what is the use of Lab keycard?

get a map online and walk to the extract point

Loot tech on Interchange. PC's in Olie and Goshan. Tech stores by Olie. Get out. Don't look for fights. Just loot and avoid
Get out and sell all the tech to therapist

@midnight coyote I'm new and just worked out you double tap O to find out what your extraction points are and then google the map your on and get out that way.
wispy prairie
Is there maybe someone here who can explain me the game a little bit with voice chat? maybe german ? I just bought it and i dont understand anything....

Ok this is my first time I have a problem with inventory managment
waxen forge
UNLESS you have Flea then check flea price vs. therapist price for the tech
Easy 200K
midnight coyote
Also should I be playing this alone because I have no one to go with me.
icy summit
it's very rarely good idea to sell items on therapist instead of flea
waxen forge
So you can see all of Discord @wispy prairie
icy summit
but history knows such examples.

whats a good ADAR sight? all the ones i have are blocked by the front sight that i cant remove

You can remove the front sight

@midnight coyote Also play the same map over and over to learn it.

You can remove it
icy summit
yes

Search MK12 on Flea

you need to replace it

it's a gas block

you need a other gasblock instead.

@midnight coyote As I send I'm new but from the YT videos I've seen they recommend Customs

I believe there may be a language specific section for German...not sure though
icy summit
It's a decenet rocmendation.
I myself started on a factory a loong time ago, but customs is less
bullying.

Another thing is once I click on a map do I press ready or keep pressing next?

If you are outside of game u can just wait as it will recover slowly
anyone wanna play with me I'm new
Join a lfg customs voice chat
which one
The ones with space
and just ask if they are ingame yet
or wait till they are done

Hello 🙂 I wanted some suggestions as a player who got the game 2 days ago... i kinda struggle in understanding how to gear up, loot and such. Where or which weapons to use and all of that, if someone could explain me at least where to start, would be amazing
I knew i was going to die a lot, but seems like i'm not doing progress, i get killed constantly by players with a lot of gear
icy summit
Okay, any specific questions Rayden?
bold kernel
Well, i really like the game, so that's a thing, at least
I don't want to give up, yet
kind thunder
what are these Twitch drops things?
rain oar
ingame items.
bold kernel
Now, i don't know what i should use, which map is best as a beginner, how is gear progression

i watched a stream for like 3 hours and got nothing

Customs is a good start

@bold kernel https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ballistics

ammo is important...
bold kernel
I learnt custom quite decently
long spear
a good gun is crap with crap ammo
icy summit
yeah, but you have acces to almost all of it from the start
so not much of a progression
long spear
vepr km is a great budget gun and ps rounds are great( great for the cost anyway)
icy summit
Try a Scav few times
waxen forge
Scav Interchange
Run straight to exfil
Now you have gear
Use that gear offline while scav cools down
icy summit
Scav factory with that would be alot faster and more effective.
waxen forge
Then scav interchange again...run straight to exfil
Now u have 2 kits
Practice offline til scav ready again
He'd die on factory and not have gear
humble tide
Quick question
bold kernel
What should i practice?

The entire game

How are you supposed to do anything before level 5?

I go into interchange
icy summit
I would advise against it.

You avoid full gear guys if you are at a disadvantage

Just because you can take a fight doens't mean you should
icy summit

But don't go Interchange
slate tulip
they are searching every nook and cranny of the garage for loot

Actually that reminds me- I feel a lot better on dorms side, what's important to think about on the left side of the map?
waxen forge
First thing you new guys need to do with EFT. Reset expectations. I don't care how good you are at FPS like COD, Siege, Battlefield...etc. Doesn't matter here. This is a knowledge/experience game. You are going to get destroyed...not because of gear (or at least not only because of gear) but due to lack of experience.
You need to learn maps, ammo types, scav behavior/'spawns, PMC spawns.
When to run, when to not, when to listen. When to fight...when to not

you download the launcher from ur email and then download the game from the launcher

i literally watched already 3 tutorials. 1 in english (the one budracin sended) and 2 in german. and still nothing tells me anything about this game
everyone says you need to escape.

and just die
wispy prairie
yeah thats the thing i know
icy summit
- with gear
waxen forge
It's a very difficult learning curve
wispy prairie
this game is so strange
it would be so much easier if smn could explain it to me in vc. -.-
wait i cant play as scav all the time?
waxen forge
There is a cooldown for scav
wispy prairie
well seems like i need to search friends that explain me this game
plucky reef
the scavs just rush me sometimes when they havent even seen me :S

you could of been making noise?

maybe but its like they have not spawned then they spawn and aggro me

do you lose durability on red rebel ice pick if you use it to extract

anyone know the answer to that or

What am I missing to this game? When I escape its not satisfying and I feel i've made no progress. When I die its just annoying dying to people with endgame loot

@slate tulip Do your research next time.

