but if you are new chances are thats going to lower your survival rate
@thin pollen Interchange would be great for you then. Lots of room to avoid and just loot.
your survival rate at the start is low af to begin with
@grave helm the strat thus far as been to stick to the outter edges of the maps.
@heavy kraken seems legit
I started 2 weeks ago and went for pistol pmc raids
@thin pollen In my experience it also helps a ton to dial in with at least a second person. Helps a ton.
Lost all my guns and then went for hatchling runs. By now I can kill higher geared ppl cause of my positioning
So, sell bitcoins and GP's, don't use em for mechanic trade cuz it ain't worth as much correct?
@thin pollen most ppl run on the edge of the map to get from point A to B faster
ahh @heavy kraken i dont have friends :D
@thin pollen I'll dial with you. Not a problem.
@thin pollen #news-setup will unlock new chats like #pvp-lfg 😛
do scavs just spawn anywhere, or do they have specific locations where they spawn on each map?
@grave helm i figure its a strat people use. was hoping as people played more and got better, theyd move away from it
@pseudo mural depends on the gun u want to buy
running on the edges can very quickly run you into peeps
@frozen bone My understanding is specific areas
well I mean, the m4 spacegun is worth less than the 2x bitcoin 3x GP right?
@thin pollen nah its the most used method I know when it comes to movement since beginners do it so #freeDOGtags and loot
@grave helm damn, they played me like a fiddle
@heavy kraken how do i add you brother man
I died multiple times cause I met a fully geared person. my Survive rate went up when I went thro the middle by a lot
thanks @heavy kraken
hey does anyone have a screenshot of the full launcher with the user action required button up? i want to know where to set up my auto clicker so i can download over night.thanks
@thin pollen Send me a friend request on discord and we can dial now if you'd like
@heavy kraken sure thing, let me boot up
ghost ping
?
wrong chat
lol
i restarted my discord in Admin mode and it cleared the chat in this place
Duo Bravo now.
HAHAHAH
How is that spam?
You gotta sprint to the place they spawn
Thats a legitimate tip
Did russia internet shutdown effect Tarkov?
Is being ungrateful allowed in here?
He's not hard to find. Check gas station and dorms, try not to get clapped
I ask because today day only tested internet Isolation...
your hands are rip
Any Sherpas on that want to play? Im new and need some guidance
hmm i dont know what to do. damn its like play dark souls for the first time. essentially would someone like to guide me through the game?
@brave canyon there is a sherpa chat where they will be more than happy to help you learn maps, understand healing system, as well as ammo etc..
first turn off your spotify music @jagged comet
well im just chillin
Oh, I must be blind then, I dont see a Sherpa Channel
unless its not in this Discord
I'm pretty sure this is the channel you look for sherpas?
You Can look for Sherpas here.
is the new bold action good?
The only Sherpa chat is only accessible by Sherpas.
ah, ok
To up my Mastering of a certain gun do I need to hit a target or just shoot?
Hey guys what does havign a level 3 med station unlock for me in the hideout?
Not what I can craft but what I am able to upgrade station wise in the hideout
Anyone wanna hop in a match and teac me? my aim isnt beginner at all just the game
Is it a bad idea to do my kill 5 scavs at customs quest as a scav
Do I need to extract too?
You cannot do those kinds of quests as a scav @proper ginkgo
@proper ginkgo you cant do quest for your pmc as a scav..
Some gathering quests you can do as a scav
Ahhhh ok tyvm
@brazen owl Just shoot
looking for some help. just got the game. (i thought dark souls didnt hold your hand lol)
Probably got a better shot in #pvp-lfg
Unless you're looking for a sherpa
Anyone having the issue where ALT + Left clicking wont equip items ?
insurance wont let me equip ANYTHING
really annoying
I can ALT click armored rigs yet not helmets
i cant alt click ANYTHING from my insurance onto my character
anything that doesnt hold your hands is most likely a good game since the community is actually strong supportive
probably should look for a sherpa to start?
so i need to make that workbench in the hideout in order to mod weapons
adams yep thats how it is i.e. elite
@lofty shuttle you dont need that to mod but it makes it easier
@bold kernel wdym
And you can only alt+click gear if there's nothing in the slot
i have NOTHING on my character
You need to put it in your stash
@grave helm
And equip it from there
btw Geksa or EKO ? eko has pen but Geksa one taps thoraxs with no armor
@bold kernel before this patch today i could alt + click from insurance onto my character
so should in lfg should i look for a sherpa or is that in here?
