beginners-assistance

[steady pilot]

I have no idea my actual hours. I'd say I've played rather heavily since .07

[frigid junco]

ive had the game 3 weeks, such a big learning curve but ive not found another game that keeps my heartrate high from start to finish

[steady pilot]

^

Only in gunfights for me

Lol

[bold kernel]

^

[steady pilot]

You mean 5 sec gun fight

[frigid junco]

or 0, just crack and black

[steady pilot]

3hrs modding for 5secs

[brisk shell]

Where's the scav extraction on customs, map was showing one near railroad to tarkov but I couldn't find it

[bold kernel]

Double tap o

And tell us the names

[frigid junco]

ive probably spent more time watching vids than playing

[steady pilot]

Or

@brisk shell

[brisk shell]

I was looking at that map

I was running around for 10 minutes

[steady pilot]

Double tap o

And tell us

Names

[brisk shell]

At that railroad

[steady pilot]

Ree

[potent atlas]

what exfil u have available

[brisk shell]

I'm sead

Dead*

[steady pilot]

Reee

[brisk shell]

Lol

Do you get to keep the stuff you start with as a scav if you escape

N e a t

Like I don't die from ai or players

Only thing that kills me is me running around trying to find the extraction

[steady pilot]

I'd learn to scav on interchange if you want money btw

[steel fable]

AI wont shoot you.... if you dont shoot them (as a scav)

[brisk shell]

Then bam timer runs out

[frigid junco]

need more offline raiding to learn the efils

exfils*

[steady pilot]

@brisk shellsounds like you should play offline mode and find extractions without impediments

[brisk shell]

You see I would but

I have an HDD

So map loading is hell as it is

[steady pilot]

[brisk shell]

:')

[steady pilot]

@brisk shell yeah but it's way quicker than matching

[steel fable]

I've never used offline mode. I feel like I should.

[brisk shell]

True but you don't get anything from it so I rather learn online

[steel fable]

I enjoy the thrill of running around scared in Oli, or Idea... just lost.

[brisk shell]

I don't take much with me anyway

[steady pilot]

Youndont get anything but you dont lose either

[brisk shell]

Yea I know

[steady pilot]

Not with that attitude

[steel fable]

Forrosa - Thats accurate. But not always the case.

[steady pilot]

[steel fable]

I survived my first 5 raids, only cause I hid until 5 minutes left, then googled an exit

[frigid junco]

just play the same map over and over till you got it

[brisk shell]

Tbh on customs when timer is like 14min

There are bunch of dead bodies with weapons laying around

So

I don't even take a weapon cause I'm still learning

[steel fable]

@brisk shell so many dead bodies at the end

[steady pilot]

You guys need to learn to take the glorious budget weapon

[brisk shell]

Yea exactly lol

[steady pilot]

And not a pistol

And its not mosin

Cause mosin is 30k+

Sv98 is 25k and way better btw

You need the glorious 762x39 veprkm for 13k

Best pistol in game

[frigid junco]

so issue im having is so much dmg is being absorbed by the armour, is legging someone a legit strat?

[steel fable]

I like hiding, and waiting till I assume everyone has left the match. Then looting dead bodies on my way to the exit.

[steady pilot]

@frigid junco unfortunately. Just buy better ammo

[brisk shell]

I do same but then I become one of those dead bodies

[steel fable]

@brisk shell sometimes.... 😦

[steady pilot]

You can have cheap platforms and expensive bullets, just not vise versa

[brisk shell]

All I want is some water :(

[steel fable]

Odd question - Are there.... ghillie suits?

[steady pilot]

Skimping on ammo = death

@steel fable no

[steel fable]

lol thank god

[frigid junco]

mostly playing as scav, offline running m4a1 with m85a1

[steel fable]

I loved camping in DayZ, when Ghillie suits were rare.

[brisk shell]

Guns are more common than food

[faint violet]

[steel fable]

if you use ammo during offline.... is it gone....

when you extract

[frigid junco]

no

[steady pilot]

No

You revert to original stash

[frigid junco]

nothing comes in or out of offline

[steel fable]

can you team up in offline?

with a friend?

[steady pilot]

No

[frigid junco]

you level up but dont get the exp its weird

[steel fable]

hahah

[brisk shell]

It wouldn't be offline then

[steady pilot]

@frigid junco you dont get exp or legel up

[lyric storm]

uhhhhhh what the fuck

[steel fable]

i just wanna snipe my friends... 😛

[steady pilot]

It just shows it

[lyric storm]

i got bad service version twice in a row

[frigid junco]

ive legit gone from lvl 05 to 06 offline

[brisk shell]

Scopes are a burden sometimes

[steady pilot]

Nah

[lyric storm]

then when i got into the game i got fucken immense lag

[bold kernel]

it reverts

it shows u lvling

[lyric storm]

5 seconds later a duo pmc team showed up

[bold kernel]

but doesnt stick

[steady pilot]

^

[lyric storm]

[chrome swallow]

It would be so broken to level up in offline

[steady pilot]

^

[frigid junco]

like the main level stayed, but the exp in skills dissapeared

[chrome swallow]

Id be level 50

[lyric storm]

the games so fucken wtf

i swear

[bold kernel]

tru

[brisk shell]

You were able to get stuff in offline right?

[frigid junco]

so bug i guess?

[steel fable]

I killed two decently geared PMC's on customs. I was stoked. I got their dog tags... and while deciding what gear to take and extract with....

