is there somewhere that tells which headsets interfere with which helmets

[dawn vapor]

I need to improve my games fps cause I just realized I have been playing on 45 fps this entire time and drops down to 20-30 when fire fighting xD

[sonic lake]

hey boys

scav noob here

why does heating pipe not work lmao

[bold kernel]

Why cant I equip certain armors i get off players, is it my level or something?

[sonic lake]

if youre wearing an armored rig

you cant put it on

[bold kernel]

Ohhhh

Ty

[hazy patio]

and vice versa

[sonic lake]

pre .12 it was possible though

[mighty ore]

Why can't I buy this?

It says out of stock but he clearly has 1200 in stock

[frosty crown]

how much is the rb-kprl key

[proper ginkgo]

labs freezes a fuck load huh

[frosty crown]

spawned with it

[proper ginkgo]

Do all labs exits spawn raiders?

[feral tangle]

what do i do with all this shit

[mighty ore]

The macros buy out the traders instantly

Nice

[trim herald]

@proper ginkgo All have a chance, not guaranteed

[feral tangle]

legit though what should i do with all that random shit

sell it?

[trim herald]

Check the items on the wiki, if you need them for a quest or hideout keep them, otherwise sell to therapist/flea

[timber dock]

@feral tangle check what you'll need for quests that are 'found in raid', sell the rest if you're low on space, you can always buy stuff from the flea market later if you need it.

[silver hornet]

@frosty crown it's worth quite a bit I think

[spark marsh]

@split vapor @brisk mortar we gotta raid again at some point

[silver hornet]

IIRC couple hundred thousand

[frosty crown]

well i died

so

[silver hornet]

oof

[frosty crown]

lol

[silver hornet]

[warm terrace]

For all the new Tarkov players, what are some of the bigger learning curve items of the game that you wish there was more info or explanation on? Trying to compile a list of struggles newer players have when starting out.

[frosty crown]

extracts

also i didnt even know there were tasks

for a long ass time

[rocky ocean]

would you guys recommend giving the docs from Supply plans to skier or therapist? it looks like skier gives more money and therapist more exp

[worldly rivet]

i'd say skier

cuz you wanna level him

mor

e

:^)

[trim herald]

Up to you, whatever you prioritise higher

[rocky ocean]

ok thanks!

skier it is 😄

i want to get a scav junkbox 😄

and therapist -1 is less than skier -3 haha

[proper ginkgo]

can you not side step on stairs?

just got me killed

[bold kernel]

DAMN it feels good to exit alive as pmc after hardcore pvp

any tips for having 2 broken legs and nothing to heal them with?

[feral tangle]

pray

[half jackal]

@bold kernel painkillers

[rare helm]

Would love to run a few if anyone is down. Just started today and I've yet to survive a PMC run 😂

[bold kernel]

cool

i think i just survived my first pmc run

survived bunch of scav runs tho

[halcyon eagle]

Best way to level ragman?

[trim herald]

Buy armour and sell it back to him

[waxen forge]

Tasks

[trim herald]

Wut? You can't level Ragman with tasks, because his task is to get him to lvl 2 😄

[next vessel]

Do you guys repair your body armor every single time after the raid?

my body arm is now 39/47, should i repair it?

its a ceramic shit

btw

[trim herald]

Usually, replace it once it falls under 75% or so of max durability

By max I mean new max

[halcyon eagle]

Right-o

[next vessel]

jeez that sounds horribly expsenvie

[trim herald]

Cheaper than dying because your armour doesn't work anymore 😄

[atomic knoll]

You can sell your armour

On flea

So for example, if your armour costed you 50k from vendor, at 37 dura, sell it for like 30k

[formal warren]

looking to find someone to play

[atomic knoll]

You lost around 20k which is nothing

[forest steppe]

man this woods scav kills quest is hard, always run into pmcs inside 5 minutes

although i think i got my first ricochet kill on a pmc

[atomic knoll]

Heh

[forest steppe]

however, i had like 600 xp (not much i know) but it gave me 0 of that xp

[atomic knoll]

The jaegar quest was much more difficult for me

[forest steppe]

i did a bug report, unless there is some mechanic where xp in the first bit doesnt count

[trim herald]

Sounds like a bug

[forest steppe]

i was confused, i took a video of the screens at the end

[lethal fog]

i just built the medstation, does it automatically apply the health regen bonuses? or do i have to be inside my hideout for it to work

[trim herald]

Need to have the generator on I think

But it's passive

[forest steppe]

i also just realized the chevron scopes, you have to put the chevron like a hat not under their chin right?

[reef spoke]

nO.

Tip of the chevron is point of impact

[trim herald]

The point is where the bullet lands

[forest steppe]

ok good, i hate the other style

[trim herald]

If zero'd

[forest steppe]

dislike chevrons in general but thats better

[lethal fog]

@trim herald do i need to construct the generator or somehting

[trim herald]

Yeah, to my knowledge

[reef spoke]

the delta point is broken, and must be used as hat.

[trim herald]

As in, you wear it? Or you aim with it as a hat?

[reef spoke]

aim top of head with tip will hit chin.

at like 25m

[forest steppe]

im using a 1p59 or something

[reef spoke]

yee the 59 is tip is POI, Just be aware of how ammo effects your zeroing and stuff

[forest steppe]

now im confused

ok you meant a diff scope

[reef spoke]

yep.

"delta point"

[trim herald]

No wonder I had an easier time getting HS with the PK over the DP

Shame as I like the HAMR as well

[forest steppe]

well a guy killed me then cause i t hought it was hat style

sad

if you hit armor does that count as a hit?

