[ember bramble]

Nano

i just finished that quest, i can give it to u for free

[grizzled leaf]

Really?

you dont have to do that mate

[waxen forge]

[ember bramble]

Join night woods, what is ur ingame name?

[grizzled leaf]

Nan0tek

[tender kernel]

@waxen forge It's scav

And I am still waiting in queue

11 mins my record

[waxen forge]

Still throw it on the ground. Muffles hearing. Won't stop shit

[pearl flame]

what does this mean wtf

i thought i had enough loyalty

[waxen forge]

Restart game

It's a bug. Happens

[tender kernel]

13 mins

[pearl flame]

ah i see thanks

[split vapor]

Its not a bug when he doesnt have the needed rep

[pearl flame]

but I have .25?

and I need .20

or am i mixing something up

[trim herald]

You are correct

[split vapor]

whoops

oh

[trim herald]

Restart didn't work?

[split vapor]

yeah

[waxen forge]

Just play a bit. It will show up.

[split vapor]

just buy something

should do it

[waxen forge]

I had it happen earlier in the wipe for me.

[pearl flame]

okido thanks all

[tender kernel]

Still loading wtf

[pearl flame]

err

the opposite happened

apparently I lost reputation

its been on 0.20 for a week lmao

[trim herald]

You may have lost some from finishing a quest

[muted juniper]

how do i sell dollars on the flea market?

[vernal anchor]

You cant

[muted juniper]

but other people are selling them?

[vernal anchor]

Thats from when it was possible I assume

[muted juniper]

shit

now i have a ton of dollars that idk what to do with

[glossy pumice]

How do you know if you killed a player?

[tender summit]

i can only buy 100 rounds of 7n1 from prapor?

[glossy pumice]

I mean if you killed him and not someone else

[tender summit]

not sure how that works

[fresh gulch]

wait how do i get a sherpa to help me with the game?

[trim herald]

You'll need them for friend of the west, hand over like $14k in total

[tribal cove]

Does the valaday lag the game when scoping in? Compared to the elcan?

Any recommendations for a mid range scope?

[bold kernel]

@fresh gulch #sherpa-info

[trim herald]

@tribal cove I like the HAMR

[fresh gulch]

thxs

[vernal anchor]

@tender summit You can buy 100 rounds per trader reset, which is about every 2 hours

[bold kernel]

@tribal cove any magnification generally lags as it loads a new camera

try monstrum or eotech hhs

[open basin]

dollars are super useful tho

[tender summit]

@vernal anchor thankk you! is prapor the only one that sell 7n1?

[bold kernel]

less of an issue with decent magnification

[vernal anchor]

You can also get 7N1 from the market

[tender summit]

alright thanks 🙂

[tribal cove]

Ok

[twilit bane]

does anyone with a customs key wanna help me with the delivery quest

[open basin]

you can just get it off the flea market

[fresh gulch]

i have a question im filling out a sherpa request for the first time, im a bear but i prefer a usec assault loadout is there anyway without reseting my acount that i could get the usec loadout?

[rose echo]

Yeah you can choose whatever loadout you like @fresh gulch

[fresh gulch]

@rose echo ok thxs

[rose echo]

It doesn't matter which faction you are

np 🙂

[fresh gulch]

oh ye i like m4s but i wanna be able to yell suka blyat

[rose echo]

lol

[waxen forge]

I believe the faction choice is more of the playstyle of the sherpa....iirc

[bold kernel]

I am good scout ovrrwatch intel provision

create routes based on needs of my team

[grand elm]

@tribal cove Id suggest an ACOG with a canted sight, personally. A lot of the assault scopes are rather bulky in size. The ACOG is slim. However, if youre looking for an integrated 1x/4x Id use the Elcan DR1

[spring carbon]

Im looking for someone to help me get started and learn the ropes. don't want handouts or anything

[bold kernel]

Should I buy a weapons case or an items case to store my guns in?

Since the items case has 64 slots

Hey, could anyone help me get started in the game? I only escaped out of 1 raid out of like 10?

[tribal cove]

@grand elm I already have a canted sight, so I was thinking about a prism 2.5x. I had an elcan, but I sold it.

[muted juniper]

@bold kernel use #pvp-lfg

So you can see all of discord

[left plume]

how do u get the chat to work :C

all the voice chats have locks

[twilit pike]

I got a twitch drop but i dont see it anywhere

anybody know where/when you get it?

[vernal anchor]

You receive it through the in game mail from Prapor

[grave escarp]

in game from prapor, like insurance @twilit pike

[waxen forge]

Messenger from Prapor

[silver dome]

Guys? why cant i sell euros on the flea market???

[twilit pike]

do u get it right away?

[grave escarp]

think they disabled it recently @silver dome

[silver dome]

wut why

[grave escarp]

no clue

[muted juniper]

no insurance takes 24-36 hours to get your items back

if you use prapor

i think you can get it back faster if you use a different vendor

[grave escarp]

@twilit pike yeah u get it instantly, but the drop chances are random so u dont know when u will get one

[muted juniper]

oh wait nvm

disregard my comment

[vernal anchor]

You should also get a twitch notification

[muted juniper]

^

[waxen forge]

I just got some soap. Showed up in game before twitch...

Was hoping for soap

EFT been #1 game on twitch all day. Insane to see Pestily sitting at 70k viewers.

[silver dome]

wow

wait i dont understand

how does eft benefit from this

[waxen forge]

Eyes

[silver dome]

all theyre doing is making streamers recieve more views

[fluid path]

eyeballs

[waxen forge]

People will see and buy

[fluid path]

hey, check out our game

[silver dome]

oh truee

[waxen forge]

Streamers are marketing

[silver dome]

only reason i bought this game was becuase i seen Alias Muse's videos

so satisfying

[long spear]

i wouldnt know about eft if it wasnt for streamers

[fluid path]

people follow trends, not a game's merits usually

[vernal anchor]

Because its free promotion, and it develops a strong relationship with Twitch, and proves that working with other companies is viable

[silver dome]

nice

[waxen forge]

^

[fluid path]

lots of hidden gems of games that had no promo

[waxen forge]

PUBG came out of nowhere

This is a big day for EFT

[silver dome]

Nikita rn in a lamboghini

[timber dock]

I think it's funny that my highest skill is "Covert Movement".

