[lapis mauve]

for sure

[solid gulch]

woohoo no more UNTAR armor on shoreline

[dense lotus]

If anyone is having issues with Reshade and removing it there is a guide in #community-support

[solid gulch]

have graphics cards come down in price

[long spear]

no

[solid gulch]

should i give mine to mechanic for Farming pt. whatever or sell it

[frosty plinth]

woo survive for 5min dehydrated, fun and interactive!

[open basin]

wtf

i died in interchange while walking

it said i got hit in the thorax but i heard no gunshots

[ruby delta]

Guys what does the nail gun chamber in?

[lapis mauve]

screws

[broken briar]

..

How do i get morphine i need it for a quest and its rare any good spots for it?

[idle bluff]

Scav raiders and bosses are quite reliable for it

[long spear]

med bags, med store on interchange, med building on reserve

[idle bluff]

Other than that, hit up medical bags and boxes

^^

[broken briar]

Fok

French toast u say just kill raid bosses like its nothing

[long spear]

theres also nice spawns for morphine on shoreline but you need resort keys

[broken briar]

I got

A pharmacy ley for resort

[idle bluff]

Once you get used to it, it’ll be a reliable spawn

Which key

[broken briar]

The name is pharmacy key

[long spear]

im not familiar with that one

[waxen forge]

You sure it's not Pharmacy on Interchange

[zealous forge]

My average raid life span is 44 mins lmao

[broken briar]

I think its that but i cant check since im on phone

[zealous forge]

Maybe I take my raids a little too slow

[silver dome]

hmm

whats a good hk416 loadout

with under 70k :

😄

i need to sell some shits

[waxen forge]

HK doesn't need much. Foregrip, optic, replace the pistol grip

[silver dome]

bruh , how do these youtubers have 0 recoil

does leveling up really affect it that much

[broken briar]

Ooh its on interchange

[silver dome]

what pistol grip , forgrip and optic @waxen forge

[broken briar]

Ypu get it from resort

[long spear]

sounds like morphine might spawn in a pharmacy you should google it idk what that key is

[waxen forge]

I use the Naroh or something like that..plus I like the angled (mounted at an angle) Zenit

[long spear]

if pharmacy key is for the emercom store thats nice i heard 1 mil rouble ledxs spawn in there and probably morphine too

[waxen forge]

Not emercon

There is a pharmacy at the base on the IDea stairs

[silver dome]

@waxen forge the one thats like 45degrees bent

[waxen forge]

Yea

[silver dome]

what armor would you suggest

[crisp fox]

so i just pre-ordered the game, how do i install it

[silver dome]

budracin

[open basin]

is the 5.45 bt worth it

[long spear]

you have to access your profile on the website if i remember correcly @crisp fox

[waxen forge]

Should get a confirmation email then you download the launcher from your profile page on website

[open basin]

the 7.62 ps seems just as good

[crisp fox]

Thanks

[waxen forge]

I've been running armored rig (tv-110) @silver dome

[strange mural]

Less uhh

Those are two diffrent calibers

So diffrent weapons

[open basin]

yeah but those are both ak ammo

[silver dome]

@waxen forge is this what you had in mind

[waxen forge]

It'll get the job done

[open basin]

BT is 44 dmg and 37 pen while the 7.62 ps is 54 dmg and 34 pen

[silver dome]

what ammo?

[strange mural]

Yeah i mean

[open basin]

5.45 bt and 7.62 ps

[strange mural]

Diffrent uses

Both are like

[long spear]

@open basin they might be aks but they are different guns nonetheless, i believe the higher caliber should have more recoil and maybe different velocities possibly different fire rate

[strange mural]

The cheaper ammos for their types

Yeah

[waxen forge]

I usually suppress it too

[strange mural]

762 generally more damage less pen

[silver dome]

ffs why does the tv-110 have to rise along with the tactec

[open basin]

oh wait the 5.45 bt is tracer

[strange mural]

Yeh

[silver dome]

@waxen forge i cant find "Blackout" suppressor anywhere on the linked search only rotor

[waxen forge]

AAC

[silver dome]

AAC?

whats that

[solid gulch]

do you throw grenades from pockets first or rig first

[waxen forge]

You need the AAC Blackout 5.56x45 flash-hider

[silver dome]

this one?

then what do i do linked search it?

[waxen forge]

and the AAC 762 SDN-6 7.62x51 sound suppressor

[silver dome]

damn 67k

wtf

[waxen forge]

YES I meant 7.62x51 supressor

[silver dome]

what magazine do you use

[waxen forge]

But it must go on the 5.56x45 flash-hider

[silver dome]

what magazine and what ammo

[placid path]

noob question: class 4 armor thats 45/70 is that just as good as class 2 thats 45/45?

[waxen forge]

1 of the 60 round mags (maybe 2) and then a couple 30 round mags

[silver dome]

what ammo

?

@waxen forge

[long spear]

@placid path no, armor class decides how effective the bullet is against the armor, the 45/70 is the durability of the armor, which wears down to 0 where the armor is useless after taking damage from ammo, and different ammo causes different amounts of damage to armor

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[placid path]

thanks!

[long spear]

this will show you ammo vs armor values

[silver dome]

@waxen forge what ammoooo

[waxen forge]

995 if you can afford it

But iirc 855A1 was buffed

[silver dome]

and if u cant

[waxen forge]

to 57 pen

[silver dome]

what does iirc mean

[waxen forge]

If I remember corectly

[silver dome]

oh

so whats the value bullet

[waxen forge]

M855A1 was buffed to 57 pen

[silver dome]

im doing custom s not anything fancy btw , possibly interchan ge meh

???

