i want to play so bad at nighttime
pretty often I can do a night raid on customs, run across every location on the map and only find one pscav
but i would prefer if i had the moneys for a nightvision and not caring if i loose it
you don't need night vision for it
no, you can see pretty well on a light night
oh ok
Can someone help me learn factory?
@waxen forge oh you linked it for my questions earlier, thanks it looks like what im looking for
@native violet offline without npcs is your best bet to learn that map
I just got this in a raid, have yet to see this weapon. Is it rare or does no one use it because its bad.
bad not even close
its decent but kind of overpriced for what it does
the bullet drops very fast so people use it for close quarters fighting
However VSS is cheaper for the same weapon
yeah, or an mp5
val beats mp5
I'm going to say around 6 bitcoin per day. I check it here and there and drag 2 out at a time.
hm... thinking of upgrading one to full or near full
like 3 every 12 hours
thats lvl 1^
Maxed is 3 every 5 hours
also seeing that graphics cards dont have durability its even better
ish
I'm just filling a junk box with them for the hell of it.
(oh im broke) oh 5 btc in my farm im good.
oh i must have watched an old video
is there a headset I can use with the altyn
Nope
@waxen forge You mean 1btc/5 hours
Honestly I've never really looked. It may mean 1 every 5. I know I pull out between 3 and 6 a day.
It's 1 per 5 hours with 50 cards 😄
And stacks up to 3 in the buffer, so if you don't clear it every 15 hours it'll stop producing more
So it's definitely good money, but takes 26 days or so to pay it back from the cost of the gpus
Not sure if it'll actually be worth it once the gpu's have durability
Yea. Like all things in EFT it's subject to revision
If you're going to use it, keep it
Is it worth using?
Otherwise sell and rebuy if you change your mind
I think 30 is about the sweet spot before the diminishing returns start really kicking in
anyone have a link explaining lasers in tarkov? cause ive heard they buff hipfire but theres no stat for it
THey buff hipfire by showing you a laser..?
hey im new to the game, only level 4 atm, anyone wanna group up?
is East Wing 216 still useless and should i sell it to the rapist?
Im assuming all of them are about the same in terms of tightening up spread? @trim herald
As far as I'm aware yes Artroxa
alright ty ty
You also get the same effect from the IR laser on the LS321
Ah sweet
Without giving your position away with the dot
Just went to Customs got like 4-5 kills maybe more and now I have a positive kid
you have a kid now
News Flash: Tarkov can make pregnant
No
Yes
Please don’t
so, whats the name?
It was kd
kd?
Hello i have 2 sights on my gun how do I aim through my other sights
such a nice name, a girl I presume
kDR
how do we join the beginners chat ?
i completed a offline raid and i extract 😄 Iam happy
Kill death ratio
so a boy then
for the woods task (kill 15 skavs) do i need to extract after or does any kill automatically count?
LFG: lvl 8 new player looking for someone with more experience in the game. 18+
you dont need to extract
@bold kernel go to #news-setup and rules to enable lfg chat
think you might have to extract, but it doesn't matter if you extract same raid or another
you dont need to for sure
guys
nah, you only need to kill them
you can see as you kill the count increasing in task screen inradi
is there a faster way to stack rubles
in raid*
i have like a mil in 5k
Does helmet protect the face?
stash them onto your character through ctrl+click, and then bring them back to your stash
if it has a visor with enough protection lvl, then yes
yes but otherwise it doesn't right
yep
ty
can a good visor withstand a direct hit?
Weapon to go for after Vepr, when you want to step up a bit ?
Not from good ammunition
it depends on the visor and ammo
why did i just see like 300 dead bodies on factory
But it can save you sometimes
when the game just started?
how do i get the voice channels
go to #news-setup and rules
Weapon to go for after Vepr, when you want to step up a bit ?