[silver dome]

everyones highest skill is that

its easiest to level up

ur literally just walking

[timber dock]

So the regular walk counts towards it? It doesn't have to be slow-walking?

[long spear]

@timber dock used to be slow walking now its regular too

[prime ermine]

when you kill 3 full gears w a mosin

[mystic wolf]

any sherpas online?

[prime ermine]

and theres a 4th hiding in a bush

[fluid path]

always one more!

[prime ermine]

annoying because all i have is 200k

[waxen forge]

#521628660298678283 @mystic wolf

Then can get a sherpa request in #sherpa-info

But feel free to ask any questions

[mystic wolf]

thank you @waxen forge

[waxen forge]

No sweat..

[prime ermine]

i might quit this game now

litterally everyone is full gear

[main grail]

just use good ammo

[open basin]

[waxen forge]

I joined late wipe it's possible to climb up the ladder.

[main grail]

or run a mosin

[waxen forge]

Just gotta commit

[open basin]

do interchange scav runs for money

or play shoreline and loot the hidden caches

[vocal hound]

dying to a geard player then having to wait 20 mins to regen is ass bro

[potent hare]

can someone tell me if a sa58 is good

[waxen forge]

It is good

Use good ammo

[long spear]

gun is only as good as your ammo to a large extent, but yes its good

[potent hare]

i just wanna make sure since im looting bodies and i wanna make sure i take the best selling guns and a few keepers

[vocal hound]

sherpas dont get replied and no1 wants to play with new players :/

[long spear]

@prime ermine most people arent in the best gear, the majority of players i see are quite a ways below level 40, not sure what you mean by full gear

[prime ermine]

armor lv 5+

just got full w keyed 3x attempts in a row

on customs

first time i killed 3 people

then there was a 4th

next two times alot of damage absorbed

[fluid path]

What ammo were you shooting?

[prime ermine]

this last time 550dmg absorbed by armr

armor

[fluid path]

You wrecked them, you almost wiped a 4 man

That's good.

[prime ermine]

ss190

for the 1v3 it was a mosin

with lps gzh

[fluid path]

ss190 is only really good for level3/4

[prime ermine]

yes i know

i keep coming across t5+

over and over

:/

[fluid path]

Well, people are gonna use their millions of rubles.

Were you here when the wipe started?

[prime ermine]

i didn't have tarkov

lol

[fluid path]

Ah

Coming in mid wipe can be rough, youre clearly a good player

[prime ermine]

there should be a lower bracket tbh

eh nvm

[fluid path]

when you personally roll with level 4/5 and good ammo in a gun you like youll be super dangerous

[long spear]

well i mean you are using pistol rounds

[waxen forge]

I get your point but matchmaking and such is not in the spirit of the game

[fluid path]

starting at the wipe when everybody is broke is a lot of fun and has a better feel

[prime ermine]

yeah i look forward to that

[waxen forge]

I started late wipe. It's possible

[fluid path]

you just need some $

[long spear]

if you use 7.62 rounds you can get bullets half that price with more pen

[prime ermine]

what setup do you reccomend

[fluid path]

roll with a friend, you can probably win most of your fights

[prime ermine]

i have 142k left

[fluid path]

hrm

[prime ermine]

and boxes

[fluid path]

Vepr 136 and 7.62 BP should flatten people

[prime ermine]

but i don't wanna sell those

[fluid path]

on a budget

AS VAL SP-5 and SP-6 are reaaaallly good

[steady pilot]

dont use sp5

[fluid path]

but its a bit more than Vepr

[prime ermine]

i used a val before

i layed waste to everythign

[steady pilot]

vss is also cheaper than as val

for same gun

[prime ermine]

then i sold it :p[

:p

[fluid path]

sp-6 ammo is not hyper inflated so

sp-6 and m80 are probably the most affordable ammo that goes thru armor atm

[steady pilot]

sp5 is under 40 pen, and sp6 is 43

[fluid path]

fire rate high, low recoil

[prime ermine]

sp-6

[fluid path]

ppl do well with it, even if its not the best for a single shot

[prime ermine]

for what gun?

hunter?

[fluid path]

VSS or AS VAL

[steady pilot]

vss

[fluid path]

9x39 SP-6

[grand elm]

SP-6 is a cheap variant. Use it, it shreds.

Fucking AS Val is sick

[fluid path]

you can go even higher with 9x39 BP and SPP but theyre $

[steady pilot]

why does everyone keep promoting the more expensive gun

[fluid path]

sp-6 so affordable

idk i havent been broke in a while, didnt think about it

is it much cheaper?

[steady pilot]

vss ddoes everything the same

[grand elm]

Its the same gun. Just call them AS Val

whichever is cheaper buy that one

[steady pilot]

vss is technically the original

[open basin]

VSS

[steady pilot]

Cheaper by 35k

as val is a meme

[fluid path]

ah that is a lot

vss with an axion and a sight, maybe a tri-rail with Perst-3 for IR searchlight if youre feeling gucci

[fluid path]

huh. so ive been paying 80k vs 50k for nothing

TIL

[steady pilot]

:)

[red coral]

ok me has questions

first

how does one get the paper called the map

second

how map do you recommend?