Maybe restart the game @somber bolt

i believe they plan to put it on steam at some point
at least i heard that from someone

if this game had a refund option then they wouldnt sell as much

No I mean so people could refund the game if they don't like it

i've found that the solution for most bugs in this game is to restart the game

I can't kill players or scavs

If I kill scavs players will kill me
muted marsh
Anyone wanna duo up
slate tulip
If I try to attack players im too early game to win
long spear
what is the word for that, self defeating i think
stark coyote
You realize how many people are still early game right? That is the challenge anyways, the other people, if you don't like that kinda game, then this isn't a game for you
long spear
things arent handed to you in this game, you have to do research and know what you are doing, its not call of duty
its a process
but even in call of duty you have to learn maps and angles and such
slate tulip
Its not fun hiding and running for 30 minutes
I buy shooter games to shoot at things
long spear
then shoot at things
stark coyote
Then don't hide and run, barrel at the enemy full speed and hope you get lucky :p

i dont even have an urge to play call of duty after buying this, id just rather play this

If you never see players, that's you tbh. You can find players as early as you want.
bold kernel
orr ya coulda just done your research......
slate tulip
I quit playing shooters and picked this up 2 days ago
bold kernel
before buying something
waxen forge
It's not the gear. I guarantee you there are plenty of people who with low level gear can take out geared guys with positioning and tactics. Not a straight up walk up to them and shoot full auto and absorb rounds...but tactics
long spear
well i guess you didnt research this game much before buying it, nor have you researched how to be successful in it after buying it it sounds likes to me
open basin
excuses 
stone surge
if you really value your money, you would research the game before buying.
slate tulip
I don't see what the excuse is
stark coyote
The excuse is "gear"
long spear
"If I try to attack players im too early game to win"
slate tulip
I don't even try to, somebody just told me to look for players
silk basalt
When i come across a geared player, should I go for their feet?
open basin
half the servers games i get into are dead
silk basalt
I assume legs would be the weak spot
long spear
@silk basalt that depends on your ammo
open basin
you run away lmao
slate tulip
other players kill me while i'm looking for loot
stone surge
@slate tulip This game has a complex system when it comes to how ammo and armor work.
stark coyote
Use a mosin @slate tulip That gun will tear through the most geared players easily. If you still can't kill them with it, you are the problem, not the gear
slate tulip
Should I just buy a mosin for every game?
stone surge
if you want to snipe... i guess?
long spear
if you are new you probably want to stay away from dorms, theres no relatively good loot spots on customs
open ravine
i have a marked key, is it worth the risk?
long spear
but theres still a chance to get good items on customs
inner tinsel
Don't know if this is out of date or anything, but I've been using this ammo chart https://i.redd.it/y51gvkbpnc741.png

if you search bags and jackets and cabinets etc
stark coyote
Mosin for med-long range, vepr hunter for close-long range. They are both dirt cheap weapons that can ruin any players day
silk basalt
I am having an issue differentiating between what I can loot and what I cant. Lack of EXP sucks lol
stone surge
@inner tinsel thats not an ammo chart.
flint parcel
best loadout for a newer player?
silk basalt
kinda like when I started Dayz
waxen forge
long spear
@flint parcel i recommend a vepr km with ps ammo, and maybe a paca body armor if you are just starting out
although you need lvl 5 for this
you can replace vepr with the sks from prapor if not lvl 5
plucky reef
WTF is up with customs? I have silos near me and there is a fucking river!? where on the map is this?
open ravine
@flint parcel i typically just use an sks with ps ammo, armor and stuff i find from scavs
flint parcel
i am level 5
slate tulip
@plucky reef silos
stone surge
@inner tinsel the docs is a bit laggy (due to traffic rn) but you should use this ammo chart as reference: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jjWcIue0_PCsbLQAiL5VrIulPK8SzM5jjiCMx9zUuvE/htmlview?sle=true&pru=AAABb4eAfHw*5IJG8mU6iqGL1oyZo2GjLg#gid=64053005