[long spear]

i mean, you can look at the ammo chart and the flea market prices and decide for yourself volkov

[waxen forge]

The 855A1 is about 300 per round

[waxen forge]

I can get it from Skier for 200 though since leveled traders

[silver dome]

this fine ? 'budraci

[waxen forge]

Oh god a Kiver

[silver dome]

what helm then

[waxen forge]

I like to hear

[silver dome]

yup same 😄

sO?

@waxen forge

what helmet

[waxen forge]

Depends on what want to spend

[silver dome]

dont worry

just say one youll take

with the hk

you told me

to make

[waxen forge]

Can go Striker/Ulach for cheaper

[silver dome]

there are alot of striker

and ulach and striker are the same things @waxen forge

which one better?

[zealous forge]

What's a good item to level up skier with?

[waxen forge]

Or if you want to spend some bux go with Airframe or Fast MT

[zealous forge]

SSh-68 for budget

[waxen forge]

I usually run the green one

The ACHHC olive

[silver dome]

aight ima play offline

[waxen forge]

Or honestly can go 6b

[silver dome]

i bought the black

one

50k

ima see how good the recoil is offline

hopefully its good

[waxen forge]

I don't put a lot of stock in helmets

[silver dome]

😬

yea

helmets

noone shoots

there

surprisingly

noone plays this game like cod

[faint violet]

Eh

You would be surprised

[crisp fox]

I know this is a lot to ask, but I just got the game and was wondering if someone would Sherpa me through the first part of the game. I have a good amount of experience in other fps games, i've just heard that this one is really difficult for beginners.

[faint violet]

become blue

#521628660298678283

Go to #pvp-lfg then

Ask for a guide

Or do !sherpa

Or whatever it was

Lmao

[silver dome]

damn bruh the guns pretty recoily

unline the utubers

[sonic lake]

@waxen forge lmao m855a1 is not 57 pen, it got buffed to 41 or something

[waxen forge]

Gotcha

My sheet wasn't updated

[steady pilot]

m855a1 is 40 pen

never use the ammo chart

use the wiki

100% always more accurate

[crisp fox]

would anyone be willing to help me out with starting

[versed swallow]

is this a good gun or should i sell it

[steady pilot]

sa5 8 is great gun

it can shoot 762x51mm M80 which is an 80 dmg 45 pen round

[waxen forge]

Good bullets make gun good

[steady pilot]

^

[versed swallow]

so i should keep it?

[waxen forge]

If you want to use it

[versed swallow]

hmmmm

ok

thanks

[strange mural]

@steady pilot the sheet is up to date though

kinda late sorry

[steady pilot]

not when changes happen

so quickly

[strange mural]

the wiki page is based on this spreadsheet though

the data

aint it

[split vapor]

the wiki is his data

[strange mural]

yeah

[split vapor]

well that part

but yeah

[strange mural]

i mean both are just as updated

[steady pilot]

no snutri

the spreadsheet

is made from wiki info

the wiki is updated constantly and more accurtley

spread sheets are user made....

[idle bluff]

We get the info on the wiki, then Cat updates his spreadsheet.

[split vapor]

too bad no one looks at cats

[long spear]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jjWcIue0_PCsbLQAiL5VrIulPK8SzM5jjiCMx9zUuvE/edit#gid=64053005

so this should be just as up to date as the wiki

because i was told wiki is more up to date than this

by a red

[strange mural]

i mean yeah it just got

explained

basically the wiki gets the information first

[zealous forge]

NoFood has a spread

[strange mural]

then the sheet gets updated

[long spear]

he said cats sheet gets updated

[sonic lake]

boys im slowly making progress, fuck you jaeger

[strange mural]

based on the wiki

[long spear]

not nofood's

[steady pilot]

bro

the wiki people get information

FIRST

[long spear]

the wiki says the information comes from THE SAME PERSON that makes this spreadsheet

and this red just referenced a different spreadsheet not the one i linked

[strange mural]

yeah

[idle bluff]

Cat is NFAM.

[long spear]

ah ok

[idle bluff]

All the data displayed below is the product of NoFoodAfterMidnight. This page is aimed at spreading the knowledge he uncovered, and making it easy to understand for new players.```
Refers to how effective the ammo types are against armor levels.

[upper bluff]

I don't suppose anyone is running delivery from the past by chance?

[idle bluff]

The individual stats.

The raw stats.

Damage.

Armor Damage, armor pen, accuracy.

Comes from us.

[zealous forge]

I have 16.9M in sales to Therapist lmao

[long spear]

ah ok, it shouldnt say all the data below then lol

[split vapor]

yikers cat is nf

thats not good

must explain why everything is false

[cerulean charm]

Where do I get T45M ammo?

[steady pilot]

why would you want that?

[cerulean charm]

for my ak

[open basin]

get ps

[steady pilot]

^

or BP

[waxen forge]

Like asking > Hey where can I get some shitty pizza

[cerulean charm]

Aight I just got ps

[long spear]

bp is wayyy better looking at ammo chart, not sure about prices though

[cerulean charm]

I just bought the game yesterday

[open basin]

bp is nearly 600 roubles a bullet

[steady pilot]

762 PS will get the job done

but dont expect to take down sweaties

[cerulean charm]

would 3 magazines be enough?

or should I bring more with me

[long spear]

i usually bring a magazine in the gun and 2 in rig, and a stack of aamo in container

[open basin]

night interchange as pmc is ez money

but i've been killed 2 times in a row by dudes sitting in dark ass corners

[long spear]

but i have a gamma container and use expensive ammo so

[open basin]

im just trying to get my quests done

[bold kernel]

nickname suggestions please

i beg you

[upper bluff]

Nickname for what?