[reef spoke]

@trim herald yee its a bit silly.

@forest steppe yes.

[forest steppe]

hmmmmm weird, cause it says i had 1 hit but i def had 2? this is weird

[reef spoke]

possible desync

[trim herald]

Are the .308's all zero'd for the same round btw? Do you know?

[forest steppe]

there were 2 shots after the 2nd "hit" i have to step away but im down to show the vid later to those interested

[lethal fog]

@pliant bear ????

very cool

joins channel and asks if i want to buy scripts

epic

[atomic knoll]

Buy macros I guess?

[reef spoke]

@trim herald No

they are not

[trim herald]

That'd be too easy I guess

Yes

[wet spade]

It's so bright in my game...?

Oh really? LOL

So will 10pm be dark?

Hey all, with the new player influx into Tarkov, I've been getting DM's alot about info on the game itself. Decided to try and see the most common learning curve topics people are struggling with. If you have some free time and feel like clicking some boxes, please check out this Google Form and let me know what would be helpful to have more info/explanation on within EFT: https://forms.gle/zhpuzmoyahHk1AgRA

Looking for a sherpa for Reserve if anyone is interested

[novel ridge]

@astral portal read #521628660298678283 and check out #news-setup

[tight orbit]

@warm terrace Just finished the forum

[trim herald]

@novel ridge Strip all, sell to trader

[bold kernel]

how do i set hotkeys for grenades and healing items?

so i dont have to open inventory

[waxen forge]

With items in rig or pocket hover mouse over and hit 4-0 key.

[novel ridge]

what trader? or just whatever gives best

[waxen forge]

4 through 0

[bold kernel]

4-0?

number 4 is max for quick use slots?

[novel ridge]

4-9 + 0

[bold kernel]

ah

[waxen forge]

Can't use 1 2 or 3.

[bold kernel]

oh

[novel ridge]

1-3 is hotkeyed to weapons

[bold kernel]

oh yea

cool

[waxen forge]

Can be on 4,5,6....all the way up to 0

[bold kernel]

yeah cool

ty

should i buy frag grenades?

[waxen forge]

Break down weapons and sell to skier then rest to mechanic

[novel ridge]

what?

[bold kernel]

some people never get out of buildings or corners so are frags worth using to kill em

[novel ridge]

sell to skier but at what point to i sell to mech?

[tight orbit]

there are some things that skier wont buy

[novel ridge]

ah okay, thanks 🙂

[waxen forge]

Break down weapons into parts. Sell to skier what he won't buy sell rest to mechanic

[novel ridge]

was loot pinata on first labs run and made it and was last alive of a very experienced squad the second run so tehy let me have whatever i wanted to take, twas a good time

ez m4s 😛

[tight orbit]

I'm looking for someone who can help me with learning the map if anyone's interested

[novel ridge]

which map

[tight orbit]

customs

[quartz dew]

l

[tight orbit]

i heard you should start there cuz it's literally going from left to right

But idk, like I said, I'm really new at the game

[novel ridge]

customs is good to learn but fairly large, factory is good to learn just as a basic murder map

[bold kernel]

Do not do factory as your first couple of raids

[novel ridge]

then customs, then interchange/coastline, then woods/reserve

[trim herald]

Factory is pointless to learn

[waxen forge]

Factory is not representative of the overall EFT experience. It EFT COD. Other maps much more tactics oriented

[novel ridge]

correct

what bud said, its kill farming

[trim herald]

You'll only learn how to play Factory, on Factory

Nothing really is translatable to other maps

[tight orbit]

So, anyone down to help me out ingame?

[astral portal]

@novel ridge i did that but am I missing something or you just reccomend that in general? I clicked all the things

[novel ridge]

customs teaches you awareness, woods teaches you to run from snipers, factory teaches you corner camping, reserve teaches you a good mix of cqb and snipers

some of this is satirical, i apologize, take what im saying with a grain of salt

[bold kernel]

im not understanding my loading issues, only loads fast when i play offline first, but if i switch maps i have to play offline then go online for it to load fast

[tight orbit]

I'm having trouble loading into matches as well

[novel ridge]

@astral portal accept the #521628660298678283 the reaction is at the bottom, you need PMC role(the 'i accepted the rules' role)

[spark marsh]

qs have been long today, but its all good

[novel ridge]

american servers later into the day queue fairly slow, if you're okay with some ping, set your region(in the launcher settings) to queue for EU and NA servers, it'll find the shortest match which is usually EU, for better or worse

[astral portal]

@novel ridge sent you a DM as it doesn't seem to work

[spark marsh]

@bold kernel its because ur pre loading the map when u do offline first]

[bold kernel]

yea, but i just upgraded my ram and my game is on ssd, i shouldnt be having this long loading problem

[novel ridge]

loading most maps on my SSD takes a min or two and im almost always first to deploy

[bold kernel]

im never first to deploy

always 4 5 mins late

[tight orbit]

same

[naive lion]

I preordered the game about 10 hears ago and still haven't gotten a confirmation email

[astral portal]

Any idea how I can filter out the armor which is max durability? The filter in game doesn't seem to work

[half jackal]

@astral portal u cant

its bugged

[astral portal]

Ah okay

[half jackal]

what armor are you trying to buy?

[steep oracle]

What do u guys do when you start getting shot by someone you can't see? Go prone? Spray and pray? try to quickly locate him and fire back? Run away as fast as possible? Seems whatever you do in this situation you die!

but if you'

[trim herald]

@astral portal If you're looking for a high quality helmet I'd recommend the black exfil over the FAST

[tame sierra]

to guide me... teach me how to aim

[half jackal]

it depends on the situation

[dim pilot]

what is a sherpa?