the river/bridge is 200m and not on the map?
stone surge
wiki is also updated.
long spear
@plucky reef well theres only one river on customs so that shouldnt really be tough to figure out
open ravine
I found a really good hk, but im new and im afraid to use it, should i just sell it?
plucky reef
you say there is only one yet where the fuck is there 4 silos and a river within 1 minute of walking
open basin
sell it
slate tulip
You might just not know what a silo is
stone surge
@open ravine dont wanna play with it/use it -> sell
why keep it if you dont wanna use it
plucky reef
its a big round tower like thing
long spear
im not saying there is only one, there literally is only one, but ok
inner tinsel
I think I'll stick with the one I have for now, it's quick and to the point lol That doc takes way too long to load and look through
plucky reef
yes and where is the bridge within 1-2 minute of walking/sprinting?
marble blade
lol there is not
slate tulip
u trippin
stark coyote
I mean... If you run straight down the middle of the open road, sure.... But that's a good way to die
waxen forge
Where did the whole 1-2 minutes aspect of this come in?
long spear
i dont think you can reach the river from there even if you sprint for 1 minute, MAYBE 2 but i doubt it
plus thats super reckless anyways idk why you would do that
marble blade
takes me like 10 minutes to cross the map
steady pilot
How do people not know how to look at a map and reference buildings and objects
plucky reef
the whole 1-2 minute is a way of me saying there is no way i can reach the main bridge in that time it took
plucky reef
there was a large factory that was locked, some trains and 4x big round tower like things
"factory"

thats literally called silos

What melee weapon is the best?
plucky reef
is there any 4 round tower like stuff anywhere else? i mean i had railroad to tarkov and military base as extractions. pretty weird

only real advice i can give is pay attention and try not to give away your position
plucky reef
there was like a bombed building in the middle
long spear
aka running and bushes
plucky reef
or construction building
long spear
until you are more experienced

@native drum Antique Axe is one of the better ones afaik, but they really dont matter
native drum
Okey. Have on antique axe but got a red rebell in drop now xD @gray mountain

then use RR

Just use offline mode. And run around the (god damn) map with a Wiki map open. Start connecting dots.

with the extractions right @steady pilot

hey i got a red rebel
steady pilot
Yes

as long as you make it out alive in spirit you're good
velvet wadi
okay i'm new to this game and out of the 27 runs i've done with my pmc i've only made it out of one alive
pls help
also i've got a shit ton of guns that i'm too afraid to bring into a raid so do i just sell em
open basin
yes
marble blade
you either are not taking it slow enough OR you engage with players and lose....
@velvet wadi and just sell all those guns you dont use,
velvet wadi
i move like a goddamn snail but i get fucked as soon as i meet another pmc
long spear
pay attention and dont give away your position until you are more experienced and can do things like confidently run and move through a noisy bush, also know how good your ammo is in consideration of engaging another geared player
marble blade
everything should be insured anyways always
silk basalt
so I should just always insure my entire loadout?
timber dock
@velvet wadi In those 26 runs you died, did you find you died in roughly the same areas?
velvet wadi
okay
long spear
@silk basalt basically yes
velvet wadi
not really
marble blade
@silk basalt yes
velvet wadi
it was kinda scattered around
also another thing, should i be bringing armor/helm into raids and if so what are some good budget ones
gray mountain
Crosstix, interested in helping me do a few raids?
long spear
sure
bold kernel
@velvet wadi ssh
marble blade
always cheapest armor and helmet for looting runs, you get one tapped with no armor by AI @velvet wadi
long spear
paca can save you from scav rounds from ragman lvl 1, people also recommend ssh-68 but i dont really recommend that unless you are getting shot in teh back of the head a lot for some reason
long spear
some scav rounds***
marble blade
ai is deadly
long spear
mainly shotgun and pistol rounds for paca
velvet wadi
alright
and how should i deal with running into a hella geared pmc but they don't notice me

