[royal vale]

wtf

we all got the same thing

[zealous forge]

What's the best map to naked mosin people on?

[royal vale]

i had like 7 propane

[next phoenix]

I need some advice here, for guns in the game, what are some of the tips and tricks to win firefights? I always sort of struggle at those aspects.

[stone surge]

@zealous forge Woods or Shoreline

idk if you mean naked mosin killing others or you as mosin killing nakeds

[pseudo mural]

I think I just lost my big fuel tank =\

[stone surge]

but shoreline and woods are fine for either

[zealous forge]

I was thinking customs for some reason

[royal vale]

@long spear should i not go to raid?

[pseudo mural]

has anyone been able to exfil with loot?

[zealous forge]

And I meant the former

[pseudo mural]

in the past like 20 minutes?

[long spear]

@royal vale i would wait a few minutes it might show up,

[next phoenix]

What are some good beginner maps to learn and advance with?

[long spear]

that happened to me 2 days ago i think it was

[stone surge]

@next phoenix Customs for quests (but it's a horrible map imo)

[pseudo mural]

it just happened to like 4 of us at the same time crosstix

[stone surge]

I would highly advice learning interchange

[royal vale]

@next phoenix try interchange

[stone surge]

but it's really daunting to learn it

just keep at it

and you'll love it

[next phoenix]

Alrighty, ill scav it out.

[stone surge]

For sure

[royal vale]

@long spear should i restart game or smth?

[long spear]

i dont think that affects it

[pseudo mural]

Uh, so like, legit, has anyone exfil'd with loot in the past 20?

[long spear]

but you can try

[brazen owl]

Servers are having issues.

[royal vale]

for sure

[pseudo mural]

ya def

[brazen owl]

People in raid will probably get rolld back

[lapis mauve]

I killed 2 geared guys too, rip

[pseudo mural]

well that stinks, I just lost a fully kitted akms 😦

[stone surge]

i wonder if people that do labs

[brazen owl]

Some people reporting that their loot didnt show up or that their quests didnt complete

[stone surge]

get their keycard back

[pseudo mural]

ya, my loot didn't show CRF

[stone surge]

I was about to jump in one but i'll just wait then

[silk laurel]

bsg servers, moscow russia

[zealous forge]

Lmao

[royal vale]

I'll wait as well, i wanted to go loot interchange with junkbox but these server lags changed my mind

[pseudo mural]

ya, I wanna go run customs to get some more scavboy kills

but

[quick fern]

What mag goes with the sks

[lapis mauve]

Linked search

[brazen owl]

Either the loot will be rolled back, or after servers are up it will register and you'll receive the stuff. I don't think the 2nd option will happen though. Dont get your hopes up

[royal vale]

sad

[brazen owl]

I'm just practicing labs on offline while that

🙂

[stone surge]

@brazen owl did it give your keycard back?

[brazen owl]

I'm on offline

it always give it back

[stone surge]

oh I thought you did onl labs

ah Ic

[quick fern]

What mag goes with sks

[stone surge]

now discord is lagging too

[brazen owl]

Nah, I was lucky, got out of it before servers were down

[stone surge]

@quick fern Linked search it

[quick fern]

I already tried to search

[stone surge]

well then it shows you all the mags that fit in sks

[long spear]

are you level 5

calories

[quick fern]

Im level 2

[stone surge]

ahh

[hexed cipher]

is something wrong? i can't get into any game

[brazen owl]

Servers are probably having issues that affect the Flea Market

[lapis mauve]

You can’t buy mags till lvl 5 probably

[brazen owl]

SERVERS ARE HAVING ISSUES. @hexed cipher

[hexed cipher]

k thx

[stone surge]

@quick fern just try to get lvl 5 with whatever you have honestly

lvl 5 opens the flea market, you can then buy anything you want

[next phoenix]

KaminskyToday at 11:20 PM
Please be aware:
It seems the servers are having issues at the moment.
If you've been disconnected, your loot is very much gone.
Please log out of Tarkov and wait for the servers to recover

[stone surge]

till then ur limited so yea

[pseudo mural]

Yup

[pseudo mural]

figured that was it, rip 500k or so

[next phoenix]

any tips on low level to high level gear?

how to effectively use your kit?

[stone surge]

what do you mean low level to high level gear

[brazen owl]

Play slow Wskey, use cheap weapons

Focus on one map

[lapis mauve]

I would look up some videos tbh, there are some good ones

[fathom narwhal]

so are we having server issue atm?

[lapis mauve]

Yes

[brazen owl]

The weapon is just the platform, what matters is the bullet, buy good ammo always.

[hexed cipher]

use the scavs to get to know the map

[next phoenix]

like how to use a pistol, or manage an ak.

[hexed cipher]

and get some loot

[next phoenix]

to using something much like a m4a1

[quick fern]

Im doin ok

With servers

[stone surge]

@next phoenix Map knowledge #1 priority over guns, try to scav them out till you know the inns/outs -> try out a lot of guns, find what you like -> check out what ammo is good and fits your budget -> bring CMS kit / Salewa with you for healing -> Lower recoil of the gun you like whenever you have the money for it

[brazen owl]

Remember, guns dont matter, bullet does

[astral basin]

is there a lfg in this disc?

[stone surge]

#pvp-lfg

[brazen owl]

#521628660298678283 to unlock the lfg channel

[long spear]

the bot isnt working

a moderator will need to unlock it

[astral basin]

@brazen owl thanks, the channel hasnt been too intuitive.

[warm rover]

what's this for ? it's weird

[brazen owl]

The item or the upgrade?

[next phoenix]

https://gyazo.com/2e7d3ecb602e9be89123883a61eeb292 thats sorta evident

[warm rover]

the whole thing, the bonuses, what's it for ?

