are the twitch drops permanent? or just until wipe 
Traders too. Wipe is a complete reset.
can anyone help a noob make some cash and items. I can barely complete a raid
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
I like to look for the killa carnage these days when I join Interchange.
You can make 200K easy running the PC's on interchange
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.
any sherpas here able to help with quests?
No
You have to send a request
@fallen hollow #sherpa-info
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
And it was a good raid too... Until I couldnt exit
But if you intend to use it....after insurance make sure you still have enough $ in gamma
paid exfil can be convenient
Can be
Rarely ever use it though
And I only check ? exfil if they are on the way to Guaranteed.....
same, especially since i dont marked room run
Money is always pulled from character first
You learn once
As with many things in this game
The thing is that I planned the round with that exfil in mind..
Yeah, that paid exfil for dorms is clutch when you pull a weapon case from marked room.
All I got from that raid is 900 rup and a marked key ...
well this is a game where you learn from your mistakes lol
Then need to plan to replace $ in gamma after insurance
Such is life in the zone
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
Everyone does
except me
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

@tribal cove Any raid you learn something from is a successful raid
can mosin sniper take m80?
Nope, only 7.62x54R
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.
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
Yeah
@trim herald true. I did a quick scav run and got 50k out of it and I feel better now
@tribal cove Good for you buddy ๐
So a free armor, not much but still :)
Free shit is free shit ๐
is there a way to turn off picture-in-picture mode when aiming down scopes?
i get a huge frame dip when that happens
Nope
whats the best 762 ammo
Bp
Ballistics are an important part of Escape from Tarkov. They play a big role in firefights and often determine the outcomes. Choosing the right weapon, ammo and gear is one of the most important parts in coming out on top of fighting.
All the data displayed below is the product of NoFoodAfterMidnight. This page is aimed at spreading the knowledge he uncovered, and making it easy to understand for new players.
do any of the traders sell ps or do i have to buy it from the flea market
Prapor should, or Skier. I forget which
i meant bp lol
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
ok ill just use ps for now
for?
Can buy from flea though
762
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
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?
Not at my pc at the moment but from the streams I'm watching servers seem to be working fine
May be on your end @hoary quarry
I was having that issue as well
idk if he means pc desktop or game desktop
sometimes mine will freeze if i dont disable real time protection in windows defender
how can you disable av?
does shooting range consume ammo?
No
:OOOOOO\
just go to your task bar where you can search things and search virus and threat protection
Also @hoary quarry do #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can see all of Discord...Including #community-support
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?
ah thanks
I play hunt if that helps lol
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
Thanks for the info! I'll start looking for players ๐
why is the mp9 so uncontrollable
Fire rate, I think the bigger issue is that the ammo it uses is so damn bad
@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.
Cause the mp9 is like an intermediate option inbetween a pistol and mp5
@amber saffron yeah I've done that lots, for now I feel quite comfortable in customs and factory
Thats nice!
it has so much recoil
If you'd like to play sometime, im down
i dont think thats realistic
i saw a guy on youtube go full auto and he was pretty accurate
I'm assuming it was someone with practice using one though, or at least other fully automatic weapons
He could have been compensating for recoil. He could have increased skills which helps with recoil
He's talking about a guy irl I think, @waxen forge
Gotcha
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
@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
Sure, ill be busy later today and im leaving in 5. Some other time sounds good.
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?
You can tag yourself as LFG and random people who aren't on your friends list can invite you
Do NOT party with Rando
do I get coupled with other scavs/pmcs based on what I cose?
You don't need to, and I wouldn't accept anything from randoms
Under your character can hit Start looking for group
okok I see
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
So for Signal - Part 1, do I have to find both the signals in one run. Or can i do them each individually? '
makes sense
Individual
Individually, and if you die after finding the antennae you still keep the progress
Same question for Farming - Part 1
!wiki Farming Part 1
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Farming_-_Part_1
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page Farming Part 1 for a direct link or !wiki search Farming Part 1 for a list of all hits.
