what ?
They have extended areas
there is Military Base CP exit on custom
I think 75k for a non modded weapon is overkill
still hard to understand what are you saying 
With my current kit atleast
Military Base CP is in custom for long time ago
Clase
But it isnt listed as an exit on most of the maps I can find
75% of my kit should be my gun's budget?
Sounds excessive
A good gun is everything
oh you mean on website ?
yes
Uhhh
dont say most map
Buy whatever
Most maps I could find online
Just get your vertical recoil
i thought you said other map 
Got it
Down to under 60
So did the maps change at all at some point?
and get your ergo above like 70
If so I can barely find ANY maps online that are updated
@rocky crater https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3eKN99KYDQ
This video was first uploaded when the expansion first came out. Shack has now become Military Base CP. Sorry for any confusion.
dere have fun 
Use the wiki maps
ye I know where they are now
I'm just wondering if the maps in-game were ever updated
and also
@faint violet Could you recommend specific mods?
I thought I did
Uhhhhh
no
Ill check it out
pretty sure you didnt lol
Ooooooh ok
Iโm in bed tho
I didnt look very well lol
Ok so did the maps get an update at some point?
Because alot of other sources have a pretty different map
@mighty jasper I donโt have it sorry dude
I'm just wondering as I'm new and was confused by different maps
Wiki maps are accurate
ok
So I have another question that has bamboozled the heck out of me
Does Interchange have separate exits fro Scavs and PMCs?
I think
Both get emercom and power station iirc
I think thereโs a scav extract
Idk man wiki it
Because even the Wiki map only lists pmc exits
And I have died multiple times because of it
Then thatโs all there is
Yep
Interchange has 3 exits, scavs can use 2
@rocky crater i can tell you every exit if you need
On Interchange?
oh erm on interchange 2 of em yes
Sure
hey guys. Returning player here, i only did played 0.12 the first few weeks of release and haven't put much toughts into the hideout.
i am more interested in the passive things from the hideout (e.g. skills leveling and money making like bitcoins)
i wonder if theres a guide which summarizes which modules do what
so i can find out the "must haves" for me
@fathom dirge to access the passive moneymaking things you need to upgrade soooo much other shit first. Check out pestily's youtube channel for the full hideout tour
okay, then lets put this aside
are there passivle skill leveling modules?
they are more important for me. Money isn't a problem
like levelling up endurance etc?
Hideout may refer to:
i think you can only increase the rate that skills level up
not actually level them up
that's not the correct hideout
hahahah im dumb
i see
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Character_skills this does show them @fathom dirge
๐
air filtering unit sounds nice
write in support chat
what do i sell to skier to level him up...
i wanna buy and sell...
oh right
not sure what is the best but try some stuff and see what has the best return
thx anatoly
@fathom dirge You need generator level 3 for air filtering I think
SIGH
dEPOT Harmetic door for Scavs always open, or the siren needs to be happening? Currently in raid
So when the wipe happens what will wipe? And does having EOD re-give you the benefits that it does atm
you reset to the start
everything fresh
if you have EOD, you get your EOD stuff like you just played for the first time
I'm sure I heard something about keeping stats or level is that true?
everything
is shooting range working properly or aiming is not working properly in general?
Do you know if there is going to be regular wipes or is that the last wipe?
I had trouble in the range earlier today. It was bugged. Wouldnโt take the gun out or put it back down
@hearty sky I was on a few hours ago and it was fine
I could check if you want would need to boot up pc
the crosshair and he target does not hit the same spot, it goes way bellow
Yeah, I noticed that, it's because its zero at 50 metres min
I if you hot the middle target it should be accurate
If you hit*
got it. tnx
biggest chest rig for storing shit in your stash ?
Against players, you need armour 4 at least right?
Could someone join me to do duos? I'm quite new to the game and just looking for someone to play with
@maiden crater Generally speakin, yeah
Armor class 3 can suffice most often than not, it wont
Looking forward to being able to buy that then ^^
Usually get killed by being hit in the thorax or seems.
Nothing, only have access to paca.
do I waste the keycard going into labs, and if not if I die do I keep it for another run if its in my alpha container?
