Labs keycards allow you to go to the map labs @light minnow
@long spear yes please senpai
They talked about needing to go through Customs to get to Mil base during the past Klean stream with Shroud and Nikita
Does new player anxiety ever go away? Like I had a good successful raid but I was absolutely paranoid the whole time
Yes
I would expect the first test of that to be Streets > Labs
He always has grenades but he might not always throw them @knotty finch
Knowledge of the map helps with that a ton
@vernal anchor yes
Did posting links get modified permissions?
lol same I'm always on the edge while playing, crouching in bushes waiting for an opening
Here I am with an mp5 and I hear the loudest sniper rifle I've ever heard on customs
But so can playing fast
And I am basically just waiting to get my face blasted at all times lol
On silos there a sniper scav
Nothing wrong with playing reserved
Playing dumb is what gets you killed. Positioning. What directions you are open too.
I think the easiest maps to grasp so far are customs and interchange....factory is just meh cancer?
Factory 5 stack is sexy
Sprinting around corners
Don’t know what you mean 
Lol
How about 10 stacking reserve
👁️
Btw the community here actually seems pretty good surprising sorta with this style of hardcore game.
Good/nice
It’s not toxic here
Yeh for the most part
General is toxic tho
Game is hard. Community likes to help
lmao no
Lol gotcha
i feel like iv learned alot but iv barely scratched the surface
Tbh thats why I like hanging in here. we need a beginner-chat 😄
yeah this is the better chat in this server
Basically this is beginner chat
So as a level 6 pmc...I got really lucky and found a lab keycard but I know good and well I'll get roasted there ..I mean should I just sell it or risk the labs run
Suppose it has its limitations
factory 5 man stack is pretty gay
^
I'd sell it on flea. Right click and Filter by Item. Then sort lowest to highest price.
Price your nears the lower prices
With the boys
Lab keycard
ppl lowball it
@ornate karmakeep it and go explore labs in offline mode. Learn the map. And loot spawns. Then sell it.
you just have 4 usec and 1 bear all swearing
Ah good idea @steady pilot
🤡
i drop mine at 185k and they sell in seconds
I will avoid labs as much as possible
Played labs too much when it came out. Have barely touched it since.
Labs is🤢
Agreed
Real men play customs
if i wanted to find someone to duo with where would i go?
i keep running into geared groups who just steamroll me as a beginner
Real men camp south exfil on interchange for 50mins and let people bring loot to you

last time they just flashed me like 5 times
don’t trust people here ok
Some people told me not to duo with people here cause they to
Tk*
damn its like that?
What
No
No
Then should have reported to a Mod
Yeah
One bad experience doesnt define all
I forgot to say that
Also was it intentional because new teams playing together may have a team kill. I've killed people when we first played together because we didn't have good sync/communication.
damn my social skills and lack of friends
I don't have a mic lmao
its tough out there man
Look you guys can be friends
I died while I was geared and then he just takes my shit and leaves the call
it doesn't work like that @steady pilot
^
thats not really teamkilling now is it sack daddy
@bold kernel not with that attitude
Yeah the thing is
lol iv got free time i will do anything anyone else wants to do
I got damaged while in cover with him then got finished off by killa
i just dont know what im personally doing
yeah that's my issue
people on LFG
expect you to know stuff
people here don't know stuff but expect you to know stuff too
That’s why you look for a chill 2nd

People will play with you from this channel at times depending on their schedule.
^
A lot of the time people are here but aren't at their gaming PC so are just offering advice.
^ Not at work or anything
Also although it may be difficult it is possible to learn the game from trial and error. I started solo and play mostly solo. When I started I learned from streams/youtube videos and using the WIKI but nobody walked me around showing me.
for sure
Might be available in a bit
i never heard of "for sure"
afirmative*
Are you still having no luck @bold kernel ?
Virginia
california and yes
Trust me. I know.
oh
Hate this place.
i'm eu
I’m from Maryland
you'd have like 300 ping probably
Maryland > Virginia
yes
nothing out of the ordinary
@bronze ice wdym no luck
@bold kernel Stop talking with the Americans. 
america rules
lol ok nvm
You weren't doing so great last time I met ya here
and besides its a game with guns so america just makes sense