[stone surge]

Intelligence center is the core of your hideout. You need it lvl 2 for the bitcoin miner & scav case and it'll eventually give you some nice bonusses like (seen there) faster scav uptime, less flea taxes

for you

[brazen owl]

Well it makes your scav cooldown not be 20 minutes, so its less

And the quests will reward you more money when you complete them

[astral basin]

just played a game as scav, came out fully kitted. didnt get to take anything that i extracted out... is that normal?

[brazen owl]

I would say its a fairly good upgrade for your hideout

[warm rover]

oh so after I run with a scav the timer will be shorter for the next one right ?

[radiant hare]

is it normal that matching takes so long?

[stone surge]

Yes

[brazen owl]

@astral basin Servers are with issues right now. You probably lost everything.

[pseudo mural]

buy the intel form the Flea market

for like 30k

[brazen owl]

SERVERS WITH ISSUES. @radiant hare

[pseudo mural]

it lowers your scav timer

[radiant hare]

oh wack

[pseudo mural]

which is amazing

[brazen owl]

Yes @warm rover

[radiant hare]

i just installed

rip

[brazen owl]

rip

This is uncommon though

[pseudo mural]

This is uncommon ya

[brazen owl]

Almost 1 month playing, first time I see this happening

[pseudo mural]

15 days here never had it happen before

[warm rover]

That's awesome!

[neat spruce]

tarkov is getting popular

[brazen owl]

[radiant hare]

any like

[brazen owl]

Yah 11k spectators on twitch

[radiant hare]

eta on when its coming back up?

[pseudo mural]

you can still play offline darknins

[brazen owl]

No ETA though

[pseudo mural]

which your gonna wanna do as a new player

[stone surge]

Dude, remember black friday about a month ago?

servers went to shit

[pseudo mural]

learn exfils

[stone surge]

lol

[pseudo mural]

learn the game

[brazen owl]

I got on black friday

[radiant hare]

i c

[pseudo mural]

offline mode is amazing for beginners.

you dont get to keep the loot but

[radiant hare]

is it just like pve

[stone surge]

black friday overloaded the servers for a week

[pseudo mural]

you will die every raid for the first 20 or so if you dont try offline a few times

[stone surge]

prob still are.

[pseudo mural]

gotta learn exfils

[brazen owl]

well but they didnt crash, they were just full and laggy

[radiant hare]

i c

[brazen owl]

Darknins, when possible, read #521628660298678283 and ask a discord moderator to give you the PMC role.

[warm rover]

It's almost 7AM and I am totally consumed by this game...

[pseudo mural]

yup

[brazen owl]

Executex germany?

[pseudo mural]

1231 here and Ive been playing for 2 weeks straight 5-8 hours a day

[stone surge]

it's 6 in germany

[warm rover]

Macedonia

[pseudo mural]

i have a lot of free time

[brazen owl]

oh nice

[warm rover]

same time

[astral basin]

i mean i exfiled the first like 5 times in the game with a map on my 2nd monitor, its not hard. just gotta take it slow

[brazen owl]

Indeed, playing slow is a good idea

[pseudo mural]

awesome man, that's a great plan, rushing in without an idea of where your going though isnt helpful i dont think

[astral basin]

its not like other fps

[warm rover]

same, with 3 monitors.. xD

[pseudo mural]

you needa map, and try to learn the exfil

[stone surge]

the moment you start to get more experience and more familiar with the map

you'll play more aggressive

but as you learn, slow is the way

[brazen owl]

Focus on one or 2 maps

[astral basin]

ive already played aggro. coming from pubg and apex

[brazen owl]

Woods is one of the easiest maps on my opinion, if you avoid the center.

[stone surge]

aggro is actually strong on tarkov

[astral basin]

i just have been playing customs so i know it like the back of my hand

[stone surge]

in CQB that is

[pseudo mural]

there seems to be a slight advantage on CQB with aggro

[stone surge]

in general the aggressor wins in my experience.

[pseudo mural]

the person rushing seems to have the advantage always

[warm rover]

The quests require you to go to all maps so you gotta focus on all of em anyway

[stone surge]

(the one that peeks)

[brazen owl]

Customs sometimes is hell, because of the chokepoints.

[pseudo mural]

camping doesnt really help much

on customs atleast

[astral basin]

ive noticed, but im running around with just a pistol

[brazen owl]

Customs can be campers paradise if you know how to do it

I've seen 5 man teams holding the 4 bridges

[astral basin]

i usually push shots

[stone surge]

Nearly all games (including tarkov) have peekers advantage further making aggressive plays strong in CQB

[zealous forge]

Camp bridges

[pseudo mural]

ya

thats why I run stupid guns like the PP19 and shotguns 😛

[brazen owl]

Some days bridge campers are just as common as factory extract campers

[zealous forge]

I've gotten a hatchling running away from dorms marked room with a p90

He ran right into me as I was watching customs

[pseudo mural]

also, running 2-3 lights on a shotgun is hilarious

looks like a friggin laserbeam

[astral basin]

so i bought the game yesterday

curious, does anyone ever do a full load out as pmc?

