[pseudo mural]

if your 144hz, and not variable, drop it to 75

[bold kernel]

I mean I use open, I have no issues with my mic

[fluid path]

lets not talk about scopes on reserve

[pseudo mural]

and cap it with vsync

[fluid path]

gsync smoothes it out a lot thankfully

[pseudo mural]

same

[fluid path]

Any nvidia highlights or anything for a death to show?

[stark coyote]

Lol, that just means your teammates haven't said anything yet @bold kernel

[fluid path]

Are ya out in the open? Im guessing you might not have your back to walls, in the shade, in bushes or foliage?

[misty portal]

i guess ill just run out with my main and the AK you start with

and keep doing that till i run out of med kits

[pseudo mural]

yes, you can use open mic, but it's crap for tactical games that require effective comms

[fluid path]

If youre sprinting around, dont, walk.

If you don't wear ears, start doing it so you hear others.

[misty portal]

i have been walking

[fluid path]

Use foliage and cover. Try sitting a bush, listening a few sec, moving to another bush.

[misty portal]

very slowly.

[fluid path]

Repeat until you get where you want.

[misty portal]

trust me man i am.

[fluid path]

I wouldn't crrrraaaaawwwwl tho.

Then you're a free target :p

[pseudo mural]

lay down when you have a long shot

[fluid path]

its this dichotomy. Move slow. Unless someone knows youre there or something. Then GTFO fast to where they dont expect you.

[pseudo mural]

and when you get shot at sometimes it's effective to lay down

[misty portal]

I just get capped by some lad in armor and a rifle

[fluid path]

So you got spotted.

[pseudo mural]

also, the new scope is so good lol

[fluid path]

Try to not get spotted. I know thats vague, but be somewhere not in the open, not in the middle of the road, not on the hilltop

[misty portal]

half the deaths are instant. the other half are not quite as instant but instant

[fluid path]

Be in the shadows, the edges, dont let people spot you like youre a scav

[pseudo mural]

everyone is running high end ammo

[fluid path]

^

[pseudo mural]

most shots are gonna kill you the first shot

[misty portal]

listen i aint trying to degrade your help but I do understand the basics of not getting shot at
its more of the enemies i am facing

[pseudo mural]

Lol

[fluid path]

Are you getting hits on people at least?

[misty portal]

i dont even know

cant tell

[stark coyote]

Do you use the ingame headphones luft?

[round ridge]

Then just go to the non populated areas of maps where there might be one or two players

[misty portal]

the wat

[fluid path]

GSSH, Peltors, Sordins, Com-Tacs

the headphones

[stark coyote]

GSSH headphones, from ragman, they will make you much more aware of your surroundings

[misty portal]

im fresh

[pseudo mural]

then you don't know the basics of not getting shot at.

[stark coyote]

They will make things far away louder and clearer

[lone tide]

@stark coyote - If you can't guess yet @fluid path is tha BF

[misty portal]

hell I even caught one guy trying to sneak up on me but he still blasted me with one shot

[elder fulcrum]

Im at 3 story on customs how do i get out

i have hella loot

[fluid path]

go down to floor 2 and take a left for fire escape

[pseudo mural]

^

[elder fulcrum]

i need to extract i dont know it

[pseudo mural]

run to the wall, follow it to your exfil

[fluid path]

which is it

double tap O

[pseudo mural]

press o+o

[elder fulcrum]

im in the little shop proning

[stark coyote]

@lone tide how could i guess that? 😛 @fluid path Gimme the meat you thot.

[lone tide]

He is a fucking thot

[fluid path]

Sure your rig is big enough for dis?

🙂

[elder fulcrum]

i have crossroads and passage between rocks

[lone tide]

hahahahahaha

[pseudo mural]

okay, your not far from passage

[misty portal]

can you rotate anything in the inventory

[pseudo mural]

run to the wall behind 3 dorms

[fluid path]

hit R

[pseudo mural]

take it to hole in the wall

[lone tide]

Gonna haveta up that rig game

[fluid path]

when mouseover

[pseudo mural]

follow it to the train tracks

go all the way to the end of the traintracks on the left

stick to the wall

you'll find the exfil

[elder fulcrum]

ok

[misty portal]

well, thats what i asked but, seems i cant put the ak mag in my pocket

[stark coyote]

Lmfao, guess we will have to find out 😉

[elder fulcrum]

lets see if i live this is fucking hot

[round ridge]

Dude just pull up the map in the wiki

It’s insanely helpful

[fluid path]

the pockets are 1x1

[round ridge]

And easy to navigate

[pseudo mural]

you likely won't, the area your going is really open and there's usually dudes at radio lookin'

lol

[fluid path]

so only the little 10 rounders fit

the 20+ rounders need a chest rig

[misty portal]

guess ill pmc

gonna lose this gear anyway

other mag has vanished

[pseudo mural]

just do scav runs, look at the maps

[elder fulcrum]

I didnt see hole in the wall

im at the truck by the fence

[pseudo mural]

ok

go the other way

crossroads is your other exfil?

go down the land bridge over the other side of the road

[fluid path]

@elder fulcrum

you can take either red path

[misty portal]

ive been specifically doing scav runs as to not lose stuff
the timer is a bit of a bastard

[open basin]

what other keys for dorms are worth it

[pseudo mural]

yes

take the red path

your at sniper checkpoint right now

do what lgringo is telling you

follow the red path and you'll be home free

[fluid path]

go left, hug that fence on your right

fair warning, if youre out in the open, you might get a few extra ventilation holes

but thats tarkov, baby

[pseudo mural]

also, run past customs building

or death

[misty portal]

well

that was brief

ah an ai killed me

[pseudo mural]

did you go to factory or something?

cuz that was very brief

[misty portal]

yes.

only playing factory

[pseudo mural]

don't do factory as a new player

[misty portal]

oh of course

[pseudo mural]

wait until you understand how to kill things

[misty portal]

well i killed a guy

who wasnt aware of my existence at all somehow after i clanged around
def a player

then scav 360'd and domed me

[fluid path]

youre going to get stretched out by players who can track you through 3 walls by your footsteps

do your quests on customs yet?

