beginners-assistance

[atomic knoll]

close to lvl 4

So yes, examine everything

[fickle kettle]

for a mosin iron sight is good eough

cause if you wanted to use a red dot on it

you have to put on a mount which will lower your ego even more and plus the zeroing too

[molten salmon]

yo what map should i start on yall. i was playing customs and factory and i keep frickin dying

[atomic knoll]

Your goal?

[molten salmon]

to extract and get loot i guess

[atomic knoll]

interchange/shoreline

[molten salmon]

kk

[fickle kettle]

umm dont advice them play shoreline

they are new so dont try shoreline

[mystic pasture]

Interchange on scav for money runs through stashes
Customs on PMC to learn the map and smash out the early quests

You're gonna die on all the maps regardless until you learn them

Might as well learn the early quest one and the money one

[atomic knoll]

Shoreline is great because it's big enough that you rarely meet people as long as you don't go to the resort

[next lichen]

would you recommend to just run a couple runs with little to no gear on customs to learn it up?

[mystic pasture]

Do a couple offline if you wanna do that

you wont lose anything you use in offline

even if you die

[next lichen]

ye but i'd like the chance to progress

[mystic pasture]

Then yeah you can do that

Pistol run it, try to kill a couple of scavs for xp

[next lichen]

also how does scav ai work when i spawn as a scav

[atomic knoll]

They won't attack you

[mystic pasture]

Scav AI wont shoot you, unless you shoot them

[atomic knoll]

Unless you attack them or another player scav

[next lichen]

do i not get shot until i attack players?

[mystic pasture]

You can kill player pmcs

and they wont shoot you

They only shoot you if you shoot other scavs

[atomic knoll]

In fact, the scavs will shoot the PMCs too

To "assist" you

[mystic pasture]

Yup

[next lichen]

that's pretty sweet.

[mystic pasture]

But

other pscavs can and WILL shoot you

even as a pscav yourself

[atomic knoll]

Yeah. They are great when you are a pscavs as other pscavs will have lesser chance of shooting you. They also act as a "lookout" for you against PMCs

While you loot

[sour plume]

is it still worth running labs without any of the colored keycards?

[mystic pasture]

yeah

killing raiders is profitable

and killing other players

Id go in offline and learn the map and extracts first tho

there's also high value loot that spawns outside of the keycard rooms

[pliant plank]

lol i was party leader and tried to pull my friend and i out of game queue and he ended up in a game after

[mystic pasture]

You both have to leave

you don't pull people out of the queue as leader

[pliant plank]

oof

thats wack

[bold kernel]

how do i avoid run through status with scav

do i need to like kill someone

[mystic pasture]

You need to earn enough xp to not get a run through

[fickle kettle]

does it matter ?

[mystic pasture]

just over 300xp

[bold kernel]

yeah

but

[fair zephyr]

can i buy fuel for generator?

[mystic pasture]

and also on scav it doesnt matter

[fair zephyr]

is it one of the canisters

[bold kernel]

well i cant match with scav now for 17mins

so it sucks

[mystic pasture]

Thats not cos of run through

[bold kernel]

really

[mystic pasture]

scav has a 20 min timer

[bold kernel]

always?

[mystic pasture]

You can decrease it in the hideout

but it always has a timer

[bold kernel]

what does hideout do

[fickle kettle]

intel center

[sour plume]

a lot

[bold kernel]

explain it to me like i am idiot

[fickle kettle]

you can reduce to 12 min at the max level

[mystic pasture]

The hideout is an area you can upgrade different parts of to get benefits

Workbench so you can craft items

med station so your pmc passively heals faster

etc

[bold kernel]

cool

how to upgrade these things then?

i have collected a lot of junk nows

[mystic pasture]

Click hideout in the menu

and click on the stuff

it'll tell you what you need

[bold kernel]

okay cool

okay

well

lavatory

what do i benefit from taking a dump

[mystic pasture]

Thats another crafting place

[fickle kettle]

you can craft mag case while taking a dump

[bold kernel]

i can craft different shape and texture dumps?

[mystic pasture]

and its like a mobile game hub world, somethings you need to upgrade just to upgrade other things

[next lichen]

i managed to escape with a lot more than just the fal

[bold kernel]

okay cool

[next lichen]

didnt know which way i was going, but i just walked left along a wall, made it to the nw extract

[sly pond]

i keep forgetting backpacks for some reason

[next lichen]

walked out with a hunter, sa58, and an adar

all with attachments

[sly pond]

nice Kair

[next lichen]

finally survived a solo extract lol

[bold kernel]

2 times now

i am proud scav

[next lichen]

i am lucky scav

spawned in to dead bodies

[bold kernel]

[next lichen]

positive

[bold kernel]

congrats from other nab to other

[next lichen]

i am the epitomy of rat

is broken body armour with repairing?

or should i just get rid of it

[split vapor]

Depends on the armor material and how many points are left on the max

But majority of the time it isn’t

[next lichen]

ight i was thinking that

its also just kirasa armour

should i just yeet it

[bold kernel]

There is a armor chart thing that shows u

want me to find it

[next lichen]

what armour chart

[sour plume]

kirasa is combined materials right? should repair very well

[bold kernel]

i saved it

[next lichen]

cannot check atm as im in looting screen lol

[bold kernel]

Cool a troll from ten years ago 😄

[next lichen]

what useful information, thanks.

[bold kernel]

Get pooped on

[split vapor]

So like trooper. Tactec. Killa armor

[icy summit]

Shoot

stop spreading missinformation.

