@torn widget Removal of the C:/ file directory should work as well.

@minor juniper welcome. Your butthole wont unclench for a long time
placid garden
Once I build and save a favorite gun, where do I find the option to buy all the parts?
bold kernel
Do you have a workbench constructed in your hideout?
steady pilot
It's the middle left button
minor juniper
@steady pilot that rush of watching the extract timer go down. Haven’t felt that in forever. Now I need to git gud 😹
steady pilot
Looks like a save icon
novel quartz
daddy, whats normal wait time?
bold kernel
What Delta said
steady pilot
5mins if severs taking a shit
grand elm
Don’t sit in matching for more than 5 minutes
bold kernel
Could also save preset and click on find parts from there
steady pilot
It's usually like 2-3mins matching
grand elm
If you take more than 5 minutes to find a match you need to select more/different servers
steady pilot
@placid garden honestly just manually buy the parts.
rain anvil
...sigh at me getting one tapped and putting 2 shots point blank from a shotgun into someones head and no kill......
steady pilot
The preset thing doesnt always get the best deal
placid garden
@steady pilot Ohh, ok. It's just an AK with an EKP and silencer really.
steady pilot
Lol
Edit preset is just nice to find compatible parts
For free
We had to mod oldschool before and try stuff

Is it worth doing offline mode to learn maps? I almost had no money or guns until I finally got my first extract. Now I am debating if I go into live with PMC at all until I learn the maps.

Well damn

Go to offline. Get a map from wiki. And learn.

Trooper if anything "Cheap"

So what would be the cheapest lvl 4?
grand elm
^^^ Look at TROOPER
placid garden
Oh
placid garden
Dammmn 90k
grand elm
I mean..
A POS tactec.
@placid garden I really ONLY ever run armored rigs.
Unless I need good level 5
placid garden
almost 4x the UNTAR.. as a lvl 6 dunno if i'm in that league yet.
Oh you can get rigs that have armor too? so no need to run armor?
waxen forge
Can't run armor with an armored rig anymore
steady pilot
It repairs well. I find idiots posting above 40 durability tactics for 80k and repair for 20k with a 1% loss on repair with prapor
For 100k it's a damn steal
placid garden
Trooper is 89k, there's some 50/50 TACTEC for 100k.

I'll probably get domed in 1 shot though since I'm a noob.

@steady pilot How come nobody loots them?
steady pilot
No room or their armor is better or they have armor and rig
It's a hassle
To swap it over
steady pilot
Armored rigs are the most cost efficient thing

True

Cause you pay 100k for that and dont have to buy a rig either

Same, idk if I can’t ask for fps help.
humble slate
@steel lily it all depends of your settings and pc you have
humble slate
@modern steppe do you have eft on SSD Drive? or normal hard drive?
unborn dagger
Reserve is massive, it is the most resource heavy map for your computer
modern steppe
ssd
steel lily
I’ve all low, I’ve rtx 2060, ryzen 2700 and 16gb of ram, 3000mhz and the game is on a ssd. The game do like 70/75 fps and drop very very bad to 35/40 fps. And also the game is not stable
steel lily
Every map, I’ve tried all, also the nvidia panel
torpid kestrel
@steel lily The game isn't optimised yet, and getting 70-75 fps with your setup is decent :p
Most people are not getting much more than that man
steel lily
Lotix is very rare that i’ve 70-75 😭
lament aspen
@steel lily You have that same setup as me, what resolution are you playing at
humble slate
@steel lily do you want my settings? maybe they would help you
torpid kestrel
Theres probably a few setups on your PC you should change, like power settings, nvidia settings etc ?
steel lily
I’ve also a 144hz monitor with gsync
lament aspen
Set some of your graphics higher so it utilizes more
torpid kestrel

lament aspen
Like textures and view distance
torpid kestrel
I get more fps with textures and shadows on high than on low, cause it uses more of my GPU power
lament aspen
Antialiasing
steel lily
I changes the power settings, nvidia panel
minor juniper
I have a 2700x with a 1080. I play on almost everything low except high on textures and highest view distance. I always sit above 100 FPS but I will have random fps drops.

serene glacier
i would love to if i could get into a two player squad in customs

Long story short, 20" and 370mm are best, 406mm and 270mm is ass. And 18" is too expensive for what its worth
dense ibex
so if i go into offline mode and die with the gear i went out will i lose it?
blissful quarry
is the 370 just the best balance for recoil and accuracy then?
torpid kestrel
@dense ibex no
You can play in offline mode, with our without scavs enabled, take in whatever gear you like and not lose anything
barren mesa
anyone want to level strength with me?