[marble blade]

dont buy ingame maps

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Customs#/media/File:CustomsMarvelin.jpg

this is far better

[steady pilot]

use the wiki maps

[red coral]

ah I see

[steady pilot]

my group has the best woods map

if you want too save it

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/488117211739848706/580229375228641281/Detailed_woods_map.png

[red coral]

ok another question

so if you're playing as scavs other scavs wont shoot you correct?

[patent arrow]

Does Tarkov have some fuckedd up anti-prone mechanic?

[prime ermine]

mk

[steady pilot]

they wont

[prime ermine]

so val and a red dot

= gud

[steady pilot]

unless you shoot a scav

[prime ermine]

vss*

[patent arrow]

Can't un-prone after spamming it a million times

Can I not unprone while moving my mouse? Do I have to wait 5s after prone to unprone?

[fluid path]

were you reloading by chance

[red coral]

so how do you tell the difference between a player and a scav?

[patent arrow]

Nope

[marble blade]

@red coral experience

[patent arrow]

I was just tanking bullets by a scav extract camper, spamming C until I never went up

[steady pilot]

@red coral movement or clothing.

[marble blade]

if it moves like bot...its a bot

[acoustic timber]

bad luck for me just got one shotted by a hunter lol! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/660364129822834718/661000577995636746/Escape_From_Tarkov_2019.12.29_-_18.17.00.128.DVR_Trim.mp4

[somber bolt]

Just got killed by another player scav while there was 6 npc scavs around me and they didnt shoot him o-o

[red coral]

o o f

[steady pilot]

@red coral AI scavs do not have a container slot. P-Scavs have a container slot.

[grand elm]

AI Scavs will talk to you and walk around like a bot would. They dont spin back and forth like players would scanning a sector.

[fluid path]

scavs never aim up or down, never have a gun on their back, and usually walk slightly slower than you

and only sprint in combat

[acoustic timber]

von von von en suka and ur dead

[grand elm]

LOL

[red coral]

so what does your container do?

like the lil box

with the differnet colors

[grand elm]

Saves whatever you put in it

[waxen forge]

Safe container...is safe

[grand elm]

even if you die

[red coral]

😳

[waxen forge]

If you die..what is in it is safe

[acoustic timber]

not whatever u put it

[red coral]

ok ok

[acoustic timber]

certain stuff

: |

[red coral]

like what?

[marble blade]

that lil box is my med container

[patent arrow]

So what determines the ability to unprone?

[acoustic timber]

i wish u can put everything in ur container

[patent arrow]

Or was that a game breaking bug

[acoustic timber]

too bad couldn't

[waxen forge]

Can't put weapons in it

[steady pilot]

@patent arrow just -keep playing the game and move on. test it more or something in offline nobody has the answer

[acoustic timber]

i rlly want to put my expensive night vison

but theres no point

so i just sold it

[red coral]

what load out do you guys recommend?

[patent arrow]

@steady pilot Kinda hard to move on after losing all my $ invested in a kit, esp when I was 1.5s away from returning with 600k

[red coral]

if you;re new

[waxen forge]

I'm guessing you went prone in a bad spot or something..and the game wouldn't let you un-prone because it thought you were blocked.

[steady pilot]

you got tarkoved

[patent arrow]

Just for Tarkov to fuck up and screw me over with this mechanic

[steady pilot]

this isnt new

[patent arrow]

Yeah ik

[waxen forge]

Otherwise there is no condition for it

[long spear]

@red coral vepr km or sks with ps or maybe even bp ammo, at most paca armor from ragman lvl 1 , i recommend no helmet

[steady pilot]

@red coral if you want budget weapons, use vepr hunter or veprkm

m80 rounds with hunter, 7x39 PS with veprkm

[red coral]

ok me dont have that yet so me guess buy from market

[steady pilot]

yes

they are cheaper there

sks is worse to use over veprkm btw

its basically an SKS in AK platform

more mods better reloading etc etc

[long spear]

i would recommend vepr km over sks as well

usually same price

[red coral]

um what is a vepr km? like what type of gun/

?

[steady pilot]

a 7x39 AK

[bold kernel]

How does one switch sights from the 4x to the 1x on the scope that has the little red dot on top

[steady pilot]

if you peak in the market enough, i will find this rifle selling for 9-13k

[bold kernel]

Very poorly explained, I'm aware

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel ctrl RMB or ALT rmb

like evetything else

[bold kernel]

Doesn't seem to work, I switched the keybind to a mouse button but it doesnt work on that scope specifically

[waxen forge]

However if you mean the HAMR and you didn't buy the red dot to put on the top then it won't work.

[steady pilot]

^

knew he was talking about the hamr

you actually have to buy the red dot

[waxen forge]

Could have been Bravo but it'd be more obvious the red dot was missing

[bold kernel]

Hmmm okay, I think I had it but I'll double check when I can

[marble blade]

ok stupid question if you kill player and it says name: ???? level???? faction : bear does this mean he was way above my lvl?

[waxen forge]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Leupold_Mark_4_HAMR_4x24mm_DeltaPoint_hybrid_assault_scope

[steady pilot]

@marble blade you didnt loot his tag.

[waxen forge]

Means you didnt get his dogtag

[marble blade]

@steady pilot i tried to find it on him... sadly i did not see it

[rain oar]

Is there a receiver cover for AKs that has a mount on it?

I want to run an PK-06 but I dont want it to be front mounted

[steady pilot]

people can steal it too.

[fluid path]

yeah try dog leg

[steady pilot]

@rain oar tt01

replaces the iron sight

[waxen forge]

Or the

[steady pilot]

bastion dustcover if you want big optics

[waxen forge]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/AKademia_Bastion_dust_cover_for_AK

[fluid path]

tt01 is like half-way closer, its cheaper than a dust cover

[steady pilot]

if he wants a pk06 no reason for bastion

[waxen forge]

TT is nice and cheap

[rain oar]

Just want to run a PK-06 instead of a OKP

[steady pilot]

yes tt01

[vernal anchor]

TT10000

And I'm nearly over 1k hours in

accpet #521628660298678283 and #news-setup , when you get a blue name you did it right.

maybe i've been playing games for too long but 50 hours in a multiplayer game isn a lot to me

ive had people do it before and it worked

Just had to wait

look at this dude

[tender kernel]

Where is railroad to military base on customs?