[open basin]

Babek

there

[upper bluff]

"Don't shoot me."

[bold kernel]

that sounds gay as fuck

[open basin]

it's ur name

[bold kernel]

@upper bluff no spaces allowed

@open basin ye i know

[upper bluff]

Don'tShootMe

[cerulean charm]

What sight is good for the ak

[bold kernel]

tips for learning maps like woods? everytime i go i die and i dont know where extracts are. i know i can go into offline but besides thats? or any map really

[cerulean charm]

one that zooms in quite far

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel go offline

[strange mural]

offline, scav

[bold kernel]

walk around

:)

[upper bluff]

There's a good map of woods online as well.

[strange mural]

those are the easiest ways

[long spear]

use a map on your phone or another monitor

[upper bluff]

On the wiki.

[open basin]

git gud at reading the maps

[bold kernel]

although woods fucking sucks for learning

it's just trees everywhere

only map i really know is factory

can i use profanity in my nicknames on tarkov?

like dick

[long spear]

woods isnt bad if you just orient yourself from the shoreline

[strange mural]

or other big landmarks really

once you get a feel for it

its pretty easy

[bold kernel]

o wait you cant find the maps ?

[strange mural]

wiki has all the maps.

never use ingame maps

[bold kernel]

o ok

[cerulean charm]

Guys which scope should I get for my ak from traders

I have a red dot on there atm

[upper bluff]

What level traders?

[cerulean charm]

I want something that zooms in more

I'm lvl 2

Is that what you mean?

[static wave]

Nah he means what level is the traders

Probably lvl1

[long spear]

if he is level 2 then his traders are lvl 1

and im pretty sure there are no zoom scopes for assault rifles at lvl 1 traders

[upper bluff]

There's a level to your traders as well, they'll sell you better gear the higher the trader level.

[long spear]

once you hit 5 you can defniitely buy a zoom for it on flea market though

[cerulean charm]

aah

[upper bluff]

At level 1 traders, you don't have much in terms of options.

[long spear]

player level 5 opens flea market

[static wave]

Gonna have to buy from the market for that kinda scope

Or keep scaving until you get one with a decent scope

[strange mural]

or find one

[cerulean charm]

There's a couple at dealers but I don't have the loot to buy them

Like a drill and a phone

[long spear]

just because its a scope doesnt mean it will fit on your ak though

[cerulean charm]

Owh

[long spear]

you have to know what goes on what

[cerulean charm]

Damn this game is complicated

[gray mountain]

man spawns in this game are absolutely horrible sometimes

I spawn in, die in literally 25 seconds

[bold kernel]

You love to see it

[cerulean charm]

haha

[open basin]

lul

[bold kernel]

That's a record

[gray mountain]

I was like, I'll finally just go in geared to customs so I can kill the scavs for the quest

insta dies

[bold kernel]

Relatable tbh

[cerulean charm]

Now I'm scared to lose my loot

[bold kernel]

Okay I'll finally take out my good sniper so I can get scav kills on woods

dies instantly

[cerulean charm]

But how do you know it's a scav or a player

the way they move?

[static wave]

On how geared they are or how they move

[cerulean charm]

aah

[long spear]

if you are close enough you can tell by the color of their shirt

[bold kernel]

Yes, also if they have a gun on their back they can't be ai scavs

[static wave]

Real scabs are never super geared

[long spear]

and how they move

[static wave]

@long spear true

[bold kernel]

Also if they 360 headshot you they're definitely scavs

[cerulean charm]

lmao

[long spear]

there is a type of npc scav that is super geared called a raider

[bold kernel]

^ Scav bosses are also stacked

[cerulean charm]

That's the type I should avoid

[static wave]

@bold kernel hahahaha

[bold kernel]

come on

[static wave]

Hit you from 30 m with 12 gauge

[upper bluff]

There's a build website I think that will tell you what you can put on your weapon.

[slow glade]

Hello

[static wave]

Yep just google eft weapon modding

[cerulean charm]

Have you guys memorized most extractions?

[static wave]

Super easy to use sites

[cerulean charm]

and can you navigate without a wiki map

or do you still look at maps etc

[static wave]

Then you can unlock presets and use that

[slow glade]

How do I use my hideout

[static wave]

Use maps in the beginning then you learn the map

[long spear]

https://www.eftdb.one/

[waxen forge]

Depends on how long you've played @cerulean charm

[long spear]

go to weapon modding

[upper bluff]

You learn stuff over time.

[static wave]

It seems daunting now but the maps are easy to learn

[bold kernel]

A second screen is very helpful

[cerulean charm]

How many hours do ya'll have in the game

[bold kernel]

guys please i have a question

[cerulean charm]

I have a second screen but alt tabbing is awful

[static wave]

@bold kernel true it is super helpful

[bold kernel]

this game is +18 right

[waxen forge]

It varies here.

