M856a1
Its just a personal preference for me, not a fan of using tracer ammo
Will buy M856A1
Nobody is
Nvm, no one selling it for me
Its just the next best round
It was there
M885A1 = no one sells it
I your ss
^
M856, people sell it
Its not 88
are you guys talking about M856?
M856A1

ty

sitting in "Awaiting Session Start" for 30min now... is this expected with new players/server loads?
Reque
About the Factory key on customs, the wiki says it has 3 places to be found, on the Dormitories, on the building near ZB-1011 and near Old Gas Station
Is it guaranteed I'll find it on these 3 places?
Dont sit in a dead screen bruv
@upper sky you should have backed put or resetted 25 mins ago
Last time that happened to me restarting my game helped
Nothing is guaranteed
@steady pilot there's no Back button any more. it's just a SCAV run so do i need to restart the game?
Yes?
eh... i'm kinda spacey from a weekend partying anyways
so i'm not in a rush or anything

I wanna play some Tarkov but noone wants it
Can anybody help me with the game? i understand the basics but its really hard for me to play in solo
I know a tad bit about the game, but solo for sure sucks
yea it really does
Request a sherpa
ok
The hells a sherpa
Oh
Im inclined to agree, playing squad I just kinds follow the more experienced guy
P much
Get that large $$$
Yeah, I just wanna duo with another novice player
Not the worst idea. But requesting a sherpa to guide you is the best idea
Good way to make a friend on the latter though
I don't need a knowledge daddy, I just wanna play with someone
Fair
I wanna learn by myself for the most part
I'm tryin

Nini delts
anyone need helperino?
Trying to do bronze pocketwatch and extortionist but keep getting railed, if you dont mind @potent atlas?
I know rhe spots, just keep dieing lol
Hide till last 15mins
wait a sec

@steady pilot do you ever run m61 on the fal btw
Or do you stick to budget
M80 is hella good already
Nah m80 best overall round
Yeee m61 has much less dmg ye
Nobody runs good armor typically and it drops them with a few follow ups if does tank it
Yeh i got into a gunfight with a full gear player
If you can gurantee head shots or double chest shots then run m61
Shot him twice in the chest, destroyed chestplate and then headshot
Guranteed kill then
Missed my headshot again. Even though im running hamr
Do you know what reticle change does on hamr btw?
I havent noticed anything but it switches something
Guys I'm still in doubt about the factory key
Does it spawn randomly at one of these 3 locations?
Fancy word for red dot or reflex
On the wiki it only says: "Key location" so I don't know if 3 are spawned or what
You need the deltapoint reflex in order to use the top part of hamr yes
Snutri, but they always spawn at custom
Or there's a chance neither of these 3 spawn it?
Cant you just buy it anyhow
Ey I made friends with 2 geared out dudes
They killed the scav boss and let me loot everything
@brazen owl in customs/ scav bodies
Ok, so theres a chance it wont spawn at none of the 3 locations
Thats what I was asking
Alright
its random
5.45x39 BS is good ammo? Found some
bs is best 545
it takes 3 shots to the chest
and 2 to the head if they have a good helmet and you get unlucky
Level up, buy stuff sell stuff do tasks
Got two SV-98s off scav runs, which scope should I keep?
PS-320 or TAC 30?
Kool
Why not keep both scopes?
Also salewa kits are a nightmare to find
You can buy em
Was planning on keeping both scopes, but was wondering which one I should keep on my SV-98.
Would anyone be able to show me what I should be doing in a scav raid, I just started today and have no clue what I'm doing
Been trying to solo for weeks.. had pretty bad luck.. Not sure if playing with a team would help or if im just destined to be bad at this game lol
Nom you can buy and trade in.
I need 1 can of bug spray
Or whatever that is
Haven't found one before
Also I have 3 ak 74s from the raid
What do I do with them
Strip them for good parts, then sell them. Maybe keep one, I'm not sure how good they're considered.
Is the 9x19 GT good
gt?
Green tracer
Cool
you just get that off a customs map scav?