[vernal anchor]

Delta, it dont

[grand elm]

What does the Discord mod know? Lol...

mhm

[grand elm]

Railroad tracks next to the gas station. Go north to the very far end of the tracks

@tender kernel

[bold kernel]

@tender kernel I just kept a map out on my phone until I learned the extracts

[steady pilot]

i keep telling you guys to lock the discord to one channel and have the channel refer to modmail if it doesnt work

[tender kernel]

Maybe on this map?

[bold kernel]

lol

[open basin]

it's number 14

[vernal anchor]

We're working on a solution delta

[tender kernel]

Ok Im close

to it

[steady pilot]

[visual owl]

I went through Setup and Rules but I still don't see the LFG channel

[grand elm]

exit 14

@tender kernel

you will in 5 seconds.

@visual owl

nvm mako slow

[tender kernel]

Nice thanks ❤️

[steady pilot]

@visual owl just message mod mail

[visual owl]

Ok

[vernal anchor]

You could just ping me

I fixed it

[visual owl]

Rip sent in a message

Ty for the fix

[vernal anchor]

No worries

[tender kernel]

Ok this game is bullshit no cap

[vernal anchor]

This is beginners-assistance

[tender kernel]

I was 1m from a guy. And I shot him with shotgun into his head. Btw he had no helmet. He didn't die.

[steady pilot]

then you didnt hit his head

also shotguns suck

[tender kernel]

But atleast it should work on someone that has no helmet

[steady pilot]

i believe 3-4 pellets have to hit

to kill.

[grand elm]

Shotguns dont suck, birdshot sucks

[steady pilot]

its buckshot

but yeah

[bold kernel]

Buckshot doesn't suck against someone with no armor

[grand elm]

Lol, ya thats what the game calls it.

[bold kernel]

lol

oh what

kek

[steady pilot]

shotguns are useless and you cant change my mind

[bold kernel]

I'm going to kill you with my m870

[grand elm]

Coming from the guy who likes using a vepr with 80 recoil

[bold kernel]

where do you live?

[grand elm]

mp-153 is just fine with slugs. If I can kill all of reshala and his gang with 7 rounds, theyre fine.

Maybe YOU just suck with shotguns? LOL

[steady pilot]

no

[bold kernel]

lmao

[waxen forge]

Shotgun use is doing the damn shotgun tasks

[steady pilot]

they are literally not reliable

[grand elm]

LOL, if you say so

[steady pilot]

you can kill with anything in the game

they just arent reliable

same with pistols

[warped epoch]

how does tarkov decide who to give the bought item in the flea market

[grand elm]

Not sure how that even makes sense, but okay. Lol, your opinions trump everything. My b

[steady pilot]

Not really opinion so much as it's fact. It's a general consensus

the way armor is featured in this game makes shotguns and anything 9mm and lower useless (aside from 9x39)

[tender kernel]

This was the situation

[bold kernel]

Great drawing

[grand elm]

Wheres the poll at? Pretty weird how shotguns are shit but several big streamers use Saigas and they would probably destroy you any day

JS

[bold kernel]

10/10

[steady pilot]

lmao

[warped epoch]

How does the game decide who to give the item in flea market when everyone is spamming purchase

before it's available

[frosty plinth]

the guy with the better script

[fallen crane]

whoevers first

[steady pilot]

i never said they were completely shit, just said unreliable which makes them useless.

[grand elm]

The bots always win, cat

[warped epoch]

:(

[steady pilot]

training yourself to hit legs is a meme

btw

[rain oar]

I mean.. it works on Killa

[steady pilot]

who said it doesnt work?

[rain oar]

Never said that it doesn't work

[tender kernel]

From this point on I hate shotguns.

[steady pilot]

the moment i surprised someone 2M away and dumped 5-6 roundsinto chest is when i never gave a fuck again.

idc what armor you have irl, you sshould be dead.

[tender kernel]

I had some fat loot on me

[steady pilot]

if they gave shotguns a knock back feature or soemthing

[tender kernel]

(for me)

[steady pilot]

it might be useful

[tender kernel]

Or something called damage

[steady pilot]

@modest dust yes unlock the lvl 1 workshop and use the Edit Preset to learn what mods a gun takes

[tender kernel]

and penetration through skin

[steady pilot]

you will have to examine stuff on market to see everything

an example of edit preset

[bold kernel]

Very cool bro!

[tender kernel]

Btw why everyone hates on mosin

[bold kernel]

Nice gun!

[tender kernel]

I think it's dope

[bold kernel]

No one hates on Mosin

[steady pilot]

mosin was fine till its stats were nerfed to ground

[bold kernel]

Mosin hates on them

[tender kernel]

I fricking love that gun.

[steady pilot]

people said mosin op when its the round

[tender kernel]

It melts people

[rain oar]

Mosin still good tho 🤔

[steady pilot]

all 54R rifles are good because of 7n1

[bold kernel]

Garbage rod is all you need

[spring carbon]

i use mosin on interchange and i jsut bring the mosin and nothing else

[tender kernel]

I don't really know much about the ammo. So yeah

i said this

ree

[vernal anchor]

Its gets outclassed by every other 54r gun

[tender kernel]

But for a new starting player like me it's preety good

[steady pilot]

sv98 is cheaper than mosin sniper btw

[bold kernel]

That's crazy bro

[steady pilot]

(cause people are silly and think mosin itself is op)

[tender kernel]

Btw Is there a chocolate in this game called alyonka?