[pseudo mural]

yes

all the time

[zealous forge]

Yes but definitely not on the first day

[pseudo mural]

first couple days, just pistol/scav

[brazen owl]

yes i do fupcake, usually when im with friends

[stone surge]

yes

i only run 500k+ loadout tbh

[zealous forge]

Just scav run interchange and customs for a bit or use pistols

[pseudo mural]

once you get above 500-600k you can easily punch a good gun with 30-40k

[brazen owl]

when im solo i go ak iron sights, paca and ssh helmet

[pseudo mural]

solo I go with mosin+7n1

[astral basin]

the iron sights in this game are kinda garbage imo

[pseudo mural]

+armored vest, ssh and iron sights

[astral basin]

esp with it on full auto

[zealous forge]

7n1 is overpen I'm pretty sure

[brazen owl]

you get used to it

[stone surge]

It just depends how your money making is tbh

Like if you roll a lot with 500k+ loadout

[brazen owl]

i've been using iron sights on all games that ADS, so i'm okay with that

[stone surge]

you need to make 500k+ back before you die

on average

[zealous forge]

And use at least lvl 3 or 4

[astral basin]

i couldnt even imagine a 500k loadout atm

[pseudo mural]

7n1 gives you a chance to drop dude swith t4 helms/t3 faceshields

which is hilarious when your a mosin boy

[stone surge]

500k loadout isn't even 'special'

if you jump into shoreline resort or reserve

[brazen owl]

mosin is great and its the personification of: gun doesnt matter, bullet does

[stone surge]

there's nearly always atleast 1 or 2

with 500k+ risk

[astral basin]

interesting

[stone surge]

because armor itself is already 100k easily

[rocky ocean]

would you guys recommend using 5.45x39 mm BS (40 / 51 armor pen) or 5.45x39 mm 7N39 (37 / 62 armor pen) it looks like the first one is kinda better? because of the higher flesh damage

[stone surge]

bullets another 50-100k with mag

[vagrant igloo]

anyone trying to play

[brazen owl]

i've seen FALs that are 500k

[vagrant igloo]

^

[pseudo mural]

normal loadout I'm seeing on customs for peeps rushing dorms is 300-600k

[astral basin]

oof

[brazen owl]

@rocky ocean BS if you're not going to face lvl 6 armor dudes

[pseudo mural]

+80k in mags

[stone surge]

The thing is, 500k loadout looks like a lot

[pseudo mural]

its not

[zealous forge]

@rocky ocean latter is better more it's super expensive

[stone surge]

but add up mags, meds, bullets, helmet, armor, riggs

and you're easily risking 500k+

[pseudo mural]

270k gen4, 70k helmet, 30k comtacs, 200k gun

500k instantly

[stone surge]

ye

and that's not even talking about

the ~200 ammo

you risk

[pseudo mural]

100k gun+100k mags if your cheap

[rocky ocean]

i will go with bs should be enough for now

[pseudo mural]

3 60 round mags of 955 is how much?

[stone surge]

955 is overkill for all maps but labs tbf

[brazen owl]

goki if i were you i would mix BT and BS, unless you're going to face some high geared dudes, BT does the work

[stone surge]

I would avoid BT

[zealous forge]

60 round mags are overkill

[stone surge]

but that's me

[pseudo mural]

it's what I'm constantly pulling out of peeps mags Veyx

[stone surge]

Rather BP than BT for 5.45

[zealous forge]

That's like 40k+ just in the mags

[brazen owl]

some people dont like tracers because they work both ways

BP sucks ass for 5.45

[pseudo mural]

legit, most of what im seeing in customs dorm is 2 60 rounders+30 round pmag, with 955

[brazen owl]

if you dont like BT go BS

but BP is horrible horrible

[stone surge]

BT and BP are not even that different Lol

BP has more flesh damage

BT slightly more pen

and you get tracer

[brazen owl]

most people use lvl 4 armor

[pseudo mural]

I run a lot at night though

[brazen owl]

BP has issues with that

[stone surge]

BS just beats both, I wouldn't want BT or BP eitherway

[pseudo mural]

and BT pens t4

[stone surge]

but BT is just a no-no

for me

Why does BT pen tier 4

and BP not?

[brazen owl]

indeed, BT pens lvl 4 with no problem, BP doesnt, if you go night, then go BS

[stone surge]

BT doesn't pen tier 4 100% of the time either

[brazen owl]

nikita logic @stone surge

[pseudo mural]

ya, I try not to take BT cuz I do a lot at night

[stone surge]

neither does BP

[pseudo mural]

but BT pens t4 a lot easier than BP it feel slike

maybe it's just anecdotal

[brazen owl]

Its not anedoctal

you can test with a friend

rip friend though

[stone surge]

it's 1 bullet difference

[pseudo mural]

i've bounced a bunch of BP before, BT generally doesn't bounce as much for me

[stone surge]

and you get less flesh damage in return

[brazen owl]

i've bounced BP on my face shields so many times

[pseudo mural]

Yup, that's usually what happens to me

[stone surge]

Any bullet can bounce on faceshield

so urgh

[brazen owl]

I laugh when i see ppl running BP on 5.45 thinking its the same as 7.62

less likely on BS

[pseudo mural]

it's why I normally run BT in customs day

[stone surge]

still possible.

[brazen owl]

BT is the bullet to go for if you're poor

If you can afford, BS

If you're luxurious, go igolnik

[stone surge]

please dont say igolnik is better than BS though

[pseudo mural]

if your poor, learn to use a vepr hunter or a mosin

[brazen owl]

lol igolnik is best

[stone surge]

yikes and there ur wrong

takes 3 bodyshots to kill someone

BS 2

[lapis mauve]

7n39 is bad

[brazen owl]

ok, i never face no one lvl 6

you guys are right

bs is the bullet to go for

[stone surge]

^

[lapis mauve]

2 headshots too if they have good helmet

[pseudo mural]

ya man, I'm not sure if your running dorms lately

[stone surge]

but even vs tier 5-6

[brazen owl]

i found one guy lvl 6 so far, inside resort

[stone surge]

ignolnik is not good

[pseudo mural]

but I'm finding a lot of dudes in T5

[brazen owl]

its tactec

bs does good against tactec

[lapis mauve]

