for what it's worth, SSDs should not load you in much faster than non SSD. there's a delay before entering games for this reason
waxen forge
Also I would recommend 16GB of RAM
west pawn
ssds help massively tho
hearty sky
for offline games ye, for multiplayer games i dont think so
west pawn
Where to find a group btw, kinda new and i only play with one friend and solo gets old, i know customs like the back of my hand but never played another map
steady pilot
SSD is heavily recommended. Anyone who tells you otherwise has no idea what they are talking about
hearty sky
remember, the game has to load in ALL items from the flea market, and that is a huge data base
waxen forge
My experience of playing with people with game on a HDD vs. SSD is the SSD loads faster...real world experience not theory

In darksouls you have to spend a thatfuckingitemwhichiforgethenameof to become a human

stone surge
you never played dayz or arma before then, it's similar to that. You go in with high risk and you can get out with good rewards for killing. It's how the game works and that'll never change. It's also the reason why it's so "immersive" people have the feeling you dont wanna die, this feeling/experience you won't get anywhere close to tarkov.
timber violet
As a noob myself i can suggest you to play offline with your gear to practice
stone surge
if there were no penalties for dying in Tarkov, tarkov wouldn't give the same "immersive" feeling.

Among other things

Dayz and arma still have that immersive feeling

it says that I've only handed in one even though I have handed in two
glossy pumice
@steady pilot can you tell me why can't the weapon fire auto?
It can only single shot apparently
steady pilot
@glossy pumice because it's a civilian AK
vivid basalt
I prefer the ADAR as a budget weapon, great ammo and no modding really needed.
steady pilot
AKM is the full auto variant
But also 2x and 3x the price
Depending
Ak103 is the modern version of AKM
steady pilot
Not reliable no
quick stirrup
the only thing I took off of the shotgun was a light and it still worked as a weapon so im not sure why it didn't register me handing over the mp-133 to prapor
steady pilot
Shotguns severely lack in damage unless you hit open flesh
Cause most shells are stopped by armor

No BP shells?

old gas station and factory far corner
fading vigil
Can someone confirm that the game still uses "blunt damage" calculations? I remember seeing videos with fort armor withstanding 40 shots of 9x18, but judging by the current mechanics, it can only whitstand like 10 shots? Is this wiki page https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics still relevant? It says that some armors can whitstand more than 20 shots, i guess this is based on the old data before the blunt damage patch back in october 2018?
plucky reef
So old gas station is just it works or don't
digital stag
anyone having any luck getting in?
waxen forge
Check downstairs or behind blue fence for Old gas
fading vigil
Blunt damage seem pretty bad idea, if the game deems itself realistic, then there's no way you would die from 10 9x18 shots to a level 4/5 armor xD

I never scav on customs so forget which is which

@plucky reef you went here for Old Gas?

i was in a player scav and i was extracting when it got to 0 it said something about authorisation

What I did wrong was try to leave a high profile area without loot instead of sitting and waiting in a bush for 30 minutes and then leaving
fluid path
30 minutes is a bit excessive ๐ Maybe, go from bush to bush. Look around.
YOu can run into death 5 mins from raid end.
If youre suicidal - you die instantly and dont learn, obviously.
If youre paralyzed with fear and do nothing, same issue.
been there when i started
slate tulip
the only way I can win is be so extremely patient and wait everyone else out then leave
and you have to do that for 5 levels
no tasks
just waiting
fluid path
You dont have any tasks at all to do?
steady pilot
Why don't you go watch a pestily or deadly slob begginer guide while you wait for servers
slate tulip
Already have
steady pilot
Watch more

Got my first solo success... I think it's because there's no other players... xD
steady pilot

