[fickle kettle]

[tepid fossil]

Well i'm gonna hop on customs and keep playing on that map until i memorize it

[verbal wedge]

imma just take FAT shits inbetween my scav timers

[bold kernel]

@tepid fossil I can hook you up

[tepid fossil]

With some selewa's?

HOw can ya

[bold kernel]

[sonic lake]

2 ai-2s for salewas

[fickle kettle]

den you should get the med car

[bold kernel]

[tepid fossil]

[bold kernel]

2 ai = 1 salewa

[fickle kettle]

near the tower sniper scav

[sonic lake]

[bold kernel]

Hanzsu

[tepid fossil]

Sup?

[bold kernel]

Ill give you 4

[tepid fossil]

OKe

How can ya

[fickle kettle]

"it found in raid"

bruh

giving it to him wont help

[tepid fossil]

No there's nothing that says

Found in raid

it just says give 5 salewas

[fickle kettle]

[tepid fossil]

See

[sonic lake]

tis not a found in raid quest

hence salewas rising in price as more newbies get on

lol

[fickle kettle]

hmm isee

[verbal wedge]

broooo

factories is so fun

and why did my scav counter go up??

stg this shit was at 10 minutes when i left

[gaunt berry]

is there like a keyring item?

[fickle kettle]

@tepid fossil isee 300k

[tepid fossil]

I sold

[fickle kettle]

no i mean too little

[tepid fossil]

Oh

Sad

[warm terrace]

@gaunt berry there's a keytool in the game

[gaunt berry]

tradable or do I have to do quests for it

[warm terrace]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Keytool

tradeable, you can buy it

barter for it, or find it in game

[proper ginkgo]

decent not too expensive helmet with face shield that is headset compatible

?

[surreal karma]

hey. Will someone help me out of poverty by partnering with me and bringing along a mosin for me?

[proper ginkgo]

Why not just loot run oli as a scav? easy money

[surreal karma]

my scav just died

[verbal wedge]

lol

i get my SCAV in 1 minute

and my ass is goin FACTORY

also serious question

[surreal karma]

im thinking of selling my red chrismas ball to a vender for 7.5k

[verbal wedge]

how do i differentiate scavs from players

cause on my last scav i massacred 8 over scavs without realizing it

[surreal karma]

ill give my red xmas ball to whoever will partner with me, bringing a weapon for me to use.

[verbal wedge]

ok

ill give u a makarov

[bold kernel]

I have a purple christmas ball

Is ti worth anything

[verbal wedge]

put it up your butt

[timber dock]

Is that the dealer trade to get a brown chistmas ball?

[surreal karma]

christmas balls are worth a lot to a veteran player, who can exchange it for powerful weaponry

they were sell-able not too long ago

[spring sand]

is there an lfg chat?

[verbal wedge]

ya

[spring sand]

i dont see one

[verbal wedge]

#pvp-lfg

[bold kernel]

Should I just sell these attetchments off

[amber saffron]

If you’re not gonna use it

If you’re getting a better value on Flea, sell it on that

[bold kernel]

I can probs just buy back when Im making a setup right

for near same price

[amber saffron]

What guns do you use?

[bold kernel]

Ive just been doing a bunch of scav runs

saving up cash

man I'd really like it if my game didnt sutter every time a player model appears in front of me

I could have won almost every engagement i've gotten in these past few days if my computer didnt seize up when an enemy player pops on my screen

Never happens to me

I legit never stutter

It happens to me on COD sometimes though

thats useful

I saw a reddit thread with game settings that are optimized for fps

I can share you them

I copied them

[short forge]

So whats up with just dieing and no sound happening?

just basically tipping over ?

[bold kernel]

try these

@bold kernel

[short forge]

is that dsync?

[bold kernel]

vsync

[short forge]

Sorry that was in response to my question

not his visual options

[bold kernel]

what was your question?

[short forge]

I just died, basically tipped over no sound whats so ever

[bold kernel]

yeah

that happens with headshots

Is there anyw ay to sell this

or do i discard

yes

@bold kernel

repair it

[kind night]

You can also repair it

[bold kernel]

then sell it to skier

[kind night]

^

[bold kernel]

It would be worth the $ spent right

[kind night]

Yep

you'd make some profut

profit

not a lot, but some

[autumn cloak]

is there a voice channel, or only text?

[bold kernel]

Cool, thanks

[stoic grove]

Anyone wanna help me with my Woods Scav quest?

[kind night]

There are voice channels

[bold kernel]

I thought that would make sense since I have the item

[kind night]

@stoic grove the kill scav one?

[stoic grove]

@kind night Yeah im 11/15 but im pretty new and have been getting shit on lol

[kind night]

It's pretty easy, buy some NVGs and do it at night

[autumn cloak]

do we have to do something special to get in those @kind night ?

[kind night]

you wont be bothered

@autumn cloak not sure how the discord works

but #521628660298678283 i think?

