Im not broke

:\

[heavy quest]

then stop taking my pistols xD

[grand elm]

And insurance on a pistol is like 500 roubles. Lol

[strange forum]

Can confirm that i never take pistols when i loot someone

[torn widget]

500k is fine for a lvl 5 id think

[grand elm]

Trust me, I’m not taking your pistols either unless you have a 5-7 or a fully modded glock with big mags

[torn widget]

And wtf is a vper hunter

[grand elm]

Maybe search the market and look

[junior yacht]

oo 9mm armour piercing

[grand elm]

Dollar for dollar the most powerful gun in the game

[junior yacht]

good for putting on a saiga9?

[torn widget]

I put in Vper and nothing appeared

[grand elm]

Ap 6.3 for 9mm

Or LUGER CCI, or PST if you’re broke

[junior yacht]

dont have it

[grand elm]

Use the marketplace to buy everything.

[heavy quest]

the 5-7 @bold kernel?

[grand elm]

People list shit for cheaper than the traders.

[torn widget]

You start being able to use more guns once you have access to better ammo and more ammo

[strange forum]

Vepr hunter is by far best gun if ur on budget

[grand elm]

I’m wrong? About what? Lol

[heavy quest]

haha I highlighted the wrong sky

is what I meant

[grand elm]

Gotcha

[torn widget]

a Vper KM?

[junior yacht]

only have 760k atm idk if i wana spend too much

[torn widget]

Oh shit

No i see it

Vper hunter

I have alot to sell im just too lazy rn

[grand elm]

Use the hunter with 10 round mags and m80. Either use okp-7 with built in mount or PSO for long range. Okp-7 with mount is quite possibly the best red dot in the game

Incredibly precise

[strange forum]

True

What lvl are u @grand elm

[grand elm]

Other OKP is fucking trash. I don’t know why the same sight has two different restocked lol but ya

50

[heavy quest]

okp-7 is fairly cheap as well, or am I mistaken?

[grand elm]

Cheap yes

[heavy quest]

whats the hunter go for?

havent checked it out yet

[grand elm]

Probably like 20k or something

Mid 20s

And a lot of scavs carry them.

Once you hear the sound you’ll never forget it when you hear it go off.

[opaque mirage]

it's fucking scary.

[grand elm]

Yes.

[torn widget]

m80 best ammo for Vper hunter?

[heavy quest]

I dont remember having seen (or heard) it yet

[opaque mirage]

m61 fate

[grand elm]

If I hear it I don’t go anywhere near it

No

No

No

M80

Do not buy m61

[torn widget]

:\

[opaque mirage]

it broke now or somthing?

[grand elm]

No, it’s just not necessary

[opaque mirage]

eh

[grand elm]

And it’s like 3x the price of m80

M80 goes through an Altyn with one shot.

Hence why the hunter is the dollar for dollar most deadly gun in the game. It doesn’t cost shit to run it and you’re using the “worst” ammo it takes and slaying

Go to reserve with a hunter, PSO, and a shemagh and lurk around the outskirts and wait for players

Kill raiders with it, whatever you wanna do

[faint haven]

What's the cheapest sight?

[torn widget]

WHY DOES IT KEEP SAYING OFFER NOT FOUND

im trying to buy M80

[haughty pier]

can some one help me get this quest done?

[grand elm]

The cheapest sight? Probably not a sight I’d wanna use

Lol

Gotta be more specific

[opaque mirage]

pko6?

[grand elm]

Bots are buying it

Pko6 is not cheap

[torn widget]

@grand elm why does it keep saying offer not found when trying to by M80

[heavy quest]

the flea overview isn't always up to date with what offers are actually available

[grand elm]

Everything on the market that is sold for a certain percentage under the median price is bought immediately by bots

[heavy quest]

try F5

[grand elm]

I’m sure it is one of the devs main issues in the works rn

Finding a way to ban these turds who use bots

People literally play this game solely to run the market. I know two people who’ve never even played a raid. Lol

[torn widget]

What sight am i supposed to be using on theVper Hunter again?

Also do i have to bring extra mags for it

[grand elm]

Okp-7 for close range or PSO for 3x

And yes. You can’t top load it. Get a couple 10 rounders and just play in areas where you’re outside the fight and keep spare ammo in your container

But OKP is VERY deadly at range.

I don’t use PSO. I’m pretty accurate with OKP-7 til around 150-175m

[young drum]

how to update existing preset after applying some changes? "save as"?

[grand elm]

You have to save it yes

[torn widget]

I tried to buy 10 mags but it turns out they were 5

Is 3 extra mags aight

[grand elm]

Lol

Just use em

[torn widget]

Thats 20 bullets

[grand elm]

And take your time. Don’t take stupid shots

Yep

[torn widget]

Aight

[grand elm]

Take an extra 40 or so with you

[torn widget]

:\

[junior yacht]

wait

bots?

and is there a reason why everyone wants paracord

[grand elm]

Paracord is used for two extracts when combined with red rebel pick axe. 1 is on woods right near sniper scav rock and the other is behind dome at reserve

Makes your life, and raids, A LOT easier.

[junior yacht]

ohh

unlimited use?

[grand elm]

And yes, almost literally every time you try to buy something off the flea market that seems like a really “cheap price,” a bot someone has made has bought it so they can resell it.

It’s fairly simple to see who these people are. If someone has like 100,000 rounds of the same ammo for sale, they’re probably not legit. I assume BSG devs are working on a way to take care of these worthless losers

Yes. Keep paracord in container.

It spawns in some towers on reserve, in stashes on customs and other maps, and in other spots on reserve.

