[sonic lake]

and even then

selling the gpus would be smarter lmao

[fossil patrol]

someone wanna go one some customs runs?

[sonic lake]

#pvp-lfg

[cyan cape]

what do I do to make money

I'm a lil broke

[grave helm]

start hatchling runs

get custom keys or any other map you like and run fast, get the good stuff and run run run out

[open basin]

hatchlings

learn interchange and play it on your scav

[bold kernel]

where is the best place to farm dry fuel? it seems like everyone accepts it for trade on the market?

[open basin]

flea market?

why would you do barter trades on the flea

[bold kernel]

cause im a noob? is that a bad idea lol?

[open basin]

okay

go to your settings for flea market

and click exclude barter offers

[bold kernel]

lol was there more info coming, or youre just saying never look at them in general?

[open basin]

never look at them

almost all of them are trying to rip you off

[bold kernel]

good to know thank you for the info

[white forge]

Whats the mount to use if i want to use a canted sight

[dull cave]

r45

[stark coyote]

@open basin STOP GIVING AWAY MY SECRETS ABOUT TRADES!!! XD

[open basin]

fuck it dude

ill post an m4 on the flea

gimme 2 dfuel

[stark coyote]

Why would i do that?

[open basin]

das cheap

nah for thats for nubz

gonna be a scammer

[stark coyote]

Lol

It better be a hella modded m4 xD

[open basin]

anyone got a decent akm build

it'll be an m4 lower reciever with stock adar parts

[pine wagon]

if I don't fully search a bag but loot it and extract...I still get everything right? I feel like my scav transfer window might be bugged? it's not showing me with the stuff I looted on him when I extracted.

ah nevermind, seems to have corrected itself

[open basin]

yeah with that bug you have to transfer something to your stash then press back

it should then correct itself

[pine wagon]

gotcha, thank you

[golden geyser]

lol how did this guy take 203 dmg to body and is still alive

[dull cave]

bodies have 435 hp? @golden geyser

[plucky goblet]

^

[river sigil]

alright so I got the secure case form Big Red and now I have to drop it off in Factory right? Where in factory and what setup should i run?

really don't feel like going back into customs for a while now

[dull cave]

okay so

dont do it solo

find some gamers in #pvp-lfg to help you out

[river sigil]

all right 🙂

[golden geyser]

rip

[open basin]

Do it solo like a man

[golden geyser]

but I'm pretty sure people can die without losing ALL the 435 health

[dull cave]

yup

[lapis mauve]

They can die with 35 if you shoot their head

[dull cave]

gotta hit their thorax or head

[open basin]

[golden geyser]

like if you shoot the crap out of their chest

[open basin]

Da vitals

[shell verge]

does five seven with ss190 ammo not break face shields?

[dull cave]

what faceshield

level 2?

3?

4?

5?

6?

[shell verge]

looked like maybe an airframe

[dull cave]

so 3

it should

go right through

[shell verge]

12 bullets to the face shield didnt kill him

[dull cave]

well, wasnt an airframe

[golden geyser]

[dull cave]

thats impossible

either you missed a lot

[shell verge]

wasnt an altyn

[dull cave]

do you have video?

[golden geyser]

^ Yes please

[shell verge]

just happened like 15 mins ago

[dull cave]

okay?

[shell verge]

how do you use the shadowplay thing?

I dont record games

[dull cave]

well you gotta enable it

welp

without any further evidence

I'm gonna bet you missed most rounds

[shell verge]

I hit hit so many times his gun kicked up in air

and so did the helmet it looks like

[dull cave]

what color was the helmet

[shell verge]

it looked kind of like tan like blackbeard from siege

[dull cave]

either bad desync

or you missed a lot

tbh, no point in discussin it

[shell verge]

there is a point because if five seven is useless against face shields, then the gun is useless

[dull cave]

its not

a five seven cant even penetrate level 1 armor

what matters is the bullet it shoots

and 190 goes through level 3

periodt

[shell verge]

what other helmets and face shields are higher than 3?

[dull cave]

want me to list em all?

for faceshields

[shell verge]

I just want to know if they go through them or not?

[dull cave]

bnti lshz 2dtm, maska, altyn, vulkan

helmets above 3

ach 2001 and 2002, achhc, zsh, ulach, fastmt, airframe, bnti lshz 2dtm, maska, altyn, vulkan

!ammo

[tribal robin]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[shell verge]

does five seven with 190 go through those face shields, like which one does it not?

[dull cave]

it has 32 pen

it goes through level 3 >90% of the time first shot

it goes through level 4 after a couple shots

and hits a wall at level 5

[shell verge]

which ones are level 5?

[dull cave]

altyn is 5face/5helmet, maska is 6/4, vulkan is 4/6

[shell verge]

helmet had like a riot shield visor like material

I mean the faceshield

wasn't a sliver

it was like a full one

[dull cave]

theres only 2 tan helmets with faceshields

fastmt and airframe

both level 4 helmets

level 3 visors

190 would more than likely pen face first shot

[shell verge]

it was probably an airframe with napes

[dull cave]

wouldn't change anything

chops are also level 3

high ric chance, but not stop 12 shots thick

[shell verge]

I heard it bouncing off

[dull cave]

12 times?

[shell verge]

it bounced off about4-6 times

well not going to play on that server anymore, same guy killed me twice on shoreline

first times playing that map

spawns me on beach both times

[stable nova]

ok wtf happened now: Raid Ended Early Termination - Survived 258 Exp

i killed like a gazillion scavs

and i was in raid for 42 minutes

[open basin]

screenshot?