Individually again, and the progress sticks
Thanks
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
If I'm playing as a scav, how do I distinguish players from other scav?
Movement....if they have a weapon on back...are they looting
Are they in areas scavs don't travel
Overall Experience
And if they're trying to kill you ๐
Night raids are nice because it's super easy to tell the difference
any good place to get shotgun 133 for quest or just buy it from flea market?
Flea, otherwise any map as it's really common on scavs on all maps
@trim herald thanks
i always find or spawn with annnnny other shotgun lol
anyone wanna run with a newer player ENG
what should I put onto adar instead Colt M4 front sight to "make it work"?) I want to have a scope (red dot/holo), but don't want that iron front sight
also is there a list with "usual" flea price? so i know when something is cheap and not hm

@young drum mk12 gas block
No...flea fluctuates too much.
so umm i'm getting some shit back from insurance but everytime i leave that screen i get an error and the items disappear
restart game
factory duo daytime 5min queue?
already did
yes
@trim herald thanks, but is it searchable by "linked search"?
servers are dead
@plucky reef There's some third party sites that can be semi reliable I've been told, otherwise just experience. BSG want to implement an actual ingame tracker, much like what Eve Online has, but it's not there yet
F
May want to check more servers in your list
they reappared but in the insurance stash again, still can't move them
The servers are basically dying from all the people
@young drum Should be I think, otherwise try linked on the barrel maybe
took me 10 minutes last night
ty
Yeah it's the barrel
wish they were doing something for the loot lost yesterday due to disconnects
@last rose Tarkov giveth and Tarkov taketh away
Facts
yes but support your player base ya know. bad servers is a them problem not an us problem. they should have been more prepared before doing the twitch drops knowing the attention the game would get
Not sure
what is still happening?
At work atm
assume its gone the servers are all messed up rn
^
Maybe wait a bit...see if server settles down
trying to move stuff from insurance to stash @bold kernel
ye alright
servers might be down
i'll jump in a raid and see after that
could be a glitch'
assuming it lets me lol
whats a good price for buying key tool?
would anyone be so kind to drop me their beta or gamma case? I have the standard edition :(
yeah but whats the average
Can't drop cases anymore, @mellow stag
can you upgrade standard cases without upgrading tarkov edition?
#521628660298678283 and #news-setup @mellow stag
You can get bigger cases from trades or quests yes
Biggest available is 4x3 from the final quest in the game, but the Epsilon 2x4 is fairly easy to get through the Prapor quest line
^
yeah ive got alpha case sucks having 4 ecks dee.. anyone trying to sherpa me? looking to group a little and get a little better
Can you do quest during a scan run?
Nope
#pvp-lfg Can get a Sherpa with #sherpa-info
Can find non-specific task items as a scav like gas analyzers
Cannot get task specific items like Bronze watch as a scav
cannot do kill tasks as a scav
do you get anything extra from doing optional in tasks? or just exp
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
Unless were talking sanitary standards pt1
Most things are optional in the quest. In the end. Just follow the wiki
The wiki helps with all quests
All you need to know in one location
!wiki
Press R while holding the item
if i dont have a tactical rig but a backpack can i still reload double slot magazines?
ya
i was taking about an irl guy
oh shiit
I got a labs keycard while playing as a scav , im 3 level , do you know how much does that cost cause i want to sell it when i unlock the flea market
is there any easy way to do fishing gear? seems like players love to finishing with sniper rifles....
What does Owner param mean? I am trying to mmove stuff to hideout and I get that error
160-200k
@torn stirrup 140kish
Ok thanks
it got cheaper i see
Someone told me it costed 200k
What about the factory key?
Price fluctuates
How much does that go for
It's down atm due to twitch drops, will bounce back up again after the drops have finished
@rocky trellis Try a night raid
ok
@torn stirrup 160k+ generally, as it sells for 160k to Therapist with full 50 uses
Its 50/50
Flea isn't always more
Im 3 lvl cant check flea yet
What clothing has the coolest gloves?