[misty portal]

ive just been trying to understand how to go a round without dying before i even attempt to add actual goals onto the round

so no, i havent done any quests

[elder fulcrum]

so im on the bridge running

[fluid path]

mmm.

[misty portal]

havent even looked at

[fluid path]

Most maps are not meatgrinders like Factory. you have time to look around, think, practice hunting the AI scavs

[elder fulcrum]

im close to some traintacks

[fluid path]

learn how your weapons kick

Walk over them goBerserk

keep the wall on your right

go down till you see some concrete barriers and a car

[misty portal]

is it required to have the map on the character to use it in a match

[uneven wren]

yes

[fluid path]

no the in-game map is so dumb as to be a joke

[uneven wren]

but dont bother

[fluid path]

err, yes, but the in game maps are dumb

[misty portal]

i am aware its meme

[uneven wren]

just use google

[elder fulcrum]

how far do i have to run

[steady pilot]

you use a map from the wiki @misty portal the ingame maps are useless.

[fluid path]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Map_of_Tarkov

find a map here

[misty portal]

it has helped though

[pseudo mural]

it's a big armored truck that your walking to, just keep going until you get to the big gate thingy

[fluid path]

ppl have made some great 3d maps

[uneven wren]

is there a compass ingame

[fluid path]

no 😦

[uneven wren]

welp

[fluid path]

look for a huge landmark on the map

like a building or lake

[uneven wren]

if there was most of my complaints for the game would be gone

[pseudo mural]

the maps are very easy to learn

[uneven wren]

even if it was a physical compass i had to pull out

[elder fulcrum]

k im there

[fluid path]

itd be cool if there was an immersive compass you could check on your wrist or watch

[elder fulcrum]

not extracting though

[uneven wren]

yeah

[pseudo mural]

keep going until it says "extract" or whatever

you need to be standing next ot the white gate thingy

[fluid path]

sometimes the extract is bugged ya know

doesnt show the timer

[uneven wren]

anyone know if they plan on adding a physical compass?

[fluid path]

stand here

[pseudo mural]

lol

I was grabbing the same picture

[fluid path]

🙂

[uneven wren]

what exit is that

[elder fulcrum]

i made it

[fluid path]

woot

[pseudo mural]

Xroads

[fluid path]

gj dude

[pseudo mural]

gj berserk

[elder fulcrum]

i was bleeding from my stomach and leg

[fluid path]

starting out, keeping an IFAK, splint, painkillers in your alpha can be helpful

just in case for inevitable wounds like that

[pseudo mural]

ya

although as a newbie you only get a few ifaks i tihnk

[elder fulcrum]

i didnt get any

[pseudo mural]

if oyu need some I can meet you and drop you enough to fill up your prison pocket

[elder fulcrum]

i have the ai2s

[fluid path]

the AI2s heal HP, but cant heal bleeds

[elder fulcrum]

it was a scav run

[pseudo mural]

i have so many ifaks =\

[fluid path]

IFAKs can do both

[lone tide]

IFAK expesinve AF early

[pseudo mural]

ya

[fluid path]

yeah, then try car kit

altho it takes 2 slot

[pseudo mural]

easy once you get med station lvl 2 tho

i find meds everywhere

[fluid path]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Medical

skim that

[elder fulcrum]

i got an adar, mosin and kedr from that + ammo and stuff

[fluid path]

meds do different stuff, got pro/con

the Kedr is a meme gun, but the others are solid

[pseudo mural]

throw the adar and kedr in your stash

grab the mosin

go into a raid find a spot

wait for someone to run across

dome them in the head

take their stuff, exfil

[elder fulcrum]

its a sawed off one though

[pseudo mural]

your goal right now should be killing scavs and getting VeprKM 7.62s

[fluid path]

hmm, the lack of sights mean youre gonna hate that gun

so id sell it

[pseudo mural]

ya

sell it, and buy a vepr.

[elder fulcrum]

could i get a real barrel and shit for it?

[fluid path]

Yes

[pseudo mural]

veprKM, 7.62

[fluid path]

you can check prices

[pseudo mural]

that's the only gun you need.

[fluid path]

right click > Linked search

will show you all the parts that link to it

[pseudo mural]

he's under lvl 5 i think

[fluid path]

oh

[elder fulcrum]

im level 5

[pseudo mural]

or maybe not

okay good

[elder fulcrum]

got it after that one

[pseudo mural]

don't mod your mosin

please

[elder fulcrum]

ok

[pseudo mural]

obrez should stay obrez

you just need a vepr.

[elder fulcrum]

which guy has the vepr

[fluid path]

Skier

[pseudo mural]

skier but it's a trade for 2 horsies

[fluid path]

you can flea market it

[pseudo mural]

you can get one for 16k on Flea market

[fluid path]

make sure you get the vepr 136

[pseudo mural]

grab it+a sight

[fluid path]

shooting 762 NOT 366

the 366 is a trap

[elder fulcrum]

fuck 336

i headshot a guy with a steel helmet twice and it didnt fucking kill him

[fluid path]

another super value gun for sstarting out

[elder fulcrum]

fuck 336

[fluid path]

is the Vepr Hunter in 308

M80 will fucking flatten people and scavs

get the 10 round mags

and its cheaper than 762 BP

[pseudo mural]

vepr hunter/KM136

are probably the best new palyer weapons

[fluid path]

yeah

[pseudo mural]

I'm partial to the KM136, but others like the hunter

i like having 30 rounds.

and you can tap fire that gun preeeetttty fast

[fluid path]

the KM136 can get 30 round mags, the cheap ammo is PS and good through armor level 3

[elder fulcrum]

i also got a m9

[pseudo mural]

ya

[elder fulcrum]

should I sell or keep that

[pseudo mural]

