fluid path
yeah
terse summit
hahahahaha this fanny was shooting at me and I extracted just in time
Im playing like such a bitch just running around grabbing as many things as I can and leave not going for kills
is that fine?
terse summit
Cool my dumb ass forgot a backpack though so had to cut it early
fluid path
theres no wrong way to play, altho i guess if you end up broke thats lame
terse summit
Why does it let you take the guns of the scav raid
Its free guns
At the end I just take the shotgun
fluid path
thats the point
if youre down on your luck as PMC< scav keeps you in the game
theres a timer to slow down gimmicking it just running to extract instantly
i think it helps people see maps from different perspectives and get over dying and gear fear
polar atlas
how can i mount pu scope to a mosin? it doesnt seem to work, got kochetov, ring and the scope :/
fluid path
your mosin has to accept the mount
i think only sniper version of mosin does
the Infantry rifles do not
polar atlas
oh i see
terse summit
Who do I sell ammo to
fluid path
mechanic should buy it
fluid path
oh the packs
empty the bullets out and discard the boxes
fence might buy the whole pack
but nobody buys empty packs with 0 bullets
acoustic mantle
could anyone help me out i just started today and got some basic gear
terse summit
Yep fence buys the whole box
glossy owl
Any other beginners having a hard time getting started? I find myself only doing scav runs because I get wrecked on my main
terse summit
Same im just trying to make some coin on scav runs then try my main
ember plover
@glossy owl I’ve been having the same issue. I’m running offline between Scav runs a lot to learn the maps and test gear and Scav tactics and Scavs
glossy owl
Rough life... that 20 min que kills me
acoustic mantle
wait a second you should switch servers
glossy owl
@ember plover I do the same, focusing on customs because thats where the first set of quest are
20 min wait to use my scav lol
terse summit
@fluid path If I am doing a scav run and do my quests and die halfway through do i lose my progress towards the task do I have to extract
ember plover
I am a little worried on the second Prapor quest, it’s in dorms, every match that place is a killing ground and usually covered by the better skilled and geared players
astral sundial
i just started playing i need help asap!!!
crimson lichen
@terse summit scav runs will not progress most quest. If it has to do with recovering a certain item or finding things in raid then as long as you extract as a scav it will count. Anything having to do with killing other scav or PMC will not count as a scav.
ember plover
I don’t mind the difficulty, it’s what makes it rewarding, though the 2nd tier unlocks at 15 seems so far away
polar atlas
Lvl to be frank is not high
terse summit
@crimson lichen Wait so my task is to kill 5 scavs and If I am on a scav run it wont add to the task
ember plover
I’m sure it will be easier as. I learn the game, I’m just new and stink
crimson lichen
@terse summit correct, no progress on that one as a scav
fluid path
but as PMC, you dont lose quest progress if you die
polar atlas
kinda not true
fluid path
exception is items picked up in raid, incl quest items
polar atlas
^this
median rapids
what is the progress besides the loot
fluid path
quest chains unlock stuff from traders, give lots of xp and money
polar atlas
which also unlock hideout upgrades
fluid path
theyre like challenges that push you to try new stuff, and usually get you killed a few times tbh
like, go get this document case from the middle of the map where everybody is sniping 🙂
polar atlas
crimson lichen
@ember plover you can cheese it slightly if you have the funds. You can buy items from a merchant then sell them right back, you lose money of course but you will get that back no prob
polar atlas
For leveling prapor i found that the ms2000 quest markers can be sold for almost the same price on the flea market.
for ragman the steel helmets sell well on flea for pretty much the same price, since they are limtied per trader reset
crimson lichen
@fluid path The most enticing thing about completing all quests is def the Kappa container
polar atlas
no guarantee that it works for you as well tho
toxic panther
do scavs run?
i literally have seen AI scavs run and not sure if they are player or not
and would i have killed him if this headshot landed
meager salmon
@toxic panther in the clip u just missed ? unlucky
lean ivy
is there a way to speed up or decrease scav timer
fluid path
think u can speed it up if you level intelligence center in hideout
steep barn
Hey guys, how can you get a Dogtag case without purchasing from Flea Market? It's expensive af.
lime surge
ill be honest i havent even SEEN a gas analyzer in raid
whats a good place to get them guaranteed
fluid path
interchange should have one between Oli/techlight and the downstairs tech store @lime surge
maybe check the power plant too
you occasionally can find them in filing cabinets
bold kernel
whats cheap but effective armor
fluid path
against scavs? geared players?
bold kernel
uh im running factory with a keder
fluid path
zhuk 3 press armor is level 3, trooper TFO is level4, 6b13 is level 5
huh. maybe buy a cheap PACA
level 2/3 armor will only help you against scavs and boys running cheapo guns
mellow sapphire
wait playing a scav doesn't get me any xp?
terse summit
Can I find guns in reserve?
terse summit
Ok
fluid path
the dorm buildings...all over
mellow sapphire
fuck but i dont make it out alive bruv
ok thanks
ill go back to not running scav
fluid path
hrm. slow down and try the bigger maps
mellow sapphire
whats a good map
fluid path
interchange i mint money as scav
fluid path
big store, lots of crates, items to fill backpacks with
customs is light on loot, mostly quests and pvp
try interchange.
fluid path
parking garage areas A-D, the red grocery store, the green department store
these are good places to look for as scav
mellow sapphire
time to raid the ikea boys