[half jackal]

i mean if you're near covor, run

[steep oracle]

you're moving you'll always be spotted by someone camping

[half jackal]

but just clear your angles

[trim herald]

@steep oracle If it's close, prone, or try to get behind close cover, if it's far, sprint in zig zag to cover

[tame sierra]

guess im just on my own

[steep oracle]

9/10 times I die bc I can't see them, I normally try to run away but it's hard to put cover between yourself and an enemy if you have no idea what direction they are

Try to run behind a wall, still taking damage, he must be the other side... guess i'll just die then

[coral kite]

New guy here. Anyone down to help out a bit?

[naive lion]

are kill cams planned for the game?

[half jackal]

just play slowe

stop running

@naive lion probably not

a replay system maybe

[warm rover]

Wtf I just completed the Gunsmith Part 6 , turned in the weapon and it's not complete... wtf

[steep oracle]

I pretty much never sprint unless i'm actually under fire

[half jackal]

but not kill cams

@steep oracle dont walk in the open?

what map

[steep oracle]

mostly customs, factory and interchange

[half jackal]

customs/factory i understand

[trim herald]

@naive lion Will never had kill cams, but there are after action reports planned for after the raid has ended

[half jackal]

interchange just stick to walls and stay away from big hotspots

[steep oracle]

Interchange it's hard because there's only two normal exfils so they are usually camped by someone

[half jackal]

just assume someone is camping

and clear it out - go around wide

[steep oracle]

Easier on train exfil I think

Army base one is brutal

[naive lion]

how long did it take for everyone to get their beta keys?

[bold kernel]

Has anyone run into the issue of textures stretching forever? EFT is the only game where it does it for me.

[hazy patio]

is breach worth it? If you keep kicking a locked door does it eventually open?

[whole rune]

I've played for like 6 or so days so I'm pretty new but I think that breaching depends on the way the door opens

[azure kraken]

i dont think so shunt

on customs when i first got the game i just kept fucking kicking a door for like 3 mins

[whole rune]

Ima make a 3d paint to explain it 1 sec

[azure kraken]

ik what you mean

[spark marsh]

the breach is almost never worth

[azure kraken]

if it opens in you can breach it

[noble kernel]

I'm having extreme difficulty trying to find a list of all the optics that'll work for the guns i have. It won't let me right click on the optic space, its grayed out. and to my knowledge there isn't a way to look at all the optics that'll fit on said specific gun. I know some guns require a rail slide but for my ADAR it already has a rail system on it and i've been looking through every possible way to link search a optic

[novel ridge]

the only door that i know of that opens but you have to breach is nicknamed breach in factory hallway

@noble kernel and @whole rune do me a favor and read through #521628660298678283 and #news-setup

[loud frigate]

i figured it out. SHerpa request sent! thank ya jesus!

[novel ridge]

@noble kernel if you right click on the gun and click linked search, everything that comes up will be compatible

ammo, sights, mags, everything

[hazy patio]

breach feels like mostly an accidental trap/new player trap

it's not even quicker than opening

and it doesn't do damage to things behind it

or stun

[unique wolf]

No but if someone else is in there it'll scare the piss out of em

[whole rune]

^

[hazy patio]

if it caused a daze affect for like 1second it might be good

That stun just provokes m1

spray

and death

I go to Reserve and there's always like 5 people going to the same room

@novel ridge For me only the vital parts show up. nothing about rail slides and scopes/optics

[unique wolf]

what gun are you trying to mod Respaar?

I would recommend edit preset when you right click it

it'll show you all available attachments that you've examined

for each slot on the gun

really helpful for learning how the building works

[noble kernel]

Well my ADAR and my mosin inf. But i'd like to know what to do with any gun @unique wolf

[fair zephyr]

good 545.39 ammo?

I would start with the edit preset

it'll help you figure out what's available and how it looks

quests

[spark marsh]

and pmc kills

[jolly sluice]

Can I discard a secure container for a friend?

[novel ridge]

or corner camp factory for hours but thats not really enjoyable and ruins the game kinda

you can put it in a backpack and drop it i believ tech

[whole rune]

@jolly sluice wym

[wet remnant]

Should I strip every single part till the gun is no longer a gun or should I strip everything untill its as little of a gun as possable aka having the bare min to be considered a gun? I need to know how to sell guns correctly

[spark marsh]

Strip completely

[jolly sluice]

I just finished punisher aprt 6 and got the epsilon container but I don't need it since I am EOD

[whole rune]

I will take it

[spark marsh]

then sell to skiier first and then to mech

[whole rune]

Is that ok?

[novel ridge]

i was told disassemble, sell all you can to skier, anything thats left, you can sell to mech

[coral kite]

Anyone willing to party up?

need help killing 5 scavs on custom

@whole rune lol I would but I got an alpha buddy

[whole rune]

ok

oh I didnt know what you meant

[jaunty plover]

can anybody help me out with killing 5 scavs on custom

[whole rune]

Pretty sure you can give someone a secure container

They would need to put their one in their stash beforehand tho

[azure kraken]

you ever accidentally buy a med case

[vocal finch]

I was lucky to get a rb-mp22 key on my scav backpack, should I just sell it and make some money? It's worth around 900k

[jaunty plover]

can somebody help with 5 scav on custom

or 5 sulema meds for therapist

[zealous forge]

Kill the scavs with a vepr 7.62, vepr hunter, mosin

[whole rune]

Kalenji I would check the wiki for it

[zealous forge]

Or whatever guns you can get form scav runs

[whole rune]

WHat rarity is it?