@willow valley if you feel like your chance of success is small you should sell the keycard on the flea market for 180k
It isnt that, I'm just wondering if its reusable
nope
Hey everyone, if i take a quest item and extract and then forget to transfer it to Quest item special stash(off-raid) and then i go to a new raid and die, do i loose it?
would you say that level 5 armour is enough to go into labs?
If you're bleeding and you run, will it make it worse?
all the streamers i see that goes to labs take lvl 5 minimum 
From what I've heard, yea. @maiden crater
But wouldn't take my word for it honestly, don't even have the game yet. ๐
How hard is it to get a sherpa to coach?
Yes! Made it out of a raid with actual loot! :D
Congrats. Hoping I can say the same sometime soon. ๐
Just cant buy ammo for any of the guns I found yet :p
Locked?
Yeah ^^
would not go any lower than level 4 armour
ragman level 2 sells a nice chest rig / armour in one
Flea market is good
@sharp bough Agreed, I found level 3 armor of little use
Good for buying ammo*
A lot pricier but its a price one has to make sometimes
Yeah level 3 armor only helps against a few scavs
paca and such, its fine if your a good shot and can take scavs down quickly with thorax / stomach / head shots
otherwise its useless against PMC
Gotta get to level 5 then!
Oh yeah it's only scav safety
i have destroyed level 5 players , just the ammo you use it super important
you can outplay a pmc with movement and map awareness. so you shouldnt need to have a straight firefight always
Last time I played there were only three types of armour, so it's a whole new game for me ^^
๐
Yeah still need to work on movement...a guy that shot me wrote to me, saying he could hear me walking around in a house on shoreline all the way at the gas station...had no idea.
do scavs and pmc extract same spot
some places
can someone explain me this. i am going in full best gear. level 6 armor, both helm and body. how can scav with normal ammo can trash me but when i try do same thing to player, i dont even touch him?
@rocky trellis being in gear helps you when you fuck up
shoot ya in the arms and legs
but i have damaged body and head. without even taking one point of armor's durability ๐ฎ
@rocky trellis so damage to already black limbs bleeds damage into other body parts
If you wear class 6 armour and I stand next to you and full auto your leg, you'll eventually die from the cumulative dame
#killastrat
ah. ok. thanks. now i need explanation why i can't do same to player with armor
they had normal
use that
@rocky trellis you can
aim for bullets with pen 5+ for pvp focus
normal red shotgun shells
3-4 for pve/pvp
@rocky trellis they're more likely to kill you faster, you might be missing their legs with a lot of pellets from your shells etc
Tbh, when using a shotgun, you shouldn't be trying to kill any players who may be even slightly geared with anything other than flechette rounds
Even the ap slugs aren't great
But the flechette does a lot of armour damage
I've headshotted scavs with shotguns and they turned around and smacked me
I learned to not trust in shotguns much
problem with factory, full gears come to spawn point. heh. this time i have basic m4a1 but with best ammo. full gear in trash. poor dude ๐
153 is good shotgun
only one i kinda trust. all others are trash
@rocky trellis you sleeping on the saiga? :P
how do you unbind a key in controls?
anyway what do you recommend as budget gun. except hunter. this one isnt good for short range. or least i am crap with this weapon
hey guys, any suggestions on basic lodout ? like a really basic one, just started, lost my gun and want to make some money before i lose everything
you can have good ak with that budget
not sure you guys talking to me ?
a bit of both lol
just buy a hunter @void trellis
https://gyazo.com/faedb637980061f5b52cee9a94e0a9c5 Heres the build btw
that ak is like
and should i insure those whenever i go out ?
close to best in slot attachments
insure all the time
i click insure all whenever i go into a raid
i play customs only for the time
really ? i heard its the b est one to start
it has the most early game quest
i think shoreline would be easier to get acclimated to the game
or pve
what map you want to play with cheap build? open or close?