Bs pens lvl 5 91%

[brazen owl]

everyone running Tactec nowadays

from customs to labs

[pseudo mural]

ya I have like...9 tactecs in stash atm from customs

+5 altyns

[brazen owl]

use them before they get nerfed

[pseudo mural]

I have been

I take em into factory

the repair cost on them is awesome lol

[stone surge]

they got buffed about a week ago so i doubt they'll get nerfed anytime soon

[brazen owl]

cries in ceramic armor

[stone surge]

maybe in price

[pseudo mural]

i'm expecting repair to go up

[brazen owl]

everyone is using it

the price is inflated

it was 100k some days ago

now its above 130k

[stone surge]

it was more OP before the buff tbh

60k for tier 5

[pseudo mural]

everyones using it cuz the repair is so cheap and doesn't take a bunch off

+high tier

[lapis mauve]

It’s just Killa armor with less durability and no stomach protection

[brazen owl]

plus need no rig

[stone surge]

but rig is small

[lapis mauve]

True

[stone surge]

that's the downside

[pseudo mural]

ya

[brazen owl]

they compensate on backpack

[open basin]

lmfao all my mosins came back

[stone surge]

No

[pseudo mural]

all my mosins always come back

[stone surge]

you can't compensate rig on backpack

because rig = ammo

[pseudo mural]

sans optics

[brazen owl]

ppl just use 60 rounders anyway veyx

its not like they're running with 300 bullets

[lapis mauve]

At least a big rig is only 30k

[pseudo mural]

i mean..I carry a lot of mags and keep them topped up at all times

[stone surge]

@brazen owl what about VSS though

[pseudo mural]

3 mags+keeping it topped

[brazen owl]

thats one point

[stone surge]

I wouldn't wanna run a tactec with VSS

like

in no way

[pseudo mural]

i am constantly filling mags lol

[brazen owl]

indeed, would probably get a bigger rig with vss too

[open basin]

are servers down

[brazen owl]

or anything that doesnt got big mags

[stone surge]

but tactec is good

[brazen owl]

yes @open basin

[stone surge]

but it was 60k for tier 5 before the buff 🙂

[open basin]

smh bsg

[stone surge]

and now you pay 100k+

[pseudo mural]

dude, I got a val two nights ago off some guy

from our runs so we're just pasting it in here 😛

[wicked falcon]

y'all hear about the tier 7 armor

[brazen owl]

Sniper button?

[pseudo mural]

Veyx, the G502SE has a button that lowers my DPI to 250 from 5400

[brazen owl]

I`m just trying to do my quest

[pseudo mural]

it's momentary

[brazen owl]

Gotta kill 10 PMCS on factory at the offices

[pseudo mural]

you just hold it and it keeps the DPI lower until you let go

legit helps so much setting up shots

[stone surge]

oh tagged wrong person sorry

[brazen owl]

@wicked falcon tier 7 armor is not getting seen

[pseudo mural]

T7 armor better be spacesuits with space force patches that say "Space Shuttle Door Gunner"

[near flame]

Would it be efficient to use a adar as a longrange sniper or should i stick with the DVL?

[stone surge]

you could

[pseudo mural]

Apple have you tried our lord and savoir SVDS?

[lapis mauve]

If you hit heads Adar works

[stone surge]

@near flame Maybe TX-15 would suit you

if you wanna be fancy

[past lodge]

So, right, me and a friend who just got the game a couple hours ago were on Customs and we got ganked by a guy near extract, but all our stuff is still on our PMCs and we can't seem to find matches for Scav or PMC raids

[stone surge]

it's super satisfying, the gunsound that is

[pseudo mural]

SVDS is where it's at for me atleast. Absolutely adore that gun

[brazen owl]

@past lodge

Please be aware:
It seems the servers are having issues at the moment.

Please log out of Tarkov and wait for the servers to recover```

[near flame]

what are the benefits of tx-15 vs adar?

[past lodge]

did we get some sort of bug? what's the process for this sort of thing.

[brazen owl]

read above

[past lodge]

@brazen owl thanks

[stone surge]

@near flame tx-15 you can buy and don't need to mod

can just put scope on it

and it just has better stats than adar (accuracy/recoil)

[neat spruce]

Anyone know how to attach the silencer to the mp5? This is for Gunsmith pt 3.

[pseudo mural]

dt mount

[stone surge]

adar is also more expensive if you mod it to be similar to tx-15

[near flame]

i see

[wicked falcon]

are teh servers up yet

[pseudo mural]

think thats the one required for the gunsmith quest

[wicked falcon]

the*

[near flame]

so if im full modding a adar it would just be better to buy a tx-15

[stone surge]

yes

[brazen owl]

carl i`m trying to connect and re-trying every few minutes, no success so far

[stone surge]

Imo yes 100%

[pseudo mural]

yessir

[stone surge]

TX-15 is my favorite gun so maybe i'm biased

[pseudo mural]

it's better to buy than build for most stuff

cuz cheaper

[bronze oak]

anyone having trouble getting into factory? i can't get into a match

[near flame]

ill give it a shot

[stone surge]

but having made a <50 recoil TX-15 and Adar

the adar is more expensive

killerwhale I had two teapots a dbronze lion and an m4 😦

CRF, I feel like it'll be "kill 10 PMC's while dead with grenades"

[lapis mauve]

I killed 2 geared guys and dc’d right when extract timer hit 0

[brazen owl]

thats getting too jihadi for my taste

[pseudo mural]

now that I said that...i fear they may do that

[stone surge]

@brazen owl Imagine being a mercenary for hire and you have to kill someone for your boss and he asks you to shoot yourself in the leg and then assassinate your target

[brazen owl]

HAHAH

[stone surge]

that's the boss jeager is

[brazen owl]

indeed

[pseudo mural]

