@bronze ice oh yeah you were replying me about my Killa helmet that disappeared in flea
100k baby

ok cool
Oh, right 
Hey! How can you unlock the moding stuff?
Workbench lvl 1
Thx π savior
Anyone wants to go on raid?
I,m fairly new but i have some keys from custom map.
I,m from Latvia... English is not my first, but i can speek! π
go to looking for group channel
hey weird question but is the vepr hunter any good? I keep finding them but never really bothered to try one out...
yes
VERY
budget gun , uses m80 penetrates everything well Not particularly everything
but u can get ez frafgs
how do i get off the streets?
?
Like, i'm stuck in a loop where. I got shit gear.
Then, just end up looting out, just to get got later.
Now i'm broke bois
1.5k
thanks it
please help
what maps are you running?
factory :/
...
Where the money?
Level traders
Won't have to spend inflated prices to buy from flea
Run Interchange for loot runs
i need help doing the second part of signal 1 task
interchange?
Is interchange the strat for getting loot?
i don't even know that map :C
Remember if you are on a loot run then you are looting not looking for a fight
i know it if u want to team
well youre broke.. might aswell go in with fuck all and loot up and learn the map π
sure
At the moment, some part of the players may have difficulties entering the game. We are already working to fix this issue. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your patience and understanding. @news
Of course
budracin u aint working on shit
working on coffee
kek
high af rn
is this going to be full durability?
is there anyway to know?
@waxen forge
inspect?
^
@silver dome traders do not sell anything at less than full dura
Is there any other way of reducing recoil on the akm or vepr km other than installing a front grip?
meta guns disgusting
stock , muzzle
@weary badge GP-25 recoil pad
front grip is extremely easy to do and cheap though
dynacomp muzzle brake
Hmm good, I didnt know of all these options
Yeah but I cant seem to buy a front grip from any of the traders
Probably because Im level 1 on all of tem
At level 1 work on learning game, scav/PMC pathing.
dont need to check the vest
Don't worry too much about gear
@weary badge buy the AK100 handguard from prapor
it has a rail to install grips
and you will find grips in raid very often so just put it on the gun when you find it
I see, I will look into it
@waxen forge Is there any way to learn scav pathing other than guessing whether its an NPC scav and making mental notes of where I saw them?
Because I'm having trouble with that
do ai scav flank?
But there aren't any maps or such with the scav paths indicated on them? Because I can't seem to find any
@reef prairie yes
thanks, i thought they always go straight at you
no they are pretty advanced for AI
ofc sometimes they derp out
but a lot of the times you'll be surprised with how smart they are
But if you are PMC it really doesn't matter since all are hostile
Yes I've seen those, but I get confused when I see scavs walking anywhere outside their spawns
there can be player scavs
Yea, I need to learn those because I have been shot by player scavs too many times because I didnt know whether scavs were supposed to walk there
That makes it easier I guess yeah, despite the fact that most of the people are saying not to shoot scavs as a scav
thats because scavs will shoot you if they see you shooting a scav
Ye
treating something as hostile doesn't mean shooting it
you know grizzly bears will eat your ass
doesn't mean seeing one means you should run up to it and kick it
running away is always a viable option
ppl don't chase in this game if you run
it's not viable for you to chase directly after someone if they break line of sight
there are too many angles and ambush spots to risk that
Yeah that makes sense
so if you see something you think might be a hostile, and you aren't prepared to shoot it, just reposition
hey guys
And btw, if you shoot a player scav, will AI scavs turn on you?
Ah allright
nice, all i get from customs is a death screen
yeah, im definitely doing something wrong
i cant i count how many times i tried the quests
not when you dont know the extracts yet like me π
im so broke the game gave me a scav with a 380k loadout
wtf im a broke bitch lol
what loadout
dont even have one LMAO
i had a berkun, armored rig, aks-u with 4 mags, lab keycard, salewa
and some other stuff
yeah, some are pretty useless
u can killa fully geared with half a mag of ps
i he doesnt shoot back maybe
t45m is not the shittiest round
its also not that bad anymore
like, its viable
would still never use over PS because PS is pennies to buy
but I mean if you were doing some hardcore autistic challenege or something it is viable
What do the striped lines mean as well as the solid filled one?