Interchange has tons of sweaty boys on it atm
shoreline does aswell
well i play Customs and its very open, so i think i will just beuild that AK, hunter you called it ?
yeah but they all go to resort
i love my factory. best map for begginers ๐
shoreline can be sweaty though if you go to the wings
people doing shoot born in heaven or just loot running
^
you have lot's of places to hide
Thats what I did my first few days too
you can def get sniped if you go through rock passage
and should i buy some helm, armor as well ?
What level are you @void trellis
lvl 3 man
yup. helm from peacekeeper and and green uley
welcome to the game ^_^
thanks mate ! loving it so far, even when i die all the time ๐
buy the penis helm from ragman its the best budget helmet
i die a lot and i am 28. still noob as fuck who can die even on axeman
27 can confirm, death happens
SSh-68
ah soviet army helm ๐
is there anything I can do to improve sound? in particular footsteps? or are they just really quiet
there have been several instances where someone literally walked right up to me and shot me and I couldnt even hear the faintest of sounds
havent had this issue in any other fps
i like customs it's the 2nd easiest map to learn the first being factory
you can get in game headsets they will help improve your hearing
is it related to perception being level 0?
whatever one says it improves your hearing does so on top of the headsets i believe
Get some gsshs or something
Just started playing yesterday with a friend and got hopelessly nowhere. Hoping to find someone who can help a poor little noob haha :)
Getting rekt at the beginning is typical Tarkov
#521628660298678283 So you can see all of Discord
Then #sherpa-info For information about getting a Sherpa
Or #pvp-lfg just to team up
I already read those. It said to come here to find a sherpa :)
Did you check the box in rules? If so the Bot is slow.
#sherpa-info Shows how to get a Sherpa
Yup ill wait here for my knight and shining armour
why i was told that snb is bad? it has good stats ๐ฎ
Because itโs trash
Wonโt drop a dude with one hit to chest unless you get the super rare frag chance
7n1 will if it pens
you are comparing bolt action round to ak round bud
oh my bad
thought he meant igolnik
worth keeping christmas tree decorations? are we gonna be able to sell them on the flea market?
okay so ive done whats required, how do I upgrade my loyalty level?
It's a bug
ah
I see
you can still see level 2 tab
restart game/ go into raid
BP<BT<BS
Thanks
need to farm money now that i lost all my kits at woods lol
where to go at reserve? the pesti spot looks nerfed
@sand kindle for money I recommend pistol running interchange outskirts with an MBSS and low-tier rig
Whatโs a good full auto gun for beginners? Cheap and fairly good against PMCs?
Does the scav case in the hideout need upgrading or is it maxed out on lvl 1 ?
Hey anyone got a good video for beginners?
@amber saffron AK-74m with a foregrip, a sight and a recoil pad

MarkstromTV presents episode one of a new player walkthrough providing an intro and game setup for Escape From Tarkov featuring CDNThe3rd.
These stream highlights of Markstrom and Ceez take place on the on the newest eft update, tarkov 11.7.
Be sure to subscribe to Markst...
thank you
@bold kernel thanks, what foregrip, sight and recoil pad would you recommend?
Good gun is the one using good ammo...so don't cheap out on ammo
Depends on how much money you have, but you can get away with any foregrip really. The KAC vertical pistol grip is cheap and decent, if you've a bit more money you can look into the ZENIT series of foregrips, zenit RK-1 is really, really good. Sight is personal preference, I recommend trying a couple out and seeing which one you like best. I personally love the BELOMO pk-06. And as for the recoil pad you've only got 1 option and that's the "recoil pad from gp-25.."
thank you!
No problemo, good luck!
appreciate it
Oh and try to build a workbench in your hideout ASAP. Once you've built one you can right click weapons in your stash and press "edit presets" from there you'll be able to see every modification you can do on any gun
yeah i did that
Examine all weapons and weapon parts on Flea so Edit preset will work to it's full ability
anyone have idea is 9mm ap ammo good against helmet visors?
Compared to all other ammo or compared to other 9mm ammo?
i mean mostly can it go through?
How do I get the most out of my BTC?