Playing as a scav on shoreline rn
@zinc lantern the 12x70 and 20x70 are outdated
@dire fractal thanks mate
hey guys ! any tips for beginners ? i reinstalled the game today after a year and i barely played it ^^
can anybody assist this noob on a run?
Keep going wven if you get fucked.
Do scav runs for money, and practice the maps in offline as a pmc
ight, thanks !
Anyone need any help?
@sturdy snow foxtrot trio you can hop in there 2 guys playing
Bruh it's hard to find players on the Asian server here
You can play with others on other servers aswell
I can't
Apparently if your ping is too high on a specific server they won't allow you to go there
Hmm try playing with NA players tell them to select new york city server it should be good for you or turkey, squad leader can invite you to his servers.
Can anyone suggest how to know my position on a map so I can extract?
I'll send you some maps
I've got a map up on my second screen, I can never tell where I am on it
@cinder elbow which map
I'm currently on Customs
So there two sides of this map north and south
One is where you spawn in trailer park area ( garages ) in front of the bridge.
Other one is industrial area factories.
in customs you will spawn normaly in the other side of the map compared with the extraction
Middle is Gas station (new gas )
I spawned at a gas station in my scav raid but I couldn't tell when I was on the map so I died because I couldn't extract
I've got a map of the area up already
hey fellas, anybody up for a scav raid in customs?
Bruh I can't join any server except for Asia and oceania
ill be in quad Hotel
I'd be down for a scav raid if you're right with having a new player join
I don't know how
you need to verify your profile first
in setup
and then accept the rules
when ur name appears in cian color you will be all set
Ah I see
on flea market yes
i sold them yep
How much you reckon
180-200k
can anyone explain me how does the wipe thingy works?
right click and filter the item
@desert sinew every wipe you lose your levels and whats in stash
you only keep weapon mastering
when is the next wipe?
oh okay
so 6-12months
What server
In 6 minutes I'll join factory as scav, miami 1,2,3 servers
My last piece of advice for yall is to check how much gas is in fuel cans that you buy on the flea market before you buy them
Metal fuel tank/ expeditionary fuel tank
type in and you'll find
and its just barter items
Guys does matchmaking change when you rank up, like do I get people the same level as me
No its random
Alright
Dosent matter what level are you
So keycard for 200k roubles?
you get matched against random people
So I can meet an OP dude all the time
I sold a keycard for 200k about an hour ago, and it sold in roughly ten minutes
195000
you could ask 4 motors if you need for hideout
Or should I go straight up for cash
go cash.
@silver hornet if u don't like interchange cuz it's dark do it at night nobody can see anything as well haha.
@lyric storm thats how it should look when u ask.
Cool
cause people can scam you with empty fuel
Still 100
hmm
Bruh I might as well ask for tier 5 armour
Kool
put up a trade for these
The trade doesn't restrict on any server right
i'll trade you when i see
armor is lvl 5 so it protects your thorax/stomach
helmet is lvl 4 visor is lvl 3
My name is Murky_LTE
I don't even have a headset
headsets amplify sound
Oh jaeger
38000 on flea market
But the market says that the sugar is like 3.4k
So what does the approx 3 489 roubles mean
Oh
38000-38500 full tanks
I haven't unlocked jaeger yet
So get them in flea market if you need.
If you're doing stuff in hideout you need your generator running.
The ones that sell for cash are giving me empty cans
Nor guy?
yes
49 hours
Eh it says 25
yeah you can have solar
i just clicked everything on setup for the voice channels but nothing is popping up
Go to #521628660298678283 and read the rules
Then tap on the tick emote
It'll give you this cyan role
Ebic
message/ping a mod then
Whenever I try to pick the thing up, it doesn't appear in my inventory
Its in off raid quest items tab
What does that mean
And you need to exfil
It's not there
No
Dang
well, crash on my 1st pmc raid, glad i found nothing important during those 5 mins
lol
If u got quest done might sell but if not keep
its a trade up item
after dooing 20 raids what would be good profit for a new player?