@sullen kindle you mean vepr 136 or hunter?
i didnt hear any shots, but there were 20 dead people on the ground
and you are sure it wasnt a late spawn?
the game just started, i walked up some stairs, 20dead people, no shots
sometimes even pmcs get late spawns, did you check the time?
no late spawn, my game starts immediately
@solemn depot Lets say both, i have been changing it up between it
anyone ever had the vehicle extract by dorms say 'bring rubles' but you have 70k rubles in your secure? Wouldn't let me pay
7k ^
well is the truck gone lel
no the car was there
try some automatic weapons then, fal is rather cheap lately, but its hard weapon to master
probably just didnt stand still and hit f
i've extracted there a bunch of times and it says can't be moving...this was it wouldn't take my money
If I complete Operation Aquarius and I'm at 0.00 rep with Skier, will it go negative?
How do you rotate shit in the inventory, I’ve seen people do it but I don’t know how
If I complete Operation Aquarius and I'm at 0.00 rep with Skier, will it go negative?
@cedar imp im not sure but i think it will
How do you rotate shit in the inventory, I’ve seen people do it but I don’t know how
@lost yarrow R
Ok thanks
@lost yarrow bonus tip if you ctrl+left click you instantly move items in inventories
or in traders etc
Thanks that would be handy lol
And alt+click to instantly equip items like guns and gear
Sweet
just loaded into custom but the loading screen doesnt go away. damn. wait or alt-F4?
oh no
did you extract???
@autumn obsidian try to restart the game
whom
oh was the oh no for the lvl 1 who got headshotted?
yeah
ouch
i mean he survived 20 minutes
thats like 19 minutes 30 seconds longer than my first time
What does it mean when Prapor fails the insurance and says "someone has outrun us"?
Someone snatched your shit
So it cant happen if I went MIA because I didnt extract in time right? It must be another run
Why?
Because it's how the game works 😄
wait if timer runs out you dont get from insurance?
Correct
so if the timer IS running out, drop all your shit and try to commit sodoku?
where can i get people to play?
I want to play with someone I usually get 1-5 kills and can extract its just my mic isnt working right now
ah thnx
thats so stupid
You can drop gear on the floor though if time is about to run out
And you'll get it back
But if you're wearing it you won't
oh just whatever is on you? nice
thats very weird
It's gaming the system
Somewhere I can go to look at noob friendly budget builds?
VEPR 136
Which is more important in this game, FPS or image quality? Anyone have recommended graphic settings for GTX 1060? I'm getting clapped and most of the time I can't see where the person is at.
what is the sicc and thermobag for to put in ?
I have a 1060 and I don't really see anything below 60 with these settings. @timber kernel
cooler is food
ans the S I C C case ?
sicc is a doc case basically
ah
eft can be cpu heavy
on low settings its cpu heavy
is there a way to remove a bugged item in flea market? (offer still there after being sold)
cant press it or anythin
I did restart
just wait it out
okay
hmm, that usually works for me. removing it from the market has also worked
@autumn rivet is FPS as important as other shooters or is image quality preferred?
Yea im looking under my offers but I cant select it or press it
Positioning usually wins out in this game I feel like, so fps is less important
But its still nice to have high fps
@timber kernel I'm assuming you have a 60hz monitor, so you're not going to benefit from anything over 60FPS. That said, I'd take FPS over image quality if I had to choose. Do what you can to get to 60 and call it good
just add a solo map lol
there is plenty of communities , ts and discord arround tarkvo. so just get someone to play with ;)
I prefer playing solo and interchange and shoreline are probably my fav 2 maps for that
this is not fornite kid ;)
Anyone wanna squad up im new to EFT
@autumn rivet I actually have 144hz monitor but can't get much over 100fps when I knock my settings down. I think I'll I need to sacrifice fps for better image. Thanks all.
if u cant handle fighting a squad, retreat . or try youre best predicting moves and flanking them
@torn ether 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 commitment. 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.
Someone hit me with a cheapo suppressed gun for Punisher Pt 2.
that moment when u finish a therapist quest and get 8 bottles of water with an almost full stash ...