Something like that

Accept them or some shit

[stoic grove]

yeah accept the rules to join the other channels

i just did it

[autumn cloak]

ah.. gotcha.. ty all

[kind night]

@stoic grove but yeah, NVGs are your friends for that kind of raids

Not a whole lot of people at night woods

and if you die to a scav chances are youll get your shit back in insurance

also, NVGs are fairly cheap and you can almost always get your money back

[stoic grove]

Alright ill try it out i guess in a bit

[kind night]

Yeah dude, if you have any questions @ me no problem

[bold kernel]

pro tip for woods kills

camp scav house

[azure lagoon]

Are they gonna add like lvl based matchmaking? I keep getting melted by fully geared players

[bold kernel]

and sniper mountain

Nope

[azure lagoon]

so hard lol

[bold kernel]

NOKturnul that would break immersion

and we wouldnt want that

would we?

[daring terrace]

Leg meta

[bold kernel]

scopion

hear me out

Ive got a theory

[azure lagoon]

idk im new its hard to learn when fully geared guys are melting me lol

[bold kernel]

leg meta

is just the beginning

its really a bait

to get us to use remington snipers

on the legs

only to learn remingtons headshot

if you aim at legs

because of wonky drop off

when they have no sight

[rich cloak]

But why would you legmeta with a sniper?

[daring terrace]

Yeah I still go for heads no matter the helmet armor set up if I have to engage, honestly I don’t engage u less I have to or they are in an area I need to go to

[kind night]

Avoid players @azure lagoon try building up an economy for the first couple of levels

And yeah

[daring terrace]

^

[kind night]

leggin people is good

but painting the wall w/ their brain matter is more effective

aim for the face

[daring terrace]

My first several hours I avoided ppl mostly looted what I could and got put

Out*

[kind night]

most people w/ FS have ll3 armor

and most cheaper rifle ammo like PS 762 should pen and kill

It's also pretty subjective

[bold kernel]

best way to play is passive aggressive

[azure lagoon]

I gotta get better at avoiding people lol the last 3 times ive died have been from opening doors and people just camping

[bold kernel]

NOKturnul

[kind night]

If you have a shotgun for example aim for legs

@azure lagoon takes a while to get the hang of the game

[rich cloak]

@bold kernel I love throwing mean looks towards my enemys too

[junior yacht]

so i spawned in as a scav and got the sa58

should i try staying alive as much as possible?

[bold kernel]

Drago

[kind night]

its normal that you're getting shat on

[rich cloak]

@junior yacht yeah

[kind night]

@junior yacht they're not supeeeer rare

[bold kernel]

I just spam my mumble keybind

[junior yacht]

hmm

[bold kernel]

till they spam back

[rich cloak]

Oh God oh fuck

[junior yacht]

i only seen it twice on a scav

[kind night]

but if you're running low on guns play it safe

[junior yacht]

my friend said it was a great gun

[kind night]

it's an amazing gun

[bold kernel]

what gun?

[junior yacht]

sa58 aus

[kind night]

M80 is stupidly good ammo

[daring terrace]

I love them, have several decked out in my stash

[kind night]

FAL

[bold kernel]

oh

[rich cloak]

It is but the ammo its loaded with now is bad

[azure lagoon]

yea im runnin reallll low lol

[kind night]

Rhodesian FAL is my budget build preference

[bold kernel]

ok

look

[kind night]

it's really deadly

[junior yacht]

i got a few aks in my stash was gonna save up for when my friends get the game

[bold kernel]

you might not wanna hear this

but worst comes to worst

[kind night]

Dont save them up dude

Gear comes and goes

[bold kernel]

just reset your account

[kind night]

use it

[azure lagoon]

Oh you can reset?

[kind night]

Yeah

[bold kernel]

yes but only once

in a while

[glossy pumice]

How do I move items to my hotkeys?

[kind night]

In the website

[bold kernel]

ownsin

[junior yacht]

oh and i did a dum dum, got 3 scav kills on factory thought i completed p guy's first quest

[bold kernel]

[kind night]

[bold kernel]

[junior yacht]

[kind night]

and press 4 or 5 or whatever

@glossy pumice

[bold kernel]

press 4-0

[glossy pumice]

Ah

[bold kernel]

over the item

[azure lagoon]

Oh I will def wait on that, I just started yesterday lol I know I got a lot to learn just wondering if its normally this hard

[glossy pumice]

I can do the same for weapons?

[bold kernel]

it has to be in a pocket

or vest

no

[glossy pumice]

I can change which number they are?

[kind night]

@azure lagoon It's normal my dude

[junior yacht]

also i seem to always bump into thicc duo boys

[kind night]

Youll get the hang of the game

[junior yacht]

in customs

[kind night]

If you guys have questions @ me

im having a coffee

[bold kernel]

just be careful lol

[daring terrace]

Duos isn’t bad, they’ll be more worried about killing each other use it to your advantage if you engage them, cause you’re not teamed up

[azure lagoon]

Does this game make anyone else shit themselves? I might have to go buy adult diapers

[kind night]

Yep

been playing since '17

[bold kernel]

@kind night will you do killa quest for me?