[stable nova]

i see no scavs listed when i go next

no kills at all

[shell verge]

what map?

[dull cave]

glitch

[open basin]

it might be a bug where it's showing you a previous raids stats

[dull cave]

^^

[shell verge]

thats probably that bug

[stable nova]

ok

interchange

ah ok

i think i got more xp

then it showed

[shell verge]

@dull cave should be desync with my issue, that server I had like 150-180 ping

[covert moth]

not really a beginner but could use some help. I feel like I suck absolute donkey dick at tarkov, I always feel like im clueless. I always die, my friends rock pretty nice gear, and i just feel lost. idk why im typing maybe to get one of you guys to help me with some of these issues?

[open basin]

you trouble spotting enemies?

[covert moth]

no, just pvp and not dying, also proffits

[open basin]

what do you usually run

armor, guns, ammo etc

also for making money

learn interchange

[river sigil]

best loadout/strats for kill 4 pmcs with a pistol? I already have a couple five sevens with good ammo

[covert moth]

@open basin I run a ssh-68, with a 6b3tm-o with a pk-o6 and pws ak-74 with butt pad. Using bs rounds

[fallen crane]

@river sigil i saw somewhere that someone would camp the customs office waiting for hatchlings to run for the safe or for a newer player to go and grab the quest item from in there. dunno how effective this would be compared to other methods but it probably works.

[open basin]

do you use any headsets at all

like comtacs

[river sigil]

headsets are good

tactical sport tho not com tech

[open basin]

cuz ur using good ammo and have decent armor

[covert moth]

No I try and keep that cheap, but I know I should run them

[open basin]

yeah use headsets then

tarkov is all about sounds

[covert moth]

Any u recommend?

[open basin]

i use comatacs but thats cause thats the best on ragman lvl 2 has

you can try comtacs and the tactical sport from flea

see which ones you like best

also sordins

[covert moth]

Gotcha

[open basin]

but if you just wanna try and keep it cheap then get the best ones your lvl of ragman has

also i'd rather spend money on a headset than i would a helmet if you dont got the funds

[covert moth]

So that helps with finding bad people but how do I beat them in a fight

[open basin]

use good ammo and train your aim

test out how your gun shoots in offline or something

[covert moth]

Would you say running factory offline with difficult scabs would help with that?

[neat spruce]

It depends on the gun you want to test

[covert moth]

Well a 101vepr or a Ak-84

[open basin]

factory pvp is different compared to normal pvp on most maps imo

[neat spruce]

I like to play factory to test my CQB skills.

[open basin]

cuz factory is mostly close quarters combat

[neat spruce]

yep

[open basin]

honestly

tarkov shooter pt 1 has helped with my aim so much

[covert moth]

Don’t think I’m on that one yet

But I’m thinking if I bump up scavs on factory it’ll help cqb on dorms on customs or interchange

[open basin]

try interchange offline

a shit ton of scavs spawn in oli

it's almost never ending

[covert moth]

Lol. Thx

[grim wagon]

the scavs happen online too like

its fun but really annoying

[open basin]

i died like that once

too many scavs and i ended up getting caught filling up all my mags

[tribal cove]

I have to change the reciever to put a new handguard on the adar?

[shell verge]

are tunnel and road to customs always an extraction point on shoreline?

for PMCS

[upper sky]

how can i increase Vitality skill? need to get it a level up for hideout

[open basin]

no @tribal cove

[fickle kettle]

@upper sky get hit

[upper sky]

@fickle kettle oh... 😦

[frank beacon]

@shell verge if theres no ??? That means its always open

[upper sky]

so go pistol run and get shot a bunch? hah

[fickle kettle]

you should use amor

[upper sky]

so like get shot but don't die...

[shell verge]

@frank beacon Im not sure but I think road to customs wasn't open for one of my pmc raids that is why I ask lol

@frank beacon ran out of time at rock passage

[grim wagon]

theyre always open but you can only use the one on the opposite side of the map than you spawn on

[frank beacon]

^

[grim wagon]

so if you start at village, you cant leave at tunnel

[frank beacon]

Double tap O to see what extracts u can go to if not sure

[shell verge]

just started playing map today, died cause I extracted one raid at rock passage and didnt get it that other raid I went there, also no food and one drink

[grim wagon]

if you plan to stay in longterm, take food/drink in with you

[shell verge]

I wasn't, just didnt know the map

[frank beacon]

Or learn where food/drinks spawn

[shell verge]

they were looted

checked all of resort

1st floor and locked doors

2 guys looted them all

I got stuck in village spawn

[tribal cove]

Should I get 1 expensive mag instead of 2 or 3 with 10 rounds?

[shell verge]

what gun?

[tribal cove]

Adar

[shell verge]

just get the 30 round mag

it like 4k

[tribal cove]

Only 1 is enough?

[shell verge]

what map?

[frank beacon]

I would suggest have more than 1 spare mag

[tribal cove]

Woods

Or customs

[shell verge]

get like 3

[frank beacon]

Get 3

[open basin]

1 mag

[frank beacon]

Put extra rounds in your container

Just in case

[tribal cove]

Oke

[frank beacon]

30-60 extra rounds to repack a mag or two

[open basin]

what ammo are you using for the adar

[tribal cove]

On a semiauto I never used more than 30 bullets

Didnt buy any yet

[open basin]

docs and sicc?

[silk laurel]

in raid

i dropped my paracord for it

[tribal cove]

I have some M856a1 in my stash

[silk laurel]

delete it

its a waste of space

[open basin]

sell it

[tribal cove]

Ok :)

What ammo then?

M995?