[brisk shell]

Like 2 years ago or something

[steel fable]

their teammate shot me in the face

[lyric storm]

definitely an annoying bug

[bold kernel]

i got a blue labs card

GATE 3 campers

3 of them

[lyric storm]

this game can eat my ass

[steel fable]

Which extraction location is the best to camp. 😛 Not that I am going to camp extractions 😉

@lyric storm that doesn't sound pleasurable.

[chrome swallow]

@bold kernel do offline while in a call together, if you can all beat him on your own then together should be no problem

[steady pilot]

[bold kernel]

gate 3

[lyric storm]

no shit it isnt

[bold kernel]

its the only garunteed extract for factory

[lyric storm]

i spent like 10 mins trying to load in, only to get killed in 10 seconds

[bold kernel]

everyone ends up there eventually

[brisk shell]

Depends on the person

[steel fable]

@lyric storm I used to have that issue. Then I switched the game to my SSD

[lyric storm]

bruh im on a laptop

[steel fable]

now i load the map/game in 1 minute. But have to wait for others to load.

[steady pilot]

Laptop

[chrome swallow]

My last interchange run i ran up the stairs and immediately got domed by killa

[brisk shell]

I rather get killed instantly then die after getting good gear to the timer for

[lyric storm]

my ssd storage is only 126GB

[steady pilot]

[steel fable]

Trade the laptop to Therapist, get a pc.

[lyric storm]

sure thing

[steel fable]

no

[lyric storm]

someone trade with me a psu

[bold kernel]

Okay so I don't think I ever want to play this game again

[lyric storm]

that things the last item on my list

[steel fable]

LOL @bold kernel

@bold kernel No one will force you to

[chrome swallow]

Dont give up @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

First I do this

[lyric storm]

first i kill myself

[ruby sedge]

Mfw when I roll into dorms and there's a 3 man floor 1 and a 2 man floor 2, dead scav boss on the ground

[bold kernel]

Notice this

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel just keep on trucking. Learn from your deaths. Only way to beat the curve is play better than you did before.

[bold kernel]

AND THEN THIS

Leg

[lyric storm]

send pc plz

[bold kernel]

The motherfucker got into the same raid I just killed him in

[steel fable]

.He came back into the raid

[bold kernel]

I’ve had this happen to me

[lyric storm]

lmoa

[steel fable]

wowowowowowowowow

[bold kernel]

And waited for me at extract

Because he KNEW

WHERE MY EXTRACT WAS

[steady pilot]

You cant come back

[bold kernel]

That's such fucking bullshit

[steady pilot]

In a raid

[steel fable]

@bold kernel I am not going to say that's bullshit...... But that is bullshit.

@steady pilot not even as a scav?

[bold kernel]

Look at who killed me and look at who I killed Delta

He probably hit you and you were bleeding or sum

[steady pilot]

His name wouldnt show

[bold kernel]

No

[steel fable]

Oh...

[steady pilot]

If he was a scav

[bold kernel]

I was 200m from extract and got killed

[steel fable]

Maybe if he damaged you, then you died from food/water need?

[bold kernel]

His name showed up

[steady pilot]

^

[steel fable]

Maybe he was the last to shoot you.

Like in halo, if you shoot someone, then they fall off the map, you still get credit.

[steady pilot]

@bold kernelhe was either hacking or you literally died to some other cause and he was last person to dmg you

[steel fable]

@serene flame No...

[steady pilot]

@neat grove

Help

[bold kernel]

But I got shot

That's how I died

[neat grove]

[faint violet]

Yikes

[steady pilot]

Theres more

[bold kernel]

I genuinely don't understand

[brisk shell]

Nerf scav accuracy pls

[steel fable]

what is an IRL Trade... and lol at Peacekeeper doing the banning

[steady pilot]

[bold kernel]

I'm so sad

[steady pilot]

@ news

[steel fable]

Peacekeeper = pro.

[bold kernel]

Wait I got a clip of how I died

[steel fable]

LOL

upload it

i wanna see it

"bled to death"

lol

^

[bold kernel]

Well shit I lied I don't have a clip

[brisk shell]

Can you immediately run to extraction after spawning

[faint violet]

🤡

Yes

You can

[brisk shell]

Free scav guns

[dry sphinx]

The small checkmark on the items means the item is found in raid, right?

[bold kernel]

I still don't understand though

[strange mural]

dpi is now fucked

help

now i can bind all aim related keybind to my bouse

[brisk shell]

What's the best weapon you can get as a scav

[bold kernel]

Fuck this game anyway

[strange mural]

there are no best weapons

[faint violet]

Lies

[strange mural]

but the strongest ammo wise are the m80 weapons

sa58, etc

[steel fable]

@crimson compass Did you upload the clip?

[brisk shell]

I mean as a scav I doubt you can spawn with every possible weapon in the game

[strange mural]

you cant

[brisk shell]

Ok what's the most expensive one

[bold kernel]

So there is no other explanation for my death except for bleeding out?

[brisk shell]

I'm trying to make some c a s h

[steady pilot]

R700 with tac30

[faint violet]

or you just suck

Idk

[steady pilot]

Fal is 50k

[idle bluff]

Here’s an explanation, hyporian:

[steady pilot]

French boutta say what I said

[idle bluff]

It’s a beta game on development by a small game company. You agreed by playing that you understood that you’re helping to find and test bugs that are bound to happen.