@lofty shuttle Yeah so? what do you want to show me 😄
hmmm, EKO btw
everyone seems to buy Geksa
But in that case I'm not sure what the issue is with alt+click
Geksa makes more sense if you're doing leg meta
nah im going huntin
Which with .366 guns you probably should be doing, in hindsight
Found it on a scav aswell @bold kernel tell me if its good
@grave helm its says weapon modification bonus is required to be unlocked whenever i try to hit that mod button
If you're not going for legs then EKO will be better, but I think you'll have a hard time killing people
no shit i will
but im just tryin to have fun lol
@lofty shuttle Yeah, you can always swap out the gun parts one by one but if the workbench you can see exactly what gun parts work and what not
Nikita didnt create tarkov to have fun!

I NEED A DUO IM SAVAGE AND ACCURATE PLZ DM ME FOR FURTHER TARKOVING
just need help just got the game and want a bit of an intro.
@bold kernel F
Idk is it just me or am I the only one who looked at thousand of guys, tips and tricks before playing the game lmao
@grave helm childs play
@grave helm i sure did
I think you’re one of a few. Lol
I just watched Kotton and Shroud tbh, also watched a beginner video while downloading
Clearly most didn’t. Hey, this $140 game looks cool, let’s try it out.
stoutishsugar
#9806 i can help you alo
Like ppl get in here never played the game and they already want a hand to hold them and teach them everything
@grand elm you mean 45 
@sacred mortar yeh sure

imagine losing all your guns at the beginning
and then being forced to do hatchling runs
I just kept buying pistols over and over again lul
I lost all my gear when I started and I went for pistol a bit of ammo xd
Hathcet KEKW
In the beginning you NEED to know how to make money and what to pick up / not
I dont know how the streamers have great guns and just survive
honestly that helps 10000000% in not losing all your money
Im getting close tho
@bold kernel expierence
very clear scope picture
what ammo does the gun use ?
I wanna do more nightraids but I always think the big boys are doing those
.366 tkm 
Am I wrong for thinking that?
Yes you are wrong
do you see my stats? I run a lot of night raids and either see no other pmc or a big boy
it's slightly better than the PU scope for me
putting it on the veprkm makes a cheap deadly ass combo
43k for a BP spittin' murder machine
xd ima use it on the hk 416a5
it being a jaegar lvl 1 scope for 14k is nuts
@steady pilot thought it was 17k
looks like better FOV than a ACOG
it's not adjustable
but has higher FOV than any of the others
without a bunch of shit taking up space
got the nigh vision scope on the AK 
it's the only long range scope I've used today and I've gotten like 8 player kills and killed 14 scavs(all on woods)
in 3 raids total
ya, it's what I've been using
no clutter like the 1p59
but it's also not got a closer zoom
1p59 is also 3x
ya
which scope
anyways ya, it's really good
the mount is like 1.7k+17k scope(LL1)
i took it out and dropped the 2 scavs on scav island from the ruined road exfil
Is there any point to buying the white paper maps from Therapist?
Not anymore.
Oh ok. Tyvm ❤️
In the previous wipes you were able to select a spawn.. but it doesnt work anymore..
If y extract is old road gate and old gas station on customs, can someone tell me where that is? Apparently I went to the wrong area
What is the attachment to place an angled sight on an AK-74?
Don't you not lose your melee weapon?
@proper ginkgo no
Then why can it be insured
Thats a good question.. you can insure your pouch Tool, but it wont make any sense
how come when I aim down sights and shoot with the p90 my bullets don't hit where my sight is @steady pilot
What do I need to install in order to place these on my AK-74
I was thinking about it, with the base scope
anyone know how to refuel fuel containers
you dont
@open basin can you help me?
with what 
My p90 wont shoot where im aiming
i put a sight on it and it shoots below where I am aiming
Aim better 🤷
i tried changing zeroing and didnt work
Zeroing has nothing to do with close range
what market Rep do you need to unlock more auction slots?
okwell
eXecutex
@placid path
i just aim higher lul
go into woods without armor, use a veprKM with a scope
thanks!
sit in a bush until 15 minutes left
woof, thats a lot of rep lol
clean up scavvy boys, you dont HAVE to extract
no that didnt do anything
it must be because the sight is so far up on the gun compared to the barrel i guess
umm idk there is a mount on the gun and i put a sight on it
or is that a p90
p90
hmm ok no fix for it?