[split vapor]

Ceramic is the worst to repair

[ripe linden]

Anyone have a good resource for like good weapons builds? I tried building a good slug shotgun but didn't do a very good job in the end

[mystic pasture]

Sherpa FIGHT

[icy summit]

UHMWPE/UHMW has nothing to do with Aramid Fibers (such as Kevlar)

[next lichen]

I just deleted it from my inventory anyways

but i appreciate everything.

[icy summit]

it's actually the same polyethylene.... you make bottles from.

[mystic pasture]

Sell it to fence @next lichen

[next lichen]

in looting screen

[mystic pasture]

rather than deleting

[icy summit]

Kevlar in this game is the Aramid.

[plucky burrow]

slugs are bad are penning

[next lichen]

cant fit it in

[mystic pasture]

ah ok

[next lichen]

[split vapor]

Hmm

[bold kernel]

how do I hide my entire hud

[fickle kettle]

@split vapor shoot since when we have 2 voice chat ?

and why dou

[novel ridge]

i queued for interchange and it put me on customs last raid, that ever happen to yall?

[icy summit]

Sks -

since i bullied GTB to make more last night

becouse one was allways full.

[bold kernel]

how does one hide their hud in Tarkov

[novel ridge]

theres a hud?

[bold kernel]

well just hide absolutely everything

[icy summit]

not sure if possible.

[fickle kettle]

ah isee but the first time some 1 call me SKS

rather than avi

it seem like i'm already 1 with the SKS

[fluid cave]

can anyone tell me where to find the place for this key ?

[mystic pasture]

Reserve

[next lichen]

god

damnit

[mystic pasture]

@fluid cave do you mean what map to use it on?

[next lichen]

i gotta remember that i can store items in other items

[quartz kettle]

reserve

[fluid cave]

no i mean like where to find it in that map

[fickle kettle]

if i remember that is the marked room on reserve

they on the basement

[quartz kettle]

spawns dont work like that minou

[fickle kettle]

of the Black Pawn

[steady pilot]

@icy summit bug gtb to move beginners assistance to be before off topic drop down

[quartz kettle]

[fluid cave]

no not spawns i mean the room

[mystic pasture]

Ones in the basement of black pawn and the other is down by the train yard

[fluid cave]

[edgy warren]

So are extraction glitches pretty common right now?

[fickle kettle]

[fluid cave]

okei thanks

[mystic pasture]

@fluid cave

Red circles

[fluid cave]

thank you ^^

[fickle kettle]

cause that room need another key

[mystic pasture]

Are they not the same key?

[fickle kettle]

np

[next lichen]

When you finish a raid as a scav, do you not get the exp?

[fickle kettle]

no

[mystic pasture]

oh my bad

[scarlet lantern]

scavs have separate xp I think

[next lichen]

oh

[mystic pasture]

@next lichen scav xp and level is random

doesnt go to your pmc

[next lichen]

i just wanna hit level 5

[proper ginkgo]

kair do quests

[next lichen]

how lol

[proper ginkgo]

look it up its not complicated but basically you go to traders, click the tasks tab, then click any available tasks and click accept

google guides

youll have to get used to looking up a lot on this game but theres info on everything

[next lichen]

Alright, so i've got a quest now to find 5 salewa kits. Do i have to survive when finding them?

[split vapor]

Buy them

[next lichen]

ight cool

once i hit 5 i will grab em off the flea market lol

[bold kernel]

how do i flip an item in inventory?

[lusty light]

@next lichen you just need them, whether you find or buy

some quests will say FIND IN RAID specifically THOSE words only

then you need to find them

[bold kernel]

90angles flip i mean

[lusty light]

@bold kernel hold it in your hand and press R

[bold kernel]

ok

[lusty light]

not like in your PMC hand

but hold left click

[whole galleon]

is there any cheap way to level ragman?

[mystic pasture]

Just sell him stuff you loot in raid

rigs and stuff

[whole galleon]

is there no fast way

[frail halo]

hi i am new to the community
i am not sure if this is a proper place to post a question that i encountered
about issues that i had after i pre-order the game

[whole galleon]

there used to be meta methods before

[worldly rivet]

is this good ignis D:

[frail halo]

I posted in the support chat and there are no response yet

[worldly rivet]

for an interchange scav

i say that's pretty good

[mystic pasture]

Not bad, certainly not the best you can get in interchange but not bad

[amber saffron]

where the heck did you find so much fuel

i need fuel

[bold kernel]

how can i apply for a sherpa ?

[worldly rivet]

There's so much

fuel

[next lichen]

Yeah this quest is FIND 5 salewa kits

[worldly rivet]

on interchange lol

my friend took 2 more normal cans

and 1 metal

[next lichen]

so i would assume i need to find them

[mystic pasture]

@frail halo support is a bit overwhelmed you might have to wait a bit

[next lichen]

and not just buy

[worldly rivet]

no just buy them @next lichen

[mystic pasture]

@next lichen does it say "Find in RAID"

[vapid cliff]

i need help im new can i talk to some1

[mystic pasture]

if it doesnt say "in raid" you can buy them

[next lichen]

oh sick

[lunar coral]

What's up Juicy

[chrome seal]

I'm new looking to join group

[next lichen]

ight ima try to make it to level 5

[lunar coral]

what do you need help with

[next lichen]

use #pvp-lfg

ive found lots there

[plucky burrow]

those scavs who survived from my shot with full shotgun mag at close range, i call them rasputin

[lunar coral]

lol

[amber saffron]

@worldly rivet yeah b it where on interchange

[lunar coral]

gotta keep in mind that any armor in the game can stop buckshot and lead slugs

[amber saffron]

i barely find one in a run

maybe im not looking in the right place

[lunar coral]

aim for face or legs if you can see armor on them

[plucky burrow]

maybe the rounds are like fritolay's chip bags

[half jackal]