KM136 has a lot of advantages

[fluid path]

BP ammo is great but 500 rub a round is $$$$

m9a3?

decent pistol to save

[pseudo mural]

also gets you ready for the AKM

[elder fulcrum]

yeah

[pseudo mural]

since it's just a semi-auto AKM

[elder fulcrum]

ok

[pseudo mural]

I run a low recoil veprKM in woods with a 1p59 sight

and destroy guys with much better weapons

mine cost 34k total with everything

[fluid path]

^ probably means he also buys BP ammo for 500 bullet / 15,000 a mag

[pseudo mural]

I find BP on reserve

[tacit iron]

anyone wana run some raids with me to show me the roaps

[pseudo mural]

but ya, running BP on a veprKM in woods

you can take out dudes with 500-1mil kit easy

[fluid path]

the fringe benefit

is people frequently ditch your geared VEPR or Hunter for better aks and m4s

it comes back in insurance a LOT

[elder fulcrum]

i should get a vepr with a stock right

[fluid path]

yeah

you can add a cheap muzzlebrake and the GP25 buttpad to take even more recoil off

keeps it from bucking around as you shoot

try the lantac muzzlebrake and the GP25 buttpad

watch the vertical and horizontal recoil numbers before and after you put those two on

oh you probably dont have your workbench in your hideout yet

disregard until you do

you dont have modding access yet

[elder fulcrum]

ok

i have a 60 round 5.45 mag

should I sell it?

[pseudo mural]

yes

[main grail]

anyone got thoughts on people that extract camp

cause honestly.

pretty scummy imo

[misty portal]

so how do you swap a weapon thats on your back

cause that got me killed this time

swap to a weapon*

[elder fulcrum]

4

or 3

mines bound to 3

i have my sling on 1

pistol on 2

and back on 3

[twilit pike]

I just got the game today. I'm 0 in 10 for pmc raids so far. Just die so fast, fair a bit better as scav though.

[elder fulcrum]

so for the vepr i need bps

and 30 round mags

or should i buy 10s

[bold kernel]

Just got my friend an account, he crashes when loading into interchange

[round ridge]

@bold kernel #community-support

[elder fulcrum]

jesus fuck bp is 500 per bullet

[round ridge]

anyone wanna play im just doing random shit

[severe orchid]

whats up guys

so I have a gun

but my ammo says 0/18?

how do I refill it

[round ridge]

unload the clip

[sand apex]

in raid or in stash? and what kind of gun?

[severe orchid]

pistol :3

[sand apex]

are you in a raid or just in your stash?

either way, unload the mag from the gun and drop ammo onto the mag

[severe orchid]

Im in my hideout

it has zero bullets and wondering how I could refill it

[sand apex]

just told you

[severe orchid]

so I unloaded the mag

where do I get the ammo?

oh wait

[sand apex]

if you don't have any you'll have to buy some

[severe orchid]

Rip

okay thanks

[sand apex]

are you level 5 or higher?

[severe orchid]

nope lvl 2

[wooden gyro]

when selling stuff on the flea market, should I remove all attachments or sell as is.. are they worht more in pieces I bet?

[sand apex]

if you're talking about guns

[wooden gyro]

yeah

guns

etc

say I loot one

[frosty crown]

how do i unlock the shooting range

[sand apex]

all guns of a particular type are in the same category... so with lots of mods or not it's in the same list

[wooden gyro]

got a bunch of attachments, etc

so remove mods and sell mods separate?

[sand apex]

so if you charge more for attachments it's lower in people's list so unless they're looking for a kitted gun they're not going to find yours

this can work if it's kitted well

but I don't think people often look to buy kitted guns on the market unless it's a good meta gun

[grand elm]

Fairly certain removing most "normal" mods doesnt effect the price difference. At least, its not a big enough difference IMO as compared to selling the gun whole.

[lofty shuttle]

tetrix sell for alot?

[sand apex]

it trades for bitcoin at mechanic

[lofty shuttle]

what do u use bitcoin for

[sand apex]

you can sell bitcoin to therapist for over 100k (price fluctuates)

it's also used for high value barter trades

[frozen bone]

if i find a quest item that needs to be in raid, but before i get the quest, does it still count or will i have to find it again?

[placid heath]

it counts

items have a little symbol next to them

if they are found in raid

a circle with a check mark

[frozen bone]

ok thanks 🙂

[twilit pike]

how do you rotate items in your inventory to tetris better

[placid heath]

press r

while dragging

[true spoke]

I did everything with rules and setup but the looking for team channel still doesnt show up

[pseudo mural]

sometimes it bugs out

[green flare]

Rev lock you reactions

Reclick

It will assign role then

[pseudo mural]

I'm gonna start a challenge tomorrow, starting with a PM only, no scav runs, and seeing how far I can get before I run outta gear

[green flare]

Luke

@true spoke reclick your reactionsnon language and localization

[true spoke]

okay i did

aye

it worked thanks 🙂

[green flare]

👍

I think the hardest part of this game is figuring out wtf to keep vs sell

[true spoke]

thats true

I need eod to hord everythin

@green flare cheeck thuis link https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png?version=035b57e07c756e0530d63d161a259e35

[green flare]

yea ive seen that

but like this crap

all the random clips and items there

[sand apex]

most things you can sell now and rebuy later if needed... though obviously not stuff that is required to be found in raid for quests

[true spoke]

i always sell clips to mechanics if I dont have the gun for it

[sand apex]

try to avoid the "I might use it later" impulse... if you don't expect to use it soon, you should probably just sell it

if you need it again you can buy it again

there are obviously things worth keeping a backlog of like meds and ammo etc

you know you'll use those

[fringe magnet]

How do you refuel fuel containers now?

[sand apex]

you can't

I think they intend to add a mechanic for it but there isn't one yet

[fringe magnet]

ugh

another money sink

[sand apex]

do you have a bitcoin farm running?