[vernal anchor]

Mosin propaganda

[tender kernel]

That chocolate is delicious

[open basin]

okay guys

is the sv-98 green, blue, or teal

[tender kernel]

I would ship one to you right now

[steady pilot]

turquoise

[open basin]

or that

[steady pilot]

it's definitely green

[tender kernel]

green

[worn blade]

Is there a way to get a bigger stash and pouch size other than buying the more expensive versions of the game?

[tender kernel]

Nowhere close to turquoise

Yeah in hideout

[vernal anchor]

You can upgrade your stash in the hideout

[steady pilot]

and do prapor questline

for container

[worn blade]

ok awesome, thanks!

[steady pilot]

gotta spend 3mil

to upgrade lvl 2 stash

[worn blade]

ok

[steady pilot]

good luck

[worn blade]

ty

[tender kernel]

Btw I need to get higher level. I play this game for 2 days and I am still lvl 4

[steady pilot]

you get vll 3 just from examining

[tender kernel]

I already did that

I need to try to play with someone

[steady pilot]

there is #pvp-lfg

or try and run with a sherpa

#sherpa-info

[tender kernel]

But I think I would just get him killed.

[steady pilot]

i mean

if you have a listening problem

then sure

[tender kernel]

Nah I am just bad in this game.

And everyone takes this game too seriously

[steady pilot]

cause it's "hardcore" and you can lose hard earned shit

it's not a casual kiddie cod game lol

[tender kernel]

Yeah I get it

[vernal anchor]

Sherpas dont really care about getting killed

[steady pilot]

^

They hold their own anyway, they are experienced people.

[shy parcel]

I don't see #pvp-lfg - nvm, now I do 🙂

[tender kernel]

I thought it would be similar to rust. And then I played it

[grand elm]

Some way more opinionated than others, of course.

[long spear]

rust is more hardcore than this i would say...

[grand elm]

Lol rust is trash

[bold anchor]

damn starting this game now is brutal

[steady pilot]

@shy parcel you can now

[shy parcel]

Yep got it now, thanks

[bold anchor]

customs is just groups of 2 sniping

[grand elm]

Lol no it isnt

[steady pilot]

thats woods

lol

[grand elm]

If anything, its solos sniping full teams on customs

[bold anchor]

yeah idk guess i just have bad luck

[grand elm]

Its how the game goes man, just gotta hang in there

You should be aware of your surroundings at all times.

[tender kernel]

I think rust isn't shit. But it's completely different

[bold anchor]

lost most of my money gettin 15 scav kills on woods

[tender kernel]

It's a good game. But if you wan't to have fun you need to get a group

[steady pilot]

[tender kernel]

Ok daddy

Gotta go to sleep

Good night and have fun with no lifing this game

[steady pilot]

[eager spoke]

hi im new

what are the best guides to watch/read

[bold anchor]

what map do you suggest learning first already know most of customs extracts

[steady pilot]

I dont even know if i can recommend interchange anymore

lmao

interchange is a money map, but you'd have to avoid the center mall

[eager spoke]

and what are extracts and how do you extract i don't understand. i just run around the map find nothing kill a few enemies and die

i have found like a checkpoint once but it said u needed a scav to enter

[steady pilot]

@eager spoke look up a pestily/deadlyslob beginner guide on youtube it will teach you fundamentals. Also go to offline mode, pull up a WIKI map, and try to find them

Some extracts are conditional

[eager spoke]

i did go offline mode

like 5 times

[steady pilot]

did you pull a wiki map?

[eager spoke]

didnt accomplish nothing

well i did use one before

[steady pilot]

i didnt say JUST offline

listen

[eager spoke]

but i dont know my direction

[steady pilot]

!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.

[steady pilot]

pull up a map from the wiki, look for the permeanent extracts

its either ZB or crossroads/trailer park

depending where you spawn

[eager spoke]

i tried some scav runs too

[steady pilot]

scav runs has seperate extracts

[eager spoke]

someone insta headshot me lol

idk if it was a player or ai

oh

where are those

[steady pilot]

the wiki map

tells you

you have the wiki and youtube and offline mode, all tools you can utilize to help you figure it out. You can opt to request a sherpa to come guide you through maps. Visit #sherpa-info to learn about them

[edgy blade]

What time does night really start/end at?

Dark enough hours for nvgs

[steady pilot]

20:00 or 21:00 ish

5:00 is dawnish

[civic stump]

Hey, I'm looking to learn EFT, but all my friends are new to the game. If anyone is up for playing a few rounds, add me on discord.

[edgy blade]

Ty

[wispy void]

anyone usec doing the stirrup quest?

[steady pilot]

#pvp-lfg

[prime ermine]

almost back up to 1m

for like the 100th time

aww ye

[flat ruin]

Anyone mind helping doing the godawful "delivery from the past" quest, i'll gladly help you do whatever.

[steady pilot]

You can request a sherpa for quest help or #pvp-lfg

@vernal anchor can you unlock his discord

[idle bluff]

Yeet

[wispy void]

@flat ruin best option would be to do a five man on factory and tell them you need to do that and do it from the start

[split vapor]

f r e n k

[flat ruin]

Alright thanks for the advice

[steady pilot]

@idle bluff we doing more bull shit quests soonTM?

[idle bluff]

I can’t play tonight

Hell

[steady pilot]

oof

[idle bluff]

I can’t play evenings this week, only afternoons

[steady pilot]

what time are you again

[acoustic timber]

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPEND TO THE GOD DAMN VALADY!!

[steady pilot]

?

who uses valday

[acoustic timber]

i do

its like 65k

and some person manipulated the flea bs ammo

[steady pilot]

not worth

[acoustic timber]

its like 700 a peice now

used to be 500

[paper tulip]

Is adding a dot to your screen considered cheating? Ive seen a bunch of streamers who are clearly using middle screen dots to hipfire...

