guys i need some help, i have 5 knives i was told i can trade to mp5 but where can i do that
How can i safely extract because everytime before I even make it to extraction zone i die?
defend yourself
how do u tell a player vs a scav?
@vast matrix One of the traders, can't remember who, may have that trade option
Not sure if it changes though



@little lintel clothing
they speak russian
movement
they move like bots and ia
sometimes just stand still
looking around
they don't sprint nor jump
They sometimes sprint if aggro'd
they sprint to cover
also ai doesnt have more than one gun
@whole schooner kill on sight
if you pmc
learning experience
kill everything
@vast matrix peacekeeper accepts knives for a p226 or mp5
@whole schooner pscavs dont care
always kos
I'm a little late, but yeah, I've not had anyone walk away from a HS if i've landed it with the VSS (helmets excluded) out to about 370m.
if they can do it without alerting others, they will
So the AK-105 is definitely not for sniping
I mean AK-105 is just as good as any other AK
adn they're all fairly accurate weapons
just use single fire
hurray ive surived a map and extracted
Nice one
knife run stabbed someones face
Yeah it's just a short barrel but I was fucking around with it and a pso on it because it was the gun I could fit my suppressor on
@azure arrow keep stabbing, you need level 3 strength to upgrade your vents
xd
If I equip the hatchet from the EoD and die does it respawn with me like the knife does
so what happens if the map ends without you extracting?
is insurance worth it?
why does my gun sometimes randomly stop shooting when prone?
so do oyu keep the loot then the time runs out?
no
running out of time gets you a MIA status which means everything is lost
even insured items are lost
Yep i died
Can't recconect
GG
How to lose 200k
First time i'm salty i don't care when i die but i hate when things are out of my control
And i can't even report the crash
In any of those 3 crashes
Yeah Alpaca I get them too
I get an bug
My Customs quest reset after I killed scavs and lost my gear too
Crashing 3 times in 10 min?
btw i love people who go streight to the spawns
I crashed 2 times in an hour
Crashed twice just in my inventory
and why i never hear their footsteps but they hear mine
Playing tetris
Quests dont just reset if you dc from a raid
even if you look at tasks in raid it may 0/5 even though you completed it
It bugs insurance
shows it isnt but it is
I killed 5 scavs, it said 0/5 and I couldn't hand it in
Now I gotta give him shotguns again on top of it
just picked up an sa-58 use it or sell it?
Where is the old gas station extraction on Customs? I'm at the location but cant find it
Ah got it, ty
are fmj rounds any good?
are headsets bugged or something
i cant to like take them off and put them on every single raid to get it to actually change my audio
there isnt a bug with helmets or armor is there
hmm..
Hey guys, i just finished a quest, and went to chat to receive the rewards, but the only thing there was the money, i didn't get the gun, and it looks like i didn't get the XP as well, is this a bug? is there a workaround?

sw why are you like this
cats are good eating
I just had a lab run and legit 0 fucking loot in or around the dome!?

Okay god blessed me after bs crashes
@bold ruin reserve you mean?
what abt reserve?
@steady pilot No, talking about labs
Looting for ledx?
Well, just looking for some profit
@steady pilot he is talking abt the weather radar......but i dont think he mentioned ledx....there is a svd spawn on the roof top table and there is a open building with a safe and weapon cabnit and pc....
But instead found a whole lot of nothing 
That feeling when you spawn in factory geared, peek out of spawn and get face tapped by a guy with a makarov in a single shot. -_-
best no key look on reserve i believe would be in the queen building
No hes talking about the toxic waste dome on labs
lol @jovial pulsar
ahhhhhhh
@jovial pulsar I tapped a guy today with a TT 
got u yeah saw his second post saying yes to labs
I've never had this bad of a ''labs'' run though.. Legit couldn't find anything
so my scav is a legit hatchling....knife only lol
@bold ruin If you're late that's usually first place looted
The shot was fucking perfect man
No LEDX, vertex etc.
