sell it back 😛
is it just me with 800+ ping
it must be, no one in #community-support is mentioning high ping issues
what should i do with GP coins?
I would probably sell them if I ever found them, my traders are also low level
you can always buy them back later if you need them
is it taking everyone 5+ minutes to load in
yeah i sold them to therapist and i'm gonna sell the phys bitcoin to her as well for 135k
wd
i'm not having queue problems, factory is always 1min, reserve 3, customs 2 and i don't play shoreline nor interchange
for me
its my ping then
matching times are usually 1 minute. during peak hours I hit up to 20 minute wait times
i've never had higher than 8 minutes and that was on reserve
anyone know why the best ping server is 800+
is anyone available to help me in the help channel
CAN I HAVE A MAPO OF THIS MAP
https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/2/24/KibaM4A1.png?version=f193e9d08065a1bf8f58066dba2b4223 I got this M4 and it's in my stash. I'm relatively new so I know I'll lose it if I take it into raid. How should I go about selling it to maximise my profit?
@manic aspen i lost my items
in oiffline'
@manic aspen wait i didnt
it said i lost but didnt

Hi all I am looking for tactical suggestions for the taunts.. any idea what to set ... ? I mean also for the purpose of "having fun"...
You also get xp for your level while playing with scav right ?
@alpine edge Scav and PMC have different levels.
@dire stirrup thanks 😄
@alpine edge Yeah scav levels are different to PMC
anyone wanna do a ride
which is better the mf-un or the kirasa
kj
Should I hold on to a lion statue?
umm
up to you, there’s a trade for a docs cause for that and a few other statues
but you can get docs from a quest as well i think
I'm lvl one with the doc
anyone wanna play im brand new
I don't think anyone needs in raid lion statues, you could probably sell it to therapist
Scav lootbox in hideout requires 2 lions, but you can buy them when you try to unlock it
Don't buy stuff with lion statues at therapist
it's 150k on flea idk how much it sells for to therapist
probably worth to just sell to her then, avoids market fee + money spent for therapist
it's 150 at the flea atm
Don't forget about fees
122k she buys it for
7.62x39 PS
they're not great but decent vs mid tier gear
might struggle vs class 4 armor
extremely cheap though
87 per bullet from prapor lvl 1
anyone know if there is a suppressor for the sv98?
should be
pretty cheap too only 27k on flea
not sure if you also need the thread adaptor
Can you get tagged and cursed online? If yes how do you know?
?? What do you mean cursed
@plucky reef you cant
@plucky reef you cant tho sometimes certain areas can glitch and spawn a crap ton of scavs
Has anyone ever been stuck beneath the stairs in factory ?
Any way to get out ? I had to dc because I could not get out because of that box
anyone know why i keep getting broken links for the different zone maps on the wiki?
I just shot almost a full clip with ak from 2 meters distance to a pmc as a scav
he survived i died
anyone able to help me im so trash at this gamew
Anyone know if Flechette shells are worth using?
most of us new people are not very good
i am starting to believe i should stop going into raids without armor and maybe better ammo
I started using "cheaper" armour in raids, its saved me at least once every time
Whether its a random shot to the chest from somewhere or a buckshot blast up close
maybe ill start that
is anyone here able to teach me how to play this game because i suck?
The cheaper stuff hasnt won me toe to toe fights but its given me a second chance each time. Helmets im not so sure, ive gone back to selling them
yeah i usually lost a 1 on 1
Ive been buying decent ammo too because it does make a massive difference
5.45 ill use BT, for 7.62 ill just use PS as its decent for that calibre
I still aim centre mass lol
what does this symbol mean?
Doesnt help me at all, especially vs people with decent armour
@vagrant mirage Thats the Sherpa
i've been only playing customs trying to get use to navigation but have a hell of a time getting out alive
Practice offline on customs with PMC and scavs on. Try to make it from spawn to exit 10 times. If you can do it 50% of the time then try online. Use internet map (from the wiki) on 2nd screen. In the meantime while doing the PMC practice use Scav on Interchange to learn the map and get loot.
whats the best way to convert USD/EUR to Ruble
wiki map is very good advice and i do use that definitely helps
Just hold on to the currency. You will need it later.