[brisk shell]

Tbh it's so hard to believe that a small game company developed this lol

[bold kernel]

I guess so

It's just so incredibly discouraging

[steady pilot]

[bold kernel]

Would've been the best raid I ever did

[steady pilot]

Welcome to tarkov

[bold kernel]

And now I'm back to 0 by something I don't even understand

[brisk shell]

Wait is there a 50cal ammunition in thia game

[steady pilot]

I had a 1.5 million interchange raid and died at extract because time ran out and couldn't hop fence due to no stamina @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

I promise you I didn't bleed out

I got shot right before extract

Like 200m away from the southern extract

[steady pilot]

So like

Move on man

That's tarkov

It brutally gapes anyone

That's what you signed up for

[dry crow]

*everyone

[craggy plinth]

[bold kernel]

It just sucks because I'm a nooooooob

And it felt so good finally doing something

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel literally everyone started how you did

It's a big learning curve.

Knowledge based game

[brisk shell]

Where is warehouse 4

[bold kernel]

I cry

back to makarov

[strange mural]

not lives

[pearl bobcat]

Anyone wanna raid with me? Just bought the game a few hours ago.

[strange mural]

gz!

i can give you tips for sure but cant raid rn

[pearl bobcat]

ty, already wanna off myself

[strange mural]

[pearl bobcat]

❤️

[strange mural]

keh

yep

take it slow

and expect to die

[pearl bobcat]

My first raid I killed 8 scavs with my pistol so I mean, I wasn't doing too bad

[bold kernel]

This game should let you shoot yourself in the head

[brisk shell]

There's a bottle of water stuck to the ground I can't take it

Even tho it shows me the take option

Where are these

[bold kernel]

Can you shoot door locks

[grim wagon]

no

[dull carbon]

thanks for costums map!

[grim wagon]

theyre made of pure communistium

no boolet can damage superior soviet lock

[cedar patio]

Any players want to play with a fairly new player?

[dull carbon]

Im new would like some help

[cedar patio]

@dull carbon with what exactly?

[steady pilot]

[dull carbon]

where's Terragroup employee room in woods?

[steady pilot]

Wut?

What quest are you on

[dull carbon]

ice cream cones

its optional

but i wanna find it

[steady pilot]

!wiki ice cream cones

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ice_cream_cones

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Ice cream cones

Ice cream cones is a Quest in Escape from Tarkov.

[strange mural]

down to 0.15 and 0.18 sens lmao

[dull carbon]

ty

[bold kernel]

Dude just buy the mags

[small latch]

any ideas where to find lightbulbs?

[steady pilot]

@dull carbon dorm 220 on customs

Mags are cheap

Especially since you get like 3 back

And can trade hdds for them

[brisk shell]

Thank you so fucking much

I finally got out successfully

:')

[steady pilot]

[brisk shell]

There's radiation exposure?

And toxication?

[steady pilot]

[brisk shell]

Ah ok, cause it says on a medkit I found-

That it heals it

[steady pilot]

can it heal this

[warm rover]

I think that a cheater may have killed me

[steady pilot]

Heavily doubt

[brisk shell]

I don't think there are many cheaters in this game lol

[steady pilot]

Dont post their names and say they are cheaters

Mods will get you for that

[frosty plinth]

also dumb to do, regardless

[warm rover]

fair enough, in fact I was running and someone one tapped me, i was 1 min in the raid...

[steady pilot]

That is not cheating. That's you being careless in a fresh spawn

[idle bluff]

^

Spawns intersect each other.

[bold kernel]

Omg gUys someOnE Was BETter thAn Me ThEy mUsT bE chEaTinG

[steady pilot]

Relax lol

[warm rover]

-_-

[frosty plinth]

one thing to know about this game is people will spawn and run straight to other fixed spawn locations

looking for easy/fast kills

[bold kernel]

I’ve just seen way too many people jump straight to accusations and not take into account the fact that they might’ve made a mistake

[strange mural]

Yeah

If you die

Its mostly your fault

[brisk shell]

Just play safe lol

[steady pilot]

Sks scavs are the fuckin worst

Swear to god

[bold kernel]

sks bad ecsksss deeeeee

[steady pilot]

SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

The gun is trash but scavs have magical accuracy

[bold kernel]

^

[open basin]

That one sniper scav at construction scared me first time he killed me

[steady pilot]

@open basin haaa

He said *BEACHHH

Toz ganf

Gang

Gtfo

[frosty plinth]

delta I one tapped some geared pmc slow peaker last night with your vepr km baby and felt like you would be proud lol

[bold kernel]

It’s the worst thing when you check for sniper scav and then he spawns in after you checked

[steady pilot]

@frosty plinth am proud my lil veprling

[open basin]

What time does scav spawns

[strange mural]

Scavs are always ther

Player scavs are supposed to spawn five to ten minutes in but its just random noe lmao

They can get to loot faster than players at times

[steady pilot]

Yeah they can spawn pretty quickly

[frosty plinth]

can any one explain the scav+player exfils? How is that supposed to work? A lot of friendly wiggling back and forth?

[steady pilot]

Yes.

You could probably do a voice command

That kinda hints at it

[frosty plinth]

lol, shit, I can't even get a scav player to not me kill as a scav

[steady pilot]

^

Tower somehow finds magical hatchlings and scavs that are cool

Well not like hatchling has a choice anyway

[frosty plinth]

lol, very true

[steady pilot]

I'd be more cynical to them. Toss them my bag of loot. And then leg, leg, stomach.

Tower is just nice and gives them his bag

[steel moat]

okay im trynna extract from woods and it says "you need to bring friendly scav in order to extract"
any ideas?