[fringe magnet]

yeh

[sand apex]

well at least you are still profiting overall

[fringe magnet]

vendors don't sell fuel tanks either, right?

[sand apex]

jaeger does

[fringe magnet]

what LL?

[sand apex]

2 or 3, I forget

[fringe magnet]

50k/day

[sand apex]

53k for one of the 100 unit ones

[fringe magnet]

that's doable

[bold kernel]

not for me 😦

[fringe magnet]

that's 1 raid full of bolts

[sand apex]

well if you're not running a bitcoin farm you don't need to leave your generator on at all times

[bold kernel]

when can you start doing that?

[fringe magnet]

start doing what?

[sand apex]

its one of the things you can build in your hideout, you can look along the bottom of the screen for it in hideout it tells you the requirements

but you also need to fill it with graphics cards which are pretty expensive

[frozen bone]

scav is good for making money right? worth it to go to a map where it'll be easier to extract, then just go thru scavs looking for spawning with good items, or nah?

[sand apex]

scav runs are good for low-investment money runs, sure

[fringe magnet]

@frozen bone sure, a lot of people paly it that way.

[frozen bone]

like a few runs ago, i spawned with 2 keys, then died crossing a road 😦

[sand apex]

reserve or interchange are good for that

[fringe magnet]

I personally always prefer playing PMC low gear runs, as 2-3 items in your container often mean you end up with no loss and you additionally gain exp

but that's just my opinion

[frozen bone]

oh and also, how do i tell scav ai from scav players? i'm not confident against scavs so i dont wanna shoot ai, but then i sometimes die to players cuz i cant really tell

[fringe magnet]

from afar based on their movement

from the corpse by looking whether they have a container slot or not

[sand apex]

if they have a gun on their back it's a player

ai scavs never have a second gun

[fringe magnet]

also a good indicator

[frozen bone]

ooooh thats a nice tip thanks

[sand apex]

but yeah you also get used to how ai moves, and how they don't

[frozen bone]

lag what do you mean by container slot on a corpse?

[fringe magnet]

and where they are in general on a map

[frozen bone]

like visibly, or when you loot?

[sand apex]

if you search a player scav's body, it will have an empty pouch slot, ai scavs do not

[fringe magnet]

when you loot and below their backpack there's a greyed out container slot it means they are a player scav

[frozen bone]

cool cool, thanks for all the help guys

[fringe magnet]

ai scavs don't have anything below their backpack slot

[boreal oar]

hey, been playing for a little while now but have always gone bankrupt as i can never survive raids, can someone help me build up my inventory?

[fringe magnet]

oof red key card up to 20 mil

[sand apex]

yeesh

pretty sure I'd just sell one if I found it, I have a hard time believing I'd get my money's worth on it on labs

[fringe magnet]

and kiba key also went up a lot, did they change kiba key?

i mean kiba store

[sand apex]

I don't think so

[fringe magnet]

went up from 1.2mil to 1.9

[sand apex]

maybe it's because more players are running interchange right now for killa quest

so there's more demand

but I don't know

[lofty shuttle]

what is the point of dogtags

[frozen bone]

can scavs run?

[brave coral]

Dog tags are trophies for kills, they also have some value. You can sell them, trade them. You can get some good stuff for turning in dog tags if you've got a bunch.

[sand apex]

dogtags are worth 450 roubles per player level when sold to therapist

so a high level player dogtag is actually pretty valuable

[fringe magnet]

You need a few for levels

err quests

and some can be used for barter trades

[bold kernel]

how do we fill fuel tanks now?

[sand apex]

can't

sell empties and buy new full ones

or save empties for whenever they implement a refuel mechanic, if they do, but that is toing to take up a lot of space

[lofty shuttle]

how do myself and a friend play the raids together

idk how to invite him

[normal verge]

Select Map and Time, press next a few times until you get to the screen after insurance, find their name on the list and invite to group. Helps find them faster if you add as friend also

Make sure on same server and same map and time

[lofty shuttle]

thank you!

[rocky crater]

So I'm new

Should I be shooting things as a scav??

And are there other players when playing as a scav?

I just really dont understand what the point of it is

[warm musk]

As a scav, you're allied with all other scavs.

Except player scavs, they can cap you, but all the other cavs will try to jump them if they do.

[rocky crater]

Sometimes I'll walk around and leave other times I'll just get shot by what I thought was another scav

[warm musk]

Some players walk around like AI to fool other players into treating them as such, and cap them as soon as they walk past, lol. Happened to me.

[rocky crater]

weird

So when I'm a scav am I in the same servers I would be in as a PMC?

[warm musk]

Scavs spawn later into the match I belive.

PMCs usually spawn into a new instance.

[fluid path]

if you die as a PMC, you wont usually be able to rejoin that raid as a scav. but you join the same group of servers, yes

[rocky crater]

Ok

[warm musk]

Quite often PMCs are still killing and looting each other when you pop in as a scav.

[rocky crater]

So what should I be doing as a Scav?

Just killing other scavs?

[fluid path]

if they spot you, probably. theyll do it to you

[warm musk]

If you try to kill other scavs, they'll jimp you.

[fluid path]

go for loot areas, go for weapon crates, search high traffic areas for bodies

[warm musk]

Normally they won't kill you unless they're other player scavs, but whoever turns on the group, the group turns on them.

[fluid path]

if you spawn with good gun/armor, go for gunfire and 3rd party PMCs

[rocky crater]

Is there a solid way to distinguish Scavs from PMCs?

[warm musk]

Yeah you can either skirt the edges, watch fights and wait for the fire to die down to sneak in and try to loot corpses, or look at maps and go for good loot spawns yourself.

Erm... scavs generally wear a mish-mash of stuff, and talk in 'gantsta russian' accents.

Plus if they're walking around aimlessly like AI... they're probably AI.

AI don't loot, don't go prone... i believe.

[rocky crater]

Ok so PMCs cant scream in Russian?

