[delicate breach]

Hello guys can i get a big help? i buy the game today and i having big issues...

im starting to tilt

[waxen forge]

What's the problem"?

Also #521628660298678283

[frozen wasp]

he did that

we kinda suck with discord and rules gives him red circle wont let him click

[waxen forge]

Need a mod to fix it

[frozen wasp]

he said messaging contact staff so hope it works thanks a ton

[delicate breach]

so this is not the right chat for problems?

[sonic lake]

this is it

what do you need man

[frozen wasp]

sorry

[waxen forge]

You never even asked a question @delicate breach

[delicate breach]

yeah sorry im trying to put a pic but looks like i can't

xD

[sonic lake]

you need to do #521628660298678283 and #news-setup

[delicate breach]

oki let me check a sec

[sonic lake]

the only time ive ever loot goblin'd is when i ran out of ammo and i snatched a dead guys gun real quick lol

[delicate breach]

i think i have done everything

[sonic lake]

bot is being slow

but explain your situation

[delicate breach]

well i buy the game today and i start the download but every 10/20 mins i get this error ''user action required'' and then ''Unable to load the file ''client.0.12.2.5482.zip'' flux does not support writing

and this happen every 10/20 mins

then i click retry and the game continued the download from where he stop

but i very frustating click retrye very time for download 100mb every 10 mins

[waxen forge]

First thing I would do is delete everything Escape from Tarkov on the PC. Check files. Delete them all.

[delicate breach]

is*

already did 2 times..

[waxen forge]

Once it's all gone retry download.

[delicate breach]

okok wait

should i unninstall the launcher?

[waxen forge]

That's a guess though...maybe bad download. Yea I'd delete everything.

Launcher files in windows. all of it.;

[marble blade]

@delicate breach im giving you full client if you cannot download it https://mab.to/7NSK4lShY

[sonic lake]

try #community-support

[delicate breach]

uhm

i will try with @marble blade and if this doesn't work i will try the support chat

[marble blade]

yes

[modest dust]

my modded m4 seems to have a lot of recoil, does the m4 typically have a lot of recoil, its borderline uncontrollable even with mods

[fluid path]

how much recoil we talking

vertical

usually when you get it under 60 its fine

i think lowest possible is around 44

and are you talking ADS or point shooting

[fringe magnet]

after a day of trying to get jaeger quests done in factory

and coming more or less even with the occasional won fight

I finally managed to score a win

https://imgur.com/a/dTkm6o9

my first attack 2

went in naked with an adar

took a quick exit after 3 kills in 3 minutes xD

[grave helm]

nice

get a dogtag case and maybe a doc

[knotty finch]

any1 get anything from twitch drops yet?

[idle bluff]

Yep.

[knotty finch]

v nice

[grave helm]

its already running?

[fringe magnet]

@grave helm got both, but no use in bringing them into factory

[grave helm]

thought it starts tomor

[fringe magnet]

Not with my 2x2 container

[idle bluff]

It starts on the 30th Moscow time.

It started 38 minutes ago.

[waxen forge]

I hope I get some matches

[sonic lake]

lul Gsshs

[hidden wasp]

is anyone looking for a group in customs? ive played 3 games so far and made like 10 kills but im really bad at extracting 😄

[stone surge]

@idle bluff Your ears will love that item

[idle bluff]

Man they got sold a looong time ago

[stone surge]

Why so? Unhappy with your present that you sent it back?

spoiled

!

[fringe magnet]

@idle bluff do you have to accept the gifts?

[proper ginkgo]

I'd like to start going in with budget kits. Maybe like one gun, armor, bag? Can someone help me?

[fluid path]

I got a marked key drop.

[fringe magnet]

Theoretically, could I have my PC at work play 10 streams simultaneously on mute?

@proper ginkgo do you prefer semi-auto or auto?

[fluid path]

You dont have to accept it, it pops up like an insurance return or quest reward

in game

[waxen forge]

Muted doesn't count a view

[fringe magnet]

@waxen forge thanks for the info

[proper ginkgo]

@fringe magnet I haven't had enough experience to know, I love full auto for sure though. Maybe whatever is cheaper?

[fluid path]

i got my marked key drop from watching a muted twitch stream that was minimized

[knotty finch]

yes muted counts

[waxen forge]

1 gun is standard practice

[fringe magnet]

@proper ginkgo I love the adar personally.

[fluid path]

i wouldnt turn down full auto, but semi auto guns frequently come back in insurance

m4s dont

[waxen forge]

Muted site or muted stream using the volume slider?

[fluid path]

muted stream using volume slider

it didnt disqualify me

[waxen forge]

No shit. Always was told viewers who were muted didn't count.

[proper ginkgo]

@fringe magnet Stock build? Any sight?

[stone surge]

@waxen forge Ofcourse people will tell you that, so you actually watch the stream xd

instead of afking

[knotty finch]

nah only part doesnt count is if u pause it

[fringe magnet]

@proper ginkgo the stock build is fairly potent, just makes sure you get 856a1 ammo minimum

[stone surge]

No

[fluid path]

been using this adar @proper ginkgo

[stone surge]

just get m855a1

not m856a1

[proper ginkgo]

holy fuck that look sick

[fluid path]

its the moe SL handguard

[proper ginkgo]

is that expensive

[frozen bone]

when you trade oat flakes to therapist for kiba, do the oats need to be 40/40?

[fringe magnet]

@fluid path that's hardly a budget build tho?

[fluid path]

its ... 80k

wwith suppressor

[proper ginkgo]

im trying to go a bit more budget than 80k lol

[fluid path]

moe SL handguard and mlok AFG is cheap

[fringe magnet]

that's not what beginners will understand as budget

[proper ginkgo]

^

[fluid path]

ok drop suppressor and use whatever stock

saves 50k right there

[proper ginkgo]

okok

where can I buy this I cant find it anywhere

[waxen forge]

Search it on Flea

Fence has 1 right now

[proper ginkgo]

it didnt come up

[waxen forge]

Just type ADAR

[rich cloak]

its the deafult muzzle on the adar barrel

[waxen forge]

I just searched it

But Drago is right. It's just the stock flashhider

[proper ginkgo]

Flea market and trader inventories arent the same?

