@spiral perch oh damn ok#
ty
@young drum they are based on the base gun you get from a trader
hmm do keys have a chance of not spawning or someone else got it if it isnt there?
Dont buy stuff that players remove parts on
looking for IDEA key
Everything is rng to spawn my dude
how do i check how many bullets are in my mag?
ALT - t
hmm what skill would it give you a number?
hey folks- anyone got a link to the latest .12 ammo tables?
Is there any site that shows how the prices on flea have evolved in time?
We don't officially have that kinda data
how do i buy stuff?
That would be interesting for stonks
it doesnt let me buy a gun
Are you lvl 5?
At least
Theres a lot of data I wish I could see
You can only trade
can i do pve with my friend?
Offline? No
how do i invite people or add them?
Can team scav or team pmc...can't team offline
how do i play with my friends?
is there another way besides relogging or doing a raid when my fleamarket sales are not getting removed from my offer list after they are bought?
what are earpieces for exactly?
Items not sold will take about 2 minutes to be returned via messenger
no budcrain
thats no what i mean
sometimes when my items are bought i don't get messages until i do a raid or i relog
Restarting should work, It has for me but I've also heard sometimes its just a matter of time
@normal hound You keep hitting next after choosing PMC or Scav until you get the lobby which is a list of names and a picture of your character on the left side.
Then hit "start looking for group" under your character and your friends do the same
@ocean pilot they make important sounds like steps, gun louder and the rest less loud(rain, thunder, birds...)
Then 1 person invites the others by Right clicking and "invite to group"
Don't team with rando
which suppressor is more silenced? hybrid or snd-6?
There is currently no difference in sound
Ooft, just completed my first scav raid and holy moly
is interchange good for beginners, to take a break from customs?
Intense
Interchange is a fun map but a big maze
@shadow solstice heck no, you will die withhin minutes
It's valuable to learn
interchange is imo the best beginner map
Just avoid the middle due to the Killa farming and Interchange is fine. Also it has a ton of loot that can be sold but is also useful for tasks and upgrading Hideout.
@shadow solstice I mainly play customs to learn but did a few scav runs on interchange. They worked out okay. I wont bring my pmc in just yet though
how to do that bullet flying animation?
Do you mean the reload?
sometimes i see animations where you catch the bullet in mid air
but i only seen that on stream
bolt action rifle, pistol, aks
oh, i see. awesome. tnx
I think you can do it when you take the mag out of the gun, then drag the bullet from the chamber out of the gun, it should flip it out
I think it only works on a few guns though
its at like 55
how do i see if i have a round in the chamber?
Is the tactec 50/50 good enough? Or thorax only armor good?
@bronze oak you rightclick it an press "filter for item" then it shows the flea market listings of the item
If you go into your inventory then double click on the gun
Yep for the M700 I can confirm it works when you drag the bullet out of the chamber
Chamber is bottom right with the round in it
@stable nova sorry i meant how do i know whats a good prie for selling armor thats at like 55 for gen 4. alot of the stuff i saw was zeroed out
Does it matter if I get the run through status on a scav run
https://i.imgur.com/8n7gD10.jpg how do I find these parts?? I'm searching their names and finding nothing for a lot of them
is it normal that i, now being level 5, have not managed to extract even once, except for one scav raid where i havent met any enemies?
i killed multiple enemies (scavs and pmcs) multiple times, but always died on my way to the extraction point :/
Yeah thats fine
It takes a while to learn safe routes
You're getting experience and thats what matters the most
Hello everyone, here's a fellow player looking for advice. I am new to the game and find myself really poor after a couple of terrible runs. I keep getting killed in Customs (beginner map) and half the time I don't even see the person shooting me until it's too late. What I want to do now is create a budget loadout to reduce the hemorrhaging of money every single run. I saw a couple of youtube videos for budget loadouts but they are like 180k and that's basically all my money at the moment. From what I've read what I should be doing is hatchet runs but I feel that won't teach me anything, I want to at least have a weapon and try to fight instead of running around with a little axe waiting to get killed.
are pistol runs viable? and if so which pistol do you recommend?
the cheapest one is the PM but I don't know if it's good enough to kill anyone
Use your scav wisely. Use it on Interchange. If you really are low on gear/$ just run straight to exfil with your scav gear. Then use that gear to practice offline on any map. Then after 20 minutes of offline practice go to scav again. Go loot and practice the map. If you die go back offline with the kit you have.
Is the tactec 50/50 good enough? Or is thorax only armor good? What armor should I use (not armor vest combo) that is cheap lvl 4 or 5
Hatchet runs (if you die) will leave you with 1% health vs. 30% health if you die with a weapon
as you could take out of my last message, i'm not having much winning experience with it, bu i manage to get kills etc with a budget loadout of around 80k if that'd help you.
i use: SKS with 60 bullets (prapor, the bullets that cost 87 rubels each)
the 17k helmet and the 18k armor from ragman
and a sling from ragman (2k)
then just some basic meds on top (painkillers, bandage etc) seems to be very cost effective, has at least allowed me to kill one or two scavs and maybe a player every run, which allowed me to loot their better gear and go from there
@shadow willow
(if this is bad, pls correct me more experienced players :3 )
Still ongoing for awhile longer
@ocean pilot Do you feel like the helmet and armor are worth it? I was buying the same helmet and armor from ragman but I get killed almost instantly with it.
