i do have a lot now ill do that thanks

scarlet breach
#

are the twitch drops permanent? or just until wipe wipe

waxen forge
#

Until wipe

#

Wipe resets all items back to the day you bought the game

royal wind
#

Traders too. Wipe is a complete reset.

jagged pasture
#

can anyone help a noob make some cash and items. I can barely complete a raid

waxen forge
#

Scav interchange. Loot PC in Olie and Goshan. Tech store by olie. Exfil. Sell it all

#

Don't fight. Don't go looking for a fight

#

Avoid

#

If you have flea sell the PC contents to Flea if higher price offered than Therapist

royal wind
#

I like to look for the killa carnage these days when I join Interchange.

waxen forge
#

You can make 200K easy running the PC's on interchange

royal wind
#

Yeah, it's purely for gear, not money lol
I hoard.

#

It's an illness.

waxen forge
#

It happens

#

As long as you know your problem....hoard away

royal wind
#

I'll go for that shiny kitted AK over a graphics card any day of the week. Even though, in my head I know the card is worth more and easier to carry.

Fuck this game dude. I put 7k in my dcs case for v dorms extraction and after I kill 3 pmcs I dont have the money to exit. My money in the docs case went to the fucking insurance and I died bca of that

waxen forge
#

Yes.

#

Honestly I never mess with paid exfil

tribal cove
#

And it was a good raid too... Until I couldnt exit

waxen forge
#

But if you intend to use it....after insurance make sure you still have enough $ in gamma

long spear
#

paid exfil can be convenient

waxen forge
#

Can be

#

Rarely ever use it though

#

And I only check ? exfil if they are on the way to Guaranteed.....

long spear
#

same, especially since i dont marked room run

steady pilot
#

Money is always pulled from character first

#

You learn once

#

As with many things in this game

tribal cove
#

The thing is that I planned the round with that exfil in mind..

royal wind
#

Yeah, that paid exfil for dorms is clutch when you pull a weapon case from marked room.

tribal cove
#

All I got from that raid is 900 rup and a marked key ...

long spear
#

well this is a game where you learn from your mistakes lol

waxen forge
#

Then need to plan to replace $ in gamma after insurance

steady pilot
#

Such is life in the zone

tribal cove
#

Hopefully I get my insured stuff back

#

I did a lot of mistakes that resulted me losing the round, but at least I learned. The harsh way

steady pilot
#

Everyone does

long spear
#

except me

tribal cove
#

Well, if I get my insured stuff back, I guess I could call the raid successful bcs I managed to put a rb bk key in my docs case

#

As a new player to other new players, something I discovered myself. Dont underestimate your jumping, you can do a shit ton of things, get so many places by jumping.

prime ermine
#

Yeah you can use some nasty fast flanks to kill people

#

You might mess up your legs but if someones pushing up stairs you can usually jump out of a window behind them and destroy the squad

amber saffron
#

Yeah

tribal cove
#

@trim herald true. I did a quick scav run and got 50k out of it and I feel better now

#

do any of the traders sell ps or do i have to buy it from the flea market

trim herald
#

Prapor should, or Skier. I forget which

bold kernel
#

i meant bp lol

waxen forge
#

Prapor sells 7.62 PS and 5.45 PS

#

BP for both 5.45 and 7.62 would be Prapor but higher level....3 or 4

bold kernel
#

ok ill just use ps for now

split vapor
#

for?

waxen forge
#

Can buy from flea though

split vapor
#

762

trim herald
#

If you search for it on Flea and sort by price you should see traders in there too, and it'll tell you if they're locked for you and what to do to unlock the ammo

split vapor
#

its okay, it just works

#

but get BP if you can

#

or keep a stack in ur case

grand elm
#

BP would be worth it. If I were you, get a top load SKS and keep like 20 in your pockets at a time.

anyone have a problem when you start the game it just stuck on the main desktop?

coral pilot
#

sup bois, what's the best way to learn this game? Know quite a bit now but I feel it would be more fun learning with a more experienced player, anyone up for the job?

waxen forge
#

Best way to learn is to play. Playing with others can be cool

coral pilot
#

ah thanks

waxen forge
#

I'd say stick to 2 or at most 3 man

#

Need good comms

coral pilot
#

I play hunt if that helps lol

waxen forge
#

watch streams. Pestily, DeadlySlob, Markstrom, Klean...and others.