You dont need to zero a 1x sight...
Fuck, you dont even need to zero a sight at all. Dont run red dots on the hand guard, run them on the dust cover.
Its not broken. Lol
no
ok
are all offline raids still fucked?
what's wrong with running red dots on the handguard?
best starter gun @chat
ya basically that's what most of us run
except red dot for customs and factory, scope for shoreline and woods and maybe interchange
sight is above the barrel a good 3 inches plus you are 5 feet from a target, thats your problem
^^
yeah i just learned to aim a bit higher when that happens
Just bought the game yesterday and cant learn/play it without offline mode to learn the maps 😦
Same here, I'm just playing like I'm a scav without a gun every time lol
" dont need to zero sights at all" this post was made by spray and pry at 50m gang.
what does zeroing sights do?
Effectively increases the range your sights are good for
pressing pageup/down moves the zero from 25/50/100/150/200/250/300 etc
It adjusts the scope and makes the normal crosshair "zeroed" in at 100m, 150m, 200m, etc.
So the same reticle will equal whichever distance you set it at, then you still have the tick marks under that for further shots
Yes
Reshala can stay inside dorms or outside it?
Whats the chance of him spawning?
but 99% of the time in 3 story or gas station
Not sure on number. Id say 33% maybe less.
Ugh, having a hard time finding him
Howdy
I use a laser instead of ADSing in close range
it works well
allows you to adjust your recoil
lasers are cool til you realize your enemy can see them just as good as you can
yup
i only keep it on in places like dorm, factory, where suprise isn't really gonna help tons
Is it just me or are all the tryhards on rn
LOL...
Dont be mad if you just got the game and a level 48 kills you... I mean, it happens.
ya
Be more tactical
I get domed by lvl 48-50s all the time
But those same "try hards" are in here trying to give the new guys advice and no one wants to take it. Lol to each their own
I feel like lots of us take the advice
I'm trying to find some salewa kits. Which map would I have a good chance of that?
Customs stashes
Interchange or customs stashes
If youre new, go learn customs and find a stash map and loot them all
shoreline stashes has em too but everyone hates shoreline
youll be rich by the end of the night
I started with customs, and died a lot!
Okay so maybe the play style your using doesnt work
I've been running interchange the past 2 hours and haven't died yet
shoreline has 37.
what are stashes
stashes?
<--3 days into playing :/
stashes are spots where jaeger hides items
@grand elm yea, probably not. I feel like there's a point or two in customs where I have to cross out in the open and that's where I have a bad time
you can find lots of em in interchange shoreline and customs
i got less than 300k 😦
So DONT SPRINT
unless youre passing those areas
I never sprint, unless its necessary
Are stashes the bags and boxes that I can loot from?
All the stashes are on the edge of the map. An effective stash run on customs should take at least 35 minutes
Yes
One has a black lid the other looks like a thatch cover
Oh ok. I've seen those
Its good to know whats valuable and whats not
Theyre all in light traffic areas
35min!? I'm thankful I survive for 10min lol
Like I said, be tactical. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast
So, any advice crossing the bridge?
gas station radio tower factory far corner admin gate warehouse road and terminal are pretty high traffic I think
oddly, terminal is getting a lot of traffic lately in my games
Be aware that theyre all choke points, however.
Check bushes. If your mouse isnt moving in a 360 all game then youre not playing this right
I thought so. I've spent a lot of time trying to find cover while crossing
If your head isnt on a swivel constantly you will die.
period
Look at a spawn map as well.
Ah. Will begin swivling
That will aide in success big time
I think that's an issue I have when I have a friend
I feel more secure so I'm not as aware
Thanks for the advice and map! I'm going to try it with a scav then pmc again
I need help with shoreline quests
I need help with shoreline quests #beginners-assistance
It wont let me install the game becuase of this, any help?