Try learning reserve
aaaaaaand it crashed again when i launched a scav raid
it has alot of loose BT/BS ammo and SNB
and modded or default aks laying around
and you could encounter scav boss / raiders
alot of scavs aswell
Customs is a must to learn I'd say tho
if only i could play on it xD
Interchange is a good one to learn too, it’s a very chill map with lots of loose loot. As long as you steer clear of killa and the Kiva store it can be a good 100-200k haul per raid
Having run Interchange over a dozen times, yet only extracted twice, there's a lot more locations to be wary of than Killa & Kiva.
As long as you’re not just out in the open I’d say I only die 1 in 10 times at interchange
Oli & Idea are particularly bad for players (both PMC & Scav).
Pc rooms and and the shelves on the warehouses in the back (hoses, nails and other valuable bits) are great loot areas
If I'm feeling a bit suicidal, I go factory
If you wanna be super duper safe you can just stick to the loot barrels on the outside of the mall and leave with a decent Haul from those alone
Killa was stalking me around genereic
Who's killa
I must’ve run interchange a dozen times but I haven’t seen killa once this wipe
Just hearing his laughs and footsteps
@lyric storm The scav boss
Let's say he is a though and thicc boi
He’s a dude with an adidas helmet an LMG who prowls around the first floor center escalators on interchange
Oh
And with ammo that focks you in the ass
The guy that wears an Adidas helmet?
Ah it's him
7n1
Chunky boi

Yeah i was just around the apc on generic
Yeah, but be careful cause even as a player scav he’ll murk you. Pretty sure all bosses and raiders are hostile to player scavs actually
Can I kill him with a shitty ak
Leg meta and pray @lyric storm
I see
If you kill him you make what 500k?
Although I saw a video of a streamer killing killa with every single gun and he sometimes gets stun locked by legs Meta
I don't know how people make 200k in a raid
That's a okay interchange run @lyric storm
It’s very easy, some common items are worth 100k alone
Like I just looted scav boss' bodyguards in customs and I got like 100k
If you find a hose on a shelf you’re already half way there
If you loot a graphics card from a PC you’ve instantly made 200k
I did
Take out mags and grips and stocks from weapons
Scopes too
And you have a smoll weapon
If you can’t fit a weapon take the valuable attachments instead
Learn to differentiate the AKs, some of them are worth 20k~ and others are 50+
Didn't knew Killa could be in Generic
@robust jackal he patrols anywhere around the center of the first floor so just be wary of that area, most scav bosses are like that where they have a set area they could be in
Bruh I have literally no space in my stash
Once you see that double escalator tense tf up cause he could be in one of those shops
I’ve even seen him crouched under the escalator itself last wipe
If you in a duo
You can switch killa aggro
Make him aggro you and you friend unload in hos back
Then he will switch to your friend and you shoot him
Zaryas are also good to get him to not insta melt you as well if it’s a good toss
@strong trout yeah but i never saw him go inside generic without a player luring him there
Tarkov is a horror game
Jumped out of my seat when i saw his helmet
Was just doing a scav run
or rather you were just ending a scav run
Interchange is such a good map to scav run on
He is funny
When i want him to spawn he never there
But when i don't wanna kill him
He always shows up
Murphy's Law at it's finest
I have like 10+backpacks inside each other
Should I sell this antique vase I found
!wiki vase
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Antique_vase
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page vase for a direct link or !wiki search vase for a list of all hits.
Yeah I'm too low lvl for that task
@lyric storm this will show you what it barters for or if is needed for a quest. so its value there vs on the market will let you know if you should/not sell
Also do interchange night and Killa is blind
Same goes for every scav
And every map at night
@upper sky the small tick on the bottom right?
@lyric storm not sure what you're referring to
Nvm I'm retarded
np mate
Surprising you can see as much in interchange at night and day.
Heh
Also easier and more safe to run
Not like woods
Woods night without NVG is blindness simulator
anyone looking to run some raids?
im such noob tough 😛
totally i mean once its shot its useless anyways
So it's good against scavs
yes
Yep
Cool
But if thr scav has an sks or a mosin nit really going to help
This is like my 3rd time using paca
But it avoids some dumb deaths
The first 2 I got one tapped
i used to run without armor when i started... learned fast to always take something
Pot helmet to go with it is gud
Watch me die again
interchange and shoreline (no resort) only shoreline. maybe factory im not sure. 18+ years old for invite. been playing since launch. I was level 65 before last wipe. dm me if you wanna run with mature players like myself and others or dm for invite
Dying is gud
Sometimes when I'm feeling cheap I like running with just a makarov or Toz and looting my way up :x
I'd recommend doing this to all the newbies to learn the basics.
