beginners-assistance

[merry hawk]

My newbie goal is to do scav runs and offline PMC runs until i have enough scav gear to do a few runs and not miss what i lose. . cause i'm sure my first PMC runs won't go well

[stone surge]

you can only tell if they're heavily geared, if you see them

[idle bluff]

@plucky burrow Put on a B-18 mount or B-11/B-12 or XRSU

Then you can use an EoTech.

[mystic pasture]

Even then an average helmet backpack and armour can seem heavily geared 😂

[rigid osprey]

anyone interested in teaching a new player?

[pseudo mural]

Please do not run PRS ammo in your 5.45 weapons, or US in your 7.62

[merry hawk]

@rigid osprey I did a LOT of watching streamers. .there are some that give play by plays of what they are doing and why. . that was the best benefit i found

[pseudo mural]

just ran into another level 1 pmc in factory(don't go there as a newbie)

running PRS ammo

[rigid osprey]

ok

[valid dove]

how do you rotate gear in stash

[rigid osprey]

i mean i pretty much have the extractions down in customs

[pseudo mural]

press R cythrex

[valid dove]

ah

thank you

[timber bolt]

does the svd have a suppressor

i swear they added one in the recent patch

[mystic pasture]

Yes

You need a thread adaptor

[timber bolt]

thanks

what's the suppressor called

i can't find it in fm

[mystic pasture]

Rotor 43 I think

There's one with that name for quite a few calibers so get the right one

[timber bolt]

oh

it's called a muzzle brake lmaooo

wtf

thanks ignis

[mystic pasture]

Oh yeah

Sorry forgot about that, it's under muzzle breaks

[bold kernel]

FUCKING FINALLY

[sweet yacht]

hey guys, what med do i use if one part of my body goes all the way to zero?

[wet spade]

wheres the scav extraction old gas station at?

[timber bolt]

nah you have no reason to be sorry

[wet spade]

same as PCM/

[timber bolt]

thanks for saving me 10 minutes

[mystic pasture]

@sweet yacht CMS or Survival kit

[sweet yacht]

thanks!

[mystic pasture]

It'll take the limb to 1 hp then you can med it

You can't use one on thorax or head

[wet spade]

ahh omg I found it

i'm having so much troule with passage with a rock extraction

.>

[mystic pasture]

Both thorax or head can go to 0 from bleeding, and you can live if you bandage before another tick

@wet spade that extract is so troll, it's so far from the passage between the two rocks 😂

[stone surge]

you can't die from bleeding below 0

it'll just stay there

7n39 generally brings someone to 1hp through Altyn and most of the time you bleed to 0, but you wont die.

even if you dont bandage right away

[mystic pasture]

I thought if you bled to 0 on head or thorax and took one more tick you died. Huh.

[stone surge]

Nah

[mystic pasture]

Never been in the situation luckily 😂

[stone surge]

you just can't CMS yourself

so it'll always stay 0

[languid flare]

Operate your head, no biggie

[stone surge]

and if you get shot @ your limbs and it blacks out and you take 1 more damage

you instantly die

so you're basically fked if ur head/thorax = 0hp

[mystic pasture]

Yeah

[woeful zealot]

are there any other channels beside setup and rules where i need to react to get access to lfg?

[stone surge]

nah

thats all

[mystic pasture]

Nope, try unticking and reticking the reactions

[stone surge]

you need pmc tag

[frosty crown]

difference between akmn and akm?

which is better

[split vapor]

akmn has a dovetail mount

and stats maybe better by like 1%

but overall both still trash

[bronze oak]

did they ever fix the fullscreen refresh issue to where you would have to turn vsync on to make the fps higher?

[patent hound]

anyone want to party up? im new and looking for some help

[copper tide]

same here, im getting destroyed

[split vapor]

its not an issue when the fps is capped

you can get around it

[blissful cosmos]

Im down for partying up

I just got the game though

[wise cave]

Hi

[mystic pasture]

If you have a white name guys head to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup click the reactions that apply to you. you'll get access to more channels

[idle bluff]

You're set, Weapons.

[blissful cosmos]

I hit all the ones I saw

[mystic pasture]

Sometimes it's slow, or reticking them works

[blissful cosmos]

Ok let me try agian

[mystic pasture]

Its done ☺️

[blissful cosmos]

Ayyy

Thanks

[mystic pasture]

Np

[humble heath]

Are servers pretty bad right now or are they back to normal?

[mystic pasture]

They're better

[torn widget]

It would be nice if i was able to play this game before i have to go to school tommorow

But i cannot

[mystic pasture]

Menus aren't lagging as mucnz queues can be long still

[blissful cosmos]

What map should one run as a beginner

[proper ginkgo]

Wtf am I supposed to do when someone is just camping with a thermal scope sniping me from across the map and there's nowhere I can go

[fallen crane]

die

[torn widget]

@blissful cosmos you cannot play a map considering there are 2 servers for every mao and 100,000 people trying to play

map*

[hollow zenith]

@proper ginkgo try and try again lol, Tarkov life

[torn widget]

That was a joke but it might aswell be that way

[proper ginkgo]

thats just garbage gameplay

[fallen crane]

how do you know they have a thermal?