@shadow willow if your looking to kill some THICC bois , then go ahead and use the vepr hunter with m80 or higher. usually 2 shots to the chest is a kill
I got a Paca from a drop yesterday. Was stoked
@shadow willow the armor only works vs shotguns etc afaik. but it has safed me a few times already, helmet doesnt protect the face, but it will safe you from into the back headshots i believe
melee weapons have chop and stab damage. How do I stab and how do I chop? Is there a secondary attack button?
As long levels your Endurance, strength, stress resistance, and other skills are low so you get damaged more quickly than leveled PMC.
Honestly @heavy quest 99.9% of the time you want to shoot them
Hey i'm looking for someone who would be willing to take me through a shoreline loot run and has a lot of keys!
Melee isn't like COD melee
anyone that could teach me the game ?
looking for someone to play with, im totally new but decent at fps
#sherpa-info to sign up for a sherpa
@west tide hit up #521628660298678283 and #news-setup to get PMC role
@waxen forge yeah of course ;) But still, I might get into situations where melee will work out well. Better to be prepaired then
also I think it levels uhm.. something
@waxen forge Fair enough, so essentially the way to go is full scav runs and playing offline against scavs with my PMC until I get enough money to try raids properly again. I gather that means naked pistol runs are not viable.
strength?
Strength
You can also quick slash melee by double tapping your melee button
@shadow willow Pistol runs are going to leave you vulnerable to ranged fights. Pistols need head shots and obviously at range pistols aren't as effective as a rifle.
@vernal anchor does that do stab damage then instead of chop?
I would recommend running offline a good bit until you can successfully run from 1 side of the map to the other and kill scavs without dying most of the time.
and chop when I "normal" attack with the melee?
I believe it does the chop animation
You can use scav runs to make more gear/loot and sell it to traders to earn $
i cant see my friend in the looking for group
Did you both choose the correct time and map?
Did they start looking for group by clicking "start looking group" under their character
@shadow willow I'm level 8 currently and I do scav runs whenever I can, also sometimes PMC pistol runs online and runs for playing around offline
servers shitting themselves?
are you on the same server?
money and gear are growing that way for me
I'll need to do some normal runs soon
to clear my stash
:D
i got it thanks
GG
what does zeroing even do
Ok will do, thanks @waxen forge and @ocean pilot for the help. I'll use your advice. Hopefully I'll be the one doing the killing soon enough instead of all the dying 🙂
You will be. Just takes a good bit of time to find your way in EFT.
Hey @heavy quest, have you had any success with your pistol runs?
!customsmap
Zeroing centers your scope to account for standard drop over the range you set it to
how useful is it
!wiki customs
It means if you're zeroed for 200 then it will shoot 200 meters straight
thanks
Its very useful for long range shooting, but if some people prefer just aiming a bit higher to account for drop instead
cool, thanks.
@shadow willow honestly, depends on how you define success. it got me scav kills for prapors first quest, also levels my character. I have an 10% survival rate that way, though. But I don't mind that, long as I feel theres progress. And it feels like that
can you finish the bronze stopwatch mission with scav?
well i could get the key but the truck is empty wonder if someone got there first or it is me being a scav
Hey guys - I'm 1 week in, level 9, ~1 mill rub, only bought the basic verison so stash starting to get pretty crowded. I've been scanning across all the "quest" and "hideout" items images etc but getting overwhelmed with what is worth keeping and what isn't from this shot.... any tips? Do I just sell it all and re-buy what i need as I need it from flea??
actually, @unborn hound just sell most of that shit to therapist lmao
Buy a lucky scav junk box from therapist level 2
If you want to continue collecting task/hideout items
is it usually take long to spawn im waiting 6 minutes
In that case then you may want to just sell the items. Check flea price compared to Therapist>Skier>Mechanic.
Just a heads up @hoary kraken I just tried to do that mission and failed. It can only be done as a PMC and after getting the watch you have to successfully extract from the raid. I got the watch but died before extracting. Be careful of the scav sniper on top of the building.
OK thanks @verbal wedge / @waxen forge - i'll just sell most of it for now
Check lowest flea price. If Flea price is significantly higher including tax then sell to flea. IF not sell to traders as it helps level them up.
A few bits, like the HDDs I know I can trade up for a gun
But there's so much to learn in this damn game, haha
@unborn hound I sell some quest items and keep some. I research the found item on the wiki and see if its used for quests. If it is, I check if I need to find the item "in raid". If it needs to be found in raid, I try to keep it. Otherwise I sell it. "find in raid" means you cannot buy it on flea to finish the quest.
@shadow willow yeah i got the watch once as a pmc too, but i only had a pistol and it was night time, my yolo run to exit strategy didnt end up quiet well lol
ive learned pretty quickly
Yea some are for trades but I rarely ever do trades so I don't keep up on trades as much as others.
is it just me or are the servers shitting themselves
Drops end today but they are still working on servers. My estimate is player base has damn near doubled in the past week.
HOW MUCH SHOULD I SELL LEDX FOR??
Filter by item
Find lowest price on flea
Price within a couple thousand rubles of that.
1.8 MIL?
why not keep it for quest ?
you know there is thera quest
quick let you exchange 2 ledx and two VPX for 1 thicc iteam case 
Lowest price listed at the moment is 999999. The last offer listed on the page is 1.15 million. I would post around 1.1 million. You can post for 1.8 but it may not sell
JUST STARTED OUT COULD WITH CASH
Filter Lowest to Highest
Your 1.8 million sounds as if you are filtering highest to lowest.