You'll get your Toz back too like 90% of the time 😄
@lime glen if you’ve been playing since launch how have you not discovered #pvp-lfg ?
Toz ain't even a gun
Throw that shit on someone's face and it's way more lethal
Toz not even worth to sell
@strong trout where is the #looking-for-group? I'm totally new
Too much space for barely any money
Yeah, exactly 😄
@robust jackal Thx mate, working now 🙂
😀
Yeet I got my first ever juicy loot extraction
ok, maybe im just complaining, but isn't it a little unfair that when a player scav shoots you first and you kill him, npc scavs all start shooting you?
ye but i dont think killing a player scav should trigger ai scavs
Eeeee I guess that's how the game works
because you get punished for defending yourself lol
@sour plume I don't think they usually do, haven't played scav in a while though, so can't say exactly 😦
they absolutely do
im looting a body in the factory room outside gate 3, a player behind the pipes starts shooting at me while im looting, he peeks me again and i kill him, then the other 4 scavs in the room all come after me, i kill 2 of them, run out of ammo in sks and die
Yeah, I think it's still buggy, you might need to get hit in order to count as self-defense
kinda yikes in a game where even the smallest caliber round can kill in 1 shot to the face lol, and several scav-spawned weapons can 1shot chest, cant really just let someone hit you
Yep, now that I think about it, I usually start blasting everyone after my first kill.
But if you want to play it with other scavs, just hang out together
and shoot the guys that are shooting at em 😄
i mean is it really yikes when in real life a small caliber round can kill in 1 shot to the face?
this isn't CoD
whats some good m4 ammo

anybody want to take decentguy along on a raid?
@stone socket Do #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can see the whole discord
thank you brother
@stone socket hello my guy
@zinc lantern hello bro
well
im not great at this game gonna be honest with ya
i know somethings
where are ya from
i am from canada
welp
what's the most beginner friendly map? i always play customs, but dont get much done
shoreline is good too, easy to avoid pvp
and i'm having trouble with the 1st therapist mission, where the hell do you get salewa kits?
Customs has first task. It is small enough to get PvP but big enough to move around
i got mine from the car in customs
Interchange has a ton of loot necessary for tasks and to upgrade Hideout as well as a lot of tasks
just took a few raids is all
the white car at the far eastern end of customs
has a salewa
most of the time
what one could ask for dorm room 220 key?
you can get salewas easily from interchanges mantis store
Is prapor recovery time 2 hours or 2 days
its 2 days
I see one in there a lot of time
Ok
For insurance?
yes
Good cause I really want my 200k Adar back
72 hours
It's 24-36 hours. However if you upgrade Hideouts I believe it's the Intelligence module you reduce insurance time.
Ok
@golden jacinth there is also a salewa spawn in a couple of places on factory however they are not common
and shoreline's resort
However a lot of the shoreline loot (at resort) is locked. At least the good loot. 3 med station in Interchange unlocked.
Shoreline though has tunnel town, pier, and a few other places with loot if you want to avoid resort
Factory isn't really a loot map. Not enough time to loot since it's so chaotic. No real loot on the map.
In shoreline without keys you can loot all the 37 barrels
First, i need guns
True.
everyone always loots all the weapon crates and stuff
Scav run. Run passive. If you are really hurting for gear Scav Interchange and just exfil as soon as you spawn. Now you have a kit.
Daily streams at 2:30pm UK time - twitch.tv/mratomicduck Hey folks! I spent a hell of a lot of time on this one. Thirty four different stashes can be found o...
If not in that bad shape run interchange and loot passive. Don't look for a fight. Loot PC's in Ollie and Goshan as well as tech stores and some of the weapon crates. Get out and sell it all. Now you have $
Run offline PMC for practice while scav cools down. Then do Scav loot run again.