Try fighting some scavs and extracting on an offline raid or two. If you can do that, youre ready to play online.
Buddy up if youre worried about players, but you wont ever get better by hiding
slate tulip
I've already played a lot with friends
Playing online isn't the issue either
Just early game isn't fun or satisfying
fluid path
Ok, then go shoot some scavs with a couple headshots, loot a little, extract. Easy xp.
Try a big map like Shoreline or Interchange
shell kettle
Is there no LFG channel?
fluid path
Where you can get away from the crowd.
slate tulip
Why do people say play on customs then
fluid path
Customs is good if you want to run into players.
prisma stag
geared asf, most successful raid ever, finished 2 quests at once, extracted in last 1.5 minutes and... authorization error.
relogging in now but... am I fcked?
plucky reef
shoreline is better than customs imo
slate tulip
I don't understand why people recommend customs to beginners then
Other players stop you for free
fluid path
idk, Factory is listed as Breeze or Easy difficulty ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
but it isnt for new players
quick moss
Because customs is a map you'll have to learn because of the quests there 
fluid path
Shoreline and Interchange are big maps that have a good chance of not even seeing other players if you avoid the high traffic hotspots
Good to practice on.
prisma stag
phew, I'm fine
slate tulip
I probably check out interchange again then
because customs aint doing it anymore
Shit is annoying now
fluid path
On Interchange specifically, go explore the underground parking garage
go upstairs when youre ready
its a big map.
scavs and loot are plenty in the garage.
slate tulip
I've explored all of the bottom and first floor interchange with my friends but never thought about tackling it solo
shell kettle
I don't see that channel and its not blue and clickable for me like normal #
quick moss
read rules
steady pilot
@shell kettle accept the #521628660298678283 and #news-setup
fluid path
if you try shoreline, avoid the resort in the middle of the map
Mostly locked doors and experienced players there ๐
slate tulip
I'm not gonna go there anyway just gonna stick to what I know
Exploring new maps solo sounds boring
steady pilot
Nice.
shell kettle
I did that stuff, still don't see it
fluid path
Think about it like a battle royale, you want to win, but probably wont
do the quests. theyre like challenges that push you to learn and try new stuff.
steady pilot
If you cant improve yourself there is no reason to drag your friends down due to malknowledge
shell kettle
Do I need the PMC tag?
slate tulip
What if we are all new though ๐ค
slate tulip
We can understand you just fine tho

Oof

I got a bunch of whiskey for a twitch drop but still fairly new is it worth anything on the flea market I don't have access to it yet. (Only level 2 or 3.)