#

Can learn a lot

#

Check out DeadlySlob and Pestily Youtube vids

#

But time is your best friend.

#

Just have to put in the hours

coral pilot
#

Thanks for the info! I'll start looking for players ๐Ÿ™‚

viral ibex
#

why is the mp9 so uncontrollable

trim herald
#

Fire rate, I think the bigger issue is that the ammo it uses is so damn bad

amber saffron
#

@coral pilot Im new, the best advice Ill give you is open the map in your second monitor, go in an offline raid and learn the maps.

steady pilot
#

Cause the mp9 is like an intermediate option inbetween a pistol and mp5

coral pilot
#

@amber saffron yeah I've done that lots, for now I feel quite comfortable in customs and factory

amber saffron
#

Thats nice!

viral ibex
#

it has so much recoil

amber saffron
#

If you'd like to play sometime, im down

viral ibex
#

i dont think thats realistic

#

i saw a guy on youtube go full auto and he was pretty accurate

trim herald
#

I'm assuming it was someone with practice using one though, or at least other fully automatic weapons

waxen forge
#

He could have been compensating for recoil. He could have increased skills which helps with recoil

trim herald
#

He's talking about a guy irl I think, @waxen forge

waxen forge
#

Gotcha

trim herald
#

Now I've never fired anything in full auto, and the 9mm cartridge doesn't have a lot of recoil to it, but I can imagine that the fire rate would accumulate the recoil to a point where you'd have to compensate actively for it and without practice it would be fairly inaccurate

#

However if you know how to control the recoil in Tarkov and/or have good soft skills, like max'd recoil control, the MP9 isn't too bad. It just has shit ammo

coral pilot
#

@amber saffron I'll give your offer in serious consideration!! I'm going to play a few scav rounds now to get the hang of it then I might write you a message. If not today we might even play some other time

amber saffron
#

Sure, ill be busy later today and im leaving in 5. Some other time sounds good.

coral pilot
#

I've got another question: before raids (both as scav and pmc) you get to a screen saying "look for group":

#

do I need to get invited?

trim herald
#

You can tag yourself as LFG and random people who aren't on your friends list can invite you

waxen forge
#

Do NOT party with Rando

coral pilot
#

do I get coupled with other scavs/pmcs based on what I cose?

trim herald
#

You don't need to, and I wouldn't accept anything from randoms

waxen forge
#

Under your character can hit Start looking for group

coral pilot
#

okok I see

waxen forge
#

Its the screen you use to party with friends

#

My rule is If you can't talk to each other then you can't play together

amber saffron
#

So for Signal - Part 1, do I have to find both the signals in one run. Or can i do them each individually? '

coral pilot
#

makes sense

waxen forge
#

Individual

trim herald
#

Individually, and if you die after finding the antennae you still keep the progress

amber saffron
#

Same question for Farming - Part 1

waxen forge
#

!wiki Farming Part 1

broken quailBOT
trim herald
#

Individually again, and the progress sticks

amber saffron
#

Thanks

trim herald
#

So if you do one per run, and die afterwards, it's fine but you'll have to successfully extract at some point, so it's three individual objectives that are tracked separately

shadow solstice
#

If I'm playing as a scav, how do I distinguish players from other scav?

waxen forge
#

Movement....if they have a weapon on back...are they looting

#

Are they in areas scavs don't travel

can you upgrade standard cases without upgrading tarkov edition?

waxen forge
trim herald

You can get bigger cases from trades or quests yes

waxen forge

You can upgrade safe case via tasks

cannot do kill tasks as a scav

#

do you get anything extra from doing optional in tasks? or just exp

trim herald

Yeah, you can find items needed for quests as a scav, but you cannot fulfil any quest objectives as a scav

Usually just xp

cool

Nothing extra for doing the optional things in quests, they're just supposed to guide you to what you need to do in the quest

Do you know how much does that cost?