You also won't get any character progression or you cannot bring any loot back to your stash that you found in the offline modus

long spear
@blissful quarry m4 can get pretty low recoil
@blissful quarry around 50 is really good for vertical
blissful quarry
mine is at 65, but it still feels massive
long spear
if im not mistaken the recoil numbers are the same for all guns
so a 65 m4 is the same as a 65 ak
although they have different fire rates so that may effect it a little

@valid dove probably, a lot has changed over the various patches

@valid dove they change the vendors items / prices somewhat regularly between patches as well i believe now

well sks with ps ammo is a lot more versatile than an mp5 would be
it actually has a chance against lvl 3 and 4 armors

im new to this game and discord, what channel to i join to learn the ropes?
long spear
@valid dove if you are level 5 though use vepr km instead of sks
real cheap on flea market

well sks is your best bet against players really until you hit 5 and can buy whatever you want

but make sure if you use sks you have ps ammo
because ammo is more important than the gun really

yeah thats pretty bad ngl

whats that?

@bold kernel Yep. It's an amazing map, you get some really great loot. The snipers are annoying though.
@empty frigate when you play you have the option of scav or pmc

Oh btw, are raiders different from the scav boss on reserve? And how do their spawns work?

Its horrific how bad the servers in this game are
quick moss
raiders = much deadlier
bold kernel
It's been really bad with all the new players coming in, it was more or less okay before that for me
quick moss
much better gear, much scarier, have more base hp
bold kernel
Raiders have certain special spawn notifications requirements etc. Raiders have really good loot, and are harder to take down.
On reserve there is a horn that blares and some raiders enter
Not the train horn

Why does it take 2min to find a scav game but 15+ for pmc ? (we're in a group)

@ Mor, because the servers being shit still

higher is better

you can buy class 2 armor for a super cheap loadout
but never class 1 if that even exists
dont think ive even seen a class 1 armor
other than helmet

Usually I run t5-6 when I'm doing group raids and t4 when im doing solos
torn widget
Whats the best helmets
quick moss
exfil, altyn, airframe tan
long spear
i wouldnt recommend a helmet unless you are using one with faceshield that doesnt obstruct hearing personally
and the cheapest for that is 100k so
only worth it if you have a very expensive loadout
quick moss
lzsh is not 100k
mystic pasture
If you can afford to run steel helmets you might as well, I've had plenty save my life from random aimbot scav bullets, and you'll always get em back on insurance eventually if you do die

