

[robust jackal]

To not make noise

[feral gorge]

@tough swift Right click the gun and press Linked Search

[tough swift]

nvm in game

[robust jackal]

@shut shard PMC with nothing at least you can do quests, don't lose anything.

But if you have 15k get a Vepr

[sturdy gull]

anyone down to help a skrub?

[robust jackal]

Also you still get XP playing PMC

So there is that

[feral gorge]

Vepr 136 master race

[robust jackal]

You can also wait till last 10 min and run around looking for dead bodies

And just loot them

Usually almost none or close to 0 PMC's around that time

Still have to watch out for Scavs

[feral gorge]

Nah

I recommend against waiting for the last 10 mins

It's tedious, boring and you still risk dying to AI or even not reaching extract in time

Or dehydrating / starving since those actually do stuff this wipe

[robust jackal]

@feral gorge not if he does scav

Sometimes you join in the last 20 min

[marsh onyx]

i tend to just go in with only an axe and jsut try to find dead bodies or somthing i can scavange early then just leave

[robust jackal]

Or 30

[cerulean estuary]

just did a customs run and the stashes gave me nice loot

[feral gorge]

@robust jackal Oh well scav is a different thing entirely.

[zealous swallow]

How do you walk silently

I see this guy Tinkle doing it

[robust jackal]

Tab

[tough swift]

do you lose your stuff if you die on offline mode

[split vapor]

no

[robust jackal]

Or mouse wheel

[zealous swallow]

Tab

[robust jackal]

No @tough swift

[zealous swallow]

Ok

[tough swift]

ok

[zealous swallow]

Offline mode is good to learn maps

[tough swift]

do you keep stuff in offline mode

if you escape

[undone hazel]

no

obviously

[tough swift]

k

i always run out of ammo mid game

[brisk wagon]

bring more ammo lol

or control your shots

[robust jackal]

Headshots are king in tarkov

[bold kernel]

usually by the time i run out of ammo i have killed someone and took their ammo and gun

[robust jackal]

No need to spray a scav 99% of the ocassions

[bold kernel]

Agree @robust jackal

Any way so i have a question

[robust jackal]

Either you are not picking your shots, using bad ammo or not bringing enough ammo.

You can bring few mags and spare ammo

And reload your mags mid-game

Shoot @bold kernel

[cerulean cape]

where can ya buy m4a1 lower?

[split vapor]

mech

[cerulean cape]

ah must just not have high enough lvl

[hoary lion]

damm i feel alot better

yesterday i was struggling with barely 30k

[bold kernel]

I am new to the game been playing for a month and i have gear fear i wanna get used to doing solos since playing with squads or more than 2 makes this game easier and not that much to learn since you rely on others if you are a noob in a group my question is i wanna get used to playing solo but not sure where to start and what's making it harder is me having gear fear

[hoary lion]

after understanding interchange i easily made over 400k today

@bold kernel if you have gear fear

just sell that gear.

[barren current]

if u dont use it u loose it lol

[hoary lion]

disassemble and sell.

[bold kernel]

I don't think selling it is a good idea

[robust jackal]

@bold kernel sell it

[hoary lion]

if you find a M4A1 for example you dont know how to use it
so just sell it.. eventually you could afford it

[brisk wagon]

interchange is so gewd

[mossy kite]

no

[hoary lion]

keeping it in the inverntory would just keep up space

and eventually the game wipes

and you neve rused it

[brisk wagon]

u can literally find every task item for tasks in interchange

[hoary lion]

dude

[robust jackal]

Same got an M4 recently but don't have gear enough to go alongside it

[hoary lion]

interchange is op

[brisk wagon]

^^^

[hoary lion]

me too

[barren current]

well sitting on items is worse loot i can understand but gear takes up space

[hoary lion]

i killed a dude with m4

[robust jackal]

So i just kept the mods and i did sell the gun

[hoary lion]

and sold it

cuz i dont have a damm idea how to use it

nor good armor to pair with it

[crimson granite]

The pocket watch quest bugged on me....i found the watch, but when i open my inventory it wasnt there

[hoary lion]

so why run with it in a raid and die easily while i can profit 100k from it?

[barren current]

reserve has some op marked rooms

2

[hoary lion]

@crimson granite you just gotta extract

[brisk wagon]

@crimson granite its in your task inventory

[hoary lion]

its not suppose to be in your inventory

[robust jackal]

Also if you want a M4 grab an Adar slap a mod or two on it and use m995 ammo

And GG

[brisk wagon]

theres separate inventories for your task items and actual in game items

[crimson granite]

so why i cant finisht he quest?

[robust jackal]

You have a powerful M4

[faint violet]

Love it when I get rushed by 2 guys with m4

[brisk wagon]

turn it in

[faint violet]

And I have a mosin

[hoary lion]

yea adar=m4

sort off

[robust jackal]

@crimson granite you need to extract

[crimson granite]

aaaa ok

[robust jackal]

If you die have to get it again

[crimson granite]

i died so thats why i couldnt finish

[brisk wagon]

if u got out, and went back into another raid and died, then you lost it

[shut shard]

So I just made a really cool adar that costed me alot of money what shall I do sell it for alot more or just die with it xd ?