@limber frigate WHY ARE WE SHOUTING
caplock lol
glad u pressed it again xoxo

not started that many quest yet
Does somebody want to play? I am a totaly noob :D
darn it 1 sec late 
Are 7.62 bp rounds better than 5.45 bs?
Squanchy are you on EU?
hey, im trying to play with my friend and every time we group up and i hit ready it boots him from the game. any help?

i found Key maps but it looks like it shows the door to open with the key instead of the spot to find the key
which one is it
xD
Are 7.62 bp rounds better than 5.45 bs?
Hey, what is the fastest/cheapest way to spend money with Jaeger?
@tribal cove those two are 2 different caliber 
pretty sure they are about the same roughly
AK-74M is better
^
why this discord doesn`t have a LFG? lol
cause you dont read rule maybe
i did read
den accept the #news-setup
HK best gun in tarkov, dont @ me
Go to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup and follow through on those, then the bot should auto assign your role
😤
what does wipe exactly do
just think it like a reboot 
Wipe resets everyone to as if it were the day we bought the game
ah ok ty
Wipes are good
@warm terrace I did follow, I clicked and I have no role
Try now
now I have lol
Wipe bad
thanks
Npnp
What meds should I take on run? I know they should go in my gamma container
Depends on purpose
Labs = IFAKs for me, and a CMS
CMS for every run besides hatchet/pistol
Saluwa for everythn else
CMS heals blacked limbs but what does ifak do? Stop bleeding?
IFAK is a 1x1 saluwa
IFAK > Saluwa > CAR
Also painkillers
Just pocket those tho
Low meds like cheese and bandages only do 1 thing each. Cheese heals health points but does NOT stop bleeding. Bandages stop bleeding but do NOT heal health points. Once you get to CAR and up they stop bleeding and heal health points in 1 product.
Vaseline for ?
cleary you didnt read any healing item 
I have 3 morphine from runs use or sale?
what exactly does the effect "on painkillers" do? I noticed everything is sharpened, what else?
sell
Need find in raid morphine for a task
Stops crippled negations
painkiller effects let you sprint on blacked legs/broken legs, and steady aimed for blacked arms
and stops pain effects
Surv 12 kit better than cms considering cost and performance?
thank you @patent arrow
❤️
only benefit is that the surv12 heals fractures
surv 12 kit is better than cms
no that not it
So surv 12 kit and salewa?
surv take less the HP away
Do CMS and saluwa
I always run a cms vs SUV 12 kit due to the size and cms are cheap.
so if you don't want to run a splint as well as your normal meds, you can use the surv12. I would say CMS salewa tho
And a 5 use splint
Doesn’t surv 12 have 15 uses compared to the cms at 5?
Surv 12 is 1x3
I keep an Ifak or salewa in my gamme with a CMS and a bottle of ibuprofen. Also a sicc case and then a stack or 2 of ammo
CMS is 1x2
so ?
CMS heals my blacked out...ibuprofen takes care of fracture and I can usually find a splint
Incase you need 1 slot and cant replace anything, where else would you put this bigass 1x3 expensive item?
i mean we should ask him that what ver is he anyway
I only ever run Surv because of my Kappa
lol
Its very big
Honestly over time you will figure out which setup works best for you. Try them both out for a few raids
CMS is very useful
Grizzly cms water ibi
Im big into mobile, fast looting, and can't have a 1x3 item fucking up my gamma space
1x2 can tetris easy
I have EOD and I upgraded from standard and I understand why using little space is needed
I guess it really comes down to space preferences
Comes down to playstyle
yeah okay
Lately I have ended up in a few fun fights every round and blacked limbs kill me if it’s two or a leg. So I am trying to figure out what to take. Normal have painkillers and salewa kit and a splint since I’m new
and if do find somthing that worth more than the surv
you can just throw it out to the bagpack
@molten ermine The way looting works in this game is based on value:space ratio, so having expensive 1x1's is always better than slightly more expensive 1x2's. Smaller items tetris fast, and can save your life on multiple occasions ontop of the value boost
- vest stacking in backpacks
And vests are mostly 1x2 and 1x1
slots
I get that. Last night I was in a gun fight and I had enough room to put the lab key in my gamma and I ended up dying but was happy I got the key
so big 2x2 or 1x3 or 2x4 items like guns are impossible to tetris, hence why you break them down into 1x1 and 1x2 parts
Size does matter 😉
So ifak is salewa but a 1x1 version?
well ya it still depend on the playstyle den 
yes
wipe when
tmr
Im big into PvP Mobility, so I could never run a surv12
No official date
Some speculate March/April but that is a GUESS
when was the las one
Just made 1.5mil squadwiping 3 groups with a pal on labs
using this method of looting
Ifak and cms doesn’t splint? Or does one of them do splint?
we had time to change angles because we werent caught in looting and tetrising 1x3's
how do you get tetris in lab ?
Tetrising = moving items back and forth
ah that
ye
i was like "am i missing somthing here XD"

When I sell a weapon on the flea market, should I strip all of the mods off it?