soft tartan
What time do we have left to build the Christmas tree ?
idle bluff
Not yet made clear how much longer players have for the Christmas Tree.
soft tartan
Ok thanks
bold kernel
I was so close to being to build one and then because of server lag, it disappeared from my hideout and I sold all my balls
Next day I log in and the tree is back
Sad hours
modern steppe
is 200k+ per run good?\
steady pilot
Its fine
modern steppe
was doing the interchange run stashes
steady pilot
That's solid enough for minimal risk
modern steppe
any better runs?
royal crow
I just exfiled as a scav and got 3900xp but it didnt award me anything is there a reason why?
mystic pasture
Scavs have seperate xp to your main pmc
Their skills level up independently to your pmcs skills
wet spade
What am I supposed to keep in my stash?
Stuff like battery, screws, pillar etc
So many of them 😮
mystic pasture
Google "Tarkov quest items"
There's a picture on the wiki
Anything in green I would save
Because that has to be found in raid
wet spade
Green?
mystic pasture
Yeah one sec
wet spade
& why do I have to complete quests?
noble blade
To unlock cheap stuff on traders
mystic pasture
quests give rep to level traders and unlock items at traders
.
Those in green, are stuff you need to find in raid
noble blade
Since most of the stuff sold on flea is with a premium
mystic pasture
^
mystic pasture
yeah its the last quest
foggy zinc
Every single time I die is because everybody is in a duo
and i'm pissed off because all my friends are casual af and won't touch this game
long spear
sounds like you need new friends
stone surge
You don't need a duo to beat a duo though
mystic pasture
I play solo a hell of a lot, lemme tell you, the VSS is your friend. Play slow, creep and ambush, you'll wreck the duo's
long spear
and yeah, i play solo when im playing serious, play with others for fun
so far anyway
beaten my share of duos solo
foggy zinc
I used to like 2 years ago when I first played but idk what it is, I feel like weapons now suck starting out, I get a hole lot of nuttin between all these lvl 1 traders
stone surge
all loot is for yourself
foggy zinc
and everything in the flea market is insane
long spear
that single frame doesnt tell us much
long spear
oh lame
wet spade
i did T_T_T_T
wet spade
i'll get out of this ):
stone surge
i've had it too
a lot of times actually
it was rumored to only happen with the M1A and MPX
but according to everyone it's not tied to a gun
long spear
i have 550 hours and i havent had that happen yet :0 lucky me
stone surge
i have had it a lot
and also a bug where you can shoot
had it like 2 days ago in labs
alt +f4 fixed it for me
but healbug usually doesnt get fixed
so you have to extracgt.
it doesnt happen often and BSG is aware of the bug and they fixed some issues causing it last patch
but they still dont know what else causes it
sterile dagger
I found 1000 euros in a scav backpack
And I thought it would be worth a lot so I tried selling it on flea market
But apparently you cant
Is there anything else I can do with it
tiny smelt
1000 euros?
long spear
yeah buy items and resell for roubles
mystic pasture
Traders sell stuff for euros
tiny smelt
Hold onto that shit
sterile dagger
Yeah 1000 euros
stuck saffron
I cant use folding stock keybind to fold a weapons stock, any ideas?
hollow cobalt
That stock is not a foldable one?
mystic pasture
Probably the issue
stuck saffron
when I right click on the weapon and click fold the stock folds?
mystic pasture
Did you rebind the key?
stuck saffron
I've tried to rebind it to something else and see if it would work but nothing happens
right now its set to the default lalt + L
mystic pasture
Hmmm
viral ibex
ak74 or ak74m
stuck saffron
ak105 or svds
mystic pasture
I've never used that keybind tbh, why are you trying to fold out of the inventory? Just out of curiosity