So no trades are worth it?
also thanks hypo, i dont think other 9mm ammo can go through visors that good as ap ammo does
Okey ty ๐
cheap tactical rig? just need it to hold 1x2 ammo
^
thanks
Need Jaeger for scav vest so SOE best option without for "cheap"
Consider buying 6B5-15 Zh though. Tier 4 armor and rig in 1, for really cheap
Maybe in #pvp-lfg, you need to get a role in #news-setup first though I believe
#sherpa-info For Sherpa link
@waxen forge thanks, i unlocked Jaeger about 2 hours ago
if i top load does it still give sniping exp
yeah
time to get sks and go into a corner of the map
lmao
how do i constantly top load mosin
Press r
wait a sec im antibrain
Constantly
@bold kernel thanks so much for mentioning the 6B5 man
you cant cheese it anymore tho @broken briar
ive been spending like 30k+ on level 2 armour and losing it every game
oki
you could test it and go reload mosin until u stop getting points
then go play 1 raid normally and it will probably reset
i dont know numbers so do expect anything
wdym
like locked doors
oh no lol
ssh
but it says on hatchet that it can open doors?
oh well that was wasted money then
tomahawk for 9k ruples so not that bad lol
oh
katt one
yeah
i got this "status effect" for leaving raid too fast. i cant find it though hmm
never got it b4
it doesnt have visor
and i dont run visors anyway
hate the way it makes my game look so id rather not use it
used to spam mosin, with some mods on it, had lots of fun with it
trying to do the kill 15 scavs @ woods ive lost like 6 or 7 kits about 350k lol
started running mosin for jaeger quests
now i stopped got bored of it
early game i was playing sks mostly for AR skill
@sand kindle im doing that as well
mostly to geared af players
im using hunter with m80
if you are using sniper just get paca and shemagh
dont need armor if you dont cqb am i right
im going in one with ak74n and bp
hopefully ill do better
have to get 8 more scavs
go pistol
was insanely fun
Just use a veprkm. Its 9-15k on market
irons on mosin are good for close or long range
For budget
with irons?
better use mosin to level sniper skill at the same time
since youll need sniper skill level for quest
and has mags
More accessible options. You can use it with irons etc
for the vepr is it vpo-209 or 136
which rounds?
136 is basically an sks in ak platform with better stats and cost
They severely reduced the xp you get from reloading
even more then
is t45m ok?
never heard of that one b4 only know of skill exhaustion
wtf 2 pistol scavs in a row
what is this ๐ฆ
Black polymer from prapor lvl 1, tt01 iron sight, dynacomp compensator. Add gp-25 pad for 4k if you want.
The tt01 is a good iron sight with weaver rail for red dots ifyou want one, and ak100 handguard has a grip slot. You can take as shown and find stuff in raid to upgrade to or put something you like
so helpful dude thanks

haha ill be pissed if i lose this one after all this modding
havent modded a gun before
It's cheap. Typically comes back.
can anyone help me get the letter for jaeger on woods?
@south coral I just did that earlier today
how did u do it? night?
i dont like going in with nothing
And I did it in day
can someone help me i just got out of a raidd with three different keys can someone tell me what they are worth
i guess ill try at night but cant see shit and idk the map
Just avoid any gun fight and donโt run in open areas
@floral fractal name them
keycard is one of them
i sold one for 170k
Thatโs worth a lot, sell if it youโre not gonna use it
from scav run
@south coral would help since i got quest as well but you know i wouldnt trust you since i run thermal
๐ฆ
all from scav run
sixpack junk
u can trust me im not a scumbag
sixpack worthless
HOw's factory been lately? Any chance I'll be able to go in with light-med gear and get my delivery from the past quest done?
probably yeah
Wanna team up?
all sweaty players are on interchange
Sure
sweet
@verbal jay run me thru i wont bring a gun
just grab a pistol ill just ignore m4 quest one
ill get a pistol as well for self defense
how much is rb-bk worth
kinda broke my mic
RB-BK about 80K
Iโll order one soon tho but for now if itโs possible for you to manage, if you canโt itโs alright
@verbal jay voice ?