@frosty plinth restart your game
Nah i wasn't late people were arriving after me there was like no loot haha
Lean out from behind one of the curtain walls, he spots me for less than a second, piff, dead.
it might be a bug
Just unlucky then
I mean it was a free lab card from scav π
Labs trash map anyway especially while reserve exists
It's not free if you can sell for 200k
I've made profit everytime from doing a run
Usually how it goes, its lab
π
i just make millions on reserve currently seems the most high end loot to me
Electric, teach me
i have almost all the reserve keys and hit the marked rooms
Got 0 keys 
the underground bunker keys are great for meds and hideout items but their all behind a key
i also run mostly night time to avoid the majority of snipers
it is a marked room.....25 use key if not mistaken
the room is in the dorm on reserve pawn west
its well worth running.......docs cases, keybars, weapons cases, money cases, weapons......
i tried the hamr after seeing it on a vid

good run is completely based on you
my last run i pulled a key bar, docs case, and ammo case....so abt 1m ish
hamr is great. bravo 4 is great as well. has more fov
still need to try bravo
its nice
allows for a more personalized selection for the upper based on what you like
welp...hatchling scav run didn't go...great lol
all depends on finding a weapon asap
sometimes you need to be kitted with at least a ranged weapon
yeah, 10k for a pm is worth it over a hatchet imo
haha nono, my scav was a legit hatchling
not a single item to his name
wasn't my choice :p
oh . . .
huh had a hatchet on my backpack for a while cuz forgot to sell it its worth 40k
not bad
Lol we were 4man thermal raiding on reserve and dropped a guy who looted marked, had a weapons case
He sent hatemail.
classic
wait, was it the party you went in with?
if anything, you should like roll a die or keep track of who gets the major stuff
Hey guys how do i breach doors?
Trying to get some docuemnts on customs for the quest that takes me to factory after
..>?
YOU CANT BREACH THAT DOOR, YOU NEED CUSTONS OFFICE KEY
maybe you need a key?
oh..
sry caps
put it in your secured container so you dont lose it
maybe pitch it after you're done, depending on how much it's worth/need for space
Guys remember this
Milk is good at retaining heat
been trying to cool down this cup o milk and it hasnβt
customs office key is worth keeping imo, the loot there isn't that bad
and theres a later mission there
and you can help people with the quest later
also, use wiki for quests. it tells you everything including what keys you need
is it common for randoms to invite you and shoot you in the head after you're near extract?
does anyone one wanna duo up I got the game today kind of need help understanding it
how do you accese the voice channels
@dull coral ill run some with you... i should be on a little later
@dusk parcel in about how long? i dont really have a lot of time
@dusk parcel same case w me and i shoot at someone but they always got a teammate
just got the game
i'll run with both of ya. im on right now now but about to get off to eat dinner. should be on all night after that
ight
im getting off in like 1 hour so
If you are solo u always gotta think like person u shot is never alone
well, addme, im on pretty much every night
@dusk parcel can i join as well? got game 2 days ago
ok
sure
nice im going for dinner soon too but should be on right after
i added u on discord @dusk parcel
π
Anyone want to do some raids with me
I'm on a quest where i need to plant the false flash drive in customs dorms without killing any scavs. Anybody want to assist? I have a bunch of keys. Will let you keep whatever is found, just want to finish the quest
SOUNDS LIEK SOME BULLSHIT IF YOU ASK ME
wut
Yoo what is good? Looking for a teacher π
why would i do that
me to
ok
@steady pilot Yo
ill get on in a sec
If he fucks you over you can report him on this discord
lmao
did you drop a tac nuke on them
got 25 kills previous rond
tev ill dm you my username
we can hit these doors. you can have all the loot
ez
who wants to play? im new, looking for some guidance
yeah so thats 6 PMC only kills on shoreline right @faint violet
my duo partner got 2 kills on PMCs as well
so 8 combined PMC kills in one raid
nice
thats going in the history books
could of been better 
the worst part is
one of them blacked my stomach with an M700
then put my thorax on 1 health with the next shot
but I headshotted him before he tried for a third time

dropped my Hk416 after I saw how many guns there were
so both of those are new guns
then the gen4 + helmet and allt ags
12 minute raid 10k xp
nice
so yeah the train yard
anyone down to help me through an interchange run?
