[split vapor]

playing the game normaly

[empty steppe]

how so?

[final mica]

kill people

loot shit

bang

[split vapor]

kill shit

loot their shit

leave to extract over weight

kinda easy

[empty steppe]

overweight, i see

[final mica]

don't be a fucking loot goblin and leave before getting too greedy

pretty easy

[barren kiln]

When should i think about buying scav junk boxes?

[split vapor]

you hording hideout shit

[barren kiln]

No

im tryna make a living

[split vapor]

the no

save the 1.5

[barren kiln]

1.5 mil

oke nvm

i thought it was like 400-500k

[split vapor]

ha

nah fam

[barren kiln]

How much is a keytool btw

[split vapor]

ther sells them for 1.2m, the box

[barren kiln]

k

[split vapor]

keybar shouldnt be that much

[barren kiln]

I need to learn how to survive as a pmc aswell because all my good runs are as a fking scav

[final mica]

keytool last i checked was like 500-600k rub

[barren kiln]

damn

its just a ring tarkov

damn

[bold kernel]

i suggest you check old gas station for that spawn

[final mica]

when you get money it get's easy to buy things

[bold kernel]

in customs

[barren kiln]

Ty

i just dunno if i should go in geared or just pistol when looting customs

[bold kernel]

depends

[final mica]

it's up too you

[barren kiln]

with geared i just mean anything that aint a pistol

[final mica]

going in without a paca and an ssh isn't the smartest thing to do though

[bold kernel]

like if your doing tasks go with less

try getting lower half masks they trade for pacca

3 i think

use that

[barren kiln]

okay

[final mica]

tbh you should probably take a paca body armor and an ssh with a pistol you wouldn't mind dying with if you don't want to take in your normal gear

[bold kernel]

also those knives 207 bar ones also trade for mp5 black trade for pistol so do runs save up those and use that

[final mica]

so you can least kill and take some scav shots

[barren kiln]

Yeah i was saving the knives

i think i got almost enough rn

[bold kernel]

i prefer using sks

[barren kiln]

my stash is so full tho

its insane

[bold kernel]

no rig or anything needed

[final mica]

if it's full sell shit and buy throwaway gear

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bold kernel]

save up what you need

sell what you can buy later

[barren kiln]

Thats the problem @bold kernel everything in tarkov nowadays is needed lmao

[bold kernel]

that makes the game interesting i feel

like in real life

[barren kiln]

Yeah but it makes it a lot harder to loot for newbs

[final mica]

are you actively trying to upgrade your stash and do quests?

[barren kiln]

since i dont know what to take

I try to do quests

[bold kernel]

as new you just focus on money i feel

[barren kiln]

its pretty hard for me tho

so i just take scav runs and get some loot with it

[bold kernel]

you should also focus on lvling up pmc

[final mica]

just don't get so focused on the future that you clog up your inventory with shit you can't use until way late game

[bold kernel]

more weebs

like skills and all

the point is getting good loot and enjoying the game

[final mica]

you'll get that shit again

[rocky ocean]

So far i only use pm + 2 mags and some bullets nothing else except meds in alpha container :o trying to get everything else on side

[bold kernel]

try sks and bullets its better

remove rear sight hto

more range

no mags

and super cheap

if you want you can get 20 round mag too

[final mica]

pretty sure most guns require "bullets"

[rocky ocean]

I have a sks and a reddot that fits

[bold kernel]

i would suggest mosin but new people wont like it

[bleak mortar]

Hello there! I'm new to the discord (and the game as well) and I would like to know if there is any server where ppl can form groups to raid together.

[bold kernel]

like i suggested 7.62 cuz ps is cheap and good

[rocky ocean]

Is mosin expensive?

[bold kernel]

30ik

[split vapor]

Mosin bad

Get sv98

[bold kernel]

30k i think*

[final mica]

: ( mosin is great

just challenged

[bold kernel]

like sv98 is not available with lvl 1 traders i think

[final mica]

it is super not

lol

[bold kernel]

like i say use mosin till you can get adar or hunter

[rocky ocean]

Yea its not available for me

[bold kernel]

then use that

best

[final mica]

base lvl 1 traders sell poop guns : )

[barren kiln]

@bold kernel i spawned as a mosin scav and i got like 6 scav kills on customs

probably not good for most

but was my best run

Then i realised that prapor kill scav quest was for pmc only 😦

[final mica]

mosin is large dmg but it doesn't shoot vary fast so it's bad

[barren kiln]

1 tap liked to argue

[bold kernel]

it does actually

[bleak mortar]

@bold kernel is ADAR-12 better than AK?

[final mica]

almost all quests are for pmcs

[bold kernel]

its equal to sniper but had bad sights

[split vapor]

Sv98 and 7n1 say hello

[final mica]

you can maybe find some things on scavs that count but that's about it

7n1 is best for shooting scavs imo

i hit scavs with snb and they just flip me off :/

[split vapor]

Because snb is shit

[bold kernel]

base ammo is enough

save snb for labs or something

[final mica]

i mean for flesh yeah

[split vapor]

Snb doesn’t one tap chest. Unless you get the super rare frag

[final mica]

snb on paper chad

[split vapor]

Use is trash

[final mica]

but in reality it's not

[bold kernel]

if you want a gun for newbies try tt

tt is fin

fun*

much better then pm and bullets do more damage too

[final mica]

for tt? pretty sure it's just pmm and unless you can face tap someone or you're shooting at scavs kinda tough

[barren kiln]

what is best way to farm scavs at customs?

as a newb pmc

[potent atlas]

@barren kiln construction kill sniper scav, red warehouse area 2-3 scavs, and then just wander around.

