[finite pawn]

Thanks

[frigid glen]

Hi, I am new to the game and looking for a sherpa to show me the ropes as I am very overwhelmed with the game so far

I'm based in Australia if that helps

[steady cedar]

Hey guys, new player. Looking to learn customs and willing to learn

[dense ibex]

Yo guys, bit of a weird question. But is there any way i can upgrade my version of the game? Instead of making a new account and buying the game again

[rain oar]

Just go the store? It should be an option there.

[hearty tide]

you log in on the website and do it

[mighty mica]

new player here, looking for someone to do a customs run with me to help learn the game a bit

[terse narwhal]

Ask a sherpa or go to #pvp-lfg

[frigid glen]

I cant find looking for group channel

[terse narwhal]

Gotta go to rules and setup channel

[vernal pumice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klsP3JwSKMI
At 1:30, this streamer searches pockets and vest without clicking on the search button or waiting for one of them to finish. What hotkey did he use?

[terse narwhal]

Do the things there and the you’ll see

[alpine trout]

@vernal pumice You can just click the "Searching" area to search, no need to click the lil button

idk about searching two things at once

[terse narwhal]

@vernal pumice middle mouse button

[vernal pumice]

Okay, I didn't know that MMB worked in that space. Thank you

[alpine trout]

I don't think it does

just left click

lol

[terse narwhal]

Examine works like that I thought searching works like that too. If not then nvm

[honest oar]

It does, mmb is default search

[alpine trout]

???

middle mouse works for examining items

but it never worked for searching things for me?

[honest oar]

Mmb the area

It searchs/examines. Same as pressing the button

[chilly bane]

How do i fit this on ?

[terse narwhal]

Need a rail mount I think.

[chilly bane]

any idea which?

[lyric storm]

You need to replace the dust cover

[terse narwhal]

None. I use 3 guns.

[lyric storm]

Go to the flea market

[rocky ocean]

Put stuff in the backpack + rig

[lyric storm]

Find one that has a pictanny rail

[chilly bane]

@lyric storm pictanny rail? lolwut

[icy summit]

yeah, Pictanny standard rai

rail

[chilly bane]

how do i find it on the market?

[icy summit]

The one you are looking for for FN fal

[lyric storm]

Right click your gun

[chilly bane]

i did

[lyric storm]

Press linked search

[icy summit]

should be teh Heavy duty Dust Cover

[chilly bane]

this?

[lyric storm]

Yea

[lyric storm]

Press the small down arrow

Go to dust covers

[icy summit]

that's what you need

[lyric storm]

Should be there

[chilly bane]

yeah i cant find it lol

[tribal cove]

I want an upgrade from the mosin. Sv 98 or m700?

Is there any way to put the mosin kochetov scope on a rail?

[mint hawk]

@tribal cove sv is heavy and drains stamina fast but uses same ammo. M700 is a good gun to use.

@tribal cove eww.. But don't think so

[chilly bane]

ok

now what

nvm

put the wrong 1 back on xD

[tribal cove]

@mint hawkok. I like the mosin scope bcs it has a small sight picture and lets me see around me while zooming in exactly how much I need

Is there any scope that does that?

[alpine trout]

What's a good pistol for super cheap pmc runs

pistol/rounds

[honest oar]

@chilly bane just focus on getting tasks done and getting lvl 5 so you get the preset options from hideout and flea market. Entirely different game

[alpine trout]

@chilly bane Lose the PACA, it's trash

lol

[chilly bane]

paca?

[alpine trout]

the body armour in that screenshot

[brave junco]

whats the first thing we should be doing as a new player? is this entirely a FFA game?

[chilly bane]

ohh

well its cheap

[brave junco]

whats the objective besides excaping?

[alpine trout]

It's as good as no armour though

imo

[chilly bane]

lol

[honest oar]

Positioning is 100xbetter than armor you can wear learn to fight naked and you’ll get good with peeking. The paca is basically only going to stop scav postol rounds.

[languid flare]

If even

[hearty sky]

i am trying to figure out armors in the game. So if you have armor that cover hands thorax and stomach they need to hit those 3 areas to destroy the armor to 0 or you just have to hit anywhere in the armor to destroy it?

[honest oar]

Also. Make sure you use vendors https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/656793091830710274/657511360845971456/7fa7bfcd90ffdc677a04bfccf95d2d63.png

[languid flare]

@honest oar What about boxes of ammo. Noone but Fence buys the boxes themself

[brave junco]

how are you supposed to get items? whats the objective? i cant find hardly any descriptions of objectives or game guides. the wiki is completely useless besides item descriptions, and the game itself just drops you off without any direction

pretty frustrated tbh

[languid flare]

@brave junco Loot and shoot

Thats it

[honest oar]

You need to unpack the ammo

[languid flare]

@honest oar I know. But the paper boxes

[hearty sky]

@brave junco i find youtube very useful

[honest oar]

Destroy the box

After empty

[languid flare]

Such a waste

Never heard of recycling? 😦

[honest oar]

Ha

Something that is helped me is rebinding my discard key to u

It makes a lot of things super easy

[blazing oar]

how do i get a sight on my mosin

?

[honest oar]

Right click on mosin. Filter by linked. Look at mounts

[blazing oar]

linked search?

[honest oar]

Are you 5

[blazing oar]

doesnt say "filter by linked"

[mint hawk]

@blazing oar kochetov

[honest oar]

I’m not online it’s a linked search I believe

[blazing oar]

yeah thats what i said

[honest oar]

There isn’t searching options when you right click the gun?

[lyric storm]

It's called linked search

[frigid glen]

whats the best way to go about getting a sherper?

[brave sinew]

When i'm lvl 1, should i start to do tasks of sellers ? Or i cant

[amber saffron]

send them a request @frigid glen

@brave sinew first examine everything, learn the maps, get to level 5

[alpine trout]

Is this any body armour?