[frosty plinth]

lol

[steady pilot]

@steel moat good luck

[frosty plinth]

that timing

@steel moat just consider that exfil off limits

[steady pilot]

.0001% chance

[steel moat]

What does it mean tho?

[frosty plinth]

it means exactly what it says sadly

[steady pilot]

You need to make friends with a scav player

And extract together

[steel moat]

ahaha wtff

okay ty

[steady pilot]

[steel moat]

Has this like..ever happened?

[steady pilot]

Yes it can happen

Usually respond to the wiggle

[dense pine]

I had a guy do that. found me on factory, said "HOLD YOUR FIRE" about 30 times, had me follow him when i didn't engage, and gave me his bag eventually

[strange mural]

Yep

[steady pilot]

^

[strange mural]

Hold your fire
Follow me

[silver dome]

haha i am so happy

[dense pine]

granted, i missed a guy and died rather than extracting that time

[steel moat]

I mean, if there was VOIP, it'd be interesting, but there's not sadly

[steady pilot]

Will be

[steel moat]

oh nice, didn't know

[steady pilot]

Voip will be like 12.5 or 13.0

[steel moat]

Is it like a high priority feature or?

oh ok

[dense pine]

VOIP would make grouping good, but honestly, i think it'd probably kill this

[silver dome]

went into a raid with a tt , really salty and pissed because the raid before that i got a weapons case from the marked room but i died the next second i had a cool m1a and tier 5 armor then the next raid i went in with a tt pistol and i got a docs case AND a weapons case

[steady pilot]

And people say making money is hard

[silver dome]

^

[dense pine]

when it's prerecorded messages, it keeps that mystery somehow

[silver dome]

found 2 in a row i would have had 1.8 mill in under 30 mins if i exacted

or 2.4 mill

[dense pine]

heh, nice. you can give me one for 500k if you want ^_^ I guess i didn't know marked room was that good. customs dorms, right?

with the ritual markings?

[steady pilot]

Dorms can spawn it too

[silver dome]

yep

[steady pilot]

But reserve has the highest spawn rate

[silver dome]

atleast 100k every time u open the door

[steady pilot]

Reserve has 2 marked rooms

With insane loot

[dense pine]

well... i've been struggling for cash ever since that one day i had a great run against the market

granted, i need to sell a ton of stuff at this point.

[steady pilot]

Interchange my man

One gpu and you have 300k...

[silver dome]

gpu?

where does it spawn

what part of interchange

[steady pilot]

Tech rooms

Tech light, texo, Rasmussen, tech store across mantis, literally any PC

And theres like a 100 there

[dense pine]

I did get a gpu yesterday, first windfall in a while

gpu = graphics card = possible spawn in any computer

[gray mountain]

I always find it hilarious when I find it by the OLI store, like some fucker is gaming on the job

[bold kernel]

eyo folks im rather new to tarkov played it a lil bit before with some friends, but other then that i have zero knowledge of the game if anyone feels like helping me please PM me thx u ❤️

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel you can hire a sherpa

[steel moat]

I found 2 graphics cards over at techlight yesterday. In 1 run, haha

[steady pilot]

Accept the #521628660298678283 and get a blue name and unlock discord then check out #sherpa-info

Otherwise. Just ask questions here and #pvp-lfg

[bold kernel]

i dont wanna be a bother to a sherpa, they probaly have the hands full on other ppl 😛

[steady pilot]

That's offensive to them

[faint violet]

Sherpa system is stupid

Have I said that before

[woeful stratus]

Ive never used it. what makes it so bad

[steady pilot]

Its not but ok

[strange mural]

ey

delta

my guy

[faint violet]

It’s a whole process when it doesn’t need to be

Just go to lfg

[strange mural]

what was your mouses dpi and your ingame settings

[steel moat]

Sherpas are verified people that help beginners right? or am I wrong?

[faint violet]

It’s the same shit

[strange mural]

you have a corsair right

[steady pilot]

@steel moat yes

[faint violet]

yes

[strange mural]

yes greek

[faint violet]

But the system is stupid

[steady pilot]

They are guranteed people that know the game, want to help and provide any assistance, and provide accurate knowledge

[steel moat]

Well, I dont see how it can be stupid. MAYBE not effective enough, but it's always better than nothing. If they are whitelisted members you can always trust them I guess

[steady pilot]

Madiakz is head sherpa btw

[faint violet]

Just got to #pvp-lfg

😩

look there

For a guide

[rose echo]

@faint violet we cover 12 different languages and the player gets free gear, can you do that? 😏

[steady pilot]

Sack you can leave #beginners-assistance

[woeful stratus]

Most people in LFG are not looking to carry someone who is completely green

[faint violet]

Woah no way

[steady pilot]

With your negative

[faint violet]

12 languages

[steel moat]

whilst you can't trust anyone random that just offers to help you over the internet. Like no offence, but I'd never trust any of you on anything in game haha

That's why there are sherpas

[faint violet]

I’m fine with that

[steady pilot]

Trusting randoms over a sherpa

Like ok

[faint violet]

It’s worked so far

Now I got a squad

Lmao

[steady pilot]

Sack daddy, you're in #beginners-assistance and giving false information

[rose echo]

Then maybe Sherpas aren't so stupid after all @faint violet? 😊

[woeful stratus]

No guarantee your "Sherpas" are even good

[faint violet]

idk man

Never said they were stupid

I said the system

💦💦

[strange mural]

mad boyo

ive wondered

[steady pilot]

Its not stupid

[strange mural]

do you guys look specifically for people of those huge language bases

[faint violet]

Wdym

[steady pilot]

You can literally work with sherpas so you can have the same time frame to do a raid

[strange mural]

like do you have head sherpas for regions n stuff

[barren kiln]

how to quick switch an item

[faint violet]

probably

[barren kiln]

like you had in minecraft back in the day lmao

[frosty plinth]

@faint violet how is offering a service to teach people the game stupid? You don't have to use it? It's optional

[strange mural]

@barren kiln you mean quick use?