[torn widget]

its not garbage gameplay

[mystic pasture]

Learning customs is good cos all the early quests are there, but it can be tough cos it has lots of chokes.

Interchange is good for making money

[torn widget]

You're just mad someone killed you

[fallen crane]

unless you kill them theres no way to tell

[wet spade]

holy shit, are scopes that expensive

[mystic pasture]

Thermals can't see through trees or bushesike magic

[wet spade]

just want a normal optic for my adar

[fallen crane]

like a 1x or a magnified one?

[mystic pasture]

I use the reap-ir and bushes still obscure you

[wet spade]

hmm 1x is fine

[split vapor]

well yeah

[wet spade]

just cant standd the default iron sight T_T

[fallen crane]

you don't see 100% through bushes but you can still see people behind them

[split vapor]

infrared doesnt magically go through bushes

[torn widget]

Yo Default iron sight for ADAR is great

Compared to aks where the only thing you can actually see is the area above the gun

Because the iron sight might as well just be a block

[mystic pasture]

@fallen crane yeh you see people in the gaps between leaves, I just meant that thermals aren't the easy free kill people think ☺️ also people who use em are generally more ballsy and rely on them, they're easier to flank cos they're adsing more than usual etc

[errant crescent]

should i switch queue if it goes 20 mins or longer

[torn widget]

No it will always be like that

This game has the worst servers ive ever seen

[mint hawk]

Thermal helps with the Bush wookies though

[mystic pasture]

I usually sit in for 5 or 6 mins then requeue usually gets me in after about a min 😂 EU tho

Oh it helps for sure

[mint hawk]

@errant crescent what region? I never have this

I'm waiting for players at like 3 mins usually

[fallen crane]

the servers are having a hard time because the population has literally doubled over the past week

[torn widget]

In U.S. you cant find a server in under 10 mins

And thats a fucking garuntee

[timber dock]

I don't have that problem.

[fallen crane]

what servers are you set to?

[torn widget]

I got the lowest ping one

My games take like 15 mins to find

[mystic pasture]

Do you only have one server selected?

[torn widget]

you can select more then one ?

[timber dock]

...

[mystic pasture]

Yes

[torn widget]

FUCK

[mystic pasture]

😂

[timber dock]

Just leave it on auto.

[mystic pasture]

You're welcome

Enjoy the game bud

[torn widget]

Howq many should i select

[timber dock]

None, set it to auto./

[mystic pasture]

Leave it on auto tbh

[steady pilot]

@torn widget that's because you're sleeping on the tt01 ironsight. Hmu when you use it ;)

[pallid cedar]

super long matching times?

[torn widget]

Best for VPO rifle?

ammo*

[wet spade]

Only scav will speak right?

[mystic pasture]

Players can voiceline too

[wet spade]

I have no idea why diD the scav shoot me 😮

[mystic pasture]

If a scav shot you it was a player scav

[wet spade]

Ahhh!

[mystic pasture]

Unless you had killed a scav before

[wet spade]

But their name?

Will it be player name of the scav's name

or*

[mystic pasture]

Player scavs have normal scav names

[wet spade]

Ah dammit

That was so random, scare the hell out of me

[mystic pasture]

😂

AI scavs only ever have one weapon

[wet spade]

Also! Are the hidden stashes 100% spawn rate?

[mystic pasture]

Yeah

[wet spade]

I heard players in the gas station and they spoke

So I thought those are scavs ):

[mystic pasture]

Oh

That was probably reshala guards

[fallen crane]

reshala and friends?

yeah haha

[wet spade]

Oh?

[mystic pasture]

Was the surname zvektsodovskty or something?

[fallen crane]

they will tell you to fuck off and if you don't they will kill you

[wet spade]

I have no idea LOL

They shot me instantly tho

[worldly rivet]

that's the boss

[wet spade]

Like INSTANT

[worldly rivet]

and the crew

[mystic pasture]

Yeah that's the scav boss 😂

He has four guards

They're hostile to player scavs

[wet spade]

Ahhh dammit

[mystic pasture]

He can spawn at gas station or dorms

[wet spade]

Ahhh I died to Kolyan Zavodskoy

After googling yes I did die to them

[mystic pasture]

That's the scav guard ahab

They all have the same surname

[blazing oar]

how do i get this map

so i can play the game

[mystic pasture]

You can Google the maps

There are some good high quality ones

[blazing oar]

i cant send a picture in here but its saying i cant do a raid because i dont have a map

[mystic pasture]

You can click next past that screen

You don't need a nap

[worldly frost]

Hey guys, got a question

[blazing oar]

ohhh i see thanks

[mystic pasture]

No problem

[scarlet breach]

https://www.gamemaps.co.uk/game/tarkov/

Can someone pin this ^

Is pinned

[worldly frost]

I've seen that some primitive crafting items like bolts, duct tape etc sell for a lot, or sell for other primitive crafting items like that chocolate bar to make sugar with or something. What I want to do as a standard edition player is to get the most amount of space I can, I've seen that there are item / gun cases, containers, magazine cases etc but they are pretty expensive, forget even the "THICC" ones. What are some items that new players can profit from that are seeked in the flea market somewhat expensively, especially on making money starting off with low tier gear?