Hold it til level 5 or sell to Traders
Then 160k to Therapist. It's a rather useful key so I'd keep it unless you need the cash badly
Ill wait i guess
Honestly you'll generally get more for that key to trader because of the fee the fleamarket takes
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.
lol this game is so lit
i just wiped a squad with a pistol
they were fully geared
its a shame another guy sniped me
Is there a reason why, my gunplay seems alot slower then streamers
Gameplay?
when i down full gear there is always someone to kill me
Experience
Like aiming turning in general
Could be you having low frames in the game, or lower sens
Increased skills...the armor you are wearing
Im running it at a constant 75fps so its not framerate
Run interchange and loot tech stores and PC in Olie and Goshan
Get out and sell it all
PvP is not loot run
nah but when you kill
Oh I gotcha
i wana loot em init
@full harbor Clear the area first, make sure no one else is around, then go prone and be as fast as humanly possible
prone but fast
Clearing the area first is key though
Control click to put stuff from body in your bags
Alt plus Click to equip items to open slots like a helmet if you have no helmet on
Free run
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
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
I only scav on factory :p
Unless you get a dead guy and can get out with his stuff
Only loot on factory is the loot people bring in
Loot is so mediocre without keys
Plenty of loot on Interchange without keys
not if you know where to look
Cottages on Shoreline
True interchange has some goods
Reserve has decent loot without keys
reserve has tons of amazing loot without keys as well
You need 2 keys for 2nd cottage building
Not saying it's High tier
But you can make 300K easy just looting PC's
Slow and steady
hence why I said mediocre without keys
yea can go get roller and bitcoin or ledx
But I make plenty of $ running "mediocre' runs
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
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
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
Yeah good point, scav runs are literally free loot after all
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.
They are the ones that need to learn how to use scav to make $
Should I use armor and helmet on a budget loadout
Penis helmet
A who
SSh
Depends on what you mean by budget loadout i guess

If you go IN with a pistol then I shouldn't bother
PACA?
Helmets are a money pit. You will die wearing a good - High tier helmet more than it will save you.
i dont recommend penis helmet either really, maybe paca though
@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
YES it will save you some...but not as many times as you will die wearing one
if you are running a truly budget loadout i dont think penis helmet will save you money in the long run
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
or tier 4 helmets
i dont get shot in the back of the head very often, but thats me
I get clapped in the head almost every raid solo
Scav Buckshot
but faceshields are nice for protecting against scavs if you have an expensive loadout
saves from scavs
yeah
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?
Depends on your perspective re: budget
Penis helmet and 6B5-15^
do
You need armor
Always has armour I'd say, but not always hats
Helmet isnt necessary cause it probably wont help
Time of day for the raid
2 times. Military time. 1 usually daytime...1 evening/night
yeah i dont understand why so many people recommend penis helmet
Wear a balaclava if you're not wearing a helmet though!
Because it's cheap helmet
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
It's pointless to buy, okay to earn and wear
But if they want one then penis is cheapest best option
@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
oh shit
Penis helmet has high ricochet chance. It's also a mental thing for me
i chose the night time
U chose factory night
you went on a night raid
Factory night is pitch black
@trim herald we are talking about budget loadouts, nobody mentioned a decent loadout
All other maps night can be dark to somewhat light based upon mood / weather
Imagine using ulach over mich2001
Thanks the 6b5 is only 15k
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?
Lmao
There are 2 versions of ulach
And 2 of mich
Mich is cheaper than both
imagine thinking that small area of protection is worth losing so much of your hearing for most scenarios
ACHHC doesn't, ULACH does
I guess I'm imagining things
I'm pretty sure that says ears, and ULACH, but obviously not
You can wear a headset with ULACH @long spear
damn. some cunt killed me.
In this video you will learn the basics on how to build a strong, budget loadout in Escape from Tarkov. This video is good for new players joining the game, or experienced players looking for ideas to shave a few dollars off their kits.
You will learn the fundamental basics...