[amber saffron]

@blazing oar you can put a mount for PU on it, or you can use a tri-rail for a different variety of sights. but if you’re a lower level i’d go for a PU

@alpine trout no

it’s uhh, i forgot

[honest oar]

I think the white vests

[frigid glen]

@amber saffron on disc?

[amber saffron]

no, there’s a link to it on the site

[frigid glen]

true

[languid flare]

@alpine trout Its a special one

The white worthless one

[alpine trout]

Damn where do I get those

lol

[languid flare]

For a pic look at wiki

[amber saffron]

just buy them @alpine trout

[alpine trout]

I sold a few of those :^(

[brave sinew]

@amber saffron I've to raid and xp to lvl 5 before starting tasks ? Cool, i love the stress of this game

[alpine trout]

they're like 50k each lmao

[languid flare]

me too xD

@brave sinew Nah, you dont

Just lvl 5 is flea market

[honest oar]

Anything that isn’t collect in raid, just buy it.

[languid flare]

You can do quests before

[blissful hare]

Can someone help me with Stirrup Task, it's so hard mid wipe.

[karmic matrix]

anyone want to help total noob?

[amber saffron]

it’s easy af

i can do with you @blissful hare

#pvp-lfg

[sturdy badge]

Buy a 5.7, use SB193 and go factory wih a face shield and dcent armor

factory is full with noobs currently

ez quest

[blissful hare]

don't know what those are but I'ma buy them

[brave sinew]

@languid flare So what's the point of waiting for lvl 5 ? 🙂 ive found a winston cigaretts, if ive well read the wiki ive to keep it no ?

[languid flare]

'full of noobs'

Only gets shafted

[sturdy badge]

5.7 is th best pistol ingame

SB193 can pen T4

[languid flare]

@brave sinew Lvl 5 unlocks the flea market, auction house if you will.

[honest oar]

I wouldn’t risk anything but a pistol until you know the map call outs and can recognize instantly where you are when you spawn in. Imo

[blissful hare]

I was trying ABS which seems bad. and TT

[languid flare]

And keeping the cigs... if you got the space, sure

[sturdy badge]

Every pistol except the 5.7 is pretty bad

srimp is meh

[blissful hare]

yea they feel bad

I use my whole clip and they just look at me sideways

[sturdy badge]

5.7 is like an accurate srimp

[blissful hare]

I did get 2 of them one was very cheesey

[sturdy badge]

but SB193 is sub sonic so very slow

keep that in mind

[brave sinew]

@languid flare in the begining i dont have up my shelter, and dont do any quest. im ok on customs and interchange, but i dont understand all the actions i have to do otherwise

[blissful hare]

sb193 a little expensive

[languid flare]

You have a base stash. Again, if you have space, why not?
And I try to do the quests, but uhhh

Iam not lucky

[blissful hare]

good thing I got mills

[languid flare]

Besides that. Loot and shoot. Have fun

[alpine trout]

buy those mp-133s you need @languid flare

lol

oh you're not level 5 yet right

[languid flare]

I am

[honest oar]

Bullets are really90% of the gun, check ammo charts every game as a scav to see if you can penetrate or need to leg meta

[languid flare]

But with what money dude?

[alpine trout]

they're cheap af

like 10k each

and will let you finish the quest

[languid flare]

I guess

Not like it helps me get better, xD

[blissful hare]

If you need money just go to interchange like twice

[languid flare]

Need to survive too, dude

[sturdy badge]

interchange scav runs -> 100-500k

every fucking time

[blissful hare]

^

You can gather stuff and leave without even fighting

[alpine trout]

If you know what to loot

[blissful hare]

just loot the secret spots outside

[sturdy badge]

just go oli or goshan and get tools

and weapon crates

[languid flare]

With my luck someone else wants to do the same shit and shoots me

👌

[blissful hare]

just find someone to go with you

[sturdy badge]

Well if you die try again

Not that busy in OLI and goshan after pscavs spawn

[alpine trout]

20 minutes later :^)

[sturdy badge]

If you go as PMC early you will meet players

[icy summit]

APB is a 3rd Best Pistol in game.

[honest oar]

Learning how to match scav walk and movement is essential. Get good with it and you can make some snarky moves

[sturdy badge]

5.7 is best, glock with stock is decent, m9 sounds like sex

[icy summit]

M9 and G17 dosen't have nothing on the actuall good oens.

[sturdy badge]

But the sound

Worrun went labs with G18 and shredded raider legs

Worked pretty well

[icy summit]

G18 =/= G17

Totally diffirent

[honest oar]

I use apb or glock depending on objective personally. 5.7 is prob the best pistol but silenced weapons can be magical 😉

[sturdy badge]

I never talked about the G17

You did

[icy summit]

oh you refered to G18

as a Glock

[languid flare]

5/7 is best by default of ammo

[honest oar]

Glock 18 is a beast with minimal mods

[icy summit]

sorry.

[blazing oar]

i have to unlock weapon modding in the hide out?

[icy summit]

Workbench lvl1

[languid flare]

Yes

[blazing oar]

what do i purchase to unlock it?

[amber saffron]

it’s super cheap, but the shit from flea

[icy summit]

Workbench lvl1

[amber saffron]

click on it it will tell you

[icy summit]

@blazing oar

[sturdy badge]

Aparrently RIP ammo does shred raiders well

[icy summit]

yeap.

Anyone.

just legg them

[honest oar]

It’s leg or flesh

[worldly frost]

Any sherpas want to run with me EU?

[icy summit]

how many shots is it to kill with that?

5?

6?

[sturdy badge]

Ye he went for legs ofc

[honest oar]

There’s a chart, I’m not at pc but I wanna say like 5

[icy summit]

[spark marsh]

rock passage on shoreline, it requries icepick doesnt it?

[honest oar]

Paracord as well I believe

[night mural]

Rock passage? no

Not unless it got changed in the last day and i didn't see

[honest oar]

You talking north evac on reserve?