Ah, in that case, IDK what to tell ya. I'm running a 144hz as well, but limited mine to 60 to avoid frame skips. I'm not sure you're gonna see 144 in this game with a 1060. Your best bet is consistency IMO. If you can maintain ~100, you should be able to limit to 60 and have no problem with stutters. That's been my experience at least
also wtf is with people calling people kids as a insult
I would put money on me being older then you
is it worth trying to level up or do quests for skier?
i spawned in with the scav that had the labs card on shoreline
hi
skier has many attachments for various weapons, so he can be useful
fairly easy
does buying dollars from peacekeeper add to the ammount spent?
yep
by flea market i guess
JESUS CHRIST
I reverted most of mine by buying M4s and selling them to flea, i hope i didnt loose much
man fuck the health regen system
is it possible to enforce a door when "open door" isn't available?
is there a difference between m855a1 ammo and m856a1?
why is my bitcoin farm locked in hideout btw
you need to have inteligence center lvl 2 to even begin building

how do u get folder with intellegince
@pastel comet 855ai has better penetration, 856ai is a tracer
it can spawn on reserve and labs if I recall correctly
but I would say that its easier to just buy it off the market\
then you dont have all the stuff for sure. missing parts /money/ trader lvl/player lvl/ other hideout stuff levels ?
I do get XP when in off mode??!!?!
@waxen forge I'm ready right now. I'm jlegobot from the sherpa system. I contacted you.
ah ok
i just bought the stuff i need its in my stash but cant upgrade
thx
@bold kernel check all the requirements. its not just parts for most of the stuff
Man I hate that they make you do quests on shoreline
Its like they took the worst part of customs and woods and just smashed them together :/
wheres the lfg channel on here?
how do you use the HAMR sight on top
Robomo you have to put a sight up there
is the best way to level a trader by doing quests?
think of it like a mount
ah I see
@bold kernel try restarting
doing that now just thought of it
where is the emercom checkpoint escape on interchange?
from OLI follow the road and ull be there
@ornate stream you need trader rep (quests), your character lvl and reach monet spent on traders
servers are on fire, its weekend and all of you new players are stretching the resources thin
u cant buy it from market can u ? @solemn depot
talking about the intellegence file stuff
you can
oh ok nvm
but i cant select dollars to set the price of them
im not sure how do it
i really need to i just spent 700k on dollars 😂
you could buy something with those dollars and then sell it
but on the chance that that item wouldnt sell id be fucked
You can't sell dollars on the Flea
How to still aim down sight when firing bolt action rifle ?
what PK lvl you have
only thing i can do is buy with them and resell?
Yes
lvl 1
@hearty sky Check bindings for hold breath
best pistol to try and do the 4 pmc kills with?
well what can i buy from him and resell
something that u think would actually resell
Not from lvl 1 really
buy sights and ressell on market
Just level him up though
if noone buys them then i will
Buy stuff from him and sell back to him
ok ill do fast fire..
Very unused optics
sell it for slightly smaller price
ill sell it for somewhat cheaper but i just wanna garuntee buyers
i can only buy 5 so whatever not worth it for me..
you could buy from his and sell to some other trader
@trim herald what do u think is best to resell to him
that i can buy infinetly from him
well i want to finish his quest so i might aswell buy and resell
Maybe a dumb question. But if I craft an item in my hideout with 2 items found in raid. Is the crafted item found in raid?
yes
Nice
even if it isnt crafted with items found it raid
Okay.
Anyone know why my in game sound for Tarkov is not working? Ive checked drivers as well as enabled/disabled devices
nothing seems to work
sound works for every other game but not Tarkov
I have uninstalled and reinstalled as well as restarted pc
do u think M4A1's would sell well on market?
it always does
everything pretty much sells
Sure @bold kernel But you still need $11k for quests
i just got the game and could use some help
hm ok.
where do i start, should i go in offline mode to learn the maps
yep
its a safe option, you wont lose anything
but you also wont gain anything
you character will reset
okay
How do you go offline mode
im debating wether or not just keeping the dollars for buying m4a1's, but i feel so bad for going from 700k roubles to 70k
what do you want to do with the m4? buy and sell them on the market?
hmmm
with modifications
oh... ok ill just stick to ak's im stocked up on modifications for those anyways :/
My prefence rather than m4 is mdr or hk
but buy those on flea
they should go for 50k
Verp Hunter over Adar ?
yep
@karmic meadow you cant force a door that doesnt open first breach.. its not rng
Ah, so either it works directly or it doesn't @uncut socket
does it work on doors that need keys?