[split vapor]

wiki>fake uk rip off of the wiki

[mystic pasture]

Keys small tech items can be good

[scarlet breach]

It's more organized and less ads

[fallen crane]

scav run interchange and fill up your bag with stuff from the back of the stores like oli @worldly frost \

[mystic pasture]

Google the hidden stash locations on interchange or customs and run those

[worldly frost]

I had found a lot of bolts, duct tape, small items that you can sell to Prapor for cheap but enough money that I got rid of, not knowing how much they were worth or what they were used for

[mystic pasture]

They can net you profit safely

[split vapor]

just read the wiki

[timber dock]

@worldly frost this isn't the most accurate of spreadsheets but it's potentially a decent overview. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lwfbW-d_BH5HcisO_S4Hd7_GPtnx6gG3krKVASH7oQU

[worldly frost]

@split vapor Link?

[mystic pasture]

Also

Therapist will give you the best prices for barter stuff out if the vendors

So unless you're selling to prapor to level him it's better to sell to therapist

For barter items

[worldly frost]

I haven't been able to do any quest aka level any trader

I have under 10hours of playtime so I basically have used up most of my starting gear and replaced it with tactical rigs, backpacks, AK versions with attachments suited for raids, some helmets. Using up 90% of my space within backpacks and rigs aswell

So I have standard edition and went to look for more space. realized it costs a lot.

I've got around 900k

Thanks

[blazing oar]

caught my first death

[mystic pasture]

Tbf just sell everything you get until you start running low on weapons

[blazing oar]

didnt know my gun was on semi automatic

[mystic pasture]

Then save a few

Then sell again

Etc

@blazing oar alt + b when in raid

Checks fire mode

[worldly frost]

I thought I should probably sell most loot I've obtained because most of the loot I can gather are from scav runs anyhow

So I can perhaps afford an item case

[blazing oar]

how do i buy another gun?

[worldly frost]

At 1.3mil ish

[blazing oar]

i need to have two horse statues to buy a gun?

[split vapor]

Everyone with a white name go to #521628660298678283 and hit the so you can see the rest of the server and chat history.

[worldly frost]

@blazing oar You can buy some guns with just money.

[timber dock]

"some guns"

Look at the guns that don't have the two arrows in the top-left corner.

[blazing oar]

what guns should i buy then?

[timber dock]

since those are barters.

Anything with a price tag.

Really, though, you probably want to do some Scav runs.

[worldly frost]

@mystic pasture Should I sell most of my loot to reach up to 1.3 or 1.5mil and buy a lucky scav junkbox off flea market?

[mystic pasture]

Mostly my rule is, if I'm not gonna use it

It gets sold

Anything you need you can rebuy. On the wiki there's an image for quest items that has to be found in raid

[split vapor]

use it or sell it

[mystic pasture]

^

[worldly frost]

I'm just saying this because most of my loot comes off scav runs. I would rarely use most of those guns, and when it comes to loot, I don't have space most of the time.

[blazing oar]

should i sell all this shit or what

[mystic pasture]

The junk box is worth getting tbh. It's the first container I bought. If you're saving found in raid stuff for future quests

[worldly frost]

I personally went on a few pistol runs for loot, and especially one in woods I scored a pistol kill on a decked out guy with m1a springfield or whatever and extracted

[mystic pasture]

@blazing oar you don't need to, you got space. Use em

You can kill geared pmcs with one shot to the face so nothing to lose by trying it

If they don't have a facemask

[blazing oar]

how do i heal my self?

[worldly frost]

med kits

the ones you'll have look like orange sticky notes.

[blazing oar]

i use it in game?

[worldly frost]

No

You CAN

[mystic pasture]

You can use it in inventory

[worldly frost]

but you would want to use it before the raid, from your inventory to heal yourself up if you don't want to waiit

[mystic pasture]

Outside of raids too

[worldly frost]

Yeah I'm going to see what I can get rid of and get that scav junkbox.

[blazing oar]

i figured it out

[alpine trout]

What stock should I get for an ADAR?

[blazing oar]

so if a select scav what happens

[mystic pasture]

Google virions weapon modding

[worldly frost]

You go on a scav run, your character won't be used

you spawn in with random items

and other scavs aka bots don't attack you if you don't attack them

You might come across other scav players though, so watch out for "bot movement"

[blazing oar]

i see

[mystic pasture]

Canksy that was to you, the virion thing. He has a good spreadsheet of decent modded weapons

You can keep anything you take out of a scav raid

But you won't level up your pmc and it's random hear

Gear

[blazing oar]

thats dope as fuck id just play that then for the moment

idk why i even wasted all my guns going as my main character

[mystic pasture]

You won't level your pmc or PMC skills tho, so be aware of that

[worldly frost]

Do that ^and do pmc runs with a good melee weapon and nothing else

[mystic pasture]

And scavs can only be used every 20 mins

[worldly frost]

Keep your pouch container on PMC empty for melee runs so you can stash anything important in it - nothing can be stolen from that

Ignis, what lvl are you and how much money do you have on tarkov?

[mystic pasture]

I'm like level 32 got 2.2 mil roubles 8k euros

[split vapor]

20 minutes yes and no

[worldly frost]

20 mins of ingame time

Is it

[split vapor]

It’s standard is that and can be lowered in the hideout

[worldly frost]

oh

[split vapor]

Intel lvl1 drops it to 16-17

[worldly frost]

Should I unload any guns I am going to sell to prapor, and or also take off attachments?