is there any way i can make my scav cooldown to be less?
bold kernel
Heya. So I'm planning on buying Tarkov tomorrow and all I've watched is videos of people playing it. Any tips before I buy it perhaps?
fluid path
vepr km 136 @bold kernel
dense ibex
or is it 20mins period.
bold kernel
@dense ibex I think with hideout upgrades it changes
Usually you want to cycle scav and pmc runs though
gilded ridge
yeah the intelligence center thing
bold kernel
Run scav then pmc, cycle
dense ibex
yea thats what i do
bold kernel
@fluid path and that has mounts for sights etc?
dense ibex
just wondering if i can make it faster though
fluid path
recommend tt-01 to use a micro sight
lilac belfry
You will reach a point where you'll have enough meds to keep running as a PMC
fluid path
you can also put a dust cover on it with a rail for a big scope
plucky reef
@bold kernel Prepare to die and lose gear
bold kernel
How much does vepr go for on flea
fluid path
20k? 25k?
plucky reef
17k i think
bold kernel
Sounds about right, thanks 😂
fluid path
even better
lilac belfry
Sell it to vendors
Get your rep up
Break down the gun completely
Sell to Skier then Therapist then Mechanjc in that order
bold kernel
Something near that alright. Sounds good. I know it shoots a great caliber, is powerfuland accurate. Thanks.
lilac belfry
They give you the most money per item
fluid path
if you want to clap PMCs, you need to spring for 7.62x39 BP
bold kernel

lilac belfry

fluid path
PS ammo is cheaper but wont threaten geared players
bold kernel
I know ammo etc
fluid path
kk
bold kernel
It's an investment. You waste more money on ammo that doesn't penetrate.
fluid path
modded vepr will have 30 round mags, low recoil, lots of sights
lilac belfry
Slap an OKP sight on it
fluid path
often comes back on insurance
bold kernel
Yeah how much is the hunter?
sonic rapids
What is the number with the hexagon icon below the merchant name in the fleamarket? Is it some kind of reputation or something?
fluid path
10 round mags max
bold kernel
Hunter is a gun I run a bit
fluid path
m80 is cheaper thats for sure
plucky reef
is the saiga 9 useable at customs?
fluid path
saiga 9 is pretty bad