[steady pilot]

And again the knowledge sherpas provide is way better than the randoms you play with 100%

[rose echo]

@strange mural you have to be able to speak 5 languages to be a Sherpa

[steel moat]

Speaking of sherpas. How do we utilize that system as new players?

[strange mural]

you have to have them in your rig or pockets

[barren kiln]

No like with selling

[strange mural]

and then you can bind them to numbers

ahhh

[barren kiln]

and moving

[strange mural]

control click to move items to inventories

alt click to equip

[woeful stratus]

@frosty plinth what a straw man. Thats obviously not what hes saying

[barren kiln]

TY

[strange mural]

double click at the item

[faint violet]

...

[strange mural]

and open inventories

[brisk shell]

What's valuable in community market rn

[strange mural]

middle mouse to search

[faint violet]

Uh what’s valuable

M995

[strange mural]

@rose echo aww shit i only talk three and a half

[faint violet]

It’s stupid expensive rn

[strange mural]

[rose echo]

@strange mural I'm joking BTW, but we do have people from all over to cover different regions yes

[strange mural]

yeh

because i notice language trends in your sherpa listing thing on the site

[faint violet]

I want a Sherpa to teach me how to bust down doors 💯

[steady pilot]

[rose echo]

@faint violet sorry all Sherpas are busy right now 😏

[strange mural]

haha

[faint violet]

All good take your time 🤡

[strange mural]

yeah ok but imagine a squad full of bear assault sherpas

[faint violet]

Just 4 usec and one bear squad on factory

[strange mural]

big brain to destroy maps

[faint violet]

you hear them all swearing in English

And that one Russian

[silver dome]

guys why is there a breach option on doors

when u cant breach them

[steady pilot]

You can

It depends on the door

[faint violet]

Metal doors are eh

[silver dome]

marked room door?

[faint violet]

Wooden doors are easy breach

Depending on the way they open

[steady pilot]

It has to be on the right side

[strange mural]

you cant breach locked doors

[silver dome]

i remember i was breaching the marked room door for 10 minutes when i was new

[steady pilot]

Lmao

[faint violet]

[silver dome]

then someone came and 1 tapped me

[strange mural]

continuing to make the same mistake expecting diffrent results

[steady pilot]

I just

Wish there was a video of that

Just watching some poor sap trying to bust down the door

Then a SMH

And put him out of misery

[frosty plinth]

has some one made one of those maps for Reserve that points out where you use specific keys? Seen one for customs, but hadn't found one for Reserve yet

[steady pilot]

Didja check wiki

[frosty plinth]

i didd

[steady pilot]

Hm.

[woeful stratus]

liar

[frosty plinth]

oh?

[woeful stratus]

lmgfy

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Reserve

[frosty plinth]

YES?

caps*

[steady pilot]

@frosty plinth you are better off looking up each key and what lock they open and what's behind it

It's a little tedious

But is accurate info

For knowing what's behind them too

[frosty plinth]

@woeful stratus still wondering what I'm missing as it relates to my question

@steady pilot will do

[bold kernel]

hey

[woeful stratus]

well if you want ONE map with all the keys, its not on there

[bold kernel]

@steady pilot sniper expert

[woeful stratus]

theres a mapp for each key

[bold kernel]

anything i should change?

[woeful stratus]

sorry if thats too hard for you

[steady pilot]

Me no sniper expert

[frosty plinth]

@woeful stratus I'm not getting into an e-argument with some one who doesn't understand what straw man means

[steady pilot]

Maybe a Panama hat and cold fear balaclava so you dont stick out

[strange mural]

people with hats instead of helmets

are the true chads

[bold kernel]

lmao do ppl unironically use hats?

[strange mural]

yes.

[steady pilot]

Yes

[strange mural]

as a show of dominance

[steady pilot]

And it breaks silhouettes better

[silver quartz]

a sniper run is not truly complete without a pompom hat

[strange mural]

i killed a guy who was insanely geared

well king did

[woeful stratus]

@frosty plinth We dont have to. Cant help someone who cant read a wiki page

[strange mural]

1.5m on him and he didnt have a helmet

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel just saying that helmet will do literally nothing for you

[bold kernel]

ok

it's literally a tin can anyway

[steady pilot]

Might as well wear a hat

[strange mural]

i mean

protects from scavs

[steady pilot]

Instead of a walking green tip

[strange mural]

rebinding keys is a pain why cant tarkov recognize mousekey 16

[brazen owl]

helmets saved me so many times, sneaky pscavs with shotguns from behind, etc

[bold kernel]

wanna know what else is green?

[strange mural]

[bold kernel]

grass

also you can just take off your helmet

[silver dome]

@steady pilot what should i modify it to ?

i wanna do a vepr run

[bold kernel]

@silver dome lol

[steady pilot]

Ree

[bold kernel]

you're too slow

[silver dome]

exactly?