[bold kernel]

I recommend you just keep running the same map over and over again until you know everything there is to know about it

[static wave]

@cerulean charm I only have like 24 in game time

[bold kernel]

You don't have to alt tab, just put the map on full screen on ur 2nd screen

this game is +18 right

Idk Kebab, you'd think so

you can't use the word shit in your nickname

[static wave]

HAHAHAHAHAH

[bold kernel]

I just looked it up and it is 18+ @bold kernel

[cerulean charm]

make the S a 5

[static wave]

Replace the I with a 1

[bold kernel]

too late

[static wave]

Hahahahahahaha

This is hilarious

[bold kernel]

characters ingame

literally swearing

but you can't use shit in your nickname

I should really get Delivery From The Past done sometime soon

I'm lvl 20 and don't have it completed

i wanna do it

with a 5man on factory

but i'm scared of using lfg

[open basin]

i did it solo 😎

[bold kernel]

cuz i'm afraid some dick might just kill my ass

Same, im so tired of dying with my docs

[open basin]

like a cool kid

[bold kernel]

You're a bigger gamer than we are

@open basin and then a dragon flew through the window

and did anal with your mother

LOL

[static wave]

Haha

[open basin]

smells like someone is jealous

😎

[bold kernel]

I sure am

[open basin]

spawn in front of the building like i did

[bold kernel]

i just don't believe fairy tales

[cerulean charm]

I really need a phone holder so I can have the map on my phone

[bold kernel]

Yeah that works too

@cerulean charm do you have a TV in your house?

i just plugged in my tv

through hdmi

[cerulean charm]

Not in my room though

[upper bluff]

Easy solution to fear of losing stuff, don't take anything in you wouldn't be ok with losing.

[bold kernel]

wall mounted?

[cerulean charm]

Nah

[bold kernel]

@upper bluff easy solution to fear of losing stuff

But then you'd never take out the good stuff @upper bluff

just take out everything u have or sell it

[cerulean charm]

I have 2 monitors but I always like to have a youtube vid playing on the second monitor because scaving can be really boring

[bold kernel]

if you don't take stuff you wouldn't be okay with losing

[cerulean charm]

so I just use my phone

[upper bluff]

But then you don't fear losing stuff.

[bold kernel]

it's just gonna take up inventory space

so it's useless

Well yes if you think rationally

[long spear]

imagine being pmc level 2 and already watching youtube on 2nd monitor

[bold kernel]

That stacked out m4 I found has emotional value

[cerulean charm]

Well I am mostly listening to the video

[waxen forge]

@cerulean charm Just a tip. You don't want other things playing (audio) while playing EFT. You need to hear. Ever notice that the Twitch guys that play music don't let the music play while in raid?"

[cerulean charm]

Yeah but I only do it when Im scaving

[strange mural]

ears are everything

[bold kernel]

If you're a casual gamer and don't mind dying then I guess yt vids aren't that bad

[strange mural]

they can save you more times t han armor

[waxen forge]

Still need to hear. Scav is free shit if you make it out alive

[cerulean charm]

Yeah I guess

[bold kernel]

A professional scav tactic is to wait in a corner for the entire raid on interchange, come out of your corner when there's 5 minutes left and loot everything in the middle

[upper bluff]

Professional Scav.

[cerulean charm]

I don't understand half of those terms

[bold kernel]

Hehe don't worry about it, just joking

[long spear]

if you use a method like that to earn money you might as well just do loot runs as pmc on reserve and save yourself a bunch of sitting around

[upper bluff]

What you wanna do is pull up the map for customs and start playing offline with scavs on and learn the map.

[bold kernel]

I don't actually do that, but I could see it work lmao

[cerulean charm]

When I got the game I thought it was comparable to dayz

but it's much harder

[bold kernel]

I don't use my scav that often because I want to complete quests reee

It's a very steep learning curve

[strange mural]

just scav online and do pmc offline while scav is on cd

[bold kernel]

Yeah offline raids are good for learning maps

[cerulean charm]

Offline with bots or without

[bold kernel]

That or yeet it with friends, if you have friends who play tarkov

With, so you get to know their spawns

[long spear]

if you enable bots you can also start learning where they spawn

[cerulean charm]

Oh so the spawns aren't random

[strange mural]

nah they have general spawn areas

[cerulean charm]

But doesn't that make spawnkilling easy?

[bold kernel]

They roam in their area

But yes you could spawnkill scavs pretty easily

[strange mural]

its still tarkov

so just standing there killing scavs exposes you HARD

[upper bluff]

The problem isn't really the scavs.

[bold kernel]

I mean usually scavs aren't that big of a threat. They will occasionally 360 headshot you though

[upper bluff]

It's the other PMCs.

[long spear]

i mean, spawns are strategically placed so its not easy to spawnkill, but there are still some that are pretty close to each other in terms of line of fire

[cerulean charm]

Aah I thought pmcs also have a general spawn location

[upper bluff]

They do.

[bold kernel]

They do but we all start moving at the same time so

[long spear]

unless you have a slow computer

[bold kernel]

People do rush spawns, you gotta be careful

[strange mural]

generally advanced players know the pmc spawns and are wary of those locations

or even check them

so haul ass once you spawn

[upper bluff]

Anyway, who wants to piggyback me up on their back and carry me through this Delivery from the past quest?

[bold kernel]

Gonna do that one tomorrow

It's too late to go to factory rn lmao

I'll have a heart attack

[strange mural]

i recommend trying to do it during night

[upper bluff]

The custom's part isn't too bad but the factory part is brutal.

[strange mural]

barely any players and scavs get disabled

[cerulean charm]

1am here and I gotta wake up at 7

rip

[bold kernel]

Yeah I'm considering that Snutri

[long spear]

you can get very lucky and spawn right next to the drop off in factory for that quest

and then the extract is right there as well

[bold kernel]

Imagine ^

[upper bluff]

I have not been so lucky.

Really I just want someone to avenge me after I get bopped and drop the documents.

[bold kernel]

Closure

[upper bluff]

Yes.