What Hyporian said, which the Ulach is excellent as long as you're ok not having a visor
at least now i only need extract once
No ears on that @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
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
he obviously was going on previous knowledge and not reading the wiki
They changed it after Initial release, because it definitely did
Must have been too op for its price I guess
Bsg logic
Helmet is the last piece of gear I worry about in a loadout
what budracin said
^
unless its a faceshield for an expensive loadout imo
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
That not using it
^
And just playing smarter
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
cuz random scav headshots suck
not really
Yes really
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
thats a big deal
face shields
Why is this fact relevant
Nitro booster tag = toxic
Can't use earphones with a lvl6 faceshield
careful fellas

@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
Why thefuck you telling me this, I know this already and I still domt know why this is relevant to initial topic
I know you know that, but you seem to want to argue with me even though I'm agreeing with you
...?
actually scavs carry ak ammo that wont penetrate lvl 3 faceshields
its not just pistol and shotgun
"Can't get a lvl 4 face shield and headsets though dude" this cane from you out of nowhere and wasnt even apart of the point
Off topic but if you rookies want to feel good about your EFT progress Doc is playing EFT again. He is as clueless as a typical rookie
Scavs won't shoot head unless it's shotguns or bossguards/raiders
thats completely untrue lol...
Scavs will shoot what they see
@steady pilot It was completely relevant to the conversation, if you can't follow the conversation maybe pay more attention?
If you are below them then they will be headshot
vonna cyka 
So coming upstairs at Interchange. if the first thing they see is head...boom head shot. \
even if your whole body is visible they can still get random headshots
We were talking about if it's good or not dude
????
Protection
Never happened to me @long spear, hell, I've died getting shot through objects that you generally can't shoot through more often than I've been hit in the head by a scav who isn't using a shotgun of some type
Or a guard/raider/boss
well thats weird, its not that uncommon
Wow, @steady pilot is really triggered ๐

First it's the AR/M4 argument, now this. Are you having problems at home buddy?
im having problems at the majority of humanity
Spawned as a scav with a lab keycard in his pocket. What should I do? Sell it or keep it?
Ignorance that becomes stupidity because you fail to listen triggers me. :) I'm okay with ignorance till you ignore facts. That makes you stupid.
@coral pilot if you are that new then probably sell it as labs is more of an endgame thing
flea market
@steady pilot It's not fact when it's your opinion dude, especially when it's based in your personal reality that isn't really matching with everyone elses. But sure, keep telling yourself that others are stupid ๐
K thanks a lot!
You completely derailed the conversation talking about headsets which was not fucking relevant
Sell it near lowest price
We were talking about protection and facesheilds
hello i have a kochetnov rail with pu scope and ring mount on and it will not let me install on my mosin any help?
Just a heads up @coral pilot, the prices of cards have recently dropped so they may go back up again soon
And what they actually help with
And then you come in with random shit that wasnt even the point
Need Mosin...not Infantry mosin @flint parcel
@trim herald ok might wait then
We were talking about what loadouts are useful or good dude, not which number is higher. Which is also why we were talking about ear protection
thanks for the head up
Holy shit
Were you even following the conversation or are you just making shit up now?
@waxen forge thank you
Like with your Mich helmet?
More streams may increase chances of more drops
hell yea
I think there's some form of internal CD on the drops, so I don't think it really makes much of a difference, but I haven't seen any form of data on it
gun powder good?
decent
i got 10 gunpowder for one of my drops
depends on color
If you have flea right click and Filter by item
i got a kiba key
Sort low to high
sold for 650k
nice
i dont have it yet
my inventory is so full rn
i need to get to level 5 as soon as possible so i can sell my keys and other stuff
You can sell to traders
how much dose a THICC case cost on the flee market?
Therapist>Skier>mechanic
keys sell for higher on flee market right?
@tired heart item or weapon?
