beginners-assistance

[desert hull]

and do wacky shit

[bold kernel]

and it's really hard to adjust

the learning may not be hard to be honest

it's just the time inbetween your death

and another match

which makes things hard to learn

it's like you're trying to learn how to ride a bicycle

but every 10 minutes you break your leg and either gotta pay to get it fixed intsantly or wait

[robust jackal]

Offline

[bold kernel]

pve is ez

shooting is ez

adjusting to pvp is not

[robust jackal]

I'm trapped on dorms

Hurt

[bold kernel]

have fun

[desert hull]

alpaca why do we not play

[robust jackal]

Sure

[desert hull]

you steal snutri from me

[robust jackal]

Haha

[desert hull]

tbh

[robust jackal]

2 guys here

[desert hull]

I have only played exactly one raid with snutri

and it was a clusterfuck lmao

but we meme here a lot

[robust jackal]

15min passed and they still don't know i'm here

[sterile whale]

so I just started yesterday and so far I haven't been able to find my way around the map to find an extraction point. Am I that bad or will I get better with time? haha

[desert hull]

are you in one of the rooms

like with the door shut

[robust jackal]

Hidimg behind a drawer

No

Open

[desert hull]

you need to look up maps @sterile whale

on the wiki

to learn extracts

[sterile whale]

I have one, I still can't find my way around! eeeek

[robust jackal]

They passed in front of mè so many times

[desert hull]

play in offline mode a couple times to learn where they are

[bold kernel]

or just look them up on youtube

[desert hull]

use landmarks on the map

@robust jackal is the door shut

[robust jackal]

Nope

[sterile whale]

ahh ok thank you!

[desert hull]

[robust jackal]

No door

[desert hull]

two options

[robust jackal]

Its dark

[desert hull]

well three

but one is not advisable

one, hide in room until they leave then leave

[robust jackal]

They only passed

[desert hull]

two, just run for exit

they wont catch you if they're not right otuside

[robust jackal]

Didn't look at me

[desert hull]

three, fight them no balls

[robust jackal]

I would but

Hurt

[desert hull]

I suggest #1 or #2

[robust jackal]

Two arms gone

[zealous forge]

Is there any reason to use the usp-1

[desert hull]

I'd take #2 if it was me but I'm pretty weird

[bold kernel]

wow u can actually dropshot?

[robust jackal]

If i cms i'm fucked

[desert hull]

I mean, yeah? @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

a kid just dolphin dove my ass

xD

[robust jackal]

They deaf though

[bold kernel]

nice shit

[desert hull]

yeah they'll hear you surg @robust jackal

@zealous forge what is that exactly

[robust jackal]

I aimed 30 times

[zealous forge]

dove tail scope

[desert hull]

I mean stuff like aiming can be interpreted as other things

surg kit is pretty cut and dry

[zealous forge]

I used it on a vepr and hated it

[robust jackal]

I RELOADED

My glock

[zealous forge]

So I assume it's just bad all around

[robust jackal]

Cuz just had kill a player scav

[desert hull]

most people don't use eyecups @zealous forge

its not the scope

its the eyecup

[robust jackal]

30 sec before they showed up

[desert hull]

scope is PSO

[robust jackal]

Ate a m80 to the chest

BUT LVL 5 RIG

😘

What is the most loud sniper u can think off?

Cuz just heard one around gas

ITS REALLY LOUD

[desert hull]

M700

is artillery

[robust jackal]

Ok

[desert hull]

sounds like a 203mm gun going off

[robust jackal]

That's a fucking gustav

[desert hull]

ye

thats M700 sound

[little hill]

just got that one on my scav, awesome sniper

[robust jackal]

Ok

Think im fine

Hearing scav

It may be the boss

[desert hull]

nah

boss is loud af

[robust jackal]

So not fine

[desert hull]

and they wouldnt let players leave

just jiggle peek corners

do you know what that is

[little hill]

does anyone know which key you need for factory shack?

[desert hull]

@little hill which shack

[robust jackal]

Heard one 700 close to bridge now

[desert hull]

the one in the generator room?

[little hill]

i dont know, i only know that there is a weapon case inside to loot

[robust jackal]

YES

[little hill]

to the right of the hole next to it

[robust jackal]

THEY LEFT

Killed normal scav ai

[desert hull]

thats pumping station

99% sure

[robust jackal]

NOW TIME TO ACESS MY SITUATION

And breath

And do surgery

[little hill]

you can do it!

[robust jackal]

And reload mags

[little hill]

@desert hull thanks

[robust jackal]

MOM I'M SCARED

I LOVE NIGHT

[dense pine]

are we now not allowed (and were allowed before) to take rubles into a match?

[normal bear]

Huh ?

[robust jackal]

Only reason they did not see me cuz they didnt clear all rooms

And they didn't had nvg

[normal bear]

If they disapeared its probably cause u insured something @dense pine

[dense pine]

AHH.

[robust jackal]

Now time to spend years to heal each 5 dmg cuz of fragmentation

[dense pine]

that explains it a lot

i used to always bring cash with me for V-Ex's

[robust jackal]

I do that sometimes

Depends on my plan for the raid

My goal

Just out it insidr docs

[dense pine]

my raid plans: run around. get killed

[zinc tartan]

Good plan

[robust jackal]

Glock is life

[zinc tartan]

Attainable.

[dense pine]

i think my pmc got killed by the same guy the last two raids :D

i assume there's no stats/api/etc?