I just middle mouse in the inventory
mystic pasture
It's newish
stuck saffron
so the actual keybind to fold stocks doesnt work
pallid cedar
im in offline mode just getting used to the game and none of the extraction points work
stuck saffron
Thank you for the info Ignis 🙂
mystic pasture
Are you in the inventory when you're using the alt + L one?
mystic pasture
That's the keybind for folding or unfolding in game equipped ones
stuck saffron
when you are holding the gun
mystic pasture
Yup
stuck saffron
Ic
mystic pasture
Yeah in inventory just middle mouse click on the gun
wet spade
What beginner gun can I use that I can put on optic?
stuck saffron
thanks for the help 🙂
mystic pasture
No worries
Vepr km is a decent weapon
Single shot ak
I think you can out a bastion dust cover on it and mount an optic on that
Or a vepr hunter, use a dovetail mount
The hunter takes more powerful ammo
rapid notch
What's the best way to deal with night time maps? I feel like I always get owned cause darkness.
narrow frost
night vision??
wet spade
VEPR KM I can put on optic?
mystic pasture
I play night customs without night vision cos I know the map like the back of my hand, I only play night for sneaking tho
@wet spade yes, you need a "Bastion dust cover"
If you're level 5 you can get one from the flea for pretty cheap
mystic pasture
Once you're 5 it'll be easier. Shouldn't be too long, just slap some scavs, you got it
wet spade
Do I start carrying keys in my alpha container?
mystic pasture
Definitely
swift dust
Anyone down to help with delivery from the past? I keep getting camped 😦
waxen forge
Carry keys if you plan on using them. With alpha it's a matter of need until you get a key tool and/or upgrade container with tasks.
Due to limited space.
pallid cedar
none of the extraction points are working
waxen forge
So you can see all of the discord
clever pelican
Hey guys new player here. Can i get some advice. First thing first i keep doing offline games to get used to customs. at this point i feel pretty good about combat as well as the map. But when i go pmc online mode i surelky do not look like i know what im doing. 😦 any advice on how to see enemy before they see me lol.
pallid cedar
help plz
torn widget
Anyone else not being able to get into a match?
clever pelican
@torn widget it takes me 8 minutes roughly to
mystic pasture
Ones with ??? Aren't always there Ian
waxen forge
Double tap letter O
pallid cedar
i go to the extraction point and nothing happens
mystic pasture
They have conditions
waxen forge
See what exfil you have
clever forge
im just starting would it be better to raid alone or go in w someone
swift dust
Not really understanding setup
pallid cedar
just got the game so im just confused over here lol
mystic pasture
You need to click the reactions @swift dust
waxen forge
Long matching times. I recommend you go to launcher and select top 6 lowest ping servers.
mystic pasture
So Ian, when you double press O your list of extracts comes up.
Any with ??? Aren't always there. What map are you on? Usually ??? Extracts that are there will have a light on, or green flares near it
waxen forge
@pallid cedar double tap letter O when in raid it shows available exfil. Ones with question mark are only possible. Go to one without question mark for guaranteed exit.
swift dust
Got it thank you
clever pelican
id be down to join but also new
pallid cedar
i was on customs but just died on my way to a different point...
i will try try double oo next game
clever forge
how many can you group with?
clever pelican
4
mystic pasture
5 players, 4 scavs
pallid cedar
@clever forge im down, but also new
mystic pasture
Max group sizes
@clever forge did you mean to call me? Sorry dude I'm in bed atm. It's like 4 am here no Tarkov for me
merry hawk