[warm musk]

BEARs do, but they do it in militaristic tones.

[rocky crater]

Idk what to do really. I just seem to be in a loop of dying as my character and then getting stacked as a scav but dying because I cant find an exit.

[warm musk]

Here's what scavs sound like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-jJ6qrh15k

[rocky crater]

Well thanks

[warm musk]

If you have another screen, a tv, a laptop or a phone handy, keep a map open on it, one with all the extracts located, like this one:
https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/4/4f/Customs-2d-by-ROFLWOFFL.png

[rocky crater]

ok

[warm musk]

Double tap O to reveal the available extracts, and find them on the map before you really get into it. Then you know where your final destination is.

[rocky crater]

ok

Which map should I be playing? Are any aimed more at beginners?

[warm musk]

Well quests will start becoming available on Customs straight off. But if you look on youtube people will tell you to go everywhere from Interchange to Reserve for quick loot.

[cloud fern]

Yo! I just barely started this game. Wanna meet up?

[rocky crater]

Sure I guess

I'm not very good lol

[cloud fern]

same. Just barely got the game

[rocky crater]

ok

How do I add people on EFT?

[cloud fern]

good question

whats ur username on eft?

[rocky crater]

Mgmabone

What's yours?

[cloud fern]

Doctorrojo15

[rocky crater]

ok

[elder plover]

I need some help with starting to play, learning maps and raiding with some guys

anyone want to help me with raids and modding weapons?

[trail lintel]

modding weps are kind of a difficult thing to just and up and do early on in the game

[sweet plinth]

can someone help me

[trail lintel]

like

duo?

[sweet plinth]

I just got out of factory as a scav with a labs key card and it said my character was still ingame when i extracted after moving all the loot into my invo
will it reverse or did i just lose all of that
what is this sheit

[trail lintel]

connection error prob

if you lost it then ripperino cappucino

[sweet plinth]

thats never happened before

best shit i ever spawned with and i lost it to some stupid fucking error lmfao

[sharp garden]

Can led x spawn in the blue key card room?

[fickle kettle]

@sweet plinth ah dw scav can now spawn with alots of shet

[scarlet breach]

offline mode not working ?

like stuck at "local game is starting"

[open basin]

nope

[scarlet breach]

myea it just filled an error report

[brisk mortar]

Offline is broken at the moment.

[open basin]

Nikita felt like it wasnt fair that customs and reserve were the only ones that had a broken offline mode and decided to break the entire thing

[scarlet breach]

rip

gonna test map routes live like a true scav

[warm musk]

Perfectly balanced

[open basin]

Gotta man up and learn it online now

[scarlet breach]

the tutorials ware too stonk and offline was to ez

[warm musk]

Tutorials?

[compact basin]

Yeah. Until you reach PMC level 25ish, its all a tutorial

[vocal condor]

I see all the LFG chats, what is the process for finding players in your region?

[heavy hazel]

Are there LFG chats?

[vocal condor]

voice channels sorry

[tender kernel]

How can I turn of that filmgrain

In game

[heavy hazel]

They should really build LFG groups and separate channels like they did on a lot of Destiny, Apex, and PUBG Discourds

[open basin]

#news-setup #521628660298678283

then #pvp-lfg

[heavy hazel]

I'm honestly not seeing the #looking-for-group

I believe I did do the setup and rules correctly? I hit the check mark and language boxes

[amber saffron]

you need a role

from #news-setup

[open basin]

bot is broken

may have to wait a bit

[amber saffron]

ah

[heavy hazel]

Ok got it

[amber saffron]

nice

[heavy hazel]

I didn't see the role

SORRY TO BE A BOTHER 😄

[tribal cove]

If I put on an adar a m4 upper and lower will it go full auto?

[heavy hazel]

The lower should be enough

make sure you check the m4 lower you put

but the lower should determine automatic

not upper

[tribal cove]

Ok

[mighty jasper]

Anybody knows what a "Christmas tree decoration" is and why it costs ~150k

[karmic garden]

If you put an m4 upper and lower on an adar, it's an m4, not an adar

[plucky goblet]

if you put a m4 lower on the adar its a m4 cuz the lower is the gun

[amber saffron]

what's a good cheap beginners loadout?

for going into a raid as a PMC

[bold kernel]

Is this worth repairing?

[amber widget]

yikes i have no idea what im doing in this game

[bold kernel]

or what should I do with it?

[amber saffron]

@amber widget welcome to tarkov

[amber widget]

games kinda freaky ngl

[fickle kettle]

it is

even scarier than a horror game

[amber widget]

especially when i have never seen a video or anything of the game and jump right in

[amber saffron]

did you go online or offline

[amber widget]

online

i see offline is down

[amber saffron]

what all did you take with you?

because if you die, you lose it all

which is probably gonna happen if you just started, as you dont know the extracts or the map

[amber widget]

yep lost all

well

lost my gun

had an AK 74u

n some rifle ammo

[amber saffron]

rip

[karmic garden]

@amber saffron vepr hunter and that l4 armoured rig

[amber saffron]

alright, what mods would you recommend I use on a vepr?

[karmic garden]

There's not many mods for it. Just take the 10 round mags and a sight you like using

And m80 ammo

It's cheap and you can kill geared people with it

And the sound of a hunter going off makes people nervous

[amber saffron]

thanks

[cold parrot]

ye this

hunter is rly good

[karmic garden]

A low gear dude with not much to lose and a high power gun is very threatening to heavily geared players

It should also give you the confidence to play aggressive as a new player, as the risk /reward is very good in your favour

[cold parrot]

ye hunter is literally dirt cheap

[amber saffron]

that's nice, something what I was looking for

thanks a lot

[karmic garden]

They're what like 30k on the flea

And m80 is cheap too, but it can one tap chest

Literally if you pen their vest, they're dead

[green pelican]

anyone willing to show me the ropes ?