@amber saffron find what

[plucky burrow]

full of air

[amber saffron]

fuel

on interchange

[half jackal]

oli

they're everywhere

[amber saffron]

o

maybe i’m just not looking right

thanks i’ll look today

[half jackal]

the hardware bit on interchange, check all the big shelving

[lunar coral]

It also depends how long idea been in raid Calin

It's been*

[half jackal]

yeah if you go late - might've been cleared out

[amber saffron]

ah good point

[worldly rivet]

We came in

10 minutes left

found 8 tanks

so ye

[amber saffron]

lmao

[worldly rivet]

its in oli

[mystic pasture]

A lot of people dont take fuel, cos they just buy it

[worldly rivet]

sametimes in idea and goshan

just check shelves

[atomic knoll]

Oli spawns plenty

[amber saffron]

i’ll try in another raid today

thanks a lot

[atomic knoll]

Blue fuels are much more worth it to loot tho

[mystic pasture]

yeh

[atomic knoll]

As they only take up 4 spaces

[lunar coral]

fuel isn't terribly efficient for the space unless you low level

[mystic pasture]

not only that

[atomic knoll]

And can make mag boxes too

[lunar coral]

you're*

[pliant plank]

how do u see the estimated value of everything in ur stash?

[mystic pasture]

can use it, and craft mag boxes

Click overall at the top

and its in there

[atomic knoll]

Always loot the blue fuel. Leave the metal ones behind

IF you have the space

[worldly rivet]

metal is just as good

even better

a bit less pricey/slot

[atomic knoll]

Blue fuels are about 75k per slot tho?

[frigid bay]

how do you turn stuff sideways to fit your bags in different ways?

[atomic knoll]

pressing r

[half jackal]

a lot less/slot

[vernal halo]

I need to put a lot of money into Prapor, Peace Keeper, and Ragman. Anyone know what they give the best prices on for items sold to them? I'd like to minimize the amount I get ripped off.

[frigid bay]

ty n

[half jackal]

Metal is like 8k/slot, blue is like 15k/slot

most things on interchange are 10-20k/slot

[atomic knoll]

Blue is worth much more then that. Crafting mag case

If you put that into account, it's about 50-75k per slot

[worldly rivet]

crafting mag case?

[half jackal]

eh still only like 20-30k/slot

[mystic pasture]

You can use an empty blue fuel can to craft a magazine case

in teh hideout

[half jackal]

mag case is 300k and the other mats arent cheap

[worldly rivet]

On which station

where do you craft a mag case

[vernal halo]

3 Blue, 1 Green gun powder you can Barter for for an ammo case

[atomic knoll]

The one which allows you to take a dump

[vernal halo]

Mag case is made in the toilet

[worldly rivet]

L A V A T O R Y

[atomic knoll]

level 2

[worldly rivet]

really

[atomic knoll]

LOL

[worldly rivet]

lmao

[vernal halo]

3 nuts, 3 bolts, 1 long scissor thing, and a blue fuel thing I believe

[worldly rivet]

WHY DOES EVERY UPGRADE REQUIRE A DIFFRENT UPGRADE

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[mystic pasture]

😄

You wait til the upgrades require skill levels

or worse

[nocturne flax]

Any suggestions for an affordable weapon that's fairly effective?

[mystic pasture]

JAEGER levels

Vepr Hunter

or Vepr KM

[atomic knoll]

Vepr KM

[worldly rivet]

@nocturne flax Vepr km / vpo 106

best gun

I finally bought a junkbox bois

[atomic knoll]

infantry mosin/hunting mosin if you don't mind ironsight

[half jackal]

vepr km + ps

[half jackal]

hunter + M80

[worldly rivet]

it's looking pretty t h i n

since i kept selling all my shit

[nocturne flax]

thanks guys

[atomic knoll]

DVDs

Are not worth the slots

sell em

xeno too

Which is even worse since it takes up 3 slots

[worldly rivet]

its better than nothing

and you can CRUSH them into circuit boards

[mystic pasture]

😄

[atomic knoll]

Or you could sell em

[mystic pasture]

@worldly rivet

I love the way you play

never change man

[lunar coral]

Vepr KM or Kedr imo

[worldly rivet]

What do you mean xD

[mystic pasture]

Everyone is so focused on the min max all the time

[lunar coral]

You've got to know how to use them though

[mystic pasture]

its refreshing to see someone just play

[split vapor]

d r o p s b a d

[lunar coral]

eat me, shoot

[half jackal]

its not even minmax

[worldly rivet]

I suppose

[atomic knoll]

Well space is a legit issue for me

[split vapor]

dinner first?

[half jackal]

the dvds are just worthless

[worldly rivet]

i've got plenty of space

I didnt even need a junkbox

[lunar coral]

I'll buy you a single Natty ice

[worldly rivet]

just got it so its more tidier

[split vapor]

oh yay

[lunar coral]

[worldly rivet]

my setup is looking

super sweaty

[mystic pasture]

[lunar coral]

that's not how you spell ADAR

[worldly rivet]

you will never understand budget 😔

[split vapor]

t5000

[mystic pasture]

MP7

[worldly rivet]

ADAR is for failed m4 players

and that's facts

[acoustic timber]

budget my ass bro u modded a fucking vepr km wth

[atomic knoll]

silencer
budget

pick 1

[lunar coral]

full auto

[amber saffron]

time to get back on quests to the level 30 grind

[half jackal]

m4s are for nerds who dont use HK

[lunar coral]

lol maybe if you're bad

[split vapor]

full auto is a meme

[wet spade]

what's a good full auto gun?

that is cheap

[half jackal]

uh

[worldly rivet]

ak-74n

[wet spade]

or at least not that expensive

[half jackal]

AK74M

[worldly rivet]

lightly modded

[lunar coral]