A rarity in Tarkov.

[bold kernel]

One day we'll complete that quest and it'll feel so good

I'm sure

[upper bluff]

Unlock the ability to buy PS 5.49 I think?

[bold kernel]

No clue

[idle bluff]

Correct, Musabi.

[upper bluff]

Oh hey.

[steady pilot]

BS?

[idle bluff]

PS

Dumb dumb

[upper bluff]

I applied for a Sherpa on the website and it's the discord head moderator.

[steady pilot]

the trash 545 round?

[upper bluff]

Just noticed.

[idle bluff]

Not a head mod btw

Oh

Yeah

No

About half of the mods on here are Sherpas

[steady pilot]

[urban rampart]

Game really needs to not face solos up against 3+stacks

[steady pilot]

why

squads are dumb

[idle bluff]

If anything.

[gray mountain]

Second run on customs got giga cucked

[steady pilot]

its very easy to outplay squads

[idle bluff]

Fighting squads solo helps you.

Also what Delta said

[bold kernel]

It's very demotivating for beginner players

[long spear]

yeah im pretty sure players generally play worse when in a squad

[idle bluff]

Too bad for them. This game is supposed to be hard.

[steady pilot]

^

[bold kernel]

I think some sort of matchmaking would be great

[strange mural]

squads cant play sound game like a solo can

[urban rampart]

@idle bluff #beginners-assistance thanks bud

[strange mural]

so silencers are super effective and footsteps are harder to detect for them

[idle bluff]

We're here to help beginners figure out the game.

Being outmatched is part of the game.

[bold kernel]

I hate that every argument against current game mechanics gets countered by "game is supposed to be hard"

[steady pilot]

if you have a suppressed weapon that literally shreds armor or 1 taps easily, squads are a cake walk.

[bold kernel]

The game has flaws

[strange mural]

it does

but it does not need to be easy

some mechanics are good and meant to be hard

[steady pilot]

^

[urban rampart]

lol I'll bet if you have level 6 armor and a beast AS VAL squads are easy

[strange mural]

you arent supposed to have a easy and fun time

[bold kernel]

Why are people so afraid to admit that some stuff could definitely do with some improvement

[steady pilot]

its meant to be more simulator

than a call of duty

[urban rampart]

I just feel that if you're a squad of 5, the game is too easy

[strange mural]

thats just the way combat is

[steady pilot]

make friends then

[strange mural]

[steady pilot]

sounds like a personal issue

[daring ember]

yeah idk how I feel about squads > 2 players either

[waxen forge]

The plans are for it to become more difficult not easier @bold kernel

[strange mural]

i dont like even trios personally

[waxen forge]

Nikita has said that many times

[long spear]

have you tried keeping track of 4 other teammates so you dont shoot them? it takes up a decent amount of your focus

[steady pilot]

Dude

[bold kernel]

I'm not saying I want things to be easier

[steady pilot]

even Nikita says

[strange mural]

nikita said: you arent supposed to hop on and just have fun

[bold kernel]

Tarkov is suffering

[daring ember]

what bout noobsies like us tho ? @steady pilot

[bold kernel]

And let's be honest, we love it

[long spear]

ive heard nikita say multiple times the game isnt supposed to be fun, in some amount of seriousness too

[steady pilot]

i wasa noob too

[waxen forge]

Actually he said it's not supposed to be fun

[steady pilot]

i got gud

[daring ember]

GIT GUD SON

[steady pilot]

i accepted i need to improve

and learn from deaths

[strange mural]

the fun in tarkov isnt guaranteed

[steady pilot]

and i did

[strange mural]

but when tarkov is fun

its so fucking good it pays for the bad shit

[steady pilot]

^

[strange mural]

thats the way its supposed to be

[daring ember]

@steady pilot ok now teach me, bitch 😡

[urban rampart]

A guy sprinted by me in the bush so I mercd' him with my suppressed gun, then his 2 squaddies who were also in the bush got me

[strange mural]

that one loot run that makes you yizz yourself

[bold kernel]

tarkov is literally real life

a series of bad events followed by a singular good event that somehow keeps you going

[strange mural]

yeah

[waxen forge]

Yea we all started and sucked. Were overwhelmed and pissed and moaned but like life (is supposed to be) there are no participation trophies so it was either work at it or quit.

[daring ember]

that's deep 5Head

[bold kernel]

while some rich dude just lives his life

[long spear]

@urban rampart so by that same logic, you dont think its too easy for someone to just sit in a bush and kill someone going past?

[bold kernel]

doing whatever he wants to having fun

and you slave away

in your scavenger job

with no future

[urban rampart]

That's not the same logic. He made a mistake in sprinting through bushes

[gray mountain]

Is it worth going for helmets and not being able to wear headsets?

Seen a bunch of streamers going ZSh-1

[waxen forge]

If this were real war damn straight I'm "camping" instead of lining up Civil War style and just shooting at each other.

[gray mountain]

With face shield

[steady pilot]

well the only participation trohpy shit they have left in this game is the containers, and they are about to nerf it

[waxen forge]

Totally cool with that

100%

[gray mountain]

They havent actually confirmed that they will nerf it

[steady pilot]

its coming

gurantee it

[strange mural]

yeah

[steady pilot]

they have made several nerfs so far

[strange mural]

small nerf inc

[steady pilot]

the community cries

[strange mural]

and i bet more will come

[long spear]

i hope they dont change containers, there are other ways to deal with the problems they want to address

[steady pilot]

and delays it

[gray mountain]

I actually think Nikita went onto Reddit and said that they've only discussed it and havent actually decided yet

[strange mural]

killing hatchlings is good

[steady pilot]

Bro they just banned reshade today

[urban rampart]

@gray mountain That's accurate

[strange mural]

they said barters wont be pocketable anymore

[gray mountain]

Hatchlings can be dealt with by adding scavs

[steady pilot]

you really dont think they wont fix containers?