Dude, I worked as a PMC for 4 years

[brazen owl]

''headshot someone with no guns''

[pseudo mural]

my boss mostly told me not to eat as many MRE's cuz he had to sleep in the same barracks as me 🙂

[stone surge]

Make sure you have a terrible headache and lost an eye and then kill your target, do not kill him before you lost your eye !

idk his quests are dumb

but the community agrees on that lol

[brazen owl]

''kill 5 pmcs same match, using knife, while blind and in pain. Rewards: 1 Scav vest, 5k rubles, 1 Makarov, -0.1 Skier Rep"

[warm wraith]

tf do i do, i have only ever played tarkov like twice and i havent played for like 3-4 months

[pseudo mural]

if you dont have reshade you can just login Ty

[brazen owl]

oh shiet

[pseudo mural]

if you have reshade you need to delete the file it says

[stone surge]

@warm wraith thats for reshade users

[warm wraith]

well shit ok fair enough thx

[brazen owl]

didnt even read lol

[warm wraith]

well wtf is reshade

[stone surge]

it makes your game brighter

[pseudo mural]

You probably dont have it then

just click play

[warm wraith]

well how tf i turn it off?

[stone surge]

they banned using it

[pseudo mural]

although servers are currently..downish

[stone surge]

if you dont have it

then you can't turn it off

😛

[pseudo mural]

that message shows wether you have reshade or not

[warm wraith]

cuzi was able to play before

[stone surge]

everyone sees the massage

[pseudo mural]

just click play

[stone surge]

message*

so just ignore it

[pseudo mural]

if the game loads, then your good

[warm wraith]

will the game work later?

[stone surge]

yes

if you have reshade on

the game will tell you

[pseudo mural]

yes, it's just a server hiccup, you hsould still be able to login though

[brisk mortar]

It seems the servers are having issues at the moment.
If you've been disconnected, your loot is very much gone.
Please log out of Tarkov and wait for the servers to recover

[pseudo mural]

try pressing play

[warm wraith]

oh i can like get on the game

[pseudo mural]

ya then your fine, servers are just down

[warm wraith]

im fine but i kept trying to load and it took like 10 mins each

[stone surge]

then ur fine, but on another note servers are half down/scuffed atm

[warm wraith]

so i came here

[pseudo mural]

ya, servers are nomnom'd

[warm wraith]

and though that could be it but thanks bois

[pseudo mural]

How exactly do I log out if I'm stuck at the exit screen for a raid with an error Kam?

just alt+f4?

[brisk mortar]

Yup, just Alt-F4

The less people we have trying to connect to the servers while their dying

[pseudo mural]

Okay, maybe CRF and I are holding the servers up

[brisk mortar]

the better.

[radiant hare]

servers good?

[stone surge]

Nope

[warm wraith]

no

[radiant hare]

f

[warm wraith]

they're fucked im hearing :/

[radiant hare]

rip

[brisk mortar]

It seems the servers are having issues at the moment.
If you've been disconnected, your loot is very much gone.
Please log out of Tarkov and wait for the servers to recover

[brazen owl]

slowly you're EU or NA?

[pseudo mural]

CRF, it's time to give up, alt+f4

I'm NA

[brazen owl]

yep, i accepted i wont finish this quest today

[pseudo mural]

same

byebye spacegat m4

[brazen owl]

probably someone is freaking out because they're 50 minutes into matching

[pseudo mural]

i'll miss you ❤️

[warm wraith]

also is anyone down to help out a noob find their way 'round tarkov when this gets fixed?

btw dont have a mic rn but buying one on christmas

[stone surge]

EU or NA?

[pseudo mural]

i was so excited for my spacegat!

[warm wraith]

or "getting one"

im na

[stone surge]

honestly w/o mic teaming up is almost impossible to do

the in-game voice lines are so.. minimal

you'd have to be quite experienced to properly play with that

[warm wraith]

ik ik but i am getting a mic with an arm stand

[pseudo mural]

ya

[brazen owl]

ok i'll tell something to you guys and you folks wont believe, my friend was playing with me using ./tts on discord because his mic broke

[warm wraith]

so anyone down to play After christmas when i have a set up mic?

[stone surge]

if you lost your teammate, there's no way finding him back

if you don't have mic xd

[pseudo mural]

Crf, a friend of mine plays with TTS on his phone thru discord

🙂

[stone surge]

jesus

Lol

[brazen owl]

get him a mic!

[pseudo mural]

I did

it's enroute to his house lol

[brazen owl]

thats great

[pseudo mural]

bought him the same one as me+mic arm

[brazen owl]

we had the same friend then probably

[stone surge]

that's like those people that stream with a phone that records the mirror that looks at them

[brazen owl]

thats some McGyver type of thing

[warm wraith]

actually anyone down to play tho after christmas i really wanna get into this game

[pseudo mural]

I bought him a blue blackout

🤷

Veyx I have a friend that runs discord voice on his phone

because he blew out all his USBs on his PC 😛

[stone surge]

@warm wraith you dont like solo?

[warm wraith]

hell no

[brazen owl]

@warm wraith There are Sherpas and #pvp-lfg where you can find people

[stone surge]

as solo i'm most immersed personally

[inland mesa]

yo can someone give me a redcard i give sucky sucky to footie or peepee

[warm wraith]

not realy on any game

really*

[brazen owl]

Sherpas are experienced players willing to help newbies

You can see them on the discord here, they got green names and the @.Sherpa tag

[warm wraith]

mk dope ill ask them bout stuff when i get my mic, anyway cya guys yall were cool can i add u Veyx? i feel like if i have issues ur a good person to ask

if i cant get other help

[stone surge]

yea sure

[warm wraith]

dope

[deep temple]

probably stupid question but do you sell mags with ammo in them or without?