Begor and after modding? I guess
@weary badge how much the gun has gained from modding
striped are negative benefits (less recoil)
solid is a positive benefit (more muzzle velocity/more ergo)
Clear, thanks!
so the game crashed while I was in a raid as a PMC, do I lose my stuff? π
Also is there any difference between the AKMS and the vepr KM since both use 762x39?
Besides AKMS being automatic
no, restart game and it will give an option to rejoin unless you died in the meantime @amber saffron
@weary badge not besides the Vepr being semi automatic
well
between AKM there is no difference
AKMS is a folding stock variant of the AKM
alright thanks
so the AKMS will also fold
@silver dome how
?
are u so gay
oh
lol
im not tho
ur mom gay
Why the fuck dont stun grenades work
im always being killed by his guards
stuns dont work super well on AI
So I just hit this guy with a Mosin and it did 85 flesh damage and zero armor
but he didn't die
so he must've been naked
I wonder what part I hit
Just added a scope to my mosin. It now has -1 ergo...
Is lps ghz good for mosin?
Or 7n1?
7n1 is slightly better in stats
@tribal cove
No big difference, i would go for cheapest
Ok. Will get some gzh then
Anyone willing to help a noob out with some quests?
What region are u on?
EU
#521628660298678283 so you can see all of Discord @polar atlas
what does propane go for
@waxen forge thanks! forgot about that
@silver dome keep it if u have the space, u are gonna need it for quest later
@split vapor sv98 suffers from a very big trigger lag that was put in by the devs to simulate its "long trigger"
Propane
So its not really that much better
lol na ifound it in a raid and then i got shmoked
but it doesnt
i killed all of reshala's guards
there was a delay a long time ago
yet that has been gone for a long time
It still has it aince last week
He probably ran
Its like 100-150ms
Im at work atm so i cant confirm if it was removed since last week but it was there
as one that mainly uses the sv and r700 there is null to nothing, unless its somehow ping or pc tied related
Idk, but i asked about it here like a week ago and it was confirmed to be there by multiple people. Tested in the firing range
what does this mean anyway?
Flea market reputation
@strange tide what is it
@bold kernel i am trying to mod an akm and for some reason i cannot add a stock
also i probably won't help you i just want you to write what the issue is so that someone can help you
ah
can you show me a screenshot
yeah
that's an akmS btw
oh maybe thats why
If you upgrade Hideout Workbench and then examine every weapon and weapon part in Flea you can use the Edit Preset function to it's full extent. Makes modding very easy.
Closer to 150k
Yeah, factory key is 150k, nowhere close to 40k.
If somebody was selling one for 40k then it probably only had 1-2 uses left.
Yea. Factory exit. I put it in my pouch
nice find
Thx
For the Therapist first water quest in Dorms do I need to find the water and extract in the same raid? If I die do I have to get the water and extract again
Canβt be done separately if thatβs what Iβm understanding?
no
Ok thanks
its not hard just extract like a normal raid π
Customs has been brutal for me
If you die you just have to survive the next raid
Once "found" the water is found
You just walk into the room
Ah alright so if I find the water and I die, survive the next raid and itβs ok?
Yea
Cheers thanks
Yea Factory is 140K....Was thinking marked for some reason.
Usually the only ones you have to repeat are if you die while carrying a quest item.
Does that include the pocket watch quest as well? Been putting the quest off for a bit
yeah any quest that makes you grab some doc case or item in game
Watch is a task specific item. Won't go into bags but yes if you die you have to pick it up again
ie Find Doc Case 0.2654651
Yeah, trust me, you die with the watch you have to do it again. Reshala and his goons were fucking camped out that door 3 raids in a row.