Let's give it a go
Sure, Iโll dm you in a sec
ok thanks
what the fastest way to level up im at level 4 and i have been trying forever to get to level 5 for the market
Need to be focusing on extracting and surviving
Killing Raiders on Labs and survive probably gives most XP for just killing/exfil
No map is easy. You will have to learn from experience
Everyone dies and dies a lot when new
yea i lost everything now haha
need to go back to money farming
should have heaps coming in 48 hours from insurance
Uhm what happened to the army bandage prices? 2 Days ago they were 2k on flea, now they sell for 10+ k per piece
Do you have prices sorted wrong direction
Also why buy bandages
Salewas, cars, ifaks, and grizzlys are all superior healing items.
They seem to start at around 10k with the most expensive one being 140k per item lol
Hmm I see
When I inspect the car first aid kit, it says that it stops bloodloss "40HP"
What does the 40HP have to do with the stopping of bloodloss?
Car Stops blood and heals up to 220
It does the job of bandage and cheese in 1 product
Then Salewa is 400....Ifak 300
Grizzly 1400
Car medkit stops bloodloss?
Yea
Grizzly has added benefit of healing fractures too
Well I'm stupid as heck.
CAR and up stop bloodloss and heal health points
Once you can use CAR and above don't buy bandages/cheese
Been carrying around army bandages for the longest
I store cheese is my alpha
However If i find cheese/bandages in raid I may keep them in raid to use first so I can supplement my good meds
You can take a car and and a cheese if you want
It means the Met kit needs to have 50 in it to actually heal blood loss
Salewa is too expensive to lose, so I divide my loses with car/cheese
Salewas is same cost
hm?
6k for car and 12k for salewa
But he's saying how many bandages and cheese do you need to equal 1 salewa
Car gets a little more hp
@split vapor So for the car medkit if has less than 40 in it it won't stop bloodloss?
Yeah its just that again, I divide my loses
Pretty much
It wonโt. Still heal tho but yeah
Ah okay, tricky
Not really
I cant put half a salewa in my secure container
Hello, sorry my English is not good lol, I a problem for the pre order, I a number code error 0004-0001 after clicking on the confirmation tab for over 18s.
You always heal blood loss first anyway
Plus I'd recommend not thinking of it as too expensive but as more efficient. Like ammo. Maybe it's 400 per round but it's going to work better than the 100 per round ammo...YOu may actually live and kill with good ammo while you are more likely to Die with bad ammo
@spiral kindle #community-support
OK thanks
But healtime on Salewa is actually longer I believe?
So the good/bad ammo analogy doesn't work a hundred percent
Unless salewa heals more things in which case you're right
It was a general overview of loss you take by being cheap
A better analogy would be going in with 60 rounds of sks
Instead of putting the whole 60 in my pocket I'drather put 20 in my secure container
To cut the loses incase of me dying
The problem with the salewas is the first therapist mission for the new players
Can find them in Med stores on Interchange...and do 1 or 2 good raids gets you to 5 and unlocks flea and just buy them
Interchange, noob, not so good idea I think... ๐
Just avoid the middle
Only need to loot PC in Olie and Goshan...and maybe texho & techlight by Olie and you can make 200K easy
Big map. Easy to sneak around and avoid fights if on a $ run
Not for me, I expend my cash in modding weapons and armour to shoot everything in customs, USEC Stash key in secured container and be fun! I play on interchange with SCAVs
But always the same. One headshot and start again. Love this game
can you not sort by armor condition on market? i have 100% condition but see broken ass armors anyway hm
guess its armor points
cant filter by that?
any way to increase endurance?
feel like im a 90 year old grandfather looting outside interchange
any good place to store lab cards
@sand kindle run or walking light weight
@sand kindle not anymore
@coarse plaza wdym
@coarse plaza sell them on flea
a type of container
docs case
doc
Wallet
ty
lf3 ppl to help with quest, will give labs cards
Uh... Isnt it for a quest?
Does it have a purple background? I think its for a quest
all streamer loot is required
oh,ok , kewl, tnx
Any tips for leveling up flea market rep fast?
sell shit
I got all this stuff in my stash I gotta sell.. but only have 3 spaces..
tried to sell stuff over night never sold, I even placed it far below average
I guess I gotta manually check each item? dont just go off average?