Kedr

[mystic pasture]

M4's are for failed ADAR players @worldly rivet

[split vapor]

aps

[lunar coral]

K E D R

[regal zinc]

Ak74m

[half jackal]

slap a new stock + RVG on a 74M/N

also cqb

[atomic knoll]

But good ammo for them are expensive af

[lunar coral]

K E D R

[amber saffron]

vepr km

[lunar coral]

[atomic knoll]

[amber saffron]

[atomic knoll]

so not km

[amber saffron]

o

[plucky burrow]

kedr pretty nasty

[lunar coral]

give em the bees

[amber saffron]

m4

[atomic knoll]

Probably lower caliber guns

[amber saffron]

vepr hunter

best gun

[lunar coral]

pffft

[amber saffron]

but it’s not full auto

[lunar coral]

Kedr best gun

Kedr
Extra 30rd mag
Scav vest

profit

[atomic knoll]

leg meta?

[amber saffron]

vepr km is decent, vepr hunter is godly but vepr akm is fucking cooked shit

[lunar coral]

yeah, although people don't really wear armor that protects arms anymore either

[atomic knoll]

vepr akm?

oh

[amber saffron]

ye vpo 209 i think

use the m4

[atomic knoll]

that's a weird gun

[amber saffron]

i have a nice budget build

[lunar coral]

Vepr KM is a decent gun but ADAR is more cost effective

[amber saffron]

i use that

[atomic knoll]

How is ADAR more cost effective?

[lunar coral]

if you're poor you're going for headshots either way

[atomic knoll]

What ammo do u use?

[mystic pasture]

The ADAR ammo is more expensive

[lunar coral]

855A1

[mystic pasture]

isnt it

[amber saffron]

m855a1

[plucky burrow]

vpo-215

[amber saffron]

best ammo

[worldly rivet]

you can use PS on a Vepr

just fine

and still make bank

[atomic knoll]

That's too expensive

855A1

[amber saffron]

ps for vepr km is good

i know but it’s good

[atomic knoll]

just go for 7.62x39 PS

[worldly rivet]

^^^

[atomic knoll]

cheap and it's good enough

[worldly rivet]

PS is cheap as shit

[lunar coral]

yeah but you have much faster follow ups with the ADAR

[lapis pilot]

whats the gun the say i should use instead of the op-sks?

[lunar coral]

if you miss with Vepr you're in trouble

[half jackal]

VEPR KM @lapis pilot

[atomic knoll]

Like you said - headshots

[lunar coral]

ADAR you can spam face

[worldly rivet]

?

I spam with my vepr too

[half jackal]

its 14k cheaper and is better

[worldly rivet]

D:

[amber saffron]

use m4

[half jackal]

@lunar coral only advantage adar has is access to M995

[atomic knoll]

ADAR is only worth it if you mod it AND you have unlocked 855A1

Then sure

[amber saffron]

m995 is way too fucking expensive

[half jackal]

855A1 is almost more expensive than BP

[lunar coral]

I almost never use 995 lmao

[amber saffron]

just go for 855a1

[atomic knoll]

Because you can craft BP

[half jackal]

@lunar coral then use vepr

[lunar coral]

855A1 drops face shield boys no problem

[amber saffron]

995 is not even worth at this point

[atomic knoll]

So does BP/PS?

[bold kernel]

trying to get a good mp5 lab build and im trying to get it to look like this:

[mystic pasture]

PS has 6 less pen than 55a1

[lapis pilot]

vepr km vs vepr akm?

[bold kernel]

but it looks like this

[lunar coral]

higher recoil with 7.62x39

[mystic pasture]

and its 150 roubles cheaper

per round

[bold kernel]

what should i do lol

[mystic pasture]

so for a beginner vepr and ps is the way to go

[atomic knoll]

^^^

[amber saffron]

^

[short pollen]

make sure you get the 10 round clips

[atomic knoll]

I would never recommend the ADAR

Due to ammo

for new players

[amber saffron]

just use a sniper and 7n1

[lunar coral]

Vepr is fine

just make your shots count

[bold kernel]

can anyone help me finish modding this mp5

[lunar coral]

don't try to spam

[lapis pilot]

anyone got a good vepr mod?

[lunar coral]

shoot, aim, shoot

[mystic pasture]

for new players, stick to the 7.62x39 rounds, use PS 80 roubles a round, you'll be fine

[bold kernel]

aim, shoot, reload*

[amber saffron]

just put a rk6, a tt01 and reflex @lapis pilot

[mystic pasture]

cos the sweaty bois that PS cant kill, you wouldnt kill with an adar and 55a1 anyways

[lapis pilot]

its missing a stock the one i bought

[mystic pasture]

cos you're new

[atomic knoll]

@lapis pilot Also add pp-19 grip, and the rubber butt stock for close to nothing

[amber saffron]

but because m4 has a high fire rate you can drop them with a 55a1

[atomic knoll]

Dynacomp too

[amber saffron]

but modding m4 can be expensive

[mystic pasture]

yup

[amber saffron]

mine costs like 110k

[half jackal]

use HK

[amber saffron]

but i love it

[atomic knoll]

At that point, I would rather use the ak 74m

[amber saffron]

modding HK is more expensive

[half jackal]

Meta HK is only 160k compared to meta M4 250k

[amber saffron]

i can’t afford

i don’t use meta m4

[lunar coral]

unironically the best gun in the game is the APB or maybe Kedr

[amber saffron]

i have my own build

[half jackal]

even budgeting yourself

m4 is more expensive

[lunar coral]

APB is hard to compete with for cost

[lapis pilot]

thats it from the flea market

[half jackal]

hk less recoil for cheaper

[amber saffron]

wait seriously

i did not know that lmao

lmao*

time to try HK

[hazy patio]