[waxen forge]

Flea market shows trader items

[proper ginkgo]

i got it, ty! I searched all their inventories and couldnt find it. Only a similar one in skiers inventory for the ar15

[hidden wasp]

where can i find a group as a beginner?

[sonic lake]

you dont really need it

[proper ginkgo]

I got it now, jusst couldnt find it

[sonic lake]

how much is your budget james?

auto or semi?

[waxen forge]

It is just the stock flashhider though

[proper ginkgo]

yeah but mine didnt even have it

What sight can I put on the adar

[waxen forge]

Pretty much any

[sonic lake]

put the cobra on it if you have the front sight

[waxen forge]

BIG tip. Upgrade workbench in Hideout

Then examine everything on flea

[proper ginkgo]

Where can I look that up? like what sights I can put on a gun for example

[waxen forge]

Then right click on a weapon and EDIT PRESET

[sonic lake]

after upgrading workbench to level 1

[lofty shuttle]

kiba store worth it?

[waxen forge]

Not really

[sonic lake]

kiba is really only worth if youre rolling in dough already

[proper ginkgo]

it sasys i can only put iron sights on my adar

[sonic lake]

look up cobra ekp on flea

[waxen forge]

The adar has a build in rail

[sonic lake]

pick the one thats not dovetail

[waxen forge]

PK-06 is cheapish

[sonic lake]

PK06 doesnt clear gas block

and its 16k lul

cobra clears gas block

and 10k

[waxen forge]

I said "cheapish"

😉

[sonic lake]

ive never bought a PK06 lul

all the sights are so expensive 😦

most of my sights are found in raid

[proper ginkgo]

wdu mean clears gas block

[waxen forge]

That's a BSG issue

On the ADAR/M4 there is a big triangle front sight that houses the gas block

It impedes on many optics

[proper ginkgo]

cobra is above it?

[sonic lake]

gets in the way of pk-06

[lapis mauve]

um

just get the riser

[sonic lake]

bruh

thats added money

cobra is 10k and clears it fine

[lapis mauve]

la rue

[proper ginkgo]

what does editing presest do lol

its confusing af

[lapis mauve]

la rue raises the sight above the front iron sight

[twilit summit]

lol can anyone play with me? i have no clue what im doing, i kill people with a pistol everytime i go into a raid and then get rushed by multiple people

[waxen forge]

#521628660298678283

Then #pvp-lfg

[sonic lake]

yes it does

but

dude

budget

editing presets allow you to mod a gun without paying money for parts

to test out combinations

[proper ginkgo]

why when I go buy a mod from editing a preset it only shows one offer

[sonic lake]

oh no

dont buy mods from there

its bugged

just use it to test stuff

[proper ginkgo]

damn another broken feature lmfao

wdu mean test? test what? The way it looks?

[open basin]

yeah the game is really in beta lmao

[sonic lake]

the way it looks

and the stats

[proper ginkgo]

ok tyty

[lapis mauve]

you can buy mods there when traders are maxed

[frosty pewter]

anybody know how to claim the new year loot

[lapis mauve]

works fine for me now

[waxen forge]

Go to website...log in...profile

[frosty pewter]

okay thanks

[waxen forge]

Scroll down...Receive additional in-game content.

[proper ginkgo]

Goddamn that's a 30k gun. Adar + cobra

Is there anything more budget lol or should I not push it?

[sonic lake]

just get a vepr 136

best budget gun

adar ammo is bad at early level

[proper ginkgo]

wtf wow all that and theres a better budget gun hahahah

[sonic lake]

PS ammo is pretty decent and cheap

edit presets lets people do this without wasting money

[proper ginkgo]

can I put a sight on a vepr?

[waxen forge]

Need a rail

[young imp]

as a new player, is it worth hanging onto a terragroup labs access card or should i just sell it?

[waxen forge]

Sell it

[young imp]

oki thanks

[waxen forge]

@proper ginkgo Put a bandage on flea for trade...for an ADAR.

[grave helm]

@sonic lake wtf is this preset wtf

[viral ibex]

So I just got the game like 30 seconds ago currently downloading. What should i expect or know?

[waxen forge]

Expect to die

[proper ginkgo]

@waxen forge wtf why

[sonic lake]

get a TT01

[waxen forge]

I build you a basic ADAR

[sonic lake]

it lets you put a small sight on the vepr

or a bastion dust cover

[proper ginkgo]

Ps ammo on a vepr or is it that bad? I should just usse bp?

[viral ibex]

off

oof

uhhh is the game hard?

[waxen forge]

@viral ibex Reset expectations. Doesn't matter how well you do at other shooters. This game has a huge learning curve. You are going to die due to lack of experience..not gear..not hackers....experience.

Learn maps...use internet map on 2nd screen

Play offline

[viral ibex]

dang

[waxen forge]

To practice

[sonic lake]

PS ammo is very good

[viral ibex]

i played rb6 which has a big learning curve too

[sonic lake]

for the price

[waxen forge]

Use your scav

[proper ginkgo]

@viral ibex Scav running is great, hatchet running as pmc is great

[waxen forge]

Not the same as any other shooter

[viral ibex]

what is pmc

i know what scav its where you spawn with random loot right

[sonic lake]

a budget build, GP-25 buttpad, dynacomp, ak-100 handguard, TT01

[waxen forge]

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

[sonic lake]

if you find a collimator in raid you can put one on

[waxen forge]

PMC is taking in your loot.