Couple runs and you will have $ and gear.
hmm
thanks
helps a lot
I want to learn all the key spawns
aswell
oh well, time to get to work!

Keys

Thanks so much Budracin!
@golden jacinth Customs is definitely not the easiest map, but there are a lot of quests in that map :/
i always team up with scavs 😛 AI is good bait
Maybe you're going too fast? 🤔
It feels like Tarkov has a tendency of putting enemies on your flanks once in a while
So just keep scanning around you often, not just once after you move
Okay, will do
idk i have never been shot in back and enemies that have been killed stay dead
Depends on how fast/where you move 😅
oh yeah totally more enemies go to your location once you fire... but they cant if i kill them before that
I always stuck to the edges of the area/map back when I started, that helps while learning the map
since you have less area to look at
I just found an SV98
oo
on a random body lol
@golden jacinth you can buy the salewa kits
Yeah, but you have to find them for the task
@golden jacinth
Nope
It’s really good
I got rushed and dumped mine lmao
No problemo
@golden jacinth I can do a run with you after work if you want 🙂
sure! If im avaliable i can, might have to go somewhere later
I'd assume so, you can try it out in the offline mode 🙂
Yep
Anyone live on the east coast
So many people here who are amazing but my time zone clashes with theirs
Oh yeah, @golden jacinth you EU?
Yep
Noice 👌
🇺🇸
Hi all, just bought the game not too long ago, anyone wanna team up for a few raids? i`m from Sydney region, Please let me know. Thanks!
🇪🇺
It's quite odd that the region isn't show on our profiles
What flag is that lmoa
What's the point of selecting it then
I CANT HEAR IT OVER THE EAGLES
😂
Eagles? I thought these were cats whinning
But imma delete it for sake of rules
@bronze ice damn straight brother
Also EU technically has also amount of stars representing member count
At least idea was that
Anyways not exactly correct channel
Brexit
laughs in Asia
anyone here?
Hello I'm here
Sounds like propaganda
that feeling when you're a pistol scav on factory with a tetris. and gunfire everywhere
@frosty plinth toz and keycard.. every single time
Makarov and a box of oat flakes
lol
My buddy said yesterday he loaded in with a red key card then died
oooof
Read people talking about it on the reddit the other day
That a couple people have spawned with it
damn..
Would be nice lol
Not bad not bad
it's worth more than I ever made/had in tarkov, pretty cool
let's hope for the best 🤔
Gl bud
legit spawned with only a knife one time as a scav
good times
they never expect the hatchling scav!
I spawned in with a resort key that I sold for 500k
scav runs are great way for juicy free loot
Just don't get too carried away with the scav lifestyle 😄
I ran scav runs almost exclusively the first week I played and hadn't done any quests :x
Main issue id say is not getting xp and obviously stash size issues XD
Yep and the rewards from quests
well depends on quest if itd be only to hand something in there's no issue
but if u gotta find well
Yeah, most quests later on require to run as PMC though 🙂
Getting the MP-133s is really easy as a scav though
5.45x39 BT or BP? BS expensive
Doesn't matter that much, BT is a little better though.
Both kill in two shots to center of mass
Ty
what is flea market price on dorm room 105 key?
hmm?
I found it in raid, still in raid, wondering if I should ditch it for a better value item, that is why I ask how much it is worth lol, been playing game only 4 days
1 sec I'll check it for ya
ty
thanks 😄
haha np
wait highest one after is 15k?
no, the highest highest one
oh lol
@robust jackal BT kinda sucks because it's tracer.
works ok as budget loadout though
Adar with 100 round mags and cheapest ammo is great

@stone surge traces doesn't really matter in factory
haha
got some pretty gud loot
gosh Gzhel armor saved my bacon
2 pmc kills
Good shit man
I do that on interchange trying to salvage my fuck up
Like accidentally beaching
yeah i had gear that i had to use
how much is a metal fuel tank worth on flea market?
never seen one before
paid off
can you check for me, still in raid 😄
I’m in school
oh damn
ak-74m is bretty gud
as far as i remember full metal gas cans are like 15-25k
like a real ak should
@cursive geyser ok thanks
16k empty
really? thats usually what i get my full ones for
Nice
I want my Adar back
I wish it fired a different round than the m4 so they wouldn’t take my mags
😢
If I am interested in making a jump to start running t4 armor, what body armor and helmet have the best value for the buck?