I love how fast quatroace tetrises
small but great skill to have
faster $/minute
faster raids, etc
slow is too boring for me
no it a playstyle in lab
Never extract camped once in my game
@fickle kettle @patent arrow Kinda clogging up the Beginner Assistance channel with irrelevant spam guys :/
just discussing item space relivency
rude ' - '
lol thats complete aids @delicate wave
@inner glacier and also please just sell all the weapon on flee and stop being cheap 
Had some kid nearly cuck me at emercon during his scav run, always gotta watch for camping when you're over 15mins in raid
it doesnt make much of a different to like strip it down and sell on the flea
always take railway exfil if it lets you imo
Honestly I would break weapons down and sell to Skier then rest to Mechanic.
^
or that
Maybe sell the suppressor or optic on flea but not weapons
Why wouldn't you sell the weapons? just not efficient?
ReapIR is 100k to skier I think, but 200k on flea
Just unlocked flea so trying to work out how it works
Because basic weapons aren't going to get you that much more on flea and take too much time to put up for me.
it better to sell etc stuff on flea rather than weapon
Plus as lower players you guys need to be "spent" with traders anyway
Which assault rifle has the best rate of fire?
nobody buys pre-built guns too
Also selling to traders is immediate payment
whats a good cheap vest, after the scav vest?
@patent arrow HK is a submachine gun?
no the AR
HK is an AR
What ammo?
oh, nice. kewl. tnx
m995 is too expensive for me, so use the m856a1
for what joe ?
For the HK.
@molten ermine IFAK definitely doesn't. Not sure re: CMS vs Splint, there's a bit of nuance there that I'm a bit too new to understand. I believe a splint will stop some pain modifiers but not allow healing whereas CMS would 'repair' and allow you to heal back up the limb after
you shooting your enemy down with money 
lol ye
he would be happy to die to m995 round anyway 
Meta I schleep
@nocturne nebula so I could run CMS, splint, and ifak? What would be there difference if I used surv 12 and ifak?
The splint job is to remove fracture but the surv12 removes fractures
Surv 12 will enable you to heal more hp on a repaired limb (80-90%) vs a CMS only allowing (45-60%)
reasson why you painkiller cause it fast way to remove any pain debuff
very good in pvp and any sistutation
and if you only carry a splint
dont you everythink that you will get more than 1 broken part of body
?
what's the thing where you mod weapons in the hideout called?
workbench
I assume i need to upgrade it?
no just craft it
craft to level 1
need 2 screw nuts, 2 bolts, and a letherman multitool
Can buy multitool from mechanic for 21K
what does "increases chance to find better loot" mean? are the loot containers in a quantum state and the content is determined by the player who first searches it?
I believe so
Yeah done it @waxen forge 🙂
Is there a quick way to cross-reference what items would vendor to the traders for with the flea market price ?
Not at the moment
Ah, shame 😦
For things that are not weapons or gear you would filter by item and check lowest flea price and then check therapist.
She buys all tech, jewelry, statues, etc.
Reserve or interchange? Where do I make more money safely?
none
Where then
I would say interchange
you have to take a risk for both of them 
Exfil as basic exfil instead of having any requirements.
PC's in Olie and Goshan with a good backpack can make you 200K easy without even having to enter the rest of the mall.
Reserve is a smaller, more dangerous interchange
Going to an exfil on interchange should I walk inside or near the biulding close to the parking lot?
As a still new player who won't win most of my engagements Shoreline has still be the most consistent way for me to make money. I stick to hidden caches and avoid that big building in the north
Resort, yea. I'd never been able to get out of there and until I am geared at the very least it's just a death mission for me to try. The caches have been good to me and I don't get insta-picked off as much as I do on Customs
helllo i just got the game today and im dying 2 mins after entering. does anyone know how to heal after you die and a map for new players?
interchange is best to learn in my experience, but customs as a start
Marked rooms, big time loot areas, just not achievable early goals for new players
Hey @waxen forge congratz on becoming sherpa 🙂
@little cedar you can go into your 'Character' inventory, click over to your health tab, and you can drag any med items on to your character there
Cheers, that was the first thing I ever learned on this discord beginners chat =]
I am not really new, but still beginner. I have a docs case with marked key, factory exit, zb 014 and MES and want to loot these places
@little cedar you can either check in #pvp-lfg or check for some community in #❌〡community-servers !
ty
@nocturne nebula that not working i must be doing it wrong on something do i have to be in my hideout?
Do we need to be choosing the same server in the launcher if we were to play as a group?
or in game
Gamma and Kappa containers can be obtained only if you purchase game package?
@little cedar Not in hideout, not in game. So on the main menu you should be able to click on 'Character' which will open up your stash and your character sheet. There are tabs at the top left and it starts you on 'Overall' for your loadout. But you can click over to 'Health' to see your character's health status
@gloomy fox you dont need the same server
i guess i have to finish all the quest until march xD
You’ll find the person you’re looking for in the game lobby
@little cedar As long as you have some med items in your stash you can right click and use them or just drag them over to the injured limbs to heal
@small perch The lobby is global or based on region ?
i have bandages
Global im pretty sure
Bandages only stop bleeding but they can't heal
Cause i can play with anyone, even tho we dont have the same server
As a new player the cheapest way would be AI-2 (it looks like a piece of cheese and most folks call it 'cheese' as such)
ohhhh
But as soon as you hit lvl 5 stop using cheese
Yeah try to bring one thing to heal (cheese), 1-2 bandages, and 1 splint
Use bandages in raid to stop bleeding if you have a limb that is in bleed status
Thats a start up
You can get a salewa for 10k with 400healing
Thanks @small perch
thank you so much i'm fully heal
so custom is the best way to level?
i mean best map to start for beginners
@little cedar Customs is the easiest map to learn but it is challenging because there are some narrow chokepoints that but you at high risk for engagement. I struggled in my first week there heavily, still do in fact. At the end of the day you have early quests to do that force you into Customs. I'd recommend trying to complete them at night to reduce engagement risk.