[night mural]

Its conditional but requires nothing

[spark marsh]

shoreline

[night mural]

Rock passage is shoreline no?

yeah

[honest oar]

O

[night mural]

It doesn't require anything

but it isn't always open

[spark marsh]

I thought so, Im building a few guides for new players, I couldnt rememeber if it needed it or not

[night mural]

Only 2 extracts need it, cliff descent on woods and on reserve

[spark marsh]

yeah i thought so, rock passage was the only one i wasnt sure of, since i never use it anyway 😛

thank you sirs

[sturdy badge]

only woods and reserve needs RR

[blissful hare]

@amber saffron I'm down for the help

[dapper marsh]

Is there a map that is good for finding Salewa Kits?

[fickle kettle]

@dapper marsh alots

[amber saffron]

yeah

but you can buy them if this is for the therapist quest

[dapper marsh]

Buying them from the market counts as finding them?

[trim herald]

They aren't find in raid so you can buy them yes

[fickle kettle]

if it not said "find in raid" yes

[sturdy badge]

shoreline is decent for salewas but any duffle can spawn them

[trim herald]

Otherwise Mantis on Interchange is pretty good, there are some med rooms in resort on Shoreline that are good, also scav island on Shoreline has a couple of med bags

[dapper marsh]

That makes things easier

[waxen forge]

Interchange..Manits. Red/blue colored med station near techlight. Then the other med store 2nd floor on the Idea side.

[trim herald]

And the store opposite to Techlight has a med spawn

[blazing oar]

why wont it load

do i need a mag?

[sturdy badge]

you need to get the mag out of the gun

[languid flare]

Inspect it

[sturdy badge]

it has 0/5

[languid flare]

Has an internal mag

[sturdy badge]

cant reload a mag if its in the gun

[languid flare]

Well

One by one

In theory

But menu stuff is weird sometimes

Had the same issue first time using mosin too xD

[blazing oar]

wtf do i do

[waxen forge]

Double click the Mosin to open inspect window

[fickle kettle]

Put the bullet in your pocket or rig

[blazing oar]

i see i got it now

[fickle kettle]

And press r

[waxen forge]

Then there will be little boxes at the bottom. Drag the little black bit off. It's kinda triangular. Drag it to stash and drag the ammo to it.

[blazing oar]

gotcha

[languid flare]

And yeah, if its ingame, just rig or pockets then R

[blazing oar]

so when i need a reload will it just feed into the mag

[languid flare]

Yep

[blazing oar]

or will i only had 5 bullets

ok

dope

thanks

[languid flare]

Its 5/6 max

[waxen forge]

Now in raid it will load through the breach

[languid flare]

One in the chamber counts

[west peak]

@waxen forge what was that ! something to get first timer help

[waxen forge]

?

You mean #sherpa-info

[west peak]

i saw last night some one posted

[waxen forge]

To get the sherpa request link

[west peak]

yeah and after there was something like !spare or something

[waxen forge]

! sherpa will bring up the same info in the #sherpa-info section

[west peak]

oh right

:X

[frosty crown]

bruh i feel so bad killing all these new players 😦

[languid flare]

Then dont

[fickle kettle]

It them or you

Make a choice

[frosty crown]

cant know what lvl they are until i kill them lol

[mint hawk]

I yelled at a pistolling to stop but they just turned and started shooting at me.. They gave me no choice 😢

[languid flare]

Was it as an USEC at least?

[fickle kettle]

always shoot first ask later

[mint hawk]

Yeah he had that camo green shirt

[languid flare]

@mint hawk I meant you, lol

[mint hawk]

Like lvl 4

[languid flare]

But if someone would shout at me I'd probably not shoot.
At that point i'd be dead anyway

[mint hawk]

I'm usec yeah xD

[languid flare]

Not dying gives some trust xD

[craggy valley]

Anyone can help me complete skiers quest called the Extortionist?

[languid flare]

@craggy valley #pvp-lfg

[fading kiln]

im the only one who cant find fuel anywhere? or there is not many on customs or factory?

[languid flare]

Random like everything

[fading kiln]

yeah but i always get fooled by the fuel tanks thats just part of the map x3

[bold kernel]

oli has plenty of fuel spawns... tool locations are the place to go

[glad apex]

labs has a shit ton

[languid flare]

Hah

[glad apex]

reserve has alot too

in the garages

[mystic tinsel]

any budget svd build for custom?

or svd is not good at all?

[bronze ice]

Svd is pretty ridiculous, but no budget

I mean, it's a semi auto mosin

[honest tusk]

Better with a vepr or smthing than a svd for budget

[bold kernel]

yo, how would one get a map?

[honest tusk]

Dont need one

Use the wiki

[bronze ice]

[mystic tinsel]

svd that expensive ha?

hmm

[bronze ice]

50-60k

[mystic tinsel]

i am okay with 50-60k

i've made same money 🙂

[tepid fossil]

You can turn an adar to a full auto?!

[bronze ice]

Don't think so

That's the main difference between the m4 and adar

the receiver

[rocky ocean]

Adar only single fire

[tepid fossil]

ohh

[honest tusk]

The recoil is low so u can really just spam it

[tribal cove]

Can I improve the recoil?

Is there a difference if I put the sight on the other slot?

[honest tusk]

I think it moves where it is

Closer to the stock

[rocky ocean]

I would put it backside

[honest tusk]

Yeah rather than above the foregrip

[rocky ocean]

You get better zoom i believe

[tribal cove]

But the only diffecence is on how it looks

Ok

[rocky ocean]

Would be worth checking actually

[tribal cove]

Can the recoil be improved?

I'll check rn

[fickle kettle]

I think a AK 74u

That pretty ok

[bronze ice]

Yeah, you can get a better foregrip

[fickle kettle]

But still becareful of the kick on the first shot

[tribal cove]

Yea tapping it doesnt feel good

@rocky ocean I checked and there is no zoom difference, just how close the sight is

[fickle kettle]

well it is

[still galleon]

guys where can i get Herrings?

i wanted to buy something on the Flea market but the most things i need cost 1 or 2 Herrings

(i am level5)

[icy summit]

Herring is ~22k

don't use barter trades, ever.

they are a scam

99% of the time.