[zealous forge]

Buy the meds off the market once your level 5

[novel ridge]

make money and just buy from markety

just get used to game then work towards quests once you get more comfortable

[whole rune]

Kalenji this is what you can get from it

Two Weapon racks (AK-74N, AKS-74U, AKS-74N, AKS-74UB, AKS-74UN)
One Wooden Ammo Box
One Toolbox
Possible 6-STEN-140-M military battery
Loose loot (Tools, Weapon mods)

I would sell it

[vocal finch]

I did check it, it unlocks a room which has some ak's and tank batteries, but I don't think I'll be going to reserve soon

Yeah i was leaning towards selling it

[bold kernel]

omg i found a graphics card

and its worth more than 220k

should i sell it or is it rare for some quest

[novel ridge]

sell it unless you're doing farming part 3

which is where yo need them

[bold kernel]

im not doing any quests atm

[novel ridge]

money now to make more money, then buy when need

welcome to a game in beta

you just got tarkoved buddy

Sigh. I just killed 8 scavs in the dorms.

Should I bother waiting until the timer runs out or just task kill it?

[jaunty plover]

anybody wanna scav with me

[solemn river]

im down.

[novel ridge]

you can alt-f4 and return, can't you?

[solemn river]

what maps

[jaunty plover]

im a noob

idc

your choice

do you have a mic

[orchid nacelle]

Anybody want to do the gilded zibbo challenge in dorms with me? Might be easier to clear as a duo than solo.

[cosmic pawn]

@novel ridge I'll give 'er a shot

[jaunty plover]

anybody wanna scav?

[bold kernel]

anybody wanna buy zibbo for 6mil?

[acoustic timber]

Why does it take so fuckin long

To queue in a match

Like I load in faster solo

But there shouldn't be a problem loading in with other people

@novel ridge you saved my run dude.

[feral tangle]

god that felt good

some fucking level 50 sweat chased me AROUND the building when he clearly saw i only had a pistol

he thought he downed me and i put a clip into his chest as he came around the corner

got all his gear to exfil

five seven ftw

[limpid dawn]

i need help on learning how to play the game, need frinds

please help lol

[noble kernel]

Where in game or off game can i go to see all the parts i can put on my guns? i've been looking for a good chunk of time on simply where i can go to see all the optics that'll fit on my guns. either i'm incredibly stupid or it's impossible to do it in game

[limpid dawn]

@wet bone added you bro thanks

[timber dock]

@noble kernel it's fairly easy in-game if you make use of the 'linked search' feature on items.

[noble kernel]

It's grayed out for me.

wont let me linked search

[timber dock]

It uses the flea market, needs level 5

[noble kernel]

i am level 5, when i link search there is no optics or drop downs for optics on the left. only vital parts like slides and mags

[timber dock]

You'd want to do the linked search on the actual item that you'd be mounting the optic on, ex dust covers/mounts, etc.

Might be easier for you to step through the wiki, though. I think it has most of the links.

[noble kernel]

yeah but it has no option to look for optics. for instance, My ADAR allready has a slide on it. when i link search the whole gun nothing about optics come up. only but stocks and mags and other vital parts. no other slides or optics

but ok i'll dig through the wiki lol

[loud escarp]

yo what the fuc mechanic was supposed to give me an m4 for completing gunsmith part 10 but i didnt get shit

just some ammo cases and roubles

[noble dirge]

how should i spend money to level up Jaeger and Peacekeeper?

[devout fulcrum]

Why is red keycard so expensive

[fathom barn]

peacekeeper you can just buy USD from him

[serene yarrow]

@timber dock thank you i was mid raid

[fathom barn]

you'll need the usd later, or can use it to buy guns from him

jaeger i'm in the same boat, i'm just selling him whole guns i find on scav runs

[modern steppe]

is there any ammo that is locked behind trader levels

[noble dirge]

ok thanks

[fathom barn]

most of it towmater

[modern steppe]

also how do i level skier

[fathom barn]

at least the good ones

some are locked behind tasks as well

[devout fulcrum]

Anyone know why red keycard so exp

expesnive

[fathom barn]

lots of good shit spawn in that room i'd imagine.

[river warren]

hi, im new here. Does anyone have some tips? 🙂

[fathom barn]

same reason some keys are expensive.

[vocal imp]

Any idea why I can't put a rk-0 foregrip on a Ak-74M, been checking out budget ak builds and all of them have it on there

[bold kernel]

Low spawn rates and good loot @devout fulcrum

[modern steppe]

bruh how do i level skier

[fathom barn]

part out guns and sell them to him

[bold kernel]

You need the ak polymer hand guard iirc @vocal imp

[fathom barn]

do his tasks

and hit the level requirement

[bold kernel]

Buy his stuff

[vocal imp]

ahhhh thanks @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

And sell it back to him

[half jackal]

@modern steppe buy tritons off flea and sell to him

[modern steppe]

ty

[half jackal]

or just sell all your attachments you find in-raid to him

[fathom barn]

^

[modern steppe]

under a certain price for tritan?