Not the correct result? Use !wiki page whiskey for a direct link or !wiki search whiskey for a list of all hits.
steady pilot
Read the wiki and decipher if you want to sell
elder crypt
I looked it up and it is used to trade for an M4, but I don't care about trading for weapons I am here to turn everything into cash. XD
fluid path
eft loot says it goes for ~37k avg
elder crypt
So I assume it is worth more to wait and sell on the flea market than to sell it to The Rapist.
steady pilot
So why you asking? You seem to know then 
safe pendant
omegalulw
elder crypt
Eft loot? Is there a website to look up trade prices?
elder crypt
Ok
stone surge
really hard.
elder crypt
Will just have to wait until I have flea market to turn stuff and make money.
steady pilot
Just get lvl 5
stone surge
in general it won't take long till you know what items are worth a lot.
steady pilot
It takes 1 hr
elder crypt
I only got like 1.4 mil rubles right now, which I guess for level 2-3 isn't bad if I want to buy cheap stuff.
fluid path
thats good.
split vapor
Thereโs the rational price that items are only worth and thereโs the inflated over price that people sell at
steady pilot
stone surge
The moment traders are out of stock, the prices go up a lot as players are the only source left to buy off and there's more demand than supply
steady pilot
Shoot bad
elder crypt
I got three labs cards from twitch drops too and waiting to sell them on flea when I unlock it, way too early for me to go there. I'd just die right away. XD
stone surge
yup
split vapor
Labs is trash anyways
steady pilot
^
stone surge
nah that's exaggerated
split vapor
No
steady pilot
No its trash
stone surge
Idk i have fun in labs and profit from it.
milbase is boring af imo
i dont like the cqb there at all
elder crypt
I got a a kiba key too, and it sells for like 450k just to therapist, so I can only imagine how much it sells on flea. XD
steady pilot
But it's free and plenty of long range
split vapor
Whom cqc in such a large map
fluid path
Kiba price crashed
elder crypt
Because of this event?
stone surge
aslong as I can sustain myself going in full gear and still manage to profit I wouldn't say labs i bad. 90% of my income is from labs
split vapor
racking 700 stops
kind canyon
what fuel goes in generator?
stone surge
but the loot can be bad overall, there's too few for the amount of ppl
steady pilot
imagine not racking a orsis instead
stone surge
but if you don't die, you always profit
elder crypt
Ok guess I will hold onto kiba key to sell later at higher price. Are labs keys crashing too because twitch drops?
steady pilot
General consensus is labs trash
timber dock
I feel like I'm getting pretty lucky with these Twitch drops.
stone surge
How so?
elder crypt
Are there any tasks for labs, I mean will I have to go there eventually?
stone surge
yet you say it's trash.
fluid path
I think this is the best economy they've had in a wipe to date
Not seeing Gen4 everywhere like last time so early
stone surge
Idk, people say all kinds of stuff. One says labs is too easy, the other says it has too few loot to be profitable, the other says labs is not worth it over reserve or interchange
steady pilot
No this economy is all over the damn place and not any better
Game was honestly better before flea
๐คท
stone surge
labs prices are pretty stable atm
look at vpx or virtex
400k for last month
down to 300k sometimes
ledx has been 1.2-1.6mill aswell for about a month now
elder crypt
The best place to make money is where all the players are. Kill them and take there stuff. XD
frosty spindle
is there anyone that wouldnt mind pulling a noob through some raids to show them the ropes
stone surge
if there is one thing ruining the economy right now, it's twitch drops.
radiant elk
@steady pilot I doubt the in game economy will truly be stable till the game gets full release
steady pilot
@frosty spindle pestily and deadlyslob videos
Beginner videos
Or try your luck with a sherpa #sherpa-info or #pvp-lfg
frosty spindle
ty @steady pilot
elder crypt
Pestily and Deadlyslob have definitely helped me with basics, though I still need to learn extracts.
steady pilot
Offline mode and wiki map
stone surge
Game was absolute aids without flea. but I think the people that love EFT w/o flea market are the people that enjoy Ironman on runescape.
which is niche
prob less than 5% of the playerbase
rough wadi
@elder crypt wiki map 100
radiant elk
@elder crypt what father said he was quicker
elder crypt
I know all the Interchange extracts and factory extracts. XD
split vapor
Economy stabilizes a month after wipe typically
elder crypt
I still need to do customs
radiant elk
@split vapor when was last wipe
steady pilot
But itd clear that labs has a massive impact on economy because it's still stupid easy to access and easy to abuse raiders in.
fluid path
Ive heard opinions the flea shouldnt even exist
i think theres some merit - like, access to rep 4 items with no questing at all
steady pilot
The flea market used to let you buy your way through everything
Instead of earning that sense of progression
So you just hatchet run for best loot. Buy items for quest.
Win game.
radiant elk
Had to use flea market for a few parts for my lvoa build
fluid path
i think it also adds a community, some connection to others that would be hard to get w/o the flea
markets are fun to play with
gun modding is WAY better with the flea
theres tons of hours of content for people to get into, thats before even playing the market
steady pilot
No weapon.modding is way better with Edit Preset
fluid path
theyve added a lot of avenues to keep people interested
if you do all your quests, and are mostly trader 3-4, sure
fluid path
no flea, most players wont get any parts
steady pilot
That can attach to a weapon
radiant elk
Scope,mount.gasblock, potato grip+mount
fluid path
so its look and no touch
steady pilot
That good
radiant elk
Oh and 10 inch barrel
steady pilot
Nobody understands compatibility
fluid path
empty servers with nothing but pros, or appealing to "casual" players that might only hit 20 in a wipe ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
steady pilot
You dont understand how edit preset helps these people who know Jack shit when it comes modding in this game
fluid path
wow had this same crisis of faith, altho they went off the deep end in lowering the bar
it did drive lots of players and money tho
the presets are good
but people are gonna be like ugh, im only mechanic 1 and that handguard is mech 4
what do
steady pilot
We literally had to learn everything from wiki
fluid path
cant just grind that out rq
radiant elk
@Father KM I am too poor to upgrade hideout to do that
radiant elk
I have 10k
steady pilot
With these twitch drops and free shit nobody should have an issue lol
violet marlin
Somebody told me to buy a keyring and I checked on the flea market and they sell for 650k. Is that really what those are worth?
fluid path
document cases hold a lot of keys for ~130
violet marlin
So thats the high end of it then?
split vapor
@whole oracle may you not post random pictures. Cool thanks
violet marlin
I need something i can throw in my safe container to bring with me