Absolutely do not get the 10 round maps

mags

[lapis pilot]

@atomic knoll cant find rk6

[hazy patio]

for the vedr

[languid flare]

German engineering 👌

[hazy patio]

get two 30 round aluminum for like 1k each

[lunar coral]

HK a garbage

[half jackal]

u r

50 more rpm, cheaper

[lunar coral]

[in Arctic conditions] [IRL]

[wise moth]

Looking to run with someone, new to the game. Let's pop some heads

[lunar coral]

416 in game is ok, more accurate for any barrel length than m4

[half jackal]

@wise moth accept the #521628660298678283 then copypasta that in #pvp-lfg

[atomic knoll]

@lapis pilot ? I said the pistol grip

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/PP-19-01_Izhmash_pistol_grip

[wise moth]

gotcha

[half jackal]

👍

[lapis pilot]

wait wrong ping

@amber saffroncant find rk6

[atomic knoll]

np

[half jackal]

@lapis pilot use RVG

[wet spade]

Isn't there a tech store in interchange level 3?

[amber saffron]

rvg is fine as well

but slightly more expensive

[atomic knoll]

@wet spade Yes there is

[half jackal]

more ergo too

[amber saffron]

but worth it

[half jackal]

i think

[amber saffron]

yeah more ergo

[wet spade]

Is it in the middle mall...?

[atomic knoll]

No

[lapis pilot]

cant find rvg

[atomic knoll]

Do u know where is oli?

[wet spade]

Yes!

[lapis pilot]

i mean cant place it

in mod screen

[atomic knoll]

Go up the escalator near oli

[half jackal]

@lapis pilot right click the handguard - linked search - mounts

[atomic knoll]

Near the tech store

[half jackal]

look for 4.1 or so

[wise moth]

Faolan i don't have access to #looking-for-group

[atomic knoll]

It should be in front of you

Once you are at lvl3

[half jackal]

did you click the ✅ /

[wise moth]

yessir

[half jackal]

give it a minute

[wise moth]

gotcha

[half jackal]

bot ded

[worldly rivet]

??

I only remember killing one

I only killed Shturman

[lapis pilot]

@half jackal still wont go on

[proper ginkgo]

looting rashala and his boys, find zhuk and some nice aks, server dcs 🙂

[bold kernel]

trying to get this modded mp5:

but mine looks like this

[proper ginkgo]

oh and altyn

[bold kernel]

what do I do to get the 3 extra slots

[half jackal]

@bold kernel handguard

[bold kernel]

the b-25u rk?

[wise moth]

any idea on how long that takes?

[mystic pasture]

@wise moth if it hasnt worked, untick and retick the reactions in #521628660298678283 and #news-setup

[bold kernel]

@half jackal i cant find it on the flea

[restive ruin]

where do i get a hatchet to become a hatchling?

[mystic pasture]

you can be a hatchling with any melee weapon 😄

[paper ruin]

just want to confirm. you cant use reshade for eft can you?

[mystic pasture]

Nope

[subtle steeple]

anyone else having issues connecting to raids with a friend? it was working just fine earlier but now we cant get into a single one

[restive ruin]

which merchant sells melee weapons?

[mystic pasture]

Flea market is the place I think

[bold kernel]

what is sv98 worth?

[mystic pasture]

Not a lot

like 25k on flea

[bold kernel]

okay

how do i check my items worth

[mystic pasture]

I use

[bold kernel]

if i collect guns, etc

[mystic pasture]

https://eft-loot.com/

Its not 100% accurate

but its a rough estimate

[bold kernel]

mmkay

[mystic pasture]

if you have the flea market unlocked you can just right click on the gun and click "filter by item"

[lapis pilot]

Any tips for cutting costs?

[split vapor]

Prapor 1: AK100 serires HG

[bold kernel]

what is flea market

jaeger?

[wet spade]

Tbh what's the use of having higher dealer?

[bold kernel]

oh nvm

[proper ginkgo]

@lapis pilot How much does that cost in all? Click assemble and search for all parts on flea, remove traders, select rubles only.

[edgy anchor]

anyone wanna do custom need experience player

[mystic pasture]

@wet spade You can buy more stuff from vendors which is cheaper than buying it off the flea market

[quartz kettle]

@wet spade higher dealer level means you can get more things from them

[wet spade]

Do you save a ton?

So lazy to do the quest LOL

[proper ginkgo]

Which means you can do things like buy items for cheap and sell them for a bit more. Make a bit of money and easily increase money spent on traders and flea rep

[mystic pasture]

@quartz kettle nice name btw 😄

[lyric tartan]

anyone up for taking me with on a pmc run?

[lapis pilot]

@proper ginkgo 90k

[proper ginkgo]

@lapis pilot gahdamn thats what I thought. And what's the recoil stat? I was doing the same thing as you until I realized I was paying the same amount as a vss and getting significantly less from it. Vss is 45-50k, 44 base recoil and even the weak sp-5 rounds work great and aren't very expensive. I'd suggest a vss. I love it. It's a meta gun too. It's very effective

Now when I go in cheap I just bring a mosin, it's OP

[lapis pilot]

115 and 239

[proper ginkgo]

yeah not good at all comparable to a 45k gun with 44 base recoil

use at least 20 round mags

3 30 round mags and ammo in container if it doesn't scare you because i think the 30 round mags are a bit expensive

and the vss is full auto

try it in your hideout, its amazing trusst me

[mystic pasture]

VSS is a great gun but I would consider it better slightly modded and using SP-6 with 30 round mags to be truly viable, so not so great for beginners

[split vapor]

woah

let me prove you wrong

[proper ginkgo]

@lapis pilot 2 mods, svd low mount and cobra sight. Ready to go.