[sonic lake]

if you find a foregrip and flashlight in game

put one on

[grave helm]

@viral ibex you will get rekt at the start from bots (no joke) every other fps exp wont help you that much in tarkov. You need to get used to the movement etc

[viral ibex]

mmm

damn

sounds pretty cool

[proper ginkgo]

So TT01 and Weaver on Vepr?

[grave helm]

the game is nice but it will take u prob 1 week before geting to know one map and some basics

[waxen forge]

Yea that'd work

James put up the bandage

[proper ginkgo]

that seems like it would also be 30k

[viral ibex]

what is hatchet running as pmc?

[waxen forge]

When you go in with just melee

[sonic lake]

cheaper gun

better ammo

[young imp]

naked and scoop up anything and everything and try to extract

[sonic lake]

cheaper mags

[viral ibex]

huh

[sonic lake]

veprs are pretty much free from scavs

[waxen forge]

However they have made it so if you die with no weapon equipped then you will only have 1% health

[viral ibex]

should i start with scavs?

[sonic lake]

make sure to use the 136 and not the 209

[waxen forge]

If you die with a weapon you have 30% health

Scav then do Offline PMC

Then do scav again...then offline PMC

[viral ibex]

guys if i ask really stupid questions im sorry im just stupid in general lol

[proper ginkgo]

^ eventually scav then hatchet run/pistol run and eventually build up to going in as a pmc with budget kits etc

@viral ibex this is the place to ask. We've all been there, a lot of us still are in this chat

Im new too

[viral ibex]

thanks

[sonic lake]

im still pretty dumb

i use guns based off looks and not stats omegalul

[steady pilot]

[proper ginkgo]

@faint anchor You said the vepr had much cheaper ammo. Did you mean the ps ammo?

[steady pilot]

Yes

[proper ginkgo]

and thats decent ammo?

[steady pilot]

It works for the most part

It will take a few rounds to drop lvl4

[viral ibex]

well is the mpx,mp7,mp9 good?

[steady pilot]

Only 34 pen, but solid dmg

[sonic lake]

but its better than m855

for 86 per round

[steady pilot]

9mm is trash

[sonic lake]

mp7 good

shredder

[waxen forge]

@proper ginkgo Go to Interchange night lobby. Bring a rig and no backpack.

[sonic lake]

expensive ammo

[viral ibex]

hmmm

[steady pilot]

Mp7 is too expensive for what its worth

[viral ibex]

we use money aswell?

wtf

[proper ginkgo]

@waxen forge for what?

[waxen forge]

I'm going to give u this basic ADAR I built you

[proper ginkgo]

oh ok

[waxen forge]

We'll just run around outside and u can exfil

[steady pilot]

You can just trade him the gun

[sonic lake]

^

if youre gonna drop someone a gun

[waxen forge]

Was going to but the tax for the transaction would hurt

[sonic lake]

drop them a full kit too kek

[steady pilot]

The tax for an adar

Is nothing

It's a 6k receiver which is what's it's based on

[warm rover]

Man everyone and their mom is going to interchange now... It's soo hard to go in there and not get killed

[sonic lake]

^

[steep barn]

Hey guys, should I just keep ammo and sell all other loot I get during raids?

[sonic lake]

keep guns youll use

sell shit ammo

keep good armor

keep bags that are bigger than an mbss

[steep barn]

I see.

Got it. Thanks.

[sonic lake]

and by guns youll use i mean really use

[azure badge]

yo so i've been putting 7k in my gamma on customs like always

but recently i haven't been spawning in with it

[sonic lake]

probably

when youre buying something

it takes it out of your container

or insuring

[azure badge]

yeah that's what i figured

but last time i insured and then took everything out

then put 7k from my crate into my gamma

this was happening last night too

btw the vepyr is definitely a dope budget gun, been having a lot of fun with it

[sonic lake]

are you replacing that 7k with loot you find?

cause you should

aye yeah its all i ran until i got to level 30

[azure badge]

i keep it just in case i want to extract at dorms

[sonic lake]

yeye

[azure badge]

maybe it's just something weird happening

[sonic lake]

do all your insuring and buying

and then put it on

[fossil patrol]

This game has been whooping my ass

[sonic lake]

it tends to do that at first

actually

it tends to do that all the time

[bold kernel]

So for Prapors quest BP Depot, the previous quest gave me a saiga, some money, and 4 markers

[marble blade]

used pp gun and emptied 2 clips to scav, got one shot as response

[bold kernel]

but then when I went in my stash it disappeared

so now I have to buy the markers, is this a bug that can be fixed, or did I just get fucked?

[marble blade]

bug

you just got screwed

[sonic lake]

restart game

[bold kernel]

I did

[sonic lake]

you should get it back in messages

from prapor

[bold kernel]

this happened last night, and I check today

[sonic lake]

check your messages from parpor

[bold kernel]

I dont have another message from him, and all rewards have been "claimed"

[sonic lake]

welp

look through your whole stash

[bold kernel]

I remember where I put them

all in the center, and now its all gone

[sonic lake]

did you accept the bp depot quest?

cause i havent heard of that bug yet

[torpid wraith]

what does medstation 3 give you? anything notable?

[sonic lake]

better oor healing

and idk

ledx kinda expensive

lol

[viral ibex]

oof my wifi test says 100mbs download but its downloading 3mb

[torpid wraith]

yea, thats why im asking just got one from labs. dont know if i should dot hat, or turn it for my therapist quest

[unique wolf]

Med station 3 doesn't seem that good

[sonic lake]

tbh yeah

only do it if you really want to upgrade hideout

sell it

[torpid wraith]

well, the big thing about med station 3 from what i can see is the access to intel lvl 2 whihc gives scav box

[sonic lake]

then do it if you want scav box lol

[unique wolf]

Scav box seems like a money waste too lol

[viral ibex]

is there a reason why 9mm guns sucks? because most of them are my favorite guns

[torpid wraith]

i think i migh just sell it and buy more cards

[sonic lake]

because 9mm boolet sucks

i still use them

because i like

[viral ibex]

what is 9mm boolet

[sonic lake]

the 9mm rounds

lol

[viral ibex]

dangh

[sonic lake]

G18C with AP 6.3 is fun

[viral ibex]

ooooooh

[sonic lake]

so are all the SMGs

[viral ibex]

i get it now lol

[sonic lake]

although AP6.3 still sucks

[viral ibex]

boolet didnt register as bullet in my brain sorry xD

is there a inventory capacity on your main character?