@raw shale use #community-support for that
I need help with shoreline quests #beginners-assistance
Literaly justtold you where to post... Lol
go to #pvp-lfg and say "I need help doing shoreline quest"
should be more useful like skylegg said
so do i always bring my secure container with me?
thanks
Is this map up to date because it doesn't seem like it at all (http://www.gamemaps.co.uk/game/tarkov/maps/interchange_full2)
I tried following it while in game and it seems so off
whats off about it
Well I was in idea and half of it was wrong, half the shit wasn't there, the layout doesn't match. Then I exited from the south west into the rest of the mall and same thing, the layout is completely off
If offline mode worked I'd double check in there but that's broken
Interchange in game and interchange on a map seem very different. Its easily the most confusing map there is
the in-store layouts are pretty useless
the wiki map is quite good for interchange.
but honestly, in-side you just gotta see for yourself to fully understand it.
but the extracts are both outside and easy to find on the wiki map
the loot seems about right
yeah the map is up-to-date
it just doesn't show everything
like the supermarket layout
and neither are the offices shown very well
or the parking lots lmao
don't use it to find your way through the maze that is interchange.
yeah
just use it roughly to get an idea where you are.
When youre in interchange and youre looking at a map, I realized you need to kinda envision IN GAME as flipped 90 degrees as compared to the map.
What seems like the front of the store on the map really isnt the front in game
For those asking about Customs stashes. Didnt even need to fight any players. ALL stashes looted and marked room. Thats it. All I brought in was VSS and gear.
you found 3 marked keys 
2 bitcoins, marked key I found
on PMC's I average about 400-500k on shoreline, on customs I usually have to fight a player or two
coins in stashes and key in a jacket
I used to hate LZSH helmet, but god that helmet has saved me so many times.
ya I just found a roley, a bronze lion and a book in a single safe earlier
Helmets are pointless unless its killa helmet. my opinion
so that's like, 300k?
not including everything else I found
customs is decent, shoreline just has more stashes and space allowing you to skip combat if you want
Dont get me wrong, they CAN help
either way to make money, stashes is the way to go
although I did get exfil camped on a scav earlier, dude was on the rocks by tunnel
just chillin
i saw him first though
i always look up there, because of one of anton's videos where there was a two man squad up there and just a line of bodies near the ambulance
generally you won't see exfil campers there, more likely on interchange, if you do get an exfil camper it's cuz you accidently ran into another dude exfilling
how do i mount a scope to the Mosin
then, grab a pilad 043-02 mount
is there a way to turn dollars into roubles?
Sell dollars on market
^
true
peacekeeper is such a good trader though
problem is im not level 5
I always run out of dollars for some reason
ok
@pseudo muralIf you get exfil camped its because youre not aware of your surroundings
If you need dollars, sell to peacekeeper
Is there a way to mark, or otherwise tell, what ammo you have loaded in your magazines?
@pseudo mural im brand new is there any traders that sell that mount
you realize you can't see behind the rocks at exfil there right? until your in the exfil
which exfil?
You can Alt+T and itll tell you what the top round is
just always expect people there
yep
I do
Ok. I will just keep separated in my bag and remember what I have loaded.
I prefire
you're the one that peeks
that's why I killed them
Literally, expect people to be everywhere
and got out
If you dont, good luck
the one that peeks has peekers advantage
I know...that's why I pre-fired and killed them and extracted
couldn't loot the bodies cuz I dunno how to cancel an exfil
i've only seen exfil campers like 2 times ever since wipe
it's not really an issue imho
It's only happened to me once on shoreline
Also, you can double click the mag and look at the tip of the bullet and usually tell what it is, if you know what rounds look like that is
no that's not entirely true
I once got popped going rock passage but that's cuz he was an amazing shot
he wasn't camping though, think he was checking for the green smoke from resort roof and just happened to see me and get basically a perfect shot
except the 9x19 PSO'
s and PST's look the same
with 100 m/s muzzle velocity difference.
Graceless, some of the traders sell mounts but it's not until LL2 iirc?
you can grab a veprKM+bastion+okp7 for fairly cheap once you get FM
you don't even need bastion if you go okp7
no
okp-7 has a pre-mount
like a bridge or w/e you call it
it's basically same thing though
because there's an okp-7 that does need bastion
and an okp-7 that doesn't need it
saves hassle
ya, I'd rather have the bastion then
because you can mount better sights than the bullseye
oh I even forgot
the okp-7 that requires the bastion
is absolute dogshit
compared to 16k okp-7
they're different
ya, but I tihnk I'd still rather have the flexibility of mounting a different sight later on
the bullseye thing is not on the 16k okp-7
The okp WITH OUT the dove tail mount is trash
The DT Okp-7 is the best red dot in the game
so how do you heal without any med packs?