[open basin]

m855a1

m995 is for rich people

[tribal cove]

True

M855a1 it is then

[scarlet breach]

Any news about the Christmas gifts from ?

[opaque mirage]

"m995 is for rich people"

quote of the year

[mighty jasper]

Is there an updated archive of useful guides?

I'm trying to look into weapon modding guide but they all seem a little old

[upper flame]

@winter cargo @wary turtle hey guys

i am in factory 3

[tribal cove]

I have a lot of ps ammo should I sell it?

[stable nova]

@scarlet breach i got my christmas gift

[scarlet breach]

from last year ?

[stable nova]

mhm dunno

[scarlet breach]

xD

[stable nova]

i have not played last year

[scarlet breach]

oh

[stable nova]

i mean

i have not logged in

but i had an account

[scarlet breach]

did you got trough the website ?

[stable nova]

yes

[scarlet breach]

where was it?

[stable nova]

in profile

[scarlet breach]

claimable or ?

[stable nova]

maybe it is from last year

i have not logged in since mid 2018

do they time out?

[scarlet breach]

i think there for life

so you keep all of them at realease

after every wipe you get all again

[scarlet breach]

what was in it

cases

[stable nova]

icase, 2 ammo cases and that m1a

a keytool

i don't think you get that after every wipe

or?

[fickle kettle]

get what ?

[stable nova]

the christmas present

[tribal cove]

what barrel do I need?

[fallen crane]

@stable nova is that an old one or this year?

[stable nova]

i don't know

i redeemed it yesterday

[fallen crane]

old one then

[stable nova]

but i have not played since 2018

and just started recently

[fallen crane]

yeah

[stable nova]

do the hideout passive bonuses work without power?

[fallen crane]

yeah

[fickle kettle]

@stable nova can you give me the link of that ?

[stable nova]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/profile

and there on the bottom right above your game edition

[fickle kettle]

you mean bottom left ?

and i saw notthing

[open basin]

yo

im on the presets and the info tab is gone now

[grim wagon]

the M1A gift is last years new year gift.
if you owned the game before 1st Jan 2019, its available on the profile page.

Stands to reason itll be updated to a 2020 gift in 8 days.

(so claim it now if you've owned the game long enough)

[fallen crane]

how do the gifts work? can you claim it once or every wipe?

[plucky goblet]

every wipe

[stable nova]

issnt that a bit unfair?

or well doesnt matter for now cause its not released

[amber saffron]

ak-74m or ak-74n?

[upper sky]

M

[amber saffron]

thanks

[upper sky]

N is fine too, but different

[amber saffron]

what's the difference?

[upper sky]

N is a little cheaper to buy, has different sight mounting options

someone more knowledgeable could answer better. but i go AKM for everyday basic build

[amber saffron]

ah

would you recommend the AKM over the 74?

[upper sky]

sorry, i meant AK-74M is like my "base" go to. because it's 5.45x39 ammo

AKM is 7.62x39

[amber saffron]

ah I see

[upper sky]

sorry just loaded into raid, gotta focus now 🙂

[amber saffron]

good luck

[open basin]

whatu looking

[winter cargo]

Anybody want to hunt some scavs in shoreline

[open basin]

go ak-74n

you can get op zhukov stock

[winged flame]

i just got this game if anyone fancies helping me through

i have a mic if that helps

[bold kernel]

i got a keytool

but i need more key space

what do i get?

[upper sky]

docs case or another keytool or only bring the keys you want with you on raid

or a small SICC case, but those are a couple mil

[olive plover]

S I C C

[upper sky]

thought about getting a SICC but keytool + wallet does fine for me

[tribal cove]

which guns are not worth keeping? I need to sell some for more space

[upper sky]

74u and vepr for starters

otherwise, sell whatever you're not using

[open basin]

op sks

honestly

i'd sell everything

except the one ur currently using

[fickle kettle]

stop playing scav

easy

[upper sky]

dying really is the best way to clear your inventory

[tribal cove]

I tried that, but my guns came back with insurance

[fickle kettle]

den start with the mp-133

[tribal cove]

I think I will sell all except for m700, moded adar, fal and ak 74m supressed

[fickle kettle]

sell the fal, mp-133

[tribal cove]

Isnt fal a good one?

[fickle kettle]

are you even going to use it xd ?

[cold parrot]

I'm a big fan if 7.62x39 over the puny 5.45 shit

[tribal cove]

I only found a fal once. I see ak s and adars a lot

So it is not that great?

[upper sky]

just upgraded to Workbench2 and i can make my own 74M now, poggers!

[open basin]

Fal is good

But it sells for a pretty decent amount

So if you arent gonna use it then sell it

[unkempt furnace]

Hi guys it's the new Christmas gift available?

Merry Christmas @ all

[noble flower]

umm, I have a key for shoreline gas station safe. But when I go there, I dont unlock it. I just "search" it, oO am I stupid? and that's how safes with keys work?

[waxen forge]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Key_to_store_safe

[heavy quest]

where can I get fuel for my generator?

[rich cloak]

@noble flower it depends if you go to the right safe or not

[noble flower]

there are two safes inside the gas station?