I saw some ppl run into him in one of the 3-4 story buildings
im minimally geared?poor
before, legit 5 mins into the raid
didnt know he could spawn pre-siren
2 super good raids
yours and mine
mine was more heart pounding than loot filled though
would either of you guys be up for a run?
ok
you only don't get insured items if somebody extracts with your gear
and AI scavs do not loot
so the gear can be moved as far away from your body as it can
as long as somebody doesn't grab it and leave the map via extraction you will get it back
you can also ditch gear to use this feature
I swear to god I saw an ai scav loot a body
like I did last raid
killed 8 PMCs
way too much loot
threw my HK416 into a bush then grabbed their guns
I'll get their guns + my HK416 back in a day
you saw a player scav loot a body
Also I havenβt gotten a svd back from 3 days ago, insured, i died to scav nothing
True

now stroke my ego more
pls
one raid lol
and thats missing a tag
I couldnt get
Can you wallbang in this game?
heavily, yes
most things are penetrable
in fact it's a shorter list of things that arent
Heavily depends on your ammo
but ye
ammo matters
high pen ammo will go through shit easy
lower quality ammo will go through some thin surfaces
like plaster or wood
can I post ammo dmg chart here?
Official ammo table for Escape from Tarkov :
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ammunition
yea the one I posted I saw chappie using
They do lose dmg and pen if they hit you behind something right?
Was doing customs bp drpot quest
Went with just supressed glock
Came out with two ak74m
Found both on crates
looking to do some custom/woods runs with a sherpa if possible lolz
7.62 PS is pretty decent imo
I don't have nodds @robust jackal
Scavs can't do shit
ah
yea I need 15 scav kills on woods
Like scavs walk like 10m in front of you
And don't see you
Unless they have a flashlight
But you can see them so easy the few that do.
3?
3-5
2-3
at night
do you engage all of them?
or do you just mean you see them and acknowledge
Nope
how many fights do you get into with PMCs on average
I engage if they go lumberyard or are a threat
Sometimes none
When i get fight usually one
are they super geared?
Maybe 2 if he has a friend
or are they low gear
Nope
I killed a guy than didn't had one
Shoot him from 150m
With a mosin in the head
He didn't had nvg
Try it
A cheap nvg setup is like 60k?
yeah I use NVG
I've done plenty of night raids on other maps even
but Woods, shoreline, etc are rough sounding
Didn't find any thicc boi
I figured most ppl would be using NVG
lvl4 aint shit
Yep
at least now
I shot through gen4 last raid with 995
did you see my last raid btw? @robust jackal
Si senor
Its safe at night so pretty nice
for woods specifically?
If he doesn't spawn you can just either extract and try again or go for the many crates around the map.
Yeap
im actually really comfortable at night
I jsut dont want to run into a NVG dude while im a NVG dude
what map alpaca?
and how do i get pmc on the server?
haven't seen much ppl
cause then its just day woods with blind scavs
So far 30% maybe but didn't see almost anyone so that number is far from accurate
Miami
the thicc miami servers or the dead-er ones
Miami 1
cant remember if thats thicc miami or dead-er miami
one is extremely pop one is mediocre pop
so i need to farm 15 scavs on woods for this quest. What loadout do you recommend for nighttime raid
It's dead around midnight
But it's avg overall
Usually you get the least amount pmc
Or the middle
Ground
Rarely full pmc numbers
looted off a dude
Like 10%
any dead severs in eu?
half of them from what I hear lol
ppl say warsaw
dont play eu myself to fact check
@desert hull got an m4 yesterday guy such shit ammo no wonder he died to scavs
I've tried moscov-3 that's 50/50
much better
ehh its ok
ps is like mk255
1 is not even armor
shits CRAZY expensive to run though
It's a thick glove
even 3m module is 2
you know whats funny
me and my mate did 3 shoreline runs purely to do punisher pt2
for him I mean
he has gotten 0 scav kills
lmao
literally just can't stop running straight into PMCs
Haven't run into many thicc bois at all
we've gotten.... 10-12 PMC kills in those 3 runs?
a lot of thicc kids
way too much loot to carry
Factory so far only cheap of the cheapest loadouts
left a lot behind
If i see a Untar helmet and armor that's za besto
what you saw in that screen is what I could grab myself
on fact?