Or, green arrow, rather
imo the pk-06 is better
but that's preferencde
but we can all agree that 10k okp-7 is trash
it's such a dumb sight lol
@novel shuttle you dont
you heal through Salewa/CAR Kit or ifak
generally
pk-06 gang
i run the pk06 constantly too
so how do i ever use my PMC character if i cant heal him?
@novel shuttle you heal him
I mean, for guns with rails yes, I use Pk. But anything that doesnt have rail option I use okp
why cant you heal it?
lately I've been going into raids with the P159/69 combo
i have no med packs
Lol
then buy them? xd
So buy some....
for shoreline/woods
although the new 17k version from jaeger is amazing
probably my favorite scope now
also woods scavs seem to have the vpo-215 with that scope in abundance
cuz I have like 6 now, out of the 15 scavs I killed 6 had that
i dont have any ruples to buy medpacks
you spent your entire 300K?
https://youtu.be/N2yyNEdjBKQ hacking?
If anyone has any idea on what happened here I would appreciate it. My assumption is hacking, but maybe this guy was in some god spot
where could I send this to
no, i have 100000 at least, but when i try to buy it says i dont have enough
from the therapist
Lol probably made one sick gun and lost it first raid. Tip to the new guys: DONT BUILD ANY GUNS. DONT BUY ANY GEAR. You dont need it. Run your scavs. Go in with an AK and a backpack
yeah the iron sights mosin and sks is deadly
yeah true its good
Hunter with a red dot and youre golden. 10 rd mags too
m80. Dont buy any AP ammo. Learn how to get kills with shit and when you can afford the good stuff youll appreciate it
yeah I mean m80 is good anyways
And if you dont need to take a fight, dont. If youre gonna shoot at a geared guy just remember, his helmet/armor IS going to stop your first round. Hes going to turn on you and, having game sense, know exactly wher you are based on sound and kill you
And insure everything. Being new, us "vets" dont want your gear. Were only killing you so you dont try to kill us. Dont take it personally. If I didnt have to kill anyone under level 15 I wouldnt.
no1 picks up armor or armored rigs anyways most of the time.
it's such bad value per slot.
if gen4 is half broken or broken, 99% of the time i cba to bring it.
they take up so much space.
ofcourse scavs will grab it and wear them. they dont have anything anyways
If you find a 50k armor and its 20k to repair it to 90% of its max value Its worth it.
any armor that costs 50k isnt worth it at 100%
Ultrahighweight polyethene armor or titan. Rest is yucky
LMFAO
although zhuk-6 has it's use if it's full durability
but expensive for a one maybe 2 time use imo
UH
uh*
so
weird thing just happened lol
i damaged my scav via fire on accident
and it caused the AI scavs to turn on me
What do tactical sport headsets do?
yeah I find those all the time and repair them if they are not to bad
ya man, 47k for T4 is amazing
So, if you hurt your scav via fire
it pisses other scavs off apparently
lul
That was the strangest thing man
Uhh guys why am I sitting on 100+ ping on my local servers?
this morning my ping on singapore was 60 and now it's 140+
sum is going on with your internet chief
30 down ._.
but 140+ ping is kinda weird yea
do you actually notice it ingame though?
anyone figured out if the tree does anything or just decoration
yep
just decoration
my ingame ping is 150 ms
idk, i never had ping issues so my only guess is ur internet
Singapore Server is 200 ms and Austrlia Sydney is 170ms? I love closer to singapore
I can't even choose a server
idk how the launcher determines where ur going to be placed
all i know is that I get placed with russians
while they're pretty far off from me.
i believe you are able to manual select it, but im ingame atm
so i cant check
Maybe try #community-support
Reset the modem. see if that helps anything.
can i get another good player to help me with PVP on reserve helping a nnot so good PVP player
why can't i put this muzzle on ak74n
5.45x39 pws
its for 5.56 ak
oh
ak-102 I think it is
which one should i use instead then
GOD I FUCKING HATE MY SELF I LEFT MY GOD DAMN FUEL ON OVER NIGHT
Yea I do that all the time
Get used to that because once you have the bitcoin farm it runs 24/7
Tbh idk if bitcoin farm produces enough to pay for fuel anymore XD
I'm super new and scaving to learn. Should I kill a scav for a bp when I start if I don't have one?
how do i find maps, or extraction points?
the internet]
@novel shuttle - literally google tarkov + map name
Do you have a specific one you're looking to use
why is the cabinet key going for 58k 
well, it says i dont have a proper map in my inventory--so it must be an in game item.....