Eyyy they fixed the bug..... I can do offline reserve now, which means i can learn the map xD
velvet wadi
aim for their legs and have them pimp walk to the extract
forest steppe
what is the RR pick axe and why is it so valuable?
stark coyote
Extracts use it
Some of them, i think there is one on woods, as well as the one on reserve
forest steppe
huh interesting, i guess paracord is like that too?
so i shouldnt sell it i guess? was a twitch drop
stark coyote
Yeppers
fallen crane
its almost necessary for extracting on reserve
forest steppe
"Required for the Cliff Descent extract on the map Reserve
Required for the Mountain Stash extract on the map Woods"
stark coyote
Up to you if you are going to play those maps and bring paracord and the RR
forest steppe
its worth the value of a weapons case
fallen crane
if you did want to sell it wait a week and the value will double
stark coyote
I bought my RR at around 2m

where can i Find paracords?
fallen crane
got mine for 70k lul

Hey guys, I just started playing Tarkov a couple days ago. I need some help and I was wondering if there are groups that are avail. to play with. I kinda have no gear, so idk.
steady pilot
I am the biggest asshole. On interchange we were in this long con fight around oli and tech store for 30mins. Last 5 mins we decide to book it to emercom and exit. My buddies extracted and I was like hmm what are the odd this is his exist. I wait till 45 second mark and hear scav contact at ramp. Waited till he got next to my bush, mowed him down, and jumped to exfil with -4 seconds and extracted. Lul fuck that guy wasting my raid.

forest steppe

unlike the moonshine drops

very frustrating first experience w/ tarkov
between not getting loot and it now i'm sitting for over 10 minutes and still haven't joined a match
sand apex
I don't know if I'm "good" but I feel like it took a couple of weeks to get a sense of confidence with the game
I feel like my SR is pretty average
fallen crane
play a lot of scavs to get comfortable with the guns etc
steady pilot
It's a knowledge game

you can't really "play a lot of scavs"

is factory the best beginner friendly map?
thick briar
Nope
steady pilot
No
steady pilot
Fastest way to lose all of your shit
sand apex
factory is good for pvp basically
warm walrus
oh that's interesting, i would have thought b/c of the easy-to-find exfils it would be good to gear up
ahh
sand apex
small map, quick to get into fights, scavs all around
but it can be a meat grinder if you're not accustomed to the game
plus it doesn't really have any good loot aside from one safe which is hit or miss and not in a great spot
bold kernel
Customs is best starting map imo
it's the one that has all the starting Tasks
it's easy to learn
tardy wagon
okay im back
steady pilot
It's okay cause its linear but also very hard to survive for the same reason
tardy wagon
have things died down?
steady pilot
Are we really alive though?
ocean gazelle
anyone feel like answering some questions for a noob id appreciate it. im in beginners assistance chan
steady pilot
You can ask here.
sand apex
the answer to all your question is "it depends" probably 😉
bold kernel
@ocean gazelle this is a very good beginner guide imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tAXl7bp3EM -- i came in very confused today and after watching it felt a lot more comfortable and immediately had one of my best runs.
tiny trail
howdy howdy, Lvl 5 dude here, what should I be looting for? The rando blue stuff? or should i be hoarding weapons?
bold kernel
it's about 40 minutes long, but it spells out a lot.
Matches, Ducktape, Zibbo's
early game are worth their weight in gold
can trade them for stuff
guns are always needed.. i tend to run out of them in my first try
dieing without getting out loot
lol
make sure to put your important shit in your alpha/beta container so you don't lose it
rain panther
ya i tried to get some stuff from a scav i spawned and got killed in factory
bold kernel
factory is hard
rain panther
ya top tier geared players
sand apex
factory doesn't have good loot anyway unless you kill a geared player
bold kernel
@tiny trail get weapons in raids, use said weapons or sell them on flea
rain panther
ya seems like customs or some other map maybe the better idea just don't know where to extract
sand apex
try offline raids
look up a map online, and do some offline raids and explore until you get an idea of where the extracts are
bold kernel
@rain panther if you talk to the first 2 traders they will give you tasks
both are for customs
rain oar
How expensive is Gunsmith Part 4?
sand apex
keep in mind that the extracts that work for you will always be on the opposite end of the map from where you started
bold kernel
so it seems like to me that's where they want you to start
rain panther
hmm ok i'll try that for a bit without ai's
sand apex
also turning on pve is a good way to just practice combat
increase the spawn rate and try to fight scavs and get out, you'll get a good feel for the combat in the game
rain panther
kk
bold kernel
@keen gate bro wtf u gay?
grand elm
Make sure you turn bosses on
keen gate
What
rain panther
why the bosses? i already know they take alot of ammo in order to kill and they rare tough?
sand apex
but if you do offline raids be sure to use gear you would take to a normal raid... some people think they can play with the fancy gear they have that they're afraid to lose in an offline raid, but then you won't be practicing with the stuff you usually are using
bold kernel
same
rain panther
k i did buy some low starting tier armor and stuff
bold kernel
i recommend going in w/ just a pistol, 1 magazine, 1 cheese in your pockets. 30 rounds, another magazine, a bandage, and cheese in your alpha container
and get out with what you can till you have a decent stash
that has worked for me so far w/ my PMC
grand elm
If youre wanting to get better at surviving, why wouldnt you turn bosses on in offline mode?
Lol
rain panther
should i take the high cap guns or the 8 round pistols
bold kernel
i use the good pistols you start w/
fluid path
the 8 round pistols (PMs) are super weak, i wouldnt use them
bold kernel
i forget what it's called
fluid path
grach or 226
bold kernel
P226R
rain panther
kk
bold kernel
sharp bough
bold kernel
this is what someone recommend i go in w/ as a noob
broken quailBOT
fluid path
yes
rain panther
how about ammo there a good guide for that too?
fluid path
check that ballistics
rain panther
kk
fluid path
ok so for context, a lot of players wear level 4 and 5 armor
fluid path
you want something that shows green against it, or you will have a bad time
scavs generally dont wear armor
bold kernel
i've been scared quite a few times already by bullets pinging near my head lol
@bold kernel you'd be lucky to put a dent in lvl4 armor with that setup
Do ppl rly use the gold tt pistol
or is it like collectors item
woven kayak
Hey guys I just downloaded the game and was wondering which of the starting items I was given i should keep and which ones I should sell?