To men
cause its smol map
Yep
and they can learn it
everyone does the same
you either do customs cause tasks
or you do fact cause ez map to learn
to learn anyway, not survive
I'm surprised how i have a 42% survival rate as pmc and only started saturday
you're that new?
what map do you guys recommend for beginners who wanna grind loot/money w/ minimal PMC engagement?
good sign for sure
@manic violet minimal PMCs with high loot?
sounds like interchange if you're smart
Well i come from Arma 3 and Dayz @desert hull
yeah cause customs aint it
Even some squad
no customs aint it
customs forces pvp
has chokepoints
interchange is massive and has a massive amount of loot
Best way to train endurance?
any way to cheat it?
forever
hmm
endurance is something that trains fast though
endless circles
My next scav run has a vss with an ACOG mounted dear god
i do it with nades
f
And that's after a run with a vss
ye nades is probably the least-cheese way to train
next least cheese is to get fat
go overweight and just jog around
but that takes a while
lot longer than just throwing flashbangs
are there any good text guides for weapon building/modding explanation of stats etc.?
@desert hull and other survival games overall , used to dying and losing everything at this point so no gear fear.
@halcyon pebble mmm not sure if that sort of thing exists persay but I can answer any questions here quickly
is there a good way to cheese strength as we can't stack 2x2s anymore?
and Kirylow in #weapon-modding is good at answering questions
@halcyon pebble there are vids on explanation of ergo and recoil control
Alright video should do it. I haven't really built my own weapons yet, aside from video tutorials for mechanic tasks and just putting some scopes on, so I don't really know what to ask
If you want to join the action live, I stream almost every day on Twitch! Come hang out and share the love! http://www.twitch.tv/veritas Thanks for watching!...
ty
ergo
Isn't the video out of date?
It explains the concepts
Since changes to how ergo works have been made afaik
do skills actually change gameplay?
unless something has changed regarding how ergo effects
lots do, some don't @twin wedge
okay
I'm good with understanding the concepts at first.
Its mostly jumping over obstacles and stamina depletion
@desert hull Literally said because they made changes to how ergo works lol
ok but you were typing that as I was typing mine
sell Gas Analyzer to traders or auction it?
I found it as a SCAV. I'm only lvl 3, so the quest may be a ways off still
flea market
I'm running out of inventory space!
keep the GA
you need 1 found in raid
boys
what is the best item to sell in bulk on flea
i have found that labs cards arent v profitable
bulk ?
@split vapor SCAV doesn't count as a raid though, right?
or anything ig
it count @neat spruce
But it does
lab key card, sell it or go in there myself?
Anyone wanna help me do my first interchange runs? or some custom tasks?
sell rn
I'm going to sell mine as soon as I can @versed finch
Any item found in the raid scav or pmc will have the little found in raid checkmark on it
@neat spruce 3 cpus also required for find in raid
how do you know when something of yours has sold?
does it alert you or just money appearing
You get a message
ragman says item sold
oh ok ty
Then you need to claim it through the messenger like insurance
@modern steppe stop trying to merch the market homie
ty for the help ive only been playing for a day but this game is addictive af
only for the wealthy 
its called presets
wat is that
is there some where i can go to learn all things tarkov
wat it do
nah
lmaoo same
lets you see mods
you can only just check youtube after youtube
what it owuld look like
need help running woods
i dont own most of those grips
but it shows you what can go there
and when you got your gun the way you want it to look, you save the preset, and you can buy the parts to finish the gun
when i press right click in one attachment it says install, what is it?
it will buy from traders/market
rip i'm poor now
y
bought the thicc
F
the gear fear is kicking in 

just found out thats an actual case
I have no fear
not a meme
I have Adar and vepr
ew adar
Suck my dick
worst accuracy
Itβs good
i ngame
100m its already an rng to hit head
when i press right click in one attachment it says install, what is it?
lul
Itβs good enough
@tawdry flicker install it on a gun.