[barren kiln]

is there a way to loot sniper scav

[final mica]

nope

[bold kernel]

late timer there are many near military checkpoint

[barren kiln]

i have killed him as a scav sometimes

damnit

[bold kernel]

if their body falls down then yea

you have to be lucky

[barren kiln]

that doesnt happen often right

[bold kernel]

i have looted svds and opsks from them some times

yea doesnt happen much

[split vapor]

Depends on which sniper scav

[barren kiln]

the contrustion one

[split vapor]

Obliviously the one on the silo is a no

You can get the roof top ones to fall and or walk off

[barren kiln]

how could you get them to fall

can you manipulate it

or do you need to have luck

[split vapor]

Typically when they agro on you when you directly under them

[bold kernel]

you can try to shoot legs and wait till they are near edge

not sure tho

[barren kiln]

Okay

so if u agro then go under him then he commits suicide :p

[brisk sail]

whats the best ammo for five seven?

[final mica]

5.7x28 mm L191

[potent atlas]

!ammo

[tribal robin]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[final mica]

least i'm pretty sure there is a ballistics table

yeah that

[strange mural]

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

[bold kernel]

guys where does old road gate coem in customs?

[gray mountain]

not sure

[chrome swallow]

Search for a map online, but all i remember is its behind dorms or around it

[waxen forge]

It's the car exfil behind dorms

Not a paid exfil as a scav

So in this case it's just the gate

[brisk sail]

i killed a guy with this how much should i put it up for?

[strange mural]

break it to parts

[waxen forge]

Disassemble all. Sell majority to skier and rest to Mechanic

[strange mural]

selling modded weapons is a mess

[brisk sail]

oo

[waxen forge]

Maybe suppressor on flea but rest to Traders

[brisk sail]

smart

[strange mural]

not gonna be mega expensive on flea iirc
but check flea

if htere is a huge difference sell there

[waxen forge]

And only if flea price for suppressor beats Skier's price

[strange mural]

otherwise skier>mechanic

[brisk sail]

im might just giver it mechaNIC so i can reach one mill with him

[strange mural]

if theres a big difference in what they give

like more than

1/3

just trade to skier

[brisk sail]

but i need to level up mechanic lvl 2

[waxen forge]

You'll lose out selling all to mechanic but I get the need to level the "spent" part.

You can always just do it slowly. Should be breaking weapons down and selling to Skier>Mechanic all the time.

Not on flea

[strange mural]

you just save like

so much time dissasembling and selling to traders

and you dont lose much money

[waxen forge]

May lose no money really.

[bold kernel]

you can just right click and disassemble now

and you lose if you sell to one trader

sell weapon to mechanic and all blue background to skeeter or someone

trust me you save like 2-3 k

[waxen forge]

Skier>Mechanic

Just go Skier first then mechanic don't have to worry about color

[bold kernel]

no i meant color cuz those are attachments

they are worth more

sell what you can to skier and rest to mechanic

and you even get more sell money if you are lvling up traders if you disassemble

[waxen forge]

I get it but if you just go to Skier and sell everything he will buy then rest to Mechanic it's an easier way to explain it than telling someone to look for a color. Can get confusing.

[bold kernel]

they also learn that way

there is handbook for that

if they learn now its easier down the like

line*

[brisk sail]

i sold all of it i could to skier

[bold kernel]

good

[waxen forge]

Exactly so I said Skier Mechanic

Simple

As everyone else says

[brisk sail]

87k

[waxen forge]

No color aspect nee;ded

[bold kernel]

you can sell to prapor if you want to lvl up

that also matters

i just said color so they can decide to pick up or not in raid

[brisk sail]

bro the five seven is so underated

[bold kernel]

like things lay around here and there so deciding if you want to pick it up or not also matters

looting weapon parts is more money then loot at times

thats why i mentioned it

[brisk sail]

is running just five seven good?

[strange mural]

five seven is not underrated

[solemn pike]

What map?

[strange mural]

its by far the best pistol

kek

[solemn pike]

Five Seven is beast.

[brisk sail]

interchange

[solemn pike]

Yeah dude definitely.

[brisk sail]

im been using it lately

[strange mural]

but no real reason to just run a pistol

[brisk sail]

its what i killed him with

there is

[solemn pike]

Im gonna do that now, Five Seven, biggest backpack I can get and interchange.

[strange mural]

when most rifles cost less than a five seven

[brisk sail]

i killed him and took both his weapons

[strange mural]

far less

[brisk sail]

you have room for 2 extra weapons

[solemn pike]

Whats the best noob friendly loadout for Interchange?

[strange mural]

you can just drop your initial weapon

its insured

lol

[brisk sail]

yeah but you make more moeny

dont have to drop anything tho

[strange mural]

no you dont?