[paper apex]

ok so i play factory with my friend and we do fine and barley see anyone but i hop into factory alone and it always seems like im in the middle of player fights when i spawn in. whats the deal with that how do i avoid it. also should i invest in guns and headsets on the trading tab so i can go in as my main instead of scaving every 20 mins

i find it hard to play scav when it doesnt give me a headset just bc of how weird audio is in this game

[torn widget]

What does a hand dril do

and how much does it go for

[heavy quest]

@grand elm is there any rules against using a second trader account? (I'm not talking about botting to buy stuff up, just about buying stuff up and using a dedicated account for trading)

[faint totem]

30-40k on flea. You need one for the first stash uprade. I'm not sure of ay other uses

[grand elm]

Not sure what the point of that would be

[heavy quest]

making money

[grand elm]

But you’re playing on one account and trading what on the other? Lol

I’m confused at your intent

[heavy quest]

I'm not. But I do see those traders that have dozens or hundreds of specific items up for sale and think they probably use a dedicated account for that

for extra stash space

once you get access to flea and have a few 100k roubles you can probably make dozens of millions without ever raiding/scaving , just with some patience

[torn widget]

I got a R.ball

🙂

[grand elm]

They have bots, more than likely. Or auto clickers that are 1000x speed and will leave you no chance in buying it sadly

[torn widget]

Finally a succesful scav run on Interchangew

[junior yacht]

uhh should i try new maps with my scav character?

or stick to customs

[heavy quest]

I think thats completely up to you

[torn widget]

Is a R.ball good?

[heavy quest]

personally I'm sticking with customs until I feel more comfy with it

[junior yacht]

ahh ok

[torn widget]

If you want to try new maps try and find someone who is experianced to help you

[junior yacht]

hmm

ive got a few friends but they are teamed up

[torn widget]

especially non new player friendly maps

[junior yacht]

doesnt sound keen on helping me

[torn widget]

go to lfg

Someone may help you

[junior yacht]

the thing is i can't use a mic at the moment so i doubt anyone would do that

[grand elm]

Here’s a big tip. You are going to have A LOT of quests on customs. Play it often.

[junior yacht]

oh god

[wary marsh]

am i missing something how do i get access to lfgs lol

[inner glacier]

Hi guys, few questions from me as a new player with only one scav run and one offline raid under my belt. Apologies if it's too much:

• UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE: How do a fix a 0%hp limb?
• LOST IN RUSSIA: Do people actually use in-game maps or does everybody just use an online map of some sort?
• SCAVLOCK HOLMES: Do scavs move to gunfire from all sources from across the map? i.e. do they have different agro ranges from players shooting other players/player scavs shooting scavs, etc etc.
• CLICKING SIMULATOR: Is there a quicker way to open, then examine every single item? I find when i kill someone it takes ages to get through clicking all the items.
• BAGS in BAGS: I understand bags stack, but is there an efficient way to do it? Last night I found a decent bag on a scav run, which meant i had to drop all of my bags on the floor and put them inside each other 1 by 1.

Thanks very much guys 🙂

[wary marsh]

of course i forgot to check rules lol

cant fix a 0hp limb as far as i know

once you loose it its gone lol

[opaque mirage]

thats...

[wary marsh]

most people use online maps

[inner glacier]

So if you get shot in the leg and it's on 0% - you're just fucked and cant sprint?

[torn widget]

What do i use the brown for

Ive been saving up all of them

[opaque mirage]

ben you can use painkillers

[wary marsh]

ben go check out pestily on yt great information

[torn widget]

brown knives*

What do i use em for

I have a bunch

[grand elm]

Quest

[wary marsh]

trade them in for a gun or quest em lol

[grand elm]

And trade up

Right click “required search”

[inner glacier]

@opaque mirage PKs help?

[grand elm]

You can fix thorax.

[torn widget]

Whats the cheapest shotgun

[wary marsh]

ahhhh

[grand elm]

Dont buy any shotgun aside from the mp-153

Or Saiga

[fickle kettle]

you cant fix*

[torn widget]

its for a quest

[fickle kettle]

sky you didnt type it right x.x

[inner glacier]

@wary marsh I will!

[torn widget]

I need body armor too

What the cheapest body armor

[grand elm]

What quest is it

[junior yacht]

i mean getting shot in the throat irl is deadly

lmao

[torn widget]

4 shotguns and 4 body armor to skier

Dont have to collect em

Just give them to him

[wary marsh]

@inner glacier i found out best way to learn keep doing offline raids and watch people play the game constantly to pick up new things and ideas

[celest oak]

the cheapest body armour is probably a paca

[inner glacier]

Anything on the last question I posted regarding bags? @wary marsh @plucky goblet

[junior yacht]

paca still kinda expensive

lmao

[fickle kettle]

just use the new amour

why paca

[manic inlet]

• UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE: How do a fix a 0%hp limb?
  With a survival/chirugical kit such as the CMS or the SURV12 kits (from Jaeger)
• LOST IN RUSSIA: Do people actually use in-game maps or does everybody just use an online map of some sort?
  Most people use maps from the Wiki as there are extractions on them, unlike the maps in game
• SCAVLOCK HOLMES: Do scavs move to gunfire from all sources from across the map? i.e. do they have different agro ranges from players shooting other players/player scavs shooting scavs, etc etc.
  They can hear your shot, they can not move everywhere though, they can only stay in specific places, such as the health ressort or the bus station on shoreline, and not get out and walk outside in the woods for example.
• CLICKING SIMULATOR: Is there a quicker way to open, then examine every single item? I find when i kill someone it takes ages to get through clicking all the items.
  Middle mouse to examine, double click to quick open
  @inner glacier

[wary marsh]

no clue man i frantically shove stuff in my bag if you hold control and click i know it puts it in faster

[opaque mirage]

just buy a fucken gen 4

[torn widget]

What is the cheapest armor bro

[fickle kettle]

you cant buy gen4 nowaday

[manic inlet]

lol I didn't see it(

[strange mural]

Cheapest=/= usable

Ragman sells t4 armors

And they are pretty cheap on the market

[torn widget]

Its for a quest what is the god damn cheapest armor

[strange mural]

You need m3

[torn widget]

idc about quality

[strange mural]

For that quest

[grand elm]

If you’re doing the shotgun PMC quest just use 6b level 4 armor

[torn widget]

wtf are you talking about

[strange mural]

[broken quail]

Supplier is a Quest in Escape from Tarkov.

[torn widget]

I need 4 shotguns and 4 vests

For skier

yes

[celest oak]

oh its the 3m armour

[strange mural]

M3.

3m.