Definitely the 10 5
royal elbow
Where can I find ammo for a tt-105 mag?
bold kernel
I'm not too new. I'm 2 days old but I mean, I can slay out and extract fine, so I'm well off.
bold kernel
I also know a fair bit about ballistics armor and insurance
lilac belfry
Saiga 9 will be fine with the right bullet
fluid path
or, if you really want 9mm, get a PP-19 so its full auto
plucky reef
ah yeah i just found one with a silencer
bold kernel
Saiga is... Ehhh
lilac belfry
Dont let anyone tell you a gun is bad
dawn harness
if im focused on just leveling... just play pmc yes?
lilac belfry
They are just bad with it
plucky reef
oh ok
lilac belfry
The Vityas is what you want
bold kernel
It's just that customs is such a big map
bold kernel
Man, I'm convinced that I can print money by buying guns off flea and stripping then selling them to merchants
I made 30k off a vss
fluid path
you need a suppressor to be silenced
abstract token
@bold kernel just base AK's and stuff?
fluid path
if you mean, subsonic ammo, no
bold kernel
?
fluid path
there are, its not implemented correctly
supersonic rounds get made to sound subsonic
abstract token
what did you do to make 30k?
bold kernel
I mean I buy as val for like 70k on flea, and they sell for higher than the buy on flea.
Strip and sell and you make money off the parts too
abstract token
hmm
lilac belfry
The Vityaz can be as efficient as an MP5 just not right out the box, need to kit it
plucky reef
cool can u link that preset?
abstract token
uhhh i tried with an AK-74u and i didn't make any money. I lost 2k in fact
lilac belfry
RK-3 pistol grip. PT-3 Klassika stock, EXPS eotech sight, Osprey suppressor, Magpul handguard, Shift foregrip
i forget the dust cover and bigger mag
bold kernel
theres no 10.5 barrels for a m4 that i see

What is early termination? Third time now where the screen just fades to black and I just get kicked out of the game. Lost nothing just says early termination

@abstract token tried reselling to merchants?

pseudo fulcrum
is it reccomended to do offline play first or just jump right into online play?

It only works with certain guns that sell for a lot to merchants
onyx imp
how do i convert an adar to an m4?
abstract token
ah i see
bold kernel
Ak sells for pretty cheap
abstract token
like the as val?
bold kernel
I'm not too sure, I'll try it and report back later
lilac belfry
All you need to do is sawp the gun component of an M4 and Adar
strip it all the way down to the lower receiver
onyx imp
i added the receiver, not sure what else i needdddddd
abstract token
please do, I like to print moneyt
bold kernel
But I remember making money off buying a vss from flea then reselling
lilac belfry
ANything that goes on an M4 can go n an ADAR
bold kernel
Community opinion on the vss is somewhat low so they aren't big ticket items on flea
onyx imp
okay
lilac belfry
VSS is just as good, just can't kit it as much
still shoots hurtful bulets
and tbh it performs just as well
never let the community affect what you do :3
do not be sheeps
that's how we wolves hunt you
onyx imp
can you DM me the parts I need?
pseudo fulcrum
how shouild i start playing thius game

You can use that VSS to make yourself hundreds of thousands of roubles

I'm about 3 weeks in and my survivability in raids is slowly improving both a a scav and pmc. I'm running a lot less and am taking smarter routes as my map knowledge grows. Also headphones are a gigantic help (the item in game, obvs they're a must to play the game as a peripheral).
fathom loom
generally speaking
at the start i would honestly just shoot everything
it takes practise to know whats player or scav
bold kernel
I only know 2 maps and even then I still use a map for customs

its easy to use and not a top down 2d one

@spice ocean you can always pick a map, jump in there in offline mode and without scavs and run around to get your bearings.
bold kernel
Or I forget pain meds and I limp for like half a hour just to get one tapped
nocturne nebula
Yup that's the map. Recently got updated with scav areas and stashes!

is mosin better than sks?