iv got some quests to do on shoreline, you think i should just run mosin no armour?
i have never played that map before
its good map for sniping, but take a pistol just in case
why aint i skier lvl 3 when i have all the needed things
just byu something from him
How do i hand in quest items?
how do i know if a person i see is a scav
because i was just doing factory and there were like 5 dead guys on the floor unlooted and i shot a scav and he dropped me instantly
How do i hand in quest items? when i go to tasks the windows are empty but i have something to turn in
what quest?
do you need to find it in raid?
i assume so, but i do have a raid armor and its taking my inventory
so i want to hand it in
any sights you recommend for msoin?
the usual scope is good
rearsights?
im not sure about the quest
idk what scope you mean by usual sorry
maybe it needs to have 0 or 100% durability?
what key do i need for this? was the marked room loot buffed after the key durability update?
I can sscreen share or im streaming but i cant figure it outt if anyone can assist meee 😦
hey how do me and a friend group up together to do a raid?
you mean the PU3.5x for mosin?
yes
ok thanks
what other way is there to make money other than caches and interchange?
can someone hop in a call with me and help me through a scav run?
kill people steal their shit and sell it
@simple umbra You need to hand in module 3-M armour to skier, does not have to be found in raid though
idk why but the cache runs and interchange just bore the shit out of me, i guess if i knew how to efficiently do interchange id like it but even after vids i still cant get it in my head
thats not even expensive
best way to raise the "Money spent" in traders?
therapist is easy as you can just buy flea and sell her same price even profit, but others are really hard for me
buy & sell anything specific?
going the natural way about it will take years with some traders
Is the 6b13 armor ok ? Until when should I throw it away with it's durability ?
Yeah I use that one but I need some armor because of the punisher quest with balaclava and scav vest xD
so I guess 6b13 is best option ?
That one's bugged
and I keep dying
what do you mean ?
You can go in with any gear, as long as you kill pmc's you get credit
That's the shoreline kill pmc part right?
yeah this one
but I must wear balaclava and scav vest no ?
Nope
wut
It's bugged
fffff
Just kill fools
then I guess I'll keep rolling with the 6b3tm xD
ye 6b3tm will serve you fine for prob a long time
because the next upgrade (tier 5) is quite costly.
compared to 6b3tm.
is there any benefits to eating a painkiller before a fight?
depends
@karmic meadow Yes
Yes
if you get hit in leg and it gets destroyed, you will still be albe to run
Whats the best map for loot ive been playing for a few days and have mastered customs what next
Reserve for me
Reserve but I'd recommend getting the Red Rebel first
because if you use let's say balm/vaseline/ibuprofen you have painkill effect on you for about 10 mins During this time when u get hit you dont have to apply painkiller
only if you have keys tho
and if someone shoots ur leg out, you can still run to safety
rather than be a cripple and die
is labs run good?
good to know
for money
yes and no
What should i do with my hidehout ?
Also you won't get tremors if you break an arm and can't repair instantly
I always have a hard time getting to extract without getting shot by a player, I have no problems with scavs
If you are new you finna get 5v1ed
there is so much to learn in this game, thanks a lot for y'all help everytime guys
@bold kernel Can be, isn't for most people
Flex my experiences are bad but that might just be me
just trying to find a way to make money that isnt caches xD i would do interchange but i dont know how to do the run even after vids...
There's usually roaming groups of like 5 or so
@bold kernel you wont survive labs if you are new
hm i see.
it costs a lot and people bring in a lot of gear
Practice the interchange run in offline
that and the raiders
I bring in my best stuff to labs then try to find a keycard
granted my best gun is a semi auto ak
Keycards don't spawn on labs though
anyone wanna group up with a terrible noob trying to figure things out? (aka me)
remember always kick doors
QUick question, wich one of these keys are useless and i can get rid off? i've completed the operation aquarius and the extortionist missions, idk if i need those keys or they useless now
!wiki
@bold kernel
@bold kernel checkpoint key is 180k
car keys, the quest key for the bronze watch,
and you dont need it typically
wasup
sell it
Use the wiki dude 😄
because if i need it i can just buy it
@trim herald yeah sorry :\
i havent used that key once so \o.o/ and im level 41
can someone carry me a few games and show me stuff
Guys please help me are attactchments important? And is armour and what meds is vital for a pmc run
And what meds?