[inner glacier]

Thank you @manic inlet . Very eloquently put too!

[strange mural]

Like i said is the only one accepted

[fickle kettle]

i mean why buy gen4

when you can steal gen4

[opaque mirage]

Fair point xd

[torn widget]

3m isnt cheap

[strange mural]

So?

Quest requires it

[celest oak]

you have to use 3m for the quest

50k on flea amrket

[inner glacier]

Three bonus questions:

• What is the default bind for prone? I see Z is duck (wtf).
• I obviously start the game with some cash, Should I spend any of this on the hideout or wait till later?
• Should I sell stuff on the Flea Market or to traders as a new player? I have no idea which guns to keep in runs or what to ignore.

[strange mural]

X

Dont spend until you knoe ehat you are doing

Trade order is flea>thera>sjier>mechanic

Generally if there isnt a huge price difference selling to thera is much faster

Always dissasemble guns before selling

If selling to traders*

[bronze ice]

@inner glacier You'll need to spend some money to get higher loyalty levels with the traders, flea market usually has better prices otherwise.

[celest oak]

why dissasemble guns?

[strange mural]

More money from traders.

Generally

Its only a few K dofference but

[inner glacier]

Amazing. And the prone bind? 😄

[celest oak]

but you know i says you get the same amount but you dont, you're npot talking about that right

[strange mural]

X

Iirc

[bronze ice]

@inner glacier Also, regarding the third question, the same applies to everything, it takes time to learn the prices of stuff 🙂

[inner glacier]

I saw a fair few people recommended buying certain upgrades in hideout first (med station for example) - and the order makes sense, but should I wait to do this or do it immediately?

[strange mural]

Hideout is mknor QoL upgrades

Minor*

[inner glacier]

mknor?

ah ok

[strange mural]

Biggest thing you want is workbench

Gives you weapon modding

But that can wait too

[celest oak]

the hideout wont really make you any money

[inner glacier]

aite i'll hold off for now

[strange mural]

Also, what

[inner glacier]

LUL

[celest oak]

lol if you dissasemble a gun before selling it

it says you make the same amount but its a glitch

[inner glacier]

Thank you all for sharing your knowledge! I'm off to do my second Scav run and hopefully shoot some people

@strange mural @bronze ice

[strange mural]

Ahh

Also

[inner glacier]

Heroes

[strange mural]

I believe in you

Go and get dunked

[inner glacier]

Watch me go and wipe the floor.

[junior yacht]

16 min customs queue be like

THERE'S SOMEBODY OUTSIDE I AM SCARED.

[grave helm]

[honest oar]

how in the f did somone get on top of this ?

there is no rocks can u can jump on top get up

[vernal anchor]

Thats probably sniper scav

[honest oar]

i killed somone on top how do i get up

lol

[vernal anchor]

You would need another person to boost you

[honest oar]

how did a solo player gt up there ?

[upbeat flax]

what map is that

[honest oar]

shoireline

[upbeat flax]

sniper scav

[honest oar]

ahhhh

[vernal anchor]

I said it was sniper scav lol

[honest oar]

ty, carry on 😛 im a noob

[humble thorn]

Does buying from flea market reduce trader rep?

[upbeat flax]

no

[waxen forge]

But it doesn't count towards "spent" requirement for leveling traders

[scarlet bough]

Hi

[supple oak]

is there a autoshotgun in the game?

[inner glacier]

@bronze ice @strange mural I made it out alive boys! Apparently I "ran through" though. I extracted fairly early doors with some roubles/gun/BP/meds etc. First time I survived one so I'll take it

[upbeat flax]

@supple oak nope

[strange mural]

@inner glacier big gz bud. Run through is xp based

Only survival matters you did good

[scarlet bough]

6 games, 6 times dies

[upbeat flax]

welcome to hell

[strange mural]

Remember that a lot of the time the hideout loot is worth more than guns

[karmic garden]

There are two semi auto shotguns @supple oak

[torn widget]

Just made bank on Customsm scav run

[fickle kettle]

@honest oar that is not some 1

that is the sniper scav

[torn widget]

100 hours isnt that much

And this game has alot too it

xD

[fickle kettle]

100 hour ? Spend 1000 more and you know

[torn widget]

EVE?

[fickle kettle]

such game cannot compare to tarkov

[karmic garden]

I played eve heavily from 2003-2009

[torn widget]

is Rashala like the customs killa=?

?

[karmic garden]

Tens of thousands of hours wasted

@torn widget he's the custies scav boss yes

[torn widget]

So hes easier i assume

[karmic garden]

But he doesn't act like killa

Also his loot isn't so great

[torn widget]

Why dont his goons just kill him and take over then

[karmic garden]

The main danger with reshala is his guards airbursting grenades on you

And people third partying you

@rare lark the thing is the ai can angle them so they explode before they hit the ground

Yeah

Ikr

Scavnet

[grave helm]

I love it when my game randomly crashes while im completly open

It started after the recent update

[brave sinew]

D'you know if it's possible to play on shadow ?

A good new it is ! Thx

[strange mural]

Grizzly in container

So bad value

But ey iys up to preference

[open basin]

my shit randomly crashed

and it counted as a death in raid now

😠

nah mine was chrome crashing

which then caused eft to crash

yeah i have no idea what happened

chrome and edge crashed

then forced my eft to crash

[waxen forge]

Container....Sicc case, CMS, Salewa, Ibuprofen, and then 2 stacks of ammo

[strange mural]

I have surv/cms, docs/sicc and painkiller

Then meds and or ammo if i feel like it

Meds i throw into rig the moment i find anything valuable

[waxen forge]

I'll move meds or ammo out to make room for something valuable.

Sicc holds keys/ money/ etc

[strange mural]

Bud knows the way to go

[strange mural]

And dog tags

[waxen forge]

^

[strange mural]

Sicc is beeg QoL

[open basin]

sicc is 3.2 mill

[strange mural]

Worth it

[open basin]

gonna wait till they do sicc case twitch drops

😎

[waxen forge]

Yea I bought 2 sicc in 1 day a few weeks ago

It also holds bitcoin

[strange mural]

Any coin

[waxen forge]

Subway token?