Never go off average, look at the prices yourself and how well they sell by how much time is left on their timer
Its often not worth high balling, you get taxxed for a few thousands and earn nothing
yea thanks guys.. lesson learned
Average is a lie.. 47k for a hose they are as low as 10k.. no wonder I wasn't selling anything x.x
Never look at barters
^^^
You can typically undercut someone by 1 rouble and sell it.
Just hit the ignore barter button in settings
@final epoch
what's ignore barter?
Settings, top left-ish corner
There's a gear
Click that, check the "ignore barter offers"
Boom, real prices
OHH thanks, those the annoying offers that want like chocolate..
Like bitch, take your ass to the convenient store then
do people flip in this? people selling stuff for 6k that can easily sell at 10k.. hmm..
yea heaps do
u have to be ridiculously fast though
and keep in mind the fees change based on average item price
is it sometimes worth to just sell stuff to traders?
Tryna clean up my stash from when I was making my way to lvl 5..
Many things sell to traders for same or even more than on flea.
Basic weapons broken down and sold to Skier...then rest to Mechanic are an example.
Plus you can sell Immediately a few dozen items vs. 3 at a time on flea.
And for new people trying to level traders it gets the "spent" up
just dl'ed the game no idea what im doing lol
So you can see all of Discord
Watch some streams.
Use internet maps on 2nd screen
So I've put together a list of tips and useful information for people who are either starting out on EFT or are just looking to refine their skills.

safe key just goes to vendor yea?
how to turn on just a laser if i have laser and flashlight attachment separated?
i think he means if he has 2 attachments
its actually super frustrating
unfortunately
i take that back, i dont think u can pop off an attachment, turn 1 on, put the other one anymore since you cant mod in raid
youre just gonna have to remod the gun
either way, it seems weird to never be able to turn off your attachments if you do that, but whatevers fun
Muzzle
Its ctrl T to flip through the laser functions
If you have multiple is really buggy
You need 25mm rings
thank u very much @steady pilot
whats some cheap fuel for generator? thinking of converting all my AI2 health packs any reason not to?
@plucky reef I'd keep them and for fuel you only have the 2 options
@rich cloak why keep? they heal for shit
They have the fastest usetime which makes them a great battelmed
i guess
@plucky reef You can find blue fuel thingies in Oli quite often
Also I can't stand AI2's, they're awful
There's no argument for fastest use time either as they aren't, they just have the fastest complete time. Grizzly's have the fastest heal time but the longest complete time. You can stop a med cycle at any point by pressing left or right mouse button
can i move while using meds?
just a quick query if anyone had the same issue as me, I just bought the game and on my profile it says that my transaction is there but not the pre-order? Do I have to wait a bit to actually play?
thanks @trim herald
@plucky reef yes if you convert your ai-2s into salewas that should be profitable
@plucky reef i prefer to carry ifaks but salewas can heal you to full on a limb in one use so they are nice, plus 400 hp total
@plucky reef you can also find fuel on reserve map
You can move while using meds, just not sprint
Not quite sure honestly, @queen aspen You got an option to download? Otherwise try to reload site maybe?
*You can't move while using CMS though
@trim herald wheres the download option?
any use for a military power filter? or can i sell it
ah i think I've found the issue nvm thanks anyways Rommel
Anyone got the link to the site where I check the value of items>?
so i need to grab fuel by myself with a container?
Yeah
olie on Interchange often spawns fuel
@waxen forge I can't?
Or level Jaeger and but it from him
how do i know a container on market is full?
oh they really need to add more sorting options for market damn...
You can sort to exclude barter items....high to low, and a few others
does anyone elses fps drop when ads to a scope
It's a common problem. Effects some optics more than others
but i cant sort armor points and energy in fuel containers right?
I wanna upgrade from weiner helmet what should i buy?
I don't believe so. I would suggest going to cheapest to lowest sorting for both armor and fuel. Then scroll down (can choose to show 100 on a page with drop down on bottom left).