Nothing except for a gun is VITAL, but it all helps. Attachments help make guns more friendly to use
So to levle metabolism is best to eat and drink in raid right ?
Yes
You want some meds to heal damage, like AI-2, something that'll stop bleeding like a bandage, or IFAK/CAR/SALEWA
what about strength
Be overweight
Throw nades
@lilac dawn You also want some painkillers and splint
Armour is helpful for sure, class 4 is ideal
I see tnx mate!
But any is better than none
@warm rover The easiest way I found was to bring in buckshot in your bag when you do normal raids so you start the raid overweight, then just drop it when you find better loot
It's the most seamless way
It's the most seamless way
Hmm it could be the cheapest buckshots and then just walk around with it right ?
Interesting, scav backpack filled with bucks here I go xD
Confused on gunsmith 2, I cant figure out whats wrong with this
Called it
@trim herald I dont understand
and no muzzle on
I was fucking ar'ound with the attachments I have everything just apparently the wrong gun
what did you do with the gun he GIVES you
Can anyone advise me with regards to the M4A1 SPace Trooper? I managed to get one from Mechanic from some stuff I had laying, so I'm wondering how I can go about selling it for the most?
trash
Split it and sell to traders
part it and sell to skier and then mech
Sell mag and REAPIR to Flea
so sell the mag and reapir to flea, everything else to mechanic?
No
Skier first
Then mechanic
So anything Skier can buy except for the REAPIR to him, and then the rest to Mechanic
Flea->Skier->Mechanic->Therapist for best chance to get most moneys
why
Rapist pays the most
therapist doesnt buy skiers or mechanics items
therapist has best prices
Any good advice for beginner? First day playing and I keep dying after 10min. And it's a bot killing me
yea
Some of them are shared items
@sturdy vault "Bots" are much scarier in tarkov than in any other game, there is nothing wrong with dying to a scav
Yo what are GP coins used for?
yeah good catch rommel
You're probably better off selling a gp coin to therapist
^
@karmic meadow there really hard and you can't hear them so better run away when there in front of you? At the moment I was always rushing them
how do you guys do that when you have ammo clips you delete the bullets en sell it then or if you dont need them just sell them ?
mags* If there's ammo I wouldn't use I'd just sell it
even with 6/6/6/5/2/0 bullets ?
huh
If I'm playing as a Scav, how do I know who is a Scav and who is a player?
TPZ sp
@edgy osprey their behavior mostly
@sturdy vault it's up to you, they can hold good loot, but you put yourself at danger
okay thanks @trim herald
if you kill them theyll have pouch slot inside their inv
anyone got any tips for Custom Map? good routes and so on?
welp killed by a exit camper, looks like TAW has a new clan member they need to get
anyone know where the antique axe is found?
Imagine being sniped as a sniper
on scavs
Does consuming items that give Skill boosts only result in a temporary boost or is the skill increasing for that duration?
temp
i read you can give a friend a secure container in game, does anyone have an extra they would sell me?
so lame im not ready to drop 100$ on a game with huge desync issues and 15-40min queue times
Guys aren't scavs supposed to be friendly towards other scavs?
for the water cooler quest, can you come in behind someone who already unlocked it and complete it?
dont take offence, my experience may be different than yours
i dont think this game is polished to the point of costing 3X or more than any other game
@bleak condor @clever cairn @dusty harness @lethal fog @winter yarrow @sacred mortar @raw blade @bold kernel @finite temple
If you do not need any immediate help then please move to a different channel, these channels are not meant to sit and stream in
not sure how 45 is 3x then 60
but okay
you're an idiot, did you make the game? im talking about spending 145$ for a container worth a damn
150$ price is for people who want to support developers and want to see [eventually] polished product.