Oh damn
I didnβt know they spawned there
Only thought they were only around dorms
they are in dorms
He means where you get machinery key so you can unlock the truck
Oh
they can be in either of the dorms
The watch is not near Rashala
also that
He can spawn inside either of the 2 dorms or the gas station.
I bought the key off flea
the watch is out in the truck in the construction area
Heard thereβs a scav sniper I should be looking for at construction area?
Yeah, he's on top of the red brick building.
Just fyi, you cant complete tasks as a scav.
Cant get watch or find water as a scav
do a night raid on one server, if you have any trouble
The only thing you can do as a scav is find the "find in raid" items.
well you can do tasks as a scav
lol yeah.... I had that happen yesterday. Had to sell some of my weapon hoard.
Got a question about quests. Should you just go and do them naked or should you go fully kitted etc, whats the fastest and best way to do them?
at least take a gun
All depends on the task really. Some of them require you killing certain people or wearing certain items so you have to be geared for it.
ak74 and a few mags is cheap
Generally I'd say if you have to survive and extract, bring gear.
@waxen forge yep Iβve stacked what I can
If you just need to run and grab something or do something quick then hatch/pistol run it if you want.
If keeping for tasks/Hideout buy a lucky scav junk box as soon as possible
Ok lads I need some help
Yeah thinking about getting one when I hit at least 2m
So when I fuck up I do have some fall back
whats the problem
lol
I got no fucking clue what to keep
Sell the map
how much rubles u got
250k
What lvel Ragman do you have?
started yesterday
oof
everyone is lvl 1
show me ur stash
Stack all backpacks inside the biggest backpack
Do I sell Kirasa
sell em or use em in raid
Gear fear is real tho xd
When you do a raid do you go in with as little as possible?
If you are high enough to be level 2 therapist buy lucky scav junk box for task/hideout items
if u want
yup and then get geared @royal wind
got 11 kills on intechange by starting with a makarov
Go in geared. Use armor and a rig. If you lose it, it clears out more space. If you dont lose it, then keep it on your character and put the stuff you acquire in its place.
Should I be bringing that many mags with me?
With 1 slot mags it's easy to bring 4-6. Since you reload more often and they dont take a lot of space.
With 2 slot mags I only bring 2-3.
last raid I got some paracord and was thinking about tradeing it in for docs case for all the keys and dogtags
m80 basically kills anyone in 1-3 hits
And?
Nothing wrong with 5-6 1 slot mags. Easy to carry and less time spent repacking.
You can easily dump a whole mag taking out one guy.
bruh
As a general rule of thumb how much meds should I bring
is there any use for mechanic tools?
depends what case you have
yeah
π€ how do I get the pmc role
quest
Mainly for hideou upgrades.
Iβve got an alpha
If you plan on upgrading your hideout keep them all.
Youll need to accept the #521628660298678283 @bold kernel
alpha , uh , ifak,alu splint, bottle if ibi
but I did that
You need 6 for the hideout and 2 for the farming quest pt. 1 @bold kernel
ah okay ty
Are my meds ok
is there any use for maps?
ingame maps, nope
Probably too many meds tbh.
also is this the place to ask questions about the sherpa service π€
You could probably make do with one AI-4 and one IFAK.
Si
do an ifak alu and the ibi bottle
Yeah, but I normally carry ibuprofen instead of painkillers.
hmm, so essentially it boils down to people who are pretty dang good at the game to help nubs with quests right
Gets you 12 painkillers in one slot instead of 4.
Okay got you
Buy you an ibuprofen and alu splint from FM if your therapist doesnt have them and keep those in your pouch.
you dont really need splints
Other than that just use whatever healing meds you prefer. Just make sure you have a way to stop a bleed.
just ibuprofen or painkillers, morphine, anything like that right?
If you dont splint a broken leg, even on painkillers you'll lose health.