@torn stirrup 160k+ generally, as it sells for 160k to Therapist with full 50 uses

#

I'm at work...can't check flea

Always check Flea vs. therapist for tech, keys, etc

Then 160k to Therapist. It's a rather useful key so I'd keep it unless you need the cash badly

torn stirrup
#

Ill wait i guess

trim herald
#

Honestly you'll generally get more for that key to trader because of the fee the fleamarket takes

I sell weapons to traders.

I ll sell it cause im not gonna go factory till like
10 lvl

I sell most of my stuff to traders. As a new player i need to level then up.

I sell some tech to Flea and other tech to Therapist...depending on price difference. I'll take a 1000 ruble loss if i can sell a bunch of stuff immediately vs. 3 at a time on flea.

Not risking your gear. Can get a free kit (what the scav has) and loot

Ai scavs won't shoot you unless you agro them

o so u can be scav, extract on factory

#

and transfer loot

#

to main chr

waxen forge

Yes

Can scav and exfil on any map...then move everything from scav body to stash and it's yours

Wouldn't waste scav on factory though

No loot on that map

#

Not saying it's High tier

But you can make 300K easy just looting PC's

Slow and steady

bold kernel
#

hence why I said mediocre without keys

waxen forge
#

yea can go get roller and bitcoin or ledx

#

But I make plenty of $ running "mediocre' runs

trim herald
#

Interchange is solid for scavving, lots of high value loot. Shoreline is really nice too if you have a backpack, just hitting all the hidden caches

bold kernel
#

Yeah I don't doubt that there's some good stuff on certain maps, it's just that I'd rather use my scav on blasting some kids on factory and then go back to shoreline resort on my pmc and make some bonk

waxen forge
#

To each their own. Nothing wrong with your perspective.

#

Yea it can be fun to use scav as just an opportunity to shoot stuff

#

I just usually tell noobs to use it to make $ since so many rookies are broke with no guns

bold kernel
#

Yeah good point, scav runs are literally free loot after all

waxen forge
#

Once you get a handle on the game then options open up

Just so many people come in here saying they are flat broke and have nothing in stash.

bold kernel

If you go IN with a pistol then I shouldn't bother

PACA?

waxen forge
#

Helmets are a money pit. You will die wearing a good - High tier helmet more than it will save you.

long spear
#

i dont recommend penis helmet either really, maybe paca though

trim herald
#

@slate tulip penis helmet is solid, I tend to not bother with a hat though. Anything less than lvl 3 doesn't really make any difference armour-wise

waxen forge
#

YES it will save you some...but not as many times as you will die wearing one

long spear
#

if you are running a truly budget loadout i dont think penis helmet will save you money in the long run

bold kernel
#

Listen

#

the common ideaology

#

is most guns will kill in 1 headshot

#

unless its tier 4

#

only thing worth running is penis helmet

So I should just bring body armor

Oh btw

servers are back up

#

Don't wear Paca, if you're gonna run armor you might as well go for 6B5-15

#

1 minute wait for customs

#

Will cost you like 30k and you got Tier 4 armor and a rig in 1

#

Do budget loadouts not have any armor or hlmet then?

Time of day for the raid

bold kernel
#

Wear a balaclava if you're not wearing a helmet though!

full harbor
#

and why are some places on map

#

locked

waxen forge

Because it's cheap helmet

steady pilot
#

You can earn a helmet in raid, that's fine

yeah its cheap, that doesnt mean its cost effective

#

Just dont buy it

for a budget loadout

I honestly think helmets are a waste

full harbor
#

#

It's pointless to buy, okay to earn and wear

#

But if they want one then penis is cheapest best option

full harbor
#

why is my game

so black

@long spear No but if you're going with a decent loadout and want a hat, it's 13k as opposed to 85k for the Ulach

I got a good money off of a keycard

and sold a fair amount of stuff

Yeah make sure you buy one with enough durability though

Imagine thinking not having ear protection is a good idea if you're spending money on a helmet

Ulach doesnt?