I have 5k each I just need a small deposti
No real way to convert.
Those extraction campers main.. full inv good loot and there he was suprise! -.-
@dire stirrup whats a sherpa?
@vagrant mirage in #sherpa-info you can read it 🙂
what is the barter item called that cost 1.2m and its needed for a quest later on?
Copied and paste - A Sherpa is an experienced player who can be requested to teach newcomers the nuances of Escape from Tarkov. From basics to advanced tactics & training
LedX probably @mighty mica
yeah thats it thanks
np
no lfg here for new guys?@everyone
how do i add items to my quick use keys?
@gritty mica #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you get PMC role then can see all channels including #pvp-lfg
IF they are in pockets/rig then hover mouse over them and assign to 4 through 0 @deft mulch
ahh thank you
Hello!
Can anyone please tell me how to level intellect please :/
1 kill?
I got 3 player kills, and that would be broken anyway
How do I get better at timing my raids? Its like the 3rd time I go missing in action
imagine 10kill game, x10? yeah no lol
is anyone down to teach me how to play
my game wont download due to lack of space i delted all my games and i actually have less space by time it dowloaded any one know why
i've just started and basically lost all of my shit
@bold kernel As a PMC youre going MIA?
Use your brain
try to leave at MOST 5 minutes left
and of course know where the exit is
@frozen talon yes, even if I start moving towards the exit before the time is red, between one thing or the other sometimes I just cant get there in time
i think its kind of weird you get xp from offline runs
oh right
@bold kernel Nothing should really be slowing you down if you start heading before 10 mins besides campers, and if so take a different exit
I just dont see MIA factor being a problem if you dont tunnel vision loot, if thats the case then thats more focusing on your raid overall over just looting
Play your scavs
@bold kernel Use scav on Interchange. For the first run just run straight to exit.....
Youtubers will help alot too, so much to the game theres prob some basic stuff you dont know
ok\
Then Use that stuff to practice in OFFLINE mode with PMC
Try to make it from spawn to exit as PMC in offline mode 10 times on Customs. IF you can do it 50% then can try PMC online.
Interchange has 2 exits both outside the mall
Railway is in front of the IDea store in the front right corner by train cars.
cause i'm not good with maps but if i find the exit in game i will learn
Emercom is out back of the Oli store to the back right corner by tents.
Try to make it from spawn to exit as PMC in offline mode 10 times on Customs. IF you can do it 50% then can try PMC online. Turn scavs on. Use Internet maps from the Wiki on 2nd screen. @uneven sedge
As far as bearings. It will be a matter of practice. Try to locate landmarks.
yeah maybe I focus too much on looting and I am too slow while healing
@bold kernel @uneven sedge Both hit up #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can see all of discord.
shame I had some nice loot on me and now its lost
oops missed the rules check one
^ you are good. Blue name now
what body armor can you use to turn into Skier for the first quest?
i have 4 different armor's but doesnt give me the option to turnin
how to make 2+ million roubles per raid?
what can i change to get this to under 950 recoil?
ahh thats the only type?
You can find it in the little office room in factory
@bold kernel change the weapon
???
Ill PM you video, 1 min
@steady grove https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Supplier
their friend killed me
Has to be White 3m armor
cool thanks
@bold kernel try surviving next time. That usually helps
Fuuuhhhk, dropped fuel conditioner for a antique vase from a safe
Best tip for ALL tasks. Look them up on the wiki. It will tell you exactly what you need to do. This is not cheating. Doing the tasks is the hard part. Knowing what to do is just intel
i just got this game yesterday, how do i start, i played a few games but just kept getting killed
i had to die four times in a row just to get bad rep evidence done. not getting killed at the door was the hard bit
how do i get better connection

So I've put together a list of tips and useful information for people who are either starting out on EFT or are just looking to refine their skills.
Time Stamps
0:30 - Learn via Offline Mode
1:53 - Learning Maps + Player Counts
4:03 - Insurance
6:05 - Medical System
10:50 - ...