[normal bear]

Well

There are some stats

In the overwiev

But thats just k/d and sr etc

Its kinda dumb k/d counts scavs in but ohh well

[little hill]

@desert hull but do u know the name of the key? i cant find it

[dense pine]

i'm not sure what the factory shack is :D

[normal bear]

Its called door key or something @little hill

And has a description 'key labeled pumping station'

[dense pine]

oh, isn't it cabin key?

[robust jackal]

Got jumpscared by my shadow

[normal bear]

Nah

[dense pine]

oh, nm

[normal bear]

Not cabin

[bold kernel]

762x39 ps or t45m?

[little hill]

found it, thanks!

[normal bear]

PS

Check the wiki for ammo stats

Just do !wiki ammo in the #wiki-chat

[bold kernel]

ez keykard tho

[charred crypt]

What would be the best way for me to get my mechanic to level 2?
Its at 430.1k spent and I only have 144,493 on me

[bright meteor]

just sell guns to him

[charred crypt]

I only have 5 guns left 😦

[dense pine]

@charred crypt i'm in the same boat

[charred crypt]

Are any pistols worth keeping? I have a glock, p226r and a TT

[bold kernel]

what should i do with the keykard?

[little hill]

glocks can be nice with big mags

[charred crypt]

The other 2?

[zinc tartan]

Glok is decent, P226 is good, TT is mostly a meme, but its cheap.

Ammo is mostly the thing the decides what is a 'good' gun.

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel lab keycard?

ye

sell for 200k on flee

not running that at all

[charred crypt]

@zinc tartan Ok I'll sell the TT, thanks

[bold kernel]

could i trade it for stuff i need?

no i mean you can literally sell your keycard

[ruby sedge]

Silenced tt is a fun little gun

[bold kernel]

for 200000 roubles

[zinc tartan]

Do some research on the ammo types to see the pros and cons for each.

[bold kernel]

ok i will

😛

just make sure to sell them at the flee market

and not at the vendor

[zinc tartan]

Rip ammo sucks against armor and AP will take 100 shots to kill via leg shots.

Know your strengths going in.

[ruby sedge]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jjWcIue0_PCsbLQAiL5VrIulPK8SzM5jjiCMx9zUuvE/htmlview?sle=true

For the quick ammo chart

[serene cloak]

hey what do you guys think is the best starting weapon, i cant seem to hit anything with the sks, so far its the only weapon i cant use at all?

[zinc tartan]

Bingo, use that ^

[serene cloak]

hey what do you guys think is the best starting weapon, i cant seem to hit anything with the sks, so far its the only weapon i cant use at all?

[bold kernel]

lowest keycards go for 196k rubles

@bold kernel then undercut it to 192k

195 it is xD

lmao

or do that

theres people putting them up for 165k

wtf

well im setting it to 200k and its whatever

hey man i wouldn't complain

it's still practically free money

[robust jackal]

I'M OUT

🤣

[bold kernel]

oh

[robust jackal]

😍

[bold kernel]

you died

[little hill]

@serene cloak if u are usec go for the mp5k, that way u can lvl up peacekeeper too

[robust jackal]

Nope

[bold kernel]

lol then u gay

[robust jackal]

I EXTRACTED

Two quests done

Yes

[bold kernel]

you are?

195k is what i did

lets hope we sell

xD

[robust jackal]

40 min raid

Only two kills though

[serene cloak]

@little hill thanks

[bold kernel]

thats 187after fee cost

for running through factory for 45 secs thats worth xD

do i need to keep the water bottles in my inventory?

it sold

yeet

[ruby sedge]

I bring water into every raid

[serene cloak]

also what are hatchet runs? is it exactly as it sounds? even with the whole have to heal after you die thing?

[zinc tartan]

Not if you are thinking of a shorter raid, or hope to find some juice in raid.

Set out with water at 100 and pray is my go to.

[ruby sedge]

Never know when I'll get into a 45 minute raid

Not so bad now that u can surgery your guts

[robust jackal]

800 xp to lvl 20

XD

[zinc tartan]

@serene cloak Hatchet runs are going in naked with only a melee weapon and trying to find a gun/take some gear in the raid.

[robust jackal]

Not worth

Grab any gun

Is better

[zealous forge]

Well offline moding dorms taught me something

[robust jackal]

At least to kill scavs

[zinc tartan]

Typically done when the PMC is wounded. What he said, its a meme.

[zealous forge]

I need why more fucking ammo

[serene cloak]

hmm i tried that with a knife and didnt exactly work out, i can see machetes are on sale at the fence, are they good?

[waxen forge]

Melee = death

[robust jackal]

@zealous forge it depends wich gun you using

[waxen forge]

Can get a lucky kill here and there but overall waste of effort trying

[zealous forge]

Ak-105

[hoary lion]

opinions on the M9A3 pistol from PK ll1?

[robust jackal]

Full auto guns never would bring less than 120-160 bullets

[zealous forge]

Was using 4 mags of BT

[robust jackal]

Alwaya bring few mags

And spare ammo for at least one or two more mags

[hoary lion]

i always take atleast 3 outside and 1 in

[ruby sedge]

Yeah, why run in with a Hatcher and die to a scav, when you could spent 15k on a vepr and live

[hoary lion]

dude vepr is king for early

shreds scavs

[robust jackal]

@zealous forge bring 60 spare bullets

[zealous forge]

Yeah I brought exactly 160 bullets

[zinc tartan]

Matches are good. A trading and crafting item, dont buy any. I promise you will find a ton in raids.