[open basin]

doc case holds em too 😄

[strange mural]

But dog taaaags

[open basin]

also i found a good way to do grenadier quest

[upbeat flax]

doc case is 4x4 tho

KEKW

[strange mural]

You can collect the names of your fallen enemies!

[open basin]

ima toss the nades into the room that people are doing delivery from the past in factory

[upbeat flax]

sicc fits more things and has more variety

[strange mural]

Flex

[waxen forge]

Tasks, sell, trophy

[upbeat flax]

flexing and quests

[strange mural]

And they are worth monies too

[waxen forge]

Because we can't cut off ears and make a necklace

[strange mural]

Would do it

[fickle kettle]

ah isee you are AS val scum like me den @open basin

[open basin]

i've been using nothing but vss for the past week and a half

[upbeat flax]

scum

[open basin]

9x39 too gud

[vernal halo]

I need to get money going through Jager, and Ragman so I can level them up. Do either of them have any items they give the most for when you sell to them? Skier typically gives the best prices for a lot of things.

[waxen forge]

Best prices selling to....No

Just will have to take some loss and buy from them and sell to them

[upbeat flax]

best way to lvl up Jaeger is SP-8 machetes and Antique Axes

[waxen forge]

^

Then if need to just buy shit and sell it right back to get over the hump

[vernal halo]

Does he give the best prices for those two weapons?

[upbeat flax]

i think so

[vernal halo]

okay, thanks

Rag man I think I'll need to buy sell. I have been selling pretty much all the clothing I find to him, but it doesn't add up too much

Also, what is a better value for buying a weapons case off the Flea market? Normal case, or a THICC case? Normal I think is going for like 1.6 millions, and THICC is over 3 million.

[upbeat flax]

Thicc is like only 40 more slots for 3 times the price

[vernal halo]

I was having trouble looking up the THICC on the wiki, but I found it. Both 10 spaces, but it is 50 for normal, and 90 for THICC.

[upbeat flax]

yeah.. that's what i said

personally not worth it, but i'll keep the one i get from prapor

[vernal halo]

item case is 16 spaces and inside is 64. Next time I'm on I need to compare the prices on flea market. Items case is more flexible

[upbeat flax]

sigh

[waxen forge]

THICC and items case both hold anything

Thicc Weapons case only holds weapons

[vernal halo]

yes

[honest oar]

some reason my dollars isnt be calculated for a trade? shows i have 0 when i have splenty

[upbeat flax]

Items case : 64 slots : 1.4-ish MIL
Thicc items case : 196 slots : 14+ mil
Weapons case : 50 slots - around a mil
thicc weapons case : 90 slots - 3.4-ish mil

[vernal halo]

what is the sigh for?

[flint mist]

is there any reason to complete optional objectives in tasks? i have the gas analyzer for therapeut already, but i could still get access to the pumping station

[waxen forge]

No need

[upbeat flax]

not any reason yet

[vernal halo]

no

[flint mist]

@honest oar do u have it in a case?

[honest oar]

ive tried both

im relogging atm

[vernal halo]

you put the money directly in your stash?

[honest oar]

ive tried both, out and in

[vernal halo]

if it is on your character, or I think too deep inside cases, it won't find it

so yeah, must be a bug

[upbeat flax]

what are you trying to buy

[waxen forge]

A trade? or buying something?

[slender crow]

should i play more a scav at start or main char?

[upbeat flax]

quests - PMC

money - Scav

[waxen forge]

Practice offline PMC to learn maps and get a feel for the game.

Scav to get free shit and practice more

You cannot get loot/Xp offline

[vernal halo]

@upbeat flax what was the sigh you took the time to write out for?

[honest oar]

its showing the euros, just not the dollars on the next tab (refresh button thingy)

[upbeat flax]

aha

flea market glitch

would've been nice if you told me it was flee when i asked

handing it dollars in trades on flea is bugged.

[waxen forge]

Don't do trades on Flea

[honest oar]

.....

[waxen forge]

Usually a losing proposition

[honest oar]

ive done the calculation thanks

[waxen forge]

Just buy for cash

[mighty jasper]

https://i.redd.it/3csmrp3qm3l01.jpg Is this updated?

[waxen forge]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Customs#/media/File:Customs-2d-by-ROFLWOFFL.png

[inner glacier]

I just got attacked by what I can only assume is a scav at very close range as a player scav. I thought they only attacked if you attacked them?

[waxen forge]

Could have been player scav...could have been boss

[mighty jasper]

Cheers

[celest oak]

if they have a pouch slot they are a player scav if you killed him

[scarlet bough]

this is so frustrating

always getting killed in the first minute

[celest oak]

what map?

[scarlet bough]

customs

[mighty jasper]

You can stand your ground for a bit if

[celest oak]

try to learn the spawns so you know where people are

[waxen forge]

It's positioning @scarlet bough

People will push spawn location on Customs ...factory and some other maps

Once you spawn you need to move but also need to know where to move because you could be moving into another spawn or a heavy scav area.

[scarlet bough]

Is customs a good map to start with?

[celest oak]

you have to do it for quests but it is very dangerous

because its very narrow

[waxen forge]

It's not bad as it has the first tasks. I also recommend learning Interchange for loot such as task & hideouot items and then several tasks are there.

Customs is a medium map. Big enough to have room to move but has more chokepoints and you will get forced into pvp more than some of the bigger maps.

[flint mist]

how do you bind items to quick use?

[celest oak]

hover over them and press a number key, has to be in your pocket or rig

[flint mist]

ohh, I guess i kept trying with items from my backpack

ty

[celest oak]

np

[mighty jasper]

ctrl + number

for easier binding

Has to be in vest/pockets though

[celest oak]

@scarlet bough try customs night time if you havent already

[mighty jasper]

Also, keep a free slot in them so you can reload your mags without dropping them

[flint mist]

oh man, I thought I accidentally pressed r twice all the time 😂

[waxen forge]

The mag in the weapon needs a slot to go when you remove it from the weapon

[scarlet bough]

And I got killed again

[waxen forge]

So 1 empty slot in rig or pocket the same size as the mag in the weapon. Mag from weapon goes into that slot then you take a mag from vest/pocket to put into weapon.