[rich cloak]

@heavy quest Ollie on interchange has a lot of spawns

[waxen forge]

Can buy from Jaeger or pick up in Olie

[heavy quest]

havent played on interchange yet, guess I'll check it out

don't have jaeger yet either

[rich cloak]

They can spawn basically Everywhere but Olli has a lot of them

[waxen forge]

Jaeger level 2 sells the 100 gallon cans

[heavy quest]

ok

[noble flower]

I found them quite often on woods aswell, the blue fuel cans

in the bunkers

[rich cloak]

Blue fuelcans are great value

[noble flower]

yeah, use the fuel, then craft magazine boxes out of them and make buck

the value of the magazine boxes are going down though

is

[rich cloak]

@amber saffron the 74 series of rifles is more versatile due to the lower recoil. Some people like 7.62 but you need BP for it to be really worth it and that's expensive af

Not af

But you feel the price

[noble flower]

if you are low on cash you can buy half PS and half BP. And put in 3 BP - 3 PS - 3BP - 3PS -3 -3 -3 -3- -3 or whatever alternation rate you want, should try to ensure that the first bullets are the good ones(the last bullets you put into the mag)

[rich cloak]

That's quite a task tho

[waxen forge]

Escapers, @news

In the next hour we plan to install an update for Escape from Tarkov, the installation will take up to 2 hours - at this time the game will be unavailable. Important: if you were in the game as a scav at the moment of the start of the update - you can lose your loot

We will publish the list of changes at the start of the update installation

#eft-announcements

[silver dome]

For fucks sake

Whens the new update

Whats the update about hopefully its a wipe

[cold parrot]

If it's wipe I want to die

[rich cloak]

It's not

What the fuck we just had a wipe

Wipes have special events attached to them before the wipe happens

And wipes are known a lot in advance

[bold kernel]

So apparently mines exist in this game

[hallow pelican]

Yes

[bold kernel]

Rest in peace myself

[rich cloak]

Huehuehue

[amber saffron]

@rich cloak I see, thanks

wait did we just have a wipe?

[rich cloak]

Also you need a bunch of mods to take a 7.62 AK to good recoil

Kinda

[waxen forge]

2 months ago

last wipe

Last wipe before that was 9 months

Wipes are good

[amber saffron]

oh I was asking right now?

with this update

[rich cloak]

No

[waxen forge]

It's just an update

[amber saffron]

ah ok

I see

[rich cloak]

People are throwing wrong information again

[amber saffron]

lul

[waxen forge]

[silver dome]

[waxen forge]

Dude you need to give it a rest

[amber saffron]

[rich cloak]

OK

[waxen forge]

There is an UPDATE...nobody official said anything about a wipe. Do not believe Vokov

[rich cloak]

THERE IS NO WIPE FFS

[noble flower]

probably atleast 2~months left if I were to guess

[amber saffron]

I see

[rich cloak]

@noble flower more like 5 imo

[rapid minnow]

I hope they give us Christmas gifts in this update

[amber saffron]

thanks for clearing it

[silver dome]

[rapid minnow]

Nope @silver dome

Everybody gets it

[fading briar]

[fading briar]

hi

[waxen forge]

Morning @fading briar

[rich cloak]

Hey there

[waxen forge]

#521628660298678283 so you can see all of discord

[rich cloak]

@silver dome we don't know yet

Once you receive a christmas gift you get it at the start of every wipe

[bold kernel]

gamma container plz

[amber saffron]

oh we’re getting a gift? 👀

[silver dome]

lol gamma container

[amber saffron]

yay 👏

[silver dome]

rip to all the EOD buyers

[amber saffron]

@bold kernel lmao i wish

[bold kernel]

:p

[rich cloak]

We usually get one

[silver dome]

i will buy myself EOD for christmas 😄

[rich cloak]

No announcement yet tho

[amber saffron]

ah that’s pretty cool

what’d you get last year?

[rich cloak]

Haven't been here last year but I think a key tool?

[amber saffron]

I see

[weary badge]

How often are wipes taking place? And is it something that is done throughout the beta mode only or is it an integral part of the game?

[waxen forge]

It was a keytook. ICase, M1, and 2 ammo boxes

[bold kernel]

Hopefully an integral part of the game but I don't think anyone knows

[waxen forge]

Wipes happen with BIG content patches

[amber saffron]

ooh nice

[rapid minnow]

yes pls

[rich cloak]

@weary badge last wipe took 9 months but the times aren't set

[waxen forge]

Last wipe was 2 months

Wipe before that was 9 months

Wipes are very good

Keeps the game fresh

[bold kernel]

The last wipe was 2 months ago and before that it was 9 months between wipes i believe

[weary badge]

So a wipe means that everyone loses their loot?

[bold kernel]

I'm too slow hehe

[waxen forge]

Player base drops off late wipe.

[rich cloak]

Yes

[weary badge]

But keeps their level progress

[rich cloak]

No

[amber saffron]

it basically resets the game

[tribal cove]

Gets reset

[rich cloak]

Fresh start

[amber saffron]

you start fresh

[tribal cove]

Not on 0

[silver dome]

eft website isnt working

[waxen forge]

No a full wipe is when the game resets to as if it were the day you bought the game

All stats and inventory reset

[weary badge]

Hmm okay

Interesting

[noble flower]

@weary badge any update where they put in all the changes on how you progress with hideout etc. They want a wipe to make it fair. Until they found how they want everything to work with progressing with hideout/quests etc. Wipes will come. But they said that their plan is to not wipe anymore once the game is fully released

[silver dome]

LET ME PLAY!

[cold parrot]

eft website is dead

[silver dome]

do i have to download anything?