[steady pilot]

No

Do what you want

That's just my budget build

[silver dome]

is that what u like tho

whats the best build

show me

[steady pilot]

I recommend that

You can add a reflex and grip

[silver dome]

can i swap the muzzle to a suppressor

[steady pilot]

Or take it like that

Yes you can

Just saying if you add to much to it you are defeating the purpose of the budget rifle

[silver dome]

which suppressor

lol

[steady pilot]

Suppressor will get you far though

Technically

[silver quartz]

if you want to spend a lot of money on it why not use an AK-103 for example

[steady pilot]

^ the point i was getting at

[silver quartz]

the whole point is you spend as much as for 2 packets of crackers on a gun that's better than a OP-SKS

[silver dome]

suppressor will get me far? in what

[silver quartz]

but only for lightly-armored targets or targets with no armor

[steady pilot]

I mean I run 7x39 bp

In any 7x39 ak

[silver quartz]

isn't it like 600 per shot

[steady pilot]

Like 400

[silver quartz]

might as well run ak-103 then

xd

[steady pilot]

You can have a cheap rifle and and expensive ammo

Not a expensive rifle and cheap ammo

[silver quartz]

i kinda like PS ammo tho

it has really good stats with it's price

but yeah why use PS if you can use BP

[steady pilot]

It does

[dawn cargo]

Ps 762/39 isn’t bad

[steady pilot]

Its not.

Its literally better than any medium tier 545 round

[silver dome]

@steady pilot what ammo du suggest

[faint violet]

Alright boys

I’m doing it

[bold kernel]

hmm

vepr or vepr hunter

[faint violet]

hmmmm

[silver quartz]

the only reason why I run 5.45 over 7.62 is recoil, but I don't know if it's actual stats that make the recoil lower for 5.45 guns or is it just a mere placebo effect that i've put on myself

[faint violet]

7.62 because 7.62 is cheap

And 7.62 ps is cheap and viable

[silver dome]

@steady pilot what ammo would u suggest

[faint violet]

For what gun

[silver dome]

the vepr

[silver quartz]

it's viable for armors up to lvl 3, that's about it

[faint violet]

7.62?

[potent atlas]

BP is best for it

[silver quartz]

ye

[potent atlas]

but expensive

[faint violet]

Ps is fine

[silver dome]

lol

[faint violet]

Check the table

[silver quartz]

well 400 per shot isn't that bad

[faint violet]

BT is also fine

[silver dome]

alrighjt , what vest and armor should i take with it

[faint violet]

6b13 or whatever it’s called

And a kiver

That’s what I use

It does fine with saving my ass

[potent atlas]

sack daddy we talked about 7.62

not 5.45 lol

[faint violet]

yes

I said that

[bold kernel]

factory exit key works on customs too?

[faint violet]

7.62 ps is fine

[silver quartz]

alright if you run 7.62 PS the only real problem is lvl 5 and 6 armor

[faint violet]

yeah

That’s why it’s fine

[silver quartz]

at that point you should go for headshots

[faint violet]

it’s 80 per shot

[steady pilot]

762 ps doesnt struggle too hard with lvl 4 armor.

[faint violet]

And most armors it’s 👌

[steady pilot]

It won't pen right away

But will take it out

[faint violet]

But that’s why aks semi auto is quick

[silver quartz]

up to 3 shots and it should be done with it

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel it works for the door that on the wiki map is called shortcut. There’s a bit of loot there too

[steady pilot]

762bp is so strong with the recent buffs

[silver dome]

@faint violet this one

?

[steady pilot]

Like look at the stats of 762 bp and its cost

Compare it other costly rounds..

[silver quartz]

^that will protect you against scavs, pistols and buckshot

and maybe one or two cheap rifle rounds

[silver dome]

then what do i buy

[steady pilot]

Lvl 4 armor?

[silver quartz]

that's lvl3

[small perch]

armors are expensiv haha @silver dome

[steady pilot]

You sure?

[silver dome]

yup 😄

what armor then

[small perch]

i like to run with a armored rig sometimes

[silver dome]

dont say tactec

because

[steady pilot]

!wiki 6b23-1

[silver dome]

tactec is too expensive for a vepr

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Special:Search?search=6b23-1

[silver dome]

lmao

[silver quartz]

personally I like to take a tactec with me all the time, but since they're gone from the barter trade almost always now

I replaced it with a tv-110

[steady pilot]

!wiki 6b23 1

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Special:Search?search=6b23+1

[steady pilot]

Fuck

[bold kernel]

!wiki 6b23

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Special:Search?search=6b23

[bold kernel]

Bruh why he no like this armour

[steady pilot]

Ok it is lvl 3

[silver quartz]

@silver dome tactec used to be 50k for a golden tt trade, tv-110 is like 50k off of flea + repairs

[silver dome]

yep

[steady pilot]

6b13 is the cheap Russian lvl 4

[silver quartz]

^or that

[steady pilot]

That one is ok

[silver quartz]

it always comes back in insurance, lol

[steady pilot]

Killa armor shouldn't be too expensive

I think

[silver quartz]

killa armor is 130k right now

I'm pretty sure

[buoyant flume]

Holy fuck lmao. 3 GFX cards & 1 Tetriz so far. All hail Interchange

[steady pilot]

Ah it rose a bit

[bold kernel]

6b13 isn’t very good after being repaired once tho

[silver quartz]

yeah it's not that bad compared to HMK being 300k with a barter and the Redut-M being 220k

[bold kernel]

#screenshots @buoyant flume

[silver quartz]

pretty much the same armor but better and cheaper

[silver dome]

cooldowns whats ur level

[buoyant flume]

23

Been playing for about 2-3 weeks now

[stone surge]

Redut-M is 220?