No no, T H I C C item or weapon case
Labs card (white is about 160-200K)
Item is about 13.5 mil, weapon is about 3.7 mil
ok
Military checkpoint is maybe 140K...I'm speculating on that one
If you're going to compare prices of trade items and keys, just look at market and therapist and pick the best option
^
But for regular gear sell to Traders
Therapist first...if she won't buy it try Skier...if he won't buy try Mechanic
Knives to Fence
Nades to Prapor
Axes to Jaeger when you unlock him
ok
Part of leveling traders is spending to a specified amount, increasing player level, increasing trader reputation
Spending counts as buying and selling btw
is the kiver m good?
Leveling traders means you can buy better and better gear from traders and then don't have to play the inflated flea prices
ive been using that for ammo types is it good?
I'm not a fan of the kiver really
@viral ibex no. Its class 3 and dampens your hearing a lot.
damn
Not really. Faceshield is pretty much worthless and you can't use a headset with it
It's good for early wipe but that's it
I would never run a kiver
im boppin everyone with headshots
I like to hear
^
damn
Pistols are horrible wdym
i just get countered with grenades
You spend 10k max for a chance of tapping a fully geared player in the face
Almost as garbage as shotguns 
Idk what kind of geared players let you come close enough to get one tapped by a pistol..
I run shotguns for 1 reason. When the damn task makes me use a shotgun
i headshot a guy 3times in head with pistol
i was in customs
theres a gas station
and a squad rolled in
i got 2
but another guy threw a grenade and shot me down
ive been using this chart for ammo is it good or nah https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/660231233883865088/661763818979852308/unknown.png?width=832&height=468
Probably the geared players who run factory for whatever reason
Chart is good
Although only AP slugs should be in bis slot imo
Flechettes are fine honestly, on smaller maps they're better than AP20's as they'll shred armour faster
But on larger maps like Customs or whatnot you'd want to go with AP20's
ive been mainly learning customs but starting to learn woods for quests
Interchange is a decent beginner map too. Easier to avoid the big boys than it is on customs
Only issue is that you won't get quests for Interchange before lvl 15
Although I think with all the new players coming to the game rn, customs should be pretty goood
Yeah true
yeah im like lvl 14 and been trying to do quests more now
You'd think so, but so far all I see are thicc bois coming in for PvP, which is fine if you're also a thicc boi, but a bit rough if you're a paca/vepr man
Do them at your own pace ^^ They're handy but there's no rush
I do customs whenever I feel like fighting reshala tbh
Would anyone be interested in grouping up? ๐
ive been trying to get him but end up getting shot by other players
You want to get the Skier quest line done ASAP though, to unlock Peacekeeper quests, and the Prapor line to get to the Punisher series
Oh, cheers
You gotta get a role first though I believe #521628660298678283 #news-setup #pvp-lfg in that order
Lvl 15 for ragmans quests
Hes agot a fuckton of xp
Especially since interchange is a lot of money too
If you're struggling with some quests, you should consider doing them in a night raid. Especially helpful on customs and factory
do night raids for quests they said.. on shoreline 20 seconds in i got sniped with a weapon that did not even do the supersonic sound in the dark..
i find there are so many places people could be on interchange its hard
Disagree
Im just getting killed without making any progress. Just join a random to try to make some progress and was TKed instantly. ๐ฆ
I've killed several people with them so far
Solid argument
Flir is cheap
Anyone that could take me around customs?
Not arguing with you though, booster tag :/
Im doing quests on customs rn erukuish
depends on what you need done
I used to do night raids when I started
"Shotguns are good because I killed a lvl 60 player with them"
Do you see the issue
lol
Took me 20 rounds
to kill a raider guard
Way back when NODS and thermals were rarer
okay boys, i'm level 5 and i want a team mate
Night raids are sweaty central
sometimes
Sweaties and hatchlings
Factory night time used to be empty
can't find that ffs
i love you
@latent delta you need to accept #521628660298678283 and #news-setup to unlock discord
Rip
@bold kernel Anything really just to get xp
anyone else having problems with the v-ex on customs?
erukish alrighty, you got any quests?