[brisk sail]

yes

pay for insureance

[strange mural]

if you can drop your insurance where you want it will always come back

you always insure everything anyway

[bold kernel]

in interchange i would suggest a flashlight

[strange mural]

and a guns insurance is less than the price difference between a rifle and 5-7

[bold kernel]

there are loot spawns in the back where most people dont even go

[brisk sail]

oli is soo good in intercahnge

and not many peiople go there

every1 jus tgoes kiba and tech stores

[waxen forge]

You don't need a flashlight to find that stuff though and a flashlight is a big "shoot here" sign

[bold kernel]

also if you feel like you going to die and have no ammo just put the piston in secure case

[strange mural]

cant anymore

[mystic pasture]

^

[bold kernel]

dude flash light you can use inside the stores

dont keep it on

[waxen forge]

Dude don't need it

[strange mural]

you really really dont want to use one

[waxen forge]

Can see stuff fine

[strange mural]

its a kill marker

[bold kernel]

behind oli you get nice loot

[brisk sail]

just turn gamma up

[bold kernel]

in goshan also

[strange mural]

but yeah

just run a verpkm instead

[brisk sail]

i like the iron sights better on five seven

[bold kernel]

like just use laser flash light combo if you are using pistol as back up not that bad

[round ridge]

Omg it’s killer bean

[strange mural]

you can put any sight on vepr for like

5k

[bold kernel]

yea 5-7 has night sights default

[strange mural]

and you can loot sights in raid too

well even with a bastion vepr is still cheaper than a 5-7

[waxen forge]

I never bring a backup weapon. 1 weapon. It's not faster to switch to pistol in EFT and 9mm blows anyway.

I do run lasers for the hip fire buff.

Flashlight never

[brisk sail]

im just gonna keep using five seven

[gray mountain]

mfw I spawn with ak74 with PS ammo and load 7 bullets into a guy and only does 124 dmg

[brisk sail]

you can run faster

[strange mural]

not anymore

[waxen forge]

So

[brisk sail]

goood for running straight to oli and out

really

[waxen forge]

Sure

[brisk sail]

so you run that same speed as a guy with ak

[strange mural]

only having no weapon is faster now afaik

[waxen forge]

Either way I don't run in and out so never a consideration

[brisk sail]

damm that sucks

[round ridge]

Is your movement speed impacted by which weapon you are holding? Like holding knife is faster than if you were to hold your ak

[brisk sail]

is it like csgo?

[waxen forge]

Used to be pistol was fastest

Not sure if it's been changed and if so to what.

Wouldn't worry too much about it.

They are probably trying to balance it to kill off the hatchet running

[strange mural]

ive heard it has because of the pistol abuse

[brisk sail]

are ear phones worth using?

[round ridge]

What’s hatchet running

[strange mural]

yes

headphones are more important than armor for me lmao

[brisk sail]

even tho it lowers your sound

[waxen forge]

Going in with just your melee weapon. Trying to find something valuable and stick it up your ass then D/c

[strange mural]

bean what

that just makes them even better???

it lessens your sounds

[brisk sail]

like foot steps

[strange mural]

increases quiet sounds

like enemy footsteps

[brisk sail]

wat

[waxen forge]

Which is why Nikita wants to make it so you can't put a lot of things in container during raid. Only take out.

[brisk sail]

it increases

[round ridge]

Wait you D/C?

[strange mural]

they just increase your hearing

lmao

[brisk sail]

o

i thought it was oppiste

[strange mural]

why would it be

they are active headphones

lessen your own gunfire and footsteps

increase other quiet sounds like

[brisk sail]

i thought they werer like the things you were if you were to go to a monster truck thjing

[strange mural]

ruski and footsteps

[brisk sail]

so you dont lose your hearing

[round ridge]

Lmaoo

[brisk sail]

welp that ssukcs

i sold so many of them thinking it was that

[strange mural]

nobody would use them if they were like that

[brisk sail]

ahahaha

[round ridge]

You’re gonna get earraped so be prepared

[strange mural]

people complaining about hearing shit too clearly when it just saves your life

[brisk sail]

is camping op?

[round ridge]

How do I know what helmets I can wear with headphones

[strange mural]

well they have earcup places

[round ridge]

Like open sides?

[brisk sail]

likke should i be watching angles for a long times to see if somone comes around

[strange mural]

there is no real camping though

[round ridge]

Exfil camping 🏕

[strange mural]

if somebody ambushes you its on you for not checking corners

or getting lax before the raid is over

[brisk sail]

like lets say i hear somone

should i just camp a angle

to see if he comes around?

[waxen forge]

Yea

[strange mural]

yeah?

why not

lmao

[waxen forge]

It's tactically smart

[strange mural]

do you want to intentionally die

[brisk sail]

i mean

if it makes the game more fun then yeah

[warm rover]

Why every time i start tarkov it crashes on the first launch, but the second time it's ok ?

Any of you experiencing that ?

[thin moon]

yeah

[round ridge]

No

[strange mural]

#community-support

they prolly know more

[warm rover]

ah wrong chat, sorry

[strange mural]

no u

[waxen forge]

@brisk sail If this were COD and you lost nothing upon death then running and gunning has no real penalty. Here you can lose a lot on death. Playing smart is just smart. There is not "camping" that is bad here except the Douchebags who exfil camp

[brisk sail]

how can i avoid that happenming to me

some1 hearing me and just camping a corner

[round ridge]

Check all your corners

[upper sky]

is 556x45 (ADAR) or 762x39 (VEPR/SKS) better for tap fire?