^
Sks also trash
^
gun is good π
Iβm taking guns I have fun with
I didn't know dying was fun 
like a normal person
guys it for fun xd
Wait I have an Adar sleeper build I saw Korgi make
you dont have to be like dat
where you mmake it look like the adar
dem i throw them away alots
Sleeper Adar build
lmaoo
sleeper dont have wood
.....
wooden adar
You're braindead
feelbadman
Most begginers don't really shoot ppl above 100m so the Adar is fine
Especially if they play customs
But Vepr Km is my to go weapon RN
Can even kick some ass in Factory
Adar in woods though...
i will say 100m lower is fine, anything above that with adar is a gamble
i always find my self in 100-200m situations so you'll never catch that in my cold dead hands
Above 15m with Shrimp or Grach is a gamble lulz

help
k
I've never played can I get someone to help me learn stuff?
@naive plaza well once you accept the #521628660298678283 you can request a sherpa at #sherpa-info and players at #pvp-lfg
ok thank you
so i pretty much lost all my weapons on my PMC. should i just focus on doing scav runs and building up a pile of shit to sell?
i went into unknown room and got the documents and extracted and it didnt count for the quest :/
anyone interested in helping me get unknown room, golden pocketwatch(dorms), and water(dorms)? i have keys, im on usa server
Best 5.7 round?
@rustic fable yes scav as much as possible and look into more budget builds.
also rquest a sherpa #sherpa-info
@acoustic timber there are 2
best subsonic has best penetration but is slow
cause subsonic
best sonic is fast af but less pen
still decent pen tho
different uses
neither is strictly better
@acoustic timber SB193 for 35 pen but it's subsonic, or L191 for 32pen but it's supersonic
subsonic features are not implemnted yet
Yee that doesn't make a difference in Tarkov
ye I get told that it is and isnt implemented all the time
I trust delta and lukablyatman more than randos tho
They have to rework the sound systems for lots of suppressed weapons and sub/super sonic ammo'
it literally makes no difference besides having a round with 5x the drop
Only ACTUALLY silent gun is VSS and Val
m700 suppressed is dead silent
contrast to m700 not suppressed which sounds like ship mounted artillery
it actually sounds like you're calling in an arty strike
@acoustic timber SB193 has slight accuracy debuff too, but depends how far u intend to shoot? Distances like on Factory? SB193. Anything longer than that L191
Hey I'm only lvl 1 trader overall and I'm looking for a viable assault rifle/smg to do factory runs and maybe work on bigger maps
when unsuppressed
Personally id take L191
factory runs aint it chief @supple nest
thats a noob trap
but if you insist, just use what you have until level 5
then you unlock flea market in the trading screen
then buy Vepr KMs
I'm mostly looking to do pve practice right now
16k for a semi auto AKM
@supple nest What level character are you?
Lvl 6 I have access to the flea market
Alright I'll look into that
@supple nest
@steady pilot ur slow
Armor wise is it preferrable to get from flea market or wait to unlock higher lvl ragman ?
oof lmao
Thanks for the info for the guns btw π
lol both of you
buy from flea, the best armors you can get is AVS and TACTEC
for 65k
armored rigs
you dont have to invest in ARMOR AND RIG
Tactec being class 5 has saved my ass numerous times
Alright that's nice
my stash is full from scav runs should i sell all of it or take it into raids. its mostly backpacks and adars or ak74s
Howdy, brand new to the game. Tried 2 scav runs, but couldn't find an extraction. Lol. Had a map open in my second monitor, etc
and i have an mpx should i sell that too bec i dont think i want to risk taking it into a raid
da scavs kinda be looking fresh tho
go to the wiki and use the maps there
Same maps I was using except for the ones I was using are in 3d, etc
secondly, use offline mode to explore
ok but are there any australian playa do?