And we aren't going to let them eat baked beans with breakfast anymore
Does anyone experience fps drops when they scope in? (Granted my CPU is a bit dated i5-4690k)
That shit goes with potato salad and hot dogs
Anyways, I'll pm you when I'm available @bold kernel
agreed
Bro
@ornate karma Yes
That cpu ain’t dated
Even an i5-2400 is considered high mid range
Poor optimizations
Not enough ram
@faint violet I wish I could believe you man but my performance while scoped is horrendous
Really? What's your specs?
Did you make any tweaks?
To your settings?
I get constant 60-90 except when scoped
I5-2400 rx 5604gb 8gb of ddr3 ram at 1333mhz
I then drop to like 30
i have an i7-8700 and i get it
trying to do gunsmith part 9 but the PT lock doesn't fit the AK 😛
Does that actually make a difference?
Right PT lock?
I thought it's cpu bottlenecking not gpu
Does low also lighten up stress on the cpu?
My cpu is barely used
i tried running it low but omg it looks terrible
There are 2 PT lock.
60%*
@bronze ice idk what you mean
Screenshot your settings for me if you don't mind?
i'm still a loser
Make sure you use AKS-74/AKS-74U PT Lock, @robust jackal
Hm even the sliders? Like view distance?
That’s in the middle
For some reason can't paste links now.
this game just runs like ass

alot of times i get frame drops but i dont in any other games
^

dont know what thats about
It’s just this bum ass game
That game really rustles my jimmies I literally threw 60$ down the drain on that one
Tarkov is very picky
that gives me FPS problems
Can't run it at all really
System wise, anyway.
Especially with their recent updates
i have no clue why it won't fit doing exactly what the wiki says same for a video i looked at
Wrong AK
Is there something already there
You need to use the AKS-74N
i need some of them box things
oh
how to get those?
ok
YOu level traders and buy them
System requirements are nonsense nowadays either way.
1 mil rouble from therapist ll2 I think
im having a hard time leveling up
Tasks
it seems getting shot in your face doesnt really help with experience
^
they shot it away
Get good
Positioning
Idk
im trying
Git Gud lel
my dad says im the best
there’s just ammo that will fuck you period
Like I said it's experience. This game takes HOURS and HOURS to get better.
yikes
@robust jackal bro
i need to learn the no no areas
Exactly
so i can do this stupid quest
i got to level 11 in a week but i need lvl 15 real quick
and the quests got harder
im trying to do the one where you take the doc to factory
When you have no friends that play fps games 
The dropping off in factory is kinda luck. Get a good spawn and you can get there by avoiding people and crouch and hope nobody sees you for the 30 seconds.
For meme
😄
It also lists what it does on the picture you posted
Reduces hydration. removes pain...etc
Takes the pin away
@light minnow Ark is fun. But, gets old quick.
Pain
Don't drink it. Sell it on the flea market.

Check therapist price. ...,may be close

If not factor in tax and if it's still more sell on flea
i was so close but two guys fully decked out killed me i blasted him with a shotgun and he just laughted at me
Yeahhhh shotgun not very good unless you get the armor dmg rounds or rip their legs
But prepare yourself to enjoy the hell out of all the shotgun tasks
I find shotguns highly unreliable imo
he had lvl4 so it absorbed all but 7 damage
ok so just ended a raid killed a pmc and after stats says no kills....
Bug for old raid stats
k
to know i have to go back and do it again makes me sob
what are dog tags for?
shot gun is aids
The wise words of Nikita
Tasks, trades, sell to therapist