[brisk sail]

but wouldnt they still have the adventaghe

[small perch]

Try to move slowy on a different location where you could peak a corner @brisk sail or grenades are really good at that moment

[round ridge]

I like jiggle peaking

Bait out shots with jiggle

And then you can get an idea from there

[gray mountain]

@upper sky A modded ADAR and VEPR beats SKS by a longshot

[tepid matrix]

What i do is that i usually just crouch-walk through buildings

[gray mountain]

VEPR is cheaper to mod

[brisk sail]

lets say somone is at a corner and i know hes there and im gonna peak to shoot at him

should i do that slowly

like go around the corner slowly

[strange mural]

depends on the situation

[gray mountain]

Just make sure its the VEPR KM

not the VEPR 209

[strange mural]

if you go slowly you are most likely dead

but yeah veprkm

https://i.imgur.com/Yf74vLf.png

25k

scope and all

[gray mountain]

Or VEPR hunter

[strange mural]

and its a expensive scope

[upper sky]

@gray mountain gotcha. does one have an advantage in ammo?

[strange mural]

yes

one doesnt have any useable ammo

[gray mountain]

VEPR KM has cheap reliable ammo

[strange mural]

.366 is non existant

[gray mountain]

Use the PS ammo

[round ridge]

If you know someone is there you should just peak fast

[brisk sail]

does five seven have good ammo if so what is the best?

[gray mountain]

7.62x39 PS

[strange mural]

if they know you are there

dont peak.

[upper sky]

so i should go VEPR instead of ADAR to tap fire?

[gray mountain]

I think so yes

[strange mural]

depends on preferrance

veprkm is cheaper yes

but completely difrent ammos

and modding

[round ridge]

Adar is fun

[gray mountain]

ye

[knotty finch]

val is very deadly right

[upper sky]

i've tried ADAR, but thinking of cheap VPR build to try

[strange mural]

get a veprkm

get a tt01

you can mount any sight

[mystic pasture]

The VeprKm is good, and you almost always get it back

Hence why my inventory looks like this

[waxen forge]

You guys should listed to the @strange mural Dude came in a few weeks ago green as the grass now he's working on his EFT Ph.D.

[strange mural]

yeah and you can just throw it away after using it

ive sucked up

every bit of information this chat has had in the last two weeks

[waxen forge]

With EFT it's all about the effort

[knotty finch]

hey ignis what mods are those

[mystic pasture]

Uh one sec

[brisk sail]

canyou hold your breath in this game

[knotty finch]

ya

[upper sky]

yes

[strange mural]

yes

and you pretty much always should

its alt by default recently

people rebind to shift

a lot

[brisk sail]

when i press it when leaning

it dosent allow you

[strange mural]

yeah it may conflict with your slow lean settings

but as long as you are aiming it should work

also rebinding the peeks is
pretty big brain

[upper sky]

i need to rebind because of that reason as well

[brisk sail]

so shift on contunis?

or press

[mystic pasture]

@knotty finch
Ak-100 Seried Grip
Tapco SAW Grip
Zenit RK-0 Foregrip
Izmash Polymer Stock (Black One)

[strange mural]

continous

also peeks are much better as press

[mystic pasture]

But I started with the stock and the grip and just put stuff I found in raids on it if fit tbh

[knotty finch]

ty

[brisk sail]

what did you set sprint to then

[strange mural]

caps, alt

whatever you prefer

try them out

im still on alt

because i rebound everything else

[plucky oriole]

^im working on it too

my bad wrong thing

[brisk sail]

Are side steps good?

[strange mural]

as in sidestepping in combat ?

[brisk sail]

yea

[strange mural]

well

cover is far more important

but yeah if you are getting shot serpent run works to dodge fire

[grave helm]

Question is there a reason I cant extract? Im at zb-1011

[strange mural]

did you go down to the bunker?

have you checked your extracts?

you can see them when you double tap o

[grave helm]

ahh

thank you!

[strange mural]

usually you can only use extracts on the other side of the map you spawned at

to force you to move through the map

[grave helm]

another question what does a red extract point mean?

[strange mural]

its quite

buggy apparently

but its supposed to mean it has been used recently

thats the theory anyway

[faint violet]

hmmm

[grave helm]

FLMKASIUHJDASOIHJUASD fml I died

[round ridge]

f

[plucky oriole]

Im beginning to like the mosin c:

[grave helm]

I fighted 3ppl got a lot of loot when I start with a pistol and then got rekt by a Scav cause I was so low in health

[supple oak]

hey any1 wants to play with me im a complete begginer

[compact basin]

@supple oak Do #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can see the whole discord 🙂

[brisk sail]

waht is the point for having a system were you have to wait ages for your pmc to heal?

is it to stop you form going back into same game?

[compact basin]

You don't have to wait, you can heal off-raid.

[brisk sail]

but that cost money

[rocky ocean]

You can do scav > pmc > scav

[brisk sail]

not if you die pretty quick

[rocky ocean]

Thats what im doing to get the most out of it

[compact basin]

So the point is that you learn not to die quick 😉

[rocky ocean]

For now

[ember oak]

best tip for any beginner is, sell everything you get and buy hunters

[supple oak]

nihil i di9d that but where do i put my region and stuff

[rocky ocean]

Hunters?

[ember oak]

yeah

its stupid good for only beeing 30k

[rocky ocean]

I kept everything trying to do minimalistic runs only pistol for example

[ember oak]

thats bad

[rocky ocean]

My inventory is full 😂

[ember oak]

yes

thats why

[compact basin]

@supple oak its in #news-setup

[ember oak]

i sell allmost everything

[rocky ocean]

But i feel like if i take alot of stuff that its easier to lose everything at once because of inexperience

[ember oak]

well if you sell everything and just run hunters you get allmost all of them back on insurance and they are only 30k

[rocky ocean]

Is it a sign of gear fear developing? 🤔

[ember oak]

if you hoard

yes

[brisk mortar]

[rocky ocean]

I hoarded some weapons 2 aks 2 aksus 2 shotguns a mp for example not using any of them

[ember oak]

sell them

[brisk mortar]

That's why I always take the Hunters.