First thing to do. RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesn't matter how you do in other shooters. This is a knowledge game. You will die and die due to a lack of experience. Not gear. Experience.
It will require persistence and commitment. YOu need to learn maps, scav behavior, PMC behavior, good vs bad ammo.
Practice OFFLINE mode with scavs on at Customs. If you can make it from spawn to exit 5 out of 10 times then you are ready for online. In the meantime use scav on Interchange to learn the map and get loot.
👆
i came here showing my pubg 500 hrs only to realize that i wasnt even on a realistic shooter lol
this game is a whole different book
^ hah
Tbh tarkov isn't a realistic shooter at all
haha
Poor bastard
more realistic than pubg..
Watch deadlyslob's latest video where he jumps off the mezzanine on interchange and guns a guy down with two broken legs. Realism

I can say that from my vast experience in arma squad and hunt, this game is not thaaat hard
You just need to learn the maps
And the controls
And the gear
Knowledge ame
And ammo..
*game
I got a beta container. Is the alpha useful? Should I just sell it
i had my first i would say successful raid on customs, killed a lvl 26 and a lvl 32 at dorms, i was geared to teeth tho..
somewhat successful
Tarkov isn't hard per se, what makes it hard for new players is what @waxen forge said. There's a lot to learn and you have to take it upon yourself to find the info; there's also a lot of experienced players you'll be facing
The other thing is that tarkov is a game about stopping other people from having fun
It's fun to do it to other players, but it's not so fun when they do it to you

anyone got a good beginner guide, my pcm runs are horrible, atm i have to run scav to get backpack and armor :/
@bold kernel have you learned the maps offline?
Honestly I never played offline and I would say I am doing fine, it depends on your experience with this genre
i only run customs and i have learned it like 70%
i have an above average aim but idk if i am playing too defensive or what
Play it a bunch offline against ai until you're 100% on the map. Then go online and re-learn how to play it with pmcs on the map
aight, what bot settings do u recommend
the water i need to place for jaeger does it need to 60/60?
just online bot settings
Scavs are easy imo
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Gunsmith_-_Part_8 does this work with an akms
@bold kernel probably as online or hard difficulty and high amount
i do run online but atm i can only run scav runs cause my stash is empty
Yea thats a good idea
Playing offline is just about learning the layouts
It's not anything about pvp etc
You can just watch a video for that
@fresh umbra not the same as running it and exploring
its aight for map learning, i do not memorize much about maps when watching others play :/
I found that boring as hell as a beginner myself
Knowing the map well means it's one less thing you have to be actively thinking about in a pvp situation
New people don't know maps and underestimate scavs. They are going to get rekt by scavs. Offline gives them time to learn the game/mechanics how to fight without losing gear.
@waxen forge agree
@waxen forge yeap I agree especially on customs, finding stashes and dead bodies
I still play a few offline factory runs on horde mode at the start of every session just to warm up
I feel like the hipfire in this game is op
It's more that it's just effective in tarkov, whereas in other games it's not worth
It's, I believe, meant to be firing from a shouldered ready position, rather than hip fire
Your guy has his gun up, he's just not looking directly down the sight
i actually didnt struggle with scavs so much, i usually take shots hide peek shoot hide
Yea but if you look down sights
but thats after u learn their spots ^
Your recoil goes haywire
@fresh umbra depends on your skills and the gun you're running
No recoil control and an AKM sure
A few levels in recoil and a val or something, not so much
But the spray on like a stock sa-58 point firing is pretty wild too
again
duos on customs
full loot
cant people just play for themselves
jesus christ
its fair if they are similiarly geared
but the dude I shot at had an ssh and a shitty sks
then i got lit up by an m4 dude
LOL
I don't understand what you're complaining about
Tarkov is not supposed to be balanced. That's the nature of the beast. Can be solo against a few 5 man, or some 2 man, or whatever. Could all be level 1's or all level 70's.