[terse narwhal]

Use roubles never trade item for item

[icy summit]

with other players, that is.

[terse narwhal]

Herring can be found pretty much where you’d expect food to be. Interchange can get it in the Idea Kitchen/dining area. You’ll really just walk into food during runs or on scavs

[still galleon]

but there are no rouble offers for items i need

[terse narwhal]

Food is pretty profitable

Have you disabled the item exchange option in the settings on flea market

[still galleon]

no

[terse narwhal]

Do that and roubles will only show up

[still galleon]

Im am only finding trash like keys thats why i need to buy everything

why are there so many keys in this game

[terse narwhal]

Cause doors are locked and have different keys

[still galleon]

some of them even have use limit like 50/50

[white horizon]

does anyone have advice for players who get jumpy/anxious when playing? I love the game, and at times when I feel like i'm doing well. I get too immersed in all the noises that I know I NEED to listen to but at the same time every noises (even my own) has me on edge cause some of the sounds your character makes sounds at times like it's not from you.

[still galleon]

very confusing for me

[upbeat flax]

Legit only one

[terse narwhal]

Cause they are good keys and are profitable

[upbeat flax]

Factory key?

[terse narwhal]

Marked rooms have 25 durability

[still galleon]

yes factory key

found it in dorms on a scav

[upbeat flax]

Factory key is really not worth it

[still galleon]

should i sell it on Flea?

[terse narwhal]

Unless you need to do quests on factory

[upbeat flax]

You can do scout without the key

[chilly bane]

Is it possible to find an item case?

[upbeat flax]

Yes

[chilly bane]

😮

[terse narwhal]

Marked rooms I think

[chilly bane]

Any idea where? lol

[upbeat flax]

Very slim chance in marked

[terse narwhal]

Labs could have em idk tho

[still galleon]

other question is the key card for labs worth selling or using for a noob?

[chilly bane]

What is a marked room? sorry im dumb at this game

[terse narwhal]

Use it on offline to learn the map

[tribal cove]

Marked key opens the shortcut on customs and the satanic ritual room in dorms?

[upbeat flax]

Marker, RB-BK and RB-VO

@tribal cove only marked room

[terse narwhal]

Sell it if you want or just use it but don’t expect to live

[chilly bane]

hmm

[tribal cove]

Ok

[ionic marsh]

whats a good beginner weapon to get?

[chilly bane]

How much do item cases go for right now? if I wanna buy one

[ionic marsh]

this AK74U has served me well but it doesnt pack a punch

[terse narwhal]

@ionic marsh mosin,sks,Hunter cheap weapons for me

[still galleon]

one more question probably stupid but are these golden coins worth something i found yesterday one on customs (not bitcoins)

[worldly rivet]

GP coins

[still galleon]

yes

[terse narwhal]

For trader exchanges

[worldly rivet]

I keep em

But then again I keep everything

[terse narwhal]

Later on you’ll probs want them. Some can be traded for cases

[tribal cove]

Do they fit in money case? Or docs case

[terse narwhal]

Money

[worldly rivet]

Moooni

[still galleon]

i also keep everything because I dont know what is good

[tribal cove]

Money

[terse narwhal]

If you keep gear but don’t use it, just sell it for profit on flea or to traders

[pliant elk]

hello guys, where can I check out meta builds for each patch?

[worldly rivet]

This is a real Chad item case

Is it now

I keep SHIT in it

[upbeat flax]

Not really

[waxen forge]

https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png

[terse narwhal]

Keep a load out that you use all the time so you start to not care about gear

[waxen forge]

Tasks items

All the tech and hardware items on this list are valuable (some more than others)

[still galleon]

how do i know which price is the real one on the flea market, i tried to sell the factory key but the price range is from 50k to 2mil

[waxen forge]

Right click on an items...Filter by item

[worldly rivet]

Bottom price that's not an undercut

[terse narwhal]

@worldly rivet seems like a scav junkbox would be better for you

[waxen forge]

Sort flea lowest price to higher prices.

[worldly rivet]

@terse narwhal I'm wanting one but I have 1.5 mil

If I buy it I'll be broke

I only have 2 sets of gear left

[languid flare]

@waxen forge You see.... a list like that picture with ALL items including Hideout in just a combined list would be neat

[waxen forge]

Lowest price is what you can get. Can post a bit above that but not too much higher or it may not sell.

[terse narwhal]

I’ve done that 2 times

[tepid fossil]

We got killed by a hacker

[terse narwhal]

Use interchange for money and climb back up.

[worldly rivet]

I can't play interchange I suck

[terse narwhal]

If you have no space at all get the junk box

[upbeat flax]

@tepid fossil ?

[worldly rivet]

I play customs and scav factory

Also dude I've got EOD

Plenty of space

[terse narwhal]

Just wait till last 10 minutes as scav and look for bodies

[waxen forge]

Scav on factor......

[terse narwhal]

5 minutes to either extract running

[waxen forge]

Fine if you want pvp

[upbeat flax]

Scav on factory

[waxen forge]

If you want to make $ scav somewhere else

[worldly rivet]

Let me show you scav on factory

[tepid fossil]

The dude was using wall hacks and kept shooting at us using a sniper whilst we were inside dorms

he didn't stop shooting even when we got outside

[upbeat flax]

?

[worldly rivet]

@waxen forge

[tepid fossil]

Yeha

[upbeat flax]

@worldly rivet easier to do that on interchange but ok

[waxen forge]

Not bad

[worldly rivet]

Really?

[waxen forge]

But weapons is not where the $ is at

[terse narwhal]

Interchange more money

[worldly rivet]

I suck on interchange

I got a keycard

That's what I wanted

[upbeat flax]

Then learn

[waxen forge]

Tech items. hardware items

Makes way more $ than guns

[terse narwhal]

Just sit in a shop and go full goblin last 10 minutes

[upbeat flax]

If you're a pussy

[worldly rivet]

Last time I tried scav interchange I got instashot as soon as I walked in

[terse narwhal]

True

[worldly rivet]

By a VSS camper

In the corner

Of the dark room

[waxen forge]

Then you probably walked by Killa

[terse narwhal]

That guy won’t be there next time

[languid flare]

you sure?