[mystic pasture]

The countdown starts when you extract or die

[split vapor]

And lvl3 drops it some more

We could have the old scav timer of one hour back

[fallen crane]

[blazing oar]

how do i loot?

[worldly frost]

Right click

examine

Then move it over to your own slots

[mystic pasture]

Press middle mouse to examine

[worldly frost]

You'll need to click "search" on the containers

aswell

[mystic pasture]

Ctrl + click to loot

Alt + click to equip

And you only need to click where it says I searched

☺️

[blazing oar]

alright bros how i get the heckm outta here

[mystic pasture]

Double tap o

It'll show you your extracts

Any with ??? Aren't always open

[blazing oar]

i have to wait 23 mins?

[mystic pasture]

No

[blazing oar]

idk where any of these places are

[mystic pasture]

What map are you on?

[blazing oar]

no idea

woods?

[mystic pasture]

What extracts are listed?

[blazing oar]

outskirts dead mans place and factory gate

how do i pick the spot

[mystic pasture]

Ok. You're on woods. If you can see the water

Outskirts is round the water to the right

If you're looking at it

Best thing to do is Google the map name before you go on it. Or go on the wiki there are maps online

[blazing oar]

why do the mags have a question mark?

[mystic pasture]

Unless you loaded them, you won't know how much ammo is in them

And once you shoot them, if you reload a partially empty mag your character won't know how many bullets are left in it

You can middle mouse the mag to check

[wet spade]

Are the hideouts important?

[mystic pasture]

But it'll only give you a rough estimate on most mags

You can use it to craft stuff

[blazing oar]

this is everything i got

good haul?

i really need to find the extraction point

[mystic pasture]

You killed the scav boss

We're you at a lumber yard?

Find the water. Face it and follow it round to the right.

The extract is the edge of the map

[blazing oar]

yeah it looks like im at some sort of factory

[mystic pasture]

If it's got log piles and cabins and warehouses

Put the warehouses on your right

And walk to the water

[mystic pasture]

Best thing to do. Get in a bush

Actually hang on

[mystic pasture]

Woods map with extracts

[red pilot]

Hey all, whats the best channel to look for groups to do missions?

[mystic pasture]

@blazing oar you're in the top left somewhere I think

[blazing oar]

i need to bring pmc in order to extract?

[sweet yacht]

anyone know how to gain a boost of fps in this game?

[mystic pasture]

you're at factort gate then

[worldly rivet]

youtube has a pretty good deal of help

[mystic pasture]

you need to head to another extract

[sweet yacht]

hmm alright ill search some vids up

[blazing oar]

i have 10 mins to extract now

[worldly rivet]

how did you even kill him

what gun

[mystic pasture]

You can make it, head back to the water

[worldly rivet]

mosin?

[mystic pasture]

follow it round

[worldly rivet]

yeah just follow the lake

[mystic pasture]

just gotta hustle

[worldly rivet]

run run run

10 minutes is plenty

you absolute madlad

[dull silo]

can anyone explain why it said it required 7000 rubles to extract? is that because it was like some half way extraction point?

[blazing oar]

if im facing th gate where do i go?

[mystic pasture]

Right

[worldly rivet]

@dull silo that's a certain extraction

that needs money

its just the one

@blazing oar go right

and keep going right

and then follow the lake

[mystic pasture]

go right along the wall, find the water, follow the water @blazing oar

[worldly rivet]

all the way back

[mystic pasture]

man I hope you extract

[red pilot]

If its 10 mins left its unlikely any PMC are still there so running should be relatively safe

[worldly rivet]

im more scared for him than he is

holy shit

[mystic pasture]

Im rooting for you so hard

[worldly rivet]

^

[red pilot]

I really hope he makes it too

[mystic pasture]

Fuckin mad lad killin schturman as a scav

[mystic pasture]

Ok facing the lake go right and follow the lake

[worldly rivet]

and just keep following the lake

and MARCH ONWARD

[mystic pasture]

There will be a rock with a dead scav you might be able to get out there

[red pilot]

@full tulip

[worldly rivet]

You need to sprint now

[icy summit]

Killing shturman.... isn't a great feat...

[mystic pasture]

as a new player

[icy summit]

not to take from the victory, iguess.

[mystic pasture]

On a scav

It's pretty good

[plucky burrow]

how did you kill the boss though

[red pilot]

YAY!~

[remote gulch]

thats a incredible story right there

[plucky burrow]

gurnade?

[icy summit]

I myself do that with Shotgun + slugs

[mystic pasture]

As a brand new player?

[icy summit]

he dosen't wear a helmet, just blow his head off

no, that's actuall advice

[red pilot]

Its his 3rd ever run boys and girls

[blazing oar]

Good job Nathan

[blazing oar]

[mystic pasture]

😂

[blazing oar]

brb

[plucky burrow]

and here i am hiding in the bush for the 10th time

[remote gulch]

😩

[icy summit]

With shturman you have to go in quick and hard

if you stay at range or play it slow

[true fox]

sounds like ur mum

[icy summit]

he will bully you

he sees throught walls and bushes

[worldly rivet]

LETS GOOOOOOOO

[icy summit]

A cool thing about shturman btw

62 head hp

[blazing oar]

was that good loott?