[kind night]

still shit myself when i get jumped

[azure lagoon]

hahaha

[daring terrace]

No but it is the first game where I felt complete control hidden and get slapped out of nowhere, definitely makes me jump lol

[bold kernel]

oml I got jumped by the guy

who did the 100 killa kills first

[kind night]

Some streamer AFAIK

[bold kernel]

the guy who finished it first jumped me on factory and I never saw it coming

his name is KillaKiller

[junior yacht]

im kinda having a gear fear atm

[bold kernel]

potato

[junior yacht]

the best weapon i brought in with my main guy is a mp9

[bold kernel]

potato

[junior yacht]

i got no armour left

[bold kernel]

[junior yacht]

like 20k? but im not able to buy it from trader yet

[bold kernel]

potato

[junior yacht]

[bold kernel]

excuse my language

[junior yacht]

[bold kernel]

yes

nuts and bolts

[junior yacht]

i literally just unlocked flea yesterday lmao

[bold kernel]

25k

each

[azure lagoon]

Whats the best way to make mulahhhh

[junior yacht]

[kind night]

Scav runs

tech runs in interchange

night time woods scav farming

[bold kernel]

did you all forget?

[junior yacht]

also do you guys strafe when ads shooting someone?

[kind night]

No

[bold kernel]

Night time factory scav farming

10/10

with a gun to level recoil

or gun stats

easiest way to get gun exp

[junior yacht]

does no one play factory night time?

[daring terrace]

Did once by accident lol

[sand kindle]

are there any oce sherpas?

[short forge]

Worst luck on woods at night to get jagers message :/

[timber dock]

Note to self, check hydration and energy before starting a raid.

[sonic lake]

yikes

night factory is a hit or miss

its either low gears looking to farm scavs

or sweats looking to farm low gears

[timber violet]

Quick question, you know how you can upgrade the stash in the hideout, if you buy the most expensive version of the game is the stash max level by default?

or does it still appear as level one and keep increasing in size as it levels up

[feral radish]

hey im new anyone wanna play ?

[tepid fossil]

I think i'm addicted to this game

time to drop apex

[open basin]

im addicted to this game too

[viscid kestrel]

Hi, Im new to EFT and wondering if i can team up with anyone in game

[stark coyote]

@viscid kestrel #521628660298678283 #news-setup #pvp-lfg In that order :p

[blissful shale]

im new to the game i have issues finding the extractions and my stash is running low anyone wanna help me learn the ways of the eft jedi way

[short forge]

how good or bad are smoke gernadeS?

[tepid fossil]

Wait so after a certain amount of time offline your health just resets itself back up to full?

@bold kernel

[untold arch]

u can be online too

it slowly regens

[timber dock]

Regen speed can be improved by upgrading your hideouts as well.

[tepid fossil]

Oh

Thanks

[potent meteor]

Super nooby, anyone want to hold my hand?

[meager girder]

can someone with mosin experience join my stream and help me understand some things? will take 1-2 mins tops

[fickle kettle]

@tepid fossil or heal for free exp

[tepid fossil]

[fickle kettle]

what free exp is good

[tepid fossil]

Oh by the way what should i do with my hideout

Don't have enough meds

[fickle kettle]

stop being broke ig

[tepid fossil]

I

I'll try

[fickle kettle]

you should

[tepid fossil]

Oh by the way

what's the point of being pmc if you already have scavs to loot for ya

@fickle kettle

[fickle kettle]

pmc for exp

and the gun fight

[tepid fossil]

Ohh

[fickle kettle]

and ofc pmc can have better gear than scav

[tepid fossil]

Trueee

[fickle kettle]

pretty sure they just nerf scav ammo, they wont spawn with high tier ammo anymore

[tepid fossil]

Oof\

[warped dust]

So I found an East Wing Key and from what I can tell it's useless since the door it's for is always open? this could be outdated tho

Should I just sell it? Therapist is offering 200k for it

[fickle kettle]

flea or ther

[warped dust]

Lvl 4 rn so I guess I know where I'm tossing it

[fickle kettle]

you should

keep that until unlock

flea first

or you can just tell me the room number

[warped dust]

216?

[fickle kettle]

ya 200k

[warped dust]

Stonks

[stoic grove]

How do i get a better Pouch? got the alpha one currently

[amber saffron]

you can buy it from Peacekeeper or upgrade your game edition

[stoic grove]

Hm how do I level him just spend dollars? Damn thats a lot lol

[warped dust]

It's like bartering and doing quests to raise rep right?

[fickle kettle]

ya

[stoic grove]

This guide said to just buy dollars from peacekeeper and resell them to level

But i can't sell the 1k dollars i bought on the flea

[novel river]

How do I get maps of the areas?

[amber saffron]

is PS ammo good?

[stoic grove]

@novel river the game wiki just type the map name in google and scroll down

[novel river]

cool thanks

[amber saffron]

or the PP

[stoic grove]

What should i spend dollars on?

[fickle kettle]

@amber saffron which caliber ?

@stoic grove in the end game

[amber saffron]

5.45x39

[sturdy hill]

uh

do i get to keep gear i get as a scav? or can u not escape as a scav?

just bought the game, ive gone full retard

[fickle kettle]

BS>BT>BP

[amber saffron]

i dont think i can buy any of those from the traders yet

[fickle kettle]

@sturdy hill you can escape as a scav and you can keep the gear you get from the scav

you should use BP

[sturdy hill]

ok so, if its my first time ever, should i wait the timer and play as a scav then?

[amber saffron]

alright thanks @fickle kettle

[fickle kettle]

ya you could do that

cause you lose notthing when playing scav

beside your time

[sturdy hill]

kk

[amber saffron]

what are the always open extracts on customs?