[little hinge]

at this point is it worth wearing any armor below class 6? Like even if I wear a class 5 armor people have 90% chance to penetrate it with something like BS ammo which is very easy to have right now. Unless battle buddy is mistaken

[waxen forge]

Armor below 3 is pointless.

However you will still die wearing armor. It's not protection as much as it buys you a split second to survive.

[little hinge]

it feels like armor below 6 is pointless at this point of after wipe

[celest oak]

i usually run the cheap class 4 rigs. very good man

[waxen forge]

Positioning and tactics still are required

[inner glacier]

I am practicing in offline atm, but typically would this be "worth" and extract?

[little hinge]

I consider buying 6B3TM because I don't have much money but then see that it's going to be penetrated with pretty much every ammo people use nowadays

why spend that 47k on it if it can't even hold 1 bullet

[waxen forge]

You don't have a Toz shotgun so don't loot the toz shotgun mags. Never loot mags if you aren't using that weapon...UNLESS they are 60 round AK or M4 mags

Scratch that...i See it

[celest oak]

the alyonka and the red bull are the most value there

[waxen forge]

I still wouldn't loot the mags

But that's me

[inner glacier]

Why @waxen forge ?

just not worth selling or?

[celest oak]

and ibprofen

[waxen forge]

Toz isn't worth selling

[celest oak]

tarcola is good too

[little hinge]

unless the mag is for an expensive weapon or it's above 30 rounds don't loot at all

[waxen forge]

However you will need to turn in a couple for a task so you can keep it til you get that task

However I would never loot a Toz after I finished the task

[inner glacier]

ok cool thanks

[waxen forge]

and i NEVER loot mags

Just take up space...not worth the space to selling ratio

60 round AK mags and decent...I use them...and they are needed for a task

60 round M4 mags are also valuable.

[inner glacier]

So overall - worth extracting or?

[celest oak]

i would say yes if you need money

[waxen forge]

Yea you are decent

[celest oak]

might make you 100k

[waxen forge]

Just for future reference don't loot the mags in future or at the very least just sell them as soon as you get to stash

[heavy quest]

@celest oak: you said something about pouches and player scavs, I didn't understand. Is there a way to quickly identify player scavs?

[waxen forge]

Mags just go to Mechanic

Not quick @heavy quest If you kill a scav/player scav then they will have a Pouch Slot on their body.

[inner glacier]

Sorry to be a pain, but do you guys have any idea where I am? Im trying to get to trailer park on customs

[waxen forge]

As far as when they are alive it's based on movement and such

You are near Military checkpoint

[celest oak]

@heavy quest it will be empty though

[heavy quest]

npc scavs dont have pouch slots?

[waxen forge]

Complete opposite side of the map

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Customs#/media/File:Customs-2d-by-ROFLWOFFL.png

[celest oak]

no they dont

[waxen forge]

You are near 19 on that map @inner glacier

You need to go to 2

[celest oak]

the pouch slot = secure container slot. they wont actually see it as a scav but the emty slot is there is you look at their body

[heavy quest]

thats interesting to know

[inner glacier]

Sick - cross referenced it with another map - I think I am at Shack?

Long way to run @waxen forge haha

[waxen forge]

yup

[celest oak]

turn around and run toward new gas station

[inner glacier]

btw what are the golden stars on the guns?

[fickle kettle]

quest item + found in raid

[waxen forge]

That's the check mark

He means the weapon mastery symbol thing

[fickle kettle]

oh

[celest oak]

its your weapon proficiency, dont worry about it

[inner glacier]

ah 🙂

What's the lowest value here? Looking to make space

[celest oak]

the cigarette is useless

well the white one

with blue circle

fmj rounds are crap

[inner glacier]

Feel like learning the value of stuff is going to be so hard

[open basin]

eh it's not too bad

[bronze ice]

Toz mags

[open basin]

you just start to remember it when you play a lot

[amber saffron]

yeah

[celest oak]

its really important though

[bronze ice]

adrenaline is expensive

[celest oak]

https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/thumb/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png/2560px-QuestItemRequirements.png

[amber saffron]

try to keep most of the stuff you'll need for quests

@celest oak lul

[celest oak]

hehe

[open basin]

@amber saffron what lvl are you now

[celest oak]

the ones highlighted you need to find in raid

[amber saffron]

@open basin ill be 15 in one quest

[open basin]

nice

you can start running class 4 every raid now

[amber saffron]

noice

because when im 15, ill have every level 2 trader unlocked

[open basin]

all my quests are either in woods or i have to use some dumbass gun that i dont want to use

so my leveling has stalled

[amber saffron]

as ive already spent the money on them and have the rep required

what level are you

[open basin]

30

[amber saffron]

oh damn

[open basin]

i got every trader at lvl 3

except peacekeeper

i have him at 4

[amber saffron]

i already have therapist and peacekeeper at 2

[open basin]

i have enough rep and money spent to get max on every trader except jaeger

[full harbor]

wtf

i crashed when i examined a phone

after killing 5 guys

as a sacv

do i lose progress

[celest oak]

unlucky

quick get back in

[open basin]

yeah i randomly crashed earlier when my chrome crashed

[full harbor]

i was a scav tho

[open basin]

relaunched it and i was considered dead

[full harbor]

rip

cant load back in

[celest oak]

can you not re-join raid as a scav?

[full harbor]

nah

20min cd

[inner glacier]

wtf is a golden rooster?

[celest oak]

its good, 55k

[amber saffron]

take it

its valuable

what level are you @inner glacier

[scarlet bough]

what retarded bullshit is this

I couldn't shoot

and I couldn't reload

[amber saffron]

did you have ammo

and mags?

[scarlet bough]

I just spawned as scav

I shot like 7 bullets

and I was empty

I had an AK?

[amber saffron]

did you have any ammo?

in your bag

[scarlet bough]

Full mag

I don't think an AK mag only holds 7 bullets

[amber saffron]

it doesnt

where did you have the mag @scarlet bough

[heavy quest]

I had something like this happen to me Dylaan, but it was my fault. I reloaded the mag with the wrong ammo type.