[icy summit]

Not for shturman, actually

you sure that wasn't one of his guards?

[mystic pasture]

The white keycard is 200k ish on the flea

He got the stash key

[plucky burrow]

i see nathan was doing a night run

[icy summit]

Yeah, had to be him

[mystic pasture]

That's from the boss right?

[icy summit]

Yeah.

The stash is garbage tho

a bit of shame.

[blazing oar]

he shot at me first i thought it was a player

[icy summit]

woah, rare

usually if you let Shturman first, you are already dead

[blazing oar]

killed him w a seiga

[icy summit]

Told ya - SHOTGUNS are the way

[plucky burrow]

slug or pellet?

[icy summit]

Dosen't really matter, just deal a shitton flesh dmg.

[blazing oar]

idk but i wasnt missing

[mystic pasture]

Nathan got shot at and went "and anyways I just started blasting"

[icy summit]

Speaking of Saigas

why the 20rounder is so expensive

why the hell is that.

[blazing oar]

should have shadow played it for you guys

[mystic pasture]

I'm in bed otherwise I would have jumped in a call and would have got you to screen share to lead you out

[steel radish]

Sick of exit campers

[blazing oar]

you still helped a lot

[icy summit]

you playing factory?

[mystic pasture]

I honestly have only ever seen one exit camper

[icy summit]

They don't really happen outside of factory.

[steel radish]

Shoreline. couple games in a row. Camping the lighthouse

PMC too. killing off scavs exfilling

[mystic pasture]

@blazing oar you got the flea market yet?

[wet spade]

Are players in general "campy" in this game?

[icy summit]

he was most likely camping the bridge

alot more important then fucking lighthouse.

[blazing oar]

let me check

[mystic pasture]

Not really? It's a good idea to not just yeet around all the time. So good players move, then listen, move then listen, etc

[steel radish]

I had a bad feeling came across the far side by the pmc boat

Didnt see me

[mystic pasture]

If you haven't don't vendor the keycard, wait til you have flea

You can sell it for 180-200k depending on the time

[steel radish]

got up to the lighthouse and he was just sitting there by the box, must have been there 10 minutes

[icy summit]

I often sit for up to ~45min on one spot

xD

but that's us, i guess.

[blazing oar]

i dont have the flea market

[mystic pasture]

You get it at level 5

[icy summit]

you need to lvl up quick

it's quite importnat.

[blazing oar]

how to do i reposition the gun so its vertical ?

[full tulip]

R

Make sure to examine stuff at the vendors, gives xp and is great to save time mid looting

[mystic pasture]

Click and drag and press r

Yeah open all the traders and examine everything

[spiral dirge]

Click middle mouse to quick examine

And fold guns

[pliant elk]

Morning lads, I'm Level 10 and have died 35 times out of like 45 Raids is this normal or do I play to aggressive? I'm waiting on like 15 Insurances 🤣

I mostly do tasks solo

[blazing oar]

i want a bad ass sniper rifle

[upbeat flax]

Cool?

[blazing oar]

who do i get it from

[upbeat flax]

There's like uhh 4 bolties in the game

[mystic pasture]

The SVD is pretty good

The one you just got

[plucky burrow]

fence? i guess he sometimes sells random crud

[upbeat flax]

I'm guessing you're new because you don't know the guns.

Flea is your best choice

Fence shouldn't be used except for memes

[plucky burrow]

i need to play more

[upbeat flax]

[blazing oar]

what to do now

[upbeat flax]

?

Which sniper did you get

[mystic pasture]

I would personally try to level your pmc to 5 once you have the flea market you have lots more options

He killed schturman

Got the SVD

[upbeat flax]

How

I can't kill that bitch for anything

[mystic pasture]

😂

He did it on like his 2nd scav run

With a saiga

Didn't even know the map

[blazing oar]

i did not say that

[upbeat flax]

I forget how big the scav house side of the map is

[icy summit]

I just tried my luck against shturman

[mystic pasture]

You should have 😂

[plucky burrow]

my bad

[blazing oar]

you good lol

[icy summit]

As i sed, get close. Very close

[amber ledge]

is there an lfg for this server or nah

[icy summit]

head to #521628660298678283

[mystic pasture]

But yeh Nathan, do scav runs, use the guns you get from them to do a PMC run

Get your pmc to 5

Learn the maps, then sky's the limit

[plucky burrow]

LOL

[upbeat flax]

Scav runs are always so fucking weird

[amber ledge]

so no lfg?

[plucky burrow]

@blazing oar was it a red keycard btw?

[stone surge]

@amber ledge #521628660298678283 #news-setup #pvp-lfg

[mystic pasture]

If you go to #521628660298678283

You'll get the blue name

And see all the channels

@plucky burrow nah it was the access one

[plucky burrow]

ahh ok

[wet spade]

Why is the extraction red?

[hidden iron]

I would like to know this as well

[worldly frost]

If the extraction is red, it is no longer usable

Either due to a timeframe being missed, or if you're a scav / PMC and it's only a scav or a PMC etc from my knowledge

[icy summit]

yes and no.

It usually still works

but the timer dosen't.