[upbeat flax]

the ones without a ? by them

[sharp bough]

morning guys, i have typically gone for penis helmet as its cheap and a good level of protection

what would be the next step up in terms of protection etc but still affordable

with a faceshield ideally

[upbeat flax]

with a faceshield?

[sharp bough]

sure, to stop scavs 1 tapping me with a shotgun from 50meters 😄

NIKITA PLEASE DYUUUDE

[upbeat flax]

well. you can go for a kiver, hinders hearing and is still lvl 3 with a low ricotche chance

but it has a faceshield

[sharp bough]

does it have a faceshield ?

[upbeat flax]

yes

[sharp bough]

whats that called

[upbeat flax]

...

Kiver-M Faceshield

just link search the kiver

[sharp bough]

allright mate

thanks

kiver helmet is level 3

[upbeat flax]

mhm

i mentioned that

[sharp bough]

you certainly did

what a guy

cant wear comtacs with kiver ?

comtacs are life

[sharp bough]

okay, what would be your next option

level 4 helmet

with shield

comtacs allowed

[upbeat flax]

oo.

FAST MTs went down in price

LVL 4 with acces to a multi-hit faceshgield

and comtacs.

[sharp bough]

you are a bit sexy

fair play

thanks mate

[upbeat flax]

no problem

tip : Don't buy the fast headset attachment

it's a headset attachment for the helmets but you just add more price onto the helmet

and like 2x as expensive as comtacs

[sharp bough]

okay gotcha

so what do you go for

visor and chaps ?

[upbeat flax]

FAST MT, correct?

[sharp bough]

yes

side and face

[upbeat flax]

uhhh

side armor covers your ears

[sharp bough]

ah

fuck

okay

[upbeat flax]

chops is Airframe

[tepid fossil]

Ello

[upbeat flax]

but doesn't cover ears

[tepid fossil]

What's the hideout for

[sharp bough]

so fast mt

[tepid fossil]

[sharp bough]

just face shield ?

[fickle kettle]

for you to sleep

[upbeat flax]

alright

[tepid fossil]

Sleep

[upbeat flax]

yeah.

[fickle kettle]

and hide

[tepid fossil]

[fickle kettle]

ez

[upbeat flax]

alrgiht so actually

[tepid fossil]

Then there's no need for a hideout

[upbeat flax]

in the hideout you can upgrade many different things to craft items already in the game

increase out of raid healing rate

get free lot

food and water regen

[upbeat flax]

crafting moonshine.

@sharp bough first off, why reshade

wrong faceshield

[sharp bough]

@upbeat flax not using reshade

[upbeat flax]

search for multi-hit

[fickle kettle]

@tepid fossil wow you dont need to sleep and hide ?

[sharp bough]

no reshade on here mate

[fickle kettle]

[sharp bough]

it doesnt work with battleeye

[upbeat flax]

i... know?

i still hate the programs that do that shit

[tepid fossil]

No not that @fickle kettle

[upbeat flax]

they're as bad as reshade to me

[tepid fossil]

I mean

why

[sharp bough]

okay

[upbeat flax]

why what

[tepid fossil]

Why do you need to upgrade your hideout

[upbeat flax]

coo.

[sharp bough]

wrong helmet ? 😮

[upbeat flax]

so you just ignored my message where i explained it

[tepid fossil]

Oh i didn't

i was alt tabbing

SORRYY

[upbeat flax]

Strafe, not wrong helmet

multi-hit ballistic faceshield

or something

[fickle kettle]

[tepid fossil]

Let me scroll up

[upbeat flax]

please don't make me get on tarkov.

[tepid fossil]

Ohoo i see

Thanks @upbeat flax

[upbeat flax]

i can guide you through all the features

in a quick VC

[fickle kettle]

dont forget you can sleep and hide on hideout

[tepid fossil]

please do

Shush up @fickle kettle

[sharp bough]

got it @upbeat flax thanks x

[fickle kettle]

wdh man

[upbeat flax]

come to begginer assistance VC

[fickle kettle]

nein

[bold kernel]

should i sell all those hoses?

[upbeat flax]

they're cheapo

[sturdy hill]

i have tremors in my head, does morphine, painkiller or propital remove it?

[bronze marsh]

if i spawn in as a scav and make a break to the extraction will i keep the loot i start with?

[fallen crane]

yes @bronze marsh

[bold kernel]

@upbeat flax but what should i do?

[sharp bough]

@upbeat flax AVS or 6B3TM-01M

[teal ravine]

i can play tarkov. but i cant select any servers

[sharp bough]

and does difference in materials make a difference, or is it purely on the hit points ?

[teal ravine]

its been like this for 6 weeks for me

[coarse plaza]

can tasks not been done as a scav, doesnt even show up any in the tab?

[timber dock]

Yup, quests/tasks are PMC only.