[worldly rivet]

Aight ill trust you

[waxen forge]

You don't even need to go into the main mall to make $ on Interchange. Just go to Oli offices and loot PC's

[terse narwhal]

Not unless it’s his duo partner lol

[worldly rivet]

I'll start doing scav interchange then

[upbeat flax]

Killa is ez clap

[languid flare]

Last time I got killed twice by the same guy on two scav custom runs xD

[waxen forge]

Then maybe hit up Olie shelves for hardware....bounce out.

Easy 200K

[upbeat flax]

Depends on bag

[waxen forge]

^

[worldly rivet]

I usually go on factory to kill pmc

[waxen forge]

True

[upbeat flax]

Small bag I go straight to mid

[worldly rivet]

Not to loot or escape with scav loot

[upbeat flax]

Big bag, Oli

[worldly rivet]

No bag?

[waxen forge]

If you spawn with a small bag on Interchange then I'd go look for a bigger one

[upbeat flax]

Mid.

[worldly rivet]

I'll try and show results when I get home

[waxen forge]

But if I need $ I would never run factory with my scav....waste of a scav

[worldly rivet]

If I make money, bless you

[upbeat flax]

Or check out front of oli

[worldly rivet]

I honestly survive 4/5 on factory

As scav

[waxen forge]

But there is no loot there

[upbeat flax]

Found tons of sitting fully gearee corpses there

[worldly rivet]

On pmcs there is

[waxen forge]

Only loot on factory is what is brought in

[worldly rivet]

I usually camp around extractions

[waxen forge]

Then the roll of the dice on if the players brought in gear

[worldly rivet]

Get the kill on the pmcs

[terse narwhal]

Oli - techno - shelves in the store next to it - techlight - anywhere else

[upbeat flax]

Okay

Listen here you little shit

[waxen forge]

Interchange has guaranteed loot spawns

[worldly rivet]

[waxen forge]

Doesn't matter if every PMC is a hatchet...the loot is ON THE MAP

[upbeat flax]

Extract "camping"

[worldly rivet]

I shall interchange

[still galleon]

I play factory all the time because there is close range combat

[waxen forge]

That's fine if you want to shoot stuff

[upbeat flax]

🤡

[worldly rivet]

Extract camping, aka being near an extract waiting for guys more geared than me for a chance to yeet them

[waxen forge]

I'm talking about people who are always broke

[still galleon]

i cant really kill someone on customs with an AK without a scope

[worldly rivet]

I don't camp the office room

I sit in the hallway

[terse narwhal]

Camping extract is frowned upon. But is needed for quests sometimes so 😞

[worldly rivet]

I don't literally sit on the extract bruh

Which is what I've seen people do

On office window

I just hang around the hallway and the bathroom under

Tons of dead bodies

[languid flare]

Office window is just an awkward extract

Whats someone doing in there looting gonna do?

[terse narwhal]

Yeah

[languid flare]

Tip fedora and go away?

[lyric storm]

You camp you go to the gulag camps

[terse narwhal]

They gotta leave sometime

[worldly rivet]

The only time I camped was when a dude was camping the office window

Pmc full gear

I killed him when he opened the door to leave

It was an 8 minute standoff

I had a VEPR with shit ammo

Luckily he was injured

[upbeat flax]

8 minutes is like a whole trip to all the interest points in interchange

You're smoking something

[worldly rivet]

But I got that fat pmc loot

I usually run Scav just so my main char heals anyway

[upbeat flax]

Do I need to tell you each time I found a fully geared player dead in the middle of nowhere and I just loot and scoot?

[mystic tinsel]

if the item is not sold in the given timeframe on the flea market, do u get the fee back?

[upbeat flax]

No

[worldly rivet]

Nope

You also lose interest

Like market proficiency thing

[upbeat flax]

Rep rather

[worldly rivet]

Yeah that

[upbeat flax]

I reached 10 not a long time ago

[mystic tinsel]

do tetriz prices come down?

[worldly rivet]

When do you get the 4th sell slot

[mystic tinsel]

they are hovering around 150k

[upbeat flax]

It's the same price as bitcoins

More usually

[mystic tinsel]

and market cuts around 75k fee

[amber saffron]

they're super common in techlight, interchange

[icy summit]

lol no

[upbeat flax]

Or RB-AK

[worldly rivet]

Or LABS

[icy summit]

mc2, the fee will be like 20k max

[upbeat flax]

Labs????????

[worldly rivet]

I've got a tetriz from labs

[icy summit]

don't get started again.

[worldly rivet]

Same run got a ledx

In the black container thing

In the med room

[upbeat flax]

?

[worldly rivet]

But that was before I reset my account

My friend was touring the labs for me

[mystic tinsel]

@icy summit i'll check again

[worldly rivet]

In the whole med room, theres these little circular black boxes

And LEDX spawns in them

Sometimes

[mystic tinsel]

many btc drops from the event maybe thats why some item prices went down

[upbeat flax]

Those metal cans are not black

[worldly rivet]

Are they not black

Maybe gray

Or maybe it was just dark

[icy summit]

The tetrizes are 1 to 1 to psychical btc

so it should be ~120k

[ionic marsh]

potat

[upbeat flax]

Or like

Check how much they cosy

[icy summit]

120k, exactly.

[ionic marsh]

sherpa show me da way plz 😦

[icy summit]

#521628660298678283 that's a start.

[amber saffron]

Hey so, what all guns can i put a 25mm rings made by UTG on?

[ionic marsh]

what ammo is best for the sks boys

[icy summit]

most of them, actually.

BP

BP.

[ionic marsh]

thanks!

[amber saffron]

was that "most of them" in response to my question?

[icy summit]

tis.

yis.

[amber saffron]

oki thanks!

[icy summit]

it's standard Piccatny RIS

it should work on just about anything.

you need a question with specific gun?