Key tool is 1x1 and only fits keys. Doc case is 1x2 but fits keycard money and keys

What time in-game does it get completely dark?

jayy scavs are only available every 20 min. you can also do offline mode, but you dont save any loot or progress offline.
radiant elk
@steady pilot don't want to get scammed
steady pilot
??
glossy sapphire
@fluid path should i try offline mode to get used to it? i don't wanna buy it and get immediately fucked, have a bad time, and rage quit lol
steady pilot
How would you get scammed
radiant elk
Don't know how much anything is actually worth
velvet fractal
Thanks @steady pilot
steady pilot
It's as worth as much as therapist will buy it
Or players buy it
Pick one that has most

Everybody gets fucked up in this game @glossy sapphire . Watch some beginner videos from Pestily, or streams if you havent.

No scam

how well does the VSS perform against lvl 4+ armors?

Sp6 and solves any problem

SP-5 is high speed low recoil

vivid basalt
ahhh ๐
shell kettle
How do you tell who is PMC and who is SCAV?
fluid path
you can throw SP-5 everywhere and never worry about cost, is all
steady pilot
Cheap gun is ok
Cheap ammo is not
End of story.
Ammo is what deciphers between life and death against an armoed target
vivid basalt
Agreed. I run around with SNB ammo for my mosin while trying to complete the mosin quest for Jaeger, has gotten me so much more money back than I ever spent on it
steady pilot
That 30k extra you spent on ammo just saved you from losing 200k in kit. The ends justify the means.
split vapor
Snb bad
vivid basalt
is SNB bad for the mosin? you guys sure?
steady pilot
Penetration isnt everything. Chest is 80 hp and 7n1 is above 80. And penetrates well with 45
split vapor
Compared to 7n1 is 86 damage
vivid basalt
ahhhh SNB has been working well for me at least ๐
steady pilot
The application of the round matters
Not just stats too
Like igolnik
Is also trash
2 shots for head and 3 for chest unlike BS which pens just as fine for 1 less bullet for each
vivid basalt
interresting
split vapor
Super expensive ammo isnโt always the best

steady pilot
M855a1 is gucci
1% people run lvl 6. 9% run lvl 5. 90% run lvl 4 or lower.
Anything 40 pen works
But application matters on top of that
So m62, snb, m61 trash
split vapor
All new 308 and 54r trash also

It's just scav ammo

Win a gunfight with some stacked out dudes and get killed by a mosin pscav at extract

I hate trying to do the mosin quest, I gave up at some point using gear and just started running naked with the mosin on shoreline :X

It's easy on woods
vivid basalt
I struggled on woods, enemies always seemed to be within 50 meters.
either that or they lie down in some random grass and never stand back up

First of you gotta learn what stuff is generally worth. Worthwhile loot can be very subjective.
barren mesa