[upbeat flax]

scavs are only for loot and money

basically

tho

the things you get on scavs count as found in raid for quests that require that

[coarse plaza]

fair enough ty

Does shooting another player scav aggro scavs? Pretty sure it has for me before but it didnt for some guy who shot me

[fickle kettle]

yes

[coarse plaza]

I was surrounded by like 5 scavs and he shot me and none of them went for him, luckily managed to get him, was caught off guard thinking i was protected

[grand elm]

Haha unfortunately not, @coarse plaza

This games basically KOS

[amber saffron]

why do we have so many quests on customs 😩

[tepid fossil]

God scavs are kind of scary

They wave at ya

Like npc scavs

[fickle kettle]

@tepid fossil vonna cyka

[bold kernel]

how to buy full fuel?

dude

every fuel i buy

is just a tank

[fallen crane]

inspect the item before you buy and see the resource on it, if it says 0 then its empty

[fickle kettle]

Jaeger

[amber saffron]

jaeger level 2

[fickle kettle]

or rain in the nutshell

[amber saffron]

full fuels rn are very expensive

you can loot them on oli (interchange) however

[fickle kettle]

interchange and reserve

[amber saffron]

so for The survivalist path - Thrifty do i just go in the bunker and drop the items?

[fickle kettle]

ya

there should be a broken wood crate

go near them and you see a bar show up

"place"

[amber saffron]

i see

thanks

[fickle kettle]

that will be 5$ sir

[boreal yew]

lol

spoken like a true scav @fickle kettle

[fickle kettle]

vonna cyka

[grand elm]

Also, for the “protect” you don’t actually have to stay there and watch it. It just means “protect it from others stealing it”

Don’t risk watching it for 30 seconds, just dip.

[fickle kettle]

no i remember he have to hold they key

[upbeat flax]

markers and jammers (i think) are placeables that you place with a 2 sec animation and have to stay alive for 30 seconds

while most normal items have to be held the plant key for ___ seconds

[sturdy hill]

how do i look at "quests"

[bold kernel]

How do I get good

[boreal yew]

THIS ^^^^

[sturdy hill]

meh

[fickle kettle]

@sturdy hill wiki or go to trader

you will see tab name "task"

[boreal yew]

does SCAV runs level you up as well or only PMC runs count for XP level ???

[fickle kettle]

and you can see what task you have take in your character too

only PMC

[boreal yew]

[fickle kettle]

Scav only give you money "vonna cyka"

[boreal yew]

RIP all loot today

[sturdy hill]

so i guess i gotta accept quests before going in a raid

[fickle kettle]

no shet

[boreal yew]

gotta get to level 5 by all means

[upbeat flax]

dude

scav interchange

is the weirdest shit

[bold kernel]

Spawned in with a lab keycard as a Scav today lol

Got lucky!

[upbeat flax]

well, that's just "easy" money

interchange gets fucking freaky

like, freaky freaky

[bold kernel]

Also hit up 2 story dorm room for hella shit

[upbeat flax]

i spawned in the back of oli to find 2 fully geared dudes that traded

[bold kernel]

Got a scared to go to 3 story so I dipped

[upbeat flax]

2 story is only worth with keys

[bold kernel]

I found them

[upbeat flax]

i mean

not any 2 story key

these rooms have safes in them

[bold kernel]

I went into 114

[upbeat flax]

pog

[bold kernel]

Yuh

I'm a retard though cause I left the 114 key

[upbeat flax]

[bold kernel]

I forgot I could extract with it and put it on my PMC

Into the alpha shit

[upbeat flax]

e

[bold kernel]

What happens if you die as a PMC with the alpha pouch thing and you don't have space in the inventory

[upbeat flax]

what?

[bold kernel]

I found out today when you die with the alpha container you keep it

How does that work?

[upbeat flax]

yeah

that's the point

it's a secure container

[bold kernel]

Does it go straight back into inventory

[upbeat flax]

anything you put iin there you keep

[bold kernel]

Stash

[upbeat flax]

it will just be in your container

[lapis mauve]

it stays in the container until you move it

[bold kernel]

Aahhh

I see

Got the game 3 days ago

Really into it :)

[surreal karma]

would someone mind buying an "AKMP system rear sight device" from prapor LL2 and placing it on the flea market?

[upbeat flax]

no worries, but like. if i die with this, i will just keep the container and the items in it, in the exact same place, durability, ETC

@surreal karma it's prapor lvl 2....

[sick halo]

The hell does that mean?

[upbeat flax]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bold kernel]

Is there a guide for leveling up your traders

[upbeat flax]

i mean

just do quests

[bold kernel]

Ok

[upbeat flax]

there are 3 factors

money spent, level and rep

[sturdy hill]

is there a way to tell if i killed an AI or real player? are all ai dressed the same or nah

[bold kernel]

Dogtags

Movement

[fickle kettle]

@sturdy hill you tell by the way they walk

[sturdy hill]

mkay

[upbeat flax]

Scavs - no pouch slot
Player scavs - Pouch slot at the bottom
players - dogtag

and clothes

/ face

[bold kernel]

AI have different gear sometimes

[upbeat flax]

scavs usually don't have very weird weapons

like modded guns or Thermals ETC

[bold kernel]

I was wondering if you do a run with a Sherpa if you get to keep what you get

[upbeat flax]

yeah

you do

[bold kernel]

Like how does that thing work

[upbeat flax]

basically

[bold kernel]

I read the game sends you a kit or something

[upbeat flax]

you get a time with a sherpa

yeah

[bold kernel]

Can't you abuse that

[upbeat flax]

when you request a sherpa on the site you get to choose a kit

you can abuse that

but..

i mean

you might get a kit

cough

@split vapor

[full harbor]

if you buy the game, do you get to join the game straight away or you have to wait for next beta?