[serene yarrow]

how much will he pay for the tritons

[half jackal]

iirc 17-19k

[modern steppe]

he pays 19k

just checked

[half jackal]

buy the ones on flea at 20k

[modern steppe]

ya around 1k loss per isnt bad

[half jackal]

its really slow method though

but only 5% loss instead of 30-40%

[modern steppe]

anything else to purchase lol

no one sells

[serene yarrow]

will scav boss shoor player scav

shoot

[uncut socket]

yes

[serene yarrow]

@wet bone i need wepcase xD

[modern steppe]

luluulul

[uncut socket]

i need the child

[hazy patio]

i need THICC

[pliant plank]

has battlestate addressed the queue times

[half jackal]

@pliant plank too many players

[pliant plank]

28 mins in queue rn for customs

[half jackal]

they're constantly dealing with it

restart queue

[pliant plank]

what will that change

[half jackal]

might help

it used to

[fossil musk]

I just finished a Scav Raid and was told at the end I got a 'Run Through'.
...What's a run through and why is that bad

[stone surge]

@fossil musk it just means you didnt do a lot in the raid (like looting/killing)

[hazy patio]

you need 700xp

[stone surge]

so they didnt award you a lot of XP

but it doesnt really mean much

if you need to get out and you feel like you did enough

just get out

[hazy patio]

I guess it's like a "coward" meter?

[stone surge]

run through doesnt do anything

[hazy patio]

but yeah

it means nothing

I don't think you get the xp though do you?

[fossil musk]

I went in and I came out with stuff alive. That's a win in my book.

[stone surge]

you get some

just not a lot

[half jackal]

you get 0 with run through iirc

[stone surge]

but i wouldn't pay attention to it and just extract whenever you want

[half jackal]

adds a 0x multiplier

dont worry about it though

just play

[timber dock]

These matchmaking times are getting brutal. Usually matchmaking times in games improve when there's an influx of players.

[stone surge]

my matches are found within 2mins

[half jackal]

@timber dock they only have x instances - and they're all in use - so you're waiting for a raid to end

[stone surge]

are you perhaps NA?

[half jackal]

EU usually has server issues

[timber dock]

Oof.

[stone surge]

idk im EU and never had to wait longer than 4mins

[half jackal]

Friday night NA though so maybe

[timber dock]

Bit of an architectural oversight.

[half jackal]

well

the game like tripled in popularity over a month

[stone surge]

more than tripled

it was pretty crazy honestly

[worthy schooner]

idk if this is possible but can some body give me a hard carry? im trash and trying to get better.

[fossil musk]

What maps would I benefit from running? Woods and Interchange?

[stone surge]

What do you mean by hard carry?

you dont get good or rich "fast"

game is learnt through experience pretty much

[worthy schooner]

no no not rich im was trying to find somebody to help me a little. im newer to Pc and im getting stomped. i was just wondering if someone could help me get established.

i should say im newer to pc gaming

[obtuse sleet]

looking for 1 or 2 people to grind out some maps with and just learn the game really. im level 6 so i got the basic movement and such down lol

[timber dock]

@worthy schooner if you haven't watched some already, you'd probably get a lot out of 'new player guide' videos on Youtube.

[stone surge]

@worthy schooner perhaps try a sherpa

they're meant to help new players out in-raid

[timber dock]

Or if you're a masochist, dive straight into PMC raids.

[worthy schooner]

ive watched a lot of videos but i cant get a good start. i do scav runs to get supplie and cash but im having a hard time doing solo runs.

[obtuse sleet]

any sherpas online rn want to group up?

[grand plume]

okay, dogtag case is filling up, what should I do with dogtags? I have a mix from lvl 5 - 39

[stone surge]

I generally help players in-raid too, but i'm not good at helping a complete new player. I mostly take players with me that got the basics down and just wanna further improve such as loot/paths playstyle.

[timber dock]

@grand plume sell them unless you need them for some task?

[half jackal]

@grand plume sell all but 10 usec/10 bear

[worthy schooner]

ive learned the customs map okish not completly.

[tacit jacinth]

if someone is willing to help me lmk

[elfin vigil]

i need some help i am really discouraged rn cant get any loot i have played this game enough to know customs but thats it

[half jackal]

@elfin vigil run scavs on interchange

[timber dock]

^

[half jackal]

once you're confident with the layout - go pmc

[stone surge]

would be nice if there was a sherpa available rn though

there's so many people asking for help

[half jackal]

Sherpa is really only in-raid help, otherwise its same advice most experienced players can give

[potent drum]

to the guy that killed me on shoreline yesterday and looted everything but left my reap-ir thank you

[obtuse sleet]

if anyone is level 6+ hmu and lets group up

[half jackal]

-+

[worthy schooner]

im only lvl4

[half jackal]

@obtuse sleet #521628660298678283 & #news-setup then #pvp-lfg

[obtuse sleet]

ah thanks

[stone surge]

@worthy schooner try to get 5 first if possible

it allows the flea market

so you can buy anything you want

makes the game a lot easier

[worthy schooner]

im trying cant make very fast progress. i now have 2k rupels and no load out( got domed on my last raid)

[stone surge]

then scav

on interchange

and try to make money

[half jackal]

^

[stone surge]

and learn the map

[potent drum]

or reset you account

[stone surge]

try more on learning the map than getting loot

[potent drum]

jk

[languid flare]

Iam so BAAAAD with pistols..

[stone surge]

new players go broke on customs

[languid flare]

Iam never gonna get that done >.<

[stone surge]

ebcause the map has no loot

[worthy schooner]

ive been doing alot of scav runs on customs made some progress but not enough

[stone surge]

yes but customs is horrible

for loot

[worthy schooner]

oooh ok

[stone surge]

it's a trap-map atleast that's how I see it

[half jackal]

customs is all tasks and pvp

[stone surge]

the map is all chokes, only 2 ways to go from A to B

so you're nearly meant to find players

and there's no loot besides marked room in dorms

[half jackal]

theres only 1 place for loot - and its literally a gamble whether you make 10k or 1m

[stone surge]

or perhaps the boss, but a new player wont be able to do any of those 2

[spark marsh]

customs doesnt need to be a loot map

[stone surge]

Interchange (or shoreline village on the left side of the map)

is really chill looting

[spark marsh]

the players bring in the looot for me

[stone surge]

you can get full backpack fast

[worthy schooner]

also aside from the help. im just looking for a group to play with none of my friends play ETF.