[stone surge]

without

[brazen owl]

i unload the bullets

because some dealers buy mags for better price, others buy bullets for better price

[stone surge]

bullets can be more expensive than the mag on flea

[brazen owl]

and besides that, some bullets are really expensive and you can profit on Flea Market

[pseudo mural]

i always try to check mags if i'm looting

if i have a chance

[deep temple]

oh okay, cheers guys... wasn't sure if I was losing money or not

[stone surge]

ye selling mag+ammo to a trader is not a good idea w/o checking

[pseudo mural]

i found 180 rounds of ap63 earlier thats what made me make the Pp19

[stone surge]

and 60round mags are quite expensive

on flea

[radiant hare]

how to play offline

[stone surge]

click next, next when u selected a map

till "play offline" option is there

[pseudo mural]

click pmc, then next then next, then "enable offline mode"

[stone surge]

tick it, then click next

[radiant hare]

ah

[warm wraith]

can u play scav offline mode?

[pseudo mural]

escape from tarkov>pmc>next at map screen>enable offline+enable pve>next

[stone surge]

In offline mode loot is also there, so if you wanna learn a map

it could be a way to learn it

and check where some loot is

[pseudo mural]

yup thats what I do for each new map I wanna learn

[stone surge]

(although loot spawns random so)

[warm wraith]

can u play as scav in offline mode?

[brazen owl]

no

[warm wraith]

mk

[brazen owl]

only as PMC

[pseudo mural]

couple offline runs to check exfils and loot spots via lootmaps

[warm wraith]

mk cool well ima go try it cya bois

[stone surge]

GL

[brazen owl]

my turn to ask stuff now

how do i aim with the grenade launcher gun at Reserve?

[deep temple]

okay I just found suppressor and it's not on the market, how do I know how much it's worth?

[stone surge]

no clue either, I just shoot randomly with it

it never seems to hit on my crosshair

never really bothered with learning the grenade launcher actually

[brazen owl]

ever killed someone with it?

[stone surge]

Lol I wish

[brazen owl]

i only got a scav once

and it was AI

[stone surge]

prob scavs yea

but idk I don't play reserve too much either

i'm a labs & shoreline player

and interchange to mix it up

[brazen owl]

you're NA or EU?

[stone surge]

EU

[brazen owl]

dude i've been going Shoreline at NA, all i see are hatchlings and pistol dudes

dont know if its the same on EU

[stone surge]

there's quite some hatchlings, but they usually die anyways

80% of the time

[brazen owl]

do you have any route for the resort?

[stone surge]

I face altyn/airframe people

[brazen owl]

damn you're lucky then

i was some good pvp inside resort

want*

[stone surge]

I litterly have itemcases full of airframes

just from shoreline resort Lol

[pseudo mural]

Haha, shoreline earlier

I ran into two streamers

fighting each other

[stone surge]

@brazen owl the route is pretty standard, because you do ledx rooms generally (and some inbetween)

[pseudo mural]

one killed one, the other died to a scav, I killed the scav and took all their stuff

[stone surge]

east is most contested since it has the most doors

[brazen owl]

what are these rooms? if thats not asking too much

I've been running around 2nd floor trying to find pvp

the only time i found someone geared was outside, by the antenna

[stone surge]

East: 107, 206, 226, 313, 314, 316, 328 is what i do

then I go to the west and do 205 & 218

[brazen owl]

ok thanks

[stone surge]

also in east I check 218 for red keycard

and on west basement for red keycard

[brazen owl]

west basement is gym?

[stone surge]

Yes

[brazen owl]

got it

thanks a lot

[stone surge]

oh and 104 on west I do aswell

the room that I found most ledx in is (I believe) 226

on east

sometimes even multiple runs in a row

[brazen owl]

is that the one with the blood splatter?

[stone surge]

idk that one seems to have a higher spawnrate but couldbe luck idk

ehh

it's the one where you open the door

and then you have to close the door

to see inside a closet

[brazen owl]

hmm i'll check it on offline

[stone surge]

i think it's east 226

as a map I love interchange the most

but I don't see geared players there often

and the lack of pvp there generally draws me to shoreline and labs (if im looking for pvp that is)

[daring ember]

KEK the artwork submissions

some of yall mofos are hungry af huh

[radiant hare]

so

is it online yet

[daring ember]

🤔 ?

[rocky ocean]

i started to mod my weapons with the stuff i had found from raids and just tried this thing out in offline mode with bs ammo OH MY GAWD this thing goes through armor like butter

one tapped lvl 4 helmets o.O

[lapis mauve]

Can 1 tap lvl 5 too

[brazen owl]

yep BS is the boolet

expensive but worth it

[rocky ocean]

definitly

[daring ember]

Tarkov is/was down apparently ? 🤔

[rocky ocean]

im really impressed also of the recoil

because i have only played stock rifles so far except for mosin or sks for sniping

[brazen owl]

KaminskyToday at 11:20 PM
Please be aware:
It seems the servers are having issues at the moment.
If you've been disconnected, your loot is very much gone.
Please log out of Tarkov and wait for the servers to recover

@daring ember

[daring ember]

@brazen owl nice thx, where did u see that ?

its not in #eft-announcements

[brazen owl]

it was eft-chat i guess

[daring ember]

hmm

[rocky ocean]

im off now almost 8am here 😅

thanks to everyone ❤️

[ripe basin]

Make sense. I have been trying to get my SCAV into factory for about 15min now. I was only on 4 servers so I turned on auto select best server and I'm in queue again at 9min so far

[brisk mortar]

@daring ember
I'm reposting that every now and again, Servers are indeed down at the moment.