can anyone answer a question i have
?
fp-100 is it only used while in raid or is it passively used even when out of raid?
paca isn't really worth it
@earnest atlas only in raid
I disagree it helped me a shit ton first 2-3 days @cursive geyser
everything in stash/hideout dosent give any skill points or xp
TY
Saved me quite a bit from scavs
Paca is a meme
well it may stop like 1 buckshot and then won't do anything
better off buying a t3 armor for slightly more
Saved me from buckshot but then it’s destroyed
^
it’s nice for desperate budget runs
paca isn't t4 though, I am currently running t3 and interested on investing in the next armor class tier
Usually i can take two but that's cuz usually he is from some distance
No shit it’s not t4
The gzhel saved my bacon looted from one of the guys i killed
i usually run one of the 6b13's but they are a lot pricier
Same for that lvl 3 facedhield and helmet
T ammo is the bad type right?
Got ambushed by 4 scavs in factory underground
or go scav around and pick up some tac rigs that double as a armor vest
Wish I could wear soft armor under armored rigs
then which one is good?
Or buy armored rigs you kill two birds with one stone
@robust jackal nah tracer is fine in factory y, but BT can be kinda ehh especially if you face gen4 ppl
@potent atlas i would look up an ammo cheat sheet
any tips and tricks to get better at customs raid
.50cal 12 gauge shells saved my ass
i usually have one handy while prepping for a raid
Best shotgun shells imo
Worst i ran into factory was lvl 4 so far @stone surge
will probs have to open up sheet before buying
One lvl 5 helmet but meh
gen4 is really common, they just camp office/lockers with 3-5man squads.
Usually 3
what’s the helmet on the tracksuit boss
lasst time bought T ammo by accident and got oofed by scav that i couldnt kill with half mag
I used it but it got don sided by a mosin shot
I don't even get why ppl bother wearing tier 3 armor, it's such a waste of money imho
or sell and pay 10k more for actually decent gear 😄
Lvl 3 can stop bad 5.45
@robust jackal it can't even stop BP bullets, which is basically the minimum budget ppl go for.
I got a nasty trigger finger so I go through steel case ammo like fast
Well i went inside factory with lvl 3 stopped two M9 shots
Was it almost broken
@robust jackal you're now comparing 5.45 to 9x19 
😘
Going to check his M9
which also includes m9
A .45 acp
Could be RIP ammo
would knock lvl 3 armor on its ass
That doesn't pen a paca but does SO MUCH dmg
Also first time my screen gets full red and i don't die and extract sucessfully
Gud stuff
Yeah
👌
I ran on two shattered legs with painkillers
Extracted everything black except my head and one arm
Spawn in with random gear at a random time in a already underway raid
Factory
@fair bobcat get u juicy loot without risking anything
👌
Gzhel armor seems pretty solid
i mean that's the best thing to do right?
Mhm
If u don't have any gear
@robust jackal it's ceramic L. You're better off going for 6b3tm for budget tier 4 or tactec for budget tier 5
i just bought the game xd
But it isnt perfect cuz u can't do tasks and level up
i lost 3 pistols and my ak
Yikes
That’s why you go naked first run
Go offline mode and learn maps
Or scav
Either or
Or find ppl to play with like i did
i'll play customs before i learn anything else
To safely see stuff around and get loot
anyone wanna play with me now?
Yeah
I'm sure you'll find someone
@fair bobcat Customs is quite hard as a map though
I already got some dude I play with now
I’m trash solo but I’m a good second
even though they force you into that map for starter quests
It’s weird
@stone surge i saw many tips that the best map for newbie is customs
it is only true because the map is easy to learn
the map is really lineair
how do I get 556 ammo?
flea
Ye map is easy to learn and navigate but not easyy any means
its just not showing up
customs has chokes and chokes, so you'll be forced to go through the woods behind dorms or go on the streets to move to the other side of the map and this way you're almost forced to find people