[rocky ocean]

Instead going with pm + 2 mags

[ember oak]

i have dropped 3man and 4man fully geared squads with 1 mag of hunter

the 10 bullet one

[brisk sail]

thats you being good

[ember oak]

like 400k on the weapon geared

[brisk sail]

and them being bad

[rocky ocean]

Is the gun called hunter or do you mean a hunting rifle?

[brisk mortar]

PMs can't pen any sort of decent armor though.

[ember oak]

@brisk sail its the hunter

would never happen with a mosin

takes too long to shoot

[rocky ocean]

@brisk mortar i experienced that yesterday

I shot a aksu mag 30 bullets + 6 shotgun rounds on a pmc he survived and killed me

[ember oak]

buy hunters

on market

[brisk mortar]

So did I, I mag-dumpped a guys head with a Kedr but his helmet took half the mag. Then he turned around and shot me.

[waxen forge]

No best gun. Use good ammo.

[brisk sail]

what are euros for

[ember oak]

well there is a big difference between a hunter and a mosin tho

[brisk mortar]

@lapis shale
To start, the Vepr KM is pretty solid.

[rocky ocean]

Ok i will sell all pistols + mags + ammo and start using rifles for the next runs

[ember oak]

the firerate is such a big advantage over mosin

[brisk mortar]

Mosin is more accurate at range.

[waxen forge]

You use euro to buy icase and some stuff.

Also need some for a task.

[ember oak]

@brisk mortar true, but i mean you wont be fighting at that long range usually

[supple oak]

So hi any1 wants to play as a scav with a complete begginer and teach a bir

[waxen forge]

#521628660298678283 #news-setup

[brisk mortar]

Normally no, but I tend to favor fighting at 150m+ and try to do my best to keep it that way.

[waxen forge]

So you can see all of discord

[brisk mortar]

I actually tapped a guy all the way at Scav Lands extract from Dome the other day.

[gray mountain]

🤔

[brisk mortar]

Crisp 337m

[plucky oriole]

Does anyone know how to get access to the pumping station in factory?

[ember oak]

the only thing bad about hunter is you cant mod it

only a scope

[brisk mortar]

Was using a TX though

[waxen forge]

Need key.

[gray mountain]

There is a key @plucky oriole

[waxen forge]

Nothing much in there though

[ember oak]

and allso beginner tip, m4 is overrated

[plucky oriole]

Anyone wanna run it? Kinda just need to get in there for therapist

[violet ocean]

need doing prapor missions (delivery from the past rn) if anyone wants to do quests with me

[ember oak]

dont buy them

[waxen forge]

For gas analyzer

[faint violet]

Tx-15 looks sexy

But the m4 is cheaper

[ember oak]

just tap with adar

fast

ez

[faint violet]

Or full auto with m4 with same result

[worldly tangle]

whats the best and cheapest adar preset

[ember oak]

but more money

[faint violet]

💦💦

[waxen forge]

@plucky oriole dont bother with pumping station looking for gas analyzer. They aren't too common in there. Just run interchange tech stores.

[plucky oriole]

Doesnt give any more influence?

@waxen forge

[waxen forge]

It'

It's an optional step

Similar to getting into the bunker on woods for the 60 round AK mags for the ice cream task.

Can you find gas in there? Yea occasionally. Can you find them often enough to justify running factory and being exposed while you stand there unlocking the door? Nope.

[faint violet]

I’m not picking up what you’re putting down

[plucky oriole]

I need to go to dorm to find a bronze pocket watch

[faint violet]

What

It’s in pvp zone

Not in dorms

It’s where the orange fuel tanker is

Let me pull it up on a map for you

[plucky oriole]

Dont really know the maps that well. All i know is that the description says dorm.

[faint violet]

no

It’s not in dorms

Hold up ok

[strange mural]

wiki has the maps for it

😉

[faint violet]

But here

Mad marking

Bad marking*

I’m on mobile

[mystic pasture]

They key to open the truck spawns in dorms

@plucky oriole

but you can buy it

[faint violet]

Machinery key is common af

[plucky oriole]

I was gona ask if anyone wanted to run it after i buythe key

[faint violet]

at 14:00 I can run it

[plucky oriole]

@faint violet Hope you dont mind me bringing a shitty mosin

[faint violet]

what time is it for you

Or what time zone

It’s 08:12 rn for me

[plucky oriole]

US

It says 11:31

[faint violet]

oof

You in the future

[plucky oriole]

I could have warned people about all the bad things in the world

[faint violet]

yep

You bastard

[plucky oriole]

y u no use alpha container

[waxen forge]

You cannot reload weapon from mags in backpack

Also sell the shitty map to Therapist

Mags must be in pockets or a tac rig/vest.

[plucky oriole]

^i get that a lot

[waxen forge]

Need to keep 1 slot open in tac rig or pockets the same size as your biggest mag or you will drop a mag when reloading.