Depends on the situation
There are no better guns, just different applications and bullets. SKS is easier to use for sure

My bad
mellow stag
How long does it take to get a drop?
rich cloak
Lab access card is one time the others aren't
bronze oak
people wouldnt buy a key for 5 million if it was one time. that would be almost impossible to make a profit off of.
rich cloak
@mellow stag it's random
mellow stag
Do you need to follow the channel you are watching?
rich cloak
No

kk
rich cloak
And opening multiple doesn't increase odds
ripe linden
Does Tarkov have bullet drop?
waxen tinsel
Yes
rich cloak
Yes
ripe linden
Significant? I'm trying to figure out how much it matters for long range sniping
rich cloak
Its pretty tame tho
waxen tinsel
Not that bad
rich cloak
What do you call long range sniping?
waxen tinsel
especially if you fuck with the zeroing
ripe linden
Eh this was like 100 yards so hardly long range
just across a field in woods basically
rich cloak
If you are zeroed for 50m and shoot someone at 300m you bullet will hit roughly 1.6m lower than where you aimed. For reference the playermodels in tarkob are 1.75m afaik
ripe linden
how does one adjust zeroing?
rich cloak
Page up and down while ads
ripe linden
Appreciated, killing 15 scavs on woods seemed like it would be easier from hiding with a hunting rifle lol
rich cloak
It is
fluid path
drop is super weird after like 200 yd
it bizarrely falls off like the bullet was moving 1000 fps
bronze oak
how do you guys deal with the stupid scope sensitivity issue? I want to run more variable scopes but they mess my aim up cause itll be super sensitive or not very sensitive at all.
fluid path
avoid the problematic ones
bronze oak
the sensitivity change usually gets me killed
do i just test em out or are there specific ones?
bronze oak
hmm ok
rich cloak
Jup
bronze oak
i guess ill try offline more with them
fluid path
people generally think the valday is the best of them all
the fixed scopes or dots are probably where you want to be at
bronze oak
maybe its something in my settings ill try a dpi change on my mouse.
fluid path
i like the HHS-1 eotech, dot with magnifier, doesnt seem to have the sensitivity thing
bronze oak
ill try that one out!
rich cloak
And that is why I use a mouse with a sniper button 
open frost
I don’t get it. I have my game at minimum graphics and I have good specs and my game still runs like sh!t
rich cloak
Feels tarkov man
rich cloak
Try turning your settings up
I heared that It can make the game run more stable
Not sure tho
Also at the beginning of every raid open your settings and press save
abstract token
OK, I watched Veritas's video on sound, and I can generally tell where people are around me, but it feels impossible to tell if they're above me or not. What do I do?
rich cloak
Oh and you can go into the launchersettings and select "close launcher when game is running" that should save some FPS too
open frost
Aight
rich cloak
@abstract token wait for a actual soundengine to be implemented 
No but seriously vertical sound is fucked
abstract token
rich cloak
Apperently we are getting steam sound in 0.13
dawn harness
how many mins in does dorms v-ex/old gate road open?
undone brook
Can you cap the game higher than 120 FPS?
dawn harness
im a pmc but its closed 😦 i have roubles, i remember it takes roubles
rich cloak
@undone brook no
undone brook
damn
abstract token
OK, that makes me happier.
Could I like turn my head up to see if they are above me? would that work?
dawn harness
oh
abstract token
e
undone brook
What do you guys think is the best map to start off in?
undone brook
Ok, Thanks!
abstract token
altho i just got rekt in factory so darago is probably right lmao
rich cloak
Interchange has easiest money
abstract token
that map just feels so intimidating with its large size
rich cloak
Factory is not good for anything but mindless pvp
rich cloak
I don't think I understand the question
abstract token
Well, when you play interchange, is there anything you do differently from when you play on reserve or customs?
gritty prairie
any advice for learning extractions?
gritty prairie
where can I set up offline mode?
rich cloak
I mean you can
@gritty prairie choose your map and press next until you have th option.
gritty prairie
thanks
rich cloak
Should be second or third page
gritty prairie
i got so excited my first game dropped in with my pmc and got killed bc I didnt know how to leave
rain quest
a second monitor is kinda needed in this game huh
abstract token
listen I hate to ask so many questions drag so thank you but uh - once ammo gets to a high enough pen value (and so they increase in price from what I've seen like M86A1 vs M855) do they actually stop killing on headshot?
rich cloak
@rain quest not really
abstract token
[against bald]
fluid path
they drop bullet damage to balance
in the case of 5.45 ammo it does
igolnik usually cant headshot in 1 shot
rich cloak
@abstract token as long as you deal 35 damage to the head it kills
There is currently one type of ammo that doesn't which is 7n39 igolnik
And I'm happy to help that's why I'm in here lol
abstract token
Veritas says that helmets really don't help that much [heavily paraphrasing]. Is that actually true?
rich cloak
Yeah kinda
bold kernel
Anyone got a gun build for me, 60k ammo and gun
rich cloak
Pmcs will be bale to pen your helmet
fluid path
useful if you find them, i usually dont buy them
abstract token
I often buy ssh-68 tank helmet, and I usually don't get headshot but still die due to thorax or etc, so I really think about that
bold kernel
Then invest in better armor
abstract token
but body armor yeah very important
plucky reef
ugh any tips on pmc pistol quest for skier? i guess factory hm
ripe linden
For extractions I usually just keep a map up on my 2nd monitor
until I learn the maps better by heart
rich cloak
@plucky reef five seven
fluid path
@plucky reef yeah honestly, theres usually other pmcs there
i wore cheapo paca or L3 armor i had around and headsets
tried surprising people
in the face
plucky reef
damn thats an expensive pistol
fluid path
around corners and stuff
bold kernel
looking for a partner or group
abstract token
yeah but 57 is really good