[zealous forge]

40 in my beta

[zinc tartan]

@serene cloak ^

[robust jackal]

How the fuck you ran out

160 bullets

[faint raven]

anyone wanna do money run with me on interchange? Here to help people

[hoary lion]

king

are you from eu or us?

[faint raven]

eu

[hoary lion]

yo

lets do it

[robust jackal]

You don't need to full auto everyone you see

[hoary lion]

scav or pmc tho?

[faint raven]

pmc only

[hoary lion]

my scav is on cd

good

well im gonna bring just a pistol with flashlight

[zealous forge]

It was over a dozen scavs in one hallway

[robust jackal]

Or at least shoot in small bursts

[faint raven]

trio november

[hoary lion]

gonna chck tehxo/techlight

[robust jackal]

Scav boss @zealous forge

[hoary lion]

do you have kiba key?

[zealous forge]

Yeah

[faint raven]

yes

[robust jackal]

Kiba is noob trap

[zealous forge]

I killed most of the raiders

[robust jackal]

Telling ya

[faint raven]

you coming?

[zealous forge]

But two scavs finished me after I ran out

But hey that's what offline mode is for

[robust jackal]

Snutri bought the key and sold it in less than 24 hours

[hoary lion]

hold on

im extracting

[robust jackal]

160 bullets is usually enough to loot either more ammo or another gun

[hoary lion]

k lets go

[ruby sedge]

3 or so runs pay off kiba key

[robust jackal]

Sometimes just dump you gun somewhrre hidden and grab another one @zealous forge

[ruby sedge]

If you play interchange a decent amount it's a good key

[hoary lion]

@faint raven which room?

[desert hull]

@robust jackal kibas good

[hasty minnow]

Hey! I'm just, kind of interested. Is it possible to level metabolism out of raid by eating-drinking, or do all skills only level in-game? 🤔

[robust jackal]

99% of the time you will get ur gun back

[desert hull]

you got to go as a squad and leave people outside

@hasty minnow as of the start of this wipe it was in raid drinking and eating

[waxen forge]

Metabolism is in game olnly

[ruby sedge]

Or be the first, or last person there

[desert hull]

It may have changed but I'd just stick to in game

[hasty minnow]

thanks!

[desert hull]

@robust jackal I like you

don't come to Shoreline today

[robust jackal]

Lvl 5 rig saved my bacon so much XD

[desert hull]

[robust jackal]

TY <3

[desert hull]

gotta get 5 more PMC kills

[waxen forge]

Chug some sugar or condensed milk. Let it get to 0...Chug water. Rinse and repeat a couple times. Metabolism will rise quickly.

[desert hull]

racking them up pretty fast all things considered

[ruby sedge]

Shoreline is like call of duty now

Cause of the ledx spawn lol

[ripe basin]

quick. Tetis or graphics card? Which to put in gamma?

[ruby sedge]

Graphics

[hasty minnow]

i was thinking of eating some mayo and drinking water, i guess that shld leve metabolism kinda fast

[robust jackal]

I still need to do the signal quest in shoreline

That one been sitting there for a while

[ripe basin]

ty @ruby sedge . Just died but got the gpu saved. tyvm ❤️

[zinc horizon]

im just kinda lost rn

lmao

[robust jackal]

Kinda?

[waxen forge]

Yup Mayo works too

[zinc horizon]

with hideout and tasks and invenotry space

[ruby sedge]

lol unlucky

or lucky?

the tetris is tied to how much a bitcoin is

[ripe basin]

I got lucky. GPU is 250K thats big for me. I'm still unsure of what to take and what not to

[ruby sedge]

You'll get there, just takes time

[zinc horizon]

same i have 2 junkboxes full and another half full

[robust jackal]

I need 7 graphic cards found in raid

[zinc horizon]

and idk what to do

[robust jackal]

I'm sad

[hasty minnow]

is the flea market supposed to be this control-able btw.? It feels like it is easier to make money on flea market than anywhere else by just, trading

[robust jackal]

3 more lvl to Prapor lvl 3

[zinc horizon]

idk how to level those fools up like well

especially ragman

[robust jackal]

Quests

[waxen forge]

Tasks, level character, spend money to the desire point with them

[robust jackal]

Sell rigs and backpacks to him

[zinc horizon]

i have like no space in my stash

[robust jackal]

And buy penis helmet

[zinc horizon]

i have alot of good shit lmao and almost 3 full junkboxes

[robust jackal]

TONS OF THEM

And sell them bacc

[zinc horizon]

i dont have gear fear tho

well lowk

[hasty minnow]

buying and selling them on the market is better. He will lose less money by doing that

[robust jackal]

He doesn't lose

LOL

Buying and selling counts as money spent

[hasty minnow]

does he sell and buy it for the same price?

[hoary lion]

hows the LZSh light helmet?

[robust jackal]

Nope but its for levelling him

[zinc horizon]

solo just sucks lol

[robust jackal]

Faster

[waxen forge]

To level traders there is a required money "spent" with each one

That goes up by buying from and selling to them

[mossy vine]

Djetta helmet, good or bad?

[waxen forge]

So to level traders you have to buy and sell to them to some point.

[hoary lion]

And the LZSh helmet ^

[ruby sedge]

thats the lvl 2 black one

right?