Put your alpha on your body and never take it off

It's safe container. What is inside it will not be taken even if you die

[plucky oriole]

People cant take stuff form it

[waxen forge]

Your safe container and Melee weapon cannot be looted by other people

Not back. If you die what is inside it at the time of your death is still inside it

[strange mural]

its basically a constant

[gray mountain]

Basically no reason to not use your alpha container

Put your valuables that you either need in raid for find in raid

[waxen forge]

NO

[gray mountain]

You dont need to insure it

[waxen forge]

You do not have to insure what is it it

[gray mountain]

as long as its in the container

[waxen forge]

It is safe. Whatever is in it stays in it

[gray mountain]

it comes back instantly

BUT

it has to be in your pouch spot

cant be in your bags

or whatever

[waxen forge]

If you put 5 bandages in it and die as soon as you get back to stash the bandages are still in it

[round ridge]

is SA 58 worth keeping

the fal

[waxen forge]

If you want to use it

If not sell it

It's a good weapon

[round ridge]

well i did scav run and cant really fit it

[waxen forge]

If you use good ammo

Then sell it

Also before you go scav (if your stash is full) put as much stuff on your body as possible to free up space in stash so you can offload scav loot

[gray mountain]

@lapis shale

And never move it from there

[bold kernel]

Cute noob. Reminds me of myself 5 days ago :)

[round ridge]

oof ok

[faint violet]

ok boomer

[plucky oriole]

Whats pocket watch key called?

Depends.

[faint violet]

@lapis shale

Sometimes

You can get 100k

Sometimes 500k

Other times you get nothing because your asshole teammate shoots you in the back of the head

Just

don’t kill other scavs they won’t shoot you if they wiggle at you shoot

Take this as a chance to learn extracts as well

[solemn thunder]

ohh its pretty active in here too 😄

and yeah, scavving is good to learn the game in general without too much risk ^^

[inner basalt]

Hows it goin folks

[faint violet]

If they shoot

Shoot back with better accuracy

Sup dude

[inner basalt]

not much, trying to figure out what i wanna do right now haha

in a tarkov lul

[faint violet]

In school so I can only give advice

[inner basalt]

oh rog, i am just on those like., super long quests haha

shooter born in heaven and the like

[faint violet]

oh

I hate tasks

That’s why my friend is catching up to em

Me*

[rocky ocean]

I go with offline mode to learn the maps > scav runs > if you are confident with map knowledge > pmc

[silver dome]

does this mean i have killed 218 people

?

[inner basalt]

your stats page will tell you how many pmcs

[waxen forge]

If dog tag them PMC

In no tag but Pouch space them Player scav

If none of that then scav

[steady pilot]

[frank beacon]

no

[waxen forge]

If he shot first but didn't hit you then killing a scav will agro other scavs

In that area

[strange mural]

i just

got

fucked so hard

by so many scavs

its actually funny

[rocky ocean]

Are you pmc?

[strange mural]

nah

i was just tagged hostile

i killed my friend

lmao

[rocky ocean]

Lol

😂 😂

[strange mural]

he got stuck

and wanted fast release

it was actually so fucked

i got outrun by like six scavs

our of fucking NOWHERE

[rocky ocean]

Which lvl are you guys?

[strange mural]

im 23

[rocky ocean]

Dang

[strange mural]

but i have like a million tasks i could complete

[rocky ocean]

I lvl up to lvl4 :D its something

[strange mural]

i just cant take it

that was way too fucking funny

stuck between shelves

like perma stuck

[rocky ocean]

Xdddd

[steady pilot]

[strange mural]

delta let me turn this to on topic

kids, stay in fucking cover

until you clear your zones

dont move up carelessly

[steady pilot]

[severe finch]

Sometimes you gotta love spanning in on factory as a scav and just as soon as you pop into existence you get shot in the head XD

[chrome swallow]

A week ago i killed a guy on factory who was geared af armour wise, level 10 or so but had zabralo and lzhhbtjn whatever level 4 helmet with faceshield, should i use his gear on interchange or what? Im confused on where to go. I need to go to customs for delivery but ill probably get one tapped if i do, interchange i dont really know and i would just die because of it, so factory and customs im most comfy with. Thoughts?

(I have 7 adars to fuck around with)

[steady pilot]

@lapis shale look up the the extracts on the wiki

[chrome swallow]

Im very entrained on doing my 3 delivery quests on customs: mechanics graphics cards, prapors case and skiers package

But idk if i should risk zabralo armour for it

[waxen forge]

Ruined road to the left.

[steady pilot]

@chrome swallowiff you want to get good at the game you have to accept risks for using better gear. Yes you might lose it. But it also might save you cause it's better. It's really just dependent on you playing smart. You're going to die and lose good gear no matter what, everyone does. Think of this way, if you dont use it you already lost it

[chrome swallow]

Good point

[rocky ocean]

Golden Advice right there

[chrome swallow]

This next question is probably just preference as both are not compatible with earpieces, but is the helmet with aventail better than the Zsh2m

Prapor until you unlock mechanic

[frank beacon]

why is your alpha container in your stash?

[rocky ocean]

you have to unlock mechanic?

[chrome swallow]

Wait

Lmao

[rocky ocean]

i had him right away i think

jaeger is the one locked

[chrome swallow]

I just realized what i said yeah

Oof

Also @lapis shale stack your stuff chief

[waxen forge]

We had the alpha container discussion an hour ago.

[frank beacon]

your container is right there in your stash?

[waxen forge]

Didn't take.

[strange mural]

you may need to scroll down in your equips to see it

[steady pilot]

[strange mural]

you always have your container on ya

[waxen forge]

Dude we told u all of this an hour ago

[steady pilot]

[strange mural]

isnt your alpha equpped when you sta-

oh it isnt yeah

[frank beacon]

yes it is?

isnt it?

[chrome swallow]

Wasnt for me

[steady pilot]

I was pretty sure it came equipped

[solemn pike]

Is anyone here available to help a duo run Interchange?