[cold parrot]

bsg wtf

[bold kernel]

Server maintenance I believe

[tribal cove]

Not yet

[waxen forge]

It the UPDATE

[tribal cove]

After 2 h

[rich cloak]

@silver dome 2 hours friend

[cold parrot]

[waxen forge]

It's supposed to be down

[silver dome]

wtf

i have to wait 2 hours

[bold kernel]

Yeah they told us

[silver dome]

then download a game for 2 hours

[bold kernel]

Beforehand

[silver dome]

the game

[cold parrot]

normally you keep your website online

like a sane person

[tribal cove]

The download is gonna be like 5 min

[waxen forge]

They are updated it too

[silver dome]

oh

thank god

[weary badge]

@noble flower I see, thanks

[cold parrot]

[bold kernel]

Not with my internet speed

[noble flower]

np

[silver dome]

whats the update gonna be on?

[amber saffron]

anyways, thanks for the help - I’ll be taking a break now. See you guys later!

[tribal cove]

The whole game is 14gb so..

[silver dome]

whats the update gonna be on?

[bold kernel]

Yeah it's actually insane how small the game files are

[cold parrot]

@waxen forge that is when you keep the old one running and then hotswap in the load balancer

to avoid it

[hallow pelican]

@silver dome nothing known yet. Patch notes to come

[silver dome]

damn what do i do now?

play roblox?

yeah ima play roblox

[noble flower]

they using super secret russian compressing techniques. And this game is just made to develope the russian army AI soldiers xD

[rapid minnow]

The Marked circle in Woods is just as good as the Marked room in customs right?

[silver dome]

nope

1 item spawns there

customs can spawn up to 3

with bullets too

customs one can spawn weapons cases , keytools , docs case

[rapid minnow]

The jacket near the marked circle is also special or is it a regular jacket?

[weary badge]

And are there actually any estimates on when the 1.0 release might take place? Because the game has been in beta for 4-5 years now?

[silver dome]

no the jacket is supreme x louis vuitton @rapid minnow

[bold kernel]

When sales drop lmao @weary badge

[weary badge]

lol

[noble flower]

@weary badge no, I dont think so. Their vision is so grandeur that it will probably take quite some time

[hallow pelican]

@weary badge the current game as it is is nowhere near what the end game vision the devs have for the game

[weary badge]

Where can I read upon their main vision? Because I've looked for a roadmap or something but found only one for the year of 2019

[noble flower]

watch their podcasts

[hallow pelican]

To give u an idea it will be released before the tech demo star citizen

[noble flower]

anyways, Merry Christmas everyone!

lat0r

[rich cloak]

Huehuehue

[stable nova]

since when are the servers down?

just came home

[cold parrot]

merry christmas you beautiful fucktards

@stable nova like 10m ago

[stable nova]

ah ok

[cold parrot]

gon be down for 2h from now

[noble flower]

@stable nova #eft-announcements

[cold parrot]

they fucked hatchlings and fixed scope fps

[cold parrot]

#general-chat

[bold kernel]

It's time u activate windows bruh

[silver dome]

cant

u activate it for me

[bold kernel]

It's like 10$

[silver dome]

as a christmas gift

LOL

thats so much

[bold kernel]

Tarkov cost u way moooore

[silver dome]

got it for my bday

[stable nova]

where are you from volkov?

[silver dome]

UK

why

[bold kernel]

Did u vote labour

[stable nova]

curiosity, i know that 10$ is a lot in certain countrys

[silver dome]

yep

fuck conservative

[bold kernel]

good, good

servers down?

[stable nova]

also dependent if you are still studying

[bold kernel]

yes server maintenance

[waxen forge]

Escapers, @news

In the next hour we plan to install an update for Escape from Tarkov, the installation will take up to 2 hours - at this time the game will be unavailable. Important: if you were in the game as a scav at the moment of the start of the update - you can lose your loot

We will publish the list of changes at the start of the update installation
#eft-announcements

[silver dome]

now that i voted labour , buy me a windows key

Tazz im 15

RIP THERES a wipe

[gray mountain]

WAIT REALLY?

[cold parrot]

no dude he is changing the text

Volkov is a total cuntnigger

[silver dome]

lol?

[waxen forge]

NO
LOOK AT #eft-announcements

[silver dome]

racism

@tall cipher

[cold parrot]

stop being an asshole

[silver dome]

stop being racist

[cold parrot]

aww now the 15 year old is going to scream for help

[rich cloak]

Honestly volkov fuck off

This is beginners assistance

[silver dome]

this isnt racism assistance

[weary badge]

Yah... We got it man

[silver dome]

^

you act like your a moderator inforcing "THIS IS BEGINNERS ASSISTANCE STFU"

[rich cloak]

I'm not a mod

[hallow pelican]

@cold parrot srsly dude that shit aint needed

[silver dome]

you sure act like one

[rich cloak]

But we can bring one in if you want

[silver dome]

go ahead

[rich cloak]

[silver dome]

imagine buying nitro 🤡

[cold parrot]

alright my bad on wordchoice, ill take that but volkov is misleading and screwing with beginners

[rapid minnow]

I thought this game was M18

[cold parrot]

which is very uncool

[solemn pike]

But being a hatchling isnt necessary. I can teach anyone to make a shit load of money on Interchange really quickly.

[cold parrot]

volkov doesnt care

that its m18

[silver dome]

its a joke

[cold parrot]

doubt

[silver dome]

yea sure

they would believe a screenshot

instead of the actual announcement

[torpid wraith]

imagine rationalizing sueing that kind of language with somone being nitro and talking in BA for EFT discord lmfao

[silver dome]

that was spammed multiple times

bright youstfu

[solemn pike]

also too, even if you have to hatchling......you do it cuz it makes money? You spend some of the profit on healing items and heal up post raid.

[torpid wraith]

is this the point where all the children just yell at each other to "stfu"?