[hasty minnow]

It is faster. But you can pretty much buy like 50x of those headsets, and sell them for ~2k less on the flea. Thats less money loss

[mossy vine]

Lvl2 black with visor

[ruby sedge]

that thing is useless

[zinc horizon]

anyone know where to find the mags for ice cream quest been to zb014 so much and nothing

[mossy vine]

Kden

[bold kernel]

How can I get junk boxes? Do I have to buy?

[mossy vine]

U can find too but rare chance

[robust jackal]

But the point is not making money or not just levelling him up

Fast

[waxen forge]

Honestly they spawn so rarely in the bunker it's not worth checking

[ruby sedge]

@mossy vine makes you deaf, and doesnt block the best pistol ammos

[waxen forge]

Just buy them or kill killa

[bold kernel]

What bunker

[hasty minnow]

Well, if it is a newbie, money used is mostly a huge factor. 😄

[bold kernel]

Where's Killa at?

[zinc horizon]

interchange

[robust jackal]

Interchange

Middle of the mall

[mossy vine]

I heard guy found lucky scav box in marked room too

[robust jackal]

Around mantis/kiba/generic

[bold kernel]

Oh that guy

[ruby sedge]

ive got 2 weapon cases from marked room so far

a scav box would be nice

[mossy vine]

Any box would be nice

[robust jackal]

I got a Tetriz on sacrifice on woods yesterday

Fun stuff

[bold kernel]

We killed him b4 but I didn't get good loot, just a gun or sth

[robust jackal]

Wut?

His gear is a fortune

[solid tundra]

anyone for something up i am new and would like to duo with someone or trio or so on

[steady pilot]

Ecks dee

[robust jackal]

And he has grenades/cards/bitcoin

Keys

[bold kernel]

guess who's back

back again

[mossy vine]

Only times i got keycards to lab were both on scav spawn

[bold kernel]

it's me and i realised that my mental issues might affect my gameplay

[mossy vine]

Also meh

[bold kernel]

ye uh

sometimes

i see stuff that isn't there

same for hearing stuff

and it might apply to videogames

[steady pilot]

[mossy vine]

Schizophrenia

[ruby sedge]

[tribal rose]

ruff

[mossy vine]

But this internet

[barren current]

kill killa

[bold kernel]

i don't think i'm a schiz

it only happens when i don't sleep enough

[zinc horizon]

does the marked area on woods spawn as good as stuff as it does on customs

[mossy vine]

Then u do drugs too much

[hoary lion]

@faint raven you coming mate?

[barren current]

night intherchange take your time camp on top of the goshen escelator and the kiba octogon up top

[ruby sedge]

@zinc horizon yes, they loot tables are very similar

customs marked got "bufffed" so i assume its much better then the others now

and can confirm you got alot more items on average now then before

[robust jackal]

Custom dorms is free estate

[zinc horizon]

ok what about upgrading hideout should i like actually do that or nah

[robust jackal]

And i hate so many quests there

[ruby sedge]

iff youve got the cash, and need the space

[robust jackal]

what bsg been smoking?

Gunpowder?

[zinc horizon]

i just feel like i can use the stuff on better t hings

[ruby sedge]

then theres ur answer :]

[bold kernel]

@robust jackal ik Killa has good loot

We were 4man and they all high level, I basically didn't even really help all that much so I let them loot

[robust jackal]

I swear Woods scav boss spawn rate is 10%

[zinc horizon]

i never find him

[robust jackal]

He never shows up

Same

[gray mountain]

Seen him a couple of times, but then again I only play Woods

[robust jackal]

I wonder if its bugged at this point

[zinc horizon]

i only play woods too lmao

[robust jackal]

Been trying to farm him at night no luck

At night scavs are braindead

[gray mountain]

I feel like its the easiest map to learn except for factory

[robust jackal]

Can't even aim

[gray mountain]

lol

[zinc horizon]

ya it is and i feel it has a big payoff

[main trout]

i've been playing customs since most things i saw say beginners should play customs

[waxen forge]

Ez Clap

[main trout]

lmao
it's been hard but i'm learning

it's like dark souls in the sense you just get beaten senseless and that's how you learn

at least personally

[bold kernel]

Where to aim for Killa?

I'm trying to farm him offline

[robust jackal]

If you avoid customs building and dorms you usually fine

Depends

[waxen forge]

Legs

But yea depends

[robust jackal]

Ammo?

[main trout]

yeah i never go in customs building and dorms
at least not yet

[bold kernel]

Bp 762

I could run bt or prs ( I know prs is bad)

[sturdy wadi]

Should my first run be with a pistol?

[serene cloak]

i have died to the same person at least 3 times in the last week, why do we always end up in the same game?

[bold kernel]

@serene cloak rng

or you keep going for the same map

[sturdy wadi]

I've seen alot of video's saying that i should

[bold kernel]

@sturdy wadi go offline

Or scav

[blissful trench]

Did he DimmaDome you?

[bold kernel]

I did scav straight away

[serene cloak]

please dont

[waxen forge]

Limited servers selected for both of you and running same map a lot...then RNG

[desert hull]

anyone notice all ammo is rising in price?

[robust jackal]

@bold kernel you can break his armor if you shoot enough

[sturdy wadi]

That's fair enough

[bold kernel]

How much is enough

[blissful trench]

Should I run customs or interchange as a scav?