I got it from a drop
granite karma
How does one quickly equip helmets
granite karma
Ok thanks
bold kernel
alt right click to loot or put in bag, and middle mouse button to examine an item
fluid path
@woven kayak Usually you can sell your PM pistols. You can actually sell all of your pistols and use rifles if you prefer. Rifles are much stronger.
woven kayak
does it matter which trader i sell them to?
bold kernel
yes
some give u more for things
^
I watched this
that guide is great
taught me alot
same
its the best one out there that i found
sand apex
therapist generally pays the most but she doesn't buy guns/armor/attachments
river ruin
can we change the number bottom right of screen?
sand apex
generally you go therapist>skier>mechanic
you can also sell to peacekeeper instead of mechanic for dollars if you need some dollars
you do need to do business with each different trader though to level them up so sometimes its worth selling to less optimal traders for that purpose
also to maximize profit from guns, you can disassemble them and sell everything you can to skier first, then mechanic
river ruin
do people normally adjust scope height or leave on default
sand apex
depends on the player and the scope
river ruin
page up/down
sand apex
some scopes have useful mildots or other markings
and if you learn the scope you're often better off leaving the zero alone and using those
river ruin
what does it effect? bullet drop?
marble latch
does anyone know how much a silver christmas ball goes for?
theres no offers in the market
sand apex
well it indicates the range (in meters) at which the scope's point of aim intersect's the bullet arc
you can't sell them on the market
tardy wagon
breaching doors with a spartan kick?
prime ermine
lost 20 raids in a row
tardy wagon
is it only one time neded?
prime ermine
not sure how to not lose at this point
bold kernel
do reshala's guards aggro to player scavs without being provoked? cause i was just gunned down by a scav in dorms basically right after i spawned in
prime ermine
1m down to 200k
sand apex
yes scav boss and goons do aggro player scavs
bold kernel
ok, i was confused for a bit, thx