[stone surge]

ye it seems bugged once in a while

but even then, trailerpark is next to it

so it's not that big of a deal

[worldly frost]

I'm going through Rainlyte's Beginner's Guide, are there any other guides better as an information bank on the game and how things work?

@icy summit

[icy summit]

never heard of that

let me see what's in it.

Pesitly has some decent video guides.

[left oxide]

The video series I always recommend is from Pestily, which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkpwFfAqV8Q&list=PLZJoJ7H5ZfosAtkZzjr7e4YyG6jTb530F

[worldly frost]

I basically need a lot of information on how barter items, containers, flea market economy, best ways to complete missions and if some are worth to cheat, and everything else. Half way through the guide and most I've read is VERY beginner friendly so I haven't gotten to the parts I do not know yet

[icy summit]

Wiki

[worldly frost]

Already watched, but you can hardly fit so much into a video

[icy summit]

Wiki wiki wiki.

[worldly frost]

I'm going through it but still

[icy summit]

I mean... there is not many information needed in my opinion.

[left oxide]

The one I listed is 1/17 in a video series he has for new players

[worldly frost]

I mean I basically sold a lot of items like duct tape, bolts, screws for some money because I hadn't known they are worth a lot more on the flea market for other uses

That which I do not entirely get and trying to learn how flea market / player economy works

[icy summit]

Most things you have to learn by yourself.

[worldly frost]

I'm trying to get enough currency to buy a scav junkbox

[icy summit]

1.2m, if i recall

[worldly frost]

Because standard edition and I'm maxing inv space already

[icy summit]

was it?

[worldly frost]

1.4 ish

right now

[open flower]

what do i do when i get flashbanged

[worldly frost]

I've got 900k and some loot to sell, trying to get info on how to sell it best

[open flower]

running in circles didnt help

[left oxide]

@open flower Die

[worldly frost]

you hope that he doesn't push you

lmao

[open flower]

yeah

[icy summit]

@open flower die

Suppresive fire

[bold kernel]

does anyone have a guide for weapon modding / attachments ? no videos please

[icy summit]

throw granades back

[open flower]

that sucks

my nade didnt kill him

somehow

rip my kit

[left oxide]

In all seriousness your best option, though hopeless, when you get flashed, DON'T IMMEDIATELY START SHOOTING, they will know you're flashed hard. Keep holding your angle and hope you can hear footsteps getting closer. When you do, spray and pray.

[icy summit]

^ that's about it

but iwth a good flash

you FUCKED

[left oxide]

Also looking away from the flash will help a little bit.

[open flower]

ty

[icy summit]

not if very close

[whole hamlet]

we need 2 for shoreline runs

[left oxide]

Yeah, if it's right on you, black screen. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP bang

[icy summit]

#dorms

Sometimes i go there with 6+ flashes

lob them at people

beat them to death.

[bold kernel]

does anyone have a guide for weapon modding / attachments please? no videos please

[icy summit]

not really

what you need?

[bold kernel]

general guide

[left oxide]

I like to kit my pockets/rig out with F-1/Flash/F-1/Flash and they have no idea what to do when you throw them one after the other like that haha.

[bold kernel]

some basics

[icy summit]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yHyVEVB5oN0qL_pR1qTNP1_ICmzJ3SCFJQNb6XDM_DQ/edit#gid=0

[stone surge]

the guide I have and this is to learn it yourself; Upgrade workbench lvl 1 then go to ur weapon and click "edit presets"

[bold kernel]

ty

[stone surge]

then u can see all available mods for ur weapon

it only sees the mods you "examined" though

so it's recommended to examine everything from flea/traders

so you dont miss mods

[icy summit]

^

[bold kernel]

aight (y) will do

[wet spade]

c

i can't get out? i'm already at the road

wtf man

i just died

it just counts down to 0 non stop

and i'm still in game

[woeful rose]

question my fellow Escape artists, What does the wipe effect? everything including levels??? or is it just your stash, hide out and traders?

[icy summit]

everything.

[split vapor]

Everything

[icy summit]

back to square 1

[bold kernel]

and some basic stuff which is more expensive to sell at flea than traders? so i know what not to sell in general

[icy summit]

it's great

[left oxide]

@woeful rose Everything. As if you just purchased the game.

[icy summit]

most things

standa

almost everything.

[bold kernel]

fuck

[stone surge]

dont you keep some skill progression?

[bold kernel]

xd

[icy summit]

no.

[left oxide]

No, @stone surge

[woeful rose]

has the next wipe been announced yet?

[left oxide]

No

[icy summit]

March.

[left oxide]

I LIED
IGNORE ME

[woeful rose]

sweet my birthday month thats so awesome.

[stone surge]

tarkov on wipe day is quite fun

[left oxide]

Damn that soon though huh.

[stone surge]

when the market has yet to be established.

[proper quiver]

Oi lads. So Slight issue here, the game won't let me purchase it, please help. Last night it was declining the payment despite the bank telling me there were no issues, and now it won't even let me fill in the payment info? What do?

[icy summit]

#community-support

[scarlet breach]

Use PayPal

[bold kernel]

and what about the things from better editions for example? is buying better editions useless then if it gets wiped out?

[woeful rose]

will it be a long time after this coming wipe til the next wipe?

[icy summit]

no, you keep these.