[bold kernel]

I got 120 rounds plus 20 bt

Factory

[sturdy wadi]

You need ammo so i can understand it raising in price

[bold kernel]

Free loot I swear

[desert hull]

no

ammo doesnt just rise in price for no reason

all ammo is currently on the uptrend

[robust jackal]

45 pen? Not much

[blissful trench]

I ain't falling for that one a seventh time, oh no mister

[robust jackal]

Not more than a mag in the chest most likely

Try chest and legs

In offline

Helmet can also work but can't be on the faceshield since its lvl 6

[bold kernel]

@blissful trench well last run I went from a Makarov to an vpr to ak74s ak74u and an m700

[gray mountain]

Can I have headsets with the Kiver-M?

[desert hull]

we're going hunting boys

[robust jackal]

But helmet is lvl 4

[desert hull]

@gray mountain no

[bold kernel]

And all that to die from a camper at exit 3

[gray mountain]

I just got giga sneaked on because I couldnt hear shit

[bold kernel]

@desert hull lul

[robust jackal]

@desert hull get chad supressor

[desert hull]

how expensive

[robust jackal]

No lvl 5 rig

[desert hull]

doing cheap ass runs

[robust jackal]

😭

[desert hull]

I'm bushcamping

why do I need armor

[bold kernel]

what's a good amount of money to make in 3-4h of gameplay in tarkov

What map and region

[robust jackal]

Scavs bush vision kappa

[ruby sedge]

The Bush armor, best kind

[bold kernel]

I've got my slug saiga setup to bush hunt 😂 😂 😂

[desert hull]

@bold kernel odd question

[ruby sedge]

The best armor against bullets is just not getting shot in the first place

[robust jackal]

Gotta move out of that bush if you shoot unsupressed enough

Or Take a m80 to the chest and survive

[ruby sedge]

you havent heard of greater north american barking firebushes?

[robust jackal]

🤣

[desert hull]

the idea is

I shoot you

or some other poor fella

and take his kit

[bold kernel]

wdym odd questio

i'm just curious cuz idk if i should be proud of myself or not 😡

[desert hull]

because nobody is recording that kebab and it depends highly on 96 different factors

[robust jackal]

Wich scope and map? @desert hull

[desert hull]

1p69 and shoreline

3-10x

[robust jackal]

3-10 is way too mych zoom for me

[desert hull]

3 is perfect for close

10 is a bit long but I like to go for the long dick shots

[robust jackal]

But i use it mostly on woods

Nah 3 sucks if the guy less than 30 meters

[naive tusk]

@dusky hazel accept me

[robust jackal]

I use 1-6

On woods

Luv it

[desert hull]

1x is too short

for CQB

well "CQB"

with a bolt you want a 2-3x for closer range

cause you need more accurate shot placement than most

[robust jackal]

2 is fine

3 for cqb is too much for me

Especially cuz i play with lower sens

Glock and 5-7 are in my favorite guns

Love them

Even more now glock saved my arse on dorms

Little devil

Ap 6.3 😘

[desert hull]

or just dont use a scope at all

ez claps

https://gfycat.com/slimfreshcoqui

@robust jackal

[robust jackal]

Dvl10 no scope should be illegal

[desert hull]

DVL?

das a m700

[zealous forge]

The spawns in wood are retarded

[ruby sedge]

youve obviosly never played interchange

[barren current]

nice shot

[zealous forge]

One of the fucking largest maps in the game and I'm sandwiched between three guys

[bold kernel]

Activate windows bruh

[steady pilot]

Imagine not activating windows

[desert hull]

IMAGINE MAKING THE SAME STALE ASS JOKE

sorry

[gray mountain]

going silenced sks no helmet kekw

[steady pilot]

Oof sks

[gray mountain]

probably gonna lose everything giga quick

[blissful quarry]

i feel like a loot hoover for other people, ive twice managed to haul together a sizable inventory and even kill a couple of people only to die near the end, i can only afford 1 more run (more if insurance is kind)

[steady pilot]

Scav more

[waxen forge]

Scav runs for loot. Passive.

Don't look for fights. Loot PC's and stuff on Interchange and get out

[steady pilot]

Sherpas give free gear and good advice

👌

[blissful quarry]

every time i scav i spawn within 100m of like 3 players and die within 2 mins

[steady pilot]

(I like to kill sherpas in game and watch sherpalings panic 👌 )

[north swallow]

if you play your scav like that life actually matters youll make it out more

[waxen forge]

What map are you scav that you spawn within 100 of 3 players consistently?

[north swallow]

but if you just full yolo sprint youre gonna die

[robust jackal]

My first week was 95% scav 5% pmc for quests

[blissful quarry]

customs believe it or not

[steady pilot]

Oof that's why

Interchange and reserve are the money maps

[robust jackal]

Avoid dorms

[waxen forge]

Not near as much loot on customs as Interchange. So not much reason to scav there

[robust jackal]

And shortcut

And gas station

[north swallow]

only reason to scav there is for a free shot at the bosses

[little hill]

fifth time dying after finding a gas analyser

[balmy dew]

customs is the easist one to survive as scav! can avoid players completely for the most part

[bold kernel]

Do headsets make footsteps stand out more? I feel like the only thing they do is make everything louder

[robust jackal]

And customs building

Avoid half the map

[blissful quarry]

i will start scavving interchange, but i dont know it

[robust jackal]

And you fine

[blissful quarry]

last 3 scav runs of customs i havent even left where i spawn, i just spawn in peoples paths

[steady pilot]

@blissful quarry best learn interchange now

[balmy dew]

@bold kernel pretty much, except loud noises are quieted

[steady pilot]

Huge questline on interchange

[robust jackal]

If you loot power station and garages at first is enough

[bold kernel]

I see, thanks man!