[frank beacon]

[steady pilot]

@solemn pike #pvp-lfg

[chrome swallow]

I had to equip it but i knew that i had to because the friend who got me in the game explained most of the basics to me, he owns eod

[strange mural]

even as eod dont you start as alpha equipped?

[steady pilot]

What

No

[frank beacon]

?

[strange mural]

[frank beacon]

lmao

[steady pilot]

We start with just a gamma

[frail forum]

so pressing left click as i'm reloading a shotgun should stop the reload animation right?

[strange mural]

i thought you just had a new one in your inventory

when you started

alongside the other shite

[steady pilot]

We don't get alpha and gamma

[frank beacon]

yes spam left click

[strange mural]

alright

my first wipe so dun kno

[steady pilot]

Yeh all good

[frail forum]

"spam" or one click should do it? xd

[steady pilot]

@frail forum it should

[frank beacon]

sometimes it doesnt

for me

[steady pilot]

I suggest spamming

[frail forum]

yeah that mightve happened to me just now then

nice

[frank beacon]

left click to stop healing.

[rocky ocean]

any advice on my inventory? i think i can sell most of it

im lvl 4

[marble blade]

too many guns

[strange mural]

take off pistol grips and mags

[steady pilot]

Uhh sell the shotguns, splints, pistols, bandages, ak74us,

[rocky ocean]

i wanted to sell all the pistols mags and ammo now

[steady pilot]

Yes get rid of it

You can buy cars to heal

[strange mural]

no

[frank beacon]

sell that toz
put the armor on

[strange mural]

therapist>skier>mechanic

dissasemble guns for more profit

[steady pilot]

Market >therapist >skier >mechanic>

Just follow the path

[waxen forge]

He means if market price (reasonable price) plus tax is more

Not highest price listed but lowest.

[rocky ocean]

thanks alot guys!!! ❤️

[steady pilot]

@rocky oceanwhen you hit lvl 5 you can just buy veprkms for like 13k and some PS rounds

Better than taking ineffective 9mm pistols

[rocky ocean]

is the car aid also curing fractions?

[steady pilot]

@rocky ocean no

[waxen forge]

No

[steady pilot]

You may need a splint, I just buy the alu splint off market that has 5 uses

[rocky ocean]

ahhh

[steady pilot]

Grizzly also heals fracures

[rocky ocean]

because you guys recommended me to sell all the splints

[steady pilot]

Lmao

That was me

[waxen forge]

If in raid you do not have a splint pain meds let u walk full speed if leg fractured

[steady pilot]

I meant bandages

[strange mural]

i mean

just buy em as you use em

[rocky ocean]

so using cars to combine bandages + AI-2?

[strange mural]

yes

[rocky ocean]

got it i have a one car aid

[waxen forge]

?

[rocky ocean]

noice

[waxen forge]

Oh I get it.

[strange mural]

also more healing in one package so

[rocky ocean]

so i only need cars and splints

[steady pilot]

Basically

[rocky ocean]

220 isntead of 100

[steady pilot]

Well its 1x2

[waxen forge]

Well I'd say ifak or salewa. Both better than CAR

[steady pilot]

You can keep the ai2 to heal after dying from a. Raid

@rocky oceanalso you should deck out your akms. Go to prapor lvl 1 and buy a ak100 handguard and black 6P grip

Freshen it up a lil

[strange mural]

then that sweet tt01

[misty flower]

newbie question, whats the difference between a Mosin, a Mosin Inf. And a Mosin Inf. Carbine?

[strange mural]

diffrent moddability

diffrent ergo i think too

[frank beacon]

sniper mosin can get 3.5x scope

[steady pilot]

@misty flower mosin infantry is a straight bolt. Mosin carbine/sniper is a curved bolt

Straight bolts arent compatible for a scope

[grand crow]

Hey guys, what happens to my insured stuff if I die, but someone loots me and he dies too?

[frank beacon]

huh

[steady pilot]

@grand crow you just get back what wasnt taken out of raid

[strange mural]

if it stays in the raid

its coming back

[grand crow]

Oh okay thanks!

[waxen forge]

24-36 hours

[grand crow]

Should I be selling weapons I’m scared to use

Not confident with it

[frank beacon]

no

use them

get over gear fear.

[grand crow]

Since it wasn’t mine to begin with maybe I’ll just give it a go

[frank beacon]

if you never use better weapons you will never get good at getting over the gear fear

[steady pilot]

If you want to get good at the game you have to accept risks for using better gear. Yes you might lose it. But it also might save you cause it's better. It's really just dependent on you playing smart. You're going to die and lose good gear no matter what, everyone does. Think of this way, if you dont use it you already lost it @grand crow

Copy pasta

[grand crow]

Right that’s true

[misty flower]

@steady pilot is there any source of information to check that in more detail? the mosin thing

[steady pilot]

@misty flower what more do you need. The wiki can go over modding

And items available

Just look at the rifle if you are confused

The bolt will be straight or curved

!wiki mosin sniper

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Special:Search?search=mosin+sniper

[steady pilot]

Wiki search down nice

[misty flower]

that command is helpful, thanks

[strange mural]

ïts not the wiki search is ded

[grand crow]

What does the 4 exit signs at the dorm car extract mean?

Up to four players can extract?