[unique wolf]

Yeah AP is good for slicing through scavs in factory

[torpid wraith]

what do you mean

[viral ibex]

ok when your escape your get the loot

[unique wolf]

but if you run into someone with a shielded helmet and lvl 4 armor you're boned

[viral ibex]

the loot goes to your inventory??

[torpid wraith]

no

it stays on your chracter

you have to then transfer it o your stash

[viral ibex]

oooooo

[sonic lake]

there is inventory limit

[viral ibex]

does stash have a capacity

[torpid wraith]

yes

if you have eod you get automatic full stash limit

otherwise

upgrade hideout to get moe

[viral ibex]

huh very cool

[torpid wraith]

thats why people ta;l about having to play tetris

after a raid

[viral ibex]

watching a beginner guide rn

[torpid wraith]

some people play one loadout at a time and just sell everything nto apart of it

some people keep everything they get

[viral ibex]

coool

[twilit tinsel]

What are dog tags most commonly used for?

[torpid wraith]

selling

you need some for quest

[twilit tinsel]

ok cool

[frozen bone]

for the therapist barter for kiba, do oat flakes need to be 40/40?

[viral ibex]

so what is the timer for?

[sonic lake]

so you extract before game ends

lol

[grave helm]

IF the timer goes to 0 u die

[viral ibex]

ooof

[glacial jay]

is there any direct way to turn dollars and euros to ruples

[grave helm]

market

[proper ginkgo]

Why do loads of guns come without the muzzle from the stock build. I'm trying to buy a vepr km and none of them have the muzzle

[steady pilot]

mechanic lvl 1

sell it

most veprs are scav looted

[proper ginkgo]

why dont the scavs have the stock build?

[viral ibex]

scav are bots right?

[proper ginkgo]

yes

wait sort of

[steady pilot]

you can just buy a dynaocmp for better stats

[viral ibex]

so people can turn into them though

[proper ginkgo]

theyre a faction. there are player scavs and AI sscavs

[steady pilot]

dynocomp is 2.7k for 8% recoil reduction. the vpo muzzle is 3% for about 800 roubles

[viral ibex]

coool

[glacial jay]

is the flea market glitched with barter trades? im trying to barter for something with 3 items and it wont let me put them in the window even tho i have them items

only lets me put in the first item

[viral ibex]

is the mpx good?

[open basin]

what are you trying to barter

[glacial jay]

for the red rebel ice pick

it lets me bater my ruples but not the euros and dollars even tho i have them and it even shows them in the top right

[steep barn]

Are Tank Helmets good?

[open basin]

no

and yeah for some reason that shit doesnt work for me

[viral ibex]

the mpx is like my favorite gun lol

[steep barn]

what do you do with christmas balls?

I got a red one.

[grave helm]

christmas tree inside your hideout

[rain oar]

Peeps, whats some good but cheap 5.56 ammo?

[proper ginkgo]

What kind of armor should you run in a budget kit

This is my budget kit so far

[sonic lake]

level 3 at least

[proper ginkgo]

@faint anchor So then probs kirasa?

[broken briar]

THIS SHIT IS WHAT I CALL A BRUH MOMENTO

[grave helm]

@rain oar https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[bold kernel]

Why do I feel like helmets literally do not matter

[grave helm]

cause they dont in some cases

[open basin]

unless your helm covers your entire face

[grave helm]

I headshot a dude who used a maska + face shield

[proper ginkgo]

why iss the kirasa which has higher durability and less negatives cheaper than the 6b23

[grave helm]

in some cases it helps and in others it wont do shit

[bold kernel]

too wich shoud i give the quest chemical part 4 ?

[dull cave]

@proper ginkgo durability isnt everything

material also matters

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Bm44E0rqL4gj5Banqu9pq_5xNyuY5nI_mCtjuZp5hfo/edit?usp=sharing

[proper ginkgo]

got something like that for helmets? Trying to figure out how to put together a budget armor kit to go with my vepr km

[dull cave]

no

but budget helmet is ssh

[bold kernel]

helm ets

[dull cave]

the russian army one

[rain oar]

Also, is running Gen4 a good idea?

[dull cave]

that massively depends

[rain oar]

On?

[dull cave]

whether its profitable for you

[rain oar]

I mean

I just want some decent armor

[dull cave]

right so gen4 is like 240k

[rain oar]

Okay, not yet

[dull cave]

lets assume the rest of your kit is another 150-200k

[rain oar]

What else should I run then?

[dull cave]

thats ~400k

[rain oar]

That's reasonable?

[dull cave]

means that if your SR is 33%

you need to make 800k profit per successful run

to break even

[rain oar]

Okay, nope.exe

Just need something reasonable

[dull cave]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Bm44E0rqL4gj5Banqu9pq_5xNyuY5nI_mCtjuZp5hfo/edit?usp=sharing

use that and the flea market to decide

[rain oar]

Would level 4 be enough, technically?

[dull cave]

!ammo

[tribal robin]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

[dull cave]

level 4 stops almost all the midtier rifle ammos

[grave helm]

a Mosin gonna rek u anyways lol

[rain oar]

I mean

Yeah.

[dull cave]

bad attitude

[rain oar]

I mean

It depends on the ammo

[dull cave]

armor allows you to survive mistakes

[thick kite]

Lets assume that a person is so bad at this game that he already lost all his money and still feels like Im late at the game until I suddenly die from a shot taken god knows where. Lets assume that this person is felling like he should try another map, just to die in a different place. What map would you guys recommend me, I mean, recommend to this person.