[upbeat flax]

MIGHT

Abdul

[sturdy hill]

games weird, theres no way to tell how many ppl r in your raid right?

[upbeat flax]

what are we playing right now

how

[bold kernel]

?

[dense lotus]

One kit per style, there is a few to chose from

[upbeat flax]

you get to join instantly

the sherpa kits don't work half the time

[fickle kettle]

@sturdy hill that is the fun of the game

the unexpected

[upbeat flax]

still haven't got my kit after 3 days after the raid

[bold kernel]

Are there like factions?

[upbeat flax]

these are the kits

[dense lotus]

You can’t continue getting free kits.. the kits are in the process of being upgraded atm. They will be a lot better

[bold kernel]

@sturdy hill I learned that if you check time and it's low then most ppl if not all have already extracted

[upbeat flax]

i mean

[fickle kettle]

wrong

[sturdy hill]

alright, how would I cehck time tho lmao

[upbeat flax]

O

[fickle kettle]

if you think like that in reserve or interchange

you are dead man

[grand elm]

There’s a way to approximate, yes. But it’s not as accurate on some maps as it is on other. “fps 2” in console. Look at NET MS

[upbeat flax]

no

[sturdy hill]

i dont even know where the extraction points are, should I google the extraction points or are they random everytime?

[upbeat flax]

extract are preset

[grand elm]

Google a map.

[upbeat flax]

look up a map, yes

[bold kernel]

Upgraded as in getting better gear?

[upbeat flax]

probably

the kits suck right now

only thing worth while is like the AVS from the usec assault

[bold kernel]

Is there like a limit to what level you can be

[upbeat flax]

not really

[sturdy hill]

https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/uploads/monthly_2019_01/IMG_20190118_094700.jpg.2057efdd3e70d8d8886e4a29a9df4ea4.jpg

[upbeat flax]

that works

[sturdy hill]

i take it the green dots are the extraction points?

[upbeat flax]

yes

[sturdy hill]

okidoki

[upbeat flax]

double-click O to see whhich ones you have

[bold kernel]

2D one is better tbh

[upbeat flax]

not really

[bold kernel]

3D is easier to locate urself

[upbeat flax]

yeah

[sick halo]

That's an old map, I always use this one https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/4/4f/Customs-2d-by-ROFLWOFFL.png?version=fd92677ba82f7e9ea99c87494736ab2c

[upbeat flax]

which is better for a new player

[sturdy hill]

oh can I only exit through certain points? all i got was a bunch of ???? and some names

[upbeat flax]

niki

keep in mind that this is a new player

[bold kernel]

Names on the left

[upbeat flax]

loot spots don't exactly matter

[grand elm]

Maybe you should make a map.

[full harbor]

shield armor

im trying to buy the game

[upbeat flax]

cumstains is a horrible new paler map

[bold kernel]

Type up what names came up

[full harbor]

but the 25% discouint

is not applying

[upbeat flax]

it is

[sick halo]

I'm level 10, so still pretty new and that was the map I used from start on

[upbeat flax]

vat is a thing

[grand elm]

@full harbor go to #community-support

[full harbor]

34euros

[upbeat flax]

if you're in a country with 25% VAT

[full harbor]

o

[upbeat flax]

you'll pay the same price

[fickle kettle]

feelbadman

[bold kernel]

KEKW

[full harbor]

does the game get activated from steam?

[grand elm]

No

[fickle kettle]

no

[grand elm]

Nothing to do with steam

[bold kernel]

Has its own client

[upbeat flax]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/632202632005550082/660181809673404417/unknown.png

read through it carefully

[bold kernel]

Aren't they planing to port it to steam?

[upbeat flax]

nope?

[sturdy hill]

i read that maybe once its fully out

[upbeat flax]

doubt

[bold kernel]

Ah

[upbeat flax]

or maybe

[bold kernel]

Not ready to go mainstream?

[grand elm]

Yes, they may be going steam once the full release happens.

[upbeat flax]

steam is not really mainsteam anymore

all good games are now split between platforms

which unfourtunately i am a fan of most

so i have to have Origin, battle.net, steam. BSG launcher, PVPLounge and Roblox Launcher

and MW is like 150 gigs

[sturdy hill]

what happens when the time runs out O_o

[upbeat flax]

you go MIA

[full harbor]

so what do i expect when i buy the g ame

do i get emailed a code

or something

[upbeat flax]

no

[sturdy hill]

ah shit

[upbeat flax]

you just... uh

download the launcher

log on

and you're good to download the game

[warped dust]

It will take a moment to process your payment

[grand elm]

Escapefromtarkov.com/profile will be the download link

[full harbor]

ah yes

thanks

[warped dust]

Gl

[full harbor]

[grand elm]

You’re welcome. Also, now that you’re going to be getting into the game, check out #521628660298678283 and #news-setup to gain full access to the discord channel!