@mystic pasture Ofcourse, but what I recommended is still leagues better than his vepr km

[mystic pasture]

The vepr km is amazing

[split vapor]

https://streamable.com/gt2dw
worst ammo and scope you could ever pick

[wet spade]

Is it easy to kill Killua?

[proper ginkgo]

I get horrible results with the vepr km vs the vss unless im using really expensive ammo and again, why not use something else

[mystic pasture]

@split vapor you're not a beginner, getting a headshot on a scav with no helmet 😄 ammo doesnt matter there

[bold kernel]

Is climbing ladders possible?

[split vapor]

nope

[bold kernel]

i saw a ladder going up to a roof top

how do npc scavs get to roofs ? 😄

[mystic pasture]

They spawn there

[bold kernel]

damn hackers

[proper ginkgo]

for cheaper than the best veprkm ammo you can get the same powerful ammo in a better gun @lapis pilot

[split vapor]

poor pscav didnt check his surroundings

lul

[mystic pasture]

😄

[proper ginkgo]

hard to check every possible camping spot

[mystic pasture]

That one is pretty common

[patent hazel]

any other good location for gas analyser other than interchange im kinda sick of finding nothing there

[mystic pasture]

Jaeger stashes can have them

[proper ginkgo]

Are you running in as a pmc and going there as fast as possible? I believe I found a crapload doing resort runs. Also reserve has loads

Since reserve has loads of tech spawns

[patent hazel]

thanks I'll try them both out

[proper ginkgo]

I think i only found them behind the locked rooms of resort so keep that in mind, quite an investment in keys there. probably better off doing reserve

[bold kernel]

for cliff descent on reserve, does everyone in party need the ice pick?

[proper ginkgo]

yup

and paracord

[fickle skiff]

questions

whats an optimal fov

i heard that the more you increase it the ads on irons are worse

[lapis pilot]

@proper ginkgo for 50k i got 120 vert 200 horz

what are you geting with yours

and is best 7.62 ammo still HP?

[cold robin]

So I got the MP-133 shotguns for the first quest. I turned them in to prapor and the quest is showing 0/2 and the shotguns disappeared from my stash. Is it just server lag or am I just out those shotguns now?

[half jackal]

restart first

[cold robin]

@half jackal That did it. Thanks!

[half jackal]

👍

[cold robin]

@regal plover ping for language setup

[half jackal]

haha orbb

[regal plover]

You're all good crom.

[cold robin]

Thanks a bunch!

[half jackal]

pmc him

[cold robin]

Awh still white. I selected rules too

[regal plover]

Bot's slow sometimes. I'll just give ya the role.

I guess 75,000 users is a bit much for one bot.

[cold robin]

👍🏿 makes sense

[paper ruin]

is there a way to flip items in inventory from horizontal to vertical?

[fathom barn]

good problem to have tho

[regal plover]

@paper ruin R

[sour plume]

So is there any real difference between the vss and val?

[paper ruin]

got it. cheers

[regal plover]

You can even flip 1x1 items if you want to weird out people who are looting you.

[pliant plank]

is there a keybind for "open"

[fathom barn]

I flip everything i leave on bodies

i want people to know they might be being watch

watched*

[regal plover]

@pliant plank Like, for doors and stuff?

[pliant plank]

like backpacks

like in my stash

[fathom barn]

double click

[pliant plank]

o

[rigid spire]

brand new to the game, seen tid bits and very little other than shooting for this game. i chose the bear dude, did a raid? and lost my starter ak, did a scav run and couldnt find anyone. any advice?

[regal plover]

If you guys wanna know all the controls, even some advanced ones that are difficult to find in the settings, check out this page. Click "[Show Controls]" https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/How_to_Play_Guide_for_Escape_from_Tarkov#Controls

[gloomy coyote]

Study whatever map you play on to get a feel for where the extracts are

[rigid spire]

how do i find a exract?

[regal plover]

Double-tap O to see what your extractions are

[half jackal]

Use a map from the wiki or google to see where they are

[regal plover]

To find WHERE they are... either wander around or use an out-of-game map :p

[rigid spire]

so theres no ingame map? 🤨

[sour plume]

Use your pistols to try and learn a map along with outside resources/maps/guides/etc, make some money by stashing good loot you find in your secure container, and if that fails then reset your profile and try again, do scav runs whenever available

[half jackal]

there is

and it shows extracts

but its useless

[regal plover]

There are in-game maps, but they're pretty useless

[quartz kettle]

@rigid spire yea buy them from therapist, theyre not good tho.

[fathom barn]

The controls thing is definitely worth a read

[quartz kettle]

learn the maps

[sour plume]

In game maps do basically the same thing as looking up a map would do, there's no in-raid map that shows where you are etc

[quartz kettle]

by playing

[rigid spire]

alright, guess im just going to run n gun for now.

[regal plover]

@naive sluice On the EFT website on your profile page there's a button.

[paper ruin]

where can i buy the mag for sks?

[gloomy coyote]

use the flea market

[gloomy coyote]

are you level 5?

[paper ruin]

nah

[gloomy coyote]

ohh thats unfortunate

[paper ruin]

yeah how would you recommend me leveling up to get to the flea market?

[gloomy coyote]

one of the traders might have it

[regal plover]

The 20 rnd SKS mag from PK LL2, or the 35 rnd one from PK LL4.

[half jackal]

@paper ruin just play - doing tasks or killing scavs or looting

on your pmc

[regal plover]

The default internal SKS mag is from Jaeger LL1.

[rigid spire]

what should i upgrade in my hideout

[paper ruin]

cool

yeah the 10 rnd one actually 😂

[sour plume]

Workbench, medstation and water/nutrition stations first imo

[regal plover]

Getting the Library quickly is good. It gives =15% exp and +30% skill exp..