bold kernel
??
rich cloak
Fucking read it
plucky reef
anything cheaper than fiveseven? :S
rich cloak
God damn it 
fluid path
you could take an m9a3
rich cloak
You'll be able to see the lfg afterwards @bold kernel
fluid path
and some AP rounds or even just PST if youre cheap
best case, you fight other unarmored pistolings and duke it out until youre done
you will get clapped by some heavily geared people for sure, but i always see pistol users on factory
i had surprising luck rushing people and faceshotting them in stairwells and around corners
might die to their buddy, still counted
fluid path
yeah
rich cloak
Yes
fluid path
you could try the APB but it wont do shit except to faces or unarmored pistolings
void veldt
is there a reason my game is taking like 4mins to find a match?
fluid path
youre better off with fiveseven and SS190, or a 9x19 with AP ammo, or then PST ammo
craggy ermine
it takes me 10-20 minutes to find a match
fluid path
if youre matching 4-5 mins, back out and try again @void veldt
void veldt
ive done that @fluid path
fluid path
i usually give up after a few minutes, matching is not fair or guaranteed. i think its a bug.
hrm. ok.
go to your launcher and pick more servers?
if its consistent
alternatively, try a diff map.
rich cloak
@void veldt servers are dying
void veldt
oh dang i didnt even know that was a thing
bold kernel
@rich cloak dude you have any idea how much 7n1 I could buy for the 35k I have left from my mosin buy?
rich cloak
@bold kernel yeah
bold kernel
I could probably get an ak-105, a sight, and 3 mags of bp
rich cloak
Look 60k is not enough for a decent gun with ammo
plucky reef
expensive fucking ammo shiiit gonna stash it in my gamma
bold kernel
Ak105 is like 35k rn
bold kernel
True that
bold kernel
Alright.
Whatever lol, I'll just keep running mosin
Mosin sniper is literally 60k on it's own
plucky reef
is there a cheap scope for mosin?
plucky reef
isent that 6x?
bold kernel
@teal jacinth the fuck is libra
bold kernel
fucking factory exit campers are the worst
fluid path
no, Pu is a really old WW2 scope
rich cloak
If you want to dabble into the ak 74 territory try buying a 74m and slapping a cqb pws muzzel on it
fluid path
but it fits on the mosin sniper rifle
rich cloak
@plucky reef it's 3.5x
fluid path
you can buy custom mounts and rails for the mosin off the flea if you want to add a traditional modern scope
plucky reef
oh 3.5x then it works close as well
rich cloak
Jup
rich cloak
Obrez time
fluid path
the sawn off stock is legit good for mosins lol
plucky reef
i want it as large as possible they need to manually cary my mosin if they want it
fluid path
mosin snipers come back, they often jack your scope
plucky reef
lol that looks so bad
jagged pasture
can anyone help me do some raids. im a noob
plucky reef
one would think sniping with that would not go very well but i dont know guns lol
guess it's all about gunpowder in bullet
1 mag on factory this is gonna go so bad lol
bold kernel
Would love a raid with someone
sand apex
If you want to be mean to a player with a iron sight mosin, take the sights off it and extract with them
then when they get the mosin back they'll use it without sights if they don't notice... heh
jagged pasture
ik mate. those people are less useful than my apendix
bold kernel
@abstract token i dont see any looking for group channel
fluid path
go to #521628660298678283 and accept
abstract token
you have to go to #521628660298678283 and #521628623027830785