[inner glacier]

@amber saffron I dont know. 2 i think. i only just started.

[amber saffron]

thats really good loot for a level 2

damn

what map?

[inner glacier]

Customs - offline

[amber saffron]

oh

then you dont get to keep any of that

[scarlet bough]

I spawned as scav

[inner glacier]

Wait what :o?

[scarlet bough]

I don't think I spawn as scav with a half empty mag

and without any other mags

[amber saffron]

yes because you're playing offline

@scarlet bough it is possible

[inner glacier]

Oh fuck...

I just spent so long microing to get out lmao

[amber saffron]

its good practice

[inner glacier]

well... that'll teach me haha

[amber saffron]

yeah

[willow valley]

Do I waste a labs key card trying it on offline?

[amber saffron]

@willow valley no

[inner glacier]

I dont understand though. when I double tapped O it said I could extract at Crossroads or Trailer park, but then I walked by Smuggler's boat and it let me extract anyway?

[amber saffron]

uhh

did it have ??? in front of smuggler's boat?

[willow valley]

Do I lose anything on offline?or does my inventory stay the same when I come back

[amber saffron]

same

you dont even lose health

[inner glacier]

the ?? ones were blocked

[amber saffron]

or anything you use

[celest oak]

you can extract at smugglers boat if you spawn at the construction side. and no one has extracted at the boat yet

[amber saffron]

yeah a max of 4 or 7 players an extract i think?

[inner glacier]

I see 🙂

[celest oak]

the boat will have a lit up camp fire if its open to extract

[open basin]

!ammo

[tribal robin]

[inner glacier]

So last question for now - I had a bag (Bag A) , with another bag (Bag B) in it and another bag in that (Bag C). I found a very large bag (Bag D) so I clicked "discard" on my current bag (Bag A) to put it on the floor and picked the very large one (Bag D) off the body. I could then only pick up the two bags (Bags B & C) I had inside my original bag off the discarded bag (Bag A) on the floor, and couldn't pick that one up. Is this normal/is there something i'm doing wrong?

if that makes sense...

[celest oak]

you should be able to get all the bags that are there

[inner glacier]

hope edits make my question clearer

how do I then get Bag A off the floor?

because I only saw the "Search Bag A" on the tooltip

[celest oak]

i understand whats going wrong

[inner glacier]

brb making a tea - will check back on my return 🙂

[celest oak]

you cant place a bag within a bag unless there is an empty slot available. so you need to place bag a in bag c. you are trying to place it in bag b but bag b is full if that makes sense

[autumn sand]

so I just stabbed a dude 10 times and he didnt die, what are knifes good for? I didnt expectg it to one shot mobs but still

[waxen forge]

Nothing really

[celest oak]

try to get an antique axe. they drop off scavs sometimes. and make sure when you are meleeing you get head shots.

[waxen forge]

Head hit him

Otherwise shoot them

[autumn sand]

I went in unarmed to see if I can get by

would have worked but 10 literal hits barely did any damage

[waxen forge]

If you die with no weapon when you get to stash you will only have 1% health. If you die with a weapon when you return to stash you will have 30% health

BSG is actively trying to discourage hatchet running

[celest oak]

if you mush your body into scavs their mussel will go up in the air and they cant really hit you

[slender marten]

Are people in this server actually playing together or is this more of a chat discord?

[waxen forge]

Plenty play together

Do #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can actually see all of Discord

Including #pvp-lfg

[slender marten]

thanks a lot brdracin 🙂

[waxen forge]

np

[rich cloak]

Read the frekickng rules God dammit

[scarlet bough]

How is sniping in this game?

[waxen forge]

Can be fun

[pseudo mural]

can also be super frustrating

[full harbor]

i dont like the fps drops

when scoping in

feels too heavy

[bronze ice]

Sniping is easy, looting the gear is hard

Unless you're just doing quests

[waxen forge]

Hardest fact to accept. Sometimes you have to leave the loot on the body if the body drops in a bad spot.

[full harbor]

no

kill me now

wtf

second time

with good loot

screen stuck on this

can only hear now

[rich cloak]

[waxen forge]

Task manager close the game

Then restart

Hope you are in enough cover while re-loading

[full harbor]

im scav tho 😦

[waxen forge]

Doesn't matter

[full harbor]

does

u cant load back in

as scav

[waxen forge]

Yes u can

[full harbor]

i tried earlier

cd resets

[waxen forge]

Just force the game closed

That's because you died while relogging

If you don't die you can relog

[full harbor]

welp

leme try

[waxen forge]

Don't "disconnect"

You have to just force the game closed with task manager

Then when you reload the game if you haven't died it will give the choice to relog.

Happens.

[scarlet bough]

lol i escape to early

[waxen forge]

"run through" not really a big deal

You just get less XP

[scarlet bough]

i got 0xp

[waxen forge]

and if doing a task that requires "survive" it won't count

Run through and loot is still loot...

was it offline?

If so doesn't matter

XP for offline doesn't count anyway

[scarlet bough]

It was online

[full harbor]

omg

[waxen forge]

No biggie

[full harbor]

i still connecting

how

theres like 10 guys shooting

im alive

omg

[waxen forge]

See

Now gtfo

[full harbor]

nvm

[autumn sand]

is there a way to swap items with drag and drop?

[waxen forge]

Swap?

Example?

[autumn sand]

you drag food over some bullets it should swap places

[waxen forge]

Nope

Would have to move 1st item to another spot...then move 2nd item in

[autumn sand]

guess there is a reason the game is still in beta lol

[upbeat flax]

@autumn sand just because this game doesn't do it like that one game doesn't mean it's the reason its "beta"

[full harbor]

i dont understand

cp fence

how do i leave as scav there

[waxen forge]

Just walk into the area

[full harbor]

hm

not working

[waxen forge]

Past tank

[full harbor]

omg crashed again

im following along cliff

and i found the fence

[autumn sand]

inventory management is super important in games like these, since it can get you killed

I remember how often it happened in Dayz lol

[waxen forge]

!wiki Reserve

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Reserve

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Reserve

Reserve is a location in Escape from Tarkov.