@little cedar I've had the most success as a new player on Shoreline. Less engagement risk and more opportunity for me to poke around and loot a bit.
@little cedar do you have two monitors? If so, I always have a map from the tarkov wiki for whatever one I'm playing pulled up on the 2nd monitor to reference
Where am I on the map(interchange)
Near powerstation behind Idea
Thx
@nocturne nebula no i do not have a second monitor
@nocturne nebula but i will try to start with shoreline
How do I know what items I should be keeping? I have stuff like toothpaste, gunpowder, screwdrivers. What's good and what do I sell?
Anybody know why it's saying 3/3 offers when I only have one listed? Does this mean my other 2 sold or smth?
experience @wintry cliff
@inner glacier your filters
hmm okay
Uncheck the Filter by item....
Thanks
search filters
Thanks!! @quasi pilot
@little cedar Another option is if you have an ipad/tablet around the house to prop that up as your map. Don't bother with the in-game maps currently. They're quite bad
Thank you! Everything else I should sell?
What do A, B and C represent/mean?
You can sell weapons and gear if you aren't using them.
If you are running out of space can sell task items for the $ and then find them again later for the task.
@placid garden i pretty sure A- Rep Icon B- your rep as a seller/trader C- it recently went up
Morning in NA... I think I'm gonna go for it.. do a customs run try to get the gold watch... gear fear is real
What happens when the extraction timer runs out during a raid?
@twilit stump Game over.
@twilit stump on the bright side if your equipment is insured you get it back XD
That's something I never thought about.. better to die in a corner and get it back then to sprint in the open to try and make an exfil.
If you just quit the game hiding in a corner will you get your gear back eventually?
you get your insured items back if no one extracts with it
Sweet. If you break both legs and there's no way you're gonna make it... alt-f4 🙂
crawl somewhere and die.
better off killing yourself so you don't "quit" the raid
@bold kernel not recommended with the updates... if you kill yourself or a friend kills you, your PMC will have 1% hp on all parts meaning the cost to heal up to raid again is higher
@placid garden And if you are meet an inevitable death and your gear is insured you can strategically drop your items in overlooked spots near you on the map so that if someone loots your body there's nothing on it. Similar idea if you loot a guy who has better or equivalent gear, you can just drop your insured gear and take theirs. Good chance you'll still get or original gear back
Aka insurance won't work if you leave > confirm leave
That's what I've been told anyway
@nocturne nebula Mind blown.
Insurance is good =]
best to do is toss your insured gear somewhere hidden... but i always try and make it out
Here's my nub gear for a customs run
Especially good for new players. Despite the cut throat nature of the game, experienced players tend to not loot the gear of new players (they can tell by your dog tags what your level is). Maybe that's being nice, but it's probably just as much that your gear isn't any good compared to theirs anyway
Also many people aren't going to loot your backpack, armor, or rig if they have similar or better stuff. It just takes up too much space in a backpack.
unless its another new player just starting out trying to get gear XD
Hah, oh yea. If you happen to be one of the 6 PMCs I've killed in my career, sorry but I had to yoink it all
lolz
Killed a 30 and his buddy that was decked one of my first runs... server disconnect, never got to keep the sweet sweet loot.
err wait, i must have kept it since I had his dog tag. was another time I had a great run and disconnect.
feelsbadman
I've killed one PMC north of level 10 and it was a hatchling
yea im terrible when it comes to pvp still trying to learn the sounds
I admit, I was hidden in a bush alt-tabbed figuring out where i was.. hear noise, alt tab back.. oh hello there.
what are the best weapons to start with and what is the best ammo?
In my first few weeks i've been intentionally avoiding engagements but now I'm using my scav runs to force them and try to learn how to fight and survive.
im more the m4 player, is the ak so much stronger?
theres alot of good budget builds made by the tarkov streamers its really up to your personal preference
m4 is stronger
once you got over like 2mil, you shouldnt budget run yourself anymore
Is there a wiki page for ammo cartridge? Anything else I can do with it except unload ammo and throw cartridge away?
Winning raids = better
thanks!
find a build that you enjoy playing with and thats all that matters just have fun
^
You can throw the boxes away
ty
I like to run the lonestar DMR, even if it's weaker than the M4 because of the semi auto limit with the same rounds, but is more fun to use imo
so preference does make the game more enjoyable; dont always focus on objectives
hey folks,
2 questions:
- if I'm leveling skills as scav, will it level skull as pmc? I'm suspect that no, because I got situation when I leveled skill as scav and in subsequent raid as pmc I got the same level, but need confirmation
- when I use 2 different scopes I can switch between them. but when I bought optics with additional scope on that I wasn't anle to switch between them. how can it be solved?
Scav and PMC skills separate
Control plus Right click is switch between optics as the default keybind (iirc) although I've rebound a lot of that stuff.
IF you are talking about the HAMR optic then you have to also buy the red dot to go on the top of it.
so they can be leveled but just for that fraction, correct?
I mean, I can get recoil control 4 for scav and 5 for pmc, right?
the exp you gain from scav does not transfer to PMC
I changed keybinding to ctrl and alt + mmb because I used to hold rmb for aiming.