[daring ember]

@brisk mortar nice thx

Saw it on Grimmz stream title

that works too I guess

[astral basin]

server busted? been in queue 5 mins

[inland mesa]

all servers are down ): u can do offline raid tho no one knows when its back up

@astral basin

[prisma girder]

anyone know what i can do fix the coloration of this game

now that reshade is banned?

[frozen cradle]

please specify

I do not use reshade and have no problems with the game

[prisma girder]

the colors are very dull

[steady pilot]

So

[prisma girder]

all streamers have vibrant games

[steady pilot]

You doubt nikita vision

[prisma girder]

idk how they do it

[steady pilot]

Nikita gives you a beautiful game

[prisma girder]

i just like it more colorful?

[steady pilot]

Fornite is on the epic launcher

[prisma girder]

fortnite is shite

[frozen cradle]

@prisma girder open your Nvidia control panel, and adjust your colors to your convenience, done!

[steady pilot]

Muh vibrant colorz

[prisma girder]

not wanting to cheat

[steady pilot]

Hey gave plenty of saturation from 11.7 to .12

This game gives a great rustic Chernobyl vibe

[open basin]

im fine with the graphics

except for when it's raining and foggy lmfao

[steady pilot]

But that's very immersive to irl too

[open basin]

more indoor maps then 😄

[frozen cradle]

weather conditions and game settings/colors are two different things

not related to each other

[ripe basin]

@prisma girder Do you have an nvidia card? I use the game filters to up my sharpness, brightness, vibrance and other tweaks.

[steady pilot]

[radiant hare]

um

how to play offline

[tropic wagon]

@radiant hare pick your pmc and proceed like going into raid, hit next and not ready, it will take you to an offline mode where you can pick PVE modes

[radiant hare]

ty senor

[ripe basin]

Can anyone recommend a good pistol build/ammo for 1 tap ? The cheapest the better

[steady pilot]

veprkm]

cost 13k

cheap and effective round 👌

[scarlet breach]

ty

And what's the best ammo to add cooling holes to friendly helmets?

[bronze oak]

Ppl are still saying servers are fucked?

[supple oak]

hey umm when will i be able to upgrade my secure container?

[bold kernel]

can someone tell me how to git gud

[weary badge]

Do both sides (not including scavs) spawn at the same time on opposite points of the map?

Or does everyone spawn at random times

[fickle kettle]

i got leg potential

oh snap wrong game

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel play

[bold kernel]

new years event hasn't been announced yet

last year they announced it on the 18th

[rose echo]

@bold kernel

[bold kernel]

ye i hope so

i told my friend about trial codes

[steady pilot]

Typically they do new years specials so yeh

if not christmas.

[scarlet folio]

why do people call 6B43 zabralo fort?

[steady pilot]

Because that was it was originally referred to as

It was like you were a walking fort. Redut armor was just recently added and was given the fort mame too

And fort has been so common and used quite a bit its easier than saying 6b43

[scarlet folio]

okay great thanks

[steady pilot]

Np anytime. @scarlet folio got any other questions

[scarlet folio]

nope thats it ill be sure to ask here though if i do thansk

[steady pilot]

[strange mural]

Its called fort because of the popular battleroyale type game fortnite

[gray mountain]

lol

Time to die trying to kill shturman again pepehands

[strange mural]

Are you going at night?

[gray mountain]

no

[strange mural]

Thats your mistake then

Go at night and bring a silencer

Ai is dumb dumb

[grave helm]

Anyone got a Adar 2-15 build for long range fights?

[feral gorge]

I recommend not using an Adar for long rnage

[strange mural]

Adar can easily do long range

Its just all about the scope

Then you just fit in a blend of ergo and recoil that fits your taste

[grave helm]

goddamn playing woods is so scary

I dont know where the fuck I am or where to go but somehow I found a an extract point

[strange mural]

Look for any indwntifiable locations, walls rocks, water or buildings

And correlate these to get your location

[grave helm]

I just followed the water even tho I wanted to fight pmc's I haven't seen one while running towards the shots

[vagrant mirage]

I killed someone with 0.2 bitcoins

what do I do with that

[grave helm]

sell

or use yourself

[gray mountain]

The only shots around lumber mill this round seemed to be mine

everyone was fighting in the woods east of lumber mill for some reason

I have 3.8 mil do I go all in and upgrade stash?

[grave helm]

I just need fucking jaeger goddamn. Im lvl 17 close to 18 and havent unlocked him yet

[gray mountain]

Oh you lvl 18 to unlock him?

[grave helm]

@gray mountain depends how skilled you are 😛 go all out and farm dog tags

no you get to unlock him thro tasks

[gray mountain]

yes I know

I have him

I just dont know the requirements for the task

[royal vale]

they need to add more use of dogtags

[gray mountain]

It just showed up one day

[surreal gull]

anyone OCE?

[grave helm]

severs down or what is happening to me

[gray mountain]

seems to be working for me

[grave helm]

nvm

[hoary lion]

ugh

how do pepole always run and see others

stay alive easily

while i am getting shot from the back

neary everytime i go on woods

[grave helm]

You need to know all the locations for good sniping spots otherwise youre fucked on woods (seems like to me)

[strange mural]

@royal vale there is a quest for 10 usec and bear dogtacs

Adams is right

But even then you can just get fucked randomly

[silver dome]

guys

whats the best rig?

to wear over armor

that has the most psace

[plucky goblet]

most space either Blackrock or mk3 probably

[silver dome]

LOL

i didnt even know that

[bold kernel]

[royal vale]

[ember oak]

[grave helm]

@silver dome I feel you man I didnt know I had 9m in my stash even tho I feel broke af

[silver dome]

😄

[meager girder]

what late game container will be most useful for me to purchase first? (sicc thicc etc)

[royal vale]

sicc pretty good

i'd say must have if you using keys

[ebon ice]

Anyone want to team up? I'm fairly new and would like to learn from others. I'm not after much loot, just want to learn.
I'm not bad at gun fights.