[karmic garden]

Ordinarily I would, but I'm dying with flu atm

[bold kernel]

are slug shots good because i hit a guy six times from around 3 meters and he had kirasa and survived

[tender kernel]

Just killed a guy in last raid with that basic scav shotgun

Don't know the name

[karmic garden]

@bold kernel not really tbh. They're good against unarmoured targets, but even the ap slugs aren't great against good armour

Which slugs were you using?

[bold kernel]

it was a scav run but i think it was grizzly

[karmic garden]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

As you can see here, grizzly can't really pen class 3 at all

[tender kernel]

I downloaded this game before going to sleep. So I played 2 games before this. This was my 3rd raid in my life. So I don't really know. 😄

[karmic garden]

@tender kernel was it a player or a scav?

[tender kernel]

But I think it had a blue shell if it helps

deffinitely a player

He had american style of gun. And an AK

[karmic garden]

It all depends on where you hit them

[tender kernel]

And he had a gun on his back

[karmic garden]

If you shoot them in an unarmoured area, you'll hurt them regardless

[coarse plaza]

If a player scav shoots a player scav does that mean other scavs target him

[karmic garden]

@tender kernel yeah that's a pmc or player scav

@coarse plaza yeah ones in the area will aggro

[coarse plaza]

Literally could of killed this guy but he looked and ended up a scav

Fair enough

Its pretty annoying

[karmic garden]

It's annoying because a pscav can engage you but miss and you kill him and then get dumped on by the ai

[coarse plaza]

so if they are classed as a "rogue" scav you can kill them without other scavs coming for you right?

[amber saffron]

so im trying to find a way to mod my vepr hunter in https://eftdb.one/, but i dont seem to see the hunter

[karmic garden]

@coarse plaza yeah if the ai is aggro on them, you should be good

@amber saffron literally the only mod you can do is sights

[coarse plaza]

Annoying to know i could have took that first shot

[open basin]

lul

[amber saffron]

ah

I see

lul ty

[open basin]

yeah you can only put a sight on it lmfao

theres a new low profile mount from jaeger i think

[amber saffron]

so I get a mount and put a sight on it?

[jolly pond]

I need help I get killed everytime I'm trying to complete the introduction mission.

[amber saffron]

what ammo would you recommend for it?

[open basin]

ah it's from mechanic

m80

[karmic garden]

Yeah or if its a dovetail sight it can go straight on

@amber saffron m80

[amber saffron]

thanks

[open basin]

cheapest and best

[karmic garden]

@open basin agree

[tender kernel]

I need some cheap loadout. Preferably with SKS anyone knows one?

[karmic garden]

M80 is the beast of ammo

[open basin]

SKS?

[karmic garden]

Ugh sks

[open basin]

BAM

BAM

[karmic garden]

Fuck the SKS

[open basin]

brought to you by the veprkm gang

[tender kernel]

D:

So where can I get that Vepr?

[karmic garden]

Flea

[plucky goblet]

flea or skier

[karmic garden]

Why not put the butt pad on that vepr km

[tender kernel]

Should I give it a try?

[karmic garden]

Yeah

Don't use sks

It's a terrible time for all the family

[tender kernel]

ok 😄

[open basin]

vepr km is nice

beast budget gun

[tender kernel]

And what armor and ammo should I run?

with it

[open basin]

whats ur lvl

[amber saffron]

what magazine would you recommend?

[open basin]

for hunter?

the 10 round one

[karmic garden]

Ps if you want to cheap or BP if you want to kill people for vepr km

[amber saffron]

aight ty

[open basin]

im gonna assume ur broke and low level

so ps and paca

[tender kernel]

@open basin I don't even know where is the level bar so... Try tu guess

[karmic garden]

Paca is a waste of money

[open basin]

nah

[karmic garden]

Yeah

It protects you against a wet fart (barely)

[open basin]

doesnt matter what they run

everyone is gonna pierce through it

well pmcs

so just run the cheapest one that'll protect you from getting 1 tapped by a scav

[karmic garden]

So no armour is the same as paca but cheaper

[open basin]

you get 1 tapped by scav

[karmic garden]

Scavs will still Juan you even with paca

[open basin]

even class 4 armor will get pooped on

but you wont get 1 tapped

nah you wont

[tender kernel]

Can someone sum it up?

[karmic garden]

Yeah you will

[tender kernel]

The starter kit.

[open basin]

paca, ssh-68 helmet, and gssh

just throw out any of them if you see upgrades

[karmic garden]

Starter kit: airframe with chops, gen 4 assault, meta hk, beta backpack

[fickle kettle]

VPO-215

[open basin]

if you kill em

any other armor besides paca will cost way too much for the average beginner

[karmic garden]

Disagree

[open basin]

bruh most beginners will die in like 2 minutes

[karmic garden]

How much is that l4 armoured rig, like 50k fresh?

Paca is 25

[open basin]

paca is 18k

[karmic garden]

So you can waste 18k or not wear paca and get the same results

[amber saffron]

going into a raid with this, any suggestions?

[open basin]

you get 1 tapped by anything without paca

[karmic garden]

@amber saffron yeah shoot some guys

[open basin]

paca will save you from the scavs

[amber saffron]

lmao I will

[karmic garden]

@open basin except if they have any weapon other ran a pistol

[formal yew]

from my experience, at least bring a paka chestplate and a SSh-68 helmet or whatever its called

they'll give you enough time to shoot back with scavs

[karmic garden]

Any rifle will pen it immediately, most shotgun stuff will wreck it or they will just hit your face

@amber saffron take more ammo btw

Put a 40 stack in your alpha

[amber saffron]

aight gotcah

[karmic garden]

Also take something to stop bleeding

[amber saffron]

oh ye

I can take bandages

[tender kernel]

wait what is gssh

granade?