if it still doesnt, PM the mods
bold kernel
What scope for cheap?
regal plover
Don't PM mods, PM @tall cipher
bold kernel
For an AKM
shell brook
what is the point of the christmas tree and will it go away and will it come back
cause i don't care but i don't want to miss out and i don't want to waste rubles
regal plover
On another note, did they reduce or remove the required amount of christmas ornaments to create it?
torn widget
How big is the map reserve compared to factory
bold kernel
Like 4x bigger at least
regal plover
at least lol
boreal inlet
okey sorry
regal plover
More like at least 16x as large
proper ginkgo
How do I change from one sight to another? I'm pressing the change scope button and it's not working, even tried changing the keybind
regal plover
And thats a very low ball
proper ginkgo
im using a hamr
regal plover
You need to put a sight in the top mount. It doesn't come with one.
proper ginkgo

My gun and modifications are less than my ammo
fossil oracle
Should I sell all my bitcoins?
bold kernel
Invest in bitcoins lol
steady pilot
@bold kernelnothing wrong with a cheap gun. Cheap gun ok. Cheap bullets arent
The bullets are the real reason between life and death
fossil oracle
i have them ingame should i sell them?
trim herald
@fossil oracle I would unless you've got loads of cash
bold kernel
True. Is there any way I can skirt around having to spend 75k on bullets though
Because that's a bit too much
steady pilot
That 50k you spend on ammo will save you 250k in kit and probably net you 500k of other peoples kit
The ends justify the means
bold kernel
Yeah probably. I understand the investment aspect of this stuff, but that's a static cost per run
It isn't like my helmet or armor, in that it might last me a few runs
steady pilot
Helmets are a worse investment than ammo
A helmet would save you maybe 5-10% of the time
People are rocking high AP rounds
I agree something is better than nothing, just saying I'd earn my helmets in raid from someoje
Instead of buy
bold kernel
Yeah I mostly earn my armor from others.
real fiber
it aint very wise to spend all in ammo and none in armor, because if you cant survive,l you just pay 50k to die every match
do budget loadouts
bold kernel
Well, is there any ammo that would be good enough and run at least 50k? Because 120 BP is 75k
real fiber
bp for which type
steady pilot
Armor is expecting to get shot. Ammo is expecting to shoot somekne
real fiber
armor saves you if you get shot in the back or by surprise
steady pilot
I never questioned armor tho
I said helmets
I always recommend tactec as the most cost effective and efficient armor to rock
placid garden
I''m trying to build a workbench, I have the screwnuts/etc in my inventory, but it's still showing 0/2.
real fiber
restart your game
just the ssh helmet is actually worth it
ssh and press armor is a good low budget build
umbral shadow
SSH helmet has saved my life so many times it's amazing for such a cheap helmet.
steady pilot
That wont even save you from scavs
steady pilot
You can get 762 PS
bold kernel
Is PS a viable alternative?
bold kernel
I'm just running customs I doubt I need labs type shit
steady pilot
BP is always viable anywhere
There is a huge influx of new players so even low tier ammo works
real fiber
bps can be bought to prapor i beliee
steady pilot
762 ps will be fine. You will.just strugglenagainst lvl 4 or 5 armor
You need to unlock BP from punisher questline

the wiki pictures are bugged for me, when I try to make them bigger it says error

Get that for a budget run

Alright

it's good but it's hard to repair and will break after only a few shots
but cheap also it's not a rig like he said

6b13 is fine for if I already bought it though

yes

do i get tasks by trading with fence a bit?