[robust jackal]

Or just go for oli/texho/techlight/rasmussen/generic/mantis

Idea

Goshan

[blissful quarry]

i dont know what that means

[robust jackal]

Stores names

[zealous forge]

Just download a map and scav it a few times

[steady pilot]

^

Interchange is super slow and afk at night time

[steady pilot]

The fuckin

Coffee stians

[waxen forge]

Just remember it's a mall. Ollie (green) on one end and Idea (blue/yellow) on the other

Everything else moves towards middle from these.

[robust jackal]

Got like 4 weapons just going for weapon crates last run

Two aks-74u, one dvl10 and one ak74m

[bold kernel]

Oh and I have another question. I find it extremely hard to figure out what the range of footstep sounds actually is. When I'm approaching someone I never know when exactly to run/jog/walk

[robust jackal]

Usually do that when i'm scav with smoll backpack

[waxen forge]

Run is usually bad

Sound like a herd of elephants

[bold kernel]

Experience will probably help me with that but I was wondering if there's some kind of guideline I could follow

[robust jackal]

@bold kernel do you use headphones?

[bold kernel]

Yes I do

[robust jackal]

Only run if its safe or they already know u there

[twin wedge]

i hate using in game headsets

[robust jackal]

Makes no difference then

@twin wedge wtf?

[gray mountain]

They are soo good

[robust jackal]

You can hear someone running 50m away from u

[gray mountain]

I almost feel handicapped when I dont use them

[robust jackal]

How do you hate that?

@gray mountain cuz u are

[twin wedge]

i main customs and walking through the trees is ear piercing

[robust jackal]

Whenever i do scav and no headphones i feel deaf

[bold kernel]

It makes stuff so loud though, I'm not very comfortable with them either

[gray mountain]

and I main Woods

[bold kernel]

But I'm a noob

[robust jackal]

GSSH your own noise is way to loud

I use sordins or comtecs

Try those two

[gray mountain]

I started today with a full inventory

Im now down to 1 gun

lost like 6 of them today

[twin wedge]

i just got 2 comtecs

[bold kernel]

I will! Bit short on cash though, I die all the time because I'm bad. I usually just dive in with a pistol and 1 mag and some healing

[desert hull]

thats why you're bad

mag gear fear leads to mad death

[twin wedge]

my buddy dropped 2 fully geared dudes with a vss

i baited tho

so like

[lost crypt]

he was a meat shield

[twin wedge]

i did the same amount of work

[lost crypt]

i am they buddy

2 ez M4

s

[robust jackal]

Gotta spend it to make it

[lost crypt]

eh

[robust jackal]

Also sell makarov

Just do it

[gray mountain]

I have

[bold kernel]

Very true, things have gotten a lot better. But I never make out alive of dorms though hahaha

[Only play customs for now]

[gaunt raptor]

Anyone wanna walk me through some raids, not really played any of the content at all

[robust jackal]

DON'T GO DORMS

Unless quests

Or do night raid

Dorms is a bloodbath

[bold kernel]

Yeah it's hard as heck

[robust jackal]

If you go there best at least half-geared

Gud ammo and a gud rig or armor

[bold kernel]

omfg

I'll probably just avoid it unless quests

idk what's up with that white bar but i just got a stalemate

[twin wedge]

big tip, watch a SHIT TON of youtube videos

jdawg th3 wise is really good

[bold kernel]

thanks i'll watch tarkov youtubers exclusively from now on @twin wedge

[twin wedge]

yes

[bold kernel]

I've been watching the vids on customs, it's definitely helping

[waxen forge]

Markstrom and DeadlySlob stream in the am US Eastern time. Then Klean comes in a bit later. Also watch Pestily (But he makes it look so easy). and Kotton for the fun of it.

[twin wedge]

pestilys accent is to much for me

ova heeah

kotton is great

[lost crypt]

@bold kernel

[bold kernel]

They all make it look easy haha

[lost crypt]

i use this for customs

[twin wedge]

and deadlyslob is canadian so that makes him instantly good

[lost crypt]

once u play it a lot its easy

[sturdy wadi]

I've been watching shroud and Geekseh

[bold kernel]

Yeah I've got that map up on my second screen, it's so useful

[lost crypt]

shrouds not the best to watch to learn lol

hes entertaining tho

[sturdy wadi]

Yeah but i've learned a couple things from watching it

[waxen forge]

Yea Shroud is a damn good FPS player but he's newer to EFT

You can learn from Klean telling him stuff though since he's been playing with Klean often.l

[sly pond]

theres a quick 150k

[bold kernel]

welp

my last 2 pistols are gone

guess i'm fucked now

Knife time

[silk tartan]

just try interchange

ez money

[faint violet]

is EFT post apocalyptic

[bold kernel]

@silk tartan i don't rly know interchange

i know where extract is and all but i only played it vs ai

[robust jackal]

Offline boi

[silk tartan]

i can lead you now wanna join?

[bold kernel]

no

it's 1am

[gray mountain]

Man, I really need to start aiming at their head. Other shooters has conditioned me to think that I only need a few shots more to kill after Ive already hit them a couple of times in the chest

[silk tartan]

just playtime began

[bold kernel]

i'm going to bed and i'll cuddle my pillow dreaming of aks and actually killing ppl outside of stalemates

[silk tartan]

kk

[bold kernel]

Now that's relatable

also the last time someone lead me anywhere

[gray mountain]

AK74M or the AKMS for the cheap build?