[stone surge]

and avoid players

[languid flare]

Why do I even bother with PMC if all my progress comes from Scav runs
lol
Literally.
I run alone PMC, ded
I run Scav: Super loot

[spark marsh]

caveman, if u want illl invitee cha to my discy

[stone surge]

@spark marsh the savior we need

there's a ton of new players

needing help

[spark marsh]

a lot of people in there all new to the game, if you ever need help

[stone surge]

here right now

[spark marsh]

im normally around helping out

[timber dock]

@languid flare task objectives can only be finished with your PMC and you build skills on your PMC over time as well.

[worthy schooner]

@spark marsh im down!

[languid flare]

@timber dock You think I dont know that? But why bother if I just die and dont get the task done either way? <.<

[half jackal]

Honestly just ask in #pvp-lfg - say you're a new player

or sign up for sherpaa

[stone surge]

@elfin vigil @obtuse sleet Try asking chilly bear if you can run with him sometime

Chilly you should ask for sherpa status perhaps?

[spark marsh]

Ive been grabbing brand new players i dont mind helping out 🙂

[timber dock]

@languid flare if you survive on Scavs but not on PMCs, try hiding in a bush for 20 minutes on your PMC then pretend to be a Scav. 😛

[mild lotus]

Anyone want to jump in a game? Fairly new player

[languid flare]

Factory has no bushes xD
In this case I need PMC kills

with Pistol

[spark marsh]

🙂

[serene yarrow]

@mild lotus i could do a scav game in like 15 mins

[bold kernel]

what is best looting place in shoreline for scav

[languid flare]

And other things on Factory, but yknow

[stone surge]

I'm also here to help, but I rather focus on helping someone in 'improving' rather than learning the game. Such as playstyle/lootpaths rather than explaining how everything works in the game.

[mild lotus]

@serene yarrow Sounds good

[stone surge]

i just dont have the time to do that

unfortunately.

[mild lotus]

@stone surge If you're around now I'll jump on with you

[timber dock]

Does shooting your group mates count for task objectives where you need to murder PMCs?

[spark marsh]

no

[mild lotus]

I'm not new enough to be useless but can definitely use advice

[languid flare]

In theory it does, but thats cheesy

[stone surge]

Sure

i have some time in like 30mins

[bold kernel]

what is best looting place in shoreline for scav (?)

[mild lotus]

ok messaged you @stone surge

[stone surge]

@bold kernel Village imo is most chill looting place

if you dont wanna fight for loot

[bold kernel]

fight who

[stone surge]

players

[bold kernel]

npc's or players

mmkay

[stone surge]

50%+ of the map

will be in resort

so if you go there u'd have to fight for it

[bold kernel]

i never find anything in the village tho

its always cleared

[stone surge]

because some people spawn there

so they loot it

if you spawn at the other side of the map

you dont really have to try looting that

you could also try caches around the map

(barrels inside the ground)

they contain rare items

[bold kernel]

where is resort?

[stone surge]

but are hard to find, so you need a map

above (north) of the map

in the middle

[bold kernel]

the big place with 3 buildings connected?

[stone surge]

correct.

[bold kernel]

ive been there and i like it

[stone surge]

that's the best loot place in shoreline

or perhaps the game

[bold kernel]

really

i just got rich finding gfx card there

[stone surge]

yes but it requires keys for it to be really good

[bold kernel]

oh

where can i obtain those keys then

[stone surge]

all the doors can be opened with keys

flea market

buy them

[bold kernel]

but

if im scav

[half jackal]

nope

[stone surge]

yup[ you dont have access to it

[bold kernel]

😐

[stone surge]

thats why u meet PMC's there

99% of the time

[bold kernel]

oh

[stone surge]

because scavs dont bother

as you just risk yourself

[bold kernel]

last couple of times there was nobody maybe i was lucky

[stone surge]

for well.. not being able to open doors

[bold kernel]

yeah

[spark marsh]

always good to lurk and wait for pmcs to open doors,

kill them, take the loot

[stone surge]

@bold kernel Resort = rushed

so let's say you go there slowly

[bold kernel]

what is the best place to camp in resort

[stone surge]

then all pmc's are either dead

or gone

[bold kernel]

i have never tried camping yet

[stone surge]

most PMC's enter the building

first ~2-3min

of the game

and get out by 30-35min left of the map

[bold kernel]

if im scav with shotty, for example, where should i lurk there to wait pmc's?

[stone surge]

anywhere really

[pliant plank]

i just want to play a game

[stone surge]

the whole building = a loot heaven

[bold kernel]

cool

[pliant plank]

can i play the game please

[bold kernel]

but like

[pliant plank]

ive been in queue for 45 minutes

[bold kernel]

should i prefer second floors?

[spark marsh]

best place, is in the middle where u can get a sightline on the class walkways

[stone surge]

probably yes

[spark marsh]

best to hear players and see them cutting across

[bold kernel]

the staircase place next to auditorium?

[hazy patio]

What is the difference here except an "N"?