The Wiki maps never load. Lol. API errors all day.
kinda want to play with da stralian people that are newish
Hence why I used gamemaps
i did a raid last night and got a tetris but now its gone
any ideas what happened to it?
logged off right after
scav
you may have just forgotten to put it in your stash
lol
gg poggers
guys what mods should I put on my sks?
@feral gorge what sight do u use on the vepr u recommended me ?
if not OP-SKS you can't put anything on
oh kk
@supple nest hmm I mean it's personal preference you can use whatever you like
does any one know how to put a high powered scope on a mosin
@lofty plank ye
is it the sniper version or infantry version
@lofty plank put a kochetov mount first, then link search the kochetov, look for a patriot something mount, buy that. Then put scope mounts and the scope and ur set
tri rail for better scope options on mosin
ty
Pu is a cheap x3 that works for most things though
sv98 is cheaper modded over a modded mosin
is .50bmg 12 gauge good?
spawned factory as a scav and had a keycard
well
i'm out
HAHA
30 sec raid the fastest of my life
f
and a fuel conditioner
350K
i spawned
with 350k XD
well that's one way to get to the 3 million mark
well there it goes the rest of my luck

I like it like that tho
is there a place on this discord where people can do group raids, ive been playing for a week now and am okay but dont have any friends on here
where do you ask for a group
need to finish #news-setup and #521628660298678283 first i beleive
for the lfg thing to appear
can you lose the kiba tactical axe from EOD edition?
or do you just go back to hideout with it if you die?
Okay so I seem to have gotten pretty lucky and come into something called a KIBA key. I see that they cost a metric shitton, and I would rather use my key to make money (desperately in need of lol) than sell it. How do I go about using it?
well you need both keys to open the inner and outer gate
which one do you have
and yes kiba is in the middle part of the mall where all players camp
can you explain a bit? Ive only played customs so far lol
I have outlet
nice
it would take you 5-7 runs to make up for the price of that key
better off selling it
if you run interchange a lot it's really worth keeping
and expect to die in half or more of your attempts
^
either to players
reap-irs, rsass, modded out aks and m4s spawn
or Killa
i mean
hence why i said 5-7 runes
so dont both with the key
buy it later when you are good and know the map
use the money for other things atm
yep
or keep it and learn lol
any cash early on helps so much
its not efficient for you tto have it right now
specially for budget kits
naked runs with a bag and a keestered key wouldnt be good?
you can learn the map without the key first
1 million in the first few hours is HUGE
yeah good look going through interchange without having to shoot at least one scav
fair haha
there are scavs and a scv boss protecting kiba hallyway
you wont make it without a gun and some decent armor
if you rush it
im guessing there is really good stuff in there?
im hesistant to sell it and blow the money because i suck rn and just lose shit a bunch
the rest of the mall has more effiecient loot items that dont need a key
makes sense
kiba is fuckin risky
seriously
if yo ugot a squad
then do it
otherwise dont solo
it is not as good as it used to be....if you want to do gun runs reserve has some cheaper keys with lots of gun spawns but their mostly ak variants
its not effecient, selling the key now will get you farther.
alright
Are people here against cheesing pmc kills for task The punisher 4?
so I should list it in flea market?
yeah, getting on dead server, queueing together and killing each other.
It's just that I hate shoreline as a map.
π€‘
the 100m headshots can be a trip but its not impossible will prob take some time...knowing the vantage points helps quite a bit
most of the times resort is dead or full teams, other times I get sniped while chasing some shots outside of the resort.
Is there another good hotspot to sit around in shoreline?
at extracts π€‘
Whats the name of the store in inerchange with an apc inside?
oh I hate extract campers, I'll try to not do that myself.
survived with black everything except left arm and head
I just killed myself
Saw his helmet and screamed like a girl
by shooting a tree>?
ricochet
Bounced