[potent atlas]

yes

[silver quartz]

yeah

[stone surge]

L what a waste of money then

Gen4 goes for around 220 aswell rn

[silver quartz]

gen4 hmk is roughly 300k with a barter 🤡

and killa armor is like 130k

same armor, totally different price

[potent atlas]

killa best option

cause you can repair very good

[stone surge]

Tactec needs to go back to 60k and that's the best value you can get

[silver quartz]

tactec barter trades need to be fucking restocked properly

each restock it's like 3 tactecs

globally

[stone surge]

ye tactec stock sucks dick atm

also

[silver quartz]

i have like 7 golden tts in my stash

[stone surge]

barter = 2 TT pistols now

[silver quartz]

lmao

[silver dome]

anyhting missing?

[silver quartz]

uhhh an ifak

or salewa

[silver dome]

lol

[stone surge]

remove the wallet

[silver dome]

how much does an ifac cost

[stone surge]

remove the painkiller

from the safe container

[silver quartz]

21k ifak, salewa 14k

[stone surge]

and put the ifak in safe container

as backup healing

[jovial pulsar]

Question: Server connection lost on the raid I was on. It's not giving me the option to reconnect, and the insurance notification has gone off. Is this a bug, or did I get killed while the game was shitting the bed?

[stone surge]

then put a salewa or CAR as inraid heal

[silver dome]

but i need the wallet ;c

[silver quartz]

what for

[silver dome]

extract

[stone surge]

if I go interchange or labs I always heal more than 500 points

[silver dome]

vex

[dense pine]

@jovial pulsar sounds like you got killed while discoed

[jovial pulsar]

Well fuck.

[dense pine]

agreed. sorry man

[stone surge]

Wallet for what?

[jovial pulsar]

Glad I decided to go budget that round 😄

[silver dome]

3 types of cash

when i loot safes

and also for v-ex

[stone surge]

those are worth nothing generally

you sometimes get 10k

[silver quartz]

Volkov how much money do you currently have?

[stone surge]

but that 10k is nothing compared to other items

i mean, even 1 bolt

is more than 10k

[silver dome]

damn i got ifak for 17k each

good or bad

@silver quartz 1.1 mill

[stone surge]

the money looks juicy, but items are almost always worth more than 10k

[silver dome]

true

alright fairwell wallet

[dense pine]

i'm using a docs case in my secure for keys, and leave a few slots open for keycards and money

[stone surge]

also painkillers are 3k

[silver quartz]

I'd suggest buying a docs case and selling the keybar and getting rid of the wallet

and saving up for a SICC case

[silver dome]

lol

[stone surge]

so not worth putting in safe container

[jovial pulsar]

Is there a way to find out who killed me while DC'ed?

[silver dome]

what should i fit in

[stone surge]

looks fine

[silver quartz]

yeah looks aight

[stone surge]

you can put in painkillers maybe

[dense pine]

@silver quartz thoughts on sicc vs docs ?

[stone surge]

but replace it asap

[silver quartz]

sicc all the way

[silver dome]

lol

[stone surge]

when you find items

[open basin]

Keytool is like 300k more than docs case

[stone surge]

but it's 3k so whatever

[silver dome]

what does sic cost

[stone surge]

1.5m or so

[silver dome]

i could afford it

but what items

[stone surge]

but why

[silver quartz]

nah it's like 2.1m isn't it

lemme check

[silver dome]

only keys and cash

?

[stone surge]

I don't even have docs or SICC case

it';s more of a quality of life

than anything

and more valueable once you know how to play

(make lots of kills, loot lots of stuff)

[dense pine]

@stone surge i prefer docs case (at 2x1) over keybar (at 1x1) due to things

[silver quartz]

apparently sicc is at 2.3mil right now

sicc can take keys, dogtags, bitcoins, gp coins, cash

that's all I think

[chrome swallow]

Info

[silver dome]

aight ima head in

[silver quartz]

oh yeah

[silver dome]

anything mission

[stone surge]

@dense pine docs case is good, but idk I generally just replace my ifak/splints/CMS I have in my container

[silver dome]

missing

[silver quartz]

it can take info too

[stone surge]

and put more valueable stuff in instead

i dont find bitcoins that oftena nyway

more than 1 that is

[tall chasm]

can some help me complete database part 1

[silver dome]

why is cms so exp

[stone surge]

because it's the best item ingame

😛

[silver quartz]

I find GP coins in every other safe, imo the SICC is 100% worth it

but it's kinda expensive

[stone surge]

sicc is worth it, but not for newer players

they won't utilize it properly and dont have keys

that'r valueable

my opinion atleasat

[silver quartz]

well yeah if you don't have any keys worth keeping you might as well just ignore the SICC

[open basin]

docs case is good for value

[stone surge]

sicc is worth it the moment you struggle with being overloaded with expensive items

and bring lots of keys

[tall chasm]

can someone help me complete database part1?

[silver quartz]

its also good if you farm bosses/loot many safes per raid, since you can drop all coins in there

[stone surge]

instead of paying 1.3m for sicc case

pay for lab cards instead

farm up to 10mill

then buy sicc

😄

[silver quartz]

true xD

you can't die much tho

[dense pine]

oh hm.... is wiki struggling?