[open basin]

headsets

[karmic garden]

What map are you going to play @Calinyth#0001

[open basin]

paca also means they spend money on ragman

instead of flea

[karmic garden]

You'll never convince me @open basin 😂

[open basin]

i dont need to

[karmic garden]

Only need to convince noobs to waste their money for a false sense of security (this is a joke please do not take offence)

[dull cave]

offense

[weary badge]

Wanted to ask this for a while; if you kill a PMC, why does it show ???? instead of thorax, head, etc.?

[dull cave]

oh shit

offense and offence are the same

thats whack

@weary badge means you didnt nab their dogtag

[weary badge]

Ah I see

[dull cave]

im assuming you're talking after raid report?

[weary badge]

Ye

[dull cave]

yup. means you didn't nab their tag

[weary badge]

Got it, makes sense

[amber saffron]

forgot to post

[karmic garden]

You gotta loot a motherfucker

[amber saffron]

is this fine?

[dull cave]

calinyth thats excellent

[karmic garden]

@amber saffron yes, you'll need to get to get the drop on people

[dull cave]

aim for thorax

[karmic garden]

But you are very deadly

[amber saffron]

thanks

I'll do my best!

[dull cave]

you will 1tap everyone in level 4 or below

good luck friend

[amber saffron]

thank you!

[karmic garden]

M80 will pen l5 first shot sometimes too

[dull cave]

not enough to count on

[karmic garden]

@amber saffron what map are you playing

[dull cave]

37% chance

[amber saffron]

Interchange

[karmic garden]

@dull cave definitely possible though

[dull cave]

yep

[karmic garden]

@amber saffron try to third party people

[amber saffron]

gotcha

thank you all for helping me!

[dull cave]

good luck man

[karmic garden]

Let us know how it goes

[amber saffron]

I will!

[tender kernel]

I need a fricking horse for Vepr lol 😄

[dull cave]

?

[karmic garden]

The ole horse fur vepr trade

[dull cave]

@tender kernel wait until you hit level 5

[karmic garden]

Oh you're level 1? Rip bro

[dull cave]

then buy them off the flea

[tender kernel]

Only lvl 5 can go there @dull cave

[dull cave]

read?

[junior rose]

Oi lads, I boyght the game eysteraday and have absolutely 0 idea on how the game works. Got into a Raid as a scav, looted for ~13 minutes and then died cuz the timer ran out. I know I had to extract, but I had no idea which extraction points were active. Are all of them open to extraction or are they on a time-based rotation? And if so, how do I know which ones are good for extraction

[dull cave]

Oi mate

@junior rose first visit #news-setup and #521628660298678283 so you can see the rest of the discord

[karmic garden]

Watch some YouTube videos boss

[teal gate]

I'm pretty new. can anyone help? Just got the game last night . I've played 3 raids and died almost immediately each time. I only have a pistol and a couple clips left, and some meds. lol

[dull cave]

you too kcw

#news-setup and #521628660298678283

then #pvp-lfg

[tender kernel]

Need somehow to level up.

[dull cave]

do quests

and play the game

[karmic garden]

You can reach level 5 pretty fast

[tender kernel]

And if I play with scavenger. Do I level up?

[dull cave]

no

scavs and PMCs have separate levels

[tender kernel]

Oh

[junior rose]

Oh, I just went to the #news-setup thingy and "reacted" with the checkmark right away cuz I'm pretty stupid. Now I think I can't "react" to the JPEGs above to set up my stuff. Am I fucked guys?

[amber saffron]

I survived!

Sold all the junk I got and made 300k!

Thank you all a lot of helping me! I really appreciate it ❤️

[bold kernel]

where do i get the killer quest?

[plucky goblet]

ragman

[dull cave]

@amber saffron nice!

[amber saffron]

Thanks a lot of the help! I'll stick with this loadout for a while :)

[open basin]

are you not broke now

[urban panther]

As playing as a scav are other player scavs meant to shoot you. Cause i went into 2 story dorms on customs and there where 2 scavs in there. I pressed f1 to try to talk to them and i got a russian response followed by gunfire. I did not shoot them until they started shooting me. There movement looked like player movement and when i died it was a scav name. Was it maybe the scav boss?

[dull cave]

sounds like scav boss

player scavs will kill you, by the way

[urban panther]

Ok

So how do you differentiate

[dull cave]

eyes

[open basin]

npc scavs move like robots

and they speak when they see you

[urban panther]

But these players talked back to me

[open basin]

watch how a regular scav moves next time

players or player scavs dont move like that

[urban panther]

Ok

So does the boss instantly agro on you

[dull cave]

yup

[urban panther]

Ok remeber that for next time

[night pewter]

hey how can i change zoom in and out?

pls help

[dull cave]

on a scope?

[night pewter]

yeah

[dull cave]

alt and ctrl right click

they change optic magnification, color, reticle etc

[night pewter]

no no

its 1x4

[dull cave]

?

[night pewter]

i wanna zoooooooom

[dull cave]

magnification

[night pewter]

what the hell is taht

[dull cave]

what the fuck?

[night pewter]

😂

[dull cave]

magnification

magnify

means zoom

[night pewter]

ok thx

[dull cave]

yup xd

[tender kernel]

What ammo does sks use?

[dull cave]

762x39

BP>PS

ps is available from prapor 1

btw, guns say what caliber they are

on the gun

like, from the inventory screen

[tender kernel]

I don't know shit about guns. So I don't even know them in gam

e

[dull cave]

yeah but

in the inventory screen

it says what caliber the gun is

in the corner

[tender kernel]

And which ammo should I use?

[tender kernel]

Oh I didn't know it was a ammuniton type

thx

[dull cave]

yup 🙂

check this out

[grand crow]

I received an email about the New Year Gifts

Are these the same ones as the Christmas ones?

[dull cave]

https://escapefromtarkov.com/profile

yes

in russia new years==christmas

[nova hinge]

how to register on this channel?

[grand crow]

Ah right I thought they had extra

Thanks!