[amber saffron]

nah, just curious

[icy summit]

you can put any sight on just about anything.

[amber saffron]

cause i could not find "compatibility" on the wiki

[icy summit]

with exception of the dovetails

[amber saffron]

i see

thanks

[waxen forge]

Upgrade workbench in Hideout (only needs 2 screws, 2 screw nuts, and Leatherman Multitool [mechanic level 1 for 21k]). Go to flea and examine all weapons and weapon parts. Right click on the weapon you want to mod. EDIT PRESET. Now you have the modding screen with drop down boxes for each part of the weapon. As long as you have examined parts (in flea) you can swap in and out parts as much as you want (don't have to have the parts in inventory). Modding made easy.

[rain oar]

Did someone do a list with what keys are the best for shoreline etc?

[languid flare]

Or be lucky and get a cheaper leatherman from Flea 😄

Also examine Fence if you dont have Flea yet

[bold kernel]

Can you reconnect as a scav?

zzzz

Forgot the W series 😄

[scarlet estuary]

Okay so im at the river on customs

I have a map open

Extract poinmt is Passage between gates

and administration gate

Where are those

[waxen forge]

Passage between rocks?

[scarlet estuary]

Oh yes

[trim herald]

Admin gate is over boiler side, through the scav checkpoint and to the left to the top of the road

(right hand side of map)

[scarlet estuary]

oh I see them on the map

[waxen forge]

https://youtu.be/MymHfkVCHww

[scarlet estuary]

Thats a long way to go and alot of time to die

Oh well, Here goes nothing

[waxen forge]

Ignore the specs stuff.

[scarlet estuary]

Is there a compass in game?

[waxen forge]

No

[trim herald]

Not yet

Soon™️

[ionic marsh]

if someone has a class 3 body armor can the mosin still do decent damage to the thorax?

[trim herald]

It'll ignore class 3

Both LPS and 7N1

[alpine trout]

What armoured rig should I use

as a minimum

[ionic marsh]

figured i need something to use to kill em

[tribal cove]

I feel like I will use all of these, but they take up a lot of space. Should I sell them? If so which are the "worst". Tbh my best runs were when I used mosins

[trim herald]

In that shape, the AK74's, SA and ADAR as they're lacking buttstocks

[tribal cove]

I have them stored in vests above

[trim herald]

Oh, then there are no real weak guns there

SA is garbage with iron sights though

[tribal cove]

Except for the FAL one that I sold thinking if I use it I wil get a better one anyway

[trim herald]

As they blow

[tribal cove]

I just got the fal in the last raid

So do I just keep them?

[trim herald]

If you don't need the space urgently, and if you do just get rid of the guns you like using the least

As they're all decent enough guns

You'll need the mosin for the Tarkov shooter quest series anyway

[glass sundial]

Is there currently a way to refill gas cans?

[tribal cove]

Ok then, I'll keep them

[trim herald]

No Skevich

[amber saffron]

i dont think so @glass sundial

[glass sundial]

well thats a bummer. Thank you.

[scarlet estuary]

Eyyy I did it

First extraction in like 5 months

and probably my third overall

[trim herald]

Well done dude

[amber saffron]

yay 👏 good job!

[lyric storm]

Nice

[scarlet estuary]

Sadly my random teamate died

[amber saffron]

i didn't extract till like my 30th raid, because i always played on my own

but since then i picked up as i started learning the game

[scarlet estuary]

hmm I seem to need to do stuff in teh hideout before I can mod weapons

What do I need to do?

[trim herald]

Workbench lvl 1

[scarlet estuary]

Oof, When you havent ranked up so you can use the flea market

[lyric storm]

Feelsbadman

[odd steppe]

hey
i just got disconnected from the server on my first run, now my stuff is gone and my pmc is heavily hurt
are the servers done or is the problem on my side?

[honest tusk]

Sounds like a server issue

But usually you can just reconnect

[frosty plinth]

You're able to reconnect for...2? minutes* after a dc I believe

[dapper marsh]

what scope can i put on an SKS?

[odd steppe]

i tried and instantly got the message that i got a dc again

the next time i tried i was able to go for a new run but all my stuff was gone and my dude was heavily injured

[tardy fern]

F

[frosty plinth]

Never had that happen to me, but I feel like you got tarkoved

[honest tusk]

Sounds like it

Hope u insured

[frosty plinth]

all you white names go to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup to unlock the server

[odd steppe]

nope

[frosty plinth]

always insure

[honest tusk]

Tup

Yup

[frosty plinth]

no reason not to

[odd steppe]

just took the stuff i got from my first scav run

[frosty plinth]

still insure

[terse narwhal]

Scav stuff is free money to sell or use to protect yourself from scavs in a loot run

[mighty mica]

anyone wanna run customs?

[terse narwhal]

#pvp-lfg ask here if you need to

[lyric storm]

I can run with newbies for a while after I get home

[scarlet estuary]

If you accept going with a beginner id be down

[pliant elk]

So to farm money you want to use your scav and go to interchange, if you have a big backpack run to oli and loot shelfes and office room pc's. If you have a small back go straight for the middle a sherpa said in here

[lyric storm]

I don't mind lul

[pliant elk]

what is the middle?

[chilly bane]

Can someone tell me which of theese supressors are better for this AK ?

[lyric storm]

Middle?

[odd steppe]

got a dc again

[trim herald]

Honestly Kellz, I'd recommend hidden caches on Shoreline

[odd steppe]

in a scav run

[lyric storm]

Reconnect

[trim herald]

Safer and more reliable than Interchange

https://imgur.com/gallery/u861meP

[pliant elk]

are the spawns on the tarkov wiki?

[trim herald]

Less profit/min potential, but way safer

[chilly bane]

Which supressor is better?

[trim herald]

Put them on and check the stats 😄

Or double click the suppressor

And check the stats

[scarlet estuary]

To complete tasks do you need to use your character?