V-ex is a ? exfil
i had over 7000 rubels, but it wouldnt let me extract
It may not be there...may not even be your exfil depending on what side of the map you spawned
I've had that issue before, not sure why but I just used the normal extract
Double tap O and see what exfil you have
it just flashed red like if you dont have enough rubels
its awesome hitting marked room knowing the exfil is near
and then have to walk all the way to crossroads
What is a good weapon for mid range with a powerful round used at sniping, but also for close range if needed? I dont want full auto
adar
Vepr Hunter
Had a vepr hunter, but I just didnt like how it feels idk
Can it be modded
For better stats
?
No
Only sights
Honestly hunter needs nothing
But a sight is all you need
Just optic
Night raids a are good if you have thermals to snipe
Just slap a belomo 4X on that badboi and you'll be killing everyone, everywhere
ADAR is probably your best bet if you don't like the hunter, VEPR KM is solid too
I have 2 modded adars that look real nice, but kinda scared to take them out
2 weapons?
gotcha
Mosin on woods and ak ok customs
I understand that in offline mode you dont keep loot. But do you keep all XP earned?
You keep nothing
okay, thank you
No loot...no xp
I like the mosin scope a lot and got some great pmc kills with it. Can It be attached to a different gun? Or is there any simmilar sight?
weapons are dropping in price anyway, no need for gear fear
Someting with a small cope pictore that doesnt cover all the screen
PK-06
@reef prairie is it bcs the wipe is soon?
the economies shat itself
Nobody knows for sure
Good
i guess because of the twitch drops?
yeah
I personally like the HAMR for a 4x, but it's not very small
How do you get the twitch drops?
Drops have messed with economy
I linked my account
watch streamers
Remember friends, woods is a great newbie friendly map with plenty of loot to go around if you know where to look.
gotcha
Just watch streams


@brisk mortar tell that to shturman 
Yup. I play it 70% of the time
Shturman a bitch
Either woods or customs
customs #1
Should I start learning other maps or just practice on these?
@brisk mortar wasnt the keybar like 1.3 mil and now 500k?
Interchange isn't a bad map to learn.
Something like that. I got both mine pre event though
Yea
While it's nice to know more maps, I would focus on Customs until you get the quests done so you can get the peacekeeper series opened up and the punisher series from prapor. Obviously if you get fed up with Customs go somewhere else ๐
Key bar has been sitting at 560knfor a while
anyone know how to get rid of a bad streak
Customs / interchange/ woods/ shorline
@fading violet dont die
Dont get shot
oh no shit sherlock

So you can see all of Discord
git gud
Got a question, how does one run labs? Most of the time i go straight to the middle and just walk around slowly trying to spot players, never really works out for me. What are your tactics?
I run the edges
Live. Kill raiders.
then bait out scavs
there are certain areas
raiders have buggy AI in
I like to bait them and get free gear
granted its only ever 1 or 2
so I am totally new, and I am trying to go to a location but is says I am missing the map. I purchased maps form the therapist but still says I don't have any
I have no idea what im doing lol
Labs is ass tho
...
When reserve exists
Toneboat
Do not buy or use in-game maps
what location
Use internet maps on 2nd screen
you dont need maps btw
Ignore maps for now @limber wadi They used to have a use but not anymore
Everyone here has 4 different screens to play tarkov at maximum
I was just trying to start on a ramdom one
lol
Use map on 2nd screen, phone or go old school and print them out
@steady pilot you really think so? I mean even if you have all the labs keycards?
is the dt mdr good?
Screw labs
Do bosses and bodyguards have wallhack?
when it says you dont have a map you can just hit next
How does scavs and raiders interact with player scavs? 
@coarse marsh lol reserve is easy cash. Easy to kill players. Raiders. And loot 2 marked rooms.
they kill them on sight
Also Insure all every raid
You will get a lot of stuff back....most people aren't looting your rig or backpack especially if low level
Labs is dookie
@scarlet breach normal scavs are fine with player scavs but Raiders, Bosses, and Boss Guards kill on sight
i like this site for maps:
https://www.gamemaps.co.uk/game/tarkov
Miss me with that 200k tax
@coarse marsh Labs can be good cash, but unless you're good at the map you'll die so often you're better off going somewhere else. The best thing about Labs is the xp but again, you need to know how the fight the raiders and the other pmc's on the map
Taxation is theft
that explains how they ran straight to me around a wall in pitch black while I was super sneaki cheeki breeki.