By broken it doesnt mean black right
Correct.
yea
Ah that's why it wasn't working
Broken arms still cause gun wobble, even with pain meds.
So splinting is always best if you can.
i mean for me its barley noticable
Drains your stam quicker too when ADS.
hey guys can anyone help me with gunsmith part 6... i dont seem to know how to get it under the weight needed
RSASS task
I'll hop onto a raid now, wish me luck and thanks! π
thats 6?
remove mag
ah
What is the best scope for mosin, wht scope has the biggest FOV?
Yeah, take the mag out.
π
i would kiss you
s p a c e
if i could
i hate playing labs solo
General rule of thumb if it doesnt specify a specific magazine you can always do without it.
vudu, tyrone
Raises the ergonomicas and lessens the weight.
what do people do with their bit coins ?
or the 1p59
My does my game freeze each time when i want to exit the long queue?
thats an anti aircraft gun sol
it good
im not in the financial situation to be buying m995 for this gun
it good but also $
my favorite gun
man
995 oh god no
Whats best after 955?
995 was already pointless to use and more even now
i still use 856a1
995 trash
shootemup , its not trash on the round , its trash for value
dolin , i can make it 32 recoil π€‘ @vestal karma
how
open file
huh
documents\escape from tarkov\screenshots
why tf does matching take so goddamn long
10 minutes to find a match
So far there have been no translations of the SCAVs on Youtube, so I've decided to contribute my translation of all voice lines for the SCAVs in Escape From Tarkov to its community.
βΌTimestampsβΌ
What you've came here for:
3:59 β USEC, Fuck off!
7:41 β Cheeki breeki =...
Don't matchmake for more than 5 minutes. Choose more servers
Scavs usually have 2 names dont they?
Raiders can have single names
Thats was a player then
Launcher is where you choose servers
Even if it was reshalas guards, they all have the same last names
Does the timer stat at 55:00 or does it start at 60 min?
whats meta for this
A sight...
hahsa
stfu
whats best to worst 556 ammo?

guy should I trade one keycard and paracord for docs case
that is now even everything
I got no space for dogtags xd
what keycard
just save for a junkbox
this one
I got 273k
kebab u good?
wrong chat
"Cola and Salt" "Tastes so good" ?
it do
Sure that "SALT" isnt crystal meth?
mmmmm meth
after eating something salty?
No?
it's like the taste is amplified
I mean ive tasted the bad version. Vanilla ice cream then cola?
anyway offtopic
xD
I'm having a hard time recognizing direction and distance that sounds come from. When I hear scavs shouting it sounds like they are really close by, like a couple of meters away but it usually turns out they are much further away and in another spot. Any tips on this or is it something that just comes with experience?
experience
a@silver dome
?
ok
Not a beginner but #eft-chat is not helping: Just installed the scav case, is it worth handing them moonshine or just rubels?
its all a gamble
its just down to risk v reward
the rewards for moonshine are higher, but also more chance of loss
No idea honestly
So I go more safe giving them rubels gotcha
I've had some luck with stuff coming back but I know I've lost on transactions at times.
Depends on how much you want to gamble
np
im missing 0.03 rep on peacekeeper tp get level 3 i dont want to kill scavs while wearing untar is there any quest to do that give peacekeeper rep?
I was so hyped for going on a woods raid with a sniper that I went with no water and got killed because I couldn't see of dehydration
LOL
If anyone wants to do a scav run on shoreline lmk. I have no idea what I'm doing π

how does 1 simply go on woods and kill scavs?
I used a gun
but how does one avoid getting instantly domed by an rsas
Avoid hotspots
Don't wear blue helmets
Stay in the trees
Don't run in open fields
hm
Silencers help too
could I perhaps do a run with you on woods?
you can take all the loot
I just need to kill a couple guys with a mosin
like 15 scavs and 7 without armour hopefully past the 50 meter range\
My friend and I started recently and we both have this problem https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/248166544461266954/658697088997130285/unknown.png repair window is not able to be closed. Does anyone know a fix?