[robust jackal]

Press tab and go to tasks

That's your task inventory

[faint violet]

Adar is sexy

[robust jackal]

Just to the right of your objectives

[hoary lion]

ADAR IS GOOD MAN

I LVOE IT

[shut shard]

Can I post a pic ?

[faint violet]

Just hope that I get mine back from insurance

[hoary lion]

I encourage you to post a pic

[bronze prism]

i lost an m1a just now

[hoary lion]

as long as its not a dic pic

[bronze prism]

hoping i get it back

not too expensive if i dont tho

[robust jackal]

It's an Adar just use it or sell it stock

[hoary lion]

easy scav drop

[faint violet]

Do people loot adars?

[robust jackal]

Usually i sell them to mechanic

[bronze prism]

i do

[faint violet]

Why

[bronze prism]

i loot adars for low risk runs

[robust jackal]

Depends begginers do

[shut shard]

Am I allowed to post pics xd?

[waxen forge]

I loot everything that will sell

[hoary lion]

yes @shut shard

[waxen forge]

IF i find something better than it then I'll dump it

[robust jackal]

If it's fully modded a player may get the gun or just some mods

Same^^ @waxen forge

[robust jackal]

Also learn the incentory tetris

[hoary lion]

sexy adar

[robust jackal]

Putting backpacks inside backpacks

Rigs

Take the stocks and mags and maybe even grips of weapons off

[faint violet]

Should I actually kit out an Adar

[shut shard]

Wasted 250k on it now I don't have money xd

[robust jackal]

So you can fit more stuff

[hoary lion]

yo guys what attachments can i get from lvl 1 skier/prapor to decrease vepr recoil? besides the stock/handguard and pistol grip i already have

[robust jackal]

Big brain

[faint violet]

single fire

Big brain

[brisk wagon]

nothing

[hoary lion]

that nothing is for me?

[brisk wagon]

thats worth buying from level 1 traders

[shut shard]

I just love the weapon customization couldn't resist wasting all my muneeh

[brisk wagon]

just go on the flea

if you really want to buy the overpriced parts

[robust jackal]

Vepr doesn't have recoil problem being a single fire weapon

[brisk wagon]

^^^^

[hoary lion]

well thats also true

i am talking silly shit

ima just run into factory

with me vepr

[robust jackal]

You could mod it for ergo

Makes more sense

[hoary lion]

legit 80% better than the 5.45 ones i used

[robust jackal]

The FAL i just mod for recoil

[waxen forge]

Often the best practice is to run what you have and can buy from traders. Spend too much time and $ worrying about "the best" when still learning.

[robust jackal]

Cuz holy moly that kicks

[brisk wagon]

i like the vepr, it was nice and i always used it

[hoary lion]

ok guys i have another silly question
This is like 1/4 of my inverntory.
I know most of those are quest items, should i sell though or keep? I am like quite far from the scav box yet though

[brisk wagon]

then they introduced the ADAR and i switched to that

[spring arrow]

someone teach me how to tarkov

[brisk wagon]

hows your hideout?

[hoary lion]

bad

barely touched it

[brisk wagon]

wires drill and bolts are mostly for your hideout

you can barter the knives

[hoary lion]

yea i know

i was thinking of the MP5
or the quest

[brisk wagon]

respirators you need 5 for them for a skier task

[hoary lion]

yea

those are easy drop though

[brisk wagon]

yeah so i would just sell them

[hoary lion]

i mean for now i'll wait till i have no space

cuz the top of my stash is empty

i sell most guns i bring back unless its something i know how to use/i like

[brisk wagon]

sounds good

[hoary lion]

i mean since i started kitting vepr for like 20k

[wind sky]

just killed 7 scavs and a player on my first raid. went mia cuz i couldent find extraction

[hoary lion]

i more than doubled my stash value

[brisk wagon]

hells yeah

[hoary lion]

much easier to use than aks74u
or any other 5.45x39 gun that barely pens armor

[wind sky]

any other begingers looking to squad up?

[spring arrow]

i am i just got this game if you wanna help me not be garbo at it would be appreciated

[hoary lion]

my tip for new comers

play lots of scavs.

learn the maps

[faint violet]

Naked guy with a hatchet are a slug to the skull

[hoary lion]

then go have fun in factory XD

[faint violet]

Never using a shotgun again

[hoary lion]

shotgun is good on factory

but thats about it

[faint violet]

He had no helmet

And ate a slug

[hoary lion]

aaaaaand i died to a scav aimbot xd

guess what

it was from a shotgun slug

and you know what else

ON INTERChNAGE.

[waxen forge]

Wait til you start ALL the shotgun tasks then Sack

[hoary lion]

GUNSMITH 1

[patent granite]

i extracted on a customs quest and never got mission complete on task? i did another mission to and that completed fine.. (unknown key one failed for whatever reason)

[pine mountain]

Why does East Wing Room 216 key cost 200k+ but wiki says it's an always open room

[faint violet]

anyone wanna do some customs pmc run

[shut mirage]

Hey @faint violet

[waxen forge]

Because people are stupid @pine mountain I sold a key to an always open room for 120K the other day

[shut mirage]

i would like to play but im new

[waxen forge]

Wouldn't have sold it but checked Flea and it was going for 150K..So I priced it a bit low and hoped for a sucker

Beware of scams .