There are 2 versions of ulach

Mich is cheaper than both

No ears on that @steady pilot

Yes there is

Read again bud

There is a an ear hitbbox

trim herald
steady pilot

First of all this arguement over ear protection is bull shit cause again you are more likely to die to face or a penetrating bullet for both

Okay then they changed it cool, it had ear protection before

Its still bull shit

trim herald

It even says on the wiki that it only covers top and nape

Die more often wearing a helmet than the number of times a helmet saves you

They changed it after Initial release, because it definitely did

Must have been too op for its price I guess

Helmet is the last piece of gear I worry about in a loadout

unless its a faceshield for an expensive loadout imo

steady pilot

Helmets save you literally like 5-10% of the time

If I'm spending money on a helmet I may as well get ear protection, if it doesn't do that I may as well not bother. As I incredibly rarely get shot in the back of the head.

Over a long period of time you spend more trying to save yourself with one

honestly depending on how expensive your loadout is any worthwhile helmet is better than none, but u want a faceshield if you are going expensive might as well get

Can't get a lvl 4 face shield and headsets though dude

My perspective is based on a lot of hours. I know I have been saved by a helmet...but I am certain I have died wearing a helmet both good and amazing more times than it has saved me. Overall the helmets have been a waste of $

For a good fucking reason lmfao @trim herald

over half of scavv bullets i have encountered will not penetrate a lvl 3 faceshield

I mean I'm not arguing it's a bad thing, @steady pilot I'm merely stating a fact

face shields

Can't use earphones with a lvl6 faceshield

ouch

Wait, cant you do tier 3 and headset?

steady pilot
#

Yes

#

Tier 3 face shield wont even save you from ps rounds

trim herald
#

@steady pilot Simple, lvl 3 visor won't stop anything above buckshot of basic pistol ammo, making it next to pointless. lvl 4 at least has a chance

#

So I'd argue a headset is way more important

#

So a visor is more to protect from scavs than players

steady pilot
#

Why thefuck you telling me this, I know this already and I still domt know why this is relevant to initial topic

trim herald
#

I know you know that, but you seem to want to argue with me even though I'm agreeing with you

steady pilot

...?

long spear

actually scavs carry ak ammo that wont penetrate lvl 3 faceshields

its not just pistol and shotgun

But on larger maps like Customs or whatnot you'd want to go with AP20's

@waxen forge I agree, Reserve is more fun

steady pilot
#

Unless they late to spawn cause of their toaster

trim herald
#

@charred berry Sometimes

idle bluff
#

They might late spawn but itโ€™s not by too much

open stump
#

ok thanks. noticed there is momentum to my running, and when i want to stop moving i kind of skid. When watching streamers it seems like they dont skid or have much momentum after running, how do I move more efficiently?

waxen forge
#

PMC spawn at the beginning. How close to beginning depends on SSD or HDD and such...but it will be beginning

trim herald
#

That's not really true though Budracin

#

@open stump press q or e right before you stop

trim herald
#

Sometimes you get put on a server after it's started

bold kernel
#

@waxen forge not true

steady pilot
#

By 30nseconds

waxen forge
#

Not typical as PMC

trim herald
#

I've spawned 10 min late once or twice after a 1 min loading screen

bold kernel
#

and I can prove it Budracin

trim herald
#

Also spawned 5 min later several times with a 1 min loading screen

open stump
#

Q or E is lean for me does that matter

steady pilot
#

Were talking like 1-2mins tops

i have joined in as PMC and had only 45 mins left on raid and i am on a m.2

bold kernel
#

SSD's have nothing to do with the load speed as much as ram does

waxen forge
#

May happen occasionally but is not TYPICAL

limber wadi
#

what si the difference between a scav and the regular player?