[cold parrot]

welcome to the internet Bright

[rich cloak]

@brisk mortar could you speak a word of might?

[cold parrot]

unfortunately, yes

[torpid wraith]

im curious acrimon, would you call someon that in person?

[silver dome]

ikr

lol

you seem like a white 14 year old weeb to me

[weary badge]

I mean honestly I think we can look past the fact that volkov is screwing around and calling out "racism" while he wouldnt care less about it truly

[rapid minnow]

Is there a way I can specifically barter my Tushonka (Not found in raid) for the 120 5.45x39 BT Ammo? I don't wanna barter my "found in raid" Tushonka.

[silver dome]

anime pp's

[wispy pecan]

wait is the game down

[cold parrot]

yes

[wispy pecan]

ok i thought my game broke

[cold parrot]

@torpid wraith yes

nah new patch

[waxen forge]

I now this is crazy talk but maybe just END IT and move on

Check #eft-announcements

[cold parrot]

seems like a fine idea to me

[torpid wraith]

nah, racisim shouldnt be just passed over and ignored. thats how it stays prevalent

[waxen forge]

Then take it to #general-chat Or DM's

[solemn pike]

Where can I go to talk to someone who does hatchling?

to debate it.

[waxen forge]

The game is down for 2 hours

Come back then

Nobody can run atm

[brisk mortar]

@rich cloak

Blyat

[rich cloak]

@solemn pike hatchling bad

[solemn pike]

I feel like being a hatchling isn't super viable. BSG taking steps to crack down isnt the worst thing.

and anyway

[rapid minnow]

How do I level up my health skill fast? Is it consistently healing?

[solemn pike]

even if it were?

[waxen forge]

Captain. Probably a conversation for #general-chat

[solemn pike]

As a hatchling you can make money, or thats the theory right? Spend some of that on a 12k salewa bag and heal up post raid.

General Chat is on slow mode, and its also a shit show right now.

[rapid minnow]

Is recoil skill something your PMC can forget over time if I don't play the game for a while?

[waxen forge]

Doesn't make it a talk about it here thing

[brisk mortar]

#eft-chat or #beginners-chat then

[rich cloak]

Thank you kam

[solemn pike]

You know, all due respect, its not like any conversations in here are especially produtive.....

at the moment.

[brisk mortar]

This channel isn't for debating, it's for helping.

And no, debating hatchlings isn't helping anyone.

[solemn pike]

Yeah whatever.

[rapid minnow]

Help me level up health skill fast, give me a good method

Need level 2 for med station upgrade

[waxen forge]

Injure and heal

[torpid wraith]

you level health by getting damaged and healing

so, play the game

be aggro

[gray mountain]

play the game, get hurt

wait, actually if I died with my pmc during the update

do I lose my gear?

[waxen forge]

Possibly

[rapid minnow]

What if I keep burning myself at the fire barrels in interchange then keep healing

[waxen forge]

Escapers, @news

In the next hour we plan to install an update for Escape from Tarkov, the installation will take up to 2 hours - at this time the game will be unavailable. Important: if you were in the game as a scav at the moment of the start of the update - you can lose your loot

#eft-announcements

[gray mountain]

Maybe nitrou

[waxen forge]

Could work @rapid minnow

[rapid minnow]

Does Shoreline have a Scav Boss?

I have to play shoreline for Signal Pt 1, never played it before

Lol so I have to avoid the beach then

[bold kernel]

Shoreline just has raiders, no scav boss

;)

[brisk mortar]

@bold kernel
Can you please not?

[rapid minnow]

Raiders like the ones you see in Labs?

[bold kernel]

Just a joke fella, sheesh

Imagine having fun amirite

Yes like those

[brisk mortar]

No fun allowed.

[bold kernel]

Apparently

[weary badge]

I've read on some reddit post about a "more gore" option that is (or was) somewhere in the settings, any info on this?

[brisk mortar]

Only Tarkov.

No fun.

[rapid minnow]

Do the raiders use the voice function a lot?

[waxen forge]

Yes

[rapid minnow]

All raiders speak English only?

[torpid wraith]

and russian

[rapid minnow]

Do raiders attack regular scavs or are they part of the same team

[wispy pecan]

can someone help me

if so dm me

[bold kernel]

They do not shoot regular scavs, they do shoot player scavs though

Consider shooting them in the head

[rapid minnow]

715 health?

wtf

[brisk mortar]

@wispy pecan
What's up?

[bold kernel]

Yup

[brisk mortar]

@rapid minnow
The Reserve boss has nearly 1k hp

[rapid minnow]

Yeah I gotta learn to acquire targets better/faster and go for the head

[cold parrot]

So two Mosin shots

[rapid minnow]

So like the head doesn't get a health buff? only the rest of the body

[cold parrot]

To chest

[bold kernel]

Yes but they do often wear high tier helmets

[wispy pecan]

@brisk mortar i am having trouble with the reshader thing

[bold kernel]

It's banned

[wispy pecan]

it says to delete it but its not even on my pc

[rapid minnow]

Maybe I'll use a Mosin with 7N1 or something

[cold parrot]

Ye

2 chest shots and ded

[rapid minnow]

I only have level 1 traders except Therapist lol

I'm level 13

[cold parrot]

Just grab i off flea

[bold kernel]

Go to "uninstall programs" Settings on your pc and try to look for the program, or try to verify your game files

Mosin is pretty good if you can aim

[rapid minnow]

I probably take too long to line up a headshot

[noble flower]

@wispy pecan reshade installs their filtures into the game folder EFT ( LIVE). For me there were 3 reshade files I needed to delete

[gritty cobalt]

@noble flower are you saying you got REshade to work?