Can't game rn unfortunately
ah balls another time? @bold kernel
Sure thing! Send me a dm and I'll get back to you
@analog summit you can do the scav on woods solo
its really easy
bring a silenced / unsilenced scoped weapon
theres alot of scavs wandering about near houses
What's a good map to find Salewas on?
just take em out
Interchange has 3 med stations
Shoreline has salewa spawns
Also can just buy on flea...since not Find in Raid
If you are level 5 and unlocked flea
I thought "Find" meant in raid... I'll just get them at flea then
Find is different than "Find in Raid"
I survived
I would've thought that "Get" would be a little more specific
Took me 10 mins or more to locate where the hell I am
Is old road gate pmc only?
yup
why cant i go?
fuck me
Old road gate is in the main area off to your right about 200m
In the adjacent corner of the pmc zb exit
Any tips on how to judge how far away gunshots are?
Old road gate IS PMC vehicle extract... LOL
Shh yeah
Ware17 should be close unless thatβs ware4
But yeah old road is dorms gate
Lol......
does playing with high ping gives you advantage? like REALY HIGH
Barely noticeable advantage
Unless youβre in the 500 hundreds you wonβt see a difference
Ive never noticed an advantage on my screen, however, I havent really ever lost a fight playing with EU friends on their servers.
Ping 200 and under you wonβt notice any things
Doing 10 mans in Helsinki from the east coast grants about a 120 ping and its perfectly playable
@grand crow bass is increased for indoors. If it echo's it's pretty far. grenades sound like artillery at some distance. If it's close there is a stronger treble and gun clang type noises... discribing sounds is hard... and tarkov sound is... lacking
Gun shots are the only sound
I hate the ambient with a passion
why is there a streamer who plays with 2000 ping?
Kinda how loud it is you tell range
whats up with this?
Not sure who but wouldn't worry about it
i did it. in the last 3 min
I was on Shoreline earlier and I spawned near the ruined house fence
Seemed to me shots were at village I couldnβt tell
Sounded quite near
i had a map that showed me that old rad gate is where i did the screen shot
Customs v3
I dont get the flea market, I right click an item in my inventory then "required search" and it looks that specific item up if its on flea?
If its not, just sell to vendor?
required search looks for trades for that item
filter by item is looking for any sales
you can add more filters like traders only
or no barter
always check the traders worth of items first, people on flea often sell fore below trader price
Yeah of course
or sell modded guns below trader price
skier always gives more for scopes, barrels and shit
!wiki manifest
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Database_-_Part_1
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page manifest for a direct link or !wiki search manifest for a list of all hits.
never sell to fence -> electronics go to therapist -> clothes and most parts to skier -> then mechanic if skier doesn't want it.
basically anything you cant equip goes to therapist if not flea
also for scopes as well as silencers you usually get more on flea
skier will not buy broken armor, but he might after repair
Gotta upgrade dem dealers though 
Upgrading is just from purchasing from them, not selling to them right?
both
for max profit, yes
Great thanks
Yep
yeah do a quick price check with mechanic, if market prices are much better sell there, if not disassable and sell to skier -> mechanic.
that litearlly takes forever for like 3% more rubles , i dont have the patience for that , jut sell it whole
if you dont care too much
are you allowed to use nvidia freestyle
yes
it deosnt take long... you can right click and disassemble it automatically
he gives like 7-12k more for a silencer
You can use it
defo worth
The filters arenβt blocked yet
im here with amd radeon
if they do they need to add brightness option
any way to turn up brightness?
Time and weather do affect how bright it is
^
Obviously a cloudy day makes it less bright

literally already a sharpness tool
Probably already been asked, but what tier armor can the M855A1 round pen?
M995 is just too expensive for me to buy right now
Use 855a1 or 856a1
Thanks
hello lads

Brand new to the game, got it yesterday and had some trouble grokking it. Finally did get a decent hang of it now but I kinda ran out of all the started gear and money, so I reset my account and managed to do the same again. I'm a bit lost on what to do.