[gray mountain]

in hot areas

[bold kernel]

hatchlings can be dealt with by just killing them

what's the difference if someone has a knife or an m4

[gray mountain]

I think they are considering other options

[long spear]

yeah, no need to touch containers to stop hatchlings

[steady pilot]

adding a 20 second timer would be good

to punch in your code

and shit

[gray mountain]

to the container?

[steady pilot]

or paying a fee to be able to add items to it in raid

[long spear]

i mean at most they should keep you from selling items you put in container but still use it for quests, but i dont like that either

[gray mountain]

I dont think the fee will be a good idea

[strange mural]

container tax for taking items out of it

[gray mountain]

Yeah

[strange mural]

[gray mountain]

I mean its a solid strat

[steady pilot]

this game needs more money sinks

[daring ember]

plz no fees

[steady pilot]

money is too easy

[gray mountain]

I think adding a few scavs would be easier deterrent

[daring ember]

plz

[bold kernel]

i'm fucking poor

epic

[steady pilot]

i literally can walk in a raid with my thumb up my ass and come out with 1mil

[strange mural]

scavs are not a problem to most people

[daring ember]

talk for urself Delta

[gray mountain]

yeah snutri

[urban rampart]

200IQ

[daring ember]

what about tagging hatchlings ?

[bold kernel]

@steady pilot that's kinda gay

[long spear]

in reserve right now you can do a literal 5 minute run for 300-800k

[daring ember]

🤔

[steady pilot]

you guys are just beginners

[daring ember]

that sounds like a simple solution imo

[steady pilot]

once you get past learning curve

its the easiest thing

in the worlds

to make money on eft

[bold kernel]

flexing on beginners chat

[steady pilot]

its a knowledge game

[daring ember]

yeah kinda weiiiiird WeirdChamp

[strange mural]

its true tho

[daring ember]

yeah like for ex for me i have no clue wtf is more expensive over what

[strange mural]

its insane what actual vets can do on this game

[daring ember]

so looting is not a super simple task for me

[bold kernel]

once you get past the learning curve you'll make 1mil with a dildo up your throat

won't tell you how though

[open basin]

i have a lot of money 😄

[daring ember]

@bold kernel spill the beans rn 😡

[steady pilot]

i ltierally cant, because its literally just knowledge of everything

[open basin]

i had like 4.5 mill at lvl 14

[steady pilot]

ive played since .07

[daring ember]

bru

[bold kernel]

i have 1mil rn

[steady pilot]

i know every nook and cranny lol

[bold kernel]

that's it

[daring ember]

ok ur def flexing now

[steady pilot]

not trying to

im just saying

[daring ember]

[steady pilot]

once you are past the curve

its not hard

learn from deaths

[bold kernel]

the biggest curve i had with this game is depression

[steady pilot]

[open basin]

i think ima run day interchange now for quests

[long spear]

after about 300 hours in game i know pretty much everything important

couldve been done in less but i did a lot of loot runs

[bold kernel]

I 2nd that @bold kernel

[strange mural]

i mean you can know everything

but the combat experience

vets have

they think of things that i didnt even have a clue about

when to listen when to run

the optimal routes

[waxen forge]

Like I said earlier. Experience trumps gear

[long spear]

i know the optimal routes and the spawns and all that lol

[stark moat]

I'm just not good at clicking on heads.

[strange mural]

i do recommend new people do try and look for vets to play with

[long spear]

in a few hundred hours you can know the game quite well

[strange mural]

you learn a lot just listening to their commands and following

[torpid kestrel]

The MonsterHunter discord has this like "recruit-a-hunter" section on their discord where you as a newbie post that you're looking to get recruited or they'r elooking to recruit someone

sherpas

[brazen owl]

Any good place to find NIXXOR Lens?

[strange mural]

tech stores

[open basin]

interchange

[brazen owl]

ty

[waxen forge]

Interchange tech stores

Possibly storage room behind Idea office

[strange mural]

pretty common in tech spawns

[bold kernel]

Interchange Techlight and Texno are priti solid

[waxen forge]

Plus Rasmussen and the one beside Voyage

[strange mural]

rasmussen too

german

german has only a few spawns from what ive tested out

but still, its there

[gray mountain]

I mean Ive only ever found lenses in Rasmussen

Never seen them in the other stores

[open basin]

i've found them at all the techstores

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel wanna hold hands now?

[open basin]

game pls

i dont want to spawn into a raid at 52 mins as a scav

[gray mountain]

damn

what map do you have 52 mins left as a scav?

[bold kernel]

That's yikes

And yes please Kebab

[open basin]

customs and interchange are 55 mins now

and i was in interchange

[gray mountain]

oh

yeah wtf

did you have to queue for long?

[open basin]

nah

[gray mountain]

Then I really dont understand that matchmaking 🤔

[bold kernel]

There's no matchmaking in this game, luckily

[open basin]

i queued up at a normal time

well the queue time was normal

[upper bluff]

Picked up the package from Customs again.

[bold kernel]

What's a good way to spend 1 million rubles on the Mechanic so I can unlock tier 2?

Since there's no matchmaking fortunately, I assume @gray mountain that you qeued for so long because you have servers selected with almost no players

[warm rover]

Ak 74M is better than AKM right ?