[bold kernel]

Is there a way to make your backup mount switch sides?

[plucky goblet]

nope

[bold kernel]

Damn that's too bad

So i'd have to chuck on a different riflescope to fix this?

[untold urchin]

some long range scopes allow you to mount on top, i'm not sure which exactly

[vernal anchor]

Yep

You just need a different mount to put other sights on them

[untold urchin]

sorry, you can mount a red dot on some scopes

[plucky goblet]

oi @vernal anchor

[waxen forge]

Bravo / Hamr

[plucky goblet]

why is slow mode in general and eft chat

[vernal anchor]

Not anymore

[plucky goblet]

hm

why was it

[vernal anchor]

People were being not good while servers were down

[plucky goblet]

oh

yeah, okay, who wouldve seen that coming

[vernal anchor]

And the bsg boys were asleep so we couldnt make any official announcements

[rich cloak]

Bruh

I keep dying to glukar and the bois

[waxen forge]

So they are being "not good"

[silver dome]

steam winter sale is ON

[bold kernel]

wow

it's been 2 days @silver dome

[silver dome]

oh

[bold kernel]

still waiting for tarkov sale

[plucky goblet]

unfortunately there's nothing interesting in the sale except rdr2 which i can get cheaper elsewhere even without sale

[silver dome]

oh lol

kebab dont u already have eft

[plucky goblet]

maybe he wants to upgrade

[lone hazel]

i need sale to come by

so its easier to convince friends into getting the game

many doubt when i say tripple A price, for a beta

[untold urchin]

sale just happened on black friday unfortunately

[lone hazel]

xD

[bold kernel]

@lone hazel literally

the new years sale

is right around the corner

it should happen around the 28th december

and ppl were given trial codes for friends

the last time new year sales happened

[royal vale]

where can i choose servers?

[lone hazel]

when you launch the game

before u press play

above the play button there is some text you can click, should be selfexplanatory if you read it

[royal vale]

thanks

[lone hazel]

👌

[silver dome]

wtf

what other key do i need?

[waxen forge]

Kiba 1 & 2

[silver dome]

how much is 2

[bright stump]

This one (I think?). You will get it from a gunsmith mechanic quest.

[lone hazel]

store outlet 1,6m // grate door 115k

@silver dome

[silver dome]

oh

cheap

[hoary lion]

guys

[silver dome]

what goodies spawn in kiba?

[hoary lion]

how can i mount a different stock on AKMSN?

lots of weapon mods

weapons

grenades

[lone hazel]

@hoary lion click it and use either the preset menu or linked search

it will show whats compatable

[hoary lion]

only shows me the basic one

i need an adapter

dont know which one

[lone hazel]

linked search it

[hoary lion]

cant find any

and i doubt it cant cuz i have another AKM with modded stock

[lone hazel]

hope in #beginners-assistance vc and show me

if it dosn't show up in preset edit

it dosn't exist

[trail narwhal]

When you link it. Make sure no other searches are active

[plucky goblet]

AKMSN only got the wire stock

[waxen forge]

^

[plucky goblet]

you can put a GP25 pad on it but that's it

[silver dome]

who want free food

[rich cloak]

Yeah the difference akms has is the hole for the wire stock but that's about it

[bold kernel]

Any Sherpas willing to guide a low lvl player

[trail narwhal]

I didn’t know killa would kill be as a scav

[blissful trench]

King Cheeki gives no breeki about who you are

[trail narwhal]

I put a clip in his chest. He the sprinted Slid and pow

[lone hazel]

@bold kernel not a offical sherpa but i can answer any questions you have in beginners assistance vc.

[hoary lion]

good lad^

[silver dome]

is it worth hatchet running kiba

[waxen forge]

No

[silver dome]

why

[bold kernel]

I just struggle with money management as well as just building up good budget loadouts

[hoary lion]

you wont make it to kiba most likely

[waxen forge]

You will probably die before you get in

[hoary lion]

yea

dont even try to hatchet anything duide

[silver dome]

i made it without any interactions last raid

but i forgot the other key

:d

[waxen forge]

Then why ask

[bold kernel]

huh

[hoary lion]

is 7.62 BP worth the investment?

or PS is fine

[bold kernel]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jjWcIue0_PCsbLQAiL5VrIulPK8SzM5jjiCMx9zUuvE/htmlview?sle=true#gid=64053005

[lone hazel]

@hoary lion ps is fine for scav hunting

[hoary lion]

so no need to rush for 7.62 BP i'd say

[lone hazel]

unless ur in labs

[hoary lion]

looks like it would stick fine against lvl 4 armor

[bold kernel]

it does

if you make your shots count

[hoary lion]

yep

[silver dome]

made it to kiba and found this 😄

[hoary lion]

nice :D

check its stats

[silver dome]

why

[lone hazel]

the new raider vals looking dope tho

[hoary lion]

see if its worht it

ergonomics/recoil

[silver dome]

74 recoil

[hoary lion]

and horizontal?

[silver dome]

idk just died 😄

[hoary lion]

rip

[silver dome]

[hoary lion]

[silver dome]

[hoary lion]

hatchet running is boring man

[silver dome]

Clappa ... scav raider?

[hoary lion]

i did it only once when i was broke

[silver dome]

nah i just hatchet runned once

[hoary lion]

no

[silver dome]

i got 4.5 mill

[hoary lion]

scavs always have

[bold kernel]

@silver dome check...

wiki?

[hoary lion]

double names

like

first + last

i mean

[bold kernel]

@hoary lion wrong

[silver dome]

so its most likely a player