[stone surge]

just go in with vepr hunter, 4x mags, armor 3 body armor

camp it out till last ~25-30min

farm raiders, get 3x Gen4, some HKs

extract

works 90% of the time

[lyric storm]

Easy for you to say

[silver quartz]

camping is boring af tho, I prefer running 5-7 on interchange with a tri-zip and pulling 200k-1mil per raid

[stone surge]

it's only hard if you never done it

but if you wear sordins go by sound, most geared ppl are gone by 30mins

[lyric storm]

• if you're not some god tier shooter

[stone surge]

the idea is to kill raiders

not players

[silver quartz]

fuck it, just pistol run labs 🥴

[lyric storm]

Lmoa

[stone surge]

and vepr hunter has m80, so you can basically pewpew them down in 1 or 2 shots

for less than 40k

[lyric storm]

Yeah I know the vepr is god tier

[silver quartz]

I've yet to play Labs this wipe

[stone surge]

labs is daunting, but if you have 1mill to spare

i would say go in with budget gear + vepr hunter m80

[silver quartz]

I sunk all of my money into the hideout

[stone surge]

see how your runs go

[bold kernel]

Labs is barely profitable anymore

[silver quartz]

tomorrow it should be maxed

[stone surge]

how is it not profitable

you can litterly farm raiders and get 3 gen4s

[lyric storm]

Also I got my first nade kill today

[silver quartz]

fuck gen4's

go for stims

300IQ strat

[lyric storm]

That retard was still looting scavs when I yeeted a nade into the factory office room

[stuck hamlet]

I'm assuming a less than 4 minute average raid life is a bad thing?

[steady pilot]

[lyric storm]

Kinda made every scav around me angry tho

[stone surge]

ye

4min is kinda below average

or maybe not

cuz tarkov

[silver quartz]

if you're new to the game, ignore the survival rate and average raid life time, focus on learning the maps and playing safe with budget loadouts

[dense pine]

yeah, usually people hide prone in a bush longer than 4m ;)

[stone surge]

^

and don't let dying prevent you from going in again

[dense pine]

yeah, budget loadouts are a lot of fun

[stone surge]

because it'll happen a lot, to everyone.

[stuck hamlet]

Yeah, I've been playing since '17... Just apparently a beginner because I'm still trash. 🙂

[lyric storm]

I'm lvl 15 but I shoot like a lvl 5

Pepega

[silver quartz]

whenever I learn something new about the game I feel like it's easier to make money

like each small thing contributes to ultimately pulling fat stacks out of raids

[bold kernel]

guys

question

best keys for customs?

[stone surge]

marks key

marked*

[silver quartz]

marked key, 114 key

[stone surge]

@bold kernel https://forums.uwsgaming.com/topic/3871-map-keys-and-you/ 😄

[silver quartz]

and all the safe room keys if you like staying in dorms

[lyric storm]

The blue ones

[stone surge]

all keys with all the loot behind it

so pick your poison

[lyric storm]

Mostly the customs key where you can unlock the office room in the big red barn

[bold kernel]

what i have rn

[lyric storm]

Customs key

[bold kernel]

ye got it

@stone surge thank u

[stone surge]

np

[silver quartz]

machinery key is useless if you've completed the quest

[lyric storm]

The bottom right one you can throw it away after completing the task

[bold kernel]

@silver quartz i didn't

that's why i'm taking it for now

[lyric storm]

Oh

[stone surge]

@bold kernel just keep in mind that customs as a map (imo atleast) isn't the best to make money

especially if you only have 1 keychain

[lyric storm]

Also ZB-014 is for woods

Not customs

[stone surge]

it's better to buy shoreline keys but yea thats me 😛

[silver quartz]

yeah but pretty much gas station storage keys, marked key, 114, office, guard desk + all room with safes in them are profitable

[stone surge]

if you really like customs pvp, def go for dorm room keys

most of them are <20k anyways

[lyric storm]

if you want a cluster fuck

[stone surge]

custom dorms are easier than shoreline aswell

shoreline east wing is a complete fuckfest at times

[lyric storm]

Whenever I go custom dorms I'm greeted by the sound of 3 grenades

[silver quartz]

^make sure that if you run into the boss you play fast, either get in and out or take down a minion or two and then reposition, as pretty much everyone on the map is gonna know what's going on

[lyric storm]

In my opinion the safest and most profitable area in customs is the big red barn looking area

[silver quartz]

sometimes it's quiet, sometimes I see three squads rushing it

but it's pretty much the same with dorms, lol

[lyric storm]

Mostly for me nothing is happening there

[open basin]

the customs office?

[silver quartz]

yeah

[lyric storm]

Maybe I encounter a solo guy once in a while

[bold kernel]

@stone surge i plan on playing that map for some time anyway

since quests n shit

[stone surge]

makes sense.

[bold kernel]

so i might aswell take some loot along the way

[lyric storm]

Also prepare for the woods mission

[bold kernel]

and i'd like to have a keyset

[silver quartz]

if you're new then the first map to learn is customs

[lyric storm]

A nightmare for me lul

[bold kernel]

for every map

eventually

[silver quartz]

decent loot, fast paced PVP and a load of quests

[stone surge]

just keep in mind that it's not a "beginner" map. It's just that the game forces you there with quests.

it is easy to learn though

where extracts are

since you can only go left or right

[bold kernel]

what's a begginer map then?

there's no much thing

[silver quartz]

interchange maybe?

[bold kernel]

as a beginner map

[stone surge]

interchange probably

[bold kernel]

wtf interchange is HUGE

[stone surge]

that's why it's good

[silver quartz]

but it's calm

[stone surge]

you can go in there avoiding people