[rain oar]

Git gud on one map.

[dull cave]

pharma

[thick kite]

Yuo

[dull cave]

most beginners feel the same way you do

when they start

[rain oar]

^

I did aswell

[dull cave]

and I always tell them the 2 same things

you have to options from here

[rain oar]

I just got gud on Customs first

Because youll spend a good chunk of your starting time there

[grave helm]

@thick kite interchange

[dull cave]

option 1 is examining your deaths every time. Where you died, how you died, what you could've done, what you heard,m what you were doing

[thick kite]

I imagined. Thats why I focused on getting the map on my head starting at customs

[dull cave]

Option 2 is following a better gamer around while they teach you

[thick kite]

Got that, and I admit that this has been an issue

[dull cave]

they will be able to artifically shove experience up your brain

[thick kite]

I seem to be unable to assess the scenario when engaging.

The distance from the shots, and positioning using steps... I hear way to late

[proper ginkgo]

why does the material matter for armor

[grave helm]

cause it effect the durability, repair cost

[thick kite]

Im trying to group with some better players and observe more how they move

[proper ginkgo]

How do you repair armor?

[grave helm]

right click -> repair

[thick kite]

I guess I shoud just keep on grinding on Customs.

[rain oar]

You could also request a sherpa.

[thick kite]

At least I am in the right direction

[dapper drum]

What's up with smugglers boat? I just had my best raid ever (prob not much but had a pretty big backpacak filled with weapons and addons, for me it was ALOOOOT)

When does it come? I stayed there for 10 minutes, scared up to my throat about leaving. It wasnt long left until the raid was over so started walking for crossroads and got instaHS:ed in the head :/

[dull cave]

its either there or it isnt

[proper ginkgo]

Where do I see cost to repair vests

[dull cave]

right click

repair

[proper ginkgo]

I dont have the armor

[dull cave]

then you dont

[proper ginkgo]

Im trying to see what it costs to repair different tpyes of armor

[dapper drum]

So it doesnt show up at different times, if its not there, im screwed?

[grave helm]

holly shit

[proper ginkgo]

Repair cotss arent on the wiki?

[dull cave]

you arent screwed

[grave helm]

no it's not @dapper drum

[dull cave]

you just have to walk like 450 meters further

[grave helm]

get to another extract point

[thick kite]

Thanks you guys. Its good to have such advice! Thanks a lot. Let me go there to die a little once again until I git gud

[dull cave]

Pharma

pay attention to every death

every death is a learning point

[dapper drum]

Yes but I was talking about that exfil point. So that means noone can exfil there for the entire raid?

[dull cave]

its there

or it isnt

[grave helm]

Would be easy if plays.tv was still around

[thick kite]

I ll do that, for sure!! Thats the missing piece I guess.

Thanks again!

[dull cave]

yupg

gl

[grave helm]

@dapper drum double click O . to see where u can extract. Smuggler boat isnt the only extract point

[dapper drum]

Yes i know @grave helm . I just wondered if the boat would show up later in that raid. I was trying to get to another exfil point later in the game as it didnt show up and died. Just wanted to know if i did the right choice to move away from smugglers boat

But thanks 🙂

[open basin]

If the campfire isnt there then smugglers boat isnt there

[dapper drum]

oh okay :/

[brazen owl]

Best map to snipe ppl?

[dull cave]

reserve

woods

shoreline

[open basin]

Factory

[brazen owl]

kk

kek*

[grave helm]

Yes it was the right choice ^^ Same goes for the Car, if the gates are closed, they wont come back

[rain oar]

6B23-2 would do the job, right? @dull cave

[brazen owl]

Im going to give Reserve a chance

[open basin]

Ima do a reserve cav run when i get back

[brazen owl]

pls no

you might get to me

[dull cave]

@rain oar double click it, what level and material

[open basin]

To see if spending 3mill on rr and paracord is worth it

[dull cave]

is that the level 4 ceramic?

[rain oar]

Yeah

It is

[brazen owl]

nah it is not less

[open basin]

Im buying pizza right now

[dull cave]

its not super repairable

[brazen owl]

i've only found 1 guy camping hermetic so far

[rain oar]

Shit.

[dull cave]

but it does its job

[proper ginkgo]

So I'm guessing armor repair cost from cheapest to most expensive is aramid, aluminum, steel, polymer, ceramic, titan?

[rain oar]

Gzhel-K then?

[dull cave]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Bm44E0rqL4gj5Banqu9pq_5xNyuY5nI_mCtjuZp5hfo/edit#gid=434868368

[rain oar]

But thats also ceramic..

Urgh

[dull cave]

that shows the damage modifiers

[lapis mauve]

dont use ceramic unless you want to use it 1-2 raids

[dull cave]

aramid, polymer, and steel repair the best

combined next

then titan

then ceramic and aluminum

[rain oar]

Hmm.. is there a armored rig with 1x3 slots?

[dull cave]

tv-110

[rain oar]

(The ones that can fit 45 rnd mags and stuff)

[dull cave]

i tink

[proper ginkgo]

@dull cave How come that info isn't on the wiki or anything. It's not explained anywhere what it costs to repair armor

[dull cave]

because that info isn't super available

that sheet is also only 2 weeks old

[proper ginkgo]

wtfffffffffffffff

[dull cave]

not everything has to be spoonfed either

[proper ginkgo]

It's not about being spoonfed

[dull cave]

how do you think everyone in the game learned which ammos to use?

[rain oar]

Think Ill go with a TV-110

[dull cave]

figureing it out

themselves

[rain oar]

even though it only covers the thorax

[proper ginkgo]

Ok good for them

[dull cave]

just bring a CMS in your container

[proper ginkgo]

By your mentality why even has thiss channel?

everyone go learn on your own

Great advice

[dull cave]

oi

keep talkin shit mate

[proper ginkgo]

Lol?