I thought the game was worth upgrading to EoD over 2 years ago, but if you don't think so, that's fine 😄
What are the conditions for a scav bot to shoot a player scav please?
no one forces you to buy that version
If you've aggressed other scavs, @karmic meadow
calm down kiddo there is no need to attack people
you can play wiht 50$ version and still you CAN get a bigger container in game
Do tactical sport headphones increase your hearing
can someone run shoreline with me im shit and need someone to guide my ass
they kinda do, i either spend 150$ to be on an even field with EOD players, they took away the ability to trade them... why.... other than trying to force people to buy the container
I haven't shot a single bullet @trim herald I got close to a gaz station on custom, scavs were shooting at someone and then when I took a pick to see who was who the scav 180° me straight to the face, run was like 2 mins long and I didn't shoot once
only an idiot would spend 150$ on a game lol
Ah it says "protect yoiur hearing" so it sounds like they make your hearing wrose
Thanks
what kind of even field? tell me
This is beginners assistance not discuss tarkov editions chat please
9 slots vs 4
what's so much differnet besieds the secure container
really?
@karmic meadow scav boss guards likely, they'll KOS you

does it really give you such a big advantage
it does lol
It's an excuse people will use when they're doing poorly
@trim herald No wayyyyyy I didn't know that, thanks a lot
Just do the quests and you'll have the epsilon before long
just bummed about this container
yeah i am only lvl 6 with ammo and mag case i spent all my cash.
Now spend some of that money on playing the game
how to i find people to play with? im new with pc gaming
My point exactly
I am looking for some new players to team with. Maybe 2 of us will equal a scav you kno?
@trim herald What if a Scav player shoots at me and I retaliate and kill him, does that makes me hostile ?
You sherpa in disguise, thanks a ton man.
No worries dude
yes it does
bams
theres no karma system yet
depending on your proximity to other AI they will not aggro you if you are far enough
i.e if you assassinate enemy player scav in back alley, scavs dont notice
Unless they do, because the system isn't perfect 😄
but if you do it out in the midle of tokyo you will get fucked up
Can your gun jam or someting? I had full mag Moisin (I had check it) but after the first shot the character wasn't chambering antoher round...
so wether or not I shoot first I'll always be hostile, and bosses are KOS, noted
they will always aggro uou
@tight stirrup Yes, if it's low durability
Also if you keep holding m1 it won't chamber a new round
@trim herald Oh I did not check the durability. I wasn't holding any mouse buttons.
thx
Hey guys, anyone know if I'm allowed to just Dm sherpas for assistance or do I have to go through the ticket creation every time
ticket creation
speaking from a volunteer teacher perspective it gets annoying when multiple people dm
reduces their desire to help
how does scav spawning work? if i want to kill scavs and avoid players for quests, can i just camp a scav spawn, and they'll eventually keep coming?
You can DM them @noble sand and if they have time they could help you with a specific task, but the ticket system is more reliable
The Ticket System allows you to receive free gear set as well as officially display the assistance
depends restrep, some areas (interchange oli/idea) may have infinite spawning
@trim herald thanks, the ticket sysmte is weird. I have to create a ticket for a specific individual
If you want you can DM a Sherpa for assistance first, then work out the ticket system.
Yeah
but for most maps scavs spawn in waves,
how do i get the arrow pointing up ohn prapor?
hey can anyone help me?
first in the first couple min, second near the end
@noble sand You can leave the request field blank, and any of the Sherpas can take it.
Oh shoot really?
@shy silo That is your 'trader rep' you need to do quests with the guy
does anyone know?
(If you want someone to teach you sniping, pick Tower)
ahh shit
@lusty light specifically i'm trying to do punisher 1 (shoreline scav with akm), can i camp like village or weather?
or should i keep moving to other scav locations?
@frozen bone the way i did that was going from spawn to spawn, so if i spawned road to customs i went down to blue construction, gas station/pier, scav island, villa and extract
if i spawn tunnel side i run the other way
Should i do quests or are they not worth it?
@lilac dawn extremely worth but not required, do it when you feel comfortable
Ok cheers
what is the easist map to learn
many quests require you to run dangerous maps like customs/woods that have high pvp.
@spice cliff depends on what yo mean by easiest, straight up easiest is Factory but its the most dangerous out of all of them
i'd consider it more dangerous than Labs.