Dog tags are war trohpies
lol
Or sell to therapist for money or trade for certain items
its kinda weird how one scav will miss every shot and the next will one shot me with insane accuracy
You mean sks scavs
insane
so whats the deal with the gas station on customs
the feels when you merc 10 scavs and the 11th 180's and one taps you from range
Which one
the one with the boss
What about it
It's a boss location
iv never seen scavs there until today
Has a weapon crate, bus has a key spawn, ambulance has Emercon key spawn
They always around
and then a bunch of em jumped me
Or just dead
Locked door has a safe in it
Scav boss is either there or dorms
same...
idk what the spawns are supposed to be but i usually dont see anyone till im across the map
What map
customs
How close is "next to"
like 20 feet
If you spawn near trailerpark then they can spawn up in front by tracks
And another can spawn on crossroads side
also there are some delayed spawns for pmcs by like 1-2min, so you could have been tossed in a little late
so i head on over cause i hear shooting and i dont have the shortcut key
i pop a dude with a vepr twice
where do I go to get a guaranteed scav spawn on Customs? I'm literally on 23/25 kills on Punisher Pt3 and I'm starting to lose braincells, for the past ~15 raids I've only been running into countless PMCs
then i head to his body and look around
all of a sudden a dude pops out of a bush and unloads his mag
@silver quartz Dorms, Construction, Red Warehouse.
Scavs on customs at dorms, storage sheds behind big red, at big red, construction
i ran into cover and shot him twice
@silver quartz there's a sniper scav on top of a warehouse in construction, I believe 100%
@frosty plinth Not 100%
@silver quartz if you wait around 25mins for all players to die or leave
but im out of ammo
Its literally a 100 scavs
good to know ty
so i grabbed his shotgun and popped the last guy
all that and i get sniped right after
fun tho
Welcome to Tarkov.
Of course!
I think I'm finna wait cause when I get in at the start of the raid I either get a bunch of pmc kills and die or just simply get 1-tapped at the beginning lol
But you cant optimize an unfinished game
like as soon as he hit the ground i get sniped
When new code constantly breaks old code
Fair enough I'll hold out on upgrading my hardware for now haha
It's placement @light minnow
There are people with 9th generation i7, 32gb ram, and 2080s that have worse performance than me @ornate karma
You are placing yourself in bad positions if you are getting sniped so quickly or slaughtered as soon as you spawn in and it isn't factory
Only upgrade your system based on your needs
thats the problem with me and customs
the route i have to take from there really bottlenecks my options
Games performance is ok at best, not terrible not good
how do identify player scavs, i jsut got bodied by somone i thought was AI and they shot me in theback after walking staright past me
i was just trying to kill some scavs and the whole server cam after me lol
experience
Just their movement really
Do they have weapon on back
And experiance yeah
Movement
Only way to identify a player scav is how they behave. If you kill them, they will also have a pouch slot
@bold kernel you catch that?
i should have gotten eod so i could get the big container but i didnt know if i would like this game and it aint cheap
You can upgrade at a discount
Well no
Doing tasks will get you the Epsilon container and if do all tasks Kappa
^
wait, AI scavs don't have pouch slots?
Youd only pay 90 for example to eod
Yes @frosty plinth
i got Christmas present to buy gonna have to wait
Boikks
wow, I either kill a lot more human scavs than I thought or just am not paying attention
If you killa raider will it say
Raider name spetnaz
Both make you lose brain cells 

ahh who needs em
I got killed by spetnaz before
And am not sure
If it isnt gluhkars minion
So what do raider kills and deaths say
?
Anyone trying to raid looking to join a group
Idk all the names
me
What does it say when you kill/die to raiders
Spetznaz doesnt sound like a raider
Yeah prolly gluhkars guy
i got killed by someone named pullout