You can see what all the Hideout modules do here: https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Hideout

[sour plume]

In general having a maxed hideout is really good for money long term, and other benefits

[rigid spire]

@sour plume @regal plover thanks!

[regal plover]

I've gotten over 100 BTC from the Bitcoin farm so far...

[nocturne flax]

Best ammo for TT pistol?

[paper ruin]

should i worry about the hideout if im not even lvl 5 yet?

[sour plume]

They all suck but pst gzh has the highest pen

[regal plover]

Define "best"

[nocturne flax]

Pain to someone's face-to-cost ratio

[regal plover]

@sour plume Wrong ammo type

[formal laurel]

no such thing as good tt ammo

[regal plover]

LRNPC is the most popular because of its high damage. None of the TT bullets have good penetration.

[sour plume]

That wasn't the wrong ammo type

[regal plover]

Gahh there are like 3 bullets in the game named pst lol

[sour plume]

pst has the highest pen but it's still awful so meh

9x19 9x18 and TT all have pst gzh lol

I just wouldn't ever touch the TT tbh lol

[regal plover]

The FN is generally considered the best pistol, followed by the Glock. The P226R is one of my favourites because of all the modding options :P

[sour plume]

Not the gyurza? SP13 bullets have higher pen than most rifle bullets

[half jackal]

dont hate on my drum mag pm

nerd

[regal plover]

The M9A3 is a pretty popular starter pistol, cheap too. Maybe go with that.

The Gyurza is probably the least popular pistol in the game

It's so expensive for what it offers

[sour plume]

Idk what it offers is pretty damn good lol

Only thing I don't like about it is the aids iron

but otherwise it's by far my favourite and most used pistol

[regal plover]

I don't know anybody who uses it

Nor do I ever see anyone using it

But hey, you do you ;-)

[sour plume]

I dunno why nobody would use it

It compares favourably to the strongest 5-7 ammo, and its ammo is cheaper, and the gun itself is like half the price

[gloomy coyote]

how do i get the pmc tag

[rain river]

#news-setup #521628660298678283

[deep torrent]

@gloomy coyote you have to go right search the body and grab it from them

[rain river]

I think he was talking about the discord tag

[sour plume]

lol

[proper ginkgo]

Just took a can of tushonka off someone on customs, didnt count as found in raid

nice glitch

[humble thorn]

so i got bombarded with scavs on interchange :/ Is there anyway to avoid them hunting you after you kill one or two? I had killas gear "/

[proper ginkgo]

everything i took off them didnt count as found in raid

[humble thorn]

I just need to do the documents quests and never touch the map ever again

[rain river]

@proper ginkgo if you take items that players brought into the raid they won't count as found in raid

[proper ginkgo]

wow wtf

[rain river]

People would just trade items that have to be found in raid for the quests.

[proper ginkgo]

Just make it so teammates items arent found in raid

if you kill a random i think it should count as found in raid

[half jackal]

its easy to queue into same game

[proper ginkgo]

How come?

[half jackal]

pick the same server and queue at same time

[rain river]

^

[proper ginkgo]

The player base is that small?

[rain river]

No its just possible to get into the same server

[half jackal]

no

its just easy if you pick the same server

[rain river]

If you play as a pmc and die, you can go in as a scav and get into the same raid that you died in

[bold kernel]

how do i install silencers

[mint hawk]

@humble thorn suppressors

[proper ginkgo]

It's possible sure but if it's easy that would mean the player base is tiny. Loads of games have loads of servers you can pick and it's still hard to run into people you know even if you try unless the player base is small

[bold kernel]

does it need anything else than the gun

[half jackal]

usually an adapter or FH/MB

[mint hawk]

@bold kernel depend on the gun

[bold kernel]

9mm pistol silencer

hmm

[rain river]

@proper ginkgo No palyerbase is not tiny

[half jackal]

link search the gun

go to muzzle devices

[mint hawk]

@bold kernel which 9mm

I mean weapon

[bold kernel]

dunno i have just this silencer aac illusion that i found and i happen to have 2 different 9mm pistols

i have mp 443 for example

same caliber as the silencer

[mint hawk]

If it's the p226 then you need to replace barrel with a threaded one.. If it's the m9 then just take the thread cap off

[rain river]

That silencer is compatible with M9A3, mpx, glock

[bold kernel]

oh okay

should i sell it

[rain river]

Look it up on wiki, it will tell you everything you need to know. There will be a list of compatible attachments.

[half jackal]

psst

[bold kernel]

my stash is getting full of random items and i need to get rid of something

[half jackal]

learn how linked search works

[bold kernel]

okay

how

[half jackal]

and you will never have to use the internet

[bold kernel]

😄

[mint hawk]

One can also inspect it and see compatable weapons

[bold kernel]

eh

i can use this silencer for my makarov

but

how do i put it on

do i need to unlock something in hideout

PM (t)

The threaded makarov

[bold kernel]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i feel stupid

can i make my normal makarov into a threaded one? 😄

I don't think you can, no

okay

no more stupid questions then

but

should i just sell this silencer

im not sure what to sell but i need to sell off something

Just sell it

[mint hawk]

Keep it until you get a compatible gun.. Unless you need the cash

[bold kernel]

this is my situation

what do i sell away

i am very broke

[winter star]

lmao all of it

keep like 2 loadouts

[bold kernel]

😄

[quartz kettle]

fucking love queueing for 30 minutes to die in 4

[rain river]

Vepr KM and the 10 round mags, measuring tape, pliers, gunpoweder

[half jackal]

stack the bags

[rain river]

Also the knifes

[half jackal]

or sell army anyway

[bold kernel]

bags are full of shit also

[half jackal]

open those

same with tritons

[bold kernel]

what are tritons 😄

oh yea

nvm

[mint hawk]

@quartz kettle map?