[grave helm]

^holly shit

[dull cave]

I've answered all your question

[proper ginkgo]

Sensitive much?

[rain oar]

I have a surv12

[open basin]

[rain oar]

I think that does the same job?

[dull cave]

i use that too

yeah

it also heals fractures

takes longer

but restores more total hp

[rain oar]

I got 5 surv12 for cheap

[lapis mauve]

and gives more hp than cms

[grave helm]

James how about you watch youtube videos about the game and learn there if you aren't satisfied with the help you get here from Hey there partner

[proper ginkgo]

@grave helm I'm trying to look all over the place and also asking why I can't find it in certain locations

I'm trying to look but I can't find it

[brisk mortar]

[golden brook]

@dull cave This channel is for people that want help, if you aren't going to help then please, don't say anything

[dull cave]

colonel

I answered every question?

[rain oar]

Ouch. TV-110 is also kinda expensive

[dull cave]

Could you show me where I didn't help?

it repairs super well though

[rain oar]

True.

[dull cave]

easily usable for 8 raids if you can survive

[rain oar]

Ah I'll just pay for a full one

My SR went up to like 41% now too.

[dull cave]

nb

[rain oar]

I guess I'm getting better.

[proper ginkgo]

How hard is it to edit the wiki. I would add an armor repair page if I can figure it out. I don't ssee why it's not there

[dull cave]

just gotta press the edit button

[rain oar]

150k for a 0/68 🤔

Eh, probably not worth

[proper ginkgo]

@rain oar whats that

[dull cave]

if your goal is 1x3s

get an alpha

and a bodyarmor

[rain oar]

I just need 3 1x3s really

[dull cave]

alpha

[rain oar]

Just want some good stuff that could help my ass at times

Hmm.. Trooper doesnt seem like a bad idea

[dull cave]

troopers great

ton of effective hp

level 4

quite repairable

[lapis mauve]

trooper and alpha

[rain oar]

115k for a 70/70

Not too bad

Right now the question.. helmets. Urgh. EFT y u so in depth

[dull cave]

tell me what you want

i will tell you what helmet to run

[rain oar]

Uh

Something effective?

and reliable.

[dull cave]

level

ear protection

headphones

[rain oar]

Uuuhh

[dull cave]

facemask

[open basin]

Penis helm

[solid cargo]

i need to register help

[dull cave]

#news-setup and #521628660298678283

[rain oar]

Uuhh.. either lv 3 or 4

[dull cave]

headphone? facemask?

[rain oar]

Headphone would be nice. Cant live without my comtacs

[grave helm]

Question: Aren't the new ppl in the server directed to "welcome to tarkov" or isn't that a thing

[dull cave]

they are

some people just miss

the checkmark

[south wraith]

my game has some damn much screen tearing all of a sudden

[dull cave]

#community-support

[grand elm]

@south wraith Close the game and clear your cache from the launcher every few raids.

[rain oar]

@dull cave Right so, lv 3/4 with a shield and being able to use comtacs

[grand elm]

Unless youre running a level 4 helmet with HIGH ricochet chance, dont even waste your money.

[rain oar]

Just need some head protection, tbf

[south wraith]

@grand elm you mean cleaning the temp folder right?

[grand elm]

Yes

[dull cave]

lzsh, fastmt, airframe, new team wendy,

if you are willing to drop the shield it gets cheaper. Ulach, achhc, ach

[rain oar]

I an run the ulach with comtacs?

[dull cave]

willing to drop the headphones but not the shield, kiver, zsh, bnti LSHZ

yes

[rain oar]

Then Ill get the Ulach

Thanks man.

[dull cave]

awesome!

[acoustic timber]

[willow seal]

So what’s a good map for newbs?

Interchange has been going well for me

[rain oar]

75k for a 38/38

[dull cave]

thats nota tt

[acoustic timber]

i was joking

holy shit that scared me tho

[dull cave]

lol

[rain oar]

That sounds like a

sniper rifle to me?

[acoustic timber]

he had a 366 vpo 215

[rain oar]

F

[royal vale]

why can't i sell $

[grave helm]

[royal vale]

[grave helm]

[royal vale]

nope

[grave helm]

[royal vale]

[grave helm]

yeah

[royal vale]

k

-_-

[crude hearth]

is there a reason why next wont work when trying to play labs ?

[royal vale]

since i can't sell them on market

[chrome swallow]

@crude hearth do you have a keycard

[crude hearth]

oh ok

no i dont

[grand elm]

@royal vale no

[lofty shuttle]

can u buy m4 lowers on flea market cannot find them

[grand elm]

Unless you buy with dollars and sell for roubles but take the loss

[royal vale]

so stupid

why can't i sell them

[viral ibex]

Where can I find a map can’t find the extraction point lol

[oblique void]

so, for the gunsmith part 2 quest, i have the gun that meets all the requirements but it wont let me turn in or complete the mission, any advice?

[royal vale]

just google it

[viral ibex]

5 min left I’m gonna die aaa

I don’t remember what map I’m in lol

[royal vale]

screenshot it

or tell how it looks like

[lapis mauve]

is it folded and the mag has no ammo?

[untold urchin]

@oblique void fold it

[oblique void]

it is

[viral ibex]

Looks like a jungle and have some buildings but broken down ones

[royal vale]

woods?

[waxen forge]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Gunsmith_-_Part_2

[untold urchin]

either it needs to be folded or make sure its unloaded and mag is empty

[viral ibex]

Looks like factories

[oblique void]

aight ill try that

[untold urchin]

otherwise you don't have the right parts somehow! gl

[oblique void]

thanks preciate it

[viral ibex]

Doesn’t look like woods

[royal vale]

you probably need to accept your death

[viral ibex]

Yep XD

[royal vale]

since you got 5 min left and got no clue where you are

[viral ibex]

At least I killed like 4 people

[grave helm]

follow the wall and look at the map on wiki

thats what I did when I got lost

[broken briar]

is the adar fixed

[viral ibex]

1 min too late good bye cruel world

[broken briar]

is it fixed

[reef prairie]

for the signal part 1 task, do i have to go both locations and extract or is the objective done once i get there?