@cold parrot bro
Tried some scav runs on Customs but i always get picked off by some PMC with a mosin.
starter gear is useless
yes
yes
Your experience is typical
First thing to do when you start Tarkov is Reset expectations
Doesn't matter how many shooters you've played and how you do in them
no point
yeah i've learned most of customs now and i can navigate it
This is a different animal
but I just get shrekt by PMC's when doing scav runs.
Be a sneaky boy
Then you should be more careful on scav run
If you have no money and gear then need scav run to make you money and gear.
Taking on fights will not help this goal
Donβt bother trying to find people just go around hording weapons and stuff you find
You are dying to experience not weapons.
Remember just because a fight can be taken doesn't mean that it needs to be taken or even should be taken.
Thing is I rarely even see them.
I just head a thud from the forest and I drop.
Even when I try to stealth in the forest and in foliage.
Sounds about right ngl
@cold parrot literally play the game
Wow makes a ton of sense. Thanks kebab.
What ammo or gear
Got literally 0
i mean you're being pretty vague yourself @cold parrot
Run straight to exit with what you spawn with
what kind of ammo do you use
do you have flea?
Yeah
what kind of armor
There is a sherpa program @cold parrot ever heard of it?
Run that offline to practice
!sherpa
Hello @sturdy badge,
In the Escape from Tarkov Official server, you can ask for <@&521614335945080832> to come and give you assistance with Escape from Tarkov.
You can ask for in game help, help on modding you weapons, assistance to do quests... sherpas are here to help.
You can also request sherpas on the main Escape from Tarkov website.
Send a request to a sherpa :
https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/sherpa
Help on how to do your request :
https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/88265-how-to-ask-for-a-sherpa/
On this discord, you can also use :
β #beginners-assistance : To chat with other beginners and meet sherpas.
β Beginners assistance : To talk with sherpas and to be moved in private rooms, to raid with them !
Thank you, and good luck in Escape from Tarkov.
@cold parrot watch a beginner guide from pestily or deadlyslob. You will get much farther
Thanks for the sherpa heads up!
BUT you need experience
You can only get that 1 way...playing
Go scav..run straight to exit and use that kit to practice offline
Yeah "git gud" by playing more. Doing mistakes is not bad as long as you learn from it and realize what you did wrong.
Your experience is similar to damn near everyone who starts
I've been running sks with the BP rounds and whatever armor I come across.
@cold parrot material?
Since can't assemble any kits.
7.62 BP is okay
do you use insurance?
But pricey
No
and do you have flea?
resetting account sucks it will reset your quest and trader progress aswell as soft skills
I didn't get anywhere regardless
yes you did
I had nothing to lose
endurance
better go with a pistol or do scav runs more often and go safe routes
shock resistance
Gonna try some scav runs of interchange again.
Keep getting picked of though. From some far off corner and getting trapped.
customs is not an easy map btw you often run into people coming from the other side
When you got the basics down of supply and demand. Risk and reward. It can be quite possible to reach a point of struggling to lose more then you gain. If your going broke. You need to adapt to something still.
What maps do you recommend
Yah and cramped spaces perfect for getting trapped.
Shoreline stashes are also an easy way to make money
However since you have nothing...just take the kit you spawn with and run straight to exfil so you can go practice offline
just grab tools on interchange
Interchange is a great start. each level of the mall explored is basically higher danger level. parking lot being safest.
yeah learn stashes on customs, shoreline and interchange
they are good loot and quest progress
car batteries and shit
Snorline
Shoreline I've had better luck with
But I can't go near the gas station always some camper there in the bushes
also snoreline has some good houses to loot without any keys
you dont need to go to gas
go through power station
Shoreline is my home map so I feel like it's a decent 2nd map to maybe learn how players travel... and in the end... the tasks can teach some hard lessons too.
Alrighty
@cold parrot what tasks do you have