No
Scav names are crazy Russian stuff
Usually two word names in russian
Raiders have single names.
he was hiding behind gas station and he caught me off guard
but he said russian stuff to my body
so i thought he was a scav

so if lets say im lying down in interchange not moving at all cause i dont want to do and i dude runs right up to me and shoots me he cheatin tho right?
no
i mean how could he have possibly known
Not necessarily. He could have walked that way and found you
1 wasnt making any noise
2 was behind an obstacle
3 no reason to go that way it was a dead end
Maybe he was looking around
any way to do this more efficiently?
thermals
maybe he heard you prior to you getting down on the ground
@bold kernel mag boxes?
hmm
Sell mags til u need mags
maybe but he jumped on top of something to shoot me
Pistol cased > mag boxes
no clear line of sight
For easy organizing
@light minnow maybe he had thermals
If you want to separate your mags and label the case then pistol case
He could have watched you walk back there and went to check it out
You can put ammo there too
magbox it is then
he hadnt come into the room yet he was coming up the escalator
bruh
0% chance he saw me
i killed all the scav boss's sidechicks except the scav boss himself... he didnt spawn at all? Why
Pistol case organizing op
!wiki cases
except reshala
Ok...we gave you multiple possible options. Yes I guess cheating was 1. Can't prove either
he didnt spawn
whats a good weapon to buy when your strapped for cash?
hatchet
you have to get skier to lvl 2 right?
@silver dome did you go into the gas station?
Adar
scav run
mostly i bought armor
time for a scav run
there he is :p
scope or nah?
@steady pilot lol u keep posting that screen shot 
@daring ember wonder why
np!
man loves his Veprs
so usually i do 20k for weapon 40k for body armor 20k for helmet but if i die i lose so much money you know
like alot
and i die
alot
insure your stuff
insurance
You arent playing slow enough
guys i have a question do you guys have anti aliasing off or on and if on what settings
does selling items to atrader contribute to (Spent)?
Sometimes not taking a shot is the best move.
how slow are we talkin here
@bold kernel TAA high for me
^
im used to playing aggressive
welll
That's why ya die then
wellllllllllllllllll
Don't sprint
@silver dome yis
@light minnow i was like you a week ago
Ever
iv toned it down alot for this game
u gotta play smart
but i slowly cross map
@light minnow then i realised you had to be like a boomer and do one step every 10 minutes
and thats when i get domed
Heart of Russia
i dont want to quit on this game
@devout sinew go to #521628660298678283 and click the ✅ at the bottom
EFT = Boomer Simulator
but my brain is like bruh
im preparing for later
bot is bugged then I guess
Was bugged for me last week
might be my net
@light minnow just keep doing scav runs, and practice offline
build up a bank that way
how to level up
Or do factory bathrooms
Taskks
scav runs are fun you can really get into the slavic nature
ya but no xp
Tasks and murder
mac, you're trying to rush everything
im only level 11
Escaping
gotta get to 15 so i can lvl up traders
if you're dying over and over again as pmc, practice more as scavs
also quick question if i do skier taks can i lose a lvl
Do tasks. Gets u XP, $ and gear
from the therapist
Fastest way to level
how do i refill my factory exit key uses
boutta try and get this scav out with his op sks wish me luck
gl friend
Good luck!
You can't refill a key
yes you can, factory you can
You have to get a new key
do you guys use optics alot or iron sights on the sks
Yeah factory you can now, you trade it
there's a mission from Jager
Depends
oh...gotcha
or something
where do you get the factory exit key
If i'm using SKS i'd just use a PSO...
i need that so badly
As a scav, I deal with it. As a pmc, I throw a sight on it, sometimes I don't. Though as I'll just use it normally
3 spawns on customs
Find it or buy on flea
Scavs also drop it
oh nice
jackets now too
should i go to labs?
no
Not yet
is that a bad?
when your ready for a fight
Its sweaty
isnt it all
I'd just take the 180-200K you can sell the card for
def
interchange is where you should go to farm cash mac
hahahha literally loaded in and got smoked instantly
Agreed for now
rip
will i find another one if i wanna do it later?
Rip
Yea
Oh yeah
heart of the cards bb
They aren't that rare
Nah
A hero
oof, i just killed a player scav as a player scav. is there a way to ID who is a scav and is not? hard to tell for me on interchange.
2x guns
Nope
good movement
Once dead if he had a pouch then was player scav
well, i guess i should have said, i shot and killed the dude as he was looting. no other scavs around. so i figured it was a player.
Loot = player
then got killed by scavs who came running from the shot.
yeah, but pscav. i dont wanna just kill a pscav to aggro the rest of the ai.
On interchange I like to follow scavs around and go to shots with them
the alternative is he kills u
aka, i wanna make sure i try to reason with other pscavs.
Its kill or be killed
ok i sell it
Sometimes the wiggle works
you convinced me