[rain compass]

iirc signal part 1 doesn't need an extract to finish

[unique wolf]

if it does it doesn't have to be that raid

[reef prairie]

wiki says "survive and leave the area"

[fallen crane]

cheapest helmet that has face shield and headphone compatability?

[long spear]

lzsh i think

[cloud crest]

Hey Guys! New player here, 2 days in. When I'm playing as a scav, will AI scavs turn hostile if I loot a dead scav? It happened to me several times now but everyone just says that they become hostile only if you shoot

[oblique void]

yea, i guess gunsmith part 2 is just busted for me

[long spear]

i dont play scav much so i dont know for sure, but im pretty sure that just looting a dead scav doesnt matter, you probably were killed by a player scav

[grave helm]

No they don't. they only attack if you attack a scav

[viral ibex]

umm i have 15 min to wait to play scav should i wait or play my main with just a pistol?

[grave helm]

sure why not

[frosty crown]

@cloud crest only if you shoot them. its probably a player scav thats killing u

[viral ibex]

oh so i did kill a player yay

[cloud crest]

Nah, I'm being killed by the bots:( Just played as a scav, going around a map and only looting dead scavs, no shooting, and first bot that I met is already hostile and shoot me

[long spear]

how do you know it was a bot

[cloud crest]

robotic movements and shit talking in russian)

[rain oar]

Doesnt mean it was AI

[lapis mauve]

boss maybe? they kill player scavs

[cloud crest]

Ren why disappear like that 😦

[civic apex]

1st time playing EFT....looking for ppl to help guide me on learning how to play..never played on a mouse and keyboard so its super different need ppl that have good patience and willing to teach

[grave helm]

maybe a fake scav

[sonic lake]

@proper ginkgo idk if anyones already answered this but kirasa is crap

Zhuk press armor is the best level 3 armor

[grave helm]

@civic apex start an offline raid and get used to the movement, you wont lose your items there either if u die or dc

[rain compass]

i like the kirasa when you find it in raid

i mean it has better stats than the zhuk, right?

[trim herald]

@proper ginkgo @sonic lake https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSB0S0MrcoQIblDRkjWsKCnsSxJoq4KrPS1-K4jUHmMlfqOX80VKH8FxkS7hsduivh7RjiSNLzDScdX/pubhtml#

Kirasa is better than Zhuk

[civic apex]

@grave helm sounds good will do

[fading token]

Anyone got advice for someone who's lost all of their weapons?

[grave helm]

@civic apex you can also disable or make the Scavs easier/harder

[trim herald]

@fading token Scav runs

[civic apex]

ima try that right now 👍

[fading token]

What's the best map for me to do scav runs on?

[grave helm]

@fading token scav runs and hatchling runs,

[sonic lake]

no it really isnt

[grave helm]

Interchange i would say

[sonic lake]

kirasa is shit

[rain compass]

@sonic lake y tho

[trim herald]

So 111 is a greater number than 140 then, @sonic lake

[sonic lake]

shit repair

shit repair

its expensive

better off buying class 4 if youre buying a fresh kirasa

[trim herald]

It's marginally worse than Zhuk, not by a massive amount

[rain compass]

well yeah, you're btter off buying c4

yeah

[trim herald]

You're better off getting the lvl4 armoured rig than either, for sure

[rain compass]

he was only talking about stats tho

[grave helm]

Is it decent or can it get better? cause I might use that m4

[trim herald]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yHyVEVB5oN0qL_pR1qTNP1_ICmzJ3SCFJQNb6XDM_DQ/htmlview?sle=true#gid=0

[sonic lake]

bad m4

[trim herald]

@grave helm

[sonic lake]

high recoil

[long spear]

slap on a foregrip

[grave helm]

@trim herald thx Im looking into it

[trim herald]

No worries bud

[sonic lake]

full auto is p hard to use with that high recoil on an m4

esp with low soft skills

best bang for buck class 3 is the zhuk which is free from scavs, and cheap on flea with great repair

when you get level 2 ragman your budget armor/rig should be the 6b3tm

its cheap for class 4 and has better repair than class 4 ceramics

[trim herald]

Honestly the biggest pro with the 6b3tm is that it very rarely gets looted, so even if you die you'll get it in insurance

Where as most other lvl4 is likely to get looted

[sonic lake]

all my zhuks come back too lul

idk whose looting your ceramic level 4s

but

wack

[trim herald]

Yeah but lvl3 also doesn't stop shit

[sonic lake]

its for scav protection

budget kit man

hes not running around trying to fight pmcs

[indigo ermine]

Where do i find squads to do runs with?

[sonic lake]

@indigo ermine #521628660298678283 #news-setup

then #pvp-lfg

[trim herald]

Not like you have much of a choice on say Customs though bud 😄

[sonic lake]

low level traders mean they dont have a choice either

[trim herald]

Flea means they do

And if it's just based on what can be looted, then any armour is better than no armour

[sonic lake]

aye man

i just say whats worked for me past patches

the 6b3tm is really good though

[rain oar]

Guys, what key should I keep and which ones should I sell from these?

(I just realized I have 2 206, my bad )

[blissful quarry]

all of them are useful

[rain oar]

Yeah?

[blissful quarry]

you also have 2 gas station keys

[rain oar]

Yeah

I just realized that too.

[bold kernel]

How and why the fuck do you have that many keys

[long spear]

thats not a lot of keys...

[rain oar]

That's not

a lot of keys

That's like, a really small amount

[rain compass]

what that's like an average amount of keys

[rain oar]

I want to make keytools for each map.