cant really be boosted in this game tho
You can be boosted, in terms of loot
I've been run through labs on my pre-reset account
20ish+ times
Had a 20 mil stash, without doing anything
Set up for success
hello
downloading this game now, any tips for staritng out lol
You still need to learn how to use the gear though
Yeah, which is why I reset my account
just started 2 days ago and could use some help from a veteran
that 20 mil could easily be lost if you keep running into duos

I have Aim bound to hold not clic though
ctrl right click changes sights if you have them stacked on eachother
control right click
nah
the only down side to Hold aim
(I use it)
is that on the default settings
you have to un-ads
to change
i never had to stop aiming to change sights if theyre stacked on each other
Yea no problem. I use hold to aim
yep
in games i have found that if im holding right click to aim and drag my mouse it affects my aim drastically, id rather move mouse smoothly and hit my shots while aiming
freely
I'm just used to hold
if you are scav, and you shoot a player scav, does that aggro all the npc scav?
bruh
Unless they are bosses or player scavs
i have just been shooting them out of fear
scav on scav violence isnt fun
what is the one thing that you can put in ur alpha container and you can store a ton of keys and stuff in it?
what is it called
yeah u hear them start yelling in russian and you panic
sicc case
replaced my like, 8 year old mouse before christmas, so having 2 extra buttons on the side is great for changing scopes or free looking
what do i need to mount 2 sights on an adar
2 sights?
i hear yelling
i panic
i shoot
when does peacekeeper start selling M4A1's?
anyone know
like an Assault scope and a close range optic
LL2 @bold kernel
you need a scope with a rail on top, then you mount the red top on top of the rail
is there a way you can learn all the extraction points easier?
how
the videos ive seen is you twist the gun to look at the other sight
oh you mean the 45 degree angled sights?
yeah

idk but you need a rail to put it on that doesnt conflict with your optic

so looking at his lvl i just have to spend more roubles on him right?
Dollars and increase your player level
either him on you or you on him
yeah thats what i meant xD
Read "spent" as transactions. Selling to them or buying from them
best to trade roubles to him for dollars
dollas
somebody come [duo] golf and help me escape reserve pls
how do you play in offline mode
Escape from Tarkov, choose PMC map/time, next
so best not to go straight into MP when youre new to the game
Correct
i only did offline once when i started ;3
i didnt like offline
i would rather die in MP
Either the next screen will be the map screen or the offline screen. I think it's map
Then next.
yeah dunno if ill like it lol
Enable OFFLINE Mode and check the box for Enable pve.
i learnt the harder way i guess u could say...
anyone willing to help a newb?
which part of the hideout do I upgrade to reduce scav timer?
What would be a cheap armor for a budget build?
paca
Something that actually protects lol
why would you run anything higher
when everyone runs bullets that pen t5+
paca is enough to save you from scavs
6b13/23
hmm true
how important is upgrading your hideout? Is that something I should be pumping money into early?
No
you put money into hideout
when you have no idea where to put it
but early on, upgrade medstation and all the shit
that increases your recovery
also you might want a workbench
for weapon modding

Paca doesn't do shit
Oh, that's a neat function
It doesn't stop any bullets, nor does it stop scavs from shooting chest
It's literally pointless
its not
it stops scavs from one shotting you
it can save you from scavs
and blacking you out
It doesn't Vynnir
how so
it does man
Only if the scavs have buckshot or pm
Scavs still shoot torso with any real rifles on lvl 2 armour
paca is not pointless for a budget run against scavs
It's 100% pointless dude
10k more and you get lvl 4 armour
That actually protects you
I don't use it myself, but I put my trust into Slowly
i literally cant find the hand guard i need to mount the side mount on to
which one?
6b3tm
10k more here 10k more there and suddenly you are broke with one run
Off Flea
And how much money do you make when you can't survive because you keep dying?
whats wrong with it Flex?
i put in the money and everything but i cant click place offer
on trader is 48k
i think?
@bold kernel maybe you're missing the cash :^)
to pay the Fee
true
nope
she buys it for SHIT
a bit of an off-topic question but
sometimes she buys it for same price...well rarely but it can happen
litteraly
lol
what is that?
360k therapist 
OBS
for recording
it says my current frames are 30
not in the game, like
in general
i think it means your current setting?