[acoustic timber]

it doesnt even line up

so i suppose not

[paper tulip]

An adjustable one can

Which most of them are

[vernal anchor]

Its possible that the people with 1000's of hours are just good at point firing

[bold kernel]

Wrong, everyone bad

[paper tulip]

Sure. At targets that far away. No

[vernal anchor]

Tarkov makes it pretty easy

And with practice its no problem

[bold kernel]

Also, lasers

[paper tulip]

Yeah lazers are fine since they give your position away

[acoustic timber]

i mean some streams put a thing where it zooms onto ur crossair

so the viewers can see

[paper tulip]

And they can see it?

[waxen forge]

None of the "big" tarkov streamers are using a monitor dot.

[acoustic timber]

i dont think they do

because its a stream overlay

[waxen forge]

Is experience. Skill.

[acoustic timber]

or something

[wispy void]

anyone working on stirrup quest from skier?

[waxen forge]

I always do it on Factory with the apb. Shoot and move. No looting. Just killing.

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Silenced_Stechkin_Automatic_Pistol_9x18PM

[broken briar]

im on scav found a labs test key is it good?

oh ok thanks

[waxen forge]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Lab._key._Testing_area_(weap.)

That one

[rapid mica]

Where is the pumping station on factory?

[waxen forge]

It's a locked room on the main floor

You won't find gas analyzers there though...at least not reliably.

[grave helm]

@rapid mica youtube is prob the best choice if u are doing a quest

[waxen forge]

Go to Interchange

Wiki

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Sanitary_Standards_-_Part_1

[dense fjord]

If I understand correctly do I just ask here if someone wants to play some? 🤔

[vernal anchor]

#pvp-lfg

[grave helm]

no @dense fjord #521628660298678283 #news-setup

[dense fjord]

even if im a pleb tho? cuz honestly im garbage at this game 😂

[waxen forge]

Everyone gets destroyed when they start.

It's tarkov.

[grave helm]

^ so true

[acoustic timber]

how much is fire steel

[grave helm]

Old firesteel?

39k

its also needed for a quest

[bold kernel]

Is there a max amount of scavs in a raid? This was in Oli alone

[vernal anchor]

Not really

Interchange has a "feature" which will spawn scavs more often

[daring ember]

Tagged maybe ?

[vernal anchor]

Tagged isnt in normal games

[daring ember]

what is it again ?

[bold kernel]

Had no ammo left and a pmc killed me

[vernal anchor]

Im pretty sure scavs can spawn infinitely

But the raid only lasts so long

[daring ember]

[split vapor]

@brisk mortar i t i s t i m e

[steady pilot]

no

[frozen bone]

what quests can you do as scav? are you only blocked from the ones that require you to kill scavs, or is it most of them?

[steady pilot]

none

[frozen bone]

oh 😦

[steady pilot]

scav is purely seperate

for money/free kit runs

or be an asshole to pmcs

[frozen bone]

so for the skier quest, even if i loot the key, get into the office and extract, it still doesn't count?

[split vapor]

@pastel gulch

[frozen bone]

that sucks

[steady pilot]

not really

pmc is your rpg/quest charachter

[frozen bone]

i get that, but other stuff counts

like finding salewas for therapist, spawning with one as scav counts

[steady pilot]

items that you need find in raid yes. also the salewa quest never specified "IN RAID" so you could of "found" them on the market.

[brisk mortar]

@split vapor

[frozen bone]

wait what

hold up

i can just buy them from market and it counts?

[steady pilot]

if it doesnt say find in RAID

[frozen bone]

no, it just says find 5 salewa kits

[split vapor]

you had enough allotted time

[steady pilot]

exactly....

so you can "find" it anywhere

[frozen bone]

interesting... so for the ones that say specifically find in raid, it won't count for scavs?

[steady pilot]

scavs can find "found in raid" items

[trim herald]

No it counts for scavs

[steady pilot]

as shown by the check mark.

[trim herald]

As long as you find the item in the game world rather than buy it

[rigid crown]

Anyone trying to play?

[steady pilot]

#pvp-lfg

[frozen bone]

damn ok thanks, i think i'll just buy some cheap salewas

[steady pilot]

yep.

[frozen bone]

that wording is so tricky :S

[trim herald]

Do you have access to the flea market?

[steady pilot]

this game is ALL about paying attention

[frozen bone]

i do

[trim herald]

Put a split up as a barter for 5x Salewas and I'll buy it

[frozen bone]

what's a split up?

[trim herald]

splint

[frozen bone]

really? 😮

thanks man

[steady pilot]

basically you offer a splint and request salewas a trade requirement

[frozen bone]

ok added

[trim herald]

There you go bud

[frozen bone]

you are the best man :')

[trim herald]

No worries

Oh pro tip btw, any barters on the Flea market are scams

So don't ever buy one

[grave helm]

wym by scam lol

[unique wolf]

means it would be more efficient to sell what they're asking for and outright buy what they're looking for

[steady pilot]

@grave helm literally a scam

[trim herald]

You heard of those Nigerian princes?

It's like that

[steady pilot]

as in the trade isnt worth it

by no degree

[frozen bone]

oh yeah, i usually check the prices of the barter items first and stuff to make sure i don't get scammed

[trim herald]

The items they ask for at worth AT LEAST twice as much, usually around 5-10x the cost of the item

Good man, it's an easy mistake to make

[grave helm]

ah shit okay, good to know

thx guys

[frozen bone]

and while i was looking for used salewas to hand in, i saw people having like 10/400 ones selling for like 200 less than full 400's

🤮

and the worst part is, they were selling too

[trim herald]

Huh, so you can straight up make money through the hideout now

[vernal anchor]

Kinda

[trim herald]

2x AI2 turns into a Salewa, 2x AI2 are 6.6k, a Salewa is 8.8k to Therapist

I mean it's only 2k but still

[unique wolf]

yeah there's some profitable crafts

but the margin's aren't that insane, or else everybody would be doing it to make money

[mild forum]

\

[trim herald]

I mean if you're poor, any margin is better than none

[unique wolf]

For sure

[wind drum]

Hey. Im doing the "Chumming" quest. Where i need to kill PMC's between 23:00 and 10:00 in interchange. Have done a few raids now between these times, the dog tag even says the time is correct. But im not getting progress.