I tried HAMR, yeah. didn't noticed that it has just frame, not the actual reddot at top, sorry
thank you all!
np....lots of people make that mistake with the HAMR
yeah, because of the description, I believe ("with ... sight installed on top of it")

So I was trying to kill this scav but couldn’t hit him it was in the open and I tried strafing around but my crosshair was on him why wouldn’t it hit?
because of weapon precision?
what weapon were you using
can i mod my ADAR to full auto?
you might have been hitting his armor
@bold kernel no, but you can buy colt lower receiver and build rest of adar on top of it
@bold kernel you can transfer your adar mods to an m4
I think it will take me 20 raids to reach level 5 lol
Are keys one time use?
no
Lab access cards are
Awesome thanks
@delicate whale if the keys/cards have a limited use you will see sorta like a durability on the bottom right of the item
@wintry cliff they will show how many times left if that key is limited
@wintry cliff few of them are limited (like lab card, marked key) but most of them are not. you can check details
@prisma stag what do i still need
@quasi pilot was using ak 74u
While on the topic of lasers, are they client side only or can enemies see my laser?
they can see it
@tepid fossil your shots were probably hitting armor and not penetrating
Was trying to tap was panicking so couldn’t switch to single
@bold kernel if you have access to flea then you can buy m4 lower receiver, I believe, and transfer everything else that is not a receiver to that m4
@wintry cliff they can
you can see the ammo specs on the official EFT wiki
Well I believe I was using ps but I probably burnt it through a player scav my friend died to
Probably was using BP afterwards @quasi pilot
@prisma stag you mean upper?
Is there any point in me holding on to the quest items from low down in the quest image? Respirators for example take 4 slots, i need 5 of them. They're 8k on flea. but realistically am I going to be able to justify holding on and clogging up my stash for ages?
WOuld love to hear your thoughts
i can't see any lower receiver
@tepid fossil https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/5.45x39mm
If you have standard then you have to be more critical of keeping task items. Items that can be used by PMC (like respirators and hats) wont' go into it but I recommend if you want to stockpile task items to get the Lucky Scav Junk Box to hold the non-usable task items.
Otherwise sell if you need space
and then it all depends on the armor the scav was wearing if he had armor otherwise you were just unlucky
@bold kernel no, lower. this is where fire control group is.
this is the main part of weapon so look for colt m4a1 assault rifle
To go on the left side of the map, if you start or end up anywhere in here, the only way is these 3 arrows? Without factory key...
You can just jump overwall the next to check point
And jump back over on the pipe next to new gas
Man that's rough
@placid garden near the shortcut door you can use the blue car with the trunk open and jump on the port-a-potty to jump over the wall
yea the timing of the jump can be a pain
Walk off the car and jump
Don't run?
You can if you want
i don't see any @prisma stag
You want to jump later then you think to
^
if you want to try and learn it go offline mode with AI off and just try and get the timing right
thats what i did lol
@bold kernel btw, you can right click on any item (say, upper receiver) and choose linked search - it will show where this can be put on and what you can put on it
Does anyone know why I can't sell dollars on the flea market?
ok
for roubles
any name?
Cause it seems like you can’t anymore still
@bold kernel just open the flea and in the search box enter m4a1, it will show you the colt m4a1 5.56x45 assault rifle
buy it (about 20k rub just for base part which is red) and here you go
Mechanic 2/3 sells a lower
all i know about tarkov is that you shoot kill ppl and run to the exit
@fluid hare and loot some non-valuable shit with you if you are lucky enough to not be shoot down in return :D
How can I bind emotes to keys?
So I've put together a list of tips and useful information for people who are either starting out on EFT or are just looking to refine their skills.
Time Stamps
0:30 - Learn via Offline Mode
1:53 - Learning Maps + Player Counts
4:03 - Insurance
6:05 - Medical System
10:50 - ...
It's not in the key bind settings?
Double tap "Y"
Double tap Y while in a raid. You will be able to right click on the voice line or gesture and choose the F key you want it on
at the bottom you will see the binding window
F1 is base mumble
@wintry cliff are you talking about gestures? dunno, bit you can drag phrases to the F button
Does anyone here know why I can't sell dollars to anyone to get roubles? I see others selling it on the FM
@wintry cliff when you highlight the emote you want just press one of the Function keys to bind it to that key I.E F1, F2
Thank you @quasi pilot
i dont know if it works for hand gestures though i know it works for the talk emotes
@bold kernel yep. can't see clearly (on the phone), but looks like left one is the m4 with automatic fire mode. and rest of items are replaceable between m4 and adar
No one knows why I can't sell dollars on the Flea? 
Because they disabled it
if I'm not mistaken, irl adar is civilian version of m4 with only difference in lower receiver (which gives the name for a weapon ingame)
If you want to turn dollars into roubles buy stuff from PK and sell for roubles, most people would rather pay roubles than dollars
ok
It's a Russian civilian AR15 essentially, JustK
Not sure why I added civilian as a qualifier 😄
As the AR15 is a civilian rifle
wow, didn't know this, thanks. as a true russian I'm aware only of russian weapons, lol
Apparently they're a firearms manufacturer 😄
"However, ADAR 2-15 is sold at a whopping price of 126,000 rubles..." Lucky it's cheaper ingame 😄
It's an optional furnishing, the standard furnishing is much more similar to the regular AR15
The Adar is a cheap produced ar
What's a better a normal mosin or a mosin infantry?