[dull cave]

@nova hinge #521628660298678283 #news-setup

yup milk 🙂

[grand crow]

Funnily enough I drunk last night and went to bed

I dreamt about playing Tetris in my stash endlessly

It was wild

[dull cave]

lmaooo

[grand crow]

Like no matter what it was messy as fuck

[tender kernel]

score @grand crow ?

[dull cave]

thats fucking hilarious

score?

[tender kernel]

What score did he get in the game.

[dull cave]

ooh

[grand crow]

I recall just pages and pages of 1x1 crap that I manually dragged and dropped into stuff

[dull cave]

"playing tetris" is organizing a stash

its a joke in the tarkov community

that trying to fit stuff in your inventory is like playing tetris

[grand crow]

Yeah

Getting EOD has really alleviated that issue for me

So many times I finish a scav run and I have no space

[dull cave]

oh you wait xd

[tender kernel]

Oh. I didn't get the reference 😄

[dull cave]

its okay x

[grand crow]

I can’t imagine filling up my EOD stash but oh well Guess it’ll happen eventually

[tender kernel]

Ok I'm going for my first pmc raid. I don't know shit. Even how much ammo do I need to take

[karmic garden]

@amber saffron nice work! Did you murder anybody?

[grand crow]

I would suggest putting spare ammo in your secure container r

[karmic garden]

Take more ammo than you think you need

[amber saffron]

I killed 4 scavs and one PMC

[karmic garden]

What map are you playing @tender kernel

[tender kernel]

Customs

[karmic garden]

@amber saffron good shit, that vepr hunter is nasty

[amber saffron]

Yeah it’s legit amazing

[karmic garden]

@tender kernel what's your goal for the raid?

[amber saffron]

Thank you so much!

[karmic garden]

Np man

[tender kernel]

To survive and find extraction points.

[dull cave]

!wiki customs

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Customs

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Customs

Customs is a location in Escape from Tarkov. It is the second location that was added to the game.

[tender kernel]

And get some loot

[dull cave]

that will help with extracts

[grand crow]

Should I be bringing a pistol if I bring a hunter?

[karmic garden]

@tender kernel have you watched any videos on customs?

[dull cave]

survivings all you tho

[karmic garden]

@grand crow nah

Well you can if you want

[dull cave]

shouldnt tho

[karmic garden]

It's pretty pointless

[grand crow]

@tender kernel if you have a second monitor it’ll be good to have the map open there

[tender kernel]

@karmic garden Few of them

[grand crow]

Yeah thought so about the pistol

[karmic garden]

@tender kernel the thing with custies is there's a lot of spawns and a lot of trek are close together

[dull cave]

most of customs is timings

[karmic garden]

So people will often push your spawn or wait for you to push out

[dull cave]

either go very fast or very slow for the first couple minutes

[karmic garden]

@dull cave agree, I think that can be applied to tarkov in general really

[dull cave]

until you learn the timings, its best to just play erratically for 90 seconds

[tender kernel]

I like to go faster. And suprise people looting

[dull cave]

lol

I go fast too

until I have to go slow

then i go slow

[tender kernel]

same I guess

[dull cave]

xd

[tender kernel]

I need to get a 2nd monitor for real now. When I play this game

[dull cave]

or a cellphone

[tender kernel]

My phone is destroyed piece of shit

[karmic garden]

Yeah @dull cave makes a good point; your noobness makes you unpredictable

@tender kernel just use your macbook Pro

[tender kernel]

@karmic garden Sure i'll do

[grand crow]

If you don’t know what you’re doing the enemy won’t know what you’re doing

That’s how I play

[karmic garden]

@grand crow exactly

Haha

[dull cave]

lmao

[tender kernel]

How much do they cost even? like 2000$

[karmic garden]

Yeah

Or more

[dull cave]

i feel the retard

i use the retard

i kill with the retard

[karmic garden]

I bought one in 2012 and it was like £2000+

@tender kernel what gun are you taking?

[dull cave]

@tender kernel couple hundred

[tender kernel]

SKS.

I found it on ground

[karmic garden]

Fair enough

[tender kernel]

So how much ammo should I take?

[dull cave]

full mag

[karmic garden]

Take a full stack of ps

[dull cave]

spare 30-60 rounds

[grand crow]

Maybe one max stack in your secure too

[karmic garden]

You probably won't be able to use more than that

[dull cave]

^

[karmic garden]

Expect to die btw and it'll be a less stressful experience

[tender kernel]

How much is a stack? 64x

[karmic garden]

If you survive then great, if not then no biggie

[dull cave]

depends on the ammo

762x39 is 60

762x51 is 40

556 and 545 are 60

9x19 is 50

[karmic garden]

I'd probably avoid dorms for your first raid but if you want to go there it's fine

[tender kernel]

Yeah I have 762x39 I think

[dull cave]

4.6x30 is 70

[timber dock]

Are only certain doors "breachable" (even though they have the "breach" interaction option)?

[dull cave]

ye

some are locked

cant breach locked doors

[karmic garden]

@timber dock yeah. Most of the breach ones are locked

[dull cave]

@timber dock check out #news-setup and #521628660298678283

[karmic garden]

But the are a few actual breach doors

[dull cave]

so you can see the rest of the discord

[karmic garden]

There's a few on factory f. Ex

[timber dock]

@dull cave I did, but apparently broke it.

[dull cave]

ah, bots sometimes fuckin stupid

[tender kernel]

My setup for 2nd official raid with pmc

[dull cave]

STOP

wait shit

[tender kernel]

I stopped

[dull cave]

did they change bullet textures today

just make sure that PS is 762x39

[tender kernel]

The guy didnt have any bs ammo

[dull cave]

BP

[karmic garden]

BS is 5.45

[dull cave]

they changed bullet textures today

762x39 used to be bright green

[karmic garden]

That looks like 5.45 though

[dull cave]

thats why I said stop

its not

[vagrant mirage]

military base cp is my exit

[dull cave]

this patch changed their texture

[vagrant mirage]

Isnt this the right spot?