[lyric storm]

Yes

[lyric storm]

Scavs don't count

[chilly bane]

Wtf is erganomics

[lyric storm]

It's affects your aiming stability and ads

[terse narwhal]

Not finding items tho scav can do that too

[lyric storm]

And also reload

[chilly bane]

ohh

[trim herald]

It's how fast you ADS basically, higher the value the faster the ADS

[chilly bane]

gotcha

[pliant elk]

rommel this map has a terrible res

cannot zoom in

[trim herald]

Did you click the imgur link?

[icy summit]

Open Orginal.

[pliant elk]

ty!

[icy summit]

it's very high res actually

[trim herald]

As the imgur link also has up close pictures showing what each individual cache looks like and how it's hidden

[icy summit]

Ey, Money

[trim herald]

Which is actually pretty handy for some of them

[icy summit]

have this style map for Forest/ Customs?

[trim herald]

Got a similar one for customs, sec

[icy summit]

naah

[icy summit]

the one with exact locaation and type of stashes.

[trim herald]

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/dtk3ev/customs_hidden_stashes_map_version_3/

[icy summit]

we all ee this one

[terse narwhal]

Just these maps I have sry

[crisp basalt]

any reason to keep DogTags super early game?

[terse narwhal]

Vanity items

[icy summit]

trades.

[terse narwhal]

Gloat over your first 100 kills and put em in a dogtag case

[trim herald]

Until ragman 4 you are better of selling the tags honestly

[lyric storm]

Sell em

But also keep em to remind yourself how much of a god gamer you are

[terse narwhal]

^

100%

[pliant elk]

what do you find in those stashes rommel?

[terse narwhal]

Really anything

[trim herald]

Essentially anything in the game

[frosty plinth]

I have started a second dog tag case because I haven't done anything with mine yet lol

[trim herald]

Lots of barter goods usually though

[pliant elk]

i thought hardware is how to make money

[trim herald]

Loads of hideout upgrades but you can find guns fairly often too

Keys, high value items, basically anything but containers or armour I think

[tardy fern]

Can someone run me through interchange? The maps ive found dont show the exfils and I've never played the map before.

[trim herald]

At lest I've never seen either

least*

!wiki interchange

Interchange is a location in Escape from Tarkov. It is the fifth location that was added to the game.

[tardy fern]

Thanks

[pliant elk]

alright thanks, so you basically just follow those pink arrowes around the map

[trim herald]

No, pink arrows are spawns

[tardy fern]

Oh okay cool. thanks dude. Also, do you lose everything after a wipe? and how often are wipes?

[trim herald]

Every 4-6 months usually, everyone's characters are deleted

[odd steppe]

guys where is the trailerpark workers shack on customs?

[pliant elk]

Am I blind or are the hidden caches not in this map

[trim herald]

@pliant elk If you use the map Money time linked you'll have a bad time as it does not have caches on it

[tardy fern]

Sheesh. I bought the big boy edition so will i start with any gear at all?

[lyric storm]

How do I say it

[pliant elk]

i got the imgur link open

[lyric storm]

@odd steppe it's behind the red barn

[trim herald]

@tardy fern Since the character is deleted when you create a new character you'll start with the same stuff you started with this time

[lyric storm]

If you even know where that is lul

[tardy fern]

@trim herald Okay cool. thanks for the info!

[trim herald]

@pliant elk The imgur link has 37 numbers in yellow on it

Those are the caches

[amber saffron]

i wish quests dont reset after a wipe

[pliant elk]

yea I just tought they would be in the map aswell

[amber saffron]

im putting so much effort in doing them 😩

[lyric storm]

Don't worry

If you have to do it, everyone else has to

What task are you stuck with

[pliant elk]

when do you want to use ergo builds and when recoil builds?

[odd steppe]

the workers shack is not the trailer park exit isnt it?

[lyric storm]

CQB for ergo

[odd steppe]

found it

[amber saffron]

@lyric storm not stuck with anything, just putting so much effort into it, im doing quests all day to get xp so i can level up traders and stuff

[lyric storm]

@odd steppe it's near it

[glad apex]

@odd steppe the trailer park exfil is the patch of grass near it

[lyric storm]

Trailer park is like the corner of the map

The task is like a dirt road across the extract

[chilly bane]

Where do I find a bronze pocket watch?

[trim herald]

@pliant elk Depends on the gun and your preference

[amber saffron]

@chilly bane check the wiki, its in the middle of customs

[trim herald]

Some guns are high in ergo base anyway, if you use a canted optic you don't care about ergo etc

[chilly bane]

lol

[amber saffron]

the wiki will give you the exact location and stuff

[chilly bane]

idk how to wiki

[amber saffron]

just google eft wiki

!wiki quests

[broken quail]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Quests

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Quests

Quests, both player-given and dynamically generated, are intended to be a big part of Escape from Tarkov.
There are many quests in Escape from Tarkov. Some require you to pick stuff up for certain traders, while others require you to kill other operators or mark vehicles and specific places.
Quests are the fastest way of gaining XP in Escape from Tarkov. Completing one will often reward you with thousands, if not tens of thousands of XP points.
On top of the experience, quests reward you with:

Trader Reputation. By gaining trader reputation you unlock new trader loyalty levels. Each time you unlock a new loyalty level you will be able to purchase a large number of new items from that trader.
Quest locked items. Some items can only be purchased from a trader after you complete their relevant quest.

[tribal cove]

I spawned as scav with m855 and headshoted a goon on customs like 5 times and then I get 1 tapped by him...

[chilly bane]

well thanks for that lol

[tribal cove]

First time meeting a boss didnt go so well

[chilly bane]

and what about salewa kits? where do i get them

[marsh oyster]

anywhere in the map

[trim herald]

Fleamarket

[sweet lantern]

level 2 medical thing in your hideout can make them

[marsh oyster]

more on Medical loot

[chilly bane]

hmm ok lol

[tardy fern]

I just spawned with two keys, san 323 and san 220. are they worth anything?

[sweet lantern]

if there san keys yes

[trim herald]

west 220?