[half jackal]

@bold kernel are you level 5?

[bold kernel]

im 6 i think

[half jackal]

right click -> filter by item

sort by price

sell it if you wont use it within the next couple of raids

guns take up tons of space but arent worth much

[quartz kettle]

customes @mint hawk all the other maps are fine really but more servers really need allocated to customs queues only

[half jackal]

you can also take the pistol grip/mag off guns and they get smaller

or fold them

[mint hawk]

I mean.. You could just not play customs?

[half jackal]

just play interchange

or

.... everything else is kinda suck for newbies

[bold kernel]

the content of my baggies and shit

[tepid rock]

thoughts on stan 20 vs stan 30?

probably should get rid of the 20s huh?

@bold kernel get rid of those masks, and knives homie

[bold kernel]

but

[tepid rock]

same with the cigs

[bold kernel]

if i collect em i can change em into itemz

😮

[tepid rock]

yes but is it worth it?

[bold kernel]

i dunno?

[tepid rock]

like i know the knives trade for a pistol

but its a meh pistol, i would rather have 4.5k from selling those knives

[bold kernel]

i can have 4.5k from selling them?

😮

[tepid rock]

fence buys them at 1k or 1.5k, theres a difference in some knives

[bold kernel]

okay so

[tepid rock]

the pistol you get from trading them is around 6k i think

[bold kernel]

where should i usually sell all my stuff? the fence?

i havent sold anything in this game yet

[tepid rock]

not everyone buys everything

meds, and some tools can be bought by the therapist

Fence will buy knives

[bold kernel]

okay

[tepid rock]

when you get guns you want to sell, Disassemble it, Sell the parts that skier will buy, then sell the rest of the parts to the mechanic

[bold kernel]

but like, when do the fleamarket should be used

[tepid rock]

it depends on the item

[bold kernel]

well shit items like i have?

[tepid rock]

one sec

[bold kernel]

not fleamarket worthy?

brb cigarette irl

[sour plume]

@tepid rock 30 round colt mags aren't expensive at all, no reason not to use them

[tepid rock]

so just blow the 20 mags?

[sour plume]

ye

[mint hawk]

@tepid rock unload 1st

[half jackal]

well

[tepid rock]

yeah i do :)

[half jackal]

actually 20 rounders are really useful in niche scenarios

[tepid rock]

go on

[half jackal]

but yeah not worth keeping around

[mint hawk]

Prob loaded with 855 but yeah

@half jackal no difference unless they use less space

[half jackal]

they're 1 slot

Ill run armor + Adar and 4 20 rounders of 995 in pockets

[sour plume]

you could maybe make an argument to take a couple 20 rounders in your spare pockets loaded with m995 for sniping pmcs

[half jackal]

for labs

dont waste a rig

[winter star]

I'd keep half masks @bold kernel

[sour plume]

i still think the overall best armor to run is the 6b3tm so i dont really run into that problem

[winter star]

they're needed for a quest later, you only need 10 tho

[frail ginkgo]

so like how to i fit optics easier? the mounts never show up in the guns linked search so they seem impossible to find

[tepid rock]

as a new player for right now, probably should get rid of them huh

[half jackal]

you're link searching the wrong thing

[sour plume]

half masks? if they're in-raid, keep them

[tepid rock]

@winter star masks are so easy to come by, and as a new player he needs space

[sour plume]

you need them for a task later

[frail ginkgo]

what do i search other than the gun?

[foggy latch]

this is my loadout for labs

[sour plume]

nothing is "easy to come by" in eft lol, especially for a new/less goood player

[foggy latch]

rip mixed with ap 20

[sly warren]

Assuming my opponent is wearing a Class 4 Body armor, what amount of damage should I be looking to do according to the ballistics webpage for a 1 shot kill? 41 Pen seems to be "6" in penetrating (The M80 7.62x51), does that mean it would be BETTER than a M62 with 68 Pen but only 70 dmg?

[tepid rock]

@bold kernel as a new player this is what i kinda understand. correct me if im wrong anyone

[nocturne flax]

What gun is summit using on his stream right now?

[foggy latch]

adar

[sly warren]

ADAR > Vepr Hunter?

[split vapor]

M80

[mint hawk]

@foggy latch nice.. Free exfil for me

[nocturne flax]

And the sight?

[half jackal]

keep all wilstons

[fast rivet]

always check your flea market value for valubles against therapist's prices, sometimes she has a better deal

[nocturne flax]

I guess I could just watch his vod

[sour plume]

keep the half masks and keep the non-apollo cigs

[undone laurel]

what is the poitn of the reputation on the flea market?

[next ruin]

@undone laurel more listings

[sour plume]

higher rep = you can post more offers at once

[undone laurel]

oh dope. what rep do you get the 4th spot?

[next ruin]

10

[winter star]

cigarettes should be kept as well, check ahead of time to figure out which one's you'll need and get rid of the others

[languid flare]

Eh

Cigs are so common

[winter star]

and keep winstons especially

[undone laurel]

oof that will take a bit

[winter star]

cigs are common, but can be a pain to gather as a not great player

or new player

[bold kernel]

hmmm

[smoky kindle]

Why do I keep disconnecting from my raids? I have to play on Singapore servers but I get 120 ping so it isn’t that high... was just in a geared run and got DCd...

[bold kernel]

Anyone wanna pmc or scav run?

[sour plume]

successfully extracting from raids can be a challenge even if you're experienced, especially if you play solo, so it's worth holding onto anything you know you'll need for a task later