[bold kernel]

i got 2tapped by a scav

I'll go play youtube videos fullscreen, unplug my keyboard and pretend that I'm playing

in my eye

hmm

do weapon masteries do anything

or are they just a way to show off

[waxen forge]

In Escape from Tarkov the handling of weapons can be trained through active use. In short, the more you use a certain weapon, the more skilled you become with it.

Currently level 2 provides no extra functions, whilst level 3 grants you access to new reload animations and the ability to reload while aiming down sights.

Variants of a weapon family share the same mastery. You can see which guns are connected and how much EXP each level requires below.

[robust jackal]

@gray mountain 74m

[waxen forge]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Weapon_mastery

[robust jackal]

But get an optic

At least that

[bold kernel]

That's a really cool mechanic

I like that

oh

nice

[gray mountain]

Yeye, I'll try and afford an optic 🙂

[bold kernel]

i don't see a reason to always be adsing though

since it drains stamina

[gray mountain]

Just sell the AKMS for money?

[robust jackal]

Nah depends on ergo @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

also no need for knifes

[robust jackal]

I can ads my glock all day

[bold kernel]

i have already peaked

[robust jackal]

Doesn't use stamina

[bold kernel]

What's the advantage of having an axe instead of a knive

Except fashion purposes, ofcourse

[robust jackal]

Nothing

FASHIONKOV

[real trellis]

I bought the game today and I am struggling so much but I’m still finding it fun even though I lost half my gear whats the easiest map to learn and play that’ll also give a good result in terms of rouble value at the end??

[bold kernel]

Aha I see

[waxen forge]

Nothing. Melee isn't really a viable way to kill people

[robust jackal]

Customs is the best cuz quests

[waxen forge]

It can work occasionally but usually you get shot.

[real trellis]

Ah right

[bold kernel]

wow the maps are USELESS

[robust jackal]

Would move to interchange as soon done wuth those quests

[bold kernel]

they let you choose spawnpoints though right

[real trellis]

I played a bit of customs today all seems a bit confusing even with a map up on my second monitor xD

[robust jackal]

In-game maps are noob traps

[bold kernel]

Thanks for all the advice guys! I really appreciate it

@bold kernel hatchet

is a meme weapon

only true men can handle it

[waxen forge]

Nope @bold kernel Used to let you choose spawn point. Hasn't been in game for a long time

[gray mountain]

Cobra EKP or OKP-7

[robust jackal]

@real trellis play offline till u don't get lost

[gray mountain]

or is it just preference?

[bold kernel]

wow then i just wasted a bunch of cash

on a map that's not really useful

[robust jackal]

WHY...

[real trellis]

Okay thanks for the advice 🙂

[steady pilot]

Okp dovetail is good

[waxen forge]

OKP 7 all the way for me. Think Cobra optics are trash.

Other's may like them...

[steady pilot]

Okp weaver is trash

[steady pilot]

This trash

[waxen forge]

What he said

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel hey

[gray mountain]

Dovetail good, reflex bad

?

[bold kernel]

Hai

u doing any good in tarkov?

[steady pilot]

Dovetail is a green triangle version. The okp weaver version is a giant opaque blurry red dot

Its trash

[waxen forge]

Yes. Dovetail good

[gray mountain]

Actually I just realized I wasnt looking at stuff that was linked to bastion cover

[waxen forge]

But he Piliad Weaver is good

[gray mountain]

what of the ones to the bastion cover is cheap but good

[waxen forge]

Different weaver

[bold kernel]

I'm struggling but I get by. I have a lot of experience with shooters so I can win quite some gun battles. Have to get used to the pace of the game and the way to move and stuff though, I die a lot

[steady pilot]

P1x42 works

[waxen forge]

Shooters and this game are a different animal

[gray mountain]

sure, its cheap enough

[waxen forge]

Struggling when you start is typical

[bold kernel]

well i'd say i'm above average in shooters but i still end up getting shit on 24/7

got like 3 playerkills today

[waxen forge]

How you do in other shooters matters little here

[steady pilot]

The prism 2.5x scope is cheap and good

@gray mountain

[bold kernel]

i can tell

[gray mountain]

Actually, how do important is holding breath when not using at super long range

I'll check it out delta

[steady pilot]

Compact mount+ prism

👌

[bold kernel]

Normally I would agree but I was a Squad player. The way guns operate feels similar enough so that I can carry over some skill

[steady pilot]

Carry handle prism👌

[gray mountain]

A bit expensive, might be able to buy it if I sell some stuff

[bold kernel]

Also I'm pretty alright at spotting things but I can't hear footsteps and stuff for shit so there's that

i hear stuff that isn't there so that's not very helpful

[frosty crown]

I think i might be sexually attracted to guns

[bold kernel]

where do those points go?

Having a blast though. Getting out of a raid alive feels amazing

getting out of a raid alive feels amazing

Joined this server today so I'd get to play some duos. I've been told they're even more enjoyable than solos

good for you

it was fun talking with you but you know

my pillow is waiting for me

:C

Goodnight man! Gl

[gray mountain]

@steady pilot

which one

[steady pilot]

Both are good. The 2.5x is cheap

Like 17k

Monstrum is 30k

[gray mountain]

19.3k

ye

one is a lot cheaper

I'll go for that one then

[steady pilot]

I appreciate the reticle. Some dont.

Cause they dont know to use it :p

[gray mountain]

oh wait, I dont think it fits the bastion

[steady pilot]

The compact mount?