Yea might be default settings
This is the installation, so I guess it might be
yeah
I always feel like my pc runs on 59 fps instead of 60
the second i overclock my monitor to 61
the gradient and gamma of everything drops
and it feels fluent
🤔
I run on 78-120
I'm talking about everything
not the game itself
But even in tarkov
Only when I overclock my monitor by 1hz
it feels like 60fps
Yeah everything
did they add scavs to crossroads extract
Yes
But a lower chance is higher than 0 chance
so when i list up my ledx for 2 million (lowest price of checking) NOW PPL ARE PUTTING FOR 1 MIL... after i put up my offer 
Just wait flex
LEDX have never been 2 mil dude
There you go
yep
I've been fighting a lot of scavs in lvl 2 armour recently, decontamination quest mostly
Not a single round has not been at my chest
From scavs when I've been hit
They do not give a single fuck about lvl 2
can i ask why on reserve sometimes it stops my sprint like i am in a mud or something?
Going through bushes
someone listed ledx for 9 mil 
oh
oh thats why tnx, i was trying to figure out and i couldnt lol
is reserve new? it has special bushes
It's more like hedges
special stopping power bushes
i couldnt even crawl through
i guess it makes sense
Is there any way of getting the gamma case with standard
No
Nopey
You can get epsilon which is 4x2 or Kappa which is 4x3
Can upgrade safe container through tasks and Stash size through Hideouts
there is
whats the point of putting a reciever on my gun?
if someone sells it to Fence you might be able to grab it
what does it do?
its rare
there is no button to reload empty mags right?
Pull all attachments off the AKM, and all you will have is the receiver
why does it show xp earned when you play scav if you cant level your pmc when playing scav?
Because that's easier than coding it so it doesn't show it I suppose
Scav and Player XP separate
You will eventually be able to level your scav
i think eventually you will be able to lvl up the scav, somehow, not sure
You do level scav but it's not really a factor in anything
No you don't Bud, your scav is rng'd
same as you level scav skills
Same with those
can you see your scav level?
Yes
It's not persistent
what would a horizontal grip be called when i search on flea?
Scavs level skills
how do i see that?
In scav raid
In scav raid hit tab and Overall
Foregrip, @bold kernel
oh its says not available in beta
IN raid
They do level skills, but it's not persistent from raid to raid
searching that doesnt come up with anyth :/
With scav
in raid it works? oh nice
Yeah
Use the drop down menus, @bold kernel
That's why I said it was irrelevant @trim herald
would be cool to level up other things, like what items they can have etc, because it doesnt make sense to always be the same scav
im sorry but under what menu would it be under?
Scav life DLC
functional?
You technically aren't always the same scav. They have different names
if im already running into stash space issues that does mean i have gear fear hoarding syndrome?
cause i cant seem to find it
idunaz standard account or bigger one?
standar
is the larger stash alot bigger?
Standard in 2020 no way man
Yes
yup like a lot bigger
Standards? Here? No way man!
damn i may have to
@bold kernel Grab the AK-100 polymer handguard, it's only 1400
this is rough
ugh, cannot make level 5, cannot ever make an extract. Always a geared player camping.
@flint fern First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesn’t matter how much or how well you do in other shooters. This is a knowledge game. You will die and die due to lack of experience not gear.

thats not coming up either.
idunaz sell everything to flea market or if good prices on traders and buy as you need, only way with standard until you get some cases
yeah
scav luckybox->weapon case->item case etc
oh right, what i can do with akm to put a laser, i need to figure that out
Ok so what’s the best place for me to go to customs etc. alright can I show someone my stuff that I have so I know what to bring
Fits on the vepr so should fit on the AKM too
What can I do to get past a geared player when I have no gear and they are prone camping the extracts?
well searching up doesnt come up
Same what do I do
well what are laser mounts called?
xtatic sadly not much, if you have the chance retreat wait some time or go for other extracts if available
do we just go in with a knife, and wait until the very end of the timer hoping everyone is out?
any
There's no way to effectively camp the extracts on customs though
I cant get any guns, no money left, cant make an extract
Customs for quests
Or 4
@flint fern You got your scav up?