[zealous pier]

[grand elm]

@sturdy hill if you use the #wiki-chat channel and do “!wiki customs” (minus quotes) it’ll give you the best info.

[sturdy hill]

aight thanks

i stepped on fire next to the boat to see if it did dmg

cant run now :^)

[grand elm]

Hahahahaha

Well duhhhh 😂

[sturdy hill]

i mean its not that obvious, u cant swim u kno

[grand elm]

Lol

[junior yacht]

is woods a good map to run scav with a sniper + scope?

[grand elm]

Yes

Or reserve personally

[stark coyote]

Woods is like... THE sniper map :p

[grand elm]

Better money potential. Play the outskirts and be cheeky. Try to get some player kills.

[fickle kettle]

the VPO-215 map

[junior yacht]

first time playing woods be like

[grand elm]

Be like... death screen 4 minutes in. Lol

[junior yacht]

true haha

[warped dust]

Oh man my first map was woods, didn't realise it was night time, went in with nothing but a pistol

[junior yacht]

my record for fastest death is like 2 minutes in

[warped dust]

Pain

[junior yacht]

ouch

[grand elm]

Just realize, you’re going into a sniper map, against other snipers.

[warped dust]

Mine is 30 secs xd

[grand elm]

So unless you have m700 or SV-98 scav, don’t go woods

[warped dust]

Ironically woods is the only map I've ever been able to exfil

[junior yacht]

hmm

i escaped like factory and customs both once

[warped dust]

Factory too

I've been trying in Customs but the exfil is always between rocks or railroad for me

Annnd I spawned at train bridge

[upbeat flax]

customs is ass

[sturdy hill]

well

i went to "crossroads" extraction cus the wiki page says its open all the time, not single use, and every faction can use it

yet I can't do anything to extract O_o

[upbeat flax]

do you have crossroads?

[sturdy hill]

uhh do i have to find a key for it?

frick

[junior yacht]

i just go to whatever double tap o shows

[junior yacht]

i find dorms a very dangerous place to hang out around

i had an smg once and there were like 3 or 4 ppl fighting

[upbeat flax]

i had a team fight in dorms once, not fun

[junior yacht]

and then i waited for a bit enemies were still around lmao

[sturdy hill]

ah well

imm too far and only got 9 mins left

rip me

[junior yacht]

RUNNN

[sturdy hill]

cant lul

[junior yacht]

just dont get sniped by scavs :p

oo broken leg?

[sturdy hill]

i took some painkillers to allow me to run, but when i run i lose hp

im just fucked for this one i guess

[warped dust]

Those shotgun snipers gon getcha

[junior yacht]

i had like 3 scavs on me in factory, killed them all but heavy bleeding

ran towards gate 3, a 4th one was waiting

[warped dust]

Always a bigger fish

[grand elm]

Wouldn’t be playing factory if you’re new

[warped dust]

Factory was good to get me used to the games controls tbh

[sturdy hill]

GUESS the painkillers I took were poisoned or some shit lmfao

[warped dust]

And I get lost so easily in bigger maps

[sturdy hill]

i wasnt losing blood or anything, took em to be able to walk faster and then i bled out o-o

[grand elm]

You’re losing health from running on broken or black limbs

[sturdy hill]

what would be the best map to play if im new then

yeah i guess that was it

[grand elm]

Customs or shoreline

Ya, I only say shoreline because others suggest it. I say 100% customs.

[sturdy hill]

ok so

[grand elm]

Just be prepared to run into teams and full geared

[sturdy hill]

when i play i have 2 options of time phases

[grand elm]

But look up a customs stash map and run those for money.

[sturdy hill]

do i pickt he one thats earlier like 7 mins, or later like 19 mins

[grand elm]

Take your time and you won’t run into many people since they’re on the outskirts

[upbeat flax]

cumstains is still a shit map

[junior yacht]

spawned in woods near some big silos

[grand elm]

07 is 7 am

19 is 7 pm

[junior yacht]

idk where im at hahaha

[grand elm]

It’s military time

[sturdy hill]

oh

its time of day

didnt know what it meant

[grand elm]

Lol

[upbeat flax]

hm

i'm guessing you're american?

[warped dust]

Ah yes as we all know

[sturdy hill]

yeah, but I know military time

i just didnt know its what i tmeant

[warped dust]

Americans go by their own time system

[upbeat flax]

[sturdy hill]

thought it meant like... how long the session i was joining was in progress or some shit

[warped dust]

Can't fault you on that

[upbeat flax]

Norway is america but scandinavian

[warped dust]

We do

[sturdy hill]

ooki

[junior yacht]

whats this place in woods called with the big silos

[grand elm]

!wiki woods

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Woods

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Woods

Woods is a location in Escape from Tarkov. It is the third location that was added to the game.

[junior yacht]

nope nvm 3 man team just sniped me

F

i thought i hit one with the vpo215?

yeah i had the map open

but i still cant tell where i am XD

[grand elm]

It takes tons

Time **

[junior yacht]

was trying it out with my scav sniper guy

XD

[full harbor]

what does this mean, i havent ticked the offline mode box

[warped dust]

PvE or Empty

You don't keep anything from it tho

[upbeat flax]

also

that popup is always there

it warns you IF you tick it

[full harbor]

oh ok

also

how do i get the m aps

for areas

buy or just play and then find it?