The xp gain can be argued for reserve too cause they spawn there as well
So what you saying is instead of buying up all the labs key cards, buy up all the reserve keys?
So๐คท
where do you extract on reserve? it's ridiculous
Labs is expensive to get in..you need decent gear in...and you may die once in. Yes you can get good loot especially if you have keys but the investment isn't worth the cost most of the time

Sure, but it's faster to spawn them, kill and extract and go again in Labs than reserve. I think reserve is better overall, and also a more fun map, but for xp/min I think Labs has it

sewer manhole
seeing as how this is beginners assistance i would not recommend a beginner going to reserve
Plus played that map too damn much when it came out. Bait raider to hallway. Tap raider with TT. use their kit.
Okay I have more questions when thereโs a break in convo
Boring
Eh, if you're good enough to farm raiders for cash/xp 200k is nothing
@open stump Just keep asking
So I know that player scavs and scavs spawn into the middle of raids but do PMCs also spawn after initial start or?
no
@charred berryno
@waxen forge I agree, Reserve is more fun
Unless they late to spawn cause of their toaster
@charred berry Sometimes
They might late spawn but itโs not by too much
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?
PMC spawn at the beginning. How close to beginning depends on SSD or HDD and such...but it will be beginning
That's not really true though Budracin
@open stump press q or e right before you stop
Sometimes you get put on a server after it's started
@waxen forge not true
By 30nseconds
Not typical as PMC
I've spawned 10 min late once or twice after a 1 min loading screen
and I can prove it Budracin
Also spawned 5 min later several times with a 1 min loading screen
Q or E is lean for me does that matter
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
SSD's have nothing to do with the load speed as much as ram does
May happen occasionally but is not TYPICAL
what si the difference between a scav and the regular player?
And it's usually because of shitty pcs
@open stump no i told you the default...
I load near instant and dont have an SSD
SSD sure as hell has something to do with it
Scavs are the only thing that spawns after
Not true though @steady pilot
than an SSD
Okay well I changed all my keybinds i wasnt sure if that was still default
The general consensus is that ssd is better btw
my 4 gigs of ram basically shoots me into the future man
There is a huge difference
I have had several friends switch
And the difference is phenomenal
Heres what I've found from playing with people who have SSD's
I run all my games off of portable 2 TB SSDs
I've played with HDD guys and they were always last to load in even with equal RAM to us
if you have a large amount of ram
But i'm not going to argue...pointless
i dont know about this game but increasing ram speed from 2666 to 3200 made me gain 30 fps in pubg
i always beat my friends loading into Hunt: Showdown
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
?
^
Lol
My game just errored in the inventory and an entire rig disappeared???
ouch
Restart game
He spawned 5 mins late because of his toaster. Meaning his character was there
RAM shouldnโt 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
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)
Just he couldn't operate
@glossy pumice restart game usually fixes that
2
@steady pilot Then explain to me how I, or he, can spawn more late than the total duration of the loading screen?
2 is great...3 ok...more than that is chaos without experience together and great comms
Because bsg has shitty loading screen mechanics dude
an SSD will drastically improve your load times.
I've played for a long time with friends I know how it works lol
@waxen forge I see, I was actually thinking it is rather the amount of loot that becomes issue.
Sometimes you dont get brand new raids
but that makes sense too
@steady pilot So if I spawn in 5 min late, and I started the queue 3 min earlier, it's because of my PC?
Depends
Even though I was in my stash 5 min ago
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
It is server side too
sometimes you can spawn in a couple minutes late due to synchronizing with other players in my experience, my computer is great
@modest ermine My rig is still gone even after the restart?!?
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