[sonic lake]

i have like

[rain oar]

But that's still gonna take a while

[sonic lake]

a docs case+blackrock of keys

lol

[blissful quarry]

i just bought myself a dorms key set, its like 20 keys

[sonic lake]

and a keytool

[rain oar]

I did keytools for every map before 0.12 too

And it was the best thing I ever did

Besides buying the game, of course

[bold kernel]

Oh, well I’m only a level 6 so excuse my retardation

[rain oar]

Well. the 313 key is 210k ish

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel #521628660298678283

Yeah I already looked at it

why is your nickname white then

Because I just clicked the check mark? Idk

[rain oar]

lies.

[rain compass]

it's kinda hard to spot tbh

[bold kernel]

Well I’d send a screenshot if I could

But I did

reclick it

Just did that

reclick it

Bruh

@vernal anchor

Still don’t have it

[vernal anchor]

gotcha

[bold kernel]

Oh

Thanks m8

[rain compass]

bot broken probs

[rain oar]

Mako the MVP

[bold kernel]

Yay now I can use my other emotes

Gamer

[grave helm]

[open basin]

it's cuz nikita needs more people to buy eod before the official eft discord gets a better bot

[bold kernel]

I don’t have the fucking money for EOD

I wish I did

[grave helm]

u better will

sell your kidney

[bold kernel]

Nah I already lost 1 organ thanks though

[celest sundial]

question about scav spawn rates, anyone wanna help me?

[bold kernel]

[rain oar]

EoD is 25% off. It's a good deal

[rain compass]

it's ok weeb man, just buy better containers from fence when they pop up

[bold kernel]

Still 100 dollars m8

Oh Fence sells keys?

[rain oar]

Ask Nikita if he accepts roubles

[bold kernel]

[rain compass]

containers, but yes he also sells keys

oh you mean those kyes

[celest sundial]

anyways

[open basin]

fence is selling an alpha right now

you can buy it

[rain compass]

kek

[celest sundial]

i was in the kitchen area in IDEA, and thr scavs litterally kept coming

I killed 17 scavs and there was hardly a break in them

[glacial jay]

is it no longer possible to put the ammo case in the gamma?

[bold kernel]

Dam

[grave helm]

@celest sundial there are revange scavs that spawn and run towards the dead body

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel got the game free

[rain oar]

Why is the red rebel ice pick so expensive

[bold kernel]

bought eod on sale

big brain

[grave helm]

huge brain

[bold kernel]

@rain oar cuz it can be used to extract

[celest sundial]

i ended up jumping down the stairs, breaking my legs, and then dying from exposure 5 from the erecom exit gate

[bold kernel]

How the fuck did you get it for free

[celest sundial]

@grave helm wtf really?

[bold kernel]

@bold kernel a friend had a free code from alpha tarkov

[glacial jay]

@rain oar bc its almost necessary to bring on reserve

[bold kernel]

That’s a bruh moment

[rain oar]

fuck

[bold kernel]

Well good for you ig

[grave helm]

@celest sundial yeah I just learnd it today from a youtuber who talked about it

[bold kernel]

Imagine playing reserve

Factory and customs all day

[rain oar]

I really wanted to get one so I can use it for extraction

[celest sundial]

@grave helm i wish i could get a fucking refund for this damn game

[glacial jay]

lowest ive seens is 2.6 mill thats what i got mine at

paracords are upwards of 100k and u need one of those too

[grave helm]

@celest sundial why tho 😮

[muted juniper]

what room do you find the bronze pocket watch in?

for the prapor quest

[celest sundial]

@grave helm 107 hours ingame and im just not having a good time

[grave helm]

@celest sundial go watch streamers and relax 😄

[celest sundial]

like earlier today, shot a unarmored PMC with 7.62 BS ammo, hit him 4 times. he snap shot me in the face.

@grave helm I have watched probably another 100 hours of youtube videos

[rain compass]

you hit the best armor in the game

arms

[celest sundial]

@rain compass i sat down with the damage calculator for about an hour trying to figure that out

i still call bullshit

i was shot twice in the same leg wearing gen4 assualt and died

but a player can tank 7.62

"MilSim" my ass

[muted juniper]

well tbf armor doesnt cover the legs

[long spear]

well theres 435 hp total, not many bullets will do that much in 4 hits

[celest sundial]

most armor doesnt cover the arms

[long spear]

also theres no 7.62 bs

[celest sundial]

BP then my bad

[long spear]

ah, bp is 58 flesh damage.... so thats 216 damage

216/435

[celest sundial]

199 dealt to him

[long spear]

although i think theres some kind of multiplier for hitting a blacked limb, but i dont think its 200 hp worth

[celest sundial]

1.79 multiplier for black out limbs

[rain compass]

do bullets fragment on limbs?

[split vapor]

they can

[vivid basalt]

Does the PM/PPSH drum mag go on any other pistols than the PM?

[celest sundial]

.12 chance for something like thay

but yea what i just explained

[viral ibex]

i keep on shooting scavs

[celest sundial]

has happened for the entire 107 hours ive played this game

[fading token]

Is there limited room in your stash?

[muted juniper]

yes the stash is limited

inventory management soon becomes a big headache

[celest sundial]

So have yall heard of anyone getting a refund? ive looked on the forums and it doesnt look promising

[split vapor]

You dont

[celest sundial]

That is also bullshit

[split vapor]

no?

its in the games EULA

so

yeah

[unique wolf]

Why would you be able to get a refund for not liking something?

[vivid basalt]

ahhh yes you can put it on the BP silenced pistol, perfect when you wanna be sneaky and not ever reload huhu :x

[steady pilot]

shoot bad

[celest sundial]

If you arent happy with a product, you should be able to return said product

[steady pilot]

nah

git gud

[celest sundial]

it becomes even more apperant when theres nothing physical

@steady pilot get fucked dude