Beside customs
anyone know what a laser would be called for an AKM?
interchange or shoreline
I just tried customs last, tried to get out at dorms, playing camping in bush there.
avoid factory and reserve if you dont have enough moneys
*player
I have this stuff and a little more
only scav those two maps
I doubt he was just sitting there camping, he probably heard you
Pretty bad
A lot more than I have @jovial quest
it seems like a dead end trap when you have nothing
I can give you a pistol
@bold kernel The 321 works on the AKM as long as you have something you can attach it to
wait, so you can put laser things in akm or not?
@flint fern Again, do you have your scav up?
I’m to scared to use it @flint fern
no, both just died on extract campers
what rounds and magazines does akm use?
7.62x39
what part do i mount it to @trim herald ?
scav died on old station woods
thanks
7.62
@flint fern Let me know when you do and I'll show you how to make some cash
Try the AK-100 handguard, @bold kernel
I have never ever seen the guy that kills me. its just someone prone or in a bush, 1 shot, dead
yeah this game is rough like that
I need a team
i hate when i die from nowhere
I feel like, if I can make an extract, get a good, I stand a chance.
I always go solo
*get a gun
thats not akm
Handguard goes on AKM too
Remember "camping" is a dirty word in other games. HERE "camping" is tactical play. Nothing wrong with it.
my scav had an AK74SU, felt like gold in my hands.. but.. extract camper.
except extract camping
i wish that could be nullified somehow
I expect people to camp, logically. I just don't feel like I can do anything to combat it.
That's basically an AKM
Just got the game, and man theres a lot of stuff
ok nvm i can put the ak-100 foregrip on and laser onto
Yes ;but even exit camping can be deal with. Honestly I don't get it nearly as much as people complain about it.
ive decided to cap the frames to 30
i just need to buy a foregrip now
I'm telling you dude, there's no effective way to camp most extracts, and generally camping is incredibly ineffective
lets see how it goes
@vocal roost First thing to do is RESET EXPECTATIONS. Doesn’t matter how much or how well you do in other shooters. This is a knowledge game. You will die and die due to lack of experience not gear. Experience. It will require persistence and committment. You need to learn maps, scav behavior, PMC behavior, what is good vs. bad ammo. Practice OFFLINE mode with scavs on at Customs. Try to make it from spawn to exit 10 times. IF you can do this 50% of the time then you are ready for online. Meanwhile use your scav at Interchange to get loot and learn the map.
Go to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup so you can get the PMC role and see all of Discord. IF it doesn’t work can PM the @ contact moderator bot for help.
I have a pistol on my PMC
what does the question mark means on exfills?
It's all about knowledge
really new players can deal with it? cmon man, they just trying to find the extract they are not in the point to scan wherever the extract camper is
ive only really had it once and i was able to kill the guy so im not too mad about it, but i do recognize its a shitty way to play the game.
? mark exfil are POSSIBLE not GUARANTEED
oh lord.
I could scan for an hour and not spot someone prone in a bush..
thanks
Is there another mount I can put on this for a longer range optics? Feel like I need something to medium range but dunno if I have room for another sight
I only check ? exfil if it's on the way to a GUARANTEED exfil
@waxen forge Alright sweet thanks
whats a good cheap vertical grip @trim herald
I'd need a Hammr right?
even if I do spot someone, I have 0.1% chance of killing this helmet, armor, gun with a scope player..
just kill him 4Head
RK-0 is cheap and cheerful
its very difficult at the start xtatic but its also extremely rewarding when you extract
headshots can kill any player in one shot i think regardless of ammo
I could wait until a players game crashes and try knife them?

Melee is not an effective killing method
@wintry cliff The MP7 has a rail on the top, although I wouldn't recommend anything more than maybe a 2x as the gun will loose a lot of effectiveness over range
dont despair xtatic, just take a small break and try again, go with only pistol try to get some hidden stashes in the container, small steps
what if your PMC has no guns and no money?