[waxen forge]

CP is below the golf ball dome thing.

Near where the mountain meets the concrete fence...past a tank

Just walk into the area

[full harbor]

i am

cant really take screenshot

its night

see

wont let me extract

[mighty jasper]

Why does the shooting range limit me to the ammo in my rig?

[waxen forge]

U aren't there yet from what I see

[mighty jasper]

I just wanna practice spraying :(

[waxen forge]

Yes

Ammo in rig

[mighty jasper]

darn

[full harbor]

im next to the tree now

and still wont extract

[bold kernel]

@mighty jasper taking 2 steps back from the shooting r ange and walking up again is just as quick as reloading anyway

[waxen forge]

https://youtu.be/gKECvanF9gI

[mighty jasper]

Oh

You can do that?

[waxen forge]

Check vid @full harbor

[steep oracle]

What do you guys do when your scav is cooldown and your pmc is dead? I feel like i spend so much time in this game waiting around 💤

[scarlet bough]

Same here

[bronze ice]

Heal up your PMC

[waxen forge]

Buy meds

[bronze ice]

[waxen forge]

Heal

[steep oracle]

is it worth spending the money to heal outside of combat then?

[waxen forge]

Depends

[bronze ice]

That's your choice

[scarlet bough]

I only have 150k lol

[steep oracle]

I'm on about 100k

[waxen forge]

If you have a scav available then you can scav and that time will help heal

Otherwise it's up to you if you want to spend the $

[mighty jasper]

^ I do that all the time, saves me a lot of money

[waxen forge]

However if you use your scav properly $ is easy to make

[mighty jasper]

Also, try buying a reasonably priced Grizzly kit if you're going to heal outside of raid, most money efficient item as far as I know

[steep oracle]

Whats the most effective way to use your scav @waxen forge

[waxen forge]

If you are hurting for $ then you shouldn't be using scav to go kill shit

[full harbor]

my lord

i get so much loot

and still cant extract

this game

[steep oracle]

Normally I'm just trying to get the scav to extract to get a free gun but of course doesn't normally work out that way!

[honest tusk]

for the prapor debut quest do you have to kill the scavs as pmc?

[full harbor]

nah

the extract is broken

i just killed a guy trying to get to it

[waxen forge]

Use scav on Interchange. Loot Pc's in Olie and Goshan. Sneak around. Don't look for fight. Then try tech stores right near Olie...but don't go to the middle. Exfil...Ccehck price and sell to flea is it's better if not Therapist

[mighty jasper]

@steep oracle Don't do that, use scav on Interchange/resort and loot things

Your gun is hardly worth 20k probably

[waxen forge]

Did u watch the video @full harbor

[mighty jasper]

The loot you can get is more around 200k

[waxen forge]

Is it your Exfil?

[full harbor]

yes

im scav

[waxen forge]

Did you double tap O

[full harbor]

whats that do

[waxen forge]

Just because you are a scav doesn't mean it's your exfil

[mighty jasper]

Show you your extracts

[steep oracle]

it shows the names of places you can extract

[scarlet bough]

are you on the right exfil?

[mighty jasper]

You only have a few extracts you can use

Usually at the the opposite side of the map

[full harbor]

1 sec

[vernal pumice]

I just died from someone camping Road to Mil Base damn campers

[mighty jasper]

Learn from it Kyle, we've all been there :/

[mighty jasper]

Yeah just use any of these

[steep oracle]

is there a way to get a map in game? its a lot of effort to keep alt-tabbing out

[waxen forge]

You do not have CP

[mighty jasper]

Wait..

oh god

[full harbor]

what

[waxen forge]

Hole by fence is closest to you

[full harbor]

i went to it

and it dont work

[waxen forge]

In-game maps are useless

U went to an exfil that was not for u

That's why it didn't work

[mighty jasper]

He has 8 minutes on reserve ;_;

[waxen forge]

Just because an exfil is listed on the map does not mean it is your exfil

At the beginning of a Raid...double tap O

It will show you YOUR exfils

Go to one of them

? mark exfil means POSSIBLE but not GUARANTEED.

[steep oracle]

how do you work out how to get there, if there's no way to know your current location? Or am I missing something obvious?

[waxen forge]

https://youtu.be/0swSejWc66w

Have to learn the map...recognize landmarks

[steep oracle]

wow okay

[waxen forge]

Think of it as how we got places before Google maps told us where to turn and every other little detail

[steep oracle]

haha true

The learning curve is a lot harder than I expected!

[full harbor]

ofmg

the game keeps crashing

wtf is wrong

never used to crash

[bold kernel]

@full harbor verify files

[full harbor]

worst time to crash

i got 4mins

ima try and make a run to that hole

with a broken lefg

[bold kernel]

how are you gonna run with a broken leg

[full harbor]

[steep oracle]

with a lot of pain haha

[cyan bane]

how does the region lock work?

[full harbor]

what haps if u dont extract in time

[steep oracle]

U die and lose everything

(that u didnt insure)

[scarlet bough]

i'm going crazy

I think I hear things, but there is nothing

[small perch]

WAZZUP everyone !! how's the drops for you guys ?

[bold kernel]

@cyan bane you can play on any server you want

@small perch got a red rebel, gave up on drops after that

[cyan bane]

I'm currently in korea and will be going to uk soon

[bold kernel]

made around 2,5mil by now

[cyan bane]

so i was worried xd

[small perch]

haha got one as well @bold kernel !! i would sya i made around 4 mil with drops so far

[vernal pumice]

They slowed down shortly after I opened the game to claim all that I had gotten so far, it was every 3 hours, now not sure what's going on, I relinked too.

[full harbor]

rip

i lost all loot

fukin stupid crashed

[bold kernel]

@cyan bane it depends on what version you bought

europe can be used anywhere

us is tied to us

afaik

same for rouble countries

[cyan bane]

why would you buy abythingo ther than europe?

[bold kernel]

cuz cheaper?