[upper bluff]

Guess I'll store it and practice the route in Factory for a while.

[open basin]

just get lucky and spawn in front it lmao

[upper bluff]

Just get lucky lmao.

[gray mountain]

@bold kernel I didnt say that I queued long

[open basin]

i got lucky on my 4 time doing it

[gray mountain]

I think you missed out on some important bit of info

[bold kernel]

@upper bluff you wanna drop that package?

[upper bluff]

I need to dump my load upstairs in the room yes.

[bold kernel]

@upper bluff Alright, I help you real quick with that

Go to Factory lobby, I'll invite you

[upper bluff]

Alright.

Lemme gear up.

[bold kernel]

ame Tarkov name as here in discord?

[upper bluff]

Yes.

[bold kernel]

Go to any voice chat below

[upper bluff]

Duo Bravo?

[bold kernel]

ok

[open basin]

man

bad service version

reconnect and a duo is on my spawn

i just wanna do dis dumb jaeger quest

[solid gulch]

what shotgun round should i use to get the headshots

[gray mountain]

which quest Less?

[warm rover]

So kirasa is not better than the zhuk-3 right ?

[thick mist]

These Sew it good quests are such bullshit

[tiny void]

Jeez why is M995 so expensive

[thick mist]

Spending 500k just to get a 68k reward lmao

[tiny void]

900 rubles for 1xM995 normal?

[gray mountain]

kinda

usually at 850 maybe

[open basin]

im dropping off the iskras and water for jaeger

[gray mountain]

Ah

I was really lucky with that

[open basin]

i had a good spawn

it was just that stupid bad service version made me waste like 4 mins

and by time i reconnect theres 2 dudes on me

[gray mountain]

ye

I mean you could easily just "hatchling" it and take the water and iskra in your container

[open basin]

hey thats what im doing now

[gray mountain]

ah ok

just making sure you didnt get fucked when you brought gear

[open basin]

i tried it twice with a mosin so i can knock 4 birds off 1 stone

[gray mountain]

ye

[open basin]

but it's becoming a waste of money when i die 2 mins in

[steady pilot]

@warm rover one is not better than the other

545 and 762 are different purpose calibers

you can correlate 545 and 556 being on a similiar scale

cause they are balistically similiar

[gray mountain]

Also, how do I travel in customs without getting fucked?

I feel like I run into multiple players all the time

[steady pilot]

stay off the beaten path

play spordaically or un predictable

[gray mountain]

Would the construction area be the least populated area do you think?

[steady pilot]

customs is quite linear

so hard to do

[warm rover]

Yeah I can see by the charts they do similar damage and pen

[stark moat]

Low crawl the entire length of the map, takes a bit less than 45 minutes.

[gray mountain]

feels like everyone and their moms camp the forests around dorms

and along the main road

[bold kernel]

How do I level the mechanic? [aka how do I spend 1m rubles on him]

[steady pilot]

buying and selling things

[gray mountain]

Sell items

[thick mist]

Just sell guns you find to him

[steady pilot]

when i end up selling weapons and shit

[vast owl]

Is there any rule of thumb (or actual rule) as to how soon after a game start player & NPC scavs start? Any minimum amount of space you have from them (e.g. they won't spawn at 2 closest spawns to your current / initial location)?

[waxen forge]

Should have been selling him weapons all along

[thick mist]

Mechanic should be one of the easier traders to level

[steady pilot]

^

[waxen forge]

Break weapons into parts and sell to Skier then Mechanic

[thick mist]

^

[waxen forge]

Once again DON"T OVERUSE FLEA

[warm rover]

Is Kirasa better than the Zhuk-3 because of it's more durability ?

[steady pilot]

eh sure

both trash

lvl 4+ recommended

[warm rover]

Yeah tho zhuk-3's material is so good for it's level

[upper bluff]

Big shoutout to my boy @bold kernel for the assistance.

[gray mountain]

materials only change the amount of dmg an armor takes per bullet

when it doesnt pen

lvl 3 means basically anyone can penetrate it anyways

[bold kernel]

@upper bluff Always my pleasure

[gray mountain]

so it doesnt mean much

[thick mist]

Level 3 is great against scavs

I typically go into raids with level 3

[gray mountain]

Yeah and then you get one tapped by any pmc

[thick mist]

🤷‍♂️ gonna get one-tapped if I was wearing level 4

[gray mountain]

Thats a really a valid argument but sure

[warm rover]

So which one of the lvl 4 do you prefer then ?

[ionic kelp]

guys

[gray mountain]

There are some great lvl 4 armored rigs

[ionic kelp]

is pp 5.45 viable

or no

[bold kernel]

Gzhel-K best Level 4 Armor

[gray mountain]

@ionic kelp most important part is what ammo it is

[ionic kelp]

5.45

[gray mountain]

Yes

but it has sub types

[ionic kelp]

PP

at level 2 prapor

[long spear]

pp isnt good but its not horrendous

[gray mountain]

Works against scavs and or cheapskate players

[long spear]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

learn about your ammo and armor there

[gray mountain]

yeah

Just follow the spreadsheet on that page

[ionic kelp]

ahhh okay thx

[gray mountain]

for all your ballistics needs

[ionic kelp]

and for del from the past

any suggestions for the factory part

[long spear]

pray to your maker

[gray mountain]

yeah

[long spear]

make sure you know where you are going in offline mode first

thats about it

[ionic kelp]

i do butevetytime ive done

it

i get clapped by nades

or someone rushing me

[long spear]

well if you do it enough eventually you will spawn right next to it

[gray mountain]