The ingame maps are trash, don't worry about that menu
Yeah, you can get them
But don't worry about that ^
They bad
Which map are ya doing
so the only way to find how to extract in the game, is to search google? that seems counterintuitive....
That is the game though. This game is brutal, both in survival and knowledge
You need to use spreadsheets to determine ammo usage
If you're not willing to watch youtube/twitch streams of maps, you'll HAVE to google them
or stumble upon them yourself (not recommended)
my friend is going to buy EFT I bought it a long time ago and he is wondering what the season pass contains and if he needs it to play all the new maps that are out right now
Buying the base game gets ya everthing. the upsells are for larger stashes, better guns on wipe, and a better "container"
Container = anal cavity, where you put good stuff you don't wanna lose
Ew
oh heeeyyyyy 🍑
I aint about that poop shoot life
ok, next question. When looking at doors, how do you scroll to the other 3 options besides "breach"
If they are the greyed out ones, i believe they haven't been implemented yet
If it says "breach" odds are it needs a key to open, and you just don't have it
ok, thanks.
Yeppers....
Now, back to the important topic... @lone tide want to grab dinner sometime? 😛
whats a good place to find salewas for therapist first quest?
Flea market :p
Yeah, I know. But the locations are a bit hot if you're not gonna have good gear
That was a yes to flea market, not dinner... Right? XD
how do i get different melee weapons?
Sometimes scavs will have an antique axe, boss on.. Woods? has red rebel pickaxe i think
ok thx
@stark coyote - Of course. My boyf is a good cook tho so I'm deferring to him on the plan
I was told to just use pistol as PMC while learning. What ammo should I use
No clue where you get the tac sword, but flea market is where you can buy all the things
Use a veprkm instead, pistols are trash, veprkm is super cheap and not a bad gun
@lone tide Oooo, what's he making?
I really have to get better at judging what time to start maps so I don't end up in the dark
Tonight we had porkchops. They be 🔥
was doing pretty well then got caught in the dark and having to find my way blind
@proper ginkgo This is the veprkm build i run, it is dirt cheap and it tends to come back if you insure it
does someone want to team?
Become blue then maybe
Porkchops.... Not my meat tbh, but i wouldn't mind trying your bfs 😉 XD
Hey, where do I go to find people to play with? I'm new to game
what does pmc mean
@stark coyote he honestly is the best cook
I'll let him know you want to sample his meat 😉
Hahahaha, thanks, you're a peach, putting up with my nonsense 😛
@fluid path
PMC is your main character, the one you're getting your stash off of
brb, in a game
Is anyone interested in teaming up and playing a couple of games? Know the basics so not too new to game or genre, have a mic so communication will not be a problem
@lone tide hmu sometime though for real, you're too chill not to be fun to play with. I promise not to seduce your master chef boyfriend :p
@potent karma also
go to #news-setup and #521628660298678283
so you can see the rest of the discord
@stark coyote Haha aight. He's pretty seducable, but I think I got him on lock
I think we scaving tonight
Im dying more in interchange than I do at factory lol
yo guys i just found 2 Lab keycards what do i do with them
Sell them
i extracted when i got them and some crazy gear from the store
Should go for around 200k on the flea market
@proper ginkgo You need to change your route then. Are you just tryna to get money or you tryna to get Gear ™️
do people buy them alot?
yup, 150-180 for an instant sale
Yes
damn LETS GO
Hell yeah sell it
@lone tide is that a challenge? I'm pretty seductive y'know
im brand new so that is big money
@lone tide I guess money? Im brand new
its big for a player starting out absolutely
Sell them and save for a Lucky Scav case
What's his name? 🤣
Helps immensely as you get started
I dont have the flea market unlocked idk how im not level 5
just hold on to em
scav case is an excellent choice, it will help you channel your inner hoarder then you will be thankful when you already have quest/crafting items you need later
so i killed 3 scavs on customs, but only 1 counted for Prapor? why is that?
yeah
@stark coyote Where should I buy the vepr?
flea market
once i extracted, it said 3 scav kills...
ah dont have it yet
Vepr hunter is also an amazing gun, i think prapor sells the veprkm
and i saw all 3 bodies

do player scavs not count maybe?