[cyan bane]

ohhh

[waxen forge]

@cyan bane When you party the person who does the invite to the party is the "host". I'm US and play with UK. If my UK friend invites me I'm on UK servers. If I invite him he's on US.

[bold kernel]

rouble prices are like 30% lower

[full harbor]

how do i verify files

for takrov

[cyan bane]

so europe version is slightly more expensive but you can play in all the regions right

[bold kernel]

@full harbor launcher

@cyan bane yes

[cyan bane]

what happens if you bought us version

and went to uk?

can you only connect to us?

[bold kernel]

regionlocked

[cyan bane]

oh so you can't open the game?

[waxen forge]

@cyan bane I think parts of the UK can play on NY servers

At least I'm pretty sure my friend has done that

US can choose UK servers

[full harbor]

where

[waxen forge]

@cyan bane also hit up #news-setup and #521628660298678283 so you can unlock all of Discord

[bold kernel]

@full harbor somewhere idk

[full harbor]

nvm found it

ty

@waxen forge

if i lose to the timer

as a scav

[cyan bane]

thanks guys

[full harbor]

is my body still there

[waxen forge]

No

[full harbor]

rip

[waxen forge]

If don't make it out in time it's dead

[full harbor]

but the body still stays there right

so people can loot

[waxen forge]

If the timer is over then that raid is over

[full harbor]

oh ok

[bold kernel]

@full harbor the timer

is the match timer

like when u hit 16 rounds on csgo

the server kicks everyone

and is used for the next game

[split vapor]

Well csgo is trash

[bold kernel]

offtopic?

@split vapor nice 2.7h in csgo though omegalul

[hollow galleon]

I really like this game but I think I'm like the worst player in exsistence I can kill any scav but always die to player they always 1 shot me so I can never extract is there a map to earn money just so I can play offline with good gear?

[bold kernel]

@hollow galleon wear armor

[hollow galleon]

even with armor

[bold kernel]

what tier

[hollow galleon]

I had bought 4 lvl 4 and lost them all

[bold kernel]

insurance?

[hollow galleon]

never got them back

[bold kernel]

play as a scav then

interchange

[bronze ice]

I still never wear armor at level 23

[hollow galleon]

armor seems like the most pointless thing ever

[bronze ice]

I'm not sure I can recommend using it at the start

[hollow galleon]

I just get shot in the legs and die within 3 bullets

[bold kernel]

@hollow galleon lmao what

[bronze ice]

It takes time, you will die many times at the start

[bold kernel]

have you tried moving or shooting back?

[bronze ice]

That's just how it is

It's a hardcore game

[hollow galleon]

lol I was just asking for a way to make money so I can play offline

everyone kills me instantly so I'm clearly not good enough but enjoy the game

[bold kernel]

and i answered

scav interchange

[bronze ice]

You don't need to be a good shot, you just need to learn the maps

[bold kernel]

learn the map

and you won't even run into players

[hollow galleon]

alright

[inner glacier]

Which skills should I get first guys?

[bold kernel]

uh

you don't get skills

[steep oracle]

you get them just by playing

[inner glacier]

oh they're automatic

[steep oracle]

you dont need to like allocate skill points or anything

[inner glacier]

i see 🙂

[bold kernel]

they give you minor increases to stuff

[inner glacier]

Also - as a new player should I actually be spending any of my roubles to "buy" loudouts or just use what I earn from scav runs?

[bold kernel]

latter

[bronze ice]

IMO - neither

Sell the stuff and buy eco gear

Like vepr

[bold kernel]

i mean

[thorny storm]

are there any perks or downsides when it comes to picking a faction?

[inner glacier]

So I shouldn't even use the base pistols I was given when I started? I havent done any PMC runs yet. I should sell those pistols? @bronze ice

I don't even have flea market unlocked yet

[bronze ice]

The Makarovs are pretty cheap

The 9x19 ones are worth selling IMO

[bold kernel]

stuff from scavs is sometimes salvagable

like ak/veprs

but obviously you don't wanna run paca on your pmc

[bronze ice]

And trading for a vepr

[ashen coyote]

asalam aleykoum someone to play with ?

[inner glacier]

I don't see a makarov? @bronze ice

[waxen forge]

Reddish handle

[inner glacier]

Should I sell the 9x19 to the vendors then, or did you mean sell on flea market when available?

[waxen forge]

4th pistol down

[bronze ice]

Flea market

[waxen forge]

Break weapons into parts. Skier then rest to mechanic

[bronze ice]

Also sell the tactical rigs

Or that

[waxen forge]

It's a waste of time selling most basic weapons on flea

[inner glacier]

Will do 🙂

out of interested - why sell the rigs?

[lusty pebble]

just as curious why sell the 9x19?

[rich cloak]

9mm is very bad atm

[bronze ice]

They're worth too much for too little actual use

[inner glacier]

@waxen forge @bronze ice The mods/ammo too?

[bronze ice]

Buy scav vests instead

[waxen forge]

Yes

Maybe suppressor and optics on flea but basic weapons it's not worth it.

[lusty pebble]

what are the decent pistols then?

[waxen forge]

You can sell multiple items immediately and instant payment vs 3 at a time.

Also u need to spend with traders to level them.

[bronze ice]

@inner glacier I'd recommended checking out the gear/economy parts of guides like this one

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/bvsz6r/escape_from_tarkov_new_player_guide/

[inner glacier]

"You can sell multiple items immediately and instant payment vs 3 at a time." what do you mean sorry? @waxen forge

[bronze ice]

for more in-depth explanations

[inner glacier]

Alrighty, will take a look

[waxen forge]

On flea you have 3 offers you can place. Then when they sell can add more. On trader you can sell as much as you want vs flea having to wait for the item to sell.

[sonic rapids]

Am I correct that melee weapons can't be looted from PMCs?

[waxen forge]

Many things are just easier to sell to traders for same $ as flea. Some items do make more $ on flea and you should check prices but factor in tax and time.

Yes @sonic rapids

[sonic rapids]

@waxen forge So the scabbard slot basically works the same as the secure container for melee weapons, in that sense?

[waxen forge]

Basically