[steady pilot]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Mosin_bolt-action_sniper_rifle

[strange mural]

how many people fit in the car

yes

[silver hornet]

Wiki search has been down for a bit

[strange mural]

it was back up a while ago

for a bit

[silver hornet]

yep

[strange mural]

yes

[grand crow]

Ah

[silver hornet]

3-10k roubles

[bold kernel]

Do any elite gamers now what items I should keep? Note: I'm poor

[grand crow]

I might have been mistaken as someone exit camping

Saw someone running and I didn’t know that was the dorm car extract

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel just keep it you might need stuff for hideout

The hoses and wires are good money though

[waxen forge]

https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png

[strange mural]

also, wiki has a hideout items needed chart

[waxen forge]

[strange mural]

on the hideout page

[steady pilot]

That link is for hideout

[grand crow]

Is there an app to edit my stash? Something like Destiny DIM

[waxen forge]

No

[strange mural]

no

[bold kernel]

Thanks a lot all!

[grand crow]

Alright thanks!

It’s my second successful extract

17% SR 😦

This game really gets the heart pumping

[steady pilot]

My SR just got up to 60% last night

[grand crow]

I didn’t know the car extract was 1min

Yeah it startled me

[strange mural]

i dont get scared at all

i just act

[grand crow]

It’s usually quiet and fun shots are loud

[strange mural]

and die

[grand crow]

Gun

[strange mural]

[grand crow]

Haha I firstly need to find out where the guy is at

Most of the time I have no clue

[strange mural]

forro i can help

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel

[lyric storm]

Memes

[frank beacon]

woods is honestly really easy.

[strange mural]

woods without the pvp factor is super easy

[steady pilot]

It's easy if you stay out of the open

[strange mural]

but once you add it in you just roll a dice

[formal laurel]

Woods is bush shooting simulator

[grand crow]

Any idea for how Long should I wait before getting into dorms where it’s relatively safe

I need to get my key for prapor

[chrome swallow]

Jager is probably gonna be stuck at his rep because 5 scavs without bleeding

[formal laurel]

never wait to go into dorms

[steady pilot]

@grand crowwhich key

[grand crow]

The truck key for pocket watch

[formal laurel]

Machinery key is like 2k roubles

[grand crow]

Oh for real

[steady pilot]

^

[grand crow]

Alright thanks

[steady pilot]

Dorms sucks

[strange mural]

most quest keys are 5k

on flea

[frank beacon]

dorms is free loot

[strange mural]

no it isnt.

[formal laurel]

Dorms is loot central

[steady pilot]

Avoid dorms. Unsafe as hell

[formal laurel]

Pistol run marked room

[strange mural]

dorms is relatively hig hrisk

[formal laurel]

Easy docs case

[waxen forge]

Dorms isn't that much loot.

[bold kernel]

i am back

[steel fable]

Can I ask a stupid question?

[steady pilot]

Marked room can be lucky

[formal laurel]

Dorms does have a lot of loot with stashes lol

Are you high

[steady pilot]

@steel fable I might shame you

[frank beacon]

dorms has loot and a marked room

[steel fable]

I always hear about people rushing a "Marked Room?" What is in there, that is so.... important?

[formal laurel]

I always leave with a full back pack after a stash run

[waxen forge]

Stashes are outside

[strange mural]

dorms isnt that much loot compared to much riskless things

[steady pilot]

@steel fablehigh value loot

[strange mural]

[steel fable]

Is it random?

[steady pilot]

It spawns guns, items. Cases , etc

[strange mural]

marked room has random weapon and case spawns

generally good loot

[silver hornet]

The best loot is marked room, really

[steel fable]

So, why not just rush to it, and watch the door for whoever comes out? and loot them?

[silver dome]

reserve

[formal laurel]

It has a chance for high tier stuff such as thicc cases, doc cases, keybars with good keys on them, and guns, @steel fable

[steady pilot]

Marked room/circles spawn insane loot

[small perch]

people are crazy this patch for that marked room ! and for some reason lol ! got a weapon case a few days ago, but like people are syaing, the risk is so high

[silver dome]

customs is the best map

for loot

[steady pilot]

@steel fablebecause they pocket the good shit

[strange mural]

blue people do that.

volkov it really isnt

in any way
THE BEST

[steady pilot]

And yes people already camp the shit put of dorms

[formal laurel]

Customs loot is the best loot

[small perch]

@silver dome hmm i would say shoreline but

[strange mural]

it is good yeah

[silver dome]

shoreline?

[frank beacon]

i love going into dorms and seeing dead bodies of level 20+ players with pms that died to a scav

[steel fable]

And... now the crazier question... Where do you get the marked room key?

[silver dome]

no marked rooms in shoreline

does shoreline have the resort?

[formal laurel]

@steel fable find it on Scavs

[small perch]

yes @silver dome

[steady pilot]

Actually reserve and interchange is best loot

[formal laurel]

Loot scav pockets and back packs

[strange mural]

you buy it from market, get it from its spawns, jackets

[steady pilot]

But it's ok to be wrong

[small perch]

and now there is ledx spawning in there @silver dome

[mystic pasture]

The risk isnt that high in the Customs marked room tbh. If you get the close spawn you can rush there and be out real quick, but its not consistent profit, there's other places

[strange mural]

customs is by far not the best though

especially with the risk

[silver dome]

does someone have a 3d map for reserve

im gonna try

it

[steel fable]

Even better n00b question? Where is the... marked room?

[strange mural]

you dont need one

[frank beacon]

customs isnt a loot fest map like interchange dorms is honestly just pvp

[small perch]

@steady pilot i mean, shoreline resort has a lot of loots if you have the keys !