Hrm. Weird. You should be able to watch the quest progress up kill by kill in game.
im having a really hard time not dying
The stat screen is super wonky, can even show you stats from previous games.
how do you buy something from the trader, its a really weird menu and there isnt really any accept button
@elder fulcrum If you're dying, try slowing down a bit. Go the long way.
Wear Com-Tacs.
Walk,. don't run.
Left behind by whom?
the edition
@elder fulcrum everyone that started out had. It's mostly because of lack of map knowledge, it's been said a lot of times. but the moment you understand litterly every corner of a map, you'll survive a lot more.
most of the deaths happen because you just wander around not knowing where the hotspots are and how to react when players are nearby or where to go to
You shouldn't buy a bunch of guns and armor every raid until you know a lot more.
Map knowledge and positioning are going to win you most fights
i lost most of my stuff attempting money runs with my friends
Just play scav exclusively till you got ur money up
rather than stare at an empty bank
Try to use gear from a scav run, or the cost-effective guns like SKS, Hunter, VEPR-136
dont buy armor, but i would buy GSSH hearing from Ragman
how do you accept something from a trader? ive put rubles in the slot but there isnt really any.. button or anything to click.
Is there Receive All at the bottom?
Is anyone down to squad up and help me, i have been having a really rough time
Hmm. Weird resolution or UI scale problem maybe?
@toxic magnet #pvp-lfg
could work
although this chat can be used aswell for looking I guess
The game is based around sound, youre playing blind if youre not listening. Whether you use Peltors, Com-tac, Sordins, or trash GSSH, you need to hear other people.
Sordins
whats the key to switch between scopes
comtact2 has trash sound (everything sounds muffled and weird?), sports inaccurate distance presentation, GSSH earrape when walking or walking through a bush,
Sordins if you wanna hear people/gunshots better and have a nice bassy sound
sordins 2 bass
@frosty crown ctrl-right click
but the inaccurate sound (distance) makes it unbearable
most of the raids ive done have been with my friends on exchange and just dying to people i didnt see or hear
when i do factory runs i usually get a few kills but barely ever get out
Playing with experienced friends can be super lame
^
Everybody rushing away to who tf knows where, no commentary, barely keep up, where tf are we going?
No stam to keep up
Most of the fun is trying new routes and exploring the map with friends
enjoy the experience as long as it lasts.
both of the guys i was with have more than 2000 hours
Letting new player lead and experienced guys just wingman can help you learn, if theyre willing
I get bored solo, but it did wonders to teach. Dying really tells you, "that was dumb. don't do that again"
@fluid path playing in duos adds a whole new dynamic to the game aswell
which is communication
Your friends are on autopilot on tons of stuff you need to know
and keeping track of your teammate
My friend and I automatically ping each others locations, know the callouts, automatically cover each other on long stretches, we know what the other does
its super fun in a big firefight
but took a lot of losses to figure it out.
See if your buddies will let you lead no matter how much shit you get in 🙂
go at your pace while you learn
I doubt any duo that played very often together never killed eachother.
there will be a moment that it happens
oh for sure lol
I cba to try out 5 man squads
5 man squads are a good way to get spotted and picked apart 🙂
I play by myself all the time
5 man squads are how you die to a 2 man
2-3 man =effective communication, since NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO USE PTT
=\
Solo and duo is how I make money
sorry, anger.
more than duo and your profit goes down
i really dont like having to wait 15 mins to play a scav again
i know the feeling, but people would play scav 100% if it didnt exist i think
not getting that energy from it. also not even sure what im supposed to be doing
it's same with people saying you need a big team to go into labs, it's wrong on so many levels
make enough money on your scav to fund a PMC run
its supposed to push you into taking risks as your PMC
you should make atleast 150k on a scav run hopefully
eventually, i think most players embrace losing as just the way it goes, and get right the fk back in there
150k is enough to fund a PMC run with T4 armor+weapon
its rough until you can do that
+helm
think about it like a battle royale
you want to win, but statistically you wont always
I found my first LEDX today 😅
it's not a game where your gonna tank fully automatic fire
yeah i get that
gz
if you eat a bullet, you die
i love playing fps games like rising storm, insurgency etc
do LFG and find someone at your hours played
@pseudo mural laughs in helmet and armor
i don't wear helms and armor on cheap PMC runs
it feels like everytime i shoot someone in the chest or helmet they take no fucking damage
all the gear belongs to the scavs anyway :p
I have killed everyone I've killed today with a vepr KM a $17k scope, and PS bullets
So I just bought a gift tarkov for a friend. Went to CVS to make the payment since cash is easier but I don't have a code in my email. Do I just wait a little longer?