[stone surge]

auditorium? i believe that's behind the actual wings

in the resort

ppl don't usually go there unless they really wanna maximize loot

[hazy patio]

Here*

[bold kernel]

oh

mmkay

so i should camp wings

[stone surge]

@bold kernel the auditorium is nice for scav though

u can get quite some loot / sportbags/medbags

[bold kernel]

yeah i usually go that part of the site

[lusty light]

the administration building

[stone surge]

idk resort is just loot all over

you dont need to search well

to find loot

[bold kernel]

yeah

many pc's too

[spark marsh]

the thing as a scav tho, is expect all the high tier rooms to be hit

[bold kernel]

at auditorium building

[spark marsh]

so i go looking to see if anyone has missed anything

ledxs and flashdrives get missed all the time

[stone surge]

@bold kernel there's also a couple red keycard spawns

worth checking out if you happen to be there

20mil if you find one

[fallen crane]

how do you miss a ledx

[stone surge]

you dont need a key

[lusty light]

you dont

[bold kernel]

wow that ledx thing is worth a lot

[lusty light]

hes just blowing it out of proportion

[bold kernel]

didnt know about that kind of item

[spark marsh]

people never check shelves behind dooors

[lusty light]

yes they do, its their spawn

thats why they do the resort runs.

[fallen crane]

anyone who doesnt check that spot is an idiot

[bold kernel]

wow 20mil

[stone surge]

@bold kernel 218 east and basement below west wing have red keycard

spawns that can be checked as scav

just dont expect it to be there

the dropchance is so low

[bold kernel]

where do those keys spawn

[stone surge]

i just mentioned that

xd

[bold kernel]

sry i have adhd too much text

rofl

[stone surge]

@bold kernel https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/7/7e/ShorelineKeySpawnsByStealtheh.jpg?version=fb8da2fcc75f13e705c01452d9ed2f30

[fallen crane]

watch pestilys video and he shows the locations

[stone surge]

all key spawns on the map

[bold kernel]

cool

so i should sell those keys instead of risk of using them myself?

i guess they are for squadplay with experienced players

i am nab

[lusty light]

yes sell when you are just starting out

[languid flare]

All you risk is your gear, the keycard would be in your container

[lusty light]

raw roubles is more valuable than stuff you wont/cant use

[bold kernel]

oh

[calm talon]

Anyone know why i cant mount PU ringmount on my mosin? I bought 4 mosins + 4 mounts with scopes. But I could only attach the mount on one of the mosins

[bold kernel]

yeah

many times i have forgotten about my container

[lusty light]

do you have the kochetev padawan

[bold kernel]

once i had some good stuff with me but not in container

[lusty light]

you need the koch mount to get the pu mount to put the pu sight on

[bold kernel]

god damn

i must go scav shoreline resort now

[calm talon]

oooh i see

[bold kernel]

ty for tips bros

[calm talon]

thanks mat

[stone surge]

@calm talon try to get used to "presets"

it's way easier to put weapons together through "presets" or "modding"

modding if you have the items in your inventory

so you dont have to puzzle out what goes first

[calm talon]

yeah, i guess I just didnt pay attention :p

[rare helm]

Two questions: where can I find an updated loot table and a decent loot path for Customs?

[lusty light]

dorms

done

choose a real map for loot next time lol

even if ur doing stash runs better to do it on looterchange

[vocal imp]

invested 60k into a kit, walked out with 140K in gear, feels good

[bold kernel]

why does my screen ingame look foggy like this

even tho i just spawned

[fathom barn]

faceshield

[bold kernel]

does my scav have some allergy?

oh

oh yeah

[fathom barn]

N to raise it/drop it

[bold kernel]

oh

cool

but does it protect me if its on

[valid dove]

Anyone having this issue?

ping timed out

[livid merlin]

why is it taking a long time to find a game with my mate but when i solo its instant?

[lusty light]

𝕂𝕣𝕞𝕣𝕕Today at 9:24 PM
does my scav have some allergy?

[bold kernel]

Does the faceshield protect me if its on my face? answer quick i think fighting is starting

[lusty light]

LMAO

I LOVE THIS

yes it does if you pull it down

[spark marsh]

Yes

[bold kernel]

how much tho

is it worth it

[spark marsh]

Yws

U get 1 tapped without it

[bold kernel]

how much is a lab keycard worth

bullets cant hit my eyes?

[spark marsh]

150k ez

[bold kernel]

lol

my scav just spawned in with one

okay

ty

[timber dock]

@bold kernel pretend you're invincible

[bold kernel]

i do not pretend

i am

https://tenor.com/view/golden-eye-alan-cumming-boris-grishenko-iam-invincible-strong-gif-4997025

thats me looting resort pc's

[velvet rain]

30 minute PMC wait time 12 min scav wait time love it

[pliant plank]

love waiting in queue for 55 minutes to die one shot from the scav sniper

[lusty light]

keycards 180k+

[spark marsh]

I just had a server connection lost and now i cant get back into the raid.

It happens

Tarky give tarky take

[timber dock]

Tarkov is one fickle mistress.

[spark marsh]

I cant reconnect to raid, but i dont want the deserter marking

[bold kernel]

how do i tell how much ammo my adar has

i cannot unload it

it just says ?

[spark marsh]

equip it and go alt +t

[bold kernel]

oh

cool

about half

ty

[timber dock]

Schrödinger's ammo, it's either empty or full.

[bold kernel]

update made it out with keycard

[sour plume]

is customs completely dead or are queues just bugged to shit

[bold kernel]

wait

@sour plume were you playing csgo earlier

[sour plume]

no

[bold kernel]

I remember a guy with the same name

[sour plume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWpCdUQLWwU

that's probably why

is good meem

[spark marsh]

I think customs is on fire currently

[bold kernel]

New to Tarkov . Anyone want to group up ?

[exotic nebula]

More of a technical question: 144hz monitor or gpu upgrade for Tarkov?