Sv98
@wintry cliff just checked so you right click the emote you want and it should bring up a menu to bind it to one of the function keys... sorry for the bad info
yeah, in Russia we have a quite strict rules for weapon so it is quite hard to obtain one. so few weapon users - small market - small quantities - big price. btw, real saiga-12 mod 10 costs like 32k rub @trim herald
should i sell my dogtag box?
What's a better a normal mosin or a mosin infantry?
Eh keep it dog tags are easy money once you get a dozen
Again sv98
Cheaper and better
you answer itwrong XD
Before you get the S I C C case a dogtag case and keytool is key
he was asking between mosin and inf mosin XD
Both are bad
@prisma stag That's nuts dude
i got a keytool in marked room
he already got an answer XD
Both are better than the SV98 for ironsights shooting
and dog tag box by drop
But worse for sniping, I guess
how can I create a preset for weapon I dont own?
@glossy pumice depends they are both the same gun but Inf. Mosin cant have a scope attached
VPO-215 is better i think
@young drum do you have presets unlocked?
you have to have presets unlocked from hideout
Uh no the 215 is trash
As a newb, are there any items I should NOT be selling, and instead keeping for later? E.g. random things like paracords, cigarettes, screw nuts, and so on.
yeah, that's sad. you can really obtain a weapon (starting from self-defence with rubber bullet or bare barrel hunting rifles) but it is almost impossible to get weapon with automatic fire mode or get allowance to wear weapon charged. but that is getting offtopic, I believe @trim herald
@vital rover you can check wiki for each item you own, so you find out if item is used for any quest(s)
Alright, that's probably the best approach. Thanks.
@prisma stag how did that moscow dude get an ak?
A bit of work but I'll end up learning a lot i suppose
yep
!wiki cigarettes

!wiki bad habit
@vital rover keep everything while you reach lvl5 then check the price on flea and decide yourself.
I prefer to sold almost everything because usually I'm able to buy it when I need it. but do not sold statues, they are good for barter
Ok, that makes sense. Stash space just gets slim so I need to make some choices before 5 probably
keep statues - rgr
To trader that is 😄
I will keep everything for sure then. Fuck, tempted to upgrade to the edge of darkness DLC 😄
!wiki paracord
Do it
@bold kernel not sure what are you talking about, but most likely he knows someone from weapon manufacturers and they just gives them weapon for a trial.
alternatively you can buy demilitarised weapon and make it militarized back, but that's illegal
3x3 container OP 😦
Not really
@vital rover I upgraded from basic to eod and can confirm - rhat worth it
Do all my items reset if i do it now?
that guy who killed a soldier in front of the FSB building
No
@prisma stag
@vital rover not anymore
Or just buy transferables. If I had 50k yesterday I could’ve bought a m2 browning hmg
No that’s the pre 10.5 times
holy shit, fml. i was so glad to finally have managed to bring home 2 mp-153 shotguns for the first task from prapor... but i just couldnt turn the task in!
turns out i need MP-133 shotguns... where do i get mp-133 shotguns from? :/
Lol sorry to hear that @ocean pilot, you got bamboozled 😄 The shotguns have a wooden pump-stock I was told. I think the scavs on Customs have it, if someone can confirm?
^
@young drum sorry i logged in and was trying out the create new button on preset and what it does is once you have a weapon selected to modify when you click the create new it wipes all attachments and leaves you with just the reciever so you can start a new preset on that weapon
@vital rover and one more advise on flea: before selling something - check local traders prices.
for example, I saw a key sold on a flea for 55k while teeapist buys it at 61.5k. and yeah, if you selling on flea you have to pay money for placing item
if i pre-order the 35$ version is it possible to upgrade it if i like it later?
are there bots?
Yea
is there a LFG channel for complete noobs lol
@quasi pilot you can save preset and open it later
Yes
thank you ❤️
Accept the #521628660298678283
@prisma stag he was asking about the create new button in preset
Hit the green tick
Are there hackers?
but 25% discount might not be available
oh, sorry, missed that
lol i never used it before
You have 6 hours left of the sale
what ammo is good for sv98
Ball out and get eod. Thank me later
7n1
if u dont like it is there a refund option?
discount is available for upgrade too, but it can end soon
No refund
Pffft
i never got the game ^^
@split vapor sry for the late reaction, where can i buy the mp-133? i dont find'em (i dont have flea market yet)
ok i'm downloading now, if there are any other noobs that wanna play add me on discord 🙂
in the wise words of marcus munitions "no refunds"
Lo
lmao
Solar did you buy and not recive?
gets shot
it took my friend 45min before he got the game after buying it
Spawn die spawn die
Question? How unacceptable
okay well i had that isse dont worry it takes time
my life story rn
@ocean pilot from Jaeger, but you have to unlock him first (can't remember if you have to pass mp133 first to get unlocking quest)
Wdym @split vapor this is #beginners-assistance
is the quest that the therapist gives you worth it?