[trim herald]

Did you enter the raid between those times? Or just before 23?

As I think it counts it based on the time you enter the raid

[wind drum]

hmm, could be if that is the case

Actually I tried both

i think. now im not sure :p

[brazen owl]

I got kills on that quest, they counted when i joined the raid between 23-10 hours, not when i waited from 22 to 23

[wind drum]

yeah that worked

[final epoch]

When i'm playing scav if I kill a scav do only the scav that saw me turn against me, or am I kos by scav for the rest of the match?

[glass cloud]

The moment you shoot a scav as a scav, every scav is now hostile

[final epoch]

Oh

Is it a bad idea then?

Should I just try to loot?

[glass cloud]

And raider scavs are hostile to everyone to begin with

Uhh

Depends

[final epoch]

How do you know which are which?

[glass cloud]

Raiders are near bosses and are geared quite nicely

His bodyguards essentially

[trim herald]

That's not true, it's only the scavs in the surroundings of where you shot the first scav

So if you travel across half the map the scavs there generally are not aggressive

I wouldn't take it for granted though, as it's hard to tell where the line is drawn

[glass cloud]

Which is why I just kill all or breeze through

As far as I know nobody knows a clear range

[safe shore]

Is there any need for me to keep 7 bottles of moonshine, the Jason mask or Mosin Obrez?

[sacred grotto]

any beginner want to do a scav run?

[stone surge]

@safe shore Moonshine is for the scav case.

they're around 100k now due to the drops.

pretty sure price will gradually go up to 200k again

[open basin]

save the moonshine for when it goes up

profit

l8r

[stone surge]

because the moonshine cases are really profitable right now.

[open basin]

ezpz

[quaint thorn]

Spaceman, Im down if you are

[safe shore]

Where do I get that at @veyx

[stone surge]

Hideout

unlocks scav case

you have to pay moonshine and after 4hours you get random loot

could be anything from garbage up to red keycard

but in my experience it's always 100k+

[trim herald]

@stone surge I doubt they'll go up to much more than 150k or so, as they were at that price before the twitch drops. They dropped heavily when they removed the moonshine for T H I C C case trade

[stone surge]

they were 200-240k

before trhe drops

[safe shore]

Bruh, I'm an idiot because I only see this for scav case in hideout

[trim herald]

Not after the patch though, @stone surge. Before the patch yes, between patch and twitch drops no, around 160k

Yes, once you build it you then pay scavs to find treasure for you @safe shore

[stone surge]

Idk I always sold them for 220k each

last week

[trim herald]

Last week was also before the patch

[stone surge]

ah you mean the .12.2 patch

ye that could be then

[trim herald]

Yeah, when they removed the T H I C C case trade

[stone surge]

i mean 150k and 80k

is still quite a massive drop

[trim herald]

Water filters have also dropped from 80-90k to 50-60k

[keen vapor]

Anyone know what the best smg ammo is?

[trim herald]

For which SMG?

[keen vapor]

PP-19-01 Zenit

[stone surge]

AP 6.3

it's not that great though

[trim herald]

^

[stone surge]

for the price it is at

[safe shore]

What about the Book?

[keen vapor]

whats the most powerfull for smg

[stone surge]

LOL ap 6.3 cost 650-700 on flea right now

[trim herald]

MP7, AP SX ammo

[stone surge]

@keen vapor you need to be more specific in which caliber you refer to

not all smgs or AR's use the same caliber ammo

[trim herald]

Or P90 L191 ammo

[stone surge]

but Mp7 AP SX ammo

is the strongest combo for smg's

and AP SX cost same as 6.3

[keen vapor]

9x19PARA

[stone surge]

so imo there's not even a single reason to go for 6.3 atm

[trim herald]

Memeing with the MP9-N

😄

[keen vapor]

the 6.3,AP and the SX is the most powerfull ammo for the 9x19PARA caliber PP-19-01 Zenit?

[stone surge]

no

6.3 is 9x19 and only works for 9x19 guns

AP SX is for the MP7

they're both SMG's, just not the same caliber.

so if you want to roll with the pp-19, you take 6.3 ammo

I just mentioned that 6.3 ammo is overpriced, so you might wanna change guns (play mp7 instead if you want a SMG)

[cloud crest]

I saw on youtube people use saleva and ifaks mid fight without animation. Can you still do that or this is not a thing anymore?

[stone surge]

6.3 isn't in a good state right now (although the best ammo for 9x19)

[trim herald]

@cloud crest Can't do that anymore

Game is way better since animations were introduced

[stone surge]

healing while fighting was stupid

[cloud crest]

thanks 🙂 yeah I think that was stupid

[ember oak]

if i offline on labs do i keep my keycard?

[grave helm]

yes

[fallen crane]

is skill exhaustion strictly within raids?

or will i be exhausted in the 2nd raid

[final epoch]

Anyone want to play with me? I'm new

[fallen crane]

#pvp-lfg @final epoch

[acoustic timber]

softshell and black lynx switched

: |

only if usec can get a black coat it would be so sick!1

[keen vapor]

Do you get stuff for linking your twitch?