[gray mountain]

ye

2.5x

[bold kernel]

Holos are my favourite in every game. Can't wait to get my hands on one of those badbois

[steady pilot]

Buy the ta51 mount

[zealous forge]

How long does s v exit in woods take?

[steady pilot]

Ta51 is for acog but I think prism fits on it

[gray mountain]

aha there we go

@zealous forge 1 minute

[steady pilot]

Did it work?

[gray mountain]

ye

[steady pilot]

Yeet

[zealous forge]

I mean to come

[gray mountain]

Also I didnt get an answer earlier, but how important is holding breath in medium range fights

like in woods

[frank beacon]

um

if you want to try and shoot them in the head or ur sniping go for it

[gray mountain]

Yeah I was meaning like if both of us are standing behind a tree and shooting at like 15-25m range

because I feel like I can have my ironsight directly on top of them but still I dont hit shit

Also, is PS ammo fine or should I be getting anything else?

[robust jackal]

@gray mountain close range matters little

but if you trying to one tap someone

hold breath

or long shoots

or using zoom optics

[uncut hare]

how the heck do i do setup?

[desert hull]

cant find this part on flea

why the hell not

searched it 30 different ways

[gray mountain]

@uncut hare check #news-setup

[zealous forge]

The Hunter really is nice for sniping

[robust jackal]

by the by never use fireman and kolpaks

just don't

[gray mountain]

Turbo, did you rightclick and go "Filter by Item"?

[robust jackal]

if you aim with a mosin without holding breath and holding breath with a 3.5X scope holy moly the difference is huge

[sturdy wadi]

So i bought the game how do i download it?

[robust jackal]

check your email

[bold kernel]

your profile page will have a link

[sturdy wadi]

Thanks

[uncut hare]

how do i react? sorry i am new

[bold kernel]

What do you mean with react

[sturdy wadi]

I think he means emotes?

[bold kernel]

Click the little emoticon thing all the way to the right of your message when you hover your mouse over it

[uncut hare]

it says use reactions to set server, language, etc... and i dont have any options to do that

[zealous forge]

Well time to sin and hatchet run dorms

[bold kernel]

#news-setup

That's in that channel right there

[uncut hare]

right.... been in there....

[bold kernel]

click on the reactions already in place

[gray mountain]

Is this any good?

[uncut hare]

there arent any :/

[gray mountain]

🤔 idk man, maybe you have turned reactions off or something

@steady pilot my dude, help me out. Is the scope I sent any good?

[frosty crown]

what rounds should i be using for an adar?

[waxen forge]

In setup it says pick server region and language. There should be Flags under that for regions. Just click the right flag

[jovial bolt]

can someone help me with jaeger quest?

[zealous forge]

@gray mountain personal I hate that scope

And would sell it

[desert hull]

@frosty crown How rich are you

[gray mountain]

alright

[desert hull]

scratch that, just use M856A1

[frosty crown]

ive got 100k lol

[steady pilot]

@gray mountain that thing is horrible

[frosty crown]

im rich in spirit

[desert hull]

if you're extremely broke just use a different gun

ADAR requires good ammo

[steady pilot]

Either use a pso-1 or 1p59 scope @gray mountain

[frosty crown]

ive got some ak-74s

[steady pilot]

Instead

[gray mountain]

I just found it in raid and extracted with it, wasnt sure if it was good or not

[steady pilot]

@thick briar can you do mod things and add role to white name above

[jovial bolt]

where do i get help with a mission?

[winged meadow]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Escape_from_Tarkov_Wiki

[jovial bolt]

i tried findingthe crashed plane and couldnt even find that

[desert sinew]

[gray mountain]

oh, so you get Jaeger by finding him

[desert sinew]

[gray mountain]

[uncut hare]

[waxen forge]

Yes

[uncut hare]

of #news-setup

[robust jackal]

[winged meadow]

[zinc horizon]

[steady pilot]

Do what your heart desires @zinc horizon

[uncut hare]

[solemn rampart]

@zinc horizon you need his helmet later on for a quest but its very end game

@uncut hare go to the duo hotel chat

[uncut hare]

k

[versed swallow]

Bear or usec

[robust jackal]

just extracted with 30 sec left

everything according to the plan

cold blood to loot just a lil bit more

MOAR LOOT

[steady pilot]

I've extracted with 0 seconds remaining 👌

1.5mil interchange run

Butt clenched ngl

[robust jackal]

Heh

[split vapor]

ryan bad

[jolly wren]

I die as I get to the extraction point

[robust jackal]

Yeah already getting good at calculating the time

I was like

Just one moar crate

I have time

Pfft

Know my extractions

[steady pilot]

Shoot badder

[robust jackal]

Seems a lot of ppl with extract campers trouble

I'm yet to run into one

And i have almost 2 weeks

[faint violet]

^

[ruby sedge]

ngl i just made a weapon so spicy it hurts to hold

[frosty crown]

I feel like whenever i bring gear im just super unlucky lol

[robust jackal]

It may be the server

Or the timing

[steady pilot]

Apparently US people dont extract camp as much

Most complaints are euro

[robust jackal]

Usually extracting around 20-30 mi is the mpst dangerous time

[faint violet]

US people?

yeah we arent fucking pussies

[steady pilot]

Kappa

[robust jackal]

Most ppl extract in that window

Also been playing shit ton interchange only 2 extracts and been fine

Yeah i play Miami no problemo

Also there is a smoll difference between extract camping and being killed near to extraction

Crossroads on customs is really dangerous

Usually i do trailer park

Or ruaf roadblock if i have the chance