sometimes, but mostly he just murders u
Sell what @light minnow
btw guys completely off topic but the game awards are tonight 
and i cry every time
Keycard @dawn cargo
lab key
They went up again?
yes
They were 180k last night
Does a 25 point helmet stop a one shot headshot? Im confused as to what you need to stop a one shot head shot
Just put the card for 200k now
someone bought it for 200k
It will sell
WELL, the situation was funny af. i saw this dude. was like ooooo a fresh body. let me loot em, looted the body he was looting. realized wait. wrong body. went to loot his. thats when i realized it was another player.
bruh
they sell super fast 200-210

fucking scammaz dud
best scav run iv had so far
Here is the deal on Helmets @round ridge A good helmet may save your life but the number of times you die wearing a good helmet will far outnumber the times it saves you.
i caved an bought an m4 judge me
i view all loot as offerings to rnjesus
one day the tarkov gods will shine and ill spawn scav with red card.
@light minnow wait wachu do for money? I missed it
@waxen forge not neccisarily
sold a lab keycard
The pscav wiggle works with more experienced players. But newbies will still shoot on sight sometimes
Yes necessarily
for 200k
oh
@waxen forge so basically just wear body armour and if you find a helmet put it on?
idk anything about labs
max hold the m4, don't run it instantly, build up some bankroll first
@waxen forge no lmao. Helmets aren't always bad purchases
Helmets are a money sink
He* didn't say they were always bad purchases though....
Just earn them in raid
Ye that too
I never said it was a bad purchase but if my couple thousand hours I've died wearing good helmets far more times that a helmet has saved me
"Here is the deal on Helmets @round ridge A good helmet may save your life but the number of times you die wearing a good helmet will far outnumber the times it saves you."
@frosty plinth
just buy the steel pot helmet and hope for them ricochets
Gun. Armed rig. Good to go
^
a helmet saved me one time
took a toz shell the the head
and my ears rang but i killed the guy
helmets will save you from pistolings from time to time
Yes helmets can save you from pistols and shot guns
my helmet saved me thrice over 4 raids last night
in the resort
Good luck with any geared player ornthe more common m80
thats fair
Even class 4
if Im just bringing a pistol into interchange should I even wear any armour?
but running customs, most people are running AKs with mid tier ammo which my bnti stopped dead
@round ridge nah
maybe some broken shit you have
@round ridge dont take a pistol take a cheap 13k verpkm with some ps rounds
Usually bodyarmor fails me before helmet does
I'm talking statistics. Run a helmet every raid for 2 days. How many times did you die? How many times did you take a head shot and survive during those 2 days. The Stats will say that you died more times than the helmet saved you....Straight math. \
Way more effective 
pistol backpack interchange
Someone just dumps an entire mag into you and you die anyways
the god strat
@waxen forge you right, but it makes sense for me to use it. It saves my gearset enough to offset the extra loss
delta idolizes on Veprs
Lol

vepr can suck my dick
akms is the same shit buy full auto
mp443 grach pistol good right, thats the one im gonna use
vepr op
^
I usually take a penis or 6b helmet too...just for the chance it may save me. But I also know that I'm more likely to die and the helmet didn't do shit
and if vepr aint ur style
Kappa
hunter op
uh
who needs a gun even just grab a backpack and pray
Full auto is just a nice feature?
auto is only viable with a well modded gun
Bursting is fun
sure
You dont full auto 7x39 aks
bursting is stupid nonviable
That's how you miss every shot and die
just tap fire real quick, more useful