Ive done customs like what map would you say i start next please?
anyone here able to answer my question? or who should i ask
@lilac dawn interchange/shoreline are large loot treasure coves
@lost silo What is your question?
ask away savage
@spice cliff Probably Shoreline, Customs is more useful though as it has the starter quests
I did a raid and now my alpha case isnt there how can i get it back
wtf
stormy i also recommend learning interchange/shoreline for loot but it can get disorienting without a veteran to guide you
whats just as easy to learn but not that dangerous
Is it in your stash?
@lost silo can you send screenshot
its no where
Relaunch your game. If that doesn't help, report to support.
in nothing
on shoreline, other than resort, are there any particularly player heavy hotspots? i want to avoid them if i can
@frozen bone Gas station
yes, gas station is the next hotzone
Power Station and Gas Station see a lot of traffic
but its a timed hotzone
well i just purchased the case. is there anyway to reset?
No.
why gas station? it doesn't have too much loot afaik
the game*
both power and gas are timed hotzones because yo need to pass through them to cross to other side of map
On the main website
It has scavs and marina has decent loot, @frozen bone
Hit the button that says "Reset the game profile"
ah ok
This will start you over from scratch.
its either passing gas or passing resort
yeah i seen the reset now will that give me all the starter gear back?
Power isn't so much of a hotspot though, it's much safer
@lost silo yes
Power is only a hotspot because of people passing through, they don't stay.
what about the village/downtown/cottage triangle area?
whats just as easy to learn but not that dangerous
Village is only a hotspot in the beginning, when some people try to run there for hideout items
those are highly trafficked by player scavs restreppo
@spice cliff shoreline/interchange
It's not very good for farming scavs though.
due to high barter item count
i see. thanks for the help everybody 🙂
does anyone know what scope Shroud is always using on assault rifles? i looks like a 2x and the reticle is a circle with a dot inside
Uh
@lofty shuttle Monstrum 2
That's not very useful as a description.
That sounds like the Monstrum
Also @frozen bone I need to confirm something about your profile picture. That is the HK protestors' flag, yes?
yes
@lusty light thank you!
It's the Monstrum 2x yeah
np grace
pretty expensive too 🙂
Sorry Restreppo, but I have to ask you to change your profile. It goes against our rule 2, which does not allow for profile pictures of political nature.
After getting super familiar with Customs, what map would you all recommend learning next?
Can anyone recommend a good level 17 gun? I got about 3.5 million in the bank and feel like I keep getting shredded using AKs
ok. thanks for letting me know toast

This chat isn't the place for that.
does anyone want to hop in and help me, im brand new, ive watched streamers play for a pretty good while now though
@rapid notch AK's are solid honestly, just make sure you're using BS
I'm sorry, but the rules are rules.
@rapid notch i recommend sks if you want something that can shoot at any range
Yeah it's worth the money? I usually bring 120 rounds and that costs me quite a bit.
bs ammo is expensive now so not worth for new players
36k per 60 round mag, or 18k per 30
You can keep a mag or something in your container and swap out later on
in raw ammo
It's definitely worth for newer players
It'll reliably pen class 5 and 6, wheras BT and BP will struggle to penetrate class four.
BT or BP WILL get you killed because you can't kill someone
ye i wouldnt run 545 ak systems in general without BS
however i wouldnt run 545 ak systems period
how do i make vss supressed
It's always suppressed
with a suppressor
You can't use it without one
i was jokin
so this game has been out for a while, why is it now all the "BIG" streamers are hopping on?
pubg was getting old
@serene lichen there was a marketing thing where people who watched it on stream got free drops, streamers saw it blow up because of that
ive watched grimmmz play tarkov for what seems like a couple years now
@serene lichen The drops made more people notice it. Many big streamers had also played it in the past, just not a lot
The new .12 patch is also very good
Any good level 4 amour for cheap?

Not the correct result? Use !wiki page 6b3tm for a direct link or !wiki search 6b3tm for a list of all hits.
is this just a 1 month trend or a hit?