@waxen forge thank you for that

Don’t let the bedbugs bite
bold kernel
whos the best person to sell ammo to
finite pawn
Not sure I just hord it
torn widget
If you havnt done it already change it from double tap O to continous
Makes it alot easier
mystic pasture
Flea market if it's decent ammo for a gun you don't personally use.
Other than that it's mechanic I think
mystic pasture
That's a find in raid quest item
torn widget
Because i waited for 20 mins and i cant fucking find a game
mystic pasture
If you're looking to do the quests
bold kernel
well i think its a tank rond
swift dust
Do I just go to one of the LFG channels for customs in attempt to do the prapor customs quest?
nvm I found it sorry
wet spade
Also does a 50% vest block as much damage as 100%?
obsidian ledge
anyone wanna pair up?? Run a team raid.. im pretty new
wet spade
So do I repair my vest 😮
mystic pasture
If the vests durabik is lower than like 40% of its original max it'll have a much lower chance of stopping rounds
wet spade
Ahhh!
mystic pasture
At 0 durability it's like you're not wearing it at all
rotund falcon
how much are cat statues worth?
mystic pasture
35k about? I think
I repair stuff until it hits like 50% of its old max @wet spade and I don't use anything that's made of ceramic cos it repairs rubbish 😂
rotund falcon
do i need them for a task?
wet spade
How do I even unlock jager?
mystic pasture
It's a quest on woods from mechanic
slow helm
Anyone have any advise on how to hear things outside? I cant hear anyone coming. I always find people when I get shot at. Not able to hear.
wet spade
Does this mean that I need 1 bolt + nut as well?
pliant moon
Do some guns just naturally shoot low? The Vepr Hunter for instance?
wet spade
AHH omg
fallen crane
@slow helm some helmets hinder your hearing. Wear tactical headphones to hear shit louder
slow helm
Even during scav's i feel like i cant hear people other than yelling and guns
mystic pasture
@wet spade usually the items they want will be worth more than the gun, bolts and nuts go for nearly 20k each sometimes
modern steppe
sell or keep paracord?
stone surge
sell if you dont play reserve
you need rebel pick also, so meh just sell it honestly
mystic pasture
@pliant moon the ballistics are a bit wonky, cos the distances are typically smaller than IRL. So bullet drop can be WAY more than you think
stone surge
you'll rebuy it when you need it
mystic pasture
I'd sell it, by the time you need it for extracts you can afford to rebuy it
modern steppe
had like a 600k interchange run, found out the regular extract wasnt open, ran across the map to the railway extract and get dicked on by some dude with an m4
lean meteor
Hey friends. I just downloaded the game and have been trying to figure it out, but i die almost instantly when I get into a game...would anyone mind helping me out and go on a scav run with me?
pliant moon
@mystic pasture yeah but I'm noticing a decent little drop when shooting the closest target in my lvl 1 shooting range.... that can't be right can it??
sage hearth
does anyone wanna play im kinda new if you do hmu
stone surge
@pliant moon could also be the scope.
some scopes are not accurate.
slap a reflex on it and see if it still happens
pliant moon
tried hunter vepr with tt01 and another a few scopes and without the tt01 and a few other scopes
all seem to do it
reflex? kk
stone surge
ye
pliant moon
which reflex?
stone surge
PK-06
pliant moon
ty will do
stone surge
swap betwen the pk-06 and the other ones
because it only happens with some variable scopes
most/all reflex are fine though
merry hawk
best way to tell if you are about to shoot a PC scav vs PMC's? I constantly feel bad if i shoot a scav by accident 😦
mystic pasture
Player scavs wear different clothing
Which can be hard to tell with armour
But often they won't have armour or bags or helmets
keen notch
why does the flea market keep asking me to hand over items when i try to purchase other items
merry hawk
yea, saw that PMCs normally have black under them. Scavs are normally brown-ish. . killed a well geared scav though. . feel bad. that dude was going to rake it in
candid cypress
what do you do with your teammates loot when they die?
how do you help them get it back, I guess is what I'm asking
mystic pasture
@keen notch click the cog icon and unfilter barter items
keen notch
@mystic pasture lol just noticed it as u said that
mystic pasture
If they insured it @candid cypress you can lob it in a bush
keen notch
@mystic pasture seems like a good way to get scammed on by default
mystic pasture
It can be
candid cypress
ahh, so pick it up, and put it where people wont' normally look?
mystic pasture
The estimated values are WAY off too
@candid cypress yeah, depending on the map you can get it in places where people can't get to it.
What I usually do is empty their backpack of looted items, whatever they insured goes in their backpack, take it, dump it in a bush somewhere, then pick mine back up
merry hawk
@candid cypress if it is their gear they brought in and they insured it. . yes. hide it so Prapor returns it. If they found it in the raid or they didn't insure it. . get keep what you need
candid cypress
alrigh ty, thanks
rotund falcon
god matching takes forever
merry hawk
what is ya'lls experience with doing the lfg with randoms in game? I've only LFG'd with friends in discord.
mystic pasture
Never done it, all I've ever heard is horror stories of people being killed
But if you do get killed by a random lfg, report them through the launcher, it's bankable
Bannable
fast dagger
@merry hawk terrible to be honest
merry hawk
Wow! that is strong, but likely needed in this type of game
fast dagger
a lot of the people i have lfg with think that everything is theirs even if they dont kill somone
im all for sharing but who gets the kill gets first dibs
storm tulip
Im stuck at level 8, and every PMC run I do I just get one shotted....
errant crescent
is it normal for squads to have different exits?
mystic pasture
Scav yes
storm tulip
Like is everyone just in insane gear?
fast dagger
yes as scavs
errant crescent
last 2 games my friend and i have had exits on the opposite sides of map
stone surge
@storm tulip Nope
mystic pasture
You're late into a wipe so there are super geared peiple
plucky burrow
hi i just bought the game few days ago
stone surge
prob less than 20% is actually heavily geared on average.
mystic pasture
But there are plenty of newbies
stone surge
if you die, your instinct will assume you're killed by a heavy geared player
while most of the time it's just an average geared player
or average gun
plucky burrow
is it possible to have my aks-74u to have holosights?
mystic pasture
People will seem "heavily geared" cos at the start you don't have access to amazing ammo