[grand elm]

Yes

There are random drops, @keen vapor

www.escapefromtarkov.com/profile

link it there

[grave helm]

how do you guys lvl Ragman? that bitch doesn't need anything I got in my stash to sell

[vernal anchor]

Buying and selling

[grave helm]

I thought about buying the Green Armband and then resell it for him

but that would take ages

[steady pilot]

it doesnt matter

what you buy and sell

[fluid path]

buying 10 helmets and selling them back at a time

[steady pilot]

its like 1/3 loss

[fluid path]

if you have the cash and need him leveled, you can rinse and repeat really quickly

otherwise youd have to sell him random valuables, tags, armor, rigs which would take a while

[grave helm]

AS of right now I would need to spend 1,3m rubel to get him to Loyal lvl 2

[steady pilot]

and

[grave helm]

I would rather put that money into my hideout

[steady pilot]

if you bought and sold shit

youd have 1.1m ish left over

maybe 1m

[grand elm]

@grave helm hideout isnt the first thing id be spending money on

[grave helm]

@grand elm I already got most of the containers other then S I C C and T H I C C ones

[fluid path]

also remember, buying something for $100 and selling it back for $70 counts as $170 total sold

you get credit for buys/sells

[grand elm]

Gotcha, well id make sure your monetary requirements are fulfilled for traders before hideout

So when you hit the level you need you get the upgrade for LL

[steady pilot]

as ive said, its like 1/3 loss to buy and sell something bac

[stone surge]

@grave helm just buy caps/rigs

and resell it to him

if you are really tight on money, you'd have to do some research which you can buy/sell for best ratio

doesn't cost more than 300k per 1mill rep

[grave helm]

@stone surge Yeah I did that just now, I just bought the helmets till they were sold out and then headphones

btw thanks guy

[fallen ingot]

Hello! I’m on the Singapore server and desperately needing some help

Anyone willing to coach me?

[grave helm]

What kind of help do you seek

[fallen ingot]

I need a better general understanding of the game, I’ve learned customs and factory but can’t get through customs, and factory I can if I’m lucky

I seem to be going down like a ton of bricks while I’m firing nerf bullets at my enemies 😂

[stone surge]

those 2 maps are the worst for looting experience.

[grave helm]

^

[stone surge]

you generally won't find much valueable stuff or die if you even find it

Try shoreline or interchange and see how that works out for you

which you enjoy more.

reserve is also an option, but it's one of the harder maps.

[fallen ingot]

would anyone be available to help me learn those maps?

[next vessel]

should I use ADAR or should I put all of these mods to M4A1?

[fallen crane]

do the stuff in #news-setup and #521628660298678283 then you are able to access the lfg channel @fallen ingot

[long spear]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics @fallen ingot use this to find your nerf bullets

[steady pilot]

@next vessel the m4 is the same as adar except 15k more for the receiver to have full auto

nothing wrong with single fire

[fallen ingot]

again just emptied an entire clip of ak into a scav who didnt even flintch, then was promptly killed in one shot. gg

[next vessel]

ok

[acoustic timber]

whats the lowest

u can get on a ak-74n

[grave helm]

anyone down to let me kill them for the [Stirrup] Task? I will give u 20k Rubel D:

[acoustic timber]

wont work

[grave helm]

Ah sadly

[copper lava]

@fallen ingot I'm not a "good" player but I have like 40% Sr on interchange and shoreline. Try night raids with a good kit and nvg.

[long spear]

thats not really a good idea for a new player, better to learn during the day with a cheap kit

[fallen ingot]

@copper lava I’ve tried a night raid a few times as a scav but it was pitch black for me, I actually thought the game was glitched, couldn’t see a think then bam killed lol

[copper lava]

And use the sa58 w/ m80 or the meme m700 with a relex.

[long spear]

a cheap kit with effective ammo, ammo is whats important i liinked him the chart so hopefully he can draw from that

[copper lava]

I regularly kill people with that stuff

[fallen ingot]

@long spear thank you, I took a quick glance but will study it when I’m back from lunch 🍴

[copper lava]

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

[long spear]

you can literally empty a whole mag of bad ammo into a relatively cheap armor and not do any damage to their health

[copper lava]

Nofoodafter midnight has a good chart too

[split vapor]

@errant solstice hey man gg

[fallen ingot]

Unfortunately it seems most of the good ammo isn’t available to me, I don’t have flea market unlocked yet

[long spear]

@fallen ingot you can just run an sks with ps ammo, both bought from prapor

thats probably your best bet until 5

[fallen ingot]

Thank you for the advice, I’ll check them out, I have 250k ish money now, so if I’m going to cash out on those items I’d be sad if I got rekt in one shot as per standard

[long spear]

well sks with ps ammo you can one shot the majority of people in the head

or in the face at least

[fallen ingot]

I’m on Singapore time so it’s 12:13 pm for me, would you be able to give me a hand when I’m back from lunch? @long spear

[long spear]

im heading to bed soon its 11 at night here

[fallen ingot]

Gotcha, one last question, is it possible to purchase gear from PayPal? Or no

There’s no trade system in place?

[long spear]

i think real money trading is against terms of service

but i know there are websites that do it

not 100% sure

[fallen ingot]

Gotcha

[fathom narwhal]

did you guys do fishing gear at night?

[gleaming osprey]

I need help unlocking Jager.. anyone able to help?

[grand crow]

@fallen ingot hey man I’m on Singaporean time as well maybe we could do a raid tgt some time soon

[amber saffron]

I could help, I need to do it as well @gleaming osprey

[fallen ingot]

@grand crow great!!! I’ll add you!

[gleaming osprey]

@amber saffron do you know where to go?

[amber saffron]

Yeah in woods

[gleaming osprey]

Ive only run woods 2 - 3 times, still never made it out

[amber saffron]

Do you have the task unlocked?

[gleaming osprey]

yeah

[amber saffron]

It’s under jaegers hut

I’m level 8, I need to get to level 10 first because of my account reset

[gleaming osprey]

dont know where it is, tried doing a youtube video but hard to get bearings