can someone help us understand the game
bold kernel
i was going in and out on the 2nd floor to get the machinery key for a quest and as i was going back out a scav shot me in the back
remote pendant
i dont understand the game and i wanna start playing the game
prime ermine
don't
i just shot someone 9x in the face with a pistol and he had no helmet
and he didn't die
240 dmg
to flesh
2ft away
fluid path
he had the bulletproof face disguise, clearly
waxen marten
Looking to Purchase escape from tarkov and would like someone to join a call so we can ask questions @here
fluid path
im being flippant, the answer is you probably missed. or it was laggy.
Almost every bullet will kill an unprotected face in a single hit
bold kernel
@remote pendant @proud arrow #sherpa-info look into sherpas and the pinned messages here.. If offline is working. test things there
prime ermine
it said it did 240 flesh damage
bold kernel
buckshot can fail to head tap if only one pellet hits
fluid path
Dark, it doesnt tell you where you hit, though
prime ermine
i was touching h im
fluid path
What kind of gun?
prime ermine
p226 i think idk
was a scav
shot him in the back of the head 9x
he turned around and killed me
240 flesh damage
fluid path
i would bet it hit low and you hit him in the neck/chest
started tapping wildlyl and hit arms next
fluid path
then chalk it up to a buggy scav. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
bold kernel
what map. scav boss can tank pistol to face and neck can count toward chest
prime ermine
ik but i've lost 20x in a row to the same kinda things
why i think theres something wrong
i haven't had a single successful raid.
people just arent dying
shot someone 6x with 7n1 in the chest earlier he didn't die
rain panther
leg meta!
prime ermine
with svd
bold kernel
might be hardware or desync is powerfully distruptive.
fluid path
does this happen if you do an offline raid?
grand elm
@prime ermine aim for the face. lol
prime ermine
i also had a roudn where i killed someone then i died after i killed them instantly
fluid path
What youre describing doesnt sound like the tarkov ive played, but maybe im not cursed with lag or something.
prime ermine
my friend was hella confused.
bold kernel
bullets are projectiles
fluid path
if you go to factory, turn on offline mode and PVE, and shoot some scavs
fluid path
do you get this bulletproof scav behavior?
bold kernel
1 tapped
prime ermine
yeah i'll try that i wonder if i'm connected to a wrong server or something
fluid path
you can configure what servers you play on via the launcher
bold kernel
if you can recreate the issue, put it on youtube and send the game data in a bug report from launcher
rain panther
has anyone seen hackers in this game yet?
umbral hamlet
I’m still confused how to play
velvet wadi
should i sell or keep dogtags
rain panther
keep some of them you can trade them for some guns
prime ermine
what difficulty are scavs usually on
rain panther
most likely the hardest difficulty
i got a dogtag case from a twitch drop and a modded ak
umbral hamlet
I’m still confused on playing I’ve played 3 matches still don’t know what’s going on
fluid path
have you checked out any youtube beginner guides?
Pestily has good ones.
Covers a lot of core mechanics.
and guides for each map.
umbral hamlet
What’s the goal while playing
rain panther
your looting and killing scavs raiders and players for loot also doing some quest missions for the traders from what i can see also upgrading your safe house
fluid path
Survive, build wealth, risk your stuff, get into deadly firefights and come out on top
umbral hamlet
Is there no teamwork?
fluid path
Play with friends, outmaneuver the enemy, have more gunfights
If you play with people, its required.
fluid path
Try keeping track of 2-4 other people without shooting them
umbral hamlet
Rip Lmaoo
fluid path
and no HUD
fluid path
change the AI amount
bold kernel
Ok, I see a decent chunk of people ask what the goal is: FUN
umbral hamlet
I think I killed a teammate is that possible
fluid path
you can go to Horde, altho it will lag your CPU
grand elm
Biggest part of this game is situational awareness. Its going to be a bitch until you can understand whats going on around you at all times.
bold kernel
Yes
team killing is a thing
But "teammates" have to be manually teamed up with
in the lobby
umbral hamlet
I killed someone but it didn’t count in my kills lmao
bold kernel
did they spawn with you?
umbral hamlet
No
bold kernel
Possible bug?
umbral hamlet
They approached me and I shot
long spear
occasionally the after raid stats will bug and show you previous raids
fluid path
Weird. THat definitely sounds dead 🙂
umbral hamlet
But they didn’t have anything lol
slate tulip
Why is the game called escape from tarkov when one of the extraction points is called train to tarkov
I'm asking the real questions here
real river
7n1 or snb?
bold kernel
mmm
fluid path
There's a loose story told via placeholder quests. But the game is a looter/shooter sandbox.
7n1

thats what i thought thanks