[upbeat flax]

the actual maps are useless

just look up an online map

[warped dust]

Scav aggros is so actually inconsistent

[junior yacht]

i find having the map on phone works quite well

that is if u dont have a 2nd monitor

[warped dust]

I wish it was clearly if they were aggro or not but honestly kinda my own fault for running right into mr.gasmasks face

[junior yacht]

sometimes they rush me like no tomorrow but could be player controlled scavs

some just stand there and let me shoot

[warped dust]

Oh yeah I know

I just spawned in is all

And player scavs usually don't yell

[junior yacht]

theres no way to tell if a scav is player controlled?

[warped dust]

Some do

Most don't

[junior yacht]

ohh

[upbeat flax]

as a scav bosses will tell you go away

if you don't

you get shot

[junior yacht]

so like all the yelling in factory is just those AIs

[warped dust]

I also know AI Scavs will respond to taunts

[junior yacht]

ahh

[amber saffron]

Best 7.62x51 ammo?

[junior yacht]

are people likely to take an ak74m if i die?

[waxen marten]

Being a controller player and moving to KBM for this came is an insane learning curve

[junior yacht]

im kinda tempting to just bring it out

[warped dust]

Oh yeah same dude

I'm pretty good on controllers but have been working on my KBM shit

[junior yacht]

oh i suck even on mnk

coming from siege and csgo

[quaint osprey]

When you are at awaiting session start for 13 minutes should you forceclose app?

[junior yacht]

i have a reflex on it thats about it

[waxen marten]

I have found a few xbox elite mapping setups i may try that work for tarkov..

[junior yacht]

i havent really brought out any rifles yet

[waxen marten]

but the game still fun as is. just alot to learn.

[junior yacht]

just endless scav runs

ahh

so see one just hold down mouse 1?

ahh

i once had to vs a pmc at extraction with a mosin -_-

[warped dust]

Winnable

[junior yacht]

died haha

[warped dust]

Clearly

They got lucky

[junior yacht]

close range

eh just bad timing

and then in factory i was almost at the exit and some scav decided to pop me

it was a bot scav too im so sad

i think i was at sub 100hp after a fight with 3 or 4 scavs

[warped dust]

God I had a moment like that earlier

I went into customs with nothing

Found a pistol

Then got a Scav with a headshot

[upbeat shuttle]

Does anyone know why other players are so laggy for me ?

flicking around the screen

[warped dust]

Then another with the AK I got off that guy,

Only to get sniped by a scav with a shotgun

[junior yacht]

F

[warped dust]

At least 100 metres

[junior yacht]

scavs can be amazing at times lmao

[warped dust]

I lit him up with the AK too and he just wouldn't go down

[junior yacht]

always get my heart racing when character is bleeding like no tomorrow and exits nearby

[warped dust]

I honestly just wish I had someone to just chill with

I've been watching this one guy, learned a bit from his friends teaching him and just was like "Dang, wish I had friends"

[sturdy hill]

i take it u cant climb ladders?

[warped dust]

Mama always warned me about that

[charred berry]

Not sure how swapping tactical rig while in raid really works. Tried unequipping all the items and it still says "no suitable slot found or something"

[junior yacht]

@warped dust wish my high level friend will help me out haha

[warped dust]

I would be happy with someone who knew just as much as me, unfortunately the whole "Lose it all" bit makes it kinda intimidating

[junior yacht]

oh yes

also why i havent brought a rifle out on my main character yet

F

[warped dust]

I still have the starting Kalash cuz I'm just too paranoid

Sounds chill

[junior yacht]

should i not fear losing gear

i only have 700k

[upbeat flax]

if you can make money back

and fast

don't fear much

[patent arrow]

Anybody got the reserve static spawns somewhere?

[warped dust]

Also don't even get me started on the free SVD

I'm gonna take that shit to my grave

Or the next wipe

Whichever comes first

[upbeat flax]

@patent arrow

one at Stage's tower, one in E1 corner, 1 in E2 corner / mountain, one at Back barracks, one at Road to Dome

[patent arrow]

Tyvm ❤️

So I take it that Dome spawn gets the gauranteed spawnkill on E1 or is that stage

And dome for north too?

[upbeat flax]

usually what happens is

fucking hell..

Stage always bullies E2

well

always depends

usually

[patent arrow]

That's a easy way to lose a raid then

[upbeat flax]

Dome spawn is either a 2+ man sniper squad that rushes to dome

or it's a hatchling that runs down to west pawn for marked

[primal heath]

This game is so damn confusing at first

[patent arrow]

Yea

[upbeat flax]

by stage i mean the guy

[patent arrow]

That's part of the fun

[upbeat flax]

Stage's tower is his tower because he always sits on the MG and gets kills

[patent arrow]

There's a marked room in west pawn?

[primal heath]

How does the ammo work in this game? (I am confused, just got the game)

[patent arrow]

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

ammo values

[patent arrow]

I use this multiple times a day

[upbeat flax]

RB-BK and RB-VO is marked

[torn widget]

What do i do when i press o and no extractions show up :\

[upbeat flax]

double click o

[torn widget]

I do

[patent arrow]

[torn widget]

But nothing shows up