[bold kernel]

Practice makes perfect

[noble flower]

no, Im saying there were 3 files I had to delete

[gritty cobalt]

I'm new to the game and have done OKish, but I've been running customs over and over to learn the map and I'm having a hard time progressing further

Is there a way I can play with people that aren't super good so I can learn with them?

[bold kernel]

#pvp-lfg

[gritty cobalt]

It feels very one sided at the moment

Ok, so just find groups?

[bold kernel]

Or branch out into other maps

Yeah just ask for some fellas to game with

[gritty cobalt]

What would branching out into other maps do?

[waxen forge]

Yes but game is down for the next hour or 2

[gritty cobalt]

I'm trying to learn a map

[waxen forge]

Get more experience

[noble flower]

Tkonpk you can practice in offline mode. You dont lose anything if you die, you dont lose any ammunition you use. But you also dont get anything you find

[waxen forge]

Have you started tasks

[bold kernel]

Then stick with customs

[gritty cobalt]

Oh that's awesome @noble flower that would help a lot

I have started task

I'm looking for two mp-133 shot guns

to unluck the 74u

[rough nymph]

umm this might seem like a dumb question but i was in the middle of a raid when the maintenance happened, i killed a pre geared guy and took hit beta backpack + gun. will i still have it when the servers come back up?

[waxen forge]

Just buy the shotguns

[bold kernel]

Yes if you were playing as PMC

[waxen forge]

Maybe

[gritty cobalt]

I'm no level 5 yet @waxen forge

[rough nymph]

yeah i was pmc

[noble flower]

@rough nymph yeah you should if you were PMC

[bold kernel]

If you were playing as a scav you'll lose your loot

[rough nymph]

nice

thank gof

[waxen forge]

Run another raid and loot and exit

[rough nymph]

god*

[waxen forge]

Examine everything every trader has

Can get to 5 easy

[gritty cobalt]

I've done 5 raids so far

[cold parrot]

@rapid minnow you don't need headshots

[gritty cobalt]

and I have 9 kills, but only 1 of those were players

[bold kernel]

Don't worry about it too much then, again, practice makes perfect

[cold parrot]

Mosin with 7n1 pierces t4 and t5 like paper

Just aim center mass

[noble flower]

that's not too bad @gritty cobalt . just keep at it. The quests/tasks helps you learn the game. I would also consume some of the content pestily does for guides etc. Probably took me a week of playing before I started to get comfortable.

[queen laurel]

HELP

[waxen forge]

Escapers, @news

In the next hour we plan to install an update for Escape from Tarkov, the installation will take up to 2 hours - at this time the game will be unavailable. Important: if you were in the game as a scav at the moment of the start of the update - you can lose your loot

#eft-announcements

[bold kernel]

I've been playing for 3 weeks and I still don't know what I'm doing hehehe

[gritty cobalt]

Pestily is a youtuber I'm guessing?

[noble flower]

@queen laurel #eft-announcements

[queen laurel]

oh ok ty guys

[hallow pelican]

@gritty cobalt YouTuber/streamer

[bold kernel]

Let's crack straight into it

[gritty cobalt]

Ok, cool. I'll watch his videos

[waxen forge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdfcETFsQMI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkpwFfAqV8Q

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

[noble flower]

@gritty cobalt he has a really good series where he starts a new account and plays from scratch and as he plays he talks about what to do in the begionning and how you might want to play

[gritty cobalt]

Awesome, thanks guys. I'll consume all this stuff. Apex Legends was my first BR and I hit predator, but this game is totally different

[noble flower]

some tips and tricks, good loot locations

[gritty cobalt]

I need to learn the mechanics

Ok, perfect, thanks again

[weary badge]

Btw if you play with the mosin for example and try to get long distance shots, do you have to account for bullet drop or time before the bullet reaches the enemy

[gray mountain]

DeadlySlob makes some good stuff as well

[bold kernel]

Yes you do

[noble flower]

@gritty cobalt well this isnt a BR or a competitive shooter :D this is more like a WoW mixed with Diablo but in a First person shooter setting

[bold kernel]

But since the mosin only fits a 3.5x scope, you don't really have to worry about those things too much. There will not be much bullet drop and the bullet will be there quickly ^^

[noble flower]

@bold kernel you can have most scopes on mosin, I usually uses a Valday with my mosin

[weary badge]

I see, thanks for the info

[bold kernel]

Oh right, you can add the mount thing

My bad

[noble flower]

yea, either Tri-rail, or kochetov+arbalet

[bold kernel]

Never really used the mosin, I like the opsks a lot

[graceful burrow]

Any tips for finding Exfils and not dying trying to get there?

[noble flower]

anyways, but like Hyporian said, you dont usually get into positions where you have to account for bullet drop. But you can put yourself in those positions and wait for someone to show up on that range. then you have to account for the bullet drop

[bold kernel]

Keep a map open on your second screen, phone or even print one out :p

[noble flower]

@graceful burrow use the maps on the tarkov wiki

[graceful burrow]

OK, thank you

[noble flower]

I can send you linka to the maps I find the easiest to read

if yo uwant

[graceful burrow]

Would be very nice

[brisk mortar]

@wispy pecan
Wait, are you talking about the red banner on the launcher?

[bold kernel]

What maps are you playing on @graceful burrow ?

[silver dome]

????

[plucky goblet]

@gritty cobalt this isnt a battle royale

[silver dome]

can i play now?