For fuel such as the blue ones you aren't going to find full ones til you get to about 50K or so
Similar scenario for armor
Once again....Level traders and you can just buy full fuel from Jaeger and brand new armor from Ragman
6B
Helmets are a money pit
You will die wearing a good/great helmet more than it will save you.
You are going to lose gear. It comes and goes
im so lost in this game, got it yesterday but absolutely loving it tho
EOD version of the game
Also how do I get the roles
Yeah is there a decent discord for LFG?
Can't communicate impossible to play together effectively
yeah but i don't know customs very good. been getting fucked every try there ๐ฆ
feel like its a sure loss since i dont know the map very well
First thing to do with EFT is reset expectations. I don't care how well you do in other shooters. This is a different animal. Need to learn maps, what good ammo is, scav behavior, PMC behavior....etc.
stupid ass question, but if i die is there a way to get that gear back or no?
You are not going to die to Gear in the beginning. You are Dying to EXPERIENCE
Insurance is the only way
Nothing is more fun than killing an extract camper
Insure all....If nobody take your gear (off your dead body) then you will get it back in 24-36 hours
yeah but why take out the "decent" gear when starting out
Will not get back ammo or meds
i just wanna ask what map is the best to start with?
Take decent Ammo
Customs has first tasks. Interchange for Hideout/Task items and to make $
thanks
should i sell these guns like aks and shottys etc. or use them ?
Need to turn in 2 or 3 Mp-133 shotguns for Prapor's first task
If you aren't going to use the gear then sell it
Check flea for price comparison then Therapist>Skier>Mechanic
Might anyone be up for doing a woods run to help me out with Jagers unarmored quest
Im still kinda newish, I got the basics
IF flea price doesn't beat trader or isn't too much higher easier to sell to trader for immediate payment and to increase the "Spent" requirement with traders

Bot is slow. Need to give it a minute
When name is Blue then you are good
Can @ Contact Moderator bot to get help from a Mod
Alrighty
whats the item that holds all the keys in one slot?
Keytool
keyring or keyholder? or something else
oh thanks
oh my fucking god
why is it so expensive??
Rare drop in game...only on marked rooms really
i killed someone and he had a lab keycard, how do i use them xd
White card gets access to labs
Have the card on you and choose labs from the map selector
If it's not the entry card then it is used On the Map and need the entry card to get in
how do i find someone to roll with on the discord?
What's the best ammo for the p90?
It's ok Nobody reads the rules
Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.

Wait what
I joined a party
We spawn in
dude immediatly teamkills everyone
What is the point of LFG then?
Never team with RANDO
LFG in game is for people who are working together on Discord to party up
Yeah I posted there no-one responded
Not in game. Everyone learns once :)
If you can't talk to each other then you can't play together
I get that but I don't think there's a lot of people online right now that want to be tutors
I'll try again in a hour or so
What are you trying to do @hushed raft ?
Ha
I can't even see the lfg channel, I'm pretty sure I accepted the rules properly.
@hushed raft You done any offline mode yet?
Been playing all day, yet to extract once. Is customs the best map to start off with?
yes
Ok, thanks
It is big enough to move around and small enough to get pvp
No @stark coyote
Has first task from Prapor
Learn interchange and reserve for your first maps before labs
Obviously
Though alot of pussy shits camp interchange
Do some offline to learn extracts and get used to your guns, you won't gain or lose any experience or items in offline
I got told to do customs because starter quests or something
First thing for new people in EFT to do is Reset Expectations. You are going to Die....a lot. You are dying due to lack of experience. You need to push through. Learn maps, learn scav behavior (spawns), PMC behavior. Learn what GOOD ammo is. Offline can help with the maps and scav behavior
^
Im fine with losing everything, I assume its part of learning the game. lol
It is
as soon as you pickup the mechanics, it's pure aim in firefights. Your knowledge is only usable after these mechanics
Don't get sucked into I need to get Better gear. "Hey guys what is the best armor, weapon, because then I'll live"
Not entirely, offline mode exists so you can pickup the basics without losing anything.