so i was like i need to stop not wearing armor and only bringing a weapon so i bought a bunch of stuff over multiple raids and lost 300k
lvl 3 helmet
Burst fire is viable for me
worth?
yes
epic
Burst fire is even worse
what helmet
so much gone
With how initial recoil is
lvl 3 helmet @faint violet
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
burst fire is the worst way to fire in this game
what helmet
lvl 3 helmet
unless you are bursting something low recoil
the popular one lately
yikes thinking burst is good srry for u bud
11 cps gang
what is good armor for beginners?
paca sucks i think we all know that
Bursts down a hallway
Either you're tapping on single or laying the trigger
it is statistically the worst way to fire
There is no inbetween
i bought the un armor but still got bodied
doesn't matter much @light minnow. Just grab an armored rig or armor level 3 or 4
of course
it doesnt stop every bullet
it just increases your sr
if u burst ur just hurting yourself with the recoil when you can hit more accurately tap firing or full autoing
where do you get lvl 4 armor?
Level 4 armored rigs are the sweet spot for budget runs
imo while learning paca/penis/veprkm
Burst fire doesnt work because of how recoil is in this game
@zealous forge i have 3 of those
ahh i need to get to 15 so i can lvl him
Recoil needs to be overhauled anyway
i'm just wondering about helmet cuz lvl 4 is damn expensive
armor isnt for making you invulnerable but to increase chances. like i died to a mosenling with pretty good gear
and most of them don't support headsets
With the auto compensation
just use penis helm kebab
recoil goes
on target, 3 meters above, 4 meters above, 5 meters above, 5 meters above, 5 meters above, ON TARGET, ON TARGET, ON TARGET, ON TARGET, ON TARGET, ON TARGET, ON TARGET,
You can be wearing Gen 4 and still get killed @light minnow I wouldn't wear anything less than 4 at this point but you can't buy armor from traders yet so it is what it is and will have to pay inflated price on flea.
Soviet Bucket / Penis helmet
Just get a mich 2001 helmet for 500usd
Anyone wanna group up and help me. Can’t win any raids myself

why is it possible to insure your alpha container, doesnt that do nothing anywayas cuz you always keep the shit inside it
Lul
ric
penis helm/ paca body/ veprkm weapon, and ur set
@hexed moon You may want to do #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can see the whole discord
paca?
@round ridge fun
ye
just get armored rig
armor is mainly for scavs
Aight I give up on this chat rn
not pmcs

Too much goin on
sorry veprkm man
Don't use paca unless your like lvl 1
but the pistol is blessed
@devout sinew #news-setup #521628660298678283
^
veprkm is the same price as pistol
i hit the checkmark its just broken
but like, fires 7.5x39
Then @ a MOD
@devout sinew fiddle with the check mark
what pistol should i go with?
is there a good one?
@vernal anchor
And restart discord @devout sinew
help @devout sinew
welcom
it aint working
Back to helmets. ..Never wear Fireman or Motorcycle helmet. If you scav with one drop it on the floor
level 2 helmets are never worth
Gotcha
❤️

i recommend mako for mod of the day

word
level 2 armor in general is
iffy at best
are there even level 2 bodies

cant remember
Paca



fuck im dead

what a madman
Exfil camper on factory who would have guessed
brainlet*
this boy living in 2030
didn't hear me
lol
i felt bad last night... as i was squeezing a (missing) mosin round at a scav, he did a head wiggle.
so lets say you get sniped from a player immediately
@dense pine ive done that too lmao
and you wanna go back
wdym
do you just wait to heal?
Go back?
huh?
@light minnow go scav
no
use your scav run and if ur still lit buy some cheese
the worst part is that my scav brother and I ran into a scav duo in the interchange 10 minutes earlier and had a waggle fest
ya so i wanna get experience so i can level up the traders
Or scav while you wait
but players are sniping me all day
glad i missed lol
welcome to tarkov
i just spawned blame the game