[left oxide]

@woeful rose Honestly there is no way to tell. It all depends on the update cycle and what BSG has planned for the game.

The last wipe took about 10 months to come around.

[proper quiver]

Wait there are wipe days? Wat?

[left oxide]

(though that is an outlier case since they were changing engines)

[woeful rose]

alright sweet, one more thing if i upgrade my stash through the hide out that will wipe too correct?

[bold kernel]

@proper quiver it’s what keeps the game fresh

ye @woeful rose would make sense

[left oxide]

Yes there are wipes, only during beta. On full release there will be no wipes IIRC.

Don't quote me on that :x

[bold kernel]

@left oxide do u get the game on steam or their launcher

[icy summit]

Quote Nikita on that.

[bold kernel]

after the release

probably their launcher but just to be sure

[left oxide]

Their launcher.

Yes @woeful rose . Everything including hideout, levels, experience, trader loyalty, money, stash, loot, insurance, tasks, EVERYTHING, gets wiped and everyone starts fresh.

[proper quiver]

Yikes. I may just wait till the game is a little more finished to purchase if the preorder doesnt even function properly lol

[left oxide]

It's actually great since you get to experience the early game and use "bad" gear, which can actually be fun since most people aren't armed to the teeth yet and can actually die to stuff like the Klin or the new Vepr 215

[wet spade]

MAN

I'm looting and I'm stuck in the

Tab inventory screen wtf

[left oxide]

Yeah I had thought so @icy summit just wanted someone else who knew for sure to confirm, so thanks for that XD

[woeful rose]

@proper quiver i got this game while it was on sale man and honestly even though there are wipes it is the best shooter looter i have played, i get jump scared and that adrenaline feeling i haven't felt in a game for years, 10/10 recommend. 😉

[icy summit]

Klin is OP

im running Labs with it

xD

[woeful rose]

last night i got jumped by a dude wearing some creepy mask and i felt like i was having a heart attack, it was nice.

[icy summit]

Klin, KEDR-b, Kedra

[steel radish]

How long will my twitch drops stay in my message inventory?

[icy summit]

It might have been me

[left oxide]

That series of guns is just hilarious.

[icy summit]

no clue

[left oxide]

@steel radish Assuming it works like a quest reward, in theory, until the wipe.

[steel radish]

Thanks! I have some Fort that I dont have room for, but my runs have been so crappy I keep getting my junk back in insurance. lol

[tepid fossil]

Going to do a pretty stacked pmc run with a trio what helmet and armor should i get?

[steel radish]

Keep running with ADARs and they are always coming back to me

[left oxide]

Level and how much money you got @tepid fossil

[tepid fossil]

level 7 and 850k roubles @left oxide

[wet spade]

how do i fix my leg?

i can't heak it

[tepid fossil]

cms kit @wet spade

or

surv12

[left oxide]

Black Rock rig, 6B47 helmet, 6B13 armor, Comtacs

[tepid fossil]

Gotcha

[left oxide]

Should be a good level build for you right now

[steel radish]

Is it s semi safe strategy to but up all teh t-7's I can at 2.4mill and sell in week or two? Kind of expecting the price to double

[tepid fossil]

39k? @left oxide

[left oxide]

@steel radish That's a good idea. A lot of prices are skewed because of the drops so high ticket items like that are good to sit on for a while to let the price normalize.

[tepid fossil]

For the blackrock

[left oxide]

The whole kit will cost about 200k @tepid fossil

[steel radish]

I can't remember the going rate before drops. Is is about 5?

[tepid fossil]

Right

Gotcha

will buy

[left oxide]

Before the drop people were selling it for 12m.

Not everyone has it unlocked in Jaeger so they charge a premium.

It's 7.9m from Jaeger directly.

[steel radish]

Oh wow. I am glad I have been busting my ass and have a handful then.

I think I would be too scared to run with them. Might as well sell. lol

[left oxide]

That, my friend, is what we call gear fear

One thing to always remember: Gear sitting forever in your stash is WORSE than gear you took in and lost.

Because not only are you not using it, it takes up space which can be used to make money.

[stone surge]

True

[steel radish]

I know. Problem is that I seem to lose more stuff to the server fucking up than to actually come out on top

Figure if I sell it, atleast I am making something off it

[left oxide]

The thing is

If you sell it, and you want it back guess what

............buy it

[tepid fossil]

@left oxide Should i bring an adar 12-15 and another gun or a different gun entirely?

[left oxide]

Haha

[tepid fossil]

It'll use m856A1 bullets

[left oxide]

The only reason you should bring in a secondary gun is if your primary is like, a bolt action or something.

[tepid fossil]

Gotcha

[left oxide]

Even then I wouldn't worry about bringing in a secondary until you're kinda gun rich

[tepid fossil]

I won't then

[left oxide]

I bring a secondary like... literally 1/100 raids at level 45

A pistol will suffice if you're concerned

[tepid fossil]

Eh

No point

I'll bring 2 mags and 1 on my weapon

[left oxide]

And the ADAR is fine at your level. Ammo is just a bit expensive is all. It has great stats though for what it is.

[icy summit]

ADAR is great at any level

[tepid fossil]

Yeah

Tru

[left oxide]

Another trick if you're concerned about your ammo count, bring a stack of 60 M856A1 in your secure container, that way you can load up empty mags in a pinch. Worst case, you die and bring that ammo home.