[marsh oyster]

San 220 is about 200k

[tardy fern]

sheesh

[trim herald]

Or east 220?

[tribal cove]

Ummm. This was one guy...

[trim herald]

Apparently there's only west, it's about 400k

[tribal cove]

A boss guard

[sweet lantern]

welcome to tarkov

[trim herald]

For san220

San323 is 70k on Flea but I don't think it actually opens anything

So it's a scam

[chilly bane]

anyone wanna help me make some money? lol

[crisp basalt]

Early game, Sell or Keep Siaga?

my thoughts, i could use for aggressive XP run in Factory

[tribal cove]

Saiga 12g or 9?

[crisp basalt]

9

[trim herald]

ugh

[tribal cove]

Sell

Automatic water gun

[crisp basalt]

THX 😄

[rocky ocean]

Saiga 9mm worst gun in the game? 🤔

[tribal cove]

I dont like the toz also, but some can use it fine

[rocky ocean]

Compared to the alternatives for it

Was toz using shotgun ammo?

[tribal cove]

Yea

The crappy one

[rocky ocean]

Always sold it^^ straight away because im not a fan of shotguns

But i saw that they can be very devastating even on mid ranges

[tribal cove]

Yup, they are useful on factory

[frosty plinth]

I can't stand the 205

that shitty 366 sniper

[tribal cove]

Yup. Never liked anything with .366

[scarlet estuary]

its cheap

And thats what I like

EVen though you can get an sks for 20k

[marsh oyster]

look at it as a cheap sniper to run

[tribal cove]

I would get a mosin for a cheap sniper run

With scope

[marsh oyster]

Sv-98 is cheaper

[tribal cove]

Than mosin?

[marsh oyster]

Yea lol

[tired heart]

Can the rip slug one shot someone?

[tribal cove]

Wow. Didnt know that

[marsh oyster]

its 28k on the flea market

[tired heart]

In the legs

[marsh oyster]

a mosin from proper cost about 48k

[tired heart]

That’s kinda expensive

[tribal cove]

25k from flea

[tired heart]

Ah ok

[humble thorn]

Is this a rare key? I only see on on the FM

[tired heart]

Imagin selling shit on flea for less then the venders

See how much it’s worth on flea

[frosty plinth]

@humble thorn should be worth a bit, did you check the price?

[humble thorn]

850k is it for reserve?

[bold kernel]

yes

[frosty plinth]

ya

[pliant elk]

When was the last character reset and when will be the next?

[tribal cove]

@humble thorn you can check prices on flea on eft-loot.com

[bold kernel]

https://eft-loot.com/ If you wanna check prices in game

Ah wazie was faster ^^

[trim herald]

They've said March but it could very well be later than that

[humble thorn]

ohh thats new. ty

[amber saffron]

whats the difference between the lab key cards btw?

[tribal cove]

:)

[trim herald]

@tired heart RIP cannot oneshot in the legs. You still need to do 425dmg to kill someone with limb shots and RIP cannot fragment. It's an awful round honestly

[bold kernel]

Prices arent always super accurate but they give you a good idea of what it's worth

[tribal cove]

Even a price per slot which is useful to sort loot, but never got too much loot yet

[lyric storm]

Bruh

[hearty sky]

if i have a map in my inventory i can choose spawn point on map or that does not work anymore?

[glad apex]

@hearty sky old feature mate, they took it out for obvious reasons

[hearty sky]

so why the item is still present

?

[royal wind]

It still shows you the extracts. Mainly to help out new players.

[lapis topaz]

Whats the best way to find out currency rates?

[royal wind]

What chu mean?

They dont fluctuate, and you cant sell dollars/euros anymore.

[lapis topaz]

ah okay, got it

[royal wind]

Peacekeeper sells a lot of things for dollars.

[waxen forge]

Can buy dollars from Peacekeeper. Euro from Skier.

[royal wind]

Mechanic uses Euros, but not much of what he sells honestly requires them.

Euros kinda suck.

[waxen forge]

Therapist sells iCase for Euro

[glad apex]

you need euros for a quest too

best start saving

[trim herald]

Only 50k euros

[glad apex]

lol

thats like 5 mil

[rocky ocean]

is it worth to switch the currency?

[glad apex]

hell no

only if you need it for the quest

[waxen forge]

Just leave the us $ and Euro you have

No need to convert them to anything

[bronze ice]

Would anyone be interested in a greedy mcGreedy gear guide?

[lapis topaz]

Just discovered you can fold the buttstocks on some firearms in stash.. more space!

[waxen forge]

Take mag out..and pistol grip off of many weapons and it becomes 1 slot wide

[glad apex]

good stuff man!

[lapis topaz]

Take mag out..and pistol grip off of many weapons and it becomes 1 slot wide
@waxen forge Good point!

[prime ermine]

Dollars are useful pk is good later

[odd steppe]

where is the dorms exit?
it is displayed in double o as exit but i cant take the gate

[plucky reef]

u need to pay to exit there if pmc

[sour plume]

You can't drop secure containers in raid right?

[glad apex]

nope

@odd steppe

[icy wyvern]

would like to buy a machinery key from someone

[glad apex]

Flea market mate

[tribal cove]

Best map for sniping?

[glad apex]

woods

or reserve

[hard rain]

or you can just go find it, its easy to find and has a high spawn chance

if not guaranteed

[bronze ice]

@tribal cove Why do you want to snipe?

How will you loot

[glad apex]

that fucking picture 😂

[bronze ice]

[rocky ocean]

what does security do for the hideout? o.O

[split vapor]

the dead people that he sniped

[bronze ice]

It's required for other parts

[trim herald]

It allows you to upgrade other things

[atomic jewel]

@rocky ocean It's just a stepping stone upgrade to enable other upgrades

[rocky ocean]

ok thanks!

i just realized i can upgrade the hideout i though everything is unlocked and i have to build the stash first

[atomic jewel]

@rocky ocean The two stations which directly require security upgraded are the generator and intelligence centre (although other stations will in turn require them to be upgraded)