the only players Ive ran into have been super geared lol
True, but pvp doesn't matter if you don't even know where your extracts are, and you can't aim the gun you are using
I'd take a veteran with shit gear over a noob with top tier gear any day
is there a way to see what things on a weapon is stock? i don't wanna sell a gun with expensive custom parts for same price as stock hm
You just need to learn custom parts
ugh
All flashlights, lasers, optics and silencers/whatnot are custom
Beginning...just break weapons down and sell to Skier then rest to Mechanic
Optics, lasers, and suppressor are the only really "expensive" aspects
If flea is higher (including tax) by a significant amount then can sell to flea but you can only put up 3 offers at once and may have to wait for it to sell.
im seeing so many bots at 200+ rep
Unless the difference between flea/trader is significant enough I'll take instant selling of dozens of items
its insane
Haha, it's not hard to get rep up that high actually business bear....
I jumped from 10 to 50 in a few days, and then got sick of messing with it
Is armor OP or something? I shot a guy with a bunch of sks rounds and he didn't die, he turns around and shoots me once or twice and im dead lol
Can anyone help my friend and I?
Armor helps and you were likely using Shit ammo
Is anyone here willing to help my friend and I? We just got the game.
is game down atm?
Shit ammo?
#521628660298678283 @bold kernel
I just got the game too grinder, if you've got room I'd love to play too
Ammo matters. Each caliber has different rounds in that caliber...some are better than others
@everyone know if games down?
yeah seems like

My game is just stuck on loading, so probably
If it is just give it a minute. They will fix it
any map with scav spawns for customs? none on wiki hm
oh fuck me
games down anyway
Around big red warehouse
so jobs fucked
Around construction/dorms/new gas/boilers
if i insure something and they retrieve it, i dont have to insure again? my insurance was free hm
You do have to insure it again
If you insure it and keep it whole raid then it remains insured
Basically once insurance is "used" then it's gone and has to be re-insured
wonder why my insurance was free then
servers down or my internet shitty again?
They are having issues I believe
so there's tons of older youtube videos talking about key spawns... do keys no longer really spawn out in the open anymore?
just killed someone with nice gear (i think it was good gear) and then get 1 tapped from behind
im ready for dying agane
Many key spawns remain the same as past
i've been tracking and i'm 0 for just under 200 checks on shoreline
and only counting when the area hasn't been looted yet
are yall loading screens not loading ?
radar tower, power, villas, village, look out. not a single key
i mean, that's next level rare lol
RNG too
For example key still spawns on chair in power on Shoreline, on the table by boat motor on scav island...etc
i've checked that chair over 20 times now
damn RNG hates me
same with the room outside of power
or up on the radar tower, villas, etc
10min in loading screen... should i just alt f4
Yep
servers are busted ya, it'll be back eventually
I suspect there is an influx of people logging in right now, I assume alot of new players too.
Or attempting to, rather.
So, should I focus on healing time increases in my hideout first?
Whatever you want
since I die.. alot, my pmc is always super wounded.
Well, when my scav is on CD and my PMC is super wounded I just kinda sit here.
Why
Could just buy meds and heal
You can buy Ai2 or car and heal him
If you died with a weapon you have 30% of health
Im just worried about running out of money, since Im yet to extract lol
@silk basalt u can heal in menu
Oh, you can?
Oh, sweet.
Yeah, you can right click and use the item in the character menu
You can heal in stash but dont get xp for the skill
don't use ai-2 though
found out after waiting for 10 minutes lmao
Nothing wrong with ai2
kinda cost ineffective imo
Is it best to break down a weapon I want to sell? Will I get more money?
Ifyou sell market> therapist > skier > mech you will always get the most out of your money.
Sometimes market is low.
So then follow the path
For flea make sure price is higher than trader (including tax) and I make sure it's high enough to justify 3 offers at a time vs. immediate payment for multiple items with traders
Your threshold of "high enough" may differ from mine.
You will get by for now following the path, you will come up with your own justifications in the end. I follow something similar to Bud
oh wow, might have to get an ssd for this game, takes a while to load into a game.
At the moment, some part of the players may have difficulties entering the game.
We are already working to fix this issue.
oh