[tepid fossil]

Is this good?

The gun stats

and stuff

[icy summit]

poor ammo choice

[tepid fossil]

i'll buy the rig and armor now

Wait

woops forgot to swap that out

[left oxide]

Yeah you're fine. That's all you need to do at that level. Slap a sight on it and call it good. But you have a bad round in your chamber.

[tepid fossil]

I'm using m856A1

[icy summit]

better choice.

[left oxide]

That should be fine.

M856A1/M855A1 for budget ammo, M995 for best in slot.

[icy summit]

I disagree

[left oxide]

But that's nearly 1000 rubles per round

[tepid fossil]

wait i'm using it @left oxide but it shows it as m855

for some reason

[icy summit]

Both A1s are very good rounds.

[left oxide]

What do you recommend @icy summit

[icy summit]

I wouldn't call A1s budget.

and i think M995 is very overpriced.

[stone surge]

m855a1 or m995

m856a1 kinda sucks honestly and is tracer on top of it

and more expensive too

[left oxide]

Well sure that's fair, but you're kind of shooting yourself in the foot if you buy M855

[icy summit]

Tracer is a minus.

[stone surge]

penetration is another minus

and price is another minus

[tepid fossil]

Oh it's on my chamber

removed it

[icy summit]

855 is kish

FMJ / HP

[stone surge]

m855a1 or break!

[icy summit]

that's some meme ammo

[sweet lantern]

man im so confused on how all of you guys get like 10m-20m to go on all these raids all the time, me and my friend are struggling to make it past 1m then lose it, like how do people get money cuz were struggling super bad to get money

and whenever we die in raids it just drains our money more cuz its like 6k for a car kit

[stone surge]

go scaving for money 😉

[icy summit]

Don't die

xD

• Fill you Alpha with Goodies.

[sweet lantern]

i got a gamma bro

im level 27 and my friend level 25

[icy summit]

even easier.

[sweet lantern]

we cant figure out how this shit works

[stone surge]

jees

[sweet lantern]

like bruh why are we so broke lmfao

[icy summit]

what do you play?

[left oxide]

Just don't spend money on your out of raid heals if you're struggling. Do scav runs after PMCs for free heals.

Will help alleviate a little

[sweet lantern]

we run labs rarely when we got money, factory, shoreline, and sometimes reserves

we have a hard time loading reserves tho

and end up getting destroyed

[left oxide]

There's your problem

Stop spending money on labs

[sweet lantern]

we rarely do it bro

when we do we come out wit good shit tho

[stone surge]

@sweet lantern Interchange is guarenteed money

[tepid fossil]

@left oxide

[stone surge]

if you make it out alive

[left oxide]

I'm saying 0$

[tepid fossil]

Is it this one?

[left oxide]

Don't spend money on labs

[stone surge]

Labs is the worst investment you can make if you're not rich

it's only profitable once you're rich

[sweet lantern]

what map do we go on then?

[stone surge]

Interchange

or shoreline with keys

[ebon cairn]

Looking for people to play with on the Aussie servers, just started but starting to figure my way around Customs and Interchange

[stone surge]

those 2 are no brainers for money

[left oxide]

You should only go to labs if you're experienced enough to go in with a shitty kit and kill raiders and leave with a better kit.

[sweet lantern]

we try shoreline but we just get fucked by 2-3 geared dudes every time

[tepid fossil]

@left oxide is that the correct helm?

[stone surge]

@tepid fossil dont buy that one

[tepid fossil]

Uh

oke

[fallen crane]

play smart on shoreline

[tepid fossil]

What should i get then

[fallen crane]

hold one wing and wait for the geared kids to come over to you

[left oxide]

Get the matte green one

The ratnik

[tepid fossil]

rattnik

ratnikbsh helm

?

[left oxide]

Yep

[tepid fossil]

okay

[stone surge]

I just uploaded my thermal raid in #videos was also shoreline @fallen crane in case you wanna check it out

[left oxide]

[tepid fossil]

What's the highest durab?

[stone surge]

that raid was crazy af

[left oxide]

25

[sand kindle]

can anyone explain why pestily recommends 6b23-1 body armour over 6b3TM (tac rig) when the tac rig is class 4 and the body armour is class 3? both from ragman lvl 2

[fallen crane]

[tepid fossil]

Gotcha thanks

[stone surge]

[tepid fossil]

6B13 armoR

@stone surge

there were 3 types

like colors

[fickle kettle]

[stone surge]

@tepid fossil 6b13 killa armor is good

but the other one not really

[tepid fossil]

Gotcha

i'll get 6b13 killa

[stone surge]

killa armor is 250k+ though

kinda overpriced for a normal run

[left oxide]

Don't buy the killa armor.

[stone surge]

@tepid fossil Stick with 6b3tm armor

[left oxide]

I'm saying dude, just buy the classic 6B13 it's good budget armor.

[stone surge]

it's 47k for tier 4 titan armor + rig

[tepid fossil]

yeah

[stone surge]

it's the best deal you can get

for budget loadout

[tepid fossil]

gonna hop on with 200k budget because i only have 800k and i'm level 7

with a trio of course

[stone surge]

6b3tm wont let you down 🙂