steady pilot
#

And it's usually because of shitty pcs

long spear
#

@open stump no i told you the default...

bold kernel
#

I load near instant and dont have an SSD

waxen forge
#

SSD sure as hell has something to do with it

steady pilot
#

Scavs are the only thing that spawns after

bold kernel
#

Budracin

#

Ram is better

trim herald
#

Not true though @steady pilot

bold kernel
#

than an SSD

open stump
#

Okay well I changed all my keybinds i wasnt sure if that was still default

steady pilot
#

The general consensus is that ssd is better btw

bold kernel
#

my 4 gigs of ram basically shoots me into the future man

steady pilot
#

There is a huge difference

#

I have had several friends switch

#

And the difference is phenomenal

bold kernel
#

Heres what I've found from playing with people who have SSD's

open stump
#

I run all my games off of portable 2 TB SSDs

waxen forge
#

I've played with HDD guys and they were always last to load in even with equal RAM to us

bold kernel
#

if you have a large amount of ram

waxen forge
#

But i'm not going to argue...pointless

bold kernel
#

and a new harddrive

#

you'll load as fast

#

as an ssd

#

i dont know about this game but increasing ram speed from 2666 to 3200 made me gain 30 fps in pubg

open stump
#

i always beat my friends loading into Hunt: Showdown

trim herald
#

You can easily just look at for example Lvndmarks VODs of his 100 Killa kills. He's got a really good setup and yet occasionally spawned up to 5 min late

Um

steady pilot
#

?

bold kernel
#

steady pilot
#

Lol

bold kernel
#

tarkov does thay

#

*that

#

it happens

glossy pumice
#

My game just errored in the inventory and an entire rig disappeared???

bold kernel
#

ouch

waxen forge
#

Restart game

steady pilot
#

He spawned 5 mins late because of his toaster. Meaning his character was there

open stump
#

RAM shouldnโ€™t really affect load speed, as much as process speed. the SSD/HDD is what delivers the program to your RAM to sit while it runs

charred berry
#

Also im pretty sure it comes down to preference. But what would the ideal group size be? (I guess it also depends largely on map)

steady pilot
#

Just he couldn't operate

modest ermine
#

@glossy pumice restart game usually fixes that

waxen forge
#

2

glossy pumice
#

@modest ermine I'll try doing that

#

Hold on

trim herald
#

@steady pilot Then explain to me how I, or he, can spawn more late than the total duration of the loading screen?

waxen forge
#

2 is great...3 ok...more than that is chaos without experience together and great comms

bold kernel
#

well

#

first off

steady pilot
#

Because bsg has shitty loading screen mechanics dude

open stump
#

an SSD will drastically improve your load times.

bold kernel
#

you arent guaranteed a new raid

#

can we all agree on that?

steady pilot
#

I've played for a long time with friends I know how it works lol

charred berry
#

@waxen forge I see, I was actually thinking it is rather the amount of loot that becomes issue.

bold kernel
#

Sometimes you dont get brand new raids

charred berry
#

but that makes sense too

trim herald
#

@steady pilot So if I spawn in 5 min late, and I started the queue 3 min earlier, it's because of my PC?

bold kernel
#

Depends

trim herald
#

Even though I was in my stash 5 min ago

bold kernel
#

sometimes its servers

#

depends on what it gets stuck on

#

like matching

trim herald
#

Sometimes it's bad hardware, sure. But not always

@limber wadi A scav is ai and a regular player is player controlled, there are such things as player scavs (When you go into the game as a sav). Otherwise there is almost no difference, scavs have random gear, players have what they selected, scavs might see you through things cus they have aimbot

steady pilot
#

It is server side too

long spear
#

sometimes you can spawn in a couple minutes late due to synchronizing with other players in my experience, my computer is great

glossy pumice
#

@modest ermine My rig is still gone even after the restart?!?

waxen forge
#

PMC will TYPICALLY spawn within the first 5 minutes or so of a raid. SOMETIMES you may spawn later due to server issues or your toaster.

I had some valuable stuff in it