Doesn’t anyone get 
it gives relationship which gives you new items in the store
Therapist tasks reward XP, gear, Money, trader rep, and $
one more question, me being jkust lvl 4, should i sell or safe this lab keycard? (it almost pays for one whole of my budget loadout :/ )
KEEP
Sell it once you open flea
ok do i have to do it as a pmc or can i scav run for the red health packs
fine
If you don't want to run labs
You can find those non-task items as a scav or PMC
ok then, either way i should NOT vendor it then? xD
you don't want to labs at lvl4 so you can keep it for later or sell on flea for like 200k
labs is a high level area high risk but lots of gear and you need that card to enter
@ocean pilot You can buy the MP-133 shotguns from flea once you get to level 5
@ocean pilot It's 75k to trader or 190k on Flea, your choice 😄
alright
what about the other key thingies? are they worth keeping? (they are all from customs )
Search them on Wiki
It will tell you what they do and if they are needed for task

wait for lvl5 and decide basing on flea market prices. I usually keep one of the each key and sold everything extra to therapist or flea (depending on the which price is higher)
@carmine lava
N key
does anyone here know the labs off by heart and can help my friend escape
real quick on a discord call
tell your friend i said good luck
I always get killed by camping fucks and cant survive a fucking raid. I have 13% surv rate...
campers really are pretty rare from my experience, you might just be giving away your position and getting ambushed
I saw on a pestily video I could buy a lucky scav case from Therapist. I do not see it. Does that mean I need to level her up to get the option?
level 2
whats a lucky scav case?
Brilliant. How do I level her up? Just buying from her or? Does it take a long time?
can I level her up by selling back to her?
No. You need to do the tasks
@inner glacier You have rep you gain from tasks, you also have a spending treshold you need to reach by buying and selling. You can buy stuff from traders and sell it back to them to speed it up
any tips for avoiding being sniped while crossing the river on customs when spawing customs side? I try to be careful but I feel like if I make it it's just by chance.
can you not buy selewa straight up?
Yes
You're in your wishlist
fliter
ouch servers
@shadow solstice There's not really a good way. Just take your time to scope out the opposite side before you move really, the trash bridge or on top of the real bridge feel safer to me than the land bridge
Sorry what am I doing wrong now? I'm off wishlist
"Reputation is gained upon successfully completing deals, every ₽100,000 gained from deals incrementing the players' reputation"
so, does "deals" include my purchases as well? or it's about only selling?
oh great thanks
@inner glacier to check how to level up rhe trader - open the trader and look at top right of the screen. it will show requirements and current level of sum, rep and so on. to gain rep do quests
are you buying it for yourself or for a quest @inner glacier
if you're buying it for yourself then you may wanna check the points in it
The Q I think
do raiders spawn on factory?
No
Just labs always
And milbase occasionally when called in
And a group can spawn when the train arrives
There was an event where they spawned on every map, in case you've seen it in videos
does scav loot scale with player level?
so i could get a scav with full fort and an m4?
Shows everything you can have
Gear wise
You spawn with any item in your bag or pockets
Well loot items
You could spawn with fort back in the day though
yeah i got 3 labs access keys from scavs
the only good things you get as a scav is the loot tbh, the guns are usually ass
Super rarely at like 5 minutes left in a raid
I distinctly remember coming out of the shortcut on Customs and running into a scav with fort within the first 3 min of the map
But they were more common late, sure
What is Fort? @trim herald
6b43, shitty lvl 6 armour
I clicked the check mark under the rules and it didn't do anything.
We’ve heard you the first time just dm @tall cipher
is twitch drops still here?
I'm having a very hard time actually making it out of a game, does anyone have any tips?
i always stay somewhere safe until like 20-25 minutes most people are gone by that time
i been doing that a lot and escaped 90% of the time
Do you use maps?
Which site do you use?
hol up let me send you my map that i use on customs
Do a google search for the map you need
Scroll down
ak74m or akms?
i saved my to my 2nd monitor desk top and open it during game
OP Sks or SKS
Akms even modded is still uncontrollable as hell
Neither get your self a 762 vepr
Also the first reason
Better stat wise
Plus you have mags
Over the stock 10 round internal
But smaller caliber and less damage no?
What map do I play? I hate customs because I always get killed and it feels like there's too many people
Isn't AK-74M 5.45x39mm
The other maps have more people
AKM is 7.62
No?
Higher dmg would mean smaller ttk hopefully lmao
Yes then that's what I meant obviously, "lmao" truly hilarious
All 762x39 rounds are trash besides BP
Any 545 platform is more controllable and easier to use
And rounds are just better
yeah ok,
I have limited exp it's just in arma I'd always prefer 7.62 guns
but there's not even wall penetration here i guess
Plus 762 BP is a locked round
Making it unrealisticly expensive
The minimum 545 to use is BP then BT and best is BS
7n39 is best pen but does no damage
Yeah tapping heads with it seems easy and insane dmg even to geared players
Vepr is cheap from flea 10k for the scav model and a stock is like 2k
Plus you have cheap magainzes
If I loot a hatchet off someone, do I get to keep it like the knife? Is it auto insured or do I have to do that each raid
Standard btw
And it’s easier to mod a vepr over the very limited sks modsing
The normal sks only takes like 2 mods a suppressor and rail
Opsks can take dovetail optics but the opsks has slightly worse stats over the normal sks
how much time you have to reconnect (e. g. after your game crashed)?
Once you get back into the menu and hit reconnect they’ll be a timer that’s like 2 minutes before you’re done. But that only starts once you get in the game menu
Nerd
There is wall pen in this game but it's horrifically unreliable
How can I unstack some bullets?
Like remove 10 from 30 bullets instead of removing the whole thing
drag and drop while holding CTRL