so youre a bit late in the wipe to use anything BUT the good shit
and I've killed a buncha peeps and scavs today
What kind of ammo are you shooting?
just the stuff you get starting
you probably missed goBerserk
i have no issues killing people mostly
That stuff will bounce off ppl for 0 dmg
5.45? use BT or BS
7.62x39? use BP
308? use M80
PS will work too but it takes 2 hits for T4
punch peoples armor, they die just fine
which almost everyone is in T4 this late
try those ammos and u will shitcan people guaranteed
considering you get T4 titan for under 50k
to clearify i have no issues at all killing people or with the gunplay
mostly just getting out
How, Getting out is the easy part
You might just not know the bullshit chokepoints on the map
If you walk into the middle of the mall on Interchange, or out on the open in woods/customs?
bad times, friend
Go from cover to cover. Use bushes, hills, to put stuff between you and people who might be scoping ya
woods is basically "how to get sniped by a dude that looks like a tree"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KbFMHp4NOE goBerserk watch this if you want to understand why you can shoot someone and they don't die
Massive thanks to NoFoodAfterMidnight for the huge amount of information and help making this video. He really is one of the biggest unsung heroes in the Tarkov community and he deserves more attention - follow him on twitch NOW! (I had to do this voiceover like a dozen times...
gotta love the spreadsheets required to learn the game sometimes
And sometimes, youll do everything mostly right, use cover, shoot guys with the right ammo, get a huge bag
and some guy is in a bush or spot lying and waiting for you
and ... thats Tarkov baby
and then die cuz a dudes hiding in a bush
yep
it's called getting tarkov'd
Rough but sounds about right for starting out
Don’t worry about it berserk
Without seeing highlight video or anything, youre probably out in the open where anyone can pop you in a shot
^
yup
its kinda agonzing
It gets easier
Get tf back out there and keep working on the quests
@lone tide What is the bf's name? :p
well I mean
Yeah, its rough
especially because i have no issue winning my gunfights
it's just a thing that happens
Maybe try playing slower
Scav in between your raids. See if you can extract there.
Helps ++money, its slightly easier to not be where people expect you as a scav
Is it worth to level 3 my meditation or just sell the ledx? I don’t think I’m gonna craft grizzlies
267 raids, 157 survived 😛
But let's talk the important stat... K/D 😛
i probably have zero hits, much less kills
8.09... Because scavs are trash and they count XD
yup
i have too many deaths where we ran to customs dorm
and got wiped by another squad
i seriously hate that playstyle
lol right into ambush 50% of the time
ya, I legit cannot stand that play style so I stopped playing with my group
I had good stats until I started to do hatchling runs for prapor the retard
3 dorms is a shitshow, ya'll been warned
before i played with my friends i had 9.6 just playing factory with pistols
since then I've survived 3x as much
now i have 3.8
breathing intensifies
Lmfao... Push to talk is a must, unless you have a really good mic that won't pickup shit
get a good mic lmao
i cant really progress or do anything. im just guaranteed to die as scav or my main, my main has to heal and id rather not cripple myself even more by using him wounded, and the scav timer is a bastard
so im just kinda sitting here waitin
I have a $120 mic, but it still picks up everything
you can't effectively communicate
Or you can buy meds and heal?
@feral estuary whats killing you?
PTT+brevity=awesomeness in squads
I just picked up the game and apparently i'm not great at it. If anyone's up to answer questions or just take me through a few raids please send me a message, i'd appreciate it.
lol
You guys can set the sensitivity of your mics you know
yes, I have an expensive mic
and i know how to set it up
it sitll picks up outside stuff you don't want it to on an open mic
Are you playing at 30 fps?
no its 60fps 144hz
That sounds solid for tarkov.
60fps/144hz? wut
im set to max 144, i also dont go over 70 lol
but i dont have my thing up