Then you scav
What Rommel was saying is that "camping" can be dealt with by tactics. I can enter an exit area in a manner to minimize the chance of dying to a "camper"
scav can never make it out
And I told you, I'll show you how to make some cash on your scav
Then you are using scav incorrectly for your financial situation
scav runs are easier than pmc..
Also don't waste scav on Factory
but if you are low from actually playing the game with no more healing shit, or maybe as a new player you dont have great healing shit because you're poor, and a guy camps you at the exit
I am trying stealth, not getting spotted, waiting for a quiet extract
thats shitty
you guys speak by judging from your own skill and experience, not all players are in the same level, its not fair to say oh i can do it, thats how i do it, so why not you do it
or if theres more then one?
i plan on not touching factory until ive gotten over 20 dogtags.
customs feels like I have the best chance for an extract, I think I just need to be lucky and not have a PMC extract camper
well @twilit patio the only way to overcome that i cant do it state is just keep trying thats how ive actually gotten hooked to the game, first day i wanted to stop so bad cause i couldnt do ANYTHING.
And you're not helping at all Boyster, you rarely do in fact. You're just making it out to be hopeless for a new player
It's experience not level. I reset last wipe 1/2 way through the wipe. I was level 1 with low skills and starter gear against all the boys who didn't reset and were high level with great gear. I was able to complete tasks and get back up to level 40 something due to EXPERIENCE. @deft mulch
keep trying, learn the map SLOWLY dont rush
is there a way to split up a stack fo ammo?
plan ur safe paths
i try to help as much i can but i find it hard when i see veteran players judging new players of how easy it SHOULD be to do things
Timer on your scav, @flint fern ?
5m
i dont understand what you are arguing bud.... extract camping is ok ?
I don't ever judge people, I do tell people to stop focusing on the negatives and try to find a solution though
my scav is ready but it has aks and other cool stuff so i'm waiting to use it
Because it's never as bad as it seems
People are gonna extract camp, it only make sense.
I'm not saying "git gud" but I am saying that this game rewards tactics, knowledge and commitment. You will struggle til you get those.
Anyone else who's new and poor and doesn't know how to make money and I'll take you too?
me new poor money boy!
if the scav gang offer is up ill go
i have never ran into 1 till now x-tatic, maybe try scouting ur extraction from a distance for a bit before going? not sure how to deal with it.
I made it to level 4 from kills, extract is my problem.
@trim herald may i go?
Sure
i was like that too..
Timers on your scavs? @drowsy canopy @terse narwhal
0
totally , experience accounts for alot for sure.
hello peoples
Games alot of fun to learn too.
bought the game yesterday
I just looted for 15K roubles too on my PMC before the camper 😦 That could have got my close to a new gun

welcome welcome
im actually just worried about once i know the game and have a shit ton of money tbh
thats my main concern with the game right now
i might feel like ive beaten it
Hope in Quad Mike voice channel, @terse narwhal @flint fern @steady rock
Oh, @flint fern go to #521628660298678283 and click checkmark
i dont think you can ever escape tarkov @deft mulch 😛
@waxen forge for your copy pasta you may want a comma in here "Practice OFFLINE mode with scavs on at Customs" could be a bit confusing otherwise
is killas rpk good?
think so
he doesn't have guards 😮 just random scavs
bruh you were struggling to get out of interchange and just killed killa now haha
dude tarkov is a horror game
i was walking and it was all silent and shid
and he popped up from behind a crate
i still dont know how to find my way to the tech stores from idea :/
i'm one lucky person
i went factory with only the knife found an sks killed a guy took his stuff and extracted
anyone wanna hop in and teach me
what is cheap sniper scope with magnification level switch?
what rounds does sks use
what are GPUs for? I found one and I dont know if I should keep it
are you talking in game or in stash
snt you mean to put bullets inside mag?
SKS uses 7.62
7.62x39
@twilit patio yes
!wiki graphics card
oh okay
@gaunt compass put in secure container
ugh thats bad
@night crag 7 need to be found for the quest Farming - Part 4
I thought they are related to bitcoin farming or something
wait gpu or cpu?
GPU
what is so valuable about alyonka?