[bold kernel]

No

Probably another hour

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/ef16q8/patch_notes_for_today/

Here's the patch notes for all those unable to get on the forums

[unborn parrot]

thx

[bold kernel]

"If your character died without an equipped firearm (any kind of), then after the raid he will recover only 1% of health, not 30%"

OOF Hatchlings

[upbeat flax]

@silver dome i thought you're smart enough to log on to see the notes

[silver dome]

i did log on but it still doeesnt work

[upbeat flax]

i smell not

[silver dome]

stfu salty cunt

[bold kernel]

Can confirm logging in does not help

[cold parrot]

@thick briar would you fancy taking a look at language here

[trail narwhal]

Is the game back up?

[gray mountain]

probably not

[brisk mortar]

Watch #eft-announcements for updates.

[silver dome]

is therea karma system>

[gray mountain]

No

[silver dome]

wtf

then why was my mate talkin about friendly scavs and such

[tribal shale]

coz u have that in reserve to exit

there are area u need friendly scav together with PMC to extract

that is if u find one 😄

which could be u being a scav, your friend being a PMC

or you guys being PMC, happen to find a friendly player scav, which would be extremely hard

or vice versa haha 😄

[half jackal]

@silver dome Not yet*, its planned in some form.

[silver dome]

lol

bruh how longs this shit taking

[bold kernel]

It's extended by 30 minutes

Happened just 2 minutes ago

[silver dome]

for fucks sake

2 hr 30 mins for a 5 min update

[torpid wraith]

almost as if developing/updating a game is hard af and requires alot of little things going correctly and not fucking up

[bold anchor]

As a developer myself it is extreeemly hard

[bold kernel]

what if i can't afford to buy wepon

wtf

[silver dome]

stfu

they shouldnt do it now

@bold kernel scav runs

[bold kernel]

Its only a tuesday

[silver dome]

they added that for this very reason

[torpid wraith]

nothing ive seen you type in here has led me to believe you are older than 11 years old vol

[rapid minnow]

He posted pics of Roblox here

[zinc bronze]

toxic

[pastel lagoon]

i got a question, since nobody in the eft chat answered, i hope yall can help. hatchling is when you go in with nothing right? ive never done a hatchling run, they sound like its for ppl who just want to take small amounts of loot and leave, and that kinda takes away the tactial gunfight fun of tarkov

[torpid wraith]

they usually rush high profile loot areas and get out as fast as possible

and ye you go in with literally nothing besides melee, maybe heals

[sonic lake]

at least always bring a pistol into a raid

a single pistol kill can allow you to snowball that raid into something huge

and also hatchlings dont have guns lul

[bold kernel]

why use a hatchet

[rapid minnow]

hatchlings only take their melee weapon with them

[bold kernel]

when u have mosins

can you still put ammo into your secure container?

[torpid wraith]

yes

[bold kernel]

lmao

step 1 take mosin

step 2 shoot

step 3 when out of ammo take out 5 boolet from secure

[sonic lake]

mosins are okay

[bold kernel]

step 4 repeat from step 2

[sonic lake]

you just dont have the mobility you do with pistols

[bold kernel]

mobility won't do you much when you shoot popcorn at your enemies

[sonic lake]

i was talking about loot runs lmao

[gritty cobalt]

I don't see the LFG channel

[sonic lake]

tkonpk

[gritty cobalt]

Is there something I need to do to unlock it?

[sonic lake]

you need to do #521628660298678283 and #news-setup

if youve done that

[gritty cobalt]

Ok, one moment

[sonic lake]

contact modmail if it still doesnt work

[bold kernel]

well

i don't do any killing in my loot runs

[sonic lake]

welp

you got a pistol if you need it

[bold kernel]

but as i said

a pistol won't do shit

[sonic lake]

x to douby

but oaky

[bold kernel]

no need to doubt

[tribal cove]

I am lvl 6. Should I start upgrading the hideout? Is it that useful?

[bold kernel]

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

[sonic lake]

pistol rounds are shit

[bold kernel]

@tribal cove if you wanna play longterm sure but rn you have better things to spend your money on

[sonic lake]

but when all you go up against at loot spots are hatchlings

its all you need

[tribal cove]

Yea. I agree

[sonic lake]

scavs have no armor usually

[bold kernel]

but there literally won't be hatchlings anymore

[sonic lake]

and you can headshot them if they can

[bold kernel]

not after this update

[sonic lake]

dude

its irrelevant

its the same cost for a full heal

as it was before

[bold kernel]

how

[sonic lake]

2 car medkits to full

same with only 1% of health

435 hp

2 car kits

full

[bold kernel]

ye but you'd have a little bit of your car left

it adds up overtime

[sonic lake]

its irrelevant

[bold kernel]

literally how?

[sonic lake]

if youre a successful hatchling it doesnt mean a thing

that 2k is nothing

[bold kernel]

and how can you exactly be

a "successful hatchling"

[sonic lake]

by gammaing gpus

lmfao

by actually getting loot in hatchet runs

[bold kernel]

in my eyes any hatchling is a failure

[sonic lake]

thats what hatchlings do

well it doesnt matter what you think

update is useless lmao

only really punishes noobs imo

[bold kernel]

and tbh

idc

about the loot being taken

it's just the immersion

you're in a warzone

hyper realistic

[sonic lake]

alright

im out lmao

[bold kernel]

you can die in one shot

and you have some retard

running around with a hatchet

[silver dome]

new guns?

[sonic lake]

nop

[bold kernel]

it was even worse before when they could pull out an smg out of their ass

literally fortnite

[sonic lake]

doesnt seem like it volkov

[bold kernel]

just slap some extra vibrance from muh reshade

and you get call of tarkov