[hoary lion]

why the fuck mosin is so op :(

what armor doesnt it pierece

[strange mural]

with snb it goes through everything

[faint violet]

@shut mirage

[hoary lion]

yikes

[faint violet]

call me

[hoary lion]

getting 1 shttoed from 0 range

[shut mirage]

ok

[strange mural]

yeh best plan against mosen is to rush the user

if its a newb they wont have a sidearm

[shut mirage]

im calling you @faint violet

[hoary lion]

i mean, just got picked and snapped dead

thats when i know its enough tarkov for 1 day

yieks i had so much loot on me i was loaded

[strange mural]

[hoary lion]

so close to the extract too

[waxen forge]

If it's a vet they won't have a sidearm either most likely

[strange mural]

yeah.

sidearm is pretty big broin cheapo for a sniper

bud you dont happen to be in flea

[waxen forge]

Nope scav on Reserve

Tarkov life coach

[faint violet]

hmmm

sounds like propaganda but ok

[sour estuary]

propaganda wat?

[solemn rampart]

@waxen forge thats hobestly the best explanation ive seen for a sherpa XD

[faint violet]

that sherpa shit is alot of work

ill tough through it

[versed finch]

tfw you die with 2 graphics cards on you

[desert hull]

why didnt you prison wallet them

[versed finch]

scav

[noble flower]

Hi again! I bought a mosin infantry from flea market. And when I aim with it it feels like the weapon is crooked. Is it a bug? oO

[versed finch]

prison wallet

[desert hull]

tis the downside of scavving

[patent granite]

how likely are players on a night raid factory?

[versed finch]

hahahahahahah

[waxen forge]

Does it have rear sight on it?

[desert hull]

you are missing iron sights @noble flower

[waxen forge]

From flea never know what you are going to get

[desert hull]

always check the gun if you're buying from flea

dont know if they're ripping you off and giving you a sightless gun or one without a magazine

[waxen forge]

You can buy a Mosin From PRAPOR at level 1

[noble flower]

I bought iron sights, both front and rear, but I couldnt put on the rear one. it was incompatible. eventhough i found it through linked search

[desert hull]

which is important if your gun is like the mosin and uses a built in mag

[tiny bolt]

how can you tell?

[desert hull]

it goes on the barrel @noble flower

i'm 90% sure

[waxen forge]

Why buy from flea then?

[desert hull]

you can double click or inspect guns to see what parts they have attached and what is missing @tiny bolt

[versed finch]

because the flea sells things the traders dont

[noble flower]

because it was half the price of prapor :p

[desert hull]

and ye flea is cheaper than traders for guns

[versed finch]

or at differrent price ye

[desert hull]

you just have to inspect the gun before buying

[waxen forge]

Prapor sells it levle 1

[noble flower]

yes

[desert hull]

for a lot more than flea

yes

[noble flower]

but not at 10,000 roubles

[desert hull]

at 10k you were destined to get ripped off lol

[waxen forge]

Now we wonder why it was so cheap

[desert hull]

usually you buy mosins from flea at like 25k

[waxen forge]

Broken maybe

[noble flower]

yeah I guess :p

mosin sniper 25k infantry is cheaper no?

on flea that is

[desert hull]

no

infantry is 25k or so

sniper is 35k

[noble flower]

oh

[desert hull]

mosins are in high demand

[waxen forge]

33K from Prapor

[desert hull]

which one

[noble flower]

I always sell all my mosins I pick up at 25 regardless it feels like

[waxen forge]

But by spending with him you are working on your "Spent" amount to level traders

[noble flower]

cause price is around that when I sell

Im max lvl prapor so no problem :p

[waxen forge]

Should be selling basic stuff to traders

[faint violet]

so are shotguns useless

or

[cerulean cape]

moe carbine or magpul ctr stock?

[strange mural]

https://i.imgur.com/kSKMR9D.png "health full cant heal"

tis a bug?

[faint violet]

Can you get one shot to the thorax

[undone hazel]

yup

[faint violet]

By anything

good to know

[strange mural]

not by

for example single shotgun pellet

and some bullets may not be able to deal enough damage

but generally yes

you dead

what map do you guys recommend for the SVD kills?

[robust jackal]

[strange mural]

[desert hull]

[robust jackal]

Someone

Somewhere

[desert hull]

I was far away with a suppressed M4

[strange mural]

turbo can you check for me

[desert hull]

and I put 3 bullets into him and he whipped sideways and headhsot me

[strange mural]

how muchb m61 is rn

[robust jackal]

If it's a hacker battleye shall eat his ass in less than 24hours

[desert hull]

he found me and my friend way too fast

like I barely saw him to begin with

I was shooting through like 3 bushes

and he found me instantly

[strange mural]

well i just got naded

i think a pmc threw a nade at a scav

and i happened to be

right by them