You lose the item when you die dont you

[ionic kelp]

yea

ive tried like

4 times now

[gray mountain]

yeah

might be worth just going semi geared, kill everything on the server

and then hope to god

some people only hang out on the other side of that building

so if you are lucky you might just be able to sneak it

[long spear]

ive heard going at night can help but cant say from experience

[gray mountain]

like I did with the toolkit quest

yeah

going night definitely helps, but gotta bring night vision

its completely pitchblack in there

[ionic kelp]

i cant afford nvg

[urban rampart]

Yep I tried it at night. Couldn't see a damn thing

[gray mountain]

You can get nvg for like 35k

[ionic kelp]

i have like 200k cash

[bold kernel]

is there another way to view the maps besides wiki I'm not making a twitch account just to keep viewing the maps

[long spear]

yeah

theres a website i used that isnt the wiki

[gray mountain]

http://www.gamemaps.co.uk/game/tarkov/maps/customs_callouts_3d

I use this

[long spear]

actually i guess i did use the wiki

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Map_of_Tarkov

i didnt know a twitch account was required...?

never saw anything about that

[bold kernel]

sweet thanks guys

yeah so the game pedia keeps requestingme to make an account

[long spear]

oh, weird

not sure why

[bold kernel]

but it has to be thru twitch to make a gampida

im are u kidding me nevermind

[long spear]

well a twitch account is free to make

for the record

[bold kernel]

Where is the best location to find 6x 60round mags for the Ice cream cones quest?

[strange mural]

never ever

had to make a twitch account for that

what the fuck lmao

just open the image in browser

[long spear]

yeah that sounds strange

[bold kernel]

yeah i tried

[long spear]

you shouldnt need a twitch account for that or any of the wiki for that matter

never heard of that

[strange mural]

mightve not been wiki

[bold kernel]

i have it open fine but as soon as i click on image to look at map better it ask me to have a gamepida account

which is tired with twitch

[long spear]

try right clicking to save the image

and open it from your drive

[strange mural]

right click

open link in other tab

then press again

and it just opens the image

and you just go to a link like

https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/thumb/c/c4/WofflReserveMap.png/1024px-WofflReserveMap.png

[bold kernel]

i tried all thats why i asked for another site

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Map_of_Tarkov

[long spear]

your next best bet is probably google "tarkov maps" and go to images

just make sure you find a map that at least will show you extractions

[bold kernel]

yeah

the gamemaps works amazing

no fuse thanks who ever put it up

[strange mural]

rarely need any

id contact the wiki admins

but cant remember the name of the guy for the life of me

[fathom narwhal]

what happen if you dc

will ur character just stand there

[long spear]

yes

[fathom narwhal]

ok

[tiny void]

oo im sure u dont care but had really good scav run on factory

lots of nice loot

bye

[long spear]

cya

[zealous forge]

Well I lost my baby vepr

F

[open basin]

of course

2 extract campers at emercom

[tiny void]

scav on interchange earlier, someone must have got killed by a scav, m4a1 fully kitted out, lots of m995 ammo

[open basin]

imagine extract camping with 15 mins left on a night raid

[tiny void]

died on the stairs on oli the silly billy

[warm rover]

You can't reload a gun with an internal mag right ?

[open basin]

you just put bullets in your rig or pocket

[warm rover]

yeah, for sks I have to remove the sks int. to be able to put mags

[open basin]

yeah

you put the bullets in your pocket

to reload it

[steady pilot]

sks bad

ree

[open basin]

do i need the zb 014 key for the thrifty quest for jaeger

[steady pilot]

no

[open basin]

also do you guys do quest when you max out your traders?

[strange mural]

well kappa requires all tasks so

[long spear]

if you want the kappa container sure

too many annoying quests for me to be bothered

my jaegar is going to stay at lvl 3 just because his tasks suck but i got the rest to 4

[open basin]

i have a super good technique to get jaeger to lvl 2

[long spear]

his later quests are a real pain

[open basin]

ima get eod

[long spear]

first ones arent bad

[open basin]

ez lvl 2

[bold kernel]

anyone else having issues gettign teamkilled in this discord?

[long spear]

im pretty sure you can get them banned thats against the rules if im not mistaken @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

I was tk'd twice last night and they are literally baiting to wear higher tier gear and then they TK me

[long spear]

banned from the discord anyway

although i might be wrong

[open basin]

name drop em babyy

[bold kernel]

I have reported and know that a few were banned but it just feels liek its getting common now

[open basin]

i dont do teamplay with people i dont know

[bold kernel]

How can you know someone though? lol

sec im deploying,

[open basin]

psst im talking about friends

[bold kernel]

Sorry to interrupt fellas but I have an urgent question: If some of your body parts are blacked out and you step into barbed wire, do you die?

[long spear]

ive heard its possible you can die from that yes

[open basin]

damn

this is why you need jaeger

he gives you da goods

aka cms

[strange mural]

if you have single health thorax or head

[bold kernel]

not legs or arms?

[strange mural]

i mean

limbs themselves dfont cause death

[open basin]

try it out 😄

[strange mural]

afaik

[long spear]

any damage that takes head or thorax to 0 besides bleeding kills you

[strange mural]

yeah

you can also die if you run out of energy

[bold kernel]

Damn

[open basin]

bsg should give everyone a gamma container when they do a full release

[bold kernel]

Guess I really need that cms after all

[long spear]

no they shouldnt, i paid 100$ for mine ; )

[strange mural]

cms is always worth carrying

i mean