Also need for Hideout for bitcoin farm
I already extracted im good
Or sell to flea
yea but still worth 280,000 @night crag
Im just wondering if there is not use for it later in the game other than the quest, I dont see anything about using it in the hideout in the wiki
Also need for Hideout for bitcoin farm
@gaunt compass you need it fore the bitcoin farm and a quest
you guys think I should keep or sell?
Is there a reason as to why i'm joining raids late every 7 out of 9 raids I go into?
Your call depending on your finances
I mean, im level 16 got like 1.5m and some gear so i think ill just keep it
gonna end up buying it for the quest anyway right
thanks for the help
the quest is not that important
how do i even get a quest
and the bitcoin miner is very expensive and you're not gonna get it until you're 30
go to the traders and in the top theres a tasks tab
Go to trading...Prapor and Therapist have first tasks. Go to their task tab and ACCEPT top middle
Ah I just assumed the quest probably lock more quests for me
but im pretty far from there anyway
maybe I will sell it
it does, but I don't think any of them are too important
Doing tasks will unlock more tasks
Tasks are easiest way to get XP..plus reward gear, money, and sometimes cases.
Leveling traders means you don't have to pay inflated flea prices for items since you can Buy them from the traders.
So tasks are important
Do you think they will eventually replace those task that say like , kill pmcs with pistol or kill them while wearing blue helmet? i find them not in my liking
well, when it requires like 7 GPUs I double think it :P
is a psu expensive?
kill them while wearing a blue helmet?? oof
if you end up paying it up, you'll unlock some great universally hated quests like shooter born in heaven
@vagrant mirage 30-40k I think
I don't think it's worth bothering unless you're going for the kappa
and an led screen?
20k ish
How do you stop chambering a gun?
for item prices
@dense crystal do full leveled up traders have anything good? i am loyality 2 in most of them and i cant find anything that will cost me less than just buying it from flea market
@dense crystal You are fine to ignore them however at least give the rookies full information about what tasks do and the benefits before dismissing them. They don't know and haven't made up their minds re: the value so without full information they cannot make an informed decision.
What is wrong with the hunter I shoot someone point blank well from like medium range and it doesn’t hit and I didn’t miss
which bullets hey?
I'm talking about the 7 graphics card quest @waxen forge there are like 3 quests after it with no good rewards
its all about the ammo man
Ok
with bad ammo and not a perfect shot he probably felt nothing
Is rpk 16 good?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qgHXHayi7CX9dOj8dxldHv2-uKzd7Gms2_kT4ukwzkM/htmlview?sle=true# does anyone know if this is up to date?
I like the chart
not sure if its outdated tho
@twilit patio yeah, high level traders are good for containers, ammo, attachments, weapons, armor for under flea market prices
Just picked it up should I sell it?
@dense crystal ok tnx, was bit dissapointed by level 2 traders
who is trying to squad up
lvl 2 therapist should have the scav loot box which you'll need

i mean she has it but i already bought it from flea before i level her up so it was kind a bit of meh situation lol
lvl 2 prapor has a nice AK for cigarettes trade, I think, lvl 2 ragman sells scav BPs and lvl 4 armored rigs
No one wants to group with me since I’m low lv
lvl2 ragman was good investment for me 100%
why?

but they have the same price on flea so
here's a real beginner question - why can't I change my name in this server?
scav BPs are probably cheaper on the flea now, true
I wonder Kevin if you sent a message top right in contact moderator if he will change it for you
not sure
worth a try i guess?
That would be swell, I don't really want to use a human name, you know?
the lvl 4 rigs are worth it though, people run those all the time even with maxed out traders
change your discord name then :)
I just don't want to identify myself. I use discord for stuff where people need to know my name
it's... challenging
🙂
@dense crystal sadly as a personal preference i never use armored rigs, they just dont click with me
people will know your real nickname even if you change it, just the way discord works
even if you change your name on a server when people click you then your discord name will still show up
i need to team up with a good play to help me around just to get the hang of one map
but that's work for them
what map?
customs
You should state your region and level if youre looking to play :D