[stone surge]

@exotic nebula both but i'd say gpu first.

no reason to go 144hz if you can't push 100fps+

😉

it's pointless

[exotic nebula]

More so thinking along the lines of not wasting frames

Or just smoothing my experience period

[fallen crane]

is your current gpu good?

[sour plume]

if you can reach consistent 144+ fps then monitor better, if you ever fall below 60 then gpu better

[exotic nebula]

It's okay. RX 480 + Ryzen5 1600. Hovering 55-63 with a 60 avg.

[elfin saffron]

get new gpu

[exotic nebula]

1070 TI it is then.

Thanks mates

[peak needle]

Im stuck on awaiting session start...

[lusty light]

give it some time

[peak needle]

Had to restart. Think it froze

[ripe linden]

Anyone have any experience with this kind of thing? https://clips.twitch.tv/HorribleTemperedWrenAMPEnergy Player takes damage without ever hearing the shots or the bullets or the impacts. They just get hit 3x times and die while only ever hearing their own grunt?

[cursive birch]

looking for someone to train me in the ways of the tarkov

[lusty light]

yes, silenced weapon from far range

also desync can do it

at first i thought it was a cheater or something but apparently its server lag

same thing happened to be on labs when i died to a raider though, heard nothing but i saw a raider shooting at me from down the map

[rotund falcon]

i have lost pretty much all my gear, im done with this game

tried of getting bodied by dudes that i never see

[lusty light]

thats part of the game, try running with a squad or a duo/trio

solo is very hard

[hidden meteor]

@rotund falcon might be cuz ur playing too slow

[sonic lake]

^

[rotund falcon]

but if i play fast i make noise

[sonic lake]

yes

but youre harder target

[hidden meteor]

u gotta learn where to play fast or where to play slow

[sonic lake]

^

[hidden meteor]

if you're moving like a snail everywhere

you're literally asking to be smacked in the head

thats how i played when i first started btw so i feel ya

[sonic lake]

its okay to sprint places

[hidden meteor]

it's literally experience

[sonic lake]

like its why you got the buttons

to do it

hell i sprint past dorms lol

i think its safer to haul ass past dorms than to creep around it

[sly warren]

Where do Gas Analyzers Spawn BESIDES Interchange, Im sick of that map

[naive talon]

Question. I had an sks with a 10 rd internal mag. I had another identical mag in my bag but it would not reload or let me take the internal mag out during raid?

[sonic lake]

you can only reload bullet by bullet with an internal mag

[remote totem]

yeah you cant do that in raid, just have to topload the bullets

[lusty light]

yeah you need the 20 round mag to reload

[sonic lake]

its INTETNAL

[lusty light]

internals are stuck in your gun

[sonic lake]

use a vepr km 136

cheap 30 round mags

[naive talon]

oh man that sucks lol. now i know i guess

[sonic lake]

same bullets

cheaper gun too

[naive talon]

Ill give it a shot! thanks

[sonic lake]

welc

sks overrated garbo

[naive talon]

yeh didnt seem that great

[remote totem]

vepr 136 is pretty nice tbh

some cheap mods help it out

[naive talon]

sweet, im still trying to find a gun I like that wont make me go broke. I kinda like the semi autos

[reef oar]

Can someone help me better my matching time? I'm on East USA and have it on select automatic but my queue is like 20 min

[remote totem]

i think the servers might be bad right now

[bold kernel]

did i sneak too much because the last 2 mins i had to run like hell to make it out 😄 just in time?

[spark marsh]

I cant get in to the game currently on na side. Not sure whats going on

[serene yarrow]

@bold kernel LOL GG

[naive talon]

thats cutting it close man lol

[bold kernel]

i almost lost the exit point too

i was like yeah i got 45secs left the hole is right there where to exit

it wasnt

then had to run 150meters another direction panting

😄

lil panic

[hidden meteor]

i forgot to bring in a sight

http://prntscr.com/qpd5yd

NOOO

[bold kernel]

noo

How do i add fuel to generator in hideout ?

where is generator 😄

[somber tulip]

so whenever i get a expensive key should i sell it or what

[bold kernel]

can anyone help me get better at the game im on oce servers

nvm

[spark marsh]

normally a key is expenisve for a reason

if u can run the room u might as well

if not then yea sell

[somber tulip]

@bold kernel yeah same here i dont know how to add fuel to the generator

[spark marsh]

and i can help you if you want, for some reason my game is bugged atm and i cant get on, but ill spectate ya to help

[late tangle]

Generator is beside the entrance

[sour plume]

i dont care how realistic this game tries to be i will never agree with kill trading

it benefits absolutely fucking nobody

[somber tulip]

@spark marsh thanks m8

[spark marsh]

and u need to go to the hdieout and click on generater

[bold kernel]

What is KILL TRADING?

@sour plume

[timber dock]

@sour plume it benefits the Scavs!

[spark marsh]

once its built then u can add fuel

its when u kill someone and die at the same time

[sour plume]

kill trading = you and someone kill each other at the same time

[bold kernel]

😄

how is that possible

u just shoot each other with funny timing

?

[sour plume]

because bullets have travel time

[bold kernel]

oh yea

[sour plume]

so if you shoot each other within the exact same few milliseconds

you can kill each other

[bold kernel]

but how do you know it happens

if u die

how to know u killed the other dude

[sour plume]

because you see the guy you killed at around the same time as your raid duration

or after your raid supposedly ended

[bold kernel]

oh yeah i feel stupid

[next vessel]

if you kill eachother youll see a kill on a kill list

[bold kernel]

lol

[fathom barn]

or you just see it with your eyes lol

[next vessel]

happened to me once

[bold kernel]