Ok thanks
@serene lichen hit imo
Due to the cyclic nature of the game I would expect people to start falling off from the game as time goes on, and then come back when the next wipe occurs
Most of the big streamers played it before but hoped on it when the event happend.
yes they did but now there tweeting "I LOVE TARKOV SO ADDICTING" diddnt notice the hype untill shroud played it non stop on mixer.
Shorud and Summit played it beofre but I agree most of them just came cuase event
Well the game is a lot better than it was when some people played
^
And the new content patch is a good reason for a bunch of people to play
Shroud played a fair bit last wipe
What would you veteran players recommend as my second map to learn inside and out. I started with Customs and now I’m looking to expand.
But he took a shitload of donations from chat so he decided to not do that this wipe and clearly has been enjoying it way more
so does FreeStyle work?
any one here have the edge of darkness bundle? worth
@red sedge interchange/shoreline
Yes, @uncut socket
yes i have it , not worth if you just want stash/gamma - you can build up to epsilon
worth if you want those things + dont mind not having an advantage later
@serene lichen I thought so 2 years ago. I still think so today 😄
what is the "unique game id"
is a 10min+ customs queue normal?
But I always recommend that people get the standard edition as you can upgrade whenever you'd like
You get a golden coloured name, @serene lichen
Sorry to budge in, but how do I make a workbench?
nice
@glass moon Do you have multiple servers selected in launcher?
@grim pivot Go in your hideout, find it in the bottom scroll menu and it should tell you the requirements
okay! so if I have all the stuff I can make it? it confused me cause it says locked
I need like screws and clippers
I've never found a generator in game though
What does the red searchlight do?
ye
It has the same effectiveness as a laser on hipfire spread
And it's not as obvious as a laser
Yes
Doesn't it like glare red when you see someone using it?
Only if they're pushed up against a wall, you'll see it against the wall
@subtle thunder you cant really see it
are you positive it works like a laser? last time I used it was just a red flashlight
as enemy.
any tips for the map shoreline?
100% certain
and does anyone have a shoreline map?
@solemn depot super easy to test in offline and 100% works like laser yes
Don't go to resort or gas station unless you want PvP
basically any1 with sweaty m4/no recoil guns runs infrared
it's kinda OP
compared to the dot lasers
Yes the IR light gives you the same point fire accuracy as a laser
i found the resort safe key
Eh, depends on how good you are at using it
Guess I'll try and run it from now on
@trim herald true but you can't switch it off when it really matters
coz you can hear someone turning it off/on
from 20 meters
I like my lasers
I mean that doesn't really matter depending on your playstyle
If you're just sitting in a corner, sure
But if you're aggressively pushing someone they're not bad
but even then you can still use infrared
https://imgur.com/gallery/u861meP @hallow thicket
I like seeing the center of my aim
because through experience you know where you hipfire anyways
IR doesn't give you the exact place
Yeah but it can be the difference between a HS and torso at like 15+m
ehh
can i get the 1p59 scope on the vpo 215?
i hipfire ppl from across hallways with hipfire you dont really need a dot for that honestly
what kind of adapter do i need
what cheap sniper scope i can use that is not pso? pref with magnification switch?
Elcan is the cheapest I think
@mossy meadow you can also use PSO with canted red dot
He wants something that isn't PSO so you recommend a PSO? 😄
And you can't put canted optics on the AK platforms iirc
Try the Elcan, @mossy meadow
As long as you have the right rail you can put whatever you want on it
Just be aware that the sens on the 1x is a bit sluggish
guys my scav has this huge bubble healmet anyone know what its called
i tried pso a couple of times, it was bad
with a plastic cover on the front
You need a worse handguard though, to have the canted
Guys, anyone know where I can stash my muzzles/adapters/stocks/etc. so the modding menu will recognize that I own them?
Anywhere in the stash?
:D
maybe for camping it's ok, but for moving around pso sucks, maybe im not used, but it takes like 3 seconds to find target when zooming
yes even in containers
yeah sorry, I meant any containers?
because when I put them in rigs or icases it wont
ill try eclan, thanks
Edit Preset menu will do that for me once I click assemble
but I prefer using the Modding menu so I can see what I actually own
Oh, I never use the modding menu
and it doesn't do that for me there :(
